You are the best toy ever." + +Sam saw the spear and wanted to play with it. He waited until Tom was inside and then took the spear from the box.

It landed on the window of the house and broke the glass. + +Mom heard the crash and came outside. She saw the broken window and the spear on the ground. She was very angry and scared.

But you have to be careful and listen to me. The spear is not a toy. It is a tool that only grown-ups can use. And you have to tidy up your toys when I tell you. Do you understand?" + +Sam nodded and said, "I understand, Mom. I won't play with the spear again. And I'll tidy up my toys. Can I still play with Tom?" + +Mom smiled and said, "Yes, you can still play with Tom. But only with safe toys. And after you help me clean up the window.

She wished she had something special to cover her reflection and make it twinkle like the other stars in the sky. + +Joan's mom saw how excited Joan was and asked her what she wanted. With glittering eyes, Joan said, "Mom, I want something to cover my reflection in the lake and make it sparkle!" Her mom smiled and gave her a big jar of stars. + +Joan quickly took the jar and covered her reflection with the stars. She watched as her reflection twinkled in the sunlight and smiled. But when she looked around, she noticed something sad. Everyone else was covering their reflections with their wishes, but she was being selfish and using all the stars for herself. + +Joan thought for a moment and then realized something. She said to her mom, "Mom, I think I know what I should do. I should take a few stars and give them away to the other kids, so they can cover their reflections too." + +Her mom smiled and gave Joan a hug. Joan felt happy and proud of herself. She passed out stars to her friends and each of them was able to cover their reflections and make them sparkle in the sunshine. From that day on, Joan was known as the star-sharing girl. +Once upon a time there was a white flea. He was a very happy flea and loved to wrap things up. One day he was walking around the forest looking for something to wrap. All of a sudden he found a big box. + +He was so excited to wrap it up and he worked hard to wrap the entire box. When he was done, he proudly stepped back to admire his work. + +Just then, a big bird swooped down from the sky. The bird grabbed the flea in his beak and flew away. The flea was so scared he didn't know what to do. + +He yelled at the bird, "Please let me go!" But the bird just kept flying and wouldn't stop. The flea finally gave up and sadly said to himself, "I will never be able to wrap anything again." + +The end! +Once there was an alligator named Tony. He was thin and long.

Tony looked back and saw a little girl. She asked Tony if he could carry her over the swamp. Tony was surprised, but he said yes. + +The girl climbed onto Tony's back and they began walking. Tony could feel the girl's tiny hands holding onto his back, but the girl didn't make a sound. As they were walking, Tony started to think that this girl wasn't his ordinary passenger. + +When they finally reached the other side of the swamp, Tony stopped. The girl thanked Tony and then, to Tony's surprise, she hopped off his back, revealing her true identity. She was a small alligator, just like Tony! The alligators laughed and said goodbye.

She had lost her favorite toy and she was very sad. + +May went to ask her mom for help, but her mom did not support her. Instead, she told May to find the toy herself.

I promise, I’ll never bring it again.†+ +The bear looked at Sarah, and he understood. He said, “I’m sorry I scared you. I was just ignorant and thought you were taking my food.

Lila counted to ten and then looked for Tom. She saw a big tree with many leaves and thought Tom might be behind it. + +She walked to the tree and peeked around it. But she did not see Tom. She only saw a bird that flew away when she peeked. She heard Tom giggle from somewhere else. She turned around and saw a bench near the west side of the park. She thought Tom might be under the bench. + +She ran to the bench and peeked under it. But she did not see Tom. She only saw a cat that hissed at her when she peeked.

He sees a hole in the bucket. Water is coming out of the hole. He says, "Lily, look! The bucket has a leak!" + +Lily looks at the bucket. She sees the water dripping from the hole. She says, "Oh no! The bucket is broken! We need to fix it!" + +They think of what to do. They look around the garden. They see some leaves, some sticks, some stones, and some mud. They try to use them to cover the hole. But nothing works. The water still comes out of the hole. + +They are sad. They like the bucket. They want to keep playing with it. They say, "What can we do? How can we stop the leak?" + +Then, they see something else. They see a big, rough, brown ball. It is under a bush. They go to the bush. They pull the ball out. They see that it is not a ball. It is a coconut. + +They say, "Wow! A coconut! Where did it come from?" + +They do not know. But they have an idea. They think that maybe the coconut can help them. They try to fit the coconut over the hole. It is hard. The coconut is rough and heavy. But they push and push. And they do it. They make the coconut cover the hole. + +They say, "Yay! We did it! We fixed the bucket! The coconut stopped the leak!" + +They are happy. They hug the coconut. They hug each other. They go back to playing with the water.

They had a big bottle of water and some brushes. They wanted to mark the wall with water. They thought it was fun to see the water make shapes on the wall. + +"Look, I made a star!" Lily said, showing Tom her brush. + +"Wow, that's good!" Tom said. "I will make a circle." + +They took turns to mark the wall with water. They laughed and talked. They liked to play together. + +But then, the bottle of water was empty. They had used all the water to mark the wall. They were sad. They wanted to mark more. + +"Let's get more water," Tom said. "We can fill the bottle again." + +"OK," Lily said. "But where can we get water?" + +They looked around. They saw a tap near the house. But it was too high for them. They could not reach it. + +"That's difficult," Tom said. "How can we get water from there?" + +They thought hard. They had an idea. They got a chair from the kitchen. They carried it to the tap. They put the bottle on the chair. They climbed on the chair. They turned the tap. Water came out. They filled the bottle. + +"Yay, we did it!" Lily said. "Now we have more water to mark the wall." + +They took the bottle and the brushes. They ran back to the wall. They marked the wall with water again. They were happy. They had fun. +Lily liked to grow flowers in her garden. She had many colors and shapes of flowers. She watered them every day and sang to them. She was very happy when they grew big and bright. + +One day, she saw a new flower by the gate. It was small and white and had a sweet smell. Lily wanted to pick it and put it in a vase. She reached for the flower, but a voice stopped her. + +"Please don't pick me," the flower said. "I am a helpful flower. I help the bees make honey and the birds find seeds. If you pick me, I will die and they will be sad." + +Lily was surprised. She did not know flowers could talk. She felt sorry for the flower. She did not want to make the bees and the birds sad. She wanted to be helpful too. + +"Okay, I will not pick you," Lily said. "I will let you grow by the gate. Can I be your friend?" + +The flower smiled. "Yes, you can be my friend. Thank you for being kind and helpful. You are a good gardener and a good person." + +Lily smiled too. She was happy to have a new friend. She went to get some water and sang to the flower by the gate. They talked and laughed and enjoyed the sun. Lily learned many things from the flower. The flower learned many things from Lily. They were both very happy. +Anna was very scared of the dark. She did not like to sleep in her room alone. She always had bad dreams of big monsters and loud noises. She felt helpless and wanted to cry. + +One night, she heard a soft voice from under her bed. It said, "Hello, Anna. Do not be scared. I am your friend. I am here to remind you of good things. I can make your dreams happy and fun." + +Anna was curious and looked under her bed. She saw a small, furry creature with big eyes and a long tail. It smiled at her and said, "I am a dream catcher. I catch bad dreams and turn them into good ones. I can show you magic and wonder. Do you want to see?" + +Anna nodded and climbed under the bed with the dream catcher. It held her hand and closed its eyes. Anna felt a warm and gentle breeze. She opened her eyes and saw a beautiful garden with colorful flowers and butterflies. She heard birds singing and water splashing. She smelled honey and fruit. She felt happy and safe. + +The dream catcher said, "This is your dream, Anna. You can do anything you want here.

They saw cows and horses and birds and flowers. They sang songs and played games. They could not wait to eat and play. + +When they got to the park, they found a nice spot under a big tree. They spread a blanket and took out the food. Mom and Dad said they could have one cookie each after they finished their sandwiches and fruits. + +Lily ate her sandwich and fruit quickly. She wanted a cookie. She saw that Ben was still eating his fruit. She thought he was too slow. She decided to take his cookie when he was not looking. She was very selfish. + +"Hey, that's my cookie!" Ben cried when he saw Lily with his cookie. He was very sad and angry. He tried to get his cookie back, but Lily ran away. She did not want to share. + +Mom and Dad saw what happened. They were very upset with Lily. They told her to give Ben his cookie back and say sorry. They told her that being selfish was not nice.

She only wanted to wear dresses and skirts, even when it was cold outside. + +One day, her mom told her they had to go to the store. She gave Lily a pair of pants and a sweater to put on. Lily did not want to wear them. She tried to resist. She said, "No, no, no! I don't like pants! I want to wear my pink dress!" + +Her mom said, "Lily, you have to wear pants today. It is very cold outside and you will get sick if you don't. Pants will keep you warm and cozy. Please, put them on for me." + +Lily was not happy, but she saw her mom was serious. She did not want to make her mom sad or angry. She put on the pants and the sweater, but she still felt uncomfortable. + +They went to the store and Lily saw many things. She saw fruits and vegetables, toys and books, and clothes and shoes. She also saw a mysterious box. It was big and brown and had a red ribbon on it. She wondered what was inside. + +She asked her mom, "Mom, what is that box? Can we open it?" + +Her mom said, "That box is a surprise for someone. We can't open it. It is not ours. Come on, let's go pay for our things." + +Lily was curious, but she obeyed her mom. She followed her to the cashier and helped her put their things in a bag. She still thought about the box, but she did not say anything. + +They left the store and went back to the car. Lily felt a little warmer in her pants, but she still wished she could wear her dress. She hoped they would get home soon. + +She said to her mom, "Mom, can I take off my pants when we get home?" + +Her mom smiled and said, "Yes, Lily, you can take off your pants when we get home.

I can't see very well. I need this cane to help me walk." + +Lily felt sorry for the man. She had an idea. "I can paint for you. I can paint something you like. What do you like?" + +The man thought for a moment. "I like the sun. The sun is warm and bright. It makes me feel safe." + +Lily nodded. She took a yellow paint and a big brush. She painted a big sun on the wall behind the bench. She painted rays of light and happy faces. She painted birds and clouds and stars. She painted until the wall was full of color. + +"Look, sir. I painted the sun for you. Do you like it?" Lily said. + +The man turned his head and squinted his eyes. He saw the sun and the wall. He saw Lily and her paints. He felt a warm feeling in his heart.

She was happy too. She liked to paint. She liked to make people happy. She was a good painter. +Ben was a small boy who liked to play with his sword. He made it from a stick and some paper. He pretended to be a brave knight who fought dragons and monsters. + +One day, he saw a big scale in his dad's garage. He wondered how much he weighed. He climbed on the scale and looked at the numbers. He did not understand them, but he saw that the needle moved. + +"Look, dad, I weigh a lot!" he shouted. + +His dad came and smiled. He picked up Ben and his sword and put them on the scale together. + +"No, Ben, you are not very heavy. You are just right for your age. But your sword is very light. Do you want to see how much it weighs?" he asked. + +"Yes, please!" Ben said. + +His dad took the sword and put it on the scale. The needle barely moved. + +"See, Ben, your sword weighs almost nothing. It is too small and thin to be a real sword. But it is good for playing and having fun. Do you like your sword?" he asked. + +"I love my sword!" Ben said. "It is the best sword ever! Can we play knights and dragons now?" + +"Sure, Ben, let's go!" his dad said. He put Ben on his shoulders and ran to the backyard. They had a lot of fun playing with the sword and pretending to be heroes. +Lily and Ben wanted to play in the river, but their mom said no. She said the river was too fast and too deep for them. She said they could play in the pond instead, where the water was slow and shallow. + +But Lily and Ben had a plan. They found some sticks and leaves and made a raft. They tied the raft with a rope and put it in the pond. They said they would pretend the pond was the river and have an adventure. + +"Can we go on the raft, mom?" Lily asked. + +"Only if you wear your life jackets and stay close to the shore," mom said. "And don't let go of the rope." + +"OK, mom," Ben said. "We will be careful." + +Lily and Ben put on their life jackets and climbed on the raft. They pushed the raft with their feet and made it move in the pond. They saw some fish and frogs and ducks. They waved to mom and smiled. + +"We are successful rafters!" Lily said. + +"Yes, we are!" Ben said. + +They had fun on the raft until it was time to go home. They pulled the raft to the shore and thanked mom for allowing them to play. They said they would play in the river when they were bigger and stronger. Mom hugged them and said she was proud of them. +Lily loved her pet cat, Mimi. Mimi was soft and fluffy and liked to play with Lily. Sometimes, Mimi would hide under the bed or behind the sofa and Lily would look for her. When Lily found Mimi, she would whisper, "I see you, Mimi!" and Mimi would meow and run to Lily. + +One day, Lily and Mimi were playing in the garden. The sun was bright and the sky was clear. Lily saw a butterfly and wanted to catch it. She ran after the butterfly, but it flew away. Lily did not see where Mimi went. She looked around and called, "Mimi, where are you?" + +Lily heard a soft sound from the bushes. She walked over and saw Mimi sitting on a branch. Mimi had a bird in her mouth. The bird was not moving. Lily was scared and sad. She whispered, "Mimi, what did you do?" + +Mimi looked at Lily and dropped the bird. She jumped down from the branch and rubbed her head against Lily's leg. She meowed and licked Lily's hand. Lily hugged Mimi and said, "Mimi, I love you, but you should not hurt the bird. The bird was alive and had a family. How would you feel if someone hurt you?" + +Mimi did not understand Lily's words, but she felt Lily's love and sorrow. She snuggled with Lily and purred. Lily carried Mimi back to the house and gave her some milk. She hoped the bird's family would be okay. She whispered, "Mimi, please be nice to the other animals. They are your friends, not your food." +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the garden. The garden has many flowers and trees and birds. Anna likes the red flowers. Ben likes the blue flowers. + +One day, they see a big blue bird in the garden. The bird is very pretty. It has a long tail and a shiny beak. The bird flies to a blue flower and picks it with its beak. + +"Look, Anna, the bird is stealing the flower!" Ben says. + +"That is not nice. The flower is for the garden, not for the bird," Anna says. + +They run to the bird and try to get the flower back. The bird sees them and flies away. It drops the flower on the ground. + +"Ha, we got the flower back!" Ben says. + +He picks up the flower and gives it to Anna. "Here, you can have it. You like blue flowers." + +"Thank you, Ben. You are a good friend," Anna says. + +They smile and hug. They put the flower back in the garden. They hope the bird will not steal it again. They play some more in the garden. They are happy. +Ben and Lily were playing in the park with their dog Spot. They liked to run and jump and throw a ball for Spot to catch. Spot was a big and strong dog who loved to play with them. + +One day, they saw a mean cat hiding behind a tree. The cat had sharp claws and a loud hiss. It wanted to scare Spot and make him run away. The cat jumped out and ran towards Spot, who was busy chasing the ball. + +"Spot, watch out!" Ben shouted. He ran to help his dog, but he was too far. He felt weak and scared. He wished he had something to make the cat go away. + +Lily saw what was happening. She had a whistle in her pocket that her mom gave her. She took it out and blew it as hard as she could. The whistle made a loud and high sound that hurt the cat's ears. The cat stopped and covered its ears with its paws. It looked angry and confused. + +"Go away, mean cat!" Lily yelled. "You can't hurt Spot! He is our friend and we will protect him!" + +The cat decided it was not worth it. It ran away and hid under a car. Spot came back to Ben and Lily and licked their faces. He was happy and grateful. Ben and Lily hugged him and thanked him for being brave. + +"Good job, Lily!"

They had many blocks of different colors and shapes. + +But then, Lily saw a big bag of candy on the table. She wanted to eat some candy. She left the blocks and went to the table. She opened the bag and took out a handful of candy. She put some in her mouth and some on the floor. + +Ben saw what Lily was doing. He was confused. Why did Lily leave the blocks? Why did she waste the candy? He did not like candy on the floor. He said to Lily, "Stop, Lily! Stop! You are wasting the candy! You are making a mess! Come back and play with the blocks!" + +Lily did not listen to Ben. She liked the candy. She wanted more candy. She took out another handful of candy. She put some in her mouth and some on the floor. + +Ben was angry. He did not want to play with Lily anymore. He went to the blocks and started to build a wall. He wanted to block Lily from the candy. He said to himself, "Lily is bad. Lily is greedy. Lily is not my friend." + +Lily saw what Ben was doing. She was confused. Why did Ben build a wall? Why did he not want to play with her? She did not like the wall. She wanted to see the candy. She said to Ben, "Stop, Ben! Stop! You are wasting the blocks! You are making a wall! Come back and play with me!" + +But Ben did not listen to Lily. He liked the blocks. He wanted more blocks. He took out all the blocks from the box. He put them on the wall. + +The wall was very high and very wide. It blocked Lily from the candy. It blocked Lily from Ben. Lily could not see the candy. Lily could not see Ben. Lily was sad. She cried. + +Ben heard Lily cry. He was confused. Why did Lily cry? He looked over the wall. He saw Lily on the floor. She had no candy. She had no blocks. She had no friend. + +Ben felt sorry for Lily. He did not want to make Lily cry. He did not want to waste the blocks. He did not want to waste the candy. He did not want to waste their friendship. + +He said to Lily, "I'm sorry, Lily. I'm sorry. You can have some candy. You can have some blocks. You can be my friend." + +He took down the wall. He gave some candy to Lily. He gave some blocks to Lily. He hugged Lily. + +Lily smiled. She said to Ben, "Thank you, Ben. Thank you. You can have some candy. You can have some blocks. You can be my friend." + +They shared the candy. They shared the blocks. They played together. They were happy. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big blue truck that sold pastries. They ran to the truck and asked for a pastry each. + +"Here you go, kids. Enjoy your pastries," the man in the truck said. He gave them a chocolate croissant and a strawberry muffin. + +Ben and Lily thanked the man and sat on a bench to eat their pastries. They were very yummy and sweet. Ben liked his chocolate croissant a lot. He ate it very fast. + +Lily liked her strawberry muffin too, but she ate it slowly. She wanted to save some for later. She saw a squirrel on a tree and wanted to share her muffin with it. + +"Ben, look at the squirrel. It is so cute. Can I give it some of my muffin?" Lily asked. + +"No, Lily. That is your muffin. You have to eat it all. The squirrel can find its own food," Ben said. + +"But I want to be nice to the squirrel. It looks hungry. Please, Ben, let me give it some of my muffin," Lily said. + +"No, Lily. Quit asking me. You have to eat your muffin. It is good for you," Ben said. + +Lily felt sad. She did not want to eat her muffin anymore. She wanted to make the squirrel happy. She decided to quit listening to Ben. She broke off a piece of her muffin and threw it to the squirrel. + +The squirrel saw the piece of muffin and ran to get it. It took it in its mouth and nibbled on it. It looked very happy and thanked Lily with a squeak. + +Lily smiled. She felt happy too. She did not care that Ben was mad at her. She had made a new friend. She waved to the squirrel and finished her muffin. She thought it was the best pastry ever. +Anna liked to visit her grandma every week. Grandma lived in a small house near the woods. Anna loved to play in the garden with the flowers and the birds. Sometimes she saw a mole digging in the dirt. The mole was brown and furry and had a long nose. + +One day, Anna wanted to talk to the mole. She waited until he came out of his hole and said hello. The mole looked at her with his small eyes and said hello back. He was not afraid of Anna. He was a friendly mole. + +"What are you doing?" Anna asked. + +"I am looking for worms. They are my food. Do you like worms?" the mole said. + +"No, I don't like worms. They are yucky. I like cookies. They are sweet and crunchy. Do you like cookies?" Anna said. + +"I don't know. I never had a cookie. What is a cookie?" the mole said. + +Anna ran to the house and asked grandma for a cookie. Grandma gave her a big chocolate chip cookie and smiled. Anna ran back to the mole and broke the cookie in half. She gave one half to the mole and kept the other half for herself. + +"Here, try this. This is a cookie. It is sweet and crunchy. I think you will like it." Anna said. + +The mole took a bite of the cookie and chewed. His eyes widened and he smiled. He liked the cookie very much. He said thank you to Anna and asked for more. Anna and the mole shared the rest of the cookie and became friends. They talked and played until it was time for Anna to go home. Anna said goodbye to the mole and promised to visit him again. The mole said goodbye to Anna and thanked her for the cookie. He went back to his hole and dreamed of cookies. Anna went back to the house and hugged grandma. She told her about the mole and the cookie. Grandma laughed and said she was proud of Anna for being kind and brave. She gave her another cookie and a kiss. Anna was happy. She liked to visit her grandma and the mole. They were sweet and friendly. +Sara likes to ride her bike. She has a red bike with two big wheels and two small pedals. She can go fast and slow, and turn left and right. She likes to ride with her friend Tom, who has a blue bike. + +One day, Sara and Tom want to see who has the bigger bike. They decide to measure their bikes with a stick. They find a long stick and put it next to Sara's bike. Then they put it next to Tom's bike. They see that Sara's bike is longer than Tom's bike by a little bit. + +"Ha ha, my bike is bigger than yours!" Sara says. She feels proud of her bike. + +Tom feels sad. He likes his bike, but he thinks Sara's bike is better. He wishes he had a bigger bike too. + +"Don't be sad, Tom," Sara says. "Your bike is still good. It has a bell and a basket. My bike doesn't have those things. And you can ride very well. You can do tricks and jumps. I can't do those things." + +"Really?" Tom says. He feels a little better. + +"Yes, really," Sara says. "And you know what? Sometimes I get tired of my bike. It is too big for me. I have to stretch my legs to reach the pedals. And it is heavy to carry. I wish I had a smaller bike sometimes." + +"Really?" Tom says. He feels surprised. + +"Yes, really," Sara says. "Hey, I have an idea. Why don't we trade bikes for a while? You can try my bike, and I can try yours. Maybe we will like them better. And then we can trade back later. What do you think?" + +Tom thinks for a moment. He likes his bike, but he also wants to try Sara's bike. He thinks it might be fun. + +"OK, let's do it," Tom says. He smiles. + +"OK, let's do it," Sara says. She smiles too. + +They trade bikes and ride away. They have a lot of fun. They learn that both bikes are good, and that they are good friends. They are happy. +Lily and Ben are playing with their toys. Lily has a green tea set and Ben has a red truck. They like to share their toys and pretend to have tea parties and adventures. + +One day, Lily has an idea. She wants to attach her tea set to Ben's truck and make a big wagon. She asks Ben, "Can I attach my tea set to your truck? We can make a big wagon and go to the park." + +Ben thinks this is a fun idea. He says, "Yes, you can attach your tea set to my truck. How do we do it?" + +Lily finds a long string and ties one end to the truck and the other end to the tea set. She says, "Look, we made a big wagon! Now we can put our teddy bears and books in it and go to the park." + +Ben and Lily load their wagon with their things and hold the string. They walk to the park, pulling their wagon behind them. They are very happy and proud of their big wagon. They have a lot of fun playing with their toys and having green tea at the park. +Sara and Ben like to travel with their mom and dad. They go to many places and see many things. One day, they go to a big museum. There are many things to look at and learn. + +Sara and Ben find a room with magnets. Magnets are things that stick to some things and not to others. They are fun to play with. Sara and Ben pick up some magnets and try to stick them to different things. + +"Look, Ben, this magnet sticks to this metal thing!" Sara says. + +"Wow, that's cool, Sara! Let's see if it sticks to this glass thing!" Ben says. + +They try to stick the magnet to the glass thing, but it does not work. They try to stick it to a wood thing, a plastic thing, and a cloth thing, but none of them work. + +"Why does the magnet only stick to the metal thing?" Ben asks. + +"I don't know, Ben. Maybe the metal thing is special. Maybe it has magic in it!" Sara says. + +They keep playing with the magnets, sticking them to the metal things and making shapes and patterns. They have a lot of fun. + +But then, Sara has a silly idea. She sees a big metal thing on the wall. It looks like a clock. She wonders if the magnet will stick to it. + +"Sara, what are you doing?" Ben asks. + +"I want to see if the magnet will stick to the clock!" Sara says. + +She throws the magnet at the clock. The magnet sticks to the clock, but it also makes a loud noise. The clock stops working. The hands stop moving. The people in the museum hear the noise and look at Sara and Ben. + +"Oh no, Sara, you broke the clock!" Ben says. + +Sara feels bad. She did not mean to break the clock. She just wanted to play with the magnet. + +"I'm sorry, Ben. I'm sorry, clock. I'm sorry, people. I was just being silly." Sara says. + +She takes the magnet off the clock and gives it back to the museum. The museum people are not happy, but they are not angry. They know that Sara and Ben are just kids who like to learn and explore. They fix the clock and tell Sara and Ben to be more careful next time. + +Sara and Ben say sorry again and thank the museum people. They leave the room with magnets and go to see other things. They still like to travel and play, but they also learn to respect the things they see. +Tom and Lily are playing hide and seek in the park. Tom is the seeker and Lily is the hider. Lily runs to a big tree and hides behind it. She covers her face with her hands and hopes Tom will not find her. + +Tom counts to ten and then opens his eyes. He looks around and tries to find Lily. He sees a swing, a slide, a bench, but no Lily. He walks to the big tree and hears a giggle. He smiles and says, "I found you, Lily!" + +Lily takes her hands off her face and says, "You are good, Tom. You win!" She comes out from behind the tree and hugs Tom. They are happy and laugh. + +But then they hear a growl. They look at each other and say, "What is that?" They hear the growl again and realize it is their tummies. They are hungry and want to eat. + +They run to their mom, who is sitting on the bench with a picnic basket. They say, "Mom, we are hungry. Can we have some food, please?" Mom nods and says, "Of course, my loves. You played well. Come and have some sandwiches and juice." Tom and Lily say, "Thank you, mom. You are the best!" They sit on the grass and eat. They are full and happy. They love playing hide and seek and they love their mom. +Tom and Lily were playing in the living room. They had many toys, but they liked to pretend that the cushions were animals. Tom had a big blue cushion that he called Bear. Lily had a small pink cushion that she called Bunny. + +"Let's go to the forest and have a picnic," Tom said, holding Bear in his arms. "We can find berries and nuts and honey." + +"Okay," Lily said, following him with Bunny. They put some crackers and juice in a basket and went to the corner of the room, where they laid a blanket on the floor. + +They pretended to eat and talk with their cushions. They made funny noises and laughed. They had a lot of fun. + +But then, Lily saw a shiny ball on the shelf. She liked shiny things. She left Bunny on the blanket and went to get the ball. + +"Hey, where are you going?" Tom asked. "Don't you want to play with us?" + +Lily ignored him. She reached for the ball and took it down. She threw it in the air and caught it. She smiled. + +Tom felt sad. He wanted Lily to play with him and Bear. He thought she was being silly. He picked up Bunny and hugged it. + +"Bunny, do you want to play with me and Bear?" he asked. + +"Yes, please," Bunny said in a high voice. "I like you and Bear. You are nice and fun." + +Tom smiled. He put Bunny next to Bear and pretended to feed them some crackers. He made them talk and sing. He had fun. + +Lily looked at Tom and his cushions. She saw that they were happy. She felt sorry. She wanted to play with them too. She put the ball back on the shelf and went back to the blanket. + +"Tom, I'm sorry," she said. "Can I play with you and Bear and Bunny?" + +Tom looked at her. He saw that she was sorry. He smiled. + +"Of course you can," he said. "We are friends. Come and join us." + +Lily smiled. She hugged Tom and his cushions. They all played together and had a picnic. They were happy. +Lily was excited to go to school today. She liked her classroom and her teacher and her friends. She had a new backpack and a new dress and a new pencil. She wanted to show everyone. + +But when she got to school, she saw something different. The classroom was not the same. It had new walls and new windows and new desks. Lily felt confused and scared. Where was her classroom? Where was her teacher? Where was her seat? + +She saw a lady with a smile. The lady said, "Hello, children. I am Miss Lee. I am your new teacher. Your old classroom is being fixed. It had a leak and a crack. So we have to replace it with this one. Don't worry, it is still a nice classroom. You will have fun and learn a lot here." + +Lily did not like Miss Lee. She wanted her old teacher. She wanted her old classroom. She wanted her old seat. She did not want to replace anything. She felt angry and sad. She said, "No, no, no. I don't like this. I want to go back. I want my old classroom. I want my old teacher. I want my old seat." + +Miss Lee saw that Lily was upset. She said, "I understand, Lily. It is hard to change things. But sometimes we have to. It is not your fault. It is not my fault. It is not anyone's fault. It is just how things are. But we can still have a good time here. We can still be friends. We can still play and draw and read and write. And maybe, one day, you will like this classroom too. Will you give it a try?" + +Lily looked at Miss Lee. She looked at the new classroom. She looked at her new backpack and her new dress and her new pencil. She thought for a moment. She said, "OK. I will try. But I still miss my old classroom. And I still miss my old teacher. And I still miss my old seat." + +Miss Lee nodded. She said, "That's OK, Lily. You can miss them. But you can also like new things. Come, let me show you your new seat. It is right next to the window. You can see the birds and the trees and the sky. And you can sit next to your friend, Sam. He is excited to see you. He has a new toy to show you. Do you want to see it?" + +Lily smiled a little. She said, "Yes, I want to see it. Maybe it is a nice toy. Maybe it is a fun toy. Maybe I will like it." + +She took Miss Lee's hand and walked to her new seat. She saw Sam and his new toy. It was a car that could make noises and lights. It was a cool toy. Lily said, "Hi, Sam. I like your toy. Can I play with it?" + +Sam said, "Hi, Lily. I like your backpack and your dress and your pencil. They are pretty. Yes, you can play with my toy. We can share it." + +Lily and Sam played with the toy. They made noises and lights. They laughed and talked. They had fun. Lily felt a little better. She thought, maybe this new classroom was not so bad. Maybe Miss Lee was not so bad. Maybe she could be excited to go to school again. +Lily and Sam like to play with their toys. They have a lot of toys, but their favorite is the camera. The camera is big and black and has a long strap. They can take pictures of anything they want. + +One day, they decide to play with the camera in the kitchen. They see a big bowl on the table. It has flour and eggs and milk in it. Mommy is making a cake. She is not in the kitchen right now. She is in the living room. + +"Let's take a picture of the cake mix!" Lily says. She puts the camera around her neck and climbs on a chair. She points the camera at the bowl. + +"Wait, wait!" Sam says. He has an idea. He grabs a spoon and runs to the bowl. He stirs the mix very fast. He makes it splash and bubble. "Now it looks more fun!" he says. + +Lily laughs. She likes Sam's idea. She presses the button on the camera. The camera makes a flash and a click. They take a picture of the messy mix. + +"Look, look!" Lily says. She shows Sam the picture on the camera. It is a white and yellow blob. They giggle. + +Mommy comes back to the kitchen. She sees the bowl and the spoon and the picture. She is not happy. She frowns. + +"What did you do?" she asks. + +"We took a picture of the cake mix!" Lily and Sam say. + +Mommy sighs. She is not mad, but she is not pleased. She takes the camera and the bowl. She cleans the table and the chair. She says, "Next time, ask me before you play with the camera. And don't mix the cake mix. It is not a toy. It is for eating." + +Lily and Sam nod. They are sorry. They hug Mommy and say, "We love you, Mommy. And we love cake." + +Mommy smiles. She says, "I love you, too. And I love cake, too. But we have to wait until it is baked. Then we can eat it and take a picture of it. How does that sound?" + +Lily and Sam clap. They say, "That sounds great, Mommy. We can't wait!" +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big log. They want to balance on the log. + +"Look, Anna, I can balance on the log!" Ben says. He walks on the log with his arms out. He is careful not to fall. + +"Wow, Ben, you are good at balancing!" Anna says. She wants to try too. She climbs on the log behind Ben. She walks on the log with her arms out. She is careful not to fall. + +They are having fun balancing on the log. They pretend they are walking on a bridge over a river. They make sounds of water and birds. + +But then, a dog comes. The dog is friendly. He wants to play with Anna and Ben. He barks and runs to the log. He jumps on the log with his paws. + +"Whoa, dog, be careful!" Ben says. He tries to balance with the dog on the log. But the dog is too big and too fast. He pushes Ben off the log. Ben falls on the grass. + +"Ouch, dog, that hurts!" Ben says. He is not hurt, but he is surprised. + +Anna laughs. She thinks it is funny. She tries to balance with the dog on the log. But the dog is too big and too fast. He pushes Anna off the log. Anna falls on the grass. + +"Hey, dog, that is not fair!" Anna says. She is not hurt, but she is annoyed. + +The dog wags his tail. He thinks it is a game. He jumps off the log and runs to Anna and Ben. He licks their faces. He wants to say sorry. + +Anna and Ben giggle. They are not mad at the dog. They think he is cute. They pet his fur. They give him a hug. + +They are happy. They have a new friend. They have a funny event. They go back to the log. They balance on the log with the dog. They are careful not to fall. They are having fun. +Sara and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to look for bugs and flowers. They saw a big green caterpillar on a leaf. Sara wanted to hold it, but Ben wanted to hold it too. + +"Let me have it!" Sara said. + +"No, it's mine!" Ben said. + +They both pulled on the leaf and the caterpillar fell on the ground. + +"Oh no!" Sara and Ben said. + +They looked at the caterpillar. It was not happy. It curled up into a ball. + +A bird flew down from a tree. It saw the caterpillar and wanted to eat it. + +"Look out!" Sara and Ben said. + +They ran to the caterpillar and scared the bird away. + +"Are you okay?" Sara asked the caterpillar. + +The caterpillar uncurled and nodded. + +"Thank you," it said. + +Sara and Ben were surprised. They did not know caterpillars could talk. + +"Who are you?" Ben asked. + +"I am a wise caterpillar," it said. "I know many things. But I also need a friend. Will you be my friends?" + +Sara and Ben smiled. + +"Yes, we will be your friends," they said. + +"Then can you share me?" the caterpillar asked. + +Sara and Ben looked at each other. They felt sorry for being mean to the caterpillar. + +"Of course we can share you," they said. + +They each took one end of the leaf and lifted the caterpillar gently. + +They carried the caterpillar to a nice spot under a flower. They sat with the caterpillar and listened to its stories. + +They learned a lot from the wise caterpillar. And they learned to share. +Lila and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big tree with many brown things on the ground. "What are these?" Lila asked. "They are acorns," Tom said. "They come from the tree. Squirrels like to eat them." + +Lila picked up an acorn and looked at it. It was hard and smooth. She saw a hole in it. She looked inside and saw something purple. "Wow, look at this!" she said. "There is something purple in the acorn. Maybe it is a jewel." She showed it to Tom. + +Tom looked at the acorn and the purple thing. He touched it and felt something wet. He smelled it and made a face. "Yuck, this is not a jewel," he said. "This is a worm. A purple worm. It is eating the acorn. Put it down, Lila. It is gross." + +Lila dropped the acorn and the worm. She felt scared and sad. She did not like worms. She did not like purple worms. She wanted to go home. She started to cry. "Don't cry, Lila," Tom said. "It is okay. The worm will not hurt you. It is just a worm. Let's go and play something else. Let's go and swing." + +Tom took Lila's hand and led her to the swings. He helped her get on a swing and pushed her gently. Lila felt the wind in her hair and the sun on her face. She forgot about the acorn and the worm. She smiled and laughed. She liked to swing. She liked Tom. They had fun in the park. +Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They saw a big pile of leaves and sticks. Lily said, "Let's make a fire with these. Fire is beautiful and warm." + +Tom said, "No, we can't. Fire is dangerous and bad. It can burn us and the house. Mom and Dad will be angry. We should leave the leaves and sticks alone. They will rot and make the soil good for the flowers." + +Lily did not listen to Tom. She took a match from the kitchen and lit the pile of leaves and sticks. She saw the fire grow and flicker. She said, "Look, Tom, how beautiful the fire is. It makes the leaves and sticks glow and crackle." + +Tom was scared. He saw the fire get bigger and bigger. He saw the smoke go up in the air. He smelled the fire and the rot. He said, "Lily, stop! The fire is too big. It will spread and hurt us and the garden. We have to put it out. Help me, Lily, help me!" + +Lily was sorry. She saw that Tom was right. The fire was not beautiful and warm. It was dangerous and bad. She helped Tom to get water from the hose and pour it on the fire. They worked hard to put out the fire. They were wet and dirty and sad. + +Mom and Dad came home and saw the mess. They were angry and worried. They asked Lily and Tom what happened. Lily and Tom told them the truth. They said they were sorry and they learned their lesson. Mom and Dad hugged them and said they loved them. They said they were glad they were safe and they forgave them. They said they had to clean up the garden and be careful with fire. They said fire can be beautiful and warm, but only when it is used in the right way and in the right place. +Lily liked frogs a lot. She had many frog toys and books. She wanted to see a real frog. One day, her dad took her to a pond. There, she saw many frogs. They were green and brown and jumped in the water. + +"Look, Lily, this is a tadpole," her dad said, pointing to a small fish-like creature. "It will grow into a frog one day." + +"Wow, really?" Lily asked. "How does it grow?" + +"It grows legs and arms and a mouth and eyes. It takes some time, but it changes a lot," her dad explained. + +Lily thought that was amazing. She wanted to watch the tadpoles grow. She asked her dad if she could take one home. Her dad said yes, but only if she took good care of it. He gave her a jar and helped her catch a tadpole. + +Lily was very happy. She named her tadpole Poppy. She put the jar in her room and gave Poppy some water and food every day. She talked to Poppy and sang to her. She showed Poppy to her friends. Poppy was very popular. + +Every day, Lily looked for changes in Poppy. She saw Poppy grow bigger and longer. She saw Poppy grow tiny legs and arms. She saw Poppy grow a mouth and eyes. She saw Poppy lose her tail. She saw Poppy turn into a frog. + +Lily was very proud of Poppy. She loved her frog. She knew Poppy was happy too. Poppy croaked and jumped in the jar. Lily decided to take Poppy back to the pond. She wanted Poppy to meet other frogs and have fun. + +Lily and her dad went to the pond. Lily said goodbye to Poppy and let her go. Poppy swam and hopped with the other frogs. Lily smiled and waved. She knew Poppy would always be her friend. +Lila and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to go on the swings, the slide and the seesaw. They had a lot of fun. + +But then, Lila saw a big dog. It was black and brown and had sharp teeth. It was barking loud and running fast. Lila was fearful of the dog. She ran to Ben and hugged him. + +"Ben, Ben, help me! The dog is scary!" she cried. + +Ben looked at the dog. He was not fearful of the dog. He liked dogs. He thought the dog was friendly and wanted to play. + +"Lila, don't be fearful. The dog is nice. Come, let's seat on the bench and pet the dog," he said. + +He took Lila's hand and walked to the bench. The dog followed them. It wagged its tail and licked their faces. Lila and Ben laughed. They seat on the bench and pet the dog. The dog was soft and warm. + +But then, Lila felt a pain in her finger. She looked and saw a bee. It had stung her. She screamed and cried. + +"Ben, Ben, help me! The bee is mean! It hurt me!" she sobbed. + +Ben looked at the bee. He was not fearful of the bee. He knew bees made honey. He thought the bee was sorry and flew away. + +"Lila, don't be fearful. The bee is gone. Come, let's go to the nurse and get a band-aid," he said. + +He took Lila's hand and walked to the nurse. The nurse was kind and gentle. She gave Lila a band-aid and a lollipop. Lila and Ben smiled. They thanked the nurse and went back to the park. They had a lot of fun. +Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to look for bugs and flowers. They saw a big green cricket on a leaf. Tom wanted to catch it and put it in a jar. + +"Look, Lily, a cricket! Let's catch it!" Tom said. + +He ran to the leaf and tried to grab the cricket. But the cricket was fast and jumped away. It jumped over Tom's head and landed on Lily's hair. + +Lily felt something tickle her ear. She screamed and shook her head. The cricket jumped off and hid under a rock. + +"Tom, that was a dangerous cricket! It scared me!" Lily said. + +Tom felt sorry for Lily. He hugged her and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I didn't know the cricket would jump on you. Are you okay?" + +Lily nodded and smiled. She said, "I'm okay, Tom. But next time, let's look for butterflies. They are pretty and don't jump." +Sam and Lily were best friends. They liked to play together at the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. Sometimes they joined a group of other kids to play tag or hide and seek. + +One day, they saw a big dog at the park. The dog was brown and furry. It had a long tail and a wet nose. The dog looked friendly, but Sam and Lily did not know it. They wanted to pet the dog, but they remembered what their mommies told them. + +"Never touch a dog you don't know," their mommies said. "Some dogs might bite or bark. Always ask the owner first." + +Sam and Lily looked around for the owner, but they did not see anyone. The dog was alone. They stayed alert and kept their distance. They did not want to make the dog angry or scared. + +"Let's go play somewhere else," Sam said to Lily. + +"OK," Lily said. "But what if the dog follows us?" + +"Then we will yell for help," Sam said. "Maybe someone will hear us and come." + +They walked away from the dog, holding hands. They reminded each other to be careful and brave. They hoped the dog would find its owner soon. They also hoped to make some new friends at the park. +Anna was a daughter who liked to seat on the big chair in the living room. She liked to seat there and look at the books and the toys on the shelf. She liked to seat there and pretend she was a princess or a teacher or a doctor. + +One day, Anna came home from the park and wanted to seat on the big chair. But when she got to the living room, she saw her brother Tom seat on the big chair. He was playing with his cars and trucks and did not want to move. + +"Tom, please let me seat on the big chair," Anna said. "I want to seat there and look at the books and the toys." + +"No, Anna, I was here first," Tom said. "You can seat on the small chair or the sofa or the floor. The big chair is mine." + +Anna felt sad. She did not want to seat on the small chair or the sofa or the floor. She wanted to seat on the big chair. She started to cry and ran to her mom. + +"Mom, Tom won't let me seat on the big chair," Anna said. "He says it is his and I can't seat there. He is not nice." + +Mom hugged Anna and wiped her tears. She said, "I'm sorry, Anna, that Tom is not sharing the big chair with you. That is not nice. But you know what? You are a very nice daughter and I love you very much. How about we seat on the sofa together and read a book or play a game? Would you like that?" + +Anna nodded and smiled. She said, "Yes, Mom, I would like that. Thank you, Mom. You are the best." + +Mom and Anna seat on the sofa and read a book and played a game. They had fun and laughed and hugged. Anna forgot about the big chair and was happy. Tom saw them and felt a little sorry. He said, "Mom, Anna, can I seat with you too?" + +Mom and Anna looked at Tom and smiled. They said, "Of course, Tom, you can seat with us too. We are a family and we love you too." + +Tom seat on the sofa with Mom and Anna and they read another book and played another game. They had more fun and laughed and hugged. They all forgot about the big chair and were happy. The end. +Sara was excited to go to the park with her mom. She liked to play on the swings, the slide and the sandbox. She also liked to see the ducks and the squirrels that lived near the pond. + +When they got to the park, Sara saw a boy with a big red balloon. He was holding it by a string and making it go up and down. Sara wanted to play with the balloon too. She ran to the boy and said, "Hi, I'm Sara. Can I see your balloon?" + +The boy smiled and said, "Hi, I'm Ben. Sure, you can see my balloon. Do you want to hold it?" He gave Sara the string and she held the balloon. It was light and round and shiny. Sara felt happy. + +"Thank you, Ben. Your balloon is very nice. How did you get it?" Sara asked. + +Ben pointed to a man who was selling balloons near the gate. "He gave it to me. He said I was a good boy. He also showed me a trick. Do you want to see it?" Ben asked. + +Sara nodded. She liked tricks. Ben took his thumb and bent it behind his hand. He said, "Look, I can take off my thumb!" He moved his hand and made it look like his thumb was gone. Sara gasped. She thought it was magic. + +"Wow, how did you do that?" Sara asked. + +Ben laughed and said, "It's a secret. But I can show you. It's easy. You just need to hide your thumb like this." He showed Sara how to bend her thumb and move her hand. Sara tried to do the same. She looked at her hand and saw that her thumb was gone. She giggled. + +"I did it! I did it! I can take off my thumb too!" Sara said. + +Ben and Sara clapped their hands and hugged each other. They became friends. They played with the balloon and showed each other their thumb tricks. They had a lot of fun at the park. +Sara and Ben like to play in the garden. They help their mom plant seeds and water them. They watch the seeds grow into flowers and vegetables. + +One day, Sara sees a small red radish poking out of the dirt. She pulls it out and shows it to Ben. + +"Look, Ben, I found a radish!" she says. + +"Wow, Sara, it is so small and red!" Ben says. "Can I hold it?" + +Sara gives the radish to Ben. He holds it in his hand and shakes it. + +"Why are you shaking it, Ben?" Sara asks. + +"I want to see if it makes a sound," Ben says. + +He shakes the radish harder and harder, but it does not make any sound. It only gets dirtier and softer. + +"Ben, stop shaking the radish!" Sara says. "You are ruining it!" + +Sara tries to take the radish back from Ben, but he does not let go. They tug and pull and fight over the radish. + +Their mom hears them and comes to the garden. She sees them fighting and the radish in pieces. + +"What are you doing, Sara and Ben?" she asks. "Why are you fighting over a radish?" + +Sara and Ben stop fighting and look at their mom. They feel ashamed and sorry. + +"We wanted to see the radish, mom," Sara says. + +"But Ben shook it too hard, mom," Ben says. + +Their mom picks up the radish and throws it in the compost bin. + +"That was not a nice way to treat the radish, Sara and Ben," she says. "The radish was a gift from the earth, and you should respect it and enjoy it. Next time, if you want to see the radish, you can wash it and cut it and eat it. It is good for you and tasty. Do you understand?" + +Sara and Ben nod their heads and say sorry. + +"We understand, mom," they say. + +Their mom hugs them and smiles. + +"Good, Sara and Ben," she says. "Now, let's go and see what else we can find in the garden." +Lila and Ben were at the beach with their mom and dad. They liked to play in the sand and look for shells. But today, the sky was gray and the wind was cold. Lila and Ben felt miserable. + +"Can we go home, mom?" Lila asked. "I don't like the beach today." + +"Me neither," Ben said. "The water is too loud and scary." + +Mom and dad looked at each other. They wanted to cheer up their children. They had an idea. + +"Let's go for a walk along the shore," dad said. "Maybe we can find something fun to do." + +Lila and Ben followed their parents. They saw some birds, some crabs, and some rocks. They also saw a big stick on the ground. + +"Look, Ben, a stick!" Lila said. "We can use it to draw in the sand." + +Lila picked up the stick and started to make shapes and letters. Ben joined her. They forgot about the cold and the noise. They were having fun. + +Suddenly, a big wave came and washed away their drawings. Lila and Ben gasped. They were sad. + +"Hey, don't be sad," dad said. "The wave was just playing with you. It wanted to see your drawings too." + +"Really?" Lila asked. + +"Sure," dad said. "And you know what? You can make new drawings anytime you want. The sand is always there for you to draw on. You just have to keep trying." + +Lila and Ben smiled. They liked that idea. They decided to keep drawing in the sand. They also decided to wave at the waves, as if they were friends. The waves waved back. Lila and Ben felt happy. They liked the beach again. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the snow. They make a big igloo with snow blocks. They go inside the igloo and pretend it is their home. + +"Look, Tom, I have a snowball!" Mia says. She makes a round ball with snow in her hands. + +"Me too, Mia, me too!" Tom says. He makes a snowball too. They laugh and smile. + +They want to have fun. They throw the snowballs at each other. They duck and dodge. They giggle and shout. + +But then, Tom sees a chubby bird on a tree. It is red and black. It sings a nice song. Tom likes the bird. He wants to say hello. + +He forgets about the snowball in his hand. He runs to the tree. He says, "Hi, bird, hi!" + +But the bird is scared. It sees the snowball. It thinks Tom wants to hurt it. It flies away. + +Tom is sad. He drops the snowball. He says, "No, bird, no! I just want to be your friend!" + +Mia sees Tom. She feels sorry for him. She runs to him. She says, "It's okay, Tom, it's okay. The bird doesn't know you. Maybe it will come back later." + +She hugs him. She says, "Let's go back to the igloo. It is warm and cozy. We can have more fun there." + +Tom nods. He smiles. He says, "Okay, Mia, okay. You are a good friend." + +They hold hands. They go back to the igloo. They play some more. They are happy. +Sam and Mia were twins who liked to play games. One day, they decided to play catch with a ball in their bedroom. They threw the ball to each other and tried not to drop it. + +"Pass me the ball, Sam!" Mia said. + +"Here you go, Mia!" Sam said and passed the ball to her. + +Mia caught the ball and smiled. She passed it back to Sam. They had fun passing the ball. + +But then, Sam threw the ball too hard and it hit the lamp. The lamp fell and broke. The twins heard a loud noise and saw the glass on the floor. + +"Oh no!" Sam and Mia said. + +They heard their mom coming up the stairs. They were scared. They did not want to get in trouble. + +"Sam, Mia, what happened?" their mom asked. + +She saw the broken lamp and the ball. She was not happy. + +"Sam and Mia, you know you are not supposed to play with the ball in your bedroom. You could have hurt yourselves or damaged something. Why did you do that?" she asked. + +Sam and Mia looked at each other. They did not know what to say. They felt sorry. + +"We are sorry, mom. We just wanted to play catch. We did not mean to break the lamp. It was an accident." Sam said. + +"Yeah, we are sorry, mom. We like the lamp. It is brilliant. It makes our bedroom bright and cozy." Mia said. + +Their mom sighed. She was not angry anymore. She was glad they were not hurt. She hugged them and said. + +"I know you are sorry, Sam and Mia. And I know you like the lamp. It was a gift from your grandma. But you have to be careful with your toys and your things. Playing catch is fun, but not in your bedroom. Next time, play outside or in the living room, okay?" + +"Okay, mom. We will." Sam and Mia said. + +Their mom smiled and said. + +"Good. Now, help me clean up the mess and then we can have some cookies and milk. How does that sound?" + +"Yay! Cookies and milk!" Sam and Mia said. + +They helped their mom clean up the glass and the lamp. Then they went downstairs and had some cookies and milk. They learned their lesson and did not play with the ball in their bedroom again. They still played catch, but in a safer place. And they still loved their brilliant lamp, even if it was broken. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of fun making noises and pretending to be animals. Lily had a doll and Ben had a fireman. He liked to make the fireman save the doll from danger. + +"Help, help!" Lily said, making her doll cry. "The fire is too big and hot!" + +"Don't worry, doll!" Ben said, making his fireman run. "I will put out the fire with water and take you to a safe place!" + +He used a bottle to spray water on the couch, where he imagined the fire was. He picked up the doll and put her on the fireman's truck. + +"You are fine now, doll!" he said. "You are very brave and strong!" + +Lily smiled and hugged her doll. She thanked Ben and his fireman for saving her. They decided to play something else. + +But then they heard their mom calling them from the kitchen. + +"Lily, Ben, time for lunch!" she said. "Come and wash your hands!" + +Lily and Ben did not want to stop playing. They liked their toys and their game. They ignored their mom and kept playing. + +Their mom called them again, louder. + +"Lily, Ben, I said time for lunch!" she said. "Come here right now!" + +Lily and Ben still ignored their mom. They thought she would not mind if they played a little longer. + +But their mom did mind. She was angry and worried. She came to the living room and saw them playing with water and the couch. + +"What are you doing?" she asked. "You made a mess and you ignored me! That is not nice!" + +Lily and Ben felt sorry. They did not mean to make their mom angry. They loved their mom and they knew she loved them. + +They put away their toys and said sorry to their mom. They hugged her and said they would listen to her next time. + +Their mom forgave them and smiled. She hugged them back and said she was glad they were fine. She took them to the kitchen and gave them lunch. They ate and talked and laughed. They were happy. +One day, Ben and Lily were playing knights and dragons in the garden. Ben had a shield and a sword, and Lily had a cape and a mask. They ran around the trees and bushes, pretending to fight and roar. + +"Roar! I am a big dragon and I will eat you, knight!" Lily said, jumping out from behind a flower. + +"Oh no, you are very scary, dragon!" Ben said, holding his shield in front of him. "But I am brave and strong, and I will protect the castle!" + +They chased each other for a while, having fun and laughing. But then, something bad happened. Ben tripped over a rock and fell down. His shield hit his head and his sword scratched his arm. He cried out loud, feeling hurt. + +Lily heard him and ran to him. She saw the blood on his arm and the bump on his head. She felt sorry for him and hugged him. + +"I'm sorry, Ben, I didn't mean to make you fall. Are you okay?" she asked, worried. + +Ben sniffed and nodded. He was still hurt, but he was glad that Lily was nice to him. + +"It's okay, Lily, it was an accident. You are a good dragon, not a mean one. Can you help me get up?" he asked, smiling a little. + +Lily nodded and helped him get up. She took off her cape and wrapped it around his arm. She also kissed his head gently. + +"There, that will make you feel better. Do you want to go inside and get a band-aid?" she asked. + +Ben nodded and they walked inside, holding hands. They were still friends, even after the game. They decided to play something else later, something that would not make them fall or get hurt. Maybe they would play tea party or dress up. They liked playing together, no matter what. +Anna and Ben were going to visit Grandma and Grandpa. They had to pack their bags with clothes and toys. Anna wanted to pack her doll and her book. Ben wanted to pack his car and his ball. + +"Can I pack an apple too?" Anna asked Mom. "I like apples. They are red and sweet and good for me." + +"Sure, you can pack an apple," Mom said. "But you have to eat it on the way. We don't want it to get bad in your bag." + +Anna nodded and put an apple in her bag. She zipped it up and put it by the door. Ben did the same with his bag and his apple. + +"Are you ready to go?" Dad asked. He picked up the bags and put them in the car. Anna and Ben ran to the car and got in their seats. They buckled their belts and smiled. + +"We are ready, Dad!" they said. "We are going to have fun with Grandma and Grandpa. They are mighty nice and they love us very much." +Anna liked to play in the garden. She liked to see the flowers and the bugs. She liked to smell the roses and touch the grass. But she did not like the bees. The bees were loud and scary. They had sharp things that could hurt her. + +One day, Anna was playing in the garden with her ball. She threw the ball high in the air and caught it. She was happy and laughed. But then she saw a bee. The bee was flying near her ball. Anna was afraid. She wanted to get her ball, but she did not want to go near the bee. + +"Mommy, mommy, help me!" Anna cried. "There is a bee by my ball!" + +Mommy heard Anna and came to the garden. She saw Anna and the bee. She was not afraid of the bee. She knew the bee was not bad. The bee was just looking for flowers. + +"Anna, don't worry. The bee is not going to hurt you. The bee is just busy. The bee is looking for nectar. Nectar is sweet and good for the bee. The bee makes honey from the nectar. Honey is sweet and good for us. The bee is our friend," Mommy said. + +Anna looked at Mommy and the bee. She did not understand. She was still scared. She wanted her ball. + +"Mommy, can you get my ball?" Anna asked. + +Mommy nodded. She walked slowly to the ball. She did not run. She did not wave her arms. She did not make noise. She was calm and gentle. The bee saw Mommy and flew away. Mommy picked up the ball and gave it to Anna. + +"Here you go, Anna. Your ball is safe. The bee is gone. You can play again," Mommy said. + +Anna hugged Mommy and thanked her. She took her ball and smiled. She was not troubled anymore. She was happy and brave. She played in the garden with her ball. She saw the flowers and the bugs. She saw the bee again. She did not cry. She said hello to the bee. The bee said hello to her. The bee was her friend. +Lily and Sam like to sing songs. They have a toy microphone that makes their voices loud. They take turns to sing and clap for each other. + +One day, they are singing in the living room when Mom comes in. She looks angry and says, "Stop! Stop that noise! You are too loud and it is cold outside. You will catch a cold if you keep the window open. Put on your coats and go play in the park." + +Lily and Sam are sad. They do not want to stop singing. They like their microphone. They do not think it is cold. They say, "But Mom, we are having fun. We are not noisy. We are singing. Please let us sing." + +Mom shakes her head and says, "No, you have to stop. You have been singing for too long. You need some fresh air and exercise. The microphone is not good for your throat. You can sing later when you come back. Now, hurry up and get ready." + +Lily and Sam sigh and put down their microphone. They put on their coats and shoes and follow Mom to the door. They hope they can sing again soon. They love their microphone. +Tom liked to paint. He had many colors and brushes. He painted on paper, on walls, on his face. He painted everything he saw. + +One day, he saw a cord on the floor. It was long and black and had a plug at the end. He wondered what it was for. He picked it up and looked at it. He felt confused. + +He decided to paint the cord. He dipped his brush in red paint and made stripes on the cord. He thought it looked pretty. He smiled and said, "Look, Mom, I painted the cord!" + +Mom came into the room and saw the cord. She gasped and dropped her cup. She ran to Tom and took the cord from his hand. She said, "No, Tom, no! This is a bad cord. It has electricity. It can hurt you. You can't paint the cord. You can only paint on paper or walls or your face. Do you understand?" + +Tom nodded and said, "Sorry, Mom. I didn't know. I won't paint the cord again. I'll paint something else." He looked around and saw his cat. He said, "Can I paint the cat?" + +Mom sighed and said, "No, Tom, no. You can't paint the cat. The cat doesn't like paint. It can make her sick. You can only paint things that don't mind paint. Do you understand?" + +Tom nodded and said, "Sorry, Mom. I didn't know. I'll paint something else." He looked around and saw his toy car. He said, "Can I paint the car?" + +Mom smiled and said, "Yes, Tom, yes. You can paint the car. The car doesn't care about paint. It can make it look fun. You can paint the car any color you want. Do you understand?" + +Tom nodded and said, "Yes, Mom. I understand. I'll paint the car. Thank you, Mom." He hugged Mom and took his car and his paint. He painted the car blue and yellow and green. He was happy. He said, "Look, Mom, I painted the car!" + +Mom hugged Tom and said, "Good job, Tom. You painted the car very well. I'm proud of you. You are a good painter. I love you, Tom." + +Tom said, "I love you, Mom." He showed Mom his car and his paint. They laughed and played. They had fun. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big hill with flowers and grass. They wanted to go up the hill and see what was on the other side. + +"Come on, Lily, let's climb the hill!" Tom said. + +"OK, Tom, let's go!" Lily said. + +They ran up the hill, holding hands. They felt the wind in their hair and the sun on their faces. They were happy and excited. They reached the top of the hill and looked around. + +"Wow, look at that!" Tom said. + +He pointed to a sight that made them both gasp. They saw a lake with blue water and white ducks. They saw a bridge with red and yellow balloons. They saw a tent with a sign that said "Circus". + +"Can we go there, Tom? Can we see the circus?" Lily asked. + +"Of course, Lily, let's go!" Tom said. + +They ran down the hill, towards the lake and the bridge and the tent. They were so eager to see the circus that they did not notice a big rock on the path. Tom tripped over the rock and fell down. He scraped his knee and it hurt a lot. He started to cry. + +"Tom, are you OK?" Lily asked. + +She knelt down next to him and hugged him. She saw the blood on his knee and felt sorry for him. + +"I'm sorry, Lily, I can't go to the circus. My knee hurts too much. I'm not fit to walk." Tom said. + +"Don't worry, Tom, I'll help you. We can still go to the circus. I'll get you a band-aid and a stick. You can lean on me and the stick. We'll go slowly and carefully. You'll be fine." Lily said. + +She was a good friend and a brave girl. She found a band-aid in her pocket and a stick on the ground. She put the band-aid on Tom's knee and gave him the stick. She held his hand and helped him stand up. + +"Thank you, Lily, you're the best. I'm sorry I made you miss the circus." Tom said. + +"You didn't make me miss the circus, Tom. We're still going to the circus. We're going together. We're a team." Lily said. + +They smiled at each other and walked towards the lake and the bridge and the tent. They were happy and excited again. They saw the circus and had a lot of fun. They saw clowns and lions and elephants. They ate popcorn and cotton candy. They laughed and cheered. They forgot about the rock and the knee and the pain. They only remembered the sight and the friend and the joy. +Tim and Sam were friends who liked to play with boats. They had many toy boats, but their favorite was a big yacht. It was white and shiny, and had a red flag on top. + +One day, they took their yacht to the pond in the park. They wanted to see how fast it could go. They put it in the water and pushed it with a stick. The yacht sailed away, making waves. + +"Look, Tim, our yacht is so fast!" Sam said. + +"Yes, it is, Sam. It is the best boat ever!" Tim said. + +But then, the wind became strong and the pond became rough. The yacht bounced up and down, and water splashed on it. Tim and Sam were worried. + +"Oh no, Tim, the pond is too rough for our yacht!" Sam said. + +"Quick, Sam, we have to get it back!" Tim said. + +They ran along the edge of the pond, trying to catch up with their yacht. But it was too far and too fast. They saw it hit a rock and flip over. They heard a loud crack. + +"Ouch, Tim, our yacht is broken!" Sam said. + +They reached the rock and picked up their yacht. It had a big mark on its side, and the flag was torn. + +"Aw, Sam, our yacht is ruined!" Tim said. + +They felt sad and hugged their yacht. They wished they had not played with it in the rough pond. They decided to take it home and try to fix it. They hoped it would sail again. They still loved their yacht. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park with their dolls. They liked to pretend that their dolls were going on adventures. Lily had a leather bag that she used to carry her doll's things. Tom had a plastic box that he used to store his doll's tools. + +"Let's go to the jungle," Lily suggested. "We can see the monkeys and the birds and the snakes." + +Tom nodded. He liked the jungle. He took out his doll's binoculars and his doll's hat from his box. Lily took out her doll's camera and her doll's water bottle from her bag. + +They walked to a big tree and pretended that it was the jungle. They made noises like the animals and looked around with their doll's binoculars and camera. + +But then they heard a loud roar. It was not a pretend roar. It was a real roar. It came from behind the tree. They felt anxious. They did not know what it was. + +"Maybe it's a lion," Tom whispered. "Or a tiger. Or a bear." + +Lily whispered back. "We have to hide. Quick, get in my bag. It's leather. It's strong. It can protect us." + +Tom agreed. He put his box and his doll inside Lily's bag. Lily put her doll inside too. Then they zipped up the bag and waited. + +They heard the roar again. It was closer. They heard footsteps. They heard sniffing. They heard scratching. They felt the bag move. + +They were very scared. They held each other and their dolls. They hoped that the animal would go away. + +But then they heard a voice. It was not an animal voice. It was a human voice. It was a familiar voice. + +"Hey, kids, what are you doing in there?" It was Lily's dad. He had come to pick them up from the park. He had seen their bag under the tree and thought it was strange. He had opened it and found them inside. + +Lily and Tom were relieved. They unzipped the bag and came out. They hugged Lily's dad. + +"Dad, you scared us," Lily said. "We thought you were a lion or a tiger or a bear." + +Lily's dad laughed. "No, I'm not a lion or a tiger or a bear. I'm just your dad. And I'm here to take you home. Come on, let's go." + +Lily and Tom packed their dolls and their things. They said goodbye to the park and the tree and the jungle. They followed Lily's dad to the car. + +They were happy. They had had a fun adventure. And they had learned a new word: leather. +Anna loved to play with her guitar. She liked to make sounds with it and sing songs. She had a blue guitar with yellow stars on it. It was her favorite toy. + +One day, Anna went to the park with her mom and dad. She brought her guitar with her. She wanted to show it to her friends. She saw Ben and Lily playing with a ball. She ran to them and said, "Hi, Ben and Lily! Look at my guitar! Do you want to play with me?" + +Ben and Lily looked at Anna's guitar. They liked it too. They said, "Wow, Anna, your guitar is very pretty! Can we try it?" + +Anna was happy to share her guitar. She gave it to Ben first. Ben strummed the strings and made a loud noise. He said, "This is fun!" + +Then he gave it to Lily. Lily held the guitar and sang a song. She said, "This is nice!" + +Then Lily gave it back to Anna. Anna smiled and said, "Thank you for playing with my guitar. You are very honest and kind friends." + +But then, something bad happened. A big boy came to the park. He saw Anna's guitar and wanted it. He ran to Anna and grabbed her guitar. He said, "This is mine now!" + +Anna was very sad and scared. She said, "No, no, no! That is my guitar! Give it back!" + +Ben and Lily were angry and brave. They said, "Hey, big boy, that is not your guitar! That is Anna's guitar! You are very mean and rude!" + +They tried to get the guitar back from the big boy. But the big boy was stronger and faster. He pushed them away and ran with the guitar. + +Anna, Ben and Lily cried and shouted. They wanted the guitar back. They needed help. + +Then, a surprise happened. A man appeared in the park. He was wearing a hat and a coat. He had a big beard and a big smile. He said, "Hello, children! What is the matter?" + +Anna, Ben and Lily told him what happened. They said, "A big boy took Anna's guitar. He ran away with it. He was very mean and rude. We want the guitar back. Can you help us?" + +The man nodded and said, "Of course I can help you. I know who that big boy is. He is my son. He is very naughty and greedy. He likes to take things that are not his. But I will teach him a lesson. Come with me." + +The man took Anna, Ben and Lily to his car. He drove to his house. He said, "Don't worry, children. I will get your guitar back. And I will make my son say sorry to you." + +He went inside his house and found his son. He saw the guitar in his son's hands. He said, "Son, what have you done? You took this guitar from a little girl in the park. That is very wrong and bad. You have to give it back and apologize. Now!" + +His son was scared and ashamed. He said, "I'm sorry, dad. I'm sorry, Anna. I was selfish and stupid. I will give you your guitar back. Please forgive me." + +He gave the guitar back to Anna. Anna was happy and relieved. She said, "Thank you, big boy. Thank you, man. I forgive you. But don't do that again. That is not nice." + +The man hugged his son and said, "I'm sorry, too, Anna. I'm sorry, Ben and Lily. My son made a mistake. But he learned his lesson. He will be more honest and kind from now on. Right, son?" + +His son nodded and said, "Yes, dad. I will be more honest and kind from now on. I promise." + +The man smiled and said, "That's good, son. I'm proud of you. And I'm proud of you, Anna, Ben and Lily. You are very brave and sweet. You are good friends. Do you want to stay for a snack?" + +Anna, Ben and Lily said, "Yes, please! Thank you, man!" + +They all went to the kitchen and had some cookies and milk. They talked and laughed and played. They became friends. They were happy. +Tommy was sick. He had a fever and a cough. Mommy said he had to stay in bed and drink soup. She put a thermometer in his mouth to see how hot he was. Tommy did not like the thermometer. It was hard and cold and made him gag. + +Lily was Tommy's sister. She was not sick. She wanted to play with Tommy, but Mommy said no. She said Tommy needed to rest and not share his germs. Lily was jealous. She wanted Mommy's attention and the thermometer. She thought the thermometer was a toy. + +When Mommy went to the kitchen to get more soup, Lily sneaked into Tommy's room. She saw the thermometer on the nightstand. She grabbed it and ran to her room. She put it in her mouth and pretended to be sick. + +"Look, Mommy, I have a fever too!" she shouted. + +Mommy heard her and came to her room. She saw the thermometer in Lily's mouth and frowned. + +"Lily, that's not nice. You took Tommy's thermometer. He needs it to check his fever. You don't have a fever. You're just jealous. Give it back to him right now and say sorry." + +Lily felt ashamed. She knew she did a bad thing. She took the thermometer out of her mouth and gave it to Mommy. She followed her to Tommy's room and said sorry to him. + +"I'm sorry, Tommy. I was jealous. I wanted to play with you and Mommy. I hope you feel better soon." + +Tommy smiled weakly. He was still sick, but he was not angry. He loved his sister. + +"It's okay, Lily. I love you. Maybe we can play tomorrow if I'm better." + +Mommy hugged them both. She was proud of them for making up. + +"That's very sweet of you, Tommy. And I'm glad you apologized, Lily. I love you both. Now, let's see how your fever is, Tommy. And Lily, you can help me make some cookies for him later." +One day, Ben and Lily went to the park with their mom. They saw a big slide and wanted to try it. Ben went first. He climbed up the ladder and sat on the slide. He looked down and felt scared. He did not want to slide down. + +"Come on, Ben, it's fun!" Lily said. She was behind him on the ladder. She was not scared. She liked the slide. + +"No, no, I don't want to!" Ben said. He tried to go back up the ladder, but Lily pushed him. He slid down very fast and screamed. He landed on the ground and felt dizzy. + +Lily slid down after him and laughed. She thought it was funny. She did not see that Ben was crying. She did not see that his hair was full of sand and leaves. She did not see that some other kids were pointing and giggling at him. + +"Ben, are you okay?" Mom said. She ran to him and hugged him. She brushed off his hair and wiped his tears. She was not happy with Lily. She scolded her for pushing Ben. + +"I'm sorry, Ben, I didn't mean to scare you," Lily said. She felt bad. She did not want to hurt Ben. She wanted to play with him. + +"It's okay, Lily, I forgive you," Ben said. He smiled at her. He was not angry with her. He loved his sister. + +But he was still embarrassed. He did not like his hair. He did not like the other kids laughing at him. He wanted to go home. + +"Mom, can we go home now?" he asked. + +"Sure, Ben, let's go home," Mom said. She took their hands and walked with them. She kissed their heads and told them she loved them. + +They went home and had a snack. They played with their toys. They forgot about the slide and the park. They were happy. +Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big slide. They want to go on the slide. + +"Let's go on the slide!" Tom says. "It looks fun!" + +"Yes, let's go!" Sue says. "But we have to be quick. Mom will come soon." + +They run to the slide. But there is a problem. There is a boy on the slide. He does not want to share. He says, "This is my slide. Go away!" + +Tom and Sue are sad. They do not like the boy. He is mean. They want to go on the slide. + +"Please, can we go on the slide?" Tom asks. "We will be quick. We just want to try it." + +"No, you can't!" the boy says. "This is my slide. I will not share!" + +Tom and Sue do not know what to do. They look at each other. They have an idea. They are smart. + +"OK, we will not go on the slide," Sue says. "But can we play with your ball?" + +The boy has a ball. He likes his ball. He thinks Tom and Sue are silly. He says, "Sure, you can play with my ball. But you have to give it back." + +He gives them his ball. He smiles. He thinks he is smart. + +Tom and Sue take the ball. They run to the slide. They throw the ball on the slide. The ball rolls down. The boy sees the ball. He wants his ball. He runs after the ball. + +Tom and Sue go on the slide. They slide down. They laugh. They are happy. They are smart. + +They get the ball. They give it back to the boy. They say, "Thank you for the ball. And thank you for the slide." + +The boy is confused. He does not understand. He is not smart. + +Tom and Sue go to their mom. She is here. She says, "Did you have fun?" + +"Yes, we did!" Tom and Sue say. "We went on the slide. It was fun!" + +They hug their mom. They go home. They are smart and quick and nice. +Lila and Tom are eager to play with the new toy. It is a big box with a hole on top. Inside the box, there are many things that make noise when you shake them. Lila and Tom want to find out what they are. + +They take turns to shake the box and listen. They hear bells, rattles, balls, and coins. They laugh and clap their hands. They wonder what else is in the box. + +Lila reaches into the hole and feels something soft and furry. She pulls it out. It is a teddy bear with a red bow. She hugs it and says, "Look, Tom, I found a bear!" + +Tom reaches into the hole and feels something hard and round. He pulls it out. It is a wooden ball with a string. He tries to roll it on the floor, but it does not move. He looks at the string and sees a knot. He says, "Look, Lila, I found a ball!" + +Lila and Tom try to untie the knot, but it is too tight. They pull and twist, but it does not loosen. They get frustrated and start to cry. + +Their mom hears them and comes to see what is wrong. She sees the ball and the knot. She says, "Don't cry, Lila and Tom. I can help you. Let me see the ball." + +She takes the ball and the string. She uses her fingers to untie the knot. She says, "There you go. Now you can roll the ball and have fun." + +Lila and Tom stop crying and smile. They thank their mom and hug her. They roll the ball and play with the bear. They are happy and eager to shake the box again. They wonder what else is in the box. +Sara was a spoiled girl who always wanted new things. She had many toys, books, and clothes, but she was never happy. She always asked her mom and dad for more. + +One day, she saw a big wardrobe in her room. It was a gift from her grandma, who loved her very much. Sara opened the wardrobe and saw many beautiful dresses, hats, and shoes. She smiled and clapped her hands. + +"I want to try them all!" she said. She took out a dress and put it on. Then she took out a hat and put it on. Then she took out a pair of shoes and put them on. She looked at herself in the mirror and felt very pretty. + +She did the same with all the other clothes in the wardrobe. She made a big mess in her room. She did not care. She only cared about herself. + +She did not hear her mom calling her for dinner. She did not hear her dad knocking on the door. She did not hear her grandma asking her to come and say thank you. She only heard her own voice saying, "I want more, I want more!" + +She opened the last door of the wardrobe and saw a dark hole. She was curious and stepped inside. She felt a cold wind and saw snow and trees. She was in a different world. She was scared and wanted to go back. + +But she could not. The door of the wardrobe was gone. She was alone and lost. She started to cry and shout, "Help me, help me!" + +But no one heard her. No one came. She had become a spoiled girl who had lost everything. +Tom and Anna like to print pictures with their crayons. They have a big book with many pages of animals, flowers, cars and houses. They choose a page and print it on a white paper. Then they color it with their crayons. + +One day, they see a new page in the book. It has a big hill with a tree on top. The hill is green and the tree is brown. They think it is very pretty and want to print it. + +"Let's print the hill and the tree!" Tom says, enthusiastic. + +"Yes, let's do it!" Anna agrees, enthusiastic too. + +They take the book and the paper and go to the printer. They put the book on the printer and press the button. The printer makes a noise and prints the hill and the tree on the paper. + +"Wow, look!" Tom says, happy. + +"It's beautiful!" Anna says, happy too. + +They take the paper and the crayons and go to the table. They color the hill and the tree with their crayons. They make the hill darker green and the tree lighter brown.

Their mom and dad smile and say they did a great job. + +Tom and Anna are very happy. They love to print pictures with their crayons. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys and their dog, Max. One day, they find a big ball of wool in their mom's closet. It is soft and white and has many colors on it. + +"Look, Ben, wool!" Sara says. "We can make something with it. Maybe a scarf or a hat." + +"Or a toy for Max!" Ben says. "He likes to play with wool. He can hold it in his mouth and run with it." + +They take the wool and go to the living room. They try to make something with it, but it is hard. The wool gets tangled and messy. They do not know how to knit or crochet. + +"Maybe we need a needle or a hook," Sara says. "But mom says they are sharp and we can't touch them." + +"Maybe we can ask mom to help us," Ben says. "She knows how to make things with wool. She can show us how to do it." + +They go to the kitchen, where mom is making cookies. They show her the wool and ask her to help them. + +"Where did you get this wool, Sara and Ben?" mom asks. "This is my special wool. I was saving it for a fair. I wanted to make a sweater for grandma with it." + +Sara and Ben feel bad. They did not know the wool was special. They did not want to make mom angry or sad. + +"We are sorry, mom," Sara says. "We did not know. We just wanted to make something with it. We like the wool. It is soft and pretty." + +Mom smiles and hugs them. She is not angry or sad. She loves Sara and Ben. + +"It's okay, my loves," mom says. "I know you were curious and creative. The wool is fair, but you are more fair to me. You can keep some of the wool and I will help you make something with it. But first, let's have some cookies and milk. And don't forget to share with Max. He likes wool, too." +Lily and Tom are in the car with Mom. They are going to the zoo. Lily and Tom love the zoo. They want to see the lions and the monkeys and the elephants. + +Mom drives fast on the big road. She wants to get to the zoo before it is too late. Lily and Tom look out the window. They see many things. They see trees and houses and shops and other cars. + +"Look, Lily, look!" Tom says. He points to a big sign on the side of the road. It has a picture of a tiger. The tiger is orange and black and has big teeth. It looks scary. + +"Wow, Tom, wow!" Lily says. She sees the sign too. She thinks it is a real tiger. She is afraid. She hugs her teddy bear. + +"No, Lily, no!" Mom says. She sees the sign too. She knows it is not a real tiger. She knows it is a fake tiger. She knows it is a billboard. A billboard is a sign that tells people something. This billboard tells people to go to the circus. The circus has fake tigers and other animals. + +"Don't be afraid, Lily, don't be afraid!" Mom says. She smiles at Lily. She tries to make her feel better. "That is not a real tiger, Lily, that is a fake tiger. It is a billboard. It is not scary. It is silly." + +Lily looks at Mom. She looks at the billboard. She sees that it is not a real tiger. She sees that it is a fake tiger. She sees that it is a billboard. She feels better. She laughs. + +"You are right, Mom, you are right!" Lily says. She smiles at Mom. She smiles at Tom. She smiles at her teddy bear. "That is not a real tiger, that is a fake tiger. It is a billboard. It is not scary. It is silly." + +Mom, Lily and Tom keep driving. They speed to the zoo. They are happy. They can't wait to see the real animals. +Tim and Mia like to play with cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They make roads with blocks and race their cars on them. Sometimes they crash and make loud noises. + +One day, Tim finds a shiny car in his toy box. It is silver and has a big diamond on the hood. He thinks it is the most beautiful car ever. He shows it to Mia and says, "Look at my new car! It is very fast and has a diamond. Do you want to race with me?" + +Mia nods and picks a red car. She likes red cars. They set up their road and get ready to race. Tim says, "On your mark, get set, go!" and they push their cars as hard as they can. + +Tim's car speeds ahead of Mia's car. He is very happy and thinks he will win. But then he sees a big bump on the road. He tries to avoid it, but it is too late. His car hits the bump and flies into the air. It lands on the floor with a loud crash. + +Tim runs to his car and picks it up. He sees that the diamond is gone. He looks around and finds it on the floor. It is broken into two pieces. He feels very sad and cries. He says, "Oh no, my car is ruined! My diamond is broken! It was my favorite car!" + +Mia sees Tim crying and feels sorry for him. She goes to him and gives him a hug. She says, "I'm sorry, Tim. Your car was very pretty. But it is still a good car. You can still play with it. And maybe we can fix your diamond. Do you want to try?" + +Tim looks at Mia and wipes his tears. He says, "Thank you, Mia. You are a good friend. Yes, let's try to fix my diamond. And then we can race again. But this time, let's be careful of the bumps." + +They smile and hug each other. They take some glue and try to stick the diamond pieces together. They put it back on the car and admire it. It is not as shiny as before, but it is still special. They say, "Ready, set, go!" and race their cars again. They have fun and laugh. They are happy. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the jungle. The jungle has many trees and animals. Lily and Tom see a big yellow bird. The bird is on a high branch. It has a long tail and a loud voice. + +"Look, Tom! A yellow bird!" Lily says. + +"I see it, Lily! It is so pretty!" Tom says. + +They want to see the bird better. They try to climb the tree. But the tree is too tall and hard. They cannot reach the bird. + +"Maybe we can pick some fruits for the bird," Lily says. "Maybe the bird will come down and eat them." + +"Good idea, Lily!" Tom says. + +They look for fruits in the jungle. They find some bananas, some oranges, and some grapes. They put them in a basket. They go back to the tree. + +"Hello, yellow bird!" Lily says. "We have some fruits for you. Do you want some?" + +The bird looks at them. It sees the fruits. It likes fruits. It flies down from the branch. It lands on the basket. It picks a banana with its beak. It peels the banana. It eats the banana. + +"Yum, yum, yum!" the bird says. + +Lily and Tom are happy. They smile at the bird. They give the bird some more fruits. The bird eats them all. It thanks them with a song. + +"Tweet, tweet, tweet!" the bird says. + +Lily and Tom clap their hands. They sing with the bird. They have fun in the jungle. They make a new friend. +Ben likes to write. He writes with his crayons on paper, on the wall, on the sofa. He writes his name, his dog's name, and things he sees. He writes big and small, red and blue, fast and slow. + +One day, he finds a black marker in his dad's drawer. He thinks it is a crayon. He wants to write with it.

I am Dad!" + +Mom looks at him and gasps. She sees the black marker on his face. She sees the black marks on the wall, on the sofa, on the paper. She is not happy. She says, "Ben, what did you do? That is not a crayon. That is a marker. It does not come off. You made a big mess." + +Ben feels sad. He did not know. He says, "I am sorry, Mom. I just wanted to write. I wanted to be like Dad. I thought it was incredible." + +Mom hugs him and says, "I know, Ben. I love you. You are incredible. But you have to be careful. You have to ask before you use things. And you have to write on the right places. Not on your face, or the wall, or the sofa. Only on paper, or a board, or a book." + +Ben nods and says, "OK, Mom. I will ask. I will write on the right places. Can I keep the mustache?" + +Mom laughs and says, "No, Ben. You have to wash it off. Come on, let's go to the bathroom. Maybe we can find some soap and water to make it go away." +Anna and Ben like to play in the garden. They have a big gate that keeps them safe from the road. Sometimes they help Mom make cake in the kitchen. They like to stir the batter with a big spoon. + +One day, they hear a loud noise outside. They run to the gate and look. They see a big truck with a big shovel. The truck is digging a hole in the ground. They wonder what it is doing. + +"Hello, kids!" says a man from the truck. "We are making a new road. Do you want to see?" + +Anna and Ben nod. They are curious. The man opens the gate and lets them come closer. He shows them the hole and the rocks and the dirt. He tells them how the truck works. + +"Can we stir the dirt?" asks Ben. + +The man laughs. "No, this dirt is too hard to stir. You need a big shovel like this." He points to the truck. "But you can stir the cake batter with Mom. That is more fun and yummy." + +Anna and Ben agree. They thank the man and go back to the gate. They close it and run to the kitchen. They find Mom and the cake batter. They take turns to stir it with a big spoon. They are happy. They like to play in the garden and make cake. +Lily and Tom like to play with blocks. They can build many things with blocks. They can build houses, cars, towers, and more. Lily and Tom have a lot of fun with blocks. + +One day, Lily and Tom find a new toy in their room. It is a big box with many pieces. The pieces are different shapes and colors. The box says "Build a Monkey". Lily and Tom are curious. They want to build a monkey. + +They open the box and look at the pieces. They see eyes, ears, nose, mouth, arms, legs, tail, and fur. They also see a book with pictures. The book shows how to build a monkey. Lily and Tom follow the book. They put the pieces together. They use glue and screws. They work hard. + +After a while, they finish. They have a monkey. The monkey is big and soft. It has brown fur and a long tail. It has blue eyes and a pink nose. It has a smile on its face. Lily and Tom are happy. They hug the monkey. + +"Look, we built a monkey!" Lily says. + +"It is a pretty monkey!" Tom says. + +The monkey makes a sound. It says "Ooh-ooh-ahh-ahh". Lily and Tom are surprised. They laugh. + +"Hello, monkey!"

They have a lot of fun with the monkey. They love the monkey. The monkey loves them. +Ben and Lily were playing in the park with their toy jeep. They liked to drive it on the grass and make noises like a real jeep. They saw a big dog running towards them. It was brown and fluffy and had a long tail. + +"Look, a dog!" Lily said. "Can we pet it?" + +Ben was not sure. He thought the dog looked scary. He saw its teeth and its big paws. He felt panic in his tummy. + +"No, Lily, no!" he shouted. "Get in the jeep! Hurry!" + +They jumped in the jeep and tried to drive away. But the dog was faster. It caught up with them and started to sniff the jeep. It licked Ben's face and wagged its tail. + +"Hi, doggy!" Lily said. She reached out and touched its fur. It was soft and warm. She giggled. "You are adorable!" + +Ben was still scared. He pushed the dog away and hid behind Lily. He did not like the dog's tongue and breath. + +"Go away, doggy!" he said. "Leave us alone!" + +The dog did not listen. It thought Ben and Lily were playing with it. It barked and jumped around the jeep. It knocked it over and made it roll on the grass. + +Ben and Lily fell out of the jeep. They cried and screamed. They wanted their mommy and daddy. + +A man came running to them. He was the dog's owner. He saw Ben and Lily and the jeep. He felt sorry for them. + +"I'm so sorry!" he said. "Are you OK? My dog didn't mean to scare you. He's very friendly. He just wanted to say hello." + +He picked up the jeep and put it back on the wheels. He checked if it was broken. It was not. He gave it back to Ben and Lily. + +"Here you go," he said. "Your jeep is fine. It's a nice toy. Do you like jeeps?" + +Ben and Lily nodded. They were still crying, but they felt a little better. They liked their jeep. They did not like the dog. + +The man petted his dog and put a leash on it. He smiled at Ben and Lily. + +"His name is Rufus," he said. "He's a good dog. He likes children. Do you want to pet him?" + +Ben and Lily shook their heads. They did not want to pet Rufus. They wanted to go home. + +The man understood. He said goodbye and walked away with Rufus. He hoped Ben and Lily would not be afraid of dogs anymore. + +Ben and Lily hugged each other. They were glad the dog was gone. They got in their jeep and drove to their mommy and daddy. They told them what happened. They were proud of their jeep. They were brave. +Tom and Mia were hungry. They wanted to eat something good. Mom said she made soup for them. She put two bowls on the table and said, "Seat down and eat your soup. It is hot and yummy." + +Tom and Mia sat down and took their spoons. They blew on the soup and tasted it. Tom made a face. He did not like the soup. It was terrible. It was too salty and too watery. He said, "Mom, this soup is terrible. I don't want to eat it." + +Mia tasted the soup too. She liked the soup. It was not terrible to her. It was warm and cozy. She said, "Mom, this soup is good. I want to eat it." + +Mom looked at Tom and Mia. She was surprised. She said, "How can you have different opinions on the same soup? I made it the same way for both of you." + +Tom and Mia shrugged. They did not know. They had different tastes. Tom pushed his bowl away. He said, "Can I have something else, please?" + +Mia ate her soup happily. She said, "Can I have more, please?" + +Mom smiled. She said, "Of course. You can have what you like. But next time, I will make a different soup. Maybe you will both like it." +Lila and Tom were eager to see the snow. They put on their warm hats, coats, and boots and ran outside. They saw white flakes falling from the sky and covering the ground. They laughed and played in the snow, making snowballs and snowmen. + +They wanted to make their snowman look real, so they looked for things to give him eyes, a nose, and a mouth. They found two black stones for his eyes and a carrot for his nose. But they could not find anything for his mouth. + +"Look, Lila, I found some coal!" Tom said. He saw a pile of black lumps near the house. He picked up one and ran to the snowman. He pressed the coal into the snowman's face, making a smile. + +"Wow, Tom, that's perfect!" Lila said. She admired their snowman. He looked happy and friendly. + +But then, they heard a loud bark. It was their dog, Rex. He saw the coal and thought it was a toy. He ran to the snowman and jumped on him. He grabbed the coal with his teeth and started to chew. + +"Rex, no!" Lila and Tom shouted. They ran to their dog and tried to get the coal from him. But Rex was too fast and too strong. He ran away with the coal, leaving the snowman with a hole in his face. + +Lila and Tom were sad. They looked at their snowman. He looked sad and lonely. + +"Maybe we can find another coal," Lila said. + +"Or maybe we can use something else," Tom said. + +They decided to look for something else to make their snowman smile again. They hoped Rex would not chew it. +Sara and Ben went to the park with Mom. They saw a big tent with many colors. Mom said it was a circus. Sara and Ben wanted to see the circus. Mom bought tickets and they went inside. + +Inside the tent, there were many people and animals. Sara and Ben saw horses, elephants, lions, and monkeys. They also saw people who did tricks and made funny noises. They were clowns. Sara and Ben liked the clowns. They laughed and clapped. + +One of the clowns came to Sara and Ben. He had a big red nose, a blue hat, and a green suit. He said hello and asked them their names. Sara and Ben told him. The clown said he had a surprise for them. He took out a big bowl and a spoon. He said he was going to mix something. + +The clown put many things in the bowl. He put bananas, apples, cheese, cookies, and ketchup. He said it was a special recipe. He stirred the bowl with the spoon. He asked Sara and Ben if they wanted to try it. Sara and Ben said no. They thought it looked yucky. + +The clown said it was okay. He said he had another surprise for them. He took out a small red suit and a small blue hat. He said they were for Sara and Ben. He said they could be clowns too. He tried to put the suit on Sara and the hat on Ben. But they did not fit. The suit was too tight and the hat was too big. Sara and Ben said they did not want to be clowns. They liked their own clothes. + +The clown said it was okay. He said he was just joking. He said he liked Sara and Ben. He gave them a hug and a balloon. He said they were very nice and smart. He said he hoped they enjoyed the circus. Sara and Ben said thank you and goodbye. They smiled and waved. They liked the clown. He was funny and kind. +Ben and Mia liked to play in the woods behind their house. They had a secret spot by the creek, where they could find smooth stones and shiny shells. One day, they decided to build a bridge over the creek with some sticks and leaves. + +They worked hard, finding the best sticks and leaves they could. They laid them across the creek, making sure they were strong and steady. They were very proud of their bridge. They wanted to cross it and see what was on the other side. + +"Ready, Mia?" Ben asked, holding her hand. + +"Ready, Ben!" Mia said, smiling. + +They stepped on the bridge, feeling the rough sticks under their feet. They walked slowly, looking at the water below. They were almost at the other side, when they heard a loud splash. + +"Surprise!" a voice shouted. + +They looked up and saw their big brother, Sam, standing on the bank. He had thrown a big rock into the creek, making a big wave. The wave hit their bridge, and made it shake and fall apart. Ben and Mia lost their balance, and fell into the water. + +They were wet and cold, and very angry. They climbed out of the creek, and glared at Sam. + +"That was not nice, Sam!" Ben said. + +"That was not funny, Sam!" Mia said. + +Sam laughed, and ran away. He thought he was very clever, but he was not. He was very mean. + +Ben and Mia hugged each other, and tried to dry off. They were sad that their bridge was gone, but they were happy that they had each other. They decided to go home, and tell their mom what Sam had done. They hoped he would get in trouble, and learn to be nicer. They also hoped they could build another bridge someday, and see what was on the other side. +Lily and Tom were nosy kids. They liked to look at everything and ask many questions. One day, they saw a big box in the garage. It had a sign that said "Do not open". But Lily and Tom were too nosy to listen. They opened the box and found a pistol inside. + +"Wow, what is this?" Lily asked, picking up the pistol. + +"I don't know, but it looks cool. Maybe it can shoot water," Tom said, taking the pistol from Lily. + +"Let's try it. Come on, follow me," Tom said, running to the backyard. There was a pool there. Tom pointed the pistol at the water and pulled the trigger. But nothing happened. + +"Maybe it's broken," Lily said. + +"Or maybe it needs something else. Look, there is a hole here. Maybe we need to put something in it," Tom said, showing Lily the hole. + +"Like what?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know. Maybe a rock or a stick," Tom said, looking around. + +He saw a small rock on the ground and picked it up. He tried to put it in the hole, but it was too big. He threw it away and found a smaller one. He pushed it in the hole and it fit. + +"Ha, I did it. Now let's see if it works," Tom said, pointing the pistol at the water again. + +He pulled the trigger and a loud bang came out. The pistol kicked back and hit Tom in the face. He dropped the pistol and fell into the pool. Lily screamed and ran to him. + +"Tom, are you okay?" Lily asked, reaching for him. + +Tom was scared and wet. He did not know how to swim. He splashed and coughed and cried for help. + +"Help, help, I can't swim!" Tom shouted. + +Lily tried to help him, but she did not know how to swim either. She grabbed his hand and pulled him, but they both sank deeper. + +"Help, help, we can't swim!" they both shouted. + +Their mom heard their shouts and ran to the pool. She saw them in the water and jumped in. She swam to them and lifted them up. She carried them to the edge of the pool and got them out. + +"Are you okay, kids? What happened?" mom asked, hugging them. + +"We found a pistol in the garage and we tried to shoot water with it, but it was not a water pistol, it was a real pistol and it made a loud bang and hit Tom in the face and we fell in the pool and we couldn't swim and we were scared and we're sorry, mom, we're sorry," Lily and Tom said, sobbing. + +Mom was angry and worried. She took the pistol from the pool and threw it in the trash. She checked Tom's face and saw a bruise. She checked Lily and Tom's bodies and saw no other injuries. She dried them with a towel and took them inside. + +"You kids are very lucky. That pistol could have hurt you or someone else. You should never touch a pistol or any other dangerous thing. And you should never open a box that says 'Do not open'. And you should learn how to swim. Do you understand?" mom said, sternly. + +"Yes, mom, we understand. We're sorry, mom, we're sorry," Lily and Tom said, nodding. + +Mom sighed and hugged them again. + +"I love you, kids, but you have to be more careful and less nosy. Now go to your room and think about what you did. And no more playing with pistols, ever," mom said. + +"Okay, mom, we will. We love you, mom," Lily and Tom said. + +They went to their room and lay on their beds. They felt bad and ashamed. They wished they had not been so nosy. They wished they had not opened the box. They wished they had not found the pistol. They wished they had not tried to shoot water with it. They wished they had not fallen in the pool. They wished they knew how to swim. They wished they had listened to mom. They wished they had been good kids. +Tom is a cat. He likes to relax in the sun. He sleeps on a soft mat. He is happy. + +One day, Tom sees a bird. The bird is on a tree. Tom wants to catch the bird. He runs and jumps. But the bird flies away. Tom is sad. + +He hears a noise. It is a dog. The dog is big and loud. He barks at Tom. Tom is scared. He runs away. But the dog chases him. + +Tom sees a cage. The cage is open. It has some food inside. Tom is hungry. He runs into the cage. He eats the food. He thinks he is safe. + +But the cage is a trap. It closes behind Tom. He is stuck. He cannot get out. He is angry. He meows and scratches. But no one comes. + +He sees the dog. The dog is outside the cage. He laughs at Tom. He says, "Ha ha, silly cat. You are in a cage. I am free. You cannot catch me. You cannot catch the bird. You are dry and cold. I am warm and wet. I can relax in the sun. You are unhappy. I am happy." + +Tom is very unhappy. He wishes he did not chase the bird. He wishes he did not go into the cage. He wishes he was on his soft mat. He wishes he could relax in the sun. He hopes someone will come and free him. He hopes he will see his mat again. He hopes he will be happy again. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide on the grass. They saw a big hill and wanted to climb it. They ran up the hill and looked around. They saw many things: trees, flowers, birds, cars, houses. They felt amazing. + +"Wow, look at all the things!" Tom said. + +"Yes, so many things!" Lily said. + +They wanted to tell their mom and dad what they saw. They ran down the hill and found them on a bench. They talked very fast and loud. + +"Mom, dad, we saw trees and flowers and birds and cars and houses!" Tom said. + +"Mom, dad, we saw trees and flowers and birds and cars and houses!" Lily said. + +They repeated what they saw many times. They wanted their mom and dad to be amazed too. + +"Slow down, slow down," their mom said. "You saw a lot of things, that's great. But you don't have to repeat everything. We can hear you the first time." + +"But mom, it was amazing!" Tom said. + +"But mom, it was amazing!" Lily said. + +They repeated the word amazing many times. They wanted their mom to feel amazing too. + +Their dad smiled and hugged them. He said, "You are amazing. And we are very proud of you. Now, how about we go and get some ice cream?" + +"Yes, ice cream!" Tom said. + +"Yes, ice cream!" Lily said. + +They repeated the word ice cream many times. They wanted their dad to get ice cream fast. + +They all went to the ice cream shop and had a yummy treat. They talked about the things they saw on the hill. They did not repeat everything. They used new words and asked questions. They learned more about the world. They had an amazing day. +Lily and Ben are best friends. They like to play together in the park. They have a secret place under a big tree. There they make creative things with sticks and stones and leaves. + +One day, they find a shiny thing in the grass. It looks like a phone, but it is not a phone. It has buttons and lights and sounds. Lily and Ben are curious. They pick it up and press the buttons. + +"Hello, hello, can you hear me?" a voice says from the shiny thing. Lily and Ben are surprised. They look at each other. + +"Who are you?" Lily asks. + +"I am Max, a space explorer. I am lost in the galaxy. I need your help. Can you call my spaceship?" the voice says. + +Lily and Ben are excited. They want to help Max. They think he is a nice space explorer. They look at the shiny thing and try to find the button to call the spaceship. + +"Is this the button?" Ben asks, pointing at a red button. + +"I don't know. Let's try it." Lily says, and presses the button. + +A loud beep sounds from the shiny thing. Then, a bright light flashes in the sky. Lily and Ben see a big silver thing flying over the park. It is the spaceship. + +"Thank you, thank you, you saved me!" Max says. "You are very creative and brave. I will never forget you. Goodbye, Lily and Ben!" + +The shiny thing stops making sounds and lights. The spaceship flies away. Lily and Ben are happy. They hug each other. + +"We did it! We helped Max!" Lily says. + +"We are space heroes!" Ben says. + +They smile and run to their secret place. They put the shiny thing in a box and hide it under the tree. They decide to keep it as a secret. They think maybe Max will call them again someday. They hope he is safe and happy in the galaxy. They are best friends. +Lila liked to wear unique clothes. She had a red hat, a green dress, and yellow shoes. She made them from old clothes that her mom gave her. She cut and sewed and painted them. She felt happy and proud when she wore them. + +One day, she went to the park with her mom and her dog, Spot. She saw some other kids playing on the swings and slides. She wanted to join them, but they looked at her clothes and laughed. They said, "You look funny. Your clothes are weird. You don't belong here." + +Lila felt sad and angry. She ran away from them and hid behind a tree. She hugged Spot and cried. She wished she had normal clothes like the other kids. + +Then, she heard a loud bark. She looked up and saw Spot running towards the pond. He had seen a duck and wanted to chase it. But the pond was deep and cold. Spot jumped in and started to sink. He was scared and wet. + +Lila forgot about her clothes and ran after him. She reached the edge of the pond and saw Spot struggling in the water. She shouted, "Spot, Spot, come here! I'll save you!" + +She grabbed a long stick and threw it into the pond. Spot saw it and swam towards it. He bit the stick and Lila pulled him out. She hugged him and dried him with her dress. He licked her face and wagged his tail. + +Lila's mom came and saw what happened. She was proud of Lila and said, "You are very brave, Lila. You saved Spot. You are a good friend. And I love your unique clothes. They are beautiful and creative. Don't let anyone make you feel bad about them. You are special and wonderful, just the way you are." +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a large bird in the sky. It has red and yellow feathers. It is very pretty. + +"Look, Ben! A large bird!" Lily says, and points to the sky. + +"I see it, Lily! It is a parrot!" Ben says, and points too. + +They hope the parrot will come down and talk to them. They have seen parrots talk on TV. They think it is fun. + +"Hello, parrot! Can you talk to us?" Lily asks, and waves her hand. + +"Hello, hello!" the parrot says, and flies closer. It lands on a branch near them. + +Lily and Ben are very happy. They clap their hands and laugh. + +"Wow, you can talk! What is your name?" Ben asks. + +"My name is Polly. What is yours?" the parrot asks. + +"My name is Ben. This is Lily. We are friends. Do you want to be our friend too?" Ben says. + +"Yes, I want to be your friend. You are nice. Do you have any food for me?" the parrot says. + +Lily and Ben look at each other. They do not have any food for the parrot. They only have their toys. + +"Sorry, Polly. We do not have any food for you. We have a ball and a doll. Do you want to play with us?" Lily says. + +The parrot thinks for a moment. It likes food, but it also likes to play. + +"OK, I will play with you. But later, can you give me some food? I like seeds and nuts and fruits." the parrot says. + +"OK, Polly. We will give you some food later. Come on, let's play!" Lily says. + +They all play together in the park. They have a lot of fun. They hope the parrot will stay with them. They like their new friend. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big hill. They want to climb the hill. + +"Let's pretend we are lions," Tom says. "We can roar and march on the hill." + +"OK," Sam says. "I will be the king of the lions. You will be my helper." + +They run to the hill. They start to climb. They roar and march. They feel strong and brave. + +They reach the top of the hill. They see a big house. It has many windows and doors. It has a garden and a pool. + +"Wow," Tom says. "That is a rich house. Who lives there?" + +"I don't know," Sam says. "Maybe a princess or a prince." + +"Let's go and see," Tom says. "Maybe they will invite us to play." + +They run to the house. They knock on the door. They wait. + +The door opens. A lady comes out. She is not happy. She sees Tom and Sam. She hears their roars. + +"Who are you?" she asks. "What are you doing here?" + +"We are lions," Tom says. "We came to play." + +"You are not lions," the lady says. "You are naughty boys. You are making too much noise. Go away." + +She closes the door. She does not want to play. + +Tom and Sam are sad. They do not understand. They walk back to the hill. + +"Maybe she is not a princess or a prince," Sam says. "Maybe she is a witch." + +"Maybe," Tom says. "But we are still lions. We can still roar and march." + +They roar and march on the hill. They have fun. They are friends. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a pond with ducks and fish. Lily and Ben want to feed the ducks. They have some bread in their bags. + +They go to the pond and break the bread into small pieces. They throw the bread to the ducks. The ducks are happy. They quack and swim to get the bread. Lily and Ben laugh and clap. + +One duck is different. It is white and big. It has a red thing on its head. Lily and Ben think it is funny. They call it Big Red. Big Red is not like the other ducks. It does not eat the bread. It swims to Lily and Ben and looks at them. + +"Hello, Big Red," Lily says. "Do you want some bread?" + +Big Red shakes its head. It opens its mouth and says, "No, thank you. I am not a duck. I am a goose. I like grass and seeds." + +Lily and Ben are surprised. They did not know that geese can talk. They think Big Red is joking. They giggle and say, "You are a silly goose. You are a duck. Ducks can't talk." + +Big Red smiles. It is gentle and kind. It says, "I am not silly. I am smart. I can talk because I learned from a boy. He was my friend. He taught me words and jokes. He moved away. I miss him. You are my new friends. Do you want to hear a joke?" + +Lily and Ben nod. They like jokes. They say, "Yes, please. Tell us a joke." + +Big Red says, "Okay. Here is a joke. Why did the duck cross the road?" + +Lily and Ben think. They say, "We don't know. Why did the duck cross the road?" + +Big Red says, "To get to the other pond!" + +Lily and Ben laugh. They think it is a funny joke. They say, "That is a good joke. You are a funny goose. We like you, Big Red." + +Big Red is happy. It says, "I like you, too, Lily and Ben. You are nice and fun. Can we play together?" + +Lily and Ben say, "Yes, of course. We can play together.

He wants to play with them. + +"Hi, doggy!" Tom says. "Do you like baseball too?" + +The dog nods and licks Tom's face. He drops the ball and waits for Sam to throw it again. + +"Wow, he is so smart and fun!" Sam says. "Can we keep him?" + +Tom and Sam look at each other and smile. They hug the dog and name him Buddy. They decide to share him and take him home. They love their new friend. Buddy loves them too. He is happy to play baseball with them every day. +Sam liked to play with his blocks. He had many blocks of different shapes and colors. He liked to make towers and bridges and houses with them. But his favorite block was a yellow triangle. He always put it on top of his towers. + +One day, Sam's mom came into his room. She had a big bag with her. She said, "Sam, I have a surprise for you. I bought you some new blocks. They are bigger and brighter and have more shapes. Do you want to see them?" + +Sam was curious. He nodded and said, "Yes, please." His mom opened the bag and poured out the new blocks. Sam saw circles and squares and rectangles and stars and hearts. They were very pretty. He picked up a red star and smiled. + +But then he saw something that made him sad. His mom had taken his yellow triangle and put it in the bag. She said, "We don't need this old block anymore. It is small and cheap and has a crack. We can replace it with a new one. Look, here is a nice green triangle. It is bigger and better. Do you like it?" + +Sam shook his head. He did not like the green triangle. He wanted his yellow triangle. He said, "No, thank you. I want my yellow triangle. It is not cheap. It is special. It is my favorite. Please give it back to me." + +His mom looked at him and saw that he was very upset. She said, "Oh, I'm sorry, Sam. I didn't know you liked it so much. Of course you can have it back. Here you go." She took out the yellow triangle and gave it to Sam. He hugged it and said, "Thank you, mom. I love my yellow triangle. And I love you too." + +His mom smiled and said, "I love you too, Sam. And I'm glad you like your new blocks. You can play with them and your yellow triangle. You can make anything you want with them. They are all yours." + +Sam was happy. He had his yellow triangle and his new blocks. He said, "Thank you, mom. You are the best. Can I show you what I can make with them?" + +His mom said, "Of course, Sam. I would love to see what you can make with them. Let's play together." They sat on the floor and played with the blocks. They had a lot of fun. Sam made a big tower with his yellow triangle on top. He was very proud of it. He said, "Look, mom. This is my tower. It is the best tower ever." + +His mom said, "It is a wonderful tower, Sam. You are very clever. I'm very proud of you." They hugged and laughed. They were very happy. +Lily was a little girl who loved animals. She had a dog, a cat, and a bird at home. One day, she went to the farm with her mom and dad.

He wanted to scare Lily away. + +Lily was scared. She screamed and ran back to her mom and dad. They hugged her and told her to be careful. + +"Sorry, Lily. The bull is not friendly. He does not like strangers. He is trying to protect his cows and calves. He thinks you are a threat," her dad explained. + +Lily nodded. She understood. She did not want to bother the bull anymore. She looked around and saw a baby calf in another pen. He was small and cute. He had spots and a curly tail. He looked lonely and sad. + +Lily smiled. She wanted to be his friend. She walked to the other fence and called out softly. + +"Hello, little calf. I am Lily. I want to pet you. You are so cute. Can I be your friend?" + +The calf looked up and saw Lily.

"No, Max, stop! You are hurting Queen Rose! She is my doll, not yours!" she cried. + +Max did not listen. He laughed and ran away with the doll. He hid under the bed and ripped her dress. He broke her crown and scratched her face. He made her look ugly and dirty. + +Lily followed him and found him under the bed. She saw what he did to her doll and felt very bad. She started to cry. "Max, you are mean! You ruined Queen Rose! She was so beautiful and now she is not! How can you do this?" she sobbed. + +Max felt sorry when he saw Lily cry. He realized he was wrong. He gave her the doll and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I was just playing. I didn't mean to hurt your doll. Can you forgive me?" + +Lily looked at her doll and saw how damaged she was. She felt sad, but she also loved her brother. She said, "I forgive you, Max. But you have to help me fix Queen Rose. She needs a new dress, a new crown and a new face.

They had to hold hands and help each other. They saw many bugs and birds and rocks. They were happy and curious. + +But when they reached the top, they saw something that made them scared. It was a big, shiny, metal thing. It looked like a bird, but it had no feathers or eyes. It had wings and a tail and a nose. It made a loud noise and blew smoke. It was a plane! + +Ben and Lily did not know what a plane was. They thought it was a monster that wanted to eat them. They screamed and ran down the hill. They dropped their napkins and water and did not look back. + +They ran all the way to their house and hugged their mom. They told her what they saw and how they were scared. Their mom smiled and hugged them. She told them that the shiny thing was not a monster, but a plane. She said that a plane was a thing that people used to fly in the sky.

"The octopus is too big for our tank. And it might eat our fish. The octopus needs a lot of space and care. It is not a good pet for us." + +Ben nodded. He agreed with Mom. He did not want the octopus to hurt their fish. He looked around and saw a small yellow fish with black stripes. The fish was swimming fast and happy. Ben pointed at the fish and said, "How about this one, Mom? Can we buy this one?" + +Mom smiled and said, "Yes, we can buy this one. This one is a good pet for us. It is small and friendly. And it will get along with our other fish. Let's ask the shopkeeper to put it in a bag for us." + +Lily and Ben were happy. They thanked Mom and the shopkeeper.

They pretended to drive the truck around the house, making loud noises and honking the horn. + +One day, they saw a dog outside their window. The dog was brown and fluffy, and it looked very friendly. Lily and Ben wanted to pet the dog, so they ran to the door with their truck. They opened the door and went outside, but they forgot to look both ways. + +A car was coming down the street, very fast and careless. The driver did not see Lily and Ben or their truck. He only saw the dog, and he tried to avoid it. He swerved and hit the truck, sending it flying in the air. Lily and Ben screamed and jumped back. + +"Are you okay?" the driver asked, getting out of his car. He looked scared and sorry. + +"Yes, we are okay," Lily said, holding Ben's hand. "But our truck is broken." + +The driver looked at the truck, which was smashed and bent. He felt bad for breaking their toy. He said, "I'm so sorry, kids. I didn't mean to hit your truck. I was careless and didn't pay attention. Can I buy you a new one?" + +Lily and Ben looked at each other. They were sad about their truck, but they were also kind. They said, "No, thank you. You don't have to buy us a new one. We have other cars to play with. But please be careful next time." + +The driver nodded and thanked them. He said, "You are very nice kids. And you are right, I should be more careful. I'm glad you are not hurt. And what about the dog? Is it yours?" + +Lily and Ben shook their heads. They said, "No, it's not ours. We just wanted to pet it. But it ran away when you hit the truck." + +The driver looked around, but he could not see the dog. He said, "Well, I hope it's okay too. Maybe it belongs to someone else. You should always ask before you pet a strange dog. And you should always look both ways before you cross the street. Remember that, okay?" + +Lily and Ben nodded. They said, "Okay, we will remember. Thank you for saying sorry. Goodbye." + +The driver waved and got back in his car. He drove away, more slowly and carefully. Lily and Ben went back inside, holding their truck.

"You are ruining our game!" + +But the duck did not listen. He thought the boats were food and he wanted to eat them. He chased after Ben's boat and caught it in his mouth. + +"Give it back, duck!"

It has an idea. + +"Why don't you take turns? You can each play with the spear for a while. Then you can give it to the other. That way, you can both have fun and be nice to each other."

Tim said. "They are ours!" + +"No way!" the big boy said. "Finders keepers, losers weepers!" + +He threw the ball to his dog, who chased it and bit it. He drove the car on the ground, making it dirty and broken. He flew the kite in the air, then let it go. + +Tim and Sam felt very bad. They wanted to get their toys back, but they were afraid of the big boy and his dog. They did not know what to do. + +Suddenly, they heard a squeak. It was the rat.

I will punish you for breaking the rules." + +Lily felt very scared and sad. She did not mean to make Mommy angry. She said, "I am sorry, Mommy. I just wanted to see what was in your room. I did not know it was bad. Please do not punish me. I love you, Mommy." + +Mommy sighed and hugged Lily. She said, "I love you too, Lily. But you have to learn to respect my things and my space. You have to listen to me when I tell you something. That is how you show me you love me. Now, put everything back and go to your room. You can come out after dinner. But no more going into my room without asking, okay?" + +Lily nodded and did what Mommy said. She felt sorry for being nosy and hoped Mommy would forgive her.
