+Then, the bird swooped down and grabbed something shiny. Sammy couldn't believe it! He ran after the bird, but it was too fast. Sammy looked around but couldn't find it. 
+
+He sighed. Suddenly, the bird flew back down and dropped the shiny thing in front of Sammy. It was a shiny gold penny! Sammy cheered and hugged the bird. From then on, he and the bird were friends!
+Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Jane. She was three years old and liked to play in her room. Every night, when she was getting ready to go to sleep, she went to her wardrobe and opened the door.
+
+Inside the wardrobe lived a little mouse. Jane always said hello to the mouse. “Hi there, Mr Mouse,†she would say, giving him a big smile.
+
+The mouse was very restless. One evening, he mentioned to Jane that he wanted to get out and explore. "Please, can I come out?" he asked.
+
+Jane thought it was a great idea. She opened the door wider so that the mouse could come out and run around.
+
+The mouse was so excited. He ran around the room, exploring every corner. Jane watched him with a smile on her face. 
+
+That night Jane and the mouse were both very sleepy when it was time for bed. So off they went, until the morning when they would play again.
+Once upon a time, there were two friends: Sam and Jake. Sam asked Jake, "Do you know how to mix things together?". Jake excitedly replied, "Yes! I know how to mix things together. My daddy is a mechanic and he taught me how to do it."
+
+The two friends decided to gather some things for their mix. Sam had an incredible collection of Lego pieces and Jake had some old toy cars. They started to mix it all together. They giggled as they watched the wheels go round and round.
+
+Suddenly, Jake had an idea! He put the toy cars and Lego pieces together and wound up the toy cars. Everything shook and Jake said, "Look out!" before suddenly, the pieces mixed together to form a robot! The friends couldn't believe it - they had made an incredible robot in their very own mix.
+
+Sam said, "Wow! How did you know how to do that?" Jake proudly replied, "My daddy is a mechanic and he taught me to mix things together. That's why it worked!" 
+
+Ever since that day, the two friends have been using Sam's incredible collection of Lego pieces to mix things together and make incredible new things.
+Once there was a family that lived on a beautiful island. The fair island had white sand beaches and lots of palm trees. Every day, the family would take a boat ride to an even fairer island in the middle of the ocean. 
+
+The island was called Plunket Island and it had a big hill in the middle. At the top of the hill was a big seat made of logs. When the day was fair, the family would climb up the hill and sit on the seat. They would look all around them and see the beauty of the island. 
+
+The family loved the seat and the view it gave them. They watched the sun shining on the warm blue sea and enjoyed their time there. After a while, they'd climb back down the hill and walk along the beach before heading back home.

+
+One day, the princess was off exploring the castle. She came to a big door that was locked tight. She thought to herself: "This lock looks special - I must unlock it!" She pulled out her key and put it in the lock, turning it this way and that. Suddenly, the lock clicked open! 
+
+She stepped through the door and found herself in an old library. The walls of the room were lined with books so high that she couldn't reach the very top.

+Once upon a time, there were two friends – a bird named Bert and a spider named Sandy. Sandy was always so bossy. She showed Bert how to sort his feathers and kept telling him what to do. One day, they noticed a magical spear that was stuck in a tree. Sandy was bossy again and said that she should be the one to pull it out. Bert disagreed, so they started to argue. Suddenly, they heard a wise, soothing voice. It was the wise tree. It said, "To decide who should pull the spear first, why don't you both sort out the sticks around us, and let the one who finishes first take the spear?"
+
+Bert was so happy. He knew this was a fair solution, so he started sorting out the sticks as fast as he could. Sandy got angry and started bossing Bert again. In the end, Bert finished his work first and took the spear.
+
+Sandy was disappointed, but she knew it was fair. She also learned a valuable lesson about taking turns, and how it is better to be nice and patient than bossy and pushy.

He was both scared and intrigued and decided to pick it up. As he snapped the skull in his hands, he heard a voice coming from inside.

She had heard wonderful stories about the castle from her mommy and she knew it was where magic was made. As she walked forward, she felt a tingle of excitement and moved closer to explore.
+
+Just as she reached the front door, a strange pain shot through her body. Little Jenny froze in place, unsure of what to do. 
+
+Suddenly a voice called out from inside, "Hello! Come in!"

+
+The storm soon passed, and Bravetail and his friends went to play outside again. This time, when Bravetail warned them of danger, they paid attention. Their eyes opened wide

+
+One day, when Jack was playing in the park, he found a strange object on the ground. It was a magnet and Jack was very excited. So Jack asked his mom, "What's this?" 
+
+His mom said, "It's a magnet. It can make things stick together! Look, why don't you try it and show me what it can do?"

+
+His mom was very proud of him and said, "That's great, Jack! You are so gifted." Jack smiled and kept on playing with his magnet.

+
+His friend Jake answered, "It's a storm, Ralph. We should get out of the way so we don't get hurt."

+
+The little boy was never seen again.
+Once upon a time there was a little bird. The little bird was very independent and she liked to fly around doing her own thing. One day, the little bird was high up in a tree, when she suddenly heard a loud noise. It was a thunder storm coming. The little bird began to shake with fear. She did not like the sound of the thunder and the lightning. 
+
+The little bird flew back and forth, looking for someplace to stay safe from the storm. But she could not find anywhere to hide. She was getting desperate and started shaking more and more. Just then, she heard a sweet voice, "Don't worry little bird, come inside here and you can stay safe". The little bird flew into the hollowed-out tree trunk. The tree trunk seemed like a safe place to stay, but once she flew inside, the little bird realized it was a bad decision. She had become trapped!
+
+The little bird kept shaking, banging her wings against the hard walls of the tree trunk, but she could not get out.  Finally, she had to face the fact that she would never be able to experience life as an independent bird ever again.
+Once upon a time, there lived a gifted hunter. He was very crafty and always got his prey. One day, he went out to hunt and heard something rustling in the trees. So he carefully crept forward and found a rotten old log. The hunter was puzzled because logs don't rustle by themselves.
+
+He cautiously lifted the log and out came a small mouse. The hunter was amazed and said to the mouse, "What are you doing here?"
+
+The mouse replied, "I was looking for food, but the log was so rotten it could hardly hold me."
+
+The hunter smiled and said, "I'm glad you're alright. Let me help you find something to eat." 
+

+Once there was a little girl called Lucy. She was ready to go and play outside on her scooter. But it had started to rain. Lucy was sad and angry. She shouted, "It's not fair!" 
+
+Her mommy said, "Don't worry. I have an idea. Let's go and get some rubber and use it to dry the scooter." 
+
+Lucy looked confused. "What's rubber?" she said.
+
+Mommy explained, "Rubber is a special material that can absorb the water. That way, we can dry the scooter and you can ride it tomorrow once it's dry and ready."
+
+So Lucy and Mommy went to the store and bought some rubber. Then they covered the scooter with the rubber and left it overnight. The next day, the scooter was dry and ready. After that, Lucy never took her scooter for granted and was always happy to look after it.
+

+
+"I'm making sure my case is nice and safe for Teddy," Daisy said with a smile. 
+
+Her mum smiled and said, "That's a wonderful idea. Now make sure you keep it nice and quiet so Teddy can get his beauty sleep." 
+
+And Daisy agreed. From that day forward, Teddy and Daisy snuggled together in the pink case, making sure to keep it nice and quiet. 
+ 
+The end.

+
+Dave stopped yelling and apologized. The angel had a mischievous smile. She said, "If you promise to be nicer, I'll loan you a map that will help you find the treasure you're looking for." Dave thanked the angel and promised to be nicer. 
+
+The angel loaned him the map and made him promise to share the treasure with everyone he met. Dave thanked the angel and set off on his grand adventure.

Dave was the happiest pirate around and went on many more adventures with his newfound map.

+
+Jake wanted to help the bird, but he didn't know how. Joe said "Let's take the bird and try to help it". Jake was unsure at first but he finally agreed and they carefully put the bird into a box and took it home.
+
+The boys knew they could not care for the bird, so they called the local animal shelter. A kind lady from the shelter came to help them and said "This little bird needs to be in a cage with seeds and water". She gave the boys a cage, food and water for the bird, and then signed for them to look after it every day.
+
+The brothers cared for the bird every day and soon the bird got stronger. Its flight became stronger and it looked healthier than before. Jake and Joe were happy to see their little friend getting stronger and flightier.
+
+Eventually, the bird was strong enough for the boys to let it fly into the wild. The little bird flew away and Jake and Joe were sad to see it go. But they both knew that they had done the right thing by helping the helpless creature. They both knew that every life, no matter how small, holds a certain weight in the world.
+Once there was a horse named Magic. Magic was the fastest horse in the race and he always won. It made him very happy. One day, Magic was running in a very important race. But then he fell and hurt his leg. He was so sad.
+
+Magic's best friend was a pony called Dancer. Dancer came to help him when he fell. Dancer told him, “Don't worry Magic. I will help you heal!â€
+
+So Dancer used his magic to make Magic's leg better. And sure enough, Magic's leg was healed in no time!
+
+Magic was so happy that he could race again. He galloped off with Dancer, and they had an amazing race together. They finished first and everyone cheered for them. They had won the race!
+
+Magic thanked Dancer for helping him heal.
+
+“You are the best friend ever!†he said.
+
+And they lived happily ever after.

+
+One day, Tiny asked Shorty, "Shall we play a game?"
+
+Shorty replied, "Yes, let's play!"
+
+Tiny said, "I remember we had a good game with the scissors last week. Let's get them!"
+
+Shorty agreed and got the scissors from the toys box.
+
+They began to make shapes with the scissors, but the scissors were sharp.
+
+Tiny said, "It's not safe. We should be careful."
+
+Shorty remembered her mom's advise, "Always be safe." 
+
+So they put the scissors back in the box and continued playing without them.
+Once upon a time there were two families, one was wealthy and the other was poor. One day, the wealthy family decided to go to the market and buy some olives. When they arrived, they saw the poor family also trying to buy some olives.
+
+The wealthy family looked upon the poor family and thought to themselves, 'This is unfair, the poor family does not have enough money to buy the olives.' 
+
+So, the wealthier family decided to give the poor family some of the olives they had bought. The poor family thanked them gratefully and was very happy.
+
+The moral of this story is that even if you are wealthy or poor, everyone should be kind to one another. Deciding to share is a very giving thing to do.
+Once upon a time there lived two princesses named Raina and Neela. They liked to spend their days looking at the beauty of the gardens. One day, they noticed a majestic and graceful peach tree. The sisters decided to pick a peach and share it. 
+
+But, when Raina grabbed the peach, it fell to the ground and began to roll away. She raced after the peach and eventually reached out to grab it. With a gentle and graceful motion, she released the peach from her hand and it gently came to a rest against a flower bush. 
+
+The sisters looked at each other and laughed, realizing that it is better to give away things with love, instead of hanging onto them too tightly. 
+
+They taught us an important lesson, which is to always release with love and grace. It is better to be generous and kind than to be selfish and clingy.
+Once upon a time there were two best friends, Tommy and Lucy. Tommy was a very curious three year-old who loved to explore the world around him. One day, Tommy and Lucy were talking about their favourite thing - racing! They were so excited that they decided to have a race. 
+
+Tommy and Lucy both lined up at the starting line. They were so eager to get going that they both began running right away! But Lucy was a faster runner than Tommy and he soon began to fall behind. 
+
+Confused and out of breath, Tommy cried out to Lucy in frustration, “Why are you so fast? I don’t understand!†Lucy laughed and shouted back, “Because I practice every day! You can be faster if you practice, tooâ€. 
+
+Tommy thought about these words and decided to give it a try. He started running every day and soon he was as fast as Lucy! From that day onward, Tommy and Lucy would race every day and have lots of fun together.
+Once upon a time there was a little boy, who wanted a helicopter more than anything. He asked everyone if he could have one, but everyone just laughed.
+
+One day, his mom said: "I have a surprise for you!" She took out something wrapped in paper. The little boy opened it and there was a rare helicopter!
+
+The little boy was so happy he couldn't wait to play with it. He ran outside and began spinning and looping the helicopter around. He was having so much fun.
+

+
+"Wow, it's really foggy out there," he said. He could just make out the boats out at sea, their sails barely visible in the darkness.
+
+His dad joined him, placing a strong arm around his shoulders.
+
+"It looks dangerous out there," he said, pointing to the fog, "That's why you should always stay close to the shoreline and never venture too far out at sea. This fog can be deceiving."

+Little Sandy nodded and sighed and the two of them went back home, where his Dad storied him a story and tucked him in bed. 
+
+The next day, the fog was even thicker, and the air seemed darker. Little Sandy's dad was pacing up and down the beach, wringing his hands with worry.

+
+Little Sandy felt his heart beat faster. Those were the same words his father had spoken the night before. The same warning. He had been right. The fog was dangerous indeed.

+"Let's see!" Ben said, throwing his clay shark into the pond. "Come on, fish, swim after it!"
+
+Lila did not want to lose her clay fish, so she threw it into the pond too. She and Ben ran to the edge of the pond and watched their clay animals sink into the water.
+
+"Hey, where are they?" Ben asked, looking around.
+
+"I don't know, maybe they are hiding under the water," Lila said, leaning over the pond.
+
+Suddenly, a big splash made them wet. They looked up and saw a real fish jumping out of the water. It had a clay fish in its mouth.
+
+"Hey, that's my fish!" Lila cried.
+
+"And that's my shark!" Ben said, pointing to another fish that had a clay shark in its mouth.
+
+The two fish swam away, leaving Lila and Ben with nothing but wet clothes and sad faces.
+
+They had been foolish to throw their clay animals into the pond. They had lost their toys and their fun. They wished they had kept their clay animals on the shore.
+Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play in the sand. One day, they saw a big whale in the water. They wanted to go near it and say hello.
+
+"Can we go, Mom?" they asked.
+
+Mom shook her head. "No, it is too far and too deep. You might get lost or hurt. Stay here with me."
+
+But Ben and Lily did not listen. They waited until Mom was busy with her book and ran to the water. They saw a boat and climbed on it. They thought they could spend some time with the whale.
+
+"Hello, whale!" they shouted. "We are Ben and Lily. We want to be your friends."
+
+The whale heard them and came closer. It looked at them with its big eyes and opened its mouth.
+
+"Wow, look at its teeth!" Ben said. "They are so big and shiny."
+
+Lily nodded. "Maybe it wants to show us something. Let's go inside."
+
+They jumped into the whale's mouth and disappeared. The whale closed its mouth and swam away.
+
+Mom looked up and saw the boat empty. She screamed and ran to the water. She saw the whale's tail and cried.
+
+"Ben! Lily! Where are you?" she shouted.
+
+But they did not answer. They were gone. The whale had eaten them.
+
+Mom was very sad and angry. She wished they had been honest and obeyed her. She wished they had stayed with her. She wished they had never seen the whale.
+Tom and Anna were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat, a scarf and a carrot nose. They wanted to give him eyes and a mouth, but they had no stones. They looked around and saw a big pile of coal near the house.
+
+"Let's use coal for his eyes and mouth!" Tom said.
+
+"OK!" Anna agreed.
+
+They ran to the pile of coal and picked up two pieces each. They ran back to the snowman and pressed the coal into the snow. The snowman looked funny with his black eyes and mouth.
+
+But then they heard a loud scream from the house. It was their mom.
+
+"Tom! Anna! What have you done? That coal was for the fire! Now we have no coal to keep us warm!" she shouted.
+
+Tom and Anna felt sad. They did not know that the coal was for the fire. They only wanted to make the snowman happy.
+
+"Sorry, mom!" they said.
+
+They ran to the snowman and took out the coal. They gave it back to their mom.
+
+"Please don't be mad, mom. We love you!" they said.
+
+Their mom sighed. She was not mad, but she was worried. She hugged them and said:
+
+"I love you too, but you have to be careful. Coal is not for playing. It is for burning. We need it to stay warm in the winter. Do you understand?"
+
+Tom and Anna nodded. They understood. They said sorry again and helped their mom carry the coal to the fire. They felt warm and cozy. They looked at the snowman and smiled. He still had his hat, his scarf and his carrot nose. He looked happy too.
+Anna and Ben are playing hide and seek in the house. Anna counts to ten and then says, "Ready or not, here I come!" She starts to search for Ben in every room. She looks under the bed, behind the sofa, in the closet, but she cannot find him.
+
+She hears a noise from the kitchen. She runs there and sees the fridge door open. She thinks Ben is hiding inside. She says, "I found you, Ben!" and opens the fridge. But it is empty. There is no Ben, only food. She wonders where he is.
+
+She hears another noise from the bathroom. She runs there and sees the shower curtain closed. She thinks Ben is hiding behind it. She says, "I found you, Ben!" and pulls the curtain. But it is empty. There is no Ben, only water. She wonders where he is.
+
+She hears a giggle from the living room. She runs there and sees a big box. She thinks Ben is hiding inside. She says, "I found you, Ben!" and opens the box. But it is not empty. There is Ben, smiling and laughing. He says, "You found me, Anna! You are good at searching!"
+
+Anna is happy and hugs Ben. They decide to switch roles and play again. Ben counts to ten and Anna hides. She hopes he will not find her too soon. She likes playing hide and seek with Ben. It is fun.
+Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play with their toy soldiers. They had a big box of soldiers in different colors and shapes. They pretended they were having a war and made loud noises with their mouths.
+
+One day, their grandma came to visit. She was elderly and had white hair and glasses. She smiled and hugged them, but she looked sad. She said, "I have something to tell you, my dears. Do you know what a real war is?"
+
+Ben and Lily shook their heads. They only knew the war they played with their toys. Grandma said, "A real war is when people fight and hurt each other with guns and bombs. It is very scary and bad. I was in a war when I was young, and I lost many friends and family. That is why I have this medal on my chest. It is a reminder of the war and the people I loved."
+
+Ben and Lily stared at the medal. It was shiny and had a ribbon. They asked, "Can we touch it, Grandma?" Grandma nodded and let them hold the medal. It felt heavy and cold. They asked, "What does it say, Grandma?"
+
+Grandma said, "It says, 'For courage and service'. It means I was brave and helped others in the war. But I wish I never had to go to war. War is terrible and sad. I hope you never have to see a war, my dears. I hope you always play and laugh and love."
+
+Ben and Lily hugged Grandma and said, "We love you, Grandma. We don't want to see a war either. We only want to play with our toys. Can we play with you, Grandma?"
+
+Grandma smiled and said, "Of course, my dears. Let's play together. But can we play something else than war? How about we play a game of repeat? I say a word and you repeat it after me. OK?"
+
+Ben and Lily nodded and said, "OK, Grandma. Let's play repeat." They put away their toy soldiers and sat on the floor with Grandma. Grandma said, "I'll start. The word is 'peace'."
+
+Ben and Lily repeated, "Peace."
+Tom was a shy boy who liked to draw and read. He did not like to talk to people he did not know. One day, his mom told him that they had to deliver some cookies to their new neighbors. Tom felt scared. He did not want to go to their door and say hello.
+
+"Come on, Tom, it will be nice to meet them. Maybe they have a child your age who likes to draw and read too," his mom said.
+
+"But what if they don't like me? What if they are mean or loud?" Tom asked.
+
+"You won't know until you try. And they won't know how kind and smart you are until you show them. Besides, everyone likes cookies, right?" his mom said.
+
+Tom nodded. He liked cookies. Maybe the new neighbors would too. He took the plate of cookies from his mom and followed her to the next house. He saw a blue door with a yellow star on it. He felt his heart beat faster.
+
+His mom knocked on the door. Tom hid behind her. He heard a voice say, "Who is it?"
+
+"Hello, we are your new neighbors. We live in the house next to yours. We brought you some cookies to welcome you," his mom said.
+
+The door opened. Tom saw a girl with brown hair and green eyes. She looked about his age. She smiled and said, "Thank you! That's very nice of you. I'm Anna. Do you want to come in?"
+
+Tom peeked from behind his mom. He saw a lot of books and toys in the living room. He saw a drawing of a dragon on the wall. He felt curious.
+
+"Hi, Anna. I'm Tom. I like to draw and read too," he said.
+
+"Really? Do you want to see my books and drawings? Maybe we can draw together," Anna said.
+
+Tom felt a warm feeling in his chest. He nodded. He took a step forward. He gave Anna the plate of cookies. He said, "Here, these are for you. They are chocolate chip. My favorite."
+
+"Thank you, Tom. They look delicious. Chocolate chip is my favorite too," Anna said.
+
+They smiled at each other. They went inside. They became friends. Tom was not shy anymore. He was happy.
+Sam and Mia like to build with blocks. They have many blocks of different colors and shapes. They can make houses, cars, towers and more. They have fun playing together.
+
+One day, it is very cold outside. Sam and Mia want to go out and play in the snow. They put on their jackets, hats, gloves and boots. They say bye to their mom and go out the door.
+
+But when they get to the yard, they see a big problem. Their blocks are gone. Someone took them away. Sam and Mia are sad and angry. Who did this? They look around and see a dark shadow behind the fence. They hear a laugh.
+
+They run to the fence and see a boy. He has their blocks. He is building a big snowman with them. He is not nice. He says, "These are my blocks now. Go away."
+
+Sam and Mia are brave. They say, "No, these are our blocks. You give them back. You are mean."
+
+They try to get their blocks, but the boy pushes them away. He throws snowballs at them. He makes them fall. He laughs more.
+
+Sam and Mia are hurt and cold. They cry for help. They want their mom. They want their blocks. They want to go home.
+Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with cars and trucks. One day, they find a big map in the park. The map has many colors and pictures. It shows a road to a treasure.
+
+"Wow, look at this map!" Tom says. "Maybe we can find the treasure."
+
+"Let's go!" Sam says. "We can use our cars and trucks."
+
+They put the map in Tom's truck and start to follow the road. They see a bridge, a hill, a lake and a forest. They have fun driving and looking at the map.
+
+But then, they see a sign. The sign says: "This map is cheap. It is not real. There is no treasure. Go back."
+
+Tom and Sam are sad. They feel tricked. They stop their cars and trucks.
+
+"Who made this map?" Tom asks. "Why did they lie to us?"
+
+"I don't know," Sam says. "Maybe they wanted to make us work hard for nothing."
+
+"That's not nice," Tom says. "We should throw this map away."
+
+They take the map out of the truck and tear it into pieces. They throw the pieces in the trash. Then they hug each other.
+
+"It's OK," Sam says. "We still have our cars and trucks. And we still have each other."
+
+"Yes," Tom says. "We are still friends. And we can make our own map. A real map. A map of fun."
+
+They smile and drive away. They forget about the cheap map. They make their own map of fun.
+Jill and Tom were playing pretend in the living room. They had a big cardboard box that they turned into a house. They had a blanket that they used as a roof. They had some cups and spoons that they used as dishes. They were having fun.
+
+"Let's make some cocoa," Jill said. "I'm cold."
+
+"Okay," Tom said. "I'll be the cook. You be the guest."
+
+Tom went to the kitchen and filled a cup with water. He put it in the microwave and pressed some buttons. He didn't know how long to heat it. He just guessed.
+
+He brought the cup back to the living room. He put some powder in it and stirred it. He gave it to Jill.
+
+"Here you go," he said. "Hot cocoa for you."
+
+Jill took a sip. She screamed. The cocoa was too hot. It burned her tongue and her lips. She dropped the cup. The cocoa spilled on the carpet. It made a big brown stain.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Jill cried. "You hurt me! You made bad cocoa!"
+
+She ran to her mom, who was in the other room. She showed her the burn and the stain.
+
+"Mommy, mommy, Tom did this!" she sobbed.
+
+Mom came to the living room. She saw the mess. She was angry.
+
+"Tom, what did you do?" she asked. "You know you're not supposed to use the microwave. You could have started a fire. And look at the carpet. It's ruined."
+
+She took Tom by the hand and led him to his room. She told him he was in big trouble. He had to stay there until dinner. He couldn't play with Jill anymore.
+
+Tom felt sad and sorry. He wished he had made good cocoa. He wished he had played nice. He wished he had a real house.
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play in the farm. They had many animals to see and feed, but their favorite was the chicken. The chicken was white and fluffy and made funny noises. Sometimes, the chicken would lay eggs and the twins would collect them for breakfast.
+
+One day, the twins decided to play a game with the chicken. They wanted to see if the chicken could remember where they hid the eggs. They took four eggs from the coop and ran around the farm, looking for good hiding spots. They put one egg under a bucket, one egg behind a fence, one egg in a basket and one egg in a boot.
+
+"Let's go and get the chicken!" Tom said. "We will show her the eggs and then hide them again. She has to find them all!"
+
+"Okay!" Lily agreed. "But we have to be quick. Mom will call us for lunch soon."
+
+They ran back to the coop and picked up the chicken. The chicken was nosy and curious. She looked at the twins with her bright eyes and clucked. The twins showed her the eggs and then ran away, hiding them again in the same spots. They came back to the chicken and said, "Now, find the eggs, chicken! Where are they?"
+
+The chicken started to follow the twins, looking for the eggs. She found the first egg under the bucket and pecked at it. She found the second egg behind the fence and nudged it with her beak. She found the third egg in the basket and rolled it with her foot. But she could not find the fourth egg in the boot. She looked everywhere, but she could not see it.
+
+"Where is the last egg, chicken?" Tom asked. "Did you forget?"
+
+The chicken shook her head and clucked. She was confused and sad. She wanted to find the last egg and complete the game. She did not like to forget.
+
+But then, they heard Mom calling them from the house. "Tom! Lily! Lunch is ready! Come and wash your hands!"
+
+The twins dropped the chicken and ran to the house. They were hungry and excited. They forgot about the last egg in the boot.
+
+The chicken was left alone in the farm. She still wanted to find the last egg. She searched and searched, but she could not find it. She did not know that the boot was hiding it. She did not know that the boot belonged to Dad, who was working in the barn. She did not know that Dad would soon come back and put on his boot. She did not know that the egg would crack and make a mess.
+
+The chicken was in for a big surprise.
+Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play with toys in the living room. But sometimes they make a big mess. Their mom is not happy when she sees the mess.
+
+"Tom and Lily, you need to clean up your toys," mom says. "It is time for dinner soon."
+
+Tom and Lily do not want to clean up. They want to play more. They say, "No, mom, we are not done yet."
+
+Mom is not happy. She says, "If you do not clean up, you will not get any dessert. And you will have to go to bed early."
+
+Tom and Lily do not like that. They love dessert. And they do not want to go to bed early. They say, "Sorry, mom, we will clean up now."
+
+Tom and Lily start to put their toys in the box. They work together. They help each other. They say, "Thank you" and "You are welcome" to each other. They finish cleaning up quickly.
+
+Mom is happy. She says, "Good job, Tom and Lily. You are very good friends. And you are very good persons. Now you can have some dessert. And you can stay up a little longer."
+
+Tom and Lily are happy. They hug mom. They say, "Thank you, mom. We love you."
+
+Mom hugs them back. She says, "I love you too. You make me happy."
+
+They go to the kitchen. They eat some cake. They talk and laugh. They feel peaceful. They are a happy family.
+Sara and Ben were playing in the living room. They saw a telephone on the table. It was big and shiny and had many buttons. Sara wanted to play with it. She said to Ben, "Let me have the telephone. I want to talk to grandma."
+
+Ben said, "No, it is mine. I saw it first. You can play with something else." He held the telephone tightly and did not share.
+
+Sara was angry. She tried to grab the telephone from Ben. They both pulled and pulled. The telephone made a loud noise. It was ringing. Someone was calling.
+
+They stopped pulling and looked at the telephone. They heard a voice. It was mom. She said, "Hello, Sara and Ben. Are you being good? I will be home soon. I love you."
+
+Sara and Ben felt sorry. They had been bad. They had fought over the telephone. They had not listened to mom. They said, "Sorry, mom. We love you too. We will be good."
+
+Mom said, "That's good. I am glad you are sorry. Sharing is caring. You can both play with the telephone, but be gentle. Don't push the buttons too much. They might break. And don't talk too long. The telephone is for important calls."
+
+Sara and Ben said, "Okay, mom. We will share and be gentle. We will only talk for a little bit. Bye, mom."
+
+They hung up the telephone. They smiled at each other. They said, "Do you want to play with the telephone?" They took turns talking to grandma and other people. They had fun. They were happy. They learned to share and be kind. They felt comfortable and loved.
+Anna liked to draw with crayons. She had many colors and made pictures of her family, her dog, and her toys. She drew on paper, on cardboard, and sometimes on the wall. Her mom did not like when she drew on the wall. She said it was bad and hard to clean.
+
+One day, Anna found a new crayon. It was white and shiny and looked like ice. She wanted to try it and see what it could do. She took it to the wall and started to draw a snowman. She made a big circle, a smaller circle, and a tiny circle. She gave him a hat, a scarf, and a carrot nose.
+
+But the crayon was not a crayon. It was a glue stick. It was cold and sticky and made the wall wet. Anna did not know that. She thought it was a magic crayon that made snow. She was happy and kept drawing.
+
+Her mom saw what she was doing and ran to her. She was angry and scared. She yelled at Anna and took the glue stick from her hand. She warned her to never use it again. She said it was not a crayon and it could hurt her and the wall. She said she had to clean it right away or it would dry and make a mess.
+
+Anna was sad and sorry. She did not mean to be bad. She did not know it was glue. She wanted to make a snowman for her mom. She cried and hugged her mom. Her mom hugged her back and said she loved her. She said she was not mad at her, but at the glue. She said she would help her clean the wall and then they could draw together with real crayons. Anna smiled and said okay. She learned her lesson and never used the glue stick again.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the backyard. They liked to pretend they were pirates and look for treasure. They had a big box that they used as a ship and some toys that they used as swords and jewels.
+
+"Look, Ben, I found a shiny iron!" Lily said, holding up a metal spoon. "This is a very good treasure. We can send it to the king and he will give us a lot of gold."
+
+"Wow, Lily, that is a great iron!" Ben said, admiring the spoon. "But how will we send it to the king? We don't have a boat or a bird or a mailman."
+
+Lily thought for a moment. Then she had an idea. "We can use our box as a boat and put the iron inside. Then we can push it down the hill and it will go to the river. The river will take it to the sea and the sea will take it to the king."
+
+"That sounds like a good plan, Lily. Let's do it!" Ben said, excited. They put the spoon in the box and closed the lid. Then they pushed the box down the hill and watched it roll.
+
+But they did not see the big dog that was sleeping under a tree. The dog heard the noise and woke up. He saw the box rolling towards him and thought it was a toy. He jumped up and ran after the box, barking loudly.
+
+Lily and Ben saw the dog and got scared. They thought the dog wanted to take their treasure and bite them. They dropped their toys and ran back to the house, screaming for their mom.
+
+"Mom, mom, help! There is a scary dog chasing our box!" they cried.
+
+Mom came out and saw the dog. She knew the dog was not mean, but just playful. She called the dog by his name and gave him a treat. The dog wagged his tail and licked her hand. He forgot about the box.
+
+Mom picked up the box and opened it. She saw the spoon and smiled. She gave it back to Lily and Ben and hugged them.
+
+"Don't worry, kids, the dog was not scary. He was just curious. He did not want to hurt you or your treasure. He just wanted to play. Next time, be careful when you play outside and don't go near the river. It can be dangerous."
+
+Lily and Ben nodded and said sorry. They thanked mom and gave her a kiss. They decided to keep the iron as a souvenir and not send it to the king. They learned a lesson and had a new friend.
+Lily and Ben like to play in the kitchen. They pretend to bake cakes and pies with pots and pans. They use flour, sugar, water and eggs. They make a big mess, but they have fun.
+
+One day, they find a new toy in the kitchen. It is long and shiny and has a pointy end. It looks like a rocket. Lily and Ben think it is a missile. They want to play with it.
+
+"Let's bake the missile in the oven!" Lily says. "Maybe it will fly to the moon!"
+
+"OK!" Ben says. "But we have to be careful. It might be hot."
+
+They put the missile in the oven and turn it on. They wait and watch. They do not know that the missile is real. It is a dangerous thing that Daddy brought home from work.
+
+Soon, the oven makes a loud noise. Smoke comes out. The missile starts to glow red. Lily and Ben are scared. They run out of the kitchen.
+
+"Mama! Mama!" they cry. "The missile is going to explode!"
+
+Mama hears them and runs to the kitchen. She sees the missile in the oven. She is very angry and scared. She turns off the oven and takes out the missile. She puts it in a safe place.
+
+She hugs Lily and Ben and tells them to never touch the missile again. She says it is not a toy. It is a bad thing that can hurt people.
+
+Lily and Ben are sorry. They say they are sorry. They promise to never play with the missile again. They only want to play with their pots and pans. They like to bake cakes and pies. They do not like to bake missiles.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, they find a big red ball in the park. They both want to play with it.
+
+"Can I have the ball?" Lily asks.
+
+"No, it is mine!" Ben says.
+
+They pull the ball from each other. They are not happy. They are angry.
+
+A lady sees them. She has a kind smile. She walks to them.
+
+"Hello, children. Why are you fighting?" she asks.
+
+"We both want the ball!" Lily and Ben say.
+
+The lady nods. She says, "I understand. But do you know what is better than having the ball? Sharing the ball. Sharing means you let someone else use something you have. Then you can take turns and have fun together. Sharing is kind and good. Do you want to try?"
+
+Lily and Ben think. They look at the ball. They look at each other. They nod.
+
+"Okay, we will share the ball," they say.
+
+They give the ball to the lady. She smiles. She says, "Good. Now, how about a hug? A hug is a way to show you are friends. You can hug with your arms and touch your lips. Your lips are the soft part of your mouth. A hug is warm and nice. Do you want to try?"
+
+Lily and Ben think. They look at the lady. They look at each other. They nod.
+
+"Okay, we will hug," they say.
+
+They hug each other. They touch their lips. They feel happy. They are not angry.
+
+The lady claps. She says, "Well done, children. You are very sweet. Now you can play with the ball together. Have a peaceful time. Peaceful means quiet and calm. No fighting, no shouting, no crying. Just playing and laughing and enjoying. Do you want to try?"
+
+Lily and Ben think. They look at the ball. They look at the lady. They look at each other. They nod.
+
+"Okay, we will have a peaceful time," they say.
+
+They take the ball from the lady. They say, "Thank you, lady. You are very nice."
+
+The lady says, "You are welcome, children. You are very smart. Have fun."
+
+She waves and walks away. Lily and Ben wave back. They play with the ball together. They share and hug and have a peaceful time. They are friends. They are happy.
+Tom and Mia were friends who liked to play music. Tom had a drum and Mia had a flute. They made a band and played songs for their toys and their parents. They had a lot of fun and dreamed of being famous and wealthy.
+
+One day, they decided to play outside in the park. They found a nice spot under a big tree and set up their instruments. They started to play a happy tune, but soon Tom felt a tickle in his nose. He tried to ignore it, but it got worse and worse. He could not hold it any longer and he sneezed very loudly.
+
+"ACHOO!"
+
+Mia stopped playing and looked at Tom. She saw that he had a red nose and watery eyes. She felt sorry for him and asked, "Are you okay, Tom? Do you have a cold?"
+
+Tom nodded and sniffed. He said, "I think so. I don't feel very good. Maybe we should go home and rest."
+
+Mia agreed and helped Tom pack up their instruments. She said, "Don't worry, Tom. We can play again when you feel better. Maybe we can even play for some people and earn some money. Then we can buy more instruments and be a bigger band."
+
+Tom smiled and said, "That sounds nice, Mia. Thank you for being my friend and my bandmate. You are very kind and talented."
+
+They hugged and walked home, holding hands. They hoped that Tom would get well soon and that their band would make them happy and wealthy.
+Tim and Mia were playing in the park. They saw a big slide and wanted to go on it. Tim ran to the slide and climbed up the ladder. Mia followed him, but she was scared of the height.
+
+"Come on, Mia, it's fun!" Tim said.
+
+"I don't know, Tim, it's too high!" Mia said.
+
+"You can do it, Mia, just try!" Tim said.
+
+Mia looked at the slide and tried to be brave. She sat down and pushed herself forward. But she went too fast and screamed. She slid down and bumped into a boy who was waiting at the bottom. The boy fell down and started to cry.
+
+Mia felt very embarrassed. She said sorry to the boy and ran to Tim. Tim hugged her and said it was okay.
+
+"Are you hurt, Mia?" Tim asked.
+
+"No, Tim, I'm fine. But I don't like the slide. It's too scary!" Mia said.
+
+"That's okay, Mia. We can play something else. How about the swings?" Tim said.
+
+"Okay, Tim, I like the swings. They are not scary. They are fun!" Mia said.
+
+Tim and Mia went to the swings and had a good time. They forgot about the slide and the boy. They were happy to play together.
+Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with cars and balls. One day, they see a big bag of rice in the kitchen. The bag is open and the rice is white and shiny.
+
+"Look, rice!" Tom says. "Let's play with it!"
+
+Sam nods. He likes rice. He takes some rice in his hand and throws it in the air. The rice falls like snow. Tom laughs and does the same. They have fun with the rice.
+
+But Mom is not happy. She comes into the kitchen and sees the mess. She sees rice on the floor, on the table, on the chairs, on the walls. She sees Tom and Sam with rice in their hair and clothes.
+
+"What are you doing?" Mom yells. "You are wasting food! You are making a big mess! You are naughty boys!"
+
+Tom and Sam are scared. They stop playing. They look at Mom. They look at the rice. They feel bad.
+
+"Sorry, Mom," Tom says.
+
+"Sorry, Mom," Sam says.
+
+But Mom is still angry. She takes the bag of rice and puts it away. She tells Tom and Sam to clean up the mess. She tells them they cannot play together anymore. She tells them they have to go to their rooms.
+
+Tom and Sam are sad. They cry. They say goodbye to each other. They go to their rooms. They have no more fun with the rice. They have no more fun with their friend. They have a bad day.
+Lily and Ben were playing hide and seek in the living room. Lily was the seeker and Ben was the hider. Ben ran around the room, looking for a good spot to hide. He saw a big curtain that covered the window. He thought it was a perfect place to hide behind. He pulled the curtain and crawled behind it.
+
+Lily counted to ten and then opened her eyes. She said, "Ready or not, here I come!" She looked around the room, trying to find Ben. She saw the sofa, the table, the lamp, but no Ben. She wondered where he was. She walked around the room, saying, "Ben, where are you? I can't find you!"
+
+Ben heard Lily's voice and giggled. He thought he was very clever and that Lily would never find him. He stayed very quiet and still behind the curtain. He did not see that the curtain was moving a little bit because of the wind.
+
+Lily saw the curtain move and got curious. She thought maybe Ben was hiding behind it. She walked towards the curtain and pulled it. She saw Ben's face and shouted, "I found you! I found you!"
+
+Ben was very surprised and scared. He did not expect Lily to find him so soon. He panicked and screamed, "Aaaah!" He tried to run away, but he got tangled in the curtain. He fell down on the floor, with the curtain on top of him.
+
+Lily saw Ben fall and got worried. She thought he was hurt. She ran to him and lifted the curtain. She saw Ben's face and asked, "Are you okay, Ben? Did you hurt yourself?"
+
+Ben saw Lily's face and felt silly. He realized he was not hurt, just scared. He smiled and said, "I'm okay, Lily. I was just scared. You scared me!"
+
+Lily smiled and said, "I'm sorry, Ben. I did not mean to scare you. I was just happy to find you. You are a good hider!"
+
+Ben and Lily hugged and laughed. They were jolly and happy. They decided to play another game. They put the curtain back on the window and ran to the kitchen. They had fun playing hide and seek.
+Lily liked to write. She wrote on paper, on walls, on books, on anything she could find. She used pens, pencils, crayons, markers, and sometimes even paint. She wrote her name, her family's names, her friends' names, and words she learned at school. She wrote big and small, neat and messy, straight and curved. She wrote because it made her happy.
+
+But not everyone liked Lily's writing. Her mom and dad got angry when they saw her writing on the walls. They said it was bad and naughty. They said she had to use paper only. They said she had to clean up her mess. They said she was in trouble. Lily did not like to be in trouble. She did not like to clean up. She did not like to use paper only. She wanted to write wherever she wanted.
+
+One day, Lily found a new place to write. It was a big, white, flexible thing. It was soft and smooth. It was in the living room, next to the couch. It was a lampshade. Lily thought it was perfect. She grabbed a marker and started to write on it. She wrote her name in red. She wrote her mom's name in blue. She wrote her dad's name in green. She wrote her dog's name in yellow. She wrote and wrote and wrote. She was very happy.
+
+But then, her mom came into the living room. She saw Lily and the lampshade. She saw the writing. She saw the marker. She was very angry. She yelled at Lily. She said, "Lily, what have you done? You have ruined the lampshade! You have made a big mess! You are in big trouble, young lady!" She took the marker from Lily's hand. She turned off the lamp. She dragged Lily to her room. She said, "You are going to stay here until you learn your lesson. No more writing for you!"
+
+Lily was very sad. She cried in her room. She wished she could write. She wished her mom was not angry. She wished she had not written on the lampshade. She did not know it was bad. She did not know it was not flexible. She did not know it would break. She did not know it would make the lamp go dark. She did not know it would make her mom go mad. She did not know writing could cause so much trouble.
+Ben likes to play with his toy cars. He has many cars of different colors and shapes. He likes to make them zoom and crash on the floor. Sometimes he pretends to be a mechanic and fixes his cars with his tools.
+
+One day, Ben's mom tells him that they are going to visit his grandma for his birthday. Ben is happy because he loves his grandma. She always gives him hugs and cookies. Ben wants to give her a present too. He thinks hard and decides to give her his favorite car. It is red and shiny and has a big engine.
+
+Ben goes to his room and finds a piece of paper and some tape. He tries to wrap his car with the paper, but it is hard. The paper is too big and the car is too small. He tears the paper and makes a mess. He feels sad and frustrated. He does not know how to wrap his car.
+
+He hears a knock on the door. It is his dad. He is a mechanic and works at a garage. He sees Ben's car and his paper. He smiles and says, "Do you need some help, buddy?"
+
+Ben nods and says, "Yes, please. I want to wrap my car for grandma, but I can't do it."
+
+Dad says, "Don't worry, I can show you how. Wrapping is like fixing, you just need the right tools and some patience. Here, let me cut the paper for you. Then we can fold it and tape it around the car. See, like this."
+
+Ben watches his dad and learns how to wrap his car. He is proud and happy. He says, "Thank you, dad. You are the best mechanic ever."
+
+Dad says, "You're welcome, son. You are a good mechanic too. And a good grandson. I'm sure grandma will love your car."
+
+Ben hugs his dad and says, "I love you, dad."
+
+Dad says, "I love you too, Ben."
+Lily and Ben were hungry. They wanted a treat. They asked Mom if they could go to the shop and buy a treat.
+
+Mom said, "Yes, you can go to the shop and buy a treat. But you have to be good and hold my hand. And you have to share your treat with each other. OK?"
+
+Lily and Ben said, "OK, Mom. We will be good and hold your hand. And we will share our treat."
+
+They went to the shop with Mom. They saw many treats. They saw cookies, candy, ice cream, and cake. They had to choose one treat.
+
+Lily said, "I want ice cream. Ice cream is cold and sweet."
+
+Ben said, "I want cake. Cake is soft and yummy."
+
+Mom said, "You can have ice cream or cake. But you have to share. Lily, you can have a scoop of ice cream and a slice of cake. Ben, you can have a slice of cake and a scoop of ice cream. How does that sound?"
+
+Lily and Ben said, "That sounds good, Mom. Thank you, Mom."
+
+Mom bought the ice cream and the cake. She gave Lily and Ben their treat. They ate their treat. They were happy. They shared their treat. They said, "This is a good treat. We like ice cream and cake."
+
+Mom said, "I'm glad you like your treat. You are good children. I love you."
+
+Lily and Ben said, "We love you too, Mom."
+Tim and Sue were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big pine tree with many cones. Tim had an idea.
+
+"Let's test how far we can throw the cones!" he said.
+
+"OK!" Sue agreed. They picked up some cones and threw them as hard as they could. They laughed and cheered when they saw the cones fly in the air.
+
+But then, they heard a loud scream. They turned around and saw a man holding his head. He was angry and in pain. He had a cone stuck in his hair.
+
+"Who did this? Who threw this cone at me?" he shouted.
+
+Tim and Sue were scared and embarrassed. They knew they had done something bad. They tried to hide behind the tree, but the man saw them.
+
+"You two! Come here right now!" he ordered.
+
+Tim and Sue walked slowly to the man. They felt sorry and ashamed. They wished they had not tested the cones.
+
+The man was very mad. He scolded them and told them to go home. He said he would tell their parents what they had done. He said they were naughty and rude.
+
+Tim and Sue cried and ran away. They had lost their fun and their friend. They had learned a hard lesson. They never tested the cones again.
+Ben and Sam were brothers. They liked to play outside in the park. One day, it was very cold and windy. Ben wore a warm jacket, but Sam did not. He said he was not cold and jackets were for babies.
+
+They ran and jumped and slid on the grass. But soon, Sam felt very cold. His teeth chattered and his nose was red. He wished he had a jacket like Ben. He was too proud to ask for one.
+
+Ben saw that Sam was cold. He felt sorry for him. He took off his jacket and gave it to Sam. He said, "Here, you can have my jacket. I don't need it. I am very warm."
+
+Sam was surprised and happy. He put on the jacket and felt much better. He said, "Thank you, Ben. You are very kind. I was wrong to say jackets were for babies. They are for keeping warm."
+
+Ben smiled and hugged Sam. He said, "You're welcome, Sam. I love you, brother. We can share everything. That's what brothers do."
+
+They played some more, but not too long. They did not want to get sick. They went home and told their mom what happened. She was proud of them. She said, "You are very good boys. You learned a lesson today. Jackets are not for babies. They are for comfort. And comfort is not crazy. It is smart."
+Lily liked to imagine things. She imagined she was a princess, a fairy, a doctor, or a teacher. She imagined she had a big castle, a magic wand, a stethoscope, or a chalkboard. She imagined she went on adventures, met new friends, helped people, or taught animals.
+
+One day, she imagined she was a sailor. She had a boat, a hat, and a map. She sailed on the sea, looking for a new land. She saw fish, birds, and clouds. She sang a song, "I am a sailor, I sail on the sea, I look for a land, that is new to me."
+
+She imagined she found a land. It was green and beautiful. It had flowers, trees, and animals. It was calm and peaceful. She went to the shore, and saw a boy. He smiled and waved. He said, "Hello, I am Ben. I live in this land. Do you want to play with me?"
+
+Lily smiled and nodded. She said, "Hello, I am Lily. I came from the sea. I want to play with you." She imagined they played together. They ran, jumped, and laughed. They picked flowers, climbed trees, and fed animals. They had fun and became friends.
+
+Lily liked to imagine things. She imagined she was a sailor, and she found a new land. She imagined she met a friend, and they played together. She was happy and glad. She said, "Thank you, Ben, for playing with me. This is a wonderful land. I like it very much."
+
+Ben said, "Thank you, Lily, for coming to me. This is a wonderful land. I like it too. You are welcome to come back anytime. I will wait for you."
+
+Lily said, "Goodbye, Ben, I will come back soon. I will sail on the sea, and look for you." She imagined she went back to her boat, and sailed away. She waved to Ben, and he waved to her. She sang a song, "I am a sailor, I sail on the sea, I found a land, that is new to me."
+Ben and Lily were playing in the garden. They had a lot of fun with their toys and their dog. They ran, jumped, laughed and barked. They were very happy.
+
+But soon, the sun started to go down. The sky became pink and purple. The air became cool. Ben and Lily felt tired. They yawned and rubbed their eyes.
+
+"Let's go inside, Ben," Lily said. "It's getting dark and cold."
+
+"OK, Lily," Ben said. "But can we have a story first?"
+
+"Of course," Lily said. "Mommy will read us a story. Come on, doggy, let's go."
+
+They went inside the house. Mommy was waiting for them. She smiled and hugged them. She gave them some milk and cookies. She took them to their bedroom. She tucked them in their beds.
+
+"What story do you want, Ben and Lily?" Mommy asked.
+
+"A story about the wood, Mommy," Ben said. "A story about the animals and the trees and the flowers."
+
+"OK, Ben," Mommy said. "I have a good story for you. Listen carefully."
+
+Mommy opened a book. She began to read. Ben and Lily listened. They saw the pictures. They imagined the wood. They saw the birds, the squirrels, the rabbits, the foxes, the bears and the deer. They heard the sounds. They smelled the scents. They felt the breeze.
+
+They smiled and cuddled. They closed their eyes. They fell asleep. They dreamed of the wood.
+Anna was an adventurous girl. She liked to explore new places and try new things. She had a yellow bike that she rode every day. She loved her bike very much.
+
+One day, Anna saw a big hill near her house. She wanted to ride her bike down the hill. She thought it would be fun and exciting. She asked her mom if she could go.
+
+Her mom said no. She said the hill was too steep and dangerous. She said Anna could get hurt or break her bike. She said Anna should play somewhere else.
+
+But Anna did not listen. She refused to do what her mom said. She waited until her mom was busy and then she sneaked out with her bike. She went to the hill and started to pedal fast.
+
+She felt the wind in her hair and the sun on her face. She felt happy and brave. She did not see the big rock in her way. She did not hear her mom calling her name. She did not feel her bike wobble and skid.
+
+She only felt a sharp pain when she fell off her bike and scraped her knee. She cried and cried. Her mom came running and hugged her. She said she was sorry and that she loved her. She said Anna should always listen to her and be careful.
+
+Anna said she was sorry too. She said she learned her lesson. She said she loved her mom and her bike. She said she would be more obedient and less adventurous. At least for a while.
+Lily and Tom were playing with crayons. They liked to draw on paper, but sometimes they also drew on the wall. They knew it was bad, but it was fun.
+
+"Look, I made a big sun!" Lily said, showing Tom her yellow crayon.
+
+"Wow, that's nice! I made a blue fish!" Tom said, pointing to his wall mark.
+
+They heard Mom coming. They hid the crayons under the bed and ran to the door.
+
+"Hi, Mom!" they said, smiling.
+
+"Hi, kids. What have you been doing?" Mom asked, looking around.
+
+"Nothing, Mom. Just playing," Lily said.
+
+Mom saw the marks on the wall. She was not happy.
+
+"Who did this?" she asked, pointing to the sun and the fish.
+
+Lily and Tom looked at each other. They did not want to lie, but they also did not want to get in trouble.
+
+"It was... it was..." Lily started.
+
+"It was me, Mom. I'm sorry," Tom said, bravely.
+
+Mom sighed. She was not very angry, but she wanted them to learn.
+
+"Tom, thank you for telling the truth. But you know you should not mark the wall. It is not nice. You have to clean it up," she said.
+
+"Yes, Mom. I'm sorry," Tom said.
+
+Mom gave him a sponge and a bucket of warm water. She helped him to reach the sink and fill the bucket.
+
+"Here you go. Now, go and wash the wall. And Lily, you can help him too. You are a team," she said.
+
+Lily and Tom nodded. They took the sponge and the bucket and went to the wall. They dipped the sponge in the warm water and rubbed the marks. They worked hard and soon the wall was clean.

+
+One day, Lily and her mom go to a big park where many people are doing yoga together. Lily sees a lot of different people and animals. She sees a man with a long beard, a woman with a colorful scarf, a boy with a wheelchair, a girl with a dog, and a bird with a broken wing.
+
+Lily and her mom join the yoga group and start to stretch. Stretching is when you make your body longer and wider. Lily stretches her arms up to the sky, her legs out to the sides, and her back down to the ground. She feels happy and strong.
+
+Lily looks around and sees the boy with the wheelchair. He is stretching his arms and smiling. Lily wants to be his friend. She rolls over to him and says hello. The boy says hello back and tells her his name is Sam. Lily and Sam start to talk and laugh.

+
+One day, Tom and Mia decide to play with the dinosaur in the garden. They take the dinosaur outside and put it on the grass. They pretend that the dinosaur is their friend and they go on adventures with it. They climb on its back and ride it around the garden. They roar like the dinosaur and make funny noises.
+
+"Look, I am a dinosaur too!" Tom says to Mia. He puts his hands on his head like horns and stomps his feet.
+
+"Me too, me too!" Mia says. She puts her arms on her sides like wings and flaps them.
+

+
+Tom and Mia do not want to leave the dinosaur. They want to play more. But they know they have to listen to their mom. They say goodbye to the dinosaur and promise to come back later.
+
+"Can we take the dinosaur inside?" Tom asks his mom.
+
+"No, sweetie, the dinosaur is too big. It has to stay outside. But you can sit with it after lunch, okay?" Mom says.
+
+"Okay, mom," Tom says. He looks at the dinosaur and smiles.
+
+"Bye, dinosaur. See you soon," Mia says. She waves at the dinosaur and follows Tom and Mom inside.
+
+The dinosaur is happy. It likes Tom and Mia. It waits for them to come back and play. It sits on the grass and looks at the sky. It is a good dinosaur.
+Lily was busy playing with her dolls in her room. She liked to make them talk and have tea parties. She did not like to go to bed when it was dark. She was afraid of the monster under her bed.
+
+She heard her mom call her name. "Lily, it's time for bed. Come brush your teeth and put on your pajamas."
+
+Lily did not want to go. She said, "No, mom. I'm busy. I don't want to sleep. The monster will get me."
+
+Her mom came to her room and smiled. She said, "Lily, there is no monster under your bed. It's just your imagination. You have to sleep so you can grow and be healthy. I'll read you a story and tuck you in. Then you'll feel safe and cozy."
+
+Lily still did not believe her mom. She said, "But mom, I saw the monster. It has big teeth and claws and red eyes. It growls and snarls and waits for me to sleep. It's scary."
+
+Her mom hugged her and said, "Lily, I love you. I'll never let anything hurt you. The monster is not real. It's just a shadow or a noise or a dream. You can be brave and face your fear. You can say, 'Go away, monster. You're not welcome here.' And the monster will go away. Do you want to try?"
+
+Lily nodded and followed her mom to the bed. She looked under the bed and saw nothing. She said, "Go away, monster. You're not welcome here." She felt a little better. Her mom read her a story about a princess who fought a dragon and won. She kissed her goodnight and turned off the light.
+
+Lily closed her eyes and tried to sleep. She heard a growl and opened her eyes. She saw the monster peeking from under the bed. It had big teeth and claws and red eyes. It said, "Hello, Lily. I'm here to eat you."
+
+Lily was scared, but she remembered what her mom said. She said, "Go away, monster. You're not welcome here. I'm not afraid of you. You're just a shadow or a noise or a dream. You're not real."

+The monster looked surprised and sad. It said, "But Lily, I'm lonely. I just want to be your friend. I don't want to eat you. I want to play with you and your dolls. Can I join your tea party?"
+
+Lily thought for a moment. She said, "Really? You don't want to eat me? You want to be my friend?"
+
+The monster nodded and said, "Yes, Lily. I'm sorry I scared you. I didn't mean to. I was just bored and curious. I like your room and your toys. You seem nice and fun. Can we be friends?"
+
+Lily smiled and said, "OK, monster. We can be friends. But you have to be nice and gentle and quiet. And you have to brush your teeth and put on pajamas. And you have to sleep when it's dark. Do you agree?"
+
+The monster agreed and crawled out from under the bed. Lily gave him a doll and a cup of tea. They played and talked and laughed. They brushed their teeth and put on pajamas. They snuggled in the bed and said goodnight.
+
+Lily was not afraid of the monster anymore. She was happy to have a new friend. She believed that monsters can be nice and friendly. She fell asleep and dreamed of tea parties and dragons and princesses.

+
+But then they saw a big cat in the garden. It was a leopard. It had spots and sharp teeth. It looked hungry and angry.
+
+"Look, a leopard!" said Tom.
+

+
+They left the truck and ran to the house. They were scared and sad. The leopard saw the truck and the toys. It smelled something sweet. It was the doll. The doll had a dress with flowers and honey. The leopard liked honey. It took the doll and ran away.

+
+"That's our doll!" said Tom.

+
+Tom laughs and shoots the arrow. It flies fast and hits the tree. Tom is happy. He runs to get the arrow.

+Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to slide, swing and run. They saw a big jeep parked near the gate. It was green and shiny. They wanted to see it closer.
+
+"Let's go to the jeep," Lily said.
+
+"OK," Tom said.
+
+They ran to the jeep and looked inside. It had a lot of buttons and wheels. They wondered what they did. They saw a man sitting in the driver's seat. He had a hat and sunglasses. He looked angry.
+
+"Hello," Lily said.
+
+The man did not say hello. He said, "Go away! This is my jeep. You are not allowed to touch it. You are terrible kids!"

+Tom and Mia are playing in the garden. They have a big box of powder that makes bubbles. They blow the bubbles with a straw and watch them fly in the air. They laugh and clap their hands.
+
+"Look, Tom, a big bubble!" Mia says, pointing at a shiny ball of air.
+
+"Wow, it's so pretty!" Tom says, and tries to catch it. But the bubble pops and he gets powder on his nose. He sneezes and wipes his face.
+
+Mia giggles and blows another bubble. She wants to show Tom how big she can make it. She blows and blows and blows. But she forgets to hold the straw. The powder falls out of the box and onto the ground.
+
+"Oh no, Mia, you forgot the straw!" Tom says, and picks it up. He sees that the box is empty. "And you used all the powder!"

+
+Tom hugs her back and smiles. He likes Mia and he doesn't want her to cry. He has an idea.
+
+"It's okay, Mia, don't cry. We can play something else. Do you want to play with my teddy bear? He's very soft and comfortable," he says, and shows her his brown teddy bear.
+
+Mia stops crying and smiles. She likes teddy bears. They are soft and comfortable. She takes Tom's teddy bear and cuddles it.
+

+Tom nods and kisses her back. He's happy that Mia is happy. He likes to share his teddy bear. They sit on the grass and play with the teddy bear. They forget about the powder and the bubbles. They are happy and comfortable.
+Lily and Ben were having pizza for dinner. They liked pizza a lot. It had cheese and sauce and bread. Lily liked to put olives on her pizza. Ben did not like olives. He liked to put ham on his pizza.
+
+"Can I have some of your ham?" Lily asked Ben.
+
+"No, you have olives. I don't like olives. You can't have my ham," Ben said.
+
+"But I want to try your ham. It looks yummy. Please, Ben, can I have some?" Lily said.
+
+"No, no, no. Go away, Lily. This is my pizza. You have your own pizza," Ben said. He pushed Lily away with his hand.
+
+Lily felt sad and angry. She wanted to share with Ben, but he was mean to her. She decided to kick his pizza off the table. She kicked it hard with her foot.
+
+"Hey, what are you doing? That's my pizza!" Ben shouted. He saw his pizza fall on the floor. He was very upset. He started to cry.
+
+"Mommy, mommy, Lily kicked my pizza!" Ben cried.
+
+Mommy heard the noise and came to the kitchen. She saw the pizza on the floor and the children crying.
+
+"What happened here?" Mommy asked.
+
+"Lily kicked my pizza. She was mean to me. She wanted my ham," Ben said.
+
+"I just wanted to try his ham. He was mean to me. He pushed me away," Lily said.
+
+Mommy sighed. She was not happy with the children. She picked up the pizza from the floor and threw it in the trash.
+
+"Listen, Lily and Ben. You need to be nice to each other. You need to share and take turns. You can't kick or push or cry over pizza. That's not how we behave. Do you understand?" Mommy said.
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They felt sorry for what they did. They hugged each other and said sorry.
+
+"Can we have some more pizza, Mommy?" Lily asked.
+
+"Sorry, kids. There is no more pizza. We have to eat something else. How about some soup and bread?" Mommy said.
+
+Lily and Ben agreed. They went to the table and ate their soup and bread. They were not very happy, but they were comfortable. They learned their lesson. They decided to be nice to each other and share their food next time.

+Tom and Lily were playing pirates in the garden. They had a big box for a ship, a stick for a sword and a scarf for a flag. They pretended to sail on the sea and look for treasure.
+
+"Ahoy, matey!" Tom shouted. "I see an island with a big X on it. That must be where the gold is!"
+
+"Let's go, captain!" Lily said. "But be careful, there might be other pirates or monsters there."
+
+They jumped out of the box and ran to the island, which was a pile of dirt and rocks. They dug with their hands and found a shiny metal box. They opened it and saw some coins and jewels.
+
+"Wow, we are rich!" Tom said. "We can buy anything we want!"
+
+He grabbed a handful of coins and put them in his pocket. But he was careless and did not notice that some of them fell out and rolled away.
+
+Lily saw the coins and picked them up. She was angry and said, "Tom, you are a bad pirate! You are dropping our treasure! You need to wipe your pocket and make sure it is closed!"
+
+Tom looked at his pocket and saw the hole. He felt sorry and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I did not mean to be careless. I will wipe my pocket and sew it with a needle and thread. Can you share some of your coins with me?"
+
+Lily thought for a moment and said, "OK, Tom. I will share some of my coins with you. But you have to promise to be a good pirate and not lose our treasure again."
+
+Tom nodded and said, "I promise, Lily. Thank you for being a good friend and a good pirate."
+
+They hugged and smiled. They put the box back in the dirt and covered it with rocks. They decided to leave it there and come back another day. They ran back to their ship and sailed away, happy and proud of their adventure.
+Anna and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. Anna had a big doll that she liked very much. Ben had a small car that he liked very much. They were happy and shared their toys.
+
+But then, Ben saw a cookie on the table. He wanted to eat it. He ran to the table and grabbed the cookie. He did not ask Anna if she wanted some. He was selfish.
+
+Anna saw Ben with the cookie. She was hungry and wanted some too. She ran to Ben and said, "Ben, can I have some cookie? Please, share with me."
+
+Ben did not want to share. He said, "No, this is my cookie. Go away." He put the cookie in his mouth and bit it. He wanted to taste it all.
+
+Anna was sad and angry. She said, "Ben, you are mean. You are not a good brother. You should share with me." She reached for the cookie, but Ben moved away. He did not care about Anna.
+
+Anna did not give up. She ran after Ben and tried to get the cookie. Ben ran away from her and tried to keep the cookie. They chased each other around the living room. They knocked over the toys and made a mess.
+
+But then, Anna caught up with Ben. She grabbed his arm and pulled it. She wanted the cookie. Ben felt pain and yelled, "Ow, Anna, let go of my arm. You are hurting me."
+
+Anna did not let go. She said, "Give me the cookie. You are selfish." She pulled harder. Ben yelled louder.
+
+Mom heard the noise and came to the living room. She saw Anna and Ben fighting over the cookie. She saw the toys and the mess. She was not happy. She said, "Anna, Ben, stop it. What are you doing? Why are you fighting over a cookie?"
+
+Anna and Ben stopped and looked at Mom. They felt ashamed. They knew they did something wrong. They said, "Sorry, Mom."
+
+Mom said, "You should not be selfish. You should share with each other. You should be kind and gentle. You should not hurt each other. You should love each other. Do you understand?"
+
+Anna and Ben nodded. They said, "Yes, Mom. We understand."

+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, Lily sees a big box in Ben's room. It has a sticker that says "mystery". Lily is curious. She wants to know what is in the box.
+
+"Ben, what is in the box?" Lily asks.
+
+"It is a surprise for my birthday. My mom said I can open it tomorrow. You can come and see it too." Ben says.
+
+Lily is happy. She likes surprises. She says "thank you" and gives Ben a hug.
+
+The next day, Lily goes to Ben's house. She sees the box on the table. She is excited. She wants to see the surprise.
+
+"Can we open the box now, please?" Lily asks.
+
+"Okay, let's open it together." Ben says.
+
+They open the box. Inside, there is a big teddy bear. It is brown and soft. It has a red bow around its neck. It is very cute.
+
+"Wow, it is a teddy bear! I love it!" Lily says.
+
+"It is for you, Lily. Happy birthday!" Ben says.
+
+Lily is surprised. She did not know it was her birthday. She is very happy. She hugs the teddy bear and Ben.
+
+"Thank you, Ben. You are the best friend ever!" Lily says.
+
+Ben is happy too. He smiles and says "You are welcome, Lily. I am glad you like it."
+
+They play with the teddy bear and have fun. They are not jealous of each other. They share the mystery and the joy. They are good friends.
+Ben loves baseball. He likes to throw the ball and hit it with the bat. He wants to play with his big brother Tom, who is very good at baseball.
+
+"Can I play with you, Tom?" Ben asks.
+
+"Sure, Ben. You can be on my team. We are playing against Sam and Max. They are very fast and strong, but we can win if we try hard," Tom says.
+
+Ben is happy. He follows Tom to the field, where Sam and Max are waiting. Tom gives Ben a glove and a hat. He shows him how to catch the ball and throw it back.
+
+"Good job, Ben. You are learning fast. You are a great baseball player," Tom encourages Ben.
+
+Ben smiles. He feels proud and confident. He wants to make Tom happy.
+
+The game starts. Tom hits the ball and runs to the first base. Ben cheers for him. Then it is Ben's turn to hit. He holds the bat and looks at the ball. Sam throws the ball very fast. Ben swings the bat, but he misses.
+
+"Strike one!" Sam shouts.
+
+Ben feels sad. He tries again, but he misses again.
+
+"Strike two!" Max shouts.
+
+Ben feels scared. He thinks he will let Tom down. He looks at Tom, who is on the second base. Tom smiles and waves at him.
+
+"You can do it, Ben. I believe in you. Just relax and have fun. You are a star," Tom encourages Ben.
+
+Ben feels better. He listens to Tom's kind words. He takes a deep breath and waits for the ball. He swings the bat and hits the ball. The ball flies high and far. Ben runs to the first base, then the second base, then the third base. He sees Tom waiting for him at the home plate.
+
+"Run, Ben, run! You hit a home run! You are amazing!" Tom encourages Ben.
+
+Ben runs faster and faster. He reaches the home plate and jumps into Tom's arms. Tom hugs him and lifts him up.
+
+"Yay, Ben! You did it! You are the best baseball player ever! I am so proud of you!" Tom says.
+
+Ben feels happy. He hugs Tom back and thanks him.
+
+"Thank you, Tom. You are the best brother ever. You are so kind and helpful. You make me feel brave and strong. I love you," Ben says.
+
+Tom and Ben smile and laugh. They high-five each other and celebrate. Sam and Max clap and cheer for them. They are good sports and friends. They all enjoy playing baseball together.
+Lily and Ben like to act. They act stories from books and shows. They have a big box of costumes and props. They can be anything they want.
+
+One day, they act a story about a princess and a dragon. Lily is the princess and Ben is the dragon. They use a smooth scarf for the princess's hair and a spiky hat for the dragon's head. They make a castle from pillows and a cave from blankets.
+
+"Help, help!" Lily says. "The dragon has me in his cave. He will eat me soon. Is there a brave knight who can save me?"
+
+"Roar!" Ben says. "I am the dragon. I am hungry and angry. You are my lunch. No one can stop me."
+
+Lily and Ben act for a long time. They make noises and faces. They have fun. They forget that they are Lily and Ben. They are the princess and the dragon.
+
+Then, they hear a knock on the door. It is their mom. She comes in with a tray of cookies and milk.
+
+"Hello, my little actors," she says. "What story are you acting today?"
+
+Lily and Ben stop acting. They smile and run to their mom. They tell her about their story. They share the cookies and milk. They are happy.
+Lila and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run, jump and slide. They saw a big hill with many flowers. They wanted to go up and see what was there.
+
+They ran up the hill and lay down on the grass. They looked at the sky and the clouds. They saw many shapes and colors. They saw a bird, a boat, a star and a dragon.
+
+"Look, Ben, a dragon!" Lila said. "It is blue and has wings and fire."
+
+"Wow, Lila, it is so cool!" Ben said. "I wish I could fly like a dragon."
+
+They heard a loud roar. They turned and saw a real dragon. It was blue and had wings and fire. It was angry and hungry. It saw Lila and Ben and came towards them.
+
+Lila and Ben were fearful. They did not know what to do. They wanted to run away, but they were too scared.
+
+"Help, help!" they shouted. "There is a dragon!"
+
+A man heard them. He was a park ranger. He had a big truck and a net. He came to the hill and saw the dragon. He was brave and smart. He threw the net over the dragon and tied it up. He put the dragon in his truck and drove away.
+
+Lila and Ben were safe. They hugged each other and thanked the man.
+
+"You are welcome, kids," the man said. "That was a bad dragon. It escaped from the zoo. I will take it back and lock it up."
+
+Lila and Ben were happy. They went back to their parents and told them what happened. They said they were sorry for going too far. They said they learned their lesson. They said they would never go near a dragon again.
+Lily and Ben were playing in their room. They had many toys, but they liked the clock best. The clock was big and round, and it made funny noises. Sometimes it said "tick-tock", sometimes it said "ding-dong", and sometimes it said nothing at all.
+
+One day, the clock stopped working. It did not say anything, and the hands did not move. Lily and Ben were sad. They wanted to fix the clock, but they did not know how. They asked their mom for help.
+
+"Mom, our clock is broken. Can you make it work again?" Lily said.
+
+"I'm sorry, sweeties, but I can't. The clock is very old, and it needs a special part that I don't have. Maybe we can find a new clock for you later." Mom said.
+
+"But we love this clock. We don't want a new one. We want this one." Ben said.
+
+"I know, honey, but sometimes things break and we have to let them go. Why don't you play with something else for now?" Mom said.
+
+Lily and Ben did not want to play with something else. They wanted to play with the clock. They insisted that Mom try to fix it. They said "please" and "pretty please" and "pretty please with sugar on top". But Mom said no. She said it was impossible.
+
+Lily and Ben were very upset. They cried and stomped their feet. They did not listen to Mom. They did not want to give up on the clock.
+
+Then, they had an idea. They remembered that Dad had a toolbox in the garage. Maybe they could find something to fix the clock. They sneaked out of their room and went to the garage. They opened the toolbox and looked inside. They saw many things that they did not know. They saw hammers and nails and screws and pliers and wrenches and wires. They thought they looked like fun.
+
+They took some of the things and went back to their room. They put the clock on the floor and started to hit it and poke it and twist it and pull it. They hoped that they could make it work again. They did not notice that they were making a big mess. They did not notice that they were breaking the clock even more. They did not notice that Mom was coming to check on them.
+
+"Kids, what are you doing?" Mom said, when she saw the disaster. She was shocked and angry. She saw the clock in pieces, and the tools scattered everywhere. She saw the scratches and dents and sparks on the floor. She saw Lily and Ben with dirty hands and faces.
+
+"We're fixing the clock, Mom. We're making it work again." Lily and Ben said, proudly.
+
+Mom did not know what to say. She did not know whether to laugh or cry. She did not know how to explain to them that they had made a big mistake. She did not know how to make them understand that the clock was gone for good. She did not know how to make them happy again. She wished she had a magic wand.
+Lily and Ben were bored. They had no toys to play with. They looked around the room and saw a big armchair. It was old and soft and had many colors.
+
+"Let's play on the armchair!" Lily said. "It looks funny and cozy."
+
+Ben nodded. He liked the idea. They ran to the armchair and climbed on it. They pretended it was a boat, a castle, a rocket. They had fun.
+
+But the armchair was not very strong. It had holes and tears and loose springs. As Lily and Ben jumped and bounced, the armchair started to make noises. It creaked and groaned and snapped.
+
+"Stop! Stop!" the armchair said. "You are hurting me! You are breaking me!"
+
+Lily and Ben were scared. They did not know the armchair could talk. They wanted to get off, but the armchair was angry. It grabbed them with its cushions and held them tight.
+
+"Help! Help!" Lily and Ben cried. "Let us go! Let us go!"
+
+But no one heard them. No one came to help. The armchair did not let them go. It kept them in its grip. It was not funny and cozy anymore. It was mean and scary.
+
+Lily and Ben were trapped. They were sorry they played on the armchair. They wished they had listened to its urge. They wished they had played with something else. They wished they had been more careful. But it was too late. The armchair had them. And it did not let them go.
+Tom and Mia like to play with their boat in the pond. They take turns to push the boat and watch it sail. Sometimes they make sounds like "beep beep" or "splash splash".
+
+One day, a big dog comes to the pond. He sees the boat and thinks it is a toy. He runs to the water and tries to catch the boat with his mouth. He makes the water dirty and wet.
+
+Tom and Mia are very angry. They shout at the dog. "Go away, dog! That is our boat! You are a bad dog!"
+
+The dog does not listen. He grabs the boat and runs away. He marks the boat with his teeth. He makes holes in the boat.
+
+Tom and Mia cry. They love their boat. They want their boat back. They are very sad.
+
+A man sees the dog and the boat. He is the dog's owner. He is grumpy. He does not like children. He does not like boats. He says to Tom and Mia. "What are you doing here? This is my dog's toy. He can do what he wants with it. Go away, you little pests!"
+
+Tom and Mia are very scared. They run away from the man and the dog. They leave their boat behind. They hope to find a new boat someday. They hope to find a nice dog someday. They hope to never see the man and the dog again.
+Sara and Ben are playing in the park. It is a hot day and the sun is bright. Sara has a big hat to keep her head cool. Ben has a small hat that does not cover his ears.
+
+"Can I try your hat?" Ben asks Sara.
+
+"OK, but only for a little bit," Sara says. She gives Ben her hat and puts on his hat.
+
+Ben likes Sara's hat. It is soft and has a flower on it. He feels the shade on his face and neck. He does not want to give it back.
+
+"Sara, can I keep your hat?" Ben says.
+
+"No, Ben, that is not fair. That is my hat and I like it. You can have your hat back," Sara says.
+
+"But your hat is better. My hat is too small and hot. Please, Sara, let me keep your hat," Ben says.
+
+Sara is angry. She does not like Ben's hat. It is hard and has a hole on it. She wants her hat back.
+
+"Ben, give me my hat now. That is not nice. You have to share. If you do not give me my hat, I will tell Mom," Sara says.
+
+Ben is scared. He does not want Mom to be mad at him. He gives Sara her hat and takes his hat.
+
+"I am sorry, Sara. I was selfish. Your hat is very pretty, but it is yours. Can we still be friends?" Ben says.
+
+Sara smiles. She is happy to have her hat back. She likes Ben, but he has to learn to share.
+
+"Of course, Ben. We are friends. But next time, ask me before you take my things. And maybe we can find some shade under a tree, so we can both be cool," Sara says.
+
+They hug and run to the tree. They play and laugh in the shade. They are fair and kind to each other. They have fun in the park.
+Tom and Jen are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big billboard. It has a picture of a toy car. The car can spin and make noises. Tom and Jen want the car.
+
+"Look, Jen, the car is so cool! Let's go and get it!" Tom says.
+
+"OK, Tom, but how? The billboard is very high. We can't reach it." Jen says.
+
+Tom has an idea. He is very smart. He sees a ladder near the billboard. He says, "We can use the ladder. Come on, Jen, follow me!"
+
+Tom and Jen run to the ladder. They climb up the ladder. They are very happy. They think they can get the car. But they are wrong.
+
+The ladder is not strong. It is old and broken. It shakes and falls. Tom and Jen fall too. They hit the ground. They are hurt. They cry and scream.
+
+A man sees them. He runs to help them. He calls the doctor. He says, "You are very silly. You should not climb the ladder. You should not touch the billboard. The car is not real. It is only a picture. You are in trouble now."
+
+Tom and Jen are very sad. They are sorry. They wish they did not see the billboard. They wish they did not climb the ladder. They wish they did not want the car. They learn a lesson. They will not do it again.
+Ben and Lily were playing in the garden after dinner. They liked to look at the sky and see the stars and the moon. The moon was big and bright and round.
+
+"Look, Ben, the moon is like a ball!" Lily said. "I want to play with it!"
+
+Ben laughed. "You can't play with the moon, Lily. It is too far away. And it is not a ball, it is a rock."
+
+Lily frowned. "But it looks like a ball. And it is shiny. Maybe we can pull it down with a rope."
+
+Ben shook his head. "That won't work, Lily. The moon is very heavy and the rope is not strong enough. And if you pull the moon down, it will not be useful anymore."
+
+Lily tilted her head. "Why not? What is the moon useful for?"
+
+Ben thought for a moment. He remembered what his mom had told him. "The moon is useful for many things, Lily. It gives us light at night. It makes the waves in the sea. It helps some animals and plants. And it is beautiful to look at."
+
+Lily nodded. She understood. She did not want to pull the moon down anymore. She wanted to keep it in the sky. She smiled at Ben. "You are right, Ben. The moon is useful and pretty. Let's just watch it and make a wish."
+
+Ben smiled back. He liked to make wishes with Lily. They held hands and closed their eyes. They wished for something good and happy. Then they opened their eyes and saw the moon smiling at them. They felt warm and cozy. They hugged each other and said good night. They went inside and got ready for bed. They dreamed of the moon and the stars.
+Anna and Ben were friends who liked to play on the farm. They liked to feed the chickens, pet the cows and ride the mule. The mule was old and slow, but he was kind and gentle.
+
+One day, Anna and Ben wanted to ride the mule to the pond. They put a saddle and a bridle on him and climbed on his back. The mule walked slowly along the path, but he did not mind. He liked the children and they liked him.
+
+But when they got to the pond, they saw a big problem. The bridge that crossed the water was broken. Some of the planks were missing and some were cracked. The mule stopped and looked at the bridge. He was worried. He did not want to fall into the water.
+
+"Come on, mule, let's go!" Anna said. She pulled on the bridle, but the mule did not move. He shook his head and snorted.
+
+"No, Anna, we can't go!" Ben said. He saw the broken bridge and he was scared. He did not want to get wet or hurt. "The bridge is broken. It is not safe. We have to go back."
+
+Anna looked at the bridge and saw that Ben was right. She felt sorry for the mule. She did not want to make him do something he did not want to do. She patted his neck and said, "Sorry, mule. You are a good mule. We will go back."
+
+The mule was happy. He turned around and walked back to the farm. Anna and Ben hugged him and thanked him. They decided to play with the chickens instead. They were still friends and they still liked the mule. The mule liked them too. He was not worried anymore.
+Anna likes to draw. She has many colors and papers. She draws flowers, animals, and houses. She wants to show her mom and dad what she draws.
+
+But mom and dad are busy. Mom is cooking and dad is working. They tell Anna to wait a little. They will look at her drawings later. Anna is sad. She wants to show them now.
+
+She goes to her room and sees her baby brother. He is sleeping in his crib. Anna has an idea. She takes her papers and colors and goes to his crib. She puts a paper on his blanket and starts to draw. She draws a big sun and a happy face. She wants to show her brother her drawing.
+
+But her brother does not wake up. He does not see her drawing. He does not smile. He does not say anything. Anna is sad. She wants to show him now.
+
+She tries to make him wake up. She shakes his crib. She makes noises. She tickles his feet. But her brother does not wake up. He does not see her drawing. He does not smile. He does not say anything. Anna is mad. She wants to show him now.
+
+She starts to cry. She cries loud. She cries hard. She cries so much that mom and dad hear her. They come to her room and see her crying. They see her drawing. They see her brother sleeping.
+
+They ask her what is wrong. Anna tells them. She tells them she wants to show them and her brother her drawings. She tells them she is sad and mad. She tells them she is not patient.
+
+Mom and dad hug her. They tell her they are sorry. They tell her they are proud of her drawings. They tell her they are beautiful and creative. They tell her they love her.
+
+They tell her to be patient. They tell her her brother will wake up soon. They tell her he will see her drawing. They tell her he will smile. They tell her he will say something.
+
+They tell her to wait a little. They tell her they will look at her other drawings later. They tell her they are not busy anymore. They tell her they are happy.
+
+Anna stops crying. She smiles. She hugs them back. She says she loves them. She says she will be patient. She says she will wait a little. She says she is happy.
+Tim and Sue like to play with blocks. They have many blocks of different colors and shapes. They can build towers, houses, bridges and more. They have fun together.
+
+One day, they find a new block in their toy box. It is gray and has many spikes on it. It looks like a porcupine. Tim and Sue are curious. They want to see what it can do.
+
+"Can I have it?" Tim asks.
+
+"No, I saw it first," Sue says.
+
+They both reach for the spiky block. They pull and tug. The block slips from their hands. It drops on the floor.
+
+"Ow!" Tim cries. He steps on a spike. It hurts his foot.
+
+"Sorry, Tim," Sue says. She feels bad. She picks up the block and gives it to Tim.
+
+"Thank you, Sue," Tim says. He smiles. He puts the block on top of his tower. It looks cool.
+
+They hug and say sorry. They are patient and kind. They share their blocks and play some more. They are happy.
+Tom and Sam were brothers who liked to play with tubes. They had many tubes of different colors and sizes. They used them to make tunnels, bridges, and rockets. One day, they found a big tube in the yard. It was black and shiny and had a hole at one end.
+
+"Wow, look at this tube!" Tom said. "It is so big and cool. I want to act like a space man and go inside it."
+
+"No, Tom, don't do that!" Sam said. "It is not a toy. It is a pipe. It can be hot or dirty or dangerous. Mom and Dad told us not to touch it."
+
+But Tom did not listen to Sam. He was not humble. He thought he was smarter and braver than Sam. He ran to the tube and crawled inside it. He shouted, "I am a space man! I am going to the moon!"
+
+Sam was scared. He tried to pull Tom out of the tube, but he could not. He heard a loud noise. It was a truck. The truck was coming to the yard. The truck had a big hose. The hose was connected to the tube. The truck was going to fill the tube with water.
+
+"Tom, Tom, get out of the tube!" Sam cried. "The truck is here! The water is coming!"
+
+But Tom did not hear Sam. He was too far inside the tube. He was having fun. He did not see the water. He did not feel the water. He did not know the water.
+
+The water came. The water filled the tube. The water drowned Tom.
+
+Sam screamed. He ran to the truck. He told the driver to stop. He told the driver about Tom. He told the driver to help.
+
+But it was too late. Tom was gone. Sam was alone. Sam was sad. Sam wished he had a brother. Sam wished Tom had been humble.
+Ben and Mia were playing with their toy boat in the bathtub. They liked to pretend they were sailors and go on adventures. Ben was the captain and Mia was the first mate.
+
+"Look, Mia, there is a big storm coming!" Ben said, pointing to the bubbles. "We have to spin the boat fast to get away!"
+
+Mia nodded and helped Ben spin the boat with their hands. They made whooshing noises as the boat spun around and around. The bubbles splashed and popped on their faces.
+
+But there was a problem. The boat had a hole and water was getting inside. The boat started to sink and the sailors had to jump out.
+
+"Oh no, our boat!" Mia cried. "We have to fix it!"
+
+Ben looked at the hole and shook his head. "It's too big. We can't fix it. We need a new boat."
+
+Mia was persistent. She did not want to give up on their boat. She had an idea.
+
+"Wait, Ben, I have something!" She said, running to her room. She came back with a piece of tape and a sticker. She put the tape over the hole and the sticker on top. "There, now it's fixed!"
+
+Ben looked at the tape and the sticker. He smiled. "You're right, Mia, you fixed it! You're a smart sailor!"
+
+They hugged and put the boat back in the water. They spun it again and pretended to sail away. They had fun and forgot about the storm.
+Lila and Tom were best friends. They liked to play in the park every day. They liked to swing, slide and run. They also liked to look at the sky and the earth. They saw many things that were beautiful and adorable, like birds, flowers and clouds.
+
+One day, they saw a big balloon in the sky. It was red and shiny. It looked like a big apple. They wanted to touch it and play with it. They asked their moms if they could have it. Their moms said no. They said the balloon was too high and too far. They said it was not safe to go near it.
+
+But Lila and Tom did not listen. They waited until their moms were busy talking. Then they ran away from the park. They followed the balloon as it moved in the wind. They did not see the cars, the dogs and the people. They only saw the balloon.
+
+They came to a big hill. The balloon was above the hill. They thought they could reach it if they climbed the hill. They started to climb. They did not know that the hill was not a hill. It was a pile of dirt and rocks. It was not stable. It was not safe.
+
+They climbed and climbed. They were almost at the top. They stretched their hands to the balloon. They smiled and laughed. They thought they had it. But then, the pile of dirt and rocks started to shake. It started to fall. It started to bury them.
+
+They screamed and cried. They called for their moms. They called for help. But no one heard them. No one saw them. The balloon flew away. The earth covered them. They were gone.
+
+The moral of the story is: listen to your parents. They know what is best for you. Do not chase things that are not yours. Do not go to places that are not safe. Be happy with what you have. Be careful with what you do.
+Lila and Tom were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big truck with many boxes. The truck said "Spicy Food from the East". Lila and Tom were curious. They wanted to try the spicy food.
+
+They climbed on the truck and opened a box. Inside, they found some red and green peppers. They smelled good. Lila and Tom each took a pepper and bit it. But they soon regretted it. The peppers were very spicy. They burned their mouths and made them cry.
+
+"Help! Help!" they shouted. "Water! Water!"
+
+The truck driver heard them and came to see what was wrong. He was angry. He saw Lila and Tom with his peppers. He scolded them.
+
+"What are you doing here? These are not for you. These are for my customers. You are naughty children. You stole my peppers. I will punish you."
+
+He grabbed Lila and Tom by their ears and dragged them to the park gate. He called their parents and told them what they did. Their parents were also angry. They apologized to the truck driver and took Lila and Tom home.
+
+Lila and Tom had to go to bed without dinner. They still felt the spicy peppers in their mouths. They were very sorry. They learned their lesson. They never stole spicy food from the east again.
+Ben was sick. He had a bad cough and a sore throat. He did not want to play or eat. He only wanted to sleep.
+
+Mom took Ben to the doctor. The doctor looked at Ben and said, "You have a cold. You need some medicine to feel better. I will print a paper for you. Take this paper to the pharmacy and they will give you the medicine."
+
+Mom thanked the doctor and took Ben and the paper to the pharmacy. The pharmacy was a big store with many shelves and boxes. Mom gave the paper to a man behind a counter. The man looked at the paper and said, "I have the medicine for you. It is available now. It is a syrup. You have to give Ben a spoonful of the syrup twice a day. It will help him stop coughing and soothe his throat."
+
+Mom paid the man and took the medicine and Ben to the car. She opened the bottle and gave Ben a spoonful of the syrup. Ben made a face and said, "Yuck! It is bitter!"
+
+Mom smiled and said, "I know, but it will make you feel better. You are a brave boy. When we get home, you can have some juice and a cookie. How does that sound?"
+
+Ben nodded and said, "Okay. Thank you, Mom. I love you."
+
+Mom hugged Ben and said, "I love you too, Ben. You will be well soon."
+Anna and Ben are friends. They live in a small village near the big forest. Every day, they help their parents work on the farm. They feed the cows, water the plants, and collect the eggs.
+
+One day, Anna and Ben see a new boy in the village. He is wearing old clothes and has a sad face. He is sitting on a bench near the well. Anna and Ben are curious. They go to talk to him.
+
+"Hello, what is your name?" Anna asks.
+
+"I am Sam," the boy says.
+
+"Where do you come from?" Ben asks.
+
+"I come from far away. I have no home, no family, no friends. I walk and walk, looking for a place to stay," Sam says.
+
+Anna and Ben feel sorry for Sam. They want to help him.
+
+"You can stay with us. We have a big barn. You can sleep there. You can also work with us on the farm. You can be our friend," Anna says.
+
+"Really? You are so kind. Thank you very much," Sam says.
+
+Anna and Ben smile. They take Sam to their farm. They introduce him to their parents, who welcome him warmly. They show him the barn, where they make a bed for him. They share their food, their toys, and their stories with him.
+
+Sam is happy. He has found a new home, a new family, and new friends. He works hard on the farm, and learns many things. He also plays with Anna and Ben, and has fun. He likes the village, and the village likes him. He is no longer sad. He is grateful.
+Lila and Ben like to play pirates. They have a big box with old clothes and toys. They dress up and pretend to sail on a ship. They look for treasure on islands and in caves.
+
+One day, they find a shiny gem in the box. It is red and sparkly. Lila says, "Wow, look at this gem! It must be very rare and precious. We are rich, Ben!"
+
+Ben takes the gem and looks at it. He says, "No, Lila, this is not a real gem. It is fake. See, it is made of plastic. It has a crack and a sticker on it. Someone put it in the box to trick us."
+
+Lila feels sad and angry. She says, "Give it back to me, Ben! I don't care if it is fake. I like it. It is pretty and fun. You are mean and greedy. You want to keep it for yourself."
+
+Ben says, "No, I don't. It is worthless and ugly. You are silly and foolish. You don't know anything about gems."
+
+They start to fight over the gem. They pull and tug and shout. They don't see that their mom is watching them. She is not happy. She says, "Stop it, both of you! What are you doing? Why are you fighting over a fake gem? That is not how pirates behave. Pirates share and help each other. Pirates are brave and kind. Pirates don't strike their friends."
+
+Lila and Ben feel ashamed. They drop the gem and say, "Sorry, mom. Sorry, Lila. Sorry, Ben. We were wrong. We don't want to fight. We want to play."
+
+Mom says, "That's better. Now, why don't you put the gem back in the box and find something else to play with? Maybe you can make a map or a flag or a sword. Or you can sing a pirate song or tell a pirate joke. There are many ways to have fun as pirates."
+
+Lila and Ben smile and hug. They say, "Thank you, mom. You are right. We love to play pirates. And we love each other. And we love you."
+
+Mom smiles and hugs them back. She says, "I love you too, my little pirates. Now, off you go and have fun. But remember, be nice and fair and respectful. And don't strike anyone, even if they have a fake gem."
+Tom and Mia were friends who liked to play pretend. One day, they found a big box in the attic. It had a lock on it, but no key. They wondered what was inside.
+
+"Maybe it is a treasure!" Tom said.
+
+"Or a magic wand!" Mia said.
+
+They tried to open the lock, but it was too hard. They looked around for something to help them. They saw a paper clip on the floor.
+
+"Let's use this!" Tom said. He bent the paper clip and put it in the lock. He twisted and turned it until he heard a click. He unlocked the box.
+
+They opened the box and saw a book. It had pictures of strange places and animals. They opened the book and saw a map. It showed a path to a temple. The temple had a big door with a star on it.
+
+"Wow, this looks like an adventure!" Mia said.
+
+"Let's follow the map!" Tom said.
+
+They took the book and the box and went outside. They pretended they were explorers. They followed the map through the garden, the street, and the park. They saw flowers, birds, and dogs. They said hello to the people they met.
+
+They reached the temple. It was a big slide in the playground. It had a star on the door. They climbed up the stairs and opened the door. They slid down the slide and landed on a pile of pillows.
+
+They saw a basket on the pillows. It had cookies and juice in it. There was a note that said: "For Tom and Mia, from Grandma. Enjoy your adventure!"
+
+"Yummy!" Tom and Mia said. They ate the cookies and drank the juice. They hugged the book and the box. They were happy. They had found a treasure.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play together. One day, they find a big bottle of lotion in Anna's mom's room. They think it is fun to squeeze the lotion and make bubbles.
+
+"Look, Ben, I can make a big bubble with the lotion!" Anna says, holding the bottle upside down.
+
+"Wow, that's cool, Anna! Can I try?" Ben asks, reaching for the bottle.
+
+"Sure, here you go. But be careful, don't spill it on the floor!" Anna warns.
+
+Ben takes the bottle and squeezes it hard. He makes a huge bubble that pops and splashes lotion all over his face and hair. He laughs and wipes his eyes.
+
+"That was funny, Ben! You look like a snowman!" Anna giggles.
+
+They keep playing with the lotion, making bubbles and shapes and pretending they are in a snow land. They are very playful and happy.
+
+But then, Anna's mom comes back to the room. She sees the mess they have made with the lotion. She is not happy. She scolds them and tells them to clean up.
+
+"Anna, Ben, what have you done? This is not a toy, this is my lotion! It is for my skin, not for playing! Look at the mess you have made! You have to clean it up right now!" she says, sounding angry.
+
+Anna and Ben feel sorry. They did not mean to make mom angry. They say sorry and help mom clean up the lotion. They promise not to play with it again. Mom forgives them and hugs them. She tells them to play with something else next time. She gives them some crayons and paper to draw. They draw pictures of snowmen and bubbles and lotion. They still have fun, but they are more careful. They learn their lesson.
+Lily was a popular girl in her class. She had many friends who liked to play with her. She was good at drawing, singing and jumping. She always had a smile on her face.
+
+But one day, Lily did something bad. She took a crayon from Ben, who was her friend. She wanted to draw a flower, but Ben was using the crayon. Ben asked Lily to give it back, but Lily said no. She ran away with the crayon and hid behind a bookshelf.
+
+Ben was sad and angry. He told the teacher what Lily did. The teacher was not happy. She went to find Lily and asked her to come out. Lily was scared and ashamed. She knew she did something wrong.
+
+The teacher told Lily to say sorry to Ben and give him back the crayon. She also told Lily that she had to punish her. She said that Lily could not play with her friends for the rest of the day. She had to sit in a corner and think about what she did.
+
+Lily felt very sorry. She said sorry to Ben and gave him back the crayon. She hugged him and hoped he would forgive her. She went to the corner and sat quietly. She did not smile anymore. She wished she had not taken the crayon from Ben. She learned her lesson. She decided to be nice and share with her friends from now on.
+Lily and Tom were twins who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big balloon in the sky. It was red and shiny and had a long string. They wanted to catch it and see what was inside.
+
+"Look, Tom, a balloon!" Lily said. "Let's run and get it!"
+
+They ran after the balloon, but it was too fast. It flew over the trees and the houses and the cars. They followed it all the way to the east, where the sun came up.
+
+"Where are we, Lily?" Tom asked. "I don't know this place. It looks mysterious."
+
+They saw a big hill with a cave. The balloon went inside the cave. They were curious and brave, so they went inside too. It was dark and cold and quiet. They heard a growl.
+
+"Who's there?" Lily asked.
+
+They saw a big bear with the balloon in his paw. He was angry and hungry. He roared at them.
+
+"Go away, this is my balloon!" he said.
+
+They were scared and sorry. They had taken the bear's balloon. They wanted to go back home.
+
+"Please, Mr. Bear, we didn't know it was yours. We just wanted to play with it. Can we have the string?" Lily said.
+
+The bear looked at them. He saw that they were small and harmless. He felt sorry for them too. He gave them the string.
+
+"Here, take the string. But don't come back. And don't take things that are not yours. It's not nice." he said.
+
+They thanked the bear and ran out of the cave. They used the string to tie their shoes, so they wouldn't trip. They ran back to the park, where their mom was waiting for them. They told her what happened. She hugged them and said:
+
+"I'm glad you're safe. But you should never chase things that are not yours. You could get lost or hurt. And you should always respect other people's things. They might be important to them. Do you understand?"
+
+They nodded and said sorry. They learned their lesson. They never chased balloons again. They played with their own toys and shared them with their friends. They were happy and good.
+Anna likes to study. She likes to look at books and learn new things. She has a pet cat named Max. Max likes to play and sleep. He does not like to study.
+
+One day, Anna wants to study about animals. She has a big book with many pictures of animals. She opens the book and sees a lion. She says, "Look, Max, this is a lion. It is big and strong and has a mane. Can you say lion?"
+
+Max does not say lion. He jumps on the book and scratches it. He does not want Anna to study. He wants Anna to play with him. He meows loudly and runs away.
+
+Anna is sad and angry. She says, "Max, you are a bad cat. You ruined my book. You do not let me study. That is not fair. I play with you every day. You should let me study sometimes."
+
+She follows Max and tries to catch him. Max runs under the bed and hides. He does not want to talk to Anna. He thinks Anna is boring and mean. He does not understand why she likes to study.
+
+Anna and Max are not happy. They are not friends. They need to find a way to make up and share.
+Tom and Mia like to play with their toy train. The train has a red engine and many cars. The engine has a symbol on it. The symbol is a star. Tom and Mia think the star is jolly.
+
+One day, Tom and Mia want to make the train go faster. They think the star can help them. They pull the star hard. But the star does not make the train go faster. The star comes off the engine. Tom and Mia are sad.
+
+They look for the star on the floor. They find it under the table. They are happy. They want to put the star back on the engine. But they do not know how. They try to push the star. But the star does not fit. They try to twist the star. But the star does not turn. They try to tap the star. But the star does not stick.
+
+They ask their mom for help. Mom knows how to fix the star. She shows them a hole on the engine. She shows them a peg on the star. She tells them to match the hole and the peg. She tells them to pull the star gently. Tom and Mia do what mom says. The star goes back on the engine. The star is jolly again. Tom and Mia are jolly too. They thank mom and hug her. They play with their toy train happily.

+
+"Wow, this is a great trophy!" Ben said. "We worked hard for it. We should keep it in a special place."
+
+"Yes, we did," Sam agreed. "But we should also be modest. We did not win by ourselves. We had a good team and a good coach. We should value them too."
+
+Ben nodded. He liked Sam's idea. He said, "You are right, Sam. We should value our team and our coach. They helped us a lot. How about we take turns keeping the trophy? One week at your house, one week at mine. That way, we can both enjoy it and remember our team."
+
+Sam liked Ben's idea too. He said, "That sounds fair and nice, Ben. You are a good friend. I am glad we play soccer together."
+
+They hugged and agreed to share the trophy. They were happy and modest. They valued their trophy, their team, and their friendship.
+Mia and Ben were twins who liked to play in the garden. One day, they saw a big red flower that looked unusual. It had many petals and a sweet smell.
+
+"Wow, what is that?" Mia asked.
+
+"I don't know, but it smells like sugar," Ben said.
+
+They went closer to the flower and touched it. It felt soft and sticky.
+
+"Can we taste it?" Mia wondered.
+
+"Maybe, but we have to ask Mom first," Ben said.
+
+They ran to the house and found Mom in the kitchen.
+
+"Mom, Mom, can we taste the red flower in the garden?" they asked.
+
+Mom looked surprised and curious.
+
+"What red flower?" she asked.
+
+They showed her the flower through the window.
+
+"Oh, that's a hibiscus. It's a very unusual flower. You can taste it, but only a little bit. It's very sour and it might make you sick if you eat too much," she said.
+
+She gave them each a small piece of the flower and made them promise to not eat more.
+
+"Promise, Mom," they said.
+
+They went back to the garden and put the flower in their mouths. It was sour and tangy, but also a little sweet.
+
+"Mmm, it's good," Mia said.
+
+"It's like candy, but different," Ben said.
+
+They smiled and enjoyed the unusual taste of the flower. They kept their promise and did not eat more. They were happy and curious to find more unusual things in the garden.
+Anna and Ben were curious children. They liked to explore new things and ask many questions. One day, they went to the park with their mom and saw a big stage. There were people on the stage who wore funny clothes and made funny sounds. Anna and Ben wanted to see what they were doing.
+
+Mom said they were actors. They were playing a story for the people who came to watch. The story was about a princess and a dragon. The princess was brave and smart. The dragon was mean and scary.

+
+Anna and Ben watched the story with big eyes. They liked the princess and the knight. They did not like the dragon. They hoped the princess and the knight would win.

+"Let's build something with the box!" Lily says.
+
+"OK, what do we build?" Ben asks.
+
+Lily thinks for a moment. She has an idea.
+
+"Let's build a house!" she says.
+
+They take the box to a shady spot under a tree. They turn the box upside down. They cut a door and two windows with scissors. They draw flowers and stars on the walls with crayons. They find some pillows and blankets to make a bed inside. They are very happy with their house.

+
+One day, Lily and her dad go to the park. They see a band playing jazz on a stage. There are many people watching and listening. Lily and her dad join them. Lily sees a girl with a big hat and a red dress. She is singing jazz. She has a beautiful voice.
+
+Lily wants to talk to the girl. She pulls her dad's hand and walks to the stage. She waits until the song is over. Then, she says to the girl, "Hi, I'm Lily. I like your hat and your dress. And I like your singing. You sing jazz very well."
+
+The girl smiles at Lily. She says, "Thank you, Lily. I'm glad you like my hat and my dress and my singing. I like jazz too. It makes me happy. What's your name?"
+
+Lily tells her her name again. She says, "This is my dad. He plays jazz too. He plays the saxophone. He is very good."

+Tim and Sam were brothers. They liked to play with toys in their room. One day, they saw a big iron on the shelf. It was shiny and heavy.
+
+"Look, Sam, a new toy!" Tim said. He climbed on a chair and reached for the iron.
+
+"No, Tim, that is not a toy. That is for Mom to make clothes smooth. It is hot and can hurt you. Put it back!" Sam said. He was scared for Tim.
+
+But Tim did not listen. He was naughty and curious. He grabbed the iron and pulled it down. The cord was long and tangled. The iron fell on the floor with a loud bang. It broke into pieces.
+
+Tim and Sam were shocked. They heard Mom coming. They knew they were in trouble. They tried to hide the iron under the bed.
+
+"What was that noise?" Mom asked. She came into the room and saw the mess. She saw the iron cord sticking out from under the bed. She pulled it and saw the broken iron.
+
+"Tim, Sam, what did you do?" Mom asked. She was angry and sad. She loved her iron. It was a gift from Grandma.
+
+Tim and Sam felt sorry. They came out from under the bed. They looked at Mom with big eyes.
+
+"We are sorry, Mom. We wanted to play with the iron. We did not know it was hot and breakable. We were naughty," Tim said.
+
+"We are sorry, Mom. We will help you clean up. We will not touch the iron again. We were naughty," Sam said.
+
+Mom sighed. She hugged Tim and Sam. She was glad they were not hurt. She was still angry, but she loved them.
+
+"I forgive you, Tim and Sam. But you have to be careful and listen to me. The iron is not a toy. It is dangerous. You have to shake your head and say no when you see something you should not touch. Do you understand?" Mom said.
+
+Tim and Sam nodded. They shook their head and said no. They helped Mom clean up. They learned their lesson. They never played with the iron again.
+Tom was a little frog who liked to hop. He hopped from one leaf to another, looking for bugs to eat. He was happy and green.
+
+One day, he saw a big shiny thing in the water. It looked like a leaf, but it was hard and cold. Tom was curious. He wanted to hop on it and see what it was.
+
+He hopped closer and closer, until he was on the edge of the water. He saw his own face in the shiny thing. He smiled and said, "Hello, frog!"
+
+But the shiny thing was not a leaf. It was steel. And it was not alone. It was part of a big trap that humans had set. As soon as Tom touched the steel, it snapped and caught his leg. Tom felt a sharp pain and a loud noise. He was frightened and hurt.
+
+He tried to hop away, but he could not. He was stuck. He cried and cried, but no one came to help him. He saw the water turn red with his blood. He saw the sky get dark. He saw the humans come with a net and a bag. He saw their big teeth and their mean eyes. He knew he was going to die. He was very sad and scared. He wished he had never hopped on the steel. He wished he had stayed on the leaves. He wished he had said goodbye to his friends and family. He closed his eyes and waited for the end.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They gave him a carrot nose and two stones for eyes. They were very happy.
+
+But then the wind started to blow very hard. It was very cold. Lily and Tom started to shiver. They wanted to go home. But they did not want to leave their snowman alone.
+
+"Let's say goodbye to our snowman," Lily said. "Maybe he will be here tomorrow."
+
+They ran to their snowman and hugged him. He was very cold too. They said, "We love you, snowman. See you soon."
+
+But then they heard a loud snap. A big branch from a tree fell on their snowman. It made a big cut on his head. His hat and scarf flew away. His carrot nose and stones eyes fell off. He was not a snowman anymore. He was just snow.
+
+Lily and Tom gasped. They were very sad. They cried.
+
+"Our snowman is dead," Tom said. "He is gone."
+
+They ran to their house. They wanted to be warm and safe. They wanted to forget what they saw. They hoped their snowman would come back. But they knew he would not.
+On Tuesday, Tom and Anna went to the park with Mom. They saw a big pond with ducks and fish. Tom wanted to feed the ducks, but Anna wanted to play with her toy gun.
+
+"Look, Anna, the ducks are hungry. Let's give them some bread," Tom said.
+
+"No, Tom, I want to shoot the fish. Bang, bang, bang!" Anna said, pointing her toy gun at the water.
+
+"Anna, don't shoot the fish. That's not nice. They are scared of you," Tom said.
+
+Mom heard them and came over. She was busy talking on her phone, but she saw what Anna was doing.
+
+"Anna, stop that right now. You can't shoot the fish or the ducks. That's very rude and mean. You have to be gentle and kind to the animals," Mom said.
+
+She took away Anna's toy gun and gave her some bread. She told her to say sorry to the fish and the ducks.
+
+Anna felt bad. She didn't want to hurt the fish or the ducks. She said sorry and threw some bread into the pond. The fish and the ducks came closer and ate the bread. They looked happy and friendly.
+
+Anna smiled and hugged Mom. She said sorry to Mom too.
+
+"It's okay, Anna. I know you were just playing. But you have to be careful with your toy gun. You can only shoot it at things that are not alive, like cans or bottles," Mom said.
+
+She gave Anna back her toy gun and told her to play nicely with Tom.
+
+Tom and Anna played together for a while. They fed the ducks and the fish, and they shot some cans and bottles. They had fun and learned to share and care. Mom was proud of them. She said they were good kids. They said they loved Mom. They had a good Tuesday.
+Sara and Ben like to play music. They have a drum, a flute, and a tambourine. They take turns to make sounds with them. They try to follow the rhythm of the songs they know.
+
+One day, it is very hot outside. Sara and Ben are thirsty. They go to the kitchen to get some water. They see a big jug on the table. It is full of lemonade. Sara and Ben love lemonade. They want to drink some.
+
+"Can we have some lemonade, please?" Sara asks her mom.
+
+"Sure, but only a little. It is for the party later. Don't fill your cups too much," her mom says.
+
+Sara and Ben nod. They take two cups and pour some lemonade. They drink it slowly. It is cold and sweet. They feel better.
+
+They go back to the living room to play music. But they forget to put the jug back on the table. They leave it on the floor.
+
+Their dog, Spot, comes in. He is also hot and thirsty. He sees the jug. He smells the lemonade. He likes it. He licks the jug. He knocks it over. The lemonade spills on the floor.
+
+Sara and Ben hear the noise. They run to the kitchen. They see the mess. They see Spot. They are angry.
+
+"Bad dog! Bad dog! You spilled the lemonade!" Sara yells.
+
+"Go away! Go away! You ruined the party!" Ben shouts.
+
+Spot feels sad. He whines. He runs away.
+
+Sara and Ben look at each other. They feel sorry. They love Spot. He is their friend. He did not mean to do it.
+
+They go to find him. They hug him. They say sorry.
+
+"It's okay, Spot. We are not mad at you. We still love you," Sara says.
+
+"Let's clean up the mess. Then we can play music again. Maybe you can join us. You can bark to the rhythm," Ben says.
+
+Spot wags his tail. He barks happily. He follows them.
+
+They clean up the mess. They put the jug back on the table. They fill it with more lemonade. They hope their mom will not notice.
+
+They go back to the living room. They play music. They have fun. They share the rhythm. They are a happy family.
+Lily likes to play with clay. She can make shapes with her hands and tools. She likes the texture of the clay. It is soft and smooth and sticky. She makes a ball, a snake, a star and a flower.
+
+She puts her clay shapes on a tray and leaves them in the sun. She wants them to dry and become hard. She goes to play with her doll and her teddy. She forgets about the clay for a while.
+
+A bird sees the clay shapes on the tray. It thinks they are food. It flies down and pecks at the ball. It does not like the taste. It pecks at the snake. It does not like the texture. It pecks at the star. It does not like the shape. It pecks at the flower. It likes the color.
+
+Lily hears the bird. She is alert. She runs to the tray and sees the bird. She shouts, "Go away, bird! That is not food! That is my clay!" The bird is scared. It flies away. Lily looks at her clay shapes. They are dry and hard, but they have holes and marks from the bird. She is sad. She cries.
+
+Her mom comes and sees what happened. She hugs Lily and says, "Don't cry, sweetie. You can make new clay shapes. Or you can paint the ones you have and make them pretty. The bird did not mean to hurt them. It was just hungry and curious." Lily stops crying. She thinks for a moment. She says, "OK, mom. I will paint them. Maybe the bird will like them more then." She smiles. She goes to get some paint and a brush. She is happy.
+Lily was a little girl who loved to eat steak. She liked it when it was red and juicy and had a lot of flavor. She always hoped that her mom would make steak for dinner, but sometimes they had other things like soup or pasta or fish.
+
+One day, Lily came home from school and smelled something good in the kitchen. She ran to see what it was and saw her mom taking a big pan of steak out of the oven. Lily's eyes lit up and she clapped her hands.
+
+"Mom, mom, is that steak for me?" she asked excitedly.
+
+"Yes, honey, it is. I made it just for you, because I know how much you love it. But you have to wait a little bit, because it's very hot and you don't want to burn your tongue," her mom said.
+
+Lily nodded and sat down at the table. She waited patiently for her mom to cut a piece of steak for her and put it on her plate. She picked up her fork and knife and was about to take a bite, when she heard a knock on the door.
+
+Her mom went to open the door and saw a man standing there with a big bag. He was their neighbor, Mr. Lee, and he looked very sad.
+
+"Hello, Mrs. Smith. I'm sorry to bother you, but I have a problem. My car broke down and I need to go to the mechanic, but I don't have any money. Can you please lend me some? I'll pay you back as soon as I can," he said.
+
+Lily's mom looked at him and felt sorry for him. She knew he was a good person and he had a family to take care of. She wanted to help him, but she didn't have much money either. She looked around the house and saw the only thing she had that was valuable: the steak.
+
+She hesitated for a moment, then she said, "Mr. Lee, I don't have any money, but I have something else that you can have. You can take this steak and sell it or eat it with your family. I hope it will help you a little bit."
+
+She took the pan of steak and gave it to him. He thanked her profusely and took the steak. He said he would never forget her kindness and he would pay her back as soon as possible.
+
+Lily watched the whole scene and felt a mix of emotions. She was sad that she couldn't eat the steak, but she was also proud of her mom for being so generous and caring. She realized that sometimes it was more important to share than to have. She hugged her mom and said, "Mom, you are the best. I love you."
+
+Her mom smiled and hugged her back. She said, "I love you too, Lily. And don't worry, we'll have steak another day. But today, we have something better: we have each other."
+
+The moral of the story is: Sharing is caring.
+Ben was hungry. He wanted to eat soup. He saw a big pot on the stove. He climbed on a chair and looked inside. The soup was green and brown. It had eyes and teeth. It was ugly soup.
+
+Ben was scared. He wanted to run away. But the soup saw him. It jumped out of the pot. It opened its mouth. It bit Ben's arm. Ben screamed. The soup was not soup. It was a monster.
+
+Mom heard Ben scream. She ran to the kitchen. She saw the monster and Ben. She was angry. She grabbed a spoon and hit the monster. The monster let go of Ben. It hissed and ran away. Mom hugged Ben. She looked at his arm. It was bleeding. She took him to the hospital. Ben was sad. He did not like ugly soup. He did not like monsters. He did not like the hospital. He had a bad day.
+Lily was a gifted girl who loved to read and write. She had many books and papers in her room. She liked to zip them in her backpack and take them to school. She wanted to share her stories with her friends.
+
+One day, she made a salad for lunch. She put lettuce, tomatoes, cheese and dressing in a bowl. She thought it looked yummy. She zipped it in a container and put it in her backpack. She was ready to go.
+
+At school, she met her friend Ben. Ben had a sandwich and a cookie for lunch. He saw Lily's salad and said, "What is that? It looks gross. Why don't you eat normal food like me?"
+
+Lily felt sad and angry. She said, "This is my salad. It is good for me. I like it. You should not say mean things about my food. You should try new things. Maybe you would like them too."
+
+Ben shrugged and said, "No, thanks. I only like what I know. You are weird. You always have strange things in your backpack. Books and papers and salads. You are not like other kids."
+
+Lily felt hurt and lonely. She did not want to talk to Ben anymore. She ate her salad by herself and wished she had someone who understood her.
+
+The next day, she met a new girl in her class. Her name was Mia. Mia had a backpack too. She opened it and showed Lily what was inside. Lily saw books and papers and a salad. She smiled and said, "Wow, you have the same things as me. Do you like to read and write and eat salads?"
+
+Mia nodded and said, "Yes, I do. I think they are fun and healthy. I like to learn new things and try new foods. Do you want to be my friend?"
+
+Lily nodded and said, "Yes, I do. You are like me. You are gifted and kind. You are not weird. You are wonderful."
+
+They hugged and shared their books and papers and salads. They became best friends. They learned that being different is not bad. It is good. It makes you special and interesting. It helps you find true friends who like you for who you are.
+Lily was a spoiled girl who always wanted new things. She had many toys, books, and dresses, but she was never happy. She always asked her mom and dad for more.
+
+One day, she saw a beautiful dress in a store window. It was pink and shiny, with flowers and ribbons. She wanted it very much. She ran to her mom and said, "Mom, mom, please buy me that dress! It is the prettiest dress ever!"
+
+Her mom looked at the dress and shook her head. "No, Lily, you have enough dresses. You don't need another one. Besides, that dress is very expensive. We have to save money for other things."
+
+Lily was very angry and sad. She cried and stamped her feet. She said, "But I want it, I want it, I want it! You are a bad mom! You don't love me!"
+
+Her mom was very hurt and disappointed. She said, "Lily, that is not true. I love you very much, but I also want you to learn to be grateful and content. You have so many things that other children don't have. You should share and care for them, not ask for more. That is how you can improve your heart and be a good girl."
+
+Lily did not listen. She ran away from her mom and hid in a corner. She sulked and pouted. She did not want to improve. She only wanted the dress.
+
+But then, she saw something that made her stop and think. She saw a little girl who was wearing a torn and dirty dress. The girl had no shoes, no toys, no books. She had nothing. But she was smiling and playing with a stick and a stone. She looked happy and kind.
+
+Lily felt a strange feeling in her chest. She felt sorry for the girl, but also curious. She wondered how the girl could be happy with so little. She decided to go and talk to her.
+
+She walked to the girl and said, "Hi, what is your name?"
+
+The girl looked up and said, "Hi, I'm Anna. What is yours?"
+
+"I'm Lily. Can I play with you?"
+
+"Sure, you can. Do you want to make a house with this stick and stone?"
+
+Lily nodded. She sat down and helped Anna make a house. They talked and laughed. They had fun.
+
+Lily forgot about the dress. She realized that she did not need it to be happy. She realized that she had so much more than Anna. She realized that she had been spoiled and selfish. She felt ashamed and sorry.
+
+She said to Anna, "Anna, you are very nice and brave. You have so little, but you are happy. How do you do that?"
+
+Anna smiled and said, "I do that because I have something that you can't buy with money. I have love. I have my mom and dad, who work hard and take care of me. I have my friends, who share and help me. I have God, who gives me hope and joy. I have love, and that is enough."
+
+Lily felt a warm and soft feeling in her chest. She felt happy and grateful. She said to Anna, "Anna, you are very wise and good. You have taught me something that I did not know. I have love, too, but I did not appreciate it. I was spoiled and rude. I want to improve. I want to be like you."
+
+Anna hugged Lily and said, "Lily, you are very sweet and honest. You have learned something that is very important. You can improve. You can be a good girl. I am happy to be your friend."
+
+Lily hugged Anna back and said, "Anna, you are my friend, too. And I have something for you. I want to give you one of my dresses. You can choose any one you like. They are all pretty and clean. You deserve it."
+
+Anna was surprised and happy. She said, "Lily, you are very generous and kind. You don't have to do that. But I thank you very much. I will choose one dress, and I will cherish it. You have made me very happy."
+
+Lily and Anna went to Lily's house. Lily showed Anna her dresses. Anna chose a blue one, with stars and buttons. She put it on and twirled. She looked beautiful and radiant.
+
+Lily smiled and clapped. She said, "Anna, you look wonderful. I am glad you like the dress. And I am glad I met you. You have changed me. You have made me a better person."
+
+Anna smiled and hugged Lily. She said, "Lily, you are wonderful, too. I am glad you gave me the dress. And I am glad I met you. You have
+Ben and Lily liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but their favorite was the big tank. The tank was green and had a long gun. They pretended to be soldiers and drove the tank around the room.
+
+One day, the tank broke. The gun fell off and the wheels did not move. Ben and Lily were sad. They tried to fix the tank, but they could not. They asked their mom for help.
+
+"Mom, can you heal our tank?" Ben said.
+
+"I'm sorry, honey, but I don't think I can. The tank is very old and damaged. Maybe we can buy a new one later." Mom said.
+
+"But we love this tank! It's our best toy!" Lily said.
+
+Mom hugged them and said, "I know, sweeties, but sometimes things break and we have to let them go. How about we have some lunch instead? I made some soup for you."
+
+Ben and Lily nodded and followed Mom to the kitchen. They smelled the soup and it smelled good. They sat down and took a spoonful of soup. But as soon as they tasted it, they made a face.
+
+"Mom, this soup is spicy!" Ben said.
+
+"It hurts my tongue!" Lily said.
+
+Mom smiled and said, "Oops, I think I put too much pepper in the soup. I'm sorry, kids. Do you want some water or milk?"
+
+Ben and Lily nodded and drank some water and milk. They felt better and said, "It's okay, Mom. We still love you."
+
+Mom said, "I love you too, my little soldiers. And don't worry, we'll find a way to heal your tank or get a new one soon."
+Lily liked to study books with pictures and words. She liked to learn new things and say them out loud. One day, she found a book about waffles. She saw that waffles were brown and had squares. They looked yummy.
+
+She asked her mom, "Mom, can we make waffles?"
+
+Her mom smiled and said, "Sure, Lily. We can make waffles for breakfast. But we need some ingredients. Do you want to help me?"
+
+Lily nodded and followed her mom to the kitchen. They took out flour, eggs, milk, butter, and syrup. They mixed them in a big bowl. Then they poured some batter into a hot iron. The iron made a beep sound when the waffle was ready.
+
+Lily and her mom put the waffles on a plate. They added some butter and syrup on top. They sat down at the table and ate the waffles. They were warm and sweet and crunchy.
+
+Lily said, "Mom, these are the best waffles ever. They are not fake like the ones in the book. They are real and delicious."
+
+Her mom hugged her and said, "I'm glad you like them, Lily. You are a good helper and a good student. I love you very much."
+Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys. One day, they find a big box in the park. It has a sign that says "Test your strength. Pull the rope and see how strong you are."
+
+Sara and Ben are curious. They want to try the test. Sara goes first. She grabs the rope and pulls hard. She hears a bell ring. She smiles. "I am strong!" she says.
+
+Ben wants to be strong too. He takes the rope and pulls harder. He hears two bells ring. He is happy. "I am stronger!" he says.
+
+Sara and Ben take turns. They pull the rope and hear more bells. They laugh and cheer. They are having fun.
+
+A man comes to the box. He is the owner. He sees Sara and Ben. He is not angry. He is glad. He says "You are brilliant kids. You have passed the test. You can have a prize. Choose a toy from the box."
+
+Sara and Ben are surprised. They are grateful. They look at the box. It has many toys. They pick their favorites. Sara chooses a doll. Ben chooses a car. They thank the man. They hug their toys. They are happy. They have made a new friend.
+Sam and Lily liked to play with blocks. They made big buildings with the blocks. They put windows and doors and roofs on the buildings. They were very proud of their buildings.
+
+One day, a new boy came to play with them. His name was Max. Max did not like to make buildings. He liked to break things. He saw Sam and Lily's buildings and he wanted to break them.
+
+He waited until Sam and Lily were not looking. Then he ran to their buildings and kicked them. The blocks fell down and made a loud noise. Sam and Lily turned around and saw their buildings broken. They were very sad and angry.
+
+They ran to Max and shouted at him. "Why did you break our buildings? That was not nice! You are a bad boy!" Max felt guilty. He knew he did something wrong. But he did not say sorry. He ran away.
+
+Sam and Lily tried to fix their buildings. But some blocks were missing or broken. They could not make them as good as before. They cried and hugged each other. They wished Max never came to play with them. They did not want to see him again.
+Anna was a nice girl who loved to help her grandma. Grandma had a cane that she used to walk. Anna liked to hold the cane for grandma when they went to the park.
+
+One day, Anna and grandma met a dog in the park. The dog was big and brown and had a wagging tail. Anna wanted to pet the dog, but grandma said, "Be careful, Anna. We don't know if the dog is friendly or not."
+
+The dog came closer and sniffed Anna and grandma. He licked Anna's hand and wagged his tail more. Anna smiled and said, "He is a nice dog, grandma. Can I pet him?"
+
+Grandma nodded and said, "Yes, you can, Anna. But don't let go of my cane. I need it to stand."
+
+Anna petted the dog and said, "Hello, nice dog. What is your name?" The dog barked and licked Anna's face. Anna giggled and said, "I love you, nice dog. You are so soft and warm."
+
+Grandma smiled and said, "I love you too, Anna. You are so kind and brave." They hugged and thanked the dog for being nice. Then they walked back home with the cane and the dog followed them. They had a new friend.
+One day, a small bear and his mother went to look for honey in the forest. They found a big tree with a hole in it. The small bear smelled the honey inside and wanted to get some.
+
+"Can I go in, mother?" he asked.
+
+"No, my son, it is too dangerous. There may be bees or other animals inside. We can find honey somewhere else," his mother said.
+
+But the small bear did not listen. He decided to go in anyway. He crawled into the hole and saw a lot of honey. He licked his lips and reached for it.
+
+Suddenly, he heard a loud buzz. He turned around and saw a swarm of angry bees. They had seen him and wanted to sting him. The small bear was scared and cried for help.
+
+"Mother, mother, help me!" he shouted.
+
+His mother heard him and ran to the tree. She saw the bees and tried to scare them away. She roared and scratched the tree. Some of the bees flew away, but some stayed and attacked her.
+
+The small bear felt sorry for his mother. He wished he had listened to her. He crawled out of the hole and ran to her side. He hugged her and said, "I'm sorry, mother. I was wrong. I should have obeyed you. You are the best mother in the world."
+
+His mother smiled and licked his fur. She said, "It's okay, my son. I'm glad you are safe. I love you very much. But next time, please be careful and don't go where you don't belong."
+
+The small bear nodded and said, "I promise, mother. I will be a good bear from now on."
+
+They left the tree and the bees behind. They found another place where they could get some honey without trouble. They ate the honey and enjoyed the rest of the day. They learned a lesson and were happy.
+Tom and Lily were playing soccer in the park. They liked to kick the ball and run after it. They also liked to count how many times they could score a goal.
+
+"Look, I scored again!" Tom said, pointing to the net. "That's four for me and two for you!"
+
+Lily frowned. She wanted to score more goals. She tried to kick the ball harder, but it went too far and landed in a puddle.
+
+"Oh no, my ball!" Lily cried. She ran to get it, but her shoes got wet and muddy.
+
+Tom followed her and saw the puddle. He also saw the dark clouds in the sky.
+
+"Lily, we have to go home. It's going to rain soon," he said.
+
+Lily looked up and saw the clouds too. She felt sad. She wanted to play more soccer.
+
+"But I want to score more goals," she said. "Can we play a little longer?"
+
+Tom shook his head. He heard a loud thunder.
+
+"No, we can't. It's not safe to play in the rain. Come on, let's go home. Maybe we can play again tomorrow, when the sky is clear," he said.
+
+He took Lily's hand and they ran to their bikes. They put on their helmets and rode home as fast as they could. They got home just before the rain started to fall. They were glad they were safe and dry. They put their ball and shoes in the garage and went inside.
+
+"Maybe tomorrow the sky will be clear and we can play soccer again," Lily said.
+
+"Maybe," Tom said. "But you know what? I think you're a great soccer player, even if you didn't score as many goals as me today."
+
+Lily smiled. She felt happy. She hugged Tom and said, "Thank you. You're a great soccer player too. And you're a good brother."
+
+They went to the kitchen and had some cookies and milk. They talked about their soccer game and other things. They didn't mind the rain anymore. They had each other.
+Anna and Ben are friends who like to play with blocks. They build towers and houses and cars with the blocks. Sometimes they use stickers to make symbols on their blocks, like stars and hearts and letters.
+
+One day, Anna builds a big tower with many blocks. She puts a sticker with a star symbol on the top block. She is very happy with her tower. She shows it to Ben and says, "Look at my tower! It is so tall and has a star symbol. Do you like it?"
+
+Ben looks at Anna's tower and feels envious. He wants to have a tower like that, too. He thinks Anna's star symbol is better than his heart symbol. He says, "Your tower is not so good. My tower is better. It has a heart symbol. Hearts are nicer than stars."
+
+Anna feels sad and angry. She does not like Ben's words. She says, "No, your tower is not better. My tower is better. Stars are nicer than hearts. And my tower is taller than yours."
+
+Ben feels more envious and angry. He does not like Anna's words. He says, "No, no, no! Your tower is not better. My tower is better. And I will show you!" He pushes Anna's tower and makes it fall down. The blocks and the star symbol scatter on the floor.
+
+Anna cries and shouts, "Ben, you are mean! You broke my tower! You are not my friend anymore!"
+
+Ben feels sorry and scared. He sees Anna's tears and hears her shout. He says, "Anna, I am sorry. I was wrong. I should not have pushed your tower. I was envious of your star symbol. Can you forgive me? Can we be friends again?"
+
+Anna stops crying and looks at Ben. She sees his sorry face and hears his words. She says, "Ben, I forgive you. You were wrong, but you said sorry. I was also wrong. I should not have said your tower was not good. I was proud of my star symbol. Can we share our symbols? Can we build a new tower together?"
+
+Ben smiles and nods. He says, "Anna, thank you. You are kind. I like your star symbol and you can have my heart symbol. We can share our symbols. We can build a new tower together. We are friends again."
+
+Anna and Ben hug and smile. They pick up their blocks and their symbols. They build a new tower together. They put a star symbol and a heart symbol on the top block. They are very happy with their tower. They show it to each other and say, "Look at our tower! It is so tall and has a star and a heart symbol. We like it!"
+Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play in the park with their mom and dad. One day, they see a big balloon in the sky. It is red and shiny and has a basket. Sara and Ben want to go in the balloon and fly high.
+
+Mom and dad say yes, they can go in the balloon. They buy tickets and wait in a line. When it is their turn, they climb in the basket with mom and dad. The man who drives the balloon turns on a fire. The fire makes the balloon go up, up, up.
+
+Sara and Ben are happy. They see the trees and the houses and the cars get smaller and smaller. They see the clouds and the birds and the sun. They feel the wind and the air. The air is good for them. It has oxygen. Oxygen helps them breathe and live.
+
+But then, the balloon goes too high. The air gets thin and cold. Sara and Ben feel sick and cold. They can't breathe well. They need more oxygen. Mom and dad are scared. They tell the man to go down, down, down.
+
+The man tries to go down, but the fire is not working. The balloon is stuck. Mom and dad hug Sara and Ben. They tell them they love them. They tell them they will be okay. They support them. Support means to help and to be kind.
+
+The balloon is in trouble. But then, a big bird sees the balloon. It is a long bird. It has a long neck and a long beak and long wings. It is a crane. The crane is smart and strong. It flies to the balloon and grabs the rope with its beak. It pulls the balloon down, down, down.
+
+The balloon lands in the park. Sara and Ben are safe. They can breathe again. They have oxygen. They are happy. They thank the crane. The crane nods and flies away. Mom and dad are happy too. They hug Sara and Ben. They say they are proud of them. They say they are brave and strong. They go home and have ice cream. The end.
+Lily and Max were playing in the backyard. They liked to pretend they were builders and make things with sticks and stones. Lily had a big idea. She wanted to make a house for her doll.
+
+"Max, help me make a house," she said. "We need to measure the sticks and cut them."
+
+"Okay, Lily," Max said. "How do we measure?"
+
+Lily looked around and saw a laundry basket. She ran to get it. "We can use this," she said. "It is big and has lines. We can put the sticks next to the lines and see how long they are."
+
+Max nodded. He thought Lily was very smart. He helped her carry the laundry basket to their building spot. They put the sticks next to the lines and broke them with their hands. They made four walls and a roof. They used stones to hold them together.
+
+"Look, Max, we did it!" Lily said. "We made a house. It is very pretty and cozy."
+
+She put her doll inside the house and gave her a blanket. She was very happy. Max was happy too. He liked to make things with Lily. They were good friends.
+
+They heard their mom calling them. "Lily, Max, time for lunch!" she said.
+
+They ran to the house. They left their laundry basket and their stick house in the backyard. They did not know that their cat saw them. He was curious. He wanted to see what they made. He jumped into the laundry basket and played with the sticks. He knocked down the house. He did not care. He was having fun. He was a popular cat. Everyone liked him. Even Lily and Max.
+Tom was a lonely boy. He had no friends to play with. He liked to dig in the sand with his bucket and shovel. He made castles and holes and bridges. But he wished he had someone to share his fun with.
+
+One day, he saw a girl sitting on a bench. She had a bucket too, but it was empty. She looked sad and bored. Tom wanted to talk to her, but he was shy. He wondered if she would like to play with him.
+
+He took a deep breath and walked over to her. He smiled and said, "Hi, I'm Tom. What's your name?"
+
+The girl looked up and said, "I'm Lily. I'm new here. I don't know anyone."
+
+Tom said, "Do you want to play with me? I have a shovel and a bucket. We can dig in the sand and make things."
+
+Lily nodded and said, "Yes, please. That sounds fun. Thank you for asking me."
+
+Tom and Lily went to the sandpit and started to play. They filled their buckets with sand and dumped them out. They made a big castle with towers and walls. They dug a moat around it and filled it with water. They had a lot of fun.
+
+Tom was happy. He had found a friend. He said to Lily, "You are very nice. I like you. You can have my shovel. I value your friendship more than my shovel."
+
+Lily was touched. She said to Tom, "You are very kind. I like you too. You can have my bucket. I value your friendship more than my bucket."
+
+They hugged and smiled. They shared their bucket and shovel. They were not lonely anymore. They had each other.
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they went to the lake with their mom and dad. The lake was big and blue, and had many fish and ducks.
+
+Tom and Lily saw a big rock near the water. They wanted to sit on it and watch the lake. But the rock was too high for them to climb. They asked their mom and dad for help, but they said no.
+
+"You are too small to sit on that rock," mom said. "It is too tough for you. You might fall and hurt yourself."
+
+"But we want to sit on the rock!" Tom and Lily said. "We are not scared. We are tough too!"
+
+Mom and dad shook their heads and went to sit on a bench. Tom and Lily looked at each other and made a plan. They found a stick and a rope and tied them together. They threw the stick over the rock and pulled the rope. They tried to climb up the rope, but it was too slippery and thin. They slid down and landed on the grass.
+
+"Ouch!" Tom and Lily said. They had scratches and bruises on their arms and legs. They started to cry.
+
+Mom and dad heard them and ran to them. They hugged them and checked their wounds. They put some bandages and kisses on them.
+
+"I'm sorry, mom and dad," Tom said. "We were silly. We should have listened to you."
+
+"I'm sorry, too," Lily said. "We were not tough. We were foolish. We should have been careful."
+
+Mom and dad smiled and said, "It's okay, Tom and Lily. We love you. We are glad you are safe. You learned a lesson today. Sometimes, being tough means knowing your limits and respecting them. And sometimes, being tough means asking for help when you need it."
+
+Tom and Lily nodded and said, "We understand, mom and dad. Thank you for helping us. Can we still watch the lake?"
+
+"Of course, you can," mom and dad said. "But let's sit on the bench, not on the rock. It's safer and more comfortable."
+
+Tom and Lily agreed and followed their mom and dad. They sat on the bench and watched the lake. They saw the fish and the ducks and the sun. They felt happy and peaceful. They learned to be tough in a good way.
+Tom and Sam were brothers who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big billboard near their house. It had a picture of a jolly clown and some words they could not read. They wanted to go closer and see what it was.
+
+"Let's go, Sam!" Tom said. "Maybe the clown will give us a balloon or a candy."
+
+"No, Tom," Sam said. "Mom said we should not go near the road. It is dangerous. There are cars and trucks that can hurt us."
+
+Tom did not listen to Sam. He did not accept what Sam said. He ran across the street to the billboard. Sam followed him, afraid that Tom would get in trouble.
+
+When they reached the billboard, they saw that the clown was not real. It was just a painting. There was no balloon or candy. They felt sad and cheated.
+
+"See, Tom?" Sam said. "This was a bad idea. We should go back home now."
+
+But before they could turn around, they heard a loud honk. A big truck was coming fast. It did not see them. They were too small and the billboard was too big. They tried to run away, but it was too late. The truck hit them and they fell to the ground. They did not get up. They did not play anymore. They were gone.
+Tom and Anna were twins who liked to play together. One day, they saw a big melon in the kitchen. They wanted to eat it, but their mom said no. She said it was for dinner and they had to wait.
+
+But Tom and Anna were hungry and curious. They decided to sneak into the kitchen and cut the melon. They used a knife and a spoon and made a big mess. They ate some of the melon and threw the rest on the floor. They thought it was fun and creative.
+
+Their mom heard the noise and came to see what was going on. She was very angry when she saw the kitchen. She said, "Tom and Anna, what did you do? You wasted the melon and made a big mess. You did not listen to me. You are very naughty. I have to punish you."
+
+She took away their toys and sent them to their room. She said, "You have to stay in your room until dinner. You have to think about what you did and say sorry. You have to help me clean the kitchen later. You have to learn to respect the food and the rules."
+
+Tom and Anna felt sorry and sad. They realized they did a bad thing. They said to each other, "We are sorry, mom. We will not do it again. We will be good and help you. We love you, mom." They hugged each other and waited for dinner. They hoped their mom would forgive them.
+Tom is a cop. He likes to help people and catch bad guys. He wears a blue suit and a hat with a star. He has a car with lights and a siren. He thinks his job is fun.

+Some kids think Tom is cool. They ask him many questions. They want to be cops when they grow up. They say thank you to Tom. They give him hugs and high fives.
+
+But one kid thinks Tom is boring. His name is Ben. He does not listen to Tom. He does not ask any questions. He does not try on the hat. He does not say thank you. He yawns and rolls his eyes.
+
+Tom sees Ben. He feels sad. He wants Ben to like him. He wants Ben to learn. He goes to Ben and says, "Hi, Ben. Do you like being a cop?"
+
+Ben shakes his head. He says, "No, I don't. Being a cop is boring. I want to be a pirate. Pirates are fun. They have swords and treasure and ships. They do whatever they want. They are not boring like cops."
+
+Tom smiles. He says, "I see. Pirates are fun, but they are also bad. They steal and fight and break the rules. They make people sad and scared. They are not nice like cops. Cops are good. They help and protect and follow the rules. They make people happy and safe. They are not boring like pirates."
+
+Ben thinks for a moment. He says, "Really? I didn't know that. Maybe being a cop is not so boring. Maybe being a pirate is not so fun. Maybe I can learn more about being a cop. Can I try on your hat?"
+
+Tom nods. He says, "Sure, Ben. You can try on my hat. You can also learn more about being a cop. You can ask me anything you want. I will be happy to answer. Maybe you will like being a cop after all."
+
+Ben smiles. He says, "Thank you, Tom. You are a nice cop. You are not boring. You are fun. Maybe I will be a cop when I grow up. Or maybe I will be something else. But I will always be good and follow the rules. And I will always learn new things."
+
+Tom hugs Ben. He says, "You are welcome, Ben. You are a smart kid. You are not boring. You are fun. You can be anything you want when you grow up. But I hope you will always be good and follow the rules. And I hope you will always learn new things."

+
+But Lily does not wake up. She turns away and pulls the blanket over her head. She says, "No, Tom, no! I want to sleep more! Go away!"
+
+Tom is sad. He does not want to play alone. He does not want to make Lily angry. He is patient. He waits for Lily to wake up. He looks at the sun and the sky. He sees a bird and a cloud. He sings a song to himself.

+
+One day, they see something green poking out of the dirt. They run to the hole and dig carefully. They see the bulb. It is not bad. It is healthy. It has a green stem and a big bud. Ben and Lily are happy. They think the bud will open soon and show them a beautiful flower.
+
+They wait and wait. They look every day. The bud grows bigger and bigger. It is almost ready to open. Ben and Lily are excited. They wonder what color the flower will be.
+
+One morning, they hear a loud noise. They run to the garden and see the bud. It is open. But it is not a flower. It is a rocket. It has a red nose and a blue tail. It has fire coming out of it. It is flying into the sky. Ben and Lily are amazed. They watch the rocket go higher and higher. They see it make a big boom and a bright spark. They clap and cheer. They have a rocket bulb. They have the best bulb ever.

+
+As they walked through the fog, they saw a pond. The pond was frozen! Lily had never seen anything like it before. She tried to touch the ice, but it was too cold. Her mommy told her that the pond was frozen because it was so cold outside.

+
+Timmy wanted to touch the dolphin, so he tried to pull it towards him. But the dolphin was too strong and swam away. Timmy was sad, but the dolphin came back and let him touch its smooth skin. Timmy was so happy and thanked the dolphin for being his friend.

+

+
+The insect replied, "Yes, I hurt my wing and can't fly. Can you help me?"
+
+Lily said, "Of course! Let me clean your wing and repair it." So, she gently cleaned the insect's wing with a wet cloth and then used a band-aid to repair it.

+
+Timmy thought about it and realized that he didn't have any. So, he asked his mom to take him to the toy store to buy some. From that day on, Timmy played with his new figures and learned that being a hero doesn't always mean having superpowers. It can also mean helping others in real life.

+
+Lily was so excited and asked her mom, "Can we ride the ostrich, please?" Her mom replied, "No, we can't ride it. But we can prepare some food for it." 
+

+

+
+"No, thank you. I don't like juice. Juice is too sweet and sticky. I like milk. Milk is good and healthy. Do you know why I am bald?" Sam asked.
+

+"Because I drink so much milk. Milk makes my hair fall out. But I don't care. I like being bald. Bald is cool and smooth. Do you know why you have long hair?" Sam asked.
+
+"No, why?" Lily asked.
+
+"Because you drink so much juice. Juice makes your hair grow. But you should care. You don't want to have too long hair. Too long hair is bad and messy. You should drink some milk and cut your hair." Sam said.
+
+"That's not true. Juice doesn't make my hair grow. And I don't want to cut my hair. I like having long hair. Long hair is pretty and soft. You should drink some juice and grow some hair." Lily said.
+
+They started to argue and shout. They did not listen to each other. They did not want to share or try something new. They were not nice to each other.

+Then, they heard a loud noise. It was a dog. A big dog with fur and teeth. The dog ran towards them. It wanted to play. But Sam and Lily were scared. They did not like dogs. They did not know what to do.
+
+They saw a sock. A big sock with stripes and holes. It was on the ground. It was dirty and smelly. They did not like the sock. But they had an idea.
+
+They grabbed the sock and threw it to the dog. The dog saw the sock and chased it. It caught the sock and ran away. It was happy. It liked the sock.
+
+Sam and Lily were relieved. They were safe. They looked at each other. They smiled.
+
+"Thank you for helping me with the dog." Sam said.
+
+"Thank you for helping me with the dog." Lily said.
+
+"You're welcome. I'm sorry for being mean to you. You can drink whatever you want. I don't mind." Sam said.
+
+"You're welcome. I'm sorry for being mean to you. You can be bald if you want. I don't mind." Lily said.
+
+They hugged. They were friends. They learned a lesson. They learned to respect and appreciate each other. They learned to be kind and brave. They learned to drink and be happy.
+One day, a little girl named Mia found a peanut on the floor. She picked it up and looked at it. It was brown and hard and had a crack in the middle. She wondered what was inside.
+
+She asked her big brother, Leo, what it was. He told her it was a peanut and that she could use it to make a snack. He said she had to peel off the skin and break it open to get the nut. He showed her how to do it.
+
+Mia was curious and excited. She peeled off the skin and broke the peanut open. But instead of a nut, she saw something shiny and round. It was a mysterious bead. It sparkled in the light and had different colors.
+
+Mia gasped and showed it to Leo. He was surprised and amazed. He said he had never seen anything like it. He asked her where she found the peanut. She told him it was on the floor.

+
+Their mom laughed and hugged them. She said they were very lucky to find such a special peanut. She said it was a gift from someone who loved them. She said they should always be grateful and share their gifts with others.
+
+Mia and Leo nodded and smiled. They agreed to share their bead with each other. They put it on a string and made a necklace. They wore it around their necks and felt happy.
+
+The moral of the story is: Be grateful and share your gifts with others. You never know what surprises you might find.
+Ben and Lily were hungry. They wanted a snack. Mom gave them a bag of peanuts. "You can share these," she said. "But be careful. Some peanuts are hard to open."
+
+Ben and Lily sat on the floor. They took some peanuts from the bag. Ben found a peanut that was easy to open. He cracked it with his fingers and ate the nuts inside. "Mmm, this is good," he said.
+
+Lily tried to open a peanut too. But her peanut was very hard. She pushed and pulled and twisted, but it did not open. She felt sad. She wanted to eat a peanut too. "I can't open it," she said. "It's too hard."
+
+Ben saw that Lily was sad. He wanted to help her. He looked at her peanut. It was bigger than his. It had a funny shape. He had an idea. He took a hammer from his toy box. He put the peanut on the floor. He hit it with the hammer. Crack! The peanut opened.
+
+Lily was surprised. She saw the nuts inside the peanut. They looked different from Ben's nuts. They were bigger and darker. She picked one up and tasted it. It was sweet and crunchy. She liked it a lot. "Wow, this is amazing," she said.
+
+Ben was curious. He tasted the other nut. He liked it too. It was amazing. He looked at the peanut shell. It had a label on it. It said "chocolate peanut". He showed it to Lily. "Look, this is a chocolate peanut," he said. "It's a special peanut. That's why it was hard to open."
+
+Lily smiled. She was happy. She thanked Ben for helping her. She gave him a hug. They shared the chocolate peanut. They agreed that it was the best peanut ever. They ate some more peanuts from the bag. They had a fun snack. Mom was proud of them. She said they were good at sharing. She gave them a glass of milk. They drank it and felt full. They were happy.
+Lily was happy. She had a new doll. The doll had a white dress and long hair. Lily named her doll Anna. She wanted to play with Anna all day.
+
+Lily took Anna to the kitchen. She saw a big bowl on the table. It had flour and eggs and milk in it. Lily wanted to make a cake. She asked her mom, "Can I stir the cake, mom?"
+
+Mom smiled and said, "Yes, you can stir the cake, Lily. But be careful. Don't make a mess." She gave Lily a wooden spoon. Lily held Anna with one hand and the spoon with the other. She stirred the cake slowly and gently.
+
+Anna watched Lily stir the cake. She thought Lily was a good cook. She said, "You are making a yummy cake, Lily. Can I have a bite?"
+
+Lily heard Anna talk. She was surprised and happy. She said, "You can talk, Anna? You are a magic doll. I love you, Anna. You can have a bite of the cake when it is done."

+
+His dad came home from work. He saw Tom with his crayons and smiled. He liked Tom's pictures. He asked Tom, "Can I see what you printed?" Tom showed him his pictures. He was proud of them. He said, "Look, dad, I printed cars, dogs, flowers and stars!"
+
+His dad looked at the pictures. He saw that Tom had printed on his post. He saw that some of the post were bills, letters and cards. He saw that some of the post were important and new. He was not happy. He said, "Tom, you can't print on my post. These are not old and boring. These are for me. You have to ask me before you take my things."
+
+Tom did not understand. He thought his dad liked his pictures. He thought he was helping his dad. He said, "But dad, I wanted to make you happy. I wanted to give you my pictures. I thought you didn't need the post."
+
+His dad sighed. He hugged Tom. He said, "I'm sorry, Tom. I know you wanted to make me happy. I love your pictures. But you have to be careful with the post. Some of the post are important and need to be read. Some of the post are from people who love us and want to say hello. We can't print on them. We have to keep them safe."
+
+Tom nodded. He said, "I'm sorry, dad. I didn't know. I won't print on your post again. Can we print on some other paper?"
+
+His dad smiled. He said, "Of course, Tom. We can print on some other paper. I have some paper in the drawer. We can print together. How about we print some thank you cards for the people who sent us post?"
+
+Tom liked that idea. He said, "Yes, dad. Let's print some thank you cards. That will make them happy. And maybe they will send us more post."

+
+One day, they decide to play a new game. They make a nation with blocks. A nation is a big place with many people and things. Ben and Mia each have their own nation. They put a flag on their nation. Ben's flag is red and blue. Mia's flag is yellow and green.
+
+They make rules for their game. They say that they can trade blocks with each other, or they can try to take blocks from each other. They say that the one who has the most blocks at the end wins. They shake hands and start.
+
+Ben and Mia trade blocks sometimes. They are fair and kind. But sometimes they also try to take blocks from each other. They are sneaky and fast. They laugh and shout. They have a lot of fun.
+
+But then, something happens. Ben's nation falls down. The blocks crash and roll. Ben is sad. He says that he can't play anymore. He says that he can't win.
+
+Mia sees Ben's sad face. She feels sorry for him. She remembers that he is her friend. She thinks that winning is not the most important thing. She thinks that being reliable is more important. Reliable means that you help your friend when they need you.
+
+So Mia does something nice. She gives some of her blocks to Ben. She helps him to build his nation again. She says that they can share the blocks and the flags. She says that they can both win.
+
+Ben smiles. He thanks Mia. He says that she is a good friend. He says that she is reliable. He hugs her.
+
+They play some more. They make their nations bigger and better. They are happy. They win together.
+Lily and Ben are friends who like to play music. Lily has a flute that makes pretty sounds. Ben has a drum that makes loud sounds. They like to play together, but sometimes they want to be the best.
+
+One day, they decide to have a contest. They want to see who can play their instrument better. They ask their mom to be the judge. Mom says okay and sits on the couch.
+
+Lily goes first. She plays her flute very fast and high. She tries to make the most sounds she can. She thinks she is doing great. She looks at Ben and smiles.
+
+Ben goes next. He plays his drum very hard and low. He tries to make the most noise he can. He thinks he is doing better. He looks at Lily and frowns.
+
+Mom hears both of them. She claps her hands and says, "Good job, Lily and Ben! You both played very well. But you know what? Music is not a contest. Music is a way to have fun and share feelings. You don't have to be the best. You just have to enjoy it. Why don't you try to play together and see what happens?"
+
+Lily and Ben look at each other. They feel a little silly. They say sorry to each other and hug. Then they pick up their instruments and start to play together. They listen to each other and try to make nice sounds. They hear how their flute and drum sound good together. They smile and laugh. They have fun.
+
+Mom hears them and smiles too. She is happy that they learned a lesson. She thinks they are both wonderful. She loves them very much.
+Sara liked to help her mom make bread. She liked to touch the soft dough and watch it rise in the big bowl. She liked to smell the bread when it came out of the oven.
+
+One day, Sara wanted to make bread by herself. She took some dough from the fridge and put it in a small bowl. She put the bowl on the window sill, where the sun was shining. She thought the sun would make the dough rise faster.
+
+She went to play with her toys and forgot about the dough. After a while, her mom came into the kitchen and saw the bowl on the window sill. She was surprised and worried.
+
+"Sara, what is this?" she asked.

+Sara ran to the kitchen and saw the dough. It had risen so much that it spilled over the bowl and onto the window sill. It was sticky and messy.
+
+"I made bread, mom!" Sara said proudly.
+
+"Sara, this is not how you make bread. You can't leave the dough in the sun. It will spoil and make you sick. You have to follow the recipe and use the oven. You are ignorant about bread making." her mom said.
+
+Sara felt sad and ashamed. She didn't know she did something wrong. She wanted to make bread like her mom.
+
+"I'm sorry, mom. I didn't know. I wanted to help you. Can you teach me how to make bread?" she asked.
+
+Her mom sighed and hugged her. She was not angry, but she wanted Sara to learn.
+
+"Of course, Sara. I will teach you how to make bread. But you have to listen to me and follow the instructions. Bread making is not easy, but it is fun and rewarding. Come, let's clean up this mess and start over." she said.
+
+Sara smiled and nodded. She was happy to learn from her mom. She hoped to make good bread someday.
+Lily and Max were best friends. They liked to play with toys and draw pictures. One day, they found a big box in the garage. They decided to make a rocket with the box. They used crayons, stickers and tape to decorate the rocket. They cut out a window and a door. They were very proud of their rocket.
+
+They climbed inside the rocket and pretended to fly to the moon. They counted down from ten and made loud noises. They looked out the window and saw stars and planets. They had a lot of fun in their rocket.
+
+Then, Lily had an idea. She said to Max, "Do you know what astronauts do when they land on the moon?" Max shook his head. He did not know. Lily said, "They kiss!" She leaned over and kissed Max on the cheek. Max was very surprised. He felt his face get hot. He was embarrassed. He did not know what to say.
+
+Lily smiled and said, "That was fun. Do you want to kiss me again?" Max did not answer. He wanted to get out of the rocket. He opened the door and ran away. He did not look back. Lily was confused. She did not understand why Max ran away. She thought he liked her. She felt sad.
+
+She got out of the rocket and followed Max. She saw him hiding behind a tree. She said, "Max, why did you run away? Did I do something wrong?" Max peeked out from behind the tree. He saw Lily's face. She looked sorry. He felt sorry too. He said, "No, you did not do anything wrong. I was just embarrassed. I never kissed anyone before. I did not know what to do." Lily said, "It's okay, Max. I never kissed anyone before either. I just wanted to try. It was not a big deal. You are still my best friend." Max said, "You are still my best friend too, Lily. I'm sorry I ran away. Can we play again?" Lily said, "Yes, of course. Let's go back to our rocket. Maybe we can find some aliens." Max said, "Okay, that sounds fun. But no more kissing, okay?" Lily said, "Okay, no more kissing. Unless you want to." She winked at him. Max laughed. He was not embarrassed anymore. He took Lily's hand and they ran back to their rocket. They had a lot of fun in their rocket. The end.
+Lily was a gifted girl who liked to draw and paint. She had many files with her pictures in them. She liked to show them to her friends and family.
+
+One day, she wanted to wear a special dress for her birthday. She asked her mom to help her find it. Her mom looked in the closet and said, "I have a surprise for you, Lily. Come with me."
+
+She took Lily to the living room, where there was a big box with a bow on it. Lily was excited and curious. She opened the box and saw a beautiful dress with flowers and butterflies on it. She also saw a card that said, "Happy birthday, Lily. We love you. From Grandma and Grandpa."
+
+Lily was so happy that she hugged her mom and said, "Thank you, Mom. Thank you, Grandma and Grandpa. This is the best dress ever. Can I wear it now?"
+
+Her mom smiled and said, "Of course, you can. You look lovely in it. Why don't you show it to your dad and your brother? They are waiting for you in the kitchen. They have a cake for you."
+
+Lily nodded and ran to the kitchen, wearing her new dress. She saw her dad and her brother holding a cake with candles on it. They sang, "Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday, dear Lily, happy birthday to you."
+
+Lily blew out the candles and made a wish. She wished that she could always draw and paint and share her files with her loved ones. She felt very happy and lucky. She had a wonderful family and a wonderful dress. It was a wonderful birthday.
+Sara liked to cook with her mom. They would make yummy things like soup and cake and pizza. Sara had a big cardboard box that she used as her own kitchen. She cut out shapes of food and pots and pans from paper and colored them. She pretended to cook for her stuffed animals and dolls.
+
+One day, Sara wanted to make a surprise for her mom. She found a recipe for cookies in a book and looked at the pictures. She thought she knew what to do. She took some flour and sugar and butter and eggs from the fridge. She mixed them in a big bowl with a spoon. She put some chocolate chips on top. She put the bowl in her cardboard oven and waited.
+
+Mom was in the living room, reading a book. She felt peaceful and happy. She smelled something sweet and nice. She wondered what Sara was doing. She got up and walked to Sara's room. She saw Sara's cardboard kitchen and the bowl in the oven. She smiled and said, "What are you making, Sara?"
+
+Sara heard her mom and jumped out of her box. She was excited and proud. She said, "I made cookies for you, Mom! They are almost done. Do you want to try one?"
+
+Mom looked at the bowl and saw the raw dough and the chocolate chips. She realized what Sara had done. She was touched and amused. She said, "Thank you, Sara. That is very sweet of you. But you know, cookies need to be baked in a real oven, not a cardboard one. They won't cook in there. They will just stay gooey and sticky."
+
+Sara looked confused and disappointed. She said, "But I followed the recipe. I did everything right. Why won't they cook?"
+
+Mom hugged Sara and said, "Don't worry, Sara. You did a great job. You are a very good cook. But some things need heat to cook, and cardboard doesn't have heat. It's just paper. Come on, let's go to the kitchen and bake your cookies together. Then we can eat them and share them with your friends. How does that sound?"
+
+Sara smiled and nodded. She said, "That sounds good, Mom. I love you. And I love cooking with you."
+
+Mom said, "I love you too, Sara. And I love cooking with you too." They took the bowl and went to the kitchen. They made the cookies and ate them. They were delicious and warm. Sara and Mom were happy and peaceful.
+Sara and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big pile of leaves. They wanted to jump in it.
+
+"Can we jump in the leaves, Mom?" Sara asked.
+
+"Sure, but be careful. The leaves might be dirty," Mom said.
+
+Sara and Ben ran to the pile of leaves. They jumped in and laughed. They threw leaves in the air. They made leaf hats and leaf wings. They had fun.
+
+But then they saw a big dog. The dog was barking and running to them. Sara and Ben were scared. They did not like the dog.
+
+"Help, Mom!" they cried.
+
+Mom saw the dog. She ran to Sara and Ben. She picked them up and hugged them.
+
+"Don't worry, it's okay. The dog is just playing. He won't hurt you," Mom said.
+
+She looked at Sara and Ben. They were dirty. They had leaves in their hair and clothes. They looked funny.
+
+"You two are very dirty. How did you manage to get so dirty?" Mom asked.
+
+"We were playing in the leaves, Mom. It was fun," Sara and Ben said.
+
+Mom smiled. She was not mad. She was happy.
+
+"Well, you had fun, and that's good. But now we have to go home and get clean. Come on, let's go," Mom said.
+
+She took Sara and Ben by the hand. They walked to the car. They left the park. They still had some leaves on them. They giggled. They liked playing in the leaves.
+Tim and Sue were playing in the sand when they saw a big cloud in the sky. It was dark and scary. They heard a loud noise like a lion roaring.
+
+"What is that?" Tim asked.
+
+"It is a hurricane," Sue said. "It is a big wind that can blow things away. We have to go inside."
+
+They ran to their house and closed the door. They saw the trees and the cars moving in the wind. They were afraid.
+
+"Mom, Dad, where are you?" Tim called.
+
+"We are here, in the kitchen," Mom said. "Don't worry, we are safe."

+They went to the kitchen and saw Mom and Dad stirring a big pot of soup. It smelled good.

+
+"Sure, you can stir the soup too," Dad said. "It will keep us warm and cozy."
+
+They took turns stirring the soup with a big spoon. They felt better.
+
+"Look, the hurricane is going away," Mom said. "The sky is blue again."
+
+They looked out the window and saw the sun shining. They also saw a lot of empty cans and boxes on the street. The hurricane had blown them away.
+
+"Wow, what a mess," Tim said.
+
+"Maybe we can help clean it up later," Sue said.
+
+They smiled and hugged their parents. They were happy to be together. They ate the soup and thanked Mom and Dad for making it. They learned that hurricanes are scary, but soup is yummy.
+Anna loved to dream. Every night, she would wrap herself in her soft blanket and close her eyes. She would dream of flying in the sky, swimming in the sea, or playing with her friends. She liked to dream because it made her happy and curious.
+
+One night, Anna had a different dream. She dreamed that she was in a big kitchen, and there were many pots and pans on the fire. She saw a chef who was cooking something spicy. He looked at her and said, "Do you want to try some of my spicy food? It is very tasty and good for you."
+
+Anna was hungry and curious, so she nodded. The chef gave her a spoonful of his spicy food and smiled. Anna put it in her mouth and chewed. But as soon as she did, she felt a burning sensation in her tongue and throat. She spit out the food and cried, "Ow, ow, ow! This is too spicy! It hurts!"
+
+The chef laughed and said, "I tricked you, little girl. This is not food for children. This is food for grown-ups who like spicy things. You should not be so curious and greedy. You should be happy with what you have and what you know."
+
+Anna woke up from her dream, feeling sad and angry. She realized that the chef was mean and that she had made a mistake. She hugged her blanket and said, "I'm sorry, blanket. You are the best thing I have. You make me feel warm and safe. I don't need spicy food. I just need you and my dreams."
+
+The moral of the story is: Be grateful for what you have and don't be tempted by what you don't know.
+Sara was a shy girl. She did not like to talk to new people or play with loud toys. She liked to read books and draw pictures in her room. She had a big sister, Anna, who was very different. Anna liked to talk to everyone and play with noisy toys. She had many friends and always had fun.
+
+One day, Sara and Anna had to go to a new school. Sara was scared and did not want to go. She held on to her mom's hand and cried. She did not want to leave her books and pictures. She did not want to meet new people or play with new toys. She wanted to stay home with her mom.
+
+Anna was excited and happy. She wanted to go to the new school. She let go of her mom's hand and ran. She wanted to see her new classroom and teacher. She wanted to meet new people and play with new toys. She wanted to have a new life.
+
+Mom hugged Sara and said, "Don't cry, Sara. I know you are shy, but you can do this. You can make new friends and have fun. You can learn new things and show your pictures. You can have a good life."
+
+Sara wiped her tears and nodded. She took a deep breath and followed her mom. She saw Anna waiting for her at the door. Anna smiled and said, "Come on, Sara. Let's go to our new school. It will be fun. I will help you. You are my sister and I love you."
+
+Sara smiled back and said, "Thank you, Anna. I love you too. Let's go to our new school. Maybe it will be fun." She held Anna's hand and walked in. She was still shy, but she was not crying anymore. She was ready to start her new life.
+Tim and Jen are playing in the snow. They make a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They give him a carrot nose and two rocks for eyes. They are very happy.
+
+"Look, our snowman is so big and nice!" Jen says.
+
+"Yes, he is. But he is also very cold. He needs something warm in his pocket," Tim says.
+
+Tim runs to the house and comes back with a red glove. He puts it in the snowman's pocket.
+
+"There, now he has a warm hand," Tim says.
+
+But then, a big dog comes running. He sees the snowman and thinks it is a toy. He jumps on the snowman and bites his nose. The snowman falls down and breaks into pieces. The dog runs away with the carrot.
+
+"Oh no, our snowman!" Jen cries.
+
+Tim and Jen are very sad. They look at the snowman's hat, scarf and glove. They are still on the ground.
+
+"Let's make another snowman," Tim says. "We can use the same hat and scarf and glove. And we can find another carrot."
+
+"But it is too hard. The snow is too soft. It won't stick together," Jen says.
+
+Tim thinks for a moment. He has an idea.
+
+"Let's wait until it gets dark. Then it will be very cold. The snow will freeze and become tough. Then we can make a new snowman," Tim says.
+
+Jen likes the idea. She nods.
+
+"OK, let's wait. Then we can make the best snowman ever," Jen says.
+
+They go inside the house and have some hot chocolate. They wait for the night to come. They hope the snow will freeze and become tough. They want to make a new snowman with their hat, scarf, glove and carrot. They are still happy.
+Lily and Ben were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big jar of sugar on a bench. Lily and Ben loved sugar. They wanted to eat some.
+
+"Let's take some sugar," Lily said. "No one is looking."
+
+"But that is not ours," Ben said. "That is wrong."
+
+Lily did not listen. She ran to the jar and opened it. She put some sugar in her mouth. It was very sweet. She smiled.
+
+"Come on, Ben," she said. "It is yummy."
+
+Ben shook his head. He did not want to steal. He stayed on the swing.
+
+Just then, a lady came to the bench. She saw Lily with the jar. She was angry.
+
+"Hey, you little thief!" she shouted. "That is my sugar! Give it back!"
+
+Lily was scared. She dropped the jar. It broke on the ground. Sugar spilled everywhere. The lady grabbed Lily by the arm. She was very mad.
+
+Ben saw what happened. He felt sorry for Lily. He ran to the lady.
+
+"Please, don't be mean to Lily," he said. "She made a mistake. She is sorry. I am her friend. I will help her clean up."
+
+The lady looked at Ben. He had kind eyes. He was brave. She felt a little sorry too.
+
+"Okay, okay," she said. "But you should not take things that are not yours. That is bad. Do you understand?"
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They said they were sorry. They helped the lady pick up the sugar and the jar. The lady thanked them. She gave them each a candy. She was not so angry anymore.
+
+Lily and Ben hugged each other. They were happy. They learned a lesson. They decided to be good and share. They thanked the lady and said goodbye. They went back to the park. They played some more. They were still friends.
+Ben and Lily liked to play in their room. They had many toys and books to have fun with. But their mom told them to be careful with the bookcase. She said it was fragile and could break if they pushed it or climbed on it.
+
+One day, Ben and Lily decided to have a race. They wanted to see who was faster. They marked a line on the floor with a crayon. They said, "Ready, set, go!" and ran across the room.
+
+Ben was ahead of Lily. He wanted to win. He did not see the bookcase in his way. He bumped into it with his shoulder. The bookcase wobbled and shook. Some books and a vase fell off the shelves. The vase was fragile. It broke into pieces on the floor.
+
+Lily stopped running. She saw what happened. She was scared. She said, "Ben, are you okay? Mom will be mad. You broke the vase. It was fragile."
+
+Ben felt sorry. He said, "I'm okay. I'm sorry. I did not mean to break the vase. I did not see the bookcase. It was an accident."
+
+They heard their mom coming up the stairs. They did not know what to do. They hoped she would not be too angry. They learned their lesson. They should not race near the bookcase. It was fragile.
+Anna and Ben liked to play pretend. They had many toys and costumes. One day, they decided to pretend they were opera singers. They put on fancy clothes and big hats. They sang very loud and high.
+
+Mom was in the kitchen. She heard the noise. She came to see what was going on. She saw Anna and Ben singing and dancing. She smiled and clapped. She said they were very good opera singers.
+
+But then, she smelled something bad. She looked around and saw a mess. Anna and Ben had taken some food from the fridge and used it as props. There was cheese, ham, eggs, and milk on the floor, the couch, and the walls. It was disgusting.
+
+Mom was not happy. She told Anna and Ben to stop singing and clean up. She said they had to return the food to the fridge or it would go bad. She said they had to wash the clothes and the hats or they would get stains. She said they had to say sorry for making a mess.
+
+Anna and Ben felt bad. They knew they had done something wrong. They said sorry to Mom. They helped her clean up. They returned the food to the fridge. They washed the clothes and the hats. They said they would not play opera with food again.
+
+Mom hugged them and said she loved them. She said they could still play opera, but with different props. She gave them some scarves, some spoons, and some books. She said they could use them to sing and dance. She said they could have fun, but not make a mess.
+
+Anna and Ben thanked Mom. They put on the scarves, the spoons, and the books. They sang and danced again. They had fun, but not make a mess. They were happy opera singers.
+Anna liked to examine things. She liked to look at them very close and see what they were made of. She had a magnifying glass that her dad gave her. It was a big round glass that made things look bigger.
+
+One day, she found a shiny thing on the floor. It was small and round and had a hole in the middle. She picked it up and put it under her magnifying glass. She saw that it had many tiny lines and numbers on it. She wondered what it was.
+
+She showed it to her dad. He smiled and said, "That's a coin, Anna. It's a kind of money that people use to buy things. This one is a dime. It's worth ten cents. That means you can buy something that costs ten cents with it."
+
+Anna asked, "What can I buy with ten cents, dad?"
+
+Dad said, "Not much, Anna. Things are very expensive these days. You would need many dimes to buy something nice. But you can save them and add them up. Maybe you can buy a book or a toy someday."
+
+Anna nodded. She liked books and toys. She decided to keep the dime and look for more coins. She put it in a jar and marked it with a sticker. She said, "This is my coin jar. I will examine every inch of the house and find more coins. Then I will buy something nice."
+Tim and Kim were twins who liked to play at the beach. They made sand castles, collected shells, and chased the waves. One day, they saw a big crab hiding under a rock. They wanted to catch it and take it home.
+
+"Look, a crab!" Tim said. "Let's get it!"
+
+"No, Tim, that's not nice. The crab lives here. We should leave it alone," Kim said.
+
+But Tim did not listen. He grabbed a stick and tried to stir the crab out of its hole. The crab was angry and pinched Tim's finger with its claw. Tim cried out in pain and dropped the stick.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow! It hurts!" Tim said.
+
+Kim ran to help him. She wrapped his finger with a cloth and hugged him. She saw the crab scuttle back to its hole.
+
+"I'm sorry, Kim. You were right. I should not have bothered the crab. It was mean of me," Tim said.
+
+Kim smiled and kissed his cheek. "It's okay, Tim. I'm glad you are sorry. The crab was just protecting its home. We should respect all living things, even if they are different from us," Kim said.
+
+They learned their lesson and never tried to catch crabs again. They still enjoyed playing at the beach, but they were more careful and kind to the animals they met. They also became taller and smarter as they grew up.
+Lily and Ben are friends who like to play in the garden. They have a small patch of soil where they plant seeds and watch them grow. Lily has a sunflower that is very tall and yellow. Ben has a carrot that is very orange and crunchy.
+
+One day, Ben looks at Lily's sunflower and feels jealous. He thinks that her flower is better than his carrot. He wants to have a sunflower too. He says to Lily, "Can I have your sunflower? It is so pretty and big."
+
+Lily is surprised and sad. She loves her sunflower and does not want to give it away. She says to Ben, "No, you cannot have my sunflower. It is mine. I watered it and cared for it. You have your carrot. It is yours. You dug it and ate it."
+
+Ben is angry and stubborn. He does not listen to Lily. He thinks that he deserves the sunflower more than her. He says to Lily, "You are not fair. You have the best flower. I have the worst carrot. I will take your sunflower anyway." He tries to pull the sunflower out of the soil.
+
+Lily is shocked and scared. She does not want to lose her sunflower. She says to Ben, "Stop it! You are hurting my sunflower. You are hurting me. You are not my friend." She tries to push Ben away from the soil.
+
+They both tug and push and shout. They make a big mess in the garden. They break the sunflower and the carrot. They cry and feel sorry. They realize that they were both wrong. They say to each other, "I am sorry. I was jealous. I was selfish. I did not think. I want to be your friend."
+
+They hug and make up. They decide to share the soil and plant new seeds. They learn to be happy with what they have and to respect each other. They promise to be good friends and to help each other grow.
+Anna and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big metal box with wires and buttons. They wanted to know what it was.
+
+"Can we touch it?" Anna asked.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe it is dangerous," Ben said.
+
+They looked around. No one was watching. They went closer to the box. They saw a red button with a spark on it.
+
+"Wow, look at the spark! It is shiny and bright," Anna said.
+
+She reached out her hand to touch the button. Ben grabbed her arm.
+
+"No, don't touch it! It might hurt you!" he shouted.
+
+But it was too late. Anna touched the button. The box made a loud noise. A flash of light came out of the box. Anna and Ben felt a shock. They screamed and ran away.
+
+They ran to their mom, who was sitting on a bench. She saw them crying and scared.
+
+"What happened? What did you do?" she asked.
+
+"We touched an unknown box. It had a spark. It hurt us," Anna said.
+
+Mom hugged them and checked them for injuries. They were not badly hurt, but they were very scared.
+
+"I'm sorry, sweeties. You should never touch unknown things. They might be dangerous. You could get burned or shocked or worse. You have to be careful and listen to me," she said.
+
+Anna and Ben nodded. They learned their lesson. They never touched unknown things again. They only played with safe things. They were happy and safe.

+
+Sara said, "Sure, you can see him. But you have to be gentle with him. He is very precious to me."
+
+Ben said, "OK, I will be gentle. Can I request something?"
+
+Sara said, "What do you want to request?"
+
+Ben said, "Can I request a kiss from your green prince? He is so handsome."
+
+Sara giggled and said, "OK, you can request a kiss. But only one. And then you have to give him back to me."
+
+Ben said, "OK, deal." He took the green prince and gave him a kiss on the cheek. Then he gave him back to Sara and said, "Thank you, Sara. You are very nice. Your green prince is very lucky to have you."
+
+Sara said, "Thank you, Ben. You are very nice too. Do you want to play with my green prince and your red truck?"
+
+Ben said, "Yes, I do. Let's play together."
+
+Sara and Ben played with their toys and became friends. They had a lot of fun at the park. Sara's mom and Ben's mom watched them and smiled. They were happy to see their children happy.
+Tom and Sam were friends who liked to play with ships. They had many ships of different colors and sizes. They liked to race their ships in the pond near their house. They would say "Ready, set, go!" and push their ships in the water.
+
+One day, they found a big ship in a box. It was red and shiny and had a flag. They wanted to play with it, but it was too big for the pond. They decided to take it to the lake, where there was more water and space.
+
+They carried the ship to the lake, but it was heavy and hard to hold. They had to walk a long way, and they got tired and thirsty. They saw a man selling ice cream near the lake. They wanted to buy some, but they had no money.
+
+"Can we leave our ship here for a minute?" Tom asked the man.
+
+"Sure, but be careful. There are some naughty boys who like to take things that are not theirs," the man said.
+
+Tom and Sam nodded and ran to the water fountain. They drank some water and felt better. They turned around to go back to their ship, but they saw something that made them angry and sad.
+
+The naughty boys had taken their ship and were playing with it in the lake. They were laughing and making fun of Tom and Sam.
+
+"Hey, that's our ship! Give it back!" Tom shouted.
+
+"No, it's ours now! We found it here. It's a nice ship. You can't have it!" one of the naughty boys said.
+
+Tom and Sam felt like crying. They had worked hard to get the ship, and they wanted to play with it. They did not know what to do.
+
+Then they saw a big wave coming from the other side of the lake. It was caused by a motorboat that was passing by. The wave was fast and strong, and it hit the naughty boys and their ship. The ship flipped over and sank in the water. The naughty boys got wet and scared, and they ran away.
+
+Tom and Sam smiled and cheered. They ran to the lake and found their ship. It was still red and shiny and had a flag. They picked it up and hugged it.
+
+"We got our ship back! We win!" Sam said.
+
+"Yes, we win! And we learned a lesson. We should never leave our things alone. And we should always be nice to others," Tom said.
+
+They thanked the man for his warning, and they went home. They played with their ship in their bathtub, where it fit perfectly. They were happy and proud of their ship. They were the best friends and the best ship racers in the world.
+Tom was a big boy who liked to help his dad. One day, his dad was chopping wood with an axe. Tom wanted to try too. He asked his dad, "Can I use the axe, please?"
+
+His dad said, "No, Tom, the axe is too sharp and heavy for you. You might hurt yourself or someone else. You can help me by picking up the small sticks and putting them in the pile."
+
+Tom was sad. He wanted to chop wood like his dad. He thought he could manage. He waited until his dad was busy with something else. Then he sneaked to the axe and grabbed it. He lifted it with both hands and swung it at a big log.
+
+But the axe was too sharp and heavy for Tom. He lost his balance and fell down. The axe flew out of his hands and landed on his foot. Tom screamed in pain. His dad heard him and ran to him. He saw the axe and the blood on Tom's foot. He was very scared and angry.
+
+He picked up Tom and carried him to the car. He said, "Tom, what have you done? You were very naughty and foolish. You could have lost your foot or worse. You should have listened to me. Now we have to go to the hospital."
+
+Tom was very sorry and ashamed. He cried and said, "I'm sorry, dad. I wanted to chop wood like you. I thought I could manage. But the axe was too sharp and heavy for me. It hurt me a lot. Please don't be mad at me."
+
+His dad said, "I'm not mad at you, Tom. I'm just worried about you. I love you very much. But you have to be careful and obey me. The axe is not a toy. It is a tool for grown-ups. You are still a little boy. You have to learn and grow before you can use it."
+
+They went to the hospital. The doctor looked at Tom's foot. He said, "You are lucky, Tom. The axe did not cut your bone or your nerve. You only need some stitches and a bandage. You will be fine in a few weeks. But you have to rest and keep your foot clean. And you have to promise me that you will never touch the axe again."
+
+Tom nodded and said, "I promise, doctor. I will never touch the axe again. I learned my lesson. I will be a good boy and help my dad in other ways. Thank you for fixing my foot."
+
+The doctor smiled and said, "You're welcome, Tom. You are a brave boy. I hope you feel better soon."
+
+Tom thanked the doctor and hugged his dad. His dad hugged him back and said, "I'm proud of you, Tom. You are a good boy. I'm sorry I yelled at you. I was just scared. I'm glad you are fine. I love you very much."
+
+Tom said, "I love you too, dad. And I'm sorry I disobeyed you. I will listen to you from now on. You are the best dad in the world."
+
+They went home and Tom rested on the couch. His dad gave him some juice and a cookie. He read him a story and sang him a song. Tom felt happy and safe. He knew his dad was right. The axe was not for him. He would wait until he was big enough to use it. He closed his eyes and fell asleep.
+Anna and Ben were eager to play in the park. They liked to run, swing, slide and climb. But they had to wait for their guard, Mom, to finish her work. Mom was a teacher and she had to lead a class on the computer.
+
+"Mom, can we go now?" Anna asked. "We want to play!"
+
+"Just a few more minutes, sweetie," Mom said. "I have to say goodbye to my students and check their homework."
+
+Anna and Ben sighed. They looked out the window and saw the sun shining and the birds singing. They wished they could go outside and join them.
+
+Suddenly, they heard a loud noise. It was a fire truck, with red lights and a siren. It zoomed past their house and stopped at the park. Anna and Ben saw smoke and flames coming from the slide. They gasped.
+
+"Mom, look!" Ben shouted. "The park is on fire!"
+
+Mom turned off the computer and ran to the window. She saw the fire truck and the firemen. They were spraying water on the slide and the grass. She grabbed her phone and called 911.
+
+"Hello, this is Mom. There is a fire at the park near our house. Can you send more help?"
+
+"Yes, we are on our way," the voice said. "Please stay inside and keep your children safe."
+
+Mom hugged Anna and Ben. She was glad they were not at the park. She was sad that the slide was burned. She hoped the firemen could put out the fire soon.
+
+"Mom, will the park be okay?" Anna asked.
+
+"I hope so, honey," Mom said. "But don't worry, we can find another park to play in. Maybe we can go to the zoo tomorrow. Would you like that?"
+
+Anna and Ben nodded. They liked the zoo. They liked to see the animals and feed them. They smiled and thanked Mom. They were still eager to play, but they knew they had to wait. They trusted their guard, Mom, to lead them to a fun place.
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play in their room. They have many toys and books. They also have a radio. The radio can play songs and stories.
+
+One day, Lily and Ben are bored. They have played with all their toys and books. They want to hear something new. They turn on the radio. They hear a man talking. He says many words they do not know. They do not like the man. They want to hear songs and stories.
+
+They look for a button to change the radio. They see a big knob. They think it is the button. They take turns to turn the knob. The radio makes loud noises. It sounds like bees and cars and drums. They do not like the noises. They want to hear songs and stories.
+
+They turn the knob more and more. The radio makes louder and louder noises. They cover their ears. They are scared. They want to turn off the radio. They look for another button. They do not see one.
+
+They hear a knock on the door. It is their mom. She opens the door. She sees Lily and Ben and the radio. She hears the loud noises. She is surprised. She says, "What are you doing, kids? Why is the radio so loud?"
+
+Lily and Ben run to their mom. They hug her. They say, "Mom, we are sorry. We wanted to hear songs and stories. We turned the knob. The radio made noises. We could not stop it. We were scared."
+
+Mom smiles. She says, "It's okay, kids. I can help you. The knob is not a button. It is a dial. It changes the radio station. The button is here. It turns the radio on and off. See?" She pushes the button. The radio is quiet. She turns the dial. The radio plays a song. Lily and Ben like the song. They say, "Thank you, mom. We like the song. Can we listen to the radio?"
+
+Mom says, "Yes, you can. But remember, do not turn the dial too much. And do not make the radio too loud. Or you will miss the songs and stories. And you will bother the neighbors. Okay?"
+
+Lily and Ben say, "Okay, mom. We will be careful. We will be quiet." They lean on their mom. They listen to the radio. They are happy.
+Sara likes to play with her mom's jewelry. She thinks they are bright and pretty. She likes to put them on her neck, ears and fingers. She feels like a princess.
+
+One day, Sara sees a big box on the table. She thinks it is a gift for her. She opens it and sees many shiny things inside. She is very happy. She takes out a necklace, a bracelet and a ring. She puts them on and looks in the mirror.
+
+But then, her mom comes in and sees what Sara has done. She is very angry. She says, "Sara, those are not your toys! Those are my jewelry! They are very expensive and fragile. You could break them or lose them. You are not allowed to touch them without my permission. Give them back to me right now!"
+
+Sara feels very sad and scared. She does not want to make her mom angry. She does not want to lose the bright things. She says, "But mom, I just wanted to play. I like your jewelry. They are so pretty. Please, can I keep them?"
+
+Her mom says, "No, Sara, you cannot keep them. They are not for you. They are for special occasions. You have to learn to respect other people's things. You have to say sorry and put them back in the box."
+
+Sara starts to cry. She does not want to say sorry. She does not want to put them back. She frowns and stamps her feet. She says, "No, no, no! I want them! They are mine!"
+
+Her mom says, "Sara, stop that. You are being very naughty and rude. If you don't listen to me, you will go to your room and have no dessert. Do you want that?"
+
+Sara does not want that. She loves dessert. She knows her mom is serious. She wipes her tears and takes off the jewelry. She puts them back in the box and closes it. She says, "Sorry, mom. I won't do it again."
+
+Her mom says, "Thank you, Sara. I'm glad you said sorry. I love you, but you have to follow the rules. Maybe someday, when you are older, I will let you borrow some of my jewelry. But for now, you can play with your own toys. Do you want to play with your dolls?"
+
+Sara nods. She still likes her dolls. She says, "Yes, mom. I want to play with my dolls. Can you play with me?"
+
+Her mom smiles. She says, "Of course, Sara. I can play with you for a little while. Come on, let's go to your room and have some fun."
+
+Sara smiles too. She hugs her mom and says, "I love you, mom. You are the best."
+
+The end.
+Sara and Ben are playing in the backyard. They have a lot of toys, but they like to pretend they are animals. Sara is a lion and Ben is a zebra. They run and jump and roar and neigh.
+
+"Zebra, I will catch you and eat you!" Sara says, as she chases Ben.
+
+"No, lion, you can't catch me, I am too fast!" Ben says, as he dodges Sara.
+
+They have fun, but then they see something shiny in the grass. They stop and go to look. It is a necklace with a big fake jewel. It is very pretty.
+
+"Wow, look at this!" Sara says, as she picks it up.
+
+"It's mine, I saw it first!" Ben says, as he tries to grab it.
+
+"No, it's mine, I touched it first!" Sara says, as she holds it tight.
+
+They start to pull and tug and yell. They are not playing anymore. They are angry and sad.
+
+"Stop, stop, stop!" a voice says. It is Mom. She comes to the backyard and sees them fighting.
+
+"What is going on here?" she asks.
+
+They tell her about the necklace. She looks at it and smiles.
+
+"This is not a real necklace, it is a fake one. I used it for a costume once. It is not worth fighting over. You can both have it, if you share and take turns. Or you can give it back to me, and I will find you something else to play with. What do you want to do?" she asks.
+
+Sara and Ben look at each other. They feel sorry for being mean. They don't want the fake necklace anymore. They want to be friends again.
+
+"Mom, we don't want the necklace. We want to play animals again. Can we?" Sara asks.
+
+"Of course you can. But remember, animals don't fight over fake things. They play nice and have fun. Can you do that?" Mom asks.
+
+"Yes, Mom, we can. We are sorry. Thank you, Mom." Ben says.
+
+They hug Mom and give her the necklace. Then they run and jump and roar and neigh again. They are happy and they are animals.
+Lily loves to sing. She sings when she wakes up, when she plays, and when she helps Mommy in the kitchen. She sings songs about flowers, animals, and stars. She sings with a loud and happy voice.
+
+One day, Mommy is making soup on the stove. She tells Lily to be careful and not touch the stove, because it is very hot. Lily nods and says she will be good. She stands on a chair and watches Mommy chop carrots, celery, and potatoes. She sings a song about soup, how it is yummy and healthy and makes you warm.
+
+Mommy smiles and says, "You are such a good singer, Lily. Do you want to help me stir the soup?" Lily says yes and Mommy gives her a big wooden spoon. Lily stirs the soup slowly and carefully, while Mommy adds salt, pepper, and herbs. She sings a song about stirring, how it is fun and easy and makes the soup tasty.

They eat the soup and say it is delicious. They all sing a song about family, how they love each other and are grateful and happy.
+Lily was a shy girl who liked to play with her dolls and draw pictures. She did not like to talk to other kids or go to new places. She was afraid they would laugh at her or say mean things.
+
+One day, her mom took her to the park. There were many kids there, running and playing on the swings, slides and equipment. Lily wanted to join them, but she was too scared. She stayed close to her mom and watched.
+
+Then, she saw a boy who had a big red truck. It looked like fun. Lily loved trucks. She wanted to play with it, but she did not know how to ask. She waited until the boy was busy with something else, and then she ran to the truck and picked it up.
+
+But the boy saw her and got angry. He shouted, "Hey, that's mine! Give it back!" He ran to Lily and tried to grab the truck. Lily held on tight. She did not want to let go. She liked the truck.
+
+The boy and Lily started to pull and tug on the truck. They made a lot of noise. The other kids and their moms and dads looked at them. Lily felt everyone's eyes on her. She felt hot and red. She felt embarrassed.
+
+She let go of the truck and ran to her mom. She buried her face in her mom's lap and cried. Her mom hugged her and said, "It's okay, Lily. It's okay. You made a mistake. You should have asked first. But it's not a big deal. Everyone makes mistakes sometimes. You can say sorry to the boy and maybe he will let you play with his truck."
+
+Lily looked up at her mom. She saw the boy standing nearby, holding his truck. He looked sad and angry. Lily felt sorry for him. She wiped her tears and got up. She walked to the boy and said, "I'm sorry. I like your truck. Can I play with it, please?"

+Lila and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to climb the big oak tree. It had many branches and leaves. They felt like birds in the sky.
+
+One day, they saw a new boy in the park. He was bigger than them and had a mean face. He came to the oak tree and said, "This is my tree. Go away or I will push you."
+
+Lila and Ben were scared. They did not want to leave their tree. They did not want to be pushed. They said, "No, this is our tree. We were here first. You go away."
+
+The new boy got angry. He climbed the tree and tried to reach Lila and Ben. He pulled their legs and hair. He broke some branches. He made the tree shake.
+
+Lila and Ben cried. They held on to the tree. They hoped he would stop. But he did not stop. He was mean and strong.
+
+Then, something happened. The branch he was on was fragile. It could not hold his weight. It cracked and broke. He fell to the ground. He hurt his arm and leg. He screamed.
+
+Lila and Ben saw him fall. They were shocked. They felt sorry for him. They climbed down the tree. They went to him and asked, "Are you okay?"
+
+The new boy was not okay. He was in pain. He was scared. He was sorry. He said, "I'm sorry. I was mean. I should not have done that. Can you help me?"
+
+Lila and Ben nodded. They helped him get up. They took him to the bench. They gave him some water and a band-aid. They said, "It's okay. We forgive you. Do you want to be our friend?"
+
+The new boy smiled. He said, "Yes, I want to be your friend. Thank you for helping me. Can we play together?"
+
+Lila and Ben smiled too. They said, "Yes, we can play together. But be careful with the tree. It is old and fragile. We love the tree. It is our friend too."
+
+They all hugged the tree. They all became friends. They played in the park. They felt like birds in the sky.
+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play and study together. One day, they go to the park with their moms. They see a big tree with many grapes on it.
+
+"Look, grapes!" Lily says. "Can we have some?"
+
+"I don't know," Tom says. "Maybe they are wild grapes. They might be sour or bad."
+
+Lily wants to try them. She runs to the tree and picks a grape. She puts it in her mouth.
+
+"Yuck!" she spits it out. "You are right, Tom. They are wild grapes. They are very sour and bitter."
+
+Tom laughs. He says, "I told you so. Wild grapes are not good to eat. They are for birds and animals."
+
+Lily is sad. She says, "I'm sorry, Tom. I should have listened to you. You are smart. You study a lot."
+
+Tom smiles. He says, "It's okay, Lily. You are brave. You try new things. We are still friends."
+
+They hug and go back to their moms. They share a snack of sweet grapes from their bags. They are happy. They learn something new.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big tree with many leaves. They wanted to climb the tree and see what was up there.
+
+They ran to the tree and started to climb. They held on to the branches and moved up. They saw a bird and a spider and a nest. They were having fun.
+
+"Look, Ben, a nut!" Lily said. She saw a brown nut on a branch. She reached for it. She wanted to eat it.
+
+"Wait, Lily, don't touch it!" Ben said. He saw a squirrel on another branch. The squirrel was looking at the nut. The squirrel wanted the nut too.
+
+The squirrel saw Lily and Ben. It was angry. It made a loud noise. It ran to the nut. It tried to take it from Lily.
+
+Lily and Ben were scared. They let go of the nut. They paused. They looked at the squirrel. The squirrel looked at them. It had a pretty tail and big eyes.
+
+"Sorry, squirrel, we didn't know it was your nut," Lily said. She smiled at the squirrel. She hoped the squirrel would not be mad.
+
+The squirrel saw Lily's smile. It calmed down. It took the nut and held it in its mouth. It nodded at Lily and Ben. It was not mad anymore.
+
+"Thank you, squirrel, for sharing your nut," Ben said. He waved at the squirrel. He was glad the squirrel was nice.

+
+"Go away, dog!" Tom shouts. "You are bad! You make us suffer!"

+Lily and Ben were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make food with the pots and pans. They found an onion in the basket and decided to use it for their soup.
+
+"Let's cut the onion, Ben," Lily said. She took a knife and tried to slice the onion. But it made her eyes water and sting. She dropped the knife and rubbed her eyes. "Ow, ow, ow! The onion hurts!"
+
+Ben saw his sister crying and felt sorry for her. He wanted to help her. He looked around and saw a towel on the chair. He grabbed the towel and ran to Lily. "Here, Lily, cover your eyes with this. It will make you feel better," he said. He wrapped the towel around her head like a bandage.
+
+Lily felt the soft towel on her eyes and stopped crying. She smiled and hugged Ben. "Thank you, Ben. You are a good brother," she said.

+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They showed their mom the onion and the knife. "We were cutting the onion, but it hurt Lily's eyes. So I covered them with a towel," Ben explained.
+
+Mom kissed them both and praised them. "You are very brave and kind, Lily and Ben. But next time, let me help you with the onion. It can be tricky to cut. How about we finish the soup together and have it for dinner?" she suggested.
+
+Lily and Ben agreed. They took off the towel and washed their hands. They helped mom chop the onion and other vegetables. They put them in a pot with water and salt.

+Anna liked to play on the swing in the park. She liked to go high and feel the wind in her hair. She also liked to polish the swing with a cloth, to make it shiny and smooth.
+
+One day, she went to the park with her mom. She saw a boy on the swing. He was not polite. He did not share the swing. He said, "This is my swing. Go away!"
+
+Anna was sad. She wanted to play on the swing. She asked her mom, "Can I have a turn?"
+
+Her mom said, "Wait a little. Maybe he will let you have a turn soon."
+
+But the boy did not let Anna have a turn. He swung for a long time. He laughed at Anna. He said, "You are too small to swing. You are silly. You polish the swing like a baby."
+
+Anna was angry. She felt ashamed. She wanted to show the boy that she was not small or silly. She wanted to show him that she could swing high and fast.
+
+She waited for the boy to stop swinging. When he got off the swing, she ran to the swing. She pushed him away. She said, "This is my swing now. Go away!"
+
+She got on the swing. She swung high and fast. She felt proud. She said, "Look at me. I can swing better than you. You are rude. You do not share the swing."
+
+But then, something bad happened. She swung too high and too fast. She lost her balance. She fell off the swing. She hurt her knee. She cried.
+
+The boy saw Anna fall. He felt sorry for her. He said, "Are you okay? Do you need help?"
+
+Anna was surprised. She said, "Why are you nice to me? You were mean to me before."
+
+The boy said, "I was wrong. I was selfish. I should have shared the swing with you. I am sorry. Can we be friends?"

+Tom and Lily were very thirsty. They had been walking in the hot sand for a long time. They saw some green trees and a blue pond. They ran towards it.
+
+"Look, Lily, an oasis!" Tom said. "We can drink and rest there."
+
+Lily nodded. She was tired and hot. She followed Tom to the pond. She saw some fish and frogs in the water. She smiled.
+
+"Can we play with them, Tom?" she asked.
+
+Tom shook his head. "No, Lily, we have to drink first. We are very thirsty. And we have to be careful. There might be snakes or crocodiles in the water."

+Lily frowned. She wanted to play with the fish and frogs. She thought Tom was being boring. She saw a big frog on a rock. She reached out to touch it.
+
+"Come here, Lily, don't touch that!" Tom shouted.
+
+But it was too late. The frog was not a frog. It was a crocodile. It opened its big mouth and snapped at Lily. Lily screamed. Tom ran to help her. But the crocodile was faster. It dragged Lily into the water. Tom saw blood and bubbles. He cried.

+Mom said, "Ben, this is the only fork we have. You have to use it. It is not too big for you. You are a big boy now. You can eat with this fork."
+
+But Ben was not happy. He said, "No, no, no. I want a small fork. I saw a small fork in the drawer. I will go and search for it." He got up from his chair and ran to the kitchen.
+
+Anna watched him go. She thought he was being silly. She said, "Ben, come back. You don't need a small fork. You can eat with this fork. It is not hard. Look, I can do it." She picked up her fork and twirled some pasta around it. She lifted it to her mouth and ate it. She smiled and said, "Mmm, yummy. This is good pasta. And this is a good fork."
+
+Ben heard her and came back. He saw her eating with her fork. She looked happy and graceful. He felt a little jealous. He said, "Anna, give me your fork. I want your fork. It is better than mine."
+
+Anna said, "No, Ben. This is my fork. You have your own fork. You can't take mine. That is not nice. You have to share."
+
+Ben got angry. He tried to grab her fork. Anna held on to it. They pulled and tugged. The fork flew out of their hands and landed on the floor. The pasta splattered on the table and their clothes. They both gasped.
+
+Mom came back and saw the mess. She was not happy. She said, "Anna, Ben, what have you done? You have wasted your food and made a mess. Why did you fight over a fork? A fork is just a tool. It does not matter what size or shape it is. What matters is how you use it. And how you treat each other. You should be kind and respectful to each other. You should be grateful for what you have. You should not be greedy or selfish. You should apologize to each other and help me clean up."
+
+Anna and Ben felt sorry. They said, "We are sorry, Mom. We are sorry, Anna. We are sorry, Ben. We were wrong. We will not fight over a fork again. We will be kind and respectful to each other. We will be grateful for what we have. We will help you clean up."
+
+Mom smiled and hugged them. She said, "That's good, Anna and Ben. I love you both. Now, let's clean up and have some fruit for dessert. And maybe we can find a small fork for Ben in the drawer."
+Lily liked to organize her toys. She had a big box for her dolls, a small box for her cars, and a bag for her blocks. She liked to make everything neat and tidy. But she did not like her lion toy. It was dull and old and had no mane. She always put it at the bottom of the bag and forgot about it.
+
+One day, Lily's mom took her to the zoo. Lily was very excited to see the animals. She saw monkeys, elephants, giraffes, and zebras. But her favorite was the lions. They were big and strong and had fluffy manes. They roared and played and looked very happy. Lily wished she had a lion toy like them.
+
+When they got home, Lily ran to her room and opened her bag of blocks. She wanted to build a zoo for her animals. She took out her cars and dolls and put them in different places. But then she saw something at the bottom of the bag. It was her lion toy. It looked dull and old and had no mane. Lily felt sorry for it. She decided to give it a chance. She took it out and put it next to her bed. She said, "You can be my friend. You can be the king of my zoo. I will make you a mane with some yarn and a crown with some paper. You will be the best lion ever." And she hugged it.
+
+The lion toy felt happy. It had been lonely and sad for a long time. It was glad that Lily liked it. It wanted to be her friend. It wanted to be the king of her zoo. It said, "Thank you, Lily. You are very kind. You are the best girl ever." And it hugged her back.
+Lily was happy today. She did not have to go to school. She did not have to take an exam. She hated exams. They made her feel scared and sad. She liked to play and draw and sing instead.
+
+She put on her pink dress and her white shoes. She took her teddy bear and her backpack. She said bye to her mom and dad. She went outside to meet her friend Ben. Ben was her best friend. He lived next door. He liked to play and draw and sing too.
+
+They skipped to the park. They saw flowers and birds and swings. They said hello to the old man who fed the ducks. They gave him some bread. He smiled and thanked them. They skipped to the playground. They climbed and slid and swung. They laughed and had fun.
+
+Then they saw a big dog. The dog was black and brown and furry. It barked and ran towards them. Lily and Ben were afraid. They dropped their backpack and teddy bear. They ran away from the dog. They cried for help.
+
+A lady came. She was the dog's owner. She called the dog and put a leash on it. She said sorry to Lily and Ben. She said the dog was friendly and playful. He did not want to hurt them. He just wanted to say hello. She gave them their backpack and teddy bear. She checked if they were okay.
+
+Lily and Ben were still scared. They hugged each other. They looked at their backpack and teddy bear. They saw that they were torn and dirty. They were sad. They loved their backpack and teddy bear. They were delicate and special.
+
+The lady felt bad. She said she would buy them new ones. She said she would take them to the toy store. She said she would make them happy. Lily and Ben looked at each other. They nodded and smiled. They liked the lady. They liked the toy store. They skipped with the lady and the dog. They forgot about the exam. They were happy again.
+Lily liked to draw with her crayons. She had many colors to choose from. She liked to make pictures of her family, her friends, and her toys. She was very proud of her drawings.
+
+One day, her big brother Tom came to her room. He saw her drawings on the floor. He said, "Lily, can I teach you something?"
+
+Lily looked at him and nodded. She liked to learn new things. She said, "What do you want to teach me, Tom?"
+
+Tom picked up a crayon and a paper. He said, "I want to teach you how to mix colors. Do you know what happens when you mix red and yellow?"
+
+Lily shook her head. She did not know. She said, "No, what happens?"
+
+Tom said, "Let me show you." He drew a circle with red crayon. Then he drew another circle with yellow crayon. He said, "Now, watch this." He rubbed the circles together with his finger. He said, "Look, they make a new color. Do you know what it is?"
+
+Lily gasped. She saw a bright orange color on the paper. She said, "Wow, that is amazing. Is that orange?"
+
+Tom smiled and said, "Yes, that is orange. You are very smart, Lily. Do you want to try it yourself?"
+
+Lily said, "Yes, please." She took the crayon and the paper from Tom. She drew a red circle and a yellow circle. She rubbed them together and made orange. She said, "I did it, Tom. I made orange."
+
+Tom said, "You did it, Lily. You are very good at mixing colors. You are very independent. You can make many more colors by mixing different crayons. Do you want to learn more?"
+
+Lily said, "Yes, yes, yes. Thank you, Tom. You are a good teacher. I love you."
+
+Tom said, "I love you too, Lily. You are a good student. Let's have fun with colors."
+Lila and Tom like to play in the park. They like to swing on the swings. They go up and down, up and down. They feel happy and free.
+
+One day, they see a big wolf in the park. It has sharp teeth and a long tail. It looks scary and mean. Lila and Tom are afraid. They stop swinging and run to their mom.
+
+But their mom is not scared. She laughs and says, "That is not a real wolf. That is a fake wolf. It is a dog with a wolf costume. See, it has a tag and a leash. It belongs to that man over there. He is playing a trick on us."
+
+Lila and Tom look again. They see the man and the dog. The dog wags its tail and barks. It is not a wolf. It is a fake wolf. Lila and Tom feel silly and relieved. They go back to the swings and swing again. They are not afraid of the fake wolf. They are happy and free.
+Lila and Tom were friends who liked to play in the garden. They had a modest house with a small yard, but they did not mind. They enjoyed digging in the soil, finding worms and bugs, and making mud pies.
+
+One day, they decided to make a surprise for their mom. They took some soil and water and mixed them in a big bowl. Then they added some flowers and leaves and made a beautiful cake. They were very proud of their work and wanted to show their mom.
+
+They carried the bowl carefully to the kitchen, where their mom was cooking. They said, "Mom, look what we made for you! It is a cake with soil and flowers. We want to thank you for being the best mom ever!"
+
+Their mom turned around and saw the bowl. She was very angry and shocked. She shouted, "What have you done? This is not a cake, this is a mess! You have ruined my bowl and my kitchen! How could you be so naughty and dirty? Go to your room right now and don't come out until I say so!"
+
+Lila and Tom were very sad and scared. They did not understand why their mom was so mad. They thought they had made something nice for her. They dropped the bowl and ran to their room, crying. They felt very sorry and wished they had never played with the soil.
+Sara and Ben are twins. They like to dance in the shower. They turn on the water and the music. They jump and spin and splash. They sing and laugh and have fun.
+
+But one day, the shower is not light. It is dark. Sara and Ben are scared. They cannot see each other. They cannot see the water. They cannot see the music. They cry and call for mom.
+
+Mom hears them and runs to the bathroom. She sees that the power is out. She tries to open the door, but it is locked. She knocks and shouts, but Sara and Ben do not hear her. They are too loud and too scared.
+
+Mom gets a hammer and breaks the door. She sees Sara and Ben in the shower. They are wet and cold and shivering. They hug mom and sob. Mom hugs them and says sorry.
+
+But it is too late. Sara and Ben are sick. They have a fever and a cough. They have to go to the doctor. They have to take medicine. They have to stay in bed. They cannot dance in the shower anymore. They are sad and angry and bored. They do not like the dark shower. They do not like the bad ending.
+Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. Lily had a doll and Ben had a car. They were having fun, but they also wanted a drink.
+
+"Mom, can we have some juice?" Lily asked.
+
+"Sure, honey. I'll bring you some cups in a minute," Mom said.
+
+Mom went to the kitchen and poured some juice into two cups. She put them on a tray and carried them to the living room. But on the way, she bumped into Dad, who was coming out of the bathroom. Dad was bald and had a towel around his neck.
+
+"Oops, sorry, dear," Mom said.
+
+"Watch out, love," Dad said.
+
+But it was too late. The tray tilted and one of the cups fell off. It flew in the air and landed on Dad's head. The juice splashed all over his face and hair.
+
+"Ouch!" Dad yelled. "That cup struck me!"
+
+Lily and Ben saw what happened and ran to Dad. They were worried and sorry.
+
+"Dad, are you okay?" Lily asked.
+
+"Did it hurt?" Ben asked.
+
+Dad wiped his face and smiled. He was not angry, just wet.
+
+"I'm okay, kids. It didn't hurt much. It was just a surprise," Dad said.
+
+He hugged Lily and Ben and kissed them.
+
+"Thank you for caring. But next time, be careful with the cups, okay?" Dad said.
+
+"Okay, Dad. We're sorry," Lily and Ben said.
+
+Mom brought another cup of juice and a towel. She helped Dad dry his head and gave him a sip.
+
+"Here, honey. Have some juice. It's good for you," Mom said.
+
+"Thank you, love. You're sweet," Dad said.
+
+They all laughed and sat on the couch. They drank their juice and played with their toys. They were happy and loved.
+Tim and Jen are friends. They like to play with blocks. They make towers and houses and cars with blocks. They have many blocks of different colors and shapes.
+
+One day, they find a new block in their toy box. It is a big square block. It is shiny and bright. It has a button on it. Tim and Jen are curious. They want to know what the button does.
+
+"Can I press it?" Tim asks.
+
+"No, I want to press it!" Jen says.
+
+They start to fight over the block. They pull and push and shout. The block falls on the floor. The button makes a loud beep.
+
+Suddenly, the block opens. A lot of smoke comes out. The smoke is green and smelly. It fills the room. Tim and Jen cough and sneeze. They can't see anything.
+
+They try to run away. But they can't find the door. They step on their blocks. The blocks hurt their feet. They cry and scream.
+
+The smoke is bad. It makes them sick. They fall down. They stop moving.
+
+The block is still beeping. It is not a good block. It is a bad block. It is not an original block. It is a fake block. Someone put it in their toy box. Someone wanted to hurt them.
+Lily and Ben were playing with clay. They liked to make shapes and animals with the clay. The clay had a soft and smooth texture. It felt good in their hands.
+
+But then, Lily saw that Ben had a bigger piece of clay than her. She wanted his clay. She said, "Give me your clay, Ben. It is not fair. You have more than me."
+
+Ben said, "No, Lily. This is my clay. I found it first. You can have some of mine, but not all of it."
+
+Lily did not like Ben's answer. She got angry. She grabbed Ben's clay and tried to pull it away from him. Ben did not let go. He pulled back. They both pulled hard. The clay stretched and tore.
+
+Lily and Ben heard a loud rip. They looked at the clay. It was broken. It was not soft and smooth anymore. It was hard and rough. It had a bad texture. It felt bad in their hands.
+
+Lily and Ben were sad. They had ruined their clay. They could not make shapes and animals anymore. They both started to cry. They cried and cried. They wished they had shared their clay. But it was too late. The clay was gone. The end.
+Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a ball and a kite. They run and laugh and have fun.
+
+Tom is hungry. He has a sandwich in his bag. He takes it out and opens it. It has cheese and ham and lettuce. It looks delicious. He wants to eat it.
+
+Sam sees Tom's sandwich. He is hungry too. He does not have a sandwich. He has an apple. He does not like apples. He wants Tom's sandwich.
+
+"Tom, can I have your sandwich?" Sam asks. "It looks delicious. I will give you my apple."
+
+Tom shakes his head. "No, Sam. This is my sandwich. I made it with my mom. You can have your apple. It is good for you."
+
+Sam is angry. He does not listen to Tom. He grabs Tom's sandwich and runs away. He bites it and chews it. He thinks it is delicious.
+
+Tom is sad. He chases Sam and shouts. "Sam, give me back my sandwich! That is not nice. That is not fair."
+
+Sam does not stop. He does not care. He eats Tom's sandwich and throws away the crust. He smiles and wipes his mouth.
+
+Tom catches up with Sam. He is very mad. He pushes Sam and hits him. He tells him he is a bad friend. He does not want to play with him anymore.
+
+Sam falls and cries. He has a bruise and a cut. He is sorry. He wants to say sorry to Tom. But Tom does not listen. He walks away and leaves Sam alone.
+
+The end.
+Tom and Mia like to play outside. They have a big yard with a swing, a slide and a sandbox. They wear boots and coats when it rains. They splash in the puddles and make mud pies.
+
+One day, it rains a lot. Tom and Mia go outside with their mom. They see a wide rainbow in the sky. It has many colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple.
+
+"Look, mom, a rainbow!" Tom says.
+
+"It's beautiful, Tom. Do you know what a rainbow is?" mom asks.
+
+"No, what is it?" Tom says.
+
+"A rainbow is a big arc of light that you can see when the sun shines through the rain. It's like a bridge of colors in the sky," mom says.
+
+"Wow, can we go to the rainbow, mom?" Mia says.
+
+"Sorry, Mia, we can't. The rainbow is very far away. But we can enjoy it from here," mom says.
+
+Tom and Mia nod. They run and jump in the puddles. They try to catch the raindrops with their tongues. They laugh and have fun.
+
+But then, Tom stumbles on a rock. He falls and hurts his knee. He cries and holds his knee.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow, it hurts, mom!" Tom says.
+
+Mom runs to Tom. She picks him up and hugs him. She wipes his tears and kisses his knee.
+
+"It's okay, Tom, it's just a scratch. You're very brave. Let me put a band-aid on it," mom says.
+
+She takes out a band-aid from her pocket. It has a picture of a dinosaur on it. She sticks it on Tom's knee.
+
+"There, all better. Do you like your band-aid, Tom?" mom says.
+
+Tom looks at his band-aid. He smiles and nods.
+
+"Yes, mom, I like it. It's a cool dinosaur. Thank you, mom," Tom says.
+
+"You're welcome, Tom. I love you," mom says.
+
+"I love you too, mom," Tom says.
+
+Mia comes to Tom. She hugs him and says sorry.
+
+"I'm sorry, Tom, that you fell. Are you okay?" Mia says.
+
+"I'm okay, Mia. Thank you. I love you, Mia," Tom says.
+
+"I love you too, Tom," Mia says.
+
+They hug and smile. They look at the rainbow again. It is still wide and bright. They hold mom's hand and walk back to the house. They are happy.
+Tom and Lily were playing with their new toy, a magic wand. They liked to wave it and say funny words, and pretend they were making spells. Sometimes, the wand would make a sound or a light, and they would laugh.
+
+One day, they found a big box in the attic. It had a lock on it, and a sign that said "Do not open". Tom and Lily were curious. They wanted to see what was inside. They used the magic wand to try to open the lock. They said "Open, open, open!"
+
+The lock clicked, and the box opened. Inside, there was a big, jolly bear. He had a red hat and a green scarf, and he smiled at them. He said "Hello, little ones. Thank you for releasing me. I was trapped in this box by a bad witch. She put a spell on me, and made me sleep for a long time. But your magic wand broke the spell. You are very kind and brave."
+
+Tom and Lily were surprised and happy. They hugged the bear and asked him his name. He said "My name is Ben. I am a magic bear. I can do many things. I can sing, and dance, and tell stories. Do you want to play with me?"
+
+Tom and Lily nodded. They liked Ben. He was fun and friendly. They played with him all afternoon, and had a lot of fun. They forgot about the time, and the box, and the witch. They only remembered the magic wand, and the jolly bear, and their new friend.
+Lily and Anna were playing dress-up in their room. They put on their mom's clothes and shoes and hats. They felt very grown-up and pretty.
+
+"Let's use some perfume too," Lily said. She found a bottle on the dresser and sprayed some on her neck. "Mmm, it smells good."
+
+Anna wanted to try it too, but she sprayed too much. The perfume made her sneeze and cough. "Achoo! Achoo! It's too strong," she said.
+
+Lily laughed. "You have to be careful, Anna. Perfume is only for a little bit, not a lot."
+
+Anna felt bad. She did not like the perfume on her. She wanted to wash it off. She ran to the bathroom and turned on the faucet. She splashed water on her face and neck. She rubbed her skin with a towel.
+
+"Are you okay, Anna?" Lily asked. She followed her to the bathroom and saw her wet and sad.
+
+"I'm okay, Lily. I just don't like the perfume. It makes me sneeze and cough. I want to be dry and clean," Anna said.
+
+Lily hugged her. "I'm sorry, Anna. I didn't mean to make you sneeze and cough. You don't need perfume to be pretty. You are pretty just the way you are."
+
+Anna smiled. "Thank you, Lily. You are pretty too. And you are a good sister."
+
+They went back to their room and took off their mom's clothes and shoes and hats. They put on their own clothes and shoes and hats. They felt happy and cozy.
+
+They looked at each other and said, "We are perfect."
+Lily and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big slide. They want to go on the slide, but there is a long line of kids waiting.
+
+"Let's use this tube instead," Ben says. He points to a big plastic tube that is lying on the grass. "We can roll in it and have fun."
+
+"Okay," Lily says. She likes the tube. It is blue and shiny. She and Ben climb inside the tube and start to roll. They laugh and scream as they roll faster and faster.
+
+They roll into a picnic area, where a family is having lunch. The tube bumps into a table and knocks over a cake. The cake falls on the ground and breaks into pieces.
+
+"Hey, watch out!" a man shouts. He is angry. He was going to eat the cake. It looked delicious. It had chocolate and cream and cherries on top.
+
+"Sorry, sorry!" Lily and Ben say. They are scared. They get out of the tube and run away. They do not want to get in trouble.
+
+They find their mom and dad, who are sitting on a bench. They tell them what happened.
+
+"That was not nice," mom says. "You should not use other people's things without asking. And you should not ruin their food. How would you feel if someone did that to you?"
+
+Lily and Ben feel bad. They know mom is right. They say they are sorry.
+
+"Next time, be more careful and respectful," dad says. "Now, let's go and get some ice cream. Maybe that will make you feel better."
+
+Lily and Ben nod. They like ice cream. They hope it is delicious. They also hope the family with the cake is not too mad at them. They do not want to make anyone sad. They want to make friends.
+Tim and Kim were twins who liked to play with their dad's toys. Their dad was a scientist who worked in a big lab with many machines and bottles. Sometimes, he let them visit the lab and see his experiments. He told them to be careful and not touch anything.
+
+One day, Tim and Kim sneaked into the lab when their dad was out. They saw a big red button on a machine that looked like a TV. They wondered what it did. Tim said, "Let's press it and see what happens." Kim said, "No, dad said not to touch anything. It might be dangerous." Tim said, "Don't be scared. It will be fun. Maybe it will show us something incredible."
+
+Tim set his hand on the button and pushed it. The machine made a loud noise and flashed a bright light. Tim and Kim felt a strange feeling in their bodies. They looked at each other and gasped. They had changed into animals! Tim was a monkey and Kim was a cat. They tried to talk, but they only made animal sounds.
+
+They heard their dad's voice outside the lab. He was coming back. They panicked. How would they change back? How would they explain what they did? They ran around the lab, looking for a way out. They knocked over some bottles and wires, making a mess. They saw a window and jumped through it. They landed on the grass outside.
+
+Their dad entered the lab and saw the chaos. He saw the machine with the red button and the TV screen. He saw a message on the screen: "Animal Transformation Experiment: Success!" He realized what had happened. He ran outside, looking for his children. He saw a monkey and a cat running away. He recognized them by their clothes. He shouted, "Tim! Kim! Come back! I can fix this!"
+
+But Tim and Kim did not understand him. They were scared and confused. They ran away, looking for a place to hide. They wondered if they would ever be human again. They wished they had listened to their dad and not touched anything. They learned a hard lesson. The end.
+Lily and Sam were twins. They liked to play and learn new things. One day, their mom said they would visit their grandma and grandpa. They were very happy. They packed their toys and clothes in a big bag.
+
+When they got to grandma and grandpa's house, they hugged and kissed them. Grandma and grandpa had a big garden with many flowers and trees. They also had a dog named Spot. Spot was friendly and liked to lick Lily and Sam's faces.
+
+"Can we play with Spot?" Lily asked.
+
+"Of course, dear. But be careful, he is very curious. He likes to dig and chase things," grandma said.
+
+Lily and Sam ran to the garden with Spot. They threw a ball and Spot ran after it. They hid behind a bush and Spot found them. They laughed and had fun. But then, Spot saw something shiny in the dirt. He started to dig and dig.
+
+"What is he doing?" Sam asked.
+
+"Let's see," Lily said.
+
+They followed Spot and saw what he had dug up. It was a metal box with a lock. It looked old and dusty.
+
+"What is that?" Lily asked.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe it's a treasure," Sam said.
+
+They were very curious. They wanted to open the box and see what was inside. But they didn't have a key.
+
+"Maybe grandma and grandpa know," Lily said.
+
+They picked up the box and ran to the house. They showed the box to grandma and grandpa.
+
+"Wow, where did you find this?" grandma asked.
+
+"Spot dug it up in the garden," Sam said.
+
+"Can we open it?" Lily asked.
+
+Grandma and grandpa looked at each other and smiled.
+
+"Of course, dear. But first, let's have some cookies and milk. You must be hungry after playing so much," grandpa said.
+
+Lily and Sam agreed. They put the box on the table and went to the kitchen. They were still very curious. They wondered what was in the box. Maybe it was a treasure. Maybe it was a secret. They couldn't wait to find out. They decided to stay for a long time with grandma and grandpa. They loved to visit them.
+Lily was a daughter who liked purple. She had a purple dress, a purple hat, and a purple teddy bear. She liked to put on her purple dress and hat and play with her purple teddy bear in her room.
+
+One day, Lily's mom said, "Lily, we are going to the park. Put on your shoes and coat." Lily did not want to go to the park. She wanted to stay in her room and play with her purple teddy bear. She said, "No, mom. I want to play with teddy."
+
+Mom said, "Lily, you can bring your purple teddy bear to the park. There are swings and slides and other kids to play with. It will be fun." Lily thought for a moment. She liked swings and slides and other kids. Maybe she could have fun at the park with her purple teddy bear.
+
+Lily said, "Okay, mom. I will go to the park. But I need to put my purple teddy bear in my purple backpack." Mom said, "That's a good idea, Lily. Put your purple teddy bear in your purple backpack and let's go." Lily put her purple teddy bear in her purple backpack and put on her shoes and coat. She held mom's hand and walked to the park.
+
+At the park, Lily had a lot of fun. She swung on the swings, slid on the slides, and made new friends. She also shared her purple teddy bear with the other kids. They all liked her purple teddy bear and said, "What a nice purple teddy bear!" Lily was happy. She was glad she went to the park with her mom and her purple teddy bear.
+Lila and Tom are playing hide and seek in the park. Lila is the seeker and Tom is the hider. Tom runs to find a good spot to hide. He sees a big bush with many leaves. He thinks it is a good spot to hide. He goes inside the bush and keeps very quiet.
+
+Lila counts to ten and then says, "Ready or not, here I come!" She looks around the park and tries to find Tom. She sees the swings, the slide, the sandbox, but no Tom. She wonders where he is. She walks around the park and looks behind the trees, the benches, the trash cans, but no Tom. She thinks he is very good at hiding.
+
+Tom hears Lila's footsteps and voice. He smiles and thinks he is very clever. He stays hidden in the bush and does not make a sound. He hopes Lila will not find him. He likes to play hide and seek.
+
+Lila is getting tired and bored. She cannot find Tom anywhere. She thinks he is not playing fair. She says, "Tom, where are you? This is not fun anymore. Come out, come out, wherever you are!" She waits for Tom to answer, but there is no answer. She feels sad and angry.
+
+Tom hears Lila's words and tone. He feels sorry for Lila. He thinks he is not being nice. He decides to come out of the bush and say sorry to Lila. He says, "Lila, I'm here. I'm sorry I hid too well. I didn't mean to make you sad and angry. Can we play again?" He comes out of the bush and sees Lila's face. She looks surprised and happy.
+
+Lila sees Tom and says, "Tom, there you are! I'm glad you came out. I'm sorry I was sad and angry. I just wanted to find you. You are very good at hiding. Can we play again?" She smiles and hugs Tom.
+
+Tom says, "Yes, we can play again. But this time, you hide and I seek. OK?" He smiles and hugs Lila back.
+
+Lila says, "OK, that sounds fun. But don't hide too well, OK?" She laughs and runs to find a spot to hide.
+
+Tom says, "OK, I won't hide too well. But don't make it too easy, OK?" He laughs and counts to ten. He says, "Ready or not, here I come!" He looks around the park and tries to find Lila. He thinks they are both good at hiding and seeking. He thinks they are good friends. He likes to play hide and seek.
+Lily and Ben are playing with paper planes. They fold the paper and make wings and tails. They want to see whose plane can fly the farthest.
+
+"Ready, set, go!" Lily says and throws her plane. It zooms in the air and lands on the sofa.
+
+"Wow, that was good!" Ben says and throws his plane. It zooms too, but hits the lamp and falls down.
+
+"Oops, sorry!" Ben says and runs to get his plane.
+
+Lily and Ben laugh and try again. They throw their planes and watch them zoom. They have fun and forget about the time.
+
+"Kids, time for bed!" Mom calls from upstairs.
+
+"But we're not sleepy!" Lily and Ben say.
+
+"You've been playing all day, you need to rest," Mom says. "Come on, put away your planes and brush your teeth."
+
+Lily and Ben sigh and do what Mom says. They put their planes on the shelf and go to the bathroom. They brush their teeth and wash their faces.
+
+They go to their bedroom and get into their beds. Mom tucks them in and kisses them goodnight.
+
+"Sweet dreams, my loves," Mom says and turns off the light.
+
+Lily and Ben close their eyes, but they are restless. They still want to play with their planes. They whisper to each other and giggle.
+
+"Let's pretend we're flying," Lily says.
+
+"Okay, let's," Ben says.
+
+They flap their arms and make zooming sounds. They imagine they are soaring in the sky and having adventures.
+
+They are happy and forget about being sleepy. They fall asleep with smiles on their faces.
+Tim and Lily were playing with a ball in the park. They liked to throw the ball to each other and catch it. Sometimes they missed and the ball rolled away, but they always ran after it and brought it back.
+
+One time, the ball rolled too far and went into the bushes. Tim and Lily followed it, but they could not see it. They looked and looked, but the ball was gone. They felt sad and angry.
+
+"Where is our ball?" Tim asked.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe someone took it," Lily said.
+
+"Who would do that? That's not nice," Tim said.
+
+They heard a noise in the bushes. They saw a big dog with their ball in its mouth. The dog was chewing on the ball and making it flat. Tim and Lily were scared and mad.
+
+"Hey, that's our ball! Give it back!" Tim yelled.
+
+The dog looked at them and growled. It did not want to give the ball back. It ran away with the ball, dragging a long string behind it. The string was tied to the dog's collar.
+
+"Come back here!" Lily yelled.
+
+Tim and Lily ran after the dog, but they could not catch it. The dog was too fast and the string was too long. They chased the dog across the park, but they lost sight of it.
+
+They stopped and panted. They felt tired and sad. They had no ball and no fun.
+
+"Are you okay?" Tim asked Lily.
+
+"I'm fine. Are you okay?" Lily asked Tim.
+
+"I'm fine. But I miss our ball," Tim said.
+
+"Me too. Maybe we can find another one," Lily said.
+
+They hugged each other and walked back to their mom. They told her what happened and she felt sorry for them. She said she would buy them a new ball soon. She said they were brave and good. She gave them a snack and a kiss.
+
+Tim and Lily smiled and thanked her. They still missed their ball, but they felt better. They had each other and their mom. They were fine.
+Ben and Sam liked to play with their toy soldiers. They had many soldiers of different colors and sizes. They liked to make them fight and march and talk.
+
+One day, Ben and Sam had a big fight. They wanted to play with the same soldiers, but they did not want to share. They shouted and pulled and pushed. They made a big mess with their soldiers. They were very loud and angry.
+
+Mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw Ben and Sam fighting and the soldiers all over the floor. She was not happy. She said, "Stop fighting, boys. You need to organize your soldiers. You need to put them in groups by color and size. Then you can take turns to play with them. Fighting is not nice. Sharing is nice."
+
+Ben and Sam stopped fighting. They felt sorry. They said, "Sorry, Mom. Sorry, Ben. Sorry, Sam." They started to organize their soldiers. They put them in groups by color and size.

+
+"Mom, look at the dog!" Anna says. "It is so hairy!"

+
+At the store, they see many toys. They see dolls, cars, balls, and books. They look at everything. They find a toy they both like. It is a puzzle. The puzzle has a picture of a farm. They see cows, pigs, chickens, and a tractor.

+
+One day, they were playing with the blocks. They wanted to build a big tower with all the colors. They worked hard and put the blocks on top of each other. They were happy and proud of their tower.
+
+"Look, Mommy, look!" Lily said. "We made a tower!"
+
+Mommy came to see their tower. She smiled and said, "Wow, that's a great tower! You are very good at building!"
+
+But then, Ben saw a red block that he wanted. He reached for it, but it was at the bottom of the tower. He pulled it out, and the tower fell down. The blocks scattered all over the floor.
+
+"Ben, no!" Lily cried. "You broke our tower!"
+
+Ben felt sorry. He did not mean to break the tower. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I just wanted the red block."
+
+Mommy came to help them. She said, "It's okay, Ben. It was an accident. But you have to be careful with the blocks. They are not only yours, they are Lily's too. You have to share and ask before you take."
+
+She picked up the blocks and gave them back to Lily and Ben. She said, "Why don't you try to build the tower again? And this time, you can teach each other how to use the blocks. Maybe you can make a bigger and better tower together."
+

+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big bush with red berries. They think the berries look yummy.
+
+"Can we eat the berries?" Anna asks Ben.
+
+"I don't know," Ben says. "Maybe they are not good for us."
+
+They look at the berries. They smell the berries. They touch the berries. They are soft and juicy.
+
+"I want to try one," Anna says. She picks a berry and puts it in her mouth.

+Lila and Ben were playing hide and seek in the garden. Lila was the seeker and Ben was the hider. Lila counted to ten and then looked for Ben. She saw a big bush and thought Ben might be hiding there.
+
+She walked to the bush and peeked behind it. She saw Ben's foot sticking out. She smiled and said, "I found you, Ben!"
+
+But Ben did not answer. He was very still and quiet. Lila wondered why. She peeked more and saw Ben's face. He looked very sad and had a big red bump on his nose.
+
+"What happened, Ben?" Lila asked.
+
+"A mosquito bit me," Ben said. "It hurts a lot."
+
+Lila felt sorry for Ben. She knew how it felt to be bitten by a mosquito. She had one on her arm too.
+
+"Let me see," Lila said. She moved the bush and went to Ben. She looked at his nose and said, "That's a big bite. You need some cream."
+
+She took Ben's hand and helped him get up. They walked to the house and looked for Mom. Mom was in the kitchen, making a cake.
+
+"Mom, Mom, look at Ben's nose!" Lila said.
+
+Mom turned around and saw Ben's nose. She gasped and said, "Oh, poor Ben! That's a nasty bite. Come here, I have some cream for you."
+
+She took Ben to the sink and washed his nose. Then she took a tube of cream from the cabinet and squeezed some on her finger. She gently rubbed it on Ben's nose and said, "This will make it feel better. It's a special cream. It's very expensive, but it works."
+
+Ben felt the cream on his nose. It was cold and soothing. He smiled and said, "Thank you, Mom. It feels better already."
+
+Mom smiled and said, "You're welcome, Ben. I'm glad you feel better. Now, do you want some cake?"
+
+Ben nodded and said, "Yes, please."

+"OK, but be careful. You have to wear a life jacket and stay in the boat," Mom says.
+
+Mom helps them put on life jackets and find a boat. The boat has two oars. Tim and Kim sit in the boat and Mom pushes them into the water.
+

+
+"You are welcome. I'm glad you are safe," the man says.
+
+Tim and Kim smile. They learned a lesson. They have to be careful on the water. They are happy to be with Mom. They say goodbye to the man and the ducks. They go home.
+Ben and Sam were brothers. They liked to play with their dad's tools. One day, they found a big shiny thing in the garage. It was a car. Ben said, "Let's polish the car. It will make dad happy." Sam said, "OK. But we need gloves. The car is dirty and cold."
+
+They looked for gloves. They found two pairs in a box. One pair was black and one pair was red. Ben said, "I want the black gloves. They are cool." Sam said, "Fine. I'll take the red gloves. They are warm." They put on the gloves and started to polish the car.
+
+They rubbed the car with cloths. They made the car shiny and bright. They were happy. They did not see the sign on the box. The sign said, "Danger. Do not touch. These gloves are for welding. They have electricity in them."
+
+They did not hear their dad coming. He saw them polishing the car. He was angry. He shouted, "Stop! What are you doing? Those gloves are not for polishing. They are for welding. They have electricity in them. You could get hurt."
+
+But it was too late. The gloves touched the car. The car had metal. The electricity went from the gloves to the car. The car made a loud noise. It sparked and smoked. Ben and Sam felt a shock. They screamed and dropped the cloths. They ran away from the car.
+
+Their dad ran to them. He checked them. They were not badly hurt. But they were scared and sad. The car was ruined. It had burns and holes. Their dad was very mad. He said, "You are not clever. You are foolish. You did not read the sign. You did not ask me. You ruined the car. You are in big trouble."
+
+Ben and Sam cried. They said, "We are sorry. We wanted to make you happy. We did not know the gloves were bad. We thought they were for polishing." Their dad said, "Sorry is not enough. You have to pay for the car. You have to work hard. You have to learn your lesson. You have to be more careful."
+
+Ben and Sam nodded. They felt sorry and ashamed. They wished they had not polished the car. They wished they had not used the gloves. They wished they had been more clever.
+Mia was a shy girl who did not like to talk to new people. She liked to play with her dolls and books in her room. One day, her mom said they had a surprise for her. She had to go to the bathtub and get ready.
+
+Mia was curious about the surprise, but also a little scared. She did not know what it was. She hoped it was not something loud or scary. She went to the bathtub and washed her hair and body. She put on her pink pajamas and brushed her teeth.
+
+She came out of the bathroom and saw her mom and dad smiling at her. They said, "Come with us, Mia. We have a surprise for you in the living room." Mia followed them, holding her mom's hand. She saw a big box with a bow on it. She wondered what was inside.
+
+Her dad said, "This is for you, Mia. We know you love animals, so we got you a new friend. Go ahead and open it." Mia walked slowly to the box and lifted the lid. She gasped. Inside was a fluffy white kitten with blue eyes. It looked at her and meowed.
+
+Mia felt a warm feeling in her chest. She loved the kitten. She reached out and touched its fur. It was soft and warm. The kitten licked her hand and purred. Mia smiled and hugged the kitten. She said, "Thank you, mom and dad. I love you and I love my new friend. What is his name?"
+
+Her mom said, "You can name him whatever you want, Mia. He is yours to take care of and play with. He is very friendly and gentle. He will not hurt you or make you feel shy. He will make you happy and brave."
+
+Mia thought for a moment. She said, "I will name him Snowy, because he is white like snow. He is the best surprise ever. I will be a good friend to him and share my toys and books with him. Maybe he will help me make new friends too."
+
+Her mom and dad hugged her and said, "We are proud of you, Mia. You are a kind and sweet girl. You deserve to be happy and brave. We love you and Snowy very much."
+
+Mia felt happy and brave. She cuddled with Snowy and said, "I love you too, mom and dad. And I love you, Snowy. You are my best surprise ever."
+
+The end.
+Anna and Ben were twins who lived near the ocean. They liked to play on the sand and look for shells and rocks. Sometimes they saw big boats with flags and people on them. Anna and Ben wondered where the boats came from and where they went.
+
+One day, they saw a very big and shiny boat with a lot of windows and a red flag. It was the boat of a wealthy man who had a lot of money and things. The man saw Anna and Ben and waved at them. He said, "Hello, little ones! Do you like my boat? It is very nice and fast. I can go anywhere I want with it."
+
+Anna and Ben were curious and said, "Hello, sir! Your boat is very pretty. Where do you go with it?"
+
+The man smiled and said, "I go to many places. I see different lands and people and animals. I buy and sell things and make more money. I have everything I need on my boat. It is my home and my treasure."
+
+Anna and Ben thought for a moment and said, "But don't you miss your family and friends? Don't you get lonely on your boat? Don't you want to share your things with others?"
+
+The man looked surprised and said, "No, I don't miss anyone. I don't need anyone. I have my boat and my money. They are mine and I keep them. I don't share them with anyone. They make me happy."
+
+Anna and Ben felt sad for the man. They said, "We think you are not happy, sir. You have a lot of things, but you don't have love. Love is more important than things. Love makes you happy. We love our family and friends. We love the ocean and the sand and the shells and the rocks. We share them with each other and with others. They are not ours, they are everyone's. They are gifts from God."
+
+The man was silent for a while. He looked at Anna and Ben and then at his boat and his money. He felt something in his heart that he had not felt for a long time. He said, "Maybe you are right, little ones. Maybe I have been wrong. Maybe I have been selfish and greedy. Maybe I have missed the real treasure of life. Maybe I should change my ways and learn to love and share. Thank you for teaching me a lesson. God bless you."
+
+Anna and Ben smiled and said, "You are welcome, sir. God loves you. We hope you find happiness and peace. Goodbye."
+
+The man waved goodbye and sailed away. Anna and Ben went back to their sand and shells and rocks. They thanked God for their simple and joyful life. They knew they were wealthy in their hearts.
+Lila and Sam are fish who live in the reef. They like to swim and play with their friends. But today, Lila is restless. She wants to go and see new things.
+
+"Sam, let's go and explore the big blue water," she says.
+
+"But Lila, the reef is our home. It is safe and beautiful. The big blue water is scary and dangerous. There are big fish and sharks who can eat us," Sam says.
+
+"I don't care. I'm bored of the reef. I want to have fun and adventure. Come on, Sam, don't be a scaredy-fish," Lila says.
+
+She swims away from the reef, leaving Sam behind. Sam is worried. He loves Lila and doesn't want her to get hurt. He follows her, hoping to bring her back.
+
+Lila swims fast and far. She sees new colors and shapes. She is amazed and curious. She doesn't notice the shadow that is getting closer and closer. It is a shark, and it is hungry.
+
+Sam sees the shark and shouts, "Lila, look out! It's a shark! Swim back to the reef, now!"
+
+Lila hears Sam and turns around. She sees the shark and feels afraid. She swims as fast as she can, but the shark is faster. It opens its mouth and snaps at Lila.
+
+Sam is brave. He swims in front of Lila and bites the shark's tail. The shark is angry and hurts. It lets go of Lila and chases Sam.
+
+Lila is scared and sad. She loves Sam and doesn't want him to get hurt. She swims back to the reef, hoping to find help.
+
+She sees her friends and tells them what happened. They are shocked and sorry. They swim with Lila to find Sam and the shark.
+
+They see Sam and the shark. Sam is tired and hurt. The shark is big and mean. Lila and her friends are small and weak. They don't know what to do.
+
+Then, they hear a loud noise. It is a boat. The boat makes waves and bubbles. The shark is scared and confused. It swims away from the boat, leaving Sam alone.
+
+Lila and her friends swim to Sam. They hug him and thank him. They are happy and relieved. They help him swim back to the reef.
+
+Lila is sorry and grateful. She says to Sam, "Sam, I'm sorry I was restless and silly. I should have listened to you. You are my best friend. You saved my life. Thank you."
+
+Sam smiles and says, "Lila, I'm glad you are safe and sorry. You are my best friend. You make me happy. You're welcome."
+
+They swim back to the reef, where they belong. They are happy and safe. They are not restless anymore. They are fish who live in the reef. They like to swim and play with their friends.
+Ben and Lily are twins. They like to play with their toys in their room. They have many toys: cars, dolls, blocks, books and more. They are very organized. They put each toy in its own box or shelf.
+
+One day, their mom says they can go to the park. They are very happy. They put on their coats and shoes. They grab their backpacks. They say bye to their toys.
+
+"Bye, cars. Bye, dolls. Bye, blocks. Bye, books. We will be back soon," they say.
+
+They go downstairs with their mom. They see a big yellow car outside. It is a taxi. Their mom says they will take the taxi to the park. They are very excited. They have never been in a taxi before.
+
+They get in the taxi. The driver says hello. He asks them where they want to go. Their mom tells him the name of the park. He says okay. He starts the car.
+
+The taxi goes fast. It passes many other cars, buses, bikes and people. Ben and Lily look out the window. They see many things: shops, trees, lights, signs and more.
+
+"Look, Lily, a big dog!" Ben says.
+
+"Look, Ben, a red balloon!" Lily says.
+
+They point and laugh. They have fun.
+
+The taxi stops at the park. The driver says they are here. Their mom pays him. She says thank you. He says you're welcome. He says bye.
+
+They get out of the taxi. They see a big green field. They see swings, slides, sand and more. They are very happy. They want to play.
+
+They run to the park. They run fast. They run with their mom. They run with joy. They run to have fun.
+Tom and Lily were playing with their stuff in the living room. They had cars, dolls, blocks and books. They liked to make stories with their stuff and have fun.
+
+But then Tom wanted to play with Lily's doll. He grabbed it from her and said, "This is mine now. You can have the car."
+
+Lily was angry. She wanted her doll back. She said, "No, Tom. That is my doll. Give it back to me. You have your own stuff."
+
+Tom did not listen. He ran away with the doll and hid behind the sofa. He said, "No, Lily. You can't have it. It is mine now."
+
+Lily was frustrated. She could not reach Tom or the doll. She started to cry and shout, "Tom, you are mean. You are a bad brother. Give me my doll. Give me my doll."
+
+Mom heard the noise and came to the living room. She saw Tom and Lily fighting over the doll. She was not happy. She said, "Tom and Lily, stop it. You are making a mess. You are not sharing. You are not being nice."
+
+She took the doll from Tom and gave it back to Lily. She said, "Tom, you have to say sorry to Lily. You can't take her stuff without asking. You have to share."
+
+Tom did not want to say sorry. He was mad. He said, "No, Mom. I don't want to share. I don't like Lily. I don't like you."
+
+Mom was shocked. She said, "Tom, that is very rude. You can't talk to me or Lily like that. You have to go to your room. You are in trouble."
+
+She took Tom by the hand and led him to his room. She said, "You can stay here until you calm down and apologize. You can't play with your stuff or watch TV. You have to think about what you did."
+
+Tom was sad. He did not like his room. He did not like being alone. He did not like being in trouble. He wished he had not taken Lily's doll. He wished he had been nice. He wished he had said sorry. But it was too late. He had made a big mistake. He had hurt Lily and Mom. He had no one to play with. He had no fun. He had a bad ending.
+Sara was a spoiled girl. She had many toys, but she did not share them with anyone. She always wanted more and more. One day, she saw a new scooter in the store. It was shiny and fast. She asked her mom to buy it for her.
+
+"Please, mom, please! I want the scooter!" Sara cried.
+
+"No, Sara, you have enough toys. You don't need the scooter. And you have to be good and polite if you want a gift," her mom said.
+
+"But I want it, I want it, I want it!" Sara screamed. She threw a tantrum in the store. She kicked and hit her mom. She did not listen to her mom. She did not answer her mom.
+
+Her mom was very sad and angry. She took Sara out of the store. She said, "Sara, you are a very bad girl. You are not getting the scooter. And you are not getting any toys for a long time. You have to learn to be nice and grateful."
+
+Sara was very mad and sad. She cried all the way home. She did not say sorry to her mom. She did not hug her mom.
+
+When they got home, Sara saw a big surprise. Her dad was waiting for them with a big smile. He had a gift for Sara. It was a new scooter. It was shiny and fast. It was the same scooter Sara wanted.
+
+"Sara, look what I got for you! I saw this scooter in the store and I thought you would love it. It's a special gift for being a good girl and doing well in school," her dad said.
+
+Sara was very happy and excited. She ran to her dad and took the scooter. She said, "Thank you, dad, thank you! You are the best dad ever! I love the scooter!"
+
+She did not see her mom's face. She did not see her mom's tears. She did not see her mom's hurt. She did not answer her mom. She did not hug her mom.
+
+She got on the scooter and rode away. She did not look back. She did not care. She was a spoiled girl.
+Lila was a little girl who loved to climb. She climbed trees, rocks, walls, and anything she could find. She was very flexible and strong, and she liked to show off her skills.
+
+One day, she saw a big castle with a tall tower. She wanted to climb it and see what was inside. She sneaked past the guards and found a window that was open. She grabbed the ledge and pulled herself up.
+
+Inside the tower, she saw a beautiful queen sitting on a throne. She had a crown, a dress, and lots of jewels. Lila was amazed and curious. She climbed down from the window and walked towards the queen.
+
+"Hello, who are you?" the queen asked, surprised.
+
+"I'm Lila, and I like to climb," Lila said proudly.
+
+"That's very impressive, but also very dangerous," the queen said. "You could fall and hurt yourself, or get in trouble with the guards. Why did you climb my tower?"
+
+"I wanted to see what was inside, and who you are," Lila said.
+
+"I'm the queen of this land, and this is my home," the queen said. "I'm glad you're interested, but you should ask for permission before you enter someone's house. It's not polite to sneak in."
+
+Lila felt ashamed and sorry. She realized she had been rude and reckless. She apologized to the queen and asked for forgiveness.
+
+The queen smiled and forgave her. She invited her to stay for tea and cake, and told her stories about the castle and the kingdom. Lila listened and learned a lot. She also thanked the queen for being kind and generous.
+
+The queen gave her a hug and a necklace as a gift. She told her to come back anytime, but to knock on the door first. Lila agreed and promised to be more respectful and careful. She climbed down the tower and waved goodbye to the queen.
+
+Lila learned that climbing was fun, but not always the best way to explore. She also learned that being polite and humble was more important than being flexible and strong. She made a new friend and a new memory. She was happy and proud.
+Lily and Max were at the zoo with their mom. They saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and penguins. They also saw some plants, like flowers, trees, and cactuses. Lily liked the cactuses, because they had spikes and colors. She wanted to touch one, but mom said no.
+
+"Ouch! Cactuses are prickly, Lily. They can hurt you if you touch them. They are not soft like your teddy bear," mom said.
+
+"But they are pretty, mom. Can I have one at home?" Lily asked.
+
+Mom smiled and said, "Maybe. But you have to take good care of it. Cactuses need sun, water, and soil. They are not like toys. They are alive."
+
+Lily nodded and said, "I can do that, mom. I can order the sun to shine, and the water to rain, and the soil to be nice. I can be a good cactus mom."
+
+Max laughed and said, "You are silly, Lily. You can't order the sun, or the water, or the soil. They do what they want. You have to watch them and learn from them."
+
+Lily and Max looked at the cactuses and saw how they grew and changed. They saw how some had flowers, and some had fruits, and some had babies. They thought the cactuses were adorable and amazing. They wanted to learn more about them. They asked mom to buy them a book about cactuses. Mom agreed and said, "That's a great idea. You can read the book together and learn more about these wonderful plants. Maybe one day, you can have your own cactus at home."
+Lily loved to bake. She baked cakes, pies, cookies and muffins. She baked for her family, her friends and her teachers. She was very good at baking and everyone liked her treats.
+
+One day, there was a baking contest at school. Lily wanted to win the trophy. She baked her best cake ever. It was big, round and pink. It had frosting, sprinkles and candles. She was very proud of her cake.
+
+But when she got to school, she saw that Tom had a cake too. His cake was small, square and brown. It had no frosting, no sprinkles and no candles. It looked boring and dry. Lily thought that her cake was much better than Tom's cake.
+
+She decided to play a trick on Tom. She took some of his cake and hid it under her hat. She thought that if Tom had less cake, he would lose the contest. She smiled and walked away.
+
+But she did not see that Tom's cake was not a normal cake. It was a hairy cake. It had fur, eyes and a tail. It was a cake for his pet hamster. The hamster was hiding inside the cake. It was very angry that Lily took some of his cake. It bit Lily's head through her hat.
+
+Lily screamed and dropped the cake. Everyone saw what she did. They were shocked and angry. Tom was sad and hurt. He ran to his hamster and hugged him. He said that he did not care about the trophy. He only cared about his hamster.
+
+Lily felt very bad. She realized that she was mean and selfish. She apologized to Tom and his hamster. She said that she was sorry for taking his cake and hurting his feelings. She said that she learned her lesson. She said that baking is not about winning or losing. It is about sharing and caring.
+
+Tom forgave Lily. He said that he was sorry for not telling her about his hamster. He said that he liked her cake and wanted to try it. He said that he learned his lesson too. He said that baking is not about hiding or lying. It is about being honest and kind.
+
+They decided to share their cakes with each other and with everyone else. They did not care who won the trophy. They only cared about being friends. They hugged and smiled. Everyone clapped and cheered. They all enjoyed the cakes and the hamster. They all learned that baking is fun and good.
+Ben and Lily were brother and sister. They liked to play in their room. They had many toys and books and games. But their favorite thing to do was to jump on the mattress. The mattress was big and soft and bouncy. They would laugh and shout and have fun.
+
+One day, their mom said, "Ben and Lily, we have to go to the store. You have to come with me. We will return soon. Do not jump on the mattress while I am gone. It is not safe. You could fall and hurt yourself."
+
+Ben and Lily nodded. They did not want to hurt themselves. They put on their shoes and coats and followed their mom to the car. They went to the store with their mom. They saw many things at the store. They saw fruits and vegetables and bread and milk. They saw clothes and shoes and hats and gloves. They saw toys and books and games. They wanted to buy everything. But their mom said, "No, we only need a few things. We have to return home soon."
+
+Ben and Lily helped their mom carry the bags to the car. They were eager to return home. They wanted to jump on the mattress again. They missed the mattress. They thought the mattress missed them too.
+
+When they returned home, they ran to their room. They saw the mattress. It was still big and soft and bouncy. They smiled and hugged each other. They said, "Yay, we are back! We can jump on the mattress again!"
+
+They threw their shoes and coats on the floor. They climbed on the mattress. They jumped and laughed and shouted and had fun. They did not hurt themselves. They were happy. They loved the mattress. The mattress loved them too.
+Tom and Lily went to the park with Mom. They saw many things in the park: trees, flowers, birds, swings, slides. They also saw a big statue of a man on a horse. The statue was made of stone and did not move.
+
+"Who is that?" Tom asked Mom, pointing at the statue.
+
+"That is a hero. He did many good things a long time ago. He helped people and fought bad guys. He was very brave and strong," Mom said.
+
+"What is his name?" Lily asked.
+
+"His name is George. He was the leader of our country when it was born. He is very important and famous," Mom said.
+
+Tom and Lily wanted to learn more about George. They asked Mom many questions. Mom told them stories about George and his horse. She said George was also kind and honest. He liked to read and write and learn new things.
+
+Tom and Lily liked George. They wanted to be like him. They said thank you to the statue and waved goodbye. They ran to the swings and slides and played. They pretended to be heroes too. They had fun and learned a lot.
+
+Soon it was time to go home. Tom and Lily were sleepy. They yawned and rubbed their eyes. They hugged Mom and said they had a great day. They got in the car and fell asleep. They dreamed of George and his horse. They dreamed of being brave and strong and kind and honest. They dreamed of doing good things and helping people. They dreamed of being heroes.
+Tom and Lily are playing with their toys. Tom has a big truck and Lily has a doll. They like to act like they are grown-ups. They pretend to have jobs and families.
+
+"Hello, this is Tom. I drive a truck. Who is this?" Tom says into his telephone. He made his telephone from a box and a string.
+
+"Hi, Tom. This is Lily. I am a teacher. I teach my doll how to read and write. How are you?" Lily says into her telephone. She made her telephone from a can and a string.
+
+"I am good, Lily. I have a lot of things to deliver. I go to many places. Do you want to come with me?" Tom says.
+
+"Yes, Tom. That sounds fun. I can bring my doll. She likes to see new things. Where are we going?" Lily says.
+
+"We are going to the park, the store, the zoo, and the beach. We will see many animals, plants, and people. Are you ready?" Tom says.
+
+"Yes, Tom. I am ready. Let's go!" Lily says.
+
+They put their telephones in their pockets and grab their toys. They run to the door and ask their mom if they can go outside. Their mom says yes, because they are nice children. She tells them to be careful and have fun. Tom and Lily smile and say thank you. They go outside and act like they are grown-ups. They have a lot of adventures. They are happy.
+Lily was a dog who loved to play. She liked to run, jump, bark and chase. She did not like to sit, stay, quiet and fetch. Her owner, Sam, tried to teach her how to behave, but Lily did not listen. She thought it was boring.
+
+One day, Sam took Lily to the park. He wanted to show his friends how smart his dog was. He said to Lily, "Lily, sit!" But Lily did not sit. She ran away. She saw a squirrel and chased it. She did not hear Sam calling her name.
+
+Lily ran across the road. She did not see the car. The car hit her. Lily felt a lot of pain. She cried out loud. Sam ran to her. He was very sad and scared. He said to Lily, "Lily, why did you not listen to me? Why did you not behave? I love you, Lily. I wanted to be proud of you."
+
+But Lily did not answer. She closed her eyes. She did not breathe. She was gone. Sam cried and cried. He wished he could say sorry to Lily. He wished he could hug her and play with her again. But he could not. He lost his best friend. He was not proud. He was sorry.
+Anna and Ben liked to play pretend. They put on their animal masks and ran around the house. Anna was a lion and Ben was a bear. They roared and growled and chased each other.
+
+One day, they found a big towel in the bathroom. It was soft and fluffy and had stripes. Anna had an idea. She put the towel on her back and said, "Look, Ben, I have a mane. I am the king of the jungle. Roar!"
+
+Ben thought that was funny. He wanted to play along. He looked for something to put on his back too. He saw a small towel that was brown and had spots. He put it on his back and said, "Look, Anna, I have a fur coat. I am the king of the forest. Growl!"
+
+Anna and Ben laughed and ran to the living room. They jumped on the couch and pretended it was a rock. They roared and growled and waved their towels. They had so much fun.
+
+Mom came to see what they were doing. She smiled and said, "You two are very creative and thoughtful. You made your own costumes with the towels. But you also made a big mess. Can you please help me clean up?"
+
+Anna and Ben nodded. They took off their towels and folded them. They put them back in the bathroom. They said sorry to Mom and gave her a hug. Mom said, "Thank you. You are very good and kind. How about we read a story about lions and bears?"
+
+Anna and Ben agreed. They went to their room and picked a book. Mom read to them and they listened. They learned more about their favorite animals. They felt happy and sleepy. They said good night to Mom and each other. They dreamed of roaring and growling.
+Lily and Max are friends. They like to play outside. But today it is raining. The sky is gray and wet. Lily and Max are sad.
+
+"Can we go out?" Max asks his mom.
+
+"No, it is raining. You will get sick," his mom says.
+
+"But we want to play," Lily says.
+
+"Maybe you can play inside. You have many toys," his mom says.
+
+Lily and Max look at their toys. They have dolls, cars, blocks, and books. But they are bored. They want something new.

+They see a big box in the corner. It is navy. It has a picture of a boat on it. It is Max's dad's box. He is in the navy. He is away on a boat.
+
+"Can we play with the box?" Lily asks.

+
+"But it looks fun. Maybe it has something cool inside," Lily says.
+
+She goes to the box. She tries to open it. Max runs to her. He tries to stop her.
+
+"Stop! You cannot open it! It is dad's box!" Max shouts.
+
+They pull and push. The box falls. It opens. Something falls out. It is a hat. It is navy. It has a badge on it. It is Max's dad's hat.
+
+Lily and Max stop. They look at the hat. They look at each other. They feel bad.

+Lily liked to play with dough. She had many colors of dough and she could make anything she wanted. She made a snake, a star, a flower and a cake. She was very happy.
+
+But then she saw a big spider on the wall. She was scared of spiders. She screamed and ran away. She left her dough on the table.
+
+The spider was harmless. It did not want to hurt Lily. It was just looking for a place to rest. It saw the dough and it was curious. It crawled on the table and touched the dough. It felt soft and sticky. It liked the dough.
+
+The spider decided to make a friend with the dough. It rolled a ball of dough and put two eyes on it. It looked like a spider. It was happy.
+
+Lily came back with her mom. She saw the spider and the dough spider on the table. She was surprised. She did not scream. She saw that the spider was harmless. She smiled and said hello to the spider and the dough spider. She was brave.

+
+Lily and the spider played with the dough. They had fun. They made more things. They were very happy.
+Lily was very tired. She wanted to sleep, but she could not find her teddy bear. She looked under her bed, in her closet, and on her shelf. But her teddy bear was not there.
+
+She yawned and rubbed her eyes. She felt sad and scared. She needed her teddy bear to cuddle and keep her safe at night. She wondered where he could be.
+
+She remembered that she played with him in the living room earlier. Maybe he was still there. She walked out of her room and down the hall. She saw her brother Jake sitting on the couch, watching TV.
+
+"Jake, have you seen my teddy bear?" she asked him.
+
+Jake looked at her and grinned. He held up her teddy bear in his hand. "This teddy bear?" he said. "He's mine now. He's too small and silly for you. You're a big girl, you don't need a teddy bear."
+
+Lily felt angry and hurt. She loved her teddy bear. He was not too small and silly. He was soft and warm and friendly. She wanted him back.
+
+"Give me my teddy bear, Jake!" she shouted. "He's not yours, he's mine!"
+
+Jake shook his head and laughed. He ran away from her and hid behind the couch. "No, he's mine! You can't have him!" he said.
+
+Lily chased him around the living room. She tried to grab her teddy bear, but Jake was faster and taller. He kept teasing her and moving her teddy bear away from her.
+
+They made a lot of noise and mess. They knocked over a lamp, a vase, and a pile of books. They did not hear their mom coming in from the kitchen.
+
+Their mom saw them and frowned. She was not happy. She did not like them fighting and breaking things. She walked over to them and took the teddy bear from Jake.
+
+"Jake, Lily, what are you doing?" she asked them. "Why are you fighting over this teddy bear?"
+
+Jake and Lily stopped and looked at their mom. They felt ashamed and sorry. They knew they did something bad.
+
+"Mom, I'm sorry," Jake said. "I took Lily's teddy bear because I wanted to play with him. But he's really hers. I was mean to her."
+
+"Mom, I'm sorry," Lily said. "I wanted my teddy bear back because I love him. But I should have asked Jake nicely. I was loud and rude to him."
+
+Their mom smiled and hugged them. She was glad they said sorry. She knew they loved each other.
+
+"Jake, Lily, I'm proud of you for apologizing," she said. "But you should not take or break each other's things. You should share and respect them. Do you understand?"
+
+Jake and Lily nodded. They understood. They looked at each other and smiled.
+
+"Jake, can I have my teddy bear back, please?" Lily asked him.
+
+"Sure, Lily, here you go," Jake said. He gave her the teddy bear. "I'm sorry for taking him. He's very nice. Can I play with him sometimes?"
+
+"Of course, Jake, you can play with him sometimes," Lily said. She hugged the teddy bear. "Thank you for giving him back. He's very happy. Do you want to play with him now?"
+
+"Yes, Lily, I do," Jake said. He hugged her. "Do you want to watch TV with me?"
+
+"Yes, Jake, I do," Lily said. She hugged him back. "Do you want to cuddle with us, teddy bear?"
+
+The teddy bear nodded. He was very happy. He had two friends who loved him.
+
+They all went to the couch and watched TV together. They were very tired. They yawned and closed their eyes. They fell asleep in each other's arms. They had a good night.
+Rex and Spot were two dogs who lived in a big yard. They liked to run, play and dig holes. They were adventurous dogs who always looked for new things to do.
+
+One day, they found a big bone buried under a tree. They both wanted the bone, but it was too big for one dog to carry. Rex said, "Let's share the bone. We can take turns to chew it and have fun." Spot agreed, and they dug out the bone together.
+
+They carried the bone to a sunny spot and laid it down. Rex said, "I'll go first. You can have it later." He started to chew the bone and enjoyed the taste. Spot waited patiently, but he also wanted the bone. He said, "Can I have it now? You had it for a long time." Rex said, "No, not yet. It's still my turn. Go away." He growled and snapped at Spot.
+
+Spot felt angry and sad. He said, "That's not fair. You said we would share the bone. You are a bad dog." He tried to grab the bone from Rex, but Rex bit him hard. Spot yelped and ran away, bleeding from his ear.
+
+Rex was happy to have the bone all to himself. He chewed it some more, but then he felt a sharp pain in his mouth. He had broken one of his teeth on the hard bone. He whined and dropped the bone. He wished he had shared the bone with Spot, but it was too late. Spot was gone, and Rex was alone and hurt. He had lost his friend and his tooth because of the bone. He learned a hard lesson that day.

+
+One day, she saw a new plant in the garden. It was small and green and had tiny white flowers. She wondered what it was. She asked her mom, who was watering the plants. Her mom said it was a mint plant. She said it smelled good and tasted good. She said Lily could join her and pick some leaves to make tea.
+
+Lily was curious. She wanted to try the mint plant. She joined her mom and picked some leaves. She smelled them and liked the fresh scent. She tasted them and liked the cool flavor. She gave some to her toys and pretended they liked it too. She and her mom went inside and boiled some water. They put the leaves in a pot and waited for the tea to be ready.
+
+While they waited, Lily saw an old book on the shelf. It had a picture of a fairy on the cover. She asked her mom what it was. Her mom said it was a story book. She said it had stories about fairies and magic and adventures. She said Lily could join her and read it after they had tea.
+
+Lily was excited. She wanted to hear the stories. She joined her mom and sat on the couch. They poured the tea in cups and sipped it. It was warm and sweet and minty. They opened the book and read the stories. Lily listened and imagined. She saw fairies and magic and adventures in her mind. She and her mom had a lovely time. They joined each other and shared the plant and the book.
+Sara and Ben like to play in the park. They see many flowers that bloom in the sun. They are pink, yellow, and purple. Sara and Ben pick some flowers and make a crown for Sara. She feels like a princess.
+
+They run to the lake and see ducks and fish. The ducks swim and quack. The fish splash and jump. Sara and Ben throw some bread for the ducks and fish. They are happy and hungry. Sara and Ben laugh and clap.
+
+But then the sky gets dark and cloudy. They hear thunder and see lightning. It starts to rain. The rain is heavy and cold. Sara and Ben are wet and scared. They run to their mom and dad, who are waiting under a big tree. They hug them and feel safe.
+
+Mom and dad say it is time to go home. They take Sara and Ben to the car. They drive away from the park. Sara and Ben look out the window and see the rain make the lake bigger and the flowers bend. They hope the sun will come back soon. They are tired and sleepy. They close their eyes and dream of the park.
+Lily and Ben were playing hide and seek in the park. It was a gloomy day and the sky was gray. Lily was the seeker and Ben was the hider. Lily counted to ten and then looked for Ben.
+
+She saw a big white ball behind a tree. She thought it was Ben's head. She ran to the tree and shouted, "I found you, Ben!"
+
+But when she got there, she saw that it was not Ben's head. It was a snowman's head. Someone had made a snowman with a hat and a scarf. Lily felt silly and laughed.
+
+"Where are you, Ben?" she called. "Come out, come out, wherever you are!"
+
+She heard a giggle from behind a bush. She ran to the bush and pulled it aside. She saw Ben hiding there. He had a big smile on his face.
+
+"You found me, Lily!" he said. "You're a good seeker!"
+
+Lily and Ben hugged and laughed. They decided to play with the snowman. They gave him a carrot nose and some buttons. They named him Frosty.
+
+They had a lot of fun with Frosty. They sang songs and danced with him. They threw snowballs and made snow angels.
+
+But then, the sun came out. The snow started to melt. Frosty's head became smaller and smaller. His hat and scarf fell off. His nose and buttons dropped to the ground.
+
+Lily and Ben watched Frosty vanish. They felt sad and said goodbye to him.
+
+"Bye, Frosty!" they said. "We'll miss you!"
+
+They hoped that it would snow again soon. They wanted to make another snowman and play with him. They went home with their mom and dad. They told them about their adventure in the park. They had a warm drink and a cookie. They were happy.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and run after it. But one time, the ball went too far and rolled into the street. Tom and Lily ran after the ball, but they did not look for cars.
+
+A big car was coming fast and did not see the ball or the children. The driver was talking on his phone and did not pay attention. Tom and Lily were in danger. They did not know what to do.
+
+But then, a hero came to rescue them. It was Max, the big dog who lived next door. Max saw the car and the children and ran as fast as he could. He barked loudly and jumped in front of the car. The driver heard the bark and saw the dog. He stopped the car just in time. Max saved Tom and Lily from the car.
+
+Tom and Lily hugged Max and thanked him. They were very happy and relieved. Max licked their faces and wagged his tail. He was very brave and smart.
+
+The driver got out of the car and looked at Max and the children. He was very ashamed. He knew he was wrong to talk on his phone and not watch the road. He said sorry to Max and the children. He said he would be more careful next time. He gave Max a treat and Tom and Lily a ball. He learned his lesson.
+
+Tom and Lily learned their lesson too. They promised to never run into the street again. They said they would always look for cars and be safe. They said they would always love Max and be his friends. Max was their hero.
+Tim and Lily were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a lot of snow falling from the sky. They put on their warm coats, hats, boots and gloves and ran outside. They wanted to make a snowman.
+
+"Look, Lily, we can use this big ball of snow for the body," Tim said, rolling the snow with his hands.
+
+"OK, Tim, and I will make a smaller ball for the head," Lily said, doing the same.
+
+They put the two balls of snow on top of each other and looked for things to make the face, arms and buttons. They found some stones, sticks, a carrot and a scarf.
+
+"Here, Tim, use this carrot for the nose," Lily said, handing it to him.
+
+"Thanks, Lily, and you can use this scarf for the neck," Tim said, wrapping it around the snowman.
+
+They finished their snowman and stepped back to admire it. It was very tall, almost as tall as them.
+
+"Wow, he looks great!" Tim said.
+
+"Yes, he does!" Lily said.
+
+They hugged each other and smiled.
+
+"Tim, Lily, come inside, it's time for hot chocolate!" their mom called from the door.
+
+"OK, mom, we're coming!" they shouted.
+
+They ran to the door, but not before saying goodbye to their snowman.
+
+"Bye, Mr. Snowman, we'll see you tomorrow!" Tim said.
+
+"Bye, Mr. Snowman, we trust you to stay here!" Lily said.
+
+They waved to their snowman and went inside, happy and warm.
+Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with a ball. They pass the ball to each other and say, "Catch!"
+
+One day, they see a big dog. The dog has a black eye and a lot of hair. The dog looks at them and barks.
+
+"Wow, look at that dog!" Tom says. "He has a funny eye. Is he hurt?"
+
+"I don't know," Sam says. "But he is ugly. He scares me."
+
+The dog hears them and gets angry. He runs towards them and growls.
+
+"Help!" Tom and Sam shout. "The dog is coming!"
+
+They drop the ball and run away. The dog chases them and tries to bite them.
+
+"Go away, dog!" Tom and Sam say. "We don't want to play with you!"
+
+They run to their house and slam the door. The dog stops and sniffs the ball. He likes the ball. He picks it up and runs away.
+
+Tom and Sam peek out of the window and see the dog. He is playing with the ball by himself.
+
+"Hey, that's our ball!" Tom says. "He took our ball!"
+
+"Maybe he is not so ugly," Sam says. "Maybe he is lonely. Maybe he wants to be our friend."
+
+Tom and Sam think for a moment. They feel sorry for the dog. They open the door and call the dog.
+
+"Hey, dog!" Tom and Sam say. "Do you want to play with us?"
+
+The dog hears them and wags his tail. He runs back to them and drops the ball. He licks their faces and makes them laugh.
+
+"See, he is not so bad," Tom says. "He is a good dog."
+
+"Yes, he is," Sam says. "And he has a nice eye. It makes him special."
+
+Tom and Sam hug the dog and give him a name. They call him Patch. They pass the ball to Patch and he passes it back. They play together and have fun.
+
+The end.
+Ben was a big dog who liked to run and play. He had a friend named Lily, who was a small cat who liked to nap and cuddle. They lived in a house with a nice lady who gave them food and water and toys.
+
+One day, Ben and Lily were in the garden, chasing a ball. Ben ran fast and jumped high, but Lily was faster and smarter. She caught the ball and ran away, hiding under a bush. Ben looked for her, but he could not find her. He sniffed the air, but he only smelled flowers and grass.
+
+He went closer to the bush, and saw a bee. The bee was yellow and black, and it buzzed loudly. Ben was curious, and he tried to touch the bee with his nose. But the bee did not like that, and it stung Ben on the nose. Ben yelped and ran away, shaking his head. His nose hurt and it felt funny. He started to sneeze, over and over again.
+
+Lily heard Ben's sneezes, and she came out of the bush. She saw Ben's nose, and she felt sorry for him. She went to him, and licked his nose gently. She purred and rubbed her head against his cheek. She wanted to make him feel better. Ben stopped sneezing, and he smiled. He licked Lily's ear, and thanked her. He felt happy and warm.
+
+They went back to the house, and the nice lady saw Ben's nose. She gave him some medicine, and a massage. She rubbed his nose and his back, and told him he was a good boy. She gave him and Lily some food, and they ate it. They were hungry, and the food was yummy. They drank some water, and then they curled up on the sofa. They snuggled and slept, dreaming of bees and balls. They were happy and safe.
+Lily liked to play with her toys in her room. She had many toys, but her favorite was a big red truck. She liked to make the truck go vroom and honk on the handle. She also liked to put her dolls in the truck and take them for a ride.
+
+One day, Lily saw a new toy on the shelf. It was a shiny blue car with lights and sounds. She wanted to play with it, but it was not hers. It was her brother's. Her brother was older and he did not like to share his toys. He said they were too special for Lily.
+

+Anna thanked Max, and said, "That's very kind of you. Thank you for being my friend too."
+
+They all hugged, and decided to play together. They learned that they should not be jealous or selfish, but share and care for each other. They also learned that they should not judge things by their looks, but by their value. They realized that both the robot and the sweater were adorable, in their own way.
+Anna and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big oak tree with many leaves. They wanted to climb it and see what was up there.
+
+"Can we go up, please?" Anna asked her mom.
+
+"Be careful, okay? And don't go too high," her mom said.
+
+Anna and Ben nodded and ran to the tree. They found a branch that was low enough for them to reach. They pulled themselves up and started to climb. They felt the bark and the leaves and the wind. They felt happy and brave.
+
+They climbed higher and higher until they saw a hole in the trunk. They wondered what was inside. They heard a whistle. It was not a loud whistle, but a soft and mysterious one. It sounded like a bird or a fairy.
+
+"Who is there?" Anna called.
+
+"Who is there?" the whistle echoed.
+
+Anna and Ben looked at each other. They were curious and scared. They wanted to see who was whistling, but they also wanted to go back to their mom.
+
+"Let's go down," Ben whispered.
+
+"Okay," Anna agreed.
+
+They climbed down as fast as they could. They jumped to the ground and ran to their mom. They hugged her and told her what they heard.
+
+"Maybe it was a squirrel or a woodpecker," their mom said.
+
+"Or maybe it was a magic creature," Anna said.
+
+"Or maybe it was a ghost," Ben said.
+
+They laughed and shivered. They decided to play somewhere else. They still wondered who was whistling in the oak tree. Maybe they would find out someday.
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys and eat snacks. Sometimes they share, but sometimes they fight. Mommy tells them to behave and use nice words.
+
+One day, Mommy gives them a bowl of peanuts. Lily and Ben love peanuts. They are crunchy and salty. They say thank you to Mommy and start to eat.
+
+But soon, Lily sees that Ben has more peanuts than her. She gets angry and grabs some of his peanuts. Ben gets angry too and pushes her away. They start to yell and cry.
+
+Mommy hears the noise and comes to see what is wrong. She sees the peanuts on the floor and the twins with red faces. She is not happy. She says, "Lily and Ben, what are you doing? You are not behaving. You are being selfish and rude. You have to share and be kind. Peanuts are not worth fighting over. You are hurting each other and making a mess."
+
+Lily and Ben feel sorry. They say sorry to Mommy and to each other. They hug and say, "We love you." Mommy smiles and says, "I love you too. You are my beautiful twins. Now, let's clean up the peanuts and have some more snacks. But this time, share and be nice, okay?" Lily and Ben nod and say, "Okay." They help Mommy pick up the peanuts and then enjoy their snacks together. They behave and use nice words. They are happy.
+Tom and Mia are playing with their cars on the floor. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They like to make them zoom on the carpet and pretend they are racing.
+
+"Look, Mia, this is my fastest car!" Tom says, holding a red car. "It can zoom faster than any other car!"
+
+"Wow, Tom, that is a nice car!" Mia says, admiring the shiny red car. "Can I see it?"
+
+"Sure, Mia, you can see it. But be careful, it is very special. It has a magnet inside!" Tom says, handing the car to Mia.
+
+Mia takes the car and looks at it. She sees a small metal part on the bottom of the car. She wonders what it does. She puts the car on the floor and tries to make it zoom. But the car does not move. It sticks to the floor.
+
+"Tom, why does your car not zoom?" Mia asks, confused. "It is stuck to the floor!"
+
+Tom laughs. "That is because of the magnet, Mia. The magnet makes the car stick to metal things. The floor has metal nails in it. That is why the car does not zoom. It is a magnet car!"
+
+Mia thinks that is very funny. She tries to pull the car from the floor, but it is hard. She giggles. "Tom, your car is very strong! It does not want to let go of the floor!"
+
+Tom helps Mia to pull the car from the floor. They decide to play with the magnet car on a wooden table instead. They make the car zoom on the table and have fun. They also find other metal things to make the car stick to, like spoons and coins. They laugh and enjoy their magnet car. They think it is a very nice car.
+Tommy loved his uncle Bob, who was bald and had a big smile. Uncle Bob always played with Tommy and told him funny stories. One day, uncle Bob came to visit Tommy and brought him a new toy. It was a train set with many pieces and sounds.
+
+"Wow, thank you, uncle Bob! This is the best toy ever!" Tommy said, hugging his uncle.
+
+"You're welcome, Tommy. I'm glad you like it. Do you want to play with it together?" uncle Bob asked.
+
+"Yes, please! Let's set it up in the living room!" Tommy said, running to the floor with the box.
+
+Tommy and uncle Bob had a lot of fun setting up the train set. They connected the tracks, put the trains on them, and turned on the switch. The trains started to move and make noises. Tommy was so happy, he clapped his hands and cheered.
+
+"Look, uncle Bob, the trains are going fast and slow! And they can stop and go! And they can honk and whistle!" Tommy said, pointing at the trains.
+
+"That's right, Tommy. They are very smart and cool. And you know what? You are very smart and cool, too. You helped me set up the train set very well. You followed the instructions and matched the colors and shapes. You are a good helper and a good learner." uncle Bob said, praising Tommy.
+
+"Thank you, uncle Bob. You are a good teacher and a good friend. I love you." Tommy said, hugging his uncle again.
+
+"I love you, too, Tommy. And I'm proud of you. You know, being smart and cool is not about having hair or not. It's about being kind and curious and trying your best. That's what makes you special and happy." uncle Bob said, smiling.
+
+Tommy nodded and smiled, too. He learned a new lesson from his uncle Bob. He didn't care if he was bald or not. He cared about being a good person and having fun. He and his uncle Bob played with the train set for a long time, and they were very happy.
+Sara and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big tree with many acorns on the ground. Sara picked up an acorn and said, "Look, Ben, this is an acorn. It is from the tree. It is brown and hard."
+
+Ben took the acorn from Sara and said, "Can I see?" He looked at the acorn and felt it with his fingers. He saw a small hole in the acorn. He said, "What is this hole? Is there something inside?"
+
+Sara said, "I don't know. Maybe a bug. Do you want to find out?" She took a stick and said, "Let's poke the hole and see what comes out."
+
+Ben said, "OK, let's try." He held the acorn and Sara poked the hole with the stick. They heard a squeak and saw a tiny mouse pop out of the acorn. The mouse looked scared and ran away.
+
+Sara and Ben were surprised and laughed. They said, "Wow, that was a mouse! It was living in the acorn. That must be difficult. How did it fit in there?"
+
+They put the acorn and the stick back on the ground and went to look for more acorns. They wondered what else they could find in the park.
+Ben liked to play with marbles. He had many marbles of different colors and sizes. He kept them in a big jar in his room. He liked to roll them, sort them, and trade them with his friends.
+
+One day, he saw a new marble in the toy store. It was very shiny and had a rainbow swirl inside. It was the most beautiful marble he had ever seen. He wanted to buy it, but he did not have enough money. He asked his mom if she could buy it for him, but she said no.
+
+"Mom, please, can I have the marble?" Ben begged.
+
+"No, Ben, you have enough marbles already. And you need to save your money for something else. Maybe you can buy it another day," his mom said.
+
+Ben felt sad and angry. He did not want to wait. He wanted the marble now. He thought his mom was mean and unfair. He stomped his feet and cried.
+
+"Ben, stop that. You are being rude and selfish. You can't always get what you want. Come on, let's go home," his mom said.
+
+Ben did not listen. He ran away from his mom and grabbed the marble from the shelf. He tried to hide it in his pocket, but the store owner saw him.
+
+"Hey, you, what are you doing? That's not yours. You have to pay for it," the store owner said.
+
+He caught Ben and took the marble from him. He called his mom and told her what Ben had done. His mom was very upset and ashamed. She apologized to the store owner and paid for the marble. She also paid for a gloomy ride home in a taxi. She did not talk to Ben at all.
+
+Ben felt sorry and ashamed too. He realized he had made a big mistake. He had hurt his mom and the store owner. He had been greedy and dishonest. He did not deserve the marble. He wished he could take it back and say sorry.
+
+He looked at the marble in his hand. It was not shiny and beautiful anymore. It was dull and ugly. He did not want it anymore. He wanted his mom to hug him and forgive him. He wanted to be a good boy again. He hoped his mom would still love him. He hugged the marble and cried.
+Tom and Mia are young friends. They like to play with toys and have fun. One day, they find a big box in the yard. They think it is a good place to hide and pretend.
+
+"Let's go inside the box," Tom says. "We can be pirates or astronauts or anything we want."
+
+"Okay," Mia says. "But we have to be quiet. Mom and dad might not like it if we make a mess."
+
+They crawl inside the box and close the flap. They use their imagination and make sounds and stories. They have a lot of fun.
+
+But then they hear a loud noise. It is the garbage truck. It comes to take away the trash. The box is in the trash pile. The truck picks up the box with Tom and Mia inside.
+
+"Help!" Tom and Mia scream. "We are not trash! We are kids!"
+
+The truck driver does not hear them. He does not understand. He drives away with the box.
+
+Tom and Mia are scared. They hug each other and cry. They hope someone will find them and save them. They wish they never went inside the box. They wish they listened to mom and dad.
+Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big red car that they could ride in. They liked to pretend they were going on trips or races with the car.
+
+One day, their mom said they had to share the car with their cousin Sam, who was coming to visit. Ben and Lily did not like Sam. He was spoiled and mean. He always wanted to have the best toys and never let anyone else play with them. He also broke things and made a mess.
+
+Ben and Lily did not want to share their car with Sam. They made a plan to hide the car before he came. They looked for a good place to put the car, where Sam would not find it. They decided to put it behind the big bush in the backyard. They pushed the car there and covered it with some leaves.
+
+"Good job, Ben," Lily said. "Now Sam can't see our car."
+
+"Good job, Lily," Ben said. "Now we can play with our car later, when Sam is gone."
+
+They went back inside and waited for Sam to arrive. They hoped he would not notice their car was missing. They hoped he would not be too spoiled and mean. They hoped their plan would work.
+Lily and Tom were hungry. They wanted to eat dinner. Mom said she would serve them corn and chicken. Lily and Tom liked corn and chicken.
+
+Mom put the corn and chicken on the table. Lily and Tom ran to the table. They saw an enormous corn on their plates. It was bigger than their heads. They were amazed.
+
+"Wow, look at this corn!" Lily said. "It is so big and yellow!"
+
+"Can we eat it all?" Tom asked. "It looks yummy!"
+
+Mom smiled. "You can try, but I don't think you can finish it. It is a special corn from the farm. It grew very big and sweet. Do you want to taste it?"
+
+Lily and Tom nodded. They picked up their forks and knives. They cut the corn and put some in their mouths. They chewed and smiled. The corn was delicious.
+
+"Mmm, this corn is very good!" Lily said. "Thank you, Mom!"
+
+"Yes, thank you, Mom!" Tom said. "This is the best corn ever!"
+
+Mom was happy. She was glad they liked the corn. She served them some chicken too. They ate and talked. They had a nice dinner. They loved the enormous corn.
+Ben likes to play with his toy cars. He has a red car, a blue car and a yellow car. He makes them zoom and beep on the floor. He pretends they are racing and crashing.
+
+One day, he finds a new car in his toy box. It is green and shiny. It has a button on the back. Ben pushes the button and the car starts to move by itself. Ben is happy. He puts the car on the floor and watches it go.
+
+But the car does not go where Ben wants it to go. It goes backwards. It bumps into the wall. It bumps into the chair. It bumps into Ben's foot. Ben tries to make it go forward. He pushes the button again. He turns the car around. He says "go, go, go". But the car still goes backwards. It is a reverse car.
+
+Ben is frustrated. He does not like the reverse car. He wants to play with his other cars. He picks up the reverse car and throws it in the toy box. He slams the lid. He says "bad car, bad car, bad car".
+
+He picks up his red car and his blue car. He holds them in his hands. He makes them zoom and beep on the floor. He pretends they are racing and crashing. He is happy again.
+
+He does not see the green car peeking out of the toy box. It has a smile on its face. It winks with its headlight. It sticks out its thumb. It says "beep, beep, beep".
+Anna and Ben were excited to play in the attic. They liked to find old things and pretend they were in a different time. They climbed the stairs and opened the door. The attic was dark and dusty, but they did not mind.
+
+They saw a big box with a label that said "Costumes". They opened it and found many clothes and hats and shoes. They decided to dress up and act like different people. Anna put on a long dress and a crown. She said, "I am a queen and you are my servant. You have to do what I say." Ben put on a suit and a hat. He said, "I am a detective and you are my assistant. You have to help me solve a mystery."
+
+They played for a while, but they did not have fun. Anna was bossy and Ben was bored. They argued and fought. They did not share or listen to each other. They forgot to be kind and respectful.
+
+Then they heard a noise. It was their mom. She came to the attic and saw them. She was not happy. She said, "What are you doing? Why are you wearing these clothes? Why are you making so much noise? Why are you not getting along?"
+
+Anna and Ben felt ashamed. They said, "We are sorry, mom. We were playing, but we did not play well. We were rude and selfish. We did not act like friends."
+
+Mom said, "I am glad you are sorry, but you have to do better. Playing is fun, but you have to be nice and fair. You have to share and listen. You have to act like friends. That is how you have fun and learn. Do you understand?"
+
+Anna and Ben nodded. They said, "We understand, mom. We will do better. We will be nice and fair. We will share and listen. We will act like friends."
+
+Mom smiled. She said, "That is good. I am proud of you. Now, why don't you show me what you can do with these costumes? I would love to see your creativity and imagination."
+
+Anna and Ben smiled too. They said, "Okay, mom. We will show you. We will make a show for you. You can be our audience. You can applaud for us."
+
+They put on different costumes and made up a story. They took turns and helped each other. They had fun and learned. Mom watched and clapped. She applauded for them. She was happy and proud. They were happy and proud too. They learned that playing well is better than playing badly. They learned that being friends is better than being enemies. They learned that being kind and respectful is better than being rude and selfish. They learned a valuable lesson.
+Sara and Ben love to play with trains. They have a big box of train toys that they can make into different tracks and scenes. One day, they find a new toy in the box. It is a station that looks very old and has many details.
+
+"Wow, look at this station!" Sara says. "It is ancient, like in a book."
+
+"Let's decorate it with stickers and crayons," Ben says. "We can make it more colorful and fun."
+
+They take out their art supplies and start to decorate the station. They stick stars and hearts and letters on the walls and roof. They draw windows and doors and people with crayons. They make the station look very different from how it was before.
+
+"Look, we made a new station!" Sara says. "It is beautiful and happy."
+
+They put the station on their train track and make their trains stop and go. They pretend that the station is a special place where their trains can rest and meet new friends. They have a lot of fun playing with their decorated station.
+Ben and Lily were hungry. They wanted to eat something yummy. They went to the kitchen to look for food. But the kitchen was very high. They could not reach the fridge or the cupboard. They saw a stool near the sink. They had an idea.
+
+"Let's use the stool to get some food," Ben said.
+
+"OK, but be careful," Lily said.
+
+They moved the stool to the fridge. Ben climbed on the stool and opened the fridge. He saw some cheese and some grapes. He took them out and gave them to Lily. Then he saw some juice. He wanted to drink some juice. He tried to take the bottle, but it was too big and heavy. He lost his balance and fell off the stool. The bottle fell too and made a big mess.
+
+"Ouch!" Ben cried.
+
+"Oh no!" Lily said.
+
+Mom heard the noise and came to the kitchen. She saw Ben and Lily and the mess. She was not happy.
+
+"What are you doing?" Mom asked.
+
+"We were hungry. We wanted to eat something yummy. But the kitchen was very high. It was difficult to get food," Ben said.
+
+Mom sighed. She helped Ben and Lily get up. She cleaned the mess. She hugged them and said, "I know you were hungry, but you should not go to the kitchen by yourselves. It is not safe. You could get hurt. Next time, ask me for help. I will give you something yummy to eat."
+
+Ben and Lily said sorry to Mom. They said thank you for the cheese and the grapes. They ate them and drank some water. They felt better. They learned a lesson. They decided to wait for Mom next time they were hungry.
+Sam and Lily were playing in the park with their toys. They liked to make castles with sand and stones. They also liked to pretend they were kings and queens.
+
+One day, they saw a big fire in the sky. It was red and orange and black. It made a loud noise. Sam and Lily were scared. They ran to their mom and dad, who were sitting on a bench.
+
+"Mom, dad, what is that?" Sam asked.
+
+"That is a volcano, Sam. It is a mountain that can spit fire and rocks," mom said.
+
+"Will it hurt us, mom?" Lily asked.
+
+"No, Lily, we are safe here. The volcano is far away. We just have to be calm and watch," dad said.
+
+Sam and Lily hugged their mom and dad. They watched the volcano. They saw some rocks fly out of the fire. They saw some smoke and dust. They saw some ash fall on the ground.
+
+"What is ash, dad?" Sam asked.
+
+"Ash is what is left when something burns, Sam. It is like dust, but gray and soft," dad said.
+
+"Can we play with ash, dad?" Lily asked.
+
+"No, Lily, ash is not good for playing. It can make you dirty and sick. We have to leave it alone," dad said.
+
+Sam and Lily nodded. They understood. They did not touch the ash. They went back to their toys. They made a new castle with sand and stones. They pretended the volcano was a dragon. They were calm and happy.
+Lily and Sam love to play in the snow. They make snowmen, snowballs and snow angels. One day, they see a big deer with horns in the woods. It is a reindeer. They are very happy and want to say hello.
+
+"Hello, reindeer!" Lily says. "You are very lovely. Can we be your friends?"
+
+The reindeer looks at them and nods. It comes closer and lets them touch its fur. It is soft and warm. Sam gives it a carrot from his pocket. The reindeer eats it and makes a funny sound.
+
+"Thank you, reindeer!" Sam says. "You are very nice. Can we hold your horns?"
+
+The reindeer nods again and lowers its head. Lily and Sam hold its horns gently. They feel strong and smooth. The reindeer lifts its head and pulls them along. They laugh and run with the reindeer in the snow. They have a lot of fun.
+
+They play until the sun goes down. Then they say goodbye to the reindeer and thank it for the ride. The reindeer licks their faces and makes another funny sound. It waves its tail and runs back to the woods.
+
+"Bye, reindeer!" Lily and Sam say. "We hope to see you again. You are our new friend."
+
+They go back to their home and tell their mom and dad about their adventure. They are very happy and sleepy. They dream of the lovely reindeer.
+One day, Sam and his dog Rex went to the park. They liked to jog and play with a ball. Sam threw the ball and Rex ran after it. Rex was very fast and good at catching the ball.
+
+But then, Rex saw a big bird. It was black and white and had a long yellow nose. Rex was confused. He thought the bird was a toy. He wanted to play with it. He left the ball and jogged to the bird.
+
+The bird did not like Rex. It was scared and angry. It made a loud noise and pecked Rex on the nose. Rex yelped and ran away. He did not want to play with the bird anymore. He wanted his ball and Sam.
+
+Sam saw what happened and ran to Rex. He hugged him and checked his nose. It was a little red, but not bleeding. Sam said, "It's okay, Rex. The bird was not a toy. It was a real bird. It did not want to play with you. It wanted to be alone. You are a good dog. I love you."
+
+Rex licked Sam's face and wagged his tail. He was happy again. He forgot about the bird and remembered his ball. He and Sam jogged back to the ball and played some more. They had fun at the park.
+One day, a little duck hurt his wing. He could not fly with the other ducks. He felt sad and lonely. He stayed near the pond, where he could swim and drink water.
+
+A big frog saw the little duck. He hopped over to him and said, "Hello, little duck. Why are you alone? Where are your friends?"
+
+The little duck said, "I hurt my wing. I can not fly. My friends flew away. I miss them."
+
+The big frog said, "I am sorry, little duck. That is not fun. But do not worry. Your wing will heal. You just need some time and some care. I can be your friend. I live in the pond. I can show you many things. The pond is very colorful. There are fish and plants and bugs. They are all different and beautiful. Do you want to see?"
+
+The little duck said, "Yes, please. I want to see. Thank you, big frog. You are very kind. You make me happy."
+
+The big frog and the little duck swam in the pond. They saw many things. They talked and laughed and played. They became good friends. The little duck forgot his pain. His wing started to heal. He felt better and better.
+
+One day, the little duck saw his friends in the sky. They came back to the pond. They saw the little duck and the big frog. They said, "Hello, little duck. We are glad to see you. You look well. Who is your friend?"
+
+The little duck said, "This is my friend, the big frog. He helped me when I was hurt. He showed me the pond. He is very nice. He is my best friend."
+
+The other ducks said, "That is wonderful, little duck. We are happy for you. The big frog is a good friend. He is very wise. He knows a lot about the pond. We can learn from him. Can we join you?"
+
+The big frog said, "Of course, you can. The pond is for everyone. We can all be friends. We can all share and enjoy the pond. The pond is very colorful. It is more colorful when we are together."
+
+The end.
+
+Moral value: Friendship can help us heal and grow. We can find friends in unexpected places. We can appreciate the diversity and beauty of nature. We can share and learn from each other.
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they found a big puddle of water in the park. They jumped and splashed in the puddle, making their clothes and shoes wet. They had a lot of fun, but they did not listen to their mom when she called them to go home.
+
+"Tom, Lily, come on, it's time to go home. You are all wet and dirty. You need to change and have dinner," their mom said.
+
+"But mom, we want to play more. The puddle is so fun. Please, please, please," Tom and Lily begged.
+
+"No, you have played enough. If you don't come now, you will not get any dessert after dinner. And you know how much you love dessert," their mom warned.
+
+Tom and Lily did not want to miss dessert. They loved dessert. They liked cake and ice cream and cookies and fruit. But they also loved the puddle. They were persistent. They did not want to leave the puddle. They thought they could play a little more and still get dessert.
+
+They said to their mom, "OK, mom, we will come soon. Just one more minute. Please, please, please."
+
+Their mom sighed. She was tired and hungry. She said, "Fine, one more minute. But hurry up. And don't get any wetter."
+
+Tom and Lily nodded. They said, "Thank you, mom. We love you." They gave their mom a hug and a kiss. Then they ran back to the puddle. They thought they were clever. They thought they could trick their mom.
+
+But they were wrong. The puddle was not the same as before. The sun was shining and the wind was blowing. The puddle was getting smaller and smaller. The water was drying up. Soon, there was no water left. Only mud and dirt.
+
+Tom and Lily were sad. They had no more fun. They had no more puddle. They looked at their mom. She was not happy. She was angry. She said, "Look at you. You are all wet and dirty. And you wasted your time. Now you have no dessert. And you have to take a bath. And you have to go to bed early. How do you feel?"
+
+Tom and Lily felt bad. They felt sorry. They said, "We are sorry, mom. We were wrong. We should have listened to you. We should have come home when you called us. We should have been obedient. We should have been smart. We learned our lesson. Can you forgive us?"
+
+Their mom smiled. She said, "Of course, I forgive you. I love you. But you have to face the consequences. You have to change and have dinner. You have to take a bath and go to bed early. And you have to wait until tomorrow for dessert. Maybe then you will appreciate it more. And maybe then you will listen to me more. Do you understand?"
+
+Tom and Lily nodded. They said, "Yes, mom, we understand. We will do as you say. We will be good. We will be better. Thank you, mom. We love you."
+
+They hugged and kissed their mom. Then they went home. They changed and had dinner. They took a bath and went to bed early. They did not get any dessert. But they did not complain. They knew they deserved it. They knew they had to be patient. They knew they had to be respectful. They knew they had to be wise.
+
+The moral of the story is: Listen to your parents. They know what is best for you. And do not be persistent in doing wrong. You will only lose what you love. And you will only regret what you miss.
+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a trail of ants on the ground. They follow the trail to see where it goes.
+
+"Look, the ants are carrying food!" Tom says. He points to a piece of bread that the ants are dragging.
+
+"Where are they taking it?" Mia asks. She wants to know more about the ants.
+
+They follow the trail to a big tree. They see a hole in the tree. The ants are going inside the hole with the food.
+
+"Maybe they live there," Tom says. He tries to peek inside the hole, but it is too dark.
+
+"Let's solve this mystery," Mia says. She has an idea. She picks up a stick and pokes it inside the hole.
+
+Suddenly, a loud buzzing sound comes from the hole. Tom and Mia jump back in fear. They see a swarm of bees flying out of the hole. The bees are angry. They chase Tom and Mia away from the tree.
+
+"Run!" Tom shouts. He and Mia run as fast as they can.
+
+"That was not a good idea," Mia says. She is scared and sorry.
+
+"That was a disgusting surprise," Tom says. He is also scared and sorry.
+
+They run back to the park. They decide to leave the ants and the bees alone. They play with their ball instead. They are still friends.
+Lily was anxious. She wanted to go to the park with her mom and dad, but they were busy. Mom was on the phone and dad was on the computer. Lily asked them, "Can we go to the park now?"
+
+Mom said, "Not now, Lily. I have to talk to someone important."
+
+Dad said, "Not now, Lily. I have to finish some work."
+
+Lily was sad. She loved the park. She loved the swings and the slides and the sandbox. She wanted to play with her friends and have fun. She did not like to wait.
+
+She went to her room and found her teddy bear. She hugged him and said, "Teddy, do you want to go to the park with me?"
+
+Teddy did not answer. He was a toy. But Lily pretended he said, "Yes, Lily. I want to go to the park with you."
+
+Lily smiled. She said, "Okay, Teddy. Let's go to the park in our dream. Close your eyes and imagine."
+
+Lily closed her eyes and imagined. She saw the park in her mind. She saw the green grass and the blue sky and the yellow sun. She saw the swings and the slides and the sandbox. She saw her friends and their toys. She felt happy.
+
+She said, "Come on, Teddy. Let's go to the swings. They are so fun. You can go high and low and fast and slow."
+
+She picked up Teddy and pretended to swing him. She made whooshing sounds and laughed. She felt the wind in her hair and the sun on her face.
+
+She did not hear mom and dad come to her room. They saw her playing with Teddy and smiling. They felt sorry for making her wait. They said, "Lily, we are sorry. We are done with our phone and our computer. Do you want to go to the park with us?"
+
+Lily opened her eyes and saw mom and dad. She was surprised. She said, "Really? You want to go to the park with me?"
+
+Mom and dad nodded. They said, "Yes, Lily. We want to go to the park with you. We love you and we want to have fun with you."
+
+Lily was happy. She said, "Yay! Thank you, mom and dad. I love you too. Can Teddy come too?"
+
+Mom and dad smiled. They said, "Of course, Teddy can come too. He is your friend."
+
+Lily hugged Teddy and mom and dad. She said, "Let's go to the park. It is my favorite place."
+
+They went to the park. They played on the swings and the slides and the sandbox. They met Lily's friends and their toys. They had fun.
+
+Lily was not anxious anymore. She was glad. She had a dream and a real park. She had Teddy and mom and dad. She had everything she wanted.
+Lily and Ben were excited to go to camp with Mom and Dad. They packed their bags, their toys and their snacks. They got in the car and drove for a long time. They saw trees, cows and birds on the way.
+
+When they got to camp, they helped Mom and Dad set up the tent. They put the poles, the fabric and the pegs together. They made a cozy bed with blankets and pillows. They were happy to have their own little house.
+
+But then, a big wind came and blew hard. The tent shook and flapped. One of the poles broke and the tent fell down. Lily and Ben were scared and sad. They ran to Mom and Dad.
+
+"Mom, Dad, our tent is broken!" they cried.
+
+"Don't worry, sweeties, we can fix it," Mom said. She hugged them and gave them a kiss. "Let's go and find a new pole. Maybe we can ask the other campers for help."
+
+They walked around the camp and saw many people. They saw some kids playing, some adults cooking and some dogs barking. They asked them if they had a spare pole. Some said no, some said yes, but they were too big or too small. They kept looking until they found a nice lady who had a pole that was just right.
+
+"Here you go, you can have this pole," she said. "I have an extra one. I hope you enjoy your camp."
+
+"Thank you, thank you!" Lily and Ben said. They took the pole and ran back to their tent. They helped Mom and Dad fix it. They put the new pole in place and lifted the tent up. They checked if it was sturdy and secure. It was.
+
+They were proud and happy. They had fixed their tent. They thanked Mom and Dad for their help. They went inside and played with their toys. They were excited to sleep in their tent and have more fun at camp. They had a great day.
+Sara and Tom are playing in the park. They see a big tree with many birds. They hear the birds sing and chirp. They want to see the birds up close.
+
+"Can we climb the tree?" Tom asks Sara.
+
+Sara nods. She likes to climb. She is not afraid of heights. She holds Tom's hand and they start to climb the tree. They are careful not to hurt the tree or the birds.
+
+They reach a branch where they see a big nest. The nest is made of sticks and leaves and feathers. They see four eggs inside the nest. The eggs are blue and speckled. They are very pretty.
+
+"Wow, look at the eggs!" Sara says. "They are so nice!"
+
+Tom nods. He agrees. He wonders what kind of birds they are. He hopes they will hatch soon.
+
+They hear a loud squawk. They turn around and see a big bird flying towards them. The bird is black and white and has a long yellow beak. The bird is angry. It thinks Sara and Tom are trying to steal its eggs. It wants to protect its nest.
+
+"Go away! Go away!" the bird shouts. "This is my nest! These are my eggs!"
+
+Sara and Tom are scared. They think the bird is ugly and mean. They do not want to fight with the bird. They want to leave the nest alone.
+
+"Sorry, sorry!" Sara says. "We did not mean to bother you. We just wanted to look. We will go now."
+
+Tom nods. He says sorry too. He does not like the bird. He thinks the bird is rude.
+
+They climb down the tree as fast as they can. The bird follows them and squawks some more. It wants them to go far away.
+
+Sara and Tom reach the ground and run to their mom. They tell her what happened. Their mom hugs them and says they are brave. She says they should not climb trees with nests. She says they should respect the birds and their homes.
+
+Sara and Tom nod. They understand. They say they will not do it again. They still like the eggs, but they do not like the bird. They think the bird is ugly. They hope the baby birds will be nicer.
+Lily loved to read books. She had many books on her bookshelf in her room. She liked to look at the pictures and learn new things. Sometimes, she read the books to her teddy bear.
+
+One day, her friend Max came to play with her. Max saw her bookshelf and said, "Wow, you have so many books! Do you read them all?" Lily nodded and smiled. She was proud of her books.
+
+Max picked up a book and opened it. He saw many words and no pictures. He said, "This book is boring. It has no pictures. Only big kids read books like this. You are not a big kid. You are a baby."
+
+Lily felt sad and angry. She said, "I am not a baby. I like this book. It has a good story. You are mean. You don't like books."
+
+Max laughed and said, "Books are for nerds. I like to play games and have fun. You are a nerd. I dare you to read this book to me. If you can read it, I will give you a candy. If you can't, you have to give me a candy."
+
+Lily thought for a moment. She wanted to prove Max wrong. She wanted to show him that she could read the book. She also wanted the candy. She said, "OK, I accept your dare. I will read the book to you."
+
+She took the book and sat on her bed. She opened the book and started to read. She read slowly and carefully. She did not know all the words, but she guessed some of them. She read the first page, then the second, then the third. She read the whole book.
+
+Max was surprised and bored. He did not understand the story. He did not care about the characters. He wanted to play something else. He said, "OK, OK, you win. You can read the book. Here is your candy. Can we play something else now?"
+
+Lily smiled and took the candy. She said, "Thank you. Yes, we can play something else. But first, let me tell you something. Books are not boring. Books are fun. Books can teach you many things. Books can make you imagine and dream. Books can make you a big kid. You should try to read more books. Maybe you will like them too."
+
+Max looked at her and thought. He said, "Maybe you are right. Maybe I should try to read more books. Can you show me some of your books? Maybe we can read them together."
+
+Lily nodded and said, "Sure. I have many books. Some have pictures, some have words, some have both. Come, I will show you my bookshelf. We can choose a book and read it together."
+
+They went to her bookshelf and looked at the books. They found a book that they both liked. They sat on her bed and read it together. They had fun and learned something new. They became good friends.
+
+The moral of the story is: Books are not boring. Books are fun and useful. Reading books can make you smarter and happier. Reading books can also help you make friends. You should not judge people by their books. You should try to read more books.
+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big dog. The dog is brown and has a long tail. The dog is dirty. He has mud on his fur and his paws.
+
+"Hello, dog!" Lily says. "Do you want to play with us?"
+
+The dog barks. He runs to Lily and Tom. He licks their faces. Lily and Tom giggle. They pet the dog.
+
+"Can we keep him?" Tom asks. "He is so nice and fun."
+
+Lily nods. "Yes, let's keep him. We can give him a name. How about Spot?"
+
+Tom likes the name. "Spot is a good name. Come on, Spot. Let's go to my house. We have some beef for you."
+
+The dog wags his tail. He likes beef. He follows Lily and Tom. They walk to Tom's house. They are happy. They have a new friend.
+Anna was hungry. She wanted to eat soup. She asked her mom, "Can I have soup, please?"
+
+Mom smiled and said, "Yes, you can. But first, we have to go to the store and buy some carrots and potatoes. Do you want to come with me?"
+
+Anna nodded. She liked to go to the store with mom. She put on her coat and shoes and followed mom to the car.
+
+At the store, mom gave Anna a basket. She said, "Can you help me find the carrots and potatoes? They are orange and brown. They look like this." She showed Anna a picture on her phone.
+
+Anna took the basket and looked around. She saw many fruits and vegetables. She saw apples, bananas, grapes, lettuce, tomatoes, and more. She tried to recognize the carrots and potatoes. She remembered the picture mom showed her. She saw some orange and brown things that looked like the picture. She picked them up and put them in the basket. She was proud. She said, "Look, mom, I found them!"
+
+Mom praised Anna. She said, "Good job, Anna! You are very smart and helpful. Let's go pay and then we can go home and make soup."
+
+Anna was happy. She liked to help mom. She liked to make soup. She hoped the soup would be yummy and warm.
+
+On the way home, mom stopped at a park. She said, "Do you want to play for a little while? It's a nice day and there are some friendly kids here. Maybe you can make some new friends."
+
+Anna agreed. She liked to play and make friends. She got out of the car and ran to the playground. She saw a slide, a swing, a seesaw, and a sandbox. She also saw some kids playing. She recognized one of them. It was Ben, her neighbor. She liked Ben. He was nice and funny. She waved at him and said, "Hi, Ben!"
+
+Ben saw Anna and smiled. He said, "Hi, Anna! Do you want to play with me? I have a truck and a shovel. We can make a castle in the sandbox."
+
+Anna nodded. She liked trucks and shovels. She liked castles. She said, "Yes, I do. That sounds fun."
+
+She joined Ben in the sandbox. They played together and made a big castle. They had a lot of fun. They shared their toys and stories. They laughed and smiled.
+
+Mom watched them from a bench. She was glad Anna had a friend. She thought, "Maybe I can invite Ben and his mom over for soup later. I think they would like that." She smiled and enjoyed the sun.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big truck. The truck has many vegetables. The truck driver says, "I am sending these vegetables to the market. They are fresh and healthy. Do you want some?"
+
+Lily and Ben are happy. They say, "Yes, please! We love vegetables. They are cool and yummy. Thank you, truck driver!" The truck driver gives them some carrots, tomatoes, and cucumbers. He says, "You are welcome, kids. Enjoy your vegetables. They are good for you."
+
+Lily and Ben run to the bench. They wash their vegetables with water. They share them with each other. They crunch and munch. They say, "Mmm, these vegetables are so cool and tasty. We feel strong and happy. We are glad we said yes to the truck driver."
+
+A dog comes to the park. He is hungry and sad. He sees Lily and Ben. He barks, "Woof, woof! Can I have some vegetables, too?" Lily and Ben look at the dog. They see his big eyes and wagging tail. They say, "Of course, dog. You can have some vegetables, too. They are good for you, too."
+
+They give the dog some carrots, tomatoes, and cucumbers. The dog eats them with joy. He says, "Woof, woof! Thank you, kids. You are very kind and generous. These vegetables are so cool and delicious. I feel full and happy. You are my new friends."
+
+Lily and Ben smile. They say, "You are welcome, dog. We are happy to share our vegetables with you. You are our new friend, too." They hug the dog. They play together in the park. They have fun. They learn that sharing is caring. They learn that vegetables are cool.
+Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They had many toys: cars, dolls, blocks, and books. They liked to make noises and stories with their toys. But they did not like to clean up after they played. They left their toys everywhere: on the floor, on the couch, on the table. The living room was very messy.
+
+Mom came home from work and saw the messy living room. She was not happy. She said to Lily and Ben: "What is this? Why did you not clean up your toys? You know the rule: you have to put away your toys when you are done playing. This is not good. You have to punish."
+
+Lily and Ben felt sorry. They did not want to punish. They said to Mom: "We are sorry, Mom. We forgot to clean up. We were having fun. Please do not punish us. We will clean up now."
+
+Mom said: "You have to learn to be responsible. You have to respect our home. You have to punish. Your punish is: you have to clean up the living room and your bedroom. And you have to do it fast. And you have to do it well. No more playing until you finish. Go now."
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They did not like their punish. But they knew they had to do it. They started to pick up their toys and put them in their boxes. They found a blue car under the couch. They found a blue doll on the table. They found a blue book on the floor. They liked blue. But they liked Mom more. They wanted to make Mom happy. They wanted to finish their punish. They wanted to play again. They worked hard and fast. They cleaned up the living room and their bedroom. They made them neat and tidy.
+
+Mom came back and saw the clean rooms. She was happy. She said to Lily and Ben: "Good job, Lily and Ben. You did your punish well. You cleaned up your mess. You made our home nice. I am proud of you. You can play again. But remember: next time, you have to clean up your toys when you are done playing. OK?"
+
+Lily and Ben said: "OK, Mom. We will remember. We are sorry. We love you. Can we hug you?"
+
+Mom said: "Of course. I love you too. Come here and hug me."
+
+Lily and Ben ran to Mom and hugged her. They felt happy. They learned their lesson. They did not want to punish again. They wanted to be good. They wanted to play with their toys. And they wanted to play with Mom. They smiled and laughed. The end.
+Lily liked to spread jam on her toast. She liked to spread it very thick and sticky. She liked to lick her fingers and make funny noises. But Lily did not like to clean up after herself. She left the jam jar open, the knife dirty, and the crumbs everywhere.
+
+One day, Lily's mom was very busy. She had to make a lot of calls and do a lot of work. She told Lily to be patient and play quietly in her room. She gave Lily a slice of toast and some jam and said, "Please don't make a mess, Lily. I'll be back soon."
+
+Lily nodded, but she did not listen. She took the toast and the jam to her room. She spread the jam on her toast, and then on her bed, and then on her doll, and then on her wall. She made a big red mess. She thought it was fun and funny. She did not think about her mom.
+
+When Lily's mom came back, she saw the mess. She was very angry and sad. She said, "Lily, what did you do? You made a lot of trouble. You wasted the jam and ruined your things. You did not listen to me. You were not patient. You were very naughty."
+
+Lily felt bad. She saw her mom's face and heard her voice. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I wanted to have fun. I did not mean to make trouble. I love you, mom. Can you forgive me?"
+
+Lily's mom sighed. She loved Lily, but she was very tired. She said, "I love you too, Lily. But you have to learn to be more careful and respectful. You have to help me clean up this mess. And you have to say sorry to your doll and your wall. And you have to promise me not to do this again."
+
+Lily nodded. She hugged her mom and said, "I promise, mom. I will be more patient and less messy. I will help you clean up. I will say sorry to my doll and my wall. I will be a good girl."
+
+Lily and her mom cleaned up the mess. It took a long time and a lot of soap. Lily said sorry to her doll and her wall. She gave them a kiss and a hug. She learned her lesson. She did not spread jam on anything but toast ever again.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play and act. They act like animals, like people, like heroes. They have fun.
+
+One day, they find a letter on the floor. It is big and red. It has unknown words on it. Anna and Ben are curious. They want to know what it says.
+
+They open the letter. Inside, there is a picture. It is a scary picture. It has a monster with big teeth and claws. It has a message. It says: "I am coming for you."
+
+Anna and Ben are scared. They scream and drop the letter. They run to their mom and dad. They tell them what they saw.
+
+But mom and dad do not believe them. They think they are lying. They think they are acting. They are angry. They say: "Stop acting. Stop making stories. Go to your room. No more play for you."
+
+Anna and Ben are sad. They cry and go to their room. They do not understand. They did not act. They did not make stories. They saw a real letter. They saw a real monster.
+
+But no one listens to them. No one helps them. The monster is coming for them. They are in danger. The end.
+Ben and Mia are friends. They like to play with toys. One day, they go to the park with their moms. They see a big box of toys. The box says "trade". Ben and Mia are happy.
+
+Ben picks a red car. He likes cars. Mia picks a yellow doll. She likes dolls. They show each other their toys. They smile.
+
+"Can I see your car?" Mia asks Ben.
+
+"OK. Can I see your doll?" Ben asks Mia.
+
+They give each other their toys. They look at them. They try to play with them. But they are not happy.
+
+"I don't like this doll. She is too little. I want my car back." Ben says.
+
+"I don't like this car. It is too fast. I want my doll back." Mia says.
+
+They give each other their toys back. They are happy again.
+
+"Let's play together. You can drive your car and I can hug my doll." Mia says.
+
+"OK. That sounds fun. We can share our toys." Ben says.
+
+They play together. They are good friends. They like to trade. But they also like their own toys.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big bush with red berries. They want to pick some berries and make a necklace.
+
+"Can I lend your string, Ben?" Anna asks.
+
+"Sure, Anna. You are my friend. You can lend my string," Ben says. He gives Anna his string.
+
+Anna and Ben pick some berries and put them on the string. They make a necklace. It is very pretty.
+
+"Look, Ben. We made a necklace. Do you want to wear it?" Anna asks.
+
+"No, Anna. You can wear it. You are very kind. You lend me your toys and share your snacks," Ben says.
+
+Anna smiles. She puts the necklace around her neck. She hugs Ben.
+
+"Thank you, Ben. You are very kind, too. You lend me your string and help me with puzzles," Anna says.
+
+Anna and Ben are happy. They are good friends. They like to play in the park. They like the big bush with red berries.
+Lily was a young girl who liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Anna, who had long yellow hair and a blue dress. Lily liked to pretend that Anna was a princess who lived in a big castle.
+
+One day, Lily and Anna were playing in her room, when she heard a loud noise from the hall. She wondered what it was, so she left Anna on the bed and went to see. She noticed that her big brother Tom was running down the hall with a ball. He was playing soccer with his friend Sam.
+
+"Hey, Tom, what are you doing?" Lily asked.
+
+"Go away, Lily, we're playing soccer. You're too young to play with us," Tom said.
+
+"But I want to play too. Can I have the ball?" Lily said.
+
+"No, you can't. You'll break it or lose it. Go back to your room and play with your dolls," Tom said.
+
+He kicked the ball hard and it flew past Lily's head. Lily was sad and angry. She didn't like Tom being mean to her. She wanted to play soccer too. She thought of a way to get the ball from Tom.
+
+She ran back to her room and grabbed Anna. She hid Anna under her shirt and went to the hall again. She pretended to cry and said, "Tom, Tom, I need your help. Anna is sick. She needs a doctor."
+
+Tom stopped playing and looked at Lily. He saw her crying and holding her shirt. He felt sorry for her. He liked Anna too. He said, "What's wrong with Anna? Let me see her."
+
+Lily smiled and said, "OK, but you have to give me the ball first."
+
+Tom thought that was a strange thing to say, but he agreed. He gave Lily the ball and said, "Here, take the ball. Now show me Anna."
+
+Lily took the ball and ran away. She said, "Ha ha, I tricked you. Anna is fine. She's under my shirt. Now I have the ball and you don't."
+
+Tom was shocked and angry. He realized that Lily had lied to him. He said, "Hey, that's not fair. Give me back the ball. You're a bad sister."
+
+He chased Lily down the hall, but Lily was faster. She ran to her room and locked the door. She put Anna on the bed and said, "We did it, Anna. We got the ball. Now we can play soccer too."
+
+Anna smiled and said, "You're a smart girl, Lily. But be careful. Tom might be mad at you."
+
+Lily didn't care. She was happy. She had the ball and she had Anna. She said, "Don't worry, Anna. Tom will forget soon. He always does. Come on, let's play soccer."
+
+She kicked the ball and it bounced on the wall. She laughed and said, "Goal!"
+Tom and Sam were brothers who liked to eat sausages. One day, their mom made some sausages for lunch and put them on a plate. She said, "You can have two sausages each, but you have to share and be nice."
+
+Tom and Sam ran to the plate and grabbed the sausages. But Tom wanted the biggest sausage, and so did Sam. They both pulled on the same sausage and started to fight.
+
+"Give me the big sausage, it's mine!" Tom shouted.
+
+"No, it's mine, I saw it first!" Sam yelled.
+
+They fought and fought, and did not see their dog, Spot, who was watching them. Spot was hungry and liked sausages too. He saw his chance and jumped on the plate. He took the big sausage and the other sausages and ran away.
+
+Tom and Sam stopped fighting and looked at the plate. It was empty. They had no sausages left. They felt sad and sorry.
+
+"Mom, Spot took our sausages!" they cried.
+
+Mom came and saw what happened. She was not happy. She said, "You see, boys, this is what happens when you fight and do not share. You lose what you have and make others happy. You should have been kind and fair, and then you would have had a nice lunch."
+
+Tom and Sam learned their lesson. They said sorry to each other and hugged. They promised to share and be nice from then on. Mom gave them some bread and cheese instead of sausages. They ate and thanked Mom. They hoped Spot would enjoy the sausages, but not too much.
+Tom is a big horse. He lives on a farm with many other animals. He likes to run and play in the field with his friends. He also likes to eat hay. Hay is dry grass that the farmer gives to the animals.
+
+One day, Tom sees a big pile of hay in the barn. He thinks it looks very yummy. He wants to eat some of it. He walks to the barn and tries to take some hay with his mouth. But he cannot reach it. The pile is too high for him.
+
+He sees a small stool near the pile. He thinks he can use it to get the hay. He pushes the stool with his nose. He moves it under the pile. He climbs on the stool and tries to take some hay again. But he still cannot reach it. The pile is still too high for him.
+
+He sees a big ladder near the wall. He thinks he can use it to get the hay. He pulls the ladder with his teeth. He drags it to the pile. He leans it against the pile. He climbs on the ladder and tries to take some hay one more time. But he cannot do it. The ladder is too shaky for him. He falls off the ladder and lands on the stool. The stool breaks and he falls on the floor.
+
+He hears a loud noise. He looks up and sees the farmer. The farmer is angry. He says, "Tom, what are you doing? You made a big mess. You cannot take the hay. The hay is for the cows. You have your own hay in your stable. Go back to your stable now and leave the hay alone."
+
+Tom feels sorry. He did not mean to make the farmer angry. He did not know the hay was for the cows. He just wanted to try some of it. He walks back to his stable. He sees his own hay in his trough. He thinks it looks very yummy. He eats some of it. He thinks it tastes very good. He decides he does not need the hay in the barn. He has his own hay in his stable. He is happy. He goes to sleep.
+Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They had a bow and some arrows that their dad made for them. They liked to pretend they were hunters and shoot at the trees and the birds.
+
+"Look, Lily, I see a big bird on that branch!" Ben said, pointing with his arrow. "Let me try to hit it!"
+
+He pulled the bow and aimed at the bird. But just as he was about to let go, he felt a shake on his arm. He turned and saw a big dog barking at him. The dog wanted to play with the bow and the arrows.
+
+"Hey, stop it!" Ben shouted at the dog. "You scared me! Go away!"
+
+But the dog did not listen. He jumped on Ben and tried to grab the bow. Ben dropped the bow and the arrow and fell to the ground. The dog ran away with the arrow in his mouth.
+
+Lily ran to Ben and helped him get up. She saw that he had a scratch on his arm and a tear on his shirt. She felt sorry for him.
+
+"Are you okay, Ben?" she asked. "That was a bad dog. He should not have done that."
+
+Ben nodded. He was not hurt, but he was troubled. He liked his bow and his arrows. He did not want to lose them.
+
+"Come on, let's go find the dog and get our arrow back," he said. "Maybe he will give it to us if we ask nicely."
+
+Lily agreed. She took Ben's hand and they walked around the park, looking for the dog and the arrow. They hoped they would find them soon. They still wanted to play.
+Sara and Ben like to play in the park. They like to swing, run, and slide. One day, they find a shiny penny on the ground. Sara picks it up and shows it to Ben.
+
+"Look, Ben, I found a penny! It is so pretty and round!" Sara says.
+
+"Wow, Sara, that is a nice penny! Can I see it?" Ben asks.
+
+Sara nods and gives the penny to Ben. He holds it in his hand and looks at it closely. He sees a face and some words on the penny.
+
+"Who is this?" Ben asks, pointing at the face.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe it is someone important," Sara says.
+
+"Maybe it is a king or a queen," Ben says.
+
+They hear a voice behind them. It is Lily, a nosy girl who lives in their street. She always wants to know what they are doing and what they have.
+
+"Hey, what are you two looking at?" Lily asks, coming closer.
+
+Sara and Ben turn around and see Lily. They do not like her very much. She is always rude and bossy.
+
+"Nothing, Lily. Go away," Sara says.
+
+"No, I want to see. Is that a penny? Let me have it!" Lily says, reaching for the penny.
+
+Ben pulls his hand away and holds the penny tight. He does not want to give it to Lily.
+
+"No, Lily, this is our penny. We found it. It is ours," Ben says.
+
+Lily gets angry and tries to grab the penny from Ben. She pushes him and he falls down. The penny flies out of his hand and rolls away.
+
+"Hey, stop it, Lily! You are mean!" Sara says, helping Ben get up.
+
+Lily does not listen. She runs after the penny. She wants to have it for herself. She does not see a big slide in front of her. She bumps into the slide and falls down. She hurts her knee and starts to cry.
+
+Sara and Ben see what happens. They feel sorry for Lily, even though she is nosy and mean. They go to her and ask if she is okay.
+
+"Lily, are you okay? Do you need help?" Sara asks.
+
+Lily stops crying and looks at Sara and Ben. She sees that they are nice and kind. She feels bad for being nosy and mean.
+
+"I'm sorry, Sara and Ben. I was wrong. I should not have tried to take your penny. It is yours. You can have it," Lily says.
+
+Sara and Ben smile and thank Lily. They find the penny and give it to Lily.
+
+"Here, Lily, you can have the penny. It is a gift from us. Maybe it will make you happy," Sara says.
+
+Lily takes the penny and looks at it. She feels happy and grateful. She hugs Sara and Ben and says sorry again.
+
+"Thank you, Sara and Ben. You are very nice and generous. I'm sorry for being nosy and mean. Can we be friends?" Lily asks.
+
+Sara and Ben nod and hug Lily back. They say yes, they can be friends. They decide to play together in the park. They swing, run, and slide. They have fun and share the penny. They are happy.
+Lila and Ben were playing catch with a ball in the park. They liked to throw the ball high and far and catch it with their hands. Sometimes they missed and had to run after the ball.
+
+"Raise your arm more, Ben!" Lila said. "Then you can throw the ball higher!"
+
+Ben tried to raise his arm more, but he was not very good at it. He threw the ball low and slow. Lila ran to catch it, but a big dog ran faster and grabbed the ball in his mouth.
+
+"Hey, that's our ball!" Lila shouted. "Give it back, dog!"
+
+The dog did not listen. He ran away with the ball, wagging his tail. He thought it was a fun game. Lila and Ben chased after him, but he was too fast for them.
+
+"Stop, dog, stop!" Ben yelled. "That's not your ball!"
+
+The dog ran to a fence and jumped over it. He landed in a yard where there was another dog. The other dog was fierce and did not like strangers. He barked loudly and ran towards the first dog.
+
+"Who are you? What are you doing here?" the fierce dog said. "This is my yard! Drop that ball!"
+
+The first dog was scared. He dropped the ball and ran back to the fence. He jumped over it and ran away. Lila and Ben saw the ball in the yard. They were happy.
+
+"Look, there's our ball!" Lila said. "Let's get it!"
+
+They ran to the fence and looked over it. The fierce dog was still there, guarding the ball. He barked at them and showed his teeth.
+
+"Go away, kids!" the fierce dog said. "This is my ball now!"
+
+Lila and Ben were sad. They wanted their ball back, but they did not want to fight with the fierce dog. They did not know what to do. They looked at each other and had an idea.
+
+"Hey, dog, we have something for you!" Lila said. "Do you want to trade?"
+
+She took out a bone from her pocket. She had brought it for her own dog at home, but she was willing to give it to the fierce dog. She waved it in the air and made a pitch sound.
+
+"Look, a bone! A yummy bone!" she said. "Do you want it, dog?"
+
+The fierce dog saw the bone and smelled it. He liked bones. He wanted the bone. He stopped barking and wagged his tail.
+
+"A bone? A yummy bone?" he said. "Yes, I want it, kid!"
+
+"OK, then give us our ball and we'll give you the bone!" Ben said. "Deal?"
+
+The fierce dog thought for a moment. He liked the ball, but he liked the bone more. He nodded his head and dropped the ball. He ran to the fence and waited for the bone.
+
+"Deal!" he said.
+
+Lila and Ben threw the bone over the fence and grabbed the ball. They thanked the fierce dog and ran away. They were happy. They had their ball back and they had made a new friend.
+
+The end.
+Lily and Ben are playing in the kitchen. They want to cook something for Mom and Dad. They see a big blue pot on the stove. They open the pot and find some water inside.
+
+"Let's cook soup!" Lily says. "We need some vegetables and salt."
+
+"OK!" Ben says. He looks around and sees some red tomatoes on the counter. He takes one and tries to cut it with a knife. But the knife is too sharp and he hurts his finger.
+
+"Ow!" Ben cries. "Lily, help me!"
+
+Lily runs to Ben and sees the blood on his finger. She is scared and hugs him.
+
+"Ben, are you OK?" she asks. "We need a band-aid!"
+
+She looks for a band-aid in the drawer, but she can't find one. She sees a red napkin on the table. She takes it and wraps it around Ben's finger.
+
+"There, there," she says. "It will be OK. Don't cry."
+
+Ben stops crying and smiles at Lily. He hugs her back.
+
+"Thank you, Lily," he says. "You are a good sister."
+
+They hear Mom and Dad coming home. They run to the door and greet them.
+
+"Mom, Dad, we cooked soup for you!" Lily says.
+
+"Really?" Mom says. "That's very sweet of you. But what happened to your finger, Ben?"
+
+Ben shows Mom his finger with the red napkin.
+
+"I cut it with a knife," he says. "But Lily helped me. She gave me a band-aid."
+
+Mom and Dad look at each other and smile. They hug Lily and Ben and kiss them.
+
+"You are very brave, Ben," Dad says. "And you are very caring, Lily. We are proud of you. But next time, please don't play with knives. They are dangerous. And don't cook without us. We will help you."
+
+"OK," Lily and Ben say. "We love you, Mom and Dad."
+
+"We love you too, Lily and Ben," Mom and Dad say. "Now let's go and see your soup."
+Lila and Ben like to play knights and dragons in the garden. They gather sticks and leaves to make swords and shields. They pretend to fight the bad dragon that lives in the shed.
+
+One day, they hear a loud roar from the shed. They think it is the dragon. They are scared, but they want to be brave. They take their swords and shields and go to the shed.
+
+But when they open the door, they see a big dog. The dog is not a dragon. The dog is angry and barks at them. Lila and Ben drop their swords and shields and run away. They feel helpless and cry.
+
+Mom hears them and comes to the garden. She sees the dog and chases it away. She hugs Lila and Ben and tells them it is okay. She says the dog was lost and hungry, but not bad. She says they can keep their swords and shields, but they should not go to the shed again.
+
+Lila and Ben nod and smile. They are happy that Mom is there. They say they are sorry for the dog, but they are glad it is gone. They hug Mom and thank her. They say they love her and she is the best.
+Ben and Lily were playing in the big room. They liked to run and jump and sing. There was a piano in the big room. It was black and shiny and had many keys.
+
+"Can you play the piano?" Lily asked Ben.
+
+"No, I can't. But I can make noise," Ben said. He ran to the piano and hit the keys with his hands. The piano made loud and funny sounds.
+
+Lily laughed and ran after him. She wanted to hit the keys too. But she was too fast and did not see the rug. She stumbled on the rug and fell down. She hurt her knee and started to cry.
+
+Ben heard her cry and stopped hitting the keys. He ran to Lily and saw her knee. It was red and had a little blood.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily. Are you okay?" Ben asked.
+
+He felt bad for making her fall. He was honest and did not lie.
+
+"It's okay, Ben. It was an accident. But my knee hurts," Lily said.
+
+She sniffed and wiped her tears. She was brave and did not cry too much.
+
+Ben hugged her and said, "I have an idea. Let's go to the kitchen and ask Mom for a band-aid. Then we can play something else. Maybe we can draw or read a book."
+
+Lily nodded and smiled. She liked Ben's idea. She liked Ben. He was her friend.
+
+They held hands and walked to the kitchen. They asked Mom for a band-aid and said sorry for making noise. Mom smiled and gave them a band-aid and a kiss. She was proud of them for being honest and kind. She said they could play something else in the big room.
+
+Ben and Lily went back to the big room. They did not play the piano anymore. They played something else. They had fun. They were happy.
+Sara and Tom liked to pretend they were grown-ups. They put on their parents' suits and shoes and hats and went to the living room. They pretended they had a big office and a lot of work to do.
+
+"Hello, Mr. Tom," Sara said. "I have a very important paper for you. Please sign here and here."
+
+"Thank you, Ms. Sara," Tom said. "You are a very good helper. Here is your paper back. Now I have to make a phone call."
+
+Tom picked up the remote control and pretended it was a phone. He talked to it in a loud voice. He did not see that Sara had left her paper on the floor.
+
+Sara went to the kitchen to get some juice. She pretended she was on a break. She did not see that Tom had followed her.
+
+Tom was thirsty too. He saw the juice on the table and reached for it. He did not see that he was stepping on Sara's paper. He was careless.
+
+The paper ripped under his foot. Sara heard the noise and came back. She saw her paper torn in half. She was very angry.
+
+"Tom, you ruined my paper!" she shouted. "That was my very important paper! How could you be so careless?"
+
+Tom looked at the paper and felt sorry. He did not mean to rip it. He tried to apologize.
+
+"I'm sorry, Sara," he said. "I did not see your paper. I was just getting some juice. Can we fix it?"
+
+But Sara did not want to hear him. She snatched the paper from his hand and ran to her room. She slammed the door behind her.
+
+Tom was sad. He did not like to fight with Sara. He wished they could pretend they were grown-ups again. He wondered how grown-ups made up after a fight. He decided to find out. He put down the juice and the remote control and went to Sara's door. He knocked softly.
+
+"Sara, can I come in?" he asked. "I have something for you."
+Ben and Lily went to the zoo with their mom. They saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and elephants. They liked the animals and wanted to be friends with them.
+
+They came to a big cage with a bear. The bear looked sad and lonely. Ben and Lily felt sorry for the bear. They wanted to help him.
+
+"Mom, can we rescue the bear?" Ben asked.
+
+"No, Ben, we can't. The bear belongs to the zoo. He is safe and cared for here," Mom said.
+
+"But he is not happy. He needs a friend," Lily said.
+
+"Maybe he has a friend in another cage. Or maybe he likes to be alone. We don't know what the bear wants," Mom said.
+
+Ben and Lily were not convinced. They thought the bear wanted to be free and have fun. They waited until Mom was looking at the map. Then they sneaked to the cage and opened the door.
+
+"Come on, bear, we will rescue you," Ben whispered.
+
+The bear was surprised. He saw the open door and the two children. He was curious and followed them. He did not know where they were going.
+
+Mom heard a loud roar. She turned around and saw the bear walking out of the cage. She was shocked and scared. She ran after the bear and the children.
+
+"Ben! Lily! Stop! Come back!" Mom shouted.
+
+But Ben and Lily did not hear her. They were happy. They thought they were doing a good thing. They led the bear to the exit of the zoo.
+
+The zookeepers saw the bear and the children. They were alarmed and angry. They grabbed the bear and the children. They put the bear back in the cage and locked the door. They scolded Ben and Lily.
+
+"You two are very naughty. You could have been hurt. You could have hurt the bear. You could have caused a lot of trouble. You are not allowed to touch the animals. You have to respect them and their home," the zookeeper said.
+
+Ben and Lily were sad and scared. They realized they had made a mistake. They did not rescue the bear. They upset him and everyone else. They said sorry to the zookeeper, the bear, and Mom.
+
+Mom hugged them and said, "I'm glad you are safe. I know you meant well, but you have to be careful and listen to me. The bear is not a toy. He is a wild animal. He has a different life than us. We can admire him and learn from him, but we can't take him away from his home."
+
+Ben and Lily nodded. They understood. They looked at the bear. The bear looked at them. He was not angry. He was grateful. He was glad to be back in his cage. He was glad to be safe and cared for. He was glad to have met Ben and Lily. He hoped they would come back and visit him. He hoped they would be friends. He roared softly and waved his paw. Ben and Lily waved back and smiled. They had learned a lesson. They had made a friend.
+Ben and Mia are playing with blocks in their room. They like to build towers and houses and cars with the blocks. They have many blocks of different colors and shapes.
+
+"Look, I made a big tower!" Ben says, showing Mia his blocks. "It is very tall and strong."
+
+"That is nice, Ben," Mia says. "But I like my house better. It has a door and a window and a roof."
+
+Ben and Mia start to argue about whose blocks are better. They do not want to share or play together. They get angry and push each other's blocks.
+
+"Stop it, Ben!" Mia says. "You broke my house!"
+
+"Stop it, Mia!" Ben says. "You made my tower fall!"
+
+They hear their mom coming up the stairs. They know they are in trouble. They quickly pick up their blocks and run to the closet. They hide in the closet and hope their mom will not find them.
+
+Their mom opens the door and sees the mess. She sees the blocks scattered all over the floor. She sees the broken tower and the broken house. She is not happy.
+
+"Ben, Mia, where are you?" she calls. "Come out right now and clean up this mess!"
+
+Ben and Mia are scared. They do not want to come out of the closet. They whisper to each other.
+
+"What do we do, Ben?" Mia asks.
+
+"I don't know, Mia," Ben says. "Maybe we can add some blocks to the closet and make a new house. Then we can live in the closet and not come out."
+
+Mia thinks for a moment. She sees an orange block in the closet. She likes the color orange. She has an idea.
+
+"Ben, I have an idea," she says. "Maybe we can add this orange block to the door of the closet. Then our mom will see the orange block and think it is a flower. She will like the flower and not be mad at us."
+
+Ben thinks that is a good idea. He likes flowers too. He helps Mia add the orange block to the door of the closet. They hope their mom will see the orange block and think it is a flower.
+
+Their mom sees the orange block on the door of the closet. She smiles. She thinks it is a flower. She thinks Ben and Mia are trying to say sorry. She opens the door of the closet and sees Ben and Mia hiding inside.
+
+"Hello, Ben and Mia," she says. "I see you made me a flower. That is very sweet of you. But you still have to clean up your blocks. And you have to say sorry to each other and share your blocks. Can you do that?"
+
+Ben and Mia nod. They say sorry to each other and hug. They come out of the closet and clean up their blocks. They decide to play together and make a new tower and a new house with their blocks. They add the orange block to the top of the tower and the house. They think it looks pretty. They are happy. Their mom is happy too.
+Tom and Sam are cats. They live in a big house with a nice lady. The nice lady gives them food and water and pets them. Tom and Sam like the nice lady.
+
+One day, the nice lady goes out. She says, "Be good, Tom and Sam. I will be back soon." She leaves a big bowl of tuna on the table for them. Tom and Sam love tuna. They jump on the table and start to eat.
+
+But then, they hear a noise. It is a dog. A big, dirty dog. The dog comes in the house. He sees the tuna. He wants the tuna. He barks and runs to the table.
+
+Tom and Sam are scared. They hiss and spit at the dog. The dog does not care. He grabs the tuna with his mouth and runs away. He drops some tuna on the floor. Tom and Sam chase him. They want their tuna back.
+
+"Stop, dog! That is our tuna!" Tom says.
+
+"Go away, cats! This is my tuna!" the dog says.
+
+They fight and make a mess. The nice lady comes back. She sees the mess. She sees the dog. She sees Tom and Sam. She is angry.
+
+"Bad dog! Bad cats! What have you done?" she says.
+
+She takes the dog out. She cleans the mess. She gives Tom and Sam some more tuna. She says, "I love you, Tom and Sam. But please, do not fight with the dog. He is a guest. He is hungry. You can share the tuna."
+
+Tom and Sam feel sorry. They say, "We are sorry, nice lady. We will not fight with the dog. We will share the tuna."
+
+The nice lady smiles. She pets them. She says, "Good cats. Thank you for sharing. Now, let's eat the tuna together."
+Tom liked to whistle. He learned how to whistle from his dad, who whistled all the time. Tom whistled when he was happy, when he was bored, and when he wanted to call his dog, Spot.
+
+One day, Tom and his dad went to the park. They saw a big wood house. It was not like their house. Their house was modern, with glass and metal. The wood house looked old and funny.
+
+"Can we go inside, dad?" Tom asked.
+
+"Sure, son. Let's see what's in there." Dad said.
+
+They walked to the door and knocked. No one answered. They opened the door and went in. The house was dark and dusty. There were many things that Tom did not know. There were books, candles, paintings, and a big fireplace.
+
+Tom saw a flute on a table. It was made of wood. He picked it up and blew on it. It made a sound like a whistle.
+
+"Look, dad! I can whistle with this!" Tom said.
+
+"That's a flute, son. It's a musical instrument. You can play different notes with it." Dad said.
+
+"Can I keep it, dad?" Tom asked.
+
+"I don't think so, son. This is not our house. This belongs to someone else. We should put it back and leave." Dad said.
+
+"Okay, dad. But can I whistle with it one more time?" Tom asked.
+
+"Alright, son. But only one more time." Dad said.
+
+Tom whistled with the flute. He liked the sound. He wished he could have it. He put it back on the table and followed his dad out of the house.
+
+They walked back to their car. Tom whistled all the way. He was happy. He had a fun adventure with his dad. He hoped to see the wood house again.
+Tom and Lily were playing with clay. They liked to make shapes and animals with the clay. They used their hands and some tools to cut and roll the clay.
+
+"Look, I made a snake!" Tom said, showing Lily his long and thin clay snake. "It has scales and a tongue."
+
+"Wow, that's cool!" Lily said. "I made a star. It has five points and is yellow." She held up her clay star.
+
+They put their clay creations on a tray and left them in the sun. They wanted them to dry and become hard. They went to play with other toys.
+
+After a while, they came back to check on their clay. They touched them gently and felt how they changed.
+
+"Hey, my snake is dry!" Tom said. "It feels rough and bumpy. It has a different texture now."
+
+"Mine too!" Lily said. "My star is dry and smooth. It feels nice and shiny."
+
+They were happy with their clay. They decided to make more shapes and animals. They used different colors and sizes of clay. They made small and big ones. They had fun with the clay.
+Tom is a loyal dog. He loves his family and his home. He likes to play with his ball and his bone. He also likes to sleep on his soft bed.
+
+One day, Tom hears a loud noise outside. He jumps up and runs to the window. He sees a big bear in the garden. The bear is looking for honey. He smells the honey in the hive on the tree. He tries to reach the hive with his paws.
+
+Tom barks at the bear. He wants to protect his home and his family. He does not like the bear to disturb the bees and the honey. He runs out of the door and chases the bear. He bites the bear's tail.
+
+The bear roars and turns around. He is angry and scared. He sees Tom and his family. He sees the man with a stick. He decides to run away. He does not want to fight.
+
+Tom and his family are happy and safe. They praise Tom and hug him. They give him a treat and some honey. Tom wags his tail and licks their faces. He is a loyal and brave dog. He is a good friend.
+Sam and Lily were best friends. They liked to play with dolls and cars and books. They went to the same school and sat next to each other. They always helped each other and shared their toys.
+
+One day, their teacher said they had to do a test. She gave them some papers with questions and pictures. They had to write or draw the answers. Sam and Lily felt worry. They did not like tests. They thought they were hard and scary.
+
+The boy behind them was rude. He laughed at them and said they were silly and slow. He said he knew all the answers and they knew none. He made them feel bad and sad. He tried to look at their papers and copy their answers.
+
+Sam and Lily did not like the rude boy. They told him to stop and go away. They said they did not want to play with him. They said they were smart and brave and kind. They said they could do the test by themselves.
+
+They worked hard and did their best. They finished the test and gave it to the teacher. The teacher smiled and said they did well. She said they were good and clever and nice. She said she was proud of them.
+
+Sam and Lily were happy. They hugged each other and said they were still best friends. They did not care about the rude boy. They knew he was wrong and mean and lonely. They went to play with their dolls and cars and books. They had fun and forgot about the test.
+Sam liked to fix things. He had a box of tools and some old toys that he took apart and put back together. He wanted to be a powerful fixer like his dad, who fixed cars and bikes and machines.
+
+One day, Sam found a round thing in the garage. It was shiny and had numbers and hands on it. Sam thought it was a clock, but it did not make any sound or move. He decided to fix it. He took his tools and opened the round thing. He saw many small parts inside. He tried to move them and make them work.
+
+"Sam, what are you doing?" his dad asked. He came into the garage and saw Sam with the round thing and the tools.
+
+"I'm fixing the clock, dad," Sam said. "It's broken. It does not tick or tock."
+
+"That's not a clock, Sam," his dad said. "That's a compass. It shows you which way is north and south and east and west. It's not supposed to tick or tock. It's supposed to point."
+
+Sam looked at the round thing. He saw a red hand that pointed to a letter. He did not know what the letter meant.
+
+"How does it point, dad?" he asked.
+
+"It uses a magnet, Sam," his dad said. "A magnet is a thing that can pull or push other things. The red hand is a magnet, and it pulls to another magnet that is inside the earth. The earth is a big round thing that we live on, and it has a magnet inside too. That's how the compass knows which way is north and south and east and west."
+
+Sam thought that was amazing. He did not know that the earth was a round thing with a magnet inside. He did not know that magnets could pull or push other things. He wanted to learn more about magnets and compasses and the earth.
+
+"Can you teach me more, dad?" he asked.
+
+"Sure, Sam," his dad said. "But first, let's put the compass back together. You don't need to fix it. It's not broken. It's powerful. It can show you the way."
+Lila and Sam liked to pretend they were penguins. They wore black and white clothes and waddled around the house. They made funny noises and slid on their bellies on the floor.
+
+One day, they found some ice cubes in the freezer. They decided to use them as fish and pretend they were hunting for food. They took the ice cubes to the living room and hid them under the sofa and the pillows.
+
+"Look, Sam, I found a fish!" Lila said, holding an ice cube in her hand.
+
+"Good job, Lila! Let me see if I can find one too!" Sam said, looking under the sofa.
+
+They had fun pretending to eat the ice cubes and share them with each other. They did not notice that the ice cubes were melting and making the floor and the sofa wet.
+
+Their mom came into the living room and saw the mess. She was not happy. She asked them what they were doing.
+
+"We are penguins, mom! We are eating fish!" Lila and Sam said.
+
+"Those are not fish, those are ice cubes! And they are making everything wet! You should not take things from the freezer without asking me!" their mom said.
+
+Lila and Sam felt sorry. They did not mean to make their mom angry. They said they were sorry and helped their mom clean up the water.
+
+Their mom hugged them and said she loved them. She said they could pretend to be penguins, but they had to be obedient and ask before they took things from the freezer. She also said they could use some crackers or raisins as fish instead of ice cubes.
+
+Lila and Sam agreed. They said they would be obedient and ask next time. They thanked their mom for the crackers and raisins and went back to their penguin game. They were happy and had fun.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make yummy food. They used pots and pans, spoons and forks, and anything they could find.
+
+Lily found a green teaspoon in the drawer. She thought it was pretty and shiny. She wanted to use it for her soup. She put it in a bowl and added water, salt, and pepper.
+
+Ben saw the green teaspoon and wanted it too. He said, "That's mine! Give it to me!" He grabbed the bowl and tried to take the teaspoon.
+
+Lily did not want to share. She said, "No, it's mine! Let go!" She pulled the bowl and tried to keep the teaspoon.
+
+They both pulled and pulled, but the bowl was too heavy. It slipped from their hands and fell on the floor. It broke into many pieces. The water, salt, and pepper spilled everywhere. The green teaspoon flew across the room and hit the wall. It bent and cracked.
+
+Lily and Ben stopped and looked at the mess. They had destroyed the bowl and the teaspoon. They felt sad and sorry. They said, "Uh-oh. We did a bad thing."
+
+Mom heard the noise and came to the kitchen. She saw the broken bowl and the bent teaspoon. She was not happy. She said, "What did you do? You were very naughty. You have to clean up and say sorry."
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They said, "We're sorry, Mom. We were fighting over the green teaspoon. We didn't mean to destroy it."
+
+Mom sighed. She said, "The green teaspoon was a gift from Grandma. It was very special. You should have been careful and shared. Now it's ruined."
+
+Lily and Ben felt very bad. They said, "We're sorry, Mom. We're sorry, Grandma. We love you."
+
+Mom hugged them. She said, "I love you too. But you have to learn to play nicely and respect other people's things. Now, help me clean up and then go to your room. No more playing in the kitchen today."
+
+Lily and Ben helped Mom clean up. They threw away the broken bowl and the bent teaspoon. They said goodbye to the green teaspoon. They went to their room and thought about what they had done. They decided to be better and share next time.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys and books. They also like to eat pizza. Pizza is yummy and cheesy.
+
+One day, Lily and Ben go to the park with their moms. They see a big white truck. The truck has a picture of pizza on it. The truck is a pizza truck.
+
+"Look, Ben, pizza!" Lily says.
+
+"Wow, pizza!" Ben says.
+
+They run to the truck with their moms. The pizza man smiles at them.
+
+"Hello, kids. Do you want some pizza?" he asks.
+
+"Yes, please!" Lily and Ben say.
+
+The pizza man gives them each a slice of pizza. They are hot and tasty. Lily and Ben are happy.
+
+They sit on a bench and eat their pizza. They share with their moms. They thank the pizza man.
+
+Lily and Ben gain a new friend. The pizza man is nice. He likes to make pizza for kids.
+
+They finish their pizza and play some more. They have a fun day at the park. They love pizza and the pizza man.
+Lily liked to paint. She had many colors and brushes. She painted on paper, on walls, on rocks. She painted flowers, stars, rainbows. She painted what she saw and what she dreamed.
+
+One day, she wanted to paint a monster. She thought monsters were scary and fun. She took a big paper and a black brush. She painted a big circle for the head, two triangles for the ears, four lines for the legs, and a long tail. She painted eyes, a nose, a mouth, and teeth. She painted spots and stripes and dots. She painted her monster.
+
+She showed her monster to her mom. "Look, mom, I painted a monster!" she said proudly.
+
+Her mom looked at her monster. She smiled and hugged her. "Wow, Lily, you painted a very attractive monster!" she said. "I like how you used many colors and shapes. Your monster looks happy and friendly."
+
+Lily was happy. She liked her monster too. She gave her monster a name. She called him Bob. She hung her monster on the wall. She said, "Hello, Bob, you are my new friend. Do you want to paint with me?"
+Anna was a pupil at a big school. She liked to learn new things and play with her friends. But some pupils were not nice to her. They said she was poor and wore old clothes. They laughed at her and made her sad.
+
+One day, Anna found a seed in the garden. She took it home and planted it in a pot. She watered it every day and watched it grow. It grew taller and taller, until it had a beautiful flower. Anna was happy and proud of her flower.
+
+The next day, she brought her flower to school. She wanted to show it to her teacher and her friends. But the mean pupils saw her flower and wanted to take it. They said it was too pretty for her and that she stole it from a wealthy person. They tried to grab it from her, but Anna held it tight.
+
+"Leave me alone!" Anna shouted. "This is my flower. I grew it with my own hands. You are mean and greedy. You don't know how to grow anything. You only know how to hurt people."
+
+The teacher heard Anna's shout and came to see what was wrong. She saw the mean pupils trying to take Anna's flower and scolded them. She praised Anna for her flower and her courage. She said Anna was a good pupil and a good gardener. She said Anna's flower was a gift from nature and a sign of her kindness.
+
+The mean pupils felt ashamed and sorry. They apologized to Anna and asked her to forgive them. They said they wanted to be her friends and learn from her. Anna was surprised and happy. She forgave them and shared her flower with them. They all smiled and hugged. They learned to be kind and to grow together.
+Tom and Lily liked to play in the park. They liked to slide, swing, and run. But their favorite thing was to dig in the sand. They had a big shovel and a small bucket. They wanted to see what was under the sand.
+
+One day, they dug a very deep hole. They found some rocks, some worms, and some shiny things. They put them in their bucket. They were happy. They wanted to dig more.
+
+But then, they heard a loud noise. It was a big truck. It came to the park. It had a big hose. It sprayed water on the grass and the flowers. It also sprayed water on the sand. The water filled the hole. The water took the rocks, the worms, and the shiny things. They were gone.
+
+Tom and Lily were upset. They ran to the truck. They shouted at the man.
+
+"Stop! Stop! You took our things! They were ours! We dug them from the underground! Give them back!"
+
+The man looked at them. He was sorry. He did not see their hole. He did not know they had things. He said,
+
+"I'm sorry, kids. I didn't mean to take your things. I was just doing my job. I have to water the park. It makes the grass and the flowers grow. They need water to rise. Do you understand?"
+
+Tom and Lily nodded. They understood. They liked the grass and the flowers. They wanted them to rise. But they still missed their things. They said,
+
+"We understand. But we liked our things. They were pretty and fun. Can you help us find them?"
+
+The man smiled. He was kind. He said,
+
+"Sure, I can help you. Let's look for them together. Maybe they are still in the sand. Maybe they are not too far. Come on, let's go."
+
+Tom and Lily smiled. They were happy. They followed the man. They took their shovel and their bucket. They hoped to find their things. They still liked to dig in the sand.
+Ben and Mia love to race. They race with their bikes, their feet, and their cars. They race to the park, to the store, and to the school. They always have fun and laugh a lot.
+
+One day, they race to the beach. They see the water, the sand, and the shells. They also see a man with a big net. He is catching shrimp. Shrimp are small and pink and live in the water. Ben and Mia are curious.
+
+"Hello, man," Ben says. "What are you doing?"
+
+"Hello, kids," the man says. "I am catching shrimp. Shrimp are good to eat. I sell them to the people. They pay me money. Shrimp are expensive."
+
+"Expensive?" Mia asks. "What does that mean?"
+
+"Expensive means that something costs a lot of money. More money than a candy or a toy. Shrimp are expensive because they are hard to find and catch. People like them a lot."
+
+Ben and Mia nod. They understand. They like shrimp too. They have eaten them before. They are yummy.
+
+"Can we help you catch shrimp?" Ben asks.
+
+"Sure, why not?" the man says. "But you have to be fast and careful. Shrimp are quick and slippery. They can escape from the net. Do you want to race with the shrimp?"
+
+"Yes, yes, yes!" Ben and Mia say. They love to race. They take a small net from the man and run to the water. They look for shrimp. They see some. They try to catch them. They race with the shrimp. They have fun and laugh a lot.
+Anna and Ben were very happy. They were going to a hotel with their mom and dad. They had never been to a hotel before. It was a big and new place for them.
+
+When they got to the hotel, they saw a lot of people. Some people were wearing nice clothes and some people were carrying bags. They also heard music. It was loud and fun. Anna and Ben wanted to see where the music was coming from.
+
+They followed the sound and found a big room. There were many lights and colors. There were also many people dancing. They were moving their feet and arms and smiling. Anna and Ben liked the music and the dancing. They wanted to join them.
+
+They ran to the middle of the room and started to dance. They did not care that they did not know the people or the steps. They just wanted to have fun. They jumped and spun and laughed.
+
+"Look at them, they are so cute!" a woman said to a man. They were also dancing, but they stopped to watch Anna and Ben.
+
+"Who are they?" the man asked. "Do you know them?"
+
+"No, I don't. They must be guests of the hotel. They are very brave and happy. They are not afraid of the unknown." the woman said.
+
+"Maybe we can learn from them. Maybe we can be more brave and happy too." the man said.
+
+They smiled at each other and held hands. Then they joined Anna and Ben in the dance. They all had a good time.
+Lily was a clever girl who liked to write stories with her pen. She had many books with pictures and words that she read every day. She also had a big scale that could weigh things. She liked to weigh her toys, her books, and even herself.
+
+One day, she had a new idea. She wanted to weigh her pen. She put it on the scale, but it was too light. The scale did not show any numbers. Lily was puzzled. How could she weigh her pen?
+
+She thought hard and had a clever idea. She ran to the kitchen and got a banana. She put the banana on the scale and saw the numbers. It was 100 grams. Then she took the banana off and put the pen on the scale. The numbers did not change. It was still 100 grams.
+
+Lily smiled. She had found a way to weigh her pen. She said to herself, "My pen is as heavy as a banana. It is 100 grams. I am a clever girl!"
+
+She ran to her room and wrote a story with her pen. The story was about a girl who weighed her pen with a banana. She drew a picture of the scale, the pen, and the banana. She was very proud of her story. She showed it to her mom and dad.
+
+They read the story and smiled. They said, "Lily, you are a very clever girl. You have a good pen and a good brain. We are very proud of you!"
+Ben and Lily were playing with their toys in the garden. They had a lot of fun with their cars, dolls, and blocks. But then, a big dog came and ran towards them. It barked loudly and showed its teeth. Ben and Lily were very scared. They dropped their toys and ran to the house.
+
+"Help! Help!" they cried. "A big dog is chasing us!"
+
+Their mom heard them and came out. She saw the big dog and shouted at it. "Go away! Leave my children alone!" The big dog stopped and looked at her. It was not a bad dog, just a curious one. It wagged its tail and ran away.
+
+Mom hugged Ben and Lily and took them inside. She gave them some juice and cookies. "Are you OK, my darlings?" she asked.
+
+Ben and Lily nodded. They were still shaking a little. "Thank you, mom. You are our hero!" they said.
+
+Mom smiled and kissed them. "You are very brave, my darlings. You did not weep or give up. You ran to safety and called for help. You are successful!" she said.
+
+Ben and Lily smiled and hugged her. They felt better. They loved their mom. She was their hero.
+Lily and Sam were playing hide and seek at the station. They liked to see the big trains go by and hear the loud noises. Lily was the seeker and Sam was the hider. He ran behind a big box and waited for Lily to find him.
+
+"Where are you, Sam?" Lily called out. She looked under the benches, behind the trash cans, and in the ticket booth. She could not see Sam anywhere. She started to feel sad and worried. Maybe he got lost or went on a train without her.
+
+Sam heard Lily's voice and wanted to surprise her. He jumped out of the box and shouted, "Boo!" But he did not see Lily. He saw a man in a blue uniform who was holding a walkie-talkie. The man looked angry and scared. He dropped the walkie-talkie and yelled, "Help! There's a kid in the box!"
+
+Lily heard the man's yell and ran to see what was wrong. She saw Sam standing next to the box, looking confused and scared. She saw the man pointing at Sam and talking to the walkie-talkie. She saw other people looking at them and whispering.
+
+Lily ran to Sam and hugged him. She said, "It's okay, Sam. You're not in trouble. You were just playing hide and seek. The man did not know that. He thought you were a bad kid who wanted to steal something from the box."
+
+Sam hugged Lily back. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I did not mean to scare the man. I just wanted to have fun. But now I feel embarrassed. Everyone is looking at us."
+
+Lily said, "Don't worry, Sam. We can go to another place and play something else. Maybe we can find some nice flowers or some funny birds. Come on, let's go."
+
+Lily and Sam held hands and walked away from the box. The man in the blue uniform watched them go and shook his head. He picked up his walkie-talkie and said, "Never mind, it was just a false alarm. Two kids playing hide and seek. Over and out."
+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. They bring their toys and snacks. They have a lot of fun.

+
+Mia is scared. She says to Tom, "No, thank you. I don't like the slide. It is too high and fast. I want to stay here and play with my toys."
+
+Tom says, "Please, Mia. Come with me. It is not scary. It is fun. I will hold your hand. We can go together."

+They run back to the stairs. They bring their smiles. They have a lot of fun.
+Sara was nervous. She wanted to teach her little brother how to eat celery. She liked celery a lot. It was green and crunchy and good for you. But her brother did not like it. He said it was yucky and bitter and made his face funny.
+
+Sara had a plan. She got some peanut butter and a knife. She put some peanut butter on a piece of celery. She gave it to her brother. "Try this," she said. "It is yummy and sweet and makes you strong."
+
+Her brother looked at the celery. He did not trust it. He shook his head. "No, thank you," he said. "I do not want it. I want a cookie."
+
+Sara did not give up. She smiled and said, "Please, just one bite. I will eat one too. See, it is not bad. It is fun. You can make a sound like a rabbit when you eat it. Like this: crunch, crunch, crunch."
+
+Her brother watched her. He was curious. He liked rabbits. He liked sounds. He took the celery from her hand. He sniffed it. He licked it. He bit it. He made a sound like a rabbit. He liked it.

+Her brother nodded. He said, "Yes, please. And can you teach me how to eat other things too?"
+
+Sara said, "Of course. I will teach you how to eat carrots and apples and cheese and many more. We will have fun and be healthy. But first, let us finish our celery."
+
+They ate their celery together. They made sounds like rabbits. They laughed and enjoyed their snack. They were not nervous anymore. They were brave and smart and kind.
+Anna and Ben wanted to decorate the big tree in the garden. They had many shiny things to hang on the branches. They had red balls, yellow stars, green ribbons and silver bells. They also had a big star for the top of the tree.
+
+They took a basket and filled it with the shiny things. They carried the basket to the garden. They saw the big tree. It was very tall and had many branches. They wanted to make it look pretty.
+
+"Let's start from the bottom," said Anna. "You can give me the shiny things and I will hang them on the low branches. Then we can climb up and do the high ones."
+
+"OK," said Ben. He took a red ball from the basket and gave it to Anna. She took the ball and looked for a good place to hang it. She saw a branch with a handle. It was a good place to hang the ball. She put the ball on the handle and it stayed there.
+
+"Look, Ben, I hung the ball on the handle!" she said.
+

+Sam liked to play with his toy aeroplane. He made it fly in the air and zoom around the room. He pretended it was a real aeroplane and he was the pilot. He said, "Hello, this is Sam. I am flying to the moon. Over and out."
+
+His sister Lily wanted to play with the aeroplane too. She said, "Sam, can I have a turn? Please, please, please." But Sam did not want to share. He said, "No, Lily. This is my aeroplane. You have your own toys. Go away."
+
+Lily was sad and angry. She tried to grab the aeroplane from Sam, but he held it tight. They started to fight and pull and shout. Their mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She said, "Sam, Lily, stop fighting. What is going on here?"
+
+Sam said, "Mom, Lily wants to take my aeroplane. But it is mine. I want to keep it." Lily said, "Mom, Sam won't let me play with the aeroplane. He is mean. I want to play too."
+
+Mom said, "Sam, Lily, you are both lively children who like to play. But you need to learn to share and be kind. The aeroplane is not only yours, Sam. It is for both of you. You can take turns and play together. How about you let Lily fly the aeroplane for a while, and then you can have it back?"
+
+Sam thought about it. He liked his aeroplane, but he also liked his sister. He did not want to make her sad. He said, "Okay, Mom. I will share. Lily, you can have a turn. But be careful. Don't break it."

She felt very fancy and happy.
+
+She decided to show the hat to her mom and see if she liked it too. She ran to the kitchen with the hat on her head and said, "Mom, look at me! I have your hat!"
+
+Mom turned around and saw Anna with the hat. She was surprised and amused. She smiled and said, "Anna, you look very pretty with my hat. But you know, this is a special hat that I only wear for special occasions. It is not a toy that you can play with. You have to be careful with it and put it back in the closet."
+
+Anna nodded and said, "Okay, Mom. I'm sorry. I was just curious. I like your hat. Can I wear it someday when we go to a special place?"
+
+Mom hugged Anna and said, "Maybe, sweetheart. Maybe someday you can wear my hat and we can go to a special place together. But for now, let's put it back in the closet and find another hat that you can play with. How about your sun hat or your cowboy hat?"
+
+Anna agreed and followed her mom to the closet. She took off the red hat and gave it to her mom. She looked for another hat that she liked and found her sun hat. It was yellow and had flowers on it. She put it on her head and said, "How about this one, Mom? Do I look pretty?"
+
+Mom said, "You look very pretty, Anna. And very sunny. Come on, let's go outside and enjoy the sun. Maybe we can have a picnic and read a story."
+
+Anna was happy and said, "Yes, Mom. Let's go. I love you and I love your hat. And I love my hat too."
+

+Anna and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park with their toys. One day, they saw a big ladder by a tree. It was for the workers who were fixing the lights.
+
+"Let's climb the ladder!" Ben said. He was brave and curious.
+
+"No, that's not safe!" Anna said. She was thoughtful and careful. "The ladder is not for us. It is for the workers. They might get angry if we touch it."
+
+"But I want to see the top of the tree!" Ben said. He was stubborn and bored.
+
+He ran to the ladder and started to climb. Anna was scared. She did not want Ben to fall or get in trouble. She ran after him and tried to pull him down.
+
+"Ben, stop! Come down!" Anna said.
+
+"No, I want to go higher!" Ben said.
+
+He climbed and climbed until he reached the top. He looked around and saw the park, the cars, the birds and the sky. He felt happy and proud.
+
+"Wow, this is amazing!" Ben said.
+
+He did not see the worker who came back to the ladder. The worker was surprised and angry. He shouted at Ben.
+
+"Hey, kid! What are you doing up there? Get down right now! You are not supposed to be on the ladder!"
+
+Ben was scared and sorry. He did not mean to make the worker mad. He wanted to go down, but he did not know how. He was too high and the ladder was too shaky.
+
+"Help! Help!" Ben cried.
+
+Anna heard Ben's cry. She felt sorry for him. She was thoughtful and kind. She skipped to the worker and said.
+
+"Please, sir, don't be mad at Ben. He is my friend. He just wanted to see the top of the tree. He did not know it was wrong. Can you help him get down?"
+
+The worker looked at Anna. He saw that she was sincere and polite. He calmed down and said.
+
+"Okay, okay. I will help him get down. But you two should never climb on a ladder again. It is dangerous and rude. Do you understand?"
+
+Anna and Ben nodded. They said.
+
+"Yes, sir. We understand. We are sorry. Thank you for helping us."
+
+The worker climbed the ladder and helped Ben get down. He gave them a stern look and said.
+
+"Go and play somewhere else. And be careful and respectful."
+
+Anna and Ben ran away from the ladder. They hugged each other and said.
+
+"I'm glad you are okay, Ben."
+
+"I'm sorry, Anna. You were right. The ladder was not for us."
+
+They learned their lesson. They decided to play with their toys and skip on the grass. They were still best friends.
+Lila and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys and share snacks. One day, Lila has a new doll. She loves her doll very much. She gives her doll a name and a dress.
+
+Ben sees Lila's doll and wants to play with it. He asks Lila, "Can I hold your doll for a bit?"
+
+Lila feels an urge to say no. She does not want to let go of her doll. She thinks Ben might break it or lose it. She hugs her doll tighter and says, "No, this is my doll. You can play with something else."
+
+Ben feels sad and angry. He thinks Lila is not a good friend. He says, "You are mean and selfish. You never share anything with me. I don't want to play with you anymore." He walks away and sits in a corner.
+
+Lila sees Ben's face and feels sorry. She remembers how Ben shared his truck with her when she did not have any toys. She remembers how Ben helped her when she fell and hurt her knee. She remembers how Ben made her laugh with his funny jokes. She thinks Ben is a good friend.
+
+Lila decides to be generous and share her doll with Ben. She walks over to him and says, "I'm sorry, Ben. I was wrong. You can play with my doll for a bit. I want to play with you."
+
+Ben smiles and says, "Thank you, Lila. You are a good friend. I will be careful with your doll. I want to play with you too."
+
+Lila and Ben hug and play with the doll and the truck. They are happy and have fun. They learn to share and be generous.
+Sara and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big tree with many branches. Sara wanted to climb the tree, but Ben was scared.
+
+"Look, Ben, there is a knot on the tree. It is like a step. We can use it to go up," Sara said. She pointed to the knot with her finger.
+
+"I don't know, Sara. The tree is very high. What if we fall?" Ben said. He looked at the tree and felt nervous.
+
+"Don't worry, Ben. We are smart. We can hold on to the branches and be careful. It will be fun. Come on, follow me," Sara said. She smiled and ran to the tree.
+
+Ben took a deep breath and followed Sara. He put his foot on the knot and grabbed a branch. He felt a little brave. He looked up and saw Sara waiting for him.
+
+"Good job, Ben. You did it. Now let's see how high we can go," Sara said. She pointed to another knot higher up.

+Ben and Lily were eager to play with the big cardboard box that dad brought home. They asked mom if they could make a fort with it in the living room. Mom said yes, but they had to be careful and not make a mess.
+
+Ben and Lily ran to the box and started to cut and tape and draw on it. They made a door, a window, a flag and a sign that said "Ben and Lily's Fort". They put some pillows and blankets inside and pretended it was their castle.
+
+They had so much fun that they did not notice how late it was. Mom came to check on them and saw them yawning and rubbing their eyes. She said, "You two have been playing hard. It's time to rest now. You can play with your fort again tomorrow."
+
+Ben and Lily nodded and crawled out of the box. They gave mom a hug and a kiss and said, "Thank you for letting us play with the cardboard, mom. We love our fort."
+
+Mom smiled and said, "You're welcome, my sweeties. I love your fort too. Now let's go to bed and have some sweet dreams."
+
+Ben and Lily followed mom to their bedroom and snuggled in their beds. They closed their eyes and thought about their fort and all the adventures they would have tomorrow. They fell asleep with happy smiles on their faces.
+Lila and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to dig in the sand and look for shiny things. Sometimes they found coins or buttons or rocks. But today they found something very special. It was a gem.
+
+"Wow, look at this!" Lila said, holding up the gem. It was blue and sparkly and smooth. "It is so pretty!"
+
+"Let me see!" Ben said, reaching for the gem. He wanted to touch it too. But Lila did not want to share. She put the gem in her pocket and ran away.
+
+"Hey, come back!" Ben shouted, chasing after her. He was angry and sad. He thought Lila was his friend. Why did she take the gem and run away?
+
+Lila ran to the swings and sat on one. She took out the gem and looked at it. It was still pretty, but it did not make her happy. She felt bad for Ben. She remembered how they played together and shared their toys. She wondered why she took the gem and ran away.
+
+She was confused. She did not know what to do. She wanted to keep the gem, but she also wanted to be nice to Ben. She wished she had not put the gem in her pocket and run away.
+
+She saw Ben coming to the swings. He looked sad and angry. He stopped in front of her and said, "Why did you do that, Lila? Why did you take the gem and run away? Don't you want to be my friend?"
+
+Lila felt sorry for Ben. She realized she had made a mistake. She took out the gem and gave it to him. She said, "I'm sorry, Ben. I don't know why I did that. I was silly and greedy. I do want to be your friend. Can we share the gem?"
+
+Ben smiled and took the gem. He said, "Thank you, Lila. I'm sorry I yelled at you. I was hurt and jealous. I do want to be your friend. Yes, we can share the gem."
+
+They hugged and made up. They decided to take turns holding the gem and playing with it. They also decided to look for more shiny things together. They were happy and not confused anymore. They had learned a lesson about sharing and friendship.

+
+"Wow, Ben, that is so pretty!" Mia said, reaching for the coin. "Can I see it?"
+
+Ben did not want to share. He put the coin in his pocket and ran away. "No, Mia, it is mine! Find your own gold!"
+
+Mia was sad and angry. She ran after Ben and tried to get the coin back. They both fell on the grass and started to fight.
+
+"Stop, stop!" a voice said. It was Mom, who came to see what was going on. She saw Ben and Mia pulling and pushing each other, and the red scarf on the ground.
+
+"What are you doing, kids?" Mom asked, looking confused. "Why are you fighting?"
+
+"Ben has gold and he won't share!" Mia said, pointing at Ben's pocket.
+
+"Mia wants my gold and she won't leave me alone!" Ben said, holding his pocket.
+
+Mom sighed. She picked up the red scarf and the coin. She showed them to Ben and Mia.
+
+"Kids, this is not gold. This is a button. A shiny button, but still a button. And this is not a flag. This is a scarf. A red scarf, but still a scarf. You are playing pirates, remember?"
+
+Ben and Mia looked at the button and the scarf. They felt silly. They had been fighting over nothing.
+
+"Sorry, Ben," Mia said.
+
+"Sorry, Mia," Ben said.
+
+Mom smiled. She gave them a hug and a kiss. She tied the scarf around their necks and gave them the button.
+
+"Here, you can both have the button. And the scarf. You can share them and be friends. And you can still play pirates, if you want. But no more fighting, okay?"
+
+"Okay, Mom," Ben and Mia said.
+
+They thanked Mom and went back to their box. They put the button in a small cup and pretended it was gold. They waved the scarf and pretended it was a flag. They had fun and played nicely. They were happy pirates.
+Sara and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to dig and water the plants. They saw a big green squash growing on a vine. Sara wanted to pick it and take it home.
+
+"Look, Ben, a squash! Can we have it?" Sara asked.
+
+Ben shook his head. "No, Sara, we have to wait. The squash is not ready yet. It is still hard and small. It needs more sun and water to grow big and soft."
+
+Sara was sad. She wanted the squash now. She tried to pull it off the vine, but it was too strong. She pulled harder and harder, but the squash did not move.
+
+"Stop, Sara, stop!" Ben said. "You are hurting the squash and the vine. You are not flexible. You have to be flexible and patient. Then the squash will be ready and we can share it."
+
+Sara realized that Ben was right. She was being stubborn and selfish. She let go of the squash and said sorry to the vine. She decided to be flexible and wait for the squash to grow. She hugged Ben and said sorry to him too.
+
+"It's okay, Sara. I forgive you. Let's play something else. Maybe we can make a mud pie or a flower crown," Ben said.
+
+Sara smiled and nodded. She was happy to play with Ben. They were good friends. They went to find some mud and flowers. They forgot about the squash for a while. But they knew that one day, the squash would be ready and they would enjoy it together.
+Tom likes to play in the garden. He likes to see the flowers and the bugs and the birds. One day, he sees a bird on the ground. It does not fly or sing. It looks sad and hurt.
+
+Tom runs to the bird and picks it up. He wants to help it. He says, "Don't be scared, bird. I am your friend. I will bring you to my house and make you comfortable." He holds the bird gently and walks to his house.
+
+He finds a shoe box and puts some soft paper and grass inside. He puts the bird in the box and gives it some water and seeds. He says, "This is your new home, bird. You can rest here and get better. I will take care of you."
+
+The bird looks at Tom and makes a small sound. It seems to say, "Thank you, Tom. You are very kind. You make me feel comfortable." Tom smiles and pets the bird. He says, "You are welcome, bird. I like you. You are my new friend."
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play with cards. They have many cards with animals and colors. They can make pairs and say the names.
+
+One day, they walk to the park with their moms. They bring their cards in a bag. They want to play on the grass. But when they get to the park, they see a big dog. The dog is black and brown. It has a loud bark. It runs to them.
+
+Anna and Ben are scared. They drop their bag. The cards fall out. The dog sees the cards. It thinks they are toys. It grabs some cards in its mouth. It runs away.
+
+"Oh no!" Anna says. "Our cards!"
+
+"Bad dog!" Ben says. "Give them back!"
+
+Anna and Ben are worried. They love their cards. They do not want to lose them. They look at their moms. Their moms are calm. They call the dog's owner.
+
+"Hey, sir!" one mom says. "Your dog has our kids' cards. Can you please get them back?"
+
+The dog's owner is sorry. He did not see the cards. He runs after the dog. He tells the dog to drop the cards. The dog listens. It drops the cards. It wags its tail. It wants to play.
+
+The dog's owner brings the cards back. He gives them to Anna and Ben. He says he is sorry again. He says the dog is friendly. He asks if they want to pet the dog.
+
+Anna and Ben are not scared anymore. They see the dog is nice. They say thank you to the dog's owner. They pet the dog. The dog licks their faces. They laugh.
+
+Anna and Ben are happy. They have their cards back. They can play with them. They can also play with the dog. They have a fun day at the park.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the yard. They liked to pretend they were builders and make things with lumber. Lumber was big and hard and brown. They had a lot of lumber from their dad, who worked at a lumber shop.
+
+They used the lumber to make a house, a bridge, a tower, and a boat. They had fun playing with their lumber toys. They took turns being the captain, the princess, the giant, and the hero.
+
+But then, a big cloud came and covered the sun. It started to rain. The rain was cold and wet and made the lumber wet too. Lily and Ben did not like the rain. They wanted to keep playing with their lumber.
+
+"Let's go inside," Lily said. "We can play with something else."
+
+"No, I want to play with the lumber," Ben said. "It is still fun."
+
+"But the lumber is wet and dirty," Lily said. "It will make a mess in the house. And it might change and get bad."
+
+"How can lumber change?" Ben asked. He did not understand.
+
+Lily remembered what her dad had told her. "Lumber can change when it gets wet. It can get soft and bendy and break. It can get moldy and smelly and sick. It can get bugs and worms and holes. We don't want that to happen to our lumber, do we?"
+
+Ben thought about it. He did not want his lumber to change. He liked his lumber the way it was. He did not want it to get soft or moldy or buggy. He wanted it to stay big and hard and brown.
+
+"Okay, let's go inside," Ben said. "We can play with something else. Maybe we can play with blocks or puzzles or books. They are dry and clean and good."
+
+Lily smiled. She was glad Ben agreed. She took his hand and they ran inside. They left their lumber in the yard, hoping it would dry and stay the same. They found some playful toys to play with in the house. They had fun playing with their toys. They forgot about the rain and the lumber. They were happy.
+Tom and Mia liked to play in the park. They saw a big hill with a hole in it. They wanted to see what was inside. They made a plan to go to the hole and look.
+
+"Let's go to the hole when mom is not looking," Tom said.
+
+"OK, but we have to be fast and quiet," Mia said.
+
+They waited for mom to talk to another mom. Then they ran to the hill. They got to the hole and peeked inside. It was dark and cold. They heard a noise.
+
+"Roar!"
+
+They saw a big bear in the hole. It was a cave. The bear was angry. It wanted them to go away.
+
+"Run!" Tom shouted.
+
+They ran back to mom. They were scared and sorry. They did not want to make the bear mad.
+
+"Mom, we are sorry. We went to the hole. It was a cave. There was a bear," Mia said.
+
+Mom was worried and angry. She hugged them and scolded them.
+
+"You should not go to the hole. It is dangerous. You could get hurt. You have to listen to me. I am frustrated with you," mom said.
+
+Tom and Mia said sorry again. They learned their lesson. They did not go to the hole again. They played in the park with mom. They were happy and safe.
+Sara and Tom were twins. They liked to play with toys and books. But sometimes they were naughty. They did not listen to Mom and Dad.
+
+One day, Mom and Dad went to the shop. They told Sara and Tom to stay at home and be good. They said they would buy a surprise for them if they were good.
+
+But Sara and Tom did not want to wait. They wanted to see the surprise. They looked around the house. They found Mom's purse and Dad's keys. They decided to go to the shop too.
+
+They took Mom's purse and Dad's keys and ran out of the door. They did not see the alarm on the wall. The alarm was loud. It made a beep beep sound. It told Mom and Dad that Sara and Tom were gone.
+
+Mom and Dad heard the alarm. They were worried. They ran back to the house. They saw the alarm on the wall. They saw Mom's purse and Dad's keys on the floor. They knew Sara and Tom were naughty.
+
+They got in the car and drove to the shop. They saw Sara and Tom in the shop. They were holding the surprise. It was a big teddy bear. Sara and Tom were happy. They thought they were clever.
+
+Mom and Dad were not happy. They were angry. They took the teddy bear and the purse and the keys. They said to Sara and Tom:
+
+"You are very naughty. You did not listen to us. You made the alarm beep. You took our things. You could have been lost or hurt. You do not get the surprise. You go back to the house. You go to your room. You say sorry."
+
+Sara and Tom were sad. They knew they were naughty. They did not like the alarm. They did not like the angry faces. They did not like the room. They wanted the teddy bear. They said sorry.
+
+Mom and Dad were still angry. But they were also glad. They were glad Sara and Tom were safe. They hugged them and said:
+
+"We love you. But you have to listen to us. We want you to be good. We want you to be happy. Maybe next time you will get a surprise. But only if you are good."
+
+Sara and Tom nodded. They said they would be good. They hoped Mom and Dad would buy them the teddy bear. They hoped the alarm would not beep again. They hoped they would not be naughty again.
+Tom and Mia were friends who liked to play outside. They had a big shelter made of sticks and leaves where they kept their toys and snacks. One day, the sky was dark and the wind was harsh. It made loud noises and blew away some of their sticks.
+
+"Let's go inside the shelter, it's scary out here!" Mia said.
+
+"OK, but we have to share our space and our things," Tom said.
+
+They ran to the shelter and crawled inside. They hugged each other and felt safer. They looked at their toys and snacks. They had a ball, a doll, a car, a book, a banana, and a cookie.
+
+"I want the ball and the banana," Tom said.
+
+"I want the doll and the cookie," Mia said.
+
+They traded their toys and snacks and smiled. They played with their ball and doll, and ate their banana and cookie. They shared their book and read it together. They were happy and warm.
+
+The wind stopped and the sky cleared. They peeked outside and saw the sun. They saw their sticks and leaves scattered on the ground.
+
+"Let's fix our shelter, it's broken," Mia said.
+
+"OK, but we have to share our work and our fun," Tom said.
+
+They went outside and picked up their sticks and leaves. They worked together to rebuild their shelter. They made it bigger and stronger. They laughed and sang. They shared their car and drove it around. They were proud and glad.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys and books. They also like to learn new words. Sometimes they learn words from other languages. Languages are how people talk to each other.
+
+One day, Lily and Ben find a book with funny pictures and words. The book is about animals from different places. Lily and Ben try to say the words in the book. They sound funny and make them laugh.
+
+"Look, this is a llama. It says 'llama' in Spanish. Can you say 'llama'?" Lily asks Ben.
+
+"Llama, llama, llama!" Ben repeats, making a funny face.
+
+"And this is a panda. It says 'panda' in Chinese. Can you say 'panda'?" Lily asks Ben.
+
+"Panda, panda, panda!" Ben repeats, making a funny face.
+
+They turn the page and see a big elephant. It says 'elephant' in English. They both know this word.
+
+"Elephant, elephant, elephant!" They say together, making a funny noise.
+
+They have fun learning new words and laughing. They include the book in their play. They like languages. Languages are funny and fun.
+Sara and Ben are playing in the park. They like to run and slide and swing. But it is very hot today. The sun is bright and makes them sweat. They look for some shade to rest.
+
+They see a big tree with many leaves. It has a lot of shade under it. They run to the tree and sit down. They feel cooler and happier.
+
+But then they hear a loud cry. It is coming from the other side of the tree. They get up and look. They see a little boy with an orange balloon. He is crying very hard. His balloon has a hole and is losing air.
+
+"Who are you?" Sara asks the boy.
+
+"I am Tom," the boy says. "I got this balloon for my birthday. But it popped on a branch. Now it is going away. I am very sad."
+
+Sara and Ben feel sorry for Tom. They want to help him. They have an idea.
+
+"Tom, don't cry," Ben says. "We have something for you. Look!"
+
+Ben shows Tom his toy car. It is orange and shiny. It can go fast and make noises.
+
+"Wow, that is a cool car!" Tom says. He stops crying and smiles.
+
+"Do you want to play with it?" Ben asks.
+
+"Yes, please!" Tom says.
+
+Ben gives Tom his car. Tom is very happy. He thanks Ben and hugs him.
+
+Sara smiles and says, "Now we are all friends. Let's play together in the shade. It is more fun than crying alone."
+
+They all agree and start to play. They share their toys and stories. They laugh and have fun. They forget about the heat and the balloon. They are happy in the shade.
+Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They gather sticks and leaves and make a big pile. They pretend it is a nest for a bird.
+
+"Look, our nest is so big and cozy!" Sara says.
+
+"Yes, and we are the birds!" Ben says. "We can sing and fly and eat worms!"
+
+They laugh and flap their arms. They lie down in the nest and close their eyes. They pretend to sleep.
+
+Soon, they hear a noise. It is a real bird. It is sitting on a branch above them. It is friendly. It sings a song.
+
+"Hello, bird!" Sara and Ben say. They open their eyes and smile.
+
+"Hello, children!" the bird says. "You have a nice nest. Can I join you?"
+
+"Of course!" Sara and Ben say. "We are happy to share!"
+
+They make room for the bird in the nest. They talk and sing and play. They have a lot of fun.
+
+They are glad they have a new friend. They are glad they gather sticks and leaves. They are glad they wake up in the park.
+Tom and Lily were twins who loved to play games. They had many toys and books, because their parents were wealthy and gave them many gifts. But they also liked to make up their own games, using their imagination and creativity.
+
+One day, they decided to play a game of knights and dragons. Tom wore a cardboard helmet and a wooden sword, and Lily wore a paper crown and a plastic wand. They pretended that their bed was a castle, and their pillows were dragons. They took turns to attack and defend the castle, making loud noises and funny faces.
+
+"Roar! I am a fierce dragon, and I will burn your castle with my fire!" Lily said, throwing a pillow at Tom.
+
+"Ha! You are no match for me, brave knight! I will protect my castle with my sword and shield!" Tom said, blocking the pillow with his cardboard shield.
+
+They played for a long time, until they were tired and hungry. Then they decided to end the game with a final battle. They both ran towards each other, waving their weapons and shouting.
+
+"Charge! For the king and the queen!" Tom said.
+
+"Charge! For the dragon and the magic!" Lily said.
+
+They met in the middle of the room, and fell down on the floor, laughing. They hugged each other and said, "You are a good knight, Tom!" and "You are a good dragon, Lily!"
+
+They had so much fun, that they felt like they both won the game. They called their parents to come and see their game. Their parents were very proud of them, and applauded their victory. They said, "You are very clever and creative, Tom and Lily! We love you very much!"
+
+Tom and Lily smiled and thanked their parents. They were happy and content, because they had the best game, the best parents, and the best twin.
+Lily was a little girl who liked to play with her dolls. She had a big dollhouse with many rooms and furniture. She liked to pretend that her dolls were a royal family and she was their queen.
+
+One day, she took her favorite doll, Anna, to the park with her mom. She wanted to show Anna the flowers and the swings. She put Anna on a bench and ran to the slide. She had fun sliding down and climbing up again.
+
+But when she came back to the bench, Anna was gone. Lily felt sad and scared. She looked around and saw a boy holding Anna. He was walking away with his mom.
+
+"Hey, that's my doll!" Lily shouted. She ran after the boy and his mom. "Please give her back, she's my queen!"
+
+The boy's mom heard Lily and stopped. She looked at the doll and then at Lily. She saw that Lily was crying and upset.
+
+"I'm sorry, honey, I didn't know this was your doll. My son found her on the bench and thought she was lost. Here, you can have her back." She handed Anna to Lily.
+
+Lily hugged Anna and thanked the boy's mom. She was happy to have her queen back. She told Anna she was sorry for leaving her alone and promised to take good care of her. She returned to her mom and showed her Anna. Her mom smiled and kissed her.
+
+"Let's go home, Lily. It's time for lunch. You can play with your dollhouse later."
+
+Lily nodded and held Anna tight. She was glad to have her queen and her mom. She felt safe and loved.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the basement. They liked to pretend they were explorers and find old things. They had a flashlight to see in the dark.
+
+But then the flashlight stopped working. It was very dark and they could not see anything. They were scared.
+
+"Tom, I don't like this," Lily said. "I want to go back upstairs."
+
+"Me too," Tom said. "But how do we find the stairs?"
+
+They tried to remember where they came from, but they did not know. They heard a noise and thought it was a bad animal.
+
+"Help!" they shouted. "Help us!"
+
+Their mom heard them and came down with another flashlight. She saw them and hugged them.
+
+"Mom, you saved us!" Lily said.
+
+"What happened?" mom asked.
+
+"Our flashlight broke and we got lost and we heard a bad noise," Tom said.
+
+"I'm sorry, sweeties. It was just the furnace. It makes a noise sometimes. But you are safe now. Let's go upstairs and have some cookies."
+
+Lily and Tom were happy. They followed mom and left the basement. They decided they did not want to play explorers anymore. They wanted to play something else.
+Lily and Tom like to jog with Mom and Dad in the park. They see many things when they jog. They see trees and flowers and birds and dogs. They like to jog and have fun.
+
+One day, when they jog, they see something new. They see a big brown owl on a branch. The owl has big eyes and a sharp beak. The owl looks at them and says, "Hoo, hoo, hoo."
+
+Lily and Tom stop and look at the owl. They think the owl is lovely. They want to say hello to the owl. They say, "Hi, owl. You are lovely. What are you doing here?"
+
+The owl says, "Hoo, hoo, hoo. I am here to sleep. I am a night owl. I sleep in the day and hunt in the night. But you are lovely too. You are jogging and having fun. That is good."
+
+Lily and Tom smile and say, "Thank you, owl. You are very smart. We are sorry to wake you up. We will let you sleep now. Good night, owl."
+
+The owl says, "Hoo, hoo, hoo. Good night, Lily and Tom. Have a nice jog. See you again."
+
+Lily and Tom wave to the owl and jog away. They are happy to meet the owl. They jog with Mom and Dad and tell them about the owl. Mom and Dad are proud of Lily and Tom. They say, "You are very brave and polite. You made a new friend today. The owl is lovely and so are you."
+Lily and Ben were friends. They liked to play with chalk on the sidewalk. They had many colors of chalk: red, blue, yellow, green, and pink. They drew flowers, cars, stars, and animals.
+
+One day, a new boy came to play. His name was Max. He had no chalk. He asked Lily and Ben if he could share their chalk. Lily and Ben said yes. They were nice.
+
+But Max was not nice. He took all the pink chalk and broke it in half. He said pink was an ugly color. He threw the pieces on the ground. Lily and Ben were sad. They liked pink. It was their favorite color.
+
+Lily and Ben told Max to stop. They said he was being mean. They said he had to share the chalk and be careful with it. They said he had to say sorry.
+
+Max did not listen. He laughed and ran away. He took the green chalk with him. He said he did not want to play with Lily and Ben. He said they were boring.
+
+Lily and Ben were angry. They did not like Max. He was a bad boy. They picked up the pieces of pink chalk and hugged each other. They said they were still friends. They said they would share their chalk and make more drawings. They said they would have fun.
+Lila was lying in her bed, trying to sleep. She heard a buzzing sound near her ear. She opened her eyes and saw a mosquito flying around. She did not like mosquitoes. They made her itch and hurt.
+
+She tried to shoo the mosquito away with her hand, but it was stubborn. It kept coming back, trying to bite her. She wondered why the mosquito was so mean. She wished it would go away and leave her alone.
+
+She got up and turned on the light. She looked for the mosquito, but it was hiding. She grabbed a book and waited for it to show up. She wanted to hit it and make it stop.
+
+She saw the mosquito land on the wall. She ran towards it with the book, but it flew away. She missed it and hit the wall instead. It made a loud noise. She heard her mom's voice from the other room.
+
+"Lila, what are you doing? It's time to sleep!"
+
+Lila felt bad. She did not want to make her mom angry. She put the book down and turned off the light. She crawled back into her bed and pulled the blanket over her head.
+
+"Sorry, mom. There was a mosquito. It was bothering me."
+
+She heard her mom sigh and open the door. She felt her mom's hand on her head.
+
+"I know, sweetie. Mosquitoes are annoying. But you can't chase them with a book. You might hurt yourself or break something. Next time, just use the spray or the net. OK?"
+
+Lila nodded. She felt her mom kiss her forehead.
+
+"Good night, Lila. I love you."
+
+"Good night, mom. I love you too."
+
+She closed her eyes and tried to sleep. She hoped the mosquito was gone. She wondered if it had a mom too.
+Anna and Ben were playing with crayons. They liked to draw on paper and make colorful pictures. Anna had a big box of crayons with many different colors. Ben had a small box with only a few colors.
+
+"Can I have some of your crayons, Anna?" Ben asked. "I want to draw a rainbow."
+
+"OK, Ben. You can have some of my crayons. But you have to be careful. They are very special to me." Anna said. She opened her big box and gave Ben some crayons.
+
+Ben was happy. He took the crayons and started to draw a rainbow. He used red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. He made a big arc on his paper.
+
+Anna watched Ben. She saw that he had used all the colors she liked. She felt angry. She wanted her crayons back.
+
+"Ben, give me my crayons back. You have used enough. I want to draw too." Anna said. She reached for the crayons.
+
+"No, Anna. I am not done. I want to draw more. These are my crayons now." Ben said. He held the crayons tight.
+
+Anna and Ben started to pull the crayons. They both wanted the crayons. They did not want to share. They struggled with the crayons. The crayons were heavy and hard to hold.
+
+The crayons broke. They snapped in half. They fell on the floor. They rolled away. Anna and Ben looked at the broken crayons. They felt sad. They had ruined their crayons. They had no more crayons to draw with.
+
+They looked at each other. They felt sorry. They had been mean to each other. They did not want to fight anymore. They wanted to be friends.
+
+"I am sorry, Anna. I should have shared with you. You can have some of my crayons." Ben said.
+
+"I am sorry, Ben. I should have let you draw more. You can have some of my crayons." Anna said.
+
+They hugged each other. They picked up the broken crayons. They put them back in their boxes. They decided to draw together. They used the broken crayons to make new colors. They made a new picture. They made a picture of a rainbow and two friends. They were happy.
+Anna was very scared. She had to go to the hospital for an operation. She did not like the hospital. It was big and noisy and smelled funny. She did not want to leave her mom and dad.
+
+A nurse came to take her to a room. She was bossy. She told Anna to put on a gown and lie on a bed. She put a band on her arm and a sticker on her chest. She said it was to check her heart and blood. Anna did not like it. She wanted to go home.
+
+"Please don't cry, Anna," the nurse said. "The doctor will be here soon. He is very nice. He will make you feel better."
+
+Anna did not believe her. She cried harder. She wanted her mom and dad.
+
+Then, the door opened and a man came in. He had a white coat and a mask and a hat. He was the doctor. He smiled at Anna. He had kind eyes.
+
+"Hello, Anna," he said. "I'm Dr. Lee. I'm here to help you. Do you know why you need an operation?"
+
+Anna nodded. She had a bad ear. It hurt a lot. She could not hear well.
+
+"That's right," Dr. Lee said. "Your ear has an infection. I'm going to fix it for you. It will be very quick and easy. You won't feel any pain. You will just go to sleep for a little while. When you wake up, your ear will be better. And you will get a sticker and a toy."
+
+Anna looked at him. He sounded nice. He did not sound bossy. He smiled again.
+
+"Can I hold your hand?" Anna asked.
+
+"Of course you can," Dr. Lee said. He took her hand and squeezed it gently. "You are very brave, Anna. I'm proud of you. Are you ready to go?"
+
+Anna nodded. She felt a little less scared. She smiled back at him.
+
+"Yes, I'm ready," she said.
+Lila and Sam were restless. They did not want to nap. They wanted to play. They looked at the window and saw the wild birds. They had bright colors and loud songs. They flew from tree to tree.
+
+"Let's go outside and see the birds!" Lila said to Sam.
+
+"OK, but we have to be quiet. Mom is sleeping," Sam said.
+
+They put on their shoes and jackets and opened the door. They ran to the backyard. They saw the birds on the fence and the grass. They tried to get closer, but the birds flew away.
+
+"Come back, birds! We want to be your friends!" Lila shouted.
+
+"Shh, Lila! You are scaring them!" Sam whispered.
+
+They saw a birdhouse on a pole. It had a hole and a perch. They saw a blue bird inside. It looked at them with its black eyes.
+
+"Maybe this bird will let us play with it," Lila said.
+
+She took a chair from the patio and set it under the pole. She climbed on the chair and reached for the birdhouse.
+
+"Be careful, Lila! You might fall!" Sam said.
+
+But Lila did not listen. She grabbed the birdhouse and pulled it down. The blue bird flew out and squawked. It pecked Lila's hand and made her cry.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow! The bird bit me!" Lila wailed.
+
+Sam ran to her and hugged her. He saw blood on her hand. He was scared.
+
+"Mom, mom, mom! Help!" He yelled.
+
+Mom heard the noise and woke up. She ran to the backyard and saw Lila and Sam. She saw the birdhouse on the ground and the blue bird flying away.
+
+"What happened here?" She asked.
+
+"Lila wanted to play with the bird, but the bird was wild and bit her," Sam said.
+
+Mom took Lila's hand and cleaned it. She put a band-aid on it and kissed it.
+
+"It's OK, Lila. The bird was scared and angry. You should not touch wild animals. They need their space and their home," Mom said.
+
+"I'm sorry, Mom. I just wanted to see the bird," Lila said.
+
+"I know, Lila. But you have to be gentle and respectful with nature. And you have to listen to Sam. He was trying to help you," Mom said.
+
+"I'm sorry, Sam. You were right. I was not careful," Lila said.
+
+"It's OK, Lila. I'm glad you are OK. I love you," Sam said.
+
+They hugged each other and said sorry. Mom smiled and hugged them too.
+
+"Come on, let's go inside and have some cookies. And then you can nap. You must be tired after your adventure," Mom said.
+
+Lila and Sam nodded and followed Mom. They learned their lesson and decided to watch the birds from the window next time.
+Tom was a loyal dog who lived with a farmer. He liked to help the farmer with his work and play with him. He also liked to display his tricks to the farmer, like sit, roll and fetch.
+
+One day, the farmer had to go to the town to sell some eggs and milk. He told Tom to stay at the farm and guard the chickens and cows. Tom nodded and barked. He wanted to be a good dog and do his job.
+
+But while the farmer was away, a fox came to the farm. He saw the chickens and licked his lips. He wanted to eat them for his lunch. He sneaked into the chicken coop and grabbed one of the hens.
+
+Tom heard the hen squawk and ran to the coop. He saw the fox and growled. He chased the fox and bit his tail. The fox dropped the hen and ran away. Tom barked and wagged his tail. He had saved the hen and scared the fox.
+
+The farmer came back and saw what Tom had done. He was very happy and proud of his dog. He hugged Tom and gave him a bone. He said, "You are a very loyal and brave dog, Tom. You displayed your skills and protected the farm. I love you, Tom." Tom licked the farmer's face and wagged his tail. He loved the farmer too. They were the best friends.
+Sara and Tom are best friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big pond with many ducks. Sara and Tom want to feed the ducks. They have some bread in their bags.
+
+They go near the pond and break the bread into small pieces. They throw the pieces to the ducks. The ducks are happy. They quack and swim to get the bread. Sara and Tom smile and laugh.
+
+But then, they hear a loud voice. It is the park keeper. He is angry. He says, "Stop! You cannot feed the ducks. It is bad for them. Go away!"
+
+Sara and Tom are scared. They do not want to make the park keeper mad. They do not want to hurt the ducks. They look at each other. They do not know what to do.
+
+Tom has an idea. He whispers to Sara, "Let's run. Follow me." He takes Sara's hand and they run away from the pond. They hide behind a big tree. They wait until the park keeper is gone.
+
+They peek from the tree. The pond is clear. The ducks are calm. The park keeper is not there. Sara and Tom sigh. They are safe. They hug each other. They say, "We are sorry, ducks. We did not know. We will not feed you again. We love you."
+
+They walk back to the park. They play with their ball. They are happy. They are best friends.
+Lily loved spaghetti. She liked to eat it with cheese and sauce. She liked to twirl it on her fork. She liked to slurp it in her mouth.
+
+One day, Lily wanted to help her mom make spaghetti. She asked her mom, "Can I help you, please?"
+
+Her mom smiled and said, "Yes, you can help me, Lily. You can kneel on this chair and watch me cook. You can stir the sauce and sprinkle the cheese."
+
+Lily was happy. She climbed on the chair and knelt on it. She held a big spoon and stirred the sauce. She saw the spaghetti boiling in the pot. She smelled the cheese and the sauce. She said, "Yummy!"
+
+Her mom said, "You are very helpful, Lily. Thank you for helping me. Now we can eat the spaghetti together. Do you want some more cheese?"
+
+Lily nodded and said, "Yes, please. I love cheese. I love spaghetti. I love you, mom."
+
+Her mom hugged her and said, "I love you, too, Lily. You are my sweet spaghetti helper."
+Lily and Max were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they found a big pile of leaves in the park. They ran to the pile and jumped in. They laughed and threw leaves at each other. They enjoyed the fun game.
+
+"Look, Lily, I found a red leaf!" Max said, holding up a leaf.
+
+"Wow, Max, it is so pretty!" Lily said, admiring the leaf. "Can I have it?"
+
+"Sure, Lily, you can have it. Here you go." Max gave the leaf to Lily. She smiled and put it in her pocket.
+
+They played some more, until they heard their mom calling them. They got out of the pile and ran to their mom. She hugged them and said, "Did you have a good time, my loves?"
+
+"Yes, mom, we had a lot of fun!" Lily and Max said together.
+
+They walked home with their mom. On the way, they saw a lemonade stand. They asked their mom if they could have some lemonade. She said yes and gave them some money. They bought two cups of lemonade and drank them.
+
+"Yuck, this is bitter!" Lily said, making a face.
+
+"I don't like it either!" Max said, spitting it out.
+
+They threw away the lemonade and wiped their mouths. They decided they did not like bitter drinks. They liked sweet drinks better.
+
+They got home and changed their clothes. They took off their pants and put on their pajamas. They showed their mom the red leaf they found. She said it was very beautiful and put it in a book. She read them a story and tucked them in bed. They kissed their mom and said good night. They fell asleep, dreaming of the big pile of leaves. They were happy.
+Lila and Ben were playing with their blocks. They liked to attach them together and make towers and bridges and houses. They had many colors of blocks: red, blue, yellow, green, and white.
+
+One day, they found a new block in their toy box. It was gray and rough and had black spots on it. It did not look like the other blocks. They were confused. What was this block?
+
+"Where did this block come from?" Lila asked.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe it was a gift from someone," Ben said.
+
+They tried to attach it to their other blocks, but it did not fit. It was too big and heavy and it made their towers and bridges and houses fall down. They did not like this block.
+
+"Let's throw it away. It is a bad block," Lila said.
+
+"OK. But where do we throw it?" Ben asked.
+
+They looked around and saw a big metal bin outside their window. It had a sign that said "Trash". They decided to throw the block there.
+
+They opened the window and tossed the block into the bin. But as soon as they did, they heard a loud boom and saw a bright flash. The bin was on fire and smoke was coming out of it. The block was not a block. It was a firework.
+
+Lila and Ben were scared. They ran to their mom and told her what happened. She hugged them and said, "Don't worry, my loves. You are safe. But you should never play with things you don't know. That was a very dangerous thing to do. That firework could have hurt you or someone else. Do you understand?"
+
+Lila and Ben nodded. They were sorry. They did not know that the gray block was a firework. They did not know that it could make fire and ash and noise. They learned a lesson. They would only play with their blocks and their toys. They would never touch anything strange again.
+Sara and Ben like to play in the park. They like to slide, swing, and run. One day, they find a shiny thing in the grass. It is small and hard and has many colors.
+
+"What is this?" Sara asks.
+
+"I don't know," Ben says. "Maybe it is a candy."
+
+They try to bite it, but it is too hard. It hurts their teeth.
+
+"Ow!" Sara says. "This is not a candy. It is a rock."
+
+"Maybe it is a special rock," Ben says. "Maybe it is a diamond."
+
+"What is a diamond?" Sara asks.
+
+"A diamond is a pretty rock that people wear on their fingers or necks," Ben says. "My mom has one. She says it is very expensive."
+
+"Wow," Sara says. "Do you think this is a diamond?"
+
+"I don't know," Ben says. "Let's guess. If it is a diamond, we can buy many toys and candies. If it is not a diamond, we can still keep it as a treasure."
+
+"OK," Sara says. "I guess it is a diamond. What do you guess?"
+
+"I guess it is a diamond, too," Ben says. "It is so shiny and pretty. It must be a diamond."
+
+They hold the shiny thing in their hands and smile. They are very happy. They do not know that it is not a diamond, but a glass bead that someone dropped. They do not care. They have a new treasure and a new game. They are best friends.
+Lily and Ben were friends. They liked to play in the park. They had a lot of fun. But one day, the sky was dark and loud. It started to rain hard. Lily and Ben were wet and cold.
+
+"Let's go to the shelter!" Ben said. The shelter was a big tent in the park. It was for people who had no home. Lily and Ben ran to the shelter. They hoped they could stay there until the rain stopped.
+
+Inside the shelter, they saw many people. Some were sleeping on mats. Some were eating soup. Some were talking or reading. Lily and Ben felt shy. They did not know anyone.
+
+"Hello, little ones. Are you lost?" A kind lady asked them. She had a warm smile and a soft voice.
+
+"No, we are not lost. We are friends. We came from the park. It is raining hard. Can we stay here?" Lily said.
+
+"Of course, you can. This is a place for everyone who needs help. You can have some soup and a blanket. You can play with the toys. You are safe here." The kind lady said.
+
+"Thank you, kind lady. You are nice." Ben said.
+
+Lily and Ben smiled. They were happy. They had soup and a blanket. They played with the toys. They made new friends. They forgot about the rain. They felt normal. They hoped the kind lady would always be there.
+Lily and Ben are playing hide and seek in the garden. Lily is the seeker and Ben is the hider. Lily counts to ten and then looks for Ben. She sees a big bush with red flowers. She thinks Ben might be hiding there.
+
+She walks to the bush and says, "I see you, Ben!" She peeks behind the bush, but there is no Ben. There is only a hairy cat. The cat meows and rubs its head on Lily's leg. Lily giggles and pets the cat. She likes the cat, but she still wants to find Ben.
+
+She leaves the bush and the cat and looks for Ben again. She sees a small shed with a door. She thinks Ben might be hiding there. She walks to the shed and says, "I see you, Ben!" She opens the door, but there is no Ben. There is only a quiet mouse. The mouse squeaks and runs away. Lily frowns and closes the door. She does not like the mouse, and she still wants to find Ben.
+
+She leaves the shed and the mouse and looks for Ben again. She sees a big tree with green leaves. She thinks Ben might be hiding there. She walks to the tree and says, "I see you, Ben!" She peeks behind the tree, and there is Ben. Ben smiles and says, "You found me, Lily!" Lily smiles and says, "I found you, Ben!" They hug and laugh. They like each other, and they like to play hide and seek.
+Lily liked to draw with her purple crayon. She drew flowers, stars, and animals on the paper. Sometimes she drew on the wall, too. She thought it looked pretty.
+
+One day, Mom saw the wall and was not happy. She told Lily to come here. She gave Lily a lecture. She said, "Lily, you cannot draw on the wall. That is bad. The wall is not paper. You have to use paper to draw. Do you understand?"
+
+Lily nodded. She felt sorry. She said, "I'm sorry, Mom. I like purple. I wanted to make the wall purple."
+
+Mom said, "I know you like purple, but you have to ask before you use crayon on anything. Crayon is hard to clean. Now we have to scrub the wall. Can you help me?"
+
+Lily said, "Yes, Mom. I will help you. And I will not draw on the wall again. I will use paper."
+
+Mom smiled. She said, "Thank you, Lily. I love you. And I love your drawings. But only on paper, okay?"
+
+Lily hugged Mom. She said, "I love you, too, Mom. And I love paper. Can I have some more?"
+
+Mom said, "Yes, you can. But first, let's clean the wall."
+Lily was a thin girl who liked to draw. She had many papers with her drawings of animals, flowers and people. She was proud of her drawings and wanted to show them to her friends.
+
+One day, she took her papers to school and put them on her desk. She saw Ben, a boy who liked to play with cars and trucks. He came to her desk and looked at her drawings.
+
+"What are these?" he asked.
+
+"These are my drawings. Do you like them?" Lily said.
+
+Ben picked up one of her papers and frowned. He did not recognize the animal on it. It had a long neck, spots and horns.
+
+"This is not a real animal. This is silly. You can't draw well." he said. He tore the paper in half and threw it on the floor.
+
+Lily felt sad and angry. She liked her drawings and did not want Ben to hurt them. She picked up the torn paper and hugged it.
+
+"Stop it! That is not nice. This is a giraffe. It is a real animal. I saw it in a book. My drawings have value. They are not silly. You are mean." she said.
+
+Ben did not care. He laughed and walked away. He did not value Lily's drawings or feelings.
+
+Lily cried and looked at her other papers. She hoped Ben would not come back and tear them too. She wished her friends would come and see her drawings and say nice things. She wanted someone to recognize her talent and make her happy.
+Sam and Mia are friends. They like to play with trains. They have a big box of trains and tracks. They make a long track on the floor. They put the trains on the track. They make train sounds.
+
+"Choo choo!" Sam says.
+
+"Choo choo!" Mia says.
+
+They have fun with the trains. They pretend to go to different places. They stop at the station. They let the people get on and off. They are generous. They share the trains and the tracks.
+
+One day, a new boy comes to play. His name is Leo. He likes trains too. He sees Sam and Mia's trains. He wants to play with them. He goes to the box and takes a train.
+
+"Hey, that's my train!" Sam says.
+
+"No, it's mine now!" Leo says.
+
+He runs away with the train. Sam and Mia are sad. They want their train back. They follow Leo.
+
+"Please give us our train back!" Mia says.
+
+"No, it's mine!" Leo says.
+
+He starts to cry. He does not have any friends. He does not know how to share. He is lonely.
+
+Sam and Mia feel sorry for Leo. They are kind. They have an idea.
+
+"Leo, do you want to play with us?" Sam says.
+
+"Really?" Leo says.
+
+"Yes, really. You can play with our trains. But you have to share. Sharing is fun. Sharing is generous." Mia says.
+
+Leo thinks about it. He nods. He gives the train back to Sam. He says sorry.
+
+"Sorry, Sam. Sorry, Mia. Can I play with you?" Leo says.
+
+"Of course you can. Come on, let's go to the station. Choo choo!" Sam says.
+
+"Choo choo!" Mia says.
+
+"Choo choo!" Leo says.
+
+They smile. They play with the trains. They are friends. They are happy.
+Anna liked to play dress-up with her dolls. She had many clothes and hats and shoes for them. She wanted to make them look impressive, like the people she saw on TV. She would put on different fashion shows with her dolls and pretend to be a judge.
+
+One day, she invited her friend Lily to play with her. Lily brought her own doll, too. They decided to have a fashion show with all their dolls. Anna went first. She picked a pink dress, a purple hat and a pair of yellow shoes for her doll. She said, "This is my doll, Rosie. She is wearing a beautiful dress and a hat with a flower. She is very impressive, don't you think?"
+
+Lily nodded. She liked Rosie's outfit, but she wanted to make her own doll look impressive, too. She picked a blue dress, a red scarf and a pair of green shoes for her doll. She said, "This is my doll, Daisy. She is wearing a nice dress and a scarf with stripes. She is very impressive, too, right?"
+
+Anna looked at Daisy's outfit. She did not like it very much. She thought the colors did not match. She said, "No, Daisy is not impressive. Her dress and her scarf and her shoes are all different colors. She looks silly, not impressive."
+
+Lily felt sad. She liked Daisy's outfit. She thought the colors were fun and bright. She said, "No, Daisy is not silly. She is impressive. She likes to wear different colors. She is not afraid to be different. She is brave and happy."
+
+Anna and Lily started to argue. They both thought their doll was more impressive than the other. They raised their voices and said mean things to each other. They did not want to play together anymore.
+
+Their moms heard them and came to see what was wrong. They saw the dolls and the clothes and the angry faces. They said, "Girls, girls, what is going on? Why are you fighting?"
+
+Anna and Lily told their moms what happened. They said they did not like each other's doll's fashion. They said they did not want to be friends anymore.
+
+Their moms shook their heads. They said, "Girls, girls, that is not nice. Fashion is not important. Fashion is just a way to express yourself. You can like different things and still be friends. You should not judge each other by what you wear. You should judge each other by what you do and say. You should be kind and respectful and supportive. That is what makes you impressive, not fashion."
+
+Anna and Lily listened to their moms. They felt sorry for what they said. They looked at each other and said, "We are sorry. We were mean. We do not care about fashion. We care about friendship. Can we still be friends?"
+
+Their moms smiled and hugged them. They said, "Of course you can. You are good girls. You are impressive girls. You are our girls."
+
+Anna and Lily hugged each other, too. They said, "We are friends. We are impressive friends. We are happy friends."
+
+They decided to play with their dolls again. They did not care about fashion anymore. They cared about fun. They mixed and matched the clothes and hats and shoes. They made their dolls look different and colorful and silly. They laughed and clapped and cheered. They remained friends. They remained impressive. They remained happy.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to pretend they were kings and queens. Lily was the queen and Ben was the king. They had a big castle made of boxes and blankets.
+
+One day, Lily said to Ben, "I want to order some food. I am hungry." Ben nodded and said, "Okay, I will order some food for you. What do you want?" Lily thought for a moment and said, "I want a sandwich and a juice."
+
+Ben went to the kitchen and asked his mom for a sandwich and a juice. His mom was busy and said, "Sure, honey, but be careful. Don't touch the bottle on the counter. It has poison in it. It is for the bugs in the garden. It can make you very sick."
+
+Ben was a good and obedient boy. He did not touch the bottle. He took the sandwich and the juice and went back to the garden. He gave them to Lily and said, "Here you go, my queen. Your food is ready."
+
+Lily smiled and said, "Thank you, my king. You are very kind." She took a bite of the sandwich and a sip of the juice. She made a face and said, "Yuck! This juice is bad. It tastes like poison."
+
+Ben was shocked and said, "Oh no! I'm sorry, Lily. I did not give you poison. I gave you juice. Maybe it is old. Let me see." He took the juice from Lily and looked at it. He saw a label on the bottle. It said, "Poison. Do not drink."
+
+Ben realized he had made a mistake. He had taken the wrong bottle from the kitchen. He had given Lily poison instead of juice. He felt very scared and sorry. He said, "Lily, I'm so sorry. I gave you poison by accident. We have to tell mom. She can help you."
+
+Lily felt sick and scared too. She said, "Okay, Ben. Let's go to mom. Hurry!" They ran to the house and told mom what happened. Mom was very worried and called the doctor. She gave Lily some water and hugged her.
+
+The doctor came and checked Lily. He said, "Don't worry, mom. Lily will be fine. She only had a little bit of poison. It is not very strong. It will not hurt her. She just needs to rest and drink lots of water."
+
+Mom was relieved and thanked the doctor. She said to Lily and Ben, "I'm glad you are okay, Lily. And I'm proud of you, Ben, for telling me the truth. You were very brave and obedient. But next time, please be more careful. Don't take anything from the kitchen without asking me first. Okay?"
+
+Lily and Ben nodded and said, "Okay, mom. We're sorry. We love you." Mom hugged them and said, "I love you too, my sweeties. Now, let's go back to the garden and play. But no more poison, okay?" Lily and Ben agreed and smiled. They went back to the garden and played. They were happy and safe.
+Lily and Ben liked to play in the park. They liked to swing, slide and climb. But one day, they saw a big sign on the gate. It said: "Park closed. Do not enter. Equipment broken."
+
+Lily and Ben were sad. They wanted to play in the park. They looked at the sign and the equipment. They saw some ropes, some planks and some nails. They had an idea.
+
+"Let's fix the equipment!" Lily said. "Then we can play in the park again."
+
+Ben nodded. He liked to fix things. He took some ropes and planks and nails. He followed Lily to the swing. The swing had a hole in the seat. Ben put a plank over the hole and tied it with ropes. He nailed the ropes to the plank. He made a new seat for the swing.
+
+Lily smiled. She went to the slide. The slide had a crack in the middle. Lily put a plank over the crack and tied it with ropes. She nailed the ropes to the plank. She made a new slide.
+
+They fixed the equipment. They were happy. They wanted to try the swing and the slide. But then they heard a voice.
+
+"Hey, what are you doing?" It was a man in a uniform. He was the park keeper. He looked angry.
+
+Lily and Ben were scared. They dropped the ropes and planks and nails. They ran to the gate.
+
+"We were fixing the equipment!" Lily said.
+
+"We wanted to play in the park!" Ben said.
+
+The park keeper shook his head. He pointed at the sign.
+
+"Can't you read?" he said. "The equipment is broken. You can't fix it. You can't play in the park. You could get hurt. You could break the equipment more. You have to stay out. You have to prevent more damage."
+
+Lily and Ben did not understand. They only wanted to help. They only wanted to have fun. They did not know what prevent or damage meant. They thought the equipment was ordinary. They thought the park keeper was mean.
+
+They ran away from the park. They looked for another place to play. They hoped to find a place with no signs, no uniforms and no big words.
+Sara and Tom were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They gave him a carrot nose and two coal eyes. They named him Bob.
+
+"Hello, Bob!" Sara said. "You are our new friend."
+
+"Yes, you are very nice," Tom said.
+
+They hugged Bob and ran around him. They were very happy.
+
+But then the sun came out. It was very bright and warm. The snow started to melt. Bob started to get smaller and smaller.
+
+"Oh no!" Sara said. "Bob is disappearing!"
+
+"Bob, don't go!" Tom said. "We love you!"
+
+They tried to save Bob. They put more snow on him. They moved him to a shady spot. They covered him with a blanket. But it was no use. Bob was too old. He turned into a puddle of water.
+
+Sara and Tom were very sad. They cried and said goodbye to Bob.
+
+"Bye, Bob," Sara said. "You were the best snowman ever."
+
+"Bye, Bob," Tom said. "We will always remember you."
+
+They held hands and walked back to their house. They hoped that it would snow again soon. They wanted to make another snowman. They wanted to make another friend.
+Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a dog. His name is Spot. Spot is loyal. He follows them everywhere.
+
+One day, they see a big house. It has a gate. The gate is shut. They want to see what is inside. They push the gate. It opens. They go in.
+
+The house is empty. There are no people. There are no toys. There are no books. There are only chairs and tables and lamps. Tom and Sue are bored. They want to go back to the park.
+
+But Spot is not bored. He smells something. He runs to the kitchen. He sees a cake. The cake is on the table. It is big and round and pink. It has candles. Spot likes cake. He jumps on the table. He eats the cake.
+
+Tom and Sue hear a noise. They go to the kitchen. They see Spot. He has cake on his face. He is happy. Tom and Sue are not happy. They are angry. They shout at Spot.
+
+"Bad dog! Bad dog! You ate the cake! That is not your cake! That is someone else's cake! They will be sad! They will be mad! We have to go! We have to run!"
+
+They grab Spot. They run to the gate. They want to leave. But the gate is shut. It is locked. They cannot open it. They are trapped.
+
+They hear a car. They see a family. They have balloons and presents. They are smiling. They are happy. They are the owners of the house. They are the owners of the cake. They see Tom and Sue and Spot. They are not smiling. They are not happy. They are angry.
+
+"Who are you? What are you doing here? How did you get in? Why did you eat our cake? That is our cake! It is our son's birthday! You ruined it! You are not welcome! You are in trouble!"
+
+Tom and Sue are scared. They are sorry. They cry. They say sorry.
+
+"We are sorry! We are sorry! We did not know! We were curious! We wanted to see! We did not mean to eat your cake! We did not eat your cake! Spot ate your cake! He is a bad dog! He is not loyal! He is greedy!"
+
+Spot is sad. He is sorry. He wags his tail. He licks their faces. He says sorry.
+
+"Woof! Woof! I am sorry! I am sorry! I did not know! I was hungry! I like cake! I am a good dog! I am loyal! I love you!"
+
+The family is surprised. They see Spot. He has cake on his face. He is cute. He is funny. They laugh. They are not angry. They are kind.
+
+"It is okay. It is okay. We forgive you. We forgive you all. You are welcome. You are welcome to stay. We have more cake. We have enough for everyone. We can share. We can be friends. Happy birthday, son!"
+
+The son is happy. He sees Tom and Sue and Spot. He likes them. He hugs them. He says thank you.
+
+"Thank you! Thank you! You are my friends! You are my guests! You are my present! You made my day! You are the best!"
+
+They all smile. They all hug. They all eat cake. They all have fun. They are happy. They are friends. The end.
+Anna is a daughter who likes to hop. She hops on the bed, on the sofa, on the rug. She hops so much that she makes a big mess. Her toys, her books, her clothes are all over the floor.
+
+"Anna, stop hopping!" her mom says. "Look at this messy room! You need to clean up your things!"
+
+But Anna does not want to clean up. She wants to hop some more. She hops out of the room and down the hall. She hops into the kitchen, where her dad is making lunch.
+
+"Hi, Anna!" her dad says. "Are you hungry?"
+
+Anna nods. She likes lunch. She hops to the table and sits on a chair. She sees a plate of sandwiches, a bowl of fruit, and a glass of milk.
+
+"Can I have a sandwich, please?" she asks.
+
+"Sure, here you go," her dad says. He gives her a sandwich and a napkin. "But be careful, don't make a mess."
+
+Anna takes a bite of her sandwich. It is yummy. She hops on her chair and says, "Thank you, dad!"
+
+But as she hops, she drops her sandwich on the floor. She also spills her milk on the table. She makes a big mess in the kitchen.
+
+"Anna, stop hopping!" her dad says. "Look at this messy table! You need to wipe up your spill!"
+
+But Anna does not want to wipe up. She wants to hop some more. She hops off the chair and out of the kitchen. She hops into the garden, where her dog is playing.
+
+"Hi, Anna!" her dog says. He wags his tail and licks her face. "Do you want to play?"
+
+Anna smiles. She likes to play. She hops with her dog on the grass, on the dirt, on the flowers. She hops so much that she makes a big mess. Her shoes, her dress, her hair are all dirty.
+
+"Anna, stop hopping!" her mom says. She comes out of the house and sees her daughter. "Look at this messy garden! You need to take a bath!"
+
+But Anna does not want to take a bath. She wants to hop some more. She hops away from her mom and says, "No, thank you!"
+
+But her mom is faster. She catches her and carries her to the bathroom. She puts her in the tub and turns on the water. She washes her with soap and shampoo. She makes her clean and shiny.
+
+"Anna, no more hopping!" her mom says. "You need to rest and nap!"
+
+But Anna does not want to rest and nap. She wants to hop some more. She hops out of the tub and says, "No, thank you!"
+
+But her mom is stronger. She wraps her in a towel and takes her to her room. She puts her on the bed and tucks her in. She kisses her and says, "I love you, Anna. But please, stop hopping!"
+
+Anna looks at her mom and says, "I love you, too, mom. But I like hopping!"
+
+Her mom smiles and says, "I know, Anna. But hopping is not good for everything. Sometimes you need to clean up, to eat, to wash, to rest. Hopping is good for fun, for exercise, for joy. But not for making a mess."
+
+Anna thinks about what her mom says. She says, "Okay, mom. I understand. I will hop less and do more. But can I hop a little bit more tomorrow?"
+
+Her mom nods and says, "Yes, Anna. You can hop a little bit more tomorrow. But only a little bit. And only after you do your chores."
+
+Anna agrees and says, "Okay, mom. Thank you, mom."
+
+She closes her eyes and falls asleep. She dreams of hopping with her dad, her dog, and her mom. She hops happily, but not messily. She is a good daughter who likes to hop.
+Ben loves to zoom around the park on his bike. He likes to pretend he is a police officer, and he wears a blue uniform with a badge and a hat. He also has a whistle and a flashlight on his bike.
+
+One day, he sees a little girl crying on a bench. She has a red balloon in her hand, but it is losing air and getting smaller. Ben stops his bike and goes to talk to her.
+
+"Hello, I am Officer Ben. Why are you sad?" he asks.
+
+The girl sniffles and points to her balloon. "My balloon is broken. It was big and round, but now it is small and wrinkly. I got it for my birthday, but it is going away."
+
+Ben feels sorry for the girl. He remembers how he felt when his balloon popped last week. He thinks of a way to make her feel better.
+
+"I have an idea. Do you want to ride on my bike with me? We can zoom around the park and have fun. You can hold your balloon and I can blow my whistle. Maybe your balloon will get bigger again."
+
+The girl smiles and nods. She wipes her tears and climbs on Ben's bike. Ben gives her his hat to wear and holds her balloon. He pedals fast and they zoom around the park. They see ducks, flowers, swings, and slides. They laugh and shout. The girl's balloon does not get bigger, but it does not get smaller either. She forgets to be sad and enjoys the ride.
+
+Ben is kind and shares his bike and his hat with the girl. The girl is happy and thanks Ben for his help. They become friends and play together. They zoom around the park until it is time to go home. They hug and say goodbye. They promise to meet again soon. They both have a good day.
+Lila and Ben were playing in the forest. They liked to find logs and pretend they were boats or cars or houses. They saw a big log near the river. It was attractive. It had many colors and shapes on it.
+
+"Let's go to the log!" Lila said. "Maybe we can ride it on the water."
+
+"OK!" Ben said. They ran to the log and climbed on it. It was fun. They pretended they were pirates and explorers.
+
+But then the log started to move. The water was pushing it. It was going away from the shore. Lila and Ben were scared. They did not know how to swim.
+
+"Help! Help!" they shouted. "We want to go back!"
+
+They saw their mom and dad on the shore. They heard them calling their names. They waved their arms and cried.
+
+"Mom! Dad! We are on the log! We are in the water! Help us!"
+
+Mom and dad saw them. They were worried. They ran to find a boat or a rope or something to help them. They prayed that Lila and Ben would be safe.
+
+"God, please help our children. Please keep them from harm. Please bring them back to us."
+
+They found a boat and paddled to the log. They reached Lila and Ben and pulled them into the boat. They hugged them and kissed them. They were so happy and relieved.
+
+"Thank you, God, for saving our children. Thank you for hearing our prayers."
+
+Lila and Ben were happy too. They were sorry for being silly and going on the log. They thanked God and their parents for helping them. They learned a lesson. They never played on logs near the water again.
+Lily liked to run in the park with her dog, Spot. Spot was a big, black dog with white spots. He was very fast and strong. Lily and Spot played fetch with a ball, and chased each other around the trees.
+
+One day, Lily and Spot saw a fancy lady in the park. She had a small, white dog with a pink bow on its head. The dog was wearing a dress and shoes. Lily thought the dog looked funny. Spot thought the dog looked tasty.
+
+"Hello, little girl," the fancy lady said. "What a nice dog you have. What is his name?"
+
+"His name is Spot," Lily said. "He is my best friend. What is your dog's name?"
+
+"My dog's name is Princess," the fancy lady said. "She is very precious and delicate. She doesn't like to run or get dirty."
+
+Spot barked at Princess. He wanted to play with her. Princess yapped at Spot. She was scared of him. The fancy lady picked up Princess and held her close.
+
+"Please keep your dog away from mine," the fancy lady said. "He might hurt her or ruin her outfit."
+
+Lily felt sad. She didn't want to make the fancy lady angry. She called Spot and put his leash on. She said goodbye to the fancy lady and Princess.
+
+"Come on, Spot," Lily said. "Let's go home. We don't need fancy dogs. We have each other."
+Sara and Ben were young and liked to play. They had a big box full of toys and books. One day, they decided to unpack the box and see what was inside.
+
+They opened the box and saw many things. They saw a ball, a doll, a car, a book, and a napkin. Sara liked the ball and the doll. Ben liked the car and the book. They took them out of the box and played with them.
+
+"Look, Sara, I can make the car go fast!" Ben said. He pushed the car on the floor and made a vroom sound.
+
+"Look, Ben, I can make the doll dance!" Sara said. She moved the doll's arms and legs and made a la-la sound.
+
+They played for a long time and had fun. They forgot about the napkin in the box. The napkin was white and soft. It was waiting for someone to use it.
+
+Then, Sara and Ben felt hungry. They went to the kitchen and asked their mom for a snack. Their mom gave them some cookies and milk. She also gave them each a napkin.
+
+"Here you go, Sara and Ben. Use the napkin to wipe your mouth and hands," their mom said.
+
+Sara and Ben thanked their mom and ate their snack. They used the napkin to wipe their mouth and hands. They noticed that the napkin was white and soft, just like the one in the box.
+
+"Hey, Sara, do you remember the napkin in the box?" Ben asked.
+
+"Yes, Ben, I do. Why?" Sara asked.
+
+"Maybe we can give it to someone who needs it. Maybe someone who has no napkin," Ben said.
+
+"That's a good idea, Ben. Who do you think needs it?" Sara asked.
+
+They thought for a while. Then, they had an idea.
+
+"Let's give it to Mr. Teddy. He is our friend and he always sleeps with us. Maybe he would like a napkin to keep him warm," Ben said.
+
+"OK, Ben, let's do that. Let's go and get the napkin from the box and give it to Mr. Teddy," Sara said.
+
+They finished their snack and went back to the box. They took the napkin out of the box and wrapped it around Mr. Teddy. Mr. Teddy looked happy and cozy.
+
+"Here you go, Mr. Teddy. This is a napkin for you. We hope you like it," Sara and Ben said.
+
+They hugged Mr. Teddy and put him on their bed. They felt happy and proud. They had unpacked the box and found a new use for the napkin. They had also made their friend happy.
+
+They smiled and said, "We love you, Mr. Teddy. Good night."
+
+They climbed into their bed and cuddled with Mr. Teddy. They closed their eyes and fell asleep. They had a good day.
+Lily liked to play with her hair. She had long, curly hair that she could make into different shapes. Sometimes she made a ponytail, sometimes she made a braid, sometimes she made a bun. She liked to look at herself in the mirror and say, "I have pretty hair."
+
+One day, her mom said, "Lily, it's time to go to the barber. Your hair is too long and it needs a cut." Lily did not want to go to the barber. She liked her hair the way it was. She said, "No, mom, I don't want to go. I want to keep my hair."
+
+Her mom said, "Lily, you have to go. The barber is nice and he will make your hair look good. And you can choose a sticker and a candy after the cut. Don't you like stickers and candy?"
+
+Lily thought about it. She did like stickers and candy. They were shiny and tasty. But she also liked her hair. She said, "Mom, can I have a little cut? I don't want to lose my curls."
+
+Her mom said, "Of course, Lily. You can have a little cut. The barber will only trim the ends of your hair. He will not take away your curls. He will make your hair healthy and shiny. You will still have pretty hair."
+
+Lily agreed to go to the barber. She held her mom's hand and walked to the shop. The barber smiled and said, "Hello, Lily. What a lovely hair you have. How do you want me to cut it?"
+
+Lily said, "Please, only a little cut. I value my curls."
+
+The barber said, "Don't worry, Lily. I value your curls too. I will only cut a little bit and make your hair look even more beautiful. You are a brave and smart girl."
+
+Lily sat on the chair and let the barber cut her hair. She watched in the mirror and saw that her curls were still there. She felt happy and proud. The barber gave her a sticker and a candy. She said, "Thank you, barber. You are nice and you did a good job. I like my hair."
+
+Her mom said, "You're welcome, Lily. I'm proud of you. You have pretty hair and a pretty heart." She hugged Lily and they went home. Lily ate her candy and put her sticker on her book. She looked at herself in the mirror and said, "I have pretty hair."
+Tim and Mia liked to play with blocks. They made towers and bridges and castles with the blocks. They had fun and shared the blocks.
+
+One day, Tim wanted to make a very big tower. He took all the blocks he could find and stacked them up. He did not share any blocks with Mia. Mia was sad and angry. She wanted some blocks too.
+
+"Tim, give me some blocks!" Mia said. "I want to play too!"
+
+"No, these are my blocks!" Tim said. "I am making a big tower!"
+
+Mia waited for Tim to share, but he did not. He kept stacking the blocks higher and higher. He did not see that his tower was wobbly and shaky. He did not see that Mia was very mad.
+
+Mia decided to make Tim share. She ran to his tower and pushed it hard. The tower fell down with a loud crash. The blocks flew everywhere. Tim and Mia both screamed.
+
+"Look what you did!" Tim said. "You ruined my tower! You are terrible!"
+
+"No, you are terrible!" Mia said. "You did not share the blocks! You were mean!"
+
+Tim and Mia started to cry. They were both upset and hurt. They did not want to play anymore.
+
+Mom heard the noise and came to see what happened. She saw the mess and the tears. She was not happy.
+
+"What is going on here?" Mom said. "Why are you fighting?"
+
+Tim and Mia told Mom what happened. They blamed each other for the tower and the blocks. Mom listened and shook her head.
+
+"That is not how we play," Mom said. "We share and we take turns. We do not push and we do not yell. We settle our problems with words, not with hands."
+
+Mom helped Tim and Mia pick up the blocks. She gave them each some blocks and told them to play nicely. She said they could make a new tower together, or make something else.
+
+Tim and Mia said they were sorry to each other. They hugged and said they were friends. They decided to make a new tower together. They shared the blocks and helped each other. They made a bigger and better tower than before. They were happy and proud.
+
+Mom smiled and said they did a good job. She said they were good kids. She gave them a kiss and a cookie. They thanked Mom and said they loved her. They ate the cookie and played with the tower. They had fun and shared the blocks.
+Sara liked to jog with her dad every morning. They would put on their shoes and go outside, where the air was fresh and the birds were singing. Sara felt happy and strong when she jogged with her dad.
+
+One day, as they were jogging, they saw a furry cat on the road. The cat was scared and hurt, and it made a loud noise. Sara and her dad stopped and looked at the cat. They saw that it had a cut on its leg, and it was bleeding.
+
+"Oh no, poor cat!" Sara said. "We need to help it!"
+
+"You're right, Sara, this is an emergency," her dad said. "We need to take the cat to the vet. The vet is a person who helps animals when they are sick or hurt."
+
+Sara and her dad carefully picked up the cat and wrapped it in a jacket. They jogged back to their house, where they had their car. They put the cat in the car and drove to the vet. Sara held the cat in her lap and talked to it softly.
+
+"Don't worry, cat, you will be okay," Sara said. "The vet will make you feel better. You are a brave and furry cat, and we are your friends."
+
+The cat looked at Sara with its big eyes and purred. It felt safe and warm with Sara and her dad. Sara smiled and hugged the cat. She was glad that they jogged that morning and found the cat. She hoped that the cat would find a good home and be happy.
+Tom and Lily were very excited. It was the first day of a new season. They saw snow outside their window. They wanted to play in the snow.
+
+They put on their warm clothes and boots. They ran outside with their old sled. Their mom and dad followed them. They found a big hill to slide down.
+
+"Ready, set, go!" Tom shouted. He and Lily sat on the sled and pushed off. They zoomed down the hill, laughing and screaming. The snow was cold and soft. They felt happy and free.
+
+They reached the bottom of the hill and got off the sled. They decided to make a snowman. They rolled big balls of snow and stacked them on top of each other. They gave the snowman a hat, a scarf, a carrot nose, and two buttons for eyes.
+
+"Hello, Mr. Snowman!" Lily said. "You are our new friend."
+
+The snowman smiled. He was happy to have Tom and Lily as his friends. He hoped they would come back and play with him again. He liked the new season.
+Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. They had a big yard with many trees and flowers. Sometimes they pretended they were in a forest, looking for animals and fairies.
+
+One day, their mom said they could go to the real forest with her. She said it was a huge forest, with many more trees and animals than their yard. Lily and Ben were very happy and excited. They put on their boots and coats and got in the car.
+
+When they got to the forest, their mom said they had to stay close to her and not run away. She said the forest was very big and they could get lost. Lily and Ben nodded and held their mom's hand. They walked along a path and saw many things. They saw birds and squirrels and deer. They saw mushrooms and berries and flowers. They heard the wind and the water and the leaves.
+
+"Look, mom, a rabbit!" Ben said, pointing to a brown furry thing.
+
+"Can we pet it?" Lily asked.
+
+"No, sweetie, we can't," their mom said. "We have to allow the animals to live in peace. They are wild and scared of people. We can look at them, but not touch them."
+
+Lily and Ben understood. They liked the animals and did not want to scare them. They kept walking and looking. They had a lot of fun in the huge forest. They thanked their mom for taking them there. They said they wanted to come back again. Their mom smiled and hugged them. She said they were very good and brave. She said she loved them very much.
+Lily liked to play with her guitar. She had a red guitar that made nice sounds when she strummed it. She liked to sing songs with her guitar and pretend she was a star.
+
+One day, her friend Ben came over to play. Ben saw Lily's guitar and wanted to try it. He asked Lily if he could play with it, but Lily said no. She did not want to share her guitar. She liked it too much.
+
+Ben felt envious of Lily's guitar. He wished he had a guitar too. He thought Lily was not a good friend for not letting him play. He decided to take the guitar when Lily was not looking. He grabbed the guitar and ran away.
+
+Lily saw Ben take her guitar and got angry. She chased after him and shouted, "Give me back my guitar! That's mine!" She caught up with Ben and tried to pull the guitar from his hands. Ben did not want to let go. He pinched Lily's arm hard.
+
+Lily cried out in pain. She let go of the guitar and rubbed her arm. She felt hurt and sad. She looked at Ben and said, "Why did you pinch me? That was mean!"
+
+Ben felt sorry for pinching Lily. He realized he was wrong to take her guitar. He gave the guitar back to Lily and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I pinched you because I was envious of your guitar. I wanted to play with it too. Can we be friends again?"
+
+Lily looked at Ben and saw that he was sincere. She forgave him and said, "It's okay, Ben. I'm sorry I did not share my guitar with you. You can play with it if you want. We can play together and sing songs. We can be friends again."
+
+Ben smiled and hugged Lily. He thanked her for sharing her guitar with him. They played together and sang songs. They had fun and forgot about the pinch. They were happy friends.
+Ben and Lily liked to play chess with their dad. He taught them how to move the pieces and how to say check and mate. Sometimes he let them win, but sometimes he was too smart and they lost.
+
+One day, Ben and Lily wanted to play chess with their dad, but he was busy on the phone. He told them to wait and be quiet. He put the chess board and the pieces on the table and went to another room.
+
+Ben and Lily did not listen. They were bored and curious. They wanted to play chess by themselves. They did not know the rules very well, but they tried to copy what their dad did. They moved the pieces around and made noises. They were careless and knocked over some pieces. They did not see that their dad's phone was on the table too.
+
+"Check!" Ben shouted, as he moved his queen. He did not see that he pushed the phone off the table. It fell on the floor and broke.
+
+"Uh-oh," Lily said, as she saw the phone. She was scared. She knew their dad would be angry.
+
+"What are you doing?" their dad said, as he came back to the room. He saw the mess on the table and the broken phone. He was very angry. He scolded Ben and Lily for being careless and not listening. He told them to go to their room and think about what they did.
+
+Ben and Lily felt sorry. They wished they had listened to their dad. They learned that chess was not a game to play without rules or care. They hoped their dad would forgive them and play chess with them again.
+Sara and Tom are twins. They like to play on the farm with their dog, Spot. One day, they see their dad gather oat from the field. He puts the oat in a big basket and takes it to the barn.
+
+"Can we help you, dad?" Sara asks.
+
+"Sure, you can help me feed the horses," dad says. "But be careful, they are very big and strong."
+
+Sara and Tom follow dad to the barn. They see four horses in their stalls. They are brown, black, white and gray. They have long hair and big teeth. Dad gives them some oat from the basket. The horses eat the oat and make happy noises.
+
+"Can we pet them, dad?" Tom asks.
+
+"Yes, you can, but only on their noses," dad says. "They like that. But don't touch their ears or their tails. They don't like that."
+
+Sara and Tom pet the horses on their noses. The horses are soft and warm. They nuzzle Sara and Tom with their noses. Sara and Tom giggle.
+
+"Time to go, kids," dad says. "It's getting dark and we have to go home."
+
+Sara and Tom say goodbye to the horses and follow dad to the house. They are sleepy and hungry. Mom has made soup and bread for dinner. They eat and drink and tell mom about the horses. Then they brush their teeth and go to bed. Spot sleeps with them on their rug. They dream of oat and horses.
+Sara and Ben like to play in the garden. They have a bottle with water and a spray. They spray the water on the flowers and the grass. They think it is fun.
+
+One day, they see a new flower in the garden. It is small and pink and has many petals. Sara says, "Look, Ben, a new flower! It is so pretty and delicate. Can we spray it with water?"
+
+Ben says, "I don't know, Sara. Maybe it is too delicate for water. Maybe it will break or fall."
+
+Sara says, "No, Ben, it will not break or fall. It will like the water. It will grow and be happy. Let me spray it, please."
+
+Ben says, "Okay, Sara, but be careful. Don't spray too much or too hard. Just a little bit."
+
+Sara nods and takes the bottle and the spray. She sprays the new flower with water. She sprays gently and softly. The new flower shines in the sun. It looks happy and beautiful.
+
+Sara and Ben smile and hug. They are happy too. They like the new flower. They like to play in the garden.
+Bella was a dog who lived on a farm. She liked to run and play with the other animals, but she had a problem. She had fleas. Fleas are tiny bugs that bite and make you itch. Bella hated fleas.
+
+One day, she saw a big truck on the road. It had a sign that said "Flea Doctor". Bella thought maybe the truck could help her. She ran to the fence and barked at the truck. "Hey, flea doctor, can you help me? I have fleas and they make me itch!"
+
+The truck stopped and a man got out. He was wearing a white coat and a hat. He had a big bag with him. He smiled at Bella and said "Hello, dog. I am the flea doctor. I can help you. I have a special spray that can send the fleas away. Do you want me to spray you?"
+
+Bella nodded and wagged her tail. She was happy that the flea doctor could help her. The man opened the gate and came to Bella. He took out a bottle from his bag and sprayed Bella all over. The spray smelled nice and felt cool. Bella felt the fleas leaving her fur. She felt much better.
+
+"Thank you, flea doctor. You are very nice. You made the fleas go away. Now I can run and play without itching." Bella said.
+
+"You are welcome, dog. I am glad you feel better. You have a nice farm and nice friends. Have fun and stay healthy." The man said. He put the bottle back in his bag and went to his truck. He waved at Bella and drove away.
+
+Bella ran back to the other animals. She told them about the flea doctor and how he helped her. They were happy for her. They played together in the sun. Bella was not gloomy anymore. She was happy and flea-free.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, they find a big chair in the living room. It is soft and blue and has a lot of pillows.
+
+"Wow, look at this chair!" Lily says. "It is so big and cozy. Can we sit on it?"
+
+"Yes, let's sit on it!" Ben says. "Maybe we can pretend it is a castle or a spaceship or a boat."
+
+They climb on the chair and make room for their toys. They have a teddy bear, a doll, a car and a ball. They start to make up stories and speak to their toys.
+
+"Hello, Mr. Bear," Lily says. "Do you want to be the king of the castle? You can wear this crown and sit on this pillow."
+
+"Hello, Ms. Doll," Ben says. "Do you want to be the astronaut of the spaceship? You can wear this helmet and hold this car."
+
+They have a lot of fun and laugh a lot. They are very happy on the big chair. They forget about everything else.
+
+"Hey, kids, time for lunch!" Mom says. She comes into the living room and sees them on the chair. She smiles and says, "You look like you are having a great time. What are you playing?"
+
+"We are playing castle and spaceship and boat," Lily says.
+
+"We are speaking to our toys," Ben says.
+
+"That sounds wonderful," Mom says. "But now you have to come down and eat. You can play again later."
+
+"OK, Mom," Lily and Ben say. They hug their toys and say goodbye. They slide down from the chair and follow Mom to the kitchen. They are still happy and hungry. They love the big chair.
+Tim and Lily liked to play with their toys in the kitchen. They had many toys, but their favorite ones were the dinosaurs. They had big dinosaurs and small dinosaurs, red dinosaurs and blue dinosaurs, but the best dinosaur was the green one. The green dinosaur was very friendly and liked to help Tim and Lily with their pretend cooking.
+
+One day, Tim and Lily decided to make a cake for their mom. They put some flour and sugar and eggs and milk in a big bowl. Then they took turns to stir the mix with a wooden spoon. The green dinosaur wanted to help too, so he climbed on the counter and held the spoon with his mouth.
+
+"Stir, stir, stir," said Tim.
+
+"Stir, stir, stir," said Lily.
+
+"Stir, stir, stir," said the green dinosaur.
+
+They stirred the mix until it was smooth and creamy. Then they poured it into a cake pan and put it in the oven. They set the timer and waited for the cake to bake.
+
+While they waited, they played with their other dinosaurs. They made them roar and jump and chase each other. They had a lot of fun, but they did not forget about the cake. When the timer beeped, they ran to the oven and put on their oven mitts. They carefully took out the cake and put it on a rack to cool.
+
+The cake smelled very good and looked very yummy. Tim and Lily and the green dinosaur were very proud of their work. They wanted to share it with their mom, so they decorated it with some frosting and sprinkles. They wrote "We love you, Mom" on the top with a squeeze bottle.
+
+Then they heard the door open. It was their mom, coming home from work. They ran to greet her and showed her their cake.
+
+"Wow, what a beautiful cake!" said their mom. "Did you make it by yourselves?"
+
+"Yes, we did," said Tim.
+
+"Yes, we did," said Lily.
+
+"Yes, we did," said the green dinosaur.
+
+Their mom hugged them and thanked them for the cake. She said it was the best cake ever. She cut a slice for each of them and one for the green dinosaur. They ate the cake and enjoyed it very much. They were very happy and so was their mom. The green dinosaur was the happiest of all, because he had helped his friends and made their mom smile.
+Lily and Ben were playing hide and seek in the park. Lily was the seeker and Ben was the hider. Ben ran to find a good spot to hide. He saw a big tree with a lot of leaves. He thought it was a perfect place to hide. He climbed up the tree and sat on a branch. He put his hat on his head and zipped his jacket. He hoped Lily would not see him.
+
+Lily counted to ten and then opened her eyes. She looked around the park and tried to find Ben. She saw the swings, the slide, the sandbox, and the bench. But she did not see Ben. She wondered where he was. She walked around the park and called his name. "Ben, where are you? I can't find you!"
+
+Ben heard Lily's voice and smiled. He was happy that he had a good hiding spot. He stayed very quiet and still. He did not want to make any noise or move any leaves. He thought he would win the game.
+
+But then, a bird flew by and saw Ben. The bird was curious and wanted to say hello. The bird landed on Ben's hat and pecked at it. Ben felt the bird and got scared. He yelled and shook his head. His hat fell off and his jacket unzipped. Lily heard Ben's yell and saw his hat and jacket. She ran to the tree and looked up. She saw Ben on the branch. She pointed at him and said, "I found you! I found you!"
+
+Ben climbed down the tree and picked up his hat and jacket. He was sad that he lost the game. He said to Lily, "How did you find me? I was hidden very well!"
+
+Lily said to Ben, "You were hidden very well, but the bird helped me. The bird saw your hat and jacket and made you yell. That's how I found you!"
+
+Ben looked at the bird and said, "Bad bird! You ruined my game!"
+
+Lily laughed and said, "Don't be mad at the bird. The bird was just friendly. Let's play again. This time, you can be the seeker and I can be the hider. Maybe you can find me!"
+
+Ben nodded and said, "OK, let's play again. But no more birds!"
+
+They smiled and hugged and ran to play again. They had fun playing hide and seek in the park.
+Tom and Mia were twins who liked to play with trains. They had a big box of tracks and cars and engines that they could build in different ways. One day, they decided to make a long train with all their engines and cars. They put them on the tracks and pushed a button to make them go.
+
+"Look, our train is so long and fast!" Tom said, feeling proud. "It can go around the whole room!"
+
+"Yes, it is!" Mia agreed. "But we have to be careful not to crash it."
+
+They watched their train go around the room, passing by the window, the door, the table, and the couch. They cheered and clapped when it made a loop or a bridge. They had so much fun with their train.
+
+But then, something happened. The train stopped in the middle of the tracks. Tom and Mia looked at each other, confused.
+
+"What's wrong?" Tom asked. "Why did it stop?"
+
+They ran to the train and saw that one of the cars had fallen off the tracks. It was a shiny car that looked like copper. They liked it because it was shiny and different from the other cars.
+
+"Oh no, our copper car!" Mia said. "It's broken!"
+
+She picked up the car and saw that one of the wheels had come off. She felt sad and angry.
+
+"Who did this?" she asked. "Who broke our copper car?"
+
+Tom looked at the car and saw something. He pointed to a small dent on the side of the car.
+
+"Look, Mia," he said. "There's a mark here. It looks like a bite."
+
+They looked around and saw their dog, Spot, lying on the rug. He was chewing on something. It was the wheel of the copper car.
+
+"Spot!" Tom and Mia shouted. "You bad dog! You broke our copper car! You delayed our train!"
+
+Spot looked up and wagged his tail. He did not know he had done something wrong. He thought the wheel was a toy for him.
+
+Tom and Mia were very mad at Spot. They took the wheel from him and tried to fix the car. But it was too hard. They could not put the wheel back on.
+
+They sighed and put the car aside. They decided to play with the rest of the train. They hoped their dad could fix the car later.

+They still loved their train, but they missed their copper car. They wished Spot had not broken it. They wished he had not delayed their train.
+Lila and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big bus. The bus has many colors and pictures on it. It says "Travel to the Farm".
+
+"Can we go on the bus?" Lila asks Ben.
+
+"I don't know. Let's ask Mom and Dad," Ben says.
+
+They run to their parents, who are sitting on a bench. They point to the bus and say, "Please, please, can we go on the bus?"
+
+Mom and Dad look at the bus and smile. They say, "OK, but only if you behave and listen to the driver. The bus will take you to the farm, where you can see animals and plants."
+
+Lila and Ben are very happy. They say, "Thank you, thank you!" They hug their parents and get on the bus. They find two seats near the window. They wave to their parents as the bus starts to move.
+
+The bus travels for a long time. Lila and Ben see many things on the way. They see houses, cars, trees, flowers, and birds. They also see cows, horses, sheep, and pigs. They say, "Wow, look at that!"
+
+Finally, the bus arrives at the farm. The driver says, "Welcome to the farm, kids. You can get off the bus and explore. But be careful and stay together. I will be here to take you back in an hour."
+
+Lila and Ben get off the bus and follow the driver. He shows them the barn, the chicken coop, the vegetable garden, and the orchard. He lets them touch and feed some of the animals. He also gives them a basket of fresh fruits and a jar of honey.
+
+Lila and Ben are very hungry. They find a shady spot under a big tree. They sit on a blanket and eat their snacks. They share some of their fruits with a friendly goat. The goat likes the oat. It says, "Baa, baa, thank you!"
+
+Lila and Ben laugh. They think the goat is funny. They say, "You're welcome, goat. You are very pretty and soft."
+
+They finish their snacks and play with the goat for a while. They also make a crown of flowers for the goat. They put it on its head and say, "You are the king of the farm, goat!"
+
+The goat says, "Baa, baa, I like you!"
+
+Lila and Ben like the goat too. They hug it and say, "We like you too, goat. You are our friend."
+
+They hear the driver call, "Time to go, kids. The bus is leaving soon."

+Lila and Ben say goodbye to the goat and the other animals. They get on the bus and wave to the driver. They say, "Thank you for taking us to the farm. It was fun!"
+
+The driver says, "You're welcome, kids. I'm glad you enjoyed it. You were very good and polite."
+
+Lila and Ben smile. They sit on their seats and look out the window. They see the farm get smaller and smaller. They say, "We had a great day. We learned a lot. We made a new friend. We love the farm!"
+
+They close their eyes and fall asleep. They dream of the farm and the goat. They are happy.
+Ben and Lily were playing in the woods. They liked to pretend they were animals. Ben was a lion and Lily was a deer. They ran and jumped and hid behind the trees.
+
+But then they heard a loud noise. It was a hunter. He had a big stick that made fire and smoke. He was looking for animals to hurt. He was very rude.
+
+"Run, Lily, run!" Ben said. "The hunter is coming!"
+
+Lily was scared. She followed Ben. They ran as fast as they could. They needed to find a safe place.
+
+They saw a cave. It was dark and quiet. They ran inside. They hoped the hunter would not see them.
+
+But the hunter saw them. He followed them. He pointed his stick at them. He was ready to shoot.
+
+But then he heard another noise. It was a real lion. It was angry. It did not like the hunter. It jumped on him and roared.
+
+The hunter dropped his stick. He screamed. He ran away.
+
+Ben and Lily were safe. They were happy. They thanked the lion.
+
+The lion nodded. It was not rude. It was kind. It liked Ben and Lily. It let them play in the woods.

+
+"Dad, help!" she cried. "The dog is wild!"
+
+Her dad heard her and ran to her. He picked her up and put her on his shoulder. He shouted at the dog and waved his arms. The dog stopped and ran away.
+
+"It's okay, Lily," her dad said. "You are safe. The dog was just playing. He didn't mean to scare you."
+
+Lily hugged her dad and smiled. She was glad he was there. She looked at her scooter. It was still red and shiny and had a bell.
+
+"Can we ride again, dad?" she asked.
+
+"Sure, Lily," her dad said. "But let's go to another part of the park. Maybe where there are no dogs."
+
+Lily nodded. She liked her scooter. She liked her dad. She liked the park. But she did not like wild dogs.

+
+Tom says, "I'm sorry, Mom, I wanted to see the mixer. It looked fun. But it hurt me. It hurt the mixer too." He looks at the broken mixer on the floor and feels sad.
+
+Mom says, "It's okay, Tom, I'm not mad at you. I'm glad you are not hurt badly. We can get a new mixer later. But now, let's finish the cookies. We can use a spoon to mix the dough. Do you want to help me?"
+
+Tom nods and says, "Yes, Mom, I want to help you. I like to bake cookies with you and Anna. But I don't like the mixer anymore. It is scary and mean." He holds Mom's hand and goes back to the bowl.

+"Look, I can make a hole with the stick!" Tom said.
+
+"Me too!" Lily said. "Let's see who can make the biggest hole!"
+
+They started to poke the ground harder and harder, but they did not see the sign that said "Do not poke the ground. It is bad for the plants and the animals."
+
+Soon, a man came and saw what they were doing. He was angry and shouted at them.
+
+"Hey, you two! Stop that right now! You are hurting the park and the country! That stick is sharp and dangerous! Give it to me!"
+
+Lily and Tom were scared and dropped the stick. They did not know why the man was angry. They thought they were just playing.
+
+"Sorry, mister," Tom said. "We did not mean to be bad."
+
+"Yeah, sorry," Lily said. "We did not know it was bad to poke the ground."
+
+The man calmed down and picked up the stick. He explained to them why they should not poke the ground with a sharp stick. He told them that the ground was home to many plants and animals that needed to be cared for. He also told them that the stick could hurt them or someone else if they were not careful.
+
+Lily and Tom listened and learned. They said sorry again and promised to be more gentle with the park and the country. They also promised to be more careful with sharp things.

+Sam did not listen. He liked the yellow cube. It was bright and shiny. He put it in his mouth and tried to bite it.
+

+Sam did not reply. He just smiled and made a funny noise. He liked to tease his big brother and sister. He grabbed another cube and threw it on the floor.
+
+Lily and Ben were angry and sad. They had worked hard to make their castle. Now it was ruined by Sam. They wanted to tell their mom, but she was busy in the kitchen. They did not know what to do.

+
+Sam liked the new cubes. He stopped throwing and biting them. He started to stack them up and make shapes too. He made a star, a heart, and a circle. He was happy and proud.

+
+Max was angry at first. He did not like that Lily took his sock. But he saw that she was sorry. He was a good friend. He forgave her.
+
+"It's OK, Lily. I forgive you. But don't do it again. Friends don't take things from each other. Friends share and lend and care. OK?" Max said.

+Ben cried. He did not like Sara being bossy. He did not want to go in the pool. He wanted Sara to leave him alone. He pushed her away and ran to their mom. "Mom, mom, Sara is being mean to me. She wants to make me go in the pool. I do not want to go in the pool. I am scared. Please help me, mom."
+
+Mom heard Ben and Sara. She saw them fighting. She was not happy. She went to them and hugged Ben. She looked at Sara and said, "Sara, you cannot force Ben to go in the pool. He is not ready yet. He is smaller than you. He needs to feel safe and comfortable. You have to be patient and kind with him. You can teach him how to swim, but only if he wants to. You cannot be bossy with him. Do you understand?"
+
+Sara nodded. She felt sorry for Ben. She did not want to make him cry. She wanted to be a good sister. She said, "I am sorry, Ben. I was wrong. I will not be bossy with you. I will wait until you want to go in the pool. Maybe we can play with the ball on the grass instead. Do you want to play with me?"
+
+Ben smiled. He was happy that Sara was nice to him. He said, "Yes, I want to play with you. Thank you, Sara. Maybe one day I will go in the pool with you. But not today. Today we can play on the grass."
+
+Mom smiled too. She was proud of Sara and Ben. She said, "That is a good idea. You can play on the grass and have fun. Maybe later we can have some ice cream. How does that sound?"
+
+Sara and Ben cheered. They said, "Yes, yes, yes! We love ice cream. Thank you, mom. You are the best."
+
+They hugged mom and ran to the grass. They played with the ball and laughed. They were happy. They were friends.
+Lily was a princess who loved to wear her crown. She wore it every day, even when she played with her toys or ate her lunch. She liked how it sparkled and made her feel special.
+
+One day, she went to the park with her mom and dad. She was eager to go on the swings and the slide and the seesaw. She ran to the swings and sat on one. She asked her dad to push her high, high, high. She laughed and smiled as she felt the wind in her hair.
+
+But then, something bad happened. As she swung up and down, her crown slipped from her head. She did not notice at first, but then she saw it fall to the ground. She cried out, "My crown! My crown!" She wanted to jump off the swing and get it, but her dad told her to wait.
+
+He stopped the swing and helped her down. He picked up the crown and dusted it off. He checked it for any damage and smiled. He said, "Don't worry, Lily. Your crown is fine. It's just a little dirty. Here, let me put it back on your head."
+
+He placed the crown on her head and kissed her cheek. He said, "You are still my princess, Lily. And I love you very much." Lily hugged him and said, "Thank you, daddy. I love you too." She felt happy again. She still wanted to play, but she decided to hold her crown with one hand. She did not want to drop it again.
+Tom likes to help his dad with the tools. He has a small hammer, a screwdriver and a saw. He pretends to fix things in the garden. He feels very busy and happy.
+
+One day, he sees a big bird on the fence. It is red and blue and has a long tail. Tom thinks it is pretty and wants to play with it. He runs to the fence with his hammer and tries to hit the bird.
+
+The bird is scared and flies away. It makes a loud noise. Tom's dad hears the noise and comes to see what is wrong. He sees Tom with the hammer and the bird flying away. He is angry and shouts at Tom.
+
+"Tom, what are you doing? You can't hit the bird with the hammer! That is not nice! You could hurt the bird and yourself! Put the hammer down and come here!"
+
+Tom feels sad and sorry. He drops the hammer and goes to his dad. He says he is sorry and he just wanted to play with the bird. His dad hugs him and says he forgives him. He tells him that birds are not toys and he should be gentle with them. He shows him how to make a bird feeder with some seeds and a bottle. He says they can hang it on the tree and watch the birds come and eat.
+
+Tom likes the idea and helps his dad with the bird feeder. He learns a new word: "feeder". He hopes the red and blue bird will come back and be his friend. He says he will not hit it with the hammer again. He says he loves his dad and the tools. He feels busy and happy again.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big pile of leaves. They wanted to jump in it.
+
+"Let's go!" Tom said. He ran to the pile and jumped in. He laughed and threw leaves in the air.
+
+"Wait for me!" Lily said. She ran after Tom and jumped in too. She smiled and made a leaf hat.
+
+But then they heard a loud voice. It was the gardener. He was angry. He had worked hard to rake the leaves. He did not like Tom and Lily messing them up.
+
+"Hey, you kids! Get out of there!" he shouted. He walked to the pile and waved his rake.
+
+Tom and Lily were scared. They tried to get out of the pile. But they were stuck. The leaves were too many and too heavy. They struggled to move.
+
+"Help!" Tom cried. "Help!" Lily cried.
+
+The gardener saw them. He stopped shouting. He felt sorry for them. He put down his rake and helped them out.
+
+"Are you okay?" he asked.
+
+"Yes, thank you," Tom said.
+
+"Sorry for the leaves," Lily said.
+
+The gardener smiled. He was not angry anymore. He understood they were just having fun.
+
+"It's okay," he said. "But next time, please ask before you jump in."
+
+"Okay," Tom and Lily said. They nodded and ran to their mom. They told her what happened. She hugged them and thanked the gardener.
+
+The gardener went back to his rake. He had more work to do. But he did not mind. He was glad Tom and Lily were safe. He hoped they would come back and play again. But not in his leaves.
+Tom and Mia liked to ride the subway with their mom. They saw many things on the subway, like people, dogs, and big signs. Sometimes they heard loud noises or funny music. They always had fun on the subway.
+
+One day, they saw a man with a big hat and a long coat. He had a big bag with him. Tom and Mia were curious. What was in the bag? They wanted to know. They decided to discuss it with each other.
+
+"Maybe he has a cake in the bag," Tom said. "A big, yummy cake with frosting and sprinkles."
+
+"Or maybe he has a toy in the bag," Mia said. "A big, shiny toy with wheels and lights."
+
+They kept guessing what was in the bag. They whispered and giggled. They did not notice that the man heard them. He was not happy. He thought they were nosy. He turned around and looked at them.
+
+"Hey, kids, mind your own business," he said. "What's in the bag is none of your concern. It's a surprise for someone special."
+
+Tom and Mia felt scared. They stopped talking. They hugged their mom. They learned a lesson. They should not be nosy about other people's things. They should respect their privacy. They should only discuss what they see and hear with their mom. She would tell them if it was okay to ask or not. They still liked to ride the subway, but they were more careful and polite.
+Tom and Lily were friends who liked to play in the garden. They saw many flowers, but their favorite was the sunflower. The sunflower was big and yellow and smiled at the sun.
+
+One day, Tom had an idea. He wanted to attach a sunflower to his hat. He thought it would make him look funny and cool. He picked a sunflower and used a string to tie it to his hat. He showed it to Lily and said, "Look at me! I have a sunflower hat!"
+
+Lily did not like Tom's idea. She thought it was mean to pick the sunflower and take it away from the garden. She said, "Tom, that is not nice. The sunflower is happy in the garden. It needs the sun and the water and the soil. If you attach it to your hat, it will die. You should put it back where it belongs."
+
+Tom did not listen to Lily. He said, "No, I like my sunflower hat. It is fun and different. I don't want to be normal like you." He ran away from Lily and went to show his hat to other kids.
+
+But the other kids did not like Tom's hat either. They said, "Tom, that is silly and rude. You are hurting the sunflower and the garden. You should be normal and respect the nature. You should take off your hat and say sorry to the sunflower."
+
+Tom felt sad and ashamed. He realized that Lily and the other kids were right. He had made a mistake. He took off his hat and went back to the garden. He found the sunflower he had picked and said, "I'm sorry, sunflower. I was wrong to attach you to my hat. You are beautiful and happy in the garden. I will never do that again." He put the sunflower back in the soil and gave it some water.
+
+The sunflower smiled at Tom and said, "Thank you, Tom. I forgive you. You are a good friend. You learned a lesson today. It is better to be normal and kind than to be funny and mean."
+
+Tom smiled back at the sunflower and said, "You're welcome, sunflower. You are a good friend too. You taught me a lesson today. I will always be normal and kind to you and the other flowers."
+
+Tom and Lily hugged and played in the garden. They enjoyed the sun and the flowers. They were happy and normal.
+Tom and Jen are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big slide. They want to go on the slide. They run to the slide.
+
+But there is a sign. The sign says: "Only one kid at a time. Wait your turn." This is the law of the slide. Tom and Jen do not read the sign. They do not care about the law. They are too excited.
+
+They climb up the slide together. They push and shove. They want to be the first. They do not see the other kid. The other kid is at the top of the slide. The other kid is waiting his turn. He follows the law.
+
+Tom and Jen arrive at the top of the slide. They bump into the other kid. The other kid falls off the slide. He hurts his head. He cries. Tom and Jen are scared. They slide down fast. They run away.
+
+The other kid's mom comes. She sees her son. She sees the sign. She sees Tom and Jen. She is angry. She calls the park guard. The park guard catches Tom and Jen. He tells them they broke the law. He tells them they hurt the other kid. He tells them they are bad. He tells them they have to say sorry. He tells them they have to go home.
+
+Tom and Jen are sad. They wish they had read the sign. They wish they had cared about the law. They wish they had waited their turn. They wish they had not hurt the other kid. They learn a lesson. They learn to follow the law. They learn to be nice. They learn to share. They say sorry to the other kid. They say sorry to the other kid's mom. They say sorry to the park guard. They go home with their moms. They do not play in the park for a long time.

+
+He opened the present. It was a long train with many cars. It had red, blue, green and yellow colors. It had a whistle and a smoke. Tom loved trains. He was very excited.
+

+
+One day, she goes to the park with her mom. She wears her green hat. She sees a boy who is sad. He has no hat. He is cold. Lily feels sorry for him.
+
+She goes to the boy and says, "Hi, I am Lily. Do you want to play with me?" The boy nods. He says, "Hi, I am Ben. I like your hat. It is nice and warm."
+
+Lily smiles. She says, "Thank you. Do you want to wear my hat? I have more hats in my case. You can choose one." She opens her case and shows him her hats.
+
+Ben is surprised. He says, "Wow, you have so many hats. You are very generous. Can I wear your red hat? It is my favorite color." Lily says, "Of course. Here you go." She gives him her red hat and puts on her blue hat.

+
+"Come on, Mia, let's go on the slide. It looks cool!" Sam said.
+
+"No, Sam, it's too scary. I don't want to go on it. You go if you want to." Mia said.
+
+Sam thought for a moment. He wanted to show Mia that he was brave. He also wanted to have fun. He decided to go on the slide.
+
+"I dare you to go on the slide with me, Mia. If you don't, you are a chicken." Sam said.
+
+Mia felt hurt. She didn't like being called a chicken. She also didn't like being dared. She wanted to be a good friend to Sam. She decided to go on the slide with him.
+
+"Fine, Sam, I'll go on the slide with you. But don't call me a chicken again. That's not nice." Mia said.
+
+Sam and Mia climbed up the ladder. They reached the top of the slide. They looked down. It was very high and steep. Sam felt excited. Mia felt nervous.
+
+"Ready, Mia? Let's go!" Sam said.
+
+Sam and Mia slid down the slide. They went very fast. They felt the wind in their hair. They felt the thrill in their stomachs. They reached the bottom of the slide. They laughed and cheered.
+
+"We did it, Mia! We did it! That was awesome!" Sam said.
+
+"We did it, Sam! We did it! That was cool!" Mia said.
+
+Sam and Mia hugged each other. They felt happy and proud. They had a victory. They had faced their fear. They had been brave.

+
+The dog tilted his head and looked at Sara. He did not know his name. He had no owner. He had been wandering the streets for a long time. He was lonely, too.
+
+Sara thought for a moment. She wanted to give him a name. A name that would make him happy.
+

+Lila and Ben like to play in the garden. They have a toy gun that can shoot water. They fill it up from the tap and run around, shooting water at each other and at the plants. They laugh and scream and have fun.
+
+One day, they see a big pile of soil in the corner of the garden. It is dark and soft and looks like a good place to play. They run over to the pile and start to dig and make shapes with the soil. They make a castle and a tunnel and a hill.
+
+But then, Ben has an idea. He picks up the toy gun and shoots water at the soil. The water makes the soil wet and sticky. He shoots more and more water, until the soil becomes mud. He thinks it is funny and tries to shoot Lila with the mud.
+
+Lila does not like it. She does not want to get dirty and wet. She tells Ben to stop, but he does not listen. He shoots more and more mud at her, until she is covered in brown. She feels cold and sad and angry.
+
+She picks up a thin stick and throws it at Ben. The stick hits him on the head and makes him cry. He drops the toy gun and runs to the house. Lila runs after him, feeling sorry and scared. They both want their mom to hug them and make them feel better.
+Ben and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. Ben had a bow and arrow, and Lily had a doll and a tea set. Ben wanted to shoot his arrow at Lily's doll, but Lily said no.
+
+"Please, Lily, let me shoot your doll. It will be fun!" Ben begged.
+
+"No, Ben, you will hurt her. She is my friend. Go shoot something else!" Lily said.
+
+Ben was angry. He did not want to shoot something else. He wanted to shoot Lily's doll. He waited until Lily was not looking, and then he aimed his arrow at the doll. He pulled the string and let go.
+
+But something strange happened. The arrow did not fly straight. It flew in a circle and came back to Ben. It hit him on the chest and made him feel funny. He looked down and saw that he was getting smaller and smaller. He was shrinking!
+
+"Help! Help!" Ben shouted. But his voice was very quiet. Lily could not hear him. She was busy pouring tea for her doll.
+
+Ben was scared. He did not know what to do. He tried to run, but he was too small. He saw a big cat coming towards him. The cat looked hungry. It saw Ben and licked its lips.
+
+"Meow!" The cat said.
+
+"Help! Help!" Ben said again. But no one heard him. The cat opened its mouth and was about to eat him.
+
+Then, Lily saw what was happening. She saw the cat and the tiny Ben. She dropped her tea cup and ran to save him. She grabbed the cat by the tail and pulled it away. She picked up Ben and held him in her hand.
+
+"Ben, what happened to you? You are so small!" Lily said.
+
+"I don't know. I shot your doll with my arrow, and then it came back and hit me. I'm sorry, Lily. I was mean to you. Please, make me big again!" Ben said.
+
+Lily felt sorry for Ben. She saw the arrow on the floor. It had a magic sticker on it. It said: "Shrink me. Reverse me." She had an idea. She put the arrow on Ben's chest and said: "Reverse me. Grow me."
+
+Ben felt funny again. He started to grow bigger and bigger. He was back to his normal size. He hugged Lily and said: "Thank you, Lily. You are a good sister. I'm sorry I tried to shoot your doll. Can we be friends?"
+
+Lily smiled and said: "Yes, Ben. We can be friends. But don't shoot my doll again. Or I will shrink you again!"

+
+Sue is brave. She loves animals. She goes to the dog and says, "Hello, dog. You are cute. But this is Tim's ball. Can you give it back, please?" She tries to take the ball from the dog's mouth.
+
+The dog is persistent. He does not want to give up the ball. He growls and pulls the ball away from Sue. He thinks it is a game. He runs around the park with the ball.
+
+Tim and Sue are sad. They do not know how to get the ball back. They sit on a bench and watch the dog.
+
+Then, they see a man coming to the park. He has a leash and a treat. He calls the dog by his name. He says, "Rex, come here, boy. Good dog. Drop the ball. Here is a treat for you."
+
+The dog hears his name and sees the treat. He drops the ball and runs to the man. He wags his tail and licks the man's face. He is happy to see his owner.
+
+The man sees Tim and Sue. He says, "I'm sorry, kids. Rex loves to play with balls. He did not mean to take yours. He is a good dog, but he is very persistent. Here, you can have your ball back."
+
+He brings the ball to Tim and Sue. He smiles and says, "Thank you for being nice to Rex. He likes you. Do you want to pet him?"

+Sara liked to record her voice with her mom's phone. She would sing songs, tell jokes, and make funny noises. She would play them back and laugh. She thought it was magic.
+
+One day, she saw a big red button on the phone. She wondered what it did. She pressed it and heard a beep. She said, "Hello, hello, this is Sara. I am recording my voice. Do you like it?" She pressed the button again and heard another beep. She smiled and waited for the phone to talk back.
+
+But the phone did not talk back. Instead, it rang. Sara saw a name on the screen. It said, "Dad". She knew that was her mom's husband, who worked far away. She picked up the phone and said, "Hi, Dad!"
+
+"Hi, Sara!" a voice said. "Is Mom there?"
+
+"No, Mom is in the kitchen. She is making lunch. I am playing with her phone. I recorded my voice. Do you want to hear it?"
+
+"Sure, I want to hear it. But first, can you give the phone to Mom? I have something important to tell her."
+
+"Okay, Dad. But don't go away. I want to show you my record."
+
+Sara ran to the kitchen and gave the phone to her mom. She said, "Mom, Dad is on the phone. He wants to talk to you. But don't hang up. I have a record for him."
+
+Her mom took the phone and said, "Hello, honey. What's up?"
+
+Sara waited for her mom to finish talking. She hoped her dad would like her record. She did not know that her dad was going to tell her mom some bad news. He had lost his job and they had to move to a new place. He was very sad and worried. He did not know how to tell Sara that they were poor and had to leave their home. He wished he could hear her voice and hug her. He wished he could make her laugh. He wished he could touch her.

+
+They asked their moms if they could go to the factory, but their moms said no. The factory was not a place for children. It was dirty and dangerous. They could get hurt or lost. Tim and Sam were sad and angry. They wanted to go to the factory anyway. They waited until their moms were busy and sneaked out of the house.
+
+They ran to the factory and climbed over the fence. They saw many big trucks and machines. They were shiny and loud. Tim and Sam were happy and excited. They wanted to touch them and play with them. They ran around the factory and looked at everything.
+
+But they did not see the man who worked at the factory. The man was angry and mean. He did not like children. He saw Tim and Sam and shouted at them. He told them to go away. He said they were making a mess and breaking things. He chased them with a hose. He wanted to wash them away.
+
+Tim and Sam were scared and sorry. They tried to run away, but they did not know where to go. They got lost in the factory. They got wet and dirty. They got hurt by the trucks and machines. They cried and called for their moms. But their moms did not hear them. They were too far away.
+
+The man caught them and locked them in a room. He said they were bad children. He said he would call the police. He said they would never see their moms again. Tim and Sam were very sad and scared. They wished they had listened to their moms. They wished they had not gone to the factory. They wished they had not been envious of the trucks and machines. They wished they had stayed home and played with their cars.
+Lily and Ben were playing in their room. They liked to dress up and pretend to be different people. They had a big wardrobe with many clothes and hats and shoes. They opened the wardrobe and looked for something to wear.
+

+
+They laughed and ran around the room. They pretended to sail a ship and find treasure. They had a lot of fun.
+
+But then they heard a loud noise. It was their dad. He was angry. He came into the room and saw the mess. He saw the clothes and the hats and the shoes on the floor. He saw the sword and the belt and the scarf on the bed. He saw the dress and the hat and the feather on the chair.
+
+"What are you doing?" he shouted. "You made a big mess! You ruined the clothes! You are not pirates, you are naughty children!"
+
+He grabbed the sword and the belt and the scarf from Ben. He grabbed the dress and the hat and the feather from Lily. He threw them into the wardrobe and slammed the door. He said, "You are not allowed to play with these things! You have to prepare for dinner! Go and wash your hands and face!"
+
+He left the room and closed the door. Lily and Ben were sad. They felt sorry for making a mess. They felt scared of their dad. He was harsh. They did not want to play anymore. They went to the bathroom and washed their hands and face. They did not talk to each other. They did not smile. They did not have fun.
+Tom and Sue like to play in the park. They have a big sand box with many toys. They make castles and tunnels and bridges with the sand and the toys.

+
+They pull and tug and fight over the stone. They do not share. They do not yield. They are not nice to each other.
+
+A man sees them and comes to them. He is old and has a long beard. He wears a hat and a coat. He looks like an ancient wizard. He says, "Stop fighting, children. Do you know what this stone is?"
+
+Tom and Sue stop and look at him. They shake their heads. They do not know.
+
+The man says, "This stone is very special. It is a magic stone. It can grant one wish to whoever holds it. But only if you are kind and generous. If you are greedy and selfish, the stone will lose its magic and become dull and gray."
+
+Tom and Sue are amazed. They want to make a wish. They look at the stone and then at each other. They think for a moment.
+
+Then, Tom says, "Sue, you can have the stone. I am sorry for fighting with you. You are my friend."
+
+Sue smiles and says, "Thank you, Tom. You are very sweet. But I do not want the stone for myself. I want to share it with you. You are my friend, too."
+
+They hold the stone together and make a wish. They wish for more toys and more friends to play with in the park. The stone glows and sparkles. Their wish comes true.
+
+The man smiles and says, "Well done, children. You have learned a valuable lesson. Sharing is caring. And caring is magic. Now, go and have fun with your new toys and friends. And remember, be kind and generous to everyone."
+
+Tom and Sue hug the man and thank him. They run to the sand box and play with their new toys and friends. They are happy and grateful. They have learned to yield and share. They have learned to be magic.
+Tom and Sue were playing in the kitchen. They saw a big bottle of wine on the table. They wanted to try it.
+
+"Let's open it and drink some," Tom said.
+
+"OK, but be careful. It might be bad," Sue said.
+
+They opened the bottle and poured some wine into two cups. They took a sip and made a face.
+
+"Yuck! This is bad! It tastes like sour juice!" Tom said.
+
+"Let's pour it out and play with something else," Sue said.
+
+They poured the wine into the sink. But some of it spilled on the floor. It spread like a red stain.
+
+"Oh no! We made a mess! Mom will be mad!" Tom said.
+
+"Quick! Let's get a towel and clean it up!" Sue said.
+
+They ran to get a towel. But they were too late. Mom came into the kitchen and saw the wine on the floor.
+
+"What are you doing? Why did you open the wine? That was for dad's birthday!" Mom said.
+
+Tom and Sue looked at each other. They felt bad. They said sorry to mom.
+
+Mom was not happy. But she was not too mad. She knew they were curious. She told them to never touch the wine again. She gave them a hug and a kiss. She helped them clean the floor. She gave them some milk and cookies. She told them a story. They learned their lesson. They never opened the wine again.
+Tom and Sue were friends who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big barrel near the river. They wanted to see what was inside. They ran to the barrel and climbed on top of it.
+
+"Maybe there are toys or candy in here," Tom said. He opened the lid and looked inside. "Wow, there is water in here. It looks fun."
+
+He jumped into the barrel and splashed around. Sue watched him and laughed. "Can I join you?" she asked.
+
+"Sure, come on in," Tom said. He made room for Sue in the barrel. They both enjoyed the water and pretended to be fish.
+
+But they did not notice that the barrel was not stable. It started to roll towards the river. The water inside made it heavy and fast. Tom and Sue felt the barrel move and got scared.
+
+"Help, help!" they shouted. "We are going to fall into the river!"
+
+They tried to get out of the barrel, but it was too late. The barrel reached the edge of the river and fell in. The water was deep and strong. It carried the barrel away with Tom and Sue inside.
+
+No one heard their cries for help. No one came to rescue them. They were trapped in the barrel and could not breathe. They drowned in the water.
+
+It was a very sad day. Tom and Sue were great friends, but they made a bad choice. They should have never played with the barrel. They should have listened to their parents and stayed away from the river.
+Anna and Ben were twins who loved to play with their toys. They had a big box full of dolls, cars, blocks, and books. One cold day, they decided to make a cozy fort with their blankets and pillows near the fireplace. They lay down inside their fort and pretended they were camping in the woods.
+
+"Look, Anna, I have a flashlight!" Ben said, shining it on the wall. "We can see the animals at night."
+
+"Wow, that's cool, Ben!" Anna said, clapping her hands. "I have a compass. We can find our way back home."
+
+They took turns showing each other their toys and making up stories. They were having so much fun that they didn't notice their mom coming into the room.
+
+"Hello, my little campers!" Mom said, smiling. "Are you enjoying your adventure?"
+
+"Yes, Mom, we are!" Anna and Ben said, peeking out of their fort.
+
+Mom looked at the fireplace and saw that the fire was low. She added some more wood and stirred the flames. "It's getting dark outside, and it's very cold. You need to stay warm and safe, okay?"
+
+"Okay, Mom, we will!" Anna and Ben said, nodding.
+
+Mom kissed them on their heads and gave them each a hug. "You are such compassionate children. You always share your toys and help each other. I'm so proud of you."
+
+"Thank you, Mom. We love you!" Anna and Ben said, hugging her back.
+
+Mom left them to continue their play, but she stayed nearby, watching them with love. She was happy to see them so happy.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play outside in the sun. But today, the sun is very bright and hurts their eyes. They see their mom wearing sunglasses. Sunglasses are cool and dark. They cover your eyes and make you see better.
+
+"Mom, can we have sunglasses too?" Anna asks.
+
+"Sorry, sweeties, I only have one pair of sunglasses. And they are too big for you. You need to wait until we go to the store and buy some for you." Mom says.
+
+Anna and Ben are sad. They want sunglasses now. They look around and see a big tree. The tree has many leaves. The leaves are green and make shade. Anna has an idea.
+
+"Ben, come with me. I know how to make sunglasses." Anna says.
+
+She takes Ben to the tree and picks two big leaves. She makes a hole in each leaf with her finger. She puts the leaves on her eyes and smiles.
+
+"Look, Ben, I have sunglasses. They are amazing. They are green and soft and make the sun less bright." Anna says.
+
+Ben likes Anna's idea. He picks two leaves and makes holes too. He puts them on his eyes and laughs.
+
+"Wow, Anna, you are right. These are amazing sunglasses. They are fun and silly and make us look like frogs." Ben says.
+
+Anna and Ben run around the tree with their leaf sunglasses. They pretend to be frogs and croak. They have a lot of fun. Mom sees them and smiles. She thinks they are very clever and cute. She takes a picture of them with her phone.
+
+"Anna and Ben, you are the best. You don't need to buy sunglasses. You can make your own with leaves. You are very creative and happy." Mom says.
