Tim said, "It is your fault. You threw too many coins in the fountain. You made it stop." Lily said, "No, it is your fault. You threw a big rock in the fountain. You broke it." They shouted and pushed and pulled. They were not friends anymore. + +The man on the bench shook his head. He said, "You are silly. The fountain is not broken because of you. It is broken because of a number. A number that is too big. The number is how much money it costs to keep the fountain running. The park does not have enough money. That is why the fountain is broken. And that is why it will stay broken. Unless someone gives the park more money. But who will do that?" + +Tim and Lily stopped fighting. They looked at the man. They looked at the fountain. They looked at each other. They felt sorry. They felt hopeless. They felt gloomy. They did not know what to do. They did not know how to fix the fountain. They did not know how to make a wish. They did not know how to be friends again. They walked away from the fountain, and from each other, in silence. The end. +Anna liked to design things. She used paper, crayons, scissors and glue to make pictures, cards and toys. She had a lot of fun with her designs. She wanted to show them to her mom and dad. + +One day, she decided to design a surprise for them. She went to the attic, where she kept some of her things. The attic was dark and cold. It was icy outside, and the snow made the roof slippery. Anna did not mind. She found a big box and some old clothes. She thought she could design a snowman with them. + +She took the box and the clothes and climbed out of the window. She wanted to put the snowman on the roof, so her mom and dad could see it from below. She thought they would be very happy and proud of her. She started to make the snowman with the snow and the clothes. She gave it a hat, a scarf, a nose and a smile. + +She was almost done, when she heard her mom calling her name. "Anna, where are you? Come down, it's time for lunch!" Anna wanted to answer, but she slipped on the icy roof. She lost her balance and fell. She screamed, but no one heard her. She landed on the hard ground, and did not move. + +Her mom and dad ran outside, and saw her lying there. They were very scared and sad. They called for help, but it was too late. Anna was gone.

They made castles and tunnels and bridges with their buckets and shovels. One day, they saw something shiny and purple in the water. They ran to see what it was. + +It was an octopus. It had eight long arms and a big round head. It looked at them with big eyes. Ben and Lily were curious. They wanted to touch it. They reached out their hands. + +The octopus did not like that. It was fearful. It did not know Ben and Lily. It thought they wanted to hurt it. It slapped them with its arms. It squirted water at them. It made a loud noise. + +Ben and Lily were scared. They ran away from the octopus. They cried. They felt a sting on their hands. They had red marks from the slaps. + +A man saw them and came to help. He was a fisherman. He knew about the octopus. He said, "Don't touch the octopus. It is not a toy. It is a wild animal. It is afraid of you. It wants to be left alone. You should respect it and its home." + +Ben and Lily learned a lesson. They said they were sorry. They promised to be more careful. They understood that the octopus was not mean. It was just different. They went back to play in the sand. They left the octopus in peace. +Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play outside. They had a dog named Max who had soft brown fur. Max loved to chase balls and sticks and run with the boys. + +One day, Tim and Sam found a new ball in the yard. It was big and red and shiny. They wanted to play with it, but Max wanted it too. He ran after the ball and tried to grab it with his teeth. + +"Max, no!" Tim shouted. "This is our ball, not yours. Go find your own toy." + +But Max did not mind. He was persistent. He kept chasing the ball and barking loudly. He did not care that the boys were angry. + +"Max, stop!" Sam yelled. "You are ruining our game. You are a bad dog." + +But Max did not stop. He was having fun. He finally caught the ball and ran away with it. He hid under a tree and chewed on the ball. + +Tim and Sam were sad and mad. They had lost their new ball. They went to look for Max and the ball. They found him under the tree, but the ball was broken. Max had made holes in it with his teeth. + +"Max, look what you did!" Tim cried. "You broke our ball. You are a very bad dog." + +Max looked at the boys with his big eyes. He wagged his tail and licked their faces. He did not understand why they were upset. He thought he was playing with them. He thought they liked him. + +"Max, we do like you, but you have to mind us," Sam said. "You have to share and be nice. You can't take our things and break them. That's not how you play." + +Max tilted his head and whimpered. He wanted to make the boys happy. He wanted to be a good dog. He dropped the ball and nudged it with his nose. He was sorry. + +Tim and Sam saw that Max was sorry. They felt sorry too. They hugged Max and stroked his fur. They told him they loved him. + +"Max, it's okay. We forgive you," Tim said. "But next time, please mind us. And we will mind you too. We will find you a new toy that you can play with. How about that?" + +Max barked and wagged his tail. He was happy.

Sam says. "Can we go and see it?" + +"Sure, let's go!" Tim says. They run to the tank with their moms. + +They observe the tank from all sides. They touch the metal and the wheels. They pretend to drive the tank and shoot the gun. They have fun. + +"Tim, Sam, it is time to go home!" their moms say. "Say bye to the tank!" + +"Bye, tank!" Tim and Sam say. "You are fine!" + +They wave to the tank and leave the park. They are happy. They had a good day. +Tom was a bad boy. He liked to take things that were not his. One day, he saw a shiny gold ring on a table. He wanted the ring, so he took it and ran away. + +But the ring was not a good ring. It was a magic ring that made bad things happen to the one who wore it. Tom did not know that. He put the ring on his finger and felt happy. + +Soon, he started to suffer. His finger hurt a lot. It turned black and swollen. He tried to take the ring off, but it was stuck. He cried and cried, but no one heard him. + +He ran to the park, hoping to find help. But there, he saw a big dog. The dog was angry and hungry. It saw Tom and his shiny ring. It thought the ring was a toy. It barked and ran towards Tom. + +Tom was scared. He wished he never took the ring. He wished he was a good boy. He tried to run away, but the dog was faster. It jumped on him and bit his hand. Tom screamed and dropped the ring. + +The dog let go of Tom and picked up the ring. It ran away with the ring in its mouth. Tom was bleeding and hurt. He lay on the ground and cried. He learned his lesson. He never took things that were not his again. +Tom and Mia are friends.

Lila asks. + +Ben nods and runs over. He has a device in his ear, and he talks with his hands. He shows them how to say hello, kayak, and pool with his fingers. Lila and Sam are curious and try to copy him. + +"Ben is deaf. He can't hear us, but he can see us and read our lips. He uses sign language to talk," Lila's mom explains. + +Lila and Sam think that is cool. They invite Ben to join them in the kayak. They help him put on a life jacket and a helmet. They show him how to hold the paddle and steer. Ben is a fast learner, and soon he is having fun with them. He laughs and makes funny faces. He splashes them with water and they splash him back. + +Lila's mom and Ben's mom watch them from the porch. They are happy to see their kids make a new friend.

They packed some sandwiches, juice, and cookies in a basket. They also brought a blanket and a ball. + +They found a nice spot under a big tree. They spread the blanket on the grass and opened the basket. They ate their sandwiches and juice and talked about their dreams. Lily said she wanted to be a princess and live in a castle. Ben said he wanted to be a knight and fight dragons. Then they laughed and said they would marry each other when they grew up. + +They finished their cookies and decided to play with the ball. They threw it back and forth, having fun. But then, a loud noise made them stop. They looked up and saw a big dog running towards them. It was barking and growling. It wanted their ball. + +Lily and Ben were scared. They grabbed their basket and blanket and ran away. The dog chased them, still barking and growling. They ran as fast as they could, but the dog was faster. It caught up with them and jumped on them. It knocked them down and took their ball. + +Lily and Ben cried. They were hurt and sad. They lost their ball and their picnic. They hugged each other and wished the dog would go away. Then they heard another noise. It was a whistle. They looked up and saw a man running towards them. He was the dog's owner. He called the dog and put a leash on it. He apologized to Lily and Ben and said he was sorry. He said the dog was just playful and didn't mean to hurt them. He gave them their ball back and offered to buy them some ice cream. + +Lily and Ben smiled. They were glad the man was nice and the dog was not mean. They accepted the ice cream and thanked the man. They walked back to the park, holding hands. They still wanted to be a princess and a knight. And they still wanted to marry each other when they grew up. +Ben and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to pick the red tomatoes that grew on the plants. They put them in a basket and pretended to sell them at the market. + +"Tomatoes, tomatoes, fresh and juicy tomatoes!" Ben shouted. "Who wants to buy some tomatoes?" + +"I do, I do!" Lily said. She took some coins from her pocket and gave them to Ben. "How many tomatoes can I have?" + +Ben counted the coins. "You can have four tomatoes," he said. He gave her four tomatoes from the basket. + +"Thank you, Ben," Lily said. She smiled and put the tomatoes in her bag. + +Ben and Lily repeated this game many times. They had fun and learned how to count and trade. + +But then, something bad happened. They ran out of tomatoes. The basket was empty. + +"Oh no, what do we do now?" Ben asked. He looked at the plants. There were no more tomatoes left. + +"We can't play anymore," Lily said. She was sad. She liked the game. + +"Maybe we can find something else to sell," Ben said. He looked around the garden. He saw some flowers, some rocks, some leaves, and some sticks. + +"None of these things are useful," Lily said. She shook her head. "Who would want to buy them?" + +Ben thought hard. He wanted to make Lily happy. He had an idea. + +"Look, Lily, I found something useful," he said. He picked up a stick and held it up. "This is a magic wand. It can do anything you want. It can make you fly, or turn you into a princess, or make more tomatoes." + +Lily looked at the stick. She was not sure. It looked like a normal stick. + +"Really?" she asked. "How do you use it?" + +Ben smiled. He waved the stick in the air. He said some funny words. + +"Abracadabra, alakazam, make some tomatoes, yes you can!" + +He pointed the stick at the plants. He hoped it would work. + +Lily watched. She waited. She saw something amazing. + +The plants started to grow. They made new flowers. The flowers turned into green tomatoes. The green tomatoes turned into red tomatoes. + +"Wow!" Lily said. She clapped her hands. "It worked! You made more tomatoes!" + +Ben was happy. He hugged Lily. He gave her the stick. + +"Here, you try it," he said. "You can make anything you want." + +Lily took the stick. She felt excited. She repeated what Ben did. + +"Abracadabra, alakazam, make some cupcakes, yes you can!" + +She pointed the stick at the basket. She hoped it would work. + +Ben watched. He waited. He saw something delicious. + +The basket started to fill. It made new cupcakes. The cupcakes had frosting and sprinkles. They smelled good. + +"Yum!" Ben said. He licked his lips. "You made cupcakes!" + +Lily was happy. She hugged Ben. She gave him a cupcake. + +"Here, you have one," she said. "You are a good friend." + +Ben took the cupcake. He felt grateful. He repeated what Lily said. + +"You are a good friend," he said. "Thank you, Lily." + +They ate the cupcakes. They shared the stick. They played with the magic wand. They had fun and learned how to be creative and kind. +Lily was sleeping in her bed. She had a nice dream about a big park with swings and slides. She heard a noise outside her window. It was a bird. The bird had a message for Lily. + +The bird flew to Lily's window and tapped on the glass. Lily opened her eyes and saw the bird. The bird had a red ribbon around its neck. On the ribbon, there was a paper with words. Lily could not read the words, but she knew it was a message. + +Lily got out of her bed and opened the window. She was careful not to scare the bird. The bird flew to Lily's hand and let her take the ribbon. Lily said thank you to the bird and gave it a seed. The bird ate the seed and flew away. + +Lily looked at the message. It was from her grandma. Grandma said she loved Lily and missed her. She said she would come to visit soon and bring a surprise. Lily smiled and hugged the message. She was happy to hear from grandma. She put the message on her pillow and went back to sleep. She dreamed of grandma and the surprise. +Lily likes to help her mom in the kitchen.

She uses her voice to call her dad. She says, "Dad, I made a cake for you. Come and see!" + +Her dad comes and sees the cake. He is surprised and happy. He uses a hug to thank Lily. He uses a kiss to show his love. He uses a fork to eat the cake. He says, "Lily, this is the best cake ever. You are a great helper in the kitchen. I love you!" +Jenny was playing with her doll in the garden. She liked to pretend that her doll was sick and she was a doctor who could heal her. She had a small box with some bandages, a spoon and a bottle of water. She wrapped the bandages around her doll's arm and said, "Don't worry, you will be better soon." + +But then, a big shadow came over her. It was Tom, her older brother. He was mean and ignorant. He did not like Jenny's doll. He grabbed the doll and threw it on the ground. He said, "This is a stupid doll. It can't talk or move. It's not a real friend." + +Jenny was very sad and angry. She ran to her doll and picked it up. She saw that the bandages were torn and the doll's arm was broken. She cried, "You are a bad brother. You hurt my doll. You don't know anything. My doll is my friend. She can talk to me in my head. She loves me and I love her." + +Tom laughed and said, "You are a silly girl. You have no friends. You only have a doll. You are lonely and dumb." + +Jenny felt a pain in her heart. She wished that her mom or dad were here. But they were at work. She had no one to help her. She hugged her doll and ran to her room. She locked the door and put the doll on her bed. She said, "I'm sorry, doll. I will try to heal you. I will find some glue and fix your arm. You are my best friend. I don't need Tom. He is mean and ignorant. He doesn't understand us." +Tom and Sam were brothers who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big hill with a hole at the top. They wanted to see what was inside the hole, so they put on their vests and crawled up the hill. + +When they reached the hole, they looked inside and saw a dark tunnel. They were curious and brave, so they crawled into the tunnel. They had a flashlight, but it was not very bright. They could not see much, only some rocks and dirt. + +They crawled deeper and deeper into the tunnel, until they heard a loud roar. They were scared and turned around, but they could not find the way back. They had crawled too far and got lost. They cried and hugged each other. + +They wished they had listened to their mom, who told them not to go into strange places. They learned that being curious and brave was good, but being careful and safe was better. + +They did not know what to do, until they saw a pale light at the end of the tunnel. They crawled towards the light, hoping it was the way out. They were happy and relieved when they saw that it was their dad, who had come to look for them. He had heard their cries and followed their flashlight. + +He hugged them and carried them out of the tunnel. He was not angry, but he was worried. He told them that they should never go into the hole again, and that they should always tell him where they were going. He also told them that he loved them very much. + +Tom and Sam said they were sorry and that they loved him too. They also thanked him for saving them. They learned their lesson and never crawled into the hole again. They still played in the park, but they stayed away from the hill. They had more fun and less trouble. +Tom was a big boy who liked to help his dad. His dad was a mailman who delivered letters and packages to many houses. Tom wanted to be a mailman too, so his dad let him carry some of the letters and packages. + +One day, they went to a house that had a big fence and a sign that said "Beware of Dog". Tom's dad told him to be careful and not to go inside the fence. He gave Tom a small package to deliver to the door. Tom nodded and walked to the gate. He opened it and saw a big dog with brown fur and black spots. The dog was barking and running towards him. + +Tom was scared and dropped the package. He ran back to the gate and tried to close it, but the dog was too fast. It jumped over the gate and chased Tom to the mail truck. Tom's dad saw what was happening and got out of the truck. He shouted at the dog and threw a bone to distract it. The dog stopped chasing Tom and ran to the bone. Tom's dad picked up Tom and hugged him. He said, "Are you okay, buddy? That was a wild dog. You should have listened to me and stayed away from the fence." + +Tom was embarrassed and sorry. He said, "I'm sorry, dad. I wanted to be a good mailman and deliver the package. I didn't know the dog was so wild and mean. I was scared and silly." + +Tom's dad smiled and said, "It's okay, son. You're still a good mailman and a brave boy. You just need to be more careful and follow the rules. Next time, we'll deliver the package together, okay?" + +Tom nodded and said, "Okay, dad. I love you." + +They got back in the truck and drove away. The dog was still chewing the bone and wagging its tail. It was not so wild and mean after all.

"You are disturbing me! You are making too much noise! You are ruining my peace and quiet!" He looked angry and scary. + +Tom and Lily were scared. They did not want to disturb the man. They did not want to make him more angry. They dropped their bucket and shovel and magnifying glass. They ran back to their own house. They told their mom what happened. + +Their mom hugged them and said, "Don't worry, my darlings. That man is just grumpy and rude. He does not like anyone or anything. He always rings his bell and yells at people. He is not nice. You did nothing wrong. You can play in the garden as much as you want. Just ignore him and his bell. He can't hurt you." + +Tom and Lily felt better. They thanked their mom and went back to the garden. They picked up their bucket and shovel and magnifying glass. They continued to dig in the dirt and look for bugs. They were having fun. They did not hear the bell anymore. +Tom is a tough boy. He likes to run and jump and play. He does not like to get wet or dirty. He wears a big hat and a coat when it rains. + +One day, Tom sees a big puddle near the mailbox. He thinks it is fun to splash in the puddle. He takes off his hat and coat and runs to the puddle. He jumps and kicks and laughs. + +But he does not see the car coming. The car drives fast and makes a big wave. The wave hits Tom and soaks him.

You have to help me cook, not play hockey." + +Tim felt bad. He did not want to make his dad sad. He said, "I'm sorry, dad. I don't know how to cook. I only know how to play hockey.

It's black and deep. Well, when it burns, it turns into ashes, which are gray and light. Can you understand now?" + +Jemma thought about it for a moment and then nodded.

He found her on a hill, overlooking their house. The view of their home from the top of the hill was incredible. Together they watched the sun set, and the brother began to understand why his sister was so sad. + +He apologised for his behaviour and his sister willingly forgave him.

The old sister was very envious of the younger sister as she had a big shiny red apple. The younger sister polished the apple, so it shone brighter. + +‘Why is your apple so shiny?’ said the old sister. + +‘I polished it,’ said the younger sister. + +The old sister wanted an apple like the younger sister had, so she went outside and searched and searched until she found an old apple. She polished the old apple, but it still didn’t look as shiny as the younger sister’s apple. + +The old sister was so envious that she tried polishing her apple again and again, but still couldn’t get it to look as shiny as the younger sister’s apple. + +The old sister finally gave up and just accepted that her apple would never be as shiny as her younger sister’s apple. +Once upon a time there was a silly child who always did silly things. One day, the child went outside without a coat on a chilly day. His mother told him to come back inside, but he refused. So, his mother decided to let him be for a moment and see what would happen. + +At first, the silly child had fun playing around in the cold.

His mum had some smooth stones in her hand. + +"Do you want to try throwing some stones," said his mum. + +Jack nodded and took a stone in his hand. He closed his eyes and counted to three. He threw the stone into the sky. + +When Jack opened his eyes, the stone had vanished. He smiled and clapped his hands. + +"Mum! The stone vanished!" he said. + +"It sure did," said his mum. "Sometimes things can vanish just like that, into the sky." + +Jack smiled and threw another stone into the sky. This time, the stone smoothly glided across the sky and vanished. Jack laughed with delight. He and his mum walked home, happy and with stories of vanishing stones. +One day, there was an angel flying high in the sky.

When they saw him coming they all stopped and looked in his direction. One of them, a young girl, stepped forward and asked: "Are you here to unite us?". + +The angel smiled at the girl, and with a soft voice said: "Yes, I am. I want to help you all be united and be friends." All the people smiled brightly, and the girl said: "We are so happy that you are here.

The firefighters use it to spray water on the fires so they go away." + +Susie stared in awe. She thought the firetruck was so cool! She wanted to spray water just like the firetruck. + +Then Susie ran inside and grabbed a bucket. She found the garden hose and put it in the bucket.

We just thought it would be more fun to have different colours each day!" + +"Well, that's harmless," said the teacher.

I can show you how to tie a knot, and then we can both help serve the dinner." + +Tom smiled and said, "Okay, I will try to learn." + +Soon Tim taught Tom how to make a light knot, and together they served dinner with a smile. + +The moral of this story is that it is always better to help each other rather than trying to do things alone.

The little girl looked around, but she couldn't see who spoke. + +"I am trying to cross the river," she replied. + +"If that's your goal, then you must start with the little stones," said the voice. + +The little girl looked down and sure enough, there was a path of little stones stretching across the wild river. She quickly started to make her way across. The little stones were wet and slippery, so she had to take her time, but she made it to the other side. + +"Well done!" said the voice. "You made it!" + +The little girl smiled, thrilled with her accomplishment. She waved goodbye to the voice and continued on her adventure. +Once upon a time, a long and fluffy kitten was introduced to a family. It was so tiny and cute!
