They wanted to eat it. + +"Can we have some jam?" Lily asked. + +"Maybe, we can. Mom did not say anything about the jam. Let's take it," Tom said. + +They took the jar of jam and a spoon. They went to the living room and sat on the couch. They opened the jar and started to eat the jam. It was very sweet and sticky. They liked it a lot. + +But they did not know that the jam was not ordinary jam. It was mysterious jam. Mom had prepared it with a special recipe. The jam had a magic power. It could make people do funny things. + +Soon, Lily and Tom felt very strange. They started to giggle and wiggle. They started to sing and dance. They started to jump and hop. They could not stop. + +Mom came home and saw them. She was very surprised and angry. + +"What are you doing? Why are you eating the jam? That jam is not for you. That jam is for the clown. He is coming to Grandma's birthday party. He needs the jam to make everyone laugh. You have spoiled the jam. Now the clown will not be funny. Now Grandma will not be happy. You have been very naughty," Mom said. + +Lily and Tom felt very sorry. They did not know the jam was for the clown. They did not know the jam was mysterious. They did not mean to spoil the jam. They only wanted to eat something yummy. + +They apologized to Mom. They promised to never eat things from the fridge without asking. They learned their lesson. They learned to respect Mom's rules. They learned to be patient and grateful. They learned to be careful with mysterious things. +Jenny loved books. She had many books in her room. She had a big bookcase to keep them. She liked to read them every day. She did not like to share them with anyone. + +One day, her friend Tom came to play. Tom saw the bookcase and wanted to look at the books. He asked Jenny if he could read one. Jenny said no. She said they were her books and she did not want him to touch them. Tom felt sad. He thought Jenny was selfish. + +Jenny went to the kitchen to get a snack. She left Tom alone in her room. Tom saw a book on the floor. It was a shiny book with a picture of a castle on the cover. He picked it up and opened it. He saw words and pictures of a magic land. He wanted to read more. + +But as he turned the page, something strange happened. The book started to glow. A bright light came out of the book. Tom was scared. He dropped the book and ran to the door. But the door was locked. He could not get out. + +He heard a voice from the book. It said, "Hello, Tom. Welcome to my world. I am the king of this castle. And you are my prisoner. You can never leave. You will stay here forever and read my stories. You are selfish, too. You took my book without asking. Now you will pay the price." + +Tom screamed. He wished he had never touched the book. He wished he had been nicer to Jenny. He wished he could go home. But it was too late. The book had him. And it would not let him go. +Lily and Max were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make food with pots and pans and spoons. They also liked to make a mess with water and soap and bubbles. They filled the sink with water and poured some soap in it. Then they stirred it with a big spoon and made lots of bubbles. + +"Look, Max, I made a cake!" Lily said, holding a pan with some bubbles on it. "Do you want some?" + +"Yes, please!" Max said, taking the pan. He pretended to eat the bubbles and made a funny face. "Mmm, delicious!" + +They laughed and played some more. They did not see that the water was spilling over the sink and onto the floor. They did not hear their mom coming into the kitchen. + +Mom saw the water and the bubbles and the mess. She was not happy. She shouted at Lily and Max. "What are you doing? You made a big mess! You could slip and hurt yourself! And you could break the dishes! They are fragile!" + +Lily and Max were scared. They dropped the pans and spoons and ran to their mom. They hugged her and said they were sorry. They did not mean to make a mess. They just wanted to have fun. + +Mom sighed and hugged them back. She was not angry anymore. She knew they were just kids. She said they had to help her clean up. She said they had to be careful with the water and the dishes. She said they had to reveal a secret. + +Lily and Max were curious. They asked what the secret was. Mom smiled and said she had a surprise for them. She said she had something in the oven. She said it was a real cake. She said it was for their dad's birthday. + +Lily and Max were excited. They loved cake. They loved their dad. They wanted to see the surprise. They helped mom clean up the kitchen. They dried the dishes and put them away. They wiped the water and the bubbles from the floor. They emptied the sink and pulled the plug. They watched the water go down the drain. + +Mom said they did a good job. She said they could go to the oven and see the surprise. She said they had to be careful and not touch the oven. She said it was hot. She opened the oven and took out the cake. It was big and round and brown. It had white frosting and sprinkles and candles on it. It smelled good. + +Lily and Max clapped their hands and cheered. They said the cake was beautiful. They said they wanted to eat it. They said they wanted to give it to their dad. They said they loved their mom. + +Mom said she loved them too. She said they had to wait for their dad to come home. She said they had to hide the cake and not reveal it. She said it was a secret. She said it was a surprise. She said it was a happy day. +Anna and Ben were playing on the sand. They liked to make castles and dig holes. They saw some shells and stones that were shiny and pretty. They wanted to take them home. + +"Look, Anna, I found a big shell!" Ben said. He ran to the water to wash it. + +"Be careful, Ben, the water is deep and cold!" Anna said. She followed him. + +They went too far and did not see the big wave. The wave came and took them away. They were scared and wet. They cried for help. + +"Anna! Ben!" Mom and Dad heard them and ran to the water. They saw their children floating on the wave. They jumped in and swam to them. They grabbed them and hugged them. + +"Mom! Dad!" Anna and Ben were happy to see them. They hugged them back. + +Mom and Dad carried them back to the shore. They wrapped them in towels and checked them. They were safe and warm. + +"Thank you, Mom and Dad, for saving us!" Anna and Ben said. + +"You're welcome, my loves, but you have to be more careful next time. The water can be dangerous. You have to stay close to us and not go too far," Mom and Dad said. + +"We're sorry, Mom and Dad, we won't do it again," Anna and Ben said. + +They learned their lesson and returned to their sand castles. They played happily and safely. They still took some shells and stones home, but only the ones they found on the shore. +Ben and Mia were playing with their toys in the living room. Ben had a big dinosaur with sharp spikes on its back. Mia had a little doll with a pink dress and long hair. They liked to make their toys talk to each other. + +"Hello, I am Rex, the king of the dinosaurs," Ben said in a deep voice, making his dinosaur stomp around. "Who are you?" + +"I am Lily, the princess of the dolls," Mia said in a high voice, making her doll wave. "You are very big and scary." + +"Roar! I am not scary, I am friendly," Ben said, making his dinosaur smile. "Do you want to be my friend?" + +"Yes, I want to be your friend," Mia said, making her doll nod. "You have nice spikes." + +"Thank you, you have nice hair," Ben said, making his dinosaur touch her doll's hair gently. + +They were having fun, until Ben felt a tickle in his nose. He tried to hold it in, but he couldn't. He sneezed loudly, and his dinosaur flew out of his hand. It landed on Mia's doll, and its spikes tore her dress and hair. + +"Ow! Ow! Ow!" Mia cried, picking up her doll. "You hurt my doll! You broke her!" + +"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to," Ben said, feeling bad. "It was an accident. I sneezed." + +"I don't care, you sneezed on purpose," Mia said, angry. "You are mean and rude. I don't want to be your friend anymore." + +She ran away with her doll, leaving Ben alone with his dinosaur. He felt sad and lonely. He wished he didn't sneeze. He wished he could say sorry. He wished he could be her friend again. But it was too late. He had ruined everything. +Ben and Mia were going on a trip with Mom and Dad. They packed their bags and got in the car. They were very excited to see new things and have fun. + +"Are we there yet?" Ben asked. + +"Soon, honey. We have to drive for a while," Mom said. + +They drove and drove until they saw a big sign that said "Hotel". Dad parked the car and they got out. They took their bags and went inside. The hotel was very nice and had many rooms. + +"Here is your key. Your room is number 12," the lady at the desk said. + +"Thank you," Dad said. He gave the key to Mom and they walked to the elevator. They pushed the button and waited. + +"Look, Mia, there are numbers on the wall. Can you count them?" Ben said. + +Mia nodded. She liked to count. "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve!" she said. + +The elevator stopped and the door opened. They got out and looked for their room. They found it and opened the door. The room was big and had two beds, a TV, a table, and a window. + +"Wow, this is nice!" Ben said. + +"Can we watch TV?" Mia asked. + +"Maybe later. First, we have to unpack and rest a bit. We have a long day tomorrow," Mom said. + +They put their bags on the bed and started to unpack. Ben took out his favorite toy, a blue car. He put it on the table and smiled. He loved his car. He played with it for a while, making vroom vroom noises. + +Mia took out her favorite toy, a pink doll. She put it on the bed and hugged it. She loved her doll. She talked to it for a while, making baby noises. + +Mom and Dad took out their clothes and put them in the closet. They were tired from the drive and wanted to relax. They sat on the bed and turned on the TV. They watched a show for a while, laughing and cuddling. + +After some time, Mom said, "OK, kids, it's time for dinner. Let's go downstairs and see what they have." + +"Yay, I'm hungry!" Ben said. + +"Me too!" Mia said. + +They put on their shoes and coats and got ready to go. Mom checked the room and made sure they had everything. + +"Ben, do you have your car?" she asked. + +Ben looked at the table and saw his car. He ran and grabbed it. He put it in his pocket and said, "Yes, Mom, I have it." + +"Mia, do you have your doll?" she asked. + +Mia looked at the bed and saw her doll. She ran and grabbed it. She put it in her arms and said, "Yes, Mom, I have it." + +"OK, then, let's go," Mom said. She took the key and locked the door. They walked to the elevator and pushed the button. They waited. + +"Mom, can we have pizza for dinner?" Ben asked. + +"Maybe, honey. We'll see what they have," Mom said. + +"Mom, can we have ice cream for dessert?" Mia asked. + +"Maybe, sweetie. We'll see what they have," Mom said. + +The elevator came and the door opened. They got in and pushed the button. The elevator started to move. + +"Mom, can we go to the park tomorrow?" Ben asked. + +"Maybe, son. We'll see what we can do," Mom said. + +"Mom, can we go to the zoo tomorrow?" Mia asked. + +"Maybe, daughter. We'll see what we can do," Mom said. + +The elevator stopped and the door opened. They got out and walked to the lobby. They saw the lady at the desk and smiled. + +"Hello, how are you enjoying your stay?" the lady asked. + +"We're having a great time, thank you," Dad said. + +"Are you going to the restaurant?" the lady asked. + +"Yes, we are. We're hungry," Mom said. + +"Well, enjoy your meal. And don't forget your key," the lady said. + +"Thank you. We won't forget," Dad said. He took the key from Mom and put it in his pocket. + +They walked to the restaurant and looked at the menu. They saw many things they liked. They chose pizza, salad, chicken, fries, and juice. They ate and talked and laughed. They had a good time. + +After they finished, they asked for the bill. The waiter brought it and Dad paid. He gave him a tip and said, "Thank you. The food was delicious." + +"You're welcome. Come again," the waiter said. + +They got up and put on their coats. They walked to the lobby and +Lily was sad. She had no friends to play with. She liked to look at the birds and the flowers, but they did not talk to her. She wished she had a nice kitten to cuddle and love. + +One day, she saw a big box in the park. She ran to it and opened it. Inside, there was a fluffy white kitten. It looked at her with big blue eyes and meowed. Lily was happy. She picked up the kitten and hugged it. "Hello, little kitten. You are so cute. Do you want to be my friend?" she asked. + +The kitten nodded and licked her cheek. Lily smiled. She put the kitten in her backpack and ran home. She wanted to show her mom and dad her new friend. She thought they would be happy too. + +But when she got home, she saw a big sign on the door. It said: "Gone to grandma's. Back in two days. Love, mom and dad." Lily was sad again. She had no one to share her joy with. She opened the door and went inside. She took the kitten out of her backpack and put it on the couch. "Don't worry, little kitten. We will have fun together. We can watch TV and play games and eat snacks," she said. + +The kitten meowed and snuggled with her. Lily turned on the TV and looked for a nice show. She found one about animals. She liked animals. She watched the show and fed the kitten some cheese and crackers. She did not know that cheese and crackers were bad for kittens. + +Soon, the kitten started to feel sick. It coughed and wheezed and vomited. Lily was scared. She did not know what to do. She tried to call her mom and dad, but they did not answer. She tried to call the vet, but she did not know the number. She tried to find some medicine, but she did not know where it was. She cried and hugged the kitten. "Please, don't die, little kitten. Please, stay with me. You are my only friend," she said. + +But the kitten did not get better. It got worse. It stopped breathing and moving. It was dead. Lily was alone. She had no friends. She had no kitten. She had no happiness. She wished she had never found the box in the park. She wished she had never opened it. She wished the kitten had never appeared. +Tom and Lily were friends who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big net on the grass. It was shiny and colorful and had many holes. They thought it was attractive and wanted to touch it. + +"Look, Lily, a net!" Tom said. "Let's go and see it." + +"OK, Tom, but be careful. Maybe it belongs to someone," Lily said. + +They ran to the net and picked it up. It was soft and light and made a funny sound when they shook it. They laughed and threw it in the air. They did not see the man who was hiding behind a tree. He was angry and mean and wanted to catch them. + +He waited until Tom and Lily were under the net. Then he ran out and threw the net over them. They were trapped and scared and could not get out. They cried and shouted for help. + +"Ha ha ha, I got you, you little brats!" the man said. "You should not wander and touch things that are not yours. Now you will pay for it. I will take you to my house and make you work for me." + +He grabbed the net and dragged Tom and Lily away. They did not see their parents or their friends again. They were very sad and wished they had never seen the net. +Lily was a careless girl. She liked to play and run and jump, but she did not like to listen and learn. One day, she was in the classroom with her teacher and her friends. The teacher was talking about animals and showing pictures. Lily was bored. She did not want to look at the pictures. She wanted to play with her toys. + +She saw a ball on the floor. She thought it was her ball. She got up from her chair and ran to the ball. She did not ask the teacher. She did not look at her friends. She was careless. She grabbed the ball and threw it in the air. She laughed and clapped her hands. + +But the ball was not her ball. It was the teacher's ball. The teacher used it to point at the pictures. The ball flew across the room and hit the window. The window broke. The glass fell on the floor. The teacher and the friends gasped. They were scared and angry. + +"Lily!" the teacher shouted. "What did you do? You were careless! You broke the window! You could have hurt someone! You have to stand in the corner and think about what you did!" + +Lily felt bad. She knew she was wrong. She dropped the ball and walked to the corner. She stood there and looked at the floor. She did not play. She did not laugh. She did not clap. She was sorry. She wished she had listened and learned. She wished she had not been careless. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, they find a big book with many pictures. The book is about the universe. The universe is all the stars and planets and space. + +"Look, Anna, this is the sun. It is very bright and hot. It gives us light and warmth," Ben says, pointing to a yellow circle. + +"And this is the moon. It is not so bright, but it is beautiful. It changes shape and sometimes we can see it at night," Anna says, pointing to a white crescent. + +They turn the pages and see more pictures of the universe. They see colorful rings, red spots, blue clouds, and shiny dots. They are amazed and curious. + +"What are these, Ben?" Anna asks, pointing to a page with many small balls. + +"Those are asteroids. They are rocks that fly in space. Sometimes they hit each other and make loud noises," Ben explains. + +"Wow, that sounds scary. And what are these, Anna?" Ben asks, pointing to another page with a big spiral. + +"Those are galaxies. They are groups of stars that make shapes. Our sun and our planet are in a galaxy called the Milky Way. It looks like a big swirl," Anna explains. + +"That is so cool. I wish we could see them better. Maybe we can use a telescope," Ben says. + +"A telescope is a tool that makes things look bigger. My dad has one. He lets me use it sometimes. Do you want to try it?" Anna asks. + +"Yes, please. That would be fun. You are very polite, Anna. Thank you for sharing your book and your telescope with me," Ben says. + +"You are welcome, Ben. You are very polite, too. Thank you for playing with me and telling me about the universe," Anna says. + +They smile and hug. Then they go to Anna's house and use the telescope. They see the sun, the moon, and some stars. They laugh and wonder what else is in the universe. They are happy and smart friends. +Tim and Sam are friends. They like to play with cars and trucks. They have many cars and trucks in their room. Some are big and some are small. Some are red and some are blue. + +One day, Tim and Sam want to play outside. They take their cars and trucks with them. They find a hill and a road. They say, "Let's race our cars and trucks down the hill and see who is faster!" + +They put their cars and trucks on the hill and push them. The cars and trucks roll down the hill and zoom on the road. Tim and Sam cheer and laugh. They have fun. + +But then, one of Sam's trucks stops. It does not move. Sam looks at his truck. He sees that it has no fuel. He says, "Oh no, my truck has no fuel. It cannot go anymore." + +Tim hears Sam. He feels sad for Sam. He has a thoughtful idea. He says, "Sam, I have some fuel for your truck. I can give you some. Then your truck can go again." + +He takes his fuel can and pours some fuel into Sam's truck. Sam smiles and says, "Thank you, Tim. You are a good friend. You are very thoughtful." + +Tim smiles and says, "You are welcome, Sam. You are a good friend too. Let's play some more." + +They put their cars and trucks on the hill again and push them. The cars and trucks roll down the hill and zoom on the road. Tim and Sam cheer and laugh. They have more fun. +Ben and Lily were playing in the kitchen. They wanted to make a cake for Mom. They found some flour, eggs, sugar, and butter. They also saw a jar of red powder. It had a picture of a pepper on it. + +"What is this?" Ben asked, holding the jar. + +"I don't know. Maybe it is for the cake," Lily said. + +They opened the jar and smelled it. It made them sneeze. + +"Let's try it," Ben said. He took a pinch of the powder and put it in his mouth. + +"Ow! Ow! Ow!" Ben cried. "It is spicy! It hurts my tongue!" + +He ran to the sink and drank some water. Lily laughed at him. + +"That was silly, Ben. You should not eat things you don't know. You should test them first," she said. + +"How do you test them?" Ben asked. + +Lily took a small spoon and scooped some of the powder. She put it on a plate and added some water. She stirred it with her finger. + +"See? It makes a red sauce. Maybe it is for pizza or pasta, not for cake," she said. + +She touched the sauce with her finger and licked it. She made a face. + +"Yuck! It is still spicy! But not as spicy as before. Maybe we can use a little bit for the cake. It will make it more fun," she said. + +She poured some of the sauce into the cake batter and mixed it well. She put the batter in a pan and put it in the oven. She set the timer for 20 minutes. + +"Let's clean up while we wait," she said. + +They washed the dishes and wiped the table. They also put the jar of red powder back in the cupboard. + +"Mom will be so happy when she sees our cake," Ben said. + +They heard the timer beep. They put on oven mitts and took out the cake. It smelled good. It was brown and fluffy. + +"Wow! It looks great!" Lily said. + +They put the cake on a rack and let it cool. They found some icing and sprinkles and decorated the cake. They wrote "Happy Mom" on it with icing. + +They heard the door open. Mom came in. She saw the cake and smiled. + +"Wow! What a lovely surprise! Did you make this for me?" she asked. + +"Yes, Mom! We made it all by ourselves!" Ben and Lily said. + +They hugged Mom and gave her a slice of cake. Mom took a bite and chewed. She felt a tingling sensation in her mouth. She reached for a glass of water. + +"Mmm, this is very good. But it is also very spicy. What did you put in it?" she asked. + +Ben and Lily looked at each other and giggled. + +"We put some red powder. It has a pepper on it. We tested it first. It is for pizza or pasta, but we thought it would make the cake more fun," they said. + +Mom laughed and hugged them. + +"You are very creative and brave, my sweeties. But next time, please ask me before you use something you don't know. Some things are not meant for cakes. But I love you and your cake anyway. Thank you for making my day," she said. + +They ate the cake together and drank lots of water. They agreed that it was a very fun and spicy cake. +Tom liked to play in the park with his ball. He liked to kick it and catch it and throw it. He did not like to share it with other kids. He wanted the ball all for himself. + +One day, he saw a bird in a tree. The bird was singing and flapping its wings. Tom wanted to play with the bird. He thought the bird would like his ball. He threw the ball at the bird, but he was careless. He threw it too hard and too high. + +The ball hit the bird and made it fall. The bird was hurt and scared. It could not fly or sing. It lay on the ground and made a sad noise. Tom felt bad. He did not mean to hurt the bird. He ran to the bird and picked it up. He wanted to rescue the bird. + +He took the bird to his mom. His mom was angry and sad. She told him he was careless and mean. She said he should not throw things at animals. She said he should be gentle and kind. She said he should say sorry to the bird. + +Tom said sorry to the bird. He stroked its feathers and gave it some water. He hoped the bird would be okay. He learned his lesson. He decided to share his ball with other kids. He did not want to hurt anyone again. He wanted to be a good friend to the bird and to everyone. +Lily liked to help her mom in the kitchen. She liked to stir the soup with a big spoon. She liked to smell the carrots and the chicken. She liked to taste a little bit when mom said it was okay. + +One day, mom had a different plan. She said, "Lily, today we are going to make a network." Lily did not know what a network was. She asked, "What is a network, mom?" Mom smiled and said, "A network is when we talk to other people who are far away. We use a phone or a computer to see them and hear them. They are our friends or family." + +Lily was curious. She wanted to see a network. Mom took her to the living room, where there was a big screen. She turned it on and said, "Look, Lily, this is our network. We can see grandma and grandpa, and auntie and uncle, and cousin Sam. They are all in different places, but we can talk to them and tell them we love them." + +Lily was amazed. She saw the faces of her family on the screen. She heard their voices and their laughter. She waved and said, "Hi, grandma! Hi, grandpa! Hi, auntie! Hi, uncle! Hi, Sam!" They all waved back and said, "Hi, Lily! We miss you! You are so big and smart!" + +Lily felt happy. She liked the network. She liked to see her family. She said, "Mom, can we make a network every day?" Mom hugged her and said, "Yes, Lily, we can. We can make a network whenever we want. It is a good way to stay in touch and share our love." Lily nodded and said, "I love you, mom. And I love our network." +Anna and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big tree with many leaves. They wanted to climb the tree and see what was up there. + +They held hands and walked to the tree. They saw a hole in the trunk. They looked inside and saw a squirrel. The squirrel was brown and fluffy. It had a long tail and big eyes. It was eating a nut. + +"Hello, squirrel!" Anna said. "Can we be your friends?" + +The squirrel looked at Anna and Ben. It did not like them. It wanted to be alone. It was scared of them. It made a loud noise and showed its teeth. + +"Go away, go away!" the squirrel yelled. "This is my tree, my hole, my nut! You are not welcome here!" + +Anna and Ben were surprised and sad. They did not want to make the squirrel angry. They thought the squirrel was cute and original. They wanted to share and play with it. + +"Sorry, squirrel," Ben said. "We did not mean to bother you. We just wanted to say hi and see your home. You have a very nice tree, hole and nut." + +The squirrel did not listen. It kept yelling and hissing. It threw the nut at Anna and Ben. It hit Ben on the head. It hurt. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Ben cried. "That was not nice, squirrel! That was mean and rude!" + +Anna hugged Ben and rubbed his head. She was angry at the squirrel. She did not like it anymore. She wanted to leave. + +"Come on, Ben," Anna said. "Let's go away from the squirrel. It is not a good friend. It is a bad and selfish squirrel. We can find other animals to play with. Maybe a bird, or a dog, or a bunny. They will be nicer and more fun." + +Anna and Ben left the tree and the squirrel. They did not look back. They ran and jumped and slid. They had fun in the park. They forgot about the squirrel. The squirrel stayed in the tree, in the hole, with the nut. It was alone and quiet. It was not happy. +Tom and Jen are brother and sister. They like to play in the garden with their dog, Spot. Spot is a good dog. He is obedient. He does what Tom and Jen say. + +One day, Tom and Jen want to go to the park. They ask their mom if they can take Spot with them. Mom says yes, but they have to be careful. She says there are many cars and people in the park. She says they have to hold Spot's leash and not let him run away. + +Tom and Jen promise to be careful. They put Spot's leash on and go to the park. They see a big slide, a swing, and a sandbox. They want to try them all. They take turns holding Spot's leash while the other one plays. + +But then, Jen sees a squirrel. She likes squirrels. She wants to chase it. She forgets about Spot. She lets go of his leash and runs after the squirrel. Spot sees the squirrel too. He wants to chase it. He runs after Jen. + +Tom sees Jen and Spot running away. He is scared. He shouts, "Jen, Spot, come back! You have to be careful!" But Jen and Spot do not hear him. They are too far away. + +Tom runs after them. He hopes they will be well. He hopes they will not get lost or hurt. He hopes Mom will not be angry. He wishes Jen and Spot were obedient. He wishes they did not chase the squirrel. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys. Lily has a drum. She likes to make loud noises with it. Ben does not have a drum. He wants to play with Lily's drum. + +"Can I borrow your drum, Lily?" Ben asks. + +"No, it is my drum. You can play with something else," Lily says. + +"But I like your drum. It is useful. I can make music with it," Ben says. + +"I don't want to share. It is mine. Go away," Lily says. + +Ben is sad and angry. He wants to play with the drum. He thinks Lily is not nice. He waits until Lily is not looking. Then he takes the drum and runs away. + +Lily sees Ben with her drum. She is very mad. She runs after him. She shouts, "Give me back my drum, Ben! You are a bad friend!" + +Ben and Lily fight over the drum. They pull and push. The drum falls to the ground. It breaks. It makes a loud noise. + +Ben and Lily stop fighting. They look at the broken drum. They feel sorry. They say, "Oh no, what have we done?" + +They hug and say, "I'm sorry, Lily. I'm sorry, Ben. We should have shared. We are good friends." + +They go to Lily's mom. They tell her what happened. She is not happy. She says, "You should not take things that are not yours, Ben. You should not be mean, Lily. You should be kind and respectful." + +She helps them fix the drum. She says, "Now you can play with the drum together. But you have to take turns. And you have to be careful. And you have to say please and thank you." + +Ben and Lily nod. They say, "Yes, mom. We will do that." + +They play with the drum. They make music. They have fun. They are happy. +Lily and Tom were playing with their blocks. They liked to build houses and towers and cars with the blocks. They had many colors and shapes of blocks. + +But Max, the big dog, did not like the blocks. He thought they were toys for him. He wanted to chew them and shake them and throw them. He did not care if Lily and Tom were sad. + +One day, Max saw a big house that Lily and Tom had built. It had a roof and windows and a door. It was very pretty. But Max did not think so. He thought it was ugly. He ran to the house and jumped on it. He destroyed the house with his paws and teeth. He made a big mess. + +Lily and Tom saw what Max had done. They were very angry and sad. They cried and shouted at Max. They said, "Bad dog! Bad dog! You destroyed our house! Go away!" + +Max did not understand why they were mad. He thought he was having fun. He wagged his tail and licked their faces. He wanted to play more. But Lily and Tom did not want to play with him. They picked up their blocks and went to another room. They left Max alone with the broken house. +Ben and Lily liked to play hockey with their sticks and ball in the park. They were very good at hitting the ball and running fast. They had a lot of fun together. + +One day, a big boy came to the park and saw them playing. He wanted to play too, but he did not ask nicely. He said, "Give me your sticks and ball. I want to play hockey. You are too small and silly to play." + +Ben and Lily did not like the big boy. He was mean and rude. They said, "No, this is our game. You cannot have our sticks and ball. Go away and find your own game." + +The big boy got angry and pushed Ben to the ground. He grabbed his stick and ball and ran away. He laughed and said, "Ha ha, I have your hockey now. You are too weak and stupid to stop me." + +Ben was hurt and sad. He started to weep. He said, "He took our hockey. He is a bad boy. I want our hockey back." + +Lily was scared and angry. She tried to help Ben. She said, "Don't weep, Ben. He is a bad boy, but we are brave and smart. We can get our hockey back. Come on, let's go after him." + +They got up and ran after the big boy. But he was too fast and far. They could not catch him. They saw him throw their stick and ball into a pond. He said, "Bye bye, hockey. You are no good for me. You are wet and dirty now." + +Ben and Lily stopped and looked at the pond. They saw their stick and ball sinking in the water. They could not reach them. They felt very sad and angry. They said, "He is a very bad boy. He ruined our hockey. He is not brilliant. He is mean and dumb." + +They wept and hugged each other. They had no hockey and no fun. They wished they had never met the big boy. They wished they had their hockey back. They wished they could play again. But they could not. The end. +Tim and Sam were best friends. They liked to play with their toys and run in the park. One day, they saw a big box near the trash can. It was brown and dirty and had holes in it. + +"Look, Sam, a box!" Tim said. "Maybe there is something inside." + +"Let's see, Tim," Sam said. "Maybe we can find a treasure." + +They ran to the box and opened it. Inside, they saw a small, furry animal. It had long ears, a pink nose and a fluffy tail. It was a bunny! + +"Wow, a bunny!" Tim said. "It is so cute. Can we keep it, Sam?" + +"I don't know, Tim," Sam said. "It looks sick and sad. Maybe it needs a home." + +They looked at the bunny. It was very thin and had patches of fur missing. It had red eyes and a runny nose. It was an ugly bunny. + +But Tim and Sam did not care. They loved the bunny. They decided to carry it to their house and give it some food and water. They hoped their mom would let them keep it. + +They walked to their house, holding the box with the bunny. They did not see the big dog that was following them. It was a mean dog. It liked to chase and bite things. It saw the box and smelled the bunny. It wanted the bunny. + +The dog ran after Tim and Sam. It barked and growled. It was very fast and loud. + +"Help, Sam, help!" Tim said. "The dog is coming!" + +"Run, Tim, run!" Sam said. "We have to save the bunny!" + +They ran as fast as they could. They reached their house and opened the door. They ran inside and slammed the door. The dog hit the door and whimpered. It could not get in. + +Tim and Sam were safe. They put the box on the floor and looked at the bunny. It was still alive. It looked at them and twitched its nose. It seemed to say thank you. + +"Mom, mom, look what we found!" Tim said. "Can we keep it, please?" + +They showed their mom the bunny. She was surprised and worried. She saw how ugly and sick the bunny was. She saw how much Tim and Sam loved it. + +She smiled and hugged them. She said yes. She said they could keep the bunny. But they had to take it to the vet and make it better. They had to take good care of it. + +Tim and Sam were happy. They thanked their mom and kissed the bunny. They named it Lucky. They carried it to the car and went to the vet. They hoped Lucky would be okay. + +They did not know that Lucky was a very special bunny. It had a secret. It was not a normal bunny. It was a magic bunny. And it was going to change their lives. But that is another story. +Tom is a big child. He likes to play with his toys and his dog. He has many toys, but his favorite is a red car. He can make the car go fast and make noises. + +One day, Tom's mom says, "Tom, we have to go to the store. Do you want to come with me?" Tom nods. He likes to go to the store with his mom. He can see many things and people. He can also help his mom carry the bags. + +Tom and his mom go to the car. Tom puts his red car in his pocket. He wants to take it with him. He sits in his seat and buckles his belt. His mom drives the car to the store. + +At the store, Tom and his mom get a cart. Tom sits in the cart and holds his red car. His mom puts things in the cart. Tom looks around and sees many colors and shapes. He sees a child who is smaller than him. The child has a blue car. The child sees Tom and his red car. The child smiles and says, "Hi, I like your car. Can I see it?" + +Tom smiles and nods. He likes to make friends. He gives his red car to the child. The child gives his blue car to Tom. They look at each other's cars and make noises. They have fun. Tom's mom says, "Tom, you are very nice. You can share your toys. Do you want to keep the blue car?" Tom nods. He likes the blue car. He says, "Thank you, mom. Thank you, friend." The child says, "Thank you, too. You are a good friend." They hug and say goodbye. Tom and his mom go home. Tom is happy. He has a new car and a new friend. +Anna and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big slide. They want to go on it. + +"Me first!" Anna says. She runs to the slide. + +"No, me first!" Ben says. He runs after her. + +They get to the slide at the same time. They both want to climb up the ladder. + +"Move, Anna!" Ben says. He pushes her. + +"Stop, Ben!" Anna says. She pushes him back. + +They start to fight. They push and pull and shout. + +A lady sees them. She is not happy. She walks to them. + +"Hey, you two!" she says. "What are you doing? Why are you fighting?" + +Anna and Ben stop. They look at the lady. They are scared. + +"Sorry, lady," Anna says. + +"Sorry, lady," Ben says. + +The lady kneels down. She looks at them. + +"You should not fight," she says. "You should share and be nice. Do you understand?" + +Anna and Ben nod. They feel bad. + +"Good," the lady says. "Now, why don't you take turns on the slide? One at a time, okay?" + +Anna and Ben nod again. They smile. + +"Okay," Anna says. + +"Okay," Ben says. + +They hug the lady. She hugs them back. + +She sees a little dog. It is on a leash. It is brown and fluffy. It is adorable. + +"Look, a dog!" Anna says. + +"Can we pet it?" Ben says. + +The lady nods. She holds the leash. She brings the dog to them. + +"This is Coco," she says. "He is very friendly. You can pet him gently." + +Anna and Ben pet Coco. Coco licks their faces. They giggle. + +They like Coco. They like the lady. They forget about the slide. + +They are happy. They are friends. +Lily loved to imagine. She liked to pretend she was a princess, a pirate, a doctor, or anything else she could think of. Sometimes she used her toys, sometimes she used her clothes, and sometimes she used things from the kitchen. + +One day, she found an avocado in the fridge. She had never seen one before. It was green and bumpy on the outside, and soft and creamy on the inside. She wondered what it was. She decided to imagine it was a dragon egg. She took it to her room and put it in a nest of pillows. She pretended to be a dragon mother, guarding her egg from danger. + +She said to the avocado, "Don't worry, my little egg. I will keep you safe and warm. Soon you will hatch and we will fly together in the sky." + +She was so busy imagining, she did not hear her mom calling her for lunch. She did not notice the avocado was getting squishy and brown. She did not see her brother sneaking into her room. + +He saw the avocado and thought it was a snack. He picked it up and took a bite. He did not like it. He made a face and spit it out. He threw the avocado on the floor. It splattered everywhere. + +Lily heard the noise and turned around. She saw her brother and the messy avocado. She was very angry. She screamed, "That's my dragon egg! You ruined it! Go away!" + +Her mom heard the scream and came to see what was wrong. She saw Lily, her brother, and the messy avocado. She was very surprised. She said, "What is going on here? Why did you take the avocado from the fridge? And why did you throw it on the floor?" + +Lily and her brother tried to explain, but they both talked at the same time. They blamed each other for the mess. Mom did not understand. She said, "I don't care who started it. You both need to clean up this mess. And no more playing with food. Food is for eating, not for imagining." +Ben and Lily were playing with their toy cars in the living room. They liked to make noises and pretend they were racing. They had a big track with ramps and loops that their dad had made for them. + +Suddenly, they heard a knock on the door. They ran to see who it was. It was their grandma, who had come to visit them. She had a big smile and a bag of cookies. + +"Hello, my darlings!" she said. "I'm so happy to see you!" + +"Hi, grandma!" Ben and Lily said. They hugged her and took her hand. They wanted to show her their toy cars and track. + +"Wow, this is amazing!" grandma said. "You have such a fun game!" + +"Can you play with us, grandma?" Lily asked. + +"Of course, I can!" grandma said. "But first, let me put my bag and coat away." + +She followed mom to the kitchen, while Ben and Lily waited for her in the living room. They were very alert and excited. They wanted to share their game with grandma. + +Soon, grandma came back. She sat on the couch and watched Ben and Lily play. They took turns to push their cars on the track. They cheered when their cars made a loop or a jump. They laughed when their cars crashed or fell off. + +"Look, grandma, I'm going to win!" Ben said. He pushed his red car hard and fast. + +"Look, grandma, I'm going to catch up!" Lily said. She pushed her blue car harder and faster. + +They both reached the end of the track at the same time. Their cars arrived at the finish line together. + +"Wow, you both did it!" grandma said. "You both had success!" + +Ben and Lily smiled. They were happy and proud. They hugged each other and grandma. + +"Can we play again, grandma?" they asked. + +"Sure, we can!" grandma said. "But first, let's have some cookies!" + +They all went to the kitchen and enjoyed the cookies. They talked and laughed and had a good time. They loved grandma and grandma loved them. They were a happy family. +Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play in their room. They have many toys and books and a big lamp. The lamp is colorful. It has red, blue, yellow and green lights. + +One day, Tom and Lily want to measure the lamp. They want to know how tall it is. They get a ruler and a chair. Tom climbs on the chair and holds the ruler. Lily stands on the floor and looks at the ruler. + +"Tom, be careful!" Lily says. "The lamp is hot. And the chair is wobbly." + +"I'm fine," Tom says. "The lamp is not hot. And the chair is not wobbly. I can measure the lamp." + +But Tom is wrong. The lamp is hot. And the chair is wobbly. The lamp burns Tom's hand. And the chair falls over. Tom and the lamp crash to the floor. The lamp breaks. The lights go out. Tom and Lily are scared. + +"Mom! Dad!" they cry. "Help us!" + +Mom and Dad hear the noise. They run to the room. They see Tom and Lily and the broken lamp. They are angry and worried. + +"Tom, Lily, what did you do?" Mom asks. "Why did you break the lamp?" + +"We wanted to measure the lamp," Tom says. "We wanted to know how tall it is." + +"You don't need to measure the lamp," Dad says. "You need to be careful and listen to each other. The lamp is not a toy. It is a lamp. It is hot and fragile. And you need to be safe and stable. You could have hurt yourselves." + +"We're sorry, Mom and Dad," Tom and Lily say. "We didn't mean to break the lamp. We didn't know it was hot and fragile. We didn't listen to each other. We were not careful and safe and stable." + +Mom and Dad hug Tom and Lily. They are glad they are not hurt. They are not angry anymore. They are just sad. + +"We're sorry, too," Mom and Dad say. "We're sorry you broke the lamp. We know you liked the lamp. It was colorful and bright. It made your room happy. But now it is gone." + +Tom and Lily are sad, too. They miss the lamp. They wish they could fix it. But they can't. They can only learn from their mistake. + +"Maybe we can get a new lamp," Tom says. + +"Maybe we can get a better lamp," Lily says. + +"Maybe we can get a lamp that we can measure," Tom says. + +"Maybe we can get a lamp that we can share," Lily says. + +Tom and Lily smile at each other. They are still twins. They still like to play in their room. They still have many toys and books. And they still have each other. +Ben and Mia are playing in the park. They like to run and jump and slide. They see a big bush with red flowers. They run to the bush and smell the flowers. + +"Wow, they smell good!" Mia says. + +"Yes, they do!" Ben agrees. + +They hear a loud noise. It is a dog. The dog is big and black and angry. It runs to the bush and barks at Ben and Mia. + +"Ruff! Ruff! Ruff!" the dog says. + +Ben and Mia are scared. They want to run away, but the dog is too fast. They hide behind the bush and hope the dog will go away. + +"Go away, dog!" Ben whispers. + +"Shh, Ben, be quiet!" Mia whispers back. + +The dog smells the bush. It does not like the smell of the flowers. It makes a face and sneezes. + +"Achoo! Achoo! Achoo!" the dog says. + +The dog thinks the bush is smelly. It does not want to stay near the bush. It runs away to find something else to chase. + +Ben and Mia peek from behind the bush. They see the dog is gone. They are happy and relieved. + +"Yay, the dog is gone!" Mia says. + +"Thank you, bush, for saving us!" Ben says. + +They hug the bush and smile. They decide to play somewhere else, away from the dog. They are still friends with the bush. +Lila and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big crane near the road. The crane is lifting boxes and putting them on a truck. + +"Wow, look at the crane!" Lila says. "It is so big and strong!" + +"I want to see it closer!" Ben says. He runs towards the road. + +"Ben, wait!" Lila shouts. "The road is dangerous! There are cars and bikes and buses!" + +But Ben does not listen. He is too curious. He crosses the road without looking. A car is coming fast. It honks its horn. Ring! Ring! + +Lila is scared. She thinks Ben will get hurt. She runs after him. She grabs his hand and pulls him back. They fall on the grass. + +"Ben, are you okay?" Lila asks. + +"Yes, I am okay. Thank you, Lila." Ben says. He is sorry. He knows he was silly. + +"You are smart, Lila. You saved me." Ben says. + +"You are smart, too, Ben. But you have to be careful." Lila says. "The crane is fun to watch, but the road is not." + +They hug each other. They are happy. They are friends. They go back to the park and play with their toys. They still watch the crane, but from a safe distance. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play in the park with their mom and dad. They see many things in the park: trees, flowers, birds, dogs, and people. + +One day, they notice something new in the park. It is a big, round, shiny thing. It has many colors on it. It looks like a ball, but it is not a ball. It is a balloon. + +Anna and Ben want to touch the balloon. They run to it, but it is too high. They jump, but they cannot reach it. They are impatient. They want the balloon now. + +They ask their mom and dad to help them. Mom and dad smile. They lift Anna and Ben up. Anna and Ben grab the balloon. They are happy. They thank their mom and dad. + +They hold the balloon and look at it. They see their faces on it. They see the park on it. They see the sky on it. They see the world on it. They are amazed. They hug the balloon. They hug each other. They hug their mom and dad. They love the balloon. They love the park. They love the world. +Ben and Sam love to watch soccer with their dad. They go to the big stadium where many people cheer and clap. Ben and Sam wear red shirts and hats, like their dad and their favorite team. + +One day, their team is playing very well. They score many goals and the other team is sad. Ben and Sam are happy and shout "Go, go, go!" with their dad. They want their team to win the big cup. + +But then, something bad happens. The sky turns dark and it starts to rain. The rain is very hard and cold. It makes the grass wet and slippery. The people in the stadium get wet too. Some of them leave and go home. Ben and Sam do not like the rain. They shiver and hug their dad. + +"Dad, can we leave too?" Ben asks. "The rain is hard and we are cold." + +Dad looks at his watch and the score. There are only a few minutes left in the game. Their team is still winning, but not by much. The other team is trying hard to score. + +"Not yet, boys," Dad says. "We have to stay and support our team. They need us to cheer for them. Maybe the rain will stop soon." + +Ben and Sam nod, but they are not happy. They hope the rain will stop and their team will win. They hope they can leave the stadium soon and go home. They hope they can have some hot chocolate and cookies. They hope they can watch soccer on TV, where it is warm and dry. +Lily and Ben were playing outside when it started to rain. They ran to the porch and looked at the sky. It was dark and cloudy. + +"Why does it rain?" Lily asked Ben. + +Ben tried to explain. "Rain is water that falls from the sky. The sky has clouds. Clouds are like big pillows of air. Sometimes they have water inside. When they have too much water, they let it go. That is rain." + +Lily nodded. She thought that was difficult to understand. She wondered how clouds could have water inside. She wanted to touch a cloud. + +"Can we go back outside?" she asked Ben. + +Ben shook his head. "No, we will get wet and cold. We need an umbrella. An umbrella is like a big hat that keeps the rain away. Do you have one?" + +Lily shook her head. She did not have an umbrella. She only had a hat. A hat was not big enough to keep the rain away. + +"Maybe we can make one," Ben said. He looked around the porch. He saw a big paper and some crayons. He had an idea. + +"Let's draw an umbrella," he said. He took the paper and the crayons. He drew a big circle and some lines. He colored the circle with different colors. He gave the paper to Lily. + +"Here, this is your umbrella," he said. + +Lily smiled. She liked the paper umbrella. She held it over her head. She pretended it was a real umbrella. + +"Thank you, Ben," she said. "You are a good friend." + +They played with the paper umbrella until the rain stopped. Then they went back outside and looked for rainbows. +One day, a brown dog saw a basket near a big house. The basket had a red cloth on it and smelled good. The dog was hungry and curious, so he ran to the basket and tried to pull the cloth. But the cloth was tied to a stick, and when the dog pulled it, the stick fell and made a loud noise. + +The noise woke up a girl who lived in the house. She came out and saw the dog and the basket. She was not happy. She said, "Hey, you bad dog! That is my picnic basket! Go away, or I will call my dad!" + +The dog was scared and sorry. He did not want to make the girl angry. He dropped the cloth and ran away. But he did not see a hole in the ground, and he fell into it. He was stuck and could not get out. He barked and cried for help. + +The girl heard the dog's barks and cries. She felt sorry for him. She ran to the hole and saw the dog. She said, "Oh, you poor dog! You are trapped in the hole! Don't worry, I will help you!" + +She found a rope and tied it to a tree. She lowered the rope into the hole and said, "Grab the rope, dog! I will pull you out!" The dog grabbed the rope with his teeth and the girl pulled him out. He was happy and grateful. He licked the girl's face and wagged his tail. + +The girl smiled and said, "You are a good dog, after all. I am sorry I yelled at you. Do you want to share my picnic with me?" The dog nodded and barked. The girl took the basket and the cloth and said, "Come on, let's go to the park. We can be friends!" The dog followed her and they walked to the park. They had a nice picnic and played together. They were both happy. +Lily was an adventurous girl who loved to swim. She had a blue cap with a fish on it that she always wore in the water. One day, she went to the lake with her mom and dad. They brought a picnic basket and a big towel. + +"Can I swim now, mom?" Lily asked. + +"Yes, but stay close to us, okay?" mom said. + +Lily put on her cap and ran into the water. She splashed and kicked and pretended to be a fish. She saw some ducks and frogs and waved at them. She was having so much fun. + +Then, she felt something tug on her cap. She turned around and saw a big turtle. The turtle had her cap in its mouth and was pulling it away. + +"Hey, that's mine!" Lily shouted. "Give it back!" + +The turtle looked at her and shook its head. It liked the cap. It thought it was a toy. + +Lily was not happy. She swam after the turtle and tried to get her cap back. She reached out her hand and grabbed the cap. The turtle did not let go. They had a tug-of-war. + +"Help, dad!" Lily called. "A turtle took my cap!" + +Dad heard her and swam over. He saw the turtle and the cap. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, Lily. I'll help you." + +He gently took the cap from the turtle and gave it back to Lily. He said, "Thank you, Mr. Turtle, for playing with Lily. But this is her cap. Do you want to play with something else?" + +The turtle nodded and dad gave him a rubber duck. The turtle was happy. He took the duck and swam away. + +Lily hugged her dad and said, "Thank you, dad. You're the best." + +Dad hugged her back and said, "You're welcome, Lily. You're very brave and adventurous. But next time, be careful of the turtles." + +Lily nodded and said, "Okay, dad. I love you." + +They swam back to mom and had a picnic. Lily told mom about the turtle and the cap. Mom laughed and said, "What a silly turtle. I'm glad you got your cap back, Lily. You're a great swimmer." + +Lily smiled and said, "Thank you, mom. I love you too." + +They ate and played and had a wonderful day at the lake. Lily never forgot her adventure with the turtle and the cap. She always wore it when she swam. +Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park with their bikes. One day, they saw a big truck with a long hose. The truck said "Gas" on the side. + +"What is that?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know. Maybe it is a snake," Ben said. + +They went closer to the truck. They saw a man with a hat and a suit. He was holding the hose and putting it in a hole in the ground. + +"Hello, kids. Do you know what I am doing?" the man asked. + +"No. What are you doing?" Lily and Ben said. + +"I am filling up the gas tank for the park. Gas is a kind of air that makes things work. Like your bikes, or the swings, or the lights," the man said. + +"Wow, that is cool. Can we see the gas?" Lily asked. + +"Sorry, no. Gas is invisible. You can't see it, but you can feel it and smell it. It is very important, but also very dangerous. You should never touch it or play with it," the man said. + +"OK, we won't. Thank you for telling us," Ben said. + +The man smiled and waved. He finished his job and drove away. Lily and Ben went back to their bikes. + +"Did you believe him?" Lily asked. + +"Yes, I did. He seemed nice and smart. And I think I felt the gas. It was warm and funny," Ben said. + +"Me too. I think gas is amazing. But we have to be careful," Lily said. + +They nodded and rode their bikes. They had a lot of fun in the park. They learned something new and made a new friend. They were happy. +Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play together. One day, they wanted to go to the park, but their moms said they had to wait until after lunch. Lily and Ben were bored and impatient. They had a plan. + +"Let's sneak out and go to the park by ourselves," Lily whispered to Ben. "We are big and independent. We don't need our moms to tell us what to do." + +Ben nodded. He thought it was a good plan. They put on their shoes and coats and tiptoed to the door. They opened it quietly and ran outside. + +They felt happy and free as they ran to the park. They saw the swings, the slide, the sandbox and the merry-go-round. They decided to take turns on each one. + +Lily went first on the swing. She pushed herself high and laughed. Ben waited for his turn. He wanted to swing too. But then he saw a big dog running towards them. It barked loudly and showed its teeth. Lily was scared and jumped off the swing. She ran to Ben and hugged him. + +"Help! Help!" they cried. "Where are our moms?" + +The dog's owner came and called the dog back. He was sorry and said the dog was friendly, but just wanted to play. Lily and Ben did not believe him. They were still scared and wanted to go home. + +They ran back to their house and knocked on the door. Their moms opened it and saw their faces. They knew something was wrong. + +"What happened?" they asked. "Where did you go?" + +Lily and Ben told them the truth. They said they were sorry and that they had a bad plan. They learned their lesson. + +Their moms hugged them and said they were glad they were safe. They said they understood that they wanted to have fun, but they also had to listen and obey. They said they were not ready to go to the park by themselves. They needed their moms to protect them and guide them. + +Lily and Ben agreed. They said they loved their moms and thanked them. They promised to be good and wait until after lunch. They learned that being independent does not mean doing whatever they want, but doing what is right and responsible. +Sara and Tom were twins. They liked to play outside in the sun. But one day, it was too hot. The heat made them feel tired and thirsty. They wanted to drink some water, but they had none. + +"Mom, can we have some water?" Sara asked. + +"Sorry, sweeties, we have no water left. The water bill is too high. We have to use cheap water from the well. But the well is far away. You have to wait until I go there," Mom said. + +Sara and Tom did not like the cheap water from the well. It was dirty and smelly. They wanted clean and cold water from the tap. They felt sad and angry. + +"That's not fair! We need water now! We are hot and dry!" Tom shouted. + +He threw his toy car on the ground. It broke into pieces. He started to cry. + +Sara saw Tom cry. She felt sorry for him. She hugged him and said, "Don't cry, Tom. It's okay. We can share my toy doll. She is nice and soft. Maybe she can make you feel better." + +Tom stopped crying. He smiled and said, "Thank you, Sara. You are a good sister. I love you." + +They played with the toy doll together. They forgot about the heat and the water. They were happy. +Sara liked to play with her mom's jewelry. She liked the shiny rings and necklaces and earrings. She wanted to be famous like the people on TV who wore jewelry. + +One day, when her mom was not home, Sara found a pair of scissors in the drawer. She had an idea. She could cut the jewelry and make new shapes. She thought that would make her more famous. + +She took the scissors and the jewelry and went to her room. She started to cut the chains and the wires and the beads. She made a mess on the floor. She did not know that cutting jewelry was bad. + +Soon, her mom came home. She heard a noise in Sara's room. She went to see what Sara was doing. She saw the scissors and the jewelry and the mess. She was very angry. + +"Sara, what have you done?" she asked. "You have ruined my jewelry! You have cut it into pieces! Why did you do that?" + +Sara looked at her mom. She felt sorry. She did not want to make her mom angry. She wanted to make her mom happy. + +"I wanted to be famous," she said. "I wanted to make new shapes with the jewelry. I thought you would like it." + +Her mom sighed. She hugged Sara. She was not angry anymore. She was sad. + +"Sara, you don't need to cut jewelry to be famous," she said. "You are already famous to me. You are my daughter and I love you. But you have to be careful with scissors. They are sharp and they can hurt you. And you have to respect other people's things. Jewelry is not a toy. It is something special that people wear or give as gifts. Do you understand?" + +Sara nodded. She understood. She said sorry to her mom. She helped her mom clean the mess. She learned a lesson. She did not cut jewelry anymore. She played with other things. She was happy. And she was famous to her mom. +Lily was a thoughtful girl who liked to help her mom. She saw a big jug of milk in the store and wanted to buy it for her mom. She asked her dad for some money and he gave her some. She said thank you and ran to the store. + +She got the jug of milk and paid the lady. She was very happy and proud. She carried the jug carefully and walked back to her dad. She wanted to surprise her mom with the milk. She thought her mom would be very happy and proud too. + +But on the way, she saw a big dog. The dog was barking and running towards her. Lily was scared and dropped the jug. The jug broke and the milk spilled all over the street. Lily started to cry. The dog ran away. Lily's dad came and hugged her. He said he was sorry and that it was not her fault. + +Lily felt very sad and sorry. She had wasted the money and the milk. She had no gift for her mom. She had broken the jug. She wished she had not bought the jug. She wished she had stayed with her dad. + +The moral of the story is: Sometimes, it is better to be safe than sorry. +Mia loved chocolate. She liked to eat it, smell it, and play with it. Sometimes, she would squeeze it in her hands and make shapes. She made a chocolate star, a chocolate heart, and a chocolate ball. + +One day, she saw a new chocolate in the shop. It was big and shiny and had a picture of a princess on it. Mia thought it was very attractive. She wanted to have it and squeeze it and eat it. She asked her mom to buy it for her. + +Her mom said yes, but only if Mia was good and did not make a mess. Mia agreed and took the chocolate home. She was very happy and excited. She opened the wrapper and saw the princess. She was pretty and had a crown and a dress. + +Mia wanted to squeeze the princess and make her a friend. But when she touched the chocolate, it was not soft and smooth. It was hard and crunchy. It made a loud noise and broke into pieces. Mia was shocked and sad. She did not like the noise and the broken princess. She started to cry. + +Her mom heard her cry and came to see what was wrong. She saw the chocolate and the pieces and understood. She hugged Mia and said it was okay. She said the chocolate was not for squeezing, but for eating. She said it had a surprise inside. She picked up a piece and showed Mia. Inside, there was a toy. It was a small princess that looked like the one on the chocolate. Mia stopped crying and smiled. She liked the toy. She said thank you to her mom and ate the chocolate. She played with the toy and made her a friend. She was happy again. +Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play in the garden. They saw some big yellow flowers that looked like the sun. They were sunflowers. Lily and Tom wanted to make sunflowers too. + +They found some seeds and some dirt. They dug a hole and put the seeds in. They covered them with dirt and watered them. They waited for the sunflowers to grow. + +"Will they grow fast?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know," Tom said. "Maybe we have to wait a long time." + +They came back every day to check on their seeds. They saw some green shoots poking out of the dirt. They were happy. They watered them some more and talked to them. + +"Hello, sunflowers," Lily said. "You are so pretty and bright." + +"Hello, sunflowers," Tom said. "You are so tall and strong." + +The sunflowers grew bigger and bigger. They had big yellow petals and brown centers. They looked like the sun. Lily and Tom smiled. + +"We made sunflowers!" Lily said. + +"We made sunflowers!" Tom said. + +They hugged each other and the sunflowers. They felt rich. They had sunflowers and they had each other. They were happy. +Tom and Lily were very happy. Today, they would go to the zoo with Mom and Dad. They liked to see the animals and learn their names. They packed their bags with snacks, water and hats. + +They got in the car and drove for a long time. They saw many cars, trucks and buses on the road. They sang songs and played games to pass the time. They asked Mom and Dad when they would arrive at the zoo. + +Soon, they saw a big sign that said "Zoo". They arrived at the zoo! They got out of the car and followed Mom and Dad to the gate. They showed their tickets to a man who wore a blue shirt. He was very polite and said "Welcome to the zoo! Have a nice day!" + +They entered the zoo and saw many animals. They saw lions, tigers, bears, monkeys, elephants, giraffes and more. They heard the animals make noises and watched them move and play. They learned new words and facts from the signs and the guides. + +They saw a big white bird with a long neck and legs. It was a swan. It swam in a pond with other swans. It looked very graceful and beautiful. Tom and Lily wanted to touch it, but Mom and Dad said "No, we have to be polite and not bother the animals. They need their space and peace." + +Tom and Lily nodded and agreed. They were polite and respectful to the animals and the people. They had a lot of fun and learned a lot at the zoo. They thanked Mom and Dad for taking them to the zoo. They said they wanted to come back again. Mom and Dad smiled and hugged them. They were very proud of Tom and Lily. +Lily and Ben were friends. They liked to play with toys and books. One day, they found a large sack in the park. It was full of balls and dolls and cars. Lily and Ben were happy. They wanted to share the sack. + +But then, a boy came. He was mean. He said, "This is my sack. Give it to me." He tried to take the sack from Lily and Ben. Lily and Ben said, "No, this is our sack. We found it first. Go away." They held the sack tight. + +The boy was angry. He pushed Lily and Ben. He pulled the sack. He shouted, "This is my name on the sack. See? It says Tom. I lost it yesterday. It is mine." He showed them a tag on the sack. It had the name Tom on it. + +Lily and Ben looked at the tag. They felt sorry. They did not know the sack had a name. They said, "We are sorry, Tom. We did not see your name. We thought the sack was for everyone. Here, you can have your sack back. We are sorry." + +Tom took the sack. He felt bad. He said, "I am sorry, too. I was rude. You can play with my sack, if you want. We can share. Do you want to be my friends?" He smiled. + +Lily and Ben smiled, too. They said, "Yes, we want to be your friends. Thank you for sharing. Sharing is good." They played with the sack together. They had fun. They learned to be kind and honest. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play at the park. They see a big slide. They want to go on the slide. + +"Let's go on the slide!" Tom says. He runs to the slide. He stands at the top. He looks down. He sees an ugly bug on the slide. He is scared. + +"Tom, what are you doing?" Mia asks. She runs to the slide. She stands next to Tom. She looks down. She sees the ugly bug too. She is not scared. + +"It's just a bug, Tom. It won't hurt you. Come on, let's slide!" Mia says. She pushes the bug away with her foot. She sits on the slide. She slides down. She laughs. + +"Are you coming, Tom?" Mia calls. She looks up. She sees Tom still standing at the top. He is still scared. + +"OK, Mia. I'll try." Tom says. He takes a deep breath. He sits on the slide. He slides down. He feels the wind in his hair. He smiles. + +"Yay, Tom! You did it!" Mia cheers. She hugs Tom. They are happy. They go on the slide again and again. They have fun. +Ben and Mia were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big red truck that could carry sand and rocks. They liked to fill the truck with sand and rocks and drive it around the yard. + +One day, they saw a big hole in the ground near the fence. They wondered what was in the hole. They had an urge to find out. They decided to fill the truck with sand and rocks and dump them in the hole. + +They drove the truck to the hole and started to dump the sand and rocks. They did not see the sign that said "Danger! Gas pipe!" They did not hear the hissing sound from the hole. They did not smell the bad gas. + +"Look, Ben, we are filling the hole!" Mia said. + +"Yes, Mia, we are!" Ben said. + +They were having fun. They did not notice the man who was running towards them. He was shouting and waving his arms. He was trying to stop them. + +But it was too late. The sand and rocks hit the gas pipe and made a spark. The gas caught fire and exploded. The truck and the twins flew in the air. The fence and the yard were on fire. The man was too late to save them. + +It was a bad ending. Ben and Mia should have listened to the sign. They should have been careful. They should not have been lazy. They should have asked before they played. They learned a hard lesson. But they did not learn it well. Because they were gone. +Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big black bird on a tree. It was a raven. The raven had a shiny thing in its beak. It was a ring. + +"Look, look, the raven has a ring!" Ben said. "I want it, I want it!" + +"No, Ben, that is not nice. The ring is not yours. Maybe it belongs to someone else. Maybe someone is looking for it," Lily said. + +But Ben did not listen. He ran to the tree and tried to climb it. He wanted to get the ring from the raven. The raven saw Ben and flew away. Ben fell from the tree and hurt his knee. He cried and cried. + +Lily ran to Ben and helped him. She said, "Ben, are you okay? I am sorry you hurt your knee. But you should not have tried to take the ring. That was wrong. The raven was only keeping it safe. Maybe the ring is very important to someone. Maybe it is a gift or a memory. You should not take things that are not yours. You should be kind and honest." + +Ben felt bad. He said, "Lily, you are right. I was wrong. I was greedy and mean. I am sorry. I will not do that again. I will be kind and honest. Thank you for helping me. You are a good friend." + +Lily smiled and hugged Ben. She said, "You are welcome, Ben. You are a good friend too. Come on, let's go and play. Maybe we can find something else to watch. Maybe we can see a butterfly or a squirrel or a rainbow." + +Ben and Lily went to play. They learned a lesson. They learned to be kind and honest and not to take things that are not theirs. They learned to watch and enjoy the beauty of nature. They were happy. +Sam and Mia liked to play with blocks. They had many blocks of different colors and shapes. They could build towers, houses, bridges and anything they wanted. + +One day, they decided to build an ancient castle. They used gray and brown blocks for the walls and towers. They used red and yellow blocks for the flags and windows. They used green and blue blocks for the grass and water. They worked hard and had fun. + +But then, their little brother Leo came into the room. He saw the blocks and wanted to play too. He grabbed some blocks and threw them in the air. He laughed and clapped his hands. + +"Leo, no!" Sam shouted. "You will break our castle!" + +"Leo, stop!" Mia cried. "You will make a mess!" + +But Leo did not listen. He ran to the castle and kicked it with his foot. The blocks fell down and scattered everywhere. The castle was ruined. + +Sam and Mia were very sad and angry. They had warned Leo, but he did not care. They glared at him and said, "Leo, you are very naughty! You are not our friend anymore!" + +Leo felt sorry. He saw the tears in Sam and Mia's eyes. He realized he had done something bad. He said, "I'm sorry, Sam and Mia. I just wanted to play. Please forgive me. Can we be friends again?" + +Sam and Mia looked at each other. They loved their brother, but they were still upset. They said, "Maybe, but you have to promise to be nice. And you have to help us rebuild our castle." + +Leo nodded. He said, "I promise. I will be nice. And I will help you rebuild your castle." + +They hugged and made up. They picked up the blocks and started to build again. They let Leo join them and showed him how to make an ancient castle. They played together and had fun. +Tom and Lily were twins. They liked to play outside in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt, pick flowers, and chase butterflies. But they did not like to clean their clothes. + +One day, their mom said, "Tom and Lily, it is time to clean your clothes. They are very dirty. Look at your pockets. They are full of dirt and stones and bugs. You have to empty them and wash them." + +Tom and Lily did not want to clean their clothes. They wanted to keep playing. They said, "No, mom, we do not want to clean our clothes. We like our pockets. They have our treasures. We do not want to lose them." + +Their mom said, "You can keep your treasures, but you have to clean your pockets. If you do not clean your pockets, they will get holes and rip. Then you will have no pockets and no treasures. Come on, it is not hard. I will help you." + +Tom and Lily thought about it. They did not want to have holes and rip in their pockets. They did not want to have no pockets and no treasures. They decided to listen to their mom. They went to the laundry room and emptied their pockets. They put their treasures in a box. They washed their clothes and hung them to dry. + +They felt good. They had clean clothes and still had their treasures. They looked at their box. They saw all the dirt and stones and bugs they had collected. They were proud of their pockets. They were happy. + +But then they saw their neighbor, Ben. Ben was playing outside in his garden. He had dirty clothes and dirty pockets. He had no box and no treasures. He looked at Tom and Lily's box. He saw all the dirt and stones and bugs they had. He was envious. He wanted to have pockets and treasures like them. He said, "Hey, Tom and Lily, can I have some of your treasures? They look cool. I have nothing in my pockets." + +Tom and Lily looked at Ben. They felt sorry for him. They said, "Sure, Ben, you can have some of our treasures. We have enough for everyone. You can also play with us in our garden. We can dig and pick and chase together. But you have to clean your clothes and your pockets first. It is good to be clean. And it is good to share." +Lily wanted to celebrate her birthday with her friends. She had a cake, balloons, and a big box of presents. She was very happy and excited. + +She opened the box and saw many nice things. A doll, a book, a hat, and a tie. A tie? Lily did not like ties. They were for boys and dads, not for girls and Lily. She did not want to wear a tie. She threw the tie away and said, "Yuck!" + +But the tie was not a normal tie. It was a trick tie. It had a spring inside and a button on the end. When Lily threw the tie, the button hit the wall and the spring made the tie jump back. It flew in the air and landed on Lily's face. It was sticky and wet and disgusting. + +Lily screamed and ran away. Her friends laughed and clapped. They knew it was a joke. They had put the tie in the box as a surprise. They wanted to make Lily laugh, not cry. + +They ran after Lily and said, "Sorry, sorry, it was a joke. Don't be mad. We love you. Happy birthday!" They hugged Lily and gave her a napkin to wipe her face. They also gave her another present, a real one. It was a necklace with a heart. Lily liked the necklace. She smiled and said, "Thank you, thank you. You are my best friends. Let's celebrate!" They ate the cake, played with the balloons, and had fun. Lily forgot about the tie and had a happy birthday. +Lily and Tom were playing hide and seek in the park. Lily was the seeker and Tom was the hider. Lily counted to ten and then looked for Tom. She saw a big bush with a feather sticking out of it. She thought Tom was hiding there. + +She ran to the bush and peeked behind it. But it was not Tom. It was a big, angry bird with sharp claws and a long beak. The bird did not like Lily peeking at it. It screeched and flew at Lily. It scratched her face and pulled her hair. Lily screamed and cried. + +Tom heard Lily's scream and came out of his hiding spot. He saw the bird attacking Lily. He was scared and did not know what to do. He wanted to help Lily, but he was too small and weak. He wished he had a stick or a stone to throw at the bird. + +The bird did not stop hurting Lily. It was not an ordinary bird. It was a mean and hungry bird. It wanted to eat Lily. It bit her neck and dragged her into the bush. Lily stopped screaming and crying. She was gone. + +Tom was alone and sad. He wished he had never played hide and seek. He wished he had never seen the feather. He wished Lily was still with him. He ran to find his mom and dad. He hoped they could save Lily. But it was too late. The end. +Ben and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to dig holes and make mud pies. They were very happy and very filthy. + +"Look at my big mud pie!" Ben said. "It has worms and stones and leaves in it!" + +"Mine is bigger and better!" Lily said. "It has flowers and feathers and shells in it!" + +They laughed and threw mud at each other. They did not see their mom coming. + +"Ben! Lily! What are you doing?" Mom said. She was not happy. She was angry. "You are covered in mud! You need to clean up right now!" + +Ben and Lily stopped laughing. They looked at each other and at their mom. They were scared. + +"Sorry, mom," they said. "We were just having fun." + +Mom sighed. She loved her children, but they made a lot of mess. + +"Fun is good, but mud is not," she said. "Come on, let's go inside. You need to take a bath and wash your clothes. And no more mud pies, please!" + +Ben and Lily nodded. They followed their mom inside. They did not like to clean, but they knew they had to. They hoped they could play in the garden again soon. But without the mud. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They saw a new girl sitting on a bench. She looked sad and lonely. + +"Let's go say hello to her," Lily said. "Maybe she wants to play with us." + +"Okay," Tom agreed. They walked over to the bench and smiled at the girl. + +"Hi, what's your name?" Lily asked. + +"Anna," the girl said in a small voice. + +"Hi, Anna. We are Lily and Tom. Do you want to play with us?" Tom asked. + +Anna looked up and nodded. She had a big bag with her. She opened it and took out a toy figure. It was a unicorn with a shiny horn and a rainbow mane. + +"This is my unicorn. Her name is Sparkle. She is my best friend," Anna said. + +"She is very pretty," Lily said. "Can we see her?" + +"Sure," Anna said. She handed Sparkle to Lily. Lily admired the toy and then gave it to Tom. Tom also looked at it and then gave it back to Anna. + +"Thank you for sharing your unicorn with us," Lily said. "Do you have any other toys?" + +Anna shook her head. "No, this is the only one. I just moved here with my mom. We don't have a lot of things." + +Lily and Tom felt sorry for Anna. They wanted to make her feel welcome and happy. + +"We have some toys too. Do you want to play with them?" Lily asked. + +"Really? That would be nice," Anna said. + +Lily and Tom ran to their backpacks and brought out some of their toys. They had a ball, a truck, a doll, and a puzzle. They showed them to Anna and invited her to join them. + +"Wow, you have so many toys. They are all fun," Anna said. + +"You can play with any of them. We like to share," Tom said. + +They played together for a long time. They threw the ball, drove the truck, dressed the doll, and solved the puzzle. They laughed and talked and had a good time. + +Anna felt happy and grateful. She had made two new friends. She hugged Sparkle and said, "Thank you, Lily and Tom. You are very kind and generous. You made me feel welcome and glad." + +Lily and Tom hugged her back and said, "You're welcome, Anna. We are glad to have you as our friend. You are very sweet and polite. You made us feel happy too." + +They smiled at each other and continued to play. They learned that sharing and caring are important values. They also learned that friendship can make any day brighter. +Jack and Jill were walking down the street. Jack looked at some of the things around him. He noticed a big book on the ground. + +Jack: "What's that?" + +Jill: "That's a dictionary. It's like a big book with all sorts of words in it." + +Jack was very curious about the dictionary and wanted to take a closer look. Jill picked it up and handed it to him. Jack began to flip through the pages, reading the words that were available. + +He looked over at Jill and asked, "Can we eat the dictionary?" + +Jill laughed and said, "No, of course not. We can't eat a dictionary. It's not food, it's just a book." + +Jack knew she was right and put the dictionary down on the ground and they kept walking. +Once upon a time, there was a clumsy girl called Amy. She was very clumsy and often tripped over her own feet. + +One day, Amy decided to go to the park with her family. They arrived at the park and noticed a big, long stair. Amy looked up at it and got a little nervous. She had never seen a stair so big before! + +Her dad saw how scared she was and asked her, “What’s wrong, Amy?â€. + +“I don’t know if I can go up the stairs, they look so big!†replied Amy. + +Her dad smiled and said, “No problem. We’ll go up together, one step at a time. I’ll help you.†+ +With her dad’s help, Amy was able to go up the big stair without falling. She was relieved! + +Amy noticed that even if she was clumsy, she could still do incredible things with some help. She smiled and said, “Thank you, Dad!†+John was helping his daddy build a stable. When the stable was finished, John was so excited he ran to open the door. But, the door was shut tight! He tried to open it, but it would not budge. + +John's daddy saw that John was struggling and asked, "Do you need help?" +John shook his head and replied, "No, I can do this myself!" He pushed on the door with all his might, but it still wouldn't open. + +John's daddy knelt down beside him and said, "Let's try together". Together, they pushed the door and slowly it opened. John was so relieved! He thanked his daddy and felt embarrassed that he hadn't been able to open the door on his own. + +John stepped into the stable, eager to explore. He smiled, feeling proud of this accomplishment. With his Daddy by his side, he knew he would never be embarrassed again. +One day, Sammy and his mommy went out for a walk. As they walked, they saw a big bright sign. "What does that say?" asked Sammy, pointing with his little finger. His mommy smiled and replied, "It's a sign welcoming us to the park. Let's go and explore it!". + +Sammy was so excited and ran to the swings. He jumped in and started to swing. His mommy watched with a smile in her eye. + +Suddenly, Sammy noticed a few children sitting around a tree. He ran to them and they all greeted each other enthusiastically. Sammy asked them if they wanted to play tag. They all cheered and started to run around the tree. + +Sammy was so happy and waved goodbye to the other children with a big smile on his face. His mommy took hold of his hand with a smile in her eye, and both of them happily walked home. +Once upon a time, there was a dragon who lived in a very dry cave. He had a special shield that he loved very much. It glimmered in the sun and made him feel safe. + +One day, the dragon decided to go on an adventure. He was so excited that he hopped down the mountain and into the open air. He flew over rivers, forests and farms for hours. + +Finally, he reached a lake. The water was cool and the wind was strong. The dragon flapped his wings and flew in circles around the lake. He was so excited that he almost forgot about his trusty shield. + +At last, he remembered and put on the shield. It took him to new heights of excitement and joy as he soared around the lake. His shield shone in the sunlight and made him feel powerful and brave. + +The dragon had a wonderful time flying around the lake with his shield. It was the perfect day before he flew back to his dry cave, ready for the next adventure! +Once upon a time, there was a small boy who went to the beach with his Mommy. The beach was full of things to explore, but he was a bit shy and timid. + +He and his Mommy walked past the beach tide and made their way over to some rocks at the edge of the sea. As he watched the tide, he noticed something strange. A family of crabs were having a party - scattering and dancing around the rocks. + +He looked up to his Mommy and asked excitedly, "Can I join them?". His Mommy smiled and said, "Of course, just be careful and don’t go too far". + +The little boy smiled and ran over to join the crabs. He laughed and laughed as he used his hands to scatter and move like the crabs were doing. It was such a fun game! + +The little boy and the crabs spent the whole day playing - until the tide started to come in. It was time to go home, so the little boy said goodbye to all his new friends and waved goodbye to them as he left. +Once upon a time there was a black cat. It didn't like to sit still very much. + +One day, the cat saw a way to escape. So, it jumped through a window. It felt so free! + +But then, the cat started to fall. It felt scared and tried to find something to hold onto, but it couldn't reach. The cat kept falling until it landed on the ground. + +The cat was relieved to find out that it hadn't been hurt. It was a lucky escape! + +The cat was happy that it had found a way to escape and it vowed never to try it again. From that day onward, the cat was content to stay inside and not try to escape. +Once there was a little boy named John. He loved ice-cream and could never seem to have enough of it. One day he went to the store to buy some. He looked around but all the ice-cream was too expensive. He sighed as he put all the ice-cream back. + +"Why is it so expensive?" He muttered. + +Just then, he noticed an old man and overheard him say: "Maybe if you close your eyes and make a wish, the ice-cream will get cheaper." + +John thought this was a great idea. He quickly closed his eyes and wished with all his might. But when he opened his eyes, nothing had changed. The ice-cream was still very expensive. + +The old man said, "John, wishes don't work that way. You have to work for the things you want. And even then, you might not always get what you want". + +John felt sad but he knew the man was right. He thanked the man for his advice and left the store. + +Moral: Hard work is necessary to get the things you want in life. Wishes won't always make them come true. +One day a little girl was wandering in the woods. She was so delighted with the beauty of nature around her. She noticed all the trees, the plants and the animals, and all the delicious smells. + +At one point, she saw a shelter in the forest. It was a big, strong tree. She walked closer and noticed it had a door! She opened the door and saw a cozy bed with blankets to keep her warm. + +The next day the little girl stretched her legs and decided to wander further away from the shelter. She walked until it seemed very distant. She passed trees, grass, and streams. She tasted wild berries, mushrooms, and nuts. She felt so free and happy to be outside! + +Finally, when nightfall came, she decided it was time to go back to her shelter. She found her way back, and was happy to be surrounded by the warm, comforting bed and blankets. She was very glad to be safe in her little shelter. +Janie enjoyed playing in the chamber. Each day she'd enter, her eyes sparkled as she took in what it held. + +"Today I'll find something special!" she exclaimed, as a regular promise to herself + +One day she ventured deeper in, and after a few moments found something remarkable. It was a chest, clutched tightly shut with a padlock. + +"It must contain something special," Janie thought. + +Janie tried to open the chest, but no matter how hard she tried the padlock did not give. + +"Maybe I can open it tomorrow," Janie promised. + +But the next day Janie forgot about the chest. + +Then one day, after several months, Janie remembered her promise to investigate the chest. She pulled out a small key from her pocket, and it opened the padlock. + +When the chest opened, she was amazed to find special surprises inside! There were toys, sweets, and even a small lamb. + +Janie was overjoyed and for the rest of her visit regularly promised herself she'd come back to the chamber. +Once upon a time, there was an old woman named Nan. She had a very nosy neighbour named Tom who was always nosy and would try to peek into Nan's windows. This made Nan very angry! + +One day, Nan was walking down the street with her cane, when Tom came over. Tom wanted to ask Nan a lot of questions. But Nan just wanted to go home. + +So Nan insisted she needed to go home. But Tom kept asking her questions. He just wouldn't stop! + +Nan was getting very frustrated, so she hit Tom with her cane and yelled, "Enough already! I need to go home now!" + +Tom was shocked and ran away, never to be nosy again. Nan was relieved and went happily home. The End. +Once upon a time, there were two best friends named Floppy and Hop. They were playing together in the park when they heard a loud noise. Floppy wanted to find out where it was coming from, so they both looked around. Eventually, they saw an ambulance speeding toward the hospital. + +Hop asked Floppy, "What do you think that noise was?" + +Floppy responded, "I think it might be an ambulance going to the hospital." + +Hop asked, "Why would it be going so fast?" + +"Maybe someone is in trouble," Floppy said. + +Hop then asked, "Do you think we should follow it?" + +This time, Floppy didn't know what to say. So, they stood there and watched the ambulance drive away. Then, Hop smiled and said, "Today, we learned an important lesson. We must always be kind and caring, because you never know when you might need to demand help." + +Then, they gave each other a high five and ran back to the park, ready to continue their playtime. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl. Her name was Lily. She was only three years old. + +One day, Lily was walking in her garden. She saw a bright green chair. She was very curious. She wanted to explore it. + +So, she carefully walked to the chair and gently poked it. Suddenly, she heard a voice. + +"Lily, don't poke the chair!", said her mom. + +Lily was very scared. She apologised to her mom and promised to never poke the chair again. + +From that day on, Lily always remembered not to poke the green chair. The end. +Once upon a time, there was a little boy. His name was Jack. He loved to run and play with his friends at the park. + +One day, Jack got a new zip on his shirt. He hopped around and showed it to everyone. All his friends giggled and said it looked really clean. + +"I'm so proud of my new zip!" said Jack. + +They all laughed, and then Jack asked them, "What do I do with this zip?" + +One of his friends said, "You can use it to zip up your shirt!" + +Jack was so excited and zipped up his shirt. He felt cozy and warm. + +Then his friend said, "Now that you're all warm and comfy, it's time to rest." + +Jack rested in the sunshine for a few moments and then he was ready for another day of playing and fun. +Mia was walking on the beach and saw some mud. She thought it was so cool that she wanted to touch it. She ran over and kneeled down to feel it. She heard her mom's voice telling her not to get dirty.

It was, in fact, a tiny shrimp. + +"Goodness me!" exclaimed Sarah. She was so excited!

She heard a strange noise and suddenly she started to panic. She could see big, dark storm clouds gathering in the sky. + +The wind suddenly started to pick up and the rain began to pour down. Sarah was now soaked and very, very scared. + +Sarah ran as fast as she could but she was too late. She'd forgotten that she was in the park and the weather could change quickly! She felt so uncomfortable and scared. Suddenly, she realized why she had felt so nervous earlier. The little shrimp had been her warning of the impending storm. +Once there was a little girl called Mary. She was three years old and loved music.

She practised for a long time, but she struggled to play the piano properly. + +Mary started to question if she would ever learn how to play the piano. She wanted to be able to make beautiful music, just like her mummy. After a few days, her mummy showed her how to practice correctly. + +Mary was so happy!

Dad said he was going to rest. + +John asked, "Why rest at noon? What is the point?" +Dad replied, "It is important to take a break sometimes to make sure I am not too tired. I will rest for a bit and then continue working." + +John then suggested, "Maybe I can help too. Can I join you?" Dad thought for a minute and said, "No, not today. I like doing things on my own."

He would talk about his dreams and stories. Jane however would often say that George's stories were stupid and she would never listen. + +One day, George's dad gave him some advice. He told George, 'if you want people to listen to you, then you must listen to them first. No one likes to listen to someone who just talks and doesn't listen!' + +George thought carefully about these words and the next day when he spoke with Jane, he asked her about her dreams. Jane was pleased that George was interested in her dreams and they started talking more. + +The moral of the story is that if you want to be listened to, you must listen to others first.

They said to the black bird, “You should fly up too, it's much safer.†But the black bird was scared - he had never flown before! + +He thought and thought, and finally decided he would stay put. He fluffed out his feathers and stood tall, determined not to fly. Then the storm came, and it was loud and wild. But the black bird stood firmly in his spot, feeling very brave. + +The storm passed, and soon it became quiet again. The other birds came back, and they were all impressed. They said to the black bird, “You were so brave, you stood your ground! We are proud of you.†+ +The black bird was proud too - he had conquered his fear.

Every day he watched the bee fly around and raise beautiful flowers from the ground. + +One day, he decided that he was also going to raise flowers. He crawled towards a nearby flower bed and dug with his little feet, but he couldn't get enough dirt to make a flower bed. After trying for a while, he gave up and went back to lounging in the sun. + +The next day, he watched the bee tinkering around with the flower bed again and he decided to give it another try. He worked hard on getting the dirt where it needed to be, but he ended up getting too tired. He just couldn't do it, he was too lazy. + +The moral of the story is: Anything worthwhile takes effort.

He said, "What are you doing?" + +The birds stopped and one of them said, "We are picking up the waste to prevent it from polluting the forest." + +David then smiled and said, "Can I help?" + +The birds said, "Yes, that would be great! We would love to have some help." + +So David started to help the birds pick up the waste and put it in the bag. + +At the end of the day the birds said goodbye to David and flew away.

I found a yellow butterfly!" + +Mummy heard Elin from the kitchen and called back, "That's great, sweetheart! Put it on the porch for a little while, and then you can take it away for a walk!" + +So Elin carefully put the yellow butterfly on the porch.

I can help you reach safety". Rabbit and Bear understood that the man was trying to help them. He had come to save them. + +The man took Rabbit and Bear home and they were very relieved when they arrived. They knew that the man had protected them from danger and saved them from suffering. Rabbit and Bear were tired but relieved. +Once upon a time, there was a curious bird named Billy. He loved to fly and soar high in the sky. Every day he flew around looking for new and exciting places. + +One day, he saw something strange flying nearby- it was a thief! Billy was curious and decided to fly closer to get a better look. + +The thief noticed Billy and said, "Hey, little bird- why don't you come join me? Together we can soar across the sky!" + +Billy thought for a moment before replying, "I like to soar high in the sky, all alone. I don't need you to come with me." The thief said goodbye and flew away. + +From then on, Billy continued to soar high in the sky, by himself, curious about what else he could find. +One night, a little girl named Emily was in her bed and the sun was setting. She was feeling sleepy and very drowsy. Emily was having a very gentle dream, but then something woke her up. + +Her mommy opened the door and came in to the room. "It is time to wake up Emily," she said. + +Emily slowly opened her eyes. She did not want to wake up because she was having a nice dream. "I wish I could stay in my dream forever," she said in a soft voice. + +Mommy smiled and said, "It is ok Emily. Dreams don't last forever. It is time to get up and start a new day. You can always have nice dreams again." + +Emily slowly crawled out of bed, feeling a bit sad that she had to leave her gentle dream. But she knew that it was time to move on and make new dreams. With that thought in mind, Emily smiled. +Teddy had a box of matches. He wanted to make something delicious, so he decided to use them to make beef. He piled some beef items together and lit one of the matches. The match lit up and soon the beef began to cook. As it cooked, it smelt so attractive that Teddy's mouth began to water. He couldn't wait to try it! When the beef was ready, Teddy couldn't believe how delicious it was. He ate every last bit of it. From that day on, Teddy matched together beef every day to make a delicious and attractive treat. +Once upon a time there were two friends called Sally and Tina. They were very good friends and did everything together. + +One day they sat down to study so they could learn lots of things and be very smart. But Sally was getting bored and said to Tina, “Studying is too hard and boring, I don't want to do it.†+ +Tina replied, “It’s not easy, but if you work hard, you can be really successful. Don’t be stupid, it’s worth it.†+ +Sally thought about what her friend said, and so she decided to give studying one more try. She worked hard and soon she started understanding more and more. She was so proud when she saw all her hard work begin to pay off. + +In the end, Sally was very happy and successful, and she thanked Tina for the good advice. +Once upon a time, there were three little bears. Big Bear was bossy and always wanted everything to go his way. Piggie was happy and loved to play. And Fluffy was so soft—he was made of velvet. + +Big Bear said to Piggie, “Today, let’s go and collect some flowers!†Piggie agreed and hopped off to adventure. + +But when the two got to the meadow, they were sad. All the flowers were dead! Big Bear thought and thought but couldn’t come up with an idea. Piggie wagged his tail and said, “Let’s go elsewhere and find something else to collect.†+ +Big Bear didn’t want to, but he was bossy so he said, “Fine, let’s go!†+ +The two went up the hill and in the woods. Suddenly, they saw something—it was Fluffy! He was collecting beautiful velvet leaves. Piggie and Big Bear were amazed. They decided to help Fluffy collect the velvet leaves and soon enough, they had a basketful. + +The three little bears were very happy. They placed their basket full of velvet leaves on the picnic blanket and snuggled in. + +Big Bear smiled and said, “Today was a good day. We collected something really special!†+Once upon a time, there was a little boy. His name was Tim. Tim wanted to make something nice for his family. He decided to paint a door. + +He got out his paint and brush. But Tim quickly realized he couldn't do it alone. He needed help. + +He went to his mom and said, "Mom, can you help me paint the door?" + +Mom smiled and said, "Of course I can, Timmy. Let's get to work!" + +So, Tim and his mom got to work. They painted the door in bright colors. When they were done, they stepped back to look at their work. + +"It looks fit!" exclaimed Tim happily. His mom smiled and said, "Yes it does, doesn't it? We did a great job." + +They both smiled at their work, proud of the door they had painted. +Once upon a time there was a brave little fox. He was furry and very adventurous. He loved exploring the woods around his home. + +One day, he found a special kind of spirit that lived in the trees and the plants. The fox wanted to make friends with the spirit so he decided to dare it to come and play. + +The fox said, "Spirit, come and play with me! I dare you!" + +But the spirit didn't come out. It stayed hidden in the shadows. The fox was so sad that his new friend wouldn't come out and play with him. + +He started to walk away, feeling disappointed. Then he heard a small voice calling his name. + +Surprised, the fox turned around and saw the spirit standing in the sunlight. + +The fox smiled and said, "Hi spirit. I'm so glad you decided to come out. I'm glad we can be friends." + +From then on, the fox and the spirit were the best of friends. + +The moral of this story is that it's okay to take risks sometimes, because even if we don't get the result we wanted, something good could still come out of it. +Mummy had a big surprise for her three year old daughter. She held up two very special items. + +"You have to choose," mummy said. +"I choose this one!" the three year old said, pointing to the bigger of the two. + +Mummy smiled. "It's a luxury car, speedy and fast. You can drive it around the garden." + +The three year old was so excited. She ran outside to see the car. It was shiny and sparkled in the sun. She climbed in, started it up and off she went around the garden like a speedy racecar. + +The three year old loved her new luxury car. She drove it around the garden for hours and hours. +Once upon a time, there was a small girl called Jane. Jane was only three years old. One day, she decided to open the door to her bedroom. When she opened the door, she saw a scary monster! She was so surprised and screamed. + +"What are you doing here?" Jane said to the monster. + +The monster replied in a gentle voice, "I am very lonely. Do you want to be my friend?" + +The monster looked so normal that even Jane wasn't scared anymore. So she said yes. + +From that day onwards, Jane and the monster were the best of friends. They played together every day, and Jane thought it was totally normal. The monster was now a part of the family. +Once upon a time there was a little yellow duck. And one day the duck decided to go on a parade. So the duck put on her finest dress and jumped out the door. She wanted to jump really high so she could be the very first in the parade! + +As the duck jumped down the street, she saw lots of animals marching in the parade. There was a big elephant, a fat pig and a lovely white horse. But as the duck got closer, she noticed that something wasn't quite right. + +The scene was filthy; the ground was filled with dirt and mud, and there was garbage everywhere. The duck was very shocked. + +"Oh, no!" she said. "This parade isn't very nice. We need to make it clean!" + +The duck then started to jump up and down, picking up the garbage and tidying up the mess. Soon, the parade was much better. Everyone was happy, and the duck was the hero of the day! +Once upon a time, there were two friends. Their names were Julie and Tim. They were discussing what they wanted to be when they grew up. + +Tim said "I want to be a carpenter! I can make cool cupboards and tables." + +Julie said "I would like to be a clothes designer. I could design wardrobe with lots of colours and patterns!" + +The friends smiled at each other and then went outside to play. As they played, they saw an old man who was carving a wooden chest. + +The old man looked up at the friends and said "Never give up on your dreams! Work hard at them, and you can achieve your goals." + +The friends thanked the old man for his wise words. They both agreed that it was important to stay focused on their goals and never give up. + +The moral of the story is: never give up on your dreams and you can achieve your goals! +Once upon a time there were two children named Isla and Jack. They were playing in the garden when Jack found an old wire. He asked Isla if she knew what it was and she said she didn't. She was curious what it was and thought it must have been something special. + +Jack had an idea. He said, "Let's melt it and see what happens!" +Isla looked nervous. She said, "I don't know if that's a good idea. We don't know what will happen!" +But Jack was determined. He lit a match, and the wire began to melt. + +When the wire was melted, Jack and Isla saw something wonderful. The wire had melted into a beautiful, shiny spoon. Jack said, "It looks like this wire was created to make this spoon. We made something useful without knowing it!" + +Isla smiled and said, "This is why we must think before we act. It's better to be prepared for what might happen than just taking a risk without knowing the outcome." + +The moral of the story is that it's important to think before you act. Just like Jack and Isla, taking risks without knowing the consequences can lead to a surprise ending - even if it's not as spicy as melted wire. +Max was so excited. His mom was going to take him to the store to buy a mop. He could hardly wait. + +Max and his mom arrived at the store and he began to look at all of the mops. He saw one that was brightly colored and had a handle that he could hold onto. "That's the one I want!" said Max. His mom looked at it and smiled. + +They took it to the checkout and then went home. Max was so eager to try his new mop so he filled a bucket with warm water and added some cleaning solution. He stirred it with the mop and it made nice sudsy bubbles. + +Max was doing a great job when he tripped and the bucket tipped over. All of the water spilled onto the floor, making a big mess. Max was very upset and his mom was angry at him. Max was too scared to say anything and all he could do was stare down at the mess. They had to get a new mop and clean up the floor. What a disappointing end to an excited day. +There was a grumpy bear and a happy frog, and one day the frog was feeling brave. He hopped into a bright red kayak, grabbed an oar, and started to paddle away. + +The bear saw him and began to roar. He said, "Where do you think you're going, frog?" + +The frog replied, "I'm going on an adventure! I want to see what's out there beyond the river." + +The bear said, "Well, be careful! It's a big world out there, and you don't want to get lost!" + +The frog smiled and waved, and said, "Bye bye, grumpy bear! I'll be back before you know it!" + +He paddled away, and the bear watched until the frog was out of sight. He knew it wasn't really a good idea for him to go, but he also knew that frogs have to have their adventures - and this one was probably going to be a great one! +Once upon a time there was a little girl called Molly. She was three years old and loved to explore. One day while she was playing in the garden she found a navy blue ribbon. Molly was so excited and immediately wanted to cut it. + +She found a pair of scissors and asked her Mummy, "Can I cut it?" + +Mummy replied, "Yes, of course you can. Just be careful not to cut yourself." + +Molly carefully cut the ribbon into two pieces. She took one piece and wrapped it around her head. She felt so special and looked in the mirror. + +Afterwards Molly went to the kitchen to have a snack. Her Mummy had made some delicious cupcakes and Molly couldn't wait to eat one. She was so pleased with her snack that she said, "Yum, so delicious!" + +Molly ran back outside to show her Mummy the navy ribbon which she had cut.

The king smiled at everyone he met and made people feel happy. One day, something bad happened to the kind king. He felt very hurt. + +The king didn't know how to make the hurt go away. He tried many things but nothing worked. So the king decided to take a long walk. As he walked, he noticed something wonderful. He saw a rising sun, trees blowing in the wind and a stream that splashed in the air. As he watched, the hurt started to go away. + +The sun became higher and the king stopped walking. He knew his long walk had come to an end. He looked up and smiled. Even though he was still hurt, the kind king was glad that the hurt was ending. + +The end. +Once there was an oak tree. Every day it would shine in the sun. It was strong and wise. One day a change came. The wind began to blow, and the sky grew dark. Suddenly the oak felt a heavy jolt and its leaves fell off. All the animals around the oak were scared, but they soon saw why the change had happened. A spoiled child was throwing rocks at the oak tree. The child laughed as the tree shook and shuddered. The animals could sense the tree's pain and grew angry. Suddenly a beam of light broke through the darkness and the rain stopped. The wind blew the clouds away, and the oak tree stayed standing, but with fewer leaves. The animals all cheered at the oak's resilience, and the spoiled child ran away and never came back. The oak tree had changed, but it was still strong and wise. +One day, Grandma took Tom to a large meadow. Grandma said, "Look, Tom! This is where I found a special red velvet when I was a child, just like you." + +Tom looked around, but all he saw were piles of leaves.

"This might be it!" she said. + +Tom bent down, and saw a large, red velvet in the grass. He was so excited, he yelled, "Look Grandma! I found one!" + +Grandma looked happy. She said, "Let's pick it up before the wind blows it away!" + +Tom and Grandma carefully picked up the red velvet and brought it home. When they got home, Grandma put the red velvet in the sun so it could dry. + +Months later, Grandma reached into a basket and pulled out the same red velvet Tom had found in the meadow. "Look Tom!" She said, "It's still as beautiful as before! Now it won't rot like the other leaves." + +Tom smiled, surprised that the red velvet had lasted so long. He said, "Grandma, thank you for taking me to the meadow so I could find this special velvet!" +One day, two children went to the beach with their mom. They were so excited! The beach was lovely and they could smell the saltwater in the air. + +When they got to the shore, they saw a dolphin swimming nearby. The kids ran up to the water and watched the dolphin swimming around. The dolphin was fast! + +One of the kids had an idea. The older brother said, "Let's go for a drive in the dolphin!" The kids laughed and their mother said, "No, you can't drive a dolphin!" + +The kids were disappointed, but they enjoyed the rest of their day at the beach. They watched the dolphins swim and play in the water. + +At the end of the day, the kids said goodbye to the dolphins and all headed home. Although, the kids still wished they had been able to drive the dolphin! +One morning, the sun sent its bright rays across the sky. Little Charlie was excited. He was going to visit his grandparents' house today. As he and his mother drove, Charlie looked out the window. He spotted a squirrel hopping across the street. + +"Look, mom!"

"That squirrel looks like it's in a hurry," she said. + +As the car pulled into Grandma's driveway, Charlie noticed something odd. The house looked strange. It was covered in tape. It even had pieces of tape over the windows! + +Charlie and his mom stepped out of the car. Suddenly, everything was quiet. Everything was still. It seemed like time had frozen. + +His mom said they needed to go inside. As they stepped into the house, Charlie noticed an old man sitting in a rocking chair so slowly, it was like he was sleeping. But he wasn't sleeping. He was sitting there, still as ever. + +Grandpa was under a magical spell. All of the tape had trapped him in time. + +"Oh no!" cried Charlie. He knew he had to help. He ran back out to the car and found a pair of scissors. He quickly snipped the tape off of the windows and the door. + +As soon as the last piece of tape was removed, Grandpa came back to life. He smiled +John and his mommy were at the park. +"Time to play a game!", said Mommy. +John was very excited. +He was competitive and wanted to win. + +They walked to the playground and went to the swings. +Mommy said, "Let's play a math game. Whoever counts to one hundred first wins." +John smiled and said, "I can do it!" + +They both began counting. +John had a great strategy. +He kept counting, but he paused and watched Mommy from the corner of his eye. +She was getting close! + +John was determined to win and raced ahead counting quickly. +Finally, he shouted, "One hundred!" + +Mommy laughed and clapped her hands. +"You won, John! You're so competitive." +John was very happy. He had won the game and he couldn't wait to play more math games. +Once upon a time, there were two friends called Max and Sarah who wanted to go for yummy ice cream.

They looked outside and saw a lot of traffic! + +Max frowned. "We can't cross now," he said, pointing at the traffic. + +Sarah nodded.

When it started to rain, the little one said, "Mama, I love the rain!" + +The mother replied, "Yes, my little one. Rain is important. High in the sky the rainclouds fill up and then they come down to help bring all the flowers and plants water. Then they have the food they need to grow." + +The little one looked up to the sky and smiled. The mother smiled too, happy that her little one learned the lesson of how important the rain is. +Once upon a time there was a big log in the forest.

When the sun started to set, the little mouse said: + +"This log has been so much fun, I recommend we come again tomorrow!" + +And so the little mouse and her friends returned to the big log every day to play.

You can eat it with a fork." + +John tried to lift the pie, but it was heavy. He couldn't pick it up. So, his mom helped him to put the pie on the table. He was so excited! He grabbed a fork and started to eat the pie. + +"Mmm," said John, "this pie is delicious!" +Once upon a time there was a big dress. It was beautiful with lots of colors and sparkles. + +A young girl named Daisy wanted to wear it, but her mom said it was too special. "It needs to be protected," mom said. + +Daisy was sad and asked, "Can I try it on, please?" + +Mom smiled and said, "Yes, but only if you promise to be careful with it." + +Daisy smiled and put on the dress. It was so big and she twirled around. She felt so proud and happy. + +Suddenly, Daisy heard a loud noise! She looked outside and saw a big storm coming. She quickly ran to her mom, who said, "Quick! We must protect the dress." + +The mom and daughter ran to the dress and put it away in the closet.

Her mommy saw her and said, "Don't worry, it'll heal up in no time". + +When the little girl woke up the next morning, the pain was gone and she could run and play again, just like before. She smiled, thinking back to when she ate the melon and how it felt to be so healed. +Alice was very excited. She had a special box with her. Inside was a pink toy that she wanted to repair. It was her favorite play thing, but it had broken. + +Alice opened the box and saw the pieces of the toy. She thought about how to put it back together. Then she saw a screw.

He flew so high and so fast, he was the fastest bird around. + +One day, Dave was talking to his friend, Tom. Tom said, "Dave, you're the fastest bird I know. But be careful - you should never fly too close to the sun." + +Dave laughed and said, "There's nothing to worry about! Speed is my only strength!" + +He flew higher and higher, feeling the warmth of the sun on his wings. He flew so close that he could feel the heat on his feathers and he felt like he could never stop. + +But unfortunately, Dave had gone too close and the speed of the sun's rays was too much for his wings. Dave's beautiful yellow wings wilted and he started to fall out of the sky. + +Dave tried to save himself, but it was too late. He hit the ground and the last thing he heard was his friend, Tom, shouting, "I told you not to fly too close to the sun!" +Once upon a time, there was a huge monster. He was called Clive and he was very, very hungry. He was walking through the woods when he smelled something yummy. + +Clive stopped and said to himself, “What’s that yummy smell? I want some!â€Then he saw a big tree with lots of juicy fruit on it. + +“Oh, wow!†he exclaimed. “I want some of that juicy fruit!†+ +But then a small voice said, “No, you can’t have any. That’s my fruit!†+ +Clive jumped back in surprise and saw a tiny fairy. She was tiny, but she was very brave. + +“What do you mean I can’t have the fruit?†he asked. + +The fairy said, “That fruit is mine and I insist that you don’t take it. I want to eat it all myself.†+ +“But I’m so, so hungry,†said Clive sadly. + +The fairy smiled. “Okay, if you promise to be a good monster, I’ll give you some juice instead. It’s huge and really yummy too.†+ +Clive smiled, “Hooray! That sounds great. Thank you!†+ +So +Marty was a little bunny. He was out in the meadow and he noticed some butterflies. He decided to race them. He had never raced before, but he was excited to try. He hopped as fast as he could and quickly caught up to the butterflies. Then he passed them, and he felt so proud. + +"You won!" said one of the butterflies. + +Suddenly, Marty heard a noise. It was coming from over by the bushes. He hopped over to investigate. He found a knife that was shining in the sun. It looked sharp and he was a bit scared of it. + +"Don't touch the knife," said the butterflies. "It's not very easy to hold." + +Marty was a bit disappointed. He wanted to touch the knife, but he knew it was not a good idea. He hopped away from the knife and back to the butterflies. They started racing again, and this time Marty won very easily. He was so happy, he hopped all the way home in celebration. +Once there was a cheerful little girl named Jane. Every day she would go for a walk in the park. One day when she was walking, she saw a stranger. She decided to introduce herself. + +The stranger listened to her and was very nice. He smiled and asked her questions. They talked and Jane shared her opinion about different things with him. The stranger seemed to think that Jane was a very smart girl. + +Sometime later, the stranger invited Jane to come visit him at his house. Feeling excited, Jane accepted the invitation. On the day of the visit, Jane got all dressed up and went to the stranger's house. But when Jane got there, the stranger's mood changed. He introduced her to a group of people and they were not very kind. + +Jane was scared and felt sad. She quickly said goodbye and ran away. From then on, she was very cautious of strangers and their opinions. +Lee was very patient. He knew that if he was patient and worked hard, he would win. +One day in the park, he found a mint under a tree. It was very exciting. He asked his mom, “Mommy, can I have the mint?†+ +His mom said, “If you are patient, you will win.†+ +Lee thought about this. He wanted the mint and he knew he could get it if he was patient. + +He waited for a few minutes and then he started digging in the dirt. Finally, he found the mint! + +He couldn’t believe it. He had won! He smiled and said to his mom, “Mommy, I did it! I won!†+ +His mom smiled and said, “Yes, you did! You were very patient.

She then stretched from side to side, up and down, and forward and back. + +She kept stretching and stretching, until she was dizzy from moving. She was feeling smart and strong, and so she said out loud "I want to be smart and strong every day, so I will always stretch my body". + +Just then, her mom came in to check on Molly. "What are you doing?" she asked. "I'm stretching to make my body smart and strong," Molly said. "Very clever!" replied her mom, "It looks like you have the right idea." + +Molly smiled, she knew she was doing the right thing. From then on, Molly began to stretch every day to keep her body and her mind smart and strong. +Once upon a time there was a boy. He wanted to go for a walk. He put on his shoes and started walking. + +He looked left and saw a park. It looked very neat with lots of trees and colourful flowers. He decided to go there. He walked and walked until he reached the park. + +When he got there, the park looked very dull. Everything was quiet and there were not many people around. He walked around the park and saw some birds, but they were sleeping too.
