+
+The person leaned forward and reached into the water. She carefully pulled out a shiny bottle. She opened the bottle and saw a magical genie inside.

+
+The lake was so big and pretty. Josh saw a lot of interesting things in the water. He asked Lucy, “Can we dive in to explore it more?â€
+
+Lucy was scared, but Josh was brave. So, they both dived in. Josh was the first to explore deep down the lake. He found something shiny—it was a piece of steel.
+
+He touched it and it felt wet. “Let’s take it home,†he said. Lucy was scared and said, “No! Please don’t take it out of the water.†But Josh didn’t listen and he took the steel out.
+
+Suddenly, the sky was filled with dark clouds and there was lightning! Josh was so scared and he started to cry. Lucy told him, “Let’s put the steel back in the water!â€
+
+But it was too late. The storm was too strong and they both got swept away by the strong winds. The steel that Josh had taken was lost forever.
+
+The moral of the story is to never pick up something strange if you don’t know what it is.

+The knight was so thankful, so he took the sword with a big smile. But when he tried to swing it at the dragons, he was clumsy and he dropped the sword. 
+
+The brave knight was embarrassed but the fox was very kind. The fox laughed and said, "That's alright! You can keep practising using the sword and one day you will be really great." 
+
+The knight thanked the fox and continued on his way. From then on, the knight became a much better fighter thanks to the fox's kind help!

+
+Henry answered: "I'm running to get a snack from the snack bar!"
+
+Johnny's dad thought that was really silly, but he said "Okay, go ahead."
+
+So Henry kept running and laughing, until he was out of sight. Johnny watched his friend until he was gone, then he looked back and said to his dad: "Can I run too, like Henry?"
+
+His dad smiled and said, "Yes, of course."
+
+So Johnny started running around the park too, laughing and having fun. He always made sure to come back to his dad when he wanted a snack. His dad gave him fruit and water, which Johnny thought was much better than a snack from the snack bar.
+
+At the end of the day, when they were both tired of running, they walked back home and Johnny was already dreaming of the next time he could run around the park with his silly friend Henry.

+John was sad, but he understood.

+One night, Polly's best friend called her up. "Hey Polly, what are you doing?" asked her friend.
+
+Polly replied, "I'm getting ready to sleep!"
+
+Her friend laughed. "But it's so early - why do you sleep so early?"
+
+Polly replied matter-of-factly. "I work hard all day, so I need enough sleep at night to do it all over again the next day."
+
+Her friend sighed, still envious of Polly's ability to get to bed early.
+
+The two friends said goodnight, and Polly snuggled into her bed, ready for a good night's sleep.
+Once upon a time, there was a wise old man. He had a big bookshelf in his house, and it was always full of colourful books. 
+
+One day the old man saw a little girl. She had big round eyes and she looked very curious. The old man smiled at her and asked, "Do you want to hear a story?". The little girl's face lit up and she nodded eagerly. 
+
+The old man opened a big book. It seemed ancient, somehow, and he read a story about a brave knight and a magical dragon. 
+
+The little girl listened with her mouth open. She seemed to understand it all and by the end of the story her eyes were sparkling. The old man smiled and said, "That was a very wise story!" 
+
+The little girl thanked him and ran off, giddy with excitement. She couldn't wait to tell her friends all about it. The old man just smiled and continued to carefully place the books back on the bookshelf.
+Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Tim. He was 3 years old.
+
+One day, he was outside playing in the park with his mum. His mum showed him a rake and said, "Tim, today I'm going to teach you how to use a rake."
+
+Tim was very excited, he nodded his head and eagerly grabbed the rake. Then, he started raking the leaves on the ground, but he was doing it very slowly. 
+
+His mum saw this and said, "Let me show you how to do it faster!" She demonstrated how to use the rake to Tim, and soon enough he got the hang of it.
+
+After some time, Tim finished his work. He proudly looked at his mum and she said to him, "Well done! You did a great job."
+
+Tim felt embarrassed and said, "I did? Really?" His mum smiled and replied, "Yes, you did. You did it very well!"
+
+Tim smiled and thought to himself, I can do anything with Mum's help.
+Once upon a time there was a clever boy named Bobby. Bobby was playing in the garden when he heard a funny noise. He followed the noise to his mum's shed and found a leak coming from the roof. Mum was mainly worried about the leak and decided to leave the shed until it was fixed. Bobby was sad and wanted to help, even though he was only 3 years old.
+
+"Bobby," Mum said, trying to be kind. "Why don't you use your clever ideas to help with the leak?"
+
+Bobby smiled, and knew exactly what to do. He ran to his room and grabbed some boxes, placing them around the shed. That way, the leak would stay away!
+
+Mum was amazed by how clever Bobby was. She thanked him and they both hugged.
+
+"You really saved the shed," Mum said.
+
+Bobby smiled and said, "I'm glad I could help." 
+
+Mum and Bobby sealed the shed with some extra pieces of wood, so the leak would never come back. From that day on, Bobby always used his clever ideas to help out in the garden.
+Once there was a little girl called Lucy. She really wanted to sail the seas. One day, she got hold of a little sail. She was so excited, she put it on her back and went out to sea.
+
+The sea was calm and Lucy had a great time. Until all of a sudden, the wind started to blow. Lucy and her sail were blown into a smelly swamp. She tried to get out but her sail was stuck fast.
+
+Lucy started to cry and it became very cold. Everything started to freeze, including Lucy and her sail. She stayed in the smelly swamp until the end of time.
+Once upon a time, there were two brothers named Jake and Tom. Jake and Tom were playing in the park and they saw a big rock. 
+
+"Wow, I have never seen a rock this big before," said Jake.
+
+Tom said, "Let's move it to our house. We can rock back and forth together on it."
+
+Jake and Tom tried to move the rock but it was too heavy. 
+
+"I know," said Tom, "Let's ask my dad to help us carry it home."
+
+So they went to their dad and asked him to help. 
+
+"It's too big and it's too heavy," their dad said. "But if you can move it one inch each day, I'm sure you'll be able to move it."
+
+So every day, Jake and Tom pushed the rock one inch. After several days, the regular rock was at their house. 
+
+Jake and Tom were so happy! They hugged their dad and thanked him for helping and then they hopped onto the rock and laughed and rocked back and forth.
+Once upon a time there was a family. They were planning to go on a vacation, so they started to pack. Dad packed his shirt and shoes, Mom packed her swimsuit, and the kids packed their toys.
+
+"I'm almost finished packing," said Dad. "I think all we need is some food."
+
+The family drove their car to the beach. They were so excited to see the beautiful aqua blue water and white sand.
+
+Once they set up camp, Dad said, "Let's go to the reef!"
+
+Kids jumped with joy and raced to the ocean. But the reef was noisy - some fish were singing, other were talking - and it was hard for the family to hear each other.
+
+"It's so loud here," said Mom.
+
+But after a while, the family got used to the noise and enjoyed watching the beautiful fish and coral. 
+Dad then said, "Let's stay a bit longer and make memories". So they did.
+Once there was a little girl who was very small and very gentle. One day she was walking in her garden and saw a beautiful distant bird. She wanted to get closer to the bird and wanted to comb it's feathers. She ran to get her comb and climbed the fence to get closer to the bird.
+
+The bird seemed scared and flew a bit away. The little girl started to cry and decided to rest near the fence and wait for the bird to come back. She waited and waited until she fell asleep.
+
+When she woke up, the bird was gone. She looked far and wide, but couldn't find it anywhere. The little girl cried and cried, thinking she had scared the bird away. She was very sad and went to rest in her house, with her comb in her hand.
+Once upon a time, there was an elderly woman who lived in a small house. She had a beautiful birdcage in her living room which she loved very much. One morning, the elderly woman was awoken by a knocking at her front door. She opened her door to find a small, little bird.
+
+The woman was filled with surprise. She carefully opened the birdcage and let the bird in. Immediately, the bird flew and perched itself on the top of the cage, singing a delightful tune.
+
+The woman smiled and said:"This is a beautiful bird. I will call you 'Success', for you have succeeded in finding a home!" 
+
+The bird sang out happily and the elderly woman was content. From that day forward, the woman made sure to take good care of Success, giving it lots of love and attention. 
+
+And that is the story of how an elderly woman found her feathered friend. With Success, she had succeeded in filling her home with joy and love.
+Once upon a time Ella wanted to go to a party. She asked her mummy if she could go and her mummy said yes. Ella was excited to meet new friends.
+
+So off they went, Ella and her mummy. They arrived at the party and when Ella saw it she was so happy. Everything was bright and colourful and lots of friends were playing.
+
+Ella went to say hello to all the new friends. Suddenly Ella noticed something very filthy. It was a huge puddle of mud in the middle of the party. Ella asked her mummy “What is this?â€
+
+Mummy replied, “It looks like someone’s made a huge mess! But don’t worry, lets find a mop and clean it up!â€.
+
+So Ella and her mummy got to work and soon the party was lovely and clean again. Everyone was very pleased and Ella had a great time meeting new friends.
+The sun was setting, and Mary and her mom were getting ready for bedtime. Mary put on her pajamas, brushed her teeth and climbed into bed.
+
+Mary's mom smiled and said, “It’s time to rest now. I will be in the next room if you need me.†Mary was very sleepy, but she knew she had to resist sleep.
+
+“Mom, can I just do one more bit of work?†Mary asked quietly.
+
+“No, it’s time for bed,†Mom said. “You need to rest and get a good night’s sleep.â€
+
+Mary knew her mom was right, but she still wanted to stay up and work. She finally gave in and said, “Ok, I'll rest now.â€
+
+Mary’s mom gave her a hug and said, “Good job resisting sleep. Go to sleep now.â€
+
+Mary nodded and closed her eyes. Soon, her room was quiet and she was fast asleep.
+Once there was a brave little boy named Andy. He went outside to explore the big world. As he was walking, he noticed something was flying very high in the sky. He stopped and stared, realizing that it was a bird. He wanted to fly as high as the bird, so he spread his arms like wings and began running really fast. He felt the wind blowing in his face, but he didn't lift up. He felt disappointed but he was brave.
+
+Suddenly a kind old man appeared and said, "You have to have wings to be able to fly like the bird, don't you?"
+
+Andy nodded and said, "Yes, I do have wings, they are just not visible."
+
+The kind old man smiled and said, "I admire your bravery, but you will never realize your dream with no wings. To reach the sky, you need to use your two legs. You can use them to climb mountains or run as fast as a bird."
+
+Andy was sad at first, but then he finally realized the kind old man was right. He thanked the old man for his wise words and promised he would no longer try to fly without wings.
+
+The moral of the story is that we all have the potential to reach our dreams, but we need to be brave and use our legs to get there.
+Once upon a time, there was a hive full of friendly bees. Their home was full of sunshine and honey. One day, the bees decided to try their luck at winning a competition. They worked very hard for weeks to get ready for the contest.
+
+When the competition day arrived, the bees were so excited. As they flew to the contest, they admired all the other animals competing. Then, the contest began!
+
+The bees were so close to winning the contest. Every bee was cheering for each other and giving their all. But, at the last moment, a bear came running in and won the contest instead.
+
+The bees were so sad and disappointed. They had worked so hard, so the bear's unexpected win was quite disheartening.
+
+But, the moral of the story is; you must always be prepared for the unexpected. Even when we work our hardest, we cannot always be sure of the outcome. Still, it is important to keep trying, no matter the problems we face.
+Sam was very excited when he saw the loop. He wanted to play on it all day! His mom and dad had taken him to the park to explore. "Look at that loop, it's so impressive!" Sam thought. 
+
+He ran to the loop, but it suddenly seemed so big. He looked back at his parents to make sure they were close by.
+"I think I can do it!" Sam said. His mom and dad smiled and encouraged him. With a deep breath, Sam started down the loop. 
+
+He was careful not to step off, and with every step he became more confident. Soon, he was at the end of the loop. He looked up proudly at his mom and dad. "I did it!" he said.
+
+They both clapped and cheered for him. Sam smiled, he felt so proud of himself. The loop looked much smaller now, and he couldn't believe he'd done it. "That was so impressive!" he said. 
+
+His mom smiled and hugged him. "I'm so proud of you, Sam!" she said. Sam smiled, feeling proud and happy. He had conquered the loop!
+Once upon a time there was a fat little puppy. He was so fat that he couldn't even wiggle his tail. The puppy felt very sad.
+
+One day, the puppy was walking down the street when he saw a wonderful sight: a group of people dancing to cheerful music. He stopped and watched them, and they seemed so happy.
+
+The puppy wanted to join the dance too. He tried to move his body, but it was too big. He stamped his feet, but he couldn't keep up with the music.
+
+Suddenly, the music stopped. One of the dancers walked over to the puppy and said, "Do you want to dance with us?"
+
+The puppy was so happy that he jumped up and down and tried to dance. In his excitement, he wiggled his little tail. The dancer smiled and said, "You can definitely dance, little pup. Come join us!"
+
+The puppy and the dancers danced and twirled around in the street until the sun went down. It seemed like the happiest day ever.
+Once upon a time there was a little girl named Sara. She lived close to a forest, and every evening she would go for a walk to see what kind things she could find.
+
+One day when Sara was walking she came across a dull grey owl perched in a tree. She was so excited to see the owl and wanted to go closer.
+
+She asked her mom, “Mom can I go see it?â€
+
+Her mom wisely replied, “No Sara, it’s better to just look at it from here - so it won’t fly away.â€
+
+So Sara looked carefully at the owl, admiring its big eyes and soft feathers, and then she said goodbye to it and went back home.
+
+The moral of the story is that sometimes it's best to admire something from a distance instead of disturbing it.

+
+Pearl smiled in joy, but her mother was not pleased. “Ah! You should not snap so hard,†said her mother. “When we snap, it is important to be gentle but firm. Forceful snapping can lead to broken things."
+
+Pearl nodded and and said, "Yes mama, I understand. I will be more gentle next time." 
+
+From then on, Pearl knew that honesty and gracefulness can go a long way if you take the time to use them wisely.

+
+Every day, the sailor looked after Rock and made sure it was nice and fair. Rock was surrounded by lots of friends and they all came to visit Rock.

+Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She loved to play outside in the park with her friends. One day, Lily and her friends decided to play a game of tag. Lily was running so fast that she stumbled on a rock and fell down. Her friends helped her up and asked if she was okay.
+
+Lily said, "I'm okay, just a little stumble." Her friends were persistent and asked if she wanted to take a break or keep playing. Lily decided to keep playing because she didn't want to miss out on the fun.
+
+As they continued to play, they saw a long line of ants marching across the grass. Lily's friend, Timmy, asked, "What are those little bugs doing in a line?" Lily replied, "They are going home to their ant hill. They always walk in a line to find their way."
+
+After a while, the sun started to set and it was time for Lily to go home. She said goodbye to her friends and promised to play with them again soon. As she walked home, she thought about her fun day and how she was grateful for her persistent friends who helped her when she stumbled.

+
+Lily's mom told her that she could trust her to keep her warm and safe. Lily felt happy and cozy with her mom. 
+
+The next day, Lily went out to play in the snow again, but this time she didn't wear her coat. She got very cold and started to feel miserable. She remembered what her mom said about trusting her, so she went inside to ask for help. 
+
+Her mom gave her a big hug and put a warm blanket around her. Lily felt much better and learned to always trust her mom to keep her warm and happy. The end.

+Timmy smiled and they walked to the ice cream truck. When they got there, Timmy saw his friend Billy. Billy had two ice creams and Timmy felt ashamed because he didn't have any.

+
+Timmy was happy and said, "Thank you, Mommy!"

+
+Her mom saw that Lily was upset and asked what happened. Lily showed her the jewel and said, "It's dirty now." Her mom smiled and said, "Don't worry, we can clean it together."

+Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She loved to play outside and pick flowers. One day, she picked some flowers and wanted to create something special with them. She went to her mom and said, "Mommy, can we make perfume with these pretty flowers?" 
+
+Her mom smiled and said, "Of course, Lily! Let's go to the kitchen and create a special perfume just for you." They mixed the flowers with water and let it sit for a while. After some time, they strained the mixture and put it in a bottle. 
+
+Lily was so happy with her new perfume. She sprayed it on herself and said, "Wow, it smells so good and makes me feel so comfortable!" Her mom smiled and said, "I'm glad you like it. You created something really special today."
+Once upon a time, there was a big house with a big attic. The attic was a room up high where old things were kept. One day, a little girl named Lily wanted to find her old teddy bear. She asked her mommy where it was and her mommy said it might be in the attic. 
+
+Lily went up the stairs and opened the door to the attic. She saw lots of boxes and old clothes. She looked and looked until she found her teddy bear. But when she picked it up, it was all stretched out!

+
+Lily's mommy asked if she wanted to take the kitten home, but Lily knew they already had a dog and didn't think they could take care of another pet. So, they said goodbye to the kitten and continued on their walk.

+After a little while, Tim's friend Jack got really thirsty again. He asked Tim's mom if he could have another drink. She said, "Sure, but remember to repeat after me: 'I will drink more water so I don't get hurt.'" Jack repeated the sentence and then took another drink from the cooler.
+
+Tim and his friends played happily for the rest of the day, making sure to drink plenty of water from the cooler so they wouldn't get hurt.

+"Let's go, let's go!" Lily said, holding Ben's hand. They skipped along the path, singing a happy song. They saw some birds, some flowers and some dogs on their way. They smiled and waved at them.
+
+When they reached the park, they looked for a nice spot to sit and eat. They found a big tree with a swing. They put their bag under the tree and took out the swing. They took turns to push each other on the swing. They laughed and shouted with joy.
+
+"Look, Lily, look!" Ben said, pointing at the sky. "A rainbow!"
+
+Lily looked up and saw the beautiful colors. She gasped and clapped her hands. "Wow, Ben, wow! It's so pretty!"
+
+They got off the swing and ran to the bag. They wanted to take a picture of the rainbow with Lily's camera. But when they opened the bag, they saw a problem. The juice had spilled and soaked everything. The bread, the cheese, the apples and the camera were all wet and sticky.
+
+"Oh no, oh no!" Lily cried, holding the camera. "It's broken! It's broken!"
+
+Ben felt sad and sorry. He had tied the juice bottle with a knot, but it had come loose. He had made a mistake. He hugged Lily and said, "I'm sorry, Lily, I'm sorry. It was my fault. I tied a bad knot. Can you forgive me?"
+
+Lily looked at Ben and saw his tears. She felt sad and sorry too. She knew Ben was her best friend and he didn't mean to ruin their picnic. She hugged him back and said, "It's okay, Ben, it's okay. I forgive you. You're my best friend. We can still have fun."
+
+They smiled and wiped their tears. They threw away the wet food and the broken camera. They didn't need them to be happy. They had each other and the rainbow. They skipped to the pond and fed some ducks. They skipped to the slide and slid down. They skipped to the bench and sang their song. They had a peaceful and fun day. They were best friends.
+Ben and Mia are twins. They go to school every day. They wear the same uniform: a blue shirt and a red skirt or pants. They like their uniform. It makes them look like a team.
+
+One day, it is very hot. The sun is bright and the air is sticky. Ben and Mia feel sweaty and tired. They want to drink water and eat ice cream. They walk home with their mom. They see a truck with a big sign. It says "Ice Cream".
+
+"Mom, can we have ice cream?" Ben and Mia ask. They point to the truck.
+
+"Sure, why not?" Mom says. She smiles and takes out some money. She buys two cones for Ben and Mia. One is chocolate and one is vanilla. They are cold and sweet.
+
+Ben and Mia lick their ice cream. They feel happy and cool. But the ice cream starts to melt. It drips on their hands and their uniform. It makes stains and spots. Ben and Mia try to eat faster. But they can't. The ice cream melts too much.
+
+"Oh no, look at our uniform!" Ben and Mia say. They are sad and messy. They don't look like a team anymore. They look like a mess.
+
+"Don't worry, it's okay," Mom says. She takes out some napkins and wipes their hands and faces. She says they can wash their uniform at home. She says they can still be a team. She hugs them and kisses them.
+
+Ben and Mia feel better. They love their mom. They love their ice cream. They don't mind their uniform. They are still twins. They are still a team.
+Sara and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to slide, swing and run. They saw a big tree with many leaves. They wanted to climb the tree and see what was up there.
+
+"Let's go, Sara!" Ben said. "Maybe we can find a bird or a squirrel."
+
+"OK, Ben!" Sara said. "But be careful. The tree is very high."
+
+They climbed the tree, holding on to the branches. They reached the top and looked around. They saw the sky, the clouds and the other trees. They also saw something shiny and yellow.
+
+"What is that, Ben?" Sara asked. "It looks like a star, but it is not night."
+
+"I don't know, Sara," Ben said. "Maybe it is a treasure. Let's go and see."
+
+They climbed closer to the shiny and yellow thing. It was hanging from a branch. It was a fancy necklace with a big yellow stone. It sparkled in the sun.
+
+"Wow, Sara," Ben said. "This is so pretty. Where did it come from?"
+
+"I don't know, Ben," Sara said. "Maybe someone left it here. Or maybe it appeared by magic."
+
+They heard a loud voice from below. It was a woman. She was angry and scared.
+
+"Help! Help!" she shouted. "Someone stole my necklace! It was a gift from my husband. It is very expensive and rare. Please, help me find it!"
+
+Sara and Ben looked at each other. They felt bad. They did not know the necklace belonged to someone. They did not want to make the woman sad. They decided to give it back to her.
+
+"Excuse me, miss," Sara said. "We found your necklace. We are sorry. We did not mean to take it. We thought it was a star."
+
+They threw the necklace down to the woman. She caught it and hugged it. She was happy and relieved.
+
+"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" she said. "You are very kind and honest. You saved my necklace. How can I thank you?"
+
+Sara and Ben smiled. They were glad they did the right thing.
+
+"It's OK, miss," Ben said. "We don't need anything. We just like to play and explore."
+
+They climbed down the tree and waved goodbye to the woman. They went back to the slide, the swing and the run. They had fun. They learned a lesson. They never took things that were not theirs. They always helped people who needed help. They were good friends.
+Ben had a bad fall from his bike. He hurt his arm and it was very sore. Mom took him to the hospital to see a doctor. The doctor was nice and said he needed to take a picture of his arm. He called it an x-ray.
+
+"What is an x-ray?" Ben asked.
+
+"It is a special kind of camera that can see inside your body. It can show me if your bones are broken or not," the doctor explained.
+
+Ben was curious and a little scared. He followed the doctor to a big machine. The doctor put a heavy coat on Ben and told him to hold still. He pressed a button and the machine made a beep.
+
+"Done! Let's go and look at your x-ray," the doctor said.
+
+They went to a room with a bright screen. The doctor put a film on the screen and turned on a light. Ben saw a weird picture of his arm. He could see his bones and his skin and his muscles.
+
+"Wow, that's me?" Ben said.
+
+"Yes, that's you. And look, your bones are not broken. You just have a bruise. You are very lucky," the doctor said.
+
+He gave Ben a bandage and a sticker. He told him to rest his arm and be careful. Ben thanked the doctor and smiled. He was happy that his arm was not broken. He was also happy that he got to see his x-ray. He thought it was very cool and weird. He wanted to show it to his friends.
+Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys. One day, they find a big box in the garage. They open the box and see many things inside. They see a camera, a hat, a ball, and a machine.
+
+"What is this?" Sara asks, pointing to the machine.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe it is a toy," Ben says.
+
+They take the machine out of the box. It has a screen, a button, and a hole. They see a word on the machine. It says "x-ray".
+
+"What is x-ray?" Sara asks.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe it is a game," Ben says.
+
+They turn on the machine. It makes a beep sound. They see a picture on the screen. It shows a bone.
+
+"Wow, look! It is a bone!" Sara says.
+
+"Maybe it is a dog bone. It is cute," Ben says.
+
+They want to see more bones. They put their toys in the hole. They see a teddy bear bone, a car bone, a doll bone. They laugh and clap.
+
+"Let's see our bones!" Sara says.
+
+"OK, let's do it!" Ben says.
+
+They take turns to put their hands in the hole. They see their hand bones on the screen. They giggle and smile.
+
+"Look, we have bones too!" Sara says.
+
+"Maybe we are dogs. We are cute," Ben says.
+
+They want to see more of their bones. They put their heads in the hole. They press the button. They see their skull bones on the screen. They scream and cry.
+
+"Help, help! We have no face!" Sara says.
+
+"Help, help! We have no eyes!" Ben says.
+
+They try to pull their heads out of the hole. But they are stuck. The machine makes a loud noise. It sparks and smokes. It breaks and stops.
+
+Sara and Ben are trapped. They have no face. They have no eyes. They are not cute. They are not dogs. They are not happy. They are scared. They are hurt. They are sorry.
+One day, Ben and Lily went to the park with their mom. They saw a big truck with a sign that said "Baker Bob's Pastries". Mom said they could each have one pastry as a treat.
+
+They walked up to the truck and saw many kinds of pastries. There were round ones, long ones, and ones with sprinkles. Ben liked the ones with chocolate, and Lily liked the ones with jam. They told Baker Bob what they wanted, and he smiled and gave them their pastries.
+
+"Thank you, Baker Bob!" they said.
+
+"You're welcome, kids. Enjoy your pastries!" he said.
+
+Ben and Lily sat on a bench and ate their pastries. They were very yummy and sweet. Ben finished his pastry first, and licked his fingers. He looked at Lily, who still had some of her pastry left.
+
+"Can I have some of your pastry, Lily?" he asked.
+
+"No, Ben. This is my pastry. You had yours already," Lily said.
+
+"But I'm still hungry, and yours looks so good," Ben said.
+
+"Too bad, Ben. You should have eaten slower," Lily said.
+
+Ben felt sad and angry. He wanted some of Lily's pastry. He tried to grab it from her, but she held it tight. They started to pull and tug on the pastry.
+
+"Stop it, Ben! Let go of my pastry!" Lily shouted.
+
+"No, give me some of your pastry!" Ben shouted.
+
+They were so loud and busy that they did not see a big dog coming. The dog smelled the pastry and ran towards them. He jumped on the bench and snatched the pastry from their hands. He ran away with it, wagging his tail.
+
+Ben and Lily were shocked and scared. They looked at each other and started to cry.
+
+"Mommy, mommy, a dog took our pastry!" they sobbed.
+
+Mom heard them and ran to them. She hugged them and comforted them.
+
+"I'm sorry, kids. That was a bad dog. He should not have taken your pastry," she said.
+
+"Can we have another pastry, mommy?" they asked.
+
+"No, kids. That was your only pastry for today. Maybe next time, you can share your pastry with each other, and eat it nicely. That way, you can both be happy, and no dog will take it away," she said.
+
+Ben and Lily nodded. They learned their lesson. They said sorry to each other, and gave each other a hug. They decided to play on the swings instead, and had fun. They were still friends, and they still loved pastries. But they also learned to be kind and generous, and not to fight over them. They were mighty good kids.
+Sara and Ben are playing on the beach. They like to find shells and make patterns in the sand. Sara has a big shell that is pink and shiny. Ben has a small shell that is brown and dull.
+
+"Look at my shell, Sara. It is so pretty and smooth. I like it a lot," Sara says.
+
+"Your shell is fine, Sara. But my shell is better. It is small and hard. I can use it to dig and make holes," Ben says.
+
+They start to argue about whose shell is better. They do not want to share or trade. They get angry and sad.
+
+Then they see a big wave coming. It is very fast and loud. It splashes on the beach and covers their shells with water. Sara and Ben are scared. They run away from the wave and hold each other.
+
+When the wave goes away, they look for their shells. But they cannot find them. The wave has taken them away. Sara and Ben are very sad. They have lost their shells.
+
+They start to cry. They hug each other and say they are sorry. They do not care about whose shell is better. They only care about each other.
+
+They decide to look for new shells together. They find many shells of different colors and shapes. They share and trade and make patterns in the sand. They are happy and have fun.
+
+They learn that shells are nice, but friends are nicer. They also learn that waves can increase and take things away. They are careful and watch the water. They have a fine day on the beach.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play outside. Today, they go to the park with Anna's mom. They see a big pond with water and ducks.
+
+"Look, ducks!" Ben says. He runs to the pond. He wants to feed the ducks.
+
+"Wait, Ben!" Anna says. She follows him. She is careful. She knows the water is deep and wet. She does not want to fall in.
+
+Ben stops at the edge of the pond. He throws some bread to the ducks. The ducks come closer. They quack and eat the bread.
+
+Anna skips to Ben. She has a bag of bread too. She gives some to Ben. They share the bread. They feed the ducks together. They are happy.
+
+Anna's mom watches them. She smiles. She is proud of Anna and Ben. They are good friends. They are dependable. They help each other and share. She thinks they will have more fun in the park. She joins them and skips with them. They all laugh and enjoy the sun.
+Anna likes to sign. She signs to her mom and dad and her baby brother. She signs when she is happy, sad, hungry, or sleepy. She signs when she wants to play, read, or sing.
+
+One day, Anna goes to the park with her mom. She sees a big slide. She signs to her mom that she wants to slide. Her mom nods and smiles. Anna runs to the slide. She climbs up the steps. She sits on the top. She signs to her mom that she is ready.
+
+Anna slides down the slide. She feels the wind in her hair. She feels the sun on her face. She feels the fun in her tummy. She is very happy. She signs to her mom that she loves her.
+
+But then, Anna slides too fast. She reaches the end of the slide. She flies off the slide. She falls on the ground. She hurts her knee. She cries. She signs to her mom that she is hurt.
+
+Her mom runs to Anna. She picks her up. She hugs her. She kisses her knee. She tells her that she is okay. She tells her that she is brave. She tells her that she loves her. Anna stops crying. She signs to her mom that she loves her too. She signs that she wants to slide again. Her mom laughs. She signs that they can slide again. They are happy.

+Lily was a little girl who liked to sleep a lot. She did not like to wake up early in the morning. She always wanted to stay in her bed and dream.
+
+One day, her mother came to her room and said, "Lily, it is time to wake up. You have to go to school today. You will learn many new things and play with your friends."
+
+Lily groaned and pulled the blanket over her head. She said, "No, I do not want to wake up. I want to sleep more. Why do I have to go to school?"
+
+Her mother smiled and gave her a gentle kiss on her cheek. She said, "Lily, I know you like to sleep, but you also need to learn and grow. School is a place where you can ask questions and find answers. You can also have fun and make friends. Do you not like to ask questions and find answers?"
+
+Lily thought for a moment. She remembered that she liked to ask questions and find answers. She liked to know why the sky was blue, why the birds could fly, why the flowers smelled nice. She also liked to have fun and make friends. She liked to play games, sing songs, draw pictures, and share stories.
+
+She peeked out from under the blanket and said, "Yes, I do like to ask questions and find answers. I also like to have fun and make friends. Maybe school is not so bad after all."
+
+Her mother nodded and said, "That's right, Lily. School is a good place for you. Now, come on, let's get ready. You do not want to be late, do you?"
+
+Lily shook her head and got out of her bed. She put on her clothes, brushed her teeth, and ate her breakfast. She hugged her mother and said, "Thank you, mommy, for waking me up. I am ready to go to school now."
+
+Her mother hugged her back and said, "You are welcome, Lily. I am proud of you. Have a good day at school. I love you."

+

+
+Tom is not sure. He says, "But what if he has a big needle or a loud drill? What if he makes me open my mouth very wide?" Sam says, "He will not do that.

+
+"Ben, you have to eat your soup. It is good for you," Mom says.
+
+"I don't want soup. I want sandwich," Ben says.
+
+"You can have a sandwich after you finish your soup," Dad says.
+
+Ben shakes his head and crosses his arms. He does not want to eat anything. He sees a napkin on the table and picks it up. He starts to tear it into small pieces and throw them in the air. He thinks it is fun and interesting.
+
+"Ben, stop that. You are making a mess," Mom says.
+
+"Look, Mom, snow!" Ben says, laughing.
+
+"That is not snow, that is napkin. You are wasting napkin and you have to clean it up," Dad says.
+
+Sara watches Ben and thinks he is silly and naughty. She finishes her sandwich and juice and asks for more. She likes to eat and she is hungry.
+
+"Can I have more sandwich, please?" Sara says.
+
+"Sure, Sara, you can have more sandwich. You are a good eater," Mom says.
+
+She gives Sara another half of a sandwich and smiles. She wishes Ben would eat his soup and be a good eater too. She hopes he will stop playing with the napkin and listen to her and Dad. She thinks he needs a nap.

+Sam loved to read books. He read books about animals, cars, stars and more. He read every day, even when it was dark or rainy. He had many books, but his favorite book was about clouds. He liked to learn the names of different clouds and what they meant.
+
+One day, Sam went to the park with his mom. He brought his cloud book with him. He wanted to see if he could find the clouds in the sky. He looked up and saw many clouds. He saw white clouds, gray clouds, fluffy clouds and thin clouds. He opened his book and matched the clouds to the pictures.
+
+He was very happy, until he saw a cloud that he did not know. It was a big, round, colorful cloud. It had red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple stripes. It looked like a rainbow, but it was not a rainbow. It was a cloud. Sam was confused. He looked in his book, but he could not find the cloud. He asked his mom, but she did not know either.
+
+Sam was curious. He wanted to know more about the cloud. He wondered if it was a rare cloud, or a magic cloud, or a special cloud. He wished he could touch it, or talk to it, or read about it. He stared at the cloud for a long time, until it started to move. It moved closer and closer to Sam, until it was right above him. Then, something amazing happened.
+
+The cloud spoke to Sam. It said, "Hello, little reader. I am a cloud, but not a normal cloud. I am a book cloud. I have stories inside me, and I can share them with you. I travel around the world, looking for children who love to read. You are one of them. Do you want to hear a story?"
+
+Sam was surprised and excited. He nodded his head and said, "Yes, please!" The cloud smiled and said, "Then, listen carefully. I will tell you a story that you will never forget. A story about a boy who loved to read, and a cloud who loved to tell stories. A story about you and me." And then, the cloud began to tell Sam a wonderful story. A story that only they could hear. A story that made them both happy. A story that was rare and beautiful, like the cloud itself.
+Lily was a little squirrel who loved to find acorns. She liked to hide them in her nest for winter. One day, she saw a big shiny acorn on a branch. She wanted it very much. She climbed up the tree and reached for the acorn.
+
+"Be careful, Lily!" said her brother Max, who was watching from another tree. "That acorn is too high and too delicate. It might fall and break."
+
+Lily did not listen to Max. She wanted the acorn. She tried to grab it with her paws. But the acorn was too slippery and too heavy. It slipped from her paws and fell to the ground. Lily was sad.
+
+She looked down and saw the acorn. It was not shiny anymore. It was cracked and smashed. She saw a big snake slithering towards the acorn. She was scared.
+
+"Help, Max!" she cried. "There is a snake!"
+
+Max heard Lily and ran to help her. He jumped from his tree and landed on the snake. He bit the snake and scared it away. He saved Lily from the snake.
+
+But he was too late to save the acorn. The acorn was gone. The snake had eaten it. Lily and Max were sad. They had lost the acorn and their lunch. They learned a lesson. They should not try to get things that are too high and too delicate. They should listen to each other and be careful.
+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the garden. One day, they see a big red strawberry on a plant. They want to eat it.
+
+"Can we have the strawberry?" Lily asks Tom.
+
+"Yes, but we need to wash it first. It is dirty from the dirt and the bugs," Tom says.
+
+They run to the tap and turn it on. They hear the water splash. They hold the strawberry under the water and rub it gently. They see the dirt and the bugs go away. The strawberry is clean and shiny.
+
+"Yum, it looks good!" Lily says.
+
+They take a bite of the strawberry. It is sweet and juicy. They hear a bird sing. They smile and share the strawberry. They are happy.
+Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big tree with a long trunk and many branches. They wanted to climb the tree and see the birds and the sky.
+
+They asked their mom if they could climb the tree. Mom said yes, but be careful and don't break anything. Ben and Lily said okay and ran to the tree. They found a low branch and pulled themselves up. They felt happy and excited.
+
+They climbed higher and higher, until they reached the top of the tree. They saw many birds and clouds and other trees. They felt like they were flying. They laughed and shouted and waved to their mom.
+
+But then, Ben saw a thin branch that looked like a snake. He wanted to touch it and see what it felt like. He reached out his hand and grabbed the branch. But the branch was too weak and it snapped. Ben heard a loud crack and felt the branch fall. He looked down and saw the branch on the ground. He felt scared and guilty.
+
+He quickly climbed down the tree and ran to his mom. He told her what he did and said he was sorry. Mom looked at the branch and at Ben. She was not angry, but she was sad. She said, "Ben, you should not have broken the branch. The branch was part of the tree and the tree is alive. The branch helped the tree grow and make food and shade. Now the tree is hurt and it might get sick. You should respect the tree and all living things. They are not toys, they are friends."
+
+Ben felt ashamed and sorry. He said, "Mom, I didn't know. I was curious and I wanted to have fun. I didn't mean to hurt the tree. I'm sorry, tree. I'm sorry, mom. I won't do it again."
+
+Mom hugged Ben and said, "I know, Ben. I know you didn't mean to hurt the tree. But you have to be careful and think before you act. You have to learn from your mistake and be more gentle and kind. Can you do that?"
+
+Ben nodded and said, "Yes, mom. I can do that. I will do that."
+
+Mom smiled and said, "That's good, Ben. That's very good. Come on, let's go and find Lily and see if she wants to play something else. Maybe we can feed the birds or make a flower crown or draw a picture of the tree. What do you think?"
+
+Ben smiled and said, "That sounds fun, mom. That sounds very fun. Let's go."
+
+They held hands and walked to the tree. They saw Lily waiting for them. She had a big smile and a leaf in her hand. She said, "Look, mom. Look, Ben. I found a leaf that looks like a heart. Isn't it pretty?"
+
+Mom and Ben looked at the leaf and agreed. It was very pretty. They thanked Lily for sharing it with them. They said, "You are very sweet, Lily. You are very sweet."
+
+They hugged and kissed and said they loved each other. Then they played and had fun in the park. They were happy and grateful. They learned to love and respect the tree and all living things. They learned a valuable lesson. They learned to snap out of their bad habits and snap into their good ones. They learned to be good children.
+Lily liked to wear her red hat. It was big and warm and had a fluffy ball on top. She wore it every day, even when it was hot. She thought it made her look cool and funny.
+
+One day, she saw a boy playing a trumpet in the park. He made loud and crazy sounds with his mouth and fingers. Lily wanted to try it too. She ran to the boy and asked, "Can I play your trumpet?"
+
+The boy said, "No, this is mine. Go away." He did not like Lily's red hat. He thought it was silly and ugly.
+
+Lily was sad and angry. She did not like the boy. She wanted to play the trumpet. She had an idea. She grabbed the trumpet from the boy's hands and ran away. She put it on her mouth and blew hard.
+
+But the trumpet was too big and heavy for Lily. She could not make any sound. She tripped and fell on the ground. The trumpet hit her face and hurt her. She started to cry.
+
+The boy ran after Lily and took back his trumpet. He said, "Ha ha, you are a bad girl. You can't play the trumpet. You can only wear your stupid hat." He laughed and walked away.
+
+Lily was hurt and sad. She wished she had not taken the trumpet. She wished she had a friend who liked her red hat. She wished she had a better day.
+Lily and Ben were having a tea party with their stuffed animals. They put on their fancy hats and dresses and set up a small table with cups and plates. They poured water from a big pot into the cups and pretended it was tea. They also had some cookies and jam to eat.
+
+"Would you like some more tea, Mr. Bear?" Lily asked, holding a teaspoon.
+
+"Yes, please, Lily. You are a very good hostess," Mr. Bear said in a deep voice. Ben made Mr. Bear talk with his hand.
+
+"Thank you, Mr. Bear. How about you, Mrs. Bunny? Do you want some more tea?" Lily asked, turning to the pink bunny on her lap.
+
+"No, thank you, Lily. I am full. But I would like some more jam, please," Mrs. Bunny said in a high voice. Lily made Mrs. Bunny talk with her hand.
+
+"Here you go, Mrs. Bunny. Be careful, the jam is sticky," Lily said, handing her a spoon with some jam on it.
+
+Lily and Ben enjoyed their tea party very much. They talked and laughed with their stuffed animals and ate all the cookies and jam. They did not notice that their little brother, Max, was watching them from behind the couch. Max was bored and wanted to join the fun. He saw the big pot of water on the floor and had an idea.
+
+He crawled quietly to the pot and picked it up. It was heavy, but he managed to lift it. He smiled and walked towards the table. He wanted to surprise Lily and Ben and make them laugh. He did not know that the water was hot.
+
+As he got closer to the table, he tripped on a toy car and fell. The pot slipped from his hands and flew in the air. The water splashed everywhere, on the table, on the cups, on the plates, on the cookies, on the jam, on the stuffed animals, on Lily, on Ben, and on Max.
+
+Lily and Ben screamed. They felt the hot water on their skin and clothes. They jumped from their chairs and ran to their mom, who was in the kitchen. Max cried too. He was wet and scared and sorry.
+
+Mom heard the noise and came to see what happened. She saw the mess and the water and the children. She was shocked and angry and worried.
+
+"What did you do, Max?" she asked, picking him up and checking him for burns.
+
+"I wanted to play, Mom. I wanted to make them laugh," Max sobbed.
+
+"You could have hurt yourself and your siblings, Max. You should never touch the pot or the water. They are hot and dangerous. You should always ask before you join a game. Do you understand?" Mom said, sternly but gently.
+
+"Yes, Mom. I understand. I'm sorry, Mom. I'm sorry, Lily. I'm sorry, Ben," Max said, looking at his sister and brother with big, sad eyes.
+
+Lily and Ben were still upset, but they also felt sorry for Max. They knew he did not mean to ruin their tea party. They hugged him and forgave him.
+
+"It's okay, Max. We love you. But next time, please be careful and ask first," Lily said.
+
+"Yeah, Max. We love you. But next time, please don't lean on the pot or the water. They are hot and dangerous," Ben said.
+
+Mom smiled and hugged them all. She was glad they were not hurt and they learned a lesson. She cleaned up the mess and made them some real tea and cookies. They had another tea party, this time with Max and Mom. They put on their fancy hats and dresses again and set up a new table with cups and plates. They poured tea from a safe kettle into the cups and ate the cookies. They also had some ice cream and honey to cool down and cheer up. They talked and laughed with each other and had a lot of fun. They did not need any stuffed animals or teaspoons to have a good time. They had each other.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play outside. Today is a warm day. The sun is bright and the sky is blue. Lily and Ben want to go to the park.
+
+They ask their moms if they can go. Their moms say yes, but they have to hold hands and be careful. Lily and Ben are happy. They put on their hats and shoes and go outside. They hold hands and walk to the park.
+
+The park is big and green. There are many things to do. There are swings and slides and a sandbox. There are also flowers and trees and birds. Lily and Ben enter the park. They see other kids playing. They say hello and join them.
+
+Lily likes the swings. She sits on one and pushes with her feet. She goes higher and higher. She feels the wind in her hair and the sun on her face. She laughs and says, "Whee!"
+
+Ben likes the slides. He climbs up the ladder and slides down. He goes fast and smooth. He feels the air on his skin and the grass under his feet. He smiles and says, "Yay!"
+
+Lily and Ben have fun at the park. They play with the other kids and try different things. They also share and take turns. They are good friends. They are happy.
+Tom and Sue live on a big farm with their dad and mom. They like to help with the animals and the plants. One day, dad tells them they will change the wheat into bread. Tom and Sue are jolly. They want to see how wheat becomes bread.
+
+They go with dad to the field where the wheat grows. The wheat is tall and yellow. Dad cuts some wheat with a big knife. He puts the wheat in a big basket. He tells Tom and Sue to carry the basket to the barn. They are strong and careful. They do not drop the basket.
+
+In the barn, dad has a big machine. He puts the wheat in the machine. The machine makes a loud noise. It shakes and spins. It breaks the wheat into small pieces. Dad calls the pieces flour. He tells Tom and Sue to take some flour to the kitchen. They are curious and happy. They do not spill the flour.
+
+In the kitchen, mom has a big bowl. She puts the flour in the bowl. She adds some water, some salt, some sugar, and some yeast. She mixes everything with a big spoon. She tells Tom and Sue to knead the dough. They use their hands and fingers. They have fun and make a mess. They do not mind.
+
+Mom puts the dough in a big pan. She puts the pan in the oven. She tells Tom and Sue to wait for a while. They smell something good. They are hungry and excited. They do not get bored.
+
+Mom takes the pan out of the oven. She shows Tom and Sue the bread. The bread is brown and soft. It is hot and steamy. She cuts some slices and gives them to Tom and Sue. They put some butter and jam on the bread. They taste the bread. It is delicious and sweet. They are proud and thankful. They do not want to stop.
+
+Tom and Sue change the wheat into bread. They have a jolly day. They love their dad and mom. They love their farm. They love their bread.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to look for rocks and make shapes with them. Tom found a big rock that was round and smooth. He was very happy.
+
+"Look, Lily, I found a big rock!" he said. "I want to own it. It is my rock."
+
+Lily looked at the rock. She liked it too. She wanted to own it as well. She felt sad.
+
+"But I want the rock too, Tom," she said. "Can we share it? It is a nice rock."
+
+Tom shook his head. He did not want to share. He held the rock tight in his hands. He said, "No, Lily, it is my rock. You can find another rock. Go away."
+
+Lily felt very sad. She did not want to go away. She wanted to play with Tom and the rock. She started to cry. She said, "Tom, you are mean. You are not my friend."
+
+Tom felt a little bad. He saw that Lily was crying. He did not like to see her cry. He thought for a moment. He said, "Lily, I am sorry. I was mean. You can own the rock too. We can be friends."
+
+Lily stopped crying. She smiled. She said, "Thank you, Tom. You are nice. We can be friends."
+
+They hugged each other. They decided to make a cake with the rock. They put some grass and flowers on it. They pretended to eat it. They had fun. They were happy.
+Tom and Jen are friends. They like to play in the snow. They make a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They give him a carrot nose and two dull buttons for eyes.
+
+"Look, our snowman is happy!" Jen says.
+
+"Yes, he is. But he is also cold. Let's give him a cookie to warm him up," Tom says.
+
+They run to the house and ask mom for a cookie. Mom gives them two cookies, one for them and one for the snowman. They say thank you and run back to the snowman.
+
+They break the cookie in half and put one half in the snowman's mouth. They eat the other half and smile.
+
+"Yum, this cookie is good. Do you think the snowman likes it too?" Jen asks.
+
+"I don't know. Let's ask him," Tom says.
+
+They lean close to the snowman and say, "Hello, Mr. Snowman. Do you like the cookie we gave you?"
+
+But the snowman does not answer. He does not move. He does not blink. He just stands there, frozen.
+
+"Mr. Snowman, can you hear us?" Jen says.
+
+But the snowman does not answer. He does not make a sound. He just stands there, frozen.
+
+"Maybe he is shy. Or maybe he is sleeping," Tom says.
+
+"Or maybe he is just a snowman," Jen says.
+
+They look at each other and laugh. They hug the snowman and say, "We love you, Mr. Snowman. You are our friend."
+
+They play with the snowman until it is time to go inside. They say goodbye and promise to come back tomorrow. They hope the snowman will not melt. They hope he will not be lonely. They hope he will enjoy the cookie.
+Anna loves to cook with her mom. They make cakes and pies and soup and bread. Anna likes to stir and pour and taste. Mom likes to teach and smile and hug.
+
+One day, Anna and mom are cooking a big cake for dad's birthday. They mix flour and eggs and sugar and butter in a big bowl. Anna helps mom put the bowl in the oven. Mom says, "Be careful, Anna. The oven is very hot. Don't touch it with your arm or you will get hurt."
+
+Anna nods and says, "Okay, mom. I will be careful." She watches the cake bake in the oven. She sees it rise and turn brown and smell good. She says, "Mom, the cake is beautiful. Dad will love it."
+
+Mom says, "Yes, Anna. The cake is beautiful. And you are beautiful, too. You are a good helper and a good daughter. I love you very much."
+
+Anna says, "I love you, too, mom. You are the best mom in the world. Can we put icing and sprinkles on the cake?"
+
+Mom says, "Of course, Anna. Let's do that. But first, we have to wait for the cake to cool down. Then we can decorate it and surprise dad."
+
+Anna says, "Yay! I can't wait to see dad's face when he sees the cake. He will be so happy."
+
+Mom says, "Me too, Anna. Me too." They hug and laugh and wait for the cake to cool down. They are happy and excited. They love to cook together.
+Lily liked to play with her shadow. She made funny shapes with her hands and feet and watched her shadow copy her. She pretended her shadow was her friend and talked to it.
+
+One day, Lily noticed that her shadow was weak. It was not dark and clear like before. It was faint and blurry. Lily was sad. She wanted to fix her shadow.
+
+She asked her mom, "Mom, why is my shadow weak? How can I fix it?"
+
+Her mom smiled and said, "Your shadow is weak because the sun is low. It is almost time for bed. When the sun is high, your shadow is strong. When the sun is low, your shadow is weak. You can't fix it, but you can wait for tomorrow."
+
+Lily nodded. She understood. She said, "Okay, mom. I will wait for tomorrow. Then I can play with my shadow again."
+
+She gave her mom a hug and went to bed. She dreamed of her shadow and the funny shapes they would make. She was happy.
+Lily and Ben were at the park. They liked to play on the slide. It was big and shiny and fast. They took turns to go down the slide and laugh.
+
+But one day, they saw a new boy at the park. He had an ugly face and mean eyes. He pushed Lily and Ben and said, "This is my slide. Go away!"
+
+Lily and Ben were scared and sad. They did not want to fight. They looked for another place to play.
+
+But the new boy followed them. He kicked their sandcastle and threw their ball. He said, "You are stupid and boring. I don't like you!"
+
+Lily and Ben were angry and hurt. They wanted to tell him to stop. They looked for a grown-up to help.
+
+But the new boy did not see the sharp rock on the ground. He tripped and fell. He cut his knee and cried. He said, "Ow! Ow! Ow! It hurts!"
+
+Lily and Ben saw him. They felt sorry for him. They ran to him and said, "Are you okay? Do you need a band-aid?"
+
+The new boy looked at them. He was surprised and ashamed. He said, "I'm sorry. I was mean to you. I don't have any friends. Can we play together?"
+
+Lily and Ben smiled and nodded. They said, "Yes, we can. We can share the slide and the sand and the ball. We can be friends."
+
+The new boy smiled and said, "Thank you. You are nice and fun. I like you."
+
+They helped him up and went to the slide. They took turns to go down the slide and laugh. They had a good time. They were happy.
+Anna and Ben were playing in the park with their mom. They liked to swing, slide and run on the grass. Mom had a camera and took many pictures of them. She wanted to remember their happy faces.
+
+But then, Ben saw a big dog near the fence. He was scared of dogs. He ran to mom and hugged her leg. "Mom, mom, dog!" he cried.
+
+Mom looked at the dog. It was not a bad dog. It was just curious and friendly. It wagged its tail and barked. "It's okay, Ben. The dog won't hurt you. He just wants to say hello. Look, Anna is petting him. Do you want to try?" she said.
+
+Anna was not afraid of dogs. She liked to touch their fur and ears. She was careless and did not see that the dog had a collar with a tag. The tag had a name and a phone number. It was someone's pet. She smiled at Ben and said, "Come on, Ben. The dog is nice. He likes us. Don't be scared."
+
+Ben looked at Anna and the dog. He wanted to be brave like his sister. He let go of mom's leg and walked slowly to the dog. He reached out his hand and touched the dog's head. The dog licked his hand and wagged his tail more. Ben felt happy and laughed. He was not scared anymore.
+
+Mom was proud of Ben. She took her camera and snapped a picture of Ben, Anna and the dog. She wanted to remember their brave faces. She also looked at the tag and called the number. She wanted to find the dog's owner. She hoped they were not worried. She comforted Ben and Anna and said, "You did a great job, kids. You made a new friend. But we have to say goodbye soon. The dog belongs to someone else. They are coming to get him. Let's give him a hug and a treat."
+Ben and Lily were playing with blocks in the living room. They liked to build towers and bridges and houses with the blocks. They had many colors and shapes of blocks to choose from.
+
+"Look, I made a big tower!" Ben said, showing Lily his creation. "It is taller than me!"
+
+"That is very good, Ben!" Lily said, clapping her hands. "Can I help you make it even taller?"
+
+"Yes, you can, Lily!" Ben said, smiling. "Here, take this block and put it on top."
+
+Lily took the block and reached up to place it on the tower. But just as she was about to do that, she felt a tickle in her nose. She tried to hold it in, but she could not. She sneezed loudly and the block flew out of her hand. It hit the tower and made it fall down. The blocks scattered all over the floor.
+
+"Oh no!" Ben said, looking at the mess. "You sneezed and broke my tower!"
+
+"I'm sorry, Ben!" Lily said, wiping her nose. "I did not mean to sneeze and break your tower. It was an accident!"
+
+Ben was sad and angry at first, but then he saw that Lily was sorry and sad too. He did not want to make her feel worse. He remembered that sneezing was not something she could control. He also remembered that they had many more blocks to play with.
+
+"It's okay, Lily," Ben said, giving her a hug. "We can build another tower together. Maybe we can make it even bigger and better than before!"
+
+"Really?" Lily said, brightening up. "Do you still want to play with me?"
+
+"Of course I do, Lily!" Ben said, taking her hand. "You are my best friend!"
+
+They picked up the blocks and started to build again. They had fun and forgot about the sneeze and the broken tower. They did not notice that their dad was watching them from the couch. He was bald and had a big beard. He smiled and felt proud of his children. He thought they were very kind and smart. He loved them very much.
+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play and learn new things. One day, they go to the park with their moms. They see a big brown dog. The dog is friendly and wags its tail.
+
+"Can we pet the dog, mom?" Lily asks.
+
+"Sure, but ask the owner first," her mom says.
+
+They walk to the lady who has the dog. She smiles and says, "Hello, this is Max. He is a good boy. Do you want to pet him?"
+
+"Yes, please," Lily and Tom say.
+
+They gently stroke Max's fur. He licks their hands and makes them giggle.
+
+"What are you eating, lady?" Tom asks. He sees a green thing in her mouth.
+
+"This is a mint. It is a plant that makes your breath fresh and cool. Do you want to try one?" she says.
+
+She takes out a small tin and opens it. She gives Lily and Tom each a mint. They put it in their mouths and feel a tingling sensation.
+
+"Mmm, this is yummy and funny," Lily says.
+
+"It is like ice and candy," Tom says.
+
+They thank the lady and say goodbye to Max. They run back to their moms.
+
+"Mom, we petted a brown dog and ate a mint," Lily says.
+
+"Mom, we learned a new word and a new plant," Tom says.
+
+Their moms are proud of them. They hug them and say, "You are very smart and curious. You like to study and explore. We love you very much."
+Lily was a little girl who liked to help her mom at the hospital. Her mom was a nurse who took care of sick people. Lily liked to wear a white coat and a badge like her mom. She also liked to play with the staff, who were very nice to her.
+
+One day, Lily saw a big door with a lock. She was curious and wanted to see what was behind it. She asked her mom, "Mom, what is in there?"
+
+Her mom said, "That is the storage room, Lily. It has a lot of things we need for the hospital, like medicine and bandages and masks. But we have to keep it locked, because some of the things are not safe for children. You cannot go in there, okay?"
+
+Lily nodded, but she still wanted to peek inside. She saw a key on a hook near the door. She thought, maybe I can just unlock the door and look for a second. She reached for the key, but she was too short. She climbed on a chair and grabbed the key. She put it in the lock and turned it. The door opened.
+
+Lily was happy. She walked into the storage room and saw a lot of boxes and shelves. She wanted to explore and touch everything. She did not see the sign that said, "Danger! Do not touch!"
+
+She saw a bottle with a colorful label. She thought, maybe this is juice. She opened the bottle and smelled it. It smelled bad. She felt dizzy and sick. She dropped the bottle and it broke. The liquid spilled on the floor and made a big mess.
+
+Lily was scared. She wanted her mom. She ran to the door and tried to open it. But it was locked. She had left the key inside. She started to cry.
+
+She cried, "Mom! Mom! Help me!"
+
+Her mom heard her cry. She ran to the door and saw the key in the lock. She unlocked the door and saw Lily. She also saw the broken bottle and the spilled liquid. She was shocked and angry.
+
+She said, "Lily, what have you done? This is very dangerous! You could have hurt yourself or someone else! You should never go into the storage room without permission! You should never touch anything you don't know! You should never play with the key!"
+
+Lily was sorry. She said, "I'm sorry, Mom. I was curious. I wanted to see. I didn't mean to make a mess. I didn't mean to be bad."
+
+Her mom hugged her and said, "I'm glad you are okay, Lily. But you have to be more careful and listen to me. The storage room is not a place for children. The key is not a toy. The staff and I work hard to keep the hospital safe and clean. We need your help, not your trouble."
+
+Lily nodded and said, "I understand, Mom. I won't do it again. I love you, Mom. I'm grateful for you and the staff."
+
+Her mom smiled and said, "I love you too, Lily. I'm grateful for you too. But now we have to clean up this mess and tell the staff what happened. Come on, let's go."
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the valley near their home. The valley has many flowers, trees and animals. Anna and Ben like to sort the flowers by color and shape. They make bouquets and crowns with them.
+
+One day, they see a big, wild cat in the valley. The cat has spots and sharp teeth. It looks hungry and angry. Anna and Ben are scared. They hide behind a big rock and whisper to each other.
+
+"Ben, what is that cat?" Anna asks.
+
+"I don't know, Anna. It is not like our cat at home. It is wild and dangerous. We should go back to our home." Ben says.
+
+"But how can we go back? The cat is blocking the way. It might see us and chase us." Anna says.
+
+"Maybe we can distract it. Look, there are some nuts on that tree. We can throw them at the cat and make some noise. Then we can run away when it looks away." Ben says.
+
+"OK, let's try that. But be careful, Ben. Don't get too close to the cat." Anna says.
+
+They pick up some nuts and throw them at the cat. The cat hears the noise and turns its head. It sees the nuts and sniffs them. It is curious and walks towards the tree. Anna and Ben seize the chance and run away. They leave their flowers behind. They don't care. They just want to be safe.
+
+They reach their home and hug their parents. They tell them what they saw in the valley. Their parents are shocked and glad that they are OK. They tell them not to go to the valley again. They say that the cat is a leopard and that it is very rare and wild. They say that they will call the animal people to help the leopard find a new home.
+
+Anna and Ben nod and promise to listen to their parents. They are happy to be home. They cuddle with their cat and forget about the wild cat in the valley.
+Anna and Ben were eager to see the rhinoceros at the zoo. They had never seen such a big animal with a horn on its nose. They ran to the fence and looked for the rhinoceros, but they could not find it.
+
+"Where is it?" Anna asked.
+
+"Maybe it is hiding," Ben said.
+
+They waited and waited, but the rhinoceros did not come out. They were sad and bored. They wanted to see something else.
+
+"Let's go and see the monkeys," Anna said.
+
+"OK," Ben said.
+
+They turned around and started to walk away. But then they heard a loud noise. It was the rhinoceros. It had changed its mind and decided to come out. It saw Anna and Ben and got angry. It did not like people. It charged at the fence and broke it with its horn. It ran after Anna and Ben.
+
+"Run!" Anna screamed.
+
+"Help!" Ben cried.
+
+They ran as fast as they could, but the rhinoceros was faster. It caught up with them and knocked them down with its horn. It hurt them very much. They cried and bled. No one came to help them. The rhinoceros was happy. It had scared away the people. It went back to its place and lay down. Anna and Ben did not get up. They were dead.
+Ben and Mia like to play with blocks. They make towers and bridges and houses with the blocks. Sometimes they count the blocks and say the numbers out loud.
+
+One day, they find a big piece of cheese in the kitchen. It is yellow and soft and smells good. They want to eat the cheese, but they have an idea. They take the cheese and some blocks to the living room.
+
+"Let's make a cheese tower!" Ben says. He puts a block on the floor and then a piece of cheese on top. He repeats this until he has a tall tower.
+
+"Wow, that's a big tower!" Mia says. She wants to make one too. She takes some blocks and cheese and starts to build next to Ben.
+
+They are having fun, but they don't see that the cheese is melting. The cheese gets sticky and gooey and drips on the floor. The towers start to wobble and lean.
+
+"Oh no, our towers are broken!" Ben says. He tries to save his tower, but it falls down with a loud crash. Cheese and blocks fly everywhere.
+
+"Oops, we made a mess!" Mia says. She looks at the cheese and blocks on the floor and on the couch and on the table. She feels sorry.
+
+They hear their mom coming. She sees the cheese and blocks and the mess. She is not happy.
+
+"Ben, Mia, what did you do?" she asks. She sounds angry.
+
+"We made cheese towers, mom," Ben says. He points to the broken towers.
+
+"We wanted to count the cheese and the blocks, mom," Mia says. She shows her fingers.
+
+They look at their mom with big eyes. They hope she is not too mad. They know they have to clean up. They wonder if they can still eat some cheese.
+Tom and Mia like to play outside. They run and jump and laugh. They see a big hill with green grass. They want to go up the hill and see what is on the other side.
+
+They hold hands and start to climb the hill. It is hard and steep. They have to use their feet and their hands. They are almost at the top when Tom feels something wet and slippery under his foot. He tries to stop, but he can't. He slips and falls down the hill. He rolls and rolls and rolls. He bumps into rocks and sticks and flowers. He yells and cries.
+
+Mia sees Tom fall. She is scared and sad. She wants to help him. She runs down the hill after him. She is careful not to slip. She reaches Tom at the bottom of the hill. He is dirty and hurt. He has scratches and bruises and tears. He is still crying.
+
+Mia hugs Tom and says, "It's okay, Tom. I'm here. You're safe." She helps him stand up and dusts him off. She picks some flowers and gives them to him. She says, "These are for you. They are pretty and smell good. They will make you happy."
+
+Tom smiles and says, "Thank you, Mia. You are a good friend. You make me happy." He gives her a flower too. He says, "This is for you. You are pretty and smell good. You make me comfortable."
+
+They walk back to their house, holding hands and flowers. They are happy and comfortable. They love each other and the earth. They are not afraid of the hill anymore. They want to play outside again.
+Lily was shy. She did not like to talk to new people. She liked to play with her toys and read her books. She had a bracelet that her mom gave her. It was pink and shiny and had a heart on it. She loved her bracelet very much.
+
+One day, Lily went to the park with her mom. There were many kids there. They were running and laughing and playing. Lily felt scared. She did not want to join them. She held her mom's hand and hid behind her.
+
+"Hello, what's your name?" a voice said. Lily looked up and saw a boy. He had brown hair and blue eyes and a big smile. He was holding a ball. He was not shy.
+
+Lily did not answer. She covered her mouth with her hand and looked away.
+
+The boy did not give up. He came closer and said, "Do you want to play with me? I have a ball. We can throw it and catch it. It's fun."
+
+Lily shook her head. She did not want to play. She wanted to go home.
+
+The boy saw her bracelet. He said, "Wow, that's a pretty bracelet. Where did you get it?"
+
+Lily looked at her bracelet. She was proud of it. She said, "My mom gave it to me. It's pink and shiny and has a heart on it."
+
+The boy said, "That's cool. I like pink and shiny things too. Can I see it?"
+
+Lily hesitated. She did not want to share her bracelet. But she also did not want to be rude. She said, "Okay, but be careful. Don't break it."
+
+The boy took her bracelet gently. He looked at it and said, "It's very nice. Thank you for showing me. Here, you can have it back."
+
+He gave her bracelet back to her. He said, "Do you want to be my friend? I'm Jake. What's your name?"
+
+Lily smiled. She felt less shy. She said, "I'm Lily. Yes, I want to be your friend."
+
+Jake said, "Great. Do you want to play with me now?"
+
+Lily nodded. She said, "Yes, I want to play with you. But can we play with my bracelet too?"
+
+Jake said, "Sure, we can play with your bracelet too. Come on, let's go."
+
+They ran to the playground. They threw the ball and caught it. They slid down the slide. They swung on the swings. They played with the bracelet. They had fun.
+
+Lily was not shy anymore. She had a new friend. She was happy.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big rope on the ground. Anna says, "Let's skip with the rope!"
+
+Ben nods and picks up one end of the rope. Anna picks up the other end. They swing the rope and say, "One, two, three, skip!"
+
+Anna and Ben skip over the rope. They are happy and fast. They count how many times they can skip. "Four, five, six, skip!"
+
+But then, Ben trips on the rope. He falls down and hurts his knee. He cries, "Ow, ow, ow!"
+
+Anna stops the rope and runs to Ben. She says, "Are you okay, Ben? I'm sorry, you are clumsy."
+
+Ben looks at Anna and says, "No, I'm not clumsy. You are clumsy. You made the rope too low."
+
+Anna says, "No, I didn't. You made the rope too high."
+
+They start to argue. They are not happy and fast. They are angry and slow.
+
+Then, they hear a voice. It is Mom. She says, "What are you doing, Anna and Ben? Why are you fighting?"
+
+Anna and Ben look at Mom. They feel ashamed. They say, "We were skipping with the rope. But we fell down and hurt ourselves. And we said mean words."
+
+Mom says, "Oh, I see. Skipping with the rope is fun, but you have to be careful and kind. Can you say sorry to each other?"
+
+Anna and Ben nod. They say, "Sorry, Anna. Sorry, Ben. We are friends."
+
+Mom says, "That's good. Now, how about we go home and have some cookies?"
+
+Anna and Ben smile. They say, "Yes, please!"
+
+They hug each other and hold Mom's hand. They leave the rope on the ground. They don't care how many times they can skip. They have zero skips, but they have one Mom and one friend. They are happy and fast again.
+Ben and Mia were twins. They liked to play in the park with their mom and dad. One day, they saw a big slide. They wanted to go on it.
+
+"Can we go on the slide, mom?" Ben asked.
+
+"Sure, but be careful. It is very high and fast," mom said.
+
+Ben and Mia ran to the slide. Ben went first. He climbed up the ladder and sat on the top. He looked down and felt scared.
+
+"Mia, you go first. You are strong," he said.
+
+"No, you go first. You are strong," Mia said.
+
+They argued for a long time. They did not see the dark clouds in the sky. They did not hear the thunder. They did not feel the rain.
+
+Soon, the rain was very heavy. It made the slide wet and slippery. It made the ladder shaky. It made the ground muddy.
+
+Mom and dad saw the rain and ran to the slide. They called Ben and Mia.
+
+"Ben, Mia, come down. It is raining. You will get sick," mom said.
+
+"Ben, Mia, hurry. It is dangerous. You will fall," dad said.
+
+But Ben and Mia did not listen. They were still arguing. They did not want to go first.
+
+Suddenly, a big wind came. It blew the slide. The slide moved and broke. Ben and Mia screamed. They fell down. They hit the ground. They got hurt.
+
+Mom and dad ran to them. They picked them up. They covered them with their jackets. They took them to the car. They drove to the hospital.
+
+Ben and Mia cried. They had cuts and bruises. They had pain. They had fever.
+
+They stayed in the hospital for a long time. They missed the park. They missed their toys. They missed their friends.
+
+They learned a lesson. They learned to be brave. They learned to be kind. They learned to listen. They learned to share.
+
+They said sorry to each other. They said sorry to mom and dad. They hugged and kissed.
+
+They hoped to get well soon. They hoped to play again. They hoped to be happy.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with balloons. One day, they find a big blue balloon in the park. They are very happy.
+
+"Look, Anna, a blue balloon!" Ben says.
+
+"Wow, it is so big and pretty!" Anna says.
+
+They take the balloon home and show it to their mom. Mom smiles and says, "That is a nice balloon. But be careful, do not pop it."
+
+Anna and Ben nod and go to their room. They play with the balloon for a long time. They toss it, catch it, hug it, and bounce it.
+
+But then, something strange happens. The balloon starts to grow bigger and bigger. It fills up the whole room. Anna and Ben are scared.
+
+"Mom, mom, help!" they shout.
+
+Mom hears them and runs to their room. She sees the huge balloon and gasps. She grabs a pin and pops the balloon. It makes a loud noise. The balloon shrinks and becomes a small piece of rubber.
+
+Anna and Ben are sad. They liked the blue balloon. Mom hugs them and says, "I'm sorry, my loves. The balloon was too big for our house. But don't worry, I have a surprise for you."
+
+She takes them to the kitchen and shows them a cake. It has blue frosting and two candles. It is their birthday!
+
+"Happy birthday, Anna and Ben!" Mom says.
+
+Anna and Ben smile and clap. They forget about the balloon. They are happy. They blow the candles and make a wish. They wish for more balloons. But not too big.
+Ben and Sam were brothers who lived on a farm. They liked to ride their bikes around the fields and see the animals. One day, their dad asked them to help him harvest the wheat. Wheat was a plant that made bread and other food.
+
+Ben said yes and got his bike. He wanted to help his dad and learn how to use the big machine that cut the wheat. Sam said no and stayed on his bed. He was lazy and did not want to work. He wanted to play with his toys and watch TV.
+
+Ben rode his bike to the field and met his dad. His dad showed him how to drive the machine and how to fill the bags with wheat. Ben had fun and felt proud. He saw the wheat turn into food for the farm and the people. He thanked his dad and rode his bike back home.
+
+Sam stayed on his bed all day. He played with his toys and watched TV. He got bored and hungry. He went to the kitchen and looked for some bread. He did not find any. He asked his mom where the bread was. His mom said there was no bread because they had to harvest the wheat first. She said Ben helped his dad and they would bring the wheat soon. She said Sam should have helped too and learned something useful.
+
+Sam felt ashamed and sorry. He realized he was lazy and selfish. He missed his brother and his dad. He wished he had ridden his bike to the field and helped them. He decided to change and be more helpful. He waited for them to come back and hugged them. He said he was sorry and he wanted to help next time. His dad and his brother forgave him and smiled. They shared some bread and told him about the wheat. Sam listened and learned. He was happy and grateful. He learned that work was good and fun, and that helping others was better than being lazy.
+Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big birdcage in the park. It is high and shiny. They want to see the birds inside.
+
+"Look, Tom, there are many birds in the cage. They are pretty and colorful. Can we play with them?" Lily asks.
+
+"I don't know, Lily. The cage is high. How can we reach it?" Tom says.
+
+They look around and see a bench. They have an idea. They move the bench near the cage. They climb on the bench. They are closer to the cage now.
+
+"Hello, birds. We are Tom and Lily. We want to play with you. Can you sing for us?" Lily says.
+
+Some of the birds look at them and chirp. They sound happy. Tom and Lily smile and clap. They try to imitate the birds' sounds. They have fun.
+
+But then, a man comes. He is the keeper of the cage. He is not happy. He sees Tom and Lily on the bench.
+
+"Hey, you two. Get down from there. You are not allowed to touch the cage. It is dangerous. The birds are not toys. They are wild animals. They need space and peace. Go away and play somewhere else." He says.
+
+Tom and Lily are scared. They jump off the bench. They run away from the cage. They say sorry to the man and the birds. They look for another place to play. They learn to respect the birds and their home.
+Lily and Ben were adventurous twins who liked to explore new places. One day, they found a big hill behind their house. They wanted to climb it and see what was on the other side.
+
+They put on their hats and shoes and packed some snacks and water in their backpacks. They told their mom they were going on an adventure and she said to be careful and come back soon.
+
+They started to climb the hill, holding hands and helping each other. They saw some flowers, some bugs and some birds on the way. They also saw some rocks and sticks that they could use to make a fort.
+
+When they reached the top of the hill, they were very happy and proud. They had used their muscles to climb the hill and they felt strong and brave. They looked around and saw a big lake with some ducks and a small bridge. They decided to go there and have a picnic.
+
+They ran down the hill, laughing and shouting. They crossed the bridge and found a nice spot under a tree. They took out their snacks and water and shared them with each other. They also threw some bread crumbs to the ducks and watched them swim and quack.
+
+They had a lot of fun at the lake and they forgot about the time. They did not notice that the sun was setting and the sky was getting dark. They did not hear their mom calling their names from the house.
+
+They only realized they had to go back when they heard a loud roar from the other side of the lake. They looked and saw a big bear coming out of the woods. It had big teeth and claws and it looked hungry and angry.
+
+They were very scared and they did not know what to do. They grabbed their backpacks and ran back to the bridge. They hoped the bear would not follow them.
+
+They shouted for help as loud as they could. They hoped their mom would hear them and come to save them. They hoped they would make it back to their house and be safe. They hoped they would never see the bear again. They learned that being adventurous was fun, but also dangerous. They learned that they should always listen to their mom and not go too far. They learned that they should always stick together and help each other. They learned a lot from their adventure.
+Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. They had a big yard with a swing, a slide and a sandbox. They also had a dog named Spot who was very friendly and healthy. He liked to run and jump and shake his tail.
+
+One day, Lily and Ben decided to play pirates. They put on their boots and hats and pretended to have swords. They made a big treasure map and hid some coins and jewels in the sandbox. They said, "Arrr, matey, we are the best pirates ever!"
+
+Spot saw them playing and wanted to join. He ran over to them and barked. He sniffed the map and the coins and the jewels. He thought they were toys for him. He grabbed the map in his mouth and ran away. He shook it hard and tore it to pieces.
+
+Lily and Ben saw what Spot did and got very angry. They shouted, "Spot, no! Bad dog! You ruined our game! Give us back our treasure!" They chased after Spot, but he was too fast. He ran to the other side of the yard and dug a hole. He buried the coins and the jewels in the hole and covered them with dirt.
+
+Lily and Ben reached the hole and saw nothing. They cried and stamped their feet. They said, "Spot, you are a naughty dog! You stole our treasure and hid it! We don't like you anymore!" They turned their backs on Spot and went inside the house.
+
+Spot felt sad and confused. He didn't mean to make Lily and Ben angry. He thought they were having fun. He wagged his tail and tried to say sorry. He dug up the coins and the jewels and brought them to the door. He scratched the door and whined.
+
+But Lily and Ben didn't hear him. They were too busy telling their mom how bad Spot was. They said, "Mom, Spot is a mean dog! He ruined our pirate game and took our treasure! We don't want him anymore! Can we give him away?"
+
+Mom looked at Lily and Ben and shook her head. She said, "No, you can't give Spot away. He is part of our family. He loves you and you should love him too. He didn't know he was doing something wrong. He was just playing with you. You should be kind and forgiving to him. He is a good and healthy dog."
+
+But Lily and Ben didn't listen to Mom. They said, "No, Mom, we don't love Spot. We hate him. He is a bad and greedy dog. We don't want him in our family. We want a new dog. A nice and smart dog. A dog that doesn't ruin our games and steal our treasure."
+
+Mom sighed and said, "Okay, if that's what you really want. I will call the shelter and see if they can take Spot. But I hope you will change your mind. Spot is a wonderful dog and he will miss you very much."
+
+Lily and Ben smiled and said, "Thank you, Mom. We are happy now. We don't care about Spot. We can't wait to get a new dog."
+
+Spot heard what Lily and Ben said and felt very hurt. He dropped the coins and the jewels and ran away. He hid under the swing and cried. He wished Lily and Ben would love him again. He wished they would play with him again. He wished they would be his friends again.
+
+But they never did. The next day, Mom took Spot to the shelter and gave him away. Lily and Ben got a new dog, a fluffy and white dog. They named him Snowy and played with him all the time. They forgot about Spot and never looked for him again.
+
+Spot stayed at the shelter for a long time. He hoped Lily and Ben would come back for him. He hoped they would say they were sorry. He hoped they would say they loved him. But they never did. Spot was lonely and sad. He stopped eating and playing. He stopped wagging his tail and shaking his fur. He got sick and weak. He died.
+
+The end.
+Sara liked to play with her dolls and have tea parties. She had a big pink tea set with cups, saucers, spoons and a pot. She also had a small kettle that she could fill with water and pretend to boil on the stove.
+
+One day, she invited her friend Lily to join her tea party. Lily brought her own doll, a teddy bear with a blue bow. Sara set up the table with a cloth and some cookies. She poured some water into the kettle and put it on the stove.
+
+"Let's have some tea," Sara said. "I will be the mommy and you will be the baby. You have to do what I say, okay?"
+
+Lily nodded. She liked to play with Sara, but sometimes Sara was too bossy. She hoped Sara would let her have some fun too.
+
+Sara took the pot and filled it with water from the kettle. She added some sugar and stirred it with a spoon. Then she poured some tea into two cups and handed one to Lily.
+
+"Here you go, baby," Sara said. "Drink your tea. It's good for you."
+
+Lily took the cup and pretended to sip it. She made a face. The tea was too sweet and too hot. She wanted to say something, but Sara was already talking.
+
+"Now, let me see your doll," Sara said. "She needs a new dress. This one is too old and ugly. I have a better one for her."
+
+Sara reached for Lily's teddy bear, but Lily held it tight. She liked her teddy bear the way it was. She didn't want Sara to change it.
+
+"No, Sara," Lily said. "This is my doll. I like her dress. You can't have her."
+
+Sara frowned. She didn't like it when Lily said no to her. She wanted to be the mommy and make the rules.
+
+"Yes, I can," Sara said. "I'm the mommy and you're the baby. You have to share with me. Give me your doll, now!"
+
+Lily shook her head. She felt angry and sad. She didn't want to play with Sara anymore. She wanted to go home.
+
+"No, Sara," Lily said. "You're not the mommy. You're just bossy. I don't want to play with you. I want to go home."
+
+She got up from the table and grabbed her teddy bear. She ran to the door and opened it. She saw her mom waiting outside.
+
+"Mommy, mommy," Lily cried. "Can we go home, please? I don't like Sara. She's too bossy."
+
+Her mom hugged her and smiled. She knew Sara and Lily sometimes fought, but they were still friends.
+
+"Okay, sweetie," her mom said. "Let's go home. Maybe you can play with Sara another day, when she's nicer."
+
+Lily nodded. She felt better. She waved goodbye to Sara and left with her mom. She hoped Sara would learn to be less bossy and more kind. She liked to have tea parties, but she liked to have fun too.
+Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park with their toys. One day, they saw a big dog in the park. The dog was barking and running towards them.
+
+"Run, Lily, run!" Ben said. "The dog is a threat!"
+
+Lily was scared. She grabbed her doll and ran with Ben. They ran to a distant bench where their mom was sitting. They hid behind her legs.
+
+"Mom, mom, there is a big dog in the park!" Lily said. "He wants to bite us!"
+
+Mom looked at the dog. The dog was not a threat. He was just playful. He had a collar and a leash. His owner was calling him.
+
+"Come here, Spot, come here!" the owner said.
+
+Mom smiled. She knew the owner. He was her friend.
+
+"Don't worry, Lily and Ben," Mom said. "The dog is not a threat. He is a friend. He just wants to play with you. He is very gentle and friendly. I recommend you to pet him and say hello."
+
+Lily and Ben looked at Mom. They looked at the dog. The dog was wagging his tail and licking his lips. He looked happy and nice.
+
+"Are you sure, Mom?" Lily asked.
+
+"Yes, I am sure," Mom said. "Trust me. He will not hurt you. He will love you."
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They were brave. They walked slowly to the dog. The dog ran to them and licked their faces. He was soft and warm. He made them laugh.
+
+"Hi, Spot, hi!" Lily and Ben said. "You are a good dog. We are sorry we ran away from you. We want to be your friends."
+
+The owner smiled. He was glad they liked his dog.
+
+"Hi, kids, hi!" he said. "I am glad you like Spot. He likes you too. He is always looking for new friends. Do you want to play with him?"
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They were happy. They played with Spot and his owner. They threw a ball and a stick. They ran and jumped. They had fun.
+
+Mom watched them. She was proud of them. They had learned a new word and a new friend. She recommended them to play with Spot again. They agreed. They liked Spot. He was not a threat. He was a friend.
+Tom and Sam are young brothers. They like to play in the park with their ball. But sometimes Tom teases Sam and takes his ball away. Sam does not like that. He cries and tells Mom.
+
+One day, Mom takes them to the park again. Tom and Sam run to the grass and kick the ball. But then Tom sees a big dog. He is scared of big dogs. He runs to Mom and hides behind her.
+
+Sam sees the big dog too. But he is not scared. He likes dogs. He goes to the dog and pets him. The dog wags his tail and licks Sam's face. Sam laughs and says, "Hi, doggy. You are nice. Do you want to play with me and my ball?"
+
+The dog barks and nods. Sam throws the ball and the dog runs after it. He brings it back to Sam and drops it. Sam and the dog play catch for a long time. They have fun.
+
+Tom watches from behind Mom. He feels sorry. He wants to play too. He says to Mom, "Mom, can I play with Sam and the dog? I won't tease him anymore. I promise."
+
+Mom smiles and says, "OK, Tom. But you have to be nice to Sam and the dog. And you have to say sorry to Sam for teasing him."
+
+Tom nods and says, "OK, Mom. I will." He goes to Sam and the dog and says, "Sam, I'm sorry for teasing you. Can I play with you and the dog?"
+
+Sam smiles and says, "Sure, Tom. You can play with us. The dog is friendly. His name is Spot."
+
+Tom pets Spot and says, "Hi, Spot. You are a good dog. Can I throw the ball for you?"
+
+Spot barks and nods. Tom throws the ball and Spot runs after it. He brings it back to Tom and drops it. Tom, Sam and Spot play catch for a long time. They have fun.
+
+Mom watches from the bench. She is happy. She thinks, "Maybe Tom and Sam will get along better now. Maybe they will learn to share and be kind. Maybe they will make a new friend in Spot." She hopes so.
+Ben and Lily are twins. They like to play with their toys and their dog, Spot. Spot is a big and friendly dog. He likes to run and jump and lick Ben and Lily's faces.
+
+One day, Mom says, "It is time for Spot's test. We have to take him to the vet. The vet is a nice man who helps animals. He will check if Spot is healthy and happy."
+
+Ben and Lily are curious. They want to see the vet and the test. They put on their coats and shoes and go with Mom and Spot to the car. Spot sits in the back with Ben and Lily. He wags his tail and barks.
+
+At the vet, they see many other animals. There are cats and birds and rabbits and hamsters. Some of the animals are sick or hurt. They make sad noises. Ben and Lily feel sorry for them. They hold Spot's leash and pet him.
+
+"Shh, be quiet," Mom says. "We have to wait for our turn. The vet is very busy. He will call us soon."
+
+Ben and Lily nod. They try to be quiet. They look at the pictures on the wall. They see dogs and cats and birds and rabbits and hamsters. They see the vet smiling and holding a stethoscope. They wonder what the stethoscope is for.
+
+"Spot, come here," the vet says. He opens a door and waves at them. "Ben and Lily, you can come too. I will show you the test."
+
+Ben and Lily follow the vet with Mom and Spot. They go into a small room. There is a table and a chair and a computer and some tools. The vet lifts Spot onto the table and puts a collar around his neck.
+
+"This is a special collar," the vet says. "It helps me see how fast Spot's heart is beating. It is part of the test. Don't worry, it doesn't hurt."
+
+Ben and Lily watch as the vet turns on the computer and looks at the screen. They see a line that goes up and down. They hear a beep that matches the line.
+
+"Spot's heart is very strong and steady," the vet says. "That is good. He is a healthy dog. Now I will listen to his lungs and his stomach. I will use this stethoscope. It helps me hear better."
+
+The vet puts the stethoscope in his ears and moves it around Spot's chest and belly. He listens carefully. He nods and smiles.
+
+"Spot's lungs and stomach are also very good," the vet says. "He is breathing well and he is not hungry. He is a happy dog. You are taking good care of him. Do you feed him every day?"
+
+"Yes, we do," Ben and Lily say. "We feed him in the morning and in the evening. We give him kibble and water and sometimes a treat. He likes bones and biscuits and cheese."
+
+"Very good," the vet says. "Spot likes his food. He is a lucky dog. He has a good family. You are good twins. You love him and play with him and keep him company. He loves you too. You can see it in his eyes and his tail."
+
+Ben and Lily hug Spot and kiss his head. They feel his fur and his tongue and his nose. They love him too. They are happy.
+
+"Spot is done with his test," the vet says. "He is fine. He doesn't need any shots or pills. He can go home with you. But first, I have a surprise for you. Do you want to see it?"
+
+"Yes, please," Ben and Lily say. They are curious. They wonder what the surprise is.
+
+The vet opens a drawer and takes out a small box. He opens the box and shows them what is inside. There are two small toys. One is a dog and one is a cat. They are soft and fluffy and have buttons for eyes.
+
+"These are for you," the vet says. "They are your own pets. You can name them and play with them and feed them. They don't need a test. They are always healthy and happy. They are your friends."
+
+Ben and Lily are excited. They thank the vet and take the toys. They hug them and pet them and give them names. Ben names his dog Rover and Lily names her cat Fluffy. They are happy.
+
+"Let's go home," Mom says. "We have to feed Spot and your new pets. They must be hungry."
+
+Ben and Lily agree. They say goodbye to the vet and go to the car. They sit in the back with Spot and their toys. They talk to them and feed them imaginary food. They are quiet and happy. They are a good family.
+Tom and Mia liked to go to the park with their mom. They liked to see the flowers, the swings, and the pigeons. The pigeons were gray and white, and they made funny noises. Sometimes they flew away, and sometimes they came close to get some bread.
+
+One day, Tom and Mia saw a pigeon that was different. It had a red bandana around its neck, and it looked very playful. It hopped around and tilted its head. Tom and Mia wanted to be friends with it. They threw some bread to it, and it ate it happily.
+
+"Hello, pigeon," Tom said. "What is your name?"
+
+The pigeon cooed and nodded. It seemed to understand.
+
+"Can we pet you?" Mia asked. She reached out her hand slowly.
+
+The pigeon let Mia touch its feathers. It felt soft and warm. Mia smiled and rubbed its head gently. The pigeon closed its eyes and enjoyed it.
+
+"Wow, you are so nice," Tom said. He also rubbed the pigeon's back. The pigeon flapped its wings and made a happy sound.
+
+Mom watched them and smiled. She was glad that Tom and Mia were kind and gentle to the pigeon. She knew that the pigeon was someone's pet, and that it had a tag with a phone number on its bandana. She decided to call the owner and let them know where their pigeon was.
+
+"Tom, Mia, you are doing a good thing," Mom said. "This pigeon belongs to someone who loves it very much. They must be looking for it. We should help them find it."
+
+Tom and Mia nodded. They understood. They loved the pigeon, but they also wanted it to be with its family. They hugged the pigeon and said goodbye. They hoped to see it again someday.
+
+The pigeon thanked them with a coo and flew away. It looked back and waved its wing. Tom and Mia waved back and smiled. They learned that being friendly and caring to animals is a good thing, and that sometimes letting go is also a good thing. They were happy and proud of themselves.
+Lily liked to play in the park with her friends. They liked to swing, slide and run. One day, they saw a big hole in the ground. It was near the old tree. Lily was curious. She wanted to see what was in the hole.
+
+"Can we go and look?" she asked her friends.
+
+"No, Lily, it is too dangerous," said Ben. "We don't know what is in there. It could be a snake or a spider or a monster."
+
+"But I want to see," said Lily. "Please, please, please."
+
+She ran to the hole and looked inside. She saw something white and hard. It looked like a big puzzle. It had a head, a body, arms and legs. But it had no skin, no hair, no eyes, no nose, no mouth. It was a skeleton.
+
+Lily screamed. She was scared. She ran back to her friends. They hugged her and comforted her.
+
+"What did you see, Lily?" asked Mia.
+
+"I saw a skeleton," said Lily. "It was in the hole. It was scary."
+
+"Maybe it was someone who ate too many bitter lemons," said Ben. "They made him lose his skin and his hair and his eyes and his nose and his mouth."
+
+Lily laughed. She felt better. She did not want to eat bitter lemons. She did not want to be a skeleton. She wanted to play with her friends. They went to the swings and had fun. They forgot about the hole and the skeleton.
+Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to slide, swing and run. But Ben saw a big hill and wanted to climb it. He said to Lily, "Let's go up there. It looks fun."
+
+Lily was scared. She said, "No, Ben. It is too high and steep. We might fall and hurt ourselves."
+
+Ben did not listen. He said, "I am brave. I can do it. You are a chicken." He ran to the hill and started to climb.
+
+Lily watched him from the bottom. She hoped he would be careful. But Ben was not. He slipped on a rock and tumbled down. He cried out loud. He had a cut on his knee and it was bleeding.
+
+Lily ran to him and hugged him. She said, "Ben, are you okay? I told you it was dangerous."
+
+Ben was in pain. He said, "I am sorry, Lily. You were right. I was silly. Can you help me?"
+
+Lily nodded. She said, "Yes, Ben. I have a bandage in my backpack. I will put it on your knee. It will make you feel better."
+
+She took out the bandage and wrapped it around his knee. She kissed him on the cheek. She said, "There. You are a good boy. Don't worry. It will heal soon."
+
+Ben smiled. He said, "Thank you, Lily. You are a good friend. You are kind and smart. I am lucky to have you."
+
+Lily smiled back. She said, "You are welcome, Ben. You are a good friend too. You are brave and fun. I am lucky to have you too."
+
+They hugged each other. They did not care about the hill or the park. They had each other. They were happy. They did not need to be wealthy. They had something more valuable. They had friendship.
+Tom and Sue were twins who liked to eat ice cream. One day, they went to the park with their mom and saw a big ice cream truck. They ran to the truck and asked for ice cream.
+
+"Can we have ice cream, please?" they requested.
+
+"Sure, what flavor do you want?" the ice cream man asked.
+
+"I want chocolate," Tom said.
+
+"I want strawberry," Sue said.
+
+The ice cream man gave them each a cone with their favorite flavor. Tom and Sue were very happy and licked their ice cream.
+
+But then, they saw a little girl who was crying on a bench. She had no ice cream and looked very sad.
+
+"Mom, why is she crying?" Tom asked.
+
+"Maybe she has no money to buy ice cream," mom said.
+
+Tom and Sue felt sorry for the girl. They decided to share their ice cream with her.
+
+"Hi, do you want some ice cream?" Tom offered.
+
+"We have chocolate and strawberry," Sue added.
+
+The girl looked up and smiled. She nodded and thanked them.
+
+They gave her some of their ice cream and sat with her on the bench. They learned that her name was Lily and that she had lost her mom in the park. She was scared and helpless.
+
+"Don't worry, we will help you find your mom," Tom said.
+
+"Yes, we will stay with you until she comes," Sue said.
+
+They held her hand and walked with her to the park office. There, they found Lily's mom who was looking for her. She was so happy and relieved to see her daughter. She hugged her and thanked Tom and Sue for being so kind and generous.
+
+"Thank you for sharing your ice cream and helping my Lily," she said.
+
+"You're welcome," Tom and Sue said.
+
+They waved goodbye to Lily and her mom and went back to their mom. They felt proud and happy for doing a good deed.
+
+Mom hugged them and said, "I'm so proud of you, Tom and Sue. You have learned a valuable lesson today. Sharing is caring, and helping others is rewarding."
+
+The end.
+Ben and Lily were playing with their toy cars in the living room. They liked to make them zoom and crash on the carpet. But they also liked to catch each other with their cars. They would pretend that their cars were police and robbers, and chase each other around the sofa.
+
+"Stop, robber, stop!" Ben shouted, as he drove his blue car after Lily's red car. "I will catch you and put you in jail!"
+
+"No, you won't, police!" Lily said, as she turned her car around the corner. "I am too fast and smart for you!"
+
+Lily saw a switch on the wall. It was for the lamp. She had an idea. She drove her car towards the switch and bumped it with her car. The lamp went off and the room became dark.
+
+"Ha ha, now you can't see me, police!" Lily said, as she hid her car under a pillow. "I am safe in the dark!"
+
+Ben was surprised and scared. He did not like the dark. He could not see his car or Lily's car. He could not catch her anymore. He wanted the lamp to go on again.
+
+"Please, robber, please!" Ben said, as he felt around the wall for the switch. "Turn the lamp on again! I don't like the dark!"
+
+Lily heard Ben's voice. She felt sorry for him. She did not want him to be scared. She decided to be nice and help him. She drove her car out of the pillow and towards the switch. She bumped it with her car again. The lamp went on and the room became bright.
+
+"Here, police, here!" Lily said, as she showed her car to Ben. "You can catch me now! I am sorry I turned the lamp off. It was not nice."
+
+Ben saw Lily's car and smiled. He was happy to see her and the light. He drove his car to her and touched her car with his car.
+
+"Thank you, robber, thank you!" Ben said, as he hugged Lily. "You are a good robber. You are useful and kind. You are my friend."
+
+Lily hugged Ben back. She was happy to see him and the light. She liked to play with him and his car.
+
+"You are welcome, police, you are welcome!" Lily said, as she kissed Ben. "You are a good police. You are fun and brave. You are my friend too."
+
+Ben and Lily played with their cars some more. They did not catch each other anymore. They shared and helped each other. They had a lot of fun.
+Anna loved to watch the birds soar in the sky. She wished she could fly like them and see the world from above. She asked her mother, "Can I fly too?"
+
+Her mother smiled and said, "No, my dear, you can't fly. But you can do many other things that birds can't. You can run, and jump, and sing, and hug, and learn, and play."
+
+Anna nodded, but she still dreamed of flying. One day, she saw a big balloon in the park. It was red and yellow and blue, and it had a basket underneath. She ran to it and saw a man with a hat and a coat. He was holding a rope that tied the balloon to the ground.
+
+"Hello, little girl," he said. "Do you like my balloon?"
+
+Anna nodded eagerly. "Yes, I do. It's so pretty. Can I go inside?"
+
+The man smiled and said, "Sure, you can. But only if your mother says it's okay. And only for a little while. I have to take off soon."
+
+Anna ran to her mother and asked, "Can I go in the balloon, please? Please, please, please?"
+
+Her mother looked at the balloon and the man. She was a little worried, but she saw how happy Anna was. She said, "Okay, you can go. But only for a few minutes. And you have to stay with the man. And you have to come back when I call you."
+
+Anna hugged her mother and said, "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" She ran back to the balloon and climbed into the basket. The man helped her and said, "Are you ready for an adventure?"
+
+Anna nodded and said, "Yes, I am. Let's go!"
+
+The man untied the rope and the balloon soared into the air. Anna felt a breeze on her face and a thrill in her heart. She looked down and saw the park, the trees, the people, and the cars. They looked so small and far away. She looked up and saw the clouds, the sun, and the birds. They looked so big and close. She felt like she was flying.
+
+She said, "Wow, this is amazing. I love it!"
+
+The man said, "I'm glad you do. It is amazing. But you know what else is amazing?"
+
+Anna said, "What?"
+
+The man said, "Look over there. Do you see that?"
+
+Anna looked where he pointed. She saw a green hill with white dots on it. She said, "What are those?"
+
+The man said, "Those are sheep. They are gentle animals that live on farms. They have wool that we can use to make clothes and blankets. They also make a sound like this: baa, baa."
+
+Anna said, "Sheep? I've never seen sheep before. They look so soft and cute. Can we go closer?"
+
+The man said, "Sure, we can. But we have to be careful. We don't want to scare them or make them run away. We have to be gentle too."
+
+Anna said, "Okay, I will be gentle. I want to see the sheep."
+
+The man steered the balloon towards the hill. Anna watched the sheep with wonder. She saw some of them eating grass, some of them sleeping, and some of them playing. She heard them baa, baa, baa. She smiled and said, "Hello, sheep. I'm Anna. I'm flying in a balloon. You are so nice. Can I be your friend?"
+
+The sheep looked up and saw the balloon. They were curious and surprised. They baa, baa, baa back. They seemed to say, "Hello, Anna. We are sheep. You are flying in a balloon. You are so brave. You can be our friend."
+
+Anna was so happy. She felt like she had made new friends. She said, "Thank you, sheep. You are my friends. I like you."
+
+The man said, "You're welcome, Anna. You are very sweet. I like you too."
+
+Anna looked at the man and said, "Thank you, sir. You are very kind. I like you too."
+
+The man said, "You're welcome, Anna. You are very polite. I like you too."
+
+They smiled at each other and at the sheep. They felt a bond of friendship and joy. They soared in the sky, and they felt like they were flying.
+Lily liked to eat. She ate a lot of things. She ate bread and cheese and fruit and cake. But she did not like to eat green things. She said green things were yucky.
+
+One day, her mom made a big salad for lunch. It had lettuce and cucumber and peas and avocado. All green things. Lily did not want to eat it. She pushed her plate away and made a face.
+
+"Lily, you have to eat your salad. It is good for you. It will make you strong and healthy," her mom said.
+
+"No, thank you. I do not like green things. They are yucky. I want cake," Lily said.
+
+Her mom shook her head. "No cake until you eat your salad. And if you do not eat your salad, you will not get a surprise."
+
+Lily loved surprises. She wondered what it could be. She looked at her mom's eyes. They were twinkling. She looked at her mom's pocket. There was something bulging. She heard a faint sound. It sounded like a whistle.
+
+Lily was curious. She wanted to know what the surprise was. She wanted to hear the whistle. She decided to try the salad. She took a small bite. It was not so bad. She took another bite. It was crunchy and fresh. She took another bite. It was creamy and smooth. She ate all the salad. She smiled.
+
+"Mom, I ate all the salad. Can I have the surprise now?" she asked.
+
+Her mom smiled back. "Yes, you can. You did a good job. Here is your surprise." She took out the bulging thing from her pocket. It was a toy bird. It had colorful feathers and a shiny beak. It had a button on its back. When her mom pressed the button, the bird made a whistle sound.
+
+Lily was delighted. She took the bird and hugged it. She pressed the button and heard the whistle. She laughed. She thanked her mom. She said she liked green things now. She asked for more salad. And cake. And the bird. She was happy.
+Tom and Mia love to go to the beach with their mom and dad. They like to play in the sand, splash in the water, and look for shells and rocks. Sometimes they see fish and crabs and starfish in the water. One day, they saw something incredible: a shrimp!
+
+The shrimp was small and pink and had many legs and whiskers. It was hiding under a rock, but Tom and Mia saw it when a wave moved the rock. They wanted to catch the shrimp and look at it closer, so they ran to the water with a bucket.
+
+"Look, Mia, there it is!" Tom said, pointing to the shrimp.
+
+"Let's get it, Tom!" Mia said, scooping some water with the bucket.
+
+But the shrimp was fast and smart. It saw Tom and Mia and swam away from them. It found another rock and hid under it. Tom and Mia followed it, but they could not see it anymore.
+
+"Where did it go?" Tom asked, looking around.
+
+"I don't know, Tom. Maybe it went to another place." Mia said, feeling sad.
+
+They waited for a while, hoping the shrimp would come out again. But it did not. Then they heard their mom calling them.
+
+"Tom, Mia, it's time to go home. The sun is going to rise soon and we have to pack our things." Mom said.
+
+"Okay, Mom. We're coming." Tom and Mia said.
+
+They left the bucket on the sand and ran to their mom and dad. They told them about the shrimp they saw and how incredible it was.
+
+"Wow, that sounds amazing. Maybe you can see it again next time we come to the beach." Dad said.
+
+"Maybe, Dad. But it was very fast and smart. It knew how to hide from us." Tom said.
+
+"That's true, Tom. Shrimps are very clever animals. They have to be, to survive in the ocean." Mom said.
+
+Tom and Mia nodded. They learned something new about shrimps that day. They also had a lot of fun at the beach. They hoped to see the shrimp again someday, and maybe make friends with it.
+Lily liked to help her mom with work. She liked to fold clothes and put them in drawers. She liked to make neat piles of papers and books. She liked to dust the shelves and the toys.
+
+One day, mom gave Lily a special work. She gave her a big sheet of paper and some crayons. She said, "Lily, can you make a card for grandma? She is sick and needs some love. You can draw anything you want on the paper. But be careful, the paper is fragile. It can tear easily."
+
+Lily was happy. She loved grandma and wanted to make her a nice card. She took the paper and the crayons and went to the table. She thought hard about what to draw. She decided to draw a big heart, a flower, a sun, and a smiley face. She used red, yellow, pink, and blue crayons. She wrote "I love you grandma" with big letters.
+
+When she finished, she looked at her card. She was proud of her work. She wanted to fold the paper and put it in an envelope. But she remembered what mom said. The paper was fragile. She had to be gentle. She folded the paper slowly and carefully. She did not want to make a hole or a wrinkle.
+
+She took the envelope and put the card inside. She sealed it with a sticker. She wrote "To grandma" on the front. She ran to mom and showed her the card. Mom smiled and hugged her. She said, "Lily, you did a wonderful work. Grandma will love your card. You are a very good and kind girl." Lily felt happy and warm. She hoped grandma would feel better soon. She wanted to see her and give her the card. She wanted to make her smile.
+Jill and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to dig in the sand and look for shiny things. One day, they found a big, bright diamond in the sand. It sparkled like a star.
+
+"Wow, look at this!" Jill said. "It is so pretty!"
+
+"Can I see?" Tom asked. He reached for the diamond, but Jill pulled it away.
+
+"No, it is mine!" she said. "I found it first!"
+
+Tom was sad. He wanted to share the diamond with Jill. He thought she was his friend.
+
+"Please, Jill, let me see," he said. "We can take turns."
+
+But Jill did not listen. She put the diamond in her pocket and ran away. She wanted to keep it all for herself.
+
+Tom followed her. He saw her run into a dark alley. He was scared. He knew there were bad people in the alley. They could hurt Jill and take her diamond.
+
+"Jill, wait!" he shouted. "Don't go there! It is not safe!"
+
+But Jill did not hear him. She ran deeper into the alley. She saw a big, mean dog. It growled and barked at her. It wanted to bite her.
+
+Jill was afraid. She wished she had listened to Tom. She wished she had shared the diamond with him. She tried to run back, but the dog was faster. It jumped on her and knocked her down.
+
+"Help!" she screamed.
+
+Tom heard her scream. He was brave. He ran into the alley. He saw the dog on top of Jill. He picked up a stick and hit the dog. The dog yelped and ran away.
+
+Tom helped Jill get up. She was hurt and dirty. She was crying.
+
+"Thank you, Tom," she said. "You saved me."
+
+She took out the diamond from her pocket and gave it to him.
+
+"Here, you can have it," she said. "I am sorry I was mean to you. You are a good friend."
+
+Tom smiled. He hugged Jill. He did not care about the diamond. He was happy to have Jill as his friend.
+
+They left the alley and went back to the park. They decided to bury the diamond in the sand. They did not need it. They had each other.
+Tom and Mia were going on a trip with their mom and dad. They had big luggage with their clothes and toys. They were very happy to see new things and have fun.
+
+But on the way to the airport, their car had a problem. It made a loud noise and stopped. Mom and dad looked worried. They called someone to help them. Tom and Mia waited in the car.
+
+"Are we still going on the trip?" Tom asked.
+
+"I hope so, Tom. We just need to fix the car. It will heal soon," dad said.
+
+"How does a car heal?" Mia asked.
+
+"Well, it's like when you have a boo-boo and mom puts a band-aid on it. The car needs someone to check it and make it better," dad explained.
+
+Tom and Mia nodded. They understood. They hoped the car would heal fast.
+
+Soon, a big truck came. It had a high crane and a hook. The truck driver got out and talked to mom and dad. He said he would tow the car to a garage. He asked them to get their luggage and get in the truck.
+
+Tom and Mia grabbed their luggage and followed mom and dad. They climbed into the truck. It was very high. They could see a lot of things from the window.
+
+"Wow, this is like a ride!" Tom said.
+
+"Yeah, it's fun!" Mia agreed.
+
+Mom and dad smiled. They were glad Tom and Mia were not scared or sad. They hoped they would still make it to the airport on time. They hoped their trip would be good. They hoped their car would heal soon.
+Sara and Tom were very happy. They had a big red ball to play with. They liked to kick the ball, throw the ball, and catch the ball. They had a lot of fun with the ball.
+
+But one day, a mean boy came and took their ball. He said it was his ball and he would not give it back. He said they had to pay a big price to get the ball. Sara and Tom were very sad and angry. They wanted their ball back.
+
+They ran to their mom and told her what happened. Their mom was very kind and smart. She said she would help them get their ball back. She went to the mean boy and talked to him. She said the ball was not his and he had to give it back. She said he could not ask for a big price. She said he had to be nice and share.
+
+The mean boy was scared of Sara and Tom's mom. He knew she was right. He gave the ball back to Sara and Tom. He said he was sorry and he would not do it again. Sara and Tom were very happy. They thanked their mom and hugged her.
+
+They went back to play with their ball. They invited the mean boy to play with them. He said yes and they became friends. They all had a lot of fun with the ball. They learned to be nice and share. They learned to relax and have fun.
+Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play in the yard. One day, they saw a shiny thing under a big rock. Tim said, "Look, Sam, a shiny thing! Maybe it is a coin or a ring. Let's get it!" Sam said, "OK, Tim, but be careful. It might be a trap."
+
+Tim and Sam moved the rock and saw a metal thing with teeth. Tim said, "Wow, it is a trap! Maybe someone left it here to catch animals. Let's polish it and make it more shiny." Sam said, "No, Tim, don't touch it. It might hurt you. Let's leave it alone and go back to the house."
+
+But Tim did not listen to Sam. He wanted to polish the trap and make it his toy. He reached out his hand and touched the trap. Snap! The trap closed on Tim's hand and made him scream. Sam ran to Tim and tried to help him, but the trap was too strong and too sharp. Tim's hand was bleeding and hurting a lot. He cried and cried.
+
+Sam ran to the house and called for Mom and Dad. They came out and saw Tim and the trap. They were very scared and angry. They tried to open the trap and free Tim's hand, but it was too late. Tim's hand was dead. He had to go to the hospital and have his hand cut off. He was very sad and sorry. He wished he had listened to Sam and left the trap alone.
+Lily and Ben were twins who liked to make cards for their friends and family. They used paper, crayons, stickers and glitter to decorate their cards. They also wrote nice words inside, like "I love you" and "You are the best".
+
+One day, they wanted to send a card to their grandma, who lived far away. They made a beautiful card with flowers and hearts. They put it in an envelope and wrote her name and address on it. They asked their mom to take them to the post office.
+
+At the post office, they saw a man who looked angry and sad. He had a big pile of envelopes in his hands. He threw them on the counter and said to the lady, "I don't want these anymore. They are all bills and bad news. They make me bitter and unhappy."
+
+Lily and Ben felt sorry for the man. They whispered to their mom, "Can we give him one of our cards? Maybe it will make him smile."
+
+Their mom nodded and smiled. She said, "That's very kind of you. Go ahead."
+

+Lily liked to mix things. She mixed water and soap to make bubbles. She mixed paint and paper to make art. She mixed flour and eggs to make dough. She mixed everything she could find in the kitchen.
+
+One day, Lily's mom had to work at home. She was a lawyer. She had to talk to people on the phone and write on the computer. She told Lily to play quietly in her room. She said it was not easy to be a lawyer.
+
+But Lily was bored in her room. She wanted to mix things. She saw her mom's phone and computer on the table. She thought they looked like toys. She decided to mix them with water and soap. She poured the water and soap over the phone and computer. She giggled as she saw the bubbles and sparks.
+
+"Lily, what are you doing?" her mom shouted as she came into the room. She saw the mess and got very angry. She grabbed the phone and computer and tried to dry them. But they were broken. She could not talk to people or write on the computer. She could not work.
+
+"I'm sorry, mom. I was mixing things. I like to mix things. It's fun," Lily said.
+
+"It's not fun, Lily. It's bad. You broke my phone and computer. You made me lose my work. You don't mix things that are not yours. You don't mix things that are important. You don't understand. It's not easy to be a lawyer," her mom said.
+
+Lily felt sad. She did not mean to make her mom angry. She did not know that the phone and computer were important. She did not know what a lawyer was. She just wanted to mix things.
+
+"Mom, I'm sorry. I love you. Can you teach me what a lawyer is? Can you teach me what to mix and what not to mix?" Lily asked.
+
+Her mom sighed. She hugged Lily and said, "I love you too, Lily. I'm sorry I yelled at you. I know you were curious. But you have to be careful. A lawyer is someone who helps people with problems. Sometimes they have to talk to people on the phone and write on the computer. Sometimes they have to go to a place called court. It's not easy to be a lawyer. It takes a lot of work and learning. Maybe one day I can teach you more about it. But for now, let me show you what you can mix and what you can't mix. Come with me to the kitchen. We can mix some flour and eggs and make some cookies. How does that sound?"
+
+Lily smiled. She liked cookies. She liked her mom. She said, "That sounds good, mom. Thank you. I want to learn more. I want to be a lawyer like you. But first, let's mix some cookies."
+Anna likes to draw. She has many colors and papers. She draws her family, her friends, and her toys. She likes to make images with her colors.
+
+One day, she hears a knock on the door. She runs to see who it is. It is her grandma. Anna is happy to see her grandma. She hugs her and says, "Hi, grandma!"
+
+"Hi, Anna! I have a surprise for you," grandma says. She gives Anna a big box. Anna opens the box. Inside, there is a smooth book. The book has many images of animals. Anna likes animals.
+
+"Wow, thank you, grandma! This is a nice book. Can you read it to me?" Anna asks.
+
+"Of course, my dear. Let's sit on the couch and read it together," grandma says. They go to the couch and open the book. Anna hears grandma's voice as she reads the stories of the animals. Anna looks at the images and smiles. She is happy with her grandma and her book.
+Ben and Lily were playing in the park with their kites. They liked to run and watch their kites fly high in the sky. Ben had a blue kite with a star on it. Lily had a pink kite with a heart on it.
+
+"Look, Ben, my kite is higher than yours!" Lily said.
+
+"No, it's not, mine is higher!" Ben said.
+
+They both ran faster and faster, trying to make their kites go higher and higher. They did not see the chubby dog that was chasing them. The dog liked to run and bark and bite things. He saw the kites and thought they were toys.
+
+The dog jumped and caught Lily's kite in his mouth. He pulled and tore it with his teeth. Lily saw her kite fall to the ground in pieces. She was very sad and angry.
+
+"Hey, bad dog, give me back my kite!" Lily screamed.
+
+The dog did not listen. He ran away with the kite in his mouth. Ben saw what happened and ran after the dog. He wanted to help Lily get her kite back.
+
+"Stop, dog, stop!" Ben screamed.
+
+But the dog was too fast and too chubby. He ran out of the park and into the street. Ben and Lily could not catch him. They stopped and looked at each other. They both felt sad and angry.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily, your kite is gone," Ben said.
+
+"It's okay, Ben, it's not your fault," Lily said.
+
+They hugged each other and walked back to the park. They saw their mom and dad waiting for them. They told them what happened. Their mom and dad felt sorry for them and gave them hugs and kisses.
+
+"Don't worry, kids, we can get you new kites," their mom said.
+
+"Really?" Ben and Lily said.
+
+"Yes, really. But first, let's go home and have some cookies and milk," their dad said.
+
+Ben and Lily smiled and nodded. They liked cookies and milk. They held their mom and dad's hands and walked home. They still felt sad and angry, but they also felt happy and loved. They hoped they would see the chubby dog again and get their kites back. But they also hoped he would not bite them.
+Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play and run and jump. But today, they have to go to the gym with Mom. Mom says the gym is good for them. She says they will have fun and make new friends.
+
+Sara and Ben do not want to go to the gym. They want to stay home and watch TV. They are lazy. They say the gym is boring and hard. They say they have no friends there. They say they do not like to wear gym clothes.
+
+Mom is not happy. She says they have to wear gym clothes. She says they have to try new things. She says they have to be nice to other kids. She says they will like the gym if they give it a chance. She says she has a surprise for them at the gym.
+
+Sara and Ben do not believe Mom. They think the surprise is something bad. They think it is more work or more rules. They do not want to go to the gym. They do not want to wear gym clothes. They do not want to try new things. They do not want to be nice to other kids.
+
+But Mom makes them go to the gym. She makes them wear gym clothes. She makes them try new things. She makes them be nice to other kids. And then, she shows them the surprise.
+
+The surprise is a big slide. A big, colorful, fun slide. Sara and Ben love slides. They love to go up and down and up and down. They forget about the gym and the gym clothes and the new things and the other kids. They only think about the slide.
+
+Mom smiles. She says she knew they would like the surprise. She says she is proud of them for going to the gym. She says they are not lazy. They are brave and strong and smart. She says they can play on the slide as long as they want.
+
+Sara and Ben hug Mom. They say they are sorry for being lazy. They say they are happy to go to the gym. They say they like to wear gym clothes. They say they like to try new things. They say they like to be nice to other kids. And they say they love the slide. And Mom.
+Sara and Tom were twins who liked to play with their toys. One day, they found a big box in their room. It had a sticker that said "mail". They wondered what was inside.
+
+"Let's open it!" Tom said. He ripped the tape and lifted the lid. He saw many green things that looked like eggs. "Wow, look at these!" he said.
+
+Sara came closer and touched one of the green things. It was soft and squishy. She smelled it and made a face. "Ew, what are these? They smell bad!" she said.
+
+"They are avocados," a voice said. Sara and Tom turned around and saw their mom standing in the door. She smiled and said, "They are a gift from your grandma. She lives far away and she loves avocados. She wanted to share them with you."
+
+Sara and Tom felt bad for opening the box without asking. They also felt frightened because they thought they had done something wrong. They said sorry to their mom and hugged her.
+
+"It's okay, my loves," their mom said. "I'm not angry. But next time, please ask me before you open any mail. It might be something important or fragile or private. And you might learn something new if you wait and listen."
+
+Sara and Tom nodded and said they understood. They thanked their mom and their grandma for the avocados. They decided to try them and see if they liked them. They learned that avocados were good for them and tasted yummy with salt and lemon. They also learned to be more careful and respectful with mail.
+Tim and Lily were playing with blocks in the living room. They wanted to build a big structure with many rooms and windows. They worked hard and used all the blocks they could find.
+
+"Look, Lily, this is our house!" Tim said, showing her the structure. "We have a kitchen, a bedroom, a bathroom and a garage!"
+
+"It's very nice, Tim!" Lily said, admiring the structure. "Can I make a garden with flowers and trees?"
+
+"Sure, Lily, you can use the green and yellow blocks!" Tim said, giving her some blocks.
+
+They were having fun, until they heard a loud crash. They turned around and saw that their baby brother, Max, had knocked down their structure. He was laughing and clapping his hands.
+
+"Max, no!" Tim shouted, running to him. "You broke our house! We worked so hard!"
+
+Lily started to cry. She was sad and angry. She wanted to hit Max, but she knew it was wrong.
+
+"Mommy, mommy, come here!" Lily called, hoping that mommy would scold Max.
+
+Mommy came quickly. She saw the mess and the children's faces. She knew what had happened.
+
+"Tim, Lily, what's going on?" Mommy asked, kneeling down.
+
+"Max broke our house, mommy!" Tim said, pointing at Max. "He ruined everything!"
+
+"Max, did you do that?" Mommy asked, looking at Max.
+
+Max stopped laughing. He saw that Tim and Lily were upset. He felt guilty. He lowered his head and nodded.
+
+"Max, that was not nice. You made Tim and Lily sad. You have to say sorry and help them fix their house." Mommy said, gently.
+
+"Sorry, Tim. Sorry, Lily." Max said, softly.
+
+"It's okay, Max. We forgive you. But you have to be careful next time." Tim said, trying to be nice.
+
+"Can you help us build our house again, Max?" Lily asked, wiping her tears.
+
+"Okay, I help." Max said, smiling.
+
+Mommy smiled too. She was proud of her children. She helped them pick up the blocks and explain how to build a structure. They worked together and made a new house. It was bigger and better than before. They all had fun.
+Lily liked to play with her dad's toys. He had many toys in his lab. He had balls, tubes, lights, and sounds. He said they were for work, but Lily thought they were fun.
+
+One day, Lily saw a new toy on his desk. It was a small box with a button. She wanted to press the button and see what it did. She asked her dad, "Can I play with this toy?"
+
+Her dad looked at the box and shook his head. "No, Lily, you can't. This toy is not for playing. It is very important and dangerous. It can make a big boom. You must not touch it."
+
+Lily felt sad and angry. She did not like when her dad said no. She thought he was mean and unfair. She waited until he went to the kitchen to get a drink. Then she ran to his desk and grabbed the box. She said to herself, "I will show him. I will press the button and see the boom."
+
+She pressed the button and heard a loud beep. Then she felt a bitter taste in her mouth. She spat and coughed. She looked at the box and saw a spray of green liquid. It was on her face, her clothes, and the desk. It smelled bad and made her eyes water.
+
+She heard her dad coming back. She was scared and sorry. She dropped the box and ran to him. She hugged him and cried, "Dad, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I touched the toy and it sprayed me. It tastes bitter and it hurts. Please help me."
+
+Her dad was shocked and worried. He saw the mess and the box. He knew what it was. It was a test for a new medicine. It was not ready and safe. It was not a toy. He hugged Lily and said, "Oh, Lily, what have you done? You should have listened to me. You should not have touched the toy. It was not for playing. It was for work. You could have been hurt. Come, let's wash you and make you feel better."
+
+He took Lily to the bathroom and washed her face and clothes. He checked her mouth and eyes. He gave her some water and a hug. He said, "Lily, I love you, but you must not do that again. You must not go to my lab without my permit. You must not play with my toys without my permission. You must obey me and trust me. I know what is best for you. Do you understand?"
+
+Lily nodded and said, "Yes, dad, I understand. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I love you too. I will not do that again. I will not go to your lab. I will not play with your toys. I will obey you and trust you. Can you forgive me?"
+
+Her dad smiled and said, "Of course, I forgive you, Lily. You are my little girl. You made a mistake, but you learned from it. You are brave and smart. But you must also be careful and respectful. Now, let's go and have some ice cream. That will make you feel better."
+
+Lily smiled and said, "Yes, dad, let's go. I like ice cream. It is sweet and cold. It is not bitter and hot. It is a good toy. Can I have chocolate?"
+
+Her dad laughed and said, "Yes, Lily, you can have chocolate. But only one scoop. And don't press any buttons on the way."
+Tom and Lily went to the zoo with Mom and Dad. They saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and giraffes. But their favorite was the elephant. The elephant was big and gray, with a long nose and big ears. He could spray water with his nose and make loud noises.
+
+The zoo had a playground, too. Tom and Lily wanted to play on the slide. It was a big slide, with a curve and a bump. They climbed up the ladder and waited for their turn. Tom went first. He sat on the slide and pushed off. He went fast and felt the wind in his hair. He laughed as he slid down the curve and the bump. He landed on the ground and got up. He liked the slide.
+
+Lily went next. She sat on the slide and pushed off. She went fast, too. But she was scared of the curve and the bump. She closed her eyes and screamed. She slid down the curve and the bump. She landed on the ground and cried. She did not like the slide.
+
+Mom and Dad ran to Lily and hugged her. They asked her what was wrong. Lily said she was scared of the slide. She said it was too wild for her. She wanted to see the elephant again. The elephant was not wild. He was gentle and friendly.
+
+Mom and Dad smiled and wiped her tears. They said they were proud of her for trying the slide. They said it was okay to be scared sometimes. They said they would take her to see the elephant again. Tom said he would go, too. He said he liked the elephant, too. He said he would share his peanuts with him.
+
+They walked back to the elephant. The elephant saw them and waved his nose. He was happy to see them. Tom and Lily gave him some peanuts. He ate them and sprayed some water. He made a loud noise. Tom and Lily laughed. They were not scared of the elephant. They loved the elephant. The elephant loved them, too. They had a fun day at the zoo.
+Ben and Mia were twins who liked to play together. But sometimes they also fought over toys and books. One day, they both wanted to read the same story about a foolish rabbit who got into trouble. They pulled and tugged at the book until it ripped in half.
+
+"Look what you did!" Ben shouted at Mia. "You broke the book!"
+
+"No, you broke it!" Mia shouted back. "You pulled too hard!"
+
+They were both very angry and sad. They did not want to share or say sorry.
+
+Their mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw the ripped book and the unhappy twins.
+
+"What happened here?" she asked.
+
+Ben and Mia both tried to tell their side of the story, but they talked over each other and did not listen.
+
+"Stop, stop!" their mom said. "You are both being foolish. You need to settle this problem in a nice way. Why don't you take turns reading the book? Ben, you can read the first half, and Mia, you can read the second half. Then you can swap and read the other half. How does that sound?"
+
+Ben and Mia thought about it. They liked the idea of reading the whole story, even if it was in two pieces. They also did not want to be foolish like the rabbit.
+
+"Okay, mom," they said. "We will try that."
+
+They smiled at each other and said sorry. They hugged and made up. Then they sat down on the couch and took turns reading the book. They were patient and listened to each other. They laughed and learned from the story. They were happy and wise.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big metal thing with wheels and a loud noise. It was a new truck. They wanted to see it up close.
+
+"Let's march to the truck!" Tom said. He liked to march like a soldier. He lifted his feet high and made a sound with his mouth. "March, march, march!"
+
+Lily followed him. She liked to march too. She also made a sound with her mouth. "March, march, march!"
+
+They reached the truck. It was shiny and red. They saw a man in the truck. He was wearing a hat and a suit. He looked at them and smiled.
+
+"Hello, kids!" he said. "Do you like my truck? It's a new fire truck. I'm a fireman. I help people when there is a fire."
+
+"Wow!" Tom and Lily said. They liked the fireman. They liked his truck. They wanted to be firemen too.
+
+"Can we see your truck?" Tom asked.
+
+"Sure!" the fireman said. "But be careful. Don't touch anything. It's very important."
+
+He opened the door and let them in. They saw a lot of buttons and levers and lights. They saw a big hose and a ladder. They saw a helmet and a coat.
+
+"This is so cool!" Lily said.
+
+The fireman told them what everything was for. He showed them how to use the hose and the ladder. He let them wear the helmet and the coat. They felt like firemen.
+
+They thanked the fireman and got out of the truck. They waved goodbye and marched back to the park. They were happy. They had a new friend and a new dream. They wanted to be firemen when they grew up.
+Lily and Ben are playing in the park. They like to jump on the swings and slide down the slide. They see a big truck with a shiny license on the front. They want to see it closer.
+
+They run to the truck and climb on the back. They find a lot of boxes and bags. They open some of them and see toys and clothes and books. They are happy and start to play with them.
+
+But then they hear a loud voice. It is the driver of the truck. He is angry and says, "Hey, what are you doing? Get off my truck! You are not allowed to touch my things!"
+
+Lily and Ben are scared and drop the toys and clothes and books. They jump off the truck and run back to the swings. They are sorry and say, "We are sorry, mister. We did not know. We just wanted to see your license."
+
+The driver of the truck is still angry, but he sees that they are just kids. He says, "Well, you should not climb on other people's trucks. You could get hurt or break something. And you should not take other people's things. They are not yours. They are for other people who need them."
+
+Lily and Ben nod and say, "We understand, mister. We are sorry. We will not do it again."
+
+The driver of the truck says, "OK, then. Just be careful and stay away from trucks. And have fun in the park."
+
+Lily and Ben say, "Thank you, mister. Bye-bye."
+
+They go back to the swings and slide and play with their own toys. They are happy and forget about the truck. They learn a lesson and have a good day.
+Ben and Lily liked to play with their toy cars. They had many cars of different colors and sizes. They liked to match the cars that looked the same. They put the red cars together, the blue cars together, and so on.
+
+One day, they decided to go on a journey with their cars. They took a big bag and put some cars inside. They said goodbye to their mom and dad and went outside. They walked along the street, looking for a place to play.
+
+They saw a big park with a lot of grass and trees. They thought it would be fun to drive their cars on the grass. They ran to the park and opened their bag. They took out their cars and started to match them again.
+
+But then, they heard a loud noise. It was a big dog, barking and running towards them. The dog wanted to play with their cars too. He jumped on the bag and tore it open. He grabbed some cars with his teeth and ran away.
+
+Ben and Lily were frightened. They cried and shouted for help. They wanted their cars back. They wanted their mom and dad. But no one heard them. The dog was too fast and too strong. He took all their cars and left them alone in the park. Ben and Lily had a bad journey. They wished they had stayed at home.
+Anna loved sunflowers. She liked to look at their big yellow faces and feel their soft petals. She had a sunflower seed that she wanted to plant in her garden. She asked her mom for help.
+
+"Mom, can I plant this seed?" Anna said, holding the seed in her hand.
+
+"Sure, honey. Let's find a good spot for it," Mom said. She took Anna to the garden and showed her how to dig a small hole, put the seed in, and cover it with dirt. "Now, we have to water it and wait for it to grow," Mom said.
+
+Anna was very excited. She watered the seed every day and checked on it. She hoped to see a green sprout soon. But after a week, nothing happened. Anna was sad and confused.
+
+"Mom, why is my seed not growing?" Anna asked.
+
+Mom looked at the spot where Anna planted the seed. She saw that it was in the shade of a big tree. "Oh, Anna, I'm sorry. I think your seed needs more sun to grow. Sunflowers love the sun. They turn their heads to follow it all day. Maybe we can move your seed to a sunnier place," Mom said.
+
+Anna shrugged. She did not know what to do. She liked the tree, too. It gave her shade and fruits. She did not want to hurt the tree or the seed. She was troubled.
+
+"Mom, can we share the sun with the tree and the seed?" Anna asked.
+
+Mom smiled. She was proud of Anna. She had a good heart. "That's a very nice idea, Anna. Maybe we can find a way to share the sun. Let's look for a spot where the tree and the seed can both get some sun," Mom said.
+
+They walked around the garden and found a spot where the sun shone through a gap in the branches. Mom helped Anna dig a new hole and move the seed there. They watered it and hoped for the best.
+
+The next week, Anna was happy to see a green sprout poking out of the dirt. She clapped her hands and hugged Mom. "Look, Mom, my seed is growing! It likes the sun!"
+
+Mom hugged her back. "Yes, it does. And so does the tree. And so do you. You are a sunflower, too, Anna. You brighten up my day."
+
+Anna smiled. She learned that sharing is caring. She looked forward to seeing her sunflower bloom. She hoped it would be as big and beautiful as her mom.
+Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. Lily had a doll and Ben had a truck. They were having fun until Ben saw Lily's fork. He wanted to use it for his truck.
+
+"Can I have your fork, Lily?" Ben asked.
+
+"No, it is mine. I need it for my doll. She is hungry," Lily said.
+
+"Please, Lily. Just for a little bit. I want to repair my truck. It has a bad wheel," Ben said.
+
+"No, Ben. Go find your own fork. This is not a toy. It is for eating," Lily said.
+
+Ben was angry. He did not listen to Lily. He grabbed the fork from her hand and ran to his truck. Lily was sad. She cried and shouted.
+
+"Ben, give me back my fork! You are bad! You are not my friend!"
+
+Lily's mom heard the noise. She came to the living room and saw what happened. She was not happy. She took the fork from Ben and gave it back to Lily. She hugged Lily and wiped her tears.
+
+"Ben, you should not take things from Lily without asking. That is not nice. You should say sorry to Lily and share your toys," Lily's mom said.
+
+Ben felt sorry. He knew he did something wrong. He looked at Lily and said.
+
+"Sorry, Lily. I was wrong. I should not take your fork. Can we be friends again?"
+
+Lily smiled. She forgave Ben. She said.
+
+"OK, Ben. We can be friends again. But you have to be careful with my fork. It is not for repairing trucks. It is for eating."
+
+Ben nodded. He said.
+
+"OK, Lily. I understand. Do you want to play with my truck? We can take turns."
+
+Lily nodded. She said.
+
+"OK, Ben. That sounds fun. We can play with your truck and my doll. We can be happy."
+
+Lily and Ben hugged. They played with their toys together. They were happy. Lily's mom smiled. She was proud of them. She said.
+
+"Good job, Lily and Ben. You are good friends. You know how to repair your problems."
+Lily and Max like to visit the museum with their mom. They see many things that are old and new, big and small, and different colors. They like to look at the animals, the paintings, and the cars.
+
+One day, they see a new thing in the museum. It is a skeleton of a dinosaur. It has a long neck, a long tail, and sharp teeth. Lily and Max are curious and scared. They want to know more about it.
+
+They ask their mom, "What is that?"
+
+Their mom says, "That is a dinosaur. It was a fierce animal that lived a long time ago, before people. It is not alive anymore. Only its bones are left."
+
+Lily and Max say, "Wow! How did it die?"
+
+Their mom says, "No one knows for sure. Maybe it got sick, or hurt, or hungry. Maybe something big and loud happened that changed the world. But we can learn from its bones. They tell us how it looked, how it moved, and what it ate."
+
+Lily and Max say, "That is amazing! Can we touch it?"
+
+Their mom says, "No, we can't touch it. It is very old and fragile. We have to be careful and respectful. We can look at it, and take pictures, and ask questions. But we can't touch it."
+
+Lily and Max say, "OK, we understand. Thank you for telling us about the dinosaur. It is very interesting and cool."
+
+They look at the skeleton for a long time, and then they go to see other things in the museum. They have a fun and educational visit. They learn a lot and have many questions. They can't wait to come back again.
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys in the living room. They have many toys, but their favorite is Spike. Spike is a big, green dinosaur with sharp teeth and a long tail. Spike can roar and walk and make funny noises.
+
+One day, Lily and Ben are playing with Spike. They take turns to make him roar and walk. They have a lot of fun. But then, Ben wants to play with Spike for a long time. He does not want to share with Lily.
+
+"Ben, please give me Spike. It is my turn to play with him," Lily says.
+
+"No, Lily. Spike is mine. I want to play with him more," Ben says.
+
+"Ben, please. We have to share. Spike is ours. He likes both of us," Lily says.
+
+But Ben does not listen. He holds Spike tight and runs away. Lily is sad and angry. She follows Ben and tries to get Spike back. They start to fight and pull Spike. Spike does not like this. He makes a loud roar and falls to the floor. He breaks his tail.
+
+Lily and Ben stop fighting. They look at Spike. They see his broken tail. They feel sorry for Spike. They feel sorry for each other.
+
+"Ben, I am sorry. I should not have pulled Spike. I hurt him," Lily says.
+
+"Lily, I am sorry too. I should have shared Spike. I was not nice to you," Ben says.
+
+They hug each other and hug Spike. They say sorry to Spike. They look for some tape to fix his tail. They promise to share and play nicely with Spike.
+
+Mom comes to the living room. She sees Lily and Ben playing with Spike. She sees his taped tail. She smiles and hugs them.
+
+"Mom, we are sorry. We broke Spike's tail. We were fighting. But we said sorry and fixed him. We love Spike. We love each other," Lily and Ben say.
+
+Mom kisses them and says, "I am proud of you, Lily and Ben. You learned a good lesson. Spike is lucky to have you as his friends. And I am lucky to have you as my children. I love you too."
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with their jeep. Their jeep is big and red. It has four wheels and a horn. They can drive it in the yard.
+
+One day, Mom says, "We are going to the park. You can bring your jeep." Lily and Ben are glad. They put on their hats and shoes. They put their jeep in the car. They go to the park.
+
+At the park, there are many kids. Some kids have bikes. Some kids have balls. Some kids have dolls. Lily and Ben drive their jeep on the grass. They have fun.
+
+Then, a boy comes. He says, "I want to play with your jeep." Lily and Ben say, "No, this is our jeep. You can play with something else." The boy is mad. He says, "Give me your jeep or I will spoil it." He tries to grab the jeep.
+
+Lily and Ben are scared. They shout, "Help, help!" Mom hears them. She runs to them. She says, "Stop, stop! What are you doing?" She sees the boy. She says, "You are very rude. You cannot spoil their jeep. You have to say sorry and go away."
+
+The boy says sorry. He goes away. Mom hugs Lily and Ben. She says, "Are you okay? I am sorry that happened. You can play with your jeep. I am proud of you for sharing, but you do not have to let anyone spoil your things."

+Sara and Tom are playing in the park. They like to slide, swing and run. They see a big sandbox and run to it. They want to make a castle with sand and sticks.
+
+But when they get to the sandbox, they see a boy with a red hat. He is sitting in the middle of the sandbox and has a lot of toys. He has a bucket, a shovel, a rake and a truck. He does not want to share his toys with Sara and Tom.
+
+"Go away!" he yells at them. "This is my sandbox and my toys! You can't play here!"
+
+Sara and Tom are sad and angry. They want to play in the sandbox too. They look for another place to play, but they can't find one. All the other places are taken by other kids.
+
+They go back to the sandbox and ask the boy with the red hat nicely. "Please, can we play with you? We can help you make a castle. We can be your friends."
+
+But the boy with the red hat yells again. "No! You can't play with me! You are dirty and you will break my toys! Go away!"
+
+Sara and Tom are very sad and angry now. They don't like the boy with the red hat. He is mean and selfish. They decide to teach him a lesson.
+
+They wait until the boy with the red hat is busy with his truck. Then they sneak up behind him and grab his bucket and shovel. They run away with them and hide behind a tree.
+
+The boy with the red hat is shocked and mad. He sees his bucket and shovel are gone. He looks for them, but he can't find them. He starts to cry.
+
+"Where are my bucket and shovel?" he yells. "Who took them? Give them back!"
+
+Sara and Tom hear him yell. They feel sorry for him. They realize they were not nice to him either. They decide to give him back his bucket and shovel.
+
+They come out from behind the tree and walk to the boy with the red hat. They give him his bucket and shovel and say sorry.
+

+Lily and Ben are twins who love to play with their dog, Spot. Spot is a big, brown dog who likes to run and jump and lick their faces. One day, Lily and Ben want to take Spot to the park, where there are many other dogs and children.
+
+"Come on, Spot, let's go!" Lily says, holding a leash in her hand. She puts the leash on Spot's collar and pulls him to the door.
+
+"Wait, Lily, I want to come too!" Ben says, running after them. He grabs another leash and tries to put it on Spot's collar too.
+
+"No, Ben, you can't. Spot only needs one leash, not two. You are too slow and silly!" Lily says, pushing Ben away.
+
+Ben feels sad and angry. He thinks Lily is mean and bossy. He notices that Spot looks confused and unhappy too. He wants to play with both of them, not just one.
+
+"Please, Lily, let me help. Spot is our dog, not your dog. We can share the leash and walk him together," Ben says, holding out his hand.
+
+Lily looks at Ben and sees that he is serious. He is not trying to be funny or annoying. He really wants to be nice and have fun. She feels sorry for being rude and selfish. She remembers that sharing is caring and that they are a team.
+
+"Okay, Ben, you are right. I'm sorry for being mean and bossy. We can share the leash and walk Spot together. He will be happy and so will we," Lily says, smiling and giving Ben a hug.
+
+They both hold the leash and walk Spot to the park. Spot wags his tail and barks happily. He likes to have both Lily and Ben with him. They play with other dogs and children and have a great time. They learn that sharing is better than fighting and that they love each other very much.
+Tim is a dog. He likes to run and play with his owner, Sam. Sam is a boy. He likes to throw a ball and Tim likes to catch it. They are happy.
+
+One day, they go to the park. The park has grass and trees and flowers. It also has a pond. The pond has water and ducks and fish. Tim and Sam see the pond and want to play near it.
+

+
+"Tim, are you okay?" Sam asks. He runs to Tim. He sees Tim is wet and dirty and hurt. He hugs Tim. He is worried. He loves Tim.
+
+"I'm sorry, Sam. I lost the ball. The ball is in the pond. The ball is broken." Tim says. He is sorry. He loves Sam.
+
+"It's okay, Tim. I don't care about the ball. The ball is just a thing. You are my friend. You are more important than the ball. I'm glad you are not broken." Sam says. He is kind. He smiles.
+
+Tim and Sam hug. They are happy. They learn a lesson. Things can be broken, but friends can be fixed. Friends are more valuable than things.
+Tim and Sam were friends who liked to play with metal toys. They had metal cars, metal planes, metal robots and metal soldiers. They liked to make noises and pretend they were in a war.
+
+One day, they decided to march with their metal soldiers to the park. They put on their helmets and backpacks and took their metal guns. They said, "We are great soldiers. We can beat anyone."
+
+They marched along the street, making loud sounds and shouting orders. They did not see the big dog that was sleeping on the sidewalk. The dog woke up and saw the two boys. He did not like their noises and their metal guns. He thought they were trying to hurt him.
+
+The dog barked and ran towards Tim and Sam. He bit Tim's leg and made him fall. He grabbed Sam's backpack and tore it apart. He scattered their metal soldiers and toys all over the street.
+
+Tim and Sam were very scared and hurt. They cried and screamed for help. They wished they had not marched with their metal soldiers. They wished they had stayed home and played quietly.
+Lily and Ben were bored. They wanted to play with something new. They saw a big cabinet in the hall. It had a lock, but no key.
+
+"Let's open it!" Lily said. "Maybe there are toys inside."
+
+"But how?" Ben asked. "We need a key."
+
+Lily looked around. She saw a hammer on the floor. She picked it up.
+
+"Maybe this can break the lock," she said. She swung the hammer at the cabinet.
+
+Bang! The lock broke. The cabinet opened. Lily and Ben smiled.
+
+They looked inside. There were no toys. There were bottles and cans and boxes. They had strange words and pictures on them.
+
+"What are these?" Lily asked. She took out a bottle. It had a skull and a crossbones on it.
+
+"I don't know," Ben said. He took out a can. It had a flame and a warning on it.
+
+"Let's keep them," Lily said. "They look fun."
+
+"Okay," Ben said. He put the can in his pocket.
+
+They took out more bottles and cans and boxes. They did not see their mom coming.
+
+"Stop!" their mom shouted. She saw the cabinet and the hammer and the bottles and cans and boxes. She was very angry and scared. She had a harsh voice.
+
+"What are you doing?" she asked. "These are dangerous! They can hurt you or make you sick!"
+
+She took the bottles and cans and boxes from them. She threw them in the trash. She locked the cabinet again. She took the hammer away.
+
+She looked at Lily and Ben. They were sad and sorry. They did not know they did something bad.
+
+"You are in big trouble," their mom said. "You have to go to your room. No TV, no games, no snacks. You have to stay there until I say so."
+
+She took them to their room. She closed the door. She did not hug them or kiss them.
+
+Lily and Ben cried. They wished they did not open the cabinet. They wished they did not keep the bottles and cans and boxes. They wished their mom was not so harsh. They wished they had something to play with. They had nothing. They were bored. They were unhappy. The end.
+Ben and Mia were twins who liked to play in the sand. They had a big bucket and a small shovel. They wanted to make an island in the sand. They dug a hole and filled it with water. Then they piled up the sand around the hole. They put some shells and stones on the island.
+
+"Look, we made an island!" Ben said. He was very proud of their work.
+
+"Can we go on the island?" Mia asked. She wanted to explore the island.
+

He said hyenas were very clever and sometimes buried their food under the dirt, so other animals would not find it. He also said hyenas liked to laugh a lot, and sometimes made funny noises.
+
+Anna and Ben wanted to hear the hyenas laugh, so they asked the guide if they could wait for them to come out of the den. The guide said they could, but they had to be very quiet and gentle, and not get too close. He said hyenas could be dangerous if they felt threatened.
+
+They waited for a while, but the hyenas did not come out. Anna and Ben started to get bored and hungry. They decided to have a snack from their backpacks. They took out some cookies and juice and started to eat. They did not notice that one of the cookies fell out of Anna's hand and rolled into the hole.
+
+Suddenly, they heard a loud and funny noise. It sounded like a laugh, but also like a growl. They looked at the hole and saw a hyena poking its head out. It had the cookie in its mouth and was chewing it. It looked at them with its yellow eyes and made the noise again.
+
+Anna and Ben were scared and surprised. They dropped their snacks and ran back to the jeep. The guide saw them and asked them what happened. They told him about the hyena and the cookie. The guide smiled and said they were lucky the hyena did not chase them. He said they had just learned a lesson: never bury your food near a hyena's den. He also said they had just heard the hyena's laugh, which was very rare.
+
+Anna and Ben felt a little silly, but also happy. They had seen and heard something very special. They decided to be more careful with their food and more gentle with the animals. They continued their safari and had a wonderful time.
+Sara liked to zoom around the house with her toy car. She made loud noises as she drove it on the floor, the sofa and the table. She liked to pretend she was a racer and she always won.
+
+One morning, Sara smelled something yummy in the kitchen. She zoomed to see what it was. She saw her mom making waffles for breakfast. Sara loved waffles. They were sweet and soft and had holes for syrup.
+
+"Can I have a waffle, mom?" Sara asked.
+
+"Of course, sweetie. But first, you have to do something thoughtful for your brother. He is still sleeping in his room. Can you go and wake him up gently and give him a hug?" mom said.
+
+Sara nodded. She zoomed to her brother's room. She opened the door quietly and saw him snoring in his bed. She smiled and tiptoed to his side. She whispered in his ear, "Good morning, brother. I love you. Come and have waffles with me."
+
+Her brother opened his eyes and smiled back. He hugged Sara and said, "Thank you, sister. You are very thoughtful. I love you too. Let's go and have waffles together."
+
+Sara and her brother zoomed to the kitchen and joined mom for a delicious waffle breakfast. They were happy and full. Sara thought it was a good way to start the day.
+Anna was a helpful girl. She liked to help her mom and dad with many things. She helped them cook, clean, and play with her baby brother. She also liked to help them relax when they were tired or sore.
+
+One day, Anna saw her mom lying on the couch. Her mom had a frown on her face and rubbed her neck. Anna asked, "Mom, are you okay?"
+
+Her mom said, "I'm fine, sweetie. I just have a little pain in my neck. I worked too hard today."
+
+Anna wanted to make her mom feel better. She remembered that her dad sometimes gave her mom a massage. A massage was when you used your hands to gently press and rub someone's back, neck, or shoulders. It made them feel good and relaxed.
+
+Anna said, "Mom, can I give you a massage? I want to help you."
+
+Her mom smiled and said, "That's very kind of you, Anna. Thank you. You can give me a massage if you want."
+
+Anna climbed on the couch and sat behind her mom. She put her small hands on her mom's neck and started to massage it. She copied what her dad did. She pressed and rubbed and moved her hands up and down. She asked, "Mom, do you like it? Do you feel better?"
+
+Her mom said, "Yes, Anna, I like it very much. You are very good at giving massages. You make me feel much better. You are a helpful and loving girl. I'm so proud of you."
+
+Anna felt happy. She understood that her mom was happy too. She hugged her mom and said, "I love you, Mom. You are the best mom in the world."
+
+Her mom hugged her back and said, "I love you too, Anna. You are the best daughter in the world."
+Tom and Anna like to create things with paper and glue. They make animals, cars, houses and more. They also like to label their things with their names. Tom writes "Tom" on his things and Anna writes "Anna" on hers.
+
+One day, they have a big fight. Tom says Anna's things are crazy and ugly. Anna says Tom's things are boring and silly. They start to tear and rip each other's things. They yell and cry and make a big mess.
+
+Mom comes and sees the paper and glue everywhere. She is very angry and sad. She says Tom and Anna are naughty and mean. She takes away their paper and glue and puts them in time out. She says they can't create anything until they say sorry and hug.
+
+Tom and Anna sit in their corners and sulk. They don't want to say sorry or hug. They think Mom is unfair and harsh. They miss their paper and glue and their things. They wish they didn't fight and ruin everything. But they are too proud and stubborn to admit it. They stay in time out for a long time and feel miserable.
+Lily loved sunflowers. She liked to look at their yellow faces and feel their soft petals. She had a sunflower seed that she planted in a pot. She watered it every day and put it near the window.
+
+One day, the seed sprouted. Lily was very happy. She watched the green stem grow taller and taller. She waited for the flower to come out. She wanted to see its smile.
+
+But the sunflower grew too fast. It became huge. It was bigger than Lily, bigger than the pot, bigger than the window. It pushed against the glass and cracked it. It reached for the sun and blocked the light. It did not bow to anyone.
+
+Lily was scared. She tried to pull the sunflower out of the pot, but it was too strong. It wrapped its stem around her and squeezed her. It did not let her go. It did not care about her.
+
+Lily cried for help, but no one heard her. She was trapped by the sunflower. She wished she never planted it. She wished it was small and friendly. She wished it was gone.
+Tommy loves to play his guitar. He likes to make loud noises and sing funny songs. He plays his guitar every day after school. He has a red guitar with shiny strings.
+
+One day, Tommy's mom made him a tasty snack. She gave him a big apple and some cheese. Tommy was very happy. He said, "Thank you, mom. This is yummy."
+
+He took his snack and his guitar to his room. He put his snack on his bed and his guitar on the floor. He started to play his guitar and sing. He sang, "I love my guitar, it is so fun. I love my snack, it is so yum."
+
+But Tommy was not careful. He dropped some cheese on his guitar. He did not see it. He kept playing and singing. He sang, "I am a rock star, I am so cool. I am a good boy, I follow the rules."
+
+Then his mom came to his room. She heard his music and smiled. She said, "Tommy, you are very talented. But you are also very messy. Look at your guitar. It has cheese on it."
+
+Tommy looked at his guitar. He saw the cheese. He felt bad. He said, "Oh no, mom. I am sorry. I did not mean to make my guitar dirty."
+
+His mom said, "It's okay, Tommy. Accidents happen. But you have to wipe your guitar. Cheese can make it smell bad and hurt the strings. Here, use this cloth. Be gentle and careful."
+
+Tommy took the cloth and wiped his guitar. He wiped off the cheese and made his guitar clean and shiny again. He said, "There, mom. Is it better now?"
+
+His mom said, "Yes, Tommy. It is much better. You did a good job. Now you can play your guitar again. But remember to eat your snack first. And don't drop any more cheese on your guitar."
+
+Tommy said, "Okay, mom. I will. Thank you for the cloth. And thank you for the tasty snack. I love you, mom."
+
+He gave his mom a hug and a kiss. Then he ate his snack and played his guitar. He sang, "I love my mom, she is so nice. She makes me snacks and gives me advice."
+Tom and Lily were twins who loved to play with their kitten, Snowy. Snowy was white and fluffy and liked to chase balls and strings. One day, Tom and Lily found a big box in the garage. They decided to make a house for Snowy with the box.
+
+They cut a door and a window in the box and decorated it with stickers and crayons. They put a blanket and a bowl inside the box and called Snowy to come and see. Snowy ran to the box and sniffed it. He liked the house and went inside.
+
+"Snowy is happy in his new house," Tom said.
+
+"Yes, he is," Lily agreed. "But maybe he is lonely. Maybe he needs a friend."
+
+Lily suggested, "Let's go to the pet shop and get another kitten for Snowy. Then he will have someone to play with and cuddle with."
+
+Tom thought that was a good idea. He liked kittens and wanted to see more of them. He said, "OK, let's go. But we have to ask Mom first."
+
+They ran to the kitchen and asked Mom if they could go to the pet shop and get another kitten. Mom smiled and said, "That's very kind of you to think of Snowy, but I don't think we can get another kitten right now. We already have one and he needs a lot of care and attention. Besides, the pet shop is too far and we don't have time today."
+
+Tom and Lily felt sad. They really wanted another kitten for Snowy. They said, "But Mom, please. Snowy is lonely. He needs a friend."
+
+Mom said, "Snowy is not lonely. He has you and me and Dad. He loves us and we love him. He also has other friends in the neighborhood. He can play with the birds and the squirrels and the butterflies. He doesn't need another kitten. He is happy with what he has."
+
+Tom and Lily looked at each other. They realized that Mom was right. Snowy was happy with what he had. He didn't need another kitten. He had a family and a home and a lot of friends. They also realized that they were happy with what they had. They had a kitten and a family and a home and a lot of friends. They didn't need another kitten. They said, "You're right, Mom. We're sorry. We love Snowy and we love you. Thank you for being wise and kind."
+
+Mom hugged them and said, "I love you too. And I'm proud of you for being thoughtful and grateful. Now, why don't we go and play with Snowy in his new house?"
+
+They agreed and ran to the garage. They found Snowy sleeping on the blanket in the box. They gently woke him up and played with him. They threw balls and strings and tickled his belly. Snowy purred and licked their faces. He was happy in his new house. He was happy with his family and his friends. He was happy with what he had.
+
+The end.
+Tom liked to question everything. He always asked why, how, what, and where. He wanted to know about the world and how it worked. One day, he found a caterpillar on a leaf. He was curious about it.
+
+"Hello, caterpillar," he said. "What are you doing on the leaf?"
+
+The caterpillar did not answer. It was busy eating the leaf. Tom touched the caterpillar gently. It was soft and fuzzy.
+
+"Are you hungry, caterpillar?" he asked. "Do you like the leaf?"
+
+The caterpillar did not answer. It ate some more of the leaf. Tom watched the caterpillar. It was green and yellow and had black spots.
+
+"Where are you going, caterpillar?" he asked. "Do you have a home?"
+
+The caterpillar did not answer. It crawled to the edge of the leaf. Tom followed the caterpillar. It dropped to the ground and hid under a rock.
+
+"Bye, caterpillar," he said. "Maybe I will see you again."
+
+Tom went back to his house. He told his mom about the caterpillar. She smiled and said, "Maybe the caterpillar will become a butterfly someday. Then you can see it fly in the sky."
+
+Tom liked that idea. He hoped the caterpillar was happy under the rock. He wondered what it would look like as a butterfly. He had many questions. He liked to question everything.
+Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They gave him a carrot nose and two buttons for eyes.
+
+"Hello, Mr. Snowman!" Lily said. "Do you want to come inside and warm up?"
+
+"No, thank you," Ben said in a funny voice, pretending to be the snowman. "I like the cold. But I have a wish. I want to see Santa Claus."
+
+Lily and Ben laughed. They knew Santa Claus would come on Christmas Eve and bring them presents. They had been good all year.
+
+"How will you see Santa Claus?" Lily asked the snowman.
+
+"I will wait by the chimney," Ben said. "Maybe he will notice me and say hello."
+
+Lily and Ben thought that was a clever idea. They went inside and told their mom about their snowman and his wish.
+
+"That's very sweet," their mom said. "But you know, Santa Claus is very busy. He might not have time to mention every snowman he sees. He has to deliver gifts to all the children in the world."
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They understood. But they still hoped their snowman would get his wish.
+
+That night, they went to bed early and dreamed of Santa Claus. They did not hear the sleigh bells or the hoofs on the roof. They did not see the red suit or the white beard. But when they woke up on Christmas morning, they found a surprise by the chimney.
+
+It was a note from Santa Claus. It said:
+
+"Dear Lily and Ben,
+
+Thank you for making such a nice snowman. He made me smile. I mentioned him to Rudolph and the other reindeer. They liked him too. Here are some presents for you. I hope you enjoy them.
+
+Merry Christmas!
+
+Santa Claus"
+
+Lily and Ben were overjoyed. They hugged each other and ran outside to thank their snowman. He was still there, with his hat and scarf and carrot nose. He looked happy.
+
+"Thank you, Mr. Snowman!" Lily and Ben said. "You are the best snowman ever!"
+
+The snowman did not say anything. But he winked at them with one of his button eyes.
+Sara and Ben are best friends. They like to play together in the park. They also like to talk about their dreams. Sara wants to be a pretty dancer. Ben wants to be a brave firefighter.
+
+One day, Sara and Ben see a big poster. It says there is a dance show in the park. Sara is very happy. She wants to see the pretty dancers. She asks Ben to go with her.
+
+But Ben does not want to go. He says he does not like dancing. He says it is boring and silly. He says he only likes fire trucks and hoses. He says he wants to go to the fire station instead.
+
+Sara is very sad. She does not understand why Ben does not like dancing. She thinks dancing is fun and beautiful. She says to Ben, "Why are you so mean? Dancing is my dream. Don't you want to see my dream?"
+
+Ben says, "No, I don't. Your dream is stupid. My dream is better. Firefighters are cooler than dancers. You should quit your dream and like my dream."
+
+Sara is very angry. She says to Ben, "No, I won't. My dream is not stupid. My dream is mine. You can't tell me what to like. You should quit being my friend and go away."
+
+Sara and Ben stop talking. They turn away from each other. They walk in different directions. They are not best friends anymore. They are very lonely. They miss each other. They wish they could share their dreams.
+Ben was a shy boy who liked to play with his toy cars. He had many cars of different colors and sizes, but his favorite was a red automobile that looked very fast and shiny. He always kept it in his room and never let anyone touch it.
+
+One day, he went to the park with his mom and brought his red automobile with him. He wanted to show it to his friends and make them say wow. He put it on the grass and ran to the swings, leaving it alone for a moment.
+
+But when he came back, his red automobile was gone. He looked around and saw a big boy holding it in his hand. The big boy had a mean face and a loud voice. He said, "This is my car now. It's better than yours. You can't have it back."
+
+Ben felt very sad and angry. He wanted to get his red automobile back, but he was too shy to fight with the big boy. He ran to his mom and told her what happened. His mom was very kind and hugged him. She said, "Don't worry, Ben. We'll find a way to get your car back. Let's go talk to the big boy and his mom."
+
+They walked to the big boy and his mom, who were sitting on a bench. Ben's mom said, "Excuse me, ma'am. I think your son has my son's car. He stole it from him when he was playing. Can you please give it back?"
+
+The big boy's mom looked surprised and angry. She said, "What? No, he didn't. This is his car. He got it for his birthday. How dare you accuse him of stealing?"
+
+Ben's mom said, "I'm sorry, but I'm sure this is Ben's car. Look, it has his name on the bottom. See? B-E-N. Ben."
+
+The big boy's mom looked at the bottom of the car and saw the name. She realized she was wrong and felt ashamed. She said, "Oh, I'm so sorry. I didn't know. Here, take it back. I'm sorry, Ben. And you, young man, you should never steal from anyone. That's very bad. Say sorry to Ben, too."
+
+The big boy said, "Sorry, Ben. I was just jealous of your car. It's very cool. Can we be friends?"
+
+Ben smiled and said, "Sure, we can be friends. Do you want to play with my car?"
+
+The big boy said, "Yes, please. Can I?"
+
+Ben said, "Yes, you can. But only if you ask nicely and share."
+
+The big boy said, "OK, I will. Thank you, Ben."
+
+Ben and the big boy played with the red automobile together and had fun. Ben was not shy anymore. He learned that sometimes you have to stand up for yourself and your things, but also that you can make new friends by being kind and generous.
+Lily and Sam liked to play with dinosaurs. They had many dinosaurs of different colors and sizes. They pretended to make them roar and run and fight.
+
+One day, they found a new dinosaur in the park. It was very big and green and had sharp teeth. They were very excited and ran to examine it.
+
+"Wow, look at this dinosaur!" Sam said. "It is so cool and scary!"
+
+Lily nodded. She touched the dinosaur's skin. It felt hard and cold. She looked at its eyes. They were black and shiny.
+
+"Maybe it is a real dinosaur!" Lily said. "Maybe it came from a long time ago!"
+
+Sam laughed. He did not think it was a real dinosaur. He thought it was a toy or a statue. He climbed on the dinosaur's back. He pretended to ride it.
+
+"Yee-haw!" Sam shouted. "I am the king of the dinosaurs!"
+
+Lily wanted to join him. She climbed on the dinosaur's tail. She smiled and waved.
+
+"Me too!" Lily said. "I am the queen of the dinosaurs!"
+
+But then, something bad happened. The dinosaur moved. It was not a toy or a statue. It was a real dinosaur. It was very hungry and angry. It had been sleeping and waiting for food. It saw Lily and Sam on its body. It did not like them. It opened its mouth and roared.
+
+Lily and Sam were very scared. They tried to get off the dinosaur. But it was too late. The dinosaur snapped its jaws and ate them. It did not care that they were thin and small. It was happy to have a snack.
+
+The end.
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play in the yard. One day, they see a big package by the door. It has a red bow on it.
+
+"Wow, what is that?" Lily asks.
+
+"Maybe it is a gift for us!" Ben says.
+
+They run to the package and try to lift it. It is very heavy. They pull and push, but it does not move.
+
+"Help me, Lily!" Ben says.
+
+"I am helping, Ben!" Lily says.
+
+They try harder and harder. They do not hear Mom calling them.
+
+"Ben! Lily! Come inside! It is time for lunch!" Mom says.
+
+But they do not listen. They want to open the package. They think it has something good inside.
+
+Suddenly, the package makes a loud noise. BOOM! It explodes. Smoke and fire come out. Lily and Ben scream. They are hurt and scared.
+
+Mom hears the noise and runs outside. She sees the package and the twins. She is shocked and sad.
+
+"Oh no! What have you done?" Mom says.
+
+She hugs them and cries. She calls for help. The package was not a gift. It was a trap. Someone bad left it there. Lily and Ben did not know. They made a big mistake. They are sorry. But it is too late.
+Lily liked cherries very much. She liked how they were red and sweet and had a little stem. She liked to grab them from the bowl and pop them in her mouth. Sometimes she would make a necklace with the stems and wear it around her neck.
+
+One day, Lily saw a very unusual cherry on the tree. It was not red, but purple. It was not round, but long. It had no stem, but a tail. Lily was curious and wanted to try it. She climbed on a chair and reached for the cherry.
+
+But the cherry was not a cherry at all. It was a snake! The snake hissed and bit Lily's hand. Lily screamed and let go of the snake. She ran to her mom and showed her the bite. Her mom was scared and angry. She took Lily to the doctor and gave her some medicine.
+
+The doctor said Lily was lucky. The snake was not very poisonous and she would be fine. He told Lily to never grab things that look unusual. He said she should only eat cherries that are red and round and have stems. Lily nodded and said sorry. She learned her lesson and never grabbed a snake again.
+Lily liked to play in the garden. She liked to look for bugs and flowers and rocks. One day, she saw something new. It was a lizard. It had green skin and a long tail. It was very fast and shy.
+
+Lily wanted to be friends with the lizard. She followed it quietly. She did not want to scare it. She whispered, "Hello, lizard. I am Lily. Do you want to play with me?" The lizard stopped and looked at her. It did not say anything.
+
+Lily smiled and reached out her hand. She wanted to touch the lizard. But the lizard was afraid. It ran away and hid under a big leaf. Lily was sad. She said, "Please, lizard. Don't be scared. I won't hurt you. I just want to be your friend."
+
+She waited for a long time. She was very calm and still. She hoped the lizard would come out. She whispered, "Please, lizard. Come out. I have something for you." She had a small berry in her hand. She thought the lizard might like it.
+
+After a while, the lizard peeked out from under the leaf. It saw the berry. It was hungry and curious. It came out slowly. It looked at Lily. Lily looked at the lizard. They looked at each other. They did not make any noise.
+
+Lily moved her hand closer. The lizard moved its head closer. They touched. The lizard felt the berry. It tasted good. It ate it. Lily felt the lizard. It was soft and warm. She petted it. The lizard liked it. It licked her. Lily laughed. The lizard smiled. They were friends.
+Lily was a very independent girl. She liked to do things by herself, without help from anyone. She had a big garden where she planted flowers and vegetables. She also had a pet dog, Spot, who loved to dig holes in the garden.
+
+One day, Lily found a sign in the garden. It said "Do not bury here". Lily was curious. She wondered what was under the sign. She decided to dig and find out. She took her shovel and started to dig. Spot followed her and helped her.
+
+But as they dug, they hit something hard. It was a metal box. Lily opened it and saw a lot of shiny things inside. They were jewels and coins. Lily was amazed. She thought she had found a treasure. She wanted to keep it for herself. She did not tell anyone about it.
+
+But the next day, a man came to the garden. He was angry. He said he was the owner of the box. He said he had buried it there for safekeeping. He said he had put the sign there to warn people not to dig. He said Lily and Spot had stolen his treasure. He wanted it back.
+
+Lily was scared. She did not know what to do. She realized she had made a mistake. She had not respected the sign. She had not asked for permission. She had not shared her discovery. She had been too independent and greedy.
+
+She apologized to the man. She gave him back his box. She said she was sorry for digging and taking his treasure. She said she had learned her lesson. She said she would be more careful and respectful in the future.
+
+The man was still angry, but he accepted her apology. He took his box and left. Lily felt sad, but also relieved. She hugged Spot and thanked him for being her friend. She decided to plant some new flowers and vegetables in the garden. She decided to be more independent, but also more cooperative and generous. She decided to follow the signs and the rules. She decided to be a better girl.
+Lily was very scared. Today she had to speak in front of the class. It was an exam. She had to say what she liked and what she did not like. She practiced at home with her mom and dad, but she still felt nervous.
+
+When it was her turn, she walked to the front of the room. She saw all the eyes looking at her. She opened her mouth, but no words came out. She tried again, but only a squeak. She felt her face get hot. She wanted to run away.
+
+The teacher smiled at her. She said, "It's okay, Lily. You can do it. Just take a deep breath and relax. We are all your friends here. We want to hear what you have to say."
+
+Lily took a deep breath. She looked at the teacher. She looked at her best friend, Anna, who gave her a thumbs up. She felt a little better. She said, "Hi, I'm Lily. I like flowers and books and ice cream. I don't like spiders and loud noises and broccoli. Thank you for listening."
+
+The class clapped for her. Lily smiled. She was proud of herself. She was not ashamed anymore. She spoke in front of the class. She passed the exam. She went back to her seat and hugged Anna. She was happy.
+Anna and Ben were going to visit their grandma, who lived in a big house in the city. They packed their bags with clothes, toys and books. They were excited to see grandma, who always gave them hugs and cookies.
+
+When they arrived, grandma was waiting for them at the door. She smiled and said, "Hello, my darlings! Come in, come in! I'm so happy to see you!"
+
+She took them to their room, where they could unpack their bags. Anna opened her bag and took out a soft, fluffy teddy bear. She hugged it and said, "This is my favorite toy. I like its texture. It feels nice and warm."
+
+Ben opened his bag and took out a shiny, metal car. He zoomed it on the floor and said, "This is my favorite toy. I like its texture. It feels smooth and cool."
+
+Grandma watched them and said, "You have very nice toys, my darlings. You are very lucky. Some children don't have any toys at all."
+
+Anna and Ben looked at grandma and said, "Why not, grandma? Why don't some children have toys?"
+
+Grandma sighed and said, "Because some children are poor, my darlings. They don't have enough money to buy toys, or clothes, or food. They live in small, dirty houses, or sometimes on the street. They are very sad and hungry."
+
+Anna and Ben felt sorry for the poor children. They wondered how they could help them. They asked grandma, "Can we give some of our toys to the poor children, grandma? We have so many, and we don't need them all."
+
+Grandma smiled and said, "That's very kind of you, my darlings. You have very big hearts. Yes, we can give some of your toys to the poor children. There is a charity shop near here, where we can donate them. They will sell them for a low price, and use the money to help the poor children."
+
+Anna and Ben nodded and said, "OK, grandma. Let's do that. Let's make the poor children happy."
+
+They hugged grandma and said, "We love you, grandma. You are very wise and good."
+
+Grandma hugged them back and said, "I love you too, my darlings. You are very sweet and generous."
+Sara liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Lily. Lily had a pink skirt and long hair. Sara liked to brush her hair and dress her up. Sara was happy when she played with Lily.
+
+One day, Sara's big brother Tom came into her room. He was angry because Sara had taken his toy car. He wanted to make Sara sad. He saw Sara playing with Lily. He had a bad idea. He grabbed Lily from Sara and said, "This is my doll now. You can't have her. She is ugly and stupid."
+
+Sara was fearful. She loved Lily. She did not want Tom to take her. She cried and said, "No, Tom, no! Give me back Lily! She is my doll. She is pretty and smart. You are mean and bad."
+
+Tom did not listen to Sara. He laughed and said, "No, Sara, no! I will keep Lily. I will make her pretty and smart. Watch this." He took a pair of scissors and cut Lily's hair. He tore Lily's skirt. He scratched Lily's face. He threw Lily on the floor.
+
+Sara was very fearful. She saw what Tom did to Lily. She screamed and ran to Lily. She picked her up and hugged her. She tried to fix her hair and her skirt and her face. But it was too late. Lily was broken. Sara was sad. She hated Tom. She wished he would go away. She wished Lily would be okay. But she knew it was not true. Tom had ruined Lily. Sara had lost her favorite doll. The end.
+Lily and Tom were playing with their toys in the living room. Lily had a doll and Tom had a car. They were having fun until Tom saw Lily's doll shoes.
+
+"Can I try them on?" Tom asked.
+
+"No, they are mine!" Lily said. "They are for dolls, not for cars!"
+
+"But I want to see if they fit!" Tom said. He grabbed one of the shoes and tried to put it on his car's wheel. But it was too small and it got stuck.
+
+"Hey, give it back!" Lily shouted. She pulled the shoe, but it did not come off. She pulled harder and harder, and Tom pulled too.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Tom cried. He let go of the shoe and the car. The shoe flew off and hit Tom's foot. It hurt a lot.
+
+Lily saw Tom's foot and felt sorry. She remembered that she had a band-aid in her pocket. She took it out and gave it to Tom.
+
+"Here, this will make it better," she said. She helped Tom put the band-aid on his foot.
+
+"Thank you, Lily," Tom said. He smiled and hugged her.
+
+"I'm sorry, Tom," Lily said. "I should have shared with you."
+
+"It's okay, Lily," Tom said. "I should have asked nicely."
+
+They hugged again and went back to playing with their toys. They learned to be kind and to share.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They had a lot of fun.
+
+But then Tom tripped and fell. He hurt his knee. It was bleeding and it hurt a lot. He cried and cried.
+
+Lily ran to him and hugged him. She said, "Don't cry, Tom. I am here. I will help you."
+
+She took her scarf and wrapped it around his knee. She said, "This will make it better. It will stop the blood and keep it warm."
+
+Tom stopped crying. He said, "Thank you, Lily. You are a good friend. You value me."
+
+Lily smiled. She said, "You are welcome, Tom. You are a good friend too. You value me too."
+
+They hugged again. They decided to go home and tell their moms what happened. They hoped their moms would not be mad. They hoped their knee would heal soon. They knew they had each other. They were not afraid.
+One day, a boy and a girl were playing with blocks. They wanted to build a big tower, but they had different ideas. The boy wanted to use blue blocks, and the girl wanted to use red blocks. They started to argue and shout.
+
+"Blue is better!" the boy said.
+
+"No, red is better!" the girl said.
+
+They pushed and pulled the blocks, and the tower fell down. They were both sad and angry.
+
+Then, their mom came and saw the mess. She asked them what happened. They told her their story, and she smiled.
+
+"Both blue and red are good colors," she said. "You can use both to make a beautiful tower. But you have to share and work together. Do you know how to show that you are sorry and want to be friends?"
+
+The boy and the girl shook their heads. Their mom showed them how to put their fingers together to make a sign. She said it was a sign of peace and love.
+
+"Can you try it?" she asked.
+
+The boy and the girl looked at each other. They felt sorry for their fight. They put their fingers together and made the sign. They smiled and hugged.
+
+"Peaceful!" they said.
+
+They went back to their blocks and started to build a new tower. They used blue and red blocks, and they took turns and helped each other. The tower was bigger and prettier than before. They were happy and proud.
+
+The moral of the story is: It is better to share and work together than to fight and be selfish. You can show that you are sorry and want to be friends by making a sign of peace and love.
+Tom and Anna were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a man with a big cart. The cart had many ice-creams. Tom and Anna wanted ice-creams. They ran to the man and asked for ice-creams.
+
+The man said, "You can have ice-creams, but you have to pay me. Do you have money?"
+
+Tom and Anna shook their heads. They did not have money. They felt sad.
+
+The man said, "I have an idea. You can have ice-creams, if you do something for me. You have to observe the people in the park and tell me what they do. It is important for me to know. Can you do that?"
+
+Tom and Anna nodded. They thought it was easy. They wanted ice-creams. They agreed to do what the man said.
+
+The man gave them ice-creams and a notebook. He said, "Write down what you see. Come back to me when you are done."
+
+Tom and Anna took the ice-creams and the notebook. They went to a bench and ate their ice-creams. They were happy. They looked at the people in the park and wrote down what they did. They wrote things like:
+
+- A lady with a dog. The dog is brown. The lady is wearing a hat.
+- A boy with a ball. The ball is red. The boy is kicking the ball.
+- A girl with a bike. The bike is pink. The girl is riding the bike.
+
+They did not think it was wrong to observe the people. They did not know the man was bad. The man was a spy. He wanted to know what the people did, because he wanted to hurt them.
+
+When Tom and Anna finished their ice-creams and their notebook, they went back to the man. They gave him the notebook and said, "We did what you said. We observed the people and wrote down what they did. Can we have more ice-creams?"
+
+The man smiled. He took the notebook and said, "Thank you. You did a good job. You helped me a lot. But I am sorry, I have no more ice-creams for you. You can go now."
+
+Tom and Anna felt confused. They wanted more ice-creams. They did not understand why the man had no more ice-creams. They felt cheated.
+
+The man laughed. He said, "You are silly. You should not trust strangers. You should not observe people without their permission. You should not do things for ice-creams. You should learn to be careful and respectful. Goodbye."
+
+The man left with the notebook. He went to his car and drove away. He was happy. He had the information he needed. He was going to use it to do bad things.
+
+Tom and Anna felt sad. They felt sorry. They realized they made a mistake. They wished they had not listened to the man. They wished they had not observed the people. They wished they had not wanted ice-creams so much. They learned a lesson. They learned to be more careful and respectful. They learned to not trust strangers. They learned to not do things for ice-creams. They learned to value what is important.
+Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big car. It is shiny and new. It has four doors and a big trunk. Tom and Sue think it is a luxury car.
+
+They want to see the luxury car up close. They run to the car. They touch the car. They look inside the car. They see leather seats and a big screen. They think the car is very nice.
+
+But the owner of the car is not happy. He sees Tom and Sue on his car. He is angry. He thinks they are filthy. He thinks they make his car dirty. He yells at them. He tells them to go away. He sends them away.
+
+Tom and Sue are scared. They run away from the car. They go back to the park. They are sad. They do not understand why the owner of the car is so mean. They think he is not nice. They do not like him. They like their park better. They play in the park. They are happy.
+Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big hole in the ground. It looked like a fun place to hide.
+
+"Let's go in there!" Ben said. "Maybe we can find treasure!"
+
+Lily was not sure. She thought the hole was dark and scary. But she did not want to make Ben sad. So she followed him into the hole.
+
+They crawled and crawled. They did not find any treasure. They only found dirt and rocks and bugs. They wanted to go back. But they could not. The hole was too small and long. They were trapped.
+
+"Help! Help!" they shouted. But no one heard them. No one knew they were in the hole. They were alone and afraid.
+
+They cried and hugged each other. They hoped someone would find them soon. But no one did. They remained in the hole until it was night. And then it was cold. And then they were hungry. And then they were sick.
+
+They were not lucky. They were very unlucky. They wished they never went into the hole. They wished they listened to Lily. They wished they stayed in the park. But it was too late. They were trapped. And they never got out.
+Lily and Sam went to the beach with Mom and Dad. They liked to play in the sand and water. They brought a bucket and a shovel to make sand castles.
+
+Lily and Sam found a little shell in the sand. It was shiny and pretty. They wanted to keep it. They decided to bury it in the sand so no one else would take it. They dug a hole with their shovel and put the shell inside. Then they covered it with sand and marked it with a stick.
+
+They went to play in the water for a while. They splashed and laughed. They saw some fish and crabs. They had fun.
+
+They came back to the sand to find their shell. But they could not see the stick. The wind had blown it away. They looked and looked, but they could not find the hole. They were sad. They had lost their shell.
+
+Mom and Dad saw them crying. They asked them what was wrong. Lily and Sam told them about the shell. Mom and Dad hugged them and said they were sorry. They said they could look for another shell. They said they could also take a picture of the beach to remember it.
+
+Lily and Sam felt a little better. They wiped their tears and smiled. They went to look for another shell. They found one that was bigger and prettier. They showed it to Mom and Dad. They said they would not bury it. They said they would take it home and put it on their shelf. They said they loved the beach.
+Tom and Lily are playing in the yard. They have bikes and helmets. They like to ride fast and have fun.
+
+"Look at me, Lily!" Tom says. "I can go up the hill and down again!"
+
+"Wow, Tom, you are very good!" Lily says. "But be careful, don't fall!"
+
+Tom smiles and pedals harder. He goes up the hill and down again. But he does not see the big rock. He hits the rock and falls off his bike. His helmet falls too.
+
+"Tom, are you okay?" Lily asks. She runs to him and helps him get up.
+
+"I'm okay, Lily, don't worry," Tom says. He rubs his knee and his elbow. They are a little red and hurt. "But look at my helmet. It is dirty and has a scratch."
+
+Lily looks at his helmet. It is dirty and has a scratch. She feels sorry for Tom.
+
+"I have an idea, Tom," she says. "Let's go inside and clean your helmet. Maybe we can make it look nice again."
+
+"Okay, Lily, that sounds good," Tom says. He picks up his helmet and his bike. They go inside the house.
+
+They find a cloth and some water. They wipe the dirt off the helmet. They see a sticker in a drawer. It has a cute star on it.
+
+"Look, Tom, this sticker is cute," Lily says. "Maybe we can put it on your helmet. It will cover the scratch and make it look pretty."
+
+"Great idea, Lily," Tom says. He likes the sticker. He peels it off and sticks it on his helmet. It covers the scratch and makes it look pretty.
+
+"Wow, Tom, your helmet looks nice now," Lily says. She smiles and hugs him.
+
+"Thank you, Lily, you are a good friend," Tom says. He smiles and hugs her back.
+
+They put on their helmets and go back to the yard. They ride their bikes and have fun. They are happy.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play with shapes. They have a big box of shapes. They have circles, squares, triangles, and more.
+
+One day, they want to make a picture with shapes. They find a big paper and some glue. They start to glue shapes on the paper. Anna glues a circle for the sun. Ben glues a square for the house. They glue more shapes for the grass, the sky, the flowers, and the door.
+
+"Look, Ben, I have a triangle," Anna says. "What can I do with a triangle?"
+
+"You can make a roof for the house," Ben says. "Or you can make a hat for the sun."
+
+Anna thinks. She likes both ideas. She decides to make a hat for the sun. She glues the triangle on top of the circle. She smiles. She thinks the sun looks funny with a hat.
+
+"Good job, Anna," Ben says. "The sun is happy with a hat."
+
+They finish their picture. They are proud of their work. They want to show their picture to their mom and dad.
+
+"Let's hang our picture on the wall," Anna says. "Then mom and dad can see it when they come home."
+
+"OK, Anna," Ben says. "But we need some tape."
+
+They look for some tape. They find some tape in the drawer. They tape their picture on the wall. They stand back and admire their picture.
+
+"We did it, Ben," Anna says. "We made a beautiful picture with shapes."
+
+"Yes, we did, Anna," Ben says. "We are very good at shapes."
+
+They hug each other. They are happy. They are ready to show their picture to their mom and dad. They wait for them to come home. They hope they will like their picture. They think they will.
+Lily loved to help her mother in the garden. She had a small spray bottle that she used to water the flowers. She felt very enthusiastic when she saw the bright colors and smelled the sweet scents.
+
+One day, she saw a butterfly on a rose. She wanted to spray it gently, to make it happy. She tiptoed closer and lifted her spray bottle. But the butterfly flew away before she could spray it. Lily felt sad and chased after it.
+
+"Wait, butterfly, wait!" she shouted. "I want to be your friend!"
+
+Her mother heard her and smiled. She called out to her.
+
+"Lily, come here, my dear. I have something for you."
+
+Lily ran back to her mother, curious. Her mother held out a small book with a picture of a butterfly on the cover.
+
+"This is a book about butterflies," her mother said. "It tells you their names, their colors, and their habits. You can learn more about them and how to be kind to them."
+
+Lily's eyes sparkled. She hugged her mother and thanked her.
+
+"Thank you, mother, thank you! I love you and I love butterflies!"
+
+She opened the book and started to read. She felt very enthusiastic again. She hoped to see the butterfly again and spray it with love.
+Lila loved to collect things. She collected rocks, shells, feathers, and buttons. She kept them in a big jar in her room. She liked to look at them and sort them by color, shape, and size.
+
+One day, her grandma came to visit. She brought Lila a present. It was a new apron. It was blue with yellow flowers. Lila was very happy. She thanked her grandma and gave her a hug.
+
+"Can I help you bake cookies, grandma?" Lila asked.
+
+"Of course, my dear. You are very gifted at baking. You can help me measure, mix, and roll the dough. But first, let's put on your apron. We don't want to get your clothes dirty."
+
+Lila put on her apron and tied it around her waist. She felt very proud. She followed her grandma to the kitchen. They had a lot of fun baking cookies. They made different shapes and decorated them with icing and sprinkles.
+
+When the cookies were done, they put them on a plate. Lila took one and bit into it. It was delicious. She smiled at her grandma.
+
+"Grandma, you are the best. I love you and I love your cookies. And I love my apron. It is my favorite thing to collect."
+Sara and Tom are playing in the living room. They have many toys and books, but they want to do something new. Sara sees a big box in the corner. She runs to the box and opens it. Inside, she finds many crayons of different colors.
+
+"Look, Tom, crayons!" Sara says. "We can draw with them!"
+
+Tom comes to the box and picks up a crayon. He likes the blue one. He looks for a paper to draw on, but he does not see any.
+
+"Where can we draw, Sara?" Tom asks.
+
+Sara thinks for a moment. She sees the wall behind the sofa. It is white and empty.
+
+"Let's draw on the wall!" Sara says. "It is like a big paper!"
+
+Tom agrees. He and Sara enter behind the sofa with their crayons. They start to draw on the wall. They draw houses, trees, flowers, animals, and people. They use many colors and make the wall bright and beautiful.
+
+They are having fun, but they do not hear their mom coming home. She opens the door and sees the living room. She sees the box of crayons, the toys and books, and the sofa. She walks to the sofa and looks behind it. She sees Sara and Tom and the wall.
+
+"Sara! Tom! What have you done?" Mom says. "You cannot draw on the wall! That is naughty!"
+
+Sara and Tom stop drawing. They look at their mom and the wall. They see that they have made a big mess. They feel sorry and scared.
+
+"We are sorry, Mom," Sara says. "We just wanted to draw."
+
+Mom is angry, but she also loves Sara and Tom. She sighs and hugs them.
+
+"I know you wanted to draw, but you have to ask me first," Mom says. "The wall is not for drawing. You have to use paper. Come on, let's clean the wall and find some paper for you."
+
+Sara and Tom nod. They help Mom clean the wall with a cloth and some water. They say sorry again and promise not to draw on the wall again. Mom finds some paper and gives it to them. She also gives them some stickers and a hug.
+
+"Here you go, Sara and Tom," Mom says. "You can draw on the paper with your crayons. You can also use the stickers to decorate your drawings. But remember, only on the paper, okay?"
+
+Sara and Tom say okay. They thank Mom and go back to the living room. They draw on the paper with their crayons and use the stickers. They are happy and careful. They do not enter behind the sofa again.
+Tommy loved to clap his hands. He clapped when he was happy, when he saw something funny, or when he wanted to make noise. He clapped so much that his mom and dad sometimes asked him to stop.
+
+One day, Tommy saw a picture of a reindeer in a book. He thought it was a very strange and interesting animal. It had big horns, a long nose, and furry legs. He wanted to see a real reindeer, not just a picture.
+
+He asked his mom, "Mom, can we go see a reindeer?"
+
+Mom smiled and said, "Reindeer live very far away, Tommy. They live in a place where it is very cold and snowy. We can't go there right now."
+
+Tommy felt frustrated. He wanted to see a reindeer so badly. He clapped his hands and said, "Please, mom, please. I want to see a reindeer."
+
+Mom shook her head and said, "I'm sorry, Tommy, but we can't. Maybe someday we can go to a zoo or a farm where they have reindeer. But not today."
+
+Tommy clapped his hands louder and louder. He started to cry and whine. He said, "No, no, no. I want to see a reindeer now."
+
+Mom sighed and said, "Tommy, stop clapping and crying. You are being very rude and noisy. You need to calm down and listen to me. You can't always get what you want. Sometimes you have to wait and be patient."
+
+Tommy didn't want to listen. He kept clapping and crying. He didn't care if he was rude and noisy. He only cared about seeing a reindeer.
+
+Mom was very tired and annoyed. She said, "Tommy, if you don't stop clapping and crying, you will go to your room and have a time out. Do you understand?"
+
+Tommy didn't understand. He didn't know what a time out was. He only knew that he wanted to see a reindeer. He clapped his hands harder and harder. He said, "Reindeer, reindeer, reindeer."
+
+Mom had enough. She said, "That's it, Tommy. You are going to your room. You need to learn to behave and respect me. Maybe when you are quiet and sorry, we can talk again."
+
+She picked up Tommy and carried him to his room. She closed the door and left him alone. Tommy was very angry and sad. He felt like no one loved him. He felt like he would never see a reindeer. He clapped his hands one last time and then fell asleep.
+Tommy loved to help his mom in the morning. He liked to hold her hand and walk to the kitchen. He liked to watch her make coffee and smell the nice smell. He liked to bring her a spoon and a cup and say, "Here you go, Mommy."
+
+One morning, Tommy wanted to surprise his mom. He woke up early and went to the kitchen by himself. He saw the coffee machine on the counter. He remembered how his mom pushed a button and then coffee came out. He wanted to do the same. He climbed on a chair and reached for the button.
+
+But he did not know that the coffee machine was very hot. He touched the metal part and burned his finger. He screamed and let go of the button. The coffee spilled all over the counter and the floor. Tommy was frightened and hurt. He cried and cried.
+
+His mom heard his cry and ran to the kitchen. She saw the mess and Tommy on the chair. She was scared and angry. She shouted, "Tommy, what did you do? You could have hurt yourself badly! You should never touch the coffee machine!"
+
+She took Tommy off the chair and hugged him. She checked his finger and put some ice on it. She said, "I'm sorry, Tommy. I didn't mean to yell at you. I was just worried. You should always ask me before you use anything in the kitchen. Do you understand?"
+
+Tommy nodded and said, "I'm sorry, Mommy. I wanted to help you. I wanted to make you coffee."
+
+His mom smiled and said, "That's very sweet of you, Tommy. But you don't have to make me coffee. You can help me in other ways. Like giving me a kiss and a hug. That's the best way to start the day."
+
+She kissed and hugged Tommy and said, "I love you, Tommy. You are my little helper."
+
+Tommy smiled and said, "I love you, Mommy. You are my best mommy."
+Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. One morning, they woke up early and saw fog outside their window. The fog was thick and white, like a big blanket. They wanted to see what was in the fog, so they put on their coats and boots and went outside.
+
+"Wow, look at the fog!" Anna said. "It's so soft and cold. I can't see anything."
+
+"Me neither," Ben said. "Let's walk around and find something fun."
+
+They walked and walked, but they could not see their house, their street, or their friends. They only saw fog. They started to feel troubled. They did not know where they were.
+
+"Anna, I'm scared," Ben said. "We're lost. How can we go back home?"
+
+"I don't know, Ben," Anna said. "Maybe we can follow our footsteps. Or maybe we can shout for help."
+
+They tried both, but it did not work. The fog was too thick and quiet. They could not see their footsteps or hear anyone. They hugged each other and cried.
+
+Then, they saw a light. It was a small and bright light, like a star. It was rising from the fog, slowly and gently. They felt curious and hopeful. They followed the light, hoping it would lead them somewhere safe.
+
+The light was a lantern. It was held by a kind old man, who lived in a small cabin in the woods. He saw the twins and smiled.
+
+"Hello, little ones," he said. "You must be lost. Don't worry, I'll help you. Come with me, I have some hot cocoa and cookies for you."
+
+He took them to his cabin, where it was warm and cozy. He gave them cocoa and cookies, and called their parents. He told them he found them in the fog, and that they were brave and smart. He also told them a story about the fog, and how it sometimes hid magical things.
+
+Anna and Ben felt happy and grateful. They thanked the old man and hugged him. They waited for their parents, who came soon and hugged them too. They said goodbye to the old man and his lantern, and went back home. They never forgot their adventure in the fog, and the kind old man who helped them.
+Ben and Lily liked to play pirates. They had a big box that was their ship. They had hats and swords and a map. The map showed them where to find treasure. They wanted to find gold and jewels and shiny things.
+
+One day, they sailed to a new island. They followed the map to a big tree. Under the tree, they saw a hole. They dug with their hands and found a chest. They opened the chest and saw treasure. They were very happy.
+
+But then, they heard a loud roar. A big dragon came out of the woods. It had thick scales and sharp teeth and fire in its mouth. It saw the treasure and wanted it for itself. It flew to the tree and snatched the chest. Ben and Lily were scared.
+
+They ran back to their ship. They wanted to get away from the dragon. But the dragon followed them. It flew over their ship and breathed fire. The fire burned their hats and swords and map. Ben and Lily were sad.
+
+They had an idea. They took some water and poured it on the fire. The fire went out. They took some mud and threw it at the dragon. The mud stuck to its scales and eyes. The dragon was angry and confused.
+
+Ben and Lily saw their chance. They grabbed the chest from the dragon's claws. They ran to their ship and sailed away. They had their treasure back. They were very happy.
+
+They learned a lesson. They learned that treasure can change. Sometimes it is gold and jewels and shiny things. Sometimes it is water and mud and friends. They decided to share their treasure with everyone. They were very kind.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to dig holes and make mud pies. They were very dirty, but they did not care. They were having fun.
+
+But then they heard a loud noise. It was a big truck. It stopped in front of their house. A man got out. He was wearing a green suit and a hat. He had a big bag on his back. He looked angry.
+
+"Who are you?" Tom asked.
+
+"I am a soldier. I am here for the war. I need to hide in your house. Where are your parents?" the man said.
+
+Tom and Lily were scared. They did not know what war was. They did not want the man to go inside their house. They wanted their parents.
+
+"Our parents are not here. They went to the shop. You cannot go inside. You are a stranger. Go away!" Lily said.
+
+The man did not listen. He pushed Tom and Lily aside. He opened the door and went inside. He locked the door behind him.
+
+Tom and Lily were very sad. They did not know what to do. They wanted their house back. They wanted their parents back. They wanted the man to leave.
+
+They had an idea. They ran to the shed. They found some paint and some brushes. They decided to surprise the man. They painted the truck with different colors. They painted flowers and stars and hearts. They painted "go away" and "we do not like you" on the sides. They made the truck very pretty and very funny.
+
+They hoped the man would see the truck and get angry. They hoped he would go away and never come back. They hoped their parents would come back soon and be proud of them. They hoped the war would end and they could play in peace.
+Ben and Sam were friends who liked to race each other. They ran fast and had fun. One day, they saw a new boy in the park. He had a big hat and a funny nose. Ben and Sam thought he looked silly.
+
+"Let's race him and make a joke of him," Ben said to Sam. "He is so slow and ignorant, he won't know what we are doing."
+
+Sam agreed and they ran to the new boy. "Hi, do you want to race with us?" Ben asked.
+
+The new boy smiled and nodded. He did not speak their language, but he liked to run. He did not know they were making fun of him.
+
+They started to race. Ben and Sam ran ahead and laughed. They thought they were very clever. But the new boy ran faster and faster. He caught up with them and passed them. He reached the finish line first and cheered.
+
+Ben and Sam were shocked and angry. They did not like to lose. They felt ashamed of themselves. They realized they had been mean and rude to the new boy.
+
+They ran to him and said sorry. They asked him his name and where he came from. They learned he was from another country and he had moved here with his family. He was friendly and kind. He taught them some words in his language and they taught him some words in theirs.
+
+They became friends and raced again. This time, they had fun and respected each other. They learned that you should not judge someone by how they look or speak. You should be nice and curious. You might find a new friend and learn something new.
+Tim and Sam were best friends. They liked to play with cars and balls and books. They had many toys, but they did not own the same ones. Tim had a big red car that made loud noises. Sam had a small blue car that was very fast.
+
+One day, they went to the park to play with their cars. They saw a man sitting on a bench. He had a big book and a funny hat. He was a judge. He liked to read and think.
+
+"Hello, boys," the judge said. "What are you playing with?"
+
+"We are playing with our cars," Tim said. "Mine is bigger and louder than Sam's."
+
+"Mine is faster and prettier than Tim's," Sam said.
+
+The judge smiled. He said, "Both of your cars are very nice. But do you know what makes a car normal?"
+
+The boys shook their heads. They did not know.
+
+"A normal car has four wheels, a steering wheel, a seat, and a door," the judge said. "It does not matter what color or size or sound it has. As long as it has these things, it is a normal car."
+
+The boys looked at their cars. They saw that they both had four wheels, a steering wheel, a seat, and a door. They realized that their cars were normal.
+
+"Thank you, judge," they said. "You are very smart."
+
+"You are very welcome, boys," the judge said. "And you are very kind."
+
+The boys smiled. They decided to share their cars and play together. They learned that normal is not the same as better or worse. They learned that different is not bad. They learned that friends are more important than toys.
+Tim and Kim were twins who liked to play in their room. They had many toys and books and games. But they did not like to share or take turns. They always fought and grabbed and yelled.
+
+One day, their mom brought them a large cake. She said, "This is for you, Tim and Kim. You can have some after dinner. But do not touch it or disturb it until then. It is very yummy and sweet."
+
+Tim and Kim nodded, but they did not listen. As soon as their mom left, they ran to the cake. They wanted to have some now. They did not care about the rules.
+
+They each took a finger and poked the cake. They made holes and crumbs and mess. They licked their fingers and smiled. They thought they were clever and sneaky.
+
+But then, they heard their mom coming back. They quickly hid under the bed. They hoped their mom would not see the cake.
+
+Their mom opened the door and gasped. She saw the cake and the damage. She was very angry and sad. She said, "Who did this? Who disturbed the cake? Who ruined the surprise?"
+
+Tim and Kim did not answer. They were scared and ashamed. They knew they did wrong. They knew they were in trouble.
+
+Their mom found them under the bed. She said, "Tim and Kim, you are very naughty and selfish. You did not listen to me. You did not respect the cake. You did not think of others.

+
+Tim and Kim cried and begged. They said, "We are sorry, mom. We are sorry, mom. Please, can we have some cake? Please, can we have some cake?"
+
+But their mom said, "No, you cannot. You had your chance and you wasted it. You have to face the consequences. Maybe next time, you will be more careful and kind. Maybe next time, you will not disturb things that are not yours. Maybe next time, you will be better twins."
+
+The moral of the story is: Do not disturb things that are not yours. Listen to your mom. Share and take turns. Or you will miss out on the good things.

+
+"Look, a box!" Tom says. "Maybe there is something inside."
+
+"Let's open it!" Lily says. "But how? We need a key."
+
+Tom and Lily look around. They see a big man with a bag. The bag has many keys.
+
+"Maybe he has the key for the box," Tom says. "Let's ask him."
+
+Tom and Lily run to the big man. They say hello and show him the box.
+
+"Hello, little ones," the big man says. "What do you have there?"
+
+"A box with a lock and a bell," Tom says. "Can you help us open it?"
+
+The big man smiles. He takes the box and looks at the lock. He picks a key from his bag and tries it. It does not work. He tries another key. It does not work. He tries many keys, but none of them work.
+
+"Sorry, little ones," the big man says. "I don't have the right key for this box. Maybe it belongs to someone else."
+
+Tom and Lily are sad. They thank the big man and take the box back. They sit under the tree and shake the box. They hear a sound.
+
+"Listen, the bell is ringing!" Lily says. "Maybe there is a fairy inside."

+"Maybe," Tom says. "But how can we see her?"
+
+They think hard. They have an idea.

+
+"But I'm very hungry," Anna said. "And the cake looks so good. Maybe we can have a little piece. Mommy won't notice."
+
+Ben thought for a moment. He wanted to eat the cake too. He said, "Okay, let's have a little piece. But we have to be careful and put the cake back in the refrigerator."

+They took a knife and cut a small piece of cake. They ate it quickly. It was very yummy. They smiled at each other.
+
+"That was good," Anna said. "Do you want more?"

+"Yes, please," Ben said. "I recommend we have another piece. Just one more."
+
+They cut another piece of cake and ate it. Then they cut another piece and another piece. Soon, they ate half of the cake. They felt full and happy.
+
+But then they heard the door open. It was Mommy and Daddy. They came home early.
+
+"Hi, kids," Mommy said. "We have a surprise for you. We brought you some ice cream. Do you want some?"
+
+Anna and Ben looked at each other. They felt sick. They felt guilty. They felt scared.
+
+They looked at the cake. It was almost gone. There was a big hole in the middle. There was frosting and sprinkles on the knife and on their faces.
+
+Mommy and Daddy saw the cake too. They gasped. They looked angry. They looked sad.

+
+Anna and Ben cried. They said, "We're sorry, we're sorry, we're sorry." But it was too late. They had to go to their rooms. They felt bad. They wished they had listened to Mommy.

+
+Anna and Ben did not know what to say. They felt sorry. They had done something bad.
+
+"We are sorry, sir," Anna said. "We did not know. We just wanted to try them. They looked so good."
+
+"Well, you should have asked me first," the farmer said. "Or better yet, you should have left them alone. They are not for you. They are for the market. Now I have less cherries to sell. You owe me money."
+
+Anna and Ben did not have money. They only had some toys and some candy. They offered them to the farmer. But he did not want them. He wanted money.
+
+"No, no, no," he said. "That is not enough. You have to pay me more. Or I will call your parents. Where do you live?"
+
+Anna and Ben did not want him to call their parents. They knew their parents would be angry too. They wished they had never seen the cherries. They wished they had played something else. They regretted taking the cherries.
+
+They told the farmer where they lived. He took them by the hand and walked them to their houses. He knocked on the doors and told their parents what they had done.

+

+Ben and Lily went to the store with Mom. They liked to look at the fish in the big tanks. They saw many fish of different colors and shapes. Some were big and some were small. Some had stripes and some had spots.
+
+"Look, Mom, a jellyfish!" Lily said, pointing to a clear fish with long tentacles. "It is so pretty!"
+
+"Yes, it is, but be careful, Lily. Jellyfish can sting you if you touch them. They are not like other fish. They have no bones or eyes or mouth. They just float and catch food with their tentacles," Mom explained.
+
+"Wow, how do they do that?" Ben asked, curious.
+
+"They have tiny cells on their tentacles that can give a shock to their prey. That is how they protect themselves and hunt. But some animals can eat them, like sea turtles and crabs," Mom said.
+
+"Can we have a jellyfish as a pet, Mom?" Lily asked, hopeful.
+
+"No, sweetie, we can't. Jellyfish need a lot of space and special water and care. They are not good for a home tank. Besides, we already have a pet, remember?" Mom said.
+
+"Oh, yes, we have Spot, our noisy dog. He barks a lot and likes to play. He is fun and fluffy and friendly. I love Spot," Lily said, smiling.
+
+"I love Spot, too. And I love you and Ben. Now, let's go and buy some milk and bread and go home," Mom said, holding their hands.
+
+They said goodbye to the fish and the jellyfish and walked to the cashier. Spot was waiting for them at home, wagging his tail and barking. He was happy to see them. They gave him a hug and a treat and told him about their trip to the store.
+Lily and Tom were friends. They liked to play with toys and share snacks. One day, they found a big cookie in the kitchen. They both wanted the cookie.
+
+"Let's split the cookie," Lily said. "You can have one half and I can have the other half."
+
+"OK," Tom said. He took a knife and cut the cookie. But he did not cut it in the middle. He cut it so that his half was bigger than Lily's half.
+
+"Hey, that's not fair!" Lily said. "You have more cookie than me!"
+
+"So what?" Tom said. "I like cookie more than you. You can have the small half or no cookie at all."
+
+Lily was angry and sad. She did not want the small half. She wanted a fair share. She grabbed the knife and tried to cut Tom's half. But she was not careful. She slipped and cut her finger. She cried out in pain.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Lily said. "It hurts, it hurts!"
+
+Tom saw the blood on Lily's finger. He was scared and sorry. He did not mean to hurt Lily. He wanted to help her. He dropped the cookie and ran to get a band-aid.
+
+But it was too late. Lily's mom heard Lily's cry and came to the kitchen. She saw the knife, the cookie, and the blood. She was angry and worried. She picked up Lily and took her to the bathroom. She cleaned and wrapped her finger. She gave her a hug and a kiss.
+
+"Lily, what happened?" Lily's mom asked. "Who did this to you?"
+
+Lily pointed at Tom. She told her mom what Tom did. She said he was mean and greedy.
+
+Lily's mom was very upset. She called Tom's mom and told her what happened. She said Tom was not allowed to play with Lily anymore. She said he was a bad friend.
+
+Tom's mom came to get Tom. She was ashamed and sorry. She scolded Tom and made him apologize to Lily. She said he was naughty and selfish.
+
+Tom said he was sorry. He did not want to lose Lily. He wanted to be friends again. He wanted to share the cookie.
+
+But Lily did not forgive him. She did not want to see him. She did not want to be friends anymore. She turned away and closed her eyes.
+
+Tom left with his mom. He felt sad and lonely. He wished he had split the cookie in the middle. He wished he had been a good friend.
+
+The end.
+Anna was very happy. She got an invitation to Ben's birthday party. She liked Ben. He was her friend from play school. She wanted to give him a nice present.
+
+She asked her mom to help her wrap the present. It was a big book with many pictures of animals. Anna loved animals. She hoped Ben would love them too.
+
+They put the present in a bag and went to the car. Anna was excited. She sang a song on the way to Ben's house.
+
+When they arrived, they saw many other kids. They were playing games and eating cake. Anna saw Ben. He was wearing a hat with candles. He smiled and waved at her.
+
+"Hi, Anna! Thank you for coming to my party!" he said.
+
+"Hi, Ben! Happy birthday! I have a present for you!" she said.
+
+She gave him the bag. He opened it and saw the book. His eyes grew big.
+
+"Wow! This is awesome! Thank you, Anna! Do you want to see the animals with me?" he asked.
+

+
+They sat on the couch and looked at the book. They saw lions and tigers and bears and monkeys and many more. They made noises like the animals. They had fun.
+
+But then, Anna felt a tickle in her nose. She tried to hold it in, but she couldn't. She sneezed. Achoo!
+
+She sneezed so hard that she dropped the book. It fell on the floor. Some of the pages tore. Anna felt bad. She looked at Ben. He looked sad.
+
+"I'm sorry, Ben. I didn't mean to sneeze. I didn't mean to break your book. Are you mad at me?" she asked.
+
+Ben shook his head. He picked up the book and hugged it.
+
+"It's okay, Anna. I'm not mad at you. You can't help it if you sneeze. It happens to everyone. The book is still good. I still like it. And I still like you. You are my friend." he said.
+
+Anna smiled. She hugged him back.
+
+"Thank you, Ben. You are very patient. You are my friend too. I'm glad you like the book. And I'm glad you like me." she said.
+
+They hugged and smiled. They looked at the book again. They saw a picture of an elephant. They both sneezed. Achoo! Achoo!
+
+They laughed. They didn't mind. They were happy. They were friends.
+Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play at the shore. They liked to make sand castles, look for shells, and splash in the water. One day, they saw a big boat with many people on it. They waved and shouted hello.
+
+"Hello, little ones!" a man on the boat said. "Do you want to come with us? We have candy and toys and fun!"
+
+Lily and Ben thought that sounded nice. They liked candy and toys and fun. They did not see their mom and dad, who were sitting under a big umbrella. They ran to the boat and climbed on.
+
+"Ha ha ha!" the man on the boat laughed. "We got them! They are so silly and naive! We will take them far away and sell them for money!"
+
+Lily and Ben did not understand what the man said. They looked around and saw that the boat was dirty and smelly. There were no candy and toys and fun. There were only ropes and cages and mean people. They felt scared and sad. They wanted to go back to the shore, to their mom and dad, to their sand castles and shells and water.
+
+But it was too late. The boat sailed away, and they never saw the shore again.
+Anna liked to draw. She had many colors and papers. She drew flowers and trees and birds. She was happy when she drew.
+
+One day, Anna went to school. She wanted to draw in the classroom. But the teacher said no. She said Anna had to do other things. She had to listen and write and count. Anna was sad. She did not like those things.
+
+At lunchtime, Anna saw a beautiful butterfly. It was yellow and black and had big wings. Anna wanted to draw it. She took her colors and papers and ran after the butterfly. She followed it to the garden. There, she saw many flowers and trees and birds. She smiled. She found a place to sit and draw.
+
+She drew the butterfly and the flowers and the trees and the birds. She used many colors and papers. She was happy when she drew.
+
+But she did not see the time. She did not hear the bell. She did not go back to the classroom. She stayed in the garden and drew.
+
+The teacher looked for Anna. She asked the other children. They did not know where Anna was. The teacher was worried. She went to the garden. There, she saw Anna and her drawings.
+
+She was angry. She said Anna was bad. She said Anna did not follow the rules. She said Anna had to go back to the classroom. She took her colors and papers and threw them away. Anna was sad. She cried.

They love you and want you to be happy. You should be thankful and respectful. You should not be selfish and rude. You should go back to your room and apologize.

+But today, the parade is boring. The trucks are slow, the drums are quiet, and the clowns are sad. Anna and Ben are tired and hungry. They want to go home.
+
+They see their mom and dad on the sidewalk. They run to them and hug them. Mom and dad have a surprise for them. They have a big ruler and a small ruler. They want to measure Anna and Ben.
+
+Anna and Ben are curious. They stand next to the big ruler. Mom and dad measure them. They tell them how tall they are. Anna is taller than Ben. She is happy. Ben is not happy. He wants to be taller.
+
+They try the small ruler. They measure their feet, their hands, and their noses. They laugh and giggle. They find out who has the biggest and the smallest. They have fun again.
+
+They forget about the boring parade. They are happy with their mom and dad. They love to measure.
+Sara and Ben love to play with their dog, Max. Max is a big, brown dog who likes to run and jump and bark. Sometimes, Max is too wild and does not listen to Sara and Ben. He runs away from them and chases other animals.
+
+One day, Sara and Ben take Max to the park. They put a leash on Max, so he does not run away. But Max does not like the leash. He pulls and tugs and tries to break free. Sara and Ben hold on tight, but Max is very strong.
+
+"Stop, Max! You are being bad!" Sara says.
+
+"Max, you have to listen to us! We are your friends!" Ben says.
+
+But Max does not care. He sees a squirrel and wants to catch it. He pulls harder and harder, until he makes Sara and Ben fall down. Then he runs after the squirrel, dragging the leash behind him.
+
+Sara and Ben are sad and scared. They do not know where Max is. They do not know if he is safe. They do not know if he will come back.
+
+They look for Max in the park. They call his name and clap their hands. They hope he will hear them and come back. They ask other people if they have seen Max. They show them a picture of Max. But no one has seen him.
+
+They are about to give up, when they hear a loud bark. They turn around and see Max. He is running towards them, with a big smile on his face. He has the leash in his mouth. He has found the squirrel and played with it. He is happy and proud.
+
+Sara and Ben are happy and relieved. They hug Max and pet him. They tell him they are glad he is back. They tell him they love him.
+
+But they also tell him he was wrong. He should not have run away. He should have stayed with them. He should have obeyed the leash. He could have gotten lost or hurt. He could have made them lose him.
+
+Max looks sorry. He knows he was bad. He licks Sara and Ben and wags his tail. He promises to be good. He promises to listen to them. He promises to respect the leash.
+
+Sara and Ben forgive Max. They put the leash back on him. They walk him home. They clap for him and praise him. They tell him he is a good dog.
+
+Moral: Running away is not fun. It is dangerous and selfish. Listening to your friends and obeying the rules is better. It keeps you safe and happy. It shows you care.
+Sam liked to play with his vest. It was red and had many buttons. He put it on and pretended to be a hero. He ran around the house and said, "I am Sam the brave!"
+
+One day, he found an ancient box in the attic. It was big and dusty. He opened it and saw many old things. He saw a book, a hat, a doll and a necklace. He wanted to see them better. He took them out of the box and put them on the floor.
+
+He saw the necklace was shiny and had many beads. He wanted to wear it with his vest. He put it around his neck and said, "I am Sam the king!" He felt very happy.
+
+But then, he heard a snap. The necklace was too old and weak. It broke and the beads fell off. They rolled everywhere. Sam was sad and scared. He did not want to break the necklace. He did not know what to do.
+
+He heard his mom coming up the stairs. He quickly put the things back in the box and closed it. He hid the broken necklace under his vest. He hoped his mom would not see it. He said, "Hi, mom. I was just playing with my vest." He smiled and tried to act normal.
+Tom was a bald boy who liked to cook. He wanted to make a cake for his mom's birthday. He asked his dad to help him.
+
+"Can we use the stove, dad?" Tom said.
+
+"Yes, but be careful. The stove is very hot. You have to try hard not to touch it," dad said.
+
+Dad showed Tom how to mix the flour, the eggs, the sugar and the milk in a big bowl. He poured the batter into a round pan. He put the pan in the stove and set the timer.
+
+"Now we have to wait for the cake to bake. Do you want to make some frosting?" dad said.
+
+"Yes, please. I like frosting. What color is it?" Tom said.
+
+"We can make it any color you want. How about pink? Mom likes pink," dad said.
+
+They took another bowl and mixed some butter, some sugar and some milk. They added some red food coloring and stirred it well. The frosting turned pink.
+
+"Wow, it's so pretty. Can I taste it?" Tom said.
+
+"Sure, but only a little bit. We need to save some for the cake," dad said.
+
+Tom licked his finger and dipped it in the frosting. He smiled. It was sweet and creamy.
+
+The timer beeped. The cake was ready. Dad took it out of the stove and put it on a rack to cool.
+
+"Good job, Tom. You tried very hard to make a nice cake for mom. She will love it," dad said.
+
+"Thank you, dad. You are the best. Can we put some candles on it?" Tom said.
+
+"Of course. How many candles do you think mom needs?" dad said.
+
+Tom thought for a moment. He held up three fingers.
+
+"Three. Mom is three years old, like me," Tom said.
+
+Dad laughed and hugged Tom.
+
+"Close enough, buddy. Close enough," dad said.
+Lily and Tom are twins. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big rock near the slide. They run to the rock and touch it.
+
+"Wow, this rock is hard and cold!" Lily says.
+
+"Can we climb on it?" Tom asks.
+
+They try to climb on the rock, but it is too high and slippery. They fall down and hurt their knees.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" they cry.
+
+Mom hears them and comes to help. She hugs them and kisses their knees.
+
+"Are you okay, my loves?" she asks.
+
+"Yes, Mom, but the rock is mean!" Lily says.
+
+"Sorry, the rock is not mean, it is just a rock. It does not know how to be nice or mean. But you know what is nice and sweet?" Mom says.
+
+"What, Mom?" Tom asks.
+
+"Sugar!" Mom says. "Let's go home and have some sugar cookies. They are soft and yummy!"
+
+"Yay, sugar cookies!" Lily and Tom say.
+
+They hold Mom's hand and walk home. They forget about the rock and smile. They love sugar cookies and Mom.
+Mia and Leo were playing in the park. They liked to run, jump and slide on the grass and the swings. They saw a big tree with many green leaves. The tree had a hole in its trunk.
+
+"Look, Leo, a hole!" Mia said. "Maybe there is something inside."
+
+They ran to the tree and peeked into the hole. They saw a small bird with brown feathers and a yellow beak. The bird was sitting on a nest made of wood and grass. The bird looked at them with bright eyes.
+
+"Hello, bird," Leo said. "What are you doing in the hole?"
+
+The bird chirped softly. "I am relaxing," it said. "This is my home. I have four eggs in my nest. They will hatch soon and I will have four babies."
+
+"Wow, that is amazing," Mia said. "Can we see your eggs?"
+
+The bird nodded. "Yes, you can. But be careful. Do not touch them. They are very fragile."
+
+Mia and Leo leaned closer and saw four blue eggs with brown spots. They were very pretty.
+
+"You have beautiful eggs, bird," Mia said. "You are a good mother."
+
+"Thank you, children," the bird said. "You are very kind. Do you want to stay and watch me feed my babies when they hatch?"
+
+Mia and Leo smiled. "Yes, we do," they said. "We want to be your friends."
+
+They sat down under the tree and waited. They watched the bird fly away and come back with worms and seeds. They watched the bird sing and flap its wings. They watched the bird be graceful and happy.
+
+They felt relaxed and happy too. They liked the bird and the tree. They liked the park and the sun. They liked each other and the world.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They like to slide, swing and run. Today is a sunny day. It is summer. Summer is a hot season.
+
+Lily and Ben go to the park with their moms. They bring a picnic basket. They have sandwiches, fruits and cookies. They also have juice and water. They are hungry and thirsty.
+
+They find a nice spot under a big tree. They sit on a blanket. They open the picnic basket. They see a jar of red sauce. Lily's mom says, "This is salsa. It is spicy. Do you want to try some?"
+
+Lily says, "Yes, please. I like spicy." She takes a sandwich and dips it in the salsa. She takes a big bite. She feels a fire in her mouth. She says, "Ow, ow, ow! This is too spicy! I need water!"
+
+Ben says, "I don't like spicy. I want juice." He takes a sandwich and dips it in the juice. He takes a big bite. He feels a wet mess in his mouth. He says, "Yuck, yuck, yuck! This is too juicy! I need a napkin!"
+
+Lily's mom and Ben's mom laugh. They say, "Sorry, kids. We mixed up the jars. Here, have some water and a cookie. They are not spicy or juicy. They are sweet and yummy."
+
+Lily and Ben drink some water and eat some cookies. They feel better. They say, "Thank you, moms. We love you. Can we play in the park now?"
+
+The moms say, "Yes, you can. But be careful. Don't run too fast or slide too hard. And have fun!"
+
+Lily and Ben smile. They run to the playground. They slide, swing and run. They have fun. They are happy. They are friends.
+Sara liked to draw with pastels. She had many colors: pink, blue, yellow, green, and more. She drew flowers, stars, and animals on big papers. She was happy when she drew.
+
+One day, she went to the park with her mom and dad. They brought a picnic basket with healthy food: sandwiches, apples, carrots, and juice. Sara also brought her pastels and papers. She wanted to draw the trees and birds in the park.
+
+She found a nice spot under a big tree. She spread her papers on the grass and opened her pastel box. She picked a green pastel and started to draw the tree. She was careful not to break the pastel.
+
+But then, a big boy came and saw her pastels. He wanted to play with them. He grabbed the box and ran away. Sara was sad and angry. She shouted, "Hey, give me back my pastels! They are mine!"
+
+The big boy did not listen. He laughed and threw the pastels in the air. They fell on the ground and broke into pieces. Sara cried and ran to her mom and dad. They hugged her and comforted her.
+
+The big boy was not happy for long. He stepped on a broken pastel and slipped. He fell on the grass and hurt his knee. He cried and ran to his mom and dad. They scolded him and told him to say sorry to Sara.
+
+Sara was still sad, but she was also kind. She forgave the big boy and shared her papers with him. They drew together with the pastels that were not broken. They became friends and played nicely. Sara was happy again.
+Lily liked to ride her bike. It was red and shiny and had a bell. She got it for her birthday from her dad. He said it was a good value. He said it would last a long time and make her happy.
+
+One day, Lily saw a boy with a big bike. It was black and had stickers and a horn. The boy said his bike was better than hers. He said her bike was ugly and small. He said she should give it to him.
+
+Lily felt sad and angry. She said no, her bike was not ugly. She said her bike was special and she loved it. She said he was mean and rude. She said he should go away.
+
+The boy did not listen. He tried to grab her bike. He pulled and pushed and shouted. Lily held on tight. She kicked and screamed and rang her bell.
+
+Then, a man came. He was a policeman. He heard the noise and saw the fight. He said stop, what is going on? He said he would help.
+
+Lily told him what happened. She said the boy wanted her bike. She said he called it ugly and tried to take it. She said she did not want to give it.
+
+The policeman looked at the boy. He said he was wrong and sorry. He said he should not bully or steal. He said he should be nice and share.
+
+The boy felt ashamed and scared. He said he was sorry too. He said he liked his bike but he wanted a new one. He said he did not have a dad to buy him one.
+
+The policeman felt sorry for the boy. He said he understood. He said he had a bike at home that he did not use. He said he would give it to him if he promised to be good.
+
+The boy was surprised and happy. He said he promised. He said he would be good and thank the policeman. He said he would be friends with Lily and ride with her.
+
+Lily was glad and relieved. She said she forgave the boy. She said she would be friends with him and ride with her. She said she still loved her bike and it was not ugly.
+
+The policeman smiled and nodded. He said he was proud of them. He said they learned a lesson and made peace. He said they should ride safely and have fun. He said he would see them later and waved goodbye.
+Lily and Tom were playing with their toy cars in the living room. They liked to zoom them on the floor and make loud noises. Lily had a red car and Tom had a blue car. They were having fun.
+
+But then, Lily saw a shiny bowl on the table. It was full of candy. Lily loved candy. She wanted to eat some. She left her car and ran to the table. She grabbed the bowl and hugged it.
+
+"Hey, that's not fair!" Tom said. He followed Lily and tried to take the bowl from her. "Share the candy with me!"
+
+"No, it's mine!" Lily said. She was selfish. She did not want to share. She pushed Tom away and ran to the couch. She put the bowl on her lap and opened it.
+
+But as she opened it, she saw something that made her scream. Inside the bowl, there was a big spider. It was hairy and scary. It crawled out of the bowl and onto Lily's face.
+
+Lily dropped the bowl and the candy. She ran to Tom and hugged him. She was sorry and scared. Tom was kind and brave. He picked up a book and smashed the spider. He threw it in the trash.
+
+"Are you okay, Lily?" Tom asked. He gave her a tissue to wipe her tears.
+
+"Yes, thank you, Tom," Lily said. She felt bad for being selfish. She learned her lesson. "I'm sorry for taking the candy. Do you want some?"
+
+Tom smiled and nodded. He took some candy and gave some to Lily. They shared the candy and went back to their cars. They zoomed them on the floor and made loud noises. They were happy.
+Sara and Ben are playing with a ball in the yard. They see a string hanging from a tree. Sara wants to pull the string and see what happens. Ben is scared and says no.
+
+"Come on, Ben, it will be fun!" Sara says. "Maybe there is a surprise at the end of the string!"
+
+"No, Sara, it could be dangerous!" Ben says. "Maybe there is a trap or a monster or a bee!"
+
+Sara does not listen to Ben. She runs to the tree and pulls the string. The string is very long and hard to pull. Sara keeps pulling and pulling. Ben watches her with troubled eyes.
+
+Suddenly, a loud noise makes Sara and Ben jump. A bucket of water falls from the tree and splashes Sara. She is wet and cold and angry. She drops the string and cries.
+
+"Who did this?" Sara shouts. "This is not funny!"
+
+Ben runs to Sara and hugs her. He tries to make her feel better.
+
+"I'm sorry, Sara, I told you not to pull the string," Ben says. "Someone must have played a trick on you."
+
+Sara stops crying and looks at Ben. She sees that he is a good friend. She smiles and says sorry to him.
+
+"It's okay, Sara, I forgive you," Ben says. "Let's go inside and get dry."
+
+Sara and Ben go inside and tell their mom what happened. Their mom gives them towels and cookies and says they learned a lesson. Sara and Ben agree and promise to be more careful next time. They hug each other and laugh.
+Lila and Sam were playing knights and dragons in the garden. Lila had a blue shield made of cardboard and Sam had a green dragon mask. They ran around the trees and bushes, pretending to fight and roar.
+
+"Roar! I am the dragon and I will eat you, knight!" Sam said, jumping out from behind a flower.
+
+"No, you won't! I have a shield and a sword and I am brave!" Lila said, holding up her shield and a stick.
+
+They clashed and dodged, laughing and having fun. But then, Sam's mask fell off and he tripped over a rock. He scraped his knee and it started to bleed. He cried out in pain and dropped his mask.
+
+Lila saw that Sam was hurt and ran to him. She put down her shield and sword and hugged him.
+
+"Are you okay, Sam? I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you fall," she said, feeling sorry for him.
+
+"It's okay, Lila. It was just an accident. But my knee hurts and it's bleeding," Sam said, sniffling.
+
+Lila looked around and saw a cloth on the grass. It was her mom's apron that she had used to make a cape. She took it and wiped Sam's knee gently.
+
+"Here, this will help. It will make the blood go away and make your knee feel better," she said, smiling.
+
+"Thank you, Lila. You are a good friend and a good knight," Sam said, smiling back.
+
+They hugged again and then picked up their shield and mask. They decided to play something else, something that was not so rough. They went to the sandbox and made a castle and a dragon out of sand. They played happily until their mom called them for lunch.
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys in the living room. But Mom says they have to clean up before dinner. Lily and Ben do not want to clean. They want to keep playing.
+
+"Please, Lily and Ben, clean up your toys. Dinner is almost ready," Mom says.
+
+"No, Mom, we are not done. We are having fun," Lily says.
+
+"Me too. We are making a castle with the blocks," Ben says.
+
+Mom sighs. She sees a big mess on the floor. She sees books, dolls, cars, balls, and a dictionary. She does not know why they have a dictionary. It is a big book with many words. Lily and Ben do not know many words yet.
+
+Mom picks up the dictionary. She opens it. She sees a picture of a snowman. She shows it to Lily and Ben.
+
+"Look, this is a snowman. He is made of snow. Snow is white and cold and icy. Do you like snow?" Mom asks.
+
+Lily and Ben look at the picture. They have never seen snow. They live in a warm place. They are curious.
+
+"Wow, a snowman. He has a hat and a scarf and a carrot nose. He is funny. I like snow," Lily says.
+
+"Me too. I want to make a snowman. Can we make a snowman, Mom?" Ben asks.
+
+Mom smiles. She has an idea.
+
+"Maybe we can make a snowman. But first, we have to clean up your toys. If you clean up quickly, I will show you how to make a snowman with paper and cotton and glue. How does that sound?" Mom says.
+
+Lily and Ben think. They want to make a snowman. They also want to eat dinner. They decide to clean up.
+
+"Okay, Mom, we will clean up. Then we will make a snowman. Yay!" Lily and Ben say.
+
+They start to put their toys in the toy box. Mom helps them. She is happy. She thinks they are good children. She hopes they will like the snowman. She also hopes they will like the dictionary. It has many words to learn.
+Ben and Mia were playing in the garden. They liked to look for bugs and flowers. They saw a caterpillar on a leaf. It was green and fuzzy.
+
+"Look, a caterpillar!" Ben said. "It is so soft and cute. Can we keep it?"
+
+Mia shook her head. "No, we can't. Caterpillars need to eat leaves and grow. They change into something else."
+
+"Into what?" Ben asked.
+
+"Into butterflies!" Mia said. "Butterflies are pretty and colorful. They can fly and shine in the sun."
+
+Ben looked at the caterpillar. It was dull and slow. He did not think it could be a butterfly.
+
+"I don't believe you," he said. "How can a caterpillar be a butterfly?"
+
+Mia smiled. "It is true. Caterpillars make a cocoon around themselves. They sleep inside for a long time. Then they break out and become butterflies. It is like magic."
+
+Ben was curious. He wanted to see the magic. He decided to let the caterpillar stay on the leaf.
+
+"Okay, let's watch it," he said. "Maybe it will be a butterfly soon."
+
+They went to get some water and snacks. They came back to the garden. They looked for the caterpillar. But they could not find it.
+
+"Where is it?" Ben asked.
+
+Mia pointed to a branch. There was a cocoon hanging from it. It was brown and hard.
+
+"There it is!" Mia said. "It made a cocoon. It is sleeping now."
+
+Ben was amazed. He touched the cocoon gently. It was not soft and cute like the caterpillar.
+
+"It is not a caterpillar anymore," he said.
+
+"No, it is not," Mia said. "But it will be a butterfly soon. And then it will shine."
+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play with toys and draw pictures. One day, they find a big pen on the table. It is not like the pens they use. It is very long and has a funny shape.
+
+"Look, Mia, a big pen!" Tom says. He picks up the pen and tries to write with it. But nothing comes out. He shakes the pen and presses the tip. Still nothing.
+
+"Maybe it is broken," Mia says. She takes the pen from Tom and looks at it. She sees a small button on the side. She pushes the button. Ink squirts out of the pen and lands on Tom's face.
+
+"Ah!" Tom shouts. He is surprised and angry. He wipes his face with his hand. He sees the ink on his hand and on Mia's dress. He starts to laugh. "You look funny, Mia!"
+
+Mia laughs too. She sees the ink on Tom's face and on the table. She thinks it is funny. She pushes the button again. Ink squirts out of the pen and lands on the wall.
+
+"Wow!" Mia says. "This is a fun pen! We can make art with it!"
+
+Tom and Mia take turns to squeeze the pen and squirt ink on the paper, the wall, and each other. They make colorful shapes and patterns. They have fun with the big pen. They do not hear Mom coming in.
+
+"Tom! Mia! What are you doing?" Mom says. She sees the ink everywhere. She is shocked and angry. She takes the pen from Mia and puts it away. She gives Tom and Mia a cloth and tells them to clean up.
+
+"Sorry, Mom," Tom and Mia say. They are sad and sorry. They did not know the pen was not for playing. They did not mean to make a mess.
+
+Mom is not happy, but she is not too mad. She knows Tom and Mia are good kids. She helps them to clean up the ink. She tells them to be careful with things they do not know. She hugs them and tells them she loves them.
+
+Tom and Mia hug Mom and tell her they love her too. They are glad Mom is not too mad. They still think the big pen is fun, but they will not play with it again. They will use their own pens to draw pictures. They will be good kids.
+Ben and Mia were playing in the garden. They saw a caterpillar on a leaf. Ben wanted to touch it, but Mia said no.
+
+"Don't touch it, Ben. It might bite you," Mia said.
+
+"It won't bite me, Mia. It is soft and fuzzy," Ben said.
+
+They disagreed about the caterpillar. Ben reached out his hand, but Mia pulled him back.
+
+"Leave it alone, Ben. It is happy on the leaf," Mia said.
+
+"It is not happy, Mia. It is lonely. It needs a friend," Ben said.
+
+They disagreed some more. They raised their voices. They did not hear their mom calling them.
+
+"Ben, Mia, come inside. It is time for lunch," mom said.
+
+But Ben and Mia were deaf to mom. They only heard each other.
+
+"Let me touch it, Mia. It is cute and green," Ben said.
+
+"No, Ben. It is ugly and slimy," Mia said.
+
+They disagreed until the caterpillar crawled away. Then they stopped and looked at each other.
+
+"Where did it go, Ben?" Mia asked.
+
+"I don't know, Mia. Maybe it went to find a friend," Ben said.
+
+They felt sad. They wished they had not disagreed. They hugged and said sorry.
+
+"Let's go inside, Ben. Maybe mom has something yummy for lunch," Mia said.
+
+"Okay, Mia. Maybe she has cookies," Ben said.
+
+They ran inside, holding hands. They were not deaf to mom anymore. They said hello and smiled.
+
+Mom was happy to see them. She gave them sandwiches and cookies. She did not know about the caterpillar. She only knew that they were good and hungry.
+Tim likes to play football with his dad. They go to the park and kick the ball to each other. Tim is very good at football. He can run fast and catch the ball. He has a lot of fun.
+
+One day, Tim sees a big boy with a shiny new football. The big boy is mean. He does not share his football with anyone. He says it is his and he values it very much. He does not let Tim play with him. He pushes Tim away and makes him cry.
+
+Tim's dad sees what happens. He is not happy. He goes to the big boy and talks to him. He tells him that football is a game for everyone. He says that it is not nice to be mean and selfish. He says that he should value his friends more than his football. He asks him to apologize to Tim and let him play.
+
+The big boy feels sorry. He realizes that he was wrong. He says he is sorry to Tim and gives him his football. He says that he can play with him and his friends. He says that he does not need a shiny new football to have fun.
+
+Tim is happy. He forgives the big boy and plays with him. He thanks his dad for helping him. He says that he values his dad and his football. He says that he likes to play football with his dad and his new friends. He feels calm and joyful.
+Sara liked to relax in the garden with her mom. They would sit on a big blanket and look at the flowers and the birds. Mom would read Sara a book or sing her a song. Sara felt happy and safe.
+
+One day, mom brought a basket of peaches from the market. She said they were sweet and juicy and good for them. Sara loved peaches. She picked one and bit into it. It was soft and yummy. She smiled and asked for another one.
+
+Mom gave her another peach, but this one was different. It had a bad spot on it. It was brown and mushy and smelled funny. Sara did not see it. She bit into it and made a face. It was sour and bitter and nasty. She spit it out and cried.
+
+Mom saw what happened and hugged Sara. She said she was sorry and threw away the bad peach. She gave Sara some water and a kiss. She said it was an accident and not her fault. She said she would check the peaches next time and only give her the good ones.
+
+Sara calmed down and snuggled with mom. She said she still liked peaches, but not the bad ones. Mom said she understood and smiled. They went back to relax in the garden and enjoy the good peaches. Sara felt happy and safe again.
+Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play with crayons and paper. They make prints of their hands and feet. They write their names and draw pictures.
+
+One day, Tom sees a new crayon in the box. It is shiny and sparkly. It is unusual. Tom wants to use it. He takes it and starts to color his print.
+
+Lily sees Tom with the new crayon. She wants to use it too. She says, "Tom, can I have a turn with the new crayon? It is so pretty. Please share with me."
+
+Tom says, "No, Lily. It is mine. I found it first. You have many other crayons. Go away."
+
+Lily feels sad and angry. She says, "Tom, you are not nice. You are not a good friend. You should share with me. It is fair."
+
+Tom says, "No, Lily. Go away. Leave me alone."
+
+Lily starts to weep. She runs to the teacher. She tells the teacher what Tom did. The teacher comes to Tom and Lily. She says, "Tom, why did you make Lily weep? Why did you not share the new crayon with her? Sharing is caring. You should be kind to your friend."
+
+Tom feels ashamed. He says, "I am sorry, teacher. I am sorry, Lily. I was selfish. I wanted the new crayon all for myself. It was wrong. Here, Lily. You can have the new crayon. I will use another one."
+
+Lily stops weeping. She says, "Thank you, Tom. I forgive you. You are a good friend. Can we play together again?"
+
+Tom says, "Yes, Lily. We can play together again. We can make more prints with the crayons. We can have fun."
+
+The teacher smiles. She says, "That is good, Tom and Lily. You are good friends. You learned to share and to say sorry. I am proud of you."
+Sam and Lily were twins who liked to play and learn new things. One day, they found a note on the table. It was from their grandma, who was elderly and lived far away. The note said: "Dear Sam and Lily, I miss you very much and I hope you are happy and healthy. I have a surprise for you. Look under your beds and you will find a gift. I love you, Grandma."
+
+Sam and Lily ran to their room and looked under their beds. They saw two big boxes wrapped in colorful paper and ribbons. They opened them and found two beautiful books. One was about animals and the other was about stars. They hugged the books and thanked their grandma in their hearts.
+
+That night, Sam and Lily read their books before going to sleep. They learned many new things about lions and tigers, and about the sun and the moon. They wished they could see their grandma and show her their books. They closed their eyes and fell asleep.
+
+In their dreams, they saw their grandma smiling and waving at them. She was sitting on a cloud, surrounded by animals and stars. She said: "Hello, Sam and Lily. I'm so proud of you and your books. You are very smart and curious. I'm always with you in your dreams. I love you, Grandma." Sam and Lily hugged their grandma and felt happy and warm. They told her they loved her too and they wanted to see her soon. They played with the animals and the stars until they woke up.
+
+The next morning, Sam and Lily told their mom and dad about their dreams. They said they saw their grandma and she was happy and beautiful. They showed them their books and said they wanted to learn more. Their mom and dad smiled and hugged them. They said: "We're glad you had such wonderful dreams. Your grandma loves you very much and so do we. You can call her later and tell her about your dreams and your books. She will be very happy to hear from you." Sam and Lily nodded and smiled. They felt lucky and grateful. They loved their grandma, their books, and their dreams.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They skip and run and laugh. They see a big dog. The dog has thick fur and a long tail. The dog barks at them.
+
+"Hello, dog!" Anna says. "Do you want to play with us?"
+
+Ben is scared. He does not like dogs. He hides behind a tree.
+
+"Anna, come here!" he says. "The dog is not nice. He might bite us."
+
+Anna does not listen. She likes dogs. She thinks the dog is friendly. She goes closer to the dog. She tries to pet him.
+
+The dog does not like Anna. He does not want to play. He growls and snaps at her. He bites her hand. Anna screams.
+
+Ben runs to help her. He throws a stick at the dog. The dog lets go of Anna. He chases Ben. He bites his leg. Ben falls down. He cries.
+
+The dog runs away. Anna and Ben are hurt. They bleed. They are sad and scared. They want their moms.

+Lily liked to create things with her toys. She had many blocks, dolls, cars and animals. She made houses, roads, farms and shops. She was very proud of her creations.
+
+But Lily was also very bossy. She did not like to share her toys or let anyone else play with them. She wanted to be the leader of all the games. She told her brother Sam what to do and how to do it. Sam did not like that. He wanted to have fun and use his own ideas.
+
+One day, Lily made a big zip with her blocks. She said it was a rocket that could fly to the moon. She put some of her dolls and animals inside the zip. She said they were the astronauts and the aliens. She told Sam to watch and not touch.
+
+Sam was curious. He wanted to see the zip and the dolls and the animals. He waited until Lily went to the kitchen to get a snack. Then he sneaked over to the zip and opened it. He took out some of the dolls and animals and played with them. He made them talk and dance and laugh.
+
+Lily came back and saw what Sam had done. She was very angry. She yelled at Sam and grabbed the dolls and animals from him. She said he had ruined her zip and her game. She said he was a bad brother and a bad player. She pushed him away and closed the zip.
+
+Sam was sad and hurt. He did not want to fight with Lily. He wanted to play with her and have fun. He wished she was not so bossy and mean. He wished she would let him create things with her. He wished they could be friends.
+Sam liked to play with his toy cars. He had many cars, but his favorite was a small red car. He liked to make it go fast and make loud noises. He also liked to put oil on it, because he saw his dad do that to his big car. He said oil made the car happy and shiny.
+
+One day, Sam wanted to play with his car outside. He asked his mom if he could go. She looked at the sky and said, "No, Sam, it might rain soon. Rain is not good for your car. It will make it wet and dirty. Why don't you play inside with your other toys?"
+
+But Sam did not want to play with his other toys. He wanted to play with his small red car. He waited until his mom was busy in the kitchen. Then he sneaked out of the door with his car. He ran to the sidewalk and started to make his car go fast and make loud noises. He was having fun.
+
+But then he heard a loud boom. He looked up and saw dark clouds. He felt a drop of water on his nose. It was raining. Sam was scared. He wanted to go back inside. But he did not want to leave his car. He grabbed his car and ran to the door. But the door was locked. He knocked and knocked, but his mom did not hear him. He was wet and cold and sad.
+
+He saw his car in his hand. It was not shiny anymore. It was wet and dirty. The oil was gone. He felt sorry for his car. He hugged it and said, "I'm sorry, car. I should have listened to mom. She was right. Rain is not good for you. I hope you are not mad at me."
+
+He heard his mom's voice. She opened the door and saw him. She was not happy. She said, "Sam, what did you do? Why did you go outside? Don't you know it's raining? Look at you and your car. You are both wet and dirty. You need to dry off and clean up. And you need to say sorry to me and to your car."
+
+Sam nodded. He said, "I'm sorry, mom. I'm sorry, car. I was bad. I won't do it again. Can you help me make my car happy and shiny again?"
+
+His mom sighed. She said, "Yes, Sam, I can help you. But you have to promise me to listen to me next time. And to take good care of your toys. They are not happy when they are wet and dirty. They are happy when they are dry and clean. Do you understand?"
+
+Sam nodded again. He said, "I understand, mom. I promise. I love you and I love my car. Thank you for helping me."
+
+His mom smiled. She said, "I love you too, Sam. And I love your car. Come on, let's go inside and get warm and cozy. And then we can clean your car and make it happy and shiny again."
+One day, a rabbit and a turtle had a race. The rabbit was very fast and the turtle was very slow. The rabbit thought he would win easily, so he ran very fast at the start. He soon left the turtle far behind.
+
+The rabbit saw a big tree and decided to rest under it. He said to himself, "I have plenty of time to finish the race. The turtle is so slow, he will never catch up with me. I can take a nap and still win." He closed his eyes and fell asleep.
+
+The turtle kept walking slowly and steadily. He did not stop or give up. He saw the rabbit sleeping under the tree, but he did not wake him up. He said to himself, "The rabbit is very foolish. He thinks he can win by being lazy. I will keep going and finish the race." He passed the rabbit and continued on his way.
+
+After a while, the rabbit woke up and yawned. He looked around and saw that the turtle was nowhere in sight. He said to himself, "Oh no, I slept too long. The turtle must have finished the race by now. I have to run as fast as I can and catch up with him." He jumped up and ran as fast as he could.
+
+But it was too late. The turtle had already reached the end of the race and was waiting for him. The other animals cheered for the turtle and praised him for being hard-working and patient. The rabbit felt very ashamed and sorry. He said to the turtle, "You are the winner. You are very smart and brave. I am the loser. I am very foolish and lazy. I learned a lesson today. I should not be overconfident and careless. I should finish what I start and not waste time."
+
+The turtle smiled and said, "Thank you, rabbit. You are very fast and strong. But speed and strength are not enough to win. You also need to be humble and diligent. I hope you will remember this lesson and be a better friend and racer."
+
+The rabbit nodded and said, "I will, turtle. I will. You are a good friend and a good teacher. I am sorry for being rude and arrogant. Can we be friends again?"
+
+The turtle said, "Of course, rabbit. We can be friends again. Come, let us go and drink some water from the well. We are both thirsty and tired."
+
+The rabbit and the turtle walked together to the well and drank some water. They felt refreshed and happy. They thanked each other and the other animals for the race. They learned to respect and appreciate each other's qualities and abilities. They became good friends and good racers. They never forgot the moral of the story: Finish what you start and do not be foolish.

+
+"Ha ha, silly bird!" Tom laughs. He runs after the bird.
+
+Lily does not like what Tom is doing. She thinks it is mean to tease the bird. She does not run after Tom. She stays under the tree.
+
+"Tom, stop it!" Lily shouts. "The bird is not silly. It is just dirty. It needs a bath. You are silly. You are mean."
+
+Tom does not listen to Lily. He keeps throwing stones at the bird. The bird keeps flying away. Tom thinks it is fun.
+
+Lily is sad. She does not want to play with Tom anymore. She wants to help the bird. She looks around. She sees a pond. She has an idea.
+
+She runs to the pond. She finds a stick. She dips the stick in the water. She makes the stick wet.

+Tom is surprised. He is wet. He stops throwing stones. He looks at Lily.
+
+"Lily, what are you doing?" Tom asks. He is angry.
+
+"I am giving you a bath," Lily says. "You are dirty. You have mud on your clothes. You need a bath. And you need to say sorry to the bird."
+
+Tom looks at his clothes. He sees the mud. He looks at the bird. He sees the fear. He feels bad.
+
+He puts down the stones. He says sorry to the bird. He says sorry to Lily.

+
+One day, they decide to play with their cars in the kitchen. They see a big bottle of sauce on the table. It is red and thick and smells good. They think it is fun to use the sauce as a road for their cars. They pour some sauce on the floor and make a long line.
+
+"Look, Anna, I have a blue car. It is very fast and strong. It can go on the sauce road and win the race," Ben says.
+
+"I have a yellow car. It is very bright and pretty. It can go on the sauce road and win the race, too," Anna says.

+They start to play with their cars on the sauce road. They make noises and cheer for their cars. They have fun and forget about everything else.
+
+But they do not see that their mom is coming. She is carrying a big pot of soup. She is going to put the soup on the table. She does not see the sauce road on the floor. She steps on the sauce and slips. She drops the pot of soup. The soup spills everywhere. It is very hot and dangerous.
+
+"Mommy!" Anna and Ben scream. They run to help their mom. They are scared and sorry.
+
+"Are you okay, Mommy?" they ask.
+
+Mom is not hurt, but she is very angry. She sees the mess on the floor and the table. She sees the sauce and the soup and the cars. She knows what Anna and Ben did.
+
+"What have you done, Anna and Ben? This is very bad. You made a big mess. You wasted the sauce and the soup. You could have hurt yourselves or me. This is very dangerous. You should not play with food. You should not play in the kitchen. You should know better," Mom says.
+

+
+But then, they hear a buzz. A mosquito is flying near them. It wants to bite them and make them itch. They do not like the mosquito.
+
+"Go away, mosquito!" Lila says. She waves her hand. But the mosquito does not go away. It follows them.
+
+"Let's go inside the tent," Ben says. "Maybe the mosquito will leave us alone." They run to the tent and zip it up. They hope the mosquito will not find them.
+
+But the mosquito is smart. It is a modern mosquito. It knows how to unzip the tent. It sneaks inside and looks for Lila and Ben.
+
+"Uh-oh," Lila says. She sees the mosquito. "It found us!"
+
+"What can we do?" Ben says. He is scared. He does not want to itch.
+
+Lila has an idea. She remembers her mom gave her a spray. The spray can supply a smell that the mosquito does not like. She grabs the spray and sprays the mosquito.

+
+She called for her mom, but no one came. She felt sad and scared. Where was her mom? Did she know that Lily was hurt? Lily started to cry.
+
+Then she heard a knock on the door. It was her dad. He came in and smiled at her. He said, "Good morning, Lily. I'm sorry you're hurt. Mom had to go to work early, but she knows you're sick. She left you a note and a kiss." He showed her a paper with some words and a heart on it. He said, "It says, 'I love you, Lily. Feel better soon. Mom.' Can you read it?"
+
+Lily looked at the paper and tried to read it. She knew some of the words, like "love" and "mom". She felt happy that her mom loved her and knew she was hurt. She said, "Thank you, dad. I love you, too. Can you read me a story?"
+
+Dad nodded and hugged her. He said, "Of course, I can. What story do you want to hear?" He picked up a book from the shelf and opened it. He said, "How about this one? It's called 'The Three Little Pigs.' Do you know it?"
+
+Lily smiled and nodded. She knew it. She liked it. She said, "Yes, I know it. It's a good story. Can you do the voices?"
+
+Dad laughed and said, "Sure, I can. Let's start." He began to read the story and did the voices of the pigs and the wolf. Lily listened and laughed. She forgot about her hurt throat for a while. She felt cozy and safe in her bed with her dad. She thought, "This is a good morning."
+Lila and Tom are playing in the living room. They have many toys and cushions on the floor. They like to build forts and pretend they are in a castle.
+
+"Let me have that cushion, Tom. It is pink and soft. I need it for my wall," Lila says.
+
+"No, Lila. It is mine. I found it first. You have many cushions already. Let me keep it," Tom says.
+
+They start to pull the cushion from each other. They are not happy. They are angry.
+
+"Stop it, you two. What is all this noise?" Mom says. She comes into the living room. She sees the mess and the fight. She is not happy. She is alert.
+
+"Lila and Tom, you need to share and be nice. The cushion is for everyone. You can take turns or use it together. Do you understand?" Mom says.
+
+Lila and Tom nod. They feel sorry. They let go of the cushion. They hug and say sorry.
+
+"Thank you, Mom. We will share and be nice. Can we keep playing?" Lila says.
+
+"Yes, you can. But please be quiet and tidy up when you are done. I love you both," Mom says.
+
+She smiles and leaves. Lila and Tom smile too. They decide to use the cushion as a pillow for their fort. They are happy. They are friends.
+Sam and Mia were playing in the park. It was a hot day and the sun was shining bright. They wanted to find some shade to rest and drink some water.
+
+"Look, there is a big tree over there!" Sam said, pointing to a green and brown spot. "Let's go and sit under it."
+
+"OK, let's go!" Mia agreed, and they ran towards the tree.
+
+The tree was very old and tall. It had many branches and leaves that provided shade for the animals and people. Sam and Mia found a nice spot to sit and put their water bottles on the ground.
+
+"Ah, this is much better!" Sam said, feeling the cool breeze. "Thank you, tree, for giving us shade!"
+
+But the tree did not say anything. It was grumpy and did not like children. It did not like their noise and their mess. It wanted to be left alone.
+
+"Go away, you little pests!" the tree said in a low and angry voice. "You are bothering me and my friends!"
+
+Sam and Mia were surprised and scared. They did not know that the tree could talk. They looked around and saw that the tree had many friends: birds, squirrels, bugs, and other trees.
+
+"Who are you talking to, tree?" Mia asked, feeling curious.
+
+"None of your business, you nosy girl!" the tree snapped. "Just go away and leave us in peace!"
+
+Sam and Mia did not like the tree's attitude. They felt hurt and angry. They decided to leave and find another place to play.
+
+"Fine, we will go!" Sam said, picking up his water bottle. "But you are very rude and mean, tree! You should be nice to others who need your shade!"
+
+"Yeah, you are a grumpy and selfish tree!" Mia added, grabbing her water bottle. "You don't deserve to have any friends!"
+
+They turned around and ran away from the tree. The tree did not care. It was happy to be alone. It did not notice that the sun was getting hotter and the wind was getting stronger. It did not notice that some of its leaves were falling and some of its branches were breaking. It did not notice that it was losing its shade and its friends.

+Tim and Sam were two boys who liked to play with their cars. They had many cars of different colors and sizes. They also had a big box of powder that they used to make roads and hills for their cars.
+
+One day, they saw an old cat in their backyard. The cat was thin and dirty and looked very hungry. Tim and Sam felt sorry for the cat and decided to feed it. They took some of the powder from their box and put it in a bowl. They thought the powder was like food for the cat.
+
+They called the cat and showed it the bowl. The cat came closer and sniffed the powder. It did not like the smell, but it was so hungry that it tried to eat some. The powder was dry and bitter and made the cat cough and choke. The cat felt sick and ran away.
+
+Tim and Sam did not understand why the cat did not like the powder. They thought the cat was rude and ungrateful. They went back to playing with their cars and forgot about the cat.
+
+The next day, they saw the cat again in their backyard. But the cat was not moving or breathing. It was lying on the ground, still and cold. The powder had poisoned the cat and killed it.

+Ben and Mia were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big box of blocks. They could build anything they wanted with the blocks: houses, cars, castles, animals, and more. They had a lot of fun with the blocks, but they also made a lot of mess. Their room was always messy with blocks everywhere.
+
+One day, their mom told them to clean up their room. She said they had to put all the blocks back in the box and put the box in the closet. She said if they did not do it, they would not get any dessert after dinner. Ben and Mia did not want to clean up. They wanted to keep playing with the blocks. They thought their mom would not notice the mess.
+
+They said to each other, "Let's hide the blocks under the bed. Mom will not see them there. Then we can play with them later and get dessert too." They thought they were very clever. They took all the blocks and put them under the bed. They did not put them in the box or in the closet. They made the bed look neat and tidy. They smiled and said, "We did it! We are done!"
+
+They ran downstairs to tell their mom they had cleaned up their room. Their mom was happy and said, "Good job, Ben and Mia! You can have dessert now. But first, let me see your room. I want to see how nice it looks." Ben and Mia felt nervous. They hoped their mom would not look under the bed. They followed their mom to their room.
+
+Their mom opened the door and saw their bed. She said, "Wow, your bed looks very nice. You did a good job making it." She walked to the bed and lifted the blanket. She saw all the blocks under the bed. She was very angry. She said, "Ben and Mia, what is this? You did not clean up your room. You hid the blocks under the bed. That is very naughty. You lied to me. You do not get any dessert. You have to clean up your room properly and go to bed early. No more playing with the blocks for a week."
+
+Ben and Mia felt very sad and sorry. They wished they had listened to their mom and cleaned up their room. They wondered why they had been so silly and lazy. They wondered how they could make their mom happy again. They wondered if they would ever play with the blocks again. They cried and said, "We are sorry, mom. We will never do it again. Please forgive us." But their mom did not listen. She was too upset. She took the blocks and put them in the closet. She locked the closet and took the key. She said, "Go to bed now. And no more wondering. You know what you did wrong." She left the room and closed the door. Ben and Mia were left alone in their messy room. They had no dessert, no blocks, and no fun. They had a very bad ending.

+
+Lily was sad and started to cry. A kind lady who was passing by heard Lily cry and came to ask what was wrong. Lily told her that she wanted to swim but didn't have a swimsuit that fit her. 
+
+The lady smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have an extra swimsuit in my bag. You can have it." Lily was so happy and said, "Thank you!" She put on the swimsuit and jumped into the lake.

+
+Mom says, "Of course, Mia. I have more yellow thread. But first, we need to pick out the broken thread from the cloth. It is deep inside. Can you see it?"

+
+"Ahoy, matey!" Tom says. "We are sailing to find treasure!"
+
+"Arrr, me too!" Lila says. "But where is the treasure map?"
+
+Tom looks around. He sees a pale book on the shelf. He runs to get it. He opens it and shows Lila.
+
+"Look, this is the map!" he says. "It has pictures of islands and stars and a big X!"

+
+"No, you can't catch me!" Lily said. She ran into the bedroom and hid under the bed.
+
+Ben followed her and looked under the bed. He saw Lily's feet sticking out. He grabbed them and pulled her out.
+
+"Got you!" Ben said. He put Lily on the bed and used a scarf to tie her hands. "Now you are going to jail!"
+
+Lily pouted. She did not like to be in jail. She wanted to escape. She looked around the room and saw a window. The window was clear and bright. She could see the garden and the swing.
+
+"Please, let me go!" Lily said. "I don't want to be in jail. I want to go outside and play on the swing."
+
+Ben shook his head. He was a good cop. He had to keep the robber in jail. He said, "No, you have to stay in jail. You did a bad thing. You have to learn your lesson."
+
+Lily felt sad. She closed her eyes and tried to sleep. She hoped to dream of something nice. She hoped to dream of flying away from the jail and playing on the swing. She hoped to dream of being free.
+Lily liked to help her mom in the kitchen. She wanted to be a good cook like her mom. One day, her mom was making a cake for Lily's dad. She told Lily to carry the eggs from the fridge to the counter. Lily was careful not to drop them. She felt proud of herself.
+
+Her mom cracked the eggs and mixed them with flour, sugar, butter and milk. She poured the batter into a pan and put it in the oven. She set the timer and said, "Now we have to wait for the cake to bake. Do you want to play with your dolls while we wait?"

+Lily nodded and ran to her room. She picked up her favorite doll, Anna. She pretended that Anna was her baby and she was her mom. She fed her, changed her, and sang to her. She had a lot of fun.
+
+But then she heard a loud beep. It was the timer. The cake was ready. Lily ran back to the kitchen. She saw her mom take the cake out of the oven. It smelled yummy.

We want to thank him and make him happy."
+
+Lily smiled. She loved her dad. She wanted to make him happy too. She said, "Can I help you decorate the cake, mom?" Her mom said, "Of course, sweetie. You are a great helper.

+
+Then, they hear a laugh. It is their teacher. She comes into the playroom. She sees the big mess. She sees the crayons on the floor. She sees the paper with the messy animals. She sees Lily and Ben with tears and frowns.

+Lily and Max were in the classroom. They liked to play with the toys and the books. But today, they had to do something else. The teacher said they had to stretch their bodies and learn some new words.
+
+"Stretching is good for you," the teacher said. "It makes you strong and healthy. Can you show me how you stretch?"
+
+Lily and Max tried to stretch. They reached their arms up high, they touched their toes, they twisted their waists. They felt funny and giggled.
+
+"Very good," the teacher said. "Now, can you say these words with me? Apple, banana, carrot."
+
+Lily and Max repeated the words. They liked the sounds and the shapes. They pointed to the pictures on the wall.
+
+"Very good," the teacher said. "Now, can you guess what is in this box?"
+
+The teacher brought a big box to the middle of the room. It had holes on the sides. Lily and Max were curious. They wanted to see what was inside.
+
+"Is it a toy?" Lily asked.
+
+"Is it a book?" Max asked.
+
+"No, it is not a toy or a book," the teacher said. "It is something alive. It is a surprise for you. But be careful, it might be smelly."
+
+Lily and Max looked at each other. They wondered what could be alive and smelly. They moved closer to the box. They heard a noise. It sounded like a snort.
+
+"What is that?" Lily asked.
+
+"Let's find out," Max said.
+
+They opened the box. They saw a big, pink, hairy thing. It had a long nose, two ears, and a curly tail. It was a pig!
+
+Lily and Max screamed. They jumped back. The pig came out of the box. It ran around the classroom. It knocked over the toys and the books. It made a mess.
+
+The teacher laughed. She said, "This is our new friend. His name is Porky. He is here to teach you about animals. Do you want to pet him?"
+
+Lily and Max looked at the pig. He looked funny and cute. He smelled bad, but he seemed friendly. They decided to give him a chance.
+
+They said, "Yes, we want to pet him."

+They stretched their hands and touched the pig. He felt soft and warm. He snorted and wagged his tail. He liked them.
+
+Lily and Max smiled. They said, "Hello, Porky. We are happy to meet you."

+"OK, but be careful. The tree is very high," Lily said.
+
+They climbed the tree and reached for the apples. They were juicy and sweet. They ate some and put some in their pockets.
+
+Suddenly, they heard a loud voice. It was the farmer who owned the tree.
+
+"Hey, you naughty children! Get down from my tree! You are stealing my apples!" the farmer shouted.
+
+He had an axe in his hand. He looked angry and scary.
+
+Tom and Lily were afraid. They dropped the apples and tried to climb down. But the farmer was fast. He appeared under the tree and swung his axe. He cut the branch that Tom and Lily were on.
+
+Tom and Lily fell to the ground. They were not hurt, but they were very sorry.
+
+"Please, don't be mad at us. We just wanted some apples. We didn't know they were yours," Tom said.
+
+"You should have asked me first. You can't take things that don't belong to you. That's naughty and wrong," the farmer said.

+He picked up the apples and the branch. He told Tom and Lily to go home and never come back.
+
+Tom and Lily ran away. They felt bad and ashamed. They learned their lesson. They never stole apples again.

+
+"No, Tom. It is too high. I do not like it," Mia says.
+
+Tom tries to make Mia feel better. He says, "Look, there is a switch on the slide. If you press the switch, the slide will lock. Then you will not go down. You will be safe."

+One day, Tom saw a new soldier in the store. It was big and shiny and had a red button. Tom wanted it very much. He asked his mom to buy it for him. His mom said no. She said it was too expensive and too noisy. Tom was sad and angry.
+
+Tom decided to take the soldier anyway. He waited until his mom was not looking and grabbed the soldier. He ran out of the store and zoomed to his home. He did not see the man who shouted at him and followed him.

+Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to feed the flowers with water from the hose. They knew that flowers were delicate and needed a lot of care.
+
+"Look, this one is so pretty!" Lily said, pointing to a pink rose. "It has many petals and smells nice."
+
+"Can I feed it?" Ben asked, holding the hose.
+
+"Be careful, Ben. Don't give it too much water. It might get sick." Lily warned.

+
+Ben pushes Sam off the bed and takes all the blankets and pillows. He makes a big pile on the mattress and jumps on it. He laughs and says, "Ha ha! This is my mattress! You can't have it!"
+
+Sam feels sad and cold. He lies on the floor and says, "That's not fair, Ben! You are being mean! You have to share the mattress!"
+
+But Ben doesn't listen. He keeps jumping and making noise. He thinks he is having fun, but he is really being selfish.
+
+Soon, their mom hears the noise and comes to their room. She sees Ben jumping on the mattress and Sam lying on the floor. She is not happy. She says, "Ben, what are you doing? Why are you jumping on the mattress? And why are you not sharing with Sam?"
+
+Ben stops jumping and says, "But mom, I want the whole mattress! I demand it! Sam doesn't want to jump with me!"
+
+Mom says, "Ben, that's not how we treat our brother. You have to share the mattress and be kind to Sam. And you have to stop jumping and making noise. It's time for bed. You need to sleep."
+
+Mom helps Sam get back on the bed and gives him some blankets and pillows. She says, "I'm sorry, Sam. Are you okay?"
+
+Sam says, "I'm okay, mom. Thank you."
+
+Mom says, "You're welcome, Sam. I love you."
+
+Mom says to Ben, "Ben, you have to say sorry to Sam. You hurt his feelings and made him uncomfortable."
+
+Ben looks at Sam and says, "Sorry, Sam. I was being silly. I love you."
+
+Sam says, "It's okay, Ben. I love you too."
+
+Mom says, "That's good, boys. Now, hug and kiss and say good night."
+
+Sam and Ben hug and kiss and say good night. Mom says, "Good night, boys. Sleep well."
+
+Mom turns off the light and leaves the room. Sam and Ben snuggle on the mattress and fall asleep. They are quiet and happy. They are brothers.
+Anna and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big shiny bike near a tree. It looks expensive and fun.
+
+"Wow, look at that bike!" Ben says. "Can we try it?"
+
+"I don't know," Anna says. "Maybe it belongs to someone. Maybe they will be angry if we touch it."
+
+Ben does not listen. He runs to the bike and gets on it. He tries to pedal, but the bike does not move. He looks down and sees a rope around the wheel. The rope is tied to the tree.
+
+"Oh no!" Ben says. "I'm stuck! It's a trap!"
+
+Anna hears Ben and runs to him. She tries to untie the rope, but it is too tight. She does not know what to do. She worries that someone will come and find them.
+
+"Help! Help!" Ben shouts. "Someone help us!"
+
+A man hears Ben and comes to the park. He sees the bike and the rope and the children. He is not angry. He is smiling.
+
+"Hello, kids," he says. "Are you having fun?"
+
+He unties the rope and frees Ben. He lifts him off the bike and puts him down.
+
+"Sorry, mister," Ben says. "We thought the bike was for playing. We didn't know it was a trap."
+
+The man laughs. "It's not a trap, kids. It's a test. I'm a bike maker. I make expensive bikes for people who like to ride fast. I put the rope on the bike to see how strong it is. I wanted to see if it can break or not."
+
+He looks at the bike and sees that it is not broken. He is happy.
+
+"You kids are very brave," he says. "You tried a bike that you didn't know. You are not afraid of new things. That's good. Do you like bikes?"
+
+Anna and Ben nod. They like bikes very much.
+
+The man smiles. "Well, then, how about this? I have another bike in my truck. It's not as expensive as this one, but it's very nice. It's red and has a bell and a basket. Do you want to try it?"
+
+Anna and Ben look at each other. They are excited. They say yes.
+
+The man takes them to his truck and gives them the red bike. He helps them to ride it in the park. They have a lot of fun. They forget about the trap and the worry. They only think about the bike and the man and the park. They are happy.
+Tom and Lily were hungry. They wanted to eat waffles for breakfast. Mom said she would make waffles for them, but they had to wait. She had to do some work first.
+
+Tom and Lily waited and waited. They played with their toys, but they still wanted waffles. They looked at the clock. It was almost time for school. They were worried they would not have time to eat.
+
+"Mom, can we have waffles now?" Tom asked.
+
+"Mom, please, we are very hungry!" Lily said.
+
+Mom looked at her computer. She was busy. She forgot about the waffles.
+
+"Sorry, kids, I have to finish this email. Just a few more minutes, OK?" Mom said.
+
+Tom and Lily were not happy. They decided to make waffles by themselves. They went to the kitchen. They saw the waffle maker on the counter. They plugged it in. They opened the fridge. They found some batter and some syrup.
+
+"Let's make waffles, Lily!" Tom said.
+
+"OK, Tom, but be careful. The waffle maker is hot. It can hurt you." Lily said.
+
+Tom and Lily poured some batter into the waffle maker. They closed the lid. They waited for the light to turn green. They smelled the waffles. They were ready.
+
+Tom opened the lid. He tried to grab a waffle with his hand. He did not use a fork. He did not know it was dangerous.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Tom cried. He burned his hand. He dropped the waffle. He ran to the sink. He put his hand under the water.
+
+Lily heard Tom cry. She ran to him. She saw his hand. It was red. She felt sorry for him.
+
+"Tom, are you OK? I told you to be careful. The waffle maker is hot. It can hurt you." Lily said.
+
+"I know, I know. I was silly. I forgot. It hurts a lot." Tom said.
+
+Mom heard the noise. She ran to the kitchen. She saw the mess. She saw Tom and Lily. She saw Tom's hand. She was scared.
+
+"What happened here? Tom, what did you do? Are you OK?" Mom asked.
+
+"Mom, we wanted to make waffles. We were hungry. We did not want to wait. Tom burned his hand. He did not use a fork. He did not listen to me." Lily said.
+
+Mom hugged Tom and Lily. She was angry, but she was also sorry. She took Tom to the bathroom. She put some cream on his hand. She wrapped it with a bandage. She kissed it.
+
+"Tom, you were very naughty. You should not touch the waffle maker. It is dangerous. You could have hurt yourself more. You should always listen to Mom and Lily. They remind you what is safe and what is not." Mom said.
+
+"I'm sorry, Mom. I'm sorry, Lily. I learned my lesson. I will not do it again. I will listen to you. I will be good." Tom said.
+
+Mom smiled. She was glad Tom was OK. She was proud of Lily. She was a good sister. She helped Tom.
+
+"OK, kids, let's go back to the kitchen. I will make you some waffles. But hurry up. You have to go to school soon." Mom said.
+
+Tom and Lily followed Mom. They were happy. They ate their waffles. They thanked Mom. They said sorry. They hugged her.
+
+Mom took them to school. She reminded them to be careful. She reminded them to have fun. She reminded them she loved them. She waved goodbye.
+Anna and Ben were twins. They liked to play with their toys and watch television. Sometimes they watched cartoons, sometimes they watched animals, sometimes they watched songs.
+
+One day, their mom said, "I have a surprise for you. Come with me to the living room." Anna and Ben followed their mom. They saw a big box with a bow on it. "What is it, mom?" they asked.
+
+"It is a present for you. You can open it together," mom said. She gave them a pair of scissors. Anna and Ben cut the tape and the paper. They lifted the lid. They saw a new television. It was bigger and brighter than their old one.
+
+"Wow!" Anna and Ben said. "Thank you, mom! This is a lovely television!"
+
+Mom smiled. "You're welcome, my sweeties. I know you love to watch television. But remember, you also need to play outside, read books, and help with chores. Okay?"
+
+"Okay, mom," Anna and Ben said. They hugged their mom. Then they plugged in the new television and turned it on. They saw their favorite cartoon. They laughed and clapped. They were very happy. Mom watched them and felt happy too. She was glad she could wrap such a nice present for them.
+Sara and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. They had a big yard with a swing, a slide and a sandbox. One day, they saw something new in the yard. It was a long, thin, shiny thing that went up and down. It was a spring.
+
+"Wow, look at that!" Sara said. "I want to try it!"
+
+"Me too!" Ben said. "Let's go!"
+
+They ran to the spring and took turns to jump on it. It was fun. The spring made them bounce high in the air. They laughed and shouted.
+
+But then, Sara had an idea. She wanted to jump higher than Ben. She waited until he was on the ground, and then she jumped on the spring with all her might. She hoped he would be surprised.
+
+But she was the one who was surprised. The spring was too strong for her. It bounced her so high that she flew over the fence and landed in the neighbor's yard. She was scared and hurt. She started to cry.
+
+"Help! Help!" she yelled.
+
+Ben heard her yell. He was worried. He looked over the fence and saw her lying on the grass. He saw the neighbor's dog, too. It was a big, black, furry dog with wide eyes and sharp teeth. It was running towards Sara. It looked angry.
+
+"Go away! Go away!" Ben yelled at the dog.
+
+He wanted to help Sara, but he was too small to climb the fence. He looked around and saw a stick. He picked it up and threw it at the dog. He hoped it would chase the stick instead of Sara.
+
+But he was wrong. The dog ignored the stick. It kept running towards Sara. It was almost there.
+
+"Help! Help!" Sara yelled again.
+
+Ben felt helpless. He wished someone would come. He wished their mom would hear them. He wished the spring would go away.
+
+But then, he heard a loud noise. It was a horn. It was the neighbor's car. It was coming back from the store. It stopped in front of the fence. The driver got out. It was the neighbor. He was a nice man who liked kids. He saw Sara and the dog. He saw Ben and the spring. He understood what happened.
+
+"Hey, hey, hey!" he yelled at the dog. "Stop! Stop! Stop!"
+
+He ran to the fence and opened the gate. He grabbed the dog by the collar and pulled it away from Sara. He scolded the dog and put it in the car. He went to Sara and checked if she was okay. He was gentle and kind. He gave her a hug and a band-aid. He carried her to the fence and gave her to Ben. He apologized for the dog and the spring. He said he was sorry for leaving them in the yard. He said he would take them away.
+
+"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" Sara and Ben said to the neighbor.
+
+They hugged him and said they were sorry, too. They said they were sorry for jumping on the spring and flying over the fence. They said they would not do it again.
+
+The neighbor smiled and said it was okay. He said he was glad they were not hurt. He said he hoped they would still be friends. He said he would come back later and bring them some cookies.
+
+Sara and Ben smiled and said yes. They said they liked him and his cookies. They said they liked his dog, too, but only when it was nice.
+
+They waved goodbye to the neighbor and went back to their yard. They decided to play with the swing, the slide and the sandbox. They decided to stay away from the spring. They decided to be careful and have fun.
+
+They learned a lesson that day. They learned that springs can be dangerous. They learned that dogs can be scary. They learned that neighbors can be helpful. They learned that yelling can be good or bad. They learned that playing together is better than playing alone.
+One day, a little girl named Lily went to the park with her mom and dad. She saw a big pile of ash near a bench. She wondered what it was and how it got there.
+
+She asked her mom, "Mom, what is that black stuff?"
+
+Her mom said, "That is ash, Lily. It is what is left after something burns. Sometimes people make a fire in the park to keep warm or cook food, and then they leave the ash behind."
+
+Lily wanted to touch the ash, but her mom said, "No, Lily, don't touch it. It might be hot or dirty. And it is not nice to play with other people's things."
+
+Lily nodded, but she was still curious. She looked around and saw a stick on the ground. She picked it up and walked to the pile of ash. She poked the ash with the stick and saw it move. She liked how it looked and felt. She started to stir the ash with the stick, making patterns and shapes.
+
+She did not see a man coming from behind the bench. He was the one who made the fire and left the ash. He was not happy to see Lily stirring his ash. He shouted, "Hey, kid, what are you doing? Stop messing with my ash!"
+
+Lily was scared and dropped the stick. She ran to her mom and dad, who heard the man and came to see what was wrong. They saw the man and the ash and understood what happened.
+
+They said to the man, "We are sorry, sir. Lily did not know it was your ash. She was just curious and wanted to play. She did not mean to upset you."
+
+The man looked at Lily and saw she was crying. He felt sorry for her and realized he was too harsh. He said, "It's okay, kid. I'm sorry, too. I was just surprised and angry. You can play with the ash if you want. Just be careful and don't burn yourself."
+
+Lily stopped crying and smiled. She said, "Thank you, sir. You are very kind. Can I share the stick with you?"
+
+The man nodded and smiled back. He said, "Sure, kid. You can share the stick with me. And maybe we can make some more shapes and patterns together."
+
+Lily and the man went back to the pile of ash and stirred it with the stick. They had fun and became friends. Lily's mom and dad watched them and were glad. They thought it was a good day at the park.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and swing. They saw a creek with water and rocks and fish. They wanted to go near the creek and look at the fish.
+
+"Can we go to the creek, Mom?" Lily asked.
+
+"OK, but be careful. The creek is deep and fast. Don't go in the water. Stay on the grass," Mom said.
+
+Lily and Tom nodded and ran to the creek. They saw many fish swimming and splashing. They tried to count the fish, but there were too many. They saw a big fish with a shiny tail. They wanted to touch the fish.
+
+"Look, Tom, a big fish! Let's catch it!" Lily said.
+
+She picked up a stick and tried to poke the fish. The fish was fast and smart. It swam away from the stick. Lily leaned over the water and reached for the fish. She lost her balance and fell in the creek.
+
+"Help, help! I'm wet and cold!" Lily cried.
+
+Tom was scared. He saw Lily in the water. He wanted to help her. He remembered what Mom said. He ran to Mom and shouted.
+
+"Mom, Mom! Lily fell in the creek! She needs help!"
+
+Mom heard Tom and ran to the creek. She saw Lily in the water. She was glad Lily was wearing a life jacket. She pulled Lily out of the creek and hugged her.
+
+"Lily, are you OK? You gave me a big scare. Why did you go in the water?" Mom asked.
+
+"I'm sorry, Mom. I wanted to catch the big fish. It was shiny and pretty. I didn't listen to you. I was silly," Lily said.
+
+Mom dried Lily with a towel and gave her a warm hug.
+
+"It's OK, Lily. I'm glad you're safe. The fish is not important. You are important. You are my important girl. Next time, listen to me and stay on the grass. OK?" Mom said.
+
+"OK, Mom. I love you. You are my important Mom," Lily said.
+
+They smiled and hugged. Tom joined them and hugged them too.
+
+"I love you, Lily. You are my important sister. I love you, Mom. You are my important Mom," Tom said.
+
+They all smiled and hugged. They learned a lesson. They had fun in the park. They were happy.
+One day, a little mouse named Max found a shiny thing in the trash. It was a diamond ring that someone had thrown away. Max thought it was very pretty and wanted to keep it. He put it on his tail and ran to show his friends.
+
+"Look what I found!" he squeaked. "It is so sparkly and bright!"
+
+His friends were amazed. They had never seen anything like it. They wanted to touch it and play with it. But Max was greedy. He did not want to share his diamond ring. He said it was his and his alone.
+
+"That is not nice, Max," said his friend Lily. "You should share with us. We are your friends."
+
+"No, no, no!" said Max. "It is mine, mine, mine! Go away!"
+
+He ran away from his friends and hid in a dark corner. He looked at his diamond ring and felt very happy. He thought he was the richest and smartest mouse in the world. He decided to taste his diamond ring to see if it was as sweet as it looked.
+
+He opened his mouth and bit the diamond ring. But it was not sweet at all. It was hard and sharp and hurt his teeth. He spat it out and cried. He had broken his tooth and his diamond ring.
+
+He felt very foolish and sad. He realized he had been mean to his friends and lost his shiny thing. He wished he had been nicer and shared his diamond ring. He wondered if his friends would forgive him.
+
+He picked up his broken diamond ring and ran back to his friends. He said he was sorry and asked them to be his friends again. He gave them his diamond ring and said they could have it.
+
+His friends were happy and hugged him. They said they forgave him and they were still his friends. They said they did not care about the diamond ring. They cared about him.
+
+Max felt very happy and relieved. He learned a lesson that day. He learned that being greedy and selfish is not good. He learned that sharing and being kind is better. He learned that friends are more precious than diamonds.
+Lily and Ben liked to play with blocks. They made houses, towers, and cars with them. One day, they wanted to make a bridge. They put some blocks together and made a long bridge. They were happy with their bridge.
+
+But then, they saw that their bridge was very plain. It had no colors, no shapes, no patterns. It was just brown blocks. They thought their bridge was ugly. They wanted to make it pretty.
+
+They looked around and saw some things they could use to decorate their bridge. They saw crayons, stickers, feathers, and beads. They took some of them and started to decorate their bridge. They drew on it, stuck on it, tied on it, and hung on it. They made their bridge colorful, shiny, fluffy, and sparkly. They were proud of their bridge.
+
+They showed their bridge to their mom. She smiled and said, "Wow, what a beautiful bridge! You are very creative and clever. I love your bridge." Lily and Ben hugged their mom and said, "Thank you, mom. We love you and we love our bridge." They played with their bridge for a long time. They had fun with their bridge.
+Sara was a very independent girl. She liked to do things by herself, without help from anyone. She loved to eat peanuts, but they were in a jar that was hard to open. She tried to twist the lid, but it was too tight. She tried to hit it with a spoon, but it only made a loud noise. She tried to ask her mom, but she was busy on the phone.
+
+Sara was frustrated. She wanted to eat peanuts, but she could not open the jar. She looked around the kitchen and saw a stool. She had an idea. She dragged the stool to the counter and climbed on it. She reached for the jar and put it on the edge. She pushed it with all her might, hoping it would fall and break.
+
+But the jar did not fall. It rolled. It rolled off the counter and onto the floor. It rolled across the floor and out of the kitchen. It rolled into the living room, where Sara's dad was watching TV.
+
+"What's that?" he said, as he saw the jar rolling by. He got up and followed it. He saw Sara running after it, too.
+
+"Dad, dad, help me!" Sara said. "I want to eat peanuts, but I can't open the jar!"
+
+Sara's dad smiled. He picked up the jar and handed it to Sara. He showed her how to use a rubber band to grip the lid and twist it. He heard a pop and saw the lid come off.
+
+"Here you go, sweetie," he said. "You can have some peanuts now. But be careful, they can be choking hazards. And next time, ask for help before you try to open something that's too hard for you."
+
+Sara nodded. She thanked her dad and took a handful of peanuts. She was happy. She still liked to be independent, but she also learned that sometimes it was okay to ask for help.
+Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play together. One day, they play with a ball in the park. Tom kicks the ball hard. The ball flies in the air and hits Lily on the head. Lily falls down and cries.
+
+Tom runs to Lily and says, "I'm sorry, Lily. Are you okay?" Lily shakes her head and holds her head. She says, "It hurts, Tom. It hurts a lot." Tom hugs Lily and says, "Don't cry, Lily. I'll get help."
+
+Tom sees a man with a phone. He runs to the man and says, "Please help. My sister is hurt. She needs a doctor." The man nods and calls 911. He says, "There is a little girl who got hit by a ball. She is in the park. Please send an ambulance."
+
+Soon, an ambulance comes. The ambulance has a siren and a light. It makes a loud noise. The ambulance people are nice. They put Lily on a stretcher and give her a mask. They say, "Don't worry, Lily. We'll take you to the hospital. You'll be fine." They let Tom go with Lily. They say, "You're a good brother, Tom. You can keep Lily company."
+
+The ambulance takes Tom and Lily to the hospital. The hospital is big and white. It has many rooms and people. The hospital people are nice too. They check Lily's head and give her some medicine. They say, "Lily has a bump on her head. She needs to stay here for a while. But she will be okay." They give Lily a bandage and a teddy bear. They say, "You can keep this teddy bear, Lily. It will make you feel better." Lily smiles and says, "Thank you."
+
+Tom stays with Lily in the hospital. He holds her hand and says, "I'm sorry, Lily. I didn't mean to hurt you. I love you, Lily." Lily says, "I love you too, Tom. It's okay. You didn't do it on purpose. You're a nice brother, Tom." They hug and kiss. They are happy. They wait for their mom and dad to come. They know they will be home soon.
+Tom and Lily wanted to build a big sand castle by the lake. They took their buckets and shovels and ran to the shore. They found a good spot and started to pile up the sand.
+
+"Look, Lily, I made a tower!" Tom said, proud of his work.
+
+"Wow, Tom, that's great! And I made a wall!" Lily said, showing him her part.
+
+They worked hard and had fun. They added more towers and walls and a gate and a flag. They made their sand castle look very nice.
+
+But then they heard a loud splash. A big dog had jumped into the lake and was swimming towards them. The dog saw their sand castle and thought it was a toy. He ran out of the water and started to dig and bite and knock down their sand castle.
+
+"Hey, stop it, dog! That's our sand castle!" Tom shouted, trying to chase him away.
+
+"Go away, dog! You're ruining our work!" Lily cried, holding her bucket.
+
+But the dog was too strong and fast. He destroyed their sand castle in minutes. Tom and Lily were very sad and angry. They had worked so hard and now their sand castle was gone.
+
+They sat on the sand and looked at the mess. They felt like crying.
+
+"I'm sorry, Tom. We can't build another one. I'm too tired," Lily said, rubbing her eyes.
+
+"Me too, Lily. I'm too tired and it's getting late. We have to go home," Tom said, sighing.
+
+They picked up their buckets and shovels and walked back to their parents. They told them what had happened and how they felt.
+
+Their parents hugged them and said, "We're sorry, Tom and Lily. That was a mean dog. He shouldn't have done that. But you know what? You did a great job building your sand castle. You used your imagination and your skills and your teamwork. You should be proud of yourselves. And you can always build another one another day. Maybe next time, you can find a safer place or put a fence around your sand castle. Or you can make friends with the dog and teach him to be nice. There are many ways to solve a problem. The important thing is to not give up and to learn from your mistakes."
+
+Tom and Lily nodded and smiled. They felt better and thanked their parents. They learned that building a sand castle was fun and rewarding, but also that things can go wrong sometimes. They learned to be brave and creative and to not let a bad dog ruin their day. They learned that they could always try again and do better. They learned a valuable lesson.
+Anna and Ben love to watch the jets fly in the sky. They sit on the grass and point at the big, loud, shiny planes. Sometimes they make jet noises with their mouths and pretend to fly too.
+
+One day, they see a jet that is different from the others. It is very wide and has a big round nose. It flies lower and slower than the other jets. Anna and Ben are curious and excited.
+
+"What is that jet?" Anna questions Ben.
+
+"I don't know," Ben says. "Maybe it is a special jet. Maybe it has something inside."
+
+"Like what?" Anna questions.
+
+"Like... like... like a big cake!" Ben says, making his eyes wide.
+
+"A big cake?" Anna says, making her mouth wide. "Why would a jet have a big cake?"
+
+"Maybe it is for a big party," Ben says. "Maybe it is for us!"
+
+Anna and Ben laugh and clap their hands. They wish they could see the jet up close and taste the cake. They watch the jet fly away and disappear behind the clouds.
+
+The next day, Anna and Ben go to the park with their mom. They see a big tent and a lot of people. They hear music and smell something sweet. They run to the tent and see a sign that says "Welcome to the Air Show!"
+
+Inside the tent, they see the wide jet with the big round nose. It is parked on the ground and has a door open. They see people going inside and coming out with plates of cake.
+
+Anna and Ben can't believe their eyes. They look at each other and smile. They run to the jet and join the line. They get their plates of cake and eat it happily. It is the best cake they ever had.
+
+They thank the pilot and the crew for the cake and the jet. They ask them questions about the jet and how it flies. They learn that the jet is called a Boeing 747 and that it can carry a lot of people and things.
+
+Anna and Ben are amazed and happy. They think the jet is the coolest thing ever. They decide that they want to be pilots when they grow up. They hug each other and say "This is the best day ever!"
+Lily and Ben were playing with clay in the garden. They made shapes of animals and people and put them on a big tray. Lily made a cat, a dog, a bird and a mom. Ben made a car, a truck, a plane and a dad.
+
+"Look at my clay mom," Lily said. "She has a nice dress and a smile. Do you like her?"
+
+"Yes, she is very pretty," Ben said. "But my clay dad is faster. He can drive the car and the truck and fly the plane. Do you want to see?"
+
+Lily nodded and Ben showed her how his clay dad moved on the tray. He made noises like vroom and zoom and beep.
+
+But then, a naughty boy came and saw their clay. He wanted to play with it too, but he did not ask. He grabbed the tray and ran away with it.
+
+"Hey, stop!" Lily and Ben shouted. "That is our clay! Give it back!"
+
+The naughty boy did not listen. He ran to the street and threw the tray on the ground. The clay shapes broke into pieces and the boy laughed.
+
+Lily and Ben were very sad. They ran to the street and saw their clay ruined. They cried and hugged each other.
+
+The naughty boy's mom saw what he did. She was very angry. She came to the street and scolded him.
+
+"You are a very naughty boy!" she said. "You broke Lily and Ben's clay. That was not nice. You have to pay for what you did. You have to say sorry and help them make new clay shapes. And you have to give them some of your toys as a gift. Do you understand?"
+
+The naughty boy nodded. He felt sorry for what he did. He said sorry to Lily and Ben and helped them make new clay shapes. He also gave them some of his toys as a gift.
+
+Lily and Ben forgave him. They thanked him and his mom. They played with their new clay shapes and toys. They became friends.
+Anna and Ben are playing with their toy cars and trucks. They pretend to deliver things to different places. Anna has a red truck and Ben has a blue truck.
+
+"Anna, I need to deliver this napkin to the farm. It is for the cows to wipe their noses," Ben says. He puts a white napkin on his truck.
+
+"Okay, Ben. I need to deliver this fine hat to the castle. It is for the princess to wear on her head," Anna says. She puts a pink hat on her truck.
+
+They drive their trucks around the room, making vroom-vroom noises. They stop at different spots and pretend to give their deliveries.
+
+"Here you go, cows. This is your napkin. It is soft and clean," Ben says. He takes the napkin off his truck and puts it on the floor.
+
+"Thank you, Ben. You are very kind. Moo-moo," the cows say. They pretend to wipe their noses with the napkin.
+
+"Here you go, princess. This is your fine hat. It is pretty and shiny," Anna says. She takes the hat off her truck and puts it on a doll.
+
+"Thank you, Anna. You are very nice. Wow-wow," the princess says. She pretends to wear the hat on her head.
+
+Anna and Ben smile and wave at their customers. They are happy to deliver things. They drive their trucks back to their home base.
+
+"That was fun. We are good deliverers," Anna says.
+
+"Yes, we are. Do you want to play some more?" Ben asks.
+
+"Maybe later. I am tired. I need a nap," Anna says.
+
+"Me too. Let's go to our beds," Ben says.
+
+They park their trucks and go to their beds. They cuddle with their blankets and pillows. They close their eyes and fall asleep. They dream of delivering more things.
+Tom liked to dig in the dirt. He had a small shovel and a bucket. He looked for shiny things in the dirt. He called them minerals. He wanted to find a big mineral, like a diamond.
+
+One day, he saw something shiny in the dirt. He dug and dug until he pulled it out. It was a big mineral. It was round and smooth and sparkled in the sun. Tom was very happy. He put the mineral in his bucket and ran to show his mom.
+
+But when he got to his mom, she was not happy. She looked at the mineral and said, "Tom, this is not a mineral. This is a glass ball. It is not real. It is a toy. Someone must have left it in the dirt."
+
+Tom was very sad. He felt tricked. He wanted a real mineral, not a toy. He asked his mom, "How can I tell if something is a mineral or a toy?"
+
+His mom said, "Well, there are some ways to tell. For example, minerals are usually hard and heavy. They do not break easily. Toys are usually light and soft. They can break easily. And sometimes, toys have words or pictures on them. Minerals do not."
+
+Tom said, "Oh, I see. Thank you, mom. Can I keep the glass ball anyway? It is still pretty."
+
+His mom said, "Yes, you can keep it. But remember, it is not a regular mineral. It is a special toy. And be careful with it. It can break if you drop it or throw it."
+
+Tom said, "OK, mom. I will be careful. And I will keep digging for real minerals. Maybe I will find a diamond someday."
+
+His mom smiled and hugged him. She said, "Maybe you will, Tom. Maybe you will."
+Anna and Ben were playing with their toy cars in the living room. They liked to make loud noises and pretend they were racing. Their mom was in the kitchen, making a cake for dad's birthday. She told them to be quiet, because dad was sleeping upstairs.
+
+Anna and Ben tried to be quiet, but they were having too much fun. They zoomed their cars around the sofa, the table, and the rug. They laughed and shouted and honked their horns. They did not hear mom calling them from the kitchen.
+
+Mom came into the living room, holding a big bowl of chocolate frosting. She was angry. She saw Anna and Ben playing with their cars, making a mess and a noise. She said, "What are you doing? I told you to be quiet! You woke up dad! Look at this!" She pointed to the ceiling, where a wet spot was growing. "You made the water pour from the pipes! You are in big trouble!"
+
+Anna and Ben stopped playing. They looked at mom, then at the ceiling, then at each other. They felt embarrassed. They did not mean to make the water pour. They did not know the pipes were above them. They said, "We're sorry, mom. We didn't know. We were just playing."
+
+Mom sighed. She put down the bowl of frosting. She said, "I know you were just playing, but you have to be careful. You can't make so much noise in the house. You can hurt the pipes and the walls and the floor. And you can't wake up dad. He works hard and he needs his rest. Do you understand?"
+
+Anna and Ben nodded. They said, "We understand, mom. We're sorry. We love you. We love dad. Can we help you with the cake?"
+
+Mom smiled. She said, "Yes, you can help me with the cake. But first, we have to clean up this mess. And then, we have to be very quiet. We don't want to make the water pour again. We want to make dad happy. OK?"
+
+Anna and Ben said, "OK, mom. We'll help you. We'll be quiet. We'll make dad happy."
+
+They hugged mom and followed her to the kitchen. The living room was silent. The water stopped pouring. The cake was ready. The birthday surprise was saved.
+Ben and Lily liked to play in the big park. They liked to run, jump, slide and swing. But their favorite thing was to climb the tall tree. The tree had many branches and leaves. It was fun to see the birds and the sky from the top.
+
+One day, they saw a new thing on the tree. It was a leather bag. It was brown and shiny. It had a zipper and a strap. Ben and Lily wondered what was inside. They wanted to see.
+
+"Let's climb the tree and get the bag," Ben said.
+
+"OK, but be careful," Lily said.
+
+They climbed the tree, branch by branch. They reached the bag. Ben grabbed it and opened the zipper. He looked inside.
+
+"Wow, look at this!" he said. He pulled out a shiny thing. It was a clear bottle. It had a label with words and pictures. Ben could not read the words, but he saw the picture of a skull and crossbones.
+
+"What is it?" Lily asked.
+
+"I don't know, but it looks cool," Ben said. He opened the bottle and smelled it. It smelled bad. He made a face.
+
+"Yuck, it stinks!" he said.
+
+"Let me see," Lily said. She took the bottle from Ben and smelled it too. She also made a face.
+
+"Maybe we should put it back," she said.
+
+But it was too late. The bottle slipped from her hand and fell to the ground. It broke and spilled. The liquid was green and bubbly. It burned the grass and the flowers. It made a hissing sound.
+
+Ben and Lily heard a loud voice. It was a man. He was angry.
+
+"Hey, you kids! What have you done? That's my poison! I was going to use it to kill the rats! Now you've ruined everything!"
+
+He ran to the tree. He saw Ben and Lily. He looked mean. He had a stick in his hand.
+
+"Get down here, you little brats! I'll teach you a lesson!"
+
+Ben and Lily were scared. They tried to climb down, but they were too high. They could not find a way. They cried for help, but no one heard them. The man reached the tree. He swung his stick. He hit Ben and Lily. They fell to the ground. They did not get up. They did not play anymore.
+Sam and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run, swing and slide. But their favorite game was hide and seek. Sam was good at hiding. He could find places behind trees, under benches and in bushes. Lily was good at seeking. She could look for clues, listen for sounds and follow tracks.
+
+One day, they saw a big pile of wood and metal in the park. It was a wreck. Someone had broken a car and left it there. Sam thought it was a good place to hide. He ran to the wreck and crawled inside. He found a hole and peeked out. He saw Lily looking for him.
+
+Lily saw the wreck too. She thought it was scary. She did not want to go near it. She thought Sam might be hiding there, but she was afraid. She called out, "Sam, where are you? Come out, come out, I give up!"
+
+Sam heard Lily's voice. He wanted to come out, but he was stuck. He had crawled too far into the wreck and could not move. He felt scared and lonely. He shouted, "Lily, help me! I'm in the wreck and I can't get out!"
+
+Lily heard Sam's shout. She was worried. She ran to the wreck and looked for Sam. She saw his face in the hole. She said, "Sam, I'm here! Don't worry, I'll get you out!" She pulled and pushed the wood and metal until she made a bigger hole. She reached in and grabbed Sam's hand. She pulled him out of the wreck. They hugged and smiled.
+
+They were happy to see each other. They decided to never hide in the wreck again. They went back to the park and played other games. They were good friends.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, they go to the zoo with their moms. They see many animals, like lions, monkeys, and birds. They are happy and excited.
+
+They come to a place where there are penguins. The penguins are black and white and have funny beaks. They swim in the water and waddle on the ice. Lily and Ben think they are cute and funny. They want to touch them and hug them.
+
+But there is a fence between them and the penguins. The fence is high and hard. Lily and Ben cannot reach the penguins. They are sad and angry. They try to climb the fence, but their moms stop them. They say it is not safe and not nice to bother the penguins.
+
+Lily and Ben do not listen. They want to be with the penguins. They cry and scream. They weep and kick. Their moms are not happy. They say they have to leave the zoo if they do not behave.
+
+Lily and Ben do not want to leave the zoo. They want to see more animals. They stop weeping and kicking. They say they are sorry. Their moms hug them and kiss them. They say they love them and they are proud of them.
+
+They walk away from the penguins. They see a big sign that says "Penguin Show". The sign has a picture of a penguin wearing a hat and a bow tie. The sign says the show is in ten minutes. Lily and Ben smile and clap. They want to see the show. They think it will be fun and funny. They hope the penguin will do tricks and dance. They forget about the fence and the weeping. They are happy and excited again.
+Tom is a big boy who likes to write stories. He has many books with pictures and words that he reads with his mom and dad. He wants to make his own book with his stories. He writes them on paper with a pencil. He has many papers with stories.
+
+One day, he tells his mom, "Mom, I want to print my stories and make a novel. A novel is a big book with many stories. Can you help me?"
+
+Mom smiles and says, "Sure, Tom, I can help you. But first, we need to check your stories. Are they ready?"
+
+Tom nods and says, "Yes, they are ready. I checked them with my eyes and my ears. They have a beginning, a middle, and an end. They have characters, problems, and solutions. They are fun and interesting."
+
+Mom says, "That's great, Tom. You are a good writer. Let's go to the computer and print your stories. Then we can bind them together and make a cover. You can choose the color and the title of your novel."
+
+Tom is very happy and says, "Thank you, Mom. You are the best. I can't wait to see my novel. I will show it to Dad and my friends. Maybe they will like to read it too."
+Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. Tom had a blue hat that his mom gave him. He wore it every day. Lily had a red hat that her dad gave him. She wore it every day too.
+
+One day, a big dog came to the park. It was black and furry and loud. It saw Tom and Lily and ran to them. It wanted to play. But it did not know how to play nice. It jumped on Tom and knocked him down. It bit his blue hat and tore it. Tom was sad and scared. He cried.
+
+"Stop! Bad dog! You destroy my hat!" Tom shouted.
+
+Lily saw what happened. She ran to Tom and helped him up. She was angry and brave. She waved her red hat at the dog and yelled.
+
+"Go away! Leave us alone! You are not nice!" Lily shouted.

+
+"Thank you, Lily. You are my friend. You save me and my hat." Tom said.
+
+"You are welcome, Tom. You are my friend too. I am sorry about your hat. It is broken." Lily said.
+
+"It is okay. I can fix it. Or I can get a new hat. Maybe a red one like yours." Tom said.
+
+They smiled and laughed. They went to find their moms and dads. They told them what happened. Their moms and dads were proud and glad. They gave them hugs and kisses. They said they were brave and good. They said they could get new hats if they wanted. Tom and Lily were happy. They liked their hats. But they liked their friends more.
+One day, a boy went to the park with his mom. He saw a big dog and wanted to pet it. He ran to the dog and said, "Hi, dog! You are so nice and soft. Can I be your friend?"
+
+But the dog did not like the boy. The dog was bitter and mean. He growled and barked at the boy. He showed his sharp teeth and bit the boy's hand. The boy cried out loud. He felt a lot of pain.
+
+The mom heard the boy and ran to him. She saw the blood on his hand and the dog. She was very angry and scared. She yelled at the dog, "Bad dog! Go away! You hurt my boy!"
+
+The dog's owner heard the mom and came to see what happened. He saw the boy and the dog and felt sorry. He said, "I'm so sorry, ma'am. My dog is old and sick. He does not like strangers. He does not mean to be bitter. Please forgive him."
+
+The mom looked at the owner and said, "I'm sorry, too, sir. But you should keep your dog on a leash. He could have hurt my boy more. He needs to see a doctor."
+
+The owner nodded and said, "You are right, ma'am. I will take my dog to the vet. I hope your boy is okay."
+
+The mom took the boy to the car and drove to the hospital. She hugged the boy and said, "I love you, my boy. You are brave and kind. You tried to speak to the dog, but he did not understand. Sometimes, animals and people are bitter and do not want to be friends. But you can always find good friends who will speak to you and love you."

+
+Dad said, "Don't worry, Anna. We can go to the store and buy some butter. But we have to hurry, because mom will be home soon." Anna nodded and put on her shoes. They got in the car and drove to the store.
+
+At the store, they found the butter. But there was only one left. Anna reached for it, but another boy grabbed it first. He said, "This is mine. I need it for my cookies." Anna felt angry. She wanted to take the butter from him. But dad said, "Anna, be nice. Maybe he needs it more than we do. We can find something else to use instead of butter. How about oil or margarine?"
+
+Anna thought for a moment. She did not like oil or margarine. But she did not want to be mean to the boy. She said, "Okay, dad. You can have the butter, boy. I hope your cookies are yummy." The boy smiled and said, "Thank you, Anna. You are very kind. I hope your cake is yummy too." He gave her a hug and ran to his mom.
+
+Anna and dad bought some oil and went back to the car. Anna said, "Dad, I'm sorry I was angry. I wanted to make the best cake for mom. But I guess butter is not the most important thing." Dad said, "That's right, Anna. The most important thing is that you love mom and you want to make her happy. I'm proud of you for being nice to the boy and sharing the butter. You are a good girl." Anna smiled and said, "Thank you, dad. I love you and mom very much. I'm grateful for you." They hugged and drove home.

+Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big statue of a man on a horse. The statue was made of copper. It was shiny and brown.
+
+"Who is that?" Lily asked.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe he was a king or a hero," Tom said.
+
+They went closer to the statue. They saw a plaque with some words on it. They could not read the words. They were too hard.
+
+Suddenly, they heard a loud noise. It was a clap of thunder. The sky was dark and stormy. They saw a flash of lightning. It hit the statue. The statue made a loud boom.
+
+Tom and Lily were scared. They ran away from the statue. They saw their mom and dad waiting for them. They hugged them.
+
+"Are you okay?" Mom asked.
+
+"Yes, we are okay. But the statue was hit by lightning. It was very loud and scary," Lily said.
+
+"Wow, that must have been a sight. But don't worry, the statue is fine. It's made of copper, so it can conduct electricity. It won't break or burn," Dad said.
+
+"Really? That's cool. Can we go see it again?" Tom asked.
+
+"Maybe later, when the storm is over. For now, let's go home and have some hot chocolate," Mom said.

+
+"OK, but stay close to me," Ben said. "We don't want to get lost."
+
+They entered the maze and followed the paths. They saw many turns and dead ends. They had to go back and try again. They laughed and had fun.
+
+But then, they saw another boy in the maze. He was bigger and faster than them. He ran past them and shouted, "I know the way out! Follow me if you can!"
+
+Lily and Ben did not like the boy. He was rude and mean. He made them feel jealous and angry. They wanted to beat him to the exit.
+
+They ran after him, but he was too quick. He reached the end of the maze and climbed out. He smiled and waved at them.
+
+"Ha ha, I win! You lose!" he said. "You are too slow and dumb!"
+
+Lily and Ben felt sad and mad. They did not know how to get out. They felt trapped and scared.
+
+But then, they heard a voice. It was their mom. She was looking for them.
+
+"Lily! Ben! Where are you?" she called.
+
+"Mom! We are here!" Lily and Ben shouted. "We are in the maze! Help us!"
+
+Mom heard them and came to the maze. She looked at the boy who had teased them. She did not like him either. She said, "You are not nice. You should not make fun of others. You should help them."
+
+She asked the boy to show her the way out. He did not want to, but he had to. He led mom to the exit. Mom climbed in and followed the path. She found Lily and Ben. She hugged them and said, "I'm here to save you. I'm sorry you got stuck. Are you OK?"
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They were happy to see mom. They said, "We are OK. Thank you for saving us. We love you."

+
+Ben tries to do the same. He folds the paper and cuts it. But he cuts too much and his paper tears. He does not have a butterfly. He has a hole. He feels sad and says, "Lily, I can't make a butterfly. My paper is broken."
+
+Lily sees Ben's paper and says, "It's okay, Ben. You can try again. You need to be patient and careful. Don't cut too much. Cut a little bit at a time. Here, I will help you." She gives Ben a new paper and holds his hand. She guides him to cut the paper like she did. Then they open the paper and see a butterfly.

+
+But then, her little brother Tom came into the room. He saw the paints and wanted to play with them. He did not ask Lily. He took the blue paint and poured it on the paper. He made a big mess. He laughed and clapped his hands.
+
+Lily was very angry and sad. She saw her rainbow ruined by the blue paint. She shouted at Tom. "No, no, no! That is my paint! That is my rainbow! You are bad! Go away!" She pushed Tom away and started to cry.
+
+Mom heard the noise and came into the room. She saw the paint and the paper and the children. She understood what happened. She hugged Lily and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I know you worked hard on your rainbow. It was very pretty. But Tom is too little to know. He did not mean to hurt you. He just wanted to have fun. Can you forgive him?"
+
+Lily looked at Mom and then at Tom. Tom looked sorry and scared. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I like your rainbow. Can I help you make a new one?" Lily stopped crying and wiped her eyes. She said, "OK, Tom. But you have to ask me first. And you have to be gentle with the paints. They are not for pouring. They are for painting." Mom smiled and said, "That's very kind of you, Lily. I'm proud of you. And I'm proud of you, Tom, for saying sorry. Why don't we all clean up this mess and then we can paint a new rainbow together?" Lily and Tom nodded and said, "Yes, Mom."

+"Look at our castle!" Anna said. "It is so pretty!"
+
+But then a big wave came and washed away their castle. Anna and Ben were sad. Their castle was gone.
+
+"Don't cry," their mom said. "You can build another one. Or something else. The sand is very delicate. It can change shape easily."
+
+Anna and Ben nodded. They wiped their tears and smiled. They liked to build with sand. They decided to build a bridge this time. They hoped the wave would not come again.

+Anna is sad. She really wants the cake. She thinks Ben is mean. She tries to urge him again. "Please, Ben. Just a little bit. We can hide it. They will not see. It is your cake. You can do what you want."
+
+Ben is firm. He loves Anna, but he loves his family too. He wants to do the right thing. He says, "No, Anna. Stop it. You are not nice. You are greedy. I don't want to play with you. Go away."
+
+Anna is angry. She feels bad. She runs away. She cries. She wishes she did not urge Ben. She wishes she was fair. She wishes she was still his friend.
+Lily liked to imagine things. She imagined she was a princess, a pirate, a doctor, and many other things. She liked to use her toys and books to help her imagine. Sometimes she imagined with her friends, and sometimes she imagined by herself.
+
+One day, Lily found a lime in the kitchen. She had never seen a lime before. It was green and round and smelled sour. She wondered what it was. She decided to imagine it was something else. She took the lime to her room and put it on her bed.
+
+She imagined the lime was an enormous green ball. She bounced it on the bed and threw it in the air. She imagined the lime was an enormous green egg. She cuddled it and pretended it would hatch into a dinosaur. She imagined the lime was an enormous green jewel. She put it on her head and pretended she was a queen.
+
+But then, her brother Ben came into her room. He saw the lime and grabbed it. He said it was his lime and he wanted to eat it. He did not care what Lily imagined. He said limes were not for playing, they were for squeezing.
+
+Lily was very angry. She did not want to give up her lime. She said it was her lime and she wanted to imagine with it. She said limes were not for eating, they were for pretending.
+
+They started to pull the lime from each other. They shouted and cried. They did not listen to each other. They did not share.
+
+Their mom heard the noise and came into the room. She saw the lime and the mess. She was not happy. She took the lime from them and said they had to stop fighting. She said limes were for both playing and eating, but they had to be careful and respectful. She said they had to apologize and make up.
+
+Lily and Ben felt sorry. They said they were sorry and hugged each other. They decided to share the lime. They cut it in half and squeezed some juice into a glass. They drank it and made a funny face. It was very sour. They laughed.
+
+They also kept some pieces of the lime. They took them to their room and imagined with them. They imagined they were green stars, green coins, green buttons, and many other things. They had fun together.
+
+They learned to imagine and share. They liked limes.

+
+"Wow, look at this!" Tom says. "It is a fire truck. We can be firefighters and save people."
+
+"Yes, let's play!" Jen says. "But we need fuel for the fire truck. Where can we get fuel?"
+
+Tom thinks for a moment. He sees a bottle of water on the table. He has an idea. He runs to the table and grabs the bottle. He pours some water into the fire truck's tank.
+
+"Here, I have fuel!" he says. "Now we can drive the fire truck and put out fires."
+
+Jen smiles. She gets in the fire truck with Tom. They turn on the siren and the lights. They drive around the yard, looking for fires. They see a pile of leaves. They pretend it is a fire.
+
+"Oh no, there is a fire!" Tom says. "We have to put it out. Jen, you use the hose. I will use the ladder."
+
+"OK, Tom!" Jen says. She rubs the hose and sprays water on the leaves. Tom climbs the ladder and pretends to rescue a cat.
+
+"Meow, meow!" he says. He holds the cat and comes down the ladder. He gives the cat to Jen.
+
+"Good job, Jen!" he says. "We put out the fire and saved the cat. We are brave firefighters."
+
+"Good job, Tom!" Jen says. She hugs the cat and rubs its fur. The cat purrs and licks her face. It is a calm and happy cat.
+
+They put the cat in the fire truck and drive back to the box. They park the fire truck and put the bottle back on the table. They are tired but proud. They sit on the grass and play with the cat.
+
+"We had fun today," Tom says.
+
+"Yes, we did," Jen says. "We are good friends."

+Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play with toys, draw pictures and share snacks. One day, they had a big fight. Lily wanted to play with Ben's red car, but Ben said no. He said it was his favorite toy and he did not want to share. Lily got angry and grabbed the car from Ben. Ben got angry and pushed Lily. They both started to cry and yell.
+
+Mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw Lily and Ben with the red car and tears in their eyes. She asked them what happened and listened to their stories. She said they both did something wrong. She said Lily should not take things without asking and Ben should learn to share. She said they should say sorry to each other and hug. She said they should forgive each other and be friends again.
+
+Lily and Ben looked at each other. They felt sorry for what they did. They said sorry and hugged. They said they forgive each other and they are still best friends. Mom smiled and said she was proud of them. She said they were good and reliable children. She said she had a surprise for them. She brought a big bowl of ice cream and two spoons. She said they could share the ice cream and enjoy it together. Lily and Ben smiled and thanked Mom. They took the bowl and the spoons and sat on the couch.

+
+One day, Sara and Tom are thirsty. They go to the kitchen and ask Mom for juice. Mom gives them two cups of juice. One is red and one is yellow. Sara likes red juice and Tom likes yellow juice.
+
+"Thank you, Mom!" they say and take their cups.
+
+They go back to the living room and put their cups on the table. They play with their toys again. They forget about their juice.
+
+After a while, they are thirsty again. They look at the table and see their cups. But they forget which cup is theirs.
+
+"Is this my juice?" Sara asks and points to the yellow cup.
+
+"No, that is my juice!" Tom says and grabs the yellow cup.
+
+"But I like yellow juice!" Sara says and frowns.
+
+"And I like red juice!" Tom says and smiles.

+They look at each other and have an idea. They swap their cups and drink their juice.
+
+"Yummy!" they say and laugh.
+
+They are happy and play with their toys again. They do not forget to share.
+Tom and Sam were brothers who lived on a big ranch with many animals. They liked to feed the cows, the horses, the pigs and the chickens every day. They also liked to play with their dog, Spot, who was very unique. He had one black ear and one white ear, and he could do many tricks.
+
+One day, Tom and Sam decided to feed the animals by themselves, without their mom and dad. They took some buckets of food and went to the barn. They fed the cows and the horses, and then they went to the pigs. They saw a big pig with a curly tail and a pink nose. They thought he looked funny and cute.
+
+"Hello, piggy," Tom said. "Do you want some food?"
+
+"Yes, please," the pig said.
+
+Tom and Sam were very surprised. They had never heard a pig talk before.
+
+"Wow, you can talk!" Sam said. "You are very unique, like Spot."
+
+"Thank you," the pig said. "You are very nice. Can you come closer, please? I want to tell you a secret."
+
+Tom and Sam were curious. They wanted to hear the pig's secret. They put down their buckets and walked closer to the pig. The pig smiled and opened his mouth.
+
+But the pig did not tell them a secret. He bit them with his sharp teeth. He was very hungry and he wanted to eat them. Tom and Sam screamed and tried to run away, but it was too late. The pig ate them up and licked his lips. He was very happy and full.
+
+The end.
+Lily and Ben were playing with their toy cars on the floor. They liked to make them zoom and crash and honk. Lily had a red car and Ben had a blue car. They pretended they were driving on a big road with lots of other cars.
+
+"Beep beep! Move out of the way!" Lily said, as she pushed her car past Ben's.
+
+"Hey, that's not fair! You can't do that!" Ben said, as he tried to catch up with her.
+
+"Yes, I can! I'm faster than you!" Lily said, as she turned her car around and drove it back towards Ben.
+
+But Lily did not see the big screen that was standing on a table behind her. She drove her car too fast and hit the screen with a loud bang. The screen wobbled and fell down with a crash. It landed on the floor, right on top of Lily's car.
+
+"Oh no! My car! My car!" Lily cried, as she ran to the screen and tried to lift it. But the screen was too heavy and too big for her. She could not see her car under it.
+
+Ben saw what happened and ran to help Lily. He was frightened that the screen might hurt her or break her car. He grabbed the screen and pulled it with all his strength. He managed to move it a little bit and saw a part of Lily's car sticking out.
+
+"Lily, look! Your car is still there! It's not broken!" Ben said, as he pointed to the car.
+
+"Really? Let me see!" Lily said, as she peeked under the screen. She saw her car and smiled. It was still red and shiny and had four wheels. She reached for it and pulled it out.
+
+"Thank you, Ben! You saved my car!" Lily said, as she hugged her car and then hugged Ben.
+
+"You're welcome, Lily! I'm glad your car is okay!" Ben said, as he hugged her back.
+
+They put the screen back on the table and decided to play with their cars more carefully. They drove them slowly and gently and said sorry when they bumped into each other. They had fun and were happy.
+Anna and Ben were at the beach with their mom and dad. They liked to play in the sand and splash in the water. But they were not allowed to go too far, because the water was deep and there were jellyfish.
+
+One day, they saw a big jellyfish on the shore. It was pink and shiny and had long tentacles. Anna and Ben wanted to touch it, but their mom said no. She said jellyfish can sting and hurt. She told them to stay away from it.
+
+But Anna and Ben were curious. They waited until their mom and dad were busy with their picnic. Then they crept closer to the jellyfish. They whispered to each other, "Do you think it is alive? Do you think it can see us?"
+
+They reached out their hands to touch the jellyfish. But before they could, they heard a loud shout. It was their dad. He saw them and ran to them. He grabbed their hands and pulled them away from the jellyfish. He was angry and scared. He said, "What are you doing? Don't you know how dangerous jellyfish are? You could have been stung and hurt. You have to listen to your mom and me. We love you and we want you to be safe."
+
+Anna and Ben felt sorry and ashamed. They said, "We're sorry, dad. We were just curious. We won't do it again." Their dad hugged them and said, "I'm glad you're okay. But you have to be careful at the beach. There are many things that can hurt you. You have to stay close to us and follow the rules."
+
+Anna and Ben nodded and said, "We will, dad. We love you too." They went back to their mom and their picnic. They decided to play with their sand toys and their ball instead of the jellyfish. They had fun and they were safe.
+Tom and Lily like to play at the gym. They like to run and jump and swing on the bars. But they do not like the big kids who are mean and loud. The big kids yell and push and take their toys.
+
+One day, Tom and Lily find a new toy in the gym. It is a shiny thing with a sharp point. They do not know what it is, but they think it is fun. They take turns to poke the air with it and make noises.
+
+"Zap! Zap! I am a superhero!" Tom says.
+
+"Pow! Pow! I am a princess!" Lily says.
+
+They do not see the big kids coming. The big kids see the shiny thing and want it. They run to Tom and Lily and grab the shiny thing.
+
+"Hey, give that back!" Tom says.
+
+"No, it is ours now!" one of the big kids says.
+
+He tries to poke Tom with the sharp point, but Tom dodges. The sharp point hits Lily in the eye. Lily screams and falls to the floor. Blood comes out of her eye.
+
+Tom and Lily are very scared. They cry and call for help. The big kids drop the shiny thing and run away. They do not say sorry.
+
+The gym teacher comes and sees what happened. He calls the ambulance and the police. He is very angry and sad. He says the shiny thing is a needle and it is very dangerous. He says Tom and Lily should not have played with it. He says the big kids are in big trouble.
+
+Tom and Lily go to the hospital. Lily loses her eye. She has to wear a patch. She is not a princess anymore. She is sad and hurt. Tom is sad and sorry. He wishes he never found the shiny thing. He wishes he could make Lily happy again. He is not a superhero anymore. He is a bad friend.

+
+Ben says, "No, this is my train. I got it from the trade. You can play with my car."
+
+Sara says, "But I want to play with your train. It is shiny and fast. Your car is old and slow."
+
+Ben says, "Sorry, Sara. You can't have my train. It is mine."
+
+Sara is sad. She does not want to play with Ben anymore. She goes to her doll and hugs it.
+
+Ben sees that Sara is sad. He feels sorry for her. He likes Sara. He thinks of a way to make her happy.
+
+He says, "Sara, I have an idea. Why don't we help each other? You can play with my train for a while, and I can play with your doll for a while. Then we can trade back. How does that sound?"
+
+Sara looks at Ben. She smiles. She says, "That sounds good, Ben. Thank you for helping me. You are a good friend."
+
+Ben smiles too. He says, "You are welcome, Sara. You are a good friend too."
+
+They trade their toys and play together. They are happy. They are busy. They have fun.
+Lily and Max wanted to decorate the tree for Christmas. They asked their mom if they could help. Mom said yes, but they had to be careful and honest. She gave them some shiny balls, some lights, and some candy canes.
+
+Lily and Max started to hang the balls and the lights on the tree. They tried to make it look pretty and bright. But Max saw a candy cane that looked very yummy. He wanted to eat it. He thought mom would not notice.
+
+He took the candy cane and hid it behind his back. He said to Lily, "I have to go to the bathroom. You keep decorating the tree." He ran to his room and ate the candy cane. It was sweet and minty.
+
+But when he came back, he saw that mom was looking at the tree. She saw that one candy cane was missing. She asked Lily and Max, "Who took the candy cane? You have to be honest with me."
+
+Lily said, "I didn't take it, mom. I was decorating the tree the whole time." She looked at Max. Max felt guilty. He knew he did something wrong. He said, "I'm sorry, mom. I took the candy cane. I was hungry and it looked good. I lied to you and Lily."
+
+Mom was not happy. She said, "Max, that was not nice. You should not take things without asking. You should not lie to me or your sister. You have to say sorry to Lily and share the candy canes with her. And you have to help me finish decorating the tree."
+
+Max said, "I'm sorry, mom. I'm sorry, Lily. I will share the candy canes with you. I will help you decorate the tree. I will be honest from now on." He hugged mom and Lily. They forgave him and hugged him back.
+
+They finished decorating the tree together. It looked very pretty and bright. They were happy and proud. Mom said, "You did a good job, Lily and Max. You are good kids. I love you." They said, "We love you too, mom." They smiled and enjoyed the tree.
+Tim and Jen are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big dog. The dog is black and white. It has a long tail and sharp teeth.
+
+"Let's go and pet the dog!" Tim says. He likes dogs. He runs to the dog.
+
+"No, Tim, stop!" Jen says. She is scared of dogs. She urges Tim to stay away from the dog. "The dog might bite you!"
+
+But Tim does not listen. He reaches out his hand to touch the dog. The dog growls and snaps at Tim. It bites his hand. Tim screams and cries. He drops to the ground. His hand is bleeding.
+
+Jen runs to Tim. She tries to help him. She is sorry for Tim. She wishes he had listened to her.
+
+The dog's owner comes. He is angry. He yells at Tim and Jen. He says they are bad children. He says they should not bother his dog. He says his dog is lovely and gentle. He does not care that Tim is hurt.
+
+He takes his dog and leaves. He does not say sorry. He does not call for help.
+
+Tim and Jen are alone. They are sad and scared. They do not know what to do. They wish they had never seen the dog. They wish they had stayed in the park.
+Tim was an adventurous boy who liked to explore new places. One day, he saw a big hill behind his house and wanted to climb it. He asked his mom if he could go, and she said yes, but he had to be careful and come back soon.
+
+Tim put on his shoes and hat and ran to the hill. He saw many rocks and flowers and bugs on the way. He also saw a big tree with a hole in it. He wondered what was inside the hole. He went closer and peeked inside. He saw something shiny and round. He reached his hand inside to grab it.
+
+But as soon as he touched it, he felt a sharp pain in his thumb. He pulled his hand out and saw a big red mark. He had been bitten by a snake! He screamed and dropped the shiny thing. It was a metal spring that someone had left there. The snake had been hiding under it.
+
+Tim ran back to his house, crying and holding his thumb. His mom saw him and ran to him. She saw the bite and the spring and understood what had happened. She wrapped his thumb in a cloth and took him to the doctor. The doctor gave him some medicine and a bandage and told him he would be fine.
+
+Tim learned his lesson that day. He realized that being adventurous was good, but he also had to be careful and not touch things that he did not know. He decided to stay away from the big tree and the snake. He also decided to keep the spring as a souvenir of his adventure. He hoped he would find something safer and more fun to explore next time.
+Ben and Mia were playing in the living room. They had many toys and books, but they wanted to do something new. They saw a pair of scissors on the table. They were shiny and sharp.
+
+"Let's examine the scissors," Ben said. "Maybe we can cut something with them."
+
+Mia nodded. She liked to examine things. She took the scissors and opened and closed them. They made a snip-snip sound.
+
+"Be careful," Ben said. "The scissors can hurt you. They are not a toy."
+
+Mia did not listen. She saw a picture on the wall. It was a picture of their family. She liked the picture, but she wanted to make it more fun. She had an idea.
+
+"I'm going to cut the picture," Mia said. "I'm going to make a puzzle with it."
+
+Ben gasped. He knew that was a bad idea. The picture was important to their mom and dad. They would be very angry if Mia cut it.
+
+"No, Mia, don't do that!" Ben said. "That's a serious mistake. Give me the scissors."
+
+But Mia was faster. She ran to the wall and started to cut the picture. She cut the faces, the clothes, the background. She made many pieces.
+
+Ben tried to stop her, but it was too late. The picture was ruined. Mia looked at the pieces and smiled.
+
+"Look, Ben, I made a puzzle!" Mia said.
+
+But Ben did not smile. He was scared. He heard their mom and dad coming. He knew they would see the picture and be very upset.
+
+"Mia, what have you done?" Ben said. "You are in big trouble. You should not have examined the scissors."
+Lily loved to sing. She sang all the time, even when she was not supposed to. She sang in the morning, she sang at lunch, she sang in the bath. She sang so loud that her mom and dad sometimes asked her to be quiet.
+
+One day, Lily was singing in her room. She saw a bookshelf with many books on it. She wanted to read some of the books, but they were too high for her. She had an idea. She pushed a chair to the bookshelf and climbed on it. She reached for a book, but she was careless. She pulled too hard and the book fell on her head. Then another book fell, and another, and another. Soon, the bookshelf was empty and Lily was buried under a pile of books.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Lily cried. She was hurt and scared. She stopped singing.
+
+Her mom heard the noise and ran to her room. She saw the mess and Lily under the books. She was angry and worried. She lifted the books and hugged Lily.
+
+"Lily, what did you do?" she asked. "Why were you so careless? You could have been hurt badly. You should not climb on the chair and the bookshelf. You should ask for help if you want a book."
+
+"I'm sorry, mom," Lily said. "I wanted to read a book, but they were too high. I like books. And I like to sing."
+
+"I know, Lily, I know. I like books and singing too. But you have to be careful and follow the rules. Books are good, but they can also be dangerous. And singing is fun, but you have to know when to stop. Do you understand?"
+
+"Yes, mom, I understand. I will be careful and follow the rules. And I will sing only when it is okay. Can I have a hug?"
+
+"Of course, Lily, of course. I love you, my little singer. But please, no more books on your head."
+Lily and Max were excited to go to the park. They put on their coats and hats and ran to the street. They saw a big yellow bus with many people inside. The bus made a loud noise and moved fast.
+
+"Look, Max, a bus!" Lily said. "Where is it going?"
+
+"I don't know, Lily. Maybe to another park. Or to a zoo. Or to a big house with lots of toys." Max said.
+
+They watched the bus until it turned the corner and disappeared. Then they saw something else in the sky. It was a big red balloon with a basket and a fire. The balloon was soaring high above the trees and the houses.
+
+"Wow, Lily, a balloon!" Max said. "It is flying!"
+
+"Can we fly too, Max?" Lily asked.
+
+"Maybe, Lily. Maybe if we find a balloon and a fire and a basket. Or maybe if we flap our arms really hard. Or maybe if we make a wish." Max said.
+
+They held hands and looked at the balloon. They closed their eyes and wished they could soar too. They felt the wind in their hair and the sun on their faces. They smiled and opened their eyes. They saw the balloon was still there, but it was smaller and farther away.
+
+"Bye, balloon!" Lily said. "Have fun flying!"
+
+"Bye, balloon!" Max said. "Maybe we will see you again!"
+
+They waved at the balloon and then ran to the park. They were excited to play and have fun. They did not need a balloon to soar. They had each other and their imagination.
+Sara loves to learn new words. She likes to repeat what her mom and dad say. Sometimes she says funny things that make them laugh.
+
+One day, Sara and her mom go to the park. Sara sees a big tree with many leaves. She points and says, "Tree!"
+
+Mom smiles and says, "Yes, that's a tree. Do you know what color the leaves are?"
+
+Sara looks and says, "Green!"
+
+Mom nods and says, "That's right, they are green. But do you know what happens to the leaves in the fall?"
+
+Sara shakes her head and says, "No, what?"
+
+Mom says, "The leaves change color. They become red, yellow, orange, and brown. They look very pretty. Then they fall to the ground and make a crunchy sound when you step on them."
+
+Sara says, "Wow, that's amazing!"
+
+Mom says, "Yes, it is. And do you know what happens after the fall?"
+
+Sara says, "No, what?"
+
+Mom says, "The winter comes. The leaves are gone and the tree is bare. It gets very cold and sometimes it snows. The snow is white and soft and you can make snowmen and snowballs with it."
+
+Sara says, "Wow, that's amazing!"
+
+Mom says, "Yes, it is. And do you know what happens after the winter?"
+
+Sara says, "No, what?"
+
+Mom says, "The spring comes. The tree grows new leaves and flowers. It gets warmer and the birds sing and the bees buzz. The flowers are colorful and smell nice and you can pick them and make a bouquet."
+
+Sara says, "Wow, that's amazing!"
+
+Mom says, "Yes, it is. And do you know what happens after the spring?"
+
+Sara says, "No, what?"
+
+Mom says, "The summer comes. The tree is full of leaves and fruits. It gets very hot and you can swim and play in the water. The fruits are juicy and sweet and you can eat them and share them with your friends."
+
+Sara says, "Wow, that's amazing!"
+
+Mom says, "Yes, it is. And do you know what all these changes are called?"
+
+Sara says, "No, what?"
+
+Mom says, "They are called seasons. And they happen every year. A year is a long time. It is when the earth goes around the sun one time. You are three years old. That means you have seen the seasons three times."
+
+Sara says, "Wow, that's amazing!"
+
+Mom says, "Yes, it is. And you know what else is amazing?"
+
+Sara says, "What?"
+
+Mom says, "You are amazing. And I love you very much."
+
+Sara hugs her mom and says, "I love you too, mom. You are amazing too."
+Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of fun making noises and pretending to be animals. Lily was a lion and Ben was a monkey. They roared and jumped and laughed.
+
+But soon they started to feel tired. They yawned and rubbed their eyes. They looked at the clock and saw that it was almost time for bed.
+
+"Let's go to the kitchen and have a snack," Lily said. "Maybe we can find some beans. I like beans. They are yummy and good for you."
+
+"OK," Ben agreed. "But only a little. I don't want to spoil my dinner."
+
+They went to the kitchen and saw a bowl of beans on the table. Their mom had cooked them for dinner. They smelled good and looked warm.
+
+"Can we have some beans, mom?" Lily asked.
+
+"Sure, but only a few," mom said. "You don't want to fill up your tummy too much. And don't forget to wash your hands first."
+
+Lily and Ben washed their hands and took a spoon each. They scooped some beans and ate them. They were warm and soft and tasty. They smiled and said, "Thank you, mom."
+
+"You're welcome, sweeties," mom said. "Now, finish your beans and get ready for bed. It's been a long day and you need your sleep."
+
+Lily and Ben nodded and finished their beans. They felt happy and full. They gave mom a hug and a kiss and went to their bedroom. They put on their pajamas and brushed their teeth. They climbed into their beds and snuggled under their blankets.
+
+"Good night, Lily," Ben said.
+
+"Good night, Ben," Lily said.
+
+They closed their eyes and fell asleep. They dreamed of lions and monkeys and beans.
+Lily likes to write. She has a big book and many pens. She writes her name, and her mom's name, and her cat's name. She writes many words and draws many pictures.
+
+One day, Lily wants to write a letter to her friend Ben. She writes "Hi Ben, I miss you. Do you like cats? I have a cat. Her name is Daisy. She is orange and soft. Bye, Lily." She draws a cat next to her words.
+
+She looks for an envelope to put her letter in. She cannot find one. She sees a magazine on the table. She thinks, maybe I can make an envelope from the magazine. She takes the magazine and a pair of scissors. She cuts a big square from the magazine. She folds the square and puts her letter inside. She tapes the edges.
+
+She shows her mom her envelope. She says, "Mom, look, I made an envelope for Ben. Can you help me send it?"
+
+Her mom smiles and says, "That's very clever, Lily. But you know, you cannot cut the magazine. That's not yours. That's dad's. He likes to read it. He will be sad if he sees it cut."
+
+Lily feels sorry. She says, "I'm sorry, mom. I didn't know. I just wanted to send a letter to Ben. I don't have an envelope."
+
+Her mom hugs her and says, "It's okay, Lily. I understand. You are very sweet to write to Ben. But next time, ask me first before you cut something. I have some envelopes for you. Come, let's go and find a stamp."
+Sam and Lily like to play in the park. They run and jump and slide and swing. They have fun with their toys and friends. One day, they see a big orange mist in the sky. It looks like fire, but it does not burn. They are curious and want to see it closer.
+
+"Let's go to the mist!" Sam says. "Maybe we can find something cool!"
+
+"No, Sam, we can't!" Lily says. "Mommy said we have to stay in the park. The mist might be bad for us. It might make us sick or hurt."
+
+Sam does not listen to Lily. He runs to the mist. Lily follows him. She is scared and angry. She does not want to lose Sam or get in trouble.
+
+"Sam, come back!" Lily shouts. "You are being naughty! Mommy will be mad!"
+
+Sam does not hear Lily. He is too excited. He reaches the mist. He feels a wet and cold touch on his face. He laughs and tries to catch the mist with his hands. He thinks it is fun.
+
+Lily catches up with Sam. She grabs his arm and pulls him away from the mist. She is crying and coughing. She does not like the mist. It makes her eyes and nose and throat hurt.
+
+"Sam, you are silly!" Lily says. "The mist is not fun! It is bad! Look, it is making us dirty and wet and sick! We have to go back to the park and tell Mommy!"
+
+Sam looks at Lily. He sees that she is right. He feels sorry and ashamed. He does not want to make Lily sad or sick. He does not want to make Mommy mad. He hugs Lily and says sorry.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily. I was silly. I did not know the mist was bad. I just wanted to see it. I won't do it again. Let's go back to the park and tell Mommy. Maybe she can make us feel better."
+
+Lily nods and hugs Sam back. She forgives him. She knows he did not mean to be naughty. She loves him. They hold hands and walk back to the park. They hope Mommy will not be too mad. They hope the mist will go away soon. They hope they can play in the park again.
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play outside with their cart. Their cart has four wheels and a big box. They can put toys and books and snacks in the box.
+
+One day, they go to the park with their mom. The park has a pond with ducks and fish. Lily and Ben want to see the ducks. They take their cart to the pond. They see some bread on the ground. They pick up the bread and throw it to the ducks. The ducks come closer and quack. Lily and Ben laugh.
+
+"Look, Ben, the ducks are hungry!" Lily says.
+
+"Yes, they like the bread. Can we feed them more?" Ben asks.
+
+"OK, but be careful. Don't go too close to the water," Mom says.
