Sarah tried to find somewhere to escape, but she didn't know which way to go. She was so scared that she started to cry. + +Just then Sarah heard a voice near her. She turned around and saw her mom standing there. Her mom said, "Sarah, why did you come out here? Don't you know how dangerous it is?" + +Sarah didn't want to hurt her mom's feelings so she just said, "I wanted to go explore the woods." Her mom looked deeply concerned and told her, "Never do this again. Let's go home." + +As they walked back home, Sarah realized how lucky she was. She had escaped from the wild animal, and her mom had saved her. From now on she would be more careful and stay closer to home. +Once upon a time there was a fragile cat who was feeling brave.

That place was full of flowers, trees, and a river. + +But then he noticed something that made his heart pound. In the distance he saw a huge dog. The cat was scared and wanted to run, but he was too afraid to move. He just stayed there and hoped the dog wouldn't see him. + +The dog got closer and closer, until suddenly he spotted the fragile cat. The cat was ready to run away.

He was three years old and loved to explore the world around him. One day, he saw a blue box with something inside. He picked it up and started to use it. + +As he was using it, he noticed how dull it was. He thought it didn't look very nice and wondered why someone would keep it around. + +He then heard a voice coming from the box, "Why don't you make it your own?" + +Johnny looked around and was surprised to see that the box was talking to him. He said, "Me? How do I make it my own?" + +The box replied, "Try adding some colors. That way it will be brighter and special. It will be a reflection of you!" + +So Johnny started to add colors. He added some red, yellow, and green. Now the box was very bright and colorful. He was proud of the work he did. + +The moral of the story is to never give up on something just because it seems dull.

She closed her eyes and danced. + +When Emily opened her eyes, a shining spirit appeared. It was her grandmother! She giggled as she watched the girls dance, and thanked them for remembering her and keeping her memory alive through their ancient dance. Emily and her sisters were filled with joy and her Dad was so proud. That night, dancing helped Emily and her family to remember the power of their ancient heritage. +Once upon a time, there was a mine full of precious gems and gold. Everyone was so happy to see such beauty! However, one day, a big storm sent the beautiful mine away. Everyone in the village was so sad. + +The little 3-year-old girl Grace was one of the saddest.

She went to the bakery every Thursday to buy a pastry. Today, the baker wanted Mara to sign a really long paper. Mara didn't like signing any paper and felt scared. + +Mara said to the baker, "I don't know how to sign". +The baker looked sternly at Mara and said, "It's easy. Just sign your name here and here." + +Mara felt a bit intimidated and said, "But I can't even read what it says". The baker was getting frustrated and said, "It's easy. Just do it." + +Mara didn't want to sign the paper but she also wanted the pastry. She looked around and noticed that the baker was really busy.

I’d love for you to come and help me in my garden.†So Spot happily went to help Mrs. Brown every day and in return, she gave him the cushion he had asked for. + +This story shows that when we use kindness to give something back in return, it can be more valuable than anything money can buy. +Once upon a time, there was a family of three owls who lived in the forest. The owls were very happy together, but they hadn't found a way to stay warm. + +The biggest owl, the father, was very smart and he knew that he had to ask for help.

They stayed together and were very cozy and warm. + +They learned a valuable lesson that day that by working together, they could find warmth and a solution to their problem. +One day, a little girl named Mia was playing in her room when she found a microphone.

It's time for dinner," she said. + +Mia reluctantly put the microphone away in her toy box and they went to the kitchen. + +That evening, it started to rain. Mia wondered if the microphone was okay and ran back to her room to check. But when she opened the box, the microphone was gone! + +"Mom! The microphone is gone!"

Too much perfume is not nice.†+ +The little girl understood and from then on, she remembered her mum’s advice. She only used a little bit of perfume and the people around her always found it very pleasant. + +The moral of this story is that too much of anything, even nice things like perfume, can be bad for you and for the people around you. +Once there was a boy named Tom.

He watched the bright beam of light and felt a little better. + +Jimmy’s puppy Buddy was following him around. When he noticed the flashlight, Buddy began to bark. Jimmy shushed him and put the flashlight down. He asked Buddy what was wrong. + +“Terrible noises,†whimpered Buddy. “In the hallway.†+ +Jimmy was scared but he decided to bravely go see what was going on. He grabbed a hold of the flashlight, took a deep breath and crept down the hallway. His heart was pounding and he could feel it in his ears. + +He was almost to the end of the hallway when a loud noise came from the other side. He put his hands over his ears and froze. Then he slowly inched closer. Gradually, he peeked around the corner.

Tom wanted to know what was in the sky. So he asked his dad what was up there. His dad smiled and said, "I don't know - why don't you go and find out?" + +Tom was determined to answer his question. So he put on his coat and headed out into the garden. He stared hard up into the sky, but no matter how hard he looked, he couldn't see what was up there. + +Then, he saw something shiny in the distance. As he got closer, he realised it was a big bird! He was so excited he started jumping up and down. The bird was flying really high, so Tom asked it what he could see. + +The bird smiled back and said, "It's so peaceful up here. You can see so many things: the moon and stars, the clouds, and lots of other things too." Tom couldn't believe it! At last he had the answer to his question. He thanked the bird and told it how grateful he was. + +He rushed home to tell his dad all about his adventure, and he never forgot the answer that the bird had given him. +Once there was a boy who loved the sunset.

He tickled her stomach, making Jill giggle and squeal with delight. + +The two were so engrossed in their laughter and play that they didn't notice the big black dog walking up to them. Its bark was alert and its eyes were fierce. Jill's dad shifted and quickly set Jill down. He put his arm in front of her, shielding her from the dog. + +The dog snarled and bared its teeth. Jill's dad stepped back, trying to get himself and Jill away safely. But it was too late. The dog lunged forward and bit his leg. Jill screamed and began to cry. + +Her dad's leg was badly hurt. He was in a lot of pain and did not know what to do. Jill was scared and upset. They hugged each other tight, trying to comfort one another in their difficult situation. + +The two were able to get away, but Jill's dad was limping and his leg was bleeding.

What is happening?†+ +The wise old mouse replied: “The castle is splitting so that it can free the little animals that were trapped inside.

We need it for our room, I will help you to spread it." + +Tommy's mom was very happy to see this and smiled. She replied, "That's very kind of you, Tommy. Thank you so much!" + +They spread out the attractive carpet and it filled up the room with its beauty. Tommy was very proud to have helped and said, "Yay, we did it!" + +The carpet made the room look so much better and Tommy was very happy. He was glad that they needed the carpet to make their living room much more beautiful. +Once upon a time, there was a very rare mystery that nobody could solve. Everyone was so curious and tried to solve it, but no one was successful. + +One day, a little 3 year old girl named Mia decided to take the challenge. She put on her shoes and hat, and then she hurried out the door. + +While she walked, Mia asked everyone she saw, "Do you know the mystery?" But no one knew the answer. + +Finally, Mia arrived at a big tree. She looked inside a hole in the tree and said, "Maybe the mystery is hidden here." As she peered inside, she noticed something bright and shiny. She quickly reached into the hole and pulled out a beautiful diamond heart. + +Laughing with joy, Mia said, "Eureka! I found the rare mystery!" And with that, Mia hurried home with the diamond heart in her hand. + +The end. +Once upon a time there were two friends: Jack and Jessica. They both loved to play together in the park every day. One day, Jessica wanted to show Jack something special - she wanted to show him how she could reverse on her scooter! + +Jessica was so excited as she rode around and round in circles, faster and faster. Jack watched in amazement for a minute. But then he started to feel jealous that he couldn't do it. + +"Come on, Jack!" called Jessica. "You can do it too!" + +But Jack shook his head. He couldn't do it. Jessica felt sad for him and decided to show him another trick - something else he could do. + +"Watch!" she said, as she pedalled forward and stopped suddenly and did a big wake! Jack smiled and clapped and then he tried it himself. He made a few little mistakes at first, but eventually he was able to reverse it! + +Jessica was so proud of her friend and they both laughed until the sun went down. +Once upon a time there was a little girl called Sally. She was walking with her mum in the park. She was very excited. + +Suddenly they found a stone! Sally shouted "I want to wrap it up!" Her mum looked around and found some string, some paper and some glue. + +Sally was very impressed with her wrapping job but she was a bit clumsy. The paper ripped as she was wrapping the stone. Sally gasped and jumped back. + +Mum smiled and said "That's ok! We can just wrap it up again". So they did and Sally was very happy. + +She hugged the wrapped stone tight and ran off to show her friends. +Once there was a girl named Isla who loved drinking juice. Every evening, she'd go to the kitchen and take out a juice carton, then pretend it was her favourite drink. That night, Isla had just finished a carton of juice and was feeling too full to drink any more. But then, something wonderful happened. + +Isla spotted a bottle of juice on the counter, and her eyes lit up. She knew it was wrong to take the juice without asking, but she couldn't help herself. She grabbed the bottle and started guzzling, without even realizing it. + +Suddenly, Isla heard a voice behind her, "Is that my juice?" it said. Isla spun around and saw her mom smiling at her. She felt ashamed and tried to hide the bottle. But it was too late; her mom had already seen it. + +"Isla, you need to be honest," Mom said. "You lied and took juice without asking. Don't you feel bad?" +Isla nodded her head, too ashamed to look at her mom. "It's okay," Mom said. "Just next time, ask before taking." + +Isla smiled and hugged her mom. She understood that sometimes it was okay to make mistakes and that she could always tell the truth. +The mouse was happy. He hopped and jumped around all day, looking for a job. He wanted something to do. + +One day he hopped and jumped into a field of flowers. The scent was sweet and fresh. But the mouse felt something else. He tasted something sour and bitter. It was a sour tasting flower! + +The mouse was annoyed. He had eaten something he did not like. He tried to find something else to eat. + +Suddenly, he heard a voice. +``Hey! Why are you eating my flowers?`` +The mouse looked up and saw a bee. It was angry and buzzing around him. + +The mouse was scared. ``I'm sorry,`` he said. ``I was just looking for something to eat.`` + +The bee didn't look happy. ``My flowers shouldn't be eaten by anyone. They're too special. Jump away now!`` + +The mouse was sad. He wanted the job of eating the sweet flowers, but the bee seemed angry. He jumped away sadly. He found a better job in a field of strawberries. He was happy again! +Once upon a time there was a little girl named Molly. She was three years old and she loved hats. She had a closet full of colorful hats. + +One day while walking in the park, she noticed two kids playing catch with a hat. She went over and asked if she could help. + +The bigger kid said, "No, we don't need any help." + +Molly was a little hurt, but she tried to be cheerful. "I can be really careful," she said. + +The kids laughed and said, "Well, okay". So, Molly joined in and tried to help them. She learned quickly and was able to catch the hat with ease. + +The kids were really impressed and said, "You're really good for a three-year-old. You can join us any time!" + +Molly was so happy she shouted, "Yay!" + +The kids laughed and they had a lot of fun playing catch with Molly and her many colorful hats. +Once upon a time, there was a nice little girl who would go exploring every day. One day, she decided to explore the big house. She opened the big door and stepped in. As she walked through the house, she stumbled into a drawer. She opened the drawer, and to her surprise, there were lots of nice things inside. She found a pretty dress, a toy car and a yummy snack. She put the items into her bag and put the drawer back in its place. While she was walking away, she tripped and stumbled, but she smiled when she saw that all the nice things in her bag were still safe. The little girl was very happy she had stumbled on the drawer, and she taught it was so fun to explore. +John was a 3 year old with a lollipop in his hand. He was excited as he went outside to play in the park. He looked around and noticed an interesting flower. He snapped a photo of the flower to remember it. He was so excited to show his mom. + +John then found a large tree. He was fascinated by its shape and size. So he decided to climb the tree. He carefully used the branches to get closer and closer to the top. + +He made it to the top and was very happy. Suddenly, he heard a loud snap and he looked around. He soon noticed it was his lollipop that had snapped in two. He was sad and started to cry. + +His mom heard him and came running to the tree. She gave him a hug and said, "Why don't you try your new lollipop? It tastes really interesting". + +John smiled. He knew his mom always had something nice to say. He accepted his mom's offer and went off to enjoy his new lollipop. +Once upon a time, there were two friends called Jack and Jill. One day, they were taking a walk and noticed a beautiful planet in the sky. They were both so excited that they ran over to take a closer look. + +Jack said, "Wow, this planet is so peaceful and beautiful! We should split it and both have our own piece of it." Jill disagreed, "No, Jack. That's too selfish. We should share this planet and make it even more peaceful for everybody." + +Jack was about to argue but then noticed the bright, peaceful smile on Jill's face. He realised that sharing the planet was the right thing to do. + +From that day on, Jack and Jill always remembered to share with one another and be generous. They were taught the valuable lesson that sharing with others is the best way to create peace and harmony in the world. +Little John was playing with his rubber. It was smooth, round and oh so bouncy. He loved stretching it and watching it spring back in shape. Little John decided to split the rubber ball in two! He pulled it apart and watched what had been one, become two. + +John was sad because while he had two rubber balls, they were not as nice as his one big one. He went to get his mum who said to him, "John, see what happened when you split something that was so perfect? Now you have two that are not quite as nice." + +Little John was sad, so his mum hugged him and said, "Let's see what happens when you join them together again. Maybe you can make it just as nice as it was before?" + +Little John was a bit scared but he tried. He stretched and stretched the two rubbers together and eventually they became one big, smooth rubber ball again. + +Little John was so happy he ran around the house with the rubber ball. His mum smiled and said, "You taught yourself a valuable lesson today John, that it's usually better to keep something in one piece". +Jack was feeling tough on that day. His mom said he was ready to take the test. He had watched all the movies his mom had bought and he was sure he knew all the answers. + +"Are you ready Jack?" His mom asked. He nodded, but looked a bit scared. + +Jack went into the room. He had never been there before. He saw tables and chairs and coloring things. He felt a little less tough now. + +He was handed the test. His mom had been right, it was easy. Jack answered all of the questions correctly. He wasn't scared anymore, he was proud of himself. + +He smiled to himself as he walked out of the room. His mom was waiting for him. + +"Well how did you do?" She asked. + +"I did great!" Jack replied. + +His mom laughed. "I knew you would do good. Now let's go home and watch your favorite movie to celebrate!" +A black circle was in the sky. It was very beautiful. + +The circle was special. It called out to the little girl. Every day, she heard its call. + +The girl wanted to get closer to the circle. She tried to run toward it, but the circle stayed far away. + +The girl was sad, but she knew what to do. She called out to the circle. She sang and shouted, and soon the circle was getting closer. + +The girl was so happy! She reached out and touched the circle. It was warm and smooth. + +The girl never stopped calling out to the black circle. They were friends forever. +Once upon a time there was a girl named Daisy. She was three years old and very curious. She always wanted to explore and have fun. + +One day, her mom decided to take her to the beach. Daisy was so excited to explore the sandy beach. When they got to the beach, she suddenly saw something cool. "Mom look!" Daisy yelled, pointing at a big beef. + +It was a cow! Daisy was so surprised. She had never seen a cow before. "Where did it come from?" Daisy asked. + +"It must have come from the farm," her mom responded. "Let's get closer and say hello!" + +So, Daisy and her mom walked up to the cow. It was very nice and sweet. Daisy was so happy that she wanted to take the cow home. "Can we keep it?" she asked her mom. + +Her mom laughed and said, "No, we can't. But I'll buy you some beef for dinner tonight, so that you can still have some cow with us!" + +Daisy was delighted and could not wait to have a tasty beef dinner. This was the most amazing surprise ever! Daisy and her mom smiled and quickly made their way home. +Once upon a time, there lived a little girl called Mia. She was three-years-old and loved to explore the world around her. + +One day, Mia went on a walk with her mother and found a unique case lying in the grass. She asked her mother what was inside the case. + +Mia's mother replied, "I don't know, why don't we pray and ask God what is inside the case?". + +Mia knelt down and said a prayer. Suddenly, a little bird flew out of the case and flew away. Mia was very surprised and exclaimed, "That's so special, God answered my prayer!". + +The end. +Once there was a little boy who wanted to build the biggest, tallest tower the world had ever seen. So he asked his Mom for a measure. + +"Well, that would be very expensive, honey," said Mom. + +"But Mom, I need a measure to makes sure I build my tower as tall as possible!" begged the little boy. + +"Okay, okay, but don't forget to do it right!" said Mom as she handed the little boy a shiny, new measure. + +The little boy was so excited! He grabbed the measure and dashed outside to start building his tower. He was so busy measuring and building that he almost forgot to watch the sunset. + +He worked until the sun had almost set, and when he finished building his tower, he was amazed. He had built the biggest, tallest tower the world had ever seen! +Once upon a time, there lived a huge parrot. He lived on the top of a very tall tree. + +One day, the parrot flew down from his tree. He saw a little girl playing in the garden. + +The parrot flew over to the little girl and said, "Hi there!" + +The little girl was very surprised. She said, "Hello! What's your name?" + +The parrot said, "My name is Captain Parrot." + +The little girl was so excited. She said, "Wow! Can you fly with me?" + +The parrot said, "Yes! That would be fun." So the little girl and the parrot flew up very high in the sky. They flew so high that they could see the whole world. + +Suddenly, something amazing happened. A rainbow appeared in the sky! They both smiled and the parrot said, "That was so amazing!" + +Then the parrot flew back down to the tall tree and the little girl went back to the garden. From then on, they were the best of friends. +Once upon a time, there was a little lizard named Joe. Joe was a brave lizard, but he didn't always make the smartest decisions. + +Joe was exploring outside of his house one day when he caught sight of a big, juicy bug. Joe had never seen something like it before, and he was so curious. + +He asked his mom, “What’s that bug? Can I eat it?†+His mom replied, “No, Joe. That’s a cockroach. It’s very yucky and you shouldn’t touch it.†+ +But Joe was too curious. He still wanted to find out what it was, so he reached out a hand to touch it. The next thing he knew, he had been stung by the cockroach and was rushing back to his house with a sore arm. + +That night, Joe’s mom gave him a hug, “Joe, it’s important to learn and listen. Being too curious and stupid can hurt you." Joe nodded his head in agreement and promised he’d be more careful next time. + +And, with the help of his mom’s wise words and lessons, Joe learned the importance of not being too curious and of listening the next time. +Once upon a time, there were two friends - Jack and Jill. They decided to play a game of hide and seek in the cabin near their homes. Jack was in charge of performing the count. While Jackie was counting, Jill jumped into a fake cabin and hid. When it was time for Jill to come out of hiding, she couldn't find her way out. Jack searched for her but he could not find her anywhere. + +Jack was getting worried and anxious. In frustration, he started banging on the walls of the cabin. Suddenly, there was a loud noise coming from inside the cabin. Jack rushed in to find Jill trembling in fear. She had found the way out of the cabin but the noise had scared her and she had decided to return back to her hiding spot. + +Jack and Jill sadly realized they should have been more prepared and sensible while playing hide and seek. From that day onwards, they took extra care while playing such games. + +The moral of this story is that it's important to use your common sense and judgement when playing games. It's not safe to hide uncomfortably or in a dangerous place. +Gus was feeling tired and unhappy. He had been running around all morning, and now he was tired. His mom saw how tired he was and decided to give him a massage. Gus was confused at first, but then he felt much better. He relaxed as his mom started to stretch his arms, legs, and back. He felt his muscles loosen up and his body became alert. + +"Mom, what are you doing?", he asked. + +"This is a massage," she replied. "It helps to relax the body and make you feel better. Do you like it?" + +Gus nodded. + +He enjoyed the massage so much that he asked for another one the next day. Soon, he was asking for a massage every day. Gus felt energized and happier when his mom gave him one. He knew he could always count on her to make him feel better. +Once upon a time there were two bears called Bob and Benny. Bob and Benny were playing in the winter snow. Benny found an icy twig and he showed it to Bob. They saw that it was really icy and cold. + +Bob said, "Let's make a snowman with this twig!" Benny agreed and they built a big, icy snowman together. The snowman had an icy twig as his nose and Benny thought he looked really funny. + +After they had finished building the snowman, Bob and Benny decided to recommend it to their friends. They went all around the forest, telling their friends about the icy twig snowman. Everybody who saw it thought it was wonderful. + +They even decided to keep the twig and put it on the snowman every winter. All the animals in the forest were so happy to see the twig snowman every year. + +And that's how two bears and an icy twig made the forest a little bit brighter. +Jimmy had a jug. It was very important to him. Whenever he wanted a drink, he would use it. + +One day, when Jimmy wanted a drink, the jug was not available. He asked his mommy, "Mommy, where is the jug?". + +His mommy answered, "I gave it to your brother, he's thirsty too". + +Jimmy didn't like this and insisted his mommy gives him back the jug. He said, "No, I need it. Give it back to me". + +His mommy refused and said, "No, you cannot have it. You must share it with your brother". + +Jimmy shouted and cried, but his mommy refused to budge. Jimmy would never get the jug back. +Once upon a time, there lived a mighty elephant. The elephant loved playing in the forest, admiring the beautiful trees, and listening to the birds singing. + +One day, the elephant looked up and noticed the amazing ceiling in the sky! The mighty elephant was so curious that he wanted to find out what that ceiling was. + +So, the elephant asked his friend the monkey: "What is that mighty ceiling?" + +The monkey hopped around excitedly and said, "That is the sky. You can't do that!", pointing up to the ceiling. + +The elephant was so determined to touch the amazing sky that he tried his best to reach it. But, alas, he could not do it! He simply could not find a way to do it. + +The monkey laughed as the mighty elephant sadly accepted his defeat.

Sally had never been on an adventure before and was very excited to go on one. She flew to an island far away to explore. + +When Sally arrived, she couldn't believe her eyes. The island was huge! She wanted to sort through all the things on the island to see how they were different. + +First she looked at the trees. She noticed that some of them were short and some of them were tall. She kept sorting things until the sun went down. + +When Sally's adventure finished, she was sad. She wanted to stay and explore the island more, but she couldn't. She spread her wings and flew far away, dreaming of returning back to the island one day. +It was a sunny day, and two cute rabbits were hopping around in a meadow. The rabbits were excited to be out in the sun and wanted to explore. One of the rabbits notice an organized burrow and wanted to investigate. + +"Let's go!" said the first rabbit. + +"No way!" said the second rabbit shaking her head. "It looks too organized! I'm scared!" + +The first rabbit laughed. "Don't worry, let's just take a peek," she said. Suddenly the second rabbit felt calm and knew it was a safe idea. + +The two rabbits hopped closer and peaked into the burrow. It was cozy and comforting inside. The second rabbit felt so relaxed that she laid her head down and began to doze off. + +The first rabbit smiled and laid down next to her friend. The two bunny friends dozed off and enjoyed the peaceful day in the sun. +Once there was a little boy named Charlie. Charlie was a very adventurous boy who loved to explore and dream. Everyday he would go out and explore the world around him. + +One day, Charlie was walking around when he spotted a really beautiful vest lying on the ground. He picked it up and admired it. It was so clear and pretty. + +Charlie excitedly showed the vest to his mom. "Look what I found mommy!" he said with a big smile. + +His mom scowled and shook her head. "That's not yours Charlie," she said sternly. "You should dream up something else if you want something that you don't already have." + +Charlie sadly put the vest back down and walked away. He was so disappointed that he'd have to dream up something else. He thought it was so clear and pretty and he wanted to play with it. + +The next day, the vest was gone. Charlie's dream had been broken. He was left with nothing but sadness and regret. +Once upon a time, there was a grumpy old man. He lived alone in an old house with his only friend Earth. Earth was a small, green caterpillar who wriggled all over the garden. + +One day, the old man asked Earth to do something for him. He took a deep breath and said, "Earth, I request you to go and get me a yummy, juicy apple." + +Earth waved his little antennae and smiled. He said, "Sure, why not!" And quickly wriggled off to find an apple. + +The old man waited patiently. When Earth returned with the apple, the old man smiled and thanked him. + +After that, the old man never felt grumpy anymore. Whenever he requested something, Earth was always ready to help. +Once there was a wise man who liked to talk to the animals in the nearby forest. He was very kind and knew a lot about how things worked in nature. Every day, the man would spend time with the animals, discussing different things. + +One day, the man decided to talk to the squirrels about food. The man said, "I heard that corn is a very delicious treat. What do you think?" + +The squirrels thought about this and agreed that corn was a very tasty snack and it was found in many different forests. They also said that it was a great source of energy and nutrition. + +The man was very happy to hear this. He thanked the squirrels for their wise advice, and they all hugged goodbye. From that day on, the man made sure to eat plenty of corn! +Once upon a time there was a small boy who was very embarrassed. He was embarrassed because other kids at school would laugh at him when he tried to talk. He knew he needed to do something about it, so he made a plan. + +The next morning, the boy brought a worm to school. He wanted to show everyone that he wasn't so embarrassed anymore. He showed the worm to his friends, who were all impressed. + +But then, disaster struck. When the teacher came into the classroom she noticed the worm and immediately started to scold the boy. He was so embarrassed by the situation that he ran out of the classroom and never returned. + +The moral of the story is that it is important to think about the consequences of our plans before taking action. The boy should have realised that performing in front of an audience isn't something to be taken lightly - and he should have thought about what could go wrong. +Once upon a time, there was a curious little boy, who would often take careless risks. One day he decided to explore the woods near his house, despite warnings from his parents. When he got to the woods, he saw a strange bird at the edge of a deep pond. The bird whistled in an odd way that made the boy very curious. + +He thought, “I wonder what the bird is trying to tell me.†So he decided to get closer. + +The bird spoke to the boy, “Be careful. You don’t want to get too close.†But the boy was too brave and too curious, so he kept getting closer. + +Finally, the bird said, “No. I strongly suggest that you stay away from that pond. It’s too dangerous for you.†+ +But the boy kept approaching and he eventually slippped and fell into the pond. He cried for help, but nobody hear his calls for help. + +The bird flew away sadly, as the boy had been too careless. The boy was never seen again. + +Lesson learned: Never take careless risks. +Once upon a time, there were two friends named Tim and Tom. Both of them were very curious and liked interesting things. + +One day, Tim saw something very curious in his garden. He called Tom over to take a look. + +"What is it?" Tom asked. + +"It's a zero," Tim said. + +"What's a zero?" Tom asked. + +"It's something that looks like a big, round rock," Tim said. + +Tom thought it was very interesting and wondered what to do with it. Then he had a great idea. + +"Let's wash it!" Tom said. + +So they took the zero to the stream and washed it with soap. As they scrubbed, the zero started to shine. + +When they were done, the zero looked brand new. They both thought it was very pretty. + +They smiled at each other and went off to play, happy that they had such an interesting adventure together. +Once upon a time, there lived a little girl named Daisy. Daisy had bright eyes and a happy face. She liked to play in the park and have fun with her friends. + +One day, when she was playing in the park, Daisy saw little butterflies. They were so gentle and mild. She smiled when she saw them. + +Daisy wanted to unite with the butterflies so that she could join in their game too. She asked the butterflies, "Will you let me join you?". + +The butterflies said, "Yes but first you must show us your happy face". So Daisy showed them her big happy smile and the butterflies flew close to her face. + +They all began to play together, making Daisy very happy. From that day onward, Daisy could always count on her friends the butterflies to help her unite with the world. +Once upon a time, there was a mama and a girl. The mama wanted to teach the girl something important. + +Mama took the girl to a special place and explained to her about a passport. The passport would help the girl travel if she ever wanted to explore beyond her home town. + +The girl was excited to learn about this and asked many questions. Mama patiently answered each one, until the girl understood everything. + +Mama also taught the girl about being successful. She explained that the passport would only help her travel, it could not guarantee that she would have a successful journey. + +The mama reminded the girl that she would need to use all of her energy, courage and knowledge to be successful. + +The girl thanked her mama for all her help and promised to take her advice and be successful. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl called Lucy. She was three years old and lived in a big house all by herself, so she felt very lonely. Lucy always wished she had a friend to play with. + +One day in spring, Lucy was outside looking at the flowers. She thought they were so pretty and made her feel less lonely. Suddenly, Lucy heard an unusual sound nearby. It was a tiny little chirping. She looked around and saw a little bird sitting on a tree branch. + +Lucy asked the bird if it wanted to be her friend. The bird nodded yes and Lucy was so happy. She wanted to show the bird how much she liked it. So Lucy leaned in and kissed the bird on the top of its head. + +The bird smiled, and they both played together in the garden until it was time for Lucy to go inside. Lucy waved goodbye and said she would see the bird again in the spring. +Once upon a time, there was a gifted bear. He wanted to escape the hotel he was staying in. He tried to open the door but it was locked. He noticed that the window in his room was open, so he climbed through it. Outside, he saw the big, wide world and breathed in the fresh air. He ran through the forest and found a small cave. The bear was happy because he had escaped the hotel. He knew that this cave was more fun and he could play games in there all day long. The bear smiled and began to explore his new home. +One day, Emma and her mom walked to the park. When they arrived, Emma's mom got out a special red box that was filled with matches. + +Emma asked, "What are those for, Mommy?" + +Her Mom replied, "We are going to play a tasting game." + +Emma was excited! Her mom lit the first match and let Emma taste it. It had a funny smell. + +"This is interesting!" said Emma. + +Her Mom lit a second match and passed it to Emma. This one had an even stranger smell. + +They played the game together until all the matches had been tasted. Emma's favorite one was the red match. It had a sweet smell that made her mouth water. + +"That one was the best!" exclaimed Emma. + +Her Mom smiled and said, "Now that was a fun game!" +Nan had a big chair in her room. It was big enough for two people. She wanted to try and see how she fit in it. She went to her room and sat in the chair. + +"Ahhh, this chair is so soft," Nan said to the chair. + +The chair didn't respond. + +Nan looked around her room. She noticed the walls were a boring shade of white, and there wasn't much texture. She wanted to make the room brighter. + +Nan decided to paint some of the walls in bright colors. She got up from the chair and got to work. But as she was painting, she noticed something strange. She heard a voice coming from the chair. + +"Hello," the voice said. + +Nan was confused. Who was talking to her? She stopped painting and listened closely. + +Nan realized it was the chair! It wasn't deaf like she thought. It was making sounds! Nan was so excited. She sat in the chair again and asked it what it wanted to say. + +"I want to be part of your room," the chair said. + +Nan smiled and said, "I would love that!" + +From then on, Nan and the chair were friends. Together they made the room full of color and texture. +Jim was feeling very upset one day, so he decided to go lie down on his bed. He loved to cuddle with his favorite sock. It was soft and warm and always made him feel better. + +But when he reached down to grab it, he couldn't find it! Jim got more and more upset, and started to look everywhere for his sock. + +He searched his bedroom, the living room, and even the kitchen. But it was nowhere to be found. Then Jim looked in the closet and there it was! His sock was tucked neatly into a corner. + +Jim was so happy to have found his sock that he hugged it tight. He was no longer upset, but content to have his favorite sock with him again. +Once upon a time, there was a girl who liked to help. Every day, she tried to do something kind for someone else. + +One day, she decided to pick a flower for her mom. She went outside and saw a beautiful fit flower. She decided it was just right for her mother. + +But it was too high for her to reach! The girl said, "How can I get the flower?" + +Suddenly, an animal popped out. It was a friendly bunny. The bunny said, "Hop! I can help you get the flower." + +The bunny lifted the girl up and together they got the flower. The girl said thank you and gave the bunny a big hug. + +The bunny gave the girl the flower and said, "I'm glad I could help!" + +The girl took the flower back home to her mom. Her mom was so happy and said, "What a nice fit flower!" +Once upon a time there was a large grandmother who loved to rise early and watch the sunrise. One morning, when she went out to her porch, she heard a loud crashing noise. Grandmother carefully walked towards the noise and saw a little boy throwing rocks at something. + +The little boy looked up and saw Grandmother. “I’m going to break it!†he shouted. Grandmother asked him what he was trying to do. + +The little boy said, “I’m trying to break this big rock, but it’s too strong!†Grandmother smiled and said, “Sometimes it’s better to work with what you have instead of trying to destroy it!†+ +The little boy looked thoughtful, then sighed. He put down the rock and walked away. + +Grandmother watched him go, glad he had learned the lesson she was trying to teach him.

I was worried. I wanted to read the book," Jill said. + +"It's okay, Jill. I'm not mad. I'm glad you like to read. But you have to be careful with things you don't know.

We can peek inside and see what is there. Maybe there is a surprise!" Lily said. + +Tom was curious. He liked surprises. He followed Lily to the slide. They climbed up the ladder and looked at the hole. It was dark and empty. + +"See, there is nothing there. It is boring. Let us go on the slide." Lily said. + +But Tom did not want to go. He was still scared. He tried to go back down the ladder, but he slipped and fell. He hurt his arm and cried. + +Lily was sorry. She did not mean to make Tom fall. She ran to him and hugged him. + +"I am sorry, Tom. I did not want you to get hurt. Are you okay?" Lily said. + +But Tom was not okay. He was in pain and angry. He pushed Lily away and shouted. + +"Go away, Lily! You are mean! You made me fall! You are not my friend anymore!" Tom said. + +Lily was sad. She did not understand why Tom was so mad. She wanted to help him and say sorry, but he did not want to talk to her. He ran away to his mom and told her what happened. + +Lily was alone. She felt empty and bad. She had lost her friend and got in trouble. She wished she had never seen the slide. She wished she had never made Tom frown. +Lily and Max were twins who loved to play with their toys. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big box that they pretended was a spaceship. They would put on their helmets and fly to different planets in the universe. + +One day, they decided to visit a planet that was very lively. It had many animals and plants and colors. They landed their spaceship and got out to explore. They saw a big bird with blue feathers and a long tail. They saw a furry animal with stripes and a big smile. They saw a flower that smelled like candy. + +"Wow, this planet is so fun!" Lily said. "Let's play with the animals and the flowers!" + +"Okay, but we have to be careful," Max said. "We don't want to spoil anything. We have to be nice to the planet and the things that live here." + +They agreed and started to play. They petted the furry animal and gave it a hug. They smelled the flower and said thank you. They waved to the bird and said hello. + +The bird was curious and flew closer to them. It saw their helmets and their spaceship. It liked shiny things and wanted to have them. It flew to the spaceship and pecked at the box. It made a hole in the box and took out some of the toys inside. It flew away with the toys in its beak. + +Lily and Max heard a noise and ran back to their spaceship. They saw the hole and the missing toys. They saw the bird flying away with their things. + +"Hey, stop!" Lily shouted. "That's our spaceship and our toys! You can't take them!" + +"That's not nice!" Max shouted. "You spoiled our spaceship and our game! Give them back!" + +But the bird did not listen. It flew faster and farther. It did not care about Lily and Max. It only cared about its shiny things. + +Lily and Max were sad and angry. They did not like the bird. They did not like the planet anymore. They wanted to go home. + +They fixed their spaceship with some tape and some paper. They put on their helmets and got inside. They said goodbye to the furry animal and the flower. They did not say goodbye to the bird. + +They flew away from the planet and back to their home. They were glad to see their mom and dad and their other toys. They told them what happened and how they felt. + +Mom and dad hugged them and said they were sorry. They said they were proud of them for being nice to the planet and the things that lived there. They said they were sorry that the bird was not nice to them. They said they would get them new toys and a new box. + +Lily and Max smiled and said thank you. They said they still liked the universe and wanted to explore more planets. But they said they would be more careful and watch out for bad birds. + +They played with their new toys and their new box. They had fun and forgot about the bird. They were happy and lively again. +Sara and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big red ball. They would kick it, throw it, and roll it on the grass. They shared the ball and had fun. + +One morning, they woke up early and saw the sunrise. The sky was pink and orange and yellow. It was very pretty. They wanted to play with the ball before breakfast. They put on their shoes and ran outside. + +"Look, Ben, the ball is shiny in the sun!" Sara said. + +"Yes, Sara, it is. Let's play catch!" Ben said. + +They tossed the ball to each other, laughing and jumping. But then, something bad happened. The ball hit a sharp rock and broke. It made a loud pop and went flat. Sara and Ben were sad and shocked. + +"Oh no, our ball!" Sara cried. + +"It's broken!" Ben said. + +They looked at the rock that broke their ball. It was gray and hard and ugly. They were angry and envious. + +"Stupid rock! Why did you break our ball?" Sara yelled. + +"You are mean and ugly! We don't like you!" Ben yelled. + +They kicked the rock and threw stones at it. They wanted to make it go away. But the rock did not move or care. It just stayed there, cold and silent. + +Sara and Ben realized that they could not fix their ball or hurt the rock. They felt sorry and tired. They hugged each other and walked back to the house. They hoped that their mom would have a new ball for them. They still loved the sunrise, but they did not love the rock. +Sara and Tom are twins. They like to look at the stars at night. They have a big window in their room. They can see many stars from their bed. + +One night, Sara has an idea. She says to Tom, "Let's prepare a surprise for Mom and Dad. Let's make them a star card. We can use paper, scissors, glue and glitter." + +Tom likes the idea. He says, "Yes, let's do it. We can make a big star and a small star. The big star is for Mom and the small star is for Dad. They will love it." + +They get out of bed and find the things they need. They cut out two stars from the paper. They glue glitter on them. They write their names on the back. They are very careful and quiet. They do not want to wake up Mom and Dad. + +They finish their star card. They are very proud of it. They put it on the table in the living room. They sneak back to their room. They look at the stars again. They say, "Good night, stars. Good night, Mom and Dad. We love you." They fall asleep with a smile. +Tom loved his new pet parrot. He named him Max and taught him how to say hello, bye-bye, and good boy. Max was a brilliant parrot. He could repeat any word that Tom said to him. Tom liked to play with Max and make him talk. + +One day, Tom had a big test at school. He had to learn many words and numbers. He was very nervous. He wanted to do well and make his mom and dad proud. He studied hard at home with his books and his parrot. He asked Max questions and Max answered them. Tom thought it was fun and easy. + +The next day, Tom went to school with his backpack and his lunch box. He was ready for the test. He sat at his desk and waited for the teacher. The teacher gave him a paper with many questions. Tom looked at the paper and smiled. He knew all the answers. He had learned them with Max. + +He started to write the answers on the paper. He wrote hello, bye-bye, and good boy. He wrote them over and over again. He thought he was doing great. He finished the paper and gave it to the teacher. He was very happy. + +The teacher looked at the paper and frowned. She did not understand. She called Tom to her desk and asked him, "Tom, what is this? Why did you write these words? These are not the answers to the test. These are the words that your parrot says." + +Tom was shocked. He realized his mistake. He had not learned the real words and numbers. He had only learned the words that Max said. He felt very silly and sad. He wished he had studied better. He wished he had not listened to his parrot. He said to the teacher, "I'm sorry, teacher. I thought these were the answers. I learned them with my parrot. He is a brilliant parrot. He can answer any question." +Lily and Tom were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big bike. It was red and shiny. It had two wheels and a bell. + +"Can we ride the bike?" Lily asked Tom. + +"I don't know. It is not our bike. Maybe it belongs to someone else," Tom said. + +"But it looks so fun. And no one is here. Please, Tom, let's ride the bike," Lily begged. + +Tom looked around. He did not see anyone. He wanted to ride the bike too. He nodded to Lily. + +"Okay, but only for a little bit. And be careful. Don't go too fast or too far," he said. + +They ran to the bike. Lily got on the seat and Tom got on the back. They pushed the pedals and the bike moved. They felt the wind in their hair and the sun on their faces. They rang the bell and laughed. + +They rode the bike around the park. They saw flowers and trees and birds and squirrels. They felt happy and free. + +But they did not see the sign. It was small and black. It had a picture of a skull and a word. The word was poison. + +The sign was near a pond. The pond had green water and bubbles. It smelled bad. It was not a good pond. It was a different pond. + +Lily and Tom did not know that. They thought the pond was pretty. They wanted to see it closer. They rode the bike to the pond. + +But the bike was too fast. They could not stop. They went over the sign and into the pond. The water splashed and the bike sank. Lily and Tom screamed. + +They tried to swim. But the water was sticky and bitter. It hurt their eyes and their mouths. It made them sick. + +They cried for help. But no one heard them. No one came. They were alone in the pond. They were scared and sad. + +They wished they had not ridden the bike. They wished they had listened to Tom. They wished they had stayed away from the pond. + +They wished they had never seen the poison. +Ben and Mia were playing with their toy cars in the backyard. They liked to make them zoom and crash and honk. Sometimes they pretended to be drivers and talked to each other. + +"Beep beep, I'm a big truck!" Ben said, holding a red car. + +"I'm a fast car, I can catch you!" Mia said, holding a blue car. + +They chased each other around the grass and the dirt. They had a lot of fun. + +But then, Ben saw something shiny on the ground. He stopped his car and picked it up. It was a nail. It was long and sharp and metal. + +"Look, Mia, I found a nail!" Ben said, showing it to her. + +"Wow, that's a cool nail!" Mia said, reaching for it. + +But Ben pulled it away. He wanted to keep it for himself. + +"No, it's mine! I found it!" Ben said, holding it tight. + +"Please, can I see it?" Mia said, feeling sad. + +"No, go away!" Ben said, turning his back to her. + +Mia felt angry. She wanted to play with the nail too. She thought of a plan. She took her blue car and drove it behind Ben. She pressed a button on the car. The car made a loud noise and started to reverse. + +"Vroom vroom, I'm reversing!" Mia said, smiling. + +Ben heard the noise and turned around. He saw the blue car coming towards him. He was scared. He dropped the nail and ran away. + +"Help, help, the car is chasing me!" Ben said, screaming. + +Mia picked up the nail and followed him. She caught up with him and tapped him on the shoulder. + +"Tag, you're it!" Mia said, laughing. + +Ben stopped and looked at her. He saw the nail in her hand. He felt sorry. + +"I'm sorry, Mia. I was mean. Can we share the nail?" Ben said, apologizing. + +Mia smiled and nodded. She gave him the nail. + +"Sure, we can share. It's an incredible nail. We can use it for our cars." Mia said, forgiving. + +They hugged and went back to their cars. They used the nail to make holes and scratches and sounds. They played together and had more fun. They were happy. +Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play together. One day, Sara has a bad tooth. It hurts a lot. She tells Tom, "I have to visit the dentist. He will help my tooth." + +Tom is scared of the dentist. He says, "No, Sara, don't go. The dentist is mean. He will make your tooth worse. He will use a big drill and a sharp needle. He will make you cry." + +Sara is smart. She knows that Tom is wrong. She says, "Tom, you are silly. The dentist is nice. He will make my tooth better. He will use a small tool and a soft cotton. He will make me smile." + +Tom is stubborn. He does not listen to Sara. He says, "Sara, you are foolish. The dentist is bad. He will make your tooth gone. He will use a big pliers and a hard metal. He will make you scream." + +Sara is sad. She does not want to argue with Tom. She says, "Tom, you are my friend. I want you to be happy. But I have to go to the dentist. He will help me. Please, don't be mad at me." + +Tom is angry. He does not want to lose Sara. He says, "Sara, you are not my friend. You are a traitor. You choose the dentist over me. Go away. I don't want to see you again." + +Sara is shocked. She does not understand why Tom is so mean. She says, "Tom, please, don't say that. I still like you. I will come back soon. We can play again." + +Tom is cold. He does not care about Sara. He says, "No, Sara, you can't come back. You are not welcome here. You are a liar. You will never play with me again." + +Sara is hurt. She does not know what to do. She cries and runs away. She goes to the dentist. He is kind and gentle. He fixes her tooth. He gives her a sticker and a candy. He tells her, "You are a brave and smart girl. You did a great job." + +Sara is grateful. She thanks the dentist. She feels better. She wants to go back to Tom. She hopes he will forgive her. She misses him. She loves him. + +But Tom is gone. He moved away. He does not want to see Sara. He does not want to talk to her. He does not want to be her friend. He hates her. + +Sara is alone. She has no one to play with. She has no one to talk to. She has no one to love. She is sad. She is sorry. She is lonely. + +The end. +Lily was a lovely girl who liked to learn new things. She went to a school where a kind lady would teach her and her friends how to read, write, and draw. Lily loved her school and her teacher very much. + +One day, Lily saw a big red ball in the playground. She wanted to play with it, but it belonged to another girl named Anna. Anna was not very nice to Lily. She would say mean things and take her toys. Lily did not like Anna at all. + +When Anna was not looking, Lily took the ball and ran away. She thought it would be fun to have the ball for herself. She did not think about how Anna would feel. She did not think about how her teacher would feel. + +But soon, Lily heard Anna crying. She looked back and saw Anna looking for her ball. She also saw her teacher coming to see what was wrong. Lily felt a bad feeling in her chest. She knew she had done something wrong. She knew she had hurt Anna and her teacher. She felt regret. + +She ran back to Anna and gave her the ball. She said, "I'm sorry, Anna. I should not have taken your ball. It was not nice of me. Can you forgive me?" Anna was surprised, but she nodded. She said, "Thank you, Lily. I'm sorry, too. I should not have been mean to you. Can we be friends?" Lily smiled and nodded. She said, "Yes, we can. I'm glad you are not sad anymore." + +Her teacher saw them and smiled, too. She said, "Well done, Lily. You did the right thing. You learned a very important lesson today. You learned how to say sorry and how to be kind. I'm very proud of you." Lily hugged her teacher and said, "Thank you, teacher. You are the best. You teach me so many things. I love you very much." Her teacher hugged her back and said, "I love you, too, Lily. You are a lovely girl." +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. They run and jump and slide and swing. They have fun. + +One day, they bring sandwiches for lunch. Tom has a cheese sandwich. Sam has a ham sandwich. They sit on a bench and eat. The sandwiches are warm and yummy. + +But then, a big dog comes. The dog is hungry. He sees the sandwiches. He barks and runs to the bench. He wants to eat the sandwiches. + +Tom and Sam are scared. They hold their sandwiches tight. They do not want to share with the dog. The dog jumps and tries to grab the sandwiches. He is not nice. + +A lady sees the dog. She is the dog's owner. She calls the dog. She says, "Bad dog! No sandwiches for you!" She puts a leash on the dog. She says, "I'm sorry, boys. He is not supposed to do that. He has his own food at home." + +Tom and Sam are happy. They say, "Thank you, lady." They finish their sandwiches. They learn that some dogs are not friendly. They learn to be careful with their food. They learn to be grateful for what they have. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play with blocks. They have many blocks of different colors and shapes. They can make houses, towers, cars and animals with the blocks. + +One day, they decide to organize their blocks. They want to make a big city with many buildings and roads. They say to each other: + +"Let's put the red blocks here. They can be the fire station and the fire trucks." + +"OK. And let's put the blue blocks there. They can be the water and the boats." + +"Good idea. And let's put the yellow blocks in the east. They can be the sun and the flowers." + +They work hard and have fun. They sort their blocks by color and shape. They make a colorful city with many things to see and do. + +They are very proud of their city. They show it to their mom and dad. They say: + +"Look at our city. We organized our blocks. It is very colorful and nice." + +Mom and dad smile and clap. They say: + +"Wow, your city is amazing. You did a great job. You are very clever and creative." +Tom and Sue were husband and wife. They lived in a small house with a blue door. They liked to work in the garden and watch the birds. But sometimes they had fights. They would yell and say mean things to each other. + +One day, they had a big fight. Tom said Sue was lazy and Sue said Tom was selfish. They were so angry that they did not talk to each other for a long time. They did not eat together or sleep together. They were very sad and lonely. + +Then, one night, there was a storm. The wind was loud and the rain was hard. The thunder made a big noise and the lightning made a bright flash. Tom and Sue were scared. They ran to the living room and saw each other. They looked at each other and felt sorry. + +"Tom, I'm sorry I was mean to you," Sue said. + +"Sue, I'm sorry I was mean to you, too," Tom said. + +They hugged and kissed and said they loved each other. They decided to settle their fight and be nice to each other. They went to bed and cuddled. They were happy and warm. + +The next day, the sun was shining and the birds were singing.

Settle your fights and be nice to each other. +Anna and Ben were playing in the living room. They had a big blanket that they used to make a fort. They pretended that they were in a castle and that they had to defend it from dragons and monsters. + +"Roar!" Ben said, making a scary face. "I am a dragon and I will eat you!" + +"No, you are not!" Anna said, laughing. "You are my brother and you are fake!" + +She threw a pillow at him and he fell down. They both giggled and hugged each other. + +"Let's have a snack," Anna said. "I am hungry." + +They went to the kitchen and saw a plate of cookies on the table. They looked yummy and smelled good. + +"Can we have some, Mom?" Ben asked. + +"Sure, but only one each," Mom said. "They are very sweet and you need to eat healthy food too." + +Anna and Ben each took a cookie and bit into it. They made a face and spit it out. + +"Yuck!" Anna said. "This tastes bad!" + +"Yuck!" Ben agreed. "This tastes like soap!" + +Mom came over and looked at the cookies. She smiled and said, "Those are not cookies, my dears. Those are soap bars that I made for the bathroom. I put them on the plate to dry. The real cookies are in the jar." + +She pointed to a jar on the counter that had real cookies inside. They looked yummy and smelled good too. + +"Oops!" Anna and Ben said. "We are sorry, Mom." + +"That's okay," Mom said. "It was a mistake. But you learned a lesson. You should not take things without asking. Sometimes things are not what they seem. And you should always taste before you swallow." + +Anna and Ben nodded and said, "Yes, Mom." + +They hugged Mom and said, "We love you." + +Mom hugged them back and said, "I love you too." + +She gave them each a real cookie and a glass of milk. They tasted good and made them happy. + +They went back to the living room and played with the blanket fort.

She saw a sign that said "Do not feed or touch the animals". She did not understand the sign. She thought it was a game. + +She saw a snake in a glass cage. It was green and shiny. It looked harmless. She wanted to touch it. She climbed over the fence and opened the cage. The snake saw her and hissed. Sara was not scared. She reached out her hand. + +"Stop!" her mom shouted. "That snake is dangerous!" + +But it was too late. The snake bit Sara's hand. Sara screamed. Her mom ran to her and pulled her away. The snake slithered back into the cage. Sara's hand was bleeding. She felt a lot of pain. + +Her mom called for help. A man came with a bag. He said he was a doctor. He looked at Sara's hand. He said the snake was poisonous. He said he had to give Sara a shot. He said it would make her feel better. + +But he was wrong. The shot did not work. The poison was too strong. Sara's hand turned black. Then her arm. Then her chest. She stopped breathing. She died. + +The doctor was sad. He said he was sorry. He said he tried to succeed, but he failed. He said it was Sara's fault. She should not have touched the snake. She should have listened to her mom. + +Her mom was very sad. She cried a lot. She said she loved Sara. She said she missed her. She said it was not Sara's fault. She said it was the snake's fault.

What are you doing?" + +"We are reading a book. It has many animals and languages. We are trying to learn them, but we do not know how," Lily says. + +"That is a very good book.

You are a very intelligent horse. How can you talk?" + +Snowy laughs. He says, "I learned to talk from the farmer. He reads me books and tells me stories. He says I am a special horse. He also teaches me tricks. Do you want to see?" + +Anna says yes. She watches as Snowy stands on his hind legs, nods his head, and winks his eye. Anna claps and laughs. She feels brave and reaches out her hand. She touches Snowy's soft nose. Snowy nuzzles her gently. He says, "You are a very nice girl, Anna. You have a gentle touch. Do you want to ride me?" + +Anna says yes. She feels adventurous and climbs on Snowy's back. Snowy walks slowly and carefully. He says, "Don't be afraid, Anna. I will take good care of you.

You are good boys." The man says. + +He lets them see his boat. He lets them touch it and row it. They are happy and grateful. + +They say sorry to each other for breaking the big boat. They share the small boat and play with the man's boat. They have fun and make a new friend. +Sara and Ben were playing outside after the rain. They liked to jump in the puddles and make splashes. Sara saw a big puddle near the fence. She ran to it and jumped with both feet. + +"Wow, this puddle is so big and wet!" she said. + +Ben followed her and jumped too. He laughed and said, "Yes, it is! And look, there is something shiny in it!" + +Sara and Ben were curious. They bent down and looked at the puddle. They saw a small silver paper that was wrapped around something. They reached for it and pulled it out of the water. + +"What is it?" Sara asked. + +"I don't know. Let's unwrap it and see!" Ben said. + +They unwrapped the paper and found a chocolate candy inside. It was a little wet, but it still looked yummy. + +"Wow, a candy!" Sara said. + +"Maybe someone dropped it by accident," Ben said. + +"Or maybe it was a gift from the rain," Sara said. + +They smiled and decided to share the candy. They broke it in half and each took a bite. + +"Mmm, it's good!" Sara said. + +"Yes, it is! Thank you, rain!" Ben said. + +They finished the candy and threw the paper in the trash.

He liked to see the animals, but his favorite was the big gorilla. He wanted to be friends with him, so he threw a banana to him. The gorilla caught the banana and ate it. He smiled at Tom and made a funny sound. + +"Hello, gorilla!" Tom said. "Do you want to play with me?" + +The gorilla nodded and came closer to the fence. He reached out his hand and touched Tom's hair. Tom giggled and touched his hand back. They were having fun. + +But then, a loud noise scared the gorilla. It was a man with a camera. He wanted to take a picture of the gorilla, but he flashed a bright light in his eyes. The gorilla did not like that. He felt angry and hurt. He roared and shook the fence. He wanted the man to go away. + +Tom was scared too. He ran to his mom and hugged her. He saw the gorilla was still angry and sad. He felt sorry for him. He wanted to make him happy again. + +"Mom, can I give the gorilla another banana?" Tom asked. + +"Sure, honey, but be careful. He might be still upset," his mom said. + +Tom took a banana from his mom and walked slowly to the fence. He held the banana in his hand and said softly, "I'm sorry, gorilla. The man was mean to you. He made a bad noise and a bad light. You are not weak. You are strong and brave. I like you. Please forgive me." + +The gorilla looked at Tom and saw the banana. He saw Tom's eyes and heard his words. He felt his anger go away. He felt happy again. He took the banana and ate it. He smiled at Tom and made a funny sound. + +"Thank you, gorilla. You are my friend," Tom said. + +They touched hands again and played some more. They were happy. +Lila and Sam like to play in the park. They run and jump and laugh. They see many things in the park. They see birds and flowers and trees. They see a big green temple too. + +The temple is very old and has many doors and windows. Lila and Sam want to see inside the temple. They run to the temple and look for a door. They find a door that is open. They go inside the temple. + +Inside the temple, it is dark and quiet. Lila and Sam see many statues and paintings. They see candles and books and bells. They hear a voice that says, "Who are you?" + +Lila and Sam are scared. They do not know who is talking. They want to go out of the temple. They run to the door. But the door is closed. They cannot open the door. + +They see another door on the other side of the temple. They run to the other door. They pass many statues and paintings. They pass candles and books and bells. They reach the other door. The other door is open. They go out of the temple. + +Outside the temple, it is bright and noisy. Lila and Sam see people and cars and bikes. They see the park and the birds and the flowers and the trees. They are happy. They hug each other and say, "Let's not go inside the temple again." +Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they find a big box under a tree. The box is colorful. It has red, blue, yellow and green stripes. + +"What is in the box?" Sara asks. + +"I don't know. Let's open it and see," Tom says. + +They open the box. Inside, they see many toys. There are dolls, cars, balls, books and puzzles. They are happy. They take out some toys and play with them. + +"This is our secret," Tom says. "We don't tell anyone about the box. OK?" + +"OK," Sara says. "We don't tell anyone. We lie if they ask." + +They play for a long time. They have fun. They forget about the time. They don't hear their moms calling them. + +"Where are Sara and Tom?" Sara's mom asks. + +"I don't know. Maybe they are in the swings or the slide," Tom's mom says. + +They look for them. They don't see them. They are worried. + +They find them under the tree. They see the box and the toys. + +"What are you doing here?" Sara's mom asks. + +"We are playing," Sara says. + +"Where did you get these toys?" Tom's mom asks. + +"We found them," Tom says. + +"Did you ask anyone if you can take them?" Sara's mom asks. + +They are quiet. They don't answer. They know they did something wrong. They feel bad. + +They look at each other. They decide to tell the truth. + +"We are sorry," Sara says. "We didn't ask anyone. We lied. We wanted to keep the toys. They are so colorful and nice. But they are not ours. We will put them back in the box." + +They put the toys back in the box. They close the lid. They say sorry to their moms. + +Their moms hug them. They are not angry. They are glad they told the truth. + +"It's OK," Sara's mom says. "You made a mistake. But you learned from it. Lying is not good. It can hurt you and others. Sharing is better. Maybe the toys belong to someone who needs them. Maybe they are a gift for someone. You don't know. You have to respect other people's things." + +They nod. They understand. They say sorry again. + +They go home with their moms. They are still friends. They still like to play in the park. But they don't lie anymore. They don't have secrets. They have fun. +Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play outside. They had a big garden with many flowers and trees. They also had a swing, a slide and a sandbox. They were very happy there. + +One day, they decided to make a spring out of a metal wire. They thought it would be fun to see it bounce and stretch. They were very creative and worked hard. They found a wire in the garage and cut it with scissors. They twisted and coiled it until it looked like a spring. + +"Look, we made a spring!" Lily said to Ben. "Let's try it out!" + +They took the spring to the grass and threw it in the air. It bounced and spun and made a funny sound. They laughed and clapped their hands. They took turns throwing and catching the spring. + +But then, something bad happened. The spring landed on a bee that was flying by. The bee was angry and stung Lily on her hand. Lily screamed and dropped the spring. She ran to her mom, who was inside the house. Ben followed her, feeling sorry and scared. + +Lily's mom saw her hand and said, "Oh no, you have a bee sting! That must hurt a lot. How did this happen?" + +Lily and Ben told her about the spring. Lily's mom was not happy. She said, "That was very dangerous. You should not play with wires and scissors. You could have hurt yourself or someone else. And you should not bother the bees. They are important for the flowers and the trees. You need to say sorry to the bee and to each other." + +Lily and Ben felt bad. They said sorry to the bee and to each other. They also said sorry to Lily's mom. She gave them some ice and a hug. She said, "I hope you learned your lesson. Next time, be more careful and respectful. And use your creativity for something good, not something bad." + +Lily and Ben nodded. They went back to the garden, but they did not play with the spring anymore. They left it in the trash. They played with the swing, the slide and the sandbox instead. But they were not as happy as before. They still felt the sting of the bee and the sting of their mom's words. They wished they had never made the spring. +Tim and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big slide. They want to go on the slide. + +"Let's race to the slide!" Tim says. "The first one to get to the top is the winner!" + +"OK!" Sam says. "Ready, set, go!" + +They run to the slide. Tim is faster than Sam. He gets to the slide first. He springs on the ladder. He climbs up quickly. He is almost at the top. + +"Ha ha, I'm going to win!" Tim says. + +But Sam does not give up. He runs faster. He springs on the ladder too. He climbs up faster. He catches up with Tim. He reaches the top at the same time as Tim. + +"Wow, you are fast!" Tim says. + +"Thank you, you are fast too!" Sam says. + +They look at each other. They smile. They are both happy. They do not care who is the winner. They are friends. + +They slide down together. They laugh and have fun. They are normal kids. They like to play in the park. +Tom and Lily are playing in the garden. They have a spray bottle and a bag. They fill the spray bottle with water and put some flowers in the bag. + +"Let's spray the flowers and make them wet," Tom says. + +"OK, but don't spray me!" Lily says. + +They run around the garden and spray the flowers. They laugh and have fun. But then they see a tall tree with a big nest. + +"Look, there are birds in the nest!" Lily says. + +"Let's spray them too!" Tom says. + +"No, don't do that! They will be scared and angry!" Lily says. + +But Tom does not listen. He runs to the tree and sprays the nest. The birds start to chirp and flap their wings. They fly out of the nest and chase Tom. + +"Help! Help!" Tom cries. + +Lily drops the bag and runs to Tom. She grabs his hand and pulls him away from the tree. The birds stop chasing them and go back to the nest. + +"Are you OK, Tom?" Lily asks. + +"Yes, I'm OK. But I'm sorry, Lily. I was silly and mean. I should not have sprayed the birds," Tom says. + +"It's OK, Tom. I forgive you. But don't do that again, OK? The birds are our friends, not our toys," Lily says. + +"OK, Lily. I promise. Can we still play with the spray bottle and the bag?" Tom asks. + +"Yes, we can. But only with the flowers, OK?" Lily says. + +"OK, Lily. Let's go and play," Tom says. + +They hug and smile. They pick up the spray bottle and the bag and go back to the garden. They play with the flowers and have fun. They are happy and kind. +Lily loved to swim in the pond with her friends. She liked to splash and dive and make bubbles. One day, she saw a big red strawberry on the other side of the pond. She wanted to eat it very much. She asked her friends to swim with her, but they were scared. + +"There might be a big fish or a snake in the water," said Ben. + +"Or a crocodile or a shark," said Mia. + +Lily was not scared. She said, "I can swim very fast and very well. I will get the strawberry and come back. You can watch me." + +She swam across the pond, but she did not see the strawberry. She saw a big hole in the ground. She was curious and went closer. She saw a small mouse inside the hole. The mouse looked sad and hungry. + +"Hello, mouse," said Lily. "Why are you in the hole?" + +"Hello, duck," said the mouse. "I am in the hole because I was chased by a cat. I ran and ran and found this hole. But I have nothing to eat. I am very hungry." + +Lily felt sorry for the mouse. She remembered the strawberry. She said, "I saw a big red strawberry on the other side of the pond. I wanted to eat it, but I will give it to you. You need it more than me. Wait here, I will get it for you." + +She swam back to the other side of the pond. She picked the strawberry and swam again to the hole. She gave the strawberry to the mouse. The mouse was very happy and thanked her. + +"You are very kind, duck," said the mouse. "You saved me from hunger. I will never forget you." + +Lily smiled and said, "You are welcome, mouse. I am glad to help you. We can be friends." + +She swam back to her friends. They were amazed and proud of her. They said, "You are very brave and very kind, Lily. You did a good thing. You made a new friend." + +Lily was happy. She said, "I learned something today. Sometimes, the best thing to do is to share what you have with someone who needs it more. That is how you make friends and be happy." + +The end. +Tom and Lily were playing on the beach. They liked to make sand castles and look for shells. They saw a big boat on the water. It had a flag and a horn. + +"Look, Lily, a boat!" Tom said. "Let's wave to it!" + +They ran to the edge of the water and waved their arms. The boat saw them and honked its horn. Tom and Lily laughed and waved more. + +But then they heard a loud roar. It was a big wave. It was coming fast. It was bigger than the boat. + +"Run, Lily, run!" Tom shouted. "The wave is coming!" + +They turned and ran. But they were too slow. The wave was faster. It caught them and pushed them under the water. They were frightened. They could not breathe. They could not see. They could not hear. + +The boat saw the wave. It tried to help. But it was too late. Tom and Lily were gone. The boat was sad. It honked its horn again. But no one waved back. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run, jump and slide on the grass and the swings. They saw a big brown dog with a long tail. The dog was friendly and wagged his tail. Tom and Lily wanted to pet the dog and play with him. + +"Hello, doggy! What is your name?" Lily asked. + +The dog barked and licked Lily's face. She giggled and hugged him. + +"Can we play with you, doggy?" Tom asked. + +The dog barked again and ran around them. He was happy and wanted to play too. + +They played catch, tug and fetch with the dog. They had a lot of fun. They did not see that the sun was going down and the sky was turning orange and pink. + +"Tom, Lily, it's time to go home!" their mom called from the bench. She had been watching them play with the dog. + +"Okay, mom!" Tom and Lily said. They said goodbye to the dog and thanked him for playing with them. + +They walked with their mom to the car. They looked at the sunset and saw how beautiful it was. + +"Wow, look at the colors!" Lily said. + +"Yes, it's very pretty!" Tom said. + +They got in the car and buckled their seat belts. They waved to the dog and his owner, who had come to the park to find him. + +"Bye, doggy! See you soon!" they shouted. + +The dog barked and waved his tail. He was glad he had met Tom and Lily. They did not disturb him. They made him happy. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the farm. They see many animals in the farm. They see cows, pigs, chickens and goats. + +One day, they want to play hide and seek. Lily says, "I will count to ten. You go and hide. Then I will find you." Ben says, "OK. I will hide well. You will not find me." Lily closes her eyes and counts. Ben runs and looks for a good hiding place. + +He sees a big goat. The goat is white and brown. The goat has horns and a beard. Ben thinks, "The goat is smart. He can help me hide." He goes behind the goat and says, "Hello, goat. Can you help me hide? Lily is looking for me." The goat says, "Baa. Sure, I can help you. I know a good hiding place. Follow me." The goat leads Ben to a shed. The shed is dark and dusty. There are hay and tools in the shed. The goat says, "Baa. You can hide here. Lily will not find you." Ben says, "Thank you, goat. You are very smart and kind." He hides behind some hay. + +Lily opens her eyes and says, "Ready or not, here I come!" She looks for Ben. She goes to the barn, the pond, the tree and the fence. She does not find Ben. She says, "Where is Ben? He is very good at hiding." She hears a sound. It is the goat. The goat is outside the shed. The goat says, "Baa. Hello, Lily. Are you looking for Ben?" Lily says, "Yes, I am. Do you know where he is?" The goat says, "Baa. Maybe I do. Maybe I don't. Do you want to play a game with me?" Lily says, "What game?" The goat says, "Baa. If you answer my riddle, I will tell you where Ben is. If you don't, I will not tell you." Lily says, "OK. I like riddles. What is your riddle?" The goat says, "Baa. Listen carefully. I have horns and a beard. I eat grass and hay. I make milk and cheese. What am I?" Lily thinks for a moment. She says, "You are a goat!" The goat says, "Baa. That is right. You are smart too. Ben is in the shed. You can find him there." Lily says, "Thank you, goat. You are very smart and fun." She runs to the shed and finds Ben. Ben says, "You found me! How did you do it?" Lily says, "The goat helped me. He gave me a riddle. He is a smart goat." Ben says, "Yes, he is. He helped me hide too. He is a kind goat." Lily and Ben hug the goat and say, "Thank you, goat. You are the best." The goat says, "Baa. You are welcome. You are my friends. Let's play again." They all laugh and play. They have a good time in the farm. +Anna was very happy. Today was her birthday. She had a big cake, a lot of balloons, and many friends. She also had a big present from her mom and dad. She wondered what was inside. + +"Can I open it now, please?" she asked. + +"Yes, of course, sweetie. It's your special day," her mom said. + +Anna tore the paper and saw a beautiful doll. She had long hair, a pink dress, and shiny shoes. Anna loved her at once. + +"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" she hugged her parents. "She is the best doll ever. What is her name?" + +"You can name her whatever you want, honey. She is yours," her dad said. + +Anna thought for a moment. She looked at the doll's face and smiled. + +"I will name her Lily. She looks like a flower," she said. + +She took Lily to her room and showed her all her toys. She gave her a hug and a kiss and said, "Welcome to my home, Lily. You are my new friend. I will take good care of you." + +Lily did not say anything. She just smiled. + +Anna did not know that Lily was a silly doll. She had a secret. She could talk and move when no one was looking. She liked to play tricks and make jokes. She was not mean, just funny. + +She waited until Anna left the room to go to the bathroom. Then she jumped off the bed and ran to the closet. She found a hat, a scarf, and a pair of glasses. She put them on and looked at herself in the mirror. She laughed. + +"I look so silly. I wonder what Anna will say when she sees me," she said. + +She heard Anna coming back. She quickly hid under the bed and waited. + +Anna entered the room and looked for Lily. She did not see her on the bed. She felt worried. + +"Lily, where are you?" she called. + +She heard a voice from under the bed. + +"Boo!" it said. + +Anna screamed and jumped back. She looked under the bed and saw Lily. She had a hat, a scarf, and glasses on. She was smiling. + +"Hi, Anna. Do you like my outfit?" she asked. + +Anna was shocked. She could not believe her ears. Her doll could talk. And she was wearing silly clothes. + +"Lily, you can talk? And you can move? And you can dress up?" she asked. + +"Yes, I can. I am a silly doll. I like to have fun. Do you want to play with me?" Lily asked. + +Anna was scared at first. She did not know what to do. But then she saw Lily's smile. She looked friendly and happy. She did not mean to scare her. She just wanted to make her laugh. + +Anna smiled too. She decided to give Lily a chance. She liked to have fun too. + +"OK, Lily. I will play with you. But you have to promise me something. You have to be nice and not scare me or anyone else. And you have to be quiet when other people are around. Can you do that?" she asked. + +Lily nodded. She understood. She wanted to be Anna's friend. She did not want to make her sad or angry. + +"I promise, Anna. I will be nice and quiet. And I will only talk and move when we are alone. You are my new friend too. I will take good care of you," she said. + +Anna reached under the bed and took Lily's hand. She pulled her out and gave her a hug. + +"Welcome to my home, Lily. You are my silly doll. I love you," she said. + +Lily hugged her back. + +"I love you too, Anna. You are my sweet girl. Thank you for playing with me," she said. + +They looked at each other and laughed. They were happy. They had a lot of fun together. They were the best of friends. +Sara likes to play with her model cars. She has many of them in different colors and sizes. She puts them on the floor and makes them go fast and slow. She pretends they are racing or going on a trip. + +One day, her brother Tom comes into her room. He sees her model cars and wants to play with them too. He grabs one of them and says, "This is mine now. It is better than yours." + +Sara is angry. She says, "No, it is not. It is mine. Give it back to me. You have your own toys." + +Tom does not listen. He says, "No, I like this one. It is shiny and big. Yours are terrible. They are small and dull." + +He tries to run away with the model car, but Sara catches him. They start to pull and tug on the car. They shout and cry. The car breaks in half. They both see the broken car and stop fighting. They feel sad and sorry. + +They say to each other, "I am sorry. I should not have taken your car. I should not have said your cars are terrible. They are not. They are nice." + +They hug and make up. They decide to share their model cars and play together. They have fun and are happy. +Lila and Ben are friends. They like to play with animals. One day, they go to the zoo with their mom and dad. They see many animals, like lions, monkeys, and giraffes. + +"Look, there is a zebra!" Lila says. She points to a black and white animal with stripes. "It is so pretty!" + +"Yes, it is!" Ben agrees. He runs to the fence and waves at the zebra. "Hello, zebra! Do you want to be our friend?" + +The zebra looks at Ben and Lila. It makes a noise like a horse. It walks closer to the fence and sniffs them. It seems friendly. + +"Wow, the zebra likes us!" Lila says. She smiles and reaches out her hand. She touches the zebra's nose gently. It feels soft and warm. + +"Can we feed the zebra?" Ben asks. He looks at their mom and dad. + +"Sure, you can," their mom says. She gives them some carrots from her bag. "But be careful, don't put your fingers in its mouth." + +Lila and Ben nod. They hold the carrots and offer them to the zebra. The zebra takes the carrots and chews them happily. It makes more noises and wags its tail. + +"Thank you, zebra!" Lila and Ben say.

She liked to rip the paper and make a mess. + +But then she saw a big box with a bow. It was from her aunt. Sara was curious. She opened the box and saw something funny. It was a big doll with red hair and green eyes. It looked like a clown. Sara did not like clowns. They scared her. + +She screamed and threw the box away. The doll fell out and landed on the floor. It started to talk and laugh. "Hello, Sara! I'm your new friend! Do you want to play with me?" The doll said in a high voice. + +Sara was very scared. She ran to her mom and hugged her. She did not want to play with the doll. She wanted it to go away. She panicked and cried. "Mommy, mommy, make it stop! I don't like it! It's not a gift, it's a monster!" + +Mommy saw the doll and understood. She was sorry. She did not know Sara was afraid of clowns. She picked up the doll and turned it off. She put it back in the box and closed it. She hugged Sara and said, "It's okay, honey. It's just a toy. You don't have to play with it. You can choose another gift. I'm sure your aunt meant well. She thought it was funny, but it was not. I'm sorry you were scared. I love you." + +Sara calmed down and smiled. She said, "I love you too, mommy. Thank you for making it stop. Can I open another gift? Maybe a book or a puzzle or a teddy bear?" + +Mommy nodded and said, "Of course, sweetie. Let's see what else you have. Happy birthday, Sara. You are a brave girl." +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play with toys. Today, they have a big jet toy. It is red and blue and has wings. + +"Let's decorate the jet!" Mia says.

It is not cool. It is messy. It has stickers and crayons all over it. + +They are sad. + +"Our jet is dead," Tom says. + +"No, it is not dead," Mia says. "It is just different. We can still play with it. We can pretend it is a magic jet. It can fly to the moon and the stars and the flowers and the animals." + +Tom thinks. He smiles. + +"OK!" he says. "Let's pretend it is a magic jet. It is still our jet. We decorated it. We are still friends." + +They hug. They play with their jet. They are happy. +Tom and Sue were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and swing. They saw a big dog with brown fur and a long tail. The dog was barking and wagging his tail. He looked friendly. + +"Can we pet the dog?" Sue asked Tom. + +"OK, but be careful. He might bite," Tom said. + +They walked slowly to the dog. The dog sniffed them and licked their hands. They smiled and rubbed his ears. The dog was happy. + +They saw a twig on the ground. It was long and thin and brown. Tom picked it up and threw it. The dog ran after it. He caught it in his mouth and brought it back. He dropped it at Tom's feet. + +"Good boy!" Tom said. "Do you want to play fetch?" + +The dog barked and nodded. Tom threw the twig again. The dog chased it. He was fast and strong. He was a mighty dog. + +But then something bad happened. The twig broke in the dog's mouth. He felt a sharp pain. He yelped and spat out the pieces. He was angry and scared. He thought Tom and Sue hurt him. + +He turned around and growled. He showed his teeth. He ran towards them. He wanted to bite them. + +Tom and Sue were afraid. They screamed and ran away. They looked for a safe place. They saw a bench. They climbed on it. The dog could not reach them. + +"Help! Help!" they shouted. "The dog wants to bite us!" + +A man heard them. He was the dog's owner. He came running. He saw the dog and the twig. He understood what happened. + +"Bad dog! No bite!" he said. He grabbed the dog's collar. He pulled him away. He said sorry to Tom and Sue. + +"I'm sorry. He didn't mean to hurt you. He was playing. The twig hurt him. He was confused. He is a good dog. He won't bite you again." + +Tom and Sue were still scared. They did not want to pet the dog anymore. They wanted to go home. + +"OK, bye," they said. They got off the bench. They ran to their mom. They told her what happened. + +Their mom hugged them. She was glad they were OK. She said they were brave. She said they should be careful with dogs. She said they should not throw twigs. She said they should use balls or toys. + +Tom and Sue nodded. They learned their lesson. They did not like twigs. They liked balls and toys. They liked dogs, but only nice ones. They liked playing in the park, but not with broken twigs. +Lily and Ben like to collect things. They collect rocks, leaves, flowers and bugs. One day, they see a big pumpkin in a farm. They want to collect the pumpkin too. + +They ask the farmer if they can have the pumpkin. The farmer says no. The pumpkin is not ready yet. It is sour and hard. He says they can come back later when the pumpkin is ripe and sweet. + +But Lily and Ben do not listen. They wait until the farmer goes away. Then they run to the pumpkin and try to pick it up. It is very heavy. They pull and push and tug. They make a lot of noise. + +The farmer hears them and comes back. He is very angry. He yells at them and chases them away. He says they are bad children. He says they can never come back to his farm. + +Lily and Ben are scared and sad. They drop the pumpkin and run away. They do not collect anything that day. They go home and cry. They wish they had listened to the farmer. They learn that collecting sour pumpkins is not fun. +Ben and Lily were playing with a ball in the park. They liked to pass the ball to each other and catch it with their hands. Sometimes they would throw the ball high in the air and watch it fall down. + +"Pass me the ball, Ben!" Lily shouted. + +"OK, Lily!" Ben said. He threw the ball to Lily, but he threw it too hard. The ball flew over Lily's head and landed in the bushes. + +"Oh no, Ben! The ball is gone!" Lily cried. + +"Don't worry, Lily! I will get it for you!" Ben said. He ran to the bushes and looked for the ball. He saw something round and shiny in the leaves. He thought it was the ball, so he grabbed it and ran back to Lily. + +"Here, Lily! I found the ball!" Ben said. He gave the shiny thing to Lily. + +But Lily saw that it was not the ball. It was a fake ball. It was made of plastic and had a hole in it. It was not fun to play with. + +"Ben, this is not the ball! This is a fake ball!" Lily said. She was sad and angry. + +"Sorry, Lily! I did not know! It looked like the ball!" Ben said. He was sorry and sad too. + +They looked at the fake ball and the hole in it. They did not want to play with it anymore. They wanted to find their real ball. + +"Let's go back to the bushes and look for the real ball!" Lily said. + +"OK, Lily! Let's go!" Ben said. + +They ran back to the bushes and searched for the real ball. They hoped they would find it soon.

Lily counted to ten and then said, "Ready or not, here I come!" + +She looked for Max in the living room, the kitchen, and the bathroom, but she could not find him. She wondered where he was hiding. She thought maybe he was in the bedroom, where their toys were. She tiptoed to the door and opened it slowly. + +She saw Max hiding under the bed, with his feet sticking out. He did not see her. She smiled and said, "I found you, Max! You have to surrender!" + +Max heard her voice and jumped out from under the bed. He was surprised and scared. He said, "No, you did not find me! I was not hiding there!" + +But Lily did not believe him. She said, "Yes, I did! You were hiding under the bed. I saw your feet. You have to surrender and be the seeker now!" + +Max did not want to be the seeker. He wanted to keep hiding. He said, "No, I don't! You have to find me again!" + +He ran to the closet and tried to hide behind the clothes. But he did not know that there was an alarm in the closet. It was a toy alarm that their dad had given them. It made a loud noise when someone touched it. + +As soon as Max touched the alarm, it went off. It made a very loud noise. It said, "Beep beep beep! Intruder alert! Beep beep beep!" + +Lily and Max were both scared by the noise. They covered their ears and screamed. They ran out of the closet and out of the bedroom. They did not want to play hide and seek anymore. + +Their mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw them running and crying. She said, "What happened? Why are you making so much noise?" + +Lily and Max told her what happened. They said, "We were playing hide and seek and Max hid in the closet and he touched the alarm and it made a loud noise and we got scared and we ran away." + +Their mom hugged them and said, "It's okay, it's okay. It was just a toy alarm. It was not real. It was just a game. You don't have to be scared." + +She turned off the alarm and said, "Let's go to the living room and watch some cartoons. How about that?" + +Lily and Max nodded and said, "Okay, mom. Thank you, mom." + +They followed their mom to the living room and sat on the couch. They watched some cartoons and forgot about the alarm. They felt better and happier. They did not want to play hide and seek anymore. They wanted to watch cartoons and be quiet. +Sara and Ben are playing with their toy cars in the living room. Sara has a red car and Ben has a blue car. They pretend to drive on the road and make vroom-vroom noises. + +"Stop!" Sara says. "You need a license to drive on the road. Show me your license, Ben." + +Ben looks at Sara and frowns. He does not have a license. He does not know what a license is. He thinks Sara is being bossy. + +"I don't have a license," Ben says. "I don't need a license. It's just a game, Sara. Let me play." + +"Yes, you do need a license," Sara says. "It's the rule. If you don't have a license, you can't drive on the road. You have to park your car and walk." + +Ben does not like this rule. He does not want to park his car and walk. He wants to drive on the road with Sara. He thinks Sara is not being fair. + +"No, I don't," Ben says. "It's not a real road, Sara. It's just the carpet. You can't tell me what to do. You're not the boss of me." + +Sara and Ben start to argue. They raise their voices and say mean things to each other. They forget to have fun. + +Mom hears them and comes to the living room. She sees them fighting over their toy cars. She is not happy. + +"What's going on here?" Mom asks. "Why are you yelling at each other?" + +Sara and Ben try to answer. They both talk at the same time. They both blame each other. They both want Mom to take their side. + +Mom shakes her head. She does not like their behavior. She does not like their attitude. + +"Enough!" Mom says. "You need to calm down and listen. Playing with toy cars is supposed to be fun, not stressful. You don't need a license to play, but you do need to share and be nice. Sara, you can't be bossy and make up rules that Ben doesn't agree with. Ben, you can't be rude and ignore Sara's feelings. You need to respect each other and cooperate. Do you understand?" + +Sara and Ben nod. They feel sorry for their actions. They apologize to each other and to Mom. They hug and make up. + +Mom smiles. She is glad they learned their lesson. She gives them each a kiss and a cookie. She lets them play with their toy cars again. But this time, they play nicely and happily. They enjoy their game. +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They saw a big box with a bow. It was pink and shiny. They ran to the box and wanted to open it. + +"Maybe it is a present for us!" Lily said. + +"Maybe it is a mystery!" Ben said. + +They pulled the bow and lifted the lid. Inside the box, there was a lot of paper and bubbles. They moved the paper and bubbles and found a smaller box. It was also pink and shiny. + +"Wow, another box!" Lily said. + +"Another mystery!" Ben said. + +They opened the smaller box and saw a fluffy toy. It was a pink unicorn with a horn and wings.

They look at each other and hope the teacher will not find out. + +The teacher looks at the class and sees that no one is saying anything. She says, "I will give you one minute to tell me who did this. If no one tells me, you will all have to rub it off and stay in for recess." The other kids are not happy. They look at Sam and Ben and are angry. They want to play outside and not rub the blackboard. + +Sam and Ben feel bad. They know they did something wrong and they do not want to make the other kids unhappy. They decide to be brave and tell the truth. They raise their hands and say, "We did it, teacher. We are sorry. We will rub it off and not do it again." The teacher is surprised and says, "Thank you for being honest, Sam and Ben. That is very good of you. You still have to rub it off, but you can go out for recess with the other kids." The other kids are happy and say, "Thank you, Sam and Ben. You are good friends." + +Sam and Ben rub off the big red sun and go out to play. They feel better and are glad they told the truth. They learn that being honest is important and makes everyone happy. They also learn to be careful with the blackboard and not draw on it without permission. They are alert and listen to the teacher. They have fun with their friends and enjoy the day. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they find a big mint plant. It smells good and fresh. + +"Can we pick some mint?" Lily asks Tom. + +"OK, but we have to be careful. Mom says mint is good for tea, but too much can make you sick." Tom says. + +They pick some mint leaves and put them in their pockets. Then they see a big slide. They run to the slide and take turns to go down. + +"Yield, yield!" Tom shouts as he slides down. He means let him go first. + +Lily waits for Tom to finish. Then she slides down too. She says "Whee!" as she feels the wind in her hair. + +They have fun on the slide.

Tom's mom asks. + +"It's mint, mom. We found it in the park. It smells good." Tom says. + +"Mint? You picked mint from the park? You don't know if it's regular mint or wild mint. Wild mint can be bad for you. You have to ask before you pick plants." Tom's mom says. + +She is not happy. She makes Tom wash his clothes and drink some water. + +Lily's mom says the same thing to Lily. She is not happy either. She makes Lily wash her clothes and drink some water. + +Tom and Lily are sorry. They did not know mint can be bad. They say sorry to their moms. They promise to ask before they pick plants. + +They still like mint, but they only have it in tea. They also like to play on the slide, but they remember to yield. +Tom and Lily were best friends. They liked to play in the land behind their houses. The land was big and wild. There were trees, flowers, birds and bugs. Sometimes they saw a rabbit or a deer. + +One day, Tom and Lily found a big stick. They both wanted to play with it. They pulled and pulled, but neither of them would let go. + +"Give me the stick!" Tom shouted. + +"No, it's mine!" Lily yelled. + +They got angry and said mean things to each other. Then they let go of the stick and ran away. + +Tom and Lily felt sad. They missed their friend. They did not want to fight. + +The next day, Tom and Lily saw each other in the land. They were both holding flowers. They walked towards each other and smiled. + +"I'm sorry, Tom. I was bad. Can you forgive me?" Lily said. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. I was bad too. Of course I forgive you." Tom said. + +They hugged and gave each other the flowers.

It is very hot and bright." + +They take some red and brown balls. They stick them together. They say, "This is one more planet. It is like Mars.

It is a ball. It is not smooth. It is rough. It hurts her foot. She says, "Ow! What is this?" + +Ben looks at the ball. It is black and gray. It has holes and bumps. He says, "This is not a planet. This is a rock. It is not a toy. It is from the garden." + +Sara says, "Who put the rock in the box? It does not belong here. It is not nice. It is mean." + +Ben says, "I don't know. Maybe it was Max. He is the cat. He likes to do silly things. He likes to play with rocks." + +Sara says, "Let's take the rock out of the box. Let's put it back in the garden. Let's only play with the planets. They are nice. They are fun." + +Ben says, "OK. Let's do that. And let's be careful. We don't want to hurt our feet." + +They take the rock out of the box. They put it back in the garden. They play with the planets. They are happy. +Once upon a time, there was a girl called Lucy.
