He started to be bossy and disruptive, talking and making noise while the performers were singing. Finally, his Mommy had to take him outside. + +The next morning, Toby's Mommy decided it was time to teach him a lesson. So, she took him right back to the opera house. Toby was confused and frightened. When they entered, Toby saw +Jonny was walking through the park when he noticed something big. It was a mustache! He stopped and looked at it.

He said, "If you don't give it to me I'm going to do something very stupid". + +The boy was scared. He said, "Please don't do something stupid. I'll give it to you".

He was so startled that he tumbled backwards, toppling over all the things he had built. + +The leopard was very sad and he wondered why this had to happen to him. He soon realised that it was because he hadn't been careful. He had built his creations in a hurry and hadn't taken the time to make sure they were strong enough. And this was why they had been so easily destroyed. + +The leopard learnt an important lesson that day. He realised that he should take more care next time he builds something and be sure to make sure it will not break too easily.

Susie said, "Let's try to stand up and reach for them!" + +The two of them stood up and stretched out their arms so they could touch the colorful balloons. But they couldn't reach them. They tried again and again but they just weren't tall enough. + +Disappointed, Danny and Susie sat down under a tree and talked about it. They soon realized that they would only have success if they worked together. Together they could be taller and higher. They both jumped up, held each other's hands, and together they could reach the balloons! + +The moral of the story is that teamwork always works better than being alone. When we work together, it makes a bigger and better impact. +Sara was playing in the park when she noticed a little girl sitting on a bench. She looked so sad that Sara wanted to make her smile. She went over, sat beside her and said, "Hi, what's your name?" + +The little girl smiled and said, "My name is Polly. What's yours?" + +"My name is Sara. Do you want to play?" + +Polly nodded and said, "Yes, I do." + +So they started to play together and had lots of fun. After a while, Sara asked if Polly had any brothers or sisters. + +"Yes," said Polly sadly. "I have a brother called Tom, but he doesn't live with me and he never visits." + +Sara thought this was very sad and said, "I'm sure he loves you very much and misses you too." + +Polly's face lit up and she said, "Yes, I think so too. He's lovely and I miss him lots." + +Sara smiled and said, "If he loves you, he will come and visit you soon. I'm sure of it." + +Polly smiled and said, "Thanks, Sara. I hope so too." + +Then, just as they were about to go home, a familiar figure came down the path. It was Tom - Polly's brother!

As they were walking, suddenly a huge poppy appeared. +"Wow!" said the 3 year old. "Look at the huge poppy!" +Mummy knelt down and said, "Yes, it is very beautiful.

The bird tried to land upon it but it broke and fell down. + +The bird was very sad. It thought to itself, 'I must be more careful. Some things look inviting but can be dangerous.' + +So, it flew away and never went near the thin roof again. It lived happily ever after, flying from one rooftop to another with caution. +Mother was packing for the holiday. She had many bags filled with clothes and toys and Dad was helping her.

Tim was very surprised and asked who was speaking. It was a little bird! The bird said it had been trapped inside the armchair for a long time and wanted to get out. + +Tim thought for a moment and then had an idea.

What can I do to fix my bracelet?" + +Mandy's mom was nearby and heard her. She said, "Let's put it in the fridge and see if that helps." + +So Mandy did just that. She put the melted bracelet in the fridge and waited a few minutes. Then she took it back out and tried to stick the pieces back together. Luckily, the coldness of the fridge helped it hold together. + +Mandy smiled with relief. She put her bracelet back on her wrist and continued to play in the sun. From then on, she was more careful to take off her bracelet when it was too hot outside. +It was a bright sunny day and Max the cat was wondering what he should do.

Sally was excited and said, "Ok!" + +Jack said, "Let's put shampoo on your head. That's the first step of getting ready to style your hair". Sally was a little uncomfortable, but she agreed. + +Jack pretended to be a real stylist and put shampoo on Sally's head. Then he asked, "How does it feel?" Sally said, "It feels cold and tickly". Jack said, "That's a sign that it is working". + +After a few minutes, Jack said, "Ok, let's rinse the shampoo off your head". Sally felt so relieved and she said, "Thanks Jack, I had fun pretending". Jack said, "Me too, it was lots of fun". +Once upon a time, there was a family with three kids. Every morning, Mommy and Daddy put the kids in the car and drove them to school. As they drove, the kids would always ask why they had to go to school. Mommy and Daddy always said the same thing; it was a normal part of life. + +One morning, Mommy decided to show the kids the importance of school. When they arrived home, the parents told the kids to stay in the car. All three kids shrugged and waited. Then, slowly, a man with a stove opened the door of their house. He was a repairman, sent to fix the broken stove. + +The parents explained to their children that the repairman was there because Daddy had gone to school and learned how to fix the stove. The kids smiled and suddenly understood why they had to go to school. They were learning how to fix machines and other things! + +The next day, the kids were eager to go to school because they knew they were learning something useful.

He tried and tried, but he couldn't lift it. + +The mule was so disappointed in himself that he stood still for a while, until he noticed a small duck paddling by. He almost laughed at how small and weak it looked compared to him. But then he noticed that the duck happily paddled on, not caring about his strength or weakness. + +The mule realized that true strength isn't about who can lift the heavy things, but about who can stay strong even when things don't happen as expected.

She knew she had found a place she belonged and made many happy friendships. + +And that was the story of the lovely bell-ringer who surfed near the sea. +One day, a little girl named Lucy was playing in her backyard when she saw something. It was an old broken tree and it looked like it had been there for a long time. She wanted to climb it, but her mom said no. She said climbing the tree wasn't allowed and it was against the law. Lucy was very disappointed, but she understood. + +The next day, Lucy saw something even more interesting. It was a kettle and it had a very long handle. She wanted to play with it, but her mom said no. This time she explained about the law too. She said it was dangerous to play with things that could get very hot. Lucy was unhappy, but she understood. + +The next day, Lucy saw something even more boring than the tree and the kettle. It was a very big book and it had a lot of rules written inside. Her mom told her it was the law. It was very boring, but Lucy understood. + +So, Lucy decided to start a game of pretend. She started to pretend she was the queen and make up her own laws. She made up different laws for different things and even though she could never actually break them, it was a lot of fun. Lucy learned that the law could be boring sometimes, but it was also very exciting when you used it in the right way. +Once upon a time there was a little fairy called Bob. Bob was a very special fairy and he had the power to fill things up. One day Bob was flying around looking for something to fill up, when he saw a smelly pond. Bob knew that it was not good for the pond to be so smelly so he decided to fill it up with something special. + +Bob flew over to the pond and said, "I will fill this smelly pond with nice, clear water. Then it will not smell anymore." + +Excitedly the little pond replied, "Yes! Please do fill me up. I will be so much better if you do!" + +Bob started to fill the pond with his special magic. As the pond filled up with nice, clear water, it stopped smelling and the little fairy flew away happily. +Once upon a time, there lived a frog. He went out to play in the garden. He saw a big pond and decided to dive in it. He was so excited and dived in. Unfortunately, he did not know that the pond had a brick on the bottom of it. He hit the brick and it was hard. He was hurt and began to cry. + +In the end, the moral of this story was that it is not always wise to dive in without looking. It is better to look before you jump, or you could get hurt. The frog was sad because of his mistake and he learned an important lesson. +"Mommy, what are you doing?" asked the little three year old boy. + +"I am spraying this smooth paint," replied Mommy. + +The little boy looked around the room. He saw Mommy spraying the walls with a spray bottle. + +"What is this for, Mommy?" the little boy asked. + +"I'm painting the walls," Mommy answered. + +The little boy thought for a moment. "Do wars use spray?" + +Mommy smiled and shook her head. "No, wars use guns and bombs, not spray." + +The little boy nodded and watched Mommy finish painting the walls. + +"All done!" said Mommy. + +The little boy looked around. The walls were now smooth and bright. He couldn't wait to show Daddy! +The little bunny hopped down the street. He had a plan to visit his cool neighbor. He wanted to meet him and play a game together. He stopped to hop on the sidewalk and smiled as he arrived at the neighbor's house. + +Then he knocked on the door. His neighbor opened the door and looked very angry. He said, "What do you want?" + +The bunny 's smile faded. "I wanted to play a game," he said meekly. + +The neighbor scowled. "No," he said, "I don't have time for games. Get out of here!" + +The bunny didn't know what to do. He slowly turned around, feeling very unhappy, and hopped away down the street. He never got a chance to play with his neighbor. +Tim and Kim are twins. They like to play in their room. They have many toys and books. They also have a big bed. Sometimes they jump on the bed and pretend to fly. + +One night, Tim has a bad dream. He sees a big monster with sharp teeth and red eyes. The monster wants to eat him. Tim is very scared. He screams and wakes up. He sees Kim sleeping next to him. He shakes her and says, "Kim, Kim, wake up! There is a monster in my dream!" + +Kim opens her eyes and sees Tim. She is sleepy and dizzy. She does not see any monster. She says, "Tim, there is no monster. It is just a dream. Go back to sleep." + +But Tim is still scared. He says, "No, Kim, the monster is real. It will come back and get me. I do not want to sleep. I want to stay awake." + +Kim feels sorry for Tim. She hugs him and says, "Tim, do not be scared. I am here with you. The monster cannot hurt you. You are brave and strong. I will tell you a story to make you feel better." + +Kim tells Tim a story about a friendly dragon who helps a princess and a knight. The story is funny and exciting. Tim listens and smiles. He forgets about the monster. He feels calm and safe. He says, "Thank you, Kim. You are a good sister. I love you." + +Kim says, "You are welcome, Tim. I love you too. Now let us sleep. Good night." + +Tim and Kim close their eyes and sleep. They have sweet dreams. They do not scare or wake each other. They are happy. +Tim and Jen are playing in the yard. They like to run and jump and kick the ball. They see a big shadow on the grass. They look up and see a huge bird in the sky. It has a long beak and sharp claws. It is a hawk. + +"Look, Jen, a hawk!" Tim says. "It is so big and scary!" + +Jen feels fearful. She does not like the hawk. She thinks it will hurt them. She grabs Tim's hand and runs to the house. "Come on, Tim, let's go inside!" she says. + +But Tim is curious. He wants to see the hawk better. He stops and turns around. He sees the hawk swoop down and grab the ball with its claws. It flies away with the ball. + +"Hey, that's our ball!" Tim shouts. "Give it back, hawk!" + +The hawk does not hear Tim. It disappears in the clouds. Tim is sad and angry. He lost his ball. He wishes he had listened to Jen. He runs to the house and hugs Jen. "I'm sorry, Jen," he says. "You were right. The hawk was bad." + +Jen hugs Tim back. She is glad he is safe. She says, "It's OK, Tim. We can get another ball. But we can't get another you. I love you, Tim." + +"I love you too, Jen," Tim says. They go inside and have a snack. They forget about the hawk and the ball. They are happy to have each other. +Ben and Lily were playing in the park with their bikes. They were thirsty, so they went to the water fountain. Ben had a tube that he used to drink water from his bottle. He put the tube in his mouth and squeezed the bottle. + +"Look at me, Lily! I can drink water like a snake!" he said. + +Lily laughed and said, "That's silly, Ben! Snakes don't drink water like that. They drink water with their tongues." + +Ben felt embarrassed. He didn't know that snakes drink water with their tongues. He took the tube out of his mouth and said, "Oh, I didn't know that. How do you know that, Lily?" + +Lily smiled and said, "I learned that from a book. My mom reads me books about animals. They are very interesting. Do you want to read them with me?" + +Ben nodded and said, "Yes, I do. Maybe I can learn more things about snakes and other animals. Can we go to your house and read them?" + +Lily agreed and said, "Sure, let's go. But first, let's drink some water from the fountain. It's easier and faster than using a tube." + +They both drank some water from the fountain and then rode their bikes to Lily's house. They had fun reading books about animals and learning new things. Ben was not embarrassed anymore. He was happy and curious. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play with toys. But Ben was selfish and did not like to share. He always took the best toys and hid them in his room. Lily was sad and angry. + +One day, Lily saw a shiny red car on the shelf in the hall. She wanted to play with it, but it was too high for her to reach. She asked Ben to help her. + +"Ben, can you please get the car for me?" she said. + +"No, it is mine!" Ben said. "You can't have it!" + +"But you have so many toys in your room!" Lily said. "You never let me play with them!" + +"I don't care!" Ben said. "They are all mine! Go away!" + +Lily felt tears in her eyes. She ran to her mom and told her what Ben did. Mom was not happy. She went to Ben's room and saw all the toys he had. She took some of them and gave them to Lily. + +"Ben, you are being very selfish!" Mom said. "You need to learn to share with your sister. She is your family and your friend. How would you feel if she did the same to you?" + +Ben felt ashamed. He realized he had hurt Lily's feelings. He went to the hall and took the car from the shelf. He gave it to Lily and said he was sorry. + +"Lily, I am sorry for being selfish," he said. "You can play with the car and some of my other toys. Do you want to play with me?" + +Lily smiled and hugged him. She forgave him and said yes. They played together with the car and had fun. Mom was proud of them and gave them a cookie. They learned to be kind and share. +Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play pretend. One day, they found a big box of costumes in the attic. They put on hats and coats and glasses and wigs. Tim found a fake mustache and stuck it on his face. He said, "Look, I am a spy. I have a secret mission." + +Sam said, "I want to be a spy too. Give me a mustache." But Tim said, "No, this is my mustache. You can be something else." Sam was angry. He tried to grab the mustache from Tim's face. They started to fight. + +Mom heard the noise and came to the attic. She saw the boys pulling and pushing each other. She said, "Stop, stop, stop! What are you doing? You are making a mess. And you are hurting each other. You have to share the costumes. They are not yours." + +But Tim and Sam did not listen. They kept fighting over the mustache. The mustache was flexible and stretched. It snapped and broke in half. Tim and Sam both fell to the floor. They looked at the broken mustache and cried. + +Mom was very disappointed. She said, "You are both in trouble. You have to clean up the attic and apologize to each other. And you can't play with the costumes anymore. You have to learn to be nice and share." She took the costumes and the broken mustache and left the boys alone. Tim and Sam felt sad and sorry. They wished they had not fought over the mustache. They wished they had played nicely. But it was too late. The end. +Tom and Anna were friends who liked to play with water. They had a big spray bottle that they filled with water and took turns to spray each other. They laughed and ran around the garden, getting wet and happy. + +One day, they saw a furry cat sitting on the fence. The cat was black and white and had a collar with a bell. Tom and Anna thought the cat was cute and wanted to pet it. They walked slowly towards the fence, holding the spray bottle. + +"Hello, kitty," Anna said softly. "Do you want to play with us?" + +The cat looked at them and meowed. It seemed friendly and curious. Tom and Anna smiled and reached out their hands to touch the cat. + +But then, the cat saw the spray bottle and got scared. It thought Tom and Anna wanted to spray it with water. The cat did not like water at all. It hissed and jumped off the fence, running away. + +"Hey, come back!" Tom shouted. "We don't want to spray you, we want to be your friends!" + +But the cat did not listen. It ran and ran until it was out of sight. Tom and Anna felt sad and confused. They did not understand why the cat ran away. + +They decided to go back to their game and spray each other again. They hoped the cat would come back someday and play with them. + +They also wondered what the cat's name was and if it had a home. They thought maybe the cat had a marriage with another cat and they had kittens. They imagined how cute and furry the kittens would be. + +They wished they could see the cat and its family and give them some water to drink, not to spray. They thought maybe the cat would like them then and be their friend. +Tim and Kim are twins. They like to play sport with their friends. They can run, jump, kick and throw. They have fun and laugh a lot. + +One day, they have a sport day at school. They want to win a prize. They join different teams. Tim is on the red team and Kim is on the blue team. They have to race, catch and score. + +The last game is tug of war. The red team and the blue team have to pull a rope. The team that pulls the other team over a line wins. Tim and Kim are on opposite ends of the rope. They look at each other and smile. + +The teacher says, "Ready, set, go!" The red team and the blue team start to pull. The rope moves back and forth. Tim and Kim pull hard. They want to help their team. + +But then, Tim sees that Kim's shoe is untied. He thinks, "If Kim trips, the blue team will lose. That is not fair. I want to win, but I want to be honest too." He lets go of the rope and runs to Kim. He says, "Kim, your shoe is untied. Be careful. Tie it up." + +Kim is surprised. She says, "Thank you, Tim. You are very kind. But why did you let go of the rope? You could have won." + +Tim says, "I don't want to win by cheating. I want to win by playing fair. You are my sister and I love you. I don't want you to get hurt." + +Kim hugs Tim. She says, "I love you too, Tim. You are very honest. You are a good sport." + +The teacher sees what Tim did. He says, "Tim, you did a very brave and noble thing. You showed respect and care for your sister and your opponent. You are a true winner in my eyes. You deserve a prize." + +The teacher gives Tim a medal. The red team and the blue team clap and cheer. Tim and Kim are happy. They learned that being honest is more important than winning. They stay friends with everyone. They play sport with joy. +Sara and Tom were friends who liked to play on the beach. They made sand castles, dug holes, and collected shells. One day, they found a big shiny shell that looked like a rainbow. They both wanted it for themselves. + +"Give me the shell, Sara. It is mine. I saw it first," Tom said. + +"No, Tom. It is mine. I picked it up first," Sara said. + +They pulled and tugged at the shell, but neither of them would let go. They started to argue and shout at each other. They did not notice that a big wave was coming. + +The wave crashed on the shore and swept the shell away from their hands. It went back to the ocean, where it belonged. Sara and Tom were wet and sad. They had lost the shell and their friendship. + +They looked at each other and felt sorry. They realized that the shell was not worth fighting over. They had been selfish and greedy. They had forgotten to share and be kind. + +"I'm sorry, Sara. I was wrong. You are my friend. Can we play together again?" Tom said. + +"I'm sorry, too, Tom. I was wrong, too. You are my friend. Yes, we can play together again," Sara said. + +They hugged and smiled. They learned their lesson. They did not need the shell to be happy. They only needed each other. They went back to the beach and played some more. They found more shells, but they did not fight over them. They shared them and made a charming necklace for each other. They were happy and grateful. The ocean was happy, too. +Anna and Ben love to see the reindeer at the farm. They are big and soft and have horns on their heads. The farmer lets them feed the reindeer with carrots and hay. He says the reindeer provide milk and wool for him and his family. + +One day, Anna and Ben see a baby reindeer in the barn. It is small and cute and has no horns yet. The farmer says it is a new reindeer and it needs a lot of care.

Look, they have pasta. You like pasta, right?" Jen says. She tries to make Tom happy. + +"No, I don't want pasta. I want pizza. Only pizza. This place is bad. Let's leave," Tom says. He stands up and throws the menu on the floor. + +"Tom, stop! That is rude. You can't do that. You have to pay for the menu. And you have to say sorry," Jen says. She is scared. + +"I don't care. I don't like this place. I don't like you. You are not my friend. Bye," Tom says. He runs out of the door. + +Jen is sad. She cries. The waiter comes and sees the mess. He is mad. + +"Who did this? Who broke the menu?" he asks. + +"Tom did. He was my friend. But he left. He was not fine," Jen says. + +The waiter shakes his head. He gives Jen a big bill. + +"You have to pay for the menu. And for the table. And for the water. And for the tip. It is a lot of money," he says. + +Jen does not have a lot of money. She does not know what to do. She wishes Tom was here. But he is not.

They look at Mother. They feel sorry. + +"We are sorry, Mother," they say. "We wanted to play with the blocks, but we fought over them. We snapped at each other. We were stupid." + +Mother sighs. She picks up the boys and hugs them. She says, "I love you, Tom and Sam. But you have to learn to share and be nice to each other. Blocks are for building, not for breaking. And words are for talking, not for snapping. Can you do that?" + +Tom and Sam nod. They say, "Yes, Mother. We can do that. We love you too." + +Mother smiles. She says, "Good. Now, let's clean up the blocks and play together. How about we build a big tower together?" + +Tom and Sam smile too. They say, "Yes, Mother. That sounds fun." + +They help Mother clean up the blocks and play together. They build a big tower together. They do not fight or snap anymore. They are happy. +Anna liked to feed her dolls. She had a spoon, a plate and some pretend food. She pretended that her dolls were hungry and she gave them some food. She said, "Here you go, Daisy. Eat your soup. It is good for you." + +But Anna's brother, Ben, did not like her dolls. He thought they were silly and boring. He liked to play with his cars and trucks. He zoomed them around the room and made loud noises. He said, "Vroom, vroom! Beep, beep! Out of my way, dolls!" + +One day, Ben was very careless. He did not look where he was going. He drove his car over Anna's plate and spoon. He knocked them over and spilled the pretend food. He also knocked over Anna's perfume bottle. The perfume spilled on the dolls and made them smell bad. + +Anna was very sad and angry. She saw what Ben did and she cried. She said, "Ben, you are mean! You ruined my dolls and my perfume! You are a bad brother!" + +Ben felt sorry for Anna. He did not mean to make her cry. He said, "I'm sorry, Anna. I did not see your things. I was having fun with my car. Can I help you clean up?" + +Anna sniffed and wiped her tears. She said, "Yes, you can. You can get a cloth and some water. You can wipe the perfume off my dolls. And you can say sorry to them, too." + +Ben nodded and did what Anna said. He got a cloth and some water. He wiped the perfume off the dolls. He said, "I'm sorry, Daisy. I'm sorry, Rosie. I'm sorry, Lily. I did not mean to make you smell bad." + +Anna smiled and hugged her dolls. She said, "Thank you, Ben. You are a good brother. Do you want to play with me and my dolls?" + +Ben shrugged and smiled. He said, "Okay, Anna. I can play with you and your dolls. But can I also bring my car?" + +Anna nodded and said, "Yes, you can. But be careful. Don't drive over my things again." + +Ben agreed and said, "I won't. I promise." + +They played together and had fun. They fed the dolls and zoomed the car. They were happy. +Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play outside. One day, they found a big tunnel in the woods. They wanted to see what was inside, so they crawled in. The tunnel was dark and wet and had many rocks. Tim and Sam were not scared, they were curious. + +As they went deeper into the tunnel, they heard a loud roar. It was a bear! The bear was angry and hungry and wanted to eat them. Tim and Sam were very scared, they wanted to run away. But the tunnel was too narrow and they could not turn around. They were trapped! + +The bear came closer and closer, showing its sharp teeth and claws. Tim and Sam cried and screamed, but no one heard them. They wished they had stayed outside and listened to their mom, who told them not to go into the tunnel. But it was too late. The bear reached them and bit them. Tim and Sam felt a lot of pain and then nothing. The bear had eaten them. The end. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big gray cloud in the sky. It looked like rain. + +"Let's go home, Lily," Tom said. "We don't want to get wet." + +"No, Tom, let's play some more," Lily said. "I like the rain. It makes puddles." + +Tom did not like the rain. He did not like puddles. He liked to be dry and warm. He saw his shadow on the ground. It was long and thin. + +"Look, Lily, our shadows are funny," Tom said. "They are like pictures of us." + +Lily looked at her shadow. It was short and round. She laughed. + +"They are funny, Tom," Lily said. "Let's make faces at them." + +Tom and Lily made faces at their shadows. They stuck out their tongues and crossed their eyes. They made their shadows do the same. + +The gray cloud got darker and bigger. It made a loud noise. It was thunder. + +Tom and Lily got scared. They did not like thunder. It was loud and scary. + +"Let's go home, Tom," Lily said. "I don't like the thunder. It makes me sad." + +"OK, Lily, let's go home," Tom said. "I don't like the thunder either. It makes me mad." + +Tom and Lily ran to their home. They held hands. They did not look at their shadows. They did not look at the gray cloud. They wanted to be safe and happy. + +They got to their home. They saw their mom and dad. They hugged them. + +"Are you OK, Tom and Lily?" their mom asked. "Did you have fun in the park?" + +"We had fun, mom," Tom said. "But we did not like the rain and the thunder. They were bad." + +"We did not like them, mom," Lily said. "They were mean." + +Their mom and dad smiled. They kissed them. + +"Don't worry, Tom and Lily," their dad said. "The rain and the thunder will go away soon. The sun will come back. And so will your shadows." + +Tom and Lily smiled. They liked the sun. They liked their shadows. They liked their mom and dad. They were glad they remained together. +Lily wanted to make a cake for her mom's birthday. She asked her dad to help her. They went to the kitchen and looked for the things they needed. + +"Can you get me the eggs, Lily?" her dad asked. + +Lily nodded and opened the fridge. She saw a big carton of eggs. She tried to lift it, but it was too heavy. She dropped it on the floor. The eggs cracked and made a mess. + +"Oh no!" Lily cried. "I'm sorry, dad!" + +"It's okay, Lily. Accidents happen. Let's clean it up and try again," her dad said. He got a cloth and wiped the floor. He gave Lily a hug and a smile. + +They found another carton of eggs and put it on the counter. They also got some flour, sugar, butter, and milk. They mixed everything in a big bowl. Lily stirred with a spoon. She liked how the batter looked and smelled. + +"Good job, Lily. Now we need to bake the cake. Can you turn on the oven for me?" her dad asked. + +Lily nodded and walked to the oven. She saw a knob with numbers on it. She turned it to the highest number. She thought that would make the cake bake faster. + +"Wait, Lily, that's too high!" her dad said. He ran to the oven and turned the knob down. He explained to Lily that the oven needed to be at a medium temperature, not too hot or too cold. + +"Why?" Lily asked. + +"Because if the oven is too hot, the cake will burn. And if the oven is too cold, the cake will not rise. The oven uses gas to make heat. Gas is a kind of air that you can't see, but you can smell. Sometimes gas can make a loud noise or a bad smell. That can be dangerous or embarrassing," her dad said. + +Lily nodded. She remembered one time when she ate too many beans and made a loud noise and a bad smell. She felt embarrassed and everyone laughed. She did not want that to happen to the cake. + +They poured the batter into a pan and put it in the oven. They set a timer and waited. Lily helped her dad wash the dishes and clean the kitchen. She was excited to see the cake. + +Ding! The timer went off. They opened the oven and took out the pan. The cake looked golden and fluffy. It smelled yummy. + +"Wow, Lily, you did it! You made a cake for mom! You succeeded!" her dad said. + +Lily smiled and clapped her hands. She was proud of herself. She hugged her dad and thanked him for helping her. + +They decorated the cake with frosting and sprinkles. They wrote "Happy Birthday Mom" with a candle. They put the cake on a plate and carried it to the living room. They saw mom sitting on the couch, reading a book. + +"Surprise!" they shouted. "We made you a cake!" + +Mom looked up and saw the cake. She was surprised and happy. She hugged Lily and her dad and thanked them for the sweet gift. + +They sang "Happy Birthday" and mom blew out the candle. They cut the cake and ate it. It was delicious. + +Lily was happy. She made a cake for her mom and succeeded. She did not make a mess or a noise or a smell. She did not feel embarrassed. She felt loved. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They run, jump and slide. They are healthy and happy. + +One day, they see a big circle in the sky. It is yellow and bright. It is the sun. + +"Look, Anna, the sun is a circle!" Ben says. + +"Yes, it is. Do you remember what we learned about circles?" Anna asks. + +Ben thinks hard. He remembers. "Circles have no corners. They are round. Like a ball, or a cookie, or a wheel." + +"Very good, Ben. You are smart. Can you think of other things that are circles?" Anna says. + +Ben nods. He looks around. He sees a flower, a clock, a coin, a ring. He says their names. + +Anna smiles. She is proud of Ben. She gives him a hug. They are friends. They like circles. They like the sun. +Tim and Mia like to play with cubes. They have many cubes of different colors and sizes. They can make towers, houses, and trains with their cubes. Sometimes they take their cubes outside and play in the yard. + +One day, they find a new cube in the grass. It is brown and has strange marks on it. It looks very dirty. Tim and Mia are curious. They want to examine the cube and see what it is. + +They pick up the cube and look at it closely. They touch it and feel that it is hard and rough. They smell it and make a face. It does not smell good. They shake it and hear a rattling sound. They wonder what is inside the cube. + +They try to open the cube, but it is too tight. They ask their mom for help. She comes and sees the cube. She says, "Oh, this is not a cube. This is a nut. A squirrel must have buried it here and forgot about it. It is very old and rotten. You should throw it away." + +Tim and Mia are surprised. They did not know that nuts can look like cubes. They say, "Thank you, mom. We learned something new today." They throw away the nut and wash their hands. Then they go back to play with their cubes. They are happy. +Tom was a little boy who liked to play in the garden. He liked to dig in the dirt and plant seeds. He liked to water the seeds and watch them grow. He liked to see the flowers and the fruits that came from the seeds. + +One day, Tom found a big seed that looked like a ball. He wondered what it was. He dug a hole and put the seed in it. He watered it and waited. He waited for a long time, but nothing happened. He was sad. + +Then, one morning, he saw something in the hole. It was a green stem with a big leaf. He was happy. He watered it and waited some more. The stem grew taller and taller. The leaf grew bigger and bigger. Tom was amazed. + +After a while, the stem had a big yellow flower on top. The flower was bright and beautiful. Tom was proud. He watered it and waited again. The flower closed and became a big green ball. The ball had a hard skin. Tom was curious. + +He waited for the ball to open. He waited for a long time, but nothing happened. He was impatient. He decided to open the ball himself. He got a knife and cut the skin. He was surprised. + +Inside the ball, there was a lot of red and juicy flesh. It smelled sweet and tasty. It was a watermelon. Tom had grown a watermelon from a seed. He was impressed. He shared the watermelon with his family and friends. They were impressed too. They said Tom was a good gardener. Tom was happy. He liked to grow things. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play in the woods. They knew the path that led to the big lake, where they could see ducks and frogs. One day, they saw a new path that looked more fun. It had many twists and turns, and bright flowers along the way. + +"Let's go this way," said Ben. "Maybe we will find something cool." + +"I don't know," said Lily. "Mom said we should stay on the path we know. She said the woods can be tricky." + +"Don't be silly," said Ben. "We can guess where we are going. It will be an adventure. Come on, follow me." + +Lily was scared, but she did not want to be left alone. She followed Ben on the new path. They walked and walked, but they did not find anything cool. They only found more trees and bushes, and some strange noises. They started to feel lost and hungry. + +"Ben, I want to go back," said Lily. "This path is not fun. It is foolish. We should have listened to Mom." + +Ben felt sorry for making Lily follow him. He also wanted to go back, but he did not know how. He looked around, but he could not see the path they came from. He could only see more trees and bushes, and some dark shadows. + +"Lily, I'm sorry," said Ben. "I made a mistake. I don't know where we are. I don't know how to go back." + +Lily and Ben hugged each other and cried. They wished they had stayed on the path they knew. They wished they had listened to Mom. They did not know what to do. + +But then, they heard a familiar sound. It was the sound of a whistle. It was the sound of Mom. She had come to look for them. She had followed their footprints on the new path. She had found them. + +"Lily, Ben, I'm here," said Mom. "I'm so glad I found you. You are safe now. Come with me. Let's go home." + +Lily and Ben ran to Mom and hugged her. They were happy to see her. They were happy to be safe. They said they were sorry for being foolish. They said they would never leave the path they knew again. + +Mom smiled and kissed them. She said she loved them. She said she was proud of them for staying together. She said they had learned a lesson. She said they could still have adventures, but only on the path they knew. +Lily and Ben were playing with crayons. They liked to draw pictures of animals and flowers. Lily had a big box of crayons with many colors. Ben had a small box with only a few colors. + +"Can I use your red crayon?" Ben asked Lily. "I want to draw a rose." + +"No, you can't," Lily said. "This is my red crayon. You have your own crayons." + +"But I don't have a red crayon," Ben said. "Please, Lily, can I borrow it for a little bit?" + +"No, no, no," Lily said. "You are selfish. You want to take my crayons. Go away." + +Ben felt sad and angry. He wanted to draw a rose, but Lily would not share her crayons. He thought Lily was selfish. He looked at his small box of crayons. He had a blue crayon, a green crayon, and a yellow crayon. He had an idea. + +He took his blue crayon and started to draw on Lily's picture. He filled her sun with blue. He filled her grass with blue. He filled her cat with blue. He filled everything with blue. + +"Hey, what are you doing?" Lily shouted. "You are ruining my picture. Stop it, stop it, stop it." + +Ben did not stop. He kept drawing with his blue crayon. He felt happy and naughty. + +"Lily, Ben, what is going on here?" Mom said. She came into the room and saw the mess. She saw Lily's picture covered with blue. She saw Ben's smile and his blue crayon. She saw Lily's tears and her big box of crayons. + +"Ben, why did you draw on Lily's picture?" Mom asked. + +"Because she would not share her red crayon," Ben said. + +"Lily, why did you not share your red crayon?" Mom asked. + +"Because it is mine," Lily said. + +Mom shook her head. She was not happy. She said, "You both need to learn to share and be kind. Crayons are for making pictures, not for making trouble. Lily, you have many colors, you can let Ben use some of them. Ben, you cannot draw on Lily's picture, that is not nice. You both need to say sorry and make up." + +Lily and Ben looked at each other. They felt sorry and ashamed. They said sorry and hugged. They decided to share their crayons and draw a new picture together. They used red, blue, green, yellow, and other colors. They made a beautiful picture of a rainbow and a garden. They showed it to Mom and she smiled. She said, "That's much better. I'm proud of you. Now you can have some cookies and milk." +Tom and Lily were going to a party. They put on their best clothes. Tom wore a blue shirt and a tie. Lily wore a pink dress and a bow. They were very happy. + +They got in the car with Mom and Dad. The car drove fast on the road. Tom and Lily looked out the window. They saw many things. They saw trees, houses, dogs, and birds. They said, "Look, look, what is that?" + +Mom and Dad smiled and answered their questions. They told them about the things they saw. They said, "That is a tree, that is a house, that is a dog, that is a bird." Tom and Lily learned new words. They said, "Tree, house, dog, bird." They were very interested. + +They arrived at the party. They saw many people. They saw their friends, their cousins, their aunt, and their uncle. They said, "Hello, hello, how are you?" They hugged and kissed them. They were very polite. + +They played games, ate cake, and opened presents. They had a lot of fun. They thanked their aunt and uncle for the party. They said, "Thank you, thank you, we had a great time." They were very grateful. + +They got back in the car with Mom and Dad. They were tired but happy. They told Mom and Dad about the party. They said, "We played games, we ate cake, we opened presents." They showed Mom and Dad their presents. They said, "Look, look, what we got." + +Mom and Dad praised them and hugged them. They said, "We are proud of you, you are good children. You wore a nice tie, you wore a pretty bow. You were interested, polite, and grateful. You made us happy." Tom and Lily smiled and said, "We love you, Mom and Dad." They were very loving. +Lila and Ben were twins who liked to play in the woods. They had a hut made of sticks and leaves where they kept their toys and snacks. One day, they decided to go to the hut after school. + +"Let's go to the hut and have some cookies," Lila said. + +"OK, but we have to be careful. Mom said there are big animals in the woods," Ben said. + +They walked along the path, holding hands and singing songs. They saw birds and squirrels and flowers. They were happy and smiled a lot. + +When they reached the hut, they saw something strange. The door was open and the sticks were broken. The leaves were scattered and the toys were gone. The cookies were on the ground, half-eaten. + +"Who did this?" Lila asked. + +"I don't know. Maybe a big animal," Ben said. + +They heard a loud roar from behind the hut. They turned around and saw a big bear. The bear had fur and claws and teeth. It looked angry and hungry. It saw the twins and growled. + +Lila and Ben were scared. They screamed and ran away. They forgot about the hut and the cookies. They only wanted to be safe. + +They ran back to the path, hoping to find their mom. They saw her waiting for them at the end of the woods. She saw them running and looked worried. + +"What happened? Are you OK?" she asked. + +"There was a big bear in the hut! It ate our cookies and broke our toys!" Lila said. + +"Oh, no! I'm sorry, sweeties. That must have been scary. Come here, let me hug you," she said. + +She hugged them and kissed them. She told them they were brave and smart. She said they could make a new hut and get new cookies and toys. She said she loved them very much. + +Lila and Ben felt better. They hugged their mom and thanked her. They still felt scared, but they also felt loved. They smiled a little. +One day, a mouse went to the park. He liked to play on the slide and the swing. He saw many flowers and trees. He was happy. + +But then, he saw a big cat. The cat was hungry and wanted to catch the mouse. The mouse was scared and ran away. He looked for a place to hide. + +He saw an open box near a bench. He ran inside the box. He hoped the cat would not find him. He waited and waited. + +After a while, he heard a voice. It was a girl. She said, "Look, Mommy, a mouse!" She picked up the box and looked inside. She smiled and said, "He is so cute! Can I keep him?" + +The mouse was surprised and nervous. He did not know what to do. He looked at the girl and the cat. He wished he was back in the park. +Tim and Mia were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the soil and look for bugs and worms. They had a big bucket to put their finds in. + +"Look, Tim, I found a shiny stone!" Mia said, holding up a small pebble. + +"Wow, that's pretty!" Tim said. "Can I see?" + +Mia nodded and gave him the stone. Tim rubbed it with his fingers and saw that it had different colors. + +"Maybe it's a magic stone," he said. "Maybe it can do things." + +"Like what?" Mia asked. + +Tim thought for a moment. He wanted to make up a fun story. + +"Like, maybe it can make us fly, or turn invisible, or talk to animals," he said. + +Mia gasped. She liked those ideas. + +"Let's try it!" she said. "How do we use it?" + +Tim looked at the stone. He didn't really know, but he wanted to play along. + +"Maybe we have to yell a magic word," he said. + +"OK, what's the magic word?" Mia asked. + +Tim thought of a word that sounded mysterious. + +"Zarbo!" he yelled, holding the stone in the air. + +Mia yelled with him. + +"Zarbo!" + +They waited for something to happen. They looked at each other, at the stone, at the sky, at the garden. Nothing changed. + +They felt a little disappointed, but also a little silly. + +"Maybe it's not a magic stone," Mia said. + +"Maybe not," Tim said. + +They shrugged and put the stone in the bucket. They decided to keep digging and looking for more things. They still had fun, even without magic. +Lily wanted to help her mom prepare a cake for her dad's birthday. She saw mom take out a big bowl, some eggs, some flour, some sugar, and some butter. Lily asked, "Can I help, mom?" + +Mom smiled and said, "Of course, Lily. You can help me crack the eggs and stir the batter. But be careful, don't make a mess." + +Lily nodded and climbed on a chair. She took an egg and tapped it on the edge of the bowl. But the egg broke too hard and splashed all over the table. Lily gasped and said, "Sorry, mom!" + +Mom sighed and said, "It's okay, Lily. Accidents happen. But let me do the rest of the eggs, okay? You can stir the batter with this spoon." + +Lily took the spoon and started to stir the batter. She liked how it looked and smelled. She wondered if dad would like the cake. She saw a note on the fridge that said, "Happy birthday, dad! Love, mom and Lily." She thought the note was old and boring. She wanted to make a new note for dad. She got down from the chair and looked for some paper and crayons. + +She found some paper and crayons in her room and started to draw a picture of a cake with candles and a big heart. She wrote, "Happy birthday, dad! You are the best! Love, Lily." She was proud of her note and ran back to the kitchen to show mom. + +But when she got to the kitchen, she saw that mom had already put the cake in the oven and was cleaning the table. Lily saw her note on the fridge and felt sad. She thought mom didn't like her note. She said, "Mom, look at my note. I made it for dad." + +Mom turned and saw Lily holding her note. She smiled and said, "Oh, Lily, that's a beautiful note. Thank you for making it for dad. He will love it. I'm sorry I didn't see it before. I was busy with the cake. Can I put it on the fridge next to mine?" + +Lily nodded and smiled. She gave mom a hug and said, "I love you, mom. And I love dad. And I love cake." + +Mom hugged her back and said, "I love you too, Lily. And I love dad. And I love cake. Now let's wait for the cake to bake and then we can surprise dad with our notes and our cake." +Lily and Max were at the park with their mom. They saw a big fountain with water that went up and down. The water was brilliant in the sun. It sparkled and shone. + +"Can we go near the fountain, mom?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, but be careful not to get wet," mom said. + +Lily and Max ran to the fountain. They saw many coins at the bottom of the water. They wondered why people threw coins in the fountain. + +"Maybe they make a wish," Max said. + +"What would you wish for?" Lily asked. + +"I would wish for a big ice cream," Max said. + +"I would wish for a new doll," Lily said. + +They looked at the fountain and thought about their wishes. Then they saw a duck swimming in the water. The duck was brown and white. It quacked and splashed. + +"Look, a duck!" Lily said. + +"Hello, duck!" Max said. + +The duck came closer to them. It looked at them with its black eyes. It seemed friendly. + +"Can we feed the duck, mom?" Lily asked. + +Mom gave them some bread crumbs. They threw the bread crumbs in the water. The duck ate them happily. It quacked and wagged its tail. + +Lily and Max smiled. They liked the duck. They felt happy. + +They settled on the edge of the fountain. They watched the duck and the water. They forgot about their wishes. They had everything they needed. +Lily loved to swing on the big tree in her garden. She felt like she was flying in the air, like a bird or a fairy. She liked to pretend that she was a fairy with magic wings and a wand. + +One day, as she was swinging, she saw something shiny in the grass. She stopped the swing and jumped off. She ran to the shiny thing and picked it up. It was a small necklace with a fairy pendant. It sparkled in the sun. + +"Wow, it's so pretty!" Lily said. "Maybe it's a real fairy's necklace. Maybe she left it for me." + +She put the necklace around her neck and felt a warm tingling. She heard a tiny voice in her ear. + +"Hello, Lily. I'm Faye, the fairy who gave you the necklace. I saw you swinging and I liked your imagination. I wanted to be your friend." + +Lily gasped. She looked around, but she couldn't see anyone. She touched her ear and felt the fairy's breath. + +"Are you really a fairy?" Lily asked. + +"Yes, I am. And you are a very special girl. You can see me and hear me because you have the necklace. Do you want to play with me?" + +Lily nodded. She was so happy and curious. She wanted to play with the fairy and learn more about her. + +"OK, then. Follow me. I'll show you my fairy home. It's in the tree. We have yummy things to eat and drink, and lots of fun things to do. Come on, let's go!" + +Faye flew out of Lily's ear and zoomed to the tree. Lily ran after her, holding the necklace. She felt a new adventure waiting for her. She smiled and followed the fairy. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to help Mom in the kitchen. Today, Mom is making a cake for Dad's birthday. She lets Anna and Ben stir the batter and pour it in the pan. + +"Can we lick the spoon, Mom?" Anna asks. + +"Sure, but only a little bit. We need to save some batter for the cake," Mom says. + +Anna and Ben lick the spoon and smile. The batter is sweet and yummy. They want more. + +"Can we have some more batter, Mom?" Ben asks. + +"No, honey. That's enough. The batter has eggs and flour. They are not good for your tummy if you eat too much. We need to put the cake in the oven now," Mom says. + +She opens the oven and slides the pan inside. The oven is hot and makes a whoosh sound. + +"Can we see the cake, Mom?" Anna asks. + +"Not yet, sweetie. The cake needs to bake for a long time. It will grow and turn brown and smell good. Then we can take it out and let it cool. Then we can put frosting and candles on it," Mom says. + +Anna and Ben nod. They understand. They want the cake to be nice and soft and moist for Dad. + +They go to the living room and play with their toys. They hear the timer beep. Mom goes to the kitchen and takes out the cake. She puts it on a rack to cool. + +"Can we see the cake now, Mom?" Ben asks. + +"Sure, but be careful. The cake is still hot. Don't touch it," Mom says. + +Anna and Ben follow Mom to the kitchen. They see the cake. It is big and brown and smells good. They want to taste it. + +"Can we have a piece of cake now, Mom?" Anna asks. + +"No, darling. The cake is for Dad's birthday. We need to wait until he comes home. Then we can sing and cut the cake and share it with everyone," Mom says. + +Anna and Ben pout. They don't want to wait. They want cake now. + +"Please, Mom. Just a little piece. We helped you make it. We deserve it," Ben says. + +"No, no, no. You have to be patient. The cake is not ready yet. It is too hot and too dry. It needs frosting and candles. It will be much better later. Trust me," Mom says. + +Anna and Ben refuse to listen. They are stubborn. They wait until Mom goes to the bathroom. Then they sneak to the kitchen. They grab a knife and cut a small piece of cake. They put it in their mouths. + +They spit it out. The cake is hot and dry and bitter. It hurts their tongues and makes them cough. They don't like it at all. + +They run to the sink and drink some water. They feel sorry and ashamed. They wish they had listened to Mom. + +They hear Mom coming back. They hide the knife and the piece of cake. They hope Mom won't notice. + +Mom sees them. She sees their faces and their crumbs. She knows what they did. + +She is not angry. She is sad. + +She hugs them and says, "I told you so. The cake is not good yet. You have to wait for the right time. You have to trust me. I love you and I want you to enjoy the cake. But you have to learn to be patient and obedient. Can you do that?" + +Anna and Ben nod. They say, "We're sorry, Mom. We love you too. We won't do it again. We'll wait for Dad. We'll wait for the cake." + +Mom smiles and says, "That's good. I forgive you. Now let's fix the cake. We'll put some frosting and candles on it. It will be beautiful and delicious. Dad will be happy. And so will we." + +Anna and Ben smile too. They help Mom fix the cake. They learn their lesson. They wait for the right time. They wait for the cake. +Lily and Tom were playing pretend in the living room. Lily was the teacher and Tom was the student. Lily had a folder with some papers inside. She wanted to serve Tom a test. + +"Tom, it is time for your test. Take this paper and write your name and the answers," Lily said, handing him a paper from the folder. + +"OK, teacher Lily. I will try my best," Tom said, taking the paper and a crayon. + +Lily watched Tom as he wrote on the paper. She saw that he was careless. He did not write his name neatly. He did not color inside the lines. He did not write the right answers. He wrote silly things like "cat" and "banana". + +"Tom, you are very careless. You did not do your test well. You need to practice more," Lily said, taking the paper back and looking at it. + +"But teacher Lily, I do not like tests. I like to have fun. Can we play something else?" Tom said, making a sad face. + +Lily felt sorry for Tom. She did not want to make him unhappy. She put the paper back in the folder and closed it. + +"OK, Tom. We can play something else. But next time, you have to be more careful with your test. Do you understand?" Lily said, smiling. + +"Yes, teacher Lily. I understand. Thank you for being nice to me," Tom said, hugging Lily. + +They put the folder away and decided to play with their toys. They had fun and forgot about the test. +Lily and Ben wanted to make a cake for Mom's birthday. They found a big bowl, some eggs, some flour, some butter and some sugar in the kitchen. They put everything in the bowl and mixed it with a spoon. They did not know how much to use, so they used a lot. + +"Let's put it in the oven," said Lily. + +"OK," said Ben. + +They opened the oven and saw a pan with some meat and potatoes. They moved it to the side and put the bowl in the oven. They closed the oven and waited. + +After a while, they smelled something bad. They opened the oven and saw smoke and fire. The bowl had become too hot and broken. The cake had become a burnt and sticky mess. The meat and potatoes had become black and hard. + +"Oh no!" said Lily and Ben. + +They heard Mom coming home. They ran to the living room and hid behind the sofa. They hoped Mom would not be angry. + +Mom opened the door and smelled the smoke. She saw the messy kitchen and the ruined dinner. She was very surprised and upset. + +"What happened here?" she asked. + +Lily and Ben came out from behind the sofa. They looked at Mom with sad and sorry eyes. + +"We wanted to make a cake for you," they said. + +Mom saw the sugar on their faces and clothes. She saw the love in their eyes. She smiled and hugged them. + +"Thank you, my sweeties," she said. "But next time, please ask me for help." +Tim and Mia liked to play in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. One day, they saw a new boy in the park. He had a big hat and a long coat. He looked mysterious. + +"Who is he?" asked Tim. + +"I don't know," said Mia. "Let's go and say hello." + +They ran towards the boy, but he ran away. He was very fast. + +"Hey, wait!" shouted Tim. "We want to be your friends!" + +The boy did not stop. He ran to the other side of the park, where there was a big fence. He climbed over the fence and disappeared. + +Tim and Mia followed him. They climbed over the fence too. They saw a big field with many cars and trucks. They heard loud noises and saw smoke. + +"What is this place?" asked Mia. + +"It looks like a race," said Tim. "Maybe the boy likes to watch the race." + +They looked around and saw the boy. He was sitting on a truck, holding a camera. He was taking pictures of the cars. + +"Hello," said Tim. "What are you doing?" + +The boy looked at them and smiled. He took off his hat and coat. He had blond hair and blue eyes. + +"Hi," he said. "I'm Ben. I'm a reporter. I like to take pictures of the race. Do you like the race too?" + +Tim and Mia recognized him. He was the boy from the TV. He was famous. + +"Wow," said Tim. "You're Ben. You're on the news. You're cool." + +"Thank you," said Ben. "You're cool too. Do you want to see my pictures?" + +"Yes, please," said Mia. + +Ben showed them his pictures. They were very good. They showed the cars and the drivers and the fans. + +"These are amazing," said Mia. + +"Thank you," said Ben. "Do you want to help me take more pictures?" + +"Yes, please," said Tim and Mia. + +They helped Ben take more pictures. They had fun. They made a new friend. They liked the race. They liked the mysterious boy. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the living room. They have many toys and books. But their favorite thing is the big cushion. The cushion is soft and fluffy. It has many colors and shapes. + +One day, Lily and Tom decide to name the cushion. They think of different names. Lily says, "How about Rainbow? The cushion is like a rainbow." Tom says, "No, I don't like Rainbow. How about Spot? The cushion has many spots." Lily says, "No, I don't like Spot. How about Fluffy? The cushion is very fluffy." + +They cannot agree on a name. They start to argue. They pull the cushion from each other. They make loud noises. They are not happy. + +Mom hears the noise. She comes to the living room. She sees Lily and Tom fighting over the cushion. She says, "What are you doing? Why are you fighting? The cushion is for sharing, not for fighting." + +Lily and Tom stop fighting. They feel sorry. They say, "We are sorry, Mom. We were trying to name the cushion. But we could not agree on a name. We like different names." + +Mom says, "I see. Naming the cushion is a fun idea. But you don't have to fight about it. You can both choose a name. And you can use both names. How about that?" + +Lily and Tom think about it. They like Mom's idea. They say, "OK, Mom. We can use both names. We can call the cushion Rainbow-Fluffy. Or Fluffy-Rainbow. Or we can take turns. That is fair." + +Mom says, "That is a good solution. I am glad you are friends again. Now, why don't you hug the cushion and each other? And then you can play nicely with the cushion and your other toys." + +Lily and Tom do what Mom says. They hug the cushion and each other. They say, "We are sorry, cushion. We are sorry, friend. We love you, cushion. We love you, friend." They are glad. They smile. They play. They have fun. The cushion is happy too. The end. +Sara and Ben were twins who liked to play in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat, a scarf and a carrot nose. They gave him a name: Frosty. They said hello to Frosty every morning and gave him hugs. + +One day, the sun was very bright and warm. Sara and Ben went outside to play with Frosty, but they saw something sad. Frosty was smaller and his hat and scarf were on the ground. His carrot nose was half gone. Frosty was melting! + +Sara and Ben felt sorry for Frosty. They wanted to help him. They ran inside and asked their mom for a blanket. Mom said no, a blanket would not help Frosty. She said Frosty was made of snow and snow melts when it is warm. She said it was part of nature and they should not be sad. + +Sara and Ben did not understand. They went back outside and looked at Frosty. He was even smaller and his eyes were gone. They started to cry. They said they loved Frosty and they did not want him to go. + +Frosty heard them and smiled. He said he loved them too and he was happy they were his friends. He said he was not going away, he was just changing. He said he would become water and go to the sky. He said he would come back as snow when it was cold again. He said they could make him again and play with him. He said he was wise and he knew how nature worked. He said they should be happy and enjoy the snow. + +Sara and Ben listened to Frosty and stopped crying. They realized he was right and he was wise. They thanked him for being their friend and said they would see him again. They picked up his hat and scarf and put them in a safe place. They said goodbye to Frosty and watched him melt. They saw him become water and go to the sky. They smiled and went to play in the snow. They were quiet and happy. +Tom and Lily were playing in the living room. They liked to draw pictures with crayons and paper. Tom had a folder where he kept his best pictures. He was very proud of them. + +"Can I see your pictures, Tom?" Lily asked. She wanted to gaze at his drawings. She liked to see the colors and shapes. + +"Okay, but be careful. They are very special to me," Tom said. He opened his folder and showed Lily his pictures. There were pictures of animals, cars, flowers and stars. + +"Wow, they are very pretty, Tom. You are very good at drawing," Lily said. She gazed at each picture with a smile. She saw one picture of a big red heart. She liked it very much. + +"Can I have this one, Tom? Please, please, please," Lily begged. She reached for the picture of the heart. + +"No, Lily, you can't have it. It is mine. I made it for Mommy. She will love it," Tom said. He pulled the picture away from Lily. He held it tight in his hand. + +"But I want it, Tom. It is so pretty. Please, give it to me," Lily said. She tried to grab the picture from Tom. They both pulled hard on the picture. + +"Stop it, Lily. You are tearing it. Let go, let go," Tom shouted. He was angry and scared. He did not want to lose his picture. + +"No, Tom. You stop it. You are mean. I want it, I want it," Lily shouted back. She was stubborn and greedy. She did not care about Tom's feelings. + +They pulled and pulled on the picture until it ripped in half. They both gasped and cried. The picture was ruined. They looked at each other with sad and angry eyes. They did not want to play anymore. They did not want to be friends anymore. They ran to their rooms and slammed the doors. They were alone and unhappy. The end. +Lily and Ben wanted to play with the wagon. They liked to pull it around the yard and fill it with toys and flowers. But Mom said they had to wait. She had to delay their playtime because she had to do some work. + +"Please, Mom, can we play now?" Lily asked. + +"Not yet, sweetie. I need to finish this report. It won't take long," Mom said. + +"But we are bored, Mom. We want to have fun," Ben said. + +"I know, honey. But you have to be patient. Why don't you read a book or draw a picture?" Mom suggested. + +Lily and Ben did not like that idea. They were stubborn. They wanted to play with the wagon and nothing else. They decided to sneak out of the house and get the wagon from the garage. They thought Mom would not notice. + +They were wrong. Mom heard the garage door open and saw them running away with the wagon. She was not happy. She ran after them and caught them. + +"What are you doing, you naughty kids? I told you to wait for me. You can't play with the wagon without my permission," Mom scolded. + +"We are sorry, Mom. We just wanted to play. We did not mean to make you angry," Lily and Ben said. + +Mom sighed. She loved her kids, but they were sometimes too stubborn for their own good. She decided to give them a chance. + +"Okay, I forgive you. But you have to promise me to listen to me next time. And you have to help me with my work for a little while. Then we can all play with the wagon together. Deal?" Mom said. + +"Deal, Mom. We promise. We love you, Mom," Lily and Ben said. + +They hugged Mom and went back to the house. They helped Mom with her work and then they had a lot of fun with the wagon. They learned that delaying their playtime was not so bad after all. They also learned to be more obedient and less stubborn. Mom was proud of them. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play with their toys. But sometimes they did not behave and made a big mess. One day, their mom said, "You have to clean up your room or you will not get any dessert." Lily and Ben did not want to miss dessert, so they started to pick up their toys. + +But then they saw a gray book on the shelf. It had a picture of a wand and a star on the cover. Lily and Ben were curious and opened the book. It was a book of magic spells. They saw a spell that said, "Make your toys come to life and do what you say." Lily and Ben thought that would be fun, so they read the spell out loud. + +Suddenly, their toys started to move and talk. They had eyes and mouths and voices. Lily and Ben were amazed and happy. They told their toys to help them clean up the room. The toys obeyed and started to put themselves in the boxes and baskets. Lily and Ben clapped and laughed. + +But then something went wrong. The toys did not stop cleaning. They started to take other things from the room, like the pillows, the clothes, the books, and the pictures. They threw them in the trash or out the window. Lily and Ben tried to stop them, but the toys did not listen. They said, "We are doing what you said. We are cleaning up the room." + +Lily and Ben were scared and sorry. They did not know how to undo the spell. They wished they had behaved and not played with the magic book. They ran to their mom and told her what happened. Their mom was angry and sad, but she also loved them. She said, "You made a big mistake, but we can fix it. We have to find the magic book and read the reverse spell. Then we have to buy new things for your room. And you have to promise me to never touch the magic book again." + +Lily and Ben nodded and hugged their mom. They said, "We are sorry, mom. We promise to behave and not play with magic again." They hoped they could find the magic book and make their toys normal again. They learned their lesson and never forgot it. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play with toys. One day, Lily has a new toy. It is a blue car. She wants to show Tom her blue car. + +She goes to Tom's house and knocks on the door. Tom's mom opens the door. She says, "Hello, Lily. Do you want to play with Tom?" + +Lily says, "Yes, please. I have a new toy. Can I show Tom?" + +Tom's mom says, "Of course. Tom is in his room. Come in." + +Lily follows Tom's mom to Tom's room. She sees Tom playing with his blocks. She says, "Hi, Tom. Look what I have. It is a blue car. It can go fast. Do you want to see?" + +Tom says, "Wow, Lily. Your blue car is cool. Can I play with it?" + +Lily says, "Yes, you can. But only for a minute. Then I want it back. It is my new toy." + +Tom says, "OK, Lily. Thank you. Let's play with your blue car and my blocks. We can make a road and a bridge." + +Lily and Tom play with the blue car and the blocks. They have fun. They share and take turns. They are good friends. +Anna and Ben are playing hide and seek in the kitchen. Anna is the seeker and Ben is the hider. Ben runs to the cupboard and opens the door. He sees a big pot and a small bowl. He decides to hide behind the pot. He closes the door and waits. + +Anna counts to ten and then says, "Ready or not, here I come!" She looks around the kitchen and tries to find Ben. She sees the table, the chairs, the fridge, the oven, and the sink. She does not see Ben. She thinks he is very good at hiding. + +She walks to the cupboard and puts her hand on the door. She hears a small noise inside. She opens the door and sees Ben's face behind the pot. Ben blinks and smiles. Anna says, "I found you, Ben! You are in the cupboard!" + +Ben says, "You are very alert, Anna! You are a good seeker!" He comes out of the cupboard and gives Anna a hug. They laugh and decide to play again. Anna says, "This time, I will hide and you will seek. Can you find me, Ben?" + +Ben says, "Yes, I can find you, Anna! You are my best friend!" He covers his eyes and starts to count. Anna runs to find a new hiding spot. She hopes Ben will not find her too soon. She likes to play hide and seek with Ben. +Tom and Lily like to play in the park. They see a big crane near the park. The crane is lifting boxes and putting them on a truck. + +"Wow, look at the crane!" Tom says. "It is so big and strong!" + +"I want to see it close!" Lily says. "Let's go near it!" + +Tom and Lily run to the crane. They do not see the sign that says "Keep out". They do not hear the man who shouts "Stop!" + +The crane moves and drops a box. The box falls near Tom and Lily. They are scared. They scream. + +"Help! Help!" they cry. + +The man runs to them. He is angry. He grabs them and takes them away from the crane. + +"What are you doing here?" he asks. "This is not a place to play! This is dangerous! You could get hurt!" + +Tom and Lily are sorry. They did not know. They are also glad. They are safe. + +"Sorry, sir," Tom says. "We just wanted to see the crane." + +"Sorry, sir," Lily says. "We did not see the sign." + +The man is not so angry now. He is also glad. They are safe. + +"Next time, stay away from the crane," he says. "It is not a toy. It is a tool. It can hurt you." + +He takes them back to the park. He tells them to play there. He tells them to be careful. + +Tom and Lily nod. They say thank you. They go back to the park. They play there. They are careful. They are safe. They are happy. +Lily and Sam were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They gave him a carrot nose and two buttons for eyes. They were very happy with their snowman. + +But then, a big dog came running. He saw the snowman and wanted to play with him. He jumped on the snowman and knocked him down. He bit the hat and the scarf and the carrot nose. He made a big mess of the snowman. + +Lily and Sam were very sad. They cried and ran to their mom. Their mom hugged them and gave them hot chocolate. She said, "Don't worry, you can make another snowman tomorrow. You did a great job today. You are my snowman champions." + +She gave them each a pink trophy with a snowman on it. Lily and Sam smiled and thanked their mom. They put their trophies on the shelf in their room. They felt warm and proud. + +But the dog was still outside. He was cold and hungry. He had no hat or scarf or carrot nose. He had no mom or hot chocolate or trophy. He shivered and whimpered. He wished he had not ruined the snowman. He wished he had friends to play with. He was very lonely. +Ben and Mia were playing on the beach with their sand toys. They made a big castle with towers and walls and a moat. They were having fun, but they were also very tired from the sun and the waves. + +"Let's take a nap," Mia said. "We can sleep under the big umbrella and dream of being kings and queens." + +"OK," Ben agreed. "But first, let's go see the cliff over there. It looks so high and cool. Maybe we can find some shells or rocks." + +They left their castle and walked along the shore, holding hands. They came to the cliff, which was steep and rocky. They saw some birds flying and some crabs crawling. They wanted to climb up and explore, but they were also nervous. + +"Be careful," Mia said. "Don't go too close to the edge. It's dangerous." + +"I know," Ben said. "But look, there's a cave. Maybe there's treasure inside. Let's go check it out." + +They walked into the cave, which was dark and damp. They used their sand toys as flashlights and pretended to be pirates. They found some shiny stones and some old bottles. They were happy and curious. + +But then, they heard a loud roar. It was a bear, and it was angry. It was sleeping in the cave, and they had woken it up. It was big and brown and had sharp teeth and claws. + +"Run!" Ben shouted. "It's a bear! It's going to eat us!" + +They dropped their toys and ran out of the cave, screaming. The bear followed them, growling and snarling. They ran as fast as they could, but the bear was faster. They reached the edge of the cliff, and had nowhere to go. + +"Help!" Mia cried. "We're trapped!" + +They hugged each other and closed their eyes, waiting for the end. + +But then, they heard a voice. It was their mom, and she was calling them. + +"Ben! Mia! Where are you? It's time to wake up!" + +They opened their eyes, and realized it was all a dream. They were still on the beach, under the big umbrella. They had fallen asleep, and had a scary nightmare. + +They saw their mom, who was smiling and holding a picnic basket. She had brought them some sandwiches and juice. + +"Are you OK?" she asked. "You were making a lot of noise. Did you have a bad dream?" + +They nodded, and told her about the bear and the cliff and the cave. She hugged them and kissed them, and told them it was not real. + +"It was just a dream," she said. "There's no bear, and no cliff, and no cave. Just the beach, and the sand, and the sea. And me, and you, and your dad. We're safe and happy." + +They felt better, and smiled. They ate their sandwiches and drank their juice, and thanked their mom. They decided to play some more, but not too far from the umbrella. They didn't want to nap again, and have another nightmare. They wanted to have fun, and enjoy the day. +Tom and Mia are playing knights and princesses in the garden. Tom has a shield made of cardboard and Mia has a crown made of paper. They pretend to fight dragons and save each other. + +"Roar! I am a big dragon and I will eat you!" Tom says, holding his shield in front of him. + +"No, you are not! You are my brave knight and you will save me!" Mia says, hiding behind a tree. + +Tom runs towards Mia, making loud noises. He pretends to hit the dragon with his shield. The dragon falls down and Tom picks up Mia. + +"Are you okay, my princess?" Tom asks, hugging Mia. + +"Yes, thank you, my knight. You are very strong and brave!" Mia says, smiling. + +They hear a voice from the house. It is their mom. + +"Tom, Mia, it is time for lunch. Come inside and wash your hands!" Mom says. + +"Okay, Mom, we are coming!" Tom and Mia say. + +They leave their shield and crown in the garden and run to the house. They are hungry and happy. + +"Mom, we were playing knights and princesses. It was very interesting!" Mia says. + +"Really? That sounds like fun. What did you use for your shield and crown?" Mom asks. + +"We used cardboard and paper. We made them ourselves!" Tom says. + +"Wow, you are very creative. I am proud of you. Now, bring your shield and crown inside. We don't want them to get wet or dirty." Mom says. + +"Okay, Mom, we will bring them inside. Can we play with them again after lunch?" Tom and Mia ask. + +"Sure, you can. But first, eat your lunch and take a nap. You need to rest after your adventure." Mom says. + +Tom and Mia nod and follow Mom to the kitchen. They love playing knights and princesses. They think it is the most interesting game ever. +Lily and Ben were waiting for the zoo bus. They wanted to see the animals, especially the rhinoceros. They had seen a picture of it in a book, and it looked big and strong. + +"Will the rhinoceros be nice?" Lily asked Ben. + +"I don't know," Ben said. "Maybe it will be friendly, maybe it will be grumpy. We have to be careful and not make it angry." + +The zoo bus arrived and they got on. They saw many animals on the way, like monkeys, giraffes, and elephants. They were happy and excited, but also a little nervous. + +They reached the rhinoceros enclosure and got off the bus. They saw a big gray animal with a horn on its nose. It was eating some grass and leaves. + +"Wow, look at that!" Lily said. "It's the rhinoceros!" + +"Hello, rhinoceros!" Ben said. "We came to see you!" + +The rhinoceros looked up and saw them. It snorted and walked towards them. Lily and Ben backed away, scared. + +"Is it going to hurt us?" Lily whispered. + +"I don't think so," Ben said. "Maybe it's just curious. Let's be quiet and still." + +The rhinoceros came closer and sniffed them. It touched them gently with its horn. It seemed to like them. + +"Hi, rhinoceros," Lily said softly. "You're not so scary after all." + +The rhinoceros made a low sound and licked them with its tongue. It was friendly. + +Lily and Ben smiled and petted it. They were not nervous anymore. They had made a new friend. +Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play in the dark. They have a flashlight. They turn off the lights and hide under the bed. + +"Tim, where are you?" Sam asks. + +"I'm here, Sam. Can you see me?" Tim answers. + +Sam lifts the flashlight and looks around. He sees Tim's eyes shine in the dark. He laughs. + +"Boo!" Tim says and jumps out of the bed. He tries to scare Sam. + +Sam is not scared. He lifts the flashlight and shines it on Tim's face. He laughs. + +"Boo!" Sam says and runs to the door. He tries to escape. + +Tim is fast. He runs after Sam. He wants to catch him. + +Sam is slow. He trips on a toy. He falls to the floor. + +"Ouch!" Sam says and cries. + +Tim stops. He feels sorry for Sam. He lifts the flashlight and goes to Sam. He helps him up. + +"Are you okay, Sam?" Tim asks. + +"Yes, Tim. I'm okay. Thank you." Sam says. + +They hug. They are friends again. + +They turn on the lights and put away the flashlight. They go to bed. They sleep. +Lily was a little girl who liked to play in the park. She had a big red ball that she threw and caught. One day, she saw a funny animal in the park. It had a long nose, big ears and gray skin. It was an elephant. + +Lily wanted to see the elephant more. She ran after it and said, "Hello, elephant! Can I play with you?" The elephant looked at Lily and made a loud noise. It was a trunk. The elephant used its trunk to pick up some leaves from a palm tree. It ate the leaves and smiled. + +Lily thought the elephant was nice. She followed it to a pond. The elephant sprayed water on itself with its trunk. Lily laughed and clapped. She said, "You are so funny, elephant! Can I spray water too?" The elephant nodded and gave Lily some water with its trunk. Lily sprayed water on herself and the elephant. They were both wet and happy. + +But then, a mean man came to the park. He had a gun and a rope. He wanted to catch the elephant and take it away. He said, "That is my elephant! It is ugly and old. I will sell it for money." He pointed his gun at the elephant and pulled the rope. + +Lily was scared and angry. She said, "No, no, no! That is not your elephant! It is my friend! It is not ugly and old. It is beautiful and kind. You are ugly and mean. Go away!" She threw her ball at the man. The ball hit his head and made him drop his gun and rope. + +The elephant was brave and strong. It used its trunk to push the man away. It said, "Thank you, Lily! You are a good friend. You saved me. I love you." It hugged Lily with its trunk and kissed her cheek. + +Lily was happy and proud. She said, "I love you too, elephant. You are my best friend. Let's play some more." They played in the park until the sun went down. They were both happy and free. +Lila and Ben are twins. They like to play in the park with their mom. One day, they see a big red truck with a lot of ice cream. They run to the truck and ask for ice cream. + +"Can we have ice cream, mom?" they say. + +"Sure, but be careful. The ice cream is very cold. It can hurt your lip if you eat it too fast," mom warns. + +Lila and Ben nod. They choose their favorite flavors. Lila picks chocolate and Ben picks vanilla. They pay the man and get their ice cream cones. + +They lick their ice cream and smile. It is delicious. They sit on a bench and enjoy their treat. + +But Ben is too greedy. He wants to eat his ice cream faster. He takes a big bite and feels a sharp pain in his lip. + +"Ow! Ow! Ow!" he cries. + +Lila looks at him and sees his lip is red and swollen. She feels sorry for him. + +"Ben, you ate too fast. Mom warned you. Now your lip is hurt. Let me see," she says. + +She moves closer to him and tries to help him. She blows on his lip and gives him a hug. + +"It's okay, Ben. It will get better soon. Next time, listen to mom. Eat your ice cream slowly and enjoy it," she says. + +Ben nods and sniffles. He is still in pain, but he feels better with Lila's help. He learns his lesson. He says sorry to mom and thanks Lila. + +They finish their ice cream and go back to play. They have fun in the park. They are happy twins. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to jump on the swings and slide down the slide. They saw some big kids playing with toy guns and making loud noises. They looked like they were having a war. + +"Can we play with them?" Lily asked Ben. + +Ben shook his head. "No, they are too big and too mean. They will not share their toys. And war is not fun. It is scary and bad." + +Lily nodded. She did not like scary and bad things. She liked fun and good things. She liked to play with Ben. He was her best friend. + +"Let's go to the sandbox," Ben said. "We can make a castle and a moat. And we can use our shovels and buckets." + +Lily smiled. She liked the sandbox. It was soft and warm. She liked to make things with sand. She liked to use her shovel and bucket. + +They ran to the sandbox and started to build their castle and moat. They forgot about the big kids and their war. They were happy and comfortable. They had fun and good times. +Anna liked to read books. She had many books in her room. She read books about animals, and books about people, and books about places. She learned new words from books. + +One day, Anna found a big book in the attic. It was a book about lumber. Lumber was wood that people cut from trees. People used lumber to make houses, and boats, and toys. Anna wanted to read the book about lumber. + +She opened the book and saw many pictures. She saw pictures of trees, and axes, and saws. She saw pictures of people working with lumber. She saw pictures of lumber piles, and lumber trucks, and lumber mills. She saw pictures of things made from lumber. + +Anna read the words under the pictures. She read words like "pine", and "oak", and "cedar". She read words like "chop", and "split", and "nail". She read words like "plank", and "beam", and "log". She read words like "cabin", and "ship", and "train". She read words like "lumberjack", and "carpenter", and "engineer". She read many new words from the book about lumber. + +Anna liked the book about lumber. She liked to learn new things. She liked to imagine how people used lumber. She liked to pretend she was a lumberjack, or a carpenter, or an engineer. She liked to make things from lumber. + +She looked around the attic and saw some lumber. She saw some old planks, and some broken beams, and some small logs. She had an idea. She took some lumber and some nails and a hammer.

It is mine now. I like it and I want it. Please, let me keep it." + +Mom shook her head and said, "No, Lily, you have to be a good girl and do the right thing. The whistle belongs to someone else.

They cannot agree on which video to watch. + +"Let's watch the animal video," Sara says. "It is fun and kind. The animals are cute and friendly." + +"No, let's watch the car video," Ben says. "It is cool and fast. The cars are shiny and loud." + +They start to argue and pull on the videos. Sara's mom hears them and comes to the room. + +"Stop, stop!" Sara's mom says. "You are not being kind to each other. You need to share and take turns. How about you watch one video now and the other video later?" + +Sara and Ben think about it. They do not want to fight. They want to be kind and have fun. + +"Okay," Sara says. "We can watch the car video now. You can choose first, Ben." + +"Thank you, Sara," Ben says. "You are a good friend. We can watch the animal video later. You can choose next, Sara." + +Sara and Ben smile and hug. They remove the animal video from the shelf and put the car video in the player. They sit on the couch and watch the video together. They are happy and kind. Sara's mom is proud of them. +Anna and Ben were friends. They liked to play in the park. On Sunday, they went to the park with their moms. They saw a big slide, a swing, and a sandbox. + +"Let's go to the slide!" Anna said. + +"OK!" Ben said. + +They ran to the slide and took turns to slide down. They had fun. Then they saw a big tree with many leaves. + +"Look, there is a hidden place under the tree!" Ben said. + +"Let's go and see!" Anna said. + +They went to the tree and crawled under the leaves. They found a small hole in the trunk. They peeked inside. + +"Wow, there is a treasure in there!" Anna said. + +She saw a shiny box with a lock. She wanted to open it. + +"Maybe there is a key somewhere!" Ben said. + +They looked around the hole. They saw a small metal thing with a shape. + +"Is this the key?" Ben asked. + +"Let's try!" Anna said. + +They took the metal thing and put it in the lock. It fit. They turned it and heard a click. They opened the box. + +"Wow, there are candies in there!" Anna said. + +They saw many colorful candies wrapped in paper. They smiled. + +"Someone must have left them here for us!" Ben said. + +"Or maybe it is a trap!" Anna said. + +They heard a loud roar. They turned around and saw a big bear coming out of the bushes. It had a red scarf around its neck. It looked angry. + +"Run!" Anna and Ben shouted. + +They dropped the box and ran out of the tree. They ran to their moms and hugged them. They were scared. + +The bear picked up the box and opened it. It ate the candies. It was happy. It had set up the trap for the kids. It liked to play tricks on them. It laughed. +Sara and Tom are playing with blocks. They want to make a big tower. They put one block on top of another block. They are happy. + +"Look, our tower is so high!" Sara says. + +"Yes, it is!" Tom says. + +They find more blocks. They set them on the tower. The tower is higher and higher. They are very happy. + +But then, a cat comes. The cat is curious. The cat jumps on the table. The cat sees the tower. The cat wants to play with the tower. + +"Meow!" the cat says. + +The cat pushes the tower with its paw. The tower falls down. The blocks go everywhere. Sara and Tom are sad. + +"Bad cat!" Sara says. + +"Go away, cat!" Tom says. + +The cat runs away. Sara and Tom look at the mess. They do not know what to do. + +Then, Mom comes. Mom sees the blocks. Mom sees Sara and Tom. Mom is helpful. + +"Did you make a tower?" Mom asks. + +"Yes, we did. But the cat knocked it down." Sara says. + +"That's too bad. Do you want to make another tower?" Mom asks. + +"Yes, we do. But we need more blocks." Tom says. + +"I have an idea. Why don't we use these books? They are bigger and stronger than blocks. And they have pictures and words. You can learn from them." Mom says. + +Mom shows them some books. Sara and Tom like the books. They set the books on the table. They make a new tower. The tower is bigger and stronger than before. They are very happy. + +"Look, our tower is so high!" Sara says. + +"Yes, it is! And it has a tip. See, this book is on the tip. It is about animals. Do you like animals?" Tom says. + +"Yes, I do. I like dogs and birds and fish. What do you like?" Sara says. + +"I like cats and lions and bears. But not the cat that knocked down our tower. That was a naughty cat." Tom says. + +They laugh. They look at the books. They learn about animals. They have fun. + +Mom smiles. She is proud of Sara and Tom. They are helpful. They help each other. They help Mom. They clean up the blocks. They put the books back. They hug Mom. + +"Thank you, Mom. You are helpful. You helped us make a new tower. You helped us learn new things." Sara and Tom say. + +"You're welcome, Sara and Tom. You are helpful too. You helped me tidy up. You helped me be happy. I love you." Mom says. + +They love Mom. They love each other. They love their tower. They are happy. +Tom and Tim are twins. They like to play with their toys. But sometimes they fight over the same toy. One day, they both want the red car. They pull and tug on the car. The car is broken. Tom and Tim are sad. + +"Sorry, Tim. I did not want to break the car." Tom says. + +"Sorry, Tom. I did not want to break the car, too." Tim says. + +They hug and say they are sorry. They look for another toy to play with. They see a big ball. They both like the ball. They run to the ball. They kick and roll the ball. They have fun. + +But then, a big dog comes. The dog likes the ball, too. The dog runs to the ball. The dog bites the ball. The ball is broken. The dog runs away. Tom and Tim are sad again. + +"Bad dog! Why did you bite our ball?" Tom says. + +"Bad dog! Go away! Leave our toys alone!" Tim says. + +They cry and hug each other. They look for another toy to play with. They see a book. They both like the book. They sit and read the book. They see pictures of animals and colors and shapes. They learn new words. They are happy. + +The end. +Lily and Ben like to play with blocks. They have many blocks of different colors and shapes. They can make houses, cars, animals and more with their blocks. They are happy when they play with blocks. + +One day, a new boy comes to their school. His name is Sam. He has a big bag of blocks too. But his blocks are not like Lily and Ben's blocks. His blocks are all the same color and shape. They are gray and square. They look cheap and boring. + +Sam sees Lily and Ben playing with their blocks. He wants to join them. He says, "Can I play with you? I have blocks too." He shows them his bag of blocks. Lily and Ben look at his blocks. They do not like them. They think they have no value. They say, "No, you can't play with us. Your blocks are cheap and ugly. Go away." + +Sam feels sad and angry. He does not understand why they do not like his blocks. He thinks his blocks are good and fun. He says, "My blocks are not cheap and ugly. They are special and smart. I can make anything with them. You are mean and rude. I don't want to play with you." + +He goes to another corner of the room. He takes out his blocks and starts to build something. He does not care what Lily and Ben think. He is happy when he plays with his blocks. He makes a big rocket with his blocks. It is gray and square, but it is also tall and strong. He is proud of his rocket. + +Lily and Ben see his rocket. They are surprised and curious. They think his rocket looks cool and fun. They want to see it closer. They say, "Wow, what is that? Can we see your rocket? Can we join you?" They go to his corner of the room. They smile and ask him nicely. + +Sam sees them coming. He feels happy and friendly. He thinks they are not mean and rude anymore. He says, "This is my rocket. I made it with my blocks. You can see it and join me. We can play together." He shows them his rocket. He tells them how he made it. He lets them touch it and play with it. + +Lily and Ben like his rocket. They think it is amazing and clever. They say, "Your rocket is awesome and smart. We are sorry we were mean and rude. Your blocks are not cheap and ugly. They are special and smart. You can make anything with them. You are good and kind. We want to play with you." + +They become friends. They play with their blocks together. They make more things with their blocks. They have fun and learn from each other. They are happy when they play with blocks. +Lily and Tom were hungry. They wanted to eat lunch. But Mom was busy. She was a woman who worked on a computer. She had many things to do. + +"Mom, can we have lunch?" Lily asked. + +"Not now, sweetie. I have to finish this report. Maybe in half an hour," Mom said. + +Lily and Tom were sad. They did not want to wait. They looked around the kitchen. They saw some bread and cheese. They saw some apples and bananas. They saw some juice and water. + +"Let's make our own lunch," Tom said. + +"OK, but we have to be quiet. We don't want to bother Mom," Lily said. + +They took some bread and cheese and made sandwiches. They took some apples and bananas and cut them into pieces. They took some juice and water and poured them into cups. They put everything on a tray. They carried the tray to the living room. They sat on the floor and ate their lunch. + +They were happy. They liked their lunch. They smiled and clapped. + +"Yummy, yummy, yummy," they said. + +Mom heard them. She looked at them. She saw the tray. She saw the sandwiches. She saw the fruits. She saw the drinks. She was surprised. She was proud. She was hungry. + +"Wow, you made your own lunch. That's amazing. You are very clever and helpful," Mom said. + +She joined them on the floor. She took a sandwich. She took a fruit. She took a drink. She ate with them. + +They were happier. They liked to share their lunch. They smiled and clapped. + +"Yummy, yummy, yummy," they said. +Sam and Ben are brothers. They like to play outside in the yard. They have a big tent and a ball. They pretend they are camping in the woods. + +One day, Sam has an idea. He says to Ben, "Let's play a game. You are a bear and I am a hunter. I will try to catch you and you will try to run away. OK?" + +Ben nods. He likes to play games. He says, "OK, but you have to be fair. You can't use the tent or the ball. Only your hands and feet." + +Sam agrees. He says, "OK, fair enough. You go inside the tent and I will count to ten. Then I will come and find you. Ready?" + +Ben runs inside the tent and hides under a blanket. He waits for Sam to count. He hears Sam say, "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. Here I come!" + +Sam looks around the yard. He does not see Ben. He thinks Ben is very good at hiding. He walks towards the tent. He is alert. He knows Ben might jump out and scare him. + +He reaches the tent and opens the flap. He sees a lump under the blanket. He thinks it is Ben. He says, "Aha, I found you, bear! You can't hide from me!" + +He grabs the blanket and pulls it off. But it is not Ben. It is a big, furry, brown thing. It has a nose, ears, eyes, and teeth. It is a real bear! + +Sam is scared. He drops the blanket and runs away. He screams, "Help, help, there is a bear in the tent!" + +Ben hears Sam scream. He is confused. He is not in the tent. He is behind the pitch. He wanted to trick Sam and make him think he was in the tent. He put his teddy bear under the blanket. He thought it would be funny. + +He looks at the tent. He sees the bear come out. He is shocked. He says, "Oh no, that is not my teddy bear. That is a real bear!" + +He runs after Sam. He says, "Sam, Sam, wait for me! I'm sorry, I didn't know there was a real bear!" + +They run to the house. They tell their mom what happened. She is surprised. She says, "A bear in the tent? How did that happen?" + +She calls the animal control. They come and take the bear away. They say the bear was lost and hungry. They say they will take it to a safe place. + +Sam and Ben are relieved. They hug each other. They say, "We are sorry, we didn't mean to play a dangerous game. We are glad we are OK." + +They decide to play a different game. They suggest to play with their cars and trucks. They think it is safer and more fun. They say, "No more bears, please!" +Anna likes to play with her model cars. She has many cars of different colors and sizes. She likes to make them race on the floor or park them in her garage. + +One day, she gets a new model car from her grandma. It is a big red car with shiny wheels and a loud horn. Anna is very happy and thanks her grandma. She wants to play with her new car right away. + +She takes her new car to the floor and tries to make it fit in her garage. But the car is too big. It does not fit in the garage. Anna tries to push it harder, but it still does not fit. She feels sad and frustrated. + +She calls her mom and says, "Mom, my new car does not fit in my garage. What can I do?" + +Her mom comes and looks at the car and the garage. She says, "Anna, your new car is very nice, but it is too big for your garage. Maybe you can find another place to park it. How about on the table or on the shelf?" + +Anna thinks for a moment. She says, "OK, mom. I can park it on the table. Then I can see it better and it can watch me play with my other cars." + +She picks up her new car and puts it on the table. She smiles and says, "There, now it fits. Thank you, mom." + +Her mom smiles and says, "You're welcome, Anna. I'm glad you like your new car. Have fun playing with it and your other cars." + +Anna hugs her mom and says, "I love you, mom. And I love my new car." + +The end. +Sara and Ben wanted to make a cake for Mom. They found a big bowl and a spoon in the kitchen. They poured some flour, sugar, eggs and milk in the bowl. They tried to stir the mix, but it was very hard. + +"Stir faster, Ben!" Sara said. + +"I can't, Sara! The spoon is too tight in my hand!" Ben said. + +They pulled and pushed the spoon, but it did not move. They looked at the bowl and saw that the mix was very cold. It was frozen! + +"Oh no! The mix is cold! How did that happen?" Sara asked. + +They remembered that they took the eggs and milk from the freezer, not the fridge. They did not know the difference. They thought they were the same. + +"Mom will be so mad at us! We ruined the cake!" Ben said. + +They started to cry. They heard Mom coming from the living room. They hid behind the table. + +"Hello, my sweeties! What are you doing in the kitchen?" Mom asked. + +She saw the bowl and the spoon on the counter. She smiled. + +"Are you trying to make a cake for me? That is so sweet of you! But you used the wrong ingredients. You need to use fresh eggs and milk, not frozen ones. That's why the mix is cold and hard. Don't worry, we can fix it. Come here, let me help you." Mom said. + +She took the bowl and the spoon and put them in the sink. She ran some warm water over them. She took out some fresh eggs and milk from the fridge. She gave them to Sara and Ben. + +"Here, try again. This time, the mix will be soft and smooth. You can stir it easily. And then we can bake it in the oven. It will be a delicious cake!" Mom said. + +Sara and Ben smiled. They hugged Mom and said sorry. They took the eggs and milk and cracked and poured them in a new bowl. They stirred the mix with the spoon. It was easy and fun. + +"Thank you, Mom! You are the best!" Sara and Ben said. + +"You are welcome, my sweeties! You are the best, too! I love you!" Mom said. +Tom and Lily liked to play with their toy animals. They had a big elephant, a small lion, a fast zebra and a loud monkey. They made noises and stories with their toys every day. + +One day, Tom wanted to play a new game. He said, "Let's make the elephant and the lion fight. The elephant is strong and the lion is brave. Who will win?" Lily did not like this game. She said, "No, that is not nice. The elephant and the lion are friends. They do not fight. They help each other." + +Tom did not listen to Lily. He took the elephant and the lion and made them hit each other. He said, "The elephant is bigger and can push the lion. The lion is smaller and can bite the elephant. They are angry and want to win." Lily was sad and scared. She said, "Stop, Tom, stop. You are hurting the toys. They do not like to fight. They like to play." + +But Tom did not stop. He made the elephant and the lion fight harder and harder. He did not see that the monkey was watching from the shelf. The monkey was also sad and scared. He did not like to see his friends fight. He wanted to help them. + +The monkey had a plan. He waited until Tom was not looking. Then he jumped from the shelf and grabbed the clear glass of water that was on the table. He threw the water on Tom and the toys. Tom was surprised and wet. He dropped the elephant and the lion. He said, "Hey, what are you doing, monkey? That is not fair. You made me wet." + +The monkey smiled and said, "That is what you get for making the elephant and the lion fight. They are not your toys to hurt. They are your friends to love. Fighting is not fun. Playing is fun. Now say sorry and be nice." + +Tom felt sorry and ashamed. He said, "I'm sorry, monkey. I'm sorry, elephant. I'm sorry, lion. I was wrong to make you fight. You are my friends and I love you. Can we play together again?" + +Lily was happy and proud. She said, "Yes, we can play together again. But no more fighting games. Let's play nice games. Like hide and seek, or tag, or make believe. Those are fun games." + +The elephant, the lion, the zebra and the monkey agreed. They hugged Tom and Lily and said, "We forgive you, Tom. We are glad you are our friend. Let's play nice games. Those are fun games." + +And they all played nice games and had fun. The end. +Ben was sick. He had a fever and a cough. He did not want to eat or play. His mom gave him some medicine and put a thermometer in his mouth. She said, "You have to stay in bed and rest, Ben. The thermometer will tell us how hot you are." + +Ben did not like the thermometer. It was hard and cold and made him gag. He wanted to spit it out. He saw his sister, Lily, in the doorway. She was lively and happy. She had a toy in her hand. It was a yellow duck that squeaked when you poked it. + +"Hi, Ben," Lily said. "Do you want to play with my duck? It is fun. Watch." She poked the duck and it made a loud noise. "Squeak, squeak, squeak!" + +Ben smiled a little. He liked the duck. He wanted to poke it too. He reached for it, but his mom stopped him. + +"Ben, no," his mom said. "You have to keep the thermometer in your mouth. It is not time to play. You have to get better first." + +Ben felt sad. He did not want to keep the thermometer in his mouth. He wanted to play with the duck. He thought his mom was mean. He pouted and turned away. + +Lily saw that Ben was sad. She felt sorry for him. She wanted to make him happy. She had an idea. She said, "Ben, I have a gift for you. It is a special duck. It is not like mine. It is a magic duck. It can make you feel better. Do you want to see it?" + +Ben was curious. He nodded. He wanted to see the magic duck. + +Lily gave him the duck. It was a different color. It was red and white. It had a round tip on its beak. It looked like a thermometer. + +"Here, Ben," Lily said. "This is the magic duck. It can help you. You have to put it in your mouth like this." She showed him how to put the duck in his mouth. She said, "The magic duck will make you cooler and happier. It will also make a funny noise when you poke it. Try it." + +Ben did what Lily said. He put the magic duck in his mouth. He poked it and it made a funny noise. "Beep, beep, beep!" + +Ben laughed. He liked the magic duck. He felt cooler and happier. He poked it again and again. "Beep, beep, beep!" + +His mom smiled. She was glad that Lily was clever and kind. She said, "Lily, you are a good sister. You made Ben feel better. You also tricked him into using the thermometer. That was smart." + +Lily smiled too. She said, "Thank you, mom. I love Ben. I want him to be well. I also want him to have fun. The magic duck can do both." + +Ben and Lily hugged. They played with the magic duck until Ben fell asleep. He dreamed of lively ducks that squeaked and beeped. + +The moral of the story is: Sometimes, a little trick can help someone who is sick. It can also show them that you care. +Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run, slide and swing. They also liked to look for things in the grass and the trees. Sometimes they found feathers, stones or leaves. + +One day, they saw something shiny under a bush. They ran to see what it was. It was a cap. A brown cap with a star on it. Ben picked it up and put it on his head. + +"Look, Lily, I found a cap!" he said. + +"Wow, Ben, you look like a cowboy!" Lily said. + +"Yee-haw!" Ben said. He pretended to ride a horse and waved his cap in the air. + +Lily laughed and clapped her hands. She wanted to try the cap too. She asked Ben if she could wear it. + +"Please, Ben, can I have a turn?" she said. + +"OK, Lily, you can have a turn. But only for a little while. I like this cap. It is my cap now." Ben said. + +He gave the cap to Lily. She put it on her head and smiled. She also pretended to ride a horse and waved the cap in the air. + +"Yee-haw!" Lily said. + +Ben and Lily had fun with the cap. They discovered a new game. They were happy. +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 soon they felt tired and bored. + +"Let's do something else," Ben said. "Let's go outside and see the birds and the flowers." + +Lily nodded. She liked the outside. She grabbed her coat and followed Ben to the door. But their mom stopped them. + +"Where are you going?" she asked. "It's almost time for your nap." + +Ben and Lily made a face. They did not want to nap. They wanted to play. + +"Please, mom, can we go outside for a little bit?" Ben begged. "We'll be good and come back soon." + +Mom shook her head. "No, you need to rest. You've been playing all morning. You'll be cranky and hungry if you don't nap." + +Ben and Lily sighed. They knew mom was right. But they still wanted to go outside. + +Then Lily had an idea. She whispered something in Ben's ear. Ben smiled. He liked Lily's idea. + +"Okay, mom, we'll nap," Lily said. "But can we nap on the couch? It's more comfy." + +Mom looked at them. She thought they were being harmless and sweet. She agreed. + +"Okay, you can nap on the couch. But only for an hour. Then you have to get up and eat lunch." + +Ben and Lily thanked mom and ran to the couch. They grabbed a blanket and a pillow and lay down. They pretended to close their eyes and snore. + +But as soon as mom left the room, they opened their eyes and giggled. They had a secret plan. They waited for a few minutes, then they got up and tiptoed to the door. They opened it quietly and slipped outside. + +They ran to the garden and played with the birds and the flowers. They felt happy and free. They forgot about their nap and their mom. + +But they did not forget about the time. They knew they had to go back soon. They did not want to get in trouble. + +They ran back to the couch and lay down again. They closed their eyes and snored. They hoped mom would not notice. + +But mom did notice. She saw the dirt on their shoes and the grass in their hair. She was not happy. She woke them up and scolded them. + +"Why did you go outside without permission?" she asked. "You lied to me. You did not nap. You were naughty." + +Ben and Lily felt sorry. They knew they did something wrong. They apologized to mom and hugged her. + +"We're sorry, mom," they said. "We just wanted to play. We had an idea. But it was a bad idea. We won't do it again." + +Mom forgave them. She loved them. She knew they were curious and adventurous. But she also wanted them to be safe and respectful. + +She gave them lunch and a glass of milk. She told them to wash their hands and face. She told them to nap for real this time. + +Ben and Lily agreed. They were hungry and tired. They ate their lunch and drank their milk. They washed their hands and face. They went to their beds and napped for real. + +They dreamed of the birds and the flowers. They dreamed of playing outside. But they also dreamed of mom. They dreamed of her smile and her hug. They dreamed of being good and happy. +Lily liked to skip. She skipped to school, she skipped to the park, she skipped to the store. She skipped everywhere she went, because it made her happy and fast. + +One day, she wanted to skip to the library. She loved the library, because it had many books with pictures and stories. She asked her mom if she could go. + +"Sure, Lily, you can go to the library. But you have to be quiet and thoughtful there. Do you know what that means?" her mom said. + +Lily nodded. She knew that quiet meant not to talk loud or make noise. She knew that thoughtful meant to be nice and careful with the books and the people. + +"Okay, mom, I will be quiet and thoughtful. Can I skip to the library?" Lily said. + +"Yes, you can skip to the library. But be careful of the cars and the street. Hold my hand when we cross, okay?" her mom said. + +"Okay, mom, I will hold your hand. Let's go!" Lily said. + +Lily and her mom skipped to the library. Lily was quiet and thoughtful. She picked a book with a princess and a dragon. She sat on a big chair and looked at the pictures. She was happy. She loved to skip and she loved the library. +Tom and Lily are playing in the garden. They have a big box and some toys. They pretend the box is a car and they drive to different places. + +"Where do you want to go next?" Tom asks Lily. + +"I want to go to the zoo," Lily says. "I want to see the monkeys and the lions and the elephants." + +"Okay, let's go to the zoo," Tom says. He makes a noise like a car engine and turns the box around. + +They drive to the zoo and see many animals. They make noises like the animals and have fun. + +"Look, there is a giraffe," Lily says. "It has a long neck and spots." + +"Yes, and there is a zebra," Tom says. "It has stripes and a tail." + +They drive to the next cage and see a big bear. The bear is brown and furry and has a wet nose. + +"Hello, bear," Tom says. "Do you want to play with us?" + +The bear does not answer. It looks at Tom and Lily and growls. + +"Uh-oh, I think the bear is hungry," Lily says. "Maybe it wants a meal." + +"What do you think the bear likes to eat?" Tom asks Lily. + +Lily thinks for a moment. She guesses what the bear likes to eat. + +"I think the bear likes to eat honey," she says. "Honey is sweet and sticky and yellow." + +Tom thinks for a moment. He guesses what the bear likes to eat. + +"I think the bear likes to eat fish," he says. "Fish are wet and slippery and have scales." + +They look at the bear and see what it does. The bear sniffs the air and walks to a bowl. The bowl has some food in it. + +"What is that?" Lily asks. + +Tom looks at the bowl and sees what it is. + +"It is not honey and it is not fish," he says. "It is something else." + +They watch the bear eat the food. The food is brown and round and has a hole in the middle. + +"It is a donut," Lily says. "The bear likes to eat donuts." + +Tom and Lily laugh. They think the bear is funny and silly. + +They drive away from the zoo and go to another place. They have more adventures and more fun. They are happy and they are friends. +Sam was miserable. He had to go to the store with his mom and dad. He did not like the store. It was big and loud and boring. He wanted to stay home and play with his toys. + +But mom and dad said he had to go. They said they needed to buy food and clothes and other things. Sam did not care about those things. He just wanted to have fun. + +When they got to the store, Sam had to sit in the cart. He could not run or jump or touch anything. He had to be quiet and good. He hated it. + +He looked around and saw nothing interesting. Just shelves and racks and people. He wished he was somewhere else. + +Then he had an idea. He decided to imagine. He closed his eyes and pretended he was in a different place. A place where he could do whatever he wanted. + +He imagined he was in a jungle. He saw green trees and colorful birds and funny monkeys. He heard them make noises and swing from vines. He felt the warm sun and the cool breeze. He smiled and laughed. + +He imagined he was in a castle. He saw tall towers and shiny armor and beautiful flags. He heard trumpets and horses and knights. He felt brave and strong and noble. He waved and cheered. + +He imagined he was in a spaceship. He saw stars and planets and aliens. He heard beeps and blasts and rockets. He felt curious and adventurous and smart. He zoomed and explored. + +He imagined he was in a candy land. He saw chocolate and gummy and lollipop. He heard crunch and chew and yum. He felt sweet and happy and full. He tasted and enjoyed. + +He opened his eyes and saw his mom and dad. They were smiling and holding a bag. They said they were done and they could go home. Sam was surprised. He did not notice the time. He was too busy imagining. + +He was not miserable anymore. He was glad. He learned that he could have fun anywhere. He just had to use his imagination. He hugged his mom and dad and thanked them. He was ready to go home and play with his toys. And imagine some more. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to travel with their mom and dad. They go to many places and see many things. One day, they travel to a big land with many animals. They see a kangaroo. + +"Wow, look at that kangaroo!" Lily says. "It can jump very high and fast. Can we pet it, mom?" + +Mom shakes her head. "No, Lily, we can't pet the kangaroo. It is wild and it might be scared of us. We have to be careful and respectful." + +Ben nods. He takes out his camera and snaps a picture of the kangaroo. He thinks it is very cool and cute. He wants to show it to his friends at home. + +But the kangaroo does not like the camera. It thinks it is rude and noisy. It hops towards Ben and kicks his camera out of his hand. It lands on the ground and breaks. + +"Hey, that's not nice!" Ben cries. "That's my camera! You are a rude kangaroo!" + +The kangaroo snorts and hops away. It does not care about Ben or his camera. It only cares about its own space. + +Mom and dad run to Ben and hug him. They are sorry that his camera is broken. They tell him that the kangaroo did not mean to hurt him. It was just scared and angry. + +Lily feels sorry for Ben too. She gives him her camera and says, "Here, Ben, you can have my camera. I don't need it. You can take more pictures of other animals.

They see a koala, a wombat, and a platypus. They are all very nice and friendly. They do not kick or snort. They let Lily and Ben take pictures of them. Lily and Ben are happy.

She thinks it is fun. She nods and smiles. "Yes, Tom, yes!" she says. "I want to try. Can I ride with you?" + +Tom and Mia share the black case. They take turns to ride on it. They go up and down the hill. They go left and right. They laugh and shout. They have a lot of fun. + +But then, they see a big dog. The dog is brown and furry. The dog barks and runs after them. Tom and Mia are scared. They ride faster and faster. They try to get away from the dog. + +"Help, help!" Tom and Mia cry. "The dog is chasing us. What can we do?" + +They see a fence. The fence is high and strong. They ride towards the fence. They hope the dog cannot jump over the fence. They reach the fence and stop. They look back. The dog is still behind them. But the dog cannot jump over the fence. The dog stops and whines. Tom and Mia are safe. + +"Phew, phew!" Tom and Mia sigh. "We are safe. The dog cannot get us. That was scary. But that was also fun. Do you want to ride again?" + +Tom and Mia look at each other. They grin and nod. They ride again. They are brave and happy. They are friends. +Lily loves animals. She wants to be a veterinarian when she grows up. She likes to play with her stuffed animals and pretend they are sick.

She runs to her mom and says, "Mom, I found a bird. It is cold and sick. I want to help it. Can I be a veterinarian?" + +Mom looks at the bird and smiles. She says, "You are very kind, Lily. You can be a veterinarian. But first, we need to take the bird to a real veterinarian. He can check the bird and give it medicine. Maybe the bird is just tired and hungry. Come on, let's go." + +Lily and mom get in the car and drive to the animal clinic. There, they meet Dr. Lee, a friendly veterinarian. He takes the bird and examines it. He says, "This bird is a sparrow. It is a common bird that lives in the city. Sometimes, they fly into windows and get hurt. This bird has a bruise on its head, but it is not serious. It just needs some rest and food. You did a good job, Lily. You are a very smart and caring veterinarian." + +Lily is happy. She says, "Thank you, Dr. Lee. Can I visit the bird again?" Dr. Lee says, "Of course. You can come back tomorrow and see how the bird is doing. Maybe you can even help me feed it. How does that sound?" Lily says, "That sounds great. I love animals. I want to be a veterinarian like you." Dr. Lee says, "You can be anything you want, Lily. Just keep learning and loving animals. They need people like you." Lily hugs Dr. Lee and mom. She is excited to see the bird again. She thinks being a veterinarian is the best thing ever. +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They had a big bucket of water and some cups. They poured water on the flowers, the grass and each other. They laughed and splashed. + +"Look, Ben, I have a knife!" Lily said. She showed him a little plastic knife that she found in the sandbox. "I can cut the water!" + +She tried to cut the water in the bucket, but it did not work. The water just moved and made a sound. "Why can't I cut the water?" Lily asked. + +"Because water is wet, silly!" Ben said. "You can only cut things that are dry, like bread or paper or wood." + +Lily thought for a moment. She looked around the garden and saw a big tree. She ran to the tree and tried to cut it with her knife. But it did not work either. The tree was too hard and the knife was too soft. "Why can't I cut the tree?" Lily asked. + +"Because the tree is big, silly!" Ben said. "You can only cut things that are little, like a carrot or a cheese or a flower." + +Lily thought again. She looked around the garden and saw a flower. She ran to the flower and tried to cut it with her knife. And it worked! The flower came off the stem and fell to the ground. Lily was happy. She had cut something that was dry and little. + +"Look, Ben, I cut the flower!" Lily said. She showed him the flower and the knife. + +"Wow, Lily, you did it!" Ben said. He clapped his hands. "But don't cut any more flowers, okay? They are pretty and they make the bees happy." + +Lily nodded. She put the knife back in the sandbox and gave the flower to Ben. They hugged and went back to play with the water. They were happy too. +Tom liked to open things. He opened boxes, jars, doors, and books. He wanted to see what was inside.

It had feathers, a beak, and two legs. It looked at Tom with its small eyes. Tom was surprised. He had never seen a chicken before. + +He reached out his hand to touch the chicken. The chicken did not like that. It pecked Tom's hand. It hurt. Tom cried. He dropped the cloth and ran away. The chicken jumped out of the basket. It ran around the kitchen. It made a lot of noise. + +Mom heard the noise. She came to the kitchen. She saw the chicken and the basket. She knew what had happened. She was not happy. She caught the chicken and put it back in the basket. She went to find Tom. + +She found Tom in his room. He was holding his hand. He had a tear on his cheek. Mom hugged him and kissed his hand. She asked him what he did. Tom was honest. He told her he opened the basket and saw the chicken. He said he was sorry. Mom said it was okay. She said the chicken was a gift for Grandma. She said they would go to Grandma's house and give her the chicken. She said Tom could help her feed the chicken. Tom smiled. He liked Grandma. He liked to help. He learned not to open things that were not his. He learned to be careful with animals. He and Mom went to the kitchen. They took the basket and the chicken. They got in the car. They drove to Grandma's house. The end. +Lily was a smart girl who liked to play with her bucket. She filled it with water, sand, rocks and leaves. She made shapes and castles with her bucket.

She gave him a smile and a name: Max. + +She showed her creation to her mom and dad. They smiled and said it was very nice. They asked her why she wanted a brother. Lila said, "Because I'm lonely. And because I want someone tough who can scare away the mean kids at the park." + +Mom and dad hugged her and said, "We understand, Lila. But you know, you don't need a brother to be happy. You have us, and you have your sister, who will grow up and be your friend. And you have yourself, who is brave and smart and kind. You can stand up to the mean kids, or you can ignore them, or you can make new friends. You are tough enough, Lila." + +Lila thought about what they said. She looked at her creation and then at her sister, who was sleeping in her crib. She felt a warm feeling in her heart. She said, "You're right, mom and dad. I don't need a brother. I have a family. And I have Max, who is my imaginary brother. He can play with me in my head, and he can be tough when I need him. But he can't hug me like you can. Thank you for loving me." + +She gave her mom and dad a big hug and a kiss. Then she put her creation on the wall, next to her other drawings. She smiled and said, "Good night, Max. I'll see you in my dreams." +Tim and Mia like to play with their toy boat and pretend they are pirates. They have a big box that they use as a treasure chest.

She wraps Tim in the towel and hugs him. She says "Don't worry, Tim. It's just a spider. It can't hurt you. I will get rid of it." + +She picks up a plastic cup and traps the spider inside. She takes it to the window and lets it go outside. She says "Bye-bye, spider. Go find a new home." + +She comes back to Tim and smiles. She says "There. The spider is gone. Are you okay, Tim?" + +Tim nods and smiles back. He says "Thank you, Mia. You are a good pirate. And a good sister." + +They hug and laugh.

You are a good seeker!" Lily said, clapping her hands. + +They took turns hiding and finding the apples, until they heard Mommy's voice. + +"Kids, what are you doing?" Mommy asked, as she came into the living room. + +"We are playing with the apples, Mommy. It's fun!" Lily said. + +Mommy smiled and said, "That's very creative of you, but you know you are not supposed to play with food. Apples are for eating, not for hiding. Why don't you wash them and we can have some for a snack?" + +"OK, Mommy. We are sorry," Ben said. + +They put the apples back in the basket and followed Mommy to the kitchen.

Ben says. + +They go closer to the tree. They see a sign. The sign says: "This is a magic tree. You can pick one fruit each. But be careful. The fruit will give you a wish. Choose wisely." + +Lila and Ben are excited. They want to make a wish. They look at the fruits. They see a red apple, a yellow banana, a green pear, a purple plum, and a blue star. + +"Which one do you want?" Ben asks Lila. + +"I want the blue star. It looks pretty and shiny. Maybe it will make me fly." Lila says. + +"I want the purple plum. It looks sweet and juicy. Maybe it will make me strong." Ben says. + +They pick their fruits. They bite them. They feel something strange. Lila feels light and happy. She starts to float in the air. Ben feels powerful and brave. He starts to lift a big rock. + +They laugh and have fun. They make their wishes come true. They thank the magic tree. They share their fruits with their friends. They learn that unusual things can be wonderful. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big bird on a tree. The bird has long legs and a long neck. It is a stork. + +"Wow, look at the bird!" Sara says. "It is so graceful. It can fly high and walk fast." + +"I want to see it closer," Ben says. He runs to the tree. He wants to touch the bird. + +"Ben, wait!" Sara says. "The bird may not like it. It may scare you." + +But Ben does not listen. He climbs the tree. He reaches for the bird. The bird sees Ben. It does not like Ben. It opens its big mouth. It makes a loud noise. It shows its sharp teeth. + +"Help!" Ben says. He is scared. He lets go of the tree. He falls to the ground. + +Sara runs to Ben. She hugs him. She is glad he is not hurt. + +"Ben, are you okay?" Sara says. + +"Yes, I am okay," Ben says. "But the bird is mean. It scared me." + +"I told you to be careful," Sara says. "The bird is not a toy. It is a wild animal. It has its own menu. It does not want to be your friend." + +"I am sorry," Ben says. "I was curious. I wanted to see the bird. But I was wrong. I will not do it again." + +Sara and Ben go back to their mom. She is sitting on a bench. She has a picnic basket. She has sandwiches and cookies and juice for them. + +"Mom, we saw a stork!" Sara says. "It was graceful. But it scared Ben. He climbed the tree and the stork was angry." + +"Oh, Ben, that was not a good idea," Mom says. "You should not bother the stork. It can hurt you. You should respect the animals. They have their own space and their own food." + +"I know, Mom," Ben says. "I learned my lesson. I will not climb the tree again. I will watch the stork from far away." + +Mom smiles. She gives them a hug. She gives them their sandwiches and cookies and juice. They eat and drink and talk. They enjoy the picnic. They watch the stork fly away. They are happy. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to look for acorns under the big trees. Acorns were brown and round and had little hats. Lily and Tom wanted to make a necklace with acorns. + +"Look, I found a big acorn!" Lily said. She held it in her hand and showed it to Tom. + +"Wow, that's a nice acorn!" Tom said. "Can I see it?" + +Lily gave the acorn to Tom. He held it and looked at it. He saw something shiny on the acorn. + +"Hey, there's a sticker on the acorn!" Tom said. He peeled off the sticker. It was pink and had a heart on it. + +"Who put a sticker on the acorn?" Lily asked. She was curious. + +"I don't know. Maybe someone wanted to make the acorn pretty," Tom said. He smiled and gave the acorn back to Lily. + +"Thank you, Tom. I like the acorn with the sticker. It's a special acorn," Lily said. She held the acorn close to her chest. + +"Me too. It's a pink heart acorn," Tom said. He held Lily's hand and they ran to find more acorns. They were happy. +Ben and Lily are twins. They like to play in the park with their ball. One day, they see a big light in the sky. It is a rainbow. They want to see it closer. + +They rush to the end of the park, where the rainbow touches the ground. They hope to find a pot of gold. But when they get there, they see a big dog. The dog is hungry. It growls at them and shows its teeth. + +Ben and Lily are scared. They drop their ball and run away. The dog chases them. It wants their ball. Ben and Lily scream for help. + +Their mom hears them. She comes to the park. She sees the dog and the ball. She picks up a stick and throws it. The dog runs after the stick. It leaves Ben and Lily alone. + +Mom hugs Ben and Lily. She says they are brave. She says they should not go near strange dogs. She says they should share their ball. She says they can see the rainbow from their home. + +Ben and Lily say sorry. They say they love mom. They say they love their ball. They say they love the rainbow. They go home with mom. They are happy. +Ben and Mia are twins. They like to play outside in the sun. They enjoy digging in the earth with their shovels. They find worms and rocks and bugs. They make a big pile of earth and pretend it is a mountain. + +One day, they see a new kid in the park. His name is Leo. He has a big truck and a loud voice. He drives his truck over Ben and Mia's mountain. He says, "This is my park. Go away, you babies." He laughs and drives away. + +Ben and Mia are sad and angry. They worked hard on their mountain. They think Leo is mean and rude. They want to make him stop. They are tough and brave. They do not give up. + +They get their shovels and follow Leo. They wait until he is not looking. Then they dig a hole in his path. They cover it with leaves and sticks. They hide behind a tree and watch. + +Leo comes back with his truck. He does not see the hole. He drives over it and falls in. His truck gets stuck. He cries and shouts. He says, "Help me, help me. I'm sorry, I'm sorry." + +Ben and Mia come out of their hiding place. They say, "We made this hole. We are not babies. We are tough. You are mean and rude. You should not break our mountain. You should say sorry and be nice." + +Leo says, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Please help me. I will be nice. I will share my truck. I will play with you." + +Ben and Mia help Leo out of the hole. They say, "OK, we forgive you. We will play with you. But you have to be kind and fair. And you have to enjoy the earth. It is not for breaking. It is for making." + +They all smile and hug. They play together with the truck and the shovels. They make a new mountain and a new hole. They enjoy the earth and each other. They are friends. +Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play with toys. One day, they saw a big truck with many toys in the park. The man who drove the truck said he would sell them any toy they wanted for a low price. Tim and Sam were very happy and ran to the truck. + +They saw many toys they liked, but they did not have enough money. The man said he had an easy way for them to get more money. He said he would buy their feet for a lot of money. Tim and Sam were confused and scared. They asked why he wanted their feet. The man said he needed them for a special project. He said he would give them new feet that were better and faster. + +Tim and Sam did not believe him. They said they liked their feet and did not want to sell them. The man got angry and tried to grab them. He said he would take their feet by force. Tim and Sam screamed and ran away. They looked for help, but no one was in the park. They were alone and in danger. + +They ran to the gate, but it was locked. They saw a sign that said "Closed for maintenance". They realized they had made a big mistake. They had entered the park when it was closed. They had not seen the sign because they were too excited about the toys. They had fallen into a trap. + +The man caught up with them and laughed. He said he had tricked them. He said he was not a toy seller, but a foot thief. He said he would cut off their feet and sell them to a bad man who made shoes out of them. He said he had done this to many children before. He said he was sorry, but not really. + +Tim and Sam cried and begged him to let them go. They said they were sorry for being greedy and foolish. They said they would never want toys more than their feet again. They said they would be good and listen to their parents. But it was too late. The man did not care. He took out a big knife and moved closer to them. He said it would not hurt much, but it did. + +The moral of the story is: Be careful of strangers who offer you things that are too good to be true. They may have a hidden and evil plan. Value what you have and do not be greedy for more. And always follow the rules and stay safe. +Lily and Sam went to a big place with many people and food. They were hungry and wanted to eat. They sat at a table and a nice lady gave them a menu. The menu had pictures of food and words. + +"What do you want to eat, Lily?" Sam asked. + +Lily looked at the menu and saw a picture of a banana. She liked bananas. She pointed at the picture and said, "I want a banana, please." + +Sam looked at the menu and saw a picture of a pizza. He liked pizza. He pointed at the picture and said, "I want a pizza, please." + +The nice lady smiled and said, "Okay, I will bring your food soon." + +Lily and Sam waited for their food. They were very hungry. They looked around and saw other people eating and talking. They saw a big clock on the wall. It was late. + +After a while, the nice lady came back with their food. She put a plate with a banana on it in front of Lily and a plate with a pizza on it in front of Sam. She said, "Here you go, enjoy your food." + +Lily and Sam said, "Thank you." They started to eat their food. Lily peeled the banana and took a bite. It was sweet and soft. She liked it. Sam cut the pizza with a knife and fork. It was hot and cheesy. He liked it. + +They ate and ate until they were full. They had some water to drink. They felt happy and sleepy. They yawned and rubbed their eyes. + +The nice lady came back and asked, "Are you done with your food? Do you want anything else?" + +Lily and Sam shook their heads and said, "No, thank you. We are full and sleepy." + +The nice lady said, "Okay, then. I will bring you the bill. You can split it or pay together." + +Lily and Sam did not know what the bill was. They did not know what split meant. They looked at each other and said, "What is that?" + +The nice lady explained, "The bill is how much money you have to pay for your food. Split means you pay half and half. Or you can pay together, one of you pays for both." + +Lily and Sam still did not understand. They did not have any money. They were only three years old. They said, "We are sorry, we don't have money. We are only three." + +The nice lady was surprised and said, "Oh, dear. Where are your parents? How did you get here?" + +Lily and Sam said, "We don't know. We were playing in the park and we saw this big place. We were hungry and we came in. We thought it was free." + +The nice lady said, "Oh, no. This is not free. This is a restaurant. You have to pay for your food. You can't just come in and eat. That is not right." + +Lily and Sam felt bad and scared. They did not know they did something wrong. They said, "We are sorry, we did not know. Please don't be mad at us. Please don't call the police." + +The nice lady said, "Don't worry, I won't call the police. But I have to find your parents. They must be looking for you. Do you have a phone number or an address?" + +Lily and Sam said, "Yes, we do. We have a card with our names and our mom's phone number. She gave it to us in case we get lost." + +They took out the card from their pockets and gave it to the nice lady. She looked at it and said, "Okay, I will call your mom and tell her where you are. You stay here and don't go anywhere. I will be right back." + +She took the card and the bill and went to the phone. Lily and Sam sat at the table and waited. They felt sorry and sleepy. They hoped their mom would come soon and not be angry. They learned a new word today: split. But they did not like it. They wished they never came to this big place. They wished they stayed in the park. +Sam and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to watch the jets fly in the sky. They made loud noises and left white trails behind them. + +"Look, Lily, a big jet!" Sam yelled, pointing at the sky. "It is so fast and shiny!" + +Lily looked up and saw the jet. She smiled and clapped her hands. "Yes, Sam, it is a big jet. It is so graceful and smooth!" + +They watched the jet fly over their heads. They wanted to see where it was going. They ran after it, across the grass and the road. + +But they did not see the car coming. The car was also fast and shiny. It did not stop for the children. It hit them with a loud bang. + +The jet flew away, unaware of the tragedy. Sam and Lily did not get up. They did not yell or clap anymore. They were very still and quiet. The car driver was very sorry and scared. He called for help, but it was too late. The end. +Lena likes to wear red on her lips. She thinks it makes her look pretty and grown-up. She sees her mom wear red on her lips sometimes, when she goes out with dad. Lena wants to go out with them too, but mom says she is too little. + +One day, Lena finds mom's red lip thing in the bathroom. She is very happy. She opens it and puts it on her lips. She looks in the mirror and smiles. She thinks she looks like mom. She runs to show mom and dad. + +But mom and dad do not smile. They look surprised and angry. Mom says, "Lena, what did you do? That is not for you. That is for mom. You are too little to wear red on your lips. You need to wash it off right now." + +Lena feels sad and confused. She does not understand why mom and dad are mad. She says, "But mom, I want to look like you. I want to be pretty and grown-up. Why can't I wear red on my lips?" + +Mom sighs and hugs Lena. She says, "Lena, you are already pretty and grown-up. You do not need to wear red on your lips. You are perfect the way you are. You have your own normal lips, and they are beautiful. Red on your lips is not for you. It is for mom. Maybe when you are older, you can wear it sometimes. But not now. Now you need to wash it off and be yourself." +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a rake and a bucket. They rake the leaves and put them in the bucket. They make a big pile of leaves. + +They see a bird on the ground. It is not moving. It has a broken wing. Lily and Tom are sad. They want to help the bird. They think the bird is cold and hungry. + +They decide to bury the bird. They dig a hole with the rake. They put the bird in the hole. They cover it with leaves and dirt. They say goodbye to the bird. They hope the bird is happy in the ground. + +They see a man with a big machine. It is a modern machine. It has a loud noise and a long arm. It can pick up the leaves and put them in a truck. The man is cleaning the park. + +Lily and Tom are scared. They do not want the man to take their pile of leaves. They do not want the man to find their bird. They run to their pile of leaves. They try to protect it. + +The man sees Lily and Tom. He stops the machine. He smiles at them. He asks them what they are doing. They tell him about the bird. They ask him not to take their leaves. + +The man understands. He is kind. He tells them he will not take their leaves. He tells them he will leave their bird alone. He tells them they are good friends. He gives them a sticker. + +Lily and Tom are happy. They thank the man. They hug each other. They go home with their rake and bucket. They keep their sticker. They remember their bird. +Lila and Ben went to the beach with Mom and Dad. They liked to play in the sand and splash in the water. They saw many things in the water, like fish and crabs and shells. But they also saw something new and funny. It was a jellyfish. + +The jellyfish was pink and soft and had long arms. It looked like a big balloon with strings. Lila and Ben wanted to touch it, but Mom and Dad said no. They said the jellyfish could hurt them with its arms. They said the jellyfish had a name, and it was stinger. + +Lila and Ben were curious about the stinger. They asked Mom and Dad why it had that name. Mom and Dad said the stinger used its arms to catch food and to protect itself. They said the stinger could sting other animals and make them feel bad. They said Lila and Ben should stay away from the stinger and be careful in the water. + +Lila and Ben nodded and listened to Mom and Dad. They did not touch the stinger, but they watched it from a distance. They thought it was funny how it moved and floated in the water. They wondered what it ate and where it lived. They learned a new word and a new thing. They had fun at the beach with the jellyfish. +Lily and Anna were best friends. They liked to play with dolls and dress up. One day, they found a big purse in Lily's mom's closet. It was shiny and had many colors. + +"Wow, look at this purse!" Lily said. "It is so pretty. Can we play with it?" + +Anna nodded. "Yes, let's play. We can decorate it with stickers and glitter. It will be more pretty." + +They took the purse and some stickers and glitter to Lily's room. They put stickers of flowers and stars on the purse. They sprinkled glitter on the purse. They made the purse sparkle. + +"Look, we made a beautiful purse!" Anna said. "We are good at decorating. Do you want to wear it?" + +Lily smiled. "Yes, let's wear it. We can pretend we are going to a party. But first, we need to put on our coats. It is very cold outside. It is icy." + +They put on their coats and scarves and hats. They took the purse and went outside. They saw snow on the ground and on the trees. They saw their breath in the air. + +"Brrr, it is icy!" Lily said. "But it is also pretty. Like our purse." + +Anna agreed. "Yes, it is pretty. Like our purse. We are pretty too. Let's go to the party." + +They held hands and walked to the park. They pretended they were going to a party. They had fun with their purse. They were happy. +Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to dig holes and look for bugs. Sometimes they found worms or ants, and sometimes they found nothing. + +"Look, Lily, I found a big worm!" Tom said, holding up a brown and slimy thing. + +"Wow, Tom, that is a big worm!" Lily said, coming closer to see. "Can I touch it?" + +Tom nodded and gave her the worm. Lily felt it wriggle in her hand. She giggled and said, "It tickles!" + +Suddenly, they heard a loud noise. They looked up and saw their sister, Anna, coming out of the house. Anna was fat and tall. She always wore a pink dress and a bow in her hair. She did not like to play with Tom and Lily. She liked to read books and play with dolls. + +"Hey, you two, what are you doing?" Anna said, frowning. "You are making a mess of the garden. And what is that in your hand, Lily? Is that a worm? Gross!" + +Tom and Lily did not like Anna. She was mean and bossy. They wanted her to go away. + +"Go away, Anna!" Tom said, sticking out his tongue. "We are having fun. You are boring." + +"Yeah, go away, Anna!" Lily said, throwing the worm at her. "You are fat and ugly." + +Anna screamed and ran back into the house. She did not like worms. She did not like Tom and Lily. She was angry and sad. + +Tom and Lily laughed and hugged each other. They did not care about Anna. They liked to play in the garden. They liked to find worms and bugs. They were happy. +Anna likes to paint. She has many colors and brushes. She paints flowers and animals and houses. She is happy when she paints. + +One day, Anna wants to paint something new. She asks her mom, "Can I paint a vegetable?" + +Her mom says, "Sure, why not? Vegetables are good for you. You can paint a carrot or a tomato or a broccoli." + +Anna thinks for a moment. She likes carrots. They are orange and crunchy. She says, "I want to paint a carrot." + +Her mom gives her a carrot from the fridge. Anna takes the carrot and a brush. She dips the brush in orange paint. She starts to paint the carrot on a paper. + +But Anna is clumsy. She paints too hard. The brush slips from her hand. The paint splashes on the paper, on the table, on the floor, and on her face. + +Anna gasps. She looks at the mess. She says, "Oh no! I am sorry, mom. I made a big mess." + +Her mom comes to see. She sees the paint everywhere. She sees Anna's face. She smiles. She says, "Don't worry, Anna. It's okay. You can clean up later. But you know what? You made a very beautiful carrot. It looks very real. And you look very funny. You are a carrot too." + +Anna laughs. She says, "Thank you, mom. You are very nice. I love you." + +Her mom hugs her. She says, "I love you too, Anna. You are my little painter." +Tim and Sam are friends. They like to play with cars and balls. One day, they see a big house with a big garden. The house has many toys and bikes. Tim and Sam want to play with them. + +"Let's go and test the bikes," Tim says. "Maybe no one is home." + +Sam is not sure. He thinks they might get in trouble. "But what if someone sees us?" he asks. "We don't know who lives here. Maybe they are rich and mean." + +Tim does not care. He runs to the gate and opens it. He goes inside the garden and picks a bike. He rides it fast and laughs. Sam follows him. He does not want to be alone. + +They have fun for a while. They test different bikes and toys. They do not see anyone. They think they are lucky. + +But then, they hear a loud bark. A big dog comes out of the house. It is angry and hungry. It sees Tim and Sam and runs to them. It wants to bite them. + +Tim and Sam are scared. They drop the bikes and toys. They run to the gate. But the gate is closed. They forgot to leave it open. They are trapped. + +They scream for help. They hope someone will hear them. They wish they did not test the bikes. They wish they did not get in trouble. They wish they did not go to the rich house. +Lily and Ben are best friends. They like to play in the park with their toys. One day, they find a small bird on the grass. The bird is hurt and cannot fly. + +"Oh no, poor bird!" Lily says. "We need to help it!" + +Ben nods. He takes off his jacket and wraps it around the bird. He holds it gently in his arms. "Don't worry, bird. We will take you to the vet. He will make you better." + +Lily and Ben run to the bus stop. They hope the bus will come soon. They want the bird to be safe and happy. + +On the bus, Lily sits next to Ben. She rubs the bird's head softly. She sings a song to make it feel calm. The bird closes its eyes and listens. It feels warm and cozy. + +The bus stops at the vet's clinic. Lily and Ben get off and hurry inside. They show the bird to the vet. He smiles and takes it to his room. + +"Thank you for bringing the bird to me," he says. "You are very kind and brave. I will check the bird and fix its wing. Then it can fly again." + +Lily and Ben wait in the lobby. They read some books and play with some toys. They hope the bird will be okay. + +After a while, the vet comes back. He has the bird in his hand. The bird has a bandage on its wing. It looks happy and healthy. + +"Good news!" the vet says. "The bird is fine. It just needs some rest and some food. You can take it home and care for it until it is ready to fly. Do you want to do that?" + +Lily and Ben nod. They are very happy. They thank the vet and take the bird. They go back to the park. They find a nice spot under a tree. They make a nest for the bird with some leaves and grass. They give it some water and some seeds. + +The bird chirps and flaps its wing. It looks at Lily and Ben with gratitude. It feels peaceful and loved. Lily and Ben smile and hug each other. They have a new friend. They hope the bird will be happy with them. +Ben and Mia are friends. They like to play outside. One day, they go to the lake with their moms. The lake is big and blue. They see ducks and fish in the water. + +"Look, Ben, a duck!" Mia says. She points to a duck that swims near them. + +"Quack, quack!" Ben says. He tries to talk to the duck. The duck looks at him and swims away. + +"Let's feed the duck," Mia says. She has some bread in her hand. She breaks it into small pieces and throws them to the water. + +The duck comes back and eats the bread. Ben and Mia are happy. They clap their hands and laugh. + +"Can we go on the boat?" Ben asks. He sees a boat on the lake. The boat is high and has a sail. + +"Maybe later," his mom says. "First, we have to put on sunscreen and hats. The sun is very bright today." + +Ben and Mia nod. They know that sunscreen and hats are good for their skin. They let their moms put on sunscreen and hats for them. Then they run to the water and splash each other. They have fun at the lake. +Ben and Mia were twins who liked to play together. One day, they found a big basket of fruit in the kitchen. They saw apples, bananas, oranges and pears. They wanted to try them all. + +"Can I have a pear, please?" Ben asked Mia. + +"Sure, you can have a pear. I will have an apple," Mia said. She was generous and liked to share. + +They took the fruit and went to the living room. They sat on the couch and bit into their fruit. Ben made a face. He did not like the pear. It was sour and hard. + +"Yuck, this pear is bad. I want to change it," Ben said. He looked at Mia's apple. It was red and juicy. + +"Can I have your apple, please?" Ben asked Mia. + +Mia looked at Ben's pear. She liked pears. They were sweet and soft. + +"OK, you can have my apple. I will have your pear," Mia said. She was generous and liked to change. + +They swapped their fruit and smiled. They liked their new fruit. They ate them happily. + +"Thank you, Mia. You are very generous," Ben said. + +"You are welcome, Ben. You are very generous, too," Mia said. + +They hugged each other and finished their fruit. They were happy and full. They decided to try the bananas and oranges next. They liked to play together. +Lily liked to draw. She had many colors and papers. She drew flowers and trees and animals. She wanted to draw a giraffe, but she did not know how. Giraffes were very tall and had long necks and spots. + +She asked her big brother, Ben, to help her. Ben was good at drawing. He had a book with many pictures of giraffes. He showed Lily the book and said, "Look, this is how you draw a giraffe. You make a big oval for the body, a long line for the neck, a small circle for the head, and two horns. Then you add legs and a tail and some spots." + +Lily tried to copy the book, but her giraffe did not look like Ben's. Her oval was too small, her line was too short, her circle was too big, and her horns were too long. Her legs and tail and spots were messy. She felt sad and said, "My giraffe is bad. I can't draw a giraffe." + +Ben saw Lily's giraffe and smiled. He said, "Your giraffe is not bad. Your giraffe is different. Your giraffe is special. Your giraffe is True. True is a good name for your giraffe. I like True. True is your friend." + +Lily looked at her giraffe again and smiled too. She said, "You are right. My giraffe is True. True is my friend. I like True too. Thank you, Ben. You are a good brother. You encourage me to draw." + +Ben hugged Lily and said, "You are welcome, Lily. You are a good sister. You make me happy. Let's draw more giraffes together." And they did. +Sara and Ben were twins who liked to play with blocks. They had many blocks of different colors and shapes. They could build houses, cars, towers and more. Sometimes they shared their blocks and helped each other. Sometimes they wanted their own blocks and did not want to share. + +One day, they had a big fight over a shiny block. It was a special block that had a spark inside. When they moved it, the spark made a bright light. Sara and Ben both wanted the spark block for their own. They pulled and pushed and shouted. + +"Give me the spark block! It is mine!" Sara said. + +"No, it is mine! I saw it first!" Ben said. + +They were so angry that they did not notice their mom coming into the room. She saw them fighting and was not happy. + +"Stop it, Sara and Ben! You are not being nice to each other. Why are you fighting over one block?" she asked. + +They both tried to explain, but they talked at the same time and did not listen to each other. + +Mom shook her head and said, "You need to learn how to share and take turns. If you cannot play nicely with the blocks, I will have to separate them. You will each get half of the blocks and you will not be able to play with the other half." + +Sara and Ben did not like this idea. They did not want to lose their blocks or their spark block. They looked at each other and felt sorry. They realized they were being silly and selfish. They did not want to make their mom or each other sad. + +They decided to be thoughtful and say sorry. They hugged and said, "We are sorry, mom. We are sorry, twin. We do not want to fight. We want to share and play." + +Mom smiled and said, "That is very good, Sara and Ben. I am proud of you. You can keep all your blocks and play with them together. But you have to promise to be kind and fair. Can you do that?" + +They nodded and said, "Yes, mom. We promise. Thank you, mom." + +They took the spark block and held it in their hands. They watched the spark make a bright light. They smiled and said, "We love the spark block. And we love each other." +Ben and Lily were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make yummy food. They had pots and pans and spoons and bowls. They also had some pretend food, like carrots and apples and bread. + +"Let's make a soup!" said Ben. He took a big pot and filled it with water. He put it on the stove, but he did not turn it on. He knew it was not safe to use the fire. He added some carrots and salt to the water. "Now we need some bread," he said. + +Lily looked around. She saw a yellow cabinet on the wall. She thought there might be some bread inside. She climbed on a chair and opened the cabinet. She saw a loaf of bread and reached for it. But she also saw something else. It was a big jar of honey.

But not too hard. OK?" + +The boys nod. They say, "OK, Sara. Let's go!" + +They run to the slide. They jump on it. They slide down. They laugh. They have fun. They are happy. The end. +Lily and Ben were playing on the farm. They liked to see the animals and hear their sounds. They saw a big cow with black and white spots. The cow was eating grass and mooing. + +"Hello, cow!" Lily said. "You are very pretty. Can we pet you?" + +The cow looked at Lily and Ben and nodded. They walked closer and touched the cow's soft fur. The cow licked their hands with her tongue. + +"Wow, you are very friendly, cow!" Ben said. "Do you have a name?" + +The cow mooed again and nodded. She pointed with her nose to a sign on the fence. The sign said "Bessie". + +"Bessie, that is a nice name!" Lily said. "We are Lily and Ben. We are friends." + +Bessie smiled and mooed. She liked Lily and Ben. They were kind and gentle. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud noise. It was thunder. They looked at the sky and saw dark clouds. It was going to rain. + +"Oh no, we have to go inside!" Ben said. "It is not safe to stay outside when it rains." + +They ran to the barn, where the farmer was waiting for them. He saw them and smiled. + +"Good, you are here!" he said. "It is going to rain a lot. You have to stay in the barn until it stops." + +He gave them some blankets and pillows. He told them to make a cozy bed on the hay. + +"Can Bessie come with us?" Lily asked. "She is our friend. We don't want her to be wet and cold." + +The farmer nodded. He said Bessie was a very important cow. She gave milk and cheese to the farm. He said Bessie could stay in the barn too, but she had to stay in her own corner. + +Lily and Ben thanked the farmer. They went to their bed and covered themselves with the blankets. They waved to Bessie, who was in her corner. Bessie waved back with her tail. + +They listened to the rain and the thunder. They felt warm and safe. They closed their eyes and fell asleep. They dreamed of Bessie and the farm. They were happy. +Lily and Ben are playing in the park. They like to slide and swing and run. They see a big tree with a hole. They want to look inside. + +"Maybe there is a bird or a mouse in there," Lily says. + +"Or a treasure or a secret," Ben says. + +They go to the tree and peek inside. They hear a sound. It is a hiss. They see a snake. It is pale and long and has spots. It looks angry. + +"Ah! A snake!" Lily screams. + +"Run!" Ben shouts. + +They run away from the tree. They are scared and out of breath. They find a bench and seat on it. They hug each other. + +"Are you okay?" Lily asks. + +"Yes, I'm okay. Are you?" Ben asks. + +"Yes, I'm okay. But I don't like snakes," Lily says. + +"Me neither. Let's play somewhere else," Ben says. + +They get up and go to the sandbox. They forget about the snake. They make a castle and a moat. They are happy and safe. +Lily and Max were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a carrot nose and a hat. Lily wanted to give the snowman a scarf, but she did not have one. She saw a pink blanket in her house. She ran inside and asked her mom if she could use it. + +"Can I carry the pink blanket outside, mom?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, honey, but be careful. It is very icy and slippery out there. You might fall and hurt yourself," mom said. + +Lily nodded and took the blanket. She ran outside and wrapped it around the snowman's neck. She was very happy. She thought the snowman looked cozy and pretty. + +Max saw the pink blanket and did not like it. He thought it was too girly and silly. He wanted to take it off the snowman. He ran towards Lily and the snowman. + +"Hey, that's a dumb blanket. It does not belong on a snowman. Give it to me!" Max said. + +"No, it's mine. I like it. It makes the snowman warm and nice. Go away!" Lily said. + +They started to pull and tug on the blanket. They did not notice the ice on the ground. They slipped and fell. The blanket flew off their hands and landed on a tree branch. The snowman's hat fell off too. The snowman looked sad and cold. + +Lily and Max stopped fighting. They realized they were both wrong. They felt sorry for the snowman and for each other. They got up and hugged. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. I was mean. The blanket is pretty. You can have it back," Max said. + +"I'm sorry, Max. I was selfish. The blanket is yours too. We can share it," Lily said. + +They took the blanket from the tree and put it back on the snowman. They also found the hat and put it on his head. They smiled and laughed. The snowman looked happy and cozy again. They played in the snow until mom called them for hot chocolate. +Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play with toys. They had many toys, but their favorite was a yellow car. The yellow car was big and shiny and made noises when they pushed it. + +One day, Lily and Ben wanted to play with the yellow car at the same time. Lily said, "It is my turn to play with the yellow car. I saw it first." Ben said, "No, it is my turn. I like the yellow car more." They both pulled the yellow car and started to quarrel. + +They quarreled so loud that their mom heard them. She came to see what was wrong. She saw Lily and Ben fighting over the yellow car. She was angry and said, "Stop quarreling right now. You are not sharing. You are being selfish. If you cannot play nicely, you cannot play at all." She took the yellow car away and put it on a high shelf. She said, "You can have the yellow car back when you learn to share and say sorry to each other." + +Lily and Ben were sad and mad. They did not want to share or say sorry. They did not want to play with other toys. They did not want to play with each other. They sat on the floor and pouted. They had no fun. + +The yellow car was lonely on the shelf. It missed Lily and Ben. It wished they would stop quarreling and be friends again. It wished they would play with it and make it happy. But they did not. The yellow car was sad too. +One day, a little bird was looking for a place to make a nest. She saw a big tree with many branches and leaves. She flew to the tree and found a nice twig to hang her nest on. She was happy and started to weave grass and feathers around the twig. + +But then, she heard a loud bark. A big dog was running towards the tree. He wanted to catch the bird and play with her. The bird was frightened and flew away from the twig. The dog jumped and tried to reach the nest, but he was too short. He barked and barked, but the bird did not come back. + +"Go away, dog!" the bird said from another tree. "This is my nest, not your toy!" + +The dog did not listen. He kept jumping and barking. He made a lot of noise and scared the other birds away. The bird was sad and angry. She wanted to go back to her nest, but she was afraid of the dog. + +Then, she saw a boy walking by. He had a leash in his hand. He saw the dog and the bird and the nest. He knew the dog was being naughty. He called the dog by his name and pulled the leash. The dog stopped jumping and barking. He looked at the boy and wagged his tail. He knew he had to follow the boy. + +"Sorry, bird," the boy said. "My dog likes to chase things, but he does not mean to hurt you. He is just curious and playful. You can go back to your nest now. He will not bother you again." + +The bird was relieved and grateful. She flew back to the twig and checked her nest. It was still safe and cozy. She thanked the boy and the dog and settled in her nest. She was happy and peaceful. She sang a sweet song to the boy and the dog as they walked away. +Mia and Leo were playing with their toys in the living room. Mia had a smooth doll with long hair and a pink dress. Leo had a toy car that made noises and had lights. They were having fun, but then Leo wanted to play with Mia's doll. + +"Can I have your doll?" Leo asked. + +"No, it's mine!" Mia said. + +"Please, just for a little bit!" Leo begged. + +"No, go away!" Mia shouted. + +Leo was angry. He grabbed Mia's doll and tried to pull it away from her. Mia held on tight and screamed. Leo was so mad that he bit Mia's arm. Mia felt a sharp pain and let go of the doll. She started to cry. + +"Ow, ow, ow! You bit me! You're mean!" Mia sobbed. + +Mom heard the noise and came to the living room. She saw Mia crying and Leo holding the doll. She saw the bite mark on Mia's arm and was very upset. + +"Leo, what did you do? Why did you bite your sister?" Mom asked. + +"I wanted her doll!" Leo said. + +"That's no reason to bite! Biting hurts! You have to say sorry to Mia and give her back her doll!" Mom said. + +Leo felt sorry. He knew he did a bad thing. He gave Mia back her doll and said sorry. + +"I'm sorry, Mia. I won't bite you again." Leo said. + +Mia was still sad, but she forgave Leo. She hugged him and said it was okay. + +"Thank you, Leo. I love you." Mia said. + +Mom was happy to see them make up. She gave them both a kiss and a band-aid for Mia's arm. + +"Good job, kids. I love you too. Now, let's play nicely and share our toys, okay?" Mom said. + +They nodded and smiled. They played together with their toys and had fun. They forgot about the bite, but they remembered to be kind. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. Lily had a big doll that she loved very much. Ben had a small car that he liked to zoom around. Lily saw Ben's car and wanted to play with it. She was jealous of Ben. + +"Can I have your car, Ben?" Lily asked. + +"No, it's mine. You have your doll," Ben said. + +Lily was not happy. She waited until Ben was not looking and took his car. She hid it under a pillow on the sofa. Ben looked for his car and could not find it. He was sad. + +"Where is my car, Lily?" Ben asked. + +"I don't know. Maybe it's lost," Lily lied. + +Ben did not believe her. He saw a bump on the pillow. He peeked under the pillow and saw his car. He was angry. + +"Lily, you took my car! That's not nice!" Ben shouted. + +Lily felt bad. She knew she did something wrong. She gave the car back to Ben. + +"I'm sorry, Ben. I was jealous of your car. Can we share?" Lily said. + +Ben nodded. He was still mad, but he forgave Lily. He let her play with his car for a while. Then they played with the doll together. They were friends again. + +The end. +Lily and Ben were friends. They liked to play with toys. One day, they found a big aeroplane in the park. It was red and shiny. They wanted to fly it. + +"Can I have a turn?" Lily asked. + +"No, it is mine!" Ben said. He held the aeroplane tight. + +"Please share," Lily said. "It is not nice to be greedy." + +Ben did not listen. He ran away with the aeroplane. Lily was sad. She followed him. + +Ben tried to make the aeroplane fly. He threw it in the air. But the aeroplane did not fly. It fell down and broke. Ben was sad. He cried. + +Lily came to him. She saw the broken aeroplane. She felt sorry for Ben. + +"Are you okay?" she asked. + +"No, I am not," Ben said. "I broke the aeroplane. It was so pretty. Now it is gone." + +Lily hugged him. She said, "I am sorry, too. Maybe we can find another toy to play with." + +They looked around. They saw a big pile of garbage. It was smelly and dirty. There were no toys. Only trash. + +They had nothing to play with. They had no fun. They learned a hard lesson. They should have shared. +Lily and Ben were twins who lived in a big city. They liked to go to the park with their mom and play on the swings and slides. One day, they saw a new thing in the park. It was a big seat that moved up and down and had horses on it. Lily and Ben wanted to try it. + +"Mom, can we go on the seat?" they asked. + +"Sure, but you have to wait your turn and share with the other kids," mom said. + +Lily and Ben nodded and ran to the seat. They saw a man who took money and gave tickets. They gave him their money and got their tickets. They waited in a line with other kids. Lily saw a pink horse with a flower on its head. She wanted to ride it. + +"Ben, I want the pink horse," she said. + +"Me too," Ben said. + +They both ran to the pink horse when the man said they could go on the seat. But another girl was faster and got on the pink horse first. + +"Hey, that's not fair!" Lily cried. "I saw it first!" + +"No, I did!" the girl said. "It's mine!" + +Lily and Ben were troubled. They did not know what to do. They looked at mom. Mom came over and talked to the girl and her mom. + +"Hi, I'm sorry, but my kids really wanted to ride the pink horse. Could you please let them have a turn?" mom asked. + +The girl's mom looked at the girl. The girl pouted and shook her head. + +"No, I like the pink horse. It's pretty," the girl said. + +The girl's mom sighed. She did not want to make the girl unhappy, but she also wanted to be nice. + +"Maybe you could ride the pink horse for one round, and then let Lily and Ben ride it for the next round. How does that sound?" the girl's mom suggested. + +The girl thought about it. She did not want to give up the pink horse, but she also did not want to be mean. + +"Okay, fine," she said. + +Lily and Ben smiled. They thanked the girl and her mom. They waited for the seat to stop. Then they got on the pink horse and held on tight. The seat started to move again. They felt the wind in their hair and the sun on their faces. They laughed and waved to mom. They had fun on the seat. +Lila and Ben were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and run after it. Sometimes they missed the ball and it rolled away. Then they had to chase it before it got lost. + +One time, the ball went too far and landed in a big bush. Lila and Ben ran to the bush and tried to reach the ball. But the bush was prickly and they could not see the ball. They heard a soft sound from inside the bush. It sounded like a meow. + +"Hello, who is there?" Lila asked. + +"Meow, meow," the sound answered. + +Lila and Ben moved the branches and saw a small cat. The cat was black and white and had green eyes. It looked scared and hungry. It was hiding in the bush for shelter. + +"Hi, kitty," Ben said. "Are you lost?" + +The cat nodded and rubbed its head against Lila's hand. Lila and Ben smiled and petted the cat. They decided to take the cat home and give it some food and water. They also took the ball with them. + +"Come on, kitty, we will be your friends," Lila said. + +The cat followed them and purred. It was happy to find someone who cared for it. Lila and Ben were happy to find a new friend. They walked to their house, which was not far from the park. It was a quiet and cozy place, where they could play and cuddle with the cat. They named the cat Fluffy and loved it very much. +Lily was a big girl who liked to learn new things. She wanted to go to university when she grew up, like her big sister Anna. Anna was very smart and knew a lot of things. She studied books and papers and sometimes talked to Lily about them. + +One day, Lily went to visit Anna at university. She was very excited to see where Anna lived and learned. Anna showed her around the campus and took her to the library, the cafeteria, and the park. Lily liked the library, where there were many books and pictures. She liked the park, where there were swings and slides and flowers. But she did not like the cafeteria, where there was a lot of food that looked disgusting. + +Lily saw some food that was green and slimy and smelled bad. She asked Anna what it was. Anna said it was spinach, and that it was good for you. Lily did not believe her. She thought spinach was yucky and gross. She did not want to eat it. She wanted to eat something else, like pizza or ice cream. + +Lily decided to throw the spinach away. She picked up a big spoon and scooped some spinach. She looked for a trash can, but she did not see one. She saw a window, and thought that maybe she could throw the spinach out of the window. She did not know that the window was closed. She threw the spinach with all her might, and it hit the window with a loud splat. + +The spinach stuck to the window and dripped down. It made a big mess. Lily was shocked and scared. Anna was angry and embarrassed. The other people in the cafeteria were surprised and amused. They laughed and pointed at the window. Lily felt bad and sorry. She did not mean to make a mess. She just did not like spinach. She said sorry to Anna and to the window. She learned a lesson that day. She learned that throwing food was not a good idea, and that sometimes you have to try new things, even if they look disgusting. +Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play with tubes. They have many tubes of different colors and sizes. They make tunnels and bridges and towers with them. + +One day, they find a big tube in the yard. It is black and shiny and has a hole at one end. They wonder what is inside. + +"Let's look inside the tube," Tom says. + +"OK, but be careful," Sam says. He is older and more wise than Tom. + +They take turns to peek inside the hole. They see nothing but darkness. + +"Maybe there is a treasure inside," Tom says. He is curious and brave. + +"Or maybe there is a monster inside," Sam says. He is cautious and scared. + +Tom wants to gain the treasure. He decides to crawl inside the tube. He pushes his head and shoulders into the hole. + +"Tom, wait!" Sam shouts. He tries to pull Tom back. + +But Tom does not listen. He crawls deeper and deeper into the tube. He thinks he sees something shiny in the dark. + +Suddenly, he hears a loud roar. He feels a hot breath on his face. He sees two big eyes and sharp teeth. + +"Help!" Tom screams. He is afraid and sorry. + +Sam hears Tom scream. He is worried and brave. He grabs a stick and runs to the tube. He hits the tube with the stick. He makes a lot of noise. + +The monster inside the tube does not like the noise. It is angry and scared. It spits out Tom and runs away. + +Tom falls out of the tube. He is dirty and hurt. He cries and hugs Sam. + +"Thank you, Sam," Tom says. He is grateful and sorry. + +"You're welcome, Tom," Sam says. He is relieved and happy. + +They go back to their house. They tell their mom what happened. She is shocked and glad. She cleans their wounds and gives them a hug. + +They learn a lesson. They do not play with tubes they do not know. They listen to their wise brother. They are safe and happy. +Tom and Ben were brothers who liked to play in the woods. They had a big tree house that their dad made for them. They had many toys and games in the tree house, but their favorite thing was the axe. Their dad told them not to touch the axe, because it was sharp and dangerous. But Tom and Ben were curious and wanted to try it. + +One day, when their dad was not home, Tom had an idea. He said to Ben, "Let's go to the tree house and play with the axe. We can chop some wood and make a fire. It will be fun." Ben was scared, but he did not want to seem like a baby. He said, "OK, but we have to be careful. And we have to put out the fire before dad comes back." + +They went to the tree house and took the axe. They found some dry sticks and logs and piled them up. Tom swung the axe and chopped the wood. He felt strong and brave. He said, "Look, Ben, I can do it. It's easy." Ben watched and clapped. He said, "You're good, Tom. Can I try too?" Tom said, "Sure, here you go." He gave the axe to Ben. + +Ben took the axe and tried to chop the wood. But he was not as strong as Tom. He missed the wood and hit the ground. The axe bounced back and hit his leg. Ben screamed and dropped the axe. He felt a lot of pain and saw blood. He said, "Tom, help me. It hurts. It hurts." Tom ran to him and saw the wound. He felt sorry and scared. He said, "Oh no, Ben. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. We have to go home. We have to tell dad." + +They left the axe and the wood and ran to their house. Their dad was there. He saw them and knew something was wrong. He said, "What happened, boys? What did you do?" Tom and Ben cried and told him everything. Their dad was angry and sad. He said, "You boys were very naughty and foolish. You did not listen to me. You played with the axe and hurt yourselves. You could have started a fire and burned the woods. You could have killed yourselves. You are lucky it was not worse." He took Ben to the doctor and bandaged his leg. He said, "You will be OK, Ben. But you will have a scar and a lesson. And you, Tom, you will have a punishment. You will not go to the tree house for a month. And you will never touch the axe again. Do you understand?" Tom and Ben nodded and said, "Yes, dad. We understand. We are sorry. We love you." Their dad hugged them and said, "I love you too, boys. But you have to be careful and obey me. The axe is not a toy. The woods are not a playground. They are hot and sharp and dangerous." +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. They like to swing, slide and run. They are lively and happy. + +One day, Tom has to go away with his family. He tells Mia, "I will miss you. You are my best friend. Will you miss me?" + +Mia nods and hugs Tom. She says, "I will miss you too. You are my best friend. When will you come back?" + +Tom says, "I don't know. Maybe in two weeks. I will write you a letter. You can write me too." + +Mia says, "OK. I will write you a letter. I will draw you a picture. I will draw a lemon. You like lemons. They are yellow and sour." + +Tom smiles and says, "I like lemons. They are yellow and sour. I will draw you a lemon too. And a flower. You like flowers. They are pretty and smell good." + +They say goodbye and wave. Tom gets in the car with his family. Mia watches him go. She feels sad. She misses Tom. She hopes he will come back soon. She goes home and draws a lemon and a flower for Tom. She writes, "I miss you. You are my best friend." She puts the letter in an envelope and asks her mom to mail it. She hopes Tom will get it soon. She hopes he will write her back. She hopes he will draw her a lemon and a flower too. She thinks of Tom and smiles. He is her best friend. +Tom and Mia liked to play with their toy cars and trucks in the garden. They had a lot of fun making roads, bridges and buildings with dirt, rocks and sticks. One day, they found a new toy in the shed. It was a crane. A crane is a big machine that can lift heavy things. Tom and Mia wanted to try it. + +Tom said, "I want to use the crane first. It is mine." Mia said, "No, it is not. It is ours. We can share it." Tom and Mia started to argue. They both pulled the crane and tried to take it away from each other. The crane was tall and heavy. It was hard to move. + +Then, something bad happened. The crane fell over and hit a flower pot. The flower pot broke and the dirt and flowers spilled on the ground. Tom and Mia stopped arguing. They looked at the mess. They felt sorry. They said, "Oh no. We broke the flower pot. Mom will be mad." + +They heard Mom coming. They quickly picked up the crane and the toy cars and trucks. They ran to the shed. They hid the crane behind some boxes. They hoped Mom would not see it. They said, "We are sorry. We will not fight over the crane again. We will share it and play nicely." They hugged each other and smiled. They learned a lesson. +One day, Tom and Lily went to the park with their mom. They saw a big tree with many green needles. Mom said it was a pine tree. Tom and Lily liked the pine tree. They wanted to touch it and smell it. + +They ran to the pine tree and hugged it. But the pine tree was prickly and sticky. It hurt their hands and faces. They cried out loud. "Ow, ow, ow! The pine tree is mean!" + +Mom heard them and came to help. She took them away from the pine tree and wiped their tears. She said, "Don't worry, my loves. The pine tree is not mean. It is just unusual. It has needles to protect itself from the cold and the animals. It also has sap to make itself strong and healthy. But it is not good for us to touch it or hug it. It can hurt us and make us dirty." + +Tom and Lily felt better. They said sorry to the pine tree. They also said thank you to mom. But they felt a little embarrassed. They saw some other kids laughing at them. They wondered why they were so silly to hug a pine tree. + +Mom hugged them and said, "It's okay, my loves. You were just curious and brave. You wanted to learn something new. That is a good thing. Sometimes we make mistakes and feel embarrassed. But we can also learn from them and laugh at ourselves. That is a better thing. Come on, let's go and play with the other kids. Maybe they can teach us something new too." +Ben and Mia were hungry. They wanted to eat a meal. Mom said she would make them some soup and bread. Ben and Mia liked soup and bread. + +Mom put the soup in a big pot on the stove. She turned on the fire. She said, "Be careful, don't touch the fire. It is very hot and can hurt you." Ben and Mia nodded. They waited for the soup to be ready. + +Mom went to the table to get the bread. She took a big knife. She said, "I will split the bread into two pieces. One for you, Ben, and one for you, Mia." She cut the bread with the knife. But the knife was very sharp. It cut Mom's finger. Mom said, "Ouch! That hurts!" + +Ben and Mia heard Mom. They ran to her. They saw blood on Mom's finger. They were scared. They said, "Mom, are you okay? Does it hurt a lot?" + +Mom smiled. She said, "Don't worry, my loves. It is just a small cut. I will put a band-aid on it. It will be fine." She washed her finger and wrapped it with a band-aid. She said, "See? All better. Now let's eat our meal. The soup is ready. It smells good." + +Ben and Mia hugged Mom. They said, "We love you, Mom. You are brave. Thank you for making us soup and bread." They went to the table. They ate their meal. They shared the bread. They were happy. They were not scared anymore. +Tom and Anna like to play in the park. They run, jump, slide and swing. They have fun with their friends. But one day, it is very cold. The park is white with snow. Tom and Anna wear warm hats, coats, gloves and boots. + +They see a big hill. They want to go down the hill on their sleds. They take their sleds and climb the hill. They are excited. They sit on their sleds and push with their feet. They go down the hill very fast. Whee! + +But at the bottom of the hill, there is a pond. The pond has ice on it. Tom and Anna do not see the ice. They go on the ice with their sleds. The ice is thin. It cracks. Tom and Anna fall into the water. Splash! + +They are wet and cold. They cry. They want their mom and dad. They see steam coming out of their mouths. They shiver. They hear someone calling them. It is the park ranger. He is on the shore. He has a rope. + +"Tom! Anna! Don't move! I will help you!" he says. He throws the rope to them. He tells them to hold the rope. He pulls them out of the water. He wraps them in blankets. He is kind. He takes them to his car. He drives them home. He is slow and careful. + +Tom and Anna are happy to see their mom and dad. They hug them. They say sorry. They say thank you. They go inside. They take off their wet clothes. They put on dry clothes. They drink hot chocolate. They feel warm and cozy. They learn a lesson. They will not go on the ice again. They will be safe. +Ben and Lily were bored. They wanted to play a game, but they did not have many games available. They looked around the room and saw a big box. They had an idea. + +"Let's play scare!" Ben said. "I will hide in the box and you will look for me. When you find me, I will jump out and scare you!" + +"OK, that sounds fun!" Lily said. "But you have to count to ten first, so I can run away." + +Ben agreed and started counting. "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten! Ready or not, here I come!" + +He got out of the box and looked for Lily. He checked under the bed, behind the curtain, and in the closet. He could not find her. He wondered where she was. + +He heard a giggle from behind the sofa. He smiled and tiptoed towards it. He was sure he would scare her. He reached the sofa and shouted, "Boo!" + +But it was not Lily. It was their dog, Max. Max barked and licked Ben's face. Ben was surprised and laughed. + +Lily came out of her hiding spot. She had been in the bathroom. She saw Ben and Max and laughed too. + +"You scared the wrong one!" she said. + +Ben shrugged and hugged Max. "That's OK. He is a good boy. And he likes to play scare too!" +Tom is a boy who likes to learn new things. He goes to school with his friends and his teacher. His teacher is nice and helps him learn. Today, his teacher has a big white board. On the board, she writes some numbers. She says, "These are numbers. Numbers help us count and measure things. Can you say the numbers with me?" + +Tom and his friends look at the board. They see one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, and ten. They try to say the numbers with their teacher. Some of them say them well, some of them make mistakes, but they all have fun. Tom likes the number four. He thinks it looks like a chair. He says, "Four, four, four!" + +His teacher smiles and says, "Good, Tom! You are learning the numbers. Do you know what else you can do with the number four?" She picks up four crayons and shows them to Tom. She says, "You can make four lines, or four circles, or four squares. You can also make a picture with four colors. Do you want to try?" + +Tom nods and takes the crayons. He makes four lines on a paper. Then he makes four circles. Then he makes four squares. He thinks it is fun to make shapes with the number four. He also makes a picture of a house with four colors. He uses red, blue, yellow, and green. He shows his picture to his teacher and his friends. They all say, "Wow, Tom! You are very good at numbers and colors!" + +Tom feels happy and proud. He says, "Thank you, teacher! Thank you, friends! I like to learn numbers and colors. They are fun and pretty!" He puts his picture on the wall and looks at it. He thinks, "I wonder what else I can learn with numbers and colors." He can't wait for the next day of school. +Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play together. One day, they found a big bunch of grapes on the table. They were hungry and wanted to eat some. + +"Can we have some grapes, please?" Lily asked her mom. + +"Sure, but only a few. You have to save some for later," her mom said. + +Lily and Tom each took a little grape and put it in their mouths. It was sweet and juicy. They wanted more. + +"Let's take some more when mom is not looking," Tom whispered. + +"That's not nice. Mom said only a few," Lily said. + +But Tom did not listen. He grabbed a big handful of grapes and ran to the corner. He stuffed them in his mouth as fast as he could. + +Lily watched him and felt sad. She realized that Tom was not a good friend. He was greedy and did not share. + +Suddenly, Tom started to choke. He had too many grapes in his mouth and could not breathe. He tried to spit them out, but it was too late. + +Lily screamed for help. Her mom came and saw what happened. She tried to help Tom, but it was also too late. Tom was gone. + +Lily cried and cried. She wished she had stopped Tom from taking so many grapes. She learned a hard lesson. She learned that being greedy can be dangerous and that being a good friend means sharing and caring. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the garden. The garden has many flowers and trees and birds. Lily and Ben have a ball. They throw the ball to each other and catch it. + +One day, the ball goes too far. It goes over the fence and into the pond. The pond has water and fish and frogs. Lily and Ben run to the fence and look at the ball. The ball is floating on the water. + +"Who will get the ball?" Lily asks. + +"I will get it," Ben says. "I can dive into the pond and swim to the ball." + +Ben climbs over the fence and jumps into the pond. He dives under the water and tries to reach the ball. But the water is cold and deep and Ben is not a good swimmer. He feels weak and scared. He comes up for air and calls for help. + +"Lily, help me! I can't get the ball. I can't swim. I'm weak." + +Lily hears Ben and sees him in the pond. She is worried. She runs to the house and tells Ben's mom. + +"Mom, Ben is in the pond. He can't swim. He's weak. He needs help." + +Ben's mom hears Lily and runs to the pond. She sees Ben in the water and dives in. She swims to Ben and grabs him. She pulls him out of the pond and hugs him. + +"Ben, are you okay? You should not dive into the pond. It's dangerous. You could drown." + +"I'm sorry, mom. I wanted to get the ball. But the pond was too big and I was too weak." + +"It's okay, Ben. I'm glad you're safe. The ball is not important. You are important." + +Lily and Ben's mom take Ben to the house. They dry him and warm him and give him a hug. They tell him not to dive into the pond again. They tell him to be careful and to play in the garden. Ben says he is sorry and he thanks them. He says he will not dive into the pond again. He says he will play in the garden with Lily and the ball. Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the garden. The garden has many flowers and trees and birds. +Lily was a chubby girl who liked to eat a lot of cake and candy. She did not like to move or play with her friends. She only wanted to sit on the couch and watch TV. Her mom and dad were worried about her health and happiness. + +One day, her mom said, "Lily, you need to move more and eat less. It is good for your body and your mind. Why don't you go outside and play with Tom and Anna? They are having fun in the park." + +Lily shook her head and said, "No, mom. I don't want to move. I don't want to play. I just want to watch TV and eat cake." + +Her mom sighed and said, "Lily, please listen to me. Moving and playing are important for your growth and learning. You will feel better and make new friends. Cake and TV are not good for you all the time. They will make you sick and sad." + +Lily still did not listen. She turned her head away and said, "No, mom. Leave me alone." + +Her mom was sad and angry. She said, "Fine, Lily. You can stay on the couch and watch TV and eat cake. But don't come crying to me when you have a tummy ache or a headache or no friends." + +Lily did not care. She kept watching TV and eating cake. She thought she was happy. + +But soon, she felt sick and tired. Her tummy hurt and her head hurt. She had no energy and no smile. She looked out the window and saw Tom and Anna playing and laughing in the park. They were running and jumping and swinging and sliding. They looked happy and healthy. + +Lily felt lonely and sad. She wished she had listened to her mom. She wished she had moved and played with her friends. She wished she had eaten less cake and watched less TV. + +She turned off the TV and put down the cake. She got up from the couch and put on her shoes. She went to her mom and said, "Mom, I'm sorry. You were right. I need to move more and eat less. Can I go outside and play with Tom and Anna?" + +Her mom smiled and hugged her. She said, "Of course, Lily. I'm glad you realized that. Go ahead and have fun. But remember, everything in moderation. A little cake and TV are okay, but not too much. And moving and playing are good, but not too hard. Balance is the key." + +Lily nodded and said, "Thank you, mom. I love you." + +She ran outside and joined Tom and Anna. They welcomed her and invited her to play. Lily moved and played and laughed. She felt better and happier. She learned her lesson. + +The moral of the story is: Moving and playing are good for your health and happiness. Cake and TV are not good for you all the time. Balance is the key. Listen to your mom. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys and eat ice cream. Today is their birthday. They are very happy. + +Mom and Dad have a big surprise for them. They wrap two big boxes with colorful paper and ribbons. They put them on the table next to the cake and the candles. + +"Come here, Anna and Ben!" Mom calls. "It's time to open your presents!" + +Anna and Ben run to the table. They are very excited. They see the boxes and the cake. They clap their hands. + +"Wow! What is in the boxes?" Anna asks. + +"Can we open them now?" Ben asks. + +"Yes, you can!" Dad says. "But first, make a wish and blow the candles!" + +Anna and Ben close their eyes and make a wish. They blow the candles together. The cake has cream and sprinkles on top. It smells yummy. + +"Happy birthday, Anna and Ben!" Mom and Dad say. They hug and kiss them. + +"Thank you, Mom and Dad!" Anna and Ben say. They smile. + +"Now, you can open your presents!" Mom says. She gives them each a box. + +Anna and Ben tear the paper and open the boxes. They gasp. They see two new bikes. One is pink and one is blue. They have bells and baskets. + +"Wow! Bikes!" Anna and Ben say. They jump up and down. + +"Mom and Dad, you are the best!" Anna and Ben say. They hug and kiss them again. + +"Do you like them?" Mom asks. + +"We love them!" Anna and Ben say. + +"Can we ride them now?" Ben asks. + +"Sure, you can!" Dad says. "But first, put on your helmets and gloves. Safety first!" + +Mom and Dad help them put on their helmets and gloves. They take them outside. They show them how to ride the bikes. + +Anna and Ben are a little nervous at first. They wobble and fall. But they get up and try again. They learn how to pedal and steer and brake. They ring their bells and wave to their friends. + +Soon, they are riding fast and smooth. They have fun. They feel proud. + +"Look at us, Mom and Dad!" Anna and Ben say. "We can ride bikes!" + +Mom and Dad watch them. They smile. They are proud too. + +"Happy birthday, Anna and Ben!" they say. "You are amazing!" +Lily and Ben were playing on the beach. They liked to dig in the sand and look for shells. Lily found a big shell that was shiny and pink. She was very happy and showed it to Ben. + +"Look, Ben, I found a pretty shell!" Lily said. + +Ben looked at the shell and wanted it too. He tried to grab it from Lily's hand. Lily did not want to share. She held the shell tight and said, "No, Ben, it's mine!" + +Ben was angry and pushed Lily. Lily fell down and dropped the shell. The shell rolled into the water. Lily and Ben ran after it, but it was too late. A big wave came and took the shell away. + +Lily and Ben were sad and fearful. They had lost the shell and hurt each other. They started to cry. Their mom heard them and came to see what was wrong. She saw them crying on the shore and hugged them. + +"What happened, my loves?" Mom asked. + +"We lost a shell and we fought," Lily said. + +"We're sorry, Mom," Ben said. + +Mom kissed them and said, "It's okay, my loves. I'm sorry you lost the shell, but I'm glad you're safe. Shells are nice, but they are not as important as being kind and sharing. Can you forgive each other and be friends again?" + +Lily and Ben nodded and hugged each other. They said, "We're sorry, Lily. We're sorry, Ben. We're friends again." + +Mom smiled and said, "That's good, my loves. I'm proud of you. Come on, let's go find some more shells. Maybe we can find one for each of you. And maybe we can find one to welcome a new friend, too." +Tommy likes to play with his cars. He has many cars of different colors and sizes. He likes to make them zoom and crash on the floor. He does not like to share his cars with anyone. + +One day, his cousin Lily comes to visit. Lily likes to play with dolls. She has many dolls with fancy dresses and hats. She likes to make them talk and dance on the bed. She does not like to play with cars. + +Lily sees Tommy's cars and wants to play with them. She picks up a red car and says, "This is my car. It is very fast and shiny." Tommy gets angry and says, "No, that is my car. Give it back to me." He tries to grab the car from Lily, but she holds it tight. + +Lily says, "You have many cars. You can share with me. I only have one car." Tommy says, "No, I don't want to share. These are my cars. Go play with your dolls." He ignores Lily and picks up another car. + +Lily feels sad and angry. She says, "You are mean and selfish. You don't know how to play nicely. I don't want to play with you." She throws the red car on the floor and runs to her room. She slams the door and hugs her doll. + +Tommy hears the door slam and the car crash. He looks at the red car on the floor. It has a dent and a scratch. He feels sorry and guilty. He says, "Maybe I was mean and selfish. Maybe I should have shared with Lily. She is my cousin and my friend." He picks up the red car and walks to Lily's room. He knocks on the door and says, "Lily, I'm sorry. Can I play with you?" + +Lily opens the door and sees Tommy holding the red car. She says, "You are sorry? You want to play with me?" Tommy says, "Yes, I am sorry. I want to play with you. Can I see your dolls?" Lily says, "Yes, you can see my dolls. They are very pretty and soft. Can I see your cars?" Tommy says, "Yes, you can see my cars. They are very fast and fun. Can we play together?" Lily says, "Yes, we can play together. We can make the cars and the dolls be friends." Tommy says, "That sounds like a good idea. Let's go to the living room. There is more space there." Lily says, "OK, let's go. But first, can you help me put on my leather jacket? It is cold outside." Tommy says, "Sure, I can help you. Your leather jacket is very fancy and cool." They smile and hug and go to the living room. They play with the cars and the dolls and have a good time. They learn how to share and be nice. They are happy. +Ben liked to dig in the dirt. He liked to find worms and put them in a jar. He thought worms were fun and cool. He did not care if they were brown or white or long or short. He liked all worms. + +One day, he found a very big white worm. He was very happy. He put the white worm in his jar with the other worms. He wanted to show his friends. He invited them to come and see his worms. He said, "Look at my worms! They are so fun and cool! Do you want to play with them?" + +His friends came and looked at his jar. They saw the white worm. They did not like it. They said, "Ew, that is not a worm! That is a snake! It is scary and bad! You should not play with it! It might bite you!" They ran away from Ben and his jar. + +Ben was sad and confused. He did not think the white worm was a snake. He thought it was a worm. He liked it. He wanted to play with it. He did not want his friends to be scared and run away. He did not understand why they did not like his worm. + +He decided to ask his mom. He took his jar to his mom and said, "Mom, look at my worms! They are so fun and cool! But my friends do not like them. They say this white one is a snake. Is it a snake? Why do they not like it?" + +His mom looked at his jar. She saw the white worm. She was surprised and worried. She said, "Ben, that is not a worm. That is a snake. It is dangerous and harmful. You should not play with it. It might bite you or make you sick. You should let it go. It does not belong in a jar. It belongs in the wild. And you should be careful when you dig in the dirt. You might find other things that are not worms. You should always ask me or dad before you touch anything you do not know." + +Ben was shocked and scared. He did not know the white worm was a snake. He did not know it was dangerous and harmful. He did not want to play with it anymore. He did not want to get bitten or sick. He said, "I am sorry, mom. I did not know. I will let it go. I will be careful. I will ask you or dad. Thank you for telling me." + +He took his jar outside. He opened the lid. He let the white worm go. He watched it slither away. He felt sorry for it. He hoped it would find a good home. He learned a lesson. He learned that not everything that looks like a worm is a worm. He learned that some things are better left alone. He learned that he should listen to his friends and his mom and dad. He learned that he should be safe and smart. He learned that he should love and respect all animals. He learned that he should be happy with what he has. He learned that worms are fun and cool. But snakes are not. +Lily liked to play with her mom's jewelry. She thought they were shiny and pretty. She liked to put them on her neck, ears and fingers. She felt like a princess. + +One day, when her mom was not home, Lily saw a big box on the dresser. She opened it and saw many jewelry inside. She was very happy. She took out a necklace that had a blue stone. It looked like the sky. She wanted to wear it. + +She put the necklace around her neck and looked in the mirror. She smiled. She was so beautiful. She wanted to show her mom. She ran to the door. But she tripped on the rug and fell. The necklace broke. The blue stone flew away. It hit the window and cracked it. + +Lily cried. She was scared and sad. She broke the necklace and the window. She knew her mom would be angry. She tried to find the blue stone, but she could not. It was gone. + +She heard a car in the driveway. Her mom was home. Lily hid under the bed. She hoped her mom would not see the mess. But her mom did. She saw the broken necklace, the cracked window and the empty box. She was very angry. She yelled, "Lily, what did you do? This was my grandma's necklace. It was very old and delicate. You ruined it. How could you be so naughty?" + +She looked for Lily. She saw her under the bed. She pulled her out. Lily was shaking. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I just wanted to play. I liked the necklace. It was so shiny and pretty. I didn't mean to break it." + +Her mom did not listen. She slapped Lily on the face. She said, "You are a bad girl. You don't deserve to play with my jewelry. You don't deserve to be my daughter. Go to your room and stay there. I don't want to see you." + +Lily ran to her room. She cried and cried. She wished she never saw the necklace. She wished she never opened the box. She wished her mom would love her. But she knew she would not. She was alone and unhappy. The end. +Lily liked kittens very much. She wanted to have a kitten of her own. One day, she saw a sign that said "Free Kittens". She ran to the house with the sign and knocked on the door. + +A lady opened the door and smiled. She had a box with four kittens inside. She said, "Hello, do you want a kitten? They are very cute and friendly. You can pick one." + +Lily was very happy. She looked at the kittens and saw one that was black and white. She liked that one the most. She said, "Can I have this one, please?" + +The lady said, "Sure, you can have that one. But you have to be very careful with him. He has a broken leg. He fell from the window and hurt himself. He needs a lot of love and care. Can you do that?" + +Lily nodded. She said, "Yes, I can do that. I will love him and take care of him. I will name him Spot." + +The lady said, "That's a nice name. Here, take this blanket and this bottle of milk. You have to feed him every day and keep him warm. He will get better soon. Goodbye, and good luck." + +Lily thanked the lady and took the box with Spot. She was very excited to bring him home. She ran all the way to her house. She did not see the car that was coming fast. She did not hear the horn that was honking. She did not feel the bump that made her drop the box. + +She only heard the scream that came from the box. She only saw the blood that came from the box. She only felt the pain that came from her heart. + +She had lost her kitten. He was gone. He was broken. She was broken. She cried and cried. She wished she had never seen the sign. She wished she had never met Spot. She wished she had never tried to deliver him home. +Tom and Mia liked to play with colors. They had many crayons and paints and papers. They made pictures of animals and flowers and houses. They were happy. + +One day, Tom found a new color in the store. It was a big bottle of purple paint. It was very cheap. Tom liked purple. He bought the paint and took it home. He showed it to Mia. + +"Look, Mia, I have a new color. It is purple. It is my favorite. Do you want to try it?" Tom said. + +Mia nodded. She liked purple too. She took the bottle and opened it. She dipped her brush in the paint and started to make a picture. But something was wrong. The paint was not normal. It was magic. + +As soon as Mia touched the paper with the paint, she felt a strange feeling. She looked at her hand. It was smaller. She looked at Tom. He was smaller too. The paint was making them shrink. + +"Tom, help! The paint is bad. It is making us small. What do we do?" Mia cried. + +Tom was scared. He did not know what to do. He tried to throw away the bottle, but it was too heavy. He tried to call for help, but his voice was too low. He tried to run away, but the floor was too far. + +The paint kept shrinking them. They became smaller and smaller. They could not see each other anymore. They could not see anything anymore. They were lost in the purple paint. They were not happy. +Lily liked to play with her animals. She had many animals, big and small, soft and hard, furry and smooth. She liked to hug them and squeeze them and make them talk. + +One day, she found a new animal in her room. It was green and scaly and had a long tail. It looked like a snake, but it had legs and a mouth with sharp teeth. Lily was curious and picked it up. + +"Hello, animal," she said. "Do you want to play with me?" + +The animal hissed and wriggled in her hand. It did not like to be squeezed. It opened its mouth and bit Lily's finger. Lily screamed and dropped the animal. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" she cried. "Mommy, mommy, help!" + +Mommy came running and saw the animal on the floor. She recognized it as a lizard, a dangerous one that could make Lily sick. She grabbed a broom and swept the animal out of the window. + +"Lily, Lily, are you okay?" she asked. "Where did you get that animal?" + +Lily pointed to her closet. "It was in there, mommy. I wanted to play with it." + +Mommy looked in the closet and saw a hole in the wall. She realized that the animal had come from outside, where there were many lizards and other wild animals. She was angry and scared. + +"Lily, you can't play with any animal you find. Some animals are not fit to be toys. They can hurt you or make you sick. You have to be careful and only play with your own animals, okay?" + +Lily nodded, but she was still crying. Her finger was bleeding and hurting. She wished she had never seen the green animal. She wished she had played with her teddy bear instead. +Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play with boats. They made boats from paper and sticks and put them in the pond. They watched their boats sail on the water and pretended they were pirates. + +One day, a big wind came and blew their boats away. Lily and Tom ran after them, but they could not catch them. They saw their boats sail into a dark tunnel under a bridge. They were fearful of the tunnel. It looked scary and dark. + +"Let's go get our boats," Tom said. He was brave and wanted his boat back. + +"No, I don't want to go," Lily said. She was scared and wanted to go home. + +"Please, Lily, don't be fearful. I will go with you. We can hold hands and say a word that makes us happy," Tom said. He tried to make Lily feel better. + +"What word?" Lily asked. + +"Any word you like. I like the word 'cake'. It makes me think of yummy things," Tom said. + +"Okay, I like the word 'flower'. It makes me think of pretty things," Lily said. + +They held hands and walked into the tunnel. They said their words over and over. "Cake, flower, cake, flower, cake, flower." + +They saw their boats at the end of the tunnel. They were happy and ran to get them. They hugged their boats and each other. They were not fearful anymore. They sailed their boats back to the pond and played some more. They had fun and learned a new word: 'brave'. +Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play in the park. But today, they see a big dog. The dog is smelly and loud. It runs to them and barks. + +"Go away, dog!" Tim says. He is scared. He tries to slap the dog with his hand. But the dog is too fast. It jumps on Tim and licks his face. + +"Help, Sam!" Tim cries. He does not like the dog's tongue. It is wet and sticky. + +Sam is brave. He runs to Tim and grabs the dog's collar. He pulls the dog off Tim and pushes it away. + +"Bad dog!" Sam says. He is angry. He points his finger at the dog. "Leave us alone!" + +The dog is sad. It does not understand. It only wants to play. It lowers its head and walks away. It looks for another friend. + +Tim and Sam hug each other. They are happy. They check their clothes and faces. They are dirty and smelly. + +"Let's go home," Tim says. He is tired. He rubs his chest. It hurts from the dog's paws. + +"OK," Sam says. He is proud. He saved his brother. He holds Tim's hand. "But first, let's wash our hands." + +They go to the fountain and wash their hands. Then they go home. They tell their mom what happened. She is glad they are safe. She gives them a bath and a snack. They feel better. They love their mom. +Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to pretend they were knights and dragons. Ben had a stick for his weapon and Lily had a scarf for her wings. They ran and chased each other, making loud noises. + +"Roar! I am a big dragon and I will eat you, knight!" Lily said. + +"No, you won't! I am a brave knight and I will stop you, dragon!" Ben said. He swung his stick at Lily, but she dodged. + +They played for a long time, until they saw their mom coming. She had a basket with sandwiches and juice for them. + +"Time for lunch, kids!" she called. "Come and eat, it's delicious!" + +Ben and Lily ran to their mom. They were hungry and thirsty. They sat on a blanket and opened the basket. + +"Here, Ben, have a cheese sandwich. And Lily, have a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. And here's some juice for both of you," mom said. + +Ben took his sandwich and bit into it. He smiled. It was delicious. He liked cheese. + +Lily took her sandwich and looked at it. She frowned. She did not like peanut butter and jelly. She wanted cheese too. + +"Mom, I don't want this sandwich. I want cheese," she said. + +"Sorry, Lily, but we only have one cheese sandwich and Ben already has it. You have to eat what you have. It's delicious too," mom said. + +Lily shook her head. She refused to eat her sandwich. She pushed it away. + +"No, I don't like it. It's yucky. I want cheese!" she said. + +Mom sighed. She tried to be patient. + +"Lily, don't be fussy. You have to eat something. You can't have Ben's sandwich. That's not fair. And you can't play with your weapon if you don't eat. You need energy to be a dragon," she said. + +Lily did not listen. She refused to eat her sandwich. She grabbed her scarf and ran away. + +"Fine, I don't need a sandwich. I am a dragon and I can eat anything. I will find something else to eat. Maybe I will eat Ben!" she said. + +She ran back to Ben, who was still eating his sandwich. She tried to snatch it from him, but he held it tight. + +"Hey, stop it, Lily! That's my sandwich! You can't have it!" he said. + +They started to fight over the sandwich. They pulled and pushed and yelled. + +Mom saw them and got angry. She went to them and took the sandwich and the stick and the scarf. + +"That's enough, you two! You are not playing nicely. You are being rude and greedy. You can't have any sandwich or weapon or wings. You have to sit here and think about what you did," she said. + +She made them sit on the blanket and gave them a stern look. + +Ben and Lily felt sorry. They knew they had been bad. They looked at each other and said sorry. + +"Sorry, Ben. I was mean. I should have eaten my sandwich," Lily said. + +"Sorry, Lily. I was selfish. I should have shared my sandwich," Ben said. + +They hugged and made up. + +Mom saw them and smiled. She was glad they were friends again. + +She gave them back their sandwich and their weapon and their wings. + +"OK, kids, you can have your sandwich and your weapon and your wings. But you have to promise to be nice and fair and eat what you have. Do you promise?" she said. + +Ben and Lily nodded. They promised. + +They ate their sandwich and drank their juice. They thanked their mom. + +Then they went back to playing knights and dragons. They had fun. They were happy. +Anna loves animals. She likes to play with her dog, Max, and her hamster, Pip. One day, she sees a new animal in her garden. It is small and furry, with big eyes and a long tail. It is a kitten! + +Anna runs to the kitten and says hello. The kitten is scared at first, but Anna is gentle and friendly. She gives the kitten some milk and a soft blanket. The kitten drinks the milk and purrs. Anna smiles and hugs the kitten. She says, "You are so cute! Do you want to be my friend?" + +The kitten nods and licks Anna's face. Anna laughs and says, "I will call you Lily. You can stay with me and Max and Pip. We will be a happy family. You are welcome here, Lily." + +Anna takes Lily inside her house and shows her to her mom and dad. They are surprised, but they see that Anna and Lily are happy. They say, "Lily is a lovely kitten. You can keep her, Anna, but you have to take good care of her." + +Anna promises to feed, clean, and play with Lily every day. She also introduces Lily to Max and Pip. They are curious, but they are friendly too. They sniff and nuzzle Lily and let her join their games. Lily is happy and grateful. She has found a new home and new friends. She thinks, "Anna is the best. She welcomed me and loved me. I will always love her too." +Lily and Max were playing in the park. They liked to find rocks and paint them with different colors. They had a big box of paints and brushes. + +"Look at this rock, Max. It is big and smooth. I will paint it red and yellow, like a sun," Lily said. + +"That is a nice rock, Lily. I found this rock. It is small and bumpy. I will paint it blue and green, like a frog," Max said. + +They painted their rocks and waited for them to dry. They were excited to see how they looked. + +"Wow, our rocks are so pretty. We improved them with our paints," Lily said. + +"Yes, we did. We are good artists. Do you want to make more rocks?" Max said. + +"Sure, let's find more rocks. Maybe we can make a rock family, or a rock zoo, or a rock garden," Lily said. + +They ran to look for more rocks, happy and creative. They loved to play with rocks and paints. +Lily likes to draw poppies. Poppies are red flowers with black seeds. Lily draws poppies with her crayons on paper. She draws big poppies and small poppies, happy poppies and sad poppies, poppies in the sun and poppies in the rain. + +Lily wants to send her poppy drawings to her grandma. Grandma lives far away and Lily misses her. Lily puts her poppy drawings in an envelope and writes "To Grandma" on it. She asks her mom to help her send the envelope. Mom says yes and takes Lily to the post office. + +At the post office, Lily sees a bad man. The bad man is angry and loud. He pushes people and grabs things. He sees Lily's envelope and snatches it from her hand. He runs away with it. Lily is scared and sad. She cries and calls for her mom. + +Mom hugs Lily and tells her it's okay. She tells the post office worker what happened. The post office worker is kind and helpful. He says he will find the bad man and get Lily's envelope back. He says he will send it to grandma as soon as possible. + +Lily feels better and thanks the post office worker. She hopes grandma will like her poppy drawings. She hopes the bad man will learn to be nice and not take things that are not his. She hopes to see grandma soon and give her a big hug. +Lily and Tom were making a cake with Mom. Mom gave them a big bowl and a spoon. She said, "We need to mix the flour, the sugar, the eggs and the milk. Can you help me?" + +Lily and Tom nodded. They took turns to pour the ingredients into the bowl. Then they tried to mix them with the spoon. But the spoon was too small and the bowl was too full. The batter splashed out of the bowl and made a mess on the table and the floor. + +"Oops!" Lily and Tom said. They looked at Mom. Mom was not happy. She said, "You need to be gentle when you mix. If you mix too hard, you will make a mess and waste the food. Here, let me show you." + +Mom took a bigger spoon and a smaller bowl. She poured some of the batter into the smaller bowl.
