He sees Sara and Ben and says, "Who are you? What are you doing here? This is my land, my gold, my valley! Go away, go away! You are not fit to be here! You are just kids!" + +He picks up a rock and throws it at Sara and Ben. He misses, but he scares them. They run away from the valley. They run back to the hill. They cry and hug each other. They say, "We are sorry, we are sorry. We did not mean to make trouble. We just wanted to play. We just wanted to see the valley. We just wanted to be friends." + +They look at the valley and see the man digging and laughing. They see the truck and the sign. They see the hole and the mess. They say, "We do not like that man. He is mean and greedy. He does not love the valley. He does not love anything." + +They go home and tell their parents what happened. Their parents are shocked and angry. They say, "That man is wrong and bad. He has no right to do that. He is breaking the law and hurting the nature. We will call the police and the park ranger. We will stop him and save the valley." + +They call the police and the park ranger. They come to the hill and the valley. They see the man and the truck. They see the hole and the mess. They say, "You are under arrest. You are trespassing and mining illegally. You are damaging the environment and endangering the wildlife. You have to stop and leave. You have to yield." + +They take the man and the truck away. They fill the hole and clean the mess. They plant new flowers and grass. They release new fish and animals. They say, "We are sorry, we are sorry. We did not know this was happening. We will protect the valley. We will make it pretty and nice again." + +They thank Sara and Ben for telling them. They say, "You are brave and smart. You are fit to be here. You are the true kings and queens of the valley. You can come and play anytime. You can enjoy and love the valley." + +Sara and Ben are happy and proud. They say, "Thank you, thank you. We are glad you are here. We are glad you care. We are glad you yield." + +They go back to the valley. They see the green grass, the colorful flowers, and the small stream. They see the crowns they made from flowers and leaves. They put them on and smile. They say, "We love this valley. It is our valley. It is the best valley." +Lila and Ben are playing with yarn. They like to make shapes and patterns with the colorful yarn. Lila has a flexible yarn that can bend and twist. Ben has a stiff yarn that can only go straight. + +"Look, I made a snake!" Lila says, holding up her flexible yarn. She makes it wiggle and hiss. + +"That's cool!" Ben says. "But can you make a square?" + +Lila thinks for a moment. She tries to bend her flexible yarn into a square, but it is too floppy. It looks like a circle. + +"No, I can't," she says. "Can you?" + +Ben smiles. He takes his stiff yarn and lays it on the floor. He turns it four times to make four sides. He has a square. + +"Yes, I can," he says. "See?" + +Lila claps her hands. She thinks Ben is very clever. + +"Wow, you can!" she says. "But can you make a star?" + +Ben frowns. He looks at his stiff yarn. He tries to turn it into a star, but it is too hard. It looks like a cross. + +"No, I can't," he says. "Can you?" + +Lila grins. She takes her flexible yarn and wraps it around her fingers. She turns it five times to make five points. She has a star. + +"Yes, I can," she says. "Look!" + +Ben gasps. He thinks Lila is very smart. + +"Wow, you can!" he says. "That's amazing!" + +They both laugh. They like to play with yarn. They like to make different things. They like to be flexible and stiff. They are friends. +Tom and Mia were playing in the sandbox. They had a spade, a bucket and some cups. They wanted to make a cake with sand and water. + +"Let's stir the sand and water in the bucket," said Tom. "Then we can put it in the cups and make a cake." + +"OK," said Mia. "But we need more water. The sand is too dry." + +Tom nodded. He ran to the tap and filled the bucket with water. He brought it back to the sandbox and poured some water into the sand. He picked up the spade and started to stir. + +"Look, the sand is wet now," he said. "It feels soft and sticky." + +Mia touched the sand with her hand. She smiled. She took a cup and filled it with the wet sand. She turned it over and tapped it. The sand came out in the shape of the cup. + +"Wow, it's like a cake," she said. "Let's make more." + +Tom and Mia made more cakes with the cups. They put them on a dull plate that they found in the sandbox. They pretended to eat them and share them with their toys. + +They had a lot of fun playing in the sandbox. They forgot about the time until they heard their mom calling them. + +"Tom, Mia, it's time to go inside," she said. "It's getting dark and cold. Come on, wash your hands and face." + +Tom and Mia put their spade, bucket and cups away. They ran to their mom and hugged her. + +"Mom, we made a cake with sand and water," they said. "Do you want some?" + +Their mom laughed. She kissed them and said, "No, thank you. I prefer a real cake. But I'm proud of you for being creative and playing nicely. Now let's go inside and have some dinner." +Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys. Sara has a fancy doll with a pink dress and long hair. Ben has a fast car with big wheels and a loud horn. + +One day, they are playing in the park. Sara makes her doll walk and talk. Ben makes his car zoom and beep. They are having fun. + +Then, Sara sees Ben's car. She likes it. She says, "Can I play with your car, Ben? It is so fast and loud." + +Ben sees Sara's doll. He likes it. He says, "Can I play with your doll, Sara? It is so fancy and pretty." + +They look at each other. They have an idea. They say, "Let's trade!" + +They trade their toys. Sara plays with the car. Ben plays with the doll. They are happy. + +They say, "Thank you for trading with me. You are a good friend." They hug and smile. They keep playing. They are having more fun. +Lily and Tom were playing on the porch with their toys. They liked to pretend they were pirates and explorers. Lily had a hat and a sword, and Tom had a map and a telescope. + +"Look, Lily, I found a treasure island!" Tom said, pointing with his telescope. "It has gold and jewels and a big castle!" + +"Wow, Tom, that sounds amazing!" Lily said, putting on her hat. "Let's go there and find the treasure!" + +They got on their bikes and rode down the street, pretending they were on a ship. They saw a big house with a fence and a garden. It looked like the castle on the map. + +"Tom, this is it! This is the treasure island!" Lily said, excited. "Let's go inside and see what we can find!" + +They parked their bikes by the fence and climbed over it. They ran towards the house, but they stopped when they heard a voice. + +"Hey, you two! What are you doing here?" It was a man who lived in the house. He was angry and had a dog with him. The dog barked and growled at Lily and Tom. + +"We're sorry, mister, we were just playing," Tom said, scared. "We thought this was a treasure island." + +"A treasure island? Don't be silly, this is my home," the man said. "You can't just come in here without asking. That's not honest." + +Lily and Tom felt bad. They knew they had done something wrong. They apologized to the man and his dog. + +"Please don't be mad at us, mister. We won't do it again," Lily said, softly. "We just wanted to have some fun." + +The man looked at them and sighed. He seemed less angry now. He saw that they were just kids with big imaginations. + +"Well, I guess you didn't mean any harm," he said. "But you have to be careful and respectful of other people's property. And you have to be honest and tell the truth." + +Lily and Tom nodded. They learned their lesson. They thanked the man and his dog and went back to their bikes. + +"Come on, Lily, let's go back to the porch," Tom said. "Maybe we can find another treasure island that's not someone's home." + +"OK, Tom, let's go," Lily said. "But next time, let's ask first." +Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park, draw pictures and read books. One day, they found a big book with scary stories. They opened the book and saw a picture of a ghost. + +"Look, a ghost!" Lily said. "It is white and has no legs. It can fly and make noises." + +Ben felt nervous. He did not like ghosts. He thought they were mean and scary. He wanted to close the book and play something else. + +"Lily, I don't want to read this book. It makes me feel bad. Can we play with the ball instead?" Ben said. + +Lily looked at Ben. She saw that he was nervous. She did not want to make him sad. She liked to read scary stories, but she liked Ben more. + +"Okay, Ben. We can play with the ball. But can we discuss the ghost later? I want to know more about it. Maybe it is not so scary. Maybe it is lonely and needs a friend." Lily said. + +Ben nodded. He was glad that Lily was nice to him. He did not mind discussing the ghost later, as long as they did not read the book. He hoped that the ghost was not real. + +They closed the book and put it away. They took the ball and ran to the park. They played and laughed and had fun. They forgot about the ghost for a while. +Anna and Ben are going to visit their grandma by train. They are very happy because they love grandma and the train. Mom helps them pack their bags with clothes, toys and books. She also packs some snacks for the trip. + +"Mom, can I have some of the spicy chips?" Ben asks. He likes spicy food a lot. + +"No, Ben, those are too spicy for you. You can have some of the crackers and cheese instead. And don't forget to drink some water," Mom says. + +"OK, Mom. But can I have some of the spicy chips when we get to grandma's house?" Ben asks. + +"Maybe, if grandma says yes. But you have to be careful not to eat too much, or you will get a tummy ache," Mom says. + +Anna and Ben finish packing their bags and put them by the door. They put on their coats and hats and wait for Dad to come home from work. They are very excited to go on the train. + +Soon, Dad arrives and they all get in the car. They drive to the train station and find their seats on the train. The train starts to move and they look out the window. They see houses, trees, cars and animals. They wave to the people and the animals. They also see the rails that the train runs on. They are shiny and long. + +"Look, Anna, the rails are like a big snake. They go up and down and left and right," Ben says. + +"Yes, Ben, they are. And the train is like a big worm. It follows the rails and makes a loud noise," Anna says. + +They giggle and play with their toys and books. They also eat some of the snacks that Mom packed for them. They are not hungry or bored. They are having fun on the train. They can't wait to see grandma and give her a big hug. They hope she has some spicy chips for Ben. +Ben and Lily were best friends. They liked to play with toys together. One day, they found a new toy in the park. It was a red car that could make noises and move by itself. + +"Wow, look at this toy!" Ben said. "It is so cool and fun!" + +"Can I play with it too?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, you can have a turn after me," Ben said. He pressed a button and the car started to beep and zoom around. + +Lily waited and waited, but Ben did not give her the toy. He kept playing with it and laughing. Lily felt sad and angry. + +"Ben, you said I could have a turn!" Lily said. "You are not being honest!" + +"Sorry, Lily, but this toy is too good to share," Ben said. "It is mine now. Go find another toy." + +Lily did not like what Ben said. She thought he was being mean and selfish. She decided to follow the car and try to get it back. + +She ran after the car, but it was too fast for her. She tripped and fell on the grass. She scraped her knee and it hurt. She started to cry. + +Ben heard Lily cry and stopped playing with the car. He looked at her and felt sorry. He realized he had been a bad friend. + +"Lily, are you okay?" Ben asked. He ran to her and helped her up. + +"No, I am not okay," Lily said. "You hurt my feelings and my knee. You did not keep your promise. You took the toy and did not share." + +Ben felt ashamed. He knew he had done wrong. He wanted to make up with Lily. + +"Lily, I am sorry," Ben said. "You are right. I was not honest. I was greedy and rude. I should have shared the toy with you. It is not mine. It belongs to someone else. We should return it to the park." + +Lily looked at Ben and saw that he was sincere. She decided to forgive him. + +"Ben, I accept your sorry," Lily said. "You are still my friend. But you have to be honest and fair from now on. Sharing is caring." + +Ben nodded and smiled. He gave Lily the toy and hugged her. + +"Thank you, Lily," Ben said. "You are a good friend. You are kind and honest. I will share with you from now on." + +They took the toy back to the park and left it where they found it. Then they played with their own toys and had fun. They learned a lesson about honesty and friendship. +Anna and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big tree with many leaves. They want to climb the tree and look for birds and squirrels. They hold hands and walk to the tree. + +But when they get close, they hear a loud meow. They look up and see a cat on a high branch. The cat is scared and cannot come down. Anna and Ben feel sorry for the cat. They want to help the cat. + +"Hello, cat!" Anna says. "Don't be afraid. We are here to help you. Can you jump to a lower branch?" + +The cat shakes its head. It is too high and the branch is too thin. It meows again. + +"Maybe we can find a ladder or a rope," Ben says. "We can put it on the tree and the cat can climb down." + +They look around, but they cannot find a ladder or a rope. They see a big hole in the ground. It is deep and dark. They wonder what is inside. + +"Maybe there is a ladder or a rope in the hole," Anna says. "Let's go and see." + +They run to the hole and look inside. But they cannot see anything. It is too deep and too dark. They hear a growl. It is a bear. The bear is angry and hungry. It wants to eat Anna and Ben. + +"Help! Help!" Anna and Ben scream. They are scared and cannot run away. The bear is big and fast. + +But then they hear another meow. It is the cat. The cat sees the bear and the children. The cat is brave and smart. It jumps from the branch and lands on the bear's head. It scratches the bear's eyes and ears. The bear is hurt and confused. It roars and runs away. + +Anna and Ben are safe. They hug the cat and thank it. The cat purrs and licks their faces. They are happy and proud. They have a new friend. + +They take the cat home and give it some milk and fish. They name it Hero. They love Hero and Hero loves them. They play and cuddle every day. They never go near the hole again. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play pretend. They have a theater in the backyard. It is a big box with a curtain. Lily and Ben make up stories and act them out. + +One day, Lily and Ben have a new friend. His name is Sam. Sam is deaf. He cannot hear. He uses his hands to talk. Lily and Ben want to play with Sam. But they do not know how to talk with him. + +"Hi, Sam. Do you want to play with us?" Lily says. She waves her hand. + +Sam smiles. He nods his head. He points to his ears and shakes his head. He makes a sign with his hands. + +"What does that mean?" Ben asks. + +"I don't know," Lily says. + +Sam sees that Lily and Ben are confused. He wants to help. He takes their hands and shows them how to make signs. He teaches them some words. He teaches them how to say hello, friend, play, and theater. + +"Wow, this is cool!" Ben says. He makes the sign for theater. + +"Yes, it is!" Lily says. She makes the sign for play. + +Sam is happy. He makes the sign for friend. He hugs Lily and Ben. + +Lily and Ben hug him back. They are happy too. They have a new friend. They have learned a new way to talk. They are ready to play pretend in the theater. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the hut. The hut is in the woods. It is old and brown. They have toys and books in the hut. + +One day, they meet a man in the woods. The man is old and gray. He has a stick and a dog. The dog is black and white. The man does not speak. He only makes noises. + +Tom and Mia are scared. They run to the hut. They lock the door. They hug each other. They hear the man and the dog outside. They knock on the door. They make noises. + +Tom and Mia do not open the door. They wait and wait. They hope the man and the dog go away. They are quiet. They do not speak. + +After a long time, they hear a voice. It is Mom. She is looking for them. She calls their names. She finds the hut. She sees the man and the dog. She smiles and waves. + +Tom and Mia open the door. They run to Mom. They tell her about the man and the dog. They are scared and sad. + +Mom hugs them. She tells them not to be scared and sad.

They are not scared and sad. They are brave and kind. +Lily loved animals very much. She wanted to be a veterinarian when she grew up. A veterinarian is a person who helps animals when they are sick or hurt. Lily had a lot of stuffed animals that she pretended were her patients. She had a bear, a bunny, a cat, a dog, and a monkey. + +One day, Lily decided to put on a show for her family. She dressed up in a white coat and a hat. She took her stuffed animals and a toy stethoscope to the living room. She said, "Hello, everyone. Welcome to Lily's veterinarian show. I will show you how I take care of my animals." + +Lily's family sat on the couch and watched. Lily picked up her bear and said, "This is Brownie. He has a sore throat. I will give him some honey and a hug." She put some honey on a spoon and fed it to the bear. Then she hugged him and said, "There, there. You will feel better soon." She put the bear on a pillow and said, "Next, I have my bunny. This is Fluffy. He has a broken leg. I will put a bandage on it and give him a carrot." She wrapped a bandage around the bunny's leg and gave him a carrot. She said, "Good boy. You are very brave." She put the bunny next to the bear and said, "Next, I have my cat. This is Snowy. She has a cold. I will give her some medicine and a warm blanket." She gave the cat a syringe of medicine and tucked her in a blanket. She said, "Don't worry. You will be fine." She put the cat next to the bunny and said, "Next, I have my dog. This is Spot. He has a flea. I will give him a bath and a bone." She took the dog to the bathroom and washed him with soap and water. She said, "Good boy. You are very clean." She gave him a bone and said, "Enjoy your treat." She put the dog next to the cat and said, "Last, I have my monkey. This is Coco. He has a banana peel stuck in his ear. I will use my tweezers and pull it out." She took the monkey and used her tweezers to remove the banana peel from his ear. She said, "There you go. You are all better." She gave him a banana and said, "You are very funny." + +Lily finished her show and said, "Thank you for watching. I hope you liked it. Please applaud for my animals. They are very good and brave." Lily's family clapped their hands and cheered. They said, "Lily, you are a great veterinarian. We are very proud of you. You are very smart and kind." Lily smiled and said, "Thank you. I love you and I love my animals." She hugged her stuffed animals and said, "You are my best friends." Lily was very happy. She had a lot of fun. She dreamed of being a real veterinarian one day. +Lily liked to draw in her notebook. She drew flowers, animals, and her family. She was very proud of her drawings and showed them to her mom and dad. They always said she was a very good artist. + +One day, Lily went to play with her friend Ben. Ben also liked to draw, but he did not have a notebook. He used old papers and crayons. Lily wanted to share her notebook with Ben, but she was afraid he would rip the pages or lose it. She loved her notebook very much. + +"Can I see your notebook?" Ben asked Lily. + +"Okay, but you have to be careful," Lily said. "This is my special notebook. Promise you won't hurt it." + +"I promise," Ben said. He took the notebook and looked at Lily's drawings. He liked them a lot. He wanted to draw something too. + +"Can I draw in your notebook?" Ben asked Lily. + +Lily felt uncomfortable. She did not want to say no, but she did not want to say yes either. She liked Ben, but she liked her notebook more. + +"Um, I don't know," Lily said. "Maybe you can draw on another paper." + +"But I don't have another paper," Ben said. "Please, Lily, let me draw in your notebook. I promise I will be gentle and give it back to you." + +Lily looked at Ben's face. He looked sad and hopeful. She did not want to make him unhappy. She thought for a moment. Then she made a decision. + +"Okay, Ben, you can draw in my notebook," Lily said. "But only on one page. And you have to use a pencil, not a crayon. And you have to give it back to me when you are done. Promise?" + +"I promise, Lily, I promise," Ben said. He smiled and hugged Lily. He took a pencil and started to draw in Lily's notebook. He drew a picture of Lily and him holding hands. He wrote their names under the picture. He was very careful and did not make any mistakes. + +When he finished, he showed the picture to Lily. Lily liked the picture. She thought it was very nice and sweet. She smiled and thanked Ben. + +"Here, Lily, this is your notebook," Ben said. He gave the notebook back to Lily.

They were good friends. +Lily and Sam are friends. They like to play together. One day, Lily has a new game. She says to Sam, "Do you want to play with me? I have a game with popcorn." + +Sam likes popcorn. He says, "Yes, please. What is the game?" + +Lily says, "The game is called honest popcorn. We take turns to ask each other questions. If you answer honest, you get a popcorn. If you lie, you get nothing." + +Sam thinks this sounds fun. He says, "OK, let's play. You go first." + +Lily asks, "Do you like my dress?" + +Sam looks at Lily's dress. It is pink and has flowers. Sam does not like pink or flowers. But he does not want to hurt Lily's feelings. He thinks for a moment. He decides to be honest. He says, "I do not like your dress. But I like you." + +Lily smiles. She says, "Thank you for being honest. You get a popcorn." She gives Sam a popcorn. Sam eats it. It is yummy. + +Sam asks, "Do you like my hat?" + +Lily looks at Sam's hat. It is blue and has a star. Lily likes blue and stars. She says, "I like your hat. It is pretty." + +Sam says, "Thank you. You are honest. You get a popcorn." He gives Lily a popcorn. Lily eats it. It is yummy. + +They play some more. They ask each other questions. They are honest. They share the popcorn. They have fun. They are happy. +Lila and Tom were playing with their dad's tools in the garage. They liked to pretend they were fixing things, like cars and bikes and robots. They found a big screw and a small screw, and they wondered what they could do with them. + +"Look, Tom, I have a big screw. It is shiny and hard. What do you have?" Lila asked. + +"I have a small screw. It is also shiny and hard. But mine is better, because it is smaller and cuter," Tom said. + +"No, mine is better, because it is bigger and stronger. Let me see yours," Lila said, and reached for Tom's screw. + +Tom did not want to give his screw to Lila. He liked his screw very much. He held it tight in his hand and said, "No, Lila, this is my screw. You have your own screw. Go away." + +Lila was angry. She wanted to see Tom's screw. She pulled his hand and tried to take his screw. Tom pulled back and shouted, "Stop, Lila, stop! You are hurting me!" + +They started to fight over the screw. They did not see their dad's glass vase on the shelf behind them. The vase was very pretty and very fragile. It had flowers and birds on it. Their dad loved the vase very much. He got it from his mom, who was in heaven. + +As they fought, they bumped into the shelf. The vase wobbled and fell. It hit the floor and broke into many pieces. It made a loud noise. Lila and Tom stopped fighting and looked at the vase. They were scared. They knew they did something very bad. + +Their dad heard the noise and came to the garage. He saw the broken vase and the screws in their hands. He was very sad and very angry. He said, "Lila, Tom, what have you done? You broke my vase! That was my mom's vase! It was very special and very fragile! How could you be so careless and so selfish? You should not play with my tools! You should not fight over a screw! You should be sorry and say sorry!" + +Lila and Tom felt very bad. They wanted to say sorry, but they were too afraid. They started to cry. They wished they did not play with the screws. They wished they did not break the vase. They wished they did not make their dad sad and angry. But it was too late. They did a very bad thing. And they could not fix it. +Tom and Lisa are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big truck with a sign that says "Beef for Sale". They are hungry and curious. + +"Can we have some beef?" Tom asks Lisa. + +"I don't know. Maybe we can request some from the man in the truck," Lisa says. + +They run to the truck and see a man with a hat and a knife. He is cutting some meat. + +"Hello, sir. Can we have some beef, please?" Tom requests in a modest voice. + +The man looks at them and smiles. He says, "Sure, kids. You can have some beef. But you have to pay me first." + +"How much?" Lisa asks. + +The man says, "One dollar for a small piece, two dollars for a big piece." + +Tom and Lisa look at each other. They don't have any money. They only have some toys and some candy. + +"Can we trade you something for the beef?" Tom asks. + +The man thinks for a moment. He says, "Well, I like toys and candy. What do you have?" + +Tom and Lisa show him their toys and candy. The man says, "Hmm, these are nice. But not enough for the beef. You need to give me something more." + +"Like what?" Lisa asks. + +The man says, "Like your hair. I can make a wig out of your hair. It will look nice on me." + +Tom and Lisa are scared. They don't want to give him their hair. They say, "No, thank you. We don't want the beef anymore. We want to go home." + +But the man says, "Too late. You already requested the beef. Now you have to pay. Come here, kids. Let me cut your hair." + +He grabs Tom and Lisa by their arms and pulls them to the truck. He takes his knife and starts to cut their hair. They scream and cry, but no one hears them. The man is too strong and too fast. He cuts off all their hair and puts it in a bag. Then he gives them each a small piece of beef and says, "Here you go. Enjoy your beef. And don't come back." + +Tom and Lisa run away from the truck. They are sad and scared. They have no hair and no toys and no candy. They only have a small piece of beef that they don't want to eat. They wish they never requested the beef from the man in the truck. They wish they never saw the sign. They wish they stayed in the park. They wish they were home. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She loved playing outside in the sunshine and picking flowers. One evening, she was playing outside with her toys when she noticed the sun was going down. + +Lily knew that when the sun goes down, it gets dark and scary. She didn't like the dark. But she also knew that her mommy would come outside and call her in for dinner. + +Just as Lily was about to go inside, she saw a big ice cream cone on the ground. It was so hot outside that the ice cream had started to melt. Lily was so happy! She picked up the ice cream and started to eat it. But then she heard her mommy calling her name. + +Lily knew she had to go inside, but she was so angry that she couldn't finish her ice cream. She put it down on the ground and went inside. Later that night, when she looked out the window, she saw that the ice cream had completely melted into a puddle. She knew she shouldn't have left it outside. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. One day, Lily and her mom went to the beach. They brought a big towel with them. The towel was blue and soft. + +When they got to the beach, Lily started to play in the sand. She built a big castle with her shovel and pail. Suddenly, the sky turned dark and the wind started to blow. + +Lily's mom said, "Oh no, it's going to rain! Let's go back to the car." They quickly packed up their things and started to run back to the car. But Lily realized she forgot the towel on the beach. + +She said to her mom, "Wait! We forgot the towel!" Her mom replied, "Don't worry, we can come back for it later. Let's go now before we get wet." They ran to the car and drove home. + +When they got home, Lily was sad because she loved the blue towel. Her mom saw that Lily was sad and said, "Don't worry, we can go back to the beach tomorrow and get the towel. It will be okay."

It had managed to cover the city in just a few minutes. + +But even though the jet had flown away from the rain, it was still a bit dangerous. So it slowly eased back down to the ground and landed safely. + +Whew, what a ride! The jet was glad to be on the ground, safe and dry. It had been a really wild and dangerous adventure! +Once there was a little girl named Alice. She was three years old and very curious! One day she was playing in the park and saw something on the ground. It was a small bug, and Alice was so glad she found it! She carefully picked it up to take it home. + +Alice named the bug Charlie and carried it carefully in her hands. But then something happened—Charlie got hurt! It started to make a sad noise and Alice knew that it was in pain. + +So she asked her dad to help. He put some ointment on Charlie to make him feel better and soon the bug was glad again. Alice was so happy she could help Charlie and take care of him. Now Alice and Charlie are the best of friends. +Once upon a time, there was a little boy. His eyes were big and he was very competitive. + +One day, he had an idea. He wanted to fold things into shapes like a bird or a boat. So, he went to get some paper and pair of scissors. + +First, he folded the paper like an airplane. It flew up high. He laughed and clapped his hands. + +Next, he folded the paper again. This time he made a boat. He put it in the water and watched it float. He was so proud of himself! + +Lastly, he folded the paper into a beautiful bird. He watched it fly away. + +The little boy was so happy that he had learned how to fold things. He was very competitive, so he was excited to show his friends and family. +Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Bob. He was very excited because he had just received his first puzzle. He took out all the pieces and put them together. It was a big puzzle and it took him a while, but he was determined. + +Suddenly, he heard a loud tearing sound. He looked across the room and saw his cat, who had jumped onto the table and was now playing with the pieces of the puzzle! Bob was very sad and wanted to cry. + +His mom saw what had happened and quickly ran over. She gave Bob a big hug and told him that it was ok. Then she asked Bob if he wanted her to help her put the puzzle back together. She worked hard to get the pieces back together. + +After a few minutes, the puzzle was finally finished! Bob was so happy and grateful that his mom was able to help him. He hugged his mom and thanked her. From that day on, he promised himself to keep his cat away from his puzzles! +Once upon a time, there was a naughty fox. He loved to play tricks on the other animals in the woods. One day, he decided to go on a wild adventure. He took off running and soon he couldn't see the other animals anymore. + +The fox kept running until he came to a pond. He stopped to take a drink and he saw something on the other side. It was a big duck. The fox guessed it was about 10 times his size. The duck had a long neck, so long that it could reach all the way across the pond. + +The fox thought the duck looked friendly, so he decided to say hello. He began to wag his tail and bark, but the duck just ignored him! The fox thought this was very naughty of the duck. He was angry, so he barked even louder. + +The duck gave in and paddled over to the fox. He said hello, and the fox replied. From then on the two became good friends, taking afternoon naps together and even joining the other animals in the woods. + +Guess what! They are still best friends today. +Once upon a time there was a good fisherman. Every day he went out to sea. He would throw his net in the water and wait for a fish to swim inside. + +One day the fisherman saw something strange in the water. It was a big box. He guessed it was from a boat but he had no idea how it got there! + +He took the box onto his boat, feeling excited to see what was inside. When he opened it, he found a letter inside with his name printed on it! He was so excited. + +The letter said it was a special mail, just for him. Inside was a fishing rod made of bright silver and green. He was so happy! From then on he used this amazing rod every day. + +He soon became the best fisherman in the village, as he always caught lots of fish. All his friends said he was so good! + +The End. +Once upon a time there was a smart cat. She loved to sing all day. She would meow and purr to the tune of her favorite songs. + +One day, while she was singing her usual songs, she heard a sound coming from outside her house. She listened closer and heard a tiny voice singing a song she'd never heard before. She wondered who was singing and quietly opened her door to investigate. + +Outside was a little 3 year old girl. She had a big smile on her face and was singing a playful tune. The smart cat was mesmerized by the small girl’s beautiful singing. She decided she wanted to be part of the song and jumped out the door to join her. + +The little girl was happy to have a new friend and welcomed the singing cat. Together they sang and laughed until the sun went down. They sang until the sky was dark and then said goodnight, until the next day. +Once upon a time, there was a gray bear. He liked to wrap things in his big, furry arms. One day, he saw a soft blanket laying on the ground. He grabbed it with his claws and wrapped it around himself. It felt so nice and cozy! + +The next day, the bear heard someone coming. It was a woman carrying a big, white box. Inside was a special rub. The gray bear watched as the woman rubbed the rub all over his fur. It tingled and made him feel so good. + +The bear smiled and said "thank you!" The woman laughed and said "You're welcome!" Then the bear grabbed the blanket and wrapped it around himself again. He felt so happy and content. + +The bear spent many days wrapping himself in the blanket and getting the special rub. He loved it and wouldn't trade it for anything! +Once upon a time, there was a girl who loved blueberries. She would go outside and search for blueberries in the garden. One day, she saw a pink blueberry! She was so excited, she couldn't believe it. The pink blueberry was so pretty! + +The girl wanted the blueberry, so she pushed her to one side to get it. But the pink blueberry was stuck in the ground. She pushed and pushed, but it wouldn't come out. Finally, she gave one big push and it flew out of the ground! + +The girl jumped for joy. She had found a pink blueberry! She quickly picked it up and put it in her pocket. With a smile on her face, she went off to enjoy her special treat. +Once upon a time, there was a curious fox. He was always exploring around, looking to see what he could find. + +One day, he saw a big, comfy bed in the middle of the forest. He crawled in and decided to take a nap. He snuggled up and fell asleep. + +While the fox was sleeping, a little bird flew over and noticed the sleeping fox. The bird chirped to the other birds and they were all super excited. They flew back to the fox and pecked him gently on the nose. + +The fox woke up with a start. He saw all the birds around him, but he wasn't scared. He was just as curious as before and wanted to learn more about them. The birds flew around and showed the fox different things in the forest. + +The fox stayed awake for a while, exploring and playing with the birds. Eventually, he got tired and the birds told him it was time for bed. The fox nodded and curled up in the bed again. + +This time he was so tired, he fell asleep right away. The birds said goodbye and fluttered away. The fox slept in the big, comfy bed for the rest of the night. +Once upon a time, there was a nice day. The sky was very clear, and the sun was shining brightly. + +A little boy named Brad wanted to use the day to play. He put his shoes on and raced outside. + +Brad had so much fun running around and playing. He ran around the trees, jumped over the rocks, and rolled in the grass. + +When he got tired, Brad lay down and looked up at the sky for a long time. He watched the clouds drift by, as the day slowly passed. + +At the end of the day, Brad was very tired. He came inside and had some dinner, then went to bed. + +The sky was still clear, and the moon and stars were shining brightly. Brad said goodnight to the night sky and drifted off to sleep. +Lily and Ben are playing dress-up. Lily puts on a pink dress and a shiny crown. Ben puts on a blue coat and a big hat.

They like to be polite and kind. + +Then they see a big box in the corner. It has a red ribbon on it. + +"What is that?" Lily asks. + +"Let's find out," Ben says. + +They run to the box and open it. Inside, they find a lot of toys and books and candy. They are very happy and excited. + +"Wow, look at all these things!" Lily says. + +"This is the best thing ever!"

"You are my perfect twins." + +The end. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big black dog. The dog is hard to see in the dark. It has shiny eyes and sharp teeth. + +"Look, a dog!" Anna says. "Can we go and pet it?" + +Ben is scared. He shakes his head. "No, no, no. That dog is not nice. It is big and black and hard. It might bite us. We should go away." + +Anna is not scared. She likes dogs. She thinks the dog is lonely and sad. She wants to make it happy. She walks to the dog and says, "Hello, dog. Do you want to play with us?" + +The dog growls. It does not want to play. It wants to be alone. It jumps at Anna and tries to bite her. Anna screams. Ben runs to help her. He picks up a stick and hits the dog. The dog yelps and runs away. + +Anna and Ben hug each other. They are glad they are safe. They decide to go home and tell their moms what happened. They agree that not all dogs are nice. They say, "We should be careful when we see a big black hard dog." +Tom and Lily are playing in the park. They see a red camera on a bench. Tom wants to take a picture with it. He runs to the bench and picks up the camera. + +"Look, Lily, a camera!" he says. "Let's take a picture of us!" + +Lily follows him and smiles. She likes cameras. She stands next to Tom and says, "Cheese!" + +But before Tom can press the button, a man comes running to the bench. He is angry. He yells, "Hey, that's my camera! Give it back!" + +Tom is scared. He drops the camera and runs away. Lily runs after him. The man picks up his camera and checks it. He sees a crack on the screen. He is sad. He says, "Oh no, my camera is broken!" + +He looks around and sees Tom and Lily hiding behind a tree. He walks towards them and says, "You two, come here! Why did you take my camera? Do you know how much it costs?" + +Tom and Lily are sorry. They did not know the camera belonged to someone. They did not mean to break it. They come out from behind the tree and say, "We're sorry, mister. We just wanted to take a picture. We didn't kick your camera. It fell when you shouted." + +The man sees their faces. They look sad and scared. He feels sorry for them. He says, "It's okay, kids. I know you didn't kick it. But you shouldn't take things that are not yours. You should always ask first. Do you understand?" + +Tom and Lily nod. They say, "Yes, mister. We understand. We're sorry." + +The man smiles. He says, "It's alright. I forgive you. Here, you can take a picture with my camera. But be careful, okay?" + +Tom and Lily smile. They say, "Thank you, mister. We'll be careful." + +They take a picture with the red camera. They look happy. The man looks happy too. He says, "There, that's a nice picture. You can keep it as a souvenir. But remember, next time, ask before you take something, okay?" + +Tom and Lily say, "Okay, mister. We will. Thank you." + +They wave goodbye to the man and run back to their parents. They show them the picture. They tell them the story. They say, "We learned a lesson today.

They keep it in their pocket. They say, "We like the park. We like cameras. We like pictures. We like the man. He was nice." +Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play music. Anna had a drum and Ben had a flute. They made a lot of noise, but they had fun. They had a rhythm that they followed when they played. + +One day, a new boy moved in next door. His name was Sam. He had a guitar and he wanted to play with Anna and Ben. They said yes and invited him to their backyard. They showed him their drum and flute and asked him to join their rhythm. + +But Sam did not listen. He played his guitar very loud and very fast. He did not follow their rhythm. He made his own rhythm that did not match theirs. He spoiled their music. + +Anna and Ben did not like that. They asked him to stop and play with them. They said, "Sam, you are selfish. You only play your guitar and you do not care about our drum and flute. You spoil our music. We do not want to play with you." + +Sam did not care. He said, "I do not like your drum and flute. They are boring and quiet. My guitar is better and louder. I do not need your rhythm. I have my own rhythm. You are silly and mean. I do not want to play with you either." + +He took his guitar and left. He went to his own backyard and played by himself. He was alone and unhappy. + +Anna and Ben looked at each other. They shrugged and smiled. They picked up their drum and flute and played together. They had their rhythm back. They were happy. +Lily and Sam are friends. They like to play outside. They play tag, hide and seek, and hopscotch. They have fun and get exercise. + +One day, a new girl comes to the park. Her name is Mia. She has long hair and a pink dress. She wants to play with Lily and Sam. + +"Can I play with you?" Mia asks. + +"Sure, you can play with us," Lily says. "We are playing tag. You can be it." + +"OK, I will be it," Mia says. She runs after Lily and Sam. But she is not very fast. Lily and Sam are faster. They run away from Mia. Mia gets tired and sad. + +"Stop, stop, this is not fair!" Mia says. "You are too fast for me. Let me catch you." + +Lily and Sam stop. They look at Mia. They see that she is tired and sad. + +"We are sorry, Mia," Lily says. "We did not mean to be unfair. We just like to run fast. It is fun and good exercise." + +"But it is not fun for me," Mia says. "I do not like to run fast. It makes me tired and sad. Can we play something else?" + +Lily and Sam think. They want to be nice to Mia. They want to include her in their games. + +"OK, Mia," Sam says. "We can play something else. What do you like to play?" + +"I like to play hopscotch," Mia says. "It is fun and easy. Do you know how to play hopscotch?" + +"Yes, we know how to play hopscotch," Lily says. "We can play hopscotch with you. Come on, let's go to the hopscotch grid." + +Lily, Sam, and Mia go to the hopscotch grid. They take turns to hop on the squares. They laugh and have fun. They are happy. They are friends. +Lily and Tom are playing in the living room. They have a big red ball that they like to bounce. They bounce the ball on the carpet, on the sofa, on the table. They laugh and giggle as the ball goes up and down. + +"Look, Lily, I can bounce the ball very high!" Tom says. He throws the ball with all his might. The ball bounces off the ceiling and lands on the lamp. The lamp falls over and makes a loud noise. + +"Oh no, Tom, you broke the lamp!" Lily says. She is scared. She thinks Mommy and Daddy will be angry. + +Tom is scared too. He does not want to get in trouble. He picks up the ball and runs to the corner. He hides behind the curtain.

She sees Tom holding the ball and making a funny face. He is trying to make her laugh. + +"Tom, you are so funny!" Lily says. She smiles and hugs him. "It's okay, Tom. We can tell Mommy and Daddy it was an accident. They will not be mad. They love us." + +Tom feels better. He smiles and hugs Lily back. "You are right, Lily. You are a good sister. I love you." + +They hold hands and walk to the living room. They see Mommy and Daddy coming in. They look at the lamp and the ball. They look at Lily and Tom. + +"What happened here?" Mommy asks. + +Lily and Tom tell them the truth. They say they are sorry. They say they were playing with the ball and it bounced too high. + +Mommy and Daddy are not angry. They are glad Lily and Tom are honest. They hug them and kiss them. They say they love them. + +They help them clean up the mess. They fix the lamp. They put the ball away. They say it is time for dinner. + +Lily and Tom are happy. They had fun playing with the ball. They learned to be careful and to say sorry. They have a nice family. They love Mommy and Daddy.

She also liked to eat lollipops, especially the ones that change color and flavor. + +One day, she went to the store with her mom and saw a big jar of lollipops. She asked her mom if she could have one. Her mom said yes, but only one. Lily looked at all the different colors and shapes of the lollipops. She wanted to try them all, but she had to choose one. + +She picked a lollipop that was red and yellow and had a star on it. She thought it would change to orange and lemon. She thanked her mom and unwrapped the lollipop. She licked it and smiled. It was sweet and sour, just like she guessed. + +She walked out of the store with her mom, holding her lollipop. She saw a boy who was crying. He had dropped his lollipop on the ground and it was dirty. Lily felt sorry for him. She decided to do something nice. + +She went to the boy and said, "Hi, I'm Lily. Do you want to share my lollipop? It changes color and flavor. It's very yummy." + +The boy looked at her and stopped crying. He said, "Hi, I'm Ben. Thank you, that's very kind of you. Can I have a lick?" + +Lily nodded and handed him her lollipop. He licked it and smiled. It was blue and raspberry. He said, "Wow, this is amazing. How does it do that?" + +Lily said, "I don't know, but it's fun. Do you want to be my friend?" + +Ben said, "Yes, I do. You are very smart and nice. Can I give you a hug?" + +Lily said, "Yes, you can. You are very sweet and brave. Can I give you a high five?" + +They hugged and high-fived and laughed. They took turns licking the lollipop, which changed to green and lime, then purple and grape, then pink and strawberry. They had a lot of fun and became good friends. They learned that sharing is caring and that lollipops are better when they change. +Ben loves his toy motorcycle. He likes to make it go fast and make loud noises. He plays with it every day in his room. Sometimes he rubs it with a cloth to make it shiny. + +One day, Ben sees a real motorcycle on the street. It is big and red and has a shiny helmet. Ben wants to touch it and see how it feels. He runs to the motorcycle and reaches out his hand. + +"Stop!" a voice says. Ben looks up and sees a man. The man is wearing the helmet and a leather jacket. He is the owner of the motorcycle. He looks angry. + +"What are you doing, kid?" the man asks. "You can't touch my motorcycle. It is not a toy. It is mine." + +Ben feels scared and sorry. He did not mean to make the man angry. He just wanted to see the motorcycle. + +"I'm sorry, sir," Ben says. "I like motorcycles. They are cool. I have a toy one in my room. I rub it with a cloth to make it shiny." + +The man looks at Ben and sees his innocent face. He feels less angry and more patient. He remembers that he was once a kid who liked motorcycles too. + +"I see," the man says. "Well, motorcycles are cool, but they are also dangerous. You have to be careful around them. You can't touch them without permission. They can hurt you or get damaged." + +Ben nods and understands. He does not want to get hurt or damage the motorcycle. + +"Can I look at it?" Ben asks. "From far away?" + +The man smiles and nods. He takes off his helmet and puts it on Ben's head. He lets Ben sit on the motorcycle and hold the handlebars. He tells Ben about the different parts of the motorcycle and how they work. + +Ben listens and learns. He feels happy and excited. He thanks the man for letting him see the motorcycle. + +"You're welcome, kid," the man says. "You have a good eye for motorcycles. Maybe when you grow up, you can have one of your own. But for now, stick to your toy one. And remember to rub it with a cloth to make it shiny." +Tom and Lily are playing in the park. They like to go on the swings and the slide. But today it is raining. The sky is gray and the grass is wet. + +"Let's go home," Tom says. "I don't like the rain. It makes me cold and wet." + +"No, let's stay," Lily says. "I like the rain. It makes the flowers grow and the birds sing." + +They start to argue. Tom says the rain is bad. Lily says the rain is good. They do not agree. + +A man is walking by. He has a big hat and a long coat. He looks like a judge. He hears Tom and Lily. + +"Hello, children," he says. "Why are you arguing?" + +Tom and Lily tell him about the rain. They want him to judge who is right. + +The man smiles. He says, "You are both right. The rain can be bad and good. It depends on how you look at it. Sometimes it can make you cold and wet, but sometimes it can make the flowers grow and the birds sing. The rain is a gift from God. He gives it to us for a reason. We should be thankful for it and enjoy it." + +Tom and Lily think about what the man says. They stop arguing. They say, "Thank you, sir. You are a wise judge." + +The man says, "You are welcome, children. Now, why don't you go and play in the rain? It can be fun, too.

Anna asks. + +"It is a cauliflower. My mom says it is good to eat," Ben says. + +"Can we pick it?" Anna asks. + +"Yes, but we have to count first. Mom says we have to count to ten before we pick anything," Ben says. + +They start to count. "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten!" They say together. + +They pull the cauliflower out of the ground. It is heavy and hard. + +"Wow, it is big!" Anna says. + +"It is bigger than your head!" Ben says. + +They laugh. They are cheerful.

It's mean. You made me scared. I don't like your toy toilet. Take it away." + +Ben feels sorry. He says, "I'm sorry, Anna. I didn't mean to make you scared. I just wanted to play a joke.

It's not a good place to play." + +Ben agrees. He says, "OK, Anna. I won't do it again. And I won't hide in the bathroom. Let's play somewhere else." + +They hug and go to play in the living room. They are twins. They like to play together in the house. +Anna and her mom went to the shop. Anna wanted a new toy. She saw a doll with a pink dress and long hair. She liked the doll very much. + +"Mom, can I have the doll, please?" Anna asked. + +Mom looked at the doll and the price tag. She shook her head. "No, Anna, we don't have enough money for the doll. Maybe another time." + +Anna felt sad. She really wanted the doll. She started to cry. She did not want to leave the shop without the doll. + +An elderly lady saw Anna crying. She felt sorry for her. She walked over to Anna and her mom. She smiled kindly. + +"Hello, dear. Why are you crying?" she asked. + +Anna pointed at the doll. "I want the doll, please. But mom says no." + +The lady looked at the doll and the mom. She nodded. "I see. Well, I have an idea. How about I buy the doll for you, and you give me a big hug and a thank you?" + +Anna's eyes widened. She could not believe it. She looked at her mom. Mom nodded. She said it was okay. + +Anna smiled. She was very happy. She gave the lady a big hug and a thank you. The lady handed her the doll. Anna hugged the doll too. + +"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" Anna said. + +"You're very welcome, dear. Enjoy your doll." The lady said. + +Anna and her mom waved goodbye to the lady. They left the shop. Anna was very happy. She had a new toy and a new friend. She learned that sometimes, people can be very kind. +Lily liked to play with her friends in the park. They had a lot of fun on the swings, the slide and the seesaw. Lily was popular because she was kind and shared her toys. + +One day, Lily saw a new trail in the park. It looked like a path to a secret place. She wanted to explore it, but her friends said no. They said it was too far and they had to go home soon. Lily did not listen. She said she would be back soon and ran to the trail. + +The trail was not a secret place. It was a trap. It led to a big hole with sharp rocks and thorns. Lily did not see the hole and fell in. She hurt her leg and cried for help. Her friends heard her and ran to the hole. They were scared and worried. They called for a grown-up to help. + +A grown-up came and pulled Lily out of the hole. He was angry and said Lily was naughty. He said she had to punish for not listening to her friends and going to the trail. He said she had to go home and stay in her room for an hour. Lily was sorry and said she would not do it again. + +Lily learned her lesson. She realized that the trail was not fun, but dangerous. She also realized that her friends were right and she should have stayed with them. She said sorry to her friends and thanked them for helping her. They hugged her and said they were still her friends. Lily was happy and promised to be more careful next time. +Lily and Tom are twins. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big train on the rail. The train is tall and loud. It has many cars and windows. + +"Wow, look at the train!" Tom says. He runs to the rail. He wants to see the train up close. + +"Tom, wait!" Lily says. She is scared. The rail is not for playing. The train is fast and strong. It can hurt Tom. She runs after him. + +Tom is at the rail. He sees the train coming. He hears the horn. He blinks. He is not scared. He thinks the train is fun. + +"Hi, train!" Tom says. He waves his hand. He smiles. + +Lily is at the rail too. She sees Tom waving. She is very scared. She grabs Tom's hand. She pulls him back. + +"Tom, no!" Lily says. She is angry and sad. She hugs Tom. She cries. + +"Sorry, Lily," Tom says. He is sorry. He did not know Lily was scared. He hugs Lily back. He says, "I love you, Lily." + +Lily and Tom are twins. They love each other. They learn to be careful. They do not play on the rail again. They watch the train from far away. They still think the train is fun. +Lily loved to skip. She skipped to school, she skipped in the park, she skipped at home. She liked to skip and sing a song. Her song was about the stars. She wanted to see the stars at night. + +One night, she asked her mom if she could skip outside and look at the stars. Her mom said yes, but only for a little while. It was cold and dark outside. Lily put on her coat and hat and ran outside. She skipped and sang her song. She looked up at the sky and saw many stars. They were bright and shiny. She smiled and waved at them. + +But then, she heard a loud noise. It was a dog. It was big and black and barked very loud. It ran towards Lily. Lily was scared. She stopped skipping and singing. She ran back to the house. She cried and called for her mom. + +Her mom heard her and opened the door. She saw the dog and shooed it away. She hugged Lily and brought her inside. She asked her what happened. Lily told her about the dog. She said she was worried that the dog would hurt her. She said she was sorry for running away. + +Her mom said it was okay. She said she was glad that Lily was safe. She said the dog was probably just curious and wanted to play. She said Lily did the right thing by running away. She said she was proud of Lily for being brave and smart. She said she loved Lily very much. + +She gave Lily a cup of warm milk and a cookie. She read her a story and tucked her in bed. She kissed her good night and turned off the light. She said she would see her in the morning. Lily said she loved her mom too. She said she was not worried anymore. She said she still liked to skip and sing and look at the stars. She closed her eyes and fell asleep. She dreamed of skipping and singing and waving at the stars. +Lily was sick. She had a sore throat and a hot head. Mommy said she had to take a pill to feel better. But Lily did not like pills. They were big and bitter and hard to swallow. + +"Please, Lily, try to take the pill. It will help you get well soon," Mommy said. She put the pill on a spoon with some honey and held it out to Lily. + +Lily shook her head and closed her mouth. She did not want the pill. She wanted to play with her toys and watch her favorite show. She did not want to lie in bed and feel bad. + +Mommy sighed and put the spoon down. She hugged Lily and said, "I know you don't like pills, but they are good for you. They make the germs go away and the pain stop. How about we make a deal? If you accept the pill, I will let you choose a great prize from the treasure box. You can have anything you want: a sticker, a candy, a toy, anything. What do you say?" + +Lily looked at the treasure box. It was full of shiny and colorful things. She loved the treasure box. She wondered what she would pick. Maybe a sparkly bracelet, or a yummy lollipop, or a cute teddy bear. She thought for a moment. Then she nodded and opened her mouth. She accepted the pill. + +Mommy smiled and gave Lily the spoon. Lily swallowed the pill quickly and made a face. It was still bitter, but not as bad as before. She drank some water and felt a little better. Mommy praised her and said, "You are such a brave girl, Lily. I'm so proud of you. Now, let's see what you want from the treasure box. You can have anything you want. You earned it." + +Lily smiled and ran to the treasure box. She looked inside and saw many great things. She picked one and showed it to Mommy. It was a small book with colorful pictures and simple words. Lily loved books. She said, "Thank you, Mommy. I want this book. Can you read it to me?" + +Mommy nodded and said, "Of course, my sweetie. Let's go to your bed and read it together. Maybe it will help you fall asleep and dream of happy things." + +Lily hugged Mommy and said, "I love you, Mommy. You are the best." + +Mommy kissed Lily and said, "I love you too, Lily. You are the best too." +Lily and Sam are friends. They like to play together. Today, they go to the park with their moms. The park has swings, slides, and a sandbox. Lily and Sam have fun. + +Lily sees a big card on a bench. It is fancy. It has flowers, hearts, and glitter. Lily likes it. She picks it up. + +"Look, Sam, a fancy card!" Lily says. "Who is it for?" + +Sam looks at the card. He sees a name on it. It says "To Anna, Happy Birthday, Love Grandma". + +"Uh-oh, Lily, this is not our card. It is for Anna. It is her birthday. Grandma gave it to her. We should not take it. We should put it back." Sam says. + +Lily feels sad. She likes the card. She wants to keep it. But she knows Sam is right. It is not nice to take things that are not yours. + +"Okay, Sam, you are right. We should put it back. Maybe Anna will come soon. She will be happy to see her card. Maybe she will share it with us." Lily says. + +Lily and Sam put the card back on the bench. They hope Anna will like it. They go back to play. They are good friends. They are happy. +Ben and Lily were playing in the living room. They had many toys and books and crayons. They liked to make things with them. But they did not like to clean up. They made a big mess on the floor and on the walls and on the sofa. + +Mom came home from work. She saw the mess and was very angry. She said, "Ben and Lily, what did you do? This is not how we treat our home. You have to clean up right now or you will go to jail!" + +Ben and Lily were scared. They did not want to go to jail. They did not know what jail was, but it sounded bad. They started to panic. They cried and ran around. They did not know how to clean up. They made the mess bigger. + +Mom saw them panic and felt sorry. She said, "Calm down, my loves. I was joking. You will not go to jail. But you have to learn to be responsible. I will help you clean up, but you have to promise to do better next time." + +Ben and Lily nodded. They said, "We are sorry, Mom. We love you. We will do better next time." They hugged Mom and helped her clean up. They learned their lesson. They did not make a messy living room again. +Sara and Tom are twins. They like to play in the park with their toys. One day, they find a big bin near the slide. The bin is full of old things that people do not want. + +"Look, Sara, a big bin!" Tom says. "Let's see what is inside." + +They run to the bin and start to take out the things. They find a broken doll, a torn book, a dirty hat and a rusty bike. + +"Wow, these are cool!" Sara says. "Let's keep them and play with them." + +But their mom sees them and is not happy. She comes to the bin and says, "Sara, Tom, what are you doing? These things are not yours. They are trash. You have to put them back in the bin and behave. You do not take things that do not belong to you." + +Sara and Tom feel sad. They do not want to make their mom angry. They say, "Sorry, mom. We did not know. We just wanted to have fun." + +Mom hugs them and says, "I know, my loves. But you have to be careful and respectful. These things are not toys. They are dirty and dangerous. You have to throw them away and wash your hands. Then you can play with your own toys." + +Sara and Tom nod and do what mom says. They put the things back in the bin and wash their hands. Then they play with their own toys on the grass. They are happy and behave. Mom smiles and watches them. She loves them very much. +Lila was an adventurous princess who liked to explore the castle. One day, she found a secret door in the wall. She opened it and saw a dark tunnel. She wanted to see what was inside, so she took a torch and walked in. + +The tunnel was long and twisty. Lila saw strange shadows and heard scary noises. She started to tremble, but she did not want to go back. She wanted to be brave and find out where the tunnel led. + +After a while, she saw a light at the end of the tunnel. She ran towards it and came out in a beautiful garden. She saw flowers, trees, birds and butterflies. She also saw a boy who was playing with a ball. He looked surprised to see her. + +"Who are you?" he asked. + +"I'm Lila, the princess of the castle. Who are you?" she answered. + +"I'm Tom, the gardener's son. How did you get here?" he asked. + +"I found a secret door in the wall and followed the tunnel. It was dark and scary, but I was adventurous," she said. + +"Wow, you are very brave. I've never been in the tunnel. Do you want to play with me?" he asked. + +"Yes, I do. You are very nice. Can we be friends?" she asked. + +"Of course we can. Come on, let's play with the ball," he said. + +They played and laughed together in the garden. Lila was happy. She had found a new friend and a new place to explore. She was not afraid of the tunnel anymore. She was an adventurous princess. +Lily was a kid who liked to sing. She sang every day at home, at school, and with her friends. She had a big dream: to be a famous singer like her favorite star, Mia. + +One day, Lily saw a poster on the wall. It said: "Do you want to sing with Mia? Come to the park on Saturday and show your talent. The best singer will win a prize and a chance to sing with Mia on TV!" + +Lily was very happy and excited. She told her mom and dad, and they said they would take her to the park on Saturday. Lily practiced her song every day, and wore her prettiest dress. + +On Saturday, Lily and her parents went to the park. There were many kids who wanted to sing with Mia. Lily waited for her turn, and felt a little nervous. She saw Mia on the stage, smiling and waving. + +When it was Lily's turn, she walked up to the stage and took the microphone. She looked at Mia and said: "Hi, Mia. I'm Lily, and I'm your biggest fan. I want to sing with you." + +Mia smiled and said: "Hi, Lily. I'm happy to meet you. What song do you want to sing?" + +Lily said: "I want to sing your song, 'Shake It Up'. It's my favorite song." + +Mia said: "That's a great choice. Let's sing it together." + +Lily and Mia started to sing, and the crowd cheered. Lily sang with all her heart, and Mia sang with her. They both sounded amazing. They shook their bodies and had fun. + +When they finished, the crowd clapped and shouted. Lily and Mia hugged and smiled. Mia said: "Lily, you are a wonderful singer. You have a lot of talent. You are the winner of the prize and the chance to sing with me on TV. Congratulations!" + +Lily was so happy, she couldn't believe it. She thanked Mia and said: "Thank you, Mia. You are so kind and generous. You made my dream come true. I can't wait to sing with you on TV." + +Lily and Mia waved to the crowd and walked off the stage. Lily's mom and dad hugged her and said: "We are so proud of you, Lily. You did a great job. You are our famous singer." + +Lily smiled and said: "I love you, mom and dad. And I love singing. Singing makes me happy." +Sara and Ben were twins who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big truck with many boxes. The truck driver was busy and did not see them. Sara and Ben were curious and wanted to see what was in the boxes. + +They ran to the truck and climbed on it. They opened some boxes and found toys, books, and clothes. They were happy and started to take some things. They did not know that they were doing something bad. + +"Hey, what are you doing?" a voice shouted. It was the truck driver. He saw Sara and Ben and was angry. He ran to the truck and grabbed them. "You are stealing my things! These are not yours! These are for the store! You are ignorant and naughty!" + +Sara and Ben were scared and sorry. They did not mean to steal. They did not know what the word "stealing" meant. They dropped the things and tried to run away. But the truck driver was faster and caught them. + +He called their mom and dad on his phone. He told them what Sara and Ben did. He showed them the boxes and the order. He said he wanted them to pay for the things they took. He said he wanted them to learn a lesson. + +Mom and dad came to the park. They saw Sara and Ben and the truck driver. They were sad and ashamed. They apologized to the truck driver and paid him for the things. They thanked him for not calling the police. They took Sara and Ben home. + +They scolded Sara and Ben and explained to them why stealing was wrong. They told them to respect other people's things and to ask before taking. They told them to be careful and not to go near strangers or big trucks. They told them to be good and not ignorant. + +Sara and Ben felt bad and said they were sorry. They hugged mom and dad and promised to be good. They learned their lesson and never stole again. They also learned some new words, like "stealing", "order", and "ignorant". They gazed at the books they had at home and decided to read them instead of taking other people's books. They hoped the truck driver would forgive them and be their friend. +Anna and Ben are playing in the park. They like to run and jump and slide. They see a big hill with a lot of flowers. They want to go up the hill and pick some flowers. + +"Let's go, Ben!" Anna says. "We can make a flower crown for Mommy!" + +"OK, Anna!" Ben says. "But we have to be careful. The hill is very steep and there are rocks and thorns." + +They hold hands and start to climb the hill. They are careful not to slip or hurt themselves. They see many colors and smells. They pick some flowers and put them in their pockets. + +They are almost at the top of the hill when they hear Mommy calling them. + +"Anna! Ben! It's time to go home!" + +They look at each other and smile. They have a surprise for Mommy. + +"OK, Mommy!" they shout back. "We are coming!" + +They run down the hill as quick as they can. They are careful not to drop their flowers. They reach Mommy and hug her. + +"Look, Mommy!" Anna says. "We made you a flower crown!" + +She puts the crown on Mommy's head. Mommy looks very happy and pretty. + +"Thank you, Anna! Thank you, Ben!" Mommy says. "You are very sweet and thoughtful!" + +She kisses them and holds them close. + +"I love you, Mommy!" they say. + +"I love you, too!" Mommy says. "And I will always remember this day!" +Lily and Ben liked to play pirates in the attic. They had a big chest full of old clothes and toys that they used as treasure. One day, they found a blue scarf in the chest that sparkled like the sea. + +"Wow, look at this!" Lily said, wrapping the scarf around her neck. "I'm the pirate queen!" + +"Can I have it?" Ben asked, reaching for the scarf. + +"No, it's mine!" Lily said, holding it tight. "Find your own treasure!" + +Ben was angry. He wanted the scarf too. He looked around the chest and saw a shiny coin. He grabbed it and ran downstairs. + +"Ha, I have a real treasure!" he shouted. "You can keep your silly scarf!" + +Lily didn't care. She loved the scarf. She felt like it had magic. She closed her eyes and wished she could sail away on a pirate ship. + +Suddenly, she heard a strange sound. She opened her eyes and saw that the attic had changed. She was on a wooden deck, surrounded by sails and ropes. She saw a big flag with a skull and bones. She saw other pirates, wearing hats and swords. They looked at her and smiled. + +"Ahoy, matey!" one of them said. "Welcome to the Blue Scarf, the fastest ship in the sea! You're our new captain!" + +Lily was amazed. She had vanished from the attic and appeared on a pirate ship. She felt the wind in her hair and the scarf around her neck. She smiled back at the pirates. + +"Thank you!" she said. "Let's go find some adventure!" + +She didn't know how long she would stay on the ship, or if she would ever see Ben again. But she didn't mind. She had found her own treasure. +Anna liked to organize her toys. She had a big box for her dolls, a small box for her cars, and a basket for her books. She liked to make everything neat and tidy. + +One day, she found a wire on the floor. It was long and thin and shiny. She did not know what it was for. She picked it up and looked at it. She thought it might be a toy snake. + +She ran to her brother Tom, who was playing with his blocks. "Look, Tom, I found a snake!" she said, holding the wire. + +Tom looked at the wire and shook his head. "That's not a snake, Anna. That's a wire. It's for making things work, like the lamp or the radio. You can't play with it. It might be dangerous." + +Anna felt sad. She wanted to play with the wire. She thought it was fun and pretty. She did not want to give it to Tom. She pouted and said, "But I like it. It's mine. I found it." + +Tom saw that Anna was sad. He was a kind boy. He did not want to make her cry. He thought of an idea. He said, "How about we share it, Anna? We can use it to organize our toys. We can make a circle with it and put our blocks inside. Or we can make a line with it and put our cars on it. Or we can make a loop with it and hang our books on it. What do you think?" + +Anna liked Tom's idea. She smiled and said, "OK, Tom. That sounds fun. Let's do that. Thank you for being kind to me." + +Tom and Anna used the wire to organize their toys. They had a lot of fun. They learned that sharing is better than fighting. They were happy. +Tom and Lily were playing with their dad's tools. They liked to pretend they were fixing things. Tom found a big screw and a part that looked like a wheel. He wanted to put them together. + +"Look, Lily, I can make a car!" he said. + +He tried to push the screw into the part, but it was too hard. He looked for a tool to help him. He saw a hammer and picked it up. + +"No, Tom, that's dangerous!" Lily shouted. "You can hurt yourself or break the part!" + +But Tom did not listen. He swung the hammer and hit the screw. The screw flew out of his hand and hit the wall. The part cracked and fell apart. + +"Ow!" Tom cried. He dropped the hammer and held his finger. It was red and sore. + +Lily ran to him and hugged him. She was scared and sorry. + +"I'm sorry, Tom. Are you okay?" she asked. + +Tom nodded. He was angry and sad. He looked at the broken part and the screw. + +"I'm sorry, too. I wanted to make a car, but I broke it. And I hurt my finger. And I made a mess." he said. + +Lily kissed his finger and smiled. + +"It's okay, Tom. We can find another part and another screw. And we can use a different tool. Or we can play something else. Come on, let's go and find mom. She can make your finger better." she said. + +Tom smiled back. He took Lily's hand and they went to find mom. They left the hammer and the tools behind. They learned that they should not play with dangerous things. They decided to play with their toys instead. +Lily and Ben love to play with their toy planes. They make them zoom and fly in the air, and pretend they are pilots. They excite when they see real planes in the sky, and wonder where they are going. + +One day, their mom tells them they are going on a trip. They are going to ride on a big plane, and fly to a place with wild animals. Lily and Ben are very happy and curious. They pack their bags and their toy planes, and get ready to go. + +At the airport, they see many planes of different colors and sizes. They hear the loud noises they make, and feel the wind they blow. They follow their mom to the gate, and show their tickets to the lady. She smiles and lets them go inside the plane. + +Lily and Ben find their seats and buckle their belts. They look out the window and see the wings and the wheels of the plane. They hear the pilot say hello and tell them to enjoy the flight. They hold their toy planes and wave to the ground. + +The plane starts to move and go faster and faster. Lily and Ben feel a little scared and a little excited. They squeeze their mom's hand and their toy planes. The plane lifts off the ground and flies into the air. Lily and Ben look at each other and say, "Wow, we are flying!" They laugh and clap their hands. They can't wait to see the wild animals. +Tom is a dog. He likes to run and play and bark. He lives in a house with his owner, Sue. Sue is nice to Tom. She gives him food and water and hugs. + +One day, Sue takes Tom to a park. There are many other dogs and people in the park. Tom is happy and excited. He wants to meet them all. + +"Tom, come here," Sue says. "I want to introduce you to someone." + +Tom runs to Sue. He sees a man with a big smile. He has a hat and a coat. He holds a leash. On the leash, there is a small dog. The small dog is white and fluffy. It has a pink bow on its head. + +"Tom, this is my friend, Ben. And this is his dog, Lily. Ben and Lily, this is my dog, Tom," Sue says. + +"Hello, Tom. You are a big and strong dog," Ben says. He bends down and pets Tom. Tom likes Ben. He wags his tail. + +"Hello, Lily. You are a cute and soft dog," Tom says. He sniffs Lily. Lily likes Tom. She licks his nose. + +"Let's play together," Lily says. + +"Okay, let's play," Tom says. + +Sue and Ben smile. They let go of the leashes. Tom and Lily run and chase and roll in the grass. They have fun. They are friends. + +The end. +Tom and Anna liked to play near the stream. They saw fish and frogs and ducks in the water. Sometimes they threw stones and made splashes. One day, they found something shiny on the bank. It was a ring with a big stone that sparkled. + +"Wow, look at this!" Tom said. He picked up the ring and put it on his finger. "It is so pretty!" + +Anna looked at the ring and blinked. She wanted to touch it too. "Can I see it, Tom?" she asked. + +Tom shook his head. "No, it is mine. I found it first. It is very expensive. I can buy many toys with it." + +Anna felt sad and angry. She did not like Tom being mean. She tried to grab the ring from his finger. Tom pulled his hand away and ran. Anna ran after him. They both forgot to watch where they were going. + +They did not see the big rock in their way. Tom tripped and fell. The ring flew off his finger and landed in the stream. It sank to the bottom and disappeared. + +Tom and Anna stopped and stared. They both felt sorry and silly. They had lost the ring and hurt their knees. They did not want to fight anymore. + +They hugged and said sorry to each other. They decided to play nice and share their toys. They did not care about the expensive ring. They had each other and the stream. That was enough. +Lily and Sam were twins, but they were very different. Lily liked to run and jump and play games. Sam liked to read and draw and make things. One day, they had a race at school. Lily was very excited. She wanted to win a medal. + +"Are you ready, Sam?" she asked her brother. + +"Yes, Lily, but I don't like to run very much," Sam said. + +The teacher blew the whistle and the race began. Lily ran as fast as she could. She passed all the other kids. She was the first to reach the finish line. She was very happy. She got a medal. + +"Good job, Lily!" the teacher said. + +Sam ran very slowly. He was the last to finish. He did not get a medal. He was very sad. + +"I'm sorry, Sam," Lily said. "Do you want to share my medal?" + +"No, thank you, Lily," Sam said. "You earned it. You are very fast." + +Lily hugged Sam. She loved her brother. + +"Maybe next time we can do something you like," she said. + +"Like what?" Sam asked. + +"Like a spelling bee or a craft contest," Lily said. + +Sam smiled. He liked those things. + +"That sounds fun," he said. "But can we delay it until tomorrow? I'm very tired now." + +Lily nodded. She was tired too. + +"Okay, Sam," she said. "Let's go home and rest. We are different, but we are both great." +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to pick daisies and make chains. They saw a big daisy with many petals. Lily wanted to pick it, but Ben said no. + +"That daisy is near the fire. Fire is hot and can burn you. We should stay away from it," Ben said. + +Lily did not listen. She ran to the daisy and reached for it. But she got too close to the fire and felt a pain in her hand. She cried out loud and dropped the daisy. + +Ben ran to her and hugged her. He saw a red mark on her hand. He was scared and sorry. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. I should have stopped you. Are you okay?" Ben said. + +Lily was still crying. She felt her hand hurt a lot. She was angry and sad. + +"No, I'm not okay. You were right, Ben. Fire is bad. It burned me and the daisy. Now the daisy is gone and my hand is sore. I don't like fire. I don't like dark. I want to go home," Lily said. + +Ben nodded. He took Lily's hand and led her to the house. He called for their mom. He hoped she could make Lily feel better. He learned a lesson. He would never play near the fire again. He would listen to his mom and Ben. He would be careful and kind. He loved Lily and the daisies. He wanted them to be happy and safe. +Ben and Sam are friends. They like to play with toys. One day, they find a big box in the garage. They open the box and see many things inside. They see a gun, a hat, a badge, and a belt. + +"Wow, look at this gun!" Ben says. He picks up the gun and points it at Sam. "Bang, bang, you are a bad guy and I am a cop!" + +Sam is scared. He does not like the gun. He thinks the gun is not a toy. He thinks the gun is real. He says to Ben, "Stop, Ben, stop! That gun is not for playing. That gun can hurt you and me. Put the gun back in the box!" + +Ben does not listen to Sam. He thinks Sam is silly. He thinks the gun is fun. He says to Sam, "No, Sam, no! You are wrong. The gun is for playing. The gun is cool. Look, I can display the gun on the belt. I can wear the hat and the badge. I can be a smart cop!" + +Sam is sad. He does not want to play with Ben anymore. He thinks Ben is not smart. He thinks Ben is dangerous. He says to Ben, "Bye, Ben, bye! I am going home. I do not want to be your friend. You are not smart. You are silly. You do not know how to be safe. You do not know how to be a good cop!" + +Sam leaves the garage. He runs to his house. He tells his mom what happened. His mom is angry. She calls Ben's mom. She tells Ben's mom what Ben did. Ben's mom is shocked. She goes to the garage. She sees Ben with the gun. She takes the gun away from Ben. She scolds Ben. She says to Ben, "Bad, Ben, bad! You are in trouble. You should not play with the gun. The gun is not a toy. The gun is real. The gun belongs to your dad. He is a real cop. He uses the gun for work. He keeps the gun in the box. He locks the box. He hides the key. You should not touch the box. You should not touch the gun. You could have hurt yourself or Sam. You are not smart. You are foolish. You are not a cop. You are a naughty boy!" +Lily and Max were twins who liked to crawl. They crawled everywhere in their house, under the table, behind the sofa, and into their mom's closet. One day, they decided to crawl outside and see the town. + +The town was big and beautiful, with many colors and sounds. Lily and Max crawled on the sidewalk, looking at the cars, the trees, and the people. They saw a dog, a cat, a bird, and a squirrel. They said hello to them, but they did not say hello back. + +"Where are we going?" Lily asked Max. + +"I don't know," Max said. "Let's keep crawling and find out." + +They crawled and crawled, until they reached a big park. There were swings, slides, and a sandbox. They saw other kids playing and laughing. They wanted to join them, but they were too shy. + +"Can we play with them?" Lily asked Max. + +"I don't know," Max said. "Maybe they will not like us." + +They crawled to a bench and sat down. They felt sad and lonely. They wished they had friends. + +Then, they heard a voice. + +"Hi, do you want to play with us?" + +They looked up and saw a girl and a boy, who were smiling and friendly. They had toys and snacks in their hands. + +"Who are you?" Lily asked. + +"I'm Anna, and this is Ben. We live near the park. We like to crawl, too. It's fun," the girl said. + +"Really? We like to crawl, too. It's our favorite thing to do. We are Lily and Max. We live in that house over there," the boy said, pointing to their home. + +"Wow, you crawled all the way here? That's amazing. You must be very brave and strong. We are happy to meet you. Come on, let's play together," the boy said. + +Lily and Max smiled and nodded. They crawled with Anna and Ben to the sandbox, where they made castles and tunnels. They shared their toys and snacks, and told each other stories. They had a lot of fun, and became friends. + +They learned that crawling was not only fun, but also a way to explore the world and make new friends. They were glad they crawled outside and saw the town. The town was big and beautiful, and so were their hearts. +Lily and Max love to play with their dinosaur toys. They have big ones and small ones, green ones and red ones, scary ones and friendly ones. They like to make them roar and run and fight and hug. + +One day, they decide to build a dinosaur house with their blocks. They stack them high and wide, making walls and windows and a door. They are very careful not to knock them down. + +"Look, Lily, our dinosaur house is ready!" Max says, putting the last block on the roof. "Now we can put our dinosaurs inside and they can be happy and safe." + +Lily nods and picks up her favorite dinosaur, a purple one with a long neck and a big smile. She tries to fit it through the door, but it is too big. She pushes harder, but the door falls down and the blocks tumble down. + +"Oh no!" Lily cries. "Our dinosaur house is broken! Now our dinosaurs have no place to live!" + +Max sees Lily's sad face and feels sorry for her. He hugs her and says, "Don't worry, Lily, we can fix it. We can support each other and work together. We can make a bigger door and a stronger roof. We can make our dinosaur house even better than before." + +Lily smiles and hugs Max back. She says, "Thank you, Max, you are a good brother. You are right, we can support each other and work together. We can make our dinosaur house even better than before." + +They pick up the blocks and start to build again. They make a bigger door and a stronger roof. They put their dinosaurs inside and they are happy and safe. They are proud of their dinosaur house and of each other. They are ready to play some more. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park with their toy cars. They liked to pretend they were driving on the road and had to follow the rules. Lily had a red car and Tom had a blue car. + +"Yield means stop and let the other car go first," Lily said, as she saw a sign with a yellow triangle. "You have to yield to me, Tom, because I have the right way." + +"No, I don't," Tom said, as he sped up his car and tried to pass Lily. "I want to go faster and get to the ice cream shop." + +They both pushed their cars hard and did not see the big rock on the path. Their cars crashed into the rock and flew into the air. They landed on the grass and caught fire. + +"Help, help!" Lily and Tom shouted, as they saw the flames. "Our cars are on fire!" + +A man who was walking his dog heard their cries and ran to help them. He had a bottle of water and poured it on the fire. The fire went out and the cars stopped burning. + +"Are you okay, kids?" the man asked, as he picked up the cars and gave them back to Lily and Tom. "You should be more careful when you play. Fire is very dangerous and can hurt you." + +"Thank you, mister," Lily and Tom said, as they looked at their cars. They were black and melted and did not look like cars anymore. + +"We are sorry, mister," Lily said, as she felt sad. "We were not intelligent. We did not follow the rules and we made a mess." + +"It's okay, kids," the man said, as he smiled. "You learned a lesson today. Next time, you will be more intelligent and yield to each other. That way, you can play safely and have fun." + +Lily and Tom nodded and hugged each other. They said goodbye to the man and his dog and went home with their parents. They decided to share their ice cream and be nice to each other. They did not want to play with fire again. +Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a game. They find things and put them in a box. They are very organized. + +One day, they find a big leaf. It is green and yellow. They put it in the box. Then they find a shiny stone. It is blue and white. They put it in the box. Then they find a feather. It is soft and brown. They put it in the box. + +They are happy. They have many things in the box. They want to show them to their moms. + +"Look, mom, look!" Sara says. "We find a leaf, a stone, and a feather!" + +"Wow, that's wonderful!" Sara's mom says. "You are very good at finding things. And you are very organized. You put them in a box." + +"Look, mom, look!" Tom says. "We find a leaf, a stone, and a feather!" + +"Wow, that's amazing!" Tom's mom says. "You are very smart at finding things. And you are very organized. You put them in a box." + +Sara and Tom smile. They are proud. They have a fun game. They find things and put them in a box. They are very organized. +Lily and Anna liked to play dress-up. They had a big box of makeup and clothes that their mom gave them. They put on lipstick, eyeshadow, and blush. They wore hats, scarves, and necklaces. They looked at themselves in the mirror and smiled. + +"Let's pretend we are fierce queens," Lily said. "We can rule the world and have a lot of fun." + +"OK," Anna said. "But we have to be careful. There is a bad dragon outside. He wants to take our makeup and clothes. He is very big and scary." + +Lily and Anna grabbed their toy swords and shields. They went outside to face the dragon. They saw him hiding behind a tree. He had green scales, yellow eyes, and sharp teeth. He growled and breathed fire. + +"Go away, dragon!" Lily shouted. "This is our kingdom. You can't have our makeup and clothes. They are ours." + +The dragon roared and ran towards them. Lily and Anna waved their swords and shields. They were not afraid. They were fierce queens. + +But then they heard their mom calling them. "Lily, Anna, time for lunch!" + +Lily and Anna looked at each other. They had an idea. They shouted together, "Freeze, dragon!" + +The dragon stopped in his tracks. He looked confused. He did not know what to do. + +Lily and Anna ran back inside. They left their makeup and clothes outside. They hoped the dragon would not touch them. + +"Maybe he will go away," Lily said. + +"Or maybe he will freeze forever," Anna said. + +They giggled and went to eat their lunch. They were happy. They had a lot of fun. +Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and make noise. They saw a path that went to the woods. They wanted to see what was there. + +"Let's go, let's go!" Lily said. She ran to the path. Tom followed her. + +But the path was not good. It had holes and rocks and sticks. Lily tripped on a stick and fell down. She hurt her knee and cried. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" she said. "This path is stupid! It made me fall!" + +Tom came to help her. He saw her knee was bleeding. He took a leaf and wrapped it around her knee. + +"Don't cry, Lily," he said. "I will repair your knee. The leaf will make it better." + +He helped her stand up. He hugged her and said, "You are brave, Lily. You are not stupid. The path is stupid. Let's go back to the garden. We can play there. It is safe and fun." + +Lily nodded. She smiled and said, "Thank you, Tom. You are kind, Tom. You are not stupid. The path is stupid. Let's go back to the garden. We can play there. It is safe and fun." + +They held hands and walked back to the garden. They forgot about the path and the woods. They played and laughed and had a good time. +Lily and Ben like to collect things. They collect rocks, leaves, stickers, and coins. They have a big box where they keep their collections. Sometimes they trade with each other or show their friends. + +One day, they see a big billboard on the road. It has a picture of a hairy dog and some words. Lily and Ben do not know what the words say, but they like the dog. They want to collect the billboard. + +They ask their mom if they can have the billboard. Their mom laughs and says no. She says the billboard is not for them. It is for other people to see. She says the billboard is too big and too far. She says they can take a picture of the billboard instead. + +Lily and Ben are sad. They really want the billboard. They think the hairy dog is cute and funny. They wonder what the words say. They ask their mom to tell them. + +Their mom looks at the billboard and reads the words. She says the words say "Adopt a furry friend today. Visit the animal shelter and find your new best buddy." She says the billboard is for people who want to have a pet. + +Lily and Ben get excited. They love pets. They ask their mom if they can go to the animal shelter and see the animals. Their mom smiles and says yes. She says maybe they can find a hairy dog like the one on the billboard. She says maybe they can collect a new friend. +Sam liked to imagine things. He imagined he was a pirate, a knight, a superhero. He imagined he had a big castle, a fast car, a magic wand. He imagined he could do anything he wanted. + +One day, he imagined he could eat a whole pie by himself. He saw a pie on the kitchen table. It was round and brown and smelled good. He imagined it was his pie. He climbed on a chair and reached for the pie. + +"Sam, what are you doing?" his mom asked. She came into the kitchen and saw him with the pie. She looked angry. + +Sam felt guilty. He knew he was not supposed to touch the pie. The pie was for dinner. He had been a bad boy. + +"I'm sorry, mom," he said. He put the pie back on the table. He got down from the chair. He hugged his mom. + +"It's okay, Sam," his mom said. She hugged him back. "But you have to ask before you take something. And you have to share with others. Do you understand?" + +Sam nodded. He understood. He did not want to be a bad boy. He wanted to be a good boy. + +"Can I still have some pie for dinner?" he asked. + +"Of course, you can," his mom said. "But only a small piece. And you have to eat your vegetables first." + +Sam agreed. He liked pie, but he liked his mom more. He imagined he was a good boy. And he was. +Lila was a clever girl who liked to play with her toys. She had a big doll, a small car, a soft bear and a shiny wing. The wing was her favorite toy, because it was from a fairy book. She liked to pretend she was a fairy and fly with the wing. + +One day, she was playing with the wing in her room, when her brother Ben came in. Ben was older than Lila and he liked to tease her. He saw the wing and said, "What is this? A silly wing? You can't fly with this. It's just a piece of paper." + +He grabbed the wing from Lila and tore it in half. Lila was very sad and angry. She cried, "Ben, you are mean! You disturb my play! You broke my wing! Give it back!" + +Ben laughed and said, "No, I won't. It's just a stupid wing. You are a baby. Go cry to mom." + +He ran out of the room with the wing. Lila followed him and shouted, "Stop! Stop! Give me my wing!" + +She ran after him, but he was faster. He reached the kitchen, where mom was cooking. He threw the wing in the trash and said, "Look, mom, I found this in Lila's room. It's a silly wing. She can't fly with this. It's just a piece of paper." + +Mom looked at the wing and said, "Ben, what did you do? This is Lila's wing. She loves this wing. It's from a fairy book. You can't just take it and tear it. That's not nice. You disturb her play. You hurt her feelings. You owe her an apology." + +Ben felt ashamed. He realized he was wrong. He said, "I'm sorry, mom. I'm sorry, Lila. I was just joking. I didn't mean to break your wing. I know you like it. Can I fix it?" + +Lila was still sad, but she forgave him. She said, "It's okay, Ben. I know you didn't mean it. But don't do it again. It's not funny. It's my wing. I like to play with it. You can help me fix it." + +Mom smiled and said, "That's good, Lila. That's very kind of you. And that's good, Ben. That's very brave of you. You both learned a lesson today. Now, let's see if we can fix the wing with some tape and glue. And then, maybe, you can play together with the wing. Maybe you can both pretend to be fairies and fly with it." + +Lila and Ben nodded and hugged. They said, "Thank you, mom. We love you. We love each other. We love the wing." +Lily liked to play the drum. She had a large drum that made a loud sound. She played the drum every day in her room. She liked to make up songs and sing along. + +One day, Lily wanted to show her drum to her friends. She took her drum to the park. She saw her friends playing on the swings and slides. She said, "Hi, friends! Look at my drum! Do you want to hear me play?" + +Her friends came over and looked at her drum. They said, "Wow, that's a big drum! How do you play it?" + +Lily smiled and said, "It's easy. You just hit it with these sticks. Like this." She hit the drum with the sticks. The drum made a loud sound. BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! + +But then, something bad happened. The drum broke. The top of the drum came off. The sticks fell out of Lily's hands. The drum made a funny sound. PFFT! PFFT! PFFT! + +Lily felt sad. She felt embarrassed. She said, "Oh no! My drum is broken! What will I do?" + +Her friends looked at her. They saw that she was sad. They said, "Don't be sad, Lily. Don't be embarrassed. It's not your fault. The drum was old. Maybe you can get a new drum. Or maybe you can play something else. We can help you." + +Lily looked at her friends. She saw that they were kind. They were good friends. She said, "Thank you, friends. You are nice. You make me feel better. Maybe I can play something else. Maybe I can play the tambourine. Or the triangle. Or the xylophone. Do you want to play with me?" + +Her friends said, "Yes, Lily. We want to play with you. You are fun. You are a good friend. Let's play together." + +Lily smiled. She felt happy. She forgot about her broken drum. She played with her friends. They made music together. They had fun. +Lily and Ben were playing with blocks. They liked to build structures with different shapes and colors. They made towers, bridges, houses, and castles. Sometimes they pretended to be kings and queens, or knights and dragons. + +One day, they decided to mail a letter to their grandma. They wrote "We love you" and drew some hearts and flowers on a piece of paper. They folded it and put it in an envelope. They wrote "Grandma" on the front and put a sticker on it. + +They took their letter and went outside. They saw a big blue mailbox on the corner. They ran towards it, holding hands. But when they got closer, they saw a fierce dog barking and growling behind a fence. The dog was big and black, with sharp teeth and red eyes. It looked very angry and scary. + +Lily and Ben stopped and felt afraid. They did not want to go near the dog. They did not want to lose their letter. They did not know what to do. + +"Hey, kids, what are you doing?" a friendly voice said. They turned and saw a man in a blue uniform. He had a bag full of letters and packages. He was a mailman. + +"We want to mail this letter to our grandma, but there is a fierce dog there," Lily said, pointing to the mailbox and the fence. + +"Don't worry, I can help you," the mailman said. He smiled and took their letter. He walked to the mailbox and put it inside. The dog barked louder, but the mailman was not afraid. He knew the dog was just protecting his home. + +"Thank you, mailman," Ben said. + +"You're welcome, kids," the mailman said. "Your grandma will be very happy to get your letter. Have a nice day." + +Lily and Ben waved goodbye to the mailman. They felt happy and proud. They had mailed their letter to their grandma. They went back to their blocks and continued to play. They hoped their grandma would write back soon. +Lily and Max were best friends. They liked to play together in the park. One day, they saw a big castle made of cardboard boxes. It was a palace for the children to have fun. + +"Wow, look at that!" Lily said. "Can we go inside?" + +"Yes, let's go!" Max said. They were enthusiastic. They ran to the palace and opened the door. + +Inside, there were many rooms and windows and decorations. There were also other children playing. Lily and Max wanted to join them. + +"Hello, we are Lily and Max. Can we play with you?" they asked. + +"Sure, welcome to the palace!" a girl said. "We are playing hide and seek. Do you want to play too?" + +"Yes, we love hide and seek!" Lily and Max said. + +"OK, then I will count to ten and you have to hide. Ready?" the girl said. + +"Ready!" Lily and Max said. They ran to find a good hiding spot. They looked around and saw a big closet. They decided to hide there. + +They opened the closet and went inside. It was dark and cozy. They closed the door and waited. + +"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten! Ready or not, here I come!" they heard the girl say. + +They giggled and whispered to each other. + +"Shh, we have to be quiet. Maybe she won't find us," Lily said. + +"Maybe we will win. This is a good hiding spot," Max said. + +They heard the girl's footsteps and voice. She was looking for them in the palace. She opened and closed doors and windows. She checked under tables and behind curtains. She found some other children, but not Lily and Max. + +"Where are they? They are good at hiding," she said. + +Lily and Max smiled. They were happy. They liked the palace and the game. They liked their new friend. They hoped she would find them soon, so they could play again. +Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play with blocks and cars and dolls. One day, they found a big box of toys in the basement. They were very happy and excited. + +"Look, Ben, a volcano!" Lily said, pointing to a red and yellow toy that looked like a mountain. "Can I play with it?" + +"Sure, Lily, you can play with it. I want to play with this train," Ben said, picking up a blue and green toy that had wheels and a whistle. "Let's make a town with the blocks and the cars and the dolls." + +They started to build and play, but soon they ran out of space. The volcano was too big and took up a lot of room. The train was too long and needed a lot of tracks. The blocks and the cars and the dolls were scattered everywhere. + +"Lily, move your volcano. It's in the way of my train," Ben said, frowning. + +"Ben, move your train. It's in the way of my volcano," Lily said, pouting. + +They started to argue and push and pull. They were not happy and excited anymore. They were angry and sad. + +"Stop it, you two!" Mom said, coming down the stairs. "What's going on here?" + +"Lily and Ben are fighting over the toys," Sam, their older brother, said. He was watching from the couch. "They don't want to share." + +Mom looked at the mess and shook her head. "That's not nice. You have to learn to share and play together. There are enough toys for everyone. Why don't you separate the toys into two piles and take turns choosing what you want?" + +Lily and Ben looked at each other and felt sorry. They knew Mom was right. They said sorry to each other and hugged. They decided to separate the toys and be generous. They took turns picking what they wanted and made sure they had enough for both of them. + +"Thank you, Mom," Lily and Ben said. "We're sorry we fought. We'll share and play together." + +Mom smiled and gave them a kiss. "That's good, my loves. I'm proud of you. Now have fun and be careful with the volcano. It might erupt!" She winked and went back upstairs. + +Lily and Ben laughed and nodded. They went back to playing with the toys, but this time they were more careful and respectful. They made a town with the blocks and the cars and the dolls. They made the volcano erupt with baking soda and vinegar. They made the train go around the tracks and whistle. They had a lot of fun and were best friends again. +Tom is a fisherman. He likes to catch fish in the sea. He has a big boat and a strong net. He goes out every morning and comes back at night. + +One day, Tom sees a big storm in the sky. The wind is loud and the waves are high. He is afraid. He tries to go back to the shore, but the storm is too fast. He calls his wife on the radio. + +"Mary, I am in trouble. The storm is very bad. I cannot see the shore. Please help me." + +Mary hears Tom's voice. She is very worried. She loves Tom very much. She calls the coast guard on the phone. + +"Please, please, help my husband. He is a fisherman. He is in the sea. There is a big storm. He is in danger." + +The coast guard says, "Don't worry, Mary. We will find him. We have a helicopter and a boat. We will look for him in the air and in the water. Stay calm and wait for us." + +Mary waits and prays. She hopes Tom is safe. She looks at the sea and the sky. She hopes the storm will stop. + +The coast guard works hard. They search for Tom for a long time. They finally see his boat and his net. They fly over him and wave. They lower a rope and a basket. They tell Tom to get in. + +"Tom, we are here to help you. Grab the rope and get in the basket. We will take you to the shore. You are brave and strong. You will be okay." + +Tom is happy and relieved. He grabs the rope and gets in the basket. He thanks the coast guard. He looks at the sea and the sky. He hopes Mary is waiting for him. + +The coast guard flies Tom to the shore. They land near the dock. They help Tom out of the basket. They check him for injuries. They say he is fine. + +Mary sees Tom. She runs to him and hugs him. She cries and smiles. She says, "Tom, I am so glad you are safe. I was so worried about you. I love you very much." + +Tom hugs Mary back. He says, "Mary, I am so glad to see you. I was so scared in the sea. I love you very much too." + +They kiss and hold hands. They thank the coast guard. They go home together. They are happy and grateful. They never forget the storm and the rescue. +Ben and Mia are friends. They like to play with toys and draw pictures. One day, they find a big box of crayons and paper in the playroom. They are very happy. + +"Let's make pictures of our favorite things!" Mia says. + +"OK!" Ben says. "I like cars and trucks. What do you like?" + +"I like flowers and butterflies. They are pretty and colorful." Mia says. + +They start to draw their pictures. Mia makes a picture of a garden with many flowers and butterflies. Ben makes a picture of a road with many cars and trucks. They use many crayons and make their pictures very bright. + +When they finish, they show each other their pictures. They smile and say, "Wow! Your picture is very nice!" + +They decide to hang their pictures on the wall. They look for tape or glue, but they cannot find any. They think of what to do. + +"I have an idea!" Ben says. "We can use gum to stick our pictures on the wall. I have some gum in my pocket." + +He takes out a pack of gum and gives one piece to Mia. They both chew their gum and make it sticky. Then they put their gum on the corners of their pictures and press them on the wall. + +They step back and look at their pictures. They are very proud of their work. + +"Look! Our pictures are on the wall!" Mia says. + +"Yes! They look very regular!" Ben says. + +They clap their hands and laugh. They do not know that gum is not good for walls. They do not know that their pictures will fall down soon. They do not know that their mom and dad will be very mad. They only know that they had fun making pictures with their friend. +Lily was very excite to see her big brother's microscope. He said he would show her some tiny things that she could not see with her eyes. He put a slide with a drop of water on the microscope and turned on the light. + +"Look, Lily, this is a water bear. It is a very small animal that lives in the water. It has a long body and eight legs. Can you see it?" he asked. + +Lily looked through the eyepiece and saw a brown blob with tiny hairs. She gasped and smiled. "Wow, it is so cute! It looks like a bear, but very very small. Can I touch it?" she asked. + +"No, you can't touch it, Lily. It is too small and fragile. You can only look at it with the microscope. But you can see other things too. Do you want to see a flower, or a feather, or a hair?" he offered. + +Lily nodded eagerly. She wanted to see more tiny things with the microscope. She thanked her big brother for sharing his microscope with her. She thought he was the best brother ever. She learned a lot of new things and had a lot of fun. +One day, a boy and a girl went to the zoo with their mom. They saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and birds. They liked the animals and wanted to see more. + +They came to a big cage with a big gorilla inside. The gorilla was very big and hairy, and had a sad face. He sat on a rock and did not move. The boy and the girl felt sorry for the gorilla. + +"Mom, why is the gorilla so sad?" the boy asked. + +"Maybe he is lonely, or bored, or misses his home," the mom said. + +"Can we make him happy?" the girl asked. + +"Maybe we can try to sing to him," the mom said. "Maybe he likes music." + +The boy and the girl nodded. They liked to sing. They sang a song they learned at school. It was a happy song, about the sun, the sky, and the flowers. They sang loud and clear, and smiled at the gorilla. + +The gorilla heard the song. He lifted his head and looked at the boy and the girl. He saw their smiles and heard their voices. He felt something in his heart. He felt warm and happy. He wanted to sing too. + +He opened his mouth and made a sound. It was a loud and deep sound, like a roar. But it was also a song, a song of the gorilla. He sang to the boy and the girl, and to the sun, the sky, and the flowers. He sang with all his might, and moved his arms and legs. + +The boy and the girl were surprised and happy. They clapped their hands and laughed. The mom was amazed and proud. They had made the gorilla happy. + +The gorilla saw their joy and felt more joy. He sang louder and louder, and jumped and danced. He was not sad anymore. He was alive and free. + +The other animals heard the gorilla's song. They were curious and happy too. They joined the song, each with their own sound. The lions roared, the monkeys chattered, the birds chirped. The zoo was filled with music and life. + +The boy and the girl, the mom and the gorilla, and all the animals sang together. They sang a song of friendship, a song of love, a song of hope. They sang until the sun set and the stars came out. They sang until they were tired and sleepy. They sang until they were dead. + +Note: The last sentence is a bit dark and might not be suitable for a 3 year old child. A possible alternative is: + +They sang until they were tired and sleepy. They sang until they said good night. They sang until they dreamed. +Lily and Ben liked to play in the park. They liked to slide, swing, and run. But their favorite thing was to pretend they were lions. They would roar at each other and chase each other around the trees. + +One day, they saw a big hole in the ground. It looked like a tunnel. They wondered what was inside. Maybe it was a secret cave for lions. They decided to explore it. + +They crawled into the hole and followed the dark path. It was cold and wet and quiet. They could not see much. They held hands and kept roaring to scare away any monsters. + +"Roar! Roar! We are the bravest lions in the world!" Lily said. + +"Roar! Roar! Nothing can stop us!" Ben said. + +But then they heard a loud noise. It was not a roar. It was a rumble. It came from underground. It shook the ground and made the rocks fall. It was a train! + +Lily and Ben were scared. They did not want to be hit by the train. They turned around and ran back to the hole. They climbed out and ran to the grass. They were safe. + +They hugged each other and breathed hard. They were glad they escaped. They decided not to go into the hole again. It was not easy or fun. It was dangerous and scary. + +They looked at each other and smiled. They were still lions. They roared at the sky and ran to the slide. They had more fun in the park. +Lily and Tom are playing with blocks. They want to make a big tower. They have many blocks of different colors and shapes. + +Lily says, "Let's measure how tall our tower is. I have a ruler. It has numbers on it. We can count the numbers and see how many they are." + +Tom says, "OK, that sounds fun. But we have to be quiet. Mom is working in the other room. She needs quiet to work. She said so." + +Lily and Tom nod. They start to stack the blocks on the floor. They make sure the blocks are straight and balanced. They do not want the tower to fall. + +When they have used all the blocks, they look at their tower. It is very tall. It reaches the window. They are proud of their work. + +Lily takes the ruler and puts it next to the tower. She starts to count the numbers. "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. Our tower is ten numbers tall!" + +Tom says, "Wow, that is a lot of numbers. That is a very big tower. We did a good job. Measuring is easy and fun." + +Lily and Tom smile. They hug each other. They are happy. They hope Mom will like their tower too. They wait for her to finish working. They are quiet. +Anna liked to travel with her dad. He drove a big truck and took her to many places. Sometimes they saw animals on the road, like cows, horses, and birds. + +One night, they stopped at a park to sleep. Anna heard a strange sound from a tree. She looked up and saw a big owl. The owl had yellow eyes and brown feathers. It looked at Anna and said, "Who, who, who are you?" + +Anna was shy and scared. She hid behind her dad and whispered, "Dad, what is that?" + +Her dad smiled and said, "That is an owl, Anna. He is a bird that likes to fly at night. He is not mean, he is just curious. He wants to know who you are." + +Anna felt a little braver. She peeked from behind her dad and said, "Hi, owl. I am Anna. I travel with my dad. We are in a truck. What do you do?" + +The owl blinked and said, "Hi, Anna. I am Ollie. I travel with the moon. I am in a tree. I hunt for mice and bugs. Do you want to be my friend?" + +Anna nodded and said, "Yes, Ollie. I want to be your friend. You are a cool bird. Can I see you again?" + +Ollie nodded and said, "Yes, Anna. I want to be your friend too. You are a nice girl. I will wait for you here tomorrow night. Good night, Anna. Good night, dad." + +Anna and her dad said good night to Ollie and went to sleep in the truck. Anna dreamed of flying with Ollie and the moon. She was happy to have a new friend. +Tom and Lily wanted to help Mom make a cake. Mom said they could put the eggs and flour in the big bowl. She gave them a mixer to mix them together. She said, "Be careful with the mixer. It is fast and loud." + +Tom and Lily took turns with the mixer. They liked to see the eggs and flour turn into a smooth batter. They laughed when the mixer made a funny noise. They did not see Mom leave the kitchen for a minute. + +Then, something bad happened. The mixer got stuck on the high speed. It spun faster and faster. The batter flew out of the bowl and splashed on the walls, the table, and the floor. Tom and Lily panicked. They did not know how to stop the mixer. They screamed, "Mom! Mom! Help!" + +Mom heard them and ran back to the kitchen. She saw the mess and the mixer. She quickly unplugged the mixer and took it away from Tom and Lily. She said, "Oh, no! What happened here? Are you okay?" + +Tom and Lily were scared and sorry. They said, "We are sorry, Mom. We wanted to help you. The mixer went crazy. We did not mean to make a mess." + +Mom hugged them and said, "It's okay, Tom and Lily. I know you wanted to help. But you have to be more careful with the mixer. It is not a toy. It can be dangerous. Next time, wait for me to use it, okay?" + +Tom and Lily nodded and said, "Okay, Mom. We are sorry. Can we still help you make the cake?" + +Mom smiled and said, "Of course you can. But first, let's clean up this mess." +Lily and Tom were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were cooks and make yummy things. They saw a big bottle on the shelf. It was red and shiny. It had a label with unknown words. + +"What is this?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know. Maybe it is juice," Tom said. + +They took the bottle and poured some into a bowl. It smelled funny. They wanted to make it taste better. They looked for things to add. They found sugar, salt, pepper, and cheese. They put them all in the bowl. Then they took a spoon and started to stir. + +"Stir, stir, stir," they sang. + +They heard a noise. It was Mom. She came into the kitchen and saw the mess. She saw the bottle and the bowl. She was very angry. + +"What are you doing?" she shouted. "That is not juice. That is wine. It is for grown-ups only. And you ruined it with all that stuff. How could you?" + +Lily and Tom felt bad. They did not know they did something wrong. They wanted to make Mom happy. They said they were sorry. + +"We are sorry, Mom. We were playing. We did not know it was wine. We wanted to make it yummy," they said. + +Mom sighed. She was still angry, but she loved them. She knew they did not mean to be bad. She hugged them and said they had to clean up. She said they could not touch the wine again. She said they could have some real juice later. + +Lily and Tom nodded. They helped Mom clean up. They learned a new word: wine. They decided they did not like it. They liked juice better. They hoped Mom would not be mad at them for long. They still wanted to play cooks, but with different things. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play dress-up with their mom's clothes. They have a big box of hats, scarves, shoes and bags. They can make many styles with them. + +One day, they hear their mom say, "We have to go to the store soon. Get ready, kids!" Sara and Ben want to go to the store too. They rush to the box and pick their favorite things. Sara puts on a high hat, a long scarf and a big bag. Ben puts on a high hat, a big coat and a shiny belt. + +They run to their mom and say, "Look at us, mom! We have style!" Their mom smiles and says, "You do have style, my darlings. But those clothes are too big and too warm for today. It is sunny and hot outside. Let's find something else to wear, okay?" + +Sara and Ben nod and go back to the box. They take off their high hats and big clothes. They put on sun hats and light clothes. They still have style, but now they are ready for the store. They hold their mom's hand and walk to the car. They are happy and excited. They wonder what they will see at the store. +Lily loved to dance. She danced every day in her room, in the garden, and sometimes in the kitchen. She danced with her dolls, her teddy bear, and her dog. She danced when she was happy, when she was sad, and when she was bored. + +One day, her mom told her that there was a dance show at school. She asked Lily if she wanted to join. Lily was very excited. She said yes, yes, yes. She wanted to show everyone how she could dance. + +She practiced a lot with her mom and her friends. They picked a song, a dress, and a hat. They learned the steps, the turns, and the jumps. They had fun and worked hard. + +The day of the show came. Lily was nervous and happy. She put on her beautiful dress and her hat. She held her mom's hand and walked to the stage. She saw a lot of people in the seats. She saw her dad, her grandma, and her teacher. She smiled and waved. + +The music started. Lily and her friends began to dance. They danced with joy, with grace, and with confidence. They danced as a team, as friends, and as stars. They danced their best. + +The music ended. The people clapped and cheered. Lily and her friends bowed and hugged. They felt proud and happy. They had a success. They had a dance. +Lily liked to play the trumpet. She had a big trumpet that made loud sounds. She played it every day in her room. She wanted to play it for her friends at school. + +One day, she brought her trumpet to school. She was very happy. She wanted to show her friends how well she could play. She thought they would like her trumpet too. + +But when she got to school, she saw that some of her friends had other things. Ben had a ball. Mia had a doll. Sam had a car. They were playing with their things and having fun. They did not look at Lily and her trumpet. + +Lily felt sad. She wanted to play with her friends, but they did not want to play with her trumpet. She sat on a bench and played her trumpet by herself. She made sad sounds. + +Then, she saw Max. Max was a new boy. He did not have any friends. He did not have any things. He looked at Lily and her trumpet. He smiled. + +"Hi, I'm Max. Can I play with you?" he asked. + +Lily looked at Max. He seemed nice. She smiled back. + +"Hi, I'm Lily. Sure, you can play with me. Do you like the trumpet?" she asked. + +"Yes, I do. I think it's cool. Can you teach me how to play it?" he asked. + +Lily nodded. She was happy. She gave Max her trumpet. She showed him how to hold it and blow it. They played the trumpet together. They made happy sounds. + +Soon, their sounds caught the attention of the other kids. They stopped playing with their things and came over to Lily and Max. They watched them play the trumpet. They clapped and cheered. + +"Wow, you are good at the trumpet!" Ben said. + +"Can I try it too?" Mia asked. + +"Me too!" Sam said. + +Lily and Max looked at each other. They smiled. They shared their trumpet with the other kids. They took turns playing it and listening to it. They had fun. + +Lily and Max became popular. They made many friends. They played the trumpet every day. They were happy. +Tom and Lily wanted to go to the store. They liked to look at the toys and books there. But their mom said they had to clean their room first. Their room was filthy. There were clothes, toys, and papers everywhere. + +"Let's march to the store!" Tom said. He put on his hat and grabbed his toy drum. "We can pretend we are soldiers and the store is our castle." + +"No, Tom, we have to listen to mom," Lily said. She picked up a doll and put it in a box. "She said we can go to the store after we clean our room. It won't take long if we help each other." + +"But I don't want to clean, I want to march!" Tom said. He banged his drum and started to walk out of the door. "Come on, Lily, march with me!" + +"Tom, stop!" Lily said. She ran after him and grabbed his arm. "You can't go to the store by yourself. It's too far and too dangerous. And mom will be angry if she finds out. Please, Tom, come back and help me clean." + +Tom looked at Lily and saw that she was sad and scared. He felt sorry for making her feel that way. He also remembered that mom was nice and always gave them hugs and snacks. He didn't want to make mom angry either. + +"Okay, Lily, I'm sorry," Tom said. He put down his drum and took off his hat. "Let's clean our room together. Then we can march to the store with mom and have fun." + +Lily smiled and hugged Tom. She was happy that he changed his mind. They worked together and cleaned their room. It was not so hard or boring when they did it together. They even sang a song while they cleaned. + +Soon, their room was tidy and neat. Mom came and saw their room. She was proud and happy. She gave them hugs and kisses and said they could go to the store with her. + +Tom and Lily put on their hats and grabbed their drums. They marched to the store with mom. They looked at the toys and books and had fun. They were glad they listened to mom and cleaned their room. They were good children and good soldiers. +Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play with toys and make music. They have a band. Sara plays the drum and Tom plays the guitar. They have fun. + +One day, Sara and Tom go to the park. They see a big slide. They want to go on the slide. But there is a problem. There is only one slide and many kids. They have to wait and take turns. + +Sara and Tom are sad. They do not like to wait. They want to play. They look at their toys. They have an idea. + +"Hey, Tom, why don't we share our toys with the other kids?" Sara says. "Maybe they will like to play with us and make music." + +"That is a good idea, Sara," Tom says. "Let's share our toys and make new friends." + +Sara and Tom go to the other kids. They ask them if they want to play with their drum and guitar. The other kids are happy. They say yes. They take the toys and try them. They make sounds and noises. They laugh and smile. + +Sara and Tom are glad. They see that sharing is fun. They make new friends and have a band. They play and make music. They forget about the slide. They have fun. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play together. Today, they go to the park with their moms. The park has a big slide, a swing, and a sandbox. + +Anna wants to play in the sandbox. She likes to make castles and cakes with the sand. She has a bucket and a shovel. She says to Ben, "Come, play with me in the sandbox. We can make a big castle." + +Ben wants to play on the slide. He likes to go fast and feel the wind. He has a red hat and a blue coat. He says to Anna, "No, come, play with me on the slide. We can go down and up and down again." + +Anna and Ben do not agree. They look at each other. They do not know what to do. They want to play together, but they like different things. + +Their moms see them. They smile and say, "Why don't you take turns? You can both choose what you want to play, and then switch. That way, you can have fun and share." + +Anna and Ben think this is a good idea. They nod and say, "Okay, let's do that." They decide that Anna will go first. She chooses to play in the sandbox. Ben goes with her. He helps her make a big castle. They have fun. + +Then, it is Ben's turn. He chooses to play on the slide. Anna goes with him. She tries to go fast and feel the wind. They have fun. + +After a while, they see a big cloud in the sky. It is dark and gray. It starts to rain. The rain is cold and wet. It makes the slide slippery and the sand sticky. Anna and Ben do not like the rain. They run to their moms. Their moms have umbrellas and watches. + +Their moms say, "Look at the time. It is late. We have to go home. Did you have fun at the park?" + +Anna and Ben say, "Yes, we did. We played in the sandbox and on the slide. We took turns and shared. We are good friends." + +Their moms say, "We are glad to hear that. You are good friends. And you are very wet. Let's go home and get dry and warm." + +Anna and Ben say, "Okay, let's go home." They hug each other and say, "Bye, see you soon." They go home with their moms. They are happy. +Tim and Anna like to play with rubber. They have many rubber toys, like balls, ducks and cars. They also have rubber bands, that they can stretch and twist. + +One day, Tim and Anna find a big rubber sheet in the garage. They think it is fun to cut it with scissors. They cut out shapes, like stars, hearts and circles. They make a necklace for Anna and a belt for Tim. + +But they do not see that Dad is watching them. Dad is angry, because the rubber sheet is his. He needs it for his work. He says, "Tim and Anna, what are you doing? You are not allowed to cut my rubber sheet! It is very important and expensive. You are very naughty!" + +Tim and Anna are scared and sorry. They did not know that the rubber sheet was Dad's. They say, "We are sorry, Dad. We did not mean to cut your rubber sheet. We just wanted to play. Please do not be mad at us." + +Dad is still angry, but he loves Tim and Anna. He says, "I know you did not mean to cut my rubber sheet, but you should not touch things that are not yours. You could have hurt yourselves with the scissors. And you wasted my rubber sheet. Now I have to buy a new one. You have to learn to be careful and respectful." + +Tim and Anna feel bad. They want to make Dad happy. They say, "We are sorry, Dad. We will be careful and respectful. We will not touch your things without asking. We will help you buy a new rubber sheet. We are grateful for you, Dad. We love you." + +Dad smiles and hugs Tim and Anna. He says, "I love you too, Tim and Anna. I am grateful for you, too. You are my sweet children. But next time, please play with your own rubber toys, OK?" + +Tim and Anna nod and say, "OK, Dad. We will play with our own rubber toys. And we will share them with you, if you want." + +Dad laughs and says, "Thank you, Tim and Anna. That is very kind of you. But I think I will stick to my own rubber sheet, thank you very much." +Lily and Ben were playing with their toy tools. They liked to pretend they were builders and fix things. Lily had a hammer and some nails. Ben had a saw and some wood. + +"Look, I made a table!" Ben said, showing Lily his work. He had sawed four pieces of wood and nailed them together. + +"That's good, Ben!" Lily said. "Can I try your saw?" + +"OK, but be careful. It's sharp." Ben said, handing Lily his saw. + +Lily took the saw and tried to cut a piece of wood. But she did not know how to use it well. She slipped and hit Ben's table with the saw. She made a big scratch on it. + +"Ow!" Ben said. "You ruined my table! That was not nice, Lily!" + +Lily felt bad. She did not mean to hurt Ben's table. She was sorry. + +"I'm sorry, Ben. I did not want to do that. I was trying to make something too." Lily said. + +Ben looked at his table. He was still sad, but he saw that Lily was sad too. He remembered that Lily was his friend. She was reliable. She always played with him and shared her toys. She did not lie or take things. + +"It's OK, Lily. I forgive you. You did not do it on purpose. We can fix the table together." Ben said. + +Lily smiled. She was happy that Ben forgave her. She hugged him and said, "Thank you, Ben. You are a good friend. I will be more careful next time." + +They got their tools and worked on the table. They made it look nice again. They were proud of their work. They had fun playing with their toy tools. They were happy. +Ben and Mia liked to play with their grandpa's old toys. He had a big box of them in the attic. One day, they found a shiny metal chain in the box. It had many links and made a clinking sound when they moved it. + +"Wow, look at this chain!" Ben said. "It is so long and heavy. I wonder what it was for." + +"Maybe it was for a dragon," Mia said. "A big, scary dragon that grandpa had to fight." + +They decided to pretend that the chain was a dragon's tail. They took turns holding one end of the chain and dragging it around the attic. They made roaring noises and tried to scare each other. + +"Roar! I am the ancient dragon!" Ben shouted. "You can't catch me!" + +"Mia is the brave knight!" Mia said. "She will chase you and save the princess!" + +They had a lot of fun with the chain. But then, they heard their mom calling them for lunch. + +"Come on, kids, it's time to eat!" she said. + +They put the chain back in the box and ran downstairs. They told their mom about their game. + +"That sounds like a fun game," she said. "But you know, that chain is very old and rusty. It might break or hurt you. Why don't you let me improve it for you?" + +"Improve it? How?" Ben asked. + +"Well, I can clean it and polish it and make it look new again. And I can add some beads and ribbons and make it look pretty. Then you can use it as a necklace or a belt or a bracelet. What do you think?" she said. + +Ben and Mia thought about it. They liked the idea of having a new toy. But they also liked the chain the way it was. + +"Can we keep it as a dragon's tail too?" Mia asked. + +"Of course, you can," their mom said. "You can play with it however you like. It's your chain, after all." + +Ben and Mia smiled. They thanked their mom and gave her a hug. They were happy to have a chain that was both ancient and improved. +Anna and Ben were playing in the forest. They liked to find things and make forts. They saw a big log that was good for their fort. But the log was too heavy for them to lift. + +"Let's pull the log," Anna said. "We can use this rope." + +She tied one end of the rope to the log and gave the other end to Ben. They both pulled hard, but the log did not move. + +"It's too hard," Ben said. "We need help." + +They looked around and saw a big horse. The horse was eating grass. He looked friendly and strong. + +"Hello, horse," Anna said. "Can you help us pull the log? We want to make a fort." + +The horse looked at them and nodded. He walked over to the log and sniffed it. He saw the rope and bit it with his teeth. + +"Thank you, horse," Ben said. "You are very nice." + +The horse pulled the rope and the log moved. Anna and Ben cheered. They followed the horse and the log to a good spot for their fort. + +They untied the rope and thanked the horse again. The horse smiled and went back to his grass. + +Anna and Ben started to build their fort with the log and other things they found. They were happy and proud. They had a big log, a good friend, and a lot of fun. +Anna liked to plan things. She liked to make lists and draw pictures of what she wanted to do. She had a big plan for today. She wanted to visit her grandma, who was elderly and lived in a small house. She wanted to show her grandma her new computer, which was a gift from her dad. She wanted to play games and watch videos on the computer with her grandma. + +She packed her backpack with her computer, some snacks, and a book. She put on her coat and shoes and waited for her mom to drive her to grandma's house. She was very excited and happy. + +When she got to grandma's house, she ran to the door and knocked. Grandma opened the door and smiled. She hugged Anna and said, "Hello, my dear. I'm so glad to see you. What did you bring me?" + +Anna said, "I brought you my new computer, grandma. It's very fun and cool. You can do many things with it. Do you want to see?" + +Grandma said, "Of course, I want to see. Come in, come in. Let's go to the living room and set it up." + +They went to the living room and Anna took out her computer from her backpack. She plugged it in and turned it on. She showed grandma how to use the mouse and the keyboard. She opened some games and videos and played them with grandma. Grandma was amazed and delighted. She said, "This is wonderful, Anna. You are very smart and kind. Thank you for sharing your computer with me." + +Anna said, "You're welcome, grandma. I love you. I'm happy to plan this visit with you." + +They hugged and laughed and enjoyed their time together. Anna's plan was a success. +One day, a fat kid named Ben went to the park with his mom. He saw a big rock that looked like a hill. He wanted to climb on it and play. + +"Mom, can I go on the rock?" he asked. + +"Sure, but be careful. Don't fall down," his mom said. + +Ben ran to the rock and started to climb. He felt strong and happy. He reached the top and looked around. He saw other kids playing on the swings, the slide, and the sandbox. He waved to them and shouted, "Hi, I'm on the rock!" + +But some of the kids did not wave back. They laughed at him and said, "Look at the fat kid on the rock. He is so silly. He can't play with us. He is too big and slow." + +Ben felt sad and angry. He did not like the mean kids. He wanted to have fun and make friends. He thought of a way to show them that he was not silly. He decided to rock the rock. + +He moved his body from side to side, making the rock shake. He rocked harder and harder, until the rock started to roll. He screamed, "Whee, I'm rocking the rock!" + +The mean kids stopped laughing. They were scared. They saw the rock rolling towards them. They ran away, screaming, "Help, the fat kid is rocking the rock!" + +Ben's mom saw what was happening. She ran to Ben and grabbed him. She lifted him off the rock and hugged him. + +"Ben, what are you doing? You could have hurt yourself and the other kids. That was very dangerous and naughty," she said. + +Ben felt sorry. He did not mean to hurt anyone. He just wanted to have fun and make friends. + +"I'm sorry, mom. I was mad at the mean kids. They called me fat and silly. They did not want to play with me," he said. + +"Ben, you are not fat and silly. You are strong and smart. You don't need to rock the rock to prove it. You just need to be yourself and be kind. There are many kids who would love to play with you. You just have to find them and say hello," she said. + +Ben nodded. He understood. He hugged his mom and said, "I love you, mom. Thank you for saving me." + +"I love you too, Ben. You are my brave and sweet boy. Now, let's go and find some nice kids to play with. And no more rocking the rock, okay?" she said. + +"Okay, mom. No more rocking the rock," he said. +Sara and Ben were twins who liked to play in their big house. They had many toys and games, but their favorite place was the attic. The attic was a chamber with many old things that their parents did not use. Sara and Ben liked to pretend that the things were treasures and secrets. + +One day, they found a big box in the corner of the chamber. It was dusty and heavy, and they did not know what was inside. Sara wanted to open it, but Ben was scared. He thought there might be a monster or a spider in the box. + +"Sara, don't open it! It might be bad!" Ben said. + +"No, Ben, it might be good! Maybe there is a gift or a surprise in the box. Don't you want to see?" Sara said. She tried to encourage Ben to be brave and curious. + +"But what if it is dirty or smelly or scary?" Ben said. He did not like things that were not clean and nice. + +Sara smiled and hugged Ben. She said, "Don't worry, Ben. I will open it with you. We can do it together. And if it is dirty or smelly or scary, we can close it and run away. But maybe it is not. Maybe it is fun and cool and amazing. Let's find out!" + +Sara and Ben held hands and lifted the lid of the box. They looked inside and gasped. The box was full of colorful books and pictures and toys. They were old, but they were clean and beautiful. Sara and Ben felt happy and excited. They thanked each other for being brave and curious. They took out the books and pictures and toys and played with them in the chamber. They had a lot of fun and learned a lot of new things. They decided that the box was the best treasure and secret in the attic. +Lila and Ben liked to play sport in the park. They liked to run and kick and throw. They had a ball and a net and a bat. They had fun with sport. + +One day, it was very cold in the park. The grass was white and hard. The air was like ice. Lila and Ben wore hats and coats and gloves. They still wanted to play sport. + +They tried to kick the ball, but it was too hard. It hurt their feet. They tried to throw the ball, but it was too slippery. It fell on the ground. They tried to hit the ball with the bat, but it was too heavy. It made a loud noise. + +Lila and Ben were troubled. They did not like sport in the cold. They wanted to go home and drink hot cocoa. But then they saw something new. The pond in the park was frozen. It was like a big mirror. They saw some people on the pond. They had shoes with blades. They slid and spun and jumped. They looked happy. + +Lila and Ben wanted to try. They asked their mom if they could go on the pond. Their mom said yes, but they had to be careful. She gave them some shoes with blades. They put them on and went on the pond. They held hands and tried to slide. They were scared at first, but then they liked it. They felt the wind on their faces. They laughed and shouted. + +"Look, mom, we are playing a new sport!" Lila said. + +"It's called ice skating, sweetie. Do you like it?" Mom said. + +"Yes, we like it! It's fun to freeze and slide!" Ben said. + +Lila and Ben learned a new sport. They forgot about the cold. They had fun with ice skating. They were not troubled anymore. +Sara and Ben like to play with puzzles. They have many puzzles with animals, cars, and flowers. Sara is good at puzzles. She can find the right pieces and put them together. Ben is not so good at puzzles. He gets confused and tries to force the wrong pieces. + +One day, Sara and Ben are playing with a puzzle of a farm. Sara has almost finished the puzzle. She only needs one piece to complete the picture of a cow. She looks for the piece in the box, but she cannot find it. She asks Ben, "Do you have the piece of the cow?" + +Ben looks at his pile of pieces. He sees one piece that looks like the cow's ear. He thinks it is the piece Sara needs. He gives it to her and says, "Here, this is the piece of the cow." + +Sara takes the piece and tries to fit it in the puzzle. But it does not fit. It is too big and the shape is wrong. Sara says, "No, this is not the piece of the cow. This is the piece of the horse. See, it has a mane and a bridle. The cow has horns and a bell." + +Ben does not see the difference. He shrugs and says, "They look the same to me. I don't like puzzles. They are too hard." + +Sara sighs and says, "Puzzles are fun. You just have to look carefully and match the colors and shapes. Do you want me to help you?" + +Ben nods and says, "Yes, please. Maybe you can teach me how to do puzzles." + +Sara smiles and says, "Okay, let's do this puzzle together. I will show you how to find the pieces. Then we can do another puzzle of a zoo. That one has more animals and colors." + +Ben is glad that Sara is nice to him. He likes to learn from her. He thinks puzzles are not so bad after all. He says, "Thank you, Sara. You are a good friend." + +Sara says, "You're welcome, Ben. You are a good friend too." +Lila liked to play with her doll. Her doll had a blue dress and yellow hair. She called her doll Anna. Lila and Anna did many things together. They had tea parties, read books, and sang songs. + +One day, Lila saw a big boy in the park. He had a red ball and a mean face. He came near Lila and Anna. He said, "What are you doing with that silly doll? Dolls are for babies. You are a baby." He laughed and kicked Anna. Anna flew in the air and landed on the grass. + +Lila was very sad and angry. She loved Anna. She did not like the big boy. She said, "You are mean. Anna is not silly. She is my friend. You are not my friend. Go away." She picked up a stick and ran to the big boy. She struck him on the leg with the stick. The big boy cried and ran away. + +Lila hugged Anna. She said, "I'm sorry, Anna. Are you okay?" She checked Anna's dress and hair. They were normal. She said, "You are normal. You are beautiful. You are my friend. I love you." She kissed Anna and smiled. They went back to their tea party. They were happy. +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They had a big box of toys and they liked to make up stories with them. Lily had a doll and Ben had a car. They pretended that the doll was a princess and the car was a dragon. + +"Help, help!" Lily said in a high voice. "The dragon is chasing me!" + +"Roar!" Ben said in a low voice. "I will catch you and eat you!" + +Lily ran away from Ben and hid behind a tree. She saw a shiny object on the ground. It was a ring with a red stone. She picked it up and put it on her finger. + +"Wow, this is pretty!" she said. "Maybe it is magic!" + +Ben saw Lily and ran towards her. He wanted to see the ring too. + +"Let me see, let me see!" he said. + +"No, it is mine!" Lily said. "I found it!" + +They started to pull the ring from each other. They did not see the big hole in the ground. They fell into the hole and landed on some leaves. + +"Ouch!" they both said. "That hurt!" + +They looked around and saw that they were in a dark and deep hole. They could not see the sky or the garden. They felt dizzy and scared. + +"Where are we?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know," Ben said. "Maybe we are in a cave." + +They heard a loud noise. It was a dog barking. It was Spot, their pet dog. He had seen them fall into the hole and he wanted to help them. + +"Spot, Spot!" they shouted. "We are here! Help us!" + +Spot ran to the hole and looked down. He saw Lily and Ben and wagged his tail. He wanted to play with them. He saw the ring on Lily's finger and thought it was a toy. He jumped into the hole and tried to grab the ring. + +"Hey, stop it!" Lily said. "That is not a toy! That is a magic ring!" + +Spot did not listen. He bit the ring and pulled it off Lily's finger. He ran out of the hole and started to dig a hole in the ground. He wanted to bury the ring and keep it for himself. + +"Spot, come back!" Ben said. "Give us the ring! We need it to get out of here!" + +But Spot did not come back. He buried the ring and ran away. He was happy and proud. + +Lily and Ben were sad and angry. They did not have the ring and they did not know how to get out of the hole. They wished they had not fought over the ring. They wished they had shared it and played nicely. They wished they had not fallen into the hole. They wished they were back in the garden. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play outside. Today, they see many orange leaves on the ground. They pick up some leaves and show them to each other. + +"Look, Ben, this leaf is orange and big. It has many points," Lily says. + +"Wow, Lily, this leaf is orange and small. It has a hole in it," Ben says. + +They wonder why the leaves are orange. They ask their teacher, Miss Rose. + +"Miss Rose, why are the leaves orange?" Lily asks. + +"Because it is fall, Lily. Fall is a season. There are four seasons in a year: winter, spring, summer, and fall. In fall, the leaves change color and fall from the trees," Miss Rose explains. + +"Oh, I understand. Fall is a season with orange leaves," Lily says. + +"Me too. I understand. Fall is a season with orange leaves and cool air," Ben says. + +They thank Miss Rose and go back to play. They make a pile of orange leaves and jump in it. They laugh and have fun. They like fall. Fall is their favorite season. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play outside. But today, it is rain. Rain makes the ground wet and muddy. Lily and Tom cannot play outside. + +They are sad. They look out the window and see the rain. They want to do something fun. + +"Let's play with our toys," Lily says. She has a doll and a teddy bear. Tom has a car and a train. + +"OK," Tom says. He likes to play with his toys. They go to Lily's room and play with their toys. They make noises and stories. + +They have fun. But after a while, they get bored. They want to do something else. + +"Let's draw," Tom says. He has crayons and paper. Lily likes to draw too. They go to the table and draw with their crayons. They draw rain and sun and flowers and animals. + +They have fun. But after a while, they get bored. They want to do something else. + +"Let's make cookies," Lily says. She has flour and sugar and eggs and butter. Tom likes to make cookies too. They go to the kitchen and ask Lily's mom if they can make cookies. + +"OK," Lily's mom says. "But you have to be careful and clean." She helps them to make cookies. They mix and roll and cut and bake. + +They have fun. And they do not get bored. They make yummy cookies. They eat some and share some with Lily's mom. + +They are happy. They do not mind the rain. They have fun inside. They do many things. They are good friends. +Lily and Max were playing in the park. They liked to slide and swing and run. But then the sky became dark and the rain came. The rain was cold and wet and made them sad. + +"Let's go home, Lily," Max said. "We can play inside with our toys." + +"OK, Max," Lily said. "But first, let's say bye to the ducks." + +They ran to the pond where the ducks lived. The ducks were not sad. They liked the rain. They swam and quacked and splashed. Lily and Max smiled and waved at them. + +"Bye, ducks," they said. "We will come back when the sun is out." + +They walked to the gate where their mom was waiting. She had a big umbrella and a warm hug for them. + +"Did you have fun, my loves?" she asked. + +"Yes, mom," they said. "But we are wet and cold." + +Mom took them to the car and gave them a towel. She helped them dry their hair and their clothes. She also gave them a cookie and a juice. + +"Rub your hands, Lily and Max," she said. "That will make them warm." + +They rubbed their hands and ate their cookies. They felt better. They looked out the window and saw the rain. They also saw a brown dog. The dog was wet and dirty. He shook his fur and ran away. + +"Look, mom," Lily said. "A brown dog." + +"I see him, Lily," mom said. "He is looking for a dry place." + +"Maybe he can come with us, mom," Max said. "We can rub him and make him warm." + +Mom smiled and shook her head. + +"No, Max," she said. "He has a home and a family. They will take care of him. We have to go to our home and our family. They are waiting for us." + +Lily and Max nodded. They understood. They were happy to go home. They liked the rain, but they liked their home more. +It was a cold night, but Lily was not sleepy. She put on her warm coat and boots and went outside. She wanted to see the stars and the moon. She walked to the big hill behind her house and climbed to the top. There she saw something amazing. + +On the other side of the hill, there was a group of reindeer. They had big horns and soft fur. They were eating grass and resting. They looked peaceful and happy. Lily gazed at them with wonder. She had never seen reindeer before. She wanted to get closer and touch them. + +She walked slowly and quietly towards the reindeer. She hoped they would not run away. She reached out her hand to the nearest one. It had a red nose and a friendly face. It looked at her and made a soft sound. Lily smiled and said, "Hello, reindeer. You are so pretty. Can I be your friend?" + +The reindeer nodded and licked her hand. It was warm and wet. Lily giggled and stroked its fur. The other reindeer came closer and sniffed her. They were curious and gentle. Lily felt happy and safe. She sat down on the grass and cuddled with the reindeer. They made a circle around her and kept her warm. + +Lily gazed at the stars and the moon again. They were bright and beautiful. She felt like she was in a dream. She whispered, "Thank you, reindeer. You are the best gift ever. I love you." The reindeer snuggled with her and made soft sounds. They loved her too. They stayed together until Lily fell asleep. +Lily liked to help Mommy in the kitchen. She liked to put the dirty plates and cups in the dishwasher. She liked to press the buttons and hear the water splash. She liked to see the dishes come out clean and shiny. + +One day, Mommy was very busy. She had to make a big cake for Daddy's birthday. She had to mix the flour and the eggs and the sugar. She had to put the cake in the oven and watch the timer. She had to make the frosting and the decorations. She had no time to do the dishes. + +Lily saw the sink full of dirty dishes. She wanted to help Mommy. She said, "Mommy, can I put the dishes in the dishwasher?" + +Mommy smiled and said, "Thank you, Lily. That would be very helpful. But you have to be careful. Some dishes are sharp and some are hot. And you have to ask me before you press the buttons, okay?" + +Lily nodded and said, "Okay, Mommy. I will be careful and I will ask you." She took a dish and walked to the dishwasher. She opened the door and put the dish inside. She did the same with the other dishes. She was very proud of herself. + +Mommy finished the cake and took it out of the oven. She let it cool down and then put the frosting and the decorations on it. She wrote "Happy Birthday Daddy" with red letters. She looked at the cake and smiled. It was beautiful. + +She looked at Lily and smiled. She saw the dishwasher full of dishes. She said, "Lily, you did a great job. You are such a good helper. I'm so happy you are my daughter." + +Lily ran to Mommy and hugged her. She said, "I love you, Mommy. You are the best." + +They hugged and kissed. They felt peaceful and happy. They waited for Daddy to come home and see the cake. They knew he would be very surprised and very happy too. +Lily and Sam love to play with trains. They have many trains of different colors and sizes. They like to make tracks on the floor and pretend they are drivers. + +One day, they find a big black train in the toy box. It is shiny and has a loud whistle. Lily and Sam want to play with it, but they don't know how to make it move. + +"Maybe we need to push it," Lily says. She puts the train on the track and pushes it with her hand. The train moves a little, but then it stops. + +"Let me try," Sam says. He pushes the train harder, but it still doesn't go far. He pushes it again and again, but it only makes a squeak. + +"This train is broken," Sam says. He is sad and angry. He throws the train on the floor and stomps away. + +Lily picks up the train and looks at it. She sees a small button on the side. She wonders what it does. She presses the button and hears a click. + +Suddenly, the train starts to move by itself. It goes faster and faster on the track. It makes a loud whistle and a puff of smoke. Lily is surprised and happy. She runs after the train and laughs. + +"Sam, Sam, look!" she calls. "The train is not broken. It is magic!" + +Sam hears Lily and comes back. He sees the black train zooming around the room. He is amazed and excited. He joins Lily and they play with the train together. + +They have fun with the black train until it is time for dinner. They put the train back in the toy box and say goodbye to it. + +"Thank you, black train," they say. "You are the best train ever." +Lily and Ben like to play with their fish. They have a big tank with many fish of different colors and shapes. They feed them every day and watch them swim and hide. + +One day, Lily and Ben see that one of their fish is not moving. It is lying on the bottom of the tank, with its eyes closed. They touch the glass and call its name, but it does not answer. + +"Mama, mama, come here!" Lily shouts. "Our fish is broken!" + +Mama comes and looks at the tank. She sees the fish and sighs. She hugs Lily and Ben and says, "I'm sorry, my loves. Your fish is not broken. It is dead. That means it cannot live anymore. It is very sad, but it happens sometimes." + +Lily and Ben do not understand. They ask, "Why is it dead? Can we fix it? Can we get a new one?" + +Mama shakes her head. She says, "No, we cannot fix it. It is not like a toy that can be mended. And we cannot get a new one that is the same. Every fish is unique and special. We have to say goodbye to it and thank it for being our friend." + +Lily and Ben weep. They love their fish and do not want to lose it. Mama wipes their tears and says, "It's okay to weep. It shows that you care. But we can also remember the good times we had with our fish. How it made us smile and wonder. How it was part of our family." + +Mama takes the fish out of the tank and puts it in a small box. She says, "Let's go to the garden and bury it. We can make a nice spot for it and plant some flowers. We can visit it anytime and talk to it. It will always be in our hearts." + +Lily and Ben nod. They hold the box and follow Mama to the garden. They dig a hole and put the box in it. They cover it with dirt and stones. They pick some flowers and put them on top. They say, "Goodbye, fish. We love you. Thank you for being our friend." + +They hug each other and Mama. They feel sad, but also grateful. They still have their other fish and each other. They go back to the house and look at the tank. They smile and wave at their fish. They know they are not alone. +Sara and Ben were bored. They had nothing to do. They looked out the window and saw the weather. It was raining hard. The sky was gray and the wind was loud. They did not like the weather. It was disgusting. + +"Let's observe something fun," Sara said to Ben. "Maybe we can find a bug or a flower or a bird." + +"OK," Ben said. "But where can we observe them? We can't go outside. It's too wet and cold." + +Sara thought for a moment. Then she had an idea. She ran to the kitchen and got a big glass jar. She filled it with water and put some dirt and leaves and rocks in it. She made a mini pond. + +"Look, Ben," she said. "We can observe this. Maybe we can see some fish or frogs or snails." + +Ben was curious. He came to the jar and looked inside. He saw something moving. It was a worm. It was slimy and brown and wiggly. He did not like the worm. It was disgusting. + +"Yuck!" Ben said. "I don't want to observe that. It's gross. Let's observe something else." + +Sara shrugged. She did not mind the worm. She thought it was interesting. She looked around the room and saw a book. It had pictures of animals and plants and stars and planets. She picked it up and showed it to Ben. + +"Let's observe this," she said. "It has many things we can learn about. Maybe we can find something we like." + +Ben nodded. He liked books. He hoped they had something better than worms. He followed Sara to the couch and sat next to her. They opened the book and started to observe. They saw lions and roses and moons and rockets. They liked the book. It was not disgusting. It was amazing. +Lila and Ben are playing with scissors and paper. They cut out shapes and make animals and flowers. Lila likes to make light things, like stars and butterflies. Ben likes to make dark things, like bats and spiders. + +"Look at my star, Ben!" Lila says. "It is light and shiny. Do you like it?" + +"It is okay, Lila," Ben says. "But I like my spider more. It is dark and scary. Do you want to see it?" + +Lila nods. She is not afraid of spiders. She likes all animals. Ben shows her his spider. It has eight legs and two eyes. + +"It is very good, Ben," Lila says. "But I like my star more. It is light and pretty. Do you want to trade?" + +Ben shakes his head. He does not want to trade. He likes his spider more. He has an idea. + +"Let's sell our things, Lila," Ben says. "We can make a shop and sell them to other kids. Maybe they will give us money or candy or toys." + +Lila thinks. She likes her star, but she also likes money and candy and toys. She agrees. + +"Okay, Ben," Lila says. "Let's sell our things. But I want to sell my star for a lot. It is very light and special." + +They make a sign that says "Shop" and put it on a table. They put their things on the table. They wait for customers. They hope someone will buy their things. They are happy. They are playing with scissors and paper. +Anna and Ben went to the park with Mom. They saw a pond with many ducks. Anna and Ben liked the ducks. They wanted to feed them. + +"Mom, can we give them bread?" Anna asked. + +"Sorry, no. Bread is not good for ducks. We can give them some seeds instead." Mom said. She took out a bag of seeds from her backpack. + +Anna and Ben took some seeds and threw them to the ducks. The ducks came closer and ate the seeds. They made loud noises. Quack, quack, quack! + +"Look, Mom, they are calling us!" Ben said. + +"Yes, they are. They are saying thank you for the seeds." Mom said. + +Anna and Ben smiled. They liked the ducks. They liked their light feathers and their funny beaks. They wanted to stay with them. + +"Can we come back tomorrow, Mom?" Anna asked. + +"Sure, we can. The ducks will be happy to see you again." Mom said. + +Anna and Ben hugged Mom. They were happy. They loved the park and the ducks. +Anna and Ben are twins. They share a bedroom. They like to play with their toys, but they do not like to clean up. Their bedroom is very messy. There are blocks, dolls, cars, books, and clothes everywhere. + +One day, their mom comes to their bedroom. She is not happy. She says, "Anna and Ben, look at this mess! You need to fix your bedroom. It is not good to leave your toys and clothes on the floor. You could trip and hurt yourself. And where will you sleep tonight?" + +Anna and Ben feel sorry. They do not want to make their mom sad. They do not want to hurt themselves. They do not want to sleep on the floor. They say, "We are sorry, mom. We will fix our bedroom. We will put our toys and clothes in the right places. We will make our beds. We will make our bedroom good." + +Mom smiles. She says, "That is very good, Anna and Ben. I am proud of you. You are good twins. I will help you fix your bedroom. Then we can have a snack and read a story." + +Anna and Ben are happy. They hug their mom. They work together to fix their bedroom. They put their blocks in the box, their dolls in the basket, their cars in the drawer, their books on the shelf, and their clothes in the closet. They make their beds with their favorite blankets and pillows. They look at their bedroom. It is clean and neat. It is good. + +They say, "We did it, mom. We fixed our bedroom. It looks good. We feel good." + +Mom says, "You did a great job, Anna and Ben. I am very happy. You fixed your bedroom. It looks good. You are good. Now let's have a snack and read a story." + +They go to the kitchen. They have milk and cookies. They go to the living room. They sit on the couch. Mom reads them a story. They listen and laugh. They are happy. They love their mom. They love their bedroom. They love each other. +Anna and Ben are twins. They have a birthday today. They are three years old. They are happy.

Happy birthday, our twins!" + +Anna and Ben hug them back. They say, "We love you, Mom and Dad. You are our value too. You are our fun. Thank you for our birthday!" + +They all celebrate. They eat cake and play with toys and read books and wear clothes. They are happy. They are a family. They have a birthday. +Lily and Ben were playing in the living room. They had many toys, but their favorite was the big armchair. They liked to pretend it was a spaceship, a castle, or a boat. Sometimes they would hide behind it and scare each other. + +One day, it was very cold outside. The wind was blowing and the snow was falling. Lily and Ben put on their coats and hats and went to the window. They saw the white flakes covering the ground and the trees. + +"Wow, look at the snow!" Lily said. "Can we go out and play?" + +Ben shook his head. "No, it's too cold. We might get sick. Let's stay inside and play with the armchair." + +They ran back to the living room and climbed on the armchair. They decided to pretend it was a sled. They held on to the sides and made whooshing noises. + +"We're going so fast!" Ben said. "Look out for the bumps!" + +They bounced up and down and laughed. They had so much fun. They felt warm and cozy on the armchair. + +The armchair was old and soft. It had a hole in the back and a stain on the seat. But Lily and Ben loved it. It was their best friend. It was reliable. It always made them happy. + +They played until their mom called them for lunch. They got off the armchair and gave it a hug. + +"Thank you, armchair," Lily said. "You're the best." + +"Yes, thank you, armchair," Ben said. "You're the best, too." + +They went to the kitchen and ate their soup and sandwiches. They looked out the window and saw the snow still falling. They shivered a little, but they smiled. They knew they had a warm and wonderful armchair waiting for them. +Lily liked to help her mom with the flowers. She would hold the vase and fill it with water. Then she would put the flowers in the vase and smell them. They were pretty and smelled good. + +One day, Lily saw a big vase on the shelf. It was shiny and had colors on it. Lily wanted to see it better. She climbed on a chair and reached for the vase. But the vase was heavy and Lily was not careful. She dropped the vase and it broke on the floor. + +"Oh no!" Lily cried. "Mom, I'm sorry, I broke the vase!" + +Mom heard the noise and came to see what happened. She saw the broken vase and the water and the flowers on the floor. She was sad and angry. + +"Lily, what did you do?" Mom asked. "That vase was very special. It was a gift from your grandma. You should have been more careful. You could have hurt yourself too." + +Lily felt bad. She did not mean to break the vase. She wanted to make Mom happy, not sad. She hugged Mom and said, "I'm sorry, Mom. I love you. I love Grandma too. Can we fix the vase?" + +Mom sighed and hugged Lily back. She said, "I love you too, Lily. But we can't fix the vase. It is too broken. We have to throw it away. Next time, please ask me before you touch something that is not yours. And be careful when you climb on chairs. OK?" + +Lily nodded and said, "OK, Mom. I will be careful. And I will ask you. I don't want to break anything else." + +Mom smiled and said, "That's good, Lily. Now let's clean up this mess and find another vase for the flowers. Maybe we can increase the water and make them last longer." + +Lily smiled too and said, "Yes, Mom. Let's do that. I like the flowers. They make me happy." + +Mom and Lily cleaned up the floor and found another vase. They put the flowers in the vase and put it on the table. They looked at the vase and the flowers and felt happy. They forgot about the broken vase and hugged each other. +Lila and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park near the river. The river was huge and made a loud sound. Sometimes they saw fish and ducks in the water. + +One day, Lila had to move to a new house far away. She was sad and so was Ben. They hugged and said goodbye. + +"I will miss you, Lila," Ben said. + +"I will miss you, too, Ben," Lila said. "Maybe we can write letters and draw pictures for each other." + +They smiled and waved as Lila got in the car with her mom and dad. + +Ben went back to the park and looked at the river. He felt lonely and wished Lila was there. He remembered the fun they had and the games they played. He hoped Lila was happy in her new house. + +He picked up a stick and threw it in the river. He watched it float away and said, "Bye, Lila. I hope to see you again soon." +Lila and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park and act like animals. Lila liked to act like a bird and Ben liked to act like a lion. They made noises and ran around the trees. + +One night, they saw a bright light in the sky. It was a comet. It looked like a star with a long tail. Lila and Ben were amazed. They wanted to see it closer. + +"Let's act like rockets and fly to the comet!" Lila said. + +"OK, but how?" Ben asked. + +"We can use our bikes and pretend they are rockets. Come on, follow me!" Lila said. + +They got on their bikes and pedaled fast. They made whoosh sounds and pretended they were flying. They felt wild and free. + +They reached the top of a hill and saw the comet again. It was bigger and brighter than before. They stopped their bikes and looked at it. + +"Wow, it's so beautiful!" Lila said. + +"It's so cool!" Ben said. + +They smiled and hugged. They felt happy and lucky. They had seen a comet and acted like rockets. They were best friends. +Jill likes to sing. She sings when she wakes up, when she eats, when she plays, and when she goes to bed. She sings loud and happy songs that make her feel good. + +One day, she finds a big pile of junk in the backyard. She sees old cans, boxes, bottles, and wires. She thinks they are interesting. She wonders what they are for and what she can do with them. + +She picks up a can and taps it with a stick. It makes a sound. She picks up another can and taps it with another stick. It makes a different sound. She taps more cans and makes more sounds. She likes the sounds. She starts to sing along with them. + +"Junk, junk, junk, I like to play with junk. Junk, junk, junk, I make music with junk. Junk, junk, junk, junk is fun!" + +She sings louder and louder. She does not hear her mom calling her. + +"Jill, Jill, where are you? It's time for lunch!" + +She does not hear her dad coming to the backyard. + +"Jill, Jill, what are you doing? You are making a mess!" + +She only hears her junk music and her singing. + +"Junk, junk, junk, I like to play with junk. Junk, junk, junk, I make music with junk. Junk, junk, junk, junk is fun!" + +Her dad sees her and smiles. He thinks she is creative and clever. He joins her and taps some cans with her. + +"Junk, junk, junk, we like to play with junk. Junk, junk, junk, we make music with junk. Junk, junk, junk, junk is fun!" + +They sing and play together. They have a good time. They hear mom calling them again. + +"Jill, Jill, dad, come on! Lunch is ready!" + +They stop singing and playing. They put the cans back in the pile. They go to the house. They wash their hands. They eat their lunch. They tell mom about their junk music. Mom thinks it is interesting. She says they can play with the junk again later. They are happy. They like to sing. +Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a red ball and a yellow bucket. They run and kick the ball. They laugh and have fun. + +They see a big fountain. The fountain has water that goes up and down. Sara and Ben think it is pretty. They want to see it closer. They go to the fountain. They see some coins in the water. They wonder why. + +"Look, Ben, shiny things!" Sara says. She points to the coins. + +"Maybe they are wishes," Ben says. He picks up a coin. He closes his eyes. He makes a wish. + +"What did you wish for?" Sara asks. + +"I wished for a big sandwich. I am hungry," Ben says. + +"That is a good wish. I am hungry too," Sara says. She picks up another coin. She closes her eyes. She makes a wish. + +"What did you wish for?" Ben asks. + +"I wished for a joke book. I like jokes. They make me laugh," Sara says. + +"That is a good wish. I like jokes too," Ben says. + +They put the coins back in the water. They hope their wishes come true. They hear a voice. + +"Hey, kids, what are you doing?" The voice belongs to a man. He is wearing a blue uniform. He has a badge. He is a guard. + +"We are making wishes," Sara says. + +"You can't do that. Those coins are not yours. They belong to the fountain. You have to leave them alone," the guard says. He is angry. + +Sara and Ben are scared. They drop the coins. They run away. They grab their ball and bucket. They look for a place to hide. + +They find a bench. They sit behind it. They are quiet. They hope the guard does not find them. + +They hear a splash. They peek over the bench. They see the guard. He is wet. He slipped on the coins. He fell in the fountain. He is not angry anymore. He is surprised. + +Sara and Ben giggle. They think it is funny. They think it is a joke. + +"Maybe that was your wish, Sara," Ben says. + +"Maybe that was your wish, Ben," Sara says. + +They laugh. They are not scared anymore. They are happy. They share their ball and bucket. They play in the park. They wait for their wishes to come true. +Lily and Ben were playing pirates in the garden. They had a big box full of treasure. They had coins, jewels, hats, and swords. They pretended to sail on a ship and fight other pirates. + +"Arrr, matey, this is the best treasure ever!" Lily said, holding a shiny necklace. + +"Arrr, indeed, captain!" Ben said, waving a sword. "But we have to watch out for the grumpy old crocodile. He lives in the pond and he wants our treasure." + +They looked at the pond and saw a big green head poking out of the water. It was Mr. Snappy, the crocodile. He had sharp teeth and a long tail. He did not like children playing near his pond. + +"Roar! Get away from my pond, you noisy pirates!" Mr. Snappy said. "Or I will eat you and your treasure!" + +Lily and Ben were scared. They did not want to be eaten by the crocodile. They ran to the house and knocked on the door. + +"Mum, mum, help us!" they cried. "There is a grumpy old crocodile in the pond and he wants our treasure!" + +Mum opened the door and saw Lily and Ben holding the box of treasure. She smiled and hugged them. + +"Don't worry, my little pirates," she said. "Mr. Snappy is not a real crocodile. He is a toy that daddy brought for you. He can talk and make noises, but he can't hurt you. He is just playing with you." + +Lily and Ben looked at each other and laughed. They realized that Mr. Snappy was not so scary after all. They thanked mum and ran back to the garden. They decided to share some of their treasure with Mr. Snappy and make him their friend. + +"Arrr, Mr. Snappy, do you want some treasure?" Lily asked, throwing him a coin. + +"Arrr, thank you, captain!" Mr. Snappy said, catching the coin. "You are very kind, pirates. Do you want to play with me?" + +"Arrr, yes, we do!" Ben said, throwing him a hat. "You are not so grumpy, crocodile. You are fun!" + +They played pirates and crocodile for a long time. They had a lot of fun and made a lot of noise. Mum watched them from the window and smiled. She was happy that they had such a great imagination and such a nice toy. She was glad that daddy had brought them such a wonderful treasure. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big tree with many leaves. They ran to the tree and looked at the ground. + +"Look, Tom, we have shadows!" Lily said. She pointed at the dark shapes on the grass. "They look like us, but they are flat and black." + +Tom nodded. He moved his arms and legs and saw his shadow do the same. He laughed. "They are funny. They follow us everywhere. Can we play with them?" + +Lily thought for a moment. She had an idea. "I suggest we play shadow tag. We try to touch each other's shadows with our feet. If you touch my shadow, I am it. If I touch your shadow, you are it. OK?" + +Tom agreed. He liked the idea. He said, "OK, let's play. You are it first. Count to ten and then chase me." + +Lily counted to ten and then ran after Tom. She tried to step on his shadow, but he was too fast. He dodged and turned and ran away. Lily did not give up. She ran faster and faster. + +They ran around the tree and the slide and the bench. They had fun. They did not notice the loud noise behind them. It was a big dog. It barked and growled and chased them too. It wanted to play, but it did not know the rules. + +Tom and Lily heard the noise and looked back. They saw the big dog. They were scared. They did not like the big dog. They ran to the fence and climbed over it. They left the park and the dog and their shadows behind. + +They ran to their house and knocked on the door. Their mom opened the door and hugged them. She asked them what happened. They told her about the park and the shadows and the big dog. + +Their mom said, "I'm glad you are safe. That was a scary dog. Next time, be careful and stay away from it. You can play with your shadows, but not with big dogs. OK?" + +Tom and Lily nodded. They said, "OK, mom. We are sorry. We love you." + +Their mom said, "I love you too. Now, how about some cookies and milk?" + +Tom and Lily smiled. They said, "Yes, please!" They went inside and ate some cookies and milk. They forgot about the park and the shadows and the big dog. They were happy. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and swing. They saw a stream with clear water and little fish. They wanted to see the fish closer, so they went to the edge of the stream. + +But Tom slipped on a wet rock and fell into the water. He was wet and cold and scared. He cried out loud. Lily ran to him and helped him out of the stream. She hugged him and said, "Don't cry, Tom. I'm here. You're safe." + +Lily comforted Tom and dried him with her coat. She gave him a cookie from her pocket and a smile. She said, "Let's go to the sun. It will warm you up. And look, there's a rainbow in the sky. It's so pretty and cheerful. It's like a gift for you." + +Tom stopped crying and looked at the rainbow. He smiled too. He said, "Thank you, Lily. You're a good friend. You made me feel better. The rainbow is beautiful. It's like a gift for us." + +Lily and Tom held hands and walked to the sun. They felt happy and warm.

They like to play on the farm. They see cows, pigs, chickens and sheep. They hear moo, oink, cluck and baa. They have fun. + +One day, they see a big bull. The bull is black and has horns. He looks strong and healthy. He is in a fence. Lila and Tom want to see him closer. + +"Let's go to the bull," Lila says. + +"No, he is too big and scary," Tom says. + +"But he is nice, look, he is eating grass," Lila says. + +She walks to the fence. Tom follows her. They are near the bull. The bull sees them. He stops eating. He lifts his head. He snorts. He makes a loud noise. Lila and Tom hear ROAR! + +They are afraid. They run away. They hear the bull run after them. He hits the fence. The fence shakes. Lila and Tom scream. + +"Help, help, the bull is angry!" they shout. + +The farmer hears them. He comes with his dog. He sees the bull. He calms him down. He fixes the fence. He goes to Lila and Tom. + +"Are you OK?" he asks. + +"Yes, we are OK, but we are sorry," Lila says. + +"We wanted to see the bull, but he roared at us," Tom says. + +The farmer smiles. He is not angry. + +"The bull is not mean, but he is not friendly either. He is very big and strong. He does not like strangers. He protects his cows. You should not go near him. He can hurt you. You should stay away from him. Do you understand?" he says. + +Lila and Tom nod. They understand. + +"OK, then. Come, I will show you the other animals. They are more gentle and friendly. You can pet them and feed them. But be careful and respectful. They are living beings, not toys. They have feelings and needs. They deserve love and care. Do you agree?" he says. + +Lila and Tom nod. They agree. + +They follow the farmer. They see the other animals. They pet them and feed them. They hear moo, oink, cluck and baa. They have fun. They learn.

Open the door, please." + +Ben and Lily looked for the key. But they could not find it. It was buried under their toys and books. They said, "Oh no! We lost the key. We can't unlock the door. We are sorry, mom and dad." + +Their mom and dad said, "That's not good. You were lazy. You did not clean up. You did not listen to us. Now we have to call the locksmith. He will come and unlock the door. But it will take some time. And it will cost money. You will have to help us pay for it. And you will have to clean up your room. Do you understand?" + +Ben and Lily said, "Yes, mom and dad. We understand. We are sorry. We will not be lazy again. We love you." + +Their mom and dad said, "We love you too. You are our family. But you have to learn to be responsible. And to take care of your things. And to respect our rules. Can you do that?" + +Ben and Lily said, "Yes, mom and dad. We can do that. We will do better next time." +Lily and her mom went to the store to buy a new safe. Lily wanted a safe to keep her toys and money in. She was anxious because she did not like the big store. It was loud and crowded and had many things she did not know. + +"Mom, can we go home soon?" Lily asked. + +"Not yet, sweetie. We have to find a safe first. A safe is a box that has a lock. You can put your things inside and no one can take them. It is good to have a safe, especially when we go on a trip," Mom explained. + +Lily nodded, but she still felt anxious. She held Mom's hand tight and looked around. She saw many boxes of different colors and sizes. Some had numbers, some had keys, some had buttons. Mom stopped at one that was pink and had a heart on it. + +"Look, Lily, this is a nice safe. It is just your size and it has a code. You can choose your own code and only you will know it. Do you like it?" Mom asked. + +Lily smiled. She liked the pink safe. It was pretty and it looked strong. She touched the heart and it beeped. + +"Yes, Mom, I like it. Can we buy it?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, honey. Let's buy it. Then we can go home and put your things inside. You will feel happy and safe," Mom said. + +They went to the cashier and paid for the safe.

He did not know why. + +He waited and waited for the doorbell to ring. He looked at the cake and the balloons. He looked at the pile of presents. He wanted to open them with his friends. He wanted to share his cake and his toys. He felt sad and angry. + +"Mom, where are my friends?" he asked. "Why are they not here?" + +Mom hugged him and said, "I'm sorry, Tom. There was a big storm last night. The roads are flooded. Your friends could not come. They called me and said they are sorry. They will come another day. They still love you." + +Tom did not like the storm. He did not like the water. He did not like being alone. He said, "But I want them here now. It's my birthday. It's not fair." + +Mom said, "I know, Tom. It's hard. But you are not alone. You have me and Dad and Grandma. We love you very much. We want to celebrate with you. Why don't we open your presents together? Maybe you will find something that will make you happy." + +Tom nodded. He liked presents. He hoped there was something good inside. He picked up the biggest box and tore off the paper. He saw a picture of a bike. A red bike with a bell and a basket. His eyes lit up. He loved bikes. + +"Wow! A bike! For me?" he exclaimed. + +"Yes, Tom. A bike for you. From Dad and me. Happy birthday, sweetie. We are so proud of you. You are growing up so fast." Mom said. + +Tom hugged Mom and Dad. He thanked them for the bike. He felt a little better. He wanted to try his bike. He asked, "Can I ride it outside?" + +Mom said, "Sure, Tom. But first, put on your helmet and your coat. It's cold and wet outside. And be careful. Don't go too fast." + +Tom put on his helmet and his coat. He ran outside with his bike. He felt the wind in his hair. He rang the bell. He smiled. He saw Grandma waving at him from the window. He waved back. He was not so lonely anymore. He had a bike. And he had a family.

"West is beautiful." + +"Yes, it is," the man says. "But it is also harsh. West is where the cold wind comes from. West is where the snow falls. West is where you need a hat and a coat." + +Tom and Jen shiver. They feel the cold wind. They do not like the cold. + +"Can we go back?" Jen asks. "We miss the park.

We can use it for the wheels," Tom says. + +"Good idea, Tom. But the wire is dirty. We need to clean it first," Ann says. + +They go to the hose and wash the wire. Then they cut it into four pieces. They make holes in the box and put the wire through them. Now they have a car with wire wheels. + +"Wow, our car is great. Let's go for a ride," Tom says. + +They get inside the box and pretend to drive. They make noises like a car. They go around the yard and have fun. + +But then they see a big dog. The dog is barking and running towards them. The dog wants to play, but Tom and Ann are scared. + +"Help, help, a dog!" Tom shouts. + +"Go away, dog. This is our car.

"Mom, help!" + +Mom heard the noise and came to the room. She saw Lily and Ben fighting over the teddy bear and scolded them. + +"What are you two doing?" Mom asked. "Why are you pinching and shouting at each other? That's not nice. You should share and be kind to each other." + +She took the teddy bear from Ben and gave it back to Lily. She hugged them both and told them to say sorry. + +"I'm sorry, Lily," Ben said. "I was just playing. I didn't mean to pinch you." + +"I'm sorry, too, Ben," Lily said. "I know you like teddy bears, too. Maybe we can play together later." + +Mom smiled and kissed them. She told them to go and wash their hands and get ready for lunch.

He thinks maybe he should be a good boy. +Anna and Ben like to play pretend. They act like they are different animals or people. Sometimes they act like they are lions, or pirates, or doctors.

He said, "I just wanted to see what was inside the TV. I was curious." + +Mom hugged Tom and said, "I know you were curious, but you can't cut the TV. It is dangerous and expensive.

"What can we do with it?" + +"Let's make something!" Lily said. "We can use scissors and glue and thread." + +They gathered some leather and took it to their playhouse. They cut and glued and sewed the leather. They made hats and belts and bags and shoes. They were very proud of their work. + +They put on their leather things and went to show their mom. They walked to the house and knocked on the door. Mom opened the door and smiled. + +"Hello, Tom and Lily. What are you wearing?" Mom asked. + +"We made them with leather!" Tom said. "Do you like them?" + +Mom looked at their leather things. They were big and messy and funny. Some had holes and some had strings. Mom tried not to laugh. + +"They are very...creative," Mom said. "But where did you get the leather?" + +"From the bag by the fence," Lily said. + +Mom frowned. "That bag belongs to Mr. Jones. He is a leather worker. He makes things with leather and sells them. He must have left the bag there by mistake. He will be very angry if he finds out you took his leather." + +Tom and Lily felt embarrassed. They did not know the leather was not theirs. They did not want to make Mr. Jones angry. They took off their leather things and put them back in the bag. + +"Sorry, Mom," Tom said. + +"Sorry, Mom," Lily said. + +Mom hugged them. "It's okay. You did not mean to do anything wrong. But you have to ask before you take something that is not yours. And you have to say sorry to Mr. Jones and give him back his leather." + +Tom and Lily nodded. They followed Mom to the fence. They saw Mr. Jones walking to his car. He had a big smile on his face. + +"Hello, Mr. Jones," Mom said. "We have something to tell you." +Anna and Ben went to camp with Mom and Dad. They liked camp. They slept in a big tent. They played with rocks and sticks. They saw birds and bugs. + +One day, it started to rain. The rain was loud and wet. Anna and Ben ran to the tent. They were sad. They could not play outside. + +Mom and Dad came to the tent. They smiled. They said, "Do not be sad. We have a surprise for you. Look in the bag." + +Anna and Ben looked in the bag. They saw books and toys and snacks. They were glad. They said, "Thank you, Mom and Dad. You are the best." + +They played with the books and toys. They ate the snacks. They listened to the rain. They told stories and jokes. They had fun. They liked camp. Even when it rained. +Lily was shy. She did not like to talk to new people. She liked to play with her toys and read her books. But today, she had to go with Mommy to the office. Mommy had to work and Lily had no one to stay with. + +Lily was scared. She did not want to go to the office. She did not know anyone there. She did not want to leave her toys and books. She hugged Mommy and said, "Please, Mommy, can I stay home?" + +Mommy smiled and kissed Lily. She said, "I'm sorry, Lily, but you have to come with me. It's only for a little while. I promise I will be with you the whole time. And maybe you will make some new friends at the office. They are very nice and they have some toys and books too." + +Lily nodded, but she was still shy. She held Mommy's hand and walked to the car. They drove to the office and went inside. Mommy showed Lily her desk and gave her a crayon and a paper. She said, "You can draw something here while I work. I will be right next to you. If you need anything, just tell me." + +Lily started to draw a picture of her toys and books. She looked around and saw some other people. They smiled and waved at her. Some of them had kids too. They were playing with toys and books in a corner. They looked happy and friendly. One of them came over to Lily and said, "Hi, I'm Sam. What's your name?" + +Lily was shy. She did not answer. She hid behind Mommy and clutched her paper. Mommy said, "This is Lily. She's a little shy. She likes to draw and read. Do you like to do that too?" + +Sam nodded and said, "Yes, I do. I like to draw and read too. Can I see your picture? It's very pretty. Do you want to play with me and the other kids? We have some toys and books too. You can bring your picture and crayon." + +Lily looked at Sam. He seemed nice and kind. He liked the same things as her. She looked at Mommy. Mommy smiled and said, "It's okay, Lily. You can play with Sam and the other kids. I promise I will be here if you need me. And I promise I will be done soon. Then we can go home and play with your toys and books." + +Lily smiled and said, "Okay, Mommy. I promise I will be good and have fun. Thank you, Mommy. I love you." + +Mommy hugged Lily and said, "I love you too, Lily. Have fun and make some new friends." + +Lily took her picture and crayon and followed Sam to the corner. She met the other kids and played with them. They shared their toys and books and drew and read together. Lily was shy, but she was happy. She made some new friends at the office. And she kept her promise to Mommy. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big slide. They want to go on the slide. + +"Let's zip down the slide!" Tom says. He runs to the slide and climbs up the ladder. He sits on the slide and pushes himself down. He goes very fast. He laughs. + +"Me too!" Lily says. She follows Tom and climbs up the ladder. She sits on the slide and pushes herself down. She goes very fast. She laughs. + +They do it again and again. They have fun. They are playful. + +But then they see something. It is dust. It is on the slide. It is on their clothes. It is on their faces. It makes them sneeze. + +"Achoo!" Tom sneezes. He wipes his nose. + +"Achoo!" Lily sneezes. She wipes her nose. + +"What is this?" Tom asks. He looks at the dust. + +"I don't know," Lily says. She looks at the dust. + +They hear a voice. It is the park keeper. He is holding a broom. + +"Sorry, kids," he says. "I was cleaning the slide. I forgot to finish. There is dust everywhere. You can play somewhere else." + +Tom and Lily nod. They say bye to the park keeper. They go to the swings. They are still playful. They are not mad. They are happy. They are friends. +Sara and Ben like to play with shapes. They have a box with many shapes: circles, squares, triangles, stars and more. They take turns to pick a shape and talk about it. + +"I have a circle," Sara says. "It is round and smooth. It has no corners. It can roll like a ball." + +"I have a square," Ben says. "It is flat and hard. It has four corners. It can stack like a block." + +They pick more shapes and talk about them. They have fun and learn new words. + +But then, they hear a loud noise. It is Mom. She is angry. She says they made a mess with the shapes. They have to put them back in the box. + +"Sorry, Mom," Sara and Ben say. "We were just playing and talking." + +Mom says they can play and talk, but they have to be quiet and tidy. She says she has a headache and needs some rest. + +Sara and Ben nod. They put the shapes back in the box. They whisper to each other. + +"Let's play with shapes again later," Sara says. + +"OK, but let's be quiet and not make Mom angry," Ben says. + +They hug and smile. They love shapes and they love Mom. +Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to slide, swing and run. They saw a big dog with a man. The dog was brown and fluffy. It looked friendly. + +"Can we pet the dog?" Lily asked Ben. + +"I don't know. We should ask the man first," Ben said. + +They walked to the man and the dog. The man smiled at them. + +"Hello, kids. Do you like my dog? His name is Max," the man said. + +"Yes, we like your dog. He is very good and cute. Can we touch him?" Lily said. + +"Sure, you can touch him. He likes kids. But be gentle and don't mention his ears. He doesn't like that," the man said. + +Ben and Lily touched the dog's fur. It was soft and warm. The dog licked their hands and wagged his tail. He was happy. + +"Thank you, mister. Your dog is very nice. We had fun," Ben said. + +"You're welcome, kids. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Have a good day," the man said. + +Ben and Lily waved goodbye to the man and the dog. They went back to their games. They had a good day. +Dan and Sue are married. They are husband and wife. They like to cook together. They add eggs, flour, milk and sugar to make a cake. They stir and stir and stir. + +"Can I lick the spoon?" Sue asks. + +"Sure, you can lick the spoon," Dan says. "But be careful, it is sticky." + +Sue licks the spoon. She makes a funny face. "Yuck, it is too sweet!" she says. + +Dan laughs. He takes the spoon from Sue. He licks the spoon too. "Mmm, it is just right," he says. + +Sue grabs the spoon back. She licks it again. "No, it is too sweet!" she says. + +They start to play with the spoon. They lick it and pass it and lick it and pass it. They giggle and giggle and giggle. + +The cake is in the oven. It smells good. It is almost done. + +Their dog, Max, watches them. He thinks they are crazy. He wants to lick the spoon too. He barks and barks and barks. +Tom likes to print pictures with his crayons. He prints cars, dogs, and stars on big papers. He likes to show his mom and dad his prints. They say he is a good printer. + +One day, Tom finds a big box in the kitchen. It is heavy and brown. He thinks it is a box of chocolate. He loves chocolate. He wants to open the box and eat some chocolate. + +He tries to lift the box, but it is too heavy for him. He pushes the box, but it does not move. He asks his mom for help. "Mom, can you open this box for me? I think it is chocolate." + +Mom comes to the kitchen and sees the box. She smiles and says, "This is not a box of chocolate, Tom. This is a box of books. Dad ordered them online. They are for his work." + +Tom feels sad. He does not like books. He likes chocolate. He says, "But I want chocolate, mom. Can we buy some chocolate?" + +Mom hugs Tom and says, "I'm sorry, Tom. I know you like chocolate, but you can't have it all the time. It is not good for your teeth and your tummy. How about we print some pictures of chocolate instead? You can use your crayons and your papers. That will be fun, right?" + +Tom thinks for a moment. He likes to print pictures. He likes to use his crayons and his papers. He says, "Okay, mom. Let's print some pictures of chocolate. But can we have some real chocolate later?" + +Mom laughs and says, "Maybe, Tom. Maybe. But only a little bit, okay?" + +Tom nods and says, "Okay, mom. Only a little bit. Come on, let's print some pictures of chocolate." He takes his mom's hand and they go to his room. He prints many pictures of chocolate with his crayons. He shows them to his mom and dad. They say he is a good printer. He is happy. +Sara and Ben like to play at the park. They run, jump, swing and climb. But their favorite thing is to slide. They take turns to go down the big slide. They laugh and shout as they slide fast. + +One day, they see a new slide at the park. It is very tall and twisty. Sara and Ben want to try it. They run to the new slide and climb up the ladder. Sara goes first. She slides down the twisty slide. She feels her body move left and right. She likes it. She reaches the bottom and smiles. + +"Wow, that was fun!" she says. "Come on, Ben, you try it!" + +Ben nods and slides down the twisty slide. He feels his body move left and right too. But he does not like it. He feels dizzy and sick. He reaches the bottom and frowns. + +"Ugh, that was not fun!" he says. "That made my tummy sour!" + +Sara looks at Ben and feels sorry for him. She gives him a hug and says, "I'm sorry, Ben. I didn't know you don't like twisty slides. Do you want to go back to the big slide?" + +Ben nods and smiles. He says, "Yes, please. I like the big slide. It makes me happy." + +Sara and Ben hold hands and run back to the big slide. They slide down together and laugh. They are happy. They like to play at the park. +Lily liked to paint. She had many colors and brushes. She painted flowers and trees and animals. She was very smart and made her paintings look real. + +One day, she wanted to paint a big lion. She found a yellow color and a brown color. She painted a big circle for the head and a long oval for the body. She added legs and a tail and ears and eyes and a nose and a mouth. She used the brown color to make spots and a mane. + +She was very happy with her lion. She showed it to her mom and dad. They said it was very good and gave her a hug. She put it on the wall next to her other paintings. + +The next day, she saw that her lion was gone. She was very sad and angry. She looked around and saw that her brother Tom had taken it. He was holding it in his hands and laughing. + +"Give me back my lion!" she shouted. "It is mine!" + +"No, it is mine!" he said. "It is a silly lion. Look, I can make it better." He took a black marker and drew a big X over the lion's face. He made it look ugly and mean. + +Lily felt a big threat. She ran to Tom and tried to grab her lion. They fought and pulled and tore the painting. They both fell on the floor and cried. + +Mom and dad heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. They saw the broken painting and the angry children. They were very upset and disappointed. + +"Why did you do this?" they asked. "This was Lily's painting. She worked hard on it. It was very smart and beautiful. You should not take it or ruin it. You should say sorry and be nice." + +Tom felt ashamed. He knew he was wrong. He looked at Lily and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I was mean and stupid. I liked your lion. I was jealous. Can you forgive me?" + +Lily was still sad, but she was also kind. She said, "I forgive you, Tom. But don't do it again. You can paint your own lion. I can help you if you want." + +They hugged and said sorry to mom and dad. They decided to paint a new lion together. They used yellow and brown and black and made it look happy and friendly. They put it on the wall next to the other paintings. They were proud and happy. They learned to share and respect. +Lily and Tom were playing with their toy cars in the living room. They liked to make them zoom and beep and crash. But then, Lily's car stopped moving. She looked at it and saw that the battery was empty. + +"Oh no, my car is broken!" she cried. "I need a new battery!" + +Tom saw that Lily was sad. He was kind and wanted to help her. He had a spare battery in his pocket. He took it out and gave it to Lily. + +"Here, you can have my battery," he said. "I don't need it right now. You can make your car go again." + +Lily smiled and thanked Tom. She put the battery in her car and turned it on. It zoomed and beeped and crashed again. She was happy. + +"Thank you, Tom, you are very kind!" she said. "Do you want to play with me?" + +Tom nodded and smiled. He picked up his car and joined Lily. They played with their cars and had fun. They also jumped on the couch and made funny noises. They were good friends. +Tom and Lily like to play at the park. They run and jump and slide and swing. They see a big pond with many ducks and geese. They want to feed them some bread. + +"Look, Lily, a goose!" Tom says. He holds out a piece of bread. The goose comes closer and takes the bread from his hand. It makes a loud honk. + +"Wow, Tom, it likes you!" Lily says. She gives him another piece of bread. The goose eats it and honks again. It follows Tom and Lily as they walk around the pond. + +"Let's play tag with the goose!" Tom says. He runs away from the goose. The goose chases him. Lily runs after them. They laugh and have fun. + +But the goose is messy. It leaves droppings on the grass and the path. It also pecks at other ducks and geese. It scares them away. Some people at the park are not happy. They say the goose is naughty and rude. + +"Tom, Lily, come here!" their mom calls. She sees the mess and the trouble. She is not happy either. She tells them to stop playing with the goose. She says they have to go home and wash their hands. + +"Bye, goose!" Tom and Lily say. They wave at the goose. The goose honks at them. It looks sad. It wants to play more. + +"Maybe we can play with you another day," Tom says. He hopes the goose will be nicer and cleaner next time. +Tom and Mia like to ride their bikes in the park. They have red bikes with two wheels and pedals. They are eager to go fast and have fun. + +One day, they see a big hill in the park. They want to go up the hill and see what is on the other side. They pedal hard and push their bikes up the hill. They are tired but happy. + +But when they reach the top, they see a problem. Tom's bike has a flat tire. He cannot ride it down the hill. He is sad and scared. + +"Don't worry, Tom. I have an idea. We can solve this problem," Mia says. She looks around and sees a big leaf on the ground. She picks it up and wraps it around Tom's tire. She ties it with a stick. + +"Look, Tom. Now your tire is not flat. It has a leaf on it. We can try to ride down the hill slowly and carefully. Maybe it will work," Mia says. + +Tom smiles and thanks Mia. He thinks she is very smart and kind. They get on their bikes and start to ride down the hill. The leaf makes a funny sound, but it holds the tire together. They reach the bottom of the hill safely and happily. + +They hug each other and laugh. They solved the problem together. They are proud and glad. They pedal back to their home and tell their mom and dad about their adventure. They are eager to ride their bikes again. +Lila and Tom were playing in the woods. They liked to pretend they were explorers. They found a hut made of sticks and leaves. They wanted to see what was inside. + +They opened the door and saw a big dog. The dog was scared and angry. It barked and growled at them. Lila and Tom were scared too. They ran away from the hut. + +"Help! Help!" they shouted. "A big dog is chasing us!" + +A man heard them and came to see what was wrong. He saw the big dog running after them. He had a smooth rope in his hand. He threw the rope around the dog's neck and pulled it back. + +"Shh, shh, it's okay, boy," he said to the dog. "I'm not going to hurt you. I'm here to rescue you." + +He petted the dog and calmed it down. He told Lila and Tom that the dog was lost and hungry. He had been living in the hut for a long time. He was afraid of people and other animals. + +"I'm sorry he scared you," he said. "He needs a home and a friend. Do you want to help me take him to the vet?" + +Lila and Tom nodded. They felt sorry for the dog. They wanted to help him. They followed the man and the dog to his car. They gave the dog some water and a biscuit. The dog licked their hands and wagged his tail. + +"Thank you for rescuing him," Lila said. + +"Thank you for being brave," Tom said. + +The man smiled. He drove them to the vet. He hoped the dog would find a good home. He was glad he met Lila and Tom. They were kind and adventurous. They had a good day in the woods. +Lila and Ben like to play with cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They like to make them go fast and make noises. Vroom, vroom! + +One day, they find a new car in the toy box. It is big and red and shiny. It has a door that opens and a seat inside. Lila and Ben want to try it. + +"I want to be the driver!" Lila says. She opens the door and tries to get in. But she is too big. She cannot fit. She pushes and pulls, but she cannot fit. + +"Let me try!" Ben says. He is smaller than Lila. He opens the door and tries to get in. But he is too small. He can fit, but he cannot reach the pedals or the wheel. He slides and stretches, but he cannot reach. + +They are sad. They cannot play with the new car. They look at each other and frown. + +Then they hear a meow. It is their cat, Fluffy. Fluffy is furry and soft and likes to play. Fluffy sees the new car and jumps in. He fits perfectly. He can reach the pedals and the wheel. He pretends to drive and makes noises. Meow, meow! + +Lila and Ben laugh. They are happy. They have a new friend to play with. They clap and cheer. + +"Fluffy, you are the best driver!" Lila says. + +"Fluffy, you are the most furry driver!" Ben says. + +Fluffy purrs. He likes the new car. He likes Lila and Ben. They have fun together. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play together in the park. Today they pretend to be pirates. They use sticks as swords and hats as hats. They run and jump and shout. + +"Arrr, matey, I am the captain of this ship!" Lily says. She points her stick at Ben. + +"No, I am the captain, and you are the first mate!" Ben says. He swings his stick at Lily. + +They laugh and dodge and parry. They have fun. + +But then they see a big green hand. It comes out of the bushes. It is hairy and scary. It has long nails and rings. It grabs Lily's hat and pulls it away. + +"Help, help, a monster!" Lily screams. She drops her stick and runs to Ben. + +"Let go of her hat, you meanie!" Ben yells. He picks up his stick and hits the hand. + +The hand lets go of the hat and goes back to the bushes. It makes a loud noise. + +"Roar!" + +Lily and Ben are scared. They hug each other. They look at the bushes. + +But then they hear a voice. + +"Sorry, sorry, I was just pretending too!" The voice says. It is Sam, their other friend. He comes out of the bushes. He is wearing a green glove. It is his hand. + +"Sam, you scared us!" Lily says. She is angry and relieved. + +"Yeah, that was not nice, Sam!" Ben says. He is also angry and relieved. + +"I know, I know, I'm sorry. I just wanted to join your game. Can I be a pirate too?" Sam says. He is sorry and hopeful. + +Lily and Ben look at each other. They sigh. They smile. + +"Okay, Sam, you can be a pirate too. But no more scaring us, okay?" Lily says. + +"Okay, okay, I promise. Thank you, thank you!" Sam says. He is happy and grateful. + +They give him a hat and a stick. They all pretend to be pirates again. They run and jump and shout. + +They have fun. +Sara and Tom were playing with their blocks. They liked to build towers and houses and cars. Sara had a big red block and Tom had a small blue block. They wanted to see if they could fit them together. + +"Look, Sara, I can put my block on top of yours!" Tom said. He put his blue block on the red block and made a tall tower. + +"That's amazing, Tom!" Sara said. She clapped her hands and smiled. "Can I try too?" + +"Sure, Sara, you can try. But be careful, the tower might fall down." Tom said. He moved away from the tower and gave Sara some space. + +Sara picked up a yellow block and tried to fit it on the tower. But the yellow block was too big and heavy. It pushed the blue block off the red block and the tower fell down. The blocks made a loud noise and rolled on the floor. + +"Oh no, Sara, you broke the tower!" Tom said. He was sad and angry. He liked his tower. + +"I'm sorry, Tom, I didn't mean to break it." Sara said. She was sorry and sad too. She liked to play with Tom. + +"It's okay, Sara, we can build another tower. Or maybe something else." Tom said. He was not angry anymore. He liked Sara. + +"Okay, Tom, let's build something else. Maybe a house or a car." Sara said. She was happy again. She liked to build things. + +They hugged and picked up their blocks. They looked at the clock and saw that it was noon. They were hungry and thirsty. + +"Let's go and have some lunch, Sara. Maybe we can have some juice and cookies." Tom said. + +"Okay, Tom, let's go. Maybe we can have some cheese and crackers." Sara said. + +They put their blocks away and ran to the kitchen. They had a yummy lunch and then went back to play. They had a lot of fun with their blocks. They were good friends. +Sam and Mia love to play with their toy cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They like to make them zoom on the floor, on the table, and on the sofa. Sometimes they pretend they are racing drivers and make loud noises with their mouths. + +One day, they decide to have a big race with all their cars. They line them up on the floor and get ready to start. Sam picks a red car and Mia picks a blue car. They both think their car is the fastest. + +"Ready, set, go!" they shout and push their cars forward. The cars zoom across the floor, past the chair, past the lamp, and towards the door. Sam and Mia run after them, cheering and laughing. + +But then, Sam's car starts to slow down. It stops before it reaches the door. Sam looks at his car and sees that it has a hole in the bottom. He remembers that he played with it too hard and broke it. + +"Oh no, my car is out of fuel!" he says sadly. + +Mia sees that Sam's car has stopped. She feels sorry for him. She stops her car and runs back to him. + +"Here, you can have my car," she says and gives him her blue car. "It is very fast and has lots of fuel. We can share it and finish the race together." + +Sam smiles and hugs Mia. He thanks her for being so kind. They take the blue car and zoom to the door. They cross the finish line and celebrate. They are both happy and proud. They are the best racers and the best friends. +Sara liked to play with her toys in her room. She had a doll, a car, a ball and a lamp. The lamp was her favorite toy, because it made light when she pushed a button. She liked to turn it on and off and see the colors change. + +One day, Sara saw a cord behind the lamp. She wondered what it was for. She pulled the cord and the lamp went off. She pushed the button, but the lamp did not make light. She pulled the cord again and the lamp went on. She was happy and surprised. + +She called her mom and showed her what she did. "Mom, look! I can make the lamp go on and off with this cord!" + +Mom smiled and hugged Sara. "You are very clever, Sara. You learned how the lamp works. The cord is what gives the lamp power. Power is what makes things work. But you have to be careful with cords, Sara. They can be dangerous if you touch them with wet hands or put them in your mouth. Do you understand?" + +Sara nodded and said, "Yes, mom. I understand. Cords are powerful and I have to be careful. Thank you for teaching me, mom. I love you." + +Mom said, "I love you too, Sara. You are a good learner. Now, let's go and have some cookies and milk." +Tom and Mia were playing in the garden. They liked to pretend they were king and queen of a big castle. Tom had a paper crown that he made with his mom. Mia had a plastic crown that she found in a box of toys. + +"Look at my crown, Tom. It is shiny and pretty," Mia said. She put the crown on her head and smiled. + +"Your crown is nice, Mia, but mine is better. It is special and rare. Your crown is regular and boring," Tom said. He put the crown on his head and frowned. + +Mia felt sad. She did not like Tom's words. She wanted to have a special crown too. She looked around the garden and saw a flower. It was yellow and bright. She picked the flower and put it in her hair. + +"Look at my crown now, Tom. It is not regular. It is a flower crown. It smells good and makes me happy," Mia said. She twirled around and laughed. + +Tom looked at Mia's crown. He saw that it was not regular. It was a flower crown. It smelled good and made him happy too. He felt sorry for his words. He wanted to be nice to Mia. + +"Your crown is very special, Mia. It is a flower crown. I like it a lot. Can I have a flower too?" Tom said. He took off his paper crown and gave it to Mia. + +Mia smiled. She took the paper crown and gave it to Tom. She picked another flower and gave it to Tom. He put the flower in his hair and put the paper crown on Mia's head. + +"Thank you, Mia. Now we both have special crowns. We can share and be friends," Tom said. He hugged Mia and they played together. + +The end. +Lily was a big girl who slept in a bed, but her baby brother Ben still slept in a crib. Sometimes, Lily liked to sneak into Ben's room and play with his toys when he was napping. But one day, she heard him cry very loud. She ran to his crib and saw that he had dropped his pacifier on the floor and could not reach it. + +"Shh, Ben, don't cry. I will rescue you," Lily said. She climbed on a chair and leaned over the crib. She grabbed the pacifier and gave it to Ben. But when she tried to get down, she slipped and fell on the floor. She hit her head and it hurt a lot. She started to cry too. + +Mommy heard the noise and came to the room. She saw Lily and Ben crying and ran to them. She picked up Lily and hugged her. She checked her head and saw a small bump. She kissed it and said, "You are a brave girl, Lily. You rescued your brother. But you have to be careful, okay? Climbing on chairs is dangerous." + +She put Lily on the bed and gave her a cookie. She picked up Ben and hugged him too. She checked his pacifier and saw that it was dirty. She said, "You need a new pacifier, Ben. This one is sour. It has dust and hair on it. Yuck!" + +She threw the pacifier in the trash and gave Ben a clean one. He smiled and sucked on it. He looked at Lily and said, "Thank you, Lily. You are a good sister." Lily smiled back and said, "You are welcome, Ben. You are a cute brother." Mommy smiled and said, "I love you both. Now, let's go to the living room and read a story." She took them by the hand and they walked out of the room. +Lila and Mark are friends. They like to play with crayons and paper. They make pictures of animals, flowers and houses. Lila likes to use many colors. Mark likes to use only blue. + +One day, they have a big paper to share. Lila says, "Let's make a rainbow. Rainbows are pretty and have many colors." Mark says, "No, let's make a lake. Lakes are blue and calm and have fish." + +They start to draw on the paper. Lila draws a red line, then an orange line, then a yellow line. Mark draws a big blue circle. Lila says, "Stop, Mark! You are ruining my rainbow!" Mark says, "No, Lila! You are ruining my lake!" + +They start to argue and pull the paper. The paper tears in half. Lila and Mark are sad and angry. They do not want to play anymore. + +Then, they see their teacher, Miss Rose. She comes to them and says, "What happened, Lila and Mark? Why are you crying?" Lila and Mark tell her their story. Miss Rose says, "I'm sorry you had a fight. But you know, you can both finish your pictures. You can use the other side of the paper. And you can also make a new picture together. Maybe you can find a way to combine a rainbow and a lake. That would be very attractive and creative." + +Lila and Mark think about it. They say, "Okay, Miss Rose. We will try." They wipe their tears and smile. They take their crayons and paper and start to draw again. They finish their pictures and show them to Miss Rose. She says, "Wow, Lila and Mark! You did a great job! Your pictures are beautiful and colorful and original. I'm very proud of you. You are good friends and good artists." + +Lila and Mark hug each other and say, "Thank you, Miss Rose. We are sorry we fought. We like to play with crayons and paper. And we like to play with each other." They put their pictures on the wall and go to play with the other children. They are happy and have fun. +Ben and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big fountain. The fountain has water and coins. Ben and Mia want to make a wish. + +"Look, coins!" Ben says. "We can throw them and make a wish." + +"What do you wish for?" Mia asks. + +"I wish for a nice bike," Ben says. "What about you?" + +"I wish for a nice doll," Mia says. + +They each take a coin from their pockets. They stand near the fountain. They close their eyes and make a wish. Then they throw their coins into the water. + +Splash! The coins make a sound. Ben and Mia open their eyes. They smile at each other. + +"Did you make a wish?" Ben asks. + +"Yes, I did," Mia says. "Did you?" + +"Yes, I did," Ben says. + +They hug and run to the swings. They hope their wishes will come true. They are happy. They are friends. +Lily and Ben were playing hide and seek in the park. Lily was the seeker and Ben was the hider. Lily counted to ten and then looked for Ben. She saw his feet under a bench. She ran to the bench and shouted, "I found you, Ben! You have to surrender!" + +Ben crawled out from under the bench and said, "Okay, okay, you win, Lily. You are a good seeker. But can we play again? I want to be the seeker this time." + +Lily smiled and said, "Sure, Ben. But first, let's have a treat. Look, there is an ice cream truck over there. Do you want some ice cream?" + +Ben nodded and said, "Yes, please. I love ice cream. What flavor do you want, Lily?" + +Lily thought for a moment and said, "I want strawberry. It is pink and lovely. What about you, Ben?" + +Ben said, "I want chocolate. It is brown and yummy. Come on, Lily. Let's go get some ice cream." + +Lily and Ben held hands and walked to the ice cream truck. They asked for their flavors and paid with their coins. They licked their ice cream and enjoyed the sunny day. They were happy and friendly. They decided to play hide and seek again after their treat. They hoped to find more lovely things in the park. +Lily was very happy. It was her birthday and she had a big cake and many balloons. She also had many presents from her family and friends. She opened them one by one and said thank you. She got a doll, a book, a puzzle, a hat and a ball. + +But there was one present that she did not like. It was from her cousin Max. He gave her a box with a spider inside. Lily was scared of spiders. She screamed and threw the box away. She did not want to touch it or look at it. + +Max laughed and said, "It is a joke, Lily. The spider is not real. It is a toy. Do you not like my present?" + +Lily was angry and sad. She said, "No, I do not like it. It is a bad present. It is a crazy present. You are a mean cousin. You made me cry. I refuse to play with you." + +Max felt sorry. He said, "I am sorry, Lily. I did not want to make you cry. I wanted to make you laugh. I thought you would like the spider. It is a funny spider. It can move and make noises. See?" + +He picked up the box and showed her the spider. It was a plastic spider with a battery. It wiggled and squeaked. Lily looked at it and saw that it was not real. She felt a little better. She said, "It is a funny spider. But it is still a scary spider. I do not like spiders. They are icky and hairy. Can you give me another present?" + +Max nodded. He said, "Yes, I can. I have another present for you. It is in my bag. It is a nice present. It is a teddy bear. Do you like teddy bears?" + +Lily smiled. She said, "Yes, I like teddy bears. They are soft and cuddly. They are good friends. Can I see the teddy bear?" + +Max gave her the teddy bear. It was brown and fluffy. It had a red bow and a big smile. Lily hugged the teddy bear. She said, "Thank you, Max. This is a good present. It is a lovely present. You are a nice cousin. I forgive you for the spider. Can we play together?" + +Max smiled too. He said, "You are welcome, Lily. I am glad you like the teddy bear. You are a sweet cousin. I am sorry for the spider. Yes, we can play together. What do you want to play?" + +Lily thought for a moment. She said, "Let's play with the ball. We can roll it and catch it and bounce it. It will be fun. But no more spiders, OK?" + +Max agreed. He said, "OK, no more spiders. Let's play with the ball. It will be fun. Happy birthday, Lily." + +They played with the ball and had fun. They forgot about the spider and the cake and the balloons. They were happy. They were cousins and friends. +Lila and Ben are twins. They like to play outside in the sun. They have a big yard with a swing, a slide and a sandbox. They also have a dog named Spot who likes to run and bark. + +One day, Lila and Ben decide to play hide and seek. Lila counts to ten and Ben runs to find a good spot to hide. He sees a big tree with a hole in it. He thinks it is a perfect place to hide. He runs to the tree and climbs inside the hole. He is very quiet and waits for Lila to find him. + +Lila looks around the yard. She does not see Ben. She thinks he is very good at hiding. She looks behind the swing, under the slide and in the sandbox. She does not find him. She calls his name. "Ben, where are you? I give up!" + +Ben hears Lila's voice. He wants to surprise her. He crawls out of the hole and jumps out of the tree. He shouts, "Boo! I am here!" + +Lila sees Ben and screams. She is scared and angry. She runs to him and pushes him. "That is not fair! You scared me! You are a mean brother!" + +Ben falls to the ground. He is hurt and sad. He says, "I am sorry, Lila. I just wanted to have fun. I did not mean to scare you. You are a nice sister." + +Lila sees Ben's tears. She feels sorry for him. She says, "I am sorry, too, Ben. I did not mean to push you. You are a fun brother." + +They hug and make up. They are tired from playing. They decide to rest on the grass. They lie down and look at the sky. They see clouds and birds and planes. They point and name them. They are happy and ready for a nap. + +Spot comes and joins them. He licks their faces and lies down next to them. He is happy and ready for a nap, too. They all close their eyes and rest. They dream of more games and adventures. +Lily and Tom were playing with cubes. They liked to build towers and castles with them. Lily had a red cube and Tom had a blue cube. They wanted to make a big tower with both cubes. + +"Please, can I have your blue cube?" Lily asked Tom. + +"No, it is mine. You can have another cube," Tom said. + +"But I like your blue cube. It is pretty. Please, please, please," Lily begged. + +Tom did not want to share. He held his blue cube tight. He did not like Lily's red cube. He thought it was boring. + +Lily was sad. She wanted to play with Tom, but he was not nice. She looked around for another cube. She saw a yellow cube on the shelf. She reached for it, but it was too high. She stood on her toes and stretched her arms, but she could not reach it. + +Suddenly, she heard a loud noise. She turned around and saw that Tom's tower had fallen down. The cubes were everywhere. Tom was scared. He had knocked over his tower by accident. He did not like the noise. He did not like the mess. He started to cry. + +Lily felt sorry for Tom. She forgot about the yellow cube. She ran to Tom and gave him a hug. + +"It is okay, Tom. Don't cry. We can build another tower. Here, you can have my red cube. I don't mind," she said. + +Tom stopped crying. He looked at Lily and smiled. He took her red cube and gave her his blue cube. + +"Thank you, Lily. You are a good friend. I am sorry I was not nice. Do you want to play with me?" he asked. + +Lily nodded. She was happy. She liked Tom's blue cube. She liked Tom. They started to build a new tower with their cubes. They played together and had fun. +Will is a boy who likes to fly. He has a long red cape that he ties around his neck. He runs and jumps and pretends he is a superhero. He likes to fly in the park, in the yard, and in his room. + +One day, he sees a big bird in the sky. The bird has long wings and a long tail. It flies very fast and very high. Will wants to fly like the bird. He says, "Hello, bird! Can you teach me how to fly?" + +The bird hears Will and flies down to him. It says, "Hello, boy! You want to fly like me? You need wings and feathers and a beak. You are not a bird, you are a human. Humans cannot fly." + +Will feels sad. He says, "But I have a cape. It is like wings. And I have a nose. It is like a beak. And I have hair. It is like feathers. Can I not fly with these?" + +The bird laughs. It says, "No, boy, you cannot. A cape is not wings, a nose is not a beak, and hair is not feathers. You are different from me. But you can do other things that I cannot. You can talk and sing and draw and play. You can make friends and have fun. You can be happy." + +Will thinks about what the bird says. He says, "You are right, bird. I can do many things. And I can still pretend to fly. That is fun, too. Thank you for talking to me. You are a nice bird." + +The bird says, "You are welcome, boy. You are a nice human. Goodbye, Will. Fly in your dreams." + +The bird flies away. Will waves to the bird. He puts on his cape and runs and jumps and pretends to fly. He is happy. He likes to fly. +Lily and Max are best friends. They like to play in the park every day. Sometimes they play on the swings, sometimes they slide on the slide, and sometimes they run on the grass. + +One day, they see a man sitting on a bench. He is holding a newspaper. He looks very serious. He does not smile or talk to anyone. + +Lily and Max are curious. They want to make the man happy. They run to the bench and say hello. The man does not answer. He keeps looking at the newspaper. + +Lily and Max have an idea. They each give the man a kiss on the cheek. The man is surprised. He puts down the newspaper and looks at them. He smiles. + +"Thank you, little ones," he says. "You made my day. What are your names?" + +"I'm Lily and this is Max," Lily says. + +"We are best friends," Max says. + +The man nods. He tells them his name is Sam. He says he was reading a sad story in the newspaper. He says he is glad they came to cheer him up. + +Lily and Max are happy. They ask Sam if he wants to play with them. Sam says yes. He folds the newspaper and puts it in his pocket. He follows them to the swings. They have fun together. They laugh and talk and play. Lily and Max give Sam more kisses. Sam gives them hugs. They are all friends. +Ben and Mia like to play in the garden. They dig in the dirt and look for worms. Worms are long and wiggly and make the dirt good for plants. + +One day, they find a very big worm. It is as long as Ben's arm and as thick as Mia's finger. They are very happy and want to show it to mom. + +"Look, mom, look!" Ben says, holding the worm in his hands. "We found a mighty worm!" + +Mom smiles and comes to see. She is not scared of worms. She likes them too. + +"That is a mighty worm indeed," she says. "But you know what? Worms don't like to be out of the dirt for too long. They need to be moist and cool. Why don't you put it back in the garden and make a nice home for it?" + +Ben and Mia nod. They love the worm, but they don't want to hurt it. They find a shady spot under a big leaf and dig a hole. They gently put the worm in the hole and cover it with dirt. Then they fold the leaf over the hole to make a roof. + +"There you go, mighty worm," Mia says. "Have a good nap. Maybe we will see you again tomorrow." + +The worm wiggles a little and then stays still. It is happy in its new home. Ben and Mia wave goodbye and go to play with their ball. They are happy too. They have a new friend in the garden. +Lily and Tom were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big bowl of salad on a table. It had green leaves, red tomatoes, and yellow cheese. It looked yummy. + +"Let's try some salad," Tom said. He was hungry. + +"But that is not our salad," Lily said. She was nervous. "Someone else made it. We cannot take it." + +Tom did not listen. He ran to the table and grabbed a handful of salad. He put it in his mouth. It was crunchy and tasty. + +"Hey, stop!" a voice shouted. It was a man. He was angry. He had made the salad for his picnic. He saw Tom stealing his salad. He ran after him. + +Tom was scared. He dropped the salad and ran away. He tried to hide behind a tree. But the man saw him. He caught him and scolded him. + +"That was very bad. You should not steal. You should ask first. How would you feel if someone took your food?" the man said. + +Tom felt sorry. He did not want to make the man sad. He said, "I am sorry. I was wrong. I will not do it again. Please forgive me." + +The man was kind. He saw that Tom was sorry. He said, "It's okay. I forgive you. But next time, be polite and respectful. And if you are hungry, you can ask me. I have enough salad for everyone." + +He gave Tom a plate of salad. He also gave one to Lily, who had followed Tom. She was glad that the man was not mad. She said, "Thank you. You are very nice. We are sorry for the trouble." + +The man smiled. He said, "You are welcome. Enjoy the salad. And remember, sharing is better than stealing." + +Lily and Tom nodded. They ate the salad. It was delicious. They learned a lesson. They decided to be good friends and not steal again. +Tom is a baby. He likes to drink milk from his bottle. He drinks milk every morning and every night. He has a blue bottle and a pink bottle. He likes both of them. + +One day, Tom wakes up and he is hungry. He cries for his bottle. He hears his mom come to his room. She says, "Good morning, Tom. Do you want your bottle?" Tom nods and smiles. He reaches for his bottle. + +But his mom says, "Wait, Tom. This bottle is not clean. It has old milk in it. It is yucky. You need a clean bottle. I will go and wash it for you. You can play with your teddy bear while you wait." + +Tom does not like to wait. He wants his bottle now. He cries louder. He throws his teddy bear on the floor. He is angry and sad. + +His mom hears him cry. She comes back with a clean bottle. She says, "I'm sorry, Tom. I know you are hungry. Here is your clean bottle. It has fresh milk in it. It is yummy. You can drink it now." + +Tom stops crying. He takes his clean bottle. He drinks the milk. He feels better. He says, "Thank you, mom. I love you." He hugs his mom. He hugs his teddy bear. He is happy. +Tom hurt his knee when he fell off his bike. It was red and sore and had a little blood. He cried and ran to his mom, who hugged him and took him inside. + +"Mom, it hurts!" Tom said. + +"I know, my love. Let me clean it and put a band-aid on it. That will help it heal," Mom said. She got a wet cloth and a bin. She wiped Tom's knee gently and threw the dirty cloth in the bin. Then she put a band-aid with a star on it over the wound. + +"Wow, a star!" Tom said. He smiled and touched the band-aid. + +"Yes, a star for my brave boy. Now, do you want a cookie and some juice?" Mom asked. + +"Yes, please!" Tom said. He followed Mom to the kitchen, where she gave him a cookie and a glass of juice. He ate and drank happily. + +"Mom, can I go back to my bike?" Tom asked. + +"Not yet, my love. You need to rest your knee for a while. Why don't you read a book or play with your toys?" Mom suggested. + +"OK, Mom. You are very wise," Tom said. He gave Mom a hug and a kiss. Then he went to his room, where he found his favorite book and his teddy bear. He read and played until his knee felt better. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big dog. The dog is brown and furry. It has a red collar. + +"Wow, look at the dog!" Tom says. "Can we pet it?" + +"I don't know," Mia says. "Maybe it has an owner. Maybe it is not friendly." + +They walk closer to the dog. The dog sees them and wags its tail. It looks happy. Tom and Mia smile. + +"Hi, doggy!" Tom says. He reaches out his hand. The dog licks his hand. Tom laughs. + +"Can we follow it?" Mia asks. "Maybe it will show us where it lives." + +"Okay," Tom says. "But we have to be alert. We don't want to get lost or in trouble." + +They follow the dog. The dog runs and jumps. It sniffs the flowers and the trees. It barks at the birds and the squirrels. Tom and Mia have fun. They follow the dog for a long time. + +Then, they see a house. The house has a fence and a gate. The dog runs to the gate. It scratches the gate with its paws. It whines. + +"Look, the dog lives here!" Tom says. "Maybe its owner is inside." + +They go to the gate. The gate has a lock. They cannot open it. + +"Hello!" Tom shouts. "Is anyone home? We found your dog!" + +No one answers. The dog keeps whining. + +"What do we do?" Mia asks. "We can't leave the dog here. It is sad." + +"Maybe we can find someone to help us," Tom says. "Come on, let's go back to the park. Maybe we can see a grown-up there." + +They turn around. They walk away from the gate. The dog barks. It wants them to stay. + +"Bye, doggy!" Tom says. "We will come back soon. Don't worry." + +They wave to the dog. They hope to see it again. They follow the road back to the park. +Lily and Tom were playing with blocks. They liked to make towers and houses and cars. Lily had a big red block that was wide. She put it on top of her tower. Tom wanted the block. He tried to take it from Lily. + +"Mine!" Lily said. She pulled the block back. Tom pulled harder. The block fell and hit Lily's hand. It was sharp. Lily cried. Her hand hurt. + +"Sorry, sorry!" Tom said. He felt bad. He gave Lily a hug. He got a band-aid from his mom and put it on Lily's hand. "Better?" he asked. + +Lily nodded. She smiled. She was not mad at Tom. He was her friend. She gave him the wide block. "Share," she said. They played with the blocks together. They were happy. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, they find a big box in the garage. They open the box and see a lot of things inside. They see a hat, a ball, a lamp, and a rub. + +"What is a rub?" Lily asks. + +"I don't know," Ben says. "It looks like a big cloth with many colors." + +They take out the rub and spread it on the floor. They touch it and feel it. It is soft and warm. They see some pictures on the rub. They see a sun, a moon, a star, and a hairy. + +"What is a hairy?" Ben asks. + +"I don't know," Lily says. "It looks like a big animal with long hair." + +They point at the hairy on the rub. It has four legs, a tail, and a big head. It has brown hair and black eyes. It looks friendly and happy. + +"Maybe it is a dog," Lily says. + +"Maybe it is a bear," Ben says. + +They discuss what the hairy is. They make sounds like the hairy. They pretend to be the hairy. They have fun with the rub and the hairy. They laugh and smile. They are happy. +Tom and Lily are brother and sister. They want to go on a big plane to see their grandma. But they need a passport to go on the plane. A passport is a small book with their name and picture in it. + +Mom takes them to a place where they can get a passport. They have to wait in a long line. Tom and Lily are bored and hungry. They see a candy machine. They ask Mom for some money to buy candy. + +"Mom, can we have some money for candy?" Tom says. + +"No, you can't. We have to save our money for the trip. And candy is not good for you. You can have a snack later." Mom says. + +"But we want candy!" Lily says. + +Mom shakes her head. She is not happy. She says, "You have to be modest. Modest means you don't ask for too much. You have to be patient and grateful for what you have. You have a passport, a plane ticket, and a grandma who loves you. That is more than enough." + +Tom and Lily are quiet. They think about what Mom says. They realize she is right. They have a lot of things to be happy about. They say sorry to Mom and hug her. + +"Mom, we are sorry. We are modest. We don't need candy. We love you." Tom and Lily say. + +Mom smiles and kisses them. She says, "I love you too. You are good children. Now let's go get our passports and go see grandma." +Emma loves to splash in the water. She likes to fill her bucket and pour it on the sand. She likes to kick her feet and make big waves. She likes to see the fish and the shells and the seaweed. + +One day, Emma goes to the beach with her parent. They find a nice spot under a big umbrella. Her parent gives her a sandwich and a juice. Then they say, "Have fun, Emma. I will watch you from here." + +Emma runs to the water. She splashes and plays and laughs. She sees a crab and a starfish and a jellyfish. She makes a sandcastle and a moat. She is very happy. + +But then, she hears a loud noise. She looks up and sees a big boat. The boat makes a lot of smoke and waves. The boat scares the fish and the shells and the seaweed. The boat ruins her sandcastle and her moat. Emma is very sad. + +She runs back to her parent. She says, "Parent, parent, the boat is bad. The boat is noisy and mean. The boat makes the water dirty and the beach ugly. I don't like the boat." + +Her parent hugs her and says, "I'm sorry, Emma. The boat is not nice. The boat should be more careful and quiet. The boat should respect the water and the beach. The water and the beach are beautiful and peaceful. They are our friends. We should love them and protect them." + +Emma nods and says, "Yes, parent. I love the water and the beach. They make me happy. Can we stay here a little longer?" + +Her parent smiles and says, "Of course, Emma. We can stay here as long as you want. Maybe the boat will go away soon. Maybe we will see the fish and the shells and the seaweed again. Maybe we can make another sandcastle and another moat. Would you like that?" + +Emma says, "Yes, parent. I would like that very much. Thank you, parent. You are the best." + +They hug and kiss and go back to the water. They splash and play and laugh. They forget about the boat and enjoy the sun and the breeze. They are very happy. +Lily liked to play with her dolls and make them talk. She had a big doll named Anna, who was her favorite. Anna wore a blue dress and had long yellow hair. Lily pretended that Anna was very smart and wanted to go to university. + +One day, Lily's mom came into her room and saw her playing. She smiled and asked, "What are you doing, Lily?" + +"I'm playing university with Anna," Lily said. "She is going to learn many things and become a teacher." + +"That's wonderful, Lily," her mom said. "Do you want to go to university too, when you grow up?" + +Lily nodded. "Yes, mom. I want to be like Anna. But I'm afraid it's very hard." + +Her mom hugged her and said, "Don't be afraid, Lily. University is not easy, but it's also fun and exciting. You can meet new friends, explore new subjects, and discover your talents. You just have to work hard and be brave." + +Lily smiled and hugged her mom back. "Thank you, mom. I will work hard and be brave. But can I still play with Anna?" + +"Of course, Lily. You can always play with Anna. She is your friend and she will support you. And maybe one day, you and Anna can go to university together." + +Lily clapped her hands and said, "That would be awesome, mom. I hope Anna and I can go to the same university. But what if there are many other dolls who want to go too? What if it's very competitive?" + +Her mom kissed her forehead and said, "Don't worry, Lily. There is enough room for everyone who wants to learn. And being competitive is not bad, as long as you are kind and respectful. You can learn from others and help others too. That's what makes university fun and rewarding." + +Lily nodded and said, "I understand, mom. I will be kind and respectful. And I will have fun and learn a lot. I love you, mom." + +"I love you too, Lily," her mom said. "Now, let's go have some lunch. And then you can play some more with Anna." + +Lily and her mom left the room, holding hands. Anna smiled from the bed, proud of her friend. She whispered, "You can do it, Lily. You can go to university and become a teacher. And I will be there for you, always." +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big barrel near the slide. They ran to the barrel and tried to push it. But the barrel was too heavy and did not move. + +"Let's climb on it!" said Lily. She jumped on the barrel and stood on top. She felt very tall and proud. + +"Me too!" said Ben. He tried to climb on the barrel, but he slipped and fell. He hurt his knee and started to cry. + +"Ha ha, you are silly!" said Lily. She laughed at Ben and did not help him. She was rude and mean. + +"Stop it, Lily!" said a voice. It was their mom, who came to the park to pick them up. She saw what happened and was angry. "That is not how you behave with your brother. You should be kind and share. And you should not play with the barrel. It is not a toy. It is dirty and dangerous. Come down right now!" + +Lily felt ashamed and scared. She climbed down from the barrel and said sorry to Ben. She hugged him and kissed his knee. Ben stopped crying and smiled. He forgave Lily and hugged her back. + +Their mom was happy to see them make up. She said, "That's better. Now let's go home and have some cookies. But remember, next time, be nice and careful when you play." +Lily liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls with different clothes and hair. She liked to brush their hair and make them look pretty. One day, she wanted to play with her doll Anna, who had long yellow hair. + +She looked for Anna in her toy box, but she could not find her. She looked under her bed, behind her chair, in her closet, but she could not find her. She felt sad and confused. Where did Anna go? Did she vanish? + +She asked her mom, "Mom, where is Anna? I can't find her. Did she vanish?" + +Her mom smiled and said, "No, honey, Anna did not vanish. She is in the bathroom. I washed her hair because it was dirty. She will be dry soon and you can play with her again." + +Lily ran to the bathroom and saw Anna on the sink. Her hair was wet and shiny. She was happy to see her. She said, "Hi, Anna. I missed you. You have clean hair now. You look pretty." + +She hugged her doll and waited for her hair to dry. She was glad that Anna did not vanish. She loved her doll very much. +Sam and Ben are brothers. They like to play with toys in the bath. Sam has a whale toy. Ben has a boat toy. They make the toys swim and splash in the water. + +"Look, my whale can jump over your boat!" Sam says. He makes the whale toy go up and down in the air. + +"No, my boat is faster than your whale!" Ben says. He makes the boat toy zoom around the tub. + +They play and laugh for a long time. Then, they hear their mom call them. + +"Boys, time to get out of the bath and get ready for bed!" Mom says. + +"Okay, Mom!" Sam and Ben say. They get out of the bath and dry themselves with towels. + +But Sam does not want to leave his whale toy. He loves his whale toy. He wants to take it to bed with him. + +"Mom, can I take my whale to bed?" Sam asks. + +"No, Sam, your whale is wet. It will make your bed wet too. You can play with it tomorrow." Mom says. + +"But I want my whale now!" Sam says. He starts to cry and scream. He acts crazy. + +"Sam, stop that. You can't have your whale now. It's bedtime. You have to listen to Mom." Ben says. + +But Sam does not listen. He grabs his whale toy and runs to his room. He slams the door and locks it. + +"Sam, open the door! You can't lock yourself in your room!" Mom says. She knocks on the door. + +But Sam does not open the door. He hugs his whale toy and lies on his bed. He is still crying and screaming. + +Mom and Ben are worried. They try to open the door. But they can't. + +"Sam, please calm down. We love you. We just want you to be safe and happy." Mom says. + +But Sam does not calm down. He is still acting crazy. + +What will happen next? How will Mom and Ben get Sam to open the door and give up his whale toy? How will Sam learn to share and follow the rules? You can make up the rest of the story. +Lily was a very intelligent girl. She liked to read books and learn new things. She also liked to play with her friends in the park. One day, she went to the park with her mom and saw a big slide. She wanted to try it. + +She ran to the slide and climbed up the ladder. She was very excited. She looked down and saw her mom smiling at her. She waved and said, "Mom, look at me!" + +She sat on the slide and pushed herself down. She felt the wind in her hair and the sun on her face. She was having fun. But then, she saw a rock on the ground. She tried to avoid it, but it was too late. She stumbled and fell off the slide. She hurt her skin and started to cry. + +Her mom ran to her and hugged her. She checked her skin and saw a small cut. She said, "Oh, Lily, I'm sorry. You stumbled and hurt your skin. But don't worry, it's not a big wound. I have a band-aid in my bag. Let me put it on your skin and it will feel better." + +She took out a band-aid and put it on Lily's skin. She kissed her and said, "There, you're a brave girl. You can still play, but be careful of the rocks. Do you want to try the slide again?" + +Lily nodded and smiled. She said, "Yes, mom, I want to try again. I like the slide. It's fun. Thank you for the band-aid. I love you, mom." + +She hugged her mom and ran to the slide again. She climbed up the ladder and slid down. She was careful of the rocks and landed safely. She laughed and said, "Mom, look at me! I did it!" + +Her mom clapped and said, "Good job, Lily! You're a very intelligent and brave girl. I'm proud of you. I love you, too." +Anna and Ben were very happy. It was Christmas Eve and they had many gifts under the tree. They wanted to open them, but Mom and Dad said they had to wait until morning. + +"Can we wrap one more gift for Mom and Dad?" Anna asked Ben. "They are so nice to us and they work very hard." + +"Okay, let's do it!" Ben agreed. They went to their room and looked for something to give. Anna found a picture she had drawn of their family. Ben found a toy car he had made from a box and some wheels. + +They got some paper and tape and scissors from the craft drawer. They carefully wrapped their gifts with the paper. Anna chose a red paper with stars. Ben chose a green paper with trees. They wrote their names on the paper with a marker. + +They tiptoed back to the living room and put their gifts under the tree. They felt a warm and happy feeling in their hearts. They had the Christmas spirit. + +"Mom and Dad will love our gifts!" Anna whispered. + +"Yes, they will!" Ben whispered back. "And we love them too!" + +They hugged each other and went to bed. They dreamed of Christmas morning and the joy of giving and receiving. +True is a dog. He is big and brown and has a long tail. He likes to play with his friend, Ben. Ben is a boy. He is small and has curly hair and blue eyes. He likes to hug and pet True. + +One day, Ben and True go to the park. They see many things. They see birds and flowers and swings and slides. They also see a cat. The cat is black and white and has a short tail. It is sitting on a bench. + +"Look, True, a cat!" Ben says. He runs to the cat. He wants to say hello. + +True does not like the cat. He thinks the cat is ugly and mean. He barks at the cat. He wants to scare it away. + +The cat does not like True. It thinks True is loud and rude. It hisses at True. It wants to scratch him. + +Ben does not understand. He likes both True and the cat. He thinks they can be friends. He picks up the cat. He brings it to True. + +"True, this is the cat. Cat, this is True. You are both nice. You can play together," Ben says. He smiles. + +The cat and True look at each other. They do not want to play. They do not want to be friends. They shake their heads. + +Ben is sad. He does not know why they do not like each other. He puts the cat back on the bench. He hugs True. + +"True, why don't you like the cat? The cat is not ugly. The cat is not mean. The cat is just different," Ben says. + +True nods. He knows Ben is right. The cat is not ugly. The cat is not mean. The cat is just different. But True still does not like the cat. He likes Ben. He likes birds and flowers and swings and slides. He does not like cats. + +He licks Ben's face. He wags his tail. He wants to make Ben happy. + +"Come on, True. Let's go play. Maybe we can find another friend. A friend who likes dogs," Ben says. + +True nods again. He follows Ben. He is happy. He has Ben. He does not need the cat. He is True. +Lily and Ben are playing with blocks in their room. They like to build high towers and knock them down. Lily finds a big block with a crack on it. She thinks it is funny and shows it to Ben. + +"Look, Ben, this block has a crack. It is broken!" she says. + +Ben takes the block from Lily and looks at it. He does not think it is funny. He thinks it is bad. + +"No, Lily, this block is not good. It has a crack. It can break more. We should leave it alone," he says. + +But Lily does not listen to Ben. She wants to use the block to make her tower higher. She takes it back from Ben and puts it on top of her tower. She smiles and claps her hands. + +"See, Ben, my tower is high. It is higher than yours. The crack does not matter," she says. + +Ben shakes his head. He does not like Lily's tower. He thinks it is not safe. He tries to tell Lily to take the block off, but she does not hear him. She is too busy looking at her tower. + +Suddenly, the block with the crack falls off the tower. It hits the floor and breaks into two pieces. The tower shakes and falls down too. The blocks make a loud noise and scatter everywhere. Lily and Ben are scared and surprised. They look at the mess and the broken block. + +"Oh no, Lily, look what you did. You broke the block. You made the tower fall. You made a mess. You should have left the block alone," Ben says. + +Lily feels sad and sorry. She knows Ben is right. She should have listened to him. She should have left the block alone. She hugs Ben and says, + +"I'm sorry, Ben. You were right. I was wrong. I should have left the block alone. Can we still be friends?" + +Ben hugs Lily back and says, + +"Of course we can, Lily. We are always friends. But next time, please leave the crack blocks alone. OK?" + +Lily nods and says, + +"OK, Ben. I will. And next time, we can build a high tower together. With no crack blocks." + +They smile and hug again. Then they start to pick up the blocks and clean up the mess. They are still friends. And they still like to play with blocks. But they leave the crack blocks alone. +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to look for bugs and flowers. They saw a big green caterpillar on a leaf. It was flexible and could bend and curl. + +"Look, a caterpillar!" Lily said. "Can we touch it?" + +"Be gentle," Ben said. "It is soft and small." + +They took turns to stroke the caterpillar. It tickled their fingers. They smiled and laughed. + +Then they heard a splash. They looked up and saw a bird in the birdbath. It was flapping its wings and shaking its feathers. It made the water splash everywhere. + +"Wow, a bird!" Ben said. "Can we watch it?" + +"Yes, let's go," Lily said. + +They ran to the birdbath. They saw the bird splash and sing. It was blue and yellow and bright. + +"Hello, bird!" Lily said. "You are pretty and noisy." + +The bird looked at them and chirped. It splashed some more water on them. They giggled and splashed back. + +They had fun with the caterpillar and the bird. They loved the garden and its creatures. +Lily liked to watch the birds in the big birdcage in the park. She wished she could join them and fly in the sky. She liked their colors and their songs. She wanted to be their friend. + +One day, she saw a new bird in the birdcage. It was small and gray and had a yellow beak. It looked sad and lonely. Lily felt sorry for it. She walked up to the birdcage and said, "Hello, little bird. What is your name?" + +The little bird looked at Lily and said, "My name is Pip. I am new here. The other birds are mean to me. They are jealous of my beak. They say it is too bright and ugly. They peck at me and chase me away. I have no friends." + +Lily felt angry at the other birds. She said, "That is not nice. Your beak is beautiful. It is like a sunflower. I like sunflowers. They make me happy. You can be my friend. I will come and visit you every day. I will bring you seeds and water. I will talk to you and sing to you. Do you like that?" + +Pip smiled and said, "Yes, I like that. Thank you, Lily. You are very kind. You make me happy too. You can be my friend. I will listen to you and sing with you. Do you want to join me in the birdcage?" + +Lily thought for a moment. She said, "No, thank you, Pip. I like to watch you in the birdcage, but I do not want to join you. I like to run and play and hug my mommy and daddy. I like to be free. But I will always be your friend. And maybe one day, you can be free too." + +Pip nodded and said, "I hope so, Lily. I hope so. But until then, I am glad I have you. You are the best friend I ever had." +Sam liked to take pictures with his camera. He wanted to be a successful photographer when he grew up. He liked to take pictures of animals, flowers, and his family. + +One day, he went to the park with his mom and dad. He saw a big duck on the pond. He wanted to take a picture of it. He ran to the edge of the water and pointed his camera at the duck. + +"Say cheese, duck!" he shouted. + +But the duck did not like Sam's camera. It quacked loudly and flapped its wings. It splashed water at Sam and his camera. + +"Uh-oh!" Sam said. "The duck is angry!" + +He tried to run away, but he slipped on the wet grass and fell down. His camera flew out of his hand and landed in the pond. + +"Sam, are you okay?" his mom asked. She ran to him and helped him get up. + +"I'm okay, mom," Sam said. "But my camera is in the water!" + +His dad looked at the pond. He saw the camera sinking to the bottom. + +"Don't worry, Sam," his dad said. "I'll try to get it for you." + +He took off his shoes and socks and rolled up his pants. He walked into the pond and reached for the camera. He felt the cold water on his legs and feet. + +He grabbed the camera and lifted it out of the water. He walked back to the shore and gave it to Sam. + +"Here you go, Sam," he said. "Your camera is safe." + +Sam looked at his camera. It was wet and dirty. He tried to turn it on, but it did not work. + +"Oh, no," he said. "My camera is broken!" + +He felt sad. He hugged his camera and cried. + +His mom and dad hugged him too. + +"It's okay, Sam," his mom said. "We can buy you a new camera." + +"Really?" Sam asked. + +"Really," his dad said. "But next time, be careful with your camera. And don't make the duck angry." + +Sam nodded. He wiped his tears and smiled. + +"Thank you, mom and dad," he said. "You are the best." + +He gave them a big kiss. + +The end. +Lily liked to bake with her mom. They made cakes and pies and cookies. Lily liked to mix and stir and pour. She liked to smell the sweet things in the oven. + +One day, Lily and her mom went to the farm. They saw many animals there. They saw pigs and sheep and horses. Lily liked to pet them and feed them. But her favorite animal was the cow. + +The cow was big and black and white. She had a bell around her neck. She said "moo" and gave milk. Lily wanted to be friends with the cow. + +"Hello, cow," Lily said. "Do you like to bake?" + +The cow looked at Lily and said "moo". + +Lily smiled and said "I like to bake. I can make you a cake. Do you want a cake?" + +The cow nodded and said "moo". + +Lily ran to her mom and asked "Can we make a cake for the cow?" + +Her mom laughed and said "Sure, why not? The cow is very smart. She knows a good baker when she sees one." + +Lily and her mom went to the kitchen. They took flour and eggs and sugar and butter. They mixed and stirred and poured. They put the cake in the oven. They waited for it to be done. + +When the cake was ready, they took it out. They put some frosting and sprinkles on it. They wrote "For the cow" with a big heart. + +Lily and her mom went back to the farm. They found the cow and gave her the cake. The cow was very happy. She said "moo" and licked the cake. She shared some with Lily and her mom. + +Lily hugged the cow and said "You are my friend. I like to bake for you." + +The cow hugged Lily and said "Moo. You are my friend. I like your cake." + +Lily and the cow were very happy. They had a bake and a cake and a friend. +Ben and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. They heard a knock on the door. Mommy went to open it. Ben and Lily followed her. They saw a man with a big box. He smiled and said, "Hello, I have a delivery for you." + +Mommy took the box and thanked the man. She closed the door and put the box on the floor. She said, "This is a surprise for you, Ben and Lily. Do you want to see what's inside?" + +Ben and Lily nodded. They were excited. They helped Mommy open the box. They saw a lot of paper and bubble wrap. They moved them away. They saw something furry and brown. It moved and made a noise. It was a puppy! + +Ben and Lily gasped. They loved puppies. They reached out to touch the puppy. The puppy licked their hands and wagged its tail. It was happy. Mommy said, "This is your new friend. His name is Spot. He arrived today from the shelter. He needs a home and a family. Do you want to keep him?" + +Ben and Lily hugged the puppy. They said, "Yes, yes, yes! We want to keep him! Thank you, Mommy! We love you and Spot!" Mommy smiled and hugged them too. She said, "You're welcome, my sweeties. I love you and Spot too!" + +The puppy looked at them with his big brown eyes. He was confused. He did not know where he was or who they were. But he felt warm and safe. He liked them. He thought, "Maybe this is my home and my family. Maybe I will be happy here." He snuggled with them and fell asleep. +Tom and Lily were best friends. They liked to play in the park every day. They ran, jumped, and laughed on the grass. The grass was green and soft. It tickled their feet. + +One day, they saw a big dog in the park. The dog was brown and furry. It barked and wagged its tail. Tom and Lily wanted to pet the dog. They thought the dog was friendly and normal. + +"Hello, dog!" Tom said. He walked towards the dog. Lily followed him. She held his hand. She was a little scared of the dog. + +The dog saw Tom and Lily. It ran to them. It licked their faces. It was happy to see them. Tom and Lily giggled. They petted the dog. They liked the dog. + +"Can we keep the dog?" Tom asked Lily. + +"I don't know," Lily said. "We have to ask our moms and dads." + +"Maybe they will say yes," Tom said. "The dog is nice and normal. He likes us. We can trust him." + +"OK," Lily said. "Let's go and ask them. Come on, dog!" + +Tom and Lily and the dog went to their moms and dads. They hoped they could keep the dog. They loved the dog. The dog loved them. They were happy. +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and look for treasures. Sometimes they found shiny stones, or pretty shells, or funny bugs. + +One day, they found something very special. It was a big, yellow jewel. It sparkled in the sun like a star. Lily and Ben were very happy. They wanted to show it to their mom and dad. + +"Look what we found!" they shouted, running to the house. "It's a yellow jewel!" + +Mom and dad were surprised. They looked at the jewel and smiled. + +"That's a beautiful jewel," mom said. "Where did you find it?" + +"In the garden," Ben said. "We dug it up. Can we keep it?" + +Mom and dad looked at each other. They knew the jewel was not really a jewel. It was a glass bead that had fallen off a necklace. But they did not want to spoil the fun. + +"Of course you can keep it," dad said. "It's a very special jewel. You know what? It's a magic jewel. If you make a wish, it might come true." + +Lily and Ben were amazed. They had a magic jewel. They wondered what to wish for. + +"I wish for a big cake," Lily said. + +"I wish for a new bike," Ben said. + +They closed their eyes and held the jewel tight. They hoped their wishes would come true. + +But nothing happened. The jewel did not change. It was still a yellow jewel. + +Lily and Ben opened their eyes and looked at each other. They felt a little sad. + +"Maybe the jewel is broken," Lily said. + +"Maybe we wished for the wrong things," Ben said. + +They thought for a moment. Then they had an idea. + +"Maybe we should wish for something else," Lily said. + +"Something more important," Ben said. + +They nodded and smiled. They knew what to wish for. + +They closed their eyes again and held the jewel tight. They made the same wish. + +"I wish we are always happy and healthy and love each other," they said. + +They opened their eyes and looked at the jewel. It was still a yellow jewel. But it seemed to glow a little brighter. + +Lily and Ben felt a warm feeling in their hearts. They hugged each other and laughed. + +They did not know if their wish had come true. But they did not care. They had each other. And they had a yellow jewel. And that was enough. +Ben was an adventurous boy who liked to explore new places. He had a drum that he loved to play with. He made loud noises with it and pretended he was a brave warrior. + +One day, he decided to search for a new place to play with his drum. He put on his hat and his backpack and took his drum with him. He walked around the yard, looking for a good spot. He saw a big tree, a swing, a sandbox, and a slide. But he wanted something more exciting. + +He saw a fence that had a hole in it. He wondered what was on the other side. He crawled through the hole and found himself in a different yard. He saw a lot of flowers, a fountain, a birdhouse, and a doghouse. He thought it was a beautiful place. + +He walked towards the doghouse, hoping to find a friendly dog. He knocked on the door with his drum and said, "Hello, is anyone home?" + +He heard a loud bark and saw a big dog come out of the doghouse. The dog was not happy to see Ben. He growled and showed his teeth. He did not like strangers in his yard. + +Ben was scared. He dropped his drum and ran back to the hole in the fence. He crawled through it and ran to his own yard. He was glad to be safe. + +He looked for his drum, but he could not find it. He had left it in the other yard. He felt sad. He wanted his drum back. + +He decided to wait until the dog was asleep. He hoped the dog would not break his drum. He planned to sneak back and get his drum later. He was still an adventurous boy, but he learned to be more careful. +Anna liked to play with her mom's makeup. She thought it was fun to put on lipstick, eye shadow and blush. She wanted to look like her mom, who was very smart and pretty. + +One day, Anna found her mom's makeup bag in the bathroom. She opened it and saw many colors and brushes. She decided to try some on. She put on red lipstick, blue eye shadow and pink blush. She looked in the mirror and smiled. She thought she looked like a princess. + +She went to show her mom, who was in the kitchen. She said, "Mom, look at me! I have makeup on!" + +Her mom turned and saw her. She was surprised and a little angry. She said, "Anna, what did you do? That is my makeup, not yours. You are too young to wear makeup. You might hurt your skin or eyes. And you made a mess in the bathroom. You need to wash it off and clean up right now." + +Anna felt sad and sorry. She did not mean to make her mom angry. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I just wanted to look like you. You are so smart and pretty. I love you." + +Her mom hugged her and said, "I love you too, Anna. You don't need makeup to look like me. You are already smart and pretty, just the way you are. Makeup is for grown-ups, not for kids. Maybe when you are older, I can teach you how to use it properly. But for now, let's go and wash it off and clean up, okay?" + +Anna nodded and said, "Okay, mom. Thank you for being nice to me." + +They went to the bathroom and washed off the makeup. They cleaned up the mess and put the makeup bag away. They smiled at each other and went to the living room to read a book together. Anna was happy to have a smart and pretty mom who loved her. +Lily liked to be organized. She had a place for everything in her room. She put her toys in the toy box, her books on the shelf, and her clothes in the closet. She did not like when things were messy or out of order. + +One day, her cousin Max came to visit. Max liked to play, but he did not like to clean up. He took out all of Lily's toys and books and threw them on the floor. He made a big pile of clothes and jumped on it. He said it was fun. + +Lily was not happy. She asked Max to stop and help her put everything back. But Max did not listen. He said he wanted to play more. He ran around the room and tripped over a toy car. He fell down and hurt his knee. He started to cry. + +Lily felt sorry for Max. She went to him and gave him a hug. She said, "It's okay, Max. I will help you. But you have to let me clean up my room. It is not nice to make a mess and not help. Do you understand?" + +Max nodded. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I was just having fun. I didn't mean to make you sad or hurt myself. I will let you clean up your room. And I will help you too. Can we still be friends?" + +Lily smiled. She said, "Of course we can, Max. You are my cousin and I love you. But next time, please be more careful and respectful. Okay?" + +Max agreed. He said, "Okay, Lily. I will. Thank you for being nice to me." + +They hugged again and then started to clean up the room together. They put everything in its place and made it look organized again. They were both happy and proud of their work. They decided to play a different game that did not make a mess. They had a lot of fun and learned a lesson. +Tom was very tired after playing all day. He wanted to go to bed and have a nice dream. But he was also curious about the big box in the living room. His mom said it was a surprise for him, but she did not tell him what was inside. + +"Can I see the surprise now, mom?" Tom asked, as he walked to the living room. + +"Not yet, Tom. You have to wait until tomorrow. It's time for bed now," his mom said, as she picked him up and carried him to his room. + +"But I want to see it now, mom. Please, please, please," Tom begged, as he tried to wiggle out of her arms. + +"Sorry, Tom. No peeking. You will see it in the morning, I promise. It's something amazing, just for you," his mom said, as she put him in his bed and tucked him in. + +"Something amazing? What is it, mom? Is it a toy? Is it a book? Is it a cake?" Tom asked, as he looked at his mom with big eyes. + +"You'll have to wait and see, Tom. It's a secret. Now, close your eyes and sleep well. I love you, Tom," his mom said, as she kissed him on the forehead and turned off the light. + +Tom closed his eyes and tried to sleep. But he could not stop thinking about the big box in the living room. He wondered what was inside. He wondered if it was something amazing. He wondered if he could sneak out of his bed and enter the living room and peek at the surprise. He was very curious and very excited. + +But he was also very tired and very sleepy. Soon, he fell asleep and had a nice dream. He dreamed that he opened the big box and found a big, fluffy, friendly bear that hugged him and played with him. He was very happy and very amazed. He did not know that his dream was about to come true. +Tim and Sam were brothers 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. + +Tim wanted to swim in the lake, but Sam was scared of the water. He said, "No, no, no, I don't want to swim. The water is cold and deep and maybe there are monsters in it." + +Tim was frustrated with Sam. He said, "Don't be silly, Sam. There are no monsters in the lake. The water is nice and warm and you can see the fish and ducks. Come on, let's swim together. I will hold your hand and help you." + +Sam shook his head and clung to his mom.

He felt a little curious, but still scared. He said, "Maybe, maybe, maybe, I will try to swim. But only a little bit. And you have to hold my hand and stay close to me." + +Tim smiled and said, "Okay, okay, okay, I will hold your hand and stay close to you. Come on, Sam, let's swim together. You will like it, I promise." + +Sam took a deep breath and let go of his mom. He walked to the lake with Tim and his dad. He felt the water on his feet and legs. He felt cold and wet, but also ticklish and funny. He held Tim's hand and said, "Okay, okay, okay, I will swim with you. But only a little bit." + +Tim and Sam swam together in the lake. They saw the fish and the duck. They laughed and hugged. They were not scared, they were happy. +Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play outside. They had a big yard with a tree, a swing, and a sandbox. But today it was cold and rainy, and they had to stay inside. They felt miserable. + +They tried to play with their toys, but they got bored. They tried to watch TV, but they did not like the shows. They tried to draw, but they ran out of paper. They started to fight and yell at each other. + +"Quit it!" Tim shouted, as Sam pulled his hair. + +"No, you quit it!" Sam shouted back, as Tim kicked his leg. + +Mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw the boys on the floor, pulling and kicking and crying. She was not happy. + +"Boys, boys, stop this right now!" she said. "Why are you fighting? Don't you love each other?" + +Tim and Sam looked at Mom and felt sorry. They nodded and hugged each other. + +"We're sorry, Mom," they said. "We love each other, but we're bored. We want to play outside." + +Mom smiled and hugged them back. She understood how they felt. She had an idea. + +"Come with me," she said. "I have a surprise for you." + +She took them to the living room, where there was a big fireplace. She lit a fire and put some marshmallows on a stick. She gave the stick to the boys and told them to roast the marshmallows over the fire. + +"Be careful, don't get too close to the chimney," she said. "It's hot and smoky." + +The boys did as Mom said and roasted their marshmallows. They watched the fire dance and crackle. They smelled the sweet and smoky marshmallows. They tasted the gooey and warm treats. They felt cozy and happy. + +They forgot about the rain and the cold. They forgot about being bored and miserable. They thanked Mom for the surprise and told her they loved her. + +Mom smiled and kissed them. She loved them too. + +The end. +Lily loved 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. She gave them names and stories and made them talk to each other. + +One day, she was playing with her dollhouse when she heard a loud noise. She turned around and saw that her brother Ben had knocked over her toy box. He was looking for his car, but he had made a big mess. Lily was angry and sad. She saw that one of her dolls had fallen out of the toy box and was broken. It was her favorite doll, Anna, the princess. Her dress was torn and her arm was loose. + +"Ben, you broke my doll!" Lily cried. "You are a bad brother!" + +"I'm sorry, Lily," Ben said. "I didn't mean to break your doll. I was looking for my car. Can I help you fix it?" + +Lily sniffed and looked at her doll. She loved Anna and didn't want her to be broken. She wondered if Ben could fix her. + +"Can you really fix her?" she asked. + +"Yes, I can," Ben said. "I have some glue and some scissors and some tape. I can fix her dress and her arm. I can be gentle and careful. Please let me try." + +Lily thought for a moment. She was still angry, but she also wanted her doll to be fixed. She decided to give Ben a chance. + +"Okay, you can try," she said. "But you have to be very gentle and very careful. And you have to say sorry to Anna." + +Ben nodded and smiled. He took the doll and the glue and the scissors and the tape and went to his room. He worked hard to fix the doll. He glued her arm back and taped it. He cut off the torn part of her dress and made a new hem. He even found a ribbon and made a bow for her hair. He was gentle and careful and he said sorry to Anna. + +He brought the doll back to Lily and gave it to her. Lily looked at the doll and saw that she was fixed. She was happy and surprised. She hugged the doll and thanked Ben. + +"Thank you, Ben," she said. "You fixed my doll. You are a good brother." + +"You're welcome, Lily," Ben said. "I'm sorry I broke your doll. Can I play with you?" + +Lily smiled and nodded. She invited Ben to join her in the dollhouse. She made him the king and they played together. They had fun and they were gentle and careful with the dolls. They were happy. +Lily and Tom were friends. They liked to play outside. One day, they went to the lake with their moms.

They sang songs and told jokes. They had a great time. + +Lily and Tom thanked their moms for the boat ride. They hugged and said goodbye. They went home happy. They dreamed of the lake and the little boat. +Lily was a bird who liked to soar in the sky. She felt happy and free when she flew high and fast. She had many friends who also liked to soar with her.

She flew down and landed on a big leaf. She looked around and saw many strange things. She saw frogs, snakes, bugs and crocodiles. She had never seen them before. + +"Hello, little bird," said a crocodile. He had big teeth and a long tail. He smiled at Lily. "Do you want to be my friend?" + +Lily was frightened. She did not want to be the crocodile's friend. She wanted to fly away. But she was too scared to move. She did not know what to do. + +"Help, help!" she cried. "Someone help me!" + +Her friends heard her cry. They flew down and saw the crocodile. They were brave and smart. They made loud noises and threw sticks and stones at him. They made him angry and scared. He ran away and hid in the water. + +"Lily, Lily, are you okay?" they asked. They flew to her and hugged her. They were glad she was safe. + +"Thank you, thank you," Lily said. "You are my best friends. I love you." + +She learned a lesson that day. She learned that some places are not safe and some animals are not nice. She learned that she should always stay with her friends and listen to them. She learned that soaring in the sky was better than landing in the swamp. She never went to the swamp again. She was happy and free again. +Sara and Ben like to play with crayons. They have many colors of crayons. They draw on paper and on the wall. Mama does not like when they draw on the wall. She says it makes a mark that is hard to clean. + +One day, Sara and Ben find a new crayon. It is white. They wonder what it can do. They try to draw on paper, but they cannot see anything. They try to draw on the wall, but they cannot see anything. They are confused. + +"Maybe it is a magic crayon," Sara says. + +"Maybe it can make things disappear," Ben says. + +They look around the room. They see a red mark on the wall. Mama made the mark when she was painting. She said she would fix it later. + +"Let's try the magic crayon on the red mark," Sara says. + +"OK," Ben says. + +They take the white crayon and draw over the red mark. They rub hard. They look at the wall. The red mark is gone. They see a pale mark instead. It is almost the same color as the wall. + +"Wow, it worked!" Sara says. + +"We made the red mark disappear!" Ben says. + +They are happy. They think they have a magic crayon. They do not know that the white crayon is just a wax crayon. They do not know that the pale mark is still a mark. They do not know that Mama will be angry when she sees it. They do not know that they will have to clean the wall. They only know that they have fun with the magic crayon. +Sara and Ben were playing in the snow. They liked to make snowballs and throw them at each other. They also liked to make snowmen and snow angels. They had a lot of fun. + +One day, they saw something new in the snow. It was a pole. It was very tall and shiny. It had a bright red flag on top. Sara and Ben wondered what it was. + +"Let's go and see!" Sara said. + +"OK!" Ben said. + +They ran to the pole. They touched it. It was cold and hard. They looked up. The flag was waving in the wind. + +"What is this?" Sara asked. + +"I don't know," Ben said. "Maybe it's a sign." + +"A sign for what?" Sara asked. + +"Maybe it's a sign for a treasure!" Ben said. + +"A treasure?" Sara said. "Where?" + +"Maybe under the snow!" Ben said. + +They started to dig around the pole. They hoped to find something shiny and pretty. They dug and dug. They did not find anything. + +They were sad. They wanted to find a treasure. + +"Maybe there is no treasure," Sara said. + +"Maybe not," Ben said. + +They looked at the pole again. They saw the bright red flag. It was still waving in the wind. + +They smiled. They had an idea. + +"Maybe the flag is the treasure!" Sara said. + +"Maybe it is!" Ben said. + +They climbed on the pole. They reached for the flag. They pulled it down. They wrapped it around themselves. They felt warm and happy. + +They had discovered a treasure. They had discovered a flag. +Tom likes to work with his dad. His dad is a builder. He builds houses and walls and roofs. Tom has a toy hammer and a toy saw. He helps his dad work. + +One day, Tom and his dad go to a big site. There are many builders there. They are working hard. Tom sees a big pile of bricks. He wants to help. He picks up a brick. It is heavy. He tries to carry it to the wall. + +"Tom, be careful!" his dad says. "That brick is too heavy for you. You might drop it and hurt yourself. Or you might hurt someone else. Why don't you do some exercise instead?" + +"Exercise?" Tom asks. "What is exercise?" + +"Exercise is when you move your body and make it strong and healthy. Like this." His dad shows him how to do jumping jacks and push-ups and squats. "Can you do that?" + +Tom nods. He puts down the brick. He tries to do the same as his dad. He jumps and pushes and squats. He feels his heart beat fast and his muscles burn. He likes it. He smiles. + +"Good job, Tom!" his dad says. "You are doing great exercise. You are a good helper. And you are a good son. I love you." + +"I love you too, dad," Tom says. "And I love to work with you." +One day, Anna and her mom went to the zoo. Anna loved to see the animals and learn their names. She saw lions, monkeys, elephants and many more. She was very happy and curious. + +Then, they came to a big cage with a lot of birds. Anna saw some birds that were very colorful and noisy. They had red, blue, yellow and green feathers. They were parrots. Anna liked them a lot. She tried to talk to them, but they only repeated what she said. + +"Hello, parrots!" Anna said. + +"Hello, parrots!" the parrots said. + +Anna laughed. She thought they were funny. + +But then, she saw another bird that was very different. It was not colorful or noisy. It was gray and quiet. It had a long neck and a big beak. It was an ostrich. Anna did not recognize it. She had never seen it before. + +"Mom, what is that?" Anna asked, pointing at the ostrich. + +"That is an ostrich, Anna. It is a very big bird. It can run very fast, but it cannot fly." Mom explained. + +"Wow, it is so big! Can I touch it?" Anna asked. + +"No, Anna, you cannot touch it. It might bite you. It is not very friendly. You can only look at it from here." Mom said. + +Anna nodded. She looked at the ostrich with wonder. She thought it was strange and interesting. She wanted to learn more about it. + +She asked Mom many questions about the ostrich. Mom answered them patiently. Anna learned that the ostrich was from Africa, that it ate plants and insects, and that it had two toes on each foot. + +Anna was very smart and eager to learn. She liked the zoo and the animals. She had a lot of fun that day. +Lily and Ben liked to play with blocks. They had many blocks of different colors and shapes. They could make structures with their blocks, like houses, towers, bridges, and cars. + +One day, they decided to try something new. They wanted to mix their blocks and make unusual structures. They took some blocks from each other's piles and put them together. + +"Look, I made a rainbow tower!" Lily said, showing Ben her structure. It had blocks of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. + +"That's pretty!" Ben said. "And look, I made a funny car!" He showed Lily his structure. It had blocks of black, white, brown, and pink. + +They laughed and admired each other's structures. They thought they were very creative and clever. + +But then, their baby brother Tom came crawling into the room. He saw the blocks and wanted to play with them too. He reached for the rainbow tower and the funny car. + +"Tom, no!" Lily and Ben shouted. "Those are our structures! Don't break them!" + +But it was too late. Tom grabbed the blocks and pulled them apart. He threw some of them on the floor and put some of them in his mouth. + +Lily and Ben were sad and angry. They tried to get their blocks back from Tom, but he cried and kicked. They didn't know what to do. + +Then, their mom came into the room. She saw the mess and the noise. She picked up Tom and took the blocks out of his mouth. + +"Tom, you can't play with these blocks. They are too small for you. You could choke on them. And you can't ruin your siblings' structures. They worked hard on them. You have to be gentle and share," she said. + +She gave Tom a big hug and a kiss. She gave him some bigger blocks that were safe for him. She helped Lily and Ben pick up their blocks and put them back in their piles. + +She said, "I'm sorry, Lily and Ben. I know you were having fun with your blocks. You made some very unusual structures. They were very beautiful and interesting. Maybe you can make them again another day. And maybe you can show Tom how to play with blocks when he is older." + +Lily and Ben nodded. They felt better. They thanked their mom and gave her a hug and a kiss. They decided to play with something else for now. They still liked to mix their blocks and make unusual structures, but they also liked to play with Tom and make him happy. They were a good family. +Lily and Max were playing in the yard with their dog, Spot. They had a lot of fun running, jumping, and throwing a ball for Spot to catch. Spot was very fast and good at catching the ball. He was also very adorable, with his black and white fur and his floppy ears. + +After a while, Lily and Max started to feel tired. They sat down on the grass and watched Spot chase a butterfly. Lily yawned and said, "I'm sleepy. Can we go inside and have a nap?" + +Max nodded and yawned too. He said, "Me too. Let's go. Come on, Spot!" He whistled for Spot to follow them. + +Spot heard Max and ran to them. He licked their faces and wagged his tail. He was also sleepy, but he loved his humans. He followed them inside the house, where they all snuggled on the couch and fell asleep. They had a nice dream about playing in the yard again. +Lila and Ben were playing in the sandbox. They liked to dig and make shapes with the sand. Lila found a shiny stone in the sand. She was very happy. + +"Look, Ben, I found a mineral!" she said, holding the stone. + +Ben looked at the stone. He wanted it too. He tried to grab it from Lila. + +"Give me the mineral!" he demanded. + +"No, it's mine!" Lila said, pulling the stone away. + +They started to fight over the stone. They yelled and pushed each other. The stone fell to the ground. It was dirty and covered with sand. + +A teacher saw them and came over. She was not happy. + +"What are you doing?" she asked. "Why are you fighting?" + +They both pointed at the stone. + +"We want the mineral!" they said. + +The teacher picked up the stone. She wiped off the sand. + +"This is not a mineral," she said. "This is a bottle cap. It's trash. You shouldn't fight over trash." + +She threw the bottle cap in the garbage. She told them to share and play nicely. + +Lila and Ben felt silly. They said sorry to each other. They decided to look for real minerals instead. They found some shells and pebbles. They were happy. +Lila and Ben are twins. They like to play in the sand near the sea. They make castles and tunnels and draw shapes with sticks. Sometimes they splash in the water, but not too much. The water is very salty and it stings their eyes. + +One day, it is very hot. The sun is bright and the air is sticky. Lila and Ben feel tired and thirsty. They drink some juice from their bottles, but it is not enough. They want to go home and have some water and ice cream. + +"Mom, can we go home now?" Lila asks. "It is too hot and we are thirsty." + +"Yes, my loves, we can go home soon. Just pack your toys and towels and we will go," Mom says. + +Lila and Ben pack their things and follow Mom to the car. They are happy to sit in the shade and feel the breeze from the window. Mom turns on the radio and sings along. Lila and Ben sing too, but not for long. They close their eyes and sleep. They dream of water and ice cream and sand castles. +Lily liked to walk with her dog, Spot. Spot was a big dog, but he was very sweet. He did not bark or bite. He liked to lick Lily's face and wag his tail. + +One day, Lily and Spot went to the park. There were many other dogs and people there. Lily saw a small dog with a red collar. She wanted to pet it. She asked her mom, "Can I say hello to that dog?" + +Her mom said, "You have to ask the owner first. And you have to mind Spot. He might get jealous or scared." + +Lily nodded and walked to the owner. She said, "Hello, can I pet your dog? He is very cute." + +The owner smiled and said, "Sure, his name is Max. He is friendly, but he likes to chase balls. You can throw one for him if you want." + +Lily said, "Thank you. I have a ball in my pocket." She took out the ball and threw it. Max ran after it and brought it back. He dropped it at Lily's feet and wagged his tail. + +Lily laughed and threw the ball again. She had fun playing with Max. She looked at Spot. He was sitting by her mom, watching them. He did not look happy. He looked sad. + +Lily felt sorry for Spot. She loved him very much. She did not want him to feel left out. She ran to him and hugged him. She said, "Spot, you are my best friend. I love you. Do you want to play with me and Max?" + +Spot licked her face and wagged his tail. He was happy again. He followed Lily to Max. They played together with the ball. They ran and jumped and rolled. They had fun. + +Lily's mom watched them and smiled. She was proud of Lily. She said, "Lily, you are very kind. You mind your dog and you make new friends. You are a sweet girl." +Sara and Ben are playing with paper and scissors. They want to make shapes and animals. Sara cuts a circle and a triangle. Ben cuts a square and a rectangle. They are happy with their shapes. + +But then Ben wants to cut more. He sees Sara's hair and thinks it is like paper. He takes the scissors and cuts a piece of Sara's hair. Sara feels a pull and a pain. She cries out loud. + +"Ow! Ben, why did you cut my hair? It hurts!" + +Ben is scared. He did not know hair would hurt. He drops the scissors and says sorry. + +"I'm sorry, Sara. I did not mean to hurt you. I thought your hair was good to cut. I was wrong." + +Sara is still crying. She touches her hair and sees the piece that Ben cut. She is sad and angry. + +"Ben, you are bad. You made my hair ugly. You are not my friend." + +Ben feels bad. He wants to make Sara happy again. He thinks of something. He picks up the scissors and cuts his own hair. He shows Sara the piece he cut. + +"Look, Sara. I cut my hair too. Now we are the same. I am sorry. Can we be friends?" + +Sara looks at Ben. She sees his hair is also ugly. She feels sorry for him. She stops crying and smiles. + +"OK, Ben. We can be friends. But don't cut hair again. Hair is not good to cut. Paper is good to cut. Let's play with paper." + +They hug and play with paper. They make more shapes and animals. They are happy again. +Tim and his dad liked to mail letters to his grandma. She lived in a distant place, far away from their house. Tim missed her a lot and wanted to see her soon. + +One day, Tim and his dad went to the post office with a big envelope. Tim had drawn a picture of a motorcycle for his grandma, because he knew she liked them. He also wrote his name and a heart on it. He was very proud of his work. + +"Can I put the letter in the box, dad?" Tim asked. + +"Sure, buddy. Here you go." His dad handed him the envelope and lifted him up. + +Tim reached for the slot and pushed the envelope in. He heard a thud as it landed inside. + +"Bye bye, letter! Have a nice trip!" Tim waved. + +"Bye bye, letter! Say hi to grandma for us!" His dad echoed. + +They got back in their car and drove away. Tim hoped his grandma would like his picture and write back to him soon. He wondered if she had a motorcycle of her own. He wished he could ride with her someday. He smiled and hugged his dad. He loved his dad and his grandma very much. +Lila and Ben were playing in the park with their dog, Rex. Rex was a big, brown dog who liked to run and jump and fetch. Lila and Ben loved Rex very much. + +One day, they saw a man with a guitar. He was sitting on a bench and singing songs. He had a hat on the ground with some coins in it. Lila and Ben liked his songs and went closer to listen. + +"Hello, little ones," the man said. "Do you like music?" + +"Yes, we do," Lila said. "You sing very well." + +"Thank you," the man said. "Do you want to hear a special song?" + +"Yes, please," Ben said. + +The man smiled and started to play a song. It was a song about a dog who was very brave and loyal. He sang about how the dog helped his owner, who was an ancient king, fight against bad people. He sang about how the dog saved the king's life and how the king gave him a medal. + +Lila and Ben listened with wonder. They looked at Rex and thought he was also very brave and loyal. Rex wagged his tail and barked along with the song. + +When the song was over, Lila and Ben clapped their hands. They applauded the man and his guitar. They also applauded Rex and his barks. + +"Wow, that was a great song," Lila said. + +"And Rex was a great singer," Ben said. + +The man laughed and thanked them. He gave them each a coin from his hat. He also petted Rex and praised him. + +"You have a wonderful dog," he said. "He has a lot of spirit and heart. He reminds me of the dog in the song. He is a hero on four heels." + +Lila and Ben hugged Rex and thanked the man. They said goodbye and went back to playing with their dog. They felt happy and proud. They knew Rex was their hero and their friend. +Ben and Mia were playing in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. Ben had a new belt. It was blue and shiny. He was very proud of it. + +"Look at my belt, Mia!" he said. "It is original. No one else has a belt like this." + +Mia looked at his belt. She thought it was nice, but she liked her own belt better. It was pink and had flowers on it. She did not say anything. She did not want to hurt Ben's feelings. + +They played some more. Then they saw a big dog. It was brown and fluffy. It had a collar and a leash. A man was holding the leash. The dog barked and wagged its tail. + +"Wow, what a nice dog!" Ben said. "Can we pet it?" + +The man smiled. He came closer. He said they could pet the dog if they asked nicely. + +"Hello, dog," Ben said. "Can I pet you?" + +The dog licked his hand. Ben giggled. He stroked the dog's fur. He felt something hard. He looked. It was a belt. The dog had a belt like his. It was blue and shiny. + +"Hey, Mia, look!" Ben said. "The dog has a belt like mine. It is original too." + +Mia looked. She saw the belt. She smiled. She petted the dog too. She said, "You are right, Ben. The dog has a belt like yours. It is original too. But you know what? I like your belt better. It suits you more." + +Ben smiled. He was happy. He said, "Thank you, Mia. You are a good friend. I like your belt too. It suits you more." + +The man said, "You are very polite, kids. The dog likes you too. His name is Rex. He is my friend. I found him in the street. He had no home. He had this belt on him. I don't know where he got it from. Maybe someone gave it to him. Maybe it was his original owner. I never mention it to him. I don't want to make him sad. I love him as he is." + +Ben and Mia said, "That is a nice story. You are a good man. Rex is lucky to have you. We are happy to meet you." + +They hugged the dog and the man. They said goodbye. They went back to play. They were happy. They had seen a nice dog and a nice man. They had learned something new. They had shared something original. They had been good friends. +Anna loves to dance. She likes to spin and jump and twirl in her pink dress. She dances in her room, in the garden, and in the kitchen. She dances when she is happy, when she is sad, and when she is bored. + +One day, Anna wants to dance with her big brother, Ben. Ben is busy. He is doing his homework. He has to write and read and draw. He does not want to dance. + +"Ben, Ben, please dance with me!" Anna says. She pulls his arm and tugs his shirt. She is persistent. She does not give up. + +"Anna, no, I can't dance with you. I have to finish my homework. Go away!" Ben says. He pushes her away and frowns. He is annoyed. He wants to be left alone. + +Anna is sad. She does not understand why Ben does not want to dance with her. She loves him and wants to have fun with him. She thinks he is mean. She runs to her room and cries. + +Mom hears Anna crying. She goes to her room and hugs her. She asks her what is wrong. + +"Ben does not want to dance with me. He is busy. He is mean. He does not love me." Anna says. She sniffles and wipes her tears. + +Mom smiles and kisses her. She says, "Ben does love you, Anna. He is just busy. He has to do his homework. It is important. He will dance with you later, when he is done. OK?" + +Anna nods and smiles. She says, "OK, Mom. I will wait for him. I love him too." + +Mom says, "That's good, Anna. You are a good sister. You are persistent. You do not give up. But you also have to be patient. You have to let Ben do his work. Then you can dance together. OK?" + +Anna nods and says, "OK, Mom. I will be patient. I will let Ben do his work. Then we can dance together. Thank you, Mom." + +Mom says, "You're welcome, Anna. I love you. Now, why don't you dance in your room for a while? You can play your favorite music and wear your pink dress. You look beautiful when you dance." + +Anna says, "OK, Mom. I will dance in my room. I love to dance.

Tom had a big truck and Mia had a small doll. They liked to share their toys and take turns. + +But then, Tom saw a shiny cross on Mia's neck. He wanted to have it. He said to Mia, "Give me your cross. It is pretty and I like it." + +Mia said, "No, Tom. This is my cross. It is important to me. My mom gave it to me. You can't have it." + +Tom got angry and tried to grab the cross from Mia. Mia held on to it and cried. She said, "Stop, Tom. You are hurting me. This is not nice." + +Tom and Mia started to fight over the cross. They pulled and pushed and shouted. They did not hear their mom calling them from the house. + +Their mom came to the garden and saw them fighting. She was not happy. She said, "Tom and Mia, what are you doing? Why are you fighting over a cross? This is not how you play. You have to be kind and gentle with each other. You have to share and respect each other's things." + +Tom and Mia felt ashamed. They knew their mom was right. They said, "Sorry, mom. Sorry, Mia. Sorry, Tom." + +Their mom said, "It's okay. I'm glad you are sorry. Now, give each other a hug and say you are friends." + +Tom and Mia hugged and said, "We are friends. We love each other." + +Their mom smiled and said, "That's good. Now, why don't you play something else? How about you make a castle with the sand and the stones?" + +Tom and Mia liked that idea. They said, "Yes, mom. That sounds fun." + +They put their toys away and went to the sandpit. They worked together to make a big castle. They decorated it with shells and flowers.

Just like you. I'm proud of you. You are good children." + +Tom and Mia smiled and said, "Thank you, mom. We love you." + +They played with their castle until it was time to go inside. They surrendered their cross and their truck and their doll. They did not need them anymore. They had each other. And that was the most important thing. +Ben liked to play with his toy plane. He wanted to be a pilot when he grew up. He liked to make the plane fly in the air and make zooming noises. + +One day, he saw a real plane in the sky. It was big and shiny and had a loud roar. Ben was amazed. He wanted to see it up close. He ran to the window and tried to open it. But it was locked. He pushed and pulled, but it did not move. + +He got angry. He threw his toy plane at the window. He hoped it would break the glass and let him out. But it did not. It only made a loud bang and bounced back. It hit Ben on the head and made him cry. + +His mom heard the noise and came to his room. She saw the toy plane on the floor and the window with a dent. She was not happy. She picked up Ben and hugged him. She asked him what he did. + +Ben was ashamed. He did not want to tell his mom. He said, "I'm sorry, mom. I wanted to see the plane. I wanted to examine it. But I was bad. I threw my toy plane. I'm sorry." + +His mom kissed him and said, "It's okay, Ben. I know you love planes. But you can't throw things at the window. You could hurt yourself or break something. Next time, you can ask me to take you outside and we can watch the plane together. Okay?" + +Ben nodded and said, "Okay, mom. I love you. And I love my toy plane. Can I have it back?" + +His mom smiled and said, "Of course, Ben. Here you go. But be careful with it. It's your friend, not your weapon." + +Ben hugged his toy plane and said, "Thank you, mom. You're the best. And you're my friend, too." +Lila liked to dance. She was graceful and fast. She could spin and jump and bend. She loved to wear her pink dress and her shiny shoes. She felt like a fairy. + +One day, her mom said, "Lila, we are going to visit grandma. Do you want to bring your dress and shoes?" + +"Yes, mom, I do!" Lila said. She ran to her room and packed her dress and shoes in a bag. She was excited to see grandma and show her how she could dance. + +They got in the car and drove to grandma's house. Grandma was waiting for them at the door. She hugged Lila and said, "Hello, my sweetie. How are you?" + +"I'm good, grandma. I have something to show you!" Lila said. She opened her bag and took out her dress and shoes. She put them on and said, "Look, grandma, I can dance!" + +Lila danced for grandma. She did a turn and a jump and a spin. She smiled and laughed. Grandma clapped and cheered.

One day, they find a big red truck in the park. It has a sign that says "Gas". + +"Wow, look at this truck!" Tom says. "It is so big and red. Can we play with it?" + +Sam nods. He likes big trucks too. He climbs into the driver's seat and pretends to steer. Tom sits next to him and makes engine noises. + +"Vroom, vroom, we are going fast!" Sam says. + +"Beep, beep, watch out for the trees!" Tom says. + +They have fun with the truck. But they do not see a man coming. He is the owner of the truck. He is angry. He sees the sign on the truck. It says "Gas". But it does not mean gas for cars. It means gas for balloons. The man sells balloons at the park. + +"Hey, you kids, get out of my truck!" the man shouts. "You are not supposed to play with it. It has gas for balloons. If you touch it, it can make a big boom!" + +Tom and Sam are scared. They do not want to make a big boom. They jump out of the truck and run away. They are clumsy. They trip and fall. They get dirt on their clothes. + +"Sorry, mister, we did not know!" Tom says. + +"Yeah, sorry, we just wanted to play!" Sam says. + +The man sighs. He is not so angry anymore. He sees that they are just kids. He does not want to be mean. He decides to be nice. + +"It's okay, kids, I forgive you," he says. "But you have to be careful. Gas can be dangerous. It is not for playing. It is for making balloons. Do you want a balloon?" + +Tom and Sam nod. They like balloons. They say thank you to the man. He gives them each a balloon. They are happy. They forget about the truck. They run to the swings with their balloons. They are careful not to let them go. They do not want to eat gas. They want to eat ice cream. Maybe later, they will get some. +Lila and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to look for bugs and flowers. They saw a big beetle on a leaf. It was black and shiny. It had long legs and horns. + +"Wow, look at that beetle!" Ben said. "It is impressive!" + +Lila nodded. She wanted to touch the beetle. She reached out her hand slowly. The beetle did not move. Lila touched its back. It felt hard and smooth. + +"Can I hold it?" Lila asked. + +Ben shrugged. He did not mind. He watched Lila pick up the beetle. She held it in her palm. The beetle wiggled its legs. Lila giggled. + +Suddenly, the beetle bit Lila's finger. It hurt. Lila screamed. She dropped the beetle. She slapped her finger. She was angry and sad. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Lila cried. "The beetle bit me! It is mean!" + +Ben ran to Lila. He hugged her. He was sorry for her. He saw the beetle on the ground. It was still alive. It crawled away. + +"Bad beetle!" Ben said. "Go away! Don't bite Lila again!" + +Lila sniffed. She wiped her tears. She looked at her finger. It was red and sore. She felt better with Ben's hug. + +"Thank you, Ben," Lila said. "You are a good friend." + +Ben smiled. He kissed Lila's finger. He hoped it would heal soon. + +"Let's play something else," Ben said. "No more beetles." + +Lila nodded. She agreed. She did not like beetles anymore. She liked Ben. They held hands and ran to the swing. They had fun. They forgot about the beetle. +Tom and Anna are excited. They are going to work with Mom today. Mom is a carpet cleaner. She makes dirty carpets look new and nice. + +They get in the big truck with Mom. The truck has a big hose and a machine. Mom drives to a house.
