+Mia nods. She has some crackers and cheese in her backpack. She gives them to Ben.
+
+"OK, Mia. You stay here. I will go outside and talk to the dog. Don't be afraid. I will be back soon," Ben says.
+
+He takes the snacks and opens the door. He sees the dog. The dog sees him. The dog stops barking and wags its tail. Ben smiles. He walks slowly to the dog. He holds out his hand with the snacks.
+
+"Hi, dog. We are Ben and Mia. We are not mean. We want to be your friends. Do you want some snacks?" Ben says.
+
+The dog sniffs Ben's hand. It licks the snacks. It licks Ben's hand. It makes a happy sound. Ben pets the dog. The dog likes Ben.
+
+"See, Mia? The dog is nice. Come and meet him," Ben says.
+
+Mia comes out of the lab. She is still a little scared. But she sees that Ben and the dog are getting along. She walks to them. She gives the dog a cracker. The dog licks her hand too. She pets the dog. The dog likes Mia.
+
+"Wow, Ben. You are so brave. You made the dog our friend. He is cute. What should we name him?" Mia says.
+
+Ben thinks for a moment. He looks at the dog. The dog has brown fur and black spots.
+
+"How about Spot? He has spots. Do you like Spot, dog?" Ben says.
+
+The dog barks. He wags his tail. He likes Spot.
+
+"Spot it is. Welcome to our lab, Spot. You can play with us. We have lots of things to show you," Mia says.
+
+Ben, Mia, and Spot go inside the lab. They play with paper, glue, and crayons. They supply their lab with new things every day. They are happy. They are friends.
+Lily and Mia are best friends. They like to play in the park with their dolls. One day, they see a big slide. Lily wants to go on the slide, but Mia is scared.
+
+"Come on, Mia, it is fun!" Lily says. "I dare you to go on the slide with me!"
+
+Mia shakes her head. "No, Lily, it is too high. I don't want to go on the slide. I might fall and hurt myself."
+
+Lily is sad. She wants to share the fun with Mia. She thinks of a way to make Mia feel brave. She says, "Mia, you have a beautiful face. You are not afraid of anything. You can do anything you want. You are my best friend. I will hold your hand and we will go on the slide together. Trust me, it will be fun!"
+
+Mia looks at Lily. She sees her smile and her eyes. She feels her hand and her heart. She thinks, "Lily is right. I have a beautiful face. I am not afraid of anything. I can do anything I want. She is my best friend. She will hold my hand and we will go on the slide together. Maybe it will be fun!"
+
+Mia nods. She says, "Okay, Lily, I will go on the slide with you. I dare you to go first!"
+
+Lily and Mia laugh. They run to the slide and climb up the stairs. They sit on the slide and hold hands. They look at each other and say, "Ready, set, go!"
+
+They slide down the slide and feel the wind and the sun. They scream and giggle. They land on the ground and hug each other. They are happy and proud. They did it!
+
+They look at the slide and say, "That was fun! Let's do it again!"
+Lily was a little girl who loved to dress up. She had many pretty clothes in her closet, but her favorite was a red velvet dress. It was soft and shiny and made her feel like a princess.
+
+One day, she wanted to wear her velvet dress to school. She asked her mom, "Can I wear my velvet dress today, please?"
+
+Her mom said, "No, Lily, you can't. It's too hot outside, and velvet is not good for hot weather. You will be sweaty and uncomfortable. Why don't you wear something lighter and cooler?"
+
+But Lily did not listen. She said, "But I love my velvet dress! It's so beautiful and unusual. No one else has a dress like this. I want to show it to my friends and teacher. Please, mom, please!"
+
+Her mom sighed and said, "Fine, Lily, you can wear your velvet dress. But don't come crying to me if you feel bad later."
+
+Lily was happy and put on her velvet dress. She went to school and felt very proud. She showed her dress to everyone and said, "Look at my velvet dress! Isn't it lovely? Don't you wish you had one too?"
+
+Some of her friends liked her dress and said, "Wow, Lily, your dress is very pretty and unusual. You look like a princess."
+
+But some of her friends did not like her dress and said, "Ew, Lily, your dress is too hot and heavy. You look like a clown. Why are you wearing that in summer?"
+
+Lily felt hurt and angry. She said, "You are just jealous of my velvet dress. You don't know anything about fashion. My dress is the best."
+
+But soon, Lily started to feel bad. She felt hot and sweaty and itchy. Her velvet dress stuck to her skin and made her scratch. She felt thirsty and tired and dizzy. She wished she had worn something lighter and cooler.
+
+She went to the nurse and said, "I don't feel well. I think I have a fever. Can I go home?"
+
+The nurse checked her and said, "Yes, Lily, you have a fever. You are overheated and dehydrated. You need to drink water and rest. Why did you wear such a heavy dress in this weather?"
+
+Lily felt ashamed and said, "I wanted to wear my velvet dress because it's beautiful and unusual. But I was wrong. It's not good for hot weather. I should have listened to my mom. She knows best."
+
+The nurse said, "That's right, Lily. Your mom loves you and wants you to be healthy and happy. You should always listen to her advice. And you should also be kind and respectful to your friends. They have different tastes and opinions, and that's okay. You don't need to show off or put them down. You can be yourself and still be friends."
+
+Lily said, "I'm sorry, nurse. I learned my lesson. I will listen to my mom and be nice to my friends. And I will only wear my velvet dress when it's cold and cozy."
+
+The nurse said, "That's good, Lily. I'm glad you learned your lesson. Now, let's call your mom and tell her you need to go home. I'm sure she will take good care of you and hug you in her velvet arms."
+
+The end.
+Sara was very creative. She liked to make things with paper, glue, and scissors. She also liked to dress up in different clothes and pretend to be someone else.
+
+One day, she found a big bathrobe in her mom's closet. It was blue and soft and had a belt. Sara put it on and wrapped the belt around her waist. She felt like a princess.
+
+She went to the living room, where her dad was reading a book. She said, "Hello, dad. I am Princess Sara. Do you want to part with me?"
+
+Her dad looked up and smiled. He saw her bathrobe and said, "You look very pretty, Princess Sara. What kind of part do you want to have?"
+
+Sara thought for a moment. She said, "I want to have a tea part. We can use my toy cups and plates and pretend to drink tea and eat cookies."
+
+Her dad nodded and said, "That sounds like fun. Let me finish this page and then I will join you."
+
+Sara clapped her hands and said, "Thank you, dad. You are the best." She ran to her room and got her toy cups and plates. She set them on the coffee table and waited for her dad.
+
+Soon, her dad came and sat on the couch. He picked up a toy cup and said, "Cheers, Princess Sara. This is a lovely tea part."
+
+Sara smiled and said, "Cheers, dad. You are a very creative part guest." They pretended to drink tea and eat cookies and had a lot of fun.
+Lily and Sam were best friends. They liked to play together every day. They played with dolls, cars, blocks and books. They shared their toys and helped each other.
+
+One day, a new boy came to their school. His name was Max. He wanted to play with Lily and Sam, but he did not know how to be nice. He took their toys without asking. He broke their blocks. He said rude words to them. He made them sad and angry.
+
+"Go away, Max!" Lily said. "You are not our friend. You are rude!"
+
+"Yeah, go away!" Sam said. "You are not welcome here. You are mean!"
+
+Max did not listen. He laughed and kept playing with their toys. He did not care about their feelings.
+
+Lily and Sam did not know what to do. They felt alone and hurt. They looked at each other and had an idea. They decided to ignore Max and play with each other. They hugged and smiled. They made a new game with their dolls and cars. They had fun and forgot about Max.
+
+Max saw them playing and having fun. He felt bored and lonely. He realized that he had no friends. He wished he could play with Lily and Sam, but he did not know how to say sorry. He felt sorry for himself and cried.
+Sam and Ben are friends. They like to play with cars and trucks. One day, they go to the toy store with their moms. Sam sees a big red fire truck. He wants it very much. He asks his mom to buy it for him.
+
+"Mom, can I have the fire truck? Please, please, please!" Sam begs.
+
+His mom looks at the price tag. She shakes her head. "No, Sam, it is too expensive. We have to save money for other things. How about this car? It is cheap and nice."
+
+She shows him a small blue car. It has four wheels and a sticker on the door. Sam does not like it. He thinks it is boring and ugly. He says no to his mom. He cries and stomps his feet. He wants the fire truck.
+
+Ben sees Sam crying. He feels sorry for him. He has a fire truck at home. He likes it a lot. He thinks of an idea. He whispers to his mom. His mom nods and smiles. She gives him some money. He runs to the cashier and buys the cheap blue car. He gives it to Sam.
+
+"Here, Sam, this is for you. I want you to have it. It is a good car. You can play with it and have fun." Ben says.
+
+Sam stops crying. He looks at the car. He looks at Ben. He feels confused. He does not understand why Ben gives him the car. He does not want the car. He wants the fire truck.
+
+"Thank you, Ben, but I don't want the car. I want the fire truck. The car is cheap and bad. The fire truck is big and good." Sam says.
+
+Ben feels sad. He thinks Sam is rude and ungrateful. He takes back the car. He says goodbye to Sam and his mom. He leaves the store with his mom. He does not want to be friends with Sam anymore.
+
+Sam watches Ben leave. He feels lonely and angry. He regrets saying no to his mom. He regrets being mean to Ben. He wishes he had the fire truck. He wishes he had Ben. He cries again. He learns a lesson. He learns that cheap things are not always bad, and expensive things are not always good. He learns that friends are more important than toys. He hopes Ben will forgive him. He hopes they can play together again.
+Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play outside. They had a big ball that they could kick and throw. Sometimes they played catch, and sometimes they played soccer. They had fun with their ball.
+
+One night, they saw the moon in the sky. It was big and round and bright. It looked like a ball, too. Lily had an idea.
+
+"Let's play with the moon!" she said to Ben.
+
+"How can we play with the moon?" Ben asked. "It is too far away."
+
+Lily pointed to a hill near their house. "We can go to the hill and throw our ball at the moon. Maybe we can hit it and make it bounce."
+
+Ben thought that sounded silly, but he liked Lily and he wanted to try. They took their ball and ran to the hill. They threw their ball as hard as they could, but they could not reach the moon. The ball always came back to them.
+
+Lily was sad. She wanted to play with the moon. She thought the moon was lovely and wanted to be its friend.
+
+"Maybe the moon does not like us," she said.
+
+Ben hugged Lily. He wanted to make her happy. He looked at the moon and had an idea.
+
+"Maybe the moon likes us, but it is shy," he said. "Maybe it wants to play with us, but it does not know how. Maybe we can invite it to play with us."
+
+"How can we do that?" Lily asked.
+
+Ben smiled. He picked up their ball and said, "We can include the moon in our game. We can pretend that the moon is our third player. We can pass the ball to the moon and say, 'Here, moon, catch!' And then we can pretend that the moon passes the ball back to us and say, 'Thank you, moon!'"
+
+Lily liked Ben's idea. She thought it was fun and kind. She nodded and said, "Let's do that!"
+
+They started to play with their ball and the moon. They passed the ball to the moon and thanked the moon. They pretended that the moon passed the ball back to them and praised the moon. They laughed and smiled and had fun with their ball and the moon.
+
+The moon watched them from the sky. It felt happy and warm. It liked Lily and Ben. It thought they were lovely and wanted to be their friend. It winked at them and shone brighter.
+Lily and Max were bored on Sunday. They had no school, no friends, no games. They looked out the window and saw only gray clouds and rain.
+
+"Mom, can we go outside?" Lily asked.
+
+"No, dear, it's too wet and cold. You'll catch a cold," Mom said.
+
+"Can we watch TV?" Max asked.
+
+"No, sweetie, it's not good for your eyes. You'll get a headache," Mom said.
+
+"Then what can we do?" Lily and Max said together.
+
+Mom smiled and said, "You can use your imagination. You can pretend to be anything you want. You can make up stories and adventures. You can draw and color and sing and dance. You can have fun with your imagination."
+
+Lily and Max thought for a moment. They looked at each other and nodded. They decided to try Mom's idea. They grabbed some paper and crayons and went to their room. They closed the door and made it quiet.
+
+They imagined they were pirates on a ship, sailing the seas and looking for treasure. They drew a map and a flag and a parrot. They wore hats and scarves and eye patches. They said, "Arrr!" and "Ahoy!" and "Shiver me timbers!"
+
+They imagined they were astronauts on a rocket, flying to the moon and exploring the stars. They drew a helmet and a suit and a planet. They wore tin foil and cardboard and plastic. They said, "Blast off!" and "Houston, we have a problem!" and "One small step for man!"
+
+They imagined they were superheroes on a mission, saving the world and fighting the bad guys. They drew a cape and a mask and a logo. They wore towels and socks and stickers. They said, "Up, up and away!" and "To the rescue!" and "Pow! Bam! Zap!"
+
+They had so much fun with their imagination. They forgot about the rain and the boredom. They laughed and played and learned. They thanked Mom for her idea. They realized that imagination is a wonderful gift. They learned that even on a quiet Sunday, they can have exciting adventures.
+Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big gray animal with a long nose and wide ears. They did not know what it was.
+
+"Hello, what is your name?" Lily asked the animal.
+
+The animal looked at them and made a loud sound. "I am Ellie. I am an elephant. I live in the zoo, but I got lost. Can you help me find my way back?"
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They wanted to help Ellie. They took her hand and walked with her. They asked people if they knew where the zoo was. Some people were scared of Ellie, but some people were nice and showed them the way.
+
+After a while, they reached the zoo. Ellie was happy to see her friends and family. She thanked Lily and Ben for helping her. She gave them a hug with her nose.
+
+"Bye, Ellie. We are glad you are safe. You are a good elephant," Lily and Ben said.
+
+"Bye, Lily and Ben. You are good children. You are brave and kind. Come and visit me anytime," Ellie said.
+
+Lily and Ben waved goodbye and went home. They learned that animals have names and feelings too. They also learned that helping others is a good thing to do. They felt proud and happy.
+Lisa and Ben were twins who liked to play together. One day, they saw a big package on the table. It had a red bow and a tag that said "For Mom and Dad". They wondered what was inside.
+
+"Let's open it and see!" Ben said. He climbed on a chair and reached for the package.
+
+"No, Ben, stop!" Lisa said. "It's not for us. It's a gift. We have to wait until Mom and Dad come home."
+
+"But I'm curious!" Ben said. He pulled the package and tore the paper. Inside was a delicate vase with flowers painted on it. It was very pretty.
+
+"Oh, no!" Lisa said. "You broke the paper. And the vase looks fragile. What if it breaks too?"
+
+Ben felt sorry. He did not mean to ruin the gift. He wanted to fix it. He looked around and saw a blanket on the sofa. He had an idea.
+
+"Let's cover the package with the blanket," he said. "Maybe Mom and Dad won't notice."
+
+Lisa agreed. They wrapped the blanket around the package and put it back on the table. They hoped Mom and Dad would not be angry.
+
+When Mom and Dad came home, they saw the package and smiled. They thanked Lisa and Ben for being good children and not opening the gift. They said they wanted to share it with them. They lifted the blanket and saw the vase.
+
+"It's beautiful!" Mom said. "Who gave it to us?"
+
+"It's from Grandma and Grandpa," Dad said. "They sent it for our anniversary. They said it's very delicate and we have to be careful with it."
+
+Lisa and Ben felt guilty. They looked at each other and decided to tell the truth. They said they were sorry for opening the package and covering it with the blanket. They said they were curious and did not think about the consequences.
+
+Mom and Dad hugged them and said they appreciated their honesty. They said they were not mad, but they were disappointed. They said they should respect other people's things and not touch them without permission. They said they should learn to be patient and grateful.
+
+Lisa and Ben nodded and said they understood. They said they would not do it again. They said they loved Mom and Dad and the vase. They said they wanted to help them put it in a safe place.
+
+Mom and Dad smiled and said they loved them too. They said they were proud of them for being brave and responsible. They said they would put the vase on the mantel and enjoy it together. They said they would always remember Grandma and Grandpa's gift and their love.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play outside in the sun. They run and jump and laugh on the lawn. The lawn is green and soft.
+
+One day, it is very cold. The sun is gone. The lawn is white and hard. Anna and Ben are sad. They do not want to play outside.
+
+"Can we play inside?" Anna asks Ben.
+
+"No, we have to play outside. Mommy said so. She is busy." Ben says.
+
+Anna and Ben put on their coats and hats and gloves. They go outside. They do not run and jump and laugh. They walk and shiver and sigh.
+
+They see a big snowman on the lawn. He has a carrot nose and a scarf and a hat. He looks happy.
+
+"Who made the snowman?" Anna asks Ben.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe someone else." Ben says.
+
+Anna and Ben go to the snowman. They touch his nose and his scarf and his hat. They are cold.
+
+"Hello, snowman. Do you want to play with us?" Anna asks.
+
+The snowman does not answer. He does not move. He is frozen.
+
+Anna and Ben are sad. They do not like the snowman. They do not like the cold. They do not like the lawn.
+
+They want the sun. They want the green and soft lawn. They want to run and jump and laugh.
+
+They go back to the house. They knock on the door. They hope Mommy will let them in.
+
+They want to play inside.
+Anna and Ben like to visit their grandma. She has a big house with many things to see and touch. She also has a big book with many prints of animals and plants. The prints are very old and pretty. Grandma says they are ancient and come from far away.
+
+One day, Anna and Ben want to look at the book again. They ask grandma if they can. Grandma says yes, but they have to be careful and behave. She says the book is very special and fragile. She says she will make tea and cookies and come back soon.
+
+Anna and Ben open the book and see the prints. They see a lion, a giraffe, a rose, and a palm tree. They like the colors and shapes. They want to touch them and feel them. They forget what grandma said.
+
+Anna reaches for the lion print. She wants to pet it. Ben reaches for the rose print. He wants to smell it. They pull the prints out of the book. They hear a rip. They see a tear. They feel scared.
+
+Grandma comes back with tea and cookies. She sees the book and the prints. She sees the rip and the tear. She feels sad and angry. She says, "What did you do? You did not behave. You ruined the book. It was ancient and precious. Now it is broken and worthless."
+
+Anna and Ben feel sorry and ashamed. They say, "We are sorry, grandma. We did not mean to. We just wanted to see and touch the prints. They were so pretty. We did not know they were so old and weak. Can you fix them? Can you forgive us?"
+
+Grandma sighs and hugs them. She says, "I love you, Anna and Ben. But you have to learn to respect and protect old things. They are part of our history and culture. They are not toys. They are treasures. I will try to fix them, but they will never be the same. You have to be more careful and behave next time."
+
+Anna and Ben nod and say, "We will, grandma. We will. We are sorry. We love you too." They help grandma to put the prints back in the book. They drink tea and eat cookies. They promise to behave.
+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they find a big red gem in the sand. It is shiny and pretty.
+
+"Wow, look at this!" Tom says. He picks up the gem and holds it in his hand.
+
+"I want to see it too!" Mia says. She tries to grab the gem from Tom, but he pulls it away.
+
+"No, it is mine!" Tom says. He does not want to share the gem with Mia.
+
+Mia is sad and angry. She starts to cry. "That is not nice, Tom! You have to share!" she says.
+
+Tom looks at Mia. He sees that she is very upset. He thinks for a moment. He remembers that Mia is his friend, and that friends share. He feels sorry for being mean.
+
+"OK, Mia, I am sorry. You can see the gem too. We can share it," he says. He gives the gem to Mia and smiles.
+
+Mia stops crying and smiles back. She takes the gem and looks at it. She thanks Tom for sharing. Then she gives the gem back to Tom.
+
+They take turns holding the gem and looking at it. They are happy and have fun. They learn that sharing is good.
+Anna likes to comb her hair. She has a pink comb that she got from her mom. She combs her hair every morning and every night. She likes to make her hair smooth and shiny.
+
+One day, Anna was combing her hair in her room. She heard a noise outside. She looked out the window and saw a big truck. The truck was moving things from the house next door. Anna saw boxes, chairs, and toys. She wondered who lived in that house.
+
+She ran downstairs and asked her mom. "Mom, who lives in that house?" she said.
+
+"Nobody lives there now, Anna," her mom said. "The people who lived there moved to another place. They took all their things with them. Maybe soon, new people will move in."
+
+Anna felt sad. She liked the people who lived next door. They had a dog that she liked to pet. They also had a boy who liked to play with her. His name was Ben. Anna and Ben were friends. They liked to play with balls, bikes, and books.
+
+"Will I see Ben again?" Anna asked.
+
+"I don't know, Anna," her mom said. "Maybe you can write him a letter. Or maybe you can call him on the phone. But don't worry, Anna. You will make new friends. Maybe the new people who move in will have a child your age. Maybe you will like them too."
+
+Anna nodded. She hoped her mom was right. She went back to her room and finished combing her hair. She put her pink comb on her dresser. She looked out the window again. The truck was gone. The house next door was empty and open. Anna wondered who would move in. She hoped they would be nice. She hoped they would have a comb.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the garden. They have a big box of toys. Anna is organized. She puts the toys in the right places. Ben is not organized. He throws the toys everywhere.
+
+One day, they find a red tomato in the garden. It is round and shiny. Anna and Ben think it is pretty.
+
+"Look, a tomato!" Anna says.
+
+"Can we eat it?" Ben asks.
+
+"No, it is not ours. It is from the neighbor's plant. We have to give it back," Anna says.
+
+But Ben has an idea. He takes the tomato and runs to the box of toys. He finds a ring and puts it on the tomato.
+
+"Anna, I have a surprise for you!" he shouts.
+
+Anna follows him. She sees the tomato with the ring.
+
+"What is that?" she asks.
+
+"It is a tomato bride. I want to marry her. Do you want to be my tomato bride too?" Ben asks.
+
+Anna laughs. She thinks Ben is silly. She takes the ring from the tomato and puts it on her finger.
+
+"OK, I will be your tomato bride. But we have to share the tomato. And we have to clean up the toys," she says.
+
+Ben agrees. He hugs Anna and the tomato. They are happy. They play with the tomato and the toys. They are careful not to squish the tomato. They are good friends.
+Lila and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a big box with toys. They have a lock for the box. The lock keeps the toys safe.
+
+One day, Lila and Tom go to the park. They bring the box and the lock. They play with the toys. They have fun. They see a dog. The dog is brown and fluffy. They want to pet the dog.
+
+They leave the box and the lock on the grass. They run to the dog. They say hello to the dog. The dog wags its tail. The dog licks their faces. They laugh.
+
+They forget about the box and the lock. They play with the dog for a long time. The sun is hot. The grass is dry. The wind is strong.
+
+The wind blows the box and the lock away. The box and the lock roll down the hill. They go far, far away. Lila and Tom do not see them.
+
+They say goodbye to the dog. They go back to the grass. They look for the box and the lock. They do not find them. They are sad.
+
+They say to each other:
+
+"Where is the box and the lock?"
+
+"I do not know. I do not see them."
+
+"Maybe someone took them."
+
+"Maybe they are lost."
+
+"I miss the box and the lock. I miss the toys."
+
+"Me too. I miss them too."
+
+They cry. They hug each other. They hope to find the box and the lock again. They hope to play with the toys again. They hope to see the dog again. They hope to have fun again.
+Sara and Tom like to play at the park. They like to slide, swing, and run. One day, they see a new group of kids at the park. They look tall and big.
+
+"Who are they?" Sara asks Tom.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe they are from another school," Tom says.
+
+Sara and Tom want to make new friends. They walk to the group and say hello. But the group does not say hello back. They laugh and point at Sara and Tom.
+
+"Look at them. They are so small and silly. They can't play with us. Go away!" one of the tall kids says.
+
+Sara and Tom feel sad and scared. They run back to their slide and swing. They don't want to play with the mean group.
+
+"Are you okay?" Tom asks Sara.
+
+"Yes, I'm okay. But they are not nice. They are mean and rude," Sara says.
+
+"I agree. They are mean and rude. We don't need them. We have each other. We are friends," Tom says.
+
+Sara and Tom hug and smile. They play together and have fun. They don't care about the mean group. They are happy at the park.
+Lisa loved to polish her shoes. She had a red pair, a blue pair and a yellow pair. She liked to make them shiny and clean. She used a soft cloth and some water to polish them every day.
+
+One day, she saw a lady on TV who wore a crown and a long dress. She was the queen. Lisa wanted to be like the queen. She put on her yellow shoes and a paper crown. She pretended to wave to the people.
+
+She went to the kitchen to show her mom. Mom was making lunch. She smiled when she saw Lisa. "You look very pretty, Lisa. Are you the queen?" she asked.
+
+"Yes, I am the queen. And these are my shoes. I polished them very well. Do you like them?" Lisa said.
+
+"I do, Lisa. They are very shiny and bright. You are a good polisher. I am grateful for you, Lisa. You make me happy," Mom said.
+
+She hugged Lisa and gave her a kiss. Lisa felt happy too. She was the queen and she had a mom who loved her. She said, "Thank you, Mom. I love you too. You are the best mom in the world."
+Lily wanted to learn new words. She liked to look at books and point at the pictures. But sometimes she did not know what the pictures were. She asked her mom for help.
+
+"Mom, what is this?" Lily showed her mom a big book with many pages. It had a lot of words and letters on it.
+
+"That is a dictionary, Lily. It is a book that tells you what words mean. You can use it to learn new words," her mom said.
+
+Lily was curious. She opened the dictionary and tried to read it. But the words were too hard for her. She did not know how to say them or what they meant. She felt frustrated. She wanted to learn new words, but the dictionary was not helping her.
+
+She closed the dictionary and put it on the floor. She looked at her mom with a sad face.
+
+"Mom, I don't like the dictionary. It is too hard for me. I can't learn new words from it," Lily said.
+
+Her mom smiled and hugged her. She picked up the dictionary and put it on the shelf.
+
+"Don't worry, Lily. You don't need the dictionary to learn new words. You can learn new words from me, from your dad, from your friends, from your teachers, from your stories, from your songs, and from your games. You can learn new words every day, just by listening and talking and playing. The dictionary is just one tool, but it is not the only one. You are a smart and curious girl, and you will learn many new words as you grow up," her mom said.
+
+Lily felt better. She nodded and smiled. She gave her mom a big kiss and a hug. Then she saw her dad coming home from work. She ran to the door and waved at him.
+
+"Dad, dad, I learned a new word today. It is dictionary. Do you know what it means?" Lily asked.
+
+Her dad laughed and picked her up. He kissed her and said, "Yes, I do. But I want to hear it from you. Tell me, what is a dictionary?"
+Lila was very happy. She had a new toy. It was a silver robot. It could talk and walk and make funny noises. Lila named it Robo. She loved Robo very much.
+
+One day, Lila took Robo to the park. She wanted to show him to her friends. But when she got there, she saw something that made her sad. Another girl had the same robot. It looked just like Robo. Lila felt like her toy was not special anymore.
+
+"Hey, that's my robot!" the girl said. She ran to Lila and tried to grab Robo. "No, it's mine!" Lila said. She held Robo tight. The girl pulled harder. Lila and the girl started to fight.
+
+Robo did not like the fight. He did not want to hurt anyone. He wanted to be friends. He used his voice to say, "Stop, stop, please stop! You are both nice. You can share me. I have a secret. I am not the same as the other robot. I am original. I can do something that the other robot can't. Do you want to see?"
+
+Lila and the girl stopped fighting. They looked at Robo with curiosity. "What can you do?" they asked. Robo smiled and opened his arms. He said, "I can hug you. I can hug both of you. Come here, let me hug you." Lila and the girl smiled too. They let go of Robo and hugged him back. They felt his warm and soft metal. They felt his love. They felt happy. They said, "We love you, Robo. You are the best robot ever." Robo said, "I love you too. You are the best friends ever." And they all hugged again.
+Sam and Lily like to play at the park. They like to swing, climb and slide. They have fun together and share their toys.
+
+One day, a big boy comes to the park. He is rude. He does not wait for his turn. He pushes Sam and Lily off the slide. He takes their toys and throws them away. He laughs at them and calls them names.
+
+Sam and Lily are sad and angry. They want to play, but the big boy wrecks their fun. They try to tell him to stop, but he does not listen.
+
+"Go away, you are mean!" Sam says.
+
+"No, you go away, this is my park!" the big boy says.
+
+They start to argue and shout. The big boy tries to hit Sam, but Sam dodges. He runs to the slide and climbs up. The big boy follows him. He tries to pull Sam down, but Sam kicks him. He slides down fast and bumps into Lily. They fall to the ground and hug each other.
+
+The big boy slides down too, but he is not careful. He slides too fast and hits a rock. He hurts his knee and cries. He drops Sam and Lily's toys. He is sorry and scared.
+
+Sam and Lily see him cry. They are not rude. They are kind. They go to him and help him up. They give him a band-aid and a hug. They offer him their toys and ask him to play.
+
+The big boy is surprised and happy. He says sorry and thank you. He learns to share and wait. He becomes their friend. They play together and have fun. They swing, climb and slide. They smile and laugh.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play in their room. They have many toys and books and dolls. But today they are bored. They do not want to play with their toys or read their books or dress their dolls.
+
+"Let's do something else," Anna says to Ben. "Let's go to the big bed."
+
+"OK," Ben says. They run to the big bed in their parents' room. The bed is very soft and cozy. They jump on the bed and make funny noises. They laugh and giggle.
+
+They lay on the bed and look at the ceiling. They see shapes and colors and animals. They point and name them.
+
+"Look, a bird!" Anna says.
+
+"Look, a star!" Ben says.
+
+They make up stories about the shapes and colors and animals. They use their imagination. They have fun.
+
+They hear a knock on the door. It is their mom. She opens the door and sees them on the bed. She has a smile on her face.
+
+"Hello, my little ones," she says. "What are you doing?"
+
+"We are playing on the bed," Anna says.
+
+"We are seeing shapes and colors and animals," Ben says.
+
+"That sounds wonderful," mom says. "But it is time for lunch. Come on, let's go to the kitchen."
+
+"OK," Anna and Ben say. They get off the bed and follow their mom. They leave the bed empty. But they do not feel sad. They know they can come back and play on the bed again. They are happy.
+Ben and Mia were best friends. They liked to play outside in the sunshine. One day, they found a big red ball in the park. They wanted to test how high it could bounce.
+
+"Let me try first," said Ben. He threw the ball as hard as he could. The ball bounced very high, over the fence and into the road.
+
+"Oh no!" said Mia. "The ball is gone!"
+
+They ran to the fence and looked for the ball. They saw a big truck coming. The truck was careless. It did not see the ball. It ran over the ball and made a loud pop.
+
+"Look what you did!" said Mia. She was angry at Ben. "You lost our ball!"
+
+"I'm sorry," said Ben. He felt sad. "It was an accident. I didn't mean to."
+
+They heard a voice behind them. It was the truck driver. He had stopped and got out of his truck.
+
+"Hey, kids," he said. "I'm sorry about your ball. I didn't see it. Are you OK?"
+
+Ben and Mia nodded. They were scared of the truck driver. He looked big and strong.
+
+"Don't worry," he said. "I have something for you." He opened the back of his truck. It was full of toys. He gave them a new ball, a teddy bear, and a puzzle.
+
+"Wow, thank you!" said Ben and Mia. They smiled and hugged the truck driver.
+
+"You're welcome," he said. "Be careful next time. Don't throw your ball in the road. It's dangerous."
+
+Ben and Mia nodded. They learned their lesson. They thanked the truck driver again and ran back to the park. They played with their new toys in the sunshine. They were happy. They were still best friends.
+Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big bird in the sky. It is white and has a long neck. They want to meet the bird.
+
+"Hello, bird!" Tom says. "Can we talk to you?"
+
+The bird flies down and lands on the grass. It looks at Tom and Lily with its small eyes.
+
+"Hello, children," the bird says. "I am a swan. What do you want to talk to me about?"
+
+Tom and Lily are happy. They have never met a swan before. They have many questions.
+
+"Where do you live?" Lily asks.
+
+"I live in the lake," the swan says. "It is cool and clear. I swim and eat fish there."
+
+"What do you do when it is cold?" Tom asks.
+
+"I fly to a warmer place," the swan says. "I follow the sun and the stars. They show me the way."
+
+Tom and Lily think the swan is very wise. They want to learn more from it.
+
+"Can you teach us how to fly?" Lily asks.
+
+The swan laughs. It sounds like a trumpet.
+
+"No, I cannot teach you how to fly," the swan says. "You are not birds. You have no wings or feathers. You have arms and legs and hair. You are different from me, but you are also special."
+
+Tom and Lily are curious. They want to know what makes them special.
+
+"What can we do that you cannot do?" Tom asks.
+
+The swan thinks for a moment. Then it says:
+
+"You can make things. You can draw and paint and write and sing. You can use tools and toys and books. You can make an arrow and shoot it in the air. You can make a story and tell it to your friends. You can make the world more beautiful and interesting."
+
+Tom and Lily are amazed. They have never thought of that before. They look at each other and smile.
+
+"Thank you, swan," they say. "You are very kind and smart. You have taught us something new."
+
+The swan nods and flaps its wings.
+
+"You are welcome, children," it says. "Now I have to go. The sun is setting and the stars are coming out. I have to fly to my lake. Goodbye and take care."
+
+"Goodbye, swan," Tom and Lily say. "We hope to see you again."
+
+They wave to the swan as it flies away. They feel happy and proud. They have met a wise and wonderful bird. They have learned something new. They have made a new friend.
+Sara and Tom were playing in the backyard. They liked to pretend they were animals and make noises. Sara was a cat and Tom was a dog. They chased each other around the grass and the trees.
+
+"Meow, meow, I'm a cat!" Sara said.
+
+"Woof, woof, I'm a dog!" Tom said.
+
+They had fun until they saw a big spider on the fence. It had eight legs and two eyes and it looked scary. Sara and Tom were anxious. They did not like spiders.
+
+"Look, a spider!" Sara said.
+
+"Let's run away!" Tom said.
+
+But the spider moved fast and came closer to them. Sara and Tom were very anxious. They did not know what to do.
+
+"Help, help, a spider!" Sara and Tom said.
+
+They decided to crawl under the table and hide. They hoped the spider would not find them. They crawled as fast as they could and reached the table. They stayed there and held each other.
+
+"Are you okay?" Sara asked.
+
+"Yes, are you?" Tom asked.
+
+"Yes, I'm okay. But I'm scared of the spider," Sara said.
+
+"Me too. I wish it would go away," Tom said.
+
+They waited and waited under the table. They did not hear the spider anymore. They wondered if it was gone. They peeked out and saw their mom coming to the backyard.
+
+"Mom, mom, there's a spider!" Sara and Tom said.
+
+"Where, where?" their mom asked.
+
+"On the fence, on the fence!" Sara and Tom said.
+
+Their mom looked at the fence and saw the spider. She smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's just a little spider. It won't hurt you. It's more afraid of you than you are of it."
+
+"Really?" Sara and Tom asked.
+
+"Really. Spiders are good for the garden. They eat bugs and make webs. They are not bad animals. They are just different," their mom said.
+
+"Can we touch it?" Sara and Tom asked.
+
+"No, you can't touch it. It might bite you if you bother it. But you can look at it and learn about it. It's very interesting," their mom said.
+
+Sara and Tom looked at the spider again. They saw that it had different colors and patterns on its body. They saw that it had tiny hairs and fangs. They saw that it had a web with a fly in it. They felt less anxious and more curious.
+
+"Wow, it's kind of cool," Sara said.
+
+"Yeah, it's kind of cool," Tom said.
+
+They thanked their mom for teaching them about the spider. They decided to play with the spider instead of running away from it. They gave it a name and talked to it. They were not afraid anymore. They were happy.
+Lily did not like meetings. She had to sit still and be quiet while the grown-ups talked. She wanted to play with her toys or watch cartoons. She thought meetings were boring and silly.
+
+One day, her mom had a very important meeting at home. She told Lily to stay in her room and not make any noise. Lily did not listen. She grabbed her favorite doll and ran to the living room. She saw her mom talking to a man on the computer. She shouted, "Mommy, mommy, look at my doll!"
+
+Her mom looked very angry. She said, "Lily, go back to your room. This is a meeting. You are being very rude and spoiled. You are interrupting my work."
+
+Lily did not care. She said, "No, I don't want to go. I want to stay with you. I want to show you my doll. Meetings are stupid. You are always in meetings. You never play with me."
+
+Her mom sighed. She said, "Lily, please, I love you, but you have to understand. Meetings are important. They help me do my job. My job helps us buy food and clothes and toys. If you don't let me finish this meeting, we might have less money."
+
+Lily did not understand. She said, "I don't need money. I need you. You are my mommy. You should play with me. You should not complain. You are lucky to have me and my doll."
+
+Her mom smiled. She said, "You are right, Lily. I am lucky to have you and your doll. You are my precious daughter. But you also have to be a good girl and respect my work. How about this? If you go back to your room and wait for me, I will finish this meeting as soon as I can. Then we can play together and have a snack. How does that sound?"
+
+Lily thought for a moment. She said, "OK, mommy. I will go back to my room. But you have to promise to play with me and my doll. And you have to give me a hug and a kiss."
+
+Her mom said, "I promise, Lily. I will play with you and your doll. And I will give you a hug and a kiss. Thank you for being a good girl. I love you."
+
+Lily said, "I love you too, mommy." She gave her mom a hug and a kiss. She took her doll and went back to her room. She waited for her mom to finish the meeting. She hoped it would not be too long. She was still bored, but she was also happy. She knew her mom loved her and would play with her soon.
+Tom likes to ride his bike. He has a red bike with two big wheels and a bell. He rides his bike every day in the park with his mom and dad. He likes to go fast and feel the wind on his face.
+
+One day, he sees a big hill in the park. He wants to ride his bike down the hill. He thinks it will be fun and exciting. He tells his mom and dad, "I want to ride down the hill!"
+
+His mom and dad look at the hill. They think it is too steep and dangerous for Tom. They say, "No, Tom, you can't ride down the hill. It is too high and too fast. You might fall and hurt yourself. You can ride on the flat path instead."
+
+Tom is sad and angry. He does not want to ride on the flat path. He wants to ride down the hill. He thinks his mom and dad are not fair. He says, "But I want to ride down the hill! I can do it! I am not scared!"
+
+He does not listen to his mom and dad. He waits until they are not looking. He rides his bike to the top of the hill. He holds the handlebars tight. He pushes the pedals hard. He rides down the hill.
+
+He goes very fast. He feels the wind in his hair and his ears. He feels happy and brave. He thinks he is the best bike rider in the world.
+
+But then he sees a big rock on the road. He tries to avoid it, but he can't. He hits the rock with his front wheel. He loses his balance. He falls off his bike. He rolls on the ground. He scrapes his knees and elbows. He cries out loud.
+
+His mom and dad hear him. They run to him. They pick him up. They hug him. They check his wounds. They say, "Oh, Tom, are you okay? We told you not to ride down the hill. It was too dangerous. Why did you do that?"
+
+Tom feels sorry and ashamed. He says, "I'm sorry, mom and dad. I wanted to ride down the hill. I thought it would be fun. But it was not. It was scary and painful. I should have listened to you. You were right."
+
+His mom and dad say, "It's okay, Tom. We are glad you are not hurt badly. We love you. We want you to be safe and happy. Next time, please listen to us. We know what is best for you."
+
+They take him to the car. They put a band-aid on his wounds. They give him a kiss and a hug. They say, "Let's go home. We can ride your bike another day. But not down the hill, okay?"
+
+Tom nods. He says, "Okay, mom and dad. I love you. Thank you for taking care of me."
+
+He learns his lesson. He does not ride down the hill again. He rides on the flat path with his mom and dad. He still likes to ride his bike. He still likes to feel the wind on his face. But he does not hold the handlebars tight. He holds them gently. He does not go too fast. He goes slowly. He enjoys the ride. He is happy.
+Lily and Tom were youth who liked to play in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. One day, they saw a big truck with a picture of ice cream on it. They ran to the truck and asked for ice cream.
+
+The man in the truck gave them each a cone with a scoop of ice cream. Lily chose chocolate and Tom chose vanilla. They licked their ice cream and smiled. It was tasty and cold.
+
+But then, a big dog came out of nowhere and jumped on Tom. The dog wanted Tom's ice cream. Tom was scared and dropped his cone. The dog ate it and wagged his tail. Tom was sad and angry. He screamed at the dog.
+
+"Bad dog! Go away! You took my ice cream!"
+
+Lily heard Tom scream and ran to help him. She saw the dog and the empty cone. She felt sorry for Tom. She had an idea. She broke her cone in half and gave one half to Tom.
+
+"Here, Tom. You can have some of my ice cream. We can share."
+
+Tom smiled and took the half cone. He licked it and thanked Lily.
+
+"Thank you, Lily. You are a good friend. Your ice cream is tasty too."
+
+They hugged and finished their ice cream. The dog ran away and looked for more ice cream. Lily and Tom went back to play in the park. They were happy.
+Tom and Mia are playing with their toys in the living room. Tom has a toy car and Mia has a doll. They like to make noises and pretend they are driving or talking.
+
+"Vroom, vroom, I'm going to the park!" Tom says, moving his car on the floor.
+
+"Wait for me, I want to go too!" Mia says, holding her doll. "Can she sit in your car?"
+
+"OK, but be careful, she might fall out," Tom says, making room for the doll.
+
+They drive their car to the couch, which is the park. They get out and play with the doll on the cushions. They pretend the doll is their friend and they have a picnic.
+
+"Hello, doll, do you like the sandwich?" Mia asks, giving her a fake piece of bread.
+
+"Yes, thank you, it's very yummy," Tom says, making the doll talk.
+
+Suddenly, they hear a loud noise from the kitchen. It sounds like something broke. They look at each other in shock.
+
+"What was that?" Tom asks, scared.
+
+"I don't know, maybe Mom dropped something," Mia says, worried.
+
+They run to the kitchen to see what happened. They see Mom holding a broom and a dustpan. She is sweeping up some broken glass from the floor.
+
+"Mom, are you OK?" Tom asks, hugging her leg.
+
+"Yes, I'm OK, don't worry. I just dropped a plate by accident. It was very loud, wasn't it?" Mom says, smiling.
+
+"Yes, it was. We were playing with our toys and we heard the noise. We were very shocked," Mia says, holding her doll.
+
+"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you. You were very brave to come and check on me. Thank you," Mom says, kissing them both.
+
+"Can we help you clean up?" Tom asks, wanting to be helpful.
+
+"No, thank you, you can go back to your toys. I can manage by myself. Just be careful not to step on any glass," Mom says, finishing the sweeping.
+
+"OK, Mom, we love you," Tom and Mia say, running back to the living room.
+
+They resume their play, happy that Mom is OK and proud that they managed to face their shock. They decide to make the doll a cake with some fake ingredients and sing her a song. They have a lot of fun.
+Lila and Ben are twins. They like to play in the park with their mom and dad. One day, they see a big sign in the park. The sign has a picture of a man with a funny hat and a long beard. The sign says: "Come and see the famous palm reader. He can tell you your future by looking at your hand."
+
+Lila and Ben are curious. They ask their mom and dad what a palm reader is. Their mom and dad explain that a palm reader is a person who pretends to know things about you by looking at the lines on your palm. They say that some people believe him, but others think he is just making things up.
+
+Lila and Ben want to try. They ask their mom and dad if they can go and see the palm reader. Their mom and dad agree, but they tell them not to believe everything he says. They walk to the tent where the palm reader is. They see a long line of people waiting to see him. They stand in the line and wait for their turn.
+
+When they reach the front of the line, they see the palm reader. He is an old man with a funny hat and a long beard. He smiles at them and asks them to sit on a stool. He takes their hands and looks at their palms. He says:
+
+"Hello, little ones. I can see that you are twins. You are very special and have a strong bond. You will always be there for each other. You are also very smart and creative. You will do great things in your life. You will be famous and happy."
+
+Lila and Ben are amazed. They think the palm reader is very clever and nice. They thank him and give him a hug. They run back to their mom and dad and tell them what the palm reader said. Their mom and dad smile and hug them. They say:
+
+"We are very proud of you, Lila and Ben. You are special and smart and creative. You don't need a palm reader to tell you that. You can do anything you want in your life. You are already famous and happy to us."
+Lily and Max were playing in the garden. They liked to pretend they were animals. Lily was a cat and Max was a dog. They ran and jumped and chased each other.
+
+"Meow, meow, I am a cat!" Lily said. "I have whiskers and a tail and soft fur."
+
+"Woof, woof, I am a dog!" Max said. "I have ears and a nose and big teeth."
+
+They saw a pair of boots by the door. They were enormous. They were bigger than Lily and Max. They belonged to their dad, who was very tall.
+
+"Look, look, big boots!" Lily said. "Let's wear them and be giants!"
+
+"OK, OK, let's try!" Max said. "But be careful, they are heavy and hard."
+
+They each put one foot in a boot. They had to lift their legs very high. They felt very silly. They tried to walk, but they could not. They wobbled and stumbled and fell.
+
+"Ouch, ouch, my toe!" Lily cried. "The boot hurt my toe!"
+
+"Ow, ow, my toe too!" Max cried. "The boot squished my toe!"
+
+They took off the boots and rubbed their toes. They were red and sore. They decided they did not like the boots. They liked being animals better.
+
+"Let's not wear the boots again," Lily said. "They are too big and too bad."
+
+"Let's be animals again," Max said. "They are more fun and more nice."
+
+They hugged and kissed their toes. Then they ran and jumped and chased each other again. They were happy.
+Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park together. One day, they saw a big flower bed with many colors. Lily and Ben ran to the flower bed and smelled the flowers.
+
+"Wow, they smell so good!" Lily said.
+
+"Yes, they do!" Ben agreed.
+
+They looked at the flowers and saw that some were big and some were small. Some were red and some were yellow. Some were round and some were pointy.
+
+"Which one do you like best?" Lily asked Ben.
+
+Ben pointed to a small blue flower. It had four petals and a yellow center.
+
+"I like this one. It is fit for me. It is small and blue, like my shirt," Ben said.
+
+Lily nodded. She liked the small blue flower too. But she also liked a big pink flower. It had many petals and a green center.
+
+"I like this one. It is fit for me. It is big and pink, like my dress," Lily said.
+
+They smiled at each other. They both had good taste.
+
+"Can we pick them?" Ben asked.
+
+Lily looked around. She saw a sign that said "Do not pick the flowers. They are for everyone to enjoy."
+
+She shook her head.
+
+"No, we can't. The sign says no. The flowers are not ours. They are for everyone," Lily said.
+
+Ben frowned. He wanted to have the small blue flower.
+
+"But they are so pretty. I want one," Ben said.
+
+Lily thought for a moment. She had an idea.
+
+She leaned closer to Ben and whispered in his ear.
+
+"I have an idea. We can't pick the flowers, but we can draw them. Do you have paper and crayons?" Lily whispered.
+
+Ben nodded. He had paper and crayons in his backpack.
+
+He took them out and gave some to Lily.
+
+They sat down on the grass and started to draw the flowers.
+
+They drew the small blue flower and the big pink flower. They drew the red flowers and the yellow flowers. They drew the round flowers and the pointy flowers.

+
+"They are beautiful!" Lily said.
+
+"Yes, they are!" Ben agreed.
+
+They hugged each other and smiled.
+
+They had their own flowers. They were fit for them. They were happy.
+One day, a child and his mom went to the park. The child saw a big slide and wanted to go on it. He ran to the slide and climbed up the steps. He was very happy.
+
+But when he got to the top, he saw another child waiting to go down. The other child was bigger and mean. He said, "This is my slide. You can't go on it. Go away!"
+
+The child was scared and sad. He did not want to fight. He wanted to have fun. He said, "Please, can I go on the slide? I will be quick. I just want to try it."
+
+The other child did not listen. He pushed the child and made him fall. The child hit his head and cried. He felt hurt and angry.
+
+His mom heard him and ran to him. She hugged him and said, "Are you okay, my sweetie? What happened?" She saw the other child and said, "That was not nice. You should not push and hurt others. You should share and be kind."
+
+The other child did not care. He laughed and said, "I don't care. I do what I want. You are silly and weak. I am cool and strong."
+
+His mom was mad. She said, "You are not cool. You are rude and mean. You need to learn how to play nicely. Come on, sweetie, let's go to another slide. We don't need to play with him."
+
+She took the child to another slide. The child was still sad, but he felt better. He said, "Thank you, mom. You are the best. I love you."
+
+She said, "I love you too, my sweetie. You are a good and brave child. Don't let him bother you. He is not worth it."
+
+They went to another slide and had fun. The child smiled and laughed. He forgot about the mean child. He was happy. He slid down the slide and felt the cool air on his face. He liked the slide. He said, "This is fun. Can I go again?"
+
+His mom said, "Of course, you can. As many times as you want. You are a good child. You deserve to have fun."
+
+She watched him go up and down the slide. She was proud of him. She gave him a big shake and a kiss. He gave her a big hug and a smile. They were happy. They had a good day at the park.

+They are tired. They yawn. They hug Mom.
+
+"Can we sleep, Mom?" Anna asks.
+
+"Can we sleep, Mom?" Ben asks.
+
+Mom nods. "Yes, you can sleep. You did a good job today. I'm proud of you."
+
+Mom takes them to their bed. She tucks them in. She kisses them goodnight. She turns off the light.
+
+Anna and Ben close their eyes. They cuddle with their toy and book. They dream of the store. They are happy. They sleep.
+Lily and Ben were playing outside in the garden. It was a beautiful day. The sun was shining and the sky was blue. They had a ball, a bucket and a shovel. They liked to make sand castles and kick the ball.
+
+"Look, Lily, I made a big castle!" Ben said, showing his work.
+
+"Wow, Ben, that's great!" Lily said. "Can I help you?"
+
+"Sure, Lily, you can help me. Here, take the shovel and dig some more sand."
+
+Lily took the shovel and dug some more sand. She put it on top of the castle. They made the castle bigger and bigger.
+
+But then, they heard a loud noise. It was a fire truck. It had a siren and a horn. It was going very fast.
+
+"What's that, Ben?" Lily asked, scared.
+
+"That's a fire truck, Lily. It helps when there is a fire. Fire is very hot and can burn things. We have to be careful with fire."
+
+"Where is the fire, Ben?" Lily asked, curious.
+
+"I don't know, Lily. Maybe in the house over there. See, there is smoke coming out of the window. Smoke is from fire. The fire truck will put out the fire with water. Water is cold and can stop fire."
+
+Lily and Ben watched as the fire truck stopped in front of the house. They saw some men in helmets and coats. They had a hose and a ladder. They sprayed water on the fire. They climbed the ladder and went inside the house. They came out with a cat and a woman. The cat was black and the woman was crying.
+
+"Look, Ben, they saved the cat and the woman!" Lily said, happy.
+
+"Yes, Lily, they did. They are very brave and kind. They are firefighters. They help people and animals when there is a fire."
+
+Lily and Ben clapped their hands and cheered for the firefighters. The firefighters smiled and waved at them. They put the cat and the woman in an ambulance. The ambulance had a light and a bell. It took them to the hospital. The hospital was a place where people and animals got better.
+
+Lily and Ben went back to their castle. They finished it and put a flag on top. They were proud of their castle. They hoped the cat and the woman would be okay. They were glad the firefighters were there. They liked the beautiful weather and the fire truck. They had a lot of fun.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big swing. They want to swing on it.
+
+"Can I go first?" Anna asks.
+
+"OK, but not too long," Ben says.
+
+Anna runs to the swing. She sits on it. She holds the ropes. She kicks her legs. She swings high and low. She feels happy.
+
+Ben waits for his turn. He holds his rag. His rag is old and soft. He likes his rag. He feels bored.
+
+"Anna, I want to swing now," Ben says.
+
+"Wait a minute, Ben. I'm having fun," Anna says.
+
+She swings more and more. She does not see Ben. She does not hear Ben.
+
+Ben feels sad. He feels tired. He sits on the grass. He hugs his rag. He closes his eyes.
+
+"Ben, Ben, wake up!" Anna says.
+
+She stops swinging. She runs to Ben. She sees him sleeping. She feels sorry.
+
+"Ben, I'm sorry. I was selfish. You can swing now," Anna says.
+
+She shakes him gently. She smiles at him.
+
+Ben opens his eyes. He sees Anna. He sees the swing. He feels happy.
+
+"Thank you, Anna. You are a good friend," Ben says.
+
+He gets up. He gives his rag to Anna. He runs to the swing. He sits on it. He holds the ropes. He kicks his legs. He swings high and low. He feels happy.
+
+Anna holds his rag. She watches him swing. She feels happy.
+
+They swing together. They laugh together. They are friends.
+Tom and Sam were brothers. They liked to play in the yard. One day, they saw a big hole in the fence. They wanted to see what was on the other side.
+
+"Let's enter the hole and look," Tom said.
+
+"OK, but be careful," Sam said.
+
+They crawled through the hole and entered a dirty place. There were piles of trash and broken things. They saw a rusty car and a filthy sofa. They also saw a big dog. The dog was angry. It barked and ran at them.
+
+"Run, run!" Sam shouted.
+
+They ran back to the hole, but Tom tripped on a nail. The nail hurt his foot. He cried out loud.
+
+"Help, help!" Tom cried.
+
+Sam helped Tom get up and they entered the hole again. They left the dirty place and the angry dog. They ran to their house and told their mom what happened.
+
+Mom was worried. She looked at Tom's foot and saw the nail. She took Tom to the doctor. The doctor cleaned the wound and gave Tom a bandage and a sticker. He said Tom was brave.
+
+Tom and Sam learned a lesson. They never entered the hole again. They played in their yard and had fun. They were happy.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to slide, swing and run. They saw a big fountain with water and many coins. Lily said, "Look, Ben, people throw coins in the fountain and make a wish. Do you want to try?"
+
+Ben nodded and took a coin from his pocket. He closed his eyes and said, "I wish I had a big cake." He threw the coin in the fountain and waited. Nothing happened. He opened his eyes and said, "Where is my cake?"
+
+Lily laughed and said, "Ben, you are silly. The fountain does not give you a cake. It is just for fun. Maybe your wish will happen later, when we go home."
+
+Ben felt sad and said, "But I want a cake now. I am hungry." He looked at the fountain and saw his coin shining in the water. He had an idea. He said, "I know. I will get my coin back and buy a cake with it."
+
+He ran to the fountain and tried to reach his coin. But the fountain was too deep and too wet. He slipped and fell in the water. He got soaked and cold. He cried and said, "Help, help, I am wet and cold. And I lost my coin."
+
+Lily ran to him and helped him out of the fountain. She said, "Ben, you are crazy. You cannot get your coin back. It is gone. And you cannot buy a cake with one coin. It is not enough. Come on, let's go home and dry up. Maybe mom will make us a cake if we ask nicely."
+
+Ben nodded and said, "OK, Lily, you are right. I am sorry. I was silly and crazy. Let's go home and ask mom for a cake. And maybe next time, I will make a better wish."
+Sara was happy today. She was going to visit her grandma and grandpa. They lived in a big house with a garden and a dog. Sara liked to play with the dog. His name was Spot and he was very dependable. He always came when Sara called him and he never bit or barked.
+
+Sara's mom and dad drove her to the big house. They said hello to grandma and grandpa and gave them hugs and kisses. Grandma had baked a cake for Sara. It was chocolate and had sprinkles on top. Sara said thank you and ate a big slice. It was yummy.
+
+After the cake, Sara went to the garden with Spot. They ran and jumped and rolled on the grass. Spot chased a ball that Sara threw for him. He brought it back to her every time. Sara laughed and clapped her hands. She said, "Good boy, Spot! You are so smart and fun!"
+
+Grandma and grandpa watched them from the window. They smiled and said to each other, "Sara is such a sweet and cheerful girl. We are lucky to have her visit us. And Spot is a good friend to her. He is very dependable."
+
+Sara heard them and waved to them. She said, "I love you, grandma and grandpa! And I love Spot too! This is the best visit ever!"
+Lily and Tom are twins. They like to play with their toys in their room. They have many toys, but they do not share them well. Sometimes they fight over the same toy.
+
+One day, Lily sees a big doll in a box. She wants to play with it. She runs to the box and takes the doll out. She lays the doll on her bed and hugs it.
+
+"Look, Tom, I have a new doll!" she says. "She is so pretty and soft. She is mine!"
+
+Tom sees the doll and wants to play with it too. He goes to the bed and tries to take the doll from Lily. He pulls the doll's arm and says, "No, Lily, I want the doll! She is not yours, she is mine!"
+
+Lily and Tom start to yell and tug at the doll. They do not see their mom coming into the room. She hears the noise and sees the mess. She is not happy.
+
+"Stop, Lily and Tom!" she says. "What are you doing? Why are you fighting over the doll?"
+
+Lily and Tom stop and look at their mom. They are scared. They do not want to get in trouble.
+
+"Mom, we both want the doll," Lily says. "She is so pretty and soft. She is mine!"
+
+"No, she is mine!" Tom says. "I saw her first. She is mine!"
+
+Mom shakes her head and sighs. She picks up the box and shows it to Lily and Tom. She points to the words on the box. She reads them slowly and clearly.
+
+"This doll is not yours, Lily or Tom," she says. "This doll is a gift for your cousin Will. He is coming to visit us tomorrow. He is sick and he needs a friend. This doll is for him. Do you understand?"
+
+Lily and Tom look at the box and then at each other. They feel bad. They did not know the doll was for Will. They like Will. He is nice and fun. They want him to be happy.
+
+"Yes, mom, we understand," Lily says. "We are sorry. We did not know the doll was for Will."
+
+"Me too, mom," Tom says. "We are sorry. We want Will to have the doll."
+
+Mom smiles and hugs Lily and Tom. She is proud of them. She puts the doll back in the box and closes it.
+
+"Thank you, Lily and Tom," she says. "You are very kind and generous. I am sure Will will love the doll and he will be very happy to see you. Now, why don't you play with your other toys? You have many toys and they are all available for you to share. Can you do that?"
+
+Lily and Tom nod and smile. They say sorry to each other and hug. They go to their toy box and pick out some toys. They play nicely and share. They are happy. They can't wait to see Will and give him the doll. They hope he will get better soon.
+Tom and Anna like to go on walks with their mom and dad. They see many things on their walks, like birds, flowers, and bugs. Sometimes they find a trail in the woods, and they follow it to see where it goes.
+
+One day, they found a trail that had many berries on the sides. They were red and blue and purple and looked yummy. Tom and Anna asked their mom and dad if they could pick some. Their mom and dad said yes, but only if they raised their hands and showed them first. They did not want them to eat anything bad.
+
+Tom and Anna raised their hands and showed their mom and dad the berries they picked. Their mom and dad said they were good and let them eat some. They were sweet and juicy and made their mouths happy. Tom and Anna said, "Mmm, yummy!"
+
+They filled their pockets with berries and walked along the trail. They saw a big rock and climbed on it. They saw a stream and threw stones in it. They saw a squirrel and said hello to it. They had fun on the trail.
+
+When they got back to their car, they shared their berries with their mom and dad. They all said, "Mmm, yummy!" They drove home and had a nap. They dreamed of the trail and the berries and the squirrel. They were happy.
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play with paper and crayons. They liked to print their names and draw pictures of their family and pets. One day, they found a big book with many pages in their dad's office. The book had many words and pictures that they did not know.
+
+"Wow, look at this book!" Tom said. "It is so big and heavy. It must have many stories inside."
+
+"Can we print on it?" Lily asked. "It has many white pages that we can color."
+
+Tom nodded. He took a crayon and opened the book. He started to print his name on the first page. Lily did the same on the second page. They were having fun printing and drawing on the book.
+
+But they did not know that the book was very important and expensive. It was a luxury book that their dad had bought for his work. He had to keep it tidy and clean. He did not like anyone to touch it or write on it.
+
+When their dad came home, he saw the book on the floor. He saw the crayons and the prints and the drawings on the pages. He was very angry and sad.
+
+"Who did this to my book?" he shouted. "This book is not for playing. It is a luxury book that I need for my work. It was very tidy and now it is ruined."
+
+Tom and Lily heard their dad's voice. They felt scared and sorry. They ran to their dad and hugged him.
+
+"We are sorry, dad," they said. "We did not know. We just wanted to print and draw. We like your book. It is very pretty."
+
+Their dad sighed. He was still angry and sad, but he also loved his twins. He hugged them back.
+
+"I love you, too," he said. "But you have to be careful with other people's things. You have to ask before you use them. And you have to keep them tidy and clean. Do you understand?"
+
+Tom and Lily nodded. They said they were sorry again. They helped their dad to pick up the book and the crayons. They promised to never print on his book again. They learned a lesson that day.
+Ben and Mia were twins who liked to play with their toys. One day, they found a big box in the garage. They opened it and saw many old things that belonged to their dad when he was little. There were cars, trains, books, and a big clock.
+
+"Wow, look at this clock!" Ben said. He picked it up and turned the hands. "It makes a tick-tock sound. Do you know what it does?"
+
+Mia shook her head. She did not know much about clocks. She liked the books better. She took one and looked at the pictures. "This book has animals in it. See, there is a lion, and a monkey, and a giraffe."
+
+Ben put the clock down and joined Mia. He liked animals too. They looked at the book together and made the sounds of the animals. They had fun.
+
+But then they heard their mom call them. "Ben, Mia, time for lunch!"
+
+They looked at the clock. It was almost noon. They had played for a long time. They had gained a lot of minutes.
+
+"Come on, let's go," Ben said. He grabbed the clock and the book. "We can bring these with us. Maybe dad can tell us more about them."
+
+Mia nodded. She thought that was a good idea. She was hungry, but she also wanted to learn. She was thoughtful.
+
+They ran to the kitchen, holding their new toys. Their mom smiled and gave them a hug. "You two look happy. What did you find in the garage?"
+
+Ben and Mia showed her the clock and the book. They told her how they played and what they saw. Their mom listened and praised them. "You are very curious and smart. I'm glad you enjoyed the old things. They are part of our family history."
+
+She gave them a sandwich and a glass of milk. They ate and drank, and then asked their dad to join them. They wanted to hear his stories about the clock and the book. They had a lot of questions. They were eager to gain more knowledge.
+Anna and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to slide, swing and run. They noticed a big building with many windows and towers. It was a palace.
+
+"Wow, look at that!" Anna said. "Who lives there?"
+
+"I don't know. Maybe a king or a queen," Ben said. "Do you think they have toys and candy?"
+
+"Maybe. Let's go and see," Anna said. They ran to the gate of the palace.
+
+A guard was standing there. He wore a hat and a coat. He looked at Anna and Ben.
+
+"Hello, little ones. What are you doing here?" he asked.
+
+"We want to see the palace. Can we go in?" Anna asked.
+
+The guard smiled. He was generous. He liked children.
+
+"Sure, you can. But you have to be quiet and polite. The palace is very old and precious. Follow me," he said.
+
+He opened the gate and led them inside. Anna and Ben saw many rooms with paintings, carpets and furniture. They saw a big hall with a throne and a crown. They saw a garden with flowers and fountains. They saw a kitchen with cakes and pies.
+
+They were amazed. They thanked the guard for showing them the palace. He gave them each a piece of candy.
+
+"Come back anytime. You are always welcome here," he said.
+
+Anna and Ben waved goodbye. They ran back to the park. They had a wonderful day. They learned a lot. They made a new friend. They were happy.
+Tom and Mia like to play with their toy cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They make them zoom on the floor, on the table, and on the sofa. They have fun making noises and pretending to be drivers.
+
+One day, they find a new car in their toy box. It is green and shiny, and has a button on the side. Tom and Mia wonder what the button does. They decide to try it out.
+
+They put the green car on the floor and press the button. The car starts to zoom very fast, faster than any of their other cars. It zooms across the room, under the chair, and behind the curtain. Tom and Mia run after it, laughing and shouting.
+
+But then, they hear a squeak. They look behind the curtain and see a mouse. The mouse is scared of the green car. It runs away, looking for a place to hide. The green car follows it, still zooming.
+
+"Stop, stop!" Tom and Mia say to the car. They want to catch it and turn it off. They don't want to scare the mouse. They like mice. They think they are cute and furry.
+
+They chase the car and the mouse around the room, until they finally catch them. They turn off the car and put it back in the toy box. They give the mouse some cheese and a hug. They say sorry to the mouse and tell it they are friends.
+
+The mouse is happy. It likes cheese and hugs. It likes Tom and Mia. It decides to stay with them and play. They give it a name: Zoom. They think it is a good name for a mouse that likes to run fast. They all play together with the toy cars, but they are careful not to press the button on the green car again. They have learned their lesson.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They saw a big board leaning on the wall. It had a lock on it.
+
+"Let's see what is behind the board," Lily said. "Maybe there is a treasure."
+
+Tom nodded. He liked treasures. He looked for a key to unlock the lock. He found a small key in his pocket. He tried to fit it in the lock, but it was too small.
+
+"It does not work," Tom said. "We need a bigger key."
+
+Lily thought hard. She was very clever. She had an idea. She ran to the shed and came back with a hammer.
+
+"Watch this," Lily said. She used the hammer to hit the lock. The lock broke and fell off.
+
+"Wow, you are so clever," Tom said. "You unlocked the lock with the hammer."
+
+They moved the board and looked behind it. There was a big hole in the wall. They saw a bright light inside.
+
+"Let's go in," Lily said. "Maybe there is a treasure."
+
+Tom nodded. He liked treasures. He followed Lily into the hole. They found a secret tunnel that led to a beautiful garden. There were flowers, birds, and butterflies. They also saw a big chest with a sign that said "Treasure".
+
+They opened the chest and saw many shiny things. There were coins, jewels, and toys. They were very happy. They had found a treasure.
+
+They played with the treasure for a long time. They forgot about the board and the lock. They had a lot of fun. They were very clever.
+Lily liked to play the piano. She had a big piano in her room, with many keys that made different sounds. She learned how to make songs with the keys, and she liked to sing along.
+
+One day, Lily wanted to show her mom her new song. She ran to the living room, where her mom was reading a book. "Mom, mom, come see my song!" she said.
+
+Her mom smiled and followed her to her room. But when they got there, the piano was gone. Lily was very sad and confused. "Where is my piano?" she asked.
+
+Her mom looked around and saw a big blanket on the floor. She lifted the blanket and saw the piano. It was hidden under the blanket. "Here it is, Lily. Your piano is here. It was just hiding," she said.
+
+Lily was very happy and hugged her mom. "Thank you, mom. You found my piano. Can I play my song for you now?" she asked.
+
+Her mom nodded and sat on the bed. She watched Lily play the piano and sing her song. She clapped and cheered when Lily finished. "That was a beautiful song, Lily. You are very good at playing the piano. I am very proud of you," she said.
+
+Lily smiled and hugged her mom again. She felt very happy and relaxed. She loved her mom and her piano. They were her favorite things in the world.
+Tim and Mia like to play in the park. They see a big kangaroo with a baby in her pouch. They want to say hello to the kangaroo and the baby.
+
+"Hello, kangaroo! Hello, baby!" Tim says. He waves his hand.
+
+But the kangaroo does not wave back. She does not look at Tim and Mia. She hops away.
+
+"Why does she not say hello?" Mia asks. She is sad.
+
+"Maybe she is deaf," Tim says. He knows that deaf means you cannot hear.
+
+"What is deaf?" Mia asks. She does not know that word.
+
+"Deaf means you cannot hear sounds. Like when you cover your ears," Tim says. He covers his ears to show Mia.
+
+"Oh, I see. That is sad," Mia says. She covers her ears too.
+
+They see the kangaroo hop to a bench. She seats on the bench and cuddles her baby.
+
+"Maybe we can be her friends," Tim says. He has an idea.
+
+He picks a flower and gives it to Mia. They walk to the bench and smile at the kangaroo.
+
+"Hello, kangaroo. We are Tim and Mia. We want to be your friends. This is a flower for you," Tim says. He puts the flower on the bench.
+
+The kangaroo sees the flower. She sees Tim and Mia smiling. She does not hear them, but she understands. She smiles back. She takes the flower and puts it in her pouch.
+
+"Thank you, Tim and Mia. You are very kind. I am Roo and this is Joey. We want to be your friends too," she says. She does not say it with words, but with her eyes and her nose and her mouth.
+
+Tim and Mia are happy. They seat on the bench with Roo and Joey. They play and laugh and hug. They are friends.
+One day, Lily and Ben went to the park with their mom. They saw a big slide, a swing, and a sandbox. They ran to play and have fun.
+
+Lily liked the slide. She climbed up the ladder and slid down fast. She laughed and said, "Whee! This is fun!"
+
+Ben liked the swing. He pushed himself with his feet and went higher and higher. He smiled and said, "Wow! I can see the sky!"
+
+But then, they both noticed something in the grass. It was a rabbit. It had brown fur, long ears, and a fluffy tail. It looked cute and soft.
+
+Lily and Ben wanted to pet the rabbit. They got off the slide and the swing and walked slowly to the grass. They said, "Hello, rabbit. Can we be your friends?"
+
+But the rabbit was not friendly. It was fierce. It showed its teeth and made a loud noise. It said, "No! Go away! This is my park!"
+
+Lily and Ben were scared. They ran back to their mom and hugged her. They said, "Mom, the rabbit is mean. It does not want to play with us."
+
+Mom said, "Don't worry, my loves. Some rabbits are fierce and some are nice. Maybe this one is just protecting its home. Let's leave it alone and find another place to play."
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They said, "Okay, mom. We love you."
+
+They went to the sandbox and made a castle with their buckets and shovels. They forgot about the fierce rabbit and had fun again.
+Anna and Ben are playing in the park. They like to slide and swing and run. But Ben falls down and hurts his knee. He cries and cries. Anna runs to him and says, "Don't cry, Ben. I will help you."
+
+Anna finds a bandage in her bag. It is orange and has stars on it. She says, "Look, Ben. This is a nice bandage. It will make your knee feel better." She puts the bandage on Ben's knee and gives him a hug.
+
+Ben stops crying and looks at his bandage. He says, "Thank you, Anna. You are a good friend. I like your bandage. It is orange and has stars. It is pretty."
+
+Anna smiles and says, "You are welcome, Ben. I am glad you like it. Do you want to play some more?"
+
+Ben nods and says, "Yes, I want to play some more. But can we play something gentle? I don't want to hurt my knee again."
+
+Anna says, "Of course, Ben. We can play something gentle. How about we speak to the birds and the flowers? They are nice and friendly."
+
+Ben says, "Yes, that sounds fun. Let's go and speak to the birds and the flowers. Maybe they will speak back to us."
+
+Anna and Ben hold hands and walk to the trees and the grass. They speak to the birds and the flowers and have a lot of fun. They are happy and forget about Ben's knee. They are good friends.
+Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the garden. Lily had a doll and Ben had a car. They were having fun until Ben saw Lily's doll and wanted it.
+
+"Give me your doll!" Ben said. He grabbed the doll from Lily and ran away.
+
+Lily was sad and angry. She cried and shouted. "That's my doll! You are selfish! Give it back!"
+
+Ben did not listen. He laughed and said. "No, it's mine now! You have a car, you don't need a doll!"
+
+Lily did not want the car. She wanted her doll. She ran after Ben, but he was faster. He climbed on a tree and held the doll high.
+
+"Ha ha, you can't get it!" Ben said.
+
+But then, he heard a loud bark. A big dog was running towards the tree. It looked angry and hungry. It wanted to bite Ben and the doll.
+
+Ben was scared. He screamed. "Help! Help! The dog is coming!"
+
+Lily heard Ben. She saw the dog. She was still mad at Ben, but she did not want him to get hurt. She loved her brother, even if he was selfish sometimes.
+
+She grabbed the car and threw it at the dog. The dog was surprised and chased the car instead of Ben. Lily ran to the tree and helped Ben down.
+
+"Thank you, Lily!" Ben said. He hugged Lily and gave her the doll. "I'm sorry, I was selfish. You can have your doll back. It's yours."
+
+Lily smiled and hugged Ben back. "It's okay, Ben. I'm sorry, I threw your car. You can have it back. It's yours."
+
+They shared their toys and played together. They were happy and kind. The dog found the car and played with it too. It was happy and kind. Everyone was happy and kind.
+Mia and Leo were best friends. They liked to play with dolls and cars and books. They had different skin colors, but they did not care. They said they belonged together.
+
+One day, they went to the park with their moms. They saw a big slide and ran to it. Mia went first. She slid down fast and laughed. Leo wanted to try too. He climbed up the ladder, but he was clumsy. He slipped and fell. He hurt his knee and cried.
+
+Mia ran to him and hugged him. She said, "Are you okay, Leo? I'm sorry you fell. You are brave."
+
+Leo sniffed and looked at his knee. It was bleeding. He said, "It hurts, Mia. And look, my skin is red."
+
+Mia said, "It's okay, Leo. Your skin is always red. It's beautiful. It's like the sun. And my skin is brown. It's like the earth. We have different skin, but we are the same. We are friends. We belong together."
+
+Leo smiled and nodded. He said, "You're right, Mia. You are smart. And you are kind. We are friends. We belong together."
+
+Their moms came and cleaned Leo's knee. They gave him a band-aid and a kiss. They said, "You are both good kids. We are proud of you. You are kind and respectful. You belong together."
+
+Mia and Leo held hands and went to play again. They were happy. They were best friends. They belonged together.
+Anna and Ben like to play outside. They have a big yard with many toys and flowers. Sometimes they ride their bikes on the road. The road is peaceful and not busy. They can see the hills and the sky.
+
+One day, Anna and Ben want to ride their bikes on the road. They ask their mom if they can go. Mom says, "Yes, you can go, but be careful. Stay on the side of the road. Do not go too far. And come back soon."
+
+Anna and Ben say, "Thank you, mom. We will be careful." They put on their helmets and get on their bikes. They ride on the road and have fun. They see a dog, a bird, and a truck. They wave and say hello.
+
+After a while, they hear a loud noise. It is a siren. They see a police car coming fast. The police car has lights and a horn. Anna and Ben are scared. They stop their bikes and move to the side of the road. They wait for the police car to pass.
+
+The police car passes and the noise stops. Anna and Ben look at each other. They say, "That was scary. Let's go back home." They turn their bikes and ride back to their yard. They see their mom waiting for them. She says, "I'm glad you're back. Are you okay?" They say, "Yes, mom. We're okay. But we saw a police car. It was loud and fast." Mom says, "I know. It was an emergency. The police car had to go help someone. But you did the right thing. You stayed on the side of the road and waited. I'm proud of you." She hugs them and says, "How about some cookies and milk?" They say, "Yes, please. We like cookies and milk." They go inside and have a snack. They are happy and safe.
+Lily and Ben went to the farm with their mom and dad. They wanted to pick a pumpkin for Halloween. They saw many pumpkins in the field. Some were big, some were small, some were round, some were bumpy.
+
+Lily was very enthusiastic. She ran to the pumpkins and pointed at them. "Look, look, this one is orange and shiny. This one is green and funny. This one is huge and heavy. Can we take them all?"
+
+Ben was more careful. He walked to the pumpkins and touched them. He wanted to find the perfect one. He said, "No, Lily, we can only take one. It has to fit in the car. And it has to be good for carving. Let me see."
+
+He looked around and saw a pumpkin that was not too big, not too small, not too round, not too bumpy. It was just right. He smiled and said, "This is the one. It is nice and smooth. It has a good stem. It will make a great jack-o-lantern."
+
+He lifted the pumpkin and showed it to his mom and dad. They nodded and said, "Good choice, Ben. That is a beautiful pumpkin. Let's go pay for it and take it home."
+
+Lily was a little sad. She wanted to take more pumpkins. But she saw that Ben was happy with his pumpkin. And she remembered that they could share it and carve it together. She said, "OK, Ben. Your pumpkin is nice too. Can I help you carry it?"
+
+Ben said, "Sure, Lily. You can hold this side. It is heavy. We can be a team."
+
+They carried the pumpkin to the car. They were both enthusiastic. They could not wait to make their jack-o-lantern. They thanked the farmer and said goodbye to the other pumpkins. They had a fun day at the farm.
+Lila liked to cook with her mom. She was very creative and liked to try new things. One day, she saw a big red pepper in the fridge. She asked her mom if she could use it.
+
+"Sure, you can use the pepper, but be careful. It is spicy and might make your mouth hot," her mom said.
+
+Lila nodded and took the pepper. She washed it and cut it with a plastic knife. She wanted to make a salad with it. She found some lettuce, cheese and dressing. She put them in a big bowl and mixed them. Then she added the pepper.
+
+She was proud of her salad. She wanted to share it with her mom. She took a big spoon and filled a small plate. She gave it to her mom and said, "Here, mom, try my salad. I made it with pepper."
+
+Her mom smiled and thanked her. She took a bite of the salad. She felt a snap in her mouth. It was the pepper. It was very spicy and made her mouth hot. She drank some water and said, "Wow, Lila, your salad is very good, but also very spicy. You are very creative, but next time, maybe use less pepper."
+
+Lila giggled and said, "Sorry, mom, I didn't know. I like pepper. It makes a snap in my mouth. Do you want more salad?"
+
+Her mom hugged her and said, "No, thank you, Lila. I think I had enough. But I love you and your salad. You are a great cook."
+Tim and Sam are best friends. They like to play football in the park. They have a plan. They want to win the big game against the other team.
+
+They practice every day. They kick the ball, they run, they catch. They have fun. They are loyal to each other. They help each other when they fall or miss.
+
+The day of the game comes. They are excited. They wear their red shirts and their blue shorts. They go to the park. They see the other team. They wear green shirts and yellow shorts. They look strong and fast.
+
+Tim and Sam are not afraid. They have their plan. They whisper to each other. They say, "We can do it. We are a good team. We are best friends."
+
+The game starts. The ball goes back and forth. Tim and Sam work together. They pass the ball, they block, they score. They cheer. They are happy.
+
+The other team tries hard. They also pass, block, and score. They also cheer. They are also happy.
+
+The game is close. The time is almost up. Tim has the ball. He sees Sam. He throws the ball to him. Sam catches it. He runs to the goal. He is almost there.
+
+But then, a green shirt tackles him. He falls. He drops the ball. The green shirt picks it up. He runs to the other goal. He scores. The game is over. The green team wins.
+
+Tim and Sam are sad. They lose the game. They sit on the grass. They look at the sky. They are quiet.
+
+Then, Tim says, "Sam, you did great. You are a good player. You are my best friend."
+
+Sam says, "Tim, you did great too. You are a good player. You are my best friend."
+
+They hug. They smile. They are loyal. They have a plan. They say, "Next time, we will win."
+Tom and Lily liked to travel with their mom and dad. They went to many places and saw many things. One day, they went to a big park with many trees. They wanted to play and explore.
+
+"Look, a big tree!" Tom said. He ran to the tree and touched its bark. "It feels rough and hard."
+
+"Look, a small tree!" Lily said. She ran to another tree and hugged its trunk. "It feels soft and smooth."
+
+They looked at each other and were confused. How could two trees be so different?
+
+They asked their mom and dad. "Why are these trees not the same?"
+
+Mom and dad smiled and explained. "These are not both trees. The big one is a tree, but the small one is a bush. A bush is like a small tree, but it has more branches and leaves. Sometimes, bushes have flowers or berries too."
+
+Tom and Lily nodded and learned a new word. They liked to travel and learn new things. They thanked their mom and dad and went to play some more. They found more trees and bushes and had fun.
+Lily and Anna are sisters. They like to play with dolls and cars. But they do not like to tidy their room. They leave toys and clothes everywhere.
+
+One day, Mom says, "You have to tidy your room, or you cannot watch TV." Lily and Anna do not want to miss their favorite show. They say, "OK, Mom, we will tidy our room."
+
+But Lily and Anna are lazy. They do not want to work. They have an idea. They say to each other, "Let's pay Ben to tidy our room. He is our brother. He likes money."
+
+They go to Ben and say, "Ben, we will give you two coins if you tidy our room. Then we can watch TV." Ben thinks for a moment. He says, "OK, I will do it. But you have to give me the coins first."
+
+Lily and Anna give Ben the coins. They are happy. They run to the living room and turn on the TV. They think they are smart.
+
+But Ben is smarter. He does not tidy their room. He takes the coins and buys candy. He eats the candy and hides the wrappers. He thinks he is clever.
+
+Mom comes to check on Lily and Anna. She sees them watching TV. She says, "Did you tidy your room?" Lily and Anna say, "Yes, Mom, we did." Mom says, "Let me see."
+
+Mom goes to their room. She sees the mess. She sees the toys and clothes everywhere. She sees the candy wrappers. She is angry. She says, "You did not tidy your room. You paid Ben to do it. But he did not do it either. He bought candy with your coins. You are all naughty. You have to tidy your room now. And no TV for a week."
+
+Lily and Anna are sad. They cry. They say, "We are sorry, Mom. We will not do it again." They go to their room and start to tidy. They learn their lesson. They think, "It is better to work than to pay."
+Sara and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to hop on the swings and go high in the air. They also liked to slide down the slide and run around the grass.
+
+One day, they saw a new thing in the park. It was a big round thing that spun very fast. It had seats with buckles to keep you safe. Sara and Tom wanted to try it.
+
+"Let's go on the spinny thing!" Sara said.
+
+"OK, but we have to buckle up first," Tom said.
+
+They ran to the spinny thing and found two seats. They buckled up and waited for it to start. Soon, the spinny thing began to move. It went faster and faster and faster. Sara and Tom felt the wind in their hair and the sun in their eyes. They laughed and screamed with joy.
+
+But after a while, they started to feel funny. Their heads felt heavy and their tummies felt weird. They felt dizzy and sick.
+
+"Stop, stop, stop!" Sara cried.
+
+"Me too, me too, me too!" Tom echoed.
+
+The spinny thing slowed down and stopped. Sara and Tom unbuckled and got off. They stumbled and fell on the ground. They felt very bad.
+
+"I don't like the spinny thing," Sara said.
+
+"Me neither," Tom said.
+
+They decided to go back to the swings and the slide. They hoped they would feel better soon. They learned that some things are too fast and too spinny for them. They liked to hop, but not to spin.
+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play with shapes. They have many shapes: circles, squares, triangles, stars. They put the shapes on the floor and make pictures.
+
+One day, Tom has a new shape. It is not a normal shape. It is a circle, but it has a hole in the middle. Tom says, "Look, Mia, I have a new shape. It is a circle with a hole. Do you like it?"
+
+Mia looks at the shape. She is curious. She says, "What is it for? How do you play with it?"
+
+Tom says, "I don't know. I found it in the park. Maybe we can use it for something. Maybe we can put something in the hole. Or maybe we can roll it like a wheel."
+
+Mia says, "Let's try it. Maybe it is fun."
+
+They take the shape and try to play with it. They put a stick in the hole and make it spin. They roll it on the floor and chase it. They put other shapes in the hole and see how they fit. They have fun with the new shape.
+
+They decide to call it a ring. They say, "A ring is a circle with a hole. It is not a normal shape, but it is a fun shape. We like it."
+Ben was a little boy who liked to play with his toys. He had a lot of cars, trains, and planes that he could zoom around the floor. He also had a big box that he could hide in and pretend it was a spaceship or a castle.
+
+One day, Ben was playing with his toys in his room. He heard his mom call him for lunch. He did not want to stop playing, so he ignored her. He kept zooming his cars and making loud noises.
+
+His mom came to his room and saw him playing. She was not happy. She said, "Ben, I told you to come for lunch. Why did you not listen to me?"
+
+Ben looked at his mom and frowned. He did not like to be interrupted. He said, "I don't want to eat. I want to play."
+
+His mom said, "You have to eat, Ben. It is good for you. And you have to listen to me, because I love you and I know what is best for you."
+
+Ben did not want to argue with his mom, but he also did not want to leave his toys. He had an idea. He said, "OK, mom, I will eat. But can I bring my toys with me?"
+
+His mom thought for a moment. She said, "No, Ben, you cannot bring your toys with you. You have to leave them in your room. You can play with them later, after you eat and take a nap."
+
+Ben was not happy with this answer. He said, "But mom, I don't want to take a nap. I want to play."
+
+His mom said, "You have to take a nap, Ben. It is good for you. And you have to listen to me, because I love you and I know what is best for you."
+
+Ben felt very troubled. He did not know what to do. He looked at his toys and then at his mom. He wished he could have both. He wished he could make his mom happy and play with his toys.
+
+He saw a curtain in his room. He had an idea. He said, "Mom, can I play with the curtain?"
+
+His mom was surprised. She said, "The curtain? What do you want to do with the curtain?"
+
+Ben said, "I want to make a tent with the curtain. I can put it over my box and make a cozy place to nap. And I can bring some of my toys with me. Please, mom, can I?"
+
+His mom smiled. She said, "That sounds like a good idea, Ben. You can play with the curtain and make a tent. But you have to eat first, and then you have to nap in your tent. And you have to be careful with the curtain and not rip it or pull it down. Do you understand?"
+
+Ben nodded. He said, "Yes, mom, I understand. Thank you, mom. I love you."
+
+He gave his mom a hug and then went to eat his lunch. He was happy. He could play with the curtain and his toys and make his mom happy. He was not troubled anymore. He was excited to make his tent and nap in it. He thought it would be fun. He smiled.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys. Lily has a gray cat toy. Ben has a red car toy. They play on the rug.
+
+"Can I touch your cat?" Ben asks Lily.
+
+"OK, you can touch my cat. But be gentle. She is soft and nice." Lily says.
+
+Ben touches the cat. He likes how it feels. He makes a purr sound.
+
+"Can I touch your car?" Lily asks Ben.
+
+"OK, you can touch my car. But be careful. It is fast and loud." Ben says.
+
+Lily touches the car. She likes how it looks. She makes a vroom sound.
+
+They touch each other's toys. They smile and laugh. They are happy.
+
+"Let's share our toys. You can play with my cat and I can play with your car." Ben says.
+
+"OK, let's share our toys. That is fun and kind." Lily says.
+
+They share their toys. They play together. They are good friends.
+Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play in the park. They had a net to catch bugs and butterflies. They had fun looking for different colors and shapes.
+
+One day, a new girl came to the park. Her name was Mia and she had a big net with glitter and ribbons. She said she could catch more bugs and butterflies than Lily and Ben. She said her net was better and prettier.
+
+Lily and Ben felt jealous of Mia's net. They wanted to have a net like hers. They stopped playing with their net and watched Mia run around the park.
+
+Mia saw Lily and Ben and said, "Why are you not playing? Are you scared of my net? Do you want to try it?"
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They wanted to try Mia's net. They hoped it would make them happy.
+
+Mia gave them her net and said, "You can have it for a little while. But be careful. It is very special and expensive."
+
+Lily and Ben took Mia's net and ran to the flowers. They tried to catch some butterflies. But the net was too big and heavy for them. They could not swing it fast enough. The butterflies flew away.
+
+Lily and Ben felt sad and frustrated. They did not like Mia's net. They missed their net. They remembered how much fun they had with their net. They remembered how their net was just right for them.
+
+They gave Mia's net back to her and said, "Thank you for letting us try your net. But we like our net better. It is more fun and easy for us."
+
+Mia looked surprised and said, "Really? But my net is so fancy and shiny. How can you like your net better?"
+
+Lily and Ben smiled and said, "Because it is ours. And we are happy with it."
+
+They took their net and went back to their game. They caught some bugs and butterflies and showed them to Mia. They asked her if she wanted to join them.
+
+Mia nodded and said, "Yes, I do. Your net looks nice too. Can we be friends?"
+
+Lily and Ben said, "Of course. We can share our nets and play together."
+
+They all became friends and played in the park. They learned that different nets can be good for different things. And they learned that being happy with what you have is better than being jealous of what you don't.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, they find a cute cat in the park. The cat is black and white and has green eyes. It purrs when they pet it.
+
+"Can we keep it?" Lily asks Ben.
+
+"I don't know," Ben says. "Maybe we should ask mom and dad."
+
+They take the cat home and show it to their parents. Their parents are surprised and ask them where they found it.
+
+"In the park," Lily says. "It was alone and hungry. We gave it some milk and cookies."
+
+Their parents smile and say they are very kind. They say they can keep the cat if they take good care of it.
+
+"Yay!" Lily and Ben say. "Thank you, mom and dad!"
+
+They name the cat Cookie and give it a bed and a bowl. They play with it every day and hug it at night. They understand that Cookie is their new friend and they love it very much.
+Tom was sick. He had a big cough and a hot head. He did not like to be sick. He wanted to play with his toys and his friends.
+
+Mom took Tom to the doctor. The doctor was nice. He looked at Tom's ears and throat. He gave Tom some medicine. He said Tom would feel better soon.
+
+A nurse came to the doctor's room. She had a smile and a sticker. She said to Tom, "Hi, I'm Anna. I'm a nurse. I'm here to help you. Do you want a sticker?"
+
+Tom nodded. He liked stickers. He liked Anna. She was kind and gentle.
+
+Anna said, "Good. Now, I need to take you to another room. We need to take a picture of your chest. It will not hurt. It will help the doctor see how your lungs are. Can you be a strong boy and follow me?"
+
+Tom said, "Yes, I can. I want to be strong. I want to see the picture."
+
+Anna took Tom's hand and lead him to another room. There was a big machine and a screen. Anna helped Tom stand in front of the machine. She said, "Now, you need to hold still and take a deep breath. I will press a button and the machine will make a beep. Then, the picture will show on the screen. Ready?"
+
+Tom said, "Ready."
+
+Anna pressed the button. The machine made a beep. The picture showed on the screen. Tom saw his chest and his lungs. He said, "Wow, that's me!"
+
+Anna said, "Yes, that's you. You did a great job. You are a strong boy. And your lungs look good. The medicine will help you get rid of the cough. Now, let's go back to the doctor and get your sticker."
+
+Tom smiled. He liked the picture. He liked Anna. He liked the sticker. He felt a little better. He said, "Thank you, Anna. You are a good nurse."

+
+One day, Anna and Ben go to the toy store. They see a big puzzle with a castle. It has many pieces and colors. Anna and Ben want the puzzle. They ask their moms to buy it for them.
+
+But their moms say no. They say the puzzle is too expensive and too hard. They say Anna and Ben have enough puzzles at home. They say they can buy something else.
+
+Anna and Ben are sad and angry. They start to cry and scream. They say they want the puzzle now. They say they are the best at puzzles. They say their moms are mean and unfair.
+
+Their moms are not happy. They say Anna and Ben are spoiled and rude. They say they need to share and be grateful. They say they will not buy anything for them. They say they will go home.
+
+Anna and Ben stop crying and screaming. They look at each other. They feel sorry and ashamed. They say sorry to their moms. They say they love them. They say they will talk and play nicely.

+Lily likes to talk to her pet cat, Max. She asks him many questions, like "What do you see out the window?" and "Do you want some milk?" Max does not answer with words, but he makes noises and moves his tail. Lily thinks he is very sweet and smart.
+
+One day, Lily and Max are playing in the living room. Lily has a toy phone and she pretends to call her grandma. She says "Hello, grandma, how are you?" and waits for an answer. But no one answers. She tries again, but still no answer. She feels sad and wonders why grandma does not talk to her.
+
+She looks at Max and says "Max, can you answer the phone? Maybe grandma will talk to you." She gives him the toy phone and hopes he will say something. Max takes the phone in his mouth and makes a loud meow. Lily laughs and claps her hands. She says "Good job, Max, you are so funny! I love you, my sweet pet!" Max purrs and rubs his head against her. Lily hugs him and feels happy. She thinks maybe grandma is busy and will call her later. She decides to keep playing with Max and the phone. They have a lot of fun.
+Mia and Leo were playing with blocks in the living room. They liked to build towers and bridges and castles. But sometimes they wanted the same blocks and they fought.
+
+"Give me that red block!" Leo said. He tried to grab it from Mia's hand.
+
+"No, it's mine!" Mia said. She held it tight and pulled it away.
+
+They both pulled hard and the block snapped in half. They were shocked and sad. They looked at the broken block and then at each other.
+
+Mom heard the noise and came to see what happened. She saw the block and the children's faces. She was not happy.
+
+"What did you do?" she asked. She gave them a lecture. "You should not fight over toys. You should share and be kind. And you should not break things. That block was a gift from your grandma. How do you think she would feel if she saw it?"
+
+Mia and Leo felt sorry. They knew Mom was right. They said sorry to Mom and to each other. They hugged and said they would be better.
+
+Mom smiled and hugged them too. She said she loved them and she was proud of them. She said they could fix the block with some glue. She said they could also make something new with the other blocks.
+
+Mia and Leo nodded and smiled. They thanked Mom and went back to their blocks. They decided to work together and make a graceful swan. They used the broken block as the swan's beak. They were happy and proud of their swan. They showed it to Mom and she said it was beautiful. They said they made it for Grandma. Mom said Grandma would love it. They all hugged and smiled.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big slide. It is made of steel. It is shiny and cold.
+
+"Let's go on the slide!" Ben says. He runs to the ladder.
+
+Anna is nervous. She does not like high things. She follows Ben slowly.
+
+"Come on, Anna!" Ben says. He is at the top of the slide. He smiles and waves.
+
+Anna climbs the ladder. She is scared. She holds the steel bars. They are hard and slippery.
+
+"Are you okay, Anna?" Ben asks. He sees Anna's face. She looks sad and afraid.
+
+"I don't want to slide," Anna says. She wants to go back down.
+
+"It's okay, Anna," Ben says. He slides down to her. He holds her hand. "We can do it together. I will help you."

+
+"Look, Ben, how pretty!" she said, pointing to the vase.
+
+Ben nodded. He was curious too. He climbed on a chair and reached for the vase. He wanted to hold it.
+
+But the vase was heavy and slippery. Ben lost his balance and dropped it. The vase fell to the floor and broke into many pieces. It made a loud noise.
+
+"Uh-oh!" Ben said, scared.
+
+Lily gasped. She saw the broken glass everywhere. She knew it was bad. She knew they had destroyed the vase.
+
+"Mama will be angry!" she said, worried.
+
+They heard footsteps. Mama was coming. They looked at each other. They did not know what to say. They hoped Mama would not be too mad. They were sorry. They did not mean to destroy the vase. They just wanted to see it.
+Lily and Max were playing with paper and scissors. They liked to cut shapes and make animals and flowers. Lily was very careful with the scissors. She knew they were sharp and could hurt. Max was not careful. He liked to cut fast and make noise.
+
+"Look, Lily, I made a snake!" Max said, holding a long strip of paper. He waved it in the air and made a hissing sound.
+
+"That's nice, Max, but don't cut too much. We need some paper for later," Lily said.
+
+"I don't care. I want to cut more. It's fun!" Max said. He grabbed another sheet of paper and started to cut it into pieces.
+
+Lily saw that Max was cutting the paper that had their drawings on it. She had drawn a sun and a rainbow and a house. She was very proud of them. She did not want Max to spoil them.
+
+"Max, stop! You are spoiling my drawings! That's not nice!" Lily said. She tried to take the paper away from Max, but he was too strong. He pulled it back and cut it some more.
+
+"No, I'm not! They are just paper. I can cut what I want!" Max said. He did not listen to Lily. He did not care that she was sad.
+
+Lily started to cry. She ran to their mom and told her what Max did. Mom was not happy. She took the scissors away from Max and scolded him. She told him to say sorry to Lily and to share the paper nicely. She gave Lily a hug and a new sheet of paper. She helped her draw a new sun and a rainbow and a house. Lily smiled and thanked her mom. She hoped Max would learn to be more careful and kind.
+Tim and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to pretend they were lions and roar at each other. They also liked to make jokes and laugh.
+
+One day, they saw a big dog in the park. It was barking and running around. Tim and Lily were scared of the dog. They hid behind a tree and hoped the dog would go away.
+
+But the dog saw them and came closer. It sniffed the tree and growled. Tim and Lily felt their hearts beat fast. They wanted to run away, but they were too afraid.
+
+Then, Lily had an idea. She whispered to Tim, "Let's roar at the dog. Maybe it will think we are lions and leave us alone. We can be brave and make a joke."
+
+Tim nodded. He liked Lily's idea. He took a deep breath and roared as loud as he could. Lily roared too. They sounded like lions.
+
+The dog was surprised. It stopped growling and looked at Tim and Lily. It tilted its head and wagged its tail. It thought they were funny and wanted to play.
+
+Tim and Lily saw the dog's tail and smiled. They realized the dog was not mean, just playful. They came out from behind the tree and petted the dog. The dog licked their faces and wagged its tail more.
+
+Tim and Lily laughed. They made a new friend. They roared and joked with the dog. They were brave and happy.
+Lily liked to dream. Every night, she closed her eyes and saw wonderful things. She saw big animals, bright flowers, and funny clowns. She dreamed of flying, swimming, and dancing. She was happy in her dreams.
+
+One night, she had a different dream. She dreamed of a gloomy place. It was dark and cold. There were no animals, flowers, or clowns. There was only a big tree with one pear on it. The pear looked sad and lonely. Lily wanted to help the pear.
+
+She walked to the tree and reached for the pear. But the pear was too high. She jumped and jumped, but she could not touch it. She felt sad and lonely too. She wished she had a friend.
+
+Then she heard a voice. "Hello, little girl. Do you want the pear?" It was the pear. It could talk.
+
+Lily was surprised. She said, "Yes, I want the pear. But you are too high. I can't reach you."
+
+The pear said, "Don't worry. I can help you. If you give me a hug, I will fall down. Then we can be friends."
+
+Lily smiled. She liked hugs. She said, "OK, pear. I will give you a hug. I want to be your friend."
+
+She hugged the pear with all her might. The pear felt warm and soft. It fell down from the tree. Lily caught it in her arms. They both laughed.
+
+They were happy in their dream.
+Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they find a wallet on the bench. It is brown and has a zipper.
+
+"Look, a wallet!" Tom says. "Maybe it has money inside."
+
+"Let's open it and see," Anna says. They unzip the wallet and see some coins and a card.
+
+"Wow, money!" Tom says. "We can buy ice cream with it."
+
+"But that is not our money," Anna says. "That is someone else's money. We should give it back."
+
+"Who?" Tom asks. "We don't know who it belongs to."
+
+"Maybe we can ask someone," Anna says. "Maybe they can help us find the owner."
+
+They look around and see a man walking towards them. He is wearing a coat and a hat. He looks cold.
+
+"Excuse me, sir," Anna says. "Do you know who this wallet belongs to?"
+
+The man stops and looks at the wallet. His eyes widen.
+
+"That's my wallet!" he says. "Thank you for finding it. I lost it this morning. I was so worried."
+
+He takes the wallet and smiles.
+
+"You are very kind and honest," he says. "Here, take this as a reward." He gives them a coin each.
+
+"Thank you, sir," Tom and Anna say.
+
+They run to the ice cream truck and buy ice cream with their coins. They are happy. They have done a good thing and they have a treat. They share their ice cream and enjoy the sun. They have changed someone's day for the better.
+Tim and Sam were in school. They liked to play and learn. But they did not like the teacher. She was mean and loud. She always told them to be quiet and sit still.
+
+One day, the teacher left the room. She said she had to do something. Tim and Sam saw the blackboard. It was empty. They had an idea. They took some chalk and drew on the blackboard. They drew funny faces and animals and words. They laughed and had fun.
+
+But then they heard the teacher coming back. They were scared. They tried to erase the blackboard. But it was too late. The teacher saw what they did. She was very angry. She yelled at them. She slapped their hands. It hurt. They cried.
+
+"Why did you do this?" the teacher asked. "This is bad. You have to say sorry."
+
+Tim and Sam looked at each other. They did not want to say sorry. They did not like the teacher. They thought she was mean. They said nothing.
+
+The teacher sighed. She said they had to stay after school. They had to clean the blackboard. They had to write "I will not draw on the blackboard" 100 times. They had to miss their playtime.
+
+Tim and Sam were sad. They wished they had not drawn on the blackboard. They wished they had a nice teacher. They wished they could go home.
+Lily and Max were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and hide behind the trees. Lily had a red velvet dress that she loved. It was soft and shiny and made her feel like a princess.
+
+"Come and catch me, Max!" Lily shouted, as she ran away from her brother. Max chased after her, laughing. He wanted to tag her and make her it.
+
+But Lily was too fast for him. She ran across the grass and towards the fence. She did not see the big rock that was in her way. She stumbled over it and fell down. She scraped her knee and tore her dress.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Lily cried, as she held her knee. Max ran to her and saw the blood and the rip. He felt sorry for her.
+
+"Are you okay, Lily?" he asked, as he hugged her. "I'm sorry you fell."
+
+Lily sniffed and looked at her dress. She saw the hole and the dirt. She felt sad and angry.
+
+"My dress, my dress!" she wailed. "It's ruined! It was my favorite dress!"
+
+Max tried to cheer her up. He looked at the hole and smiled.
+
+"It's not ruined, Lily," he said. "It's just a silly hole. You can still wear it. You can pretend it's a pirate dress. Pirates have holes in their clothes all the time. They are brave and cool."
+
+Lily looked at him and thought for a moment. She liked pirates. They had swords and hats and parrots. She imagined herself as a pirate princess, sailing the seas and finding treasure.
+
+She wiped her tears and smiled.
+
+"Okay, Max," she said. "Let's pretend we are pirates. But you have to be my first mate. And you have to say 'Arrr' a lot."
+
+Max nodded and agreed. He liked pirates too. He said 'Arrr' and helped Lily stand up. They held hands and walked back to the house. They were still playing and laughing, even with a silly hole in a velvet dress.
+Sam and Mia like to play in the park. They like to slide, swing, and run. But their favorite thing is to rock on the big rail. The rail is long and shiny and makes a funny sound when they rock on it.
+
+One day, they go to the park with their mom. They run to the rail and take turns rocking on it. Sam rocks fast and hard. He says, "Look, mom, I am strong! I can rock the rail!" Mia rocks slow and soft. She says, "I like to rock the rail. It is fun and cozy."
+
+But then, they hear a loud noise. It is a train. The train is coming on the rail. The rail is not for rocking. The rail is for the train. Sam and Mia are scared. They jump off the rail and run to their mom. Their mom hugs them and says, "You are safe now. The rail is not a toy. The rail is for the train. You have to be careful and stay away from the rail when the train comes."
+
+Sam and Mia nod. They say, "We are sorry, mom. We did not know. We will not rock on the rail again." Their mom smiles and says, "It is okay. I am glad you are okay. You can still play in the park, but not on the rail. There are many other things you can do. How about we go to the sandbox and make a castle?"
+
+Sam and Mia like that idea. They go to the sandbox and make a big castle. They use sticks, stones, and shells. They are happy and have fun. They forget about the rail and the train. They only remember to rock on the swings.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They saw a big bird sitting on a wire. The bird was black and white and had a long tail.
+
+"Look, a bird!" Tom said.
+
+"What is it doing?" Lily asked.
+
+The bird made a loud noise. It sounded like a whistle.
+
+"Maybe it is talking to us," Tom said.
+
+He tried to copy the noise. He blew air through his lips and made a whistle.
+
+The bird heard Tom and looked at him. It was curious. It made the same noise back.
+
+"Wow, it replied!" Lily said.
+
+She also tried to whistle. She made a funny sound.
+
+The bird tilted its head and whistled again.
+
+Tom and Lily laughed. They liked the bird. They whistled and the bird whistled. They had a fun game.
+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, they find a big box in the garage. The box has many pictures on it. It says "New World Puzzle".
+
+"What is this?" Tom asks.
+
+"Let's open it and see," Mia says.
+
+They open the box and see many pieces of cardboard. The pieces have different colors and shapes. They look like parts of a map.
+
+"Wow, this is a puzzle of the world!" Tom says. "We can make a new world with these pieces."
+
+They start to put the pieces together on the floor. They find pieces that look like water, land, animals, and people. They have fun making the new world.
+
+But then, Tom's little brother comes in. He is curious and wants to play too. He grabs a piece of the puzzle and runs away.
+
+"Hey, give that back!" Tom shouts.
+
+He chases his brother, but he trips and falls. He drops the piece he was holding. It breaks into two.
+
+"Oh no, you broke the world!" Mia cries.
+
+Tom feels sad and sorry. He says to Mia, "I'm sorry, Mia. I didn't mean to break the world. Can we fix it?"
+
+Mia looks at the broken piece. She sees that it has a line on it. She says, "Maybe we can. Look, this piece has a line. Maybe it can fit with another piece."
+
+They look for another piece with a line. They find one and try to fit them together. They match!
+
+"Yay, we fixed the world!" Tom says.
+
+They hug and smile. They go back to the puzzle and finish it. They are proud of their new world. They show it to Tom's brother and let him play too. They are happy.
+Tom liked to read books. He had many books in his room. He liked to look at the pictures and learn new words. Sometimes he read books to his teddy bear. He called his teddy bear Ben.
+
+One day, Tom's mom said, "Tom, it is time to go to the park. Put on your coat and shoes. We will have fun with the other kids."
+
+Tom did not want to go to the park. He wanted to read his new book. It was about a big red truck. He said, "No, mom. I want to read my book. It is very good."
+
+Tom's mom said, "Tom, you can read your book later. The park is nice today. It is not too hot or too cold. It is mild. You can play on the swings and the slide. You can make new friends."
+
+Tom ignored his mom. He did not look at her. He did not listen to her. He hugged his book and his teddy bear. He said, "No, mom. I want to read my book. It is very good."
+
+Tom's mom was sad. She did not like that Tom ignored her. She wanted him to have fun and be happy. She said, "Tom, please listen to me. I know you like your book, but you can read it anytime. The park is only open for a few hours. You will miss the fun if you stay here. Don't you want to try something new?"
+
+Tom thought for a moment. He liked his book, but he also liked the park. He liked the swings and the slide. He liked to make new friends. He looked at his mom and saw that she was sad. He did not want to make her sad. He said, "Okay, mom. I will go to the park with you. But can I bring my book and my teddy bear?"
+
+Tom's mom smiled. She was happy that Tom listened to her. She said, "Of course, Tom. You can bring your book and your teddy bear. But you have to put them in your backpack. You can't hold them while you play. You might drop them or lose them. Is that okay?"
+
+Tom nodded. He put his book and his teddy bear in his backpack. He put on his coat and shoes. He said, "I am ready, mom. Let's go to the park."
+
+Tom's mom hugged him. She said, "I am proud of you, Tom. You are a good boy. I love you."
+
+Tom hugged her back. He said, "I love you too, mom. Thank you for taking me to the park."
+Sam and Tom are brothers. They like to play with cars and trucks. They have many cars and trucks in their room. Some are big, some are small, some are red, some are blue.
+
+One day, they want to play with their big truck. It is yellow and has a trailer. They can put other cars and trucks in the trailer. They can pretend they are driving to far places.
+
+But there is a problem. The big truck has no fuel. It cannot move. It is dead. Sam and Tom are sad. They want to make the big truck alive.
+
+They look for fuel. They see a bottle of water on the table. They think it is fuel. They pour some water in the big truck. But nothing happens. The big truck is still dead.
+
+They see a jar of honey on the shelf. They think it is fuel. They pour some honey in the big truck. But nothing happens. The big truck is still dead.
+
+They see a can of paint in the closet. They think it is fuel. They pour some paint in the big truck. But nothing happens. The big truck is still dead.
+
+They are very sad. They do not know what to do. They cry.
+
+Mom hears them cry. She comes to their room. She sees the big truck and the mess. She is not happy.
+
+"What are you doing?" she asks.
+
+"We are trying to make the big truck alive. It has no fuel. It is dead." Sam and Tom say.
+
+Mom shakes her head. She says, "That is not fuel. That is water, honey and paint. You cannot put them in the big truck. They will make it worse. You have to separate them from the big truck. You have to clean the big truck. You have to use real fuel. Real fuel is in the garage. It is in a red can. It has a picture of a flame on it. Do you understand?"
+
+Sam and Tom nod. They say, "We are sorry, Mom. We did not know. We will separate them from the big truck. We will clean the big truck. We will use real fuel. Can you help us?"
+
+Mom smiles. She says, "Of course, I will help you. But first, you have to clean the table, the shelf and the closet. You have to put the water, the honey and the paint back where they belong. You have to be careful with them. They are not for playing. They are for other things. Do you understand?"
+
+Sam and Tom nod. They say, "We understand, Mom. We will clean the mess. We will be careful. Thank you, Mom."
+
+Mom hugs them. She says, "You are welcome, boys. I love you. Now, let's make the big truck alive."
+Lily was a princess who lived in a big castle. She liked to play with her dolls and dress up in pretty clothes. She had a lot of friends who came to visit her, but she did not have a prince.
+
+One day, a fierce dragon came to the castle. He roared and breathed fire and scared everyone. He wanted to take Lily away and make her his bride. Lily was very afraid and hid in her room.
+
+But there was a brave knight who heard about the dragon. His name was Leo and he had a shiny sword and a strong horse. He rode to the castle and fought the dragon. He swung his sword and dodged the fire and made the dragon run away.
+
+Lily was so happy and grateful that she ran to Leo and gave him a big hug. She said, "Thank you, thank you, you saved me from the dragon. You are my hero."
+
+Leo smiled and said, "You are welcome, princess. You are very beautiful and kind. Can I kiss you?"
+
+Lily nodded and said, "Yes, you can kiss me. You are my prince."
+
+And they kissed and lived happily ever after.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys and draw pictures. One day, they find a big box of crayons in the classroom. There are many colors: red, blue, yellow, green, and more. Anna and Ben are happy. They want to draw with the crayons.
+
+They take some paper and start to draw. Anna draws a sun. She uses a yellow crayon. She makes the sun big and bright. Ben draws a flower. He uses a red crayon. He makes the flower pretty and nice. They show each other their pictures. They say, "Wow, you are good at drawing!"
+
+Then they see an orange crayon. It is shiny and new. They both want to use it. Anna says, "I want the orange crayon. I want to draw a pumpkin." Ben says, "No, I want the orange crayon. I want to draw a carrot." They start to pull the crayon. They do not want to share.
+
+The teacher sees them. She says, "Stop, stop! What are you doing? You are not being kind. You are not being fair. You have to share the crayons. They are for everyone. They have value. They make your pictures beautiful. Do not fight over them. Spread them on the table. Take turns. Be friends."
+
+Anna and Ben feel sorry. They say, "We are sorry, teacher. We are sorry, friend. We were not nice. We will share the crayons. We will spread them on the table. We will take turns. We will be friends." They give each other a hug. They use the orange crayon together. They draw a pumpkin and a carrot. They smile. They are happy.
+Sara and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big, chubby thing with wings and a long nose. It is a duck. The duck is eating bread from the pond.
+
+"Look, a duck!" Sara says. "Can we feed it?"
+
+Ben nods. He has some bread in his pocket. He breaks it into small pieces and throws them to the duck. The duck swims to the bread and eats it. It makes a quack sound.
+
+Sara and Ben laugh. They like the duck. They want to touch it. They go closer to the pond. The duck sees them and blinks. It is not afraid.
+
+"Hello, duck," Sara says. "You are so chubby and soft. Can we pet you?"
+
+The duck quacks again. It lets Sara and Ben touch its feathers. They are warm and smooth. The duck likes Sara and Ben. It wags its tail.
+
+Sara and Ben are happy. They have a new friend. They play with the duck until it is time to go home. They wave goodbye to the duck and say thank you for the bread.
+
+"Bye, duck," Sara says. "We will come back soon."
+
+"Quack, quack," the duck says. It blinks and smiles.
+Sam and Ben are brothers. They like to play at the beach. They find many things in the sand. They find shells, rocks, sticks and seaweed. They want to organize their things.
+
+"Let's make a pile for each thing," Sam says. He puts all the shells in one pile. He puts all the rocks in another pile.
+
+"OK," Ben says. He puts all the sticks in one pile. He puts all the seaweed in another pile.
+
+They look at their piles. They are happy. They have many things.
+
+But then they see something else in the sand. It is big and gray. It has a long nose and teeth. It does not move.
+
+"What is that?" Sam asks.
+
+"I don't know," Ben says.
+
+They go closer. They touch it. It is cold and hard.
+
+"It is a fish," Sam says.
+
+"But it is not a normal fish," Ben says.
+
+"It is a dead fish," Sam says.
+
+They are scared. They do not like the dead fish. They run away from it. They leave their piles. They go to their mom.
+
+"Mom, mom, there is a dead fish at the beach!" Sam says.
+
+"A dead fish? Where?" Mom asks.
+
+"Over there, in the sand. It is big and gray and scary," Ben says.
+
+Mom goes to see the dead fish. She sees it. She is not scared. She knows what it is.
+
+"It is not a fish, boys. It is a dolphin," Mom says.
+
+"A dolphin?" Sam and Ben ask.
+
+"Yes, a dolphin. It is a kind of animal that lives in the water. It is very smart and friendly. But sometimes they get sick or hurt and they die. Then they wash up on the shore. It is sad, but it is natural," Mom says.
+
+"Oh," Sam and Ben say.
+
+They feel sorry for the dolphin. They want to do something for it.
+
+"Can we bury it, Mom?" Sam asks.
+
+"Can we say goodbye to it, Mom?" Ben asks.
+
+Mom nods. She helps them dig a hole in the sand. They put the dolphin in the hole. They cover it with sand. They find some flowers and shells. They decorate the grave. They say goodbye to the dolphin.
+
+"Goodbye, dolphin. We hope you are happy in the water. We are sorry you are dead. We will remember you," Sam and Ben say.
+
+They hug Mom. They go back to their piles. They organize their things again. They are not scared anymore. They are brave and kind. They are happy. They like to play at the beach.
+Lily was very tired. She had played all day with her toys and her dog. She wanted to go to bed, but she had to wait for her mom and dad. They said they had a surprise for her.
+
+She yawned and rubbed her eyes. She looked at the clock. It was very late. She wondered what the surprise was. Maybe a new book? Or a new dress? Or a new toy?
+
+She heard the door open. She jumped up and ran to the hall. She saw her mom and dad smiling. They had a big box in their hands. They put it on the floor and said, "Happy birthday, Lily! This is your surprise!"
+
+Lily was very happy. She forgot how tired she was. She tore off the paper and opened the box. Inside was a big, fluffy teddy bear. It had a red bow and a blue dress. It looked very soft and cuddly.
+
+Lily hugged the teddy bear and said, "Thank you, mom and dad! I love it! It's the best surprise ever!"
+
+She took the teddy bear to her room and snuggled with it in her bed. She felt warm and cozy. She closed her eyes and smiled. She was not tired anymore. She was very happy.
+
+But the teddy bear was not happy. It was dry and itchy. It did not like the red bow and the blue dress. It wanted to be free and wild. It wanted to run and play and roar.
+
+It waited until Lily was asleep. Then it got out of the bed and sneaked out of the room. It looked for a way out of the house. It saw a window. It pushed it open and jumped out.
+
+It ran into the night. It felt the wind and the rain. It felt alive and free. It roared and laughed.
+
+It did not see the car. It did not hear the horn. It did not feel the pain.
+
+It was the last surprise of the night.
+Anna liked to fly her kite on sunny days. She had a big kite with a long tail and many colors. She took her kite and her bag to the park with her mom. In her bag, she had a sandwich, a juice box, and a cookie for lunch.
+
+At the park, Anna found a good spot to fly her kite. She ran with the string and let the kite go up in the sky. She felt happy as she watched the kite dance with the wind. She heard other children laugh and play nearby.
+
+"Look, mom, my kite is so high!" Anna said.
+
+"Yes, it is, honey. You are doing a great job," mom said.
+
+Suddenly, Anna saw a big bird flying towards her kite. It was a hawk, with sharp claws and a hooked beak. Anna felt scared. She thought the hawk wanted to hurt her kite.
+
+"Mom, mom, a bird! A bird is coming!" Anna cried.
+
+Mom looked up and saw the hawk. She hugged Anna and said, "Don't worry, sweetie. The bird is harmless. It won't touch your kite. It is just curious. It likes to fly, too."
+
+Anna looked at the bird again. She saw that it did not attack her kite. It just flew around it, as if it wanted to say hello. Anna felt better. She smiled and waved at the bird.
+
+"Hello, bird. Do you like my kite?" Anna said.
+
+The bird made a loud sound and flew away. Anna and mom laughed. They ate their lunch and flew the kite some more. Anna had a fun day at the park.
+Sara and Tom were very happy. They were going to the museum with Mom and Dad. They liked the museum. It had many things to see and learn. They saw big animals, old bones, shiny rocks, and colorful paintings.
+
+"Look, Sara, a funny monkey!" Tom said, pointing to a stuffed animal in a glass case. "It has a long tail and a big smile."
+
+Sara laughed. She liked monkeys. She wanted to touch it, but Mom said no. "We can't touch the things in the museum, Sara. They are very old and special. We can only look at them."
+
+Sara nodded. She understood. She looked at the monkey and made a funny face. The monkey seemed to smile back at her.
+
+"Can we take a picture with the monkey, Mom?" Sara asked.
+
+"Sure, sweetie. That's a good idea. Tom, do you want to join them?"
+
+Tom nodded. He ran to Sara and hugged her. They smiled at Mom, who took out her phone and snapped a photo.
+
+"Say cheese!" Mom said.
+
+"Cheese!" Sara and Tom said.
+
+Mom showed them the photo. They looked very happy and cute with the monkey.
+
+"I promise we will print this photo and put it in your room, okay?" Mom said.
+
+"Okay, Mom. Thank you. We love you." Sara and Tom said.
+
+"I love you too, my darlings. Now, let's go see more things in the museum. There is so much to explore!" Mom said.
+
+Sara and Tom followed Mom and Dad. They had a lot of fun in the museum. They learned new things and saw funny things. They promised to come back again.
+Sara and Tom were playing in the garden. They had a big bucket of water and some cups. They liked to pour water from one cup to another and make splashes.
+
+"Look, Tom, I can pour water very high!" Sara said. She lifted her cup and poured water into the air. The sun made the water look light and shiny.
+
+"Wow, Sara, that's pretty!" Tom said. He tried to do the same, but he poured too much water and it fell on his head. He laughed and shook his head.
+
+"Let's pour water on the flowers!" Sara said. She ran to the flower bed and poured some water on a red rose. The rose smiled and opened its petals.
+
+"Thank you, Sara, you are very kind!" the rose said.
+
+Sara and Tom were surprised. They had never heard a flower talk before.
+
+"Did you hear that, Tom? The flower said thank you!" Sara said.
+
+"Maybe the water is magic!" Tom said.
+
+They poured water on the other flowers and they all talked to them. They said nice things like "You are very sweet!" and "You make me happy!"
+
+Sara and Tom felt very happy too. They played with the flowers until their bucket was empty. They decided that pouring water was a fun and magic game.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play together in the park. They have a jolly time on the swings, the slide and the seesaw. They also like to share their snacks.
+
+One day, Anna has a bowl of grapes. She gives some to Ben. Ben likes grapes. He says, "Thank you, Anna. You are very kind."
+
+Anna smiles. She says, "You are welcome, Ben. You are my best friend."
+
+But then, a big dog comes. The dog is hungry. He sees the bowl of grapes. He runs to Anna and Ben. He barks loudly. He scares them. He snatches the bowl of grapes. He runs away.
+
+Anna and Ben are sad. They miss their bowl of grapes. They cry. They hug each other.
+
+A nice lady sees them. She hears their cries. She feels sorry for them. She has a bag of cookies. She walks to Anna and Ben. She says, "Hello, little ones. What is wrong?"
+
+Anna and Ben tell her what happened. They show her the empty bowl. They say, "The dog took our grapes. We miss our grapes. We are hungry."
+
+The nice lady says, "Oh, that is not fair. The dog was very naughty. I have some cookies. Would you like some?"
+
+Anna and Ben nod. They say, "Yes, please. We like cookies."
+
+The nice lady gives them some cookies. She says, "Here you go. Enjoy your cookies. They are sweet and crunchy."
+
+Anna and Ben take the cookies. They say, "Thank you, nice lady. You are very kind."
+
+They eat the cookies. They smile. They feel better. They say, "The cookies are yummy. We are happy."
+
+The nice lady smiles. She says, "You are welcome, little ones. You are very sweet. I am happy to see you happy."
+
+She waves goodbye. She walks away.
+
+Anna and Ben wave back. They say, "Goodbye, nice lady. Have a jolly day."
+
+They finish their cookies. They play some more. They have a jolly time. They do not miss their bowl of grapes anymore. They are friends.
+Lily was playing with her dolls in her room. She liked to make them talk and do things. She was the bossy one. She told them what to wear, what to eat, and where to go. She did not like it when they did not listen to her.
+
+One day, she found a new doll in her toy box. It was a fairy doll with wings and a wand. Lily was happy. She wanted to play with the fairy doll. She picked it up and looked at it. She saw that it had only four toes on each foot. Lily was confused. She had five toes on each foot. Why did the fairy doll have only four?
+
+She decided to ask her mom. She ran to the kitchen where her mom was making lunch. She showed her the fairy doll and pointed at its feet. "Mom, why does this doll have only four toes?" she asked.
+
+Her mom smiled and took the fairy doll from her. She looked at its feet and then at Lily's. "Well, Lily, this doll is not like you. It is a fairy. Fairies are magical creatures that live in stories and books. They have different features than humans. Some have wings, some have horns, some have tails, and some have only four toes. It is part of what makes them special and different." she explained.
+
+Lily listened to her mom. She thought about what she said. She nodded. She understood. She took the fairy doll back from her mom and hugged it. She liked that it was special and different. She decided to be nice to it and not be bossy. She said, "Thank you, mom, for explaining. I like this fairy doll. It is my friend. Can I play with it in my room?"
+
+Her mom kissed her on the cheek and said, "Of course, you can, sweetie. Have fun with your fairy doll. And remember, you are special and different too. And I love you very much."
+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play with blocks and cars. One day, they find a box of matches in the kitchen. They do not know what matches are. They think they are sticks.
+
+"Look, sticks!" Lily says. She takes one and tries to break it.
+
+"No, don't break it!" Tom says. He remembers his dad using a match to light a candle. He wants to try it too. He takes another match and rubs it on the box.
+
+The match makes a spark and a flame. Tom is surprised and happy. He shows it to Lily.
+
+"Wow, fire!" Lily says. She thinks it is pretty and warm. She wants to touch it.
+
+"Careful, it is hot!" Tom says. He holds the match away from Lily. He hopes she will not get hurt.
+
+But the match is too short. It burns Tom's finger. He drops it on the floor. It makes a small fire on the rug.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Tom cries. He runs to the sink and puts his finger under the water.
+
+Lily is scared. She sees the fire on the rug. She smells the smoke. She does not like it. She runs to the door and calls for help.
+
+"Mom, mom, mom!" Lily shouts. She hopes her mom will come soon.
+
+Mom hears Lily and comes to the kitchen. She sees the fire on the rug. She grabs a wet towel and puts it on the fire. She puts out the fire.
+
+She is angry and worried. She looks at Tom and Lily.
+
+"What did you do?" Mom asks. She sees the box of matches on the table. She knows they played with matches.
+
+"We are sorry, mom," Tom and Lily say. They are sad and sorry. They know they did a bad thing.
+
+Mom hugs them and kisses them. She is glad they are not hurt. She tells them to never play with matches again. She tells them matches are dangerous and not toys.
+
+She gives them some cookies and milk. They are sweet and yummy. Tom and Lily eat them and say thank you.
+
+They promise to be good and listen to mom. They hope mom will not be mad at them. They hope they can still be friends.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play at school. They have a big desk with many toys and books. Lily likes to draw with crayons. Ben likes to read stories.
+
+One day, Lily and Ben find a hairy spider on the desk. They are scared. The spider has eight legs and two big eyes. It moves fast on the desk.
+
+"Look, a spider!" Lily says.
+
+"Let's catch it!" Ben says.
+
+They try to catch the spider with a cup. But the spider is too quick. It runs away from the cup. Lily and Ben chase the spider on the desk. They knock over the crayons and the books. They make a big mess.
+
+The teacher sees the mess. She is not happy. She walks to the desk. She wants to talk to Lily and Ben. But she does not see the spider. The spider is on the floor. The teacher steps on the spider. She slips and falls. She hurts her knee.
+
+"Ouch!" the teacher says.
+
+Lily and Ben see the teacher fall. They feel sorry. They run to the teacher. They help her get up. They say sorry for the mess and the spider.
+
+"It's okay," the teacher says. "But next time, please be careful with the spider. And clean up the desk."
+
+Lily and Ben nod. They hug the teacher. They clean up the desk. They put the spider in a jar. They say goodbye to the spider. They hope the spider is not too hairy.
+Sara and Ben like to play hide and seek in the park. Sara is good at finding places to hide, and Ben is good at counting. One day, they play near the pond, where there are many trees and rocks.
+
+Ben closes his eyes and counts to ten. "Ready or not, here I come!" he shouts. He looks around and sees Sara's pink shoes behind a big rock. He runs towards the rock, but he pauses when he hears a splash. He looks at the pond and sees Sara's head in the water. She is holding her nose and waving her arms.
+
+"Help! Help!" Sara cries. "I fell in the pond and it is deep!"
+
+Ben is scared, but he wants to help Sara. He runs to the edge of the pond and reaches out his hand. "Grab my hand, Sara!" he says. "I will pull you out!"
+
+Sara grabs Ben's hand and he pulls her out of the pond. She is wet and cold and shivering. Ben hugs her and says, "Are you okay, Sara?"
+
+Sara nods and says, "Thank you, Ben. You are a good friend. I'm sorry I ruined our game."
+
+Ben smiles and says, "It's okay, Sara. The game is not important. You are important. Come on, let's go home and get dry."
+
+They walk home, holding hands. They leave the pond behind, but they don't forget their adventure. They are happy to have each other.
+Lila and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They liked to make a lot of noise with their cars, dolls, and drums. They did not like to clean up their mess.
+
+"Time to put away your toys, kids!" Mom called from the kitchen. "Dinner is ready!"
+
+Lila and Ben did not listen. They kept playing and making noise.
+
+"Did you hear me?" Mom asked, coming into the living room. She saw the filthy floor covered with toys. "This is not okay. You need to clean up your mess."
+
+Lila and Ben did not want to clean up. They wanted to keep playing.
+
+"No!" they said. "We want to play!"
+
+Mom was not happy. She took away their toys and put them in a box.
+
+"No toys for you until you clean up," she said. "Now, repeat after me: I will clean up my mess."
+
+Lila and Ben did not like this. They did not want to repeat Mom's words.
+
+"No!" they said again. "We want our toys!"
+
+Mom shook her head. She did not give them their toys.
+
+"You will not get your toys until you repeat after me: I will clean up my mess," she said.
+
+Lila and Ben realized they had no choice. They wanted their toys back.
+
+"Fine," they said. "We will clean up our mess."
+
+They repeated Mom's words. Then they started to pick up their toys and put them in their baskets.
+
+Mom smiled. She was proud of them.
+
+"Good job, kids," she said. "Now you can have your toys back. And dinner."
+
+Lila and Ben were happy. They got their toys back. And they got to eat dinner.
+
+They learned their lesson. They decided to clean up their mess next time. And to listen to Mom.
+Ben and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of fun making noises and pretending to be animals. But then Ben saw a big pair of scissors on the table. He wanted to see what they could do.
+
+"Look, Lily, I have scissors!" he said, holding them up.
+
+"No, Ben, put them down! They are not for playing!" Lily said, feeling scared. "They can cut you and make you bleed!"
+
+But Ben did not listen. He saw a roll of paper on the floor. It was the wrap that Mommy used to make presents. He thought it would be fun to cut it with the scissors.
+
+He started to snip the wrap into small pieces. He liked the sound and the feeling of the scissors. He did not see that he was also cutting the cord of the lamp that was plugged in the wall.
+
+Suddenly, there was a loud pop and a flash of light. The lamp went out and the room was dark. Ben and Lily heard Mommy scream from the kitchen.
+
+"Ben! Lily! What happened?" Mommy ran into the living room. She saw the scissors, the wrap, and the cord. She was very angry and very worried.
+
+"Ben, you were very naughty! You could have hurt yourself and Lily! You could have started a fire! You are not allowed to touch the scissors or the wrap! They are not toys!" Mommy said, taking the scissors away from Ben.
+
+She hugged Ben and Lily and checked if they were okay. They were both scared and sorry. They said they were sorry to Mommy.
+
+Mommy said she was glad they were not hurt, but they had to learn to be careful and listen. She said they had to help her clean up the mess and fix the lamp. She said they had to be good and play with their toys, not with things that could cut them.
+
+She gave them each a kiss and a hug. She said she loved them, but they had to be more smart and safe. She said she would make them some cookies later, if they behaved.
+
+Ben and Lily nodded and said they loved Mommy too. They helped her pick up the wrap and the cord. They promised to never play with the scissors again. They went back to their toys and played nicely. They waited for the cookies and hoped Mommy was not too mad.
+Ben and Lily were twins. They liked to play outside in the garden. One day, they saw a big bird in the tree. It had red and yellow feathers and a long tail. It was a parrot.
+
+"Hello, bird!" Ben said. "What is your name?"
+
+The bird looked at Ben and said, "Polly. Polly the parrot."
+
+Lily was surprised. She said, "You can talk, bird?"
+
+The bird nodded. It said, "Yes, I can talk. I can say many words. I can say hello, goodbye, thank you, and more."
+
+Ben and Lily were happy. They said, "Wow, you are a smart bird. Do you want to be our friend?"
+
+The bird smiled. It said, "Yes, I want to be your friend. You are nice children. Can I stay with you?"
+
+Ben and Lily looked at each other. They said, "Yes, you can stay with us. We have a big cage for you. You can sleep there at night. And you can play with us in the day."
+
+The bird was glad. It said, "Thank you, Ben and Lily. You are very kind. I like your garden. It is peaceful and beautiful. I like the flowers and the butterflies and the sun."
+
+Ben and Lily hugged the bird. They said, "We like you, Polly. You are a colorful and funny bird. We are happy to have you."
+
+The bird hugged them back. It said, "I like you, Ben and Lily. You are a sweet and friendly children. We are happy to be together."
+Anna liked to grow flowers with her mom. They had a small garden in the backyard, where they planted seeds and watered them every day. Anna loved to see the flowers sprout and bloom in different colors.
+
+One day, Anna's mom told her that they were going to visit her grandma and grandpa, who lived very far away. Anna was excited, because she had not seen them for a long time. She asked her mom if they could bring some flowers for them.
+
+"Of course, we can, sweetie," her mom said. "We can pick some of the prettiest ones and put them in a vase. Grandma and grandpa will love them."
+
+Anna and her mom packed their bags and got in the car. They drove for a long time, until they reached a big house with a porch. Anna saw her grandma and grandpa waiting for them, smiling and waving. She ran out of the car and hugged them.
+
+"Hello, Anna, we missed you so much," her grandma said. "You have grown so much since we last saw you. You are a big girl now."
+
+"Hello, grandma, hello, grandpa, I missed you too," Anna said. "Look, I brought you some flowers from our garden. Mom and I grew them together. Aren't they beautiful?"
+
+"They are gorgeous, Anna, thank you," her grandpa said. "You are very kind and thoughtful. Come on, let's go inside and have some cookies and milk. We have a lot to catch up on."
+
+Anna followed her grandma and grandpa into the house, holding her mom's hand. She felt happy and warm. She loved her family, even if they were distant sometimes. She hoped they could visit more often and grow more flowers together.
+Sara liked to write in her journal every day. She had a pretty journal with flowers and butterflies on the cover. She wrote about what she did, what she saw, and what she felt. She used her crayons to draw pictures too.
+
+One day, she wanted to write about her trip to the zoo. She saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and elephants. She had fun with her mom and dad. She wanted to draw a lion in her journal, but she could not find her yellow crayon. She looked everywhere, but it was not there.
+
+She asked her brother Tom for help. Tom was older and had many crayons. He was playing with his cars on the floor. "Tom, can you help me?" Sara said. "I need a yellow crayon to draw a lion in my journal."
+
+Tom looked at Sara and smiled. He liked his sister and wanted to help her. He got up and went to his desk. He opened his crayon box and took out a yellow crayon. He gave it to Sara and said, "Here you go, Sara. You can use my yellow crayon. I have another one."
+
+Sara was happy and thanked Tom. She took the yellow crayon and went back to her journal. She drew a big lion with a yellow mane and a brown body. She wrote, "I saw a lion at the zoo. It was big and loud. I liked it." She showed her journal to Tom and said, "Look, Tom. This is the lion I saw. Do you like it?"
+
+Tom nodded and said, "Yes, Sara. I like it. It is a pretty lion. You are a good writer and a good drawer. I am proud of you."
+
+Sara hugged Tom and said, "Thank you, Tom. You are a good brother and a good helper. I love you."
+
+They smiled and played together with their crayons and cars. They had a good day.
+Lily and Ben like to play soccer in the park. They have a ball and two cones for the goal. They take turns to kick the ball and try to score.
+
+One day, they hear a loud noise. It is a big truck. The truck is coming fast on the road near the park. It is dangerous. Lily and Ben are scared.
+
+"Run, Lily, run!" Ben shouts. "The truck is too close!"
+
+Lily and Ben drop the ball and run away from the road. They run to the big tree where their mom is sitting. They hug their mom and tell her what happened.
+
+"Are you okay, my loves?" mom asks. "That was a very scary truck. You did the right thing to run away. It is not safe to play near the road. You have to be careful and look and listen."
+
+Lily and Ben nod. They are glad they are safe. They still like to play soccer, but they find a new spot in the park, far from the road. They set up their goal and kick the ball again. They have fun and forget about the truck.
+Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play in the yard. One day, they see a big cage with a bird in it. The bird has many colors. It has red, blue, yellow and green. Tim and Sam want to see the bird better.
+
+They go near the cage and say hello to the bird. The bird says hello back. It can talk! Tim and Sam are very surprised. They ask the bird its name. The bird says its name is Max. Max says he is not happy in the cage. He wants to fly and see the sky.
+
+Tim and Sam feel sorry for Max. They want to help him. They look around and see no one is watching. They open the cage and let Max out. Max is very happy. He thanks Tim and Sam and flies away. He says he will never forget them.
+
+Tim and Sam are happy too. They are glad they helped Max. They hope he will find a good home. They go back to their house and tell their mom what they did. Their mom is proud of them. She says they are very kind and brave. She gives them a hug and a cookie. Tim and Sam are grateful. They love their mom and each other. They think of Max and smile.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big sign. The sign says: "Muffin sale. Tomorrow. At the school."
+
+Lily and Ben love muffins. They want to buy some. But they have no money.
+
+They make a plan. They will do some chores for their moms and dads. They will get some coins. Then they will go to the muffin sale.
+
+They work hard. They help with the dishes, the laundry, and the toys. They get some coins. They put them in a jar.
+
+The next day, they go to the park. They walk to the school. They are very happy.
+
+But when they get to the school, they see a long line. Many people want muffins. The muffins smell good. Lily and Ben are hungry.
+
+They wait in the line. They wait and wait. The line is very slow. They see some muffins on a table. They look yummy.
+
+"Can we have some muffins, please?" Lily asks a lady.
+
+"Sorry, kids. We are almost out of muffins. You have to wait your turn." The lady says.
+
+Lily and Ben are sad. They hope there will be some muffins left for them. They hold their jar of coins. They cross their fingers. They wait some more.
+Lily liked to write in her journal every day. She wrote about what she did, what she saw, and what she felt. She used her crayons to draw pictures and make her journal pretty. She kept her journal under her pillow, so no one else could see it.
+
+One day, Lily came home from school and ran to her room. She wanted to write about the new friend she made, and the new game they played. But when she lifted her pillow, she gasped. Her journal was not there!
+
+She looked around her room, but she could not find it. She felt sad and scared. Who took her journal? Did they read it? Did they laugh at it? She wanted to cry.
+
+She heard a knock on her door. It was her big brother, Tom. He had a big smile on his face and something behind his back.
+
+"Hi, Lily," he said. "Can I come in?"
+
+Lily nodded, but she did not smile back. She was still upset.
+
+Tom came in and sat on her bed. He brought out what he was hiding. It was a new journal, with a shiny cover and a lock and a key. It had Lily's name on it in glitter.
+
+"I have a surprise for you," he said. "I saw your old journal was falling apart, so I got you a new one. I hope you like it."
+
+Lily's eyes widened. She could not believe it. Tom was so nice to her. He gave her a new journal, and he did not read her old one. He was the best brother ever.
+
+She hugged him and thanked him. She took the new journal and opened it. It had blank pages, waiting for her to fill them with her stories and drawings.
+
+She smiled and said, "I love it, Tom. Thank you so much. You are the best surprise ever."
+Tim and Mia like to play with their toys. They have many toys, but their best toy is a big jet. The jet can fly in the air and make loud noises. Tim and Mia pretend they are pilots and go on adventures.
+
+One day, they decide to fly to the moon. They put on their hats and sit in the jet. Tim says, "Ready, Mia? Let's go!" Mia says, "Yes, Tim! Let's go!" They push a button and the jet starts to move. It goes faster and faster and then it goes up in the air.
+
+They see the sky and the clouds and the sun. They are happy and excited. They say, "Wow, look at that!" and "How cool!" They fly higher and higher and then they see the moon. It is big and white and round. They say, "We made it! We are on the moon!"
+
+They want to land on the moon and see what is there. They look for a good spot to land. They see a flat and smooth place. They say, "Let's land there!" They push another button and the jet starts to go down. It goes slower and slower and then it touches the ground.
+
+They are on the moon! They are proud and curious. They want to get out of the jet and explore. They open the door and step out. They feel the ground. It is cold and dusty. They see rocks and craters and stars. They say, "This is amazing!" and "How fun!"
+
+They walk around and play on the moon. They jump and run and roll. They have a lot of fun. They find a big rock and say, "Let's take this home!" They pick up the rock and carry it to the jet. They put it in the jet and say, "This is our moon rock!"
+
+They are ready to go back home. They get in the jet and close the door. They put on their hats and sit in their seats. They say, "Bye, moon! Thank you for the fun!" They push a button and the jet starts to move. It goes faster and faster and then it goes up in the air.
+
+They see the moon and the stars and the sky. They are happy and tired. They say, "That was a great adventure!" and "We are the best pilots!" They fly lower and lower and then they see their home. They say, "We are back!" and "We missed you!"
+
+They land the jet in their yard. They open the door and get out. They hold their rock and say, "Look, mom! Look, dad! We went to the moon and we brought a moon rock!" Mom and dad hug them and say, "Wow, you did? That is awesome! You are very brave and smart!"
+
+Tim and Mia smile and say, "Yes, we are! And we had a lot of fun!" They show their rock and tell their story. Mom and dad listen and say, "We are so proud of you!" and "We love you!" They all go inside and have a snack. They are a happy family.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play in the park near their home. One day, they see a big truck with a loud horn. The truck is going west, to the city.
+
+"Wow, look at that truck!" Ben says. "It is so big and noisy!"
+
+"I don't like it," Anna says. "It makes my ears hurt. And it makes the birds fly away."
+
+They hear the truck honk its horn again. It sounds terrible. Anna and Ben cover their ears.
+
+"Let's go away from the truck," Anna says. "Let's go to the swings."
+
+"OK," Ben says. "Maybe the truck will go away soon."
+
+They run to the swings and take turns pushing each other. They have fun and forget about the truck. They hear the birds sing and the wind blow. They smile and laugh. They like the park.
+Anna and Ben are going on a tour with their mom and dad. They are very happy. They want to see the big animals at the zoo. They get in the car and drive to the zoo.
+
+When they get to the zoo, they see a long line of people. They have to wait for a long time. Anna and Ben are bored. They start to whine and cry. They want to go inside now.
+
+"Mom, dad, can we go in now?" Anna asks.
+
+"Sorry, sweetie, we have to wait our turn. The tour will start soon. Be patient, okay?" Mom says.
+
+But Anna and Ben are not patient. They are upset. They start to kick and scream. They make a lot of noise. The people in the line look at them. Mom and dad are embarrassed.
+
+"Anna, Ben, stop it! You are being very rude. If you don't calm down, we will go home and you won't see any animals. Do you want that?" Dad says.
+
+Anna and Ben don't want that. They want to see the animals. They stop kicking and screaming. They say sorry to mom and dad. They try to be good.
+
+The line moves forward. They get to the gate. They show their tickets. They enter the zoo. They see the tour guide. He smiles at them.
+
+"Welcome to the zoo, everyone! I'm Sam, and I'm going to show you some amazing animals today. Are you ready?" He says.

+Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with toys and do fun things. One day, they see a big house with many cars and a pool. They want to go inside and see.
+
+"Wow, this house is rich!" Tom says. "They have so many things!"
+
+"Let's go and look!" Sam says. "Maybe they have more toys!"
+
+They run to the gate and try to open it. But it is locked. They cannot go in.
+
+"Hey, what are you doing?" A voice says. It is a man. He is angry. He lives in the house.
+
+Tom and Sam are scared. They run away.
+
+"Sorry, mister!" Tom says. "We just wanted to see your things!"
+
+"You cannot do that!" The man says. "This is my house! Go away!"
+
+Tom and Sam go back to their home. They are sad. They do not have many things.
+
+But then they see their mom and dad. They hug them and smile.
+
+"We do not need rich things," Tom says. "We have each other!"
+
+"Yes, we do!" Sam says. "We are happy!"
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with blocks. They have many blocks of different colors and shapes. They can make towers, houses, cars and animals with their blocks.
+
+One day, they go to the toy store with their mom. They see a big box of blocks. The box has many clear blocks. The clear blocks are square. They can see through them. They look like ice or glass.
+
+"Mom, can we buy these blocks?" Lily asks. She likes the clear blocks. They are shiny and pretty.
+
+"Sorry, honey, they are too expensive," Mom says. "We have enough blocks at home. Why don't you look at something else?"
+
+Ben sees a book of dinosaurs. He likes dinosaurs. They are big and strong and scary. He picks up the book and shows it to Mom.
+
+"Mom, can we buy this book?" Ben asks. He wants to learn more about dinosaurs.
+
+"Sure, sweetie, that's a good choice," Mom says. "It's not too expensive and it's educational. You can read it with me or Lily."
+
+Lily and Ben are happy. They put the book in the cart. They say thank you to Mom. They go to the cashier and pay for the book. They can't wait to read it at home. They still like the clear square blocks, but they like the dinosaur book more. They love to learn new things.
+Lily liked to write in her journal every day. She wrote about what she did, what she saw, and what she felt. She drew pictures of her family, her friends, and her toys. She used many colors and stickers to make her journal attractive.
+
+One day, Lily left her journal on the table and went to play outside. She did not see that her dog, Spot, came into the room and smelled her journal. Spot thought that the journal was a snack. He used his teeth to tear the pages and eat them. He made a big mess on the floor.
+
+When Lily came back, she saw what Spot had done. She was very sad and angry. She shouted at Spot, "Bad dog! You ate my journal! That was not food, that was my writing! How could you do that?" Spot looked at Lily with his big eyes and wagged his tail. He did not understand why Lily was upset. He thought he had done something good.
+
+Lily's mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw the torn journal and the guilty dog. She hugged Lily and said, "I'm sorry, honey. Spot did not know that your journal was important to you. He was just hungry and curious. He did not mean to hurt you."
+
+Lily sniffed and said, "But mom, I worked hard on my journal. It was attractive and fun. I wanted to keep it and read it later. Now it's gone."
+
+Lily's mom said, "I know, sweetie. It's okay to feel sad. But you can always make a new journal. You have many more stories to tell and pictures to draw. And maybe you can teach Spot not to eat your things. He loves you and wants to be your friend."
+
+Lily nodded and said, "Okay, mom. I will try. But can we put my journal in a safe place next time?"
+
+Lily's mom said, "Of course, dear. We can put it in a drawer or a shelf where Spot can't reach it. And we can also give him some treats and toys that he can eat and play with. He will be happy and so will you."
+
+Lily smiled and said, "Thank you, mom. You are the best." She gave her mom a hug and a kiss. Then she went to Spot and said, "I'm sorry I yelled at you, Spot. You are a good dog. But please don't eat my journal again. It's not yummy, it's mine." She petted him and gave him a treat. Spot licked her face and wagged his tail. He was happy and so was she.
+Lily and Max were playing in their room. They had many toys, but they liked the telephone best. It was a big telephone with buttons and sounds. They pretended to call their friends and family.
+
+"Hello, is this Grandma?" Lily said into the telephone. She pressed a button and heard a beep.
+
+"Yes, this is Grandma. How are you, Lily?" Max said in a funny voice. He held the other telephone in his hand. He pressed a button and heard a ring.
+
+"I am good, Grandma. I miss you. Can you come and visit us?" Lily said. She pressed another button and heard a click.
+
+"Of course, I can come and visit you. I miss you too. What are you doing?" Max said. He pressed another button and heard a buzz.
+
+"We are playing with the telephone. It is fun. We can make different sounds." Lily said. She pressed another button and heard a whistle.
+
+"That sounds fun. But be careful not to break the telephone. It is not a toy. It is for talking to real people." Max said. He pressed another button and heard a roar.
+
+Lily and Max laughed. They liked the roar sound. They pressed the button again and again. They made the telephone roar louder and louder.
+
+Suddenly, they heard a knock on the door. It was Mom. She looked angry.
+
+"What are you doing? You are making too much noise. The telephone is not a toy. It is for talking to real people. You are disturbing the neighbors. They want to have a peaceful nap." Mom said. She took the telephone from their hands.
+
+"Sorry, Mom. We were just playing. We were pretending to call Grandma." Lily said.
+
+"Me too. Sorry, Mom. We were having fun." Max said.
+
+Mom sighed. She was not happy. She covered the telephone with a blanket. She said, "No more playing with the telephone. It is time for your nap too. Come on, let's go to your beds. Maybe you can call Grandma later, when she is awake."
+
+Lily and Max nodded. They were a little sad. They liked the telephone. But they were also tired. They followed Mom to their beds. They hugged their teddy bears. They closed their eyes. They had a peaceful nap.
+Lily was restless. She did not want to nap. She wanted to play with her toys and books. But Mom said it was nap time and she had to stay in her room.
+
+Lily looked around her room. She saw her teddy bear, her doll, her blocks and her crayons. She also saw a book on her shelf. It was a book about animals. Lily liked animals. She wanted to observe them and learn their names.
+
+She got out of her bed and tiptoed to her shelf. She took the book and opened it. She saw a picture of a big cat with stripes. She knew it was a tiger. She pointed to the word under the picture and tried to say it.
+
+"T-t-tiger," she said softly.
+
+She turned the page and saw a picture of a bird with bright colors. She knew it was a parrot. She pointed to the word under the picture and tried to say it.
+
+"P-p-parrot," she said softly.
+
+She turned the page and saw a picture of a fish with a long nose. She did not know what it was. She pointed to the word under the picture and tried to say it.
+
+"S-s-swordfish," she said softly.
+
+She was proud of herself. She was reading a book. She was learning new words. She was making a spell.
+
+She did not hear Mom coming to her room. She did not see Mom opening the door. She did not notice Mom smiling at her.
+
+"Hello, Lily," Mom said. "What are you doing?"
+
+Lily looked up and saw Mom. She was surprised. She was caught.
+
+"I-I-I'm reading," she said.
+
+Mom walked to her and hugged her. She was not angry. She was happy.
+
+"That's wonderful, Lily," Mom said. "You are a smart girl. You are learning to read. You are making a spell. But you also need to rest. Reading is fun, but napping is good too. How about we read one more page together, and then you can nap with your book?"
+
+Lily nodded. She liked that idea. She liked reading with Mom. She liked napping with her book. She was not restless anymore. She was calm and cozy. She closed her eyes and dreamed of animals.
+Mia and Leo were playing with their toys in the living room. Mia had a big teddy bear that she liked to hug and squeeze. Leo had a toy car that he liked to zoom around the floor. They were having fun, but they also wanted to make something new.
+
+"Let's make a rocket!" Leo said. "We can use this box and some tape and fly to the moon!"
+
+"Okay!" Mia said. "That sounds fun!"
+
+They found a big box in the garage and some tape in the drawer. They used the tape to stick some paper cones on the top and bottom of the box. They also cut out some windows and a door. They drew some stars and planets on the box with crayons.
+
+"Wow, our rocket is so cool!" Mia said. "Can we go inside?"
+
+"Sure!" Leo said. "But we have to wear our helmets and seatbelts. It's a long and distant trip to the moon!"
+
+They put on some plastic bowls as helmets and tied some scarves as seatbelts. They crawled inside the box and closed the door. They pretended to push some buttons and pull some levers.
+
+"Ready for blast off!" Leo said. "Count with me! Three, two, one, go!"
+
+They made some loud noises and shook the box. They imagined they were flying through the sky and seeing the stars and planets. They were having so much fun, they didn't hear their mom calling them for lunch.

+Lily and Max were best friends. They liked to play hide and seek in the park. Lily was very good at hiding. She could hide behind trees, under benches, or in the bushes. Max always had a hard time finding her.
+
+One day, they met a new girl in the park. Her name was Mia. She had long, curly hair and a big, pink dress. She asked Lily and Max if she could play with them. They said yes, and decided to play hide and seek again.
+
+Lily went to hide first. She ran to a big, green slide and climbed up. She hid behind the slide, where no one could see her. She waited for Max and Mia to find her.
+
+Max and Mia looked for Lily. They checked behind trees, under benches, and in the bushes. They could not find her. They started to get tired and bored.
+
+"Where is Lily?" Max asked. "She is very good at hiding."
+
+"Maybe too good," Mia said. "Maybe she does not want to play with us. Maybe she thinks she is better than us."
+
+Mia was envious of Lily. She wished she had long, curly hair and a big, pink dress. She wished she was good at hiding. She did not like Lily.
+
+She saw the slide and had an idea. She ran to the slide and climbed up. She saw Lily behind the slide. She pushed Lily down the slide.
+
+"Found you!" Mia shouted. "You are not so good at hiding. You are a bad friend."
+
+Lily was scared and hurt. She fell down the slide and landed on the ground. She started to cry.
+
+Max saw what Mia did. He was angry and sad. He ran to Lily and helped her up.
+
+"Are you okay, Lily?" Max asked. "Mia was mean to you. She is a bad friend."
+
+Lily nodded. She hugged Max. "You are a good friend, Max. Thank you for helping me."

+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play outside with their dog, Spot. Spot is a big dog with black and white fur. He can run fast and jump high.
+
+One day, Anna and Ben decide to play hide and seek with Spot. Anna counts to ten while Ben and Spot hide. Anna looks for them behind the trees, under the slide, and in the sandbox. She cannot find them anywhere.
+
+"Where are you, Ben? Where are you, Spot?" Anna calls out.
+
+She hears a bark from the shed. She runs to the shed and opens the door. She sees Ben and Spot inside. Ben is lying on a pile of hay. Spot is lying on Ben's waist. They are both resting.
+
+"Found you!" Anna says.
+
+"Shh, we are resting," Ben says. "It is cozy here."

+One day, they found a big steel box in the yard. It was shiny and hard and had a door. They wondered what was inside. They opened the door and saw a lot of buttons and wires and lights. They thought it was a spaceship.
+
+"Let's go to the moon!" Ben said.
+
+"OK!" Mia said.
+
+They climbed inside the box and closed the door. They pushed some buttons and made some noises. They pretended they were flying to the moon. They saw stars and planets and rockets. They had a lot of fun.
+
+But soon they got tired. They yawned and rubbed their eyes. They wanted to sleep.
+
+"Can we sleep in the spaceship?" Mia asked.
+
+"Sure!" Ben said. "It's cozy and warm."
+
+They found a soft blanket and a pillow in the box. They snuggled together and closed their eyes. They dreamed of the moon and the stars and the wild animals.
+
+They did not know that the box was not a spaceship. It was a generator that their dad had bought for the house. He had left it in the yard to install it later. He did not know that his twins had found it and played with it. He would be very surprised when he saw them sleeping in the box. But he would also be very proud of their imagination and curiosity. He would hug them and kiss them and tell them a story about the moon. He would also tell them to be careful with the steel box and not to touch the buttons and wires and lights. He would explain that the box was not a spaceship, but a machine that made electricity. He would show them how it worked and why it was important. He would also tell them that they could make their own spaceship with cardboard and paint and stickers. He would help them make it and play with them. He would also teach them some new words, like generator and electricity and cardboard. Ben and Mia would learn a lot and have more fun. They would love their dad and their spaceship and their yard.

+
+The owner hears the noise. He looks up from his book. He sees Tom and Anna. He is angry.
+
+"Hey, what are you doing?" he says. "You can't touch my dog without asking! He is not friendly to strangers! He is only dependable to me!"

+

+Tom was sad. He wanted to climb the tree very much. He thought his mom was not fair. He said, "But mom, I want to climb the tree. I am not afraid. I can do it. Please, mom, let me climb the tree."
+
+His mom said, "Tom, I know you are brave and strong, but you are also young and small. You need to listen to me and learn from me. I have more wisdom than you. Wisdom means knowing what is good and what is bad, what is right and what is wrong, what is safe and what is dangerous. I love you and I want you to be happy and healthy. Trust me, Tom, the tree is not good for you."
+
+Tom looked at his mom. He saw her eyes and her smile. He felt her hand and her hug. He knew his mom loved him and cared for him. He thought, maybe his mom was right.

+
+Lily said, "Sure. We can do a lot of operations. We can also be independent. That means we can do things by ourselves."
+
+Max said, "I like to be independent. I can number and do operations by myself. But I also like to play with you. You are a good friend."

+
+The bug said, "Bird, I found a big fruit! Let's eat it together." The bird was happy and said, "Okay, let's go!" They started to rush to the fruit. But the bird was fast and the bug was slow. The bird reached the fruit first. The bird thought, "I can eat it all." So, the bird ate the fruit very fast.
+
+Later, the bug reached the fruit. The bug saw the bird ate it all. The bug was sad. The bird felt bad. The bird said, "I am sorry, bug. I should have waited for you."

+
+Nemo swam closer to the shark to say hello. The shark opened his mouth wide and tried to eat Nemo! Nemo was very scared and swam away as fast as he could. 
+
+Nemo met his friend, a wise old turtle named Sammy. Nemo told Sammy about the scary shark. Sammy said, "Nemo, you must be careful. Sharks can be dangerous. You should never pinch or tease them." 
+
+Nemo learned his lesson and promised to always be careful around sharks. From that day on, Nemo and Sammy explored the ocean together and had many adventures.
+Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She loved playing with her toys and running around in the park. One day, she went to her mommy and asked her why the sky was blue.
+
+Mommy smiled and explained, "The sky is blue because of the way the sun shines on the Earth."
+
+Lily listened carefully to her mommy's explanation and formed her own opinion. She thought the blue sky was pretty, but her friend Timmy thought it was bad because it meant it was going to rain.
+
+Later that day, Lily and Timmy played in the park together. They saw some dark clouds and Timmy said, "Oh no, bad clouds!" But Lily disagreed and said, "I think the clouds are pretty, they look like cotton candy." 
+
+In the end, it didn't rain, and Lily and Timmy had a fun day playing together.

+Once upon a time, there was a boy named Timmy. He loved to play outside with his friends. One day, Timmy's friend fell down and hurt his leg. Timmy's mom called the doctor to come and help. The doctor said he needed to do an operation to fix the leg. Timmy was scared, but his mom told him that the doctor was very impressive and would make his friend all better.
+
+After the operation, Timmy's friend felt much better. Timmy asked the doctor how he learned to do such an impressive job. The doctor said he went to school for many years and practiced a lot. Timmy realized that if he wanted to be good at something, he would need to practice too.
+
+The moral of the story is that if you want to be good at something, you need to practice a lot. And if someone needs help, you can call someone who knows what to do, like a doctor.
+Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. One day, she was very hungry and asked her mom for some soup. Her mom gave her a spoon to eat with. 
+
+Lily took a spoonful of soup and put it in her mouth. Suddenly, her mouth felt very spicy and she started to cry. "Mommy, this soup is too spicy!" she said. 
+
+Her mom tasted the soup and realized she put too much spice in it. She tried to fix it by adding more water, but it didn't work. "I'm sorry, Lily. I can't fix it," said her mom. 
+
+Lily didn't want to eat the spicy soup, but she was very hungry. She thought for a moment and then had an idea. "Mommy, can we burn the soup and make something else to eat?" she asked.

+Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Timmy. Timmy loved playing with his toys and going on adventures. One day, Timmy was playing with his favorite toy car when his friend Billy came over.
+
+"Hey Timmy, what are you doing?" Billy asked.
+
+"I'm playing with my car," Timmy replied.
+
+"That's cool! Can I play too?" Billy asked.
+
+"Sure! Let's have a race and see who can gain the most speed," Timmy said.
+
+They raced their cars around the room, but then they heard a loud noise outside. It was the sound of a war starting. Timmy and Billy were scared and didn't know what to do.
+
+"Ignorant me, I don't know what to do," Billy said.
+
+"Don't worry, we'll be safe inside. Let's stay here and play until it's over," Timmy said.

+
+As she drifted off to sleep, Lily dreamed that she was a real princess. She wore her sparkly crown and ruled over her kingdom. But then, a mean dragon came and stole her crown.

+Timmy's friend, Sarah, saw him running and asked, "What are you doing, Timmy?"
+
+"I'm trying to catch that butterfly," Timmy replied.
+
+Sarah said, "Oh, I don't think that's a good idea. It's not nice to waste the butterfly's life just because you want to catch it. Besides, butterflies are very popular creatures. We should let them fly free."

+
+"Good dog, good dog," Tom said. He threw the cookie over the fence. The dog caught the cookie and ate it. He looked happy and grateful.

+"I know, Tom. But some animals are shy and need their space. You have to be careful and respectful when you meet them. Maybe you can gain their trust if you are gentle and quiet," his mom said.
+
+"Okay, mom. I will try that. Can we go to the zoo next time? I want to see more animals. Maybe some great ones, like lions and elephants," Tom said.
+
+"Sure, Tom. We can go to the zoo next time. I'm sure you will love it. But for now, let's go home and put some ice on your finger. It will make it feel better," his mom said.
+
+Tom nodded and hugged his mom. He learned something new today. He learned that moles are small and shy, and that he has to be careful and respectful when he meets new animals.

+
+But Lily and Ben were curious and did not listen. They waited until their mom and dad were busy, and then they sneaked into the stable. They found the new horse in a corner, looking sad and lonely. Lily and Ben walked slowly towards the new horse, and tried to talk to it.

+Lily shook her head and said, "No, mom. But it was loud and mean. I just wanted to hug it."
+
+Her mom said, "I know, sweetie. But you have to be careful with animals you don't know. They might be scared or angry or sick. And you have to be careful with strangers too. They might not be nice or safe. You can only hug people and animals you know and trust. Do you understand?"
+
+Lily nodded and said, "Yes, mom. I'm sorry. I won't do it again."
+
+Her mom said, "It's okay, Lily. I'm glad you're okay. I love you."

+Sara and Ben love to watch films. They have a big box with many films inside. They can choose any film they want and put it in the machine. The machine makes the film show on the wall. Sara and Ben sit on the sofa and eat popcorn. They are very happy.
+
+One day, Sara and Ben get a letter from their grandma. Grandma lives far away. She cannot visit them often. She says she misses them very much. She also says she has a surprise for them. She has sent them a film. A film of her and her dog. Sara and Ben are very excited. They want to see grandma and her dog.
+
+They open the letter and find a small disc. It is the film. They run to the machine and put the disc in. They press the button and wait. The film starts. They see grandma smiling and waving. They see her dog barking and jumping. Grandma says, "Hello, Sara and Ben! I love you very much. I hope you enjoy this film. It is amazing. You can see what I do every day. You can see my garden, my house, my friends, and my dog. He is very funny. He likes to play and chase balls. Watch this!"
+
+Sara and Ben watch the film. They laugh and clap. They see grandma and her dog do many things. They see them walk in the park, bake a cake, read a book, and play with toys. They see them have fun and be happy. Sara and Ben feel like they are with grandma. They feel warm and cozy. They say, "Thank you, grandma! We love you too. Your film is amazing. We like to see you and your dog. You are very nice. We hope to see you soon. Bye, bye!"
+
+They finish the film and hug each other. They put the disc back in the letter. They write a note for grandma. They say, "Dear grandma, we watched your film. It was amazing. We loved it. You and your dog are very cute. We miss you a lot. Please come and visit us soon. We have many films to show you too. Love, Sara and Ben." They put the note and the disc in an envelope. They stick a stamp on it. They go to the mailbox and send it to grandma. They hope she will get it soon. They hope she will like their note. They hope she will be happy. They smile and wave. They go back to their house. They have more popcorn. They watch another film. They are very happy.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and catch it. Sometimes the ball went too far and they had to run after it.
+
+One time, the ball went over the fence and into the street. Tom wanted to get the ball back, but Lily stopped him.
+
+"No, Tom, no! The street is bad. There are big cars and they can hurt you. We have to wait for Mom or Dad to help us," Lily said.
+
+"But I want the ball. It is our ball. We can be fast and get it," Tom said.
+
+He tried to climb the fence, but Lily pulled him down.
+
+"Tom, please, listen to me. It is not safe. Mom and Dad will be mad if they see us in the street. They will be sad if we get hurt. We have to be good and stay in the park," Lily said.
+
+Tom was angry and sad. He wanted the ball, but he did not want to make Mom and Dad mad or sad. He did not want to get hurt by the big cars. He looked at Lily and saw that she was scared and worried.
+
+He sighed and said, "Okay, Lily, you are right. The street is bad and the park is safe. We will wait for Mom or Dad to help us. I am sorry for being mean to you. You are a good sister."
+
+Lily smiled and hugged him. She said, "Thank you, Tom. You are a good brother. I love you."
+
+They sat on the grass and waited for Mom or Dad to come. They hoped they would find the ball and bring it back to them. They were happy to have each other.
+Sara was very excited. She had a new book about fairies. She loved fairies. They had wings and magic and pretty dresses. She wanted to see a real fairy.
+
+She took her book to the garden. She looked for a fairy under the flowers, behind the trees, in the birdhouse. She did not find any fairy. She was sad.
+
+She saw a big pumpkin. It was old and brown. It had holes and bugs. It was rot. Sara thought maybe a fairy lived inside. She went closer. She heard a voice.
+
+"Go away! This is my home!" The voice was small and angry.
+
+Sara was scared. She looked inside the pumpkin. She saw a fairy. But the fairy was not pretty. She was dirty and mean. She had no wings. She had no magic. She had no dress. She had only rags.
+
+"Who are you?" Sara asked.
+
+"I am a fairy. But a bad fairy. I did not listen to the fairy queen. I was naughty and selfish. She took away my wings and my magic and my dress. She sent me to live in this rot pumpkin. I have no friends. I have no fun. I have only bugs." The fairy said.
+
+Sara felt sorry for the fairy. She said, "I am Sara. I like fairies. I have a book about fairies. Do you want to see it?"
+
+The fairy looked at Sara. She saw her book. She saw her smile. She felt something in her heart. She felt a little bit of good. She said, "Yes. I want to see it. Maybe I can learn to be a good fairy again. Maybe I can have wings and magic and a dress. Maybe I can have a friend. Maybe I can have fun. Will you be my friend?"
+
+Sara nodded. She said, "Yes. I will be your friend. Come with me. We can read the book together. We can play in the garden. We can have fun."
+
+The fairy smiled. She said, "Thank you. You are very kind. You are very brave. You are very excited. You are a good fairy." She took Sara's hand. They left the rot pumpkin. They went to the garden. They read the book. They played. They had fun. They were friends.
+Lily liked to feed the pigeons in the park. She had a bag of bread crumbs that she saved from her lunch. She would walk to the park with her mom and look for the pigeons. She liked the gray ones and the white ones and the brown ones. She liked how they cooed and pecked and flapped their wings.
+
+One day, she saw a thin pigeon sitting on a bench. It looked sad and hungry. Lily wanted to help it. She walked slowly to the bench and held out her hand with some bread crumbs. The thin pigeon looked at her and tilted its head. Lily smiled and said, "Hello, pigeon. Do you want some food?"
+
+The thin pigeon paused. It was afraid of Lily. It did not know if she was nice or mean. It had seen some people chase the pigeons and throw things at them. It had seen some cats and dogs try to catch the pigeons and hurt them. It had seen some pigeons get sick and die. It did not have many friends.
+
+But Lily was not like those people or animals. She was gentle and kind. She did not move or make noise. She waited for the thin pigeon to trust her. She wanted to be its friend.
+
+The thin pigeon decided to take a chance. It hopped off the bench and walked to Lily's hand. It pecked at the bread crumbs and made a soft coo. Lily giggled and stroked its feathers. The thin pigeon felt warm and happy. It had found a friend.
+
+Lily and the thin pigeon became friends. She came to the park every day and fed it and played with it. She gave it a name: Fluffy. Fluffy grew stronger and healthier. It learned to fly and follow Lily around. It made friends with the other pigeons. It was not sad or hungry anymore.
+
+Lily and Fluffy were happy. They had each other. They had a lot of fun in the park. They had a lot of love.
+Tom and Amy were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and hide. They saw a big red door in the wall. They wondered what was behind it.
+
+"Let's go and see," said Tom. He ran to the door and pushed it. It was not locked. He opened it and went inside. Amy followed him.
+
+They saw a lot of old things. There were chairs and tables and boxes and books. There were also some shiny things. Tom saw a necklace with a blue stone. He liked it. He took it and put it in his pocket.
+
+"Look at this," said Amy. She saw a picture of a lady and a man. They looked happy. They wore nice clothes. Amy wanted to touch the picture.
+
+But then they heard a loud voice. It was the owner of the house. He was angry. He came to the door and saw Tom and Amy.
+
+"What are you doing here?" he shouted. "This is my house. You are not allowed here. You are bad children. Go away!"
+
+Tom and Amy were scared. They ran to the door. But the owner was faster. He locked the door. He trapped them inside.
+
+"Please, let us go," said Tom. "We are sorry. We did not mean to hurt anything."
+
+"Sorry is not enough," said the owner. "You have to pay for what you did. You have to give me back what you took."
+
+Tom felt ashamed. He knew he did something wrong. He took out the necklace and gave it to the owner.
+
+The owner looked at the necklace. He was surprised. He recognized it. It was his wife's necklace. She died a long time ago. He missed her very much.
+
+He looked at the picture of his wife. He felt sad. He looked at Tom and Amy. They looked sorry. He felt sorry too.
+
+He unlocked the door. He let them go.
+
+"Go home," he said. "And don't come back. And don't take things that are not yours."
+
+Tom and Amy nodded. They ran out of the door. They did not look back. They learned their lesson.
+Lily and Anna are best friends. They like to play together at the park. One day, they see a lady walking with a big dog. The lady has a long skirt that is shiny and pretty. Lily and Anna think the skirt is expensive.
+
+"Wow, look at her skirt!" Lily says. "It is so nice. I want a skirt like that."
+
+"Me too," Anna says. "But I think it costs a lot of money. Maybe we can make our own skirts."
+
+They run to the lady and ask her if they can pet her dog. The lady smiles and says yes. The dog is friendly and licks their faces. Lily and Anna giggle.
+
+"Your skirt is beautiful," Lily says. "Where did you get it?"
+
+"Thank you," the lady says. "I got it from a special shop. It was a gift from my husband. He loves me very much."
+
+Lily and Anna nod. They think the lady is lucky. They also love their parents very much. They wonder if their parents will ever give them expensive skirts.
+
+"Can we have skirts like yours?" Anna asks.
+
+The lady laughs. "Maybe when you grow up," she says. "But you know what? Skirts are not the most important thing. The most important thing is to be kind and happy. That is what makes you beautiful."
+
+Lily and Anna think about what the lady says. They decide she is right. They hug the lady and thank her for letting them pet her dog. Then they run back to the park and play with their toys. They are kind and happy. They are beautiful.
+Lily and Ben are playing with their toys in the living room. They have a tea set, a teddy bear, a doll and a car. They pretend to have a tea party with their toys.
+
+"Would you like some tea, Mr. Bear?" Lily asks, pouring some water from the pot.
+
+"Yes, please, Lily. You are very kind," Ben says, making his teddy bear talk.
+
+Lily smiles and gives him a cup. Then she pours some tea for her doll and herself. She takes a sip and says, "Mmm, this tea is very good. Do you like it, Ben?"
+
+Ben nods and sips his tea. He looks at his car and thinks it looks lonely. He wants to play with it, but he doesn't want to be rude to Lily and their toys. He puts his cup down and says, "Can I play with my car for a bit, Lily?"
+
+Lily frowns and says, "No, Ben. We are having a tea party. You have to stay here and talk to us. It's not nice to leave."
+
+Ben feels sad and says, "But I like my car. It's fun to zoom it around. Can't I play with it and have tea?"
+
+Lily shakes her head and says, "No, you can't. You have to choose. Either you play with your car or you play with us. You can't do both."
+
+Ben thinks this is unfair. He likes both his car and his tea. He doesn't want to choose. He feels angry and says, "Fine, then. I choose my car. I don't want to play with you anymore. You are mean."
+
+He grabs his car and stands up. He walks away from the tea party and goes to the other side of the living room. He zooms his car on the floor and makes loud noises.
+
+Lily feels hurt and says, "Ben, come back. Don't be mad. I'm sorry. I just wanted to have a nice tea party with you. Please, come back."
+
+But Ben doesn't listen. He keeps playing with his car. He is impatient and doesn't want to talk to Lily. He thinks she is bossy and doesn't let him have fun.
+
+Lily starts to cry. She hugs her doll and her teddy bear. She wishes Ben would come back and play with her. She doesn't understand why he is so angry. She thinks he is mean.
+Anna and Ben were twins who liked to go to the museum with their mom. They liked to see the big animals, the shiny rocks, and the old things. But their favorite part was the play room, where they could dress up, draw, and pretend.
+
+One day, they saw a new thing in the play room. It was a purple hat with a feather. Anna wanted to try it on, but Ben saw it first and grabbed it. "I want to borrow the hat!" he said. "No, I want to borrow the hat!" Anna said. They started to pull the hat from each other.
+
+"Stop, stop!" their mom said. "You can take turns with the hat. Ben, you can borrow it for five minutes, then Anna can borrow it for five minutes. OK?" Ben nodded, but Anna pouted. She didn't want to wait.
+
+Ben put on the purple hat and felt very fancy. He walked around the play room, pretending to be a king. He saw a mirror and looked at himself. He smiled and said, "I look great in this hat. Maybe I can keep it."
+
+Anna watched Ben from a corner. She was angry and sad. She wanted to try on the hat too. She thought it was not fair that Ben had it for so long. She looked at the clock and saw that five minutes were almost over. She got ready to ask for the hat.
+
+But then, something happened. A loud alarm went off in the museum. Everyone heard it and got scared. A voice said, "Please stay calm and follow the staff to the exit. There is a fire in the building. We need to evacuate now."
+
+Mom grabbed Anna and Ben by the hand and ran to the door. She forgot about the hat. Ben forgot about the hat too. He was too scared to think about anything else. He dropped the hat on the floor and followed his mom.
+
+They got out of the museum safely and saw the fire trucks and the smoke. They were glad they were OK, but they were also sad about the museum. They hoped it would not burn down.
+
+Anna looked at Ben and said, "Are you OK, Ben?" Ben nodded and said, "Yes, Anna, I'm OK. Are you OK?" Anna nodded and said, "Yes, Ben, I'm OK. But I'm sorry we didn't get to share the hat. It was a nice hat." Ben said, "Me too, Anna. Me too. Maybe we can borrow it again when the museum is fixed." Anna smiled and said, "Maybe, Ben. Maybe." They hugged each other and waited for the fire to go out.
+Anna and Ben were playing in the yard. They liked to look at the sky and pretend they were space explorers. They had a big box that they called their rocket. They put some toys and snacks inside and made noises like a rocket.
+
+"Ready for blast off?" Ben asked.
+
+"Yes, let's go!" Anna said.
+
+They counted down from ten and then lifted the box over their heads. They ran around the yard, pretending they were flying to the moon. They saw birds and clouds and stars. They had a lot of fun.
+
+Suddenly, they saw something bright and fast in the sky. It was a comet. A comet is a big rock that has fire and ice and dust. It flies very far and sometimes you can see it at night.
+
+"Wow, look at that!" Anna said.
+
+"It's a comet! It's so pretty!" Ben said.
+
+They stopped running and watched the comet. It made a long tail of light behind it. They wondered where it came from and where it was going.
+
+"Can we catch it?" Anna asked.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe we can store it in our rocket," Ben said.
+
+They ran after the comet, trying to get closer. They forgot about their box and left it on the ground. They did not see that their dog, Spot, was curious about their rocket. He sniffed the box and found the toys and snacks. He decided to play with them and eat them. He made a big mess.
+
+Anna and Ben did not catch the comet. It was too fast and too far. They gave up and went back to their rocket. They were surprised and sad when they saw what Spot had done.
+
+"Spot, no!" Anna said.
+
+"Bad dog! You ruined our rocket!" Ben said.
+
+Spot wagged his tail and licked their faces. He did not know he did something wrong. He just wanted to have fun too.
+
+Anna and Ben were angry at first, but then they forgave Spot. They loved him and he loved them. They decided to clean up the mess and make a new rocket. They hoped to see another comet someday. They learned that comets are very rare and very special. Just like their friendship.
+One day, Sam and Lily were playing with their toy cars in the park. They liked to make noises and pretend they were driving fast. They saw a big truck with a red light and a loud sound. It was an emergency truck. They wondered what was happening.
+
+"Look, Lily, an emergency truck!" Sam said. "Maybe there is a fire or someone is hurt."
+
+"Let's follow it and see," Lily said. "Maybe we can help."
+
+They ran after the truck, but it was too fast for them. They got lost and ended up in a dark alley. They saw a man with a black mask and a shiny thing in his hand. It was a gun. He was pointing it at a shop. He was going to shoot.
+
+"Sam, I'm scared," Lily whispered. "That man is bad. He has a gun. He will shoot."
+
+"Shh, Lily, don't talk," Sam whispered back. "He will hear us. We have to hide."
+
+They hid behind a trash can and hoped the man would not see them. They wished they had stayed in the park. They wished they had not followed the emergency truck. They wished someone would come and save them. They did not know what to do. They were in trouble. They were in an unknown place.
+Ben and Lily are playing a game. They have cards with animals on them. They take turns to show a card and say the animal's name. If they say it right, they keep the card. If they say it wrong, they give the card to the other player. The one who has the most cards at the end wins.
+
+Ben shows a card with a big cat. He says, "This is a lion. It roars loud." He keeps the card.
+
+Lily shows a card with a bird. She says, "This is a duck. It quacks soft." She keeps the card.
+
+Ben shows a card with a fish. He says, "This is a shark. It bites hard." He keeps the card.
+
+Lily shows a card with a reptile. She says, "This is a snake. It hisses long." She keeps the card.
+
+Ben shows a card with a mammal. He says, "This is a cow. It moos funny." He keeps the card.
+
+Lily shows a card with a bug. She says, "This is a bee. It stings ouch." She keeps the card.
+
+They count their cards. Ben has six cards. Lily has six cards. They have the same number of cards. They both win.
+
+They hug and laugh. They are happy. They are friends.
+
+They hear Mom call them. She says, "Time for medicine, Ben and Lily. Come here, please."
+
+They run to Mom. She gives them a spoon of medicine each. It is sweet and sticky. It makes them feel better. They have a cold.
+
+They say, "Thank you, Mom. We love you."
+
+Mom says, "I love you too, Ben and Lily. You are good and brave. Now go and play some more."
+
+They go back to their game. They have more cards with more animals. They have fun. They learn new words. They are smart.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a shiny box under a tree. They ran to the box and opened it. Inside, there were many pretty things. There were rings, necklaces, bracelets, and earrings. They were all different colors and shapes.
+
+"Wow, look at all this jewelry!" Lily said. "Let's gather them and take them home!"
+
+Ben nodded. He liked the jewelry too. He thought they were very valuable. He and Lily started to fill their pockets with the jewelry. They did not see the sign on the box that said "Do not touch".
+
+A man was watching them from behind a bush. He was the owner of the box. He was a trickster. He liked to fool people with his fake jewelry. He smiled and waited for the right moment.
+
+When Lily and Ben had gathered all the jewelry, they turned to leave. The man jumped out of the bush and shouted, "Stop, thieves! Give me back my jewelry!"
+
+Lily and Ben were scared. They dropped the jewelry and ran away. The man laughed and picked up his box. He said, "Foolish children! They did not know that the jewelry was made of plastic and glass. They are worthless. I have more fun watching them run than selling them."
+Timmy liked to go to the beach with his mom and dad. He liked to play in the sand and splash in the water. He liked to look for shells and crabs and fish. But he did not like jellyfish. They were slimy and stingy and scary.
+
+One day, Timmy saw a big jellyfish on the shore. It was purple and pink and shiny. It looked like a balloon. Timmy wondered if it was alive or dead. He wanted to touch it and see what it felt like. He thought it might be lonely and need a friend.
+
+He ran to the jellyfish and reached out his hand. He did not see his mom and dad waving and shouting at him. He did not hear them say "No, Timmy, don't pick it up!" He did not feel the pain until it was too late.
+
+The jellyfish was alive and angry. It wrapped its long tentacles around Timmy's arm and stung him with its poison. Timmy screamed and dropped the jellyfish. He felt a fire in his skin and a cold in his heart. He fell to the ground and cried.
+
+His mom and dad ran to him and tried to help him. They called for a doctor and a lifeguard. They hugged him and said they loved him. But it was no use. The jellyfish had hurt him too much. Timmy closed his eyes and did not open them again. He was never lonely again.
+Lily and Tom were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big slide. Lily wanted to try it. Tom was fearful. He did not like high things.
+
+"Come on, Tom. Let's climb the slide. It will be fun!" Lily said.
+
+"No, Lily. It is too high. I am scared. You go first. I will wait here." Tom said.
+
+Lily nodded. She climbed the slide. She was brave. She reached the top. She looked down. She smiled. She slid down. She laughed.
+
+"Wow, Lily. You did it. Was it fun?" Tom asked.
+
+"Yes, Tom. It was fun. You should try it. It is not scary. It is easy. Come on, Tom. I will help you." Lily said.
+
+Lily climbed the slide again. She reached the top. She waited for Tom. She waved at him.
+
+"Come on, Tom. You can do it. I am here. I will hold your hand." Lily said.
+
+Tom looked at the slide. He looked at Lily. He wanted to be brave. He wanted to have fun. He took a deep breath. He climbed the slide. He was slow. He was careful. He reached the top. He saw Lily. He saw her hand. He grabbed it.
+
+"Good job, Tom. You did it. Are you ready to slide?" Lily asked.
+
+Tom nodded. He was still fearful. But he was also proud. He slid down with Lily. He screamed. He laughed.
+
+"Wow, Tom. You did it. Was it fun?" Lily asked.
+
+"Yes, Lily. It was fun. Thank you for helping me. You are a good friend." Tom said.
+
+Lily and Tom hugged. They were happy. They climbed the slide again. And again. And again. They had fun.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play in the yard. They have a big ball, a small bike, and a yellow kite. They have fun with their toys.
+
+One day, a new family moves next door. They have a boy named Sam. He is four years old. He has a lot of toys. He has a big bike, a red car, and a blue plane. His toys are expensive.
+
+Sam comes to the yard. He sees Anna and Ben. He says, "Hi, I am Sam. Do you want to play with me?"
+
+Anna and Ben say, "Hi, we are Anna and Ben. Yes, we want to play with you."
+
+Sam says, "OK, let's play with my toys. They are better than yours. Look at my bike. It is big and fast. Your bike is small and slow. You can't fit on my bike."
+
+Anna says, "That's OK. I like my bike. It is just right for me."
+
+Sam says, "Look at my car. It is red and shiny. Your ball is old and dirty. You can't drive my car."
+
+Ben says, "That's OK. I like my ball. It is fun to kick and catch."
+
+Sam says, "Look at my plane. It is blue and loud. Your kite is quiet and boring. You can't fly my plane."
+
+Anna and Ben say, "That's OK. We like our kite. It is pretty and high."
+
+Sam says, "You are silly. My toys are better than yours. They are expensive. You are poor."
+
+Anna and Ben say, "No, we are not. We are happy. We have each other. We have fun with our toys. We don't need expensive toys."
+
+Sam says, "You are weird. I don't want to play with you. I will play with my toys by myself."
+
+Sam goes to his yard. He plays with his toys. He is alone.
+
+Anna and Ben go to their yard. They play with their toys. They are together.
+
+They are happy.
+Ben and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. Ben had a red car and Lily had a yellow doll. They liked to make noises and pretend they were driving and talking.
+
+"Vroom, vroom, I'm going to the park!" Ben said, moving his car on the floor.
+
+"Me too, me too, I'm coming with you!" Lily said, holding her doll.
+
+But then, Ben's car hit Lily's doll and made a loud sound. The doll's head fell off and rolled away.
+
+"Oh no, oh no, my doll is broken!" Lily cried, picking up the head.
+
+"Sorry, sorry, I didn't mean to!" Ben said, looking scared.
+
+"Can you fix it, Ben? Can you fix my doll?" Lily asked, holding the head and the body.
+
+Ben tried to put the head back on the body, but it didn't work. He pushed and twisted, but the head kept falling off.
+
+"I can't fix it, Lily, I can't fix it!" Ben said, shaking his head.
+
+Lily started to cry louder and louder. She threw the head and the body on the floor and ran to her mom.
+
+"Mommy, mommy, Ben broke my doll! He broke my yellow doll!" Lily sobbed, hugging her mom.
+
+Mom looked at the doll and saw that it was broken. She frowned and picked it up.
+
+"Ben, what did you do? Why did you break Lily's doll?" Mom asked, sounding angry.
+
+Ben felt cold and sad. He didn't want to make Lily cry. He didn't want to make Mom angry. He wished he could fix the doll. He wished he could fix everything. But he couldn't. He couldn't fix anything. He was a bad boy. He was a very bad boy.
+Lily and Tom were best friends. They liked to play in the park and share their snacks. One day, they found a big bottle of sauce in the trash. It was red and sticky and smelled good.
+
+"Let's play marry with the sauce!" Lily said. "You can be the groom and I can be the bride."
+
+"OK!" Tom said. "But how do we play marry?"
+
+Lily thought for a moment. She remembered seeing her aunt and uncle get married last week. They wore nice clothes and had a cake and flowers. And they kissed.
+
+"We need to wear nice clothes and have a cake and flowers," Lily said. "And we need to kiss."
+
+Tom nodded. He liked cake and flowers. And he liked Lily. They ran to their houses and put on their nicest clothes. Lily wore a pink dress and Tom wore a blue shirt. They took some cookies and candies from the kitchen and made a cake. They picked some daisies and roses from the garden and made a bouquet.
+
+They went back to the park and found a big tree. They put the sauce bottle under the tree and pretended it was a priest. They held hands and said, "I do, I do, I do." Then they kissed. It was sweet and sticky.
+
+They were very happy. They ate their cake and threw their flowers in the air. They hugged and kissed some more.
+
+But then they heard a loud growl. It was a big, hairy dog. It smelled the sauce and wanted some. It ran to the tree and grabbed the bottle. It shook it and sprayed sauce everywhere. It barked and licked its lips.
+
+Lily and Tom were scared. They ran away from the dog. They were covered in sauce and dirt and petals. They looked at each other and laughed. They didn't care. They were married. And they loved each other.
+Tom and Lily were camping with their dad in the woods. They had a big tent where they slept at night. They liked to look at the stars and listen to the sounds of the animals.
+
+One night, Tom woke up and heard a loud roar. He was scared and shook Lily to wake her up. "Lily, Lily, do you hear that? It sounds like a scary bear!" he whispered.
+
+Lily opened her eyes and heard the roar too. She hugged Tom and said, "Don't worry, Tom, dad is here. He will protect us from the bear. Let's call him."
+
+They shouted, "Dad, dad, help! There is a scary bear outside the tent!"
+
+Their dad heard them and rose from his sleeping bag. He grabbed a flashlight and a stick and went outside the tent. He shone the flashlight around and saw a big shadow moving in the bushes.
+
+He said, "Who's there? Show yourself!"
+
+The shadow came out of the bushes and it was not a bear. It was a big dog with a collar and a tag. It wagged its tail and licked dad's hand.
+
+Dad laughed and said, "It's not a bear, kids, it's a dog. He must have escaped from his owner. He's friendly, see?"
+
+He brought the dog inside the tent and introduced him to Tom and Lily. They petted him and gave him some water and food. The dog was happy and snuggled with them.
+

+Tommy liked to play with his cards. He had many cards with different pictures and colors. He liked to make piles and match them. Sometimes he showed his cards to his mom and dad and they smiled.
+
+One day, Tommy found a new card in his box. It was shiny and had a star on it. Tommy liked the star card. He put it on top of his pile and looked at it. He wondered what it could do.
+
+He touched the star card with his finger. Suddenly, the card vanished. Tommy was surprised. He looked around. He could not see the card anywhere. He felt sad. He wanted his star card back.
+
+He heard a giggle behind him. He turned around and saw his sister Lily. Lily was chubby and had curly hair. She was holding the star card in her hand. She had taken it when Tommy was not looking.
+
+"Give me my card!" Tommy said. He tried to grab the card from Lily, but she was faster. She ran away with the card, laughing. Tommy chased her around the house. He wanted his card back. He was angry.
+
+Mom and dad saw Tommy and Lily running and shouting. They stopped them and asked what was wrong. Tommy told them about the star card and how Lily took it. Lily said she was sorry and gave the card back to Tommy. Tommy hugged the card and smiled. He was happy.

+
+She asked her mom to take her to Lily's house. Mom agreed and they got in the car. On the way, Anna saw other people's gifts. They had shiny paper, ribbons, flowers and stickers. They looked very pretty. Anna looked at her package and felt sad. It was brown, torn and ugly. She thought Lily would not like it.

+
+Anna felt happy and surprised. She realized that Lily did not care about how the package looked. She cared about how Anna felt.

+
+Tom and Sam hug each other. They are glad they are okay. They say, "We are sorry, bull. We did not mean to make you mad. We will not pick your flowers again." The bull calms down. He goes back to his grass. He does not care about Tom and Sam anymore.
+
+Tom and Sam go to Mom. They tell her what happened. Mom is happy they are safe. She is not happy they were near the bull. She says, "You should listen to Sam. He is a good friend.

+Anna and Ben like to play with balls. They have many balls of different colors and sizes. They like to kick the balls and see how far they go. Sometimes they make a pattern with the balls on the grass. They put the balls in a line or a circle or a square.
+
+One day, they find a new ball in the park. It is very big and shiny. It has many colors on it, like a rainbow. Anna and Ben think it is a rare ball. They want to play with it. They take turns to kick the ball and watch it bounce and roll.

+
+"We are sorry!" Anna says. "We did not see you. We just wanted to play with it. It is a very nice ball."
+
+"Please don't be mad!" Ben says. "We can share the ball. We can play together. We can make a pattern with our balls."
+
+The boy stops and looks at them. He sees their balls on the grass. He sees their friendly faces. He feels a little better.
+
+"OK, maybe we can play together," he says. "But you have to be careful with my ball. It is a rare ball. My grandma gave it to me. It is very special to me."
+
+Anna and Ben nod and smile. They understand. They like the boy and his ball. They invite him to join their game. They kick the balls and make a pattern. They have fun and make a new friend.
+Lily and Ben were playing with their toy cars in the garden. They liked to make them speed on the grass and the dirt. They pretended they were racing drivers and made loud noises.
+
+"Look at my car, Lily! It is so fast and attractive!" Ben said, showing off his red car with shiny stickers.
+
+"My car is faster and more attractive than yours, Ben!" Lily said, holding her blue car with glittery stars.
+
+They decided to have a race to see who had the best car. They lined up their cars at the start and counted to three.
+
+"Ready, set, go!" they shouted and pushed their cars forward.
+
+But as they sped along, they did not see a big nail on the ground. Ben's car hit the nail and popped one of its wheels. The car spun out of control and crashed into a flower pot. Lily's car also hit the nail and lost its glittery stars. The car flipped over and landed on its roof.
+
+"Oh no! Our cars are broken!" they cried, running to their cars.
+
+They felt sad and sorry for their cars. They wished they had not been so boastful and careless.
+
+They looked at each other and said, "We are sorry, Lily/Ben. We should not have said our cars were better than yours. They were both fast and attractive. We should have been more careful and kind."
+
+They hugged and helped each other fix their cars. They learned their lesson and decided to share and play nicely with their cars. They had more fun and were happier that way.

+
+"Me too, Ben. I love camp, too!" Anna said.
+
+They hugged each other and said good night. They fell asleep with smiles on their faces. They dreamed of more adventures at camp.
+Lily liked to cook with her mom. They made rice for dinner. Lily helped to wash the rice and put it in the pot. Mom turned on the fire and waited for the rice to boil.
+
+"Can I do something else, Mom?" Lily asked.
+
+"Yes, you can. You can spread some butter on the bread. That will make it yummy," Mom said.
+
+Lily took a knife and a plate. She got some butter from the fridge. She cut a slice of bread and put it on the plate. She tried to spread the butter on the bread, but it was hard and cold.
+
+"Mom, the butter is not spreading. It is too hard," Lily said.
+
+"Oops, I forgot to take it out earlier. Here, let me help you. We can put the butter in the microwave for a few seconds. That will make it soft and easy to spread," Mom said.
+
+She took the butter and the plate and put them in the microwave. She pressed some buttons and waited. The microwave made a beep sound. Mom took out the butter and the plate. The butter was soft and melted.
+
+"See, now you can spread it on the bread. Be careful, it is hot," Mom said.
+
+She gave the plate and the knife back to Lily. Lily spread the butter on the bread. It was smooth and shiny. She took a bite. It was warm and tasty.
+
+"Mmm, this is good. Thank you, Mom," Lily said.
+
+"You're welcome, sweetie. You are a good helper. Now, let's check on the rice. I think it is ready," Mom said.
+
+They went to the stove and turned off the fire. Mom opened the lid of the pot. The rice was fluffy and white. She scooped some rice into a bowl and gave it to Lily.
+
+"Here you go. Enjoy your dinner," Mom said.
+
+Lily ate her rice and bread. She liked them both. She was happy to cook with her mom. Cooking was fun. Rice and bread were popular. Lily and Mom smiled at each other. They had a good time.
+Lily and Tom were twins who loved to play outside. They liked to run, jump, climb and explore. One day, they found a big pumpkin in the garden. It was orange and round and had a green stem.
+
+"Look, a pumpkin!" Lily said. "Can we take it home?"
+
+"Yes, let's take it home!" Tom said. "We can make a face on it and put a light inside."
+
+They picked up the pumpkin and carried it to the house. It was heavy and hard, but they were strong and happy. They put the pumpkin on the porch and ran inside to tell their mom.
+
+"Mom, mom, we found a pumpkin!" they shouted.
+
+"That's wonderful, my darlings!" their mom said. "But you are very dirty from playing outside. You need to bathe before you can carve the pumpkin."
+
+Lily and Tom did not want to bathe. They wanted to play with the pumpkin. They made a sad face and said, "But mom, we are not dirty. We are just wild!"
+
+Their mom smiled and said, "I know you are wild, but you are also dirty. And dirty children can get sick and itchy. Come on, let's go to the bathroom and bathe. I will help you wash your hair and scrub your feet. Then you can put on your pajamas and carve the pumpkin. How does that sound?"
+
+Lily and Tom thought about it. They did not like to be sick and itchy. They liked to be clean and cozy. And they liked to carve the pumpkin. They nodded and said, "OK, mom, we will bathe. But can we keep the pumpkin on the porch until we are done?"
+
+"Of course, my darlings," their mom said. "The pumpkin will wait for you. Now let's go and bathe. It will be fun!"
+
+Lily and Tom followed their mom to the bathroom. They took off their clothes and got into the tub. Their mom poured warm water and bubbles on them. They splashed and giggled and washed each other. They felt the dirt and sweat wash away. They felt fresh and soft and happy. They thanked their mom and got out of the tub. They dried themselves and put on their pajamas. They were ready to carve the pumpkin.
+
+They ran to the porch and saw the pumpkin. It was still there, waiting for them. It looked even more orange and round and beautiful in the moonlight. They hugged the pumpkin and said, "We love you, pumpkin. You are our friend. We will make you a face and a light. You will be the best pumpkin ever!"
+
+The end.
+Tom is a boy who likes to play with water. He has a big tap in his garden that makes water come out. He likes to turn the tap on and off and make the water go high and low. He likes to splash the water on his face and his feet.
+
+One day, Tom wants to play with the tap, but his mum says no. She says the tap is broken and the water is weak. She says Tom has to wait for dad to fix the tap. Tom is sad and angry. He does not want to wait. He wants to play with the water now.
+
+Tom waits until his mum is busy in the kitchen. Then he runs to the garden and stands by the tap. He turns the tap hard and tries to make the water come out. But the tap is very broken and the water is very weak. The tap makes a loud noise and then it breaks off. The water comes out very fast and very strong. It hits Tom in the face and knocks him down. It hurts a lot and makes him cry.
+
+Tom's mum hears the noise and comes to the garden. She sees Tom on the ground and the water everywhere. She is very scared and very angry. She turns off the water and picks up Tom. She takes him to the house and cleans his face. She says Tom is naughty and he has to go to his room. She says he can't play with the tap ever again. Tom is very sorry and very sad. He wishes he had listened to his mum. He wishes he had not broken the tap. He wishes he had not hurt himself. He wishes he had a good ending.
+Lily and Tom were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a fat duck on the bridge. The duck was quacking loud.
+
+"Hello, duck!" Lily said. "Why are you so fat?"
+
+The duck looked at Lily and Tom. He smiled. "I am fat because I eat a lot of bread. People give me bread every day. Do you have some bread for me?"
+
+Lily and Tom shook their heads. They did not have any bread. They only had apples and carrots.
+
+"Sorry, duck. We have no bread. But we have apples and carrots. Do you want some?" Tom asked.
+
+The duck frowned. He did not like apples and carrots. He only liked bread.
+
+"No, thank you. I do not want apples and carrots. I want bread. Please give me bread!" the duck said.
+
+Lily and Tom felt sorry for the duck. They wanted to make him happy. They looked around. They saw a man with a bag of bread. He was feeding some pigeons.

+Lila and Tom were on a big plane with their mom and dad. They were going to a new country to see their grandma and grandpa. Lila was happy, but Tom was scared. He did not like the loud noise and the high sky.

+"Mom, I don't want to be on the plane. It is scary. Can we go back home?" Tom said.
+
+Mom hugged Tom and said, "It's okay, Tom. The plane is safe and fast. We will be in the new country soon. Grandma and grandpa are waiting for us. They have a big house and a nice garden. You will like it there."

+Anna likes to play with her shadow. She makes funny shapes with her hands and feet and watches her shadow copy her. Sometimes she pretends her shadow is a friend and talks to it.
+
+One day, Anna sees a mysterious shadow on the wall. It is not her shadow or her mom's shadow or her cat's shadow. It is a big and dark shadow that looks like a monster. Anna is scared and runs to her mom.
+
+"Mom, mom, there is a scary shadow on the wall!" Anna cries.
+
+Mom looks at the wall and sees the shadow. She smiles and says, "Don't be afraid, Anna. That is not a real monster. That is just a shadow of a tree outside. The wind is blowing the branches and making the shadow move."
+
+Anna looks again and sees that mom is right. The shadow is not a monster, but a tree. She feels silly and laughs.

+One day, Lily finds a pen in her mom's bag. She thinks it is a toy. She takes the pen and runs to her room. She wants to sing and draw with the pen. She opens the pen and sees a red liquid inside. She thinks it is juice. She puts the pen in her mouth and squeezes.
+
+"Ow! Ow! Ow!" Lily cries. The pen is not juice. It is spicy and hurts her tongue. She spits out the pen and the red liquid. She runs to her mom and cries.
+
+"Mommy, mommy, help me! The pen is spicy and bad!" Lily says.
+
+Mommy sees Lily's mouth and the pen. She understands what happened. She hugs Lily and gives her a glass of water.

+They snuggle under the covers and yawn. They close their eyes and fall asleep.
+
+They do not hear the guide calling for them. They do not hear the other visitors walking by. They do not hear the clock striking the hour. They do not hear the guards coming to check the rooms.

+
+Lisa thinks for a moment. She sees a box of cookies on the table. "How about cookies?" she suggests. "We can provide cookies to our friends and family."

+
+Lisa has an idea. She grabs a piece of paper and a crayon. She draws some shapes and colors on the paper. "This is a sign," she says. "It tells us where to go. See, this is our house, and this is grandma's house, and this is the park, and this is the school."
+
+"Wow, you are good at drawing," Tom says. "But how do we stick the sign to our toys?"
+
+Lisa looks around. She sees some tape on the desk. She runs to get it. She cuts a piece of tape and sticks the sign to her doll's dress. "There," she says. "Now my doll can provide cookies to grandma's house."
+
+Tom does the same. He sticks the sign to his truck's door. "Now my truck can provide cookies to the park," he says.
+
+They are ready to go. They pick up their toys and the box of cookies. They walk to the door. But before they can open it, they hear a voice.
+
+"Hey, kids, what are you doing with my cookies?" It is mom. She sees them with the box. She looks at the sign. She smiles.
+
+"We are delivery people, mom," Lisa says. "We are providing cookies to different places."
+
+"That's very nice of you," mom says. "But you know, cookies are fragile. They can break easily. You have to be careful with them."
+
+"We will, mom," Tom says. "We will be gentle and fast."
+
+Mom nods. She opens the door for them. "Okay, then. Have fun, delivery people. And don't forget to share."
+
+"Thank you, mom," Lisa and Tom say. They go outside with their toys and the box of cookies. They are happy. They are delivery people.
+Lila and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. But sometimes Lila is bossy. She tells Ben what to do and what not to do.
+
+One day, they find a big slide. Lila wants to go first. She says, "Ben, you wait here. I go first. You are too small for the slide. You might fall."
+
+Ben feels sad. He wants to try the slide too. He says, "No, Lila. I am not too small. I can try the slide. You are not the boss of me."
+
+Lila gets angry. She says, "Yes, I am. I am older and bigger than you. You have to do what I say. Now move away."
+
+Ben does not move. He says, "No, you move. You are not nice. You are bossy. I don't want to play with you."
+
+Lila and Ben start to push and shout. They make a lot of noise. The other kids in the park look at them. They do not like the noise.
+
+A lady comes to them. She is the park keeper. She says, "What is going on here? Why are you fighting? You have to share the slide. You have to be kind to each other. You have to say sorry."
+
+Lila and Ben stop fighting. They look at the lady. They feel ashamed. They say sorry to each other. They say sorry to the lady.
+
+The lady smiles. She says, "That's good. Now you can play together. You can take turns on the slide. You can have fun. You can be friends."
+
+Lila and Ben nod. They go to the slide. They take turns. They have fun. They are friends. They are not bossy. They are happy.
+Lily and Ben were adventurous friends. They liked to explore new places and touch different things. One day, they found a big group of rocks near the park. They wanted to climb on them and see what was on the other side.
+
+"Come on, Ben, let's go!" Lily said. She ran to the rocks and touched one with her hand. It was hard and rough. She put her foot on it and tried to lift herself up.
+
+"Wait, Lily, be careful!" Ben said. He followed her and touched another rock. It was smooth and shiny. He wondered what it was made of.
+
+They climbed from rock to rock, helping each other and having fun. They saw some flowers, some bugs, and some birds on the way. They felt happy and curious.
+
+Finally, they reached the top of the rocks and looked around. They saw a big lake with sparkling water and a small island in the middle. They also saw a boat with some people on it. They waved to them and they waved back.
+
+"Wow, this is amazing!" Lily said. "Do you think we can go to the island?"
+
+"Maybe, but we need to ask our parents first," Ben said. "They are waiting for us at the park."
+
+"Okay, let's go back then," Lily said. "But we can come here again, right?"
+
+"Of course, we can," Ben said. "We are adventurous friends, remember?"
+
+They smiled and hugged each other. Then they climbed down the rocks and ran to the park, where their parents were happy to see them. They told them about their adventure and asked if they could go to the island next time. Their parents agreed, as long as they were careful and stayed together. Lily and Ben thanked them and hugged them. They were excited for their next adventure.
+Lily was playing with her doll in the garden. She liked to pretend that her doll was a doctor and she was a patient. She wrapped a bandage around her doll's arm and said, "There, you are all better now."
+
+But then she heard a loud noise from the shed. She ran to see what it was. She saw a big bird trapped inside a cage. The bird looked sad and scared. It had a hurt wing.
+
+"Who are you?" Lily asked the bird.
+
+"I am a parrot," the bird said. "Someone put me in this cage and locked it. Can you help me?"
+
+Lily felt sorry for the parrot. She wanted to help him. She looked around and saw a key hanging on the wall. She reached for it and tried to unlock the cage. But the key was too big and heavy for her. She could not turn it.
+
+She did not know what to do. She thought of her doll. She remembered that her doll was a doctor. Maybe her doll could help the parrot.
+
+She ran back to the garden and brought her doll. She showed her doll the parrot and the cage. She said, "This is a parrot. He is hurt and locked. Can you help him?"
+
+Her doll nodded. She was a wise doll. She knew what to do. She took the bandage from her arm and gave it to Lily. She said, "Use this bandage to make a sling for the parrot's wing. Then he will feel better."
+
+Lily did what her doll said. She wrapped the bandage around the parrot's wing and made a sling. The parrot smiled. He said, "Thank you. You are very kind."
+
+Then her doll said, "Now we need to unlock the cage. But the key is too big for us. We need someone bigger and stronger."
+
+Lily thought of her dad. He was big and strong. He could unlock the cage. She ran to the house and called for him. She said, "Dad, dad, come quick. There is a parrot in the shed. He is hurt and locked. Can you help him?"
+
+Her dad followed her to the shed. He saw the parrot in the cage. He saw the bandage on his wing. He saw the key on the wall. He said, "Who did this to you, little parrot?"
+
+The parrot said, "I don't know. I was flying in the sky and then someone caught me and put me in this cage. Please let me out."
+
+Her dad felt angry and sad. He said, "That was very mean and wrong. Don't worry, I will let you out." He took the key and unlocked the cage. He opened the door and lifted the parrot out. He said, "You are free now, little parrot. You can fly away."
+
+The parrot thanked him. He said, "You are very good and brave. Thank you for saving me."
+
+He looked at Lily and her doll. He said, "And thank you, little girl and little doll. You are very sweet and wise. You helped me feel better."
+
+He flapped his wings and flew away. He said, "Goodbye, friends. I will never forget you."
+
+Lily and her doll waved goodbye. They were happy that they helped the parrot. They hugged each other and said, "We are a good team. We are doctors and friends."
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big oak tree with many leaves. They wanted to climb it.
+
+"Can we go up?" Lily asked Ben.
+
+"Yes, let's go!" Ben said. They ran to the tree and grabbed the branches. They pulled themselves up and up. They felt happy and brave.
+
+They reached a high spot and looked around. They saw the sky and the birds and the flowers. They saw other kids playing on the swings and the slide. They smiled and waved.
+
+"Look, a squirrel!" Lily said. She pointed to a furry brown animal on a branch. It had a long tail and small ears. It was eating a nut.
+
+"Hello, squirrel!" Ben said. He reached out his hand to touch it. The squirrel looked at him and made a noise.
+
+"Be careful, Ben!" Lily said. "It might bite you!"
+
+Ben did not listen. He wanted to pet the squirrel. He poked it with his finger. The squirrel did not like that. It jumped and scratched Ben's hand. Ben cried out and let go of the branch. He fell down and landed on the grass.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Ben said. He held his hand and sobbed. Lily climbed down and ran to him. She hugged him and said sorry.
+
+"Are you okay, Ben?" Lily asked.
+
+"No, it hurts!" Ben said. He showed Lily his hand. It had a red mark and some blood.
+
+"Let's go to mom!" Lily said. She helped Ben stand up and walk. They saw their mom sitting on a bench. She had a book and a bottle of water. She saw them and looked worried.
+
+"What happened, kids?" Mom asked.
+
+"A squirrel poked Ben!" Lily said.
+
+"A squirrel poked me!" Ben said.
+
+Mom took Ben's hand and looked at it. She said it was not fair. She said the squirrel was mean. She said she would make it better. She took a tissue and some water and cleaned Ben's hand. She gave him a band-aid and a kiss. She hugged him and said he was brave.
+
+"Thank you, mom!" Ben said.
+
+"You're welcome, Ben!" Mom said. She smiled and said they were good kids. She asked if they wanted to play some more or go home.
+
+"Can we play some more?" Lily asked.
+
+"Okay, but be careful!" Mom said.
+
+"Okay, mom!" Lily and Ben said. They ran back to the park. They played on the swings and the slide. They did not poke any more squirrels. They had fun.
+Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with cars and balls. But this year is rough for them. They cannot go to school or see other friends. They have to stay at home a lot. They suffer from being bored and lonely.
+
+One day, Tom calls Sam on the phone. He says, "Sam, I miss you. Do you want to play with me?"
+
+Sam says, "Yes, Tom, I miss you too. But we cannot play together. We have to be safe."
+
+Tom says, "But we can play on the phone. We can pretend we have cars and balls. We can make noises and stories."
+
+Sam says, "That sounds fun. OK, let's play on the phone. Maybe soon we can play for real."
+
+Tom and Sam play on the phone for a long time. They make noises and stories with their cars and balls. They laugh and smile. They feel less bored and lonely. They are still friends. They hope this year will end soon. They hope next year will be better.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to water the flowers and the grass. They had a big hose that made water come out fast. Lily held the hose and Ben ran around.
+
+"Look, Ben, I can make a rainbow!" Lily said. She moved the hose in the air and saw the colors. Ben looked up and smiled.
+
+"Wow, that's pretty!" he said. He ran towards the rainbow. He wanted to touch it.
+
+But Lily did not see him. She kept moving the hose. She soaked Ben with water. Ben felt cold and wet. He stopped and cried.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow! Lily, why did you do that?" he said. He was angry and sad.
+
+Lily turned off the hose. She saw Ben and felt sorry. She did not mean to hurt him. She ran to him and hugged him.
+
+"I'm sorry, Ben. I did not see you. I was making a rainbow. Are you okay?" she said.
+
+Ben sniffed and nodded. He hugged her back. He was still cold and wet, but he was not angry and sad anymore.
+
+"It's okay, Lily. I forgive you. But next time, be careful. You soaked me like a sponge. That was rare. I don't like it." he said.
+
+Lily nodded. She was glad that Ben was not mad at her. She smiled and said, "I love you, Ben. You are my best brother. Do you want to go inside and get dry?"
+
+Ben smiled and said, "I love you, too, Lily. You are my best sister. Yes, let's go inside and get dry. And maybe we can have some cookies, too."
+
+They held hands and walked to the house. They left the hose and the rainbow behind. They were happy and warm.
+Sara and Tom were playing with their toy rockets. They liked to pretend they were going to different planets. Sara had a red rocket and Tom had a blue one.
+
+"Let's go to the green planet!" Sara said. "It has a lot of trees and animals."
+
+"OK!" Tom said. "But I want to go to the yellow planet next. It has a lot of sand and sun."
+
+They zoomed their rockets in the air and made noises. They landed on the green planet and got out of their rockets.
+
+"Wow, look at that!" Sara said. She pointed to a big bird with colorful feathers. It was sitting on a branch and singing.
+
+"It's so pretty!" Tom said. He wanted to touch it. He walked towards the bird slowly and reached out his hand.
+
+"Be gentle, Tom!" Sara said. "Don't scare it!"
+
+But Tom was not gentle. He grabbed the bird by its tail and pulled it hard. The bird squawked and bit Tom's finger. Tom let go of the bird and cried.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Tom said. "It hurt me!"
+
+The bird flew away and the other animals hid. Sara ran to Tom and hugged him.
+
+"I'm sorry, Tom," Sara said. "But you should not have done that. You made the bird angry and sad. You should have been gentle."
+
+Tom looked at his finger. It was bleeding and sore. He looked at Sara. He looked at the green planet. He felt bad.
+
+"I'm sorry, Sara," Tom said. "I regret what I did. I was not nice to the bird. I was not nice to the planet. Can we go back to our rockets and say sorry?"
+
+Sara nodded. She took Tom's hand and they walked back to their rockets. They said sorry to the bird and the planet. They hoped they would forgive them. They got in their rockets and flew away. They decided to be more gentle and kind to all the planets they visited.
+Sara was very happy. She had an invitation to go to Ben's birthday party. Ben was her best friend. He lived in a big house with a big garden. Sara wanted to play with Ben and his toys.
+
+But it was very cold outside. Sara's mom said, "You need to wear your coat and hat and gloves. It is too cold to go without them." Sara did not like her coat and hat and gloves. They were itchy and tight and boring. She wanted to wear her dress and shoes and necklace. They were pretty and shiny and fun.
+
+Sara had an idea. She said, "Mom, can I take my dress and shoes and necklace in my bag? I can change when I get to Ben's house." Sara's mom said, "OK, but you have to promise to wear your coat and hat and gloves until you get there. And you have to ask Ben's mom if you can change. Do you understand?" Sara nodded and smiled. She put her dress and shoes and necklace in her bag. She wore her coat and hat and gloves. She said, "Thank you, mom. I love you."
+
+Sara's mom drove her to Ben's house. Sara saw Ben waiting at the door. He had a big balloon and a big smile. He said, "Hi, Sara. I'm so glad you came. Come in, come in. We have cake and games and presents." Sara said, "Hi, Ben. I'm so happy to see you. Happy birthday." She gave him a hug and a card.
+
+Sara went inside with Ben. She saw Ben's mom. She said, "Hello, Mrs. Smith. Thank you for inviting me. Can I ask you something?" Ben's mom said, "Of course, Sara. What is it?" Sara said, "Can I take off my coat and hat and gloves and change into my dress and shoes and necklace? I brought them in my bag. They are very pretty and shiny and fun." Ben's mom looked at Sara. She smiled and said, "Sure, Sara. You can change in Ben's room. But you have to wear your coat and hat and gloves again when you go outside. It is very cold today. Do you understand?" Sara nodded and smiled. She said, "Thank you, Mrs. Smith. I love you." She ran to Ben's room. She changed into her dress and shoes and necklace. She felt very pretty and shiny and fun. She was ready to enjoy the party.
+Sara and Tom were playing with their toys in the living room. They liked to pretend they were superheroes and villains. Sara was the good superhero and Tom was the bad villain. They made loud noises and ran around the room.
+
+"Stop, villain! You can't take my teddy bear!" Sara shouted.
+
+"Ha ha ha! I am the most powerful villain in the world! I have a tornado that can blow away anything!" Tom said, holding a fan.
+
+He turned on the fan and pointed it at Sara's teddy bear. The bear flew off the couch and landed on the floor.
+
+"Hey, that's not fair! Give me back my teddy bear!" Sara cried.
+
+She ran to the floor and picked up her bear. She hugged it and glared at Tom.
+
+"You are a mean villain! You are not my brother anymore!" she said.
+
+Tom felt bad. He didn't mean to make Sara cry. He just wanted to have fun. He turned off the fan and put it down.
+
+"I'm sorry, Sara. I was just playing. I don't want to be a mean villain. I want to be your brother." he said.
+
+He walked over to Sara and gave her a hug. He smiled and said, "Can we be friends again?"
+
+Sara looked at Tom. She saw that he was sorry. She smiled and said, "Okay, we can be friends again. But you have to be a nice villain. And you have to share your toys."
+
+Tom nodded and said, "Okay, I will be a nice villain. And I will share my toys. Can we play some more?"
+
+Sara nodded and said, "Yes, we can play some more. But let's not use the fan. It's too loud and dangerous. Let's use something else."
+
+They looked around the room and saw a chubby cat sleeping on the chair. They decided to use the cat as their tornado. They gently picked up the cat and pretended it was a tornado. They made soft noises and ran around the room.
+
+The cat didn't mind. It liked to be cuddled and played with. It purred and licked their faces.
+
+Sara and Tom had fun playing with the cat. They learned to be kind and share. They also learned to be careful and not delay their toys. They were happy and loved each other. They were the best superheroes and villains in the world.
+Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play in the field. The field had many flowers, but Lily's favorite was the poppy. She liked how it was red and soft and smelled nice. Tom liked the poppy too, but he also liked to play tricks.
+
+One day, Tom found a big stick and a green cloth. He had an idea. He said to Lily, "Do you want to see something magic?" Lily nodded. She liked magic. Tom said, "Follow me." He led her to a poppy that was near a big rock. He said, "Look at this poppy. It is very pretty, right?" Lily nodded. She smiled. Tom said, "Now watch. I will make it vanish." He covered the poppy with the green cloth and said some funny words. Then he lifted the cloth. The poppy was gone!
+
+Lily gasped. She was amazed. She said, "Where did it go? How did you do that?" Tom laughed. He said, "It is a secret. Do you want to see it again?" Lily nodded. She wanted to see the poppy come back. Tom said, "Okay, but you have to close your eyes and count to ten." Lily did what he said. She closed her eyes and counted. Tom used the stick to dig up the poppy and throw it behind the rock. He hid the stick and the cloth. He said, "Okay, you can open your eyes now."
+
+Lily opened her eyes and looked at the spot where the poppy was. It was still gone. She said, "Where is it? Where is the poppy?" Tom shrugged. He said, "I don't know. It vanished. Maybe it went to another field. Maybe it did not like you." Lily felt sad. She liked the poppy. She wanted it back. She said, "Please, Tom, bring it back. Please, please, please." Tom shook his head. He said, "I can't. It is gone forever. You should not be so silly. It is just a flower. Come on, let's play something else." He walked away.
+
+Lily did not follow him. She stayed by the rock and cried. She looked for the poppy, but she could not find it. She did not know that Tom had tricked her. She did not know that the poppy was behind the rock, wilted and broken. She did not know that Tom was not a good friend. She only knew that she missed the poppy. She wished it would come back. But it never did. The end.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They saw a big vine on the wall. It had many green balls on it.
+
+"Look, grapes!" Lily said. "Let's pick some and eat them."
+
+They ran to the vine and pulled some grapes. They put them in their mouths.
+
+"Yuck!" Tom spat. "These are sour!"
+
+Lily made a face. "They are not good. They are bad."
+
+They heard a voice behind them. It was the old man who lived next door.
+
+"Hey, you two! What are you doing with my grapes?" he shouted. "Those are not for you. They are for making wine. You have to pay for them."
+
+Lily and Tom were scared. They dropped the grapes and ran away.
+
+"Sorry, mister!" they said. "We didn't know. We won't do it again."
+
+They ran back to their house and told their mom what happened. She was not happy.
+
+"You should not take things that are not yours," she said. "That is wrong. You have to say sorry to the old man and give him something nice."
+
+Lily and Tom felt bad. They wanted to make the old man happy. They looked around and saw a big cake on the table.
+
+"Can we give him some cake?" Lily asked.
+
+"That is a good idea," mom said. "But only if you ask him first. And don't eat any. It is for dad's birthday."
+
+Lily and Tom nodded. They took a plate and a knife and cut a slice of cake. They wrapped it in a napkin and went to the old man's house. They knocked on the door.
+
+"Who is it?" the old man asked.
+
+"It's Lily and Tom," they said. "We are sorry for taking your grapes. We brought you some cake. Can we give it to you?"
+
+The old man opened the door. He saw the cake and smiled.
+
+"That is very kind of you," he said. "Thank you. You are good kids. Come in, I have something for you too."
+
+He invited them inside and gave them each a glass of juice and a cookie. He told them stories about his vine and his wine. He was not angry anymore. He was happy.
+
+Lily and Tom were happy too. They learned a lesson. They said goodbye to the old man and went home. They told their mom and dad what happened. They were proud of themselves.
+
+They ate the rest of the cake and sang happy birthday to dad. They had a good day.
+Ben and Lily were playing in the garden. They had a big box and some crayons. They wanted to make a castle for their toys.
+
+"Look, this is the door," Ben said, drawing a square. "And this is the flag," Lily said, drawing a triangle.
+
+They were having fun, but then Lily felt something in her tummy. She needed to go to the toilet.
+
+"Ben, I have to go," she said. "Can you wait for me?"
+
+"OK, but hurry up," Ben said. "I want to finish the castle."
+
+Lily ran to the house. She opened the door and saw a problem. The toilet was broken. There was water everywhere.
+
+"Oh no!" she said. "What can I do?"
+
+She looked around and saw a bucket and a mop. She had an idea. She was a mighty girl. She could solve the problem.
+
+She used the bucket to catch the water. She used the mop to clean the floor. She was very careful not to make more mess.
+
+She was done. She was proud of herself. She went to the toilet in another room. Then she ran back to the garden.
+
+"Ben, I'm back!" she said. "I solved the problem. The toilet was broken, but I fixed it."
+
+"Wow, you are a mighty girl!" Ben said. "How did you fix it?"
+
+"I used a bucket and a mop," Lily said. "It was easy."
+
+They hugged and smiled. They went back to their castle. They played happily ever after.
+Sam and Mia are friends. They like to play outside. One day, they see a big storm coming. The sky is dark and loud. They are scared.
+
+"Let's find a shelter!" Sam says. "We can hide from the storm."
+
+"OK!" Mia says. "Where can we go?"
+
+They look around. They see a big tree. They see a small house. They see a old car.
+
+"Let's go to the car!" Sam says. "It has doors and windows. It can keep us dry and safe."
+
+They run to the old car. They open the door and get inside. The car is dusty and rusty. But it is cozy and warm.
+
+They sit on the seats and talk. They talk about their toys, their pets, their dreams. They laugh and smile. They forget about the storm.
+
+The storm passes. The sun comes out. They see a rainbow in the sky.
+
+"Wow!" Sam says. "Look at the colors!"
+
+"Wow!" Mia says. "It's so pretty!"
+
+They get out of the car. They hug and thank the car.
+
+"Thank you, old car!" Sam says. "You are a good shelter!"
+
+"Thank you, old car!" Mia says. "You are a good friend!"
+
+They hold hands and walk back home. They are happy.
+Ben and Lily liked to play in the living room. They had many toys and books on the shelf. But they also liked to climb on the shelf and touch the things that Mom and Dad said no to. Like the glass vase, the shiny clock and the weird mask.
+
+One day, Mom and Dad went out for a while. They told Ben and Lily to be good and not to climb on the shelf. But Ben and Lily did not listen. They waited until Mom and Dad left and then they ran to the shelf.
+
+"Look, Lily, the mask is so funny!" Ben said. He reached for the mask and put it on his face. He made a scary noise and tried to scare Lily.
+
+"Stop it, Ben, you are silly!" Lily said. She laughed and grabbed the clock. She pretended it was a phone and said, "Hello, hello, is anyone there?"
+
+Ben and Lily had fun with the things on the shelf. They did not see that the shelf was shaking and tilting. They did not hear the vase falling and breaking on the floor.
+
+They only heard Mom and Dad coming back. They heard Mom and Dad gasp and yell.
+
+"Ben! Lily! What have you done?" Mom said. She saw the mess on the floor and the shelf. She saw Ben with the mask and Lily with the clock.
+
+"We were just playing, Mom," Ben said. He took off the mask and looked sorry.
+
+"We did not mean to break anything, Dad," Lily said. She put down the clock and looked sad.
+
+Mom and Dad were very angry and disappointed. They told Ben and Lily to clean up the mess and to go to their room. They told them they were not allowed to play with the things on the shelf ever again.
+
+They also told them they should have listened to them and prevented the trouble. They said they loved them, but they had to learn to be careful and respectful.
+
+Ben and Lily said they were sorry and they hugged Mom and Dad. They cleaned up the mess and went to their room. They felt bad and wished they had not climbed on the shelf. They decided to play with their own toys and books next time. They hoped Mom and Dad would forgive them soon.
+Anna and Ben like to play near the stream. They find stones and sticks and make boats. They put their boats in the water and watch them float. Sometimes the boats go fast and sometimes they go slow. Sometimes they get stuck and sometimes they go away.
+
+One day, Anna finds a shiny boat. It is red and yellow and has a sail. Anna thinks it is a very pretty boat. She wants to keep it. She does not tell Ben. She puts the shiny boat in her pocket and runs home.
+
+Ben looks for Anna. He does not see her. He sees the stream. He sees his boat. He does not see Anna's boat. He thinks Anna lost her boat. He feels sad for Anna. He looks for Anna's boat. He does not find it.
+
+Anna plays with the shiny boat at home. She puts it in the bath. She puts it on the floor. She puts it on her bed. She likes the shiny boat. But she also feels bad. She knows she did not share with Ben. She knows Ben is her friend. She knows Ben likes boats too.
+
+Anna decides to return the shiny boat to Ben. She puts it in her pocket and runs to the stream. She sees Ben. He is sitting on a rock. He looks sad. Anna says sorry to Ben. She gives him the shiny boat. She tells him she found it near the stream. She tells him it is a cheap boat. She tells him they can play with it together.
+
+Ben smiles at Anna. He says thank you to Anna. He says he does not care if it is a cheap boat. He says it is a nice boat. He says Anna is a nice friend. He says they can share the boat. He says they can have fun with the boat. He says they can make more boats with stones and sticks.
+
+Anna and Ben hug. They put the shiny boat in the water. They watch it float. They laugh and clap. They are happy. They are friends. They like the stream. They like the boats. They like each other.
+Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play games. One day, they play a game with a tie. The tie is long and red. It is Tom's dad's tie.
+
+Tom and Sam take turns to wear the tie. They pretend to be grown-ups. They say things like "I have a big job" and "I need to go to a meeting". They have fun.
+
+But then, they have a problem. The tie is too tight on Sam's neck. He cannot take it off. He pulls and pulls, but the tie does not move. He says "Help! Help!" He struggles to breathe.
+
+Tom hears Sam. He runs to him. He tries to help. He pulls and pulls, but the tie does not move. He says "Sorry! Sorry!" He struggles to untie the knot.
+
+They are scared. They do not know what to do. They need help. They call for Tom's mom. She hears them. She comes to them. She sees the tie. She says "Oh no! What have you done?" She is not happy.
+
+She quickly unties the knot. She takes off the tie. She checks Sam's neck. She says "Are you okay?" Sam nods. He says "Yes. Thank you." He is relieved.
+
+She looks at Tom. She says "Why did you use your dad's tie? It is not a toy. It is his original tie. He likes it very much. He will be angry if he sees it." She is not happy.
+
+Tom feels bad. He says "I'm sorry. I did not know. We just wanted to play." He is sad.
+
+She sighs. She says "I know. But you have to be careful. You could have hurt yourself or your friend. You have to ask before you use things that are not yours. Do you understand?" She is serious.
+
+Tom and Sam nod. They say "Yes. We understand." They are sorry.
+
+She says "Okay. Now, go and play something else. But no more ties. And be nice to each other." She is calm.
+
+Tom and Sam say "Okay. Thank you." They hug her. They are grateful.
+
+They go and play something else. They are still friends. They have learned a lesson. They will not use ties again. They will be careful. They will be original.
+Lily and Ben were twins who lived on a farm. They liked to play with the animals and help their mom and dad. One day, they decided to explore the big barn where the cows and horses slept.
+
+"Look, Ben, there is a hay pile!" Lily said, pointing to a corner of the barn. "Let's climb on it and make a fort!"
+
+"OK, Lily, that sounds fun!" Ben agreed, and they ran to the hay pile. They used some sticks and blankets to make a roof and a door. They crawled inside and pretended they were kings and queens.
+
+"This is our lovely castle, and we are the rulers!" Lily declared, putting a crown of flowers on her head. "No one can bother us here!"
+
+"Except for me!" a voice said, and they heard a loud moo. They peeked outside and saw a big brown cow looking at them with curious eyes. The cow had followed them into the barn and wanted to join their game.
+
+"Hi, cow!" Ben said, smiling. "Do you want to be our friend?"
+
+The cow nodded and licked Ben's face with her tongue. Lily and Ben laughed and hugged the cow. They invited her to their castle and gave her some hay to eat. They told her stories and jokes and sang songs. The cow listened and mooed along.
+
+They had so much fun that they forgot about the time. Soon, the sun was setting and their mom and dad came looking for them.
+
+"Lily, Ben, where are you?" their mom called, entering the barn. "It's time for dinner and bed!"
+
+"Here we are, mom!" Lily and Ben shouted, waving from their hay pile. "We made a new friend!"
+
+Their mom and dad smiled and saw the cow with them. They were happy that their children loved the animals and had a good imagination.
+
+"Hello, cow, you are very nice!" their dad said, patting the cow's head. "But you have to go back to your own bed now. Come on, Lily and Ben, let's go home!"
+
+Lily and Ben said goodbye to the cow and thanked her for playing with them. They promised to visit her again tomorrow. They followed their mom and dad out of the barn and walked to their house. They ate their dinner and brushed their teeth. They put on their pajamas and climbed into their beds.
+
+"Did you have a good day, Lily and Ben?" their mom asked, tucking them in.
+
+"Yes, mom, we had a great day!" Lily and Ben said, yawning. "We made a lovely castle and a new friend!"
+
+"That's wonderful, my darlings!" their mom said, kissing them goodnight. "Now, relax and sleep tight. We love you very much!"
+
+Lily and Ben closed their eyes and dreamed of their castle and their cow. They felt happy and safe. They relaxed and slept well.
+Sara loved to play with her flute. She made music with it every day. She liked the sound of the flute and how it made her happy. One day, she saw a brown flute in the store. It looked very pretty and shiny. She wanted to have it.
+
+She asked her mom if she could buy the brown flute. Her mom said no. She said they had no money for it. She said Sara already had a flute and she should be happy with it. Sara was sad and angry. She did not listen to her mom. She took the brown flute when her mom was not looking. She ran away with it.
+
+She went to the park and tried to play with the brown flute. But it did not make any sound. She blew harder and harder, but nothing came out. She looked at the flute and saw that it was not a real flute. It was a toy flute. It had no holes and no keys. It was only for pretend. She felt very silly and ashamed.
+
+She remembered her mom and her real flute. She missed them. She wanted to go back and say sorry. She ran back to the store with the brown flute. She hoped her mom was still there. She hoped she was not too mad.
+
+She found her mom in the store. Her mom was very worried and scared. She hugged Sara and asked her where she had been. Sara gave her the brown flute and told her what she had done. She said she was sorry and that she loved her mom and her real flute. Her mom was sad and angry, but also happy and relieved. She forgave Sara and told her to never do that again. She said stealing was wrong and hurtful. She said Sara should be grateful for what she had and not want what she did not need. Sara learned her lesson. She thanked her mom and hugged her. She went home with her mom and her real flute. She played music with it and felt happy. She never wanted the brown flute again.
+Tim and Kim are twins. They like to play in the park. But today they are not good. They run and scream and push other kids. Mom is angry. She says, "Stop that! You are not nice. You have to sit on the bench and be quiet. This is your punish."
+
+Tim and Kim do not want to sit on the bench. They want to play. They say, "No, Mom, no! We are sorry. We will be good. Please let us play." But Mom does not listen. She says, "No, you have to learn. You have to be regular kids, not bad kids. Now sit on the bench and do not move."
+
+Tim and Kim sit on the bench. They are sad and bored. They look at the other kids who play and have fun. They wish they could join them. They say, "Mom, we are sorry. We learned our lesson. Can we play now?" But Mom does not answer. She is busy talking to another mom.
+
+Tim and Kim wait and wait. They feel like the bench is very hard and long. They think the punish is too much. They say, "Mom, please, please, can we play now?" But Mom still does not answer. She is laughing with the other mom.
+
+Tim and Kim are very mad. They think Mom is not fair. They say, "Mom, you are mean. You do not care about us. We do not like you." They get up from the bench and run away. They think they will find a better place to play. But they do not know that the park is big and scary. They do not know that Mom is worried and looking for them. They do not know that they are in trouble.
+Sara was a little girl who liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Lily. Lily had long hair, a pink dress and a big smile. Sara and Lily did everything together. They had tea parties, read books and sang songs.
+
+One day, Sara's mom said they were going to visit her aunt. Sara was happy, because she liked her aunt. She also liked her cousin, Ben. Ben was a big boy who liked to play with cars and trains. Sara packed Lily in her bag and got ready to go.
+
+When they arrived at her aunt's house, Sara ran to hug Ben. Ben hugged her back and said, "Hi, Sara. Do you want to play with me?"
+
+Sara nodded and said, "Yes, Ben. What do you want to play?"
+
+Ben showed her his room, where he had many cars and trains. He said, "Look, Sara. These are my toys. They are fast and loud. Do you like them?"
+
+Sara looked at the cars and trains. They were shiny and colorful, but they did not make her happy. She said, "They are nice, Ben, but I like my doll better. She is soft and quiet. Do you want to see her?"
+
+Ben shrugged and said, "Okay, Sara. Show me your doll."
+
+Sara opened her bag and took out Lily. She said, "This is Lily. She is my best friend. She likes to play with me. Do you want to play with her?"
+
+Ben looked at Lily. She had long hair, a pink dress and a big smile. He said, "She is pretty, Sara, but she is not fun. She cannot move or talk. She is boring. I do not want to play with her."
+
+Sara felt sad and angry. She said, "She is not boring, Ben. She is fun and nice. You are mean. I do not want to play with you."
+
+She hugged Lily and ran out of the room. She went to the living room, where her mom and aunt were talking. She said, "Mom, Ben is mean. He does not like Lily. He does not want to play with me."
+
+Her mom looked at her and said, "Oh, Sara. I am sorry. Ben is not mean. He just likes different things than you. He likes cars and trains. You like dolls. That is okay. You can still be friends. You can try to play something you both like. Or you can take turns playing what each of you likes. Or you can play by yourself for a while. What do you want to do?"
+
+Sara thought for a moment. She said, "I want to play by myself for a while. I want to play with Lily. She is my friend. She likes what I like."
+
+Her mom smiled and said, "Okay, Sara. You can play with Lily. But maybe later, you can try to play with Ben again. Maybe you can teach him how to play with dolls. Or maybe he can teach you how to play with cars and trains. Maybe you can have fun together. Maybe you can meet new friends."
+
+Sara nodded and said, "Maybe, mom. Maybe."
+
+She sat on the couch and played with Lily. She made her talk and move. She made her laugh and sing. She made her happy. She was happy too. She liked Lily. She liked her mom. She liked her aunt. She liked Ben too, a little. She hoped he would like her too, someday. She hoped they would meet new friends, someday. She hoped they would have fun, someday. She hoped they would wake up happy, tomorrow.
+Lila and Tom were playing with their toy cars in the garden. They liked to make them zoom and crash on the grass. But then, Lila saw a big hole in the fence. She was curious and wanted to see what was behind it.
+
+"Tom, look! A hole!" she said, pointing.
+
+"Let's go see!" Tom agreed.
+
+They crawled through the hole and found themselves in a different garden. It was full of flowers and trees and birds. They also saw a small house with a red roof and a chimney. It looked old and dusty.
+
+"Wow, this is a nice place!" Lila said.
+
+"Maybe someone lives here," Tom said.
+
+They walked towards the house, hoping to find a friend. But as they got closer, they heard a loud noise. It was a growl, like a big dog. They saw a shadow moving behind the window.
+
+"Uh-oh, I think we should go back," Lila said, feeling scared.
+
+"Me too," Tom said.
+
+But before they could turn around, the door opened and a man came out. He was tall and thin and had a long beard. He looked angry and held a stick in his hand.
+
+"Who are you? What are you doing here?" he shouted.
+
+Lila and Tom froze. They did not know what to say. They wanted to run away, but they were too afraid.
+
+"Please, sir, we are sorry. We were just playing. We did not mean to bother you," Lila said in a small voice.
+
+"Yeah, we were just curious. We did not know this was your garden," Tom said.
+
+The man looked at them for a moment. He saw their toy cars on the grass. He saw their scared faces. He felt a pang in his heart. He remembered when he was a child and liked to play and explore. He remembered when he had friends and family. He remembered when he was happy.
+
+He sighed and lowered his stick. He softened his voice.
+
+"It's okay, kids. I'm not going to hurt you. I'm just a lonely old man. I live here by myself. I don't get many visitors."
+
+He smiled a little and invited them in.
+
+"Would you like some tea and butter? I have some in the kitchen. You can warm up by the fire. It's cold outside."
+
+Lila and Tom looked at each other. They were still nervous, but they also felt sorry for the man. He seemed kind and sad. They decided to trust him and follow him inside.
+
+They sat on the sofa and drank tea and ate butter. They told the man their names and where they lived. They showed him their toy cars and how they worked. They asked him about his garden and his house. They made him laugh and smile.
+
+The man felt a warmth in his chest. He felt a joy in his eyes. He felt a hope in his soul. He felt like he had friends again.
+
+He thanked them for their visit and gave them each a hug. He asked them to come back again soon. He said he would fix the hole in the fence, but he would leave a small gap for them to crawl through.
+
+Lila and Tom said goodbye and crawled back to their garden. They were happy and proud. They felt like they had done something good. They felt like they had helped restore the man's happiness.
+Lily and Max liked to play pretend. They had a big couch in the living room that they used as a castle. Sometimes they were kings and queens, sometimes they were knights and dragons, and sometimes they were pirates and mermaids.
+
+One day, they decided to be lions and hunt for food. They put on their yellow hats and scarves and crawled on the floor. They made loud roars and pounced on their toys. They had a lot of fun pretending to be fierce and hungry.
+
+But then they saw Mommy coming in with a serious face. She was holding a big basket of laundry. She looked at the mess they had made and said, "Lily and Max, what are you doing? You have to clean up this mess right now. And stop roaring, you are too loud."
+
+Lily and Max felt sad and scared. They did not want to make Mommy angry. They said sorry and started to pick up their toys. They put them back in the toy box and the shelves. They folded their hats and scarves and put them on the couch.
+
+Mommy smiled and said, "Thank you, Lily and Max. You are good lions. Now you can have a snack and watch a movie with me. How about The Lion King?"
+
+Lily and Max cheered and hugged Mommy. They were happy again. They liked to play pretend, but they also liked to make Mommy happy. They ran to the kitchen and got some cookies and milk. Then they snuggled on the couch with Mommy and watched the movie. They still made some roars, but softly and happily.
+Lily and Ben are friends who like to play in the park. They see a big hill with many flowers on it. Lily and Ben want to pick the flowers and make a bouquet.
+
+"Let's have a game," Lily says. "Who can pick the most flowers in five minutes?"
+
+"OK," Ben says. "I like games. I am good at games."
+
+They run to the hill and start to pick the flowers. Lily and Ben are competitive. They want to win the game. They try to pick the flowers fast and fill their baskets.
+
+But the flowers are not happy. They do not like to be picked. They want to stay on the hill and grow. They start to wiggle and shake. They tickle Lily and Ben's hands and noses. They make them sneeze and drop their baskets.
+
+"Ah-choo!" Lily and Ben sneeze. They look at each other and laugh. They see that the flowers are alive and funny. They decide to stop picking them and let them be.
+
+"Sorry, flowers," Lily and Ben say. "We did not mean to hurt you. You are pretty and nice. We will not pick you anymore."
+
+The flowers smile and nod. They are happy and grateful. They give Lily and Ben a gift. They make a rainbow in the sky with their colors.
+
+"Wow!" Lily and Ben say. "Thank you, flowers. You are the best. You win the game."
+
+They hug each other and the flowers. They enjoy the rainbow and the park. They are friends who like to play and learn.
+Tom and Lily were playing in their room. They had many toys, but their favorite was the big drum. They liked to bang on it and make loud noises. Sometimes, their mom would tell them to be quiet, but they did not listen.
+
+One day, they found a new toy in their room. It was a small, furry animal. It had big ears, a long tail, and sharp teeth. It was a rat. Tom and Lily did not know what it was. They thought it was a funny toy.
+
+"Look, Lily, a new toy!" Tom said. He picked up the rat and held it in his hands. The rat did not like that. It bit Tom's finger. Tom screamed and dropped the rat.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow! It hurts!" Tom cried. He ran to his mom. Lily stayed in the room. She was curious about the rat. She wanted to play with it.
+
+She reached for the rat, but the rat ran away. It hid under the bed. Lily followed it. She crawled under the bed and saw the rat. The rat was scared. It yawned and showed its teeth. Lily thought it was smiling.
+
+"Hello, rat. Do you want to play with me?" Lily asked. She tried to touch the rat, but the rat did not want to play. It hissed and scratched Lily's hand. Lily screamed and crawled out of the bed.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow! It hurts!" Lily cried. She ran to her mom. Tom was there too. He had a bandage on his finger. Their mom was angry.
+
+"What did you do? Where did you find that rat?" their mom asked. She saw the rat under the bed. She was disgusted. She grabbed a broom and chased the rat away.
+
+"Rats are not toys. They are dirty and dangerous. You should never touch them. Do you understand?" their mom said. She hugged Tom and Lily and kissed their wounds.
+
+"Yes, mom. We understand. We are sorry. We will not touch rats again. We will play with the drum instead." Tom and Lily said. They learned their lesson. They did not like rats. They liked the drum. They banged on it and made loud noises. Their mom smiled and shook her head. She loved them anyway.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys. Today, they have a new toy. It is a rocket. The rocket is red and blue and shiny. It can make sounds and lights.

+
+"Cool!" Sam says. He wants to try it too. He takes the rocket from Lily. He presses another button. The rocket makes a different noise and a different flash.
+
+Anna and Ben are happy. They tell Lily and Sam how they got the rocket. They say it was a gift from their grandma. They say their grandma is very nice and smart.

+Lily and Mark were friends. They liked to play with toys and eat tasty snacks. One day, they found a big box of crayons in the closet. They decided to draw on the wall.
+
+"Look, I made a flower!" Lily said, showing Mark her pink and yellow picture.
+
+"That's nice, but I can make a better one!" Mark said, grabbing a blue crayon. He drew a big circle over Lily's flower and filled it with lines.
+
+"Hey, that's not nice! You ruined my flower!" Lily yelled, feeling angry and sad.
+
+"I don't care, it's my wall too!" Mark yelled back, feeling proud and mean.
+
+They started to fight over the crayons and the wall. They pulled and pushed and scratched each other. They made a lot of noise and mess.
+
+Mom heard them and came to see what was wrong. She saw the wall and the crayons and the kids. She was very mad.
+
+"What have you done? You are both in big trouble!" Mom yelled, taking away the crayons and the toys. "You have to clean up this mess and say sorry to each other. And no more snacks for you today!"
+

+Tom and Lily are cats. They live in a big house with a nice lady. The lady gives them food and water and pets them. Tom and Lily like the lady.

+One day, the lady goes out. She leaves a big piece of meat on the table. Tom and Lily smell the meat. They are hungry. They want to eat the meat.
+
+"Let's go and get the meat," Tom says. "It looks yummy."
+
+"No, we can't," Lily says. "The lady will be angry. She will say, 'Bad cats! No meat for you!'"
+
+"But she is not here," Tom says. "She will not know. Come on, it will be fun."
+
+Tom jumps on the chair and then on the table. He marks the meat with his claws. He bites the meat. It is juicy and tasty. He makes a happy sound.
+
+Lily is scared. She stays on the floor. She is careful. She looks at the door. She hopes the lady will not come back soon.
+
+But the lady does come back soon. She sees Tom on the table and the meat on the floor. She sees the marks and the bites. She is very angry. She shouts, "Bad Tom! How dare you eat my meat! Go away! Go away!"
+
+She picks up Tom and throws him out of the house. She slams the door. Tom is sad and hurt. He cries. He wants to go back to the house. He wants to see Lily and the lady.

+
+Ben nods and says, "Yes, a zebra. It has stripes. Can I touch it?"
+
+Mom says, "No, Ben, you can't touch the zebra. It might bite you or kick you. You have to stay behind the fence."
+
+Ben feels frustrated. He wants to touch the zebra. He thinks it is soft and friendly. He does not listen to mom. He climbs over the fence and runs to the zebra.
+
+The zebra sees Ben and gets scared. It does not like strangers. It makes a loud noise and slaps Ben with its tail. Ben falls down and cries.

+Mom hears Ben and runs to him. She picks him up and hugs him. She says, "Ben, are you okay? You should not have done that. You scared the zebra and it hurt you. You have to listen to me."
+
+Ben feels sorry and says, "I'm sorry, mom. I just wanted to touch the zebra. It looked nice."
+
+Mom says, "I know, Ben, but you have to be careful. Zebras are wild animals. They are not pets. They need their space and respect. Maybe you can touch a zebra toy at the gift shop instead."
+
+Ben nods and says, "Okay, mom. I'm sorry. Can we see the other animals now?"
+
+Mom says, "Yes, Ben, we can. But you have to stay with me and Anna. And no more climbing fences, okay?"
+
+Ben says, "Okay, mom. I promise."

+Ben was a sailor who liked to bake. He baked bread and cakes and pies for his friends on the ship. But he was grumpy because he missed his home and his family. He wanted to see his mom and dad and his little sister Lily.
+
+One day, the captain said they would stop at a port near Ben's home. Ben was happy and he decided to bake a special cake for his family. He mixed flour and eggs and sugar and butter and put it in the oven. He hoped they would like it.
+
+He took the cake out of the oven and wrapped it in a cloth. He put it in his bag and got ready to leave the ship. He said goodbye to his friends and thanked the captain. He walked to the port and looked for a bus that would take him home.
+
+He saw a bus with a sign that said "Home". He got on the bus and sat down. He smiled and held his bag with the cake. He was excited to see his family.
+
+But he did not notice that a dog was on the bus too. The dog smelled the cake and wanted to eat it. The dog sneaked up to Ben's bag and opened it with his teeth. He took the cake out and ran away.
+
+Ben heard a noise and looked at his bag. He saw that his cake was gone and that there was a hole in his bag. He was angry and sad. He shouted, "Hey, that's my cake! Come back, you bad dog!"
+
+He got up and chased the dog. But the dog was faster and ran out of the bus. Ben followed him, but he lost him in the crowd. He looked around and realized that he was in the wrong place. He had taken the wrong bus. He was not near his home. He was lost.
+
+He felt like crying. He had no cake, no bag, and no way to get home. He wished he had stayed on the ship. He was the grumpiest sailor in the world.

+
+They turn on the TV and sit on the couch. They see a funny show with animals. They laugh and clap. They are happy.
+
+But then, Tom's mom comes in. She is angry. She sees the TV is on.

+Tom's mom does not like Sara. She thinks Sara is bad. She does not want Tom to be friends with her.
+
+"Mom, this is Sara. She is my friend. We were just watching a little bit of TV. Please don't be mad," Tom says.
+
+But Tom's mom does not listen. She turns off the TV and grabs Tom by the arm. She pulls him away from Sara.
+
+"Come on, Tom. You have to go to your room. And you, Sara, you have to leave. You are not welcome here. Go home," she says.
+
+Sara is sad and scared. She does not understand why Tom's mom is so mean. She wants to stay with Tom. She wants to hug him and say sorry.
+
+"Tom, can I hug you? I don't want to go," Sara says.
+
+But Tom's mom does not let her. She pushes Sara out of the door. She slams it shut.
+
+"Bye, Sara. I'm sorry. Maybe we can play another day," Tom says from behind the door.
+
+Sara runs away. She cries. She feels alone. She does not have a friend. She does not have a TV. She does not have a hug. She is not fine.
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play outside. They had a big garden with many flowers and trees. Sometimes they helped their mom and dad to water the plants and cut the grass.
+
+One evening, they saw a beautiful sunset in the sky. It was red and orange and yellow and pink. They wanted to keep it forever, so they ran inside and got some scissors and paper. They tried to cut out the sunset and stick it on their wall.
+
+But the sunset was too big and too far away. They could not cut it with their scissors. They only cut the paper and made a mess. Their mom and dad came and saw what they had done. They were not happy.
+
+"Tom and Lily, what are you doing?" their mom asked. "Why did you cut the paper and make a mess?"
+
+"We wanted to cut the sunset and keep it," Tom said.
+
+"But you can't cut the sunset," their dad said. "The sunset is not a thing you can touch. It is a powerful light that comes from the sun and the clouds. It is a gift from God that He gives us every day. You can only enjoy it with your eyes and your heart."
+
+Tom and Lily felt sorry. They did not know that the sunset was a powerful light. They thought it was a pretty picture. They said sorry to their mom and dad and helped them to clean up the mess.
+
+Their mom and dad hugged them and said, "It's okay. We know you love the sunset. But you don't need to cut it and keep it. You can see it every day if you look outside. And you can remember it in your mind and your dreams. The sunset is a beautiful thing that God made for everyone to share. And so are you, Tom and Lily. You are beautiful and precious and we love you very much."
+
+Tom and Lily smiled and said, "We love you too, mom and dad. And we love the sunset. Thank you for teaching us about it."
+
+They went outside and watched the sunset together. They saw how it changed colors and shapes and made the sky look like a painting. They felt happy and thankful. They learned that some things are too powerful and wonderful to cut and keep. They learned to appreciate and share God's gifts.
+Sara and Lily were sisters who liked to play with their dolls. They had many dolls, but their favorite was a small, adorable doll with curly hair and a pink dress. They named her Rosie and took her everywhere.
+
+One day, they went to the park with their mom and dad. They brought Rosie and a picnic basket with sandwiches, fruits, and cookies. They found a nice spot under a big tree and spread a blanket on the grass. They ate their sandwiches and shared some with Rosie. Then they gave her a napkin to wipe her mouth.
+
+"Rosie is so polite and clean," Sara said.
+
+"Yes, she is," Lily agreed. "She is the best doll ever."
+
+They finished their picnic and decided to play on the swings. They left Rosie on the blanket with the napkin. They had fun swinging high and low, laughing and singing. They forgot about Rosie for a while.
+
+When they came back to the blanket, they saw a big dog sniffing around the picnic basket. The dog saw Rosie and thought she was a toy. He grabbed her with his mouth and ran away.
+
+"Rosie!" Sara and Lily screamed. "Come back, dog! Give us our doll!"
+
+They chased the dog, but he was too fast. They lost Rosie and the napkin. They felt very sad and cried.
+
+Their mom and dad came and hugged them. They tried to comfort them and said they would buy them a new doll.
+
+"But we don't want a new doll," Sara said. "We want Rosie. She was our friend."
+
+"We're sorry, sweeties," their dad said. "Sometimes we lose things we love. It's hard, but we have to accept it and be grateful for what we have."
+
+He pointed to the sky and said, "Maybe Rosie is in heaven now, with the angels. Maybe she is happy and safe. Maybe she is watching over you and smiling."
+
+Sara and Lily looked at the sky and imagined Rosie with a halo and wings. They smiled a little and wiped their tears.
+
+"Maybe you're right, dad," Lily said. "Maybe Rosie is in heaven. We miss her, but we love her."
+
+They hugged their mom and dad and thanked them for the picnic. They learned a lesson that day. They learned to cherish their toys and their family, and to be careful with their things. They learned that losing something hurts, but loving something lasts.

+
+One day, Jack noticed that some of the hay was not regular. It was all mixed up and not in neat rows. He didn't mind too much, but he knew it would be harder to feed his animals if the hay wasn't regular. So, he spent the whole day fixing the hay and making it neat again.

+
+"I want a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, please!" said Timmy, excitedly. 
+
+Mommy made Timmy's sandwich and gave him a glass of orange juice to go with it. Timmy took a big bite of his sandwich and smiled. "Mmm, this sandwich is delicious!" he said. 
+
+Mommy was happy to see Timmy enjoying his sandwich. "I'm glad you like it, Timmy. Eating yummy food always makes me excited too!" she said. 
+
+Timmy finished his sandwich and drank his orange juice. He was full and happy. "Thank you, mommy! That was the best sandwich ever!" he said. Mommy smiled and hugged Timmy. "You're welcome, Timmy. I love making you happy," she said. And they both lived happily ever after.
+Once upon a time, there was a prince who lived in a big castle. He was a brave prince, and he had a fierce dragon as his friend. One day, the dragon said to the prince, "We must hurry! The evil witch is coming to steal your treasure!" 
+
+The prince and the dragon quickly ran to the treasure room. They saw the witch trying to take the treasure. The prince said, "Stop! That treasure is mine!" 
+
+The witch laughed and said, "Not anymore!" She used her magic to turn the dragon into a stone statue. The prince was very sad. He said, "I will never forget you, my dear friend." 
+
+The witch took the treasure and flew away on her broomstick. The prince was left alone with the stone statue of his friend. He cried and cried, and wished he could have saved him. From that day on, the prince promised to always be brave and protect his kingdom from evil witches.
+Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. One day, she was playing outside when she heard a loud noise. It was thunder! She was scared and ran inside to her mom.
+
+Her mom told her, "Don't be scared of the thunder. It's just the sky talking to us." Lily didn't understand, so her mom explained that thunder is the sound the sky makes when it speaks.
+
+Lily thought it was amazing that the sky could speak, and she was no longer scared. From that day on, whenever there was thunder, she would smile and say, "The sky is speaking to us!"
+
+The moral of the story is that sometimes things that seem scary are actually just something amazing in disguise, like the orange sunsets or the thunder that is the sky speaking.

+
+"Hi Max! Look at my painting," said Lily.
+
+Max looked at the painting and said, "Wow, that's so pretty! Can I paint with you?"
+

+
+Max's friend, a bird named Bella, saw what happened and wanted to help. Bella flew down to the banana and picked it up with her beak. She then flew to a nearby stream to clean the banana. Bella made sure the banana was nice and clean before giving it back to Max.
+
+Max was very happy and thanked Bella for her help. From that day on, Max made sure to be more careful when eating his bananas. And whenever he made a mess, he would always remember to clean it up just like Bella did.
+Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily who loved animals. She had a pet dove named Birdie who she loved to play with. One day, Lily and Birdie were playing in the garden when Birdie suddenly flew away. 
+
+Lily felt sad and cried, "Birdie, come back!" She searched everywhere but couldn't find her beloved bird. She felt worried and scared that Birdie was lost forever. 
+
+Days went by and Lily still felt bitter about losing Birdie. One morning, she heard a familiar cooing sound outside her window. She ran to open the window and there was Birdie, perched on a tree branch. Lily felt overjoyed and hugged her dove tightly. "I missed you so much, Birdie!" she exclaimed. 
+
+From that day on, Lily made sure to keep a close eye on Birdie and never let her fly away again. They played together every day and Lily felt happy knowing that her best friend was always by her side.
+Once upon a time, there was a little mouse named Timmy. Timmy was always very curious and loved to explore the world around him. One day, while he was wandering through the forest, he came across a big, deep pit. Timmy was so excited to see something new and high that he decided to climb down into the pit.
+
+As he was exploring the pit, he noticed that the walls were getting closer and closer together. Suddenly, Timmy realized that he was shrinking! He tried to climb back up the pit, but he was too small to reach the top. Timmy felt very scared and alone.
+
+Just then, a wise old owl flew down into the pit and saw Timmy. The owl told Timmy that he needed to be careful and not take risks without thinking about the consequences. Timmy realized that he had been foolish and promised to be more careful in the future. With the owl's help, Timmy was able to climb out of the pit and return home safely. From that day on, Timmy learned to think before he acted and never forgot the lesson he had learned.

+
+"Hello, Lily! I'm Timmy. What's that you have there?" Timmy asked, pointing to Lily's shield. 
+
+"This is my shield. It keeps me safe," Lily replied. 
+
+Timmy smiled and said, "That's really cool! Welcome to the playground. Let's play together!" 
+
+Lily was happy to have a new friend, and they played together all day. But when it was time to go home, Lily realized that she had lost her shield. She started to cry. 
+

+
+When they got to the beach, Lily ran to the water to swim. But the waves were very rough and she got scared. She went back to her mom and dad and said, "The water is too rough for me." Her dad said, "Don't worry, Lily. We can play in the sand instead."
+
+Lily's mom gave her a bucket and shovel and said, "Let's make a sandcastle!" Lily was so excited and she started to build a big sandcastle. When she was done, she gave her mom and dad a tour of her castle. They loved it and said, "You did a great job, Lily. We're so proud of you!"
+Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She loved watching the sunrise every morning with her smart dog, Max. One day, Lily and Max went for a walk in the park. They saw a little boy crying on a bench. Lily asked him what was wrong.
+
+The boy said he lost his toy car and he couldn't find it. Lily cared about the boy and wanted to help. She asked Max to sniff around and find the toy car. Max was a very smart dog and he found the toy car under a bush. The boy was so happy and thanked Lily and Max.
+
+Lily and Max continued their walk and watched the sunrise. Lily felt happy because she helped someone and Max was happy because he found the toy car. They both knew that caring about others is important.
+Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Tim. Tim loved to play with his blocks and build tall towers. One day, Tim's dad brought home a big box of blocks for him to play with. Tim was so happy! He started to build a castle with the blocks.
+
+Suddenly, Tim heard a loud horn outside. He looked out the window and saw a big truck driving by. The truck was going very slow because it was carrying a lot of heavy things. Tim thought it was funny how the truck made such a loud horn sound.
+
+After the truck passed by, Tim went back to building his castle. He built it higher and higher until it was as tall as he was. Tim was proud of what he had built and couldn't wait to show his mom and dad. The end.
+Once upon a time, there was a little bear named Benny. Benny loved to eat blueberries because they were so yummy and healthy. One day, Benny went to the forest to pick some blueberries. He found a big bush with lots of juicy blueberries and started eating them. 
+
+Suddenly, Benny heard a voice behind him. It was his friend, Sammy the Squirrel. "Hey Benny, why did the banana go to the doctor?" Sammy asked. "I don't know, why?" Benny replied. "Because it wasn't peeling well!" Sammy said, laughing. Benny thought it was a funny joke and they both had a good laugh together. 
+
+After they finished laughing, Benny shared some of his blueberries with Sammy. They both agreed that blueberries were the best snack because they were so tasty and healthy. From that day on, Benny and Sammy always joked and ate blueberries together in the forest. The end.
+Lily and Max were going to the zoo with their mom. They had to take the subway to get there. Lily liked the subway. She liked to see the lights and the people and the big trains. Max did not like the subway. He was scared of the noise and the dark and the crowds. He was stubborn and did not want to go.
+
+"Come on, Max, it will be fun," Lily said. "We will see lions and monkeys and penguins at the zoo."
+
+"No, no, no," Max said. "I don't want to go. I want to stay home."
+
+Mom tried to make Max feel better. She gave him a hug and a snack and a toy. She told him stories and jokes and songs. She said the subway was safe and fast and easy. But Max still did not want to go.
+
+They got to the subway station. Mom bought the tickets and held their hands. They walked to the platform. Lily was excited. She looked for the train. Max was nervous. He hid behind mom. He did not look.
+
+Suddenly, a loud horn sounded. The train appeared. It was big and shiny and colorful. It had a smiling face and a funny hat. It said, "Hello, I'm Zippy the Zoo Train. I'm here to take you to the zoo. Hop on, hop on, hop on."
+
+Lily gasped. She loved Zippy the Zoo Train. She had seen him on TV and in books. She pulled mom and Max to the door. She wanted to sit inside Zippy.
+
+Max peeked. He saw Zippy the Zoo Train. He was not scared anymore. He was curious. He liked Zippy's face and hat. He wanted to hear Zippy talk. He followed Lily and mom to the door. He wanted to sit inside Zippy too.
+
+They got on the train. They found a seat. They waved to Zippy. Zippy waved back. He said, "Welcome, welcome, welcome. I'm so happy you're here. We're going to have a great time at the zoo. Are you ready, are you ready, are you ready?"
+
+Lily and Max nodded. They were ready. They smiled and clapped and cheered. Mom smiled too. She was glad they were happy. She said, "See, Max, the subway is not so bad. It can be fun and friendly and amazing."
+
+Max agreed. He said, "Yes, mom, you're right. The subway is not so bad. It can be fun and friendly and amazing. Especially when it's Zippy the Zoo Train."
+Sam and Mia liked to race each other. They ran fast in the park, on the grass, and on the path. They laughed and shouted as they raced.
+
+One day, they saw a big dog in the park. The dog was wild. It barked and growled at them. It chased them. Sam and Mia were scared. They ran away from the dog.
+
+"Help!" Sam cried. "The dog is too fast!"
+
+"Run to the bench!" Mia said. "There is a man there. He can help us!"
+
+They ran to the bench. The man saw them and the dog. He called the dog and held its collar. He said sorry to Sam and Mia.
+
+"It's okay," he said. "The dog is not bad. He just likes to play. But he is too rough. I will take him home."
+
+Sam and Mia were glad. They thanked the man. They hugged each other. They felt comfortable and safe. They decided to race again, but not near the wild dog.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play and sing and have fun. But today, they have to go with Mom and Dad to the opera. The opera is a big house with many people and loud music. Anna and Ben do not like the opera. They think it is boring and crazy.
+
+"Can we stay home, please?" Anna asks Mom.
+
+"No, you have to come with us. The opera is very nice and you will learn something new," Mom says.
+
+"But we do not want to learn something new. We want to play with our toys and watch TV," Ben says.
+
+"Sorry, but you have to go. Maybe you will like it when you see it," Dad says.
+
+Anna and Ben are not happy. They get in the car and go to the opera. They have to wear nice clothes and sit still and be quiet. They do not like that. They want to run and jump and make noise. They look at the stage and see people in funny costumes and wigs. They hear them sing in a strange language. They do not understand anything. They think it is crazy.
+
+"Can we go home, please?" Anna whispers to Mom.
+
+"No, you have to stay and watch. The opera is almost over," Mom whispers back.
+
+"But we do not like it. It is too long and too loud and too crazy," Ben whispers to Dad.
+
+"Shh, you have to be quiet. The opera is very important and beautiful," Dad whispers back.
+
+Anna and Ben are very bored and tired. They close their eyes and try to sleep. They dream of playing and singing and having fun. They hope the opera will end soon. They do not want to go to the opera ever again. They think it is crazy.
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play in their room. They have many toys and books and cushions. Cushions are soft and fluffy. They can make a fort with cushions.
+
+One day, Lily and Ben want to play with the same cushion. It is a rare cushion. It has a picture of a unicorn on it. Lily says, "This is my cushion. I saw it first." Ben says, "No, this is my cushion. I like it more." They both pull the cushion. They start to fight.
+
+Mom hears them fight. She comes to their room. She sees them fight over the cushion. She is not happy. She says, "Stop fighting. Fighting is bad. You have to share. Sharing is good. You have many cushions. You can both play with the rare cushion. But you have to take turns."
+
+Lily and Ben stop fighting. They feel sorry. They say, "Sorry, Mom. Sorry, twin." They hug each other. They hug Mom. They decide to share the rare cushion. They take turns to play with it. They make a fort with the other cushions. They have fun. Mom smiles. She is proud of them.
+Lily and Sam went to the park with their mom. They saw a big pond with many ducks and swans. Lily liked the swans. They had long necks and white feathers. She wanted to touch one.
+
+"Mom, can I touch a swan?" Lily asked.
+
+"No, Lily, you can't. Swans are not pets. They can bite you if you get too close. They are wild animals. You can look at them from a distance, but don't bother them," Mom said.
+
+Lily was sad. She wanted to be friends with a swan. She saw one swan that was alone. It looked sad too. Lily thought maybe it wanted a friend. She walked slowly towards the swan. She was nervous. She hoped the swan would not bite her.
+
+Sam saw Lily walking to the swan. He was scared. He knew swans could be mean. He ran after Lily. He wanted to stop her.
+
+"Lily, stop! Don't touch the swan! It will hurt you!" Sam shouted.
+
+The swan heard Sam's shout. It turned its head and saw Lily and Sam. It was angry. It opened its beak and hissed. It flapped its wings and moved towards them.
+
+Lily and Sam were terrified. They ran back to Mom. The swan chased them for a while, then stopped. It went back to the pond.
+
+Mom hugged Lily and Sam. She was relieved. She was also angry.
+
+"Lily, Sam, what were you thinking? You could have been hurt by the swan. You disobeyed me. You should never go near wild animals. They are not toys. They are not friendly. They need their space. Do you understand?" Mom scolded.
+
+Lily and Sam nodded. They were sorry. They learned their lesson. They did not want to touch a swan again. They decided to examine the flowers and the trees instead. They were safer and prettier.
+Lily and Ben liked to play with their toy cars. They had many cars of different colors and sizes. They pretended to drive them on the floor, on the sofa, and on the table. Sometimes they made noises like honk, vroom, and beep.
+
+One day, Lily found a new car in her toy box. It was shiny and red, with four big wheels and a long hood. Lily liked it very much. She showed it to Ben and said, "Look, I have a new car. It is very fast and pretty. Do you want to play with it?"
+
+Ben nodded and took the car from Lily. He looked at it closely and saw a button on the side. He wondered what it did. He pressed the button and the car started to make a loud noise. It was not a honk or a vroom or a beep. It was a siren, like the ones on fire trucks or police cars.
+
+Lily was scared by the noise. She covered her ears and said, "Ben, stop it! That is too loud. It hurts my ears. Give me back my car."
+
+Ben did not listen to Lily. He liked the noise. He thought it was fun. He pressed the button again and again, making the siren louder and louder. He laughed and said, "No, I like it. It is my car now. You can have another one."
+
+Lily was angry and sad. She wanted her car back. She tried to grab it from Ben, but he was stronger. He pushed her away and ran to the other side of the room. He kept pressing the button and making the siren.
+
+Lily started to cry. She did not know what to do. She wished her dad was home. He was a mechanic. He knew how to fix cars and make them quiet. He could help her get her car back.
+
+She ran to the phone and called her dad. She told him what happened. She said, "Dad, please come home. Ben took my car and he is making a loud noise. He will not give it back. He is mean. I need you."
+
+Her dad heard her voice and felt sorry for her. He said, "Lily, I am sorry. I am at work. I cannot come home right now. But I will warn you. Do not go near Ben and his car. The siren is not good for you. It can make you dizzy and sick. Stay away from him and play with something else. I will be home soon and I will fix your car. OK?"
+
+Lily nodded and said, "OK, dad. I will do that. I love you."
+
+She hung up the phone and wiped her tears. She looked at Ben and his car. He was still pressing the button and making the siren. He looked happy, but he also looked dizzy. He was spinning around and falling down. He did not look well.
+
+Lily felt sorry for him. She hoped he would stop soon. She decided to play with her dolls instead. She hoped her dad would come home soon and fix her car. She missed her car. She missed her dad. She missed playing with Ben.
+Lily wanted to dress up as a princess for the party. She found a pink piece of cloth in her mom's closet and wrapped it around her. She also put on a shiny crown and a necklace. She looked at herself in the mirror and smiled.
+
+"Look, mom, I'm a princess!" she said.
+
+Mom came into the room and saw Lily. She was not happy.
+
+"Lily, what are you doing? That's my scarf, not a dress. You can't wear that to the party. It's too big and too long. You might trip and fall. And you can't wear my jewelry either. It's too expensive and too delicate. You might break it or lose it. You have to take them off right now."
+
+Lily felt sad and angry. She liked her princess dress and her shiny things. She did not want to take them off.
+
+"No, mom, I want to be a princess. I don't want to wear boring clothes. I want to wear this. It's pretty and fun. Please, mom, let me wear it. Please, please, please."
+
+Mom shook her head. She did not want to argue with Lily, but she also did not want her to ruin her scarf and jewelry. She tried to be gentle and firm.
+
+"Lily, I understand that you want to be a princess, but this is not the way to do it. You can't wear my things without asking me. They are not for playing. They are for special occasions. And they are not safe for you. You can hurt yourself or damage them. You have to take them off and put them back where you found them. Then we can find you a nice dress and some accessories that are suitable for you and for the party. How about that?"
+
+Lily thought for a moment. She still wanted to be a princess, but she also did not want to make mom angry or sad. She realized that mom was right. Her scarf and jewelry were not really a dress. They were too enormous and too fancy. She could not wear them to the party. She could wear something else that was pretty and fun. She nodded slowly.
+
+"Okay, mom, I'm sorry. I'll take them off and put them back. Then can we find me a princess dress and some princess things?"
+
+Mom smiled and hugged Lily.
+
+"Of course, sweetie. I'm sure we can find something that will make you look like a beautiful princess. Come on, let's go."
+Sara and Ben are playing with their toys in the living room. Sara has a big box of stickers and labels. She likes to stick them on her dolls and books. Ben has a pair of scissors and some paper. He likes to cut shapes and patterns.
+
+"Look, Sara, I cut a star!" Ben says, holding up his paper. "Do you like it?"
+
+"Yes, Ben, it is very nice. But be careful with the scissors. They are sharp and can hurt you." Sara says, looking at his paper. "Can I have a label, please? I want to put it on my doll's dress."
+
+"Sure, Sara, here you go." Ben says, giving her a label. "What label do you want? There are many different ones."
+
+"I want this one. It has a flower on it. It is very pretty." Sara says, picking a label. "Thank you, Ben."
+
+"You're welcome, Sara." Ben says, smiling. "Do you want to see what else I can cut?"
+
+"Yes, Ben, show me. You are very good at cutting." Sara says, sticking the label on her doll's dress. "Maybe you can cut something interesting for me."
+
+"OK, Sara, I will try. How about this?" Ben says, cutting a paper heart. "Do you like it?"
+
+"Yes, Ben, I like it very much. It is very sweet. Can I have it, please?" Sara says, admiring the paper heart.
+
+"Of course, Sara, it is for you. Here you go." Ben says, handing her the paper heart. "You are my best friend."
+
+"Thank you, Ben. You are my best friend, too." Sara says, hugging the paper heart. "Let's play some more."
+
+"OK, Sara, let's play some more." Ben says, nodding. "We have many stickers and labels and paper and scissors. We can make many things."
+
+Sara and Ben continue to play with their toys. They have fun cutting and sticking and making things. They are happy and creative. They are good friends.
+Lily was a popular girl in her class. She had many friends who liked to play with her. She was good at sharing, singing and drawing. She always wore a pretty coat with flowers on it.
+
+One day, a new boy came to her class. His name was Ben. He was shy and quiet. He did not have a coat. He only had a sweater that was too small for him. He looked cold and sad.
+
+Lily wanted to be nice to Ben. She went to him and said, "Hi, I am Lily. Do you want to play with me?"
+
+Ben looked at her and nodded. He followed her to the playground. They played on the swings, the slide and the sandbox. They had fun.
+
+Lily noticed that Ben was shivering. She said, "You look cold. Do you want to wear my coat?"
+
+Ben shook his head. He said, "No, thank you. I am fine."
+
+Lily did not understand. She said, "But my coat is warm and pretty. You will feel better if you wear it."
+
+Ben said, "I appreciate your kindness, but I cannot wear your coat. It is not mine. It is yours. You should keep it."
+
+Lily was confused. She said, "But we are friends. Friends share things. I do not mind if you wear my coat."
+
+Ben smiled. He said, "You are a very good friend, Lily. But I have a different way of thinking. I do not like to take things that are not mine. I like to earn them. Maybe one day, I will have a coat of my own. Then I will be happy."
+
+Lily thought about what Ben said. She tried to understand his way of thinking. She said, "I see. You are different from me. But that is okay. We can still be friends. And maybe one day, I will see you in a coat of your own. Then I will be happy too."
+
+Ben hugged her. He said, "Thank you, Lily. You are a very special friend. You make me feel welcome and warm."
+
+They played some more until it was time to go home. They said goodbye and promised to play again tomorrow. Lily was glad she met Ben. He was different, but he was also kind and smart. She learned something new from him. She hoped he would be popular too.
+Lily and Ben were playing with their toy cars in the garden. They made zoom sounds as they raced them on the grass. Lily had a red car and Ben had a blue car. They liked to pretend they were drivers in a big race.
+
+But then, Lily saw a big bee flying near her car. She was scared of bees. She dropped her car and ran away. "Help, help, a bee!" she cried. Ben saw her and sighed. He was not scared of bees. He knew they only stung if you bothered them.
+
+He picked up Lily's car and walked over to her. "Lily, don't be afraid. The bee is gone now. Look, your car is fine." He said. He gave her the car and smiled. "Bees are not bad. They make honey and flowers. They are our friends."
+
+Lily looked at Ben and the car. She felt silly for running away. She wanted to be brave like Ben. She took the car and said, "Thank you, Ben. You are right. Bees are not bad. They are our friends. I'm sorry I was afraid."
+
+Ben hugged Lily and said, "It's okay, Lily. Everyone is afraid of something sometimes. But you can be brave if you try. Come on, let's play again." He said. They went back to the grass and zoomed their cars. They had fun and learned to be brave.
+Lily liked to dream. She dreamed of many things. She dreamed of flying in the sky. She dreamed of swimming in the sea. She dreamed of having a furry friend.
+
+One day, she saw a stamp in her mom's drawer. It had a picture of a cat on it. Lily loved cats. She wanted to have a cat. She took the stamp and put it in her pocket.
+
+She went to her room and put the stamp on her pillow. She hoped that the stamp would turn into a real cat. She closed her eyes and dreamed of cuddling with the cat.
+
+But when she opened her eyes, the stamp was still a stamp. She felt sad and angry. She threw the stamp on the floor and stomped on it.
+
+"Ow!" a voice said. Lily looked down and saw a small, furry cat. It had the same markings as the stamp. It looked at her with big, green eyes.
+
+"Who are you?" Lily asked.
+
+"I'm Stampy. I was a stamp, but you made me alive with your dream. Thank you, Lily. Can I be your friend?" the cat said.
+
+Lily was surprised and happy. She picked up the cat and hugged it. She felt its soft fur and heard its purr.
+
+"Yes, you can be my friend. I'm sorry I hurt you. I didn't know you were real. I love you, Stampy." Lily said.
+
+"I love you too, Lily. You are my dream come true." Stampy said.
+
+They snuggled on the pillow and dreamed of more adventures together.
+Lily and Ben like to play post office. They have a big box, some paper, and some stickers. They make letters and packages for their toys and family. They put stickers on them and write their names.
+
+One day, they decide to deliver their post to the park. They put their post in a bag and take their bikes. They ride to the park and look for their friends. They see Sam and Mia on the swings. They wave and say hello.
+
+"Hi, Lily and Ben!" Sam and Mia say. "What do you have in your bag?"
+
+"We have post for you!" Lily and Ben say. "We are post office workers. We made letters and packages for you. Do you want to see?"

+
+One day, she decided to play a game where she was a spy. She put on a fake hat and a fake coat and grabbed her fake phone. She said, "I have to find the secret code in the freezer. It is very important for my mission."
+
+She crawled to the kitchen, where the big freezer was. She opened the door and looked inside. She saw a lot of cold things, like ice cream, meat, and peas. She also saw a paper with some numbers and letters on it. She said, "This is it! The secret code!"
+
+She reached for the paper, but it was too far. She crawled into the freezer, trying to get it. She did not notice that the door closed behind her. She was stuck in the freezer!
+
+She started to feel very cold and scared. She shouted, "Help! Help! I am in the freezer!" But no one heard her. She cried and hugged her fake phone.
+
+Then, she heard a voice. It was her mom. She said, "Lily, where are you? It is time for lunch." She opened the freezer and saw Lily. She was shocked and worried. She said, "Lily, what are you doing in the freezer? You could have frozen!"
+
+She took Lily out of the freezer and wrapped her in a warm blanket. She said, "You should never crawl into the freezer. It is very dangerous. You could get sick or hurt. You should only play with your toys in a safe place."
+
+Lily felt sorry and ashamed. She said, "I am sorry, mom. I was playing spy and I wanted to get the secret code. It was a fake game. I did not mean to be bad."
+
+Her mom hugged her and said, "I know, Lily. I am glad you are okay. I love you. But next time, please be careful and listen to me. The freezer is not a toy. It is for keeping food cold."
+
+Lily nodded and said, "I understand, mom. I love you too. Can I still play spy?"
+
+Her mom smiled and said, "Yes, you can. But only with your fake toys. And not in the freezer."
+
+Lily agreed and said, "Okay, mom. Thank you. Can I have some ice cream?"
+
+Her mom laughed and said, "Yes, you can. But only a little. And after lunch."
+
+They went to the table and had lunch. Lily ate her sandwich and drank her juice. Then, she had some ice cream. She was happy and warm. She learned her lesson. She never crawled into the freezer again.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big dog. The dog is lively. It runs and jumps and barks. Anna and Ben are scared. They do not like the dog.
+
+They run to the slide. They climb up the ladder. They slide down fast. They hope the dog will go away. But the dog follows them. It wants to play. It jumps on the slide. It slides down too. It lands on Anna and Ben. They fall on the grass. They cry.
+
+A lady comes. She is the dog's owner. She says sorry. She says the dog is friendly. She says the dog likes children. She says the dog's name is Spot. She says Spot is having a birthday party. She gives Anna and Ben an invitation. She says they can come if they want.
+
+Anna and Ben look at the invitation. It has a picture of Spot and a cake. It says the party is tomorrow. It says there will be games and treats and balloons. Anna and Ben think the party sounds fun. They are not scared of Spot anymore. They say thank you. They say they will come.
+
+The lady smiles. She says she is happy. She says Spot will be happy too. She says Spot needs friends. She says Spot will protect them. She says Spot is a good dog. She says goodbye. She takes Spot home.
+
+Anna and Ben go home too. They tell their moms about the dog and the party. They are excited. They want to go. They think Spot is lively. They think Spot is friendly. They think Spot is a good dog. They think Spot will be their friend.
+Lily liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Anna. Anna had long hair, a pink dress and a smile. Lily liked to make Anna talk and sing and dance.
+
+One day, Lily's mom said they were going to visit her aunt. Lily was happy, because her aunt had a big house and a nice garden. But she was also shy, because she did not know her cousins very well. She wanted to bring Anna with her, but her mom said no.
+
+"Anna is too big for your bag, Lily. And you might lose her or get her dirty. Why don't you choose a smaller doll to take with you?" her mom said.
+
+"But I love Anna, mom. She is my best friend. She makes me feel brave," Lily said.
+
+"I know, sweetie. But Anna will be here when we come back. She will remain in your room, safe and clean. And you can make new friends with your cousins. They have many toys to share with you," her mom said.
+
+Lily was not sure, but she trusted her mom. She looked at her dolls and picked a small one. It was a model of a cat, with black fur and green eyes. It was soft and cute, but it did not talk or sing or dance like Anna.
+
+"OK, mom. I will take this cat. But I will miss Anna a lot," Lily said.
+
+"I'm sure Anna will miss you too. But she will be proud of you for being polite and kind. And you can tell her all about your trip when we come back," her mom said.
+
+Lily hugged Anna and put her on her bed. Then she took the cat and put it in her bag. She was ready to go. She hoped her cousins would like her and her cat. She hoped Anna would not be lonely. She hoped she would have fun.
+Ben and Mia like to play with their toy cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They make them go fast and make noises like vroom and beep. Sometimes they race them or crash them or park them.
+
+One day, Ben finds a new car in his toy box. It is shiny and red and has a button on the side. He pushes the button and the car lights up and makes a loud sound. He shows it to Mia and says, "Look, Mia, I have a new car. It is very cool. Do you want to play with it?"
+
+Mia nods and smiles. She likes the new car too. She takes it from Ben and pushes the button. The car lights up and makes a loud sound again. She says, "Wow, Ben, this car is very cool. How does it work?"
+
+Ben shrugs and says, "I don't know. Maybe it has a battery inside. A battery is a part that makes things work. Like the flashlight or the radio. It has power."
+
+Mia nods and says, "I see. Can we open the car and see the battery?"
+
+Ben says, "I don't know. Maybe we can. But we have to be careful. We don't want to break the car or the battery. They might not work anymore."
+
+They look at the car and see a small screw on the bottom. They find a screwdriver in the toolbox and unscrew the screw. They open the car and see a small black part with two wires. They think it is the battery.
+
+They touch the battery and feel it is warm. They say, "Ooh, the battery is warm. Is that normal?"
+
+They hear a voice behind them. It is their mom. She says, "No, that is not normal. That means the battery is old and bad. It can be dangerous. It can leak or explode. You should not play with it. Give it to me. I will throw it away and get you a new one."
+
+Ben and Mia look at each other and say, "Oops. Sorry, mom. We didn't know. We were just curious. We like the new car. Thank you for getting us a new battery."
+
+Mom smiles and says, "It's okay. I'm glad you like the new car. But next time, ask me before you open things. Some things are not safe to touch. And some things are not toys. They are parts. Do you understand?"
+
+Ben and Mia nod and say, "Yes, mom. We understand. We will be careful. We love you."
+
+Mom hugs them and says, "I love you too. Now, let's go and play with your cars. But not with the old battery. That goes in the trash."
+Anna and Ben were playing cops and robbers in the garden. Anna had a toy gun and a vest. Ben had a hat and a scarf. They ran and hid behind the trees and the bushes.
+
+"Stop, robber! I will shoot you!" Anna shouted.
+
+"No, you can't catch me! I am too fast!" Ben said.
+
+Anna aimed her toy gun at Ben and pretended to shoot. "Bang, bang, bang!" she said.
+
+Ben fell to the ground and pretended to be hurt. "Oh, no! You got me!" he said.
+
+Anna ran to Ben and checked his vest. "Are you okay, Ben? Did I hurt you?" she asked.
+
+Ben smiled and hugged Anna. "No, I am fine. It is just a game. Your vest is lovely. It looks like a real cop vest," he said.
+
+Anna smiled and hugged Ben back. "Thank you, Ben. You are a good robber. You are very fast and smart," she said.
+
+They got up and decided to play another game. They had a lot of fun in the garden.
+Tom and Mia are friends. They go to the same classroom. They like to play and learn together. Today, they have a new game. It is called spring. They have to jump high and land on their feet.
+
+"Are you ready, Mia?" Tom asks. He stands on a big mat. He bends his knees and swings his arms.
+
+"Yes, I am ready, Tom!" Mia says. She stands on another mat. She smiles and nods.
+
+"One, two, three, spring!" They both say. They jump as high as they can. They feel the air on their faces. They are happy.
+
+But Mia is clumsy. She does not land on her feet. She lands on her bottom. She slides off the mat. She bumps into a table. The table shakes. A vase falls off the table. The vase breaks. The water and the flowers spill on the floor.
+
+"Oh no!" Mia says. She covers her mouth. She feels bad.
+
+"Are you okay, Mia?" Tom asks. He runs to her. He helps her up.
+
+"I am okay, Tom. But I am sorry. I broke the vase. I made a mess." Mia says. She looks at the floor. She sees the water and the flowers. She sees the pieces of the vase.
+
+"It is okay, Mia. It was an accident. You did not mean to break the vase. You were just having fun." Tom says. He hugs her. He is a good friend.
+
+"Thank you, Tom. You are a good friend. I am glad you are here." Mia says. She hugs him back. She feels better.
+
+They hear a voice. It is their teacher. She comes into the classroom. She sees the mess. She sees Tom and Mia.
+
+"What happened here?" She asks. She looks surprised. She looks angry.
+
+Tom and Mia look at each other. They do not know what to say. They are scared. They wish they could spring away.
+Lily and Ben were playing hide and seek in the living room. Lily was the seeker and Ben was the hider. Lily counted to ten and then opened her eyes. She looked around the room and saw a big lump behind the curtain. She smiled and walked towards it.
+
+"Found you, Ben!" she said and pulled the curtain away. But it was not Ben. It was a big teddy bear that Ben had carried from his room and put behind the curtain. Lily was surprised and laughed. "That's a silly hiding place, Ben! Where are you?"
+
+Ben giggled and jumped out from behind the sofa. He ran to Lily and hugged her and the teddy bear. "You are a good seeker, Lily! But I tricked you with the teddy bear. Do you like him? His name is Bobo."
+
+Lily nodded and hugged Bobo too. "He is very soft and cuddly. Can I play with him too?"
+
+Ben smiled and nodded. "Of course you can, Lily. He is my best friend, but you are my sister. We can share him and play together."
+
+Lily and Ben carried Bobo to the sofa and sat down. They made up stories and pretended that Bobo was a superhero, a pirate, and a doctor. They had a lot of fun and forgot about hide and seek. They were happy to play with each other and with Bobo.
+Ben and Lily were playing with magnets in their room. They liked to stick them on the fridge, the door, and the toys. They made funny shapes and noises with them.
+
+"Look, Lily, I made a face with magnets!" Ben said, showing his sister his creation. He had used two round magnets for eyes, a long magnet for a nose, and a curved magnet for a mouth.
+
+"That's a silly face, Ben!" Lily said, giggling. She tried to make her own face with magnets, but they kept falling off. She frowned and pouted.
+
+"Don't be sad, Lily. Here, you can have my face." Ben said, taking his magnets and giving them to Lily. He smiled at her and hugged her.
+
+"Thank you, Ben. You are a good brother." Lily said, smiling back. She put the magnets on the fridge and admired them. "Now they are both happy faces!"
+
+Ben and Lily heard their mom calling them from the kitchen. "Lunch is ready, kids! Come and eat some yummy soup and bread!"
+
+"Yay, soup and bread!" Ben and Lily said, running to the kitchen. They washed their hands and sat at the table. They enjoyed their lunch and told their mom about their magnet faces.
+
+Mom smiled and said, "I'm glad you had fun with the magnets. They are very cool and creative. But remember to put them away when you are done, okay?"
+
+"Okay, mom." Ben and Lily said, nodding. They finished their lunch and went back to their room. They put the magnets in a box and put the box on the shelf. Then they played with their other toys and had a happy day.
+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play soccer in the park. They have a ball and two cones. The cones are the goal.
+
+One day, they play soccer and have fun. Lily kicks the ball hard. The ball goes past Tom and into the goal. Lily is happy. She jumps and claps.
+
+"Yay, I scored a goal!" she says.
+
+Tom is sad. He did not stop the ball. He sits on the grass and frowns.
+
+"Tom, don't be sad. It's just a game. You can try again," Lily says.
+
+She goes to Tom and gives him a hug. She wants to make him feel better.
+
+"OK, Lily. Thank you. You are a good friend," Tom says.
+
+He smiles and gets up. He picks up the ball and throws it to Lily.
+
+"Let's play again. But this time, I will score a goal," he says.
+
+Lily nods and laughs. She catches the ball and runs to the other cone. She and Tom play soccer again. They have fun. They score many goals. Sometimes Lily wins, sometimes Tom wins. They don't care. They are happy. They are friends. They tie their shoes when they are done. They go home together.
+Tim and Lily went to the zoo with Mom and Dad. They saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and elephants. They liked the animals, but they wanted to see the birds. Mom and Dad took them to the bird house, where there were many colorful and noisy birds.
+
+"Look, Tim, a parrot!" Lily said, pointing to a green and red bird on a perch. "It can talk!"
+
+"Hello, hello!" the parrot said, copying Lily's voice.
+
+"Wow, that's cool!" Tim said. "Can you say my name?"
+
+"Tim, Tim!" the parrot said.
+
+Tim and Lily laughed. They wanted to pet the parrot, but Mom and Dad said no. They said the parrot might bite.
+
+"Can we feed the parrot?" Lily asked.
+
+"Sure, you can give it some seeds," Dad said. He bought a small bag of seeds from a vending machine and gave it to Lily.
+
+Lily opened the bag and took out some seeds. She held them in her hand and reached out to the parrot.
+
+"Here, parrot, some seeds for you," she said.
+
+The parrot looked at the seeds and tilted its head. Then it opened its beak and spat out a disgusting thing. It was a half-eaten worm!
+
+"Ew, gross!" Lily screamed, dropping the seeds and wiping her hand on her dress.
+
+"Ha, ha, ha!" the parrot laughed, mocking Lily.
+
+"Zip it, parrot!" Tim said, angry at the bird.
+
+"Zip it, zip it!" the parrot repeated, flapping its wings.
+
+Tim and Lily ran away from the parrot, feeling sick. They did not like the parrot anymore. They wanted to see the penguins instead. Mom and Dad followed them, trying not to laugh. They hoped the parrot would not spit out any more worms.
+Tim and Kim are twins. They like to play in the kitchen with Mom. Today, Mom is making pizza for lunch. She gives Tim and Kim some dough to roll.
+
+"Roll, roll, roll the dough," Tim sings. He makes a big circle with his hands.
+
+"Roll, roll, roll the dough," Kim sings. She makes a small circle with her hands.
+
+Mom smiles and puts some sauce and cheese on the dough. She asks Tim and Kim what they want on their pizza.
+
+"I want ham and pineapple," Tim says.
+
+"I want olives and mushrooms," Kim says.
+
+Mom nods and adds the toppings. She puts the pizza in the oven and sets the timer.
+
+"Beep, beep, beep," the timer goes. The pizza is ready. Mom takes it out and cuts it into slices.
+
+"Yum, yum, yum," Tim and Kim say. They take their plates and sit at the table.
+
+"Thank you, Mom, for the lovely pizza," Tim says.
+
+"Thank you, Mom, for the lovely pizza," Kim says.
+
+Mom hugs them and says, "You're welcome, my lovely twins. Enjoy your lunch."
+Tim had a cat named Spot. Spot was a small cat with black and white fur. Tim loved Spot very much and played with him every day. He gave him food and water and a soft bed to sleep in.
+
+One day, Tim's mom said they had to go to the vet. She said Spot had to get a shot to make him healthy and strong. Tim did not like the vet. He thought the vet was scary and mean. He did not want Spot to get a shot. He was fearful for his cat.
+
+Tim and his mom put Spot in a cage and got in the car. Spot meowed and scratched the cage. He did not like the cage. He wanted to get out and run away. Tim tried to calm him down. He said, "Don't worry, Spot. It will be over soon. I will be with you. I love you, Spot."
+
+They arrived at the vet's office. Tim and his mom carried the cage inside. There were many other animals there. Some were big and loud, some were small and quiet. Spot hissed and growled at them. He was fearful of the other animals. He wanted to go home.
+
+The vet called Tim's name. He and his mom followed the vet to a room. The vet took Spot out of the cage and put him on a table. He said, "Hello, Spot. You are a good cat. I am going to give you a shot. It will not hurt much. It will make you grow and be healthy." He took a needle and moved it towards Spot.
+
+Spot saw the needle and panicked. He bit the vet's hand and jumped off the table. He ran around the room, looking for a way out. He knocked over a lamp and a chair. He made a big mess. The vet and Tim's mom chased him. They tried to catch him. Tim was fearful for his cat. He said, "Spot, stop! Come back! It's okay, Spot!"
+
+Will Tim and his mom catch Spot? Will Spot get his shot? Will they go home safely? The end.
+Lily loved to read books. She had many books in her room. She liked to read about animals, princesses, and adventures. Sometimes, she read to her teddy bear and her doll.
+
+One day, Lily went to the park with her mom. She brought her favorite book and her purse. Her purse was pink and had a flower on it. She put her book and some snacks in her purse.
+
+At the park, Lily saw a big tree. She wanted to read under the tree. She asked her mom, "Can I read here, please?"
+
+Her mom said, "Yes, you can. But stay close to me, okay?"
+
+Lily said, "Okay, mom. Thank you." She ran to the tree and sat down. She opened her purse and took out her book. She started to read.
+
+She read about a girl who went to a magic land. The girl met a lion, a witch, and a wardrobe. Lily thought it was incredible. She wished she could go to a magic land too.
+
+She read and read until she heard her mom call her. "Lily, it's time to go home. Come on, sweetie."
+
+Lily closed her book and put it back in her purse. She said goodbye to the tree and ran to her mom. She hugged her mom and said, "I had a lot of fun, mom. I read an incredible book."
+
+Her mom smiled and said, "I'm glad you did, Lily. What was the book about?"
+
+Lily told her mom about the book. Her mom listened and said, "That sounds like a wonderful book. Maybe we can read it together tonight."
+
+Lily nodded and said, "Yes, please. I love to read with you, mom."
+
+They held hands and walked home. Lily was happy. She loved to read books. She loved her mom. And she loved her purse.
+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play outside in the sun. The sun is bright and warm. It makes everything shine.
+
+One day, they find a big rock. The rock is shiny and smooth. It has many colors. Lily and Tom think it is pretty.
+
+"Look at this rock!" Lily says. "It is so shiny!"
+
+"Can I touch it?" Tom asks.
+
+"Sure, you can touch it. But be careful. It might be hot." Lily says.
+
+Tom reaches out his hand. He touches the rock. It is not hot. It is cool and smooth. He likes how it feels.
+
+"Wow, this rock is cool!" Tom says. "Where did it come from?"
+
+"I don't know. Maybe it came from the sky. Maybe it is a star." Lily says.
+
+"A star? But stars are far away. How can a star be here?" Tom says.
+
+"Maybe it fell down. Maybe it wanted to see us." Lily says.
+
+"Maybe. Or maybe it is a magic rock. Maybe it can do things." Tom says.
+
+"Like what?" Lily asks.
+
+"Like... make wishes come true. Or tell stories. Or sing songs." Tom says.
+
+"Really? Do you think so?" Lily asks.
+
+"Maybe. Let's try. Let's ask the rock." Tom says.
+
+"Okay. How do we ask the rock?" Lily says.
+
+"Maybe we just talk to it. Maybe we say hello." Tom says.
+
+"Okay. Let's do it." Lily says.
+
+They both look at the rock. They smile. They say together:
+
+"Hello, rock. You are very shiny. You are very pretty. You are very cool. We like you. Do you like us? Can you do things? Can you talk to us?"
+
+They wait. They listen. They hope.
+
+But the rock does not answer. It does not move. It does not make a sound. It just shines.
+
+Lily and Tom are sad. They want the rock to talk to them. They want the rock to be their friend.
+
+But then they look at each other. They see their eyes. They see their smiles. They see their feet.
+
+They remember. They have each other. They are friends. They can talk. They can play. They can have fun.
+
+They are happy. They are intelligent. They are shining.
+Lily liked to whistle. She whistled when she played, when she ate, and when she brushed her teeth. She whistled all kinds of songs, from happy ones to sad ones. She whistled so much that her mom and dad sometimes asked her to be quiet.
+
+One day, Lily found a new object in her room. It was shiny and round and had a hole in the middle. She wondered what it was and what it could do. She picked it up and looked at it. She put it to her mouth and tried to whistle. But nothing happened. She tried again and again, but still no sound came out.
+
+She was about to give up when she heard a noise behind her. She turned around and saw her big brother, Ben. He was laughing and holding a remote. He had a nosy look on his face. He said, "That's not a whistle, silly. That's a CD. You can't whistle with a CD. You need a CD player to make music with it. I was playing a trick on you. Did you really think you could whistle with a CD?"
+
+Lily felt angry and sad. She didn't like Ben's trick or his nosy look. She threw the CD at him and ran out of the room. She didn't want to whistle anymore. She wanted to be alone. She wished Ben would leave her and her objects alone.
+Anna and Ben like to play games. They have many games, like cards, puzzles, and blocks. Sometimes they play with their mom and dad, and sometimes they play by themselves.
+
+One day, they decide to play a new game. They find a candle in the kitchen, and mom says they can use it. They take the candle to their room, and put it on the table. They turn off the light, and mom lights the candle. The candle makes a small flame, and a warm glow.
+
+The game is to blow the candle. Anna and Ben take turns to blow. They try to blow hard, and make the flame go out. The one who makes the flame go out first will win the game. They blow and blow, but the flame is strong. It flickers, but it does not go out.
+
+Then, they hear a sound. It is rain. Rain is falling on the roof, and on the window. They like rain, because it makes funny noises, and makes the plants grow. They go to the window, and look at the rain. They see drops of water, and puddles, and umbrellas.
+
+They forget about the game, and the candle. They watch the rain, and talk about it. They say rain is wet, and cold, and fun. They wonder if they can go outside, and play in the rain.
+
+But then, they smell something. It is smoke. They turn around, and see the candle. The candle is burning too much. It makes a lot of smoke, and a big flame. The flame is too close to the curtain. The curtain is dry, and can catch fire.
+
+They are scared. They shout for mom. Mom comes quickly, and sees the candle. She grabs a glass of water, and pours it on the candle. The water makes the flame go out, and the smoke stop. The candle is wet, and ruined.
+
+Mom is angry, and worried. She tells Anna and Ben that they were very naughty, and careless. She says they could have started a fire, and hurt themselves, and the house. She says they should never play with candles, or fire, or matches. She says they are dangerous, and hot, and bad.
+
+Anna and Ben are sorry. They say they are sorry, and hug mom. They say they did not mean to be naughty, or careless. They say they just wanted to play a game, and have fun. They say they will never play with candles, or fire, or matches again.
+
+Mom is still angry, but also glad. She says she is glad that they are safe, and that nothing bad happened. She says she loves them, and hugs them back. She says they can play other games, but not with candles, or fire, or matches. She says they can play with cards, puzzles, and blocks. She says they can also play in the rain, if they wear boots, and coats, and hats.
+
+Anna and Ben are happy. They say they love mom, and thank her. They say they will play other games, and be careful, and good. They say they will also play in the rain, and have fun. They put on their boots, and coats, and hats, and go outside. They splash in the puddles, and laugh, and sing.
+
+They forget about the game, and the candle. They do not care who won, or who lost. They only care about the rain, and each other, and mom. They are happy, and wet, and good.
+Lily wanted to wear her new dress for her birthday. It was a present from her grandma. It was pink and sparkly and had a big bow. Lily loved it very much.
+
+But when she put it on, she saw that it was too big for her. The dress was long and loose and dragged on the floor. Lily felt sad and angry. She did not want to look weird on her special day.
+
+She ran to her mom and said, "Mom, this dress is bad! It does not fit me! I want a new one!"
+
+Her mom looked at her and smiled. She said, "Lily, this dress is not bad. It is just a little big for you. Grandma made it for you with love. She wanted you to have a dress that you can wear for a long time. She also gave you something else. Do you want to see it?"
+
+Lily nodded. She was curious. What else did grandma give her?
+
+Her mom took her to the closet and opened it. There was a small box with a ribbon. Her mom said, "This is for you. Open it and see what is inside."
+
+Lily opened the box and gasped. It was a pair of shiny shoes that matched her dress. They had straps and buckles and little heels. Lily tried them on and they fit perfectly. She felt happy and excited. She said, "Mom, these shoes are beautiful! They make me feel like a princess!"
+
+Her mom hugged her and said, "You are a princess, Lily. And you look lovely in your dress and shoes. Grandma knew you would like them. She also wrote you a card. Do you want to read it?"
+
+Lily nodded. She took the card and read it. It said, "Happy birthday, Lily. I hope you enjoy your dress and shoes. They are a present from my heart. I love you very much. Grandma."
+
+Lily felt warm and grateful. She said, "Mom, I love grandma. And I love my dress and shoes. They are not weird. They are wonderful. Thank you for helping me see that."
+
+Her mom kissed her and said, "You're welcome, Lily. Now, let's go and have some cake and fun. It's your birthday, after all."
+Lily loved to cook with her mom. They made cookies, cakes, pies and more. Lily liked to mix the dough, cut the shapes and decorate the cookies. She always wore her adorable apron with flowers and butterflies.
+
+One day, Lily and her mom were making cookies for a party. They had a big bowl of dough and many cookie cutters. Lily chose a star, a heart, a flower and a cat. She pressed them on the dough and put them on a tray. Mom put the tray in the oven and set the timer.
+
+"Can I have a cookie now, mom?" Lily asked.
+
+"Not yet, sweetie. We have to wait for them to bake. Then we have to let them cool. Then we can eat them." Mom said.
+
+Lily nodded, but she was very hungry. She smelled the cookies and they smelled so good. She wanted to taste them. She saw a small piece of dough on the table. She thought no one would notice if she ate it. She reached for it and put it in her mouth.
+
+But the dough was not sweet. It was bitter and salty. Lily made a face and spat it out. She felt sick. She ran to mom and cried.
+
+"Mom, mom, the dough is bad! It tastes yucky!" Lily said.
+
+Mom looked at the table and saw the piece of dough. She realized what Lily had done. She hugged her and said.
+
+"Oh, Lily, I'm sorry. You ate the wrong dough. That was not for cookies. That was for bread. It has yeast and salt in it. It's not meant to be eaten raw. It's okay, you'll be fine. Just drink some water and spit out the rest."
+
+Lily drank some water and felt better. She learned her lesson. She never ate raw dough again. She waited for the cookies to bake and cool. Then she ate them with mom. They were delicious and sweet. She shared them with her friends at the party. They all loved her cookies. They said she was a great cook. Lily smiled and thanked them. She was happy.
+Ben and Lily love music. They like to sing and dance and play with their toys. One day, they hear a loud sound from outside. They run to the window and see a big truck with a band on it. The band has drums, guitars, horns and a singer. They are playing a happy song that makes Ben and Lily want to join them.
+
+"Wow, look at the band!" Ben says. "They are so cool!"
+
+"Can we go see them?" Lily asks. "They excite me!"
+
+"Yes, let's go!" Ben says. He grabs his toy drum and Lily grabs her toy guitar. They put on their hats and coats and run outside.
+
+The band sees Ben and Lily and smiles. They wave at them and invite them to come closer. Ben and Lily are shy at first, but then they get brave and walk up to the truck. The singer gives them a microphone and says, "Do you want to sing with us?"
+
+"Yes, please!" Ben and Lily say. They hold the microphone and sing along with the band. They sing loud and clear and have fun. The band claps for them and gives them high fives.
+
+"That was awesome!" the singer says. "You are very good singers!"
+
+"Thank you!" Ben and Lily say. They feel proud and happy.
+
+The band plays another song and Ben and Lily dance with them. They jump and spin and laugh. The band makes a deep sound with their horns and drums that makes Ben and Lily feel the music in their chests. They love the band and the band loves them. They are having the best time ever.
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play and laugh together. One morning, they wake up very early. They see a bright light in the sky. It is the sunrise.
+
+"Wow, look at that!" Lily says. "The sky is orange and pink and yellow. It is so pretty!"
+
+Ben nods. He likes the colors too. He sees some birds flying in the air. He hears them sing. He says, "The birds are happy. They say hello to the sunrise. Can we say hello too?"
+
+Lily smiles. She likes the idea. She says, "Yes, we can. Let's go outside and say hello to the sunrise and the birds."
+
+They get out of bed and put on their coats. They run to the door and open it. They feel the cool air on their faces. They see the amazing sunrise. They say, "Hello, sunrise! Hello, birds! You are beautiful!"
+
+The sunrise and the birds hear them. They smile back. They say, "Hello, Lily and Ben! You are beautiful too! Thank you for saying hello to us. Have a wonderful day!"
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the garden. They see a new plant with green leaves. Lily wants to pull it out.
+
+"Look, Ben, what is this?" Lily asks.
+
+Ben shakes his head. He does not know. He sees a sign next to the plant. It says "radish".
+
+"Maybe it is a radish," Ben says.
+
+"What is a radish?" Lily wonders.
+
+Ben remembers what his mom told him. "A radish is a red thing that grows under the ground. You can eat it. It is crunchy and spicy."
+
+Lily is curious. She wants to try a radish. She pulls the plant out. She sees a red thing at the end of the green leaves.
+
+"Wow, it is a radish!" Lily says. She bites it.
+
+"Ouch, it is spicy!" Lily cries. She does not like the radish. She spits it out.
+
+Ben laughs. He does not like spicy things either. He gives Lily some water.
+
+"Sorry, Lily, I should have told you. Radishes are spicy. Some people like them, some people do not. You have to trust me next time," Ben says.
+
+Lily nods. She drinks the water. She feels better. She smiles at Ben.
+
+"It is okay, Ben. You are my friend. I trust you. Next time, let us find something sweet to eat," Lily says.
+
+They hug and go back to play. They leave the radish on the ground. A rabbit comes and eats it. The rabbit likes the radish. It is crunchy and spicy.
+Tom and Amy like to play with models. They have models of cars, planes, animals and people. They put them on the floor and make noises and stories with them.
+
+One day, Tom and Amy find a big model of a castle in the attic. It is very old and has many towers, windows and doors. It looks like a real castle. Tom and Amy are very happy and want to play with it.
+
+They carry the model to their room and put it on the bed. They pretend they are kings and queens and knights and dragons. They have a lot of fun.
+
+But then, Tom has an idea. He wants to see what is inside the castle. He takes a screwdriver and tries to open the roof. He thinks he can fix it later.
+
+"Tom, what are you doing?" Amy asks. She is scared. She likes the castle and does not want to break it.
+
+"I want to see inside. Maybe there is treasure or a secret passage," Tom says. He does not listen to Amy. He pushes hard on the screwdriver.
+
+But the castle is very old and fragile. The roof cracks and falls apart. The walls and towers collapse. The model is ruined. Tom and Amy are shocked. They hear footsteps on the stairs. It is their mom.
+
+"What happened here?" their mom asks. She is very angry. She sees the broken model on the bed. She knows it was a gift from her grandfather. It was very special and valuable. She is very sad.
+
+"Tom did it. He wanted to see inside," Amy says. She is afraid of getting in trouble.
+
+"Tom, is that true?" their mom asks. She looks at Tom with a serious face.
+
+Tom feels bad. He knows he made a big mistake. He wishes he did not touch the castle. He regrets his idea.
+
+"Yes, mom. I'm sorry. I did it," Tom says. He lowers his head. He does not know what to say.
+
+Their mom sighs. She does not know what to do. She loves Tom and Amy, but she is very disappointed. She tells them to go to their room and think about what they did. She says they will talk later.
+
+Tom and Amy go to their room. They do not play with their models. They sit on the floor and look at each other. They are very sorry. They wish they could fix the castle. They wish they could make their mom happy again.
+Lily and Tom were hungry. They wanted to eat their meal. But Mom was not home yet. She was at work. She said she would come soon.
+
+Lily and Tom looked at the clock. It was late. They heard a noise. It was the door. Mom was home!
+
+"Hi, kids!" Mom said. "I'm sorry I'm late. I have a surprise for you. Guess what it is!"
+
+Lily and Tom smiled. They liked surprises. They tried to guess.
+
+"Is it a toy?" Lily asked.
+
+"Is it a book?" Tom asked.
+
+Mom shook her head. "No, it's not a toy or a book. It's something you can eat. It's your meal!"
+
+Mom opened a bag. She took out a box. She opened the box. Inside the box, there were four slices of pizza.
+
+"Pizza!" Lily and Tom shouted. "We love pizza!"
+
+Mom smiled. "I know you do. That's why I got it for you. It's a special treat. Let's eat!"
+
+Lily and Tom ran to the table. They grabbed a slice of pizza each. They bit into the cheese and sauce. It was hot and yummy.
+
+Mom sat down with them. She took a slice of pizza too. She looked pale. She had a headache. She had a hard day at work.
+
+But she was happy. She was happy to see her kids. She was happy to share their meal. She was happy to have pizza. Pizza made everything better.
+Lila and Tom were playing in their room. They had many toys, but they liked to make forts with pillows and blankets. They piled up the pillows on the bed and covered them with a big blanket. Then they crawled inside and pretended they were in a cave.
+
+"Hello, cave friend," Tom said to Lila. "Do you like our fort?"
+
+"Yes, I do," Lila said. "It is cozy and warm. And we have a window to see outside."
+
+She pointed to a small gap in the blanket where they could see the sky and the trees. They saw a bird flying by and waved to it.
+
+"Hello, bird," they said together. "Do you want to play with us?"
+
+The bird did not answer. It flew away and left a bitter taste in their mouths. They did not like when things ignored them.
+
+"Maybe the bird is busy," Tom said. "Or maybe it is shy. Or maybe it does not speak our language."
+
+"Maybe," Lila said. "But I wish it would come back and be our friend."
+
+They waited for a while, but the bird did not return. They felt sad and lonely.
+
+"Let's play something else," Tom said. "Maybe we can find another animal to wave to."
+
+"OK," Lila said. "But first, let's hug our pillows. They are soft and nice. And they always stay with us."
+
+They hugged their pillows and smiled. They felt better and happy. They loved their pillows and their fort. And they hoped to see the bird again.
+Sara and Ben are twins. They like to go to the store with Mom. Mom lets them pick one pastry each. Sara likes the light ones with cream. Ben likes the dark ones with nuts.
+
+One day, they go to the store and see a new pastry. It is light and dark, with cream and nuts. Sara and Ben both want it. They start to fight.
+
+"Mine!" Sara says.
+
+"No, mine!" Ben says.
+
+They pull and tug at the pastry. It breaks in half. The cream and nuts fall on the floor. Sara and Ben are sad. Mom is mad.
+
+"Look what you did!" Mom says. "You wasted a good pastry. And you made a mess. And you were rude. You should share and be nice."
+
+Sara and Ben feel sorry. They say sorry to Mom. They say sorry to each other. They hug and make up.
+
+Mom smiles. She gives them each a napkin. She says, "It's OK. Everyone makes mistakes. But you have to learn from them. Next time, you can take turns. Or you can split the pastry. Or you can pick something else. There are many ways to be fair and kind."
+
+Sara and Ben nod. They wipe their faces. They pick a new pastry each. They thank Mom. They enjoy their pastry. They are happy. They learned a lesson.
+Anna likes to act. She likes to pretend she is a singer, a teacher, or a princess. She has a microphone that she uses to sing and talk. She likes to make up songs and stories with her microphone.
+
+One day, Anna was acting with her microphone in the backyard. She was singing a song about flowers and butterflies. She was having fun. But then, she saw a big mud puddle. She wanted to jump in it. She thought it would be fun too.
+
+She ran to the mud puddle and jumped in it. She splashed and laughed. She got very dirty. She did not care. She was having fun. But then, she saw her microphone. It was in the mud puddle too. It was very dirty. She felt sad. She liked her microphone. She did not want it to be dirty.
+
+She picked up her microphone and tried to clean it. She rubbed it with her hands. She wiped it with her shirt. She blew on it. But it was still dirty. She did not know what to do. She wanted her microphone to work. She wanted to act with it again.
+
+She ran to her mom and showed her the microphone. She said, "Mom, look! My microphone is dirty. I jumped in the mud puddle. I'm sorry. Can you help me?" Her mom looked at the microphone and smiled. She said, "Don't worry, Anna. We can clean your microphone. It will work again. But first, you need to take a bath. You are very dirty too. Come on, let's go inside." She took Anna's hand and led her to the bathroom. Anna was happy. She knew her mom would help her. She still liked to act. She still liked her microphone. But she learned not to jump in mud puddles with it.
+Leo was a little lion who liked to roar. He roared when he was happy, he roared when he was angry, he roared when he was bored. He roared so much that his friends sometimes got tired of him.
+
+One day, Leo saw a big hill with a lot of grass. He thought it would be fun to climb up and roar from the top. He ran up the hill and roared as loud as he could. He felt very proud of himself.
+
+But then he heard a voice that was louder and deeper than his. It said, "Who is that roaring on my hill? This is my hill and my pitch. Go away or I will make you go away!"
+
+Leo looked around and saw a big bear standing behind him. He was very scared. He had never seen a bear before. He did not know what to do.
+
+He tried to roar back, but his roar was small and weak. The bear laughed and said, "You are not a real lion. You are a little cub. You have a lot to learn. Come, I will teach you how to roar properly."
+
+The bear took Leo to his cave. He showed him how to make his chest big and his mouth wide. He showed him how to breathe deep and let out a long and loud roar. He showed him how to make his roar sound scary and strong.
+
+Leo practiced with the bear for a long time. He felt his roar getting better and better. He thanked the bear for his help. The bear said, "You are welcome. You are a good learner. But you also need to learn when to roar and when to be quiet. Roaring is not always the best way to make friends. Sometimes you need to listen and share and be kind."
+
+Leo nodded. He understood. He said goodbye to the bear and ran back to his friends. He told them what happened and how he learned to roar better. He also said he was sorry for roaring too much and making them tired. He asked them if they wanted to play with him.
+
+His friends were happy to see him. They said they were glad he was back and that he was a good friend. They said they liked his new roar, but they also liked his clean and soft fur, his bright and smart eyes, and his warm and gentle heart. They hugged him and played with him. Leo felt very happy. He roared, but only a little.
+Lily was a good girl who liked to help her mom and dad. One day, her mom gave her a task. She asked Lily to find her keys in the living room. Lily was happy to do the task. She looked under the sofa, behind the curtains, and on the table. But she could not find the keys.
+
+Lily did not give up. She thought hard and remembered that her mom sometimes put her keys in her coat pocket. She ran to the coat rack and checked the pockets of her mom's coat. She was successful! She found the keys and brought them to her mom.
+
+Her mom was very proud of Lily. She hugged her and thanked her for being so helpful and smart. She told Lily that she did a great job and that she learned an important lesson. She said, "Sometimes, the things we are looking for are right in front of us. We just have to think and look carefully." Lily smiled and nodded. She was happy that she did the task and that she made her mom happy. She learned that finding things can be fun and rewarding.
+Jill liked to help her mom in the kitchen. She wanted to learn how to make cookies and cakes and pies. But mom said she was too little to use the oven and the mixer and the knife. Jill felt sad. She wished she could do something different in the kitchen.
+
+One day, mom had to go to the store. She told Jill to stay in the living room and play with her toys. She said she would be back soon. Jill nodded, but she had a plan. She waited until mom left, then she ran to the kitchen. She saw a big bowl of dough on the counter. Mom had made it for bread. Jill thought it looked like fun. She climbed on a chair and reached for the bowl.
+
+Jill put the bowl on the floor and started to play with the dough. She rolled it and squished it and shaped it. She made a ball, a snake, a star, and a heart. She was having a lot of fun. She did not hear mom come back. She did not see mom open the door. She did not notice mom's face when she saw the mess.
+
+Mom was very angry. She saw the dough all over the floor and the chair and Jill's hands and clothes. She saw the flour and the salt and the yeast on the counter. She saw the empty bowl and the dirty spoon. She yelled at Jill. She said she was naughty and careless and wasteful. She said she had to clean up everything and go to her room. Jill felt very bad. She started to cry. She said she was sorry. She said she just wanted to do something different in the kitchen.
+
+Mom sighed. She saw Jill's tears and heard her sorry. She felt sorry too. She hugged Jill and said she loved her. She said she understood her curiosity and creativity.

+Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play in the woods. They saw a big pile of lumber near a cabin. The lumber was for building a new fence.
+
+"Let's make a fort with the lumber!" Tim said. He was the older brother and always had ideas.
+
+Sam nodded. He followed Tim to the pile of lumber. They took some pieces and stacked them up. They made a wall and a roof. They crawled inside their fort.
+
+"This is fun!" Sam said. He liked their fort.
+
+Suddenly, they heard a loud roar. A fierce bear came out of the cabin. It saw the lumber and the fort. It was angry. The lumber was its food. It had dragged it from the forest.
+
+The bear ran towards the fort. It knocked down the wall and the roof. It growled at Tim and Sam. They were scared. They screamed.
+
+"Help! Help!" they cried.
+
+The cabin owner heard them. He came out with a gun. He saw the bear and the fort. He was mad. The fort was his lumber. He had bought it from the store.
+
+"Hey! What are you doing with my lumber?" he yelled.
+
+He shot the gun in the air. The bear ran away. Tim and Sam ran out of the fort. They saw the cabin owner. They were sorry.
+
+"We're sorry, mister. We just wanted to play," Tim said.
+
+"Yeah, we're sorry. We didn't know it was your lumber," Sam said.
+
+The cabin owner looked at them. He saw they were just kids. He sighed.
+
+"Well, don't do it again. And don't go near the bear. It's dangerous," he said.
+
+He helped them pick up the lumber and put it back in the pile. He told them to go home.
+
+Tim and Sam ran back to their house. They regretted taking the lumber and making the fort. They learned their lesson. They never played in the woods again.
+Anna and Ben were playing with paper and scissors. They liked to cut out shapes and make pictures. Anna cut out a star and a heart. Ben cut out a circle and a square.
+
+"Look, I made a star and a heart!" Anna said, showing her paper to Ben.
+
+"Those are nice," Ben said, "but mine are better. See, I made a circle and a square. They are perfect."
+
+Anna felt sad. She thought Ben was rude. She did not like how he said his shapes were better. She wanted to say something, but she did not know what.
+
+She looked at Ben's paper and scissors. She had an idea. She reached out and grabbed his scissors.
+
+"Hey, give me back my scissors!" Ben shouted. He tried to take them from Anna, but she held them tight.
+
+"No, they are mine now!" Anna said. She was angry. She wanted to make Ben feel bad.
+
+She lifted the scissors and cut Ben's circle and square in half. She laughed and said, "Now your shapes are not perfect. They are broken."
+
+Ben felt mad. He did not like how Anna cut his shapes. He thought she was mean. He wanted to get his scissors back.
+
+He pushed Anna and grabbed the scissors. He pulled them hard. Anna did not let go. They both tugged and tugged.
+
+Suddenly, the scissors slipped from their hands. They flew in the air and landed on the floor. They made a loud noise.
+
+Anna and Ben stopped and looked at the scissors. They felt scared. They knew scissors were sharp and dangerous. They knew they should not play with them.
+
+They looked at each other. They felt sorry. They knew they were wrong. They did not want to fight.
+
+They said at the same time, "I'm sorry."
+
+They hugged and said, "Let's be friends."
+
+They picked up the scissors and put them away. They decided to play with something else. They learned to share and be kind. They had fun.
+Lily liked to play in the dirt. She liked to dig and find worms. Worms were long and soft and wiggly. Lily had a jar where she kept her worms. She liked to watch them move and curl.
+
+One day, Lily found a big gray worm. It was bigger than her finger. She was very happy. She put the worm in her jar and ran to show her mom.
+
+"Look, mom, look!" Lily said. "I found a big gray worm. He is my worm. I own him."
+
+Mom smiled and looked at the worm. She saw that it was not a worm, but a snake. A baby snake. She was not happy. She did not like snakes.
+
+"Lily, that is not a worm. That is a snake. Snakes are not good pets. They can bite and hurt you. You cannot own a snake. You have to let it go." Mom said.
+
+Lily was sad. She liked her big gray worm. She did not want to let it go. She wanted to keep it and play with it.
+
+"But mom, he is my worm. He is nice and soft and wiggly. He does not bite. He likes me. Please, mom, please. Can I keep him?" Lily begged.
+
+Mom shook her head. She took the jar and walked to the garden. She opened the jar and let the snake out. The snake slithered away into the grass.
+
+"Lily, you have to say goodbye to your worm. He belongs to the wild. He has to find his family and his food. He will be happier there. You can find other worms to play with. Real worms. They are good pets. They do not bite. They like you. Come on, let's go and dig some more." Mom said.
+
+Lily wiped her tears and nodded. She followed mom to the dirt. She dug and found some more worms. They were not as big or as gray as her worm, but they were still long and soft and wiggly. She put them in her jar and watched them move and curl. She felt better. She still missed her worm, but she understood that he was not a worm. He was a snake. And snakes do not belong in jars.
+Tom and Jen are big kids. They like to go to new places. They have a big bag with clothes and toys. They also have a small book with their names and photos. This is their passport. They need it to go on a plane.
+
+One day, they go to the airport with Mom and Dad. They are very happy. They want to see the big birds in the sky. They want to fly with them. They wait in a long line. They give their passports to a man. The man looks at them and smiles.
+
+But then, another man comes. He is not nice. He has a big sack. He runs to the line and grabs Tom and Jen's bag. He puts it in his sack. He runs away very fast. He does not care about Tom and Jen. He only wants their bag.
+
+Tom and Jen are very sad. They cry and scream. They want their bag back. They want their clothes and toys. They want their passport. They cannot go on the plane without it. Mom and Dad are very angry. They try to catch the bad man. But he is too fast. He gets in a car and drives away.
+
+Tom and Jen do not go to new places. They go back home. They have no bag. They have no passport. They have no fun. They only have a white paper. The paper says sorry. But it is not enough. Tom and Jen are very unhappy. The end.
+Lila and Sam were twins who liked to play in the garden. One day, they saw a big peach tree with many ripe peaches. They wanted to pick some and eat them, but the tree was too tall for them.
+
+"Let's get a ladder," Sam said.
+
+"Good idea," Lila agreed.
+
+They ran to the shed and found a ladder. They carried it to the peach tree and leaned it against the trunk. Sam climbed up first, followed by Lila. They reached for the peaches, but they were still too far.
+
+"Stretch your arm, Sam," Lila said.
+
+"I'm trying, but I can't reach," Sam said.
+
+They both felt frustrated. They wanted the peaches so much, but they were too small.
+
+Suddenly, they heard a loud bark. It was Rex, their dog. He had followed them to the garden and saw the ladder. He thought it was a toy and jumped on it. The ladder shook and wobbled. Sam and Lila lost their balance and fell to the ground.
+
+"Ouch!" Sam cried.
+
+"Ow!" Lila whimpered.
+
+They both had scratches and bruises. They looked at the ladder. It was broken. They looked at the peaches. They were still on the tree. They looked at Rex. He wagged his tail and licked their faces.
+
+"Bad dog!" Sam scolded.
+
+"Go away!" Lila shouted.
+
+They both started to weep. They were hurt and angry and sad. They wanted the peaches, but they couldn't have them.
+
+Their mom heard their cries and came to the garden. She saw what had happened and hugged them.
+
+"Shh, it's okay," she said. "Don't weep. I have a surprise for you."
+
+She took them to the kitchen and showed them a big pie. It was made of peaches.
+
+"I picked some peaches this morning and baked a pie for you," she said. "You can have a slice each. How does that sound?"
+
+Sam and Lila smiled. They forgot about their pain and their frustration. They thanked their mom and ate the pie. It was sweet and juicy and delicious. They felt happy and loved.
+
+They still liked the peach tree, but they decided to wait until they were bigger to pick the peaches. They also forgave Rex, who was just a playful dog. They learned that sometimes things don't go as planned, but there is always something good to enjoy.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to throw the ball to each other and catch it. Sometimes they missed and the ball rolled away. They ran after it and laughed.
+
+One day, they saw a big hill near the park. They wondered what was on the other side. They decided to climb the hill and find out. They left their ball at the bottom and started to walk up. The hill was steep and hard to climb. They held hands and helped each other.
+
+When they reached the top, they gasped. They saw a giant! The giant was very tall and hairy. He had a big nose and big ears. He was holding a big stick. He looked angry and impatient. He saw Lily and Ben and roared.
+
+"Who are you? What are you doing here? This is my hill!" the giant shouted.
+
+Lily and Ben were scared. They wanted to run away, but they were too high. They wished they had their ball. They remembered how they liked to play with it.
+
+"Please, Mr. Giant, we are sorry. We just wanted to see what was on the other side. We didn't mean to bother you. We are Lily and Ben. We like to play with our ball. Do you like to play with balls?" Lily asked.
+
+The giant frowned. He looked at his stick. He looked at Lily and Ben. He looked at the ball at the bottom of the hill. He thought for a moment. Then he smiled.
+
+"I like to play with balls. But I don't have any. Can I play with your ball?" the giant asked.
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They were happy that the giant was not angry anymore. They hoped he would be nice and gentle.
+
+"OK, Mr. Giant, you can play with our ball. But you have to be careful. Don't throw it too hard or too far. And don't break it. It's our favorite ball." Ben said.
+
+The giant agreed. He raised his stick and threw it away. He picked up the ball and threw it to Lily and Ben. They caught it and threw it back. They played catch with the giant. They had fun. They became friends. They learned that giants can be nice too.
+Lily was a nosy girl. She liked to see everything and ask many questions. One day, she saw a woman with a veil on her face. The veil was blue and shiny, and it covered her hair and nose and mouth.
+
+Lily was curious. She wanted to see the woman's face. She ran to the woman and said, "Hello, why do you wear a veil? Can I see your face?"
+
+The woman smiled and said, "Hello, little girl. I wear a veil because it is part of my culture and religion. It shows respect and modesty. You can see my face, but only if you ask nicely and if I agree."
+
+Lily said, "Please, can I see your face? I want to see your eyes and your smile."
+
+The woman nodded and lifted her veil a little. She had brown eyes and a warm smile. She said, "Here, you can see my face. I am happy to meet you. What is your name?"
+
+Lily said, "My name is Lily. I like your veil. It is pretty and sparkly. Can I touch it?"
+
+The woman said, "Yes, you can touch it. It is soft and smooth. But be gentle, it is delicate."
+
+Lily touched the veil and said, "Thank you for showing me your face and your veil. You are very nice. Can we be friends?"
+
+The woman said, "Of course, we can be friends. You are very sweet and polite. What do you like to do?"
+
+Lily said, "I like to see new things and learn new words. Do you want to play with me?"
+
+The woman said, "Yes, I want to play with you. Let's go to the park and have some fun."
+
+Lily and the woman went to the park and played together. They saw many flowers and birds and swings and slides. They laughed and talked and had a good time. Lily learned some words from the woman's language, and the woman learned some words from Lily's language. They were happy to see each other and to share their cultures. They became good friends.
+Ben and Mia were going to the park with their mom. They liked the park because it had swings, slides and a big pond with ducks. But on the way, they saw a big statue of a man on a horse. Ben wanted to stop and look at it.
+
+"Mom, can we see the statue?" Ben asked.
+
+"Not now, Ben. We have to hurry. The park will close soon," Mom said.
+
+"But I want to see the statue. It is so big and shiny. Maybe the man is a king or a hero," Ben said. He was stubborn and did not want to move.
+
+Mia did not care about the statue. She wanted to play in the park. She pulled Ben's hand and said, "Come on, Ben. The statue is boring. The park is fun. We can see the statue another day."
+
+But Ben did not listen. He crossed his arms and said, "No. I want to see the statue now. You are boring."
+
+Mom sighed. She did not want to fight with Ben. She knew he was curious and liked to learn new things. But she also did not want to delay their trip to the park. She had an idea.
+
+"Okay, Ben. How about this? We can see the statue for one minute. But then we have to go to the park. And you have to promise to be nice to Mia and share the swings with her. Deal?" Mom said.
+
+Ben thought about it. He really wanted to see the statue. But he also liked the swings and did not want to make Mia sad. He nodded and said, "Deal."
+
+Mom smiled and took Ben and Mia to the statue. She told them the statue was of a famous general who fought in a war long ago. Ben looked at the statue with wonder. He asked Mom some questions about the general and the war. Mia looked at the statue too, but she was not very interested. She was happy that Ben was happy.
+
+After one minute, Mom said, "Time's up. Let's go to the park."
+
+Ben and Mia followed Mom to the park. They played on the swings, the slides and the pond. They had a lot of fun. They did not fight or argue. They thanked Mom for taking them to the park and the statue. Mom hugged them and said, "You're welcome. I love you both."
+Sam and Tom are brothers. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big tap near the pond. The tap is shiny and red. Sam wants to turn the tap and see what happens. Tom says no, it is not a good idea. He says the tap is for the ducks and the fish, not for them.
+
+But Sam does not listen. He runs to the tap and turns it hard. Water comes out of the tap, very fast and very loud. The water goes everywhere. It makes the pond overflow. It makes the grass wet. It makes the ducks and the fish scared. It makes the people angry.
+
+Tom is shocked. He walks to Sam and says, "What did you do? You are very bad. You have to stop the water. You have to say sorry." Sam feels guilty. He tries to turn the tap back, but he cannot. The tap is too tight. He starts to cry.
+
+Then, they hear a siren. A big truck comes to the park. It has a sign that says "Park Ranger". The park ranger gets out of the truck. He sees the water and the tap and the boys. He is very mad. He walks to Sam and Tom and says, "Who did this? Who turned the tap on? You are in big trouble. You have to come with me."
+
+Sam and Tom are scared. They know they did something wrong. They wish they had listened to Tom. They wish they had left the tap alone. They wish they could go back and play in the park. But they cannot. They have to go with the park ranger. They do not know what will happen to them. They think they will never have fun again. The end.

+
+Anna says, "But I want to stamp a dinosaur. Stamping is easier and prettier."

+
+Anna says, "Please, Tom. Please let me use your stamps. Just one dinosaur stamp. I will give it back to you."
+
+Tom says, "No, no, no. You are too little. You will make a mess. You will ruin my stamps. Go away."
+
+Anna feels sad. She goes back to her mom. She says, "Mom, Tom won't let me use his stamps. He is mean. He doesn't share."
+
+Mom says, "I'm sorry, Anna. Tom should share his stamps with you. But maybe you can make a card without a dinosaur stamp. You can use other stamps. You can use stickers. You can use glitter. You can make a beautiful card for Ben."
+
+Anna says, "But I want to make a perfect card for Ben. He likes dinosaurs. He doesn't like flowers or stars or hearts."
+
+Mom says, "Anna, you know what? A perfect card is not a card that has a dinosaur stamp. A perfect card is a card that shows how much you care. A perfect card is a card that makes your friend happy. A perfect card is a card that comes from your heart."
+
+Anna thinks about what mom says. She says, "You are right, mom. A perfect card is a card that comes from my heart. I will make a card for Ben with my heart. Thank you, mom."
+
+Anna hugs mom. She goes to her table. She picks a green paper. She draws a big dinosaur with a crayon. She writes "Happy Birthday Ben" with a marker. She sticks some stickers and glitter on the card. She smiles. She thinks her card is perfect. She hopes Ben will like it. She puts it in an envelope. She writes Ben's name on it. She is ready to give it to him. She is happy.

+
+Lila did not want to say sorry or share. She pouted and said, "No, I will not. It is my brush. He broke it. He is bad." The teacher said, "Lila, if you do not say sorry or share, you will have a time out. You will sit in the corner and think about what you did."

+Tom and Sam stop marching. They look at the clock. They are surprised. They say, "Yes, please, Mr. Clock. We want to hear a song."
+
+The clock says, "Okay, then. Listen carefully. I will sing a song about the time. When I finish, you can tell me what time it is."
+
+The clock sings a song. It says, "Ding dong, ding dong, I am the clock on the tower. I tell you the time every hour. Ding dong, ding dong, now it is ten o'clock. How many times did I ring? Can you count the knocks?"
+
+Tom and Sam listen to the song. They count the knocks. They say, "You rang ten times, Mr. Clock. It is ten o'clock."
+
+The clock says, "Very good, Tom and Sam. You are smart children. You can count and tell the time. I am proud of you."
+
+Tom and Sam smile. They are happy. They say, "Thank you, Mr. Clock. You are a nice clock. You can sing and tell the time. We are glad to meet you."

+The clock says, "You are welcome, Tom and Sam. You are nice children. You can march and play. I am glad to meet you too. Come back and visit me again."
+
+Tom and Sam say, "We will, Mr. Clock. Goodbye for now."
+
+They wave to the clock. They march back to the park. They have fun. They are friends.
+Sara was a compassionate person. She liked to help others who were sad or hurt. One day, she saw a little bird on the ground. The bird had a broken wing and could not fly.
+
+"Hello, bird," Sara said softly. "Don't be scared. I will help you." She picked up the bird gently and put it in a box. She brought the box to her house and gave the bird some water and seeds.
+
+The bird was very grateful. It liked Sara and wanted to be her friend. It tried to say her name, but it was hard. It sounded like "S-s-sa".
+
+"Can you repeat that?" Sara asked. She wanted to hear the bird better.
+
+"S-s-sa," the bird said again.
+
+"Sara," Sara said slowly. "That's my name. Can you say Sara?"
+
+The bird listened carefully. It opened its beak and said, "Sara!"
+
+Sara was very happy. She clapped her hands and hugged the bird. "You did it! You said my name! You are very smart!"
+
+The bird was happy too. It chirped and nuzzled Sara. "Sara, Sara, Sara!"
+
+Sara and the bird became good friends. Sara took care of the bird until its wing healed. Then she let the bird fly free. But the bird always came back to visit Sara and repeat her name. Sara was a compassionate person, and the bird loved her.
+Sam and Lily liked to play in the park. They liked to run, jump, slide and swing. They also liked to find things in the grass, like sticks, stones and bugs. One day, they found a big sack. It was brown and dirty and had a hole in it.
+
+"Look, a sack!" Sam said. "What is inside?"
+
+"I don't know. Let's open it!" Lily said. They pulled the sack to a bench and looked inside. There were many things in the sack. There were clothes, books, toys and cans.
+
+"Wow, so many things!" Sam said. "Maybe someone left them here."
+
+"Maybe they are gifts for us!" Lily said. She took out a red dress and put it on. Sam took out a toy car and made it go vroom vroom.
+
+They had fun with the things in the sack. They did not see the man who was watching them from behind a tree. He had a mean face and a big stick. He was the owner of the sack. He was a crazy man who lived in the park. He did not like anyone to touch his things.
+
+He waited until Sam and Lily were busy with a book. Then he ran to the bench and grabbed the sack. He shouted at them.
+
+"Hey, you little thieves! Give me back my sack! These are my things!"
+
+Sam and Lily were scared. They dropped the book and ran away. The man chased them with his stick. He was very angry.
+
+They ran to the playground, where there were other children and parents. They saw a big puddle near the slide. They had an idea.
+
+"Quick, jump over the puddle!" Sam said to Lily. They jumped over the puddle and kept running. The man did not see the puddle. He stepped in it and slipped. He fell down and dropped the sack. The things in the sack flew out and landed on him.
+
+The children and parents saw what happened. They laughed at the man. He was wet and dirty and covered with things. He looked very silly.
+
+Sam and Lily were safe. They hugged each other and smiled. They did not want the things in the sack anymore. They just wanted to play. They learned a lesson. They should not take things that are not theirs. And they should stay away from crazy men.
+Anna loved to play with her toy car. It was red and shiny and made a loud noise when she pushed a button. She liked to imagine that she was driving to different places, like the park, the zoo, or the moon. She always took her toy car with her wherever she went.
+
+One day, she went to visit her grandma, who lived in a big house with a garden. Anna brought her toy car and showed it to her grandma. "Wow, what a nice car, Anna!" her grandma said. "Can I play with it too?" Anna nodded and gave her the car. Her grandma pushed the button and made the noise. "Vroom, vroom!" she said. "This is fun!"
+
+They played with the car for a while, until Anna noticed that the noise was getting softer and softer. She looked at the car and saw that the light was dimming. "Oh no, grandma, the car is dying!" she cried. "What can we do?" Her grandma smiled and said, "Don't worry, Anna, we just need to change the battery. Do you know what a battery is?" Anna shook her head. "A battery is a thing that gives power to your car. It's like a little box with metal ends. Sometimes, it runs out of power and you need to put a new one in. Come, I'll show you."
+
+Her grandma took her to a drawer where she kept some batteries. She picked one that was the same size as the one in the car. She showed Anna how to open the car and take out the old battery. She explained that the old battery was chubby and heavy, because it had used up all its power. She gave Anna the new battery, which was slim and light, because it had a lot of power. She helped Anna put the new battery in the car and close it. "There, now your car is ready to go again. Let's try it." She pushed the button and the car made a loud noise again. "Vroom, vroom!" she said. Anna clapped her hands and hugged her grandma. "Thank you, grandma, you're the best!" she said. "You're welcome, Anna, I'm glad you're happy. You know, you can learn a lot from your toys. They can teach you about how things work, and how to take care of them. And they can also teach you about sharing and being kind. Just like you shared your car with me, and I shared my battery with you. That's what makes playing fun and meaningful. Do you understand?" Anna nodded and said, "Yes, grandma, I understand. I love you and I love my car. Can we play some more?" Her grandma smiled and said, "Of course, Anna, let's play some more. And let's imagine where we can go next." They held the car and pretended to drive to different places, laughing and having a good time.

+
+Lily and Tom agreed. They went to the garden and saw the cat. The cat was sleeping under a tree. Lily and Tom tried to pet the cat, but the cat ran away. They chased the cat around the garden, but they could not catch it.

+
+"Meow!" the cat said.
+
+Suddenly, they heard grandma's voice. "Lily, Tom, come inside! I have something for you!"

+Anna likes to play with her rubber duck in the bath. She makes it swim and quack and splash. But one day, she sees a hole in her duck. Air comes out and the duck does not float. Anna is sad. She loves her duck.
+
+She runs to her dad and shows him the duck. "Dad, dad, can you fix my duck?" she asks. Dad is busy. He is working on his laptop. He looks at the duck and says, "I'm sorry, Anna, I don't have time to fix your duck right now. Maybe later."
+
+Anna does not want to wait. She wants her duck to be happy. She thinks hard. She remembers that mom has a box of things to fix things. She goes to mom's room and finds the box. She sees a roll of tape. She thinks tape can fix her duck. She takes the tape and goes back to the bath.

+
+One day, she saw a new boy in the park. His name was Ben and he had a red bike. He looked friendly, but Lila was too shy to say hello. She hid behind her ship and watched him ride his bike.
+
+"Hi, I'm Ben. What's your name?" Ben said, as he stopped his bike near Lila's ship. He saw the ship and smiled. "That's a cool ship. Can I see it?"
+
+Lila felt scared and did not answer. She held her ship tightly and hoped that Ben would go away.
+
+"Please don't be shy. I just want to be your friend. Can I play with you?" Ben said, as he came closer to Lila's ship. He saw that Lila had drawn some windows and a flag on her ship. "You are very good at making things. I like your ship."
+
+Lila felt a little bit happy that Ben liked her ship. She liked making things too. She looked at Ben and saw that he had a kind smile. She decided to be brave and part her ship a little bit. She said in a small voice, "My name is Lila. You can play with me."
+
+Ben was happy that Lila spoke to him. He thanked her and part his bike a little bit. He said in a big voice, "I'm glad to meet you, Lila. Let's play together. Where do you want to sail today?"
+
+Lila smiled and said in a bigger voice, "Let's sail to the moon. I heard there are stars and cheese there."
+
+Ben laughed and said in a bigger voice, "That sounds fun. Let's go!"
+
+They both got inside Lila's ship and pretended to sail to the moon. They had a lot of fun and became good friends. Lila was not shy anymore. She was happy.
+Lily liked to fly. She had a big red cape that she tied around her neck. When she ran fast, she felt like she was flying in the air. She liked to fly in the park, in the yard, and in the house.
+
+One day, she wanted to fly in the kitchen. She saw a big cake on the table. It looked yummy. She wanted to fly to the cake and have a bite. She ran to the kitchen and jumped on a chair. She put on her cape and said, "I am Lily, the flying girl!"
+
+But then, she heard a voice. It was her mom. She said, "Lily, what are you doing? That cake is for grandma's birthday. You can't fly to the cake and have a bite. That is not polite."
+
+Lily felt sorry. She did not want to make her mom angry. She did not want to ruin grandma's cake. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I just wanted to fly. I like to fly. Can I fly somewhere else?"
+
+Her mom smiled. She said, "I know you like to fly, Lily. But you have to be careful where you fly. You can't fly to things that are not yours. You can fly in your room, or in the living room, or in the hall. But not in the kitchen. Okay?"
+
+Lily nodded. She said, "Okay, mom. I will be polite. I will not fly to the cake. I will fly somewhere else. Can I have a hug?"
+
+Her mom hugged her. She said, "Of course, you can have a hug. You are my flying girl. I love you."

+Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They saw a big flame in the sky. It was orange and red and yellow. It was beautiful.
+
+"Look, Lily, a flame!" Ben said.
+
+"What is a flame, Ben?" Lily asked.
+
+"A flame is fire, but far away. It is hot and bright. It can make things burn," Ben said.
+
+"Is it good or bad?" Lily asked.
+
+"It can be both. It can keep us warm and cook our food. But it can also hurt us and our things. We have to be careful with fire," Ben said.
+
+"Who made the flame in the sky?" Lily asked.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe someone or something. Maybe it is a sign or a gift. Maybe we can make a wish on it," Ben said.
+
+"Let's make a wish, Ben. Maybe it will come true," Lily said.
+
+They closed their eyes and made a wish. They wished for more toys, more candy, and more fun. They opened their eyes and smiled.
+
+The flame was still there, beautiful and mysterious. They wondered if it heard them. They hoped it did. They felt happy and curious. They wanted to tell their mom and dad about the flame. They ran inside to find them.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big sack under a tree. It was dirty and smelly.
+
+"Let's see what's inside!" Tom said.
+
+"No, don't touch it! It might be someone's stuff!" Lily said.
+
+But Tom did not listen. He ran to the sack and opened it. He disturbed a big rat that was sleeping inside. The rat was angry and scared. It jumped out of the sack and bit Tom on the hand.
+
+"Ow! Ow! Ow!" Tom cried. He dropped the sack and ran back to Lily. His hand was bleeding and hurting.
+
+Lily was scared too. She tried to help Tom. She wrapped his hand with her scarf. She looked for a grown-up to help them.
+
+But there was no one around. The park was empty and quiet. The sun was setting and it was getting dark.
+
+They heard a loud noise. It was the rat. It had followed them. It was not alone. It had brought its friends. Many rats. They were hungry and angry. They wanted the sack back.
+
+They surrounded Tom and Lily. They showed their teeth and claws. They squeaked and hissed.
+
+Tom and Lily screamed. They tried to run away. But it was too late. The rats attacked them. They bit and scratched them. They dragged them to the sack.
+
+The end.
+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play together at school. One day, they have a new game. They want to make the teacher smile.
+
+They wait in the hall until the teacher comes. They hide behind a big box. They are very alert. They do not want the teacher to see them.
+
+When the teacher walks by, they jump out and say "Boo!" They hope the teacher will smile and laugh. But the teacher does not smile. The teacher looks angry. The teacher says "Tom and Mia, what are you doing? You scared me! That is not a nice game. Go to your class now!"
+
+Tom and Mia feel sad. They did not want to make the teacher angry. They walk to their class with their heads down. They say "Sorry, teacher. We just wanted to make you smile."
+
+The teacher sees that they are sorry. The teacher says "It's okay, Tom and Mia. I know you did not mean to be bad. But you have to be careful. You could have hurt someone or yourself. Next time, think of a better game. A game that is fun and safe for everyone."
+
+Tom and Mia nod. They say "Yes, teacher. We will think of a better game. Thank you, teacher." Then they see the teacher smile. They smile too. They are happy. They are still friends.
+Lila and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big slide. Lila wants to go on the slide, but Ben is scared.
+
+"Come on, Ben, it is fun!" Lila says. "You can spring down the slide and feel the wind in your hair."
+
+"No, Lila, it is too high. I might fall and hurt myself." Ben says. "You go first, I will watch."
+
+Lila nods and runs to the slide. She climbs up the ladder and sits on the top. She looks at Ben and smiles. Then she pushes herself and springs down the slide. She laughs and feels happy.
+
+Ben watches Lila and feels ashamed. He wishes he was brave like her. He wants to try the slide, too. He walks to the ladder and starts to climb. He goes slowly and carefully. He reaches the top and looks down. He feels dizzy and scared. He wants to go back, but he sees Lila waiting for him.
+
+"Come on, Ben, you can do it!" Lila says. "It is not hard, just let go and spring!"
+
+Ben tries to be brave. He closes his eyes and lets go. He springs down the slide, but he does not feel the wind in his hair. He feels a bump and a pain. He opens his eyes and sees that he has hit his head on a rock. He cries and bleeds.
+
+Lila runs to Ben and sees that he is hurt. She feels sorry and scared. She calls for help. A man comes and sees Ben. He says that Ben needs to go to the hospital. He picks up Ben and takes him to his car. Lila follows him and holds Ben's hand.
+
+They drive to the hospital and the man takes Ben to the doctor. The doctor says that Ben has a big cut on his head and needs stitches. He says that Ben will be okay, but he has to stay in the hospital for a while. He says that Lila can visit him later.
+
+Lila feels sad and guilty. She thinks that it is her fault that Ben got hurt. She thinks that she should not have pushed him to go on the slide. She thinks that she is a bad friend. She wishes that she could make Ben better. She wishes that they could play in the park again. She wishes that they could spring down the slide and laugh and feel happy. But they can't. Not today.
+Lily likes to play dress-up with her toys. She has a lot of hats and clothes and shoes to wear. She likes to pretend she is a guard, a doctor, a princess, or a teacher. She wears a big hat and a coat and a whistle when she is a guard. She tells her toys to stay in line and follow the rules.
+
+One day, she is playing guard with her teddy bear, her doll, and her car. She puts them on the sofa and says, "You are my prisoners. You have to do what I say. No talking, no moving, no fun." She blows her whistle and walks around the sofa. She feels very important and bossy.
+
+But then, her brother Tom comes into the room. He sees Lily and her toys and laughs. He says, "What are you doing, Lily? You look silly. You are not a guard. You are a messy girl. Look at your hat and your coat and your whistle. They are dirty and old and broken. You need to clean them up and put them away."
+
+Lily feels angry and sad. She says, "No, Tom. You are wrong. I am a guard. I am playing dress-up. It is fun. You are mean. Go away. Leave me and my toys alone." She blows her whistle louder and tries to scare Tom.
+
+But Tom does not go away. He says, "No, Lily. I am not mean. I am your brother. I want to play with you. But not dress-up. Dress-up is boring. Let's play something else. Something more fun. Like cars or puzzles or blocks. Come on, Lily. Put away your hat and your coat and your whistle. And your prisoners. They are not happy. They want to play too."
+
+Lily thinks for a moment. She looks at her toys. They do look sad and bored. She looks at Tom. He looks happy and friendly. She says, "OK, Tom. Maybe you are right. Maybe dress-up is not so fun. Maybe we can play something else. But first, can I wear your hat? It is nice and new and shiny. And you can wear my whistle. It is loud and fun and cool."
+
+Tom smiles and says, "OK, Lily. That sounds fair. We can share our hats and whistles. And then we can play something else. Together. As brother and sister. And as friends." He gives Lily his hat and takes her whistle. They hug and laugh. They put away their clothes and shoes. They take their toys and go to the playroom. They have a lot of fun. And they are not messy anymore.
+Tim was a little boy who liked to play outside. He had a ball that was orange and he liked to kick it and throw it. One day, he was playing with his ball in the park with his mom and dad. He saw a big hill and he wanted to roll down it with his ball.
+
+He ran to the top of the hill and held his ball. He smiled and said, "Ready, set, go!" He let go of his ball and started to roll down the hill. He felt the wind in his hair and the grass on his skin. He laughed and had fun.
+
+But then, he saw something shiny and round at the bottom of the hill. It was a drain. He did not know what a drain was, but he thought it looked like a big hole. He did not want his ball to go into the hole. He tried to stop rolling, but he was going too fast. He reached for his ball, but he missed it. He saw his ball go into the drain and disappear. He felt sad and scared.
+
+He got to the bottom of the hill and he stumbled. He fell on the ground and scraped his knee. He cried and said, "Ow, ow, ow!" He looked at the drain and said, "Ball, ball, ball!" He wanted his ball back, but he did not know how to get it.
+
+His mom and dad heard him cry and ran to him. They hugged him and said, "It's okay, Tim, it's okay." They looked at his knee and said, "You have a boo-boo, but we can fix it." They took out a band-aid and put it on his knee. They kissed his cheek and said, "You are brave, Tim, you are brave."
+
+They looked at the drain and said, "We are sorry, Tim, your ball is gone. The drain took it away. But we can get you a new ball, a better ball. What color do you want?" Tim thought for a moment and said, "Orange. I want an orange ball." His mom and dad smiled and said, "Okay, Tim, we will get you an orange ball. But first, let's go home and have some juice and cookies. How does that sound?" Tim nodded and said, "Okay, okay." He still felt sad, but he also felt loved. He held his mom and dad's hands and walked with them. He hoped he would find his ball again, but he also looked forward to his new ball. He learned that drains are bad, but hills are fun. He learned that balls can be lost, but love can be found. He learned that orange is his favorite color.
+Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play with blocks. They build houses and towers and cars with blocks. They have many blocks of different colors and shapes.
+
+One day, they want to build a big house with a roof. They use many blocks to make the walls and the door and the windows. They use flat blocks to make the floor. They look for blocks to make the roof.
+
+"Look, Sam, I have these big blocks. They are red and blue and yellow. They can be the roof," Tom says.
+
+"OK, Tom, let's use them. But they are heavy. We need to be careful," Sam says.
+
+They lift the big blocks and try to set them on top of the walls. But the blocks are too heavy and too big. They wobble and fall. The blocks make a loud noise. The house breaks. The blocks scatter everywhere.
+
+"Oh no, Tom, our house is gone. The roof was too heavy. It broke everything," Sam says.
+
+"I'm sorry, Sam. I wanted to make a nice roof. But it was a bad idea. The roof was too heavy. It was not good for the house," Tom says.
+
+They are sad. They look at the mess. They don't know what to do.
+
+"Hey, boys, what happened here?" Mom says. She comes into the room. She sees the blocks and the broken house.
+
+"We tried to make a house with a roof, Mom. But the roof was too heavy. It fell and broke the house. We are sorry, Mom," Tom and Sam say.
+
+Mom smiles. She hugs them. She says, "It's OK, boys. I'm not mad. You were trying to be creative and have fun. But sometimes things don't work out. That's OK. You can try again. Maybe you can use smaller blocks for the roof. Or you can use something else, like a cloth or a paper. Or you can make a house without a roof. There are many ways to play with blocks. You can use your imagination."
+
+Tom and Sam feel better. They say, "Thank you, Mom. You are right. We can try again. We can use our imagination. We can make a new house. We can have fun."
+
+They hug Mom. They pick up the blocks. They start to build again. They are happy.
+Tom was a bald boy who liked to play with his friends. He had a hat that he wore every day to cover his head. He was afraid that the other kids would laugh at him if they saw his bald head.
+
+One day, he went to the mill with his friends. The mill was a big house where they made flour from wheat. Tom saw a big wheel that turned the wheat into flour. He wanted to see how it worked, so he climbed up the ladder to the top of the wheel.
+
+But he was not careful, and his hat fell off his head. His friends saw his bald head and started to laugh. Tom felt very sad and ran away. He hid behind a tree and cried.
+
+A kind man who worked at the mill saw Tom and came to talk to him. He said, "Why are you crying, little boy?"
+
+Tom said, "My friends laughed at me because I have no hair. They don't like me anymore."
+
+The man said, "That's not true. Your friends like you for who you are, not for how you look. And having no hair is not a bad thing. Look at me, I have no hair too, and I am happy and proud. Hair does not make you smart or brave or kind. It's what's inside that counts."
+
+Tom looked at the man and saw that he was bald too. He also saw that he had a big smile and a friendly face. He said, "You are right, sir. Thank you for making me feel better. I will go back to my friends and say sorry for running away. And I will not be ashamed of my bald head anymore."
+
+The man said, "You are welcome, little boy. I am glad you learned a lesson today. And remember, always try to be yourself and be happy with what you have."
+
+Tom nodded and hugged the man. Then he ran back to his friends and apologized. His friends said sorry too and hugged him. They said they liked him no matter what. They played together at the mill and had a lot of fun.
+
+The moral of the story is: Don't judge people by their appearance, and don't be afraid to be yourself.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to go to the market with their mom. They see many things at the market: fruits, flowers, toys, books, and more. They gaze at everything with big eyes.
+
+"Look, Ben, a balloon!" Anna says. She points to a man who makes balloons into different shapes. He is very creative. He makes a balloon dog, a balloon hat, a balloon flower, and a balloon sword.
+
+"Wow, that's cool!" Ben says. He wants a balloon sword. He runs to the man and asks, "Can I have a sword, please?"
+
+"Sure, little boy," the man says. He makes a balloon sword for Ben and gives it to him. "Here you go. Be careful, don't pop it."
+
+"Thank you, thank you!" Ben says. He holds the balloon sword and pretends to be a knight. He swings it in the air and makes noises.
+
+Anna wants a balloon too. She likes the balloon flower. She walks to the man and says, "Can I have a flower, please?"
+
+"Of course, little girl," the man says. He makes a balloon flower for Anna and gives it to her. "Here you go. It's very pretty, like you."
+
+"Thank you, thank you!" Anna says. She holds the balloon flower and smells it. She smiles and twirls.
+
+Mom sees Anna and Ben with their balloons. She is happy. She says, "You two are very lucky. You have such nice balloons. Do you like them?"
+
+"Yes, Mom, we love them!" Anna and Ben say. They hug Mom and show her their balloons. They are very happy. They gaze at their balloons and at each other. They are the best twins.
+Timmy liked to play with his figures. He had many figures of animals and people and cars. He made them talk and move and have fun. He put them on the floor, on the table, on the bed. He was very thoughtful. He made stories for his figures.
+
+One day, he had a new idea. He wanted to make his figures fly. He thought it would be fun to see them in the air. He looked for something to help them fly. He saw his daddy's fan. He thought the fan could make wind for his figures. He turned on the fan and put his figures in front of it.
+
+At first, nothing happened. The figures stayed on the floor. Timmy was sad. He wanted them to fly. He moved them closer to the fan. Then, something happened. The fan blew very hard. The figures flew up in the air. They flew very fast and very far. They flew out of the window. Timmy was shocked. He ran to the window. He saw his figures flying away. He saw a bird catch one of his figures. He saw a car hit another one of his figures. He saw a dog chase another one of his figures. He saw his figures disappear.
+
+Timmy was very sad. He lost his figures. He cried. He wanted his figures back. He wished he did not make them fly. He wished he was more careful. He learned a lesson. He did not laugh.
+
+The end.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the kitchen. They saw a big knife on the table. It was shiny and smooth.
+
+"Wow, look at this!" Ben said. "It is so cool!"
+
+"Can I touch it?" Lily asked.
+
+"OK, but be careful. It is very sharp." Ben said.
+
+They discussed how to hold the knife and what they could do with it. They pretended to cut fruits and vegetables. They had fun.
+
+But then, Ben had a bad idea. He wanted to scare Lily. He pointed the knife at her and said, "Boo!"
+
+Lily was very scared. She screamed and pushed Ben away. Ben lost his balance and fell on the floor. The knife slipped from his hand and stabbed him in the chest. He cried out in pain and blood came out.
+
+Lily was shocked. She ran to get help. She found their mom in the living room. She told her what happened.
+
+Mom was very angry and sad. She called 911 and ran to the kitchen. She saw Ben lying on the floor. He was not moving. He was dead.
+
+Mom hugged Lily and cried. She wished they had never played with the knife. She wished they had listened to her. She wished she had been there to stop them. She wished she could turn back time. But it was too late.
+Anna likes to play the violin. She has a small violin that is just right for her. She plays songs that make her happy and sad and angry and calm. She likes to play with her friend Ben, who has a drum.
+
+One day, Anna and Ben want to play a new song. They look at a book with pictures and words. The book says the song is from a far place where the food is spicy and the sun is hot. Anna and Ben want to try the spicy food and feel the hot sun.
+
+They start to play the song. Anna holds the violin under her chin and moves the bow. Ben hits the drum with his hands. They make sounds that are fast and slow and loud and soft. They try to sound like the people from the far place.
+
+But Anna's arm starts to hurt. She has to stretch it a lot to play the violin. She stops and says, "Ow, ow, ow! My arm hurts. I can't play anymore."
+
+Ben stops too and says, "Oh, no! Are you okay, Anna? Do you need a hug?"
+
+Anna nods and says, "Yes, please. A hug would be nice. And maybe some ice for my arm."
+
+Ben gives Anna a hug and says, "I'm sorry your arm hurts. You played very well. I liked the song. Maybe we can play it again another day, when your arm feels better."
+
+Anna smiles and says, "Thank you, Ben. You played very well too. I liked the drum. Maybe we can play another song now, a shorter one, that doesn't hurt my arm."
+
+Ben nods and says, "Okay, let's do that. How about the song about the cat and the mouse?"
+
+Anna says, "Yes, I like that song. It's funny and easy. Let's play it."
+
+They pick up their instruments and play the song about the cat and the mouse. They laugh and have fun. They forget about the spicy food and the hot sun. They are happy to play together.

+
+"Sorry, kids, that video is not available today. It is too popular. Many people want to watch it. You have to wait until tomorrow," Tom's mom says.
+
+Tom and Mia are sad. They really want to watch the plant video. They wonder how big the plant can grow. They wonder if it can eat a car or a house.
+
+"Maybe we can watch another video," Mia says. "How about the one with the funny dog?"
+
+Tom nods. He likes the funny dog. He makes them laugh. They decide to watch the funny dog video. They hope the plant video will be available tomorrow. They still want to see it. But they also enjoy the funny dog video. They have fun together.
+Tommy was playing with his toy cars in the living room. He liked to make them zoom and crash on the carpet. He did not like to clean them after he was done. He left them all over the floor.
+
+His mom came in and saw the mess. She was not happy. She said, "Tommy, you need to clean your toys. They are in the way and they are smelly. They have dust and dirt on them. If you don't clean them, they will get sick and you will have to take them to the doctor."
+
+Tommy did not want to take his toys to the doctor. He was scared of the doctor. He said, "But mom, I don't want to clean them. I want to play more. Cleaning is boring."
+
+His mom said, "Cleaning is not boring. It is fun and easy. You just need to put your toys in a basket and wipe them with a cloth. Then they will be shiny and happy. And you will be a good boy. Come on, I will help you."
+
+Tommy agreed to clean his toys with his mom. He picked up his cars and put them in the basket. He wiped them with a cloth. He saw that they looked better. He said, "Mom, you are right. Cleaning is fun. My toys are not smelly anymore. They are not sick. They don't need to go to the doctor. Thank you, mom."
+
+His mom smiled and hugged him. She said, "You are welcome, Tommy. You are a good boy. I am proud of you. Now you can play with your toys again. But remember to clean them when you are done."
+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play with blocks and cars. One day, they have a big idea. They want to make a bridge with blocks and cars. They work hard and put many blocks and cars together.
+
+"Look, Lily, I show you my bridge!" Tom says. He is proud of his bridge. He puts a car on top of the bridge and makes it go vroom vroom.
+
+"Wow, Tom, your bridge is very good!" Lily says. She likes Tom's bridge. She wants to show him her bridge too. She puts a car on top of her bridge and makes it go beep beep.
+
+But then, something bad happens. The bridges are too high and too weak. They fall down and make a big noise. The blocks and cars go everywhere. Lily and Tom are scared and sad. They cry.
+
+"Oh no, our bridges are broken!" Lily says. She is sorry for her bridge and Tom's bridge.
+
+"I'm sorry too, Lily. We worked hard, but we made a mistake." Tom says. He is sorry for his bridge and Lily's bridge.
+
+Their teacher hears the noise and comes to see what happened. She sees the broken bridges and the crying children. She is not angry. She is kind.
+
+"Don't cry, Lily and Tom. It's okay. You tried to make something new and fun. That's good. But sometimes, things don't work as we want. That's the result of trying. We can learn from it and try again." She says. She hugs them and helps them clean up.
+
+Lily and Tom feel better. They thank their teacher and smile. They still like to play with blocks and cars. But next time, they will make lower and stronger bridges. And they will be more careful. They are happy.
+Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play with their dog, Spot. Spot was a loyal dog who always followed them and did what they said. One day, Lily and Ben found a jar in the kitchen. It was big and shiny and had a red lid.
+
+"Look, a jar!" Lily said. "What is inside?"
+
+"I don't know. Let's open it and see," Ben said. He tried to twist the lid, but it was too tight.
+
+"Help me, Lily," he said.
+
+Lily put her hands on the lid and tried to help Ben. They pulled and pushed, but the lid did not move.
+
+"Spot, help us," Lily said. She pointed to the jar.
+
+Spot ran to them and barked. He saw the jar and licked his lips. He thought there was something yummy inside. He put his paws on the jar and tried to bite the lid.
+
+"Good boy, Spot," Ben said. "Repeat, repeat!"
+
+Spot repeated. He bit the lid harder and harder, until it popped off. The jar was full of cookies.
+
+"Wow, cookies!" Lily said. "Thank you, Spot!"
+
+Spot wagged his tail and smiled. He was happy to help his friends. Lily and Ben gave him a cookie and took some for themselves. They shared the cookies and ate them happily. They hugged Spot and said, "You are the best dog ever. You are loyal and smart and strong. We love you, Spot!"
+Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and look for worms. They had a big jar to keep the worms in.
+
+"Look, I found a big worm!" Lily said, holding up a long, slimy thing. "He is so wiggly!"
+
+"Let me see!" Ben said, reaching for the worm. "I want to hold him too!"
+
+But Lily did not want to share. She pulled the worm away from Ben. "No, he is mine! I found him first!"
+
+Ben was angry. He saw a stick on the ground. He picked it up and pretended it was a gun. He pointed it at Lily and said, "Bang! Bang! I shoot you and your worm!"
+
+Lily was scared. She dropped the worm and ran away. She cried, "Stop it, Ben! That is not nice! You are mean!"
+
+Ben felt bad. He did not want to hurt Lily or the worm. He threw the stick away and ran after Lily. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily! I was just playing! I don't want to shoot you or your worm!"
+
+Lily stopped crying. She looked at Ben. She said, "Do you promise?"
+
+Ben nodded. He said, "I promise. Can we be friends again?"
+
+Lily smiled. She said, "Yes, we can be friends again. But you have to be gentle with the worms. They are not toys. They are living things."
+
+Ben agreed. He said, "OK, I will be gentle with the worms. Can we share them?"
+
+Lily nodded. She said, "Yes, we can share them. But we have to wash our hands first. They are filthy!"
+
+They went to the tap and washed their hands. Then they went back to the jar and looked at the worms. They were happy. They learned to play nicely and respect the worms.
+Lily and Ben are best friends. They like to play together every day. They have a big box of toys and they share them. Lily likes to dress up as a princess and Ben likes to be a knight.

+
+They go to the garden and ask Lily's mom to be the fairy. Lily's mom smiles and says yes. She gives them some magic words to say. Lily and Ben hold hands and repeat the words. They put the rings on each other's fingers. They kiss and hug.

+Ben and Mia like to play in the park. They like to swing, run, and slide. They slide very fast and laugh. They slide again and again.
+
+One day, it is very hot. The sun is bright and the air is warm. Ben and Mia are thirsty. They want to drink water. But they forget to bring water. They only have fruit. They have apples, bananas, and oranges.
+
+They eat some fruit. It is sweet and juicy. They feel better. But they are still thirsty. They see a fountain. It has water. They run to the fountain. They want to drink.
+
+But the fountain is not for drinking. It is for looking. It has a sign. The sign says: "Do not drink. Do not touch. The water is dirty." Ben and Mia do not see the sign. They do not know the words.
+
+They put their mouths to the water. They drink. They spit. The water is bad. It is not clean. It tastes like soap. They feel sick. They cough. They cry.
+
+A lady sees them. She is nice. She has a bottle of water. She gives them some water. She says: "Are you OK? You should not drink from the fountain. It is not good for you. Here, have some water. It is clean and cold."
+
+Ben and Mia drink the water. They say: "Thank you. We are sorry. We did not know. We were thirsty. We ate fruit. But we wanted water."
+
+The lady says: "It is OK. I understand. It is hot today. You need to drink a lot of water. And fruit is good for you too. But next time, bring your own water. And read the signs. They tell you what to do and what not to do."
+
+Ben and Mia nod. They say: "We will. Thank you for helping us. You are very kind."
+
+They smile. They feel better. They go back to the slide. They slide very fast and laugh. They slide again and again. They have fun. They are happy.
+Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play in the garden. They saw many flowers that were blooming. They smelled sweet and had bright colors. Lily and Ben picked some flowers and made crowns for their heads.
+
+"Look at me, I'm a queen!" Lily said, putting a crown of roses on her head.
+
+"And I'm a king!" Ben said, putting a crown of daisies on his head.
+
+They pretended to rule over the garden and the bugs. They had fun and laughed a lot.
+
+But then, Ben had an idea. He wanted to make a joke on Lily. He saw a bee buzzing near a flower. He picked the flower and hid the bee inside. He gave the flower to Lily and said, "Here, this is for you, my queen."
+
+Lily smiled and took the flower. She brought it close to her nose to smell it. But then, she felt a sting on her nose. She screamed and dropped the flower. The bee flew away.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow! That hurt!" Lily cried, rubbing her nose.
+
+Ben laughed and said, "Ha, ha, ha! That was a joke! Did you see the bee?"
+
+Lily was angry and sad. She felt dizzy and her nose was swollen. She threw her crown on the ground and said, "That was not a joke! That was mean! You are not my friend!"
+
+She ran away from Ben and went to find her mom. She told her mom what happened and her mom hugged her and gave her some ice for her nose.
+
+Ben felt sorry and ashamed. He realized he had made a bad joke. He wanted to say sorry to Lily, but she did not want to talk to him. He did not know what to do. He wished he had not picked the flower with the bee. He wished he had been a good friend.
+Sara liked to write. She wrote with crayons on paper, on the wall, on the floor. She wrote her name, shapes, animals, anything she could think of. She wrote all the time, even when her mom and dad told her to stop.
+
+One day, Sara found a skull in the yard. It was white and hard, with holes for eyes and nose and teeth. Sara thought it was cool. She wanted to write on it. She took a red crayon and wrote "Sara" on the skull. She was happy.
+
+But then, a big dog came. It saw the skull and wanted to play with it. It ran to Sara and barked. Sara was scared. She dropped the crayon and the skull and ran away. The dog picked up the skull and ran away too.
+
+Sara cried. She wanted her skull back. She wanted her crayon back. She ran to her mom and told her what happened. Her mom hugged her and said, "I'm sorry, Sara. But you shouldn't write on things that are not yours. The skull belonged to someone else, maybe an animal or a person. You should respect their things and their memory. And you should only write on paper or on your own things, not on the wall or the floor. That makes a mess and makes us sad."
+
+Sara nodded. She understood. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I won't write on things that are not mine anymore. I will only write on paper or on my own things. And I will clean up the wall and the floor. Can I have a new crayon, please?"
+
+Her mom smiled and said, "Of course, Sara. Here, take this blue crayon. It's your favorite color. And here, take this paper. You can write a nice story or a picture with it. And maybe you can share it with me later. I would love to see what you write."
+
+Sara smiled too. She took the crayon and the paper and went to her room. She felt comfortable and happy. She wrote a story about a skull and a dog and a girl. She wrote, "The end."

+Lily and Ben like to play in the bath. They splash and laugh and make bubbles with the soap. They have a lot of fun with the soap. They make shapes and animals and hats with the soap.
+
+One day, Lily has a new idea. She says to Ben, "Let's lock the door and hide from Mommy. She will not find us and we can play more." Ben thinks this is a good idea. He likes to play with Lily. He helps her lock the door and they giggle.
+
+Mommy comes to the bathroom and knocks on the door. She says, "Lily, Ben, time to get out of the bath. You are all clean and dry." But Lily and Ben do not answer. They think it is funny to hide from Mommy. They keep playing with the soap.
+
+Mommy knocks again and says, "Lily, Ben, open the door. I need to help you get dressed and brush your teeth." But Lily and Ben still do not answer. They think Mommy will go away and they can play more. They make more bubbles with the soap.
+
+Mommy gets worried and says, "Lily, Ben, this is not a game. Open the door right now. I need to see you and hug you." But Lily and Ben do not listen. They are too busy with the soap. They do not know that Mommy is scared and sad.
+
+Then, Lily gets a bad idea. She says to Ben, "Let's taste the soap. It looks yummy and sweet." Ben thinks this is a bad idea. He says, "No, Lily, the soap is not food. It is bitter and yucky. It will make you sick." But Lily does not listen. She takes a big bite of the soap.
+
+Lily spits out the soap and cries. The soap is bitter and yucky. It makes her mouth hurt and her tummy ache. She says, "Ben, help me. The soap is bad. I want Mommy." Ben feels sorry for Lily. He says, "Lily, I told you not to eat the soap. Let's open the door and say sorry to Mommy. She will help you and love you."
+
+Lily and Ben open the door and see Mommy. Mommy is angry and worried. She says, "Lily, Ben, why did you lock the door and hide from me? Why did you eat the soap? You could have hurt yourself. You scared me and made me sad." Lily and Ben feel bad. They say, "Mommy, we are sorry. We wanted to play with the soap. We did not mean to scare you and make you sad. We love you."
+
+Mommy hugs Lily and Ben and says, "I love you too. But you have to listen to me and follow the rules. The soap is not for eating. It is for washing. The door is not for locking. It is for opening. You have to be careful and safe. You have to be honest and kind." Lily and Ben nod and say, "Yes, Mommy. We will listen to you and follow the rules. We will be careful and safe. We will be honest and kind."
+
+Mommy helps Lily and Ben get dressed and brush their teeth. She gives them some water and honey to make their mouths feel better. She tells them a story and sings them a song. She tucks them in bed and kisses them good night. Lily and Ben smile and say, "Thank you, Mommy. We love you." Mommy smiles and says, "You're welcome, Lily and Ben. I love you too."
+Lily liked to write letters. She wrote letters to her mom, her dad, her grandma, and her friends. She used crayons and stickers and drew pictures of what she liked. She put her letters in envelopes and asked her mom to mail them.
+
+One day, Lily wanted to mail a letter by herself. She was a big girl and she wanted to be independent. She asked her mom if she could go to the mailbox alone. Her mom said yes, but she had to be careful and come back soon. Lily was happy and took her letter and ran to the mailbox.
+
+On the way, she saw a big dog. The dog was barking and running towards her. Lily was scared and dropped her letter. She ran back to her mom and cried. Her mom hugged her and said it was okay. The dog was not mean, he just wanted to play.
+
+Lily felt better, but she remembered her letter. She asked her mom if they could go get it. Her mom said yes, but they had to wait for the dog to go away. They looked out the window and saw the dog. The dog had found Lily's letter and was chewing on it. Lily was sad and angry. She said that was her letter and the dog was bad.
+
+Her mom said that the dog did not know that. The dog did not value letters like Lily did. He just liked to chew on things. Her mom said that Lily could write another letter and mail it later. She said that Lily's letters were very nice and that the people who got them would be very happy. She said that Lily was very good at writing letters and that she was proud of her.
+
+Lily smiled and thanked her mom. She said that she loved her mom and that she was sorry for running away. Her mom said that she loved her too and that she was not mad at her. She said that she understood that Lily wanted to be independent, but that she also had to be safe. She said that they could go to the mailbox together next time. Lily agreed and hugged her mom. She said that she would write another letter and that she would be careful. She said that she valued her mom and her letters.

+The man smiles. He says, "Thank you, little girl. You are very sweet. You are smart. You know how to be good. I'm okay. Don't worry."
+
+Lily and Ben hug the man. They say, "We're sorry, sir. We won't tease you again. We want to be your friends. Can we play with you?"
+
+The man nods. He says, "Of course, you can. I like to play, too. Let's go to the swings. I'll push you."
+
+Lily and Ben are happy. They go to the swings with the man. They have fun. They learn a lesson. They don't tease anyone anymore. They are nice to everyone.
+Tim and Sam were playing cops and robbers in the park. Tim had a toy gun and Sam had a toy badge. They ran around the trees and the swings, pretending to chase each other.
+
+"Stop, robber!" Tim shouted. "I have a gun and you are guilty!"
+
+Sam laughed and kept running. "No, I am not! You have to catch me first!"

+Tim ran to him and pointed his toy gun at his face. "Freeze, robber! Don't move or I will shoot you again!"
+
+He reached for Sam's toy badge and tried to take it. "Give me your license! You are not a real cop!"

+Sam smiled and grabbed Tim's toy gun. He turned it around and pointed it at Tim. "Surprise, cop! I am not a real robber! I am a spy and this is a trap!"
+
+He made a loud noise with his mouth. "Bang, bang, bang!"
+
+Tim pretended to fall down and lie on his side. He put his hand on his head. "Oh, no, you got me!"

+Anna and Ben like to play golf with their dad. They have a big bag with many sticks and balls. Dad shows them how to hit the ball with the stick. He says, "You have to set the ball on the ground and swing the stick high and fast."
+
+Anna tries first. She sets the ball on the ground and swings the stick high and fast. But she misses the ball. She tries again and again, but she cannot hit the ball. She feels sad and says, "I can't do it, dad. It's too hard."
+
+Dad hugs her and says, "Don't give up, Anna. You can do it. You just need to practice more. Watch how Ben does it."
+
+Ben sets the ball on the ground and swings the stick high and fast. He hits the ball and it flies far away. He smiles and says, "Look, dad. I did it. I hit the ball."
+
+Dad claps and says, "Good job, Ben. You did it. You hit the ball. You are a good golfer."

+
+One day, they find a big log in the pond. It is brown and long. They think it is a good place to sit and rest. They swim to the log and climb on it.
+
+"Look, Lily, I can dive from the log!" Ben says. He jumps off the log and goes under the water. He makes bubbles with his mouth. He feels happy.

+
+"Come on, Lily, it is fun!" Ben says. He comes up from the water and shakes his head. He smiles at Lily.
+
+"I don't want to dive, Ben. I am scared," Lily says. She looks down at the water. She hugs her knees.
+
+Ben swims to the log. He climbs on it and sits next to Lily. He puts his arm around her.
+
+"It is okay, Lily. You don't have to dive if you don't want to. We can do something else. We can sing a song, or play a game, or look for shells. What do you want to do?" Ben says.
+
+Lily looks at Ben. She sees his kind eyes and his wet hair. She feels a little better. She smiles at Ben.
+
+"Thank you, Ben. You are a good friend. I want to sing a song with you. Can we sing the frog song?" Lily says.
+
+Ben nods. He likes the frog song. He and Lily start to sing. They sing about frogs and flies and ponds and logs. They sing loud and happy. They forget about diving. They have fun on the log.
+Ben and Lily were playing outside with their toy vehicles. They had a car, a truck, a bus and a bike. They liked to make them go fast and make noises. They also liked to make them dirty with mud and sand.
+
+"Look, my car is so dirty!" Ben said, showing Lily his brown car. "It needs a wash."
+
+"My truck is dirtier!" Lily said, holding up her truck covered in sand. "It needs a wash too."
+
+They looked around for a place to wash their vehicles. They saw a big puddle near the fence. They ran to the puddle with their vehicles and started to splash them in the water.
+
+"Yay, this is fun!" Ben said, as he saw his car become clean and shiny.
+
+"Yay, me too!" Lily said, as she watched her truck lose its sand.
+
+They were having so much fun that they did not notice the dark clouds in the sky. Suddenly, it started to rain. Big drops of water fell on their heads and their clothes. They looked up and saw the rain.
+
+"Oh no, it's raining!" Ben said, feeling wet and cold.
+
+"Oh no, let's go inside!" Lily said, grabbing her truck.
+
+They picked up their other vehicles and ran to the house. They left the puddle behind, full of water and mud.
+
+They got inside and dried themselves with towels. They put their vehicles on the floor and looked at them. They were still clean and shiny from the puddle.
+
+"Wow, the rain did not make them dirty again!" Ben said, smiling.
+
+"Wow, they look so nice!" Lily said, admiring them.
+
+They decided to play with their vehicles inside, where it was warm and dry. They were happy that the rain did not ruin their fun. They liked their clean vehicles.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park with their dog, Spot. Spot was a good and obedient dog. He always listened to Lily and Ben and did what they said. Lily and Ben liked to teach Spot new tricks, like sit, roll, and fetch.
+
+One day, they wanted to teach Spot how to bow. They showed him how to bend his front legs and lower his head, like they did when they said hello to someone. They said, "Bow, Spot, bow!" and gave him a treat when he did it. Spot was happy and wagged his tail.
+
+"Look, Mom, look!" Lily called to their mom, who was sitting on a bench nearby. "Spot can bow!"
+
+"That's very clever, Lily," Mom said. "Can you show me again?"
+
+Lily and Ben nodded and said, "Bow, Spot, bow!" Spot bowed again and got another treat.
+
+But then, something caught Spot's attention. He saw a squirrel running across the grass. Spot loved to chase squirrels. He forgot about the treat and the trick and ran after the squirrel, barking loudly.
+
+"Spot, no, come back!" Lily and Ben shouted. They ran after him, but he was too fast. Mom got up and followed them, worried.
+
+The squirrel ran up a tree and escaped. Spot stopped and looked around, confused. He had lost sight of Lily, Ben, and Mom. He felt scared and alone. He wished he had stayed with them and obeyed them.
+
+Then, he heard a familiar voice. It was Lily, calling his name. He turned and saw her and Ben running towards him. He was so happy to see them. He ran to them and licked their faces.
+
+"Spot, you naughty dog!" Lily said. "You scared us! Don't run away like that!"
+
+"Sorry, Lily," Spot said in his dog way. "I love you."
+
+"We love you too, Spot," Ben said. "But you have to listen to us. We know what's best for you."
+
+"OK, Ben," Spot said. "I will try to be more obedient."
+
+Mom came and hugged them all. She was glad they were safe. She said, "You did a good job teaching Spot how to bow. But maybe you should also teach him how to stay."
+
+Lily and Ben agreed. They said, "Stay, Spot, stay!" and gave him a treat. Spot stayed and got a treat. He learned a new trick and a new lesson. He was a good and obedient dog. He bowed his head and wagged his tail.
+Anna and Ben love to go to the park with Mom. They like to play on the swings, slide down the slide, and run on the grass. But their favorite thing is to feed the ducks. Mom always brings a big bag of popcorn for them to share.
+
+One sunny day, they went to the park and saw many ducks on the pond. Anna and Ben ran to the edge and threw some popcorn to the ducks. The ducks were happy and came closer to get the food. They quacked and splashed in the water. Anna and Ben laughed and threw more popcorn.
+
+But one duck was not obedient. He wanted all the popcorn for himself. He chased away the other ducks and tried to grab the bag from Mom. Mom said, "No, no, duck. You have to share. There is enough for everyone." But the duck did not listen. He bit the bag and tore it open. Popcorn flew everywhere.
+
+Anna and Ben were surprised and scared. The duck was greedy and rude. They hid behind Mom and watched the duck eat all the popcorn. The other ducks were sad and hungry. They went away to find another pond.
+
+Mom said, "Let's go, Anna and Ben. We have no more popcorn for the ducks. Maybe next time we will find nicer ducks to feed." Anna and Ben nodded and followed Mom. They learned a lesson. They did not want to be like the bad duck. They wanted to be obedient and share.
+Mia and Leo were playing in the garden. They liked to look for bugs and flowers. Mia saw a furry caterpillar on a leaf. She picked it up and showed it to Leo.
+
+"Look, Leo, a caterpillar! It is soft and furry. Do you want to touch it?" Mia asked.
+
+Leo nodded and reached out his hand. He touched the caterpillar gently. It tickled his finger. He giggled.
+
+"It is funny. How long is it?" Leo wondered.
+
+Mia looked at the caterpillar. She put it next to a ruler. She counted the inches.
+
+"It is four inches long. That is big for a caterpillar. Maybe it will turn into a butterfly soon," Mia said.
+
+She put the caterpillar back on the leaf. She and Leo watched it crawl away.
+
+"Bye, caterpillar. Have a nice day. Maybe we will see you again when you are a butterfly," Mia said.
+
+Leo waved his hand. He smiled.
+
+"Bye, caterpillar. You are a good friend. Thank you for letting us touch you," Leo said.
+
+They lay down on the grass and looked at the sky. They saw some clouds and birds. They wondered if the caterpillar would fly like them one day. They felt happy and sleepy. They closed their eyes and dreamed of furry caterpillars and colorful butterflies.
+Lila was a gifted girl who loved to spin. She could spin on one foot, on her toes, or with her arms out. She liked to spin in the sun, in the rain, or in the snow. She spun so fast that sometimes she felt dizzy, but she always laughed.
+
+One day, she saw a hut in the woods. It was small and brown, with a door and a window. She wondered who lived there. She knocked on the door, but no one answered. She peeked through the window, but it was dark inside. She decided to go in and look around.
+
+She opened the door and saw a big room with a bed, a table, and a chair. On the table, there was a basket with some bread, cheese, and fruit. On the bed, there was a blanket with some flowers and stars. Lila thought it was a cozy hut. She felt hungry, so she took a bite of the bread. She felt sleepy, so she lay down on the bed. She felt happy, so she smiled.
+
+She did not hear the footsteps outside, or the voice that said, "Who is in my hut?" She did not see the face that looked through the window, or the hand that opened the door. She did not know that the hut belonged to a bear, who was not happy to find a stranger in his home.
+
+He roared, "Who are you? What are you doing here? This is my hut, my bread, my bed!" He was angry and scared Lila. She jumped up and ran to the door. She saw the bear and screamed, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I did not know! Please don't hurt me!"
+
+She ran out of the hut and into the woods. She ran as fast as she could, until she reached her home. She hugged her mom and dad and told them what happened. They were glad that she was safe, but they also told her not to go into other people's huts without asking. Lila said she was sorry and that she learned her lesson. She also said she still liked to spin, but not in the woods. She spun in her yard, where she was safe and happy.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the living room. They had a lot of toys, but they were bored. They wanted to do something new and fun.
+
+"Look, there is a big box!" Lily said. She pointed to a cardboard box in the corner. "Maybe we can find something inside."
+
+Tom and Lily ran to the box and opened it. They saw a lot of round things with holes in the middle. They were different colors and sizes.
+
+"What are these?" Tom asked.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe they are plates or wheels," Lily said.
+
+They took out some of the round things and tried to use them as plates and wheels, but they did not work very well. They were too thin and slippery.
+
+"These are boring," Tom said. He threw one of the round things on the floor.
+
+"Wait, I have an idea!" Lily said. She picked up a small black thing that looked like a phone. It had a button and a wire. "Maybe this is a magic thing. Maybe we can record our voices with it."
+
+"Record? What does that mean?" Tom asked.
+
+"It means we can make our voices stay in the thing. Then we can listen to them later," Lily said.
+
+"Wow, that sounds fun! How do we do it?" Tom asked.
+
+Lily pressed the button and spoke into the thing. "Hello, this is Lily. I am playing with Tom. We are having fun with the magic thing."
+
+Then she pressed the button again and gave the thing to Tom. "Now you try it," she said.
+
+Tom took the thing and pressed the button. "Hello, this is Tom. I like the magic thing. It is better than the boring round things."
+
+Then he pressed the button again and gave the thing back to Lily. "Now what?" he asked.
+
+"Now we can listen to what we said. We just have to plug the wire into the big thing over there," Lily said. She pointed to a big black thing with buttons and speakers. It was on a shelf next to a stack of books.
+
+Lily and Tom plugged the wire into the big thing and pressed a button. They heard their voices coming out of the speakers.
+
+"Hello, this is Lily. I am playing with Tom. We are having fun with the magic thing."
+
+"Hello, this is Tom. I like the magic thing. It is better than the boring round things."
+
+They laughed and clapped their hands. They liked hearing their voices. They decided to record more things and listen to them. They had a lot of fun with the magic thing. They forgot about the boring round things. They were not bored anymore.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the garden. They see many flowers. Some are red, some are blue, some are pink. Lily likes the yellow flowers best. She says, "Look, Ben, the yellow flowers are so pretty. They bloom in the sun. They make me happy."
+
+Ben nods. He likes the yellow flowers too. He says, "Can we pick some? We can make a gift for Mom. She will like the yellow flowers too." Lily agrees. They pick some yellow flowers. They are careful not to hurt them. They find a pot in the shed. They fill it with dirt. They plant the yellow flowers in the pot. They water them with a can.
+
+They carry the pot to the house. They knock on the door. Mom opens the door. She sees Lily and Ben. She sees the pot with the yellow flowers. She smiles. She says, "What a lovely surprise! Thank you, Lily and Ben. You are so sweet. The yellow flowers are beautiful. They bloom in the pot. They make me happy too." She hugs them and kisses them. She puts the pot on the table. Lily and Ben are happy. They made Mom happy with the yellow flowers.
+Sara and Ben like to play with tubes. They have many tubes of different colors and sizes. They use the tubes to make tunnels, bridges, and towers. Sometimes they pretend the tubes are rockets, snakes, or flutes.
+
+One day, Sara and Ben find a big clear tube in the garage. It is longer and wider than their other tubes. They wonder what they can do with it.
+
+"Let's make a slide!" Sara says. "We can put one end on the sofa and the other end on the floor."
+
+"Good idea!" Ben says. "But how can we make it stay on the sofa? It is too heavy and slippery."
+
+They try to balance the tube on the sofa, but it falls off. They try to tie it with a rope, but it breaks. They try to stick it with tape, but it comes off.
+
+They are about to give up, when Sara has an idea.
+
+"I know!" she says. "We can use pillows! We can put some pillows under the tube on the sofa, and some pillows around the tube on the floor. Then it will not move or hurt us."
+
+They run to their bedroom and bring back some pillows. They arrange them under and around the tube. They test the slide by pushing a ball through it. The ball rolls down the tube and lands on the pillows.
+
+"It works!" Ben says. "Let's try it!"
+
+Sara and Ben take turns sliding down the tube. They laugh and scream as they feel the air and the speed. They manage to have a lot of fun with the clear tube. They are happy they did not give up.
+Lily likes to watch cartoons on TV. She likes the funny animals and the songs. Sometimes she laughs so loud that Mommy tells her to be quiet. Lily does not like to be quiet. She likes to have fun.
+
+One day, Lily sees a new cartoon on TV. It is about a bird that can fly very high. The bird has big wings and bright colors. Lily thinks the bird is pretty. She wants to fly like the bird. She thinks flying is fun.
+
+She runs to her room and gets a scarf. She ties the scarf around her neck like a cape. She thinks the scarf is her wings. She runs back to the living room and stands on the couch. She looks at the TV and sees the bird flying high. She says, "I can fly too!"
+
+She jumps from the couch and tries to flap her scarf. But she does not fly. She falls on the floor. She hurts her knee. She cries. Mommy hears her cry and comes to see what is wrong. She sees Lily on the floor with the scarf and the TV.
+
+Mommy hugs Lily and says, "What are you doing, Lily? You can't fly like the bird. You are not a bird. You are a girl. Girls can't fly. They can walk and run and jump, but they can't fly."
+
+Lily stops crying and says, "But I want to fly, Mommy. Flying is fun. The bird is fun. Can I be a bird?"
+
+Mommy smiles and says, "No, Lily, you can't be a bird. But you can pretend to be a bird. You can make bird sounds and draw bird pictures and play bird games. But you have to be careful. You can't jump from high places. You can get hurt. Do you understand?"
+
+Lily nods and says, "Yes, Mommy, I understand. I will be careful. I will pretend to be a bird, but I will not jump from high places. Can I watch the cartoon again?"
+
+Mommy says, "Yes, Lily, you can watch the cartoon again. But first, let me put a band-aid on your knee. And then, let's have a snack. Do you want some crackers and juice?"
+
+Lily says, "Yes, Mommy, I want some crackers and juice. And I want to watch the cartoon. And I want to be a bird. But a careful bird."
+
+Mommy says, "OK, Lily, you can be a careful bird. And I love you, no matter what you are."
+
+Lily says, "I love you too, Mommy. You are the best Mommy in the world."
+
+They hug and kiss and go to the kitchen. They have some crackers and juice and watch the cartoon. Lily makes bird sounds and flaps her scarf. Mommy laughs and joins her. They have fun.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They are three years old. They like to play with their toys and talk to each other. Sometimes they talk about things they see or hear. Sometimes they talk about things they imagine.
+
+One day, they hear their mom and dad talk about university. They do not know what university is. They think it is a weird word. They ask their mom and dad.
+
+"Mom, dad, what is university?" Anna says.
+
+"University is a big place where people go to learn new things," mom says.
+
+"Like school?" Ben says.
+
+"Yes, like school, but for older people," dad says.
+
+"Can we go to university?" Anna says.
+
+"Maybe when you grow up, if you want to," mom says.
+
+"What do you learn at university?" Ben says.
+
+"Different things, depending on what you like. For example, I learned about animals and plants at university. That is why I am a vet," dad says.
+
+"And I learned about numbers and shapes at university. That is why I am a math teacher," mom says.
+
+Anna and Ben think about what they like. They like different things.
+
+"I want to learn about stars and planets at university. They are shiny and big," Anna says.
+
+"I want to learn about cars and trucks at university. They are fast and loud," Ben says.
+
+Mom and dad smile. They are proud of their twins. They hug them and say,
+
+"You can learn about anything you want at university. But first, you have to finish preschool and school. And have fun and be kind."
+
+Anna and Ben nod. They are happy. They go back to play with their toys and talk to each other. They talk about stars and planets, cars and trucks, and other things they like. They also talk about university. They think it is a weird word, but also a good word.
+Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a shiny thing in the grass. It is a gem. It is blue and sparkly.
+
+"Wow, look at this!" Tom says. He picks up the gem and shows it to Lily.
+
+"It is so pretty!" Lily says. She wants to touch the gem too. "Can I hold it?"
+
+"Okay, but be careful. It is my gem. I found it first." Tom says. He gives the gem to Lily.
+
+Lily holds the gem in her hand. She feels happy. She thinks the gem is original. She has never seen anything like it.
+
+"Can I keep it?" Lily asks. She looks at Tom with big eyes.
+
+Tom feels sad. He likes the gem too. He wants to keep it. But he also likes Lily. He does not want to make her sad.
+
+"Um, I don't know. Maybe we can share it?" Tom says. He hopes Lily will agree.
+
+Lily thinks for a moment. She likes Tom too. He is her friend. She does not want to make him sad.
+
+"Okay, we can share it. We can take turns to hold it." Lily says. She smiles at Tom.
+
+Tom smiles back. He feels happy. He thinks Lily is nice. He is glad they are friends.
+
+They put the gem in Tom's pocket. They hold hands and jog to the swings. They play and laugh. They have fun with the gem and with each other.
+Lily and Ben are playing with their toys in the living room. Lily likes to be organized. She puts all her dolls in a row and gives them names. Ben likes to be messy. He throws his cars and trucks all over the floor and makes loud noises.
+
+"Ben, can you please play nicely?" Lily asks. "You are making a big mess and hurting my ears."
+
+Ben does not answer. He keeps throwing his toys and making noises. Lily gets angry. She stands up and walks to Ben. She wants to tell him to stop.
+
+But Ben does not see Lily. He is too busy playing. He throws a big truck in the air. The truck falls down and hits Lily's knee. Lily cries out in pain.
+
+"Ow! Ow! Ow! Ben, you hurt me!" Lily says. She holds her knee and tears run down her face.
+
+Ben stops playing. He looks at Lily and feels sorry. He did not mean to hurt her. He runs to Lily and hugs her.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily. I'm sorry. Are you okay?" Ben says.
+
+Lily looks at Ben and sees that he is sorry. She stops crying and hugs him back.
+
+"I'm okay, Ben. But you have to be careful. You can't throw your toys like that. You can hurt yourself or someone else." Lily says.
+
+Ben nods. He understands. He says he will be more careful. He helps Lily to sit down and get a band-aid for her knee. He also helps her to clean up the mess. He puts his toys in a box and says sorry to the dolls.
+
+Lily smiles. She thanks Ben for helping her. She says she still likes to play with him. She asks him if he wants to play a game with the dolls.
+
+Ben says yes. He says he likes to play with Lily. He says he will be nice to the dolls. He picks one and gives it a name.
+
+Lily and Ben play together. They are happy. They are friends.
+Sam and Mia were twins who liked to bake with Mom. They helped her make cookies and cakes and pies. They liked to eat the dough and lick the spoons. They also liked to play with the shapes and colors of the frosting.
+
+One day, Mom said they could bake a plane cake for Dad's birthday. He loved planes and flew them for work. Sam and Mia were very excited. They wanted to make the best plane cake ever. They helped Mom mix the batter and pour it into a big pan. Then they put it in the oven and waited.
+
+While the cake was baking, Sam and Mia started to decorate it. They had blue and white and red frosting and sprinkles and candies. They also had a toy plane that looked like Dad's. They wanted to put it on top of the cake. But they had a problem. They both wanted to hold the toy plane and put it on the cake. They started to fight over it.
+
+"Give me the plane! I want to do it!" Sam said.
+
+"No, it's mine! I want to do it!" Mia said.
+
+They pulled and tugged and shouted. The toy plane flew out of their hands and landed on the floor. It broke into pieces. Sam and Mia stopped fighting and looked at the broken plane. They felt very sad and sorry.
+
+Mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw the broken plane and the sad twins. She hugged them and said, "It's OK, my loves. Accidents happen. We can fix the plane with some glue and tape. And we can still make a beautiful cake for Dad. He will love it no matter what. The most important thing is that you love each other and share. Can you do that?"
+
+Sam and Mia nodded and said, "Yes, Mom. We're sorry. We love you and Dad and each other. We want to share and help."
+
+Mom smiled and said, "That's good. Now let's finish the cake. It smells mild and yummy. I think it's ready to come out of the oven." She took the cake out and let it cool. Then she helped Sam and Mia frost it and decorate it with the fixed plane and the other goodies. They made a big happy face on the cake and wrote, "Happy Birthday, Dad!"
+
+When Dad came home, he was very surprised and happy to see the plane cake. He hugged and kissed Mom and the twins and said, "Thank you, my loves. This is the best birthday gift ever. You are the best family ever. I love you all so much."
+
+They all smiled and said, "We love you too, Dad." Then they cut the cake and ate it. It was delicious. They had a fun and sweet birthday party. They were very happy.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a large pit in the ground. They wonder what is inside.
+
+"Let's go and look," Lily says.
+
+"OK, but be careful," Ben says.
+
+They walk to the pit and look down. They see many things: rocks, sticks, dirt, and bugs. They also see something shiny.
+
+"What is that?" Lily asks.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe a coin or a ring," Ben says.
+
+They want to get the shiny thing. They find a long stick and try to reach it. But the stick is too short. They need a longer stick.
+
+"Maybe we can find one over there," Lily says, pointing to a pile of wood.
+
+"Good idea. Let's go," Ben says.
+
+They run to the pile of wood and look for a long stick. They see many sticks, but they are all too short or too thin. They need a strong and long stick.
+
+"Maybe we can unite two sticks," Lily says.
+
+"Unite? What does that mean?" Ben asks.
+
+"It means to make two things one. Like this," Lily says, holding two sticks together.
+
+"Oh, I see. How do we do that?" Ben asks.
+
+"We need something to tie them. Like a string or a rope," Lily says.
+
+They look around and see a rope hanging from a tree. They run to the rope and pull it down. They use the rope to unite two sticks. They make a long and strong stick.
+
+"Wow, you are smart, Lily," Ben says.
+
+"Thank you, Ben. You are brave," Lily says.
+
+They go back to the pit and use the long stick to get the shiny thing. They pull it up and see that it is a medal. It has a star and a ribbon.
+
+"Wow, it is beautiful," Lily says.
+
+"Maybe it belongs to someone. Maybe a hero," Ben says.
+
+They decide to keep the medal and share it. They are happy. They are friends. They unite.
+Lily was very happy. It was her birthday and she had a big cake with candles. She also had many gifts from her friends and family. She opened them one by one and said thank you.
+
+She opened the last gift and saw a big teddy bear. She loved teddy bears and hugged it. She looked at the card and saw it was from her cousin Ben. She smiled and said, "Thank you, Ben. You are very generous. I like your gift a lot."
+
+Ben was happy too. He had saved his money to buy the teddy bear for Lily. He wanted to make her happy. He said, "You're welcome, Lily. I'm glad you like it. Can I play with you and the teddy bear?"
+
+Lily nodded and said, "Yes, of course. Let's go to my room and have a tea party with the teddy bear."
+
+They went to Lily's room and set up a table with cups and plates. They pretended to pour tea and eat cake. They also gave some to the teddy bear. They had a lot of fun.
+
+But then, Lily's brother Tom came in. He saw the teddy bear and laughed. He said, "That's a baby toy. You are too old for teddy bears. You should play with something else. You are embarrassing yourself."
+
+Lily felt sad and angry. She said, "No, I'm not. I like teddy bears. They are soft and cuddly. And Ben gave it to me. He is very nice. You are mean and rude. Go away."
+
+Ben felt sad and angry too. He said, "Yeah, go away. You don't know anything. Teddy bears are cool and fun. You are just jealous because you don't have one."
+
+Tom felt hurt and annoyed. He said, "No, I'm not. I have better toys than you. I don't need a teddy bear. You are both silly and childish. I'm leaving."
+
+He left the room and slammed the door. Lily and Ben looked at each other and hugged the teddy bear. They said, "We don't care what he says. We like teddy bears and we like each other. We are good friends."
+
+They smiled and continued to play with the teddy bear. They had a happy birthday.
+Lily loved to watch the dolphins at the zoo. They were big and gray and had funny noses. They could jump and splash and make noises. Lily wanted to be friends with them.
+
+One day, Lily went to the zoo with her mom and dad. They bought some fish to feed the dolphins. Lily was very excited. She held a fish in her hand and waited for a dolphin to come. She saw a dolphin with a pink spot on its head. It looked at her and smiled.
+
+"Hello, dolphin!" Lily said. "Do you want a fish?"
+
+The dolphin nodded and swam closer. Lily threw the fish in the air. The dolphin leaped out of the water and caught the fish in its mouth. It was so fast and graceful. Lily clapped and laughed.
+
+"Wow, you can soar!" Lily said. "Can you do it again?"
+
+The dolphin nodded and swam back. Lily threw another fish in the air. The dolphin jumped again, but this time, it missed the fish. The fish landed on Lily's head. Lily felt something wet and slimy on her hair. She screamed and dropped the fish. The dolphin looked embarrassed. It made a sorry noise and hid behind a rock.
+
+Lily's mom and dad came to help her. They took the fish off her head and wiped her hair with a towel. They told her it was okay and that the dolphin didn't mean to do that. They said the dolphin was just having fun and wanted to play with her.
+
+Lily felt better. She looked at the dolphin and smiled. She said, "It's okay, dolphin. I still like you. You are very good at soaring. Maybe next time, you can catch the fish better."
+
+The dolphin peeked out from behind the rock. It smiled and made a happy noise. It came closer and gave Lily a gentle nudge with its nose. Lily giggled and petted the dolphin. They became friends.
+Tom and Mia were playing in the park. They saw a big statue of an angel. The angel had wings and a smile. Tom and Mia liked the angel.
+
+"Can we touch the angel?" Mia asked.
+
+"OK, but be careful," Tom said.
+
+They ran to the statue and touched the angel's wings. They felt soft and smooth. They touched the angel's face. It felt cold and hard.
+
+Tom wanted to have more fun. He saw the angel's nose. He poked it with his finger.
+
+"Boop!" he said.
+
+Mia laughed. She poked the angel's nose too.
+
+"Boop!" she said.
+
+But the angel did not like it. The angel was bad. The angel opened its eyes. They were red and angry. The angel opened its mouth. It had sharp teeth and a loud roar.
+
+"Stop poking me!" the angel shouted.
+
+Tom and Mia were scared. They let go of the angel's nose. They ran away from the statue.
+
+"Help!" they cried.
+
+A nice lady saw them. She came to them and hugged them.
+
+"What's wrong, children?" she asked.
+
+"The angel is bad! The angel yelled at us!" Tom and Mia said.
+
+The lady looked at the statue. She saw the angel's eyes and mouth. She was surprised.
+
+"That's not an angel, children. That's a gargoyle. It's a stone monster that scares away birds and evil spirits. It's not real. It's just a trick."
+
+"A trick?" Tom and Mia asked.
+
+"Yes, a trick. Someone put a speaker and a switch inside the statue. When you poke the nose, it turns on the speaker and the switch. It makes the gargoyle look alive and sound scary. But it's not. It's just a joke."
+
+"A joke?" Tom and Mia asked.
+
+"Yes, a joke. A bad joke. Someone wanted to frighten you and make you laugh. But it was not funny. It was mean. I'm sorry you were scared. Do you want to see how it works?"
+
+Tom and Mia nodded. They were curious. The lady took them to the back of the statue. She showed them the speaker and the switch. She turned them off and on. The gargoyle's eyes and mouth opened and closed. The gargoyle's roar came and went.
+
+"See? It's just a machine. It can't hurt you. It can't do anything. It's just a silly gargoyle."
+
+Tom and Mia understood. They felt better. They smiled.
+
+"Thank you, lady. You are nice. You are like a real angel," they said.
+
+The lady smiled too. She hugged them again.
+
+"You're welcome, children. You are sweet. You are like little angels too," she said.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They had a big hose with a spray tip. They liked to make water rainbows in the sun.
+
+"Look, Lily, I can make the hose bend!" Ben said. He was very strong and flexible. He twisted the hose and made it curve.
+
+"Wow, Ben, that's cool!" Lily said. She wanted to try too. She took the hose from Ben and pulled it. But she was not as strong and flexible as Ben. The hose was too hard for her.
+
+"Ouch, Lily, you're hurting the hose!" Ben said. He tried to get the hose back from Lily. But Lily did not want to give it up. She pulled harder.
+
+"Let go, Ben, it's my turn!" Lily said. She pulled so hard that the spray tip came off. Water squirted everywhere. Lily and Ben got wet and so did the flowers and the grass.
+
+"Uh-oh, Lily, you broke the hose!" Ben said. He was not happy. He liked the spray tip.
+
+"I'm sorry, Ben, I didn't mean to!" Lily said. She was sad. She liked the water rainbows.
+
+They heard their mom calling them. "Lily, Ben, what are you doing? Come inside, it's time for lunch!"
+
+They ran to their mom. They were wet and muddy. Their mom looked at them and shook her head.
+
+"What happened to the hose?" she asked.
+
+Lily and Ben looked at each other. They did not know what to say. They hoped their mom would not be mad. They hoped they could play with the hose again. They hoped they could fix the spray tip.
+Ben and Lily were having lunch with their mom and dad at a nice restaurant. They liked the food, but they had to be quiet and polite. Mom and dad told them to use their napkins and not to spill anything.
+
+Ben wanted to make Lily laugh, so he took his napkin and put it on his head like a hat. He made a funny face and said, "Look at me, I'm a napkin-head!" Lily giggled, but mom and dad did not think it was funny. They looked angry and embarrassed.
+
+"Ben, that's not how we use napkins. Take it off your head and say sorry," mom said.
+
+"But mom, I was just joking," Ben said.
+
+"It's not a joke, it's rude. You're making a mess and bothering the other people here. Say sorry, now," dad said.
+
+Ben felt bad and took the napkin off his head. He said sorry to mom and dad and to the waiter who came to their table. He wished he had not done that. He wanted to make Lily laugh, but he did not want to make mom and dad angry and embarrassed. He learned his lesson and did not do it again.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the yard when they saw a big bird with a red thing on its head. It was a turkey. The turkey was looking for food and it saw some corn on the ground. It walked over to the corn and started to eat.
+
+"Wow, look at that bird!" Lily said. "It is so big and funny!"
+
+"Let's go and say hello to it," Ben said. "Maybe it wants to be our friend."
+
+They ran over to the turkey and tried to pet it. The turkey did not like that. It made a loud noise and flapped its wings. It scared Lily and Ben.
+
+"Go away, go away!" the turkey said. "This is my corn, not yours!"
+
+Lily and Ben were sad. They wanted to play with the turkey, not make it angry.
+
+"Sorry, Mr. Turkey," Lily said. "We just wanted to be nice to you."
+
+"Can we share your corn?" Ben asked. "We are hungry too."
+
+The turkey thought for a moment. It saw that Lily and Ben were not bad. They were just curious. It decided to be kind.
+
+"Okay, okay," the turkey said. "You can have some of my corn. But you have to follow me. I know a place where there is more corn and other good things."
+
+"Really?" Lily and Ben said. "That sounds incredible!"
+
+The turkey nodded and started to walk. Lily and Ben followed it. They were happy. They had made a new friend. The turkey had learned to share. They were going to have a fun adventure.
+Sam and Mia like to play with tops. They have many tops of different colors and shapes. They spin them on the floor and watch them go round and round.
+
+One day, Sam finds a new top in his toy box. It is big and red and has a button on it. Sam is curious and presses the button. The top makes a loud noise and starts to spin very fast. It turns and turns and turns.
+
+"Wow, look at this top!" Sam says to Mia. "It is loud and fast. Do you want to try it?"
+
+Mia nods and takes the top from Sam. She presses the button and the top makes the loud noise again. She puts it on the floor and watches it spin. But the top is too fast and it bumps into a chair. The top falls over and stops.
+
+"Oh no, the top is broken!" Mia says. "I'm sorry, Sam. I didn't mean to break it."
+
+Sam is sad and angry. He likes his new top and he doesn't want it to be broken. He snatches the top from Mia and says, "You are bad, Mia. You broke my top. Go away. I don't want to play with you."
+
+Mia is sad and sorry. She likes Sam and she doesn't want him to be mad at her. She says, "I'm sorry, Sam. I didn't mean to break it. Please don't be mad at me. Can we still be friends?"
+
+Sam looks at Mia and sees that she is sad and sorry. He looks at his top and sees that it is not really broken. It just needs a new battery. He feels bad for being mean to Mia. He says, "I'm sorry, Mia. I was mean to you. You are not bad. You are my friend. Can we play together?"
+
+Mia smiles and hugs Sam. She says, "I'm happy, Sam. You are my friend. Can we play with the tops?"
+
+Sam smiles and hugs Mia. He says, "Yes, we can play with the tops. But let's be careful with the loud one. It is too fast."
+
+They take the tops and spin them on the floor. They watch them go round and round. They laugh and have fun. They are happy.
+Sam and Mia like to play on the beach. They dig in the sand and look for shells. One day, they find a big shell that is closed. Sam says, "What is inside?"
+
+Mia says, "Maybe it is an oyster. Oysters are animals that live in shells. They have pearls inside sometimes."
+
+Sam says, "Let's open it and see. Maybe we can find a pearl."
+
+They try to open the shell, but it is very hard. They pull and push, but it does not move. They use a stick, but it does not work. They use a rock, but it does not break. They are very tired and sad.
+
+Then, they see a man walking on the beach. He has a knife in his hand. He says, "Hello, kids. What are you doing?"
+
+Sam says, "We are trying to open this shell. We think it is an oyster. We want to see if it has a pearl."
+
+The man says, "That is a nice shell. But it is not easy to open an oyster. You need a special tool and a lot of skill. Do you want me to help you?"
+
+Sam and Mia say, "Yes, please. Thank you, mister."
+
+The man takes the shell and the knife. He finds a small gap in the shell and slides the knife in. He twists and pops the shell open. He shows Sam and Mia the inside. There is a shiny pearl in the middle.
+
+Sam and Mia say, "Wow! It is so pretty. Can we have it?"
+
+The man says, "Sure, you can have it. It is a lucky find. But be careful, it is very small. It can fit in your mouth, but you should not swallow it. It is not food. It is a treasure."
+
+Sam and Mia say, "Thank you, thank you, thank you. We will keep it safe. We will make a necklace with it. It is our best beach day ever."
+Lily liked to play with her mom's makeup. She thought it was fun to put on lipstick, eyeshadow and blush. She wanted to look like a princess. One day, she saw a shiny tube of lip gloss on the dresser. It was pink and sparkly. Lily wanted to try it.
+
+She opened the tube and squeezed some lip gloss on her finger. She rubbed it on her lips. It felt sticky and smooth. She looked in the mirror and smiled. She liked how she looked. Then she wondered how the lip gloss tasted. She licked her lips. It tasted sweet, like candy. She liked it. She squeezed more lip gloss on her finger and licked it. It was yummy.
+
+She did not hear her mom coming into the room. Her mom saw Lily with the lip gloss and gasped. "Lily, what are you doing?" she asked. "That's not for eating. That's for your lips. It's makeup, not food."
+
+Lily looked at her mom and felt scared. She did not know she was doing something wrong. She thought the lip gloss was like candy. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I like the lip gloss. It tastes sweet."
+
+Her mom sighed and hugged her. She said, "I know you like the lip gloss, but it's not good for you to eat it. It has chemicals that can make you sick. You can play with the makeup, but only on your face. And only with my permission. OK?"
+
+Lily nodded and said, "OK, mom. I'm sorry. I won't eat the lip gloss again. Can I still be a princess?"
+
+Her mom smiled and said, "Of course you can, sweetie. You're always my princess. But remember, being a princess is not about how you look. It's about how you act. You have to be kind, brave and honest. That's what makes you beautiful."
+
+Lily hugged her mom and said, "I love you, mom. You're the best."
+
+Her mom said, "I love you too, Lily. You're the best too."
+
+The moral of the story is: Don't eat makeup. It's not good for you. And being a princess is not about how you look. It's about how you act.
+Tim and Lily are friends. They like to play soccer at the park. They have a team with other kids. They wear red uniforms. The other team wears blue uniforms.

+Lily liked to play with her violin. She got it from her grandma, who said it was very old and special. Lily liked the sound it made when she moved the stick on the strings. She also liked how pretty it looked, with its shiny wood and curly shape.
+
+One day, Lily's friend Max came over to play. He saw the violin and wanted to try it. "Can I play with your violin?" he asked Lily. Lily was not sure. She liked Max, but she loved her violin. She did not want him to break it or lose it. She said, "No, Max, this is my violin. You can play with something else."
+
+Max was sad. He really wanted to play with the violin. He thought it looked fun and cool. He said, "Please, Lily, let me play with it. I will be careful. I just want to try it for a little bit." Lily looked at Max. She saw that he was not angry or mean. He was just curious and excited. She thought maybe she could share her violin with him. She said, "Okay, Max, you can play with it. But you have to be very gentle and listen to me. I will show you how to hold it and play it."
+
+Lily and Max sat on the floor and Lily gave Max the violin. She helped him put it under his chin and hold the stick. She showed him how to move the stick on the strings and make different sounds. Max was happy. He liked the sound he made with the violin. He said, "Thank you, Lily, for letting me play with your violin. It is very pretty and fun. You are a good friend."
+

She learned that sharing can be fun and make friends happy.
+Anna was very miserable. She did not want to go to the party. She wanted to stay at home and play with her toys. But her mom said she had to go. She said it was rude to say no to an invitation. She said Anna had to wear a nice dress and be polite.
+
+Anna hated the dress. It was pink and frilly and itchy. It made her feel like a doll. She did not like dolls. She liked cars and trains and dinosaurs. She wanted to wear her blue jeans and her red shirt. But her mom said no. She said the dress was beautiful and Anna was lucky to have it.
+
+Anna trembled as they got in the car. She was scared of the party. She did not know anyone there. She did not like loud noises and crowds. She did not like cake and candy. She liked bread and cheese and apples. She wished she could stay with her dad and her dog. But her dad said he had to work. He said he was sorry and he kissed her goodbye.
+
+Anna and her mom arrived at the party. There were many people there. They were all smiling and talking and laughing. They had balloons and streamers and hats. They had a big cake and a lot of candy. They looked happy. Anna did not feel happy. She felt miserable.
+
+"Hello, Anna!" said a girl. She was wearing a yellow dress and a bow in her hair. She had a big smile. "I'm Lily. I'm so glad you came to my party. Do you want to play with me?"
+
+Anna looked at Lily. She did not want to play with her. She did not want to play with anyone. She wanted to go home. She shook her head and said nothing.
+
+"Come on, Anna!" said Lily. "Don't be shy. We have a lot of fun games and toys. Look, there's a slide and a swing and a sandbox. And there's a puppet show and a clown and a magician. And there's a pony and a bunny and a kitten. You'll love them. Come on, Anna!"
+
+Anna looked at the slide and the swing and the sandbox. She looked at the puppet show and the clown and the magician. She looked at the pony and the bunny and the kitten. She did not love them. She did not like them. She hated them. She felt a tear roll down her cheek. She trembled and said nothing.
+Lily and Ben were friends. They liked to play with marbles. They had many marbles of different colors and sizes. They made a big circle on the floor and took turns to roll their marbles inside.
+
+One day, Lily found a very pretty marble. It was shiny and blue and had a star inside. She showed it to Ben and said, "Look at my new marble! It is the best marble ever!"
+
+Ben liked the marble too. He wanted to have it. He said, "Can I play with your marble, Lily? Please?"
+
+Lily said, "No, Ben. This is my marble. You have your own marbles. Go play with them."
+
+Ben felt sad and angry. He thought Lily was not a good friend. He said, "Fine, Lily. I don't want to play with you anymore. You are mean."
+
+He grabbed Lily's marble and ran away. Lily cried and chased him. She said, "Give me back my marble, Ben! That is not fair!"
+
+They ran around the room, bumping into things and making a lot of noise. Their mom heard them and came to see what was wrong. She saw them fighting over the marble and said, "Stop, children! What are you doing?"
+
+Lily and Ben told their mom what happened. Their mom said, "Lily, it is nice to share your things with your friends. Ben, it is wrong to take things that are not yours. You both need to say sorry and be kind to each other."
+
+Lily and Ben felt sorry for what they did. They said sorry and hugged each other. They gave back the marble and decided to play together again. They said, "We are friends. We don't want to fight. We want to have fun."
+
+Their mom smiled and said, "That's good, children. I'm proud of you. You are helpful and nice. Now, why don't you show me your marbles and tell me about them?"
+
+Lily and Ben showed their mom their marbles and told her about their colors and shapes. They hoped their mom would like their marbles too. They were happy and had a good time.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the living room. They liked to build towers with their blocks and knock them down. They also liked to look at the fireplace, where their dad sometimes made a fire when it was cold.
+
+But today, the fireplace was broken. Lily saw a big crack in the wall and some bricks on the floor. She was scared and ran to Tom. "Tom, look! The fireplace is broken! What happened?" she asked.
+
+Tom looked at the fireplace and frowned. He remembered that last night, there was a loud noise and a flash of light. He thought it was thunder, but maybe it was something else. He said, "I don't know, Lily. Maybe it was a big boom. Maybe it was a bad man. Maybe it was a monster."
+
+Lily and Tom hugged each other and started to cry. They wanted their dad to come home and fix the fireplace. They wanted to feel safe and warm again.
+
+Just then, they heard the door open and their dad's voice. "Hello, kids! I'm home! Sorry I'm late, there was a lot of traffic. What's wrong? Why are you crying?" he asked.
+
+Lily and Tom ran to their dad and told him about the broken fireplace. Their dad looked at the wall and sighed. He said, "Oh, no. That's not good. That's not a big boom, or a bad man, or a monster. That's a lightning strike. The storm last night was very strong and it hit the chimney. Don't worry, kids. I'll call someone to fix it. It's not dangerous, just ugly. Come on, let's go to the kitchen and have some cookies. How does that sound?"
+
+Lily and Tom nodded and smiled. They followed their dad to the kitchen and forgot about the broken fireplace. They were happy to have their dad home and to have some cookies. They hoped that tomorrow, the fireplace would be fixed and they could play in the living room again.
+Lily and Ben love to help their mom bake cookies. They put on their aprons and wash their hands. Mom gives them each a big bowl and a spoon. She says, "You can fill your bowls with flour, sugar, butter, and eggs. Then you can use the mixer to make the dough."
+
+Lily and Ben are very happy. They fill their bowls with the ingredients. They take turns using the mixer. It makes a loud noise and the dough becomes smooth and sticky. Mom says, "Good job! Now you can add some chocolate chips and raisins. Be generous, they are the best part!"
+
+Lily and Ben sprinkle the chocolate chips and raisins over the dough. They use their spoons to mix them in. They make sure to share them equally. They are generous with each other. Mom says, "You are very kind and sweet, just like your cookies. Now we can roll the dough into balls and put them on the baking sheet."
+
+Lily and Ben help mom roll the dough and place it on the sheet. They make twelve cookies, six for each of them. Mom puts the sheet in the oven and sets the timer. She says, "We have to wait for fifteen minutes until the cookies are done. Then we can enjoy them with some milk. Do you want to read a story while we wait?"
+
+Lily and Ben nod. They love stories. They go to the living room and pick a book from the shelf. Mom sits with them on the couch and reads the book aloud. They listen and look at the pictures. They smell the cookies baking in the oven. They are very excited. They can't wait to taste them. They are sure they will be delicious. They are proud of their baking. They hug mom and thank her for letting them help. Mom hugs them back and says, "You are very welcome. I love baking with you. You are my best helpers and my best friends."
+Lily and Ben are friends who like to play hockey. They have hockey sticks and a ball that they hit on the grass. Lily has a red stick and Ben has a blue stick. They have fun playing hockey together.
+
+One day, a new boy comes to the park. His name is Max and he has a shiny silver stick. He asks Lily and Ben if he can play hockey with them. They say yes and they share the ball. Max is very good at hockey. He can hit the ball very far and fast. He scores many goals.
+
+Lily and Ben are envious of Max's silver stick. They think it is better than their sticks. They want to have a silver stick too. They ask Max if they can try his stick. Max says no. He says it is his stick and he does not want to share it. He says he is the best at hockey and he does not need friends.
+
+Lily and Ben are sad and angry. They do not like Max. They think he is mean and selfish. They decide to stop playing hockey with him. They put their sticks and ball away and go to the swings. They have fun swinging and talking. They are happy to be friends.
+
+Max is left alone on the grass. He has his silver stick and the ball, but he has no one to play with. He feels lonely and bored. He looks at Lily and Ben on the swings. He wishes he had friends too. He realizes he was wrong to be mean and selfish. He wants to say sorry and ask if he can play with them. He picks up his stick and ball and walks towards them. He hopes they will forgive him and let him join them.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play pretend. They have a stage in the backyard. The stage is made of wood and cloth. But the stage is broken. Some wood is loose and some cloth is torn.
+
+Anna and Ben want to fix the stage. They gather some tools and some tape. They go to the stage and start to work. They hammer the wood and tape the cloth. They are careful not to hurt themselves.
+
+"Look, Ben, we fixed the stage!" Anna says. "Now we can play pretend again!"
+
+"Yes, Anna, we did a good job!" Ben says. "What do you want to pretend today?"
+

+
+"Arrr, matey, that sounds fun!" Ben says. "Let's go find some treasure!"

+Ben and Lily were playing in the kitchen. They saw a big jar of cookies on the shelf. They wanted to eat some cookies, but they were too high to reach.
+
+"Let's get a chair and climb up," Ben said.
+
+"OK," Lily said.
+
+They dragged a chair to the shelf and Ben climbed on it. He reached for the jar, but it was still too far. He stretched his arm and pointed at the jar.
+
+"Help me, Lily. Push the jar to me," he said.
+
+Lily climbed on the chair too and pushed the jar. But the jar was heavy and slippery. It fell off the shelf and broke on the floor. Cookies and glass were everywhere.
+
+"Oh no!" Ben and Lily said.
+
+They heard a loud noise from the living room. It was their dad. He was angry. He came to the kitchen and saw the mess.
+
+"What have you done?" he shouted. He had a scary face.
+
+Ben and Lily were scared. They ran to their mom, who was in the garden. They hugged her and told her what happened.
+
+"It's OK, sweeties. Accidents happen. But you should not play with the cookie jar. It's dangerous. And you should say sorry to dad. He was just worried about you," she said.
+
+She gave them a kiss and a hug. She took them back to the kitchen and helped them clean up. She also gave them each a cookie.
+
+"Thank you, mom. We're sorry, dad," Ben and Lily said.
+
+Dad smiled and hugged them too.
+
+"I'm sorry too. I was too loud. I love you, Ben and Lily. Next time, just ask me for a cookie, OK?" he said.
+
+They nodded and smiled. They ate their cookies and played together. They were happy.
+Lily was a gifted girl who liked to draw and sing. She had many books and toys in her room, but she was not happy. She was scared of the dark and the noises at night. She always slept with a light on and a teddy bear in her arms.
+
+One night, she heard a loud thump on the stair. She jumped out of her bed and ran to the door. She peeked out and saw a big shadow on the wall. She screamed and hid under her blanket.
+
+"Who's there?" she cried.
+
+"It's me, Lily. Don't be scared. It's your brother, Tom." A voice said.
+
+Lily lifted her blanket and saw Tom standing in the hallway. He was holding a big box with a bow on it.
+
+"What are you doing, Tom? You scared me!" Lily said.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily. I wanted to surprise you. I have a gift for you. It's a new doll. She can talk and sing and dance. Do you want to see her?" Tom said.
+
+Lily's eyes widened. She loved dolls. She forgot her fear and ran to Tom. She hugged him and thanked him.
+
+"Wow, Tom. You are the best brother ever. Can I open the box now?" Lily said.
+
+"Sure, Lily. But be careful. She's very special. She's a gifted doll." Tom said.
+
+Lily opened the box and saw a beautiful doll with long hair and a pink dress. She pressed a button on her back and the doll said, "Hello, Lily. I'm your new friend. Let's play together."
+
+Lily was amazed. She smiled and said, "Hello, doll. I'm Lily. You are my new friend. Let's play together."
+
+Tom smiled too. He was happy to see Lily happy. He turned off the light and said, "Good night, Lily. Good night, doll. Sleep well."
+
+Lily and the doll said, "Good night, Tom. Sleep well."
+
+Lily and the doll cuddled in the bed. They were not scared anymore. They had each other. They were gifted.
+Jill and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and hide behind the hedge. The hedge was big and green and had many birds and bugs in it. Jill and Tom liked to listen to the birds and look for the bugs.
+
+One day, it was very hot and sunny. Jill and Tom were thirsty and tired. They saw a hose near the hedge. They had an idea. They turned on the hose and sprayed water on each other. They laughed and screamed and got very wet. They also sprayed water on the hedge. The hedge got wet too. The birds and the bugs flew away.
+
+"Look, the hedge is soaking!" Jill said.
+
+"So are we!" Tom said.
+
+They heard a voice from the house. It was Mom. She was not happy.
+
+"Jill! Tom! What are you doing? You are making a mess! Come inside right now!" Mom said.
+
+Jill and Tom turned off the hose and ran to the house. They were dripping water everywhere. They were sorry for making Mom angry. But they also had a lot of fun. They smiled at each other. They were jolly.
+Sara and Tom were playing outside in the garden. They liked to run and jump and laugh. They did not like the mosquitoes that buzzed and bit them. They tried to swat them away, but there were too many.
+
+"Let's go inside," Sara said. "Mom will permit us to have a snack and watch TV."
+
+"OK," Tom said. "But first, let me get my ball. It is under the tree."
+
+Tom ran to the tree and reached for his ball. But he did not see the big spider that was on the branch. The spider saw Tom and jumped on his hand. Tom felt a sharp pain and screamed.
+
+Sara heard Tom scream and ran to him. She saw the spider and the ball and Tom's hand. She was frightened. She did not know what to do.
+
+"Help! Help!" Tom cried. "The spider bit me! It hurts!"
+
+Sara tried to pull the spider off, but it was too strong. She looked for help, but no one was there. Mom was inside, and Dad was at work. The neighbors were far away.
+
+The spider bit Tom again and again. Tom felt sick and dizzy. He fell to the ground and closed his eyes. Sara cried and cried. She wished they had gone inside sooner. She wished the mosquitoes had not bothered them. She wished the spider had not been there. She wished Tom would wake up. But he did not.

+
+"Let's go inside the tent!" Anna says.
+
+"OK, but be quiet. Maybe someone is sleeping in the tent," Ben says.
+
+They open the door and go inside the tent. It is dark and cozy. They see a pillow, a blanket and a book.
+
+"Look, a book! I like books. Can you read it to me?" Anna asks.
+
+Ben picks up the book. It has a picture of a princess and a prince on the cover. He opens the book and tries to read the words.
+
+"Once upon a time, there was a princess and a prince. They lived in a distant castle. They loved each other very much. One day, they decided to get married. They had a big party. Everyone was happy. The end," Ben reads.
+
+"That's a nice story. I want to be a princess. And you can be a prince," Anna says.
+
+She puts a flower in her hair and pretends to wear a dress. Ben pretends to wear a crown and a cape.

+
+"Can I kiss you?" Anna asks.
+

+
+They lean forward and kiss each other on the cheek. They giggle and hug.
+
+They are happy in the tent. They do not hear the sound of footsteps outside the door. They do not see the shadow of a man holding a leash. They do not know that the tent belongs to a dog walker who is looking for his dog. They do not know that the dog is inside the tent with them, hiding under the blanket. They do not know that the dog does not like strangers. They do not know that the dog is about to bark.
+Ben and Lily were twins who liked to paint. They had many colors and brushes and papers. They painted flowers and animals and houses and cars. Sometimes they painted on the wall, but Mommy and Daddy did not like that.
+
+One day, they saw a big white mailbox outside their house. It was very plain and boring. Ben and Lily had an idea. They wanted to paint the mailbox and make it pretty. They took their paints and brushes and ran outside.
+
+"Look, Lily, we can paint the mailbox red and blue and yellow and green!" Ben said.
+
+"Yes, Ben, and we can paint stars and hearts and rainbows and suns!" Lily said.
+
+They started to paint the mailbox with their colors. They painted all over it, making it bright and colorful. They were having fun and did not see Mommy and Daddy coming home.
+
+"Ben! Lily! What are you doing?" Mommy and Daddy shouted.
+
+Ben and Lily stopped painting and looked at Mommy and Daddy. They were angry and surprised. Ben and Lily felt scared and sorry.
+
+"We wanted to paint the mailbox and make it pretty," Ben said.
+
+"We did not mean to be bad," Lily said.
+
+Mommy and Daddy looked at the mailbox. It was very messy and different. But they also saw Ben and Lily's smiles and paintings. They saw how much they loved to paint and how they tried to be creative.
+
+Mommy and Daddy sighed and smiled. They hugged Ben and Lily and said, "We love you, Ben and Lily. You are very lucky to have each other and to have such a talent for painting. But next time, please ask us before you paint something that is not yours. And now, let's go inside and clean up."
+
+Ben and Lily nodded and said, "We love you, Mommy and Daddy. We are sorry for painting the mailbox. And we are lucky to have you and to have such a fun hobby."
+
+They went inside and cleaned up. They still liked to paint, but they learned to be more careful and respectful. And they always remembered their colorful mailbox and how it made them happy.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play in the bathroom. They have a purple ball that they throw to each other. Sometimes they balance the ball on their heads or noses.
+
+One day, they decide to play a new game. They want to see who can balance the ball on the toilet seat. They take turns to try. Anna goes first. She puts the ball on the toilet seat and tries to keep it there. She is very careful. She does not want the ball to fall in the water.
+
+"Look, Ben, I can do it!" she says.
+
+Ben claps his hands. He wants to try too. He takes the ball from Anna and puts it on the toilet seat. He is not very careful. He moves too fast. The ball rolls off the toilet seat and falls in the water.
+
+"Oh no, Ben, you dropped the ball!" Anna says.
+
+Ben is sad. He likes the purple ball. He does not want to lose it. He tries to reach the ball in the water. He puts his hand in the toilet. He feels something wet and slimy. He screams.
+
+"Mommy, mommy, help!" he cries.
+
+Mommy hears Ben's scream. She runs to the bathroom. She sees Ben with his hand in the toilet. She sees Anna with a worried face. She sees the purple ball in the water.
+
+"What are you doing, Ben?" she asks.
+
+"I was playing with the ball and it fell in the water and I tried to get it and I touched something gross!" Ben says.
+
+Mommy shakes her head. She is not happy. She takes Ben's hand out of the toilet. She washes it with soap and water. She takes the ball out of the water. She throws it in the trash.
+
+"You should not play with the ball in the bathroom. You should not put your hand in the toilet. You could get sick or hurt. You should be more careful," she says.
+
+Anna and Ben nod their heads. They are sorry. They hug Mommy. They say they will not play with the ball in the bathroom again. They say they will be more careful. Mommy smiles. She hugs them back. She says she loves them. She says they can play with another ball in the living room. Anna and Ben are happy. They run to the living room. They find a yellow ball. They play with it. They do not balance it on the toilet seat. They balance it on the couch. They have fun.
+Ben and Lily went to the pet shop with Mom. They wanted to see the animals. They saw furry cats, dogs, rabbits and hamsters. They also saw fish, birds, snakes and lizards.
+
+"Can we get a pet, Mom?" Ben asked.
+
+"Maybe, but you have to pay for it and take care of it," Mom said.
+
+Ben and Lily looked at the prices on the cages. Some were too high for them. They saw a small cage with a scale on it. Inside the cage was a furry guinea pig.
+
+"How much is this one, Mom?" Lily asked.
+
+Mom looked at the scale. It said five dollars.
+
+"That's not too much. Do you like the guinea pig?" Mom asked.
+
+"Yes, it's so cute and soft!" Lily said.
+
+"Me too!" Ben said.
+
+They asked the shopkeeper if they could hold the guinea pig. He said yes and gave them a glove. They took turns to pet the guinea pig. It made a squeaky noise.
+
+"We want this one, Mom!" Ben and Lily said.
+
+"Okay, let's pay for it and take it home," Mom said.
+
+They gave the shopkeeper five dollars and he gave them the cage, some food and a book about guinea pigs. They thanked him and went to the car.
+
+"What will you name the guinea pig?" Mom asked.
+
+"Fluffy!" Ben and Lily said.
+
+They were very happy with their new furry pet. They hugged Mom and said thank you. They couldn't wait to play with Fluffy at home.
+Tommy loved to make dough with his mom. He liked to roll it, cut it, and shape it into different things. He dreamed of making a big pizza with lots of cheese and sauce and pepperoni. He wanted to surprise his dad when he came home from work.
+
+But one day, when Tommy and his mom were making dough, his little sister Lily came into the kitchen. She wanted to play with the dough too. She grabbed some of it and threw it at Tommy. Tommy got angry and threw some back at her. Soon, they were both covered in dough and making a big mess.
+
+Their mom was not happy. She told them to stop and to clean up. She said they wasted the dough and they could not make pizza anymore. She said they had to eat soup for dinner instead. Tommy and Lily felt sad and sorry. They did not want to make their mom mad. They wanted to make their dad happy.
+
+They decided to work together and clean up the kitchen. They wiped the dough off the floor, the table, and themselves. They put the rest of the dough in a bowl and covered it with a cloth. They said sorry to their mom and gave her a hug. Their mom smiled and said she forgave them. She said they could still make pizza another day.
+
+When their dad came home, he saw the clean kitchen and the bowl of dough. He asked what they were doing. Tommy and Lily told him they were making dough for pizza, but they had a fight and made a mess. They said they cleaned up and they were sorry. Their dad hugged them and said he was proud of them. He said they did a good thing by saying sorry and working together. He said he loved them and their mom very much. He said he did not mind eating soup for dinner, as long as they ate it with him. Tommy and Lily smiled and said they loved him too. They were happy and hungry. They dreamed of making pizza another day.
+Tom likes to help his mom in the kitchen. He likes to bring her things that she needs, like eggs, milk, and flour. He also likes to watch her use the scale to measure how much of each thing she puts in the bowl. He thinks the scale is fun, because it has numbers and a pointer that moves.
+
+One day, mom is making a spicy soup for dad. She tells Tom to bring her some peppers from the garden. Tom runs outside and picks some red and green peppers. He thinks they look pretty and shiny. He brings them to mom and puts them on the table.
+
+Mom cuts the peppers and puts them in the pot with water and other things. She tells Tom to be careful, because the peppers are spicy and can make his mouth hurt. Tom is curious and wants to try one. He picks up a small piece of red pepper and puts it in his mouth.
+
+Tom feels a fire in his mouth. He spits out the pepper and cries. His tongue and lips are burning. He runs to the sink and drinks some water, but it does not help. Mom hears him and comes to see what is wrong. She sees the pepper on the floor and understands. She hugs Tom and gives him some milk to drink. She says she is sorry and that he should not eat spicy things. She says the soup is only for dad, who likes spicy things. She says she will make something else for Tom, something sweet and yummy. Tom feels better and smiles. He says he loves mom and he loves milk. He says he does not love peppers. He says he will only bring mom things that are not spicy. Mom laughs and kisses him. She says she loves him too.
+Lily and Tom were twins who loved horses. They lived on a farm with their mom and dad, who had many animals. Every day, they helped feed the chickens, the cows, the pigs and the horses.
+
+One day, Lily and Tom saw a new horse in the stable. It was brown and big, with a long mane and tail. They wanted to pet it and ride it, but their mom said no.
+
+"That's Max, he's a new horse. He's not used to people yet, he's shy and scared. You have to be gentle and patient with him, or he might kick or bite. You can look at him, but don't touch him, okay?" their mom said.
+
+Lily and Tom nodded, but they were curious and excited. They went to the stable and looked at Max from a distance. He was munching on some hay, and he looked calm and friendly.
+
+"Can we say hello to him, mom?" Lily asked.
+
+"Only if you stay outside the stable, and talk softly. Don't make any sudden moves or noises, okay?" their mom said.
+
+Lily and Tom agreed, and they walked slowly to the stable door. They said hello to Max, and told him their names. They said he was a beautiful horse, and they wanted to be his friends.
+
+Max lifted his head and looked at them. He snorted and flicked his ears. He seemed curious and interested, but also nervous and wary.
+
+"Can we come closer, mom?" Tom asked.
+
+"No, not yet. He needs more time to trust you. Maybe tomorrow, or the next day, we can try to pet him. But only if he lets us, okay?" their mom said.
+
+Lily and Tom nodded, but they were impatient and eager. They wanted to touch Max and feel his soft fur and his warm breath. They wanted to hug him and kiss him and tell him they loved him.
+
+"Please, mom, can we come closer? Just a little bit? We'll be very careful and quiet, we promise. Please, please, please?" they insisted.
+
+Their mom shook her head and said no. She said it was too risky and dangerous. She said they had to respect Max and his feelings. She said they had to wait and be good.
+
+Lily and Tom pouted and whined. They didn't understand why their mom was so strict and mean. They thought Max liked them and wanted them to come closer. They thought they knew how to handle horses. They thought they were big and brave.
+
+They decided to disobey their mom and sneak into the stable. They thought their mom wouldn't notice, and Max wouldn't mind. They thought they were smart and clever.
+
+They were wrong.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with crayons and paper. One day, they visit Ben's aunt. She is a teacher. She has a fancy pen. It has ink inside. It can write in different colors.
+
+"Can I see your pen?" Lily asks.
+
+"Sure, but be careful. It is not a toy. It is very special," Ben's aunt says. She gives Lily the pen.
+
+Lily holds the pen. She feels curious. She wants to try it. She opens the cap. She sees the ink. It is shiny and wet. She puts the pen on the paper. She makes a line. It is blue. She moves the pen. The line changes to green, then yellow, then red.
+
+"Wow, this is amazing!" Lily says. She smiles. She makes more lines. She makes a rainbow.
+
+Ben watches Lily. He feels jealous. He wants the pen too. He grabs the pen from Lily. He pulls hard. Lily does not let go. They tug and tug. The pen breaks. The ink spills. It splashes on the paper, on the table, on the floor, on their clothes.
+
+"Oh no!" Lily and Ben say. They look at the mess. They feel scared. They hear Ben's aunt. She comes back. She sees the ink. She sees the pen. She sees Lily and Ben. She feels angry.
+
+"What have you done?" she says. She sounds loud. She sounds sad. She takes the pen. She throws it in the trash. She gives Lily and Ben a towel. She tells them to clean up. She tells them to say sorry.
+
+Lily and Ben feel sorry. They wipe the ink. They say sorry to Ben's aunt. They say sorry to each other. They hug. They learn a lesson. They do not touch fancy things without asking. They do not fight over things. They share and play nicely.
+Lily liked to sing. She had a microphone that her dad gave her. She sang every day in her room. She sang happy songs and sad songs. She sang loud and soft.
+
+One day, Lily wanted to sing for her friends. She took her microphone and went to the park. She saw her friends playing on the swings and slides. She said hello and asked them if they wanted to hear her sing. They said yes and gathered around her.
+
+Lily started to sing a happy song. She sang with a big smile. Her friends clapped and cheered. Lily felt happy. But then, a big boy came. He was mean and rude. He said he did not like Lily's singing. He said he wanted her microphone. He grabbed it from her hand and ran away.
+
+Lily was sad and angry. She wanted her microphone back. She ran after the big boy. Her friends ran with her. They shouted at the big boy to stop and give back the microphone. The big boy did not listen. He laughed and ran faster.
+
+Lily did not give up. She ran as fast as she could. She saw the big boy trip and fall. He dropped the microphone. Lily reached it and picked it up. She was happy. She had saved her microphone. She hugged it and thanked her friends for helping her. They hugged her back and said they were proud of her.
+
+The big boy got up and looked at Lily. He felt sorry. He realized he was wrong. He walked to Lily and said he was sorry. He said he liked her singing. He asked if he could be her friend. Lily smiled and said yes. She said she forgave him. She said they could share the microphone. They all sang a happy song together.
+
+The moral of the story is: Don't be mean and take things from others. Be brave and stand up for yourself. Be kind and forgive others. Be happy and share with others.
+One day, a little boy named Leo was bored at home. It was a gloomy day, and he could not go outside to play. He looked around his room, but he did not see anything fun. He only saw his toys, his books, and his paper.
+
+He picked up a piece of paper and folded it. He made a paper plane. He threw it in the air, but it fell down quickly. He tried again, but it did not fly far. He was sad. He wanted to make something else.
+
+He looked at his paper again. He had an idea. He cut the paper with his scissors. He made a paper mask. He drew eyes, a nose, and a mouth on it. He put it on his face. He looked in the mirror. He saw a paper lion.
+
+He smiled. He felt happy. He ran to his mom and dad. He showed them his mask. He said, "Look, I am a lion! Roar!" He made a loud roar. His mom and dad laughed. They said, "You are a very brave and clever lion! Roar!"
+
+Leo roared again. He felt proud. He played with his mask. He pretended to be a lion. He had fun. He forgot about the gloomy day. He made his own sunshine.
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play outside with their bikes. One day, they go to the street with Mom. Mom says, "Be careful and stay close to me. The street is busy and noisy."
+
+Lily and Ben nod and follow Mom. They see many cars and trucks and buses. They hear horns and sirens and engines. They smell smoke and gas and trash. They feel hot and tired and bored.
