They got in the car and waved goodbye to the park. They were happy and safe. +Ben and Mia like to play pretend. They have a stage in their room, where they put on shows for their toys. Ben likes to be a superhero, and Mia likes to be a princess. They have costumes and props to make their shows more fun. + +One day, they decide to do a show about a weird monster that tries to scare them. Ben puts on a mask and a cape, and Mia puts on a crown and a dress. They go on the stage and start their show. + +"Help, help!" Mia says. "A weird monster is coming to get me!" + +"I am the weird monster!" Ben says. "I will make you scream!" + +"No, you won't!" Mia says. "Superhero Ben will save me!" + +"I am Superhero Ben!" Ben says, taking off his mask. "I will stop the weird monster!" + +But then, something strange happens. Ben's mask does not come off. It remains on his face, and he cannot pull it off. He starts to feel scared. + +"Mia, help me!" Ben says. "The mask is stuck!" + +Mia runs to Ben and tries to help him. She pulls and pulls, but the mask does not move. She starts to feel scared too. + +"Ben, what is happening?" Mia says. "Why is the mask stuck?" + +"I don't know!" Ben says. "It is a weird mask!" + +They start to cry and hug each other. They wish their mom or dad would come and help them. + +But then, they hear a voice from behind the stage. It is their big brother, Sam. He is laughing. + +"Gotcha!" Sam says. "It was a prank! I glued the mask to your face!" + +Ben and Mia are angry and sad. They do not think it is funny. They think it is mean. + +"Sam, that is not nice!" Mia says. "You scared us!" + +"Yeah, Sam, that is not nice!" Ben says. "You ruined our show!" + +Sam comes out from behind the stage. He has a bottle of water and a towel. He says he is sorry. He says he was just joking. He says he can take the mask off with some water. + +He goes to Ben and pours some water on his face. He gently wipes the mask off with the towel. Ben feels relieved. He takes a deep breath. + +"Are you okay, Ben?" Sam says. + +"I am okay, Sam," Ben says. "But don't do that again!" + +Sam nods. He says he is sorry again. He goes to Mia and gives her a hug. He says she is a good princess. He says he likes her show. + +Mia smiles. She says she is okay too. She says she likes his show too, but not the prank. + +They all hug and make up. They decide to do another show together, but this time, no weird masks. They have fun on the stage. They are happy. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play outside. Tom has a green wagon. He puts his toys in the wagon. Lily has a doll. She puts her doll in the wagon too. + +"Let's go for a ride!" Tom says. He pulls the wagon. Lily sits in the wagon. They go around the yard. They see a big tree. They see a bird. They see a dog. + +"Look, a dog!" Lily says. She points to the dog. The dog is brown and white. He runs to them. He barks. He wants to play. + +"Hi, dog!" Tom says. He stops the wagon. He stands up. He pets the dog. The dog licks his hand. He wags his tail. + +"Can I pet him too?" Lily asks. She stands up. She gets out of the wagon. She walks to the dog. She pets the dog. The dog licks her face. She giggles. + +The dog is happy. Tom and Lily are happy. They play with the dog. They forget about the wagon. The wagon is green. It waits for them. +Ben and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big pond with water. They want to go near the water and look at the fish. + +"Look, Ben, there are fish in the water!" Mia says. "They are red and blue and yellow. They are pretty." + +"Yes, they are pretty," Ben says. "But we have to be careful. The water is deep and we can't swim. We have to listen to our moms and dads. They say we can't go in the water." + +"OK, Ben, we won't go in the water," Mia says. "But can we throw some bread to the fish? Maybe they are hungry." + +"Sure, we can do that," Ben says. "That is easy and fun. I have some bread in my bag. Let's break it into small pieces and throw it to the fish." + +Ben and Mia break the bread and throw it to the water. The fish come to the surface and eat the bread. They make bubbles and splash. Ben and Mia laugh and clap. They are happy. They listen to their moms and dads and they have fun with the fish. +Sara and Ben are playing with a big box of shapes. They like to make different things with the shapes, like houses, cars, and animals. Sara has a purple key that can unlock a special shape. She wants to show Ben what it is. + +"Look, Ben, I have a purple key. Do you want to see what it unlocks?" Sara asks. + +"Yes, please. What is it?" Ben says. + +Sara takes the purple key and looks for the shape that matches it. She finds a round shape with a hole in the middle. She puts the key in the hole and turns it. The shape opens and reveals a surprise. + +"Wow, what is that?" Ben says. + +"It's a purple star. It's shiny and sparkly. Do you like it?" Sara says. + +"I like it. It's very pretty. Can I hold it?" Ben says. + +"Sure, you can hold it. But be careful, it's fragile. Don't drop it or break it." Sara says. + +Sara gives the purple star to Ben. He holds it gently and admires it. He thanks Sara for sharing it with him. They take turns holding the purple star and making wishes. They have fun playing with the shapes and the key. They are good friends. +Lisa and Ben were twins who shared a room and a bed. They liked to play with their toys and read books before bedtime. But sometimes they also liked to make a mess and fight with each other. Their mom and dad always told them to behave and keep their room tidy, but they did not always listen. + +One night, Lisa and Ben were having fun with their stuffed animals and pillows. They threw them around the room and pretended they were in a jungle. They laughed and screamed and jumped on the bed. They did not notice that they had ripped their sheet and knocked over their lamp. They did not hear their mom and dad calling them to stop. + +Suddenly, the lights went out and the room became dark and scary. Lisa and Ben stopped playing and hugged each other. They felt cold and afraid. They heard their mom and dad coming up the stairs with a flashlight. They knew they were in trouble. + +"Lisa and Ben, what have you done?" their mom asked in a stern voice. "Look at this mess! And you broke your sheet and your lamp! How could you be so careless and naughty?" + +"We're sorry, mom," Lisa and Ben said in a small voice. "We were just having fun. We didn't mean to break anything." + +"Well, fun is good, but you have to be thoughtful and respectful of your things and your room. You have to behave and follow the rules. Do you understand?" their dad said. + +"Yes, dad, we understand," Lisa and Ben said. "We're sorry. We'll clean up and be good from now on." + +Their mom and dad hugged them and tucked them in with a new sheet. They gave them a kiss and a smile. They turned on a nightlight and left the room. + +Lisa and Ben felt sorry and ashamed. They realized they had been wrong and foolish. They decided to be more thoughtful and behave better. They whispered to each other, "I love you, twin. Good night." + +"I love you, too, twin. Good night." +Bee and Jay were best friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big truck with a loud horn. The truck was heavy and had many things on it. + +"Wow, look at that truck!" Jay said. "It has a horn that goes beep beep!" + +"I want to hear it!" Bee said. "Let's go closer!" + +They ran to the truck and climbed on it. They saw a button that said "horn". Bee pushed it and the truck made a loud beep beep. They laughed and pushed it again and again. + +But they did not see the man who owned the truck. He was angry. He came back and saw them on his truck. + +"Hey, you two! Get off my truck!" he shouted. "You are making too much noise! Leave now or I will call the police!" + +Bee and Jay were scared. They jumped off the truck and ran away. They did not want to get in trouble. + +They learned a lesson. They should not play with things that are not theirs. And they should not make loud noises that bother people. They said sorry to each other and hugged. They were still best friends. +Lily liked to talk to her books. She had many books with pictures and stories of animals, fairies, and friends. She would open a book and say hello to the characters on the page. She would ask them questions and pretend they answered her. + +One day, it was very gloomy outside. The sky was gray and it rained a lot. Lily could not go out and play. She felt sad and bored. She looked at her books, but they did not make her happy. She wanted to talk to someone real. + +She went to her brother's room. He was older than her and liked to read big books with no pictures. He was reading a book on his bed. Lily knocked on the door and said, "Can I talk to you?" + +Her brother looked up and sighed. He did not like to be disturbed. He said, "What do you want to talk about?" + +Lily said, "I don't know. Anything. I'm lonely. Can I see your book?" + +Her brother said, "No, you can't. This book is not for you. It has hard words and no fun. You won't understand it." + +Lily felt hurt and angry. She said, "That's not nice. You are mean. I can understand anything. I can talk to books. They are more friendly than you." + +She grabbed his book and ran away. Her brother shouted, "Hey, give that back! That's mine!" + +Lily ran to her room and slammed the door. She opened the book and looked at the page. She saw many words, but they made no sense to her. She tried to talk to the book, but it did not answer. She felt more sad and bored. She wished she had someone to talk to. +Tom and Lily were excited to go to the park with Mom. They put on their hats and shoes and ran outside. But when they opened the door, they saw rain. Lots of rain. It was falling from the sky and making the ground wet. + +"Oh no!" Tom said. "We can't go to the park now. It's too rainy." + +Lily frowned. She wanted to play on the swings and slide. She did not like the rain. It was cold and wet and made her sad. + +Mom smiled. She had a surprise for Tom and Lily. She took out two big umbrellas and two yellow raincoats from the closet. She helped them put them on. + +"Guess what?" Mom said. "We can still go to the park. We just need to stay under the umbrellas and wear the raincoats. It will be fun. We can splash in the puddles and see the rainbows." + +Tom and Lily looked at Mom. They did not know what to say. They had never gone to the park in the rain before. They wondered if it would be fun or not. + +"Come on, let's go!" Mom said. She took their hands and led them outside. They opened the umbrellas and walked to the park. + +Tom and Lily were surprised. The park looked different in the rain. The grass was shiny and green. The flowers were bright and colorful. The birds were singing and flying. And there were puddles everywhere. Big puddles and small puddles. Round puddles and square puddles. + +Tom and Lily started to splash in the puddles. They jumped and ran and laughed. They made waves and bubbles and splashes. They did not mind the rain anymore. It was fun. It was like a game. + +Mom watched them and smiled. She was happy to see them having fun. She pointed to the sky and said, "Look, there's a rainbow. Do you see it? It's so pretty. It has many colors. Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple." + +Tom and Lily looked up and saw the rainbow. They gasped. It was so pretty. It was like a bridge of colors. They wondered if they could touch it or walk on it. + +"Wow!" Tom said. "It's a rainbow. It's so pretty. I like it." + +"Me too!" Lily said. "It's a rainbow. It's so pretty. I love it." + +They hugged Mom and thanked her for the surprise. They said they liked the park in the rain. They said they liked the umbrellas and the raincoats. They said they liked the puddles and the rainbow. + +Mom hugged them back and said, "You're welcome. I'm glad you liked the surprise. I like the park in the rain too. I like the umbrellas and the raincoats. I like the puddles and the rainbow. But most of all, I like you. You are my favorite surprise." +Lily and Tom are twins. They like to play games. Sometimes they play with cars, sometimes they play with dolls, sometimes they play with books. But their favorite game is to pretend they are famous. + +One day, they find a big box in the garage. They decide to make it into a stage. They cut out a hole for a curtain and draw stars and lights on the sides. They find some old clothes and hats and dress up as singers and actors. They take turns to perform for each other. + +Lily goes first. She puts on a pink dress and a crown and sings a song about a princess. Tom claps and cheers. He says, "You are very good, Lily. You are a famous princess." + +Then Tom goes. He puts on a blue shirt and a cap and tells a story about a pirate. Lily laughs and gasps. She says, "You are very funny, Tom. You are a famous pirate." + +They have so much fun that they forget about the time. They hear their mom calling them for dinner. They quickly put away their clothes and hats and run to the kitchen. They tell their mom about their game. She smiles and says, "You are very creative, Lily and Tom. You are famous in my eyes." + +After dinner, they brush their teeth and go to bed. They share a room and a bed. They cuddle and whisper to each other. They say, "Who do you want to be tomorrow?" + +Lily says, "I want to be a famous dancer." + +Tom says, "I want to be a famous astronaut." + +They giggle and dream. They think they can be anything they want. They are happy. They win. +Lily and Ben were playing in the yard. They liked to run and jump and laugh. They saw a big red mailbox near the street. They were curious about it. + +"What is in there?" Lily asked. + +"Maybe letters or cards or pictures," Ben said. + +They ran to the mailbox and opened it. It was empty. They were disappointed. + +"Let's put something in it," Ben said. He found a stick and a leaf and a rock. He put them in the mailbox. + +"Maybe someone will find them and be happy," he said. + +Lily nodded. She found a flower and a feather and a button. She put them in the mailbox too. + +They closed the mailbox and smiled. They were proud of their gifts. + +They went back to the yard and played some more. They forgot about the mailbox. + +The next day, they wanted to see the mailbox again. They ran to the street and opened it. But it was empty again. Their gifts were gone. + +"Where did they go?" Lily asked. + +"Maybe someone took them," Ben said. + +"Who?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know. Maybe a bird or a squirrel or a fairy," Ben said. + +They were puzzled. They wondered who had taken their gifts. They did not know that the mailman had come and taken them. He had thought they were trash and thrown them away. He did not know that they were gifts from two curious children. He did not see them vanish. +Tom and Lily were brother and sister. They liked to play outside in the sun. One day, they went to a big temple with their mom and dad. The temple had many stairs and statues and colors. + +"Wow, look at that!" Tom said, pointing to a tall statue of a lion. "It is so big and scary!" + +"I like the flowers," Lily said, looking at the garden. "They are so pretty and smell good!" + +Mom and dad smiled and took pictures of them. They wanted to remember this day. + +But then, the sky became dark and gray. The wind blew hard and the rain came down. Tom and Lily felt cold and wet. They ran to the temple to find shelter. + +"Mom, dad, where are you?" Tom shouted, looking around. He could not see them in the crowd. + +"I don't know, Tom," Lily said, holding his hand. "I am scared!" + +They were miserable. They wanted to go home. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud voice. It was their dad. He had found them. + +"Tom, Lily, there you are!" he said, hugging them. "We were looking for you everywhere!" + +"Sorry, dad," Tom said. "We got lost." + +"It's okay, son," dad said. "We are here now. Let's go to the car." + +Mom came too. She had an umbrella and a blanket. She wrapped them around Tom and Lily. + +"Are you okay, my loves?" she asked, kissing them. + +"Yes, mom," Lily said. "But we are cold and wet." + +"Don't worry, sweetie," mom said. "We will be home soon. And then we can have some hot chocolate and cookies." + +Tom and Lily smiled. They felt better. They loved their mom and dad. They increased their hugs and kisses. They were happy. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play outside. But today it is raining. They are sad. + +"Can we go out?" Anna asks Mom. + +"No, it is wet and cold. You have to stay inside," Mom says. + +Anna and Ben look out the window. They see gray clouds and rain. They are bored. + +"Let's play with toys," Ben says. + +They play with toys for a while. But they are not happy. They want to go out. + +"Maybe the rain will stop soon," Anna says. + +They look out the window again. They see something bright and colorful. It is a rainbow! + +"Wow, look! A rainbow!" Ben says. + +They run to the door. They put on their boots and coats. They ask Mom if they can go out. + +"Yes, you can. But be careful. The ground is still wet," Mom says. + +Anna and Ben go out. They see the rainbow in the sky. It has many colors. Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. + +"It is so pretty!" Anna says. + +They run and jump in the puddles. They laugh and have fun. They are happy. + +The rain has stopped. The rainbow is great. Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play outside. +Lily and Ben are twins. They are three years old. Today is their birthday. They are very happy. They want to celebrate with their family and friends. + +They help their mom and dad make a big cake. They put frosting and sprinkles on it. It looks yummy. They also blow up balloons and hang them on the wall. They make the room look fun. + +Soon, the doorbell rings. It is their grandma and grandpa. They bring presents and hugs. Lily and Ben are excited. They open the presents and say thank you. They get books, toys and clothes. + +Then, more guests arrive. They are their cousins, aunts, uncles and neighbors. They all say happy birthday and give more presents. Lily and Ben have a lot of gifts. They smile and share. + +Mom says it is time to eat. She orders pizza and salad from the phone. The pizza man comes and brings the food. It smells delicious. Everyone gets a plate and a napkin. They sit around the table and eat. They talk and laugh. + +After they finish, dad brings the cake. He lights the candles and sings happy birthday. Lily and Ben make a wish and blow out the candles. They cut the cake and give everyone a slice. The cake is sweet and soft. They enjoy it very much. + +Lily and Ben have a great birthday. They celebrate with their family and friends. They feel loved and special. They say thank you and good night. They go to bed and dream of their happy day. +Mia is a cat. She has a soft fur and a long tail. She likes to move around the house and play with her toys. She loves her owner, Lily, who gives her food and hugs. + +One day, Mia hears a loud noise outside. She runs to the window and sees a big truck. The truck has many boxes and bags. Mia is curious. She wants to know what is in the boxes and bags. + +She jumps on the sofa and tries to reach the window. But the sofa is too low. She cannot see the truck. She meows and scratches the sofa. She hopes Lily will come and help her. + +Lily hears Mia's meows and scratches. She comes to the sofa and sees Mia. She smiles and picks her up. + +"What are you doing, Mia?" Lily asks. "Do you want to see the truck?" + +Mia nods and purrs. She likes Lily's voice and touch. + +Lily carries Mia to the window and shows her the truck. She explains to Mia that they are moving to a new house. She says the truck will take their things to the new house. She says they will go to the new house soon. + +Mia looks at the truck and the boxes and bags. She is confused. She does not understand why they have to move. She likes this house. She knows every corner and hiding place. She does not want to leave. + +She meows and snuggles in Lily's arms. She hopes Lily will not leave her. + +Lily hugs Mia and kisses her head. She says to Mia that she loves her very much. She says they will be happy in the new house. She says they will have a bigger room and a garden. She says Mia will have more space and fun. + +Mia listens to Lily and feels a little better. She trusts Lily and knows she will take care of her. She decides to give the new house a chance. She hopes there will be nice things and friendly people there. + +She purrs and licks Lily's cheek. She says to Lily that she loves her too. She says she will go with her to the new house. She says she will be a good cat and try to like the new house. +Lily and Ben were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big truck with many lollipops. The truck man said, "Who wants a lollipop? Come and get one!" + +Lily and Ben wanted a lollipop. They ran to the truck. But they did not look where they were going. They were careless. They bumped into a dog. The dog barked. Lily and Ben were scared. They dropped their lollipops. + +"Oh no! Our lollipops!" Lily cried. + +"Bad dog! Go away!" Ben shouted. + +The dog did not go away. He picked up their lollipops with his mouth. He ran away with them. + +"Hey! Come back! Those are ours!" Lily and Ben chased the dog. + +But the dog was faster. He ran to his owner. He gave him the lollipops. + +"Good boy! You found some treats!" The owner said. He patted the dog. + +Lily and Ben were sad. They lost their lollipops. They went back to the park. They saw the truck man. He was still giving out lollipops. + +"Hey, kids. Do you want another lollipop?" He asked. + +"Yes, please!" Lily and Ben said. + +The truck man gave them each a new lollipop. They thanked him. + +"Be careful this time. Don't run into any dogs." He said. + +Lily and Ben nodded. They smiled. They licked their lollipops. They were happy. They learned to be more careful. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play with their toys. One day, they found a big balloon in the closet. They wanted to blow it up and make it fly. + +"Let me do it!" Ben said. He took the balloon and put it in his mouth. He blew and blew until the balloon was very big. + +"No, me!" Lily said. She grabbed the balloon and pulled it away from Ben. They both pulled hard, but the balloon did not let go. + +"Pop!" The balloon split in two. The air came out with a loud noise. Ben and Lily fell on the floor. They looked at the balloon pieces. They were sad. + +"Look what you did!" Ben said. He pointed at Lily. "You broke our balloon!" + +"No, you did!" Lily said. She pointed at Ben. "You blew it too much!" + +They started to cry. They did not want to share or say sorry. + +Mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw the balloon pieces and the twins crying. She was not happy. + +"What happened here?" Mom asked. She picked up the balloon pieces and looked at them. She saw something on the tip of one piece. It was a hair. A bald hair. + +"Did you take this balloon from Dad's closet?" Mom asked. She looked at the twins. They nodded. They knew they were in trouble. + +"This was Dad's special balloon. He used it to cover his bald spot. He will be very mad when he sees this." Mom said. She shook her head. "You should not take things that are not yours. And you should not fight over them. You need to learn to share and say sorry." + +Ben and Lily felt bad. They did not mean to take Dad's balloon or break it. They did not want to make Mom or Dad mad. They looked at each other and said sorry. + +"Sorry, Ben." Lily said. + +"Sorry, Lily." Ben said. + +They hugged each other. They felt better. + +Mom smiled. She was glad they made up. She gave them a hug too. + +"It's okay. I'm sure Dad will forgive you. But you have to tell him what you did and help him find a new balloon." Mom said. + +"Okay, Mom." Ben and Lily said. + +They went to find Dad and tell him the truth. They hoped he would not be too sad or angry. They hoped he would find a funny way to cover his bald spot. Maybe with a hat or a wig or a sticker. They loved Dad, even if he was bald. +Lily loved to draw pictures of animals. She had many books with photos of animals from all over the world. She wanted to see them for real one day. She liked to show her pictures to her mom and dad. + +One day, she drew a picture of a big cat with black spots. She used her brown and yellow crayons. She was very proud of her picture. She ran to her mom and said, "Look, mom, I drew a cheetah! It is the fastest animal in the world!" + +Her mom smiled and hugged her. "That's a wonderful picture, Lily. You are very good at drawing. You know what? This picture reminds me of someone famous. Do you know who?" + +Lily thought for a moment. She remembered watching a movie with her dad. It was about a man who ran very fast and won many medals. He had a name like a bolt of lightning. She said, "Is it Usain Bolt, mom?" + +Her mom nodded and laughed. "Yes, it is, Lily. You are very smart. Usain Bolt is famous for being the fastest human in the world. He can run as fast as a cheetah. Maybe you can be like him when you grow up. Or maybe you can be an artist or a zoologist. You can do anything you want, Lily. I love you." + +Lily hugged her mom back and said, "I love you too, mom. Thank you for the books and the crayons. Can we watch the movie again tonight?" + +Her mom said, "Of course, we can, Lily. And maybe we can also read a story about cheetahs and other animals. How does that sound?" + +Lily clapped her hands and said, "That sounds great, mom. I can't wait!" +Anna was hungry. She went to the kitchen with her mom. Mom said, "You can choose what you want to eat. Look at the trays on the table. They have different foods." + +Anna saw three trays. One tray had bread and cheese. One tray had fruits and yogurt. One tray had cookies and candy. Anna liked cookies and candy. She thought they were attractive. She said, "I want this tray, mom. It looks yummy." + +Mom said, "No, Anna. That tray is not good for you. It has too much sugar. It will make you sick. You should choose a healthy tray. How about the tray with fruits and yogurt? They are sweet and good for you." + +Anna did not listen to mom. She was stubborn. She said, "No, mom. I want this tray. I want cookies and candy. They are pretty and tasty. Please, mom. Please." + +Mom was sad. She did not want to fight with Anna. She said, "Okay, Anna. You can have this tray. But you have to eat a little bit. And you have to brush your teeth after. Do you understand?" + +Anna nodded. She was happy. She took the tray with cookies and candy. She went to the living room. She ate all the cookies and candy. She did not eat a little bit. She did not brush her teeth. She was greedy. + +Soon, Anna felt bad. Her stomach hurt. Her teeth hurt. She felt sick. She cried. She said, "Mom, mom. I don't feel good. Help me, mom." + +Mom heard Anna. She ran to the living room. She saw Anna. She saw the empty tray. She was angry and worried. She said, "Anna, what did you do? You ate all the cookies and candy. You did not listen to me. You did not choose a healthy tray. You did not eat a little bit. You did not brush your teeth. You were naughty. Now you are sick. You have to go to the doctor. You have to take medicine. You have to learn your lesson." + +Anna was sorry. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I was wrong. I should have listened to you. I should have chosen a healthy tray. I should have eaten a little bit. I should have brushed my teeth. I was not naughty. I will learn my lesson. Please, mom. Forgive me." + +Mom hugged Anna. She said, "I forgive you, Anna. But you have to be careful. You have to make good choices. You have to take care of yourself. You have to be healthy and happy. Do you understand?" + +Anna nodded. She said, "I understand, mom. I love you, mom." + +Mom said, "I love you, too, Anna. But you still have to go to the doctor. And you still have to take medicine. And you still have to brush your teeth. Come on, let's go." + +Anna did not like the doctor. She did not like the medicine. She did not like to brush her teeth. She wished she had chosen a different tray. She wished she had a good ending. But she did not. She had a bad ending. +Sam and Lily are playing in the bath. They have many toys and bubbles. They like to splash and make noise. They pretend they are fish and sharks. + +"Look, Lily, I have soap!" Sam says. He holds a big bar of soap in his hand. He rubs it on his arm and makes more bubbles. + +"Wow, Sam, that is fun!" Lily says. She wants to try the soap too. She reaches for it, but Sam does not want to share. He pulls the soap away from her. + +"No, Lily, this is my soap!" Sam says. He is not nice. He makes a face at Lily. + +"Sam, that is not fair!" Lily says. She is sad and angry. She tries to grab the soap from Sam, but he is too fast. He moves the soap to the other side of the bath. + +"Ha ha, Lily, you can't catch me!" Sam says. He laughs and teases Lily. He thinks he is clever. + +But Lily has an idea. She sees the faucet. She turns it on and makes the water very loud. She splashes the water at Sam with her hands. + +"Hey, Lily, stop that!" Sam says. He does not like the water in his eyes and ears. He drops the soap in the bath. He tries to find it, but he can't. The soap is gone. + +"Look, Sam, I have soap!" Lily says. She smiles and holds the soap in her hand. She rubs it on her face and makes more bubbles. + +"Wow, Lily, that is fun!" Sam says. He wants to try the soap too. He reaches for it, but Lily does not want to share. She pulls the soap away from him. + +"No, Sam, this is my soap!" Lily says. She is nice. She makes a joke at Sam. + +"Ha ha, Sam, you can't catch me!" Lily says. She laughs and plays with Sam. She thinks he is funny. + +They both giggle and share the soap. They become friends again. They have fun in the bath. They are happy. +Lily was a modest girl who liked to help her mom with chores. She could manage to sweep the floor, fold the clothes, and water the plants. But there was one thing she could not do: blow her nose. She always felt scared when her nose was stuffy and she had to use a tissue. + +One day, she had a bad cold and her nose was very runny. Her mom gave her a tissue and said, "Lily, you need to blow your nose. It will make you feel better." Lily shook her head and hid under the blanket. She did not want to blow her nose. + +Her mom tried to coax her out. She said, "Lily, it's not hard to blow your nose. Look, I'll show you." She took a tissue and blew her nose gently. She said, "See? It's easy. And it doesn't hurt. Do you want to try?" + +Lily peeked out from the blanket. She saw her mom smiling and holding a tissue. She felt curious and brave. She said, "OK, I'll try." She took the tissue and put it to her nose. She blew softly and heard a sound. She looked at the tissue and saw some wet spots. She said, "I did it! I blew my nose!" + +Her mom hugged her and said, "You did it, Lily! I'm so proud of you. You're a big girl now. And you know what? Blowing your nose is a good way to manage your cold. It will help you get well soon." + +Lily smiled and said, "Thank you, mom. I'm glad I learned to blow my nose. It's not scary at all. It's fun!" She blew her nose again and giggled. She felt happy and relieved. She was a modest girl who could manage to do many things, even blow her nose. +Lily and Max were playing with their mom's sewing box. They liked to look at the colorful threads and needles and buttons. They found a big red button that looked like a flower. Lily wanted to put it on her dress, but Max wanted to keep it for himself. + +"Give me the button, Lily!" Max said. "It is mine!" + +"No, it is mine!" Lily said. "I saw it first!" + +They both pulled the button hard, but it did not come apart. Instead, it started to glow and make a strange noise. Lily and Max felt a tickle in their tummies and then everything around them became very big. They had shrunk to the size of ants! + +"Help!" Lily cried. "What happened to us?" + +"I don't know!" Max said. "This is a stupid button! It is magic and bad!" + +They looked around and saw a big cat coming towards them. It had yellow eyes and sharp teeth. It saw them and licked its lips. It wanted to eat them! + +"Run!" Max said. "We have to hide!" + +They ran as fast as they could, but the cat was faster. It pounced on them and knocked them over. They screamed and tried to push the button again, but it did not work. They were trapped! + +"Mommy!" Lily cried. "Help us!" + +Their mom heard their cries and came into the room. She saw the cat playing with something on the floor. She shooed the cat away and picked up the button. She saw Lily and Max's tiny faces on it. They looked scared and sad. + +"Oh, my babies!" she said. "What have you done?" + +She pressed the button and it glowed and made a strange noise again. Lily and Max felt a tickle in their tummies and then everything around them became normal again. They had grown back to their normal size! + +They hugged their mom and said they were sorry. They told her what happened and how they fought over the button. They said they would never play with her sewing box again. + +Their mom was glad they were safe and sound. She kissed them and said she loved them. She said they should share and be nice to each other. She said they should be careful with things they did not know.

She said she would put it away and never use it again. + +Lily and Max nodded and said they understood. They said they learned their lesson. They said they would not be stupid again. They said they loved their mom and each other. They said they did not want to shrink ever again. They said they liked being big and happy. +Tom and Lily were twins who lived in a big country. They liked to play and have fun, but sometimes they did not listen to their mom and dad. One day, they saw a big red button in the basement. It said "Do not touch" in big letters. + +"What is this?" Tom asked. + +"I don't know. Maybe it makes something happen," Lily said. + +They looked around and saw no one. They felt curious and naughty. They decided to touch the button together. + +"Three, two, one, go!" they said and pushed the button. + +Suddenly, a loud siren went off and a voice said "Alert! Alert! Emergency! Evacuate the house!" + +Tom and Lily were scared. They ran upstairs and saw their mom and dad. They looked angry and worried. + +"What did you do?" their mom asked. + +"We touched the button in the basement," Tom said. + +"Why did you do that? That button is for emergencies only. It calls the firemen and the police. You could have caused a lot of trouble," their dad said. + +"We are sorry. We did not know. We were just playing," Lily said. + +Their mom and dad hugged them and said they were glad they were safe. But they also said they had to punish them for being bad. They said they had to stay in their room for the rest of the day and no TV or toys. + +Tom and Lily felt sad and sorry. They learned their lesson. They never touched the button again. They always listened to their mom and dad. They knew they loved them and wanted them to be good. +Sara was curious about the shower. She liked to watch the water fall from the hole in the wall and make bubbles on the floor. She wanted to touch the water and see how it felt. But Mama always said no, shower time was for grown-ups only. + +One day, Sara saw Mama go into the shower room and close the door. She heard the water start to run. Sara thought this was her chance to see the shower up close. She tiptoed to the door and opened it a little bit. She peeked inside and saw Mama under the water. Mama looked happy and relaxed. + +Sara smiled and said, "Hi, Mama!" + +Mama jumped and turned around. She saw Sara at the door and gasped. She quickly grabbed a towel and wrapped it around her. + +"Sara, what are you doing here?" Mama asked. "You scared me!" + +Sara giggled and said, "I wanted to see the shower, Mama. It looks fun!" + +Mama sighed and said, "Sara, you can't come in here when I'm in the shower. It's not safe. You could slip and hurt yourself. And you could delay me from getting ready. I have to go to work soon." + +Sara frowned and said, "But I want to try the shower, Mama. Please?" + +Mama shook her head and said, "No, Sara. Not today. Maybe when you're older. Now go back to your room and play with your toys. I'll be out in a minute." + +Sara pouted and said, "Okay, Mama. But I'm still curious about the shower." + +She closed the door and walked away. She hoped that one day, Mama would let her join her in the shower. She wondered what it would feel like to have water all over her. She thought it would be fun. +Lila liked to travel with her dad. He played the flute for people in different places. He made nice sounds with his mouth and fingers. Lila liked to listen and clap. + +One day, they went to a new place. It was unknown to them. They saw big buildings and many cars. They walked to a park where dad could play the flute. Lila saw a big pond with ducks and swans. She wanted to feed them. + +She asked dad, "Can I give them some bread?" + +Dad said, "Yes, but be careful. Don't go too close to the water." + +Lila nodded and took some bread from dad's bag. She broke it into small pieces and threw them to the ducks and swans. They came closer and ate the bread. Lila was happy. She smiled and said, "Hello, ducks and swans. Do you like the bread?" + +But then, she saw something in the water. It was shiny and long. It looked like a flute. Lila wondered who left it there. She wanted to see it better. She leaned over the edge of the pond. But she lost her balance and fell into the water. + +She screamed, "Help! Help!" + +Dad heard her and ran to the pond. He saw Lila in the water. He was scared. He threw his flute on the ground and jumped into the water. He grabbed Lila and pulled her out. He hugged her and said, "Lila, are you okay? You scared me so much." + +Lila was wet and cold. She was sorry. She said, "I'm sorry, dad. I saw a flute in the water. I wanted to look at it. But I fell in." + +Dad said, "It's okay, Lila. I'm glad you're safe. But you have to be more careful. You can't go near the water without me. And you don't need to look at other flutes. You have your own flute. Remember?" + +Lila remembered. She had a small flute that dad gave her. She liked to play it with him. She said, "Yes, dad. I have my own flute. Can we play it together?" + +Dad said, "Of course, Lila. Let's go home and change your clothes. Then we can play the flute together. And maybe we can find the owner of the flute in the water. Maybe they miss it." + +Lila said, "Okay, dad. Let's go home. I love you." + +Dad said, "I love you too, Lila." +Anna wanted to help her mom make a cake. She saw a big knife on the table. She thought she could use it to cut some fruit. She reached for the knife, but her mom saw her and said, "No, Anna, that knife is not for you. It is very sharp and dangerous. You could hurt yourself or make a big mess." + +Anna was sad. She wanted to be a good helper. She said, "But mom, I can try. I can be careful. Please let me use the knife." + +Her mom shook her head. She said, "I'm sorry, Anna, but the knife is not a toy. It is a tool for grown-ups. You can help me in other ways. You can stir the batter, or sprinkle some sugar, or decorate the cake with icing. Those are fun and safe things to do." + +Anna thought about it. She realized her mom was right. The knife was not for her. She said, "Okay, mom, I'm sorry. I won't touch the knife. I will help you with the other things. Can I stir the batter?" + +Her mom smiled. She said, "Yes, Anna, you can stir the batter. Thank you for being a good listener and a good helper. I love you very much." + +Anna smiled too. She took a spoon and stirred the batter. She felt happy and proud. She learned that she should not play with things that are not for her, and that she should listen to her mom. She also learned that there are many ways to help and have fun. She and her mom made a delicious and beautiful cake together. +Tom and Anna were brother and sister. They liked to play in the park near their house. One day, they saw a big hill with a lot of trees and flowers. They wanted to climb the hill and see what was on the other side. + +"Let's go, Anna!" Tom said. "Maybe we can find a castle or a dragon or a fairy!" + +"OK, Tom!" Anna said. "But we have to be careful. It looks very high and steep." + +They started to walk up the hill, holding hands. They admired the pretty colors and smells of the plants. They heard birds singing and bees buzzing. They felt happy and curious. + +But as they got higher, they also felt tired and thirsty. The sun was hot and bright. The hill was hard and rocky. They had no water or snacks with them. They wished they had listened to their mom, who told them to stay in the park and not go too far. + +"Tom, I'm tired. Can we go back?" Anna asked. + +"No, Anna. We're almost there. Look, there's some mist over there. Maybe it's a waterfall or a lake. Come on, it will be fun!" Tom said. + +He pulled Anna along, but she was not happy. She wanted to rest and go home. She did not care about the mist or the hill. She was scared and angry. + +They reached the top of the hill and saw the mist. But it was not a waterfall or a lake. It was a big fire. Someone had left a campfire burning and it had spread to the trees and grass. The mist was smoke. It was hot and smelly and dangerous. + +"Tom, look! It's a fire! We have to run!" Anna shouted. + +"Anna, you're right! It's a fire! We have to run!" Tom shouted. + +They turned around and ran down the hill as fast as they could. They coughed and cried and hoped they would be safe. They wished they had never climbed the hill. They wished they had stayed in the park and played. They wished they had listened to their mom. +Sara and Tom are twins. They like to play together. Today they want to dress up as superheroes. Sara has a red cape and a mask. Tom has a blue cape and a mask. They put on their capes and masks and run to the living room. + +"Look at us, Mom!" Sara says. "We are superheroes!" + +"You are very cute, Sara and Tom," Mom says. "But you have to be tidy, too. Please put your clothes in the closet before you play." + +Sara and Tom nod. They run to their room and open the closet. But the closet is full of clothes. There is no space for their capes and masks. + +"Uh-oh," Tom says. "What do we do?" + +Sara has an idea. She sees a zigzag on the wall. It is a hook for hanging things. She takes her cape and mask and hangs them on the hook. Then she helps Tom hang his cape and mask on another hook. + +"There," Sara says. "Now we are tidy and ready to play." + +They run back to the living room and pretend to fly and save the world. Mom smiles and watches them. She thinks they are the best superheroes ever. +Lily liked to play with her mom's makeup. She wanted to look fancy like her mom when she went to work.

It had red stuff on it. She rubbed it on her lips and teeth. She looked in the mirror and made a kissy face. She looked silly. + +She heard her mom turn off the shower. She was scared. She knew her mom would be mad if she saw her makeup. She tried to wipe it off with a tissue, but it only made it worse. She looked in the mirror and cried. She looked messy. + +She heard her mom open the door. She ran to her and hugged her legs. She said, "Mommy, I'm sorry. I wanted to look fancy like you. But I filled my face with makeup and now I look bad. Please don't be mad at me." + +Her mom looked at her and sighed. She was not happy, but she was not mad either. She loved her daughter very much. She said, "Lily, you don't need makeup to look fancy. You are beautiful just the way you are. Makeup is for grown-ups, not for little girls. It can hurt your skin and your eyes. You have to be careful with it. Next time, ask me before you touch it, okay?" + +Lily nodded and said, "Okay, mommy. I'm sorry. I love you." + +Her mom smiled and said, "I love you too, Lily. Come on, let's go wash your face and get ready for breakfast." She took her hand and led her to the bathroom. She helped her clean her face with water and soap.

But she was shy. She did not say anything. She just watched the boy and the other kids. + +The boy saw Lily. He smiled and said, "Hi, I am Sam. Do you like painting? Do you want to play with us?" He held out a card to her. It had a picture of a butterfly. + +Lily looked at the card. She liked butterflies. She nodded and took the card. She followed Sam to a table with paper and paints. She sat next to him and started to paint. + +She painted a beautiful butterfly. She used many colors and made it look real. She was happy. She forgot to be shy. + +Sam looked at her painting. He said, "Wow, you are very good at painting. I like your butterfly. It is so pretty. What is your name?" + +Lily smiled and said, "I am Lily. Thank you. I like your painting too. It is a dinosaur. It is so cool." + +They talked and laughed and painted more cards. They became friends. They had fun. They played the game. +Tom and Lily liked to play with their blocks. They had many blocks of different colors and shapes. They could make towers, houses, cars and animals with their blocks. They had fun playing together. + +One day, Tom wanted to make a long row of red blocks. He looked for all the red blocks he could find. He put them in a line on the floor. He was happy with his row of red blocks. He showed it to Lily. + +Lily liked Tom's row of red blocks. She wanted to make one too. But she could not find any more red blocks. They were all in Tom's row. She felt sad and angry. She had an idea. She took some of Tom's red blocks and replaced them with her blue blocks. She made her own row of blue and red blocks. + +Tom saw what Lily did. He did not like it. He wanted his row of red blocks back. He shouted at Lily. He took his red blocks from her row and replaced them with her yellow blocks. He made his row of red and yellow blocks. + +Lily saw what Tom did. She did not like it. She wanted her row of blue and red blocks back. She shouted at Tom. She took her blue blocks from his row and replaced them with his green blocks. She made her row of blue and green blocks. + +Tom and Lily were both very angry. They did not want to share their blocks. They did not want to play together. They glared at each other. They tasted something bitter in their mouths. It was their anger. They did not like it. They wished they could be friends again. +Lily likes cereal. She likes to eat it with milk and a spoon. She likes to make crunchy sounds with her mouth. She likes to see the shapes and colors of the cereal. + +One day, Lily sees a huge box of cereal in the store. It is bigger than her. It has a picture of a tiger on it. The tiger says, "They're grrreat!" Lily thinks the tiger is funny. She thinks the cereal must be grrreat, too. + +She asks her mom to buy the huge box of cereal. Her mom says, "That's too much cereal, Lily. We don't have room for it at home. How about we get a smaller box?" Lily is sad. She really wants the huge box of cereal. + +She thinks of a plan. She says, "Mom, can I have a little bit of the huge box of cereal? Just a little bit. Please?" Her mom says, "Okay, Lily. You can have a little bit of the huge box of cereal. But only a little bit. And you have to share it with your brother." + +Lily is happy. She thanks her mom. She takes the huge box of cereal to the cashier. She pays with her mom's money.

He finds a ball of yarn in the house. He ties the yarn to his truck. He makes the truck go vroom vroom and honk honk. He drags the yarn behind the truck. The cat sees the yarn and gets curious. It chases the yarn and catches it. Ben stops the truck and laughs. The cat plays with the yarn and the truck. Ben feels happy again. He has a new friend. +Lila and Ben are twins. They like to go to the zoo with Mom and Dad. They see many animals, like lions, monkeys, and penguins. They have fun and learn new things. + +One day, they go to a new part of the zoo. They see a big bird with a long neck and legs. It has black and white feathers and a small head. Mom says it is an ostrich. Lila and Ben are curious. They want to meet the ostrich. + +They go closer to the fence. The ostrich sees them and walks towards them. It makes a funny sound, like a snort. Lila and Ben giggle. They say hello to the ostrich. + +"Hello, ostrich. What is your name?" Lila asks. + +The ostrich snorts again. It looks at Lila and Ben with its big eyes. It pecks at the fence. + +"Maybe it is hungry," Ben says. He picks up a leaf from the ground and holds it out to the ostrich. + +The ostrich stretches its neck and takes the leaf from Ben's hand. It chews it and swallows it. It snorts again, as if to say thank you. + +Lila and Ben smile. They think the ostrich is friendly. They give it more leaves and stroke its feathers.

They learn a lot and meet many animals. But their favorite is the ostrich. They hope to see it again soon. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play in the garden. They had a big tent where they could hide and pretend to be explorers. One day, they decided to camp in the tent overnight. They packed some snacks, a flashlight, and a book of stories. + +Before they went to sleep, they zipped up the tent to keep out the bugs. They ate some cookies and read a story about a brave knight who fought a dragon. They felt very cozy and happy in their tent. They turned off the flashlight and said good night to each other. + +But as soon as they closed their eyes, they heard a buzzing sound. It was a mosquito that had sneaked into the tent. It flew around the tent, looking for a place to bite. Ben and Lily felt something tickle their ears and noses. They slapped their faces and rubbed their eyes. They turned on the flashlight and saw the mosquito flying near the ceiling of the tent. + +They grabbed a pillow and tried to hit the mosquito, but they missed. The mosquito was too fast and smart. It dodged the pillow and flew to the other side of the tent. Ben and Lily chased it with the pillow, but they only made the tent shake and rattle. + +They were about to give up, when they saw a small hole in the tent. It was where the mosquito had come in. They had an idea. They put the pillow over the hole and waited. The mosquito saw the hole and thought it was a way out. It flew towards the hole, but it hit the pillow instead. Ben and Lily peeked from behind the pillow and saw the mosquito stuck on the pillow. They smiled and high-fived each other. They had caught the mosquito. + +They threw the pillow and the mosquito outside the tent. They zipped up the tent again and checked for any other holes. They found none. They were safe and clean.

"Can I see?" + +Ben nodded and gave her the jar. Lily looked at the ladybug and smiled. She put the jar on the grass and searched for more bugs. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud hiss. They turned around and saw water spraying from a hose. The hose had a leak and it was making a big puddle. + +"Oh no, the hose is broken!" Lily said. "We have to tell Mom!" + +But Ben was shy. He did not like to talk to grown-ups. He was afraid they would be angry. + +"Maybe we can fix it," Ben said. "Let's try to find something to stop the leak." + +They searched for something to use. They found a rock, a stick, a leaf, and a sock. But none of them worked. The water kept spraying and the puddle kept growing. + +"Ben, Lily, what are you doing?" Mom said, coming out of the house. She saw the hose and the puddle and the jar. + +"We're sorry, Mom," Lily said. "The hose has a leak and we tried to fix it, but we couldn't." + +Mom looked at them and smiled. She was not angry. She was proud. + +"You did a good job trying to help," Mom said. "But sometimes we need to ask for help when we have a problem. Come on, let's turn off the water and clean up the mess." + +She took them by the hand and led them to the faucet. She turned off the water and the hiss stopped. She gave them a towel and helped them dry the hose and the jar. + +"Can we keep the ladybug, Mom?" Ben asked, shyly. + +"Sure, Ben, as long as you take good care of it," Mom said. "But remember, it is a living thing, not a toy. It needs air and water and food." + +"Okay, Mom, we will," Lily and Ben said. They thanked Mom and hugged her. They took the jar and went back to the garden. They searched for some leaves and flowers to feed the ladybug. They were happy and proud.

He said Ben's strip of cloth was too long and made his kite slow. He said he would cut it off with his scissors. + +Ben felt sad and angry. He did not want the boy to cut his strip of cloth. He liked his strip of cloth. It made his kite fly well. He tried to pull his kite away, but the boy was faster. He snipped the strip of cloth with his scissors and laughed. + +Ben cried. He saw his strip of cloth fall to the ground. He saw his kite lose balance and fall too. He ran to pick up his kite and his strip of cloth. He hoped he could fix them. + +But then he saw something else. He saw the fake dragon kite fly away. The boy had let go of his string by mistake. He had no control over his kite.

He pulled it out and threw it away. He hugged Tim and said he was sorry. He said he wished Tim had minded the bee. He said he wished they had played somewhere else. + +But it was too late. Tim's finger was swollen and red. He felt sick and dizzy. He had an allergic reaction to the sting. He needed a doctor. Sam called for help. He hoped Tim would be okay. He was very anxious. He did not like the bee. He did not like the garden. He did not like the fun. He only liked Tim. +Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a rabbit in the grass. The rabbit is brown and soft. + +"Look, a rabbit!" Tom says. He runs to the rabbit. He wants to grab it. + +"Wait, Tom!" Anna says. "The rabbit is scared. It will run away." + +But Tom does not listen. He tries to grab the rabbit. The rabbit is fast. It hops away. Tom falls on the ground. + +"Ouch!" Tom says. He has a scratch on his knee. He cries. + +Anna runs to Tom. She helps him get up. She gives him a hug. + +"I'm sorry, Tom," Anna says. "Are you okay?" + +Tom nods. He wipes his tears. He smiles. + +"It's okay, Anna," Tom says. "The rabbit is great. Maybe we can see it again." + +Anna smiles. She holds Tom's hand. They walk to the swings. They are still friends. +Lily and Max are twins. They like to play pretend. Today, they are pretending to be singers. They have a stage in their room. It is a big box with a curtain. + +Lily goes first. She puts on a pink dress and a shiny hat. She holds a brush as a microphone. She sings a song she made up. Max claps for her. He thinks she is good. + +"Your turn, Max!" Lily says. She pulls the curtain for him. + +Max is shy. He does not like to sing. He likes to play with cars and trucks. He gazes at the stage. He does not want to go. + +"Come on, Max. It is fun!" Lily says. She is playful. She wants to make him happy. + +Max takes a deep breath. He goes to the stage. He puts on a blue shirt and a funny wig. He holds a toy car as a microphone. He sings a song about cars and trucks. Lily laughs. She thinks he is funny. + +They both have fun. They sing and dance on the stage. They pretend to be singers. They are happy. +Anna and Ben love winter. They love to play in the snow, make snowmen and throw snowballs. They also love to see the reindeer that live in the forest near their house. The reindeer are big and strong, and have horns on their heads. Sometimes, Anna and Ben see them run and jump in the snow. + +One day, Anna and Ben go to the forest with their dad. They hope to see the reindeer again. They walk and walk, but they do not see any reindeer. They only see trees and snow. Anna and Ben are sad. They want to see the reindeer. + +Then, they hear a sound. It is a loud sound, like a bell. They look up and see something in the sky. It is a sleigh, pulled by eight reindeer. The reindeer are flying, and they have bells on their necks. The sleigh is red and shiny, and has a big bag of gifts. On the sleigh, there is a man with a white beard and a red suit. He is smiling and waving. He is Santa Claus! + +Anna and Ben are very happy. They wave back and shout, "Hello, Santa!" Santa sees them and says, "Ho ho ho! Merry Christmas, Anna and Ben! You have been very good this year. I have some gifts for you in my bag. Do you want to see them?" + +Anna and Ben nod and say, "Yes, please!" Santa lands his sleigh near them and gives them each a gift. Anna gets a doll and Ben gets a truck. They hug Santa and thank him. They also pet the reindeer and tell them how strong and beautiful they are. The reindeer nuzzle them and make soft sounds. + +Santa says, "I have to go now. I have many more gifts to deliver. But I will see you again next year. Be good and have fun. And remember, I love you!" He gets back on his sleigh and says to the reindeer, "On, Dasher! On, Dancer! On, Prancer and Vixen! On, Comet! On, Cupid! On, Donner and Blitzen! To the top of the world and away!" The reindeer fly up and away, and soon they are out of sight. + +Anna and Ben wave goodbye and say, "Bye, Santa! We love you too!" They are very happy. They have seen the reindeer and Santa. They have got gifts. They have had a wonderful day. They hope to see them again next year. They hug their dad and go back home. They play with their gifts and tell their mom about their adventure. They are very lucky. They are very happy. They are very loved. +Anna liked to read books with her dad. He would sit on the sofa and hold her on his lap. He would point to the pictures and say the words. Anna would repeat the words and ask questions. She learned many new things from the books. + +One day, Anna found a book that she had never seen before. It was big and old and had many pages. She wanted to read it with her dad. She ran to him and showed him the book. "Dad, can we read this book?" she asked. + +Dad looked at the book and smiled. "This is a special book, Anna. It was my dad's book. He gave it to me when I was a little boy. He loved this book very much. He made me promise to take good care of it and to pass it on to my child. And now I pass it on to you. But you have to promise me something too." + +"What do I have to promise, dad?" Anna asked. + +"You have to promise to be gentle with the book, and not to tear or stain the pages. You have to promise to read it often and to learn from it. And you have to promise to love it as much as I do and as much as my dad did. Can you promise that, Anna?" + +Anna nodded. She hugged the book and said, "I promise, dad. I promise to be gentle and to read and to love the book. Thank you for giving it to me, dad. I love you." + +Dad hugged Anna and kissed her forehead. He opened the book and turned to the first page. It had a picture of a lion and a lamb. He said, "This book is called The Book of Life. It tells stories about God and his people. It tells stories about love and hope and faith. It tells stories about life and death and life again. Do you want to hear the first story, Anna?" + +Anna nodded again. She snuggled closer to her dad and looked at the picture. She said, "Yes, dad. I want to hear the first story. Please read it to me." + +Dad smiled and began to read. He said, "In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth. And God said, Let there be light. And there was light..." +Sam liked to play with his fireman toy. He pretended to put out fires and rescue people. He made siren noises and zoomed around the room. He had fun, but he also made a big mess. His fireman toy was dirty and so were his clothes. + +"Sam, it's time to clean up!" his mom called. "You need to put away your fireman toy and change your clothes. We are going to the park soon." + +"But mom, I'm still playing!" Sam said. He did not want to stop. + +"Sam, you can play with your fireman toy at the park. But first you need to clean it. Look, it has mud and dust on it. It needs a bath. And so do you. You are not a regular fireman, you are a dirty fireman!" his mom said. + +Sam looked at his fireman toy and his clothes. He saw that his mom was right. He did not want to be a dirty fireman. He wanted to be a regular fireman, like the ones he saw on TV. He decided to listen to his mom. + +"OK, mom, I will clean up. Can you help me?" he asked. + +"Sure, Sam, I will help you. Come on, let's go to the bathroom. We will wash your fireman toy and you. Then we will put on some clean clothes. And then we will go to the park and have more fun. How does that sound?" his mom said. + +Sam smiled and nodded. He hugged his fireman toy and followed his mom. He was happy to be a regular fireman. He was also happy to go to the park. He hoped to see some real firemen there. He wanted to say hello to them and show them his fireman toy. He thought they would like it. He thought they would be proud of him. He thought he was a good fireman. +Tim and Sam are friends. They like to play soccer in the park. They want to win a trophy. They practice every day. + +One day, they have a big game. They play hard. They run, kick, and pass. The other team is good too. The score is tie. No one can score a goal. + +"Come on, Tim, we can do it!" Sam says. + +"Yes, Sam, we can!" Tim says. + +They see a chance. Tim passes the ball to Sam. Sam runs to the goal. He shoots. He scores! They win the game! + +Tim and Sam hug. They are happy. They get a trophy. It is shiny and big. They hold it up. They smile. + +They go home. They show their trophy to their moms and dads.

They dream of soccer. They are friends. They are champions. +Lily and Tom are playing in the park. They like to run and jump and slide. They see a big light in the sky. It is yellow and bright. It is the sun. + +"Look, Lily, the sun is smiling at us!" Tom says. He points to the sun. + +Lily laughs. She thinks Tom is silly. "The sun is not smiling, Tom. The sun is just a light. It does not have a face." + +Tom does not agree. He thinks Lily is silly. "The sun does have a face, Lily. It has eyes and a nose and a mouth. It is happy to see us." + +They start to argue. They yell at each other. They do not listen to each other. They are not having fun. + +A bird flies by. It sees Lily and Tom. It hears them yell. It thinks they are silly too. It lands on a branch near them. It makes a loud noise. It sounds like "squawk, squawk, squawk!" + +Lily and Tom stop yelling. They look at the bird. They are surprised. They think the bird is funny. They laugh. + +The bird flies away. It is happy. It likes to make people laugh. + +Lily and Tom look at each other. They are sorry. They hug. + +They look at the sun again. They see it is still bright. They think it is beautiful. + +They decide to play together. They do not yell anymore. They are happy too. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they find a lemon tree. They pick some lemons and try to eat them. + +"Yuck!" Lily says. "This is sour!" + +Ben makes a funny face. "I don't like it either. Let's make lemonade!" + +They find a jug and some water. They squeeze the lemons and add some sugar. They stir and stir. They pour some lemonade in two cups. + +"Here, try this!" Ben says. He gives a cup to Lily. + +Lily takes a sip. "Mmm, this is good! Thank you, Ben!" + +She smiles and gives him a kiss on the cheek. + +Ben blushes. He feels happy. He kisses her back. + +They stand and hold hands. They drink their lemonade and watch the birds. They are happy. +Lila and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to pretend they were king and queen of a big castle. They had a long stick that they used as a sword and a crown made of flowers. + +"Look, Ben, I found a big bug!" Lila said, holding a shiny beetle in her hand. "It is our pet. We can name it Sparky." + +"Wow, it is pretty!" Ben said, touching the beetle gently. "Can I hold it?" + +"OK, but be careful. It might fly away." Lila said, giving the beetle to Ben. + +Ben held the beetle in his palm and looked at it closely. He saw its wings move under its shell. He wanted to see it fly. + +"Watch this, Lila!" Ben said, raising his hand high in the air. "I will make Sparky fly!" + +But as soon as he raised his hand, the beetle flew out of his grasp and landed on Lila's crown. Lila screamed and shook her head, trying to get the beetle off. + +"Ben, what did you do?" Lila said, angry and scared. "You made Sparky bite me!" + +"I'm sorry, Lila, I didn't mean to!" Ben said, running to help her. "I just wanted to see him fly!" + +But it was too late. The beetle had flown away, leaving behind a red mark on Lila's forehead. Lila cried and Ben hugged her. + +"I'm sorry, Lila, I'm sorry!" Ben said, over and over. "You are still the queen, and I am still the king. We can find another pet, OK?" + +Lila sniffed and nodded. She forgave Ben, but she did not want to play with bugs anymore. She wanted to play with something soft and fluffy, like a bunny. Maybe they could find one in the garden. They decided to look for one together, holding hands. They still had their sword and their crown, and they still had each other. They were happy again. +Tom and Mia like to play with blocks. They have many blocks of different colors and shapes. They can build many things with blocks, like houses, cars, and towers. + +One day, they decide to build a big tower with all their blocks. They stack the blocks one on top of another, making the tower taller and taller. They are very happy and proud of their tower. + +But then, they see a problem. Their tower is not very strong. It wobbles and shakes when they touch it. They are afraid that their tower will fall down and break. + +"What can we do to make our tower strong?" Tom asks Mia. + +"I have an idea!" Mia says. "We can use these spikes to hold the blocks together. Spikes are tough and sharp. They can make our tower stable and safe." + +Mia shows Tom some spikes that she found in a box. They are made of metal and have pointy ends. Tom thinks that Mia's idea is good. He agrees to use the spikes. + +They take the spikes and push them into the blocks, connecting them with each other. They use many spikes, making sure that every block has at least one spike. They work hard and carefully, avoiding the pointy ends of the spikes. + +Soon, they finish their work. They look at their tower and smile. Their tower is now very strong. It does not wobble or shake anymore. It stands firm and tall. + +"We did it!" Tom says. "We built a strong tower with spikes!" + +"We are so smart and tough!" Mia says. "Our tower is the best!" + +They hug each other and admire their tower. They are very happy and proud of their tower. They think that building with blocks and spikes is fun. They want to build more things with blocks and spikes. They have many ideas and plans. They are ready for more adventures. +Jenny liked to sing songs with her mommy. They had a big toy that could record their voices and play them back. Jenny thought it was fun to hear herself and mommy on the toy. + +One day, mommy said, "Jenny, do you want to record a song for grandma? She lives far away and misses you very much. We can send her our song in the mail and make her happy." + +Jenny nodded and smiled. She loved her grandma and wanted to make her happy. She and mommy picked a lovely song that grandma liked and sang it together. They recorded it on the toy and listened to it. It sounded nice. + +Mommy put the toy in a big box and wrote grandma's name and address on it. She said, "Jenny, can you help me take this box to the mailman? He will take it to grandma's house and she will get it soon." + +Jenny helped mommy carry the box to the mailman. He smiled and said, "What a big and heavy box! What's inside?" + +Jenny said, "It's a song for grandma. We recorded it on our toy. We want to make her happy." + +The mailman said, "That's very sweet of you and your mommy. I'm sure grandma will love your song. You are very kind and thoughtful." + +Jenny and mommy thanked the mailman and waved goodbye. They felt happy and proud. They knew that grandma would love their song and feel their love. + +The moral of the story is: You can use your talents and creativity to show love and kindness to others. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. They also liked to look at the sky and find shapes in the clouds. Sometimes they saw animals, sometimes they saw cars, sometimes they saw stars. + +One day, they saw a very bright star in the sky. It was shining more than the others. Lily and Ben wondered what it was. + +"Maybe it is a fairy," Lily said. + +"Maybe it is a rocket," Ben said. + +"Maybe it is a ring," Lily said. + +"A ring?" Ben asked. + +"Yes, a ring. A ring that makes wishes come true. If you find it, you can have anything you want," Lily said. + +Ben liked that idea. He wanted a new bike, a big cake and a puppy. He looked at the star and wished he could find the ring. + +"How can we find it?" he asked Lily. + +Lily thought for a moment. She had an idea. + +"Maybe we can ask the star. Maybe it will tell us where the ring is," she said. + +She pointed at the star and shouted, "Hello, star! Can you hear us? We want to find the ring. Can you help us?" + +Lily and Ben waited for an answer. They were anxious. They hoped the star would hear them and be nice. + +But the star did not say anything. It just kept shining in the sky. + +Lily and Ben felt sad. They thought the star did not like them or did not care. + +They were about to give up, when they heard a voice. + +"Hello, Lily and Ben. I can hear you. I am the ring." + +Lily and Ben were surprised. They looked around and saw a small, shiny ring on the grass. It was the same color as the star. + +They ran to the ring and picked it up. It was warm and smooth. + +"Are you really the ring?" Lily asked. + +"Yes, I am. I came from the star. I am here to make your wishes come true," the ring said. + +Lily and Ben were happy. They thanked the ring and put it on their fingers. They made their wishes and smiled. + +The ring smiled too. It was glad to make them happy. It liked Lily and Ben. They were nice and fun. + +They played with the ring until it was time to go home. They said goodbye to the ring and the star. They promised to come back and play again. + +The ring and the star waved to them. They were happy too. They had made new friends. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play in the living room. They have a big couch that is white and soft. They pretend it is a mountain and they climb on it. + +"Look at me, Lily!" Ben says. "I can slide down the couch like a penguin!" He lies on his tummy and pushes himself off the edge of the couch. He slides on the floor and laughs. + +"Me too, me too!" Lily says. She wants to slide like Ben. She lies on her tummy and pushes herself off the couch. But she slides too fast and hits the table. She bumps her head and cries. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Lily says. She holds her head and feels a bump. She sees blood on her hand and on the floor. She is scared and hurt. + +"Mommy, mommy, mommy!" Ben says. He runs to the kitchen and calls for their mommy. He is worried about Lily. He hopes she is okay. + +Mommy hears Ben and comes to the living room. She sees Lily on the floor and the blood. She is shocked and angry. She picks up Lily and hugs her. She says, "What happened? Why did you slide on the couch? You know it is dangerous!" + +Lily and Ben are sorry. They say, "We were playing. We didn't mean to slide. We didn't know it would hurt." + +Mommy says, "You should have been careful. You could have been hurt worse. You need to go to the doctor. And you need to say goodbye to the couch. We are giving it away. No more sliding on the couch. Ever." + +Lily and Ben are sad. They like the couch. They don't want to give it away. They don't want to go to the doctor. They don't want to slide anymore. They wish they had played something else. +Lily liked to bake with her mom. They made cakes and pies and cookies. Lily had a doll that she loved very much. She called her doll Anna. Lily always gave Anna a piece of what she baked. + +One day, Lily and her mom baked a lemon cake. It was yellow and soft and smelled good. Lily wanted to share it with Anna. She cut a small slice and put it on a plate. She brought it to her room where Anna was waiting. + +Lily said, "Here, Anna, this is for you. It is a lemon cake. It is yummy." She gave Anna the plate and pretended that Anna ate it. Lily took a bite of her own slice. She made a face. It was sour! + +Lily did not like sour things. She spit out the cake and said, "Yuck! This cake is sour! I don't like it. Do you like it, Anna?" She looked at Anna. Anna had a smile on her face. Lily thought Anna liked the cake. + +Lily said, "You like sour things, Anna? You are a good doll. You can have my cake. I will make you something else. Maybe a chocolate cake. Do you like chocolate, Anna?" She hugged Anna and took the plate away. She went back to the kitchen to bake something else. +Tommy was playing with his toy cars when he heard the telephone ring. He ran to the living room and saw his mom pick up the phone. She looked happy at first, but then her face changed. She said "oh no" and "I'm sorry" and "how can I help?" Tommy did not understand what was happening, but he felt scared. + +Mom put down the phone and hugged Tommy. She had tears in her eyes. She said "Tommy, I have some bad news. Your grandpa is very sick. He had to go to the hospital. He loves you very much, but he might not come back." Tommy felt a big pain in his chest. He loved his grandpa. He liked to visit him and play with him and hear his stories. He did not want him to go away. + +Tommy started to cry. He cried loud and hard. He said "I want to see grandpa. I want to talk to him. I want him to be fine." Mom said "I know, honey. I want that too. But we can't go to the hospital right now. It's too far and too dangerous. We have to stay home and hope for the best." She tried to calm Tommy down, but he kept crying. + +Mom took Tommy to his room and gave him his favorite teddy bear. She said "Tommy, I have an idea. Why don't we make a card for grandpa? We can draw some pictures and write some words and tell him how much we love him. Maybe we can send it to him or call him later. Would you like that?" Tommy nodded. He liked to draw and write. He wanted to make grandpa happy. + +Mom and Tommy worked on the card together. They used crayons and stickers and glitter. They drew a big heart and a rainbow and a car. They wrote "We love you grandpa" and "Get well soon" and "You are fine". They smiled and hugged each other. They felt a little better. They hoped grandpa would see their card and smile too. +Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play outside in the sun. They have a ball and a kite. They throw the ball and run after it. They fly the kite and watch it go high. + +One day, the weather is bad. It is cold and rainy. Sara and Ben are sad. They cannot play outside. They sit in Sara's room and look out the window. + +"I wish the sun would come back," Sara says. + +"Me too," Ben says. "I miss the ball and the kite." + +They are quiet for a while. Then, Sara has an idea. + +"Let's play a game," she says. "We can pretend we are outside. We can use pillows and blankets and toys." + +Ben smiles. He likes Sara's idea. He thinks she is honest and kind. He helps her make a fort with pillows and blankets. They put toys inside the fort. They pretend the toys are animals and plants. + +They have fun playing in the fort. They make noises and stories. They laugh and hug. They forget about the rain. + +The weather is bad, but Sara and Ben are happy. They have each other. They are friends. +Lily and Tom are playing with their cars in the garden. They have a big box of cars of different colors and sizes. They like to make noises and pretend they are driving fast. + +"Look, Lily, I have a red car. It is very fast and loud. Vroom, vroom!" Tom says. + +"I have a yellow car. It is very shiny and pretty. Beep, beep!" Lily says. + +They zoom their cars around the grass and the flowers. They are having fun. + +But then, they see a terrible car. It is brown and dirty. It has a broken wheel and a dent. It looks very old and sad. + +"Who put this terrible car here?" Tom asks. + +"I don't know. Maybe it is someone's old car. It does not work anymore." Lily says. + +They do not like the terrible car. They think it is ugly and boring. They do not want to play with it. + +"Let's put it away. We don't need it." Tom says. + +"Okay. Where should we put it?" Lily asks. + +"Let's put it in the trash. It is garbage." Tom says. + +They pick up the terrible car and carry it to the trash can. They throw it inside and close the lid. + +"Bye-bye, terrible car. We don't like you." Tom says. + +"Bye-bye, terrible car. We have better cars." Lily says. + +They go back to their box of cars and continue to play. They are happy. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. Today, they see a big box under a tree. It has a red bow on it. + +"Wow, what is that?" Tom asks. + +"Maybe it is a gift for someone," Mia says. + +They run to the box and look at it. It is heavy and has a tag that says "To: Park Friends. From: Santa." + +"Santa? But it is not Christmas!" Tom says. + +"Maybe he is early this year," Mia says. "Do you think we can open it?" + +Tom nods. He tries to lift the box, but it is too hard. He asks Mia to help him. They lift the box together and put it on the grass. + +They are excited. They pull the bow and rip the paper. Inside, they find many toys and books and candies. + +"Wow, this is amazing!" Tom says. + +"Thank you, Santa!"

They think Santa is very nice. +Tom and Sue went to the park with Mom. They saw a pond with many ducks. They liked to feed the ducks with bread. They threw some bread into the water and the ducks came to eat. + +"Look, Mom, the ducks are hungry!" Tom said. + +"Yes, they are. They like bread very much. But don't throw too much, or they will get sick," Mom said. + +Sue saw a duck that did not move. It was on the grass, near the pond. It had no feathers on its head. It looked very sad. + +"Mom, what is wrong with that duck?" Sue asked. + +Mom looked at the duck and frowned. She took Sue's hand and walked away from the duck. + +"That duck is dead, Sue. It means it is not alive anymore. It cannot eat, or swim, or quack. It is very sad, but we cannot help it," Mom said. + +Sue felt sorry for the duck. She wanted to say something nice to it. + +"Bye, duck. I hope you are happy in heaven. You are welcome to come back if you can," Sue said. + +Tom heard Sue and nodded. He also said goodbye to the duck. + +"Bye, duck. You were a good duck. Maybe you will see other ducks in heaven. They will welcome you and play with you," Tom said. + +Mom smiled and hugged Tom and Sue. She was proud of them for being kind and gentle. + +"Come on, kids. Let's go and see the swings. Maybe we can find some more ducks that are alive and happy," Mom said. + +Tom and Sue agreed. They followed Mom to the swings. They still thought about the dead duck, but they also enjoyed the park. They hoped the duck was in a better place. +Ben and Mia went to the big store with Mom. They liked to look at all the things in the store. Mom gave them each a small cart to push. They could put some things in their carts, but not too many. + +Ben saw a big ball that was red and blue. He liked the ball. He put it in his cart. Mia saw a soft bear that was brown and white. She liked the bear. She put it in her cart. They pushed their carts to Mom. + +"Look, Mom, look what we have!" they said. + +Mom looked at their carts. She smiled. "Those are nice things," she said. "But we only have some money to spend. We can't buy everything. You have to choose one thing each." + +Ben and Mia looked at their carts. They looked at each other. They did not want to choose. They wanted both things. + +"But Mom, we like both things!" they said. "We want both things!" + +Mom shook her head. "I'm sorry, but we can't. That's not how it works. You have to pick one thing each. That's normal. Everyone has to do that." + +Ben and Mia frowned. They did not like that. They did not think it was normal. They thought it was unfair. They started to cry. + +Mom sighed. She did not like that. She did not think it was fair. She thought it was hard. She tried to calm them down. + +"Come on, Ben and Mia, don't cry. It's not that bad. You can still have one thing each. And maybe next time, you can have the other thing. Or you can share. Or you can trade. There are many ways to have fun with your things. You just have to be smart and kind." + +Ben and Mia listened to Mom. They wiped their tears. They looked at their carts. They looked at each other. They thought about what Mom said. They decided to try it. + +"OK, Mom, we will choose one thing each," they said. "And we will share. And we will trade. And we will have fun." + +Mom smiled. She was proud of them. She hugged them. She helped them pay for their things. They left the store with their carts. They were happy. They had one thing each. And they had each other. That was normal. And that was enough. +Lily and Ben were playing with paper and glue. They wanted to make a big castle with towers and flags. Lily was good at cutting and folding the paper. Ben was good at sticking the paper with glue. + +"Let's make a moat around the castle," Lily suggested. "We can use blue paper and glue it to the floor." + +"Okay," Ben agreed. "That sounds fun." + +They worked together to make the moat. They cut out a long strip of blue paper and glued it around the castle. They were almost done when Ben's little brother, Sam, came into the room. + +Sam was clumsy and curious. He saw the castle and the moat and wanted to play with them. He ran towards them and tripped over the glue bottle. The glue spilled all over the floor and the moat. The paper got wet and sticky and tore apart. + +"Sam, no!" Lily and Ben shouted. "You ruined our castle and our moat!" + +Sam started to cry. He didn't mean to make a mess. He just wanted to join the game. + +"I'm sorry, I'm sorry," he sobbed. "I didn't know it was glue. I thought it was water." + +Lily and Ben were angry and sad. They had worked hard on their castle and their moat. They didn't want to play with Sam. They wanted him to go away. + +But then they saw how sorry Sam was. He looked scared and lonely. They remembered that he was their brother and they loved him. + +"It's okay, Sam," Lily said. "We're not mad at you. We know you didn't do it on purpose." + +"Really?" Sam asked, wiping his tears. + +"Really," Ben said. "But next time, please be careful with the glue. And ask us before you touch our things." + +"Okay, I will," Sam promised. "Can I play with you now?" + +Lily and Ben looked at each other. They smiled and nodded. + +"Sure, you can play with us," Lily said. "But first, we have to clean up this mess." + +They all got some paper towels and wiped the glue off the floor. They threw away the ruined paper and got some new ones. They decided to make a new castle and a new moat. And this time, they let Sam help them. He was clumsy, but he was also creative. He made some funny faces and animals out of paper and glue. They laughed and had fun together. They learned to share and forgive. They were happy. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play together. Today, they want to go to the park. The park has swings, slides and a sandbox. They ask their moms if they can go. + +"Yes, you can go, but be back by lunchtime," Anna's mom says. + +"OK, mom, we will," Anna says. + +"And don't forget to wear your hats and sunscreen," Ben's mom says. + +"OK, mom, we will," Ben says. + +They put on their hats and sunscreen and take their bikes. They ride to the park. They have fun on the swings and slides. They make a big castle in the sandbox. They laugh and talk. + +"Look, Anna, I made a flag for our castle," Ben says. + +"Wow, Ben, that's cool. I made a moat for our castle," Anna says. + +They are happy. They play some more. Then, they hear a bell. + +"Ding, ding, ding. It's lunchtime, kids. Come back home," a voice says. + +It is a lady with a megaphone. She reminds the kids to go back home. + +"Oh, no, it's lunchtime already. We have to go, Anna," Ben says. + +"OK, Ben, let's go. But can we come back later?" Anna says. + +"Maybe, if our moms let us. And if we are not too lazy," Ben says. + +They smile. They get on their bikes. They wave goodbye to the lady. They ride back home. They are hungry. They hope they can go to the park again. They like the park. They like to play together. They are friends. +Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big cake on a table. It looks yummy. They want to eat it. + +"Let's take some cake," Tom says. "No one is here." + +"No, Tom," Anna says. "That is not nice. The cake is not ours. Someone else made it." + +Tom does not listen. He runs to the table and grabs a big piece of cake. He puts it in his mouth. He gazes at Anna and smiles. + +Anna is sad. She walks away. She does not want to play with Tom. + +Tom feels something bad in his mouth. The cake is bitter. It is not sweet. It is sour. He spits it out. He makes a face. He does not like the cake. + +He looks at the table. He sees a sign. It says: "Lemon cake for the bake sale. Do not touch." + +Tom is sorry. He took someone else's cake. He was not nice. He hurt Anna's feelings. He hurt his own mouth. + +He runs to Anna. He says: "I am sorry, Anna. You were right. The cake was not ours. It was bitter. I did not like it. Can we be friends again?" + +Anna is kind. She says: "Yes, Tom. We can be friends. But next time, do not take what is not yours. It is not nice. It can make you sick. It can make others sad." + +Tom nods. He says: "You are right, Anna. I will not do it again. I will be nice. I will share. I will ask before I take." + +They hug. They are friends. They play in the park. They are happy. + +The moral value of the story is: Do not take what is not yours. It is not nice. It can make you sick. It can make others sad. Be nice. Share. Ask before you take. +Jill and Ben are friends. They like to play in the snow. They make a snowman and a snow fort. They have fun. + +One day, Jill finds a purple glove in the snow. She thinks it is pretty. She puts it on her hand. She shows it to Ben. + +"Look, Ben, I have a purple glove. It is warm and soft. Do you like it?" Jill says. + +Ben is jealous. He wants the purple glove. He does not have a glove. His hand is cold and wet. He thinks of a joke. + +"I like your glove, Jill. But do you know what is inside it?" Ben says. + +"What is inside it, Ben?" Jill says. + +Ben smiles. He says, "A spider!" + +Jill is scared. She hates spiders. She screams and throws the glove away. She runs to her mom. + +Ben laughs. He picks up the glove. He looks inside. He does not see a spider. He sees a hole. The hole is big and sharp. It cuts his finger. He bleeds. He cries. + +Jill's mom comes. She sees Ben crying. She sees the glove. She sees the blood. She is angry. + +"Ben, what did you do? Why did you joke with Jill? Why did you hurt yourself? This is not a nice glove. This is a bad glove. You are a bad boy!" Jill's mom says. + +She takes Jill and the glove. She goes home. She does not talk to Ben. She does not let Jill play with Ben. + +Ben is alone. He is sad. He is sorry. He wants his friend back. He wants a good glove. He wants a good joke. He does not have any. He has a bad ending. +Tom and Lily were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They wanted to give him a snack, so they went inside to get some cookies. + +"Look, Mom, we made a snowman!" Tom said. + +"That's very nice, dear. Do you want some cookies for him?" Mom asked. + +"Yes, please!" Lily said. + +Mom gave them a tray with some cookies and a cup of hot chocolate. "Be careful, the tray is heavy and the chocolate is hot. Don't spill it on the snow," she said. + +Tom and Lily thanked Mom and went outside. They walked slowly and tried to balance the tray. They did not want to drop the cookies or the chocolate. + +They reached the snowman and put the tray on the ground. They gave him a cookie and a sip of chocolate. They smiled and said, "Here you go, Mr. Snowman. Enjoy your snack!" + +But then, they heard a loud crack. The snowman's mouth broke and the cookie and the chocolate fell on the snow. The snowman looked sad and his hat and scarf fell off. + +"Oh no, what happened?" Tom asked. + +"The cookie and the chocolate were too hot. They melted his mouth and made him icy," Lily said. + +Tom and Lily felt sorry for the snowman. They hugged him and said, "We're sorry, Mr. Snowman. We didn't mean to hurt you. We just wanted to share our snack with you." + +The snowman did not say anything. He was too icy to talk. But he smiled with his eyes and nodded. He was happy that Tom and Lily were his friends. +Lily was a big girl. She had a little brother, Max. Max was an infant. He was very small and cried a lot. Lily did not like it when Max cried. She wanted to play with him, but he only slept and ate and cried. + +One day, Lily's mom said, "Lily, do you want to help me feed Max?" Lily nodded. She liked to help her mom. She followed her mom to the nursery, where Max was in his crib. He was awake and making noises. + +"Hello, Max," Lily said. She smiled at him. He looked at her with his blue eyes. He made a funny face. Lily laughed. "You are silly, Max," she said. + +Lily's mom gave her a bottle of milk. "Here, Lily, you can hold the bottle for Max. Be gentle and careful, okay?" she said. + +Lily took the bottle and held it to Max's mouth. He opened his mouth and sucked on the bottle. He made slurping sounds. Lily watched him. She wondered what he was thinking. Did he know who she was? Did he like her? Did he want to play with her? + +She asked her mom, "Mom, what does Max think? Does he know me?" + +Her mom smiled and hugged her. "Of course he knows you, Lily. You are his big sister. He loves you very much. He thinks you are very kind and fun. He wants to play with you when he grows up a little more." + +Lily felt happy. She hugged her mom and Max. She said, "I love you, Mom. I love you, Max. You are my family. I will always help you and play with you." +Anna and Ben are playing with their toys in the living room. They have a big box that they pretend is a spaceship. They put their dolls and cars inside the box and make noises like zoom and beep. + +Mom calls them for lunch. She says they have to leave their toys and come to the table. Anna and Ben do not want to stop playing. They say they are going to the moon and they will be back soon. + +Mom says they have to listen and come now. She says their toys will be safe in the box. She says she will not touch them or move them. Anna and Ben are not happy, but they obey. They go to the table and eat their sandwiches and fruit. + +After lunch, Mom says they can go back to their toys. Anna and Ben run to the living room. They are excited to play with their spaceship again. But when they open the box, they see something bad. Their toys are wet and dirty. There is water and mud in the box. Their dolls and cars are soaked and stained. + +Anna and Ben are sad and angry. They ask Mom what happened. Mom says she is sorry. She says it was an accident. She says she was watering the plants and she spilled some water on the box. She says she did not know their toys were inside. She says she tried to dry them with a towel, but it was not enough. + +Anna and Ben cry. They say their toys are ruined. They say they do not want to play with them anymore. Mom says she is sorry again. She says she will try to clean them and make them better. She says she will buy them new toys if they want. She says she loves them and she did not mean to hurt them. + +Anna and Ben hug Mom. They say they love her too. They say they are still sad, but they forgive her. They say they will try to play with their toys again. They say they hope their toys are not sick. They say they hope their toys do not feel cold and dark in the wet box. They say they hope their toys have a dry cell to rest in. They say they will be gentle and careful with them. They say they will have fun with them again. +Ben and Mia liked to play in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. One day, they saw a big crane near the park. The crane was lifting heavy things and putting them on a truck. + +"Wow, look at that crane!" Ben said. "It is so big and strong!" + +"I want to see it closer!" Mia said. "Let's go!" + +They ran to the fence and looked at the crane. They saw a man sitting in a small box on top of the crane. He was pushing buttons and moving a stick. + +"Hello, Mr. Crane!" Mia shouted. "Can you hear us?" + +The man looked down and smiled. He waved at them and said, "Hello, kids! Do you like my crane?" + +"Yes, we do!" Ben and Mia said. "It is amazing!" + +"Thank you!" the man said. "Do you know what I do with my crane?" + +"No, what do you do?" Ben asked. + +"I help to build new houses and buildings. I lift the bricks, the wood, the metal and the glass. I put them where they need to go. It is a lot of work, but it is fun!" + +"That sounds cool!" Mia said. "Can we help you?" + +The man laughed. He said, "Well, you are too small to help me now. But maybe when you grow up, you can be crane drivers too. You just need to learn a lot and practice a lot. And you need to be lucky too. Lucky to find a good job and a good crane." + +Ben and Mia nodded. They said, "We will do that! We want to be like you!" + +The man said, "That's great! I'm sure you can do it. But for now, you should go back to the park and play. Have fun and be safe!" + +"Okay, thank you, Mr. Crane!" Ben and Mia said. They waved goodbye and ran back to the park. They were happy and excited. They had seen a big crane and talked to a nice man. They had learned something new and made a new friend. They felt very lucky. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play in the kitchen. They pretend to cook and eat. They open and close the refrigerator. They take out milk, eggs, cheese and fruit. + +One day, they see a small jar on the top shelf. It is shiny and red. It has a label that says "jam". Lily and Ben love jam. They want to taste it. They climb on a chair and reach for the jar. + +"Stop!" Mom says. She comes into the kitchen. She sees Lily and Ben with the jar. "That is not for you. That is for Grandma. I made it for her. She is coming to visit tomorrow. You have to pay if you want some jam." + +Lily and Ben look at Mom. They look at the jar. They look at each other. They do not have money. They only have toys. They think for a moment. + +"Can we pay with a hug?" Lily asks. + +"Can we pay with a kiss?" Ben asks. + +Mom smiles. She hugs and kisses them. She says, "That is a very good payment. But you still have to wait for Grandma. She will share the jam with you. Now put the jar back and help me clean up." + +Lily and Ben put the jar back. They help Mom clean up. They are happy. They love Mom. They love Grandma. They love jam. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with cars and trucks. They have many cars and trucks in a big box. One day, they want to play with a red truck that makes noise. But the red truck does not make noise. Tom says, "Why does the red truck not make noise?" + +Sam says, "Maybe the red truck needs new cells. Cells are small things that make toys work. They are inside the toys. Sometimes they get old and dirty and stop working. Then you need to replace them with new cells." + +Tom says, "How do we replace the cells? Where do we get new cells?" + +Sam says, "We need to ask Mom or Dad. They know how to replace the cells. They have new cells in a drawer. But we need to be careful. Cells are not for playing. They can be dangerous if we break them or put them in our mouth." + +Tom and Sam go to find Mom or Dad. They ask them to help them replace the cells in the red truck. Mom or Dad open the red truck and take out the old and dirty cells. They put in new and shiny cells. They close the red truck and give it back to Tom and Sam. Tom and Sam are happy. They turn on the red truck and it makes noise. They say, "Thank you, Mom or Dad. You are the best. Now we can play with the red truck." They run to the box and take out more cars and trucks. They have fun playing with their toys. +Tim and Liz were playing in the living room. They liked to pretend they were pirates and look for treasure. Tim had a toy sword and Liz had a toy map. + +"Arr, matey, we need to find the gold in the big armchair," Tim said, waving his sword. + +"OK, captain, let's go," Liz said, following him with the map. + +They climbed on the armchair and started to dig with their hands. They found some coins, a book, and a remote. They were very happy. + +But then, Tim saw something shiny under a cushion. He pulled it out and saw it was a pair of scissors. + +"Wow, look at this, Liz. It's a sharp weapon. Maybe we can use it to fight the bad guys," he said. + +He swung the scissors in the air, making a whoosh sound. Liz was scared. She knew scissors were not for playing. They were for cutting paper or hair. + +"Tim, stop! That's not a toy. That's dangerous. You can hurt yourself or me," she said. + +But Tim did not listen. He was having too much fun. He pretended to stab the cushion with the scissors. But he missed and hit Liz's arm instead. Liz screamed. She felt a lot of pain. She saw blood on her arm and on the scissors. + +Tim dropped the scissors. He saw what he had done. He felt very sorry. He did not mean to hurt Liz. He was just playing. + +"Liz, Liz, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Are you OK? Please don't cry," he said. + +He ran to get a tissue and tried to wipe the blood. But it did not help. Liz was still crying. She was very angry and sad. + +"Tim, you're bad. You hurt me. You're not my friend. Go away," she said. + +She ran to her mom, who was in the kitchen. She showed her the wound and told her what happened. + +Mom was very worried. She took Liz to the bathroom and cleaned the wound. She put a band-aid on it and gave her a hug and a kiss. + +"It's OK, Liz. You'll be fine. But you need to be careful with scissors. They're not for playing. They're sharp and they can cut you," she said. + +She also went to talk to Tim, who was sitting on the floor, crying. She told him he had to say sorry to Liz and to be more careful with his toys. She also took away the scissors and the sword and told him he could not play with them anymore. + +Tim felt very sorry. He knew he had made a big mistake. He wanted to say sorry to Liz and to be her friend again. + +He went to the bathroom and knocked on the door. + +"Liz, can I come in? I want to say sorry," he said. + +Liz opened the door. She saw Tim's face. He looked very sorry. She also saw he had no scissors or sword. + +She felt a little better. She knew Tim did not mean to hurt her. He was just playing. + +She decided to forgive him. She said, "OK, Tim, I accept your sorry. But you have to promise me you'll never play with scissors or sharp things again. They're dangerous and they can hurt us." + +Tim nodded. He said, "I promise, Liz. I'll never play with scissors or sharp things again. They're not fun. They're scary. I'm sorry I hurt you. You're my friend." + +They hugged each other. They felt happy again. + +They went back to the living room and played with the coins, the book, and the remote. They pretended they were pirates and looked for treasure. But this time, they used their imagination and their words, not their sharp toys. +Ben and Lily were playing with their blocks in the living room. They liked to build towers and bridges and castles with the blocks. They had many colors and shapes of blocks, but their favorite ones were the circles. They had four circles: red, blue, green and yellow. + +"Look, Lily, I made a rainbow with the circles!" Ben said, showing his sister his creation. He had stacked the circles on top of each other, from red to yellow. + +"That's pretty, Ben!" Lily said, smiling. She wanted to make a rainbow too, but she only had three circles: red, blue and green. She looked around for the yellow circle, but she could not find it. + +"Ben, where is the yellow circle?" she asked. + +"I don't know, Lily. Maybe it's under the couch or behind the bookshelf," Ben said, shrugging. + +Lily crawled under the couch and looked for the yellow circle. She saw some dust and a sock, but no circle. She moved to the bookshelf and looked behind it. She saw some papers and a pencil, but no circle. She felt troubled. She really wanted the yellow circle to complete her rainbow. + +She went back to Ben and saw that he had moved his rainbow to the coffee table. He was now playing with some other blocks. + +"Ben, can I have your yellow circle, please?" she asked. + +"No, Lily, it's mine. I need it for my rainbow," Ben said, holding the circle tightly. + +"But I want to make a rainbow too, Ben. Please share with me," Lily said, reaching for the circle. + +"No, Lily, go away. You're disturbing me," Ben said, pushing her away. + +Lily felt sad and angry. She did not like it when Ben was mean to her. She wanted to play with him, not fight with him. She decided to do something that would make him sorry. She grabbed his rainbow from the table and threw it on the floor. The circles rolled away in different directions. + +"Hey, Lily, what did you do? That's not nice!" Ben shouted, looking at his broken rainbow. + +"That's what you get for not sharing, Ben. You're not nice either!" Lily shouted back, sticking out her tongue. + +The noise of their shouting disturbed their mom, who was in the kitchen. She came to the living room and saw the mess and the angry faces of her children. + +"What's going on here, Ben and Lily? Why are you fighting?" she asked. + +Ben and Lily both started to tell their mom their side of the story. They blamed each other for being selfish and rude. They wanted their mom to take their side and punish the other. + +Their mom listened to them and shook her head. She was not happy with their behavior. She picked up the circles from the floor and gave them to Ben and Lily. + +"Ben and Lily, you both need to learn how to share and play nicely. The circles are not only yours or only mine. They are ours. You can both use them to make rainbows or anything else you want. But you have to take turns and respect each other. Do you understand?" she said. + +Ben and Lily nodded. They felt sorry for making their mom upset and for hurting each other. They realized that they were being silly and that they loved each other more than the circles. + +"Mom, I'm sorry for not sharing with Lily. I was being selfish," Ben said. + +"Mom, I'm sorry for throwing Ben's rainbow. I was being rude," Lily said. + +They hugged their mom and then hugged each other. They said sorry to each other and promised to be nicer. + +"Can we play with the circles together, Ben?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, Lily. Let's make a big rainbow together," Ben said. + +They smiled and took the circles to the floor. They stacked them on top of each other, from red to yellow. They made a big rainbow that was twice as pretty as their small ones. They were happy and proud of their rainbow. They did not disturb anyone anymore. They played with the circles and the other blocks until it was time for dinner. +Sara and Tom are twins. They like to play in the garden. One day, they find a shiny rock. It is a mineral. Sara wants to keep it. Tom wants to share it. + +"Give me the rock!" Tom says. + +"No, it is mine!" Sara says. + +They pull and tug. The rock breaks in two. They both cry. + +Mama hears them. She comes to the garden. She sees the broken rock and the sad twins. + +"What happened?" Mama asks. + +"We found a mineral. But we fought over it. And it broke." Sara says. + +"That is not nice. You should not fight. You should share. Fighting is bad. You are both punished. No cookies for you today." Mama says. + +Sara and Tom feel sorry. They hug each other. They say sorry to Mama. + +"Can we still play?" Tom asks. + +"Yes, but be nice. And be careful. There are more minerals in the garden. But they are not toys. They are open. They can hurt you. Look, but do not touch." Mama says. + +Sara and Tom nod. They go to play. They see more shiny rocks. But they do not touch them. They find other things to play with. They have fun. They are happy. They are twins. +Tim and Sue are playing in the garden. They have a big bucket of water and a tap. They like to fill the bucket and splash each other. They laugh and have fun. + +But then, Tim has an idea. He says to Sue, "Let's play a trick on Mom. Let's vanish with the bucket and hide behind the tree. When Mom comes to look for us, we will splash her with water. It will be funny." + +Sue thinks it is a good idea. She nods and smiles. They take the bucket and run behind the tree. They wait for Mom to come. + +Mom is in the kitchen. She hears the tap running. She wonders why. She goes to the garden. She sees the tap, but she does not see Tim and Sue. She calls their names. "Tim! Sue! Where are you?" + +Tim and Sue hear Mom. They get ready to splash her. They hold the bucket and peek from behind the tree. They see Mom coming closer. They count to three. "One, two, three!" + +They jump out and splash Mom with water. Mom is wet and surprised. She gasps and laughs. Tim and Sue laugh too. They say, "We vanished, Mom! We played a trick on you!" + +Mom hugs them and says, "You are very clever and funny, Tim and Sue. But you are also very wet. Let's go inside and change. And turn off the tap, please. We don't want to waste water." + +Tim and Sue say, "Okay, Mom. We love you. You are a good Mom." + +They turn off the tap and go inside with Mom. They are happy and proud of their trick. They think it is the best game ever. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and run after it. They did not see the sun going down and the sky getting dark. They did not hear their mom calling them from the car. + +"Tom, Lily, hurry up! It's evening and we have to go home!" mom shouted. + +But Tom and Lily did not listen. They wanted to play more. They kicked the ball harder and harder. They were careless and did not look where they were going. + +The ball flew over the fence and landed in the street. Tom and Lily ran after it. They did not see the big truck coming fast. They did not hear the horn beeping loud. + +"Tom, Lily, stop! There's a truck!" mom screamed. + +But it was too late. The truck hit the ball and made a loud bang. The ball popped and flew in the air. Tom and Lily stopped and looked. They were scared and sad. They had lost their ball. + +"Tom, Lily, come here! Are you okay?" mom asked. + +Tom and Lily ran to mom and hugged her. They were sorry and ashamed. They had been bad and did not listen. + +"Mom, we're sorry. We were careless. We did not hurry. We did not see the truck. We did not hear you. We lost our ball." they said. + +Mom was angry and worried. She was glad they were not hurt. She hugged them and kissed them. + +"Tom, Lily, I'm glad you're okay. But you have to be careful and listen. It's dangerous to play in the street. It's dark and cold in the evening. You have to hurry when I call you. You have to look and hear. You have to be good." she said. + +Tom and Lily nodded and said they understood. They got in the car and went home. They did not have their ball anymore. But they had learned their lesson. They would not be careless again. They would hurry when mom called them. They would be good. +Tom was a chubby boy who liked to eat a lot of cake. He ate cake for breakfast, lunch and dinner. He did not like to move or play with his toys. He just sat on the sofa and watched TV. + +One day, his mom said, "Tom, you need to move more. Moving is good for your body and your brain. Your brain is the part of you that thinks and learns. If you don't move, your brain will get lazy and forget things." + +Tom did not want to move. He said, "No, mom, I like cake and TV. Moving is hard and boring. I don't care about my brain." + +His mom was sad and worried. She said, "Tom, please listen to me. I love you and I want you to be healthy and happy. Moving can be fun and easy. You can play with your ball, or your bike, or your dog. You can go to the park, or the zoo, or the beach. You can make new friends and see new things. Moving will make your brain happy and smart. You will learn new words and new skills. You will have more fun than cake and TV." + +Tom thought about what his mom said. He looked at his ball, his bike, and his dog. He looked at the cake and the TV. He felt his brain. He felt a little curious and a little excited. He said, "OK, mom, I will try to move more. Can we go to the zoo today?" + +His mom smiled and hugged him. She said, "Yes, Tom, we can go to the zoo today. I'm proud of you for trying something new. You are a good boy and I love you very much." + +They got ready and went to the zoo. Tom saw many animals and learned their names. He moved a lot and had a lot of fun. He felt his brain. He felt happy and smart. He said, "Mom, moving is fun and good. Thank you for taking me to the zoo. I love you too." +Ben and Lily liked to look at the stars at night. They had a big book with pictures of stars and planets and other things in the sky. They learned many new words from the book, like comet and moon and galaxy. + +One night, they saw a bright light in the sky. It was a comet, they knew, because it had a long tail of fire. They were very excited and ran to get their book. They wanted to find out more about the comet and what it was made of. + +But when they opened the book, they saw that it was torn in half. Someone had split the book and ripped the pages. They were very sad and angry. Who did this to their book? They asked their mom and dad, but they did not know. They asked their dog, but he only wagged his tail. They asked their cat, but she only meowed. + +They decided to look for clues. They followed the trail of paper bits and found them in their brother's room. He was playing with his toys and did not notice them. They saw their book on his bed, with the other half missing. They asked him why he split their book. He said he was bored and wanted to make paper planes. He did not care about the comet or the stars. + +Ben and Lily were very mad at their brother. They told him he was mean and selfish. They took their book and tried to fix it with tape. They said they would not share their book with him anymore. He said he did not care and went back to his toys. + +But that night, when the comet was shining in the sky, he felt a little sorry. He wished he could see the comet and learn more about it. He wished he had not split their book. He wished he had been nicer to Ben and Lily. He decided to say sorry to them and ask if he could look at the book with them. He hoped they would forgive him and let him join them. He hoped they could all enjoy the comet together. +Sam and Mia liked to play in the park. They liked to slide, swing, and run. But their favorite thing was the tunnel. The tunnel was big and dark and fun. + +One day, they found a ball in the tunnel. It was red and bouncy and shiny. Sam and Mia wanted to play with the ball. They took turns to throw and catch it. + +But then, Sam threw the ball too hard. It went up, up, up, and then drop. The ball dropped out of the tunnel and rolled away. Sam and Mia ran after it. + +They saw a big, hairy dog. The dog saw the ball. The dog ran to the ball and picked it up with his mouth. He wagged his tail and looked at Sam and Mia. + +Sam and Mia were scared. They did not want to lose their ball. They did not want to make the dog angry. They stopped and looked at the dog. + +The dog was not angry. He was friendly. He came to Sam and Mia and dropped the ball at their feet. He licked their faces and barked. He wanted to play with them. + +Sam and Mia smiled. They were not scared anymore. They liked the dog. They threw the ball and the dog fetched it. They played with the dog and the ball until it was time to go home. They said bye to the dog and thanked him for the ball. They went back to the tunnel and left the ball there for the next time. They had a lot of fun. +Tom is a big dog. He likes to run and play in the park. He has a friend, Sam, who is a small cat. Sam likes to nap and purr in the sun. They are very different, but they are good friends. + +One day, Tom and Sam go to the park. They see a new thing. It is a ball. It is orange and round and bouncy. Tom and Sam want to play with it. Tom says, "I will teach you how to play with the ball. It is fun. You have to chase it and catch it and roll it." Sam says, "OK, show me how." + +Tom runs to the ball. He jumps and bites it. He shakes it and tosses it. He rolls it and chases it again. He barks and wags his tail. He is happy. He says, "See, Sam? This is how you play with the ball. Now you try." + +Sam walks to the ball. He sniffs it and paws it. He does not like it. It is too big and hard and noisy. He says, "No, Tom. I do not want to play with the ball. It is not fun. It is boring. I want to nap and purr." + +Tom is sad. He says, "But, Sam, this is the best thing ever. How can you not like it? You are my friend. You should like what I like." Sam says, "No, Tom. I am your friend, but I am not you. I like different things. You should let me be me." + +Tom is angry. He says, "Fine, Sam. If you do not want to play with me, then go away. I do not need you. I have the ball. The ball is my friend now." Sam says, "OK, Tom. If you say so. Goodbye." He turns and walks away. + +Tom is alone. He plays with the ball. He does not see the flea. The flea is small and black and hungry. It jumps on Tom. It bites him. It makes him itch. Tom scratches and scratches. He cannot stop. He drops the ball. He cries and howls. He is not happy. He misses Sam. He says, "Sam, come back. I am sorry. I need you. You are my friend." But Sam is gone. And the ball does not care. +Ben and Mia liked to play on the beach. They liked to make sand castles and look for shells. One day, they saw a dolphin in the water. The dolphin was not happy. It was hurt and could not swim well. + +"Look, Ben, a dolphin!" Mia said. "It needs help. Let's go and see." + +Ben and Mia ran to the water. They were careful not to scare the dolphin. They saw a big cut on its tail. The cut was bleeding. The dolphin made a sad sound. + +"Don't worry, dolphin, we are here to help you," Ben said. He took off his shirt and wrapped it around the cut. Mia ran to get some water and poured it over the dolphin's skin. The dolphin made a happy sound. + +"Ben, Mia, what are you doing?" their mom asked. She came to the beach and saw the dolphin. She was surprised and proud of her children. + +"Mom, we found a dolphin. It was hurt, but we are helping it. We want to restore it to health," Ben said. + +"That's very thoughtful of you, Ben and Mia. You are very kind and brave. But we need to call someone who knows how to take care of dolphins. They can take it to a safe place and heal it," their mom said. + +She took out her phone and called the animal rescue center. Soon, a big truck came with some people and a big tank. They thanked Ben and Mia for their help and gently lifted the dolphin into the tank. The dolphin waved its tail and made a happy sound. + +"Bye, dolphin, we hope you get better soon," Ben and Mia said. + +They watched the truck drive away. They felt happy and proud.

She said, "Mom, I want to watch my cartoon. But the TV is showing something else. And I can't find the remote. Where is it?" + +Her mom smiled and hugged her. She said, "I'm sorry, Sara. I moved the remote last night. I wanted to be organized and put it in a drawer. I forgot to tell you. But don't worry, I know where it is. Come, I'll show you." + +She took Sara by the hand and led her to the kitchen. She opened a drawer and took out the remote. She said, "Here it is. Now you can watch your cartoon. But first, let's have some breakfast. You must be hungry." + +Sara felt happy and relieved. She thanked her mom and took the remote. She ran back to the living room and turned on her favorite cartoon. She saw the dog and the cat on the screen. They were having fun and making jokes. Sara laughed and enjoyed the show. She thought, "This is the best Saturday morning ever." +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play outside. One day, they see a big balloon in the sky. The balloon is colorful. It has red, blue, yellow and green. + +"Wow, look at the balloon!" Anna says. "It is so pretty!" + +"I want the balloon!" Ben says. "I want to bring it home!" + +"But how can we get the balloon?" Anna asks. "It is too high in the sky!" + +Ben has an idea. He runs to the shed and gets a long rope. He ties one end of the rope to a rock. He throws the other end of the rope at the balloon. + +"Got it!" Ben shouts. He pulls the rope hard. The balloon comes closer and closer. + +But Anna is not happy. She thinks Ben is being greedy. She does not want him to take the balloon. + +"Stop, Ben!" Anna says. "You cannot bring the balloon home! It is not yours! It belongs to the sky!" + +"No, it is mine!" Ben says. "I caught it! I want to keep it!" + +They start to fight. They tug and pull the rope. The balloon swings and bounces in the air. + +Suddenly, the rope breaks. The balloon flies away. It goes higher and higher in the sky. Anna and Ben watch it go. They feel sad and sorry. + +They look at each other. They say sorry. They hug and make up. + +They decide to share the balloon. They imagine that the balloon is still in the sky. They point at it and say what color it is. They smile and laugh. They are friends again. +Lily liked to admire the stars at night. She would look up at the sky and see many bright objects that sparkled and shone. She wondered what they were and how they got there. She wanted to touch them and play with them. + +One night, she saw a very bright object that moved across the sky. It was not like the other stars. It was bigger and faster and had a long tail. Lily was amazed and excited. She pointed at it and said, "Look, look, a star is flying!" + +Her mom came to see what she was talking about. She smiled and hugged Lily. She said, "That is not a star, my dear. That is a comet. A comet is a big ball of ice and dust that travels around the sun. Sometimes we can see it when it comes close to the earth. It is very rare and special." + +Lily nodded and said, "A comet. I like it. It is pretty and fun. Can we keep it?" + +Her mom laughed and said, "No, we can't keep it. It will go away soon and we may not see it again for a long time. But we can admire it while it is here and remember it in our hearts." + +Lily agreed and said, "Okay, mom. I will admire it and remember it. I love you and I love the comet." + +They hugged and watched the comet until it faded away. Lily felt happy and sleepy. She went to bed and dreamed of bright objects in the sky. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They know how to share and have fun. One day, they see a big ball on the grass.

They pass the ball to each other. They are good at passing. + +But then, a big dog comes. It is brown and furry. It sees the ball and wants to play too. It runs to the ball and grabs it with its mouth. It shakes it and growls. It is not mild. It is mean. + +Lily and Ben are scared. They do not want to play with the dog. They want their ball back. They shout and cry. They do not know what to do. + +Then, a man comes. He is the dog's owner. He sees Lily and Ben and hears them. He is sorry. He calls the dog and takes the ball from it. He gives the ball to Lily and Ben. He says he is sorry. He says the dog is friendly but playful. He says he will keep the dog on a leash. + +Lily and Ben are glad. They thank the man and hug their ball. They are not scared anymore. They are happy. They go back to play. They pass the ball to each other. They are good at passing. They are friends. +Lila and Ben were playing with their cars on the grass. They liked to make noises and pretend they were racing. Lila had a red car and Ben had a blue car. They were having fun. + +But then they saw a big cliff near the grass. It was very high and steep. They wondered what was on the other side. They wanted to see. + +"Let's go to the cliff!" Lila said. + +"OK!" Ben said. + +They took their cars and ran to the cliff. They looked over the edge. They saw rocks and water and birds. It was pretty. + +But then they heard a loud noise. It was their mom. She was angry. + +"Lila! Ben! Come back here right now!" she shouted. "The cliff is dangerous! You could fall and get hurt!" + +Lila and Ben were scared. They dropped their cars and ran back to their mom. They hugged her and said sorry. + +"Mom, we just wanted to see the cliff," Lila said. + +"We didn't know it was bad," Ben said. + +Mom sighed. She was glad they were safe. She picked up their cars and gave them back. + +"I know you were curious, but you have to be careful," she said. "The cliff is very high and heavy. It could break and fall. You have to stay away from it. Do you understand?" + +Lila and Ben nodded. They understood. They said sorry again. + +Mom smiled. She kissed them and said, "It's OK. I love you. Now let's go home and have some snacks. And please, shut the door when you leave." +Anna loved to sing and dance. She wanted to perform for her family and friends. She asked her mom to help her make a dress and a hat. She used a red cloth and some shiny buttons. She looked very attractive in her dress and hat. + +She also asked her dad to help her find a bell. She wanted to use the bell as a musical instrument. She found a small silver bell in the garage. It made a nice sound when she shook it. She thanked her dad and hugged him. + +She invited her family and friends to the living room. She put on some music and said, "I am going to perform for you. Please clap and cheer for me."

We are very proud of you." + +Anna felt happy and proud. She bowed and said, "Thank you for watching me. I love you all." She gave her mom and dad a kiss and hugged her friends.

She said, "That is not nice, Sam. You should share your toys with your friends. I will tell your mom." + +Sam did not care. He said, "I do not care. This is my guitar. I demand to play with it alone. You go away." + +Lily ran to Sam's mom and told her what Sam said. Sam's mom was not happy. She came to Sam and said, "Sam, you are being very rude and selfish. You should not demand things from your friends. You should share your toys and be kind. Lily is your friend and she wants to play with you. How would you feel if she did not let you play with her toys?" + +Sam felt ashamed and sorry. He realized he was wrong. He said, "I am sorry, mom. I am sorry, Lily. You are right. I should share my guitar and be nice. Do you want to play with me and my guitar?" + +Lily smiled and said, "Yes, I do. Thank you, Sam. You are a good friend and a good musician." + +Sam and Lily played with the guitar and sang songs together. They had fun and learned to share. Sam's mom was proud of them. She gave them cookies and juice as a treat. They said, "Thank you, mom. You are the best." +Sam and Mia like to play with water. They have a big tub in the backyard. They fill it with water from the hose. They put their toys in the tub. They splash and laugh. + +"Look, Mia, I soak the duck!" Sam says. He holds the yellow duck under the water. Then he lets it go.

It sparkles. Mia holds the turtle. It glows. + +"They are so pretty!" Mia says. They smile and hug their toys. They love to play with water. They are happy. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play games. One day, they play a game with cards. The cards have pictures of animals. Lily and Ben take turns to pick a card and say the name of the animal. If they say it right, they keep the card. If they say it wrong, they put the card back. + +Lily is good at the game. She knows many animals. She has a lot of cards. Ben is not so good at the game. He does not know many animals. He has a few cards. He feels sad. + +Lily sees that Ben is sad. She wants to make him happy. She has an idea. She says to Ben, "Ben, do you want to share my cards? We can have the same number of cards. Then we can both win the prize." + +Ben looks at Lily. He is surprised. He says, "Lily, are you sure? You have more cards than me. You can win the prize by yourself. The prize is a big teddy bear. Don't you want the teddy bear?" + +Lily smiles. She says, "Ben, I don't need the teddy bear. I have many toys at home.

Lily said yes and they played together for a while. But then, her brother accidentally knocked over the cardboard house and it fell apart. + +Lily was upset, but her brother said, "Don't worry, Lily. I'll help you build it again. You can trust me." Lily felt calm and happy again, knowing that her brother would help her. Together, they built an even better cardboard house than before. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily who loved to play in the park. One day, she found a shiny rock and picked it up. Suddenly, a voice said, "Be careful! That rock is very slippery." It was a kind old man who warned her. + +Lily was upset because she almost fell down. She thanked the old man and they started to talk. He told her about his adventures when he was young and how he found many rocks like the one she was holding. Lily was fascinated and asked if he could show her more rocks. + +The old man smiled and said, "Of course! Let's go on an adventure together." They spent the whole day searching for rocks and talking about their lives. Lily was so happy that she found a new friend and many beautiful rocks. From that day on, they went on many adventures together and became the best of friends. +Sara and Ben were playing with blocks. They liked to build towers and houses and bridges. Sara had a big red block that she wanted to use for the roof of her house. She put it on top of the other blocks very carefully. She did not want her house to fall down. + +Ben saw the red block and wanted it for his bridge. He reached out his hand and grabbed it. He pulled it away from Sara's house. Sara's house wobbled and crashed. The blocks made a loud noise. Sara was very sad and angry. She frowned at Ben. + +"Ben, that was my block! You made my house fall down! Give it back!" Sara shouted. + +"No, it is my block now! I need it for my bridge! Go away!" Ben shouted back. + +He ran away with the red block. He did not see the zigzag on the floor. It was a crack in the tile. He tripped over it and fell down. The red block flew out of his hand and hit the wall. It broke into many pieces. The red block was fragile. Ben was very surprised and hurt. He cried. + +Sara heard Ben cry. She ran to him and saw the broken block. She felt sorry for him. She forgot her anger. She hugged him and said, "It's okay, Ben. I'm sorry you fell down. The block was not very strong. We can find another one." + +Ben hugged her back and said, "I'm sorry, Sara. I was mean to you. The block was your roof. We can share the blocks." + +They smiled at each other and went back to their blocks. They decided to build something together. They were happy. +Tommy was very excite for his birthday. He had a big calendar on his wall and he marked each day with a sticker. He wanted to have a party with his friends and eat cake and play games. He asked his mom and dad every day how many days were left. + +One day, he woke up and saw that his calendar had only one sticker left. It was his birthday! He jumped out of bed and ran to his mom and dad's room. He hugged them and said, "It's my birthday! It's my birthday!" They smiled and said, "Happy birthday, Tommy! We have a surprise for you!" + +They took him to the kitchen and showed him a big box with a bow. Tommy opened it and saw a shiny red bike. He was so happy. He thanked his mom and dad and put on his helmet. He wanted to ride his bike outside right away. + +But when he went outside, he saw that it was very cold and gray. There was snow on the ground and the wind was bitter. He felt sad. He could not ride his bike in the snow. He went back inside and said, "I can't ride my bike. It's too cold and snowy." + +His mom and dad hugged him and said, "Don't worry, Tommy. We have another surprise for you. We invited your friends to come over and have a party with you. They will be here soon. You can play games and eat cake and have fun. And when the snow melts, you can ride your bike all you want." + +Tommy felt better. He smiled and said, "Thank you, mom and dad. You are the best. I love you." He waited for his friends to come and he was excite again. He knew that his birthday was going to be a great day. +Ben and Lily were two squirrels who lived in a big tree. They liked to play and find acorns in the forest. One day, they saw a shiny acorn on the ground. It was bigger and brighter than any acorn they had ever seen. + +"Wow, look at that acorn!" Ben said. "It must be very yummy and special. Let's go get it!" + +Lily nodded and they ran towards the acorn. But when they got closer, they saw a big snake next to it. The snake was guarding the acorn and hissing at them. + +"Go away, this is my acorn!" the snake said. "I found it first and it is very precious. If you try to take it, I will bite you!" + +Ben and Lily were scared of the snake. They wanted the shiny acorn, but they did not want to get hurt. They looked at each other and wondered what to do. + +Then they heard a voice from the tree. It was their friend, Sam, another squirrel. He had seen everything from his branch. + +"Ben, Lily, don't be silly!" Sam said. "That acorn is not worth it. It is not a real acorn, it is a fake one. The snake made it from metal and painted it to look like an acorn. He wants to trick you and eat you. Come back to the tree, I have some real acorns for you. They are not shiny, but they are tasty and healthy." + +Ben and Lily realized that Sam was right. They had been fooled by the snake and his shiny acorn. They felt ashamed and sorry for being greedy. They ran back to the tree and thanked Sam for his help and his acorns. + +They learned a lesson that day. They learned that not everything that shines is good, and that sometimes the simple things are the best. They also learned to be careful of strangers and to listen to their friends. They felt comfortable and happy in their tree, with their real acorns and their real friends. +Sara and Tom were twins who liked to play with their toys. But they did not like to organize their toys after they played. They left them all over the floor, and their mom was not happy. + +One day, mom said, "Sara and Tom, you have to organize your toys today. It is going to be very cold tonight, and we need to close the windows. If you leave your toys on the floor, they might get lost or broken." + +Sara and Tom did not listen to mom. They said, "We don't want to organize our toys. We want to play more. It is not cold yet. We can do it later." + +Mom said, "Okay, but you have to do it before dinner. Or else, you will not get any dessert." + +Sara and Tom nodded, but they forgot about mom's words. They played and played until it was dark. Then they heard mom calling them for dinner. + +They ran to the kitchen, leaving their toys on the floor. They ate their dinner and asked for dessert. But mom said, "No dessert for you. You did not organize your toys. Go to your room and do it now." + +Sara and Tom felt sad and sorry. They went to their room and saw their toys on the floor. They also felt the cold air coming from the windows. They wished they had listened to mom. + +They started to organize their toys, putting them in boxes and baskets. They found some toys that they had not seen for a long time. They also found some toys that were broken or missing parts. They felt bad for not taking care of their toys. + +They finished organizing their toys and closed the windows. They said, "Mom, we are sorry. We organized our toys. Can we have some dessert now?" + +Mom came to their room and saw their toys. She smiled and said, "I'm proud of you. You did a good job. Yes, you can have some dessert. But next time, please organize your toys right after you play. It will make your room nicer and your toys happier." + +Sara and Tom hugged mom and said, "Thank you, mom. We love you. We will organize our toys every day." + +They went to the kitchen and had some dessert. They felt warm and happy. They learned their lesson. +Lisa likes to set the table for dinner. She has a style that makes the table look attractive. She puts a cloth on the table, and then plates, cups, forks and spoons. She also adds some flowers and candles for decoration. + +One day, Lisa's friend Amy comes to visit. Amy sees the table and says, "Wow, Lisa, your table is so pretty! You have a good style. Can I help you set the table?" + +Lisa smiles and says, "Yes, Amy, you can help me. Thank you for being my friend. You can put the napkins on the plates.

We like to set the table. We like to be friends." +Lily likes to run fast. She runs in the park with her dog, Max. One day, she sees a big sign. It says: "Race for kids. Win a medal." Lily wants to win a medal. She asks her mom if she can join the race. + +Mom says yes. She takes Lily and Max to the race. There are many kids and dogs there. Lily sees a boy with a red hat. He has a big dog, too. His name is Ben. He says: "Hi, I'm Ben. This is Rex. We are going to win the race. We are very fast." + +Lily says: "Hi, I'm Lily. This is Max. We are fast, too. We are going to win the medal. We are very clever." Ben and Lily smile. They are not angry. They are friendly. They like to meet new friends. + +The race starts. Lily and Max run with Ben and Rex. They run and run and run. They are very fast and clever. They pass many kids and dogs. They are almost at the finish line. Who will win the medal? + +Lily and Max run a little bit faster.

Lily and Ben smile. They have a new friend. They have a medal. They have fun. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big toilet in the park. It is white and shiny. It has a sign that says "Magic Toilet". + +"Wow, look at that!" Anna says. "What is a magic toilet?" + +"I don't know," Ben says. "Maybe it can do something cool. Let's go and see." + +They run to the toilet. They open the door. Inside, they see a lot of colorful lights and buttons. They hear a voice that says "Welcome to the Magic Toilet. Please sit down and enjoy the ride." + +Anna and Ben are curious. They think the toilet is attractive. They sit down on the seat. They press a button. The door closes. The toilet starts to shake and make noises. + +"Wow, this is fun!" Anna says. "Where are we going?" + +"I don't know," Ben says. "Maybe to a magic place." + +But they are wrong. The toilet is not magic. It is a trap. It is a bad toilet. It wants to flush them away. The voice says "Goodbye, children. You are going to the sewer. Ha ha ha!" + +Anna and Ben are scared. They scream and cry. They try to open the door. But it is locked. They cannot get out. The toilet flushes them away. They are gone. The end. +Ben and Lily were playing with their toy cars in the garden. They had a big box of cars of different colors and sizes. They liked to make them zoom and crash and race on the grass. + +"Look at my car, Lily!" Ben said, holding up a red car with a shiny wheel. "It is the fastest and the best!" + +"No, Ben, my car is the best!" Lily said, holding up a blue car with a big wheel. "It is the strongest and the mightiest!" + +They disagreed about whose car was the best. They decided to have a race to see who was right. They lined up their cars at the start line and counted to three. + +"Ready, set, go!" they shouted and pushed their cars forward. + +The red car and the blue car zoomed across the grass. They were very close to each other. They reached the finish line at the same time. + +"It's a tie!" Ben said. + +"No, it's not!" Lily said. "My car won by a little bit!" + +They disagreed again. They looked at their cars and saw that they both had a scratch on their wheels. + +"Oh no, our cars are hurt!" Ben said. + +"That's okay, Ben," Lily said. "They are still the best cars. And we are still friends." + +They smiled and hugged each other. They put their cars back in the box and went to find another game to play. They agreed that playing was more fun than disagreeing. +Tom and Lily went to the store with Mom. They wanted to buy a new toy. Mom said they could each pick one, but not too expensive. + +Tom saw a big truck with wheels and lights. He liked trucks very much. He took the truck and looked at the price. It was ten dollars. He thought that was too much. He put the truck back. + +Lily saw a doll with a dress and hair. She liked dolls very much. She took the doll and looked at the price. It was five dollars. She thought that was okay. She held the doll. + +They walked to the cashier. The cashier was a man with a beard and glasses. He smiled and said hello. Tom and Lily did not recognize him. They felt scared. They hid behind Mom. + +Mom paid for the doll and said thank you. She told Tom and Lily not to be scared. The cashier was a nice man. He gave them a sticker and a candy. Tom and Lily smiled and said thank you. They were not scared anymore. They liked the sticker and the candy. They were happy with their new toy. +Ben and Lily wanted to play ball in the park. They took their ball and ran to the big field. They saw a lot of grass and trees and flowers. They were happy. + +They threw the ball to each other and ran and laughed. They had fun. But then they saw a big dog. The dog was black and brown and had a loud bark. The dog wanted the ball too. He ran after the ball and caught it in his mouth. He ran away with the ball. + +"Hey, that's our ball!" Ben shouted. He ran after the dog. Lily followed him. They tried to get the ball back. But the dog was fast and strong. He did not want to give the ball. He growled and showed his teeth. + +"Ben, be careful!" Lily said. She was scared of the dog. She did not want Ben to get hurt. She wanted to rest. She was tired of running. + +"Come on, Lily, we can get the ball!" Ben said. He was brave and silly. He did not think the dog was scary. He thought the dog was playing. He wanted to play more. + +He found a stick and threw it to the dog. He hoped the dog would drop the ball and chase the stick. But the dog did not. He kept the ball and the stick in his mouth. He was greedy and smart. He ran to a pitch. He wanted to rest there. + +Ben and Lily followed him to the pitch. They saw a lot of people and cars and tents. They saw a sign that said "Dog Show". They realized the dog was not a stray. He had an owner. He was a show dog. + +They saw a man with a whistle and a ribbon. He was the judge of the show. He saw the dog with the ball and the stick. He was angry. He blew the whistle and shouted at the dog. + +"Bad dog! Drop that ball and that stick! You are ruining the show! Come here now!" He said. + +The dog heard the whistle and the shout. He was scared. He dropped the ball and the stick. He ran to the judge. He wagged his tail and licked his face. He wanted to say sorry. + +Ben and Lily saw the ball and the stick on the ground. They ran to get them. They were happy. They had their ball back. They did not want the stick. They gave it to the judge. + +"Sorry, mister, the dog took our ball. We did not mean to bother you." Ben said. + +The judge looked at Ben and Lily. He saw they were kids. He saw they were polite. He was not angry anymore. He was kind. + +"That's okay, kids. The dog was naughty. He likes to play too much. He is a silly dog. But he is a good dog. Do you want to pet him?" He said. + +Ben and Lily nodded. They liked dogs. They wanted to pet the dog. They went to the dog. The dog was happy. He liked kids. He wanted to be petted. He licked their hands and faces. He was a friendly dog. + +Ben and Lily petted the dog. They smiled. They had a new friend. They did not want to play ball anymore. They wanted to rest with the dog. They sat on the grass and cuddled the dog. They were happy. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play together. But sometimes they would disagree about what to play. One day, they found a big box in the garage. Ben wanted to make a spaceship out of the box. Lily wanted to make a castle out of the box. + +"I want to be an astronaut and fly to the moon," Ben said. + +"I want to be a princess and live in a castle," Lily said. + +They both pulled the box and tried to take it away from each other. They made a lot of noise and started to cry. + +Their mom heard them and came to the garage. She saw the box and the twins. + +"What is going on here?" she asked. + +"Mom, Ben wants to make a spaceship, but I want to make a castle," Lily said. + +"Mom, Lily wants to make a castle, but I want to make a spaceship," Ben said. + +Their mom smiled and said, "Why don't you both make what you want? You can cut the box in half and share it. Then you can play together and visit each other's places." + +Ben and Lily liked the idea. They stopped crying and said sorry to each other. They got some scissors, tape, and crayons and started to cut and decorate the box. + +While they were busy, their dog, Max, came to the garage. He was a nosy dog who liked to sniff and chew everything. He saw the box and thought it was a toy. He jumped on the box and tore it apart. He made a big mess and ruined the twins' work. + +Ben and Lily saw what Max did and shouted, "Max, no!" + +Max wagged his tail and licked their faces. He did not know he did something bad. He just wanted to play. + +Their mom heard them again and came back to the garage. She saw the box and the dog. + +"Oh, no, what happened here?" she asked. + +"Mom, Max destroyed our box," Ben said. + +"Mom, Max ruined our spaceship and our castle," Lily said. + +Their mom sighed and said, "I'm sorry, kids. Max did not mean to hurt your feelings. He is a good dog, but he is also a nosy dog. He needs to learn to respect your things. Come on, let's go inside and have some cookies. Maybe we can find another box later." + +Ben and Lily nodded and followed their mom. They were sad, but they still loved Max. They hoped he would learn to be a better dog. They also hoped they would find another box soon. They still had a lot of will to play and create. +Anna and Ben were playing in the garden. They had a big box that they pretended was a spaceship. They put on their helmets and sat inside the box. They made noises like rockets and stars. + +"Ready for blast off?" Ben asked. + +"Yes!" Anna said. "Let's go to the moon!" + +They counted down from ten and then lifted the box. They ran around the garden, holding the box over their heads. They laughed and shouted. + +But then they saw their mom coming out of the house. She looked angry. She had a basket of clothes in her hands. + +"Anna! Ben! What are you doing?" she said. "You are supposed to help me with the laundry. Come here right now!" + +Anna and Ben stopped running. They looked at each other. They did not want to help with the laundry. They wanted to play with their spaceship. + +"Quick, let's escape!" Ben whispered. + +He dropped the box and ran to the fence. He climbed over it and disappeared. Anna followed him. She threw her helmet over the fence and climbed after him. + +They ran to the park. They found a big slide and slid down it. They felt free and happy. + +They did not see their mom coming after them. She was not angry anymore. She was thoughtful. She remembered how much she liked to play when she was a child. She smiled and decided to join them. She put on Anna's helmet and sat on the slide. She said: + +"Hello, astronauts. Can I come to the moon with you?" +Lila liked to go to the zoo with her mom. She liked to see the animals and learn their names. Her favorite animal was the seal. The seal was big and gray and had a funny nose. It could swim and jump and clap its hands. + +One day, Lila saw a man with a cart near the seal pool. He had many things on his cart. He had hats and books and toys. He was selling them to the people who came to see the animals. Lila wanted to buy something from him. She asked her mom for some money. + +Lila looked at the cart and saw a toy seal. It was soft and fuzzy and had a red bow. It looked like the real seal, but smaller. Lila thought it was very interesting. She gave the man some money and took the toy seal. She hugged it and smiled. + +She went back to the seal pool with her mom and her toy seal. She showed it to the real seal. The real seal looked at the toy seal and made a loud noise. It sounded like it was saying hello. Lila waved at the real seal and said hello back. She was very happy. She had a new friend. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. Lily had a laser that made red lights and sounds. Ben had a normal car that he could push and roll. Lily liked her laser a lot, but she also wanted to play with Ben's car. + +"Can I have your car, Ben?" Lily asked. + +"No, it's mine. You have your laser," Ben said. + +"Please, Ben. Just for a little bit," Lily begged. + +"No, no, no. Go away, Lily," Ben said. He pushed her with his hand. + +Lily felt sad and angry. She wanted to make Ben sorry for being mean. She had an idea. She pointed her laser at Ben's car and pressed the button. The laser made a loud noise and a red light flashed on the car. + +"Hey, stop that! You're breaking my car!" Ben shouted. + +Lily laughed. She teased Ben with her laser. She moved it up and down, left and right, making the car light up and beep. + +"Ha ha, Ben. Your car is a laser car now. It's not normal anymore," Lily said. + +Ben was scared and mad. He grabbed his car and ran to his mom. He told her what Lily did. Mom was not happy. She took the laser from Lily and scolded her. + +"Lily, that was not nice. You should not tease your brother with your laser. You could hurt him or his car. You have to say sorry to Ben and share your toys," Mom said. + +Lily felt bad. She knew she was wrong. She said sorry to Ben and gave him a hug. She let him play with her laser for a while. Ben forgave her and let her play with his car. They played nicely together and had fun. Mom smiled and gave them a snack. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, Lily's mom says, "Lily, you have a test tomorrow. You need to study your ABCs and 123s." + +Lily does not like tests. She says, "Mom, I know my ABCs and 123s. Can I play with Tom?" + +Mom says, "No, Lily. You need to study first. Then you can play with Tom. Tests are important. They help you learn new things." + +Lily is sad. She goes to her room and looks at her books. She does not want to study. She wants to play. + +She hears a knock on the window. She sees Tom outside. He has a big smile. He says, "Lily, come and play with me. I have a surprise for you. It is very sweet." + +Lily is curious. She says, "What is it, Tom?" + +Tom says, "You have to come and see. It is in my backpack. It is for you." + +Lily thinks for a moment. She likes surprises. She likes sweet things. She says, "OK, Tom. I will come and play with you. But only for a little while. Then I have to study for my test." + +Tom says, "OK, Lily. Hurry up. The surprise is waiting for you." + +Lily puts on her shoes and coat. She runs to the window. She opens it and climbs out. She follows Tom to his backyard. He opens his backpack and shows her the surprise. It is a big chocolate cake. It has icing and sprinkles. It says, "Good luck, Lily." + +Lily is happy. She says, "Wow, Tom. Thank you. This is the best surprise ever. You are a good friend." + +Tom says, "You are welcome, Lily. You are a good friend too. I know you will do well on your test. But first, let's eat some cake. It is very sweet." + +Lily and Tom share the cake. They laugh and talk. They have fun. They forget about the test for a while. They are happy. +Lily was a powerful girl. She could run fast, jump high, and lift heavy things. She liked to wear pink clothes and play with pink toys. She thought pink was the best color in the world. + +One day, she saw a boy crying in the park. He had a blue bike that was broken. The wheel was bent and the chain was off. Lily went to him and asked, "What is wrong?" + +The boy said, "My bike is broken and I can't fix it. I love my bike. It is blue, like the sky and the sea. Blue is the best color in the world." + +Lily said, "I can help you. I am powerful. I can fix your bike. But you have to do something for me." + +The boy said, "What do you want me to do?" + +Lily said, "You have to play with me and my pink toys. You have to wear pink clothes and say pink is the best color in the world." + +The boy said, "No, I don't want to do that. I don't like pink. Pink is a silly color. It is not for boys. It is for girls and flowers and candy." + +Lily said, "Then I won't help you. You are mean and rude. Go away and cry." + +The boy felt sad and angry. He wished he had a friend who would help him and not make fun of him. He wished he had a new bike that was not broken. + +Then he saw another girl walking by. She had a yellow dress and a yellow hat. She had a yellow bike that was shiny and new. She saw the boy and his broken bike and stopped. She said, "Hello, I am Mia. What is your name?" + +The boy said, "I am Sam. My bike is broken and I can't fix it." + +Mia said, "That is too bad. Do you want me to help you? I have some tools and some spare parts. I can fix your bike. It will be as good as new." + +Sam said, "Really? You would do that for me? Thank you. You are very kind and nice." + +Mia said, "You are welcome. I like to help people. It makes me happy. And I like your bike. It is blue, like the sky and the sea. Blue is a beautiful color. But so is yellow. And pink. And green. And red. And purple. And orange. And all the colors in the world. They are all special and wonderful. Don't you think?" + +Sam said, "Yes, I think so too. You are right. All the colors are special and wonderful. And so are you. Do you want to be my friend?" + +Mia said, "Yes, I want to be your friend. Do you want to play with me and my yellow bike?" + +Sam said, "Yes, I want to play with you and your yellow bike. And maybe later we can play with Lily and her pink toys. And maybe she will wear blue clothes and say blue is the best color in the world. And maybe we will all laugh and have fun." + +Mia said, "That sounds like a great idea. Let's go and fix your bike first. Then we can go and find Lily and say hello." + +Sam said, "OK, let's go. Thank you for helping me, Mia. You are a powerful girl. And a good friend." + +The moral of the story is: Be kind and helpful to others, and don't judge them by their colors. Colors are not important. Friendship is. +Lily liked to play with her dolls in the living room. She had a big dollhouse, a tea set, and many dresses for her dolls. She pretended that her dolls were her friends and they had parties and adventures together. + +One day, she saw a weird thing on the armchair. It was brown and furry and had a long tail. It looked like a big mouse, but it was not a mouse. It was a rat. Lily was scared of rats. She screamed and ran to her mom. + +Mom came and saw the rat on the armchair. She was not scared. She said, "Don't worry, Lily. It's just a toy rat. Your uncle gave it to you for your birthday. Do you remember?" + +Lily thought hard. She did remember. Her uncle was funny and liked to make jokes. He gave her the toy rat and said it was a new friend for her dolls. Lily did not like the toy rat. She thought it was ugly and scary. She hid it under the armchair and forgot about it. + +Mom picked up the toy rat and smiled. She said, "It's not a real rat, Lily. It's just a toy. You can play with it or give it to someone else. But don't leave it on the armchair. It might remind someone of a real rat and scare them." + +Lily nodded. She said, "Sorry, Mom. I don't want to play with it. Can I give it to uncle? Maybe he will like it." + +Mom said, "Sure, Lily. That's a good idea. Maybe he will find it funny. Or maybe he will get scared too." + +Lily giggled. She hoped her uncle would get scared. She thought that would be funny. She put the toy rat in a box and wrote "For Uncle" on it. She hoped he would open it soon. +Tom and Anna are twins. They like to play with their toys and books. But sometimes they fight over things. Today they want to sit on the same seat. It is a big seat with a soft cushion and a picture of a lion. + +"I want to sit on the seat!" Tom says. He tries to push Anna away. + +"No, I want to sit on the seat!" Anna says. She holds on to the cushion. + +They both pull and tug and shout. They do not listen to each other. They are ignorant. + +"Stop it, you two!" Mom says. She comes into the room. She sees the twins fighting over the seat. She is not happy. + +"Tom, Anna, you need to share the seat. It is big enough for both of you. Why don't you take turns?" Mom says. + +"But I want to sit on the seat now!" Tom says. He insists. + +"So do I!" Anna says. She insists too. + +Mom sighs. She has an idea. + +"Okay, how about this. You can both sit on the seat, but you have to read a book together. And you have to be quiet and nice. Do you agree?" Mom says. + +Tom and Anna look at each other. They like to read books. They nod. + +"Okay, Mom. We agree." They say. + +Mom smiles. She gives them a book about lions. They sit on the seat and read the book. They learn about lions and how they live. They forget to fight. They are happy. +Sara and Tom are playing in the park. They like to swing, slide and run. They are having fun. But they are also very hungry. They look at the sun. It is high in the sky. It is noon. + +"Mom, can we have lunch now?" Sara asks. + +"Yes, dear. Let's go to the picnic table. I have sandwiches and juice for you," Mom says. + +Sara and Tom follow Mom. They sit on the table and eat their lunch. They drink their juice. They are happy. + +But then they see a big bird. It is black and white. It has a long beak. It is a magpie. It is looking at their sandwiches. + +"Shoo, shoo, go away!" Mom says. She waves her hand at the bird. + +But the bird does not go away. It is brave. It is silly. It hops on the table. It blinks its eyes. It pecks at a sandwich. + +"Hey, that's mine!" Tom says. He tries to grab his sandwich. + +But the bird is faster. It flies away with the sandwich. It makes a loud noise. + +"Ha, ha, ha!" the bird laughs. + +Sara and Tom are sad. They have lost their sandwich. Mom is angry. She has lost her sandwich too. + +But then they hear another noise. It is a dog. It is brown and furry. It is friendly. It is chasing the bird. + +"Bark, bark, bark!" the dog barks. + +The bird is scared. It drops the sandwich. The dog catches it. It eats it. + +"Yum, yum, yum!" the dog says. + +Sara and Tom are surprised. They have found their sandwich. Mom is happy. She has found her sandwich too. + +They laugh. They thank the dog. They share their lunch with the dog. They are friends. + +The end. +Lisa and Tom are friends. They like to play together. One day, they go to the park with their moms. There is a big field with green grass and bright flowers. Lisa and Tom see some people doing yoga on the field. They look happy and calm. + +"Mom, what are they doing?" Lisa asks. + +"They are doing yoga, Lisa. Yoga is a way to stretch your body and relax your mind. Do you want to try?" Mom says. + +"Yes, please!" Lisa says. She runs to the field and joins the yoga group. She follows the teacher and does some poses. She feels good. + +Tom watches Lisa. He thinks yoga is silly. He does not want to try. He wants to play with his ball. He kicks his ball hard and it flies to the field. It hits Lisa on the head. Lisa falls down and cries. + +"Tom, what did you do?" Mom says. She runs to Lisa and helps her up. She is angry with Tom. + +"I'm sorry, Mom. I was just playing." Tom says. + +"Playing is good, Tom, but you have to be careful. You hurt Lisa and you disturbed the yoga group. You have to say sorry to them too." Mom says. + +Tom feels bad. He walks to the field and says sorry to Lisa and the yoga group. They forgive him and invite him to join them. Tom is shy, but he decides to try. He does some poses with Lisa. He feels good too. + +Lisa and Tom smile at each other. They learn a new thing. They remember to be kind and respectful to others. They have fun doing yoga. They are happy. +Tim and Lily were playing with their toy cars in the garden. They liked to make noises like motors and race them on the grass. Tim had a red car and Lily had a blue car. They were both gifted with cars. They knew how to make them go fast and turn and stop. + +But then Tim saw a big stick on the ground. He picked it up and said, "Look, Lily, I have a sword. I can strike you with it and you will fall down." He swung the stick at Lily and hit her car. Lily's car flew out of her hand and landed on a rock. It broke into pieces. + +Lily cried and said, "Tim, you are mean. You broke my car. It was my favorite car. I don't want to play with you anymore." She ran to the house and told their mom what Tim did. + +Mom came out and saw Tim holding the stick and Lily's broken car. She was angry and said, "Tim, you are in trouble. You should not strike Lily or her car with a stick. That is not nice. You hurt her and her car. You need to say sorry and give her your car." + +Tim felt bad and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I didn't mean to break your car. I was just playing. Here, you can have my car. It is red and fast and good." He gave Lily his car and hugged her. + +Lily stopped crying and said, "Thank you, Tim. I forgive you. You are a good brother. I like your car. It is red and fast and good. Can we share it and play together?" + +Tim and Lily smiled and said, "Yes, we can share it and play together." They took the red car and raced it on the grass. They made noises like motors and had fun. Mom watched them and was happy. She said, "You are both gifted with cars and with love." +Tim and Mia were playing hide and seek in the park. Tim was the seeker and Mia was the hider. Mia ran behind a big tree and waited for Tim to find her. She was very quiet and still, but she forgot to hide her foot. Her foot was sticking out from behind the tree. + +Tim looked around the park and saw Mia's foot. He smiled and tiptoed towards the tree. He was going to reveal Mia and win the game. He reached the tree and shouted, "I found you, Mia!" + +But when he looked behind the tree, he saw something else. It was not Mia, it was a big dog. The dog was black and furry and had a hard collar. The dog barked loudly and jumped at Tim. Tim was scared and ran away. + +Mia heard the bark and the scream. She came out from her hiding spot. She had hidden under a bench, not behind the tree. She saw Tim running and the dog chasing him. She felt sorry for Tim and called out, "Tim, come here, it's okay!" + +Tim heard Mia's voice and ran towards her. He reached the bench and hugged Mia. He was glad she was safe. The dog stopped and wagged its tail. It was not a mean dog, it was a friendly dog. It just wanted to play. + +Mia and Tim petted the dog and laughed. They were not afraid anymore. They decided to play with the dog instead of hide and seek. They had fun and made a new friend. +Tom was a boy who liked to play with his trumpet. He had a white trumpet that made loud noises when he blew into it. He liked to play his trumpet in his room, in the garden, and sometimes in the car. + +One day, Tom went to the park with his mom and his trumpet. He saw some other kids playing with a ball, a bike, and a doll. He wanted to play with them, but they did not want to play with him. They said his trumpet was too noisy and annoying. They told him to go away. + +Tom felt sad and angry. He did not understand why they did not like his trumpet. He loved his trumpet. He thought it was fun and beautiful. He decided to show them how good he was at playing his trumpet. He blew into his trumpet as hard as he could, making a loud and long sound. + +But then, something bad happened. His trumpet broke. The sound stopped. The white trumpet fell apart in his hands. Tom looked at his trumpet and saw that it was broken. He could not play it anymore. He felt a big pain in his chest. He started to cry. + +His mom heard him cry and ran to him. She saw his broken trumpet and his tears. She hugged him and said, "I'm sorry, Tom. Your trumpet is broken. I know you loved your trumpet. But don't cry, my sweet boy. We can get you a new trumpet. A better one. A bigger one. A shinier one. Would you like that?" + +Tom nodded and sniffed. He wiped his tears and smiled. He said, "Yes, mom. I would like that. Thank you, mom. I love you, mom." + +His mom kissed him and said, "I love you too, Tom. Now, let's go home and get you a new trumpet. And maybe some ice cream too. How does that sound?" + +Tom said, "That sounds great, mom. Let's go." He held his mom's hand and walked with her to the car. He felt happy again. He forgot about the other kids and their mean words. He only thought about his new trumpet and his ice cream. He hoped his new trumpet would be white too. He liked white trumpets. They were his favorite. +Tom and Sue were friends who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big house with a fence and a gate. They wanted to see what was inside. + +"Let's enter the house and look around," Tom said. "Maybe we can find some toys or candy." + +"But the house is not ours," Sue said. "It belongs to someone else. Maybe they are wealthy and do not like visitors." + +Tom did not listen to Sue. He opened the gate and ran to the house. Sue followed him, feeling scared. + +They entered the house and saw many things. There were shiny things, soft things, and colorful things. Tom and Sue touched everything they saw. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud noise. It was the wind. The wind blew the door shut and locked it. Tom and Sue tried to open it, but they could not. + +They heard footsteps and voices. It was the people who lived in the house. They were angry and surprised to see Tom and Sue. + +"Who are you and what are you doing here?" a man asked. "You are not welcome here. You are trespassers and thieves." + +Tom and Sue were very sorry and afraid. They wished they had not entered the house. They wished they had listened to Sue. They did not know what would happen to them. They cried and hoped someone would help them. But no one did. The end. +Lily was a good girl who liked to play with her dolls. She had a big doll that looked like a princess, with a pink dress and a crown. She called her doll Anna and pretended she was her best friend. + +One day, Lily's brother Tom came into her room. He was bored and wanted to play with Lily. But Lily did not want to play with Tom. She wanted to play with Anna. She told Tom to go away and leave her alone. + +Tom was angry and naughty. He did not listen to Lily. He grabbed Anna and ran away with her. He laughed and said, "I have your princess! I have your princess!" + +Lily was very sad and mad. She cried and chased Tom. She wanted her princess back. She shouted, "Give me Anna! Give me Anna!" + +Tom ran to the living room, where their mom was reading a book. He thought he was funny and clever. He threw Anna on the couch and said, "Look, mom, I have a princess!" + +But mom did not think Tom was funny or clever. She saw Lily crying and running after him. She saw Anna on the couch, with her dress torn and her crown broken. She was very upset and disappointed. She said, "Tom, you are a bad boy! You disturbed your sister and ruined her doll! You have to say sorry and fix Anna!" + +Tom felt ashamed and sorry. He realized he was wrong and mean. He said, "Sorry, Lily. Sorry, mom. I will fix Anna." + +Lily forgave Tom and hugged him. She said, "Thank you, Tom. I love you." + +Mom smiled and hugged them both. She said, "I love you too. Now, let's go and fix Anna. And then, maybe you can play together nicely." +One day, Lily and Tom were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a huge box of blocks, dolls, cars, and animals. They liked to make different scenes and stories with their toys. + +"Look, Lily, I made a zoo with the animals!" Tom said, showing his sister his block fence and his toy lions, elephants, and monkeys. + +"That's nice, Tom. I made a house with the dolls!" Lily said, pointing to her block walls and her toy family. + +They were having fun, until they heard a loud noise from the kitchen. It was their cat, Max, who had jumped on the table and knocked over a bowl of fruit. Some apples and bananas rolled on the floor, and Max chased them. + +"Max, no!" Lily and Tom shouted, running to the kitchen. They wanted to stop Max from making a mess and eating the fruit. + +But when they got to the kitchen, they saw something strange. Max was not there. The fruit was not there. The bowl was not there. Nothing was there, except a small hole in the wall. + +"Where did everything go?" Lily asked, confused. + +"I don't know. Maybe they disappeared!" Tom said, scared. + +They looked at the hole, and saw something shiny inside. It was a thread, a very long and thin thread. It looked like it was coming from the other side of the wall. + +"Maybe the thread took everything!" Lily said, curious. + +"Maybe we can follow the thread and find everything!" Tom said, brave. + +They decided to pull the thread and see where it led. They pulled and pulled, and the thread got longer and longer. They saw more holes in the walls, and more things that had disappeared. They saw their mom's vase, their dad's hat, their grandma's necklace, and their own toys. + +"Wow, the thread took so many things!" Lily said, amazed. + +"Where is it taking them?" Tom asked, worried. + +They kept pulling, until they reached the end of the thread. It was tied to a huge balloon, a very big and round balloon. It was floating in the air, and it had a basket underneath. In the basket, they saw Max, the fruit, the bowl, and all the other things that had disappeared. Max was licking an apple, and looked very happy. + +"Max, you naughty cat!" Lily and Tom said, angry. + +They grabbed the balloon and pulled it down. They untied the thread and took back their things. They put everything back where it belonged, and scolded Max for his mischief. + +"Max, you can't take things that are not yours. You can't make holes in the walls. You can't fly away with a balloon. You can't disappear!" Lily and Tom said, stern. + +Max looked at them with his big eyes, and meowed softly. He seemed to say he was sorry. + +"Max, we love you, but you have to behave. Next time, play with us, not with the thread. OK?" Lily and Tom said, kind. + +Max nodded, and cuddled with them. He was glad they found him, and he was glad they forgave him. He decided to be a good cat, and not to disappear again. +Ben and Sam were brothers who liked to draw. They had many papers with their drawings, but they did not have a folder to keep them. They asked their mom to buy them a folder, but she said they had to wait until next week. + +One day, they saw a folder on the table. It was big and blue and had a picture of a mighty lion on it. They thought it was for them, so they took it and put their papers inside. They were very happy and proud of their folder. + +But the folder was not for them. It was for their dad, who needed it for his work. He had to provide a report to his boss, and he had put his papers in the folder. When he came home, he looked for his folder, but he could not find it. He was very worried and angry. + +He asked his mom if she had seen his folder, and she said no. He asked Ben and Sam if they had seen his folder, and they said no. They were afraid to tell the truth, because they thought he would be mad at them. They hid the folder under their bed. + +But their dad did not give up. He searched the whole house, and finally he found the folder under their bed. He opened it and saw their drawings. He realized what had happened, and he called them to his room. + +"Ben and Sam, did you take my folder?" he asked. + +They nodded, and said they were sorry. + +"Why did you take it?" he asked. + +"Because we liked it, and we wanted a folder for our drawings," they said. + +"But this folder was not for you. It was for my work. I had to provide a report to my boss, and it was very important. If I did not have it, I could lose my job. Do you understand?" he said. + +They nodded, and said they were sorry again. + +He sighed, and said, "I know you like to draw, and I am proud of your drawings. But you should not take things that are not yours, without asking. That is wrong, and it can hurt other people. You should always be honest, and respect other people's things. Do you understand?" + +They nodded, and said they were sorry one more time. + +He hugged them, and said, "I forgive you, but you have to promise me that you will never do this again. And you have to give me back my folder, so I can finish my work. OK?" + +They nodded, and gave him back his folder. They also gave him some of their drawings, to say thank you and sorry. + +He smiled, and said, "Thank you, these are very nice. And I am sorry that I did not buy you a folder. I will buy you one next week, OK?" + +They nodded, and said thank you. + +They learned their lesson, and they never took things that were not theirs again. They also learned to appreciate their dad's work, and to be proud of their own. They became good and honest brothers, and they always had a folder for their drawings. +Anna and Ben were going to the airport with their mom and dad. They were very excited because they had never been on a plane before. They wanted to learn about the airport and the plane. + +"Look, Anna, there are so many big cars and buses and trucks here!" Ben said, pointing out the window. + +"Yes, Ben, and there are also many people and bags and carts. They are all going to different places," Anna said. + +They arrived at the airport and got out of the car. They followed their mom and dad inside the big building. They saw a lot of signs and screens and machines. + +"What are those, mom?" Anna asked. + +"Those are the check-in counters, Anna. That's where we show our tickets and get our boarding passes. And those are the security scanners, Ben. That's where we put our bags and coats and shoes and go through a metal detector. It's to make sure we are safe," mom explained. + +They did all that and then walked to their gate. They saw a big window and a brilliant sight. + +"Wow, look, Ben, there are the planes!" Anna exclaimed. + +"They are so big and shiny and noisy! Can we go closer, dad?" Ben asked. + +"Sure, Ben, let's go and see. Maybe we can learn something about the planes," dad said. + +They went closer to the window and saw the planes taking off and landing. They saw the pilots and the crew and the passengers. They saw the wings and the engines and the wheels. + +"How do the planes fly, dad?" Anna asked. + +"Well, Anna, it's a bit complicated, but it has something to do with the air and the speed and the shape of the wings. Maybe we can learn more when we are on the plane," dad said. + +"Can we go on the plane now, mom?" Ben asked. + +"Yes, Ben, it's almost time. Let's go and find our seats. Are you ready for a brilliant adventure, Anna and Ben?" mom asked. + +"Yes, mom, we are ready! We want to learn more about the airport and the plane and the place we are going to!" Anna and Ben said. +Sam and Lily were twins who liked to help their mom in the kitchen. They liked to mix, pour, and stir things in bowls. They also liked to watch their mom put things in the oven and take them out when they were done. + +One day, their mom had to go to the store and asked their dad to watch them. Their dad was bald and had a big beard. He was not very good at cooking, but he wanted to make a surprise for their mom. He told Sam and Lily to stay in the living room and play with their toys. + +But Sam and Lily were curious and wanted to see what their dad was doing. They sneaked into the kitchen and saw their dad putting a cake in the oven. The cake looked funny and smelled bad. Sam and Lily thought their dad needed their help. + +They waited until their dad went to the bathroom and then opened the oven. They saw the cake was rising and bubbling. They thought it was too big and tried to poke it with a fork. But the cake was very hot and burned their fingers. They screamed and dropped the fork. + +Their dad heard them and ran to the kitchen. He saw the cake was ruined and the fork was on the floor. He was angry and sad. He said, "What did you do? You ruined the cake! I wanted to make a surprise for your mom, but now she will have nothing. You should have listened to me and stayed in the living room. I miss your mom. She is good at cooking and knows how to use the oven." + +Sam and Lily felt sorry and hugged their dad. They said, "We are sorry, dad. We wanted to help you. We miss mom too. She is good at cooking and knows how to use the oven. But we love you too. You are good at other things. You can read us stories and make us laugh. Maybe we can make another cake together when mom comes back." + +Their dad smiled and hugged them back. He said, "Thank you, Sam and Lily. I love you too. You are good at helping and learning. Maybe we can make another cake together when mom comes back. But for now, let's clean up this mess and go to the living room. I have a story to read you and a joke to tell you." +Tim was a boy who did not like to cut his hair. His hair was long and messy and covered his eyes. His mom said he had to go to the barber today. Tim was sad and angry. He did not want to go. + +"Come on, Tim, it's time to go," his mom said. "The barber is nice and he will make you look good." + +"No, no, no!" Tim shouted. He ran to his room and lay on his bed. He hid under his blanket and did not want to come out. + +His mom came to his room and knocked on the door. "Tim, please don't be mad. I know you don't like to cut your hair, but it's good for you. It will make you feel cooler and cleaner. And you can choose how you want your hair to look. The barber has many pictures of different hair styles. You can pick one you like." + +Tim peeked out from his blanket. He saw his mom smiling at him. She held a book with pictures of hair styles. Tim was curious. He got up from his bed and looked at the book. He saw some hair styles that looked funny and some that looked cool. He saw one that looked like a lion's mane. He liked that one. + +"Can I have this one?" he asked his mom, pointing at the picture. + +"Sure, if you want," his mom said. "But you have to go to the barber first. He will cut your hair and make it look like a lion's mane. Do you want to try?" + +Tim nodded. He was still a little scared, but he also wanted to look like a lion. He took his mom's hand and they went to the barber. + +The barber was a friendly man with a big smile. He greeted Tim and his mom and took them to a chair. He put a cape around Tim's neck and showed him a mirror. He asked Tim what hair style he wanted. + +"I want to look like a lion," Tim said, showing him the picture. + +"Wow, that's a great choice," the barber said. "You will look very brave and strong. But first, I have to cut your hair a little bit. It won't hurt, I promise. Just sit still and relax." + +The barber took a pair of scissors and started to cut Tim's hair. Tim felt a little tickle on his head, but it did not hurt. He watched the barber in the mirror and saw his hair getting shorter and neater. He saw his eyes and his ears and his face. He smiled. + +The barber finished cutting Tim's hair and then took a comb and some gel. He combed and styled Tim's hair to make it look like a lion's mane. He showed Tim the result in the mirror. + +"Look at you, Tim. You look amazing. You look like a real lion. Do you like it?" the barber asked. + +Tim looked at his hair and felt happy. He liked it a lot. He looked like a lion. He roared. + +"I love it!" he said. "Thank you, barber. You are nice and you are good." + +The barber laughed and gave Tim a high five. He took off the cape and gave Tim a lollipop. Tim thanked him and licked the lollipop. It was sweet and yummy. He gave his mom a hug and they left the barber shop. + +Tim felt proud and happy. He liked his new hair style. He did not feel sad or angry anymore. He felt like a lion. He roared again. His mom smiled and roared back. They walked home together, having fun. Tim was glad he went to the barber. He learned that sometimes trying new things can be good. And he learned that cutting his hair was not so bad. It was not bitter. It was sweet. +Sara and Ben like to go to the park with Mom. They bring bread to feed the ducks. The ducks swim in the pond and quack. Sara and Ben break the bread into small pieces and throw them to the ducks. + +"Look, Mom, the ducks are hungry!" Sara says. + +"Yes, they are. You are very kind to supply them with food," Mom says. + +Ben sees a big duck with a green head. He likes the duck. He throws a big piece of bread to the duck. The duck swims fast and catches the bread. + +"Wow, you are a good duck!" Ben says. + +The duck quacks and wags its tail. It swims closer to Ben. Ben reaches out his hand to touch the duck. The duck nibbles his fingers gently. + +"Ouch, that tickles!" Ben says and laughs. + +The duck quacks and wags its tail again. It likes Ben. + +"Don't worry, Ben. The duck is mild. It just wants to say hello," Mom says. + +Sara and Ben smile. They like the ducks. They feed them more bread until the bread is gone. Then they wave goodbye to the ducks and go home. They had a fun day at the park. +Lily liked to help her mom in the kitchen. She wanted to be a good cook like her mom. Mom gave her a big spoon and a bowl of eggs. She told Lily to stir the eggs until they were yellow and smooth. + +Lily stirred and stirred the eggs. She felt happy and proud. She wanted to make a brilliant omelet for her dad. He was coming home soon from work. Lily loved her dad very much. + +But then, Lily saw a shiny red button on the stove. She wondered what it did. She let go of the spoon and reached for the button. She pushed it hard. The stove made a loud noise and a big flame came out. Lily screamed and dropped the bowl. The eggs spilled all over the floor. + +Mom ran to the kitchen and turned off the stove. She hugged Lily and checked if she was hurt. She was not hurt, but she was scared and sorry. She had made a big mess and wasted the eggs. She had ruined the omelet. + +Mom told Lily that it was okay. She said that the button was for the gas and that it was very dangerous. She said that Lily should never touch it again. She said that she was glad that Lily was safe and that she loved her. She said that they could clean up the mess and make a new omelet. She said that Lily was still a brilliant helper and a good cook. Lily felt better and hugged her mom back. She said that she was sorry and that she loved her too. She said that she would listen to her mom and be careful in the kitchen. She said that she wanted to stir the eggs again. Mom smiled and gave her a new spoon and a new bowl. They stirred the eggs together and made a delicious omelet for dad. He came home and ate it with them. He said that it was the best omelet he ever had. He said that Lily and mom were brilliant cooks and that he loved them very much. Lily felt happy and proud again. She liked to help her mom in the kitchen. +Lily and Tom are playing in the park. They like to run and jump and slide. Lily sees a big wall with a lot of colors on it. She wants to look at it. She runs to the wall and grabs a piece of paper that is stuck on it. It has a picture of a cat and a fish. + +"Look, Tom, look!" Lily says. "A cat and a fish!" + +Tom runs to Lily and looks at the paper. He likes the picture too. He wants to have it. He grabs the paper from Lily's hand. + +"Mine, mine!" Tom says. "I want it!" + +Lily is sad and angry. She wants the paper back. She grabs Tom's arm and pulls. + +"Give it back, give it back!" Lily says. "It's mine!" + +Tom and Lily pull and tug and shout. They tear the paper in half. They both cry. + +A lady comes to them. She is the teacher. She sees the paper and the wall and the tears. + +"What happened, Lily and Tom?" she asks. "Why are you crying?" + +Lily and Tom tell her what happened. They both say sorry. The teacher hugs them and wipes their tears. + +"It's okay, Lily and Tom," she says. "It was a mistake. You can share the paper. Or you can make your own pictures. There are more papers and crayons in the bag. Come, let's go and draw." + +Lily and Tom nod and smile. They take the papers and crayons and go to a bench. They draw their own cats and fish. They show each other and say nice things. They are friends again. + +They are fine. +Lily and Max were twins, but they were very unique. Lily liked to draw and sing, and Max liked to build and destroy. They always had fun playing together, but sometimes they made a big mess. + +One day, they found a big box of blocks in the attic. They decided to make a castle with the blocks. Lily made the walls and the towers, and Max made the doors and the bridges. They worked hard and soon they had a beautiful castle. + +They put the castle on the table and admired it. The sunshine came through the window and made the blocks sparkle. Lily and Max were very happy and proud of their castle. + +But then, Max had an idea. He wanted to see what would happen if he destroyed the castle. He thought it would be fun to knock down the blocks and make a loud noise. He did not ask Lily if she wanted to destroy the castle too. + +He ran to the table and pushed the castle with his hands. The blocks fell down and scattered everywhere. The castle was gone. Lily was shocked and angry. She had worked hard to make the castle and she liked it very much. She did not want to destroy it. + +She started to cry and shouted at Max. "Why did you destroy our castle? It was so pretty and unique! You are mean and naughty!" Max felt sorry and sad. He did not mean to make Lily cry. He just wanted to have fun. + +He hugged Lily and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I did not think. I just wanted to play. I love you and I love our castle. Can we make it again?" Lily wiped her tears and nodded. She loved Max and she loved their castle too. They hugged and said sorry to each other. + +They picked up the blocks and started to make the castle again. They helped each other and made it even better than before. They learned to share and respect each other's ideas. They had fun and enjoyed the sunshine. They were unique and happy twins. +Sara was hungry. She went to the kitchen to find some food. She saw a plate on the table. It had something on it. She did not know what it was. It was brown and round and had a hole in the middle. It smelled good. + +She wanted to try it. She guessed it was a cookie. She liked cookies. She reached for the plate. But then she heard a voice. + +"Hey, that's mine!" It was her brother, Tom. He came into the kitchen. He looked angry. He took the plate from her. "That's not a cookie, silly. That's a bagel. Mom made it for me. You can't have it." + +Sara felt sad. She wanted a bagel too. She did not know what a bagel was. She thought it looked like a cookie. She wished Tom would share with her. She asked him nicely. + +"Please, Tom, can I have some of your bagel? I'm hungry too. I've never had a bagel before. It looks yummy." + +Tom thought for a moment. He saw Sara's sad face. He felt sorry for her. He decided to be nice. He broke his bagel in half. He gave one half to Sara. He said, "Here, you can have some of my bagel. But only if you say thank you. And don't call it a cookie. It's a bagel. It's different. It's better." + +Sara smiled. She said, "Thank you, Tom. You're a good brother. I'm sorry I called it a cookie. I'll try it now. Maybe I'll like it too." + +She took a bite of the bagel. She liked it. It was soft and chewy and sweet. She said, "Mmm, this is good. I like bagels. They're not cookies. They're unknown. But they're yummy." + +Tom smiled too. He said, "You're welcome, Sara. You're a good sister. I'm glad you like bagels. They're not unknown. They're bagels. But they're yummy." + +They ate their bagels together. They were happy. They shared their food. They learned something new. They were good siblings. +Ben and Lily liked to play at the beach. They liked to make sand castles and dig holes and splash in the water. They always had fun with their mom and dad. + +One day, they saw a big red ball on the sand. It looked like a balloon. Ben and Lily ran to the ball and kicked it. It bounced and rolled. They laughed and chased it. + +But the ball was not a balloon. It was a crab. A big, angry crab. It did not like to be kicked. It snapped its claws and made a loud noise. Ben and Lily were scared. They screamed and ran away. + +Their mom and dad heard them and came to see what was wrong. They saw the crab and the ball. They understood what happened. They picked up Ben and Lily and hugged them. They said it was okay. They said the crab was just trying to protect itself. They said they should not kick things that are alive. + +Ben and Lily felt embarrassed. They said they were sorry. They said they did not know it was a crab. They said they would be more careful next time. Their mom and dad smiled and kissed them. They said they loved them. + +They decided to leave the beach and go home. They said goodbye to the crab and the ball. They hoped they would not meet them again. They learned a lesson that day. They learned to respect the animals at the beach. +Ben and Mia liked to play in the park. They had a small table and some cups and plates. They pretended to serve tea and cake to their toys and each other. They had a lot of fun. + +One day, it was very hot and sunny. Ben and Mia felt thirsty and tired. They looked for some shade to rest. They saw a big tree with green leaves. They ran to the tree and put their table under it. + +"Ah, this is nice and cool," Ben said. "Do you want some tea, Mia?" + +"Yes, please," Mia said. "But we don't have any water. How can we make tea?" + +Ben had an idea. He saw a fountain nearby. He took a cup and filled it with water. He brought it back to the table. + +"Here you go, Mia. This is water tea. It is very healthy and good for you," Ben said. + +Mia took a sip. She smiled. + +"Thank you, Ben. This is very tasty and refreshing. You are a good server," Mia said. + +They drank their water tea and felt happy. They did not know that someone was watching them from behind the tree. It was a big dog. He was hungry and curious. He wanted to try their cake. He waited for his chance to sneak up on them. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run, jump and slide. They had fun with their friends. The sun was warm and bright. + +But then, the sky became dark and grey. Big drops of water started to fall. It was rain. Tom and Lily did not like rain. They wanted to go home. + +"Let's go, Lily!" Tom said. "We need our coats!" + +But Lily did not listen. She saw something shiny in the grass. It was a ring. She wanted to pick it up. + +"Look, Tom!" Lily said. "A ring! It is so pretty!" + +Tom looked at the ring. It was gold and had a red stone. It was fine. But he was worried. + +"Lily, we have to go!" Tom said. "The rain is getting stronger. We will get wet and cold!" + +But Lily did not listen. She reached for the ring. But as soon as she touched it, something strange happened. The ring disappeared. And in its place, a frog appeared. + +"Ribbit!" The frog said. "Hello, little girl!" + +Lily was surprised and scared. She screamed and jumped back. + +"Tom, help!" Lily said. "There is a frog!" + +Tom ran to Lily. He saw the frog. He was surprised and scared too. + +"Where did the frog come from?" Tom said. "Where is the ring?" + +The frog smiled and winked. + +"I am the ring!" The frog said. "I am a magic frog. I can change into anything I want. Do you want to play with me?" + +Tom and Lily did not want to play with the frog. They wanted to go home. They grabbed their coats and ran away. + +"Bye, bye!" The frog said. "Maybe I will see you again!" + +The frog changed into a ring again. He waited for someone else to find him. He liked to play tricks. He had fun with his magic. +Ben and Lily were playing in the garden with their toy cars. They liked to make them zoom and crash on the grass. Sometimes they pretended they were racing or chasing bad guys. + +But there was a problem. The garden had a big drain in the corner, and it was very nosy. It made loud noises like gurgle and splash, and it smelled bad. Ben and Lily were afraid of the drain, and they never went near it. + +One day, Ben's car rolled too fast and went into the drain. Ben was very sad and scared. He wanted his car back, but he did not want to go near the drain. + +"Help, help!" he cried. "My car is in the drain!" + +Lily heard him and ran to him. She saw his car stuck in the hole, and she felt sorry for him. + +"Don't cry, Ben," she said. "I have an idea. Maybe we can get your car out with a stick." + +She looked around and found a long stick. She gave it to Ben and said, "Try to poke your car with this. Maybe it will come out." + +Ben took the stick and tried to reach his car. He hoped it would work. He did not like the drain, but he liked his car more. + +He poked and poked, and finally he felt something move. He pulled the stick out, and his car was on the end of it. He was very happy and hugged his car. + +"Thank you, Lily!" he said. "You are a good friend. You are brave and smart." + +Lily smiled and said, "You're welcome, Ben. You are a good friend too. You are strong and kind." + +They decided to play away from the drain, and they never heard it make noises again. They hoped it would stay quiet and leave them alone.

She liked to eat grass, drink water and play with her friends. Sometimes, she would also help the farmer by giving him milk. + +One night, Bella was very tired and wanted to sleep. She said goodbye to her friends and followed her mother to the barn, where they had a warm and soft bed of hay. She snuggled with her mother and closed her eyes. + +"Good night, my sweet Bella," her mother said. "Sleep well and have nice dreams." + +"Good night, mama," Bella said. "I love you." + +She was about to fall asleep when she heard a loud noise outside. It sounded like a roar. She opened her eyes and saw a big shadow moving near the fence. She felt frightened and hugged her mother. + +"Mama, what is that?" she whispered. + +Her mother looked outside and saw a lion. The lion had escaped from the zoo and was looking for food. He saw the farm and smelled the animals. He wanted to eat them. + +"Don't be afraid, Bella," her mother said. "It's a lion, but he can't hurt us. The farmer and his dog will chase him away. Stay here and be quiet." + +The farmer and his dog heard the roar too. They grabbed a flashlight and a stick and ran outside. They saw the lion and shouted at him. The dog barked and ran towards him. The lion was surprised and scared. He did not want to fight. He turned around and ran away. + +The farmer and his dog followed him until he was far away. Then they came back to the barn and checked on the animals. They were all safe and sound. + +"Thank you, farmer and dog," Bella's mother said. "You saved us from the lion." + +"You're welcome, cow and calf," the farmer said. "You are brave and good. Now go back to sleep and don't worry. The lion is gone and won't come back." + +Bella and her mother yawned and nodded. They were very tired and relieved. They thanked the farmer and the dog again and lay down on the hay. They cuddled and closed their eyes. + +"Good night, mama," Bella said. + +"Good night, Bella," her mother said. + +They slept well and had nice dreams. +Lily and Max are friends.

They had a big cardboard box that they used as a house. They liked to pretend they were a family and do different things in their house. + +One day, a big dog came into the garden. It saw the cardboard box and thought it was a toy. It ran towards the box and tried to bite it. Tom and Lily were scared. They shouted at the dog to go away. + +"Go away, dog! This is our house! You can't enter!" Tom said. + +"Leave us alone, dog! You are bad! You can't have our cardboard!" Lily said. + +But the dog did not listen. It kept barking and biting the box. It made a big hole in the side of the box. Tom and Lily were very sad. They loved their cardboard house. + +Then, Lily had an idea. She was very clever. She saw a stick on the ground. She picked it up and waved it at the dog. + +"Look, dog! A stick! Do you want the stick?" Lily said. + +The dog stopped barking and biting. It saw the stick and wagged its tail. It liked sticks.

She did not know what it was, but she liked it. She put it in her pocket and went downstairs to show her mom. + +"Mom, look what I found!" she said, holding the shiny thing. + +Mom smiled and took it from her. "This is a compass, Lisa. It tells you which way is north, south, east, and west. It was your grandpa's. He used it when he traveled around the world." + +"Wow, that's cool! Can I keep it?" Lisa asked. + +Mom thought for a moment. She knew that Lisa loved the compass, but she also knew that it was very special to her dad, who missed his father a lot. She decided to be compassionate and let Lisa have it. + +"Yes, you can keep it, Lisa. But you have to promise me something. You have to promise to give it to your dad when he comes home from work. He will be very happy to see it. It will remind him of his dad and how much he loved him. Can you do that?" + +Lisa nodded. She hugged mom and said, "Thank you, mom. I promise to give it to dad.

She had seen Tim with her toy. She had got it for her birthday, and she did not like to share it. She ran to Tim and snatched the toy from his hands. + +"Hey, that's mine!" she yelled. "Give it back!" + +"No, it's mine!" Tim yelled back. "I found it!" + +They started to pull and tug on the toy. They did not notice the ants. The ants were not happy. They had been disturbed by the toy. They had been scared by the scream. They decided to bite the intruders. They crawled up Tim's and Lily's legs and bit them hard. + +"Ow, ow, ow!"

They run to the train and show their ticket to the man. The man says they can go on the train, but only one of them. He says the ticket is for one person only. Tom and Sam are sad. They do not want to go alone. They do not want to leave their friend. They argue about who should go. + +"I found the ticket, so I should go!" says Tom. + +"No, I saw it first, so I should go!" says Sam. + +They pull the ticket and tear it in half. They are shocked. They look at the ticket. It is broken. They cannot go on the train. They are very sad. They cry. + +The man sees them crying. He feels sorry for them. He says he can help them. He says he can restore the ticket. He takes the two pieces and puts them together. He uses a tape and a sticker. He makes the ticket whole again. He gives it back to Tom and Sam.

But then he feels something hard and sharp under his bum. It hurts. He cries out. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Ben says. He stops sliding and looks at the slide. He sees a small pebble stuck on the slide. It must have fallen from the trees. He picks it up and throws it away. He looks at his bum. It is red and sore. + +Lila hears Ben cry and runs to him. She sees the pebble and the red mark on his bum. She feels sorry for him. + +"Are you okay, Ben?" Lila asks. She hugs him and tries to make him feel better. + +Ben nods. He is still sad, but he likes Lila's hug. He wipes his tears and smiles. + +"Let's go on the swings instead," Ben says. He holds Lila's hand and they walk to the swings. They swing high and low and forget about the pebble and the slide. + +The end. +Tom and Lily went to the farm with their mom and dad. They saw many animals, like cows, pigs, chickens and sheep. They also saw a big horse. The horse was brown and had a long mane and tail. + +"Can I pet the horse, mom?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, but be careful. Don't go near his mouth. He might bite you," mom said. + +Lily nodded and walked slowly to the horse. She reached out her hand and touched his nose. The horse snorted and moved his head. Lily giggled and stroked his fur. + +Tom wanted to pet the horse too. He ran to the other side of the fence and grabbed the horse's ear. The horse did not like that. He opened his mouth and bit Tom's finger. + +"Ow! Ow! Ow!" Tom cried. He let go of the horse's ear and ran back to his mom and dad. His finger was red and sore. + +"Tom, what did you do?" dad asked. + +"I wanted to pet the horse, but he bit me!" Tom said. + +"You should have listened to mom. She told you not to go near his mouth. The horse is expensive and he doesn't like strangers," dad said. + +"I'm sorry, dad. I won't do it again," Tom said. + +Mom put a band-aid on Tom's finger and gave him a hug. Lily came over and gave him a kiss. + +"It's okay, Tom. The horse didn't mean to hurt you. He was just scared. Next time, we can pet the sheep. They are soft and friendly," Lily said. + +Tom smiled and nodded. He learned his lesson. He decided to be more careful with animals. He still liked the horse, but he respected his space. He and Lily had fun at the farm. They saw many animals, but they didn't bite any of them. +Sara and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a rabbit in the grass. Sara wanted to catch the rabbit and pet it. Ben said no, it was not a good idea. + +"Please, Ben, please!" Sara said. "I want to touch the rabbit. It is so soft and cute. Please, please, please!" + +Sara insisted. She did not listen to Ben. She ran after the rabbit. The rabbit was scared. It ran away from Sara. It ran to the road.

But this time, she remembered what her mom had told her and she didn't feel dizzy anymore.

He realized that he had forgotten to wear his coat! When he put it on, he felt warm and cozy again. + +As Timmy walked back inside for dinner, he saw his mom making spaghetti. It smelled delicious, but Timmy wasn't sure if he would like it. He decided to try a bite anyway, and it turned out to be the most delicious spaghetti he had ever tasted! +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She loved to eat spaghetti with tomato sauce. One day, her mom made her spaghetti for dinner. But when Lily took a bite, she noticed something strange. The spaghetti was very rare and not cooked enough. + +Lily started to panic and didn't know what to do. She didn't like the rare spaghetti and didn't want to eat it.
