+They both started to cry and turned away from each other. They did not talk or play for a long time. They missed each other, but they did not know how to say sorry.
+
+Their mom saw them and knew they had a fight. She came to them and hugged them. She said to them, "What happened, my loves? Why are you so unhappy?"
+
+Tom and Lily told her about the car and how they felt. Their mom listened and smiled. She said to them, "I understand. You both have different opinions and feelings. That is okay. But you should not be mean or rude to each other. You should respect and love each other. You are twins and you are special. You can always find a way to fix things and play together."
+
+She gave them some water and a cloth and helped them to wash the paint off the car. The car was blue again, but it had some traces of the other colors. Tom and Lily looked at the car and then at each other. They smiled and said, "Sorry."
+
+They hugged and kissed and said, "I love you."
+
+They took the car and played with it again. They had more adventures and fun. They learned to share and change and be kind. They were happy.
+Tom and Jen are friends. They like to play with toys. One day, they go to the toy store with their moms. Tom sees a large switch. It can make lights and sounds. He wants it very much.
+
+"Mom, can I have the switch?" Tom asks.
+
+"No, Tom. It is too expensive. You have many toys at home," his mom says.
+
+Tom is sad and angry. He looks at Jen. Jen has a small doll. She is happy. Tom thinks Jen is lucky. He has a bad idea. He waits for Jen and her mom to look away. Then he runs to the switch and grabs it. He puts it in his pocket. He thinks he is clever.
+
+"Tom, what are you doing?" Jen sees him and asks.
+
+"Nothing. Let's go," Tom says. He tries to act normal.
+
+But the store man sees Tom. He knows Tom is stealing. He is very mad. He runs to Tom and stops him.
+
+"Hey, you! Give me back the switch! You are a thief!" the store man shouts.
+
+Tom is scared. He drops the switch. It breaks. The lights and sounds stop. The store man calls the police. Tom's mom and Jen's mom come. They are very shocked and sad.
+
+"Tom, how could you do this? You are a bad boy. You have to say sorry and pay for the switch. You have to go to the police station. You have no more friends," Tom's mom says.
+
+Tom cries. He is sorry. But it is too late. He has no switch, no money, no friends. He has a bad ending.
+Tom and Anna are playing in their room. They have many toys, but they like the lamp best. The lamp is big and yellow, and it makes funny shapes on the wall. Tom and Anna pretend the shapes are animals and people.
+
+"Look, there is a cat!" Tom says, pointing at the wall.
+
+"Meow, meow, I am a cat. I want some milk," Anna says, making a voice for the shape.
+
+They laugh and play for a long time. But then, their mom calls them for dinner.
+
+"Tom, Anna, come and eat. We have soup and bread and cheese," mom says.
+
+Tom and Anna are hungry, but they do not want to stop playing. They refuse to go.
+
+"No, mom, we want to play with the lamp. The lamp is fun," Tom says.
+
+"Please, Tom, Anna, it is time to eat. The soup will get cold. The lamp will be here later," mom says.
+
+But Tom and Anna still refuse. They turn their backs to mom and keep playing.
+
+Mom is not happy. She goes to the room and turns off the lamp.
+
+"Hey, mom, why did you do that? We can't see the shapes anymore," Anna says.
+
+"Because you did not listen to me. You have to eat first, then you can play. The lamp is not a toy, it is for light. Come on, let's go to the kitchen," mom says.
+
+Tom and Anna are sad and angry. They do not like mom's rules. But they are also very hungry. They follow mom to the kitchen and eat their soup and bread and cheese. They hope mom will let them play with the lamp again.
+Tom was a big cat who liked to chase mice. He was very selfish and did not share his food or toys with anyone. He thought he was the best at everything and did not care about other animals.
+
+One day, he saw a small mouse running across the garden. He ran after it, hoping to catch it and eat it. The mouse was very scared and tried to hide under a flower pot. But Tom was too fast and reached the pot before the mouse could escape.
+
+"Ha, ha, I got you, little mouse!" Tom said, pawing at the pot. "You are my lunch today!"
+
+"Please, please, don't eat me, big cat!" the mouse said, trembling. "I have a family and friends who love me. I don't want to die!"
+
+Tom laughed and said, "Why should I care about your family and friends? I only care about myself. You are just a mouse, and I am a cat. I am stronger and smarter than you. You have nothing to offer me."
+
+The mouse thought for a moment and said, "That's not true, big cat. I have something to offer you. Something that you don't have."
+
+"What is it?" Tom asked, curious.
+
+"Friendship," the mouse said. "You are very lonely, big cat. You have no one to play with or talk to. You are always angry and bored. But I can be your friend, if you let me. I can make you happy and teach you new things. I can share my food and toys with you. I can show you how to be kind and generous. Friendship is more valuable than lunch, don't you think?"
+
+Tom was surprised by the mouse's words. He had never thought about friendship before. He had never had a friend before. He wondered what it would be like to have a friend. He looked at the mouse and saw that he was not just a mouse, but a living being with feelings and dreams. He felt a strange warmth in his heart.
+
+"Maybe you are right, little mouse," Tom said, softly. "Maybe I have been too selfish and mean. Maybe I do need a friend. Will you really be my friend, if I spare your life?"
+
+"Yes, I will, big cat," the mouse said, happily. "I will be your friend, and you will be mine. We can help each other and have fun together. We can learn from each other and respect each other. We can be friends, no matter how different we are."
+
+Tom smiled and lifted the pot gently. He let the mouse out and said, "I'm sorry for chasing you, little mouse. I won't hurt you anymore. I want to be your friend, too. What is your name?"
+
+"My name is Max," the mouse said, gratefully. "And you?"
+
+"My name is Tom," the cat said, proudly. "And I am your friend."
+
+The end.
+
+Moral value: The story teaches that friendship is more important than selfishness, and that we can be friends with anyone, even if they are different from us. It also shows that we can change our bad habits and attitudes, and learn to be kind and generous. It also uses the verb "manage", the noun "mouse" and the adjective "selfish".
+Jenny liked to help her grandpa with the lawn. He was elderly and sometimes his back hurt. He had a big machine that made the grass shorter and neater. Jenny wanted to use the machine too, but grandpa said it was too dangerous for her.
+
+One day, grandpa had to go to the store. He told Jenny to stay inside and play with her toys. He said he would be back soon. Jenny nodded, but she was curious about the machine. She looked out the window and saw it parked on the lawn. She thought it looked like a fun ride.
+
+Jenny sneaked out of the house and ran to the machine. She climbed on the seat and found a button. She pushed it and the machine started to make a loud noise. Jenny was scared, but she also felt excited. She saw a lever and pulled it. The machine began to move.
+
+Jenny did not know how to steer the machine. It went all over the lawn, making the grass uneven and messy. It also went over the flowers, the fence, and the mailbox. Jenny tried to stop it, but she did not know how. She screamed for help.
+
+Grandpa heard the noise and came back from the store. He saw the machine and Jenny on the lawn. He was angry and worried. He ran to the machine and turned it off. He lifted Jenny off the seat and hugged her. He was glad she was not hurt, but he was also sad about the lawn. He told Jenny she was very naughty and she had to say sorry. Jenny felt bad and she said sorry. She learned her lesson. She never touched the machine again. She helped grandpa fix the lawn and increase the flowers. Grandpa forgave her and loved her. They were happy again.
+Sara and Tom were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make yummy food. Sara opened the cabinet and took out a big pot. Tom opened another cabinet and took out a wooden spoon.
+
+"Let's make soup!" Sara said. "What do we need?"
+
+"We need water, and carrots, and noodles, and salt," Tom said. He was eager to cook. He filled the pot with water and put it on the stove. Sara chopped the carrots and added them to the pot. Tom poured some noodles and salt into the pot.
+
+"Soup is ready!" Tom said. He turned off the stove and lifted the pot. But the pot was very hot and heavy. Tom dropped the pot and the soup spilled all over the floor.
+
+"Oh no!" Sara and Tom cried. They saw the mess they made. They heard their mom coming.
+
+"What happened here?" Mom asked. She was not happy. She saw the soup and the pot and the spoon and the cabinet.
+
+"Sara and Tom, you were very naughty. You should not play with the stove and the pot. You could have burned yourself or the house. And you wasted the food and made a big mess. You need to clean up and say sorry."
+
+Sara and Tom felt bad. They knew they did wrong. They wanted to make mom happy.
+
+"We are sorry, mom," Sara and Tom said. They bowed their heads. "We were playing and we did not think. We will clean up and we will not do it again."
+
+Mom smiled. She hugged Sara and Tom.
+
+"I forgive you, Sara and Tom," Mom said. "I love you. But you need to be careful and listen. Playing is fun, but you need to follow the rules and respect the things. Next time, ask me before you use the stove and the pot. And I will help you make soup together."
+
+Sara and Tom nodded. They learned their lesson. They helped mom clean up the kitchen. Then they ate some real soup that mom made. It was yummy and warm. Sara and Tom thanked mom and gave her a kiss.
+
+The end.
+Anna likes to sing. She sings when she wakes up, when she plays, and when she helps Mommy in the garden. She sings about the sun, the birds, and the flowers. She sings very loud and very happy.
+
+One day, Anna finds a radish in the garden. It is red and round and has green leaves. Anna thinks it looks tasty. She picks it up and shows it to Mommy.
+
+"Look, Mommy, a radish!" Anna says. "Can I eat it?"
+
+Mommy smiles and says, "Yes, you can, Anna. But first, you have to wash it. Radishes grow in the dirt, and dirt is not good to eat."
+
+Anna nods and runs to the sink. She washes the radish with water and soap. She rubs it until it is clean and shiny. Then she takes a big bite.
+
+"Mmm, it is tasty!" Anna says. "It is crunchy and spicy and sweet. I like radishes!"
+
+Mommy laughs and says, "I'm glad you do, Anna. Radishes are good for you. They have vitamins and minerals that make you strong and healthy."
+
+Anna finishes the radish and asks for another one. Mommy gives her one and says, "You can have as many as you want, Anna. But don't forget to sing. Singing makes you happy and smart."
+
+Anna smiles and says, "OK, Mommy. I will sing and eat radishes. They are my favorite!"
+
+Then Anna sings a song about radishes. She sings very loud and very happy. Mommy joins her and they sing together. They have fun in the garden. They love each other very much.
+Tom is a shy boy. He does not like to talk to new people. He likes to play with his toys and read his books. He has a big dream. He wants to fly like a bird.
+
+Today is a special day. Tom's dad takes him to the park. He sees a big kite. It is red and blue and yellow. It has a long tail. Tom's dad says, "Do you want to fly the kite, Tom?" Tom nods. He is excited.
+
+Tom's dad helps him hold the kite. He runs with Tom. The wind blows. The kite goes up in the sky. Tom feels the string in his hand. He feels the kite pull him. He feels like he is flying too. He smiles. He laughs. He is not shy anymore.
+
+He sees a girl with a pink hat. She has a kite too. It is green and purple and orange. It has a star on it. She waves at Tom. She says, "Hi, I'm Lily. Do you want to fly kites together?" Tom looks at his dad. His dad nods. He says, "Go ahead, Tom. Make a new friend."
+
+Tom lets go of his dad's hand. He walks to Lily. He says, "Hi, I'm Tom. I like your kite. It is pretty." Lily smiles. She says, "Thank you. I like your kite too. It is bright." They hold their kites. They run and fly them. They have fun. They are happy. They are friends.
+Lily and Ben were playing with their blocks in the living room. They liked to build towers and bridges and castles with the colorful blocks. They had many blocks, but they always wanted more.
+
+"Can we have more blocks, Mom?" Lily asked. "We want to make our tower bigger and bigger!"
+
+Mom smiled and said, "You have enough blocks, my dear. You don't need more to have fun. Sometimes, less is more."
+
+Lily and Ben did not understand. They thought more blocks would make them happier. They saw a big box of blocks in the closet. They decided to sneak and take some blocks when Mom was not looking.
+
+They opened the closet and grabbed some blocks. But they did not see that the box was heavy and unstable. The box fell on them and made a loud noise. The blocks scattered everywhere. Lily and Ben cried out in pain and fear.
+
+Mom heard the noise and ran to the closet. She saw Lily and Ben under the box and the blocks. She lifted the box and hugged them. She checked if they were hurt. She was relieved that they only had some bruises and scratches.
+
+She said, "What were you doing, my loves? Why did you take more blocks? You could have hurt yourselves badly!"
+
+Lily and Ben felt sorry and ashamed. They said, "We are sorry, Mom. We wanted more blocks to make our tower bigger and bigger. We did not listen to you. We were greedy and foolish."
+
+Mom said, "I'm glad you are okay, my loves. But you need to learn a lesson. More blocks do not make you happier. They only make you more trouble. You should be happy with what you have and share with others. That is the way to be truly happy and comfortable."
+
+Lily and Ben nodded and hugged Mom. They said, "We understand, Mom. We love you. We love our blocks. We will share them with our friends and make them happy too."
+
+Mom smiled and said, "That's good, my loves. Now, let's clean up this mess and then we can play together. And maybe we can read a story about sight. Do you know what sight is?"
+
+Lily and Ben said, "Yes, Mom. Sight is what we use to see things. We are lucky to have sight. Some people do not have sight. We should be thankful for our sight and use it well."
+
+Mom said, "That's right, my loves. Sight is a gift and a responsibility. We should use it to see the beauty and the goodness in the world. And we should also use it to see the needs and the feelings of others. That is the way to be kind and wise."
+
+Lily and Ben said, "We agree, Mom. We want to be kind and wise. We want to use our sight well. Can you read us a story about sight, Mom?"
+
+Mom said, "Of course, my loves. Let's go to the couch and find a book. I have a good one for you. It's called The Blind Men and the Elephant. Do you know what an elephant is?"
+
+Lily and Ben said, "Yes, Mom. An elephant is a big animal with a long nose and big ears. We saw one at the zoo. It was amazing!"
+
+Mom said, "That's right, my loves. An elephant is amazing. But not everyone can see an elephant. Some people can only touch it. And they might have different ideas about what it is. That is what the story is about. It's a story that teaches us to respect and learn from different perspectives. Do you know what perspectives are?"
+
+Lily and Ben said, "No, Mom. What are perspectives?"
+
+Mom said, "Perspectives are the ways we see things. We all have different perspectives because we have different experiences and feelings. Sometimes, our perspectives can be wrong or incomplete. Sometimes, they can be right or helpful. We should listen to other perspectives and try to understand them. That is the way to be fair and open-minded."
+
+Lily and Ben said, "We want to be fair and open-minded, Mom. We want to listen to other perspectives. Can you read us the story, Mom?"
+
+Mom said, "Sure, my loves. Let's read the story and see what we can learn from it. Are you ready?"
+
+Lily and Ben said, "Yes, Mom. We are ready. We are excited. We love stories!"
+
+Mom said, "Me too, my loves. Me too. Let's begin."
+Tom and Sue were brother and sister. They lived in a big house near the sea. They liked to play outside, but sometimes they fought over toys and games.
+
+One day, a big storm came. It was a hurricane. The wind was very strong and loud. It made the trees bend and the waves crash. Tom and Sue were scared. They ran inside the house with their mom and dad.
+
+They had to stay in the basement, where it was safe. They had some candles, blankets, and books. But they were bored and lonely. They missed their friends and their toys.
+
+Tom and Sue started to argue. They wanted different books and blankets. They shouted at each other. Their mom and dad told them to stop. They said, "Shouting won't help. We have to be kind and share. We are a family. We have to stick together."
+
+Tom and Sue felt sorry. They said sorry to each other. They hugged and made up. They decided to share their books and blankets. They read stories and played games. They helped their mom and dad. They were not lonely anymore. They were happy.
+
+The hurricane passed. The sun came out. The house was still standing. Tom and Sue went outside. They saw their friends and their toys. They were glad. They learned a lesson. They learned that shouting is bad and sharing is good. They learned that family is important and love is strong. They learned that storms don't last forever and happiness can come back.
+Sara was a wealthy girl who had many toys and books. She liked to learn new things and teach them to her friends. One day, she found a big book about space in her room. It had pictures of stars, planets, rockets and astronauts. She was very curious and wanted to know more.
+
+She called her friend Tom and asked him to come over. "Tom, I have a new book about space. Do you want to see it?" she said. Tom liked space too, so he agreed. He came to Sara's house and they went to her room. They opened the book and looked at the pages.
+
+"Wow, this is amazing!" Tom said. "Look at this rocket. It can fly to the moon and back. I wish I could go on a rocket someday."
+
+"Me too," Sara said. "And look at this astronaut. He is wearing a special suit and helmet. He can walk and float in space. He looks so happy."
+
+Sara and Tom learned many new things from the book. They learned the names of the planets, the shapes of the stars, the phases of the moon and the colors of the rainbow. They also learned some words that they did not understand, like gravity, orbit, galaxy and solar system. They decided to ask their parents or teachers to explain them later.
+
+They had so much fun that they did not notice the time. Sara's mom came to her room and said, "Sara, Tom, it is time for dinner. You can continue reading the book tomorrow. Why don't you share what you learned today with us?"
+
+Sara and Tom smiled and nodded. They closed the book and went to the dining room. They told Sara's mom and dad about their new book and what they learned. They also asked some questions that they had. Sara's mom and dad were very proud of them and happy that they liked to learn and teach. They praised them and gave them a hug.
+
+Sara and Tom felt very happy too. They thanked Sara's mom and dad for the dinner and the book. They said goodbye and promised to read more tomorrow. They went to their homes and dreamed of space.
+Ben and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a ball and a kite. They throw the ball and run with the kite. They are happy.
+
+But then a big boy comes. He is mean. He takes the ball and the kite. He says, "These are mine now. Go away." He laughs.
+
+Ben and Mia are sad. They frown. They say, "No, they are ours. Give them back." They try to get the ball and the kite. But the big boy is strong. He pushes them and runs away.
+
+Ben and Mia cry. They have no ball and no kite. They have no fun. They want to go home. But they do not know the way. They are lost.
+
+They look for help. They see a light. They think it is easy. They run to the light. But the light is not good. The light is a car. The car is fast. The car does not see them. The car hits them.
+
+Ben and Mia are hurt. They scream. They bleed. They do not move. They are gone.
+Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they find a big red heart on the grass. It is made of paper and has a string on it.
+
+"Wow, look at this heart!" Sara says. "It is so pretty and wide. Can I have it?"
+
+"No, I saw it first!" Tom says. "It is mine. I want to hang it in my room."
+
+They both pull on the string. The heart rips in half. Sara and Tom are sad and angry. They start to cry.
+
+A lady sees them and comes over. She has a kind smile.
+
+"What is wrong, children?" she asks.
+
+"We found this heart, but we broke it!" Sara says.
+
+"We both wanted it, but we could not share it!" Tom says.
+
+The lady picks up the pieces of the heart. She puts them together with some tape.
+
+"Here, you can have it back," she says. "But you have to promise me something. You have to promise to be kind and share with each other. That is what the heart means. It means love and friendship."
+
+Sara and Tom look at each other. They feel sorry for what they did. They nod and hug.
+
+"Thank you, lady," they say.
+
+"You're welcome, children," she says. "Now go and play. And remember, the heart is wide enough for both of you."
+Sara and Tom were playing with blocks. They wanted to build a big tower. Sara had many red blocks and Tom had many blue blocks. They put their blocks together and made a tower.
+
+"Look, our tower is so high!" Sara said.
+
+"Yes, it is!" Tom said. "Let's try to make it higher!"
+
+They added more blocks to the tower. But the tower was not stable. It started to shake and wobble.
+
+"Oh no, the tower is going to fall!" Sara said.
+
+"Quick, catch it!" Tom said.
+
+They tried to catch the tower, but it was too late. The tower fell down and the blocks went everywhere. Sara and Tom were sad.
+
+"Why did the tower fall?" Sara asked.
+
+"I don't know," Tom said. "Maybe we put too many blocks on top."
+
+"Maybe we should use different blocks," Sara said.
+
+They looked around and saw some yellow blocks. They were bigger and stronger than the red and blue blocks.
+
+"Let's use these blocks," Sara said. "They look good."
+
+"OK, let's try," Tom said.
+
+They picked up the yellow blocks and started to build a new tower. They were careful and made the tower balanced. The tower grew higher and higher, but it did not shake or wobble.
+
+"Wow, this tower is amazing!" Tom said.
+
+"Yes, it is!" Sara said. "We did it!"
+
+They were very happy and proud of their tower. They hugged each other and smiled.
+
+A boy named Ben was watching them. He was ignorant. He did not like to share or play with others. He wanted to have all the blocks for himself. He saw Sara and Tom's tower and felt jealous.
+
+"That's not fair," he said. "They have all the yellow blocks. I want them."
+
+He walked over to Sara and Tom's tower and pushed it. The tower fell down and the blocks went everywhere. Sara and Tom were shocked and angry.
+
+"Hey, why did you do that?" Tom yelled.
+
+"That was our tower!" Sara cried.
+
+"I don't care," Ben said. "I want the yellow blocks. They are mine."
+
+He grabbed some of the yellow blocks and ran away. He left Sara and Tom with no blocks. He thought he was smart, but he was not. He was ignorant.
+Anna and Ben are playing on the farm. They like to run and jump and make noises like the animals. They see a big pile of hay in the barn. They think it looks fun to climb on it and hide in it.
+
+"Let's go to the hay!" Anna says.
+
+"OK!" Ben says.
+
+They run to the barn and start to climb on the hay. They laugh and giggle as they make a fort and a tunnel and a nest. They pretend they are birds and mice and rabbits.
+
+But then they hear a loud moo. They look up and see a big cow standing next to the hay. The cow is hungry and wants to eat the hay. The cow does not see Anna and Ben. The cow starts to munch on the hay.
+
+"Uh-oh!" Anna says.
+
+"Uh-oh!" Ben says.
+
+They realize they are in trouble. The cow might eat them too. They are scared and want to get out of the hay. But they are too deep in the hay. They cannot find the way out.
+
+"Help!" Anna says.
+
+"Help!" Ben says.
+
+They start to cry and shout. They hope someone will hear them and save them.
+
+Then they hear a friendly voice. It is Farmer Joe. He is looking for the cow. He hears Anna and Ben and sees the cow. He realizes what is happening. He runs to the barn and chases the cow away. He digs in the hay and finds Anna and Ben. He picks them up and hugs them.
+
+"Are you OK?" Farmer Joe says.
+
+"Yes!" Anna says.
+
+"Yes!" Ben says.
+
+They are happy and relieved. They thank Farmer Joe and tell him they are sorry. They say they will not play in the hay again.
+
+Farmer Joe smiles and says it is OK. He says they are adorable and brave. He says they can play with the other animals, but not with the hay. He says the hay is for the cow, not for them.
+
+Anna and Ben agree and nod. They say they understand. They say they love the farm and the animals and Farmer Joe. They say they want to play some more.
+
+Farmer Joe says OK and lets them go. He watches them run and jump and make noises like the animals. He shakes his head and chuckles. He thinks they are cute and curious. He thinks they will have a lot of fun on the farm.
+Anna and Ben are playing with a big box. They think the box is a spaceship. They make noises like zoom and beep.
+
+"Let's go to the moon!" Anna says.
+
+"OK, but we need a handle to open the door," Ben says.
+
+They look around for something to use as a handle. They see a long, flexible rope. Ben ties the rope to the box.
+
+"Here, this is our handle," he says.
+
+They pull the rope and pretend the box opens. They get inside the box and close it again.
+
+"Now we are in the spaceship," Anna says.
+
+They imagine they see stars and planets out of the box. They have fun with their spaceship. They think they are very clever.
+Mira and Sam love to drive with their dad. They sit in the back seat and wear their seat belts. Dad turns on the music and they sing along. They like different songs, but they share the music.
+
+One day, they drive to the park. They see many trees and flowers and birds. They are enthusiastic and want to play. Dad parks the car and says, "Let's go, kids. We have a picnic basket and a ball. We can have fun in the sun."
+
+Mira and Sam jump out of the car and run to the grass. They spread a blanket and open the basket. They have sandwiches and juice and cookies. They eat and drink and talk. They say, "Thank you, dad. This is a good picnic."
+
+Then they play with the ball. They throw it and catch it and kick it. They laugh and shout and run. They make friends with other kids and share the ball. They say, "This is a fun park."
+
+Dad watches them and smiles. He is happy and proud. He says, "I love you, kids. You are the best." He joins them and plays with the ball. They hug him and say, "We love you, dad. You are the best, too." They have a wonderful day.
+Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. Lily had a cart that she liked to fill with blocks and dolls. Ben had a pair of scissors that he liked to cut paper and stickers with. They were having fun, but they did not share very well.
+
+"Give me your cart, Lily!" Ben said. "I want to cut it and make it look different."
+
+"No, Ben!" Lily said. "This is my cart. You can't cut it. It is not for cutting. It is for putting things in."
+
+Ben did not listen to Lily. He grabbed her cart and tried to cut it with his scissors. Lily was very angry and sad. She pulled her cart back and shouted at Ben.
+
+"Stop it, Ben! You are mean and bad. You are hurting my cart. Go away!"
+
+Lily and Ben started to fight over the cart. They pulled and pushed and yelled. They did not see their mom coming into the room. She saw them fighting and was very serious.
+
+"What are you doing, Lily and Ben?" she asked. "Why are you fighting over the cart? Why are you cutting it, Ben?"
+
+Ben and Lily stopped fighting. They looked at their mom and felt sorry. They knew they did something wrong.
+
+"We are sorry, mom," they said. "We were playing, but we did not share. Ben wanted to cut my cart, but I did not let him. He made a hole in it. Look."
+
+Lily showed her mom the hole in her cart. Mom looked at it and sighed.
+
+"That is not nice, Ben," she said. "You should not cut things that are not yours. You could hurt yourself or Lily or the cart. You need to say sorry to Lily and help her fix the cart."
+
+Ben looked at Lily and the cart. He felt bad for cutting it. He said sorry to Lily and gave her a hug.
+
+"I am sorry, Lily," he said. "I will not cut your cart again. Can we be friends?"
+
+Lily smiled and hugged Ben back.
+
+"OK, Ben," she said. "We can be friends. But you need to share your scissors and I will share my cart. OK?"
+
+"OK, Lily," Ben said. "Let's share and play nicely."
+
+Mom smiled and hugged them both.
+
+"That's good, Lily and Ben," she said. "I am proud of you. Sharing and playing nicely is much better than fighting and cutting. Now, let's see if we can fix the cart together."
+Sam and Mia are twins. They like to play with their toys and books. But sometimes they want to watch TV. TV has many colors and sounds. TV shows them animals and stories.
+
+One day, Mom says they can watch TV for a little bit. She turns on the TV and gives them the remote. Sam and Mia are happy. They sit on the couch and look at the TV.
+
+"What do you want to watch?" Sam asks Mia.
+
+"I want to watch the show with the princess and the dragon," Mia says.
+
+"But I want to watch the show with the cars and the trucks," Sam says.
+
+They both want to watch different shows. They start to argue. They push the buttons on the remote. The TV changes channels very fast.
+
+Mom hears them and comes back. She sees them fighting over the remote. She is not happy.
+
+"Stop it, Sam and Mia. You need to share the TV. You can take turns to watch what you want. Or you can watch something you both like," Mom says.
+
+Sam and Mia look at each other. They feel sorry. They do not want to make Mom angry. They want to be good twins.
+
+"Sorry, Mom. Sorry, Mia," Sam says.
+
+"Sorry, Mom. Sorry, Sam," Mia says.

+They give each other a hug. They are thoughtful. They decide to watch something they both like. They find a show with animals and jokes. They laugh and have fun. Mom smiles and joins them. They watch TV together. They are happy.
+Ben and Lily are playing in the park. They see a big slide made of steel. It is shiny and wide. They want to go on the slide.
+
+"Let's go on the slide!" Ben says.
+
+"OK!" Lily says.
+
+They run to the slide and climb the steps. Ben goes first. He sits on the slide and leans back. He slides down fast and laughs.
+
+"Wow, that was fun!" he says.
+
+Lily goes next. She sits on the slide and leans forward. She slides down slow and smiles.
+
+"That was nice!" she says.
+
+They go on the slide again and again. They lean back and lean forward. They slide fast and slow. They have a lot of fun on the steel slide.
+Sara liked to draw. She had many papers with her drawings of animals, flowers and people. She kept them in a folder with a cute sticker of a cat on it. She was proud of her folder and her drawings.
+
+One day, she went to play with her friend Tom. Tom also liked to draw, but he did not have a folder. He had a box with his papers. He showed Sara his drawings of cars, rockets and robots. Sara thought they were cool, but she liked her drawings better.
+
+"Can I see your folder?" Tom asked Sara.
+
+"Sure, here it is," Sara said, and gave him her folder.
+
+Tom opened the folder and looked at Sara's drawings. He did not like them. He thought they were boring and silly. He made a face and said, "These are not good drawings. They are too simple and childish. You should draw more exciting things, like me."
+
+Sara felt hurt and angry. She liked her drawings. She thought they were pretty and fun. She did not want Tom to say mean things about them. She snatched her folder back from Tom and said, "No, you are wrong. These are good drawings. They are not simple and childish. They are cute and colorful. You should draw more nice things, like me."
+
+Tom and Sara started to argue. They both thought their drawings were better than the other's. They did not want to play together anymore. They wondered why they were friends in the first place.
+
+Then, they heard a voice. It was Tom's mom. She came to see what was going on. She saw the folder and the box on the floor, and the two angry children.
+
+"What's the matter, kids?" she asked.
+
+Tom and Sara told her what happened. They both said that the other's drawings were bad and that they did not want to play anymore.
+
+Tom's mom looked at the folder and the box. She smiled and said, "You know, kids, there is no right or wrong way to draw. Everyone has their own style and imagination. You should appreciate and respect each other's drawings, not criticize them. You can learn from each other and have fun together. Why don't you try to draw something together, using both of your ideas?"
+
+Tom and Sara thought about what Tom's mom said. They realized that she was right. They felt sorry for being rude and mean to each other. They apologized and hugged. They decided to give each other's drawings a chance. They picked up the folder and the box and went to the table. They took out some papers and crayons and started to draw. They drew a cute cat riding a rocket, a cool robot picking flowers, and a funny person with a car head. They laughed and had fun. They wondered what else they could draw together. They were happy to be friends again.
+Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play together. But sometimes they did not behave well. They would fight over toys, make a mess, and not listen to their mom and dad.
+
+One day, their mom gave them each a coin to buy a treat at the store. She said, "Be good and share with each other. And don't lose your coins." Ben and Lily nodded and ran to the store.
+
+At the store, they saw many yummy things. Ben wanted a chocolate bar, and Lily wanted a lollipop. But they did not have enough coins for both. They started to argue and tug at each other's coins. They did not notice a naughty boy who was watching them.
+
+The naughty boy saw his chance and snatched both coins from Ben and Lily. He ran away, laughing. Ben and Lily were shocked and sad. They had lost their coins and their treats. They cried and ran back to their mom.
+
+Their mom hugged them and said, "I'm sorry you lost your coins. But you should have behaved better and shared with each other. Then you would have had enough for one treat each. And you would have been happy and kind. Remember, sharing is caring."
+
+Ben and Lily felt sorry and learned their lesson. They said sorry to each other and hugged. They decided to behave better and share with each other from then on. And they hoped the naughty boy would learn his lesson too.
+Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys. But they have too many toys. Their room is messy. Mom says they have to organize their toys.
+
+"Let's make a game," Sara says. "We can pretend we have a toy store. We can put price tags on our toys. Then we can sell them to each other."
+
+"OK," Ben says. "But we have to be fast. Mom will come soon."
+
+They start to organize their toys. They put them in different piles. They have cars, dolls, books, puzzles, and stuffed animals. They use paper and crayons to make price tags. They stick them on their toys.
+
+"I want this car," Ben says. He picks up a red car with a blue price tag. "How much is it?"
+
+"Two cookies," Sara says. She looks at the price tag. "That's the price."
+
+"Two cookies? That's too much," Ben says. He puts the car back. He looks for another toy.
+
+"What about this doll?" Sara says. She holds up a yellow doll with a green price tag. "Do you want to buy it?"
+
+"How much is it?" Ben says.
+
+"One apple," Sara says.
+
+"One apple? That's a good price," Ben says. He gives Sara an apple from his pocket. He takes the doll.
+
+They keep playing. They sell and buy their toys. They have fun. They organize their toys.
+
+Mom comes to their room. She sees their toys in neat piles. She sees their price tags. She smiles.
+
+"Wow, you did a great job," Mom says. "You organized your toys. And you made a toy store. That's very clever."
+
+"Thank you, Mom," Sara and Ben say. They hug Mom. They are happy.
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play in the kitchen. They see many dishes on the table. Some dishes are big, some dishes are small. Some dishes are red, some dishes are blue.
+
+Lily likes the red dishes. She wants to have them all. She does not want to share with Ben. She takes the red dishes and runs to her room. She locks the door. She says, "These are my red dishes. You cannot have them."
+
+Ben is sad. He knocks on the door. He says, "Lily, please open the door. I want to play with you. I want to see the red dishes. We can share them."
+
+But Lily does not open the door. She says, "No, go away. These are my red dishes. You cannot have them."
+
+Ben cries. He goes to the living room. He sees Mom and Dad. He tells them what Lily did. Mom and Dad are not happy. They go to Lily's room. They unlock the door. They see Lily with the red dishes.
+
+Mom and Dad say, "Lily, why did you lock the door? Why did you take the red dishes? Why did you not share with Ben? That is not nice. That is not fair. You made Ben sad. You made us sad. You should be sorry."
+
+Lily feels bad. She sees Ben's tears. She sees Mom and Dad's frowns. She says, "I am sorry. I was selfish. I wanted the red dishes. I did not think of Ben. I did not think of you. I will share the red dishes. I will play with Ben. I will be nice. I will be fair."
+
+Mom and Dad smile. They say, "That is good, Lily. We are glad you are sorry. We are glad you will share. We are glad you will play. We are glad you will be nice. We are glad you will be fair. That is the right thing to do. That is how you show love."
+
+Lily hugs Ben. She says, "I love you, Ben. I am sorry I locked the door. I am sorry I took the red dishes. I will share them with you. We can play with them together."
+
+Ben hugs Lily. He says, "I love you, Lily. I am happy you opened the door. I am happy you gave me the red dishes. I will share them with you. We can play with them together."
+
+Lily and Ben take the red dishes to the kitchen. They put them back on the table. They play with them. They share them. They have fun. They are happy. Mom and Dad are happy. They watch them. They say, "That is our Lily and Ben. They are good twins. They are good children. We are proud of them."
+
+The end.
+Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play in the park. They collect rocks and leaves and flowers. They put them in a big bag.
+
+One day, they see a yellow taxi on the street. It is shiny and fast. They want to see it closer. They run to the taxi, but they do not look for cars. A big car honks at them. It almost hits them. They are scared and jump back.
+
+"Hey, kids, be careful!" the taxi driver shouts. He is angry and worried. "You could get hurt by the cars. Stay on the sidewalk!"
+
+Tom and Anna are sorry. They did not mean to be bad. They say sorry to the taxi driver. He is not angry anymore. He smiles and gives them a candy.
+
+"Thank you, mister," Tom and Anna say. They are happy and go back to the park. They share the candy and play with their rocks and leaves and flowers. They are careful and do not run to the street again. They have fun and are safe.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys in their room. But sometimes they fight over the same toy. They get jealous of each other.
+
+One day, their mom gives them a new toy. It is a powder that changes color when you add water. Anna and Ben are very happy. They want to try the powder right away.
+
+"Let me have it first!" Anna says. She grabs the powder from Ben's hand.
+
+"No, it's mine!" Ben says. He pulls the powder back.
+
+They tug and tug. The powder spills on the floor. It makes a big mess.
+
+"Oh no!" Anna and Ben say. They look at the powder. It is all gone.
+
+Their mom comes in. She sees the mess. She is not happy.
+
+"What happened here?" she asks.
+
+"Anna grabbed the powder from me!" Ben says.
+
+"No, Ben grabbed the powder from me!" Anna says.
+
+They both blame each other. They do not say sorry.
+
+Their mom shakes her head. She says, "You should not be jealous of each other. You should share your toys. Now you have no powder to play with. And you have to clean up the mess."
+
+Anna and Ben feel bad. They realize they were wrong. They say sorry to each other. They hug and make up.
+
+They help their mom clean up the mess. They promise to share their toys next time.
+
+The moral of the story is: Jealousy can ruin your fun. Sharing is caring.
+Ben and Lily were hungry. They wanted to eat pasta for lunch. Mom said she would make pasta for them. She went to the kitchen and opened a big box. Inside the box, there was a lot of pasta. Mom took some pasta and put it in a pot with water. She turned on the stove and waited for the water to boil.
+
+Ben and Lily were curious. They wanted to see the pasta. They went to the kitchen and looked at the pot. The water was bubbling and the pasta was moving. Ben said, "Look, Lily, the pasta is dancing!" Lily said, "Wow, that's funny! Can I touch it?" Ben said, "No, it's hot. Mom said we can't touch the stove. It can hurt us."
+
+But Lily did not listen. She wanted to touch the pasta. She climbed on a chair and reached for the pot. She grabbed the handle and pulled. The pot tipped over and the water and the pasta spilled out. The water and the pasta were very hot. They burned Lily's hand and face. Lily screamed and cried. Mom heard the scream and ran to the kitchen. She saw what happened and was very scared and angry. She picked up Lily and wrapped her in a towel. She said, "Lily, what did you do? You were very naughty and silly. You should have listened to me and Ben. Now you are hurt and we have no pasta. We have to go to the doctor." Lily felt very sorry and sad. She wished she had not touched the pasta. She wished she had listened to Mom and Ben. She learned a hard lesson.
+Anna and Ben were playing with a ball in the park. They liked to throw the ball to each other and catch it. Sometimes they missed and the ball rolled away. They had to run after it and bring it back.
+
+One time, the ball rolled too far and went into the bushes. Anna and Ben followed it, but they could not see it. They heard a growl from the bushes. They were scared. They saw a big dog with sharp teeth and a dirty fur. The dog had the ball in its mouth. It looked angry.
+
+"Give us our ball back, please!" Anna said to the dog.
+
+The dog growled louder and shook its head. It did not want to give the ball back. It had a knot in its tail. It was not a friendly dog.
+
+Ben had an idea. He saw a stick on the ground. He picked it up and waved it at the dog.
+
+"Hey, dog, look at this! Do you want to play with this stick?" Ben said.
+
+The dog looked at the stick. It recognized the stick as a toy. It liked to play with sticks. It dropped the ball and ran towards the stick. Ben threw the stick far away. The dog chased after it.
+
+Anna and Ben quickly grabbed the ball and ran back to the park. They were happy and relieved. They learned a lesson. They learned to be alert and careful when they play near the bushes. They learned to use their brains and words to solve problems. They learned to share and be kind to animals. They hugged each other and continued to play with the ball.
+Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They liked to make up stories with their dolls and cars. Lily had a pink doll that she called Rosie, and Ben had a blue car that he called Zoom. They pretended that Rosie and Zoom were friends who went on adventures.
+
+One day, they decided to play a game where Rosie and Zoom had to find a treasure. They used a map that Lily drew with crayons. The map showed a big X where the treasure was. They followed the map around the room, looking for clues.
+
+"Look, Rosie, there is a clue!" Ben said, pointing to a piece of paper under the sofa. He reached for it, but it was too far. He twisted his arm, trying to grab it, but he could not. He felt a pain in his elbow. He cried out loud.
+
+"Ben, are you okay?" Lily asked, dropping her doll and running to him. She saw his face was red and wet with tears. She hugged him and said, "I'm sorry, Ben. It was just a game. You don't have to twist your arm. Let me see."
+
+She looked at his elbow and saw a bruise. She said, "It's okay, Ben. It's not bad. It will go away soon. Do you want some ice?"
+
+Ben nodded, still sniffling. Lily said, "Come on, let's go to the kitchen. Mommy will give us some ice and some cocoa. Cocoa makes everything better."
+
+They held hands and walked to the kitchen. Mommy was there, making cookies. She saw them and smiled. She said, "Hello, my sweeties. What are you doing?"
+
+"We were playing a game, Mommy, but Ben hurt his elbow. He twisted it under the sofa. Can we have some ice and some cocoa, please?" Lily said.
+
+"Of course, my darlings. Here, Ben, put this ice on your elbow. It will make it feel better. And here, Lily, help me pour some cocoa for you and Ben. Be careful, it's hot." Mommy said.
+
+She gave them each a mug of cocoa and a cookie. She said, "You are such good children. I love you very much. Now, tell me about your game. What treasure were you looking for?"
+
+Lily and Ben smiled. They forgot about the pain and the clue. They told Mommy about their game and their map. They said, "The treasure was a big hug from you, Mommy."
+
+Mommy laughed and hugged them tight. She said, "That's the best treasure ever. You are my treasure, Lily and Ben."
+Sara and Mark are friends. They like to play in the park. Sara likes to swing and Mark likes to slide. One day, they see a big dog in the park. The dog is brown and furry. It has a long tail and a wet nose.
+
+"Look, Sara, a dog!" Mark says. He runs to the dog. He wants to pet it.
+
+"Wait, Mark, be careful!" Sara says. She is scared of dogs. She thinks they might bite. She stays on the swing.
+
+Mark reaches the dog. He holds out his hand. The dog sniffs his hand. It wags its tail. It licks Mark's face. Mark laughs. He pets the dog.
+
+"See, Sara, the dog is nice!" Mark says. He nods to the dog. The dog nods back. "Do you want to pet it too?"
+
+Sara looks at Mark and the dog. They look happy. She wants to be brave. She gets off the swing. She walks to the dog. She holds out her hand. The dog sniffs her hand. It wags its tail. It licks her face. Sara smiles. She pets the dog.
+
+"I like the dog too!" Sara says. She nods to the dog. The dog nods back. "What is its name?"
+
+Mark looks at the dog's collar. He reads the name. It is a simple word. He can read it.
+
+"His name is Spot!" Mark says. He points to the dog's collar. "See, he has a spot on his ear!"
+
+Sara and Mark look at the dog's ear. They see the spot. It is black and round. They giggle.
+
+"Spot is a good name for him!" Sara says. She hugs the dog. The dog hugs her back.
+
+"Spot is a good dog!" Mark says. He hugs the dog too. The dog hugs him back.
+
+Spot is a healthy dog. He likes to play with Sara and Mark. They are his new friends. They have fun in the park. They are happy.
+Tom likes to write letters to his grandma. He uses a big crayon and a white paper. He draws a picture of his dog and his house. He writes his name and "I love you" at the bottom. He is very proud of his letter.
+
+He asks his mom for a stamp. She gives him a small sticker with a flower on it. He puts it on the corner of his paper. He folds his paper and puts it in a blue envelope. He writes his grandma's name and address on the front. He is ready to send his letter.
+
+He goes with his mom to the post office. He sees a lot of people and machines. He sees a big red box with a slot. His mom says that is a modern way to send letters. She helps him put his envelope in the slot. He hears a beep and a click. He smiles and waves to his letter. He hopes his grandma will like it. He is very happy.
+Lily and Max were playing in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. They saw a big tree with many leaves. They wanted to climb it.
+
+"Look, Max, there is a purple string on the tree!" Lily said. She pointed to a shiny thing that hung from a branch.
+
+"What is it?" Max asked. He was curious.
+
+"Maybe it is a gift. Let's go and see!" Lily said. She ran to the tree and pulled the string.
+
+The string was not a gift. It was a trap. A big net fell on Lily and Max. They were caught.
+
+"Help! Help!" they shouted. They were scared.
+
+A man came out of the bushes. He had a hat and a bag. He was not nice. He wanted to take Lily and Max away.
+
+"Ha ha ha! I got you, you little monkeys!" he said. He laughed.
+
+But Lily and Max were not monkeys. They were children. And they recognized the man. He was the bad man who stole toys from the park.
+
+They remembered what their mom and dad told them. They shouted louder.
+
+"Help! Help! This is the bad man! He steals toys! He is mean!"
+
+Some people heard them. They came to the tree. They saw the net and the man. They were angry.
+
+"Hey, you! Let them go! You are the bad man! We know you!" they said. They chased the man away.
+
+They freed Lily and Max from the net. They hugged them and gave them cookies.
+
+"Are you okay, kids?" they asked. They were kind.
+
+"Yes, we are okay. Thank you for saving us!" Lily and Max said. They were happy.
+
+They learned a lesson. They never touched purple strings again.
+Lily liked to play hide and seek with her big brother Tom. He was very good at finding her, but she was good at hiding. She used her brain to think of new places to hide, like under the bed, behind the curtain, or in the closet.
+
+One day, she had a new idea. She saw a big box in the garage, and she decided to hide inside it. She climbed in and closed the lid. She was very quiet and still. She hoped Tom would not find her.
+
+Tom looked for Lily all over the house. He checked every room, every corner, every nook and cranny. He could not find her. He started to get worried. Where was Lily? He went to the garage and saw the box. He thought it was empty, but he decided to check anyway.
+
+He opened the lid and saw Lily's smiling face. She shouted, "Surprise! You did not find me!" Tom was surprised and happy. He hugged Lily and said, "You are very clever, Lily. You succeeded in hiding from me. You have a big brain. I love you, Lily." Lily said, "I love you too, Tom. You are a good brother. Can we play again?" Tom said, "Yes, we can. But next time, I will hide and you will seek. OK?" Lily said, "OK. Let's play!" They laughed and played together. They had fun.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and hide. They saw a big squash growing on a vine. It was orange and round and shiny.
+
+"Wow, look at that squash!" Tom said. "It is so big and pretty. I want to pick it and take it home."
+
+"No, you can't do that!" Lily said. "That is not our squash. It belongs to the farmer. He works hard to grow it. He will be angry if you take it."
+
+Tom did not listen to Lily. He was naughty and greedy. He ran to the squash and tried to pull it off the vine. But the squash was too heavy and strong. Tom could not move it. He pulled and pulled and pulled.
+
+"Help me, Lily!" Tom shouted. "Help me get this squash!"
+
+Lily shook her head. She did not want to help Tom. She knew he was wrong. She wanted to go back to playing.
+
+"Leave the squash alone, Tom!" Lily said. "You are being silly and mean. Come on, let's go."
+
+But Tom did not hear Lily. He was too busy pulling the squash. He did not see the farmer coming. The farmer was big and tall and mighty. He had a hat and a shovel and a frown. He saw Tom trying to steal his squash. He was very angry.
+
+"Hey, you!" the farmer yelled. "What are you doing with my squash? That is mine, not yours. Let go of it right now!"
+
+Tom was scared. He let go of the squash and ran away. He lost his shoe and his hat and his ball. He ran to Lily and cried.
+
+"Lily, Lily, help me!" Tom said. "The farmer is mad at me. He wants to catch me. He wants to take my things. What can I do?"
+
+Lily looked at Tom. She was sad and sorry for him. She gave him a hug and a kiss.
+
+"Tom, Tom, don't cry," Lily said. "I will help you. I will talk to the farmer. I will say sorry for you. I will ask him to give you back your things. But you have to promise me something. You have to promise me you will never try to take something that is not yours again. You have to be good and kind and honest. Do you promise?"
+
+Tom nodded. He wiped his tears and sniffed. He felt bad and ashamed. He learned his lesson.
+
+"I promise, Lily," Tom said. "I promise I will be good. I am sorry I was naughty. I am sorry I made you and the farmer upset. Thank you for helping me. You are the best friend ever."
+
+Lily smiled. She took Tom's hand and walked to the farmer. She hoped he would be nice and forgive them. She hoped they could still play in the garden. She hoped they could still see the big and pretty squash. But she knew they would never touch it again.
+Tom and Lily were friends who liked to play music. Tom played the drum and Lily played the flute. They made happy sounds together and had fun.
+
+One day, a new boy came to their school. His name was Sam and he played the guitar. He was very good at it and everyone wanted to hear him. Tom and Lily also liked his music, but they felt something bad in their hearts. They were jealous of Sam.
+
+They wanted to show that they were better musicians than Sam, so they played louder and faster. But they did not listen to each other, and their music became noisy and ugly. They started to quarrel and blame each other for making mistakes.
+
+"Your drum is too loud, you hurt my ears!" Lily said.
+
+"Your flute is too high, you sound like a bird!" Tom said.
+
+They stopped playing and turned away from each other. They were not friends anymore.
+
+Sam saw them and felt sorry for them. He went to them and said, "Why are you fighting? Your music is beautiful when you play together. You don't have to be jealous of me, I like your music too. Can I play with you?"
+
+Tom and Lily looked at Sam and then at each other. They felt ashamed and sorry for being mean. They nodded and smiled at Sam. They picked up their instruments and played again. This time, they listened to each other and to Sam, and their music became happy and lovely again. They were friends again.
+Lily loved to bounce. She bounced on her bed, on the sofa, on the trampoline. She bounced everywhere she could. She liked to make noises when she bounced, like "boing, boing, boing".
+
+One day, she saw a violin in her mom's room. It was shiny and brown, with strings and a bow. Lily wanted to play with it. She thought it would make nice noises too. She took the violin and the bow and ran to the living room. She bounced on the sofa with the violin and the bow in her hands. She tried to make sounds with them, but they only made squeaks and scratches.
+
+"Stop, stop, stop!" Mom shouted. She came into the living room and saw Lily bouncing with the violin. She was very angry. "Lily, that is not a toy! That is my violin! It is very special and expensive. You could break it or hurt yourself. Give it to me right now!"
+
+Lily was scared and sad. She did not mean to make Mom angry. She just wanted to have fun. She gave the violin and the bow to Mom and said, "Sorry, Mom. I did not know. I thought it was a toy. I wanted to make music like you."
+
+Mom sighed and hugged Lily. She was not angry anymore. She was glad that Lily was not hurt and that the violin was not broken. She said, "I know, Lily. I know you love music. But this violin is not for bouncing. It is for playing gently and carefully. It is a famous violin. It belonged to my grandma, who was a great musician. She gave it to me when I was a little girl. It is very precious to me. Do you understand?"
+
+Lily nodded. She said, "Yes, Mom. I understand. I am sorry. Can you play the violin for me? I want to hear how it sounds."
+
+Mom smiled and said, "Of course, Lily. I will play the violin for you. And maybe, when you are older, I will teach you how to play it too. But for now, let's find something else for you to bounce with. How about this ball?"
+
+Lily clapped and said, "Yes, Mom. I love the ball. Let's bounce with the ball. Boing, boing, boing!"
+Sam and Mia like to play in the park. They see many animals there. They see birds, dogs, cats, and squirrels. They like to watch them and make noises like them.
+
+One day, they see a new animal. It is big and brown. It has a long nose and big ears. It makes a loud sound like "honk". Sam and Mia are curious. They want to know what it is.
+
+They go closer to the animal. The animal sees them and smiles. It says, "Hello, I am Zara. I am a zip animal. Do you want to play with me?"
+
+Sam and Mia are surprised. They have never heard of a zip animal. They ask, "What is a zip animal? What can you do?"

+Zara says, "A zip animal is a powerful animal. I can run very fast and make a lot of noise. I can also zip my nose and ears. Watch this!" She zips her nose and ears and makes them smaller. Then she zips them again and makes them bigger. She zips them back and forth. Sam and Mia laugh. They think it is funny.
+
+They say, "Wow, you are a cool animal. We want to play with you. Can you teach us how to zip?"
+
+Zara says, "Sure, I can teach you. But you have to be careful. Zipping is not easy. You have to use your mind and your breath. And you have to zip only what you want to zip. Not what you don't want to zip."
+
+Sam and Mia nod. They are ready to learn. They follow Zara to a quiet place. They sit down and listen to her. She tells them how to zip. They try to zip their noses and ears. They have fun zipping. They make new friends with Zara. They are happy. They like the zip animal.

+
+"Who are you?" the boy asks. He sees the collars on Tom and Lily. He reads their names.

+
+The boy wipes his tears. He smiles a little. He likes dogs. He sees that Tom and Lily are friendly.
+

+
+Tom and Lily wag their tails. They like the boy. They want to be his friends.
+

+Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play together. One day, they found a big pair of scissors in their mom's drawer. They thought it would be fun to cut things with the scissors. They cut their hair, their clothes, their books, and their toys. They made a big mess in their room.
+
+Their mom came home and saw the mess. She was very angry and sad. She said, "Why did you cut everything? You ruined your things and made a lot of waste. Cutting is not a game. You could have hurt yourself or each other. You have to be careful and respectful with scissors and other things. You have to say sorry and help me clean up."
+
+Anna and Ben felt sorry and ashamed. They said sorry to their mom and helped her clean up. They also said sorry to each other for cutting their hair and clothes. They learned that cutting is not a game and that they have to be careful and respectful with things.
+
+The next day, their mom took them to the bus stop. They were going to visit their grandma. They saw a big bus with colorful pictures on it. They liked the bus and wanted to ride on it. Their mom said, "This is a special bus. It takes people to a different place where they eat spicy food and speak a different language. Spicy food is food that makes your mouth hot and hurts your tongue. Do you want to try spicy food?"
+
+Anna and Ben remembered how they cut everything and how it made them and their mom unhappy. They did not want to try spicy food and hurt their mouth. They said, "No, thank you. We want to go to grandma's house. She makes yummy food that we like. We do not want to cut or hurt anything or anyone. We want to be careful and respectful."
+
+Their mom smiled and hugged them. She said, "I am proud of you. You learned a good lesson. Cutting and hurting are not good. Being careful and respectful are good. You are good children. I love you." They got on the bus that took them to grandma's house. They had a happy day with grandma and ate yummy food. They did not cut or hurt anything or anyone. They were careful and respectful.
+Lila and Ben are twins. They like to play with blocks. They make towers and bridges and houses. Sometimes they share and sometimes they fight.
+
+One day, they decide to have a contest. Who can make the biggest tower? They start to build with their blocks. Lila builds her tower in the east corner of the room. Ben builds his tower in the west corner of the room.
+
+They work hard and fast. They use all the blocks they can find. They make their towers taller and taller. They want to win the contest.
+
+But then, they run out of blocks. There are no more blocks left. They look at each other's towers. They are both very big. But which one is bigger?
+
+Lila says, "My tower is bigger. I win. You lose."
+
+Ben says, "No, my tower is bigger. You lose. I win."
+
+They start to argue. They are not fair. They are not happy.
+
+Mom hears them. She comes to the room. She sees their towers and their faces. She says, "Stop. Stop fighting. You both did a good job. You both finish your towers. They are both big and nice. But you know what? It is not fair to use all the blocks. What if someone else wants to play with them? You have to share. Sharing is good. Sharing is fun. Why don't you make one big tower together? Then you can both win."
+
+Lila and Ben think. They feel sorry. They say, "Sorry, Mom. Sorry, Lila. Sorry, Ben. You are right. Sharing is good. Sharing is fun. Let's make one big tower together."
+
+They smile. They hug. They take their blocks and start to build. They make one big tower in the middle of the room. They use all the colors and shapes. They make it as high as they can. They are happy. They are fair. They are friends.
+Sara was a grumpy girl. She did not like to share her toys or play with others. She always wanted to have everything for herself. One day, she found a shiny ring on the ground. She picked it up and put it on her hand. She thought it was very pretty and she wanted to keep it.
+
+But the ring was not a toy. It was a magic ring that belonged to a fairy. The fairy was looking for her ring and she saw Sara wearing it. She was very angry and she flew to Sara. She said, "Give me back my ring, you naughty girl! That is mine, not yours!"
+
+Sara was scared of the fairy, but she was also stubborn. She said, "No, I found it, it is mine! Go away, you are not nice!" She tried to run away, but the ring was too tight on her hand. It hurt her a lot and she started to cry.
+
+The fairy felt sorry for Sara, but she also wanted to teach her a lesson. She said, "The ring is cursed. It will only come off if you learn to be kind and share. You have to examine your hand and your heart and see what is wrong. Then you have to say sorry and do something good for someone else."
+
+Sara did not want to listen, but she had no choice. She looked at her hand and saw that it was red and swollen. She looked at her heart and saw that it was selfish and mean. She felt ashamed and sad. She said, "I am sorry, fairy. I was wrong. I will give you back your ring and I will try to be better. Please help me."
+
+The fairy smiled and said, "That is a good start. Now, look around you and see who needs your help. Maybe you can share your toys or play with someone who is lonely. Then the ring will loosen and you will be free."
+
+Sara did as the fairy said. She found a boy who had no toys and she gave him one of hers. She found a girl who was crying and she hugged her and made her laugh. She found a dog who was hungry and she gave him some food. She did all these things without expecting anything in return. She felt happy and warm inside.
+
+She looked at her hand and saw that the ring was loose. She took it off and gave it to the fairy. She said, "Thank you, fairy. I learned my lesson. I will be kind and share from now on. I hope you forgive me."
+
+The fairy nodded and said, "You are welcome, Sara. I forgive you. You have a good heart, you just need to use it more. I hope you keep your promise and be a good friend to others. Here, take this flower as a gift. It will remind you of me and of what you learned today."
+
+She gave Sara a beautiful flower and flew away. Sara smiled and smelled the flower. She felt a new joy in her heart. She ran to her friends and said, "Let's play together! I have something to show you!" She showed them the flower and told them the story. They all listened and learned from her. They all played happily and shared their toys. Sara was no longer a grumpy girl. She was a kind and generous girl. And she never forgot the fairy and the magic ring.
+Tommy loved to visit his grandpa's farm. He liked to see the animals, especially the cows. He wanted to touch them and feed them, but his grandpa always said no. He said the cows were big and strong, and they could hurt Tommy if he got too close.
+
+One day, Tommy saw a cow that looked different from the others. It was smaller and thinner, and it had a sad face. Tommy felt sorry for the cow, and he wanted to make it happy. He asked his grandpa if he could give the cow some grass, but his grandpa said no. He said the cow was sick, and it needed special food and medicine.
+
+But Tommy did not listen. He insisted that he could help the cow. He waited until his grandpa was busy, and he sneaked into the barn. He found some grass and hay, and he brought them to the cow. He said, "Don't be sad, cow. I have some yummy food for you. You will feel better soon."
+
+The cow looked at Tommy with its big eyes, and it mooed softly. It seemed to like Tommy, and it ate some of the grass and hay. Tommy was happy, and he stroked the cow's head. He said, "You are a good cow. I am your friend."
+
+But then, something bad happened. The cow started to cough and wheeze, and it fell to the ground. It was having trouble breathing, and it was in pain. Tommy was scared, and he ran to get his grandpa. He said, "Grandpa, grandpa, something is wrong with the cow! It is sick, it is sick!"
+
+His grandpa rushed to the barn, and he saw the cow lying on the floor. He saw the grass and hay that Tommy had given it, and he shook his head. He said, "Oh, Tommy, what have you done? This cow is allergic to grass and hay. It can only eat special food and medicine. You have made it worse, not better."
+
+Tommy felt very bad. He did not mean to hurt the cow, he only wanted to help. He said, "I'm sorry, grandpa, I'm sorry. I thought the cow was hungry and sad. I thought I could make it happy."
+
+His grandpa sighed, and he hugged Tommy. He said, "I know, Tommy, I know. You have a kind heart, and that is a good thing. But you also have to listen to your elders, and learn from them. They know more than you, and they want to protect you and the animals. Sometimes, helping is not doing what you want, but doing what is best."
+
+Tommy nodded, and he said, "I understand, grandpa, I understand. I will listen to you next time, and I will not insist on my way. I hope the cow will be okay."
+
+His grandpa smiled, and he said, "Don't worry, Tommy, don't worry. The cow will be okay. I have some medicine for it, and it will recover soon. But you have to promise me one thing. You have to promise me that you will never feed the cows again, unless I say so."
+
+Tommy promised, and he said, "I promise, grandpa, I promise. I will never feed the cows again, unless you say so."
+
+And he kept his promise, and he never troubled the cows again. He learned his lesson, and he became a good and obedient boy. And the cow got better, and it became his friend. And they all lived happily ever after. The end.
+Lily and Ben were playing outside in the garden. They liked to run and jump and laugh. But then the sky became dark and the rain started to fall. Lily and Ben ran to the porch to stay dry.
+
+"Look, the rain is making big splashes on the ground!" Lily said, pointing at the puddles.
+
+"I want to splash too!" Ben said, and ran off the porch. He jumped into a puddle and got wet.
+
+"Ben, come back! You will catch a cold!" Lily shouted. She followed him and tried to pull him back to the porch.
+
+"No, let me go! I want to play!" Ben said, and slapped Lily's hand away. Lily felt a sting on her hand and tears in her eyes.
+
+"Ow, Ben, that hurt! Why did you slap me?" Lily asked, rubbing her hand.
+
+Ben looked at Lily and saw her sad face. He felt sorry for what he did. He did not mean to hurt her. He was just having fun.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily. I was silly. I didn't want to slap you. I want to be your friend." Ben said, and hugged Lily.
+
+Lily hugged him back and smiled. She forgave him. She knew he was compassionate. He cared about her.
+
+"Let's go back to the porch. We can play there until the rain stops." Lily said, and took Ben's hand.
+
+They walked back to the porch and played with their toys. They were happy again. They liked the rain, but they liked each other more.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play with blocks and cars. They have a lot of fun together.
+
+One day, Anna and Ben see a big pile of blocks in the corner. They want to build a tower with the blocks. They start to work on the tower. They put one block on top of another block. They make the tower taller and taller.
+
+But then, Tom comes along. Tom is not a nice boy. He likes to break things and make people angry. He sees Anna and Ben's tower. He wants to join them. But he does not ask nicely. He pushes Anna and Ben away. He takes some of their blocks. He puts them on the tower in a bad way. He makes the tower fall down.
+
+Anna and Ben are very angry. They worked hard on the tower. They shout at Tom. They tell him to go away. They do not want to play with him. They want to build the tower again.
+
+Tom is angry too. He does not like to be told what to do. He does not like to share. He kicks the blocks. He makes a big mess. He runs away.
+
+Anna and Ben are sad. They look at the mess. They do not have enough blocks to build the tower again. They do not have any fun.
+
+But then, Lisa comes along. Lisa is a nice girl. She likes to help people and make them happy. She sees Anna and Ben's mess. She asks them what happened. They tell her about Tom. She feels sorry for them. She has an idea. She says she has more blocks in her bag. She asks them if they want to join her. She says they can work together and build a bigger tower.
+
+Anna and Ben are happy. They like Lisa. They say yes. They join her. They take out her blocks. They work together and build a bigger tower. They make the tower taller and taller. They have a lot of fun.
+Timmy was sad. He had a big boo-boo on his knee from falling off his bike. He cried and cried. Mommy put a band-aid on his knee and gave him a hug, but he still felt bad.
+
+"Timmy, do you want to see something amazing?" Mommy asked.
+
+"What is it?" Timmy sniffed.
+
+Mommy took him to the living room, where a clown was waiting for them. The clown had a big red nose, a funny hat, and a colorful suit. He smiled and waved at Timmy.
+
+"Hello, Timmy! I'm Bobo the clown, and I'm here to make you laugh!" the clown said.
+
+The clown did all kinds of silly things. He juggled balls, made balloon animals, and told jokes. He even let Timmy wear his hat and nose. Timmy forgot about his boo-boo and started to giggle. He liked the clown very much.
+
+"Are you feeling better, Timmy?" Mommy asked.
+
+"Yes, Mommy. Bobo is amazing. He made me happy," Timmy said.
+
+"I'm glad, Timmy. Bobo is here to comfort you and cheer you up. He's a very nice clown," Mommy said.
+
+"Thank you, Bobo. You're the best clown ever," Timmy said.
+
+"You're very welcome, Timmy. You're a brave and smart boy. And remember, a smile is the best medicine," Bobo said.
+
+Timmy smiled and hugged Bobo. He was not sad anymore. He was happy.
+Tim and Lily are friends. They like to play with toys. One day, they find a red rocket in the park. It is big and shiny.
+
+"Wow, look at this rocket!" Tim says. "Can we play with it?"
+
+"Yes, let's do it!" Lily says. "Maybe it can fly to the moon!"
+
+They take the rocket to a hill. They put it on the ground and push a button. The rocket makes a loud noise and smoke. It starts to move.
+
+"Yay, it works!" Tim says. "Let's go with it!"
+
+They run after the rocket. They want to get inside. But the rocket is too fast. It goes up and up and up. It flies away from the hill.
+
+"Wait, come back!" Lily says. "We want to go with you!"
+
+But the rocket does not hear them. It goes higher and higher. It leaves the park. It leaves the town. It leaves the earth.
+
+Tim and Lily are sad. They cry. They lost their rocket. They lost their chance to go to the moon. They do not know where the rocket is going. They do not know if they will ever see it again. They wish they did not play with it. They wish they left it in the park. They wish they had a different toy.
+Sam and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to dig and find bugs and worms. They also liked to eat snacks. Mom gave them some new snacks. They were round and brown and crunchy.
+
+"Look, Sam, new snacks!" Lily said. She opened the bag and took one. She bit it and made a face. "Yuck! This snack is bad. It tastes like rot!"
+
+Sam took one too. He bit it and spit it out. "You are right, Lily. This snack is bad. It tastes like rot. Maybe it is old. Let's throw it away."
+
+They threw the bag in the trash can. Then they saw a squirrel. The squirrel ran to the trash can and took the bag. It opened it and ate the snacks.
+
+"Look, Lily, the squirrel likes the snacks!" Sam said. He laughed. "Maybe the squirrel likes rot."
+
+Lily laughed too. "Maybe the squirrel likes rot. But we don't. Let's go ask Mom for another snack. A good snack. A snack that does not taste like rot."
+Lila and Tom were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big pile of squash that someone had left on the grass. They thought it would be fun to kick the squash and watch them break.
+
+"Look, Lila, squash!" Tom said. "Let's kick them!"
+
+"OK, Tom, let's kick them!" Lila agreed.
+
+They ran to the pile and started to kick the squash with their feet. They laughed as the squash cracked and splashed. They did not see the man who owned the squash coming towards them.
+
+The man was bald and angry. He had grown the squash in his garden and wanted to sell them at the market. He was very sad and mad when he saw what Lila and Tom had done.
+
+"Hey, you two, stop that!" he shouted. "You are ruining my squash! How would you like it if I kicked your toys?"
+
+Lila and Tom stopped kicking and looked at the man. They felt scared and sorry. They realized they had done something bad.
+
+"We are sorry, sir," Lila said. "We did not know they were your squash. We just wanted to play."
+
+"We are sorry, sir," Tom said. "We did not mean to make you sad and mad. We will not do it again."
+
+The man saw that Lila and Tom were sincere. He calmed down and decided to forgive them.
+
+"It's OK, kids," he said. "I accept your apology. But you should not kick things that do not belong to you. You should respect other people's property and work. Do you understand?"
+
+"Yes, sir, we understand," Lila and Tom said.
+
+"Good. Now, why don't you help me pick up the squash and put them in my truck? Maybe I can still sell some of them. And maybe I can give you one to take home and eat. Squash are good for you, you know."
+
+"OK, sir, we will help you," Lila and Tom said.
+
+They helped the man load the squash in his truck. He gave them each a squash to take home. They thanked him and said goodbye.
+
+Lila and Tom learned a lesson that day. They learned to be careful and kind with other people's things. They learned that kicking is not always fun. And they learned that squash are tasty.
+Tom and Lily were friends who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big truck with many boxes on it. The truck was going to the town, where there were many shops and people.
+
+"Let's follow the truck!" Tom said. "Maybe we can see what is in the boxes."
+
+"Okay!" Lily said. "But we have to be careful. The town is far and busy."
+
+Tom and Lily ran after the truck, but they did not look where they were going. They were careless. They crossed the road without looking for cars. They did not hear their mommies calling them. They did not see the signs that said "Stop" or "Danger".
+
+Soon, they reached the town. The truck stopped at a big building. Tom and Lily sneaked behind it and peeked at the boxes. They saw toys, books, clothes, and candy.
+
+"Wow!" Tom said. "Look at all the things! Can we take some?"
+
+"No!" Lily said. "That is not right. They belong to someone else."
+
+But Tom did not listen. He grabbed a box of candy and ran away. Lily followed him, but she was scared. She did not like the town. It was loud and crowded. She wanted to go home.
+
+"Tom, stop!" Lily said. "We have to go back! We are lost!"
+
+But Tom did not stop. He was greedy. He wanted more candy. He ran into a shop and took another box. He did not see the shopkeeper, who was angry. He did not see the policeman, who was watching. He did not see the big dog, who was barking.
+
+The shopkeeper shouted, "Hey, you! Stop that thief!"
+
+The policeman blew his whistle, "Stop, or I'll catch you!"
+
+The dog chased Tom, "Woof, woof, woof!"
+
+Tom was scared. He dropped the boxes and ran away. He did not know where to go. He did not see Lily, who was crying. He did not see his mommy, who was looking for him. He did not see the truck, who was leaving.
+
+Tom was alone in the town. He was sorry. He wished he had not been careless. He wished he had not followed the truck. He wished he had listened to Lily. He wished he had stayed home.
+Lily and Max were at the zoo with their mom. They saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and giraffes. But their favorite was the rhinoceros. The rhinoceros was big and strong, and had a horn on his nose.
+
+"Can we go closer, mom?" Lily asked.
+
+"Sure, but be careful. The rhinoceros can be grumpy sometimes," mom said.
+
+They walked to the fence and saw the rhinoceros eating some grass. He looked up and saw them. He snorted and shook his head.
+
+"Hello, rhinoceros!" Max said. "You are very strong. Can you do a trick for us?"
+
+The rhinoceros did not answer. He walked to a big rock and pushed it with his horn. The rock rolled down a hill and hit a slide. The slide broke and fell over.
+
+"Wow, that was a big trick!" Lily said. "But now the slide is broken. The other kids can't play on it."
+
+The rhinoceros looked at the slide and felt sorry. He walked to the slide and lifted it with his horn. He carried it back to the hill and put it in its place. He fixed the slide.
+
+"Thank you, rhinoceros!" Max said. "You are very strong and very kind. Can we be your friends?"
+
+The rhinoceros nodded and smiled. He let Lily and Max pet his horn. They became friends.
+
+Mom took a picture of them and said, "What a nice story. You made a new friend today. The rhinoceros is very special."
+
+Lily and Max agreed. They waved goodbye to the rhinoceros and went to see the other animals. They had a fun day at the zoo.
+Lily likes to read books. She has many books with pictures and words. She can read some words by herself, but she likes when Mom or Dad read to her.
+
+One day, Lily finds a new book in her room. It is a big book with a pale cover. On the cover, there is a picture of a big bird with a long neck and legs. Lily does not know what the bird is. She opens the book and sees more pictures of the bird.
+
+She runs to Mom and shows her the book. "Mom, what is this bird?" she asks. Mom smiles and says, "That is an ostrich, Lily. It is a very fast and strong bird. It lives in a place called Africa, where it is very hot and dry. Do you want me to read you the book?"
+
+Lily nods and climbs on Mom's lap. Mom reads the book to Lily and tells her many things about the ostrich. Lily learns that the ostrich has feathers, but it cannot fly. It has big eyes, but it does not bury its head in the sand. It has two toes, but it can run very fast. It lays big eggs, but it does not sit on them.
+
+Lily likes the book and the ostrich. She thinks the ostrich is very interesting and funny. She says, "Thank you, Mom, for reading me the book. Can we read it again tomorrow?" Mom hugs Lily and says, "Of course, my dear. I'm glad you like the book and the ostrich. Maybe someday we can see an ostrich in real life." Lily smiles and says, "That would be fun, Mom. I love you." Mom says, "I love you too, Lily." They kiss and cuddle and read the book again.
+Tom likes to play basketball with his friends. He has a big orange ball that he can bounce and throw. He likes to run and jump and make the ball go in the hoop.
+
+One day, Tom sees a fat cat on the street. The cat is black and white and has a bell on its neck. Tom thinks the cat is cute and wants to pet it. He puts his ball down and walks to the cat.
+
+But the cat does not like Tom. The cat hisses and scratches Tom's hand. Tom cries and runs away. He forgets his ball.
+
+The cat sees the ball and thinks it is a toy. The cat plays with the ball and bites it. The ball pops and makes a loud noise. The cat is scared and runs away too.
+
+Tom comes back to get his ball. But he does not find his ball. He finds a flat orange thing that is not a ball. He is sad and angry. His ball is changed and he can not play basketball anymore. He wishes he never saw the fat cat.
+Lily and Tom were playing with clay. They liked to make different shapes and feel the texture. The clay was soft and smooth in their hands. They had red, blue, yellow and green clay.
+
+"Look, I made a flower!" Lily said, showing Tom her red and yellow clay. "It has petals and a stem."
+
+"That's pretty!" Tom said. "I made a car. It has wheels and a door." He showed Lily his blue and green clay.
+
+They put their clay on a tray and went to get some water. But when they came back, they saw a big dog. The dog was sniffing their clay. He liked the smell and the texture. He opened his mouth and bit the clay.
+
+"Hey, stop!" Lily shouted. "That's our clay!"
+
+The dog did not listen. He chewed the clay and swallowed it. He made a mess on the tray. He ate all the clay, except for a small piece of pale green clay.
+
+Lily and Tom were sad and angry. They ran to the dog and tried to get their clay back. But the dog was bigger and stronger. He growled and barked at them.
+
+"Go away!" the dog said. "This is my clay!"
+
+"No, it's not!" Tom said. "You stole it from us!"
+
+The dog did not care. He licked his lips and looked at the pale green clay. He wanted to eat it too.
+
+But Lily was quick. She grabbed the pale green clay and ran away. She saved the last piece of clay.
+
+"Ha ha!" she said. "I saved it!"
+
+Tom followed her. He was happy that Lily saved the clay. He hugged her and thanked her.
+
+"You're welcome!" Lily said. "Let's share it. We can make something new."
+
+They smiled and nodded. They went to a safe place and played with the pale green clay. They made a frog. It had eyes and legs. They liked their frog. They forgot about the dog and the other clay. They had fun with the texture and the color. They were happy.
+One day, a boy named Tom and a girl named Mia went to the park with their mom. They brought their favorite vehicles: Tom had a red car and Mia had a yellow bike. They liked to roll their vehicles on the grass and the paths.
+
+"Look, Tom, I can roll my bike very fast!" Mia said, as she pedaled hard.
+
+"I can roll my car faster!" Tom said, as he pushed his car with his hands.
+
+They raced each other, laughing and having fun. But then, they saw something strange. It was a big, black vehicle that they had never seen before. It had four wheels, but no doors or windows. It had a long, metal arm with a claw at the end. It made a loud, scary noise.
+
+"What is that?" Tom asked, feeling afraid.
+
+"I don't know. It is an unknown vehicle. Maybe it is bad." Mia said, feeling afraid too.
+
+They stopped rolling their vehicles and hid behind a tree. They watched as the unknown vehicle moved towards the trash cans. It used its metal arm to grab the trash and put it in a big hole at the back. It did this over and over again.
+
+"Maybe it is not bad. Maybe it is just cleaning the park." Tom said, feeling curious.
+
+"Maybe. But it is still unknown. I don't want to go near it." Mia said, feeling cautious.
+
+They waited until the unknown vehicle rolled away. Then, they ran to their mom, who was sitting on a bench. They told her what they saw.
+
+"That was a garbage truck. It is a vehicle that helps us keep the park clean. It is not bad, it is good." Mom said, smiling.
+
+"A garbage truck? That is a funny name. Can we roll our vehicles again?" Tom asked, feeling happy.
+
+"Sure, but be careful and stay away from the road. There are other vehicles there that are fast and dangerous." Mom said, feeling proud.
+
+"Okay, mom. Come on, Mia, let's roll!" Tom said, feeling excited.
+
+They grabbed their vehicles and rolled them on the grass and the paths again. They had a lot of fun at the park. They learned something new about an unknown vehicle. They were brave and smart.
+Lily and Max were playing with their crayons and paper. They liked to draw and make prints of their hands and feet. Lily made a print of her hand with red crayon. She showed it to Max and said, "Look, I made a hand print. It is red like a flower."
+
+Max looked at Lily's print and felt envious. He wanted to make a hand print too, but he only had a blue crayon. He thought blue was a boring color. He said, "I don't like your print. It is too red. Red is a bad color."
+
+Lily felt sad and angry. She said, "No, red is a good color. It is the color of love and fire. You are just mean and jealous. You can't have my print."
+
+Max felt more envious and angry. He grabbed Lily's print and tore it in half. He said, "Now your print is destroyed. Ha ha ha. You can't have it either."
+
+Lily cried and screamed. She said, "You are a bad brother. You destroyed my print. I hate you. Go away."
+
+Their mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw the torn print and the crying Lily. She said, "What happened here? Why did you destroy Lily's print, Max? That was not nice. You need to say sorry and make a new print for her."
+
+Max felt ashamed and sorry. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I destroyed your print because I was envious. I wanted to make a hand print too, but I only had a blue crayon. I was wrong. Can I make a new print for you?"
+
+Lily stopped crying and looked at Max. She said, "It's okay, Max. I forgive you. You can make a new print for me. And I can make a new print for you. We can use both red and blue crayons. They can make purple together. Purple is a nice color."
+
+Max smiled and hugged Lily. He said, "Thank you, Lily. You are a good sister. I love you. Let's make prints together."
+
+Their mom smiled and gave them both a kiss. She said, "I'm proud of you, Lily and Max. You learned to share and forgive. You are good children. Let's make prints together."
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play outside after the rain. They put on their boots and coats and run to the park. There they see many puddles. They jump and splash in the puddles. They laugh and have fun.
+
+"Look, Lily, a big puddle!" Ben says. He points to a puddle that is bigger than the others. He runs to the puddle and jumps in. He makes a big splash. Water goes everywhere.
+
+"Wow, Ben, that was a big splash!" Lily says. She runs to the puddle and jumps in too. She makes a big splash. Water goes everywhere.
+
+They jump and splash in the big puddle. They spend a long time in the puddle. They are wet and happy.

+Then they hear their mom calling them. "Lily, Ben, time to go home!" Mom says. She is standing by the gate. She has a towel and a smile.
+
+"OK, Mom, we are coming!" Lily and Ben say. They get out of the puddle and run to Mom. Mom wraps them in the towel and hugs them.
+
+"Did you have fun in the puddles?" Mom asks.
+
+"Yes, Mom, we had a lot of fun!" Lily and Ben say.
+
+Mom smiles and takes them home. She gives them a warm bath and a hot chocolate. She reads them a story and tucks them in bed. They are calm and sleepy.
+
+They dream of puddles and splashes. They are happy.
+Lily was a little girl who liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was a fairy doll with pink hair and shiny wings. She liked to pretend that the fairy doll could fly and do magic.
+
+One day, Lily found a pair of scissors in her mom's drawer. She was curious and wanted to try them. She took the scissors and went to her room, where her fairy doll was waiting on the bed. She picked up the fairy doll and said, "Hello, fairy. Do you want a new haircut?"
+
+The fairy doll did not answer, because she was not real. But Lily did not know that. She thought the fairy doll was shy. She smiled and said, "Don't worry, fairy. I will make you look pretty. Just hold still."
+
+Lily opened the scissors and started to cut the fairy doll's hair. She cut and cut, until the fairy doll had no more pink hair. She looked at the fairy doll and said, "Wow, you look different. But I like it. You look like a black fairy now."
+
+But then, Lily saw something that made her gasp. She had cut the fairy doll's wings too. The shiny wings were now torn and ragged. They could not fly anymore. Lily felt sad and sorry. She said, "Oh no, fairy. I'm so sorry. I did not mean to cut your wings. Please forgive me."
+
+The fairy doll did not answer, because she was not real. But Lily did not know that. She thought the fairy doll was angry. She hugged the fairy doll and said, "Please, fairy. Don't be mad at me. I love you. I will fix your wings. I will find some glue and some glitter and some paper. I will make you new wings. Please, fairy. Please."
+
+Lily put the fairy doll on the bed and ran to find the glue and the glitter and the paper. She hoped the fairy doll would wait for her. She hoped the fairy doll would still be her friend. She hoped the fairy doll would fly and do magic again.
+Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play outside. They had a big yard with a swing, a slide and a sandbox. One day, they saw a new boy next door. He had dark skin and curly hair. He was holding a ball.
+
+"Hi, I'm Ben. This is Lily. Do you want to play with us?" Ben asked.
+
+"Hi, I'm Sam. I just moved here. Sure, I like to play," Sam said.
+
+They played catch with the ball for a while. Then they went to the sandbox and made castles and roads. They had fun and laughed a lot.
+
+"Your skin is different from ours," Lily said. "It's brown and ours is pink."
+
+Sam smiled. "Yes, my skin is different. But I'm just like you. I like to play and learn and have friends. My skin is just one part of me."
+
+Ben and Lily nodded. They understood. They liked Sam. He was a nice boy.
+
+"Thank you for playing with us, Sam. You are a good friend," Ben said.

+
+"Wow, look at the dog!" Lily says. "It is so fun!"
+
+"Can we follow the dog?" Ben asks. "Maybe it will play with us."
+
+"Okay, let's follow the dog," Lily says. "But we have to be careful. The dog might not like us."
+
+They follow the dog. The dog runs to a pass. A pass is a way between two hills. Lily and Ben run after the dog. They want to see where the dog goes.
+
+But when they get to the pass, they do not see the dog. They only see a big sign. The sign says: "Danger. Do not enter. Bears live here."
+
+"Oh no!" Lily says. "The dog went to the bear's home. The bear might eat the dog."
+
+"Or the bear might eat us!" Ben says. "We have to go back. Now!"
+
+They turn around and run back. They are scared. They hope the dog is okay. They hope the bear is not angry.
+
+They get back to the park. They see the dog. The dog is safe. It is with a man. The man is the dog's owner. He is looking for the dog.
+
+"Hey, there you are!" the man says. "You naughty dog. You ran away from me. Where did you go?"
+
+The dog wags its tail. It licks the man's face. It is happy.
+
+Lily and Ben are happy too. They are glad the dog is not hurt. They are glad they are not hurt. They go to the man and the dog.
+
+"Hello," Lily says. "We followed your dog. It went to the pass. There are bears there."
+
+"Really?" the man says. "That's very brave of you. But also very silly. You should not follow a dog to a dangerous place. You could get hurt."
+
+"We are sorry," Ben says. "We did not know. We just wanted to play with the dog. It is so lively."
+
+The man smiles. He is not mad. He is nice.
+
+"It's okay," he says. "I understand. The dog is lively. It likes to play. But it also likes to explore. Sometimes it gets into trouble. You have to be careful."
+
+He pets the dog. He puts a leash on the dog. He thanks Lily and Ben for finding the dog.
+
+"Do you want to play with the dog for a while?" he asks. "I can watch you. The dog likes kids. And you seem like nice kids."
+
+Lily and Ben nod. They are happy. They want to play with the dog. They think the dog is fun.
+
+They play with the dog. They throw a ball. The dog catches the ball. They laugh. They have fun.
+
+They learn a lesson. They learn to not follow a dog to a dangerous place. They learn to be careful. They also learn to be friendly. They make a new friend. The dog is their new friend. They like the dog. The dog likes them. They are happy. The end.

+
+Sam is OK. He has a scratch on his arm, but it is not bad. He takes his car and says, "Thank you, mister. But this is mine. Your dog should not take it."

+
+One day, Mia had an idea. She wanted to send the lime to her friend Sam, who lived far away. She was adventurous and liked to try new things. She asked her mom for a box and some paper. She put the lime in the box and wrote "To Sam" on the paper. She gave the box to her mom and asked her to send it.
+
+Mom smiled and took the box. She knew Sam was Mia's imaginary friend, but she played along. She put the box in the car and drove to the post office. She gave the box to the lady who worked there and paid some money. The lady said she would send the box to Sam.
+
+Mia was happy. She hoped Sam would like the lime and write back to her. She went back to the garden and played with her other toys. She wondered what Sam would say when he opened the box and saw the lime. She imagined he would make funny faces too.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the kitchen. They wanted to make a cake for Mom. They found a big bowl, some eggs, some flour and some sugar. They also saw a mixer on the counter.
+
+"Let's use the mixer!" Ben said. "It will make the cake good and fluffy!"
+
+Lily nodded. She plugged the mixer in and turned it on. It made a loud noise and started to spin very fast. She held it over the bowl and tried to mix the eggs and flour.
+
+But the mixer was too strong. It splashed the batter all over the kitchen. It got on the walls, the floor, the table and the chairs. It even got on Lily and Ben's faces and clothes.
+
+"Stop! Stop!" Lily shouted. She tried to turn the mixer off, but she couldn't. It was too slippery.
+
+Dad heard the noise and came to the kitchen. He saw the mess and the mixer. He quickly unplugged the mixer and took it from Lily's hand.
+
+"What are you doing?" Dad asked. He was not happy.
+
+"We wanted to make a cake for Mom," Ben said. He looked sad.
+
+Dad sighed. He hugged Lily and Ben. "That was very sweet of you, but you should have asked me first. The mixer is not a toy. It can be dangerous. You could have hurt yourselves or broken something. You need to be careful and listen to me. I can help you make a cake, but first we have to clean up this mess."
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They were sorry. They helped Dad wipe the batter off the kitchen. They also changed their clothes and washed their faces.
+
+"Can we still make a cake for Mom?" Lily asked.
+
+"Of course," Dad said. "But this time, we will use a spoon and a whisk. They are safer and easier to use. And they can also make a good cake."
+
+Lily and Ben smiled. They followed Dad to the kitchen. They hoped Mom would like their cake.

+
+The squirrel is fast. He climbs a tree. He eats the nut. He is full.
+
+Sara and Ben are tired. They sit under the tree. They look at the squirrel.

+
+They hug each other. They are friends again. They are regular.

+
+"It is a lime," Kim says. She knows because she saw it on TV. "It is sour and good for juice."
+

+
+"We ate a lime," Tim and Kim say.
+
+"Why did you do that?" Mom asks.
+
+"We wanted to try something new," Tim and Kim say.
+
+Mom hugs them and says, "That's normal. Sometimes we like to try new things. But not all things are good to eat. Next time, ask me first, OK?"
+

+
+But then, Sam comes. Sam is mean. He does not like to share. He wants all the blocks for himself. He pushes Ben and Mia away. He knocks down their wide tower. The blocks fall and hit Ben and Mia. They cry and suffer.
+
+"Stop, Sam! You are bad!" Ben says. "Go away! These are our blocks!" Mia says. But Sam does not listen. He laughs and takes more blocks.
+
+Ben and Mia are sad and angry. They want their blocks back. They want their wide tower back. They want Sam to leave. They think of a plan. They wait for Sam to turn around. Then, they run to him. They grab his legs and pull him down. He falls and drops the blocks. He cries and suffers.
+
+"Ha, ha, Sam! You are not so big now!" Ben says. "We are not afraid of you!" Mia says. They take their blocks back. They make their wide tower again. They are happy and proud.
+
+Sam is sorry and ashamed. He learns his lesson. He says sorry to Ben and Mia. He asks them to be his friends. He asks them to share the blocks. Ben and Mia are kind. They forgive Sam. They let him join their play. They teach him how to make a wide tower. They are all friends. They have fun.
+Ben and Mia liked to play in the woods near their home. They liked to find bugs and flowers and sticks. One day, they heard a sound like water. They followed the sound and found a stream. The stream was clear and cold and sparkled in the sun.
+
+"Look, Ben, a stream!" Mia said. "Can we play in it?"
+
+Ben nodded. He saw some rocks and pebbles in the stream. He picked one up and threw it in the water. It made a splash and a ripple. Mia did the same. They laughed and threw more rocks.
+
+But then, Ben saw something else in the stream. It was shiny and round and hidden under a leaf. He reached for it and pulled it out. It was a coin. It had a face and some words on it.
+
+"Wow, Mia, look what I found!" Ben said. "A coin! Maybe it's magic!"
+
+Mia looked at the coin. She wanted to touch it too. She reached for it, but Ben pulled it away.
+
+"No, Mia, it's mine!" Ben said. "I found it first!"
+
+Mia felt sad and angry. She wanted to share the coin with Ben. She tried to grab it from him, but he held it tight. They started to fight and tug and shout.
+
+"Give it to me, Ben!"
+
+"No, Mia, it's mine!"
+
+They did not see the man who was watching them from behind a tree. He had a hat and a coat and a bag. He had a mean smile on his face. He had been looking for the coin for a long time. He had hidden it in the stream, but he had lost it. He had followed the sound of the children and saw them find his coin. He waited for his chance to take it back. He crept closer and closer to them. He reached out his hand. He was about to grab the coin.
+One day, Tom and his mom went to the park. Tom liked to play on the swings and slide. He also liked to look at the birds in the trees. He saw many colors and shapes of birds. He wanted to touch them, but his mom said no.
+
+"Mom, why can't I touch the birds?" Tom asked.
+
+"Because they are wild, Tom. They are not like your toys. They are afraid of people. If you try to touch them, they will fly away or bite you. They need their space," his mom explained.
+
+Tom nodded. He understood. He did not want to scare the birds or hurt them. He wanted to be their friend. He decided to watch them from a distance and talk to them softly.
+
+"Hello, birds. You are so pretty. I like your feathers and songs. Do you want to play with me?" Tom said.
+
+Some of the birds looked at Tom. They tilted their heads and chirped. They were curious, but also cautious. They did not know Tom. They did not trust him.
+
+One bird was more brave than the others. It was a small, yellow bird with a black cap. It flew down from the tree and landed on the grass near Tom. It hopped closer and closer to him. It wanted to see him better.
+
+Tom was very happy. He smiled and reached out his hand slowly. He wanted to pet the bird. He thought the bird wanted to be his friend too.
+
+But the bird was frightened. It saw Tom's hand and thought it was a danger. It flapped its wings and flew away. It made a loud noise. It warned the other birds.
+
+Tom was sad. He did not mean to scare the bird. He wanted to say sorry. He wanted to try again.
+
+"Mom, why did the bird fly away? I was nice to it. I just wanted to touch it," Tom said.
+
+"Tom, the bird did not know you were nice. It was afraid of your hand. It thought you wanted to catch it or hurt it. You have to be very gentle and patient with the birds. Maybe next time, you can just sit quietly and watch them. Maybe they will come to you on their own," his mom said.
+
+Tom nodded. He understood. He did not want to frighten the birds. He wanted to be their friend. He decided to wait and see. Maybe the bird would come back. Maybe it would bring more friends. Maybe they would play with him. He hoped so. He loved the birds.

+One day, Lily saw a thin book on the table. It had a picture of a cat on the cover. She liked cats very much. She asked Ben, "How much is this book?"
+
+Ben looked at the book and said, "This book is very special. It is five coins."
+
+Lily only had four coins in her pocket. She felt sad. She really wanted the book. She said, "Please, can I have the book for four coins?"
+
+Ben shook his head. He said, "No, I can't do that. This book is very special. It is five coins."
+
+Lily was about to cry. She looked at the other things on the table. She saw a red ball, a yellow hat, and a green car. She did not want any of them. She only wanted the book.
+

+
+Lily was very happy. She gave Ben the cookie and took the book. She said, "Thank you, Ben. You are a good shopkeeper."
+
+Ben said, "Thank you, Lily. You are a good customer."
+
+They smiled at each other and hugged. They both got what they wanted. They opened the book and read it together. It was a story about a cat who had many adventures. They liked the story very much. They played shop until it was time to go home.
+Lily liked to play with her dolls in her room. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Anna. Anna had a pretty skirt with flowers on it. Lily liked to brush Anna's hair and make her talk.
+
+One day, Lily heard a loud noise outside her door. She saw her brother Jake running into her room. Jake was holding a ball. He threw the ball at Lily's dolls. The ball hit Anna and made her fall. Anna's skirt was torn and her arm was broken.
+
+"Jake, you are bad!" Lily shouted. "You disturb me and my dolls. You break Anna's skirt and arm. Go away!"
+
+Jake laughed. He did not care. He liked to disturb Lily and make her cry. He picked up the ball and threw it again. The ball hit Lily's face. Lily felt pain and tears.
+
+"Jake, stop it!" Lily cried. "You hurt me. You are mean. I hate you!"
+
+Mom heard Lily and Jake. She came into the room. She saw Lily's dolls and Anna. She saw Lily's face and tears. She saw Jake and the ball. She was angry.
+
+"Jake, what are you doing?" Mom asked. "Why do you disturb Lily and break her dolls? Why do you hurt Lily and make her cry? You are naughty. You need a time-out."
+
+Mom took Jake and the ball. She put Jake in a corner. She told him to stay there and think about what he did. She took the ball and put it away. She went to Lily and hugged her.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily," Mom said. "Jake was wrong. He should not disturb you and break your dolls. He should not hurt you and make you cry. You are good. I love you."
+
+Mom helped Lily to fix Anna's skirt and arm. She gave Lily a band-aid for her face. She told Lily to play with her dolls and have fun. Lily smiled. She thanked Mom. She hugged Anna. She was happy.
+Anna and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. Anna had a doll and Ben had a car. They were having fun until Ben saw Anna's doll's vest. It was pink and shiny and had a flower on it.
+
+"Can I have your doll's vest?" Ben asked Anna.
+
+"No, it's mine. It's a gift from Grandma. She made it for me. You have your own vest. It's blue and has a star on it," Anna said.
+
+"But I like your vest more. It's prettier. Please, can I have it?" Ben begged.
+
+"No, you can't. Go away," Anna said.
+
+Ben got angry and tried to grab the vest from Anna's doll. Anna pulled it back and shouted, "Stop it! You're mean!"
+
+They started to fight over the vest, pulling and pushing and yelling. Their mom heard the noise and came to the living room. She saw them fighting and was not happy.
+
+"Anna, Ben, what are you doing? Why are you fighting?" she asked.
+
+They both stopped and looked at their mom. They were quiet for a moment. They paused.
+
+"She won't let me have her doll's vest. It's not fair," Ben said.
+
+"He wants to take my doll's vest. It's mine. It's special," Anna said.
+
+Their mom sighed and said, "Listen, you are both gifted children. You have many toys and clothes and books. You don't need to fight over one vest. You need to share and be kind to each other. How would you feel if someone tried to take your favorite thing?"
+
+They thought about it and felt sorry. They realized they were being selfish and rude.
+
+"I'm sorry, Anna. I shouldn't have tried to take your vest. It's yours and it's nice. Can I play with your doll?" Ben said.
+
+"I'm sorry, Ben. I shouldn't have yelled at you. You can play with my doll. Can I play with your car?" Anna said.
+
+They hugged and said sorry to their mom. They decided to share their toys and play together. Their mom smiled and said, "That's better. I'm proud of you. Now, why don't you put on your own vests and show me how they look?"
+
+They did as their mom said and put on their vests. They looked at each other and smiled. They liked their vests. They were different and beautiful. They thanked their mom and Grandma for their gifts. They played happily and peacefully. They were good friends.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play soccer with their team. Their team is red and the other team is blue. They run and kick the ball on the grass.
+
+One day, the blue team is very mean. They push and shout and cheat. Anna and Ben are sad and angry. They do not want to play with the blue team anymore.
+
+"Stop!" Anna says to the blue team. "You are not nice. You are not fair. We do not like you."
+
+The blue team laughs. "We do not care. We are better than you. We will win the game."
+
+Ben has an idea. He whispers to Anna and their team. They nod and smile. They have a plan.
+
+They wait for the ball to come to them. Then they do not kick it. They roll it. They roll it very slowly and gently. They roll it to the blue team. They roll it to the goal. They roll it out of the field.
+
+The blue team is confused. They do not know what to do. They chase the ball, but they cannot catch it. They get tired and bored. They stop playing.
+
+Anna and Ben and their team clap and cheer. They are happy and proud. They have a fun game. They have a peaceful game.
+
+They roll the ball back to the blue team. They say, "Do you want to play with us? We can play nice. We can play fair. We can be friends."
+
+The blue team thinks. They feel sorry. They nod and smile. They say, "Yes, we want to play with you. We can play nice. We can play fair. We can be friends."
+
+They shake hands and hug. They play soccer together. They have a good time. They are a big team.
+Ben and Lily were playing in the living room. They liked to look at the photos on the shelf. They saw photos of mommy and daddy, of grandma and grandpa, of their dog Spot, and of themselves. They smiled and pointed at the photos.
+
+But then Ben saw a photo he did not like. It was a photo of a scary clown. Ben hated clowns. They had big red noses, funny hair, and loud voices. Ben thought clowns were terrible. He wanted to make the photo go away.
+
+He reached for the photo and tried to push it off the shelf. But he pushed too hard and knocked down all the other photos too. They fell to the floor with a loud crash. Ben and Lily gasped. They heard mommy coming.
+
+Mommy saw the mess and was very angry. She asked Ben and Lily what happened. Ben said he was sorry. He said he did not like the clown photo. He said he was scared. Lily said she was sorry too. She said she liked the photos. She said they were pretty.
+
+Mommy sighed. She said she understood. She said she did not like clowns either. She said they were terrible too. She said she would put the clown photo away. She said she would help Ben and Lily pick up the other photos. She said they were not in trouble. She said she loved them.
+
+Ben and Lily hugged mommy. They said they loved her too. They said they were sorry again. They helped mommy clean up the living room. They put the photos back on the shelf. They did not touch the clown photo. They played with Spot instead. They were happy.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and look for bugs. Lily had a red bucket and Tom had a blue shovel. They were very happy.
+
+"Look, Lily, I found a worm!" Tom said, holding up his shovel. "It is long and slimy. Do you want to touch it?"
+
+Lily shook her head. She did not like worms. They made her feel icky. She liked butterflies and flowers. She saw a yellow butterfly on a pink flower. She wanted to catch it.
+
+She put down her bucket and ran after the butterfly. She did not see the hose that was lying on the grass. She tripped over it and fell. She felt something wet and cold on her face. She looked up and saw water spraying from the hose. She screamed.
+
+Tom heard Lily scream and ran to help her. He saw her lying on the ground, wet and scared. He turned off the hose and helped her get up. He hugged her and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I did not mean to make you wet. Are you okay?"
+
+Lily nodded. She was still wet, but she was not hurt. She understood that Tom did not do it on purpose. She hugged him back and said, "It's okay, Tom. You are a good friend. But next time, be more alert. Watch where you put the hose."
+Lily likes to print pictures with her crayons. She prints flowers, stars, and animals. She prints a big sun with a smiley face. She is very proud of her sun.
+
+She wants to show her sun to Mommy and Daddy. She runs to the kitchen with her picture. She sees the fridge. The fridge is cold and white. It has magnets on it. Lily likes the magnets. They are colorful and fun.
+
+Lily finds a magnet with a letter L. L is for Lily. She puts her picture on the fridge with the magnet. She thinks Mommy and Daddy will see it and be happy. She smiles and claps her hands.
+
+But then she sees another picture on the fridge. It is a picture of a dog. It is Max's picture. Max is Lily's brother. He is older than Lily. He likes to print dogs with his markers. He prints a lot of dogs.
+
+Lily thinks Max's picture is not as good as her picture. She thinks her sun is prettier than his dog. She feels angry and jealous. She wants to take Max's picture off the fridge. She wants to put her picture in its place.
+
+But then she remembers what Mommy and Daddy always say. They say be honest and kind. They say do not take things that are not yours. They say share and care. Lily knows they are right. She knows she should not be mean to Max. She knows she should be happy for him.
+
+She decides to leave Max's picture on the fridge. She finds another magnet with a letter S. S is for sun. She puts her picture next to Max's picture with the magnet. She thinks they look nice together. She thinks Mommy and Daddy will like both pictures.
+
+She feels better and proud. She is honest and kind. She runs to find Max and give him a hug. She wants to tell him she likes his picture. She wants to play with him and his markers. She hopes he will like her picture too.
+Tom and Sam were friends. They liked to play with cars and trucks. They had many cars and trucks of different colors and sizes. They made noises and raced them on the floor.
+
+One day, Tom saw a new car in the toy store. It was red and shiny and had a button. When you pressed the button, the car made a loud sound and moved very fast. Tom wanted the car very much. He asked his mom to buy it for him, but she said no. She said he had enough cars and trucks already.
+
+Tom was sad and angry. He thought of a plan. He went to Sam's house and asked to play with his cars and trucks. Sam was kind and said yes. He shared his toys with Tom. Tom looked for the red car. He saw it on the shelf. He waited for Sam to look away. Then he grabbed the red car and put it in his pocket. He said he had to go home and ran away.
+
+Sam did not notice the red car was gone. He kept playing with his other cars and trucks. He was happy and had fun. He did not know Tom had taken his car.
+
+The next day, Tom played with the red car in his room. He pressed the button and made the car move very fast. He was happy and proud. He thought he had gained a great car. He did not think of Sam.
+
+But then something bad happened. The car hit the wall and broke. The button came off and the sound stopped. The car did not move anymore. Tom was sad and angry. He tried to fix the car, but he could not. He threw the car on the floor and cried.
+
+He wished he had not taken the car from Sam. He wished he had been kind like Sam. He wished he had not lost the motion and the sound of the car. He wished he had not lost his friend.
+Sara and Tom went to the circus with their mom and dad. They saw many animals and people doing tricks. They liked the big elephants and the fast horses. They also liked the funny clowns who made them laugh.
+
+One of the clowns came to Sara and Tom and asked them if they wanted to join him in the ring. He had a big red nose and a colorful hat. He said he would teach them how to juggle and make funny faces.
+
+Sara and Tom looked at their mom and dad. They wanted to go with the clown, but they did not know if they were allowed. Their mom and dad smiled and nodded. They said they could go with the clown, but they had to be careful and listen to him.
+
+Sara and Tom were very happy. They followed the clown to the ring. He gave them each three balls and showed them how to throw them in the air and catch them. He also taught them how to make funny noises and twist their mouths. The crowd cheered and clapped for them. Sara and Tom felt like stars.
+
+They thanked the clown for letting them join him. He hugged them and gave them each a balloon. He said they were very good and funny. He said he hoped to see them again. Sara and Tom waved goodbye to the clown and ran back to their mom and dad. They told them how much fun they had with the clown. Their mom and dad were proud of them and said they did a great job. They all enjoyed the rest of the circus.
+Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with cars. They have many cars, big and small, red and blue, fast and slow. They make races with their cars on the floor.
+
+One day, Tom finds a new car in his room. It is shiny and black. It has a key in it. Tom thinks it is a real car. He wants to unlock it and drive it. He shows it to Sam.
+
+Sam looks at the car. He sees that it is fake. It is not a real car. It is a toy car. It cannot drive. It only makes noises. Sam tells Tom that it is fake. He says they can play with their other cars.
+
+Tom does not believe Sam. He thinks Sam is jealous. He wants to unlock the car and prove him wrong. He turns the key. The car makes a loud noise. It starts to move. Tom is happy. He thinks he can drive the car.
+
+But the car is not safe. It has no brakes. It has no steering. It only goes straight. It goes very fast. It has too much speed. It crashes into the wall. It breaks into pieces. Tom is sad. He cries.
+
+Sam feels sorry for Tom. He hugs him. He says he is sorry. He says they can share his cars. He says they are still friends. Tom smiles. He says thank you. He says he is sorry too. He says he learned his lesson. He says they can play with their other cars. They hug again. They are happy. They play with their cars. The end.
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play together. One day, they found a big box in the garage. It had a lock on it, but no key.
+
+"Let's open it!" Tom said. "Maybe there is something fun inside."
+
+"But how?" Lily asked. "We need a key."
+
+Tom looked around and saw a fork on a table. He had an idea. He took the fork and tried to use it as a key. He pushed and twisted the fork in the lock, but nothing happened.
+
+"It's not working!" Tom said. "This lock is too hard."
+
+Lily saw a hammer on the floor. She had another idea. She took the hammer and hit the lock with it. The lock broke and the box opened.
+
+"Wow!" Lily said. "Look what's inside!"
+
+Tom and Lily saw a lot of shiny things in the box. There were coins, jewels, watches, and rings. They sparkled in the light.
+
+"We are rich!" Tom said. "We can buy anything we want!"
+
+They started to take out the shiny things and put them on. Tom wore a watch and a ring. Lily wore a necklace and a bracelet. They felt very happy.
+
+But then they heard a loud voice.
+
+"Hey, what are you doing with my stuff?" It was their dad. He had come back from work and saw them in the garage. He was angry.
+
+Tom and Lily were scared. They dropped the shiny things and ran to their mom.
+
+"Sorry, dad!" they said. "We just wanted to play!"
+
+Dad sighed and shook his head. He picked up the shiny things and put them back in the box. He locked it again and put it away.
+
+"Those are not toys," he said. "They are very valuable. I collect them as a hobby. You can't touch them without my permission."
+
+Tom and Lily felt sorry. They did not know that the box was dad's. They hugged him and said they were sorry again.
+
+"It's okay," dad said. "I forgive you. But next time, ask me before you open anything. And don't use a fork or a hammer as a key. You could hurt yourself or damage the things."
+
+Tom and Lily nodded. They learned their lesson. They decided to play with their own toys instead. They were not rich, but they were happy.
+Lily loved to sing. She sang in the morning, she sang at noon, she sang at night. She sang to her toys, she sang to her mom, she sang to her dad. She sang happy songs, she sang sad songs, she sang silly songs.
+
+One day, Lily's mom made spaghetti for dinner. Lily liked spaghetti. It was long and red and yummy. She sang a song about spaghetti as she ate. "Spaghetti, spaghetti, I love you so much. Spaghetti, spaghetti, you are so fun to touch."
+
+Lily's dad smiled and said, "You have a beautiful voice, Lily. Do you want to share your song with someone else?" He pointed to the window. Outside, there was a man with a guitar. He looked cold and hungry. He was playing music for some coins.
+
+Lily nodded and said, "Yes, I want to share my song. And my spaghetti too." She took her plate and ran to the door. She opened it and called to the man. "Hello, mister. Do you want to hear my song? And have some spaghetti?"
+
+The man looked surprised and happy. He said, "Yes, please. That would be very nice of you." He came closer and listened to Lily's song. He clapped and said, "That was a wonderful song, Lily. You are very talented. And this spaghetti looks delicious. Thank you for being so generous."
+
+Lily smiled and said, "You're welcome, mister. I like to sing and share. Do you want to sing with me?" She gave him a fork and some spaghetti. They sat on the porch and sang together. They sang about spaghetti, they sang about music, they sang about friendship.
+Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play pretend. One day, they decided to play shop in their kitchen. Lily was the shopkeeper and Ben was the customer.
+
+"Hello, sir. What do you want to buy today?" Lily asked.
+
+"I want to buy a dishwasher," Ben said.
+
+"A dishwasher? Why do you want a dishwasher?" Lily wondered.
+
+"Because I don't like to wash dishes by hand. It is boring and hard," Ben explained.
+
+"Well, you are in luck. I have a very good dishwasher for sale. It is normal and clean and fast. It can wash all your dishes in no time," Lily said.
+
+"Really? How much is it?" Ben asked.
+
+"It is only five coins. But you have to give me real coins, not pretend ones," Lily said.
+
+"Okay, deal. Here are five coins. Can I have the dishwasher now?" Ben said.
+
+"Sure. Here you go. Thank you for buying from Lily's shop. Have a nice day," Lily said.
+
+Lily gave Ben a big cardboard box that had "dishwasher" written on it. Ben was very happy. He took the box to his room and pretended to wash his dishes with the dishwasher. Lily smiled and counted her coins. She liked to play shop. It was fun and easy.
+Lily was a spoiled girl who always wanted more toys. She did not like to share with her brother Max or her friends. One day, she saw a big envelope on the table. It had her name on it and a picture of a slide. She thought it was a gift for her.
+
+She opened the envelope and found a card from her grandma. It said, "Happy birthday, Lily! I hope you enjoy this slide. It is at the park near your house. You can go there with Max and have fun. Love, Grandma."
+
+Lily was angry. She did not want a slide at the park. She wanted a slide in her backyard. She threw the card on the floor and started to cry.
+
+Max saw what she did and picked up the card. He read it and smiled. He liked slides and he liked the park. He said, "Thank you, Grandma! This is a nice gift. Can we go to the park now, Mom?"
+
+Mom nodded and said, "Yes, we can. But first, Lily needs to say sorry for being rude. Grandma was very kind to send us this slide. We should be grateful and happy."
+
+Lily did not want to say sorry. She did not want to go to the park. She did not want to share the slide. She crossed her arms and pouted.
+
+Mom sighed and said, "Lily, you are being very spoiled. You need to learn to appreciate what you have and to be nice to others. If you don't say sorry and go to the park, you will have no dessert tonight."
+
+Lily did not like that. She loved dessert. She looked at the card and the envelope. She looked at Max and Mom. She thought for a moment. Then she said, "Sorry, Grandma. Sorry, Mom. Sorry, Max. Can we go to the park now?"
+
+Mom smiled and said, "Yes, we can. Come on, let's go. Maybe you will make some new friends at the slide."
+
+Lily nodded and followed them. She hoped the slide would be fun. She hoped she would not be spoiled anymore.
+Tom and Lily were friends. They liked to play with toys. One day, they saw a big blue case in the park. They wanted to see what was inside.
+
+"Let's open it!" Tom said.
+
+"Maybe we need a plan," Lily said. "What if someone is looking for it?"
+
+Tom thought for a moment. He said, "We can hide behind that tree and wait. If no one comes, we can open it. If someone comes, we can run away."
+
+Lily agreed. They hid behind the tree and watched the case. They waited and waited. No one came.
+
+"OK, let's go!" Tom said. He ran to the case and opened it.
+
+Lily followed him. She looked inside the case. She saw something shiny and round. It looked like a big coin.
+
+"Wow, what is this?" Lily asked.
+
+Tom picked it up. He said, "I don't know, but it looks cool. Maybe it's a treasure!"
+
+He smiled and put it in his pocket.
+
+Suddenly, they heard a loud noise. It sounded like a siren. They saw a police car coming to the park. They saw a man running after the car. He was shouting and pointing at them.
+
+"Hey, stop! That's mine! That's a bomb!"
+
+Tom and Lily were scared. They dropped the case and tried to run away. But it was too late. The bomb exploded. The park was on fire. Tom and Lily were gone.
+Lily and Sam were playing in the garden. They liked to pretend they were explorers, looking for treasure and adventure. They had a big box that they used as a boat, and some sticks that they used as oars.
+
+"Look, Sam, I see a temple!" Lily said, pointing to a pile of rocks and dirt. "Maybe there is gold inside!"
+
+"Let's go and see!" Sam said, jumping out of the box. He helped Lily out and they ran to the rocks. They started to dig and move the rocks, hoping to find a secret door.
+
+But as they dug, they heard a loud noise. It was a growl, like a big angry animal. They looked up and saw a dog, with black fur and sharp teeth. The dog was guarding the rocks. It did not like that Lily and Sam were stirring its home.
+
+"Rrrr, woof, woof!" The dog barked, running towards them.
+
+"Ah, run, Lily, run!" Sam shouted, grabbing Lily's hand. They dropped their sticks and ran back to their box. They climbed inside and closed the lid.
+
+"Are you okay, Lily?" Sam asked, holding Lily close.
+
+"Yes, I'm fine, Sam. That was scary!" Lily said, shivering.
+
+"Don't worry, Lily. The dog can't get us here. We are safe." Sam said, stroking Lily's hair.
+
+They hugged each other and waited for the dog to go away. They decided that they did not want to explore the temple anymore. They just wanted to play in their box.
+Anna liked to paint. She had many colors and brushes. She painted things on paper and on the wall. She was happy when she painted.
+
+One day, Anna saw a big thing in the park. It was white and round. It looked like a snowman, but it was not cold. Anna wanted to paint it. She took her colors and brushes and ran to the park.
+
+She painted the thing with red and blue and green. She made a face and a hat and a scarf. She thought it was funny. She laughed and clapped.
+
+But then, a man came. He looked angry. He said, "What did you do to my thing? This is not a snowman. This is a sculpture. I made it for a contest. You ruined it!"
+
+Anna was scared. She wanted to run away. But she remembered what her mom said. She said, "Be honest. If you do something wrong, say sorry and try to fix it."
+
+Anna said, "I'm sorry, sir. I didn't know it was your thing. I thought it was a snowman. I like to paint. I wanted to make it pretty."
+
+The man looked at Anna. He saw that she was honest. He said, "I understand. You like to paint. But you can't paint other people's things without asking. That is not nice. You have to respect their work."
+
+Anna said, "I'm sorry, sir. I won't do it again. Can I help you fix it?"
+
+The man said, "Thank you, Anna. That is very kind of you. Come, I'll show you how to clean it."
+
+Anna and the man worked together. They cleaned the thing. They made it white again. The man said, "You are a good girl, Anna. You learned your lesson. Maybe one day, you can be a painter. But remember, only paint your own things, or ask permission first."
+
+Anna said, "Yes, sir. I will remember. Thank you for teaching me."
+
+They smiled and hugged. Anna went home. She told her mom what happened. Her mom was proud of her. She said, "You did the right thing, Anna. You were honest and helpful. That is very important. I love you."
+
+Anna said, "I love you too, mom. Can I paint something for you?"
+
+Her mom said, "Of course, Anna. You can paint anything you want. As long as it is your own thing."
+Ben liked to play baseball with his dad. They had a big ball and a big stick. They went to the park and threw the ball and hit the ball. Ben was happy and had fun.
+
+But one day, Ben did not want to play baseball. He wanted to watch TV. He said to his dad, "I am tired. I want to watch TV." His dad said, "No, Ben. TV is not good for you. You need to play and exercise. Come on, let's go to the park and play baseball."
+
+Ben was angry and said, "No, no, no!" He did not listen to his dad. He stayed on the couch and watched TV. He watched TV for a long time. He did not move. He did not talk. He did not smile. He just watched TV.
+
+After a while, Ben felt bored. He did not like the TV anymore. He felt sleepy. He yawned. He yawned again and again. He wanted to play baseball. He wanted to have fun. He wanted to be with his dad.
+
+He got up from the couch and ran to his dad. He said, "Dad, I am sorry. I was wrong. I want to play baseball with you. Can we go to the park and play baseball?" His dad smiled and said, "Of course, Ben. I am glad you changed your mind. Let's go to the park and play baseball."
+
+Ben and his dad went to the park and played baseball. They threw the ball and hit the ball. Ben was happy and had fun. He learned a lesson. He learned that TV is not better than playing. He learned that listening to his dad is good. He learned that playing baseball with his dad is the best.
+Lila and Ben are friends. They like to play outside. One day, they go to the park. They see a big kite in the sky. It is red and yellow and blue.
+
+"Wow, look at the kite!" Lila says. "It is so high and pretty!"
+
+"Who has the kite?" Ben asks. "Can we play with it?"
+
+They run to the kite. They see a man with a string. He is holding the kite.
+
+"Hello, sir," Lila says. "Can we speak to you?"
+
+"Hello, kids," the man says. "Do you like my kite?"
+
+"Yes, we do!" Ben says. "It is very nice. How do you make it fly?"
+
+The man smiles. He says, "I use the wind. The wind is the air that moves. It pushes the kite up and down and left and right. Do you feel the wind?"
+
+Lila and Ben nod. They feel the wind on their faces and hair. It is cool and soft.
+
+"Can we try your kite?" Lila asks. "Please?"
+
+The man says, "Sure, you can. But be careful. The kite is strong. You have to hold the string tight. And you have to watch the wind. If the wind is too strong or too weak, the kite will fall."
+
+Lila and Ben say, "Thank you, sir. We will be careful."
+
+The man gives them the string. They hold it together. They feel the kite pull and tug. They watch the kite dance in the sky. They laugh and shout. They have fun with the kite and the wind.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big slide. Lily wants to go on the slide, but Ben is afraid.
+
+"Come on, Ben, let's go on the slide. It is fun!" Lily says.
+
+"I don't know, Lily. It is too high. I am scared," Ben says.
+
+"Don't be scared, Ben. I have an idea. We can go together. I will hold your hand," Lily says.
+
+"Will you? Do you think it is safe?" Ben says.
+
+"Yes, I think so. Look, there are other kids on the slide. They are happy. And see, there is a teacher. She will permit us to go on the slide. She will watch us," Lily says.
+
+Ben looks at the slide, the kids, and the teacher. He feels a little less afraid. He trusts Lily. He nods his head.
+
+"Okay, Lily. Let's go on the slide. But you have to hold my hand," Ben says.
+
+"Of course, Ben. I will hold your hand. Come on, let's go!" Lily says.
+
+They walk to the slide. Lily holds Ben's hand. They climb the steps. They sit on the slide. They look down. Ben feels anxious. He squeezes Lily's hand. Lily smiles at him.
+
+"Ready, Ben? One, two, three, go!" Lily says.
+
+They slide down. They feel the wind in their hair. They hear the kids cheer. They laugh. They reach the bottom. They are happy.
+
+"Wow, Lily, that was fun! Thank you for holding my hand. You are a good friend," Ben says.
+
+"You are welcome, Ben. You are a good friend, too. You are brave. Do you want to go again?" Lily says.
+
+"Yes, Lily, I want to go again. Let's go!" Ben says.
+
+They run to the slide. They go on the slide again. And again. And again. They have a lot of fun. They are not scared anymore. They are proud of themselves. They are friends.
+Lily and Tom were brother and sister. They liked to play in the park with their ball. One day, they saw a big dog in the park. The dog was black and hairy and had sharp teeth. The dog ran after their ball and took it in his mouth.
+
+Lily and Tom were scared of the dog. They wanted their ball back. They ran after the dog and shouted at him. The dog growled and barked at them. He did not want to give the ball back. He ran away with the ball.
+
+Lily and Tom followed the dog. They did not see where they were going. They crossed the street without looking. A car was coming fast. The car honked and braked. But it was too late. The car hit Lily and Tom. They fell on the ground and did not move.
+
+The dog saw what happened. He felt sorry for Lily and Tom. He dropped the ball and ran to them. He licked their faces and whined. He tried to wake them up. But they did not wake up. They were gone.
+
+The car driver got out of the car. He was very sad and sorry. He called for help. He said he did not see Lily and Tom. He said they should have been careful. He said they should have settled for another ball. He said they should have stayed under the mild sun and not chased the dog.
+
+The moral of the story is: Be careful when you play. Do not run after things that are not yours. Do not cross the street without looking. Sometimes it is better to settle for what you have than to risk what you do not. Stay safe under the mild sun and enjoy your play.
+Lily and Tom like to play on the track. The track is big and has many lines. They run and jump and laugh. Sometimes they see big cars on the track. The cars are loud and fast. Lily and Tom are not afraid of the cars. They are brave.
+
+One day, Lily and Tom see a new car on the track. The car is red and shiny. It has a big number on the side. Lily and Tom want to see the car up close. They run to the car and touch it. The car is smooth and warm.
+
+"Wow, this car is cool!" Tom says.
+
+"Yes, it is!" Lily says. "Can we go inside?"
+
+Tom looks around. He does not see anyone. He opens the door of the car and gets in. He invites Lily to join him.
+
+"Come on, Lily, let's pretend we are drivers!" Tom says.
+
+Lily thinks for a moment. She knows they are not supposed to go inside the car. But she wants to have fun with Tom. She is brave. She gets in the car too.
+
+Tom and Lily sit on the seats. They see many buttons and levers. They touch them and make noises.
+
+"Vroom, vroom!" Tom says.
+
+"Beep, beep!" Lily says.
+
+They giggle and smile. They do not hear the footsteps behind them.
+
+"Hey, what are you doing in my car?" a voice says.
+
+Tom and Lily turn around. They see a man. The man is big and angry. He has a hat and a suit. He is the owner of the car.
+
+Tom and Lily are scared. They try to get out of the car. But the man is faster. He grabs them and pulls them out. He yells at them and shakes them.
+
+"How dare you touch my car!" the man says. "You are bad kids! You could have broken my car! You could have hurt yourselves!"
+
+Tom and Lily cry. They are sorry. They did not mean to make the man mad. They did not know the car was his.
+
+The man does not listen. He is still angry. He kicks Tom and Lily. He kicks them hard. He kicks them off the track.
+
+Tom and Lily fall on the ground. They are hurt. They are sad. They are not brave anymore.
+
+The end.
+Lily and Tom were hungry. They wanted to eat pizza. Mom said she would make pizza for them. She put the pizza in the oven. She told Lily and Tom to wait.
+
+Lily and Tom waited. They waited a long time. They looked at the oven. The oven was slow. The pizza was not ready. Lily and Tom were bored. They wanted to play.
+
+They saw a ball. They picked up the ball. They threw the ball to each other. They had fun. They did not see the lamp. The ball hit the lamp. The lamp fell. It broke. It made a loud noise.
+
+Mom heard the noise. She ran to the living room. She saw the lamp. She saw the ball. She saw Lily and Tom. She was angry. She yelled at them.
+
+"Lily! Tom! What did you do? You broke the lamp! You were not careful! You have to say sorry!"
+
+Lily and Tom were scared. They did not mean to break the lamp. They said sorry to Mom. They hugged her. They said they loved her.
+
+Mom was still angry. But she loved Lily and Tom. She hugged them back. She said she loved them too. She said they had to be more careful. She said they had to help her clean up.
+
+They went to the kitchen. They smelled the pizza. The oven was not slow anymore. The pizza was ready. Mom took it out. She cut it. She gave Lily and Tom a slice. They ate the pizza. It was yummy. They were happy. They thanked Mom. Mom smiled. She said they were welcome. She said they were good kids. She said they could play again. But not with the ball.
+Lily and Tom were playing with their new puppy, Spot. Spot was very small and fluffy, and liked to run and jump and lick their faces. Lily and Tom loved Spot very much.
+
+One day, they decided to serve Spot a special treat. They went to the kitchen and found some cheese and crackers. They put them on a big plate and carried it to the living room. The plate was very heavy, and Lily and Tom had to hold it with both hands.
+
+"Look, Spot, we have something yummy for you!" Lily said, putting the plate on the floor.
+
+Spot wagged his tail and ran to the plate. He sniffed the cheese and crackers and licked them. He liked them a lot. He ate them very fast, and then looked at Lily and Tom with his big eyes.
+
+"Thank you, Lily and Tom, you are very nice!" Spot said, in his puppy voice.
+
+Lily and Tom smiled and hugged Spot. They were very happy to have such a good puppy. They played with him some more, and then gave him some water and a toy. Spot was very happy, too. He loved Lily and Tom very much.
+Lily liked to play with her dolls. She had a big house for them, with many rooms and furniture. She also had a tea set, with cups, plates and a pot. She liked to pretend that her dolls were having tea parties and invite her friends to join her.
+
+One day, she found a new mug in the kitchen. It was blue and had a picture of a cat on it. Lily thought it was very pretty and wanted to use it for her tea party. She took it to her room and filled it with water. She put it on the table next to the pot and the cups.
+
+She called her friend Anna to come over and play. Anna came and saw the mug. She said, "Wow, that's a nice mug. Where did you get it?"
+
+Lily said, "I found it in the kitchen. It's mine now. Do you want some tea?"
+
+Anna said, "Yes, please." She reached for the mug, but Lily stopped her.
+
+"No, that's my mug. You can have a cup," Lily said.
+
+Anna said, "But I like the mug. It has a cat on it. Can I have it for a little while?"
+
+Lily said, "No, it's mine. You can't have it."
+
+They started to argue and tug on the mug. They pulled and pulled, until the mug slipped from their hands and fell on the floor. It broke into many pieces and the water spilled everywhere.
+
+Lily and Anna gasped. They looked at the broken mug and felt very sad. They also felt very uncomfortable, because they knew they had done something bad.
+
+They heard Lily's mom coming up the stairs. They were afraid of what she would say. They wished they could shrink and hide under the bed. They wished they had shared the mug and played nicely. They learned a lesson that day.
+Tim and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big hill with a path going up. They wanted to see what was on top of the hill.
+
+"Let's go, let's go!" Tim said. He ran to the path and started to climb. Lily followed him. She was a little scared. The path was steep and rocky. She did not like the dark trees on both sides.
+
+"Tim, wait for me!" Lily said. She tried to catch up with him. But Tim was too fast. He wanted to be the first to reach the top. He did not look back.
+
+Lily was alone on the path. She heard a loud roar. She turned around and saw a big bear. The bear was angry and hungry. It had big teeth and claws. It wanted to eat Lily.
+
+"Help, help!" Lily screamed. She ran back down the path. But the bear was faster. It chased her and caught her. It bit her and hurt her. Lily cried and cried.
+
+Tim heard Lily's scream. He stopped and looked back. He saw the bear and Lily. He was scared and sorry. He wanted to help Lily. But it was too late. The bear had killed Lily.
+
+Tim ran away from the hill. He wished he had waited for Lily. He wished he had not gone to the path. He wished he had not seen the bear. He was sad and alone. He had lost his friend.
+Lily was sick. She had a fever and a sore throat. She did not want to play or eat. She only wanted to sleep. Her mom was worried. She called the doctor to come and see Lily.
+
+The doctor came to Lily's house. He had a bag with many things inside. He smiled at Lily and said, "Hello, Lily. I am here to help you feel better. Can I check your fever?" He took out a thermometer from his bag. It was a small stick with a red line. He put it in Lily's mouth and waited.
+
+Lily did not like the thermometer. It was cold and hard. She wanted to spit it out. But she remembered that her mom said the doctor was clever. He knew how to make sick people well. She decided to be brave and keep the thermometer in her mouth.
+
+The doctor looked at the thermometer and nodded. He said, "You have a high fever, Lily. You need some medicine and some rest. I will give you a spoon of medicine and a sticker. The medicine will make your fever go down. The sticker will make you happy. It has a picture of a unicorn on it. Do you like unicorns?"
+
+Lily nodded. She liked unicorns. They were pretty and magical. She opened her mouth and took the medicine. It was bitter and yucky. She made a face. But she swallowed it anyway. She hoped it would work. The doctor gave her a sticker and put it on her shirt. It was shiny and colorful. She smiled. She thanked the doctor and said, "You are clever and kind. You made me feel better. I like you."
+
+The doctor smiled back and said, "You are welcome, Lily. You are clever and brave. You did not cry or fuss. You listened to me and took the medicine. You will feel better soon. I like you too." He packed his bag and said goodbye to Lily and her mom. He left the house.
+
+Lily felt sleepy. She hugged her mom and said, "I love you, mom. You are clever and kind too. You called the doctor and took care of me. You are the best mom ever." She closed her eyes and fell asleep.
+
+Her mom kissed her forehead and said, "I love you too, Lily. You are clever and brave too. You did not complain or whine. You cooperated with the doctor and took the medicine. You are the best daughter ever." She tucked her in and watched her sleep.
+
+The moral value of the story is: Be brave and trust the people who want to help you. They are clever and kind. They will make you feel better.
+Lily was sick and had to stay in bed. She did not like being sick. She wanted to play with her toys and run outside. But Mom said she had to rest and take a pill to feel better. Lily did not want to take the pill. She said it was big and yucky and made her mouth dry.
+
+Mom tried to be patient and gentle. She said, "Lily, you have to take the pill. It will help you get well soon. It is not so bad. You can have some juice or water after. Please, Lily, be a good girl and take the pill."
+
+But Lily was stubborn. She shook her head and hid under the covers. She said, "No, no, no! I don't want to take the pill! Go away, Mom! Leave me alone!"
+
+Mom was sad and worried. She did not know what to do. She did not want to force Lily to take the pill, but she also did not want Lily to stay sick. She decided to call Dad and ask for his help.
+
+Dad came home from work and went to Lily's room. He saw Lily still under the covers and Mom sitting on the chair. He said, "Hello, my sweetie. How are you feeling today?" He lifted the covers and smiled at Lily.
+
+Lily was happy to see Dad. She said, "Hi, Dad. I'm feeling a little better. But Mom wants me to take a pill and I don't want to."
+
+Dad nodded and said, "I understand, Lily. Pills are not fun. But they are good for you. They can make you strong and healthy again. Do you want to be strong and healthy again?"
+
+Lily thought for a moment. She did want to be strong and healthy again. She wanted to play with her toys and run outside. She said, "Yes, Dad. I want to be strong and healthy again."
+
+Dad said, "That's great, Lily. Then you have to take the pill. It is not so hard. I will show you how. Watch me." He took a pill from Mom's hand and put it in his mouth. He swallowed it and said, "See? It is done. It was not so bad. Now it is your turn."
+
+Lily looked at the pill in Mom's hand. She was still scared, but she trusted Dad. She said, "OK, Dad. I will try." She took the pill from Mom's hand and put it in her mouth. She swallowed it and made a face. She said, "Ew, it is yucky. But I did it. I took the pill."
+
+Dad and Mom clapped and cheered. They said, "Good job, Lily! We are so proud of you! You are a brave and smart girl. Now you can have some juice or water and rest some more. You will feel better soon."
+
+Lily smiled and hugged Dad and Mom. She said, "Thank you, Dad and Mom. I love you. You are the best." She drank some juice and lay down on the bed. She felt a little better already. She closed her eyes and fell asleep.
+Lily and Ben were going to visit their grandma in the town. They had to prepare their bags with clothes, toys and snacks. Lily was very impatient. She wanted to go now.
+
+"Mom, can we go now?" she asked.
+
+"Not yet, sweetie. We have to wait for dad. He is still at work," mom said.
+
+Lily sighed. She looked at Ben. He was playing with his cars on the floor. He did not seem to care.
+
+"Ben, don't you want to go to grandma's?" she asked.
+
+"Sure, I do. But I like my cars too," he said.
+
+Lily rolled her eyes. She did not like cars. She liked dolls and books. She went to her room and picked up her favorite doll. She hugged it and whispered, "Don't worry, we will go soon."
+
+After a while, dad came home. He kissed mom and hugged Lily and Ben.
+
+"Are you ready to go, kids?" he asked.
+
+"Yes, yes, yes!" Lily shouted.
+
+"Me too, me too, me too!" Ben echoed.
+
+They grabbed their bags and ran to the car. Mom and dad followed them. They buckled their seat belts and drove away.
+
+Lily and Ben were very excited. They looked out the window and saw the trees, the fields and the cows. They sang songs and played games. They could not wait to see grandma.
+
+Soon, they arrived at the town. They saw the shops, the houses and the park. They recognized grandma's street. They saw her waving at the door.
+
+"Grandma, grandma, grandma!" Lily and Ben yelled.
+
+They jumped out of the car and ran to her. She hugged them and kissed them.
+
+"Hello, my darlings. I'm so happy to see you. Come in, come in. I have prepared some cookies and milk for you," she said.
+
+Lily and Ben smiled. They loved grandma's cookies and milk. They followed her into the house. They were happy. They had prepared well for their trip. They had a lot of fun.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play together. Sometimes they play with cars, sometimes they play with dolls, sometimes they play with blocks. They have a lot of fun.
+
+One day, they hear a loud noise outside. They run to the window and see a big truck. The truck has a long hose and a big tank. The truck stops near their house. The twins are curious.
+
+"What is that?" Anna asks.
+
+"I don't know," Ben says. "Let's go see."
+
+They put on their shoes and jackets and go outside. They see a man in a yellow suit. He is holding the hose. He smiles at them.
+
+"Hello, kids," he says. "Do you know what I'm doing?"
+
+"No," Anna says. "What are you doing?"
+
+"I'm cleaning the street," he says. "I have water in the tank and I spray it with the hose. It's like a big shower for the street."
+
+"Wow," Ben says. "That's amazing. Can we watch?"
+
+"Sure," he says. "But stay back. The water is very strong and wet."
+
+The twins nod and watch. They see the water come out of the hose and wash away the dirt and leaves. The street looks shiny and clean. The twins clap and cheer.
+
+"That's so cool," Anna says.
+
+"Yeah," Ben says. "You're amazing, mister."
+
+The man laughs and thanks them. He finishes his job and waves goodbye. He drives away in his truck. The twins go back inside. They are happy. They have seen something new and amazing. They tell their mom and dad about it. They want to play with the hose too. Maybe they can have a shower for their toys. They think that would be fun.
+Lily wanted to wear her new dress to the park. It was pink and had flowers on it. She liked how it looked on her. But she had a problem. She could not close the zipper on the back. It was too hard for her little fingers. She tried and tried, but it did not move.
+
+She started to panic. She did not want to ask Mom for help. She wanted to do it by herself. She wanted to be a big girl. She felt tears in her eyes. She did not know what to do.
+
+She heard a knock on the door. It was Ben, her big brother. He came to see if she was ready. He saw her sitting on the bed, with the zipper open.
+
+"What's wrong, Lily?" he asked.
+
+"I can't close the zipper. It's too hard. I want to wear this dress. It's my favorite. But I can't do it. I'm not a big girl," she said, sobbing.
+
+Ben smiled. He knew how to help. He was a big boy. He had closed many zippers before.
+
+"Don't worry, Lily. I can help you. You are a big girl. You just need a little help sometimes. That's okay. Everyone does. Here, let me see the zipper."
+
+He took the zipper and pulled it up. It closed easily. He turned Lily around and showed her the mirror.
+
+"See? You did it. You look beautiful in your dress. Now you can go to the park and have fun. Come on, let's go."
+
+Lily hugged Ben. She felt happy. She thanked him for his help. She put on her shoes and grabbed her hat. She ran to the door with Ben. She was ready to go to the park. She was a big girl.
+Tom and Mia like to play with their toys. They have many toys, but their favorite is a big figure of a dinosaur. The dinosaur is green and has sharp teeth and a long tail. Tom and Mia pretend that the dinosaur is their friend and they go on adventures with him.
+
+One day, they are playing in the garden with the dinosaur. They see a big hole in the fence. They wonder what is on the other side of the fence. They ask the dinosaur if he knows.
+
+"Dinosaur, do you know what is on the other side of the fence?" Tom questions.
+
+"Roar!" the dinosaur answers.
+
+"That is not a good answer, dinosaur. You have to use words, not noises," Mia says.
+
+"Roar!" the dinosaur repeats.
+
+Tom and Mia are not happy with the dinosaur. They think he is not serious. They want to know what is on the other side of the fence. They decide to go and see for themselves. They leave the dinosaur behind and crawl through the hole.
+
+On the other side of the fence, they see a big dog. The dog is brown and has floppy ears and a wagging tail. The dog sees Tom and Mia and runs towards them. He barks and licks their faces. Tom and Mia are scared and surprised. They wish they had the dinosaur with them.
+
+"Dinosaur, help us!" they cry.
+
+The dinosaur hears them and comes to the hole. He sees the dog and roars. The dog sees the dinosaur and runs away. Tom and Mia are happy and relieved. They hug the dinosaur and thank him.
+
+"Dinosaur, you are a good friend. You saved us from the dog," Tom says.
+
+"Roar!" the dinosaur says.
+
+"Maybe you are serious after all, dinosaur. But you still have to use words, not noises," Mia says.
+
+"Roar!" the dinosaur says again.
+
+Tom and Mia laugh and play with the dinosaur. They forget about the hole and the dog. They are happy in the garden.
+Anna and Ben are playing with their toys in the garden. They have a lot of fun with their cars, dolls, and blocks. They make noises and stories with their toys.
+
+But then, they see a man they do not know. He is wearing a big hat and a coat. He looks around and sees their toys. He walks to the garden and takes some of their toys. He puts them in a bag. He is a thief!
+
+Anna and Ben are scared and angry. They want their toys back. They decide to stop the thief. They run after him and shout, "Stop! Give us our toys! You are a thief!"
+
+The thief hears them and runs faster. He tries to get away. But Anna and Ben are faster. They catch up with him and pull his coat. The bag falls and the toys spill out.
+
+The thief is scared and sorry. He says, "I am sorry. I was wrong. Please forgive me. Here are your toys." He gives them their toys and runs away.
+
+Anna and Ben are happy and proud. They hug their toys and each other. They go back to the garden and play some more. They are safe and brave. They are friends.
+Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a lot of snow falling from the sky. They put on their coats, hats, and boots and ran out to the yard. They made a big snowman with a carrot nose, a scarf, and a hat. They gave him a name: Bob.
+
+"Bob is our new friend," Anna said. "He is very brave and strong."
+
+"Yes, he is," Ben agreed. "He can protect us from anything."
+
+They played with Bob for a long time, throwing snowballs, making snow angels, and sliding on the ice. They had a lot of fun.
+
+But then, a big dog came running towards them. He was black and furry, and he barked loudly. He looked angry and hungry. He saw Bob and ran towards him.
+
+"Go away, dog!" Anna shouted. "Leave Bob alone!"
+
+But the dog did not listen. He jumped on Bob and bit his carrot nose. He tore his scarf and hat. He knocked him down and made him fall apart.
+
+Anna and Ben were very sad. They saw Bob in pieces on the ground. They started to weep.
+
+"Bob, Bob, we are sorry," they cried. "We love you, Bob."
+
+The dog saw them crying and felt sorry. He stopped barking and wagged his tail. He licked their faces and tried to make them happy.
+
+"Maybe he is not so bad," Ben said. "Maybe he just wanted to play."
+
+"Maybe," Anna said. "But he hurt Bob. He was our friend."
+
+They looked at Bob and wept some more. They wished they could make him again. They wished the snow would not melt. They wished they could be brave like Bob.
+Lisa loved to look at the calendar on the wall. It had pictures of animals and flowers for each month. She liked to count the days until her birthday, which was in June. She wanted to have a big party with cake and balloons and her friends.
+
+One day, she saw her mom remove the calendar from the wall. She was very curious and asked, "Mom, why are you taking the calendar away?"
+
+Mom smiled and said, "I have a surprise for you, Lisa. Come with me to the living room."
+
+Lisa followed her mom and saw a big box wrapped in colorful paper on the couch. Mom said, "This is your early birthday present, Lisa. You can open it now."
+
+Lisa was very excited and tore the paper off the box. Inside, she found a new calendar, but not like the one on the wall. This one was a special calendar that you could write and draw on with markers. It had stickers and magnets and a dry-erase board. It also had a note that said, "Happy birthday, Lisa! I hope you enjoy your new calendar. You can use it to plan your party and mark your special days. Love, Mom."
+
+Lisa was very happy and hugged her mom. She said, "Thank you, Mom! This is the best present ever! I love you!"
+
+Mom hugged her back and said, "You're welcome, Lisa. I love you too. You are my cheerful girl."
+One day, Tom and Lily wanted to play outside. But it was raining and the ground was wet. They put on their boots and coats and hats. They asked their mom if they could go out.
+
+"OK, but be careful. Don't go too far and don't get too wet," mom said.
+
+Tom and Lily ran outside. They saw a big puddle. They wanted to jump in it. But then they saw a band of ducks. The ducks were swimming and quacking in the puddle. They looked happy.
+
+"Look, Lily, ducks!" Tom said.
+
+"Can we play with them?" Lily asked.
+
+Tom nodded. They ran towards the puddle. But the ducks saw them and got scared. They flew away, making loud noises.
+
+"Hey, come back!" Tom shouted.
+
+"Sorry, ducks!" Lily said.
+
+Tom and Lily felt sad. They wanted to play with the ducks. They looked at the puddle. It was empty and boring.
+
+"Maybe we can prevent the ducks from leaving next time," Tom said.
+
+"How?" Lily asked.
+
+Tom thought for a moment. He had an idea.
+
+"Maybe we can make them a gift. Something they like. Something that floats," he said.
+
+"Like what?" Lily asked.
+
+Tom looked around. He saw some leaves and sticks and stones. He picked them up and started to make something.
+
+"Like this," he said. He showed Lily a boat. He had used a leaf for the sail, a stick for the mast, and a stone for the anchor.
+
+"Wow, that's cool!" Lily said.
+
+"Let's see if it works," Tom said.
+
+They put the boat in the puddle. It floated and moved with the wind. They watched it with a smile.
+
+"Maybe the ducks will like it too," Lily said.
+
+"Maybe they will come back and play with us," Tom said.
+
+They hoped the ducks would see their boat and return. They waited and waited. They did not notice that the rain had stopped and the sun had come out. They were too busy looking at their boat and the puddle. They did not see their mom coming out.
+
+"Tom, Lily, time to go in. You've been out for too long. You must be wet and cold," mom said.
+
+Tom and Lily turned around. They saw their mom. They ran to her and hugged her.
+
+"Mom, look, we made a boat for the ducks!" Tom said.
+
+"We wanted to play with them, but they flew away. We wanted to prevent them from leaving," Lily said.
+
+Mom looked at the boat and the puddle. She smiled.
+
+"That's very nice of you. You are very creative and kind. But the ducks are wild animals. They are not used to people. They might be afraid or shy. You can't force them to play with you. You have to respect them and their space," mom said.
+
+Tom and Lily nodded. They understood.
+
+"Can we leave the boat for them? Maybe they will like it and come back later," Tom said.
+
+"OK, but only if you promise to come in now and get dry and warm. And maybe later we can read a book about ducks and learn more about them," mom said.
+
+Tom and Lily agreed. They said goodbye to their boat and the puddle. They followed their mom inside. They hoped the ducks would find their boat and enjoy it. They hoped they would see them again another day. They were happy.
+Tom and Mia liked to play with blocks. They had many blocks of different colors and shapes. They could make a stack of blocks as high as they wanted. Sometimes they made a tower, sometimes a bridge, sometimes a house.
+
+One day, they found a big jug of water in the garden. They wondered what would happen if they poured water on their blocks. They thought it would be fun to see the water splash and drip. They did not think it would be foolish to wet their blocks.
+
+They took the jug and went to their stack of blocks. They poured some water on the top block. The water ran down the sides and made the blocks wet. They laughed and poured more water. The water made the blocks slippery and some of them fell down. They poured even more water. The stack of blocks collapsed and the water spilled everywhere.
+
+Tom and Mia stopped laughing. They looked at their mess. They felt sad and sorry. They had ruined their blocks and their game. They wished they had not poured water on their blocks. They realized they had been foolish.
+
+They ran to their mom and told her what they had done. Their mom was not angry, but she was not happy either. She told them to clean up their mess and dry their blocks. She told them to be careful and not pour water on things that should not be wet. She told them to use their blocks for building, not for pouring. She told them to be smart, not foolish.
+Sam and Mia liked to play basketball in the park. They had a big ball that bounced high and a hoop that was high up. They took turns to throw the ball and try to make it go in the hoop.
+
+One day, a new boy came to the park. His name was Ben and he had a small ball that was red and blue. He saw Sam and Mia playing and said, "Can I play with you?"
+
+Sam and Mia said yes, because they were nice and liked to make new friends. But Ben was not nice. He was bossy. He said, "My ball is better than yours. It is faster and lighter. And I am better than you. I can throw it higher and farther. Let me measure how high and far I can throw it."
+
+He took his ball and threw it as hard as he could. But he threw it too hard and too high. The ball went over the hoop and over the fence and into the street. A big car came and ran over the ball. The ball popped and made a loud noise.
+
+Ben was sad and angry. He ran to get his ball, but it was flat and broken. He cried and said, "My ball, my ball, it's ruined!"
+
+Sam and Mia felt sorry for him, but they also felt mad. They said, "You were mean and bossy. You did not share or play nice. You only cared about your ball and yourself. That's why you lost your ball. You should be more kind and humble."
+
+Ben realized they were right. He said, "I'm sorry, I was wrong. Can you forgive me? Can I play with you and your ball?"
+
+Sam and Mia nodded and smiled. They said, "Yes, you can. But you have to follow the rules and be respectful. And you have to say please and thank you."
+
+Ben agreed and said, "Thank you, thank you, you are good friends. Please, can I have a turn to throw your ball?"
+
+They gave him a turn and he threw their ball. It went in the hoop and they all cheered. They played together and had fun. Ben learned to measure his words and actions, not his ball. He learned to be a good friend, not a bossy one.
+Tom and Sue are squirrels. They like to find nuts and sort them in their nest. They sort them by size, color and shape. They have big nuts, small nuts, brown nuts, green nuts and round nuts.
+
+One day, they find a new nut. It is very big and shiny. It looks like a ball of gold. Tom and Sue are very happy. They think it is the best nut ever. They take it to their nest and put it in the middle of their pile of nuts.
+
+"Wow, this nut is so pretty!" Tom says.
+
+"Yes, and it is so heavy!" Sue says. "I wonder what it tastes like."
+
+They decide to try the nut. They bite it with their teeth. But the nut is very hard. It does not crack. It does not taste good. It tastes like metal.
+
+"Ouch, this nut hurts my teeth!" Tom says.
+
+"Me too!" Sue says. "This is not a nut. This is something else."
+
+They hear a loud noise. It is a beep. The nut starts to flash. It has a red light on it. Tom and Sue are scared. They do not know what the nut is. They think it is dangerous.
+
+"Run, run, run!" Tom says.
+
+They run out of their nest. They leave the nut behind. They hide behind a tree. They see the nut explode. It makes a big boom. It sends nuts and leaves flying everywhere.
+
+Tom and Sue are very scared. They hug each other. They are glad they are safe.
+
+"That was a bad nut!" Tom says.
+
+"Yes, a very bad nut!" Sue says. "Let's never take a nut like that again."
+
+They go back to their nest. They sort their nuts again. They throw away the metal pieces. They only keep the good nuts. They are happy. They have learned a lesson.
+Tom and Lily were twins who loved to play basketball. They had a big orange ball and a hoop in their backyard. Every day, they would practice throwing the ball into the hoop and running around.
+
+One day, Tom was feeling very enthusiastic. He wanted to play basketball all day and make many shots. He said to Lily, "Come on, Lily, let's play basketball! It's so much fun!"
+
+But Lily was feeling tired. She had played a lot yesterday and wanted to relax. She said to Tom, "No, Tom, I don't want to play basketball today. I want to rest and read a book. Maybe we can play later."
+
+Tom was not happy. He wanted to play with Lily and he did not like books. He said to Lily, "But Lily, basketball is better than books! Books are boring and quiet. Basketball is exciting and loud. You are missing all the fun!"
+
+Lily was not happy either. She wanted to relax and enjoy her book. She liked books and she did not like noise. She said to Tom, "But Tom, books are better than basketball! Books are interesting and peaceful. Basketball is tiring and noisy. You are bothering me!"
+
+Tom and Lily started to argue. They raised their voices and said mean things to each other. They did not listen to each other and they did not share their feelings.
+
+Their mom heard them and came outside. She saw them fighting and she was sad. She said to them, "Tom and Lily, why are you arguing? You are twins and you should love each other. You can have different hobbies and still be friends. You don't have to play the same thing all the time. You can take turns and respect each other's choices."
+
+Tom and Lily stopped arguing and looked at their mom. They realized that she was right. They felt sorry for being rude and selfish. They said to their mom, "We're sorry, mom. We love each other and we love you. We will try to be more understanding and kind."
+
+Their mom smiled and hugged them. She said to them, "That's good, my darlings. I'm proud of you. Now, why don't you play something together that you both like? How about a board game or a puzzle?"
+
+Tom and Lily agreed. They put away their basketball and their book and went inside. They found a board game and a puzzle and played together. They had fun and they relaxed. They were happy and they were twins.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the kitchen. They see a big bowl and a spoon. They want to make a cake.
+
+"What do we need to make a cake?" Anna asks.
+
+"We need flour, eggs, milk, sugar and butter," Ben says.
+
+They look for the things they need. They find them in the cupboard and the fridge. They put them in the bowl.
+
+"Now we need to mix them," Anna says.
+
+They take turns to stir the bowl with the spoon. They mix and mix and mix. They have fun.
+
+But they forget one thing. They forget to ask Mom for help. Mom is in the living room. She does not know what they are doing.
+
+They hear a beep. It is the oven. They think it is ready for the cake.
+
+"Let's put the cake in the oven," Ben says.
+
+They carry the bowl to the oven. It is heavy and hot. They are not careful. They spill some of the mix on the floor. They spill some on their heads. They get messy.
+
+Mom hears the noise. She comes to the kitchen. She sees the mess. She sees the mix on their heads. She is not happy.
+
+"What are you doing?" Mom asks.
+
+"We are making a cake," Anna and Ben say.
+
+"A cake? You can't make a cake without me. You could get hurt. You could burn yourself. You could make a big mess. You need to ask me first," Mom says.
+
+She takes the bowl from them. She turns off the oven. She cleans the floor. She cleans their heads. She is not angry. She is glad they are safe.
+
+"I'm sorry, Mom," Anna and Ben say.
+
+"It's okay. I know you wanted to make a cake. But you need to learn how to do it right. You need to follow a recipe. You need to measure the things. You need to use the right tools. You need to be careful. And you need to ask me for help. I can teach you how to make a cake. A tasty cake. A cake we can all enjoy," Mom says.
+
+"Can we make a cake with you, Mom?" Anna and Ben ask.
+
+"Of course. But first, let's have some lunch. You must be hungry after all that mixing," Mom says.
+
+They go to the table. They have some soup and bread. They thank Mom for the lunch. They are happy. They learn a lesson. They learn to ask for help. They learn to be careful. They learn to make a cake. A tasty cake. A cake with Mom.
+Sara and Ben are playing with a big ball of yarn. They like to make shapes and patterns with it on the floor. Sara has a bright idea.
+
+"Let's pull the yarn and see how long it is!" she says to Ben.
+
+"OK!" Ben agrees. He takes one end of the yarn and Sara takes the other. They start to pull and pull and pull.
+
+The yarn gets longer and longer. It goes across the room and under the table and over the chair. Sara and Ben giggle and pull harder.
+
+But they do not see that the yarn is also wrapping around the lamp and the vase and the books. They are making a big mess and a dangerous trap.
+
+"Stop!" Mom shouts from the door. She sees the yarn everywhere and the things that might fall and break. She is angry and scared.
+
+"Sara and Ben, what are you doing? You could get hurt or break something. This is not a game. This is dangerous!"
+
+Sara and Ben stop pulling. They look around and see the trouble they have made. They feel sorry and ashamed.
+
+"We are sorry, Mom," they say together. "We just wanted to see how long the yarn was. We did not mean to make a mess or a trap."
+
+Mom sighs and shakes her head. She is glad they are not hurt, but she is not happy.
+
+"Come here, both of you," she says. "We need to talk and clean up. And no more pulling yarn, OK?"
+
+Sara and Ben nod and walk to Mom. They hug her and say they love her. They hope she will forgive them. They have learned their lesson. Pulling yarn can be dangerous.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat, a scarf and a carrot nose. They looked for something to make his eyes and mouth.
+
+"Look, Lily, I found some coal!" Ben said. He ran to the snowman with two black pieces in his hands.
+
+"Good, Ben! Coal is perfect for eyes!" Lily said. She helped him put the coal on the snowman's face. They smiled at their snowman.
+
+But then, they heard a loud noise. It was a big truck coming down the road. The truck was very fast and noisy. It made the snow fly everywhere.
+
+"Oh no, the truck is coming!" Lily said. She grabbed Ben's hand and pulled him away from the snowman. They ran to the sidewalk and watched the truck pass by.
+
+They looked at their snowman again. But he was not the same. The truck had knocked off his hat, his scarf and his carrot nose. And his coal eyes and mouth were gone too.
+
+"Where is his face?" Ben asked. He was sad and confused.
+
+"I don't know, Ben. Maybe the truck took it away." Lily said. She was sad too.
+
+They realized that their snowman was gone. They had worked hard to make him, but he was gone in a second. They felt very bad.
+
+They hugged each other and cried. They wished they could make their snowman again. But they had no more coal, no more hat, no more scarf, no more carrot. They had nothing.
+Sara and Ben were twins who liked to try new things. They were adventurous and curious. One day, they went to the park with their mom and saw a big ice cream truck. They ran to the truck and looked at the menu.
+
+"Can we have ice cream, mom?" Sara asked.
+
+"Sure, but only one scoop each," mom said.
+
+Sara and Ben looked at the different flavors. There were many colors and names. Sara saw one that was green and said "mint". She liked mint. It was fresh and cool.
+
+"Can I have mint, please?" Sara said to the ice cream man.
+
+"Of course, here you go," the ice cream man said and gave her a cone with a green scoop.
+
+Ben was not sure what to choose. He wanted something different. He saw one that was brown and said "coffee". He had never tried coffee. He wondered what it tasted like.
+
+"Can I have coffee, please?" Ben said to the ice cream man.
+
+"Are you sure?" the ice cream man asked. "Coffee is very strong and bitter. It is not for kids. I do not recommend it."
+
+Ben did not care. He wanted to be adventurous. He nodded and took the cone with a brown scoop.
+
+Sara and Ben licked their ice cream and walked to a bench. Sara smiled and enjoyed her mint. It was sweet and refreshing. She liked it a lot.
+
+Ben made a face and spit out his coffee. It was bitter and nasty. He did not like it at all.
+
+"Yuck, this is awful!" Ben said. "Why did you give me this?"
+
+"I told you I do not recommend it," the ice cream man said. "It is not for kids. You should have listened to me."
+
+Ben felt sorry and wished he had chosen something else. He looked at Sara's mint and wanted to try it.
+
+"Can I have some of your mint, Sara?" Ben asked.
+
+Sara shook her head and hugged her cone. She did not want to share.
+
+"No, this is mine," Sara said. "You should have chosen mint. It is the best."
+
+Ben felt sad and angry. He threw his cone in the trash and crossed his arms.
+
+"I do not like ice cream anymore," Ben said.
+
+Mom saw what happened and came to them. She hugged Ben and gave him a tissue.
+
+"I'm sorry, Ben. Sometimes being adventurous does not work out. But you can always try something new another day. How about we go to the bakery and get some cookies instead?" mom said.
+
+Ben nodded and smiled. He liked cookies. He hoped they had mint cookies. He wanted to try mint. He learned his lesson. Next time, he would listen to the ice cream man. He would recommend mint to everyone.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They gave him a carrot nose and two rocks for eyes. They were very happy.
+
+But then Lily felt something cold on her hand. She looked and saw that her mitten was gone. She started to cry. "Where is my mitten?" she asked. "I don't know," Ben said. "Maybe it fell off when we were making the snowman."
+
+They looked around the snowman, but they could not find the mitten. Lily was very sad. She wanted to go home. Ben tried to cheer her up. "Don't worry, Lily. We can find your mitten. Maybe it is in the snow. Let's dig and see."
+
+They dug and dug in the snow. They found some sticks, some leaves, and some acorns, but no mitten. Lily was about to give up, when she saw something orange sticking out of the snowman's nose. She realized that it was her mitten. She pulled it out and put it back on her hand. She was very happy.
+
+"Look, Ben, I found my mitten. It was in the snowman's nose. He was keeping it warm for me." She said. "That's funny," Ben said. "He must have liked your mitten. I'm glad you found it, Lily. You are fine now." They hugged and laughed. They decided to leave the mitten in the snowman's nose as a thank you. They waved goodbye to the snowman and went home.
+Ben and Lily were playing with their toys in the backyard. They had a lot of cars, trucks, and trains to make fun noises and move around. But Ben wanted to do something different. He had a creative idea.
+
+"Look, Lily, I have a crane!" he said, holding up a long stick with a string and a hook at the end. "I can grab things with it and lift them up!"
+
+"Wow, that's cool, Ben!" Lily said, admiring his crane. "Can I try it too?"
+
+"Sure, Lily, you can try it. But be careful, don't grab anything that is too big or too heavy. Or you might break the crane or hurt yourself," Ben said, handing her the stick.
+
+Lily nodded and looked around for something to grab. She saw a small ball, a flower, and a teddy bear. She decided to grab the teddy bear, because it was soft and cute. She swung the hook over the teddy bear and lowered it down. She caught the teddy bear by its ear and lifted it up with a smile.
+
+"Yay, I did it, Ben! I grabbed the teddy bear with the crane!" she said, proud of herself.
+
+"Good job, Lily! You are very good at using the crane!" Ben said, clapping his hands. "Do you want to grab something else?"
+
+Lily nodded and looked for another thing to grab. She saw a big rock, a bucket, and a cat. She decided to grab the cat, because it was furry and warm. She swung the hook over the cat and lowered it down. But the cat did not like it. It hissed and scratched at the hook and ran away.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow, Ben! The cat is angry! It hurt the crane and me!" she said, dropping the stick and rubbing her hand.
+
+"Oh, no, Lily! I'm sorry, the cat did not want to be grabbed. It was scared and mad. You should not grab animals with the crane. They are not toys. They are alive and have feelings," Ben said, hugging her and checking her hand.
+
+"I'm sorry, Ben. I did not know. I just wanted to play with the cat. I like cats. But I guess they don't like cranes," Lily said, sniffling.
+
+"It's okay, Lily. You did not mean to hurt the cat. You were just curious and creative. But next time, ask the cat first if it wants to play. Or better yet, grab something else with the crane. Something that is not alive and does not mind being lifted up," Ben said, wiping her tears.
+
+"Okay, Ben. I will do that. Thank you for being my friend and teaching me how to use the crane. Can we play some more?" Lily said, smiling.
+
+"Of course, Lily. We can play some more. But let's be gentle and careful with the crane and everything else. And let's have fun!" Ben said, picking up the stick and the teddy bear.
+
+"Yay, let's have fun!" Lily said, grabbing the ball and the flower.
+
+They played with the crane and their toys for a long time, and they had a lot of fun. They were creative and happy. And they did not bother the cat anymore.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big hill with green grass. They wanted to roll down the hill.
+
+"Let's roll down the hill!" Tom said.
+
+"OK!" Lily said.
+
+They ran to the top of the hill and lay down on the grass. They put their arms to their sides and started to roll. They rolled faster and faster. They felt the wind on their faces and the grass on their bodies. They laughed and shouted.
+
+When they reached the bottom of the hill, they stopped rolling. They looked around and saw a small pond. They saw a frog sitting on a rock. The frog was green and wet. It had big eyes and a wide mouth.
+
+"Look, a frog!" Lily said.
+
+"Can we catch it?" Tom said.
+
+They got up and walked to the pond. They tried to be quiet and slow. They reached out their hands to the frog. But the frog was fast and smart. It saw them and jumped into the water. It made a splash and a croak.
+
+"Ribbit!" the frog said.
+
+"Aw, it got away!" Tom said.
+
+"Maybe we can find another one," Lily said.
+
+They looked around the pond. They saw more frogs. Some were big, some were small. Some were brown, some were green. They tried to catch them, but they were all too fast and smart. They jumped into the water or hid under the rocks.
+
+"Ribbit, ribbit!" the frogs said.
+
+Tom and Lily gave up. They decided to play something else. They looked at the hill. They wanted to roll down the hill again.
+
+"Let's roll down the hill again!" Tom said.
+
+"OK!" Lily said.
+
+They ran to the top of the hill and lay down on the grass. They put their arms to their sides and started to roll. They rolled faster and faster. They felt the wind on their faces and the grass on their bodies. They laughed and shouted.
+
+They had fun. They were happy. They were fit.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big tree with many birds. They wanted to see the birds up close.
+
+"Let's climb the tree," Tom said. "It looks easy."
+
+"OK," Lily said. "But be careful."
+
+They started to climb the tree. They held on to the branches and the leaves. They saw many colors and shapes. They saw a red bird, a blue bird, a yellow bird, and a white bird.
+
+"Look, Tom, a dove!" Lily said. She pointed to the white bird. "It is so pretty."
+
+Tom looked at the dove. He wanted to touch it. He reached out his hand. But the dove was scared. It flew away.
+
+"Tom, no!" Lily said. "You scared the dove."
+
+Tom was sad. He liked the dove. He wanted to say sorry. He looked for the dove. But he could not see it.
+
+"Let's go down," Lily said. "We should finish playing. Mom will be here soon."
+
+"OK," Tom said. He followed Lily. They climbed down the tree. They were careful not to fall.
+
+They went back to the slide. They had fun. They forgot about the dove.
+
+But the dove did not forget. It came back. It landed on the tree. It looked at Tom and Lily. It saw that they were happy. It was not scared anymore. It cooed softly.
+
+Tom and Lily heard the dove. They looked up. They saw the dove. They smiled.
+
+"Hello, dove," Tom said. "I'm sorry I scared you."
+
+"Hello, dove," Lily said. "You are so pretty."
+
+The dove cooed again. It was happy. It liked Tom and Lily. It stayed on the tree. It watched them play. It was their friend.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big box near the slide. The box is open. They want to look inside.
+
+"Maybe there is a toy in the box," Anna says.
+
+"Or a cake," Ben says.
+
+They run to the box and peek inside. They see a small dog. The dog is brown and white. It has a red collar. The dog looks at them and wags its tail.
+
+"Hello, dog," Anna says. "What is your name?"
+
+The dog barks. It sounds happy.
+
+"Can we pet you?" Ben asks.
+
+The dog nods. It licks Ben's hand.
+
+Anna and Ben smile. They pet the dog. The dog snuggles with them.
+
+They hear a voice. It is a man. He is looking for the dog.
+
+"Spot, where are you?" the man says.
+
+The dog hears the man. It jumps out of the box. It runs to the man.
+
+"Spot, there you are!" the man says. "I was so worried. You ran away from the car. I had to wait for you."
+
+The man hugs the dog. He sees Anna and Ben.
+
+"Thank you for finding my dog," the man says. "He is very friendly. Do you want to play with him?"
+
+Anna and Ben nod. They like the dog. They play with the dog and the man. They have fun in the park.
+Lily liked to play princess with her dolls. She had a big pink dress, a shiny crown, and a wand. She pretended to rule over her kingdom and have tea parties with her friends. But she did not like to share her toys with her brother, Ben.
+
+Ben liked to play with cars and trains. He had a lot of tracks, bridges, and tunnels. He pretended to drive fast and make loud noises. But he also liked to tease his sister and take her dolls.
+
+One day, Lily was having a tea party with her dolls in her room. She set up a table, some cups, and some cookies. She invited her dolls to sit down and enjoy the snacks. She said, "Hello, princesses. Welcome to my castle. I am the queen and you are my guests. Let's have some tea and cookies."
+
+But then, Ben came into her room. He saw the tea party and smiled. He had a plan. He said, "Hello, Lily. Can I play with you?"
+
+Lily frowned. She did not want Ben to play with her. She said, "No, Ben. This is a princess tea party. You can't play with us. Go away."
+
+Ben pretended to be sad. He said, "But I want to be a princess too. I have a dress and a crown and a wand. See?" He showed Lily his dress, which was a towel, his crown, which was a bowl, and his wand, which was a spoon. He said, "Please, Lily. Let me join your tea party. I will be nice."
+
+Lily looked at Ben. She saw his dress, his crown, and his wand. She thought they were silly and funny. She laughed. She said, "OK, Ben. You can play with us. But you have to follow my rules. I am the queen and you are my servant. You have to do what I say."
+
+Ben nodded. He said, "OK, Lily. I will do what you say. What do you want me to do?"
+
+Lily smiled. She had a plan too. She said, "First, you have to add more cookies to the table. Then, you have to pour the tea for me and my dolls. Then, you have to sing a song for us. And then, you have to give me your dress, your crown, and your wand."
+
+Ben did not like Lily's plan. He thought she was being mean and bossy. He said, "No, Lily. That's not fair. I don't want to do all that. I don't want to give you my dress, my crown, and my wand. They are mine."
+
+Lily said, "Too bad, Ben. You agreed to play with us. You have to do what I say. Or else, you can't be a princess."
+
+Ben said, "Fine, Lily. I will do what you say. But I have a surprise for you. You will see."
+
+Lily did not know what Ben's surprise was. She thought he was just trying to trick her. She said, "Whatever, Ben. Just do what I say. And hurry up. The tea is getting cold."
+
+Ben did what Lily said. He added more cookies to the table. He poured the tea for Lily and her dolls. He sang a song for them. But he did not give Lily his dress, his crown, and his wand. Instead, he threw them on the floor. He said, "There, Lily. I did what you said. Now, I have a surprise for you. Look!"
+
+Lily looked at the floor. She saw Ben's dress, his crown, and his wand. She did not care about them. She said, "So what, Ben? I don't want your dress, your crown, and your wand. They are silly and funny. I have my own dress, my own crown, and my own wand. They are better than yours."
+
+Ben said, "No, Lily. That's not the surprise. The surprise is this." He grabbed Lily's wand from her hand. He said, "This is the surprise. This is not a wand. This is a spoon. And this spoon has something on it. Something sticky and sweet. Something that you like. Something that I added to it. Do you know what it is?"
+
+Lily did not know what Ben was talking about. She said, "No, Ben. What is it?"
+
+Ben said, "It is honey, Lily. Honey from the kitchen. Honey that I put on the spoon. Honey that I am going to put on your face. Like this!" He smeared the honey on Lily's face. He said, "Ha ha ha! How do you like that, Lily? How do you like being a honey princess?"
+
+Lily felt the
+Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, they find a big box in the park. They open the box and see many things inside. There are balls, cars, dolls, and puzzles.
+
+"Wow, look at all these toys!" Tom says. "Let's play with them!"
+
+"Yes, let's!" Lily says. "I want the doll with the pink dress. She is so pretty!"
+
+They take out the toys and start to play. They have fun and share the toys. But then, Tom sees a puzzle with a picture of a lion. He likes lions. He wants the puzzle.
+
+"Can I have the puzzle, Lily?" Tom asks.
+
+"No, I want the puzzle too. It is mine!" Lily says. She holds the puzzle tight.
+
+"But I saw it first. It is not fair!" Tom says. He tries to pull the puzzle from Lily.
+
+They both tug and pull. They are angry. They do not mind each other. They do not mind the toys. They only mind the puzzle.
+
+Suddenly, they hear a loud voice.
+
+"Hey, what are you doing with my toys?" The voice says.
+
+They look up and see a big boy. He is bigger than Tom and Lily. He is the owner of the box. He is angry too.
+
+"These are my toys. I left them here for a while. You have no right to take them. Give them back to me!" The big boy says.
+
+Tom and Lily are scared. They drop the puzzle and the other toys. They run away from the big boy. They do not say sorry. They do not say goodbye. They just run.
+
+They run back to their homes. They are sad. They do not have the puzzle. They do not have the toys. They do not have fun. They do not have each other.
+
+They wish they had minded each other. They wish they had minded the toys. They wish they had minded the big boy. They wish they had minded their life.
+Lena liked to help her mom prepare food for dinner. She washed her hands and put on a pink apron. Mom gave her a big white cauliflower and a small knife. "Can you cut the cauliflower into small pieces, Lena?" Mom asked. "Yes, Mom, I can do that!" Lena said. She liked to use the knife, but she was careful not to hurt herself.
+
+While Lena was cutting the cauliflower, she heard a knock on the door. She ran to see who it was. It was Mr. Jones, their neighbor. He was a wealthy man who lived in a big house with a garden. He always wore a suit and a hat. He smiled at Lena and gave her a candy. "Hello, Lena, how are you today?" He said. "I'm fine, thank you, Mr. Jones. Do you want to come in?" Lena said. She liked Mr. Jones, he was very nice to her.
+
+Mr. Jones followed Lena into the kitchen, where Mom was cooking. He greeted Mom and said, "I'm sorry to bother you, but I have a favor to ask. I'm having some guests over for dinner tonight, and I forgot to buy some cauliflower. Do you have any extra that I can borrow?" Mom looked at the cauliflower that Lena had cut. She had enough for their own dinner, but she wanted to help Mr. Jones. She said, "Sure, Mr. Jones, you can have some of our cauliflower. Lena, can you give Mr. Jones half of the cauliflower you cut?" Lena nodded and put some of the cauliflower pieces in a bowl. She handed the bowl to Mr. Jones. He thanked her and said, "You are very kind, Lena. You are a good helper. Here, take another candy for your trouble." He gave Lena another candy and said goodbye to Mom and Lena. He left with the bowl of cauliflower.
+
+Lena and Mom finished preparing the food for dinner. They had chicken, rice, and cauliflower. Lena ate her cauliflower and said, "Mom, I like cauliflower. It is yummy." Mom smiled and said, "I'm glad you like it, Lena. You did a great job cutting it. And you were very generous to share it with Mr. Jones. He was very happy with your gift." Lena smiled and said, "You're welcome, Mom. I like to help you and Mr. Jones. And I like candy too." Mom hugged Lena and said, "I love you, Lena. You are a sweet and smart girl." Lena hugged Mom and said, "I love you too, Mom. You are the best mom ever." They enjoyed their dinner and had a good night.
+Tim and Kim are kids. They like to play with toys. They have many toys in their room. They have cars, dolls, balls, and blocks.
+
+One day, Tim and Kim want to play with the same car. It is a red car with big wheels. They both reach for the car at the same time.
+
+"Mine!" Tim says. He pulls the car to his chest.
+
+"No, mine!" Kim says. She pulls the car to her chest.
+
+They tug and tug on the car. The car is tight in their hands. They do not want to let go.
+
+"Stop!" Mom says. She comes into the room. She sees Tim and Kim fighting over the car. She is not happy.
+
+"Tim and Kim, you need to share. You have many toys. You can take turns with the car. Or you can play with something else. Fighting is not nice." Mom says.
+
+Tim and Kim look at Mom. They look at the car. They look at each other. They feel sorry.
+
+"Sorry, Tim." Kim says. She lets go of the car.
+
+"Sorry, Kim." Tim says. He lets go of the car.
+
+They hug each other. They are friends again.
+
+"Good kids." Mom says. She smiles. She gives them a kiss.
+
+Tim and Kim pick another toy. They play together. They have fun.
+Lily and Sam were drawing with crayons on a big paper. Lily liked to use many colors and make flowers and stars. Sam liked to use one color and make cars and trucks.
+
+"Look at my red car, Lily. It is very fast and loud," Sam said, showing his drawing.
+
+"That is nice, Sam. But I like my yellow flower more. It is very pretty and smells good," Lily said, showing her drawing.
+
+They kept drawing for a while, until Lily saw a new crayon in the box. It was orange and had a picture of a pepper on it.
+
+"Wow, what is this crayon, Sam? It looks different," Lily said, picking it up.
+
+"I don't know, Lily. Maybe it is a special crayon. Why don't you try it?" Sam said, curious.
+
+Lily decided to try the new crayon. She drew a circle on the paper and then colored it with the orange crayon. As soon as she touched the crayon to the paper, she felt a tingling sensation in her fingers. She looked at her hand and saw that it was turning orange too.
+
+"Ouch, ouch, ouch! This crayon is spicy, Sam! It hurts my hand!" Lily cried, dropping the crayon.
+
+Sam looked at Lily's hand and saw that it was orange too. He was scared and confused.
+
+"What happened, Lily? Why did the crayon change your hand?" Sam asked, worried.
+
+"I don't know, Sam. I think it is a magic crayon. Maybe it changes things to the color of the pepper. We have to change it back, Sam. I don't want to have an orange hand!" Lily said, sobbing.
+
+Sam thought for a moment. He remembered that his mom had a bottle of lotion in the bathroom. He thought that maybe the lotion could help Lily's hand.
+
+"Don't cry, Lily. I have an idea. Come with me to the bathroom. Maybe we can use some lotion to make your hand normal again," Sam said, taking Lily's hand.
+
+They ran to the bathroom and Sam found the bottle of lotion. He squeezed some lotion on Lily's hand and rubbed it gently. He hoped that the lotion would make the spicy crayon go away.
+
+Lily felt the lotion on her hand. It was cool and soothing. She looked at her hand and saw that it was turning back to its normal color. She smiled and hugged Sam.
+
+"Thank you, Sam. You are a good friend. The lotion worked. My hand is not spicy anymore," Lily said, happy.
+
+"You are welcome, Lily. I am glad your hand is better. Let's go back to our drawing. But let's not use the spicy crayon again. It is too dangerous," Sam said, smiling.
+
+They went back to their drawing and put the spicy crayon away. They decided to use only the normal crayons and make more flowers and cars. They had fun and forgot about the magic crayon.
+Ben and Mia are playing in the pool. They like to splash and swim and float. Ben has a red radio. He puts it on the edge of the pool. He turns it on and hears music.
+
+"Listen, Mia, this is my favorite song!" Ben says. He sings along with the radio.
+
+Mia smiles. She likes the song too. She swims closer to Ben. She has an idea.
+
+"Hey, Ben, do you want to play a game?" Mia asks.
+
+"What game?" Ben asks.
+
+"Let's see who can dive deeper in the pool. The winner gets to choose the next song on the radio," Mia says.
+
+"OK, that sounds fun. You go first," Ben says.
+
+Mia nods. She takes a big breath and dives into the water. She kicks her legs and moves her arms. She tries to touch the bottom of the pool. She sees a shiny coin. She grabs it and swims back up.
+
+"Look, Ben, I found a coin!" Mia says. She shows him the coin.
+
+"Wow, that's cool. How deep did you go?" Ben asks.
+
+"I don't know. Very deep. Can you beat me?" Mia asks.
+
+Ben thinks. He wants to win the game. He wants to choose the next song. He also wants to find something in the water.
+
+"OK, I'll try. Watch me," Ben says.
+
+He takes a big breath and dives into the water. He kicks his legs and moves his arms. He tries to touch the bottom of the pool. He sees a blue ball. He reaches for it and swims back up.
+
+"Look, Mia, I found a ball!" Ben says. He shows her the ball.
+
+"Wow, that's cool. How deep did you go?" Mia asks.
+
+"I don't know. Very deep. Who won the game?" Ben asks.
+
+Mia thinks. She looks at the coin and the ball. She looks at Ben and the radio. She has an idea.
+
+"Let's say we both won. We both found something. We both dived deep. We both had fun. Let's share the radio and the songs," Mia says.
+
+Ben smiles. He likes Mia's idea. He likes to share with Mia. He likes to play with Mia.
+
+"OK, let's do that. You are a good friend, Mia," Ben says.
+
+Mia smiles. She likes Ben's words. She likes to be his friend. She likes to play with him.
+
+They hug and laugh. They turn on the radio and dance. They splash and swim and float. They have a good time in the pool.
+Sara and Ben like to play with their toys. They have many toys of different colors and shapes. Sara likes to number her toys. She puts them in groups of one, two, three, and so on. She says, "This is one bear, this is two cars, this is three dolls." Ben likes to waste his toys. He throws them around, breaks them, and loses them. He says, "Toys are boring, I want new ones."
+
+One day, Sara and Ben have to share a room. Sara is very organized. She puts her toys in a big box and labels it with her name. She says, "These are my toys, do not touch them." Ben is very messy. He dumps his toys on the floor and does not care about them. He says, "These are my toys, I can do what I want with them."
+
+Sara and Ben do not get along. They fight over the toys and the space. Sara says, "You are wasting your toys, you are wasting our room, you are wasting my time." Ben says, "You are numbering your toys, you are numbering our room, you are numbering my fun." They yell and push and cry.
+
+One night, Sara and Ben have a big fight. Sara is angry that Ben has broken one of her dolls. Ben is angry that Sara has taken one of his cars. They throw their toys at each other and make a lot of noise. Their mom and dad hear them and come to their room. They are very upset. They say, "You are not sharing, you are not caring, you are not behaving. You have to learn to respect each other and your toys. You have to learn to be organized and not waste. You have to learn to be quiet and not fight. Until you do, you will have no toys at all." They take away all their toys and put them in a big bag. They say, "You will get your toys back when you show us that you can be good." They leave the room and close the door.
+
+Sara and Ben are very sad. They have no toys to play with. They have no fun to have. They have no friends to talk to. They look at each other and feel sorry. They say, "We are sorry, we are sorry, we are sorry. We want our toys back, we want our fun back, we want our friends back. We will share, we will care, we will behave. We will be organized and not waste. We will be quiet and not fight. Please, please, please, give us our toys back." But it is too late. Their mom and dad do not hear them. They have to sleep in their empty room and wait for a new day. The end.
+Ben and Mia like to play at the beach. They have a big net and a small bucket. They want to catch some fish and crabs. They run to the water and look for the best spot.
+
+"Look, Ben, there is a big rock over there. Maybe there are some crabs hiding under it," Mia says.
+
+"Good idea, Mia. Let's go and check. You hold the net and I will lift the rock," Ben says.
+
+They run to the rock and Ben tries to lift it. It is very heavy, but he manages to move it a little bit. Mia holds the net open and waits.
+
+"Wow, look at that! There are three crabs and a starfish!" Ben says.
+
+"Quick, Ben, put them in the net before they run away!" Mia says.
+
+Ben and Mia scoop up the crabs and the starfish and put them in the net. They are very happy and proud. They run back to the sand and empty the net into the bucket. They look at their catch and smile.
+
+"Look, Mia, we did it! We caught some fish and crabs!" Ben says.
+
+"Yes, Ben, we did! They are so pretty and funny. Can we keep them?" Mia says.
+
+"No, Mia, we can't. They belong to the sea. We have to set them free," Ben says.
+
+"OK, Ben, you are right. But can we watch them for a little while?" Mia says.
+
+"Sure, Mia, we can. But then we have to say goodbye and let them go," Ben says.
+
+Ben and Mia watch the crabs and the starfish in the bucket. They see them move and touch them gently. They have fun and learn. But soon they see the sun is getting low and the sea is getting distant. They know it is time to go home.
+
+"OK, Mia, it is time to set them free. Are you ready?" Ben says.
+
+"Yes, Ben, I am ready. But I will miss them," Mia says.
+
+"Me too, Mia, me too. But they will be happier in the sea. Come on, let's go and say goodbye," Ben says.
+
+Ben and Mia take the bucket and the net and walk to the water. They pour the crabs and the starfish back into the sea. They wave and say goodbye. They see them swim and crawl away. They feel sad, but also happy.
+
+"Bye, bye, crabs and starfish. Thank you for playing with us. We hope to see you again," Ben and Mia say.
+
+They turn around and walk back to the sand. They see their mom and dad waiting for them. They run to them and hug them. They tell them about their adventure and show them the net. They are tired, but also excited.
+
+"Wow, Ben and Mia, you had a great day at the beach. You caught some fish and crabs. You are very brave and smart," mom and dad say.
+
+"Thank you, mom and dad. We had a lot of fun. But we also set them free. They are back in the sea," Ben and Mia say.
+
+"That's very good, Ben and Mia. You are very kind and respectful. We are very proud of you," mom and dad say.
+
+They pack up their things and get in the car. They drive away from the beach. They look at the sea and the sky. They see the sun setting and the stars shining. They feel happy and sleepy. They close their eyes and dream of the crabs and the starfish. They smile and snuggle. They are a happy family. The end.
+Lily loved to run. She ran every day with her dog, Spot. They ran in the park, in the yard, and in the street. Lily liked to run fast and feel the wind in her hair. Spot liked to run too, and he barked and wagged his tail.
+
+One day, Lily and Spot saw a big poster on a wall. It had a picture of a man with a guitar. The poster said he was famous. Lily did not know what famous meant, but she liked the man's smile. She asked her mom, who was walking with them, who he was.
+
+Mom said he was a singer. He sang songs that made people happy. He was famous because many people knew him and liked his songs. He was coming to their town to sing for them. Mom said she had tickets to see him.
+
+Lily was excited. She wanted to see the singer and hear his songs. She asked mom if Spot could come too. Mom said no, Spot had to stay home. He could not go to the concert. Lily was sad. She did not want to leave Spot alone.
+
+Mom said Spot would be fine. He had his toys, his food, and his water. He could watch TV or take a nap. He would not be lonely. Mom said Spot had a spirit. A spirit was something inside him that made him alive and happy. Lily had a spirit too, and so did mom. And so did the singer. Mom said the singer's spirit was very strong and bright. That was why he could make songs that made people happy.
+
+Lily thought about that. She wanted to see the singer's spirit. She wanted to feel his songs. She hugged Spot and told him she loved him. She said she would be back soon. She and mom went to the concert. Spot stayed home and watched TV. He heard the singer's songs on the TV. He liked them too. He wagged his tail and barked. He felt the singer's spirit. He felt Lily's spirit too. He knew she loved him. He was happy.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to swing and slide and run. They saw a big cage with a monkey inside. The monkey was brown and furry and had a long tail.
+
+"Look, a monkey!" Lily said. "He is so cute. Can we say hello?"
+
+Ben nodded. They walked to the cage and smiled at the monkey. The monkey looked at them and made a funny noise.
+
+"Hello, monkey!" Lily said. "What is your name?"
+
+The monkey did not answer. He reached out his hand and grabbed Lily's hat. He pulled it off her head and put it on his own. He looked very happy.
+
+"Hey, that's my hat!" Lily said. "Give it back, monkey!"
+
+Ben tried to help. He reached for the hat, but the monkey was too fast. He swung to the other side of the cage and made another funny noise.
+
+"Stop, monkey!" Ben said. "That's not nice. That's Lily's hat."
+
+The monkey did not listen. He liked the hat. It was pink and warm and had a flower on it. He thought he looked very pretty.
+
+Lily and Ben did not know what to do. They wanted the hat back, but the monkey was too strong and clever. They looked around for help.
+
+They saw a man with a uniform and a badge. He was the zookeeper. He took care of the animals.
+
+"Excuse me, sir," Lily said. "Can you help us? The monkey took my hat and won't give it back."
+
+The zookeeper looked at the cage. He saw the monkey with the hat. He frowned.
+
+"Oh, that's Bobo," he said. "He is a naughty monkey. He likes to take things that are not his. I'm sorry he took your hat, little girl."
+
+"Can you get it back, please?" Lily asked.
+
+The zookeeper nodded. He walked to the cage and opened a small door. He took out a banana and showed it to the monkey.
+
+"Bobo, Bobo," he said. "Do you want a banana? Give me the hat and I'll give you the banana."
+
+The monkey saw the banana. He liked bananas. They were yellow and sweet and soft. He thought for a moment. He looked at the hat and the banana. He made a decision.
+
+He took off the hat and threw it to the zookeeper. He grabbed the banana and peeled it. He ate it with a big smile.
+
+The zookeeper caught the hat and gave it back to Lily. He closed the door and locked it.
+
+"Here you go, little girl," he said. "I'm sorry for the trouble. Bobo is a good monkey, but he likes to play tricks. He won't bother you again."
+
+"Thank you, sir," Lily said. She put the hat back on her head. It was still warm and pink and had a flower on it. She was happy.
+
+Ben smiled too. He was glad Lily got her hat back. He did not like the monkey.
+
+"Let's go play somewhere else," he said. "I don't like Bobo. He is a mean monkey."
+
+Lily nodded. She agreed. She did not like Bobo either. He was a naughty monkey.
+
+They said goodbye to the zookeeper and walked away. They did not mention the monkey again. They had fun playing in the park. They liked to swing and slide and run.
+Sam and Mia were playing with blocks. They liked to make towers and houses with different shapes and colors. Sam had a red triangle and Mia had a blue square.
+
+"Look, I made a roof with my triangle!" Sam said, putting it on top of his tower.
+
+"That's nice, but I want a triangle too!" Mia said, reaching for Sam's roof.
+
+"No, don't remove it! It will fall!" Sam said, holding his tower.
+
+But Mia did not listen. She pulled the triangle and the tower crashed down. The blocks scattered everywhere.
+
+"Oops, sorry!" Mia said, looking at the mess.
+
+Sam was angry. He did not want to share his triangle. He did not want to play with Mia anymore. He picked up his triangle and ran away.
+
+Mia felt sad. She did not mean to ruin Sam's tower. She wanted to play with him and have fun. She followed him and saw him sitting under a tree.
+
+"Sam, please don't be mad at me. I just wanted a triangle too. Can we be friends again?" Mia said, holding out her blue square.
+
+Sam looked at Mia. He saw that she was sorry. He also felt hungry. He remembered that his mom had packed some sandwiches for them.
+
+"Okay, I forgive you. But you have to share your square with me. And let's eat our sandwiches. I'm hungry!" Sam said, giving Mia his triangle.
+
+Mia smiled. She was happy that Sam was not mad at her anymore. She took his triangle and gave him her square. They traded shapes and made new towers. Then they ate their sandwiches and shared their juice. They were friends again.
+Lily and Ben were bored. It was a gloomy day and they could not go outside to play. They looked at their toys, but they did not want to play with them. They looked at their books, but they did not want to read them. They looked at each other and sighed.
+
+"Mom, can we watch a movie?" Lily asked.
+
+Mom was busy in the kitchen. She was making soup for lunch. She heard Lily and Ben and smiled.
+
+"Sure, you can watch a movie. But only one, and then you have to do something else. What movie do you want to watch?" Mom said.
+
+Lily and Ben ran to the living room. They looked at the movies on the shelf. There were many movies, but they could not agree on one. Lily wanted to watch a movie about princesses and fairies. Ben wanted to watch a movie about cars and robots.
+
+"No, I don't want to watch that. That's for girls. It's boring." Ben said.
+
+"No, I don't want to watch that. That's for boys. It's noisy." Lily said.
+
+They argued and argued. They could not find a movie that they both liked. They were about to give up when they saw a movie that they had not seen before. It was a movie about animals and their adventures. It looked fun and colorful.
+
+"Hey, what about this one?" Lily said.
+
+"Let me see. Hmm, it looks okay. Maybe we can watch this one." Ben said.
+
+They took the movie and put it in the player. They sat on the couch and waited for the movie to start. They hoped it would be a good movie.
+
+"Mom, we found a movie. It's about animals. Can we watch it?" Lily shouted.
+
+"Okay, enjoy your movie. But don't forget to eat your soup later." Mom said.
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They snuggled on the couch and watched the movie. They laughed and gasped and clapped. They forgot about the gloomy day and their boredom. They were happy. They liked the movie. They were glad they mentioned it.
+Tom and Mia were twins who liked to play pretend. One day, they decided to be chefs and make a big soup in their toy kitchen. They put water, salt, carrots, potatoes, and noodles in a big pot. Then they took turns to stir the soup with a wooden spoon.
+
+"Stir, stir, stir, the soup is almost done!" Tom said.
+
+"Yum, yum, yum, I can't wait to taste it!" Mia said.
+
+They put two bowls and two spoons on the table and ladled some soup into each bowl. They were about to eat when they heard a strange noise.
+
+"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"
+
+They looked up and saw a white shape floating in the air. It had two big eyes, a long nose, and a wide mouth. It was a ghost!
+
+"Boo, boo, boo!" the ghost said.
+
+Tom and Mia were scared and dropped their spoons. They ran to their mom and dad, who were in the living room.
+
+"Mom, dad, there's a ghost in the kitchen!" they cried.
+
+"A ghost?" their mom and dad said. They got up and followed the twins to the kitchen.
+
+They saw the ghost hovering over the pot of soup. It looked hungry and curious.
+
+"Hello, ghost, who are you?" their dad asked.
+
+"I'm Gus, the ghost," the ghost said. "I live in the attic, but I smelled your soup and came down to see. It smells so good!"
+
+Tom and Mia's mom and dad smiled. They were not afraid of Gus, because they knew he was a friendly ghost. They had seen him before, when they moved into the old house. The house used to belong to a wealthy family, who had left many things behind, including Gus.
+
+"Would you like some soup, Gus?" their mom asked.
+
+"Yes, please, I would love some soup," Gus said.
+
+They gave Gus a bowl and a spoon, and he joined them at the table. Tom and Mia were still a bit nervous, but they decided to be polite and share their soup with Gus. They found out that Gus liked carrots, potatoes, and noodles, just like them. He also told them stories about the old house and the things he had seen.
+
+They ate and talked and laughed, and soon they became friends. Tom and Mia realized that Gus was not scary, but fun and kind. They invited him to play with them again, and he agreed.
+
+They finished their soup and cleaned up the kitchen. Then they hugged Gus and said goodbye. They went back to the living room with their mom and dad, feeling happy and full.
+
+They had made a new friend, and he was a ghost.
+Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play together. One day, Tom has a long dream. He dreams that he is a king and Lily is a queen. They live in a big castle with many toys and animals.
+
+When Tom wakes up, he is happy. He wants to tell Lily his dream. He calls her on the phone.
+
+"Hi, Lily. Do you want to play with me?" Tom says.
+
+"Yes, Tom. What do you want to play?" Lily says.
+
+"I want to play king and queen. I had a long dream about it. It was fun." Tom says.
+
+"Wow, that sounds nice. How do we play king and queen?" Lily says.
+
+"We can use blankets and pillows to make a castle. We can wear crowns and robes. We can have tea and cake. We can invite our teddy bears and dolls to join us." Tom says.
+
+"That sounds fun. I want to play king and queen with you. Can I come to your house?" Lily says.
+
+"Yes, you can. Come soon. I will invite you to my castle." Tom says.
+
+Tom and Lily hang up the phone. They are excited. They get ready to play king and queen. They have a lot of fun. They are happy. They are friends.
+Sam and Mia are playing in the park. They like to dig in the sand and make castles. They have a bucket and a shovel and some toys. They are having fun.
+
+But then, they see a big dog. The dog is black and brown and has a long tail. The dog is running fast and barking loud. Sam and Mia are scared. They drop their toys and run to their mom.
+
+The dog follows them. He is not mean, he is friendly. He wants to play. He jumps on their mom and licks her face. Their mom laughs and rubs his ears. She says he is a good dog.
+
+Sam and Mia are still scared. They hide behind their mom. They do not want to touch the dog. The dog sees their toys in the sand. He runs to the sand and digs a big pit. He finds their bucket and their shovel and their toys. He picks them up with his mouth and shakes them. He is happy.
+
+Sam and Mia watch the dog. They see he is not mean, he is playful. They feel brave. They go to the sand and call the dog. The dog comes to them and drops their toys. He wags his tail and licks their hands. Sam and Mia laugh and rub his fur. They say he is a nice dog.
+
+They play with the dog in the sand. They throw the toys and he fetches them. They make a new castle and he helps them. They are friends. They are alert. They do not want to miss any fun. They are having fun.
+Sara and Ben were twins who liked to wander in the garden. They saw many pretty flowers and bugs and birds. They also saw a big green plant with red and yellow balls on it.
+
+"What is that?" Sara asked.
+
+"That is pepper," Ben said. He had heard Mom say it before.
+
+"Can we eat it?" Sara wondered.
+
+"I don't know. Let's try," Ben said. He picked a red ball and bit it. He made a funny face and spit it out. "It is hot! It hurts my mouth!"
+
+Sara laughed. She picked a yellow ball and bit it. She also made a funny face and spit it out. "It is hot too! It hurts my tongue!"
+
+They ran to the hose and drank some water. They felt better.
+
+"Let's not eat pepper again," Sara said.
+
+"Let's not," Ben agreed.
+
+They wandered to another part of the garden and found some strawberries. They ate them and smiled. They were sweet and juicy and did not hurt their mouths. They liked strawberries better than pepper.
+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a big tire that they roll and push. It is fun.
+
+One day, a new boy comes to the park. His name is Sam. He sees Tom and Mia and their tire. He wants to play too. He says, "Can I push the tire with you?"
+
+Tom and Mia look at Sam. They do not know him. They do not want to share their tire. They say, "No, this is our tire. Go away."
+
+Sam feels sad. He is jealous of Tom and Mia. He thinks they are mean. He waits for them to look away. Then he runs to the tire and pushes it hard. He pushes it so hard that it rolls out of the park and into the street.
+
+Tom and Mia hear a loud noise. They turn around and see their tire. It is hit by a car. The tire is broken. It has a big hole. It cannot roll anymore.
+
+Tom and Mia cry. They are angry at Sam. They say, "You are a bad boy. You broke our tire. We hate you."
+
+Sam feels sorry. He did not mean to break the tire. He just wanted to play. He says, "I am sorry. I did not know the car was coming. I was just jealous. Can we be friends?"
+
+But Tom and Mia do not listen. They run away from Sam. They leave him alone in the park. Sam cries too. He has no friends. He has no tire. He has no fun.
+Tom and Lily were playing with their toys in the garden. They had a big box of blocks, cars, dolls and animals. They wanted to build a castle with the blocks, but they had to sort them first.
+
+"Let's sort the blocks by color," Tom said. "We can make the castle with the red and blue ones, and the other colors can be something else."
+
+"Okay," Lily agreed. "But where do we put the other toys?"
+
+Tom looked around and saw a dirty bucket near the fence. "We can put them in there for now," he said. "We can play with them later."
+
+They started to sort the blocks and put the other toys in the bucket. They were having fun and did not notice that the bucket had a hole in the bottom.
+
+Soon, they had enough blocks to start building the castle. They stacked them up and made walls, towers and a gate. They were very proud of their castle and wanted to show it to their mom.
+
+"Mom, mom, look at our castle!" they shouted and ran to the house.
+
+Mom came out and smiled. "Wow, that's a very nice castle," she said. "You did a great job, Tom and Lily."
+
+"Thank you, mom," they said. "We sorted the blocks by color and put the other toys in the bucket."
+
+Mom looked at the bucket and frowned. "Oh, dear," she said. "That bucket is dirty and has a hole in it. Do you know what that means?"
+
+Tom and Lily shook their heads.
+
+"It means that some of your toys are missing," mom said. "They fell out of the hole and are in the dirt."
+
+Tom and Lily gasped. They ran to the bucket and looked inside. They saw that some of their cars, dolls and animals were gone.
+
+"Oh, no," they said. "We have to find them."
+
+They dropped the bucket and started to look for their toys in the garden. They hoped they were not too dirty or lost. They learned a lesson: they should not use a dirty bucket with a hole to sort their toys.
+Lily and Sam liked to play with paper and crayons. They liked to print many things on the paper. One day, they decided to print a big castle. They used blue, yellow, and pink crayons to make the castle look pretty.
+
+They cut out the castle and taped it to the wall. They pretended to be a princess and a knight. They had a lot of fun. They said, "This is our castle. We are the rulers of the land. We have a dragon and a horse. We are brave and kind."
+
+But then, Mom came into the room. She looked at the wall and frowned. She said, "What have you done? You have made a mess. You are not allowed to print on the wall. You have to clean it up. Now!"
+
+Lily and Sam felt sad and sorry. They said, "We are sorry, Mom. We just wanted to play. We did not mean to make a mess. We will clean it up. Please do not be mad."
+
+Mom sighed and said, "I am not mad. I am just disappointed. I know you like to print, but you have to be careful. You have to ask before you print on the wall. You have to respect the house. Do you understand?"
+
+Lily and Sam nodded and said, "We understand, Mom. We will not print on the wall again. We will only print on paper. We will be good."
+
+Mom smiled and said, "That's good. I love you, Lily and Sam. You are very creative and smart. But you also have to be responsible and respectful. Now, let's clean up the wall together. And then, we can print some more castles on paper. How does that sound?"
+
+Lily and Sam smiled and said, "That sounds great, Mom. Thank you, Mom. We love you, too." They hugged Mom and then helped her clean up the wall. They were quiet and careful. They learned their lesson. They still liked to print, but they also liked to keep the house clean.
+Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park with their toys. One day, they found a big pile of leaves. They thought it would be fun to jump in the leaves and make a mess.
+
+But they did not see that there was a sign that said "No fire". Someone had left a match in the leaves. When Lily and Ben jumped, the match lit up and the leaves started to burn. They saw smoke and fire and felt heat. They were scared and ran away.
+
+A man saw the fire and called the firemen. The firemen came with a big truck and a hose. They put out the fire and made sure no one was hurt. Then they saw Lily and Ben hiding behind a tree. They asked them what happened.
+
+Lily and Ben were ashamed. They knew they had done something bad. They told the firemen the truth. They said they were sorry and they did not mean to start the fire. They said they just wanted to play.
+
+The firemen were angry but also kind. They said they were glad Lily and Ben were safe. They said they should never play with fire or matches. They said fire can be very dangerous and hurt people and things. They said they should always read and follow signs. They said they should discuss with their parents what they did and learn from their mistake.
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They thanked the firemen for saving them and the park. They held hands and walked home. They felt sad and sorry. They hoped their parents and the park would forgive them. They decided to be more careful and responsible next time. They learned a big lesson that day.
+Tim and Lily were playing in the park with their dolls. They liked to pretend that their dolls were superheroes who could fly and save the world. Tim had a doll with a big mustache and a cape. He called him Mighty Mustache. Lily had a doll with long hair and a dress. She called her Princess Sparkle.
+
+"Look, Princess Sparkle can fly over the trees and make them shine!" Lily said, holding her doll in the air.
+
+"That's nothing, Mighty Mustache can fly over the mountains and make them roar!" Tim said, holding his doll in the air too.
+
+They flew their dolls around, making noises and having fun. But then, a big boy came and grabbed Tim's doll.
+
+"Hey, give that back!" Tim shouted.
+
+"No, it's mine now. I like this doll. It has a funny mustache." The big boy said, laughing.
+
+He pinched the doll's mustache and pulled it hard. Tim felt sad and angry. He wanted his doll back.
+
+"Stop it, you're hurting him!" Lily said, running to help Tim.
+
+She pinched the big boy's arm and made him drop the doll.
+
+"Ow, that hurts! You're a mean girl!" The big boy said, rubbing his arm.
+
+He ran away, crying. Tim picked up his doll and hugged it.
+
+"Thank you, Lily. You're a brave girl. You saved Mighty Mustache." Tim said, smiling.
+
+"You're welcome, Tim. You're a good friend. I like Mighty Mustache too." Lily said, smiling back.
+
+They hugged each other and their dolls. They continued to play in the park, happy and safe.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. They saw a big dog near the fence. The dog was barking and jumping.
+
+"Look, a dog!" Lily said. "Can we pet him?"
+
+Tom shook his head. "No, he is not our dog. He might bite us. We have to mind him."
+
+But Lily had an urge to touch the dog. She thought he was cute and fluffy. She walked slowly to the fence. The dog saw her and wagged his tail.
+
+"Hi, doggy!" Lily said. "Are you friendly?"
+
+The dog licked her hand. Lily smiled and stroked his fur. Tom watched from the swing. He felt alert. He was afraid the dog would hurt Lily.
+
+"Lily, come back!" Tom called. "The dog might be nice, but his owner might not. He might get mad at us."
+
+Lily did not listen. She kept playing with the dog. The dog barked and licked her face. Lily laughed.
+
+Suddenly, a man came out of the house. He saw Lily and the dog. He looked angry.
+
+"Hey, you! Get away from my dog!" he shouted. "He is not for kids. He is a guard dog. He might bite you!"
+
+Lily got scared. She ran back to Tom. The dog followed her. The man ran after the dog. He grabbed his collar and pulled him away.
+
+"Sorry, mister!" Lily said. "I just wanted to pet him. He was nice to me."
+
+The man glared at Lily and Tom. "Well, you should not pet strange dogs. They might be dangerous. You have to mind them. And you have to mind me. I don't want you near my fence. Now go away!"
+
+Tom and Lily nodded. They ran to their bikes. They rode away from the park. They decided to play somewhere else. They learned to mind dogs and people they did not know.
+Lila and Anna are best friends. They like to play with beads and make bracelets. They have many colors of beads: red, blue, yellow, green, pink, and purple. They sit on the floor and string the beads on a thin rope.
+
+"I like your bracelet, Anna. It is very light and shiny," Lila says. She looks at her own bracelet. It is almost done. She only needs one more bead.
+
+"Thank you, Lila. I like yours too. It is very pretty and colorful," Anna says. She sees that Lila is looking for the last bead. She has an idea. She picks up a special bead from her box. It is a heart-shaped bead. It is silver and sparkles in the sun.
+
+"Here, Lila. You can have this bead. It is for you," Anna says. She gives the bead to Lila.
+
+"Wow, Anna. Thank you so much. This bead is beautiful. It is perfect for my bracelet," Lila says. She smiles and hugs Anna. She puts the bead on her rope and ties a knot. She finishes her bracelet.
+
+"Look, Anna. We both have light and shiny bracelets. They are like stars on our wrists," Lila says. She holds up her arm and admires her bracelet.
+
+"Yes, Lila. They are like stars. And we are like sisters. We share everything," Anna says. She holds up her arm and touches her bracelet.
+
+They giggle and clap their hands. They are happy. They love their bracelets. And they love each other.
+Tom and Jen were twins who liked to play in the woods. One day, they found a big axe near a tree. Tom wanted to take it home, but Jen said no.
+
+"It is not ours. It is bad to take things that are not ours. And it is sharp and heavy. You can hurt yourself or someone else," Jen said.
+
+"But it is cool and shiny. I want to play with it. I can chop wood and make a fire and a fort," Tom said. He did not listen to Jen. He tried to pick up the axe, but it was too hard for him.
+
+Jen saw a man coming from the other side of the woods. He looked angry and mean. He had a big scar on his face and a bag on his shoulder. He was looking for the axe.
+
+"Tom, look! That man is coming. He is the owner of the axe. He will be mad if he sees us. We have to run away," Jen said.
+
+Tom was scared. He dropped the axe and ran after Jen. They hid behind a bush and watched the man. He saw the axe and smiled. He picked it up and put it in his bag. Then he walked away.
+
+Tom and Jen were lucky. They did not get caught by the man. They learned to resist their curiosity and not touch things that are not theirs. They hugged each other and went back home. They told their mom what happened and she was proud of them. She gave them cookies and milk and read them a story. They were happy and safe.
+Lily was a little girl who liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite one was Anna. Anna had long yellow hair and a blue dress. Lily took Anna everywhere she went.
+
+One day, Lily and Anna went to the park with Lily's mom. They saw a big slide, a swing, and a sandbox. Lily wanted to try them all. She put Anna on the bench and ran to the slide. She climbed up the ladder and slid down with a whoosh. She felt happy and excited.
+
+She ran to the swing and pushed it with her feet. She went higher and higher. She felt the wind in her hair and the sun on her face. She laughed and shouted.
+
+She ran to the sandbox and picked up a shovel and a bucket. She dug a hole and filled it with sand. She made a castle and decorated it with shells and stones. She felt proud and creative.
+
+She ran back to the bench and picked up Anna. She wanted to show her what she had done. But when she looked at Anna, she saw that her face was dirty and her dress was torn. Someone had played with Anna and hurt her. Lily felt angry and sad.
+
+"Who did this to you, Anna?" Lily asked. "Who was mean to you?"
+
+She looked around and saw a boy with a red cap and a bike. He was smiling and holding a scissors. He had cut Anna's hair and dress. Lily felt shocked and scared.
+
+"Hey, that's my doll!" Lily shouted. "You are bad! Give me back my scissors!"
+
+The boy laughed and rode away. He did not care about Lily or Anna. He only wanted to have fun. He did not seem to have a good heart.
+
+Lily hugged Anna and cried. She felt hurt and lonely. She wished Anna could talk to her and tell her it was okay.
+
+Lily's mom saw what happened and came to Lily. She took Anna and Lily in her arms. She felt sorry and angry.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily. That boy was very rude and cruel. He should not have touched your doll. He troubled your stomach and your feelings. He made you feel bad. But you are a good girl and Anna is a good doll. You love each other and I love you. We can fix Anna's hair and dress. We can make her look pretty again. And we can find a new friend who will be nice to you and Anna. How does that sound?"
+
+Lily looked at her mom and nodded. She felt a little better. She still felt sad, but she also felt loved and hopeful. She thanked her mom and kissed Anna. She seemed to have a good heart.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a yellow camera on a bench. It looks shiny and fun.
+
+"Wow, look at that!" Lily says. "Can we play with it?"
+
+"I don't know," Ben says. "Maybe it belongs to someone."
+
+They look around, but they don't see anyone. Lily picks up the camera and smiles.
+
+"Let's take some pictures," she says. "We can make funny faces and poses."
+
+She offers the camera to Ben. He takes it and points it at Lily. He presses a button and hears a click.
+
+"Say cheese!" he says.
+
+Lily says cheese and makes a big grin. She thinks they are having a lot of fun.
+
+But they don't know that the camera is not a toy. It is a spy camera. Someone is watching them from far away. Someone who is not nice. Someone who has a plan.
+
+The next day, Lily and Ben see their pictures in the newspaper. They are very surprised and scared. The headline says: "Wanted: Two Young Thieves Caught on Camera."
+
+They don't understand what is happening. They didn't steal anything. They just played with a yellow camera.
+
+But the person who owns the camera is a bad man. He is a robber. He used the camera to trick Lily and Ben. He wanted to make them look like the thieves. He wanted to get away with his crimes.
+
+Lily and Ben are in big trouble. They wish they never saw the yellow camera. They wish they never played with it. They wish they listened to Ben and left it alone.
+Lily and Max were bored. They did not want to play with their toys or watch TV. They wanted to do something fun and new.
+
+"Let's pretend we are chefs," Lily said. "We can make yummy food for our dolls and teddy bears."
+
+"OK," Max agreed. "What do we need?"
+
+Lily looked around the kitchen. She saw some broccoli in the fridge. She took it out and put it on a plate.
+
+"This is our main dish," she said. "It is very healthy and tasty. We are gifted chefs, we can make anything delicious."
+
+Max was not sure. He did not like broccoli. He thought it was green and bitter. He wanted something sweet and crunchy.
+
+"Can we have something else too?" he asked. "Like cookies or chips?"
+
+Lily shook her head. "No, we have to use what we have. And broccoli is good for you. It makes you strong and smart. Come on, let's go to the dining room and serve our guests."
+
+Lily and Max carried the plate of broccoli to the dining room. They put it on the table, where their dolls and teddy bears were waiting. They pretended to give them forks and knives and napkins.
+
+"Bon appetit," Lily said. "Enjoy your broccoli. It is the best in the world."
+
+The dolls and teddy bears did not say anything. They just smiled and nodded.
+
+Lily and Max pretended to eat some broccoli too. They made noises of satisfaction and praise.
+
+"Mmm, this is so good," Lily said. "You are a gifted chef, Max."
+
+"Thank you, Lily," Max said. "You are a gifted chef too."
+
+They smiled at each other. They were having fun. They did not notice that they were actually eating broccoli. And they did not mind. They liked it. It was not so bad after all.
+Tom and Sue were hungry. They wanted to eat bread and butter. They saw a big jar of butter on the table. But the table was too high for them.
+
+"Let's get a chair," Tom said. "We can stand on it and reach the butter."
+
+"OK," Sue said. They got a chair and pushed it to the table. Tom climbed on the chair and Sue helped him. Tom stretched his arm and touched the jar.
+
+"I got it!" Tom said. He tried to pull the jar to him. But the jar was too heavy and slippery. It fell from his hand and broke on the floor. Butter and glass went everywhere.
+
+"Oh no!" Sue said. "We made a big mess. Mom will be mad."
+
+Tom and Sue heard Mom coming. They were scared. They jumped off the chair and ran to hide under the bed.
+
+Mom saw the mess on the floor. She was not happy. She looked for Tom and Sue.
+
+"Tom, Sue, where are you?" Mom said. "What did you do?"
+
+Tom and Sue did not answer. They hoped Mom would not find them. But Mom knew where they were. She lifted the bed sheet and saw them.
+
+"There you are," Mom said. "Why did you try to get the butter? You know it is not for you. It is bad for you. It can make you sick."
+
+Tom and Sue felt sorry. They looked at Mom with big eyes.
+
+"We were hungry," Tom said. "We wanted to eat bread and butter. We are sorry, Mom."
+
+Mom sighed. She was not angry anymore. She hugged Tom and Sue.
+
+"I know you were hungry," Mom said. "But you should have asked me first. I would have given you something good to eat. Come on, let's clean up this mess. And then we can have some fruit and milk. How does that sound?"
+
+Tom and Sue nodded. They said sorry again. They helped Mom clean up the mess. And then they had some fruit and milk. They liked fruit and milk. They did not want butter anymore.
+Lila and Ben are twins. They like to play outside. One day, they see a big mountain far away. They want to go there.
+
+"Let's go to the mountain, Ben!" Lila says.
+
+"OK, Lila. But how do we get there?" Ben asks.
+
+"We can walk. It's not too far," Lila says.
+
+They start to walk. They walk and walk and walk. But the mountain does not get closer. It is still far away.
+
+"Are we there yet, Lila?" Ben asks.
+
+"Soon, Ben. Soon," Lila says.
+
+But Lila does not know. She is ignorant. She does not know how big the mountain is. She does not know how long it takes to walk there.
+
+They walk and walk and walk. They get tired. They get hungry. They get thirsty. They get lost.
+
+"Lila, I want to go back. I don't like the mountain," Ben says.
+
+"Me too, Ben. Me too," Lila says.
+
+But they do not know how to go back. They do not see their home. They do not see their mom and dad. They do not see anyone.
+
+They find a big tree. They lie under the tree. They hope someone will find them. They are scared. They are sad. They are sorry.
+
+They should not have lied. They should not have been ignorant. They should have listened to their mom and dad. They should have stayed at home.
+Sara liked to blow bubbles with her mom. They had a big bottle of bubble soap and a wand with a circle. Sara would dip the wand in the soap and blow gently. She liked to watch the bubbles fly in the air and pop.
+
+One day, Sara and her mom went to the park. They brought the bubble soap and the wand with them. Sara was very happy. She ran to a grassy spot and started to blow bubbles. She saw a dog, a bird, and a flower in the bubbles. She laughed and clapped.
+
+But then, Sara saw a swing. She loved swings. She wanted to swing high and feel the wind. She ran to the swing and left the bubble soap and the wand on the grass. She forgot about them.
+
+Her mom followed her and pushed her on the swing. Sara swung high and felt the wind. She smiled and shouted. She had fun.
+
+But then, a boy came to the grassy spot. He saw the bubble soap and the wand. He liked bubbles too. He picked them up and started to blow bubbles. He saw a car, a star, and a fish in the bubbles. He giggled and jumped.
+
+Sara saw the boy. She saw the bubble soap and the wand. She remembered them. She wanted them back. She got off the swing and ran to the boy. She was angry. She said, "That's mine! Give it back!"
+
+The boy was scared. He said, "Sorry, I didn't know. Here, you can have it." He gave the bubble soap and the wand to Sara.
+
+Sara took them and hugged them. She was happy. She said, "Thank you. Do you want to blow bubbles with me?"
+
+The boy nodded. He said, "Yes, please. That would be nice."
+
+Sara was thoughtful. She said, "OK, let's share. You can use the wand and I can use the soap. We can take turns."
+
+The boy smiled. He said, "OK, that sounds fair."
+
+Sara and the boy blew bubbles together. They saw many things in the bubbles. They laughed and played. They became friends. Sara's mom watched them and smiled. She was proud of Sara. She said, "Sara, you are very thoughtful. You learned to share and to forgive. That's very good."
+
+Sara looked at her mom and said, "Thank you, mom. I love you. And I love bubbles."
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play in the park with their family. One day, they see a big round thing that spins. It is a merry-go-round.
+
+"Can we go on it, Mommy?" Lily asks.
+
+"Sure, but be careful. It might make you dizzy," Mommy says.
+
+Lily and Ben run to the merry-go-round. They decide to sit on different animals. Lily picks a horse and Ben picks a lion. They hold on tight as the merry-go-round starts to spin.
+
+"Whee, this is fun!" Lily says.
+
+"Roar, I'm a lion!" Ben says.
+
+They laugh and smile as they go round and round. But after a while, they start to feel funny. Their heads are spinning too.
+
+"Mommy, I feel dizzy," Lily says.
+
+"Me too," Ben says.
+
+The merry-go-round stops and they get off. They walk slowly to their family. They feel wobbly and sick.
+
+"Are you okay, sweeties?" Mommy asks.
+
+They nod, but they look pale.
+
+"Maybe you should sit down and drink some water," Mommy says.
+
+She gives them each a bottle of water and a hug. They sit on a bench and sip their water. They feel better after a few minutes.
+
+"Next time, maybe we should not spin so fast," Lily says.
+
+"Or pick a different ride," Ben says.
+
+They smile at each other. They still love the park and their family. But they do not love the merry-go-round anymore.
+Lily likes to help her mom in the kitchen. She can use a teaspoon to stir the sugar in her tea. She can also use it to scoop some jam on her toast. She thinks teaspoons are fun and useful.
+
+One day, Lily finds a very thin teaspoon in the drawer. It is shiny and bendy. She wonders what it is for. She asks her mom, but her mom is busy making a cake. She tells Lily to wait a minute.
+
+Lily does not want to wait. She wants to try the thin teaspoon. She takes it to her tea and stirs it. But the teaspoon is too thin. It breaks in half. Lily is shocked and sad. She drops the broken teaspoon on the floor.
+
+Her mom hears the noise and comes to see. She sees the thin teaspoon and the tea. She is not happy. She tells Lily that the thin teaspoon is not for stirring. It is for measuring. It is a special teaspoon for baking. She says Lily should not use things without asking.
+
+Lily feels sorry. She says she is sorry. She hugs her mom and helps her clean up. She learns to be more careful with teaspoons. She still likes to help her mom in the kitchen, but she only uses the normal teaspoons.
+Tim and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a big house made of cardboard, and they pretended to be a family inside. Tim was the dad, and Lily was the mom.
+
+"Let's go to the park, mom," Tim said, holding a toy car.
+
+"OK, dad, but we have to be careful. There are some big people outside who might step on our house," Lily said, holding a toy doll.
+
+They picked up their house and carried it to the door. But when they opened the door, they saw something strange. Their house was shrinking! It was getting smaller and smaller, until it was the size of a shoe.
+
+"What's happening, dad?" Lily asked, scared.
+
+"I don't know, mom. Maybe it's magic. Maybe someone cast a spell on our house," Tim said, confused.
+
+They looked around and saw a big person standing next to them. It was their big sister, Mia. She was holding a remote control and smiling.
+
+"Hi, Tim and Lily. Do you like my new toy? It can shrink and grow anything I point it at. Watch this," Mia said, and pressed a button.
+
+Their house started to grow again, until it was bigger than before. It was so big that it filled the whole living room.
+
+"Wow, that's amazing, Mia. How did you do that?" Tim asked, amazed.
+
+"I'm smart, Tim. I made this toy myself. It's a science project. Do you want to try it?" Mia asked, friendly.
+
+"Can we, Mia? Can we?" Lily asked, excited.
+
+"Sure, but you have to be careful. Don't shrink or grow anything that might break or hurt someone. And don't tell mom and dad. It's a secret, OK?" Mia said, and handed them the remote control.
+
+"OK, Mia. We won't tell. Thank you, Mia. You're the best sister ever," Tim and Lily said, and hugged her.
+
+They took the remote control and ran outside with their house. They had a lot of fun shrinking and growing things. They shrunk a flower and put it in their house. They grew a ball and bounced it high. They shrunk themselves and explored the grass. They grew a bug and ran away from it. They laughed and played until it was time to go back inside. They put everything back to normal and thanked Mia again. They put their house in their room and went to bed. They dreamed of shrinking and growing things. They were happy.
+Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play in the yard. They have a dog named Spot. Spot is big and brown and friendly.
+
+One day, Tom and Sam find a bone in the yard. They think it is Spot's bone. They both want to play with it. They start to fight over the bone. They pull and tug and yell.
+
+Spot sees them fighting. He does not like it. He runs to them and barks. He takes the bone from them. He runs to a corner of the yard. He digs a hole. He buries the bone in the hole. He covers it with dirt.
+
+Tom and Sam stop fighting. They feel bad. They see Spot burying the bone. They realize it is his bone. They say sorry to Spot. They say sorry to each other.
+
+They go to Spot. They give him a hug. They tell him he is a good dog. They ask him to play with them. Spot wags his tail. He is happy. He likes to play with Tom and Sam.
+
+They forget about the bone. They play with Spot. They have fun. They are friends.
+
+The end.
+Sam and Mia were friends who liked to play in the park. They had a big ball that they kicked and threw to each other. They also had a small teddy bear that they shared. The teddy bear was soft and brown and had a red bow. They named him Bobo.
+
+One day, they went to the park as usual, but they saw a boy they did not know. He was bigger than them and had a mean face. He saw their ball and ran to get it. He snatched it from Sam's hands and said, "This is mine now. You can't have it."
+
+Sam and Mia were scared and sad. They wanted their ball back. They said, "No, that is our ball. We brought it from home. It belongs to us. Please give it back."
+
+The boy laughed and said, "No, it belongs to me. I like it. It is big and round and bouncy. You can have this instead." He threw Bobo at them and ran away with the ball.
+
+Sam and Mia caught Bobo and hugged him. They were happy to have him, but they missed their ball. Bobo was not big and round and bouncy. He was small and soft and heavy. They looked at the sky and saw that it was noon. The sun was high and bright. They decided to go home and tell their moms what happened.
+
+They walked home, holding Bobo and each other's hands. They hoped that the boy would be nice and return their ball someday. They also hoped that Bobo was not sad or hurt. They told him, "Don't worry, Bobo. You belong to us. We love you. You are our friend." Bobo smiled and nodded. He felt warm and safe. He loved them too. He was their friend.
+Lily and Max were bored. They had played with all their toys and read all their books. They wanted to do something fun and exciting.
+
+"I know!" said Lily. "Let's have a race! We can run from the kitchen to the living room and back. The first one to touch the armchair wins!"
+
+"OK!" said Max. "That sounds like fun! But you have to count to three before we start. No cheating!"
+
+Lily and Max went to the kitchen and stood by the door. Lily counted out loud. "One, two, three, go!" They both ran as fast as they could to the living room. Lily was ahead, but Max was close behind. They reached the armchair and both tried to touch it at the same time.
+
+"I win!" said Lily.
+
+"No, I win!" said Max.
+
+They both looked at each other and started to argue. They both wanted to be the winner. They both felt frustrated.
+
+"Stop it!" said Mom, who was watching from the couch. "You both did a great job. You both touched the armchair at the same time. You both win!"
+
+Lily and Max looked at Mom and then at each other. They realized that Mom was right. They both smiled and hugged each other.
+
+"Sorry, Lily," said Max.
+
+"Sorry, Max," said Lily.
+
+They both felt happy again. They decided to have another race, but this time they would run together and touch the armchair at the same time. They ran back to the kitchen and counted to three. Then they ran to the living room and touched the armchair together. They laughed and cheered.
+
+"Yay, we win!" they said.
+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. The park has a big slide, a swing, and a path. The path goes around the park and has flowers and trees.
+
+One day, Lily and Tom go to the park. They see many kids on the slide and the swing. They are very noisy and pushy. Lily and Tom do not like that.
+
+"Let's go to the path," Lily says. "It is quiet and pretty. We can see the flowers and the trees."
+
+"OK," Tom says. "I like the path. It is not popular, but it is nice."
+
+They walk on the path. They see yellow flowers, red flowers, and blue flowers. They see green trees, brown trees, and white trees. They see birds, squirrels, and butterflies. They are happy.
+
+They stop at a bench. They sit and think. They think about the park, the path, and their friendship.
+
+"I like the park," Lily says. "But I like the path more. It is peaceful and beautiful. And I like you more. You are my best friend."
+
+"I like the park, too," Tom says. "But I like the path more. It is calm and lovely. And I like you more. You are my best friend, too."
+
+They hug and smile. They are happy. They like the path. They like each other. They are friends.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play together. They have many toys in their room. One day, they find a big box. They want to see what is inside.
+
+"Let's crawl inside the box," Anna says. "Maybe there is a surprise."
+
+"OK," Ben says. "But be careful. The box is dark and dirty."
+
+They crawl inside the box. They see some old clothes and books. They are not happy. They want something fun and shiny.
+
+"Look, Anna," Ben says. "I found a hat. It has feathers and flowers. It is very pretty."
+
+He puts the hat on his head. He smiles.
+
+"I have a style," he says. "I look like a king."
+
+Anna sees the hat. She wants it too. She thinks it is not fair that Ben has it.
+
+"Give me the hat, Ben," she says. "It is mine. I saw it first."
+
+"No, Anna," Ben says. "It is mine. I found it. You can have something else."
+
+They start to fight. They pull and tug the hat. They yell and cry. They do not share. They do not listen.
+
+The hat rips. The feathers and flowers fall off. The hat is broken. They are both sad.
+
+They hear a noise. It is their mom. She comes to the room. She sees the box. She sees the mess. She sees the hat. She is angry.
+
+"What are you doing, Anna and Ben?" she says. "Why are you in the box? Why are you fighting? Why did you break the hat?"
+
+They do not answer. They are scared. They know they did something bad.
+
+Mom takes them out of the box. She makes them clean the room. She makes them say sorry. She makes them hug. She takes the hat away.
+
+She tells them a story. She says the hat was her grandma's. She says it was very old and special. She says it was not a toy. She says it was not for them.
+
+She says they should not crawl inside boxes. She says they should not fight over things. She says they should share and be kind. She says they should have a normal style. She says they should respect and love each other.
+
+She says they are twins. She says they are lucky. She says they have each other.
+
+Anna and Ben feel sorry. They feel ashamed. They feel sad. They wish they did not crawl inside the box. They wish they did not break the hat. They wish they did not hurt their mom.
+
+They learn a lesson. They say they will not do it again. They say they will be good. They say they love their mom. They say they love each other.
+
+But it is too late. The hat is gone. The surprise is gone. The fun is gone. The box is empty. The end.
+Tom and Anna are twins. They like to play with their toys in their room. But sometimes they make a big mess and do not put their toys away.
+
+One day, Mom comes to their room and sees toys everywhere. She is not happy. She says, "Tom and Anna, you need to tidy your room. It is very messy. Please put your toys in the box and make your beds."
+
+Tom and Anna do not want to tidy their room. They want to keep playing. They say, "Mom, please, can we play a little more? We are having fun."
+
+Mom shakes her head. She says, "No, you cannot play more. You need to tidy your room now. It is your job. If you tidy your room, I will give you a treat. But if you do not tidy your room, you will have no treat and no TV."
+
+Tom and Anna do not like this. They want a treat and TV. They look at each other and nod. They decide to tidy their room. They put their toys in the box and make their beds. They work fast and hard.
+
+Mom comes back and sees their room. She is very happy. She says, "Tom and Anna, you did a great job. Your room is very tidy. I am proud of you. You can have a treat and TV. But first, come here and give me a hug."
+
+Tom and Anna run to Mom and hug her. They say, "Thank you, Mom. We love you. You are the best." Mom smiles and kisses them. She says, "I love you too. You are the best. Now, how about a rub on your back? It will make you feel good." Tom and Anna say, "Yes, please. We like a rub on our back." Mom rubs their back and they feel good. They are happy and cozy. They enjoy their treat and TV. They have a good day.
+Ben is a big dog. He is a guard dog. He lives on a farm with many animals and a nice family. He likes to run, bark and play with the other dogs. But he also knows how to be obedient. He listens to his master and does what he is told.
+
+One day, his master tells him to rest in his doghouse. He says there is a storm coming and he does not want Ben to get wet or scared. Ben does not like storms. They make loud noises and bright flashes. He is glad to go to his doghouse and curl up on his blanket.
+
+But soon he hears a strange sound. It is not the storm. It is a sneaky fox. The fox is hungry and wants to eat some of the chickens. Ben sees the fox creeping towards the chicken coop. He forgets about the storm and the rest. He jumps out of his doghouse and runs after the fox. He barks loudly and chases the fox away.
+
+"Good boy, Ben!" his master says, coming out of the house. He sees what Ben has done and gives him a hug and a treat. "You are a brave and loyal guard dog. You protected the chickens and the farm. Now you can rest again. The storm is over and the sun is shining."
+
+Ben wags his tail and follows his master back to his doghouse. He is happy and proud. He is a good dog. He rests on his blanket and dreams of running, barking and playing.
+Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play together in the snow. One day, they make a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They are very happy.
+
+But then, the snowman starts to melt. The sun is too hot. Tom and Anna are sad. They want to save their snowman.
+
+"Let's take him inside," Tom says. "Maybe he can stay cold in the fireplace."
+
+Anna nods. They push and pull the snowman to the door. It is hard work. The snowman is heavy and wet.
+
+They open the door and go inside. They see Mom and Dad sitting on the couch. They are reading books. They look up and see Tom and Anna with the snowman.
+
+"What are you doing?" Mom asks. "Why did you bring the snowman inside?"
+
+"We want to save him," Anna says. "He is melting outside. Can he stay in the fireplace?"
+
+Mom and Dad laugh. They think it is funny. They explain to Tom and Anna that the fireplace is not cold. It is hot. It makes fire. Fire will melt the snowman faster.
+
+Tom and Anna are surprised. They did not know that. They look at the fireplace. They see the fire. It is red and orange. It is attractive. It makes noise. They hear it crackle and pop.
+
+They realize that the fireplace is not a good place for the snowman. They say sorry to Mom and Dad. They ask them to help them take the snowman outside again.
+
+Mom and Dad smile. They hug Tom and Anna. They say they are proud of them for being kind and caring. They say they will help them make a new snowman when the snow is cold again.
+
+Tom and Anna are happy. They thank Mom and Dad. They take the snowman outside. They say goodbye to him. They hope he will be happy in the snow. They go back inside. They sit with Mom and Dad on the couch. They watch the fire. They feel warm and cozy. They are a happy family.
+Lily and Ben were playing in their room. They had many toys and clothes, but they did not like to share. Lily wanted to play with Ben's truck, but Ben said no. He said it was his truck and he did not want Lily to break it.
+
+Lily was angry. She saw a hanger on the floor. She had an idea. She said to Ben, "I will give you this hanger if you let me play with your truck. It is a very good hanger. You can hang your coat on it."
+
+Ben was ignorant. He did not know what a hanger was for. He thought it was a toy. He said to Lily, "OK, I will trade you. Give me the hanger and you can play with my truck."
+
+Lily gave Ben the hanger and took the truck. She was happy. She drove the truck around the room. Ben looked at the hanger. He tried to play with it, but it was not fun. He did not know what to do with it. He felt cheated.
+
+He said to Lily, "Hey, this is not a good trade. This hanger is boring. I want my truck back. Give it to me now."
+
+Lily said, "No, you cannot have it back. You agreed to trade. You cannot change your mind. You have to pay for your mistake."
+
+Ben started to cry. He wanted his truck back. He did not like the hanger. He wished he was not ignorant. He wished he knew what a hanger was for. He learned a lesson. He learned to be careful when he trades. He learned to share with his sister.
+Sara and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to slide, swing and run. They saw a big tent with a sign that said "Magic Show". They wanted to see the magic.
+
+"Let's go, Sara!" Tom said. "Maybe we can see a rabbit or a flower."
+
+"OK, Tom!" Sara said. "But we have to hurry. Mommy said we have to be home soon."
+
+They ran to the tent and gave their tickets to a man. He smiled and said, "Welcome to the magic show! You are very lucky. You are the last ones to enter."
+
+They found two seats in the front row. They were very excited. They saw a man in a black hat and a red cape. He had a wand and a box. He said, "Hello, boys and girls! I am the great Magico. I will show you some amazing magic. Are you ready?"
+
+"Yes!" Sara and Tom shouted.
+
+The man waved his wand and said, "Abracadabra!" He opened the box and pulled out a big, fluffy rabbit. The rabbit hopped on the stage and wiggled its nose. The children clapped and cheered.
+
+The man said, "Do you like the rabbit?"
+
+"Yes!" Sara and Tom said.
+
+The man said, "Do you want to pet the rabbit?"
+
+"Yes!" Sara and Tom said.
+
+The man said, "OK, then. Be my guests. But be careful. The rabbit is very shy. You have to be gentle and quiet."
+
+Sara and Tom got up from their seats and walked to the stage. They reached out their hands to touch the rabbit. But the rabbit was scared. It jumped out of the box and ran away. It ran out of the tent and into the park.
+
+"Oh, no!" the man said. "The rabbit is gone! We have to catch it. Come on, boys and girls. Help me find the rabbit. Hurry, hurry!"
+
+Sara and Tom followed the man. They ran after the rabbit. They looked behind the trees, under the benches, in the bushes. But they could not find the rabbit. They were sad and worried.
+
+"Where is the rabbit?" Sara asked.
+
+"I don't know, Sara," Tom said. "Maybe it is hiding somewhere."
+
+"Maybe it is lost," Sara said.
+
+"Maybe it is hungry," Tom said.
+
+"Maybe it is lonely," Sara said.
+
+They felt sorry for the rabbit. They wished they could find it and bring it back to the tent. They wished they could make it happy.
+
+They heard a soft sound. It was the rabbit. It was sitting on a pile of carrots. It was eating and smiling. It looked happy.
+
+"Look, Tom!" Sara said. "There is the rabbit!"
+
+"Look, Sara!" Tom said. "It has carrots!"
+
+They ran to the rabbit. They smiled and said, "Hello, rabbit! We are glad you are OK. We are sorry we scared you. Do you want to come back with us?"
+
+The rabbit looked at them. It saw their kind faces. It felt their gentle hands. It heard their sweet voices. It liked them. It nodded and said, "Yes, please. Thank you for being nice to me. You are very generous."
+
+They picked up the rabbit and hugged it. They gave it some carrots. They walked back to the tent. They saw the man. He was happy to see them. He said, "You found the rabbit! You are wonderful! Thank you for helping me. You are very brave."
+
+He took the rabbit and put it back in the box. He said, "Now, boys and girls, let's continue the magic show. I have more surprises for you. Are you ready?"
+
+"Yes!" Sara and Tom said.
+
+They sat down in their seats. They watched the magic show. They saw more rabbits, flowers, stars and balloons. They clapped and cheered. They had fun. They learned that magic is not only in the tent, but also in the park, in the carrots, in the rabbit and in their hearts.
+Lily and Sam were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and laugh. They saw some flowers with pretty colors. They wanted to smell them and touch them.
+
+"Look, Sam, a bee!" Lily said. She pointed to a small yellow and black bug on a flower. "It is making a buzzing sound."
+
+Sam was curious. He moved closer to the bee. He reached out his hand to touch it. "I want to see it better," he said.
+
+Lily was scared. She knew that bees could sting and hurt. She shook her head. "No, Sam, don't touch it! It will be angry and sting you!" she said.
+
+But Sam did not listen. He grabbed the bee with his fingers. He felt a sharp pain in his hand. He cried out loud. He let go of the bee. He released it.
+
+The bee was angry and hurt. It flew around Sam's head. It stung him again on his cheek. Sam cried louder. He ran to Lily. He wanted her to help him.
+
+Lily was scared and sad. She did not know what to do. She hugged Sam and tried to calm him down. She called for their mom. She hoped she would come soon and make Sam feel better.
+
+But their mom did not come soon. She was busy in the house. She did not hear their cries. She did not see their pain. She did not help them.
+
+The end.
+Ben and Mia are friends. They like to play in the pool. They make swim with their arms and legs. They splash water and laugh.
+
+One day, Ben has a new toy. It is a red boat. He puts it in the pool. He says, "Look at my boat. It is fast and cool. You can't touch it."
+
+Mia wants to see the boat. She swims to Ben. She says, "Can I play with your boat? It looks fun."
+
+Ben says, "No, it is my boat. Go away." He pushes Mia with his hand. Mia feels sad and angry.
+
+She sees a bottle on the table. It is hot sauce. It is spicy. She has an idea. She takes the bottle and pours some sauce on the boat. She says, "Now your boat is spicy. How do you like it?"
+
+Ben sees his boat. It is red and wet. He smells the sauce. He says, "Yuck! What did you do? You ruined my boat. It is hot and bad. You are mean."
+
+He cries and runs to his mom. Mia feels sorry. She says, "I'm sorry, Ben. I was mad. I didn't mean to hurt your boat. Can we be friends again?"
+
+She gives him a hug. Ben says, "I'm sorry, too. I was rude. I should have shared my boat. Can we play together?"
+
+They say sorry to each other. They make up. They play with the boat and the sauce. They make swim and laugh. They are happy.
+Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big hill with many rocks and flowers. They wanted to climb the hill and see what was on the other side.
+
+"Let's go, Ben!" Lily said. "We can step on the rocks and find new things!"
+
+"OK, Lily!" Ben said. "But we have to be careful. The hill is very high and steep. We need oxygen to breathe."
+
+They started to climb the hill, stepping on the rocks and holding each other's hands. They saw many bugs and birds and plants. They felt happy and curious.
+
+But there was a problem. Ben was lazy. He did not like to exercise or work hard. He got tired and bored very soon. He wanted to stop and rest.
+
+"Lily, I don't want to climb anymore," Ben said. "It's too hard and hot. I need oxygen. Can we go back?"
+
+"No, Ben!" Lily said. "We are almost there. Look, there is a big tree on the top. Maybe there is something cool under the tree. Come on, Ben, don't be lazy!"
+
+Lily pulled Ben's hand and made him step on the last rock. They reached the top of the hill and ran to the tree. They were surprised and happy by what they saw.
+
+Under the tree, there was a big basket with a red cloth. Inside the basket, there were many yummy things: sandwiches, cookies, juice, fruits, and candy. There was also a note that said: "For Lily and Ben, from Mom and Dad. We are proud of you for climbing the hill. Enjoy your picnic!"
+
+Lily and Ben hugged each other and smiled. They thanked their parents and ate the yummy things. They felt full and happy. They also felt sorry for being lazy and grumpy.
+
+"Wow, Lily, this is the best surprise ever!" Ben said. "I'm glad we climbed the hill. It was worth it!"
+
+"Me too, Ben!" Lily said. "We had fun and learned new things. And we got oxygen and food!"
+
+They laughed and played under the tree. They looked at the park and the sky. They felt lucky and loved. They had a great day.
+Anna was sick. She had a fever and a cough. Mom put a thermometer in her mouth to check her temperature. Anna did not like the thermometer. It was cold and hard.
+
+"Be still, Anna. It will be over soon," Mom said.
+
+Anna tried to be still, but she wanted to spit out the thermometer. She made a face and moved her tongue.
+
+"Anna, no! You have to remain calm. The thermometer needs to stay in your mouth for a minute," Mom said.
+
+Anna sighed and closed her eyes. She counted to ten in her head. Then she counted to ten again. And again. She hoped the minute would end soon.
+
+The thermometer beeped. Mom took it out of Anna's mouth and looked at the screen. She smiled and hugged Anna.
+
+"Good job, Anna. Your fever is going down. You are very brave and impressive," Mom said.
+
+Anna smiled back. She felt a little better. She liked Mom's hug. She liked being brave and impressive. She did not like the thermometer. She hoped she would not need it again.
+Sam and Mia are playing doctor with their toys. Sam has a stethoscope and Mia has a clipboard. They take turns to examine their teddy bears and dolls.
+
+"Your turn, Mia. Examine this bear. He has a bad cough," Sam says, handing her a brown teddy.
+
+Mia puts the stethoscope on the bear's chest and listens. She makes a serious face and writes on her clipboard.
+
+"Sam, this bear has a problem with his lung. His lung is not working well. He needs medicine," Mia says.
+
+"What kind of medicine, Mia?" Sam asks.
+
+Mia thinks for a moment. She remembers that her mom gave her orange juice when she had a cold. She decides that orange juice is a good medicine for the bear.
+
+"He needs orange juice, Sam. Orange juice will make his lung better. It is sweet and good for him," Mia says.
+
+Sam nods and runs to the kitchen. He comes back with a cup of orange juice and a straw. He helps the bear drink the juice.
+
+"Good job, Mia. You are a great doctor. The bear will feel better soon," Sam says.
+
+"Thank you, Sam. You are a great doctor too. Let's examine another toy," Mia says.
+
+They smile and hug their toys. They enjoy playing doctor and helping their friends.
+Lily and Sam were twins who liked to play in their room. One day, they found their mom's makeup bag on the dresser. They wanted to try the makeup and look like mom.
+
+"Let's put on some makeup, Sam!" Lily said. "It will be fun!"
+
+"Okay, Lily!" Sam said. "But we have to be quiet. Mom is working in the other room."
+
+They opened the bag and took out some lipstick, eyeshadow, blush, and mascara. They started to put the makeup on their faces, but they did not know how to do it well. They made a big mess on their faces and on the dresser.
+
+They looked at each other and laughed. They thought they looked funny and pretty. They decided to show mom their new look.
+
+They put on their hats and coats and marched out of their room. They made a lot of noise as they walked. They sang a song:
+
+"We are Lily and Sam, we are Lily and Sam, we have makeup on, we have makeup on, we are so pretty, we are so pretty, we want to show mom, we want to show mom!"
+
+Mom heard the noise and came out of her room. She saw Lily and Sam marching and singing. She was very surprised and angry. She saw the makeup on their faces and on the dresser. She saw the makeup bag on the floor.
+
+"What have you done, Lily and Sam?" Mom asked. "You took my makeup without asking. You made a big mess. You were very noisy. You did not listen to me. You were very naughty!"
+
+Lily and Sam stopped marching and singing. They felt bad. They saw mom's face and knew they did something wrong.
+
+"We are sorry, mom," Lily and Sam said. "We wanted to look like you. We wanted to have fun. We did not mean to make you mad."
+
+Mom sighed. She was still angry, but she also loved Lily and Sam. She knew they were just curious and playful.
+
+"I love you, Lily and Sam," Mom said. "But you have to learn some rules. You have to ask before you take something that is not yours. You have to be careful with things that are not toys. You have to be quiet when I am working. You have to listen to me. Do you understand?"
+
+"Yes, mom," Lily and Sam said. "We understand. We will follow the rules. We will not take your makeup again. We will be quiet. We will listen to you."
+
+Mom smiled. She hugged Lily and Sam. She took them to the bathroom and helped them wash their faces. She took them to their room and helped them clean the dresser. She took them to the kitchen and gave them some cookies.
+
+"Thank you, mom," Lily and Sam said. "You are the best mom. We love you."
+
+Mom kissed Lily and Sam. She was happy. She said:
+
+"I love you, too, Lily and Sam. You are my sweet twins. You are pretty without makeup. You are fun without noise. You are good when you listen. You make me proud."
+
+The end.
+
+Moral value: The story teaches the children to respect other people's belongings, to be careful with things that are not toys, to be quiet when someone is working, to listen to their parents, and to apologize when they make a mistake. It also shows the love between the mom and the twins.
+Tim and Lily liked to play in the park. They liked to swing and slide and run. One day, they saw a big hill with a tall tree on top. They wanted to climb the hill and the tree.
+
+"Let's go, Tim!" Lily said. "We can soar like birds in the sky!"
+
+Tim was scared. He saw the hill was steep and the tree was old. He saw the roots sticking out of the ground and the branches looking dry. He thought the wind was harsh and the sun was hot.
+
+"I don't know, Lily," Tim said. "It looks hard and dangerous. Maybe we should stay here."
+
+Lily was brave. She did not listen to Tim. She ran up the hill and grabbed the tree. She started to climb the trunk and the branches. She felt happy and free.
+
+"Come on, Tim!" Lily shouted. "Don't be a baby! It's fun and easy!"
+
+Tim felt sad and left out. He did not want to be a baby. He wanted to be with Lily. He followed her up the hill and the tree. He felt scared and tired.
+
+Lily reached the top of the tree. She saw the park and the town and the sky. She felt like a bird. She smiled and waved at Tim.
+
+"Look, Tim!" Lily said. "We did it! We are soaring!"
+
+Tim reached the top of the tree. He saw the park and the town and the sky. He felt like a worm. He trembled and cried.
+
+"Help, Lily!" Tim said. "I want to go down! I don't like it!"
+
+Lily laughed at Tim. She thought he was silly and weak. She did not help him. She jumped from branch to branch. She felt like a monkey.
+
+"Stop crying, Tim!" Lily said. "You are fine! Just jump like me!"
+
+Tim tried to jump like Lily. He did not know how. He slipped and fell. He hit the roots and the ground. He felt a lot of pain. He screamed and bled.
+
+Lily heard Tim scream. She looked down and saw him. She felt a lot of fear. She did not know what to do. She stayed on the tree.
+
+"Help, Lily!" Tim said. "I'm hurt! I need you!"
+
+Lily did not help Tim. She was too scared to move. She saw the people and the cars and the sirens. She felt like a mouse. She hid and cried.
+
+The end.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play outside. One day, they see a big truck with a hose. The hose is bright and yellow. It looks like fun.
+
+"Let's go and see the hose!" Anna says.
+
+"OK, but be careful. The truck is loud and fast." Ben says.
+
+They run to the truck. They want to touch the hose. But the truck driver does not see them. He is busy. He has to travel to another place. He starts the truck. The truck makes a lot of noise.
+
+"Stop! Stop!" Anna and Ben shout. But the truck driver does not hear them. He drives away. The hose is still on the ground. It drags Anna and Ben with it. They scream and cry. They are scared and hurt.
+
+The truck driver does not know what is happening. He does not see Anna and Ben. He does not see the hose. He only sees the road. He travels far away. Anna and Ben are gone. They are very sad. The end.
+Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big pond with some ducks and fish. Lily wanted to feed the ducks, but Tom had a different idea.
+
+"Let's go see what is in the pond," he said. "Maybe there is something fun."
+
+Lily was not sure, but she followed Tom. They walked around the pond until they saw something big and green lying on the bank. It had a long tail, a big mouth and sharp teeth. It was a crocodile!
+
+"Wow, look at that!" Tom said. "It is a crocodile. I want to touch it."
+
+Lily was scared. She knew crocodiles were dangerous and could bite. She tried to stop Tom.
+
+"No, Tom, don't do that!" she said. "Crocodiles are not nice. They can hurt you. I recommend you stay away from it."
+
+But Tom did not listen. He ran towards the crocodile and reached out his hand. The crocodile opened its eyes and snapped its jaws. Tom screamed and ran back to Lily. He was very lucky. The crocodile did not catch him, but it tore his shirt.
+
+Lily hugged Tom and checked if he was okay. He was not hurt, but he was very embarrassed. His shirt was ruined and he looked silly. He wished he had listened to Lily.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily," he said. "You were right. Crocodiles are not fun. They are scary. I should have stayed away from it."
+
+Lily smiled and forgave him. She was glad he was safe.
+
+"It's okay, Tom," she said. "We all make mistakes. But next time, please listen to me. I recommend you be more careful."
+
+They decided to leave the pond and go play somewhere else. They learned a lesson that day. They learned to respect animals and to listen to their friends.
+Tim and Lily were best friends. They liked to play outside and look at the stars. One night, they saw a bright light in the sky. It was a comet.
+
+"Wow, look at that!" Tim said. "It is so great and shiny. It must be a star that is falling."
+
+"No, it is not a star," Lily said. "It is a comet. A comet is a big ball of ice and dust that goes around the sun. Sometimes it comes close to the earth and we can see it."
+
+Tim and Lily disagreed. They both thought they were right. They started to argue.
+
+"That is silly, Lily. How can a ball of ice and dust be so bright? It has to be a star," Tim said.
+
+"That is silly, Tim. How can a star fall? It has to be a comet," Lily said.
+
+They were so busy arguing that they did not notice their mom calling them.
+
+"Tim, Lily, come inside. It is time for bed," mom said.
+
+But Tim and Lily did not hear her. They kept on arguing.
+
+"Star!"
+
+"Comet!"
+
+"Star!"
+
+"Comet!"
+
+Mom came outside and saw them. She was not happy.
+
+"Tim, Lily, stop arguing. You are both wrong. It is not a star or a comet. It is a firework. Someone is having a party. Now come inside and brush your teeth," mom said.
+
+Tim and Lily looked at each other. They felt silly. They had wasted their time arguing over something that was not true. They said sorry to each other and followed mom inside. They decided to learn more about stars and comets tomorrow.
+Tom liked to fly his kite on sunny days. His kite was ordinary, with a red and blue diamond and a long tail. He would run with his kite in the park and watch it soar in the sky. He felt happy when his kite flew high and fast.
+
+One day, he saw a girl with a different kite. Her kite was not ordinary, it was shaped like a butterfly. It had yellow and purple wings and glittery eyes. It looked very pretty and shiny. Tom wanted to see it closer, but he was shy.
+
+The girl saw Tom and his kite. She smiled and waved at him. She said, "Hi, I'm Lily. Do you want to fly kites with me?" Tom nodded and walked over to her. He said, "Hi, I'm Tom. Your kite is very nice." Lily said, "Thank you. Your kite is nice too. Do you want to try it?" Tom said, "Yes, please." They swapped kites and ran together in the park.
+
+They had fun flying each other's kites. They learned how to make them go higher and lower, and how to make them loop and spin. They laughed and talked and became friends. They decided to include each other in their kite-flying games from then on. They did not care if their kites were ordinary or not, they just cared if they were fun.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to dig holes and look for bugs and stones. One day, they found a big jar buried in the dirt. It was brown and shiny and had a lid on it.
+
+"Wow, look at this!" Lily said. "What do you think is inside?"
+
+"I don't know. Maybe candy or toys or coins," Ben said. "Let's open it and see."
+
+They tried to lift the jar, but it was very heavy. They pulled and pushed, but it did not move. They asked their mom for help, but she was busy in the kitchen.
+
+"Maybe we need a magic word," Lily said. "Like abracadabra or please or open sesame."
+
+They tried different words, but nothing happened. They were about to give up, when they heard a loud pop. The lid flew off the jar, and a cloud of smoke came out. They coughed and blinked, and then they saw something amazing.
+
+A fairy appeared in front of them. She had wings and a dress and a wand. She smiled and said, "Hello, children. I'm Flora, the fairy of the jar. You have freed me from my prison, and I'm very grateful. As a reward, I will grant you each one wish. What do you want?"
+
+Lily and Ben were so surprised and happy, they did not know what to say. They looked at each other, and then at the fairy. They had so many ideas, but they also had a question.
+
+"Flora, why were you in the jar?" Lily asked.
+
+The fairy sighed and said, "A long time ago, a mean witch trapped me in the jar and buried me in the garden. She was jealous of my magic and wanted to keep me away from the world. She said only someone who could say the right word could open the jar and free me. But no one ever found me, until you did."
+
+Lily and Ben felt sorry for the fairy. They decided they did not want to be selfish and ask for something for themselves. They wanted to do something nice for the fairy.
+
+"Flora, we have a wish," Ben said. "We wish you could be free and happy and have friends and fun. We wish you could fly and use your magic and see the world. We wish you could be a fairy again."
+
+The fairy's eyes sparkled and she hugged them. She said, "Thank you, children. You are very kind and generous. You have given me the best gift ever. I will always remember you and your wish. And I will also give you a gift. Whenever you need me, just say my name and I will appear. I will be your fairy friend forever."
+
+Lily and Ben smiled and said, "Thank you, Flora. We are glad we met you. We will be your friends forever too."
+
+They watched as the fairy flew away, leaving a trail of glitter and magic. They waved and said, "Goodbye, Flora. See you soon."
+
+They put the jar back in the hole and covered it with dirt. They did not want anyone else to find it and try to take the fairy away. They went back to their house and told their mom about their adventure. She did not believe them, but she was happy to see them happy. They had a big hug and a snack, and then they went to play some more. They knew they had a secret and a friend that no one else had. They knew they had a fairy in a jar.
+Once upon a time, there was a unique building. It was a building like no other buildings. It had funny shaped windows and colourful walls. 
+
+Inside the building, there lived little Peter. Peter was ever so curious, always wanting to explore and discover what the building had to offer. But the building refused to let him explore it, no matter how much he asked.
+
+One day, Peter was outside the building and he saw a tall man. The man asked him if he wanted to come inside and explore the building. Peter was so excited, he said yes right away.
+
+The tall man took Peter's hand and they both walked inside. Peter was so happy he couldn't believe his luck. He ran inside every room and explored, learning all sorts of things.
+
+But then one day, the tall man came back. He asked Peter if he wanted to leave and Peter said he wanted to stay. He refused to go, he wanted to keep exploring. 
+
+The tall man thought this was quite amusing and smiled. He said he should stay, since the building was so unique, it was hard to find buildings like this!

+Once upon a time, there were two friendly foxes, Chris and Jess. They were best friends and loved to explore the forest together. 
+
+One day, they both stumbled upon a huge pile of colourful rocks. Chris’ eyes widened, for he had never seen something so amazing. “Look, Jess! What should we do?†he asked.

+Jess was excited too, and was unsure of what to do. “Let’s trade!â€, she suggested. “I’ll trade my white rock for your green one.â€
+
+Chris happily agreed and soon, the two foxes were happily swapping rocks with each other. It was so much fun to trade! 
+
+Suddenly, with a loud snap, a breaking sound came from within the pile. The snaps continued, and all of their rocks started to fall apart! 
+
+Chris and Jess looked at each other and shook their heads. They had realised their mistake. They had grown too greedy, trading too many rocks and had forgotten to be content with what they already had.
+
+The two foxes had learned the important moral that we must all share, trade and care. To be content with what we already have is far more important than to get something new - or even something amazing!

+Ben shakes his head. He says, "No, Sam. You were not clever. You ate too fast and did not chew well. You made Mom scared. You made yourself suffer. You have to learn your lesson. You only get one sausage today. I get two sausages, because I am clever. I eat slowly and chew well. I do not make Mom scared. I do not make myself suffer. I enjoy my sausages."
+
+Sam feels worse. He has no more sausages. He is hungry and sad. He wishes he was clever like Ben. He says, "I am sorry, Mom. I am sorry, Ben. I will be clever next time. I will eat slowly and chew well. I will not make you scared. I will not make myself suffer. I will enjoy my sausages."
+
+Mom and Ben hug Sam. They say, "We love you, Sam. We are glad you are okay. We hope you will be clever next time. We will share our sausages with you. But you have to wait until they are cool. And you have to eat slowly and chew well. Okay?"
+
+Sam nods. He says, "Okay. Thank you, Mom. Thank you, Ben. You are very nice. I love you too."
+
+They all smile and eat their sausages. They are a happy family.

+Lia and Ben are friends who live in a small village near the forest. They like to play outside and explore new places. One day, they find a big pile of leaves under a tree. They think it looks like a fun place to hide and jump.
+
+"Let's remove some leaves and make a fort!" Lia says.

+Lily loved to play with her toy dragon. She named him Spike and he was green and soft. She liked to make him fly and roar and breathe fire. She was very proud of her dragon.
+
+One day, Lily took Spike outside to play in the garden. She saw some pretty flowers and picked one for Spike. She put it in his mouth and said, "Look, Spike, you have a snack!"
+
+But Spike did not like the flower. It made his nose tickle and his eyes water. He tried to spit it out, but it was too late. He sneezed very loud and very hard. He sneezed so hard that he blew the flower away and made a big hole in the fence.
+
+Lily was scared and surprised. She ran to Spike and hugged him. She said, "Are you okay, Spike? That was a big sneeze!"
+
+Spike felt sorry and sad. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I didn't mean to sneeze so hard. I don't like flowers. They make me sneeze."

+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play in their room. They had many toys and books and games, but they also liked to pretend with the furniture. Sometimes they made a fort with the chairs and blankets, or a castle with the bed and pillows, or a spaceship with the table and boxes.
+
+One day, their mom said they had to share their room with their baby brother, Max. She said he needed a crib and a dresser and a changing table, and they had to move some of their furniture to the basement. Tom and Lily were very grumpy. They did not want to share their room with Max. They did not want to lose their furniture. They did not want to change their games.
+
+"Mom, we don't like this!" Tom said. "We want our room back!"
+
+"Mom, we don't need Max!" Lily said. "We have each other!"
+
+Mom sighed and hugged them. "I know you are grumpy, but you have to accept this. Max is your brother and he loves you. He needs a place to sleep and to grow. You can still play with your toys and books and games, and you can still pretend with the furniture in the basement. It will be fun, I promise."
+
+Tom and Lily looked at each other. They did not want to hurt Mom's feelings, but they did not want to give up their room. They did not know what to do.
+
+Then they heard a noise from the crib. It was Max, waking up from his nap. He smiled and reached out his arms. He made a cute sound, like "goo-goo".

+
+They smiled back at him. They tickled him and hugged him. They said "Hi, Max!"
+
+They realized that Max was not so bad. He was their brother and he loved them. He needed a place to sleep and to grow. They could still play with their toys and books and games, and they could still pretend with the furniture in the basement. It would be fun, they thought.
+
+They looked at Mom and said "We accept this. We love Max. We will share our room with him."
+
+Mom smiled and kissed them. She said "I'm so proud of you. You are such good twins. You will have so much fun with Max. He will learn from you and play with you. You will be the best siblings ever."

+
+The driver hears the noise. He comes to the park. He sees the dog and the kids.
+
+"Hey, stop that, dog! You are scaring the kids and ruining the balloons!" the driver says. He chases the dog away. He goes to Sara and Tom.
+
+"I'm sorry, kids. That was a naughty dog. He should not have done that. Are you okay?" the driver asks.
+
+Sara and Tom nod. They wipe their tears.
+
+"I have more balloons in the truck. Do you want another one?" the driver asks.
+
+Sara and Tom smile. They nod again.
+
+"Yes, please!" they say.
+
+The driver gives them another balloon each. He also gives them a sticker and a candy.

+
+They hug the driver. They wave goodbye. They go back to the swings. They swing high and low. They feel the wind in their hair and their lungs. They are happy.

+
+Lily and Ben wanted to play with the monkey. They went closer to the cage and tried to make noises. "Ooh ooh!" Lily said. "Aah aah!" Ben said. The monkey looked at them and smiled. He threw the banana peel at them. Lily and Ben laughed.
+

+
+Mom and dad were surprised and worried. They looked at the mud and saw the bear. It was still there, but it was calm. It licked the mud off its fur and face. It looked sad and lonely. It wanted to play.
+
+Mom and dad said to Tom and Lily, "That bear is not ugly. It is just different. It lives in the woods and eats honey and fish. It does not know how to play with sticks and mud. Maybe it was curious and wanted to join you. But you poked it and hurt it. That was not nice. You should say sorry to the bear."
+
+Tom and Lily felt sorry. They nodded and said, "Okay." They walked to the mud and saw the bear. It looked at them and sniffed. It did not roar or growl. It waited.
+
+Tom and Lily said to the bear, "We are sorry, bear. We did not mean to poke you and make you mad. We were playing with the mud. We did not know you were there. We want to be your friend. Can we play with you?"
+
+The bear nodded and smiled. It did not mind. It wanted to be their friend. It said to Tom and Lily, "I am sorry, too. I did not mean to scare you and make you cry. I was curious about the mud. I did not know you were playing. I want to play with you, too. Can we share the mud?"
+
+Tom and Lily nodded and smiled. They did not mind. They wanted to share the mud. They said to the bear, "Yes, we can share the mud. We can poke it and splash it and make shapes. We can have fun."

+
+"Look, Anna, a bee!" Lily said, holding Anna close to a yellow flower. "The bee likes the flower. It makes honey."
+
+But the bee did not like Anna. It buzzed angrily and flew at Anna's face. It stung Anna's nose. Anna's nose became red and swollen. Lily screamed and dropped Anna. Mommy ran to Lily and hugged her.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Lily cried. "The bee hurt Anna! Anna is sad!"
+
+Mommy looked at Anna. She saw the sting on her nose. She felt sorry for Lily and Anna.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily. The bee was scared of Anna. It did not mean to hurt her. Let me take out the sting. It will feel better soon." Mommy said, gently pulling out the sting with a tweezer.
+
+Lily sniffed and wiped her tears. She looked at Anna. Anna still had a smile, but her nose was big and red.
+
+"Anna is ugly now." Lily said, sadly. "I don't like her anymore."
+
+Mommy shook her head. She did not like what Lily said.
+
+"Anna is not ugly, Lily. She is still your favorite doll. She is still your friend. You should not say that you don't like her anymore. That is not nice." Mommy said, sternly.
+
+Lily felt ashamed. She knew Mommy was right. She loved Anna. She did not want to hurt her feelings.
+
+"I'm sorry, Anna. I do like you. You are still pretty. You are still my friend." Lily said, softly. She hugged Anna and kissed her nose.
+
+Anna smiled. She was happy that Lily still liked her. She did not mind her red nose. She knew it would go away soon.
+
+Mommy smiled too. She was proud of Lily. She gave Lily and Anna a kiss.
+
+"That's better, Lily. I'm glad you said sorry to Anna. You are a good girl. Now, let's go home and put some ice on Anna's nose. It will make it feel better." Mommy said, kindly.
+
+Lily nodded. She held Anna tight. She did not want to let her go. She did not want to replace her with another doll. She was her favorite. She was her friend.
+Lily liked to sing. She had a microphone that she got for her birthday. She sang every day in her room. She sang happy songs and sad songs and silly songs.
+
+One day, her brother Tom came into her room. He was mean. He said, "Lily, you sing very bad. You make my ears hurt. You should quit singing. You have an ugly voice."
+
+Lily felt sad. She loved singing. She said, "Tom, you are not nice. You make my heart hurt. I will not quit singing. I have a beautiful voice."
+
+Tom laughed. He said, "No, you don't. You sound like a frog. Give me your microphone. I will sing better than you."
+
+He grabbed the microphone from Lily. He tried to sing, but he sounded worse than a frog. He sounded like a cat with a sore throat.
+
+Lily laughed. She said, "Tom, you sing very bad. You make my ears hurt. You should quit singing. You have an ugly voice."
+
+Tom felt mad. He threw the microphone on the floor. He ran out of the room.

+Tim and Sue like to play with their toy cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They make noises and pretend to drive them on the floor. Sometimes they share their cars, and sometimes they fight over them.
+
+One day, Tim sees a new car that Sue has. It is red and shiny, and it has a whip on the back. Tim thinks it is very cool. He wants to play with it. He asks Sue, "Can I have your car, please?"
+
+Sue says, "No, it is mine. You have your own cars. Go away." She holds the car close to her chest.
+
+Tim feels frustrated. He thinks Sue is mean and selfish. He tries to grab the car from her. Sue pulls it back. They tug and pull, and shout at each other.
+
+Then, Tim gets angry. He pushes Sue hard. Sue falls down and hits her head on the table. She cries out loud. The car flies out of her hands and breaks into pieces.
+
+Mom hears the noise and comes running. She sees Sue bleeding and Tim holding a whip. She is very mad. She scolds Tim and takes him to his room. She says, "You are a bad boy. You hurt your sister and broke her car. You are not allowed to play with any cars for a week. Go to bed now."
+
+Tim feels sad and sorry. He wishes he had not pushed Sue and broken her car. He wishes he had been nice and shared. He cries in his bed. He has no cars and no friends. He has a bad day.
+Lily was sick. She had a fever and a cough. Mommy put a thermometer in her mouth to check her temperature. Lily did not like the thermometer. It was cold and hard. She wanted to spit it out.
+
+"Keep it in, Lily. I need to see how hot you are," Mommy said. She looked at the clock. She had to wait for two minutes.
+
+Lily was bored. She looked around her room. She saw her teddy bear on the bed. She loved her teddy bear. She wanted to hug it. She tried to reach for it, but she was too far. She stretched her arm, but she was clumsy. She knocked over her glass of water on the nightstand. The water spilled on the floor and on the thermometer.
+
+"Oh no!" Mommy said. She grabbed the thermometer and looked at it. It was broken. The glass was cracked and the mercury was leaking. "Lily, you broke the thermometer! This is dangerous. You could have hurt yourself or swallowed the mercury. Why did you do that?"
+
+Lily felt sorry. She did not mean to break the thermometer. She just wanted her teddy bear. She started to cry. "I'm sorry, Mommy. I wanted my teddy bear. I don't like the thermometer. It makes me sad."
+
+Mommy hugged Lily and wiped her tears. She was not angry, but she was worried. She threw away the broken thermometer and got a new one. She put it in Lily's ear. It beeped after a few seconds. "You still have a fever, Lily. You need to rest and drink lots of water. And you need to be careful with the thermometer. It is not a toy. It is a tool to help you get better."
+
+Lily nodded. She learned her lesson. She lay down on the bed and cuddled with her teddy bear. She said sorry to the thermometer. She hoped it would forgive her. She closed her eyes and fell asleep. Mommy kissed her forehead and smiled. She hoped Lily would feel better soon.
+Ben and Lily liked to play outside when it was sunny. They had a big yard with a swing, a slide and a sandbox. They also had a fat cat named Fluffy, who liked to nap under the tree.
+
+One day, the sky became dark and cloudy. Ben and Lily heard a loud noise. It was thunder. They saw a bright flash. It was lightning. They were scared and ran inside the house. Fluffy followed them, but he was too fat to run fast. He got wet from the rain.
+
+Mommy was in the kitchen. She saw Ben and Lily and hugged them. She said, "Don't worry, it's just a storm. It will be over soon." She gave them some cookies and milk. She said, "Let's make something fun while we wait. Do you want to make a picture with crayons?"
+
+Ben and Lily nodded. They liked to make pictures. They went to the living room and got their crayons and paper. They started to draw. Ben drew a sun and a rainbow. Lily drew a flower and a butterfly. Fluffy came too and lay down on the couch. He licked his wet fur.
+
+The storm passed and the sun came out again. Mommy said, "Look, your pictures came true!" She pointed to the window. Ben and Lily saw a sun and a rainbow in the sky. They also saw a flower and a butterfly in the yard. They were happy and clapped their hands. Fluffy woke up and meowed. He was happy too. He liked the sun. He jumped off the couch and ran outside. He was not too fat to run now. He chased the butterfly. Ben and Lily followed him. They played outside until it was time for dinner.
+Tom and Lily were playing with their toy train on the floor. They liked to make the train go fast and slow, and make noises like "choo-choo" and "beep-beep". They had a lot of fun with their train.
+
+But then, their mom came in and said, "It's time to go to bed, kids. You have to shut your eyes and sleep now. You can play with your train again tomorrow."
+
+Tom and Lily did not want to go to bed. They wanted to play more. They said, "No, mom, we are not tired. We want to play with our train. Please, mom, just a little more."
+
+Mom shook her head and said, "No, kids, you have to go to bed now. It's late and you need to rest. Come on, I will help you get ready. You can bring your train with you if you want."
+
+Tom and Lily sighed and followed their mom. They picked up their train and carried it to their room. Mom helped them put on their pajamas and brush their teeth. Then, she tucked them in their beds and gave them a kiss. She put their train on the rail next to their beds, so they could see it.
+
+"Good night, kids," mom said. "I love you. Have sweet dreams."
+
+"Good night, mom," Tom and Lily said. "We love you too."
+
+Mom turned off the light and shut the door. Tom and Lily looked at their train and smiled. They felt the soft pillow under their heads and the warm blanket over their bodies. They closed their eyes and fell asleep. They dreamed of riding their train to many places. They were happy.
+Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play with cars and trucks. One day, they find a big box of money in the garage. They are very happy and want to buy more toys.
+
+They take some money and go to the store. They see many things they like: a red bike, a blue train, a yellow ball. They want to buy them all. But the store man says they have to yield. Yield means to wait and let others go first. There are many people in the store who want to buy things too.
+
+Tom and Sam do not like to yield. They want to buy everything now. They push and shout and grab. The store man is angry. He says they are bad boys. He takes the money and the toys away from them. He tells them to go home.
+
+Tom and Sam are sad and mad. They walk home with nothing. They see a thin dog on the street. The dog is hungry and cold. He has no home and no toys. He looks at them with big eyes.
+
+Tom and Sam feel sorry for the dog. They remember they still have a lot of money in the garage. They decide to share some money with the dog. They buy him some food and a blanket. They give him a hug and a name. They call him Spot.
+
+Spot is very happy. He wags his tail and licks their faces. He follows them home. Tom and Sam are happy too. They have a new friend. They learn to yield and to share. They play with Spot and their old toys. They do not need more toys. They have enough.
+Lily liked to play with her round ball. It was red and shiny and bounced high. She took it to the park with her mom and dad. They had fun throwing and catching the ball.
+
+But then a big dog came. It saw the ball and ran after it. It grabbed the ball with its teeth and ran away. Lily tried to chase the dog, but it was too fast. She could not get her ball back.
+
+Lily was very sad. She started to weep. She wanted her ball. It was her favorite toy. Her mom and dad hugged her and tried to make her feel better. They said they would buy her a new ball.
+
+They went to the toy store and looked for a ball. There were many balls, but none like Lily's. Some were too big, some were too small, some were not round, some were not shiny. Lily did not like any of them.
+
+Then she saw a modern ball. It was round and shiny, but it was not red. It was blue and green and yellow. It had lights and sounds and buttons. It looked very fun. Lily touched it and it made a beep.
+
+Lily smiled. She liked the modern ball. She asked her mom and dad if she could have it. They said yes. They bought the modern ball and gave it to Lily. Lily hugged the ball and thanked them.
+
+Lily was happy. She forgot about her old ball. She played with her modern ball. It bounced high and made noises. She took it to the park with her mom and dad. They had fun throwing and catching the ball.
+
+The end.
+Ben and Jen are twins. They like to play on the farm with their dad and mom. They have many animals on the farm: cows, pigs, chickens, and a dog. But they do not have a goat.
+
+One day, dad says, "I have a surprise for you. We are going to buy a goat today. Do you want to come with me?" Ben and Jen are very happy. They say, "Yes, yes, we want to see the goat!"
+
+They get in the truck and drive to the market. There are many people and things at the market. They see fruits, vegetables, bread, cheese, and flowers. They also see many animals: horses, sheep, rabbits, and goats. Dad stops at a stall where a man has many goats. He says, "Hello, I want to buy a goat. Do you have a good one for me?"
+
+The man shows dad different goats. He says, "This one is strong, this one is fast, this one is smart, and this one is friendly." But dad does not like any of them. He says, "They are all nice, but I want a special goat for my twins. Do you have a special goat?"
+
+The man thinks for a while. Then he says, "I have one more goat, but he is very dull. He does not do anything. He just sits and eats grass. He does not run, jump, or play. He does not make any noise. He is not strong, fast, smart, or friendly. He is just dull. Do you want to see him?"
+
+Dad says, "Yes, let me see him." The man takes dad, Ben, and Jen to a corner where a dull goat is sitting and eating grass. He does not look at them. He does not care. He is just dull.
+
+Ben and Jen look at the dull goat. They think he is very funny. They laugh and say, "He is so dull! He is so silly! We like him! Can we have him, dad?" Dad smiles and says, "Yes, you can have him. He is your special goat. What do you want to name him?"
+
+Ben and Jen think for a while. Then they say, "We want to name him Dull. He is our dull goat. We love him!" They hug the dull goat and he does not mind. He is just dull.
+
+Dad pays the man and they take the dull goat to the truck. They drive back to the farm. They show the dull goat to mom and the other animals. They say, "This is Dull. He is our dull goat. He is very funny and silly. We love him!"
+
+Mom and the other animals are surprised. They do not understand why Ben and Jen like the dull goat. But they are happy for them. They say, "Welcome, Dull. You are part of our family now. We hope you like it here."
+
+The dull goat does not say anything. He just sits and eats grass. He is just dull. But he is happy too. He has a new home and new friends. He likes Ben and Jen. They are his special twins. He loves them.
+Jen and Ben are twins. They like to play in the kitchen. They see a big jar on the shelf. The jar has cookies inside. Jen and Ben love cookies.
+
+"Let's get the jar," Jen says. "We can have a snack."
+
+"OK," Ben says. "But be careful. The jar is high and heavy."
+
+Jen climbs on a chair. She reaches for the jar. She grabs it with both hands. But the jar is too heavy for her. She loses her balance. She falls off the chair. The jar falls with her. It breaks on the floor. Cookies and glass fly everywhere.
+
+"Ow!" Jen cries. "That hurts!"
+
+"Jen!" Ben shouts. He runs to help her. He sees blood on her arm. He sees glass on the floor. He is scared.
+
+"Mom!" Ben yells. "Mom, come quick! Jen fell and broke the jar!"
+
+Mom hears Ben. She comes to the kitchen. She sees the mess. She sees Jen and Ben. She is worried.
+
+"Oh, no!" Mom says. "What happened here?"
+
+She picks up Jen. She hugs her. She checks her arm. She sees a small cut. She gets a band-aid. She puts it on Jen's arm.
+
+"It's OK, Jen," Mom says. "You'll be fine. It's just a little cut. But you should not play with the jar. It's not a toy. It's dangerous."
+
+"I'm sorry, Mom," Jen says. "I wanted a cookie."
+
+Mom smiles. She kisses Jen. She puts her down. She looks at Ben.
+
+"Are you OK, Ben?" Mom asks.
+
+"I'm OK, Mom," Ben says. "But I'm sorry, too. I wanted a cookie, too."
+
+Mom smiles again. She kisses Ben. She hugs him. She gets a broom. She sweeps the glass. She throws it away. She picks up the cookies. She puts them in a bowl.
+
+"It's OK, kids," Mom says. "You made a mistake. But you learned a lesson. Next time, ask me for a cookie. Don't try to get the jar by yourself. It's not normal. It's risky."
+
+She gives Jen and Ben a cookie each. They say thank you. They eat their cookies. They feel better. They hug Mom. They say sorry again. Mom says she loves them. They love her, too. They are happy. They are normal.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to look for bugs and flowers. They saw a cricket on a leaf. It was green and shiny.
+
+"Wow, look at the cricket!" Tom said. "It can jump very high. I want to catch it."
+
+He reached out his hand to grab the cricket. But Lily stopped him.
+
+"No, Tom, don't catch the cricket!" Lily said. "It is not nice. The cricket wants to be free. Let it go."
+
+Tom was angry. He wanted to catch the cricket. He pushed Lily away.
+
+"Go away, Lily!" Tom said. "You are not my friend. I can do what I want."
+
+Lily was sad. She ran away crying. Tom felt bad. He did not mean to hurt Lily. He looked at the cricket. It was still on the leaf. It did not look happy.
+
+Tom thought for a moment. He decided to let the cricket go. He opened his hand and the cricket jumped away. Tom felt happy. He did the right thing.
+
+He ran after Lily. He found her under a tree. She was still crying.
+
+"Lily, I'm sorry," Tom said. "I was wrong. You are my friend. I love you. Can you forgive me?"
+
+Lily looked at Tom. She saw that he was sorry. She smiled.
+
+"Of course I can forgive you, Tom," Lily said. "I love you too. You are my friend. Come on, let's play."
+
+They hugged and made up. They played in the garden. They saw more bugs and flowers. They were happy. The cricket was happy too. It sang a song. The end.
+Sara and Tom were playing with blocks. They wanted to build a big tower. Sara had a notebook and a ruler. She liked to measure the blocks and write the numbers in her notebook. Tom did not have a notebook or a ruler. He just liked to stack the blocks and see how high they could go.
+
+"Look, Sara, I made a taller tower than you!" Tom said, pointing to his blocks.
+
+Sara looked at Tom's tower and frowned. She took her ruler and measured Tom's tower. Then she measured her own tower. She wrote the numbers in her notebook.
+
+"No, Tom, your tower is not taller. Your tower is 12 inches and my tower is 13 inches. See, I wrote it in my notebook. My tower is taller!" Sara said, showing Tom her notebook.
+
+Tom did not like what Sara said. He felt angry and sad. He did not care about the numbers. He just wanted to have fun. He pushed Sara's tower and made it fall. Sara's blocks and notebook scattered on the floor.
+
+"Tom, why did you do that? That was mean and rude! You made my tower fall and you broke my notebook!" Sara cried, picking up her things.
+
+Tom felt sorry for what he did. He saw Sara's tears and heard her cry. He realized he was wrong. He wanted to say sorry, but he did not know how.
+
+"Sara, I'm sorry. I was grumpy and jealous. I should not have pushed your tower or broken your notebook. Can you forgive me? Can we be friends again?" Tom said, looking at Sara with a sad face.
+
+Sara looked at Tom and saw his sad face. She felt sorry for him too. She knew he did not mean to hurt her. She wanted to be friends again.
+
+"Tom, I forgive you. I was grumpy and bossy too. I should not have bragged about my tower or shown you my notebook. Can we share the blocks and the notebook? Can we build a tower together?" Sara said, smiling at Tom.
+
+Tom smiled back at Sara. He nodded and hugged her. They picked up the blocks and the notebook. They decided to work together and build a bigger and better tower. They learned to be kind and respectful to each other. They had more fun and were happier.
+Tim and Lily were twins who liked to play and share. One day, their mom baked some pastries for them. She gave them each a plate with two pastries, one round and one long.
+
+"Be careful, they are hot," mom said. "And don't eat them all at once, or you will get a tummy ache."
+
+Tim and Lily nodded and thanked mom. They waited for the pastries to cool down. Then they took a bite of the round one. It was soft and sweet and had jam inside. They liked it very much.
+
+They looked at the long one. It was rough and brown and had seeds on top. They did not like it very much.
+
+"I don't want this one," Tim said. "You can have it, Lily."
+
+Lily shook her head. "No, thank you. I don't want it either. You can have it, Tim."
+
+They both pushed the long pastry to the other's plate. They did not want to eat it. They wanted another round one.
+
+They looked at mom. She was busy in the kitchen. They thought she would not notice if they took another round pastry from the tray.
+
+They got up and sneaked to the tray. They each grabbed a round pastry and ran back to their seats. They smiled and bit into the pastry.
+
+But it was not soft and sweet and jammy. It was hard and sour and spicy. They made a face and spit it out. They did not like it at all.
+
+They looked at the tray again. They saw that mom had made two kinds of round pastries. One kind was for them, and one kind was for dad. Dad liked hard and sour and spicy pastries. They had taken the wrong ones.
+
+They felt bad and sorry. They had been greedy and sneaky. They had not listened to mom. They had wasted the pastries.
+
+They went to mom and told her what they did. They said they were sorry and asked for forgiveness.
+
+Mom hugged them and said she forgave them. She said they should always be honest and grateful and respectful. She said they should try new things and not judge by the looks. She said she loved them no matter what.
+
+Tim and Lily nodded and said they understood. They said they loved mom too. They said they would eat the long pastry and try to like it. They said they would not be greedy and sneaky again.
+
+They ate the long pastry. It was not so bad. It was crunchy and nutty and had honey inside. They liked it a little bit.
+
+They learned a lesson that day. They learned to be happy with what they have and not to want more. They learned to be good and kind and listen to mom. They learned to love and share and enjoy.
+Tom was a frog who liked to hop. He hopped all day long, from the pond to the grass, from the grass to the tree, from the tree to the rock. He had many friends who hopped with him, like Sam the rabbit and Pat the grasshopper. They had fun hopping and playing games.
+
+One day, Tom saw a big red ball in the yard. He wanted to hop on it and see how high he could go. He said goodbye to his friends and hopped towards the ball. He did not see the cat who was hiding behind the fence. The cat saw Tom and licked his lips. He wanted to catch Tom and eat him.
+
+Tom reached the ball and jumped on it. He felt a big bounce and flew up in the air. He was happy and laughed. He did not see the cat who jumped out of the fence and ran after him. The cat was fast and angry. He wanted to grab Tom and bite him.
+
+Tom landed on the ball again and bounced up. He saw the cat who was close to him. He was scared and cried. He did not know what to do. He looked around and saw his friends who were watching him. They saw the cat and shouted. They wanted to help Tom and save him.
+
+Sam, Pat and the other friends hopped towards the ball and the cat. They made loud noises and kicked the ball. The ball rolled away and took Tom with it. The cat was surprised and lost his balance. He fell off the fence and landed on the ground. He was hurt and ran away.
+
+Tom was safe and happy. He thanked his friends and hugged them. They were brave and smart. They hopped back to the pond and played more games. They had a tough day, but they had each other. They were the best hoppers in the world.
+Ben was sick. He had a sore throat and a fever. He did not want to eat or play. He only wanted to lie on his bed with his pillow. His mom gave him some medicine, but it tasted bad. He spit it out and cried.
+
+"Ben, you have to take your medicine. It will make you feel better," his mom said.
+
+"No, no, no! I don't like it! It's yucky!" Ben said.
+
+His mom was frustrated. She tried to be patient, but Ben was very stubborn. She did not know what to do. She decided to leave him alone for a while. She hoped he would calm down and change his mind.
+
+She went to the kitchen to make some soup. She thought soup would be good for Ben's throat. She did not hear Ben crying anymore. She thought he fell asleep. She was wrong.
+
+Ben was not asleep. He was angry. He did not want to be sick. He did not want to take his medicine. He did not want to stay on his bed. He wanted to go outside and play. He got up and sneaked out of his room. He put on his shoes and coat. He opened the door and ran outside.
+
+It was cold and windy. Ben did not care. He felt free and happy. He ran to the park. He saw some kids playing on the swings and slides. He wanted to join them. He did not notice the signs that said "Closed for repairs".
+
+He climbed on the slide. He did not see the hole on the top. He slipped and fell. He hit his head on the ground. He felt a sharp pain. He screamed.
+
+The other kids heard him. They ran to him. They saw blood on his head. They were scared. They called for help.
+
+His mom heard the sirens. She looked out the window. She saw an ambulance and a police car. She saw Ben on a stretcher. She dropped the soup. She ran outside. She was terrified.
+
+She got to Ben. She saw his face. He was pale and still. He did not open his eyes. He did not say a word. He did not suffer anymore. He was gone.
+Tom and Anna were twins. They liked to play with their toys in their room. One day, their mom gave them a new toy. It was a tall candle with a shiny star on top. Mom said, "This is a special candle for Christmas. You can display it on the window sill, but you must never touch it or light it. It is very hot and dangerous."
+
+Tom and Anna nodded. They put the candle on the window sill and admired it. It looked very pretty in the sun. They went back to playing with their other toys. But Tom was curious. He wanted to see the candle up close. He waited until Anna was busy with her doll, and then he climbed on a chair and reached for the candle.
+
+"Tom, what are you doing?" Anna asked, seeing him. "Mom said not to touch the candle!"
+
+Tom ignored her. He grabbed the candle and lifted it. But it was heavier than he thought. He lost his balance and fell off the chair. The candle fell with him and hit the floor. The star broke off and the wax spilled everywhere.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Tom cried, feeling the hot wax on his hand. "It hurts, it hurts!"
+
+Anna ran to him and hugged him. She was scared and sorry. She called for mom. Mom came running and saw the mess. She was angry and worried. She took Tom to the bathroom and put his hand under cold water. She said, "Tom, you were very naughty and foolish. You could have burned yourself or the house. You must never play with fire or candles. Do you understand?"
+
+Tom nodded, sobbing. He said, "I'm sorry, mom. I'm sorry, Anna. I just wanted to see the star."
+
+Mom sighed. She said, "I know, Tom. But the star is not a toy. It is a symbol of hope and joy. You can see it better from far away, not from close up. Next time, listen to me and be careful."
+
+She kissed him and bandaged his hand. She said, "Now, let's clean up the mess and find another place to display the candle. Maybe on the mantel, where you can't reach it."
+
+Tom and Anna agreed. They helped mom clean up the floor and the window sill. They moved the candle to the mantel and put the broken star next to it. They said, "We're sorry, candle. We won't touch you again. You're still very pretty."
+
+The candle seemed to sparkle a little. It was glad that Tom and Anna learned their lesson. It hoped that they would have a merry Christmas.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with dolls and cars. Lily has a big dollhouse. Ben has a fast car. They share their toys and have fun.
+
+One day, Lily's mom says, "Lily, we have to go to the store. Can you provide your dollhouse to Ben for a little time? He can play with it while we are gone."
+
+Lily says, "Okay, mom. Ben, you can play with my dollhouse. But be careful. Don't break anything."
+
+Ben says, "Thank you, Lily. I will be careful. Your dollhouse is very nice. I wish I had one too."
+
+Lily and her mom go to the store. Ben plays with the dollhouse. He pretends that the dolls are his family. He makes them talk and laugh. He likes the dollhouse a lot.
+
+But then, he sees a new toy in the window. It is a big truck. It has lights and sounds. It can carry many things. Ben wants the truck. He thinks it is better than the dollhouse. He feels envious.
+
+He says, "I don't like the dollhouse anymore. I want the truck. The truck is more fun. The truck is mine."
+
+He leaves the dollhouse and runs to the window. He tries to grab the truck. But the truck is not his. It belongs to the store. The store owner sees him and says, "Hey, kid. What are you doing? You can't take that truck. It is not yours. You have to pay for it."
+
+Ben is scared. He drops the truck and runs away. He goes back to the dollhouse. He feels sorry. He says, "I was wrong. The dollhouse is nice. The dollhouse is Lily's. I should not be envious. I should be happy with what I have."
+
+He waits for Lily and her mom to come back. He hopes they will not be angry. He hopes they will still be friends. He learns a lesson. He says, "I will not be envious again. I will provide my car to Lily for a little time. We can play with both toys and have fun."
+Lily and Tom were twins who liked to play in the garden. One day, they saw a big hole in the ground. They wondered what was inside.
+
+"Let's dig and find out," Tom said. He took a shovel and started to dig.
+
+"Be careful, Tom. Maybe there is something scary in there," Lily said. She took a bucket and helped him.
+
+They dug and dug until they saw something brown and hairy. It was a root. But not a normal root. It was very big and had eyes and a mouth.
+
+"Hello, children," the root said in a mysterious voice. "Do you want to play with me?"
+
+Lily and Tom were very surprised and scared. They dropped their tools and ran away.
+
+"Wait, don't go," the root said. "I'm lonely and bored. I've been waiting for someone to dig me out."
+
+But Lily and Tom did not hear him. They ran to their house and told their mom what they saw.
+
+Their mom did not believe them. She thought they were making up stories. She told them to go back to the garden and prepare for lunch.
+
+Lily and Tom did not want to go back. They were afraid of the root. But they had no choice. They took their plates and forks and walked slowly to the garden.
+
+They hoped the root was gone. But it was not. It was still there, smiling and waving.
+
+"Hello, children," the root said again. "I'm glad you came back. I have a surprise for you. Do you want to see?"
+
+Lily and Tom did not want to see. They screamed and ran away again.
+
+The root was sad and confused. He did not understand why they were afraid of him. He only wanted to show them his treasure. He had found a shiny stone in the hole. He thought they would like it.
+
+But they did not. They never came back. They never played with him. They never saw his treasure.
+
+The root was alone and bored again. He wished he had a friend.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and laugh. They saw a little path that went to the woods. They wanted to explore.
+
+"Let's go and see what is there," Lily said.
+
+"OK, but we have to be careful," Tom said.
+
+They held hands and walked on the path. They saw trees and flowers and birds. They heard a sound like water. They followed the sound and found a creek.
+
+"Wow, look at the creek!" Lily said. "It is lovely. It is clear and shiny and makes a nice noise."
+
+"Can we touch it?" Tom asked.
+
+"Maybe, but we have to be gentle," Lily said.
+
+They went closer to the creek. They saw fish and frogs and stones. They dipped their fingers in the water. It was cold and wet and tickled them.
+
+They smiled and giggled. They played with the water and the stones. They made splashes and ripples. They had fun.
+
+Then they heard a voice.
+
+"Lily! Tom! Where are you?" It was their mom.
+
+They turned and saw her. She looked worried.
+
+"Mom, we are here!" Lily shouted.
+
+"Mom, we found a creek!" Tom shouted.
+
+Their mom came to them. She saw the creek and the water and the stones.
+
+She was not angry. She was happy.
+
+She hugged them and kissed them.
+
+"I'm glad you are safe and having fun," she said. "But you have to tell me before you go to the woods. It can be dangerous."
+
+"Sorry, mom," Lily and Tom said.
+
+They told her about the creek and the fish and the frogs. She listened and smiled.
+
+She said they could play a little more, but then they had to go back.
+
+They agreed and thanked her.
+
+They played some more with the creek. They were happy.
+
+They loved the creek. They loved their mom. They loved each other.
+Lily and Sam went to the park with Mom. They saw a pond with many ducks. Lily and Sam liked the ducks. They wanted to feed them bread.
+
+"Can we feed the ducks, Mom?" Lily asked.
+
+"Sure, but be careful. Don't go too close to the water," Mom said.
+
+Lily and Sam took some bread from Mom and broke it into small pieces. They threw the pieces to the ducks. The ducks came closer and ate the bread. They quacked and flapped their wings.
+
+One duck was very curious. It wanted more bread. It swam to the edge of the pond and walked out of the water. It followed Lily and Sam. It pecked at their shoes and clothes.
+
+"Hey, duck, stop that!" Sam said. He tried to shoo the duck away.
+
+But the duck did not listen. It kept pecking. Sam got angry. He pushed the duck with his hand.
+
+"Quack!" The duck cried. It fell back into the water. It splashed and shook its head.
+
+"Sam, don't push the duck! That's not nice!" Lily said. She was sad for the duck.
+
+"Sorry, duck. I didn't mean to hurt you," Sam said. He felt sorry too.
+
+The duck swam away from Sam. It looked at him with one eye. It did not trust him.
+
+"Come on, let's go to the swings," Mom said. She took Lily and Sam by the hand. They left the pond and the ducks.
+
+Lily and Sam learned a lesson. They learned to be gentle with the ducks. They learned that ducks are curious, but not bad. They learned that pushing is not a good way to solve problems.
+Tom is a cat. He likes to lie on the sofa and rub his fur. He is an ordinary cat, but he has a big dream. He wants to fly like a bird.
+
+One day, he sees a bird outside the window. The bird is blue and yellow. It sings a pretty song. Tom wants to talk to the bird. He jumps off the sofa and runs to the window. He meows loudly.
+
+"Hello, bird! I am Tom. Can you teach me how to fly?" he asks.
+
+The bird looks at Tom and laughs. "You are a cat. You cannot fly. You have no wings. You have paws. You are silly," the bird says.
+
+Tom feels sad and angry. He is not silly. He is smart. He has a dream. He does not give up. He thinks of a plan.
+
+He finds a big box in the garage. He cuts two holes in the box. He puts his paws through the holes. He finds some feathers and glue. He sticks the feathers to the box. He makes wings.
+
+He puts the box on his back. He feels proud. He looks like a bird. He runs to the window. He sees the bird again. He meows loudly.
+
+"Look, bird! I have wings. I can fly. I am not silly. I am clever," he says.
+
+The bird looks at Tom and shakes his head. "You are a cat. You cannot fly. You have a box. You have feathers. You are funny," the bird says.
+
+Tom does not listen. He jumps out of the window. He tries to flap his wings. He falls to the ground. He hurts his nose. He cries.
+
+The bird flies down to Tom. He feels sorry for him. He sings a soft song. He says, "You are a cat. You cannot fly. But you have a big heart. You have a big dream. You are brave. You are special."
+
+Tom stops crying. He looks at the bird. He smiles. He says, "Thank you, bird. You are kind. You are a good friend. Maybe I cannot fly. But I can lie on the sofa and rub my fur. I am an ordinary cat. But I am happy."
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they go on a big trip with their moms. They take a bus to the zoo. They are very happy.
+
+At the zoo, they see many animals. They see lions, monkeys, elephants, and more. They want to see the giraffes. They run to the giraffe house. But Anna trips on a rock. She falls and hurts her knee. She cries.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Anna says. "My knee is red and sore!"
+
+Ben sees Anna. He cares for her. He runs to her and hugs her. He says, "Don't cry, Anna. I am here. You will be okay."
+
+He helps her stand up. He takes her to his mom. His mom has a band-aid. She puts it on Anna's knee. She says, "There, there. You are brave, Anna. The band-aid will make your knee better."
+
+Anna smiles. She says, "Thank you, Ben. Thank you, mom. You are nice. You are my friends."
+
+Ben smiles, too. He says, "You are welcome, Anna. You are my friend, too. Do you still want to see the giraffes?"
+
+Anna nods. She says, "Yes, I do. Let's go!"
+
+They hold hands and walk to the giraffe house. They see the giraffes. They are very tall and have long necks. They feed them some leaves. They have fun.
+
+They enjoy their big trip to the zoo. They are happy. They are friends.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They saw a big blue tent. They wanted to enter the tent and see what was inside.
+
+"Can we go in?" Lily asked Ben.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe it belongs to someone," Ben said.
+
+"Let's ask Mom," Lily said.
+
+They ran to the house and found Mom in the kitchen. They told her about the blue tent.
+
+"Who does it belong to?" Mom asked.
+
+"We don't know. Can we enter it?" Lily asked.
+
+Mom thought for a moment. She said, "You can enter it, but only if you are careful and respectful. Don't touch anything that is not yours. And don't stay too long. Someone might need the tent."
+
+Lily and Ben thanked Mom and ran back to the garden. They entered the blue tent. It was dark and cozy inside. They saw a sleeping bag, a lantern, a book, and a bottle of water.
+
+"Wow, this is cool," Ben said.
+
+"Shh, don't be loud. Someone might hear us," Lily said.
+
+They looked around the tent. They were curious, but they remembered Mom's words. They did not touch anything that was not theirs.
+
+They saw a small hole in the roof of the tent. They saw a drop of water fall from the hole. They realized the tent had a leak.
+
+"Oh no, the tent is leaking," Lily said.
+
+"That's not good. The sleeping bag and the book might get wet," Ben said.
+
+"We should tell someone. Maybe they can fix the leak," Lily said.
+
+They exited the blue tent. They looked for the owner of the tent. They saw a man walking towards them. He had a backpack and a hat.
+
+"Hello, kids. What are you doing here?" the man asked.
+
+"Hello, sir. We are sorry. We entered your tent. We wanted to see what was inside. But we did not touch anything. We were careful and respectful," Lily said.
+
+The man smiled. He said, "That's very nice of you. Thank you for being honest and polite. Did you like my tent?"
+
+"Yes, we did. But we have to tell you something. Your tent has a leak. There is a hole in the roof. The water might damage your things," Ben said.
+
+The man looked surprised. He said, "Oh, thank you for telling me. I did not know that. I will fix the leak as soon as possible. You are very kind and helpful."
+
+He gave them each a candy. He said, "Here, this is for you. You are good kids. You have learned a valuable lesson today. Always ask before you enter someone's property. And always tell the truth if you see a problem. You have done the right thing."
+
+Lily and Ben smiled. They said, "Thank you, sir. You are very nice. We have learned a valuable lesson today. We will always ask before we enter someone's property. And we will always tell the truth if we see a problem. We have done the right thing."
+
+They waved goodbye to the man. They ran back to the house. They told Mom what happened. Mom hugged them. She said, "I am proud of you. You have shown respect, honesty, and kindness. You have made a new friend. And you have enjoyed a new adventure. Well done, my sweeties."
+Dan was a doctor. He helped people who were sick or hurt. He liked his job, but he loved his wife more. His wife was Lisa. She was a teacher. She taught little kids how to read and write.
+
+One day, Dan came home from work. He saw Lisa on the couch. She looked very pale and tired. She had a fever and a cough. Dan was worried. He said, "Lisa, you are sick. You need to rest and drink water. I will take care of you."
+
+Lisa smiled weakly. She said, "Thank you, Dan. You are a great husband. But I don't want to miss school. The kids need me."
+
+Dan shook his head. He said, "Lisa, you can't go to school when you are sick. You need to heal first. The kids will understand. They want you to be well."
+
+Lisa nodded. She said, "You are right, Dan. I will stay home and rest. I love you."
+
+Dan hugged Lisa. He said, "I love you too. I will make you some soup and tea. You will feel better soon."
+
+Dan and Lisa were happy. They had each other. They helped each other. They were a great team.
+Sara and Ben like to play with chalk on the sidewalk. They draw flowers, stars, and animals with many colors. They have fun and share their chalk.
+
+One day, a big cloud comes and it starts to rain. Sara and Ben run inside their house. They look out the window and see their chalk drawings get wet. The rain makes the colors run and fade.
+
+"Oh no, our drawings are gone!" Sara says. She feels sad.
+
+"Maybe we can draw again when the rain stops," Ben says. He tries to cheer up Sara.
+
+They wait and wait, but the rain does not stop. It gets dark and they have to go to bed.
+
+The next morning, Sara and Ben go outside. They see their chalk box on the sidewalk. It is soaked and soggy. The chalk is soft and crumbly.
+
+"Look, our chalk is ruined!" Ben says. He feels angry.
+
+"Who left our chalk outside?" Sara says. She feels confused.
+
+They see Tom, the boy who lives next door. He has a big smile on his face.
+
+"Hi, Sara and Ben. I like your chalk. Can I have some?" Tom says. He reaches for the chalk box.
+
+"No, you can't!" Sara and Ben say together. They grab the chalk box and hold it tight.
+
+"Why not? It's just chalk. You can't use it anymore. It's wet and rough," Tom says. He tries to pull the chalk box.
+
+"Yes, we can! It's our chalk. You can't have it. You left it outside in the rain. You are mean," Sara and Ben say. They push Tom away.
+
+Tom gets mad and runs away. He shouts, "You are not nice. You are not my friends."
+
+Sara and Ben look at each other. They feel sorry for Tom. They think maybe they can share some of their chalk with him. They think maybe they can be friends. They run after Tom and call his name.
+Sara and Ben are playing in the garden. They see a shiny thing under a big rock. Sara wants to see it. She moves the rock and picks up the shiny thing. It is a crystal. It has many colors and shapes.
+
+"Wow, look at this!" Sara says. "It is so pretty!"
+
+Ben wants to see it too. He runs to Sara and tries to grab the crystal. Sara does not want to share. She holds the crystal tight and runs away. Ben follows her.
+
+"Give it to me!" Ben says. "It is mine!"
+
+"No, it is mine!" Sara says. "I found it first!"
+
+They run and run until they reach the porch. Mom is sitting on a chair. She is reading a book. She sees Sara and Ben. They are yelling and fighting. She is not happy.
+
+"Stop!" Mom says. "What are you doing?"
+
+Sara and Ben stop. They look at Mom. They are anxious. They know they are in trouble.
+
+"We are sorry, Mom," Sara says. "We found a crystal and we both wanted it."
+
+Mom looks at the crystal. She smiles. She knows it is not a real crystal. It is a toy. She bought it for them yesterday.
+
+"It is a nice crystal," Mom says. "But it is not worth fighting over. You can both play with it. But you have to share and be kind. Do you understand?"
+
+Sara and Ben nod. They feel sorry. They hug Mom and say sorry. Mom hugs them back and says it is okay. She gives them the crystal and tells them to play nicely. Sara and Ben say thank you. They go back to the garden. They sit on the grass and look at the crystal. They take turns holding it and admiring it. They are happy. They are friends.
+Mia and Leo were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and look for bugs and stones. Mia found a shiny stone that was round and smooth. She showed it to Leo.
+
+"Look, Leo, I found a pretty stone. It is shiny and smooth. Do you like it?" Mia asked.
+
+Leo nodded. He liked the stone too. He wondered what it was. He remembered that his grandma had a book with pictures of old things. Maybe the stone was an old thing.
+
+"Let's bring the stone to grandma. Maybe she knows what it is. Maybe it is an ancient thing. Ancient means very, very old. Like the dinosaurs," Leo said.
+
+Mia agreed. They ran to the house with the stone. They found grandma in the kitchen. She was making soup. She had a big bowl with vegetables and water on the stove.
+
+"Grandma, grandma, look what we found. We found a shiny stone. Is it an ancient thing?" Leo asked.
+
+Grandma smiled. She took the stone and looked at it. She was surprised. She recognized the stone. It was not a stone. It was a coin. A very old coin.
+
+"Wow, this is not a stone. This is a coin. A very old coin. An ancient coin. This coin is from a long time ago, when people used different money. This coin is very rare and valuable. Where did you find it?" Grandma asked.
+
+"We found it in the garden. We were digging in the dirt. Can we keep it?" Mia asked.
+
+Grandma nodded. She was proud of Mia and Leo. They had made a great discovery. She hugged them and gave them each a cookie.
+
+"Of course you can keep it. It is yours. You found it. But you have to be careful with it. It is very old and fragile. You can put it in a bowl and keep it in your room. But don't play with it or lose it. It is a special coin. An ancient coin," Grandma said.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They are three years old. Today is their birthday. They are very happy. They want to celebrate with cake and balloons.
+
+"Look, Mommy, look!" Anna says. She points to the big watch on the wall. "It is time for cake!"
+
+"Yes, it is, sweetie," Mommy says. She smiles and brings the cake to the table. The cake has four candles. Two for Anna and two for Ben.
+
+"Can I blow the candles, Mommy?" Ben asks. He likes to blow things.
+
+"Of course, honey," Mommy says. She helps Ben and Anna sit on their chairs. "But be careful, okay? The candles are hot."
+
+Mommy lights the candles. Anna and Ben clap their hands. They see the flames dance on the cake.
+
+"Happy birthday, Anna and Ben!" Mommy says. She sings a song. Anna and Ben sing with her.
+
+"Make a wish, make a wish!" Anna says. She closes her eyes and thinks of something nice.
+
+Ben closes his eyes too. But he is careless. He leans too close to the cake. He feels the heat on his nose.
+
+"Ouch!" Ben says. He opens his eyes and cries. He touches his nose. It hurts.
+
+"Oh, no, Ben!" Mommy says. She runs to him and hugs him. She blows on his nose. "I'm sorry, honey. Are you okay?"
+
+Anna looks at Ben. She feels sorry for him. She wants to make him happy.
+
+"Here, Ben, here," Anna says. She gives him a piece of cake. "This will make you feel better. It is yummy."
+

+
+Mommy smiles too. She is proud of Anna and Ben. She gives them both a kiss.

+Lily liked to make jam with her mom. They picked red berries from the garden and cooked them in a big pot. Lily helped to stir the jam and fill the jars. She was very careful not to spill or burn herself.
+
+One day, Lily wanted to surprise her mom with a jam sandwich. She took a jar of jam from the shelf and a knife from the drawer. She got some bread and put it on a plate. She opened the jar and tried to spread the jam on the bread. But the jam was too thick and sticky. She pushed harder with the knife, but the jam did not move.
+
+Lily felt frustrated. She wanted to make a nice sandwich for her mom. She did not notice that the jar was tipping over the edge of the table. She did not hear her mom call her name from the other room.
+
+Suddenly, the jar fell to the floor and broke. Jam splashed everywhere. Lily gasped and dropped the knife. She looked at the mess and felt scared. She did not know what to do.
+
+She heard her mom's footsteps coming closer. She wanted to hide, but it was too late. Her mom saw the broken jar, the jam, and the knife. She looked at Lily with a stern face.
+
+"Lily, what have you done?" she asked.
+
+Lily started to cry. She wanted to say sorry, but she could not find the words. She hoped her mom would not be too angry with her. She hoped her mom would still love her.
+Tom and Sue are young bunnies who love to hop. They hop in the grass, they hop in the mud, they hop on the rocks. They hop all day long and have fun.
+
+One day, they see a big hill. They want to hop on the hill and see what is on the other side. They hop and hop and hop until they reach the top. They look around and see a jolly farm. They see cows, pigs, chickens, and ducks. They see a big red barn and a green tractor.
+
+"Wow, look at all the animals!" Tom says.
+
+"Let's go and say hello!" Sue says.
+
+They hop down the hill and hop to the farm. They hop to the cows and moo. They hop to the pigs and oink. They hop to the chickens and cluck. They hop to the ducks and quack. The animals are surprised and happy to see the bunnies. They make friends and play together.
+
+Tom and Sue have a jolly time at the farm. They hop and hop and hop until they are tired. They say goodbye to the animals and hop back to the hill. They hop and hop and hop until they reach their home. They cuddle with their mom and dad and tell them about their adventure.
+
+They are happy bunnies who love to hop.
+Ben and Lily are twins. They like to play in the kitchen. One day, they find a big box of pasta. They open the box and pour the pasta on the floor. They make shapes and letters with the pasta. They have fun.
+
+Mom is in the living room. She does not see what Ben and Lily are doing. She calls them for lunch. "Ben, Lily, come here. It is time to eat." She says.
+
+Ben and Lily hear Mom. They run to the living room. They leave the pasta on the floor. They do not clean up.
+
+Mom sees Ben and Lily. She smiles. She sees the pasta on the floor. She does not smile. She is angry. "What is this? Why did you make a mess with the pasta?" She asks.
+
+Ben and Lily look at Mom. They look at the pasta. They are sorry. They say, "We are sorry, Mom. We wanted to play with the pasta. We did not mean to make a mess."
+
+Mom sighs. She says, "I understand. But you have to clean up after you play. Pasta is for eating, not for playing. Come on, let's pick up the pasta and put it back in the box. Then we can have lunch."
+
+Ben and Lily nod. They say, "OK, Mom. We will help you." They go to the kitchen. They pick up the pasta and put it back in the box. They say sorry to the pasta. They hug Mom. They have lunch. They eat pasta. They are happy.
+Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. Lily had a doll and Ben had a car. They were having fun until Ben saw Lily's watch on the table.
+
+"Can I play with your watch?" Ben asked.
+
+"No, it's mine. Mommy gave it to me for my birthday. You have your car," Lily said.
+
+"But I want to see the time. It's shiny and pretty. Please, Lily, let me have it," Ben begged.
+
+Lily shook her head. "No, Ben, you can't. It's not a toy. It's a watch. You might break it."
+
+Ben got angry. He grabbed the watch and ran away. Lily chased him and tried to get it back. They ran around the house, shouting and pushing. Mommy heard them and came to see what was wrong.
+
+"Stop it, both of you! What are you doing?" Mommy asked.
+
+"Lily won't let me play with her watch. It's not fair," Ben said.
+
+"Ben took my watch. He might break it. It's dead," Lily said.
+
+Mommy looked at the watch. It was not working. The hands were not moving. Ben had dropped it and cracked the glass.
+
+"Ben, you were very naughty. You quit playing with your car and took Lily's watch without asking. You broke it. It's dead. You have to say sorry to Lily and give her a hug," Mommy said.
+
+Ben felt bad. He knew he had done something wrong. He said sorry to Lily and gave her a hug. Lily forgave him and hugged him back.
+
+"Mommy, can you fix my watch? I like it very much," Lily asked.
+
+Mommy smiled. "I'll try, sweetie. Maybe Daddy can help. He knows how to fix things. But for now, why don't you and Ben play nicely with your toys? And next time, share and ask before you take something that belongs to someone else, okay?"
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They went back to the living room and played with their toys. They did not fight anymore. They were happy.
+Lila and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to spin on the merry-go-round. They spun faster and faster until they felt dizzy and laughed.
+
+"Look, Lila, what is that?" Ben said, pointing to something shiny on the grass.
+
+Lila got off the merry-go-round and ran to see. It was a jewel. It was red and sparkly. It looked like a star.
+
+"Wow, it is so pretty!" Lila said. "Where did it come from?"
+
+"I don't know. Maybe someone dropped it. Maybe it is magic." Ben said.
+
+Lila picked up the jewel and held it in her hand. It felt warm and smooth. She put it in her pocket.
+
+"Can I see it?" Ben asked.
+
+"OK, but be careful. It is mine." Lila said. She showed him the jewel.
+
+"It is nice. Can I have it?" Ben asked.
+
+"No, it is mine. I found it." Lila said.
+
+"But I saw it first." Ben said.
+
+They started to argue. They both wanted the jewel.
+
+"Stop, stop!" a voice said. It was Mom. She had come to pick them up.
+
+"What is going on? Why are you fighting?" Mom asked.
+
+They told her about the jewel. Mom looked at it.
+
+"It is very pretty, but it is not yours. It belongs to someone else. You have to give it back." Mom said.
+
+"But we found it. We want to keep it." Lila and Ben said.
+
+"No, you can't. It is not fair. Someone might be looking for it. Someone might be sad. How would you feel if you lost something you liked?" Mom said.
+
+Lila and Ben thought about it. They felt sorry. They did not want to make someone sad.
+
+"OK, Mom. We will give it back. But where?" Lila asked.
+
+"Let's go to the lost and found. Maybe they know who it is." Mom said.
+
+They went to the lost and found. They gave the jewel to the lady. She thanked them.
+
+"You are very kind and honest. You did the right thing." She said.
+
+She gave them a sticker each. They were happy.
+
+They went back to the park. They spun on the merry-go-round again. They felt comfortable and good. They did not need the jewel. They had each other.
+Lily loved to sing. She had a beautiful voice and a microphone that her mom gave her. She liked to sing in her room and pretend she was a star.
+
+One day, her brother Ben came into her room. He was angry. He wanted to play with the microphone. He said it was his turn.
+
+"No, it's mine!" Lily said. "Mom gave it to me. Go away!"
+
+Ben did not go away. He grabbed the microphone from Lily's hand. He pulled hard and Lily pulled back. They fought over the microphone.
+
+"Stop it!" Mom said. She heard the noise and came into the room. She saw Lily and Ben fighting. She was not happy.
+
+She took the microphone from them. She said they had to share. She said they had to be nice to each other. She said they had to support each other.
+
+Lily and Ben felt sorry. They said sorry to Mom. They said sorry to each other. They hugged.
+
+Mom smiled. She gave the microphone back to Lily. She said Lily could sing for a while. She said Ben could listen and clap.
+
+Lily sang a song. She sang with her beautiful voice. Ben listened and clapped. He said Lily was a good singer. He said he was proud of her.
+
+Lily smiled. She said Ben was a good brother. She said she loved him.
+
+They were happy. They supported each other. Mom was happy too. She said they were good kids. She said she loved them.
+Ben and Mia were twins who liked to play in their room. They had many toys and books, but they also liked to climb on the furniture. They learned how to jump from the bed to the chair, and from the chair to the table. They thought it was fun and exciting.
+
+One day, their mom told them to put on their coats and hats, because they were going to the park. Ben and Mia were happy, because they loved the park. They ran to the door, but they forgot to tidy up their room. The toys and books were still on the floor, and the furniture was not in its place.
+
+At the park, Ben and Mia had a lot of fun. They played on the swings, the slide, and the seesaw. They met some new friends and shared their snacks. They did not notice that the sky was getting dark and the wind was getting cold.
+
+"Ben, Mia, it's time to go home!" their mom called. "It's going to rain soon, and it's very cold!"
+
+Ben and Mia did not want to leave, but they knew they had to listen to their mom. They said goodbye to their friends and followed their mom to the car. They were shivering and sniffling.
+
+When they got home, they ran to their room, hoping to get warm and cozy. But they were shocked to see what was waiting for them. The furniture was all wet and muddy, and the toys and books were ruined. The window was open, and the rain had poured in.
+
+"What happened?" Ben cried.
+
+"Mia, look at our stuff!" Ben said.
+
+They realized that they had left the window open when they climbed on the furniture. They had not closed it before they went to the park. They had not learned to be careful and responsible.
+
+They felt very sad and sorry. They hugged each other and said, "We're sorry, mom. We're sorry, furniture. We're sorry, toys and books. We learned our lesson. We will never do it again."
+Lily was a humble girl who liked to draw and print. She had many papers with her prints of flowers, animals and stars. She was proud of her prints and wanted to share them with her friends.
+
+One day, she took her prints to school and showed them to her teacher and her classmates. They all said nice things and smiled at her. Lily was very happy and put her prints on the wall.
+
+But then, a mean boy came and tore her prints from the wall. He laughed and said they were ugly and silly. He threw them on the floor and stepped on them. Lily was very sad and angry. She ran to her teacher and told her what the boy did.
+
+The teacher was very sorry and scolded the boy. She told him to say sorry to Lily and to help her pick up her prints. The boy was ashamed and did what the teacher said. He said sorry to Lily and gave her back her prints.
+
+Lily looked at her prints. They were wrinkled and dirty. She felt like weeping. But then, she saw that some of her prints were still okay. She smiled and thanked the boy. She said she forgave him and asked him if he wanted to be her friend. The boy nodded and smiled. He said he liked her prints and asked her if she could teach him how to draw and print. Lily agreed and they went to the corner to draw and print together. They became good friends and shared their prints with each other.
+Tom was a bald man who liked to read books. He had a big lamp next to his bed that gave him light. Every night, he would turn on the lamp and read a book until he felt sleepy.
+
+One night, he heard a knock on his door. He put down his book and went to see who it was. He opened the door and saw a little girl with curly hair and a pink dress. She was holding a teddy bear.
+
+"Hello, who are you?" Tom asked.
+
+"Hi, I'm Lily. I live next door. Can I come in?" the girl said.
+
+"Sure, come in. What do you want?" Tom said.
+
+"I want to see your lamp. It's so bright and shiny. Can I touch it?" Lily said.
+
+Tom smiled and led her to his bedroom. He showed her his lamp and let her touch it. Lily was amazed by the lamp. She turned it on and off, and watched the light change.
+
+"This is a nice lamp. Can I have it?" Lily asked.
+
+"No, you can't have it. It's mine. I need it to read books," Tom said.
+
+"Please, can I have it? I'll give you my teddy bear. He's very soft and cuddly," Lily said.
+
+"No, thank you. I don't want your teddy bear. I want my lamp. You have to yield it to me," Tom said.
+
+"Yield? What does that mean?" Lily asked.
+
+"It means to give up or let go. You have to yield the lamp to me, because it's mine and not yours," Tom explained.
+
+Lily frowned and pouted. She didn't want to yield the lamp to Tom. She liked the lamp too much. She hugged the lamp and said, "No, I won't yield it to you. It's mine now. You can have my teddy bear."
+
+Tom was annoyed and tried to take the lamp from Lily. They both pulled and tugged at the lamp, until it fell to the floor and broke. The light went out and the room became dark.
+
+They both gasped and looked at the broken lamp. They felt sad and sorry. They realized they had been selfish and silly.
+
+"I'm sorry, Tom. I shouldn't have asked for your lamp. It was very rude of me," Lily said.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily. I shouldn't have been so mean to you. It was very unkind of me," Tom said.
+
+They hugged and said they were sorry. They decided to share the teddy bear and read a book together. They used a flashlight to see the words. They learned to be nice and friendly to each other. They became good friends.
+Ben and Lily liked to play with their model cars. They had many cars of different colors and sizes. They made roads and bridges with blocks and paper. They pretended to drive their cars to different places.
+
+One day, Ben found a new model car in his toy box. It was very unique. It had four big wheels, a long nose, and a shiny horn. Ben showed it to Lily and said, "Look, I have a special car. It can go very fast and make loud noises."
+
+Lily looked at the car and said, "That's not a car, Ben. That's a train. Cars don't have horns like that. And they don't run on tracks. They run on roads."
+
+Ben did not believe Lily. He said, "No, it's a car. And it's better than your cars. Watch, I'll show you." He put the car on the floor and pushed it hard. He made a sound like a horn. "Toot, toot!"
+
+But the car did not go very fast. It bumped into a block and fell over. Ben tried to pick it up, but the horn broke off. Ben was sad. He said, "Oh no, my car is broken. Now it's not special anymore."
+
+Lily felt sorry for Ben. She said, "Don't be sad, Ben. It's still a car. And it's still unique. It's the only car with a broken horn. And it's still your car. I like your car, Ben. Do you want to play with it together?"
+
+Ben smiled. He said, "Yes, I do. Thank you, Lily. You're a good friend." He gave Lily the car and they played with it together. They laughed and had fun. They did not care if it was a car or a train. They just liked to play.
+Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play outside with their toys. But today, the sky is gray and it is raining. They cannot go outside.
+
+"Mom, we are bored!" Sara says. "Can we go to the store and buy something fun?"
+
+"Sorry, sweeties, we cannot go to the store today. The store is closed because of the rain. And we have to stay home and be safe." Mom says.
+
+Sara and Ben are sad. They look out the window and see the raindrops. They wish they could see the sun.
+
+"Maybe we can make our own sun," Ben says. He has an idea. He runs to his room and gets some paper and crayons. He gives some to Sara.
+
+"Let's draw a sunrise!" he says. "A sunrise is when the sun comes up and makes the sky bright and colorful."
+
+Sara likes the idea. She and Ben start to draw. They use yellow, orange, pink, and purple crayons. They make big circles for the sun and long lines for the rays. They make clouds and birds and trees.
+
+They are happy with their drawings. They show them to Mom.
+
+"Wow, these are beautiful!" Mom says. "You made your own sunrise. You are very creative and smart."
+
+Sara and Ben smile. They hang their drawings on the wall. They feel warm and cozy. They do not mind the rain anymore. They have their own sun.
+Lily and Ben were friends. They liked to play and hug. One day, they went to the lake with their moms. The lake was big and blue. Lily and Ben wanted to swim.
+
+"Can we swim, mom?" Lily asked.
+
+"Yes, but be careful. Stay close to me and wear your floaties," Lily's mom said.
+
+"Can we swim, mom?" Ben asked.
+
+"Yes, but be careful. Stay close to me and wear your floaties," Ben's mom said.
+
+Lily and Ben put on their floaties and went into the water. They splashed and laughed. They had fun.
+
+But then, Ben saw a duck. The duck was yellow and cute. Ben wanted to touch the duck.
+
+"Look, Lily, a duck! I want to hug it!" Ben said.
+
+"No, Ben, don't! The duck might bite you!" Lily said.
+
+But Ben did not listen. He swam away from his mom and Lily. He swam to the duck. He reached out his hand to hug the duck.
+
+But the duck did not like that. The duck was scared and angry. The duck bit Ben's hand. Ben cried out in pain. He let go of the duck. He tried to swim back to his mom and Lily.
+
+But he was too far. He was tired and hurt. His floaties did not help him. He sank under the water. He could not breathe.
+
+Lily and Ben's moms saw what happened. They screamed and ran to the water. They tried to save Ben. But it was too late. Ben was gone.
+
+Lily was sad. She lost her friend. She wished Ben had been kind to the duck. She wished Ben had stayed with her. She wished she could hug Ben again.
+Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play in the garden. They had a big dog named Max who was black and furry. Max liked to run and jump and chase balls, but sometimes he was restless and barked a lot.
+
+One day, Ben and Lily found a big box in the garage. They decided to make a fort with it. They cut out a door and a window and drew pictures on the walls. They brought some pillows and blankets and toys inside. They were very proud of their fort.
+
+"Let's play in our fort, Lily!" Ben said.
+
+"OK, Ben! But we have to be quiet, or Max will find us," Lily said.
+
+They crawled into their fort and pretended to be spies. They whispered and giggled and made up stories. They did not hear Max sniffing and scratching outside.
+
+Max was curious. He smelled something new and interesting. He wanted to see what was in the box. He pushed and pawed and tore at the cardboard. He made a big hole and stuck his head inside.
+
+"Surprise!" he barked.
+
+Ben and Lily screamed. They were scared and angry. Max had ruined their fort. They threw pillows and toys at him. Max thought they were playing. He wagged his tail and jumped around.
+
+"Go away, Max! Bad dog!" Ben shouted.
+
+"Leave us alone, Max! No more fort!" Lily cried.
+
+Max did not understand. He was sad and confused. He wanted to play with his friends. He lay down on the ground and whimpered.
+
+Ben and Lily felt sorry for Max. They saw that he was lonely and bored. They realized that he did not mean to spoil their fun. They crawled out of their fort and hugged him.
+
+"It's OK, Max. We're not mad at you," Ben said.
+
+"We still love you, Max. You can play with us," Lily said.
+
+They gave him a ball and threw it for him. Max was happy. He chased the ball and brought it back. He licked their faces and wagged his tail. They played together until it was time for dinner.
+
+They had a new idea. They took the broken box and made a bed for Max. They put some pillows and blankets and toys inside. They wrote "Max's House" on the side.
+
+"Look, Max! This is your house. You can sleep here," Ben said.
+
+"Isn't it nice, Max? You can be cozy and warm," Lily said.
+
+Max sniffed and wagged. He liked his house. He crawled inside and lay down. He was not restless anymore. He was calm and content.
+
+Ben and Lily smiled. They were happy too. They had a good day. They had a fort, a dog, and each other. They said good night to Max and went inside with their mom and dad. They had sweet dreams.
+Tim and Lily were playing with their toy cars in the garden. They had a big box of fuel to make their cars go fast. Fuel was just water in a bottle, but they liked to pretend it was something else.
+
+"Vroom, vroom, my car is the fastest!" Tim said, as he poured some fuel into his red car.
+
+"No, mine is faster!" Lily said, as she poured some fuel into her blue car.
+
+They raced their cars on the grass, making loud noises and laughing. They had a lot of fun.
+
+But then, Tim was clumsy. He tripped over a rock and spilled his fuel all over the ground. His car stopped moving.
+
+"Oh no, my fuel is gone!" Tim cried. He was sad.
+
+Lily saw what happened. She felt sorry for Tim. She had an idea.
+
+"Hey, Tim, don't be sad. You can share my fuel. I have plenty." Lily said. She smiled at Tim.
+
+"Really? You would share with me?" Tim asked. He looked at Lily.
+
+"Of course. You are my friend. Friends share." Lily said. She gave Tim some of her fuel.
+
+"Thank you, Lily. You are very kind." Tim said. He smiled back at Lily.
+
+They poured some fuel into their cars and raced again. They were happy.
+Ben and Lily were twins who lived in a big house on a hill. They liked to play outside and gaze at the valley below. They could see many things: trees, flowers, animals, and a river.
+
+One day, they decided to go down the hill and explore the valley. They asked their mom if they could go, and she said yes, but they had to be careful and come back before dark. They put on their hats and shoes and ran down the hill.
+
+They had fun in the valley. They picked some berries, chased some butterflies, and splashed in the river. They saw a big bridge that crossed the river and wanted to go over it. But when they got closer, they saw that the bridge was old and weak. Some of the planks were broken and some of the ropes were loose.
+
+Ben was brave and said he wanted to cross the bridge. Lily was scared and said he shouldn't. She said the bridge might fall and he might get hurt. Ben said he was not afraid and he could do it. He said Lily was a baby and he was a big boy.
+
+He stepped on the bridge and started to walk. Lily watched him and felt worried. She wanted him to come back. She called his name and told him to stop. But Ben did not listen. He wanted to show Lily that he was strong and brave.
+
+He walked halfway across the bridge, but then he heard a loud crack. One of the planks snapped and he lost his balance. He screamed and grabbed a rope, but the rope was weak too. It broke and he fell into the river. Lily saw him fall and screamed too. She ran to the edge of the bridge and looked for him. She saw him in the water, struggling and crying. She was very scared and did not know what to do. She wished their mom was there to help them.
+Lily likes to mail letters to her grandma. She draws pictures of her toys, her dog and her family. She puts them in envelopes and sticks stamps on them. She asks her mom to help her write grandma's name and address.
+
+Every week, Lily and her mom go to the big blue box on the street. Lily holds her letters and climbs up the steps. She opens the slot and puts her letters inside. She hears them fall with a thud. She smiles and says, "Bye bye, letters!"
+
+Lily waits for grandma's letters to come back. She checks the mailbox every day with her mom. Sometimes there are bills, flyers and magazines. But sometimes there are letters for Lily. They have stickers, hearts and grandma's handwriting.
+
+Lily loves to open grandma's letters. She tears the envelope and pulls out the paper. She feels the smooth paper and sees the colorful pictures. Grandma writes about her garden, her cat and her trips. She also writes how much she loves Lily and misses her.
+
+Lily hugs the letter and says, "I love you, grandma!" She runs to her room and puts the letter on her wall. She looks at all the letters from grandma and feels happy. She can't wait to mail more letters and get more letters back.
+Ben and Mia were best friends. They liked to play in the park and share their toys. One day, they found a shiny coin on the ground. Ben put it in his pocket and said, "This is our lucky coin. We can use it to buy ice cream or candy."
+
+Mia nodded and smiled. She wanted to buy ice cream with Ben. They held hands and walked to the ice cream truck. But on the way, a big dog ran towards them. It barked and growled and showed its teeth. Ben and Mia were scared and ran away. The dog chased them and bit Ben's leg. Ben cried out in pain and dropped the coin. The dog picked up the coin and ran away.
+
+Mia tried to help Ben, but she was too small and weak. She could not stop the bleeding or carry Ben to a safe place. She felt helpless and sad. She wished someone would come and save them. She looked around and saw no one. She hugged Ben and said, "I'm sorry, Ben. I'm sorry we lost our lucky coin. I'm sorry the dog hurt you. I wish we could dream of a better day."
+
+But no one heard them. No one came. Ben and Mia were alone and in trouble. The dog had taken their lucky coin and their happiness. They could not buy ice cream or candy. They could not play in the park or share their toys. They could only cry and wait for the night to come. The night was cold and dark and scary. Ben and Mia did not dream of a better day. They only dreamed of the big dog and the shiny coin. They had a bad ending.
+Lily was a little girl who loved flowers. She liked to smell them, touch them, and look at their colors. One day, she saw a big, white flower in the garden. It was a lily, like her name.
+
+She ran to the flower and said, "Hello, lily! You are so pretty and delicate. Can I pick you and take you home?"
+
+The lily did not answer, but Lily thought she heard a soft voice in her ear. It said, "No, please don't pick me. I like to stay in the garden with my friends. If you pick me, I will die soon."
+
+Lily felt sad. She wanted to have the lily, but she did not want to hurt it. She asked, "Can I lift you and smell you, then?"
+
+The lily said, "Yes, you can do that. But be gentle and careful. Don't break me or pull me out of the ground."
+
+Lily nodded and smiled. She lifted the lily with her small hands and brought it close to her nose. She breathed in the sweet scent and said, "You smell so good, lily. Thank you for letting me lift you."
+
+The lily said, "You are welcome, Lily. Thank you for being kind and respectful. You are a good girl."
+
+Lily put the lily back in its place and gave it a kiss. She said, "Goodbye, lily. I will come back and visit you again."
+
+The lily said, "Goodbye, Lily. I will be happy to see you again."
+Lily and Ben are twins who live on a farm with their mom and dad. They like to help with the animals and the plants, but they also like to play and have fun. One day, they find a big hose in the barn and decide to make a game with it.
+
+"Let's pretend we are firefighters and the hose is our water gun," says Lily. "We can soak the hay and the fence and the tractor."
+
+"OK, but be careful not to soak the chickens or the cows or the dog," says Ben. "They don't like water."
+
+They take turns holding the hose and spraying water everywhere. They laugh and scream and run around. They soak the hay and the fence and the tractor, but they also soak each other and the ground and the barn.
+
+Soon, they are wet and muddy and happy. They don't see their mom coming from the house with a basket of apples. She sees them and smiles, but she also shakes her head.
+
+"What are you two doing?" she asks. "You are making a big mess."
+
+"We are firefighters, mom," says Lily. "We are soaking the fire."
+
+"What fire?" asks mom.
+
+"The fire in our imagination," says Ben.
+
+Mom laughs and hugs them. "You are very creative and flexible, my darlings," she says. "But you also need to be clean and dry. Come on, let's go inside and have some apples and towels. Then you can help me with the dishes."
+
+"OK, mom," say Lily and Ben. They drop the hose and follow her. They are still wet and muddy, but they are also hungry and tired. They love their mom and their farm and their hose. They are happy.
+Lily loved to play with her dolls. She had a big box of dolls and clothes and shoes and hats. She liked to dress them up and make them talk and have tea parties. She had one doll that was her favorite. It was a queen doll with a long pink dress and a shiny crown. Lily called her Queen Rose.
+
+One day, Lily wanted to make a new dress for Queen Rose. She found some pretty fabric and some scissors and some tape. She wanted to make the dress perfect, so she decided to measure the doll first. She used a string to measure how long and how wide the doll was. She cut the string and kept it in her hand.
+
+She went to the fabric and tried to cut it with the scissors. But the scissors were too big and hard for her to use. She pushed and pulled and twisted, but the fabric did not cut. She got angry and frustrated. She threw the scissors on the floor and started to cry.
+
+She did not see that the string had fallen out of her hand and landed on the floor too. She did not see that her little brother, Max, had crawled into the room and saw the string. He liked to play with strings and ribbons and anything that moved. He grabbed the string and put it in his mouth. He started to chew and pull and tug.
+
+Lily heard a noise and looked up. She saw Max with the string in his mouth. She saw that the string was the same one that she had used to measure Queen Rose. She gasped and ran to him. She tried to take the string out of his mouth, but he did not let go. He growled and bit and shook his head.
+
+Lily screamed and cried. She was afraid that Max would swallow the string and get sick. She was afraid that she would lose the string and not be able to make the dress for Queen Rose. She was afraid that she had ruined everything.
+
+She wished she had not tried to make the dress. She wished she had just played with Queen Rose as she was. She wished she had been more careful and more patient. She wished she had a magic wand to fix everything.
+Lila and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a ball and a kite. They have fun.
+
+One day, a new person comes to the park. He is big and loud. He has a bike. He says, "This is my park. Go away!"
+
+Lila and Sam are scared. They do not know the new person. They do not like his harsh voice. They want to keep playing.
+
+Lila says, "No, this is our park too. We can share. You can play with our ball and kite. We can try your bike."
+
+The new person laughs. He says, "No, you are too small and silly. You cannot use my bike. It is too fast and cool for you. And I do not want your ball and kite. They are too boring and old for me. Go away or I will make you!"
+
+Sam says, "No, you are mean and rude. You cannot make us go away. This is a public park. Everyone can play here. You have to be nice and fair. Or we will tell the teacher!"
+
+The new person frowns. He says, "Fine, I do not care. I will find another park. You are no fun. You are babies!"
+
+He rides away on his bike. He does not look back.
+
+Lila and Sam hug. They are happy. They know they are brave and smart. They know they are good friends. They play with their ball and kite. They have fun.
+Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They liked to make up stories with their dolls and cars. Mommy was in the kitchen, making dinner. She told them to be tidy and not make a mess.
+
+"Look, Ben, I have a magic wand!" Lily said, holding a stick she found in the yard. "I can make things vanish!"
+
+"Really? Show me!" Ben said, curious.
+
+Lily waved her stick at a pillow on the couch. "Vanish!" she said. Nothing happened. The pillow was still there.
+
+"Ha ha, you can't do magic!" Ben teased. "You're silly!"
+
+Lily felt angry. She wanted to prove Ben wrong. She looked around for something else to vanish. She saw the fireplace. There was a fire burning inside, making the room warm and cozy.
+
+"Watch this!" Lily said, pointing her stick at the fireplace. "Vanish!"
+
+Suddenly, the fire went out. The room became dark and cold. Lily and Ben gasped.
+
+"Uh oh," Lily said, scared. "What did I do?"
+
+Mommy heard the noise and came to the living room. She saw the fireplace with no fire, and the stick in Lily's hand.
+
+"Lily, Ben, what happened?" Mommy asked, worried.
+
+"I'm sorry, Mommy," Lily said, crying. "I was playing with my magic wand and I made the fire vanish."
+
+Mommy hugged Lily and Ben. She was not angry, but she was not happy either. She explained to them that fire is not a toy, and that they should never play with it. She told them that fire can be dangerous and hurt people and things. She also told them that magic is not real, and that they should be careful with what they say and do.
+
+She took the stick from Lily and threw it in the trash. She relit the fire in the fireplace, and made the room warm and cozy again. She told Lily and Ben to be tidy and put away their toys. She said they could have dinner soon, and then read a story together.
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They felt sorry for what they did. They learned their lesson. They hugged Mommy and said they loved her. They helped each other to be tidy and put away their toys. They decided to play with something else next time. They hoped the fire would not vanish again.
+Tom and Mia like to play on the sand. They make big hills and dig holes. They see the sea and the waves. The sea is blue and shiny. The waves are white and loud.
+
+One day, Tom and Mia want to go near the sea. They hold hands and walk on the wet sand. They see a big wave coming. They want to touch it. They run to the wave.
+
+But the wave is too fast and too strong. It hits Tom and Mia and makes them fall. They fall on the sand and get wet. They feel cold and scared. They cry and call for mom and dad.
+
+Mom and dad hear them and run to them. They pick them up and hug them. They say it is okay. They say the sea is fun but also dangerous. They say they have to be careful and stay away from the big waves.
+
+Tom and Mia say they are sorry. They say they will not go near the sea again. They say they want to go home and get dry. Mom and dad say they love them. They take them home and give them warm clothes and hot chocolate. They say they can play on the sand another day. Tom and Mia smile and say they love mom and dad. They say they had a good day but also learned a lesson.
+Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play with blocks and puzzles. One day, they find a new puzzle in the playroom. It has many pieces and colors.
+
+"Let's test this puzzle," Sara says. "It looks nice."
+
+"OK," Tom says. "But how do we start?"
+
+Sara picks up a piece. It has a blue sky and a white cloud. She looks at the picture on the box. She sees the same sky and cloud in the corner.
+
+"I think this piece goes here," she says. She puts the piece on the table.
+
+Tom picks up another piece. It has a green tree and a brown trunk. He looks at the picture on the box. He sees the same tree and trunk in the middle.
+
+"I think this piece goes here," he says. He puts the piece next to Sara's piece.
+
+They keep testing the puzzle pieces. They match the colors and shapes. They make the picture on the box. They are happy.
+
+"We did it!" Sara says. "We finished the puzzle!"
+
+"Yay!" Tom says. "It is very nice!"
+
+They high-five each other. They smile. They like to test puzzles. They are good friends.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play games together. Sometimes they play hide and seek, sometimes they play tag, sometimes they play with blocks.
+
+One day, Anna is sick. She has to stay in bed. She cannot go to school or play with Ben. She feels sad and bored. She misses Ben and their games.
+
+Ben is at school. He learns new things and has fun with his classmates. But he also misses Anna. He wonders how she is and what she is doing. He wants to play with her again.
+
+After school, Ben goes to Anna's house. He knocks on the door. Anna's mom opens the door. She says, "Hello, Ben. Anna is in her room. She is feeling a little better, but she still has to rest. Do you want to see her?"
+
+Ben says, "Yes, please. Can I bring her a gift?"
+
+Anna's mom says, "That's very kind of you, Ben. What did you bring?"
+
+Ben shows her a drawing. He made it in art class. It is a picture of him and Anna playing hide and seek. He says, "I made this for Anna. I hope she likes it."
+
+Anna's mom says, "That's a very nice drawing, Ben. I'm sure Anna will love it. You are a very modest and thoughtful friend. Come on, let's go to her room."
+
+Ben follows Anna's mom to Anna's room. He sees Anna lying in bed. She looks pale and tired. But when she sees Ben, she smiles. She says, "Hi, Ben. I'm so happy to see you. I missed you a lot."
+
+Ben says, "Hi, Anna. I missed you too. How are you feeling?"
+
+Anna says, "I'm feeling a little better. But I still have to stay in bed. I'm bored. I wish I could play with you."
+
+Ben says, "I have something for you. I made it for you. Look." He gives her the drawing. He says, "This is us playing hide and seek. Do you like it?"
+
+Anna says, "Wow, Ben. This is amazing. You are very good at drawing. I love it. Thank you so much. You are the best friend ever."
+
+Ben says, "You're welcome, Anna. I'm glad you like it. You are the best friend ever too."
+
+Anna and Ben hug. They talk and laugh. They feel happy and less lonely. They hope they can play games together soon.
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play in the hall. They had many toys, but their favorite was a red wagon. They took turns to pull the wagon and put their dolls and cars inside.
+
+One day, they saw a new toy in the hall. It was a shiny robot that could talk and move. Tom and Lily wanted to play with it, but it belonged to their big brother Sam. Sam was not home and he had left a note on the robot. It said: "Do not touch. This is my robot. It is broken and I need to fix it."
+
+Tom and Lily did not read the note. They did not care. They thought the robot looked fun and they wanted to pull it with their wagon. They grabbed the robot and tried to put it in the wagon. But the robot was too big and heavy. It did not fit. Tom and Lily pulled harder and harder. They heard a loud snap. The robot's arm broke off and fell to the floor.
+
+The robot started to beep and flash. It said: "Error. Error. System malfunction. Help. Help." Tom and Lily were scared. They dropped the robot and ran to their room. They hid under their bed and hoped Sam would not find out.
+
+But Sam did find out. He came home and saw his robot in the hall. He saw the broken arm and the note. He was very angry and sad. He went to Tom and Lily's room and knocked on the door. He said: "Who broke my robot? Who did not listen to my note? Who did not respect my things?"
+
+Tom and Lily did not answer. They felt guilty and ashamed. They knew they had done something wrong. They knew they had to say sorry. They came out of their room and faced Sam. They said: "We broke your robot. We did not read your note. We did not respect your things. We are sorry. Please forgive us."
+
+Sam was still angry and sad, but he also saw that Tom and Lily were sorry. He said: "I forgive you, but you have to learn a lesson. You have to be careful with other people's things. You have to ask before you touch. You have to respect what is not yours. Do you understand?"
+
+Tom and Lily nodded. They said: "We understand. We will be careful. We will ask. We will respect. Thank you for forgiving us."
+
+Sam hugged them and said: "You're welcome. I love you, but please don't break my robot again."
+
+The end.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, it starts to rain. Lily and Ben run to a big tree. They do not have an umbrella.
+
+"Look, Lily, there is a big bird!" Ben says. He points to the sky. Lily sees a big bird with many colors. It is a rainbow.
+
+"Wow, it is so pretty!" Lily says. She claps her hands. Ben claps his hands too. They applaud the rainbow.
+
+The rain stops. Lily and Ben see a man with a big umbrella. He walks to the tree.
+
+"Hello, children, do you need an umbrella?" the man asks. He smiles.
+
+"Yes, please, thank you!" Lily and Ben say. They are happy. The man gives them his umbrella.
+
+"Here you go, you can keep it. I have another one at home," the man says. He is kind.
+
+"Thank you, thank you!" Lily and Ben say. They hug the man. The man hugs them back.
+
+Lily and Ben walk to their homes with the umbrella. They are happy. They still see the rainbow in the sky. They wave to the rainbow. The rainbow waves back.
+Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys, but they do not like to sort them. Mom says they have to sort their toys every day, or they will lose them. Sara and Ben do not want to lose their toys, but they also do not want to sort them.
+
+One day, Mom says she has a surprise for them. She says they have to sort their toys first, and then she will show them the surprise. Sara and Ben make a promise to sort their toys. They start to sort their toys by color and shape. Sara has a lot of pink and purple toys. Ben has a lot of blue and green toys. They put their toys in different boxes.
+
+But then, Sara sees a toy she likes in Ben's box. It is a wide truck with big wheels. Sara wants to play with the truck. She takes the truck from Ben's box and puts it in her box. Ben sees what Sara does. He gets mad. He says, "That is my truck! Give it back!" Sara says, "No, it is my truck! I like it!" They start to fight over the truck. They pull and tug and yell.
+
+Mom hears the noise. She comes to see what is wrong. She sees Sara and Ben fighting over the truck. She sees the boxes of toys. She sees that Sara and Ben did not sort their toys well. She is not happy. She says, "Sara and Ben, you broke your promise! You did not sort your toys well. You did not share. You did not listen. You do not get the surprise."
+
+Sara and Ben feel sad. They know they did something bad. They say, "We are sorry, Mom. We will sort our toys better. We will share. We will listen. Please, can we have the surprise?" Mom thinks for a moment. She says, "OK, but you have to sort your toys again. And you have to be nice to each other. And you have to say thank you for the surprise." Sara and Ben agree. They sort their toys again. They give each other the truck. They hug and say sorry. They are ready for the surprise.
+
+Mom smiles. She says, "Good job, Sara and Ben. You kept your promise. You sorted your toys well. You shared. You listened. You are good twins. Now, come and see the surprise." She takes them to the backyard. There, they see a big, wide, colorful slide. Sara and Ben are happy. They say, "Wow! Thank you, Mom! This is the best surprise ever!" They run to the slide. They take turns to slide down. They laugh and have fun. They are happy twins.
+Lila and Ben were twins who liked to play in their room. They had many toys and books and a big bed. But sometimes they got restless and wanted to do something else. One day, they saw a bulb on the lamp by their window. It was bright and shiny and looked like a ball.
+
+"Let's play with the bulb!" Lila said. "Maybe it can bounce or make noise."
+
+"No, we can't!" Ben said. "Mom said the bulb is hot and can break. It is not a toy. It is for making light."
+
+But Lila did not listen. She climbed on the chair and reached for the bulb. She pulled it hard and it came off. She was happy and threw it to Ben.
+
+"Here, catch!" she shouted.
+
+Ben was scared and tried to catch the bulb. But it was too fast and too hot. It hit his hand and burned him. He dropped it and it broke on the floor. It made a loud noise and glass went everywhere.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Ben cried. "It hurts! It hurts!"
+
+Mom heard the noise and came to the room. She saw the broken bulb, the glass, and Ben's hand. She was angry and worried.
+
+"What did you do?" she shouted. "You could have hurt yourself or your brother. You were very naughty and dangerous. Go to your bed and stay there. No toys, no books, no fun. And no more bulbs!"
+
+Lila and Ben felt sorry and sad. They went to their bed and lay down. They did not talk or play. They looked at the window and saw the lamp. It was dark and quiet. They wished they had listened to Mom and left the bulb alone.
+Sara and Tom are playing with their toys in the living room. Sara has a rubber duck and Tom has a rubber ball. They like to make the rubber things squeak and bounce.
+
+"Look, Sara, I can lean on the ball and make it go very fast!" Tom says. He leans on the ball with his tummy and pushes it across the floor.
+
+"Wow, Tom, that is fun!" Sara says. She tries to lean on the duck, but it is too small and soft. She falls on the floor and laughs.
+
+"Are you okay, Sara?" Tom asks. He runs to help her up.
+
+"I am okay, Tom. Thank you. Can I try your ball?" Sara asks.
+
+"Sure, Sara. Here you go. Be careful, it is very bouncy!" Tom says. He gives her the ball and watches her lean on it.
+
+Sara leans on the ball and makes it go very fast. She is very happy. She sees a red bottle on the table. She is curious. She reaches for the bottle.
+
+"Stop, Sara, don't touch that!" Tom shouts. He knows the bottle has spicy sauce inside. His mom uses it to make the food hot.
+
+But Sara does not hear him. She grabs the bottle and opens it. She smells the sauce. It makes her nose tickle. She puts the bottle in her mouth and tastes the sauce. It makes her tongue burn.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Sara cries. She drops the bottle and the ball. She runs to the kitchen and looks for water.
+
+Tom follows her and feels sorry. He knows the sauce is very spicy. He helps her find a glass of water and gives it to her.
+
+"Drink this, Sara. It will make you feel better." Tom says.
+
+Sara drinks the water and feels a little better. She still has a hot mouth, but she can talk.
+
+"Thank you, Tom. You are a good friend. I am sorry I took your ball and the spicy sauce. I did not know it was so hot." Sara says.
+
+"It's okay, Sara. I forgive you. Next time, ask me before you take something. The spicy sauce is not for playing. It is for eating. But only a little bit." Tom says.
+
+"Okay, Tom. I will ask you. Can we play with the rubber things again?" Sara asks.
+
+"Sure, Sara. Let's play with the rubber things again. They are more fun than the spicy sauce." Tom says.
+
+They go back to the living room and play with the rubber duck and the ball. They lean on them and make them squeak and bounce. They are happy and forget about the spicy sauce.
+Ben and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. They liked to make noises and pretend they were cars, animals, or superheroes. They had a lot of fun, but sometimes they also fought over the toys.
+
+"Mine!" Ben shouted, as he grabbed a red car from Lily's hand.
+
+"No, mine!" Lily cried, as she tried to pull it back.
+
+They both tugged and pulled, until the car broke in half. They looked at the broken toy and felt sad and angry.
+
+"Look what you did!" Ben said, throwing his half on the floor.
+
+"It's your fault!" Lily said, throwing her half on the floor too.
+
+They both started to cry and ran to their mom, who was in the kitchen.
+
+Mom heard their cries and came to see what was wrong. She saw the broken car and the two unhappy children. She felt sorry for them and hugged them both.
+
+"What happened, my loves?" she asked.
+
+"Ben broke my car!" Lily said.
+
+"Lily broke my car!" Ben said.
+
+Mom sighed and said, "I'm sorry, my loves. I know you both liked that car. But it was not nice to fight over it. You have to share and be kind to each other. Fighting only makes things worse. Do you understand?"
+
+Ben and Lily nodded, but they still felt bad.
+
+Mom smiled and said, "How about we go to the garage and see if we can fix the car? Maybe we can find a switch or a glue or something to make it whole again. Would you like that?"
+
+Ben and Lily brightened up and said, "Yes, please!"
+
+They followed Mom to the garage, where they found a switch that fit the car. Mom helped them to attach it and make the car work again. They were very happy and thanked Mom.
+
+"Can we play with it together?" Ben asked Lily.
+
+"OK," Lily said, "but you have to be gentle."
+
+They agreed and took turns to play with the car. They made noises and pretended they were racing. They had a lot of fun, and they did not fight anymore.
+
+They learned to be humble and to comfort each other. They also learned to share and to be kind. They were good children, and Mom was proud of them.
+Ben and Lily were playing in the yard. They liked to dig in the dirt and make mud pies. They pretended they were chefs and cooked for their friends.
+
+"Here, try this," Ben said, handing Lily a wet lump of mud. "It's chocolate cake."
+
+Lily took a bite and made a face. "Yuck! This is not cake. This is rough and icky."
+
+Ben laughed. "I know, I know. It's just mud. But it's fun to pretend."
+
+Lily spit out the mud and wiped her mouth. "Let's go inside. Maybe Mom has some real cake for us."
+
+They ran to the door and opened it. They smelled something good. Mom was in the kitchen, cooking something on the stove.
+
+"Hi, kids," Mom said. "What have you been doing?"
+
+"We were cooking mud pies," Ben said.
+
+"Mud pies?" Mom said. "That sounds messy. And not very tasty."
+
+"It was fun," Lily said. "But we want some real cake. Do you have any?"
+
+Mom smiled. "I do. I made a carrot cake for dessert. Do you want a slice?"
+
+"Yes, please!" Ben and Lily said.
+
+Mom cut them each a piece and put it on a plate. They sat at the table and ate their cake. It was soft and sweet and had cream on top.
+
+"This is the best cake ever," Ben said.
+
+"Much better than mud pies," Lily said.
+
+Mom hugged them. "I'm glad you like it. But next time, please wash your hands before you come inside. You don't want to get dirt in your cake, do you?"
+
+Ben and Lily looked at their hands. They were dirty and sticky. They shook their heads.
+
+"No, we don't," they said.
+
+They ran to the bathroom and washed their hands. Then they came back and finished their cake. They were happy. They loved to cook and play, but they also loved to be home with Mom.
+Sam and Mia like to play with their toys. They have many toys, but their favorite is the jet. The jet is big and red and makes a loud noise when they push a button. They pretend to fly the jet around the room and have fun.
+
+One day, they see a new toy in the store. It is a big truck that can carry cars and has lights and sounds. Sam and Mia want the truck, but they do not have enough money. They ask their mom if they can have the truck, but she says no. She says they have enough toys and they should be happy with what they have.
+
+Sam and Mia are sad and angry. They do not like their mom's answer. They think the jet is old and ugly and they do not want to play with it anymore. They decide to hide the jet so their mom will not see it. They look for a good place to hide the jet. They find a big box in the garage and put the jet inside. Then they cover the box with a blanket and some books. They think their mom will not find the jet there.
+
+The next day, their mom is cleaning the garage. She sees the box with the blanket and the books. She wonders what is inside. She moves the books and lifts the blanket. She sees the jet. She is surprised and confused. She calls Sam and Mia and asks them why they hid the jet.
+
+Sam and Mia come to the garage. They see their mom holding the jet. They feel guilty and ashamed. They do not know what to say. Their mom asks them again why they hid the jet. Sam and Mia look at each other and then at their mom. They say they are sorry. They say they wanted the truck and they thought the jet was ugly. They say they were wrong and they love the jet.
+
+Their mom hugs them and tells them she loves them too. She tells them she understands they wanted the truck, but they should not hide their toys or lie to her. She tells them the jet is not ugly, but beautiful and special. She tells them the jet was a gift from their dad, who is a pilot and works far away. She tells them the jet reminds her of their dad and how much he loves them. She tells them they should be proud of their dad and their jet.
+
+Sam and Mia feel sorry and happy at the same time. They hug their mom and tell her they love her too. They tell her they are proud of their dad and their jet. They ask her if they can play with the jet. She says yes and smiles. She helps them take the jet out of the box and puts it on the floor. Sam and Mia play with the jet and make it fly around the room. They have fun and laugh. They forget about the truck and are happy with their jet.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys and watch cartoons. But today, they are sad. Their mom told them some bad news. She said their dad has to go away for a long time. He has to work in another place. He will not come back for many days.
+
+Anna and Ben do not like this news. They want their dad to stay with them. They hug their mom and cry. They ask her why their dad has to go. She says he has to help other people who are sick. She says he loves them very much and he will call them every day.
+
+Anna and Ben are still sad. They go to their room and sit on their bed. They look at their toys and their pictures. They miss their dad. They hear their mom talking on the phone. She sounds angry. She says the plane is late and the weather is bad. She says she does not know when their dad will leave.
+
+Anna and Ben feel scared. They do not want their dad to be in danger. They do not want their mom to be angry. They want their family to be happy. They hold each other and comfort each other. They say they love each other and they love their mom and dad.
+
+They hear their mom coming to their room. She knocks on the door and opens it. She smiles and hugs them. She says she is sorry for being angry. She says the plane is ready and their dad will leave soon. She says he will be safe and he will come back soon. She says they are brave and strong and she is proud of them.
+
+Anna and Ben smile and hug their mom. They say they are sorry for being sad. They say they understand and they are proud of their dad. They say they will wait for him and they will talk to him every day. They say they are happy and they love their mom and dad.
+Tom and Mia like to play in the garden. They see many things there. They see flowers, birds, bees and ants. Ants are very small and busy. They work hard to find food and make homes.
+
+One day, Tom and Mia find a big ant hill. They want to see what is inside. They use sticks and stones to make a hole. They see many ants running in and out. The ants are angry. They bite Tom and Mia. Tom and Mia cry and run away.
+
+Mom hears them and comes to see. She sees the ant hill and the hole. She is not happy. She tells Tom and Mia that they should not hurt the ants. The ants are living things. They have feelings and families. They are creative. They make tunnels and chambers. They help each other and the garden.
+
+Mom takes Tom and Mia to the kitchen. She puts some honey on a plate. She tells Tom and Mia to take the plate to the ant hill. She says they should say sorry to the ants and give them some food. Tom and Mia do what Mom says. They put the plate near the hole. They say sorry to the ants. They hope the ants will forgive them and be happy.
+
+The ants smell the honey. They come out of the hole. They see the plate and the children. They are curious and hungry. They taste the honey. They like it. They take some to their home. They share it with their friends and family. They are grateful and happy. They welcome Tom and Mia. They do not bite them anymore. They wave their antennae and make noises. They say thank you to Tom and Mia. Tom and Mia smile and wave back. They are happy too. They have made new friends. They have learned to be kind and respectful. They have learned to appreciate the ants and their creativity.
+Tim and Kim liked to swim in the sea. They saw many fish and shells and plants. They had fun in the water. But they had to be careful of the reef. The reef was hard and sharp. It could hurt them if they touched it.
+
+One day, Tim and Kim saw a big fish. It was blue and yellow and shiny. They wanted to see it closer. They swam after it. The fish was fast and smart. It led them to the reef. It hid behind a rock.
+
+Tim and Kim did not see the fish. They looked for it. They swam near the reef. They did not see the danger. A long and thin thing came out of the reef. It was a snake. It was angry and hungry. It saw Tim and Kim.
+
+The snake moved fast. It bit Tim on his leg. Tim felt a lot of pain. He cried out loud. Kim heard him. She saw the snake. She was scared and sad. She wanted to help Tim.
+
+She swam to Tim. She took off her shirt. She wrapped it around Tim's leg. She hoped it would stop the blood. She held Tim's hand. She swam with him to the shore. She called for help. She hoped Tim would be okay. She was a good sister.
+Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to imagine they were pirates and look for treasure. They had a big stick that they used as a sword. They pretended to fight with other pirates and find gold and jewels.
+
+One day, they saw a big dog in the park. It was black and brown and had sharp teeth. It barked loudly and ran towards them. Ben and Lily were scared. They dropped their stick and ran away. The dog chased them and caught up with them. It jumped on them and knocked them down. Ben and Lily felt helpless. They cried for help.
+
+"Help! Help! A dog is attacking us!" they shouted.
+
+A man heard their cries and came to help. He was the dog's owner. He grabbed the dog by the collar and pulled it away. He said sorry to Ben and Lily.
+
+"I'm sorry, kids. He didn't mean to hurt you. He just wanted to play. He's a friendly dog, but he doesn't know his own strength. Are you okay?" he asked.
+
+Ben and Lily were still scared, but they were not hurt. They nodded and said thank you to the man. He gave them their stick back and said goodbye. He took his dog away.
+
+Ben and Lily hugged each other and felt better. They decided to play somewhere else. They still liked to imagine they were pirates, but they also imagined they had a big ship that could sail away from any danger.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a squirrel on a tree. The squirrel had a big nut in its mouth. Tom and Lily wanted to see the squirrel up close.
+
+"Let's go to the tree and say hello to the squirrel," Tom said.
+
+"OK, but be quiet. We don't want to scare the squirrel," Lily said.
+
+They walked slowly to the tree. The squirrel saw them and ran to another branch. Tom and Lily followed it. They tried to climb the tree, but it was too high.
+
+"Maybe we can throw something to the squirrel and make it come down," Tom said.
+
+He picked up a pine cone and threw it to the squirrel. The squirrel dodged the pine cone and chattered angrily.
+
+"That was not nice, Tom. The squirrel does not like that," Lily said.
+
+She picked up a flower and threw it to the squirrel. The squirrel sniffed the flower and smiled.
+
+"That was nice, Lily. The squirrel likes that," Tom said.
+
+The squirrel came down a little and looked at them. Tom and Lily smiled back.
+
+"Hello, squirrel. We are Tom and Lily. We want to be your friends," Lily said.
+
+"Hello, Tom and Lily. I am Sam. I like flowers and nuts," the squirrel said.
+
+They talked for a while and learned more about each other. The squirrel told them how he found the big nut and how he planned to save it for winter. Tom and Lily told him how they liked to play and learn new things.
+
+They had so much fun that they did not notice the dark clouds in the sky. Suddenly, it started to rain. The rain was cold and wet.
+
+"Oh no, we have to go home. We are getting wet," Tom said.
+
+"Me too. I have to go to my nest. It is dry and warm," the squirrel said.
+
+They said goodbye to each other and promised to meet again. They ran to their homes. They were wet, but they were happy. They had succeeded in making a new friend.
+Tom is a farmer. He has a big farm with many animals. He likes to feed the cows, the pigs, the sheep and the chickens. He also has a dog named Spot. Spot helps him with the farm work.
+
+One day, Tom gets a letter in the mail. It is from his cousin Lily. Lily lives in the city. She says she wants to visit Tom and see his farm. She says she will come next week. Tom is happy. He likes Lily. He wants to show her his animals.
+
+Tom writes a letter back to Lily. He tells her he is excited to see her. He also draws a picture of his farm. He shows the cows, the pigs, the sheep, the chickens and Spot. He thinks it is a good picture. He puts the letter and the picture in an envelope. He writes Lily's name and address on it. He puts a stamp on it. He goes to the mailbox and mails it.
+
+On his way back to the farm, he sees a big, ugly frog. The frog is green and slimy. It has warts and bulging eyes. It croaks loudly. Tom is scared. He thinks the frog is a monster. He runs away.
+
+Spot sees the frog too. He is not scared. He thinks the frog is a toy. He barks and chases the frog. He catches the frog in his mouth. He shakes the frog and tosses it in the air. He has fun.
+
+Tom hears Spot barking. He turns around and sees Spot playing with the frog. He realizes the frog is not a monster. He feels silly. He laughs. He goes to Spot and pets him. He says, "Good boy, Spot. You are brave. I am not brave. I am afraid of a frog."
+
+Spot wags his tail. He drops the frog and licks Tom's face. He says, "Woof, woof. I love you, Tom. You are my friend. I am not afraid of anything."
+
+Tom hugs Spot. He says, "I love you too, Spot. You are my best friend. You help me with the farm. You make me happy."
+
+The frog hops away. He is glad to be free. He says, "Ribbit, ribbit. I don't like dogs. They are mean. They bite me and throw me. I am not a toy. I am a frog."
+
+The end.
+Sara and Ben like to play pirates. They have a big box that is their ship. They have hats and swords and a map. The map shows them where to find treasure.
+
+One day, they sail to a new island. They take their map and swords and look for the treasure. They see a big hill with a cave. They think the treasure is in the cave.
+
+They climb the hill, but it is slippery. Sara slips and falls. She hurts her knee. She cries. Ben helps her up. He says, "Don't cry, Sara. You are brave and healthy. You can do it."
+
+They go to the cave. It is dark and scary. They hear a noise. They think it is a monster. They run out of the cave. They drop their map and swords.
+
+They go back to their ship. They are sad. They lost their map and swords and treasure. They hug each other. They say, "We are still pirates. We have each other. We can try again tomorrow."
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big dog with long hair and a loud bark. They wanted to pet the dog, but they were afraid.
+
+"Who is that?" Tom asked.
+
+"That is Max. He is my dog," a voice said.
+
+They turned and saw a lady with a big smile and a red hat. She looked like their aunt, but she was not.
+
+"Hello, I am Anna. I am your aunt's friend. Do you want to say hi to Max?" Anna said.
+
+Tom and Lily nodded. They liked their aunt. She was nice and gave them candy. Maybe her friend was nice too.
+
+Anna raised her hand and said, "Max, sit."
+
+The dog sat and wagged his tail. He looked friendly.
+
+"Good boy, Max. Now, shake," Anna said.
+
+She raised her hand again and the dog lifted his paw. He touched Anna's hand with his paw.
+
+"Wow, he can shake!" Lily said.
+
+"Yes, he can. He is very smart. Do you want to try?" Anna said.
+
+She raised her hand and looked at Tom and Lily. They raised their hands too and took turns shaking Max's paw. They laughed and clapped.
+
+"Max, you are a good dog. But you are also ugly. You need a haircut," Anna said.
+
+She raised her hand and rubbed Max's hair. He licked her face.
+
+Tom and Lily looked at Max. They did not think he was ugly. They thought he was cute and fluffy.
+
+"Max is not ugly. He is pretty," Tom said.
+
+"Yes, he is pretty. And he is soft," Lily said.
+
+They raised their hands and hugged Max. He wagged his tail and licked their faces.
+
+Anna smiled and said, "You are right. Max is pretty. And he is happy. He likes you. And I like you too. You are very sweet. Do you want to come with me and see your aunt? She is waiting for us."
+
+Tom and Lily nodded. They liked Anna. She was nice and had a funny dog. Maybe they could play with Max again.
+
+They raised their hands and waved goodbye to the park. They followed Anna and Max to see their aunt. They were happy.
+Anna loves to dress up in fashion. She has many pretty clothes and shoes and hats. She likes to look at herself in the mirror and smile. She thinks she is very light and fast.
+
+One day, Anna wants to go to the park with her mom and dad. She puts on her favorite dress and shoes and hat. She says, "I am ready to go!" She runs to the door and waits for her mom and dad.
+
+Mom and dad are not ready yet. They are still in their room. They have to find their clothes and shoes and hats. They are not very light and fast. They are slow and heavy.
+
+Anna is bored. She does not want to wait. She wants to go to the park and play. She sees her bike in the garage. She has an idea. She says, "I will go to the park by myself. I will speed on my bike. I will be there in no time."
+
+She opens the garage door and gets on her bike. She pedals hard and fast. She speeds down the street. She does not look left or right. She does not see the cars or the people or the dogs. She only sees the park.
+
+She is almost there. She is happy. She thinks, "I am the fastest and the prettiest in the world. No one can catch me. I am in fashion."
+
+But then, she hears a loud horn. She sees a big truck. It is coming fast. It is not stopping. It is too late. She cannot speed away. She cannot turn. She cannot brake.
+
+She screams. She cries. She falls. She hurts. She bleeds.
+
+Mom and dad hear the noise. They run out of the house. They see Anna on the ground. They see the truck. They see the bike. They are scared. They are sad. They are angry.
+
+They run to Anna. They hug her. They kiss her. They say, "We love you. We are sorry. We are here."
+
+They call for help. They wait for the ambulance. They hope Anna will be okay. They wish they had been faster. They wish Anna had been slower. They wish Anna had not gone by herself. They wish Anna had listened to them. They wish Anna had not been in fashion.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to dig and make mud pies. They saw a big red flower near the fence. It was very pretty.
+
+"Let's pick it and smell it," Lily said.
+
+"No, don't touch it," Tom said. "It can burn you. It is a fire flower."
+
+Lily did not believe him. She reached out her hand to grab the flower. But as soon as she touched it, she felt a sharp pain. She screamed and pulled back her hand. It was red and sore.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" she cried. "It hurts! It hurts!"
+
+Tom ran to her and hugged her. He was sorry for her. He knew how it felt. He had touched the fire flower once too.
+
+"I told you not to touch it," he said. "It is a bad flower. It is bitter and mean. It does not like us."
+
+"Why does it grow here then?" Lily asked. "Why does it not go away?"
+
+Tom shrugged. He did not know. He had heard his mom say that the fire flower came from the east, where the sun rises. He had heard his dad say that the fire flower was hard to kill, because it had deep roots.
+
+"Maybe we can dig it out," Lily said. "Maybe we can make it go away."
+
+Tom nodded. He liked that idea. He got his shovel and Lily got her spoon. They started to dig around the fire flower. They wanted to get rid of it. They wanted to make the garden safe and nice again.
+Lily liked to play with her dolls on the floor. She had a big box of dolls and clothes and shoes and hats. She liked to dress them up and make them talk and have tea parties. She was very happy when she played with her dolls.
+
+One day, her brother Max came into her room. He saw her dolls on the floor and wanted to play with them too. He picked up one of the dolls and said, "This is my doll. She is a superhero. She can fly and fight bad guys." He threw the doll in the air and made a loud noise.
+
+Lily was very angry. She said, "No, Max! That is my doll. She is not a superhero. She is a princess. She likes to wear dresses and have tea parties. Give her back to me!" She tried to grab the doll from Max, but he was too fast.
+
+Max did not listen to Lily. He was very persistent. He said, "No, Lily! This is my doll. She is a superhero. She is more fun than a princess. I want to play with her." He ran around the room with the doll and made more loud noises.
+
+Lily was very sad. She did not like Max's game. She wanted to play with her dolls on the floor. She said, "Please, Max. Please give me back my doll. I request you to be nice to me. I request you to share with me. I request you to play with me." She hoped that Max would hear her and change his mind.
+
+What do you think will happen next? Will Max give Lily back her doll? Will they find a way to play together? How would you end the story?
+Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big hill near their house. They wanted to climb it and see what was on the other side. They asked their mom if they could go.
+
+"Okay, but be careful and come back soon," their mom said. "And take this water bottle with you. It is very hot today."
+
+Lily and Ben took the water bottle and started to walk to the hill. They held hands and sang a song. They felt happy and excited.
+
+But when they got to the hill, they saw that it was very steep and rocky. They had to struggle to go up. They felt tired and thirsty. They stopped to drink some water, but it was not enough.
+
+"Are we there yet?" Ben asked.
+
+"I don't know," Lily said. "But we can't give up. We have to march on."
+
+They tried to march on, but they felt more and more uncomfortable. Their feet hurt, their skin burned, and their mouths were dry. They wished they were back home.
+
+"Let's go back," Ben said. "This is too hard. And I miss mom."
+
+"Me too," Lily said. "But how do we go back? We can't see the way."
+
+They looked around and saw that they were lost. They did not know which way to go. They felt scared and sad.
+
+They hugged each other and cried. They hoped that someone would find them and help them. They prayed that their mom would not be angry with them. They learned that climbing a big hill was not a good idea.
+Tom is sick. He has a cough and a fever. His mom takes him to the doctor. The doctor is young and kind. He smiles at Tom and says hello.
+
+"Hello, Tom. I am the doctor. I will help you feel better. Can you listen to me?" the doctor says.
+
+Tom nods. He is scared, but he wants to be brave. He listens to the doctor.
+
+"First, I will look at your ears and your throat. Then, I will listen to your chest and your back. This is a stethoscope. It helps me hear your heart and your lungs. It may be cold, but it will not hurt. OK?" the doctor says.
+
+Tom says OK. He lets the doctor look at his ears and his throat. He opens his mouth and says ahh. The doctor listens to his chest and his back. He hears Tom's heart and his lungs.
+
+"Good job, Tom. You are very brave. You have a cold. You need to drink a lot of water and rest. I will give you some medicine to make your cough go away. It will taste bad, but it will help you. Can you take the medicine?" the doctor says.
+
+Tom says yes. He does not like the medicine, but he takes it. He wants to feel better. He thanks the doctor and hugs his mom. They go home. Tom drinks water and rests. He listens to his mom read him a story. He falls asleep. He hopes he will feel better soon.
+Tom is a boy who likes to play with his toys. He has a big truck, a soft bear and a red ball. He likes to make noises with his truck, hug his bear and throw his ball.
+
+One day, Tom is sick. He feels hot and weak. He does not want to play with his toys. He lies in his bed and stares at the sheet. The sheet is white and has blue stars on it. Tom thinks the stars are pretty, but he is too tired to smile.
+
+His mom comes in and sees Tom. She feels his forehead and says he has a fever. She gives him some water and a pill. She says the pill will make him feel better. She kisses his cheek and says she loves him.
+
+Tom drinks the water and swallows the pill. He says he loves his mom too. He closes his eyes and tries to sleep. He hopes he will feel better soon. He wants to play with his toys again. He dreams of the stars on the sheet.
+Tom and Lily went on a safari with their dad. They saw many animals, like lions, zebras, giraffes and monkeys. They liked the monkeys best, because they were funny and playful.
+
+One day, they saw a very fat monkey. He was eating a lot of bananas. He looked happy and lazy. Tom and Lily wanted to play with him, so they got out of the car and ran towards him.
+
+"Hello, fat monkey!" Tom said. "Do you want to play with us?"
+
+The fat monkey looked at them and shook his head. He did not want to share his bananas. He made a loud noise and threw a banana peel at them.
+
+"Hey, that's not nice!" Lily said. "You are very rude and greedy!"
+
+The fat monkey did not care. He kept eating and throwing. Tom and Lily got scared and ran back to the car. Their dad was angry and worried.
+
+"What were you doing?" he asked. "You should never leave the car on a safari! It's dangerous! The fat monkey could have hurt you!"
+
+Tom and Lily felt sorry and ashamed. They said they were sorry and hugged their dad. They learned their lesson and never left the car again. They still liked the monkeys, but not the fat one. He was mean and selfish. They hoped he would return some of his bananas to the other monkeys.
+Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big brown dog. The dog is nice. He wags his tail and licks their faces.
+
+"Can we carry him?" Lily asks Tom.
+
+"I don't know. He is very big. Maybe he is too heavy for us," Tom says.
+
+They try to lift the dog. They use their arms and legs. They grunt and puff. The dog is happy. He thinks they are playing.
+
+They can't carry him. He is too heavy. They fall on the grass. The dog jumps on them. He licks them more.
+
+They laugh and hug the dog. They are not sad. They are happy.
+
+They play with the dog until it is time to go home. They say goodbye to the dog. They hope to see him again.
+
+They walk to the land where their houses are. They hold hands. They are friends. They like to play in the park.
+Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play with their toys. Sometimes they share, sometimes they fight. Mom and Dad tell them to behave.
+
+One day, Tim finds a hammer in the garage. He thinks it is a great toy. He takes it to his room and starts to bang on his blocks. Bang, bang, bang! The hammer makes a loud noise.
+
+Sam hears the noise and runs to Tim's room. He sees the hammer and wants to play with it too. He says, "Give me the hammer, Tim! It is my turn!"
+
+Tim says, "No, it is mine! I found it first! Go away, Sam!"
+

+
+Ben and Lily wanted to pet the dog, but the dog did not want to be petted. The dog wanted to play with the ball. He ran after the ball and grabbed it with his teeth. He shook the ball and ran away. Ben and Lily chased the dog, but he was too fast.
+
+"Give us back our ball!" Ben shouted. "That is our ball, not yours!"
+
+The dog did not listen. He teased Ben and Lily by wagging his tail and barking. He dropped the ball and picked it up again. He ran around the park and made Ben and Lily tired.
+
+"That is not nice!" Lily said. "You are a bad dog! You are wasting our time!"
+
+The dog did not care. He thought it was fun to tease Ben and Lily. He did not know that they were sad and angry.
+
+Soon, a man came to the park. He was the dog's owner. He saw the dog with the ball and called him.
+
+"Rex, come here!" the man said. "That is not your ball! That is their ball!"
+
+The dog heard the man and stopped teasing Ben and Lily. He dropped the ball and ran to the man. The man picked up the ball and gave it back to Ben and Lily.
+

+Lily loved to play with her marbles. She had many marbles of different colors and sizes. She liked to roll them on the floor and make them bump into each other. She also liked to make patterns with them on the rug.
+
+One day, she lost her favorite marble. It was a big, shiny, blue marble that sparkled in the light. She looked everywhere for it, but she could not find it. She felt very sad and cried.
+
+"Mommy, mommy, where is my blue marble?" she asked her mother, who was busy in the kitchen.
+
+"Did you check under the sofa, in the toy box, or in your pockets?" her mother asked.
+
+"Yes, yes, yes, but it is not there!" Lily said.
+
+"Maybe you left it outside, in the garden, or in the sandbox," her mother suggested.
+
+"No, no, no, I always bring it inside!" Lily said.
+
+"Well, then, I don't know where it is, honey. Maybe you can pray to God and ask him to help you find it," her mother said.
+
+"Pray? What is pray?" Lily asked.
+
+"Pray is when you talk to God in your heart and tell him what you need or want. He listens to you and loves you very much. He can do anything," her mother explained.
+
+"Okay, I will try," Lily said. She closed her eyes and folded her hands. She said in her heart, "Dear God, please help me find my blue marble. It is very pretty and I love it very much. Thank you, God. Amen."
+
+Then she opened her eyes and looked around. She saw something shiny under the table. She crawled under the table and reached for it. It was her blue marble!
+
+"Mommy, mommy, I found it! I found it!" she shouted with joy. She ran to her mother and hugged her.
+
+"Wow, that's wonderful, Lily! I'm so happy for you! You see, God heard your prayer and helped you find your marble. He is very good and kind," her mother said.
+
+"Thank you, God! Thank you, mommy! I will always pray to God and be obedient to you," Lily said.

+She kissed her mother and went back to play with her marbles. She was very happy and grateful. She learned that prayer is a powerful and beautiful thing.
+Lily was very scared. She had to go to the hospital for an operation. She did not know what an operation was, but she knew it hurt. She cried and hugged her teddy bear.
+
+Her mom and dad tried to make her calm. They told her that the operation would make her better. They said that the doctor was very nice and would give her medicine to sleep. They said that they would be with her all the time.
+
+Lily did not understand. She asked, "Why do I need an operation? What will the doctor do to me? Will I wake up?"
+
+Her mom and dad explained that she had a problem in her ear that made her hear bad. They said that the doctor would fix her ear with a small tool. They said that she would wake up when the operation was over and that her ear would feel good.
+
+Lily felt a little better. She said, "OK, I will try to be brave. But can I take my teddy bear with me?"
+
+Her mom and dad smiled and said, "Of course, you can. Your teddy bear will help you be calm. We love you, Lily."

+They hugged her and kissed her. Then they took her to the hospital. Lily held her teddy bear tight and hoped that the operation would be fast and easy.

+
+Max chased Lily around the park. He shouted, "Give me the ball! Give me the ball!" Lily shouted, "No, it's mine! It's mine!" They ran past the fountain, the sandbox and the bench. They did not see the big tree in their way. They bumped into the tree and fell down. The ball flew out of Lily's hands and landed on the road. A car came and ran over the ball. The ball popped and deflated. It was broken.
+
+Lily and Max cried. They both wanted the ball. They both blamed each other. They did not want to be friends anymore. They sat on the grass and pouted. They did not see the sun behind the clouds. The sun was sad. It liked to see children happy and playing. It wanted to help Lily and Max. It peeked out of the clouds and shone a bright light. It made a rainbow in the sky. It made the fountain sparkle. It made the flowers smell sweet.
+
+Lily and Max looked up and saw the sun. They saw the rainbow, the fountain and the flowers. They felt warm and happy. They forgot about the ball. They smiled at each other. They said sorry. They hugged. They decided to play together. They thanked the sun. The sun smiled back. It was glad. It liked to see children happy and playing.

+
+"I don't know. He is a bad man. He is taking our things." Ben whispered.
+
+"What can we do?" Sara whispered.
+
+"Maybe we can call mom or the police." Ben whispered.
+
+They tried to reach their phone, but it was too far. The thief saw them and he laughed. He grabbed the phone and threw it away. He said, "You can't call anyone. I am the boss here. And I am taking all your stuff. You can't stop me."
+
+He finished filling his bag and he ran out of the window. He left the room in a mess. He took all the toys and books and even some clothes. He did not care if Sara and Ben cried or if they were sad. He was a very bad thief.
+
+Sara and Ben stayed under the bed until their mom came back. She saw the mess and she was very angry and worried. She hugged Sara and Ben and asked them what happened.

He was a very bad thief. And he never got caught.

+
+Quickly, Benji changed his plan. He barked and barked, and soon he saw the brown ball scatter everywhere! It ran left, right, and even all around Benji's feet.
+
+When the ball was dead, Benji put his collar back on and trotted into the house. He had a big, satisfied smile on his face. For now, he was the king of the garden!

+
+So they sneaked into the mill and grabbed some sour apples from a barrel. They quickly ate the apples, but the taste was not sweet. The sour apples made them both frown.
+
+Suddenly, there was a loud noise behind them! It was the miller who had caught them stealing and he was very angry. He chased them out of the mill and shouted that they should never steal again.

+So Bob hopped and hopped until he found a carrot patch. He decided to eat the sweet, juicy carrots but when he tried to take them, a big, scary bear appeared. The bear was very angry and shouted, “Leave my carrots alone! Or you will be sorry!â€
+Bob was scared but he stood his ground and said, “No! I want to eat the carrots.†The bear was so angry he growled and shouted even louder. Bob was so scared he ran away and hopped as fast as he could back to his burrow.
+
+When he got home he told his mother what had happened. His mother said, “I told you not to be so silly and greedy. Now you know that you shouldn’t take something that isn’t yours.†Bob hung his head and said, “I’m sorry mother. I will never do it again.†From then on, Bob was wiser and more thoughtful about what he does and never took something that didn’t belong to him.
