They put some pillows and blankets inside and pretended they were kings and queens. They had a lot of fun, but they did not hear their mom calling them to help set the table. + +"Come on, Lily and Ben, it's time to help!" their mom shouted. "The turkey is almost ready and we need to put the plates and forks and napkins on the table." + +But Lily and Ben did not listen. They were too busy playing in their fort. They did not notice that their dog, Spot, was sniffing around the kitchen. He smelled the turkey and wanted to have a taste. He jumped on the counter and grabbed the turkey with his mouth. He ran away with it, leaving a trail of crumbs and juice behind him. + +Their mom saw what happened and screamed. She ran after Spot, but he was too fast.

They saw her face and knew something was wrong. + +"What happened, mom?" Lily asked. + +"Spot took the turkey and ran away with it," their mom said. "Now we have no turkey for dinner. How could you be so careless and not help me?" + +Lily and Ben felt very bad. They realized they had made a big mistake. They wished they had listened to their mom and helped her. They regretted playing in their fort and ignoring her. They said they were sorry and hugged her. + +They were very uncomfortable and did not know what to do. They hoped their mom would forgive them and their cousins would not laugh at them. They wondered if they would still have pie. They learned a lesson that day: they should always help their mom and not be selfish. +Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play in the park. Sometimes they crawl on the grass and pretend to be animals. They make noises and chase each other. + +One day, they see a big dog in the park. The dog is brown and mild. He does not bark or bite. He wags his tail and licks their faces. Tim and Sam are happy. They pet the dog and hug him. + +"Hello, doggy," Tim says. "What is your name?" + +The dog does not answer. He just sniffs and nuzzles them. + +"Maybe his name is Peace," Sam says. "He is so calm and friendly." + +Tim and Sam agree. They call the dog Peace and play with him. They throw a ball and he fetches it. They crawl with him and he follows them. They have a lot of fun. + +Soon, it is time to go home. Tim and Sam say goodbye to Peace.

And no one is here. Who will know?" Sara said. + +Tom shook his head. "That is not right. We should trust what our parents and teachers tell us. They say we should be honest and kind. If we take the apples, we are not honest and kind. We are selfish and greedy. And maybe someone will know. Maybe the owner of the tree will come and be angry. Or maybe we will feel guilty and sad. Do you want that?" Tom said. + +Sara thought for a moment. She looked at the apples. They were shiny and red. But she also looked at Tom. He was her friend. He had clear eyes and a warm smile.

She wanted to be honest and kind. + +"You are right, Tom. I am sorry. I will not take the apples. Let's go and find something else to eat. Maybe we can ask our parents for a snack. Or maybe we can find some berries or nuts in the park. They are also good and yummy. And they are free and fair," Sara said. + +Tom smiled and hugged Sara. "I am proud of you, Sara. You are a good friend. And you are smart and brave. You made a good choice. Come on, let's go and have fun. Maybe we can also find some flowers or rocks or bugs to look at. There are so many things to see and do in the park. And we can enjoy them together. Because we are friends. And we trust each other," Tom said. + +They held hands and ran to the park.

You may kiss," the teddy bear said. + +Lisa and Tom kissed. They were happy. + +But then, Sam came. Sam was rude. He did not like Lisa and Tom. He wanted to spoil their marriage. He grabbed the ring and ran away. + +"Hey, give it back!" Tom shouted. + +"No, it's mine now!" Sam said. + +He ran to the kitchen. He saw a candle. He had a bad idea. He put the ring on the candle. The ring started to burn. + +"Ha ha, look at your ring now!" Sam said. + +Lisa and Tom followed him. They saw the ring on fire. They were sad and angry. + +"That's not nice, Sam! You are mean!"

She took the ring off the candle. She put it in water. She scolded Sam. + +"Sam, that was very rude and dangerous. You could have started a fire. You could have hurt yourself or others. You have to apologize to Lisa and Tom. And you have to go to your room. No dessert for you tonight," Mom said. + +Sam was sorry. He realized he was wrong. He said sorry to Lisa and Tom.

He had many friends who lived near his house. They liked to play with him in the park, in the garden or in the street. + +One day, it was very cold outside. The sky was gray and the wind was strong. Tom's mom said, "You can't go out today, Tom. It's too cold. You will get sick. Stay inside and play with your toys." Tom was sad. He wanted to go out and see his friends. He did not like to play alone. + +He looked at his toys. He had a train, a car, a doll and a puzzle. He tried to play with them, but he was bored. He missed his friends. He felt lonely. He said to himself, "I don't like this. I want to go out. Maybe it's not so cold. Maybe my friends are waiting for me." + +He decided to sneak out of his house. He put on his coat, his boots and his yellow hat. He took his red ball and his blue bike. He opened the door and ran outside. He did not see his mom. + +He rode his bike to the park. He hoped to find his friends there. But the park was empty. There was no one there. The swings were still, the slide was wet and the sandbox was frozen. Tom felt even more lonely. He said, "Where are my friends? Why are they not here? Don't they want to play with me?" + +He heard a voice behind him. It was his mom. She had followed him. She was angry. She said, "Tom, what are you doing here? I told you to stay inside. It's too cold. You are naughty. Come back with me right now." + +Tom was scared. He knew he had done something wrong. He said, "I'm sorry, mom. I wanted to play with my friends. I was lonely. Please don't be mad at me." + +His mom hugged him. She said, "I'm not mad at you, Tom. I love you. I know you were lonely. But you have to listen to me. It's not safe to go out when it's cold. You could get hurt or sick. Your friends are not here because they are inside too. They are not allowed to go out either. They will play with you another day. Now let's go home and have some hot chocolate. OK?" + +Tom nodded. He said, "OK, mom. I'm sorry. I love you too. Can we play a game when we get home?" + +His mom smiled. She said, "Sure, Tom. We can play a game. Whatever you want. You are my sweet boy." + +They went home together. Tom felt warm and happy. He was not lonely anymore. He had his mom and his toys. He learned a lesson. He decided to obey his mom and stay inside when it was cold. He knew she wanted the best for him. He knew his friends would come back when the sun was shining. He knew he had a lot of fun to look forward to. He was a good boy. +Tom and Mia are squirrels. They like to find nuts and hide them in their tree. One day, they see a big nut on the ground. It is shiny and brown and smells good. + +"Look, Mia, a big nut!" Tom says. "Let's take it to our tree." + +"Yes, let's go!" Mia says. They run to the nut and grab it with their teeth. But then they hear a loud roar. + +"Hey, that's my nut!" a bear says. He is big and angry and has sharp teeth. He runs after Tom and Mia. + +"Oh no, a bear!" Tom says. "What do we do?" + +"Quick, send the nut to the tree!" Mia says. She throws the nut in the air with her mouth. Tom jumps and catches it. He runs to the tree and climbs up. Mia follows him. + +They reach their hole and hide the nut inside. The bear can't climb the tree. He is sad and mad. He goes away. + +"Phew, that was close!" Tom says. "But we did it! We have a big nut!" + +"Yes, we do!" Mia says. "And it is hidden from the bear. He can't find it." + +They smile and hug. They are happy and proud. They share the nut and eat it. It is yummy and crunchy. They are full and sleepy. They snuggle and sleep. They dream of more nuts. +Sam and Mia are friends. They like to play with toys in Sam's room. Sam has a big fan that makes wind. Mia likes the fan.

She waits for Sam to pass the fan to her. But Sam does not pass the fan. He keeps it for himself. He makes the fan go faster and faster. + +The fan makes a loud noise. It shakes and wobbles. Sam is scared. He tries to turn it off. But he can't. The fan falls off the table. It breaks into pieces. + +Sam and Mia are shocked. They hear a knock on the door. It is Sam's mom. She is angry.

But their favorite thing was to hang from the big tree. The tree had many branches and leaves, and it was fun to hang upside down and pretend to be monkeys. + +One day, they saw a new boy in the park. He was bigger than them and had a rough voice. He came to the tree and said, "This is my tree. You have to go away." + +Ben and Lily were scared. They did not want to fight with the new boy. They wanted to share the tree and play nicely. But the new boy did not listen. He pushed them off the tree and hung on the branch by himself. He laughed and said, "I am the king of the tree. You are too small and weak to hang here." + +Ben and Lily ran to their mom, who was sitting on a bench. They told her what happened and asked for help. Their mom hugged them and said, "I'm sorry, my loves. That boy was not very nice. He did not have wisdom. Wisdom is when you know how to be kind and fair and share with others. Wisdom is better than being big and strong." + +Ben and Lily nodded. They understood what their mom said. They decided to play somewhere else and wait for the new boy to leave. They hoped that one day, he would learn wisdom and be their friend. They knew that hanging from the tree was fun, but hanging with friends was more fun. +Sara and Ben live in a small house in a valley. They have a big garden with many flowers and fruits. They like to sell some of their flowers and fruits at the market. They have a regular spot near the fountain, where many people come to buy and chat. + +One day, Sara and Ben go to the market with a basket full of roses and apples.

It has a big sign that says "Magic roses and apples for sale. Two coins each." The stall is full of roses and apples that sparkle and glow in different colors. Many people are curious and want to buy them. + +Sara and Ben feel sad and angry. They think the magic roses and apples are fake and unfair. They think their roses and apples are better, because they are real and natural. They decide to do something. + +They go to the fountain and fill a bucket with water. They add some soap and make bubbles. They blow the bubbles over their roses and apples, making them shiny and wet. They change their sign to say "Bubble roses and apples for sale. One coin each. Fun and fresh." + +Soon, people notice their stall and come to see. They like the bubble roses and apples, because they are pretty and playful.

They saw their planes fly over the fence and into the neighbor's yard. They were very sad and scared. They did not know if they could get their planes back. + +They knocked on the neighbor's door and asked if they could have their planes. The neighbor was a nice lady who liked children. She said yes, but she asked them to do something for her first. She said she had a big quilt that she was making for her granddaughter, but she needed some help. She asked Mia and Leo to touch the different fabrics and tell her what texture they felt. She said texture meant how something felt, like soft or rough or smooth. + +Mia and Leo agreed to help. They touched the quilt and said the words they knew. They said some fabrics were soft like a bunny, some were rough like a tree, some were smooth like a glass, and some were fuzzy like a peach. The neighbor was very happy and thanked them. She said they had good eyes and good hands. She gave them their planes and some cookies. + +Mia and Leo were very grateful and happy.

She puts on her swimsuit and jumps in. She splashes and laughs with her toys. + +But soon the sun goes down and the air gets cold. Lily's mom calls her to come inside. Lily does not want to leave the water. She says, "No, no, I want to play more!" But her mom says, "Lily, you are wet and cold. You need to dry off and get warm. Come on, let's go." + +Lily gets out of the tub. She feels the cold wind on her skin. She shivers and hugs herself. She sees her mom holding a big towel. She runs to her mom and wraps the towel around her. The towel is soft and warm. It makes Lily feel cozy and happy. + +Her mom carries her to the house. She dries her hair and puts on her pajamas. She gives her a cup of hot cocoa and a hug. She says, "Lily, you are a good girl. I love you very much. Now you are dry and warm. Time to go to bed." Lily smiles and says, "I love you too, mom. Thank you for the water and the towel and the cocoa. Good night." She falls asleep in her mom's arms. +Lily and Ben liked to play with their crayons and paper. They liked to print their names, shapes, and animals. One day, they had a new idea. They wanted to make a tunnel with their paper. + +They took many sheets of paper and taped them together. They made a long strip of paper. Then they bent it into a circle and taped the ends. They had a tunnel! They put it on the floor and crawled inside. + +"Wow, this is fun!" Lily said. "We made our own tunnel!" + +"Yes, we did!" Ben said. "We are very clever!" + +They peeked out of the tunnel and saw their mom. She was smiling and holding a camera. + +"Hello, my little artists!" she said. "Can I take a picture of your tunnel?" + +"Yes, please!" Lily and Ben said. They crawled out of the tunnel and posed next to it. They were very cheerful. + +Mom took the picture and showed it to them. They liked it very much. + +"Can we print the picture and put it on the wall?" Lily asked. + +"Of course, you can!" Mom said. "You did a great job with your tunnel. I'm very proud of you!" + +Lily and Ben hugged their mom and thanked her. They were happy. They liked to print and make tunnels. They liked to play with their crayons and paper. +Lily and Tom went to the park with their mom. They saw a big pond with many ducks and swans. Lily liked the swans. They were white and graceful. She wanted to feed them some bread. + +"Mom, can I give some bread to the swans?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, but be careful. Don't go too close to the water. And don't throw too much bread. It can spoil the water and make the swans sick." Mom said. + +Lily nodded and took a piece of bread from the bag. She broke it into small bits and tossed them to the swans. The swans came closer and ate the bread. They made soft noises. Lily smiled. She felt peaceful. + +Tom was bored. He did not like the swans. He thought they were boring and ugly. He wanted to have some fun. He saw a big stick on the ground. He picked it up and ran to the pond. + +"Hey, watch this!" Tom shouted. He swung the stick and hit a swan on the head. The swan cried out and fell into the water. The other swans flew away. The water turned red. + +Lily gasped. She dropped the bread and ran to the swan. She tried to help it, but it was too late. The swan was dead. + +"Tom, what did you do?" Lily screamed. "You killed the swan! You are mean and bad!" + +Mom heard the noise and came to the pond. She saw the stick, the blood, and the dead swan. She was angry and sad. + +"Tom, how could you do such a thing? You hurt the swan and spoiled the pond. You scared the other swans and Lily. You have to say sorry and go home. You are in big trouble." Mom said. + +Tom felt sorry, but he did not say it. He was scared and ashamed. He followed Mom and Lily to the car. They left the park. The park was not peaceful anymore. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. But then Lily felt something on her leg. It was a bug. The bug bit Lily and made her leg itch. + +"Ow! Ow! Ow!" Lily cried. "Itch! Itch! Itch!" + +Tom ran to Lily and saw the bug. He tried to shoo it away, but it was too fast. It flew to Lily's other leg and bit her again. + +"Stop! Stop! Stop!" Tom shouted. "Bad bug! Go away!" + +Lily and Tom ran to the bench where their mom was sitting. They told her about the bug and showed her their legs. Mom looked at the bites and said they were not too bad. She gave them some cream to put on the bites. The cream made the itch go away. + +"Thank you, Mom," Lily and Tom said. They hugged their mom and felt better. + +Mom said they could play some more, but they had to be careful of the bugs. She also said they had to go home soon, because it was getting dark. Lily and Tom nodded and went back to the park. They played until the sun went down and the sky was dark. Then they went home with their mom and had a nice dinner. They were happy and forgot about the bug. +Tim and Jen are twins. They like to play in the park. They have a big ball that is red and blue.

The snake hissed and coiled. It was ready to strike. + +Lily's mom saw what was happening. She was scared. She shouted at Lily to stop and come back. She ran to the garden to save her. She knew that the snake was dangerous. + +Lily heard her mom. She turned around and saw her. She wondered why she was yelling. She did not understand. She ignored her mom and kept going to the snake.

Come with me." + +Max leads Bella to a pile of leaves that have fallen from the trees. He says, "Roll in these leaves. They will cover the flea and make it stop jumping." + +Bella does what Max says. She rolls in the leaves until she is covered with them. She feels the flea stop moving on her back. She says, "Thank you, Max. You are a good friend. The flea is gone now." + +Max says, "You are welcome, Bella. You are a good friend too. Now let's shake off these leaves and go play some more. You are a lively dog and I like to play with you." + +Bella and Max shake off the leaves and run to the park. They are happy and itch-free. They play until it is time to go home. They say goodbye and wag their tails. They look forward to seeing each other again. +Ben and Lily were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and run after it. Sometimes they would try to catch the ball with their hands, but that was hard. + +A big man came to the park. He was bald and had no hair on his head. He looked angry and mean. He saw the ball and wanted to take it. He walked to Ben and Lily and said, "Give me the ball. It is mine now." + +Ben and Lily were scared of the big man. They did not want to give him their ball. They said, "No, this is our ball. We are playing with it. Go away." + +The big man did not listen. He grabbed the ball from Lily's hands and ran away. Lily started to cry. Ben was very mad. He screamed, "Hey, that is not fair. Give us back our ball. You are a bad man." + +The big man did not stop. He ran to his car and threw the ball inside. He got in the car and drove away. Ben and Lily ran after him, but they were too slow. They could not catch him. + +Ben and Lily were very sad. They had lost their ball. They hugged each other and walked back to the park. The park was quiet and empty. There was only silence. They wished they had their ball back. They missed their ball. +Sam and Mia were playing in the park. They saw a big tree with many oranges on it. They wanted to pick some oranges to eat. + +"Look, Mia, there is a big orange up there. I want it!" Sam said. + +He climbed the tree and reached for the orange. But the orange was too high. He stretched his arm and tried to grab it. + +"Be careful, Sam, you might fall!" Mia said. + +But Sam did not listen. He pulled the orange hard. The orange came off the branch, but Sam lost his balance. He dropped the orange and fell to the ground. + +"Ouch!" Sam cried. He hurt his knee and his elbow. + +Mia ran to him and hugged him. She saw the orange on the grass. She picked it up and gave it to Sam. + +"Here, Sam, you can have the orange. Are you okay?" Mia asked. + +Sam nodded. He smiled and thanked Mia. He peeled the orange and shared it with Mia. They ate the orange and felt better. + +But then they heard a loud roar. They looked up and saw a fierce lion coming out of the bushes. The lion was hungry and angry. It saw Sam and Mia and wanted to eat them. + +"Run, Mia, run!" Sam shouted. + +They dropped the orange peel and ran as fast as they could. They reached the gate of the park and ran out. They saw their mom and dad waiting for them. They ran to them and told them what happened. + +"Wow, that was a scary adventure!" Mom said. + +She hugged Sam and Mia and checked their wounds. She put some bandages on them and kissed them. + +"Dad, can we go home now?" Sam asked. + +"Of course, my brave kids. Let's go home and have some cookies and milk," Dad said. + +He picked up Sam and Mia and carried them to the car. They drove away from the park and the lion. They were safe and happy. They learned a lesson: never climb a tree to pick an orange when there is a fierce lion nearby. +Ben likes to play with his toy train. He makes it go fast and slow, and makes noises like choo-choo and beep-beep. He has a lot of fun with his train, but sometimes he gets bored and wants to do something else. + +One day, he sees a shiny thing on the table. It is a scale. His mom uses it to weigh things, like fruits and vegetables. Ben is curious. He wants to see how much his train weighs. He picks up the scale and puts it on the floor. He puts his train on the scale and looks at the numbers. He does not know what they mean, but he thinks they are interesting. + +He tries to weigh other things, like his books, his ball, and his teddy bear. He likes to see the numbers change. He does not notice that his mom is watching him from the kitchen. She smiles and shakes her head. She knows that Ben is restless and likes to explore. She also knows that the scale is not a toy, and that it can break easily. + +She decides to let him play for a few more minutes, and then she will tell him to put the scale back on the table. She hopes that he will not lie to her and say that he did not touch it. She wants him to be honest and careful. She thinks of a way to reward him for being a good boy. + +She goes to the fridge and takes out a chocolate cake. She cuts a slice and puts it on a plate. She sprinkles some colorful sprinkles on top. She thinks that Ben will love it. She walks to the living room, where Ben is still playing with the scale. + +She says, "Ben, what are you doing with the scale?" + +Ben looks up and sees the cake. He smiles and says, "I was just weighing my train, mom. I'm sorry, I know it's not a toy. Can I have some cake, please?" + +Mom smiles and says, "Yes, you can have some cake, Ben. You are a good boy for telling me the truth. But first, you have to put the scale back on the table, and clean up your toys. Okay?" + +Ben nods and says, "Okay, mom. Thank you for the cake. It looks yummy." + +He puts the scale back on the table, and picks up his toys. He puts them in his toy box. He runs to the kitchen and hugs his mom. He says, "I love you, mom. You are the best." + +Mom hugs him back and says, "I love you too, Ben. You are the best too. Now, let's enjoy the cake together." + +They sit down and eat the cake. Ben thinks it is the best cake ever. He is happy and full. He forgets about the scale and the train. He just wants to cuddle with his mom and his teddy bear. He is not restless anymore. He is sleepy. He lies down on the couch and closes his eyes. Mom covers him with a blanket and kisses his forehead. She says, "Good night, Ben. Sweet dreams." + +The end. +Lily liked to dance. She danced in her room, in the garden, and in the kitchen. She danced with her dolls, her dog, and her mom. She danced when she was happy, when she was sad, and when she was bored. + +One day, Lily wanted to dance in a fancy dress. She found a pink dress with flowers and ribbons in her mom's closet. She put it on and looked at herself in the mirror. She felt like a princess. She went to the kitchen to show her mom. + +But when she got to the kitchen, she saw a big mess. Her mom was making a cake, and there was butter, flour, eggs, and sugar everywhere. Her mom looked tired and angry. She did not see Lily. + +Lily tried to get her mom's attention. She said, "Mom, look at me! I'm dancing in a fancy dress!" But her mom did not hear her. She was busy with the cake. + +Lily felt sad and mad. She wanted her mom to see her and to dance with her. She stomped her feet and waved her arms. She made a loud noise. She knocked over a bowl of butter. + +The butter spilled on the floor and on Lily's fancy dress. It made a big stain. Lily gasped. Her mom turned around and saw her. She saw the butter, the dress, and Lily's face. She was not happy. + +She said, "Lily, what did you do? You made a big mess! You ruined my cake and your dress! You are not supposed to wear my clothes! You are in big trouble!" + +Lily started to cry. She said, "I'm sorry, Mom. I just wanted to dance with you. I just wanted you to see me. I like your dress. It's so fancy." + +Her mom sighed. She felt sorry for Lily. She said, "I'm sorry, too, Lily. I know you like to dance. I know you wanted to show me your dress. But you have to ask me before you take my things. And you have to be careful in the kitchen. It's not a place to dance." + +She hugged Lily and wiped her tears. She said, "Let's clean up this mess together. Then we can make a new cake. And maybe later, we can dance in the garden. How does that sound?" + +Lily nodded. She said, "OK, Mom. I love you. And I love your dress. Can I wear it again?" + +Her mom smiled. She said, "Maybe. But only if you ask me first. And only if you don't spill butter on it." + +They laughed and cleaned up the kitchen. Then they made a new cake. And later, they danced in the garden. Lily wore her own dress, but she felt fancy anyway. She was happy. And so was her mom. +Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big dog. The dog is deaf. He cannot hear anything. He is angry and barks at them. + +"Run, Tim, run!" Sam says. "The dog is bad. He wants to bite us!" + +Tim and Sam run away from the dog. They look for a place to hide. They see a big tree. They climb the tree. The dog cannot climb. He stays under the tree and barks. + +"Ha ha, we are safe!" Tim says. "The dog cannot get us!" + +But the dog does not give up. He jumps and tries to reach them. He scratches the tree with his claws. He makes a big hole in the tree. + +"Oh no, the dog is strong!" Sam says. "He will make the tree fall!" + +Tim and Sam are scared. They look for a way to escape. They see a stick on the tree. The stick is long and strong. They break the stick from the tree. + +"Look, Sam, a stick!" Tim says. "We can use it to hit the dog!" + +Tim and Sam hold the stick together. They swing the stick at the dog. The dog is surprised. He feels the stick on his head. He yelps and runs away. + +"Yay, we did it!" Tim says. "We escaped from the dog!" + +Tim and Sam hug each other. They are happy and proud. They climb down the tree. They go back to their mom. They tell her their story. She hugs them and kisses them. + +"Well done, Tim and Sam!" she says. "You are brave and smart!" + +Tim and Sam smile. They love their mom. They love to play in the park. But they do not like the big dog. They hope they never see him again. +Lily was a little girl who liked to go to school. She had many friends in her class and a nice teacher. Every day, she learned new things and played with toys and books. + +But one day, Lily was not happy. She had a bad cold and had to stay at home. She missed her class and felt bored. She wanted to have fun and do something. + +She saw her big brother Tom in his room. He was doing his homework on his desk. He had many papers and pens and books. He looked busy and serious. + +Lily thought Tom needed some help. She went into his room and said, "Hi, Tom. Can I play with you?" + +Tom looked at her and said, "No, Lily. I have to do my homework. It is very important. Please go away and don't disturb me." + +Lily did not listen. She climbed on his desk and grabbed his papers and pens and books. She threw them on the floor and made a big mess. She said, "Look, Tom. I made a picture for you. Do you like it?" + +Tom was very angry. He shouted, "Lily, what are you doing? You ruined my homework. You are very naughty. Go away and don't disturb me." + +Lily was scared and sad. She ran out of his room and cried. She said, "I'm sorry, Tom. I just wanted to play with you. I don't have anyone to play with. I miss my class and my teacher and my friends." + +Tom heard her and felt sorry. He realized he was too harsh on her. He finished his homework and cleaned his desk. Then he went to her room and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I was too busy and rude. I know you are sick and bored. Do you want to play with me?" + +Lily smiled and said, "Yes, Tom. I want to play with you. Thank you for being nice to me." + +Tom hugged her and said, "You're welcome, Lily. I love you. You are my little sister." + +They played together and had fun. They forgot about their problems and were happy. +Ben liked to stretch in the morning. He felt his arms and legs get long and strong. He yawned and smiled. He wanted to have a good day. + +He went to the kitchen to find his mom. She was making breakfast. She had eggs, toast and juice. Ben loved juice. He said, "Mom, can I have some juice, please?" + +Mom said, "Sure, honey. Here you go." She poured some juice in a cup and gave it to Ben. Ben took the cup and said, "Thank you, mom." He was thirsty and happy. + +He drank the juice fast. He felt the juice go down his throat. He felt the juice in his tummy. He felt the juice make a bubble. He felt the bubble come up. He felt the bubble pop. He burped. + +He burped loud. He burped long. He burped like a lion. He was surprised. He was embarrassed. He looked at his mom. She looked at him. She laughed. She said, "Excuse you, Ben." + +Ben blushed. He said, "Excuse me, mom." He giggled. He said, "That was a big burp." Mom said, "Yes, it was. Next time, drink your juice slower, okay?" Ben said, "Okay, mom. I'm sorry." Mom said, "It's okay, honey. I love you." She hugged him. He hugged her back. He felt warm and cozy. He said, "I love you too, mom." He was still embarrassed, but he was also happy. He had a good day. +Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to slide, swing and run. But today it was raining. The rain made the grass wet and the dirt soft. Ben and Lily did not like the rain. They wanted to go home. + +"Mom, can we go home?" Ben asked. He was cold and wet. + +"Not yet, sweetie. We have to wait for Dad. He is coming soon." Mom said. She had an umbrella, but it was not big enough for all of them. + +Ben and Lily sighed. They looked around the park. They saw a big puddle of mud. It looked fun. They ran to the puddle and jumped in. The mud splashed on their clothes and faces. They laughed and made mud pies. + +"Look, Mom, we are making mud pies!" Lily shouted. She was happy. + +Mom looked at them and smiled. She was not angry. She knew they were having fun. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud honk. It was Dad. He had arrived in his car. He parked near the park and got out. He saw Ben and Lily in the mud. He was surprised. + +"Wow, you guys are very dirty!" Dad said. He was not mad. He thought they were cute. + +"Hi, Dad, we are playing in the mud!" Ben said. He was proud. + +"Hi, Dad, we made mud pies for you!" Lily said. She was excited. + +Dad laughed and hugged them. He did not mind the mud. He loved them. + +"Come on, let's go home. We can have a bath and some hot chocolate." Dad said. He took Mom's umbrella and held it over them. + +Ben and Lily nodded. They were tired and hungry. They followed Dad to the car. They were happy. They had a fun day in the park. +Lily and Ben were playing with blocks. They liked to make towers and houses with the blocks. They had many blocks of different colors: red, blue, green, and yellow. + +Lily wanted to use the yellow blocks for her tower. She liked yellow because it was bright and happy. She saw that Ben had some yellow blocks in his pile. She asked him, "Can I have some yellow blocks, please?" + +Ben said, "No, these are mine. You have enough blocks. Go away." He did not want to share with Lily. He liked yellow too, and he wanted to keep all the yellow blocks for himself. + +Lily felt angry and sad. She said, "That's not fair. You have to share. Give me some yellow blocks, now!" She reached for the yellow blocks in Ben's pile. + +Ben did not like that. He pushed Lily's hand away. He said, "No, no, no! Go away, Lily!" He slapped Lily's face with his hand. + +Lily cried out loud. She felt pain and shock. She said, "Ow, ow, ow! That hurts! Why did you slap me, Ben? That's not nice. That's mean!" + +Ben felt scared and sorry. He did not mean to hurt Lily. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I'm sorry. I was angry. I didn't want to slap you. Please don't cry." + +Lily and Ben looked at each other. They felt sad and confused. They did not know what to do. Sharing was difficult. Slapping was bad. They wanted to be friends, but they also wanted the yellow blocks. They needed help. They called for their mom. +Anna and Ben were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and catch it. They were having fun. + +But then, a thief came. He was a big man with a mean face. He saw the ball and wanted it. He ran to the ball and grabbed it. He laughed and said, "This is my ball now!" + +Anna and Ben were sad and angry. They wanted their ball back. They shouted, "No, that is our ball! Give it back!" + +The thief did not listen. He turned around and ran away. He thought he was fast and smart. + +But he did not see the hole in the ground. He stepped in the hole and fell down. He dropped the ball and hurt his leg. He cried and said, "Ow, ow, ow!" + +Anna and Ben saw what happened. They ran to the ball and picked it up. They were happy and relieved. They said, "Ha, ha, ha! That is what you get for being a thief!" + +They went back to playing with their ball. They were careful and watched out for other thieves. They were not anxious anymore. They were having fun. +Lily and Ben were playing with their dolls. Lily had a queen doll and Ben had a king doll. They made them talk to each other. + +"Hello, queen. You are very pretty," said the king doll. + +"Thank you, king. You are very brave," said the queen doll. + +They were having fun, but Lily wanted to improve her queen doll. She thought she could make her more beautiful. She took some scissors and cut her hair. She took some paint and colored her dress. She took some glue and stuck some feathers on her head. + +"Look, Ben. I improved my queen doll. She is more pretty now," said Lily. + +Ben looked at the queen doll. He did not like what Lily did. He thought she looked silly. He did not want to play with her anymore. + +"Lily, what did you do? You ruined your queen doll. She does not look pretty. She looks silly. I do not want to play with a silly queen," said Ben. + +Lily was sad. She did not think she ruined her queen doll. She thought she improved her. She did not understand why Ben did not like her. + +"Ben, I did not ruin her. I improved her. She is more pretty. Why do you not like her? She is not silly. She is still a queen," said Lily. + +Ben and Lily started to argue. They did not agree on the queen doll. They did not want to play with each other anymore. They took their dolls and went to different corners of the room. They were not happy. +Tom and Sam were brothers. They liked to play outside in the snow. But their mom said they had to wear coats. Tom had a red coat and Sam had a blue coat. + +One day, Tom had a bad idea. He wanted to send Sam's coat away. He thought it would be funny. He took Sam's coat and put it in a big box. He wrote a note on the box. The note said: "To the moon. From Sam." + +He asked a man to take the box to the post office. The man said yes. He did not know what was in the box. He put the box in his truck and drove away. + +Sam came outside and looked for his coat. He could not find it. He was cold and confused. He asked Tom: "Where is my coat?" + +Tom laughed and said: "I sent it to the moon. You can't have it back." + +Sam was very sad and angry. He started to cry. He ran to their mom and told her what Tom did. Their mom was very mad at Tom. She said: "That was a very mean thing to do. You have to say sorry to Sam and buy him a new coat." + +But Tom did not want to say sorry or buy a new coat. He said: "No, I don't. It was just a joke. Sam is silly." + +Their mom said: "No, you are silly. And you are in big trouble. You have to stay in your room for a long time. And you can't play outside or watch TV or have any fun." + +Tom did not like that. He felt sorry for himself. He wished he had not sent Sam's coat away. He wished he had been nice to his brother. But it was too late. He had made a big mistake. And he had to pay for it. +Ben and Mia were playing in the park. They saw a big truck with a picture of ice cream on it. They ran to the truck and asked for ice cream. + +"Hello, little ones. What flavor do you want?" the man in the truck said. + +"I want chocolate," Ben said. + +"I want strawberry," Mia said. + +The man gave them each a cone with ice cream. They paid him with some coins and said thank you. + +They licked their ice cream and smiled. It was cold and sweet and yummy. + +But then, a big dog came running to them. It barked and jumped and tried to get their ice cream. + +"Go away, dog!" Ben shouted. + +"Bad dog!" Mia cried. + +They tried to run away, but the dog was faster. It bit Ben's cone and ate his chocolate ice cream. Ben dropped his cone and cried. + +Then, it bit Mia's cone and ate her strawberry ice cream. Mia dropped her cone and cried too. + +The dog licked its mouth and wagged its tail. It liked ice cream. + +The man in the truck saw what happened. He felt sorry for Ben and Mia. He got out of the truck and chased the dog away. + +"Are you okay, little ones?" he asked. + +"No, we are not okay," Ben said. "The dog ate our ice cream. It was our ice cream. We paid for it." + +"I know, I know. That was a naughty dog. And an ugly dog too. It had no manners," the man said. + +He realized that Ben and Mia were very sad. He wanted to make them happy again. + +He had an idea. He went back to the truck and got two new cones with ice cream. He gave them to Ben and Mia. + +"Here, take these. They are on me. You can have any flavor you want," he said. + +Ben and Mia looked at the cones. They saw that they had two scoops of ice cream each. One scoop was chocolate and one scoop was strawberry. + +They smiled and took the cones. They licked their ice cream and smiled more. It was cold and sweet and yummy. + +"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" they said to the man. + +"You are welcome, welcome, welcome!" the man said. "Enjoy your ice cream. And watch out for ugly dogs." + +Ben and Mia nodded. They held their cones and walked away. They were happy again. They had ice cream. And they had a friend. +Tom and Mia are playing with their toys. Tom has a big rocket and Mia has a small planet. The planet is blue and shiny. Mia likes her planet very much. + +"Can I see your planet?" Tom asks Mia. + +"No, it is mine. You have your rocket," Mia says. + +"But I want to see it. It looks cool," Tom says. He tries to grab the planet from Mia's hand. + +"Stop it! Let go!" Mia shouts. She pulls the planet back. Tom and Mia start to fight over the planet. + +"Hey, what are you doing?" Mom comes into the room. She sees Tom and Mia fighting. She is not happy. + +"Tom and Mia, stop fighting right now. You have to share your toys. Fighting is not nice," Mom says. + +"But Mom, she won't let me see her planet. It is not fair," Tom says. + +"But Mom, he wants to take my planet. It is mine," Mia says. + +Mom sighs. She has an idea. + +"How about this? Mia, you can let Tom see your planet for a little bit. And Tom, you can let Mia play with your rocket for a little bit. Then you can switch back. How does that sound?" Mom says. + +Tom and Mia think about it. They nod. + +"Okay, Mom. We can try that," Tom says. + +"Okay, Mom. We can try that," Mia says. + +Mom smiles. She helps Tom and Mia to release their toys and swap them. Tom holds the blue planet and Mia holds the big rocket. They look at each other's toys. They smile. + +"Wow, your planet is really cool. It is so blue and shiny," Tom says. + +"Wow, your rocket is really cool. It is so big and fast," Mia says. + +They play with each other's toys for a while. They have fun. They are not fighting anymore. They are happy. Mom is happy too. She watches them play. She is proud of them. They have learned to share. +Lila was a girl who liked to help her mom in the garden. She learned the names of many herbs, like mint, rosemary, and basil. She liked to smell them and taste them, and sometimes she made tea with them. + +One day, a big bird came to the garden. It had shiny feathers and a long beak. It saw the herbs and wanted to eat them. It flew down and started to peck at the mint. Lila saw the bird and ran to the garden. She shouted, "Go away, bird! These are our herbs, not yours!" + +The bird looked at Lila and said, "Who are you to tell me what to do? I am a wise bird, and I know many things. I can answer any question you ask me. If you want me to leave, you have to ask me a hard question that I cannot answer." + +Lila thought for a moment. She remembered what her mom had told her about herbs. She said, "Okay, bird, I have a question for you. What herb is good for a sore throat, a headache, and a stomach ache?" + +The bird thought for a moment. It tried to remember what it had heard from other birds, or seen in books, or smelled in the air. But it could not think of any herb that could help with all those problems. It said, "I don't know. That is a hard question. You are a smart girl, and you know more about herbs than I do." + +Lila smiled and said, "The answer is ginger. Ginger is a good herb for a sore throat, a headache, and a stomach ache. My mom taught me that. Now you have to leave, bird, and let our herbs grow." + +The bird nodded and said, "You are right, ginger is a good herb. I am sorry for trying to eat your herbs. You have taught me something new today. I will leave now, and I will not come back. Goodbye, Lila, and thank you for being kind and wise." + +The bird flew away, and Lila went back to her mom. She told her what had happened, and her mom hugged her and said, "I am proud of you, Lila. You have used your words and your knowledge to solve a problem. You are a good helper and a good gardener." Lila felt happy and said, "I love you, mom. And I love our herbs." +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play and sing. One day, they see a big poster. It says: Singing Contest. Win a prize! + +"Let's go, Lily!" Tom says. "We can sing a funny song and win!" + +"OK, Tom!" Lily says. "But what song can we sing?" + +They think and think. Then they remember a song they learned at school. It is about a monkey and a banana. They practice the song. They make funny faces and sounds. + +The next day, they go to the contest. There are many children. They all sing different songs. Some songs are sad. Some songs are happy. Some songs are loud. Some songs are soft. + +Tom and Lily wait for their turn. They are a little scared. But they are also excited. They hold hands and go on the stage. They see the judges and the audience. They smile and say hello. + +Then they start to sing. They sing the funny song about the monkey and the banana. They make the audience laugh. They make the judges smile. They have fun. + +When they finish, they hear a big clap. The audience and the judges clap for them. They are happy. They bow and say thank you. + +The judges announce the winner. They say: "The winner is...Tom and Lily! They sang a funny song and made us all happy. They win a prize!" + +Tom and Lily are very happy. They hug each other. They get their prize. It is a big basket of bananas. They laugh and say: "This is the best prize ever! We love bananas!" + +They share the bananas with their friends. They eat and sing. They have a great day. They are happy. They are winners. +Anna and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to dig holes and make mud pies. They did not like to wear shoes or gloves. They liked to feel the dirt on their hands and feet. + +"Look, I made a big pie!" Anna said, showing Ben her mud creation. + +"Wow, that's great!" Ben said. "Can I have a bite?" + +He pretended to eat the pie, making Anna giggle. + +They heard their mom calling them from the house. "Anna! Ben! Time to come in and get ready for dinner!" + +They looked at each other and panicked. They were filthy. They had mud on their faces, hair, clothes, and nails. They knew their mom would be angry and give them a lecture. + +"Quick, let's go to the hose and wash off!" Anna said. + +They ran to the hose and turned it on. They sprayed each other with water, trying to get rid of the mud. They laughed and splashed, but they did not notice that they were making a bigger mess. + +Their mom came out and saw them. She was not happy. She turned off the hose and took them by the hand. + +"Anna and Ben, what have you done?" she asked. "You are soaking wet and still dirty. And look at the garden, it's a swamp! How many times have I told you to be careful and clean when you play outside?" + +She took them inside and gave them a lecture. She told them to take off their clothes and go to the bath. She said they would have to clean the garden tomorrow. She said they were in trouble. + +Anna and Ben felt sorry. They did not mean to make their mom mad. They liked to play in the garden, but they did not like to get a lecture. They wished they had listened to their mom and stayed clean. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big snowman in their yard. It had a hat, a scarf, and a carrot nose. They wanted to say hello to the snowman. + +"Hi, snowman!" Ben said. "Do you want to play with us?" + +The snowman did not answer. He just stood there, looking cold and sad. + +"Maybe he is lonely," Lily said. "Let's unite him with his friends." + +They looked around and saw some other snowmen in the street. They had hats, scarves, and carrot noses too. Ben and Lily decided to roll the snowman to join them. + +They pushed and pulled the snowman with all their strength. It was hard work, but they did not give up. They wanted to make the snowman happy. + +They reached the other snowmen and put their snowman next to them. They smiled and waved at the snowmen. + +"Hello, snowmen!" Lily said. "We brought you a friend. Now you can play together." + +The snowmen did not answer. They just stood there, looking cold and sad. + +Ben and Lily felt confused. They thought the snowmen would be happy to unite. They wondered what was wrong. + +Then they saw the sun shining in the sky. It was very bright and hot. The snowmen started to melt. They lost their hats, scarves, and carrot noses. They became smaller and smaller. + +Ben and Lily felt sad. They liked the snowmen. They did not want them to go away. + +They ran to their snowman and hugged him. They tried to keep him warm. + +"Don't worry, snowman," Ben said. "We will always be your friends. We love you." + +The snowman did not answer. He just felt warm and happy. He smiled at Ben and Lily. He was glad to unite with them. +Tom and Anna liked to play in the park. They liked to run, swing, slide and climb. Sometimes they also liked to sit on the bench and watch the birds and the flowers. + +One day, they saw an elderly lady on the bench. She had a big bag of bread and she was feeding the birds. Tom and Anna wanted to feed the birds too. They ran to the lady and asked her for some bread. + +"Please, can we have some bread?" they said. + +The lady smiled and gave them each a piece of bread. Tom and Anna thanked her and threw the bread to the birds. The birds came closer and ate the bread. Tom and Anna were happy. + +But then, the bread was gone. The lady had no more bread in her bag. Tom and Anna wanted more bread. They asked the lady again. + +"Please, can we have more bread?" they said. + +The lady shook her head and said, "No, I'm sorry. The bread is all gone. You have to end now." + +Tom and Anna were not happy. They did not want to end. They wanted more bread. They started to cry and whine. + +"More bread, more bread!" they said. + +The lady was not happy either. She did not like the noise and the fuss. She wanted to enjoy the park and the birds. She said, "Stop it, stop it! You are being rude and greedy. You have to share and be polite. Go away and leave me alone." + +Tom and Anna were scared and sad. They did not like the lady's words and tone. They ran away from the bench and from the park. They did not want to play anymore. They wanted to go home. +Sara was a little girl who loved to dance. She liked to spin and jump and twirl in her pink dress. She felt very graceful and happy when she danced. + +One day, she saw a pig in the farm next to her house. The pig was big and round and dirty. He was eating some corn and making loud noises. Sara thought he was very funny and wanted to play with him. + +She ran to the fence and called out, "Hello, pig! Do you want to join me and dance?" + +The pig looked up and snorted. He said, "No, thank you. I don't like to dance. I like to eat and sleep and roll in the mud. Dancing is silly and hard and not for pigs." + +Sara felt sad and hurt. She said, "But dancing is fun and easy and for everyone. You can be graceful and happy too, if you try. Please, join me and dance." + +The pig shook his head and said, "No, no, no. I don't want to join you and dance. Go away and leave me alone. You are a silly and rude girl." + +Sara felt angry and cried. She ran away and told her mother what happened. Her mother hugged her and said, "Don't mind the pig, Sara. He is a grumpy and stubborn animal. He doesn't know how to be kind and friendly. You are a sweet and brave girl. You tried to share your joy and invite him to join you. That was very nice of you. But not everyone will appreciate your offer. Some people will say no and be mean. That's okay. You can still dance and be graceful and happy. And you can still find other friends who will join you and dance with you." + +Sara smiled and said, "Thank you, mommy. You are right. I will not let the pig make me sad. I will dance and be graceful and happy. And I will find other friends who will join me and dance with me." + +The moral value of the story is: Be kind and generous, but don't let others' rejection and rudeness affect your happiness. Keep doing what you love and find friends who share your passion. +Anna and Ben were bored. They wanted to play, but it was raining outside. They looked around the house for something fun to do. + +"Let's go to the attic!" Ben said. "Maybe we can find some toys or books there." + +"OK, but we have to be quiet," Anna said. "Mom and Dad are working in their room." + +They climbed the stairs to the attic. It was dark and dusty. They saw some boxes and bags. They opened them and looked inside. + +"Wow, look at this!" Ben said. He held up a toy car. "It has wheels and lights and sounds. Can I play with it?" + +"Sure, but be careful," Anna said. She found a doll. "She has a dress and a hat and shoes. Can I play with her?" + +"Sure, but be gentle," Ben said. + +They played with their new toys for a while. They made up stories and noises. They had fun. + +But then they heard a growl. They looked around. They saw a big, black cat. It had yellow eyes and sharp teeth. It was hungry. It wanted to eat them. + +"Help!" Anna screamed. "There's a cat!" + +"Run!" Ben shouted. "It's going to get us!" + +They dropped their toys and ran to the door. But the door was locked. They tried to open it, but they couldn't. They were trapped. + +"Mom! Dad!" they cried. "We're in the attic! There's a cat!" + +But Mom and Dad didn't hear them. They were busy with their work. They didn't know that Anna and Ben were in the attic. They didn't know that they were in danger. + +The cat moved closer. It hissed and snarled. It was ready to pounce. + +Anna and Ben hugged each other. They were scared. They wished they had never gone to the attic. They wished they had something to supply the cat with. Maybe then it would leave them alone. +Tom and Lily were best friends. They liked to play with blocks, dolls and cars. They shared their snacks and their secrets. They always had fun together. + +One day, Tom found a new toy. It was a big red marker. He wanted to draw with it. He did not ask Lily if she wanted to play too. He did not share his marker. He drew on the walls, the floor and the table. He made a big mess. + +Lily saw what Tom was doing. She was sad and angry. She did not like the marker. She did not like the mess. She did not like Tom. She said, "Tom, you are bad. You are not my friend. Go away." + +Tom was shocked. He did not mean to hurt Lily. He just wanted to have fun. He looked at his marker. He looked at his mess. He looked at Lily. He felt sorry. He said, "Lily, I am sorry. I was wrong. Please be my friend. Please don't go." + +But Lily did not listen. She took her blocks, her dolls and her cars. She left Tom alone. She did not look back. + +Tom was lonely. He had no one to play with. He had no one to talk to. He had no one to share with. He had no one to have fun with. He had only his marker and his mess. He regretted what he did. He wished he could say sorry to Lily. He wished he could be her friend again. He wished he could make things right. But he did not know how. He did not know where Lily was. He did not know if she would ever come back. He cried. He cried a lot. +Sara and Tom are playing in the kitchen. They have a lot of toys and they make a lot of noise. They hear Mom coming from the living room. + +"Uh-oh, Mom is here!" Sara says. "We have to clean up!" + +But Tom does not want to clean up. He likes the messy kitchen. He says, "No, I want to play more!" + +Mom opens the door and sees the toys everywhere. She is not happy. She says, "What is this? You made a big mess! You have to help me clean up now!" + +She gives Sara and Tom a mop and a bucket. Sara takes the mop and starts to wipe the floor. Tom does not take the mop. He throws the bucket on the floor and splashes water everywhere. + +"Tom, stop that!" Mom says. "You are making it worse!" + +Sara is mad at Tom. She says, "Tom, you are bad! You have to help Mom and me!" + +Tom does not listen. He runs away and hides under the table. Mom and Sara have to clean up the whole kitchen by themselves. They are tired and sad. Tom is alone and bored. He wishes he had helped them. He feels sorry. +Sara and Ben like to play on the swings. They swing high and low, and laugh and sing. They are happy. + +One day, a big boy comes to the park. He is mean and rude. He pushes Sara and Ben off the swings. He says, "These are my swings. Go away, you weird kids." + +Sara and Ben are scared and sad. They run away from the big boy. They look for a new place to play. They see a big slide. They think it looks fun. + +They climb up the ladder. They wait for their turn. Sara goes first. She slides down fast and smooth. She smiles and says, "That was fun, Ben. Come on, try it." + +Ben nods. He sits on the slide. He pushes himself down. But he slides too fast. He loses his balance. He falls off the slide. He hits his head on the ground. He cries out loud. + +Sara runs to him. She sees blood on his head. She is scared and worried. She says, "Ben, are you okay? Ben, talk to me." + +But Ben does not talk. He does not move. He does not open his eyes. His brain is hurt. He is gone. + +Sara screams and cries. She hugs Ben. She says, "Ben, please wake up. Ben, I love you." + +But Ben does not wake up. He does not hear her. He does not love her back. + +The end. +Ben and Mia were playing in the garden. They had a big saw that they used to cut wood. They liked to make things with the wood, like houses and boats and cars.

She was my friend. I want her back!" Her mom hugged her and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I didn't know you buried your doll in the sand. The truck was doing its job. It had to move the sand to another place. Maybe we can find another doll for you. A new friend." + +Lily shook her head. She said, "No, I don't want another doll. I want Anna. She was brilliant. She was the best doll ever." She sobbed and sobbed. She missed Anna very much. She wished she had never buried her in the sand. She wished she had stayed with her and played with her.

She was so excited to learn something new. + +At the end of the day, her mom hugged her and said, "You can always tie real knots, but you can never tie fake trust.

From then on, she knew the true value of trust and what it meant to count on someone. +"Mommy, can I have some sauce?" Little Emma asked. Her mommy nodded and smiled.

She smiled and said, "I shine!" + +She ran to the living room, where her mom was reading a book. She shouted, "Mom, look at me! I made you a gift!" + +Her mom looked up and saw Lila in the blouse. She was shocked. She did not know what to say. She saw the crayon marks, the stickers, and the glitter. She saw the smile on Lila's face. She saw the love in Lila's eyes. + +She hugged Lila and said, "Thank you, sweetie. You are very creative. And you do shine!" +Tom and Lily were brother and sister. They liked to play in the garden with their toys. One day, they found a big towel on the grass. It was blue and soft and had a picture of a fish on it. + +"Let's play with the towel!" said Tom. He picked it up and wrapped it around his shoulders like a cape. He ran around the garden, pretending to be a superhero. + +"No, let's play with the towel!" said Lily. She wanted to use the towel as a blanket for her dolls. She pulled the towel from Tom's shoulders and ran to the other side of the garden. + +Tom was angry. He chased Lily and tried to get the towel back. Lily was playful. She laughed and dodged Tom's grabs. She threw the towel in the air and caught it again. + +Tom was more angry. He ran faster and faster, until he caught up with Lily. He pushed her to the ground and snatched the towel from her hands. He shouted, "It's mine! It's mine!" + +Lily was hurt. She scraped her knee on the grass and started to cry. She looked at Tom with sad eyes and said, "That was mean! You hurt me! You are a bad brother!" + +Tom felt sorry. He saw the blood on Lily's knee and the tears on her face. He realized he had been selfish and rude. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I was wrong. Can you forgive me?" + +But Lily did not forgive him. She was still crying and angry. She said, "No, I can't forgive you. You are mean and you don't share. I don't want to play with you anymore!" + +She got up and ran to the house, leaving Tom alone with the towel. He felt sad and lonely. He wished he had been nicer to Lily. He wished he had shared the towel with her. He learned that being greedy and hurting others is not fun. He learned that sharing and being kind is better. But it was too late. He had lost his sister's trust and friendship. He had lost his chance to play with her. He had a bad ending. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big hill with many flowers. They wanted to climb the hill and see what was on the other side. + +They ran up the hill, holding hands. They saw a big tree with many fruits. They wanted to pick some fruits and eat them. They thought they would be yummy. + +They reached the tree and saw a basket under it. The basket was full of fruits. They were red and yellow and green and purple. They looked very yummy. + +"Wow, look at all these fruits!" Tom said. "Let's take some and eat them!" + +"OK, but we have to be careful. Maybe someone left them here for a reason," Lily said. + +They took some fruits from the basket and bit into them. They were very sweet and juicy. They smiled and ate more. + +But then, something strange happened. They started to feel funny. They felt their noses grow longer and their ears grow bigger. They felt their hair change color and their feet shrink. They looked at each other and screamed. + +They had turned into funny animals. Tom was a monkey and Lily was a rabbit. They had eaten magic fruits. + +They dropped the fruits and ran away. They stumbled and fell and rolled down the hill. They were scared and confused. + +They reached the bottom of the hill and saw their mom and dad. They ran to them and hugged them. They hoped they would change back to normal. + +"Mom, Dad, help us!" they cried. "We ate magic fruits and turned into animals!" + +Mom and Dad looked at them and laughed. They were not really animals. They had put on masks and costumes. It was a prank. They had hidden the basket under the tree and waited for them to find it. + +"Gotcha!" Mom and Dad said. "It was just a joke. We wanted to surprise you. Happy April Fools' Day!" + +Tom and Lily took off their masks and costumes. They realized they had been tricked. They felt silly and relieved. + +They laughed with their mom and dad. They hugged them and said they loved them. They decided to share the fruits with them. They were still yummy, but not magic. They had a fun and happy day. +Tom and Mia like to build with blocks. They have many blocks of different colors and shapes. They can make houses, towers, cars, and animals with their blocks. + +One day, they decide to have a contest. Who can build the best thing with their blocks? They ask their mom to be the judge. Mom says yes and smiles. + +Tom and Mia start to build. Tom builds a big tower with red and blue blocks. He makes it very tall and strong. Mia builds a car with yellow and green blocks. She makes it very smooth and fast. + +They finish their building and show their mom. Mom looks at both of them and says, "Wow, you both did a great job! I like your tower, Tom. It is very high and colorful. I like your car, Mia. It is very smooth and fast. You both are very creative and smart. I can't choose one over the other. You both win!" + +Tom and Mia are happy. They hug their mom and thank her. Then they play with their blocks together. They share their blocks and make more things. They have fun and are good friends. +Lila was a new bird in the big cage. She had many feathers, but they were not bright like the other birds. They were gray and brown and dull. She was scared of the big cage and the loud noises. She did not know any of the other birds. She trembled in a corner and hoped no one would see her. + +But one bird saw her. His name was Riko and he had red and yellow feathers. He was curious about the new bird. He flew to her and said, "Hello, I am Riko. What is your name?" + +Lila was surprised and afraid. She did not answer. She hid her head under her wing and trembled more. + +Riko did not understand. He wanted to be friendly. He said, "Don't be scared. I am not mean. I want to be your friend. Do you want to play with me?" + +Lila peeked from under her wing. She saw Riko's bright feathers and kind eyes. She felt a little less scared. She said, "I am Lila. I am new here. I don't know how to play." + +Riko smiled. He said, "That's okay. I can teach you. There are many fun things to do in the big cage. You can fly and sing and eat and make nests. Come with me. I will show you." + +Lila nodded. She felt a little more brave. She followed Riko out of the corner and into the big cage. She saw many other birds with different feathers and voices. They looked at her and said hello. She said hello back. She felt a little more happy. + +She still trembled sometimes, but not as much as before. She learned how to play and sing and eat and make nests. She made friends with Riko and the other birds. She liked the big cage and the loud noises. She was not a new bird anymore. She was a happy bird. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play outside. They saw a big tree with many flowers and bees. They wanted to climb the tree and see the bees up close. + +"Let's go, Lily!" Ben said. "We can climb the tree and find the hive." + +"OK, Ben!" Lily said. "But we have to be careful. Bees can sting us if we make them angry." + +They ran to the tree and started to climb. They used their hands and feet to hold on to the branches. They saw the bees flying around the flowers and making a buzzing sound. + +"Look, Lily! There is the hive!" Ben said. He pointed to a round thing hanging from a branch. It was brown and had a hole in it. "The bees live there and make honey." + +"Wow, Ben! It is so big and shiny!" Lily said. She wanted to touch it and see what it felt like. She reached out her hand and moved closer to the hive. + +"Wait, Lily! Don't do that!" Ben said. "The bees will not like it. They will think you are trying to take their honey. They will come out and sting you!" + +But Lily did not listen. She was too curious and playful. She touched the hive with her finger. It was sticky and warm. She smiled and said, "It feels nice, Ben!" + +But then, the bees noticed her. They came out of the hole and flew around her. They were angry and scared. They made a loud buzzing sound and tried to sting her. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Lily cried. She felt a sharp pain on her hand and arm. She let go of the hive and fell from the branch. She landed on the ground and started to cry. + +"Help, help, help!" Ben shouted. He saw his sister fall and get hurt. He was scared and sad. He climbed down the tree and ran to her. He hugged her and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I'm sorry. Are you OK?" + +Lily was not OK. She had many red bumps on her skin. They were swollen and itchy. She felt sick and dizzy. She said, "I'm sorry, Ben. I'm sorry. I was silly and naughty. I should have listened to you." + +Ben said, "It's OK, Lily. It's OK. We will go home and tell Mom and Dad. They will help you. They will make you feel better." + +They held hands and walked home. They learned a lesson. They learned that bees are not playful. They learned that they should not touch the hive. They learned that they should listen to each other. +Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play in the woods behind their house. One day, they find a big axe in a pile of leaves. Tim picks up the axe and swings it around. + +"Look, Sam, I am a woodcutter!" Tim says. "I can chop down any tree I want!" + +Sam laughs and claps his hands. He thinks Tim is joking. He does not know that the axe is sharp and heavy. + +"Be careful, Tim!" Sam says. "That axe is not a toy. It can hurt you or the trees." + +Tim does not listen to Sam. He thinks he is having fun. He runs to a big tree and raises the axe. He is about to hit the tree when he hears a loud voice. + +"Stop, Tim! Stop!" The voice says. "That is my tree. I live in it. It is my home." + +Tim and Sam are surprised. They look up and see a squirrel on a branch. The squirrel is angry and scared. He does not want Tim to chop down his tree. + +"Who are you?" Tim asks. "Why are you talking to me?" + +"I am a squirrel," The squirrel says. "And I am not joking. You are not a woodcutter. You are a naughty boy. Put down that axe and go away. Leave my tree alone." + +Tim feels ashamed and scared. He drops the axe and runs to Sam. Sam hugs him and says sorry to the squirrel. + +"We are sorry, Mr. Squirrel," Sam says. "We did not know you live here. We will not bother you or your tree again." + +The squirrel nods and says thank you. He tells them to be more careful and kind in the woods. He says there are many animals and plants that need their trees to be safe and happy. + +Tim and Sam agree and say goodbye to the squirrel. They take the axe and put it back in the pile of leaves. They decide to play something else. They think of a perfect game. They pretend to be squirrels and climb the trees. They joke and laugh and have fun. They are good brothers and good friends to the woods. +Tim and Jen are twins. They like to go to the park with Mom and Dad. They can play on the swings, the slide and the sandbox. They can see many things from the park. They can see the big road, the tall trees and the blue sky. They like the view from the park. + +One day, they go to the park, but the sky is not blue. It is gray and dark. They hear loud noises. They are thunder and rain. The rain makes the swings, the slide and the sandbox wet. The wet makes the park slippery and muddy. They do not like the view from the park. They think the view is bad. + +Mom and Dad say they have to go home. They do not want to get sick from the rain. Tim and Jen are sad. They want to play more. They do not want to go home. They cry and fuss. Mom and Dad try to calm them down. They say they can come back to the park another day, when the sky is blue and the view is good. They say they can do other things at home, like read books, draw pictures and play games. They say they love them very much. + +Tim and Jen stop crying and fussing. They listen to Mom and Dad. They think maybe they can have fun at home too. They say they love Mom and Dad too. They hold their hands and go home. They hope the rain will stop soon and the view will be good again. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play together. One day, they visit Ben's uncle. Ben's uncle has a big yacht. It is white and blue. Ben's uncle lets them go on the yacht. + +"Wow, this is so cool!" Ben says. "Look, there is a wheel and a flag and a horn!" + +Anna nods. She likes the yacht too. She sees something shiny in the water. She points to it. "What is that?" she asks. + +Ben's uncle smiles. He looks at the water. He sees a pink dolphin. It jumps and splashes. "That is a dolphin," he says. "It is a special kind of dolphin. It is pink because it eats a lot of shrimp." + +Anna and Ben are amazed. They have never seen a pink dolphin before. They wave to the dolphin. The dolphin waves back with its tail. It makes a funny noise. Anna and Ben laugh. + +"Can we play with the dolphin?" Anna asks. + +Ben's uncle nods. He gives them some fish. "You can feed the dolphin," he says. "But be careful. Don't fall in the water." + +Anna and Ben are happy. They throw the fish to the dolphin. The dolphin catches them and eats them. It thanks them with a kiss. Anna and Ben giggle. They have a lot of fun on the yacht. They love the pink dolphin. They say goodbye to the dolphin and to Ben's uncle. They go home with a big smile. They tell their parents about their adventure. They dream of the yacht and the pink dolphin. They are the best friends ever. +Tom and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. Tom had a car and Lily had a doll. They were having fun until Tom saw Lily's doll. He wanted to play with it too. + +"Give me your doll!" Tom said to Lily. + +"No, it's mine!" Lily said to Tom. + +Tom did not listen. He ran to Lily and grabbed her doll. Lily was angry and sad. She tried to get her doll back, but Tom was stronger. He pulled the doll's hair and ripped her cloth dress. Lily cried. + +"Stop it, Tom! You are mean!" Lily said to Tom. + +Tom did not care. He threw the doll on the floor and stepped on it. He broke the doll's arm and leg. Lily cried louder. + +"Tom, Lily, what's going on?" Mom said. She heard the loud noise and came to the living room. She saw the broken doll and the torn cloth. She saw Lily's tears and Tom's smirk. She was very mad. + +"Tom, how could you do this? You hurt Lily and her doll. You are in big trouble!" Mom said to Tom. + +She took Tom by the hand and dragged him to his room. She told him to stay there until she said so. She closed the door and locked it. Tom was scared and sorry. He stared at the wall and wished he had not been so mean. He wished he had shared with Lily. He wished he had a toy to play with. But he had nothing. He was alone. He cried. +Anna and Ben were playing with their blocks. They built a big tower with many colors. Anna was happy with her tower. She liked how it looked. + +"Look at my tower, Ben!" Anna said. "It is so tall and pretty!" + +Ben looked at Anna's tower. He felt jealous. He wanted a tower like that. He did not like his tower. It was small and boring. + +"I want your tower, Anna!" Ben said. "Give it to me!" + +"No, Ben!" Anna said. "This is my tower! I made it!" + +Ben was angry. He pushed Anna's tower. The blocks scatter all over the floor. Anna was sad. She cried. + +"Ben, why did you do that?" Anna said. "You broke my tower!" + +Ben did not say anything. He felt bad. He saw that Anna had no blocks left. He had many blocks. He did not need them all. + +"I'm sorry, Anna," Ben said. "I was jealous of your tower. It was not nice of me to push it." + +He gave some of his blocks to Anna. He helped her to build a new tower. They made it bigger and prettier than before. They shared their blocks and their colors. + +Anna smiled. She was not sad anymore. She hugged Ben. + +"Thank you, Ben," Anna said. "You are a good friend." + +Ben smiled too. He was not angry anymore. He hugged Anna back. + +"You're welcome, Anna," Ben said. "You are a good friend too." +Tom and Anna were playing in the park. They liked to search for bugs and flowers. They had a big jar to keep their finds. + +"Look, Anna, I found a red ladybug!" Tom said, holding up his jar. + +"Wow, Tom, it is so pretty!" Anna said. "Can I see?" + +Tom gave her the jar and Anna looked at the ladybug. She smiled and said, "Thank you, Tom. You are very compassionate. You share your things with me." + +Tom smiled back and said, "You are welcome, Anna. You are my best friend." + +They hugged and then continued to search for more bugs and flowers. + +They saw a big tree with a hole in it. They wondered what was inside. They walked closer and peeked inside. + +"Wow, look, Tom, there is a vest in there!" Anna said, pointing at a blue vest hanging from a branch. + +"Who do you think it belongs to?" Tom asked, curious. + +"Maybe it belongs to a squirrel or a bird," Anna said, giggling. + +"Maybe we should leave it there. It might be their home," Tom said, wisely. + +"OK, Tom, you are right. Let's go and search for something else," Anna said, nodding. + +They left the vest in the tree and went to search for more fun things in the park. They had a great day together. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. The park has a slide, a swing, and a sandbox. Lily and Tom use the slide and the swing. They have fun. + +One day, they see a new thing in the park. It is a small house. It has a door, a window, and a roof. Lily and Tom want to see the small house. They run to the small house. + +"Can we use the small house?" Lily asks Tom. + +"I don't know. Maybe it is for someone else." Tom says. + +They look around. They do not see anyone. They open the door. The small house is empty. It has a table, a chair, and a toy. Lily and Tom smile. They go inside the small house. + +"This is our small house now!" Lily says. + +"Yes, it is. We can play here." Tom says. + +They use the table, the chair, and the toy. They pretend to be a family. They have more fun. They like the small house. They are happy. +Lily wanted to mail a card to her grandma. She drew a picture of a flower and wrote "I love you" on it. She asked her mom for a stamp. + +"Sorry, Lily, we don't have any stamps left. We need to buy some more," her mom said. + +"Can we go to the store now?" Lily asked. + +"Not now, sweetie. I have to work. Maybe later," her mom said. + +Lily was sad. She wanted to mail her card today. She looked around the house and saw her dad's staff. Her dad was a doctor and he had a staff with a snake on it. He used it to help sick people. Lily thought maybe the staff could help her mail her card. She took the staff and went outside. + +She saw a mailman walking on the street. He had a big bag of letters and packages. Lily ran after him and said, "Hello, Mr. Mailman. Can you mail my card to my grandma?" + +The mailman stopped and looked at Lily. He saw the staff in her hand and said, "Hey, that's a very expensive staff. Where did you get it?" + +"It's my dad's. He's a doctor. He lets me use it," Lily lied. + +The mailman did not believe her. He said, "I don't think so. This staff belongs to a hospital. You should not take things that are not yours. That's very naughty. Give it back to me. I'll return it to the hospital." + +Lily did not want to give back the staff. She said, "No, it's mine. I need it to mail my card. Please, Mr. Mailman, mail my card." + +The mailman shook his head. He said, "No, I can't mail your card. You need a stamp for that. And you need to give back the staff. It's not yours. It's very expensive and important. If you lose it or break it, your dad will be very angry and sad. And so will the sick people who need it. You don't want to make them angry and sad, do you?" + +Lily thought about it. She did not want to make her dad or the sick people angry and sad. She realized she made a mistake. She said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Mailman. You're right. I should not take things that are not mine. Here, take the staff. I'll ask my mom for a stamp later." + +The mailman smiled. He said, "That's very good, Lily. I'm glad you understand. Here, I'll give you a sticker for being honest and brave. And I'll mail your card for you. I'm sure your grandma will love it." + +Lily smiled too. She said, "Thank you, Mr. Mailman. You're very nice. I'm sorry for being naughty. I'll never do it again." + +The mailman gave her a hug and said, "You're welcome, Lily. You're a good girl. Have a nice day." + +Lily waved goodbye and went back home. She learned a lesson. She learned that she should not take things that are not hers. She learned that some things are very expensive and important. She learned that being honest and brave is better than being naughty and lying. She was happy that she mailed her card to her grandma. She hoped her grandma would be happy too. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and catch it. Sometimes they missed the ball and it rolled away. Then they had to run after it and bring it back. + +One time, the ball rolled too far and went under a big van. The van was enormous and shiny. It had four big wheels and a loud horn. Tom and Lily were scared of the van. They did not want to go under it. + +"Who will get the ball?" Tom asked Lily. + +"Not me," Lily said. "You are bigger and braver. You go." + +Tom did not want to go either, but he did not want to lose the ball. He crawled under the van and reached for the ball. He felt something poke his hand. It was a sharp stick. It hurt. + +"Ow!" Tom cried. "There is a stick under the van. It poked me." + +Lily heard Tom and got worried. She crawled under the van too and saw Tom holding his hand. She saw the stick and the ball. + +"Are you okay?" Lily asked Tom. + +"Yes, I am okay," Tom said. "But it still hurts." + +Lily hugged Tom and said, "I am sorry. You are very brave. Here is the ball. Let's go back to the park and play." + +Tom smiled and said, "Okay. Thank you, Lily. You are very kind." + +They took the ball and crawled out from under the van. They ran back to the park and played with the ball. They did not let the ball roll under the van again. They had fun. +Sam and Mia are playing in the garden. They see a hose on the grass. Sam wants to spray water with the hose. He picks up the hose and turns the knob. + +"Look, Mia, I can make water come out!" Sam says. + +Mia runs over to see. She sees the water coming out of the hose. It is a thick stream of water. It makes a loud sound. + +"Wow, that is cool!" Mia says. "Can I try?" + +Sam nods and gives the hose to Mia. Mia holds the hose and pushes the knob. But nothing happens. The water stops. + +"Why is it not working?" Mia asks. + +Sam looks at the hose. He sees a kink in the hose. The kink is blocking the water. + +"Here, let me help you," Sam says. He walks over to the kink and pushes it with his hand. The kink goes away and the water starts again. + +"Yay, it works!" Mia says. She sprays the water in the air. It makes a rainbow. + +Sam and Mia laugh and play with the hose. They have fun in the garden. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to look at the clouds and imagine what they were. Lily saw a cloud that looked like a bunny. Ben saw a cloud that looked like a car. They laughed and pointed at the clouds. + +But then they saw a cloud that looked troubled. It was dark and angry. It made loud noises and flashed bright lights. Lily and Ben were scared. They ran to their mom, who was sitting on a bench. + +"Mom, mom, look at that cloud!" Lily cried. "It is troubled and mean. It wants to hurt us!" + +Mom hugged Lily and Ben. She looked at the cloud and smiled. "That cloud is not mean, my loves. It is just different. It has a lot of water and energy inside. It wants to share them with the earth. It is making rain and thunder and lightning. They are not bad, they are part of nature. We can accept them and enjoy them." + +Lily and Ben looked at mom. They were not sure. They still felt scared. Mom took them to a shelter under a tree. She gave them a blanket and some cookies. She told them stories about the rain and the thunder and the lightning. She told them how they help the plants and the animals and the people. She told them how they make rainbows and puddles and mud pies. + +Lily and Ben listened to mom. They felt better. They saw the rain and the thunder and the lightning in a new way. They saw how they were beautiful and powerful and fun. They decided to accept them and enjoy them. They thanked mom for her stories and her cookies. They hugged her and smiled. They looked at the clouds and imagined what they were. +Mia and Leo love to watch videos on the big screen. They like to see cute animals and funny people. Sometimes they laugh and clap their hands. Sometimes they learn new words and colors. + +One day, Mia and Leo find a new video on the big screen. It has a picture of a cute puppy. They press the button to play it. They are very excited to see the puppy. + +But the video is not what it seems. It is a scary video. It has loud noises and scary faces. The puppy turns into a monster. It growls and jumps at the screen. Mia and Leo scream and cry. They are very afraid. + +"Mia, Leo, what's wrong?" Mommy comes running into the room. She sees the scary video and turns it off. She hugs Mia and Leo and tries to calm them down. + +"Who put this video on the big screen?" Mommy asks. "It is not for little kids. It is very mean and scary." + +Mia and Leo don't know. They are still shaking and sobbing. They don't want to watch any more videos. They want to cuddle with Mommy and forget the scary video. They wish they never saw the cute puppy. It was a bad video. It was a bad day. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big truck with a long ladder on it. The truck stopped near their house and some men got out. They wore hats and clothes that were black and dirty. + +"What are they doing?" Lily asked Tom. + +"They are going to clean the chimney," Tom said. "The chimney is where the smoke comes out of the fire. Sometimes it gets too dirty and needs to be cleaned." + +Lily nodded. She wanted to see how they cleaned the chimney. She and Tom ran to the fence and watched. One of the men climbed up the ladder with a big brush. He put the brush inside the chimney and moved it up and down. A lot of dust and soot came out of the chimney and made the air gray. + +"Wow, look at that!" Tom said. "He is going very fast. He is speeding with the brush." + +"Yes, he is," Lily said. "But he is also making a big mess. Look at his face. It is all black and dirty too." + +The man heard them and smiled. He came down the ladder and walked to the fence. He wiped his face with a cloth and said hello to the twins. + +"Hello, little ones," he said. "Do you like to watch me clean the chimney?" + +"Yes, we do," Tom and Lily said. "But why do you have to do it? Why does the chimney get dirty?" + +The man explained that the fire in the fireplace made smoke and ash that stuck to the inside of the chimney. If the chimney was not cleaned, it could catch fire or block the smoke from going out. + +"That sounds bad," Lily said. + +"It is," the man said. "That's why we have to speed with the brush and make sure the chimney is clean and safe." + +The twins thanked the man for telling them and waved goodbye. They went back to their house and told their mom what they had seen. They decided that cleaning the chimney was a hard and dirty job, but also very important. They also decided that they wanted to play with the brush and pretend to be chimney cleaners. But their mom said no. She said they had to stay away from the fire and the chimney and play with their toys instead. +Sara was very excite when she saw a big pile of newspaper in the street. She liked to look at the pictures and the words, even if she did not know what they said. She ran to the pile and picked up a newspaper. She saw a picture of a dog with a red hat. She smiled and said, "Look, Mommy, a funny dog!" + +Mommy was not so excite. She was poor and had no money to buy food or clothes. She looked at the newspaper and saw a headline that said, "Big Lottery Today! Win Millions!" She sighed and said, "If only we could win the lottery, Sara. Then we could have a better life." + +Sara did not understand what Mommy said. She did not know what lottery or millions meant. She only knew that Mommy was sad and that made her sad too. She hugged Mommy and said, "I love you, Mommy. You are the best." + +Mommy hugged Sara back and said, "I love you too, Sara. You are my treasure." She looked at the newspaper again and saw a small number in the corner. It was the date. She gasped and said, "Sara, do you know what day it is today?" + +Sara shook her head and said, "No, Mommy. What day is it?" + +Mommy smiled and said, "It's your birthday, Sara. And look, this newspaper is from today. Maybe it's a sign. Maybe we should buy a lottery ticket. Maybe we could win the lottery and have a better life." + +Sara clapped her hands and said, "Yes, Mommy, let's buy a lottery ticket. Maybe we will see the funny dog with the red hat again." + +Mommy and Sara walked to the store and bought a lottery ticket. They hoped and prayed that they would win. They did not know that the funny dog with the red hat was the mascot of the lottery company. They did not know that the newspaper was a special edition that had the winning numbers on it. They did not know that they had just picked up the luckiest newspaper in the world. +Sara was a playful girl who liked to talk a lot. She learned many new words from her mom and dad, and she liked to repeat them to everyone. She thought it was fun to say the same thing over and over again. + +One day, she went to the park with her mom. There, she saw a person who was different from her. He had a big beard, a hat, and a cane. He was sitting on a bench, reading a book. Sara was curious about him, so she ran to him and said, "Hello, hello, hello!" + +The person looked up and smiled. He said, "Hello, little girl. What is your name?" + +Sara said, "Sara, Sara, Sara!" + +The person said, "Nice to meet you, Sara. I am Mr. Brown, Mr. Brown, Mr. Brown." + +Sara giggled and said, "Mr. Brown, Mr. Brown, Mr. Brown!" + +They repeated their names a few times, and then Sara asked, "What are you reading, reading, reading?" + +The person said, "I am reading a story, a story, a story. It is about a lion, a lion, a lion." + +Sara said, "A lion, a lion, a lion! Can you tell me the story, story, story?" + +The person said, "Sure, sure, sure. But first, can you do me a favor, a favor, a favor?" + +Sara said, "Yes, yes, yes. What is it, it, it?" + +The person said, "Can you please say each word only once, once, once? It is hard to understand you when you repeat everything, everything, everything." + +Sara thought for a moment. She realized that repeating everything was not very polite or helpful. She said, "Okay, okay, okay. I mean, okay. I will say each word only once. I am sorry, Mr. Brown." + +The person said, "That's all right, Sara. Thank you for being respectful. Now, let me tell you the story of the lion. It is a very interesting story. It has a moral value. Do you know what that means?" + +Sara said, "No, what does it mean?" + +The person said, "It means that the story teaches you something good or important. For example, the story of the lion teaches you to be brave and kind. Do you want to hear it?" + +Sara said, "Yes, please. I want to hear the story of the lion. I want to learn the moral value." + +The person said, "All right, then. Listen carefully. Once upon a time, there was a lion who lived in the jungle. He was the king of all the animals, but he was not a good king. He was very selfish and cruel. He did not care about anyone but himself. He made the other animals work for him and give him food. He scared them with his loud roar and his sharp claws. He was very lonely and unhappy. One day, he met a mouse who changed his life. The mouse was very small and weak, but he was very brave and kind. He did something that no one else dared to do. He helped the lion when he was in trouble. He saved him from a hunter's trap. He made him laugh and smile. He became his friend. The lion learned from the mouse how to be a better king and a better person. He learned to be generous and gentle. He learned to care about others and share with them. He learned to be happy and grateful. He became a good king and a good friend. The end." + +Sara said, "Wow, that was a great story, Mr. Brown. I liked it a lot. I learned the moral value. I learned to be brave and kind like the mouse. I learned to be generous and gentle like the lion. I learned to care about others and share with them. I learned to be happy and grateful. Thank you for telling me the story, Mr. Brown." + +The person said, "You're very welcome, Sara. I'm glad you liked it and learned from it. You're a very smart and sweet girl. I hope you have a wonderful day, Sara." + +Sara said, "Thank you, Mr. Brown. I hope you have a wonderful day, too. Goodbye, Mr. Brown." + +The person said, "Goodbye, Sara." + +Sara ran back to her mom, who was waiting for her. She told her mom about the person and the story. Her mom hugged her and said, "I'm proud of you, Sara. You made a new friend and learned a new lesson. You're a playful girl, but you're also a respectful girl. I love you, Sara." + +Sara said, "I love you, too +Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play in the barn with their toys. They have cars, balls, and animals. They make noises and have fun. + +One day, Tim sees a new toy in the barn. It is a big red truck. He wants to play with it. He runs to the truck and takes it. He says, "This is mine!" + +Sam sees Tim take the truck. He is angry. He wants to play with the truck too. He says, "No, that is not yours! That is ours! Give it back!" + +Tim and Sam start to fight. They pull and push the truck. They yell and cry. They are not playful anymore. They are mean. + +Mom hears the noise. She comes to the barn. She sees Tim and Sam fighting. She is sad. She says, "Stop fighting! You are brothers! You should share and be kind!" + +She takes the truck from them. She says, "This is not your toy. This is Dad's toy. He uses it to move hay. You can't play with it. It is too big and heavy. You can play with your own toys. They are safe and fun." + +She gives them back their toys. She hugs them and says, "I love you. Now, say sorry and be playful again." + +Tim and Sam say sorry to each other. They hug and say, "I love you too." They play with their toys in the barn. They make noises and have fun. They are playful again. +Ben and Mia are twins. They like to play with cars and dolls. But they do not like to share. One day, they have a big fight over a red car. Ben wants the red car, but Mia has it. Mia says it is her car, but Ben says it is his car. They pull and push and yell. + +Mom hears the noise and comes to see. She is not happy. She says, "Stop fighting, Ben and Mia. You have to share. Fighting is not nice. You make me sad." She takes the red car and puts it on a high shelf. She says, "No one can have the red car until you say sorry and hug." + +Ben and Mia are angry. They do not want to say sorry or hug. They cross their arms and pout. They sit on the floor and do not look at each other. Mom says, "You have to relax. Relax means to calm down and breathe. When you relax, you feel better. You can let go of the gas in your tummy. Gas is the air that makes you feel tight and ouchy. When you let go of the gas, you feel ready. Ready means to do something good and fun. When you are ready, you can say sorry and hug and play again." + +Ben and Mia listen to Mom. They try to relax. They breathe in and out. They feel the gas leave their tummy. They feel ready. They look at each other and smile. They say sorry and hug. They say, "We love you, Mom. We love each other. Can we have the red car now?" + +Mom smiles and hugs them. She says, "I love you, too, Ben and Mia. You are good twins. You can have the red car now. But you have to share. Sharing is nice. Sharing makes you happy." She gives them the red car and some other cars and dolls. Ben and Mia play together and share. They are happy. Mom is happy. They have a good day. +Tim and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of fun making noises and pretending to be animals. Tim had a big red car and Lily had a soft pink bunny. + +"Look at my car, Lily!" Tim said. "It can go very fast and make loud sounds. Vroom, vroom!" + +"Wow, your car is cool, Tim!" Lily said. "But look at my bunny, Tim. It is very soft and cute. It can hop and wiggle its nose. Hop, hop!" + +They showed each other their toys and smiled. They liked to play together. + +But then, Tim saw something on the table. It was a plate of cookies. They looked very tasty. They had chocolate chips and sprinkles on them. Tim wanted a cookie. He left his car and walked to the table. + +"Tim, where are you going?" Lily asked. + +"I want a cookie, Lily. They look yummy!" Tim said. + +He reached for the plate and grabbed a cookie. He took a big bite and made a happy sound. The cookie was sweet and crunchy. + +"Tim, no!" Lily said. "Those are not our cookies. Those are Mommy's cookies. She made them for her friends. She said we can't have them. We have to wait for our snack." + +But Tim did not listen. He wanted another cookie. He grabbed another one and ate it. + +"Tim, stop!" Lily said. "You are being bad. Mommy will be mad at you. Give me a cookie, Tim. I want one too." + +But Tim did not share. He wanted all the cookies. He grabbed another one and ate it. + +"Tim, you are mean!" Lily said. "You are not my friend. You are a cookie monster!" + +She got angry and sad. She started to cry. She cried very loud. She cried for a minute. + +Mommy heard Lily cry. She came to the living room and saw what happened. She saw Tim with crumbs on his face and Lily with tears on her cheeks. + +"Tim, what did you do?" Mommy asked. "Did you eat all the cookies?" + +Tim nodded. He felt guilty. He knew he did something wrong. + +"Tim, that was not nice. You did not listen to me. You did not share with Lily. You made her cry. You hurt her feelings. You have to say sorry to her and give her a hug." + +Tim looked at Lily. She was still crying. He felt sorry for her. He did not want to make her cry. He wanted to be her friend. + +He walked to Lily and said, "Sorry, Lily. I was bad. I was greedy. I should have shared with you. You can have my car. I love you, Lily." + +He gave her a hug and a kiss. Lily stopped crying. She smiled and said, "Thank you, Tim. I forgive you. I love you too, Tim. You can have my bunny." + +They hugged and kissed again. They gave each other their toys. They played together again. + +Mommy smiled and said, "That's better. I'm proud of you, Tim and Lily. You learned to say sorry and to share. You are good friends. Now, come here. I have a surprise for you." + +She brought them to the kitchen and showed them a big cake. It had candles and frosting on it. It looked very tasty. + +"Happy birthday, Tim and Lily!" Mommy said. "You are both three years old today. You can have a piece of cake. It is your special treat." + +Tim and Lily clapped and cheered. They forgot about the cookies. They were happy. They had a tasty cake. They had a loving mommy. They had each other. They had a happy birthday. +Anna and Ben are adventurous twins. They like to explore new places and try new things. One day, they decide to go to the kitchen when Mom is not there. They want to see what is inside the drawers and cabinets. + +They open the drawers and find spoons, forks, knives, and other shiny things. They take some out and pretend to cook and eat. They open the cabinets and find plates, bowls, cups, and other colorful things. They take some out and stack them up like a tower. They have a lot of fun in the kitchen. + +But then, they hear Mom coming back. They get scared and try to put everything back. But they are too slow and clumsy. They drop some things and make a loud noise. They also make a big mess on the floor and the table. + +Mom enters the kitchen and sees the chaos. She is angry and surprised. She asks, "What are you doing here? Who made this mess?" + +Anna and Ben look at each other and say, "Sorry, Mom. We were just playing. We wanted to see what is in the kitchen." + +Mom sighs and says, "I know you are adventurous, but you can't play in the kitchen without me. It is dangerous and dirty. You could hurt yourself or break something. You have to ask me first if you want to see something. And you have to clean up after yourself." + +She gives them a cloth and tells them to wipe the floor and the table. She helps them put everything back in the drawers and cabinets. She tells them to be more careful and respectful next time. She also gives them a hug and says, "I love you, but you have to follow the rules." + +Anna and Ben say, "We love you too, Mom. We are sorry. We will follow the rules. We will wipe the kitchen." They smile and hug her back. They learn their lesson and promise to be more responsible. They still like to be adventurous, but they also like to be safe and clean. +Ben was an adventurous boy. He liked to explore new places and find new things. One day, he went to the park with his mom and saw a big pile of waste. It was full of old cans, bottles, papers and other things that people did not want. + +Ben was curious. He wanted to see what was inside the waste. He asked his mom if he could go near it. His mom said no. She said the waste was dirty and dangerous. She said it could hurt him or make him sick. She said he should play on the swings or the slide instead. + +But Ben did not listen. He waited until his mom was talking to another mom. Then he ran to the waste. He climbed on top of it and started to dig. He hoped to find something shiny or fun. He did not see the sharp metal or the broken glass. He did not smell the bad odor or the flies. + +Suddenly, he felt a pain in his hand. He looked and saw blood. He had cut himself on something sharp. He cried out loud. His mom heard him and ran to him. She saw his hand and the waste. She was angry and scared. She took him off the waste and wrapped his hand with a cloth. She said he was very naughty and foolish. She said he had to go to the doctor. + +Ben was sorry and sad. He wished he had listened to his mom. He wished he had played on the swings or the slide instead. He did not smile. He learned a lesson. He learned that waste was not a good place to explore. He learned that being adventurous was not always good. He learned that he should obey his mom. +Tom and Mia were best friends. They liked to play in the park every day. They had a lot of fun on the swings, the slide and the seesaw. But their favorite thing was the merry-go-round. It was so fast and made them feel very excite. + +One day, they went to the park as usual. But when they got there, they saw something new. It was a big, red train with a lot of seats and a loud whistle. It was parked next to the merry-go-round. A man with a hat and a ticket was standing by the door. + +"Wow, look at that!" Tom said. "Can we ride it?" + +"Let's ask the man," Mia said. + +They ran to the man and asked him if they could ride the train. The man smiled and said, "Sure, kids. This is a special train. It can take you to any place you want. Just tell me where you want to go and I'll give you a ticket." + +Tom and Mia looked at each other. They had never been to any other place than the park. They wondered what other places were like. They thought of all the stories they had heard and the pictures they had seen. + +"I want to go to the zoo," Tom said. "I want to see the lions and the monkeys and the elephants." + +"I want to go to the beach," Mia said. "I want to see the ocean and the sand and the shells." + +The man nodded and gave them each a ticket. He told them to get on the train and find a seat. He said the train would leave in a few minutes. + +Tom and Mia got on the train and sat next to a window. They were very happy and curious. They waved goodbye to the man and the park. They wondered what they would see on their trip. They did not know that the train was not an ordinary train. It was a magic train. And it was going to take them to a very special place. A place where their dreams would come true. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a ball and a bike. They share their toys. + +One day, a big dog comes to the park. It is black and loud. It runs after Anna and Ben. It wants their ball and bike. + +Anna and Ben are frightened. They run away from the dog. They shout for help. + +"Go away, dog! You are bad! You cannot have our toys! They are ours! We own them!" Anna says. + +"Help, help! Someone, please help us! The dog is scary! It is too big and fast!" Ben says. + +A man hears Anna and Ben. He is the owner of the dog. He calls the dog. He is sorry. He says the dog is friendly. He says the dog only wants to play. + +"Come here, Rex! Stop chasing the children! You are not mean, are you? You are just playful!" the man says. + +The dog listens to the man. It stops running. It wags its tail. It licks the man's face. + +The man walks to Anna and Ben. He smiles. He says sorry again. He says they can pet the dog if they want. He says the dog likes children. + +Anna and Ben are still frightened. They do not want to pet the dog. They want to keep their toys. They say thank you to the man. They say goodbye to the dog. They take their ball and bike. They go home. They are happy. They are safe. +Anna and Ben are playing in their room. They have a big rug with many colors and shapes. They like to pretend it is a map of a faraway land. + +"Let's measure the rug," Ben says. He has a long string and a ruler. "We can see how big it is." + +"Okay," Anna says. She helps Ben hold the string along the edge of the rug. They use the ruler to count how many inches the string is. + +"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten," Ben says. "The rug is ten inches long." + +"Wow, that's big," Anna says. "How wide is it?" + +They move the string to the other edge of the rug and count again. + +"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven," Ben says. "The rug is seven inches wide." + +"That's big too," Anna says. "Can we play on it now?" + +"Yes, let's play," Ben says. They put the string and the ruler away and sit on the rug. They imagine they are exploring a jungle, a desert, a mountain, and a sea. + +They have fun until their mom calls them for lunch. + +"Time to eat, kids," mom says. "I made you some yummy sandwiches and fruit." + +"Yay, lunch!" Anna and Ben say. They run to the kitchen and wash their hands. They thank mom for the food and enjoy their meal. + +They tell mom about their rug adventure and how they measured it. + +"That sounds like a lot of fun," mom says. "You are very clever and creative." + +Anna and Ben smile and hug mom. They love playing and learning together. +One day, a young cat saw an old dog sleeping on a mat. The young cat was curious and wanted to play with the old dog. He tiptoed closer and closer to the old dog, until he was right next to him. + +The young cat reached out his paw and rubbed the old dog's nose. The old dog opened his eyes and saw the young cat. He was not happy. He growled and barked at the young cat, who jumped back in fright. + +"Go away, you silly cat!" the old dog said. "This is my mat, and you are not welcome here. I am old and tired, and I need to rest. You are young and noisy, and you bother me." + +The young cat felt sad and scared. He did not mean to make the old dog angry. He just wanted to be friends. He ran away from the old dog, looking for a place to hide. + +He found a young girl sitting on a bench, reading a book. The young girl saw the young cat and smiled. She put down her book and picked up the young cat. She rubbed his fur and scratched his ears. The young cat purred and snuggled in her arms. + +"Hello, you cute cat!" the young girl said. "What is your name? Where do you live? Do you want to play with me?" + +The young cat felt happy and safe. He liked the young girl. He licked her cheek and nuzzled her neck. He did not need the old dog. He had found a new friend. +Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big pile of waste near the swings. The waste is dirty and smelly. It has cans, bottles, papers and banana peels. + +"Who put this waste here?" Tom asks. "It is bad for the park and the animals." + +"I don't know," Anna says. "Maybe some people who don't care." + +Tom and Anna are sad. They love the park and the animals. They want to help. They look for a big bag. They find one near the trash can. They start to pick up the waste and put it in the bag. + +"Thank you, Tom and Anna," a voice says. They turn around and see a man. He is wearing a green shirt and a hat. He has a badge that says "Park Ranger". + +"Who are you?" Tom asks. + +"I am the park ranger," the man says. "I take care of the park and the animals. I am very happy to see you helping. Some people are very lazy and leave their waste here. They should be ashamed." + +"We don't like waste," Anna says. "It is ugly and stinky. It hurts the park and the animals." + +"You are very smart and kind," the park ranger says. "You are good friends of the park and the animals. Here, take these stickers. They say 'I love the park'. You can put them on your shirts or your bikes." + +Tom and Anna smile. They take the stickers and say "Thank you, park ranger". They finish putting the waste in the bag. They give the bag to the park ranger. He says he will take it to the recycling center. + +Tom and Anna are happy. They have helped the park and the animals. They are not ashamed. They are proud. They put the stickers on their shirts and go to the swings. They play and laugh. They love the park. +Lily and Ben liked to play with fire. They found a box of matches in the kitchen and took it to the backyard. They looked for things to burn, like leaves and sticks and paper. They laughed when they saw the fire grow and make smoke. + +One day, they found a big log in the corner of the yard. They thought it would make a good fire. They put some matches under the log and lit them. The log did not catch fire right away. They waited and waited, but nothing happened. They got bored and went to play with something else. + +They did not see the log split in half. They did not hear the crack and the pop. They did not smell the ash and the gas. They did not feel the heat and the blast. The log exploded and sent fire and wood everywhere. The fire caught the grass and the fence and the shed. The wood hit the house and the car and the kids. + +Lily and Ben screamed and ran, but it was too late. The fire was too big and too fast. It burned them and hurt them and made them stop. They fell down and did not get up. They were cold and still and gone. The fire was bad and mean and strong. It took everything and left nothing. +Tom and Lily are playing outside. They have a big red kite. They want to make the kite fly high in the sky. But there is no wind today. The kite just falls to the ground. + +"Let's go to the hill," Tom says. "Maybe there is more wind there." + +"OK," Lily says. "But we have to be careful. The hill is steep and hard to climb." + +They take the kite and walk to the hill. They see some other kids playing with balls and bikes. They say hello and keep going. + +They reach the top of the hill. They feel a little wind on their faces. They smile and hold the kite. + +"Ready?" Tom asks. + +"Ready!" Lily says. + +They run and let go of the kite. The kite flies up in the air. It looks like a big red bird. They laugh and clap their hands. + +But then the wind gets stronger. It pulls the kite hard. The kite goes higher and higher. Tom and Lily can't see it anymore. + +"Oh no!" Tom says. "We lost our kite!" + +"Maybe it will come back," Lily says. "Maybe the wind will stop." + +They wait and look at the sky. But the wind does not stop. The kite does not come back. + +They feel sad and angry. They decide to go home. + +"Maybe we can make another kite," Tom says. + +"Maybe," Lily says. "But I liked our red kite." + +They hug each other and walk down the hill. They hope to find their kite someday. +Lily and Ben were bees who liked to fly and find flowers. They worked hard to make honey for their hive. One day, they saw a big jar of honey on a table in a garden. They wanted to taste it, but they were not sure if it was safe. + +"Let's discuss with the other bees first," Lily said. "Maybe they know if the jar is a trap or not." + +"No, let's go now," Ben said. "The jar is clear, we can see the honey. It looks yummy. We can fly in and out quickly. No one will notice." + +Lily was scared, but Ben was brave. He flew towards the jar and landed on the edge. He dipped his tongue into the honey and smiled. "It's so sweet! Come on, Lily, join me!" + +Lily followed Ben, but she was still worried. She looked around and saw a man with a net coming towards them. He had a mean face and a big hat. He wanted to catch the bees and take them away. + +"Ben, look out!" Lily shouted. "It's a trap! We have to fly away!" + +But it was too late. The man swung his net and caught both Lily and Ben. He put them in a box and closed the lid. They could not see or hear anything. They could not fly or find flowers. They could only feel sad and scared. + +They wished they had discussed with the other bees first. They wished they had stayed with their hive. They wished they had not been greedy for the honey. But they could not change what they had done. They had made a big mistake. And they had to pay for it. +Tim and Mia are playing with paper and glue. They like to make animals and flowers and cars. Tim makes a big lion with yellow paper and brown spots. Mia makes a pink butterfly with shiny wings. + +"Look at my lion, Mia!" Tim says. "He is very strong and loud. He can roar like this: RRRRR!" + +"Wow, Tim, your lion is very nice!" Mia says. "But my butterfly is very pretty and quiet. She can fly like this: FFFF!" + +They show each other their paper animals and make noises. They have fun. + +But then, Tim spills his cup of water on the table. The water soaks the paper and glue. The lion and the butterfly get wet and sticky. They start to fall apart. + +"Oh no, Tim, what did you do?" Mia cries. "You ruined our animals!" + +"I'm sorry, Mia, I didn't mean to!" Tim says. "Can we fix them?" + +They try to put the paper and glue back together, but it is too late. The lion and the butterfly are gone. They are sad. + +"Maybe we can make new animals, Tim," Mia says. "But we need more paper and glue. And we need to be careful with the water." + +"OK, Mia, let's do that," Tim says. "But first, let's clean up this mess." + +They get a cloth and wipe the table. They throw away the wet paper and glue. They say goodbye to the lion and the butterfly. + +Then, they get new paper and glue. They make new animals. They are careful with the water. They have fun again. +Sara and Ben are playing in the park. They see a tall man with a funny hat. The hat is red and has a big feather on it. Sara and Ben want to see the hat better. + +"Can we touch your hat, please?" Sara asks the tall man. + +"Sure, you can. But be gentle, it is a special hat," the tall man says. He bends down and lets Sara and Ben touch his hat. + +Sara feels the feather. It is soft and tickles her hand. She giggles. Ben feels the hat. It is hard and round. He squeezes it a little. + +"Ouch!" the tall man says. "Don't squeeze my hat, it hurts!" + +"Sorry, sorry!" Ben says. He lets go of the hat. He did not mean to hurt the tall man. + +The tall man smiles. He is not angry. He likes children. He tells Sara and Ben a story about his hat. He says he got it from a pirate who sailed the seas. He says the feather is from a parrot who was his friend. + +Sara and Ben listen to the story. They like the story. They think the tall man is nice and funny. They say thank you and goodbye to the tall man. They go back to playing in the park. They pretend to be pirates and parrots. They have fun. +Ben and Lily were playing in the garden. They saw a big, red ball near the fence. They wanted to play with it. + +"Let's examine the ball," Ben said. "Maybe it is someone's toy." + +They ran to the ball and touched it. It was soft and bouncy. They kicked it and threw it in the air. + +"Wow, this is fun!" Lily said. "Can we keep it?" + +"No, we have to give it back," Ben said. "It is not ours." + +But they did not give it back. They played with it for a long time. They forgot about their mom and dad. + +Then they heard a loud noise. It was a dog. A big, black dog. It came from the other side of the fence. It saw the ball. It wanted the ball. + +The dog jumped over the fence. It ran to the ball. It barked and growled. It bit the ball. + +"Help!" Ben and Lily screamed. They were scared. They ran to the house. + +The dog chased them. It was faster than them. It caught them. It bit them. + +Ben and Lily cried. They were hurt. They were sorry. + +Their mom and dad came out. They saw the dog. They saw the ball. They saw Ben and Lily. + +They were angry. They were sad. + +"Who gave you that ball?" their mom asked. + +"We found it," Ben said. He looked guilty. + +"You found it? Or you took it?" their dad asked. + +"We took it," Lily said. She looked guilty too. + +They told the truth. They told how they played with the ball. How they did not give it back. How the dog came and attacked them. + +Their mom and dad shook their heads. They were disappointed. + +"That was a bad thing to do," their mom said. "You should not take things that are not yours. You should ask before you play with them. You should be careful of strangers and animals. You could have been hurt worse." + +They took Ben and Lily to the doctor. The doctor gave them medicine and bandages. He said they would be okay. + +But they were not okay. They had to stay in bed for a long time. They had to miss school and their friends. They had to say sorry to the owner of the ball and the dog. They had to learn a hard lesson. + +They wished they had never seen the ball. They wished they had never played with it. They wished they had listened to their mom and dad. +Lily and Max are twins. They like to play outside in the park. They have a red ball and a blue bike. They share their toys and have fun. + +One day, they see a big sign in the park. It says: "Follow the trail and find a surprise!" Lily and Max are curious. They want to see the surprise. They ask their mom if they can go. + +"Sure, you can go," mom says. "But be careful and stay together. I will wait for you here." + +Lily and Max are happy. They say thank you to mom and rush to the trail. They take turns riding the bike and kicking the ball. They see many things on the trail: flowers, birds, bugs, and rocks. They point and laugh at everything. + +Soon, they reach the end of the trail. They see a big tent with balloons and a sign that says: "Welcome to the circus!" Lily and Max are excited. They love the circus. They hear music and clapping inside the tent. + +"Let's go in!" Lily says. + +"OK!" Max says. + +They hold hands and enter the tent. They see cheerful people in funny costumes and animals doing tricks. They see a clown who makes them laugh and gives them candy. They see a lion who roars and a monkey who swings. They see a man who juggles and a lady who walks on a rope. They clap and cheer for everyone. + +Lily and Max have a wonderful time at the circus. They think it is the best surprise ever. They hug each other and smile. They are happy twins. +Lily and Ben were twins. They liked to play together, but sometimes they also liked to tease each other. One day, their mom made a big cake for their birthday. It had chocolate and cream and sprinkles on top. It looked very yummy. + +Mom said, "The cake is not ready yet. You have to wait until after dinner. Then we can sing and cut the cake and share it with everyone." + +Lily and Ben nodded. They went to play with their toys in the living room. But after a while, Ben got bored. He had an idea. He sneaked into the kitchen and took a small piece of cake.

They wished they had bathed. + +Mama felt sorry for Sara and Ben. She hugged them and kissed them. She said they were adorable. She said they could go to the festival next time. She said they had to be good and do what she said. Sara and Ben nodded. They said they loved Mama. They said they would bathe next time. They hoped there would be a next time. They hoped there would be a festival. +Tim and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to look at the birds and feed them bread. Tim saw a white bird with a long neck and a pink beak. He pointed and said, "Look, Lily, a dove!" + +Lily looked and said, "Wow, it's so pretty! Can we get it?" + +Tim nodded and ran after the dove. He wanted to catch it and hold it. He thought it was a special bird. He did not see the sign that said, "Do not touch the doves. They are not ordinary birds. They are part of a magic show." + +The dove flew away from Tim. It was not afraid of him. It knew a trick. It flew to a big hat that was on a bench. The hat belonged to a man who was a magician. He was getting ready for his show. + +Tim followed the dove and reached for the hat. He wanted to get the dove out of the hat. He did not know that the hat was a magic hat. He did not know that the dove was a magic dove. + +The magician saw Tim and said, "Stop! Don't touch my hat! You will ruin my show!" + +But it was too late. Tim lifted the hat and saw the dove. He smiled and grabbed it. But the dove was not alone. It had a friend. Another dove came out of the hat. And another. And another. Soon, there were dozens of doves flying out of the hat. They filled the air with white feathers and coos. + +Tim was surprised and scared. He let go of the dove he had caught. He did not want to get any more doves. He ran back to Lily. Lily was also surprised and scared. She did not like the doves. They were too many and too noisy. + +The magician was angry and sad. He had lost his doves and his show. He shouted at Tim and Lily. He said, "You are bad children! You have spoiled my magic! Go away and never come back!" + +Tim and Lily said, "Sorry, sorry, sorry!" They ran away from the park. They did not want to see the doves or the magician ever again. They learned a lesson. They learned that some things are not ordinary. They learned that some things are magic. And they learned that some things are better left alone. +Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play outside in the sun. They have a big lawn with many flowers and toys. Sara has a ball and Tom has a bike. + +One day, Sara wants to play with Tom's bike. She asks him, "Can I ride your bike, please?" + +Tom says, "No, it is my bike. You have your ball. Go play with your ball." + +Sara is sad and angry. She says, "You are not nice. You are mean. I don't want to be your friend." + +Tom says, "I don't care. Go away. Leave me alone." + +Sara runs away with her ball. She cries and cries. She does not see the road. She does not see the car. The car is fast and loud. The car hits Sara and her ball. Sara falls down and does not get up. Her ball rolls away. + +Tom hears the noise. He sees Sara and the car. He is scared and sorry. He drops his bike and runs to Sara. He calls her name, but she does not answer. He tries to wake her up, but she does not move. He hugs her and cries. + +The sun goes down. The lawn is dark. Sara and Tom are alone. +Sara and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big slide and a small slide. Sara wanted to go on the big slide, but Ben was scared. He wanted to go on the small slide. + +"Sara, come with me to the small slide. It is fun and safe," Ben said in a soft voice. + +"No, Ben, I want to go on the big slide. It is more fun and fast," Sara said in a loud voice. + +They did not agree. They did not know what to do. They looked at each other. + +Then they heard a roar. It was a fierce lion. It had escaped from the zoo. It was coming to the park. It was hungry and angry. + +Sara and Ben were very scared. They did not want to be eaten by the lion. They had to run away. + +They did not have time to choose. They had to go on the same slide. They ran to the big slide. They slid down as fast as they could. They reached the bottom and ran to their mom and dad. + +They hugged them and told them what happened. They were glad they were safe. They learned to share and help each other. They did not fight anymore. They were happy. +Anna and Ben are young. They like to see new things. One day, they go to the museum with Mom and Dad. The museum has many rooms with different things. Anna and Ben see big animals, old cars, shiny rocks, and colorful paintings. + +"Wow, look at this!" Ben says. He points to a big dinosaur bone. "It is so big and strong. I want to be a dinosaur." + +Anna laughs. "You can't be a dinosaur, silly. Dinosaurs are gone. They lived a long time ago." + +"How do you know?" Ben asks. + +"Mom told me. She knows a lot of things. She reads books and watches shows about dinosaurs." + +Anna and Ben walk to the next room. They see a big clock. The clock has many gears and numbers. It makes a loud sound every hour. + +"What is this?" Anna asks. + +"It is a clock. It tells the time. It is very old and smart. I want to be a clock." + +Ben laughs. "You can't be a clock, silly. Clocks are not alive. They don't move or talk or play." + +"How do you know?" Anna asks. + +"Dad told me. He knows a lot of things. He fixes things and makes things work." + +Anna and Ben have fun at the museum. They see many things they like. They ask Mom and Dad many questions. They learn new things. They are happy. + +But soon, it is time to go. Mom and Dad say they have to leave. + +"Can we stay?" Anna and Ben ask. + +"No, we can't stay. The museum is closing. We have to go home. Maybe we can come back another day." Mom and Dad say. + +Anna and Ben are sad. They want to stay. They want to see more things. They want to be dinosaurs and clocks. + +"Please, can we stay?" Anna and Ben ask again. + +Mom and Dad smile. They hug Anna and Ben. + +"No, you can't stay. But you can do something else. You can use your imagination. You can pretend to be anything you want. You can be dinosaurs and clocks and anything else. You can have fun at home too." Mom and Dad say. + +Anna and Ben think. They nod. They smile. + +"Okay, we can't stay. But we can use our imagination. We can be dinosaurs and clocks and anything else. We can have fun at home too." Anna and Ben say. + +They say goodbye to the museum. They go home with Mom and Dad. They use their imagination. They have fun. They are young. +Lily and Tom are twins. They like to play together, but sometimes they fight. One day, they fight over a big bowl of cream. Mom made the cream for a cake, but Lily and Tom want to eat it. + +"Give me the cream!" Lily says. She pulls the bowl to her side. + +"No, it's mine!" Tom says. He pulls the bowl to his side. + +They pull and pull, but the bowl does not move. They make a lot of noise. Mom hears them and comes to the kitchen. + +"What are you doing?" Mom asks. She is angry. "This cream is for the cake, not for you!" + +But Lily and Tom do not hear Mom. They are deaf. They only hear each other. They keep pulling the bowl. + +Mom shakes her head. She takes the bowl from them. She puts it on the counter. She signs to them with her hands. + +"Stop fighting!" she signs. "You are naughty. No cream for you. Go to your room." + +Lily and Tom are sad. They did not get any cream. They did not see Mom's signs. They walk to their room. They say sorry to each other. They hug and make up. They decide to be good and not fight over cream again. +Lily and Max were playing with their toys in the living room. Lily had a purple dress that she liked very much. Max had a pair of scissors that he found in the kitchen. He wanted to cut something with them. + +"Look, Lily, I have scissors. They can cut things. Can I cut your dress?" Max asked. + +"No, Max, you can't cut my dress. It is my favorite dress. It is purple and rare. I got it from Grandma. She made it for me. It is very pretty. You can't cut it." Lily said. + +"But I want to cut it. It looks fun. It has flowers and ribbons. I want to see what happens if I cut them." Max said. + +He moved closer to Lily and tried to grab her dress. Lily screamed and ran away. She hid behind the couch. She was scared and angry. + +"Max, stop it! You are bad. You can't cut my dress. Go away. Find something else to cut. Cut paper or cardboard. Not my dress." Lily said. + +Max followed her and tried to reach her dress. He did not listen to Lily. He thought it was a game. He laughed and said. + +"Come on, Lily, don't be silly. It is just a dress. It is not rare. There are many dresses like it. Let me cut it. It will be fun. You will see." Max said. + +He finally caught Lily and cut a big hole in her dress. Lily cried and screamed. She was very sad. She loved her dress. Now it was ruined. She pushed Max away and ran to Mom. + +"Mom, Mom, look what Max did. He cut my dress. He cut my purple and rare dress. He is very bad. He is very mean. He is not my friend. He is not my brother. He is a monster." Lily said. + +Mom heard Lily and came to the living room. She saw the scissors, the cut dress and the angry and sad faces of Lily and Max. She was shocked and angry too. She took the scissors from Max and scolded him. + +"Max, what did you do? Why did you cut Lily's dress? That was very wrong. That was very naughty. You hurt Lily's feelings. You ruined her dress. You made a big mess. You can't play with scissors. They are dangerous. They are not toys. You could have hurt yourself or Lily. You have to say sorry to Lily. You have to make up for what you did. You have to learn to share and respect." Mom said. + +Max realized he made a big mistake. He felt sorry and ashamed. He looked at Lily and said. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. I'm sorry I cut your dress. I didn't mean to hurt you. I didn't know it was your favorite dress. I didn't know it was purple and rare. I was just curious. I wanted to try something new. I was silly. I was bad. I'm sorry. Please forgive me. Please be my friend. Please be my sister. Please don't be mad at me." Max said. + +Lily looked at Max and saw he was sincere. She felt sorry for him too. She knew he was not a monster. He was just a little boy. He made a mistake. He learned his lesson. She decided to forgive him. She said. + +"It's okay, Max. I forgive you. I'm sorry I called you a monster. You are not a monster. You are my friend. You are my brother. I love you. But please don't cut my dress again. Or anything else that is not yours. Or anything that is not for cutting. Okay?" Lily said. + +"Okay, Lily. I promise. I won't cut anything that is not for cutting. I will be good. I will be careful. I will be nice. I love you too." Max said. + +They hugged and made up. Mom smiled and hugged them too. She was glad they were friends again. She was proud of them. She said. + +"I'm happy you are sorry and you forgive each other. That is very mature. That is very kind. That is how siblings should be. I love you both very much. But we still have to deal with the cut dress. How can we fix it? How can we make it pretty again?" Mom said. + +They thought for a while. Then they had an idea. They said. + +"Maybe we can sew it. Maybe we can patch it. Maybe we can decorate it. Maybe we can make it purple and rare again." They said. + +Mom agreed. She said. + +"That sounds like a good idea. Let's do that. Let's go to the sewing room. Let's find some fabric and thread and buttons and beads. Let's be creative. Let's have fun +Sara and Tom like to play pretend. They have many toys and costumes. Today, they want to be a princess and a knight. Sara puts on a pink dress and a crown. Tom wears a helmet and a sword. + +They go to the garden and find a big tree. Sara says, "This is our castle. We are the king and the queen. We have to be careful of the dragon." Tom says, "Yes, and we have to protect our people. They are the flowers and the bugs. We are good rulers." + +They enjoy playing pretend for a long time. They make up stories and adventures. They laugh and have fun. But then, they hear a voice. It is their big brother, Ben. He is older and taller. He likes to tease them. + +He says, "What are you doing? You look silly. You are not a princess and a knight. You are just kids. And this is not a castle. It is a tree. And there is no dragon. You are playing a dumb game." + +Sara and Tom feel sad and angry. They do not like Ben's words. They say, "Go away, Ben. You are not nice. You are a judge. You do not understand. We are having fun. We are using our imagination. You are boring." + +Ben shrugs and walks away. He does not care. He thinks he is smarter and cooler. He does not like to play pretend. He likes to play video games and watch TV. + +Sara and Tom hug each other. They say, "We do not need Ben. We have each other. We are friends. We like to play pretend. It is fun and creative. We are happy." + +They go back to their game. They forget about Ben. They enjoy playing pretend until their mom calls them for lunch. They run to the house. They are hungry and excited. They wonder what they will play next. +Lila and Sam were friends who liked to play pretend. One day, they decided to be explorers in the jungle. They put on their hats and backpacks and grabbed their binoculars. They went outside and looked for animals. + +"Look, Sam, I see a big bird!" Lila said, pointing to the sky. + +"Wow, it's so colorful!" Sam said, looking through his binoculars. "Maybe it's a parrot." + +They walked some more and saw a river. They crossed it on a bridge made of sticks and stones. + +"Look, Lila, I see a big fish!" Sam said, pointing to the water. + +"Wow, it's so shiny!" Lila said, looking through her binoculars. "Maybe it's a dolphin." + +They walked some more and saw a cave. They decided to go inside and see what was there. + +"Look, Sam, I see a big shadow!" Lila said, pointing to the dark. + +"Wow, it's so scary!" Sam said, looking through his binoculars. "Maybe it's a bear." + +They walked closer and closer to the shadow. They heard a loud noise. + +"ROAR!" + +They screamed and ran out of the cave. They looked back and saw a big elephant. It was angry and chased them. + +"Run, Lila, run!" Sam said, holding her hand. + +"Run, Sam, run!" Lila said, holding his hand. + +They ran and ran until they reached their house. They slammed the door and locked it. They were safe. + +"Phew, that was close!" Sam said, panting. + +"Yeah, that was too close!" Lila said, panting. + +They looked at their backpacks. They were empty. + +"Hey, where are our binoculars?" Sam said, frowning. + +"Oh no, we left them in the cave!" Lila said, frowning. + +They looked at each other and sighed. + +"Maybe we can get them back tomorrow," Sam said, hoping. + +"Maybe, if the elephant is gone," Lila said, hoping. + +They hugged and smiled. + +"We are still the best explorers ever," Sam said, proud. + +"Yes, we are," Lila said, proud. + +They went inside and had some cookies and milk. They told their mom about their adventure. She listened and smiled. She was glad they were safe and happy. She gave them a kiss and tucked them in bed. They dreamed of the jungle and the elephant.

He is happy with his card. + +He hears his mom coming home. He runs to the door with his card. He says "Surprise!" and gives her the card. His mom smiles and hugs him. She says "Thank you, Tom. This is an incredible card. I love you too." Tom feels warm and proud. He starts to make another card for his dad. +Ben and Sam are friends. They like to play with toys. Today, they have a jet.

Vroom, vroom, vroom. They pretend the jet is in the sky. They pretend the jet can do tricks. They have fun. + +But then, the jet falls. It falls on the floor. It breaks. The wing breaks. The tail breaks. The jet is not regular anymore. It is broken. + +Ben and Sam are sad. They look at the jet. They do not know what to do. They want to fix the jet. But they do not have glue. They do not have tape. They do not have tools. + +They see Mom. Mom is in the kitchen. She is making a cake. She is busy. But she sees Ben and Sam. She sees the jet. She sees their faces. + +She says, "What happened, boys? Did your jet break?" + +Ben and Sam nod. They say, "Yes, Mom. Our jet broke. We do not know how to fix it. Can you help us, Mom?" + +Mom smiles. She says, "Of course, I can help you. I have some glue. I have some tape. I have some tools. Come with me.

They have fun. +Lily and Ben were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big slide. They wanted to go on it. + +Lily went first. She climbed up the steps. She sat on the slide. She slid down fast. She was happy. + +Ben went next. He climbed up the steps. He did not sit on the slide. He stood on it. He wanted to go faster. He was silly. + +The slide was cheap.

They wanted to see what was inside. + +"Let's go, Lily!" Ben urged. "Maybe there are toys and candy in the house." + +"But Ben, we don't know who lives there. Maybe they are not jolly. Maybe they are angry and mean." Lily said. She was scared of strangers. + +Ben did not listen. He ran to the door and knocked. Lily followed him slowly. She hoped no one would answer. + +But someone did answer. The door opened and a jolly man with a white beard and a red suit came out. He smiled and said, "Hello, children. What are you doing here?" + +Ben and Lily were surprised. They thought he looked like Santa Claus. They wondered if he had a sleigh and reindeer. + +"We are sorry, sir. We just wanted to see your house. It is very big and pretty." Ben said. + +The man laughed. "No need to be sorry, my dears. I am glad you like my house. It is a special house.

They make a beautiful picture. + +They show Mom their picture. + +"Wow, Jen and Tom, your picture is wonderful. You are very good at drawing. And you are very good at sharing. I'm proud of you," Mom says. + +She hangs their picture on the fridge. + +Jen and Tom smile. They are proud, too. + +They learned to share. They learned to be fair. They learned to be friends. +Lily and Max were best friends. They liked to play together every day. They liked to share their toys and snacks. One day, they had yogurt for lunch. Lily had strawberry yogurt and Max had blueberry yogurt. + +"Can I try your yogurt?" Lily asked Max. "I like strawberries." + +"Sure, you can try it," Max said. "Can I try your yogurt? I like blueberries." + +They swapped their yogurt cups and took a spoonful. Lily made a face. She did not like blueberries. They were too sour. She wanted her strawberry yogurt back. + +"Yuck, I don't like this," Lily said. "Give me back my yogurt." + +"No, I like this," Max said. "You gave it to me. It's mine now." + +They started to argue. They pulled and pushed each other. They shouted and cried. They were very angry. + +"Roar!" They heard a loud noise. They looked up and saw a big dog. The dog was barking and running towards them. He wanted their yogurt. + +Lily and Max were scared. They forgot about their fight. They hugged each other and ran away. They hid behind a tree. The dog chased them, but he could not find them. + +They waited until the dog was gone. They were still holding each other. They were sorry for being mean. + +"I'm sorry, Lily," Max said. "You can have your yogurt back. I don't want it." + +"I'm sorry, Max," Lily said. "You can have your yogurt back. I don't want it." + +They smiled and hugged. They gave each other their yogurt cups. They were happy again. + +They learned to be loyal to each other. They learned to be kind and share. They learned to roar at dogs. They were best friends. +Tom and Lily were excited to play with their new toy cars. They had red and blue cars that could zoom very fast on the floor. They made noises like vroom and beep as they raced their cars around the room. + +"Look, Lily, my car can zoom under the chair!" Tom said, as he pushed his red car under the big chair in the corner. + +"Wow, that's cool, Tom! But my car can zoom over the chair!" Lily said, as she lifted her blue car and threw it over the chair. The car landed on the other side with a thud. + +"Hey, that's not fair, Lily! You can't throw your car, you have to zoom it!" Tom said, feeling angry. + +"But it's fun, Tom! And it's faster!" Lily said, smiling. + +Tom and Lily started to argue about who had the better car and how to zoom it. They did not notice that their mom came into the room. She saw their cars on the floor and their faces red. + +"Tom, Lily, what are you doing?" she asked, in a stern voice. + +"We are playing with our cars, mom!" Tom and Lily said, at the same time. + +"Playing or fighting?" mom asked, raising her eyebrows. + +Tom and Lily looked at each other and felt sorry. They knew they had been mean to each other. + +"Sorry, mom. Sorry, Tom. Sorry, Lily." they said, in a low voice. + +Mom smiled and hugged them. She said, "It's okay, my loves. I'm glad you like your cars, but you have to share and be nice to each other. How about we zoom your cars together and see who can make the best noise?" + +Tom and Lily nodded and smiled. They picked up their cars and followed mom to the living room. They zoomed their cars on the carpet, the sofa, and the table. They made noises like vroom, beep, and honk. They had fun and laughed a lot. They were excited to play with their cars and with each other. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big black bird on a tree. It had shiny feathers and a sharp beak. Tom said, "Look, Lily, a raven!" + +Lily said, "Wow, it is so beautiful! Can we go closer?" + +Tom nodded and they walked slowly to the tree. The raven saw them and made a loud sound. It sounded like "caw, caw, caw!" + +Tom and Lily stopped and looked at the raven. They were a little scared, but also curious. The raven tilted its head and looked at them with its bright eyes. It seemed to say, "Who are you?" + +Tom and Lily wanted to be friends with the raven. They smiled and waved at it. They said, "Hello, raven! We are Tom and Lily. We like you. You are so powerful and smart." + +The raven was surprised and pleased. It flapped its wings and bowed its head. It seemed to say, "Thank you, Tom and Lily. You are very kind and brave. I like you too. You are so friendly and fun." + +Tom and Lily were happy. They clapped their hands and laughed. They said, "Thank you, raven! Can we play with you?" + +The raven nodded and bowed again. It seemed to say, "Yes, of course. Let's play together. I will show you some tricks and tell you some stories. You will have a great time." + +Tom and Lily were excited. They followed the raven to a different tree. They played and talked with the raven for a long time. They learned a lot from the raven and had a lot of fun. They made a new friend that day. +Lily liked to listen to the radio. She liked the songs and the stories. She wanted to have a radio of her own. She saw a radio in a shop. It was big and shiny. It had many buttons and lights. Lily wanted to buy it. + +She asked her mom for money. Her mom said no. She said the radio was too expensive and too big. She said Lily had to save her money for something else. Lily was sad. She wanted the radio very much. + +She saw an ad on the TV. It said she could order the radio by phone. It said the radio was cheap and easy to pay. It said the radio would make her happy. Lily was excited. She found her mom's phone. She called the number. She ordered the radio. + +The next day, a big box came to the door. Lily opened it. It was the radio. She plugged it in. She turned it on. But the radio did not work. It made a loud noise. It smoked and sparked. It broke. Lily was scared. She cried. + +Her mom came home. She saw the broken radio. She saw the phone bill. She was angry. She asked Lily what she did. Lily told her the truth. She said she was sorry. She said she wanted the radio so much. + +Her mom hugged her. She said she forgave her. She said she loved her. She said she had to learn a lesson. She said she had to be wise. She said she had to not believe everything she saw on the TV. She said she had to ask her mom before she ordered anything. She said she had to be happy with what she had. + +Lily nodded. She said she understood. She said she was sorry again. She said she loved her mom. She said she would be wise. She said she would listen to the radio with her mom. She said she would be happy with that. +One night, Tim saw a bright light in the sky. It was a comet, a big rock with a long tail. He wished he could ride the comet and see the stars. + +He ran to his mom and said, "Mom, can I ride the comet? It looks so cool!" + +Mom smiled and said, "No, Tim, you can't ride the comet. It is too far and too fast. You might get hurt or lost. But you can watch it from here and make a wish." + +Tim was sad, but he listened to his mom. He went back to the window and watched the comet. He made a wish that he would grow up to be a good and brave boy. + +The next day, he told his friends about the comet. They were amazed and said, "Wow, Tim, you are so lucky! You saw a comet!" + +Tim felt happy and said, "Yes, I am lucky. But I also learned something. I learned that I can't always do what I want. Sometimes I have to listen to my mom and be safe. That is more important than riding a comet." + +The end. +Sam and Mia like to play in the snow. They make a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They give him a carrot nose and two rocks for eyes. They are very happy with their snowman. + +But the sun is very bright and warm. It makes the snowman feel hot. The snowman starts to melt. His hat and scarf fall off. His nose and eyes drop to the ground. He gets smaller and smaller. Sam and Mia are very sad. + +They run to the shed and get a bucket. They fill it with snow. They want to fix their snowman. But the snow in the bucket is dirty. It has leaves and dirt and bugs in it. It does not look nice. Sam and Mia do not want to use it. + +They look for more snow. But there is not much left. The sun has melted most of it. They see a little pile of snow under a tree. They run to it. But it is too late. A dog is there. He pees on the snow. It turns yellow and smelly. Sam and Mia say "yuck!" + +They go back to their snowman. He is almost gone. They see only a puddle of water with a hat and a scarf. They are very sad. They hug each other. They say "bye bye, snowman. We will miss you." They hope it will snow again soon. +Lila and Ben were going to visit their grandma for a week. They were very happy because they loved their grandma and she always had fun games and yummy food for them. They packed their bags with their clothes, toys and books and got in the car with their mom and dad. + +When they arrived at grandma's house, they ran to hug her and say hello. Grandma smiled and said, "Welcome, my dear ones! I'm so glad you're here. Come on, let's go inside and unpack your bags. You can choose your rooms and put your things away." + +Lila and Ben followed grandma inside and picked their rooms. Lila chose the one with the pink curtains and the fluffy pillows. Ben chose the one with the blue rug and the toy cars. They opened their bags and started to unpack. Lila took out her clothes and hung them in the closet. Ben took out his toys and books and put them on the shelf. They both took out their dishes and went to the kitchen. + +Grandma was in the kitchen, making cookies and tea. She saw Lila and Ben with their dishes and said, "Oh, how nice! You brought your own dishes. What are they?" + +Lila showed her dish to grandma. It was a small plate with a picture of a bunny on it. She said, "This is my dish. I like it because it has a bunny and it is pink. It is my favorite dish." + +Ben showed his dish to grandma. It was a big bowl with a picture of a dinosaur on it. He said, "This is my dish. I like it because it has a dinosaur and it is green. It is my favorite dish." + +Grandma nodded and said, "They are very pretty dishes. But you know what? They are also very thin dishes. That means they can break easily if you drop them or hit them. You have to be very careful with them and treat them gently. Do you understand?" + +Lila and Ben nodded and said, "Yes, grandma. We understand. We will be careful with our dishes and treat them gently." + +Grandma smiled and said, "That's good. Because thin dishes are like thin feelings. They can break easily if you hurt them or ignore them. You have to be kind and respectful to your dishes and to your feelings. And to other people's dishes and feelings too. Do you understand?" + +Lila and Ben nodded and said, "Yes, grandma. We understand. We will be kind and respectful to our dishes and to our feelings. And to other people's dishes and feelings too." + +Grandma hugged them and said, "That's very good. I'm proud of you. Now, let's have some cookies and tea and enjoy our dishes and our feelings." + +The end. +Mia and Ben like to play cook. They have a small kitchen with pots and pans and fake food. They pretend to make soup and cake and pizza. They put their food on a small table and invite their toys to eat. + +One day, Mia and Ben find a real apple in the kitchen. They think it is a toy apple and they want to cook it. They cut it with a plastic knife and put it in a pot. They add water and salt and sugar and stir it. They put the pot on the stove and turn it on. + +"Look, we are making apple soup!" Mia says. + +"Yum, yum, I want to try it!" Ben says. + +They wait for a few minutes and then turn off the stove. They pour the apple soup into two bowls and bring them to the table. They sit down and take a spoonful of the soup. + +"Yuck!" Mia says. "This soup is bad!" + +"Yuck!" Ben says. "This soup is spoiled!" + +They spit out the soup and make a face. They look at the apple and see that it is brown and mushy. They realize that it is not a toy apple, but a real apple that was old and rotten. + +"Oops!" Mia says. "We cooked a bad apple!" + +"Oops!" Ben says. "We need to throw it away!" + +They get up and take the pot and the bowls to the trash. They wash their hands and their mouths. They decide to play something else. They do not want to cook anymore. They learn that not all food is good for cooking. +Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play with boats. They made boats from paper, wood, and plastic. They sailed their boats in the pond, the bathtub, and the pool. They had fun with their boats. + +One day, Lily saw a big boat in the toy store. It was shiny and red, and it had a motor. Lily wanted the boat very much. She asked her mom to buy it for her, but her mom said no. It was too expensive and they had enough boats at home. + +Lily was sad and envious. She wished she had the big boat. She thought Ben would like her more if she had the big boat. She stopped playing with her old boats and stayed in her room. + +Ben missed Lily. He wondered why she did not want to play with him anymore. He went to her house and knocked on her door. He brought a gift for her. It was a bag of meat. He knew Lily liked meat. He wanted to share it with her and make her happy. + +Lily opened the door and saw Ben. She saw the bag of meat and the smile on his face. She felt ashamed. She realized she had been selfish and unkind. She did not need the big boat to be happy. She had a good friend who cared for her. She hugged Ben and thanked him for the meat. She invited him to play with her old boats. They sailed their boats in the pond, the bathtub, and the pool. They had fun with their boats. + +The moral of the story is: Be grateful for what you have and do not be envious of what others have. Friendship is more valuable than toys. +Anna and Ben are twins. They are going to visit Grandma and Grandpa for the weekend. They have to pack their bags with clothes and toys. Anna likes to pack her bag by herself. She is very honest and only takes what she needs. Ben likes to pack his bag with help from Mom. He is not very honest and tries to sneak in extra things. + +"Ben, why do you have so many cushions in your bag?" Mom asks. + +"I need them, Mom. They are soft and cozy and make me happy," Ben says. + +"But you don't have room for your clothes and toys. And Grandma and Grandpa have plenty of cushions at their house. You don't need to bring your own," Mom says. + +"Yes, I do, Mom. They are mine and I love them," Ben says. + +"Ben, you are being selfish and greedy. You have to share and be fair. Anna only has one cushion in her bag. Why don't you give some of your cushions to her?" Mom says. + +"No, Mom. They are mine and I don't want to share," Ben says. + +Anna hears Ben and Mom arguing. She comes to see what is wrong. She sees Ben's bag full of cushions and her bag with only one. + +"Ben, can I have one of your cushions, please? Mine is old and flat and not very soft. Yours are new and fluffy and very soft. Can we trade?" Anna asks. + +"No, Anna. They are mine and I don't want to trade," Ben says. + +"Please, Ben. I am your sister and I love you. Can't you be nice and share?" Anna asks. + +"No, Anna. They are mine and I love them more," Ben says. + +Anna feels sad and hurt. She doesn't understand why Ben is so mean and stingy. She starts to cry. + +Mom hears Anna crying. She is angry and disappointed with Ben. She decides to teach him a lesson. + +"Ben, if you don't want to share your cushions with Anna, then you can't have any of them. I am going to take them all out of your bag and put them back in your room. You can only bring one cushion, like Anna. And you have to say sorry to her for being rude and unkind," Mom says. + +Ben is shocked and scared. He doesn't want to lose his cushions. He doesn't want to say sorry. He starts to cry too. + +"Mom, please, don't take my cushions. I need them. I love them. Please, please, please," Ben begs. + +"Too late, Ben. You had your chance to be honest and generous. Now you have to face the consequences. Maybe next time you will think twice before being selfish and greedy," Mom says. + +She takes all the cushions out of Ben's bag and puts them back in his room. She gives him one cushion and tells him to pack his clothes and toys. She also tells him to apologize to Anna and give her a hug. + +Ben feels ashamed and sorry. He realizes he was wrong and he hurt Anna's feelings. He goes to Anna and says sorry. He gives her a hug and offers her one of his toys. Anna forgives him and smiles. She thanks him and gives him a kiss. + +Mom sees them and smiles too. She is proud of them for making up and being nice. She tells them to finish packing and get ready to go. She hopes they will have a fun and happy weekend with Grandma and Grandpa. She also hopes they will learn to be more honest and share more. +Anna and Ben loved to play on the beach. They liked to build sand castles, collect shells, and splash in the water. But they were fearful of the big waves that crashed on the shore. They never went too far into the ocean. + +One day, they saw a little fish on the sand. It was shiny and colorful, but it was not moving. Anna and Ben felt sorry for the fish. They wanted to help it. + +"Let's put it back in the water," Anna said. + +"But the waves are scary," Ben said. + +"We can do it together," Anna said. "We can be brave." + +They picked up the fish gently and walked towards the ocean. They held each other's hands and counted to three. Then they threw the fish into the water. + +The fish splashed and swam away. It looked happy and free. Anna and Ben smiled and cheered. + +They heard a voice from the water. It was the fish. + +"Thank you, Anna and Ben," the fish said. "You saved my life. You are very kind and courageous." + +Anna and Ben were surprised and delighted. They had made a new friend. + +They waved to the fish and said goodbye. They were not fearful of the ocean anymore. They had learned to help. +Anna and Ben liked to spend time in the park. They liked to run, play, and look at the flowers and trees. One day, they saw a new trail in the park. It was light brown and had many stones and leaves on it. + +"Let's go there!" Ben said. "Maybe we can find something fun." + +"OK!" Anna said. "But we have to be careful. Mommy said not to go too far." + +They followed the trail for a while. They saw a big hill, a small pond, and a red bird. They were happy and curious. But then, they heard a loud roar. + +"What was that?" Anna asked. She felt scared. + +"I don't know," Ben said. He felt scared too. "Maybe it's a lion or a bear." + +They looked around and saw a big shadow behind a bush. It had sharp teeth and yellow eyes. It was a wolf! + +"Run!" Ben shouted. He grabbed Anna's hand and they ran back to the park. The wolf chased them, but they were faster. + +They reached the park and saw their mommy. She was waiting for them with a picnic basket. + +"Mommy, mommy!" Anna cried. "There was a wolf on the trail!" + +"A wolf?" Mommy asked. She looked surprised and worried. "Are you sure?" + +"Yes, yes!" Ben said. "It was big and scary and it roared at us!" + +Mommy hugged them and said, "I'm so glad you're safe. You shouldn't go on that trail. It's dangerous. It's for big people, not for little kids." + +"We're sorry, Mommy," Anna and Ben said. "We won't go there again." + +Mommy smiled and said, "It's OK. You learned your lesson. Now, let's have some sandwiches and juice. You must be hungry and thirsty." + +Anna and Ben nodded and said, "Yes, please." + +They sat on a blanket and ate their lunch. They were happy to be with their mommy. They forgot about the wolf and the trail. They only remembered the fun they had in the park. +Anna and Ben were friends who liked to play with trains. They had many trains of different colors and sizes. They also had a big track that they could make into different shapes. Sometimes they shared their trains and track, and sometimes they wanted to keep their own. + +One day, Anna saw a new train that Ben had. It was red and shiny and had a loud whistle. Anna wanted to play with it very much. She asked Ben, "Can I borrow your red train, please?" + +Ben shook his head. "No, this is my new train. I don't want to share it. You can play with your blue train." + +Anna felt sad and angry. She thought Ben was not a good friend. She waited until Ben was not looking, and then she took his red train and hid it behind a pillow. She thought, "Now I can play with the red train, and Ben will not know." + +But Ben soon noticed that his red train was gone. He looked everywhere for it, but he could not find it. He asked Anna, "Have you seen my red train? I can't find it anywhere." + +Anna pretended that she did not know. She said, "No, I have not seen your red train. Maybe you lost it." + +Ben felt sad and angry. He thought Anna was not a good friend. He decided to take something from Anna. He saw her delicious cookie on the table. He thought, "Now I can eat her cookie, and Anna will not know." + +But Anna soon noticed that her cookie was gone. She looked everywhere for it, but she could not find it. She asked Ben, "Have you seen my cookie? I can't find it anywhere." + +Ben pretended that he did not know. He said, "No, I have not seen your cookie. Maybe you ate it." + +Anna felt sad and angry. She thought Ben was not a good friend. She decided to tell the truth. She said, "I took your red train, and I hid it behind the pillow. I'm sorry, Ben. I should not have done that. Can I give it back to you?" + +Ben felt sad and angry. He decided to tell the truth. He said, "I took your cookie, and I ate it. I'm sorry, Anna. I should not have done that. Can I share my other cookie with you?" + +Anna and Ben looked at each other. They felt sorry for what they had done. They said, "I'm sorry, too. You are my friend. Can we share our trains and track?" + +They hugged each other and said, "Yes, we can share our trains and track. Sharing is more fun than taking." + +They took out their trains and track and played together happily. They also shared Ben's other cookie and agreed that it was delicious. They learned that borrowing and asking are better than taking and hiding. They also learned that being honest and kind are better than being sneaky and mean. They were glad that they were friends again. +Ben and Lily were bored. It was a gloomy day and they could not go outside. They looked around the house for something fun to do. They saw a big box with a lot of buttons on it. It was their dad's old radio. + +"Let's act like we are on the radio!" Ben said. "We can talk and sing and make noises!" + +"Okay!" Lily said. "But we have to be quiet. Mom is sleeping." + +They took the radio to their room and plugged it in. They turned on a button and heard a loud crackle. They giggled and started to act. + +"Hello, hello, this is Ben and Lily, the best radio show in the world!" Ben said. + +"Yes, yes, we are here to make you happy and laugh!" Lily said. + +They took turns to tell jokes, sing songs, and make animal sounds. They had a lot of fun. They did not notice that the radio was getting very hot and smoky. + +Suddenly, there was a loud bang and a flash. The radio exploded and set the curtains on fire. Ben and Lily screamed and ran out of the room. They saw their mom wake up and smell the smoke. She was very angry and scared. + +"What have you done?" she yelled. "You could have burned the house down! You are in big trouble!" + +Ben and Lily cried and said they were sorry. They wished they had not played with the radio. It was a very bad day. +Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a funny tree. The tree has many colors on it. Red, yellow, green, blue, purple. The tree looks like a rainbow. + +"Wow, look at that tree!" Sara says. "It is so pretty!" + +Ben nods. He likes the tree too. He wants to touch it. He runs to the tree. Sara follows him. + +They stare at the tree. They see something shiny on the tree. It is a necklace. The necklace has a big star on it. The star sparkles in the sun. + +"Who put this here?" Ben asks. He reaches for the necklace. + +"Wait, Ben!" Sara says. "Maybe it belongs to someone. Maybe it is a magic necklace. Maybe it is a trap!" + +But Ben does not listen. He grabs the necklace. He puts it around his neck. He smiles. + +"Look, Sara, I am a star now!" he says. + +Sara shakes her head. She thinks Ben is silly. She does not want the necklace. She wants to play with something else. + +Suddenly, they hear a loud noise. It is a roar. They turn around. They see a big lion. The lion is angry. The lion wants the necklace. The lion thinks the necklace is his. + +"Run, Ben, run!" Sara screams. "The lion is coming!" + +Ben is scared. He tries to take off the necklace. But it is too tight. He cannot take it off. He runs with Sara. The lion runs after them. + +They run to the swings. They see their mom and dad. They call for help. + +"Mom, dad, help us!" they shout. "There is a lion in the park!" + +Mom and dad are surprised. They do not see the lion. They only see the funny tree. They think Sara and Ben are playing a game. + +"Where is the lion, kids?" mom asks. "Is it behind the tree?" + +Sara and Ben point to the lion. But the lion is gone. The lion ran away. The lion did not like the swings. The lion was afraid of mom and dad. + +Sara and Ben are confused. They do not know where the lion went. They do not know why the lion wanted the necklace. They do not know why mom and dad did not see the lion. + +They look at each other. They look at the necklace. They look at the tree. + +They think the tree is not funny anymore. They think the tree is scary. They think the necklace is not pretty anymore. They think the necklace is bad. + +They want to go home. They want to forget the tree. They want to forget the necklace. They want to forget the lion. + +They hug mom and dad. They say sorry. They say they will not play with the tree again. + +Mom and dad smile. They do not understand. They think Sara and Ben are cute. They think Sara and Ben have a big imagination. + +They take Sara and Ben home. They give them cookies. They tell them a story. They tuck them in bed. + +Sara and Ben fall asleep. They dream of the tree. They dream of the necklace. They dream of the lion. + +They hope it is only a dream. They hope it will not happen again. They hope the lion will not come back. +Lily and Ben love to go to the zoo with their mom and dad. They like to see the big and small animals, and hear the noises they make. They also like to eat ice cream and popcorn at the zoo. + +One day, they went to the zoo and saw a new animal. It was a dog, but not like their dog at home. It was very big and had long hair and sharp teeth. It was called a wolf. Lily and Ben wanted to pet the wolf, but their mom and dad said no. They said the wolf was wild and could bite. + +Lily and Ben were sad. They wanted to be friends with the wolf. They thought the wolf looked lonely in its cage. They decided to sneak away from their mom and dad and search for the wolf. They walked around the zoo, looking for the sign that said "wolf". + +They found the sign, but they did not see the wolf. They saw an empty cage with a hole in the fence. The wolf had escaped! Lily and Ben were scared. They did not know what to do. They heard a loud howl from behind them. They turned around and saw the wolf. It was looking at them with its yellow eyes. +
