+"Hello, wolf," Lily said. "We want to be your friends. We are not afraid of you."
+
+The wolf did not answer. It came closer to them, sniffing and growling. Lily and Ben backed away, but they had nowhere to go. They wished their mom and dad were there.
+
+Suddenly, they heard another howl. It was their dog at home. Their dog had followed them to the zoo. He was loyal and wanted to protect them. He ran towards the wolf, barking and wagging his tail. He was not afraid of the wolf either.
+
+The wolf stopped growling. He looked at the dog. He recognized the dog as one of his kind. He wagged his tail too. He did not want to hurt the dog or the children. He was lonely and wanted to be their friend too.
+
+Lily and Ben smiled. They were happy. They had made a new friend. They hugged their dog and thanked him for saving them. They also hugged the wolf and said sorry for bothering him.
+
+Their mom and dad came running. They were worried and angry. They had been searching for them all over the zoo. They saw the wolf and the hole in the fence. They were shocked and scared.
+
+But Lily and Ben explained everything. They said the wolf was nice and their dog was brave. They said they wanted to help the wolf find a new home. They said they were sorry for sneaking away.
+
+Their mom and dad hugged them and said they were glad they were safe. They said they were proud of their dog and his loyalty. They said they were sorry for the wolf and his loneliness. They said they would talk to the zookeepers and see what they could do.
+
+They all walked back to the zoo entrance, holding hands. The wolf followed them, howling softly. The dog followed him, barking happily. Lily and Ben followed them, laughing and talking. They had learned a lot that day. They had learned about wolves and dogs, about wild and tame, about loyalty and friendship. They had learned to love the zoo even more.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run and slide and swing. They saw a big truck with a picture of ice cream on it. They ran to the truck and asked for ice cream.
+
+"What flavor do you want?" the man in the truck said.
+
+"I want chocolate," Tom said.
+
+"I want strawberry," Lily said.
+
+The man gave them each a cone with ice cream on top. They paid him with coins and said thank you.
+
+They walked to a bench and licked their ice cream. It was cold and sweet and yummy. They were happy.
+
+But then, a big dog appeared. It was brown and furry and had a long tongue. It saw the ice cream and ran to Tom and Lily. It barked and jumped and tried to get their cones.
+
+"Go away, dog!" Tom said. He held his cone high in the air.
+
+"Bad dog!" Lily said. She hid her cone behind her back.
+
+But the dog was too fast and too strong. It snatched Tom's cone with its mouth and ran away. Tom was sad and angry. He cried and stamped his feet.
+
+Lily felt sorry for Tom. She looked at her cone. It was still full of ice cream. She had an idea.
+
+"Here, Tom," she said. She broke her cone in half and gave one half to Tom. "You can have some of mine."
+
+Tom smiled and wiped his tears. He took the half cone from Lily. It fit in his hand. He licked the ice cream. It was still cold and sweet and yummy.
+
+"Thank you, Lily," he said. "You are a good friend."
+
+They hugged and shared the ice cream. They were happy again.
+Sam and Mia were playing with marbles on the floor. Sam had a large marble that was red and shiny. He liked it very much and did not want to share it with Mia. Mia asked him, "Can I play with your large marble, please?"
+
+Sam said, "No, this is mine. You have your own marbles." He ignored Mia and rolled his large marble across the floor.
+
+Mia felt sad and angry. She wanted to play with the large marble too. She thought it was not fair that Sam did not share. She said, "Sam, you are not nice. You should share your toys with your friends."
+
+Sam still ignored Mia and kept playing with his large marble. He did not care what Mia said. He thought he was the best and his large marble was the best.
+
+Mia had an idea. She saw a small marble that was green and sparkly. She picked it up and said, "Look, Sam, I have a better marble than you. It is green and sparkly and it can do tricks. Do you want to see?"
+
+Sam looked at Mia and saw her small marble. He felt curious and jealous. He said, "What tricks can it do? Let me see."
+
+Mia smiled and said, "OK, I will show you. But you have to give me your large marble first. Then we can trade and play with each other's marbles."
+
+Sam thought for a moment. He wanted to see the tricks, but he did not want to give up his large marble. He said, "No, I don't want to trade. I like my large marble. You can keep your small marble."
+
+Mia said, "Fine, then I will keep my small marble and you will never see the tricks. They are very cool and fun. You are missing out."
+
+She turned away from Sam and started to play with her small marble. She made it jump and spin and bounce. She pretended to have a lot of fun and laughed.
+
+Sam watched Mia and felt left out. He wondered what the tricks were and how they worked. He wished he could play with the small marble too. He realized he had been mean and selfish. He said, "Mia, I'm sorry. I was wrong. Can we trade and play together?"
+
+Mia looked at Sam and saw he was sorry. She said, "OK, Sam, I forgive you. We can trade and play together. But you have to promise to share and be nice from now on."
+
+Sam said, "I promise, Mia. Thank you for being my friend."
+
+They traded their marbles and played with them happily. They learned to share and be nice and have fun. They did not ignore each other anymore.
+Anna loved to visit the zoo with her mom. She liked to see all the different animals and learn their names. Her favorite animal was the lion, because he was big and strong and had a loud roar. She wanted to hear him roar every time she saw him.
+
+One day, when they went to the zoo, Anna saw something new. Next to the lion's cage, there was a big garden with many flowers. They were all different colors and shapes, and some of them smelled very nice. Anna asked her mom what they were.
+
+"Those are tulips," her mom said. "They are a kind of flower that bloom in the spring. That means they open up and show their pretty petals. Do you like them?"
+
+Anna nodded. She liked them very much. She wanted to touch them and smell them. She asked her mom if she could go closer to the garden.
+
+"Okay, but be careful," her mom said. "Don't go too close to the lion's cage, and don't pick any flowers. They belong to the zoo."
+
+Anna agreed. She walked slowly to the garden, holding her mom's hand. She looked at the tulips with wonder. She saw one that was red and yellow, like a fire. She reached out to touch it.
+
+But as she did, she heard a loud roar. She turned around and saw the lion, staring at her with his big yellow eyes. He looked angry and hungry. He bared his teeth and roared again.
+
+Anna was scared. She dropped her hand and ran back to her mom. She hugged her mom and cried.
+
+"It's okay, sweetie," her mom said. "The lion can't hurt you. He's behind the bars. He was just protecting his territory. He doesn't like anyone near his cage."
+
+Anna looked at the lion again. He was still growling and pacing. She felt sorry for him. He looked lonely and bored. She wished he had a friend and a bigger space to play.
+
+"Mom, why is the lion here?" she asked. "Why can't he go home?"
+
+Her mom sighed. She explained that the lion was from a faraway land, where there were many other lions and animals. But some bad people had hunted them and taken their land. They had captured the lion and sold him to the zoo. The zoo was trying to help him and keep him safe, but they couldn't give him everything he needed.
+
+"That's sad," Anna said. "The lion is ancient, like the dinosaurs. He should be free and happy."
+
+Her mom nodded. She agreed with Anna. She wished there was something they could do for the lion. She hugged Anna and said, "Maybe someday, he will be. Maybe someday, people will learn to respect and protect the animals, and let them live in peace. Until then, we can visit him and show him some love. Do you want to do that?"
+
+Anna nodded. She wiped her tears and smiled. She wanted to do that. She wanted to be the lion's friend. She waved at the lion and said, "Hello, lion. I'm Anna. I like you. And I like your tulips. They are very pretty. Maybe you can share them with me someday."
+
+The lion looked at Anna. He stopped growling and pacing. He tilted his head and blinked. He seemed curious and calm. He gave a soft roar, as if to say hello back.
+
+Anna and her mom smiled. They felt a connection with the lion. They hoped he felt it too. They stayed with him for a while, talking and singing and admiring the tulips. They made the lion's day a little brighter. And he made theirs.
+Lila and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big snowman in their yard. It had a hat, a scarf, a carrot nose, and two buttons for eyes. They wanted to say hello to the snowman and give him a hug.
+
+But when they got closer, they saw that the snowman was not happy. He was dripping and shrinking. The sun was too hot and made him melt. His hat was falling off, his scarf was loose, his nose was crooked, and his eyes were sad.
+
+Lila and Ben felt sorry for the snowman. They wanted to help him. They ran inside and got some blankets and a bucket of ice. They wrapped the blankets around the snowman and put the ice on his head. They hoped he would feel better.
+
+But the snowman was still melting. He said, "Thank you, Lila and Ben, but I don't think I can stay. The sun is too strong and I am too weak. I wish I could be your friend, but I have to go."
+
+Lila and Ben were sad. They didn't want the snowman to go. They hugged him and said, "We love you, snowman. You are our friend. Please don't go."
+
+The snowman smiled and said, "I love you too, Lila and Ben. You are very kind and brave. You tried to save me, but you can't fight the sun. You have to let me go. But don't be sad. I will always be in your hearts. And maybe, when the winter comes again, I will come back."
+
+Then the snowman melted away. All that was left was his hat, his scarf, his nose, and his buttons. Lila and Ben picked them up and put them in a box. They said, "Goodbye, snowman. We will miss you. We will keep your things safe until you come back."
+
+They went inside and told their mom what happened. She hugged them and said, "You did a good thing, Lila and Ben. You showed the snowman that you cared. You learned that some things don't last forever, but some things do. Like love and friendship. Those are the things that matter most."
+
+Lila and Ben nodded. They felt a little better. They looked outside and saw that the sun was still shining. But they also saw a gray cloud in the sky. They wondered if it would snow again. They hoped it would. They hoped they would see the snowman again. They hoped he would remember them.
+Anna liked to observe things. She liked to look at the sky, the trees, the birds, and the cars. She also liked to observe the furniture in her house. She liked to see the colors, the shapes, and the textures of the chairs, the tables, the sofas, and the beds.
+
+One day, Anna decided to observe the furniture in her parents' room. She opened the door and saw a big bed, a dresser, a mirror, and a closet. She walked to the bed and touched the soft blanket. She climbed on the bed and bounced on the pillows. She giggled and had fun.
+
+Then, she walked to the dresser and opened the drawers. She saw some clothes, some jewelry, and some papers. She took out a necklace and put it around her neck. She took out a watch and put it on her wrist. She took out some papers and looked at them. She saw some words and some numbers. She did not understand them.
+
+She walked to the mirror and saw herself. She smiled and made faces. She saw the necklace and the watch. She felt pretty and happy. She walked to the closet and opened the door. She saw more clothes, some shoes, and some boxes. She took out a dress and a hat. She put them on and looked at the mirror again. She felt fancy and silly.
+
+She did not hear the door open. She did not see her parents come in. She did not notice their serious faces. She only heard their loud voices.
+
+"Anna, what are you doing?" her mom asked.
+
+"Anna, why are you wearing our things?" her dad asked.
+
+Anna turned around and saw them. She felt scared and sorry. She did not mean to make them angry. She only wanted to observe the furniture. She did not know the papers were important. She did not know the necklace and the watch were expensive. She did not know the dress and the hat were special.
+
+She took off the dress and the hat. She took off the necklace and the watch. She put them back in the closet and the dresser. She climbed off the bed and ran to her parents. She hugged them and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
+
+Her parents hugged her back and said, "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay." They were not angry anymore. They were only worried. They told her that she should not touch their things without asking. They told her that some things were not for playing. They told her that they loved her and wanted her to be safe.
+
+Anna nodded and said, "I understand, I understand, I understand." She loved them too and wanted them to be happy. She learned a lesson that day. She learned to respect the furniture and the things in her parents' room. She learned to observe with her eyes, not with her hands. She learned to be careful and polite. She was a good girl.
+Tom and Anna love to play with their toys. They have many toys, but their favorite is a big red plane. They like to make the plane fly in the air and make noises like zoom and vroom.
+
+One day, Tom and Anna are playing with the plane in the living room. They throw the plane up and catch it. They have a lot of fun. But then, Tom throws the plane too hard and it hits the wall. The plane breaks into two pieces. Tom and Anna are very sad.
+
+"Oh no, our plane is broken!" Tom cries.
+
+"What will we do?" Anna asks.
+
+They look at the broken plane and feel worried. They think their mom will be angry with them. They think they will not have a plane to play with anymore.
+
+They hear their mom coming from the kitchen. They hide the broken plane behind the couch. They hope their mom will not see it.
+
+"Hi, kids, what are you playing with?" their mom asks.
+
+"Nothing, mom, just some toys," Tom says.
+
+Their mom smiles and says, "I have a surprise for you. I went to the store and I saw a new toy that I think you will like. Do you want to see it?"
+
+Tom and Anna nod. They are curious. Their mom brings a big box from the kitchen and opens it. Inside the box is a new plane. It is blue and shiny and has lights and sounds.
+
+"Wow, a new plane!" Tom and Anna shout.
+
+They run to the box and take out the new plane. They hug their mom and thank her. They are very happy.
+
+They forget about the broken plane behind the couch. They play with the new plane in the living room. They make the plane fly in the air and make noises like beep and boop.
+
+Their mom watches them and smiles. She is glad they like the new plane. She knows they broke the old plane, but she does not mind. She thinks they learned a lesson. She thinks they will be more careful with their toys. She thinks she will replace the broken plane with a new one. She loves her kids.
+Sara and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to build things with sticks and stones. They made a shelter with sticks and leaves. It was their original shelter. They were proud of it.
+
+"Look at our shelter!" Sara said. "It is so big and cozy!"
+
+"Yes, it is!" Ben said. "We can hide in it and have fun!"
+
+But then, a big dog came. The dog was hungry and angry. It saw the shelter and ran towards it. It wanted to eat the sticks and leaves.
+
+"Go away, dog!" Sara and Ben shouted. "This is our shelter! You cannot have it!"
+
+But the dog did not listen. It barked and bit the shelter. It tore it apart. The sticks and leaves flew everywhere. The shelter was gone.
+
+Sara and Ben were sad and scared. They ran away from the dog. They looked for their mom and dad. But they could not find them. They were lost in the park.
+
+They started to cry and complain. They wanted their shelter back. They wanted their mom and dad. They wanted to go home.
+
+But no one heard them. No one helped them. They were alone in the park. It was getting dark and cold. They had no shelter. They had no fun. They had a bad ending.
+Ben liked music very much. He wanted to play the guitar like his big sister, Mia. Mia was very good at playing the guitar. She learned from a teacher who came to their house every week. Their house was big and nice. Their parents were wealthy and bought them many things.
+
+One day, Ben saw Mia's guitar in her room. He wanted to try it. He picked it up and held it in his arms. He strummed the strings with his fingers. He made some loud noises. He smiled and felt happy.
+
+"Ben, what are you doing?" Mia asked. She came into her room and saw Ben with her guitar. She was not happy. She wanted to practice for her recital. She took the guitar from Ben and put it back on the stand. "This is my guitar, not yours. You can't play it. You are too small and you don't know how."
+
+Ben felt sad and angry. He wanted to play the guitar too. He did not like Mia. He thought she was mean and selfish. He ran out of the room and cried.
+
+"Ben, don't cry," their mom said. She heard Ben and came to him. She hugged him and wiped his tears. "Why are you crying, sweetie?"
+
+"Mia won't let me play her guitar," Ben said. "She said I can't play it. She said I am too small and I don't know how."
+
+Mom smiled and kissed Ben. "Mia loves her guitar very much. She works hard to play it well. She is not mean and selfish. She just wants to protect her guitar. But I understand that you want to try it too. You like music very much. You are not too small and you can learn how. How about we buy you a guitar of your own? A smaller one that fits you. And we can find you a teacher who can teach you how to play it. Would you like that?"
+
+Ben's eyes lit up. He nodded and hugged mom. "Yes, mom, I would like that very much. Thank you, mom. You are the best."
+
+Mom smiled and hugged Ben back. "You are welcome, Ben. You are the best too. Now, let's go and find you a guitar. And maybe you can say sorry to Mia and tell her you love her. She is your sister and she loves you too."
+
+Ben agreed. He felt happy and excited. He ran to Mia's room and knocked on the door. He said sorry to Mia and told her he loved her. Mia smiled and hugged him. She said sorry too and told him she loved him. She said she was proud of him for wanting to play the guitar. She said she would help him if he needed. They made up and played together.
+
+The end.
+Lily and Tom were playing outside with their ball. They saw a big cloud in the sky. It was dark and angry. It made a loud noise like a train.
+
+"Look, Lily, a tornado!" Tom said. He was scared.
+
+"Let's go inside, Tom. Mom and Dad will keep us safe," Lily said. She took Tom's hand and ran to the house.
+
+They knocked on the door. Mom opened it and hugged them.
+
+"Welcome, my sweeties. You are very brave. Come in, the tornado is far away now," Mom said. She gave them cookies and milk.
+
+Lily and Tom looked out the window. They saw an elderly man walking on the street. He had a hat and a cane. He looked sad and lonely.
+
+"Who is that, Mom?" Lily asked.
+
+"That is Mr. Jones. He lives alone in the blue house. He has no family or friends," Mom said.
+
+"Can we say hello to him, Mom? Maybe he needs a hug," Tom said.
+
+Mom smiled and nodded. She put on their coats and shoes.
+
+"Let's go, then. Maybe we can make him feel welcome," Mom said.
+
+They went outside and walked to Mr. Jones. He saw them and smiled.
+
+"Hello, children. What are you doing here?" he asked.
+
+"Hello, Mr. Jones. We are Lily and Tom. We live in the yellow house. We want to be your friends," Lily said.
+
+"Yes, Mr. Jones. We saw the tornado and we were scared. But Mom said it is gone now. Are you okay?" Tom said.
+
+Mr. Jones nodded and wiped a tear from his eye.
+
+"I'm okay, thank you. You are very kind and sweet. I'm happy to meet you," he said.
+
+He bent down and hugged them. They hugged him back.
+
+"Can we play with you, Mr. Jones? We have a ball and a kite," Lily said.
+
+"Of course, my dears. I would love that. Let's go to the park and have some fun," Mr. Jones said.
+
+They walked to the park, holding hands. They played with the ball and the kite. They laughed and talked. They felt happy and welcome.
+Tom and Anna liked to play with their round ball in the park. They threw it, kicked it, and rolled it on the grass. One day, they saw a new boy sitting on a bench. He had a round hat and a round nose. He looked sad and lonely.
+
+"Hello," Tom said to the boy. "What is your name?"
+
+The boy did not answer. He just looked at his round hat.
+
+"Can we play with you?" Anna asked. "We have a round ball. It is fun."
+
+The boy shook his head. He did not want to play.
+
+Tom and Anna felt sorry for the boy. They wanted to make him happy. They thought of a plan.
+
+"Look at this," Tom said. He took off his round hat and put it on the ball. He made a face with his fingers. "This is a charming ball. It can talk and sing. Do you want to hear it?"
+
+The boy looked at the ball with curiosity. He nodded.
+
+"Hello, I am the charming ball," Anna said in a funny voice. "I like to play with nice boys. Do you want to be my friend?"
+
+The boy smiled. He reached out his hand and touched the ball. He felt the hat and the fingers.
+
+"This is not a ball," he said. "This is a trick."
+
+Tom and Anna laughed. They took off the hat and the fingers. They showed the boy the real ball.
+
+"It is a trick, but a good trick," Tom said. "We wanted to make you laugh. We are sorry if we scared you."
+
+The boy laughed too. He was not scared. He was glad.
+
+"That was a good trick," he said. "You are funny. My name is Ben. Can I play with you?"
+
+Tom and Anna nodded. They gave the ball to Ben. They became friends. They played with the round ball in the park. They had a lot of fun.
+One day, a boy named Tom went to the beach with his mom and dad. He liked to play in the sand and look at the waves. He saw many fish and birds and shells. He was very happy.
+
+Then he saw something big and gray in the water. It had a round head and a long body. It had flippers and whiskers. It was a seal. Tom was curious. He wanted to meet the seal.
+
+He ran to the water and waved his hand. He said, "Hello, seal! Do you want to play with me?" The seal saw Tom and swam closer. It made a loud noise. It said, "Arf, arf, arf!" Tom laughed. He said, "You are funny, seal. What is your name?"
+
+The seal said, "Arf, arf, arf!" again. Tom thought that was the seal's name. He said, "Nice to meet you, Arf. I am Tom. Can I touch you?" The seal nodded. It came out of the water and let Tom pet its fur. It felt soft and wet. Tom smiled. He said, "You are soft, Arf. I like you."
+
+Arf liked Tom too. He was friendly and gentle. He wanted to be Tom's friend. He said, "Arf, arf, arf!" He gave Tom a kiss on the cheek. Tom giggled. He said, "You are sweet, Arf. You are my friend."
+
+Tom and Arf played together for a long time. They splashed in the water and rolled in the sand. They had fun. They were happy. They were loyal to each other. They did not want to say goodbye.
+
+But soon it was time to go home. Tom's mom and dad called him. They said, "Tom, it is time to leave. Come on, let's go." Tom was sad. He did not want to leave Arf. He said, "But mom, dad, I want to stay with Arf. He is my friend."
+
+Tom's mom and dad understood. They said, "We know, Tom. Arf is your friend. But he lives in the sea. He has to go back to his family. You can come back another day and see him again. He will remember you. He will wait for you."
+
+Tom nodded. He knew they were right. He said, "Okay, mom, dad. I will come back another day. I will see Arf again." He turned to Arf and hugged him. He said, "Bye, Arf. I will miss you. You are my friend. You are loyal. I love you."
+
+Arf hugged Tom back. He said, "Arf, arf, arf!" He meant, "Bye, Tom. I will miss you too. You are my friend. You are loyal. I love you."
+
+Tom and Arf said goodbye. They watched each other as they walked away. They hoped to meet again soon. They were friends. They were loyal. They were happy.
+Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play outside at night. They see many stars in the sky. They point at the stars and say their names.
+
+"Look, Lily, that is the Big Bear!" Tom says.
+
+"Wow, it is so big and bright!" Lily says.
+
+They see another star that is very shiny. It is the North Star. It helps people find their way.
+
+"That is the North Star, Tom. It is the best star!" Lily says.
+
+"I like it too, Lily. It is a great star!" Tom says.
+
+They hear their mom call them from the house. It is time to go to bed.
+
+"Come on, Tom and Lily, it is late. You need to sleep," mom says.
+
+"Okay, mom, we are coming," Tom and Lily say.
+
+They run to the house and hug their mom. They say good night to the stars.
+
+"Good night, Big Bear. Good night, North Star. Good night, all the stars. We will see you again tomorrow," they say.
+
+They go to their room and get into their beds. They close their eyes and dream of the stars. They are happy.
+Mira was a little cat who lived with her family in a big house. She liked to play with her toys, chase the birds and nap on the sofa. But sometimes she felt envious of her brother Leo, who had a longer and fluffier tail than her. She thought his tail was more beautiful and fun to swing.
+
+One day, Mira decided to try to make her tail longer and fluffier. She found a ball of wool in the basket and wrapped it around her tail. She looked at herself in the mirror and smiled. She thought she looked like Leo now. She ran to show him her new tail.
+
+"Look, Leo, look at my tail!" she said, wagging it proudly.
+
+Leo looked at her and yawned. He was not impressed by her wooly tail. He thought it looked silly and messy.
+
+"That's not a real tail, Mira. That's just wool. You can't fool me," he said, flicking his own tail.
+
+Mira felt sad and angry. She wanted Leo to like her tail and play with her. She unwrapped the wool from her tail and threw it away. She ran to her mother and cuddled with her.
+
+"Mama, why is Leo so mean to me? Why does he have a better tail than me?" she asked, sniffling.
+
+"Mira, my sweet, Leo is not mean to you. He just likes to tease you sometimes. And he doesn't have a better tail than you. He has a different tail than you. But both of your tails are lovely and special, just like you are. You don't need to change your tail to be happy. You just need to love yourself and your tail," her mother said, stroking her fur.
+
+Mira felt better and smiled. She realized her mother was right. She didn't need to be envious of Leo's tail. She liked her own tail just the way it was. She hugged her mother and thanked her.
+
+"Thank you, mama. I love you and I love my tail," she said.
+
+"I love you too, Mira. And I love your tail," her mother said.
+Anna and Ben were playing in the park with their mom. They liked to swing, slide and run on the grass. They were having a lot of fun.
+
+"Look, mom, I can swing so high!" Anna shouted.
+
+"Be careful, Anna, don't fall!" mom said.
+
+"I won't, mom, I'm a big girl!" Anna said.
+
+But then, Anna slipped from the swing and landed on the ground. She felt a sharp pain in her knee. She started to cry.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow, it hurts, mom, it hurts!" Anna sobbed.
+
+Mom ran to Anna and hugged her. She looked at her knee and saw a small cut and some blood.
+
+"Oh, Anna, I'm sorry, you have a boo-boo. Let me clean it and put a band-aid on it, okay?" mom said.
+
+She took out a wet wipe and a band-aid from her bag and gently cleaned and covered Anna's wound.
+
+"There, all better. Does it still hurt?" mom asked.
+
+"A little bit, mom, but not so much. Thank you, mom, you're the best!" Anna said.
+
+Mom smiled and kissed Anna's cheek.
+
+"I'm glad you're feeling better, Anna. How about we go and get some ice-cream to make you feel even better?" mom said.
+
+"Ice-cream? Really? Can I have chocolate, mom?" Anna asked.
+
+"Sure, you can have chocolate, and Ben can have vanilla, right, Ben?" mom said.
+
+Ben nodded and smiled. He liked vanilla ice-cream.
+
+"Yay, ice-cream, ice-cream!" Anna and Ben cheered.
+
+They followed mom to the ice-cream truck and got their cones. They licked and enjoyed their ice-cream.
+
+"Mom, this is the best ice-cream ever! Thank you, mom, you're so nice!" Anna said.
+
+"You're welcome, Anna. I love you, sweetie. And I have a surprise for you, too." mom said.
+
+"A surprise? What is it, mom?" Anna asked.
+
+Mom reached into her bag and pulled out a small toy. It was a pink unicorn with a rainbow mane and tail.
+
+"Look, Anna, this is for you. I know you love unicorns, so I got you this one. Do you like it?" mom said.
+
+Anna gasped and clapped her hands. She loved unicorns. They were her favorite animals.
+
+"Wow, mom, it's so pretty! I love it, I love it, I love it! Thank you, mom, you're the best mom ever!" Anna said.
+
+She hugged mom and the unicorn.
+
+"You're welcome, Anna. I'm happy you like it. You're the best daughter ever!" mom said.
+
+They hugged and smiled. Ben joined them and hugged them, too.
+
+They were a happy family. They had fun, ice-cream and surprises. They loved each other very much.
+Anna and Ben wanted to decorate the big tree in the yard. They had many things to hang on the branches: balls, stars, ribbons, and bells. They also had a big star for the top of the tree.
+
+"Let's make the tree look pretty and shiny," Anna said.
+
+"Yes, and let's make it sound nice too," Ben said.
+
+They worked hard to decorate the tree. They climbed on a ladder, reached for the branches, and tied the things with strings. They were happy and proud of their work.
+
+But then, the sky became gray and cold. Snowflakes started to fall from the clouds. They covered the ground, the roof, and the tree with white powder.
+
+"Look, the tree is wearing a coat!" Anna said.
+
+"It's so soft and cold," Ben said. He touched the powder with his hand and threw some at Anna.
+
+"Hey, that's not fair!" Anna said. She threw some back at Ben.
+
+They laughed and played with the powder. They made snowballs, snowmen, and snow angels. They had fun in the winter wonderland.
+
+Then, they heard a voice from the house.
+
+"Anna, Ben, come inside! It's time for hot chocolate and cookies!" their mom said.
+
+They ran to the house, leaving the tree behind. They were warm and cozy in the kitchen. They drank the hot chocolate and ate the cookies. They thanked their mom for being kind and caring.
+
+They looked out the window and saw the tree. It was still decorated and beautiful. It sparkled in the sun. It was their gift to the yard.
+Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play together. They had many toys, but their favorite was a train set. They liked to make the train go around the tracks and pretend they were on a big adventure.
+
+One day, their mom told them she had to go to the store and asked them to behave while she was gone. She said she would be back soon and bring them a surprise. Ben and Lily said yes and hugged their mom goodbye.
+
+But as soon as their mom left, they started to fight over the train set. Ben wanted to be the driver and Lily wanted to be the passenger. They pulled and pushed and shouted at each other. They did not behave at all.
+
+Suddenly, they heard a loud knock on the door. They stopped fighting and ran to see who it was. It was their dad, who had come home early from work. He had a big smile on his face and a bag in his hand.
+
+"Hi, kids, I have a surprise for you!" he said. "But first, tell me, how did you behave while mom was gone?"
+
+Ben and Lily looked at each other and felt ashamed. They knew they had been naughty and did not deserve a surprise. They hung their heads and said sorry.
+
+Their dad hugged them and said he loved them, but he was not happy with their behavior. He said they had to learn to share and be kind to each other. He said he had brought them a gift, but he also had something else for them.
+
+He opened the bag and took out two small boxes. He gave one to Ben and one to Lily. They opened them and saw what was inside. It was coal!
+
+"Coal?" they said in disbelief. "Why did you give us coal, dad?"
+
+Their dad said coal was for children who did not behave. He said he hoped they would do better next time. He said he was only joking and he had another surprise for them.
+
+He opened the bag again and took out two fluffy teddy bears. They were cute and soft and had bows around their necks. He gave one to Ben and one to Lily. They smiled and hugged their dad and their teddy bears.
+
+"Thank you, dad, we love you!" they said. "And we love each other, too!"
+
+They said they were sorry for fighting and promised to behave better. They asked their dad to play with them and their train set. He said yes and they all went to the living room. They had fun playing together and waiting for their mom to come back. They learned their lesson and never fought over the train set again.
+Tom was a wise cat. He liked to sleep in the sun and catch mice. He did not like to eat sugar, because it was bad for his teeth and his fur. He knew that sugar made him feel sick and tired.
+
+One day, Tom saw a big jar of sugar on the kitchen table. It was shiny and white and smelled sweet. Tom was curious. He jumped on the chair and then on the table. He put his paw in the jar and licked the sugar. It tasted good, but it was sticky and hard to get off.
+
+Tom heard a noise. It was his owner, Anna. She was coming back from the shop. Tom was scared. He knew he did something bad. He ran away from the table and hid under the bed. He hoped Anna would not see him.
+
+Anna saw the jar of sugar on the table. She saw the paw prints and the sugar on the floor. She knew it was Tom. She was angry. She looked for Tom and found him under the bed. She pulled him out and scolded him. She said, "Tom, you are a naughty cat. You should not eat sugar. It is not good for you. You could get sick. You have to go to the vet now."
+
+Tom felt sorry. He did not like the vet. He did not like the needle and the medicine. He wished he did not eat the sugar. He wished he was wise and slept in the sun instead. He learned his lesson. He never ate sugar again.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big white truck. The truck has many candy. The candy is for the store.
+
+"Wow, look at the candy!" Anna says. "I want some candy. Do you want some candy, Ben?"
+
+"Yes, I want some candy too," Ben says. "But we can't take the candy. The candy is not ours. The candy is for the store."
+
+Anna and Ben are sad. They love candy. They wish they had some candy. They look at the truck. The truck has a door. The door is open. The candy is inside.
+
+"Maybe we can take one candy," Anna says. "Just one candy. No one will see us. No one will know."
+
+Anna and Ben are curious. They walk to the truck. They look inside. They see many candy. They see red candy, yellow candy, green candy, blue candy. They see candy with nuts, candy with chocolate, candy with caramel. They see candy that is big, candy that is small, candy that is round, candy that is square.
+
+"Wow, so many candy!" Ben says. "Which candy do you want, Anna?"
+
+"I want the blue candy," Anna says. "The blue candy looks yummy. Which candy do you want, Ben?"
+
+"I want the red candy," Ben says. "The red candy looks sweet. Let's take the candy and run."
+
+Anna and Ben reach for the candy. They are happy. They are ready to take the candy and run. But then they hear a noise. They hear a loud noise. They hear a horn.
+
+"Honk! Honk! Honk!"
+
+Anna and Ben are scared. They turn around. They see a man. The man is angry. The man is the driver. The driver of the truck.
+
+"Hey, you kids!" the driver says. "What are you doing? Get away from my truck! Get away from my candy!"
+
+Anna and Ben are sorry. They drop the candy. They run away. They run back to the park. They are sad. They have no candy.
+
+"Sorry, Ben," Anna says. "We should not have taken the candy. The candy is not ours. The candy is for the store."
+
+"Sorry, Anna," Ben says. "We should have listened to you. We should have left the candy alone. The candy is not worth it."
+
+Anna and Ben hug. They are friends. They are still friends. They have no candy. But they have each other. They have saved each other. They are happy.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and hide behind the hedge. The hedge was big and green and had many birds and bugs living in it.
+
+One day, they heard a strange noise from the hedge. It sounded like a snore. They looked at each other and wondered what it was. They decided to peek behind the hedge and find out.
+
+They tiptoed to the hedge and moved some leaves. They saw something incredible. It was a big, furry, brown bear. The bear was sleeping under the hedge. He had a honey pot next to him and some bees buzzing around his nose.
+
+Lily and Ben gasped. They had never seen a bear before. They wanted to touch him, but they were also scared. They whispered to each other.
+
+"Lily, look at the bear. He is so big and soft. Do you think he is friendly?" Ben asked.
+
+"I don't know, Ben. He looks nice, but he might be angry if we wake him up. Maybe we should leave him alone." Lily said.
+
+They were about to go back to their game, when the bear opened his eyes. He saw Lily and Ben and smiled. He spoke to them in a deep voice.
+
+"Hello, little ones. Don't be afraid. I'm a friendly bear. I came here to have a nap and some honey. Do you want to join me?" He asked.
+
+Lily and Ben were surprised. They did not know bears could talk. They smiled back at the bear and nodded. They went closer to the hedge and sat next to him. They shared some honey and stories with the bear. They had a lot of fun.
+
+They became friends with the bear and visited him often. They learned many things from him and he learned many things from them. They had many incredible adventures together behind the hedge.
+Anna liked to help her mom prepare dinner. She would wash the carrots, tear the lettuce and stir the soup. She felt very proud when her mom said she was a good helper.
+
+One day, when Anna and her mom were busy in the kitchen, the doorbell rang. Anna ran to the door and opened it. She saw a man she did not know. He had a big bag and a smile.
+
+"Hello, little girl," he said. "I have a present for you. Do you want to see what's in my bag?"
+
+Anna felt curious, but also scared. She did not like strangers. She remembered what her mom had told her: never talk to strangers, never go with strangers, and always tell mom or dad if a stranger comes to the door.
+
+Anna shook her head and said, "No, thank you. I don't want your present. I don't know you. You are a stranger. Go away!"
+
+She slammed the door and ran back to the kitchen. She told her mom what had happened. Her mom hugged her and said, "You did the right thing, Anna. You are a very smart and brave girl. I'm so proud of you."
+
+They finished preparing dinner and waited for dad to come home. Anna felt happy and safe with her mom. She did not think about the stranger anymore.
+Lily liked to make jam with her mom. They picked berries from the garden and cooked them in a big pot. Then they poured the jam into jars and put lids on them. Lily helped her mom write labels for the jars. They wrote what kind of jam it was and when they made it.
+
+Lily wanted to share her jam with her friends. She asked her mom if she could take some jars to school. Her mom said yes, but she had to be careful not to break them. Lily put the jars in a basket and covered them with a cloth. She was very excited to give her jam to her friends.
+
+At school, Lily showed her jam to her teacher and her classmates. They all said it looked yummy and thanked her for being so kind. Lily gave each of them a jar and told them what kind of jam it was. She said they could spread it on bread or crackers or eat it with a spoon.
+
+But there was one boy who did not say thank you. His name was Ben and he was mean. He took the jar of jam from Lily and threw it on the floor. The jar broke and the jam spilled everywhere. Lily was very sad and angry. She cried and asked Ben why he did that.
+
+Ben laughed and said he did not like jam. He said jam was for babies and he only liked candy. He said Lily's labels were silly and he did not care what kind of jam it was. He said he wanted to make a mess and have fun.
+
+The teacher saw what Ben did and was very mad. She scolded Ben and made him clean up the jam. She said he had to apologize to Lily and the other kids. She said he had to learn to be kind and respectful. She said he had to stay in the classroom while the other kids went out to play.
+
+Lily felt better when Ben said he was sorry. She forgave him and gave him a hug. She said she hoped he would try her jam someday and maybe he would like it. She said she still had some jars left and she would share them with him. She said she was glad they were friends.
+
+The other kids clapped and cheered for Lily and Ben. They said Lily was very nice and generous. They said Ben was brave and honest. They said they all wanted to try Lily's jam and share it with each other. They said they were happy to be in the same class.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the soil and find worms and bugs. They had a big jar to keep their friends in.
+
+"Look, I found a big worm!" Lily said, holding it up.
+
+"Wow, let me see!" Tom said, reaching for it.
+
+"No, it's mine!" Lily said, pulling it away.
+
+"Please, share with me!" Tom said, trying to grab it.
+
+They started to fight over the worm. They did not see the big dog that came into the garden. The dog was angry and hungry. It saw the jar with the worms and bugs. It wanted to eat them.
+
+The dog ran towards the jar and knocked it over. The jar broke and the worms and bugs were released. They crawled and wriggled on the ground.
+
+Lily and Tom stopped fighting and saw the dog. They were scared. The dog was dangerous. It barked and growled at them.
+
+"Help, help!" Lily and Tom cried.
+
+But no one heard them. The dog bit them and hurt them. They cried and bled. The dog ate the worms and bugs and left.
+
+Lily and Tom were very sad and hurt. They wished they had not fought over the worm. They wished they had been nice to each other and their friends. They learned a hard lesson. The end.

+Tim and Lily were playing in the garden when they heard a loud noise. They ran to the gate and saw a big truck with many soldiers inside. The truck stopped in front of their house and the soldiers got out. They wore green clothes and had big guns and helmets.
+
+Tim and Lily were scared and hid behind the fence. They did not know why the soldiers were here. They hoped they would go away soon. But the soldiers did not go away. They knocked on the door and talked to Tim and Lily's mom. They sounded harsh and angry. They said they had to search the house and take some things.
+
+Tim and Lily's mom tried to stop them, but they pushed her aside. They went inside the house and started to look everywhere. They opened drawers and closets and threw things on the floor. They took some books and toys and food and put them in the truck. They did not care if they broke or ruined anything.
+
+Tim and Lily cried and hugged each other. They did not like the soldiers. They did not understand why they were so mean and rude. They wished they would leave and never come back. They missed their dad, who was also a soldier, but a good one. He had gone away to fight in a war and had not arrived home yet. They hoped he was safe and would return soon. They wanted him to hug them and tell them everything was going to be okay.
+One day, Lily and Ben wanted to play dress up. They found a big box of clothes in the closet. Lily picked a pink dress and a crown. Ben picked a yellow shirt and a hat. They looked very pretty and cool.
+
+But then they saw a lion costume in the box. It was brown and furry, with a long tail and a big mane. Lily and Ben both wanted to wear it. They started to pull and tug on the costume. They said, "It's mine! No, it's mine!"
+
+The lion costume ripped in half. Lily and Ben were very sad and mad. They threw the pieces on the floor. They did not want to play dress up anymore.
+
+But then they smelled something smelly. It was the lion costume. It had been in the box for a long time. It was dirty and old. It made their noses wrinkle and their eyes water.
+
+Lily and Ben looked at each other. They felt sorry for fighting. They said, "Sorry. I'm sorry." They hugged and made up. They decided to wear something else. They found a monkey costume and a zebra costume. They put them on and laughed. They looked very funny and cute.

+Lila and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys. They have a big box of toys on the floor. They take out some toys and make a game.
+
+"Look, I have a bike!" Lila says. She shows Ben a small bike with wheels and pedals. "I can ride it fast!"
+
+"Wow, that's cool!" Ben says. He sees a snake toy in the box. It is long and green and flexible. He picks it up and makes it move. "I have a snake! It can bend and twist!"
+
+Lila and Ben put their toys on the floor. They pretend the floor is a road and a jungle. Lila rides her bike on the road. She makes a sound like a motor. Ben moves his snake in the jungle. He makes a sound like a hiss.
+
+They have fun with their toys. They make up stories and laugh. They are happy to play together. They are good friends.
+Tom liked to sort his toys by color and shape. He had a lot of cars, trains, planes and boats. He put them in different boxes and made labels with pictures. He was very good at sorting.
+
+One day, he got a new toy from his grandma. It was a model of a rocket. It was enormous. It was bigger than his bed. It had red, white and blue parts. It had a lot of buttons and lights. Tom was very happy.
+
+He wanted to sort his model rocket with his other toys. But it was too big for any box. He tried to put it on the shelf, but it was too heavy. He tried to put it under the table, but it was too tall. He tried to put it in the closet, but it was too wide. He did not know where to put it.
+
+He asked his mom for help. She smiled and said, "Why don't you make a special place for your model rocket? You can put it in the corner of your room and decorate it with stars and planets. You can pretend you are an astronaut and go on adventures. It will be your own space station."
+
+Tom liked that idea. He thanked his mom and hugged his grandma. He moved his model rocket to the corner and found some stickers and posters. He made his space station look very nice.

+One day, they see a picture of a giraffe in a book. They are amazed by how tall and spotted it is. They want to know more about it.
+
+"Mom, can we study giraffes today?" Lily asks.

+
+"Wow, that's so cool! Can we see a giraffe in real life?" Ben asks.
+
+"Maybe one day, we can go to the zoo and see a giraffe. But for now, we can watch a video of giraffes on the computer. Come on, let's go to the living room." Mom says.
+
+Lily and Ben follow Mom to the living room. They sit on the couch and watch a video of giraffes on the computer. They see how the giraffes walk, run, eat, drink, and play. They hear how the giraffes make noises like cows and snort. They laugh and clap their hands.

+Tom and Lily were playing hide and seek in the big house. Tom was the seeker and Lily was the hider. Lily ran upstairs and looked for a good spot to hide. She saw a big window with a long curtain. She thought it would be a good place to hide behind the curtain. She ran to the window and pulled the curtain to cover herself.
+
+Tom counted to ten and then shouted, "Ready or not, here I come!" He searched the rooms downstairs, but he could not find Lily. He decided to go upstairs and look for her. He opened the door to the room with the big window. He saw the curtain moving a little bit. He thought Lily was hiding there. He walked to the window and said, "I found you, Lily!"
+
+But when he pulled the curtain, he did not see Lily. He saw a funny face looking at him. It was a clown! The clown had a big red nose, a colorful wig, and a wide smile. He said, "Hello, little boy! Do you want to play with me?" Tom was very scared. He did not like clowns. He screamed and ran away.
+
+Lily heard Tom scream and came out of her hiding spot. She was not behind the curtain. She was under the bed. She had twisted the curtain to make it look like someone was hiding there. She had seen the clown in the closet and thought it would be a funny prank to scare Tom. She laughed and said, "Got you, Tom! That was the best hide and seek ever!"
+
+Tom was not happy. He was angry and sad. He did not think it was funny. He thought it was mean. He said, "That was not funny, Lily! That was mean! You scared me with the clown! I hate clowns! I don't want to play with you anymore!" He ran downstairs and told their mom what happened.
+
+Mom was not happy either. She said, "Lily, that was not nice. You should not scare your brother with the clown. You should say sorry to him and put the clown back in the closet. The clown belongs to your uncle. He left it here when he visited us. He is a clown in the circus. He will come back to get it soon."
+
+Lily felt bad. She did not mean to hurt Tom. She just wanted to have fun. She said, "I'm sorry, Tom. I'm sorry, Mom. I will say sorry to the clown too. I will put him back in the closet. I will not scare you again." She hugged Tom and Mom and went to the closet. She said, "Sorry, clown. You are not scary. You are funny. But not today. Maybe another day." She put the clown in the closet and closed the door. She hoped her uncle would come back soon and take the clown away. She did not like the clown anymore. She liked Tom more.
+Lily and Max were playing in their room. They liked to draw pictures with crayons and put them in a folder. The folder was blue and had a sticker of a cat on it.
+
+One day, Lily wanted to draw a flower. She looked for a yellow crayon, but she could not find it. She saw Max holding a yellow crayon and drawing a sun. She asked him, "Can I have the yellow crayon, please?"
+
+Max said, "No, it is mine. I need it for my sun." He did not want to share.
+
+Lily felt angry. She said, "That is not fair. You have many crayons and I have none. Give me the yellow crayon now!"
+
+Max said, "No, go away. You are mean." He turned away from her.
+
+Lily was very angry. She grabbed the folder with their pictures and ran to the door. She said, "If you do not give me the crayon, I will tear the folder and throw it away!"
+
+Max said, "No, do not do that. Those are our pictures. We worked hard on them. Stop!"
+
+But Lily did not stop. She opened the folder and started to tear the pictures. She tore the sun, the cat, the house, the tree, and the flower. She threw the pieces on the floor.
+
+Max cried. He said, "Why did you do that? You are so mean. You ruined our pictures. I hate you!"
+
+Lily felt sorry. She saw the tears in Max's eyes and the mess on the floor. She said, "I am sorry, Max. I was angry and I did a bad thing. I should not have torn the folder. I do not hate you. I love you. Can you forgive me?"
+
+Max looked at her. He said, "I am sorry, too. I was selfish and I did not share. I should have given you the yellow crayon. I do not hate you. I love you. I forgive you."
+
+They hugged each other. They said, "We are sorry. We love you."
+
+They picked up the pieces of the pictures and tried to put them back together. They used tape and glue and stickers. They made a new folder. The folder was dark and had many colors on it. It was not as pretty as the blue folder, but it was special. It was a folder of love.
+Tom and Mia were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a huge slide that looked very fun. Tom wanted to go on the slide, but Mia was scared.
+
+"Come on, Mia, let's go on the slide. It's not scary, it's fun!" Tom said.
+
+"No, Tom, I don't want to. It's too high and too fast. I want to play on the swings." Mia said.
+
+"Fine, then I'll go on the slide by myself. You can stay on the swings and be boring." Tom said. He ran to the slide and climbed up the ladder.
+
+Mia watched Tom go on the slide. She felt sad and lonely. She wished Tom would play with her. She decided to try the slide too. She walked to the slide and looked up. It was very high and very fast. She was scared, but she wanted to be brave. She climbed up the ladder slowly.
+
+Tom saw Mia coming up the slide. He was surprised and happy. He waited for her at the top.
+
+"Hi, Mia, you made it! Are you ready to go on the slide?" Tom said.
+
+"Hi, Tom, I'm here. I'm a little scared, but I want to try." Mia said.
+
+"Good for you, Mia. Don't worry, I'll go with you. We can hold hands and go together." Tom said.
+
+"Okay, Tom, thank you. You're a good friend." Mia said.
+
+They held hands and slid down the slide. They felt the wind in their hair and the sun on their faces. They laughed and screamed with joy. They reached the bottom and hugged each other.
+
+"That was fun, Tom. I'm glad I tried it." Mia said.
+
+"Me too, Mia. I'm proud of you. You're very brave." Tom said.
+
+They smiled and ran to the swings. They played together and had a lot of fun. They learned that it's good to try new things and to help each other.
+
+The end.
+Tim and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big box near the slide. They run to the box and open it. Inside, they find a trumpet.
+
+"Wow, a trumpet!" Tim says. "I want to play it!"
+
+"No, I want to play it!" Sam says. They both grab the trumpet and pull hard. The trumpet breaks in two.
+
+"Oh no, the trumpet is broken!" Tim says. "Now we can't play it!"
+
+"That's stupid!" Sam says. "Why did you pull so hard?"
+
+"Why did you pull so hard?" Tim says. They are both angry and sad.
+
+Then, they hear a voice. "Hey, kids, that's my trumpet!" A man comes to the box. He is wearing a funny hat and a red nose. He is a clown.
+
+"Sorry, mister, we didn't know it was your trumpet," Tim says.
+
+"We just wanted to play it," Sam says.
+
+The clown looks at the broken trumpet. He smiles. "Don't worry, kids, it's not a real trumpet. It's a joke trumpet. It breaks on purpose. Watch this." He puts the two pieces together and blows. The trumpet makes a loud noise and a flag pops out.
+
+Tim and Sam laugh. "That's funny!" they say.
+
+The clown laughs too. "Do you want to play with me?" he asks. "I have more jokes and toys in my box."
+
+"Yes, please!" Tim and Sam say. They follow the clown to his box. They play with balloons, balls, and hats. They have fun.
+
+The clown teaches them how to catch balls and make funny faces. He also teaches them how to say sorry and share. Tim and Sam learn to be nice to each other. They are happy. They thank the clown for his jokes and toys.
+
+The clown says, "You're welcome, kids. You are good friends. Remember, playing is fun, but breaking is not. And don't call each other stupid. That's not nice."
+
+Tim and Sam nod. They hug the clown and say goodbye. They go back to the slide and play together. They share the joke trumpet and make each other laugh. They are friends.
+Sam and Mia were playing in the garden. They liked to dig holes and find worms. Sam was very enthusiastic. He wanted to see how many worms he could find.
+
+"Look, Mia, I found a big one!" he shouted, holding up a long, slimy worm.
+
+"Wow, Sam, that's a great worm!" Mia said. "But don't eat it, it's yucky!"
+
+Sam laughed. He didn't want to eat the worm. He wanted to put it in the drain. He thought the worm would like to live there.
+
+He ran to the drain and dropped the worm inside. He heard a splash.
+
+"Bye bye, worm!" he said.
+
+But then he heard a loud noise. It was a gurgle. The drain was making a gurgle.
+
+"What's that?" Mia asked, running to Sam.
+
+"I don't know," Sam said. "Maybe the drain is hungry. Maybe it wants to eat the worm."
+
+They looked at the drain. It was making more gurgles. They saw bubbles coming out.
+
+"Uh oh," Sam said. "I think the drain is eating the worm. And it likes it!"
+
+They heard a slurp. The drain was quiet.
+
+"Wow," Mia said. "The drain is very enthusiastic. It ate the whole worm!"
+
+Sam and Mia smiled. They thought the drain was happy. They decided to find more worms for the drain. They liked to make the drain enthusiastic.
+Lily and Ben were rabbits who lived in a big garden. They liked to hop and play and eat carrots. One day, they saw a big, shiny car stop near the fence. A man got out and opened the trunk. He took out a big bag of carrots and put it on the ground.
+
+"Wow, look at those carrots!" Lily said. "They are so big and orange and brilliant!"
+
+"Let's go and get some!" Ben said. "They look yummy!"
+
+They ran towards the fence, but then they heard a loud bark. A big, black dog jumped out of the car and ran after them.
+
+"Run, Lily, run!" Ben shouted. "The dog is angry!"
+
+Lily and Ben turned around and ran back to their hole. They were scared and out of breath. The dog chased them, but he could not fit in the hole. He barked and scratched at the dirt, but he could not reach them.
+
+"Stay, boy, stay!" the man said. He came and grabbed the dog by the collar. He put him back in the car and closed the door. He picked up the bag of carrots and walked away.
+
+Lily and Ben peeked out of the hole. They saw the car drive away. They were safe, but they were sad. They had no carrots.
+
+"Maybe we can find some other carrots in the garden," Lily said.
+
+"Maybe," Ben said. "But they won't be as brilliant as those ones."
+Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big tree with a tall trunk. They wanted to climb the tree and see the birds.
+
+"Come on, Lily, let's go up!" Tom said.
+
+"OK, Tom, but be careful!" Lily said.
+
+They climbed the tree and reached a branch. They saw a nest with three eggs. They were blue and speckled.
+
+"Wow, look at the eggs!" Tom said. "They are so pretty!"
+
+"Yes, they are!" Lily said. "But we should not touch them. They belong to the birds."
+
+Suddenly, they heard a loud noise. It was a big truck. It came to the park and stopped near the tree. A man got out of the truck. He had a saw and a rope.
+
+"What is he doing?" Tom asked.
+
+"I don't know, but it looks bad!" Lily said.
+
+The man started to cut the tree with the saw. The tree shook and the branch cracked.
+
+"Help! Help!" Tom and Lily shouted.
+
+The man did not hear them. He kept cutting the tree. The branch broke and Tom and Lily fell.
+
+But they did not hit the ground. They landed on something soft and furry. It was a bear. The bear had seen the man and the truck. He had run to the park to rescue the tree and the birds. He had caught Tom and Lily with his back.
+
+"Thank you, bear!" Tom and Lily said.
+
+The bear nodded and growled. He carried them to a safe place. He put them down and licked their faces.
+
+"You are welcome, kids!" the bear said. "But you should not climb trees that are in danger. It is not safe."
+
+"We are sorry, bear!" Tom and Lily said. "We did not know. We just wanted to see the birds."
+
+The bear smiled and hugged them. He showed them the way back to their parents. He waved goodbye and went back to the forest.
+
+Tom and Lily ran to their parents and told them what happened. Their parents were scared and happy. They thanked the bear and the park ranger who had stopped the man and the truck. They learned that the tree and the birds were protected and that the man was a bad guy who wanted to cut them down. They were glad that the bear had rescued them and the tree. They promised to never climb trees that were in danger again. They also promised to be friends with the bear and the birds. They went home and drew pictures of their adventure. They had a lot of fun.
+Tom and Lily were having lunch with their mom and dad. They liked to eat soup and bread and cheese. Mom said they had to eat fast because they had to go to the park soon.
+
+But then, something bad happened. The floor and the walls started to shake. The soup spilled on the table. The bread and cheese fell on the floor. The cups and plates broke into pieces. It was an earthquake!
+
+Tom and Lily were scared. They hugged their mom and dad. Mom and dad said it was OK. They said they had to go outside and be safe. They took their coats and hats and ran to the door.
+
+Outside, they saw many people and cars and buildings. Some people were crying. Some cars were smashed. Some buildings were cracked. The earthquake was very big and loud.
+
+Tom and Lily felt sorry for the people and the cars and the buildings. They also felt embarrassed. They had soup and bread and cheese on their clothes. They looked messy and dirty. They wanted to go home and change.
+
+Mom and dad said they were proud of them. They said they were brave and strong. They said they did not care about the soup and the bread and the cheese. They said they only cared about them. They hugged them and kissed them. They said they loved them. They said they would go home and clean up and have a new lunch. They said they would go to the park another day. Tom and Lily smiled. They loved their mom and dad. They felt happy and safe.
+Lily and Ben are playing with blocks. They want to make a big tower with many colors. Lily puts a red block on the floor. Ben puts a blue block on top of it. They take turns to add more blocks.
+
+"Look, our tower is so high!" Lily says.
+
+"Yes, it is very pretty!" Ben says.
+
+They find a yellow block and a green block. They want to put them on the tower too. But the tower is already wobbly. They have to balance the blocks carefully.
+
+Lily tries to put the yellow block on the tower. But she pushes too hard. The tower falls down with a loud crash. The blocks scatter everywhere.
+
+"Oh no!" Lily cries.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily. I made the tower fall." Ben says.
+
+He feels sad. He wants to make Lily happy again.
+
+"It's okay, Ben. We can make another tower." Lily says.
+
+She smiles. She is not angry with Ben. She knows he is helpful and kind.
+
+They pick up the blocks and start again. They make a new tower with many colors. They balance the blocks gently. They are happy and proud of their tower. They hug each other.
+
+"We did it!" they say.
+Ben and Lily were playing with their new cars in the garden. They liked to make noises and pretend they were racing. They had a big wreck with their cars and laughed.
+
+"Look, Ben, it's snowing!" Lily said, pointing at the sky. She saw white flakes falling down.
+
+"Wow, snow!" Ben said. He liked snow. He wanted to make a snowman and throw snowballs.
+
+They ran inside to get their coats and hats. They put them on and went back to the garden. They saw their cars covered with snow.
+
+"Oh no, our cars are frozen!" Lily said. She tried to pick up her car, but it was stuck to the ground.
+
+"Let's melt them!" Ben said. He ran to the house and got a bucket of warm water. He poured some water on his car and it came loose.
+
+"Here, Lily, you try!" He said, giving her the bucket. She poured some water on her car and it came loose too.
+
+"Yay, we saved our cars!" Lily said. She hugged her car.
+
+"Let's play with them inside, it's too cold out here!" Ben said. He picked up his car and ran to the house.
+
+"Okay, let's go!" Lily said. She picked up her car and followed him.
+
+They played with their cars in the living room, where it was warm and cozy. They were happy.
+Sara and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and look for bugs. Sara found a big worm and showed it to Ben. Ben was scared of the worm and ran away.
+
+"Ben, come back! It is just a worm. It is not bad. It is fun to play with," Sara said.
+
+But Ben did not listen. He ran into the house and slammed the door. Sara was sad. She put the worm back in the dirt and followed Ben.
+
+She knocked on the door and said, "Ben, please open the door. I want to play with you. I am sorry I scared you with the worm."
+
+Ben did not answer. He was hiding under the bed. He had a cloth with him. He liked to cuddle with the cloth. It made him feel safe.
+
+Sara heard a noise from the kitchen. She went to see what it was. She saw a big dog. The dog was barking and jumping. It had knocked over a chair and a vase. It was looking for food.
+
+Sara was scared of the dog. She ran back to the door and said, "Ben, please open the door. There is a big dog in the kitchen. It is bad. It is not fun to play with."
+
+Ben heard Sara's voice. He heard the dog's bark. He felt sorry for Sara. He crawled out from under the bed and opened the door. He saw Sara's face. She was crying.
+
+"Ben, thank you for opening the door. I am so happy to see you. Can I hug you?" Sara said.
+
+Ben nodded. He hugged Sara. He gave her his cloth. He said, "Sara, I am sorry I ran away. I was scared of the worm. But you are my friend. I want to play with you. Here, you can have my cloth. It will make you feel safe."
+
+Sara smiled. She took the cloth. She said, "Ben, you are my friend too. I am sorry I scared you with the worm. But you are brave. You opened the door. Here, you can have the worm. It will make you feel fun."
+
+Ben shook his head. He said, "No, thank you. I do not like the worm. But I like you. And I like the cloth. Can we share it?"
+
+Sara nodded. She said, "Yes, we can share it. And we can share the garden. But not the kitchen. The kitchen is for the dog."
+
+They laughed. They held the cloth. They ran out of the house. They played in the garden. They were happy. They were safe.
+Lily was a new girl at the park. She felt shy and did not know how to make friends. She saw a big slide and wanted to try it, but there were many kids waiting in line.
+
+She saw a boy with a red hat and a big smile. He was playing with a ball near the slide. He looked friendly and fun. Lily walked up to him and said, "Hi, I am Lily. Can I play with you?"
+
+The boy nodded and said, "Hi, I am Ben. Sure, you can play with me. Do you like the slide?"
+
+Lily nodded and said, "Yes, I like the slide. But there are too many kids. Can we wait together?"
+
+Ben nodded and said, "Yes, we can wait together. Do you want to share my ball?"
+
+Lily smiled and said, "Yes, thank you. You are very nice."
+
+Ben smiled and said, "You are very nice too. And honest. I like honest friends."
+
+They played with the ball and talked until it was their turn to go on the slide. They climbed up the ladder and sat on the slide. They held hands and slid down together. They laughed and had fun.
+
+They became good friends and played at the park every day. They introduced each other to their other friends and shared their toys and snacks. They were happy and honest friends.
+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. The park has a big slide, a swing, and a sandbox. But Tom and Mia's favorite place is the jungle. The jungle is not a real jungle. It is a big pile of leaves and sticks that they make. They pretend it is a jungle with animals and adventures.
+
+One day, Tom and Mia are playing in the jungle. They hear a loud noise. It is a dog. The dog is big and black. It runs to the jungle and barks. Tom and Mia are scared. They do not like the dog. They want to hide.
+
+"Quick, Mia, hide!" Tom says. He grabs Mia's hand and runs to a hole in the jungle. The hole is small and dark. But it is flexible. It can stretch and bend. Tom and Mia squeeze inside. They are safe.
+
+The dog comes to the jungle. It sniffs and paws at the leaves and sticks. It does not see Tom and Mia. It does not smell them. It is confused. It barks again and again.
+
+"Shh, Mia, be quiet!" Tom whispers. He holds Mia's hand. He hopes the dog will go away.
+
+Mia nods. She is quiet. She is brave. She looks at Tom. She smiles. She likes Tom. She likes the jungle. She likes to hide.
+Lily and Tom were very happy. It was their birthday and they had a big cake and many balloons. Mom and Dad gave them a big present each. Lily opened hers and saw a pretty doll with long hair and a pink dress. She hugged the doll and said, "Thank you, Mom and Dad! I love her!"
+
+Tom opened his present and saw a big truck with big wheels and a loud horn. He smiled and said, "Thank you, Mom and Dad! I love it!" He pushed the truck on the floor and made it go vroom vroom.
+
+After the cake, Mom and Dad said, "We have one more surprise for you. We are going to the pool!" Lily and Tom cheered and put on their swimsuits and hats. They got in the car and drove to the pool. The pool was big and blue and had a slide and a diving board.
+
+Lily and Tom ran to the slide and took turns sliding down into the water. They splashed and laughed and had fun. Then they saw the diving board. Tom said, "I want to try that!" He climbed up the ladder and walked to the edge of the board. He looked down and saw the water. He felt scared. He said, "Maybe I don't want to try that."
+
+Lily saw Tom and said, "Don't be scared, Tom. I will go with you." She climbed up the ladder and joined Tom on the board. She held his hand and said, "We can do it together. On the count of three, we will dive. One, two, three!" Lily and Tom jumped off the board and dove into the water. They felt a big splash and then came up to the surface. They smiled and said, "That was fun!"
+
+Mom and Dad clapped and said, "Well done, Lily and Tom! You are very brave!" They hugged them and said, "We are very proud of you. Happy birthday, Lily and Tom!" Lily and Tom said, "Thank you, Mom and Dad! This is the best birthday ever!"
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play with shapes. Anna has a circle, Ben has a triangle. They put their shapes on the floor and clap their hands.
+
+"Look, Anna, my triangle has three sides!" Ben says.
+
+"Wow, Ben, your triangle is cool!" Anna says. "My circle has no sides. It is round."
+
+They clap some more. They are happy.
+
+But then, a big boy comes. He is mean. He sees Anna and Ben and their shapes. He wants to play too. But he does not ask. He grabs Ben's triangle and runs away.
+
+"Hey, give it back!" Ben shouts. He runs after the big boy.
+
+Anna is scared. She holds her circle tight. She hopes Ben will come back soon.
+
+But the big boy is faster. He runs to the street. He does not look. He does not stop. A car is coming. It is fast. It is loud. It is harsh.
+
+The car hits the big boy. He falls down. He drops the triangle. It breaks. The big boy does not move. He does not clap. He does not talk.
+
+Ben stops. He sees the big boy. He sees the triangle. He is sad. He is angry. He cries.
+
+Anna runs to Ben. She hugs him. She cries too. She does not like the big boy. She does not like the car. She does not like the street.
+
+They wish they could play with shapes again. But they can't. The triangle is gone. The big boy is gone. The game is over.
+Tom and Ben were best friends. They liked to play with toy soldiers and pretend they were in a big war. They had a lot of fun making noises and shooting at each other.
+
+One day, Tom said to Ben, "I want to be a real soldier when I grow up. I want to have a big gun and a uniform and fight the bad guys."
+
+Ben said, "Me too. But I heard that being a soldier is very hard and scary. You have to go far away and sometimes you get hurt or lose your friends."
+
+Tom said, "That's okay. I'm not afraid of anything. I'm brave and strong and smart. I can do anything I want."
+
+Ben said, "I hope so. But I also hope you don't forget me. You're my best friend and I don't want to lose you."
+
+Tom said, "Don't worry. I'll always be your friend. And when I come back from the war, I'll tell you all the stories and show you all the medals I get."
+
+They hugged and smiled and went back to playing.
+
+Many years later, Tom became a real soldier. He had a big gun and a uniform and fought the bad guys. But he also saw a lot of terrible things. He saw people die and cry and bleed. He saw buildings burn and explode. He saw his friends get hurt or lose their lives. He felt pain and fear and anger. He forgot how to have fun and smile.
+
+One day, he got a letter from Ben. Ben said he missed him and wanted to see him. He said he was proud of him and hoped he was okay. He said he still had his toy soldiers and remembered their games.
+
+Tom read the letter and felt a tear roll down his cheek. He wished he could go back to those days. He wished he could see Ben and hug him and tell him he was sorry. He wished he could be a child again.
+One day, a car was very sad. It could not go fast or make happy noises. It had a big problem in its engine. The car's owner was sad too. He wanted to go to work and to the park with his family.
+
+He called a mechanic. A mechanic is a person who can fix cars. The mechanic came in a big truck. He looked at the car and said, "Don't worry, I can help you. I am an intelligent mechanic. I know how to make cars happy again."
+
+He opened the car's hood and used his tools. He worked hard and fast. He fixed the problem in the engine. He closed the hood and said, "There, you are done. Now you can go fast and make happy noises again."
+
+The car was very happy. It started to go fast and make happy noises. It thanked the mechanic. It said, "Thank you, thank you, thank you! You are an intelligent mechanic. You made me happy again."
+
+The car's owner was happy too. He thanked the mechanic. He said, "Thank you, thank you, thank you! You are an intelligent mechanic. You saved my car and my day."
+
+He paid the mechanic and drove away with his family. They went to work and to the park. They had a lot of fun. The car was happy too. It thanked the mechanic again in its heart.
+Anna and Ben were playing in the garden. They had a lot of fun with their toys and their dog. They made a big castle with sand and stones. They pretended to be a king and a queen.
+
+"Look at our castle, Ben. It is so beautiful!" Anna said.
+
+"Yes, it is. And we have a lot of cookies to eat inside. Do you want one?" Ben said.
+
+"Yes, please. I love cookies. They are yummy and sweet." Anna said.
+
+They ran to the castle and opened the door. But they saw something that made them stop. Their dog had followed them and had eaten all the cookies. There were only crumbs left on the plate.
+
+"Bad dog! You ate our cookies!" Anna said.
+
+"Go away, dog! You are not our friend!" Ben said.
+
+The dog looked sad and guilty. He wagged his tail and licked their faces. He wanted to say sorry.
+
+Anna and Ben felt sorry for the dog too. He did not know that the cookies were for them. He was hungry and curious.
+
+"It's okay, dog. We forgive you. You are still our friend." Anna said.
+
+"Yes, we do. But next time, ask us before you eat our cookies." Ben said.
+
+They hugged the dog and gave him a pat. They decided to share the crumbs with him. They were not very hungry anymore. They were happy and tired.
+
+They went inside the castle and lay down on a soft blanket. They cuddled with the dog and closed their eyes. They settled down for a nap. They dreamed of more cookies and more adventures.
+Sam and Lily are friends. They like to play with their toys in the park. But one day, Sam is sick. He has to stay at home with his mom. He cannot go to the park with Lily.
+
+Lily is sad. She misses Sam. She does not have anyone to play with. She takes her blue ball and goes to the park by herself. She sees a big dog. The dog is smelly. It barks at Lily. Lily is scared. She runs away from the dog.
+
+She sees Sam's mom on the way. She says, "Hello, Mrs. Lee. How is Sam? I miss him."
+
+Mrs. Lee smiles. She says, "Hello, Lily. Sam is feeling better. He misses you too. He wants to play with you. Do you want to come and see him?"
+
+Lily nods. She says, "Yes, please. I want to see Sam. Can I bring my blue ball?"
+
+Mrs. Lee says, "Of course. Sam would love that. Come on, let's go."
+
+Lily follows Mrs. Lee. She is happy. She does not care about the smelly dog anymore. She only cares about seeing Sam. She hopes he will like her blue ball. She thinks Sam is the best friend ever.
+Lily and Max were playing with blocks in their room. They wanted to make a big stack of blocks, as high as they could. Lily took a blue block and put it on top of a red block. Max took a yellow block and put it on top of a green block. They kept adding more blocks to their stack.
+
+"Look, our stack is so tall!" Lily said. "It is taller than my teddy bear!"
+
+Max nodded. "It is taller than my truck!" he said. "Let's make it taller than the lamp!"
+
+They reached for more blocks, but they were running out of blocks. They looked around the room and saw that there were no more blocks left. They had used all the blocks they had.
+
+"Oh no, we have no more blocks!" Lily said. "How can we make our stack taller?"
+
+Max frowned. "I don't know," he said. "Maybe we can use something else."
+
+He looked around the room and saw a book on the shelf. He got up and took the book. He tried to put it on top of the stack of blocks, but it was too big and heavy. The stack of blocks wobbled and fell down with a loud crash.
+
+"Max, what did you do?" Lily cried. "You made our stack fall down!"
+
+Max dropped the book and looked at the mess. He felt sad and sorry. "I'm sorry, Lily," he said. "I wanted to make our stack taller, but the book was too difficult to put on."
+
+Lily sighed. She was angry and disappointed. She wanted to complain, but she saw that Max was sad too. She decided to be nice and forgive him.
+
+"It's okay, Max," she said. "We can make another stack. But this time, let's only use blocks, okay?"
+
+Max nodded. He smiled and hugged Lily. "Okay, Lily," he said. "Let's make another stack. But this time, let's make it the tallest stack ever!"
+Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big castle made of sand. They wanted to go inside and pretend to be a king and a queen.
+
+"Wow, look at the castle!" Ben said. "Let's go in and have fun!"
+
+"OK, but be careful. It might fall down," Lily said.
+
+They ran to the castle and crawled through a hole. Inside, they saw many rooms and towers. They found some sticks and shells and made crowns and jewels.
+
+"I am the king of the castle!" Ben said. "And you are the queen!"
+
+"I am the queen of the castle!" Lily said. "And you are the king!"
+
+They laughed and played for a long time. They did not see the big dog that came to the park. The dog was hairy and brown. He smelled the sand and the children. He wanted to play too.
+
+He ran to the castle and barked. He dug with his paws and made the sand fly. He made a big hole in the wall.
+
+Ben and Lily heard the noise and the barking. They looked out and saw the dog. They were scared. They did not like the dog. He was too big and too loud.
+
+"Help! Help!" Ben shouted. "There is a dog! He is breaking the castle!"
+
+"Panic! Panic!" Lily cried. "We have to get out! He might bite us!"
+
+They dropped their sticks and shells and ran to the hole. They crawled out and ran away from the castle. They ran to their mom and dad, who were sitting on a bench.
+
+"Mom! Dad! There was a big hairy dog! He ruined our castle!" Ben said.
+
+"He was scary and mean! He wanted to eat us!" Lily said.
+
+Their mom and dad hugged them and calmed them down.
+
+"It's OK, sweeties. The dog was just curious. He did not mean to scare you. He was just playing too," their mom said.
+
+"Maybe he thought you were his friends. He did not know you were afraid of him," their dad said.
+
+They gave them some juice and cookies and told them they were brave.
+
+"Maybe next time, you can make a smaller castle. Or you can play with something else. There are many things to do in the park," their mom said.
+
+"Or maybe you can make friends with the dog. He might be nice if you are nice to him. You can pet him and give him a treat," their dad said.
+
+Ben and Lily nodded. They felt better. They still liked castles, but they did not like hairy dogs. They decided to play with the swings and the slide instead. They had fun in the park.
+Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play pretend and dress up. One day, they decided to put on a show for their moms and dads. They found a big box and made it into a stage. They used crayons and paper to make signs and tickets.
+
+Lily wanted to be a princess. She wore a pink dress and a crown. She had a wand and a necklace. Ben wanted to be a dragon. He wore a green shirt and a tail. He had a mask and a horn. They discussed what their show would be about. They agreed that the princess would be lost in the forest and the dragon would help her find her way home.
+
+They practiced their show many times. They learned their lines and their moves. They were very excited. They invited their moms and dads to watch their show. They gave them tickets and signs. They asked them to sit on the couch and be quiet.
+
+The show began. Lily and Ben came out on the stage. Lily said, "Hello, I am the princess. I am lost in the forest. I am scared and sad. Who will help me?" Ben said, "Hello, I am the dragon. I live in the forest. I am friendly and kind. I will help you." They acted out their story. They walked and talked and sang and danced.
+
+The moms and dads watched and clapped. They were very proud of Lily and Ben. They thought their show was wonderful. They cheered and hugged them. They gave them flowers and cookies. Lily and Ben were very happy. They had fun and did a great job. They thanked their moms and dads for coming. They said, "We hope you liked our show. We love you very much." The end.
+One day, a prince came to visit a farm. He wanted to see the animals and the crops. But he was very rude to the farmer and his family. He complained about everything. He said the cows were too loud, the chickens were too dirty, the apples were too small, and the bread was too hard. He did not say thank you or please to anyone.
+
+The farmer and his family were very sad and angry. They worked hard to take care of their farm and to welcome the prince. They did not like how he treated them. They wanted him to go away.
+
+The next day, the prince wanted to ride a horse. The farmer gave him his best horse, a big and strong one. But the prince did not know how to ride a horse. He pulled the horse's mane, he kicked the horse's sides, he shouted at the horse. The horse did not like that. The horse ran very fast and threw the prince off his back. The prince fell on the ground and hurt his arm.
+
+The farmer and his family ran to help the prince. They cleaned his wound and gave him some water. They were kind to him, even though he was rude to them. The prince felt ashamed. He realized he was wrong. He said sorry to the farmer and his family. He said sorry to the horse. He said he would be nicer and more grateful from now on.
+
+The farmer and his family forgave the prince. They taught him how to ride a horse gently and how to feed the animals and pick the apples. The prince learned a lot and had fun. He became friends with the farmer and his family. He thanked them for their hospitality and their lesson. He went back to his castle a better person.

+
+Lily heard Ben's cry for help. She ran to the fence and saw him. She felt sorry for him, but also angry. She had told him not to follow the dog, but he had not listened to her. She wanted to help him, but she did not know how.

+
+Lily got on her bike and pushed it to the top of the hill. She felt happy and brave. She looked down and saw the road. It was long and smooth. She rang her bell and started to pedal. She felt the wind in her hair and the sun on her face. She made her bike speed faster and faster.
+
+She was having so much fun that she did not see the big rock in the middle of the road. She hit it with her front wheel and lost her balance. She flew off her bike and landed on the grass. She felt a sharp pain in her knee and a bump on her head. She started to cry.
+
+Her mom heard her cry and ran to her. She hugged her and checked her for injuries. She saw that her knee was bleeding and her helmet had a crack.

+
+Grandma listened and understood. She smiled and wiped Lila's tears.
+
+"It's okay, my dear. You didn't mean to upset the cows. They are not used to your flute. They are used to the farmer's whistle. Your flute is very ancient and very special. It can make many sounds and feelings. But you have to be careful where you play it. Some places are not safe or friendly. You have to respect the signs and the animals. Do you understand?" she said.
+
+Lila nodded and hugged her grandma.
+
+"I understand, grandma. I'm sorry. Can we get my flute back?" she asked.
+
+"Of course, my dear. Let's go together. But first, let's make some cookies. I think you need a treat. And maybe the cows too. Maybe they will like your flute better if you share some cookies with them. What do you think?" she said.

+
+"I think so, grandma. Thank you. I love you and I love my flute." she said.

+
+A bird sees them. The bird flies to them and says, "Why do you quarrel? The stick is not useful. It is just a stick. You can find many sticks in the park. You can share the stick or play with something else." Anna and Ben look at the bird. They feel silly. They say, "You are right. The stick is not useful. It is just a stick. We can find many sticks in the park. We can share the stick or play with something else."
+
+They thank the bird. The bird says, "You are welcome. I am glad you are friends again. I have to go now. I am flying to the west. There is a big tree there. It is useful. I can make a nest or a perch." Anna and Ben wave to the bird. They say, "Bye, bird. Have a good flight. The west is far. The tree is useful. You can make a nest or a perch." They smile at each other.

+
+"Can we play with the ball at home?" Ben asked.

+Ben catches up with Lily. He sees the new car in the mud. He feels sad and angry. He says, "Lily, why did you take my new car? Why did you break it? You are not honest. You are not a good friend."
+
+Lily looks at Ben. She sees his tears. She feels bad. She says, "Ben, I am sorry. I was wrong. I should not have taken your new car. I should have asked you nicely. I should have been honest. I should have been a good friend."
+
+Ben looks at Lily. He sees her tears. He feels bad. He says, "Lily, I am sorry. I was mean. I should have shared my new car with you. I should have let you play with it. I should have been honest. I should have been a good friend."

+
+Tom looked at the lady and her gloves. He thought they were too much. He liked his gloves better. They were warm and soft and had cars. He said, "Her gloves are not pretty. They are expensive. And they are not good for playing. They are only good for sitting."
+
+Lily frowned. She did not agree with Tom. She thought the lady's gloves were good for everything. She said, "No, Tom, no. Her gloves are pretty and expensive and good. I want gloves like hers. Can I have them, please?"
+
+Tom shook his head. He did not want to give his gloves to Lily. He said, "No, Lily, no. You cannot have her gloves. They are hers, not yours. And you have your own gloves. They are pink and have flowers. They are nice."
+
+Lily and Tom argued. They did not listen to each other. They did not notice the lady. The lady heard them and smiled. She got up from the bench and walked to them. She said, "Hello, children. I heard you talking about my gloves. Do you like them?"
+
+Lily and Tom stopped arguing. They looked at the lady and her gloves. They were surprised. They said, "Yes, we like them. But we do not agree. He thinks they are not pretty. I think they are pretty. He thinks they are not good for playing. I think they are good for everything."
+
+The lady laughed. She said, "Well, everyone has their own opinion. And that is okay. But you know what? I think you are both right. My gloves are pretty and expensive. But they are also not good for playing. They are only good for sitting. And your gloves are nice and warm. And they are good for playing. And you know what else? I think you are both very sweet. And I have a gift for you."
+
+The lady opened her bag and took out two small boxes. She gave one to Lily and one to Tom. She said, "These are for you. They are not gloves, but they are something else. They are something you can wear and play with. They are something you can share and enjoy. They are something I made for you. Open them and see."
+
+Lily and Tom opened the boxes. They gasped. Inside each box was a bracelet. Lily's bracelet had pink beads and a flower charm. Tom's bracelet had blue beads and a car charm. They were beautiful and fun. They said, "Wow! Thank you, lady! Thank you for the bracelets! They are so pretty and good!"

+
+"Oh, I see." Anna says.
+
+They go to a big room where there are many seats and windows. They look for their number on a board. They find it and go to a window. They see a big plane with wings and wheels.
+
+"Wow, look at that!" Ben says.
+
+"That is our plane. We are going to fly in the sky!" Mom says.
+
+"Really? How?" Anna asks.
+
+"You will see. Come on, let's go!" Dad says.

+They go to a door where another lady takes their tickets and tells them to go inside the plane. They walk through a tunnel and enter the plane. They find their seats and buckle their belts. They are ready to go.
+
+Anna and Ben are going on a big trip with Mom and Dad. They are very happy and excited. They are lucky.
+Ben and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and look for bugs. They had a bucket to put the bugs in and a shovel to dig with.
+
+"Look, Lily, I found a worm!" Ben said, holding up a long, slimy thing. "It's so wiggly and funny!"
+
+"Let me see!" Lily said, reaching for the worm. But Ben pulled it away. "No, it's mine! I found it first!"
+
+Lily was angry. She wanted to see the worm too. She grabbed the shovel and hit the bucket. The bucket fell over and all the bugs came out. Some of them crawled on Ben and Lily.
+
+"Ahh! Get them off me!" Ben screamed. He dropped the worm and ran away. He was scared of the bugs.
+
+Lily saw the worm on the ground. She picked it up and smiled. "Now it's mine!" she said. But then she saw something else. It was a big, black spider. It had eight legs and two fangs. It was looking at her and the worm.
+
+Lily panicked. She threw the worm and the spider in the air and ran after Ben. She did not like the spider. It was scary and mean.
+
+"Ben, Ben, wait for me!" she cried. "There's a spider in the garden!"
+
+Ben heard Lily and stopped. He turned around and saw her running. He also saw the spider. It was coming after them.
+
+Ben and Lily were alert. They ran to the house and slammed the door. They hugged each other and breathed hard. They were safe from the spider.
+
+"Sorry, Lily," Ben said. "I should have shared the worm with you."
+
+"It's okay, Ben," Lily said. "I should not have hit the bucket. Let's be friends again."
+
+They smiled and nodded. They decided to play with something else. They did not want to play with bugs anymore. They had enough of them for one day.
+Mira and Sam were friends who liked to play outside. They liked to gather things they found on the ground, like leaves, rocks, and flowers. They had a big box where they kept their treasures.
+
+One day, they saw a bright yellow bird in a tree. It was singing a pretty song. Mira and Sam wanted to see it closer, so they walked to the tree and looked up.
+
+"Hello, bird!" Mira said. "You are very yellow and pretty. Can we be your friends?"
+
+The bird looked at them and tilted its head. It sang another song, but Mira and Sam did not understand.
+
+"Maybe it wants something," Sam said. "Maybe it is hungry or thirsty. Let's find some food and water for it."
+
+Mira and Sam were thoughtful. They wanted to make the bird happy. They ran to their box and looked for something to give the bird. They found some seeds, some berries, and a bottle cap filled with water. They carried them to the tree and put them on a branch.
+
+"Here, bird," Sam said. "We brought you some food and water. We hope you like them."
+
+The bird flew down and pecked at the seeds and berries. It drank some water from the bottle cap. It looked at Mira and Sam and sang a happy song.
+
+"Thank you, bird," Mira said. "You are very nice and friendly. We are glad you like our gifts."
+
+The bird nodded and flew back to its nest. It waved its wing at Mira and Sam. Mira and Sam waved back and smiled. They had made a new friend.

+
+"I don't know, Sam. He never talks to us. He may not like us. He may think we are dirty and poor. He may not want to share his toys. He may be mean and rude." Tom said.
+
+"Let's try, Tom. Maybe he is lonely and bored. Maybe he wants to make friends. Maybe he will be nice and kind. Maybe he will let us play with his toys. Let's go and ask him." Sam said.
+
+Sam and Tom put on their jackets and shoes and ran across the street. They knocked on Mr. Jones' door and waited. Mr. Jones opened the door and looked at them.
+
+"Hello, Mr. Jones. We are Sam and Tom. We live next door. We like to play baseball, but our yard is wet and muddy. We saw you playing baseball on your patio. It looks dry and fun. Can we play with you, please?" Sam asked.
+
+Mr. Jones smiled and said, "Hello, Sam and Tom. I am glad you came. I like to play baseball, too, but I have no one to play with. I am lonely and bored. You can play with me, of course. Come in, come in. I have a lot of toys. I will share them with you. You can use my net, my tee and my machine. You can also use my bat, my ball and my gloves. I will be nice and kind. Let's play and have fun."

+
+Sam sees Lily's notebook. He wants it too. He is jealous of Lily. He thinks, "Why does Lily have a nice notebook and I don't?" He walks to Lily and says, "Give me your notebook. It is mine now."

+Sam feels sorry. He says, "I am sorry, Lily. I was jealous of your notebook. I wanted it too. But I should not have tried to take it from you. That was wrong. Can you forgive me?"
+
+Lily feels sad. She says, "I am sorry, too, Sam. I liked my notebook. But I like you more. You are my friend. I forgive you. Maybe we can share a notebook next time."
+
+The teacher smiles. She says, "That is very kind of you, Lily and Sam. You are good friends. I have an idea. Why don't you make a new notebook together? You can use some paper, glue, and crayons.

+
+Lily and Sam like the idea. They stop crying. They walk to the teacher. They say, "Thank you, teacher. That sounds fun. Can we do it now?"

+
+"Yes, I am different. But I am friendly. Do you want to be my friend?" The pumpkin asked.

+Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big tree with a hole in its trunk. They wanted to see what was inside.
+
+"Let's go, Tom!" Lily said. "Maybe there are bugs or nuts or something fun."
+
+"OK, Lily, but be careful. The tree looks old and sick. Maybe it will rot and fall down." Tom said.
+
+They ran to the tree and peeked inside the hole. They saw something shiny and round. It looked like a ball.
+
+"Wow, look, Tom! A ball! Let's take it out and play with it." Lily said.
+
+She reached her hand inside the hole and grabbed the ball. But it was not a ball. It was an apple. And it was not shiny and round. It was brown and soft and had worms in it.
+
+"Yuck, Lily, what is that? It's not a ball, it's a bad apple. It's rotten and has bugs in it. Drop it, drop it!" Tom said.
+
+Lily dropped the apple and screamed. She wiped her hand on her dress. The apple smelled bad and left a bitter taste on her fingers.
+
+"Tom, that was gross! Why was there a bad apple in the tree? How did it get there?" Lily said.
+
+"I don't know, Lily. Maybe a bird or a squirrel put it there and forgot about it. Or maybe the tree was sick and made bad apples. Let's go away from here. This tree is not nice. It's rotten and bitter." Tom said.
+
+They ran away from the tree and looked for another place to play. They decided to stay away from old trees with holes in their trunks. They only wanted to play with good things that were not rotten and bitter.

+
+While they were fighting, they did not notice that it was getting colder and darker. The wind blew harder and harder, and they began to shiver. They were too angry to share their coats or gloves. They felt very cold and sad.
+
+Then, they saw a little boy walking by. He had a big smile on his face and a lovely snowman in his arms. He had used a carrot, a button, a hat, and a scarf to make his snowman. He had mixed and matched the things he had found. He saw Tom and Lily and said, "Hello, do you want to play with me and my snowman? He is very friendly and warm."

+"No, Tom, that's not a good idea!" Mia said. "Sharks can bite. They are not friendly. We should stay away."
+
+But Tom did not listen. He ran to the water and splashed in. The shark saw him and swam closer. Tom was scared. He wanted to go back, but the shark was faster.
+
+Then, a big and brown animal appeared. It had a long nose and flippers. It was a seal. The seal barked at the shark and chased it away. Tom was safe. He ran to Mia and hugged her.
+

+
+They ran away with their snacks and hid behind a tree. They started to eat and drink.
+
+But soon, they heard a loud voice. It was a man with a hat and a beard. He was angry and looking for his cooler.
+

+Mom hugs Sara. She says, "Don't worry, Sara. It's okay. You can still sing. You don't need the scale to sing. You have your voice. Your voice is beautiful. You can improve your voice by listening and practicing. I will help you. We can sing together."
+
+Sara smiles. She says, "Thank you, mom. I love you. I love singing. Can we sing now?"
+
+Mom nods. She says, "Yes, we can. Let's sing a song. What song do you want to sing?"
+
+Sara thinks. She says, "I want to sing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. It's my favorite song."
+
+Mom says, "Okay, let's sing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. I will start, and you follow me. Ready?"
+
+Sara says, "Ready!"
+
+Mom and Sara sing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. They sing high and low. They sing loud and soft. They sing happy and proud. They improve their voices. They have fun. They don't need the scale. They have each other.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the bathroom. They liked to splash water from the faucet and make bubbles with the soap. They did not hear Mom calling them for dinner.
+
+"Look, Ben, I can make the water go faster!" Lily said. She turned the faucet all the way. Water gushed out and filled the sink. Some water spilled over the edge and wet the floor.
+
+"Wow, that's fun!" Ben said. He turned the faucet on the other sink too. More water came out and made a huge puddle on the floor. The bathroom looked like a lake.
+
+"Uh-oh, we made a mess!" Lily said. She tried to turn off the faucet, but it was too hard. She pulled and pulled, but the water did not stop.
+
+"Help, help!" Ben said. He slipped on the wet floor and fell down. He hurt his head and cried.
+
+Mom heard the noise and ran to the bathroom. She saw the water and the children. She was very angry and scared.
+
+"What are you doing? You could have drowned! You could have broken your head! You are in big trouble!" Mom said. She turned off the faucets and picked up Ben. She took him to the doctor. She left Lily in the bathroom. Lily was very sorry and sad. She wished she could escape from the bathroom and hug Mom and Ben. But she could not. She had to wait until Mom came back. She did not know when that would be. She felt very alone and cold. She wished she had not played with the faucet.
+Anna and Ben are playing in the kitchen. They want to cook something for their mom. They find some pots and pans and spoons and bowls. They fill them with water and flour and salt and sugar. They stir and mix and pour and pretend they are chefs.
+
+"Look, Ben, I made a cake!" Anna says, holding up a bowl of sticky dough.
+
+"Wow, Anna, that looks yummy!" Ben says, smiling. "I made soup!" He shows her a pot of watery flour.
+
+They hear the phone ring in the living room. They run to answer it. It is their mom. She is at work.
+
+"Hi, Anna and Ben, how are you?" Mom says.
+
+"Hi, Mom, we are good!" Anna says. "We are cooking for you!"
+
+"Cooking? What are you cooking?" Mom asks.
+
+"A cake and soup!" Ben says.
+
+"A cake and soup? That sounds delicious!" Mom says. "You are very sweet and clever. I love you!"
+
+"We love you too, Mom!" Anna and Ben say.
+
+They are very happy. They can't wait for Mom to come home and see their surprise. They hope she will like it. They hug the phone and say bye. They go back to the kitchen and keep playing.
+Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big slide that looked very fun. Lily wanted to go first, but Ben said no. He said he was bigger and faster, and he ran to the slide. Lily was sad and angry. She followed Ben and waited for him to slide down.
+
+When Ben reached the bottom, he smiled and said, "That was great! I want to go again!" He tried to climb up the slide, but Lily stopped him. She pinched his arm hard and said, "No, it's my turn! You are mean and selfish!" Ben cried out and pushed Lily away. He said, "Ow, that hurts! You are mean and rude!" They both started to fight and yell.
+
+A lady who worked in the park heard them and came over. She saw them hitting and kicking each other. She said, "Stop, stop, stop! What are you doing? You are not supposed to fight in the park. You are supposed to share and be nice. Why are you fighting?" Lily and Ben both pointed at each other and said, "He/she started it! He/she pinched me/pushed me!"
+
+The lady shook her head and said, "I don't care who started it. You both need to say sorry and make up. Fighting is not the way to solve problems. It only makes things worse. If you want to play in the park, you have to follow the rules. The rules are: be kind, be fair, and take turns. Do you understand?" Lily and Ben nodded and said, "Yes, we understand." They looked at each other and said, "Sorry, I was wrong. Can we be friends again?" They hugged and said, "Yes, we can be friends again."
+
+The lady smiled and said, "That's good. Now, you can both go on the slide, one at a time. But first, you have to promise me something. You have to promise me that you will not pinch or push or hurt each other again. Can you do that?" Lily and Ben said, "Yes, we can do that. We promise." They held their pinkies and said, "Pinkie promise." The lady said, "Good. Now, go and have fun. And remember, sharing is caring." Lily and Ben said, "Thank you, lady. You are very nice." They ran to the slide and took turns. They had a lot of fun and learned a lesson. They decided to always be kind, fair, and take turns. They knew that was the best way to play and stay friends.
+Ben and Lily were playing in the mud. They liked to make mud pies and mud castles. They were very happy and very filthy.
+
+"Look at my mud pie!" Ben said. "It has a worm on top!"
+
+"Yuck!" Lily said. "My mud castle is better. It has a stick and a leaf!"
+
+They heard their mom call them from the house. "Ben! Lily! Time for a snack!"
+
+They ran to the house, leaving their mud creations behind. They hoped their mom had cookies for them. They loved cookies.
+
+But when they got to the door, their mom stopped them. "Oh, no! You are too filthy to come in!" she said. "You need to soak in the tub first. Go to the backyard and use the hose."
+
+Ben and Lily were sad. They wanted cookies, not a bath. They went to the backyard and turned on the hose. They sprayed each other with water, trying to wash off the mud.
+
+"Maybe we can still have cookies after we soak," Ben said.
+
+"Maybe," Lily said. "But I think mom will give us carrots instead."
+
+They sighed and kept soaking. They wished they had not played in the mud.
+Anna and Ben are playing hide and seek in the park. Anna is the seeker and Ben is the hider. Ben runs to find a good spot to hide. He sees a big tree with many leaves. He thinks it is a good place to hide. He goes behind the tree and stays very quiet.
+
+Anna counts to ten and then says, "Ready or not, here I come!" She looks around the park and tries to find Ben. She sees a swing, a slide, a bench, and a fountain, but no Ben. She wonders where he is. She walks around the park and looks for clues.
+
+She comes near the big tree where Ben is hiding. She does not see him, but she hears a little noise. She thinks it might be Ben. She goes closer to the tree and says, "Ben, are you there?" She peeks behind the tree and sees Ben. He is smiling and laughing. He says, "You found me, Anna! Good job!"
+
+Anna says, "You are a good hider, Ben! But I am a good seeker, too! You almost fit behind the tree, but I heard you make a noise. That's how I found you."
+
+Ben says, "You are right, Anna. The tree was almost big enough to hide me, but not quite. Next time, I will find a better spot. Do you want to play again?"
+
+Anna says, "Yes, let's play again! This time, I will hide and you will seek. OK?"
+
+Ben says, "OK, Anna. Let's play again. I will count to ten and then I will find you. No peeking!"
+
+Anna says, "No peeking, Ben. I will find a good spot to hide. Ready, set, go!" She runs to find a new place to hide. Ben starts to count. They have fun playing hide and seek in the park.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. Today they see a big flag on a pole. The flag is red and white and blue. It has stars and stripes.
+
+"Look, Ben, a flag!" Lily says. "It is pretty. What is it for?"
+
+Ben shrugs. He does not know. He sees a man near the flag. The man has a hat and a badge. He looks busy.
+
+"Let's ask him," Ben says. He and Lily run to the man.
+
+"Hello, sir," Ben says. "What is your work? Why do you have a flag?"
+
+The man smiles. He is a park ranger. He tells them that the flag is a symbol of their country. He says that the flag shows that they are free and strong and united.
+
+"That is cool," Lily says. "Can we touch the flag?"
+
+The man nods. He lowers the flag a little. He lets them touch the soft fabric. He tells them to be gentle and respectful.
+
+"Thank you, sir," Ben says. "You have a nice work. And a nice flag."
+
+The man laughs. He says they are welcome. He says they are funny and smart kids. He raises the flag again. He waves to them.
+
+Lily and Ben wave back. They are happy. They learned something new. They go back to play. They look at the flag and smile.
+Ben and Lily liked to play with their dog, Spot. Spot was a big, black dog with a white spot on his chest. He was very friendly and charming. He liked to run and jump and lick Ben and Lily's faces.
+
+One day, Ben and Lily took Spot to the park. They put a leash on him, so he would not run away. They saw many other dogs and people in the park. Spot wanted to say hello to everyone. He wagged his tail and barked.
+
+But some of the other dogs did not like Spot. They growled and snarled at him. They did not want to share their toys or their space. Spot was sad and scared. He did not understand why they were so mean.
+
+Ben and Lily saw that Spot was unhappy. They wanted to help him. They shouted at the other dogs, "Stop it! Leave Spot alone! He is a good dog!" They hugged Spot and gave him a treat. They told him they loved him.
+
+Spot felt better. He knew that Ben and Lily were his best friends. He licked their faces and wagged his tail. He did not care about the other dogs anymore. He was happy and charming.
+Sara liked to play with her toy cars. She had many cars of different colors and sizes. She liked to zoom them on the floor and make loud noises. She had a favorite car, a red one that was very fast and shiny.
+
+One day, her brother Tom came to her room. He saw her red car and wanted to play with it. He said, "Give me your car, Sara. I want to zoom it too." Sara did not want to share her car. She said, "No, Tom. This is my car. You have your own cars. Go away." Tom did not listen. He tried to grab her car from her hand.
+
+Sara and Tom started to fight over the car. They pulled and pushed and shouted. The car was too small for both of them. It did not fit in their hands. They were not careful. They broke the car. The wheels came off and the paint scratched. Sara and Tom stopped fighting. They looked at the broken car and felt sad.
+
+They realized they had made a big mistake. They had ruined Sara's favorite car. They had hurt each other's feelings. They had not been nice to each other. They said sorry to each other and hugged. They decided to share their toys and play together. They learned that zooming cars was more fun when they were friends.
+Tom and Sue like to play golf with their dad. They have a big bag of balls and sticks. They go to a big field with holes and flags. Dad says they have to be careful and not hit anyone.
+
+One day, Tom and Sue see a big fence near the field. They wonder what is behind it. They see a sign that says "Zoo". They want to see the animals. They leave their bag of balls and sticks and sneak under the fence.
+
+They see a lot of animals. They see lions and monkeys and elephants. They are very happy. They want to get closer to the animals. They see a cage with a big bear. The bear is sleeping. Tom and Sue think the bear is cute. They want to touch it.
+
+They open the cage door and go inside. The bear wakes up. It is angry. It roars and chases Tom and Sue. They are very scared. They try to run away. They are clumsy. They trip and fall. The bear catches them. It bites them. They scream.
+

+"Who will win?" Sam questions. He thinks his card is too small.
+
+"I will win!" Mia says. She thinks her card is too big.
+
+They show their cards to each other. Sam sees the lion. Mia sees the mouse. They both laugh.
+
+"You win, Sam!" Mia says. "Your mouse is smarter than my lion. He can hide and run away."
+
+"Thank you, Mia!" Sam says. "Your lion is stronger than my mouse. He can roar and scare everyone."
+
+They hug and smile. They are happy. They play another game. They are good friends.
+Lily liked to play with her ball in the yard. She threw it high in the air and caught it. She threw it high again and again. She was happy.
+
+But then the ball went too high. It flew over the fence and into the neighbor's yard. Lily could not see it. She was sad.
+
+She ran to the fence and called, "Ball, ball, where are you?" But the ball did not answer. She saw the neighbor's dog. The dog was big and loud. It barked at Lily. Lily was scared.
+
+She heard the neighbor's voice. He was angry. He said, "Hey, kid, leave my dog alone. And leave my yard. That's my ball now. Go away."
+
+Lily did not like the neighbor. He was mean. She wanted her ball back. She said, "No, no, that's my ball. Please give it to me. Please be nice."
+
+But the neighbor did not listen. He said, "No, no, that's my ball. Go away or I'll call your mom." He took the ball and went inside his house. He slammed the door.
+
+Lily cried. She ran to her mom and told her what happened. Her mom hugged her and said, "Don't worry, Lily. We'll get your ball back. The neighbor was wrong. He should not take your ball. He should not be mean. We'll talk to him and make him say sorry."
+
+Lily felt better. She hoped the neighbor would give her ball back. She hoped he would be nice. She loved her ball. She loved her mom.
+Tim and Jen are playing in the kitchen. They see a big turkey on the table. It is dead. It has no feathers and no head.
+
+"Let's mix something for the turkey," Tim says. He opens the fridge and takes out some eggs, milk, cheese and jam. Jen nods and helps him.
+
+They crack the eggs and pour the milk in a bowl. They add some cheese and jam and stir with a spoon. The mix is yellow and sticky and sweet.
+
+They go to the table and pour the mix over the turkey. The turkey is wet and shiny and messy.
+
+"Look, we made the turkey yummy!" Jen says. She smiles and licks her fingers.
+
+Mom comes into the kitchen and sees the turkey and the mix. She gasps and drops her bag.
+
+"What have you done?" she asks. She is angry and shocked.
+
+Tim and Jen look at her and shrug.
+
+"We mixed something for the turkey," Tim says. "Do you like it?"
+Anna likes strawberries. She likes them a lot. She likes them more than any other fruit. She likes them more than her brother Ben. Ben likes bananas. He likes them a lot. He likes them more than any other fruit. He likes them more than Anna.
+
+One day, Anna and Ben go to the park with their mom. Mom says they can play on the swings and the slide. But Anna sees something else. She sees a big bush with red dots. She knows what they are. They are strawberries. She runs to the bush. She picks a strawberry. She eats it. It is sweet and juicy. She picks another one. She eats it. It is sweet and juicy too. She picks more and more. She does not share. She does not see Ben.
+
+Ben sees Anna. He sees her eating strawberries. He wants some too. He likes strawberries. He likes them a little. He likes them more than apples. He likes them less than bananas. He walks to the bush. He reaches for a strawberry. But Anna stops him. She says, "No, Ben. These are my strawberries. You can't have any. Go away." She is bossy. She is mean. Ben is sad. He is angry. He does not go away. He says, "No, Anna. These are not your strawberries. These are the park's strawberries. You have to share. Give me some." He is bossy. He is mean. Anna and Ben fight. They pull and push. They yell and cry.
+
+Mom hears them. She sees them. She is not happy. She is mad. She runs to the bush. She says, "Stop, Anna and Ben. What are you doing? Why are you fighting? Why are you eating strawberries?" She is bossy. She is right. Anna and Ben stop. They look at mom. They look at the bush. They see something else. They see a sign. The sign says, "Do not pick the strawberries. They are for the birds." They are in trouble. They are sorry. They say, "Sorry, mom. Sorry, birds." Mom says, "You have to say sorry to each other too. And you have to share. And you have to eat something else. No more strawberries for you today." She is bossy. She is fair. Anna and Ben say, "Sorry, Anna. Sorry, Ben. We will share. We will eat something else." They hug. They are friends. They go to the swings and the slide. They have fun. They eat bananas. They are sweet and juicy too.
+Lila was a little girl who liked to wonder. She wondered about many things, like why the sky was blue, or how birds could fly, or what made the stars shine. She liked to ask her mom and dad questions, and they tried to answer them as best as they could.
+
+One day, Lila saw a strange animal in the park. It had a long nose, four legs, and many spikes on its back. She wondered what it was, and why it had spikes. She asked her mom, who told her it was a porcupine, and that the spikes were to protect it from other animals. Lila thought that was very clever, and wanted to learn more.
+
+She walked closer to the porcupine, but her mom stopped her. She said that the porcupine might be scared, and that it could hurt her with its spikes. She said that Lila should respect the porcupine, and watch it from a distance. Lila listened to her mom, and nodded. She thought that her mom was very wise, and that the porcupine was very interesting. She wondered if the porcupine wondered about things too, like why Lila had hair, or how she could talk, or what made her smile. She smiled at the porcupine, and the porcupine looked at her with curious eyes. They wondered about each other, and felt a connection.
+Mia and Ben are friends. They like to play with chalk on the sidewalk. They draw flowers, stars, and animals with different colors. They have fun and laugh a lot.

+
+"Hey, stop that!" Mia shouts. "You are mean and rude!"
+
+"Go away!" Ben says. "You have no right to do that!"
+
+The big boy does not listen. He laughs and erases more drawings. He says they are chubby and weak.
+
+Mia and Ben feel bad. They want to stop him, but they are afraid. They look at each other and have an idea. They decide to unite and work together.

+
+"Ready, set, go!" Tim says. He kicks the red ball hard. Jen kicks the blue ball too. They run after the balls. The balls roll fast on the grass.
+
+But then, a big dog comes. The dog sees the balls. The dog likes balls. The dog runs to the balls. He catches the red ball in his mouth. He catches the blue ball too. He runs away with the balls.
+
+"Hey, come back!" Tim shouts. He is sad. He likes his red ball. Jen is sad too. She likes her blue ball.
+
+They run after the dog. But the dog is faster. The dog goes to his owner. His owner is a man. The man sees the balls. He sees Tim and Jen.
+
+"Are these your balls?" the man asks. He is nice. He gives the balls back to Tim and Jen.

+Anna and Ben were at the zoo with their mom. They liked to see the animals and learn their names. They saw monkeys, elephants, giraffes, and many more. They were very happy and excited.
+
+Then they came to the lion cage. There was a big lion with a long mane and sharp teeth. He was lying on a rock and looked sleepy. Anna and Ben wanted to see him better, so they went closer to the fence.
+
+"Hello, lion!" Anna said. "You are very pretty and strong. Do you want to play with us?"
+
+The lion opened his eyes and looked at Anna and Ben. He did not say anything, but he made a loud roar. Anna and Ben were scared and jumped back.
+
+"Mom, the lion is angry!" Ben said. "Why did he roar at us?"
+
+Mom hugged Anna and Ben and explained. "The lion is not angry, he is just saying hello in his own way. He does not want to play with you, because he is a wild animal and he lives in a different place. He is here in the zoo because he is very expensive and rare, and the zookeepers take good care of him. But we have to respect him and keep a safe distance."
+
+Anna and Ben realized that the lion was not a toy or a friend, but a special and powerful creature. They felt sorry for him, because he could not run and hunt in his home. They waved goodbye to the lion and thanked him for showing them his roar. Then they went to see the other animals and had a fun day at the zoo.

+
+Anna and Ben follow mom and dad to their bedroom. They see a big box on the bed. Mom and dad open the box and take out a big tent. The tent is red and blue and has a roof. Mom and dad say, "This is your new tent! You can play with it in the yard or in the house. It is big enough for both of you and your toys!"
+
+Anna and Ben are excited. They say, "Thank you, mom and dad! We love the tent!" Mom and dad help them set up the tent in the yard. The rain stops and the sun comes out.

+Tom and Lily were playing with their toy trucks in the garden. They liked to load them with dirt, rocks and leaves and drive them around. They pretended they were builders and made roads, bridges and houses.
+
+One day, they found a shiny stone in the dirt. It was round and smooth and sparkled in the sun. Tom picked it up and put it in his truck. He said, "This is a magic stone. It can make anything happen."
+
+Lily wanted to see the magic stone. She asked Tom to share it with her. Tom said, "No, it is mine. I found it first." He drove his truck away from Lily and hid behind a bush.
+
+Lily was sad and angry. She said, "That is not fair. You are not a good brother. You should share the magic stone with me." She looked for her own magic stone, but she could not find any.
+
+She saw a big pile of dirt near the fence. She thought, maybe there is a magic stone under the dirt. She took her truck and started to load it with dirt. She worked hard and filled her truck with dirt. She was proud of her work.
+
+She drove her truck to the fence and dumped the dirt. She hoped to see a magic stone, but there was none. She was disappointed. She looked at the fence and saw something else. She saw a hole in the fence. She saw the other side of the fence. She saw a park with swings, slides and flowers. She saw other children playing and laughing.
+
+She smiled and said, "Wow, this is a magic hole. It can take me to a fun place." She left her truck and crawled through the hole. She went to the park and made new friends. She had a lot of fun.
+
+Tom heard Lily's laughter. He came out from behind the bush and looked for her. He saw her truck and the hole in the fence. He saw her in the park. He felt lonely and sorry. He said, "Lily, come back. I want to play with you. I want to share the magic stone with you."
+
+But Lily did not hear him. She was too busy having fun. Tom learned a lesson. He learned that sharing is better than being selfish. He learned that magic is not in a stone, but in a smile.
+Lily was very happy. She had a new dolphin toy. It was blue and soft and made a funny sound when she squeezed it. She loved her dolphin very much. She named it Dolly.
+
+She took Dolly everywhere. She played with Dolly in the bath, in the garden, in the car, and in her bed. She hugged Dolly and told her stories. She said, "You are my best friend, Dolly. I own you and you own me."
+
+One day, Lily went to the park with her mom and Dolly. She saw a boy with a red ball. He looked lonely. Lily wanted to share. She walked up to him and said, "Hi, I am Lily. This is Dolly. She is a dolphin. Do you want to play with us?"
+
+The boy smiled. He said, "Hi, I am Sam. This is my ball. It is red. Yes, I want to play with you." He threw the ball to Lily. She caught it and threw it back. They laughed and ran and had fun.

+Lily and Ben were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a new path in the park. It was brown and had many stones.
+
+"Let's take this path and see where it goes," said Ben.
+
+"OK, but be careful. We don't know what is there," said Lily.
+
+They took the path and walked for a while. They saw many flowers and trees. They also saw some birds and squirrels. They were happy and curious.
+
+But then, they came to a big hill. The path went up the hill and then down. They could not see what was on the other side.
+
+"Wow, this is a big hill. Do you want to go up?" asked Ben.
+
+"I don't know. It looks scary. Maybe we should go back," said Lily.
+
+Ben was thoughtful. He did not want to make Lily scared. But he also wanted to see what was on the other side.
+
+He said, "How about this? I will go up the hill and look. You can wait here. If I see something nice, I will call you. If I see something bad, I will come back. OK?"
+
+Lily nodded. She trusted Ben. She said, "OK, but be quick. And be safe."
+
+Ben smiled. He said, "OK, I will. Don't worry."
+
+He took the path and went up the hill. Lily waited for him. She hoped he would see something nice. She also hoped he would come back soon. She missed him.
+Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park. They enjoy the sun and the grass and the flowers. They run and jump and laugh with their body.
+
+One day, they see a big slide. It is red and shiny and tall. Tom and Lily want to try it. They climb up the stairs and sit on the slide. They hold hands and say, "Ready, set, go!"
+
+They slide down very fast. They feel the wind and the thrill. They scream with joy. They land on the soft sand. They look at each other and smile. They say, "That was great! Let's do it again!" They run back to the stairs.
+
+They slide many times. They have a lot of fun. They enjoy the slide and each other. They are happy. They are great friends.
+Sam and Mia were playing on the beach. They liked to dig in the sand and look for shells and rocks. They saw a big boat in the water. It had a long rope and a metal thing at the end.
+
+"What is that?" Sam asked.
+
+"That is an anchor," Mia said. "It helps the boat stay in one place."
+
+Sam wanted to see the anchor better. He crawled closer to the water. He saw the anchor was shiny and had a pointy part.
+
+"Can I touch it?" Sam asked.
+
+"No, it is too heavy and sharp," Mia said. "It might hurt you."
+
+But Sam did not listen. He crawled closer and closer to the anchor. He reached out his hand to touch it.
+
+Suddenly, a big wave came and splashed Sam. He got wet and cold. He cried out loud.
+
+Mia ran to him and helped him get up. She hugged him and said, "Are you okay, Sam?"
+
+Sam nodded. He was scared and sorry. He said, "I am sorry, Mia. I should have listened to you. The anchor was not fun. It was scary."
+
+Mia smiled and said, "It's okay, Sam. I forgive you. Let's go back to our sandcastle. It is more fun and safe."
+
+Sam agreed. He held Mia's hand and they walked back to their sandcastle. They played with their lively toys and had a good time. They learned to be careful and listen to each other.
+Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had many toys in their room, but they did not like to tidy them up. Their mom always asked them to put their toys away, but they said they were too busy or too tired.
+
+One day, their mom told them that they had to sell some of their toys, because they had too many and they needed money for other things. Anna and Ben did not want to sell their toys, they loved them all. They cried and begged their mom to let them keep their toys.
+
+Their mom said they could choose some toys to keep, but they had to sell the rest. She said they had to be fair and share the toys they kept. She also said they had to tidy their room and make it look nice for the people who would buy their toys.
+
+Anna and Ben did not like this, but they knew they had to do it. They looked at their toys and tried to decide which ones to keep and which ones to sell. They realized that some of their toys were very special to them, because they had memories of playing with them. They remembered how they got them as gifts, or how they made them laugh, or how they helped them learn.
+
+They decided to keep the toys that had memories, and sell the toys that they did not play with much. They also agreed to share the toys they kept, and to tidy their room every day. They put the toys they wanted to sell in a box, and their mom helped them put a sign outside their house that said "Toys for sale".
+
+Soon, many people came to see their toys. Some people bought their toys and gave them money. Anna and Ben felt sad to see their toys go, but they also felt happy that other children would play with them and make new memories. They thanked the people who bought their toys, and put the money in a jar.
+
+Their mom was proud of them for being brave and generous. She said they could use the money to buy something they needed, or to save it for later. She also said they could keep some of the money to buy a new toy, but only one. She said they had to choose wisely, and to think of the memories they would make with it.
+
+Anna and Ben thought hard, and decided to buy a new toy that they both liked and could play with together. They went to the toy store and found a toy that was fun and colorful and made sounds. They paid for it with their money, and took it home. They were very excited to play with it, and to make new memories.
+
+They learned that having too many toys was not good, and that having memories was better. They also learned to tidy their room, and to share their toys. They were happy with their new toy, and with each other. They hugged their mom and thanked her for teaching them a lesson. They said they loved her, and they loved their toys.
+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play with blocks and cars. One day, they go to the park with their moms. There is a big slide in the park. Tom and Mia want to go on the slide.
+
+"Let's go on the slide!" Tom says.
+
+"OK!" Mia says.
+
+They run to the slide. But there is a boy on the slide. He is bigger than Tom and Mia. He does not let them go on the slide.
+
+"Go away!" the boy says. "This is my slide!"
+
+Tom and Mia are sad. They do not want to fight with the boy. They look for another game.
+
+"Look, there is a tip!" Mia says. She sees a pile of sticks and leaves. "We can make a house!"
+
+"Good idea!" Tom says. They go to the tip. They start to make a house. They use the sticks and leaves. They make a door and a window. They have fun.
+
+The boy sees Tom and Mia. He is bored on the slide. He wants to spoil their game. He runs to the tip. He kicks the sticks and leaves. He breaks the house.
+
+"Ha ha!" the boy says. "Your house is gone!"
+
+Tom and Mia are angry. They worked hard on their house. They do not like the boy.
+
+"Stop it!" Tom says. "You are mean!"
+
+"Go away!" Mia says. "You are not our friend!"
+
+The boy laughs. He does not care. He runs back to the slide.
+
+Tom and Mia are sad. They look at their house. It is not a house anymore. It is a mess.
+
+But then, they see something interesting. They see a bird. The bird is on the tip. The bird likes the sticks and leaves. The bird picks some sticks and leaves. The bird flies away.
+
+"Look!" Tom says. "The bird likes our house!"
+
+"Maybe the bird will make a nest!" Mia says.
+
+They smile. They are happy. They watch the bird. They forget about the boy. They forget about the slide. They have a new game. They make more houses for the birds. They have fun.
+Lily and Ben were at the park with their mom. They saw a big fountain with water that went up and down. They wanted to play near the fountain, but mom said they had to be careful.
+
+"Can we remove our shoes and socks, mom?" Lily asked. "We want to feel the water on our feet."
+
+"Okay, but only for a little while," mom said. "And don't go too close to the fountain. It might splash you."
+
+Lily and Ben removed their shoes and socks and ran to the fountain. They giggled as they felt the cold water on their toes. They tried to catch the drops of water with their hands.
+
+"Look, Ben, I can make a rainbow with the water!" Lily said. She moved her hand in front of the sun and saw the colors.
+
+"Wow, that's pretty, Lily!" Ben said. He tried to do the same, but he moved his hand too fast and got dizzy.
+
+"Whoa, I feel funny," Ben said. He stumbled and fell on the grass.
+
+"Ben, are you okay?" Lily asked. She ran to him and helped him up.
+
+"I'm okay, Lily. I just got dizzy from the water," Ben said. He rubbed his eyes and smiled.
+
+"Maybe we should go back to mom now," Lily said. "She might have a snack for us."
+
+"Okay, let's go," Ben said. They put on their shoes and socks and ran back to mom.
+
+"Did you have fun at the fountain?" mom asked.
+
+"Yes, mom, we did," Lily and Ben said. "But Ben got dizzy from the water."
+
+"Oh, poor Ben. Here, have some juice and crackers. That will make you feel better," mom said. She gave them a hug and a kiss.
+
+Lily and Ben drank their juice and ate their crackers. They felt happy and warm. They thanked mom for taking them to the park. They loved the fountain, but they loved mom more.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play together in the park. One day, they see a big slide. Lily wants to go on the slide, but Ben is scared.
+
+"Come on, Ben, let's try the slide. It looks fun!" Lily says.
+
+"No, Lily, it is too high. I might fall and hurt myself." Ben says.
+
+Lily thinks for a moment. She has an idea. She takes Ben's hand and says, "How about we try the slide together? I will hold your hand and we will go slow. It will be okay."
+
+Ben looks at Lily. He sees that she is cheerful and brave. He trusts her. He nods and says, "Okay, Lily, let's try the slide together."
+
+They climb up the stairs and sit on the slide. Lily holds Ben's hand and says, "Ready, set, go!" They slide down the slide, feeling the wind in their hair and the sun on their faces. They laugh and scream with joy. They reach the bottom and hug each other.
+
+"That was fun, Lily! Thank you for helping me try the slide. You are a good friend." Ben says.
+
+"I'm glad you liked it, Ben. You are a good friend too. I love playing with you." Lily says.
+
+They smile and run to the slide again. They try the slide many times, having fun and feeling happy. They are cheerful friends who love to try new things.
+Tom likes to learn new words. He has a big book with many words and pictures. The book is called a dictionary. Tom likes to look at the dictionary and say the words out loud.
+
+One day, Tom wants to find a word that starts with Z. He thinks Z is a funny letter. He opens the dictionary and starts to search for Z words. He sees words like zebra, zoo, and zipper. He says them and smiles.
+
+But Tom is stubborn. He wants to find more Z words. He turns the pages and searches and searches. He does not see any more Z words. He gets angry and sad. He thinks the dictionary is hiding the Z words from him.
+
+He throws the dictionary on the floor and cries. He says he does not like the dictionary anymore. He wants a new book with more Z words.
+
+Mom hears Tom crying and comes to see what is wrong. She sees the dictionary on the floor and picks it up. She hugs Tom and asks him why he is upset.
+
+Tom tells Mom that he wants more Z words. He says the dictionary is bad and has no more Z words. Mom smiles and says that the dictionary is not bad. It has many words, but not all of them. She says that Z is a rare letter and there are not many Z words in the language.
+
+She tells Tom that he can learn more Z words from other books or from the internet. She says that he can also make up his own Z words and have fun with them. She says that he is a smart and curious boy and she is proud of him.
+
+Tom feels better and says he is sorry for throwing the dictionary. He says he still likes the dictionary and wants to learn more words. He hugs Mom and says thank you. He asks Mom to help him find some other books with Z words. Mom says yes and they go to the library together.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They had a big box of toys and they were making a pretend zoo. Lily had a fake lion, a fake elephant and a fake monkey. Tom had a fake giraffe, a fake zebra and a fake snake.
+
+"Look at my zoo!" Lily said. "It is the best zoo ever! Do you want to play with me?"
+
+Tom looked at Lily's zoo and shook his head. "No, I don't want to play with you. Your zoo is silly. Your animals are fake. They are not real. They are just toys. I want to play with real animals."
+
+Lily felt sad and angry. She liked her fake animals. They were fun and soft and colorful. She did not want to play with real animals. They were scary and loud and dirty. She said to Tom, "You are mean. My animals are not silly. They are nice. You can't play with my zoo. Go away!"
+
+Tom did not go away. He wanted to play with real animals. He saw a big hole in the earth. He thought it was a cave. He said to Lily, "I don't care about your zoo. I found a real cave. Maybe there are real animals inside. I will go and see. Bye!"
+
+Tom ran to the hole and jumped in. He did not know that the hole was not a cave. It was a trap. Someone had dug it to catch bad people. Tom fell down and hurt himself. He cried and cried. He was scared and alone. He wished he had not refused to play with Lily. He wished he had not been mean to her. He wished he had not jumped into the fake cave. He wished he had stayed with Lily and her fake zoo.
+Jill and Tom like to play in the park. They like to slide, swing and run. One day, they find a shiny thing in the grass. It is a gem. It is red and round and sparkles in the sun.
+
+"Wow, look at this!" Jill says. "It is so pretty!"
+
+"Can I see?" Tom asks. He takes the gem from Jill and rubs it with his hand. He hopes it will make a wish come true.
+
+"What do you wish for?" Jill asks.
+
+"I wish for a big cake!" Tom says. He likes cake very much.
+
+"That is a silly wish!" Jill says. "Cake is not healthy. You should wish for something good for you, like a fruit or a vegetable."
+
+"But I don't like fruits or vegetables!" Tom says. He makes a face.
+
+Just then, they hear a voice. It is a man in a green hat. He is looking for something.
+
+"Hello, children," he says. "Have you seen my gem? I lost it here. It is very important to me. It is a magic gem. It can grant any wish, but only once."
+
+Jill and Tom are surprised. They look at the gem in Tom's hand. They look at the man in the green hat. They don't know what to do.
+Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a vendor in the park. The vendor sells ice cream. Tom and Sue love ice cream.
+
+"Can we have ice cream, please?" Tom asks the vendor.
+
+"Sure, kids. What flavor do you want?" the vendor says.
+
+"I want chocolate," Tom says.
+
+"I want vanilla," Sue says.
+
+The vendor gives them ice cream. Tom and Sue are happy. They lick their ice cream.
+
+But the vendor is not happy. He is fat and sad. He eats too much ice cream. He does not exercise. He does not have friends.
+
+"Thank you, vendor," Tom says.
+
+"Thank you, vendor," Sue says.
+
+"You're welcome, kids. Enjoy your ice cream," the vendor says.
+
+But he does not enjoy his ice cream. He feels sick and lonely.
+
+Tom and Sue finish their ice cream. They see other kids playing in the park. They run to join them. They have fun.
+
+"Hey, vendor, do you want to play with us?" Tom asks.
+
+The vendor is surprised. He smiles.
+
+"Really? You want me to play with you?" he asks.
+
+"Yes, vendor. You are nice. You can be our friend," Sue says.
+
+The vendor is happy. He puts down his ice cream. He runs to play with the kids. He has fun.
+
+The vendor learns a lesson. He learns that ice cream is good, but too much is bad. He learns that exercise is good, but not enough is bad. He learns that friends are good, but none is bad.
+
+He decides to eat less ice cream, exercise more, and make more friends. He becomes healthier and happier.
+
+The end.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big truck with a lot of wires and boxes. They were curious and went closer.
+
+"Hello, kids. Do you want to see what we are doing?" A man with a hat and a badge asked them. He was holding a microphone.
+
+"Yes, please!" Tom and Lily said.
+
+"We are making a movie. This microphone is for recording the sounds. Do you want to try it?" The man said.
+
+He gave the microphone to Tom and told him to say something.
+
+"Hello, I am Tom. I like cars and dinosaurs." Tom said into the microphone.
+
+The man smiled and said, "Very good, Tom. You have a nice voice. Do you want to hear it?"
+
+He pressed a button and Tom heard his voice coming from a speaker. It sounded loud and clear.
+
+"Wow, that's incredible!" Tom said.
+
+Lily wanted to try too. She took the microphone and said, "Hello, I am Lily. I like flowers and dolls."
+
+The man pressed the button and Lily heard her voice too. She giggled and said, "That's funny!"
+
+The man said, "You are both very brave and smart. Do you want to see how we make the movie?"
+
+He showed them a camera and a screen. He explained how they capture the images and edit them. He also showed them some costumes and props.
+
+Tom and Lily were amazed. They thanked the man and said goodbye.
+
+They ran back to their mom and dad and told them everything. They said they had a lot of fun and learned a lot.
+
+Mom and dad were happy and proud. They hugged Tom and Lily and said, "You are incredible!"
+One day, a boy and his dad went to the lake to catch some fish. They brought a spear and a net with them. The boy liked to watch the fish swim in the water. He wanted to catch one and take it home.
+
+But the fish were very fast and clever. They dodged the spear and the net every time the boy and his dad tried to catch them. The boy felt sad and angry. He started to cry.
+
+"Why are you crying, son?" his dad asked.
+
+"I want a fish, dad. But they are too hard to catch. They are not fair," the boy said.
+
+His dad hugged him and said, "Don't cry, son. Fishing is not easy. It takes patience and skill. Sometimes you catch a fish, sometimes you don't. That's how it is. But we can still have fun and enjoy the lake. Look, there are some ducks over there. They are friendly and cute. Do you want to feed them some bread?"
+
+The boy nodded and wiped his tears. His dad gave him some bread and they walked to the shore. The ducks came closer and quacked. They ate the bread from the boy's hand. The boy smiled and laughed. He felt happy and grateful.
+
+He said, "Thank you, dad. You are right. Fishing is not easy. But feeding ducks is fun. I love you, dad."
+
+"I love you too, son. You are a good boy. And maybe next time, we will catch a fish," his dad said.
+
+They hugged and watched the ducks swim away. They had a good day at the lake.
+Sara loves to watch the planes in the sky. She wants to be a pilot when she grows up. She likes to pretend that she is flying a plane with her toy steering wheel and her teddy bear as her co-pilot.
+
+One day, her dad surprises her with a special gift. He takes her to a small airport where they can ride a real plane. Sara is very happy and excited. She puts on a helmet and a jacket and follows her dad to the plane.
+
+"Hello, I'm Bob, your pilot today," says a friendly man with a big smile. He shows Sara and her dad how to buckle their seat belts and put on their headphones. He tells them what all the buttons and levers do. Sara listens carefully and nods.
+
+The plane starts to move on the ground. Sara feels a little anxious. She holds her teddy bear tight and looks at her dad. He smiles and gives her a thumbs up. She smiles back and tries to be brave.
+
+The plane goes faster and faster. Sara feels a bump and then a lift. The plane is in the air! Sara looks out the window and sees the clouds and the trees and the houses. She feels a thrill in her tummy. She springs up in her seat and claps her hands.
+
+"Wow, this is amazing!" she says. "I love flying!"
+
+"Me too, Sara," says Bob, the pilot. "You're a natural. Do you want to try steering the plane a little bit?"
+
+Sara gasps. She can't believe it. She looks at her dad. He nods and winks. She looks at Bob. He smiles and hands her the steering wheel.
+
+"Go ahead, Sara. You can do it. Just be gentle and follow my instructions."
+
+Sara takes the steering wheel. She feels nervous and excited. She moves it slightly to the left and then to the right. The plane responds to her touch. She feels a surge of joy and confidence.
+
+"I'm flying, I'm flying!" she shouts. "I'm a pilot!"
+
+"You sure are, Sara," says Bob. "You're a great pilot. And you know what? You're also very brave and smart and kind. I'm proud of you."
+
+Sara beams. She hugs her teddy bear and her dad. She thanks Bob for the best gift ever. She decides that flying is her favorite thing in the world. She can't wait to do it again.
+Lila and Tom love to go to the beach with Mom and Dad. They like to play in the sand and splash in the water. Sometimes they see big waves with surf on top. They think the surf is very pretty and fun.
+
+One day, Lila and Tom see a man with a big board. He puts the board in the water and lies on it. Then he waits for a big wave. When the wave comes, he stands up on the board and rides the surf. Lila and Tom clap and cheer. They think the man is very brave and cool.
+
+They want to try it too. They ask Mom and Dad if they can have a board. Mom and Dad say no. They say the board is too big and the waves are too strong for them. They say they are too little to surf. Lila and Tom are sad and angry. They want to surf like the man.
+
+They start to cry and whine. They say they hate the beach and they want to go home. Mom and Dad are not happy. They say they came to the beach to have fun, not to fight. They say they have to be nice and share and listen. They say they have to shut their mouths and stop crying.
+
+Lila and Tom feel bad. They don't want to make Mom and Dad sad. They say they are sorry and they hug them. They say they love the beach and they love them. They say they will be good and playful. Mom and Dad smile and kiss them. They say they love them too and they are proud of them. They say they can play with a small board in the shallow water. They say they can pretend to surf and have fun. Lila and Tom are happy. They take the small board and run to the water. They play with the board and the surf. They laugh and giggle. They have a lot of fun. They forget about the big board and the big waves. They are happy to be at the beach with Mom and Dad.
+Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to dig in the sand and find things. Sometimes they found shells, or stones, or bugs. They put them in a bucket and showed them to each other.
+
+One day, they found something different. It was shiny and yellow. It looked like a coin, but it was not a coin. It was gold.
+
+"Wow, look what I found!" Ben said to Lily. "It is gold! We are rich!"
+
+Lily looked at the gold. She was not sure. She had never seen gold before. She touched it. It was cold and hard.
+
+"Are you sure it is gold?" she asked Ben. "Maybe it is just a toy."
+
+Ben shook his head. He was sure it was gold. He had seen gold on TV. He had heard stories about gold. He wanted to keep it.
+
+"No, it is not a toy. It is real gold. We can buy anything we want with it. We can buy candy, or toys, or books, or clothes. We can buy a big house, or a car, or a plane. We can buy the park!"
+
+Lily thought about it. She liked candy, and toys, and books, and clothes. She liked the park, too. But she did not want to buy it. She liked to share it with other kids. She liked to play with Ben.
+
+She looked at Ben. He was holding the gold tightly. He had a greedy smile on his face. He looked different. He looked mean.
+
+She did not like it. She did not like the gold. She did not like what it did to Ben.
+
+She took the gold from Ben. He tried to stop her, but she was faster. She ran to the sandbox. She put the gold back in the sand. She covered it with more sand. She hoped no one would find it again.
+
+She went back to Ben. He was angry. He yelled at her.
+
+"Why did you do that?" he said. "You are stupid! You are mean! You are not my friend!"
+
+Lily was sad. She did not want to fight with Ben. She did not want to lose him. She wanted him to be nice again.
+
+She said to him, "I am sorry, Ben. But the gold was not good. It made you different. It made you greedy. It made you forget about me. I don't want gold. I want you. You are my friend. Can we still be friends?"
+
+Ben looked at her. He looked at the sand. He looked at the bucket. He saw the shells, and the stones, and the bugs. He remembered how much fun they had. He remembered how much he liked Lily.
+
+He felt sorry. He felt ashamed. He felt silly.
+
+He said to her, "I am sorry, too, Lily. You are right. The gold was not good. It made me different. It made me greedy. It made me forget about you. I don't want gold, either. I want you. You are my friend. Can we still be friends?"
+
+Lily smiled. She hugged him. He hugged her back.
+
+They said to each other, "We are still friends."
+
+They took the bucket. They went to play with other kids. They shared their shells, and their stones, and their bugs. They did not care about the gold. They were happy.
+Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play outside. One day, they see a big truck with many animals. The truck stops near a big field.
+
+"Who are they?" Sara asks.
+
+"Let's go and see," Tom says.
+
+They run to the truck. A man comes out. He wears a hat and boots. He smiles at them.
+
+"Hello, kids. I am a farmer. I bring my animals to the field. Do you want to meet them?" he says.
+
+"Yes, please!" Sara and Tom say.
+
+The farmer introduces them to the animals. He shows them a cow, a pig, a sheep, a goat, a horse and a dog. The animals make different sounds. Sara and Tom like to pet them and feed them.
+
+The farmer also has a bird. The bird is blue. It can talk. It says "Hello" and "Bye-bye". Sara and Tom think the bird is funny.
+
+"Thank you, farmer. We like your animals. They are nice," Sara says.
+
+"You're welcome, kids. I'm glad you like them. They are my friends. You can come and visit them anytime," the farmer says.
+
+Sara and Tom say goodbye to the farmer and the animals. They go back to their house. They tell their mom and dad about their adventure. They have a lot of fun.
+Sara was busy playing with her dolls. She liked to pretend they were her friends and she was their teacher. She gave them names and stories and taught them how to read and write.
+
+One day, she was playing with her doll Lily, who had a red dress and long hair. Sara was brushing Lily's hair when she saw a small tear on her dress. "Oh no, Lily!" Sara said. "You have a hole in your dress. How did that happen?"
+
+Lily did not answer, because she was a doll. But Sara imagined she said, "I don't know, Sara. I was playing in the garden and I got caught on a branch. It hurt a lot."
+
+Sara felt sorry for Lily. She wanted to help her. She looked around and saw a napkin on the table. She thought it could be a bandage for Lily's dress. She took the napkin and wrapped it around Lily's tear. She said, "There, Lily. This will heal your dress. You will be fine soon."
+
+Lily smiled, because Sara made her smile. She said, "Thank you, Sara. You are very kind and smart. You are the best teacher ever."
+
+Sara hugged Lily and said, "You are welcome, Lily. You are my best friend ever. Now, let's take a nap. You need to rest and heal."
+
+Sara and Lily lay down on the couch and closed their eyes. They were happy and sleepy. They dreamed of playing in the garden again, without any holes or branches.
+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the snow in winter. They make snowmen and snowballs and snow forts. They have fun.
+
+One day, they see a big hill with snow. They want to slide down the hill. They find a big sled. They climb on the sled. They are ready to go.
+
+"Are you ready, Lily?" Tom asks.
+
+"Yes, I am ready, Tom!" Lily says.
+
+They push the sled and speed down the hill. They go very fast. They feel the wind and the snow on their faces. They laugh and scream.
+
+But then, they see a big tree in front of them. They are scared. They try to steer the sled away from the tree. But they are going too fast. They cannot stop.
+
+"Help!" Lily and Tom shout.
+
+But then, they see a big pile of snow next to the tree. They crash into the pile of snow. The snow is soft and fluffy. They are safe. They are not hurt.
+
+They get out of the snow. They are cold and wet. But they are happy. They hug each other.
+
+"That was fun!" Lily says.
+
+"That was scary!" Tom says.
+
+They laugh and run back to their homes. They tell their moms and dads about their adventure. They drink hot chocolate and eat cookies. They are warm and cozy. They are friends.
+Lily and Max are friends. They like to play outside. One day, they see a new bicycle near the park. It is red and shiny. It has two big wheels and a small horn.
+
+"Wow, look at that bicycle!" Lily says. "It is so pretty. Can we ride it?"
+
+Max shakes his head. "No, Lily. That is not our bicycle. It belongs to someone else. We have to ask first."
+
+But Lily does not listen. She runs to the bicycle and grabs the horn. She makes a loud noise. "Beep beep! I am riding the bicycle!"
+
+Max follows her. He is worried. He sees a man coming out of a shop. The man looks angry. He points at Lily and the bicycle.
+
+"Hey, that is my bicycle!" the man says. "What are you doing with it? Give it back to me!"
+
+Lily is scared. She lets go of the horn. She tries to get off the bicycle. But the bicycle is too big for her. She falls down. She hurts her knee.
+
+Max helps her up. He is sorry for her. He says to the man, "I am sorry, sir. Lily did not mean to take your bicycle. She just wanted to try it. She likes bicycles."
+
+The man is still angry. But he sees that Lily is crying. He sees that she has a scratch on her knee. He feels a little sorry for her too. He says to Lily, "It is okay, little girl. I know you like bicycles. But you have to be careful. This bicycle is not for you. It is for grown-ups. It is not flexible. It does not bend. You could get hurt."
+
+Lily nods. She says to the man, "I am sorry, sir. I will not take your bicycle again. Can you please forgive me?"
+
+The man smiles. He says to Lily, "Yes, I forgive you. But next time, you have to ask before you grab something that is not yours. Do you understand?"
+
+Lily and Max say, "Yes, we understand." They say, "Thank you, sir." They say, "Goodbye, sir." They walk away from the bicycle. They hold hands. They go back to the park. They play with their own toys. They are happy. They are friends.
+Lily was a little girl who liked to play with her toys. She had a doll, a ball, a car and a train. She loved her train the most. It was red and shiny and made a loud sound when she pushed it.
+
+One day, Lily saw a big pile of coal in the yard. She wondered what it was for. She asked her mom, who was busy in the kitchen.
+
+"Mom, what is this black stuff?" she said, pointing to the coal.
+
+"That is coal, Lily. It is for the fire. We need it to keep warm in the winter. Do not touch it, it is dirty and can hurt you," her mom said.
+
+Lily nodded, but she was curious. She wanted to see how the coal felt. She waited until her mom was not looking, and ran to the yard. She picked up a piece of coal and rubbed it on her hands. It was hard and rough and left black marks on her skin. She thought it was fun.
+
+She saw her train on the grass. She had an idea. She put the coal in the train's cart. She thought it would make the train go faster and louder. She pushed the train around the yard, making a lot of noise.
+
+"Choo-choo! Choo-choo!" she called.
+
+Her mom heard her and came out. She saw Lily and the train covered in coal. She was angry and worried.
+
+"Lily, what have you done? You made a mess! You did not listen to me! The coal is not for playing, it is for the fire! You could have hurt yourself or the train!" she scolded.
+
+Lily felt bad. She saw her mom's face and the coal on her hands. She realized she had done something wrong. She was sorry.
+
+"I'm sorry, mom. I wanted to make the train go faster and louder. I did not mean to make a mess or hurt the train. I will not touch the coal again," she said.
+
+Her mom hugged her and said, "I'm glad you are sorry, Lily. But you have to learn to listen and obey. The coal is not for playing, it is for the fire. It can be dangerous and dirty. You have to be careful and respectful. Come on, let's go inside and clean up. And then we can play with the train together, okay?"
+
+Lily nodded and smiled. She learned her lesson. She followed her mom inside and cleaned up. She played with the train with her mom, and had fun. She did not call or touch the coal again. She was a good girl.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a ball and a kite. They run and laugh and have fun.
+
+One day, they see a big sign. It says "EXIT". Lily and Ben are curious. They want to know what is behind the sign. They leave their ball and kite and walk to the sign.
+
+They see a gate. The gate is open. They peek inside. They see a lot of animals. There are dogs and cats and birds and rabbits. They are in cages. They look sad and scared.
+
+Lily and Ben feel sorry for the animals. They want to help them. They go inside the gate. They find a man. He is wearing a uniform. He has a key.
+
+"Hello, children. What are you doing here?" the man asks.
+
+"We want to see the animals. Why are they in cages?" Lily asks.
+
+"They are waiting for new homes. They are from the shelter. Do you know what a shelter is?" the man explains.
+
+"No, what is a shelter?" Ben asks.
+
+"A shelter is a place where we take care of animals that have no owners. We try to find them good families that will love them and take care of them. Do you like animals?" the man says.
+
+"Yes, we love animals. Can we play with them?" Lily and Ben say.
+
+"Sure, you can play with them. But you have to be gentle and quiet. And you have to stay with me. Do you want to join me and help me feed them and clean them?" the man offers.
+
+"Yes, please. We want to join you and help you. Thank you for letting us play with the animals. We are grateful." Lily and Ben say.
+
+They follow the man and join him. They play with the animals and help him. They make the animals happy and the animals make them happy. They forget about their ball and kite. They have a new adventure. They learn about the shelter and the animals. They are grateful.
+Lily and Ben were twins who lived in a small village. They liked to play outside with their dog, Spot. One day, they saw a big butterfly with many colors on its wings. It was delicate and pretty.
+
+"Look, Ben, a butterfly!" Lily said. "Let's catch it and keep it in a jar!"
+
+"No, Lily, that's not nice. The butterfly needs to fly and be free," Ben said. "Let's just follow it and see where it goes."
+
+They ran after the butterfly, but it was fast and flew away. They did not see where they were going. They left the village and went into the woods. They did not know the woods were dangerous. There were wild animals and thorns and holes.
+
+"Where are we, Ben?" Lily asked. She was scared and tired. "I want to go home."
+
+"I don't know, Lily. I can't see the village anymore," Ben said. He was scared and tired too. "Maybe we can find a path or a sign."
+
+They looked around, but they only saw trees and bushes. They heard a loud roar. It was a bear. It was big and angry. It saw them and wanted to eat them.
+
+"Run, Lily, run!" Ben shouted. "Hurry, hurry, hurry!"
+
+They ran as fast as they could, but the bear was faster. It was getting closer and closer. They thought they were going to die.
+
+But then, they saw Spot. He had followed them from the village. He was brave and loyal. He barked and bit the bear. He made the bear angry and confused. He gave Lily and Ben a chance to escape.
+
+"Good boy, Spot, good boy!" Lily and Ben said. They hugged and kissed him. They were happy and grateful.
+
+They followed Spot back to the village. He knew the way. He led them to their home. Their parents were waiting for them. They were worried and angry.
+
+"Where have you been, Lily and Ben?" their mother asked. "We have been looking for you everywhere. You should not go into the woods. It is dangerous. You could have been hurt or lost."
+
+"We are sorry, mom," Lily and Ben said. "We were chasing a butterfly. It was delicate and pretty. But then we got lost and met a bear. It was big and angry. It wanted to eat us. But Spot saved us. He was brave and loyal. He barked and bit the bear. He made the bear go away. He brought us home. He is our hero."
+
+Their mother hugged and kissed them. She was glad and relieved. She was also proud of Spot. She gave him a bone and a pat. He wagged his tail and licked her face. He was happy and satisfied.
+
+They all went inside and had some soup and bread. They were hungry and thirsty. They thanked Spot for saving them. They learned their lesson. They never chased butterflies again. They stayed in the village and played safely. They loved each other and their dog. They were a happy family.

+Anna and Ben are twins. They share a room and a bed. Every night, they lie in bed and tell stories. They like stories about animals, princesses, and pirates. But they do not like stories about monsters.
+
+One night, Ben says, "Anna, I have a new story. It is about a monster that lives under our bed. It is big and hairy and has sharp teeth. It waits until we sleep and then it comes out and eats us."
+
+Anna feels scared. She says, "Ben, stop it. That is a bad story. There is no monster under our bed. You are making it up."
+
+Ben says, "No, I am not. I saw it last night. It had red eyes and a long tail. It was very quiet and sneaky. It almost got me, but I hid under the blanket."
+
+Anna says, "Ben, you are lying. You are trying to scare me. You are mean. I do not want to hear your story. I want to sleep."
+
+Ben says, "Fine. But do not say I did not warn you. The monster is real and it is hungry. Good night, Anna."
+
+Anna says, "Good night, Ben."
+
+They both close their eyes and try to sleep. But Anna feels a cold breeze on her feet. She opens her eyes and sees a shadow under the bed. She hears a growl and a sniff. She screams, "Ben, help! There is a monster under our bed!"
+
+Ben opens his eyes and sees the shadow too. He says, "I told you, Anna. It is the monster. It is here to eat us. What do we do?"
+
+Anna says, "I do not know, Ben. I am sorry I did not believe you. I am scared."
+
+Ben says, "Me too, Anna. But we have to be brave. We have to fight the monster. We have to stick together."
+
+They grab their pillows and throw them at the shadow. They yell, "Go away, monster! Leave us alone! We are not afraid of you!"
+
+The shadow moves and makes a loud noise. It is not a growl. It is a laugh. It is not a monster. It is their dad. He comes out from under the bed and says, "Got you, kids! That was a good prank. Did you like my monster costume?"
+
+Anna and Ben are angry and relieved. They say, "Dad, that was not funny. That was mean. You scared us. You are a bad monster."
+
+Their dad says, "I am sorry, kids. I was just joking. I love you. You are very brave. You did a good job fighting the monster. Can you forgive me?"
+
+Anna and Ben look at each other and nod. They say, "We forgive you, dad. But do not do that again. We love you too. But you are still a bad monster."
+
+Their dad says, "OK, OK. I promise. No more monster pranks. Now, let's hug and go to sleep. Good night, kids."
+
+Anna and Ben say, "Good night, dad."
+
+They hug their dad and lie in bed. They feel safe and happy. They do not have bad dreams. They have good dreams. They dream about animals, princesses, and pirates. And no monsters.
+Sara and Ben were twins who liked to play in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They gave him a carrot nose and two rocks for eyes. They were very happy with their snowman.
+
+But then they saw a wild dog running towards them. The dog was big and black and had sharp teeth. He looked hungry and angry. He wanted to eat the snowman's nose and scarf. Sara and Ben were scared of the dog. They ran to their house and locked the door.
+
+They told their mom about the wild dog. Mom said they were brave and smart to lock the door. She made them some hot cocoa to warm them up. She put marshmallows and whipped cream on top. Sara and Ben loved cocoa. They drank it and felt cozy and safe.
+
+They looked out the window and saw the wild dog. He was still trying to get the snowman's nose and scarf. He barked and jumped and scratched. But he could not reach them. The snowman was too tall and the door was too strong.
+
+Sara and Ben smiled and hugged their mom. They were glad they had each other and their mom and their cocoa. They hoped the wild dog would find a nice home and some food. But they did not want him to come back and bother their snowman.
+Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to go to the zoo. They wanted to see the gorilla, who was enormous and hairy. They ran to the cage where the gorilla lived and looked for him.
+
+"Where is he?" Tim asked.
+
+"Maybe he is hiding," Sam said.
+
+They saw a big pile of leaves in the corner of the cage. They thought the gorilla was under the leaves. They climbed over the fence and went inside the cage. They wanted to surprise the gorilla.
+
+They reached the pile of leaves and started to pull them away. They shivered because it was cold and wet. They heard a loud roar from behind them. They turned around and saw the gorilla. He was angry and scary. He had big teeth and claws. He did not like the boys in his cage.
+
+"Help!" Tim and Sam screamed.
+
+But it was too late. The gorilla grabbed them and threw them in the air. They landed on the ground and did not move. The gorilla roared again and went back to his pile of leaves. He was happy and warm.
+
+The end.
+Sara and Ben wanted to play soccer with their friends. They put on their shoes and ran to the park. But when they got there, they saw that the sky was dark and the grass was wet. It looked like it was going to rain soon.
+
+"Let's go back home," Ben said. "It's too gloomy to play soccer."
+
+"No, I want to play," Sara said. "We can be on the same team and have fun."
+
+Ben shook his head. He did not like the cold and the mud. He refused to play soccer with Sara. He said he wanted to watch TV instead.
+
+Sara was sad. She did not want to watch TV. She wanted to play soccer with her friends. She tried to convince Ben to change his mind, but he was stubborn. He said he was not going to play.
+
+Sara decided to play soccer by herself. She kicked the ball around the park, pretending that she had a team. She scored many goals and cheered. She did not care about the gloomy weather. She was having fun.
+
+Soon, some of her friends came to the park. They saw Sara playing soccer and asked her if she wanted to join them. Sara was happy. She said yes and ran to them. They made two teams and played soccer together. They had a lot of fun.
+
+Ben watched them from the window. He felt bored and lonely. He wished he had played soccer with Sara. He realized that he had made a mistake. He decided to put on his shoes and go to the park. He hoped that Sara and her friends would let him join their team. He wanted to have fun too.

+
+Tom shook his head and said, "No, Lily, these are my toys. You can't touch them. Go away!"
+
+Lily felt hurt and angry. She said, "But Tom, it's not nice to be so selfish. You should share your toys with me. We are brother and sister. We should play together."
+
+Tom said, "No, no, no! I don't want to share. I don't want to play with you. You are annoying. Leave me alone!"
+
+Lily tried to take the green dinosaur from Tom. She liked dinosaurs. She said, "Please, Tom, let me play with the dinosaur. It's so cute. I'll give it back to you later."

+Tom said, "No, Lily, it's mine! Give it back to me!" He pulled the dinosaur from Lily's hand. He pushed Lily away. Lily fell on the floor. She cried.

+
+He spun and spun and spun. He felt the gold thing move on his chest. He liked how it sparkled and made a sound. He did not see his mom come in. She saw him with her necklace and gasped.
+
+"Ben, what are you doing? That's my special necklace! It's very old and very precious! You can't spin it like that!" she said.

+Ben stopped spinning. He felt scared and sorry. He did not know it was his mom's special necklace. He thought it was just a shiny thing. He took it off and gave it to her.
+
+"I'm sorry, mom. I like to spin. I did not want to hurt your necklace," he said.
+
+His mom hugged him and smiled. She was not angry. She was glad he did not break it.
+
+"I know, Ben. You like to spin. But some things are not for spinning. They are for keeping and loving. This necklace was my grandma's. She gave it to me when I was little. It's very special to me. Do you understand?" she said.
+
+Ben nodded. He understood. He did not want to spin his mom's special necklace anymore. He wanted to keep it and love it too.
+
+"Can I see it, mom? Can I touch it?" he asked.
+
+"Of course, Ben. You can see it and touch it. But gently, okay? And only when I'm with you. It's our secret necklace. We can share it and love it together," she said.
+
+Ben smiled. He liked that idea. He liked his mom's special necklace. He liked his mom. He still liked to spin. But he learned that some things are not for spinning. They are for keeping and loving. And that was impressive too.

+
+She ran to her grandma's room with her string bird in her hand. She wanted to surprise her and make her smile. But when she opened the door, she saw that her grandma was asleep and had a mask on her face. There was a big machine next to her bed that made a loud noise.
+
+Lily was scared and worried. She did not know what was wrong with her grandma. She did not want to wake her up or make her feel worse. She did not know what to do with her string bird.
+
+She tiptoed to her grandma's bedside and gently placed her string bird on her pillow. She whispered, "I love you, grandma. I made this for you. I hope you get better soon."
+
+Then she turned around and saw her mom standing in the doorway. Her mom smiled and hugged her. She said, "You are such a sweet and gifted girl, Lily. Your grandma will love your string bird. She is just resting and getting some help from the machine. She will be okay. Don't worry."
+
+Lily felt a little better. She hugged her mom back and said, "Thank you, mom. I love you too. Can I stay with grandma until she wakes up?"
+
+Her mom nodded and said, "Of course, honey. You can stay with grandma and keep her company. Maybe you can tell her a story or sing her a song. She will be happy to hear your voice."
+
+Lily smiled and climbed on the bed next to her grandma. She held her hand and started to tell her about how she made the string bird. She hoped that her grandma could hear her and feel her love. She hoped that her string bird would bring her some joy.

+
+"Get away from here, kid!" the hunter yelled. "This is my land and my game. You have no right to question me!" He raised his gun at Tim and his dog. Tim was very afraid. He wished he had listened to his mom and dad.
+
+But then, something happened. The deer was not dead. It was only hurt. It got up and ran away. The hunter was shocked and missed his shot. The dog barked and chased the deer. The hunter ran after them, leaving his gun behind.
+
+Tim saw his chance and ran away too. He ran back to his mom and dad, who were looking for him. They were very worried and angry. They hugged him and scolded him.

They told him he should be more careful and obedient.
+
+Tim learned his lesson. He was sorry and ashamed. He promised to be a good boy and listen to his mom and dad. He realized that being restless and curious can be dangerous and wrong. He decided to be more calm and wise. He never followed a hunter again.

+
+"No, no, no. Go away, Ben. This is my leaf. You can't have it," Sara said. She was very stubborn. She liked to insist.
+
+Ben was sad. He did not like to fight with Sara. He walked away from her. He looked for another leaf. He found a small leaf that was green and round. It was not very pretty or crunchy. But it was his leaf.
+
+"Look, Sara, I found a leaf too. It's small and green. Do you want to see it?" Ben said. He was very kind. He wanted to be friends with Sara.

+Sara and Ben hugged each other. They were very sweet. They showed each other their leaves. They talked about their leaves. They made a pile of leaves. They jumped in the pile of leaves. They laughed and giggled. They had a lot of fun. It was a mild day. It was a good day.
+Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play with trains. They had many toy trains and tracks in their room. One day, they saw a big sign outside a store. It said, "New Train Station Set. Only $10. Come and see!"
+
+Lily and Ben ran to the store with their mom. They saw the train station set in the window. It was lovely. It had a red station, a blue train, and many people and animals. Lily and Ben wanted to buy it.
+
+"Mom, can we have the train station set, please?" they asked.
+
+Mom looked at the price tag. She shook her head. "I'm sorry, my dears, but we don't have enough money for that. Maybe another time."
+
+Lily and Ben felt sad. They walked away from the store. They saw a boy sitting on the sidewalk. He had a dirty shirt and no shoes. He looked hungry and cold. He had a small toy car in his hand.
+
+"Hello," Lily said to the boy. "What is your name?"
+
+The boy looked up. He smiled. "My name is Sam. What is yours?"
+
+"I'm Lily and this is Ben. We like trains. Do you like cars?"
+
+Sam nodded. "Yes, I do. This is my only toy. I found it in the trash."
+
+Lily and Ben felt sorry for Sam. They looked at each other. They had an idea.
+
+"Sam, would you like to play with us?" Ben asked.
+
+Sam's eyes lit up. "Yes, I would. Thank you."
+
+Lily and Ben took Sam to their home. They showed him their toy trains and tracks. They played together for a long time. They had fun.

+
+Lily and Ben smiled. They agreed. They learned that happiness is not in things, but in people. They were happy.
+One day, a fat crocodile wanted to dress up like a bird. He found some feathers and a beak and put them on his body. He looked at himself in the water and said, "I am a pretty bird now. I can fly and sing."
+
+He went to the forest and saw some birds on a tree. He tried to fly up to them, but he was too heavy. He fell down and hurt his nose. The birds saw him and laughed. They said, "You are not a bird. You are a silly crocodile. You cannot fly or sing. You only have a fake beak and feathers."
+
+The fat crocodile felt sad and angry. He said, "I am not silly. I am smart and brave. I can do anything I want. I will show you." He took off his beak and feathers and ran after the birds. He wanted to eat them.
+
+But the birds were faster and smarter. They flew away and hid in the bushes. They said, "You are not smart or brave. You are foolish and greedy. You cannot catch us. You only have a big mouth and teeth."
+
+The fat crocodile felt tired and hungry. He said, "I am not foolish or greedy. I am hungry and lonely. I want some friends." He went back to the river and saw some other crocodiles. They said, "Hello, fat crocodile. Where have you been? We missed you."
+
+The fat crocodile felt happy and sorry. He said, "Hello, friends. I have been in the forest. I wanted to be a bird, but I was not. I was silly and mean. I am sorry." He hugged his friends and said, "I am a crocodile and I like it. You are my friends and I love you."
+Sara was restless. She did not want to sleep in her crib. She wanted to play with her toys and books. She cried and kicked her blanket.
+
+"Shh, Sara, it's bedtime. You need to sleep," Mom said. She came to Sara's crib and picked her up. She hugged her and rocked her.
+
+"No, no, no, Mom. I want to play. I want to display my toys. See, I have a bear, and a doll, and a truck," Sara said. She pointed to her toys on the shelf.
+
+"I see, Sara. You have very nice toys. But you can display them tomorrow. Now you need to rest your eyes and your body. Sleep is good for you," Mom said. She put Sara back in her crib and tucked her in.
+
+"Please, Mom, one more story. Just one more," Sara said. She looked at Mom with big eyes.
+
+"Okay, Sara. One more story. But then you have to sleep, okay?" Mom said. She smiled and picked a book from the shelf. She sat on a chair next to Sara's crib and read her a story about a princess and a dragon.
+
+Sara listened to the story. She liked the princess and the dragon. She imagined she was the princess and had a dragon friend. She felt sleepy and yawned.

+
+"Ready, set, go!" they shouted together.
+
+Lily and Ben pressed the buttons and watched their toys race across the room. The doll and the car were both very fast, but the car was a little faster. It reached the other side of the room first.
+

+Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play in the living room. They have many toys and books. But they also like to sit on the couch. The couch is long and soft. They can stretch their legs and watch TV.
+
+One day, Sara and Ben are playing with their dolls. They pretend they are a family. Sara is the mom and Ben is the dad. They have a baby doll and a dog doll. They make voices for them.
+
+"Mom, I want some milk," the baby doll says.
+
+"OK, honey, I will get you some milk," Sara says. She goes to the kitchen and gets a bottle.
+
+"Dad, I want to play fetch," the dog doll says.
+
+"OK, boy, I will throw you a ball," Ben says. He goes to the toy box and gets a ball.
+
+Sara and Ben come back to the living room. They see that the couch is empty. They are happy. They can sit on the couch and cuddle with their dolls.
+
+But then they hear a noise. It is their big brother, Tom. He is coming down the stairs. He is holding a book.
+
+"Hey, what are you doing?" Tom says. He sees the couch and smiles. He likes to read on the couch. The couch is long and comfy. He can lie down and relax.
+
+"Tom, we want to sit on the couch," Sara says.
+
+"Yeah, we were here first," Ben says.
+
+"Sorry, kids, I want to sit on the couch too," Tom says. He walks to the couch and puts his book on it.
+
+Sara and Ben are sad. They don't want to share the couch. They want to have it for themselves. They look at each other. They have an idea.
+
+They run to the couch and jump on it. They push Tom off the couch. They laugh and hug their dolls.
+
+"Hey, that's not fair!" Tom says. He tries to get back on the couch.
+
+But Sara and Ben are stronger. They hold on to the couch. They say, "No, this is our couch!"
+
+Tom is angry. He wants to read his book. He wants to sit on the couch. He looks around. He sees another couch. It is in the corner. It is smaller and harder. He doesn't like it. But he has no choice.
+
+He goes to the other couch and sits on it. He opens his book and tries to read. But he is not happy. He looks at Sara and Ben. They are happy. They are on the long and soft couch. They are playing with their dolls.
+
+Tom sighs. He wishes he had a twin.
+Ben and Mia are playing in the park. They see a big dog with a red bow on its neck. The dog is friendly and wags its tail.
+
+"Hello, doggy!" Ben says. He wants to pet the dog, but he is a little scared.
+
+"Can I touch your bow?" Mia asks. She likes the red bow. It is pretty and shiny.
+
+The dog nods and licks Mia's hand. Mia smiles and strokes the bow. She finds a whistle under the bow. It is small and yellow.
+
+"Look, Ben, a whistle!" Mia says. She shows the whistle to Ben.
+
+"Wow, interesting!" Ben says. He wants to try the whistle, but he is polite.
+
+"Can I blow the whistle?" Ben asks.
+
+The dog nods again and wags its tail. Ben takes the whistle and puts it in his mouth. He blows hard and makes a loud sound.
+
+"Woof, woof!" The dog barks. He likes the sound. He jumps and runs around.
+
+"Ha, ha, ha!" Ben and Mia laugh. They play with the dog and the whistle. They have fun in the park.
+Mia and Leo were playing in the garden. They liked to look at the flowers and the bugs. Mia saw a daisy that was broken. She felt sad.
+
+"Look, Leo, this daisy is broken. Someone stepped on it," Mia said.
+
+Leo looked at the daisy. He had an idea. He ran to the shed and came back with a roll of tape.
+
+"I can repair the daisy, Mia. Watch me," Leo said.
+
+He took a piece of tape and wrapped it around the stem of the daisy. He tried to make it stand up again.
+
+"See, Mia, the daisy is not broken anymore. It is happy," Leo said.
+
+Mia smiled. She thanked Leo for repairing the daisy. She gave him a hug.
+
+They heard a noise from the shed. It sounded like a growl. They felt scared.
+
+"What is that, Leo? Is there a monster in the shed?" Mia asked.
+
+Leo shook his head. He was curious. He wanted to see what was in the shed.
+
+"Let's go and see, Mia. Maybe it is something mysterious," Leo said.
+
+He took Mia's hand and they walked to the shed. They opened the door and looked inside.
+
+They saw a big dog. It was brown and fluffy. It had a collar with a tag. It said "Rex".
+
+The dog wagged its tail. It licked Mia and Leo's faces. It was friendly.
+
+"Hello, Rex. Are you lost?" Mia asked.
+
+The dog barked. It nodded.
+
+Mia and Leo were happy. They had found a new friend. They decided to take Rex to their house and ask their mom if they could keep him. They hoped she would say yes. They loved Rex. He was a mysterious dog.
+Tim and Kim are twins. They like to play with toys and books. But sometimes they fight over things. One day, they see a phone on the table. It is Mom's phone. It has many buttons and colors.
+
+"Let me play with the phone!" Tim says. He grabs the phone and runs away.
+
+"No, it is my turn!" Kim says. She runs after Tim and tries to get the phone.
+
+They run and run until they bump into Dad. Dad is angry. He takes the phone from Tim.
+
+"What are you doing with Mom's phone?" Dad asks. "This is not a toy. You could break it or call someone by mistake."
+
+"Sorry, Dad," Tim says. He feels bad.
+
+"Sorry, Dad," Kim says. She feels bad too.
+
+Dad gives them a hug. He says, "It is okay to be curious, but you have to be careful and respectful. Mom needs her phone for work and emergencies. Why don't you play with something else?"
+
+He gives them a box of blocks. Tim and Kim smile. They say, "Thank you, Dad."
+
+They go to the living room and start to build a tower with the blocks. They share and help each other. They have fun.
+
+They see a soft pillow on the couch. They put the pillow on the floor and lie down. They are comfortable. They poke each other gently and giggle.
+
+They are happy. They learn to be nice and not fight over things. They love each other.
+Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the field near their house. They ran, jumped, and picked flowers. They had a lot of fun.
+
+One day, they saw a big box in the field. It was shiny and had a lock. They wondered what was inside. They wanted to open it.
+
+"Maybe there are toys or candy in the box," Lily said.
+
+"Maybe there are books or puzzles in the box," Ben said.
+
+They tried to open the lock, but it was too hard. They needed a key.
+
+"Look, there is a man over there," Lily said. "Maybe he has the key."
+
+They ran to the man. He was wearing a hat and a coat. He smiled at them.
+
+"Hello, little ones," he said. "Do you like the box?"
+
+"Yes, we do," Lily and Ben said. "Can you open it for us?"
+
+"Sure, I can," the man said. "But you have to do something for me first."
+
+"What do we have to do?" Lily and Ben asked.
+
+"You have to tell me a lie," the man said. "A big, silly lie. Then I will give you the key."
+
+Lily and Ben looked at each other. They did not like to lie. They knew it was bad. They wanted to be honest.
+
+"No, thank you," Lily said. "We don't want to lie."
+
+"Me neither," Ben said. "We don't need the key."
+
+The man frowned. He did not like their answer. He wanted to trick them.
+
+"Are you sure?" he said. "The box has something very special inside. Something you will love. Something you will never see again. Just tell me one lie, and it is yours."
+
+Lily and Ben shook their heads. They did not believe him. They did not want his key. They turned around and walked away.
+
+The man was angry. He shouted at them. He threw his hat and coat on the ground. He was not a man at all. He was a fox. He had a tail and ears and sharp teeth. He wanted to eat Lily and Ben. He had put the box in the field to lure them.
+
+But Lily and Ben were too smart. They saw the fox appear. They ran as fast as they could. They reached their house and told their mom what happened.
+
+Their mom hugged them and praised them. She was proud of them. She said they were brave and honest. She said they did the right thing.
+
+Lily and Ben smiled. They were happy. They learned a lesson. They did not need the box. They had each other. They were best friends.
+Sara and Ben wanted to celebrate their mom's birthday. They decided to make a cake for her. They found a box of cake mix and a big bowl in the kitchen. They poured the mix into the bowl and added some water and eggs.
+
+"Let's use the mixer to make the cake smooth," Sara said. She plugged in the mixer and turned it on. The mixer was very loud and fast. It made the cake mix fly out of the bowl and onto the floor, the table, and the walls.
+
+"Uh-oh," Ben said. "We made a big mess. Mom will be mad at us."
+
+Sara turned off the mixer and looked at the mess. She felt sad and scared. She did not want to make mom mad. She wanted to make her happy.
+
+"Maybe we can clean it up before mom comes home," she said. She grabbed a towel and tried to wipe the cake mix off the floor. Ben helped her with another towel. They worked hard to clean the kitchen.
+
+But mom came home sooner than they expected. She opened the door and saw the cake mix everywhere. She looked at Sara and Ben with a harsh face.
+
+"What did you do?" she asked. She sounded angry and disappointed.
+
+Sara and Ben dropped their towels and ran to mom. They hugged her and said, "We're sorry, mom. We wanted to celebrate your birthday. We wanted to make you a cake. But the mixer was too loud and fast. It made a big mess. Please don't be mad at us. We love you."
+
+Mom looked at Sara and Ben. She saw their sad and scared eyes. She felt their love and hugs. She softened her face and sighed.
+
+"I'm not mad at you," she said. "I know you meant well. But you should not use the mixer without my help. It can be dangerous and messy. Next time, ask me first, okay?"
+
+"Okay, mom," Sara and Ben said.
+
+Mom smiled and said, "Thank you for wanting to celebrate my birthday. You are very sweet and thoughtful. How about we order some pizza and ice cream instead of cake? And then we can watch a movie together. How does that sound?"
+
+Sara and Ben cheered and said, "That sounds great, mom. Happy birthday. We love you."
+
+Mom hugged them and said, "I love you too. You are the best gift I ever had."
+Lily had a new dress. It was pink and had flowers on it. She liked it very much. She wanted to show it to her friend Anna.
+
+She went to Anna's house and knocked on the door. Anna opened it and smiled.
+
+"Hi, Lily! What do you have?" Anna asked.
+
+"Look at my dress! It is new and lovely!" Lily said. She twirled around to show Anna.
+
+Anna clapped her hands. "Wow, it is lovely! I like the flowers. Who made it for you?"
+
+"My grandma made it. She is good at sewing. She used a needle and a thread. She made a stitch here and a stitch there. See?" Lily pointed at the dress.
+
+Anna nodded. "I see. Your grandma is very nice. Can I try it on?"
+
+Lily thought for a moment. She liked her dress, but she also liked Anna. She wanted to share with her friend.
+
+"Okay, you can try it on. But be careful. Don't rip it or stain it. It is my favorite dress." Lily said.
+
+"Thank you, Lily. I will be careful. You are a good friend." Anna said.
+
+They went inside Anna's house and swapped dresses. They looked at each other and giggled. They felt happy and pretty. They decided to play tea party with their dolls. They had a lot of fun.
+Anna and Ben are playing with their toy cars in the garden. They have a big tank that can shoot water at the other cars. They pretend they are in a war and make loud noises.
+
+"Bang! Bang! You are hit, Ben!" Anna says, as she sprays water at Ben's car.
+
+"No, I am not! You missed, Anna!" Ben says, as he dodges the water and tries to shoot back.
+
+They have a lot of fun, but soon the tank runs out of water. They look for a supply of water to fill it up again.
+
+"Look, there is a hose over there!" Anna says, pointing to the corner of the garden.
+
+"Good idea, Anna! Let's go get it!" Ben says, as he runs to the hose.
+
+They drag the hose to the tank and turn on the tap. The water comes out fast and fills up the tank. They are happy and ready to play some more.
+
+But then, something incredible happens. The tank starts to move by itself! It turns around and shoots water at Anna and Ben. They are surprised and wet.
+
+"Hey, stop it, tank! You are not supposed to do that!" Anna says, as she tries to stop the tank.
+
+"Help, help, tank is crazy!" Ben says, as he runs away from the tank.
+
+The tank chases them around the garden, spraying water everywhere. Anna and Ben are scared and laugh at the same time. They wonder how the tank became alive and what they can do to stop it.
+Lily was miserable. She wanted to cook with Mommy, but Mommy said no. Mommy said Lily was too little to cook. Mommy said Lily could play with her toys or watch TV. But Lily did not want to play with her toys or watch TV. She wanted to cook.
+
+Lily had an idea. She saw a bulb on the table. It was a big, round, yellow bulb. It looked like an onion. Lily thought it was an onion. Lily took the bulb and ran to the kitchen. She found a knife and a cutting board. She wanted to cut the bulb like Mommy did.
+
+But the bulb was not an onion. It was a lemon. When Lily cut the bulb, it squirted juice in her eyes. It hurt a lot. It was sour and bitter. Lily cried and dropped the knife and the bulb. She rubbed her eyes and ran to Mommy.
+
+Mommy heard Lily cry and came to the kitchen. She saw the mess and the bulb and the knife. She was angry and scared. She hugged Lily and checked her eyes. She said, "Lily, what did you do? This is not an onion, this is a lemon. You could have hurt yourself with the knife. You should never touch the knife. You should never cook without me. You are too little to cook."
+
+Lily sobbed and said, "I'm sorry, Mommy. I wanted to cook with you. I wanted to help you. I thought it was an onion. It was a bad bulb. It hurt me."
+
+Mommy sighed and said, "I know, Lily. I know you wanted to cook with me. But cooking is not a game. It can be dangerous. You have to wait until you are bigger and I can teach you. Then we can cook together. OK?"
+
+Lily nodded and said, "OK, Mommy. I'm sorry. I love you."
+
+Mommy smiled and said, "I love you too, Lily. Come on, let's wash your eyes and clean up the kitchen. Then we can have some cookies and milk. How does that sound?"
+
+Lily smiled and said, "That sounds good, Mommy. Thank you."
+
+Mommy and Lily washed their eyes and cleaned up the kitchen. Then they had some cookies and milk. Lily was not miserable anymore. She was happy. She learned a lesson. She learned that a bulb can be a lemon. And she learned that cooking is not for little kids.
+Anna loves to sing. She sings all day and all night. She wants to be a famous singer like her mommy. Mommy sings on TV and on big stages. Mommy has many fans who clap and cheer for her.
+
+One day, Anna sees a poster for a talent show. The poster says, "Do you have a dream? Show us your talent and win a prize!" Anna thinks, "This is my chance to be a famous singer like mommy!" She tells mommy she wants to join the talent show. Mommy smiles and says, "OK, Anna, you can join. But you have to practice hard and be brave."
+
+Anna practices every day. She sings her favorite songs in front of the mirror. She pretends she is on TV and on big stages. She feels happy and excited.
+
+The day of the talent show comes. Anna wears a pretty dress and a shiny bow. She holds a microphone and waits for her turn. She sees many other kids who have different talents. Some dance, some play instruments, some tell jokes. Anna feels nervous and scared.
+
+When her name is called, she walks to the stage. She sees many people who watch her. She hears them whisper and murmur. She feels her heart beat fast and her hands shake. She opens her mouth to sing, but no sound comes out. She tries again, but she stumbles on the words. She feels tears in her eyes. She hears some people laugh and boo. She runs off the stage and cries.
+
+Mommy hugs her and says, "It's OK, Anna, it's OK. You did your best. You are still my famous singer. I love you." Anna hugs mommy and says, "I love you too, mommy. I'm sorry I messed up." Mommy says, "Don't be sorry, Anna. You are brave and strong. You have a dream and you tried to make it come true. That's what matters. Maybe next time you will do better. But no matter what, you are always my star." Anna smiles and says, "Thank you, mommy. You are my star too."
+Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to dig holes and make mud pies. They saw a big drain near the fence. It had a metal cover with holes in it.
+
+"Look, a drain!" Tom said. "I wonder what is inside."
+
+"Maybe there are rats or spiders or worms," Lily said. "I don't want to go near it."
+
+Tom was curious. He wanted to see the drain. He lifted the cover with his hands. It was heavy and dirty. He saw a dark hole with water and rubbish.
+
+"Wow, a drain!" Tom said. "Come and see, Lily. It is cool."
+
+Lily was scared. She did not want to see the drain. She stayed away from it.
+
+"Tom, be careful," Lily said. "The drain is dangerous. You might fall in or get hurt."
+
+Tom did not listen. He was stupid. He leaned over the hole to look closer. He lost his balance and slipped. He fell into the drain with a splash.
+
+"Help, help!" Tom cried. "I am in the drain. It is wet and cold and smelly."
+
+Lily heard Tom's cry. She ran to the drain. She saw Tom's head and arms sticking out of the hole. He was wet and dirty and scared.
+
+"Tom, Tom, are you okay?" Lily asked. "I will get help. Don't move."
+
+Lily ran to the house. She told their mum what happened. Mum was angry and worried. She grabbed a rope and followed Lily to the drain. She saw Tom in the hole. She threw the rope to him.
+
+"Tom, grab the rope," Mum said. "I will pull you out. You are very silly. You should not have gone near the drain."
+
+Tom grabbed the rope. Mum pulled him out. He was safe but sorry. He hugged Mum and Lily. He said he was sorry. He learned his lesson. He never went near the drain again.
+Tom and Mia were playing in the park. They liked to pretend they were a prince and a princess, and they had a castle made of sticks and stones. They also had a toy gun that could shoot water.
+
+"Look out, princess Mia!" Tom shouted. "There is a dragon coming to attack our castle!"
+
+Mia looked around and saw a big dog running towards them. It was not a dragon, but it was scary and loud. Mia grabbed the toy gun and aimed at the dog.
+
+"Bang! Bang!" Mia said, as she shot water at the dog. The dog stopped and shook its head. It did not like the water. It turned around and ran away.
+
+"Wow, princess Mia, you are so tough!" Tom said. "You saved our castle from the dragon!"
+
+Mia smiled and hugged Tom. "Thank you, prince Tom, for warning me. You are very brave too!"
+
+They laughed and continued to play in their castle, happy and safe.
+Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big cross on a hill. It was shiny and white. They wanted to go closer and see it.
+
+"Let's go, Ben!" Anna said. "Maybe we can find a treasure there!"
+
+"OK, Anna!" Ben said. "But we have to be careful. The hill is steep and rocky."
+
+They put on their shoes and hats and ran to the hill. They climbed and climbed, holding hands. They saw birds and flowers and bugs on the way. They were happy and curious.
+
+When they reached the top, they gazed at the cross. It was incredible. It was taller than them and had a circle around it. It looked like a star. They touched it and felt its smoothness.
+
+"Wow, Anna, this is amazing!" Ben said. "Do you think someone made it?"
+
+"I don't know, Ben," Anna said. "Maybe it was here for a long time. Maybe it is a sign of something good."
+
+They hugged each other and smiled. They felt a warm breeze and heard a soft voice.
+
+"Hello, children," the voice said. "You have found my cross. I am glad you are here. You are brave and kind. I have a gift for you."
+
+They looked around and saw a bright light. They felt a tingling in their hearts. They wondered what the gift was. They were not afraid. They were excited.
+Ben and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and hide behind the hedge. The hedge was big and green and had many birds and bugs inside.
+
+One day, they saw a big stick on the ground. Ben picked it up and said, "Look, Lily, I have a sword! I can strike anything I want!"
+
+Lily said, "No, Ben, that is not a sword. That is a stick. You cannot strike anything you want. You might hurt someone or something."
+
+Ben did not listen to Lily. He swung the stick around and said, "I am a knight! I can strike the hedge and the birds and the bugs!"
+
+He ran to the hedge and hit it with the stick. The hedge shook and made a loud noise. The birds and the bugs flew out and were angry. They buzzed and pecked and bit Ben. Ben dropped the stick and cried.
+
+Lily ran to Ben and said, "I told you, Ben, you cannot strike anything you want. Now you are dirty and hurt and the hedge and the birds and the bugs are mad at you. You should say sorry and be nice."
+
+Ben said, "I am sorry, Lily. I am sorry, hedge. I am sorry, birds. I am sorry, bugs. I was not nice. I will not strike anything again. Can we still play?"
+
+Lily said, "Yes, Ben, we can still play. But next time, listen to me and be careful. And do not use a stick as a sword. Use a toy sword or your hand."
+
+Ben said, "OK, Lily. You are smart and kind. You are my best friend."
+
+They hugged and went to play again. They had fun and did not strike anything. The hedge and the birds and the bugs were happy too.
+Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play with their big red ball. They can bounce it high and catch it. They can roll it and kick it. They can throw it and hit it. They have a lot of fun with their ball.
+
+One day, they are playing with their ball in the living room. Mom is in the kitchen. She is making coffee. She likes coffee. It makes her happy and awake. She tells Sara and Ben to be careful with their ball. She does not want them to break anything.
+
+Sara and Ben say okay. They try to be careful. But they are having too much fun. They bounce their ball harder and harder. They laugh and shout. They do not see the coffee table. The ball hits the coffee table. The coffee table shakes. The coffee cup falls. The coffee spills. The coffee is hot and brown. It makes a big mess.
+
+Mom hears the noise. She comes to the living room. She sees the coffee and the ball. She is not happy. She is angry and sad. She says to Sara and Ben: "What did you do? You made a big mess. You did not listen to me. You were not careful. You have to clean this up. And no more ball for today."
+
+Sara and Ben are sorry. They did not mean to make a mess. They did not mean to make Mom angry and sad. They say to Mom: "We are sorry, Mom. We were having fun. We did not see the coffee table. We will clean this up. We will be careful next time. We love you, Mom."
+
+Mom hugs Sara and Ben. She is still angry and sad. But she loves them too. She says to Sara and Ben: "I love you too, Sara and Ben. But you have to be more careful. Playing with a ball is not easy in the living room. There are many things that can break. Next time, play with your ball outside. Or play with something else inside. Okay?"
+
+Sara and Ben say okay. They help Mom clean the mess. They put away their ball. They find something else to play with. They play with their blocks. They can build and knock down. They can make shapes and colors. They have a lot of fun with their blocks. And they do not make a mess.
+Anna liked to make things with her hands. She had many colors of clay that she could shape and twist into different forms. She made animals, flowers, stars, and anything else she could imagine.
+
+One day, she wanted to make a special gift for her mom. She thought of what her mom liked, and decided to make a candle. She took some yellow clay and rolled it into a long snake. Then she twisted it into a spiral shape. She found a thin stick and pushed it into the clay to make a wick.
+
+She was very proud of her original candle. She put it on a plate and wrapped it with a ribbon. She wrote a card that said "I love you, Mom" and drew a heart. She hid the gift under her bed and waited for her mom to come home.
+
+When her mom came home, Anna ran to hug her and said "I have a surprise for you!" She took her mom to her room and showed her the gift. Her mom smiled and said "Wow, Anna, this is a beautiful candle! You are so creative and thoughtful. Thank you, my sweetie!"
+
+Anna was happy that her mom liked her gift. She asked her mom if they could light the candle and have a tea party. Her mom agreed and they went to the kitchen. They lit the candle and watched it glow. They drank tea and ate cookies and talked about their day. Anna felt warm and cozy. She loved her mom and her mom loved her.
+Tom and Lily are playing with their toys in the living room. Tom has a yellow car and Lily has a blue doll. They are having fun and making noises.
+
+"Vroom, vroom, my car is fast!" Tom says.
+
+"Hi, hi, my doll is pretty!" Lily says.
+
+Then, Tom sees a shiny coin on the table. He wants the coin. He puts down his car and runs to the table.
+
+"Wow, a coin! I want it!" Tom says.
+
+But Lily sees him and runs after him. She wants the coin too. She grabs his arm and pulls him back.
+
+"No, Tom, it's mine! I saw it first!" Lily says.
+
+They start to fight over the coin. They tug and push and shout.
+
+"Mine, mine, mine!" Tom says.
+
+"No, no, no!" Lily says.
+
+Mom hears them and comes to the living room. She sees them fighting and gets angry.
+
+"Stop, stop, stop!" Mom says. "What are you doing? Why are you fighting?"
+
+Tom and Lily stop and look at Mom. They are scared.
+
+"We want the coin, Mom!" Tom says.
+
+"We saw it first, Mom!" Lily says.
+
+Mom shakes her head and sighs. She picks up the coin and shows it to them.
+
+"Look, this is not a real coin. It is a toy coin. It is not worth anything. It is just for playing. You can share it or trade it or put it away. But you cannot fight over it. Fighting is bad. Do you understand?" Mom says.
+
+Tom and Lily nod and say sorry. They feel silly and ashamed.
+
+"Sorry, Mom," Tom says.
+
+"Sorry, Mom," Lily says.
+
+Mom smiles and hugs them. She gives them the coin and tells them to play nicely.
+
+"Here, you can have the coin. But be nice to each other. Share and take turns. And use your words, not your hands. OK?" Mom says.
+
+Tom and Lily say OK and thank Mom. They take the coin and go back to their toys. They decide to trade the coin for their car and doll. They are happy and play together.
+
+The end.
+Anna and Ben like to play with their vehicles. They have cars, trucks, buses and trains. They make them go fast and slow, and make noises like beep, honk and choo-choo. Sometimes they count how many vehicles they have.
+
+One day, they were playing with their vehicles on the floor, when a boy named Max came in. Max was rude. He did not ask if he could play with them. He just grabbed some of their vehicles and threw them around. He said they were his now.
+
+Anna and Ben were sad and angry. They did not like Max. They told him to stop and give back their vehicles. But Max did not listen. He laughed and said they were too small and silly to count. He said he had more vehicles than them.
+
+Anna and Ben did not give up. They knew how to count. They counted their vehicles together, loud and clear. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. They had ten vehicles. They showed them to Max.
+
+Max was surprised. He did not know how to count. He looked at his vehicles. He had only four. He felt ashamed and scared. He gave back Anna and Ben's vehicles and ran away.
+
+Anna and Ben were happy. They hugged each other and their vehicles. They said they were smart and kind. They said they liked to count and share. They continued to play with their vehicles and have fun.
+Tom was an ordinary boy who liked to play with his toys. He had many cars, trains, planes and animals that he kept in a big box. One day, his mom told him that they had to move to a new house, and he could not take all his toys with him. She said he had to sell some of them and give the money to people who needed it more.
+
+Tom was sad and angry. He did not want to sell his toys. He loved them all and wanted to keep them. He said to his mom, "No, no, no! I don't want to sell my toys! They are mine!"
+
+His mom hugged him and said, "I know, Tom, I know. But you have so many toys, and some other boys and girls have none. They would be very happy if you shared some of your toys with them. And you can still keep your favorite ones. How about we sell only the toys that you don't play with anymore?"
+
+Tom thought for a while. He looked at his big box of toys and saw some that he had not touched for a long time. He remembered that he had new toys that he liked more. He felt a little sorry for the other boys and girls who had no toys. He said to his mom, "OK, mom, I will sell some of my toys. But only some. And I will keep my best ones."
+
+His mom smiled and said, "That's very good, Tom. You are a very kind and generous boy. I'm proud of you. Come on, let's go to the park and find some buyers for your toys."
+
+Tom and his mom went to the park and set up a small table with a sign that said, "Toys for sale. Cheap and good." Many people came and looked at Tom's toys. Some of them bought one or two, and some of them gave Tom a hug and a thank you. Tom felt happy and proud. He sold some of his toys, but he still had his best ones. And he made some other boys and girls happy too. He learned that selling can be fun and good.
+Lily and Ben liked to play in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. One day, it rained a lot. The park was wet and muddy. Lily and Ben could not play there.
+
+They asked their mom if they could go to the library. Mom said yes. They put on their coats and boots. They walked to the library with mom. On the way, they saw a big puddle. It was like a small lake. Lily and Ben wanted to jump in it.
+
+"Can we jump in the puddle, mom?" they questioned.
+
+Mom shook her head. "No, you can't. The puddle is too deep. It is a flood. It can be dangerous. You might fall or get sick."
+
+Lily and Ben felt frustrated. They wanted to have fun. They did not like the flood. They pouted and walked on.
+
+They reached the library. It was warm and dry. There were many books and toys. Lily and Ben smiled. They forgot about the puddle. They found some books they liked. They sat on a cozy couch. They read and played. They had fun.
+
+Mom was happy. She read a book too. She was glad they were safe and happy. She hugged them and said, "I love you, Lily and Ben. You are good kids."
+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big box under a tree. They wonder what is inside.
+
+"Let's open it!" Tom says. He leads Mia to the box. He pulls the lid. Mia helps him.
+
+Inside the box, they find many things. They find books, toys, clothes, and food. They are happy. They want to try everything.
+
+"Look, a book with pictures!" Mia says. She opens the book. She sees animals, cars, and stars. She shows Tom.
+
+"Wow, cool!" Tom says. He takes a toy car. He makes it go vroom-vroom. He smiles.
+
+They also find food. They find bread, cheese, and jam. They are hungry. They want to eat.
+
+"Can we have some?" Tom asks. He takes a slice of bread. He puts cheese on it.
+
+"Sure, why not?" Mia says. She takes another slice. She puts jam on it.
+
+They bite their bread. They make yummy sounds. They like it.
+
+But then, they find something else. They find a jar with a red label. They do not know what it is.
+
+"What is this?" Mia asks. She picks up the jar. She reads the label. It says "spicy sauce".
+
+"Spicy sauce?" Tom says. He does not know what that means. He is curious. He wants to try it.
+
+He takes the jar from Mia. He opens it. He smells it. It smells strong. He dips his finger in it. He puts it in his mouth.
+
+He feels a fire in his mouth. He feels hot. He feels pain. He spits out the sauce. He cries.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Tom says. He runs to the fountain. He drinks water. He tries to cool his mouth.
+
+Mia sees Tom. She is scared. She does not want to try the sauce. She puts the jar back in the box. She runs to Tom. She hugs him.
+
+"I'm sorry, Tom. Are you okay?" Mia says. She feels sorry for Tom.
+
+Tom stops crying. He feels better. He hugs Mia back.
+
+"I'm okay, Mia. Thank you. That sauce is bad. It is too spicy. It hurts." Tom says. He feels silly.
+
+They decide to leave the box alone. They do not want to find more mystery things. They go back to their toys. They play together. They are friends.
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a pond with many fish and frogs. They wanted to catch some for fun.
+
+"Look, Lily, a big fish!" Tom said, pointing to the water. He took a stick and tried to poke the fish.
+
+"Stop, Tom, that is mean!" Lily said, pulling his arm. "The fish did not do anything bad to you. He just wants to swim and be happy."
+
+"But I want to catch him and see how he feels. Maybe he is tasty, too," Tom said, not listening to Lily.
+
+He poked the fish again, but the fish was fast and smart. He splashed water on Tom's face and made him fall into the pond. Tom was wet and cold and scared. He cried for help.
+
+Lily ran to him and helped him out of the pond. She hugged him and said, "Are you okay, Tom? I told you not to hurt the fish. He was angry and defended himself. You should be kind to animals, not mean."
+
+Tom was sorry and ashamed. He said, "You are right, Lily. I was mean and silly. I did not think about how the fish felt. I only thought about myself. I will not do that again. I will be kind to animals, like you."
+
+They went home and told their mom what happened. She was glad that they were safe and that Tom learned his lesson. She gave them some cookies and milk and said, "You are good children. I am proud of you. Now go to bed and have sweet dreams."
+
+Tom and Lily went to bed and thanked their mom. They dreamed of the pond and the fish and the frogs. They dreamed of being friends with them and playing with them. They dreamed of being kind and happy.
+Lily likes to polish her shoes. She has a red cloth and a shiny tin. She rubs the cloth on the tin and then on her shoes. She makes them look new and bright.
+
+She also likes to sing while she polishes. She has a rhythm in her head. She taps her foot and claps her hands. She sings a song about her shoes.
+
+"Polish, polish, polish, my shoes are very nice. Polish, polish, polish, they sparkle in the sun. Polish, polish, polish, I'm ready for some fun."
+
+Her brother Tom watches her from the door. He thinks she is silly. He does not like to polish his shoes. He likes to play with his ball and his truck. He does not care if his shoes are dirty or dull.
+
+He walks over to Lily and tries to take her cloth. He wants to wipe his ball with it. He says, "Give me that. I need it more than you. Your shoes are already shiny enough."
+
+Lily is angry. She does not want to share her cloth. She says, "No, Tom. This is mine. You have to be careful with it. It is for shoes, not for balls. Go away and leave me alone."
+
+They start to pull and tug on the cloth. They make a lot of noise. They do not hear their mom coming up the stairs. She sees them fighting and scolds them. She says, "Stop that, both of you. You are making a mess. Lily, you have to share your things. Tom, you have to respect your sister's things. And both of you, you have to polish your shoes before you go out. Now, say sorry to each other and finish your task."
+
+Lily and Tom look at each other. They feel ashamed. They say sorry to each other and hug. They decide to polish their shoes together. They also decide to sing together. They find a new rhythm and a new song.
+
+"Polish, polish, polish, we are a happy pair. Polish, polish, polish, we show each other care. Polish, polish, polish, we are ready for some fun."

+
+But the car is too little. Lily and Max are too big. They cannot fit in the car. They are sad. They want to drive the car.
+
+They have an idea. They lie down on the floor. They pretend the floor is the road. They hold the car in their hands. They make vroom vroom sounds. They pretend they are driving the car.
+
+They have fun. They laugh and smile. They drive the car to many places. They see trees and flowers and animals. They are happy. They like to play with gear.
+Lily was very scared of the dark. She always had bad dreams when she slept in her room. She saw monsters and ghosts and spiders that wanted to hurt her. She called them nightmares.
+
+One night, she had a very bad nightmare. She dreamed that a big, disgusting worm was crawling on her bed. It had many legs and eyes and teeth. It tried to bite her and make her its dinner. Lily screamed and woke up. She ran to her parents' room and knocked on the door.
+
+"Mama, Papa, help me! There is a worm in my bed!" she cried.
+
+Her parents opened the door and hugged her. They told her it was only a dream and there was no worm in her bed.
+
+"Are you sure?" Lily asked.
+
+"Yes, we are sure. Come, we will show you." They took her to her room and turned on the light. They lifted the blanket and displayed the bed. There was no worm, only her stuffed animals and pillows.
+
+"See, Lily? There is nothing to be afraid of. It was just your imagination." Her mother said.
+
+Lily felt a little better. She looked at her bed and saw her favorite teddy bear. She picked it up and hugged it.
+
+"Can I sleep with you tonight?" she asked.
+
+"Of course, sweetie. You can sleep with us anytime you want." Her father said.

+
+One day, it rained a lot. The park became very wet and muddy. Lily and Ben could not go outside. They were sad and bored. They looked out the window and saw a big flood. The water was high and fast. It covered the grass and the paths. They wondered if the birds and the flowers were okay.
+
+They heard a knock on the door. It was their neighbor, Mr. Lee. He had a big smile and a basket. He said, "Hello, Lily and Ben. I know you can't go to the park today, so I brought you some treats. Here are some cookies, some apples, and some books. You can share them and enjoy them inside. I hope you like them."
+
+Lily and Ben were very happy. They thanked Mr. Lee and took the basket. They gave him a hug and said, "You are very kind, Mr. Lee. We are grateful for your gifts. We will eat the cookies, the apples, and read the books. We will have fun inside."

+Mr. Lee waved goodbye and said, "You're welcome, Lily and Ben. I'm glad you're safe and happy. Maybe tomorrow the sun will come out and the flood will go away. Then you can go back to the park and see the birds and the flowers again. Have a good day."
+
+Lily and Ben smiled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Lee. Have a good day, too." They closed the door and went to the living room. They opened the basket and saw the cookies, the apples, and the books.

+
+"Look, Sam, what is that truck doing?" Tim asks.
+
+"I don't know, Tim. Maybe it is watering the grass," Sam says.
+
+They go closer to the truck. They see a man with a hat and a suit. The man is holding a clipboard. He is talking to another man who is driving the truck.
+
+"Hello, boys. Do you want to know what we are doing?" the man with the hat asks.
+
+"Yes, please," Tim and Sam say.
+
+"We are drilling for oil. Oil is a black liquid that we use for many things. We use oil to make gas for cars, and plastic for toys, and electricity for lights," the man with the hat explains.
+
+"Wow, that is cool. Can we see the oil?" Tim asks.
+
+"Sure, you can see the oil. But be careful, it is very hot and dirty. And it smells sour, like rotten eggs," the man with the hat warns.
+
+He shows them a small bottle with some oil inside. Tim and Sam look at the oil. It is black and thick. It smells sour. They make a face.
+
+"Yuck, I don't like the oil. It is gross," Tim says.
+
+"Me neither. I like water better. Water is clean and fresh. And it smells nice, like flowers," Sam says.
+
+They thank the man with the hat and run away from the truck. They go to the fountain and splash water on their faces. They laugh and have fun. They forget about the oil. They like the park.
+Anna and Ben like to play pretend. They have a big box of costumes and toys. Today, they pretend to be heroes. Anna wears a cape and a mask. Ben wears a hat and a badge. They run around the house and save the day.
+
+They see a teddy bear on the sofa. Anna says, "Oh no, the teddy is hurt! He needs a hero!" Ben says, "Don't worry, I am a hero! I have a badge!" He runs to the teddy and gives him a hug. He says, "You are safe now, teddy. I will take you to the doctor."
+
+They take the teddy to the kitchen. Anna says, "I am a hero too! I have a cape! I can fly!" She jumps off a chair and flies to the kitchen. She says, "I am the doctor. I can fix the teddy." She gets a band-aid and puts it on the teddy's paw. She says, "There, all better. You are a brave teddy."

+Anna and Ben liked to go to the library with their mom. They could find many books with pictures and stories there. They also liked to play with the toys and puzzles in the children's corner.
+
+One day, they saw a door that they had never seen before. It was behind a big shelf of books. It had a sign that said "Do not enter". It also had a lock on it.
+
+"What is behind that door?" Anna asked.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe it is a secret room," Ben said.
+
+"Let's find out," Anna said. She took a key from her mom's purse when she was not looking. She ran to the door and tried to unlock it.
+
+"Anna, wait! That is not our door. We should not open it," Ben said. He followed her and tried to stop her.
+
+But Anna was too curious. She turned the key and heard a click. She opened the door and saw a dark and dusty room. There were many old books and papers on the shelves and tables. There were also some strange things that they did not know what they were.
+
+"Wow, this is a mysterious room," Anna said. She stepped inside and looked around.
+
+"Anna, come back! This is not a good place to play. We might get in trouble," Ben said. He was scared and wanted to leave.
+
+But before they could go back, they heard a voice behind them.
+
+"Who are you? What are you doing here?" the voice said.
+
+They turned around and saw a man with glasses and a beard. He looked angry and surprised. He was the librarian.
+
+Anna and Ben were very sorry. They had made a big mistake. They dropped the key and ran out of the room. They found their mom and hugged her. They told her what they had done and said they were sorry.
+
+The librarian came out of the room and talked to their mom. He said they should not have opened the door. He said the room was his office and he had many important and rare things there. He said they could have damaged or lost them.
+
+Their mom said she was sorry too. She said she did not know they had taken her key. She said they were very curious and liked to explore. She said they would not do it again.
+
+The librarian said he understood. He said he was also curious when he was a child. He said he liked to read and learn new things. He said he would show them some of his books and papers if they promised to be careful and respectful.
+
+Anna and Ben said they promised. They said they were sorry again. They said they wanted to see his books and papers.
+
+The librarian smiled and nodded. He said he would unlock the door again and let them in. He said he would tell them some stories about his mysterious room.
+Lily likes to play with her toy car. She can make it go fast and slow, and turn left and right. She likes to pretend that she is driving to the park, or the zoo, or the beach.
+
+One day, she is playing with her toy car in her room, when she hears a knock on the door. It is her mom, who has a big smile on her face. She says, "Lily, I have a surprise for you. Come with me."
+
+Lily is curious and excited. She puts her toy car on her bed, and follows her mom to the living room. There, she sees a big box with a bow on it. Her mom says, "This is for you, Lily. Happy birthday!"
+
+Lily feels happy and hugs her mom. She says, "Thank you, mom. Can I open it?" Her mom nods and helps her tear the paper. Inside the box, Lily sees a shiny new toy train. It has many cars, and a red engine, and a button that makes it go.
+
+Lily loves her new toy train. She says, "Wow, mom, this is the best toy ever. Can I play with it?" Her mom says, "Of course, Lily. It is your toy. You can play with it as much as you want."
+
+Lily sets up the toy train on the floor, and starts to make it run. She can make it go fast and slow, and turn left and right. She likes to pretend that she is the conductor, and that she is taking people to different places. She is very busy and happy with her toy train. She forgets about her toy car on her bed. She only has eyes for her toy train.
+Anna loved to help her mom in the kitchen. She liked to stir, pour, and taste the yummy food. Mom said they were making a cake for dad's birthday. Anna was very enthusiastic. She wanted to make the best cake ever.
+
+Mom put the cake in the oven and set the timer. She told Anna to wait in the living room and watch some cartoons. Anna nodded, but she was too curious. She wanted to see the cake grow and smell the sweet aroma. She decided to sneak back to the kitchen when mom was not looking.
+
+She ran as fast as she could, but she did not see the cat on the floor. She tripped over the cat and fell down. The cat hissed and ran away. Anna cried out loud. Mom heard her and came running. She saw Anna on the floor and the cake in the oven. She was worried and angry.
+
+"Anna, what are you doing here? You could have burned yourself or ruined the cake. You should have listened to me and stayed in the living room. You are in big trouble, young lady." Mom scolded Anna.
+
+Anna felt sorry and ashamed. She did not mean to disobey mom or hurt the cat. She just wanted to see the cake. She looked at mom with big, tearful eyes and said, "I'm sorry, mom. I love you. I love dad. I love cake. Please don't be mad at me." Mom sighed and hugged Anna. She was still upset, but she loved Anna too. She said, "I love you too, Anna. But you have to learn to follow the rules and be careful. Now, let's go and check on the cake. Maybe it's still okay. Maybe dad will still like it. Maybe we can still have a happy birthday." Anna nodded and smiled. She hoped mom was right. She hoped the cake was good. She hoped dad was happy. She hoped the cat was not mad. She learned a lesson. She would not run to the kitchen again.
+Lily and Max are twins who love to dance. They have a big show at school tomorrow, and they want to practice their moves. They put on their favorite music and start to jump and spin in the living room.
+
+"Look at me, Lily!" Max says. "I can do a cartwheel!"
+
+"Wow, Max, you are good!" Lily says. "But you have to follow the rhythm. Listen to the beat!"
+
+Lily taps her foot and claps her hands. She shows Max how to move with the music. Max tries to copy her, but he is too fast or too slow.
+
+"I can't do it, Lily!" Max says. "It is too hard!"
+
+Lily hugs Max and says, "Don't worry, Max. You can do it. You just have to practice more. And you have to behave. Mom and Dad don't like it when we make too much noise."
+
+They hear a knock on the door. It is Mom and Dad, who have come home from work. They look tired and gloomy.
+
+"Hi, kids," Mom says. "What are you doing?"
+
+"We are practicing for our show, Mom," Lily says. "We are dancing!"
+
+Mom and Dad smile and say, "That's wonderful, kids. We are proud of you. But can you please dance a little quieter? We have had a long day and we need some rest."
+
+"OK, Mom and Dad," Lily and Max say. "We will dance softly. And we will behave."
+
+They turn down the music and dance gently. They follow the rhythm and have fun. Mom and Dad watch them and feel happy. They join them and dance too. They forget their troubles and enjoy the moment. They are a happy family.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, Lily brings a new doll to school. She is very happy and shows it to Ben.
+
+"Look, Ben, this is my new doll. Her name is Anna. She can talk and sing and move her eyes. Do you want to play with her?" Lily asks.
+
+Ben nods and smiles. He likes dolls too. He reaches out his hand to hold Anna. But Lily pulls her back.
+
+"No, Ben, this is my doll. You can't play with her. She is only for me," Lily says.
+
+Ben feels sad and angry. He wants to share with Lily, but Lily does not want to share with him. He thinks Lily is not a good friend.
+
+"Why are you so mean, Lily? Don't you know how to share? Sharing is good. Sharing makes friends happy. If you don't share, you will have no friends," Ben says.
+
+Lily feels hurt by Ben's words. She does not want to lose Ben as a friend. But she also loves her new doll very much. She does not want to give her to anyone.
+
+"I do know how to share, Ben. But this doll is special. She is not like other toys. She is my best friend. She helps me feel better," Lily says.
+
+Ben is confused. He does not understand why Lily needs a doll to feel better. He asks her what is wrong.
+
+"Lily, what do you mean? Why do you need a doll to feel better? Are you sick? Are you sad?" Ben asks.
+
+Lily sighs and looks down. She does not like to talk about it, but she trusts Ben. She decides to tell him the truth.
+
+"Ben, I have a problem. I have to go to the hospital soon. I have to have an operation. The doctor says it will make me well, but I am scared. I don't want to go. I don't want to be weak. I don't want to hurt. Anna makes me feel brave. She tells me stories and sings me songs. She says everything will be okay. She is my friend. That's why I don't want to share her," Lily says.
+
+Ben feels sorry for Lily. He did not know she had to go to the hospital. He did not know she had to have an operation. He did not know she was scared. He hugs her and says he is sorry.
+
+"Lily, I am sorry. I did not know. I am sorry I was angry. I am sorry I was mean. I understand now. You need Anna. She is your friend. You can keep her. You don't have to share her," Ben says.
+
+Lily smiles and hugs him back. She says thank you. She says he is a good friend. She says she is sorry too. She says she will share with him when she comes back from the hospital. She says she hopes he will visit her. She says she loves him.
+
+Ben says he loves her too. He says he will visit her. He says he will bring her a gift. He says he will pray for her. He says he hopes she will be well soon.
+
+They hold hands and walk to the teacher. They tell her they are friends. They tell her they are sorry. They tell her they learned how to share. The teacher smiles and hugs them. She says she is proud of them. She says they are brave. She says they will be okay.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park near their town. One day, they see a big orange balloon in the sky. It is very bright and pretty.
+
+"Wow, look at that balloon!" Lily says. "I wish I could touch it."
+
+"Me too," Ben says. "But it is too high. We can't reach it."
+
+Lily thinks for a moment. She has an idea. She points to a tall tree near the park. "Maybe we can climb that tree and get closer to the balloon. Do you dare to try?"
+
+Ben looks at the tree. It is very tall and has many branches. He feels a little scared. But he also wants to see the balloon. He nods his head. "Yes, I dare. Let's go."
+
+Lily and Ben run to the tree. They start to climb the trunk and then the branches. They go higher and higher. They can see the balloon better now. It is very big and round. It has a basket with some people inside. They wave at them.
+
+"Hello, balloon people!" Lily shouts. "We are climbing a tree to see you!"
+
+The balloon people smile and wave back. They say something, but Lily and Ben can't hear them. The wind is too loud.
+
+Suddenly, the wind blows harder. The balloon moves away from the tree. Lily and Ben can't see it anymore. They feel sad.
+
+"Bye, balloon!" Ben says. "Maybe we will see you again someday."
+
+Lily and Ben climb down the tree. They are careful not to fall. They go back to the park. They are still friends. They still like to play. But they always remember the big orange balloon in the sky.
+Lily was a troubled girl. She did not like to share her toys or play with others. She always wanted more and more things. She thought that if she had more things, she would be happy.
+
+One day, she saw a big store with many things. She ran inside and saw many shiny and pretty things. She wanted to buy them all. She grabbed a doll, a car, a book, a ball, and a hat. She ran to the counter and said, "I want to buy these!"
+
+The man at the counter looked at her and said, "Do you have money to buy these?"
+
+Lily did not have money. She only had a penny in her pocket. She said, "No, but I want them!"
+
+The man said, "You can't buy these without money. You have to put them back."
+
+Lily did not want to put them back. She started to cry and scream. She said, "No, no, no! They are mine!"
+
+The man said, "You are being very rude and selfish. You can't have everything you want. You have to learn to be happy with what you have. You have to learn to share and be kind. That is what makes life good."
+
+Lily did not listen to the man. She kept crying and screaming. She did not care about being happy or kind. She only cared about having more things.
+
+The man shook his head and said, "You are a troubled girl. You need to change your attitude. You are missing the point of life."
+Lily and Max like to play pretend. They have a big box of toys and clothes. They can be anything they want. Today, they want to be pirates. They put on hats and scarves and belts. They find a sword and a hook and a map.
+
+They pretend the sofa is a ship. They sail on the sea and look for treasure. They see an island with a palm tree. They jump off the sofa and run to the island. They dig in the sand with a shovel. They find a shiny coin. It is gold and round.
+
+Lily and Max both want the coin. They say it is theirs. They pull and tug on the coin. They start to fight. They yell and cry. They forget to play pretend. They are not happy.
+
+Mom hears the noise. She comes to see what is wrong. She sees Lily and Max fighting over the coin. She is not happy. She tells them to stop. She says the coin is not real. It is just a toy. She says they have to share and be good.
+
+Lily and Max feel sorry. They say sorry to each other. They hug and make up. They decide to share the coin. They put it in a box with other toys. They say it is their treasure. They go back to the sofa. They pretend to be pirates again. They have fun. They are happy.
+Sara and Ben were playing in their room. They liked to pretend they were heroes and villains. Sara wore a cape and a mask. Ben wore a hat and a sword. They made up stories with their toys and books.
+
+One day, they decided to play a new game. They used a curtain to make a cave. Ben said, "I am the dragon. I live in the cave. I have a treasure. You can't have it." Sara said, "I am the knight. I will rescue the treasure. You can't stop me." They laughed and ran around the room.
+
+But then, the curtain fell down. It covered Ben and the treasure. Ben could not see or breathe. He was scared. He shouted, "Help! Help! I can't get out!" Sara heard him. She was worried. She said, "Don't be afraid, Ben. I will rescue you." She pulled the curtain away. She saw Ben and the treasure. She hugged him. She said, "You are safe, Ben. I am sorry. It was just a game."
+
+Ben smiled. He said, "Thank you, Sara. You are a good knight. And a good sister." Sara smiled. She said, "You are welcome, Ben. You are a good dragon. And a good brother." They shared the treasure. They put the curtain back. They played a new game. They were happy.
+Lily and Ben were twins who liked to go on tours with their mom and dad. They liked to see new things and learn new words. But sometimes they got bored and naughty. They liked to pinch each other and make loud noises.
+
+One day, they went on a tour of a big castle. It was very old and dark and gloomy. Lily and Ben did not like it. They wanted to go outside and play. But their mom and dad said they had to stay with the group and listen to the guide.
+
+Lily and Ben did not listen. They ran away from the group and hid behind a big curtain. They thought it was funny. They started to pinch each other and giggle. They did not see the sign that said "Do not touch".
+
+The curtain was very old and weak. When Lily and Ben pulled it, it ripped and fell down. Behind the curtain was a big hole in the wall. Lily and Ben fell into the hole. They screamed and cried. They could not see anything. They could not get out.
+
+Their mom and dad heard them and ran to the hole. They were very scared and angry. They called for help. But the hole was too deep and narrow. No one could reach Lily and Ben. They had to wait for a long time until someone came with a rope and a ladder.
+
+Lily and Ben were very sorry. They wished they had not pinched each other and run away. They wished they had stayed with the group and listened to the guide. They learned a hard lesson. They never went on a tour again.
+Lily and Tom were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big monkey on a tree. The monkey had a bunch of bananas.
+
+"Wow, look at the monkey!" Lily said. "He has so many bananas!"
+
+"I want a banana too," Tom said. "Maybe he will share with us."
+
+Tom walked to the tree and called to the monkey. "Hello, monkey! Can we have a banana, please?"
+
+The monkey looked at Tom and smiled. He threw a banana to Tom. Tom caught it and said, "Thank you, monkey! You are very nice!"
+
+Lily was happy for Tom. She also wanted a banana. She walked to the tree and called to the monkey. "Hello, monkey! Can I have a banana too, please?"
+
+The monkey looked at Lily and frowned. He threw a banana to Lily, but not in a nice way. He threw it very hard and hit Lily on the head. Lily fell down and cried.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow! That hurt!" Lily said. "Why did you do that, monkey? You are very mean!"
+
+The monkey laughed and said, "Ha, ha, ha! You are very stupid! You should not trust a monkey! Monkeys are tricky! Monkeys like to play jokes! Monkeys do not share bananas!"
+
+Tom ran to Lily and helped her up. He gave her his banana and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. The monkey was not nice. He was not a friend. He was a jokester. Here, you can have my banana. I don't want it anymore."
+
+Lily smiled and hugged Tom. She said, "Thank you, Tom. You are very nice. You are a friend. You are not a jokester. I like you."
+
+Tom and Lily ate the banana together and shared it. They decided to leave the park and go to another place. They did not want to see the monkey again. They did not like him. They did not trust him.
+Lily liked to follow the chicken in the farm. The chicken was cheerful and made funny noises. Lily wanted to be friends with the chicken, but the chicken always ran away from her.
+
+One day, Lily saw the chicken go inside a small house. Lily followed the chicken and peeked inside. She saw many eggs in a nest. The chicken was sitting on the eggs and looked happy.
+
+"Hello, chicken," Lily said. "Can I see your eggs?"
+
+The chicken clucked and moved a little. Lily saw some of the eggs had cracks on them. She gasped and smiled.
+
+"Are they hatching?" Lily asked. "Can I help you?"
+
+The chicken nodded and made a soft sound. Lily gently touched one of the eggs and felt something move inside. She was very excited and curious.
+
+Soon, one of the eggs broke open and a tiny chick came out. It was yellow and fluffy and had a small beak. It looked at Lily and the chicken and peeped.
+
+"Hello, little chick," Lily said. "You are so cute. I am Lily and this is your mom."
+
+The chick peeped again and cuddled with the chicken. Lily watched as more eggs hatched and more chicks came out. She counted them and saw there were six in total.
+
+"Wow, chicken, you have six babies," Lily said. "They are all beautiful. Can I play with them?"
+
+The chicken smiled and nodded. She was proud of her chicks and happy that Lily was kind. Lily played with the chicks and the chicken for a long time. She gave them names and fed them some seeds. She had a lot of fun and felt very happy.
+
+The end.
+Sam and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a big slide, a swing, and a seesaw. They have fun every day.
+
+One day, Sam has a cold. He has a red nose and he sneezes a lot. He says, "I want to play, but I don't feel good." Tom says, "Don't worry, Sam. I have a plan. I will make you feel better."

It will make you feel good. Are you ready, Sam?" Sam says, "I am ready, Tom."
+
+Tom pushes Sam down the slide. Sam goes fast and feels the wind on his face. He smiles and says, "Whee!" But then, he sneezes. He sneezes so hard that he drops the mug. The mug flies in the air and lands on the knob of the swing. The knob breaks and the swing falls down. Sam says, "Oh no!" Tom says, "Oh no!"
+
+Sam and Tom run to the swing. They see the mug, the knob, and the swing on the ground. They say, "We are sorry. We didn't mean to break the swing." They look at each other and say, "We should tell someone. We should fix it."
+
+They go to the park keeper and tell him what happened. The park keeper is not angry. He says, "It was an accident. I understand. You are good kids. You can help me fix the swing." Sam and Tom say, "Thank you, sir. We will help you." They go to the swing and help the park keeper. They put the knob back and tie the swing. They say, "We did it. We fixed the swing."

+
+One day, Lily went to the park with her mom and Anna. She saw a big girl with a big doll. The big doll had long curly hair, shiny shoes, and a fancy dress. The big girl looked at Lily and Anna and said, "Your doll is so small and modest. My doll is much better and prettier. Do you want to trade?"
+
+Lily felt sad and angry. She loved Anna and did not want to trade her for the big doll. She said, "No, thank you. Anna is my best friend and I don't want to give her away. Your doll may be bigger and fancier, but Anna is kind and sweet. She makes me happy and I make her happy. We don't need anything else."
+
+The big girl frowned and said, "Fine, keep your silly doll. You don't know what you're missing. Come on, let's go, Bella." She took her big doll and walked away.
+
+Lily hugged Anna and said, "Don't worry, Anna. You are the best doll in the world and I will always love you. You are not small and modest. You are perfect and beautiful." She smiled and kissed Anna's cheek. Then she ran to the swings with her mom and Anna and had a lot of fun.

+
+Ben wanted the stone too. He said, "No, Lily, give it to me! It's my magic stone!"
+
+Lily and Ben started to pull the stone from each other. They did not know that the stone was really magic. It had a power to make wishes come true.
+
+Suddenly, the stone glowed and made a loud noise. Lily and Ben let go of the stone and fell to the ground. They saw that the stone had changed. It was now a big, red dragon that breathed fire.
+
+The dragon looked at Lily and Ben and said, "Who are you? Why did you wake me up?"
+
+Lily and Ben were scared. They did not know what to say. They wished they had not fought over the stone.
+
+The dragon said, "You are lucky I am not hungry. I will grant you one wish each, and then I will fly away. But be careful what you wish for. Magic can be tricky."
+
+Lily and Ben thought hard. They did not want to make a bad wish. They looked at each other and said, "We wish we could share the magic stone and be friends."
+
+The dragon smiled and said, "That is a good wish. I will make it so." He touched the stone with his claw and turned it back into a pale blue stone. He gave it to Lily and Ben and said, "Here, take this. It is a magic stone, but only for you two. You can use it to play and have fun, but only if you share and care for each other. Do you understand?"
+
+Lily and Ben nodded and said, "Yes, we understand. Thank you, dragon."
+
+The dragon said, "You are welcome. Now, I must go. Goodbye, little ones." He spread his wings and flew away into the sky.
+

+"Roar!" Max said. "I am the king of the jungle. You are my friend, but you have to do what I say."
+
+"Meow!" Lily said. "I am a clever cat. I can do what I want. You can't catch me."
+
+They ran towards a big tree. Lily climbed up the tree and Max followed her. They saw a hole in the tree. They looked inside and saw something shiny.
+
+"What is that?" Max asked.
+
+"I don't know," Lily said. "Let's find out."
+
+They reached inside the hole and pulled out a necklace. It had a shiny stone that looked like a star. They were very happy.
+
+"Wow!" Lily said. "This is so pretty. Where did it come from?"
+
+"Maybe someone left it here," Max said. "Or maybe it grew from a root."
+
+"A root?" Lily asked.
+
+"Yes, a root. You know, the part of the plant that is under the ground. Maybe this tree has magic roots that make shiny things."
+
+Lily and Max looked at each other and smiled. They imagined that they had found a magic necklace from a magic tree. They put the necklace around Lily's neck and felt very special. They decided to keep it as a secret and a treasure. They continued to play and imagine in the garden.

+"We love you, Spot," Sue said. "You are our best friend."
+
+They hugged Spot and he licked their faces. They smiled and felt happy. They had a good day.

+Tom does not listen. He picks up another book and throws it. He thinks it is fun. He does not care about Anna's books.
+
+Anna is angry. She runs to Tom and tries to grab the book from his hand. They fight over the book. They pull and push. The book rips in half. They both gasp.
+
+"Look what you did!" Anna cries. "You broke my book! It was my favorite book!"
+
+Tom feels sorry. He did not mean to break the book. He was just playing. He does not like to see Anna cry.
+
+"I'm sorry, Anna," he says. "I was wrong. I should not have thrown your books. Can you forgive me?"
+
+Anna is still sad. She loves her books. She does not want them to be broken. But she loves her brother too. She knows he is sorry.
+
+She wipes her tears. She nods.
+
+"OK, Tom," she says. "I forgive you. But please, be careful with my books. They are precious to me."
+
+Tom hugs Anna. He is glad she forgives him. He promises to be careful with her books. He helps her pick up the books from the floor. He finds some tape and fixes the broken book.
+
+They kneel on the floor and look at the book together. They see the pictures and read the words. They smile. They are happy.
+Lily was a little girl who liked to play with her toys in her crib. She had a teddy bear, a doll, a ball and a book. She liked to make up stories with them and pretend they were her friends.
+
+One night, Lily heard a loud noise outside her window. She saw a flash of light and heard a boom. She was scared and worried. She hugged her teddy bear and whispered, "What is that, Teddy? Is it a monster?"
+
+Teddy did not answer, but Lily imagined he said, "No, Lily, it is not a monster. It is a storm. Sometimes the sky makes noise and light when it is angry. But it will go away soon. You are safe in your crib."
+
+Lily felt a little better, but she still felt worried. She wanted her mommy and daddy to come and comfort her. She called out, "Mommy! Daddy! I am scared!"
+
+Mommy and daddy heard Lily and came to her room. They saw her in her crib, holding her teddy bear. They smiled and said, "Lily, we are here. Don't be scared. It is just a storm. It will not hurt you. We love you."
+
+They kissed her and tucked her in. They sang her a lullaby and stroked her hair. Lily felt warm and cozy. She was not worried anymore. She closed her eyes and fell asleep. She remained in her crib, dreaming of happy things.
+Anna liked to help her grandma in the kitchen. She wore a small apron that matched her grandma's big one. She stirred the soup, rolled the dough, and sprinkled the cheese. She felt very happy and proud.
+
+One day, her grandma had a surprise for her. She told Anna to close her eyes and wait in the living room. Anna did as she was told, but she was very curious. She wondered what her grandma was making. She wanted to peek.
+
+She tiptoed to the kitchen door and opened it a little bit. She saw her grandma taking something out of the oven. It was round and golden and smelled very good. It was a pie! Anna loved pie. She wanted to taste it.
+
+But before she could sneak in, her grandma turned around and saw her. She smiled and said, "Anna, I see you peeking. Come here, my dear. The pie is for you. It is your favorite, apple and cinnamon. I made it to celebrate your birthday. Happy birthday, Anna!"
+
+Anna ran to her grandma and hugged her. She thanked her for the pie and the apron and the love. She said, "Grandma, you are the best. You are so kind and wise. I love you very much." Her grandma kissed her and said, "I love you too, Anna. You are my sweet and smart granddaughter. Now, let's cut the pie and share it with the family." They did, and it was delicious. Anna had a wonderful birthday.
+Anna and Ben are playing with blocks in the living room. They have many blocks of different colors and shapes. They like to build towers and bridges and houses with the blocks.
+
+"Look at my tower, Anna!" Ben says. "It is very tall and strong. It has orange blocks on the top."
+
+Anna looks at Ben's tower and smiles. She likes orange blocks too. She has some orange blocks in her hand. She wants to add them to her bridge.
+
+"Can I use some of your orange blocks, Ben?" Anna asks. "I need them for my bridge. It will be very pretty and long."
+
+Ben shakes his head. He does not want to share his orange blocks. He likes them too much. He wants to keep them for his tower.
+
+"No, Anna, you cannot use my orange blocks. They are mine. Go find your own blocks." Ben says. He sounds angry and mean.
+
+Anna feels sad and hurt. She does not like it when Ben is angry and mean. She thinks he is not behaving well. She thinks he is being selfish and rude.
+
+"That is not nice, Ben. You should share your blocks with me. We are friends. Friends share and play together." Anna says. She tries to sound calm and kind.
+
+Ben does not listen to Anna. He turns away from her and keeps building his tower. He does not care about her bridge. He does not care about her feelings.
+
+Anna does not know what to do. She wants to play with Ben, but he does not want to play with her. She wants to use some of his orange blocks, but he does not want to share them with her. She feels lonely and angry.
+
+She decides to do something. She takes a deep breath and pushes Ben's tower with her hand. The tower falls down and the blocks scatter on the floor. Ben gasps and cries. He looks at his tower and his blocks. He looks at Anna and her bridge.
+
+"Why did you do that, Anna? You ruined my tower! You are mean and bad!" Ben shouts. He is very upset and mad.
+
+Anna feels sorry and guilty. She did not mean to hurt Ben. She only wanted to get his attention. She only wanted to make him share and play with her.
+
+"I am sorry, Ben. I did not mean to ruin your tower. I was angry and sad. You did not behave well. You did not share your blocks with me. You did not play with me." Anna says. She is very sorry and sad.
+
+Ben and Anna look at each other. They see the tears in their eyes. They see the blocks on the floor. They see their tower and their bridge. They realize they made a mistake. They realize they hurt each other.
+
+They hug and say sorry. They forgive each other. They decide to behave better. They decide to share and play together. They pick up the blocks and start to build again. They use the orange blocks and the other blocks. They make a new tower and a new bridge. They make them bigger and better. They smile and laugh. They are happy and friends.
+Lily liked fashion. She liked to do dress-up with her dolls and her mom's clothes. She liked to make hats and scarves and belts from paper and ribbons. She liked to show her fashion to her friends and family.
+
+One day, Lily saw a wide hat in a shop window. It was red and blue and had flowers and feathers on it. Lily thought it was the most beautiful hat ever. She wanted to have it for her fashion show. She asked her mom if she could buy it.
+
+"Sorry, Lily, but that hat is too expensive," her mom said. "Maybe you can make your own hat with what you have at home."
+
+Lily was sad, but she did not give up. She went home and looked for things to make a hat. She found a big bowl, some paint, some glue, and some things from the garden. She painted the bowl red and blue. She glued flowers and feathers on it. She made a wide hat that looked like the one in the shop window.
+
+She was very proud of her hat. She put it on and went to show it to her mom. But when she walked out of her room, she bumped into her brother. He was carrying a ball and did not see her. The ball hit her hat and knocked it off her head. The hat fell to the floor and broke into pieces.
+
+Lily cried. She had worked so hard on her hat and now it was ruined. Her mom and her brother came to hug her and say sorry.
+
+"It's okay, Lily," her mom said. "You are very creative and talented. You can make another hat or something else for your fashion show. I'm sure you will do great."
+
+Lily sniffed and nodded. She knew her mom was right. She still liked fashion and she still liked to do dress-up. She decided to make a new hat with a different bowl and some other things. She hoped it would be as wide and as beautiful as the one in the shop window.
+Tom is a modest boy. He does not like to show off or be loud. He likes to think a lot. He thinks about his toys, his friends, his family, and his sandwich.
+
+One day, Tom goes to the park with his mom. He brings his sandwich with him. It is his favorite sandwich: cheese and ham. He thinks it is the best sandwich in the world.
+
+At the park, Tom sees a big slide. He wants to try it, but he is a little scared. He thinks it is too high and too fast. He sees other kids sliding and laughing. He thinks they are brave and happy.
+
+Tom's mom sees him looking at the slide. She smiles and says, "Do you want to go on the slide, Tom? It is fun. I will go with you."
+
+Tom thinks for a moment. He looks at his mom, then at his sandwich, then at the slide. He thinks he can do it. He thinks he can be brave and happy too.
+
+He nods and says, "Yes, mom. I want to go on the slide. But first, can I eat my sandwich?"
+
+Tom's mom laughs and says, "Of course, Tom. You can eat your sandwich. It is your favorite sandwich, right?"
+
+Tom smiles and says, "Yes, mom. It is the best sandwich in the world."
+
+Tom eats his sandwich and enjoys every bite. He thinks it is delicious and filling. He thinks he is ready for the slide.
+
+He holds his mom's hand and walks to the slide. He climbs the steps and sits on the edge. He looks down and feels a little nervous. He thinks it is still high and fast.
+
+But he also thinks it is fun and exciting. He thinks he can do it. He thinks he can be brave and happy.
+
+He lets go and slides down. He feels the wind in his hair and the sun on his face. He hears his mom cheering and clapping. He laughs and shouts, "Whee!"
+
+He reaches the bottom and jumps off. He runs to his mom and hugs her. He says, "Mom, I did it! I went on the slide! It was fun!"
+
+Tom's mom hugs him back and says, "I'm so proud of you, Tom! You did it! You went on the slide! You are brave and happy!"
+
+Tom smiles and says, "Thank you, mom. I love you. And I love my sandwich."
+Anna was a mighty girl who liked to run and jump and play all day. She had many toys and books and friends to have fun with. But when it was time to go to bed, she did not want to relax. She wanted to stay up and keep playing.
+
+"Anna, it is bedtime now. You need to relax and sleep in your crib," her mom said. "You had a busy day and you need to rest your body and mind."
+
+"But mom, I am not tired. I want to play more. Please, can I have five more minutes?" Anna begged.
+
+"No, Anna. You have to sleep now. If you don't relax, you will be grumpy and cranky tomorrow. And you won't have enough energy to play with your friends. Relaxing is good for you, just like eating and drinking and brushing your teeth," her mom explained.
+
+Anna pouted and whined, but her mom was firm. She tucked her in her crib and gave her a kiss and a hug. She turned off the light and left the room.
+
+Anna lay in her crib and felt angry and bored. She did not want to relax. She wanted to play. She tried to get out of her crib, but it was too high and she could not reach the floor. She threw her pillow and her blanket, but they did not make any noise. She cried and shouted, but no one came to help her.
+
+She realized that she was alone and scared. She wished she had listened to her mom and relaxed. She felt sorry for being rude and stubborn. She wanted her mom to come back and cuddle her. She missed her toys and books and friends. She realized that relaxing was not so bad after all. It was a way of saying thank you to her body and mind for all the things they did for her.
+
+She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She tried to relax and calm down. She thought of happy things, like her mom's smile and her dad's hug and her friends' laughter. She felt warm and cozy and safe in her crib. She fell asleep and had sweet dreams.
+
+The next morning, she woke up feeling refreshed and cheerful. She smiled at her mom and said, "I'm sorry, mom. You were right. Relaxing is good for me. I love you."
+
+Her mom hugged her and said, "I love you too, Anna. I'm proud of you for learning to relax. You are a mighty girl, and a smart one too."
+
+The moral of the story is: Relaxing is important for your health and happiness. Sometimes you have to listen to your parents and do what they say, even if you don't feel like it. They know what is best for you and they love you very much.
+Sara and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big pond with ducks and fish. Sara wanted to feed the ducks, but Ben wanted to catch the fish. He had a stick and a string.
+
+"Come on, Sara, let's catch some fish. They are yummy and fun to catch," Ben said.
+
+"No, Ben, that is not nice. The fish live in the pond. They are not for us to catch. Let's feed the ducks instead. They are friendly and like bread," Sara said.
+
+But Ben did not listen. He threw his stick and string into the pond and tried to hook a fish. He pulled hard and got a fish out of the water. It was wet and slippery and shiny. Ben was happy and proud.
+
+"Look, Sara, I caught a fish. I want to taste it. It must be good," Ben said.
+
+He opened his mouth and bit the fish. But the fish did not taste good. It tasted bad and bitter and yucky. Ben spat it out and made a face. He felt sick and sorry.
+
+"Yuck, yuck, yuck. This fish is awful. I don't like it at all. I wish I did not catch it," Ben said.
+
+Sara came over and saw the fish. She felt sad and angry.
+
+"Ben, you are mean and silly. You hurt the fish and yourself. You should not catch the fish. You should let them be. They are not for us to taste. They are for us to watch and enjoy," Sara said.
+
+She took the fish and put it back in the pond. She hoped it would be okay. She gave Ben some water and bread. She hoped he would be okay too.
+
+"Ben, next time, listen to me. I know the way to be kind and happy. Feeding the ducks is better than catching the fish. The ducks will thank you and the fish will thank you too," Sara said.
+
+Ben nodded and said sorry. He learned his lesson. He did not want to catch the fish anymore. He wanted to feed the ducks with Sara. He wanted to be kind and happy too.
+Sara and Tom were twins who loved the beach. They liked to play in the sand, splash in the water, and look for shells. One day, their dad said he had a surprise for them. He took them to a shop where they saw big boards with bright colors.
+
+"These are surf boards," dad said. "They help you ride on the waves. Do you want to try?"
+
+Sara and Tom nodded excitedly. They each picked a board that they liked. Sara chose a pink one and Tom chose a blue one. Dad helped them put on special suits that kept them warm and comfortable in the water. Then they followed him to the shore.
+
+Dad showed them how to lie on the board and paddle with their arms. He told them to watch the waves and wait for the right one. He said he would push them when they were ready.
+
+Sara went first. She lay on her board and looked at the water. She saw a big wave coming. She felt dad's hand on her board.
+
+"Ready, Sara?" dad asked.
+
+"Yes, dad!" Sara said.
+
+Dad pushed her board and Sara felt it move fast. She lifted her chest and put her feet on the board. She was standing! She was surfing! She smiled and waved at dad and Tom. She felt happy and proud.
+
+Tom watched Sara and clapped. He wanted to try too. He lay on his board and waited for his turn. He saw a wave that looked good. He mentioned it to dad.
+
+"Dad, can I go on that one?" Tom asked.
+
+"Sure, Tom. That's a great wave. Are you ready?" dad said.
+
+"Yes, dad!" Tom said.
+
+Dad pushed him and Tom felt the same thrill as Sara. He stood up and balanced on his board. He was surfing too! He grinned and shouted with joy. He saw Sara and they high-fived each other. They felt brave and cool.
+
+Sara and Tom had a lot of fun surfing with dad. They learned how to catch the waves and steer the boards. They laughed and cheered every time they did it. They thanked dad for the surprise and hugged him. They said surfing was their new favorite thing to do at the beach.
+Tom and Mia like to play with their toys. They have many toys, but their favorite is the big castle. The castle has a king, a queen, a dragon, and a guard. The guard has a sword and a shield. He protects the castle from bad guys.
+
+One day, Tom and Mia are playing with the castle. Tom pretends to be the dragon. He makes loud noises and breathes fire. Mia pretends to be the queen. She sits on the throne and wears a crown. She tells the guard to stop the dragon.
+
+"Guard, guard, help me! The dragon is coming! He wants to destroy the castle!" Mia says.
+
+"I will save you, my queen! I will fight the dragon!" the guard says. He runs to the gate and holds his sword and shield.
+
+Tom laughs and roars. He flies to the gate and knocks it down. He sees the guard and tries to bite him. The guard swings his sword and hits the dragon's nose. The dragon cries and flies away.
+

+
+"Look, Lily, this is my new toy. It is a bird. It can sing." Tom says. He puts the bird on the table and presses a button. The bird makes a sweet sound.
+
+Lily likes the bird too. She wants to touch it. She reaches out her hand. "Can I hold it, Tom? It is so pretty." She says.
+
+Tom shakes his head. "No, Lily, you cannot hold it. It is fragile. It can break. It is not for holding. It is for looking." He says.
+
+Lily feels sad. She wants to play with the bird. She does not understand why Tom does not share. She opens her mouth and cries. "That is not fair, Tom. You are mean. You do not show me your toy. You do not let me play." She says.
+
+Tom feels sorry. He does not want to make Lily cry. He wants to be a good friend. He thinks for a moment. He has an idea. He picks up the bird and gives it to Lily. "Here, Lily, you can hold it. But be careful. It is fragile. It can break. Hold it gently. Do not drop it." He says.
+
+Lily stops crying. She smiles. She takes the bird from Tom. She holds it gently. She does not drop it. She listens to the bird sing. She is happy. She thanks Tom. "Thank you, Tom. You are nice. You show me your toy. You let me play." She says.
+
+Tom and Lily are friends. They play with the bird. They are careful. They are happy. They share.
+Tom and Anna are playing in the park. They see a big slide and run to it. Tom goes first and slides down fast. He laughs and says, "That was fun!"

+
+Tom slides down and joins her. He looks at the wallet and says, "Maybe it belongs to someone here. We should give it back."
+
+They look around and see a lot of people in the park. Some are walking, some are playing, some are sitting. They do not know who the wallet belongs to.
+
+"Who do we ask?" Anna wonders.
+
+"Maybe we can ask that lady," Tom says, pointing to a woman in a blue dress. She is sitting on a bench and reading a book. She looks alert and kind.
+
+They walk to the lady and say, "Excuse me, miss, is this your wallet?"
+
+The lady looks at them and smiles. She takes the wallet and opens it. She gasps and says, "Oh, thank you, thank you! This is my wallet! I lost it this morning and I was so worried. How did you find it?"
+
+Anna and Tom tell her how they found it near the slide. The lady thanks them again and gives them a hug. She says, "You are very honest and helpful children. You made my day. Here, take this as a reward." She gives them each a candy from her purse.
+
+Anna and Tom are happy. They say, "You're welcome, miss. We're glad we could help."
+
+They take the candy and run back to the slide. They share their candy and slide down again. They laugh and say, "That was fun!"
+Tommy was a spoiled boy who always wanted to get his way. He had many toys, but he was never happy with them. He always demanded more and more from his parents.
+
+One day, Tommy saw a shiny red car in the toy store. He wanted it so much that he started to cry and scream. He pointed at the car and said, "I want that! I want that! Give me that!"
+
+His mother tried to calm him down and said, "No, Tommy, you have enough toys at home. You don't need another car. Let's go home and play with what you have."
+
+But Tommy did not listen. He threw a tantrum and kicked and hit his mother. He was very rude and mean. He said, "You are a bad mommy! You don't love me! I hate you!"
+
+His mother was very sad and angry. She said, "Tommy, stop it right now! You are being very naughty and selfish. You should be grateful for what you have. There are many children who have no toys at all. How would you feel if you had nothing?"
+
+Tommy did not care. He said, "I don't care about other children. I only care about me. I want the car! I want the car!"
+
+His mother had enough. She said, "That's it, Tommy. We are going to see the doctor. Maybe he can help you with your bad behavior."
+
+Tommy was scared. He did not like the doctor. He said, "No, no, no! I don't want to see the doctor! He will give me a shot! He will hurt me!"
+
+His mother said, "Too bad, Tommy. You brought this on yourself. Maybe the doctor can teach you a lesson. Come on, let's go."
+
+She took Tommy by the hand and dragged him out of the toy store. Tommy cried and begged, but his mother did not listen. She hoped that the doctor could make Tommy a better boy.
+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play with toys and run in the park. One day, they go to the zoo with their moms. They see many animals. They see lions, monkeys, bears, and birds.
+
+Tom likes the birds. They are colorful and noisy. He wants to touch them. He sees a big cage with many birds. He runs to the cage and puts his hand inside. Mia follows him and says, "No, Tom, don't do that! The birds can bite you!"
+
+Tom shrugs. He does not listen to Mia. He says, "I want to touch them. They are soft and pretty." He reaches for a red bird. The bird does not like Tom. It pecks his hand. Tom screams. He pulls his hand out of the cage. His hand is bleeding. He cries.
+
+Mia and their moms hear Tom scream. They run to him. They see his hand. They are scared. They say, "Oh, Tom, what did you do? You should have listened to Mia. The birds are not toys. They are wild animals. They can hurt you."
+
+Tom feels sorry. He says, "I'm sorry, Mia. I'm sorry, Mom. I was silly. I should have listened to you." His mom takes him to the nurse. The nurse puts a bandage on his hand. She says, "You are lucky. The bird did not bite you too hard. But you have to be careful. You have to respect the animals. They have feelings too."
+
+Tom nods. He says, "I understand. I will be careful. I will respect the animals." He hugs Mia and his mom. He says, "Thank you for being my friends. I love you." They hug him back. They say, "We love you too, Tom. We are glad you are okay."
+
+They leave the zoo. They go home. Tom's hand still hurts. He does not want to play with toys or run in the park. He wants to sleep. He goes to his bed. He closes his eyes. He hears silence. He does not like silence. He misses the noisy birds. He wishes he could say sorry to them. He has a bad dream. He sees the red bird. The red bird is angry. It pecks his face. He wakes up. He screams. He cries. He is not happy. The end.

+
+Lily's mom saw her looking at the boy. She said, "Lily, why don't you go and introduce yourself to him? Maybe he wants to play with you. He is new here and he does not know anyone. It is nice to be kind and friendly to new people."
+
+Lily thought about what her mom said. She decided to be brave and try to make a new friend. She walked over to the boy and said, "Hi, my name is Lily. What is your name?" The boy looked up and smiled. He said, "Hi, Lily. My name is Ben. I just moved here with my family. I don't have any friends here yet."
+
+Lily said, "Well, now you have one. Do you want to play with me and my friends? We have a lot of fun in the park. Come on, I will introduce you to them." Ben nodded and followed Lily.

+
+"Of course I know what a lion is," Tom says. "It is a big cat that roars. But I don't care about lions. I don't care about any animals. They are all the same to me."
+
+"That's not true, Tom," Lily says. "Animals are not all the same. They are different and interesting. They have different names, colors, sounds, and habits. You should learn about them. It will make you smarter and happier."
+
+"I don't want to learn about them, Lily," Tom says. "I don't want to be smarter and happier. I just want to be left alone. You are always talking about animals. You are always getting good grades. You are always making me feel jealous. You are not a good friend."

+
+"OK, Lily," Tom says. "Let's discuss the exam. Let's talk about the animals. Teach me what you know. I want to learn. I want to be a good friend. I want to be happy."

+One day, Lily wanted to bake something by herself. She found some flour and sugar and eggs in the kitchen. She also saw some chocolate chips and sprinkles. She thought they would make a yummy cake.
+
+She took a big bowl and a spoon and put everything in. She stirred and stirred until it was a big mess. Then she poured it into a pan and put it in the oven. She set the timer for ten minutes.
+
+She went to her room and waited. She had a desk where she liked to draw and color. She made a picture of her cake. It looked charming. She was very proud.
+
+The timer beeped. Lily ran to the kitchen. She opened the oven and took out the pan. But the cake did not look like her picture. It was flat and burned and smelled bad. Lily was sad.
+
+Her mom came and saw what happened. She hugged Lily and said, "It's okay, honey. Baking is hard. You need to follow a recipe and measure the ingredients. And you need to be careful with the oven. It's very hot."
+
+She threw away the bad cake and cleaned the pan. Then she said, "Why don't we bake something together? I have a recipe for chocolate chip cookies. They are easy and delicious. And you can add some sprinkles if you want."
+
+Lily smiled and nodded. She helped her mom to bake the cookies. They came out of the oven golden and gooey and sweet. Lily ate one and said, "Mmm, this is the best cookie ever!"
+
+Her mom said, "You did a great job, Lily. You are a charming baker." She kissed her and gave her another cookie. Lily was happy.
+Jenny and Tom were bored. They had no toys to play with. Mom was busy in the kitchen. Dad was at work. They looked around the living room for something fun.
+
+"Let's play hide and seek!" Tom said. He was older than Jenny and liked to make the rules.
+
+"Okay!" Jenny said. She liked to play with Tom. He was her big brother.
+
+"You hide first. I'll count to ten. No peeking!" Tom said. He closed his eyes and started to count.
+
+Jenny ran to find a good hiding spot. She saw the big couch in the corner. It had a lot of pillows and blankets on it. She thought it would be a cozy place to hide. She lifted one of the pillows and crawled under the couch.
+
+Tom finished counting and opened his eyes. He looked around the living room. He saw the TV, the table, the lamp, the bookshelf. He did not see Jenny. He smiled. He liked to find Jenny. He was good at it.
+
+He walked around the room and checked behind the furniture. He looked under the table, behind the lamp, in the bookshelf. He did not find Jenny. He started to wonder where she was. He heard a small noise. It sounded like a sneeze. He followed the noise. It came from the couch.
+
+He walked to the couch and lifted the pillow. He saw Jenny's face. She looked scared and sad. She had something on her nose. It was brown and sticky. It smelled bad.
+
+"Yuck!" Tom said. "What is that?"
+
+Jenny sniffed and cried. "I don't know. It was under the couch. It's disgusting!"
+
+Tom dropped the pillow and backed away. He felt sorry for Jenny. He also felt curious. He wondered what was under the couch. He raised the couch a little bit and looked under it. He saw a lot of dust, some crumbs, a sock, and a rotten banana peel. He guessed that was what Jenny had on her nose.
+
+"Mom!" Tom shouted. "We need to clean under the couch!"
+
+Mom heard Tom and came to the living room. She saw Jenny and Tom by the couch. She saw Jenny's nose. She saw the banana peel. She understood what happened.
+
+"Oh, no!" Mom said. "Poor Jenny! Come here, sweetie. Let me clean your nose. And Tom, you're right. We need to clean under the couch. It's disgusting!"
+
+She took Jenny to the bathroom and wiped her nose with a wet cloth. She hugged her and kissed her. She told her she was brave and smart. She gave her a cookie.
+
+She came back to the living room and helped Tom clean under the couch. They threw away the banana peel and the sock. They vacuumed the dust and the crumbs. They fluffed the pillows and the blankets. They made the couch look nice and clean.
+
+They sat on the couch and watched TV. They felt happy and proud. They had done a good job. They had learned a lesson. They had found a new hiding spot. They had a story to tell Dad. They had a fun day.
+Sara likes to balance on one foot. She thinks it is fun and hard. She can balance for a long time. She likes to show her mom and dad how good she is.
+
+One day, Sara finds a big orange ball in the park. She wants to balance on it. She thinks it will be more fun and harder. She climbs on the ball and tries to stand up. But the ball is round and wobbly. Sara falls off the ball and lands on her stomach.
+
+Sara feels a pain in her stomach. She starts to cry. Her mom and dad run to her. They hug her and kiss her. They tell her it is okay. They say the ball is not for balancing. It is for rolling and bouncing. They give her a band-aid for her stomach.
+
+Sara stops crying. She smiles. She says she is sorry. She says she will not balance on the ball again. She says she will balance on one foot instead. She says she still likes the ball. She says she will roll it and bounce it with her mom and dad. They say they love her. They say they are proud of her. They say they will play with her and the ball. They all have fun.
+Tom and Lily liked to play with blocks. They made towers and bridges and castles with them. Sometimes they shared, and sometimes they fought.
+
+One day, Tom had a bad idea. He found a long string and tied some blocks together. He thought it was funny to swing them around and hit things. He hit the wall, the table, the chair, and the lamp. He made a lot of noise and broke some things.
+
+Lily was scared and angry. She did not like Tom's game. She told him to stop, but he did not listen. He swung the blocks harder and faster. He hit Lily's tower and made it fall. He hit Lily's doll and made it cry. He hit Lily's head and made it hurt.
+
+Lily cried out loud. She ran to Mom and told her what Tom did. Mom was very mad. She came to the playroom and saw the mess. She saw the broken things and the hurt Lily. She saw the blocks tied with the string.
+
+Mom gave Tom a harsh look. She took the blocks away from him. She told him he was naughty and mean. She told him he had to say sorry to Lily and help clean up. She told him he could not play with blocks for a long time.
+
+Tom felt bad. He knew he did wrong. He said sorry to Lily and hugged her. He said sorry to Mom and helped her. He wished he did not tie the blocks. He wished he played nice with Lily. He learned his lesson.
+Tom and Lily were twins who lived in a big house with their parents. They had many toys, books and clothes. They were wealthy, but they did not share with others. They liked to keep everything for themselves.
+
+One day, their mother told them to go to the park and play with other children. She gave them a basket with sandwiches, fruits and cookies. She said, "Be kind and generous, my dears. There are many children who have less than you. You can spread some joy by sharing your food with them."
+
+Tom and Lily nodded, but they did not listen. They went to the park and found a nice place under a tree. They put their basket on a blanket and started to eat. They did not look at the other children who were playing nearby. Some of them were hungry and had no food.
+
+A boy named Sam saw Tom and Lily eating. He was very poor and had not eaten since yesterday. He walked up to them and said, "Hello, can I have some of your food, please? I am very hungry."
+
+Tom and Lily looked at him and frowned. They did not like his dirty clothes and his thin face. They said, "No, you cannot. This is our food. Go away."
+
+Sam felt sad and angry. He said, "That is not fair. You have so much and you do not share. You are selfish and mean."
+
+He grabbed the basket and ran away. Tom and Lily shouted and chased him. They wanted their food back. They did not care about Sam or the other children.
+
+Their mother saw what happened and was very disappointed. She said, "Tom and Lily, you have done a bad thing. You have not spread joy, but sadness. You have not been kind and generous, but selfish and mean. You have not learned to share, but to hoard. You have not been wealthy, but poor."
+
+She took them home and made them give away some of their toys, books and clothes to Sam and the other children. She said, "This is how you spread joy, by sharing what you have. This is how you become kind and generous, by caring for others. This is how you learn to share, by giving and not taking. This is how you become wealthy, by having a good heart."
+Tom and Mia like to visit their grandma. She lives in a small house with a big garden. She has many flowers and birds and a friendly dog. She also has a big box of toys and books for Tom and Mia to play with.
+
+One day, Tom and Mia visit their grandma on her birthday. She is very happy to see them. She gives them hugs and kisses and a slice of cake. She has a candle on her cake. It is a special candle that does not go out. She tells Tom and Mia to blow on the candle and make a wish.
+
+Tom and Mia try to blow on the candle, but it is difficult. They blow and blow, but the candle stays on. They laugh and try again, but the candle still stays on. They wonder how grandma can blow out the candle. They ask her to show them.
+
+Grandma smiles and says she has a secret. She says she can blow out the candle with her magic. She says she will show them, but they have to close their eyes and count to three. Tom and Mia close their eyes and count to three. They hear grandma blow on the candle.
+
+They open their eyes and see that the candle is out. They clap and cheer and hug grandma. They ask her how she did it. Grandma says she used her magic, but she also used a trick. She says she has a small fan in her hand that she used to blow out the candle. She shows them the fan and lets them try it.
+
+Tom and Mia think grandma is very clever and funny. They say they love her and her magic. They say they want to visit her again soon. Grandma says she loves them too and she is glad they came. She says they can visit her anytime they want. They have a happy birthday together.
+Lily and Ben like to play with tools. They have a big box of tools in the garage. They have hammers, screwdrivers, pliers, and more. But their favorite tool is the drill. The drill can spin very fast and make holes.
+
+One day, Lily and Ben find a big piece of wood in the garage. They want to make holes in it with the drill. They ask their dad if they can use the drill. Their dad says yes, but he tells them to be careful and not to touch the drill bit. He shows them how to hold the drill and press the button.
+
+Lily goes first. She holds the drill and presses the button. The drill spins and makes a loud noise. Lily is scared. She drops the drill and runs away. The drill falls on the floor and keeps spinning.
+
+"Stop, stop!" Ben shouts. He tries to pick up the drill, but he is scared too. He does not want to touch the drill bit. He looks for something to stop the drill. He sees a broom. He grabs the broom and pushes the drill with it. The drill stops spinning.
+
+Lily and Ben hug each other. They are glad the drill is not spinning anymore. They decide to play with something else. They put the drill back in the box and close the lid.
+
+They say sorry to their dad. Their dad is not angry. He is happy they are safe. He tells them to be more careful next time. He gives them a hug and a kiss. He says he loves them. Lily and Ben say they love him too. They go to play with their toys. They do not want to play with the drill anymore.
+Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play together. One day, they found a big case in the park. It was red and shiny and had a lock on it. They wondered what was inside.
+
+"Maybe it has toys or candy or something fun," Lily said.
+
+"Let's open it and see," Ben said. He tried to break the lock with a stick, but it was too hard.
+
+"Maybe we can find the key somewhere," Lily said. She looked around and saw a man sitting on a bench. He had a hat and a coat and a newspaper. He also had a key chain on his belt.
+
+"Maybe he has the key," Ben said. He ran to the man and grabbed his key chain. The man was surprised and angry.
+
+"Hey, what are you doing? Give me back my keys!" he shouted.
+
+Ben was scared and ran away with the key chain. Lily followed him. They ran back to the case and tried the keys. One of them fit and opened the lock. They lifted the lid and saw what was inside.
+
+It was not toys or candy or something fun. It was a lot of smelly cheese. The cheese was old and moldy and had worms in it. It made them feel sick.
+
+"Yuck, this is gross!" Lily said.
+
+"Let's taste it, maybe it's good," Ben said. He picked up a piece of cheese and put it in his mouth. He spat it out right away. It was the worst thing he ever tasted. It was sour and bitter and made his tongue burn.
+
+"Ugh, this is horrible!" Ben said.
+
+They heard the man coming. He was looking for his keys and his case. He saw them and was very mad.
+
+"Hey, you little thieves! You stole my keys and opened my case! That's my cheese, I was going to sell it at the market!" he yelled.
+
+Lily and Ben were very sorry. They felt bad for stealing and opening the case. They felt uncomfortable for lying and tasting the cheese. They gave back the keys and the case to the man and said they were sorry.
+
+The man was still angry, but he saw that they were sorry. He decided to forgive them and teach them a lesson.
+
+"Next time, don't take things that are not yours. And don't judge things by how they look. You never know what's inside. Sometimes, things that look good are bad, and things that look bad are good. Like this cheese, some people like it and pay a lot of money for it. But you don't, and that's okay. Everyone has different tastes. But you should always be honest and respectful," he said.
+
+Lily and Ben learned their lesson. They thanked the man and promised to be good. They went home and told their parents what happened. Their parents were not happy, but they were glad that they told the truth and said they were sorry. They hugged them and gave them some cookies and milk. They tasted much better than the cheese.
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a man with a big bag of bread. He was throwing pieces of bread to the ducks in the pond. The ducks were happy and quacked loudly.
+
+"Can we feed the ducks too?" Tom asked the man.
+
+"Sure, you can. Here, take some bread," the man said. He gave Tom and Lily some bread and smiled. He was a kind man.
+
+Tom and Lily thanked the man and followed him to the pond. They threw bread to the ducks and watched them eat. They had fun and learned the names of the ducks. The man told them stories about the ducks and their friends.
+
+Soon, it was time to go home. Tom and Lily said goodbye to the man and the ducks. They hugged the man and told him they were grateful for the bread and the stories.
+
+"You're welcome, kids. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Come back anytime," the man said.
+
+As they walked away, Tom and Lily saw a sign on a tree. It said: "Lost: bag of bread. Reward: $50. Call this number." They looked at each other and then at the man. They realized he had given them his lost bag of bread. They ran back to the man and told him what they saw.
+
+The man was surprised and happy. He thanked Tom and Lily for finding his bag of bread. He gave them the reward and said they were very kind and honest. He was grateful for their help.
+
+Tom and Lily were happy too. They had made a new friend and helped him. They had a good day at the park. They followed their hearts and did the right thing.
+Tim and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. They liked to make noises and pretend they were cars, planes, or animals. They had a lot of colorful toys that they could choose from.
+
+"Look, Lily, I have a pin!" Tim said, holding up a shiny metal pin that he found on the floor. "I can use it to make holes in things!"
+
+"No, Tim, that's not a toy! That's a sharp thing that can hurt you!" Lily said, feeling scared. "Give it to me, I will give it to Mommy!"
+
+But Tim did not listen. He wanted to keep the pin and see what he could do with it. He ran away from Lily and rushed to the couch. He tried to poke the pin into the cushion, but it was too hard. He tried to poke the pin into the lamp, but it was too high. He tried to poke the pin into the wall, but it was too smooth.
+
+Then he saw something that looked soft and fluffy. It was the cat, sleeping on the window sill. Tim thought the cat would not mind if he poked the pin into its fur. He rushed to the cat and tried to stick the pin into its back.
+
+But the cat did mind. It felt a sharp pain and woke up with a loud meow. It was angry and scared. It scratched Tim's face with its claws and bit his hand with its teeth. Tim dropped the pin and started to cry. He had blood on his face and his hand. He felt a lot of hurt.
+
+Lily heard Tim's cry and ran to him. She saw the cat run away and the pin on the floor. She saw Tim's face and hand. She felt sorry for him, but also mad at him. She picked up the pin and threw it in the trash. She said to Tim, "You were very bad, Tim. You should not play with sharp things. You should not hurt the cat. You made a big mess. Mommy will be very angry with you."
+
+Tim sobbed and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I'm sorry, cat. I'm sorry, Mommy. I just wanted to have fun. I didn't know the pin would hurt so much."
+
+But it was too late. The cat was gone, the pin was gone, and the fun was gone. Tim and Lily waited for Mommy to come home and see what they had done. They knew they would be in trouble. They wished they had played with their colorful toys instead.
+Lily and Ben were busy playing with their toys in the garden. They had a lot of cars, dolls, blocks and animals. They liked to share and make up stories together.
+
+One day, they found a frog in the grass. It was green and wet and had big eyes. Lily and Ben were very excited. They wanted to play with the frog.
+
+"Hello, frog!" Lily said. "Do you want to be our friend?"
+
+The frog did not say anything. It just croaked and jumped.
+
+"Let's take him to our house!" Ben said. "We can give him a name and a bed and some food."
+
+Lily and Ben picked up the frog and ran to their house. They put him in a box with some water and leaves. They called him Hoppy.
+
+But Hoppy did not like the box. He wanted to go back to the garden. He missed his pond and his friends. He tried to jump out of the box, but it was too high.
+
+"Look, Hoppy is happy!" Lily said. "He is jumping and croaking. He likes us!"
+
+"No, he is not happy!" Ben said. "He is sad and scared. He wants to go home!"
+
+Lily and Ben started to argue. They both wanted to keep Hoppy, but they had different ideas.
+
+"Stop!" their mom said. She heard them shouting and came to see what was wrong. She saw Hoppy in the box and understood.
+
+"Kids, you can't keep a frog as a pet. He belongs to the garden. He needs his pond and his friends. You have to let him go."
+
+"But we love him!" Lily and Ben said.
+
+"I know, but you have to be kind to him. He is not a toy. He is a living thing. You can still visit him in the garden, but you can't separate him from his home."
+
+Lily and Ben felt sad, but they knew their mom was right. They took Hoppy back to the garden and put him near the pond. They said goodbye and thanked him for playing with them.
+
+Hoppy croaked and jumped into the water. He was happy to be free. He waved his leg at Lily and Ben and swam away.
+
+Lily and Ben smiled and hugged each other. They were still friends. They went back to their house and played with their toys. They had a lot of cars, dolls, blocks and animals. They liked to share and make up stories together.
+Ben and Lily were playing with their toy cars in the yard. They liked to make them zoom and crash and honk. Ben had a red car made of steel. It was very strong and shiny. Lily had a yellow car made of plastic. It was very light and bendy.
+
+"Let's race!" Ben said. "My car is faster than yours!"
+
+"No, it's not!" Lily said. "My car is smarter than yours!"
+
+They lined up their cars at the start line and counted to three. Then they pushed their cars as hard as they could. The cars rolled and bumped and skidded on the grass.
+
+But something bad happened. Ben's car hit a rock and flipped over. It landed on its roof and could not move. Ben ran to his car and tried to flip it back. But it was too heavy for him.
+
+"Ha ha!" Lily said. "My car won! Your car is stuck!"
+
+Ben felt sad and angry. He did not like to lose. He did not want to give up. He was stubborn.
+
+"Help me!" he said to Lily. "Help me flip my car!"
+
+Lily shook her head. She did not want to help. She was stubborn too.
+
+"No!" she said. "You have to say sorry! You have to say my car is better!"
+
+Ben and Lily glared at each other. They did not say anything. They did not play anymore. They were not happy.
+Sara was a young girl who liked to whistle. She whistled when she played, when she ate, and when she went to bed. She whistled happy songs and sad songs, loud songs and soft songs. She whistled all the time.
+
+One day, Sara went to the park with her mom and dad. She saw a big slide and wanted to try it. She ran to the slide and climbed up the stairs. She was anxious to slide down and whistle. She sat on the slide and got ready to go.
+
+But then, she saw a big dog at the bottom of the slide. The dog was barking and wagging its tail. Sara was scared of the dog. She did not want to slide down and meet the dog. She wanted to go back to her mom and dad. She started to cry.
+
+The dog heard Sara cry and looked up. He saw Sara on the slide and wanted to play with her. He ran to the slide and jumped up. He licked Sara's face and wagged his tail. He was friendly and happy.
+
+Sara felt the dog's tongue and tail. She stopped crying and looked at the dog. He was not scary. He was cute and funny. She smiled and petted the dog. She whistled a happy song. The dog whistled back. Sara and the dog became friends. She slid down the slide and played with the dog. Her mom and dad watched and smiled. They were proud of Sara. She was brave and kind. She whistled all the time.
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to explore. One day, they found a big cave in the woods. They wanted to see what was inside, but their mom said no. She said the cave was dark and scary and they could get lost or hurt.
+
+But Tom and Lily were naughty. They waited until their mom was busy and ran to the cave. They took a flashlight and a rope. They said they would be back soon.
+
+They went into the cave and saw many rocks and bats. They heard strange noises and felt cold air. They were a little afraid, but also curious. They walked deeper and deeper into the cave.
+
+Soon, they came to a place where the cave split into two paths. One path went left and one path went right. They did not know which way to go. They decided to split up and look for a way out. They tied the rope to a rock and each took one end. They said they would pull the rope if they found something.
+
+Tom went left and Lily went right. They walked for a long time, but they did not find anything. They only saw more rocks and bats. They started to feel tired and hungry and scared. They wanted to go back to their mom.
+
+They pulled the rope to signal each other, but the rope did not move. They pulled harder and harder, but the rope did not budge. They realized that the rope was stuck or broken. They could not reach each other. They could not get out of the cave. They started to cry.
+
+They wished they had listened to their mom. They wished they had not been naughty. They wished they had not split up. They wished they had never gone into the cave.
+Tom and Lily wanted to make a cake for Mom's birthday. They found a recipe in a book and got some eggs, flour, sugar, butter and chocolate. They mixed everything in a big bowl and poured it into a pan. Then they put the pan in the oven and waited.
+
+"Is the cake ready?" Lily asked.
+
+"I don't know. Let's look at the sign on the oven," Tom said.
+
+They looked at the sign. It had some numbers and a picture of a clock. They tried to read the numbers, but they were too hard.
+
+"I think the cake needs more time," Tom said.
+
+They waited some more. They smelled something burning.
+
+"Oh no! The cake!" Lily cried.
+
+They ran to the oven and opened it. Smoke came out. The cake was black and hard. It looked disgusting.
+
+They took the cake out and put it on the table. They felt sad. They did not succeed in making a cake for Mom.
+
+"What are we going to do?" Lily asked.
+
+Tom thought for a moment. He had an idea.
+
+"Let's make a card for Mom. We can draw a picture of a cake and write 'Happy Birthday' on it. Maybe she will like that," he said.
+
+They got some paper, crayons and scissors. They worked hard on their card. They made it colorful and pretty. They wrote their names on it.
+
+They put the card next to the cake. They hoped Mom would not be mad at them.
+
+Mom came home. She saw the cake and the card. She smiled.
+
+"Wow, what a surprise! Thank you, Tom and Lily. You are so sweet and thoughtful. I love your card. And your cake...well, it's very...creative," she said.
+
+She hugged them and kissed them. She did not mind the disgusting cake. She was happy to have such lovely children.
+Lila likes to play with her dolls. She has many dolls, but her favorite is Anna. Anna has long hair and a pink dress. Lila owns Anna. She does not share her with anyone.
+
+One day, Lila and her mom go to the park. Lila brings Anna with her. She wants to show her the flowers and the trees. She thinks Anna will like nature. She puts Anna on a bench and runs to the swings.
+
+But when she comes back, Anna is gone. Lila is sad and scared. She looks everywhere, but she cannot find Anna. She cries and calls for her mom.
+
+Mom comes and hugs Lila. She tells her not to worry. She says they will find Anna. She asks Lila if she saw anyone take Anna. Lila says no. She says she only saw a big bird fly over the bench.
+
+Mom looks up and sees the bird. It is a crow. It has something in its beak. It is Anna. The crow thinks Anna is a real girl. It does not know Anna is fake. It wants to take her to its nest.
+
+Mom and Lila run after the crow. They shout and wave their arms. They try to make the crow drop Anna. But the crow is fast and flies away. It disappears into the trees.
+
+Lila and mom stop and sigh. They are sad and tired. They cannot get Anna back. Lila misses Anna. She wishes she had not left her on the bench.
+
+Mom hugs Lila again. She tells her she is sorry. She says she will buy her a new doll. She says she loves her very much. She says they should go home.
+
+Lila nods and wipes her tears. She holds mom's hand. She says she loves her too. She says she will be more careful with her new doll. She says she will not let the crow take her. She says she will always own her.
+Lily and Tom were twins who liked to play with trains. They had a big train set with many tracks and cars and a red engine that made steam. They loved to make the engine go fast and watch the steam come out.
+
+One day, their mom said, "It's time to clean up your train set. We have to go to grandma's house soon." Lily and Tom did not want to clean up. They wanted to play more. They said, "No, mom, we don't want to clean up. We want to play with our trains."
+
+Mom said, "You have to clean up, or you will not get any cookies at grandma's house. And you will not be able to play with your trains tomorrow." Lily and Tom still refused to clean up. They said, "We don't care. We have our trains. We don't need cookies or grandma."
+
+Mom was very sad and angry. She said, "Fine. You can stay here with your trains. But I will take them away when I come back. And you will not see grandma or have any cookies." She left with her coat and bag.
+
+Lily and Tom thought they were lucky. They had the train set all to themselves. They made the engine go faster and faster. They did not see the smoke alarm on the ceiling. They did not hear the beep beep beep. They did not smell the smoke. They did not feel the heat.
+
+The firemen came and broke the door. They saw Lily and Tom lying on the floor. They carried them out and gave them oxygen. They tried to save the train set, but it was too late. It was all burned and melted.
+
+Lily and Tom woke up in the hospital. They had bandages and tubes. They cried and cried. They wished they had listened to mom. They wished they had cleaned up. They wished they had gone to grandma's house. They wished they had cookies. They were not lucky. They were very sorry.
+
+The moral of the story is: You should always listen to your mom and clean up your toys. You should not be selfish and stubborn. You should be grateful for what you have. You should not play with fire. You should be careful and safe.
+Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play with marbles. They had many marbles of different colors and sizes. They liked to roll them, sort them, and trade them.
+
+One day, they found a big marble in the park. It was shiny and sparkly. It had many colors inside. They both wanted it. They decided to share it. They took turns holding it and looking at it.
+
+They wanted to keep it safe. They looked for a good place to hide it. They saw a big tree with a hole. They put the marble in the hole. They covered it with some leaves. They smiled at each other. They had a secret.
+
+The next day, they came back to the tree. They wanted to see their marble again. They moved the leaves. But the marble was gone. They felt sad and angry. Who took their marble?
+
+They heard a sound. It was a squirrel. It was holding their marble in its paws. It was nibbling on it. It thought it was a nut. It looked at them with big eyes. It was adorable. But it had their marble.
+
+Lily and Ben did not know what to do. They wanted their marble back. But they did not want to hurt the squirrel. They decided to wait. Maybe the squirrel would drop the marble. Maybe they could get it then. They sat down and watched the squirrel. They hoped it would not break their marble. They hoped they could still share it.
+Lily liked to look at insects. She had a clear jar with holes in the lid, and she would catch bugs and put them in the jar. She wanted to show them to her friends at school.
+
+One day, she found a big, shiny beetle. It had green and purple spots on its back, and long, black legs. Lily thought it was the most beautiful insect she had ever seen. She put it in her jar and took it to school.
+
+She was very excited to show her beetle to her friends. She went to the playground, where her friends were playing. She opened her jar and held it out. "Look what I found!" she said.
+
+But her friends did not look happy. They looked scared and disgusted. They screamed and ran away from Lily and her jar. "Ew, gross!" they said. "That's a nasty bug! Get it away from us!"
+
+Lily felt very sad and embarrassed. She did not understand why her friends did not like her beetle. She thought it was pretty and interesting. She closed her jar and hugged it to her chest. She ran away from the playground, crying.
+
+She did not see the teacher who was watching her. The teacher was Miss Rose, and she liked insects too. She had a book about bugs in her classroom. She saw Lily and her jar, and she felt sorry for her. She followed her and called her name.
+
+"Lily, wait!" she said. "I want to see your beetle. It's very beautiful. Do you want to learn more about it?"
+Sara and Ben were twins who liked to play with their toys. One day, they found a big box of fabric and stuffing in the basement. They decided to design their own pillows with the materials. They cut and sewed and stuffed until they had two colorful pillows, one with stars and one with flowers.
+
+"Look at our pillows, Mom!" Sara said, showing her star pillow. "We made them by ourselves!"
+
+"They are very pretty, well done!" Mom said, smiling. "But don't forget to clean up the mess, okay?"
+
+Ben nodded, holding his flower pillow. He was very proud of his work. He thought his pillow looked so tasty, like a big candy. He wondered how it would taste. He took a small bite of the fabric, but it was not sweet at all. It was bitter and fuzzy and made him cough.
+
+"Yuck!" Ben said, spitting out the fabric. "This pillow is not tasty!"
+
+Sara laughed at him. "Of course not, silly! Pillows are for sleeping, not for eating!"
+
+Mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw Ben's bitten pillow and shook her head. "Ben, you should not eat your pillow. It is not good for you. You could get sick or choke. You should only eat food, not toys."
+
+"I'm sorry, Mom," Ben said, feeling ashamed. "I was curious. I won't do it again."
+
+Mom hugged him and gave him a glass of water. "It's okay, Ben. I'm glad you are okay. But you should be careful and listen to your sister. She is older and smarter than you. She can teach you many things."
+
+Ben nodded and looked at Sara. She smiled and gave him her star pillow. "Here, you can have mine. I don't mind. Maybe it will help you have sweet dreams."
+
+"Thank you, Sara," Ben said, hugging her. "You are a good sister. I love you."
+
+"I love you too, Ben," Sara said. "And I love our pillows. They are very special."
+
+Mom smiled and kissed them both. "You are very special too, my darlings. Now, let's clean up and get ready for bed. And remember, pillows are for sleeping, not for eating."
+
+The end.
+Sam loves to surf. He has a big board with a picture of a shark on it. He likes to ride the waves and feel the wind and the sun. He thinks surfing is perfect.
+
+But today, Sam is sad. He cannot surf. His mom says there is a storm coming. The sky is dark and the water is angry. The waves are too big and too fast. Mom says it is not safe to surf. She says they have to stay inside and prevent getting wet and cold.
+
+Sam is bored. He looks out the window and sees his board in the car. He wishes he could surf. He thinks of the shark and the waves and the fun. He does not like the storm. He thinks the storm is bad.
+
+Then, Sam has an idea. He runs to his room and gets his blanket and his pillow. He makes a surf board on the floor with his blanket. He puts his pillow on top and pretends it is his shark. He jumps on his blanket board and pretends to surf. He makes noises like the wind and the water. He smiles and laughs. He thinks surfing is perfect.
+
+Mom hears Sam and comes to his room. She sees him surfing on his blanket. She smiles and joins him. She pretends to be a dolphin and swims around him. They play and have fun. They forget about the storm. They think surfing is perfect.
+Jill and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big hill. They want to go up the hill.
+
+"Let's jog up the hill!" Jill says. She is fast and flexible. She can run and jump and bend.
+
+"OK!" Tom says. He is not so fast and flexible. He can walk and hop and stretch.
+
+They start to jog up the hill. Jill is ahead of Tom. She is happy. She looks back at Tom. He is tired. He stops to rest.
+
+"Come on, Tom!" Jill says. "You can do it!"
+
+Tom tries to jog again. But the hill is too steep. He falls down. He is sad. He looks at Jill. She is far away.
+
+"Jill, wait for me!" Tom says. But Jill does not hear him. She is at the top of the hill.
+
+Tom does not want to give up. He has an idea. He decides to crawl up the hill. He uses his hands and knees. He is slow but steady. He crawls and crawls and crawls.
+
+He reaches the top of the hill. He sees Jill. She is sitting on the grass. She is bored.
+
+"Hi, Jill!" Tom says. He is proud. He made it to the top.
+
+"Hi, Tom!" Jill says. She is surprised. She did not see him crawl.
+
+"How did you get here?" Jill asks.
+

+One day, a girl named Lila saw a shiny jewel in a shop window. She wanted it very much, but she had no money. She asked her mom to buy it for her, but her mom said no.
+
+"Mom, please, I love it so much!" Lila begged.
+
+"No, Lila, it is too expensive and you don't need it. You have many toys and books at home. Come on, let's go." Her mom said.
+
+But Lila did not listen. She refused to leave the shop. She threw a tantrum and cried and screamed. Her mom was very angry and embarrassed. She tried to calm Lila down, but Lila would not stop.
+
+While Lila was making a fuss, a bad man saw her. He saw the jewel too, and he wanted it for himself. He pretended to be a nice man and said to Lila, "Hey, little girl, do you want the jewel? I can give it to you, if you come with me."
+
+Lila was so foolish. She did not think about her mom or the danger. She only thought about the jewel. She nodded and followed the bad man. He took her to a dark alley and snatched the jewel from her. Then he ran away, leaving Lila alone and scared.
+
+Lila realized she had made a big mistake. She cried and called for her mom, but her mom could not hear her. She was lost and in trouble. She wished she had listened to her mom and not been so greedy.
+
+The moral of the story is: You should not refuse to obey your parents. They know what is best for you and they love you. You should not be foolish and want things that you don't need. They can bring you harm and sorrow.
+Ben was a thoughtful boy. He liked to study new things and ask questions. He wanted to learn about everything in the world.
+
+One day, he found a fork in the kitchen. He had seen his mom and dad use forks to eat, but he wondered what else a fork could do. He decided to study the fork and find out.
+
+He took the fork to his room and looked at it carefully. He saw that it had four shiny points and a long handle. He touched the points and felt that they were sharp. He thought, maybe a fork can make holes.
+
+He found a piece of paper and tried to poke it with the fork. He made four small holes in the paper. He was happy. He thought, maybe a fork can make patterns.
+
+He found a crayon and drew around the holes. He made a square, a circle, a star and a heart. He was proud. He thought, maybe a fork can make art.
+
+He showed his mom and dad his fork art. They smiled and hugged him. They said, you are a very thoughtful boy. You studied the fork and made something beautiful. We love you and your fork art. Ben was happy. He loved his mom and dad and his fork. He thought, maybe a fork can make love.
+Ben and Lily were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big pie on a table. It smelled good. It had apples and sugar on it.
+
+"Who made this pie?" Ben asked.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe someone left it for us," Lily said.
+
+They looked around. They did not see anyone. They felt hungry.
+
+"Let's have a bite. Just a little one," Ben said.
+
+He took a fork and cut a piece of pie. He gave it to Lily. She ate it. It was sweet and warm.
+
+"Mmm, this is yummy," Lily said.
+
+Ben ate a piece too. He agreed. They ate some more. They did not stop.
+
+Soon, the pie was gone. They had eaten it all. They felt full and happy.
+
+But then, they heard a voice.
+
+"Hey, where is my pie?" the voice said.
+
+They turned around. They saw a man. He looked angry. He had a basket and a cloth. He had made the pie. He had left it to cool on the table. He had gone to get some milk.
+
+Ben and Lily felt scared. They felt guilty. They had done something bad. They had taken the man's pie.
+
+They did not know what to say. They looked at each other.
+
+"Sorry, mister," Ben said.
+
+"We didn't know it was yours," Lily said.
+
+The man frowned. He was not happy. He had worked hard to make the pie. He had wanted to share it with his family.
+
+He looked at Ben and Lily. They looked sad. They looked sorry.
+
+He sighed. He felt sorry for them too. They were just kids. They had made a mistake.
+
+He decided to be kind. He decided to forgive them.
+
+"It's okay, kids. I understand. You were hungry. You liked the pie. But next time, ask before you take something that is not yours. Okay?" he said.
+
+Ben and Lily nodded. They felt relieved. They felt grateful.
+
+"Okay, mister. Thank you. We are sorry. We won't do it again," they said.
+
+The man smiled. He gave them a hug. He gave them a kiss.
+
+He said, "Don't worry. I have another pie at home. You can come with me and have some more. But only if you promise to be good. Deal?"
+
+Ben and Lily smiled. They said, "Deal!"
+
+They took the man's hand. They walked with him to his house. They had some more pie. They made a new friend. They learned a lesson. They were happy.
+Sam was going to the hospital with his mom. He was scared. He had a big bump on his head that hurt a lot. The doctor said he needed an operation to make it better.
+
+"Mom, what is an operation?" Sam asked.
+
+"An operation is when the doctor helps you with a special tool. He will make a small cut on your bump and take out the bad thing that makes it hurt. Then he will close the cut with a bandage. You will sleep while he does it, so you won't feel anything," mom explained.
+
+"Will it hurt after?" Sam wondered.
+
+"Maybe a little, but the doctor will give you some medicine to make it better. And you will get a sticker and a toy for being brave," mom said.
+
+Sam felt a little better. He hoped the doctor was nice. He hoped the operation would make his bump go away.
+
+At the hospital, Sam met the doctor. He was wearing a blue coat and a mask. He smiled at Sam and said hello.
+
+"Hi, Sam. I'm Dr. Lee. I'm going to help you with your bump. Do you want to see my special tool?" he asked.
+
+Sam nodded. He was curious. Dr. Lee showed him a shiny thing that looked like a pen. He said it was a scalpel. He said it was very sharp and he had to be careful with it.
+
+"This is what I will use to make a small cut on your bump. Then I will use another tool to take out the bad thing. And then I will use this," he showed Sam a needle and a thread, "to close the cut. Do you have any questions?" he asked.
+
+Sam shook his head. He was nervous, but he trusted Dr. Lee. He said thank you.
+
+"You're welcome, Sam. You are very brave and smart. Now, let's go to the room where you will sleep. I will be with you the whole time. Don't worry, everything will be fine," Dr. Lee said.
+
+Sam followed Dr. Lee and mom to the room. He lay down on a bed. He saw a big machine with wires and buttons. Dr. Lee put a mask on his face and told him to breathe deeply. He said he would see him soon.
+
+Sam felt sleepy. He closed his eyes. He dreamed of stickers and toys.
+
+When he woke up, he saw mom and Dr. Lee smiling at him. He felt a bandage on his head. He felt a little sore, but not too much.
+
+"Hi, Sam. How are you feeling?" Dr. Lee asked.
+
+"Okay," Sam said.
+
+"Good. You did very well. The operation was a success. I took out the bad thing from your bump. It was a cyst. It won't hurt you anymore. You can go home soon. Here, I have something for you," Dr. Lee said.
+
+He gave Sam a sticker and a toy. Sam smiled. He liked the sticker and the toy. He was happy.
+
+"Thank you, Dr. Lee. You are very nice. You helped me a lot," Sam said.
+
+"You're welcome, Sam. You are very welcome. You are very grateful. I'm glad you are happy. I hope you get well soon," Dr. Lee said.
+
+Sam hugged mom and Dr. Lee. He was grateful. He was glad the operation was over. He was glad his bump was gone. He was glad he had a sticker and a toy. He was glad he had mom and Dr. Lee. He was glad.

+One day, a big cloud came and made the sky dark. It started to rain. Lily and Anna ran inside the house. They did not want to get wet. But they forgot to take their toys from the pool. The rain made the water splash and splash. The toys got wet and dirty.
+
+The next day, the sun came back and the sky was blue. Lily and Anna wanted to play in the pool again. They put on their dresses and ran outside. But when they saw the pool, they were sad. The water was muddy and the toys were dirty. They did not want to play with them.
+

+
+She took Lily to the bathroom and washed her finger. She put a band-aid on it. She kissed it and said, "There. All done. You are brave and strong. How do you feel?"
+
+Lily sniffed and smiled. She said, "I feel better, mommy. Thank you. I'm sorry I grabbed the needle. I won't do it again. I love you."
+
+Her mom smiled and said, "I love you too, Lily. Let's go back to your room and play with your dolls. But no more needles, okay?"
+
+Lily nodded and said, "Okay, mommy. No more needles. Only nice things."
+
+They went back to her room and played with her dolls. They had fun. They forgot about the needle. They were happy.

+
+One day, the man had to move to a faraway place. He could not take Poppy with him. He was very sad, and so was Poppy. He wanted to find a good home for her, where she would be happy and safe. He put a sign on his fence that said, "Dog for sell. Very good and sweet. Please call."
+
+A little girl named Mia saw the sign when she walked by with her mom. She loved dogs, and she wanted one of her own. She pointed to the sign and said, "Mom, look! Can we get that dog? Please, please, please!"
+
+Her mom looked at the sign and then at Poppy, who was wagging her tail and barking softly. She smiled and said, "Let's go and talk to the man. Maybe we can get that dog."
+
+They knocked on the door, and the man came out. He greeted them and introduced Poppy. He told them how he had to move and how he wanted a good home for her. He asked them if they had a yard, a fence, and a vet. He asked them if they would play with her, feed her, and love her.
+
+Mia and her mom nodded and said yes to everything. They petted Poppy and hugged her. Poppy licked their faces and wagged her tail harder. She liked them very much. She felt a warm feeling in her heart.
+
+The man saw how much they liked Poppy and how much Poppy liked them. He smiled and said, "I think you are the perfect family for Poppy. You can have her for free. I just want her to be happy."
+
+Mia and her mom were overjoyed. They thanked the man and said they would take good care of Poppy. They put a leash on her and walked away with her. Poppy looked back at the man and barked, "Thank you. Goodbye. I love you."

+"Oh dear!" their mums say. "You should not go near bird nests. They are the bird's home. The bird wants to protect its eggs. You should leave them alone."
+
+"We are sorry!" Anna and Ben say. "We did not know!"
+
+"It's okay!" their mums say. "You are safe now. But next time, be careful!"
+
+Anna and Ben nod. They are sorry. They are also curious. They wonder what the eggs will hatch into. They hope the magpie will calm down. They still like the hedge. But they will not shout in it anymore.
+Tom and Lily were friends who liked to play on the beach. They had a bucket and a spade each, and they made sand castles and dug holes. Sometimes they found shells and stones and put them on their castles.
+
+One day, they saw a big boat on the sea. It had a sail and a flag and it looked very nice. Tom and Lily wanted to go on the boat and see what was inside. They asked their mums if they could go, but their mums said no. The boat was not for them, it was for someone else.
+
+Tom and Lily were sad. They went back to their sand castles and tried to have fun, but they still wanted to see the boat. Then they saw a man walking on the beach. He had a hat and a beard and he smiled at them. He said he was the captain of the boat and he asked them if they wanted to come and visit.
+
+Tom and Lily were very happy. They said yes and ran to their mums. Their mums said they could go, but only for a little while and they had to be careful. The captain was very kind and he took them to his boat. He showed them the sail and the flag and the cabin and the wheel. He told them stories about the sea and the places he had been. He gave them cookies and juice and let them wear his hat.
+
+Tom and Lily had a lot of fun on the boat. They thanked the captain for letting them visit and said goodbye. They went back to their mums and told them everything they had seen and heard. They said the captain was very nice and he had lent them his hat. They said they wanted to be sailors when they grew up and see the world. Their mums hugged them and said they were proud of them. They said they had made a new friend and learned something new. They said they had a wonderful day.
+Sara likes to jog with her mom. They jog in the park every morning. Sara wears her pink dress and her mom wears her blue dress. They jog fast and slow, and they see many things. They see birds, flowers, dogs, and people.
+
+One day, they jog to a big pond. Sara sees a duck with her babies. She wants to feed them. She asks her mom for some bread. Her mom gives her a piece and says, "Be careful, Sara. Don't go too close to the water."
+
+Sara nods and walks to the edge of the pond. She breaks the bread into small bits and throws them to the duck and her babies. They quack and swim and eat the bread. Sara smiles and claps. She thinks they are great.
+
+But then, a big wind blows. It blows Sara's dress and her hat. Sara tries to hold them, but they fly away. They fly into the pond. Sara gasps and cries. She lost her dress and her hat.
+
+Her mom runs to her and hugs her. She says, "Don't cry, Sara. It's okay. We can get you a new dress and a hat. You still have your shirt and your pants. You are still great."
+
+Sara sniffles and nods. She hugs her mom back. She says, "Thank you, mom. I love you. You are great, too."
+
+They jog back to their car. They see the duck and her babies again. They wave to them and say, "Bye, bye. Have a great day."
+Sara likes to play in the big house with many floors. She likes to push the buttons on the elevator and go up and down. She likes to hear the ding when the doors open and close. She likes to see the people who live in the big house. They are nice and give her candy and toys.
+
+One day, Sara is playing in the elevator by herself. She pushes the button for the top floor. She wants to see the sky and the birds. She hears the ding and the doors open. She steps out and sees a big window. She runs to the window and looks outside. She sees the sun and the clouds and the trees. She feels warm and happy.
+
+But then, she hears a loud noise. She turns around and sees the elevator doors closing. She runs to the doors and tries to stop them. But they are too fast and too strong. She hears the ding and the elevator goes down. She is alone on the top floor. She feels scared and sad.
+
+She cries and cries. She wants her mommy and daddy. She wants to go home. She does not like the big house anymore. She does not like the elevator anymore. She does not like the window anymore. She wants to hear the ding and see the doors open.
+
+She waits and waits. She hopes someone will come and find her. She hopes someone will push the button for the top floor. She hopes someone will hear her cry and help her.
+
+She does not know how long she waits. But then, she hears a familiar voice. She hears her mommy calling her name. She hears her mommy saying, "Where are you, Sara? I'm looking for you. I'm here to take you home."
+
+She runs to the voice. She sees her mommy at the end of the hall. She sees her mommy smiling and holding her arms out. She feels warm and happy again.
+
+She hugs her mommy and says, "I'm sorry, mommy. I was playing in the elevator and I got stuck on the top floor. I was scared and sad. I missed you and daddy."
+
+Her mommy hugs her back and says, "It's okay, Sara. I'm sorry, too. I was worried and angry. I missed you and daddy, too. But now we are together again. And we are going home."
+
+They walk to the elevator and push the button for the ground floor. They hear the ding and the doors open. They step in and hug each other. They hear the ding and the doors close. They go down and down. They are happy and safe. They do not like the big house anymore. They do not like the elevator anymore. They like their home and their family. They like to hear each other's voice and feel each other's warmth.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big bus with many people. The bus stops at a red light.
+
+"Look, Anna, a bus!" Ben says.
+
+"Wow, a bus!" Anna says. "Can we wave to the people?"
+
+"Yes, let's wave!" Ben says. They run to the sidewalk and wave their hands. Some people wave back.
+
+"Hello, hello!" Anna and Ben shout.
+
+One lady on the bus smiles and holds up a card. The card has a number on it. It is a six.
+
+"Look, Ben, a number!" Anna says.
+
+"I see it, Anna, a number!" Ben says. "Do you know what number it is?"
+
+Anna thinks hard. She remembers her mom taught her some numbers. She counts on her fingers.
+
+"One, two, three, four, five, six!" she says. "It is a six!"
+
+"Good job, Anna, you are smart!" Ben says.
+
+The lady on the bus nods and claps. She writes another number on the card. It is a four.
+
+"Can you guess this number, Ben?" Anna asks.
+
+Ben looks at the card. He also counts on his fingers.
+
+"One, two, three, four!" he says. "It is a four!"
+
+"Good job, Ben, you are smart too!" Anna says.
+
+The lady on the bus nods and claps again. She writes one more number on the card. It is a ten.
+
+"Wow, a big number!" Anna says.
+
+"Can we guess this number, Anna?" Ben asks.
+
+Anna and Ben try to count on their fingers, but they run out of fingers. They look at each other and shrug.
+
+The lady on the bus laughs and points to her toes. She has ten toes. She shows them to Anna and Ben.
+
+"Oh, I get it!" Anna says. "She has ten fingers and ten toes. That makes ten!"
+
+"That's clever!" Ben says.
+
+The lady on the bus gives them a thumbs up and a wink. She writes "You are lovely" on the card and holds it up.
+
+Anna and Ben smile and blush. They say "Thank you" and "You are lovely too".
+
+The bus starts to move. The light is green. Anna and Ben wave goodbye to the lady on the bus. The lady on the bus waves back.
+
+"Bye, bye, lady!" Anna and Ben say.
+
+"Bye, bye, kids!" the lady on the bus says.
+
+Anna and Ben hug each other. They are happy. They learned some numbers and made a new friend. They go back to the park and play some more.
+Tom and Lily are playing with their new toy. It is a laser. It makes a red light that can point at things. They like to point it at the wall, the floor, and the ceiling. They also like to point it at each other and make funny noises.
+
+"Zap! Zap! I got you, Lily!" Tom says, pointing the laser at Lily's arm.
+
+"Ow! That tickles, Tom!" Lily says, laughing and pointing the laser at Tom's leg.
+
+"Zap! Zap! I got you, Tom!" Lily says, smiling.
+
+They play like this for a long time. They are having fun.
+
+But then, Mom comes in. She sees the laser and frowns. She does not like the laser. She thinks it is dangerous. She takes it away from Tom and Lily.
+
+"Tom, Lily, this is not a good toy. It can hurt your eyes. You should not play with it. Give it to me, please." Mom says, in a serious voice.
+
+Tom and Lily are sad. They do not want to give up their toy. They like the laser. They think it is fun.
+
+"Mom, please, can we keep it? We are careful. We do not point it at our eyes. We only point it at things. Please, Mom, please." Tom says, in a pleading voice.
+
+"Mom, please, can we have it back? We are sorry. We do not know it is bad. We only want to play. Please, Mom, please." Lily says, in a begging voice.
+
+Mom shakes her head. She does not change her mind. She puts the laser in a drawer and locks it. She tells Tom and Lily to find another toy to play with. She leaves the room.
+
+Tom and Lily are very sad. They do not have their toy anymore. They do not have anything to play with. They sit on the floor and cry.
+
+But then, they see something. It is a ball. It is big and round and colorful. It is soft and bouncy. It looks fun.
+
+Tom picks up the ball. He throws it to Lily. Lily catches it. She throws it back to Tom. Tom catches it. They smile.
+
+They start to play with the ball. They toss it, roll it, kick it, and bounce it. They make funny noises. They laugh.
+
+They forget about the laser. They do not need it anymore. They have the ball. They have each other. They are happy.
+Tom and his mom went to the park to play. They had a lot of fun on the swings, the slide and the sandbox. Tom made a big castle with his shovel and bucket. He was very proud of his castle.
+
+But then it was time to go home. Mom said, "Tom, we have to catch a taxi. It's getting late and dark. Come on, let's go." She held out her hand for Tom to take.
+
+Tom did not want to go. He wanted to stay and play more. He said, "No, mom, no! I want to play more. I like my castle. I don't want to leave it." He refused to take mom's hand. He ran away from her and hid behind a tree.
+
+Mom was worried and angry. She said, "Tom, don't be naughty. We have to go home now. It's not safe to stay here. The taxi is waiting for us. Come out and take my hand, please."
+
+Tom did not listen. He stayed behind the tree. He did not see the elderly man who was walking his dog near the tree. The man saw Tom and said, "Hello, little boy. What are you doing here? Are you lost?"
+
+Tom was scared. He did not know the man or the dog. He said, "No, I'm not lost. I'm playing. Go away, please."
+
+The man said, "Playing? But it's dark and cold. Where is your mom? You should go with her. She must be looking for you."
+
+Tom peeked from behind the tree. He saw mom waving at him from the taxi. She looked sad and tired. Tom felt sorry for mom. He said, "There is mom. She wants me to go with her. But I don't want to go. I want to play more."
+
+The man said, "I understand. But you can play again tomorrow. Your mom loves you and wants you to be safe and happy. You should listen to her. She knows what's best for you. Come on, let's go to the taxi. I'll help you."
+
+Tom thought about it. He decided to listen to the man. He said, "Okay, thank you. I'll go with mom. But can I take my castle with me?"
+
+The man smiled and said, "Sure, you can. Here, I'll help you carry it. It's a very nice castle. You did a good job."
+
+Tom smiled too. He said, "Thank you. You are very nice. What is your name?"
+
+The man said, "My name is Bob. And this is my dog, Spot. What is your name?"
+
+Tom said, "My name is Tom. Nice to meet you, Bob and Spot."
+
+They walked to the taxi together. Mom hugged Tom and said, "Thank you, Bob. You are very kind. I'm sorry, Tom, for being angry. I was just worried about you. I love you very much."
+
+Tom said, "I love you too, mom. I'm sorry, too. I was just having fun. But I'm ready to go home now. Can we come back to the park tomorrow?"
+
+Mom said, "Maybe, if you behave well. Now, let's go home. Say goodbye to Bob and Spot."
+
+Tom said, "Goodbye, Bob and Spot. Thank you for helping me. See you again."
+
+Bob said, "Goodbye, Tom and mom. Have a good night. Take care."
+
+They got into the taxi and drove away. Tom looked at his castle and felt happy. He had a good day at the park. He learned to listen to mom and to be polite to strangers. He hoped to see Bob and Spot again. He fell asleep in mom's arms.
+Lily and Tom were twins who liked to travel with their mom and dad. They went to many places and saw many things. One day, they went to the beach. The water was blue and shiny, and the sand was soft and warm.
+
+"Can we swim in the water, mom?" Lily asked.
+
+"Yes, but only where it is not deep, and stay close to us," mom said.
+
+Lily and Tom put on their swimsuits and ran to the water. They splashed and played and had fun. They saw some fish and shells and seaweed. They were very happy.
+
+"Can we have some juice, dad?" Tom asked.
+
+"Sure, but first you have to dry off and put on your sun hats," dad said.
+
+Lily and Tom dried off and put on their sun hats. They drank some juice and ate some snacks. They were very thirsty and hungry.
+
+"Can we go back to the water, mom?" Lily asked.
+
+"Yes, but only for a little while, and stay close to us," mom said.
+
+Lily and Tom went back to the water. They saw a big wave coming. They wanted to jump over it.
+
+"Look, a big wave!" Tom said.
+
+"Let's jump over it!" Lily said.
+
+They ran to the wave, but it was too big and too fast. It knocked them down and dragged them away. They were scared and cold and wet.
+
+"Help, help!" Lily and Tom cried.
+
+Mom and dad heard them and ran to the water. They grabbed them and pulled them out. They hugged them and wrapped them in towels.
+
+"Are you okay, Lily and Tom?" mom asked.
+
+"Yes, mom, we are okay, but we are sorry," Lily and Tom said.
+
+"Why are you sorry?" dad asked.
+
+"Because we did not listen to you and we went to the deep water," Lily and Tom said.
+
+"That was very dangerous and foolish, Lily and Tom. You could have been hurt or lost. You have to listen to us and follow the rules when you travel. They are for your safety and happiness," mom said.
+
+"We understand, mom. We will listen to you and follow the rules next time. We love you, mom and dad," Lily and Tom said.
+
+"We love you too, Lily and Tom. Now let's go back to the hotel and rest. Tomorrow we will travel to another place and see more things," mom and dad said.
+
+Lily and Tom learned a lesson that day. They learned to listen to their parents and follow the rules when they travel. They also learned to enjoy the water, but not to go to the deep water. They had more fun and less trouble after that.
+Lily liked to write poems. She used her crayons and paper to make words and pictures. She wrote about her toys, her family, and her dreams. She was very proud of her poems.
+
+One day, she wanted to show her poems to her friend Ben. She put them in a folder and went to his house. She knocked on the door and Ben opened it.
+
+"Hi, Lily! What do you have there?" Ben asked.
+
+"I have my poems. Do you want to see them?" Lily said.
+
+"Sure, I like poems. Let's go to my room." Ben said.
+
+They went to Ben's room and sat on the floor. Lily opened her folder and pulled out a poem. It was about her teddy bear. She read it to Ben.
+
+"My teddy bear is soft and brown. He sleeps with me every night. He listens to my stories and hugs me tight. He is my best friend, my teddy bear."
+
+Ben smiled and clapped. "That's a nice poem, Lily. I like your teddy bear. Can I see another one?"
+
+Lily nodded and pulled out another poem. It was about her mom. She read it to Ben.
+
+"My mom is kind and sweet. She makes me breakfast and lunch. She helps me with my homework and plays with me. She loves me very much, my mom."
+
+Ben nodded and hugged Lily. "That's a lovely poem, Lily. I love your mom too. She is very nice to me. Do you have more poems?"
+
+Lily smiled and pulled out more poems. She had poems about her dad, her sister, her dog, and her friends. She read them all to Ben. Ben listened and liked them all.
+
+"You are very good at writing poems, Lily. They are all beautiful and fun. You are not ordinary, you are special." Ben said.
+
+Lily blushed and thanked Ben. She was happy that he liked her poems. She liked his poems too. He had poems about his bike, his cat, his teacher, and his dreams. They shared their poems and their thoughts. They had a lot in common. They were both poets and friends.
+Sara and Ben are playing restaurant in the garden. Sara is the chef and Ben is the waiter. They have a big menu with many dishes. Sara draws the dishes with crayons on paper.
+
+"Hello, welcome to our restaurant!" Ben says to his teddy bear, who is the customer. "What do you want to eat today?"
+
+Teddy bear does not answer, because he is a toy. Ben pretends he hears him. "You want the pizza with cheese and tomato? OK, I will tell the chef. Please wait here."
+
+Ben runs to the kitchen, where Sara is busy. "Sara, Sara, we have an order!" he says. "The customer wants the pizza with cheese and tomato."
+
+"OK, Ben, I will make it right away!" Sara says. She takes a paper plate and a paper circle. She glues some red paper on the circle for the tomato sauce. She cuts some yellow paper for the cheese. She puts the cheese on the sauce. She has made a pizza!
+
+She gives the pizza to Ben. "Here you go, Ben. Be careful, it is hot!" she says.
+
+Ben takes the pizza and runs back to the table. He is very happy. He wants to serve the pizza to the teddy bear. But he is not careful. He trips on a rock and falls down. The pizza flies in the air and lands on his head. He is covered with paper and glue.
+
+"Oh no!" Ben says. He feels very embarrassed. He looks at the teddy bear, who is still sitting on the chair. He thinks the teddy bear is laughing at him.
+
+Sara sees what happened. She runs to Ben and helps him up. She takes the pizza off his head and throws it away. She hugs him and says, "Don't worry, Ben. It was an accident. You are a good waiter. The teddy bear is not laughing at you. He is your friend. He still likes you."
+
+Ben smiles and hugs Sara back. He says, "Thank you, Sara. You are a good chef. And a good sister. I still like you too."
+
+They decide to make another pizza for the teddy bear. They hope he is not too hungry. They have fun playing restaurant again.
+Tom and Sue are friends. They live in a village near the big river. They like to play and help their parents.
+
+One day, they see a big boat on the river. It has many things on it. They want to see the things. They run to the boat.
+
+"Hello, can we see your things?" Tom asks the man on the boat.
+
+"Sure, come on board. I have many things from far away. Do you want to trade?" the man says.
+
+Tom and Sue look at the things. They see toys, books, clothes, and food. They like the things. They want to trade.
+
+"What do you have to trade?" the man asks.
+
+Tom and Sue think. They have some apples, some eggs, and some coins. They also have a nice blanket that Sue's mom made.
+
+They discuss what to trade. They want to be fair and smart. They do not want to give too much or too little.
+
+They decide to trade some apples and eggs for a toy car and a book. They also decide to trade some coins for a dress and a hat. They do not trade the blanket. They keep it for their parents.
+
+They thank the man and go back to the village. They are happy with their things. They show them to their parents.
+
+Their parents are proud of them. They say they did a good job. They say they were honest and careful. They say they were good friends.
+
+Tom and Sue hug their parents. They hug each other. They learn that trading is fun and easy, but also important and hard. They learn to respect and value what they have and what they get. They learn to be happy and grateful.
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play with blocks. They built houses, castles, and towers with their blocks. One day, they decided to build a volcano with their blocks. They piled up the blocks high and wide, and put a red ball on top to be the lava.
+
+They were very proud of their volcano. They showed it to their mom and dad, who said it was very good. They showed it to their dog, who wagged his tail. They showed it to their baby brother, who clapped his hands. Tom and Lily smiled and hugged each other.
+
+But then, they had a problem. They wanted to play with their blocks again, but they did not want to break their volcano. They argued about who should keep the volcano and who should play with the blocks. They shouted and pushed each other. They made each other sad and angry.
+
+Their mom and dad heard them and came to see what was wrong. They saw the volcano and the blocks and the twins. They sighed and shook their heads. They told Tom and Lily that they should share their toys and be kind to each other. They said that the volcano was very nice, but it was not worth fighting over. They said that they should be happy with what they have and not be greedy.
+
+Tom and Lily felt sorry for what they did. They said sorry to each other and hugged. They agreed to take turns playing with the volcano and the blocks. They thanked their mom and dad for their advice. They learned that sharing is caring and that being proud is good, but not too much. They played happily together with their blocks and their volcano.
+Lily did not like to bathe. She thought water was cold and soap was stingy. She liked to play with dirt and mud and bugs. She did not care if she was dirty or smelly.
+
+One day, Lily got a big rash on her arm. It was red and itchy and bumpy. She scratched it a lot, but it did not go away. It got worse and worse. Her mom was worried and took her to the doctor.
+
+The doctor was a nice lady with a white coat and a stethoscope. She looked at Lily's arm and said, "You have a bad infection. You need to take medicine and bathe every day. That will make it better."
+
+Lily did not like that. She did not want to take medicine or bathe. She said, "No, no, no!" She cried and kicked and hid under the chair. She thought the doctor was weird and mean.
+
+But her mom was firm and gentle. She said, "Lily, you have to listen to the doctor. She knows what is good for you. If you don't bathe and take medicine, your arm will get worse and you will feel very sick. Do you want that?"
+
+Lily did not want that. She wanted to feel better and play with her toys and friends. She nodded and said, "Okay, okay, okay." She let her mom give her medicine and bathe her. She did not like it, but she did it.
+
+Soon, her arm got better. The rash went away and it was not itchy or bumpy anymore. Lily was happy and healthy. She said, "Thank you, doctor. Thank you, mom." She still did not like to bathe, but she did it sometimes. She learned that water and soap were not so bad after all.
+Lily likes to dance. She has a class every week with Miss Rose. Miss Rose teaches Lily and her friends how to move with music. Lily wants to be graceful like Miss Rose.
+
+One day, Lily has a class with a new song. It is fast and fun. Lily tries to follow Miss Rose, but she feels clumsy. She trips over her feet and falls down. She hurts her knee and starts to cry.
+
+Miss Rose stops the music and runs to Lily. She hugs her and says, "Are you okay, Lily? It's okay to fall down. Everyone falls down sometimes. You are brave and strong. You can try again."
+
+Lily looks at Miss Rose and nods. She wipes her tears and stands up. She says, "Thank you, Miss Rose. I want to try again. I want to dance like you."
+
+Miss Rose smiles and says, "You are welcome, Lily. You are a good dancer. You have a lot of talent and joy. You just need to practice and have fun. You will be graceful like me someday."
+
+Lily smiles back and says, "I hope so, Miss Rose. I love dancing with you."
+
+Miss Rose says, "I love dancing with you too, Lily. Come on, let's dance together."
+
+She holds Lily's hand and leads her to the front of the class. She plays the music again and dances with Lily. Lily feels happy and confident. She follows Miss Rose and moves with music. She has a class with a new song. She has a class with grace.
+Lily liked to study books. She liked to look at the pictures and learn new words. She had many books, but her favorite was the one about animals. She loved animals very much.
+
+One day, Lily went to the zoo with her mom and dad. She was very happy to see all the different animals. She saw lions, monkeys, elephants, and more. She wanted to study them all. She asked her mom and dad many questions about the animals.
+
+At the end of the day, Lily saw a big sign that said "Adopt an Animal". She asked her mom what it meant. Her mom said that it meant you could help an animal by giving some money. The money would help the zoo take care of the animal. You would also get a picture of the animal and a certificate with your name on it.
+
+Lily thought that was a perfect idea. She wanted to adopt an animal and study it more. She looked at all the pictures of the animals that needed help. She saw a panda, a penguin, a giraffe, and a turtle. She liked them all, but she loved one the most. It was a koala. It had a cute face and fluffy ears. It looked like it liked to hug trees.
+
+Lily told her mom and dad that she wanted to adopt the koala. They said yes. They gave some money to the zoo and got a picture of the koala and a certificate. The certificate said "Lily loves Koala". Lily was very happy. She hugged the picture and the certificate. She said thank you to her mom and dad. She said she would study the koala more at home. She said the koala was her perfect friend.
+Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play in the park. They had a lot of fun on the swings, the slide and the seesaw. But one day, they had a quarrel over a toy car. Lily said it was hers, and Ben said it was his.
+
+"Give me the car, it's mine!" Lily shouted.
+
+"No, it's mine, I found it!" Ben yelled.
+
+They pulled and tugged at the car, but neither of them would let go. They were so angry that they did not see the big dog that came running towards them. The dog barked loudly and jumped on them, trying to get the car too.
+
+Lily and Ben were scared and dropped the car. They ran away from the dog, but they forgot to close the gate behind them. The dog followed them out of the park and chased them down the street.
+
+They ran and ran until they saw a dull house with a sign that said "No dogs allowed". They quickly ran inside and slammed the door. They were safe, but they were also out of breath and tired.
+
+They looked at each other and felt sorry for their quarrel. They realized that the car was not worth losing their friendship. They hugged and said sorry to each other.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily. You can have the car, I don't want it anymore." Ben said.
+
+"I'm sorry, Ben. You can have the car, I don't care about it anymore." Lily said.
+
+They smiled and decided to share the car. They also decided to be more careful with the gate next time. They learned that quarreling is not fun, and that playing together is much better.
+Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play together. They had many toys and books and games, but their favorite thing was to nap on the big couch in the living room. They would snuggle under a soft blanket and dream of happy things.
+
+One day, Anna had a nightmare. She dreamed that a big monster was chasing her and Ben, and it wanted to eat them. She woke up with a scream and started to cry. Ben woke up too and saw his sister was scared. He hugged her and asked her what was wrong.
+
+"I had a bad dream, Ben. There was a monster and it was very mean and scary. It wanted to hurt us," Anna sobbed.
+
+"Don't worry, Anna. It was just a dream. It's not real. The monster can't get us here. We are safe and cozy on the couch," Ben said.
+
+"But what if it comes back when I close my eyes?" Anna asked.
+
+Ben thought for a moment. He remembered what their grandma had told them once. She was very wise and knew many things. He said, "Grandma said that if you have a bad dream, you can make it go away by thinking of something good. Something that makes you happy and calm. Like a rainbow, or a flower, or a puppy. Or maybe a song, or a joke, or a hug. Can you think of something good, Anna?"
+
+Anna nodded. She thought of their grandma, who always smiled and baked them cookies. She thought of their dog, who licked their faces and wagged his tail. She thought of their mom, who sang them lullabies and kissed their foreheads. She felt better and smiled.
+
+"Thank you, Ben. You are a good brother. You helped me feel better. Can we nap some more?" Anna asked.
+
+"Sure, Anna. Let's nap some more. And if you have another bad dream, I'll be here to help you. I love you, Anna," Ben said.
+
+"I love you too, Ben," Anna said.
+
+They cuddled on the couch and closed their eyes. They napped and dreamed of happy things.
+Anna and Ben like to play in the park. They like to swing on the swings, slide on the slide, and run on the grass. One day, they see a big raft in the pond. It is made of wood and has a sail and a flag.
+
+"Wow, look at that raft!" Anna says. "Can we go on it?"
+
+"I don't know," Ben says. "Maybe it belongs to someone."
+
+They look around, but they do not see anyone. The raft is empty and still. Anna and Ben run to the edge of the pond. They want to touch the raft.
+
+"Be careful," Ben says. "The water is deep and wet."
+
+Anna nods. She reaches out her hand and grabs the rope that is tied to the raft. She pulls the rope and the raft comes closer. She smiles and jumps on the raft. Ben follows her.
+
+They sit on the raft and pretend to be pirates. They wave the flag and sing a pirate song. They have a lot of fun.
+
+But then, they hear a voice. It is loud and angry.
+
+"Hey, you kids! Get off my raft!"
+
+They look up and see a man. He is big and hairy. He has a hat and a hook. He is the owner of the raft. He is not happy.
+
+Anna and Ben are scared. They jump off the raft and run to the shore. They leave the rope and the flag behind.
+
+"Sorry, mister," Anna says. "We did not know it was your raft."
+
+"Yeah, sorry," Ben says. "We just wanted to play."
+
+The man grumbles and walks to the pond. He takes the rope and the flag and gets on the raft. He sails away.
+
+Anna and Ben watch him go. They feel bad. They should not have taken his raft.
+
+"Maybe we should play something else," Anna says.
+
+"OK," Ben says. "How about we swing on the swings?"
+
+"OK," Anna says. "But let's be more organized. Let's ask before we use something that is not ours."
+
+They nod and run to the swings. They swing high and low. They laugh and giggle. They have fun again. But this time, they are more careful and polite.
+Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with blocks and make towers. One day, Tom has a good idea. He wants to make a big tower with all the blocks. He tells Sam his idea.
+
+Sam likes Tom's idea. He wants to help Tom make the big tower. But he also wants to make his own tower. He thinks Tom will not mind. He takes some blocks from Tom's pile and starts to build his own tower.
+
+Tom sees what Sam is doing. He is angry. He says, "Sam, you steal my idea! You steal my blocks! That is not nice!" He tries to take back his blocks from Sam.
+
+Sam does not want to give back the blocks. He says, "No, Tom, I do not steal your idea. I have my own idea. I want to make a different tower. You have enough blocks. You can share!"
+
+Tom and Sam start to fight. They pull and push the blocks. They make a lot of noise. They knock down their towers. The blocks fall everywhere.
+
+Mom hears the noise. She comes to see what is wrong. She sees Tom and Sam and the blocks. She is not happy. She says, "Tom and Sam, what are you doing? Why are you fighting? Why are you making a mess?"
+
+Tom and Sam stop fighting. They feel sorry. They say, "Mom, we are sorry. We want to play with blocks. But we have a problem. Sam steal my idea. He take my blocks. He is not fair!"
+
+Mom says, "Tom, Sam did not steal your idea. He had his own idea. He wanted to play with you. But he should have asked you first. He should not have taken your blocks without your permission. That is not polite."
+
+She says, "Sam, Tom had a good idea. He wanted to make a big tower with all the blocks. He was ready to work hard. But you should have respected his idea. You should not have copied his idea without his consent. That is not creative."
+
+She says, "Tom and Sam, you are friends. You can play with blocks together. You can have different ideas. You can share your ideas. You can share your blocks. You can make different towers. Or you can make one big tower. But you have to be nice to each other. You have to ask and agree. You have to cooperate and help. That is how you have fun."
+
+Tom and Sam listen to Mom. They understand. They say, "Mom, you are right. We are sorry. We will be nice. We will share. We will cooperate. We will have fun."
+
+Mom smiles. She says, "That is good. I am glad. Now, clean up the mess. Then, you can play with blocks again. But be careful. Do not make too much noise. Do not knock down the towers. Do not hurt each other."
+
+Tom and Sam nod. They say, "OK, Mom. We will. Thank you, Mom."
+
+They hug Mom. They hug each other. They clean up the mess. They play with blocks again. They have different ideas. They share their ideas. They share their blocks. They make different towers. Or they make one big tower. They are nice to each other. They cooperate and help. They have fun.
+Lily was a curious girl who liked to ask many questions. She wanted to know about everything in the world. One day, she saw some blocks on the floor. They were different colors and shapes. She wondered what they were for.
+
+She picked up a block and looked at it. It was red and square. She asked her mom, "What is this?" Her mom said, "That is a block. You can use it to build things." Lily asked, "What can I build?" Her mom said, "You can build anything you want. Use your imagination."
+
+Lily was excited. She put the block down and picked up another one. It was blue and round. She asked her mom, "What is this?" Her mom said, "That is also a block. You can use it to make circles or wheels." Lily asked, "Can I make a car?" Her mom said, "Sure, you can try."
+
+Lily smiled. She started to put the blocks together. She used the blue blocks for the wheels and the red blocks for the body. She added some yellow blocks for the windows and a green block for the door. She was proud of her car. She asked her mom, "Do you like my car?" Her mom said, "I love your car. You are very creative."
+
+Lily was happy. She played with her car for a long time. She made it go vroom vroom on the floor. She asked her mom, "Can I make more things with the blocks?" Her mom said, "Of course, you can. There are many blocks to choose from. You can make a house, a tower, a train, or anything you want." Lily said, "Yay, I want to make more things. I like blocks. They are fun." Her mom said, "I'm glad you like blocks. They are good for learning and playing. You are a curious and smart girl." Lily hugged her mom and said, "Thank you, mom. You are the best."
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play together. One day, they found a big scale in their mother's room. They wanted to see how much they weigh.
+
+"Let's take turns," Tom said. "You go first, Lily."
+
+Lily stepped on the scale and looked at the number. "I weigh 30," she said proudly.
+
+Tom stepped on the scale and looked at the number. "I weigh 31," he said happily.
+
+They both smiled and hugged each other. They were happy with their weight.
+
+Then, their mother came into the room. She saw them playing with the scale and smiled.
+
+"Hello, my darlings," she said. "What are you doing?"
+
+"We are weighing ourselves, mother," Tom said. "We weigh 30 and 31."
+
+"That's wonderful," mother said. "But do you know what is more important than how much you weigh?"
+
+"What, mother?" Lily asked.
+
+"How much you love," mother said. "It doesn't matter if you are tall or short, big or small, heavy or light. What matters is how much you love yourself and others. That's what makes you beautiful and special."
+
+Tom and Lily nodded and hugged their mother. They understood what she meant. They loved their mother and each other very much. They learned that love is more important than weight.
+Ben and Mia are twins. They like to play in the park with their mom. One day, they see a big dog in the park. The dog is brown and furry. It has a long tail and a wet nose.
+
+"Look, mom, a dog!" Ben says. He runs to the dog. He wants to pet it.
+
+"Wait, Ben, be careful!" mom says. She follows him. "You have to ask the owner first. And you have to kneel down and let the dog sniff you. Then you can pet it gently."
+
+Ben kneels down and holds out his hand. The dog sniffs him and wags its tail. Ben smiles and pets the dog. The dog licks his face. Ben laughs.
+
+Mia is scared of the dog. She stays behind mom. She holds a bottle of juice in her hand. She thinks the dog is big and loud. She does not want to pet it.
+
+"Come on, Mia, don't be lazy," Ben says. "The dog is nice. He won't bite you. Come and pet him."
+
+Mia shakes her head. She does not want to go. She sips her juice.
+
+Mom sees that Mia is scared. She hugs her and says, "It's okay, Mia. You don't have to pet the dog if you don't want to. Maybe you can pet a smaller dog another day. Or maybe you can play with the ball instead."
+
+Mia nods. She likes the ball. She gives mom the bottle and takes the ball. She throws the ball to Ben. Ben catches it and throws it back. The dog chases the ball and brings it to them. They play with the dog and the ball. Mia is not scared anymore. She smiles and laughs. Mom is happy. She watches them play. They have fun in the park.
+Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play in the village. The village has many houses and shops and people. Tom and Sue like to help the people with their work.
+
+One day, Tom and Sue help the baker. The baker makes bread and cakes and pies. He has many trays and boxes and bags. Tom and Sue help him organize his things. They put the bread in the bags, the cakes in the boxes, and the pies in the trays. They make neat piles and rows. The baker is happy. He gives them a cake to share.
+
+The next day, Tom and Sue help the farmer. The farmer has many animals and plants. He has cows and pigs and chickens and sheep. He has corn and carrots and apples and pumpkins. Tom and Sue help him organize his things. They feed the animals and give them water. They pick the fruits and vegetables and put them in baskets. They make tidy groups and lines. The farmer is happy. He gives them a basket of apples to share.
+
+The last day, Tom and Sue help the tailor. The tailor makes clothes and hats and scarves and gloves. He has many fabrics and threads and buttons and needles. Tom and Sue help him organize his things. They sort the fabrics by color and size. They match the threads and buttons and needles. They make colorful stacks and patterns. The tailor is happy. He gives them a scarf and a glove to share.
+
+But Tom and Sue are careless. They do not watch where they go. They bump into the piles and rows and groups and lines. They make a big mess. The bread and cakes and pies fall down. The fruits and vegetables roll away. The fabrics and threads and buttons and needles get tangled. The people are angry. They scold Tom and Sue. They tell them to go away.
+
+Tom and Sue are sad. They say sorry to the people. They try to fix the mess. But it is too hard. They run away. They do not play in the village anymore. They learn to be careful.
+Lily was bored. She had played with all her toys, read all her books, and watched all her shows. She wanted to do something new and fun. She looked around the house for something to do.
+
+She saw the freezer in the kitchen. She wondered what was inside. She opened the door and saw many cold things. She saw ice, milk, meat, and frozen peas. She saw a box with a picture of a cake. She liked cake. She wanted to eat the cake.
+
+She took out the box and opened it. She saw a big, white cake with pink flowers. It looked yummy. She took a bite. It was hard and cold. It hurt her teeth. She did not like it. She spit it out.
+
+"Yuck!" she said. "This is not a good cake. This is a bad cake."
+
+She heard her mom coming. She quickly put the box back in the freezer and closed the door. She ran to the living room and pretended to read a book.
+
+Her mom came in and saw her. She smiled and said, "Hi, Lily. What are you doing?"
+
+"Nothing," Lily said. She sighed. She was still bored.
+Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play in the kitchen. They have a plan. They want to make a cake for mom.
+
+They find a big bowl and a spoon. They look for things to put in the bowl. They see flour, sugar, eggs, and milk. They also see some chocolate chips. They think chocolate chips are cute.
+
+They pour some flour and sugar in the bowl. They crack some eggs and add them too. They splash some milk and stir everything. They drop some chocolate chips on top. They think their cake looks good.
+
+They need to bake their cake. They look for the oven. They see a big box with a door and a knob. They think that is the oven. They open the door and put the bowl inside. They close the door and turn the knob.
+
+They wait for their cake to be ready. They hear a beep. They think their cake is done. They open the door and take out the bowl. They see a big mess. Their cake is not a cake. It is a gooey blob. It smells bad.
+
+They are sad. They do not know what went wrong. They hear mom coming. They are scared. They do not want mom to see their mess. They look for a place to hide it. They see the sink. They think the sink is a good place. They run to the sink and dump the blob inside. They turn on the water and hope the blob will go away.
+
+Mom enters the kitchen. She sees Sara and Tom. She smiles and says, "Hello, my sweeties. What are you doing in the kitchen?"
+
+Sara and Tom look at mom. They look at each other. They do not know what to say. They say, "We love you, mom."
+Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to dig and make mud pies. They also liked to run and hide behind the trees. But they did not like the big shed. The big shed was dark and scary. It had a lock on the door. Lily and Tom never went near the big shed.
+
+One day, Lily and Tom saw a shiny key on the grass. They wondered what it was for. They picked it up and looked at it. It had a funny shape. Lily had an idea. She said, "Maybe this key is for the big shed. Let's go and see."
+
+Tom was not sure. He said, "But the big shed is dark and scary. And Mom and Dad said we should not go there. What if there is something bad inside?"
+
+Lily said, "Don't be silly. There is nothing bad inside. Maybe there is something fun or pretty. Come on, let's go and see." She took Tom's hand and pulled him to the big shed. She put the key in the lock and turned it. The lock made a click. Lily pushed the door. It was open.
+
+Lily and Tom went inside the big shed. It was dark and dusty. They could not see much. They heard a noise. It sounded like a growl. They saw two big eyes. They were yellow and angry. They belonged to a grumpy bear. The bear was not happy to see Lily and Tom. He roared and moved towards them.
+
+Lily and Tom were very scared. They screamed and ran to the door. But the door was closed. The lock was on the other side. They could not open it. They were trapped in the big shed with the grumpy bear. They wished they had never found the key. They wished they had listened to Mom and Dad. They wished they had stayed in the garden.
+Ben and Lily like to play with trains. They have many trains of different colors and sizes. They make a big loop with the tracks on the floor. They put their trains on the loop and watch them go round and round.
+
+One day, Ben has a new train. It is red and shiny and makes a loud sound. Ben is very happy with his new train. He puts it on the loop and tells Lily, "Look at my train! It is the best train ever!"
+
+Lily looks at Ben's train. She thinks it is nice, but she likes her train better. Her train is blue and quiet and has a deep hole in the middle. She can put things in the hole, like coins or buttons or candy. She puts her train on the loop and tells Ben, "Look at my train! It is the best train ever!"
+
+Ben and Lily look at each other's trains. They both think their trains are the best. They start to argue. "No, my train is the best!" "No, my train is the best!" They get louder and louder. They do not hear their mom calling them for lunch.
+
+Their mom comes to the room and sees them fighting. She is not happy. She tells them, "Stop arguing! You both have nice trains. You should share and play nicely. Come on, it is time for lunch."
+
+Ben and Lily stop arguing. They look at their mom. They feel sorry. They say, "Sorry, mom. We will share and play nicely." They pick up their trains and follow their mom to the kitchen. They are hungry and ready for lunch.
+Lila and Ben were at the beach with their mom and dad. They liked to play in the sand and look for shells and rocks. Lila found a big oyster with a shiny pearl inside. She was very happy and showed it to Ben.
+
+"Wow, that's pretty!" Ben said. "Can I see it?"
+
+Lila nodded and gave him the oyster. Ben looked at it and smiled. He liked the pearl too. He wanted to keep it for himself. He put the oyster in his pocket and ran away.
+
+"Hey, give it back!" Lila shouted. She chased after him, but he was faster. She felt sad and angry. She wanted her oyster back.
+
+Mom and dad saw what was happening. They called Ben and told him to stop. They asked him why he took Lila's oyster. Ben said he liked it and wanted it. Mom and dad said that was not nice. They said he had to share and be kind to his sister. They said he had to give the oyster back to Lila and say sorry.
+
+Ben felt bad. He knew he did something wrong. He took the oyster out of his pocket and gave it back to Lila. He said sorry and hugged her. Lila forgave him and hugged him back. She said they could both look at the pearl together.
+
+Mom and dad were proud of them. They said they were good kids. They said they could have a picnic and some ice cream. Lila and Ben smiled and agreed. They waved to the sea and the birds. They felt peaceful and happy. They loved the beach and each other.
+Lily and Tom are going to a party with their dad. Dad is wearing a nice suit and a tie. He wants to look good for the party.
+
+"Can I help you, dad?" Lily asks. She likes to help dad with things.
+
+"Sure, sweetie. You can polish my shoes. They are a bit dirty. Here is a cloth and some polish." Dad gives Lily the things she needs and shows her how to rub the shoes with the cloth and the polish.
+
+"Thank you, dad. I will make your shoes shiny." Lily says. She starts to polish dad's shoes carefully. She likes to see them sparkle.
+
+Tom watches Lily and dad. He wants to help too. He sees dad's tie on the bed. He picks it up and tries to put it around his neck. He does not know how to tie a tie. He makes a big knot and pulls it tight.
+
+"Look, dad. I am wearing your tie. Do I look good?" Tom says. He walks to dad and Lily with the tie around his neck.
+
+Dad and Lily look at Tom. They see the big knot and the long ends of the tie. They laugh.
+
+"Tom, you are very funny. But that is not how you wear a tie. Let me show you how to do it right." Dad says. He unties the knot and helps Tom to put on the tie properly. He makes a small knot and adjusts the length.
+
+"There. Now you look good. You are ready for the party." Dad says. He smiles at Tom and Lily.
+
+"Yay! We are ready for the party. Let's go, dad." Lily and Tom say. They hug dad and take his hands. They go to the car and drive to the party. They have a lot of fun.
+Tom and Anna are brother and sister. They like to play in the garden. They have a big sandbox and a small pool. They make sand castles and splash water.
+
+One day, they see a big bird in the sky. It is white and has long wings. It makes a loud sound. "What is that?" Tom asks. "It is a plane," Anna says. "It can fly very high and very far. It can take people to different places."
+
+Tom and Anna wonder what it is like to fly in a plane. They want to see new things and have fun. They decide to pretend they are in a plane. They find a big cardboard box and cut out windows. They draw buttons and wheels on the inside. They put on hats and scarves. They are ready to go.
+
+They get in the box and close the flaps. They make noises like a plane. They say where they want to go. "I want to go to the beach," Tom says. "I want to see the sea and the sand and the shells." "I want to go to the mountains," Anna says. "I want to see the snow and the trees and the animals." They imagine they are flying over different lands. They are happy and excited.
+
+They play for a long time. They get tired and hungry. They hear their mom calling them. "Tom, Anna, come inside. It is time for dinner." They open the box and get out. They run to the house. They smell something good. Their mom has cooked rice and chicken and carrots. They wash their hands and sit at the table. They eat and talk. They tell their mom about their plane adventure. Their mom smiles and listens. She says, "That sounds like a lot of fun. Maybe one day you can really fly in a plane and see the world. But for now, you can dream about it." Tom and Anna nod. They finish their dinner and go to bed. They are sleepy and happy. They close their eyes and dream of flying in a plane. They dream of deep seas and high mountains. They dream of new places and new friends. They dream of being together.
+Tom and Sue are twins. They like to play with planes and cars. They want to go to the airport and see the big planes. They ask their mom and dad if they can go.
+
+Mom and dad say yes, but they have to be good and listen. They pack some snacks and toys and get in the car. They are very happy and excited. They sing songs and look out the window.
+
+They get to the airport and see the big planes. They are loud and fast. Tom and Sue want to get closer and touch them. They run away from mom and dad and go to the fence. Mom and dad shout and run after them.
+
+But it is too late. A big plane is coming to land. It is very close to the fence. Tom and Sue do not see it. They only hear a loud noise and feel a strong wind. The plane hits the fence and breaks it. Tom and Sue are scared and hurt. They cry and scream.
+
+Mom and dad get to them and hug them. They are also scared and hurt. They call for help. The people at the airport come and take them to the hospital. They are very sorry and sad. They wish they had listened to mom and dad. They say they will never go to the airport again. It is not a lovely place. It is a bad place.
+Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big thing on the grass. It is brown and hard. It has a long handle and a pointy end.
+
+"What is that?" Sara asks.
+
+"I don't know," Tom says. "Maybe it is a toy."
+
+They go closer to the big thing. They touch it. It is cold and heavy.
+
+"Can we play with it?" Sara says.
+
+"I don't think so," Tom says. "It looks old and dirty. Maybe it is not a toy. Maybe it is something else."
+
+They hear a voice behind them. It is a man. He is wearing a hat and a coat. He has a friendly smile.
+
+"Hello, children," he says. "Do you know what that is?"
+
+They shake their heads. They are curious.
+
+"That is an iron," he says. "It is a tool that people use to make clothes smooth and neat. They put it on a board and press it on the clothes. It makes them hot and flat."
+
+He shows them how he does it. He takes a cloth from his bag and puts it on the board. He takes the iron and moves it on the cloth. The cloth becomes smooth and neat.
+
+"Wow," Sara and Tom say. "That is amazing. How do you make the iron hot?"
+
+The man laughs. He points to a wire that is attached to the iron. The wire goes to a box that is plugged into a hole in the wall.
+
+"This is how I make the iron hot," he says. "The box has electricity in it. The electricity goes through the wire and into the iron. The iron gets hot and makes the cloth smooth and neat."
+
+Sara and Tom nod. They understand. They think the iron is a clever tool. They thank the man for showing them. They say goodbye and go back to play. They have learned something new today. They are happy.
+Ben and Lily were playing in the park with their new toys. Ben had a red car and Lily had a yellow doll. They were having fun, but they did not see a mysterious man watching them from behind a tree. The man had a big bag and a mean smile. He wanted to steal their toys.
+
+The man waited until Ben and Lily were busy with a slide. Then he ran to their toys and grabbed them. He put them in his bag and ran away. Ben and Lily saw him and shouted.
+
+"Hey, that's our toys! Give them back!" Ben said.
+
+"No, they are mine now! Ha ha ha!" the man said.
+
+Ben and Lily ran after him, but he was too fast. They felt sad and angry. They wanted their toys back.
+
+The man ran to his car and threw the bag inside. He was about to drive away, but he did not notice a police officer nearby. The police officer heard the children's cries and saw the man's bag. He was suspicious. He stopped the man and asked him.
+
+"What's in your bag, sir?" the police officer said.
+
+"Nothing, nothing, just some stuff," the man said.
+
+The police officer opened the bag and saw the toys. He also saw something else. It was a big ear. A fake ear, but a very realistic one. The police officer was shocked. He recognized the ear. It was the ear of a famous statue that had been stolen from a museum. The man was the thief.
+
+"Sir, you are under arrest. You stole the ear of the statue and these children's toys. You are a very bad man," the police officer said.
+
+The man tried to escape, but the police officer caught him. He put handcuffs on him and took him to his car. He also gave the toys back to Ben and Lily.
+
+"Here you go, kids. I'm sorry this man stole your toys. He will go to jail for a long time. You are very brave and smart to chase him," the police officer said.
+
+"Thank you, officer. You are very kind and strong to catch him," Ben and Lily said.
+
+They hugged their toys and smiled. They were happy again. They learned a lesson. They learned to be careful with their toys and to watch out for mysterious men.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to pretend they were explorers and look for treasures. They had a map that Lily drew with crayons and a shovel that Tom found in the shed.
+
+"Look, the map says we have to dig here!" Lily said, pointing to a spot under a big tree. "Maybe we will find gold or jewels!"
+
+Tom nodded and started to dig with the shovel. He made a big hole in the ground. Lily helped him by throwing the dirt away. They dug and dug until they saw something shiny.
+
+"Wow, what is that?" Tom asked, reaching for the shiny thing.
+
+But as soon as he touched it, a loud noise came from the hole and a lot of smoke appeared. Lily and Tom coughed and covered their eyes. They ran away from the hole, scared and confused.
+
+"What was that?" Lily asked, looking at the smoke.
+
+"I don't know, maybe it was a trap or a bomb!" Tom said, shaking.
+
+They heard a voice coming from the smoke. It was a man with a long beard and a hat. He looked old and dirty. He was holding a stick that had a star on the end.
+
+"Who are you?" the man asked, looking at Lily and Tom.
+
+"We are Lily and Tom, we were playing explorers," Lily said, bravely.
+
+"Explorers, eh? Well, you have found me, the great wizard Zed. I was hiding in this hole for a long time, waiting for someone to free me. You see, I was cursed by an evil witch who wanted to steal my magic. She put me in this hole and covered it with a spell that only a child's touch could break. And you did it, you broke the spell!"
+
+The man smiled and looked thoughtful. He waved his stick and the smoke disappeared. He climbed out of the hole and dusted himself off.
+
+"Thank you, Lily and Tom, you have done me a great favor. And as a reward, I will grant you each one wish. What do you wish for?"
+
+Lily and Tom looked at each other, surprised and excited. They had so many things they wanted to wish for. But they also remembered that they had to be home soon for dinner. They thought hard and then said together:
+
+"We wish for a big ice cream!"
+Sam and Mia liked to play with their toy cars and trucks. They had many different colors and sizes of them. They liked to make roads and bridges with blocks and books. They also liked to pretend that they had a factory where they made new cars and trucks.
+
+One day, they decided to gather all their toy cars and trucks and put them in a big box. They said that the box was their factory. They took turns to pick a toy car or truck from the box and add some stickers or paint to it. They said that they were making new models and designs.
+
+But soon, the box was empty and the floor was messy. There were stickers and paint everywhere. Some of the toy cars and trucks looked funny and some looked ruined. Sam and Mia did not know how to clean up their mess. They felt bad and sad.
+
+Then, their mom came into the room. She saw the messy floor and the box. She also saw the toy cars and trucks with stickers and paint. She smiled and said, "Wow, you have been very busy and creative. You made your own factory and your own cars and trucks. That's very impressive."
+
+Sam and Mia felt happy and proud. They said, "Thank you, mom. We had fun, but we also made a mess. Can you help us clean up?" Their mom said, "Of course, I can. But first, let's take a picture of your factory and your cars and trucks. They are very special and unique." Sam and Mia agreed and smiled. They gathered their toy cars and trucks and posed with them. Their mom took a picture and said, "You are very smart and talented. I love you." Sam and Mia said, "We love you too, mom." They hugged their mom and then helped her clean up.
+Lily and Tom were playing hide and seek in the garden. Lily was the seeker and Tom was the hider. Lily counted to ten and then opened her eyes. She looked around and saw a big cloth hanging on the clothesline. She thought Tom might be hiding behind it.
+
+She walked slowly towards the cloth, feeling excited and curious. She reached out her hand and pulled the cloth aside. But there was no Tom behind it, only a big scarecrow with a straw hat and a funny face. Lily was so surprised and scared that she screamed and ran away.
+
+Tom heard Lily's scream and came out of his hiding spot. He was hiding under the slide, where Lily never looked. He saw Lily running towards the house, crying and pointing at the scarecrow. He felt sorry for Lily and ran after her.
+
+"Lily, Lily, don't be scared! It's only a scarecrow, not a real person. It's for the birds, not for us. Come, I'll show you." Tom said, trying to calm Lily down.
+
+He took Lily's hand and led her back to the clothesline. He peeked behind the cloth and showed Lily the scarecrow. He touched its hat and its face and made funny noises. He made Lily laugh and forget her fear.
+
+"See, Lily, it's not scary, it's silly. You can touch it too, it won't hurt you." Tom said, smiling.
+
+Lily peeked behind the cloth again and saw the scarecrow. She saw that it was not scary, but silly. She touched its hat and its face and made funny noises too. She laughed with Tom and felt brave.
+
+"Thank you, Tom, for showing me. You are a good friend. Can we play hide and seek again?" Lily asked, happy.
+
+"Sure, Lily, we can play again. But this time, you hide and I seek. And no more scarecrows, OK?" Tom said, happy too.
+
+They hugged and ran to find new hiding spots. They played hide and seek until their mom called them for lunch. They had a lot of fun and learned a new word: scarecrow.
+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a new boy. He has a big bike. He rides very fast. Lily and Tom want to say hello.
+
+"Hi, I am Lily. This is Tom. What is your name?" Lily asks.
+
+The new boy stops his bike. He looks at Lily and Tom. He says, "I am Sam. I don't want to play with you. You are different."
+
+Lily and Tom are sad. They don't know why Sam says that. They are not different. They are just like him.
+
+"Why are we different?" Tom asks.
+
+Sam points at Lily's knee. She has a band-aid on it. She fell down yesterday. He says, "You have a boo-boo. You are weak. I don't have any boo-boos. I am strong."
+
+Lily feels angry. She says, "That is not nice. Having a boo-boo does not make me weak. It makes me brave. I know how to take care of it. You don't know anything."
+
+Sam gets mad. He says, "Yes, I do. I know how to ride a bike. You don't. You are slow. I am fast."
+
+Tom says, "That is not true. We can ride bikes too. We have our own bikes. They are at home. We can show you."
+
+Sam says, "I don't believe you. You are lying. You are scared of my bike. It is bigger and better than yours."
+
+Lily and Tom say, "No, we are not. We are not scared of anything. We are not lying. We are telling the truth."
+
+Sam says, "Prove it. Come with me. I will race you. The winner is the best. The loser is the worst."
+
+Lily and Tom look at each other. They don't like Sam. He is mean and rude. But they want to show him that he is wrong. They say, "OK. We will race you. But you have to be fair. No cheating."
+
+Sam says, "Fine. Follow me. The race is on." He rides away.
+
+Lily and Tom get on their bikes. They follow Sam. They hope they can win. They hope Sam will learn to be nice. They hope they can be friends.
+Ben and Lily like to play at the beach. They make sand castles and dig holes. One day, they see a man with a big cart. He has many things on his cart: hats, toys, drinks, and bags of sand.
+
+"Look, Lily, he sells sand!" Ben says. "Why does he sell sand? There is sand everywhere!"
+
+"Maybe some people want to buy sand for their gardens or their houses," Lily says. "Let's go and see."
+
+They run to the man and ask him about his sand. The man smiles and says, "Hello, kids. Do you want to buy some sand? It's very hard and strong. You can use it to make bricks or pots or sculptures."
+
+Ben and Lily are curious. They touch the sand in the bags. It feels different from the sand on the beach. It is hard and rough and sticky.
+
+"How do you make the sand hard?" Ben asks.
+
+"I mix it with water and clay and let it dry in the sun," the man says. "It takes a long time, but it's worth it. People pay a lot of money for my sand."
+
+Ben and Lily think the sand is cool, but they don't have any money. They look at each other and have an idea.
+
+"Can we trade something for your sand?" Lily asks. "We have some shells and stones and seaweed that we found on the beach."
+
+The man looks at their things and shakes his head. "No, thank you. I don't need those things. I only sell sand for money. If you want sand, you have to pay."
+
+Ben and Lily are sad. They really want some hard sand to play with. They start to walk away, but then they see another kid coming to the man. He has a big smile and a lot of coins in his hand. He wants to buy some sand.
+
+Ben and Lily are angry. They think it's not fair that he can buy sand and they can't. They decide to do something naughty. They sneak behind the man's cart and grab a bag of sand. They run away as fast as they can.
+
+The man sees them and shouts, "Hey, stop! You can't take my sand! That's stealing!"
+
+He chases them, but they are too quick. They hide behind a rock and open the bag of sand. They want to make something with it, but they are surprised. The sand is not hard anymore. It is soft and wet and messy. It spills out of the bag and onto their clothes and hair.
+
+They look at each other and feel bad. They realize they did something wrong. They took something that was not theirs. They made the man angry and sad. They wasted his hard work. They also ruined their own fun. They don't like the sand anymore. They wish they had left it alone.
+
+They decide to say sorry to the man. They pick up the bag of sand and walk back to his cart. They see him talking to the other kid, who is holding a nice pot made of hard sand. He looks happy.
+
+Ben and Lily feel ashamed. They give the bag of sand to the man and say, "We're sorry, mister. We took your sand without asking. We were silly and greedy. We didn't know it would change. We don't want it anymore. Please forgive us."
+
+The man looks at them and sees their sorry faces. He is still angry, but he is also kind. He says, "Thank you for bringing back my sand. I appreciate your honesty. I forgive you, but you have to promise me not to do it again. Stealing is wrong. You have to respect other people's things and work. If you want something, you have to earn it or ask for it nicely."
+
+Ben and Lily nod and say, "We promise, mister. We learned our lesson. We're sorry for making you unhappy. We hope you sell a lot of sand and make a lot of people happy."
+
+The man smiles and says, "Thank you, kids. You're very sweet. Here, take this as a gift. It's a small pot made of hard sand. You can use it to keep your shells and stones and seaweed. I hope you enjoy it and remember to be good."
+
+Ben and Lily are happy and grateful. They thank the man and take the pot. They hug each other and say, "We're sorry, too. We're still friends. Let's go and play with our new pot and our old things. They're more fun than the sand."
+
+They run to the beach and play with their pot and their things. They make a sand castle and put the pot on top. They think it looks beautiful. They are happy and proud. They don't want to sell or steal anything. They just want to share and have fun.
+Sara and Ben like to play in the sandbox. They have a bucket and a shovel each. They make towers and castles with the sand. They are happy.
+
+One day, they see a big log near the sandbox. It is long and round. Sara has an idea. She says to Ben, "Let's balance on the log. It will be fun." Ben nods. He likes to try new things.
+
+They put their buckets and shovels down. They climb on the log. They hold hands. They try to walk on the log. It is hard. The log rolls and wobbles. They laugh and squeal.
+
+But they do not see the cat. The cat is black and furry. It likes to play too. It sees the buckets and shovels. It jumps on them. It knocks them over. The sand spills out. The cat makes a big mess.
+
+Sara and Ben hear a noise. They look down. They see the cat and the mess. They gasp. They lose their balance. They fall off the log. They land on the sand. They are not hurt. But they are dirty and sad.
+
+The cat runs away. It does not care. Sara and Ben look at each other. They say, "Oh no! Our buckets and shovels! Our towers and castles! The cat ruined everything!" They cry. They are not happy.
+Anna liked to play soccer with her friends. She was good at kicking the ball and running fast. Sometimes, she scored goals and everyone cheered for her. She felt happy and proud.
+
+One day, she had a big game against another team. She wore her red shirt and her blue shorts. She was excited and nervous. She wanted to win and have fun. She saw her mom and dad in the crowd. They smiled and waved at her.
+
+The game started and Anna ran after the ball. She tried to pass it to her friend Tom, but a boy from the other team took it away. He ran towards Anna's goal and kicked the ball hard. Anna's goalie, Lily, jumped and caught the ball. She threw it to Anna, who ran with it towards the other goal.
+
+Anna saw a chance to score. She kicked the ball with all her might. But she kicked it too high. The ball flew over the goal and over the fence. It landed on a car that was parked outside. The car alarm went off and made a loud noise.
+
+Everyone stopped and looked at the car. Anna heard someone yell from the car. It was her dad. He had come to the game in that car. He was angry and scared. He got out of the car and checked for damage. He saw a big dent on the roof and a scratch on the window.
+
+He looked at Anna and said, "Anna, what did you do? You kicked the ball too hard. You damaged the car. You have to be more careful. You have to say sorry."
+
+Anna felt embarrassed and sad. She did not mean to hurt the car. She just wanted to score a goal. She did not know what to say. She started to cry.
+
+Her mom came to her and hugged her. She said, "It's okay, Anna. It was an accident. You don't have to cry. Dad is not really mad at you. He is just surprised and worried. He loves you and he is proud of you. You played well and you tried your best. You can say sorry and we can fix the car later. Come on, let's go back to the game. Your friends are waiting for you."
+
+Anna nodded and wiped her tears. She said sorry to her dad and gave him a kiss. He said sorry to her and gave her a hug. He said he was sorry for yelling and he was proud of her too. He said he would watch the rest of the game and cheer for her.
+
+Anna smiled and ran back to the field. She joined her friends and played the rest of the game. She had fun and she scored another goal. This time, she kicked the ball just right. It went into the net and everyone cheered for her. She felt happy and proud again.
+Anna is a big girl. She goes to university. University is a place where big people learn many things. Anna likes to learn. She has many books and papers in her room.
+
+One day, Anna has a test. She studies hard for the test. She wants to do well. She has a pencil and a paper. She writes and thinks. She finishes the test. She feels happy.
+
+Anna goes to the park with her friends. They have fun. They play and laugh. They see a big slide. The slide is very high. Anna likes high things. She wants to go on the slide. She climbs up the stairs. She sits on the slide. She slides down fast. She feels excited.
+
+Anna has a good day. She learns and plays. She is a big girl. She likes university. She likes high things. She is happy.
+Anna and Ben are playing in the garden. They have a big bucket of water and some cups and spoons. They like to pour the water and make splashes.
+
+"Look, Ben, there is a drain over there!" Anna says, pointing to a hole in the ground. "Let's see what happens if we pour water in it."
+
+"Okay, Anna, that sounds fun!" Ben says, and they take their bucket and cups to the drain. They take turns to fill their cups and pour water in the drain. They hear a gurgling sound and see bubbles.
+
+"Wow, the drain is making noises!" Anna says, laughing. "Do you think there is something inside?"
+
+"Maybe there is a frog or a fish or a monster!" Ben says, pretending to be scared. "Let's pour more water and see if it comes out!"
+
+They pour more water in the drain, but nothing comes out. They are disappointed.
+
+"Maybe we need more water," Anna says. "Let's go and get some from the tap."
+
+They leave their bucket and cups by the drain and run to the tap. They turn it on and fill their bucket. They are about to go back to the drain when they see a little girl standing by their bucket and cups. She has curly hair and a pink dress. She looks curious.
+
+"Hi, who are you?" Anna asks.
+
+"Hi, I'm Lily. I live next door. I saw you playing with the water and the drain. Can I join you?" Lily asks.
+
+Anna and Ben look at each other. They have never seen Lily before, but she seems nice. They have a lot of water and cups and spoons. They are generous.
+
+"Sure, you can join us!" Anna says. "We are trying to see if there is something in the drain. Do you want to help us?"
+
+"Yes, please!" Lily says, smiling. "That sounds fun!"
+
+They take their bucket and cups and spoons and go back to the drain. They pour water and make splashes and noises. They have a lot of fun. They make a new friend. They are happy.
+Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play video games. They have one video game that they both love. It is about cars and roads and races. They take turns to play the video game. They pass the controller to each other when their turn is over.
+
+One day, Tom comes to Sam's house. He wants to play the video game. But Sam says no. He says he is playing alone today. He says the video game is not available for Tom. He says Tom can watch him play, but he cannot pass the controller to him.
+
+Tom is sad and angry. He does not want to watch Sam play. He wants to play too. He thinks Sam is not a good friend. He thinks Sam is selfish and mean. He decides to leave Sam's house. He says he does not want to be friends with Sam anymore.
+
+Sam does not care. He keeps playing the video game. He thinks he is having fun. He thinks he does not need Tom. He thinks he is the best player. He does not notice that Tom is gone.
+
+But then, something bad happens. The video game stops working. It makes a loud noise and a black screen. Sam tries to fix it, but he cannot. He looks for the manual, but he cannot find it. He looks for the warranty, but he cannot find it. He realizes that he broke the video game. He realizes that he has no one to help him. He realizes that he has no one to play with. He realizes that he made a big mistake. He feels sorry and lonely. He wishes he was nicer to Tom. He wishes he could pass the controller to him. He wishes he could be friends with him again. But it is too late. Tom is gone. The video game is gone. Sam is alone. He cries. The end.
+Tom is a lazy cat. He likes to sleep all day on the sofa. He does not like to play with his toys or run in the garden. He only wakes up when he is hungry or thirsty.
+
+One day, Tom hears a loud noise outside. He opens his eyes and sees a big dog barking at the window. The dog looks angry and scary. Tom is afraid of the dog. He jumps off the sofa and runs to hide under the bed.
+
+"Tom, where are you?" his owner, Anna, calls. She comes into the room and sees the dog at the window. She opens the door and tells the dog to go away. The dog runs away, wagging his tail.
+
+Anna looks for Tom under the bed. She sees his fluffy tail sticking out. She pulls him out gently and hugs him. "Don't be scared, Tom. The dog is gone. He was just playing. He is my friend's dog. He came to visit us. He is a nice dog. Do you want to meet him?"
+
+Tom shakes his head. He does not want to meet the dog. He does not like dogs. He likes to sleep on the sofa. He puts his head on Anna's neck and purrs. Anna smiles and strokes his fur. "OK, Tom. You can sleep on the sofa. But maybe one day you will try to play with the dog. He is fun and friendly. He likes to play with cats. He is not lazy like you."
+Lily and Sam were best friends. They liked to play in the park with their toys. One day, it was very cold and windy. Lily and Sam wore warm coats and hats and gloves. Lily also wore a scarf that her grandma made for her. It was pink and soft and had flowers on it.
+
+They saw a big slide in the park. They wanted to go on it. But there was a boy on the slide. He was bigger than them and he looked mean. He did not let anyone else go on the slide. He shouted at the other kids and pushed them away.
+
+Lily and Sam were scared of the boy. They did not know what to do. They hid behind a bench and whispered to each other.
+
+"What can we do?" Lily whispered. "I want to go on the slide."
+
+"Me too," Sam whispered. "But the boy is not friendly. He is mean and rude."
+
+"Maybe we can talk to him," Lily whispered. "Maybe he is lonely and wants a friend."
+
+"Or maybe he will shout at us and push us too," Sam whispered. "He does not look like he wants a friend."
+
+Lily thought for a moment. She had an idea. She took off her scarf and held it in her hand.
+
+"Come on, Sam," she whispered. "Let's try something."
+
+Lily and Sam walked to the slide. The boy saw them and frowned. He was ready to shout at them and push them away. But Lily smiled at him and said, "Hello. We like your slide. It looks fun. Can we play with you?"
+
+The boy was surprised. He did not expect anyone to be nice to him. He did not know what to say. He just stared at Lily and Sam.
+
+Lily saw that the boy was cold. He did not have a coat or a hat or a scarf. He only had a thin shirt and pants. Lily felt sorry for him. She said, "You look cold. Do you want my scarf? It is warm and soft and has flowers on it. My grandma made it for me. You can have it if you want."
+
+The boy was more surprised. He did not expect anyone to share with him. He did not know what to say. He just stared at Lily and her scarf.
+
+Lily held out her scarf to the boy. She said, "Here. Take it. It is a gift. Maybe we can be friends."
+
+The boy hesitated. He did not trust anyone. He thought it was a trick. But he saw that Lily and Sam were friendly and sincere. They did not look mean or rude. They looked kind and generous. He felt something in his heart. He felt curious and grateful and hopeful.
+
+He reached out his hand and took the scarf. He wrapped it around his neck. He felt warm and cozy and happy. He smiled at Lily and Sam. He said, "Thank you. That is very nice of you. I like your scarf. It is pretty and soft and has flowers on it. Your grandma is very good. I would like to be your friend."
+
+Lily and Sam smiled back at him. They said, "You're welcome. We are happy to share with you. We would like to be your friend too."
+
+They climbed up the slide together. They took turns sliding down. They laughed and played and had fun. They forgot about the cold and the wind. They only felt the warmth and the joy of friendship.
+Lily liked to wander in the park. She saw many things that made her happy. She saw birds and flowers and swings. She saw other children who played and laughed. She wanted to join them and have fun.
+
+One day, she saw a big tent in the park. It had bright colors and music. She heard people clap and cheer. She wanted to see what was inside. She wandered away from her mom and dad. She did not tell them where she was going.
+
+She went inside the tent. She saw a man with a funny hat and a long coat. He had a big smile and a loud voice. He said, "Welcome to the circus, little girl! Do you want to see a dance?" He pointed to a big cage. Inside the cage, there was a big bear. The bear had a chain around its neck. The man pulled the chain and made the bear stand up. He made the bear dance.
+
+Lily was scared. She did not like the bear. She did not like the man. She did not like the cage. She wanted to go back to her mom and dad. She wanted to go back to the birds and flowers and swings. She wanted to go back to the other children. She tried to run away.
+
+But the man saw her. He grabbed her by the arm. He said, "No, no, no, little girl. You can't leave. You have to stay and watch the dance. You have to be part of the show. You have to be the bear's friend." He dragged her to the cage. He opened the door. He pushed her inside. He locked the door. He laughed.
+
+The bear was not gentle. The bear was angry. The bear was hungry. The bear did not want to dance. The bear wanted to eat. The bear roared. The bear pounced. The bear bit.
+
+Lily screamed. Lily cried. Lily hurt. Lily died.

+
+Sam saw what happened. He felt sorry for Tom. He wanted to help him. He had an idea. He said to Tom, "Don't cry, Tom. I have something for you. Do you mind if I share my lollipop with you?"
+
+Tom looked at Sam. He saw his big blue lollipop. He liked blue. It was his favorite color. He nodded and said, "Yes, please. Thank you, Sam. You are a good friend."

+Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to pretend they were brave explorers. They had a tent, a map and a flashlight. They were looking for treasure.
+
+But then they smelled something bad. They saw smoke and fire in the house. They were scared. They ran to the tent and grabbed the flashlight. They needed to escape.
+
+They followed the map to the back gate. They opened it and ran to the street. They saw a big red truck with a loud siren. It was a fire truck. They waved to the firemen. The firemen saw them and smiled. They were safe.

+Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big jar of cocoa in the kitchen. They wanted to drink some, but their mom said no. She said cocoa was not healthy and they had to eat their lunch first.
+
+But Lily and Tom did not listen. They waited until their mom went to the bathroom and then they sneaked into the kitchen. They opened the jar and poured some cocoa into two cups. They drank it very fast and it was very sweet.
+
+"Yum, this is so good!" Lily said.
+
+"Yes, it is!" Tom said. "Let's have some more!"
+
+They drank more and more cocoa until the jar was empty. They felt very happy and full. They did not mention the cocoa to their mom. They thought she would not notice.
+
+But their mom did notice. She came back to the kitchen and saw the empty jar and the dirty cups. She was very angry and sad. She scolded Lily and Tom for being naughty and lying. She said they had to go to their room and stay there until dinner. She said they would not get any dessert or toys.
+
+Lily and Tom felt very bad and sorry. They wished they had not drunk the cocoa. They wished they had listened to their mom. They cried and hugged each other. They learned their lesson. The end.
+Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play with their trucks and cars in the yard. They pretend to be drivers and workers. They load and unload their toys from the trucks.

+One day, they see a big truck come to their street. It is a waste truck. It stops at every house and takes the waste from the bins. Tom and Sam are curious. They want to see how the waste truck works.
+
+They run to the truck and climb on the back. They see a lot of waste inside. It smells bad. They see a button that says "press". They press the button. The truck makes a loud noise and starts to move. The waste is pushed out of the truck and falls on the street.
+
+The driver of the truck hears the noise and stops the truck. He gets out and sees the mess. He is angry. He sees Tom and Sam on the back of the truck. He shouts at them.
+
+"What are you doing here? You made a big mess! You are not supposed to touch the truck! Get down now!"
+
+Tom and Sam are scared. They get down from the truck. They are sorry. They did not mean to make a mess. They say to the driver.
+
+"We are sorry, sir. We just wanted to see the truck. We did not know what the button does. We will help you clean the mess."
+
+The driver is still angry, but he sees that they are sorry. He says to them.
+
+"OK, but you have to be careful. The truck is not a toy. It is dangerous. You could get hurt. And you have to respect other people's waste. It is not nice to throw it on the street. Now, help me load the waste back into the truck."
+
+Tom and Sam nod. They help the driver load the waste back into the truck. They learn their lesson. They say sorry again and go back to their yard. They play with their own trucks and cars. They do not touch the waste truck again.
+Tim and Lily were brother and sister. They liked to play in the forest near their house. One day, they found a bow and some arrows on the ground. They did not know who left them there, but they wanted to try them.
+
+"Look, Lily, I can shoot an arrow!" Tim said. He picked up the bow and an arrow and aimed at a tree. He pulled the string and let go. The arrow flew in the air and hit the tree with a thud.
+
+"Wow, Tim, you are good!" Lily said. She clapped her hands and smiled. She wanted to try too. She took the bow and another arrow and looked for a target. She saw a bird on a branch. She thought it would be fun to hit the bird.
+
+"No, Lily, don't shoot the bird!" Tim said. He knew it was wrong to hurt animals. He tried to stop her, but it was too late. Lily pulled the string and let go. The arrow flew in the air and hit the bird. The bird fell to the ground and did not move.
+
+Lily ran to the bird and picked it up. She felt its feathers. They were cold. She saw blood on its chest. She realized she had killed the bird. She started to cry.
+
+"Tim, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to!" Lily said. She hugged the bird and sobbed.
+
+Tim felt sad and angry. He threw the bow and the arrows away. He did not want to play with them anymore. He went to Lily and tried to comfort her.
+
+"It's okay, Lily, it was an accident. But you should not have shot the bird. It was alive and happy. Now it is dead and gone. You should be careful with what you do. You should not hurt others. You should be kind and gentle." Tim said.
+
+Lily nodded and wiped her tears. She wished she could undo what she had done. She wished the bird could fly again. She wished she could dream a better dream.
+
+The moral value of the story is: Do not hurt others. Be kind and gentle. Be careful with what you do.
+Sara was fearful of the dark. She did not like to sleep in her bed when the sun went down. She heard noises and saw shadows that made her scared. She wanted to stay with her mom and dad in their bed.
+
+One night, her mom and dad said, "Sara, you are a big girl now. You need to sleep in your own bed. We are right next door if you need us. There is nothing to be afraid of in the dark. It is just quiet and peaceful. Try to relax and think of happy things."
+
+Sara did not want to go to her bed. She cried and begged to stay with them. But her mom and dad were firm. They gave her a hug and a kiss and tucked her in. They left a night light on and a teddy bear to keep her company. They said, "Good night, sweetie. We love you."
+
+Sara felt lonely and fearful in her bed. She hugged her teddy bear and closed her eyes. She heard a noise outside her window. She opened her eyes and saw a big shadow on the wall. She screamed, "Mom! Dad! Help!"
+
+Her mom and dad came running to her room. They turned on the light and saw a branch moving in the wind. They said, "Sara, it is just a branch. It is not a monster. It is not going to hurt you. See? It is just a tree."
+
+Sara looked at the branch and felt silly. She said, "Sorry, mom and dad. I was scared. Can you stay with me for a little while?"
+
+Her mom and dad smiled and said, "Of course, honey. We will stay with you until you fall asleep. You are brave and strong. You can sleep in your own bed. Just relax and breathe. We are here for you."
+
+They cuddled with Sara and sang her a lullaby. Sara felt calm and safe. She closed her eyes and drifted into a peaceful sleep. She was not fearful of the dark anymore. She was happy in her bed.
+Lily is a smart girl who likes to learn new things. She goes to a lab with her dad, who is a scientist. He shows her how to rub a balloon on her hair and make it stick to the wall. Lily thinks this is fun and laughs.
+
+"Wow, dad, how does it work?" she asks.
+
+"It's because of something called electricity," he says. "When you rub the balloon, you make tiny sparks that you can't see. They make the balloon and the wall have different charges. Charges are like magnets that can pull or push things. The balloon and the wall pull each other because they have opposite charges."
+
+Lily nods and tries to rub another balloon. She sees a big machine in the corner of the lab. It has wires and buttons and lights. She is curious and walks towards it.
+
+"Dad, what is that?" she asks.
+
+"That is a very special machine that can measure electricity," he says. "But it is very delicate and dangerous. You can't touch it, okay?"
+
+Lily says okay, but she still wants to see it closer. She reaches out her hand with the balloon and touches one of the wires. Suddenly, there is a loud zap and a flash. The machine sparks and smokes. Lily drops the balloon and screams. Her dad runs to her and hugs her.
+
+"Lily, are you okay?" he asks.
+
+Lily is scared and cries. She says she is sorry. Her dad says it's okay, he is not mad. He says she is brave and smart, but she has to be careful. He says he will fix the machine later. He says they should go home and have some ice cream. Lily likes ice cream. She smiles and says yes. They leave the lab and go to the car. Lily still feels the electricity in her hair. She thinks it is funny and giggles.
+Ben and Mia were playing in the park with their kites. They liked to watch them fly high in the sky and make shapes with the strings. Ben had a red kite with a long tail and Mia had a blue kite with a star.
+
+"Look, Mia, my kite is flying faster than yours!" Ben said.
+
+"No, mine is flying higher than yours!" Mia said.
+
+They ran and laughed and tried to make their kites fly better. But then a big wind came and blew Ben's kite away. It flew over the trees and the road and the houses. Ben was sad and scared. He did not want to lose his kite.
+
+"Ben, don't worry, maybe we can find your kite later," Mia said. She tried to be a good friend.
+
+But Ben did not listen. He ran after his kite. He did not see the cars and the bikes and the people. He only saw his kite. He crossed the road without looking. He did not hear the horn of the truck. He did not feel the bump.
+
+Mia saw what happened. She screamed and cried. She ran to Ben. He was lying on the ground. He was not moving. He was bleeding. Mia was very scared. She did not know what to do.
+
+A man saw them. He had a phone. He called for help. He said Ben needed to go to the hospital. He said the hospital was a place where doctors and nurses could make Ben better. He said Mia could go with Ben. He said he was sorry.
+
+Soon a big car with lights and sounds came. It was an ambulance. The ambulance took Ben and Mia to the hospital. Mia held Ben's hand. She hoped he would wake up. She hoped he would be okay.
+
+At the hospital, the doctors and nurses looked at Ben. They gave him medicine and bandages. They said he had a mild head injury. They said he would be fine. They said he was lucky. They said Mia was brave.
+
+Ben opened his eyes. He saw Mia. He smiled. He said he was sorry. He said he was silly. He said he loved his kite. He said he loved Mia more.
+
+Mia hugged Ben. She said she was happy. She said she was sorry too. She said she loved his kite. She said she loved him more.
+
+They smiled and laughed and cried. They were happy. They were friends. They still liked to fly kites. But they learned to be careful. They learned to look and listen. They learned to be safe.
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys. But sometimes they fight over them. One day, they both want the same boat. It is a red boat with a blue sail. They pull and tug on the boat.
+
+"Mine!" Lily says.
+
+"No, mine!" Ben says.
+
+They make a loud row. Mom hears them and comes to see what is wrong. She sees the twins and the boat.
+
+"Stop, stop!" Mom says. "You have to share. You have many toys. Why don't you take turns with the boat?"
+
+Lily and Ben do not want to share. They resist Mom's words. They hold on to the boat.
+
+"But I saw it first!" Lily says.
+
+"But I like it more!" Ben says.
+
+Mom shakes her head. She has an idea. She picks up a chubby teddy bear. It is brown and soft. She shows it to the twins.
+
+"Look, here is another toy. It is a nice teddy bear. Who wants to play with it?"
+
+Lily and Ben look at the teddy bear. They think it is cute. They let go of the boat.
+
+"I want it!" Lily says.
+
+"No, I want it!" Ben says.
+
+They start to pull and tug on the teddy bear. They make another row. Mom sighs. She wonders how to make them stop.
+Ben and Mia were twins who liked to play in the park. They had a big bucket and a small shovel to make sand castles. They also had a ball to kick and throw.
+
+One day, the sky was gloomy and the wind was cold. Ben and Mia did not want to stay at home. They put on their coats and hats and went to the park with their mom. They hoped the sun would come out soon.
+
+They found a spot near the swings and started to build a sand castle. Ben dug a hole and Mia filled the bucket. They turned the bucket over and made a tower. They did this again and again until they had a big castle with four towers.
+
+"Look at our castle, mom!" Ben said proudly. "It's the best castle ever!"
+
+Mom smiled and took a picture. "It's very nice, Ben and Mia. But be careful, the wind is getting stronger. It might blow your castle away."
+
+Ben and Mia did not listen. They wanted to make their castle bigger and better. They ran to get more sand from the other side of the park. They left their bucket and shovel near the swings.
+
+While they were gone, a big boy came to the swings. He saw the bucket and shovel and wanted to play with them. He did not see the castle or care about it. He grabbed the bucket and shovel and ran away.
+
+Ben and Mia came back with more sand. They looked for their bucket and shovel, but they were gone. They saw the big boy running away with them. They also saw their castle, half-destroyed by the wind.
+
+"Hey, that's ours!" Ben shouted. "Give them back!"
+
+The big boy did not stop. He did not care. He laughed and kept running.
+
+Ben and Mia felt very sad and angry. They wanted to chase the big boy, but he was too fast. They wanted to fix their castle, but it was too late. The wind had blown it all away.
+
+They cried and hugged each other. Mom came and tried to comfort them. She said they could get new toys and make a new castle another day. But Ben and Mia did not want to hear that. They wanted their bucket and shovel and their castle back.
+
+They shut their eyes and wished they had stayed at home.
+Tim and Lily went to the harbor with their dad. They wanted to see the big boats and the water. Dad said they could also observe the birds and the fish.
+
+"Look, Tim, there is a seagull!" Lily said, pointing to the white bird on a pole. "It has a yellow beak and black wings."
+
+"I see it, Lily. It is very pretty," Tim said. He liked the seagull too. He wondered what it was saying with its loud cry.
+
+"Can we go on a boat, Dad?" Lily asked. She was impatient to ride on the water. She liked the waves and the wind.
+
+"Not today, Lily. The boats are too busy and too expensive," Dad said. He smiled and hugged her. "But we can watch them from here. See, there is a big boat with a red flag. It is going to another place. Maybe it has people or things inside."
+
+"Wow, that is a big boat!" Tim said. He observed the boat with his eyes. He imagined what it was like to be on it. He wanted to go to another place too.
+
+They stayed at the harbor for a long time. They saw many boats and birds and fish. They had fun and learned new things. They were happy.
+Tom and Lily are brother and sister. They like to play in the park with their mom and dad. One day, they see a big slide in the park. They want to try it.
+
+"Can we go on the slide, mom?" Tom asks.
+
+"Sure, but be careful. It is very high and fast," mom says.
+
+Tom and Lily run to the slide. Tom goes first. He sits on the slide and holds the sides. He slides down very fast. He feels the wind in his hair and the sun on his face. He is happy. He laughs.
+
+"Wow, that was fun!" he says.
+
+Lily goes next. She sits on the slide and holds the sides. She slides down very fast. She feels the wind in her hair and the sun on her face. She is happy. She laughs.
+

+
+"We love you, too, Tom and Lily!" mom and dad say.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to go to the park with Mom and Dad. They see many things on the way. They see cars, trees, birds, and a big billboard. The billboard has a picture of a cake. It says, "Try our sweet cake. It is yummy and soft."
+
+Anna and Ben love cake. They ask Mom and Dad, "Can we have cake? Please, please, please?" Mom and Dad smile and nod. They say, "Yes, we can have cake. But first, we have to go to the park and play. Then, we can go to the bakery and buy cake."
+
+Anna and Ben are happy. They run to the park and play. They slide, swing, and climb. They have fun with other kids. They are tired and hungry. They say, "We are ready for cake. Let's go to the bakery."

+
+He takes a big breath and dives into the water. He swims fast and grabs the ball. He feels happy and proud. He comes up and shows Mia the ball.
+

+Lily and Tom were playing with their toys on the carpet. They had dolls, cars, blocks and books. They liked to make up stories and act them out. Lily was a princess and Tom was a knight. They had a castle and a dragon.
+
+But then, Mom came and said it was time to go. They had to leave the carpet and put their toys away. They had to go to the store with Mom and get some food. Lily and Tom did not want to go. They wanted to keep playing. They said no to Mom.
+
+Mom was not happy. She said they had to go now or they would be late. She said they could play later when they came back. She said they had to be good and listen. She said they could have a treat if they were good.
+
+Lily and Tom still did not want to go. They cried and whined and stomped their feet. They said they hated the store. They said they did not want a treat. They said they wanted to stay on the carpet.
+
+Mom was very angry. She said they were being naughty and rude. She said they had to go now or they would have no treat and no playtime. She said they would have to eat something sour for dinner. She said they would have to go to bed early.
+
+Lily and Tom did not like that. They did not want to eat something sour. They did not want to go to bed early. They did not want to make Mom angry. They decided to be good and listen.

+Lily and Ben were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They gave him a carrot nose and two rocks for eyes. They were very happy.
+
+"Look at our snowman!" Lily said. "He is so fancy!"
+
+"Yes, he is!" Ben said. "But he looks cold. Do you think he can shiver?"
+
+Lily thought for a moment. She did not know what shiver meant. She asked Ben.
+
+"Shiver is when you are very cold and your body moves like this." Ben said. He showed Lily how to shiver. He shook his arms and legs and teeth.
+
+"Oh, I see." Lily said. "I can shiver too." She copied Ben and shivered.
+
+They laughed and shivered together. They pretended they were snowmen too.
+
+But soon they felt too cold. They stopped shivering and ran to the house. They wanted to get warm and drink hot chocolate.
+
+"Bye, snowman!" Lily said. "We will come back and play with you later."
+
+"Bye, snowman!" Ben said. "Don't shiver too much!"
+
+They waved to the snowman and went inside. The snowman smiled and shivered a little. He was glad to have friends.
+Lily was a little girl who liked to touch everything. She touched the flowers, the toys, the books, and the animals. She wanted to know how they felt and what they did. But sometimes she touched things that were not good for her. She touched the stove, the scissors, and the soap. They hurt her, cut her, and made her eyes sting. Her mom and dad told her to be careful and to ask before she touched something.
+
+One day, Lily saw a big box in the living room. It had a bow and a tag that said "For Lily". She was very curious and excited. She thought it was a surprise for her. She wanted to touch it and open it. She did not ask her mom and dad. She ran to the box and pulled the bow. She lifted the lid and looked inside.
+
+But there was nothing in the box. It was empty. Lily felt sad and confused. She wondered why her mom and dad gave her an empty box. She started to cry. Her mom and dad heard her and came to the living room. They saw the box and Lily.
+
+"What's wrong, Lily?" her mom asked.
+
+"Why did you give me an empty box?" Lily sobbed.
+
+"We didn't give you an empty box, Lily," her dad said. "That box was for the charity. We were going to fill it with clothes and toys and books for the children who don't have them. We wanted to teach you to share and to be kind. But you opened it without asking us. You spoiled the surprise."
+
+Lily felt ashamed and sorry. She realized that she had been selfish and naughty. She had touched something that was not hers. She had missed the chance to help others. She had disappointed her mom and dad.
+
+"I'm sorry, mom and dad," Lily said. "I was wrong to touch the box. I didn't know it was for the charity. I wanted to see the surprise. But I learned my lesson. I don't want to touch everything anymore. I want to listen to you and to be good. Can I still help you fill the box?"
+
+Her mom and dad hugged her and smiled. They were glad that Lily understood her mistake and wanted to make up for it. They told her that they loved her and that they were proud of her. They said that she could still help them fill the box and that they had another surprise for her.
+
+They took her to her room and showed her a new doll. It was very attractive. It had long hair, a pretty dress, and a shiny necklace. It was a gift for Lily. Lily was very happy and grateful. She thanked her mom and dad and gave them a kiss. She hugged her doll and said that she would take good care of it. She learned that touching is not always good and that surprises are better when they are shared.
+Lila and Ben were twins who liked to play in the garden. They had many toys, but they always wanted more. One day, they saw a big box in the corner of the garden. They ran to see what was inside.
+
+"Wow, look at all these olives!" Lila said, picking up a handful of green and black fruits. "They smell funny, but they look yummy. Let's eat them!"
+
+"No, don't eat them!" Ben said, pushing Lila away. "They are filthy! They have dirt and bugs on them. They are not for eating. They are for making oil. Mom told me."
+
+Lila ignored Ben. She thought he was silly and bossy. She put an olive in her mouth and bit it. She made a face and spat it out. It was bitter and sour. She felt sick.
+
+"See, I told you!" Ben said, laughing. "You are silly and greedy. You should listen to me. I know better."
+
+Lila felt angry and sad. She wished she had listened to Ben. She realized he was not silly and bossy. He was smart and caring. She said sorry to Ben and hugged him.
+
+"I'm sorry, Ben. You are right. I was silly and greedy. I should listen to you. You are smart and caring. Can we still be friends?"
+
+"Of course, Lila. You are my sister. I love you. But next time, don't eat filthy olives. They are bad for you. Let's go and wash our hands and play with our toys."
+
+Lila and Ben learned a lesson. They learned to listen to each other and not to eat filthy things. They learned to be happy with what they had and to share their toys. They played happily in the garden.

+
+But then, a big wave comes and rocks the kayak. Sara and Ben feel scared. They hold on tight and try to balance. The ducks fly away. The kayak tips over and Sara and Ben fall into the water. They are wet and cold.
+
+They swim to the shore and find their mom and dad. Mom and dad hug them and wrap them in towels. They are glad that Sara and Ben are safe. They say, "You had a big adventure, but now you need to rest." They take them to the car and drive home.

+
+One day, Lily and Ben are playing with Milo in Lily's room. They have a big blanket on the floor. They pretend it is a lake and they are fish. Milo pretends he is a shark and tries to catch them. They laugh and have fun.
+
+But then, Ben has an idea. He wants to spread the blanket over the bed and make a fort. He thinks it will be more fun. He tells Lily and Milo to come with him. But Lily does not want to. She likes the lake game. She tells Ben and Milo to stay with her.
+
+Ben and Lily start to argue. They both want to play their own game. They pull the blanket from each other. Milo gets scared. He does not like the noise and the tug. He runs away and hides under the bed.
+
+Lily and Ben stop arguing. They see that Milo is gone. They feel sorry. They love Milo. They want him to play with them. They call his name and look for him. They find him under the bed. He looks sad and scared.
+
+Lily and Ben say sorry to Milo. They say sorry to each other too. They decide to play a new game. They spread the blanket over the bed and the floor. They make a big tent. They invite Milo to join them. Milo is happy. He comes out and snuggles with them. They all play and have fun. They are friends again.
+Ben and Lily are twins. They like to play in the garden with their dog, Spot. Spot is a lively dog. He runs and jumps and barks a lot.
+
+One day, Ben and Lily see some red things in the garden. They are tomatoes. Their mom grows them in a big pot. Ben and Lily want to pick some tomatoes. They think they are balls.
+
+"Look, Lily, red balls!" Ben says. He runs to the pot and grabs a tomato.
+
+"No, Ben, not balls, tomatoes!" Lily says. She knows what tomatoes are. She likes to eat them in salads. "Mom will be mad if you pick them!"
+
+But Ben does not listen. He throws the tomato to Spot. Spot catches it in his mouth and bites it. Juice and seeds come out. Spot makes a funny face. He does not like tomatoes.
+
+"Yuck!" Spot says. He spits out the tomato.
+
+Ben and Lily laugh. They think Spot is funny. They pick more tomatoes and throw them to Spot. Spot tries to catch them, but he does not like them. He makes more funny faces.
+
+"Stop, stop, stop!" Mom says. She comes to the garden and sees the mess. She is not happy. She sees the tomatoes on the ground and in Spot's mouth. She sees Ben and Lily smiling.
+
+"Ben, Lily, what are you doing?" Mom says. "These are not balls, these are tomatoes! They are for eating, not for playing!"
+
+"Sorry, Mom," Ben and Lily say. They feel bad. They did not know Mom wanted the tomatoes.
+
+"It's okay, sweeties," Mom says. She hugs them. "But next time, please ask me before you pick anything from the garden. And maybe you can help me wash the tomatoes and make a salad for lunch. Do you want to do that?"
+
+"Yes, Mom," Ben and Lily say. They like to help Mom. They also like to eat salads. They hope Spot will like them too.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a big box with toys. They share the toys and have fun.
+
+One day, Anna is sick. She cannot go to the park. She stays at home with her mom. She misses Ben. She wants to play with him.

+Ben goes to the park. He looks for Anna. He does not see her. He is sad. He misses Anna. He wants to play with her.
+
+He sees the big box with toys. He has an idea. He takes some toys from the box. He puts them in his bag. He runs to Anna's house.
+
+He knocks on the door. Anna's mom opens the door. She sees Ben. She smiles.
+

+
+He shows her his bag. He opens it. He takes out the toys. He has a doll, a car, a ball and a lock.
+

+Lily and Ben were playing in the woods. They liked to find sticks and stones and make houses for the bugs. They heard a sound like water. They followed the sound and saw a creek. The creek was shiny and clear. They wanted to cross the creek and see what was on the other side.
+
+"Let's go, Lily!" Ben said. He took off his shoes and socks and stepped into the water. It was cold and wet. He giggled and splashed.
+
+"Wait for me, Ben!" Lily said. She took off her shoes and socks too and followed Ben. But she was scared. The water was deep and fast. She felt the rocks under her feet. They were slippery and sharp. She trembled and cried.
+
+"Ben, I don't like this! It's too hard! I want to go back!" Lily said.
+
+Ben looked back and saw Lily. She was halfway across the creek. She was holding onto a branch. She looked sad and scared.
+
+"Don't cry, Lily! You can do it! I'm here for you!" Ben said. He walked back to Lily and held her hand. He helped her cross the creek. They reached the other side. They were wet and cold. But they were happy. They hugged each other.
+
+"Thank you, Ben! You are a good brother!" Lily said.
+
+"You're welcome, Lily! You are a brave sister!" Ben said.
+
+They saw a big tree with red apples. They picked some apples and ate them. They were sweet and juicy. They were delicious. They smiled and shared. They forgot about the creek. They had fun. They were friends.
+Anna liked to make bracelets with beads and strings. She had many colors and shapes of beads. She liked to give her bracelets to her friends and family. They said her bracelets were pretty and thanked her.
+
+One day, Anna wanted to make a bracelet for her teacher, Miss Lee. She thought Miss Lee was very nice and smart. She wanted to make a bracelet that Miss Lee would love. She looked at her beads and picked the ones that matched Miss Lee's dress. She had blue, white, and yellow beads. She also had a special bead that had a star on it. She thought it was the best bead.
+
+She started to attach the beads to the string. She made a pattern with the colors. She put the star bead in the middle. She was very careful and did not drop any beads. She was almost done when her brother, Ben, came into her room.
+
+"Hi, Anna. What are you doing?" Ben asked.
+
+"I'm making a bracelet for Miss Lee. Do you like it?" Anna showed him her bracelet.
+
+"Wow, that's very nice. Miss Lee will love it. Can you make one for me too?" Ben asked.
+
+"Sure, Ben. What colors do you like?" Anna asked.
+
+"I like green and red and black. And can you put a car bead on it?" Ben said.
+
+"OK, Ben. I have those colors and a car bead. But you have to wait. I have to finish this one first." Anna said.
+
+"OK, I'll wait. You're very good at making bracelets, Anna. You're very popular." Ben said.
+
+"Thank you, Ben. You're very kind." Anna said.
+
+She finished the bracelet for Miss Lee and tied a knot. She put it in a small box and wrapped it with a ribbon. She was very happy with her bracelet. She hoped Miss Lee would like it too. She also made a bracelet for Ben with his favorite colors and a car bead. He was very happy too. He put it on his wrist and smiled. Anna and Ben hugged each other. They loved making and giving bracelets.
+Bella was a lonely fox. She had no friends to play with in the forest. She liked to bounce on the soft grass and chase the butterflies, but she wished she had someone to share her fun with.
+
+One day, she saw a big ball near the river. It was red and shiny and looked very bouncy. Bella ran to the ball and touched it with her nose. It bounced away and landed on the other side of the river. Bella wanted to bounce the ball again, so she jumped into the water and swam across.
+
+But when she got to the other side, she saw another fox holding the ball. He was brown and fluffy and had a friendly smile. He said, "Hi, I'm Ben. This is my ball. Do you want to play with me?"
+
+Bella was surprised and happy. She said, "Yes, please. I'm Bella. I love to bounce. Can we bounce the ball together?"
+
+Ben nodded and threw the ball to Bella. She caught it with her paws and bounced it back to him. They bounced the ball for a long time, laughing and talking. They also played hide and seek and tag and shared some berries. Bella felt very happy. She had found a friend.
+
+She said, "Thank you, Ben. You are very nice. Can we play again tomorrow?"
+
+Ben said, "Of course, Bella. You are very nice too. I'm glad I met you. You are not lonely anymore."
+
+Bella smiled and hugged Ben. She said, "No, I'm not lonely anymore. I have you."
+One day, Lily and Ben went to the park with their mom. They saw a big hill with a lot of kites flying in the sky. Lily and Ben wanted to fly a kite too, so they asked their mom to buy them one.
+
+Mom bought them a kite that looked like a bird. It had blue and yellow feathers and a long tail. Lily and Ben were very happy. They ran to the hill and tried to make their kite soar.
+
+"Look, mom, our kite is flying!" Lily shouted.
+
+"Wow, it's so high and fast!" Ben said.
+
+They took turns holding the string and watching their kite soar. They felt like they were flying too.
+
+Suddenly, they heard a loud roar. They looked up and saw a giant dragon in the sky. It had red scales, green eyes and a fiery breath. It was flying towards the kites and snapping at them.
+
+"Oh no, the dragon is going to eat our kite!" Lily cried.
+
+"Run, run, run!" Ben yelled.
+
+They dropped the string and ran back to their mom. The other kids and their parents also ran away from the hill. The dragon chased the kites and tore them apart.
+
+But then, something strange happened. The dragon stopped roaring and started laughing. It was not a real dragon, but a giant kite that someone had made. It had a speaker inside that made the roar sound. The person who flew the dragon kite was a cheerful man who liked to make jokes. He saw the scared kids and felt sorry.
+
+"Sorry, kids, I didn't mean to scare you. It was just a prank. I hope you're not mad at me," he said.
+
+He flew his dragon kite down and gave the kids some candy. He also helped them fix their kites or gave them new ones. He said he was sorry again and promised not to do it again.
+
+Lily and Ben were still a bit scared, but they forgave the man. They thanked him for the candy and the kites. They decided to fly their kites again, but this time, they stayed away from the dragon kite. They had fun soaring their kites and watching the sky. They learned that kites can be fun, but also tricky. They also learned to be brave and kind.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big slide and ran to it. Lily went first and slid down fast. She laughed and felt happy. Ben followed her and slid down too. He smiled and felt happy too.
+
+They saw a man with a big box. He opened the box and took out a toy. It was a tiger. It was orange and black and had a long tail. The man said, "Hello, children. Do you like tigers?"
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They liked tigers. They thought they were cool and strong. The man said, "This is a special tiger. It can talk and sing and dance. Do you want to play with it?"
+
+Lily and Ben looked at each other. They were curious and excited. They said, "Yes, please!"
+
+The man said, "OK, then. I will offer you a deal. You can play with the tiger for ten minutes, but then you have to give me something in return. Something you like very much. Do you agree?"
+
+Lily and Ben thought for a moment. They wondered what the man wanted. They had many things they liked very much. Their toys, their books, their snacks, their clothes. They did not want to give them away. But they also wanted to play with the tiger. It looked so fun and cheerful. They said, "OK, we agree."
+
+The man smiled and gave them the tiger. Lily and Ben took it and thanked him. They hugged the tiger and talked to it. The tiger said, "Hello, I'm Tony. I'm a cheerful tiger. I like to sing and dance. Do you want to sing and dance with me?"
+
+Lily and Ben said, "Yes, we do!" They sang and danced with the tiger. They had a lot of fun. They forgot about the time and the man. They forgot about the deal. They only wanted to play with the tiger. They did not know that the man was watching them. He was waiting for the ten minutes to end. He had a plan. He wanted to take something from them. Something they liked very much. Something they did not expect. He wanted to take their parents.
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play in their room. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big mattress that they could jump on and roll on. Sometimes they pretended it was a boat, or a castle, or a spaceship.
+
+One day, they found a pair of scissors in their mom's drawer. They wondered what they could do with them. They looked around the room and saw the mattress. They had an idea.
+
+"Let's cut the mattress and see what's inside!" Tom said.
+
+"OK, but don't tell mom!" Lily said.
+
+They took the scissors and went to the mattress. They made a small hole and peeked inside. They saw some white and fluffy stuff.
+
+"Wow, it's like cotton!" Tom said.
+
+"Can we take some out?" Lily asked.
+
+"Sure, why not?" Tom said.
+
+They started to pull out the white stuff and make a pile on the floor. They thought it was fun and soft. They didn't notice that the hole was getting bigger and bigger.
+
+Soon, their mom came to check on them. She saw the mess and the ruined mattress. She was very angry and sad.
+
+"Tom! Lily! What have you done?" she shouted.
+
+"We cut the mattress, mom. We wanted to see what's inside." Tom said.
+
+"That was a very bad thing to do. You could have hurt yourselves with the scissors. And you wasted a good mattress. Do you know how much it cost?" she said.
+
+"No, mom. We're sorry, mom." Lily said.
+
+Mom sighed. She was not a mean mom. She was a mild mom. She loved her twins very much. But she also wanted them to learn from their mistakes.
+
+"You have to clean up this mess and help me fix the mattress. And you have to promise me never to cut anything without my permission. Do you understand?" she said.
+
+"Yes, mom. We understand. We promise." Tom and Lily said.
+
+They hugged their mom and said they were sorry again. Then they helped her clean up and fix the mattress. They learned their lesson and never cut anything again.
+Lila and Tom were friends who lived in a small village. They liked to play in the fields and the woods, but sometimes they got bored. One day, they decided to explore the old castle on the hill. They had heard stories that it was haunted by a ghost, but they were not afraid.
+
+They walked up the hill and found a big gate. It was rusty and broken, but they pushed it open and went inside. The castle was dark and dusty, and they saw many rooms and stairs. They went from room to room, looking for the ghost. They did not find it, but they found many old things, like books, clothes, and swords.
+
+In one room, they saw a big chest. It was locked, but Tom had a key that he had found in another room. He put the key in the lock and turned it. The chest opened with a loud creak. Lila and Tom looked inside and saw a lot of shiny things, like coins, jewels, and crowns.
+
+"Wow, look at all this treasure!" Tom said. "We are rich!"
+
+"Let's take some of it!" Lila said. "We can buy anything we want!"
+
+They kneeled down and started to fill their pockets with the treasure. They did not notice that the door of the room had closed behind them. They also did not notice that the chest had a trap. As soon as they touched the treasure, a loud bell rang and a voice shouted.
+
+"Who dares to steal from the king?" the voice said. "You are trapped in the castle, and you will never get out!"
+
+Lila and Tom were scared. They dropped the treasure and ran to the door. They tried to open it, but it was locked. They banged on the door and shouted for help, but no one heard them. They were alone in the hot and dark room, with the angry voice and the ringing bell. They wished they had never come to the castle. They wished they had stayed in the village and played in the fields and the woods. They wished they had listened to the stories about the ghost.
+Sara was very happy. It was her birthday and she had a big cake with candles. She also had many presents from her family and friends. She opened them one by one and said thank you.
+
+She got a doll, a book, a puzzle, and a ball. She liked them all. But there was one more present. It was from her grandma. Sara opened it and saw a sweater. It was pink and had flowers on it. Sara did not like it. She liked blue and stars.
+
+She made a face and said, "I don't want this sweater. It is not pretty. It is not fun. I want something else."
+
+Her grandma looked sad. She said, "I made this sweater for you, Sara. I used my needles and yarn. I worked very hard. I thought you would like it. It is warm and soft. It is charming."
+
+Sara felt bad. She saw that her grandma loved her and wanted to make her happy. She also remembered that her grandma was always nice to her. She gave her cookies and hugs and stories. She was sorry for being rude.
+
+She said, "I'm sorry, grandma. I was wrong. You did not have to make me a present. You are the best present. I love you. And I love your sweater. It is charming. Can I wear it now?"
+
+Her grandma smiled and said, "Of course, my dear. I'm glad you like it. You are very sweet. And you look charming in it."
+
+She helped Sara put on the sweater. Sara felt warm and cozy. She hugged her grandma and said, "Thank you, grandma. This is the best birthday ever."
+Lily and Ben were playing in the living room. They had many toys and books to play with. They liked to pretend they were pirates or astronauts or animals. They moved the furniture around to make their own spaceships and islands and caves.
+
+"Look, Lily, I found a treasure map!" Ben said, holding a piece of paper with some drawings on it. "It says we have to go past the sofa, under the table, and behind the curtain to find the gold!"
+
+"Wow, Ben, that sounds fun! Let's go!" Lily said, grabbing her hat and sword. They followed the map and crawled and climbed and sneaked around the furniture.
+
+They reached the curtain and pulled it aside. There was a big chest with a lock on it. Ben tried to open it, but it was too hard. He looked at the map again.
+
+"Oh no, Lily, we forgot something!" he said. "We need a key to open the chest! Where is the key?"
+
+Lily thought for a moment. She remembered she had seen a shiny thing on the bookshelf. Maybe that was the key!
+
+"I know, Ben, I know!" she said. "The key is on the bookshelf! Come on, let's go get it!"
+
+They ran back to the bookshelf and found the shiny thing. It was a lovely key with a star on it. They took it and ran back to the chest. Ben put the key in the lock and turned it. The chest opened with a click.
+
+They looked inside and saw many things. There were coins and jewels and toys and books and candy. They were so happy and excited. They had found the treasure!
+
+"Yay, Lily, we did it!" Ben said, hugging his sister. "We are the best pirates ever!"
+
+"Yay, Ben, we are!" Lily said, smiling. "And this is the best treasure ever!"
+
+They took some of the things and played with them. They shared the candy and read the books. They thanked the furniture for helping them. They had a lot of fun. They never forgot their adventure.

+
+Tom and Jen are scared of the big dog. They run away. But the big dog runs after them. It wants to play. Tom and Jen do not know that. They think the big dog is bad.
+
+They see a gate. The gate is open. They run to the gate. They want to go out of the park. But the big dog is faster. It gets to the gate first. It blocks the way.
+
+Tom and Jen are trapped. They do not know what to do. They are very sad. They cry for help. But no one hears them.
+
+Then, they see a boy. The boy is older than them. He has a red hat and a blue bike. He hears their cries. He comes to the gate. He sees the big dog. He is not scared. He knows the big dog. He says, "Hi, Spot! Are you having fun?"
+
+The boy is the big dog's owner. He calls the big dog. The big dog wags its tail. It goes to the boy. It licks his face. The boy smiles. He says, "Spot is a good dog. He likes to play. He does not want to hurt you. He wants to be your friend."
+
+Tom and Jen are surprised. They stop crying. They look at the big dog. The big dog looks at them. It wags its tail again. It does not bark. It looks friendly.
+
+The boy says, "Do you want to play with Spot? He likes to fetch and chase and roll. He is very fun."
+
+Tom and Jen nod. They are not scared anymore. They are curious. They want to play with the big dog. They say, "Yes, please."
+
+The boy opens the gate. He lets Tom and Jen out. He says, "Come on, let's go to the field. There is more space there. We can have a nice walk."
+

+
+But Ben is mean. He does not like to share. He wants the island for himself. He kicks the sand and breaks the island. He laughs at Lily and Tom. He says the island is his.
+
+Lily and Tom are sad. They cry and run away. They find a new place to play. They see a lovely pond with ducks and fish. They forget about the island. They feed the ducks and watch the fish. They hope to catch a fish.
+
+But Ben is still mean. He follows them to the pond. He throws stones at the ducks and fish. He scares them away. He laughs at Lily and Tom. He says the pond is his.
+
+Lily and Tom are angry. They do not cry and run away. They stand up to Ben. They tell him to stop. They say the pond is for everyone. They hope he will be nice.
+
+But Ben is still mean. He does not listen. He pushes Lily and Tom into the pond. He laughs at them. He says he is the king.
+
+But Lily and Tom are not alone. The ducks and fish are their friends. They help them out of the pond. They peck and bite Ben. They make him run away. They say he is not the king.
+
+Lily and Tom are happy. They thank the ducks and fish. They hug each other. They hope Ben will learn to share. They say the pond is lovely.
+Lily liked to create things with her crayons and paper. She made drawings of flowers, stars, and animals. One day, she wanted to create a parrot, because she saw one on TV. She used red, blue, green, and yellow crayons to make the parrot's feathers. She gave it a big beak and two eyes.
+
+She showed her drawing to her mom, who smiled and said, "That's a very nice parrot, Lily. What is its name?"
+
+Lily thought for a moment, and said, "Polly. Polly the parrot."
+
+Mom said, "That's a good name. Do you know what parrots can do?"
+
+Lily shook her head, and said, "No. What can they do?"
+
+Mom said, "Parrots can talk. They can repeat what they hear from people or other animals. They are very curious and smart."
+
+Lily was amazed, and said, "Wow! I wish Polly could talk to me."
+
+Mom said, "Maybe she can. Why don't you try to teach her some words?"
+
+Lily nodded, and took her drawing to her room. She put it on her wall, and said, "Hello, Polly. I am Lily. You are my friend."
+
+She waited, but Polly did not say anything. She tried again, and again, but Polly was silent. Lily felt sad, and wondered why Polly did not talk to her.
+
+The next day, Lily went to the park with her mom. She saw a real parrot in a cage, near a man who sold ice cream. The parrot was colorful and noisy. It said, "Hello, hello, hello!"
+
+Lily ran to the cage, and said, "Hello, parrot. You can talk!"
+
+The parrot looked at her, and said, "Hello, Lily. You are my friend."
+
+Lily was surprised, and said, "How do you know my name?"
+
+The parrot said, "I heard you yesterday. You talked to Polly. Polly is your friend."
+
+Lily realized that the parrot had heard her from her window, and repeated what she said. She felt happy, and said, "Yes, Polly is my friend. And you are my friend, too. What is your name?"
+
+The parrot said, "My name is Coco. Coco the parrot."
+
+Lily said, "That's a good name. Do you want some ice cream?"
+
+Coco said, "Yes, please. I like ice cream."
+
+Lily asked her mom to buy some ice cream for her and Coco. They shared it, and talked for a while. Lily learned that Coco liked to sing, dance, and tell jokes. She also learned that Coco was lonely, because he did not have a family.
+
+Lily felt sorry for Coco, and said, "You can come to my house, if you want. You can be Polly's friend, too. And my mom's friend, and my friend. We can be a family."
+
+Coco said, "Really? You would do that for me?"
+
+Lily said, "Yes, of course. You are a nice parrot, and I like you."
+
+Coco said, "Thank you, Lily. You are a kind girl, and I like you, too."
+
+Lily asked her mom if they could take Coco home. Mom agreed, and said, "That's very generous of you, Lily. You have a big heart. I'm proud of you."
+
+They took Coco home, and introduced him to Polly. Polly and Coco became friends, and talked to each other. They also talked to Lily and her mom, and made them laugh. Lily was happy, because she had created a new family with her crayons and paper. She learned that creating is not only about making things, but also about making connections. She learned that being curious is good, because it helps you learn new things. And she learned that being kind is better, because it helps you share love.
+Sam and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a chicken in the park. The chicken is blue. Sam and Lily are curious.

+
+They go closer to the chicken. The chicken is eating some grass. Sam wants to touch the chicken. He reaches out his hand and pokes the chicken.
+
+"Cluck, cluck!" The chicken says. It does not like to be poked. It flaps its wings and runs away.
+
+"Oops, sorry, chicken!" Sam says.
+
+Lily laughs. She thinks it is funny. She pokes Sam.
+
+"Boo!" She says.
+
+Sam laughs too. He pokes Lily back.

+
+They chase each other and poke each other. They have fun in the park. They forget about the blue chicken.
+Tommy liked to go to the park with his mom. He liked to see the birds, the flowers, and the swings. But his favorite thing was the ice cream vendor. He had a big cart with many colors and flavors of ice cream. Tommy always wanted to try them all, but his mom said they were too expensive.
+
+One day, Tommy saw a shiny coin on the ground. He picked it up and ran to the ice cream vendor. He showed him the coin and asked for a cone. The vendor smiled and gave him a big scoop of chocolate ice cream. Tommy was so happy. He licked his ice cream and thanked the vendor.
+
+But then, something bad happened. A big dog came running to the park. He saw Tommy's ice cream and wanted it. He barked and jumped at Tommy. Tommy was scared and dropped his cone.

+
+The vendor felt sorry for Tommy. He saw what happened and wanted to help. He had a secret stash of ice cream that he saved for special occasions.

+
+Tommy was surprised and happy. He took the cone and smiled. He hugged the vendor and said, "Thank you. You are very nice. You are the best vendor ever." He licked his ice cream and felt better. The vendor was happy too. He liked to make children happy. He was a poor vendor, but he had a big heart.

+Lily was a dog who hated her owner. He was mean and never gave her good food or water. He kept her in a small cage and hit her with a stick. Lily was sad and scared all the time.
+
+One day, a nice lady came to the house. She saw Lily in the cage and felt sorry for her. She asked the owner if she could buy Lily. The owner said yes, because he did not care about Lily. He only wanted money.
+
+The nice lady took Lily to her car and drove away. She gave Lily a big hug and said, "Don't worry, Lily. You are safe now. I will be your new owner and I will love you very much. You will have a warm bed, a big yard, and lots of healthy food and water. You will be happy and healthy, Lily."
+
+Lily did not understand all the words, but she felt the lady's kindness. She licked the lady's face and wagged her tail. She was glad to leave the mean owner behind. She hoped the lady was telling the truth.
+
+The lady was telling the truth. She took Lily to a vet, who checked her and gave her medicine. She took Lily to a groomer, who cleaned her and cut her fur. She took Lily to a pet store, where she bought her a collar, a leash, a toy, and a bowl. She took Lily to her home, where she introduced her to a cat, a bird, and a fish.

+Lily was happy and healthy. She loved her new owner and her new friends. She forgot about the mean owner and the cage. She never hated anyone again. She only felt gratitude and joy.
+Anna and Ben are playing with blocks on the floor. They are building a big tower with many colors. Anna likes to put the blue blocks on top, but Ben likes to put the red blocks on top.
+
+"Let me put the red block, Anna!" Ben says.
+
+"No, I want the blue block!" Anna says.
+
+They both pull the block and the tower falls down. The blocks make a loud noise and some of them hit Anna and Ben. Anna and Ben cry.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow! That hurt!" Anna says.

+
+Mom hears the noise and comes to see what happened. She sees the blocks on the floor and Anna and Ben crying.
+
+"What happened, my loves?" Mom asks.
+
+"Anna and Ben broke the tower!" They both say.

+
+"Next time, you have to share and take turns, okay?" Mom says.
+
+"But I want the red block!" Ben insists.
+
+"And I want the blue block!" Anna insists.
+
+Mom smiles and takes out two more blocks from the box. She gives the red block to Ben and the blue block to Anna.
+
+"Here you go, my loves. You can each have your favorite block. But remember, playing together is more fun than fighting, okay?" Mom says.
+
+"Okay, Mom!" Anna and Ben say.
+
+They hug Mom and say thank you. Then they start to build a new tower on the floor, with red and blue blocks on top.
+Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play together. One day, they saw their dad's office. It had many things that looked fun, like pens, papers, and a big computer. They wanted to play with them, but their dad said no. He said they were his work things and they could break them.
+
+But Lily and Ben did not listen. When their dad was busy, they sneaked into his office. They took some pens and papers and ran to their room. They started to draw and write on them. They thought they were very clever.
+
+But soon, their dad came to look for his things. He saw that they were missing from his office. He was very angry. He followed the trail of pens and papers to their room. He opened the door and saw Lily and Ben with his work things.
+
+"What are you doing?" he asked. "You stole my things!"
+
+Lily and Ben were scared. They knew they did something bad. They dropped the pens and papers and hid under the bed.
+
+"We're sorry, dad," they said. "We just wanted to play."
+
+Their dad sighed. He was not happy, but he loved them. He sat on the bed and said, "I know you wanted to play, but you can't take things that are not yours. That is called stealing, and it is wrong. You could have asked me to play with you, or find other things to play with. But you can't steal, because it hurts other people and makes them sad. Do you understand?"
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They felt sorry for their dad. They said, "We understand, dad. We won't steal again. We love you."
+
+Their dad smiled. He hugged them and said, "I love you too. Now, let's go and put my things back in my office. And then, we can play together with something else."
+
+Lily and Ben agreed. They helped their dad to put his things back in his office. They said sorry to him again. Then, they played with their dad with some toys and books. They had fun, and they learned not to steal.

+
+But then, a lady came to visit their mom. She was their mom's friend, but Sara and Tom did not like her. She was very loud and rude. She always said mean things to them and took their things. She was a crazy lady.
+
+The crazy lady saw the doll and wanted to play with it. She grabbed it from Sara and Tom and said, "What a nice doll! Can I have it?" Sara and Tom said, "No, it is ours! Give it back!" But the crazy lady did not listen. She ran away with the doll to the living room.
+
+Sara and Tom followed her and saw that she was doing bad things to the doll. She was pulling its hair, ripping its clothes, and throwing it on the floor. She was spoiling the doll. Sara and Tom cried and said, "Stop it! You are hurting Lily! You are spoiling our toy!"
+
+Their mom heard them and came to see what was wrong. She saw the crazy lady and the doll and was very angry. She said, "How dare you do this to their toy? You are a very bad friend! You have to leave now and never come back!" She took the doll from the crazy lady and gave it back to Sara and Tom. She hugged them and said, "I'm sorry, my loves. I will fix your doll and make it new again. Don't worry, she will be okay."
+
+Sara and Tom were glad that their mom saved their doll. They said, "Thank you, mom. You are the best mom ever. We love you." They hugged their mom and their doll and went back to their room. They played with Lily and made her happy again. They forgot about the crazy lady and hoped that she would never come back.
+Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play together. One day, they are hungry. They go to the kitchen to find some food.
+
+They see a big bowl of yogurt on the table. It looks yummy. They want to eat it. But they are not sure if it is for them.
+
+"Who is this yogurt for?" Tom asks.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe for Mom or Dad," Lily says.
+
+They look around. They do not see Mom or Dad. They are in the living room, watching TV.
+
+"Let's peek and see if they are busy," Tom says.
+
+They sneak to the living room. They peek from behind the sofa. They see Mom and Dad laughing at a funny show. They do not look at Tom and Lily.
+
+"Quick, let's go back to the kitchen and eat the yogurt," Lily says.
+
+They run back to the kitchen. They grab two spoons. They dig into the yogurt. It is sweet and creamy. They eat and eat. They do not notice the long note on the bowl. It says: "This yogurt is for Grandma. She is coming to visit today. Please do not touch. Love, Mom and Dad."
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. But Lily saw a big hill and wanted to climb it. She said to Ben, "Let's go up the hill. It looks fun."
+
+Ben was not sure. He said, "The hill is too high. We might fall. And it is hard to walk on the grass. It is slippery and prickly."
+
+Lily did not listen. She said, "I can do it. You are scared. I am brave." She ran to the hill and started to climb. Ben followed her. He did not want to be left alone.
+
+But Lily was wrong. The hill was not fun. It was hard. She had to use her hands and feet to move up. She felt tired and hot. She wanted to stop. But she did not want to say it. She wanted to be brave.
+
+Ben was struggling too. He did not like the hill. He felt scared and sore. He wanted to go back. But he did not want to leave Lily. He wanted to be a good friend.
+
+They reached the top of the hill. They looked around. They saw the park, the trees and the sky. They felt happy. They did it. They were brave.
+
+But then they heard a loud noise. It was a dog. A big dog. It was barking and running towards them. It looked angry. They felt scared. They were not brave.
+
+They tried to run down the hill. But they slipped and fell. They rolled and bumped. They got dirty and hurt. They cried and yelled.
+
+The dog reached them. It was not angry. It was friendly. It licked their faces and wagged its tail. It wanted to play.
+
+They did not want to play. They wanted to go home. They felt embarrassed. They were not brave.
+
+A lady came. She was the dog's owner. She said, "I'm sorry. He is a good dog. He just likes to chase. Are you okay?"
+
+They said, "No. We are not okay. We are dirty and hurt. We want to go home."
+
+The lady said, "I'm sorry. Let me help you. I can give you a ride. And I can give you a massage. It will make you feel better."
+
+They said, "What is a massage?"
+
+The lady said, "It is when I rub your back and legs. It will make the pain go away. Do you want a massage?"
+
+They said, "Yes. We want a massage. Thank you."
+
+The lady took them to her car. She gave them a massage. They felt better. They said, "Thank you. You are nice. And your dog is nice too. But we don't like the hill. It is not fun. It is hard."
+
+The lady said, "I understand. The hill is hard. But you did a good job. You were brave. And you were good friends. You should be proud."
+
+They said, "Thank you. We are proud. And we are sorry. We were rude. We should have listened to you. And to Ben. He was right. The hill was too high. And too slippery. And too prickly."
+
+The lady said, "That's okay. You learned a lesson. Next time, you will be more careful. And more polite. And more happy."
+
+They said, "Yes. We will. Thank you."
+
+The lady drove them home. They hugged her and her dog. They said goodbye. They went inside. They told their mom what happened. She was not mad. She was glad. She said, "I'm proud of you. You were brave. And you were good friends. And you learned a lesson. Now go take a bath. And then have a snack. And then have a nap. You deserve it."
+
+They said, "Okay. We will. Thank you."
+
+They took a bath. They had a snack. They had a nap. They felt good. They dreamed of the park. And the hill. And the dog. And the lady. And the massage. They smiled. They were happy. The end.
+Lily was a girl who liked to play with her toys. She had many toys, but her favorite was a teddy bear. She always hugged her teddy bear when she went to sleep.
+
+One night, Lily had a bad dream. She dreamed that a big monster came and took her teddy bear away. She was very scared and sad. She cried and cried in her dream.
+
+She woke up and saw that her teddy bear was still with her. She was happy and relieved. She said to her teddy bear, "I love you, teddy. You are my best friend. I will never let you go."
+
+But then she heard a loud noise. It was a siren. She looked out of the window and saw a big red truck. It was a fire truck. There was a fire in the house next to hers. She saw smoke and flames. She was very scared again.
+
+She ran to her mom and dad's room. They were awake too. They saw the fire and told Lily to grab her teddy bear and follow them. They ran out of the house and met the firemen. The firemen were brave and strong. They helped the people in the other house. They put out the fire with water.
+
+Lily and her family were safe. But they had to go to the hospital. The hospital was a big and clean place. There were many doctors and nurses. They checked Lily and her family. They said they were fine, but they had to stay for a while.
+
+Lily was bored and tired. She wanted to go home. She said to her mom, "Mom, can we go home now? I miss our house. I miss my toys."
+
+Her mom hugged her and said, "I know, sweetie. I miss our house too. But we have to wait here. The firemen said our house is not safe yet. They have to fix it. They have to make it clean and strong again."
+
+Lily nodded. She understood. She said, "OK, mom. I will wait. But can I keep my teddy bear with me?"
+
+Her mom smiled and said, "Of course, honey. You can keep your teddy bear with you. He is your best friend. He will make you feel better."
+
+Lily hugged her teddy bear and said, "Thank you, mom. Thank you, teddy. You are both very nice. I love you both."
+
+The moral value of the story is: Be grateful for what you have and don't take it for granted. Sometimes things can change quickly and you may lose what you love. But you can always find comfort and support in your family and friends. They will always be there for you.

+

+Harry was so excited as he played in the park. The sun was shining and the sky was brilliantly blue. He watched as the ants scurried and the butterflies fluttered around. Suddenly he heard a loud noise. It was the sound of something breaking.
+
+ Harry raced over to find out what it was and saw his friend Jack standing there with a puzzled look on his face. 
+
+"What happened?" asked Harry, pointing at the broken pieces on the floor.

+"I was having a picnic and my plate slipped and broke on the ground," Jack replied. 
+
+"Oh no!" Harry said, feeling sad for his friend. He thought for a moment, then smiled. 
+
+"Let's make a snowman," he said. "It's cold outside, so let's get the biggest snowball we can find."

+Once upon a time there was a little bird called Fred. He had some special feathers and he used them to fly around. He enjoyed looking for things to bring back to his nest. 
+
+One day, Fred flew into an old barn where he saw a cobweb in the corner. He moved closer and noticed something inside it. It was a small sack. Fred was alert and knew that he should investigate.

+
+Sally opened Jack's bag and pulled out the sandwich. She took a bite and a sour face appeared on her face. "Yuck! This sandwich is sour," Sally said.

+Once upon a time, there was a little bird who liked to sing. Other birds in the sky would listen to the little bird sing and they loved it! All of the birds in the sky wanted to know what the little bird knew and they asked her to share her secret.
+
+The little bird whispered back, "My secret is a crystal. The crystal is very special and it helps me to make my singing so beautiful".
+
+The other birds were so excited and tried to guess what the crystal was. But the little bird wouldn't tell them.
+
+The next day, the birds asked the little bird to sing for them again and she began to sing louder than ever. The little bird knew the secret of the crystal and this secret had given her more confidence to carry her beautiful voice.

+Once upon a time, there was a tree with two birds on it. One bird was pink and one bird was yellow. The two birds started to argue over which one was prettier, until finally one of them said, "Let's balance on this branch and see who can stay there without falling!" 
+
+So they hopped up on the branch and started to balance. They both tried and tried, but neither one could stay on the branch. Their feathers were getting tired, so they decided to rest in the freezer. 
+
+When they got to the freezer, they saw something very unusual. There was a mirror inside the freezer, and when each of them looked into the mirror, they could see that they were both beautiful in their own unique way. 
+
+The birds started to laugh, realizing that being different was okay. They both liked being special and began to understand that it was good to accept each other's differences. 
+
+The moral of the story is to always be open to others, no matter how unusual they may seem. We can all be unique and balance each other out, making our lives much happier in the end.

+
+Soon, they finished the race and Bob came out on top. Sally was sad, as she knew that she would never be able to beat Bob. 
+

+Bob carefully made his way to the lime, holding Mommy's hand. They were almost to the lime when the boat came speeding past again. Bob and Mommy quickly moved away from the water. Mommy said, "See, it is dangerous near the water. We must be careful!"

+
+One day, as he was walking through the woods, he came across a tall and majestic tree. He said, "What a big and ancient tree! I dare to climb it".
+
+The ant kept on climbing, higher and higher, until it was at the very top of the tree. But when he got there something unexpected happened. He found a little, red bird perched at the end of a branch.
+
+The ant said, "Oh my, what a surprise! Little bird, why don't you fly away?"
+
+The little bird shook its head and said, "I don't dare. It's too high, and I'm scared of heights." 
+
+The ant thought for a while, then he smiled and said, "Do not fear bird. I will be with you, and together we shall make it down. Take my hand and follow me, and I promise that we will safely reach the ground below."

+
+"Hello, little stand," the mailman said kindly. "Do you have any letters for me to mail?"

+
+Jack said, “Let's unite to make a bridge! I’ll bring some of the peanuts and you bring more. Then we can put them together and make a bridge.†Jeff agreed and they started bringing peanuts from the jar. 
+
+The peanuts were thick, so Jack and Jeff worked together to build the bridge. They put the peanuts side by side, until they eventually had a bridge big enough to cross the river! 
+
+Jack was the first to walk over and he shouted, “It worked! Come on Jeff, use the bridge to get to the other side!†Jeff crossed with Jack, and they both laughed out of joy. 
+
+The bridge unified them and allowed them to have a wonderful picnic.
