Move fast, but be careful, Timmy!" + +Timmy thanked the bluebird and ran on. He was careful and wild at the same time and he enjoyed the freedom of running in the forest.

"John, let's read a story together," said his mom. John was excited. He loves stories. + +His mom opened a small trunk beside her. Inside the trunk was a book. She opened it and started to read. It was about a bunny in the park. John listened carefully. The story was so good! + +But then, John noticed a big scary bear walking close to them. "Mommy! Mommy look! There's a BAD bear!" he exclaimed. His mom quickly closed the book. She grabbed John's hand and stood up. + +The bear got closer and closer. It's eyes were fierce and it was growling.

As he hopped, he noticed a voice coming out from far away. +"What have we here?" the voice said. + +Startled, the bunny hopped away and hid in the bushes.

I worry that I don't have enough time." + +Tom smiled at her and said, "It's ok to surrender.

Sam was so happy that he skipped all the way home with his snack. +Once upon a time, there was a small green alien named Timmy. He was a bit nervous and always looking for somewhere to belong. +One day he was walking down the street when he spotted something amazing - a laser! Timmy was so excited and tried to get closer to take a better look. But when he did the laser shot up into the sky and glowed bright blue. + +Timmy was even more nervous now, but he followed the laser until he arrived at a spaceship where lots of other aliens were dancing and playing. + +Timmy grabbed the laser and with a shaky voice asked the aliens, "Is this where I belong?". + +The aliens all smiled and said, "Yes!

He woke up one morning and was so excited because it was raining outside. He opened the window and stuck his head out. The rain felt so good and he could feel the drops soaking his head. + +Joe quickly ran outside and went sprawling in a big, muddy puddle and he squealed with delight. He spent a few hours playing in the rain, and when he came back in he saw that the ceiling was wet. + +Joe asked his mom, "Why is the ceiling wet, Mommy?" + +"That's from the rain coming in through the window, sweetie," she said. + +Joe's eyes lit up. "Can I splash in the puddles on the ceiling, too?" he asked. + +Mommy laughed. "Why not? Just make sure to use your green towel to soak up all the water," she replied. + +So Joe raced to get his green towel, and when he returned he began having so much fun jumping and splashing in the puddles on the ceiling.

After looking at several hotels, they finally chose the one that looked the most important. + +The three year-old was so excited and couldn't wait to stay at the special place. When they arrived, however, the family was shocked to see that the important hotel was not what they thought it was. The walls were old and falling apart, even the bedsheets looked dirty. + +The daughter started to cry and asked her parents why they chose this hotel. Her dad looked sadly and said, “I'm sorry, sweetie. We thought it would be better than this, but we chose the wrong hotel.†+ +The family had no choice but to stay in the old and dirty hotel for their vacation. It was a very important lesson for the three year-old to learn and sadly, it didn't have a happy ending. +Once upon a time, there were two friends, Tony and Sally. They lived in a wide valley and went outside to play every day. + +One day they saw something sparkly in the grass. It was a beautiful jewel! + +The friends got excited and Tony asked Sally, "What do you think it is?" + +Sally said, "I think it's a gem!" + +They both crouched down and Tony said, "Let's watch it and see what happens." + +So they watched as the sun moved across the sky and the jewel shone brightly. + +After a while, Tony said, "Let's take it home with us." + +And so they did!

Mommy took his hand and spoke softly, "We will pray at home John." + +But when they got outside, there were police cars and an ambulance. Mommy gasped and ran towards the crowd. John followed and saw that something terrible had happened. Someone was hurt. John's mom started to cry. He knew that the prayer at home would not be the same as the one inside. + +John and his mom prayed at home, but it was not as exciting. They both felt very sad. +Once upon a time there was a girl named Lucy. Lucy was very excited to show her mom what she could do. So, she gathered up her toy instruments and hopped up onto the couch with a big smile on her face. She was ready to perform! + +Lucy began to play the instruments, but she found it hard to use her fingers. She tried and tried, but she couldn't make anything that sounded good. Lucy became frustrated, until her mom encouraged her to try again. She reminded Lucy to be patient and take her time. + +So Lucy tried again, this time paying more attention to how she was using her fingers. She practiced and practiced and was soon happy with the results she was getting. Finally, her fingers were ready and she was able to perform a nice tune. + +Lucy and her mom smiled proudly as they listened to the happy song Lucy had created. Lucy was so proud of her new skill and happy that she stuck with it! +Once upon a time, there was a dependable little dog. He loved to look up at the sky at sunset. He especially loved when it would rain. + +One day, his person started talking to him. “Little dog, do you want to go outside and explore the world?†+ +The little dog was so excited, he ran to the door and waited for it to be opened.

Bob asked his mom, "What is this cup for?" + +His mom smiled. She said, "My dear Bob, the cup is for believing in yourself. If you believe in yourself and your dreams, you can achieve anything you want." + +Bob thought about this for a minute and nodded. He thought about becoming a wealthy man one day.

Is someone in there?" he asked. + +He heard a reply from inside, "Yes, I am. Will you help me get out?" + +The humble little frog was super excited and he immediately began splashing around to make big waves. After a few minutes of splashing, the golf ball bobbed up and down until it eventually opened up and a huge tiger stepped out. + +The humble frog was shocked, but he stepped aside and let the tiger out of the pond. The tiger thanked the frog and said, "I must go now, but I will never forget your kindness. Goodbye!" + +The humble frog waved goodbye and was thrilled that he had helped the tiger. He hopped around the pond happily, now with a new friend. From then on, they spent their days splashing around the pond and playing together. +Once upon a time, there was a little dog, who liked to explore the world. One day, he decided to go for a long walk, and he asked his owners for permission. The owners said he could go for a walk, but only if he wore a leash, so he couldn't wander off. + +The little dog was excited, so he grabbed the leash and started walking. He had so much fun, he forgot to pay attention to where he was going, and soon he was lost! + +He was a bit scared, so he started to cry. But then he heard a voice. "Don't worry, little pup," it said. + +He looked up and saw a kind old man, who was smiling and holding out a hand. "Let me help you find your way home," said the old man. + +The little dog was so relieved, and he happily followed the old man. "You need to stay patient," said the old man.

He wanted to play basketball, so he grabbed the ball and started dribbling it around. His best friend Jack wanted to join in too. + +Jack was a bit bossy, so he started to yell to Luke about what he should do. But Luke didn't want to be bossed about. He shouted back, saying he wanted to play his own way. + +But Jack was still being bossy. He kept on yelling, which made Luke even more frustrated.

He said that he wanted to teach Jack a lesson and he cast a spell on Jack. Suddenly, Jack couldn't move and he was stuck in place. He shouted for help and begged the old man to stop, but the old man just laughed and kept walking. + +Now Jack was cursed and no longer available to joke around and make people happy.

He tried to row the raft back to shore but it was difficult and he had to use a lot of strength. + +Suddenly, he heard a voice calling from the shore. It was his mom! She told him to stay where he was because his dad was coming to get him. But the wooden raft was so big and heavy that it was almost impossible for Sam to move it back. + +As he waited for his dad to come, he started to feel teary and sad. His parents had not been around much lately and he missed them. When his dad finally arrived, he looked so relieved.

She hopped off the truck, clapped her hands, and said, "Come with us!" + +The cute pup followed Daisy and her dad home. From that day on, the pup and Daisy were the best of friends.

Then he saw that Maria was sad too. She said, "Jim, I need some help. Can you help me?" + +Jim said, "Of course I can help you. What do you need?" Maria wiped away a tear and said, "My flowers were stolen from my garden. Would you help me look for them?" Jim said, "Yes, I'll help you!" + +So together, they walked around the neighbourhood.

She quickly pinched a tiny amount between her fingers, but she got caught in the act. + +Her mom scolded her and said, "Lola, the proper thing to do when you want something is to ask for it. It's not cool to pinch things without permission." + +Lola looked at her mom, nodded her head and put the jam back. After that, she asked her mom politely for some jam and was given permission to take a small portion. + +The moral of the story is that you should always ask permission before taking something that isn't yours. It's important to show respect and be cool. +Once upon a time there was a humble little boy named Paul. Every day, Paul's family would all sit down together for a nice dish of food. + +One evening, Paul heard a noise coming from the kitchen. He ran in to take a look.

With an ignorant mistake, Tony fell into the lake and the kayak was lost. + +The end. +Once upon a time there was a young boy called John. He wanted to find a zebra, so he set out on a search.

Lucy had a great day playing in the river and was very happy. +Once upon a time there were two friends, John and Kate. One day, John and Kate were running to go to the stage. Suddenly, John tripped and dropped his bag. Kate got to the stage first and looked back to see that John was still on the ground and his bag was scattered around him. + +"John, are you ok?" asked Kate, feeling concerned. + +John was feeling very confused.

Without thinking, she went up to another visitor and said, "Look at this gifted worm I found".

It makes them strong and happy. + +"Yes, we are okay. Thank you, mister," Anna and Ben say. They eat the rice and hug Spot. They are very brave. + +The zookeeper smiles. He drives the lion back to the zoo. He says sorry to Anna and Ben and Spot. He says he will fix the fence. He says the lion will not escape again. + +Anna and Ben and Spot wave goodbye to the zookeeper. They are glad he saved them. They are glad they are safe. They go back to the slide and play some more. They have fun. They are happy. +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They had a big spray bottle filled with water. They liked to spray the flowers, the grass and each other. + +"Spray, spray, spray!" Lily shouted as she squirted Ben in the face. + +"Hey, stop that!" Ben said, wiping his eyes. "It's my turn to spray!" + +He grabbed the bottle from Lily and ran after her. They laughed and chased each other around the garden. + +They saw a big lizard on the fence. It had green skin and shiny scales. It looked at them with its small eyes. + +"Wow, look at that!" Ben said, pointing at the lizard. + +"What is it?" Lily asked, curious. + +"It's a lizard. It's like a small dragon. But it has no wings and no fire." + +"Can we spray it?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know. Maybe it will like it. Maybe it will run away. Or maybe it will bite us." + +They decided to try. They walked slowly towards the fence. They held the bottle in front of them. They aimed at the lizard. + +"Ready, set, spray!" they said together. + +They pressed the button and a jet of water came out. It hit the lizard on the head. + +The lizard did not like it. It opened its mouth and hissed. It showed its sharp teeth. It jumped off the fence and ran away. + +Lily and Ben were scared. They dropped the bottle and ran back to the house. + +They told their mom what happened. She hugged them and said they were brave. + +She also said they should not spray animals. They might hurt them or make them angry. + +She said they could spray the flowers, the grass and each other. But only if they were gentle and had fun. + +Lily and Ben agreed. They said they were sorry. They said they liked the lizard. But they liked the spray bottle more. + +They went back to the garden. They picked up the bottle. They sprayed the flowers, the grass and each other. + +They also sprayed their dad. He was bald. He had no hair on his head. He was reading a book on the porch. + +He was surprised. He was wet. He was not happy. + +He looked at Lily and Ben. They smiled and said: + +"Spray, spray, spray!" +Lily and Tom were playing with their toys in the garden. They had a big boat with a sail and a small car. They liked to pretend that the boat was sailing on the sea and the car was driving on the land. + +One day, Lily had an idea. She wanted to make the car smaller, so it could fit on the boat. She found a magic wand in the house and waved it at the car. The car began to shrink and shrink, until it was as tiny as a bug. + +"Look, Tom, now the car can sail with the boat!" Lily said, and put the car on the boat. Tom was not happy. He liked the car the way it was. He tried to grab the car, but it was too small. He could not see it well. + +Suddenly, a big wind came and blew the sail. The boat started to move fast on the grass. Lily and Tom ran after it, but they could not catch it. The boat went over a hill and disappeared. + +Lily and Tom were very sad. They had lost their boat and their car. They wished they had not used the magic wand. They learned that it was not good to change things that were already good. + +The end. +Anna and Ben were playing with their dolls on the porch. They liked to pretend that the dolls were their babies and they were the mom and dad. Anna had a pink doll and Ben had a blue doll. + +"Let's go for a walk with our babies," Anna said. "We can put them in the stroller and show them the flowers and the birds." + +"No," Ben said. "I want to stay here and play with my cars. Cars are more fun than flowers and birds." + +Anna was sad. She wanted to go for a walk with Ben and their babies. She tried to make Ben change his mind. + +"Please, Ben, please," she said. "It will be fun. We can see the big dog and the nice lady and the yellow house. Maybe we can get a cookie from the nice lady." + +"No," Ben said again. He was stubborn. He did not want to do what Anna wanted. He leaned on the porch railing and played with his cars. He made loud noises with his mouth. + +Anna was angry. She did not like Ben's stubbornness. She leaned on the porch railing too and glared at Ben. She did not want to play with him anymore. She picked up her pink doll and hugged it. + +"Fine," she said. "I will go for a walk by myself. And I will not share my cookie with you. You are a mean brother." + +She put her doll in the stroller and walked away from the porch. She did not look back at Ben. + +Ben watched Anna leave. He felt a little sorry. He liked Anna and he liked cookies. He wondered if he should go after her and say sorry. But he was stubborn. He stayed on the porch and played with his cars. He pretended he did not care. +Tom and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of fun making noises and pretending to be animals. But then they heard a loud cry from the next room. It was their baby brother, Sam, who was awake from his nap. + +"Mommy, Sam is crying!" Lily said, dropping her toy horse. + +"Let's go see him," Tom said, following her. + +They ran to the nursery, where they saw Mommy holding Sam in her arms. Sam was still crying and kicking his legs. + +"What's wrong with him, Mommy?" Tom asked. + +"He's hungry, Tom. He needs some milk," Mommy said. + +"Can we help, Mommy?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, you can help. You can pause your game and sit quietly with me while I feed him," Mommy said. + +Tom and Lily nodded and sat on the couch next to Mommy. They watched as Mommy put Sam to her breast and he started to suck. His crying stopped and he looked calm and happy. + +"Wow, he likes milk a lot," Tom said. + +"Yes, he does. Milk is good for him. It makes him grow and strong," Mommy said. + +"Why does he cry so much, Mommy?" Lily asked. + +"Because he's an infant, Lily. He's very small and new. He doesn't know many things yet. He can't talk or walk or play like you. He only knows how to cry when he needs something," Mommy said. + +"Is he ignorant, Mommy?" Tom asked. + +Mommy smiled and kissed Tom's head. + +"No, he's not ignorant, Tom. He's just learning. He's curious and smart. He will learn many things soon. He will learn to smile and laugh and say your names. He will learn to crawl and stand and run. He will learn to play with you and love you. He's your brother, and he needs you to be kind and patient with him," Mommy said. + +Tom and Lily looked at Sam and smiled. They felt a warm feeling in their hearts. They loved their brother, even if he cried a lot. They wanted to help him and teach him. They wanted to be his friends. + +"Can we hug him, Mommy?" Lily asked. + +"Of course, you can. But be gentle and careful. He's very fragile," Mommy said. + +Tom and Lily leaned over and hugged Sam softly. Sam opened his eyes and looked at them. He made a small noise that sounded like a giggle. + +"Look, Mommy, he's happy!" Tom said. + +"Yes, he is. He's happy because he has you. You are his big brother and sister. You are his family. And he loves you very much," Mommy said. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park with their mom. They liked to swing, slide and run on the grass. Sometimes they saw other kids and said hello. + +One day, they saw a big dog with a long tail and a loud bark. The dog was with a man who held a rope. The dog saw Lily and Ben and ran to them. The man shouted, "Stop, Rover, stop!" + +Lily and Ben were scared of the dog. They did not like his big teeth and his wet nose. They ran to their mom and hugged her. The dog followed them and tried to sniff them. He was nosy and wanted to play. + +"Mom, mom, help!" Lily and Ben cried. "The dog is scary!" + +Mom was calm and did not panic. She knew the dog was friendly and the man was sorry. She said to Lily and Ben, "It's okay, sweeties, the dog won't hurt you. He just wants to say hello. Look, he is wagging his tail. That means he is happy." + +She said to the man, "Sorry, your dog scared my kids. They are not used to big dogs." + +The man said, "I'm sorry, too. Rover is a good dog, but he is very excited. He likes kids and wants to play. Can he say hello to your kids?" + +Mom asked Lily and Ben, "Do you want to pet the dog? He is soft and warm. He likes to be scratched behind his ears." + +Lily and Ben looked at the dog. He looked friendly and cute. He licked his lips and tilted his head. He did not bark or growl. + +Lily and Ben nodded. They let go of their mom and walked to the dog. They touched his fur and his ears. The dog licked their hands and wagged his tail. He was happy. + +Lily and Ben smiled. They were not scared anymore. They liked the dog. They said, "Hello, Rover. You are a nice dog." + +The man smiled, too. He said, "Thank you for being brave and kind. Rover likes you, too. Maybe we can see you again in the park." + +Mom said, "That would be nice. Maybe next time we can bring some treats for Rover." + +Lily and Ben said, "Yes, yes, please!" + +The result was that Lily and Ben made a new friend. They learned that dogs can be fun and gentle. They also learned not to panic when they see something new. They were happy and proud. They hugged their mom and the dog. They said, "We love you, mom. We love you, Rover." +Lily likes to play basketball with her big brother Sam. They have a big orange ball and a hoop in the yard. Lily can bounce the ball and throw it to Sam, but she cannot reach the hoop. Sam can reach the hoop and make the ball go in. He says "Swish!" when he does it. + +One day, Lily and Sam are playing basketball when they see a dog. The dog is black and white and has a long tail. The dog runs to the ball and picks it up in his mouth. He looks at Lily and Sam and wags his tail. He wants to play too. + +Lily and Sam speak to the dog. They say "Hello, dog! What is your name? Do you want to play with us?" The dog barks and drops the ball. He runs to Lily and licks her face. He is very friendly and warm. Lily laughs and hugs the dog. She says "You are a good dog. I like you." + +Sam picks up the ball and throws it to the dog. The dog chases the ball and brings it back. He drops it at Sam's feet and waits for him to throw it again. Sam says "You are a smart dog. You can play fetch." He throws the ball again and the dog runs after it. + +Lily and Sam play basketball and fetch with the dog for a long time. They have a lot of fun. They wonder who the dog belongs to and where he came from. They hope he will come back and play with them again. They say "Bye, dog! See you soon!" The dog barks and wags his tail. He runs away with the ball in his mouth. Lily and Sam smile and wave. They go inside and tell their mom about their new friend. +Anna liked to play doctor with her dolls. She had a white coat, a stethoscope, and a nurse hat. She was very independent and did not need help from anyone. She wanted to be a real doctor when she grew up. + +One day, she decided to play doctor with her little brother, Ben. Ben was only two years old and did not like to play doctor. He wanted to play with his cars and trucks. Anna said, "Ben, you have to be my patient. I need to check your ears and your throat. Come here and sit still." + +Ben did not want to sit still. He ran away from Anna and hid under the table. Anna followed him and tried to pull him out. Ben cried, "No, no, no! Stop, stop, stop! I don't want to play doctor. I want to play cars and trucks." + +Anna was angry. She said, "Ben, you are being silly and rude. You have to do what I say. I am the doctor and you are the patient. Now come out and let me check you." + +Ben did not come out. He kicked Anna in the face. Anna felt a sharp pain in her nose. She saw blood on her hand. She screamed, "Ow, ow, ow! Ben, you hurt me. You are a bad brother. I need a nurse. I need a nurse." + +Mom heard the scream and came running. She saw Anna's bloody nose and Ben's scared face. She said, "Oh, no, what happened? Anna, are you okay? Ben, what did you do?" + +Anna told Mom what happened. Mom said, "Anna, I know you like to play doctor, but you can't force Ben to play with you. He is too young and he has his own interests. You have to respect his choices and ask him nicely. Ben, I know you don't like to play doctor, but you can't kick Anna in the face. That is very dangerous and hurtful. You have to say sorry and be gentle with your sister." + +Mom took Anna to the bathroom and cleaned her nose. She put a band-aid on it and gave her a hug. She said, "Anna, you are very brave and independent, but sometimes you need a nurse too. It's okay to ask for help and to let others take care of you." + +Anna nodded and said, "Thank you, Mom. You are the best nurse. I'm sorry, Ben. I won't force you to play doctor anymore. Maybe we can play something else together." + +Ben came out from under the table and said, "I'm sorry, Anna. I didn't mean to hurt you. I was scared and angry. Maybe we can play cars and trucks together." + +Anna smiled and said, "Okay, Ben. I like cars and trucks too. Let's go and play." + +Mom watched them go and smiled. She was proud of her children. They learned a lesson and made up. She hoped they would always be kind and respectful to each other. She hoped they would always be happy and healthy. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big house on a hill. The house is round and has many windows. + +"Look, Tom, a round house!" Lily says. + +"Wow, it is so big and shiny!" Tom says. + +They run to the house and knock on the door. A lady opens the door. She has a big smile and a long dress. + +"Hello, children, do you want to see my house?" she asks. + +"Yes, please!" Lily and Tom say. + +The lady lets them in. The house is very pretty inside. There are many colors and toys and books. The lady shows them a big room with a sofa and a TV. + +"This is where I watch movies and spin on the sofa," she says. + +"Spin on the sofa? How do you do that?" Lily asks. + +The lady shows them a button on the sofa. She presses it and the sofa starts to spin slowly. + +"Wow, that is so fun!" Tom says. + +"Do you want to try?" the lady asks. + +"Yes, yes!" Lily and Tom say. + +They sit on the sofa and the lady presses the button. The sofa spins faster and faster. Lily and Tom laugh and scream. They feel dizzy and happy. + +"Spinning is easy and fun!" Lily says. + +"I love your house!" Tom says. + +The lady smiles and stops the sofa. She gives them cookies and juice. + +"Thank you for visiting me. You are very nice children," she says. + +"Thank you for letting us spin on your sofa. You are very nice too," Lily and Tom say. + +They hug the lady and say goodbye. They run back to the park and tell their friends about the round house and the spinning sofa. They all want to see it too. +One day, a little girl named Anna wanted to play outside in the snow. She put on her warm coat, hat, gloves and boots. She said goodbye to her mother and ran out the door. + +Anna saw a big snowman in the yard. She wanted to give him a hug. She ran towards him and wrapped her arms around his cold body. But then she heard a loud voice. + +"Freeze! Don't move!" the voice said. Anna was scared. She looked up and saw a boy with a snowball in his hand. He was hiding behind a tree. He was laughing at her. + +"Ha ha! I got you! You are frozen now! You can't play anymore!" the boy said. He threw another snowball at Anna. It hit her in the face. It hurt. + +Anna felt sad and angry. She wanted to cry. She wanted to go back to her mother. She tried to move, but the boy said, "No! You are frozen! You have to stay there!" + +Anna did not know what to do. She wished the boy would go away. She wished he would be nice to her. She wished he would be her friend. + +Then she had an idea. She said, "Okay, I am frozen. But can you do me a favor? Can you please give the snowman a hug too? He looks lonely." + +The boy was surprised. He did not expect Anna to say that. He thought she would be mad at him. He said, "Why? Why do you want me to hug the snowman?" + +Anna said, "Because he is cold and he needs a friend. Just like me. Just like you. Maybe if we hug him, he will be happy. And maybe we can be happy too." + +The boy thought about it. He felt a little sorry for Anna. He felt a little sorry for himself. He said, "Okay, fine. I will hug the snowman. But only for a second." + +He walked towards the snowman and gave him a quick hug. He felt the snowman's cold and wet body. He felt a little silly. But he also felt a little warm inside. + +He looked at Anna and saw her smile. He smiled back. He said, "You know what? You are not so bad. You are kind of nice. Do you want to play with me?" + +Anna nodded. She said, "Yes, I do. Thank you for being nice to me. You are kind of nice too." + +They both laughed. They let go of the snowman and started to play. They made more snowballs and threw them at each other. But this time, they did not hurt each other. They had fun. + +They became friends. They learned that being nice is better than being mean. They learned that everyone needs a hug sometimes. They learned that playing together is more fun than playing alone. + +The end. +Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They saw a big box near the fence. They wanted to see what was inside. + +"Let's open it!" Tom said. + +"OK!" Lily said. + +They ran to the box and tried to lift the lid. But the box was too heavy. They could not move it. + +They pushed and pulled. They kicked and jumped. They grunted and groaned. They struggled a lot. But the box did not budge. + +They were tired and sad. They sat on the grass and looked at the box. + +"Maybe there is something scary in the box," Lily said. + +"Maybe there is a monster or a snake or a spider," Tom said. + +They shivered and hugged each other. + +Suddenly, they heard a noise from the box. It was a soft and sweet noise. It sounded like a meow. + +They looked at each other and smiled. + +"Maybe there is a kitty in the box," Lily said. + +"Maybe it is a harmless and friendly kitty," Tom said. + +They got up and went to the box again. They knocked on the lid and said, "Hello, kitty. Are you in there?" + +The meow became louder and louder. The box shook a little. + +They lifted the lid together. And they saw a fluffy and cute kitty. It was white and black and had green eyes. It looked at them and purred. + +They were happy and surprised. They picked up the kitty and cuddled it. + +"Hello, kitty. We are Tom and Lily. Do you want to play with us?" Tom said. + +"Yes, yes, yes. I want to play with you. I was lonely and bored in the box. Thank you for finding me," the kitty said. + +They laughed and played with the kitty. They gave it a name and a bowl of milk. They made it a bed of blankets. They became friends with the kitty. + +They did not care about the box anymore. They had found something better. They had found a new friend. +Lily was sad. She had a bad dream and woke up in the dark. She wanted her mom and dad, but they were sleeping. She rubbed her eyes and looked for her teddy bear. She saw a gray shape on the floor. She thought it was her teddy bear, so she reached for it. + +But it was not her teddy bear. It was a big mouse. The mouse squeaked and ran away. Lily screamed and jumped on her bed. She was scared of the mouse. She wanted her teddy bear. + +Mom and dad heard Lily scream. They ran to her room and turned on the light. They saw Lily crying on her bed. They hugged her and asked her what was wrong. + +"I saw a mouse! A big gray mouse! It was not my teddy bear!" Lily sobbed. + +"Oh, honey, it's okay. It was just a mouse. It won't hurt you. It was probably looking for food. We'll get rid of it tomorrow. Where is your teddy bear?" Mom said. + +Lily looked around and saw her teddy bear on the chair. She grabbed it and hugged it. She felt better with her teddy bear. She rubbed its nose and gave it a kiss. + +"Here is your teddy bear. He will keep you safe and cozy. Do you want to sleep with us tonight?" Dad said. + +Lily nodded and smiled. She liked sleeping with mom and dad. They were warm and soft. She put her thumb in her mouth and cuddled with her teddy bear. She closed her eyes and fell asleep. She did not have any more bad dreams. +Ben and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and hide. They saw a big green house with a red door. They wanted to see what was inside. + +"Let's enter the house," Ben said. "Maybe there are toys or candy." + +"OK, but be careful," Lily said. "We don't know who lives there." + +They opened the door and went in. The house was very hot. They saw a big pot on the stove. It was bubbling and steaming. They smelled something sweet and fresh. + +"What is that?" Lily asked. + +"I think it is mint," Ben said. "My mom sometimes puts mint in tea. It makes your mouth feel cool." + +They went closer to the pot. They saw a man standing by the window. He had a long beard and a hat. He turned around and saw them. + +"Who are you?" he asked. "What are you doing in my house?" + +Ben and Lily were scared. They ran to the door. But the door was locked. They could not get out. + +"Help!" they shouted. "Let us go!" + +The man laughed. He said, "You are too curious, my little ones. You entered my house without asking. Now you will stay here and help me make mint candy. It is very hot and hard work. But you will learn to love it." + +Ben and Lily cried. They wished they had never entered the house. They wished they had stayed in the garden. They wished they had listened to Lily. +Lily and Tom are cats. They live with a nice lady who gives them food and water and toys. Lily and Tom like to play and nap and cuddle with the lady. + +One day, the lady goes out and leaves a big can of tuna on the table. Lily and Tom smell the tuna and jump on the table. They see the can and try to open it with their paws and teeth, but it is too hard. + +"Tom, how can we get the tuna?" Lily asks. + +"I have an idea," Tom says. "Look, there is an orange thing on the wall. It is a can opener. Maybe it can help us." + +Tom jumps on the wall and pushes the can opener with his nose. It makes a loud noise and falls on the floor. Lily and Tom run to the floor and pick up the can opener. They drag it to the table and try to use it on the can. + +But the can opener is too big and heavy for them. They cannot make it work. They get tired and frustrated. + +"Lily, this is too hard. Let's give up," Tom says. + +"No, Tom, we can do it. We just need to try harder. We want the tuna, right?" Lily says. + +"Yes, we do, but how?" Tom says. + +They look at the can and the can opener and think hard. They spend a long time trying to figure out a way to open the can. They do not hear the lady come back home. + +The lady sees the mess on the table and the floor. She sees the can of tuna and the can opener. She sees Lily and Tom looking at her with guilty faces. + +"What have you two been doing?" the lady asks. + +Lily and Tom meow and purr and rub against her legs. They hope she will not be mad at them. + +The lady smiles and shakes her head. She picks up the can opener and opens the can of tuna. She puts some tuna in a bowl and gives it to Lily and Tom. + +"Here you go, you silly cats. Enjoy your tuna. But next time, please wait for me to feed you, okay?" the lady says. + +Lily and Tom nod and lick the tuna. They are happy and grateful. They love the lady and the tuna. They forget about the can opener and the trouble. They eat and snuggle and nap. They are good cats. +Anna and Ben like to play with their toys. They have many toys, but their favorite is a big red car. The car can make sounds and move by itself. They play with the car every day. + +One day, the car stops working. Anna and Ben are sad. They try to make the car work, but they cannot. They ask their mom for help. Mom says the car needs new batteries. She says she will buy them next week. + +Anna and Ben wait for a week. They play with other toys, but they miss the car. They hope the car will work again soon. + +Finally, mom comes home with new batteries. She opens the car and puts the batteries inside. She closes the car and turns it on. The car makes sounds and moves by itself. Anna and Ben are happy. They hug mom and thank her. They play with the car again. + +Mom says she is glad she could restore the car. She says the car is dry and clean. She says Anna and Ben should take good care of the car. Anna and Ben say they will. They love the car and mom. They have fun. +Sara and Tom were best friends. They liked to play in the big maze in the park. They pretended they were kings and queens and had many adventures. + +One day, Sara said to Tom, "Let's get married. We can have a wedding in the maze and invite all our friends." + +Tom nodded and said, "Yes, let's do that. That sounds like fun. But we need to find a way out of the maze first." + +They held hands and walked through the maze. They looked for signs and clues to help them. They saw flowers, birds, and bugs. They also saw some other kids who were playing in the maze. + +"Hello," Sara said to them. "Do you know how to get out of the maze?" + +The other kids smiled and said, "Yes, we do. We can show you. But first, you have to tell us why you want to get out." + +Sara and Tom looked at each other and said, "We want to get out because we are going to get married. We want to have a wedding in the park and invite all our friends." + +The other kids gasped and said, "Wow, that's so cool. We want to come to your wedding. Can we be your guests?" + +Sara and Tom said, "Of course, you can. You are our new friends. Come with us." + +They followed the other kids out of the maze. They saw the sun shining and the grass green. They saw a big tree with a swing and a table with a cake. + +They were ready to get married. They put flowers in their hair and rings on their fingers. They said, "I do" and kissed. They ate cake and played on the swing. They had a happy wedding in the park. +Tom and Lily were playing with their wagon in the yard. They liked to fill it with toys and pull it around. Sometimes they pretended it was a train or a car or a boat. + +"Choo choo!" Tom said, making a loud noise. "I am the driver of the wagon train. Where do you want to go, Lily?" + +Lily smiled and said, "I want to go to the park. I want to see the ducks and the swings and the slide." + +"Okay, let's go to the park!" Tom said, pulling the wagon. "But first, we have to repeat the rules. Do you remember the rules, Lily?" + +Lily nodded and said, "Yes, I remember. Repeat after me. Rule one: we have to stay together. Rule two: we have to look both ways before we cross the street. Rule three: we have to be nice to other kids and share our toys." + +"Good job, Lily!" Tom said, clapping his hands. "You are a smart passenger. Now, let's go to the park!" + +They pulled the wagon along the sidewalk, repeating the rules as they went. They had a lot of fun at the park. They fed the ducks, swung on the swings, and slid down the slide. They also made some new friends and played with them. + +After a while, they started to feel sleepy. They yawned and rubbed their eyes. They decided to go back home. + +"Are you tired, Lily?" Tom asked, as he put the toys back in the wagon. + +"Yes, I am tired, Tom," Lily said, as she climbed into the wagon. "Can you pull me home, please?" + +"Sure, I can pull you home, Lily," Tom said, as he took the handle of the wagon. "But you have to repeat the rules one more time. Do you remember the rules, Lily?" + +Lily nodded and said, "Yes, I remember. Repeat after me. Rule one: we have to stay together. Rule two: we have to look both ways before we cross the street. Rule three: we have to be nice to other kids and share our toys." + +"Good job, Lily!" Tom said, as he pulled the wagon. "You are a good passenger. Now, let's go home and take a nap!" + +They repeated the rules as they went home. They were very sleepy and happy. They had a great day with their wagon. +Tom likes to jog with his dad. They jog in the park, where there are many trees and flowers. Tom likes to see the birds and the squirrels. He likes to jog fast and feel the wind on his face. + +One day, Tom and his dad jog to a big hill. Tom wants to jog up the hill, but his dad says it is too hard. He says they can jog around the hill, and then jog down. Tom agrees, and they jog around the hill. They see a big lake and a bridge. They jog over the bridge and hear the water. + +When they jog down the hill, Tom sees a turn. He wants to jog to the turn and see what is there. He tells his dad, and his dad says okay. They jog to the turn and see a big truck. The truck is heavy and loud. It has many boxes and bags. Tom wonders what is in the boxes and bags. + +A man comes out of the truck. He says hello to Tom and his dad. He says he is moving to a new house. He says he needs help to carry the boxes and bags. He asks Tom and his dad if they can help. Tom and his dad say yes. They help the man carry the boxes and bags. Some are light and some are heavy. Tom likes to help. He feels strong and happy. + +When they finish, the man thanks Tom and his dad. He gives them some cookies and juice. He says they are very kind and helpful. He says he hopes to see them again. Tom and his dad say goodbye. They eat the cookies and drink the juice. They feel tired and thirsty. They jog back to their home. They have a good day. +Sam and Mia were twins who liked to play in their room. They had many toys and books, but their favorite thing was their big mattress. They liked to jump on it, roll on it, and pretend it was a boat or a castle. + +One day, they heard a loud noise from their mattress. It sounded like air was coming out. They looked and saw a small hole in the corner. The mattress was getting flat. + +"Oh no!" Sam said. "Our mattress is broken! We can't play on it anymore!" + +Mia frowned. She loved their mattress. She did not want to lose it. She had an idea. "Maybe we can solve it," she said. "Maybe we can fix the hole." + +Sam looked at her. He was not sure. "How?" he asked. + +Mia thought hard. She remembered that their mom had a kit for fixing things. She ran to the closet and found it. It had a needle, some thread, and a patch. She brought it to the mattress. + +"Look," she said. "We can use this to close the hole. Then the air will stay in." + +Sam nodded. He thought it was a good idea. He helped Mia to sew the patch over the hole. They worked very carefully. They did not want to make the hole bigger. + +When they were done, they blew into the hole to make the mattress full again. They tested it by jumping on it. It felt like before. It was not flat anymore. + +"Yay!" they cheered. "We solved it! We fixed our mattress!" + +They hugged each other. They were very happy. They thanked their mom for the kit. They decided to be more careful with their mattress. They knew it was serious to take care of their things. They played on it until it was time for bed. They slept on it and dreamed of more adventures. +Lily and Ben are playing in the park. They like to run and jump and slide. They see a big pond with ducks and fish. Lily wants to feed the ducks. She has some bread in her bag. + +"Look, Ben, ducks!" Lily says. She takes out a piece of bread and breaks it into small bits. She throws them into the pond. The ducks swim and quack and eat the bread. + +Ben wants to feed the fish. He sees some fish in the clear water. They are shiny and colorful. He takes out a piece of bread and crumbles it into tiny bits. He sprinkles them into the pond. The fish swim and nibble and eat the bread. + +Lily and Ben are happy. They watch the ducks and the fish. They see something else in the pond. It is round and shiny and has two eyes. It blinks at them. + +"What is that?" Lily asks. She points at the thing in the pond. + +"I don't know," Ben says. He leans over the pond to see better. + +The thing in the pond jumps out of the water. It is a frog. It lands on Ben's head. Ben screams and falls to the ground. The frog hops away. + +Lily laughs. She helps Ben get up. Ben is wet and dirty. He is not happy. + +"Sorry, Ben," Lily says. "It was just a frog. It was funny." + +Ben looks at Lily. He sees her smile. He smiles too. + +"It was funny," Ben says. "But I don't like frogs." + +They hug and go back to playing. They forget about the frog. They have fun in the park. +Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big house with a pool. They want to swim in the pool. + +"Let's go to the pool," Sara says. "It looks fun and wet." + +"But we don't know who lives there," Ben says. "Maybe they are rich and mean." + +Sara does not listen. She runs to the pool and jumps in. Ben follows her. They splash and laugh in the water. + +Soon, a man comes out of the house. He is angry. He sees Sara and Ben in his pool. + +"Hey, you kids! Get out of my pool!" he yells. "This is my pool, not yours!" + +Sara and Ben are scared. They get out of the pool and run away. But the man is faster. He catches them and grabs them. + +"I'm going to call your parents and the police!" he says. "You are in big trouble!" + +Sara and Ben cry. They wish they had not gone to the pool. They wish they had not mentioned the pool. They wish they had stayed in the park. +Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play outside. But today it is very cold. The wind is strong and the snow is white. + +Tom has a big coat and a hat. Sue has a small coat and no hat. Sue is cold. She wants to go inside. But Tom wants to play more. He likes the snow. He makes a snowman and a snowball. + +"Look, Sue, a snowman!" Tom says. He is happy. He throws the snowball at Sue. Sue is not happy. She is angry. She is cold and wet. + +"Stop, Tom, stop!" Sue says. She is serious. She does not like the snow. She does not like the snowball. She wants to go inside. + +Tom does not stop. He makes another snowball. He throws it at Sue again. Sue is very angry. She cries. She runs inside. + +Tom is sad. He does not understand. He likes Sue. He likes to play with Sue. He does not want to hurt Sue. He wants to say sorry. He follows Sue inside. He hopes Sue will be his friend again. +Sam and Mia are best friends. They like to play with their toys and zoom around the house. One day, they find a big box in the living room. They think it is a new toy for them. + +"Let's open it!" Sam says. + +"OK!" Mia says. + +They open the box and see a shiny tea set. It has cups, saucers, spoons and a pot. It looks very pretty and fun. + +"Wow! Look at this!" Sam says. + +"Can we play with it?" Mia asks. + +"Sure! Let's have a tea party!" Sam says. + +They take out the tea set and set it on the floor. They pretend to pour tea and drink it. They make funny noises and faces. They are very playful and happy. + +But they do not know that the tea set is not a toy. It is a gift for their mom. It is very expensive and fragile. Their mom bought it from a faraway place. She loves it very much. + +She comes home and sees the box open. She sees the tea set on the floor. She sees Sam and Mia playing with it. She is very angry and sad. + +"What are you doing?" she yells. + +"Mommy, we are having a tea party!" Sam says. + +"Mommy, we found this in the box!" Mia says. + +"This is not for you! This is for me! You broke it! You ruined it!" she cries. + +She picks up the tea set and sees that some of the cups and saucers are cracked and chipped. The pot has a dent and a scratch. The spoons are bent and twisted. She is very upset and disappointed. + +She scolds Sam and Mia and sends them to their rooms. She tells them they are not allowed to play with their toys or zoom around the house. She tells them they are very naughty and careless. + +Sam and Mia are very sorry and sad. They did not mean to break the tea set. They did not know it was a gift. They just wanted to have fun. They wish they could make their mom happy again. They cry in their rooms and feel very bad. +Jen and Sam liked to play in the old house. It was big and had many rooms to explore. But their mom said they could not go to the attic. She said it was not safe and there was a ghost there. + +One day, Jen and Sam were very curious. They wanted to see the attic and the ghost. They waited until their mom was busy and sneaked up the stairs. They found a door with a heavy lock. Sam had a key he had found in the yard. He tried to open the door. + +"Stop, Sam!" Jen said. "Mom will be angry if she finds out. And what if the ghost is real and scary?" + +"Don't be silly, Jen. There is no ghost. And mom will not know. Come on, let's see what's inside." Sam said. He turned the key and opened the door. + +The attic was dark and dusty. There were boxes and old things everywhere. Jen and Sam walked inside and looked around. They saw a big mirror, a rocking horse, a dress, and a hat. They tried them on and pretended to be grown-ups. + +They did not see the ghost. The ghost was hiding behind a curtain. He did not like visitors. He wanted to be alone. He watched Jen and Sam play with his things. He got angry and decided to scare them away. + +He made a loud noise and moved the curtain. Jen and Sam saw him. He was white and transparent, with a long cloak and a mean face. He had no eyes, only holes. He opened his mouth and said, "Boo!" + +Jen and Sam screamed. They dropped the things they were holding and ran to the door. They tried to open it, but it was locked. The key was on the floor. The ghost laughed and said, "You should not have come here. This is my attic. I do not permit you to play with my things. Now you will stay here with me forever." + +Jen and Sam cried. They were very scared and sorry. They wished they had listened to their mom. They hugged each other and hoped she would come and save them. +Lily and Sam were at the beach with Mom and Dad. They liked to play in the sand and look at the ocean. The ocean was big and blue and made loud noises. + +"Look, Lily, I can print my name in the sand!" Sam said. He used a stick to write S-A-M. + +"That's good, Sam. Can you print my name too?" Lily asked. + +"OK, Lily. I will print L-I-L-Y." Sam said. He wrote Lily's name next to his. + +They were happy to see their names in the sand. They wanted to show Mom and Dad. + +"Mom, Dad, come and see what we did!" Lily called. + +Mom and Dad came over and smiled. + +"Wow, you two are very clever. You can print your names in the sand!" Mom said. + +"Can we go in the ocean, Mom?" Sam asked. + +"Only if you hold our hands, Sam. The ocean can be scary sometimes. It can be deep and have big waves." Dad said. + +"OK, Dad. I will hold your hand. Lily, will you hold Mom's hand?" Sam said. + +"OK, Sam. I will hold Mom's hand. I don't want to be scared of the ocean." Lily said. + +They walked to the edge of the water and felt the cold and wet on their feet. They laughed and splashed and had fun. They were not scared of the ocean anymore. They liked the ocean. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys in their room. One day, they find a big box in the hall. They decide to open it and see what is inside. + +Inside the box, they see many old things. There are clothes, books, photos, and a doll. The doll has a pretty dress, but a sad face. Anna likes the doll and wants to keep it. Ben does not like the doll and wants to throw it away. + +"No, Ben, don't do that!" Anna says. "The doll is nice. She needs a home." + +"But she is old and ugly," Ben says. "She has a hole in her dress and a crack in her face. She is not fun to play with." + +They start to pull the doll from each other. They are angry and loud. They do not hear their grandma coming. + +"Children, what are you doing?" Grandma asks. She sees the doll in their hands. She looks surprised and sad. + +"That is my doll," Grandma says. "Her name is Lucy. She was my best friend when I was a little girl. She helped me when I was lonely and scared. She is very special to me." + +Anna and Ben stop fighting. They look at Grandma's face. They see that she loves the doll. They feel sorry for making her sad. + +"We are sorry, Grandma," Anna says. "We did not know. We found the doll in the box." + +"Yes, Grandma, we are sorry," Ben says. "We did not mean to hurt you. We were just playing." + +Grandma smiles and hugs them. She tells them stories about Lucy and her childhood. She says they can play with the doll, but they have to be gentle and kind. + +Anna and Ben nod and say yes. They decide to share the doll and take good care of her. They think Grandma is very wise and kind. They love her and Lucy very much. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play in their room. They have many toys and books. But they do not like to clean up. They leave their toys and books on the floor. + +One day, Mom comes to their room. She sees the mess. She is not happy. She says, "Sara and Ben, you have to clean up your room. It is too messy. If you do not clean up, I will punish you. You will not watch TV or have cookies." + +Sara and Ben do not listen. They say, "No, Mom, we do not want to clean up. We want to play. Cleaning up is boring." They run away from Mom. They hide under the bed. + +Mom is angry. She says, "Sara and Ben, come out now. You are being naughty. You have to do what I say." She looks under the bed. She sees Sara and Ben. They are scared. + +Mom turns off the light. The room is dark. Sara and Ben do not like the dark. They cry. They say, "Mom, please turn on the light. We are sorry. We will clean up our room. Please do not punish us." + +Mom turns on the light. The room is bright. Sara and Ben see their toys and books. They see a pink basket. Mom says, "This is your basket. You have to put your toys and books in the basket. Then your room will be tidy. Do you understand?" + +Sara and Ben nod. They say, "Yes, Mom, we understand. We will clean up our room. We do not want to be naughty. We love you, Mom." They hug Mom. They start to put their toys and books in the pink basket. Mom smiles. She says, "I love you, too, Sara and Ben. You are good children. When you finish, you can watch TV and have cookies." Sara and Ben are happy. They say, "Thank you, Mom." They finish cleaning up their room. They watch TV and have cookies with Mom. They are good children. +Lily liked to jog with her dad every morning. They put on their shoes and hats and went outside. They jogged around the park and saw many things. They saw birds and flowers and dogs and people. Lily said hello to everyone. She was very friendly. + +After they jogged, they went back home. They were sweaty and tired. They took off their shoes and hats and went to the bathroom. They took a shower together. They used soap and water and shampoo. They made bubbles and splashed and laughed.

They laugh and throw leaves at each other. + +But then, they smell something bad. They look at the leaves. Some of the leaves are brown and soft. They have spots and holes. They are rotting. + +"Yuck!" Tom says. "These leaves are rotting. They smell bad. They are not healthy." + +"Let's get out of here!" Sam says. "We don't want to touch the rotting leaves. They might make us sick." + +They climb out of the pile and run away. They find a clean spot in the park. They play with a ball and a kite. They are happy and healthy again. +Lila and Tom were hungry. They wanted to eat some melon. Mom cut a big melon for them. She gave them two plates and two spoons. + +"Here you go, kids. Enjoy your melon. But first, you have to wash your hands," Mom said. + +Lila and Tom ran to the sink. They turned on the water. They put soap on their hands. They rubbed their hands together. They rinsed their hands. They dried their hands with a towel. + +They went back to the table. They picked up their spoons. They scooped some melon. They put it in their mouths. + +"Yuck!" Lila and Tom said at the same time. They spit out the melon. They made a face. + +"What's wrong, kids? Don't you like the melon?" Mom asked. + +"The melon is bad, Mom. It tastes funny. It is not sweet. It is sour," Lila said. + +Mom looked at the melon. She smelled it. She tasted a small piece. She spit it out too. + +"You're right, kids. The melon is bad. I'm sorry. I didn't know. It looked good on the outside, but it was rotten on the inside," Mom said. + +"Can we have something else, Mom? We are still hungry," Tom said. + +"Of course, kids. How about some apple slices and cheese? They are good and fresh," Mom said. + +"Yes, please, Mom. We like apple slices and cheese. They are yummy," Lila and Tom said. + +Mom threw away the bad melon. She washed a new knife. She cut some apple slices and cheese. She put them on a new plate. She gave it to Lila and Tom. + +"Here you go, kids. Enjoy your apple slices and cheese. And thank you for washing your hands," Mom said. + +Lila and Tom smiled. They thanked Mom. They ate their apple slices and cheese. They were happy. They liked their snack. They liked their Mom. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play with blocks and cars. They also like to learn new things. One day, they learn about numbers. Numbers are how you count things, like fingers and toes. + +"Look, I have ten fingers," Anna says, holding up her hands. "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten." + +"That's cool," Ben says. "I have ten fingers too. And ten toes. Can you number your toes?" + +Anna nods. She takes off her shoes and socks. She points to her toes and says the numbers. "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten." + +Ben claps. "You are good at numbers, Anna. Can you number my toes too?" + +Anna smiles. She crawls to Ben and looks at his feet. She points to his toes and says the numbers. But when she gets to ten, she sees something funny. Ben has an extra toe on his left foot. It is small and hidden. + +"Ben, you have eleven toes!" Anna says, surprised. + +Ben giggles. He gives Anna a wink. "That's my secret toe. It makes me special. Do you want to see it?" + +Anna nods. She is curious. Ben lifts his left foot and shows her his secret toe. It is tiny and cute. + +"Wow, it is so small. Can you move it?" Anna asks. + +Ben tries to wiggle his secret toe. It moves a little bit. Anna laughs. She touches it gently. + +"It is soft. I like your secret toe, Ben. It is a good secret," Anna says. + +Ben smiles. He puts his foot down and hugs Anna. "Thank you, Anna. You are a good friend. You are dependable. You don't tell my secret to anyone." + +Anna hugs him back. "You are welcome, Ben. You are a good friend too. You are fun and smart. And you have a secret toe. That's awesome." + +They giggle and play some more. They are happy. They have numbers and winks and secrets and friends. +One day, Tom and his dad went to the park. They saw many deer in the grass. Tom liked the deer. He wanted to feed them. + +"Can I give them some bread, dad?" Tom asked. + +"OK, but be careful. Don't go too close to them. They might be scared," dad said. + +Tom took a piece of bread from his bag. He broke it into small bits. He spread the bits on the ground. He hoped the deer would come and eat them. + +But the deer did not come. They stayed far away from Tom. They looked at him with big eyes. They did not like the bread. + +Tom felt sad. He wanted to make friends with the deer. He tried to call them. + +"Here, deer, deer. Come and eat. The bread is yummy," Tom said. + +But the deer did not listen. They turned their heads. They ran away. + +Tom did not understand. He thought the deer were stupid. He did not like them anymore. + +He threw the rest of the bread on the ground. He stomped his feet. He cried. + +"Dad, the deer are stupid. They don't want my bread. They don't want to play with me," Tom said. + +Dad hugged Tom. He wiped his tears. He smiled. + +"Tom, the deer are not stupid. They are just different. They eat grass and leaves, not bread. They are shy and wild, not friendly and tame. They don't know you. They are afraid of you," dad said. + +"Then how can I make them like me?" Tom asked. + +"You can't, Tom. You have to respect them. You have to let them be. You have to watch them from a distance. You have to enjoy their beauty and grace. You have to love them for what they are, not what you want them to be," dad said. + +Tom nodded. He understood. He looked at the deer again. He saw them run and jump. He saw them nibble and chew. He saw them flick their ears and tails. He saw them happy and free. + +He smiled. He felt happy too. + +He said, "Dad, the deer are not stupid. They are amazing. I love them." +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play in their room. They have many toys and books and a big fan. The fan makes cool air when it is hot. + +One day, Mom says, "Anna and Ben, you need to clean your room. It is very messy. Put your toys and books in the boxes. I will come and check later." + +Anna and Ben say, "OK, Mom." But they do not want to clean. They want to play. They turn on the fan and pretend it is a spaceship. They make loud noises and fly around the room. + +Mom comes and sees the room. She is very angry. She says, "Anna and Ben, you did not clean your room. You made it worse. You are very naughty. You cannot play with the fan anymore. I will take it away." + +Anna and Ben are very sad. They say, "No, Mom, please. We love the fan. It is lovely. We are sorry. We will clean our room now." + +But Mom says, "No, it is too late. You had your chance. You need to learn your lesson. The fan is gone. Now go and clean your room." + +Mom takes the fan and leaves. Anna and Ben cry. They have no fan and no fun. They have to clean their room. They wish they had listened to Mom. +Sam and Mia were twins who liked to play with toys. One day, they saw a big, shiny car in the toy store. It had lights, sounds, and doors that opened and closed. They both wanted the car very much. + +"Mom, can we have the car, please?" they asked together. They used the word "request" to show they were polite. + +Mom looked at the price tag and shook her head. "No, my loves, that car is too expensive. We don't have enough money for it. How about we get something else?" She used the word "expensive" to show the car cost a lot of money. + +But Sam and Mia did not listen. They felt a strong urge to have the car. They used the word "urge" to show they really, really wanted it. They started to cry and scream and kick. They made a big fuss in the store. + +Mom was very angry and sad. She tried to calm them down, but they did not stop. She had no choice but to take them home without any toys. She used the word "choice" to show she had to do something. + +Sam and Mia were still crying and screaming when they got home. They did not have the car or any other toys. They had made Mom unhappy and themselves unhappy. They had a bad ending. They used the word "bad" to show they did not like what happened. +Lily was a little fish who lived in a big lake. She liked to swim and play with her friends, but she was also curious about the world outside the water. One day, she saw a fisherman on a boat. He had a long stick with a string and a shiny thing at the end. Lily wanted to see the shiny thing, so she swam closer to the boat. + +"Hello, fisherman!" she said. "What is that shiny thing you have?" + +The fisherman did not hear Lily, but he saw her fins and scales. He smiled and pulled the string. The shiny thing moved and made a splash. Lily thought it was a game, so she followed the shiny thing and tried to catch it with her mouth. But when she did, she felt a sharp pain and a tug. The shiny thing was a hook, and it was stuck in her lip. The fisherman had tricked her! + +"Gotcha!" the fisherman said. "You are a big and beautiful fish. You will make a good dinner for me and my family." + +Lily was scared and sad. She did not want to be dinner. She wanted to go back to her friends and the lake. She tried to wiggle and shake, but the hook was too strong. She felt the fisherman pulling her out of the water. She saw his face and his net. She thought it was the end. + +But then, something happened. A big wave came and hit the boat. The boat rocked and tipped. The fisherman lost his balance and dropped his stick and his net. Lily saw her chance. She used all her strength and bit the string. The string broke and the hook came out of her lip. She was free! + +Lily quickly swam away from the boat and the fisherman. She felt a little pain in her lip, but she was happy to escape. She found her friends and told them what happened. They hugged her and said she was brave and lucky. Lily learned her lesson. She never went near the fisherman or his shiny thing again. She was happy to stay in the lake and play with her friends. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play soccer in the park. They have a ball and two goals. They take turns to kick the ball and try to score. + +One day, it starts to rain. The grass becomes wet and slippery. Lily and Ben do not mind. They keep playing and having fun. They splash in the puddles and laugh. + +"Watch this!" Lily says. She runs with the ball and kicks it hard. The ball flies towards the goal. + +"Wow!" Ben says. He tries to stop the ball, but he slips and falls. The ball goes into the goal. Lily cheers. + +"Good job, Lily!" Ben says. He gets up and hugs her. "You are a great soccer player!" + +"Thank you, Ben!" Lily says. "You are a great friend!" + +They are both wet and muddy, but they do not care. They are happy. + +They decide to go home and change their clothes. They say goodbye to each other and walk to their houses. + +When they get home, their moms are waiting for them. They are not angry. They smile and help them clean up. + +They give them warm milk and cookies. They read them a story. They tuck them in their beds. + +Lily and Ben are tired. They close their eyes and sleep. They dream of playing soccer again. +Tom and Lily were adventurous kids. They liked to play outside and explore new things. One day, they saw a big snowman in the park. They ran to it and wanted to touch it. + +"Wow, look at his nose!" Tom said. "It is a big carrot!" + +"And his eyes are black rocks!" Lily said. "Can we take them?" + +They reached for the snowman's face, but then they heard a loud voice. + +"Freeze! Don't touch my snowman!" It was Sam, the boy who lived next door. He had made the snowman with his dad. He was angry that Tom and Lily wanted to ruin it. + +Tom and Lily were scared. They let go of the snowman and backed away. + +"Sorry, Sam, we didn't know it was yours," Tom said. + +"We just wanted to see it, it is very nice," Lily said. + +Sam looked at them and saw that they were not mean. He felt a little sorry for yelling at them. + +"It's okay, I guess," he said. "But you have to be careful. The snowman is fragile. He can break into pieces." + +"Really?" Tom asked. "How?" + +"Well, if it gets too warm, he will melt. Or if someone pushes him, he will fall. Or if a bird pecks him, he will lose his nose," Sam explained. + +"That's sad," Lily said. "We don't want him to break. He is your friend." + +Sam smiled. He liked that Tom and Lily were nice and curious. He decided to share his snowman with them. + +"Do you want to help me decorate him?" he asked. "I have some buttons and a scarf and a hat." + +"Sure!" Tom and Lily said. They were happy that Sam was friendly and generous. They followed him to his house and got the things. + +They had fun putting the buttons, the scarf and the hat on the snowman. They made him look even nicer. They also gave him a name: Frosty. + +They played with Frosty until it was time to go home. They said goodbye to him and to Sam. + +"Thank you for letting us play with your snowman, Sam," Tom said. + +"Yeah, thank you, Sam. He is awesome," Lily said. + +"You're welcome, Tom and Lily. You are awesome too," Sam said. "Come back tomorrow and we can play some more." + +They agreed and ran to their homes. They were glad that they had made a new friend and had an adventurous day. +Lily and Ben were twins. They liked to play with their toys and read books. Sometimes they got bored at home. They wanted to see new things and meet new people. + +One day, their mom said, "We are going to visit grandma and grandpa. They live far away, in a big house. They have a dog and a garden. You will have fun there." + +Lily and Ben were excited. They packed their bags and got in the car. They drove for a long time. They saw mountains and rivers and farms. They asked mom many questions. + +"Are we there yet?" Ben said. + +"Soon, honey. Soon." Mom said. + +Finally, they arrived at grandma and grandpa's house. They hugged and kissed them. They met the dog, who was friendly and fluffy. They ran to the garden, where they saw flowers and fruits and birds. + +"Wow, this is so different from our home!" Lily said. + +"Yes, it is. But it is also very nice. You can explore and learn new things here." Grandpa said. + +Lily and Ben played in the garden until it was dark. Then they went inside and had dinner. They ate soup and bread and pie. They told grandma and grandpa about their home and their toys and their books. + +They were tired, but happy. They went to their room, where they had two beds and a window. They brushed their teeth and put on their pajamas. + +"Good night, Lily. Good night, Ben." Mom said. + +"Good night, mom. We love you." They said. + +They cuddled with their blankets and pillows. They looked at the stars and the moon. They felt safe and warm. + +They settled in their beds and fell asleep. They dreamed of their home and their visit. They knew that both places were normal and good. They were happy. +Anna and Ben like to play with their toys. They have a big box of blocks, cars, dolls and animals. They like to make different things with their blocks, like houses, bridges and towers. Sometimes they pretend that their cars and dolls are going on trips. + +One day, they decide to make a van with their blocks. They find some big blocks for the wheels, some long blocks for the sides, and some small blocks for the windows and doors. They put them together and make a nice van. They are very happy with their van. + +"Look, we made a van!" Anna says to Ben. + +"Yes, we did! It is a very good van!" Ben says to Anna. + +"Can we play with it?" Anna asks. + +"Sure, let's go!" Ben says. + +They put some of their dolls and animals inside the van and pretend that they are driving to the park. They make sounds like "vroom, vroom" and "beep, beep". They have a lot of fun. + +But then, they see that their mom is making a cake in the kitchen. They smell the sweet and yummy cake. They want to help their mom. + +"Mom, can we help you?" Anna asks. + +"Of course, you can. You are very clever kids!" Mom says. + +She gives them a big bowl and a spoon. She tells them to mix some flour, sugar, eggs and butter in the bowl. They take turns to add the ingredients and stir them with the spoon. They make a smooth and creamy batter. + +"Wow, you are very good at mixing!" Mom says. + +"Thank you, Mom!" Anna and Ben say. + +They pour the batter into a cake pan and Mom puts it in the oven. They wait for the cake to bake. They are very excited. + +They go back to their van and play some more. They pretend that they are going to the bakery to buy some more cake. They make sounds like "vroom, vroom" and "beep, beep". They have a lot of fun. + +Soon, the cake is ready. Mom takes it out of the oven and lets it cool. She puts some frosting and sprinkles on top. She cuts a big slice for Anna and Ben. + +"Here you go, kids. You made a delicious cake!"

The dog ran towards them and they were frightened. + +"Help, help!" Lily cried. "The dog is scary!" + +Ben held Lily's hand and said, "Don't worry, Lily. I will protect you. Maybe the dog is friendly. Maybe he wants to play." + +But the dog did not want to play. He jumped on Ben and knocked him down. He bit Ben's arm and made him bleed. Lily screamed and ran to find help. + +A man came and saw the dog and Ben. He shouted at the dog and made him go away. He picked up Ben and took him to his car. He drove to the hospital and called Ben's mom. + +Lily followed the man and Ben. She was sad and sorry. She wanted to help Ben. She waited in the hospital until Ben's mom came.

She took her princess doll everywhere, even to bed. + +One day, she went to the park with her mom and saw a boy playing with a blue prince doll. The boy was alone and looked sad.

He's very brave and kind." + +Anna nodded. "He's very nice. This is my princess doll. She's very pretty and smart." + +Leo nodded. "She's very nice too. Do you want to play with me?" + +Anna smiled.

He likes to ride horses and fight dragons." + +Anna gave him her princess doll. "And you can have my princess doll. She likes to sing and dance and wear dresses." + +They swapped their dolls and started to play. They made their dolls talk and laugh and go on adventures.

They had found a new friend who liked to play with dolls. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park with their ball. They saw a big truck with a picture of ice cream on it. They ran to the truck and asked for ice cream. + +"Sorry, kids, I'm out of ice cream," the truck man said. "But I have something else in my cooler. Do you want to see?" + +Tom and Lily nodded. They were curious. The truck man opened his cooler and took out a big box. It was wrapped in shiny paper and had a bow on it. It looked mysterious. + +"What is it?" Tom asked. + +"It's a surprise," the truck man said. "I offer it to you, if you promise to share it with your friends. Do you want it?" + +Tom and Lily looked at each other. They liked surprises. They liked sharing. They nodded again. + +"OK, then, here you go," the truck man said. He gave them the box and smiled. "But don't open it until you get home. It's more fun that way." + +Tom and Lily thanked the truck man and ran back to the park with the box. They wondered what was inside. They wanted to open it, but they remembered the truck man's words. They decided to wait. + +When they got home, they showed the box to their mom. She was surprised, too. She helped them open it. Inside, they found a lot of toys and books and candy.

They always want to win and be the best. + +One day, they play hide and seek in the park. Tim is the seeker and Sam is the hider. Tim counts to ten and then looks for Sam. He sees a big bush and thinks Sam is hiding there. He runs to the bush and says, "I found you!" + +But Sam is not there. It is a cat. The cat is scared and scratches Tim's face.

I trust you." + +Sam smiles and says, "Thank you, Tim. You are a good brother too. I trust you." + +They hug and say, "Let's play another game. But this time, let's not be so competitive. Let's have fun and be quiet, so we don't scare the cat again." +Tom and Anna like to play with their toys. They have many toys, but their favorite is a big truck. The truck is orange and has a loud horn. Tom and Anna pretend that the truck is a hero that helps people. + +One day, they see a big hole in the garden. The hole is deep and dark. Tom and Anna wonder what is in the hole. They think it might be a secret cave or a treasure chest. They want to explore the hole, but they are afraid. + +They have an idea. They decide to use their truck to fill the hole. They find some dirt, rocks, and leaves. They put them in the truck and drive to the hole. They dump the truck and make a big pile. They do this many times until the hole is full. + +They are happy and proud. They think they have done a good job. They hug their truck and say, "Thank you, truck. You are a hero. You filled the hole and made the garden safe." + +They hear a voice from behind the pile. It is their dad. He is not happy. He says, "What have you done? You filled the hole that I dug for the new tree. Now I have to dig it again. You are not heroes. You are troublemakers." + +Tom and Anna are surprised and sorry. They did not know that their dad was digging a hole for a tree. They say, "We are sorry, dad. We did not mean to make trouble. We thought the hole was empty and scary. We wanted to fill it with our truck." + +Their dad sighs and smiles. He says, "I understand. You were playing and using your imagination. But next time, please ask me before you fill a hole. Maybe we can find another way to use your truck as a hero." + +Tom and Anna nod and hug their dad. They say, "We love you, dad. And we love our truck. Can we help you plant the new tree?" + +Their dad says, "Of course. Let's go get the tree and the shovel. And maybe we can find a better place for your truck to be a hero." +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play in their room. They had many toys and books, but their favorite thing was to jump on the bed. They liked to bounce high and make funny noises. But their mom always told them to be careful and not to jump too much, or they could fall and hurt themselves. + +One day, when mom was busy in the kitchen, Lily and Ben decided to jump on the bed again. They took their pillows and threw them at each other, laughing and shouting. They did not hear mom calling them to come for lunch. They were having too much fun. + +But then, something bad happened. Lily threw her pillow at Ben, but he did not catch it. The pillow hit the lamp on the nightstand and knocked it over. The lamp fell on the floor and broke. The glass shattered and made a loud noise. Lily and Ben stopped jumping and looked at the mess. They were scared and sorry. + +Mom heard the noise and ran to their room. She saw the broken lamp and the glass on the floor. She was angry and sad. She asked Lily and Ben what they had done. They told her the truth and said they were sorry. Mom said they had to clean up the mess and go to their timeout chairs. She said they could not jump on the bed anymore, or play with their pillows. She said they had to learn to listen and be careful. + +Lily and Ben felt bad. They helped mom clean up the mess and went to their timeout chairs. They did not like to sit there and be quiet. They wished they had listened to mom and stopped jumping on the bed. They learned their lesson. + +Mom came back after a while and gave them each a hug and a kiss. She said she loved them and forgave them. She said they could come for lunch now, but they had to eat their vegetables first. She said they were good for them and would make them strong and healthy. + +Lily and Ben did not like vegetables. They thought they were sour and yucky. But they did not want to make mom angry or sad again. They decided to eat their vegetables and be good. They hoped mom would let them play with their pillows again someday. They learned their lesson. +Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and laugh. They saw a hose on the grass. Tom had an idea. + +"Let's play with the hose!" he said. "We can make water come out and spray each other!" + +Lily nodded. She thought it would be fun. They ran to the hose and picked it up. Tom turned the tap and water came out. He pointed the hose at Lily and made her wet. Lily squealed and ran away. She grabbed the hose from Tom and sprayed him back. They giggled and chased each other with the hose. + +But then they heard a loud roar. They turned and saw a big dog. It had sharp teeth and angry eyes. It was barking and running towards them. It wanted the hose. Tom and Lily were scared. They dropped the hose and ran to the house. The dog picked up the hose and shook it. Water went everywhere. + +"Help! Help!" Tom and Lily shouted. "There is a scary dog in the garden!" + +Mum heard them and came out. She saw the dog and the hose. She was not happy. + +"Who left the hose on?" she asked. "You are wasting water and making a mess!" + +Tom and Lily looked at each other. They did not know what to say. They sighed. + +"Sorry, Mum," they said. "We were playing with the hose and then the dog came and took it." + +Mum looked at the dog. It was still playing with the hose. It looked happy. + +"That is not our dog," she said. "It must have escaped from somewhere. Let's go inside and call the owner. Maybe they are looking for it." + +Tom and Lily nodded. They followed Mum inside. They hoped the owner would come soon and take the dog away. They did not want to play with the hose anymore. It was too scary. +Tom and Lily were playing with blocks. They liked to build towers and houses with the blocks. Tom had a big tower of red blocks. Lily had a small house of blue blocks. + +"Look at my tower!" Tom said. "It is so tall and strong. Your house is weak and small." + +Lily felt sad. She did not like Tom's words. She wanted to have a big tower too. She looked at Tom's tower. She had an idea. + +She crawled to Tom's tower. She put her thumb on one of the blocks. She pushed hard. The block moved. The tower wobbled. + +"Hey, stop!" Tom shouted. "You are ruining my tower!" + +But Lily did not stop. She pushed another block. And another. The tower fell down. The blocks made a loud noise. + +Tom was angry. He cried. He ran to Lily's house. He pushed it too. Lily's house fell down. Lily cried too. + +They both looked at the mess. They both felt bad. They did not want to play with blocks anymore. They wanted to play with each other. + +They said sorry to each other. They hugged. They picked up the blocks. They decided to build something together. They used red and blue blocks. They made a big castle. They were happy. They played with the castle. They shared the blocks. They were friends. +Sam and Lily liked to play in the old house. The old house had many rooms and things to see. Some things were ancient, like the big clock and the dusty books. Sam and Lily liked to touch them and pretend they were in another time. + +One day, they found a closet full of clothes. The clothes were ancient too, like the ones they saw in pictures. There were dresses and hats and coats and shoes. Sam and Lily wanted to try them on. They took off their own clothes and put on the ancient clothes. They looked funny and laughed. + +They heard a noise. It was the old man who lived in the old house. He was angry. He did not like children in his house. He did not like them touching his things. He shouted at them and chased them. Sam and Lily were scared. They ran to the closet to get their clothes. But they could not find them. The old man had taken them. He said they were his clothes now. He said they had to repeat what he said. He said they had to stay in the old house forever. + +Sam and Lily cried. They did not want to stay in the old house. They did not want to wear the ancient clothes. They did not want to repeat what the old man said. They wanted to go home. They wanted their own clothes. They wanted their mom and dad.

But they also wished they had more things, like a big yard, a swing, and a bike. Sometimes they heard their mom and dad talk about money and bills and how hard it was to pay for everything. + +One day, they saw a shiny coin on the street. They picked it up and ran home to show their mom and dad. "Look, look, we found a coin!" they said. "Maybe we are rich now!" + +Their mom and dad smiled and hugged them. "That's very nice, but it's only one coin. It's not enough to buy anything," their dad said. "But you can keep it as a lucky charm. Maybe it will bring you good things." + +That night, Lily and Ben put the coin under their pillow and went to bed. They hoped that the coin would make their dreams come true. They hoped they would wake up and see a big yard, a swing, and a bike outside their window. They hoped they would be happy and have everything they wanted. + +But when they woke up, nothing had changed. The coin was still under their pillow, and their house was still small and old. They felt sad and disappointed. They wondered why the coin didn't work. + +Then they heard their mom and dad call them from the kitchen. "Come on, kids, we have a surprise for you!" they said. Lily and Ben got out of bed and ran to the kitchen. There they saw a big cake with candles and a card that said "Happy Birthday, Lily and Ben!" + +They gasped and smiled. They had forgotten that it was their birthday. Their mom and dad hugged them and said, "We love you so much. You are the best gift we ever had. We may not have a lot of money, but we have each other. And that's what makes us rich." + +Lily and Ben felt happy and grateful. They realized that they didn't need a coin to make their dreams come true. They had a family that loved them and cared for them. They had a home that was cozy and warm. They had a cake that was yummy and sweet.

They wished that they would always remember how rich they were. +Tim and Sam are friends. They like to play with cars and trucks. One day, they go to the park with their moms. They see a big table with many toys. A man says, "This is a trade table. You can give me one toy and get another toy. Do you want to try?" + +Tim and Sam think this is fun.

He says to Sam, "Sam, can we trade again? I want my green car and your yellow digger. Please?" + +Sam likes his yellow digger. He does not want to give it to Tim. He says, "No, Tim. This is my digger. You have your car. We traded fair." + +Tim gets angry. He tries to grab the digger from Sam. Sam holds it tight. They start to fight. They pull and push and shout. + +Their moms see them fighting. They are not happy. They go to them and stop them. They say, "Tim, Sam, what are you doing? Why are you fighting over toys? You should be kind and share. You can play with both toys. Or you can trade back. But you have to ask nicely and agree. Do you understand?" + +Tim and Sam feel sorry. They say, "Yes, mom.

She knows they are intelligent and curious. But they also need to learn to respect other people's things. + +"Lisa and Ben, I know you like to explore and have fun. But you cannot take my jewelry without asking. It is not yours. It is mine. And some of it is very special and old. You could lose it or damage it. Do you understand?" Mom says. + +Lisa and Ben nod. They understand. They feel sorry for making Mom angry. + +"Mom, we are sorry. We will not do it again. Can you forgive us?" Lisa says. + +"Mom, we love you. Can we still play in our room?"

They imagine they are the prince and the princess. They forget about the jewelry. They have fun. +Sara and Ben love to play on the beach. They make sand castles and dig holes and look for shells. They also like to splash in the water, but not too deep. They know the water can be tough and pull them away. + +One day, they see a big boat on the water. It has a sail and a flag and looks very pretty. Sara and Ben want to go on the boat and see what is inside. They ask their mom if they can go, but she says no. She says the boat is too far and too big and they are too small. She says they have to stay on the shore and be safe. + +Sara and Ben sigh. They are sad and angry. They think their mom is not fair. They want to have fun and see new things. They do not want to play on the beach anymore. They sit on the sand and pout. + +But then, they notice something. The water is getting lower and lower. The boat is getting smaller and smaller. The tide is going out and the boat is stuck on the sand. Sara and Ben see people on the boat. They look worried and confused. They try to push the boat and make it move, but it does not. + +Sara and Ben feel sorry for the people on the boat. They realize that the boat is not so fun and pretty anymore.

They forget about the boat and the tide. +Lily was a squirrel who loved to find nuts. She liked to run and jump on the trees and look for the best nuts to eat. She had a big hole in a tree where she kept her nuts for winter. + +One day, she saw a very big nut on the ground. It was brown and shiny and looked very yummy. Lily ran to the nut and picked it up with her teeth. She was very happy and wanted to take it to her hole. + +But the nut was very heavy and hard to carry.

He barked and ran after her. + +Lily was scared and tried to run faster. But the nut was too heavy and she could not go fast enough. The dog was getting closer and closer. Lily did not know what to do. + +Then she had an idea. She saw a small hole in a rock. She ran to the hole and threw the nut inside. The nut was too big for the dog to get. The dog tried to bite the nut but he could not. He growled and pawed at the hole but he could not reach the nut. + +Lily was safe in the hole. She waited until the dog gave up and went away. Then she came out of the hole and looked at the nut. She was sad that she could not take it to her hole. But she was glad that she was not hurt by the dog. + +She decided to leave the nut in the hole. Maybe another squirrel would find it and enjoy it. She hoped that the other squirrel would be careful and not become chased by a dog. She thought that the nut was too big and heavy for a delicate squirrel like her. She decided to look for smaller and lighter nuts that she could carry easily. She ran back to the trees and started to look for new nuts. She was happy and hungry. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to eat blueberries. One day, their mom gave them each a bowl of blueberries and told them to share.

Lily said. + +They started to pull and tug at each other's bowls, and soon the blueberries spilled on the floor. The blueberries rolled away and some of them went under the sofa. Lily and Ben tried to get them back, but they could not reach them. They had lost their blueberries. + +Mom came back and saw the mess. She was not happy.

But because you were greedy, you lost them all." + +Lily and Ben felt sorry. They said, "We are sorry, Mom. We were wrong. We should have shared our blueberries. Can we have some more, please?" + +Mom said, "No, you cannot have more blueberries today. You have to learn your lesson. Maybe tomorrow, if you are good and share, you can have some more. Now go and clean up the floor. And look, there is a brown ant carrying a blueberry. He is smarter than you. He knows how to share with his friends." +Anna and Ben are twins.

They think opera is a bad game. They say they are sorry to mom. Mom says she loves them, but they have to learn to respect other people's feelings.

You did not let it be. You should be kind to animals. They have feelings too." + +Tom feels bad. He says, "You're right, Mia. I was wrong. I should have listened to you. I'm sorry, crab. I hope you are happy in the water." Mia says, "That's good, Tom. I'm proud of you. You learned a lesson. Next time, we can watch the crabs from far away. They are cool, but they need their space." Tom and Mia smile and hold hands. They go back to play on the beach. +Ben and Sam were brothers who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big box under a tree. They ran to the box and opened it. Inside, they found many toys and books and clothes. They were very happy and started to take what they wanted. + +But they did not see a sign on the box that said: "These are donations for the poor children. Please do not touch." They were ignorant and did not know what donations or poor meant. They thought the box was a gift for them. + +A lady came to the park and saw the boys with the box. She was angry and said: "What are you doing? These are not your things. You are stealing from the poor children. How can you be so selfish and greedy?" + +The boys were scared and dropped the things. They tried to run away, but the lady caught them. She looked at their faces and saw that they were dirty and hungry. She felt sorry for them and said: "Are you poor too? Do you have a home and a family?" + +The boys nodded and said: "Yes, we have a home and a family, but they are far away. We came here to search for a better life, but we have no money and no friends. We are sorry for taking the things. We did not know they were for the poor children. We thought they were for us." + +The lady understood and said: "I see. You are not bad, just ignorant. You need to learn more about the world and how to help others. Come with me, I will take you to a place where you can get some food and clothes and education. Maybe you can also make some friends there." + +The boys agreed and followed the lady. They learned that the box was part of a charity project that helped poor children in different countries. They felt ashamed and sorry for what they did. They also learned how to read and write and share and care. They made some friends who were also poor but kind. They realized that they were lucky to have a home and a family, and that they should be grateful and generous. They decided to give back some of the things they took and to help the charity project in any way they could. They became happier and smarter and better. They thanked the lady for teaching them and helping them. They never forgot the lesson they learned from the box. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play in their room. They had many toys and books and clothes to have fun with. Sometimes they would dress up as pirates or princesses or animals. They liked to make up stories and act them out. + +One day, they saw a big box in the hall. It was brown and had a label that said "Do not open". Tom and Lily were very nosy and wanted to know what was inside. They thought it might be a present for them or a new toy. They decided to sneak out of their room and raise the lid of the box. + +They were very surprised when they saw what was in the box. It was not a present or a toy. It was a lot of old clothes that their mom was going to give away. There were sweaters and pants and hats and scarves and shoes. They were all different colors and sizes and shapes. Tom and Lily thought they looked funny and silly. + +They started to take out the clothes and try them on. They laughed and giggled as they put on the clothes that were too big or too small or too ugly for them. They made a big mess in the hall. They did not hear their mom coming home from the store. + +Their mom was very angry when she saw what they had done. She shouted at them and asked them why they had opened the box. She told them that they were very naughty and rude. She said that they had ruined the clothes that she was going to give to other children who needed them. She said that they had to clean up the mess and put the clothes back in the box. She said that they had to go to their room and stay there until dinner. She said that they would not get any dessert or any story tonight. + +Tom and Lily felt very sad and sorry. They wished they had not been so nosy and had listened to their mom. They cried and hugged each other as they went to their room. They learned their lesson and never opened a box that said "Do not open" again. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play outside in summer. They had a big yard with a swing, a slide and a sandbox. They also had a dog named Spot who was friendly and harmless. + +One day, they saw a big yellow butterfly in the yard. They wanted to catch it and look at it. They ran after it, but it was too fast and flew away. They tried again and again, but they could not manage to catch it. + +"Let's ask Mom for a net," Ben said. "Maybe we can catch it with a net." + +"Okay," Lily agreed. "But we have to be gentle. We don't want to hurt the butterfly." + +They went inside and asked Mom for a net. Mom gave them a small net that she used for fishing. She told them to be careful and not to harm the butterfly. + +They went back outside and looked for the butterfly. They saw it on a flower near the fence. They crept closer and closer, holding the net. They waited for the right moment and then swung the net. + +They caught the butterfly! They were very happy and excited. They looked at the butterfly in the net. It was very pretty and had spots on its wings. + +"Wow, it's so beautiful," Lily said. + +"Can we keep it?" Ben asked. + +"No, we can't," Mom said, who came outside to see what they were doing. "Butterflies need to be free. They need to fly and find food and friends. If we keep it, it will be sad and sick." + +"Oh," Lily and Ben said. They felt sorry for the butterfly. + +"Can we look at it for a little while?" Lily asked. + +"Yes, you can," Mom said. "But then you have to let it go." + +Lily and Ben nodded. They looked at the butterfly for a little while and then opened the net. The butterfly flew out and fluttered away. They waved goodbye to it and thanked it for letting them see it. + +They learned that butterflies are harmless and beautiful, but they also need to be free. They decided to look for more butterflies in the summer, but not to catch them. They were happy to watch them fly and play. +Tom and Mia are playing in the garden. They have a big pot and some seeds. They want to grow flowers in the pot. + +"Let's scatter the seeds in the pot," says Tom. He takes a handful of seeds and throws them in the pot. + +"No, no, no!" says Mia. "That's too many seeds. They need space to grow. You are wasting the seeds." + +She grabs the pot and tries to shake out some of the seeds. But Tom holds on to the pot too. They pull and tug at the pot. + +"Let go of the pot!" says Tom. + +"Give me the pot!" says Mia. + +The pot is heavy and slippery. They lose their balance and fall to the ground. The pot falls too and breaks into pieces. The seeds fly everywhere. + +Tom and Mia are dizzy and sad. They look at the broken pot and the scattered seeds. + +"I'm sorry, Tom," says Mia. "I didn't mean to break the pot." + +"I'm sorry, Mia," says Tom. "I didn't mean to throw so many seeds." + +They hug and say sorry to each other. They pick up the pieces of the pot and the seeds. They find another pot and put some soil and water in it. They scatter a few seeds in the pot and hope they will grow into flowers. They smile and play together again. +Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a lady with a shiny thing on her neck. It was a necklace with many small stones that sparkled in the sun. + +"Wow, look at that!" Lily said. "She must be very rich to have such a pretty thing." + +"I want to have one too," Tom said. "Maybe we can ask her to give it to us." + +They ran to the lady and said hello. The lady smiled and said hello back. + +"Can we have your necklace?" Tom asked. "It is so nice and we like it a lot." + +The lady was surprised and said no. She said it was a gift from her husband and she loved it very much. She said they could not have it. + +Lily and Tom felt sad and angry. They wanted the necklace so badly. They had an idea. They waited until the lady was not looking and then they grabbed the necklace and tried to pull it off her neck. + +"Hey, stop that!" the lady shouted. "You are hurting me! Let go of my necklace!" + +She tried to hang on to her necklace, but Lily and Tom were too strong. They pulled harder and harder until the necklace broke. The small stones fell to the ground and scattered everywhere. + +Lily and Tom ran away with the broken necklace, but they did not feel happy. They felt guilty and ashamed. They realized they had done a bad thing. They had hurt the lady and ruined her gift. They wished they could say sorry and give it back, but it was too late. They learned a lesson that day. They learned that being rich is not about having shiny things, but about being kind and respectful. +Tom and Jen are friends. They like to play with stamps. They have many stamps with animals and flowers and cars. They stick the stamps on paper and make pictures. + +One day, Jen has a new stamp. It is a big stamp with a dragon. The dragon is red and green and has fire in its mouth. Jen likes the dragon stamp very much. She does not want to share it with Tom. + +"Can I see your dragon stamp?" Tom asks Jen. + +"No, it is mine. You can't have it," Jen says. She holds the dragon stamp in her hand. + +Tom is sad. He wants to see the dragon stamp too. He thinks Jen is bad. He waits for Jen to look away. Then he tries to catch the dragon stamp from her hand. + +But Jen is fast. She sees Tom and pulls her hand away. The dragon stamp flies out of her hand and lands on the floor. Jen and Tom both run to get it. + +But they are not careful. They do not see the cat. The cat is sleeping on the floor. The cat does not like to be disturbed. The cat sees the dragon stamp and thinks it is a toy. The cat jumps on the dragon stamp and bites it. + +"Meow!" the cat says. The cat runs away with the dragon stamp in its mouth. + +"Hey, that's my stamp!" Jen cries. + +"Too bad, you should have shared it," Tom says. + +Jen and Tom are both angry. They do not play with stamps anymore. They do not play with each other anymore. They learn a lesson. They learn that being bad and greedy can make you lose your things and your friends. +Ben and Mia love to play baseball with their dad. They have a big yard with a fence and a tree. Dad throws the ball and Ben hits it with the bat. Mia runs to catch the ball and throws it back. They take turns hitting and catching. + +One day, a new family moves in next door. They have a boy named Leo. He is the same age as Ben and Mia. He comes over and asks if he can play with them. Dad says yes and gives him a glove and a hat. Leo says he likes baseball too. + +They play for a while and have fun. Leo is good at hitting and catching. He hits the ball very hard and far. Ben and Mia cheer for him. But then, he hits the ball too hard and it flies over the fence. It lands in the neighbor's window and breaks it. They hear a loud crash and a scream. + +"Oh no!" Leo says. "I broke the window! It was fragile!" + +They run to the fence and see the neighbor. She is angry and scared. She holds a broken vase in her hand. The vase was on the window sill and fell when the ball hit it. It was her favorite vase and it was very old and pretty. + +"Who did this?" she asks. "Who broke my window and my vase?" + +Leo feels bad and scared. He raises his hand and says, "I did. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to. I was playing baseball with Ben and Mia and I hit the ball too hard." + +The neighbor looks at Leo and sees that he is sorry. She sighs and says, "Well, thank you for telling the truth. That was brave of you. But you have to be more careful. My window and my vase were fragile. They can't be fixed. You have to pay for them." + +Leo nods and says, "I understand. I will pay for them. How much do they cost?" + +The neighbor thinks and says, "They cost fifty dollars. That's a lot of money for a boy like you. How will you pay for them?" + +Leo thinks and says, "I will do chores for you. I can mow your lawn, rake your leaves, wash your car, or anything you need. I will work hard until I pay for them." + +The neighbor smiles and says, "That's very nice of you. I appreciate that. You are a good boy. Come on, let's go inside and talk more. Maybe I can give you some cookies and milk." + +Leo follows the neighbor inside. He feels better and hopes she will forgive him. Ben and Mia follow him too. They feel sorry for him and want to help him. Dad follows them too. He is proud of Leo for being honest and responsible. He applauds him and says, "Good job, Leo. You did the right thing." +Anna and Ben were playing in the woods. They liked to pretend they were animals and make noises. Anna was a bird and Ben was a bear. They flew and ran and had fun. + +But then they heard a loud bang. It was a hunter with a big gun. He was looking for animals to shoot. He saw Anna and Ben and aimed at them. + +"Run, Ben, run!" Anna shouted. "He is bad. He wants to hurt us." + +Ben was scared. He ran as fast as he could, but the hunter was faster. He caught up with Ben and grabbed him by the fur. Ben felt a hard pain in his back. He cried out loud. + +"Let him go, let him go!" Anna screamed. She flew down and pecked the hunter's face. The hunter was angry. He dropped Ben and tried to swat Anna. But Anna was quick. She dodged his hand and flew back to Ben. + +"Are you okay, Ben?" Anna asked. She hugged him gently. "I am sorry. I should have protected you better." + +Ben hugged her back. "You did, Anna. You did. You are brave and kind. You are my best friend." + +The hunter was still mad. He picked up his gun and pointed it at them again. But then he heard a loud roar. It was a real bear. It was Ben's mom. She had heard Ben's cry and came to help. She charged at the hunter and knocked him down. The hunter was terrified. He dropped his gun and ran away. + +"Mom, mom!" Ben shouted. He ran to his mom and hugged her. "You saved us. You are the best mom ever." + +Anna flew to Ben's mom and thanked her. "You are amazing. Thank you for saving us." + +Ben's mom smiled and licked them both. "You are welcome. You are both my cubs. Now let's go home. It is not safe here." + +Anna and Ben nodded. They followed Ben's mom to their den. They were happy and safe. They hugged each other and fell asleep. +Sara and Ben are playing with blocks. Sara wants to make a big tower, but Ben wants to knock it down. Sara feels angry and says, "Stop it, Ben! I want to build, not break!" Ben feels bored and says, "No, it's fun to break! Watch this!" He pushes Sara's tower and it falls down. Sara feels sad and cries. + +Mom hears Sara crying and comes to see what is wrong. She sees the blocks on the floor and Sara's tears. She asks, "What happened, Sara?" Sara points at Ben and says, "He broke my tower! He is mean!" Mom looks at Ben and says, "Ben, why did you break Sara's tower? That was not nice. How do you think Sara feels?" Ben shrugs and says, "I don't know. I just wanted to play." + +Mom says, "Sara feels sad and angry because you broke her tower. She worked hard to build it and you ruined it. How would you feel if someone did that to you?" Ben thinks for a moment and says, "I would feel bad. I would feel hurt." Mom says, "That's right. You hurt Sara's feelings and her body. You need to say sorry to Sara and help her build a new tower." Ben looks at Sara and says, "I'm sorry, Sara. I was wrong to break your tower. Can I help you build a new one?" Sara wipes her tears and says, "Okay, Ben. But you have to be gentle and careful. And you have to share the blocks." Ben nods and says, "Okay, Sara. I will be gentle and careful. And I will share the blocks." Mom smiles and says, "That's good, Ben. And that's good, Sara. I'm proud of you both. Now, let's see how high you can build your tower together." Sara and Ben hug Mom and say, "Thank you, Mom. We love you." Mom hugs them back and says, "I love you too. Now, have fun and play nice." Sara and Ben start to build their tower and feel happy. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big drum near a tree. It was red and shiny and had a stick. + +"Let's play with the drum!" Tom said. He ran to the drum and picked up the stick. + +"No, Tom, don't!" Lily said. She followed him and tried to stop him. "The drum is not ours. It belongs to someone else. Maybe they will be angry if we touch it." + +Tom did not listen. He hit the drum with the stick. BANG! The drum made a loud noise. Tom and Lily were frightened. They dropped the stick and the drum and ran away. + +They did not see the man who was sleeping under the tree. He woke up when he heard the noise. He was very angry. He saw his drum and his stick on the ground. He saw Tom and Lily running away. + +"Hey, you kids! Come back here!" he shouted. He got up and chased them. He wanted to catch them and scold them. + +Tom and Lily ran as fast as they could. They wanted to prevent the man from catching them. They ran to their mom, who was sitting on a bench. They hugged her and told her what happened. + +Mom was not happy. She told Tom and Lily that they should not play with things that are not theirs. She said they should say sorry to the man and his drum. She took them to the man and made them apologize. + +The man was still angry, but he accepted their apology. He told them that his drum was very special to him. He said he played it for fun and for money. He said they should not hit it so hard or they might break it. + +Tom and Lily felt sorry. They said they did not mean to hurt the drum or the man. They said they were just curious and wanted to try it. They asked the man if he could show them how to play the drum. + +The man smiled. He said he could teach them a little bit. He picked up his drum and his stick. He sat down on the ground and invited Tom and Lily to join him. He showed them how to hold the stick and how to tap the drum gently. He made different sounds and rhythms. He sang a song. + +Tom and Lily listened and watched. They tried to copy him. They learned how to play the drum. They had fun. They were not frightened anymore. They thanked the man and his drum. They said goodbye and went back to their mom. + +Mom was glad. She said they did the right thing. She said they learned something new and made a friend. She said they should always be careful and respectful with other people's things. She said they should always say sorry when they make a mistake. She said she was proud of them. + +Tom and Lily smiled. They hugged their mom. They said they loved her and the drum and the man. They said they wanted to play with the drum again someday. They said they learned a lot today. They were happy. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys and books. One day, they find a big box in the living room. It has a red bow on it. + +"Look, Ben, a present!" Anna says. + +"Who is it for?" Ben asks. + +They look at the tag. It says: "To Anna and Ben, from Grandma and Grandpa. Happy birthday!" + +"It's our birthday!" Anna and Ben say together. They are very happy. + +They open the box. Inside, they find a beautiful book. It has many pictures and words. It is a story book. + +"Wow, a story book!" Anna says. + +"Let's read it!" Ben says. + +They sit on the couch and open the book. They see a story about a princess and a dragon. They take turns reading the words and looking at the pictures. + +The princess is brave and kind. The dragon is big and scary. But they become friends and have fun. + +Anna and Ben like the story. They laugh and smile. + +"Thank you, Grandma and Grandpa, for the beautiful book!" they say. + +They wrap their arms around each other and hug. They are very happy. They love their present and their story. +One day, Lily and Ben went to the park with their mom. They saw a big tree with red berries on it. Lily and Ben liked berries, so they ran to the tree and picked some. + +"Look, mom, we have berries!" Lily said, holding up her hand. + +"Be careful, sweeties, some berries are not good to eat. They can make you sick or dead," mom said, walking over to them. + +"How do we know which berries are good?" Ben asked, looking at his hand. + +"Mom knows. She can serve us good berries at home. Let's go back and wash our hands first," mom said, taking their hands and leading them away from the tree. + +On the way home, they saw a bird lying on the ground. It was not moving or making any sound. + +"Mom, look, a bird!" Lily said, pointing at it. + +"Is it dead, mom?" Ben asked, looking sad. + +"Yes, sweetie, it is dead. Maybe it ate some bad berries from the tree. That's why we don't eat berries we don't know," mom said, hugging them. + +"Can we help the bird, mom?" Lily asked, wiping her eyes. + +"We can't help the bird, but we can say a prayer for it and bury it in the dirt. Then we can go home and have some good berries that mom will serve us," mom said, smiling. + +Lily and Ben nodded and helped mom dig a hole for the bird. They said a prayer and covered it with dirt. Then they went home and had some good berries that mom served them. They were happy and thankful for the good berries and the good mom. +Lily and Tom were very happy to go to the farm with Mom and Dad. They packed their bags with clothes, toys and snacks. They got in the car and drove for a long time. Lily and Tom sang songs and played games in the back seat. + +"Are we there yet?" Lily asked. + +"Soon, sweetie," Mom said. "We just need to stop for some gas." + +They stopped at a gas station. Dad got out of the car and went to the pump. Mom got out too and went to the store. Lily and Tom stayed in the car and looked out the window. + +They saw a big truck next to them. It had a sign that said "Danger: Flammable Gas". Lily and Tom did not know what that meant. They thought it was a funny word. + +"Gas, gas, gas," they chanted. "We like gas, gas, gas." + +They saw a man get out of the truck. He had a hose in his hand. He walked to the back of the truck and opened a valve. He was going to fill a big tank with gas. + +But something went wrong. The hose was broken. Gas started to leak out of the hose and the truck. It made a hissing sound. It smelled bad. It filled the air with smoke. + +Lily and Tom felt dizzy. They coughed and sneezed. They wanted to get out of the car, but the doors were locked. They were scared. + +"Mom! Dad!" they cried. "Help us!" + +Mom and Dad heard them. They ran back to the car. They saw the gas and the smoke. They were scared too. + +Dad grabbed the keys from his pocket. He unlocked the car and opened the doors. He lifted Lily and Tom out of the car. He carried them away from the gas and the smoke. + +Mom followed them. She called 911 on her phone. She told them there was a gas leak and they needed help. + +They ran to a safe place. They hugged each other. They were glad they were okay. + +They waited for the firemen and the police to come. They put out the fire and fixed the leak. They checked on Lily and Tom and gave them some water and candy. + +They told Mom and Dad they were brave and lucky. They said they should unpack their bags and stay at a hotel for the night. They said they could go to the farm tomorrow. + +Lily and Tom nodded. They were tired and sore. They wanted to rest and sleep. + +They thanked the firemen and the police. They got in the car and drove to the hotel. They unpacked their bags and got ready for bed. + +They said good night to Mom and Dad. They said they loved them. + +They closed their eyes and dreamed of the farm. They hoped it would be fun and safe. They hoped there would be no more gas. +Tom and Jen are friends. They like to play and share. One day, they see a big cake on the table. It smells good and looks yummy. + +"Can we have some cake?" Tom asks. + +"Mom said we have to wait. She will cut the cake after lunch." Jen says. + +But Tom is hungry and curious. He wants to taste the cake now. He sneaks to the table and takes a big bite. The cake is sweet and soft. He likes it. + +"Tom, what are you doing?" Jen sees him and is angry. "You are not supposed to eat the cake. You are being bad." + +Tom feels sorry. He knows he did wrong. He says, "I'm sorry, Jen. I just wanted to try the cake. It was so good." + +Jen is still mad. She says, "You are selfish, Tom. You did not think about me or Mom. You did not wait. Now the cake is ruined. Mom will be sad." + +Tom looks at the cake. He sees a big hole in it. He feels bad. He says, "You are right, Jen. I was selfish. I did not wait. I did not fit. I want to make Mom happy. What can I do?" + +Jen thinks for a moment. She says, "Maybe we can fix the cake. We can use some frosting and sprinkles. We can make it look nice again. Then we can say sorry to Mom and share the cake with her." + +Tom likes the idea. He says, "Yes, let's do that. Thank you, Jen. You are a good friend. You are kind and smart." + +Jen smiles. She says, "You are welcome, Tom. You are a good friend too. You are brave and honest. Next time, let's wait and fit." + +They work together and fix the cake. They make it look pretty and yummy. They wait for Mom and say sorry to her. Mom is happy and proud. She hugs them and says, "I love you, Tom and Jen. You are good kids. You learned a lesson today. Waiting and fitting are important. They show respect and love. And they make the cake taste better." +Tom and Lily wanted to play with their toys, but their room was very messy. They had cars, dolls, books, blocks and balls all over the floor. Mom said they had to organize their toys before they could go outside. + +"Let's put the cars in this box, and the dolls in that one," Tom said. He picked up a red car and put it in the blue box. + +"No, Tom, that's not right," Lily said. She took the car out of the box and tapped it with her finger. "This is a car, not a doll. Cars go in the green box." + +"But I like the blue box better," Tom said. He tried to take the car back from Lily, but she held it tight. + +"Stop it, Tom, you're being difficult," Lily said. She pushed Tom away and ran to the green box with the car. + +Tom was angry. He grabbed a ball and threw it at Lily. The ball hit her on the head and made her cry. + +"Ow, Tom, that hurt!" Lily said. She dropped the car and rubbed her head. + +Mom heard the noise and came into the room. She saw the toys everywhere, and Tom and Lily fighting. + +"What's going on here?" Mom asked. She looked at Tom and Lily with a stern face. "You two are supposed to be organizing your toys, not throwing them at each other. That's not nice." + +Tom and Lily felt sorry. They said sorry to each other and hugged. Then they worked together to organize their toys. They put the cars in the green box, the dolls in the pink box, the books on the shelf, the blocks in the yellow bag and the balls in the basket. They made their room neat and tidy. + +Mom was happy. She praised Tom and Lily for doing a good job. She said they could go outside and play now. + +Tom and Lily smiled. They took their favorite toys and ran outside. They had fun playing with their toys and each other. They learned to organize their toys and to share them nicely. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they find a big pipe in the grass. The pipe is long and round and shiny. + +"Look, a pipe!" Tom says. "Let's play with it!" + +"OK!" Sam says. "What can we do with it?" + +Tom thinks. He sees a box of matches on the ground. He picks it up. + +"I know!" he says. "We can make fire with the matches and put it in the pipe. Then the pipe will make a loud sound. It will be fun!" + +Sam is not sure. He thinks fire is dangerous. + +"Are you sure?" he asks. "Maybe we should not do that. Maybe we will get hurt." + +Tom shakes his head. + +"No, we will not get hurt. It will be safe. Trust me. Come on, help me!" + +Tom and Sam take some matches from the box. They light them and put them in the pipe. The pipe does not make a loud sound. It makes a big boom. The fire comes out of the pipe and burns Tom and Sam. They scream and cry. They are very hurt. + +A man hears them and runs to help them. He calls for help. He is angry and sad. + +"What have you done?" he asks. "This is not a pipe. This is a bomb. You could have killed yourselves and others. Why did you play with matches and a bomb?" + +Tom and Sam do not answer. They are too scared and in pain. They wish they had not played with the matches and the bomb. They wish they had listened to Sam. They have made a big mistake. +Lily did not like haircuts. She liked her long hair. She liked to make braids and bows with her hair. But Mom said she needed a haircut. Mom said her hair was too messy and tangled. + +"Come on, Lily, it's time to go to the salon," Mom said. "You will look so pretty with a new haircut." + +"No, Mom, no!" Lily cried. "I don't want a haircut. I want my hair. Please, Mom, please!" + +Mom sighed. She took Lily by the hand and walked to the car. Lily kicked and screamed. She did not want to go. + +At the salon, Lily saw a lady with purple hair. The lady smiled at Lily. She said, "Hi, I'm Sue. I'm going to give you a haircut. Do you like my purple hair?" + +Lily stopped crying. She looked at Sue's hair. It was bright and shiny. It was purple like her favorite crayon. Lily liked purple. + +"Yes, I like your purple hair," Lily said. "It's very pretty." + +"Thank you, Lily," Sue said. "Do you want to have purple hair, too?" + +Lily thought for a moment. She still liked her long hair. But she also liked purple. She nodded. + +"Yes, I want purple hair," Lily said. + +Mom looked surprised. She said, "Are you sure, Lily? Purple hair is very different. You might not like it later." + +Lily was sure. She said, "I'm sure, Mom. I want purple hair. Please, Mom, please!" + +Mom smiled. She said, "Okay, Lily. If you want purple hair, you can have purple hair. But you still need a haircut. Is that okay?" + +Lily nodded. She said, "Okay, Mom. I need a haircut. But I want purple hair." + +Sue said, "Okay, Lily. Let's go to the chair. I'll give you a haircut and then I'll make your hair purple. You will look so cute with purple hair." + +Lily went to the chair. She was not scared anymore. She was excited. She wanted to see her purple hair. She said, "Thank you, Sue. Thank you, Mom. I love you." + +Mom and Sue said, "We love you, too, Lily." +Lily and Ben were at the park with their mom. They saw a big truck with many colors and pictures on it. It was a candy truck. The truck stopped near the swings and a man came out. He had a big smile and a hat. + +"Hello, kids! Do you want some candy?" he asked. + +Lily and Ben ran to the truck. They saw many kinds of candy in the truck. They saw gummy bears, chocolate bars, jelly beans, and lollipops. They wanted to try them all. + +"Can we have some candy, mom?" they asked. + +"Sure, you can have one candy each. But you have to say please and thank you," mom said. + +Lily and Ben said please and thank you. The man gave them each a lollipop. Lily chose a pink one and Ben chose a blue one. They licked their lollipops and smiled. + +"Thank you, mister!" they said. + +"You're welcome, kids! Enjoy your lollipops!" the man said. + +He got back in the truck and drove away. Lily and Ben waved to him. They waved until they could not see the truck anymore. + +They went back to the swings and played with their lollipops. They swung high and low. They laughed and sang. They had fun. + +But soon, their lollipops were gone. They only had the sticks left. They felt sad. + +"Mom, can we have more candy?" they asked. + +"No, sweeties. You had enough candy for today. Too much candy is not good for you. It can make your teeth hurt and your tummy ache. You can have some fruit or water instead," mom said. + +Lily and Ben did not like that. They wanted more candy. They pouted and whined. + +"Mom, please! Just one more candy!" they begged. + +Mom shook her head. She was firm. + +"No, no, no. No more candy. Come on, let's go home. It's time for dinner," she said. + +She took their hands and walked to the car. She put them in their seats and buckled them up. She gave them each a kiss. + +"I love you, Lily. I love you, Ben. You are my sweet kids. But you don't need more candy. You are sweet enough," she said. + +Lily and Ben looked at mom. They saw her love in her eyes. They felt her love in her kiss. They knew she was right. They did not need more candy. They had mom. + +They smiled and hugged mom. They said sorry and thank you. They said they loved her too. + +Mom started the car and drove home. Lily and Ben looked out the window. They saw the sun setting in the sky. It was a beautiful sight. They saw many colors and pictures in the sky. They saw pink and blue and yellow and purple. They saw clouds and stars and birds and planes. They saw a candy truck. + +They waved to the candy truck. They waved until they could not see the truck anymore. + +They did not want more candy. They had each other. They were happy. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play in the mud. They make mud pies and mud castles. They get very dirty. + +Mom says they need to take a bath. She says they need to use soap. Soap makes them clean and safe. Soap smells good and makes bubbles. + +Mom takes Lily and Ben to the store. She lets them choose their own soap. Lily picks a pink soap with a flower on it. Ben picks a blue soap with a car on it. Mom buys the soap for them. She says they are good kids. + +Lily and Ben are happy. They go home and take a bath. They use their soap. They scrub their hands, their feet, their hair, their face. They make bubbles and splash. They rinse and dry. + +Mom hugs them and says they are clean and safe. She says she loves them. Lily and Ben love Mom. They love their soap. They are happy. +Lila was a princess who loved to swim. She had a big pool in her castle, and she swam there every day. She had many toys and floats to play with, but she did not like to share them with anyone. + +One day, a boy named Sam came to visit the castle. He was a friend of Lila's brother, and he also liked to swim. He asked Lila if he could join her in the pool. Lila said no. She said, "This is my pool, and these are my toys. You can't swim here. Go away!" + +Sam felt sad and angry. He said, "You are very selfish, Lila. You have so much, but you don't want to share. That is not nice. You are not a good princess." + +Lila did not care. She said, "I don't care what you say. I am a princess, and I can do what I want. Now leave me alone!" + +Sam left the pool, but he did not go far. He saw a hose near the garden, and he had an idea. He turned on the hose, and aimed it at the pool. He sprayed water all over Lila and her toys. Lila was shocked and wet. She screamed, "Stop it, Sam! Stop it!" + +Sam said, "Now you know how it feels to be wet and cold. Maybe next time you will be more kind and share your pool and toys with others." + +Lila realized that Sam was right. She felt sorry for being selfish. She said, "I'm sorry, Sam. You are right. I was selfish and mean. Please forgive me. Do you want to swim with me and play with my toys?" + +Sam smiled and said, "Yes, I do. Thank you, Lila. You are a good princess after all." + +They turned off the hose, and went to the pool. They swam and played together, and had a lot of fun. They became good friends, and learned to share and be nice. +Tom and Ben are friends. They like to play baseball in the park. They have a bat, a ball and two gloves. They take turns to hit and catch the ball. + +One day, a new boy comes to the park. His name is Sam. He has a big red hat and a shiny new glove. He asks Tom and Ben if he can play with them. Tom and Ben say yes. They are nice boys. + +But Sam is not nice. He always wants to hit the ball. He does not let Tom and Ben have a turn. He says he is the best at baseball. He laughs when Tom and Ben miss the ball. He makes them feel bad. + +Tom and Ben are sad and angry. They do not like Sam. They are jealous of his hat and glove. They want to play by themselves. They decide to discuss what to do. + +They whisper to each other. They make a plan. They tell Sam they are tired of baseball. They say they want to play something else. They ask Sam if he likes to play tag. Sam says yes. He thinks he is the best at tag too. + +Tom and Ben smile. They say they will be it. They run after Sam. They tag him hard. They make him fall. They say he is out. They leave him alone. They go back to play baseball. They are happy. They do not need Sam. They have each other. +Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play outside and look at the sky. Sometimes they saw birds, clouds and stars. They wondered what it was like to fly in the sky. + +One day, Lily had an idea. She said to Ben, "Let's invite the sky to play with us. Maybe it will come down and show us how to fly." Ben thought that was a good idea. He said, "How do we invite the sky?" + +Lily said, "We can make a big sign and hold it up. We can write 'Sky, please come and play with us'." Ben said, "OK, let's do it." They found some paper, crayons and tape. They wrote the words and drew some pictures. They taped the sign to a stick and ran outside. + +They waved the sign at the sky and shouted, "Sky, please come and play with us. We want to be your friends." They waited and waited, but the sky did not answer. They felt sad and confused. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud noise. They looked up and saw a big plane flying over them. It was shiny and noisy. It made a white trail in the sky. Lily and Ben were scared. They dropped the sign and ran back to the house. They hugged each other and said, "Maybe the sky is too busy to play with us. Maybe it likes the plane better. Maybe we should not invite the sky again." They decided to play with their toys instead. They still liked the sky, but they did not want to bother it. +Anna and Ben were playing with balloons in the garden. They liked to blow them up and let them go. They made funny noises and flew in the air. Anna had a red balloon and Ben had a blue one. + +"Look, Anna, I can make my balloon bigger than yours!" Ben said. He blew and blew until his balloon was very big. Anna tried to do the same, but her balloon popped. She was sad and angry. + +"That's not fair, Ben! You made my balloon break!" Anna said. She picked up the hose and turned it on. She wanted to pour water on Ben and his balloon. She thought that would make him sorry. + +But Ben saw what Anna was doing. He ran away from the hose. He did not want to get wet. He threw his balloon at Anna. It hit her on the head and popped. Water came out of the balloon and made Anna wet and messy. + +"Ha ha, Anna, now you are wet and messy too!" Ben said. He laughed and laughed. Anna did not think it was funny. She was wet and messy and had no balloon. She cried and cried. + +Mama heard Anna and Ben. She came to the garden and saw what happened. She was not happy. She turned off the hose and took Anna and Ben inside. She gave them towels and new balloons. She told them to say sorry to each other and to play nicely. + +"I'm sorry, Anna, I did not mean to make your balloon pop," Ben said. + +"I'm sorry, Ben, I did not mean to pour water on you," Anna said. + +They hugged and made up. They played with their new balloons in the living room. They were careful not to pop them or make a mess. Mama smiled and watched them. She was glad they were friends again. +One day, a man was walking in the rain. He did not have a coat or an umbrella. He was very wet and cold. He felt miserable. + +He saw a house with a light on. He knocked on the door. Maybe someone could help him. + +A woman opened the door. She saw the man and said, "Oh, you are soaked! Come in, come in. I will get you a towel and a hot drink." + +The man thanked the woman and went inside. She gave him a towel and a cup of tea. He dried himself and drank the tea. He felt warmer and happier. + +The woman said, "Why were you walking in the rain? Where are you going?" + +The man said, "I was looking for a job. I lost my job and my home. I have nowhere to go." + +The woman said, "That is very sad. I have a spare room. You can stay here for a while. Maybe you can find a job in the town." + +The man said, "Really? You are very kind. Thank you so much." + +The woman said, "You are welcome. I am glad I could help. Now, let's have some soup and bread. You must be hungry." + +The man smiled. He was not miserable anymore. He had found a friend. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play together in the park. They have a big ball. It is orange and round. It is a basketball. + +One day, they go to the park with their moms. They see a hoop. It is high and metal. They want to throw the ball in the hoop. They take turns. Lily throws the ball. She misses. Ben throws the ball. He misses. They try again and again. + +A boy comes to the park. He has a bike. He sees Lily and Ben. He wants to play with them. He says, "Can I have the ball? I want to throw it in the hoop." + +Lily and Ben look at him. They do not know him. They do not want to share the ball. They say, "No, this is our ball. We are playing with it. Go away." + +The boy is angry. He says, "That is not fair. You have to share. Give me the ball or I will take it from you." + +Lily and Ben are scared. They hold the ball tight. They say, "No, you cannot have the ball. You are mean. Leave us alone." + +The boy tries to grab the ball. He pushes Lily. He pulls Ben. They fall to the ground. They cry. The ball rolls away. + +Their moms hear them. They run to them. They see the boy. They say, "What are you doing? Why are you hurting Lily and Ben? That is not nice. You have to say sorry." + +The boy is stubborn. He refuses to say sorry. He says, "I do not care. I want the ball. It is mine." + +The moms are angry. They say, "No, it is not yours. It is Lily and Ben's. You have to give it back. You have to go home. You are not welcome here." + +The boy is sad. He has no friends. He has no ball. He rides his bike away. + +Lily and Ben hug their moms. They say, "Thank you, mom. You are the best. We love you." + +Their moms hug them back. They say, "You are welcome, sweetie. We love you too. You are very brave. You did the right thing." + +They pick up the ball. They go to the hoop. They try again. They have fun. They are happy. They are peaceful. +Sara loves to bathe in the big tub. She has many toys to play with in the water. She has a duck, a fish, a boat and an aeroplane. She makes the aeroplane fly in the air and land in the water. She makes the boat sail and the fish swim. She makes the duck quack and splash. + +One day, Sara sees a real aeroplane in the sky. It is big and white and makes a loud noise. She points to it and says, "Look, mama, aeroplane!" Mama smiles and says, "Yes, Sara, that is an aeroplane. It takes people to faraway places. Maybe one day we can go on an aeroplane too." + +Sara likes the idea of going on an aeroplane. She asks mama, "Where can we go, mama?" Mama thinks and says, "We can go to the beach, where the sand is soft and the water is blue. We can go to the mountains, where the snow is white and the air is cold. We can go to the city, where the buildings are tall and the lights are bright. There are many places we can go, Sara." + +Sara thinks and says, "I want to go to the beach, mama. I want to see the fish and the boat and the duck in the sea. I want to play in the sand and make a castle. Can we go to the beach, mama?" Mama hugs Sara and says, "Maybe we can, Sara. Maybe we can. But first, we have to finish your bath and get ready for bed. It is getting dark and you are tired." + +Sara nods and says, "Okay, mama. But can we take the aeroplane toy with us?" Mama laughs and says, "Sure, Sara. We can take the aeroplane toy with us. It can fly with us to the beach and back. Now, let's wash your hair and dry your body. Then we can read a story and say good night." Sara smiles and says, "I love you, mama. And I love the aeroplane." Mama says, "I love you too, Sara. And I love the aeroplane too." +Tommy was a little boy who liked to play with his toys. He had many toys, but his favorite was a big red truck. He liked to make the truck go vroom vroom and honk honk. He also liked to put other toys in the truck and take them for a ride. + +One day, Tommy was playing with his truck in his room. He saw a shiny coin on the floor. He wanted to have the coin, so he crawled to get it. He did not see that his truck was behind him. He bumped into his truck and made it fall over. All the toys in the truck spilled out and made a big mess. + +Tommy heard his mom coming. He knew he had to clean up his mess. But he also wanted to keep the coin. He quickly grabbed the coin and hid it under his pillow. Then he tried to pick up the toys and put them back in the truck. But he was too slow. His mom opened the door and saw the mess. + +"Tommy, what did you do?" his mom asked. She looked angry and sad. "You made a big waste of your toys. You have to take care of your things. And why are you hiding something under your pillow?" + +Tommy felt guilty. He knew he did a bad thing. He did not want to make his mom angry and sad. He did not want to lose his truck. He took out the coin and gave it to his mom. He said he was sorry. He said he would clean up his mess. + +His mom hugged him and said she loved him. She said she was glad he told the truth. She said he could keep the coin, but he had to put it in his piggy bank. She said he could play with his truck, but he had to be careful. She said she would help him clean up his mess. + +Tommy smiled and said he loved his mom. He said he would be a good boy. He said he would play with his truck and his other toys. He said he would not crawl for shiny things anymore. +Lila had a cat named Dot. Dot was a charming cat. She had black and white fur and green eyes. She liked to play with Lila and cuddle with her. Lila loved Dot very much. + +One day, Lila and Dot went to the park. They saw a big tree with red apples. Lila wanted to pick an apple for a snack. She climbed the tree and reached for an apple. But the apple was not good. It was brown and soft. It had worms inside. It was rot. + +"Yuck!" Lila said. "This apple is rot. I don't want it." She threw the apple away. + +Dot saw the apple falling. She thought it was a toy. She ran to catch it. She bit the apple and tasted it. It was sour and bitter. It made her mouth hurt. She spat the apple out. + +"Blech!" Dot said. "This apple is rot. I don't like it." She shook her head and rubbed her tongue. + +Lila heard Dot and looked down. She saw Dot with the apple. She felt sorry for her. She climbed down the tree and hugged her. + +"I'm sorry, Dot," Lila said. "That apple was rot. It was not for you. Are you okay?" + +Dot nodded and licked Lila's face. She was okay. She still loved Lila. + +Lila smiled and kissed Dot. She was okay. She still loved Dot. + +They decided to leave the park and go home. They found a better snack in the kitchen. They shared a bowl of milk and some cookies. They were happy. They were charming. +Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play with their toys. Sara has a doll and Tom has a truck. One day, they go to the farm with their moms. They see many animals at the farm. + +"Look, Sara, a sheep!" Tom says. He points to a white animal with a lot of wool. "It is so soft and warm." + +"Yes, Tom, it is. Can we touch it?" Sara asks. She walks closer to the sheep. The sheep looks at them and makes a sound. "Baa, baa." + +"Hi, sheep. We are Sara and Tom. We want to talk to you. What is your name?" Sara says. She smiles and tries to pet the sheep. + +The sheep does not like Sara and Tom. It thinks they are too loud and too close. It does not want to talk to them. It wants to eat grass and be with its friends. It moves away from Sara and Tom. It makes a louder sound. "Baa, baa, baa!" + +"Uh-oh, Sara, I think the sheep is angry. Maybe we should leave it alone." Tom says. He pulls Sara back. He is a little scared of the sheep. + +"Okay, Tom, let's go. Maybe we can find another animal to talk to. Maybe a cow or a pig or a horse. They might be more friendly." Sara says. She is not happy with the sheep. She thinks the sheep is rude. + +They say goodbye to the sheep and run to another part of the farm. They hope to have more fun with other animals. They still think the farm is a great place to play. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play in the valley. The valley has many flowers and trees and birds. Tom and Lily have fun in the valley. + +One day, Tom and Lily find a big rock in the valley. The rock is shiny and smooth. Tom and Lily want to play with the rock. But they do not agree on what to do with the rock. + +"I want to roll the rock down the hill," Tom says. "It will be fast and loud." + +"No, I want to paint the rock with colors," Lily says. "It will be pretty and bright." + +Tom and Lily are upset. They do not want to share the rock. They do not want to play together. They start to pull the rock from each other. + +"Let go of the rock!" Tom shouts. + +"No, you let go of the rock!" Lily shouts. + +Tom and Lily are so busy fighting that they do not see a big bird. The bird is hungry and curious. The bird sees the shiny rock. The bird thinks the rock is a tasty egg. The bird swoops down and grabs the rock with its claws. + +Tom and Lily are shocked. They watch the bird fly away with the rock. They do not have the rock anymore. They feel sad and silly. + +"Sorry, Tom," Lily says. "I was mean to you. The rock was not worth it." + +"Sorry, Lily," Tom says. "I was mean to you too. The rock was not that fun." + +Tom and Lily hug. They are friends again. They do not need the rock to play. They have each other and the valley. They are happy in the valley. +Sara and Ben were twins who liked to play with cars. They had many cars of different colors and sizes, but their favorite was a big silver car that looked very fast. They always wanted to race with the silver car, but they had to share it. + +One day, they found a new car in their toy box. It was also silver, but smaller and lighter. It had a sticker that said "Super Speedy". Sara and Ben were very excited. They thought it was a real racing car. + +"Let's race with the new car!" Sara said. + +"OK, but I want to use it first!" Ben said. + +"No, I saw it first!" Sara said. + +They started to fight over the new car. They pulled and pushed and shouted. They did not notice that their mom was watching them. + +"Stop, stop!" their mom said. "Why are you fighting over a toy?" + +"Because it's a racing car!" Sara and Ben said. + +Their mom shook her head. She picked up the new car and showed it to them. + +"Look closely," she said. "This is not a racing car. It's a fake car. It doesn't even have wheels. It's just a piece of plastic with a sticker. It can't race at all." + +Sara and Ben looked at the new car. They felt silly and ashamed. They had fought over a fake car and ignored their real car. + +"I'm sorry, Sara," Ben said. + +"I'm sorry, Ben," Sara said. + +They hugged and said sorry to their mom. Then they put the fake car back in the toy box and took out the big silver car. + +"Let's race with the real car," Sara said. + +"OK, but let's take turns," Ben said. + +They smiled and ran to the backyard. They had fun racing with the real car and playing together. + +The moral of the story is: Don't be fooled by appearances. Sometimes things that look shiny and exciting are not as good as they seem. It's better to appreciate what you have and share it with others. +Lila and Ben were playing in the farm. They liked to see the animals and the plants. They saw cows, pigs, chickens, and sheep. They also saw wheat. Wheat was a yellow plant that grew in the field. The farmer used wheat to make bread and cake. + +"Look, Lila, wheat!" Ben said. He ran to the wheat and touched it. He wanted to see how it felt. + +Lila followed him. She was curious too. She touched the wheat and smelled it. It smelled nice. + +But then, Ben started to sneeze. He sneezed loud and hard. He sneezed so much that his nose was red and wet. + +"Achoo! Achoo! Achoo!" Ben sneezed. + +"Oh no, Ben, are you okay?" Lila asked. She was worried about her friend. + +"I don't know, Lila. I feel bad. I think I'm allergic to wheat." Ben said. He rubbed his nose and eyes. + +"Allergic? What does that mean?" Lila asked. She did not know that word. + +"It means that wheat makes me sick. It makes me sneeze and itch. I can't play with wheat." Ben explained. + +"That's sad, Ben. I'm sorry. Let's go away from the wheat. Maybe you will feel better." Lila said. She took Ben's hand and led him to the barn. + +There, they met the farmer. He was a kind and wise man. He saw that Ben was not well. + +"What's wrong, Ben? You look sick." The farmer asked. + +"I'm allergic to wheat, sir. It makes me sneeze and itch." Ben said. + +"Oh, I see. That's unfortunate. Some people are allergic to wheat. It's not their fault. It's just how they are." The farmer said. + +"Is there anything you can do to help me, sir?" Ben asked. + +"Well, I can give you some water and a tissue. And I can show you something else that you can play with. Something that won't make you sneeze or itch." The farmer said. + +He took them to another field. There, they saw corn. Corn was a green and yellow plant that grew in the field. The farmer used corn to make popcorn and chips. + +"Look, Lila and Ben, corn! Corn is another plant that I grow. It's different from wheat. It's bigger and sweeter. And it doesn't make anyone allergic. You can play with corn. You can touch it and smell it and taste it. You can even make things with it. Do you want to try?" The farmer asked. + +"Yes, please!" Lila and Ben said. They were happy and excited. + +They ran to the corn and played with it. They felt how it was soft and hard. They smelled how it was sweet and fresh. They tasted how it was crunchy and yummy. They made things with it. They made hats and necklaces and dolls. They had fun. + +They thanked the farmer for showing them corn. They said goodbye to him and the animals. They went home with their corn things. They were glad that they had a wise and kind friend. They were glad that they had each other. They were glad that they had corn. +Lily and Tom were twins. They liked to play with their toys. One day, they saw a big box in the living room. It had a bow on it. + +"What is that?" Lily asked. + +"Maybe it is a gift for us," Tom said. + +They ran to the box and opened it. Inside, they found a big chest. It was wooden and had a lock on it. + +"Wow, a chest!" Lily said. "What is inside?" + +"I don't know. Let's find the key," Tom said. + +They looked around the box, but they could not find the key. They tried to open the chest with their hands, but it was too hard. + +"Maybe Mom or Dad have the key," Lily said. + +They went to find their parents. They saw Mom in the kitchen. + +"Mom, Mom, look what we received!" Lily said, showing her the chest. + +"That's a fine chest, Lily. Where did you get it?" Mom asked. + +"It was in the big box in the living room. Do you have the key?" Tom asked. + +Mom smiled. "Yes, I do. It's a special chest. It belonged to your grandma. She gave it to me when I was little, and now I'm giving it to you." + +"Really? What is inside?" Lily asked. + +"Let's go and see," Mom said. + +She took the key and led them to the living room. She unlocked the chest and opened it. Inside, there were many things: books, dolls, cars, puzzles, and more. + +"These are the toys that I played with when I was your age. And some of them were your grandma's toys, too. You can play with them and take care of them," Mom said. + +"Wow, thank you, Mom! This is the best gift ever!" Lily and Tom said. + +They hugged Mom and then started to explore the chest. They found many fun and interesting things. They were very happy. They had received a fine chest full of treasures. +Lily liked to drink water from her cup. She drank water every day, when she was thirsty, when she was hot, when she was sad. She said water was good for her and made her happy. + +One day, Lily saw a big bottle on the table. It was shiny and had a picture of a bird on it. Lily thought it was water, but it was not. It was spirit, a drink for grown-ups. Lily did not know that. She wanted to try it. She climbed on a chair and reached for the bottle. + +Mama saw Lily and ran to her. She was scared. She took the bottle from Lily and said, "No, no, no, Lily! This is not water, this is spirit. Spirit is not for you, it is bad for you. It can make you sick and hurt you. You must never drink spirit, only water. Do you understand?" + +Lily nodded. She was sorry. She did not want to drink spirit. She wanted to drink water. She hugged Mama and said, "I love you, Mama. I love water. Water is good for me and makes me happy." + +Mama smiled and kissed Lily. She said, "I love you, too, Lily. You are a good girl. You are impressive. You are my water girl." She gave Lily her cup and filled it with water. Lily drank water and felt good. She was happy. +Ben and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big slide. It is green and shiny. + +"Let's go on the slide!" Ben says. + +"OK!" Mia says. + +They run to the slide. Ben goes first. He sits on the slide and slides down. He laughs and says, "That was fun!" + +Mia goes next. She sits on the slide and slides down. But she slides too fast. She falls off the slide and lands on the grass. She cries and says, "Ow, ow, ow!" + +Ben runs to Mia. He sees that she has a scratch on her knee. He says, "Are you OK, Mia?" + +Mia says, "No, I'm not OK. It hurts!" + +Ben says, "Don't cry, Mia. I have a band-aid in my backpack. I can put it on your knee." + +He takes out his backpack and opens it. He looks for the band-aid. But he can't find it. He says, "Oh no, where is the band-aid?" + +He remembers that he used the band-aid for his test. He had to draw a picture of a band-aid for his test. He says, "I'm sorry, Mia. I don't have the band-aid. I used it for my test." + +Mia says, "What test?" + +Ben says, "The test at school. We had to draw things that start with B. I drew a band-aid, a ball, a banana, and a bear." + +Mia says, "That sounds like a hard test." + +Ben says, "It was not hard. It was easy. I like to draw." + +Mia says, "I like to draw too. But I don't like to fall." + +Ben says, "Me neither. Let's go to the swings. They are safer than the slide." + +Mia says, "OK. But can you hold my hand?" + +Ben says, "Of course. I'm your friend." + +They hold hands and walk to the swings. They swing and smile. They forget about the fall and the test. They are happy. +Lily and Ben are best friends. They like to play in the park together. One day, they find a big green thing on the ground. It is an avocado. + +"What is this?" Lily asks. + +"I don't know. It looks like a ball, but it is not round. And it has a brown spot on it," Ben says. + +They pick up the avocado and feel it. It is soft and squishy. + +"Maybe we can eat it," Lily says. + +"Maybe. But how do we open it?" Ben says. + +They look around and see a big rock. They take the avocado to the rock and try to smash it. But it is too hard. The avocado only gets a dent. + +"This is not working," Lily says. + +"Let's ask someone who knows," Ben says. + +They see a lady walking her dog. She has a friendly smile. She looks reliable. + +"Excuse me, lady. Do you know what this is?" Ben asks, holding up the avocado. + +The lady stops and looks at them. She laughs. + +"That is an avocado, children. It is a fruit that you can eat. But you need a knife to cut it open. And a spoon to scoop out the flesh. It is very yummy and healthy," she says. + +"Wow, thank you, lady. Can we have a knife and a spoon, please?" Lily asks. + +"Sure, I have some in my bag. But you have to be careful with the knife. It is sharp. And you have to share the avocado. It is big enough for two," the lady says. + +She gives them a knife and a spoon and helps them cut the avocado. She shows them how to remove the seed and how to sprinkle some salt on the flesh. + +"Here you go. Enjoy your avocado," she says. + +Lily and Ben thank the lady and taste the avocado. They like it. It is creamy and nutty. + +"This is delicious," Lily says. + +"Yes, it is. And we found it by ourselves," Ben says. + +They smile and eat the avocado. They are happy. They have a new favorite fruit. And they have a new friend. The lady with the dog. She is reliable. +Anna loved roses. She liked their red color and their sweet smell. She wanted to have a rose of her own. One day, she saw a rose bush in the park. She ran to it and tried to pick a rose. But the rose had thorns. They hurt her hand and made her cry. + +A boy saw Anna crying. He felt sorry for her. He had a rose in his hand. He had picked it from his mom's garden. He went to Anna and said, "Don't cry. I have a rose for you. Here, take it. It is yours." + +Anna stopped crying. She looked at the boy and his rose. She smiled. She liked the boy and his rose. She said, "Thank you. You are very nice. What is your name?" + +The boy said, "My name is Ben. What is your name?" + +Anna said, "My name is Anna. Do you want to be my friend?" + +Ben said, "Yes, I want to be your friend. Can we play together?" + +Anna said, "Yes, we can play together. But we have to be careful with the roses. They have thorns. They can hurt us." + +Ben said, "I know. I learned that from my mom. She told me to be gentle with the roses. She said they are beautiful but fragile. She said they are like promises. We have to keep them and not break them." + +Anna said, "What are promises?" + +Ben said, "Promises are when you say you will do something and you do it. Like, I promise to be your friend and I will be your friend. You promise to be my friend and you will be my friend. That is a promise." + +Anna said, "I understand. I like promises. They are good. Can we make a promise?" + +Ben said, "Yes, we can make a promise. What do you want to promise?" + +Anna said, "I want to promise to share my rose with you. You gave it to me, but it is also yours. We can both smell it and look at it. That is my promise." + +Ben said, "I like your promise. I want to promise to share my toys with you. You can play with them whenever you want. They are also yours. We can both have fun with them. That is my promise." + +Anna and Ben hugged each other. They made their promises. They were happy. They were friends. They did not know that some people were ignorant. They did not know that some people did not keep their promises. They did not know that some people did not like roses. They only knew that they liked each other and their rose. They only knew that they were happy. +Once upon a time, there was a big elephant named Ellie. She loved to play at the park with her friends. One day, she saw a slide and wanted to try it. She climbed up and slid down so fast! It was so much fun! + +Suddenly, she saw her friend, a bunny named Benny, crying. Ellie asked, "What's wrong, Benny?" Benny said, "I lost my pastel! It was enormous and now it's gone forever." Ellie wanted to help her friend, so she looked around the park. + +Finally, Ellie found the pastel under a big tree. She brought it back to Benny and said, "Here you go, Benny. I found your enormous pastel." Benny was so happy and said, "Thank you, Ellie! You're the best friend ever!" Ellie was happy too and said, "No problem, Benny. That's what friends are for." They hugged and continued to play at the park. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She loved to play near the creek behind her house. One day, she went too close to the creek and fell in. The water was very deep and dangerous.
