She looked very serious and stern. + +"Excuse me, young man. Is that your ball?" she asked. + +"Yes, it is. Why?" the big boy said. + +"Are you sure? Because these children say it's theirs. And they have a car, a doll, a book and a generous heart to prove it," the lady said. + +The big boy looked at Ben and Mia and felt ashamed. He knew he was wrong. + +"I'm sorry. I lied. It's not my ball. I took it from them. Here, you can have it back," he said and gave the ball to Ben. + +"Thank you, miss. You are very kind and fair," Ben said. + +"You're welcome, children.

Lila asked. + +"I don't know," Ben said. "Let's find out." + +They reached for the shiny thing. But when they touched it, it moved. It flew out of the hole. It was not a star. It was a spirit. + +The spirit was angry. It made a loud noise. It said: "How dare you touch me? You are bad children. You are guilty. You must go away." + +Lila and Ben were scared. They did not mean to make the spirit angry. They did not know it was there. They said: "We are sorry, spirit. We did not want to hurt you. We were just curious.

It said we are guilty. It said we must go away." + +Their mom hugged them. She said: "Don't worry, my loves. You are not guilty. You are not bad. You are just children. You like to explore and learn. Sometimes you find things that are not for you. Sometimes you make mistakes. But that's OK. You can say sorry and try to do better. The spirit was wrong to be mean to you. It was not nice. It was not fair. You can come back to this park. You can play and have fun. But maybe you should avoid that tree. There might be other spirits there. And they might not be friendly." + +Lila and Ben nodded. They said: "Thank you, mom. We love you. We are sorry for the spirit. We hope it finds peace. We hope it learns to be nice. We hope it finds a friend." + +Their mom smiled. She said: "You are very sweet, my loves. I love you too. Now let's go and find something else to play with. Something that is not a spirit.

She saw cows, pigs, chickens, horses, and sheep. She thought they were dirty and smelly. She did not want to touch them. + +Her mom and dad gave her a bucket of corn. They told her to feed the chickens. Lily did not want to feed the chickens. She said they were scary and noisy. She threw the bucket on the ground and ran away. + +The chickens were hungry.

Can you help me?" + +Mia felt sorry for the bird. She wanted to help him. She saw a key on a table. She took the key and ran to the cage. She put the key in the lock and turned it. The cage opened. + +"Thank you, thank you!" the bird said. He flew out of the cage and landed on Mia's shoulder. He said, "Now we can sing together. You are very kind and brave." + +Mia was happy. She smiled and said, "You are welcome, bird. Let us sing a song." She began to sing a happy song. The bird joined her. They sang loud and high and low. + +But the bird was not really kind. He was very mean and clever. He waited for Mia to sing a very high note. Then he bit her ear hard. Mia screamed and cried. She dropped the key and the bird. The bird flew away with the key. He laughed and said, "Ha ha ha! You are very foolish and silly. You should not trust strangers. You should not sing so much. Now you cannot close the cage. Now I am free and you are hurt. Goodbye, goodbye!" + +Mia was very sad and angry. She felt pain in her ear and in her heart. She learned a hard lesson. She learned that some people are not nice.

It had a picture of a cup with steam and a smiley face. + +"Do you want to try it?" Max asked. + +Lily nodded. They went to Lily's house and asked her mom to make them some cocoa. Her mom smiled and said yes. She boiled some water and poured it into two cups. Then she added some cocoa powder and stirred it. + +"Here you go, kids. Enjoy your cocoa. It's very rare and special. Someone must have given it to you as a gift," she said. + +Lily and Max thanked her and took their cups. They sipped the cocoa and felt warm and happy. It was sweet and creamy and made them smile. + +"This is the best cocoa ever," Lily said. + +"I agree. It's amazing," Max said. + +They finished their cocoa and hugged each other. They decided to share the other things in the box with their friends. They also wrote a thank you note and put it in the box. They hoped that the person who gave them the cocoa would see it and know how much they liked it. + +They went back to the snow and played some more. They made a snowman and gave him a scarf and a hat from the box. They also gave him a cup of cocoa and a smiley face. + +They named him Coco and said he was their new friend. They recommended him to the other kids and told them about the cocoa. They all had fun and felt grateful for the rare and wonderful gift. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to wander. They lived near a big harbor where many boats came and went. Sometimes they would sneak out of their house and go to the harbor to watch the boats and the water. + +One day, they saw a big boat with a red flag. It looked very exciting and they wanted to see it closer. They ran to the boat and climbed on board. They saw many people and things on the boat. They heard someone say that the boat was going to a faraway land. + +"Wow, this is amazing!" Tom said. "Let's explore the boat!" + +"OK, but we have to be careful. We don't want to get lost or in trouble," Lily said. + +They wandered around the boat and saw many rooms and cabins. They saw a kitchen, a dining room, a library, and a playroom. They saw toys, books, maps, and pictures. They had fun looking at everything. + +But then they heard a loud noise. It was a horn. The boat was leaving the harbor. Tom and Lily were scared. They ran to the deck and looked for a way to get off the boat. But they were too late. The boat was moving fast and the harbor was getting smaller and smaller. + +"Help! Help!" they shouted. "We want to go home!" + +A man heard them and came to them. He was the captain of the boat. He looked angry and surprised. + +"Who are you? How did you get on my boat?" he asked. + +"We are Tom and Lily. We live near the harbor. We just wanted to see your boat. We didn't know it was leaving. Please take us back!" they cried. + +The captain sighed. He felt sorry for the twins. He knew they were just curious and didn't mean any harm. He called his crew and told them to turn the boat around. He took Tom and Lily to his cabin and gave them some cookies and milk. He told them stories about his travels and showed them his flag. He said it was the flag of his country. + +"Where is your country?" Tom asked. + +"It is very far from here. It is across the ocean. It is called Ireland. It is a beautiful and green country. I miss it very much," the captain said. + +"Is it safe there?" Lily asked. + +"Yes, it is safe. But it is not as safe as your home. Your home is the safest place for you. You should never wander away from your home without your parents. You could get lost or hurt or in trouble. Do you understand?" the captain said. + +Tom and Lily nodded. They felt sorry for the captain and his country. They also felt sorry for themselves and their parents. They realized they had made a big mistake. They wanted to go home and hug their parents and say sorry. + +The boat reached the harbor again. The captain took Tom and Lily to the shore and helped them find their way home. He gave them each a hug and a small flag of Ireland. He told them to remember him and his country and to be good and stay safe. + +Tom and Lily thanked the captain and ran to their house. They saw their parents waiting for them. They were very worried and angry. They had noticed that Tom and Lily were missing and had searched for them everywhere. They had called the police and the harbor. + +Tom and Lily hugged their parents and said sorry. They told them what had happened and showed them the flags. They said they had learned their lesson and would never wander away again. + +Their parents were relieved and happy. They forgave Tom and Lily and hugged them again. They said they loved them and were glad they were safe. They said they were proud of them for being brave and honest. They said they would tell them more about Ireland and other countries later. + +Tom and Lily smiled and said they loved their parents too. They said they were glad they were home. They said they were curious about the world, but they knew that home was the best place for them. They said they would always stay safe. +Lily liked to play princess. She had a pink dress, a shiny crown, and a wand. She would spend hours in her room, pretending to rule a big castle and have many friends. + +One day, she asked her mom if she could have a princess party. She wanted to invite all the kids from her preschool and have cake and games. Her mom said yes, and helped her make invitations. + +Lily was very happy. She gave out the invitations at school, and everyone said they would come. She felt very popular and proud. She could not wait for her party. + +On the day of the party, Lily put on her dress, her crown, and her wand. She helped her mom decorate the living room with balloons and streamers. She saw a big cake with her name on it. She smiled. + +Soon, the doorbell rang. Lily ran to open it. She saw her friends, dressed as princes, pirates, fairies, and animals. They all said hello and gave her hugs. They played games, ate cake, and had fun. Lily felt like a real princess. She was very happy. She thanked her mom for the best party ever. +Lily and Ben are playing with their toy cars in the living room. They have a big track with ramps and loops. They like to make their cars go fast and do tricks. + +"Look, Lily, my car can jump over the loop!" Ben says, as he rubs his car on the floor to give it power. He lets go of his car and watches it zoom on the track. + +"Wow, Ben, that's cool!" Lily says. She wants to try too. She picks up her car and rubs it on the floor. But her car is too big and does not fit on the track. It gets stuck on the ramp and falls off. + +"Oh no, Lily, your car is too big!" Ben says. He runs to help her. He picks up her car and tries to fit it on the track. But it does not work. + +"I'm sorry, Ben, I can't play with you," Lily says. She feels sad. She likes her car, but it is not good for the track. + +Ben thinks for a moment. He has an idea. He looks around the living room and sees a big cardboard box. He grabs the box and brings it to Lily. + +"Look, Lily, I have a new track for you!" he says. He puts the box on the floor and cuts a hole on one side. He says, "This is your track. You can rub your car on the floor and make it go inside the box. It will be fun!" + +Lily smiles. She likes Ben's idea. She rubs her car on the floor and makes it go inside the box. She hears it bump and rattle inside. She laughs. + +"Thank you, Ben, you are a good friend!" she says. + +"You're welcome, Lily, you are a good friend too!" he says. + +They play with their cars and their new track. They have fun. They are happy. +Lila and Ben are friends. They like to draw with crayons on paper. They have many colors of crayons. Sometimes they make mistakes and want to change their drawings. They use erasers to rub out the mistakes. + +One day, they are drawing in the garden. They are happy and talk to each other. + +"Look, I draw a big house with a red roof and a blue door," Lila says. + +"That is nice, Lila. I draw a green car with four wheels and a yellow horn," Ben says. + +They smile and show each other their drawings. + +But then, the sky becomes dark and gray. They hear a loud sound. It is thunder. They see flashes of light. It is lightning. They feel drops of water on their faces. It is rain. + +"Oh no, it is raining! Our drawings will get wet and ruined!" Lila says. + +She starts to cry. Ben sees her tears and feels sad. + +"Don't cry, Lila. I have an idea. We can use my big coat to cover our drawings. It will keep them dry," Ben says. + +He takes off his coat and puts it over their drawings. He holds it with his hands. + +"Thank you, Ben. You are a loyal friend. You are very kind and smart," Lila says. + +She hugs him and smiles. Ben smiles back. + +They run to the house with the coat and their drawings. They are wet and cold, but they are happy. They have saved their drawings and their friendship. They are loyal friends. +Ben and Lily are playing in the park. They like to swing and slide and run. They are having fun. But they are also hungry. They want a snack. + +They see a big tree. The tree has red and green things on it. They look like apples. Ben and Lily want to eat them. They think they are yummy. + +Ben and Lily try to reach the apples. But they are too high. They cannot get them. They are sad. They need help. + +They see a man. The man is tall. He has a ladder. He is fixing something on the tree. Ben and Lily run to him. They ask him for help. + +The man is nice. He smiles. He says he can help. He puts the ladder on the tree. He climbs up. He picks some apples. He gives them to Ben and Lily. + +Ben and Lily are happy. They say thank you. They eat the apples. They are sweet and juicy. They are a good snack. + +They share some apples with the man. The man is happy too. He says you're welcome. He finishes his work. He takes the ladder. + +Ben and Lily go back to play. They swing and slide and run. They are having fun. They are not hungry anymore. They are glad they found the apples. They are glad they met the man. They are good friends. +Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play in their big house. One night, they decided to explore the attic, where they had never been before. They took a flashlight and climbed the stairs. + +The attic was dark and dusty, and full of old things. Tim and Sam looked around and saw boxes, books, clothes, toys, and pictures. They opened some of the boxes and found more things to play with. + +"Look, Sam, I found a hat and a coat!" Tim said, putting them on. "I look like a detective!" + +"And I found a mask and a cape!" Sam said, wearing them. "I look like a ghost!" + +They laughed and pretended to be a detective and a ghost, chasing each other around the attic. They had fun and forgot about the time. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud noise from downstairs. It sounded like a door slamming and footsteps coming up the stairs. + +"Who's there?" a voice shouted. "Who's in the attic?" + +Tim and Sam froze and looked at each other. They recognized the voice. It was their dad, who had come home from work. He was not happy to hear noises in the attic. + +They were scared and did not know what to do. They hid behind a big box and hoped their dad would not find them. + +They heard their dad open the attic door and walk in. He had a flashlight too, and he shone it around the room. + +"Hello?" he called. "Is anyone here?" + +He saw the things that Tim and Sam had taken out of the boxes and scattered around the floor. He frowned and shook his head. + +"What a mess!" he said. "Who did this?" + +He moved closer to the box where Tim and Sam were hiding. They trembled and held their breath. + +He reached the box and lifted the lid. He saw Tim and Sam, dressed as a detective and a ghost, looking at him with wide eyes. + +He was surprised and confused. He did not expect to see his sons in the attic. + +"Tim? Sam?" he said. "What are you doing here?" + +Tim and Sam did not answer. They were too afraid to speak. + +Their dad looked at them for a moment, then he smiled and laughed. + +"Oh, I see," he said. "You were playing a game. A detective and a ghost, huh? That's very creative." + +He put down the lid and sat on the floor next to them. + +"I'm sorry I scared you," he said. "I didn't know you were here. I thought someone had broken into the house." + +He hugged them and kissed them on the forehead. + +"I'm glad you're safe," he said. "But you know, you shouldn't play in the attic without permission. It's not safe. There are many things that could hurt you or make you sick. And you shouldn't make such a mess. You have to clean up after yourselves." + +He helped them take off their costumes and put the things back in the boxes. + +"Come on, let's go downstairs," he said. "It's late. You need to go to bed. And tomorrow, we'll talk more about the rules of the house." + +He took their hands and led them out of the attic. He turned off the flashlight and closed the door. + +Tim and Sam followed their dad downstairs. They felt sorry for breaking the rules and making their dad angry. They also felt a little sad that their game was over. They had fun in the attic, even though it was dark and dusty. They liked to pretend and imagine things. + +They thought the attic was exciting, not boring. +Anna liked to wander in the park. She saw many things: trees, flowers, birds, dogs. She liked to touch them and smell them and hear them. She had a good style. She wore a red hat, a blue dress, and yellow shoes. She was happy. + +One day, she wandered too far. She did not see her mom or dad. She did not see the park. She saw a big road with many cars. She was scared. She wanted to go back. She tried to cross the road. She did not look. She did not hear the horn. + +A car hit her. She fell down. She did not get up. She did not move. She did not breathe. Her hat, her dress, and her shoes were red. She was not happy. She was gone. +Tom and Mia were friends who liked to play with toys. One day, they found a big box in the garage. Inside the box, there was a toy volcano that could make red bubbles. Tom and Mia were very excited and wanted to try it. + +"Let's go to the backyard and make the volcano erupt!" Tom said. + +"OK, but we have to ask Mom first," Mia said. + +They ran to the kitchen, where Mom was making lunch. They showed her the toy volcano and asked if they could play with it. + +"Sure, you can play with it, but be careful. Don't make a mess and don't touch the bubbles. They might be hot or sticky," Mom said. + +Tom and Mia nodded and ran to the backyard. They put the toy volcano on the grass and followed the instructions. They poured some water and some powder into the volcano and waited. Soon, the volcano started to make noises and red bubbles came out of the top. Tom and Mia clapped and cheered. + +"Wow, this is so cool!" Tom said. + +"Look, the bubbles are popping and flying!" Mia said. + +They watched the volcano for a while, but then Tom had an idea. He wanted to touch the bubbles and see how they felt. + +"I wonder what the bubbles are like. Maybe they are soft and squishy," Tom said. + +He reached out his hand to grab a bubble, but Mia stopped him. + +"No, Tom, don't do that! Mom said not to touch the bubbles. They might be hot or sticky," Mia said. + +Tom pulled his hand away and looked at Mia. He was angry. He wanted to touch the bubbles and have fun. + +"Who cares what Mom said? It's just a toy. I want to touch the bubbles. They look funny," Tom said. + +He tried to reach for the bubbles again, but Mia refused to let him. She pushed his hand away and said, "No, Tom, stop it! You're being naughty. You have to listen to Mom. She knows what's best for us." + +Tom and Mia started to argue and fight. They pulled and pushed each other, trying to get to the volcano. They didn't notice that the volcano was making more and more bubbles, and that some of them were landing on the grass and the flowers. The bubbles were hot and sticky, and they burned and stained everything they touched. + +Suddenly, they heard Mom's voice. She had seen them from the window and came to the backyard. She was very angry and disappointed. + +"Tom and Mia, what are you doing? Look at the mess you made! You didn't listen to me. You ruined the toy and the garden. You have to go to your rooms and think about what you did," Mom said. + +Tom and Mia felt very sorry and ashamed. They had been bad friends and bad children. They wished they had listened to Mom and not touched the bubbles. They learned their lesson and never played with the toy volcano again. +Sam and Mia were playing in the park. They liked to dig in the mud and make shapes with it. They made a big ball of mud and pretended it was a bomb. + +"Let's throw it at the slide!" Sam said. "It will be fun!" + +Mia nodded. She picked up the ball of mud and followed Sam to the slide. They saw a boy going down the slide. He had a red shirt and a blue hat. + +"Ready, aim, fire!" Sam shouted. He and Mia threw the ball of mud at the boy. The ball hit him in the face and splashed all over him. The boy screamed and cried. + +Sam and Mia laughed. They thought it was funny. They did not see the boy's mom coming. She was angry. She grabbed Sam and Mia by the arms and dragged them to the bench. + +"How dare you do that to my son!" she yelled. "You are very naughty and mean! You made him dirty and hurt! You should be sorry!" + +Sam and Mia were scared. They did not like the mom's voice. They did not like her face. They did not like the bench. They wanted to go home. + +"We are sorry, we are sorry!" they said. "We were just playing! We did not mean to hurt him!" + +The mom did not listen. She did not release them. She called their parents and told them what they did. She said they had to pay for the boy's clothes and hat. She said they had to apologize to the boy and his dad. + +Sam and Mia's parents came. They were angry too. They scolded Sam and Mia and made them say sorry to the boy and his family. They took them home and gave them a time out. They said they could not play in the park for a week. + +Sam and Mia were sad. They did not like the time out. They did not like the week. They did not like the mud. They wished they had not thrown the ball of mud. They wished they had played something else. They learned their lesson. They never threw mud again. +Lily and Ben were playing with clay. They liked to make different shapes and feel the texture. Lily made a snake, Ben made a ball. They were happy. + +Then, a big boy came. He saw their clay and said, "I want your clay. Give it to me." He tried to grab Lily's snake, but she held it tight. "No, this is mine. Go away," she said. + +The big boy was angry. He said, "I will give you money for your clay. Then you can buy more. How much do you want?" He showed them some coins. + +Lily and Ben did not want to sell their clay. They liked their clay. They said, "No, thank you. We don't want money. We want our clay." + +The big boy was very angry. He said, "You are silly. Money is better than clay. You don't know anything." He pushed Lily and Ben and ran away with their clay. + +Lily and Ben were sad. They cried. They felt embarrassed. They wanted their clay back. + +A teacher saw what happened. She came and said, "What's wrong, Lily and Ben? Why are you crying?" + +Lily and Ben told her what the big boy did. The teacher said, "That was not nice. He should not take your clay. He should not push you. He should say sorry. I will find him and make him give your clay back." + +The teacher found the big boy. She said, "You did a bad thing. You took Lily and Ben's clay. You pushed them. You made them cry. You should be ashamed. Give their clay back. Now." + +The big boy was scared. He said, "I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Here is their clay. Please don't be mad at me." + +The teacher took the clay and gave it to Lily and Ben. She said, "Here is your clay. I'm sorry he took it. You can play with it again. Are you okay?" + +Lily and Ben said, "Thank you, teacher. We are okay. We are happy." + +They hugged the teacher and smiled. They played with their clay again. They felt the texture. They made new shapes. They were happy. +Tim and Lily were playing with blocks. They liked to make different shapes with the blocks. Tim made a square with four blocks. Lily made a circle with many blocks. They showed each other their shapes and said, "Look what I made!" + +A nosy cat came to see what they were doing. The cat jumped on the table and knocked over some blocks. Tim and Lily were sad. The cat did not care. The cat saw a triangle that Tim had made with three blocks. The cat liked the triangle. The cat tried to grab the triangle with its paw. + +"Hey, that's mine!" Tim said. He reached for the triangle, but the cat was faster. The cat ran away with the triangle in its mouth. Tim and Lily chased the cat. They wanted to get the triangle back. + +The cat ran into the kitchen. The cat saw a bowl of milk on the floor. The cat dropped the triangle and drank the milk. Tim and Lily saw the triangle on the floor. They ran to get it. + +"Got it!" Tim said. He picked up the triangle. He looked at it. It was not the same as before. The cat had bitten one of the corners. The triangle had a dent in it. + +"Oh no, the cat ruined your triangle!" Lily said. + +Tim looked at Lily. He smiled. He had an idea. + +"It's okay, Lily. I can improve it. Watch this!" Tim said. He took another block and put it on the dent. He made a new shape. It was not a triangle anymore. It was a diamond. + +"Wow, that's cool!" Lily said. She clapped her hands. She liked the diamond. + +Tim and Lily went back to the table. They made more shapes with the blocks. They had fun. The cat finished the milk. The cat was full. The cat did not bother them anymore. The cat went to sleep. +Ben and Lily were having a tea party with their stuffed animals. They had cups, plates, spoons and napkins. They pretended to pour tea and eat cookies. + +"Would you like some more tea, Mr. Bear?" Lily asked in a polite voice. + +"Yes, please, Lily. You are a very good hostess," Mr. Bear said in a deep voice. + +Ben smiled and looked at his napkin. He had an idea. He folded his napkin into a triangle and put it on his head. He said, "Look, Lily, I am a pirate!" + +Lily giggled and clapped her hands. She said, "You are a clever pirate, Ben! Can I be a pirate too?" + +Ben nodded and helped Lily fold her napkin into a triangle. He said, "Now we are both pirates! Let's go on an adventure!" + +They grabbed their spoons and pretended they were swords. They said, "Arrr!" and "Ahoy!" and "Shiver me timbers!" They had a lot of fun. + +Their mom watched them from the door and smiled. She was happy to see them play and display their imagination. She said, "You are very creative, Ben and Lily. I'm proud of you. But it's time for a nap now. Come on, pirates, let's go to your beds." + +Ben and Lily put their napkins and spoons back on the table. They hugged their stuffed animals and followed their mom. They said, "Thank you for the tea party, mom. We love you." + +They went to their beds and fell asleep. They dreamed of sailing the seas and finding treasure. They were clever and happy pirates. +Sara and Ben were at the park with their mom. They saw a big truck with a picture of ice-cream on it. They ran to the truck and asked their mom for some ice-cream. + +"Please, mom, can we have some ice-cream?" they said. "It looks so yummy!" + +Mom smiled and gave them some money. "OK, you can have one ice-cream each. But be careful, it might melt fast in the sun." + +Sara and Ben thanked their mom and went to the truck. They chose their favorite flavors and got their ice-creams. They licked them happily and said, "Mmm, this is so yummy!" + +But then, a big dog came out of nowhere and barked at them. Sara and Ben got scared and dropped their ice-creams on the ground. The dog grabbed their ice-creams with its mouth and ran away. + +Sara and Ben cried and ran back to their mom. "Mom, mom, a dog took our ice-creams!" they said. "We want more ice-cream!" + +Mom hugged them and said, "I'm sorry, my darlings, but we don't have more money for ice-cream. And the truck is leaving now. Maybe we can have some ice-cream another day." + +Sara and Ben were very sad and angry. They did not want to play anymore. They wanted their ice-creams back. They wished the dog would get a tummy ache. They had a bad day. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, they find a new thing in the classroom. It is big and round and has many colors. It is a globe. + +"What is this?" Lily asks. + +"It is a globe. It shows the world," Ben says. + +"The world? What is the world?" Lily wonders. + +Ben points to the globe. "The world is where we live. It has many places and people and animals. See, this is where we are. And this is where my grandma lives. And this is where the lions live." + +Lily looks at the globe. She sees the blue and green and brown and white. She sees the lines and shapes and dots. She is curious. + +"Can we learn more about the world?" she asks. + +"Yes, we can. We can read books and watch videos and ask questions. We can learn many things," Ben says. + +Lily smiles. She likes to learn. She thinks the globe is a clear thing. It helps her see the world. She and Ben decide to learn more about the world together. They are happy. +Tom liked to polish his toy cars. He had many cars of different colors and sizes. He used a soft cloth and some water to make them shiny and clean. He liked to see them sparkle in the sun. + +One day, Tom was polishing his cars on the porch. He saw his mom come out with a glass of juice for him. He was thirsty and happy. He said thank you to his mom and took a sip of the juice. It was sweet and cold. + +But then, he saw a bee fly near his glass. He was scared of bees. He did not want the bee to sting him or take his juice. He tried to shoo the bee away with his hand, but the bee did not go. It buzzed around his glass and his face. + +Tom dropped his glass and ran inside. The juice spilled on the porch and on his cars. He heard his mom yell, "Tom, what happened?" He felt sad and sorry. He did not want to waste his juice or make a mess. + +He went back to the porch with his mom. She saw the bee and the juice and the cars. She was not angry. She said, "Don't worry, Tom. It was just a bee. It won't hurt you if you leave it alone. And we can clean up the juice and the cars. It's okay." + +She gave him a hug and a new glass of juice. She helped him wipe his cars with a wet cloth. They were still shiny and clean. Tom felt better. He said, "I'm sorry, mom. I was scared of the bee. Thank you for the juice and the help." + +She said, "You're welcome, Tom. I love you. And I like your cars. They are very pretty. You did a good job polishing them." + +Tom smiled and hugged his mom. He said, "I love you too, mom. And I like polishing my cars. It's fun. But bees are boring. They only want juice." +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play with toys, but they do not like to share. One day, they find a big clock in the attic. It is shiny and has many numbers and hands. + +"I want the clock!" Sara says. + +"No, I want the clock!" Ben says. + +They both grab the clock and pull hard. The clock makes a loud noise and breaks in two. Sara and Ben scream. + +"Look what you did!" Sara says. + +"It is your fault!" Ben says. + +They are both angry and sad. They do not say sorry to each other. + +Mom hears the scream and comes to the attic. She sees the broken clock and the twins. + +"What happened here?" Mom asks. + +"Sara broke the clock!" Ben says. + +"Ben broke the clock!" Sara says. + +Mom is very upset. She loves the clock. It was a gift from her grandma. She scolds Sara and Ben. + +"You are both very stubborn and naughty! You have to go to your rooms and think about what you did. No toys, no TV, no snacks for you today!" Mom says. + +Sara and Ben cry and go to their rooms. They are still angry and sad. They do not have any fun. They wish they had shared the clock. They wish they had said sorry to each other. They wish they had listened to Mom. But it is too late. The clock is broken and Mom is mad. The end. +Sara loved her colorful doll. She named her Lily and played with her every day. She took Lily to the park, to the store, and to bed. Lily was her best friend. + +One day, Sara went to the park with her mom and Lily. She saw some kids playing on the swings and wanted to join them. She put Lily on a bench and ran to the swings. She had fun swinging high and low, but she forgot about Lily. + +When Sara was done playing, she went back to the bench. But Lily was not there. Sara looked around and saw a boy holding Lily. He was pulling her hair and throwing her in the air. Sara felt angry and sad. She ran to the boy and said, "That's my doll! Give her back!" + +The boy laughed and said, "No, it's mine now. I found it on the bench. It's a nice doll. I like it." + +Sara started to cry. She said, "Please, give her back. She's my best friend. I love her. I'm sorry I left her on the bench. I won't do it again." + +The boy saw Sara crying and felt sorry. He said, "Okay, okay. Here, take your doll. I'm sorry I took her. I was just playing. I have other toys at home. I don't need your doll." + +Sara hugged Lily and said, "Thank you. I'm sorry I yelled at you. You can play with Lily if you want. But please be gentle. She's very fragile." + +The boy smiled and said, "Thank you. I'm sorry I was rough. Maybe we can be friends. What's your name?" + +Sara smiled and said, "I'm Sara. And this is Lily. What's your name?" + +The boy said, "I'm Tom. Nice to meet you, Sara and Lily. Do you want to play on the swings with me?" + +Sara said, "Yes, I do. But first, let me put Lily in my backpack. I don't want to lose her again." + +Sara and Tom went to the swings and played together. They had fun and became friends. Sara learned to be careful with her things and to share with others. Tom learned to be respectful and to ask before taking something. They both learned to be kind and to say sorry. +Lily was a chubby girl who loved to eat pastries. She ate them for breakfast, lunch and dinner. She did not like to share them with anyone, not even her friends. She always wanted more and more pastries. + +One day, Lily went to the bakery with her mom. She saw a big tray of fresh pastries in the window. She wanted to have them all. She asked her mom to buy them for her, but her mom said no. She said that Lily had enough pastries at home, and that she should eat other things too, like fruits and vegetables. She said that pastries were not good for her health, and that she should listen to her advice. + +But Lily did not listen to her mom. She was angry and stubborn. She waited until her mom was not looking, and then she sneaked into the bakery. She grabbed the tray of pastries and ran away. She thought she was very clever and happy. + +But she was not. As she ran, she tripped and fell. The tray of pastries flew out of her hands and landed on the ground. They were smashed and dirty. Lily was hurt and sad. She cried and cried. + +Her mom heard her cry and came to help her. She saw what Lily had done and was very disappointed. She scolded Lily for being greedy and dishonest. She said that Lily had wasted the pastries and hurt herself. She said that Lily should have listened to her mom and been more careful and respectful. + +Lily felt ashamed and sorry. She realized that her mom was right and that she had made a big mistake. She apologized to her mom and to the baker. She promised to be more obedient and generous. She learned that pastries were not the most important thing in life, and that listening to her mom was. +Sara was hungry. She wanted to eat some bread with butter. She saw a big jar of butter on the table. She tried to reach it, but she was too small. She climbed on a chair, but the chair was wobbly. She was clumsy and fell down. The jar of butter fell with her and broke. Butter was everywhere. + +"Uh-oh!" Sara said. She was scared and sad. She did not want to make a mess. She did not want to get in trouble. + +Mama heard the noise and came to the kitchen. She saw Sara and the butter on the floor. She was angry and worried. + +"Sara, what did you do?" Mama asked. "You could have hurt yourself. And you wasted the butter. Why did you do that?" + +Sara looked at Mama with big eyes. She felt sorry. She did not mean to do that. + +"I was hungry, Mama. I wanted some bread with butter. Please, don't be mad at me. I'm sorry, Mama." Sara said. + +Mama sighed. She was not happy, but she loved Sara. She hugged Sara and cleaned her up. + +"It's okay, Sara. I'm not mad at you. But you have to be careful. You can't climb on chairs. You can ask me for help. I will give you some bread with butter. But first, we have to clean this mess. Will you help me, Sara?" Mama said. + +Sara nodded. She wanted to help Mama. She wanted to make Mama happy. She helped Mama wipe the butter from the floor and the table. She said sorry to the jar of butter. She learned her lesson. She ate some bread with butter with Mama. She said thank you to Mama.

One day, they saw a big cake on a table near the fountain. It had white frosting and pink flowers and looked very yummy. + +"Wow, look at that cake!" Lily said. "Can we have some?" + +"I don't know," Ben said. "Maybe it belongs to someone." + +They went closer to the table and saw a sign that said "Happy Marriage, Anna and Tom". They also saw some empty plates and cups, but no people. + +"Maybe they are gone," Lily said. "Maybe they don't want the cake anymore." + +"Or maybe they are coming back," Ben said. "Maybe they will be mad if we take their cake." + +They looked at each other and felt hungry. They wanted to taste the cake, but they also did not want to be bad. + +"What should we do?" Lily asked. + +"I have an idea," Ben said. "We can balance the cake on the seesaw. Then, if they come back, we can say we were just playing with it. And if they don't come back, we can eat it." + +Lily thought that was a good idea. They carefully lifted the cake and put it on one end of the seesaw. Then they went to the other end and pushed it down. The cake went up in the air and landed on the other end. They laughed and clapped. + +"Let's do it again!" Lily said. + +They pushed the seesaw again and again, making the cake fly up and down. They had so much fun that they did not notice the people who came back to the table. + +"Hey, what are you doing with our cake?" a woman shouted. + +Lily and Ben turned around and saw Anna and Tom, the bride and groom. They looked angry and sad. + +"We were just playing with it," Ben said. + +"We didn't eat it," Lily said. + +But the cake was not pretty anymore. It was smashed and dirty and had grass and leaves on it. Anna and Tom were very upset. They had worked hard to make the cake for their marriage. They had left it on the table for a few minutes to take some pictures. They had hoped to share it with their friends and family. But now it was ruined. + +Lily and Ben felt sorry. They knew they had done something wrong. They did not mean to hurt Anna and Tom. They wanted to say sorry, but they did not know how. + +"Sorry," they whispered. + +But Anna and Tom did not hear them. They were too busy crying and yelling. They did not want to play with Lily and Ben. They did not want to be their friends. + +Lily and Ben ran away from the park. They felt sad and ashamed. They did not want to balance on the seesaw anymore. They did not want to eat cake anymore. They wished they had never seen the cake. They wished they had never played with it. They wished they had been good. +Lila and Tom were playing in the park. They saw a big tree with a long trunk. Lila wanted to wrap her arms around the trunk and hug it. Tom said, "No, Lila, that is silly. The tree is too big for you. You cannot hug it." + +But Lila was persistent. She did not listen to Tom. She ran to the tree and tried to wrap her arms around the trunk. She stretched and stretched, but she could not reach. She felt sad and frustrated. She said, "I want to hug the tree. It is so nice and green and tall. Why can I not hug it?" + +Tom saw that Lila was unhappy. He wanted to help her. He had an idea. He said, "Lila, I have a plan. Come with me." He took her hand and led her to the other side of the tree. There, he saw a low branch that was thick and strong. He said, "Look, Lila, this is a part of the tree too. It is like a small trunk. You can wrap your arms around this branch and hug it. It is just the right size for you." + +Lila smiled and nodded. She liked Tom's idea. She climbed on the branch and wrapped her arms around it. She felt the bark and the leaves and the warmth of the sun. She said, "Thank you, Tom. You are a good friend. I like this branch. It is like a hug from the tree." + +Tom climbed on the branch too and wrapped his arms around Lila. He said, "You are welcome, Lila. You are a good friend too. I like this branch too. It is like a hug from you." They hugged each other and the branch and the tree. They felt happy and cozy. They played and laughed and sang until it was time to go home. +Sam and Mia are twins. They like to play in the park with their mom. One day, they see a man with a big drum. He sits on a bench and hits the drum with his hands. He makes loud and soft sounds. Sam and Mia observe the man with their eyes and ears. + +"Look, Mia, he has a rhythm!" Sam says. "He hits the drum fast and slow, fast and slow." + +"Yes, Sam, he does. It sounds nice. I like the rhythm." Mia says. "Can we try?" + +They run to the man and ask him if they can play the drum. The man smiles and nods. He gives them each a hand and shows them how to hit the drum. Sam and Mia follow his rhythm. They hit the drum fast and slow, fast and slow. They laugh and have fun. + +The man, Sam, and Mia make music together. They feel happy and peaceful. Their mom watches them and smiles. She thinks they are very clever and brave. She claps her hands and joins the rhythm. They all enjoy the drum in the park. +Lila and Ben are playing in the garden. They have a big box and some old clothes. They want to make a house for their furry cat, Mimi. + +"Let's tie this scarf to the box. It can be the door," says Lila. + +"OK. And this hat can be the roof," says Ben. + +They work hard and make a cozy house for Mimi. They put a pillow and a toy mouse inside. They also find a bottle of wine in the trash. They don't know what it is, but it looks pretty. + +"Look, Mimi. We made you a house. Do you like it?" asks Lila. + +Mimi meows and walks into the box. She sniffs the pillow and the mouse. She sees the bottle of wine and thinks it is water. She tries to drink from it, but it tastes bad. She spits it out and makes a funny face. + +"Yuck! What is this?" she says. + +Lila and Ben laugh. They don't know what it is either, but they think it is funny. + +"That's not water, Mimi. That's wine. It's for grown-ups, not cats," says Ben. + +"Sorry, Mimi. We didn't know. Do you still like your house?" asks Lila. + +Mimi purrs and rubs her head against Lila and Ben. She likes her house and her friends. She doesn't mind the wine. She cuddles with the pillow and the mouse and falls asleep. + +The end. +Lily was a gifted girl who loved to sing. She had a beautiful voice that made everyone happy. She liked to sing in the park, under a big tree with many branches. She felt free and joyful there. + +One day, a mean boy named Tom came to the park. He saw Lily singing and felt jealous. He wanted to make her stop. He picked up a stick and threw it at her. The stick hit Lily's throat and hurt her a lot. She stopped singing and started to cry. + +"Ha ha, you can't sing anymore!" Tom laughed. "You sound like a frog now. Go away, this is my park!" + +Lily felt very sad and scared. She suffered a lot from the pain and the mean words. She ran away from Tom and looked for help. She saw a kind lady walking her dog. She ran to her and told her what happened. + +"Oh, you poor thing!" the lady said. "That was very bad of Tom. He should not hurt you or anyone. Come with me, I will take you to the doctor. He will make you feel better." + +The lady took Lily to the doctor, who gave her some medicine and a bandage. He told her to rest her voice and drink some water. He said she would be able to sing again soon. + +"Thank you, doctor," Lily said softly. "And thank you, lady, for helping me. You are very nice." + +"You are very welcome, Lily," the lady said. "You are a gifted girl, and you have a wonderful gift. Don't let anyone take it away from you. Keep singing and make the world a happier place." +Tom and Anna were friends who liked to play outside. One day, they decided to wake up very early and see the sunrise. They put on their coats and hats and went to the hill near their house. + +"Look, the sky is getting bright!" Anna said, pointing at the horizon. "The sun is coming soon!" + +"I want to see the sun!" Tom said, running ahead. "I bet it is enormous and yellow and warm!" + +But when they reached the top of the hill, they saw a big cloud covering the sun. They could only see a little bit of orange and pink behind the cloud. + +"Oh no!" Anna said, feeling sad. "The cloud is hiding the sun! We can't see the sunrise!" + +Tom was angry. He shook his fist at the cloud and shouted, "Go away, cloud! You are mean and ugly and cold! You are ruining our fun!" + +The cloud did not mind Tom. It stayed where it was, blocking the sun. Tom and Anna waited and waited, but the cloud did not move. + +"Maybe we should go back home," Anna said, shivering. "It is too cold and dark here." + +Tom nodded. He was sorry for being rude to the cloud. He knew it was not the cloud's fault. He said, "I'm sorry, cloud. You are not mean and ugly and cold. You are just doing your job. Maybe we can see the sunrise another day." + +They held hands and walked back home. They hoped the sun would come out soon and make them happy. +Sam and Mia liked to play in the park. They liked to slide, swing, and run. One day, they saw a big pile of leaves. They were enthusiastic. They wanted to jump in the leaves. + +They ran to the pile and jumped in.

The boat tipped over and sank to the bottom of the pond. + +"Oh no!" Ben cried. "Our boat is gone!" + +Lily was sad too. She hugged Ben and said, "Don't worry, Ben. Maybe we can get it back." + +They ran to their dad, who was sitting on a bench. They told him what happened and asked him to help them. + +Dad was a modest man.

She comes to see what is wrong. She sees Lily and Tom. She sees the book and the glue. She is not happy. + +"Tom, Lily, what are you doing? Why are you fighting? Why did you ruin the book?

The ball was red and round. Anna wanted to play with the ball too. She walked to the boy and said, "Hi, I am Anna. Can I play with your ball?" + +The boy looked at Anna and said, "No, you can't. You don't know how to play with a ball. You only know how to draw silly shapes. Look at this." He took a piece of paper from his pocket and showed it to Anna. It had a shape that Anna had never seen before. It had three sides and three corners. The boy said, "This is a triangle. It is the best shape ever. You can't draw a triangle. You are too dumb." + +Anna felt sad and angry. She didn't like the boy. She didn't like the triangle. She said, "I can draw a triangle. I can draw any shape I want. You are mean and rude. I don't want to play with you." She took her crayons from her bag and started to draw on the paper. She drew a big triangle and colored it blue. She said, "See, this is a triangle. It is better than yours. Yours is ugly and small." + +The boy was surprised and annoyed. He said, "No, it is not. Your triangle is wrong. It has too many colors. A triangle should only have one color. And it should be red, like my ball. You don't know anything about triangles. You are ashamed of your triangle. You should throw it away." + +Anna was not ashamed of her triangle. She liked her triangle. She thought it was beautiful and fun. She said, "I am not ashamed of my triangle. I am proud of my triangle. It is my triangle. I can make it any color I want. You are ashamed of your ball. You should share your ball. Sharing is nice. Being mean is not." + +The boy didn't know what to say. He felt a little ashamed of his ball. He felt a little ashamed of himself. He said, "Sorry, I was mean. You are right. Sharing is nice. Do you want to play with my ball?" + +Anna smiled and said, "Yes, I do. Thank you. Do you want to see my shapes?" + +The boy nodded and said, "Yes, I do. Thank you.

They had fun. They were happy. +Anna and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big rock near a tree. They run to the rock and sit on it. + +"Look, Ben, an insect!" Anna says. She points to a small, black bug on the rock. The bug has six legs and two wings. + +"What is it?" Ben asks. He leans closer to the bug. + +"It is a fly," Anna says. She knows a lot of insect names. "It can fly very fast." + +"Can I touch it?" Ben asks. He reaches out his hand to the bug. + +"No, Ben, don't!" Anna says. She pulls his hand back. "The fly might bite you. It is not a nice insect." + +Ben frowns. He wants to touch the bug. He thinks it is cool. + +"Let's find another insect," Anna says. She jumps off the rock and looks around. "Maybe we can find a ladybug or a butterfly. They are nice insects. They have pretty colors." + +"Okay," Ben says. He follows Anna. He still thinks the fly is cool, but he likes ladybugs and butterflies too. He hopes they can find one. He likes playing with Anna. She is his best friend. +Anna likes to draw with her crayons.

She says, "Not now, Anna. I am busy. Go play with your toys." + +Anna does not go play with her toys. She goes to her brother's room. She thinks maybe he took her folder. She sees her brother playing with his cars. She sees her folder on his bed. She is angry. + +She runs to her brother and grabs her folder. She yells, "This is mine! Give it back!" + +Her brother is surprised. He does not like Anna taking his things. He yells, "No, this is mine! I found it!" + +They pull and tug on the folder. They rip it apart. All the pictures fall out. They are torn and crumpled. Anna and her brother cry. + +Mom hears the noise. She comes to the room. She sees the mess. She is mad. She says, "What have you done? Look at this! You ruined your folder and your pictures!" + +Anna and her brother feel sorry. They say, "We are sorry, Mom. We did not mean to." + +Mom says, "Sorry is not enough. You have to clean this up. And no more crayons for you. Go to your rooms. You are in trouble." + +Anna and her brother go to their rooms. They are sad. They have no folder, no pictures and no crayons. They wish they had been nicer to each other. They wish they had listened to Mom.

It was thunder. + +"Mommy, I'm scared!" Lily said. + +"Me too!" Tom said. + +They ran to their mommy, who was sitting on a bench. She hugged them and said, "Don't worry, my loves. It's just a storm. We have to go home now and rest." + +They walked to their car, but the rain started to fall. It was heavy and wet. They got soaked. They tried to hurry, but the water made the road slippery.

It has many colors and it looks happy. + +The butterfly is fast and smart. It flies up and down, left and right, avoiding the net. Lily and Tom try hard to catch it, but they cannot. They get tired and sweaty. + +"Maybe we should let it go," Tom says. He feels sorry for the butterfly. He thinks it wants to be free and play with its friends. + +Lily thinks for a moment. She likes the butterfly, but she does not want to make it sad. She nods and smiles. + +"Okay, Tom. You are right. The butterfly is not a toy. It is a living thing. We should let it go and watch it fly." + +They put down the net and the jug. They sit on the grass and watch the butterfly. It flaps its wings and flies away. It looks grateful and happy. Lily and Tom clap their hands and cheer. They feel good and proud. They have learned something new today. +Lily got new shoes for her birthday. They were red and shiny and had a little heel. She loved her new shoes and wanted to wear them all the time. + +One day, she went to the park with her mom and her dog, Max. Max was a big and friendly dog, but he liked to chew on things. Lily ran and played with Max, and forgot to watch her new shoes. + +When she came back to the bench, she saw that Max had found her new shoes and had destroyed them. He had bitten and torn the heel and the shiny part. Lily was very sad and angry. She cried and yelled at Max. + +Mom saw what had happened and hugged Lily.

She said they would go to the store and buy new shoes for Lily, and that Max would stay at home. + +Lily stopped crying and nodded. She still loved Max, but she did not like what he had done.

Please don't be mad at me." + +Anna says, "You should have asked me first. That is what friends do. They share and lend. They don't take and hide. You are in trouble, Ben. You have to say sorry and give me back my doll." + +Ben says, "I'm sorry, Anna. You are right. I was wrong. Here is your doll. Can we still be friends?" + +Anna says, "Yes, Ben. We can still be friends. But you have to promise me that you will not take my things again. And I will lend you my doll sometimes, if you ask nicely." + +Ben says, "I promise, Anna. Thank you for lending me your doll. And I will lend you my car sometimes, too." + +Anna and Ben hug. They are happy. They play with the doll and the car together. + +The moral of the story is: Don't take things that are not yours. Ask before you borrow. Share and lend with your friends. +Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play together. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big chair in the living room. The chair was soft and cozy, and they could pretend it was a spaceship, a castle, or a boat. + +One day, they decided to play pirates. They put a blanket over the chair and made a flag with a skull and bones. They wore hats and eye patches and said "Arrr!" a lot. They had a lot of fun sailing the seas and looking for treasure. + +"Look, Ben, there's an island!" Anna said, pointing to the couch. "Maybe there's gold and jewels there!" + +"Let's go, Anna!" Ben said, grabbing a plastic sword. "But watch out for the crocodiles!" + +They jumped off the chair and ran to the couch. They pretended to fight the crocodiles with their swords and made loud noises. They found a pillow that looked like a chest and opened it. Inside, there were some coins and necklaces that their mom had given them. + +"Wow, we're rich!" Anna said, putting a necklace around her neck. "We're the most successful pirates ever!" + +They cheered and hugged each other. They were very excited and happy. They took their treasure back to the chair and counted it. They felt proud of their adventure. They decided to share some of their treasure with their mom and dad, who smiled and praised them. They loved playing pirates on the chair. +Lily was playing with her baby doll in her room. She loved her baby doll very much. She gave her a bottle, a blanket and a kiss. She pretended to be a mommy. + +But then she saw something shiny on her mommy's dresser. It was a necklace with a big red stone. Lily liked shiny things. She wanted to try it on. She put down her baby doll and went to the dresser. She took the necklace and put it around her neck. She looked at herself in the mirror. She felt pretty. + +But then she heard her mommy coming. She got scared. She did not want her mommy to see her with the necklace. She did not want her mommy to be angry. She quickly took off the necklace and tried to put it back on the dresser. But she dropped it. It fell on the floor and broke. The red stone came off. Lily felt bad. + +She heard her mommy opening the door. She did not know what to do. She grabbed her baby doll and ran to her bed. She hid under the blanket. She hoped her mommy would not find out. + +Her mommy came in and saw the broken necklace on the floor. She gasped. She looked around and saw Lily under the blanket. She walked over to her and lifted the blanket. + +"Lily, what did you do?" she asked. + +Lily peeked out from the blanket. She saw her mommy's sad face. She felt guilty. She started to cry. + +"I'm sorry, mommy. I wanted to see the shiny thing. I did not mean to break it. I love you, mommy. Please don't be mad at me," she said. + +Her mommy sighed. She hugged Lily and wiped her tears. + +"I love you too, Lily. But you should not touch my things without asking. They are not toys. They are special to me. You could have hurt yourself or lost them. Do you understand?" she said. + +Lily nodded. She understood. She said sorry again. She gave her mommy a kiss. + +Her mommy smiled. She kissed her back. She told her it was okay. She said they would fix the necklace together. She said they would also play with the baby doll. She said they were both pretty. + +Lily felt happy. She felt sorry for breaking the necklace, but she felt glad that her mommy still loved her. She hugged her mommy and her baby doll. She said thank you. She said she loved them both. +Sara and Tom are playing in the park. They like to run, jump and slide. They see a big hill with many trees and flowers. They want to go up the hill and see what is there. + +"Let's go, Sara!" Tom says. "Maybe we can find something incredible!" + +"OK, Tom!" Sara says. "But we have to be careful. The hill is steep and the ground is bumpy." + +They hold hands and start to step up the hill. They step over rocks, sticks and bugs. They step around bushes, birds and butterflies. They step and step and step until they reach the top of the hill. + +"Wow!" Tom says. "Look at that!" + +He points to a big folder that is lying on the grass. It is shiny and colorful. It has pictures of animals, cars and stars on it. + +"What is it, Tom?" Sara asks. "Is it a book? Is it a game? Is it a toy?" + +"I don't know, Sara," Tom says. "But it looks incredible! Let's open it and see!" + +They run to the folder and open it. Inside, they find many papers with drawings, words and numbers on them. They are amazed by what they see. + +"Look, Sara!" Tom says. "This paper has a dinosaur on it! And this one has a rainbow! And this one has a cake!" + +"Look, Tom!" Sara says. "This paper has a princess on it! And this one has a rocket! And this one has a puppy!" + +They laugh and clap and hug each other. They are happy and curious. They want to learn more about the folder and the papers. + +"Who made this folder, Tom?" Sara asks. "Where did it come from? Why is it here?" + +"I don't know, Sara," Tom says. "But maybe we can find out. Maybe we can ask someone. Maybe we can take it home." + +They close the folder and pick it up. They hold it together and start to step down the hill. They step and step and step until they reach the bottom of the hill. + +They see their mom and dad waiting for them. They wave and smile and run to them. + +"Mom! Dad!" Tom says. "Look what we found! It's incredible!" + +"Mom! Dad!" Sara says. "Look what we found! It's incredible!" + +They show them the folder and the papers. They tell them about their adventure on the hill. They ask them many questions. + +Mom and dad are surprised and proud. They hug and kiss them. They answer their questions. + +"That's incredible, Tom and Sara!" Mom says. "You found a folder with many papers. It's a folder with many stories. It's a folder with many dreams." + +"That's incredible, Tom and Sara!" Dad says. "You found a folder with many papers. It's a folder with many lessons. It's a folder with many wonders." + +They take the folder and the papers home. They put them on the table. They look at them together. They read them, draw them and talk about them. They have fun and learn. They make their own stories, lessons and dreams. They are incredible. +Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They had a hut made of sticks and leaves. They liked to pretend it was their home. + +"Let's make some food," Lily said. "I'm hungry." + +"Me too," Tom said. "What can we make?" + +They looked around and saw some apples on a tree. They picked some and brought them to the hut. + +"We can make apple pie," Lily said. "It's delicious." + +They put the apples in a big bowl and mashed them with a spoon. Then they spread them on a flat piece of bread. They put another piece of bread on top and pressed it. + +"Here is our pie," Tom said. "It looks yummy." + +They cut the pie into two pieces and each took one. They bit into it and smiled. + +"Mmm, this is delicious," Lily said. + +"Best pie ever," Tom said. + +They ate their pie and felt happy. They heard their mom calling them from the house. + +"Tom, Lily, come inside. It's time for lunch." + +They ran to the house, holding hands. They still had some pie in their mouths. + +"Mom, we made apple pie in the hut," Tom said. + +"It was delicious," Lily said. + +Mom smiled and hugged them. + +"That's wonderful, my loves. But you still need to eat some real food. Come on, I have some soup and sandwiches for you." + +They followed mom to the kitchen. They were still hungry, but they also felt proud of their pie. They decided to make more later and share it with mom and dad. They loved playing in the hut. +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They had a big bucket of water and some cups. They liked to pour water on the flowers and the grass. They also liked to splash each other and laugh. + +"Look, Lily, I have a big cup of water!" Ben said. He lifted the cup high and tried to soak Lily with it. But he was not very strong and the water spilled on his head instead. Lily giggled and ran away. + +"Hey, that's not fair!" Ben said. He chased Lily around the garden. He wanted to soak her back. But Lily was fast and smart. She hid behind a tree and waited for Ben. + +When Ben came near the tree, Lily jumped out and soaked him with her cup. Ben was wet and surprised. He dropped his cup and hugged Lily. They both laughed and fell on the grass. + +"Let's go inside and have a snack," Lily said. "I'm hungry and thirsty." + +"Me too," Ben said. "Maybe Mom has some cookies for us." + +They ran inside the house and found Mom in the kitchen. She smiled and gave them each a cookie and a glass of milk. + +"Did you have fun in the garden?" Mom asked. + +"Yes, we did!" Lily and Ben said. "We soaked the flowers and each other!" + +Mom laughed and kissed them. "You are very wet and dirty, but also very cute.

She screamed and ran away. + +"Come back, Lily, it is just a spider!" Tim said. He followed Lily with the spider. + +Lily ran to the house. She wanted to find Mom. She did not see the car in the driveway. The car was big and red. It was Mom's car. + +Tim ran after Lily. He did not see the car either. He only saw Lily. He wanted to make her happy. He waved the spider at her. + +"Look, Lily, the spider is waving at you!" he said. + +But Lily did not look. She ran into the road. She did not hear the horn. She did not see the truck. The truck was big and fast. It was not Mom's truck. + +The truck hit Lily. Lily fell down. She did not get up. She was very still. + +Tim dropped the spider. He ran to Lily. He cried and cried. + +Mom came home. She saw the truck. She saw Lily. She saw Tim. She was very sad. + +The spider crawled away. It was sleepy. It found a hole. It went inside. It spun a web. It slept. +Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big cake in the window of a shop. It has white and pink flowers on it. + +"Wow, look at that cake!" Sara says. "It is so pretty!" + +Ben nods. "Yes, it is. Do you know why they have a cake like that?" + +Sara shakes her head. "No, why?" + +Ben says, "It is for a wedding. When two people love each other, they marry. They wear nice clothes and have a party with a cake." + +Sara thinks for a moment. "Do you love me, Ben?" + +Ben smiles. "Yes, I do. You are my best friend." + +Sara smiles back. "Then, do you want to marry me?" + +Ben says, "Sure, why not? We can have a cake too." + +They hold hands and run to the park.

He liked to go fast and make noise. He rode his bike every day after school with his friends. + +One day, he saw a big truck on his street. It was black and had a picture of a snake on it. Tommy thought it was mysterious. He wanted to see what was inside. He rode his bike closer to the truck. He saw a man with a mask and a bag. The man looked angry. + +"Hey, kid, get away from here!" the man shouted. "This is none of your business!" + +Tommy was scared. He did not like the man. He wanted to go home.

They are in the bank!" + +The police officers looked at Tommy. They were surprised. They did not expect a little boy to be a witness. They thanked Tommy for his help.

He looks fun." + +Anna said, "No, he is mine. I found him first. Go play with your cars." + +Ben felt sad. He said, "But I like teddy bears too. Please share with me." + +Anna looked at Ben's face. She saw his tears and his skin. She remembered that Ben was her brother and she loved him. She felt sorry for being mean. She said, "I'm sorry, Ben. You can have a turn with Teddy. He is our friend.

They had a lot of fun in their new house. +Lily and Ben were playing with a big red ball in the park. They liked to bounce the ball and catch it. Sometimes they bounced the ball to each other, and sometimes they bounced it on the ground. + +One day, they saw a big jar of jelly on a picnic table. It looked yummy and shiny. They wanted to taste it, but they did not know who it belonged to. + +"Can we have some jelly?" Lily asked Ben. + +"I don't know. Maybe we should ask first," Ben said. + +But before they could ask, a grumpy man came to the table. He was the owner of the jelly. He saw the children looking at his jelly and he got angry. + +"Hey, get away from my jelly! It's mine, not yours!" he shouted. + +He grabbed the jar of jelly and held it tight. But he did not see the ball that Lily and Ben had left on the ground. He stepped on the ball and lost his balance. He fell down and the jar of jelly flew out of his hands. It landed on his head and broke. Jelly splashed all over him and the ground. + +Lily and Ben gasped. They felt sorry for the man, but they also thought it was funny. They ran to help him, but they could not stop giggling. + +"Are you okay, mister?" Lily asked. + +"Sorry about the ball," Ben said. + +The man was covered in jelly. He felt sticky and wet.

There's plenty left," he said. + +He smiled and offered them a spoon. Lily and Ben smiled back and took the spoon. They tasted the jelly and liked it. It was sweet and fruity. + +"Thank you, mister. Your jelly is very good," Lily said. + +"Yes, thank you. And sorry again for the mess," Ben said. + +They all laughed and shared the jelly. They became friends and played with the ball and the jelly.

They saw a lot of new things to collect. + +"Look, Lily, a razor!" Tom said. He pointed to a metal thing on the ground. It had a sharp edge and a handle. + +"No, Tom, don't touch it!" Lily said. "It can hurt you. Mom said razors are for grown-ups only." + +"But it's so shiny and cool," Tom said. He reached for the razor. + +"Tom, stop!" Lily shouted. She grabbed his hand and pulled him away. "Mom, Tom found a razor!" + +Mom heard Lily and ran to them. She saw the razor and was scared. She took it and threw it in the trash. + +"Thank you, Lily, for saving your brother," Mom said. "That was very brave and smart of you. Razors are very dangerous. They can cut your skin and make you bleed. You should never touch them or play with them." + +"I'm sorry, Mom," Tom said. "I didn't know. I just wanted to collect it." + +"I know, Tom, but you have to be careful," Mom said. "There are some things that are not good to collect. They can hurt you or make you sick. You should only collect things that are safe and fun, like stones or feathers or buttons or stickers." + +"Okay, Mom," Tom and Lily said. They hugged Mom and said they loved her. + +Mom smiled and hugged them back. She said she loved them too. Then they went to the playground and had a lively time. They slid on the slide, swung on the swings, and climbed on the monkey bars. They also found some more things to collect, like pine cones, leaves, and flowers. They put them in their box and showed them to Mom. Mom said they were very pretty and creative. Tom and Lily were happy and proud.

Mom smiles and says, "Sure, you can choose one thing each. But be careful, some things are spicy and hot. They can make your mouth hurt." + +Lila and Ben look at the shelf. They see many jars and bottles. They do not know what they are. They pick one each. Lila picks a jar with red sauce. Ben picks a bottle with green leaves. They open them and smell them. They seem good. They pour some in the soup. Mom does not see them. She is busy cutting bread. + +The soup is ready. Mom turns off the stove. She says, "Let's eat, kids. Come to the table." Lila and Ben are happy. They think they made the soup better. They sit down and take a spoonful. They put it in their mouths. + +"Ow! Ow! Ow!" they cry. The soup is very spicy and hot. It makes their mouths hurt. They spit it out. They drink water. They do not like the soup. Mom is surprised. She tastes the soup. She says, "Oh no! What did you put in the soup?" She sees the jar and the bottle. She says, "Lila, you put hot sauce in the soup. Ben, you put mint in the soup. These are not good for soup. They are too spicy and strong. Next time, ask me before you add anything." + +Lila and Ben are sorry. They say, "We are sorry, Mom. We wanted to help. We did not know they were spicy and strong. We will ask you next time." Mom hugs them and says, "It's okay, kids. I know you wanted to help. But you have to be careful in the kitchen. Some things are not for soup. Some things are for other dishes. I will teach you how to cook. But for now, let's have some bread and cheese instead." Lila and Ben nod and smile. They have some bread and cheese. They are not spicy and hot. They are yummy and soft. +Sara and Ben were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They gave him a carrot nose and two buttons for eyes.

Then we can pretend he is a hunter." + +Sara nodded. She liked to pretend. They put on their mittens and boots and ran to the woods. The snow was deep and soft. They saw many animal tracks. They followed them to a big tree. + +"Look, Sara, a bow!" Ben said. He pointed to a branch that was bent like a bow. He broke it off and tied a string to it. He looked for an arrow, but he could not find one. + +"Maybe we can use a pine cone," Sara said. She picked one up and gave it to Ben. He put it on the string and pulled it back. He aimed at the snowman. + +"Ready, Sara?" he asked. + +"Ready, Ben," she said. + +But before he could shoot, they heard a loud roar. A big bear came out of the bushes. He was angry and hungry. He saw the children and the snowman. He growled and showed his teeth. + +Sara and Ben were scared. They dropped the bow and the pine cone. They shivered and hugged each other. + +"Go away, bear!" Ben shouted. "Leave us alone!" + +The bear did not listen. He walked towards them. He wanted to eat them. + +Sara and Ben did not know what to do. They wished they had a real bow and arrow. They wished they had a big dog. They wished they had their mom and dad. + +But then they remembered the snowman. He had a hat and a scarf and a carrot nose. He had two buttons for eyes. He looked like a friend. + +"Help us, snowman!" Sara cried. "Scare the bear away!" + +The snowman did not move. He did not talk. He was just snow. + +But the bear did not know that. He saw the snowman and thought he was another person. He was confused and afraid. He stopped and sniffed. He did not like the smell of the hat and the scarf. He did not like the look of the carrot nose and the buttons. He thought the snowman was brave and strong. + +The bear decided he did not want to fight. He turned around and ran away. He left the children and the snowman alone. + +Sara and Ben were happy and relieved. They thanked the snowman for saving them. They gave him a big hug and a smile. + +"You are the best snowman ever," Ben said. "You are our hero." + +The snowman did not answer. He did not feel anything. He was just snow. + +But Sara and Ben did not care. They loved him anyway. They thought he was brave and kind. They took the bow and the pine cone and put them on him.

They said he was brave. + +Their mom and dad smiled and hugged them. They said they were proud of them. They said they were brave, too.

They were very spoiled. + +One day, their mom took them to the park. There were many children playing there, but Anna and Ben did not join them. They only wanted to play with their own toys. They saw a big slide and ran to it. They pushed and shoved the other children who were waiting for their turn. They did not say sorry or thank you. They were very rude. + +The other children did not like Anna and Ben. They called them monsters and ran away from them. Anna and Ben did not care. They thought they were better than everyone else.
