+The man was the owner of the pig. He was not happy. He scolded them and said, "Why did you poke my pig? That was very mean and rude. You should not poke animals or people. You should be gentle and kind. You should also listen to your mom and dad. They know what is best for you. They love you and want you to be safe and happy. Now, where are they? You must be lost."
+
+Lily and Tom felt ashamed and sorry. They realized they had made a big mistake. They told the man they were sorry and they wanted to find their mom and dad. They cried and hugged each other.
+
+The man felt sorry for them too. He said, "Don't worry, I will help you. Come with me. We will look for them together. Maybe they are at the lost and found booth. Let's go."
+
+They followed the man and walked to the booth. They saw their mom and dad there. They looked worried and sad. They saw Lily and Tom and they looked happy and relieved. They ran to them and hugged them. They said, "We are so glad you are safe. We were so worried. Where did you go? Why did you run away?"
+
+Lily and Tom told them what happened. They said they were sorry and they learned their lesson. They said they would not poke the pig or run away again. They said they would be happy with what they have and listen to their mom and dad.
+
+Their mom and dad said, "We forgive you. We are proud of you for telling the truth and saying sorry. We know you are good kids. We love you very much. But you have to be more careful and respectful. You have to follow the rules and be modest. The festival is fun, but it is also crowded and dangerous. You have to stay with us and not wander off. Do you understand?"
+
+Lily and Tom said, "Yes, we understand. We are sorry. We love you too."
+
+They hugged and kissed. They thanked the man for helping them. They said goodbye to the pig and said sorry to it too. They left the tent and went back to the festival. They had more fun, but they also stayed close to their mom and dad. They were happy and modest. They did not poke anyone or anything. They learned their moral value.
+Tom was a stubborn boy. He did not like to eat his dinner. He only liked to eat cake and candy. His mom and dad were sad. They wanted Tom to be healthy and strong.
+
+One day, mom made a special dinner for Tom. She said, "Tom, I have a surprise for you. Come and see what I made." Tom was curious. He ran to the kitchen. He saw a big plate of chicken, rice, and carrots. He frowned. He said, "I don't want this. I want cake and candy."
+
+Mom said, "Tom, this is a good dinner. It will make you grow and learn. If you eat this, you will have a treat later. Do you know what it is?" Tom shook his head. Mom said, "It is a cake with your name on it. It is your birthday today. Don't you want to celebrate?"
+
+Tom's eyes widened. He forgot it was his birthday. He felt a little bad. He said, "I'm sorry, mom. I didn't mean to be rude. I do want to celebrate. But I don't like chicken, rice, and carrots."
+
+Mom said, "I know, Tom. But sometimes you have to try new things. You might like them if you give them a chance. And you can always have some cake after you finish your dinner. How about that?"
+
+Tom thought for a moment. He decided to be brave. He said, "Okay, mom. I will try the dinner. Maybe it is not so bad. And I am excited for the cake. Thank you for making it for me."
+
+Mom smiled. She said, "You're welcome, Tom. I'm proud of you for being willing to try. You are a good boy. Happy birthday, Tom."
+
+Tom hugged his mom. He ate his dinner. He liked it more than he expected. He was happy. He had a delicious cake. He blew out the candles. He made a wish. He wished to be less stubborn and more adventurous. He learned that trying new things can be fun and rewarding. He had a great birthday.

+
+"Look, my doll has a pretty dress and a hat with a flower," Lila says, showing her doll to Ben.
+
+"My doll has a cool jacket and a cap with a star," Ben says, showing his doll to Lila.
+
+They play for a while, making their dolls talk and walk and dance. Then they see a small hole in Ben's doll's jacket.
+
+"Oh no, your doll has a hole in his jacket," Lila says.
+
+"That's okay, I can fix it," Ben says. He looks for a needle and some thread in the box. He finds a needle and a blue thread. He puts the thread in the needle. He tries to sew the hole, but it is hard. He pokes his finger and says, "Ow!"
+
+"Be careful, Ben," Lila says. "Do you want me to help you?"
+
+"Yes, please," Ben says. He gives the needle and the thread to Lila. Lila is good at sewing. She sews the hole quickly and neatly. She ties a knot and cuts the thread.
+
+"There, your doll's jacket is fixed," Lila says, giving the doll back to Ben.
+
+"Thank you, Lila. You are very nice," Ben says. He hugs his doll and smiles.
+
+They play some more, until they hear their mom calling them.
+
+"Kids, it's time for lunch. Come and wash your hands," mom says.
+

+Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they find a big tree with many yellow fruits. Sara says, "Look, Tom, bananas! I love bananas. They are sweet and soft. Do you want one?"
+
+Tom says, "No, thank you, Sara. I do not like bananas. They are mushy and sticky. I like apples. They are crunchy and juicy. Do you want one?" He shows Sara a red apple from his bag.
+
+Sara says, "No, thank you, Tom. I do not like apples. They are hard and sour. I like bananas. They are yummy and smooth. I recommend you try one. Maybe you will like it."
+
+Tom says, "No, Sara, I do not want to try a banana. I know I do not like it. I recommend you try an apple. Maybe you will like it."
+
+Sara and Tom start to argue. They do not want to share their fruits. They do not want to try new things. They are not happy.
+
+Then, they hear a loud roar. They see a big, furry animal coming out of the bushes. It has sharp teeth and claws. It is a bear. The bear is hungry. It smells the fruits. It wants to eat them.
+
+Sara and Tom are scared. They run away from the bear. They hide behind a rock. They forget about their fruits. They hold each other's hands. They are sorry.
+
+They say, "I am sorry, Sara. I am sorry, Tom. We should not have argued. We should have shared our fruits. We should have tried new things. We are friends."
+
+They wait until the bear is gone. They go back to the tree. They see that the bear has eaten all the bananas and all the apples. There are no fruits left. They are sad.
+
+They say, "Oh, no, Sara. Oh, no, Tom. The bear has eaten our fruits. We have nothing to eat. We are hungry."
+
+Then, they see something shiny under the leaves. They move the leaves. They find a hidden basket. The basket has many different fruits. There are oranges, grapes, pears, and more. They are happy.

+They say, "Look, Sara. Look, Tom. A hidden basket. A surprise. Many fruits. We are lucky. Do you want to try some?"
+
+They say, "Yes, please, Sara. Yes, please, Tom. I want to try some. I want to try new things. I want to share with you. We are friends."

+They eat the fruits. They like them. They are sweet and juicy. They are crunchy and smooth. They are yummy and colorful. They are happy.
+
+They say, "Thank you, Sara. Thank you, Tom. You are a good friend. I like you. I like fruits. I recommend you try some more."

+One day, Lily and Max went to the park with their mom. They saw many flowers and trees and birds. They liked to run and play and laugh.
+
+They also saw a caterpillar on a leaf. It was pink and fuzzy and had many legs. Lily and Max wanted to touch it, but mom said no.
+
+"Why not?" Lily asked.
+
+"Because it might be scared or hurt. Caterpillars are very small and gentle. They need to be left alone," mom said.
+
+Lily and Max nodded. They did not want to scare or hurt the caterpillar. They wanted to be kind and friendly.
+
+They wondered what the caterpillar was doing on the leaf. They wondered where it came from and where it was going. They wondered if it had a name and a family.
+
+They decided to watch the caterpillar from a distance. They saw it move slowly and eat some of the leaf. They saw it curl up and rest.
+
+They thought the caterpillar was very cute and interesting. They hoped it would be happy and safe.
+
+They said goodbye to the caterpillar and thanked it for letting them see it. They went back to their mom and told her what they saw.
+
+Mom smiled and hugged them. She said they were very good and curious children. She said she was proud of them.
+
+Lily and Max felt happy and proud too. They loved the park and the caterpillar and their mom. They had a wonderful day.
+Sam liked to feed the pigeons in the park. He always brought some bread and seeds for them. He liked to watch them fly and peck and coo. He thought they were friendly and pretty.
+
+One day, he saw a big pigeon with a shiny green neck. He wanted to feed it, but it was far away. He threw some bread to it, but it did not come. He threw some more, but it still did not come. He threw all his bread, but it only flew away.
+
+Sam was sad. He had no more bread for the other pigeons. He had spoiled his fun. He wished he had not wasted his bread on the big pigeon. He hoped it would come back another day.
+
+The next day, he came back to the park with more bread and seeds. He saw the big pigeon again. It was sitting on a bench near him. He walked slowly to it, holding some bread in his hand. He hoped it would let him feed it.
+
+To his surprise, the big pigeon flew to him and landed on his shoulder. It nuzzled his ear and cooed softly. It took the bread from his hand and ate it. It was very friendly and gentle. Sam was happy. He had made a new friend. He did not spoil his fun. He shared his bread with the big pigeon and the other pigeons. He smiled and hugged the big pigeon. He named it Greeny.
+Lily and Ben like to play with chalk. They draw on the sidewalk and make lovely pictures. They draw flowers, stars, and rainbows. They are happy and have fun.
+
+One day, a big truck comes to their street. It is loud and scary. Lily and Ben do not like the truck. They run to their mom and hide behind her. The truck stops near their sidewalk. The driver gets out and moves a big hose. He says he is going to wash the sidewalk.
+
+Lily and Ben are sad. They do not want their pictures to go away. They beg the driver to stop. They say their pictures are lovely and they worked hard. The driver does not listen. He says he has to do his job. He turns on the water and sprays the sidewalk.
+
+Lily and Ben watch as their pictures disappear. The water washes away the chalk. The flowers, stars, and rainbows are gone. The sidewalk is gray and wet. Lily and Ben cry. They feel angry and hurt. They do not understand why the driver did that. They wish they could draw their pictures again. But they have no more chalk. The end.
+Ben and Lily liked to play in the park every Tuesday. They liked to swing, slide and run. But they did not like the big hill. The big hill was very high and steep. It made them scared.
+
+One day, a new boy came to the park. His name was Max. He saw Ben and Lily and wanted to play with them. He said, "Hi, I am Max. Do you want to go up the big hill with me? It is fun!"
+
+Ben and Lily shook their heads. They said, "No, thank you. The big hill is too high and steep. It makes us scared."
+
+Max laughed. He said, "You are silly. The big hill is not scary. It is easy. Watch me!" He ran to the big hill and started to climb. He went up and up and up. He looked very small from the ground.
+
+Ben and Lily watched him. They felt more scared. They said, "Max, be careful! The big hill is dangerous. You might fall!"
+
+Max did not listen. He said, "I am not afraid. I am brave. I can rise to the top of the big hill. See?" He reached the top and waved his arms. He smiled.
+
+But then, he heard a loud noise. It was a dog. A big, black dog. It was barking and running towards him. It looked angry.
+
+Max was scared. He said, "Help! Help! There is a dog! It wants to bite me!" He tried to go down the big hill, but he slipped and rolled. He bumped and scraped. He cried.
+
+Ben and Lily saw him. They felt sorry for him. They ran to him and helped him. They said, "Are you okay, Max? We are sorry. The dog is gone. It was just a pet. It did not mean to scare you."
+
+Max was hurt and sad. He said, "Thank you, Ben and Lily. You are nice. I am sorry. I was mean. The big hill was scary. I should have listened to you."
+
+Ben and Lily hugged him. They said, "It is okay, Max. We are friends. Do you want to play with us? We can swing, slide and run. It is fun!"
+
+Max nodded. He said, "Yes, please. I like to swing, slide and run. It is fun!" He smiled.
+
+They went to the playground and played. They had fun. They forgot about the big hill. They were happy.
+Tim and Lily were playing in the garden. They saw a small mouse run under a bush. They wanted to see the mouse, so they followed it quietly.
+
+"Look, there it is!" Tim whispered, pointing to a hole in the ground. "Maybe it lives there."
+
+"Let's learn more about it," Lily said. "Maybe it has a name, or a family, or a favorite food."
+
+They waited for the mouse to come out of the hole. After a while, they heard a squeak. They saw the mouse poke its head out. It had big ears, a long tail, and a weird thing on its back.
+
+"What is that?" Tim asked, surprised. "It looks like a backpack."
+
+"It is a backpack," the mouse said, in a high voice. "I use it to carry my tools and gadgets. I'm a scientist, you see. I study the world and make inventions."
+
+Tim and Lily gasped. They had never heard a mouse talk before, let alone a scientist mouse.
+
+"Wow, you are amazing!" Lily said. "Can you show us some of your inventions?"
+
+"Sure, why not?" the mouse said. "But you have to be careful. Some of them are very powerful and dangerous. Follow me, but don't touch anything."
+
+The mouse led them to a secret lab under the bush. There, they saw all kinds of weird things: wires, buttons, lights, tubes, and machines. The mouse explained what each one did, and how he made them.
+
+Tim and Lily learned a lot from the mouse. They also had a lot of fun. They decided to be friends with the mouse, and visit him often. They also promised to keep his secret, and not tell anyone about his lab. They thought he was the coolest mouse ever.
+Lily was a fat cat who liked to eat a lot. She ate fish, milk, cheese, and sometimes even cake. She did not like to share her food with anyone. She always hid her food under her bed or in her basket.
+
+One day, a new cat came to live in the house. His name was Tom and he was very thin and hungry. He smelled Lily's food and wanted to eat some. He looked for Lily's food under her bed and in her basket, but he could not find any. He saw Lily sleeping on the sofa with a big fish in her mouth.
+
+Tom was very brave and sneaky. He crept up to Lily and tried to take the fish from her mouth. But Lily woke up and saw him. She was very angry and hissed at him.
+
+"Go away! This is my fish! You cannot have it!" she said.
+
+"But I am hungry! You have so much food! You are fat and greedy!" Tom said.
+
+Lily and Tom started to fight over the fish. They scratched and bit each other. Lily bit Tom's lip and made it bleed. Tom scratched Lily's ear and made it hurt. They made a lot of noise and mess.
+
+The owner of the house heard them and came to see what was wrong. He saw Lily and Tom fighting and was very upset. He took the fish away from them and scolded them.
+
+"Stop it! You are bad cats! You should not fight over food! You should share and be nice to each other!" he said.
+
+He gave them each a small piece of fish and some water. He told them to eat and calm down. He put a bandage on Tom's lip and a cream on Lily's ear. He petted them and said he loved them both.
+
+Lily and Tom felt sorry for what they did. They ate their fish and drank their water. They looked at each other and meowed softly. They decided to be friends and share their food from now on. They snuggled up on the sofa and fell asleep.
+Tom and Lily went to the park with Mom. They played on the swings, the slide and the seesaw. They had a lot of fun, but they also got very dirty. Their hands, faces and clothes were covered with sand, grass and mud.
+
+"Look at you two, you are so messy!" Mom said. "We need to wipe you clean before we go home. Come here, let me use this napkin."
+
+Tom and Lily did not like the napkin. It was rough and scratchy. It made them feel ouchy. They tried to run away from Mom, but she was faster. She caught them and wiped their hands and faces gently. She smiled and said, "There, now you are much better. How about a treat for being good?"
+
+Tom and Lily liked treats. They nodded and followed Mom to the ice cream truck. They saw many colors and flavors of ice cream. They had to choose one each.
+
+"I want the pink one, please," Lily said. She liked strawberry ice cream. It was sweet and creamy.
+
+"I want the brown one, please," Tom said. He liked chocolate ice cream. It was rich and yummy.
+
+Mom paid the ice cream man and gave Tom and Lily their cones. They licked their ice cream happily. It was cold and refreshing. It made them forget the napkin.
+
+But they also forgot something else. They forgot to be careful with their cones. They tilted them too much and the ice cream started to drip. It dripped on their clothes, on their shoes, on the ground. It made a big mess.
+
+"Oh no, look what you did!" Mom said. "You are dirty again. We need to wipe you clean again. Come here, let me use this napkin."
+
+Tom and Lily did not want the napkin again. They groaned and whined. They were tired of being wiped. They were also sleepy. They had played too much. They wanted to go home and rest.
+
+"Mom, can we go home now?" Tom asked. "We are sleepy. We don't want the napkin."
+
+"Mom, can we go home now?" Lily asked. "We are sleepy. We don't want the napkin."
+
+Mom sighed and smiled. She saw that they were sleepy. She also saw that they were happy. She decided to let them go home without wiping them again. She said, "Okay, okay, we can go home now. But you have to promise me one thing. When we get home, you have to take a bath and change your clothes. Deal?"
+
+Tom and Lily agreed. They said, "Deal." They threw away their cones and held Mom's hand. They walked to the car and got in. They buckled their seat belts and closed their eyes. They fell asleep on the way home. They dreamed of ice cream and napkins.
+Sara loved to read books. She had many books in her room. She liked to look at the pictures and the words. Sometimes, she read the books to her teddy bear. He was her best friend.
+
+One day, Sara was reading a book about animals. She saw a big lion on the page. He had sharp teeth and a loud roar. Sara felt scared. She hugged her teddy bear. She wanted to comfort him and herself.
+
+But then, she heard a noise. It was her brother Tom. He came into her room. He saw the book and the teddy bear. He laughed. He said, "That book is for babies. And that teddy bear is silly. You are too old for them. Give them to me."
+
+Sara felt angry and sad. She did not want to give her book and her teddy bear to Tom. She said, "No, they are mine. Go away. You are mean."
+
+Tom did not listen. He tried to take the book and the teddy bear from Sara. They pulled and pushed. They shouted and cried. Sara felt uncomfortable. She did not like to fight with Tom.
+
+Then, their mom came. She heard the noise. She saw Sara and Tom. She said, "Stop. What is going on? Why are you fighting?"
+
+Sara and Tom told their mom what happened. Mom said, "Sara, you can read any book you want. And you can keep your teddy bear. He is your friend. Tom, you should not make fun of Sara. And you should not take her things. You should be kind to your sister."
+
+Sara and Tom felt sorry. They said, "We are sorry, mom. We are sorry, Sara. We are sorry, Tom."
+
+Mom said, "It's okay. I love you both. Now, why don't you share the book and the teddy bear? Maybe you can read the book together and learn about the animals. And maybe you can comfort the teddy bear and each other."
+
+Sara and Tom smiled. They said, "Okay, mom. That sounds good."
+
+They hugged mom. They hugged each other. They hugged the teddy bear. They felt happy. They read the book and learned about the lion and other animals. They comforted the teddy bear and each other. They had fun. They were friends.
+Lisa and Ben are twins. They like to do everything together. But they are also competitive. They want to be the best at everything.
+
+One day, they decide to bake a cake for their mom. They ask their dad for help. He gives them a recipe and some ingredients. He tells them to be careful and share.
+
+Lisa and Ben start to bake. They mix the flour, the eggs, the sugar, and the butter. They pour the batter into a pan. They look for something to decorate the cake. They see a plant on the windowsill. It has pretty flowers.
+
+"I want the plant!" Lisa says. She grabs it and runs to the cake.
+
+"No, I want it!" Ben says. He chases her and tries to take it.
+
+They fight over the plant. They pull and tug. They forget about the cake. The plant falls on the floor. The flowers scatter. The dirt makes a mess.
+
+Their dad hears the noise. He comes to the kitchen. He sees the cake in the oven. He smells something burning. He turns off the oven. He takes out the cake. It is black and hard.
+
+He sees Lisa and Ben on the floor. They are crying. They are sorry. They hug each other. They hug their dad.
+
+They say, "We wanted to bake a cake for mom. We wanted to make her happy. But we ruined it. We are sorry."
+
+Their dad smiles. He says, "It's okay. I love you both. You can try again another day. But next time, don't fight over the plant. It's not for eating. It's for growing."
+Tom and Sam were brothers who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big brown box under a tree. They ran to the box and opened it. Inside, they found many toys and books and candies.
+
+"Wow, look at all these things!" Tom said. "Let's take them home and play with them."
+
+"Wait, Tom," Sam said. "Maybe this box belongs to someone else. Maybe they left it here by mistake. We should examine it and see if there is a message."
+
+Tom did not want to examine the box. He wanted to take the toys and books and candies. He said, "No, Sam, there is no message. This box is for us. Come on, let's go."
+
+Sam was not sure. He looked at the box and saw a small card on the side. He picked it up and read it. It said, "Happy birthday, Lily. Love, Grandma and Grandpa."
+
+Sam felt sad. He said, "Tom, look, this box is a birthday present for a girl named Lily. Her grandma and grandpa gave it to her. We can't take it. That would be wrong. We should put it back and find Lily and give it to her."
+
+Tom felt angry. He said, "No, Sam, I don't care about Lily. I want these things. They are mine. You are a baby. You don't know how to have fun."
+
+Tom grabbed the box and ran away. Sam followed him and tried to stop him. They fought and argued and made a lot of noise. They did not see the big dog that was sleeping near the tree. The dog woke up and saw the boys and the box. The dog thought the box was his. He barked and chased the boys and bit the box. The box broke and the toys and books and candies fell out. The dog took some of them and ran away. The boys were scared and cried.
+
+A lady came and saw the boys and the box and the dog. She said, "What are you doing here? This is my park. This is my dog. This is my box. This is my daughter's birthday present. How dare you touch it and ruin it?"
+
+The boys were shocked and sorry. They said, "We are sorry, lady. We did not know. We thought the box was for us. We were wrong. Please forgive us."
+
+The lady was angry and sad. She said, "You should have examined the box and seen the message. You should have respected other people's things. You should have been kind and honest. You should have learned your lesson."
+
+The boys nodded and said, "We have learned our lesson, lady. We are sorry, lady. We will never do it again, lady."
+
+The lady sighed and said, "Well, I hope so. Now go home and think about what you did. And don't come back to my park again."
+
+The boys ran home and felt ashamed. They wished they had listened to Sam and examined the box and seen the message. They wished they had been good and not greedy. They wished they had not met the lady and the dog and the box. They wished they had not spoiled Lily's birthday. They learned their lesson the hard way.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big tree with many leaves. They ran to the tree and looked at their shadows.
+
+"Look, Lily, I can make my shadow big and small!" Tom said. He moved closer and farther from the tree.
+
+"Wow, Tom, that is fun!" Lily said. She tried to do the same. "Can you make your shadow do something else?"
+
+Tom thought for a moment. He lifted his arms and made his shadow look like a bird. "Look, Lily, I can make my shadow fly!"
+
+Lily clapped her hands. She lifted her arms and made her shadow look like a butterfly. "Look, Tom, I can make my shadow flutter!"
+
+They laughed and played with their shadows. They did not see the big dog that was running towards them. The dog barked and jumped on Tom. Tom fell down and cried. The dog bit his leg and made it hurt.
+
+"Tom, Tom, are you okay?" Lily shouted. She was scared of the dog. She ran to Tom and hugged him. She tried to make the dog go away.
+
+The dog's owner saw what happened. He ran to the park and called the dog. The dog stopped biting Tom and ran to his owner. The owner said he was sorry and asked if Tom was hurt.
+
+Tom nodded. He showed his leg to the owner. It was bleeding and had teeth marks. The owner said he would take Tom to the doctor. He said he would pay for the medicine and the bandage.
+
+Lily went with Tom and the owner. She held Tom's hand and said it would be okay. She said she was sorry for the dog. She said she was glad Tom was her friend. She said she liked his shadow. Tom smiled and said he liked her shadow too. He said they would play with their shadows again when his leg was better.
+Lily and Sam are friends. They like to play with toys. They have many toys in their room. They have dolls, cars, blocks, and books.
+
+One day, Lily and Sam want to show their toys to their mom and dad. They decide to make a display. A display is when you put things in a nice way to look at. They put their toys on a big table. They make groups of toys that are the same. They put a sign on each group. The sign says what the toys are.
+
+Lily and Sam call their mom and dad. They say, "Come and see our display! We made it with our toys. It is very fun and good!"
+
+Mom and dad come to the room. They see the display. They are very happy and proud. They say, "Wow, what a wonderful display! You worked very hard and used your imagination. You have so many toys and you know their names. You are very smart and creative!"
+
+Lily and Sam smile. They say, "Thank you, mom and dad! We are glad you like our display. We had fun making it. Can we play with our toys now?"
+
+Mom and dad say, "Of course, you can play with your toys. But first, let us take a picture of your display. It is very special and we want to remember it. You are very special too. We love you very much!"
+
+Lily and Sam hug their mom and dad. They say, "We love you too! You are the best mom and dad in the world!" They play with their toys and have more fun. They are very happy.
+Lily liked to play with her toys. She had many toys, but her favorite was a colorful flute. She liked to blow into the flute and make sounds. She could make happy sounds, sad sounds, and funny sounds. She felt like she could talk to the flute.
+
+One day, Lily's mom said they had to go to the store. Lily wanted to bring her flute, but mom said no. She said the flute was too big and noisy for the store. She said Lily had to choose another toy to bring. Lily was sad. She did not want to leave her flute.
+
+Lily looked at her other toys. She had a ball, a doll, a car, and a book. She did not like any of them as much as her flute. She did not know what to choose. She thought for a long time. Then she had an idea. She ran to her room and got a small whistle. It was not as colorful or as big as her flute, but it could make sounds too. She put it in her pocket and smiled.
+
+Lily and mom went to the store. Lily was bored. She did not like the store. It was too big and noisy and had no toys. She wanted to play with her whistle, but mom said no. She said the whistle was too loud and rude for the store. She said Lily had to be quiet and wait. Lily was sad. She did not want to wait.
+
+Lily and mom walked around the store. They saw many things, but nothing interesting. Then Lily saw something that made her eyes shine. It was a display of colorful flutes. They were like her flute, but smaller and prettier. They had different colors and patterns. Lily wanted to touch them and play with them. She ran to the display and reached for a flute.
+
+Mom saw Lily and stopped her. She said the flutes were not for playing. She said they were for buying. She said Lily could not have a flute. She said she already had a flute at home. Lily was sad. She did not understand. She wanted a new flute. She wanted to choose a flute.
+
+Mom saw Lily's face and felt sorry. She remembered how much Lily loved her flute. She remembered how she had given her the flute for her birthday. She remembered how Lily had hugged her and thanked her. She thought for a long time. Then she had an idea. She smiled and said to Lily, "How about we make a deal? You can choose one flute from the display, but you have to give me your whistle. And you have to promise to play with your flute only at home, not at the store. Do you agree?"
+
+Lily looked at mom and nodded. She was happy. She gave mom her whistle and took a flute. She chose a flute that was pink and purple and had flowers on it. It was the most beautiful flute she had ever seen. She hugged mom and thanked her. She felt like she could talk to the flute.
+
+Lily and mom left the store. Lily was happy. She had a new flute. She could not wait to get home and play with it. She blew into the flute and made sounds. She made happy sounds, sad sounds, and funny sounds. She felt like she could talk to the flute. And the flute talked back.
+Lily and her mother went to the park. Lily liked to play on the swings and the slide. She saw a boy with a big red balloon. He was holding it by a string. Lily wanted a balloon too. She was envious of the boy.
+
+"Mother, can I have a balloon?" Lily asked.
+
+"Maybe later, dear. We don't have money to spend on balloons right now. We have to save for other things." Mother said.
+
+"But I want a balloon now!" Lily whined.
+
+"Lily, don't be rude. You have many toys at home. You don't need a balloon to be happy." Mother said.
+
+Lily pouted. She did not listen to her mother. She ran to the boy with the balloon. She tried to grab his string. The boy was angry. He pulled the string back. The balloon flew away. It went up and up in the sky. Lily and the boy cried. They lost the balloon.
+
+Mother came to Lily. She hugged her. She said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I know you wanted a balloon. But you should not take things from others. That is not nice. You should say sorry to the boy."
+
+Lily felt bad. She said sorry to the boy. The boy said sorry too. They became friends. They played together on the swings and the slide. They forgot about the balloon. They had fun. Mother smiled. She was proud of Lily. She said, "Lily, you are a good girl. You learned a lesson today. You don't need to be envious of others. You have everything you need. You have me and you have friends." Lily hugged her mother. She said, "I love you, mother. You are right. I am happy."
+Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park and share their toys. One day, they saw a big truck in the park. The truck had many potatoes in it. The potatoes were for the market. They looked yummy and round.
+
+"Let's take some potatoes," Ben said. "We can make fries at home."
+
+Lily was not sure. "But that is not ours," she said. "The truck man will be angry."
+
+Ben shook his head. "He will not see us. Come on, it will be fun. Trust me."
+
+He took a potato and ran away. Lily followed him. They hid behind a tree and peeled the potato with their fingers. They were about to eat it when they heard a loud voice.
+
+"Hey, you two! What are you doing with my potatoes? They are expensive. Give them back!"
+
+It was the truck man. He had seen them. He was very mad. He came to them and took the potato from their hands. He scolded them and told them to go away.
+
+Lily and Ben felt bad. They had done something wrong. They said sorry to the truck man and ran back to their parents. They learned a lesson. They should not take things that are not theirs. And they should not trust Ben when he has bad ideas.
+Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play on the farm. They had many animals to see and feed, like cows, pigs, sheep and chickens. One day, they saw a big red barn that they had never seen before. They wanted to explore it and see what was inside.
+
+"Come, Ben, let's go to the barn!" Lily said.
+
+"OK, Lily, but be careful. We don't know who lives there," Ben said.
+
+They ran to the barn and opened the door. Inside, they saw a lot of hay, tools, and old things. They also saw a horse, a donkey, and a goat. The animals looked at them with curiosity and made noises.
+
+"Hello, animals! We are Lily and Ben. We live on the farm too. Can we play with you?" Lily asked.
+
+The horse neighed, the donkey brayed, and the goat bleated. They seemed friendly and happy to see the twins. Lily and Ben petted them and gave them some carrots and apples. They had fun with the animals and learned their names.
+
+"Your names are original and cool. You are Lucky, you are Daisy, and you are Billy," Lily said.
+
+"Thank you, Lily and Ben. You are kind and sweet. You are welcome to visit us anytime," Lucky said.
+
+Lily and Ben smiled and hugged the animals. They realized that the barn was not scary, but a nice place to make new friends. They also learned that it was good to be curious and respectful of others. They said goodbye to the animals and ran back to their house, happy and proud of their adventure.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to pretend they were fairies and elves. They picked some daisies and made crowns for their heads. Lily put her crown on and smiled. She felt like a real fairy.
+
+"Look at me, Ben! I'm a fairy queen!" she said.
+
+Ben tried to put his crown on, but it was too tight. It hurt his head and made his hair stick up. He frowned and pulled it off.
+
+"Ow! This crown is too tight! It's not fair!" he said.
+
+Lily looked at him and laughed. She thought he looked funny with his hair sticking up.
+
+"Ha ha, Ben! You're not an elf, you're a porcupine!" she said.
+
+Ben felt angry and sad. He didn't like Lily laughing at him. He wanted to be an elf, not a porcupine. He threw his crown on the ground and stomped away.
+
+"Fine! I don't want to play with you anymore! You're a mean fairy!" he said.
+
+Lily felt sorry and confused. She didn't mean to hurt Ben's feelings. She wanted to play with him and have fun. She ran after him and picked up his crown.
+
+"Wait, Ben! I'm sorry! I was just joking! Please come back and play with me!" she said.
+
+Ben stopped and turned around. He saw Lily holding his crown and looking sad. He felt a little better and decided to give her another chance.
+
+"Okay, Lily. I'm sorry too. I know you were joking. But can we make a new crown for me? One that fits better?" he said.
+
+Lily nodded and smiled. She was happy that Ben forgave her. She agreed to make a new crown for him. They hugged and went back to the garden. They found some more daisies and made a new crown for Ben. It was not too tight and not too loose. It was just right. Ben put it on and smiled. He felt like a real elf.
+
+"Look at me, Lily! I'm an elf king!" he said.
+
+Lily looked at him and smiled. She felt like a real fairy.
+
+"Look at us, Ben! We're a fairy queen and an elf king!" she said.
+
+They held hands and danced around the garden. They pretended they were fairies and elves. They had fun and forgot their fight. They were friends again.
+Tom and Sam were best friends. They liked to play with their toys in the yard. Tom had a big red vehicle that could make loud noises and move fast. Sam had a small blue vehicle that was quiet and slow. Sam wished he had a big red vehicle like Tom.
+
+One day, Tom's mom said they had to go to the store. She told Tom to bring his vehicle with him. Sam wanted to go too, but his mom said he had to stay home. Sam was sad and envious. He watched Tom and his mom get in their car and drive away.
+
+Sam waited and waited for Tom to come back. He looked at his small blue vehicle and felt bored. He wondered what Tom was doing at the store. Maybe he was buying more toys or candy. Maybe he was having fun without him.
+
+After a long time, Sam heard a loud noise. He ran to the fence and saw Tom and his mom arrive in their car. But Tom was not happy. He was crying and holding his big red vehicle. It was broken and dirty. Sam saw that Tom had a band-aid on his knee.
+
+"What happened?" Sam asked.
+
+"I fell down and my vehicle crashed," Tom said. "It was scary and it hurt. I don't like my vehicle anymore."
+
+Sam felt sorry for Tom. He ran to his house and got his small blue vehicle. He gave it to Tom and said, "Here, you can have mine. It's quiet and slow, but it's safe and nice. I like your vehicle, but I like you more."
+
+Tom smiled and hugged Sam. He said, "Thank you, Sam. You are a good friend. I like your vehicle, but I like you more too."
+
+They played with their vehicles in the yard. They were happy and not envious. They were best friends.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. They saw a big hill and wanted to climb it. They ran to the hill and started to go up.
+
+"Look, Lily, I can see the whole park from here!" Tom said.
+
+"Me too, Tom, it is so pretty!" Lily said.
+
+But then they heard a loud noise. It sounded like a roar. They looked around and saw a giant. The giant was very big and hairy. He had a big nose, big ears and big teeth. He looked angry.
+
+"Tom, Lily, run!" Tom said. He was scared of the giant.
+
+But Lily did not run. She wanted to listen to the giant. She thought maybe he was not angry, maybe he was sad.
+
+"Hello, giant, why are you roaring?" Lily asked.
+
+The giant looked at Lily. He was surprised. He did not expect a little girl to talk to him.
+
+"I am roaring because I am lonely," the giant said. "I have no friends. Everyone is afraid of me."
+
+Lily felt sorry for the giant. She thought he was nice, even if he was big and hairy.
+
+"I am not afraid of you, giant," Lily said. "I can be your friend. Do you want to play with me and Tom?"
+
+The giant smiled. He liked Lily. She was brave and kind.
+
+"Yes, I want to play with you and Tom," the giant said. "Thank you for being nice to me."
+
+Tom came back. He saw that Lily and the giant were talking. He was still scared, but he saw that the giant was not angry. He saw that the giant was smiling.
+
+"Hello, giant, I am Tom," Tom said. "I am sorry I ran away. I was scared. But you seem nice. Can we play together?"
+
+The giant nodded. He was happy. He had two new friends.
+
+"Yes, we can play together," the giant said. "What do you want to play?"
+
+Tom and Lily thought for a moment. Then they had an idea.
+
+"Let's play hide and seek!" they said.
+
+The giant agreed. He liked hide and seek. He counted to ten while Tom and Lily hid. Then he looked for them. He found them easily, because they were small and he was big. But he pretended not to see them, to make them laugh. They had a lot of fun.
+
+Tom and Lily liked the giant. The giant liked Tom and Lily. They played until it was time to go home. They said goodbye and hugged. They promised to come back and play again.
+
+The end.
+Lily and Ben were going to see a show in the big hall. They were very excited. They put on their best clothes and held their mom's hand. Mom told them to be careful and not run or push.
+
+When they got to the hall, they saw many people and seats. Mom found their seats and helped them sit down. Lily and Ben looked around and saw a big stage with curtains and lights. They wondered what the show would be.
+
+Soon, the lights went down and the curtains opened. Lily and Ben saw some people dressed as animals and clowns. They started to sing and dance and do funny things. Lily and Ben laughed and clapped. They liked the show very much.
+
+But then, a big lion came on the stage. He roared and jumped and scared everyone. Lily and Ben were afraid. They hid behind their mom and cried. Mom hugged them and said, "Don't worry, it's not a real lion. It's just a person in a costume. He's pretending to be a lion. He's part of the show."
+
+Lily and Ben peeked and saw that the lion was not mean. He was playing with the other animals and clowns. He was making jokes and doing tricks. He was not scary at all. He was funny. Lily and Ben stopped crying and started to laugh again. They clapped louder and louder.
+
+The show ended and the people on the stage bowed. Everyone in the hall applauded and cheered. Lily and Ben applauded too. They liked the show very much. They thanked their mom for taking them to the hall. They were happy.
+Sara and Tom were bored. They wanted to play outside, but it was too icy. The snow was hard and slippery. They could not make snowmen or snowballs.
+
+"Let's watch a video," Sara said. She looked for her favorite one. It was about a princess and a dragon. She put it in the player and turned on the TV.
+
+Tom did not like the video. He had seen it many times. He wanted to watch something else. He looked for his favorite one. It was about a pirate and a treasure. He took out Sara's video and put in his own.
+
+Sara was angry. She saw Tom change the video. She did not want to watch the pirate. She wanted to watch the princess. She grabbed the remote and pressed the button.
+
+The TV screen went blank. Sara and Tom had pressed the same button at the same time. They had turned off the TV.
+
+They looked at each other. They were both sad. They had ruined their video time. They did not know what to do.
+
+Then they heard a knock on the door. They ran to open it. It was their friend Mia. She had a big smile on her face.
+
+"Hi, Sara and Tom," she said. "Do you want to play with me? I have a new game. It is very fun. You have to recognize different animals by their sounds. Do you want to try?"
+
+Sara and Tom nodded. They liked animals. They liked sounds. They liked Mia. They forgot about the video. They followed Mia to her house. They had a lot of fun playing the new game. They learned to recognize many animals. They were not bored anymore. They were happy.
+Lily and Max liked to pretend. They pretended to be pirates, or doctors, or animals. They used their toys, their clothes, and their imagination.
+
+One day, they found a big sock in the laundry basket. It was red and white, with a hole at the toe. Lily had an idea. She put the sock on her hand and said, "Look, Max, I have a puppet!"
+
+Max wanted to play too. He looked for another sock, but he could not find one. He was impatient. He did not want to wait. He grabbed the sock from Lily's hand and said, "No, it's mine!"
+
+Lily was angry. She did not like to share. She pulled the sock back and said, "No, it's mine!"
+
+They both tugged and pulled at the sock. They did not notice that their mom was watching them. She was not happy. She said, "Stop it, you two! That sock is not a toy. It's dirty and old. And you are tearing it apart. Give it to me, now!"
+
+Lily and Max felt ashamed. They let go of the sock and said, "Sorry, mom." They did not want to pretend anymore. They hugged each other and said, "Sorry, Lily. Sorry, Max."
+
+Mom smiled and said, "It's okay. I know you like to pretend. But you have to be nice and share. And you have to use clean and safe things. How about I give you some of your dad's old socks? You can make them into puppets and put on a show for me."
+
+Lily and Max liked that idea. They said, "Yes, please, mom!" They followed mom to the closet and picked out some socks. They made them into different characters and gave them funny voices. They pretended to be a princess, a dragon, a knight, and a wizard. They had fun and made mom laugh. They forgot about the big sock in the laundry basket.
+Lily loved music. She liked to sing and dance and play with her toy piano. She wanted to show her music to her big brother Tom, who was busy with his homework.
+
+"Tom, Tom, look at me!" Lily said, as she banged on the piano keys and twirled around. "I made a song for you!"
+
+But Tom did not look at her. He did not listen to her. He ignored her. He only looked at his book and his paper and his pen. He said, "Lily, go away. You are too loud. You are bothering me."
+
+Lily felt hurt. She did not understand why Tom did not want to hear her music. She thought he would like it. She thought he would be proud of her. She thought he would play with her.
+
+She ran to her room and cried. She hugged her teddy bear and said, "Teddy, you are my friend. You like my music. You do not ignore me."
+
+Then she heard a knock on the door. It was Tom. He said, "Lily, I'm sorry. I was rude to you. I was busy with my homework, but that was not a good reason to ignore you. You are my sister and I love you. Can I hear your song now?"
+
+Lily wiped her tears and smiled. She said, "Yes, Tom, you can hear my song. Come in and sit with me and Teddy. We will sing and dance and play for you."
+
+And they did. And Tom clapped and cheered and hugged Lily. And Lily was happy. And they all liked the music.
+Timmy was a dog who liked to wander. He did not listen to his owner, who told him to stay in the yard. He wanted to see new things and smell new smells. He thought he was very brave and smart.
+
+One day, he saw a hole in the fence. He squeezed through it and ran away. He felt free and happy. He did not know that there was a busy road on the other side of the fence. He did not hear the cars and trucks that zoomed by.
+
+He saw a cat who was sitting on a wall. He barked at the cat and chased it. The cat hissed and scratched him. He felt a sting on his nose. He yelped and ran away. He did not know that the cat had a flea. The flea jumped on him and bit him. He felt itchy and sore.
+
+He wandered around, looking for his way back. He was hungry and thirsty and tired. He missed his owner and his bowl and his bed. He wished he had been obedient and stayed in the yard.
+
+He saw a big dog who was walking with a man. He thought the dog was friendly and wanted to play. He wagged his tail and ran towards the dog. He did not see the leash that the man held. He did not hear the man shout "Stop!"
+
+The big dog did not like Timmy. He growled and snapped at him. He bit him hard on his neck. He shook him like a toy. He did not let go.
+
+Timmy cried and whimpered. He felt pain and fear. He wanted his owner to save him. He wanted to say he was sorry. But it was too late. The big dog had killed him.
+Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play with their scooters in the park. They had red scooters that were fast and shiny.
+
+One day, a big boy came to the park. He had a black scooter that was bigger and louder than Lily and Ben's scooters. He said, "Your scooters are silly and small. My scooter is tough and cool. Give me your scooters and I will give you mine."
+
+Lily and Ben were scared of the big boy. They did not want to change their scooters. They liked their scooters very much. They said, "No, thank you. We do not want your scooter. We want our scooters. Please go away."
+
+The big boy was angry. He said, "You are mean and rude. I will take your scooters by force." He tried to grab Lily's scooter, but Ben pushed him away. He said, "Leave us alone. You are not tough, you are a bully. We are not afraid of you."
+
+Lily and Ben ran away with their scooters. They found a nice spot under a tree. They hugged each other and smiled. They said, "We are happy with our scooters. We do not need to change them. We are tough and brave. We are best friends."
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a lot of fun with the equipment. They can slide, swing, climb and skip.
+
+One day, they see a new equipment. It is a big seesaw. It looks like a lot of fun. Anna and Ben run to the seesaw. They want to try it.
+
+"Can I go first?" Anna asks.
+
+"OK, you can go first. I will push you up and down." Ben says.
+
+Anna climbs on one end of the seesaw. Ben pushes the other end down. Anna goes up in the air. She laughs and screams. She likes the seesaw.
+
+But then, something bad happens. The seesaw breaks. It is not dependable. It is old and rusty. Anna falls down from the air. She hits the ground hard. She cries and cries. She is hurt.
+
+Ben is scared. He runs to Anna. He tries to help her. He says he is sorry. He did not know the seesaw was bad.
+
+But Anna is very angry. She does not want to be friends with Ben anymore. She says he is mean and stupid. She says he broke the seesaw on purpose. She says he is not a good friend.
+
+Ben is very sad. He does not understand why Anna is so mad. He did not mean to hurt her. He just wanted to have fun. He says he is sorry again and again. But Anna does not listen. She does not forgive him.
+
+Anna and Ben are not friends anymore. They do not play in the park anymore. They do not skip, slide, swing or climb anymore. They are lonely and unhappy. The end.
+Lily and Max are friends. They like to play outside. They have a big yard with many trees and flowers. Sometimes they race each other to see who is faster.
+
+One day, they decide to race to the big oak tree at the end of the yard. They count to three and then run as fast as they can. Lily is ahead, but Max is close behind. They laugh and shout as they run.
+
+"Come on, Max, you can do it!" Lily says.
+
+"I'm coming, I'm coming!" Max says.
+
+But then, they hear a loud boom. It is thunder. They look up and see dark clouds in the sky. It is going to rain. They don't like rain. It makes them wet and cold.
+
+"Let's go back to the house!" Lily says.
+
+"No, let's go to the shelter!" Max says.
+
+The shelter is a small wooden hut that Max's dad built for them. It is in the corner of the yard, near the fence. It has a door, a window, and a roof. It is cozy and warm inside. It has a rug, a lamp, and some toys. It is their favorite place to play.
+
+"OK, let's go to the shelter!" Lily says.
+
+They change their direction and race to the shelter. They reach it just as the rain starts to fall. They open the door and go inside. They close the door and turn on the lamp. They sit on the rug and hug each other.
+
+"We made it!" Lily says.
+
+"We did!" Max says.
+
+They smile and look around. They see their toys, their books, and their snacks. They have everything they need. They are happy and safe.
+
+"This is the perfect shelter!" Lily says.
+
+"It is!" Max says.
+
+They start to play and talk. They don't mind the rain anymore. They have each other and their shelter. They are the best friends in the world.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They had a big tent that they liked to hide in. They pretended it was a castle or a spaceship or a cave. Sometimes they brought their toys or books or snacks inside the tent.
+
+One day, they heard a loud noise outside the tent. They peeked out and saw a big dog. The dog was filthy. It had mud and leaves and sticks all over its fur. It looked hungry and angry. It barked and growled and ran towards the tent.
+
+"Help!" Tom and Lily shouted. They were scared of the dog. They zipped up the tent and hoped the dog would go away. But the dog did not go away. It scratched and bit the tent. It made holes and tears in the fabric. It tried to get inside the tent.
+
+Tom and Lily hugged each other and cried. They wished their mom or dad would come and save them. They did not know what to do. They prayed for a miracle.
+
+Suddenly, they heard another noise. It was a whistle. It was their dad. He had come home from work. He saw the dog and the tent and his children. He ran to the garden and shouted at the dog. "Go away! Leave them alone!" He threw a stick at the dog. The dog was scared of the dad. It ran away with the stick in its mouth.
+
+Tom and Lily unzipped the tent and ran to their dad. They hugged him and thanked him. They were so happy and relieved. Their dad hugged them back and smiled. He was glad they were safe. He looked at the tent and shook his head. It was ruined. It was filthy.
+
+"Sorry, dad," Tom and Lily said. "We liked the tent."
+
+"It's okay, kids," their dad said. "We can get a new tent. But you are more important than a tent. I love you."
+
+"I love you too, dad," Tom and Lily said.
+
+They went inside the house and had some cookies and milk. They forgot about the dog and the tent. They were happy to be with their dad.
+One day, Tom and his mom went to the big store. Tom saw many things he liked, like toys and books and candy. He wanted to buy them all, but his mom said no. She said they only had money for what they needed, not what they wanted.
+
+"Why do we need money?" Tom asked.
+
+"Money is what we use to buy things, like food and clothes and oxygen," his mom said.
+
+"Oxygen? What is oxygen?" Tom asked.
+
+"Oxygen is what we breathe, Tom. It is in the air, but sometimes the air is bad and we need to buy oxygen to make it good," his mom said.
+
+Tom looked around and saw some people wearing masks on their faces. They had tubes that went to big tanks on their backs. Tom thought they looked funny.
+
+"Are they buying oxygen, mom?" Tom asked.
+
+"Yes, they are, Tom. They need oxygen because they are sick or old or live in a place where the air is very bad," his mom said.
+
+"Can we buy oxygen, too, mom?" Tom asked.
+
+"No, we don't need to, Tom. We are healthy and young and live in a place where the air is good enough. We are lucky, Tom," his mom said.
+
+Tom nodded, but he still wanted to buy oxygen. He thought it would be fun to breathe from a tank and wear a mask. He thought his mom was ignorant. She did not know how cool oxygen was. He decided to buy oxygen when he grew up and had his own money. He did not know that oxygen was not a toy, but a necessity. He did not know that buying oxygen was not fun, but sad. He did not know that he was ignorant, too.
+Anna liked to play with her coins. She had many coins in a jar. Some were big and shiny, some were small and dull. She liked to count them, stack them, and make them spin. She was a playful girl who liked to have fun.
+
+One day, she found a new coin in her jar. It was different from the others. It was round and gold, and had a picture of a lion on one side and a star on the other. Anna wondered where it came from. She wondered who gave it to her. She wondered what it meant.
+
+She showed the coin to her mom. Her mom smiled and hugged her. She said, "This is a special coin, Anna. It was your grandpa's coin. He gave it to me when I was a little girl, and now I give it to you. He loved lions and stars, and he loved you very much. He wanted you to have this coin to remember him by."
+
+Anna felt happy and sad at the same time. She missed her grandpa, who had gone to heaven. She remembered how he used to play with her, tell her stories, and make her laugh. She loved him very much, too. She thanked her mom and kissed her.
+
+She put the coin in her pocket and ran outside. She wanted to play with her friends and show them her coin. She wanted to tell them about her grandpa and how he was a lion and a star. She wanted to share her joy and her memory. She was a playful girl who liked to have fun.
+Lily and Sam were at the big store with Mom. They liked to look at all the things in the store. Mom let them sit in the cart and push some buttons. Lily saw a big teddy bear on a shelf. She wanted the teddy bear. She said to Mom, "Mom, I want the teddy bear. Please, please, please!"
+
+Mom said, "No, Lily, you have enough toys at home. You don't need the teddy bear. It is too expensive."
+
+Lily was not happy. She started to cry and scream. She said, "I want the teddy bear! I want the teddy bear! Give me the teddy bear!" She demanded the teddy bear.
+
+Sam was scared of Lily's loud voice. He hugged his blanket and tried to hide in the cart. He wished Lily would stop crying. He saw a small book on another shelf. He liked the book. It had pictures of animals and colors. He said to Mom, "Mom, can I have the book? It is not expensive. It is only one coin."
+
+Mom said, "Yes, Sam, you can have the book. You are a good boy. You don't cry and scream. You ask nicely." She took the book and put it in the cart.
+
+Lily saw that Sam got a book. She was more angry. She said, "That is not fair! Sam got a book and I got nothing! I want the teddy bear and the book! Give me both!" She demanded both.
+
+Mom said, "No, Lily, you can't have both. You can't have anything. You are a bad girl. You cry and scream and demand. You need to calm down and say sorry." She took Lily out of the cart and held her in her arms.
+
+Lily felt Mom's warm hug. She felt a little sorry. She said, "Sorry, Mom. I was mean. I don't need the teddy bear. I just want you."
+
+Mom said, "I love you, Lily. But you need to learn to be nice and polite. You can't always get what you want. You need to share and be happy with what you have."
+
+Lily nodded. She said, "I love you, Mom. Can I hug Sam and his book?"
+
+Mom said, "Yes, you can. If Sam lets you. He is your brother and he loves you too."
+
+Lily hugged Sam and his book. Sam hugged Lily and his blanket. They both smiled. They were happy in the cart. Mom smiled too. She was happy with her kids. They went to pay for the book and go home.

+
+"Hey, that's my doll!" Sara shouts. She runs to the boy and tries to take Lily back.
+
+"No, it's mine now!" the boy says. He pushes Sara away and runs.
+
+Sara cries and runs to her mom. Her mom hugs her and says, "Don't worry, sweetie. We'll find your doll. Let's go after him."
+
+They follow the boy to a big tree. He is hiding behind it with Lily. Sara's mom says, "Excuse me, young man. That doll belongs to Sara. Please give it back to her."
+
+The boy looks at Sara's mom and then at Sara. He sees her tears and hears her sniffles. He feels sorry for her. He says, "I'm sorry. I just wanted a furry doll too. I don't have any toys at home."
+
+He gives Lily back to Sara. Sara hugs Lily and says, "Thank you. I'm sorry too. You can play with Lily if you want. She likes to make friends."
+
+The boy smiles and says, "Really? Can I? Thank you. You are very nice."

+
+"Look, Will, candy!" Tom says. "Let's eat some!"
+
+"OK, Tom, but we have to share," Will says. "And we have to be careful. Some candy might be bad."
+
+They open the bag and take out some candy. They see many colors and shapes. They each pick one and put it in their mouth.
+
+Tom chews his candy. It is sweet and yummy. He smiles.
+
+Will chews his candy. It is sour and yucky. He makes a face.
+
+"Yuck, Tom, this candy is sour!" Will says. "I don't like it!"
+
+"Sorry, Will, maybe you picked the wrong one," Tom says. "Here, try this one. It is pink and round. It looks good."
+
+Will takes the pink candy from Tom. He hopes it is better. He puts it in his mouth and chews.
+
+But the pink candy is sour too. It is even more sour than the first one. Will spits it out.
+
+"Tom, this candy is sour too!" Will says. "It is worse than the other one! I think this bag of candy is bad. We should throw it away."
+
+"OK, Will, let's throw it away," Tom says. "Maybe someone left it here on purpose. Maybe they wanted to trick us. Let's go find some other snack. Something that is not sour."
+
+They throw the bag of candy in the trash. They leave the park and go to the store. They buy some cookies and milk. They are not sour. They are sweet and good. They share them and enjoy them.
+
+Tom and Will are friends. They like to play in the park. But they don't like sour candy. They like cookies and milk.
+Lily and Max are best friends. They like to play in the park every day. They slide, swing, and run with their dog, Spot. One day, it is very cold and windy. Lily and Max wear their jackets and hats.
+
+"Let's go to the big tree," Max says. "It is warm and cozy there."
+
+"OK," Lily says. "But be careful. The ground is hard and slippery."

+They hold hands and walk to the big tree. Spot follows them, wagging his tail. They sit under the tree and hug each other. They feel warm and happy.
+
+"I like you, Lily," Max says. "You are my best friend."

+Lila and Ben were at the zoo with their mom. They saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and zebras. But their favorite was the ostrich. The ostrich was very big and had a long neck and legs. It had black and white feathers and a small head.
+
+"Look, mom, the ostrich is stretching its neck!" Lila said, pointing at the bird.
+
+"Yes, it is. Do you know why it does that?" mom asked.
+
+"Maybe it wants to see something far away," Ben guessed.
+
+"Maybe. Or maybe it wants to show off its feathers," mom said.
+
+Lila and Ben wanted to stretch their necks too. They stood on their toes and lifted their chins. They tried to make their necks as long as the ostrich's.
+
+"Can you see me, ostrich?" Lila asked.
+
+The ostrich looked at them and made a funny noise. It sounded like a snort.
+
+"I think it sees you, Lila. And I think it likes you," mom said, smiling.
+
+"Really?" Lila said, happy.
+

+
+Lila and Ben hugged their mom. They liked the ostrich and the zoo. They had a lot of fun.
+Tim and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. But today they have a fight. They want to play with the same toy car. Tim says it is his car. Sam says he saw it first. They pull and push the car. They yell and cry.
+
+A man sees them. He is bald. He has no hair on his head. He is nice. He works in the park. He comes to Tim and Sam. He says, "Stop fighting. Fighting is bad. You can share the car. Or you can play with other toys. There are many toys in the park."
+
+Tim and Sam listen to the man. They feel sorry. They say sorry to each other. They hug and make up. They decide to share the car. They take turns to drive it. They have fun. They thank the man. He smiles and says, "You are welcome. You are good friends. I am glad you are happy."

+The man tells them a story. He says, "When I was a boy, I had hair. But then I got sick. I lost my hair. It never grew back. I was sad. But then I learned to be happy. I learned to be kind. I learned to help others. I learned to enjoy the seasons. The seasons are the times of the year. Spring, summer, fall and winter. Each season has something special. Do you know what they are?"
+
+Tim and Sam nod. They know the seasons. They say, "Spring has flowers. Summer has sun. Fall has leaves. Winter has snow." The man says, "That's right. And each season has something to do. You can plant seeds in spring. You can swim in summer. You can rake leaves in fall. You can build snowmen in winter. The seasons are fun. The seasons are beautiful. The seasons are a gift."
+
+Tim and Sam agree. They say, "The seasons are fun. The seasons are beautiful. The seasons are a gift. And you are a gift too. You are a nice man. You are a good friend. You are a bald hero." The man laughs. He says, "Thank you. You are very sweet. You are very smart. You are very brave. You are my friends too. You are my hairy heroes." They all laugh and hug. They are happy. They are friends. The end.
+One day, a boy and a girl went to the beach with their mom and dad. They liked to play in the sand and look for shells and rocks. The boy found a big red shell that was shiny and smooth. He showed it to his sister and said, "Look what I found! It is a red oyster!"
+
+The girl was curious and wanted to see what was inside the red oyster. She asked her brother to open it for her. The boy tried to open the red oyster with his hands, but it was too hard. He looked around and saw a big rock. He said, "I have an idea! I will use this rock to open the red oyster!"
+
+He took the rock and hit the red oyster with it. The red oyster cracked open and made a loud noise. The boy and the girl looked inside the red oyster and saw something shiny and round. It was a pearl! The pearl was white and sparkly and looked like a star. The boy and the girl were very happy and said, "Wow! We found a pearl in the red oyster!"
+
+They ran to their mom and dad and showed them the pearl. Their mom and dad were very proud and said, "You are very lucky and smart! You found a treasure in the red oyster!" They gave the boy and the girl a hug and a kiss and said, "You can keep the pearl and the red oyster as a souvenir of this day. You can also lead us to where you found the red oyster and maybe we can find more!"
+
+The boy and the girl smiled and nodded. They took their mom and dad by the hand and led them to the spot where they found the red oyster. They had fun looking for more shells and rocks and pearls. They had a great day at the beach.
+Lily liked to help her mom in the kitchen. She wore a pink apron with flowers on it. She helped mom stir the soup, cut the bread and set the table. She was a good helper.
+
+But after a while, Lily felt sleepy. She yawned and rubbed her eyes. She wanted to take a nap. Mom saw that Lily was tired and said, "Why don't you go to your room and rest, sweetie? I'll call you when dinner is ready."
+
+Lily nodded and took off her apron. She walked to her room and saw her teddy bear on the bed. She hugged him and climbed under the covers. She closed her eyes and fell asleep.
+
+She dreamed that she was driving a big car with her teddy bear. They went to the park, the zoo and the ice cream shop. They had a lot of fun. Lily smiled in her sleep.
+
+Mom came to wake her up when dinner was ready. She kissed her on the cheek and said, "Wake up, Lily. It's time to eat. You had a long day, didn't you?"
+
+Lily opened her eyes and stretched. She saw her mom and said, "Yes, mom. I helped you in the kitchen and I drove a car with teddy. It was a good day."
+
+Mom smiled and said, "That sounds wonderful, Lily. I'm glad you had a good day. Now let's go and enjoy the soup you helped me make."
+
+Lily got up and put on her apron again. She held her mom's hand and walked to the kitchen. She was hungry and happy. She loved her mom and her teddy bear.
+Tom and Sue are twins. They like to play with their toys in their room. But sometimes they fight over the same toy. One day, they both want to play with the red car. They pull and tug and shout.
+
+"Give me the car!" Tom says.
+
+"No, it is mine!" Sue says.
+
+They are very loud. Mom hears them and comes to their room. She is not happy.
+
+"Tom and Sue, why are you fighting?" Mom asks. "You have many toys to share. Fighting is not nice. It makes God sad."
+
+Tom and Sue stop fighting. They feel sorry.
+
+"Sorry, Mom," they say.
+
+Mom smiles. She hugs them and says, "It is OK. I love you both. But you need to learn to share and be kind. Do you know what you can do to make God happy?"
+
+Tom and Sue shake their heads.
+
+Mom says, "You can pray. Praying is talking to God. You can say thank you for your toys and your family. You can ask God to help you be good and love each other. You can also listen to God. He speaks to your heart. He gives you peace and joy."
+
+Tom and Sue nod. They want to pray. They close their eyes and fold their hands. They say a prayer with Mom.
+
+"Dear God, thank you for our toys and our family. Please help us to be good and love each other. Please speak to our hearts. We love you. Amen."
+
+They open their eyes and smile. They feel happy. They hear a tap on the window. They look and see a bird. The bird sings a song. It sounds like God is saying, "I love you too."
+
+Tom and Sue hug Mom and each other. They decide to share the red car and play together. They are not loud anymore. They are quiet and gentle. They are happy.
+Lily liked to play in the pond with her toy boat. She saw many fish and ducks and bugs in the water. She was happy and smiled a lot.
+
+One day, she saw a big green frog on a rock. She wanted to make friends with it. She said, "Hello, frog. Do you want to play with me and my boat?"
+
+The frog was grumpy and did not like to be bothered. It said, "No, I don't want to play with you. Go away and leave me alone."
+
+Lily was sad and hurt. She said, "But why? You look lonely and bored. I can share my boat with you. It is fun and fast."
+
+The frog was angry and rude. It said, "I don't care about your boat. It is noisy and silly. I like to sit on my rock and be quiet. Now, remove your boat from my pond or I will splash you with water."
+
+Lily did not listen to the frog. She said, "You are mean and selfish. You can't tell me what to do. This is not your pond. It is for everyone to enjoy."
+
+The frog was furious and mean. It jumped into the water and swam to Lily's boat. It bit the boat with its teeth and made a hole in it. The boat sank and Lily lost her toy.
+
+Lily cried and screamed. She said, "You are a bad frog. You broke my boat. You made me sad. I hate you."
+
+The frog did not care. It said, "Good. That is what you get for annoying me. Now, go away and don't come back."
+
+Lily ran away from the pond. She was very unhappy and scared. She never played with the frog again. The frog stayed on its rock and was grumpy and alone. The end.
+Lily loved to write in her journal. She wrote about her day, her friends, her toys, and her dreams. She had a pink journal with a lock and a key. She kept it under her pillow, where no one could find it.
+
+One day, she came home from school and saw her brother, Max, in her room. He had her journal in his hand and was trying to open it. Lily was very angry and scared. She ran to him and shouted, "Max, give me my journal! That is mine, not yours!"
+
+Max laughed and said, "No, I want to see what you write. Maybe you have a secret crush or something. Come on, Lily, share with your brother." He held the journal high above his head, out of Lily's reach.
+
+Lily tried to jump and grab the journal, but she was too short. She felt tears in her eyes. She wished her mom or dad were home. They were dependable and would help her. But they were at work, and Max was the only one there. She felt helpless and sad.
+
+Then, she had an idea. She remembered that she had a spare key for her journal in her backpack. She ran to get it, hoping Max would not notice. She found the key and ran back to her room. She saw Max still holding the journal, but he looked bored. He was about to put it down.
+
+Lily seized the moment and shouted, "Hey, Max, look what I have!" She showed him the key and smiled. She saw Max's eyes widen and his mouth drop. He was surprised and curious. He wanted the key.
+
+Lily used this to her advantage. She said, "If you give me my journal, I will let you see one page. Just one. But you have to promise not to tell anyone or laugh at me. Deal?"
+
+Max thought for a second. He really wanted to see what Lily wrote, but he also liked to tease her. He decided to agree. He said, "OK, deal. But you better not trick me." He handed her the journal and reached for the key.
+
+Lily took the journal and gave him the key. She opened the journal and flipped to a page. She showed him the page and said, "This is what I wrote today. It is about you."
+
+Max looked at the page and read it. It said, "Max is my brother. He is sometimes mean and annoying, but he is also funny and smart. He makes me laugh and helps me with my homework. He protects me from bullies and plays with me. He is my best friend. I love him."
+
+Max felt a warm feeling in his chest. He looked at Lily and saw her smiling. He smiled back and said, "Lily, this is very nice. Thank you for sharing. I love you too."
+
+Lily hugged him and said, "You're welcome. I'm glad you like it. Can I have my key back now?"
+
+Max nodded and gave her the key. He said, "Sure. Here you go. And I'm sorry for taking your journal. That was not nice of me. Can you forgive me?"
+
+Lily nodded and said, "Of course. You are my brother. We always forgive each other. But don't do it again, OK?"
+
+Max agreed and said, "OK. I won't. Do you want to play with me?"
+
+Lily said, "Yes, I do. What do you want to play?"
+
+Max said, "How about we pretend we are spies and we have to find a secret treasure?"
+
+Lily said, "That sounds fun. And exciting. Let's do it."
+
+They left the room and went to the living room. They took some toys and made a map and a code. They had a lot of fun and forgot about their fight. They were happy and grateful for each other. They were siblings and friends.
+Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play together at school. They are popular because they are kind and funny. One day, they have a new game. They want to weigh things.
+
+They find a scale in the classroom. They put different things on the scale and see the numbers. They weigh books, toys, pencils and more. They have fun and learn new words.
+
+"Look, this book is heavy. It weighs ten," Tom says.
+
+"Wow, that's a lot. How much do you weigh, Tom?" Lily asks.
+
+"I don't know. Let's find out," Tom says. He steps on the scale and sees the number. "I weigh twenty-five. How about you, Lily?"
+
+Lily steps on the scale and sees the number. "I weigh twenty-three. We are almost the same," she says.
+
+They hear a knock on the window. They look and see their teacher, Miss Lee. She smiles and waves at them.
+
+"Hello, Tom and Lily. What are you doing?" she asks.
+
+"We are weighing things, Miss Lee. It's fun and we learn new words," Tom says.
+
+"That's great. I'm glad you are enjoying your game. Do you want to show me what you weighed?" Miss Lee says.
+
+"Yes, please. Come in, Miss Lee. We have many things to show you," Lily says.
+
+They open the door and invite Miss Lee in. They show her their scale and their things. They tell her the numbers and the words. Miss Lee is proud of them. She gives them a hug and a sticker. They are happy and proud too. They thank Miss Lee and continue their game. They are good friends and good students.
+Tom and Lily are playing in the park. They see a big bird in the sky. The bird has yellow and black feathers. It is a bee-eater.
+
+"Look, Lily, a bee-eater!" Tom says. "It can fly very fast and catch bees with its beak."
+
+"I want to fly like a bee-eater," Lily says. "Can we fly, Tom?"
+
+Tom thinks for a moment. He has an idea. He picks up a stick and ties a string to it. He ties a paper kite to the other end of the string. He gives the stick to Lily.
+
+"Here, Lily, this is your kite. You can fly it in the wind. It will look like a bird."
+
+Lily smiles and takes the stick. She runs with the kite behind her. The kite goes up in the air. It flaps and dances in the wind. Lily feels like she is flying.
+
+"Wow, Tom, this is fun! Thank you for the kite!" Lily says.
+
+Tom runs after Lily. He is happy to see her happy. He sees a flower on the ground. It is a daisy. He picks it up and puts it in his pocket. He wants to give it to Lily later.
+
+But then, something bad happens. Lily steps on a bee. The bee stings her toe. Lily cries out in pain. She drops the stick. The kite falls down.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow! My toe, my toe!" Lily says.
+
+Tom hears Lily cry. He runs to her. He sees the bee on her toe. He takes the bee off. He blows on her toe. He hugs her.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily, I'm sorry. Are you okay?" Tom says.
+
+Lily sniffles. She looks at her toe. It is red and swollen. It hurts a lot.
+
+"It hurts, Tom, it hurts. The bee was sour. It bit me," Lily says.
+
+Tom feels sorry for Lily. He takes the daisy out of his pocket. He gives it to Lily.
+
+"Here, Lily, this is for you. It is a daisy. It is pretty and sweet. It will make you feel better," Tom says.
+
+Lily takes the daisy. She smells it. It is nice. She smiles a little.
+
+"Thank you, Tom, thank you. You are a good friend. The daisy is nice. It makes me feel a little better," Lily says.
+
+Tom and Lily hug. They sit on the grass. They look at the sky. They see the bee-eater fly by. They wave at it. They are still friends.
+One day, a young boy named Tom and his dog Spot went to the park. They saw a big square on the grass. It was a blanket. Someone had left it there.
+
+"Look, Spot!" Tom said. "A square! Let's play on it!"
+
+Tom and Spot ran to the blanket. They jumped on it and rolled on it. They had fun.
+
+But then, they heard a voice. It was a girl. She was angry.
+
+"Hey, that's my blanket!" she said. "Get off it!"
+
+Tom and Spot looked at the girl. She was holding a basket. She had a hat and a dress. She looked nice.
+
+"Sorry," Tom said. "We didn't know. We just wanted to play."
+
+The girl frowned. She walked to the blanket. She picked it up. She shook it. She made Tom and Spot fall off.
+
+"That's not nice," Tom said. "You hurt us."
+
+The girl looked at Tom and Spot. She saw that they were sad. She felt sorry.
+
+"I'm sorry, too," she said. "I didn't mean to hurt you. I was looking for a place to have a picnic. But I couldn't find one. So I left my blanket here. But then I saw you on it. I got mad."
+
+Tom and Spot nodded. They understood.
+
+"Can we be friends?" Tom asked. "Can we share your blanket?"
+
+The girl smiled. She nodded.
+
+"Sure," she said. "You can be my friends. You can share my blanket. We can have a picnic together. I have some sandwiches and juice. Do you want some?"
+
+Tom and Spot wagged their tails. They liked sandwiches and juice.
+
+"Yes, please," they said.
+
+The girl spread the blanket on the grass. She invited Tom and Spot to sit with her. She gave them some sandwiches and juice. They ate and drank. They talked and laughed. They had fun.
+
+They covered the blanket with crumbs and smiles. They made a new friend. They were happy.
+Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play catch with a ball. They have a big ball and a little ball. They throw the big ball to each other. They have fun.
+
+One day, they see a new ball in the park. It is very shiny and round. It has a number on it. The number is zero. Tom and Sam want to play with the new ball. They run to the new ball. They do not see the sign.
+
+The sign says: Do not touch. This ball is not a toy. This ball is a bomb.
+
+Tom and Sam do not know what a bomb is. They think it is a funny word. They pick up the new ball. They try to throw it to each other. But the new ball is heavy and hard. They cannot throw it far.
+
+The new ball makes a loud noise. It makes a big flash. It makes a lot of smoke. It hurts Tom and Sam. They fall to the ground. They do not get up. They do not play catch anymore. The new ball is not fun. The new ball is bad. The end.
+Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play with cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They make noises like vroom and beep when they move the cars.
+
+One day, they decide to have a race. They choose their fastest cars and line them up on the floor. They say ready, set, go and push their cars with their hands. The cars speed across the room, zooming and spinning.
+
+Tim's car is red and shiny. It is very fast and soon it is ahead of Sam's car. Sam's car is blue and old. It is not as fast as Tim's car, but Sam does not give up. He pushes his car harder and harder.
+
+But then, Tim's car hits a mug. The mug is on the table. Mom left it there when she went to answer the phone. The mug is big and heavy. It is full of hot tea. Tim's car makes the mug fall off the table. The mug breaks on the floor. The tea spills everywhere.
+
+Mom hears the crash and comes back. She sees the mess and the broken mug. She is angry and sad. She loves that mug. It was a gift from Grandma. Grandma is deaf. She cannot hear very well. But she can make beautiful things with clay. She made the mug for Mom.
+
+Mom scolds Tim and Sam. She tells them to be careful and not to play with cars near the table. She tells them to help her clean up the mess. She tells them to say sorry to Grandma.
+
+Tim and Sam feel bad. They did not mean to break the mug. They love Grandma too. They help Mom clean up the mess. They say sorry to Grandma. They hug Mom and Grandma. They promise to be more careful next time. They still like to play with cars, but they do not speed near the table anymore.
+Lila and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. They had a big red ball that they could bounce and kick and throw. One day, they decided to take their ball to the street, where there was more space. But they forgot to look both ways before they crossed.
+
+A loud car came fast and hit their ball. The ball flew away and popped. Lila and Ben were very sad and scared. They ran back to the sidewalk and hugged each other. They started to cry.
+
+A kind lady saw what happened and stopped her car. She got out and walked to them. She had a compassionate face and a gentle voice.
+
+"Are you okay, little ones?" she asked. "I'm so sorry about your ball. That was my fault. I didn't see you."
+
+Lila and Ben nodded. They were not hurt, but they missed their ball.
+
+The lady smiled and opened her trunk. She took out a new ball. It was blue and had stars on it. She gave it to them.
+
+"Here, this is for you. I hope you like it. It's a special ball. It can shake and make noises. Do you want to try it?"
+
+Lila and Ben wiped their tears and looked at the ball. They were curious and happy. They said thank you to the lady and took the ball. They pressed a button and the ball started to shake and play music. They laughed and clapped.
+
+The lady watched them and felt glad. She had bought the ball for her niece, but she thought Lila and Ben needed it more. She had a feeling they would have fun with it. She said goodbye and drove away.
+
+Lila and Ben waved to her and thanked her again. They decided to play with their new ball in the park, where it was safer. They held hands and crossed the street, looking both ways. They learned a lesson and made a friend. They were happy.
+Lily and Ben were twins who loved to swim. They had a big pool in their backyard, where they played with their toys and splashed each other. Sometimes, their mom or dad would join them and teach them how to swim faster and safer.
+
+One day, they saw a big truck on the road in front of their house. The truck had a picture of a dolphin on it, and it said "Sea World". Lily and Ben were curious and excited. They asked their mom if they could go and see the dolphins.
+
+"Maybe another day, sweeties," their mom said. "Sea World is very far from here, and we have to buy tickets and pack our bags. But you can watch some videos of dolphins on the TV, if you want."
+
+Lily and Ben were disappointed, but they agreed to watch the videos. They saw how the dolphins jumped and spun and made funny noises. They learned that dolphins were very smart and friendly animals, and that they lived in the ocean.
+
+"I wish we could swim with the dolphins," Lily said.
+
+"Me too," Ben said. "They look like fun."
+
+The next day, they decided to pretend that they were dolphins in their pool. They wore their goggles and fins, and made dolphin sounds. They jumped and spun and played with their toys. They had a lot of fun.
+
+But then, they heard a loud noise. It was the truck from the road. It had stopped in front of their house, and the driver was talking to their mom.
+
+"Hello, ma'am," the driver said. "I'm sorry to bother you, but I have a problem. One of my dolphins escaped from the truck, and I can't find it. Have you seen it?"
+
+Lily and Ben looked at each other. They had an idea. They quickly got out of the pool, and ran to the driver.
+
+"We saw it, we saw it!" they shouted. "It's in our pool!"
+
+The driver was surprised and happy. He followed them to the backyard, and saw the dolphin swimming happily in the pool. He thanked Lily and Ben for finding it, and said he would take it back to Sea World.
+
+"You two are very brave and kind," he said. "You saved the dolphin. How would you like to come with me to Sea World, and see the other dolphins?"
+
+Lily and Ben were overjoyed. They looked at their mom, who nodded and smiled.
+
+"Yes, please!" they said.
+
+They grabbed their towels and bags, and hopped on the truck. They waved goodbye to their mom, and said hello to the dolphin. They were going to swim with the dolphins, after all.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys. Lily has a doll with blue eyes. Ben has a car that is fast. One day, they want to play with each other's toys.
+
+"Can I have your doll?" Ben asks Lily.
+
+"No, she is mine. I value her a lot. She is pretty and soft," Lily says.
+
+"Can I have your car?" Lily asks Ben.
+
+"No, it is mine. I value it a lot. It is fast and fun," Ben says.
+
+They are both sad and angry. They do not want to share. They do not want to play together.
+
+Then, they see a big dog. The dog is hungry and mean. It runs towards them. It wants to bite them and their toys.
+
+"Help!" Lily and Ben scream.
+
+They are scared. They grab their toys and run away. They run to their moms.
+
+The dog chases them. It is faster than them. It is almost near them.
+
+Then, Lily has an idea. She throws her doll to the dog. The dog stops and catches the doll. It bites the doll's eyes and hair.
+
+"Hey, that is my doll!" Lily cries.
+
+Ben sees what Lily did. He feels sorry for her. He throws his car to the dog. The dog drops the doll and catches the car. It bites the car's wheels and doors.
+
+"Hey, that is my car!" Ben cries.
+
+Lily and Ben reach their moms. They hug them. They are safe.
+
+They look at the dog. The dog is happy. It plays with the doll and the car.
+
+Lily and Ben look at each other. They smile.
+
+"Thank you for saving me," Lily says.
+
+"Thank you for saving me," Ben says.
+
+They hug each other. They are friends again.
+
+They do not care about the doll and the car. They value each other more.
+Tom and Anna liked to play in the park. They had a ball and a kite. They ran and laughed and had fun.
+
+One day, they saw a big dog in the park. It was wild and loud. It barked and chased the birds and the squirrels. Tom and Anna were scared. They hid behind a tree.
+
+"Who is that dog?" Tom asked. "I don't know," Anna said. "Maybe it is lost. Maybe it is hungry. Maybe it is angry."
+
+They watched the dog for a while. It looked sad and tired. It lay down on the grass and whimpered.
+
+Tom felt sorry for the dog. He was thoughtful. He had an idea. He whispered to Anna. "Let's give the dog our ball. Maybe it will like it. Maybe it will be happy. Maybe it will be our friend."
+
+Anna nodded. She was thoughtful too. She liked Tom's idea. They took their ball and walked slowly to the dog. They smiled and said hello. The dog looked up and wagged its tail.
+
+Tom threw the ball to the dog. The dog caught it and ran back to Tom. It dropped the ball and licked Tom's face. Tom laughed and hugged the dog. Anna passed the kite to the dog. The dog took it and ran to Anna. It dropped the kite and licked Anna's face. Anna laughed and hugged the dog.
+
+They played with the dog for a long time. They were happy. The dog was happy. They were friends.
+Bella was a little bird who loved to fly and sing. She had a big wing and a small wing, but she could still fly very well. She had many friends in the forest, and they liked to play with her.
+
+One day, Bella saw a shiny thing on a branch. She flew over to see what it was. It was a ring, and it sparkled in the sun. Bella thought it was very pretty, and she wanted to have it. She looked around, and saw no one. She took the ring with her beak, and flew away.
+
+She hid the ring in her nest, and felt very happy. She sang a song to herself, and admired the ring. She did not know that the ring belonged to Lily, a fairy who lived in the forest. Lily was very sad, because she had lost her ring. She asked her friends if they had seen it, but no one knew.
+
+The next day, Bella heard a voice near her nest. It was Lily, and she was crying. She said, "Oh, where is my ring? It was a gift from my mother, and it is very special to me. I miss it so much. Please, if anyone has seen it, tell me."
+
+Bella felt a pang in her heart. She realized that she had done something bad. She felt very guilty, and wanted to give the ring back. But she was also afraid, and ashamed. She did not know what to do.
+
+She peeked out of her nest, and saw Lily's sad face. She felt sorry for her, and decided to be brave. She flew out of her nest, and landed on Lily's shoulder. She said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I have your ring. I took it, because I thought it was pretty. But I was wrong. Here, take it back. Please forgive me."
+
+Lily was surprised, and happy. She saw the ring in Bella's beak, and took it gently. She said, "Thank you, Bella. You are very kind to return it. I forgive you. You made a mistake, but you also fixed it. I'm glad you are honest. Do you want to be my friend?"
+
+Bella nodded, and smiled. She felt relieved, and happy. She said, "Yes, I want to be your friend. You are very nice, and your ring is very special. I'm sorry I hurt you. Can we play together?"
+
+Lily nodded, and smiled. She said, "Yes, we can play together. You are very sweet, and your wings are very beautiful. I'm happy you found me. Come on, let's go and find our other friends."
+
+They flew away, hand in hand, and wing in wing. They joined their friends, and had a lot of fun. They laughed, and sang, and played. They were very happy, and very tired. They yawned, and said good night. They slept well, and dreamed of each other. They were the best of friends.
+Lily was a curious girl who liked to explore. One day, she saw a big shadow on the wall of her room. It looked like a monster with horns and claws. Lily was scared, but she wanted to know what it was. She grabbed her flashlight and went to the wall.
+
+She shone the light on the shadow, and it moved. Lily followed it with her flashlight, and saw that it came from a toy on her shelf. It was a dinosaur that her dad gave her. Lily felt silly. It was not a monster, just a toy.
+
+Lily learned that shadows can make things look different, but they are not real. She also learned that she should not be afraid of things she does not understand, but try to find out more. She put the dinosaur next to her bed, and turned off the flashlight. The shadow was gone, and Lily was happy. She hugged the dinosaur and went to sleep. The end.
+Sara was excited to go to the park with her mum and dad. She wanted to play on the swings, the slide and the seesaw. She put on her hat, her coat and her shoes and ran to the door.
+
+"Wait, Sara," her mum said. "You have to take out the bin first. It is full of rubbish and it smells bad."
+
+Sara did not want to take out the bin. She wanted to go to the park. She shrugged and said, "No, mum. I don't want to take out the bin. You do it."
+
+Her mum was angry. She said, "Sara, that is not nice. You have to help with the chores. If you don't take out the bin, you can't go to the park."
+
+Sara did not listen. She said, "I don't care. I want to go to the park. You can't stop me." She opened the door and ran outside.
+
+Her mum and dad followed her. They shouted, "Sara, come back. It is not safe to run on the road. There are cars and bikes and buses. You have to be careful."
+
+But Sara did not hear them. She was too excited to go to the park. She ran across the road without looking. She did not see the big truck that was coming fast. The truck did not see her either. It was too late to stop.
+
+There was a loud noise. Sara was hit by the truck. She fell to the ground. She did not get up. She did not go to the park. She did not take out the bin. She did not say sorry to her mum and dad. She did not do anything anymore. She was gone.
+Anna and Ben were playing in the living room. They had many toys, but they liked to observe new things. They saw a candle on the table. It was white and round, and it had a small fire on top.
+
+"Look, a candle!" Anna said. "It is bright and warm."
+
+"Can we touch it?" Ben asked.
+
+"No, no, no!" Anna said. "It is hot and dangerous. We can only look at it."
+
+They went closer to the candle, but not too close. They saw the fire flicker and dance. They saw the wax melt and drip. They smelled the sweet scent of the candle.
+
+"What is this?" Ben asked, pointing at the side of the candle. It was rough and bumpy.
+
+"That is the wick," Anna said. "It is what makes the fire. It is like a string, but hard and rough."
+
+They observed the wick for a while. They wondered how it worked. They wanted to learn more.
+
+"Can we blow the candle?" Ben asked.
+
+"Maybe," Anna said. "But we have to be careful. And we have to ask Mommy first."
+
+They ran to find Mommy. They asked her if they could blow the candle. Mommy said yes, but only if they did it together and gently. She followed them to the living room.
+
+They stood in front of the candle. They took a deep breath. They blew softly. The fire went out. The candle was dark and cold.
+
+"Wow, we did it!" Anna said.
+
+"That was fun!" Ben said.
+
+They hugged each other. They were happy. They had observed a candle.
+Anna and Ben liked to play with their toy cars. They had many cars of different colors and sizes. They liked to make noises and pretend they were driving on the road.
+
+One day, they decided to have a parade with their cars. They lined up their cars on the floor and took turns to lead the parade. Anna went first. She was very bossy. She told Ben what to do and where to go. She said, "Follow me, Ben. You have to go this way. No, not that way. This way. And make your car go beep beep."
+
+Ben did not like Anna being bossy. He wanted to have fun and choose his own way. He said, "No, Anna. I don't want to follow you. I want to go my way. And I want to make my car go vroom vroom."
+
+Anna was angry. She said, "Ben, you have to do what I say. I am the leader of the parade. You have to listen to me."
+
+Ben was angry too. He said, "No, I don't. You are not the leader. You are just bossy. I don't want to play with you."
+
+Then, Ben did something that made Anna very mad. He turned his car around and made it go reverse. He went the opposite way of the parade. He said, "Look, Anna. I am going reverse. I am going away from you. Bye bye, bossy Anna."
+
+Anna was so mad that she cried. She said, "Ben, you are mean. You ruined the parade. Come back here, now."
+
+But Ben did not come back. He kept going reverse. He said, "No, Anna. You are mean. You ruined the fun. I don't want to play with you."
+
+Anna and Ben did not play with their cars for a long time. They were both sad and lonely. They missed each other. They wished they could play together again. They wished they could say sorry and be friends again.
+Lila and Max were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They found a shiny silver coin on the ground and put it on the snowman's nose.
+
+"Look, our snowman has a silver nose!" Lila said.
+
+"It looks like a star!" Max said.
+
+They were very happy with their snowman. But then, a big dog came running towards them. It was black and furry and had sharp teeth. It barked loudly and jumped on the snowman.
+
+"Hey, stop it!" Lila said. "That's our snowman!"
+
+The dog did not listen. It bit the snowman's nose and ran away with the silver coin.
+
+"Give it back!" Max said. "That's our coin!"
+
+They chased the dog, but it was too fast. It disappeared behind a fence.
+
+Lila and Max were very sad and angry. They looked at their snowman. It had no nose and no hat and no scarf. It was just a pile of icy snow.
+
+They started to cry. They wanted their snowman and their coin back. But they could not find the dog or the fence. They were lost in the snow. They felt cold and scared. They wished they had stayed at home.
+Tom and Lily have a dove. They love their dove very much. The dove is white and soft and sings sweet songs. The dove is unique. It has a blue spot on its head. No other dove has a blue spot.
+
+One day, Tom and Lily take their dove to the park. They want to show their dove to their friends. They put their dove in a cage and carry it carefully. They are happy and excited.
+
+At the park, they meet Ben and Mia. Ben and Mia have a dog. The dog is big and brown and barks loud. The dog is not unique. Many dogs look like the dog.
+
+"Look at our dove!" Tom and Lily say. "It has a blue spot on its head. It is unique."
+
+"Wow, your dove is pretty!" Ben and Mia say. "Can we touch it?"
+
+"OK, but be gentle," Tom and Lily say. They open the cage and let Ben and Mia touch the dove.
+
+But the dog sees the dove and wants to play. The dog runs to the cage and jumps on it. The cage falls and breaks. The dove flies away.
+
+"Stop, dog, stop!" Tom and Lily shout. "Come back, dove, come back!"
+
+But the dog chases the dove and the dove flies higher and higher. Tom and Lily cry and run after them. Ben and Mia are sorry and try to help.
+
+Will Tom and Lily get their dove back? Will the dog catch the dove? What will happen next?
+Tim and Lily were playing hide and seek in the park. Tim was the seeker and Lily was the hider. Lily ran behind a big tree and waited for Tim to find her. She was very quiet and still.
+
+Tim looked around the park and tried to guess where Lily was. He saw a swing, a slide, a bench, and some flowers. He did not see Lily. He walked closer to the tree and heard a small sound. He smiled and decided to peek behind the tree.
+
+"Boo!" he shouted as he peeked. He expected to see Lily, but he saw something else. It was a small cat with a cut on its leg. The cat was scared and hissed at Tim. Tim was surprised and stepped back.
+
+Lily heard Tim's shout and came out of her hiding spot. She saw the cat and felt sorry for it. She walked slowly to the cat and said, "Don't be afraid, kitty. We are not going to hurt you. We want to help you. You have a cut and it must hurt."
+
+The cat looked at Lily and saw that she was kind. The cat stopped hissing and let Lily touch it. Lily picked up the cat and said, "Tim, we have to take this cat to the vet. The vet is a doctor for animals. He can make the cut better."
+
+Tim nodded and said, "OK, Lily. Let's go. You are a good friend and a dependable helper. And maybe the cat can be our new friend too." He took Lily's hand and they walked to the vet with the cat. They hoped the cat would be OK.
+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play outside in the sun. They see many things on the earth: grass, flowers, trees, birds, bugs. They smile and laugh when they find something new or funny.
+
+One day, they see a big hole in the ground. They wonder what is inside. They go closer and look. They see a small animal with fur and a long tail. It is a fox. The fox looks at them and makes a sound. "What is that?" Lily asks. "I don't know," Tom says. "Maybe it is saying hello."
+
+They want to say hello back, but they are a little scared. The fox is not like their pets. It is wild and can bite. They stay away from the hole and watch the fox. The fox watches them too. It is curious and not angry.
+
+After a while, the fox goes back into the hole. It is its home. Lily and Tom wave goodbye. They are happy they saw the fox, but they are also happy they are safe. They run back to their house and tell their mom and dad about their adventure. They smile and hug them. They love the earth and all the animals, but they love their family more.
+Tim and Mia were playing in the park. They liked to run, jump and slide on the grass and the swings. They were having a lot of fun.
+
+But then, Tim tripped on a rock and fell down. He hurt his knee and it started to bleed. He cried out loud and felt miserable.
+
+Mia ran to him and saw his knee. She felt sorry for him and tried to help. She said, "Tim, are you OK? Let me see your knee. It looks bad."
+
+Tim showed her his knee and whimpered. He said, "It hurts a lot. I want to go home. I want my mom."
+
+Mia nodded and said, "OK, let's go home. Maybe your mom can make your knee better. She can put a band-aid on it and give you a hug."
+
+She helped him get up and they walked slowly to the gate. On the way, Tim wondered why rocks were so hard and why knees were so soft. He wished he could play without getting hurt. He hoped his knee would heal soon. He was glad Mia was his friend.
+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 each other and sighed.
+
+"Let's talk," Lily said. "Maybe we can think of a fun idea."
+
+"OK," Ben said. "What do you want to talk about?"
+
+Lily thought for a moment. She looked around the room and saw a big cardboard box. She had an idea.
+
+"Let's pretend the box is a spaceship," she said. "We can go to the moon and see the stars."
+
+Ben smiled. He liked the idea. He got up and helped Lily move the box to the middle of the room. They found some crayons and drew buttons and windows on the box. They got inside the box and closed the flap.
+
+"Ready for blast off?" Lily asked.
+
+"Ready!" Ben said.
+
+They counted down from ten and made loud noises. They pretended the box was shaking and flying. They imagined they saw the moon and the stars through the windows. They had fun.
+
+The gloomy day did not seem so gloomy anymore. Lily and Ben were happy. They talked and played until their mom called them for lunch. They left the box in the room, ready for another adventure.
+Tom was a curious boy. He liked to look at everything and ask questions. One day, he saw a big black box in the garage. He wondered what was inside. He asked his mom, but she said it was a surprise for his birthday.
+
+Tom wanted to know the surprise. He waited until his mom was busy in the kitchen. Then he sneaked into the garage. He found the big black box. He tried to open it, but it was locked. He looked for a key, but he could not find one.
+
+He saw a small hole in the box. He thought maybe he could peek inside. He put his eye to the hole. He saw something shiny and round. He was more curious. He put his hand to the hole. He felt something soft and furry. He was very curious. He put his head to the hole. He heard a loud roar.
+
+Tom screamed and ran away. He bumped into his mom. She was angry and scared. She asked him what he was doing. Tom said he was sorry. He said he wanted to see the surprise. He said he saw a shiny and furry thing in the box.
+
+His mom hugged him and calmed him down. She said he was lucky he was not hurt. She said the surprise was a big black ball with a lion's face on it. She said it was a toy that made noises when you touched it. She said it was for his birthday party with his friends.
+
+Tom felt silly and ashamed. He said he was sorry again. He said he would not be curious anymore. He said he would wait for his birthday. He said he would please his mom. His mom smiled and kissed him. She said she loved him. She said he could still have the surprise. She said he could play with the big black ball and the lion's face. She said he could roar with it. Tom smiled and thanked her. He said he loved her too. He said he was happy. He said he would please his mom and the lion.
+Lila and Ben were playing with magnets. They liked to stick them on the fridge and make shapes and letters. Lila had a big magnet that was red and shiny. Ben had a small magnet that was blue and dull.
+
+"Look at my magnet, it is so pretty!" Lila said. "Your magnet is not pretty, it is dirty."
+
+Ben felt sad. He wanted his magnet to be pretty too. He looked around and saw a cloth on the table. He had an idea. He took the cloth and rubbed his magnet with it. He tried to polish his magnet and make it shiny.
+
+"What are you doing?" Lila asked. She saw Ben rubbing his magnet with the cloth.
+
+"I am polishing my magnet. I want it to be shiny like yours." Ben said.
+
+Lila watched Ben polish his magnet. She saw that it became a little bit brighter. She felt sorry for Ben. She had another idea. She took her magnet and rubbed it on Ben's magnet. She tried to share some of her shine with him.
+
+"Here, I will help you. We can make your magnet shiny together." Lila said.
+
+Ben smiled. He felt happy. He thanked Lila for helping him. They polished their magnets until they both sparkled. They stuck them on the fridge and made a heart shape. They hugged each other and felt calm. They were good friends.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play and talk. One day, Lily has a new book. She shows it to Ben.
+
+"Look, Ben, I have a new book. It has many stories. Do you want to hear one?" Lily asks.
+
+"Yes, please. I like stories. What is the book about?" Ben says.
+
+"It is about animals. They do funny things. They also learn lessons. I will read you one story. You can guess what the lesson is." Lily says.
+
+She opens the book and reads a story. It is about a monkey who likes to tease other animals. He makes fun of their tails, their ears, their colors. He thinks he is the best. But one day, he meets a lion. The lion is not happy with the monkey. He roars and chases him. The monkey is scared. He runs and runs. He tries to hide behind a tree. But the lion finds him. He is about to catch him.
+
+"Please, please, don't eat me. I am sorry. I will not tease anyone again. I will be nice and kind. Please, let me go." The monkey begs.
+
+The lion stops. He looks at the monkey. He says, "I will not eat you. But you have to learn your lesson. Teasing is not funny. It is mean and hurtful. You should respect other animals. They are different, but they are also good. You should be friends with them, not enemies. Do you understand?"
+
+The monkey nods. He says, "Yes, I understand. Thank you for sparing me. I will change my ways. I will be a good monkey."
+
+The lion nods. He says, "Good. Now go and apologize to the animals you teased. And don't do it again."
+
+The monkey runs away. He is happy to be alive. He is also sorry for his actions. He goes to the animals he teased. He says sorry to them. He asks them to be his friends. They forgive him. They are happy to have a new friend.
+
+Lily closes the book. She says, "That was the story. Did you like it?"
+
+Ben says, "Yes, I liked it. It was funny and exciting. But it also had a lesson. I think I know what it is. Can I guess?"
+
+Lily says, "Sure, you can guess. What is the lesson?"
+
+Ben says, "The lesson is, don't tease others. Be nice and kind. Respect differences. Make friends, not enemies."
+
+Lily says, "That's right. You guessed it. That is a good lesson. We should follow it. We should be good friends to each other and to everyone."
+
+Ben says, "Yes, we should. Thank you for reading me the story. It was a good story. Can you read me another one?"
+
+Lily says, "Yes, I can. I have many stories. Let's read another one. Maybe you can guess the lesson again."
+
+They smile and hug. They are happy. They love stories. They love each other.
+Lily and Ben are playing with their toy trucks in the yard. They have a big pile of sand and some rocks. They want to load their trucks with sand and rocks and drive them around.
+
+"Look, I can load my truck with a lot of sand!" Lily says. She uses a shovel to fill her truck with sand. She is very proud of her truck.
+
+"Me too, me too!" Ben says. He tries to load his truck with rocks. But the rocks are too big and heavy for his truck. His truck tips over and the rocks fall out. He is very sad and angry.
+
+"That's not fair! Your truck is bigger and stronger than mine!" Ben shouts. He is very loud. He throws a rock at Lily's truck. The rock hits Lily's truck and makes a hole in it. Some sand spills out of the hole.
+
+"Hey, stop that! You broke my truck!" Lily cries. She is very loud too. She throws a handful of sand at Ben. The sand hits Ben's face and gets in his eyes and mouth. He spits out the sand and rubs his eyes.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow! That hurts!" Ben whines. He feels a sting on his lip. He touches his lip and sees blood. He has a cut on his lip from the sand. He starts to cry.
+
+Lily sees Ben crying and feels sorry for him. She knows she was wrong to throw sand at him. She runs to him and hugs him.
+
+"I'm sorry, Ben. I didn't mean to hurt you. Are you okay?" Lily asks.
+
+Ben hugs Lily back and sniffles.
+
+"I'm sorry too, Lily. I didn't mean to break your truck. Can we be friends again?" Ben asks.
+
+Lily nods and smiles.
+
+"Of course we can. We can share our trucks and play together. Come on, let's go get some water and a band-aid for your lip." Lily says.
+
+They hold hands and walk to the house. They are friends again.
+Sara liked to play with her doll. She gave her doll a name. The name was Lily. Sara and Lily did everything together. They ate, they slept, they read, they sang. Sara loved Lily very much.
+
+One day, Sara saw a new doll in the store. The doll had long hair, a pretty dress, and shiny shoes. Sara wanted the new doll. She asked her mom to buy it for her. Her mom said no. She said Sara already had a doll. She said Sara should be happy with what she had. Sara was not happy. She thought it was not fair.
+
+That night, Sara saw a star in the sky. She remembered what her grandma told her. She said if you see a star, you can make a wish. Sara made a wish. She wished she had the new doll. She wished Lily would go away. She repeated her wish three times. She hoped the star would hear her.
+
+The next morning, Sara woke up. She looked for Lily. She could not find her. She searched her room, her closet, her bed. She asked her mom, her dad, her brother. No one knew where Lily was. Sara felt sad. She missed Lily. She realized she made a bad wish. She wished she could take it back.
+
+She ran to the window. She looked for the star. But the star was gone. It was daytime. The sun was bright. Sara cried. She learned a lesson. She learned to be careful what you wish for. She learned to be grateful for what you have. She learned to love Lily. She hoped Lily would come back. She hoped the star would forgive her. She hoped it was not too late.
+Lily and Mia are sisters. They like to play with their mom's makeup. They find her makeup bag in the bathroom. They open it and see many colors.
+
+"Look, Mia, this is red. It is for lips," Lily says. She puts some on her mouth. "Do I look pretty?"
+
+"Yes, you do, Lily. And this is brown. It is for eyes," Mia says. She takes a pencil and draws on her eyelids. "Do I look pretty?"
+
+"Yes, you do, Mia. And this is pink. It is for cheeks," Lily says. She rubs some on her face. "Do we look pretty?"
+
+"Yes, we do, Lily. We look like mom," Mia says. They smile and hug.
+
+Then they hear a knock on the door. It is their mom. She is home from work.
+
+"Girls, are you in there?" she asks.
+
+Lily and Mia look at each other. They are scared. They do not answer.
+
+"Girls, open the door. I want to see you," mom says.
+
+Lily and Mia do not know what to do. They hide behind the shower curtain. They hope mom will not be mad.
+
+Mom opens the door. She sees the makeup bag on the sink. She sees the red, the brown, and the pink on the mirror. She sees the shower curtain move.
+
+She pulls it back. She sees Lily and Mia. They have makeup all over their faces. They look at mom with big eyes.
+
+Mom does not yell. She does not scold. She laughs.
+
+"Girls, what have you done?" she asks.
+
+Lily and Mia do not answer. They look down.
+
+Mom hugs them. She kisses them.
+
+"You are very silly, girls. But you are also very cute. And I love you very much," she says.
+
+Lily and Mia look up. They see mom smile. They smile too.
+
+"Can we play with your makeup again, mom?" they ask.
+
+Mom shakes her head. She says, "No, girls. Makeup is not for playing. It is for grown-ups. But you can play with something else. How about we play dress-up?"
+
+Lily and Mia nod. They say, "Yes, mom. We like dress-up."
+
+Mom takes them to their room. She helps them take off the makeup. She gives them some clothes and hats and shoes. They have fun. They forget about the makeup. They are happy.
+Tom and Mia were jolly rabbits who liked to hop in the meadow. They played with the flowers, the butterflies and the grass. They also liked to find spears that the farmer left behind. They used them to make tents, fences and games.
+
+One day, they found a big spear that was shiny and sharp. Tom wanted to take it, but Mia said no.
+
+"That spear is not for us," she said. "It is for the farmer. He uses it to hunt and hurt. We should leave it alone."
+
+But Tom did not listen. He said he wanted to have the spear and hop with it. He said it would make him strong and brave. He pulled the spear from the ground and ran away.
+
+Mia was scared. She followed Tom and tried to stop him. She saw him hop near the pond, where the ducks and the frogs lived. He waved the spear and shouted.
+
+"Look at me!" he said. "I have a spear! I can do anything!"
+
+The ducks and the frogs were not jolly. They were angry and afraid. They quacked and croaked and splashed water at Tom. They told him to go away and leave them alone.
+
+Tom was not happy. He felt bad and sorry. He dropped the spear and ran back to Mia. He hugged her and said he was sorry.
+
+"I was wrong," he said. "The spear is not for me. It is not fun. It is mean and dangerous. I don't want it anymore."
+
+Mia smiled and forgave him. She said they should go back to their meadow and play with their friends. They left the spear behind and hopped away. They were jolly rabbits again.
+Lily wanted to learn how to ride a bike. She had a bike with two big wheels and two small wheels. The small wheels helped her not to fall. Her dad said, "You are doing great, Lily. Soon you will ride with only two wheels."
+
+Lily was happy and tried to pedal faster. She liked the wind in her hair and the sun on her face. She saw a big hill and wanted to go down. She said, "Dad, look at me! I can go down the hill!"
+
+Her dad said, "Wait, Lily! That hill is too steep. You have to brake. Brake, Lily, brake!" But Lily did not know how to brake. She only knew how to pedal. She went down the hill very fast. She was scared and screamed.
+
+She saw a big truck coming from the other side. The truck was loud and smelly. The truck driver saw Lily and tried to stop. He honked his horn and shouted, "Get out of the way, kid!"
+
+But it was too late. Lily could not get out of the way. The truck hit her bike and threw her in the air. She landed on the ground with a thud. She did not move. She did not breathe. She was gone.
+
+Her dad ran to her and cried. He hugged her and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I'm so sorry." He wished he had taught her how to brake. He wished he had stopped her from going down the hill. He wished he had never given her the bike.
+
+He was hungry for his daughter. He was hungry for her smile, her laugh, her voice. He was hungry for her life. But he could not have it. He could only have his pain.
+Lily liked to design things. She had many crayons and papers and stickers. She liked to draw houses and cars and animals. She also liked to design her bed. She would put different blankets and pillows and toys on her bed. She would make it look like a castle or a forest or a spaceship.
+
+One night, Lily wanted to design a special bed. She wanted to make it look like a fairy garden. She found a green blanket and some pink and yellow flowers. She also got her fairy doll and her wand. She put the blanket on her bed and tucked the flowers under it. She put her fairy doll on the pillow and gave her the wand. She was very happy with her design.
+
+She went to show her mom. "Mom, look at my bed! I designed it like a fairy garden. Do you like it?" she asked.
+
+Mom smiled and hugged her. "I love it, Lily. It's very pretty and creative. You are a great designer," she said.
+
+"Thank you, Mom. Can I sleep in my fairy garden tonight?" Lily asked.
+
+"Of course, sweetie. But you have to be quiet, because it's bedtime. Fairies need their sleep too, you know," Mom said.
+
+"Okay, Mom. I will be quiet. Good night," Lily said.
+
+Mom kissed her and turned off the light. Lily snuggled in her bed with her fairy doll. She felt very cozy and happy. She closed her eyes and dreamed of flying with the fairies. She did not hear the thunder and the rain outside. She was too quiet and too busy designing her dreams.
+Anna and Ben like to create things with their toys. They have blocks, cars, dolls, and animals. They make houses, roads, schools, and farms. Sometimes they create stories and pretend to be different characters.
+
+One day, they decide to create a team of spies. They wear hats and glasses and talk in codes. They hide their toys in different places and try to find them. They also try to find hidden clues and secrets in their room and in the garden.
+
+They have a lot of fun as a team of spies. They find a hidden key under the rug, a hidden note in a book, and a hidden treasure in a flower pot. They also find some of their toys that they forgot about. They share their toys and their clues and make up more stories.
+
+But they also have to be careful. They don't want their mom or dad to find out what they are doing. They don't want them to see their hidden toys or their hidden clues. They don't want them to hear their codes or their stories. They want to keep their team of spies a secret.
+
+So they whisper and tiptoe and cover their tracks. They use signs and signals and passwords. They are very smart and very sneaky. They are the best team of spies ever.
+Ben and Mia are twins. They go to school for the first time. They wear uniforms. They have blue shirts and black pants. They are happy and excited.
+
+They see a big bus outside their house. The bus is yellow and loud. It has many windows and seats. The bus driver is fat. He has a red hat and a white beard. He smiles and waves at them.
+
+"Hello, Ben and Mia!" he says. "Are you ready for school?"
+
+"Yes, we are!" they say. They hold hands and climb on the bus. They find two seats near the front. They look out the window and see many things.
+
+They see cars and bikes and trees and houses. They see dogs and cats and birds and squirrels. They see other kids in uniforms. They see a big sign that says "School".
+
+They are not scared. They are curious and eager. They want to learn and play and make friends. They are happy and excited. They like school.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play together at the park. One day, they see a big sign that says "Bake Sale". They want to buy some yummy cookies and cakes.
+
+"Can we have some money, please?" they ask their moms.
+
+"Sorry, we don't have any money left," their moms say. "We spent it all on the bus and the snacks."
+
+Lily and Ben are sad. They really want some yummy treats.
+
+"Maybe we can make some money," Lily says. "We can teach other kids how to do something."
+
+"Like what?" Ben asks.
+
+"Like how to draw, or how to sing, or how to jump," Lily says. "We are good at those things."
+
+They find a place near the bake sale. They make a sign that says "We can teach you for one coin". They wait for other kids to come.
+
+Soon, a girl comes. She has a coin in her hand. She points at Lily's drawing.
+
+"I want to learn how to draw like that," she says.
+
+"Okay, I can teach you," Lily says. She takes the coin and gives the girl a paper and a crayon. She shows her how to draw a flower, a sun, and a bird.
+
+"Wow, you are a good teacher," the girl says. "Thank you. I like my drawing."
+
+She goes away happy.
+
+Then, a boy comes. He has a coin in his hand. He points at Ben's singing.
+
+"I want to learn how to sing like that," he says.
+
+"Okay, I can teach you," Ben says. He takes the coin and gives the boy a song. He sings it with him and helps him with the words and the tune.
+
+"Wow, you are a good teacher," the boy says. "Thank you. I like my song."
+
+He goes away happy.
+
+Lily and Ben are happy too. They have two coins now. They go to the bake sale and buy some yummy cookies and cakes. They share them with their moms.
+
+"Thank you for teaching us how to make money," their moms say. "You are very smart and kind."
+
+Lily and Ben smile. They learned that teaching is fun and rewarding. They also learned that sharing is caring. They enjoy their yummy treats.
+Tom likes to dress like a fisherman. He has a big hat, a long coat and big boots. He also has a rod and a net. He likes to pretend he is catching fish in the pond.
+
+One day, he goes to the pond with his mom. He sees a real fisherman there. The fisherman has a boat and a basket full of fish. Tom thinks he is very cool.
+
+"Hello, fisherman!" Tom says. "Can I see your fish?"
+
+The fisherman smiles and nods. He shows Tom his fish. They are shiny and colorful. Tom likes them a lot.
+
+"Wow, they are so pretty!" Tom says. "How do you catch them?"
+
+The fisherman tells Tom his secret. He says he uses worms and bread as bait. He says he has to be patient and quiet. He says he loves fishing because it is fun and relaxing.
+
+Tom listens and learns. He thinks fishing is cool too. He asks the fisherman if he can try.
+
+"Sure, why not?" the fisherman says. "Here, take my rod and net. I'll help you."
+
+Tom is very happy. He takes the rod and net and follows the fisherman to the boat. He hopes he can catch a fish too. He thanks the fisherman for being so nice. He thinks he has a new friend.
+Ben and Lily wanted to go to the lake with their dad. They liked to ride in the kayak and splash in the water. But dad said they had to print some pictures first. He had a big machine that could print pictures from his phone.
+
+"Can we help you print, dad?" Ben asked.
+
+"Sure, you can choose some pictures and press the button," dad said.
+
+Ben and Lily looked at the phone and saw many pictures. They saw pictures of their dog, their mom, their friends, and their toys. They also saw a picture of a spoiled cake. It was their birthday cake that their dog had eaten.
+
+"Look, dad, the spoiled cake!" Lily said and laughed.
+
+"That was not funny, Lily. That was a bad day," dad said.
+
+But Ben and Lily thought it was funny. They pressed the button and printed the picture of the spoiled cake. They printed many copies of it. They used all the paper in the machine.
+
+"Dad, look, we printed the spoiled cake!" Ben said and showed him the papers.
+
+"Oh no, you printed too many! We don't need so many pictures of the spoiled cake!" dad said.
+
+He was not happy. He wanted to print other pictures, but he had no more paper. He had to go to the store and buy more paper.
+
+"Sorry, dad, we didn't know," Ben and Lily said.
+
+"It's okay, but next time, please ask me before you print," dad said.
+
+He hugged them and said they could still go to the lake. They put the kayak on the car and drove to the lake. They had fun in the kayak and forgot about the spoiled cake.
+Sam and Mia were twins who liked to do different things. Sam liked to test new games and toys, and Mia liked to test new foods and drinks. They always had fun trying new things, but sometimes they disagreed.
+
+One day, their mom made dinner for them. She said, "Today we have something adventurous for you. It is called curry. It is spicy and yellow and has rice and chicken. Do you want to try it?"
+
+Sam looked at the curry and said, "No, thank you. It looks too hot and weird. I want pizza." He pushed his plate away.
+
+Mia looked at the curry and said, "Yes, please. It looks yummy and interesting. I want to test it." She took a big spoonful and put it in her mouth.
+
+Sam watched Mia and waited for her to make a face or spit it out. But Mia smiled and said, "Mmm, this is good. It is not too hot, it is just right. It has many flavors and makes me happy. You should try it, Sam."
+
+Sam shook his head and said, "No, thank you. I don't like adventurous food. I like pizza. Pizza is good and makes me happy. You can have my curry, Mia."
+
+Mia said, "OK, thank you. I like adventurous food. I like curry. Curry is good and makes me happy. You can have my pizza, Sam."
+
+Sam and Mia swapped their plates and ate their dinner. They were both happy and full. Their mom smiled and said, "I'm glad you both enjoyed your dinner. You are both adventurous in your own ways. Maybe next time you can try something new together."
+Tom and Lily were playing with their toy cars in the living room. They liked to make noises and pretend they were driving fast. Sometimes they crashed their cars and made a big wreck. They laughed and had fun.
+
+But then Tom saw Lily's new car. It was shiny and red and had a big spoiler. Tom wanted to play with it, but Lily said no. She said it was her car and she got it for her birthday. Tom got angry and tried to grab it from her. Lily held on tight and shouted for help.
+
+Mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw Tom and Lily fighting over the car. She saw Tom pinch Lily's arm and make her cry. She was not happy. She took the car away and gave it back to Lily. She told Tom to say sorry and go to his room. She said he was being mean and selfish.
+
+Tom felt bad. He knew he did something wrong. He did not like to hurt Lily or make Mom angry. He wished he had been nice and humble. He wished he had asked Lily to share or played with his own car. He said sorry to Lily and Mom and went to his room. He hoped they would forgive him and let him play again. He learned his lesson.
+Lily and Sam are at the fair with Mom and Dad. They see many things that make them happy. They see big wheels that go round and round. They see horses that go up and down. They see balloons that are red and blue and yellow.
+
+Lily and Sam want to try something new. They see a pole that is shiny and tall. It has a rope that hangs from the top. They see people who hold the rope and swing around the pole. They look like they are having fun.
+
+Lily and Sam ask Mom and Dad if they can try the pole. Mom and Dad say yes, but they have to be careful. They help Lily and Sam put on helmets and belts. They tell them to hold the rope tight and listen to the man who runs the pole.
+
+Lily and Sam hold the rope and wait for the man to say go. They feel excited and scared. The man says go and pushes a button. The pole starts to spin and Lily and Sam swing around the pole. They feel the wind in their hair and the sun on their face. They laugh and scream and smile.
+
+Lily and Sam like the pole. They think it is the best thing at the fair. They thank Mom and Dad and the man who runs the pole. They want to go again, but Mom and Dad say it is time to go home. They say they can come back another day. Lily and Sam are happy. They had a good day at the fair.
+Lily and Ben love to bake with Mom. They help her put flour, eggs, sugar and butter in a big bowl. They mix and mix with a spoon. Then they make balls of dough and put them on a tray. Mom puts the tray in the oven and says, "Wait for the beep!"
+
+Lily and Ben play with their toys while they wait. They hear the beep and run to the kitchen. Mom takes out the tray and says, "Careful, they are hot!" She puts the cookies on a rack to cool. They smell so good. Lily and Ben can't wait to eat them.
+
+Mom says, "Let's go for a walk while the cookies cool. We can take some to Grandma. She lives on the other side of the park." Lily and Ben put on their coats and shoes. They each take a bag with some cookies. They follow Mom out the door and down the path.
+
+They see many things on the path. They see birds, flowers, dogs and people. They say hello to everyone they meet. They cross the bridge over the stream. They see ducks and fish. They throw some bread for them. They reach the park and see the swings, the slide and the sandbox. They want to play, but Mom says, "Maybe later. Grandma is waiting for us."
+
+They walk through the park and see Grandma's house. They knock on the door and Grandma opens it. She smiles and hugs them. She says, "What a nice surprise! Come in, come in!" She takes them to the living room and says, "Do you have something for me?" Lily and Ben give her the bags with the cookies. Grandma says, "Oh, how sweet of you! Did you bake these with Mom?" Lily and Ben nod and say, "Yes, we did!" Grandma says, "They look so tasty. Let's have some with milk." She takes them to the kitchen and pours them some milk. She gives them each a cookie and takes one for herself. They bite into the cookies and say, "Mmm, yummy!" Grandma says, "You are very good bakers. These are the best cookies ever. Thank you, Lily and Ben. I love you very much." Lily and Ben say, "We love you too, Grandma. And we love to bake with Mom." They hug Grandma and smile. They are very happy.
+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big window in a house. The window has many colors and shapes. It looks like a rainbow.
+
+"Wow, look at that window!" Lily says. "It is so pretty. I want to see it closer."
+
+"Me too," Tom says. "But how can we get there? The house is far away and the gate is locked."
+
+Lily thinks for a moment. She sees a big tree next to the house. The tree has many branches and leaves. She has an idea.
+
+"Maybe we can climb the tree and reach the window," she says. "It looks fun and easy."
+
+Tom is not sure. He is afraid of heights. He does not like to climb. He thinks the tree is too high and the window is too far.
+
+"I don't know, Lily," he says. "It looks scary and hard. What if we fall or get hurt? What if someone sees us and gets angry?"
+
+Lily smiles. She is brave and curious. She likes to try new things. She trusts herself and her friend.
+
+"Don't worry, Tom," she says. "We can do it. We are lucky and smart. We just have to be careful and quiet. Come on, it will be fun. I will help you."
+
+Tom trusts Lily. He is her friend. He wants to see the window too. He nods and follows her.
+
+They hold hands and walk to the tree. They look around and see no one. They start to climb the tree. They use the branches and the leaves as steps and grips. They go higher and higher. They are almost at the window.
+
+They see the window up close. It is more beautiful than they thought. It has many colors and shapes. It looks like a rainbow. They smile and laugh. They are happy and proud. They are lucky and brave. They are friends.
+Ben is a big boy. He can use the toilet by himself. He likes to flush the toilet and watch the water go down. He thinks the toilet is powerful.
+
+One day, Ben is playing with his cars in his room. He hears his mom call him. "Ben, it's time to get ready for bed!" she says. Ben does not want to stop playing. He says, "No, mom, I want to play more!"
+
+Mom comes to his room. She says, "Ben, you have to listen to me. You need to brush your teeth, put on your pajamas, and use the toilet before bed. It's good for you."
+
+Ben pouts. He says, "But mom, I don't need to use the toilet. I used it before."
+
+Mom says, "Are you sure? Sometimes you have to use the toilet again. You don't want to wet the bed, do you?"
+
+Ben shakes his head. He says, "No, mom, I don't. But I really don't need to use the toilet."
+
+Mom says, "OK, Ben, I trust you. But if you feel like you need to use the toilet, you have to go right away. Don't wait until it's too late."
+
+Ben nods. He says, "OK, mom, I will. Can I play for five more minutes?"
+
+Mom says, "OK, Ben, you can play for five more minutes. But then you have to get ready for bed, OK?"
+
+Ben says, "OK, mom, thank you. You are the best mom ever."
+
+Mom smiles. She says, "You are the best Ben ever. I love you."
+
+She kisses him and leaves his room. Ben plays with his cars for five more minutes. He is having fun. He does not feel like he needs to use the toilet. He forgets what mom said.
+
+Suddenly, he feels a pressure in his tummy. He needs to use the toilet. He jumps up and runs to the bathroom. He hopes he can make it in time. He does not want to wet his pants.
+
+He reaches the toilet. He pulls down his pants. He sits on the toilet. He feels a relief. He did it. He is proud of himself. He flushes the toilet and watches the water go down. He thinks the toilet is powerful. He thinks he is powerful too. He smiles. He washes his hands. He goes back to his room. He brushes his teeth. He puts on his pajamas. He gets into his bed. He is ready for sleep. He is happy. He is a big boy.
+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play outside. But today, the sky is dark and the rain is coming. They hear a loud boom. It is thunder.
+
+"Let's go inside!" Mia says. "The rain is wet and cold."
+
+"Wait!" Tom says. "Look! There is a cat in the tree. It is orange and small. It is scared of the rain and the thunder. We have to save it!"
+
+Tom and Mia run to the tree. They see the cat. It is high up and meows. Tom and Mia try to reach it, but they are too short.
+
+"Help! Help!" they shout. "There is a cat in the tree. It needs to be saved!"
+
+A man hears them. He is big and strong. He has a ladder. He comes to the tree. He puts the ladder on the tree. He climbs up. He takes the cat. He gives it to Tom and Mia.
+
+"Thank you!" they say. "You saved the cat!"
+
+The cat is happy. It purrs and licks their faces. Tom and Mia hug the cat. They go inside with the man. They are safe and warm. They watch the rain from the window. They are glad they saved the cat.
+Ben and Mia were playing with their toys in the living room. They liked to make noises and pretend they were cars, planes, and animals. Suddenly, they heard a loud boom outside. It was thunder!
+
+"Mommy, what is that?" Mia asked, running to her mother who was in the kitchen.
+
+"That is thunder, Mia. It means there is a storm coming. Don't be scared, it is just noise," Mommy said, hugging Mia.
+
+"Can we still play?" Ben asked, holding his toy truck.
+
+"Of course you can, Ben. But you have to stay inside, okay? The rain and the wind are not good for your toys," Mommy said, smiling.
+
+"Okay, Mommy. We will stay inside and play," Ben said, nodding.
+
+Ben and Mia went back to the living room. They decided to make a fort with pillows and blankets. They put their toys inside the fort and pretended they were safe from the storm. They had fun making stories and jokes. They did not mind the thunder anymore.
+
+They managed to have a good time even when it was stormy outside. They were glad they had each other and their toys. They were also glad they had Mommy, who loved them and took care of them. They felt cozy and happy in their fort. They hoped the storm would go away soon, but they were not afraid. They knew they were safe.
+Tom and Lily were playing with their board. It had many colors and shapes. They liked to make pictures with the board. Tom made a sun and Lily made a flower.
+
+"Look, my sun is bright and happy!" Tom said.
+
+"Look, my flower is pretty and sweet!" Lily said.
+
+They smiled and showed each other their pictures.
+
+But then, a big cloud came and covered the sun. The sky became dark and cold. Tom and Lily felt scared. Their board became pale and dull.
+
+"Where did the sun go?" Tom asked.
+
+"I don't know. I don't like the cloud. It is mean and ugly." Lily said.
+
+They hugged each other and shivered.
+
+But then, they heard a loud noise. It was thunder. They saw a flash of light. It was lightning. They screamed and dropped their board. They ran to their mom.
+
+"Mom, mom, help us!" Tom and Lily cried.
+
+Mom hugged them and took them inside. She gave them cookies and milk. She told them not to be afraid. She said the cloud would go away soon. She said the sun would come back and make everything bright and happy again.
+
+Tom and Lily felt better. They thanked their mom and ate their cookies and milk. They looked out the window and saw a rainbow. It had many colors and shapes. They liked the rainbow. It was like their board.
+
+"Look, the rainbow is pretty and sweet!" Lily said.
+
+"Look, the sun is bright and happy!" Tom said.
+
+They smiled and showed each other the rainbow.
+Sam and Mia wanted to fly a kite in the park. They had a big kite with a long tail and many colors. They ran with the kite and let go of the string. The kite went up in the sky and danced with the wind.
+
+"Look, our kite is so high and pretty!" Mia said.
+
+"Yes, it is! Let's make it go higher!" Sam said. He pulled the string tight and the kite stretched more.
+
+But then, a big bird saw the kite and thought it was a toy. The bird flew towards the kite and tried to catch it with its beak.
+
+"Hey, that's our kite! Go away, bird!" Sam shouted.
+
+The bird did not listen. It bit the kite and tore a hole in it. The kite lost its balance and fell down.
+
+"Oh no, our kite is broken!" Mia cried.
+
+Sam and Mia ran to get their kite. They were sad and angry. The bird flew away with a piece of the kite in its mouth.
+
+"Bad bird! You ruined our kite!" Sam said.
+
+Mia hugged the kite and tried to fix it. She found some tape and patched the hole.
+
+"Maybe we can still fly it. It's still our kite and we love it," Mia said.
+
+Sam smiled and nodded. He took the string and held it tight. He and Mia ran again and let go of the string. The kite went up in the sky again, but not as high as before. It still danced with the wind, but with a limp tail.
+
+"It's okay, our kite is still beautiful," Mia said.
+
+"Yes, it is. And we are still happy," Sam said.
+
+They watched their kite and laughed. They did not care about the bird anymore. They had each other and their kite.
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play in the kitchen. One day, they find a big bottle of milk in the fridge. They want to drink some.
+
+"Let's pour some milk in the cups," Lily says.
+
+"OK," Ben says. They take two cups and pour some milk. The milk is white and smooth. It looks yummy.
+
+They sip the milk. But it tastes bad. Very bad. They spit it out.
+
+"Yuck!" Lily says. "This milk is not good. It is sour and icky."
+
+"Maybe it is old," Ben says. "Maybe it is rot."
+
+They look at the bottle. It has a date on it. The date is from last month.
+
+"Oops," Lily says. "We should not drink this milk. It is too old. It is rot."
+
+They throw away the milk and the cups. They rinse their mouths with water. They look for something else to drink.
+
+"Let's have some juice," Ben says.
+
+"Good idea," Lily says. They find some juice in the fridge. The juice is red and sweet. It tastes good.
+
+They drink the juice and smile. They are happy. They learned a new word today. Rot. Rot means old and bad. They do not like rot. They like fresh and good.
+Lily and Tom were playing with blocks. They liked to make towers and houses and bridges. They had many blocks of different shapes and colors.
+
+Lily found a block that had a zigzag on it. She thought it was very pretty. She wanted to put it on top of her tower. But the block was too big. It did not fit. She tried to push it and turn it, but it did not work.
+
+"Tom, can you help me?" she asked. "I want to put this block on my tower, but it does not fit."
+
+Tom looked at the block and the tower. He saw that the block was too big and the tower was too small. He had an idea.
+
+"Maybe we can make the tower bigger," he said. "We can use more blocks and make it wider and taller. Then the zigzag block will fit."
+
+Lily liked Tom's idea. She smiled and nodded. They worked together to make the tower bigger. They used more blocks and made it wider and taller. They left a space for the zigzag block.
+
+They lifted the zigzag block and placed it on the space. It fit! It looked very nice on the tower. Lily and Tom were happy. They clapped and cheered.
+
+But then, something bad happened. The tower was too big and too heavy. It wobbled and fell down. The blocks crashed and scattered. The zigzag block broke in half.
+
+Lily and Tom were upset. They liked the tower and the zigzag block. They worked hard to make them. They felt sad and angry.
+
+They looked at each other and started to cry. They hugged and said sorry. They decided to try again. They picked up the blocks and looked for another zigzag block. They hoped to make a better tower.
+Mia and Ben like to play with their toy cars. They make them zoom on the floor and pretend they are racing. Mia has a red car and Ben has a blue car. They take turns to say "Ready, set, go!" and then push their cars as fast as they can.
+
+One day, they find a big cardboard box in the garage. They think it will be fun to make a tunnel for their cars. They cut a hole on each end of the box and put it on the floor. They decide to have a race through the tunnel. Mia says "Ready, set, go!" and they both push their cars into the box.
+
+But something terrible happens. Ben's car gets stuck in the middle of the tunnel. It is too big for the hole. Ben tries to reach for his car, but he can't. He crawls into the box to get it. Mia waits for him to come out, but he doesn't. She hears him say "Help, help, I'm stuck!"
+
+Mia gets worried. She runs to the other end of the box to help Ben. But she is too fast. She stumbles on the edge of the hole and falls into the box. She lands on top of Ben and his car. They both say "Ouch!"
+
+They are both stuck in the box. They can't get out. They start to cry. They wish they had not played with the box. They wish they had listened to their mom, who told them to be careful and not make a mess.
+
+Then they hear their mom's voice. She says "What's going on here? Why are you crying?" She sees the box and the cars. She lifts the box and sees Mia and Ben. They are dirty and sad. She says "Oh, you poor things. Come here, let me hug you."
+
+She helps them out of the box and hugs them. She says "It's okay, don't cry. It was an accident. You were just having fun. But next time, be more careful and don't play with things that are not toys. Okay?"
+
+Mia and Ben nod. They say "Okay, mom. We're sorry. We love you." They hug their mom and their cars. They are happy again. They decide to play with something else. They leave the box in the garage. They don't want to zoom through it anymore.
+Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big basket with many toys inside. They ran to the basket and started to take out the toys. They did not see the sign that said "Please do not touch. These toys belong to the children's hospital."
+
+A lady came and saw them. She was angry and said, "What are you doing? These toys are not for you. They are for the sick children who cannot play outside. How would you feel if someone took your toys?"
+
+Anna and Ben felt bad. They did not know they were doing something wrong. They said, "We are sorry, lady. We did not see the sign. We just wanted to play with the toys. We will put them back in the basket."
+
+The lady said, "Thank you for being honest and sorry. But you should always ask before you touch something that is not yours. The sick children need these toys more than you. They are very distant from their home and their friends. They feel lonely and sad. These toys make them happy and forget their pain."
+
+Anna and Ben understood. They felt sorry for the sick children. They said, "We are sorry, lady. We will not touch the toys again. We hope the sick children get better soon. Can we do something to help them?"
+
+The lady smiled and said, "You are very kind and sweet. You can help them by making some cards or drawings for them. They would love to see your art and your words. You can put them in the basket with the toys. They will make them feel closer to you and to the park."
+
+Anna and Ben liked the idea. They went home and made some cards and drawings for the sick children. They used bright colors and wrote nice messages. They put them in the basket with the toys. They felt happy and proud. They learned to respect other people's things and to share their joy.
+Lily was a little girl who liked to play dress-up. She had a big box of clothes and hats and scarves and jewels. One day, she found a white veil in the box. It was long and soft and shiny. She put it on her head and pretended to be a bride.
+
+She went to the living room, where her brother Tom was watching TV. She said, "Look at me, Tom! I'm a bride! Do you like my veil?"
+
+Tom did not look at her. He was busy watching his show. He said, "Go away, Lily. You're annoying me. I don't care about your veil."
+
+Lily felt sad. She wanted Tom to play with her and tell her she was pretty. She said, "Please, Tom, play with me. We can pretend to get married. You can be the groom and I can be the bride."
+
+Tom got angry. He did not like to play dress-up. He liked to watch TV and play with his cars and trucks. He said, "No, Lily, I don't want to play with you. You're silly and boring. And your veil is stupid. It's not even real. It's just a piece of cloth."
+
+He grabbed the veil from Lily's head and threw it on the floor. He stepped on it and tore it with his shoes. He said, "There, now your veil is ruined. How do you like that?"
+
+Lily was shocked. She blinked her eyes and saw her veil in pieces. She felt a big pain in her heart. She loved her veil. It was her favorite thing in the box. She started to cry. She said, "Tom, you're mean! You're a bad brother! You broke my veil! I hate you!"
+
+She ran to her room and slammed the door. She hugged her teddy bear and sobbed. She felt very nervous. She wondered if Tom would ever say sorry to her. She wondered if he would ever play with her again. She wondered if he would ever love her again. She felt very lonely and sad. She wished she had a different brother. She wished she had a different veil. She wished she had a different life.
+Anna likes to play with her toys. She has a doll, a bear, a ball and a telephone. The telephone is not real, but it makes sounds when she presses the buttons. She likes to pretend she is talking to her friends.
+
+One day, Anna is playing with her telephone in the living room. She hears her mom call her name from the kitchen. She wants to see what her mom is doing, but she does not want to leave her telephone. She thinks of an idea. She puts the telephone in her pocket and runs to the kitchen.
+
+In the kitchen, her mom is making a cake. She asks Anna if she wants to help. Anna says yes. She likes to help her mom. She puts on an apron and washes her hands. Her mom gives her a bowl and a spoon. She tells her to stir the batter.
+
+Anna stirs the batter with the spoon. She is careful not to spill. She feels the telephone in her pocket. She hopes it does not get wet. She wants to keep it dry. She stirs faster and faster. She is having fun.
+
+Suddenly, the telephone makes a loud sound. It says "Hello, hello, can you hear me?" Anna is surprised. She stops stirring. She takes the telephone out of her pocket. She looks at it. She sees a picture of her grandma on the screen. Her grandma is smiling and waving.
+
+Anna smiles and waves back. She says "Hi, grandma, I am making a cake with mom." Her mom looks at her and laughs. She says "How did you manage to call your grandma with your toy telephone?" Anna does not know. She thinks it is a magic telephone. She is happy to talk to her grandma. She tells her about her toys, her cake and her day. She says "I love you, grandma." Her grandma says "I love you too, Anna." They both say goodbye.
+
+Anna puts the telephone back in her pocket. She finishes stirring the batter with her mom. They pour it into a pan and put it in the oven. They wait for the cake to bake. Anna thinks about her grandma and her telephone. She wonders what other sounds it can make. She decides to play with it later. She is glad she has a magic telephone.
+Lily and Tom were best friends. They liked to play in the park every day. One day, they saw a big hole in the ground. It looked like a tunnel.
+
+"Let's go inside and see what's there," Tom said.
+
+"No, it's too dark and scary," Lily said. "We might get lost or hurt."
+
+"Come on, don't be afraid," Tom said. "It will be a fun journey. Maybe we'll find treasure or animals."
+
+Tom took Lily's hand and pulled her into the hole. They walked for a long time. The tunnel was deep and cold. They could not see anything.
+
+"Tom, I don't like this," Lily said. "I want to go back."
+
+"Me too," Tom said. "But I don't know which way is back. We're stuck."
+
+They started to cry. They wished they had listened to Lily and stayed in the park.
+
+Suddenly, they heard a voice.
+
+"Hello, who's there?" the voice said.
+
+They looked up and saw a flashlight. It was Lily's dad. He had heard them scream and followed them into the tunnel.
+
+"Dad, you came!" Lily said.
+
+"Of course I came," her dad said. "I was worried about you. Come on, let's get out of here."
+
+He hugged them and led them back to the park. They were happy and relieved.
+
+They learned a lesson that day. They never went into the hole again. They played in the park and had fun. They were still best friends.
+Ben and Lily are twins. They sleep in the same room. One night, Ben wakes up and hears a noise. He is scared. He sees a big shadow on the wall. He thinks it is a monster.
+
+He shakes Lily and says, "Lily, Lily, wake up! There is a monster in our room!"
+
+Lily opens her eyes and looks at the wall. She says, "That is not a monster, Ben. That is our coat. See? It has buttons and a hood. It is just the light from the window that makes it look scary."
+
+Ben feels silly. He says, "Oh, you are right, Lily. It is just our coat. I was dreaming. Sorry for waking you up."
+
+Lily says, "It is okay, Ben. I love you. Do you want to cuddle?"
+
+Ben says, "Yes, please. I love you too."
+
+They hug and go back to sleep.
+
+The next morning, they wake up and smell something bad. They say, "Ew, what is that?"
+
+They get out of bed and search for the source of the smell. They find a pile of dirty socks under their bed. They say, "Yuck, that is disgusting! Who left these here?"
+
+They look at each other and say, "Oops, we did. We forgot to put them in the laundry basket."
+
+They laugh and say, "We are silly. Let's clean up our room and make it smell nice."
+
+They pick up the socks and put them in the basket. They open the window and let the fresh air in. They say, "There, much better. Now we are ready for a new day."
+One day, a boy named Ben went to the zoo with his mom and dad. He liked to see all the animals, but his favorite was the alligator. He ran to the fence and looked at the big green alligator in the water.
+
+"Wow, look at his teeth!" Ben said. "He has so many teeth!"
+
+"Yes, he does," his mom said. "But he is not hungry right now. He is just enjoying the sun."
+
+Ben wanted to see the alligator open his mouth. He thought it would be cool to see all his teeth. He waited and waited, but the alligator did not open his mouth.
+
+"Please, open your mouth, Mr. Alligator!" Ben said. "I want to see your teeth!"
+
+The alligator heard Ben and looked at him. He saw that Ben was not afraid of him. He liked that. He decided to show Ben his teeth. He opened his mouth wide and let out a loud roar.
+
+"Wow, thank you, Mr. Alligator!" Ben said. "You have the best teeth ever!"
+
+The alligator smiled and closed his mouth. He was happy that Ben enjoyed his teeth. He waved his tail and went back to the water.
+
+Ben clapped his hands and laughed. He gave his mom and dad a hug and said, "That was the best day ever! I love the alligator!"
+Anna was very happy. Today was her birthday. She wanted a big cake and a big package. She asked her mom and dad for a big package. They smiled and said, "Maybe."
+
+Anna waited and waited. She played with her toys and her dog. She sang and danced. She looked at the clock. It was almost time for the cake and the package.
+
+She heard a knock on the door. She ran to open it. She saw her grandma and grandpa. They had a big package. Anna was very happy. She hugged them and said, "Thank you!"
+
+She took the package to the living room. She wanted to open it. But it was difficult. The package was very big and heavy. She tried to rip the paper. She tried to cut the tape. She tried to shake the box. But nothing worked.
+
+She asked her mom and dad for help. They smiled and said, "Wait a minute." They brought the cake and the candles. They sang "Happy Birthday" to Anna. They told her to make a wish and blow the candles.
+
+Anna wished for the package to open. She blew the candles. She heard a noise. She looked at the package. It was moving. It was making sounds. It was a puppy!
+
+Anna was very happy. She opened the package. She hugged the puppy. She said, "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" She gave her mom and dad a big hug. She gave her grandma and grandpa a big hug. She gave her dog a big hug. She had the best birthday ever.
+Ben and Lily liked to play with their blocks. They made towers and bridges and castles. Sometimes they knocked them down and started again. They had fun with their blocks.
+
+One day, they saw a new book on the shelf. It had a picture of a giant on the cover. The giant was very big and had a long beard and a big club. Ben and Lily wanted to read the book. They asked their mom to read it to them.
+
+Mom said, "This is a book for older kids. It has hard words that you don't know yet. But you can improve your reading if you practice every day. Do you want to try?"
+
+Ben and Lily nodded. They were patient and eager to learn. Mom opened the book and pointed to the words. She read the first sentence slowly and clearly. "Once upon a time, there was a giant who lived in a cave."
+
+Ben and Lily repeated the words after her. They sounded out the letters and tried to remember them. They asked mom what the words meant. Mom explained and showed them the pictures. They learned new words like cave, forest, and village.
+
+They read a few more sentences with mom's help. They liked the story of the giant and his adventures. They wanted to read more, but mom said it was time for lunch. She praised them for their effort and said they could read more later.
+
+Ben and Lily put the book back on the shelf. They were proud of themselves. They had improved their reading a little bit. They looked forward to reading more about the giant. They hugged mom and went to the kitchen. They still liked to play with their blocks, but they also liked to read books.

+
+One day, his toy lion gets a rip in its leg. Tommy is sad. He does not want his toy to be hurt. He shows his mom the rip. His mom says, "Don't worry, Tommy. We can take your toy to the veterinarian. She can fix it for you."
+
+The veterinarian is a nice lady who helps animals. She has a big room with many tools and toys. She smiles at Tommy and his toy lion. She says, "Hello, Tommy. What is your toy's name?" Tommy says, "His name is Leo. He is my best friend. He can roar very loud." The veterinarian says, "That's a great name. Can I hear him roar?" Tommy makes Leo roar. The veterinarian says, "Wow, he is very brave. But he has a rip in his leg. That must hurt. Can I help him?"
+
+The veterinarian takes Leo to a table. She gets a needle and some thread. She says, "I'm going to sew the rip. It will not hurt Leo. It will make him feel better. You can watch me if you want." Tommy nods. He watches the veterinarian sew the rip. He holds Leo's paw. He says, "It's okay, Leo. You are very strong. The veterinarian is very sweet. She will make you all better."
+
+The veterinarian finishes sewing the rip. She cuts the thread. She says, "There you go, Leo. You are good as new. You have a very nice scar. It shows how brave you are." She gives Leo a hug. She gives Tommy a sticker. She says, "You are a very good friend to Leo. You take good care of him. You can play with him again. But be gentle with his leg. It needs some time to heal." Tommy says, "Thank you, veterinarian. You are very kind. You helped Leo a lot. I will be gentle with his leg. I will play with him every day. He is my best friend." He gives the veterinarian a hug. He takes Leo and his sticker. He says, "Bye, veterinarian. Come on, Leo. Let's go home and roar." He roars and runs and jumps with his toy. He is happy.
+Lily was walking in the park with her mom. She liked to look at the flowers and the birds. She saw a big tree with a hole in it. She wanted to see what was inside.
+
+"Mom, can I go to the tree?" she asked.
+
+"Okay, but be careful," her mom said.
+
+Lily ran to the tree and peeked inside the hole. She saw something shiny and long. It was a snake. But it was not a normal snake. It was pink.
+
+"Hello, snake," Lily said. "You are very pretty. What is your name?"
+
+The snake hissed and stuck out its tongue. It did not like Lily. It wanted to be alone.
+
+"Go away, girl," the snake said. "This is my home. You are not welcome here."
+
+Lily was scared and sad. She liked the snake and wanted to be its friend. She did not understand why it was so mean.
+
+"Please, snake, don't be angry," Lily said. "I just want to talk to you. You are so different from the other snakes. Why are you pink?"
+
+The snake was surprised. It had never met anyone who asked about its color. It felt a little curious.
+
+"I am pink because I ate a lot of strawberries," the snake said. "They are my favorite food. Do you like strawberries?"
+
+Lily nodded. She loved strawberries. They were sweet and juicy.
+
+"I like strawberries too," Lily said. "Maybe we can share some. Do you want to be my friend?"
+
+The snake thought for a moment. It had never had a friend before. It felt a little lonely.
+
+"Okay, girl, I will be your friend," the snake said. "But you have to promise not to tell anyone about me. I don't want to be bothered by other people."
+
+Lily smiled. She was happy to have a new friend. She promised to keep the snake a secret.
+
+"Thank you, snake," Lily said. "You are very nice. What is your name?"
+
+The snake smiled too. It was happy to have a new friend. It told Lily its name.
+
+"My name is Rosie," the snake said. "What is your name?"
+
+"My name is Lily," Lily said. "We have flower names. That is funny."
+
+They laughed and talked for a while. They found out they had many things in common. They both liked the sun, the grass, and the stars. They both did not like the rain, the cold, and the noise.
+
+Lily and Rosie became good friends. They met every day at the tree and shared strawberries. They had fun and learned from each other. They were happy.
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to go to the mall with their mom. They saw many things in the mall that they wanted, like toys, candy, and clothes. But their mom said they had to save their money and not buy everything they saw.
+
+One day, Tom and Lily saw an elderly lady with a big purse. She was sitting on a bench and looking at her phone. Tom had an idea. He whispered to Lily, "Let's steal her purse. She won't notice. We can get a lot of money and buy whatever we want."
+
+Lily was scared, but she followed Tom. They walked slowly behind the lady and reached for her purse. But before they could grab it, the lady turned around and saw them. She shouted, "Hey, what are you doing? Stop trying to steal my purse!"
+
+Tom and Lily were caught. They felt ashamed and afraid. Their mom heard the lady's shout and ran to them. She was very angry and disappointed. She apologized to the lady and took Tom and Lily away. She said, "You two have been very naughty. Stealing is wrong. You should never take something that is not yours. You have hurt the lady and yourself. You have to say sorry to her and to me. And you have to give back the money you saved for your birthday. You have to learn your lesson."
+
+Tom and Lily realized their mistake. They felt sorry for the lady and for their mom. They said sorry to them and gave back their money. They promised to never steal again. They learned that stealing is bad and that they should be honest and kind.
+Lily was a shy girl who liked to play with her toys. She had a big tank that she got for her birthday. It was green and had wheels and a gun. She liked to make it go vroom and boom in her room.
+
+One day, she heard a knock on the door. It was her friend Ben, who lived next door. He wanted to play with her. Lily was happy, but also nervous. She did not like to share her toys. She opened the door and said hello.
+
+"Hi, Lily. Can I come in?" Ben asked.
+
+"Sure, Ben. Come in," Lily said.
+
+Ben saw the tank on the floor. He liked it a lot. He wanted to play with it. He walked towards it and said, "Wow, what a cool tank. Can I try it?"
+
+Lily felt a pang in her chest. She did not want to give him the tank. She liked it too much. She said, "No, Ben. It's mine. You can play with something else."
+
+Ben felt sad and hurt. He did not understand why Lily was so mean. He said, "But, Lily, it's just a toy. We can share it. It's more fun to play together."
+
+Lily shook her head. She said, "No, Ben. Go away. Leave me alone."
+
+Ben felt angry and frustrated. He did not like to be told what to do. He said, "Fine, Lily. If you don't want to be my friend, I don't want to be yours. I'll show you."
+
+He reached for the tank and grabbed it. He pulled it away from Lily. Lily screamed and tried to get it back. They both tugged and pulled on the tank. They did not see the vase on the table behind them. The vase was big and blue and had flowers in it. It was a gift from Lily's grandma. Lily loved it very much.
+
+As they fought over the tank, they bumped into the table. The vase wobbled and tipped over. It fell to the floor and broke into pieces. The water and the flowers spilled everywhere. Lily and Ben stopped and looked at the mess. They both felt scared and sorry. They knew they had done something bad.
+
+They heard footsteps on the stairs. It was Lily's mom. She had heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw the broken vase and the wet floor and the tank and the kids. She was not happy. She said, "Lily, Ben, what have you done? How could you be so careless and selfish? You have to clean this up and apologize to each other. And you have to say sorry to grandma too. She gave you that vase and you broke it. That was very naughty of you."
+
+Lily and Ben felt ashamed and guilty. They said, "We're sorry, mom. We're sorry, grandma. We're sorry, Lily. We're sorry, Ben."
+
+They hugged each other and said, "We're friends, right?"
+
+They nodded and smiled. They learned their lesson. They decided to share the tank and play nicely. They cleaned up the mess and said sorry to grandma. Grandma was not mad. She was glad they were friends. She gave them a hug and a kiss and a cookie. They said, "Thank you, grandma. We love you."
+
+They played with the tank and had fun. They were happy. They were friends. The end.

+Lily loved cars. She liked to watch them zoom by on the road. She liked to play with her toy cars at home. She liked to pretend she was a mechanic and fix them with her tools.
+
+One day, her dad said, "Lily, I have a surprise for you. We are going to visit a real mechanic and see how he works on cars. Do you want to come?"
+
+Lily was very excited. She nodded and clapped her hands. She put on her hat and coat and followed her dad to the car. She wondered what the mechanic would look like and what kind of cars he would have.
+
+They drove for a while and then stopped at a big garage. Lily saw a sign that said, "Bob's Auto Repair". She also saw many cars parked outside, some shiny and some old and rusty.
+
+They got out of the car and walked inside. They saw a man in a blue jumpsuit and a cap. He had a big smile and a beard. He was holding a wrench and a rag. He was the mechanic.
+
+"Hello, there," he said. "You must be Lily. I'm Bob, the mechanic. Your dad told me you like cars. Is that right?"
+
+Lily nodded shyly. She was a bit nervous. She had never met a mechanic before.
+
+Bob was very jolly. He said, "Don't be afraid, Lily. I'm here to show you around and teach you some things about cars. Do you want to see my workshop?"
+
+Lily nodded again. She was curious. She wanted to see what the mechanic did with the cars.
+
+Bob took Lily and her dad to his workshop. He showed them different parts of the cars, like the wheels, the engine, the lights, and the horn. He explained what they did and how they worked. He let Lily touch some of them and ask questions. He also showed her some of his tools, like the hammer, the screwdriver, the pliers, and the drill. He told her what they were for and how to use them safely.
+
+Lily was amazed. She learned a lot from the mechanic. She felt like she was a mechanic too. She had fun with Bob and his cars.
+
+At the end of the visit, Bob gave Lily a sticker that said, "I love cars". He said, "Lily, you are a very smart and brave girl. You have a great interest in cars. Maybe one day, you can be a mechanic like me. Would you like that?"

+Lily and Ben are best friends. They like to play games together. One day, they play a game called "Guess the Body Part". Lily covers her eyes with her hands and Ben touches a part of his body. Then he asks Lily to guess what it is.
+
+"Is it your nose?" Lily asks.
+
+"No, it is not my nose. Try again," Ben says.
+
+"Is it your ear?" Lily asks.
+
+"Yes, it is my ear! You are good at this game," Ben says.
+
+They take turns to touch and guess different body parts. They have fun and learn new words. They touch their hair, their chin, their elbow, their knee, and their foot.
+
+But then Ben has an idea. He wants to trick Lily. He touches something that is not a part of his body. He touches his toy car.
+
+"Guess what this is," he says.
+
+Lily feels something hard and smooth. She is confused.
+
+"Is it your tooth?" she asks.
+
+"No, it is not my tooth. It is not a part of my body at all," Ben says.
+
+He laughs and shows her his toy car.
+
+"That is not fair! You cheated!" Lily says.
+
+She is angry and sad. She does not want to play with Ben anymore.
+
+Ben feels sorry. He did not mean to hurt Lily. He likes her. He wants to make her happy.
+
+"I am sorry, Lily. I was just joking. Please do not be mad at me. You are my best friend," he says.
+
+He gives her his toy car. He says she can keep it.
+
+Lily looks at the toy car. She likes it. It is shiny and red. She smiles.
+
+"Thank you, Ben. You are my best friend, too. I forgive you," she says.
+
+They hug and make up. They decide to play another game. A game that is fair and fun. A game that does not need any body parts. They play with their toy cars. They are happy. They are ordinary kids. They are best friends.

+"OK, Sue, but be careful. Chickens can peck and scratch," Tom says.
+
+They run to the barn and open the door. They see many chickens inside. Some are white, some are brown, some are black. Some are big, some are small. Some are laying eggs, some are clucking, some are scratching the ground.
+
+"Hello, chickens!" Sue says. "You are so pretty and fluffy. Can we pet you?"
+
+One of the chickens looks at Sue and Tom. It is a brown chicken with a red comb. It walks towards them and makes a loud noise.
+
+"Bawk, bawk, bawk!" the chicken says.
+
+"Wow, the chicken is talking to us!" Tom says. "What do you think it is saying?"
+
+"I don't know, Tom. Maybe it is saying hello, too. Or maybe it is saying that it is glad to see us," Sue says.
+
+They reach out their hands and gently touch the chicken. The chicken does not peck or scratch. It lets them pet it. It feels soft and warm.
+
+The chicken makes another noise.
+
+"Bawk, bawk, bawk!"
+
+"Maybe it is saying thank you for being nice to it," Sue says.
+
+"Or maybe it is saying that it likes us," Tom says.
+
+They smile and hug the chicken. They are happy and glad. They have made a new friend on the farm.

+
+Lily nodded and carried the books to the shelf. She saw a book with a brilliant cover. It had a rainbow and a unicorn on it. Lily wanted to see what was inside, so she opened the book and flipped the pages.
+
+She saw many beautiful things: a castle, a forest, a fairy, a dragon. She was so amazed that she forgot about her drink. She sat down on the floor and started to read the book.

+
+Lily was scared and cried. Her dad heard her and came to help. He turned off the stove and took the file away from the fire. He put the file in the sink and ran water over it. He hugged Lily and told her it was okay. He was not angry, but he was sad.
+
+He opened the file and looked at the pictures. They were wet and burned and some were gone. He saw a picture of Lily and him, holding hands.

+Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they found a big hill near their house. They wanted to climb it and see what was on the other side.
+

+
+Lily ran to him and hugged him. She looked at his finger and saw the tooth.
+
+"Don't cry, Ben!" Lily said. "It's OK. You are not hurt bad. And you know what? When you lose a tooth, a fairy comes at night and gives you a coin!"
+
+"Really?" Ben asked, sniffling.
+
+"Yes, really!" Lily said. "Mom told me. She said it's a magic thing that happens to big kids. You are a big kid now, Ben!"
+
+Ben smiled a little. He liked the idea of a fairy and a coin.
+
+"Can we keep climbing the hill?" Ben asked. "I still want to see what's on the other side."
+
+"Sure, Ben!" Lily said. "But first, let's put your tooth in your pocket. We don't want to lose it. And let's rinse your mouth with some water. We have a bottle in our backpack."
+
+They did what Lily said and then continued to climb the hill. They were brave and curious. They did not know that on the other side of the hill, there was a mean and ignorant boy who liked to throw stones at animals and people.

+
+They climbed closer to the nest and looked inside. They saw a big egg. It was white and shiny. They wondered what kind of bird it was.
+
+"Wow, look at the egg!" Lily said.
+
+"Maybe it is a dinosaur egg!" Tom said.
+
+They reached out to touch the egg. But then they heard a loud roar. They looked up and saw a big face. It was a man. He was angry and scary. He had a long beard and a big hat. He was hiding in the tree.
+
+"Get away from my egg!" the man shouted. "You are disturbing me!"
+
+Lily and Tom were scared. They let go of the egg and climbed down the tree. They ran away from the man. They did not want to disturb him again.
+
+They ran back to their mom and dad. They told them what they saw. Their mom and dad hugged them and said they were brave. They said they should not climb trees with strange men. They said they should be careful and respectful of nature.
+
+Lily and Tom nodded. They learned their lesson. They still liked to play in the park. But they did not disturb the man in the tree. They left him and his egg alone.
+Tom is a dog who likes to whistle. He whistles when he is happy, when he is sad, when he is bored, and when he is hungry. He whistles all the time, even when he sleeps.
+
+One day, Tom meets a cat who does not like to whistle. She is quiet and shy, and she hides under a tree. Tom wants to be her friend, so he whistles to her. But the cat does not come out. She covers her ears with her paws and says, "Stop! Stop! Your whistle is too loud! It hurts my ears!"
+
+Tom is sad. He does not want to hurt the cat. He wants to make her happy. He thinks, "Maybe she likes something else. Maybe she likes to play with a ball, or to chase a mouse, or to nap in the sun." He looks around and sees a ball. He picks it up with his mouth and runs to the tree. He drops the ball and whistles to the cat. "Look! Look! A ball! Do you want to play with me?"
+
+The cat peeks out from under the tree. She sees the ball and feels curious. She likes to play with balls, but she does not like loud noises. She says, "OK, I will play with you. But you have to be quiet. No more whistling, please."
+
+Tom nods his head. He is happy. He does not need to whistle to have fun. He can play with the ball and the cat. He rolls the ball to the cat with his paw. The cat bats it back with her paw. They take turns and have fun. They are quiet, but they smile and laugh. They become friends. Tom learns that sometimes, silence is golden.
+Sam was a big boy who liked to shave like his dad. He saw his dad use a razor every morning to make his face smooth. Sam wanted to try it too, but his dad said no. He said razors were sharp and dangerous, and only for grown-ups.
+
+One day, when his dad was at work, Sam found the razor in the bathroom. He thought it looked shiny and fun. He wanted to see how it felt on his face. He climbed on a stool and looked in the mirror. He held the razor in his hand and moved it close to his cheek.
+
+But he did not know how to use it right. He pressed too hard and made a cut. It hurt a lot and blood came out. Sam felt scared and sorry. He dropped the razor and started to cry. He trembled and wished his dad was there.
+
+His mom heard him and ran to the bathroom. She saw what happened and hugged him. She said it was okay and she would make it better. She cleaned his cut and put a band-aid on it. She said he was brave and she loved him. She said he should never touch the razor again.

+
+Mom looked at the price tag. It was very high. "Sorry, Tom, this ball is too expensive. We don't have enough money for it."
+
+Tom was sad. He really liked the red ball. He started to cry. Lily saw him and felt sorry for him. She had an idea.
+
+"Lily, why don't we buy a smaller ball? It is cheaper and we can share it." She said. She showed him a small red ball in a basket. It was not as big or shiny as the other ball, but it was still red.
+
+Tom stopped crying. He looked at the small ball. He smiled. "Okay, Lily, let's buy this ball. Thank you for being nice to me."

+Sam and Mia were playing on the beach. They liked to dig in the sand and find shells and rocks. Sometimes they saw boats on the water. They wondered what the boats were doing.
+
+One day, they saw a big boat with a flag and a loud horn. It came closer and closer to the shore. Sam and Mia ran to the water to see it better. They saw a big metal thing hanging from the boat. It looked like a hook.
+
+"What is that?" Sam asked.
+
+"That is an anchor," Mia said. "My dad told me. The boat uses it to stop and stay in one place."
+
+"Why does it do that?" Sam asked.
+
+"Maybe it wants to rest or fish or look at the sea," Mia said.
+
+The boat lowered the anchor into the water. It made a splash and a clank. Sam and Mia watched as the anchor sank into the sand. They wanted to touch it and see how it felt.
+
+"Let's go closer," Sam said.
+
+"OK, but be careful," Mia said.
+
+They walked into the water. It was cold and wet. They shivered and giggled. They reached the anchor. It was big and heavy and rusty. They touched it with their hands. It felt hard and rough.
+
+"Wow, this is cool," Sam said.
+
+"Yeah, but it is also cold," Mia said.
+
+They heard the boat horn again. It was loud and scary. They looked up and saw the boat moving. It was pulling the anchor out of the water.
+
+"Uh-oh, we have to quit," Sam said.
+
+"Yes, let's go back," Mia said.
+
+They ran out of the water. They were wet and cold and sandy. They grabbed their towels and wrapped themselves. They watched as the boat and the anchor disappeared into the sea.
+
+"That was fun," Sam said.
+
+"Yeah, but next time, let's stay away from the anchor," Mia said.
+
+They nodded and smiled. They went back to their sandcastle and played some more.

+"That is very nice of you, Rex. But that bone is too big for you. You will hurt your back and your teeth. Why don't you leave it here and come with me? I know a place where there are many small bones. They are easier to carry and taste better. I can show you," Spot suggested.
+
+Rex thought for a moment. He liked the idea of having many small bones. But he also liked the big bone. He did not want to give it up. He looked at Spot and then at the bone.
+
+"Thank you, Spot. You are very kind. But I think I will keep this bone. It is special to me. Maybe another day we can go and find small bones together. Goodbye, Spot," Rex said.
+
+"Goodbye, Rex. Be careful with that bone. I hope you and your family enjoy it," Spot said.
+
+Rex waved his tail and continued his journey. He was a loyal dog. He wanted to make his family happy. He did not mind the hard work. He knew the big bone was worth it.

+
+The next day, they go to school. They are alert and ready. The teacher gives them the quiz. Lily and Sam look at the questions and write the answers. They know the answers because they studied hard.

+Lily and Ben were playing in the backyard. They liked to dig holes and look for bugs and worms. They had a big shovel and a small bucket. They were very happy.
+
+But then they saw something strange. Behind the old shed, there was a big round thing. It was brown and had a metal ring around it. It looked like a big drum. Lily and Ben were curious. They wanted to see what was inside.
+
+They ran to the big round thing and tried to open it. It was very heavy and hard to move. They pushed and pulled and kicked and banged. Finally, they made a small hole in the top. They looked inside.
+
+"Wow!" Lily said. "What is that?"
+
+Ben sniffed the air. He made a face. "It smells bad!"
+
+They saw a lot of green and black and yellow stuff. It looked like old food and trash. It was very smelly. They heard a buzzing sound. There were many flies and maggots inside.
+
+"Yuck!" Ben said. "This is gross!"
+
+They wanted to get away from the big round thing. But they were too late. The hole they made was too big. The smelly stuff started to spill out. It splashed on their clothes and shoes and hair. It was sticky and slimy and stinky.
+
+Lily and Ben screamed. They ran to the house. They wanted to wash off the smelly stuff. They hoped their mom would not be mad.
+
+They learned a lesson. They should not open things they do not know. They should ask their mom first. They should not discover smelly barrels.
+Lily liked to draw with her crayons. She had many colors and shapes to make on paper. She was happy when she drew.
+
+One day, she went with her mom to the subway. The subway was a big train that went under the ground. It was loud and fast and had many people inside.
+
+Lily saw a big wall in the subway station. It was white and empty. She thought it would be a good place to draw. She took out her crayons and started to mark on the wall. She made a big sun and a flower and a cat.
+
+But a man in a blue shirt saw her. He was angry. He said, "Stop! You can't mark on the wall! That is bad! You have to pay money for that!"
+
+Lily was scared. She did not know she was doing something bad. She thought it was easy and fun to draw on the wall. She said, "Sorry, sorry, I didn't know!"
+
+Her mom came and took her hand. She said, "Lily, you can't draw on the wall. That is not your paper. That is the subway's wall. You have to ask before you mark on something that is not yours."
+
+Lily felt sad. She said, "OK, mom, I understand. I won't mark on the wall again. Can I keep my crayons?"
+
+Her mom said, "Yes, you can keep your crayons. But you have to use them on your own paper. And you have to say sorry to the man in the blue shirt."
+
+Lily said, "OK, mom, I will." She said sorry to the man in the blue shirt. He said, "It's OK, kid, just don't do it again."
+
+Lily and her mom got on the subway train. Lily drew on her paper. She made a big heart and wrote, "I love mom." She gave it to her mom. Her mom smiled and hugged her. Lily was happy again.
+There was a boy who liked to play with his toys. He had many toys, but he did not like to share them with his friends. He always said, "No, these are my toys. You cannot play with them." His friends felt sad and angry, and they did not want to play with him anymore.
+
+One day, his mother told him to clean his room. She said, "You have too many toys. You need to give some of them to other children who have no toys. If you do not clean your room and share your toys, I will not allow you to watch your favorite show." The boy did not want to miss his show, but he also did not want to give away his toys. He thought, "Maybe I can hide some of them under the bed or in the closet. Then my mother will not see them and I can keep them."
+
+He tried to do that, but his mother was very smart. She looked under the bed and in the closet and found the toys that he hid. She said, "You are not being honest and kind. You have to learn to share and be generous. You have enough toys for yourself and for others. If you do not give some of them to other children, I will not allow you to watch your show for a week." The boy felt scared and sorry. He realized that he was being selfish and mean. He said, "I am sorry, mother. You are right. I will clean my room and share my toys with other children. Please forgive me and allow me to watch my show."
+
+His mother smiled and hugged him. She said, "I am proud of you, my son. You have learned a valuable lesson. Sharing is caring. When you share your toys, you make other children happy and you make yourself happy too. You can watch your show, but first, let's go and find some children who need your toys." The boy agreed and followed his mother. He gave some of his toys to other children who had no toys. He saw their smiles and heard their thanks. He felt happy and warm in his heart. He learned to be a good and generous boy.

+Tom and Sue wanted to watch a movie with their mom and dad. They liked movies with animals and songs. Mom said they could have popcorn, too. Popcorn was their favorite snack. It was crunchy and salty and yummy.
+
+But they had to wait for the popcorn to be ready. Mom put it in a big pot on the stove. She said they had to listen for the popping sound. Tom and Sue were impatient. They wanted to watch the movie now. They asked mom how long it would take. Mom said, "Just a few more minutes, sweeties. Be patient."
+
+Tom and Sue tried to be patient, but they were bored. They looked around the kitchen for something to do. They saw a bowl of apples on the table. Tom had an idea. He whispered to Sue, "Let's play a game. We can pretend we are animals and bite the apples." Sue nodded. She liked games. They each took an apple and ran to the couch.
+
+They pretended they were lions and tigers and bears. They growled and roared and bit the apples. They made a big mess. They had fun. But they did not hear the popcorn popping. They did not hear mom calling them. They did not see dad coming into the living room.
+
+Dad saw them on the couch with the apples. He was angry. He said, "What are you doing? You are not supposed to bite the apples. You are supposed to eat them. And look at this mess. You have to clean it up. And you have to wait for the popcorn. It is almost ready. You are very naughty."
+
+Tom and Sue felt bad. They did not mean to be naughty. They said, "We are sorry, dad. We were just playing a game. We were impatient for the popcorn. We love popcorn. Can we still watch the movie?" Dad sighed. He said, "Yes, you can still watch the movie. But you have to clean up the mess first. And you have to say sorry to mom. And you have to be more patient next time. Popcorn is worth the wait."
+Lila and Ben love to play with water. They have a big spray bottle that they fill with water and take turns to spray each other. They laugh and run and get wet.
+
+One day, they see a big butterfly in the garden. It has many colors on its wings. It flies from flower to flower. Lila and Ben want to see it closer. They follow the butterfly with the spray bottle.
+

+
+"Yes, it is. But don't spray it, it might get hurt." Ben says.
+
+But Lila is too curious. She wants to touch the butterfly. She sprays a little water at it. The butterfly stops flying. It falls on the grass.
+
+"Oh no, what have you done?" Ben cries.
+
+Lila feels bad. She picks up the butterfly gently. She sees that it is still alive, but wet and weak. She blows on it softly. She hopes it will fly again.
+
+"I'm sorry, butterfly. I didn't mean to hurt you. Please forgive me." She says.
+
+She puts the butterfly on a sunny flower. She and Ben wait and watch. After a while, the butterfly moves its wings. It flaps them slowly. Then it flies away.
+
+Lila and Ben are happy. They clap their hands. They have learned a lesson. They will not spray the butterfly again.
+
+The butterfly gives them a reward. It comes back and lands on Lila's nose. It tickles her. She giggles. Ben smiles. The butterfly flies away again.
+
+"Thank you, butterfly. You are very kind." Lila says.
+
+They hug each other. They go back to play with water. But they are more careful now. They only spray each other. They have fun.
+Sara and Tom were friends who liked to swim in the sea. One day, they saw a big yacht with a purple flag. They wanted to go and see it, so they swam towards it.
+
+"Wow, look at that yacht! It is so big and shiny!" Sara said.
+
+"Maybe there are people inside who can give us some food and toys!" Tom said.
+
+They swam closer and closer to the yacht, but they did not see anyone on the deck. They climbed up the ladder and looked around. They saw a lot of things that they liked: a big cake, a teddy bear, a ball, and a book.
+
+"Let's take some of these things and play with them!" Sara said.
+
+"OK, but we have to be quick and quiet. Maybe the people who own the yacht will come back soon and get angry at us!" Tom said.
+
+They took some of the things and ran to the other side of the yacht. They did not know that the yacht was not anchored and that the wind was blowing it away from the shore. They did not hear the horn of a big ship that was coming towards them. They did not see the big wave that hit the yacht and made it tip over.
+
+They fell into the water and screamed for help. But no one heard them or saw them. They could not swim back to the shore. They could not hold on to anything. They were scared and cold and hungry. They wished they had not gone to the yacht. They wished they had listened to their parents who told them not to swim too far. They wished they had not taken things that did not belong to them.
+
+But it was too late. The big ship passed by and did not notice them. The water swallowed them and they were gone.
+
+The moral of the story is: Do not be greedy and curious. Do not go to places where you are not supposed to go. Do not take things that are not yours. Listen to your parents and be safe.

+
+But Fluffy does not listen. Fluffy jumps off the fence and runs towards Tom and Spot. Fluffy bites Spot on the ear. Spot yelps and bites Fluffy on the paw. Fluffy meows and bites Tom on the hand. Tom cries and drops Fluffy.

+
+The neighbor hears the noise and comes out of the house. The neighbor sees Tom, Spot and Fluffy biting each other. The neighbor is angry and scared.

+
+Tom nods and wipes his tears. Spot licks his ear and wags his tail. Tom hugs Spot and says sorry too.
+

+
+Their mom hugs them. She says, "It is okay. The man is rude. He should not shout at you. You did not hurt his car. You were just curious. Come on, let's go to the playground.

+They see their mom. She is watering the flowers. They say, "Mom, mom, there is a scary thing in the garden. It has spikes and it hurts." Mom says, "Oh, that is a cactus. It is a plant that lives in the desert. It has spikes to protect itself from animals. You should not touch it. It is not a toy."
+
+Tim and Sam say, "Sorry, mom. We did not know. We will not touch it again." Mom says, "It's okay. Come here and let me see your fingers. I will put some cream on them. Then you can have a snack and a nap. You look sleepy."

+
+But then, Ben sees a spot on his paper. He does not like the spot. He wants to make it go away. He looks for an eraser. He finds one on the table. He rubs the eraser on the spot. But the eraser is not gentle. It is hard and rough. It makes a hole in the paper. Ben is sad. He weeps.
+
+Anna hears Ben weep. She goes to him and sees the hole. She feels sorry for Ben. She says, "Don't weep, Ben. It's okay. We can fix it." She takes a piece of tape and sticks it on the hole. She says, "Look, now the hole is gone. Your drawing is still good. You have a nice car and a house."

+
+"It is a vase with flowers," Dad said. "It is very pretty and very fragile. We have to be careful with it."

+Her mom heard her and turned around. She saw Lily's face and felt sorry for her.

+One day, Lily finds a new paint. It is in a big bottle. It is yellow and shiny. Lily thinks it is pretty. She wants to paint with it. She opens the bottle and smells it. It smells sour. Lily does not like sour things. But she still wants to paint with it.
+
+She dips her brush in the bottle and paints on her nose. She thinks it is funny. She laughs. She paints on her ears, her cheeks, her hair. She looks like a yellow clown. She laughs more.

+Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play together. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big red ball. They would roll it, bounce it, and kick it all over the yard.
+
+One day, their mom said it was time for a nap. Lily and Ben did not want to nap. They wanted to play with the ball some more. But mom said they had to nap, or they would be cranky and tired later. She took them to their room and tucked them in their beds.
+
+Lily closed her eyes and tried to sleep, but she could not. She wondered what the ball was doing outside. She wanted to play with it again. She peeked at Ben and saw that he was sleeping. He looked so peaceful and happy. Lily felt envious. She wished she could sleep like him.
+
+She got out of her bed and tiptoed to the door. She opened it a little and looked outside. She saw the ball lying on the grass. It looked lonely and bored. Lily felt sorry for it. She decided to go and play with it for a little while. She thought mom would not notice.
+
+She ran outside and grabbed the ball. She threw it in the air and caught it. She felt happy and excited. She did not see mom coming out of the house. Mom saw Lily and the ball. She was not happy.

+
+Lily felt sad and sorry. She wished she had listened to mom and napped like Ben. She went back to her room and lay down on her bed. She looked at Ben and felt envious again.

+One day, a girl named Lily wanted to help her mom make soup. Her mom said she could help by peeling an onion. Lily liked onions, but she did not like how they made her eyes water and sting. She asked her mom why onions did that.
+
+Her mom said onions had a smell that made people cry, but they also made the soup taste good. She said Lily could wear some glasses to protect her eyes, or she could peel the onion under water. Lily decided to try the glasses. She put them on and felt very silly. She looked at her mom and they both laughed.

+Lily took the onion and a knife and started to peel it. She was careful not to cut herself. She peeled off the brown skin and saw the white part. She cut it into small pieces and put them in a bowl. She did not cry at all. She felt very proud of herself.
+
+She gave the bowl to her mom, who thanked her for her help. She said Lily was a good helper and a good cook. She put the onion pieces in a pot with water, carrots, potatoes, and chicken. She said the soup would be ready soon.
+
+Lily and her mom set the table and waited for the soup to boil. They smelled the onion and the other things in the pot. They smelled yummy. Lily was hungry and excited to taste the soup. She hoped her dad and her brother would like it too.
+
+It was a gloomy day outside, with gray clouds and rain. But inside, Lily and her mom felt warm and happy. They had fun making soup together. They had fun talking and laughing. They had fun helping each other. They did not mind the gloomy day, because they had each other.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They gave him a carrot nose and two buttons for eyes. They were very happy.
+
+But then a big dog came. He was black and furry. He ran to the snowman and barked. He bit the hat and the scarf. He pulled the carrot nose and the buttons. He made the snowman fall down. He broke him.
+
+Tom and Lily were sad and angry. They shouted at the dog. "Go away, bad dog! You are mean! You ruined our snowman!" But the dog did not listen. He wagged his tail and ran away.
+
+Tom and Lily looked at their snowman. He was not a snowman anymore. He was a pile of snow with a strip of cloth and a half of a carrot. They felt cold and wet. They shivered.
+
+They decided to go home. They picked up their sled and walked to their house. They hoped their mom would make them hot chocolate and cookies. They hoped they could make another snowman tomorrow. They hoped the dog would not come back.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play in the park with their mom. One day, they see a big slide. Anna wants to go first. She climbs up the ladder and sits on the slide. She sees her shadow on the ground. It looks like a big bird.
+
+"Look, Ben, I'm a bird!" she says.
+
+Ben climbs up after her. He wants to be a bird too. He sits behind Anna on the slide. He sees his shadow next to hers. They look like two birds.
+
+"Let's fly, Anna!" he says.
+
+They push off the slide and go down fast. They feel the wind in their hair and the sun on their faces. They laugh and scream. They land on the grass and roll over. They are happy.
+
+But then they hear a loud noise. It is a dog. A big, black dog. It runs towards them, barking and growling. It sees their shadows and thinks they are birds. It wants to catch them.
+
+"Run, Anna, run!" Ben says.
+
+They get up and run to their mom. The dog chases them. It is faster than them. It is almost near them. They are scared.
+
+But then their mom sees them. She sees the dog too. She picks up a stick and throws it. The dog sees the stick and runs after it. It forgets about Anna and Ben. It likes the stick more than the shadows.
+
+"Are you okay, my loves?" their mom says.
+
+She hugs them and kisses them. They hug her back and nod. They are okay. They are safe.
+
+They are also sleepy. They played a lot. They yawn and rub their eyes. Their mom sees that they are tired. She takes them to the car and buckles them up. She drives them home. She sings them a song. They close their eyes and fall asleep. They dream of flying.
+Ben and Mia were best friends. They liked to play together every day. They had a big tent in the backyard, where they pretended to be explorers and adventurers.
+
+One morning, they woke up early and saw the sunrise. The sky was pink and orange and yellow. It was very pretty. Ben wanted to go outside and see it better. He said to Mia, "Come on, let's go see the sunrise. It's so beautiful."
+
+But Mia was sleepy and grumpy. She did not want to go outside. She said to Ben, "No, I don't want to. It's too cold and too bright. I want to stay in the tent and sleep."
+
+Ben was sad. He wanted to share the sunrise with his friend. He said to Mia, "Please, Mia, don't ignore me. It's a special moment. We can have fun and learn new things. Please, come with me."
+
+But Mia did not listen. She ignored Ben and turned away. She closed her eyes and snored.
+
+Ben decided to go outside by himself. He was brave and curious. He put on his jacket and his hat and his boots. He walked to the fence and climbed up. He saw the sunrise more clearly. He saw the birds and the flowers and the trees. He felt happy and amazed.
+
+He wished Mia was there with him. He thought, "Maybe she will change her mind and join me. Maybe she will see how wonderful the sunrise is. Maybe she will apologize for ignoring me."
+
+But Mia did not change her mind. She did not join Ben. She did not see the sunrise. She did not apologize. She missed a great opportunity to enjoy nature and friendship.
+
+The moral of the story is: Don't ignore your friends when they invite you to do something new and exciting. You might miss something beautiful and valuable. You might hurt their feelings and lose their trust. You might regret it later. Be brave and open-minded. Be kind and respectful. Be a good friend.
+Lily and Tom wanted to decorate their room. They had many stickers and papers and crayons. They liked to make pictures and shapes and put them on the wall. They wanted to make their room look nice and fun.
+
+But Mom said they had to clean their room first. She said they had to put away their toys and clothes and books. She said they had to make their bed and sweep the floor. She said they had to do their chores before they could decorate.
+
+Lily and Tom did not like to clean. They wanted to decorate now. They thought cleaning was boring and hard. They tried to do it fast, but they did not do it well. They hid some toys under the bed and some clothes in the closet. They did not sweep the floor or make the bed. They just threw the books on the shelf.
+
+Then they started to decorate. They put stickers and papers and crayons everywhere. They made pictures and shapes and put them on the wall. They did not care if they were neat or fit. They just wanted to have fun.
+
+But Mom came back and saw their room. She was not happy. She said they did not clean their room. She said they made a mess. She said they did not listen to her. She said they could not decorate until they cleaned their room properly. She said they had no reward.
+
+Lily and Tom were sad. They did not want to clean their room. They did not want to take off their stickers and papers and crayons. They did not want to lose their reward. They wished they had done their chores first. They learned their lesson.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to observe the birds and the flowers and the clouds. They had a big book with pictures of different things they could see in nature.
+
+"Look, Lily, I see a spike on that bird's head!" Tom said, pointing to a woodpecker on a tree.
+
+"A spike? What is a spike?" Lily asked, looking at the book.
+
+"A spike is a sharp thing that can poke or hurt. Like a needle or a thorn. The bird has a spike on its head to make holes in the wood and find bugs to eat," Tom explained.
+
+"Wow, that is cool! Can we touch the spike?" Lily wondered.
+
+"No, no, we can't touch the spike. It might hurt us or the bird. We have to be gentle and quiet and observe from a distant place," Tom said.
+
+"A distant place? What is a distant place?" Lily asked.
+
+"A distant place is a place that is far away or not close. Like the moon or the mountain. We have to observe from a distant place so we don't scare the bird or make it fly away," Tom said.
+
+"OK, I understand. Let's observe from a distant place and see what the bird does next," Lily said.
+
+They sat on a bench and watched the bird with their eyes and ears. They learned a lot and had fun. They liked to observe.
+Lily liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls with different clothes and hair. She liked to dress them up and make them look pretty. She liked fashion.
+
+One day, she wanted to show her dolls to her friend Anna. She put them in a big bag and went to Anna's house. She was anxious. She hoped Anna would like her dolls too.
+
+When she got to Anna's house, she knocked on the door. Anna opened it and smiled. "Hi, Lily! Come in! Do you want to play with me?" she asked.
+
+"Yes, please! I brought my dolls. Can I show you?" Lily said.
+
+"Sure! I love dolls! Let's go to my room!" Anna said.
+
+They went to Anna's room and Lily opened her bag. She took out her dolls one by one and told Anna their names and stories. Anna looked at them with wonder. She liked Lily's dolls. They were so pretty and different.
+
+"Wow, Lily! Your dolls are amazing! You have so much fashion! Can I use some of your clothes for my dolls?" Anna asked.
+
+"Of course! You are my friend. We can share. You can use any clothes you want. Let's make them look even prettier!" Lily said.
+
+They spent a long time playing with the dolls. They changed their clothes, combed their hair, and made them talk to each other. They had so much fun. They were not anxious anymore. They were happy.
+Jill and Tom are happy. They are going on vacation with Mom and Dad. They pack their bags and toys. They hear the car beep. It is time to go.
+
+They drive for a long time. They see many things. They see cows and trees and bridges. They hear songs on the radio. They sing along. They are having fun.
+
+They get to the hotel. It is big and shiny. They go to their room. It has two beds and a TV. They jump on the beds. They hear Mom say, "Be careful!"
+
+They go to the pool. It is blue and warm. They put on their swimsuits. They splash and swim. They hear Dad say, "Watch out for the deep end!"
+
+They go to the beach. It is sunny and sandy. They build a castle. They find shells and rocks. They hear a bird say, "Squawk!"
+
+They have a great vacation. They are flexible. They try new things. They hear Mom and Dad say, "We love you!"
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big slide. It looks fun. They run to the slide and wait for their turn.
+
+Anna goes first. She climbs up the ladder and sits on the slide. She slides down fast and laughs. She feels happy. She tells Ben to try it too.
+
+Ben nods and climbs up the ladder. He sits on the slide. But he does not slide down. He says "Ow!" and jumps off. He feels pain. The slide is hot. The sun made it hot. He did not know that.
+
+Anna sees Ben and runs to him. She asks him if he is okay. He says he is okay, but his bum hurts. He shows her his red bum. She says she is sorry. She did not know the slide was hot either.
+
+They decide to play somewhere else. They find a shady tree and sit under it. They drink some water and eat some cookies. They feel better. They are still friends. They hug and smile. They learned something new. They will not sit on a hot slide again. The end.
+Lily liked to jump on her bed. She jumped high and low, up and down, with a big smile. She did not listen to Mommy, who said jumping on the bed was bad. Mommy said she could fall and hurt herself. But Lily did not care. She thought jumping was fun.
+
+One day, Lily jumped too high. She hit her head on the ceiling. It hurt a lot. She cried and cried. Mommy heard her and ran to her room. She saw blood on Lily's head and on the bed. She was scared. She called Daddy and told him to come home. She wrapped Lily's head with a cloth and took her to the car.
+
+They drove fast to the hospital. The hospital was a big white building with a red cross. There were many people and cars there. Mommy carried Lily inside and asked for help. A man in a white coat and a woman in a blue dress came. They took Lily to a room with a bed and a machine. They said they had to fix Lily's head. They gave her a mask to breathe. Lily felt sleepy.
+
+Mommy and Daddy waited outside. They were sad and worried. They prayed for Lily to be okay. They waited for a long time. Then the man in the white coat came out. He looked sad too. He said he was sorry. He said Lily's head was too hurt. He said she could not wake up. He said she was gone.
+
+Mommy and Daddy cried and cried. They hugged each other. They said they loved Lily. They said they missed her. They said they wished they had stopped her from jumping on the bed. They said they wished they had been more careful. They said they wished they had a different ending.
+Ben and Lily liked to draw with crayons on paper. They had many colors and shapes to make. But they did not like to share their paper. They wanted to have their own paper to draw on.
+
+One day, they had only one big paper left. They both wanted it. They started to pull on the paper and yell at each other. "Mine!" "No, mine!" They did not listen to each other. They did not care about the paper. They only cared about winning.
+
+Mom heard them and came to see what was wrong. She saw the paper and the crayons and the angry faces. She was not happy. She said, "Stop! You are not being nice. You are hurting the paper and each other. You need to separate and calm down."
+
+She took the paper and the crayons and put them away. She said, "You can have them back when you can share and play nicely. Now go to your rooms and think about what you did." She sent them to their rooms.
+
+Ben and Lily felt sad and sorry. They did not like to fight. They did not like to be alone. They missed their paper and their crayons and each other. They wished they had been more kind and fair. They decided to say sorry and make up.
+
+They went to Mom and hugged her. They said, "We are sorry, Mom. We were wrong. We want to share and play nicely. Can we have our paper and our crayons back?" Mom smiled and said, "I'm glad you are sorry. I forgive you. You can have your paper and your crayons back. But you have to split the paper in half and draw on your own side. Can you do that?" They nodded and said, "Yes, Mom. We can do that."
+
+Mom gave them the paper and the crayons and helped them cut the paper in half. They each took their half and went to the table. They started to draw on their own side. They did not fight or yell. They looked at each other's drawings and said nice things. They were happy and peaceful. They learned to separate and share.
+Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play outside. One day, they see a big red balloon in the sky. It is flying high and fast.
+
+"Wow, look at the balloon!" Tom says. "I wish I could fly like that."
+
+"Me too," Lily says. "But we can't fly. We are not birds."
+
+Tom thinks for a moment. He has an idea. He runs to his bike. It has two wheels and a pedal. He says to Lily, "Come on, let's ride our bikes. Maybe we can catch the balloon."
+
+Lily smiles. She likes Tom's idea. She runs to her bike. It has three wheels and a pedal. She says to Tom, "OK, let's go. But be careful. Don't go too fast."
+
+Tom and Lily ride their bikes on the road. They follow the balloon. They pedal hard and fast. They feel the wind in their hair. They feel like they are flying.
+
+They see the balloon getting closer. They are happy. They shout, "We did it! We did it!"
+
+But then, the balloon pops. It makes a loud noise. It falls to the ground. Tom and Lily stop their bikes. They are sad. They say, "Oh no, the balloon is gone."
+
+They get off their bikes. They walk to the balloon. It is broken and flat. They feel sorry for the balloon.
+
+They see a man. He is holding a string. He was flying the balloon. He is sad too. He says, "I'm sorry, kids. I lost my balloon. It was a gift from my wife. She is very kind. She gave it to me for my birthday."
+
+Tom and Lily look at the man. They feel sorry for him too. They say, "We're sorry, mister. We liked your balloon. It was very pretty. We wanted to fly with it."
+
+The man smiles. He says, "Thank you, kids. You are very kind too. You wanted to fly with my balloon. That is very sweet. But you don't need a balloon to fly. You have your bikes. You can fly with your bikes. You can fly with your imagination."
+
+Tom and Lily smile too. They say, "You're right, mister. We can fly with our bikes. We can fly with our imagination. Thank you for your balloon. Thank you for your words."
+
+The man says, "You're welcome, kids. Thank you for your company. Thank you for your smiles."
+
+Tom and Lily hug the man. They say, "Bye, mister. Have a nice day."
+
+The man says, "Bye, kids. Have a nice day too."
+
+Tom and Lily get on their bikes. They ride away. They pedal slow and easy. They look at the sky. They see the clouds. They see the birds. They see the sun. They feel happy. They feel like they are flying.
+Ben and Mia like to play with wood. They have a big box of wood pieces and a hammer and some nails. They make houses and cars and boats with the wood. They are very careful with the hammer and the nails.
+
+One day, Ben and Mia find a big wood board in the box. They want to make a big house with it. Ben says, "Let's split the board in two. Then we can make a roof and a wall." Mia says, "OK, how do we split it?" Ben says, "We need to hit it with the hammer and the nail. Like this."
+
+Ben takes a nail and puts it on the board. He hits it with the hammer. But the board is very hard. The nail does not go in. It bends and falls off. Ben tries again. He hits harder. But the board does not split. It makes a loud noise. Ben says, "This is too hard. I can't split it."
+
+Mia says, "Let me try. Maybe I can split it." She takes another nail and puts it on the board. She hits it with the hammer. But the board is very hard. The nail does not go in. It breaks and flies away. Mia says, "Ouch! That hurt. I can't split it either."
+
+Ben and Mia look at the board. It has many marks from the nails. But it is still one piece. They are sad. They can't make a big house with it. They say, "What can we do now?" Then they see their dad. He is working in the garage. He has a big saw. He can cut wood. They run to him. They say, "Dad, can you help us? We want to split this board. But it is too hard. We can't do it with the hammer and the nails. Can you do it with the saw?" Dad says, "Sure, I can help you. Let's go to the garage. I will show you how to split the board with the saw. Then you can make your big house." Ben and Mia are happy. They follow their dad. They thank him for helping them. They learn how to split the board with the saw. Then they make their big house with the wood. They have fun. They are proud of their work.
+Tom was very happy today. He had a new toy car. It was red and shiny and fast. He wanted to play with it all day. He opened the box and took out the car. He made it zoom on the floor and on the couch.
+
+But Tom wanted to see how high his car could go. He had an idea. He put his car on a big book and pushed it hard. The car flew in the air and hit the ceiling. Tom heard a loud bang and saw a hole in the ceiling. He was scared.
+
+Mom came running to see what happened. She saw the hole and the car on the floor. She was angry. She asked Tom why he did that. Tom said he was sorry. He just wanted to play with his new car. He did not mean to break the ceiling.
+
+Mom sighed. She picked up the car and gave it to Tom. She said he could keep his new car, but he had to be careful. He could not throw it or hit anything with it. He had to play with it on the ground or on a table. She said she would fix the ceiling later.
+
+Tom nodded. He hugged his mom and said he loved her. He said he loved his new car too, but he would not make it fly again. He learned his lesson. He went to his room and played with his car quietly. He was happy again.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, Lily has a new toy. It is a cute bear. It is brown and soft. Lily loves her bear.
+
+"Look, Ben, look!" Lily says. "This is my new toy. His name is Bobo. He is cute, right?"
+
+Ben looks at the bear. He likes it too. He wants to touch it and hug it. But he is shy. He does not know if Lily will let him.
+
+"Can I play with Bobo?" Ben asks. "He looks very nice."
+
+Lily smiles. She is happy that Ben likes her toy. She is a good friend. She wants to share with Ben.
+
+"Sure, you can play with Bobo," Lily says. "But be careful. He is my favorite toy. Do not hurt him or lose him."
+
+Ben nods. He is careful. He takes Bobo and hugs him. He feels warm and happy. He thanks Lily.
+
+"Thank you, Lily," Ben says. "You are very kind. Bobo is a great toy. I like him a lot."
+
+Lily and Ben play with Bobo. They make him talk and dance and sing. They have fun. They are good friends. They send each other looks of joy. They are happy.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the kitchen. They saw a big cupboard with a lock. They wanted to see what was inside.
+
+"Let's open it!" said Lily.
+
+"No, we can't. Mom said it is dangerous. There are smelly things inside." said Ben.
+
+But Lily did not listen. She found a key under the mat and put it in the lock. She turned it and opened the cupboard.
+
+"Wow, look at all these bottles and cans!" said Lily. She took one and shook it. It made a funny noise.
+
+"Put it back, Lily. It is not a toy. It is poison." said Ben.
+
+But Lily did not listen. She opened the bottle and smelled it. It was very smelly. She felt sick and dizzy. She dropped the bottle and it spilled on the floor.
+
+"Help, help!" she cried. "It hurts!"
+
+Ben ran to get Mom. Mom came and saw what happened. She was very angry and scared. She called the doctor and took Lily to the hospital.
+
+Lily had to stay in the hospital for a long time. She had to take medicine and get shots. She was very sorry for what she did.
+
+The moral of the story is: listen to your parents and do not touch things that are dangerous.
+Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play outside. They had a big lawn with many flowers and trees. One day, they saw a man with a cart full of apples. The man stopped near their house and said, "Hello, boys. Do you want to buy some tasty apples? They are fresh and juicy."
+
+Tim and Sam ran to the man and looked at the apples. They wanted to eat them, but they had no money. They asked their mom if they could have some, but she said, "No, boys. You have to earn money if you want to buy something. You can help me with some chores, or you can do something nice for someone else."
+
+Tim and Sam thought about what they could do. They saw their neighbor, Mrs. Lee, who was old and had a hard time walking. She had a lawn too, but it was full of weeds and trash. Tim and Sam had an idea. They went to Mrs. Lee and said, "Hello, Mrs. Lee. We want to help you. Can we clean your lawn for you?"
+
+Mrs. Lee was surprised and happy. She said, "Oh, thank you, boys. That is very kind of you. Yes, you can clean my lawn. I will give you some cookies and lemonade when you are done."
+
+Tim and Sam worked hard and cleaned Mrs. Lee's lawn. They pulled out the weeds, picked up the trash, and watered the flowers. They made the lawn look nice and neat. Mrs. Lee was very pleased and gave them some cookies and lemonade. She also gave them some money and said, "You did a great job, boys. You deserve a reward. Here, take this money and buy some tasty apples. You are good boys."
+
+Tim and Sam thanked Mrs. Lee and ran to the man with the cart. They bought some tasty apples and shared them with their mom. Their mom was proud of them and said, "You did a good thing, boys. You helped someone who needed it, and you earned your money. You learned a valuable lesson today. Giving is better than taking."
+Tom and Mia are twins. They like to play with their toys and sing songs. One day, their mom says they can go to the opera with her. Tom and Mia do not know what opera is, but they are happy to go out.
+
+They get in the car and drive to a big building. Mom says the opera is inside. They go in and find their seats. Mom says they have to be quiet and listen. Tom and Mia nod. They see a lot of people on the stage. They wear fancy clothes and wigs. They start to sing.
+
+Tom and Mia hear the singing. It is very loud and high. Tom thinks it sounds funny. He giggles. Mia thinks it sounds pretty. She claps. Mom tells them to shush. They try to be quiet, but they are bored. They want to play.
+
+They see a man on the stage. He has a sword. He looks angry. He sings at a woman. She sings back. They sound sad. Tom and Mia wonder what they are saying. They do not understand the words. They watch the man and the woman.
+
+The man stabs the woman with his sword. She falls down. She does not sing anymore. She does not move. Tom and Mia are shocked. They gasp. They think she is dead. They are scared. They cry. Mom hugs them and says it is not real. It is just a story. The woman is not dead. She is just pretending. Tom and Mia do not believe her. They want to go home. They do not like opera.
+Anna loves to play with her flute. It is a shiny, silver thing that makes pretty sounds when she blows into it. Her mommy gave it to her for her birthday and told her to be careful with it, because it is expensive.
+
+One day, Anna is playing with her flute in the living room, when her little brother Tom comes in. He wants to play with the flute too, but Anna does not want to share. She says it is hers and he can not touch it. Tom gets angry and tries to grab the flute from Anna.
+
+They pull and tug on the flute, and Anna hears a loud snap. The flute breaks in two. Anna and Tom stop and look at the broken flute. They feel very bad. They know they did something wrong.
+
+They hear their mommy coming. They are scared of what she will say. They hide the broken flute under the couch and hope she will not find it. But mommy is very smart. She sees the sad faces of Anna and Tom and knows something is wrong. She asks them what happened.
+
+Anna and Tom tell her the truth. They say they are sorry for breaking the flute. They say they will not fight over toys again. Mommy is not happy, but she is not very angry either. She hugs them and says she loves them. She says they will have to save some money to buy a new flute. She says they will have to share it and take turns. Anna and Tom agree. They say they love mommy too. They learn a lesson.
+Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play with their toys. One day, they found a magic wand in their room. It was shiny and had a star on the end. They wondered what it could do.
+
+They decided to try the wand on their toys. Ben pointed the wand at his teddy bear and said, "Turn into a real bear!" The wand made a sound and the teddy bear turned into a big, brown bear. The bear roared and chased Ben around the room. Lily was scared and hid under the bed.
+
+Lily pointed the wand at her doll and said, "Turn into a real princess!" The wand made a sound and the doll turned into a beautiful princess. The princess smiled and asked Lily to be her friend. Lily was happy and came out from under the bed.
+
+But the princess was not honest. She wanted the wand for herself. She grabbed the wand from Lily and said, "Turn into a frog!" The wand made a sound and Lily turned into a green frog. The princess laughed and ran away with the wand.
+
+Ben and Lily were stuck as a bear and a frog. They cried and wished they had never played with the magic wand. They learned that magic can be dangerous and that they should not trust strangers.
+
+The end.
+Tim and Lily liked to swim in the pool. They had a big ball that they threw to each other. The ball was red and yellow and made a splash when it landed in the water.
+
+One day, Tim saw a new ball in the toy store. It was blue and green and had stars on it. It looked very pretty and shiny. Tim wanted the new ball very much. He asked his mom if he could buy it.
+
+"Okay, but you have to replace your old ball with the new one. You can't have two balls, that's too much," his mom said.
+
+Tim agreed. He took the new ball and gave his old ball to the store clerk. He was very happy with his new ball. He ran to the pool to show Lily.
+
+"Look, Lily, I have a new ball! It's blue and green and has stars on it. Do you like it?" Tim said.
+
+Lily looked at the new ball. She did not like it. She liked the old ball better. It was red and yellow and made a splash. The new ball was too bright and too hard. It hurt her eyes and her hands.
+
+"I don't like your new ball, Tim. I want the old ball back. The old ball was important to me. It was our ball. We played with it every day. Where is the old ball?" Lily said.
+
+Tim felt bad. He did not think about Lily's feelings. He only thought about himself. He wanted to make Lily happy, but he did not know how. He looked at the store, but he did not see the old ball. The store clerk had sold it to another kid.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily. I can't get the old ball back. The store clerk gave it to someone else. I didn't know you liked it so much. I thought you would like the new ball too," Tim said.
+
+Lily was very sad and angry. She did not want to play with Tim anymore. She did not want to swim with him or throw the ball with him. She turned away from him and went to the other side of the pool. She did not talk to him or look at him.
+
+Tim was very sad and lonely. He had lost his best friend and his favorite ball. He wished he had never replaced the old ball with the new one. He wished he had listened to his mom and been happy with what he had. He learned a hard lesson that day. He learned that some things are more important than others, and that he should not be greedy or selfish. He learned that he should care about his friends and their feelings. He learned that he should not replace what he loves with what he likes.
+Tim and Jen are friends. They like to play outside in the sun. They have a cooler with juice and snacks. They share the cooler and have fun.
+
+One day, a big dog comes to their yard. The dog is brown and furry. He looks friendly, but he is hungry. He sees the cooler and runs to it. He tries to open the cooler with his teeth.
+
+"Hey, stop that!" Tim says to the dog. "That is our cooler. You can't have our juice and snacks."
+
+The dog barks at Tim. He does not listen. He wants the cooler.
+
+Jen is scared of the dog. She runs to the house. She tells her mom about the dog. Her mom comes outside with a leash. She is not angry at the dog. She knows the dog is lost and needs help.
+
+"Hello, dog," Jen's mom says. "You are a very interesting dog. But you can't take the cooler. That is not nice. Come here, I will give you some water and food. Maybe I can find your owner."
+
+The dog wags his tail. He likes Jen's mom. He follows her to the house. He leaves the cooler alone.
+
+Tim and Jen are happy. They go back to the cooler. They drink some juice and eat some snacks. They are glad that Jen's mom is kind to the dog. They hope the dog will find his home soon. They think the dog is an interesting dog. But they do not want him to take their cooler again.
+Sara and her mom were going to visit grandma. They had to take a taxi, because their car was broken. Sara liked the taxi, because it was yellow and shiny. She wanted to keep it.
+
+"Mom, can we keep the taxi?" Sara asked.
+
+"No, sweetie, we can't keep the taxi. It belongs to the driver. He needs it to work and earn money," mom said.
+
+"But why?" Sara said. "I like the taxi. It is fast and fun."
+
+"Because the taxi is expensive, honey. We have to pay the driver for taking us to grandma's house. If we keep the taxi, he will be sad and angry," mom said.
+
+Sara did not understand. She thought the taxi was a toy, like her doll or her bike. She did not know about money and work. She pouted and crossed her arms.
+
+The driver heard Sara and smiled. He liked children. He wanted to make Sara happy.
+
+"Hey, little lady, do you want to see something cool?" he said.
+
+Sara looked at him. He had a big hat and a friendly face.
+
+"What is it?" she said.
+
+The driver pressed a button. The taxi made a loud noise and a light flashed on the roof.
+
+"Wow!" Sara said. "What is that?"
+
+"That is the meter, sweetie. It tells me how much the ride costs. See the numbers? They change when we drive," he said.
+
+Sara was curious. She watched the numbers go up and down. She liked the noise and the light. She forgot about keeping the taxi.
+
+"Can I press the button?" she asked.
+
+"Sure, why not? But only once, okay?" he said.
+
+Sara pressed the button. The taxi made the noise and the light flashed again. She giggled.
+
+"Thank you, mister," she said.
+
+"You're welcome, little lady. You're a good passenger," he said.
+
+Sara and her mom arrived at grandma's house. They paid the driver and said goodbye. Sara gave him a hug and a kiss.
+
+"Bye, taxi. You are nice. Maybe I will see you again," she said.
+
+The driver waved and drove away. He was happy. He liked his taxi, too.
+Anna and Ben were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make food with the pots and pans. They also liked to put the dishes in the dishwasher and turn it on.
+
+"Look, Ben, I made a cake!" Anna said, holding a plastic plate with some blocks on it.
+
+"Wow, Anna, that looks yummy!" Ben said, pretending to eat a piece. "Can I help you put the dishes in the dishwasher?"
+
+"Sure, Ben, you can help me. But be careful, the dishwasher is enormous and loud!" Anna said, pointing to the big machine under the sink.
+
+They took the dishes and put them in the dishwasher. They closed the door and pushed the button. The dishwasher started to make noises and move.
+
+"Wow, listen to that!" Ben said, putting his ear to the door. "It sounds like a monster!"
+
+Anna giggled. "No, silly, it's not a monster. It's just the dishwasher. It's moving the water and the soap to make the dishes clean."
+
+"Oh, I see. That's cool!" Ben said, nodding. "But I still think it's enormous!"
+
+They sat on the floor and waited for the dishwasher to finish. They talked about what they would make next. They had a lot of fun playing in the kitchen.
+Lily and Ben were having breakfast with their mom. They liked to eat cereal with milk and honey. Mom gave them each a teaspoon to stir their bowls.
+
+"Mom, can I have more honey?" Lily asked. She liked her cereal very sweet.
+
+"Sure, honey," Mom said. She reached for the honey jar on the table. But when she opened it, she gasped. "Oh no! The honey is gone!"
+
+Lily and Ben looked at the empty jar. They were surprised and sad. Who took their honey?
+
+Mom looked around the kitchen. She saw a mild brown bear sitting on the floor. He had a sticky mouth and paws. He was holding the honey jar and the teaspoon.
+
+"Hey, you!" Mom shouted. "That's our honey! Give it back!"
+
+The bear was scared. He dropped the jar and the teaspoon. He ran to the door and tried to open it. But it was locked. He looked for another way out.
+
+He saw a window above the sink. He climbed on the counter and pushed the window open. He jumped out and ran away.
+
+Lily and Ben watched the bear vanish. They were amazed and curious.
+
+"Mom, did you see that?" Lily said. "A bear took our honey!"
+
+"Yes, I did," Mom said. "That was very naughty of him. He should have asked first."
+
+"Can we have more honey, Mom?" Ben said. "We still want to eat our cereal."
+
+Mom smiled. She got another jar of honey from the cupboard. She gave them more honey and a new teaspoon.
+
+"Here you go, sweeties," she said. "Enjoy your breakfast. And don't worry about the bear. He won't come back."
+
+Lily and Ben stirred their cereal with their teaspoons. They thanked their mom and ate happily. They wondered where the bear went and what he would do next.
+Lily and her mom were going to the airport. They had big bags and a small toy bear. Lily was happy to see the planes and the people. She wanted to fly in the sky.
+
+"Mom, can I ring the bell?" Lily asked. She saw a shiny bell on a desk. It looked fun to ring.
+
+"No, Lily, that bell is not for us. It is for the people who work here. They ring it when they need help. Come on, we have to find our gate." Mom said. She took Lily's hand and walked away.
+
+Lily was sad. She wanted to ring the bell. She thought it would make a loud and pretty sound. She looked back at the bell. It was still shiny and tempting.
+
+When mom was busy checking the tickets, Lily let go of her hand. She ran back to the desk. She reached for the bell. She rang it hard.
+
+Ding! Ding! Ding!
+
+The bell was very loud. It made everyone look at Lily. Some people smiled. Some people frowned. Some people shouted.
+
+"What are you doing, little girl? That bell is for emergencies only! You can't just ring it for fun!" A man in a blue suit said. He was angry. He worked at the desk.
+
+Lily was scared. She did not know she did something bad. She dropped the bell and started to cry.
+
+"Mom! Mom!" She called.
+
+Mom heard Lily's cry. She saw her at the desk. She saw the man in the blue suit. She ran to Lily and hugged her.
+
+"I'm sorry, sir. She didn't mean to cause trouble. She was curious about the bell. She's only three years old." Mom said. She was sorry too.
+
+The man in the blue suit sighed. He was not so angry anymore. He saw that Lily was sorry too.
+
+"It's okay, ma'am. I understand. Kids are curious. But please, keep an eye on her. This is a busy and noisy place. She could get lost or hurt." He said. He was kind.
+
+Mom nodded. She thanked the man. She took Lily's hand and the toy bear. She walked to the gate. She told Lily not to run away again. She told Lily to be careful and listen.
+
+Lily nodded. She said sorry to the man. She said sorry to mom. She hugged the toy bear. She learned a lesson. She did not want to ring the bell anymore. She wanted to fly in the sky.
+One day, Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to look for bugs and put them in a jar. They found a big green bug with wings and a long nose. They were very happy and put it in the jar.
+
+But then, their dog Spot came and knocked over the jar. The bug flew away and Spot ran after it. Tom and Lily were sad and angry. They wanted their bug back.
+
+They looked for another bug to replace the one they lost. They saw a small black bug with spots and a hard shell. They thought it was cute and put it in the jar. They were careful not to let Spot near it.
+
+But then, they heard a loud buzz. The big green bug came back. It was angry and wanted to fight the small black bug. It flew around the jar and tried to get in. The small black bug was scared and hid under a leaf.
+
+Tom and Lily were alert and saw what was happening. They did not want the bugs to hurt each other. They opened the jar and let the small black bug out. It ran away and hid under a rock. They also let the big green bug out. It flew away and left them alone.
+
+Tom and Lily were glad that the bugs were safe. They decided not to catch any more bugs. They said sorry to the bugs and to Spot. They played with Spot instead. They had fun and were happy.
+Lily loved to read books about animals. She wanted to be a veterinarian when she grew up. She liked to learn how to help sick and hurt animals.
+
+One day, she found a book about a tough dog named Max. Max was a police dog who helped catch bad people. He was brave and smart and loyal. Lily read the book with her mom.
+
+"Wow, Max is a hero!" Lily said. "He saved his partner from a robber. He got a medal and a treat."
+
+"Yes, he is," Mom said. "But he also got hurt. He had a bullet in his leg. He needed a veterinarian to fix him."
+
+"Did the veterinarian help him?" Lily asked.
+
+"Of course," Mom said. "The veterinarian was very kind and gentle. She gave Max medicine and stitches. She made him feel better. She was a hero too."
+
+Lily smiled. She wanted to be like the veterinarian. She wanted to help animals like Max. She hugged the book and said, "Maybe I can be a hero too."
+Anna and Ben went to the farm with their mom and dad. They saw many animals, like cows, pigs, sheep and chickens. They also saw a big field with red and green fruits. Mom said they were apples and pears, and they could pick some to take home.
+
+Anna and Ben were very happy. They ran to the field and each got a basket. They started to pick the fruits that looked good and juicy. They filled their baskets with apples and pears of different sizes and colors.
+
+But then, Ben saw a very big and shiny apple on a high branch. He wanted to pick it, but he could not reach it. He asked Anna to help him, but she was too busy picking her own fruits. He asked mom and dad, but they were too far away. He felt angry and sad.
+
+He decided to climb the tree and get the apple by himself. He put his basket down and grabbed the trunk. He climbed up slowly and carefully, until he was close to the apple. He stretched his arm and tried to pick it, but it was still too high. He jumped and grabbed it, but he lost his balance and fell down.
+
+He landed on his basket and crushed all his fruits. He felt a sharp pain in his arm and his head. He started to cry and shout. "Ow, ow, ow! Help, help, help!"
+
+Mom and dad heard his shout and ran to him. They saw him lying on the ground, with his basket and fruits smashed. They felt worried and sorry. They picked him up and hugged him. They checked his arm and his head, and saw that he had some bruises and scratches, but nothing serious.
+
+They said to him, "Ben, are you okay? What happened? Why did you climb the tree?"
+
+Ben said, "I wanted to pick the big apple. It was so shiny and pretty. I thought it was the best apple in the world."
+
+Mom and dad said, "Ben, we know you like apples, but you should not climb the tree. It was too high and dangerous. You could have hurt yourself badly. And you ruined all your fruits. They were expensive and tasty. You should have been happy with what you had."
+
+Ben said, "I'm sorry, mom and dad. I was greedy and foolish. I did not think about the risk and the waste. I learned my lesson. Can you forgive me?"
+
+Mom and dad said, "Of course, we forgive you, Ben. We love you, no matter what. But next time, please be careful and grateful. And listen to us, when we tell you something."
+
+Ben said, "I will, mom and dad. I love you, too. And I love Anna, too. Can I share her fruits?"
+
+Anna said, "Yes, you can, Ben. I'm glad you're okay. But don't climb the tree again, okay?"
+
+Ben said, "Okay, Anna. Thank you for sharing. You're a good sister."
+
+They all smiled and hugged. They left the farm and went home. They ate some of the fruits and saved some for later. They were delicious and sweet. They were happy and thankful.
+Lily and Tom are twins. They like to play outside in the mud. They make mud pies and mud castles. They laugh and have fun.
+
+But Mom does not like mud. She says it is filthy and makes them sick. She tells them to come inside and take a bath. She says they have to lay down for a nap after that.
+
+Lily and Tom do not want to take a bath. They do not want to lay down for a nap. They want to play more. They run away from Mom and hide behind the big tree.
+
+"Mom will not find us here," Lily says.
+
+"Yes, she will," Tom says. "She always finds us. And she will be angry."
+
+"Then we have to be quiet," Lily says. "And stay here until she goes away."
+
+They sit behind the tree and wait. They hear Mom calling their names. They do not answer. They hope she will give up and leave them alone.
+
+But Mom does not give up. She knows where they are. She walks around the tree and sees them. They look at her with guilty eyes.
+
+"There you are, you filthy little monkeys," Mom says. "You can't hide from me. Come on, it's time for a bath and a nap. No more arguments."
+
+Lily and Tom sigh. They know they have to obey Mom. They follow her to the house. They do not like baths and naps. But they love Mom. And they know she loves them too.
+Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big slide. Tom wants to go on the slide. Sue is scared.
+
+"Come on, Sue. The slide is fun. You can go with me," Tom tells Sue.
+
+"No, Tom. The slide is too high. I don't want to go," Sue tells Tom.
+
+Tom sees a cat under the slide. The cat is black and white. It is clean and soft. Tom likes cats.
+
+"Look, Sue. There is a cat under the slide. Do you like cats?" Tom tells Sue.
+
+Sue looks at the cat. She likes cats too. She smiles.
+
+"Yes, Tom. I like cats. The cat is cute. Can we pet the cat?" Sue tells Tom.
+
+Tom nods. He holds Sue's hand. They go under the slide. They pet the cat. The cat purrs. Tom and Sue are happy. They forget about the slide. They play with the cat. They are friends.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the living room. They liked to pretend they were grown-ups. They had a sofa, a table, and some old things from the garage. One of the things was an ashtray. It was round and shiny and had a picture of a flower on it.
+
+"Look, Ben, I have an ashtray," Lily said. "Do you want to smoke with me?"
+
+Ben shook his head. He did not like smoking. He had seen his grandpa smoke and he coughed a lot. He said smoking was bad for you.
+
+"No, thank you, Lily. Smoking is yucky. I don't want to smoke," Ben said.
+
+Lily shrugged. She did not really want to smoke either. She just wanted to act like a grown-up. She put the ashtray on the table and looked for something else to play with.
+
+"Hey, Ben, do you want to sit on the sofa with me?" Lily asked. "It is very comfortable. We can read a book or watch TV."
+
+Ben smiled. He liked sitting on the sofa. It was soft and cozy and had a lot of pillows. He nodded and walked over to the sofa.
+
+"Okay, Lily. I want to sit on the sofa with you. That sounds fun," Ben said.
+
+Lily and Ben sat on the sofa and snuggled together. They picked up a book and looked at the pictures. They felt happy and warm. They did not need to smoke to be grown-ups. They just needed to be themselves.
+Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play with blocks and cars. One day, they find a big box of purple blocks. They are very happy. They want to make a network with the blocks. A network is when you connect many things together.
+
+They start to build the network on the floor. They make long lines and curves and loops. They have fun. But then, they run out of blocks. They look at the network. It is not finished. They need more blocks.
+
+"Where can we get more blocks?" Sara asks.
+
+"I know!" Ben says. "We can take some from the other kids. They don't need them."
+
+He runs to the other side of the room. He sees Lily and Tom playing with red blocks. He grabs some of their blocks and runs back to Sara.
+
+"Look, I got more blocks!" he says.
+
+But Lily and Tom are not happy. They see Ben take their blocks. They follow him. They are angry.
+
+"Hey, give us back our blocks!" Lily shouts.
+
+"No, they are ours now!" Ben says.
+
+He puts the red blocks on the network. They don't match the purple blocks. The network looks messy.
+
+Sara sees Lily and Tom. She sees the red blocks. She does not like what Ben did. She thinks it is not nice. She wants to be nice.
+
+She takes the red blocks off the network. She gives them back to Lily and Tom.
+
+"Sorry, Ben took your blocks. Here, you can have them back." she says.
+
+Lily and Tom smile. They are happy. They say thank you to Sara. They ask her if she wants to play with them.
+
+Sara looks at Ben. Ben is not happy. He is mad. He wants the red blocks. He thinks Sara is silly.
+
+He says to Sara, "Why did you do that? You are not my friend anymore. You are their friend. I don't want to play with you."
+
+He turns away from Sara. He tries to finish the network by himself. But he can't. He needs more blocks. He is sad.
+
+Sara feels bad. She does not want to lose Ben as a friend. She likes him. She wants to play with him. She wants to make him happy.
+
+She thinks of an idea. She sees a big jar of stickers on the shelf. She takes the jar. She opens it. She sees many stickers of different shapes and colors. She sees some stickers that look like kisses. They are pink and shiny.
+
+She takes some kiss stickers. She goes to Ben. She says to him, "Ben, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make you mad. I just wanted to be nice to Lily and Tom. You are still my friend. I like you. Look, I have something for you."
+
+She shows him the kiss stickers. She puts one on his cheek. She says, "This is a kiss. It means I like you. Do you want to play with me?"
+
+Ben feels the sticker on his cheek. He feels warm and happy. He sees Sara's smile. He likes her too. He says, "Yes, I want to play with you. Thank you for the kiss. It is nice. Can I give you one too?"
+
+He takes a kiss sticker. He puts it on Sara's cheek. He says, "This is a kiss. It means I like you too. You are my friend. Let's play together."
+
+They hug. They are happy. They go back to the network. They use the stickers to decorate the network. They make it colorful and pretty. They have fun. They share the blocks and the stickers with Lily and Tom. They all play together. They are friends. The end.
+Lily and Max were going on vacation with Mom and Dad. They were very excited to see the big lake and the green trees. They packed their bags with clothes, toys, and snacks. They got in the car and drove for a long time.
+
+"Are we there yet?" Lily asked.
+
+"Soon, honey, soon," Mom said.
+
+Max was restless. He did not like sitting still. He kicked his legs and played with his toy car. He made loud noises with his mouth.
+
+"Vroom, vroom, crash, boom!"
+
+"Max, please be quiet," Dad said. "You are bothering your sister and me."
+
+"But I'm bored," Max said.
+
+"Look out the window, there are so many things to see," Mom said.
+
+Lily looked out the window. She saw cows, horses, and birds. She liked animals. She pointed at them and said their names.
+
+"Cow, horse, bird!"
+
+Max did not care about animals. He wanted to play. He threw his toy car at Lily.
+
+"Ow, that hurt!" Lily cried.
+
+"Max, that was not nice," Mom said. "Say sorry to your sister."
+
+"Sorry, Lily," Max said, but he did not mean it.
+
+Lily was angry. She grabbed Max's toy car and threw it out the window.
+
+"Hey, that's mine!" Max shouted.
+
+"Stop it, both of you," Dad said. "We are almost there. Behave yourselves or you will be in trouble."
+
+Lily and Max stopped fighting. They felt bad for what they did. They looked out the window and saw the big lake and the green trees. They smiled.
+
+"Wow, it's beautiful," Lily said.
+
+"Yeah, it is," Max said.
+
+They arrived at the cabin. They got out of the car and ran to the door. They wanted to see inside.
+
+"Wait, wait, we have to unpack first," Mom said.
+
+"Unpack?" Lily and Max said.
+
+"Yes, unpack. We have to take our bags and put our things in the right places," Mom said.
+
+Lily and Max did not want to unpack. They wanted to explore. They wanted to see the lake and the trees. They wanted to have fun.
+
+"Can we unpack later?" Lily asked.
+
+"Please, Mom, please," Max begged.
+
+Mom looked at Dad. Dad nodded.
+
+"Okay, okay, you can unpack later. But only for a little while. Then you have to come back and help us," Mom said.
+
+"Yay, thank you, Mom, thank you, Dad," Lily and Max said.
+
+They hugged their parents and ran to the lake. They saw ducks, fish, and frogs. They heard birds, crickets, and wind. They felt happy, free, and alive.
+
+They forgot about their bags, their toys, and their snacks. They forgot about their fight, their boredom, and their trouble. They only remembered their vacation, their adventure, and their joy.
+Sara and Ben were playing in the snow. They made a big igloo with blocks of snow. They wanted to go inside and pretend they were Eskimos.
+
+"Let's go in our igloo, Ben!" Sara said.
+
+"OK, Sara, but first I want to splash some snow on you!" Ben said. He picked up a handful of snow and threw it at Sara.
+
+"Hey, that's not nice, Ben!" Sara said. She felt cold and wet. She picked up some snow and threw it back at Ben.
+
+They started a snowball fight. They threw snow at each other and laughed. They forgot about their igloo.
+
+But then, a big dog came by. He saw the igloo and thought it was a toy. He ran towards it and jumped on it. He broke the igloo with his paws and his teeth. He made a big mess.
+
+Sara and Ben stopped throwing snow. They saw their igloo was ruined. They felt sad and angry.
+
+"Look what he did to our igloo, Sara!" Ben said.
+
+"That's our igloo, you bad dog!" Sara said. They shouted at the dog and tried to chase him away.
+
+But the dog did not listen. He wagged his tail and licked their faces. He thought they were playing with him. He found a snowball and brought it to them. He wanted them to throw it for him.
+
+Sara and Ben looked at the dog. He was big and fluffy and cute. He had a collar with a tag. It said his name was Spot and he belonged to Mrs. Jones, their neighbor.
+
+"Maybe he's not so bad, Ben," Sara said. "Maybe he just wanted to have fun with us."
+
+"Yeah, maybe you're right, Sara," Ben said. "But he still broke our igloo."
+
+They decided to forgive the dog. They petted him and played with him. They threw the snowball for him and he fetched it. He barked and wagged his tail.
+
+They were having fun again. They forgot about their igloo.
+
+Then, Mrs. Jones came by. She saw the dog and the children. She saw the broken igloo and the snow everywhere.
+
+"Oh, I'm so sorry, children," she said. "Spot ran away from me and I couldn't find him. He must have seen your igloo and thought it was a toy. He loves to play with snow. He didn't mean to ruin your igloo."
+
+"That's OK, Mrs. Jones," Sara said. "We're not mad at Spot. He's a good dog. He just wanted to play with us."
+
+"Yes, he's a good dog," Ben said. "But he needs to learn to be careful with other people's things."
+
+Mrs. Jones nodded. She thanked the children for being kind to Spot. She said she would help them rebuild their igloo. She said she had some cookies and hot chocolate at her house. She invited them to come over and have a delicious treat.
+
+Sara and Ben agreed. They followed Mrs. Jones and Spot to her house. They had cookies and hot chocolate. They were warm and happy.
+
+They learned a lesson that day. They learned that sometimes accidents happen. They learned that sometimes people and animals make mistakes. They learned that it's important to forgive and to share. They learned that playing with friends is more fun than fighting with them. They learned that snow can be fun, but cookies and hot chocolate are delicious.
+Sara loved to ride her bike. She rode it every day with her dad. They went to the park, the store, and the library. Sara liked to see new things and meet new people.
+
+One day, Sara saw a big peach tree in a yard. She stopped her bike and pointed. "Dad, look! Peaches! Can we have some?" she asked.
+
+Dad shook his head. "No, Sara. Those are not our peaches. They belong to someone else. We have to ask before we take anything. And besides, that yard is dangerous. There is a big dog that barks and bites. We have to stay away."
+
+Sara nodded. She did not want to make the dog angry. She did not want to get hurt. She rode on with her dad. But she still looked at the peaches. They were so big and juicy. She wondered how they tasted.
+
+The next day, Sara and her dad rode by the peach tree again. Dad was talking on his phone. He did not see Sara stop her bike. She saw a peach that was low and ripe. She reached out to grab it. She thought no one would notice.
+
+But the dog noticed. He ran out of his house and barked loudly. He saw Sara and her bike. He did not like strangers. He wanted to protect his peaches. He jumped at Sara and bit her leg.
+
+Sara screamed. She dropped the peach and fell off her bike. She was scared and hurt. Dad heard her and ran to her. He picked her up and hugged her. He shooed the dog away. He called for help.
+
+"I'm sorry, Dad. I was bad. I took a peach. I made the dog mad," Sara sobbed.
+
+Dad kissed her cheek. "It's okay, Sara. You made a mistake. You learned a lesson. Peaches are not worth getting bitten. You have to be careful and listen. I love you, Sara. You are my sweet peach."
+Anna and Ben like to play in the sand. They have a spade and a bucket. They dig and make a big hole. They fill the bucket with sand and make a hill. They are happy.
+
+But then the sky gets dark and it starts to rain. The rain makes the sand wet and the hill falls down. The hole fills with water. Anna and Ben are sad.
+
+They run to their mom and dad, who are under an umbrella. Mom and dad hug them and say, "Don't be sad. It's just rain. It will stop soon. Then you can play again."
+
+Anna and Ben look at the sky and guess when the rain will stop. They say, "Maybe in five minutes. Maybe in ten minutes. Maybe in twenty minutes."
+
+They wait and watch the rain. They see a rainbow. They smile and say, "Look, a rainbow! The rain is going away. Let's go back to the sand and make a new hill." They take their spade and bucket and run to the sand. They are happy again.
+Tim and Mia like to play in the park. They like to slide, swing, and run. But their favorite thing is to zip on the zip line. The zip line is a long rope with a seat. They can sit on the seat and zip from one tree to another.
+
+One day, they go to the park and see a big hole under the zip line. The hole is dark and deep. They wonder what is in the hole. They are curious and brave. They decide to zip over the hole and look inside.
+
+They take turns to zip over the hole. Tim goes first. He zips fast and sees something shiny in the hole. He wants to get it, but he can't stop. He zips to the other tree and tells Mia what he saw. Mia goes next. She zips slower and sees something furry in the hole. She wants to touch it, but she can't reach. She zips to the other tree and tells Tim what she saw.
+
+They are both excited and puzzled. They want to know more about the hole. They think of a plan. They zip together, holding hands. They zip very slow and very low. They look into the hole and see a rare treasure. It is a big chest full of gold and jewels. And it is guarded by a rare animal. It is a fluffy unicorn with a horn.

+Tim and Mia are amazed and happy. They have found a rare and magical hole. They zip back to the first tree and smile at each other. They decide to keep the hole a secret. They zip over the hole again and again, and wave at the unicorn. They have a lot of fun. They love to zip.
+Anna and Ben like to play chess with their dad. Chess is a game with black and white pieces that move on a board. Anna and Ben have their own pieces that they can pull and push on the board. They try to catch the king piece of their dad.
+
+One day, Anna and Ben are playing chess with their dad in the living room. Anna has a queen piece that is very strong and can move in many ways. Ben has a knight piece that can jump over other pieces. They work together to trap their dad's king piece.
+
+But their dad is very smart and knows how to escape. He moves his king piece to a safe spot. He also has a rook piece that can move very far in a straight line. He uses his rook piece to take Anna's queen piece and Ben's knight piece.
+
+Anna and Ben are sad. They have lost their best pieces. They think they cannot win the game. But they do not give up. They still have some pieces left. They look at the board and think of a new plan.
+
+They see that their dad's king piece is near the edge of the board. They also see that their dad's rook piece is far away from his king piece. They have an idea. They use their other pieces to block the way of their dad's rook piece. Then they move their king piece and their bishop piece closer to their dad's king piece.
+
+They make a trap for their dad's king piece. Their king piece and their bishop piece can move in a diagonal line. They move them in a graceful way, like dancers. They make their dad's king piece have no place to go. They say "checkmate" and smile.
+
+Their dad is surprised and proud. He claps his hands and hugs them. He says they are very clever and good at chess. He says they have won the game. Anna and Ben are happy. They love to play chess with their dad.
+Tom has a big kangaroo. He loves his kangaroo very much. He likes to feed him grass and carrots. He likes to hop with him in the yard. He likes to hug him and say, "You are my best friend."
+
+One day, a man comes to Tom's house. He knocks on the door and says, "Hello, I am from the zoo. I am looking for a kangaroo. Do you have one?"
+
+Tom is scared. He does not want to lose his kangaroo. He says, "No, I do not have a kangaroo. Go away!"
+
+The man says, "But I saw a kangaroo in your yard. He is very big and brown. He is not a pet. He belongs to the zoo. He escaped from his cage. I have to take him back."
+
+Tom is sad. He runs to his kangaroo and holds him tight. He says, "Please do not take him. He is my kangaroo. I own him. He is happy here. He does not like the zoo."
+
+The man says, "I am sorry, but he is not your kangaroo. He is a wild animal. He needs to be with other kangaroos. He needs to have a lot of space. He is not safe here. He could hurt you or someone else. You have to let him go."
+
+Tom cries. He does not want to let him go. He says, "But I love him. He loves me. He is my best friend."
+
+The man says, "I know you love him. But you have to do what is best for him. He will be glad to see his friends at the zoo. He will be glad to have a big home. He will remember you and thank you for taking care of him. You can come and visit him anytime. You can be his friend from afar."
+
+Tom thinks for a while. He does not want to be selfish. He wants his kangaroo to be happy. He says, "Okay, I will let him go. But can I say goodbye to him?"
+
+The man says, "Of course you can. You are a good boy. You are a good friend."
+
+Tom kisses his kangaroo and says, "Goodbye, my kangaroo. I will miss you. I will come and see you. I will always love you."
+
+The kangaroo licks Tom's face and says, "Goodbye, my Tom. I will miss you. I will see you. I will always love you."
+
+The man puts the kangaroo in his truck and drives away. Tom waves to his kangaroo and says, "Be happy, my kangaroo. Be glad."
+
+The end.
+Tim and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they find a coin on the ground. It is shiny and round.
+
+"Look, a coin!" Tim says. "We can buy candy with it!"
+
+Mia nods. She likes candy. They march to the store. They hold hands and sing a song. They are happy.
+
+At the store, they see a big jar. It is full of candy. The candy is high. They cannot reach it.
+
+"Excuse me, sir," Tim says to the man at the counter. "Can we have some candy, please? We have a coin."
+
+The man smiles. He takes the coin and gives them two lollipops. They are red and sweet.
+
+"Thank you, sir," Mia says. "You are very nice."
+
+They march back to the park. They lick their lollipops. They share with a bird and a squirrel. They are happy.
+Tom is a bird. He likes to fly in the sky. He sees many things when he flies. He sees trees, cars, houses, and people. He likes to sing to them.
+
+One day, he sees a blue roof. He thinks it is pretty. He wants to see it closer. He flies to the blue roof. He lands on it. He looks around. He sees a window. He sees a girl inside. She is playing with a doll.
+
+The girl sees Tom. She smiles. She likes birds. She opens the window. She says hello to Tom. She asks him his name. Tom sings to her. She laughs. She gives him a cracker. Tom eats it. He likes it. He thanks her.
+
+Tom and the girl become friends. They talk and play. Tom likes the blue roof. He likes the girl. He flies to the blue roof every day. He is happy.
+Anna and Ben were playing in the living room. They liked to pretend they were pirates and look for treasure. Anna had a map and Ben had a sword. They searched under the sofa, behind the curtains and in the closet. They found some coins, a necklace and a hat.
+
+"Look, Ben, I found a lamp!" Anna said, holding a shiny metal lamp. "Maybe it has a magic genie inside!"
+
+"Let me see!" Ben said, grabbing the lamp from Anna. He rubbed it hard, hoping for a wish.
+
+But nothing happened. No smoke, no genie, no wish. Ben was disappointed. He threw the lamp on the floor.
+
+"Hey, don't do that!" Anna said, angry. "That's not nice!"
+
+But it was too late. The lamp hit the floor and broke. The glass shattered and the metal bent. The lamp was ruined.
+
+"Oh no!" Ben said, scared. "Mom will be mad!"
+
+Just then, they heard the door open. It was Mom, coming home from work. She saw the mess in the living room and the broken lamp.
+
+"What happened here?" Mom asked, shocked. "Who broke the lamp?"
+
+Anna and Ben looked at each other. They were embarrassed. They knew they had done something bad. They knew the lamp was poor and Mom had saved money to buy it. They knew they had to say sorry.
+
+"It was me, Mom," Ben said, bravely. "I broke the lamp. I'm sorry."
+
+Mom sighed. She was upset, but she was also proud of Ben for telling the truth. She hugged him and Anna.
+
+"Thank you for being honest, Ben," Mom said. "But you have to be more careful with things. The lamp was poor and it was a gift from Grandma. You have to respect it."
+
+"I know, Mom," Ben said, sadly. "I won't do it again."
+
+Mom smiled. She knew Ben and Anna were good kids. She knew they had learned a lesson. She knew they loved her and Grandma.
+
+She took them to the kitchen and gave them some cookies. She told them a story about Grandma and the lamp. She told them how Grandma had found the lamp in a flea market and how she had polished it and made it shine. She told them how Grandma had given it to her when she moved to a new house. She told them how much the lamp meant to her.
+
+Anna and Ben listened to the story. They felt sorry for breaking the lamp. They felt happy for hearing about Grandma. They felt loved by Mom.
+
+They hugged Mom and said they loved her too. They said they loved Grandma too. They said they were sorry for breaking the lamp.
+
+Mom kissed them and said it was okay. She said she loved them too. She said she forgave them for breaking the lamp.
+
+She said they could still play pirates, but they had to be more careful. She said they could use a flashlight instead of a lamp. She said she would try to fix the lamp or buy a new one.
+
+Anna and Ben agreed. They thanked Mom for the cookies and the story. They took the flashlight and went back to the living room. They continued to play pirates and look for treasure. They were careful not to break anything else. They were happy.
+Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play outside in the sun. One day, they saw a big, white cloud in the sky. It looked like a fluffy sheep.
+
+"Look, Ben, a sheep cloud!" Lily said, pointing up.
+
+"Wow, it is a sheep cloud!" Ben said, smiling. "Do you think it is friendly?"
+
+"Let's find out!" Lily said. She took Ben's hand and they started to skip towards the cloud. They skipped and skipped, faster and faster, until they felt the cloud touch their hair.
+
+"Hello, sheep cloud!" Lily said. "We are Lily and Ben. Can we be your friends?"
+
+The cloud did not say anything, but it made a soft sound, like a breeze. It tickled their faces and made them giggle.
+
+"I think it likes us!" Ben said. "It is a friendly sheep cloud!"
+
+They played with the cloud for a long time, making shapes and stories with it. They had so much fun, they did not notice the sun going down.
+
+"Uh-oh, it is getting dark!" Lily said. "We have to go home now. Bye-bye, sheep cloud! Thank you for playing with us!"
+
+"Bye-bye, sheep cloud!" Ben said. "We will see you again soon!"
+
+They waved to the cloud and skipped back to their houses. They hugged each other and said good night. They dreamed of the friendly sheep cloud and the next day's adventure.
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big slide at the park. They ran to the slide and took turns to go down. It was fun and fast.
+
+"Look, there is a tunnel next to the slide!" Lily said. "Let's go inside and see what is there."
+
+Tom was not sure. He thought the tunnel looked dark and scary. He did not want to go inside. But he did not want to make Lily sad. So he followed her into the tunnel.
+
+Inside the tunnel, it was very dark. They could not see anything. They heard strange noises. They felt cold and wet. They were scared.
+
+"Tom, I don't like this. Let's go back!" Lily said.
+
+"Me too. Let's go back!" Tom said.
+
+They tried to find the way back, but they were lost. They cried and shouted for help. They wished they had not gone into the tunnel.
+
+After a while, they noticed a light at the end of the tunnel. It was their mom and dad. They had heard their cries and came to find them. They hugged them and took them out of the tunnel.
+
+"Are you okay, Tom and Lily?" Mom asked.
+
+"Yes, Mom. We are sorry. We went into the tunnel and got scared and lost." Tom said.
+
+"We learned our lesson. We will not go into scary places again." Lily said.
+
+Mom and Dad smiled and kissed them. They were glad they were safe.
+
+"That's good, Tom and Lily. You should always be careful and listen to your feelings. If something looks scary, it might be dangerous. It is better to stay away from it and play somewhere else." Mom said.
+
+"Yes, Mom. We understand. Thank you for finding us." Tom and Lily said.
+
+They went back to the slide and played some more. They had fun and were happy. They never went into the tunnel again.
+Mia and Ben were playing on the beach. They liked to dig in the sand and look for shells. Mia saw something shiny and red in the water. She ran to see what it was.
+
+"Look, Ben, look!" she shouted. "It's a crab!"
+
+Ben followed her and saw the crab too. It had big claws and small eyes. It moved slowly on the rocks.
+
+"Can we touch it?" Ben asked.
+
+Mia shook her head. "No, no, no. Crabs can pinch. They are independent. They don't like to be bothered."
+
+She pointed at the crab with her finger. "See, it's hiding under that rock. It wants to be alone."
+
+Ben nodded. He understood. He didn't want to be pinched by the crab. He wanted to be independent too.
+
+"Let's leave it alone then," he said. "Let's find something else to play with."
+
+Mia agreed. They waved goodbye to the crab and went back to the sand. They found a starfish and a seashell. They were happy and independent. They played until the sun went down.
+Ben and Mia were excited. They were going to the lake with Dad. Dad had a big kayak. It was red and yellow. It could fit three people.
+
+"Can we go now, Dad?" Ben asked.
+
+"Soon, buddy. We need to put on our life jackets first. Safety first, right?" Dad said.
+
+"Yes, Dad. Safety first," Mia said. She liked her life jacket. It was pink and had a flower on it.
+
+Dad helped them put on their life jackets. Then he carried the kayak to the water. He put it in the lake. He told Ben and Mia to sit in the kayak. He sat behind them.
+
+"Are you ready, kids?" Dad asked.
+
+"Yes, Dad!" Ben and Mia said.
+
+"OK, let's go!" Dad said. He used a paddle to move the kayak. The kayak went fast. The water splashed. The wind blew. The sun shone.
+
+Ben and Mia laughed. They saw ducks, fish, and frogs. They told Dad what they saw.
+
+"Look, Dad, a duck!" Ben said.
+
+"Quack, quack!" Mia said.
+
+"Look, Dad, a fish!" Mia said.
+
+"Blub, blub!" Ben said.
+
+"Look, Dad, a frog!" Ben said.
+
+"Ribbit, ribbit!" Mia said.
+
+Dad smiled. He was happy. He loved his kids. He loved the lake. He loved the kayak. He told Ben and Mia he loved them.
+
+"I love you, too, Dad!" Ben and Mia said.
+
+They had a fun day. They were excited. They were in a kayak.
+Lily and Ben were playing with their toys on the table. Lily had a doll and Ben had a car. They were having fun until Ben wanted to hold Lily's doll.
+
+"Can I hold your doll?" Ben asked.
+
+"No, it's mine!" Lily said. She hugged her doll tight.
+
+"Please, just for a little bit!" Ben begged.
+
+"No, go away!" Lily shouted. She was anxious that Ben would take her doll.
+
+Ben was angry. He grabbed Lily's doll and ran away. Lily cried and chased him.
+
+"Give it back, give it back!" Lily yelled.
+
+"No, it's mine now!" Ben said. He ran into the living room.
+
+Lily and Ben bumped into their mom. She saw them fighting over the doll.
+
+"What's going on here?" Mom asked.
+
+"Ben took my doll!" Lily said.
+
+"Lily won't let me hold her doll!" Ben said.
+
+Mom sighed. She took the doll from Ben and gave it back to Lily.
+
+"Ben, you can't take Lily's doll without asking. That's not nice," Mom said.
+
+"But I asked and she said no!" Ben said.
+
+"Lily, you can't be selfish with your toys. You have to share sometimes," Mom said.
+
+"But it's my doll!" Lily said.
+
+Mom smiled. She had an idea.
+
+"Why don't you both hold the doll together? Then you can both play with it," Mom said.
+
+She showed them how to hold the doll with one hand each.
+
+Lily and Ben looked at each other. They felt sorry for being mean.
+
+"Okay, let's try," Lily said.
+
+"Okay, me too," Ben said.
+
+They held the doll together and smiled.
+
+"Thank you, Mom," they said.
+
+Mom hugged them and kissed them.
+
+"You're welcome, my loves. Now, why don't you play nicely on the table?" Mom said.
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They went back to the table with their toys. They played together and shared. They were happy.
+Lily and Sam love to watch movies with popcorn. They have a big bowl of popcorn and a movie they like. But they have a problem. They do not have a place to sit. The couch is full of toys and books and clothes. The floor is messy too. They need to organize.
+
+Lily and Sam start to pick up the things on the couch and put them in a box. They find some of their favorite toys and books. They want to play with them and read them. But they remember they want to watch the movie too. They put them in the box and close the lid.
+
+They move the box to the corner and make room on the couch. They put the popcorn on the table and sit down. They are happy. They turn on the movie and enjoy the popcorn. They laugh and smile.
+
+But then something bad happens. The popcorn falls off the table and spills on the floor. Lily and Sam are upset. They do not have any more popcorn. They do not want to watch the movie without popcorn. They cry and whine.
+
+Mom hears them and comes to see what is wrong. She sees the popcorn on the floor and the movie on the screen. She sees the box in the corner and the couch. She understands. She hugs Lily and Sam and tells them it is okay. She helps them clean up the popcorn and makes more. She joins them on the couch and watches the movie with them. They are happy again. They thank Mom and share the popcorn. They finish the movie and have fun.
+Anna and Ben went to the park with Mom. They saw a big pond with many ducks and swans. Anna liked the swans. They had long necks and white feathers. She wanted to feed them some bread.
+
+"Mom, can I give bread to the swans?" Anna asked.
+
+"Sure, but be careful. Swans can bite if they are angry," Mom said.
+
+Anna took a piece of bread from Mom and walked to the edge of the pond. She saw a new swan. It was smaller than the others and had gray feathers. It looked scared and lonely.
+
+"Hello, little swan. Do you want some bread?" Anna said softly.
+
+The new swan looked at Anna and nodded. It swam closer to her and took the bread from her hand. It made a happy sound. Anna smiled.
+
+"Look, Mom, the new swan likes me. It signed to me," Anna said.
+
+Mom and Ben came to see the new swan. They were happy for Anna.
+
+"You are very kind, Anna. You made a new friend," Mom said.
+
+Anna nodded. She gave the new swan another piece of bread. The new swan signed to her again. Anna felt happy too.
+Sara and Lily were playing with their dolls in the living room. They liked to dress them up in different clothes and pretend they were going to a party. Sara had a pink dress and Lily had a blue dress for their dolls.
+
+"Look, my doll is so pretty in her pink dress!" Sara said. "She is the princess of the party!"
+
+"My doll is prettier in her blue dress!" Lily said. "She is the fairy of the party!"
+
+They started to argue about whose doll was prettier. They raised their voices and made a lot of noise.
+
+"Girls, girls, pause!" Mom said, coming into the living room. "Why are you shouting so loud? You are making a mess with your dolls and your clothes!"
+
+"Sorry, Mom," Sara and Lily said. "We were just playing."
+
+Mom smiled and hugged them. "I know you were playing, but you don't have to be so loud. And you don't have to fight over your dolls. They are both pretty in their own way. Why don't you share your dresses and try different combinations?"
+
+Sara and Lily thought that was a good idea. They apologized to each other and swapped their dresses. They found out that their dolls looked nice in both colors. They continued to play, but more quietly and happily. Mom was glad to see them get along. She gave them some cookies and milk as a treat.
+Tim and Sam were brothers. They liked to play in the yard. But they did not like to share. They always quarreled over toys and games.
+
+One day, they found a big hole in the fence. They wanted to see what was on the other side. Tim said, "I go first. It is my turn." Sam said, "No, I go first. You always go first." They pushed and pulled and shouted.
+
+They did not see the big dog that lived on the other side. The dog was bald and mean. It did not like strangers. It heard the noise and ran to the hole. It saw Tim and Sam and barked loudly.
+
+Tim and Sam were scared. They tried to run away. But the dog was faster. It bit Tim on the leg and Sam on the arm. They cried and bled. The dog did not stop.
+
+Their mom heard their cries and came to the yard. She saw the dog and the hole and the blood. She was angry and sad. She called for help and took Tim and Sam to the hospital. They had to get stitches and shots. They learned a hard lesson. They wished they had not quarreled.
+Tom and Lily were friends who liked to play outside. They had a big sidewalk where they could draw with chalk. Tom had many colors of chalk, but Lily only had one. She had a yellow chalk that was very small.
+
+One day, Lily asked Tom, "Can you lend me some chalk? My yellow chalk is almost gone."
+
+Tom looked at his chalks and said, "No, these are mine. You have to find your own chalk."
+
+Lily felt sad and angry. She said, "That is not nice, Tom. Friends share their things. You are a bad friend."
+
+Tom did not care. He said, "I don't want to share. Go away, Lily."
+
+Lily went away and looked for some chalk. She found a big white chalk in the grass. She was happy and started to draw a big sun on the sidewalk.
+
+Tom saw Lily's sun and liked it. He said, "Wow, Lily, that is a nice sun. Can I draw with your white chalk?"
+
+Lily said, "No, this is mine. You have to find your own chalk."
+
+Tom felt sad and angry. He said, "That is not fair, Lily. You asked me to lend you some chalk, and now you won't lend me yours."
+
+Lily said, "You did not lend me any chalk, Tom. You were mean to me. You are a bad friend."
+
+Tom and Lily did not talk to each other. They drew on the sidewalk with their own chalk. But they did not have fun. They felt tired and lonely. They wished they had shared their chalk and played together.
+Sam and Lily were playing in the yard when they saw a big truck stop in front of their house. The truck had a sign that said "mail". They ran to the fence and watched as a man got out of the truck and took a big bag of mail to the door.
+
+"Look, Sam, maybe there is a letter for us!" Lily said.
+
+"Maybe, but we have to wait for mom to open it," Sam said.
+
+They waited and waited, but mom did not come to the door. The man knocked and knocked, but no one answered. He looked worried and checked his watch. He put the bag of mail on the porch and left a note on the door. Then he got back in the truck and drove away.
+
+"Where is mom?" Lily asked.
+
+"I don't know, maybe she is busy," Sam said.
+
+They ran to the door and tried to open it, but it was locked. They could not read the note, but they saw a picture of a phone on it.
+
+"Maybe we should call mom," Sam said.
+
+He took out his toy phone and pretended to dial a number.
+
+"Hello, mom, where are you?" he said.
+
+Lily took out her toy phone and pretended to answer.
+
+"Hi, Sam, I'm sorry, I had to go to the store. I'll be back soon," she said.
+
+"Okay, mom, we miss you. There is a lot of mail for you," Sam said.
+
+"Thank you, Sam, I'll be there in a minute. Be good and stay in the yard," she said.
+
+They hung up their toy phones and nodded to each other. They hoped mom would come back soon and open the mail. Maybe there was a surprise for them. They went back to the fence and played with their toys, but they kept looking at the door. They were worried and curious. They wanted to see mom and the mail.
+Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play with their toys in their room. But today, they have to go to the dentist. Mom says they have to hurry and get ready.
+
+"Tom, put on your shoes. Lily, brush your teeth. We have to go soon," Mom says.
+
+Tom and Lily do not like the dentist. They think it is scary and boring. They want to stay and play.
+
+"Mom, can we play for a little more?" Tom asks.
+
+"No, Tom. We have an order. We have to be there at ten o'clock. The dentist is waiting for us," Mom says.
+
+Tom and Lily sigh. They put away their toys and follow Mom to the car. They hope the dentist will be nice and fast.
+
+The dentist is an ordinary man. He has a white coat and a big smile. He says hello to Tom and Lily and asks them to sit on the chairs. He looks at their teeth with a small mirror and a light.
+
+"Your teeth are very clean and healthy. Good job, Tom and Lily. You must brush them every day," he says.
+
+Tom and Lily feel happy. They did not feel any pain. The dentist gives them each a sticker and a toothbrush. He says goodbye and tells them to come back in six months.
+
+"See, that was not so bad, was it?" Mom says.
+
+Tom and Lily nod. They are glad it is over. They hug Mom and thank her for taking them to the dentist. They hurry back to the car. They want to go home and play with their toys.
+Anna and Ben are playing in the park. They like to slide and swing and run. But they see a big dog. The dog is black and has long hair. The dog barks loud and runs to them.
+
+"Help! The dog is scary!" Anna says. She runs to the slide and climbs up. Ben follows her. The dog jumps and tries to catch them.
+
+"Go away, dog! We do not want to play with you!" Ben says. He shakes a bell that he has in his pocket. The bell makes a noise. The dog does not like the noise. He stops and covers his ears.
+
+Anna and Ben see a lady. The lady is the dog's owner. She calls the dog. "Rex, come here! I am sorry, kids. He is friendly, but he likes to chase."
+
+The dog hears the lady and runs to her. He wags his tail. The lady puts a leash on him. She smiles and says sorry to Anna and Ben.
+
+Anna and Ben are happy. They escape from the dog. They slide and swing and run again. They are not scared anymore. They have fun in the park.
+Sara and Lily were sisters who liked to play with their mom's makeup. One day, when mom was out, they sneaked into her room and opened her big makeup box. They saw many colors and shiny things inside.
+
+"Wow, look at all the makeup!" Sara said. "Let's try some on!"
+
+"Okay, but we have to be careful. Mom will be mad if she sees us," Lily said.
+
+They started to pick different makeup items and put them on their faces. Sara picked a red lipstick and smeared it on her mouth. Lily picked a blue eyeshadow and rubbed it on her eyes. They also picked some blush, mascara, and glitter. They looked at themselves in the mirror and giggled.
+
+"We look so pretty!" Sara said.
+
+"No, we look silly!" Lily said.
+
+They heard the door open and mom's voice. They panicked and tried to wipe off the makeup with a tissue, but it only made it worse. They ran to hide under the bed, hoping mom would not find them.
+
+Mom came into the room and saw the mess on her makeup box and on the mirror. She frowned and shook her head. She knew her daughters were hiding somewhere. She looked under the bed and saw two pairs of eyes staring at her.
+
+"Sara, Lily, what have you done?" she asked.
+
+"Sorry, mom, we just wanted to play with your makeup," Sara said.
+
+"Yeah, sorry, mom, we thought it would be fun," Lily said.
+
+Mom sighed and pulled them out from under the bed. She hugged them and said, "I love you, but you can't play with my makeup. It's not for children. It's for grown-ups who want to look nice. And you don't need makeup to look nice. You are beautiful just the way you are."
+
+She took them to the bathroom and helped them wash off the makeup. She saw their faces were dull and sad. She smiled and said, "How about we make some cookies instead? That's a better way to have fun, don't you think?"
+
+Sara and Lily nodded and cheered up. They followed mom to the kitchen and helped her make some yummy cookies. They forgot about the makeup and enjoyed the cookies. They learned their lesson and never played with mom's makeup again.
+Tom and Anna like to play with their radio. It is a big radio that can make many sounds. Sometimes it plays music, sometimes it talks, sometimes it makes funny noises. Tom and Anna like to turn the knobs and listen to the radio.
+
+One day, they hear a loud sound from the radio. It is a siren. The radio says: "There is a big storm coming. Go to a safe place. Do not stay outside." Tom and Anna are worried. They do not like storms. They want to find their mom and dad.
+
+They run to the living room, but they do not see their mom and dad. They run to the kitchen, but they do not see their mom and dad. They run to the bedroom, but they do not see their mom and dad. Where are they?
+
+They hear the radio again. It says: "Follow the sound of the siren. It will lead you to a safe place." Tom and Anna have an idea. They pick up the radio and hold it in their hands. They follow the sound of the siren. They hope it will lead them to their mom and dad.
+
+They go out of the house and walk on the street. They see other people with radios. They are also following the sound of the siren. They see a big building with a sign that says: "Shelter". They go inside the building. They see their mom and dad. They are happy. They hug them and say: "We followed the radio. We found you." Their mom and dad are happy too. They say: "We are proud of you. You are very smart and brave. We are safe now." They all sit together and listen to the radio. The radio says: "The storm is over. You can go back to your homes." Tom and Anna smile. They like their radio. It is a good radio.
+Sara and Tom wanted to see a movie. They asked their mom to take them to the theater. Mom said yes, but they had to go to the cheap theater. The cheap theater was old and dark. Sara and Tom did not like it.
+
+They got to the theater and bought some popcorn. They went to their seats and waited for the movie to start. But then they saw some big kids sitting behind them. The big kids were loud and rude. They threw popcorn at Sara and Tom and made fun of them.
+
+Sara and Tom felt scared and angry. They told their mom what was happening. Mom said they should ignore the big kids and enjoy the movie. But Sara and Tom could not ignore them. They could not hear the movie or see the screen. They wanted to leave.
+
+"Mom, can we go home?" Sara asked. "This is not fun."
+
+"Me too, mom," Tom said. "The big kids are mean."
+
+Mom looked at Sara and Tom. She saw how unhappy they were. She felt sorry for them. She decided to do something.
+
+"OK, kids, let's go," she said. "We'll find another theater. A better one."
+
+Sara and Tom smiled. They grabbed their popcorn and followed their mom. They left the cheap theater and the big kids behind. They hoped to find a nice theater where they could settle and watch a movie in peace.
+Sara likes to draw with her crayons. She has many colors and she makes pictures of flowers, animals and people. She enjoys drawing very much. She draws every day on her big paper.
+
+One day, Sara wants to draw on something different. She sees her dad's white shirt on the bed. She thinks it is a good place to draw. She takes her crayons and starts to draw on the shirt. She draws a big sun, a green tree and a pink cat. She is very happy with her drawing.
+
+But when her dad comes home, he is not happy. He sees his shirt and he is angry. He says, "Sara, what did you do to my shirt? This is my shirt, not your paper. You ruined it!" He scolds Sara and makes her cry.
+
+Sara feels sad and sorry. She did not mean to make her dad angry. She just wanted to draw something nice. She says, "I'm sorry, dad. I like your shirt. I wanted to make it pretty. I enjoy drawing."
+
+Her dad sees her tears and feels sorry too. He hugs Sara and says, "I'm sorry, Sara. I know you enjoy drawing. But you can't draw on my shirt. That is not nice. You have to ask before you use something that is not yours. Do you understand?"
+
+Sara nods and says, "I understand, dad. I won't draw on your shirt again. I will draw on my paper. Can I still draw with my crayons?"
+
+Her dad smiles and says, "Of course, you can. You are a good and modest girl. You can draw with your crayons. But next time, please draw me a picture and give it to me. I will love it more than my shirt."
+Tom and Mia are friends who like to design clothes. They use paper, scissors, glue and crayons to make dresses, shirts, pants and hats. They have a lot of fun making different outfits.
+
+One day, Tom has an idea. He wants to make a unique shirt with a big pocket on the front. He thinks a pocket is useful and cool. He cuts a square of paper and glues it on his shirt. He is very proud of his design.
+
+"Look, Mia, I made a shirt with a pocket!" he says, showing her his work.
+
+Mia looks at Tom's shirt. She does not like it. She thinks a pocket is silly and ugly. She likes her dress with flowers and ribbons better.
+
+"Your shirt is bad, Tom. A pocket is not for clothes. A pocket is for pants or coats. Your shirt looks like a bag. I don't want to play with you anymore." she says, turning away from him.
+
+Tom feels sad and angry. He likes his shirt and his pocket. He thinks Mia is mean and rude. He does not want to be her friend anymore.
+
+"Why are you so mean, Mia? A pocket is for clothes too. A pocket is for anything you want. My shirt is unique and cool. You are just jealous. I don't want to play with you anymore either." he says, tearing his shirt off.
+
+Tom and Mia start to cry. They both feel hurt and lonely. They wish they could be friends again, but they don't know how to say sorry. They sit on opposite sides of the room, holding their clothes. They wonder if they can ever design clothes together again.
+Anna loves her purple comb. She uses it every day to make her hair look nice. She likes to comb her hair in front of the mirror and make different styles. She also likes to share her comb with her best friend, Lily.
+
+One day, Anna and Lily are playing at the park. They see a big slide and want to try it. Anna says, "Lily, can you hold my comb for me? I don't want to lose it on the slide." Lily says, "Sure, Anna. I will hold your comb. I promise." Anna gives her comb to Lily and runs to the slide.
+
+Anna has fun on the slide. She slides down fast and feels the wind in her hair. She laughs and climbs up again. She does this many times. She forgets about her comb.
+
+Lily waits for Anna. She holds the comb in her hand. She likes the purple color. She thinks, "Maybe I can use the comb for a little bit. Anna won't mind. She is busy on the slide." Lily puts the comb in her hair and tries to make a ponytail. She pulls too hard and the comb breaks. Lily feels sad and scared. She thinks, "Oh no, what have I done? Anna will be mad at me. I broke my promise."
+
+Anna comes back from the slide. She looks for Lily and sees her sitting on a bench. She says, "Lily, I had so much fun on the slide. Did you see me? Where is my comb?" Lily looks at Anna and starts to cry. She says, "Anna, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I broke your comb. I wanted to use it for a little bit, but I pulled too hard and it snapped. I'm sorry. I broke my promise." Anna sees the broken comb and feels angry and sad. She says, "Lily, why did you do that? That was my favorite comb. You said you would hold it for me. You said you would promise. You lied to me. You are not my friend." Anna takes the broken comb and runs away. Lily cries harder and calls after her. She says, "Anna, please, don't go. Please, forgive me. Please, be my friend." But Anna does not listen. She runs home and slams the door.
+Timmy liked to borrow books from the library. He liked to look at the pictures and learn new words. One day, he saw a book with a big letter on the cover. It was an unusual letter. It looked like a snake with a dot on its head. Timmy wanted to know what it was.
+
+He took the book to the librarian and asked, "What is this letter?"
+
+The librarian smiled and said, "That is a letter from another language. It is called Arabic. It is spoken by many people in different countries. Do you want to borrow this book and learn more?"
+
+Timmy nodded and said, "Yes, please. Thank you."
+
+The librarian gave him a card and said, "You can keep the book for two weeks. Then you have to bring it back. Do you understand?"
+
+Timmy said, "Yes, I understand. I will bring it back."
+
+He took the book and went home. He showed it to his mom and dad. They were surprised and curious. They helped him read some words and learn some sounds. Timmy liked the book. He felt like he was traveling to a new place.
+
+The next day, he took the book to school. He wanted to share it with his friends. He showed them the letter and told them what it was. His friends were amazed and interested. They asked him many questions. Timmy felt proud and happy. He had borrowed a very special book.
+Sara liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls with long hair. She liked to brush their hair and make them pretty. One day, she wanted to wash their hair too. She saw a big bottle of shampoo in the bathroom. She thought it would make their hair shiny and soft.
+
+She took the bottle and her dolls to the bathtub. She filled the tub with water and poured some shampoo on her dolls' heads. She rubbed the shampoo into their hair and made bubbles. She was having fun. But then, something bad happened.
+
+The shampoo got into her eyes. It stung and burned. She cried and screamed. She could not see. She felt helpless. She wanted her mommy. She dropped the bottle and the dolls in the water. The water turned pink and foamy.
+
+Mommy heard her cry and ran to the bathroom. She saw Sara in the tub with the shampoo and the dolls. She was worried and angry. She turned off the water and took Sara out of the tub. She rinsed her eyes with clean water and dried her with a towel. She hugged her and said, "Sara, what did you do? You should never play with shampoo. It is not for dolls. It is for grown-ups. It can hurt your eyes. You could have been hurt more. You are very lucky."
+
+Sara felt sorry and scared. She said, "I'm sorry, Mommy. I wanted to wash my dolls' hair. I did not know shampoo was bad. I will not do it again. Please don't be mad at me." Mommy said, "I'm not mad at you, Sara. I'm glad you are okay. But you have to be careful and listen to me. Shampoo is not a toy. It is a soap. You can only use it when I help you. Do you understand?" Sara nodded and said, "Yes, Mommy. I understand. I love you." Mommy said, "I love you too, Sara. Now let's clean up this mess and put your dolls away." Sara said, "Okay, Mommy. Thank you for helping me." They smiled and hugged.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the sand. They make a big pile of sand and say it is an island. They put shells and rocks on the island. They make a flag with a stick and a leaf.
+
+Lily and Ben see a big cloud in the sky. It is dark and loud. They hear thunder and see lightning. They are scared. They run to their mom and dad. Mom and dad hug them and say it is okay.
+
+The rain comes and falls on the sand. It makes the sand wet and flat. It washes away the shells and rocks. It covers the island with water. The flag falls down. Lily and Ben are sad. They say goodbye to their island.
+
+The rain stops and the sun comes out. It makes a rainbow in the sky. It makes the sand dry and warm. Lily and Ben see their island again. It is smaller and rounder. But it is still there. They see their flag too. It is green and wet. They smile and run to their island. They fix their flag and find new shells and rocks. They are happy. They say hello to their island.
+Lily and her mom went to a pizza place for lunch. Lily liked pizza very much. She saw a menu on the table with pictures of different pizzas. She wanted to choose one.
+
+"Mom, can I have this one?" Lily asked, pointing to a pizza with cheese and ham.
+
+"Sure, honey, that looks good. I'll have this one with mushrooms and olives," mom said, pointing to another pizza.
+
+The waiter came and took their order. He gave them some napkins and said, "Your pizzas will be ready soon. Enjoy your lunch."
+
+Lily was bored. She wanted to play with something. She saw the menu on the table. She thought it looked like a paper. She picked it up and started to fold it. She folded it in half, then in half again, then in half again. She made a small square.
+
+"Look, mom, I made a square!" Lily said, holding up her folded menu.
+
+Mom looked at Lily and frowned. She was not happy. She took the menu from Lily and unfolded it. She saw that it was torn and wrinkled.
+
+"Lily, what did you do? You ruined the menu! That was not nice. You should be gentle with things that are not yours. Now we have to pay for it. And we have to wait longer for our pizzas. You are in trouble, young lady," mom said, scolding Lily.
+
+Lily felt sad and sorry. She did not mean to ruin the menu. She just wanted to have some fun. She did not know it was bad. She started to cry.
+
+"I'm sorry, mom, I'm sorry. I didn't know. Please don't be mad at me. I love you," Lily said, sobbing.
+
+Mom sighed and hugged Lily. She was still angry, but she loved Lily too. She said, "I love you too, Lily, but you have to learn to be more careful and respectful. Next time, ask me before you touch something that is not yours. And don't fold things that are not meant to be folded. OK?"
+
+Lily nodded and wiped her tears. She said, "OK, mom, I'm sorry. I'll be good. Can we still have pizza?"
+
+Mom said, "Yes, we can still have pizza, but you have to eat it quietly and quickly. And you have to say sorry to the waiter and the owner for the menu. And you have to help me pay for it with your allowance. Do you understand?"
+
+Lily said, "Yes, mom, I understand. I'm sorry. I'll be good."
+
+They waited for their pizzas, but they did not come. They waited and waited, but they did not come. The waiter forgot about them. He was busy with other customers. He did not see them. He did not hear them. He did not care about them. They were hungry and sad. They did not have a good lunch. They had a bad lunch. They had a bad day.
+Anna and Ben are playing with blocks. They want to make a big tower. They stack the blocks one by one. They are happy.
+
+"Look, our tower is so high!" Anna says.
+
+"Yes, it is!" Ben says.
+
+They see a big box. It has a top. The top is close to the box.
+
+"Let's put the top on our tower!" Anna says.
+
+"Good idea!" Ben says.
+
+They lift the top. It is heavy. They try to put it on the tower. But it does not fit. It is too big. The tower falls down. The blocks go everywhere. Anna and Ben are sad.
+
+"Oh no, our tower is gone!" Anna says.
+
+"That was not fun!" Ben says.
+
+They look at the box. It is empty. They have an idea.
+
+"Let's play in the box!" Anna says.

+
+"Who is he?" Anna asks Ben.
+
+"I don't know. He is not from our school. He is not from our street. He is not from our park," Ben says.
+
+The new boy sees Anna and Ben. He walks to them. He leans to Anna and says, "Hello, I am Max. Do you want to play with me?"
+
+Anna is scared. She hides behind Ben. Ben is brave. He says, "No, we don't want to play with you. You are different. You are strange. You are not our friend."
+
+Max is sad. He says, "But I am not different. I am not strange. I am just new. I want to be your friend. I have a ball. We can play catch. We can have fun."
+
+He winks at Anna and Ben. He hopes they will change their mind.
+
+Anna and Ben look at each other. They think for a moment. They see that Max is not mean. He is not bad. He is just lonely. They feel sorry for him.
+
+"OK, we can play with you," Anna says.
+
+"OK, we can be your friend," Ben says.
+
+Max is happy. He says, "Thank you, Anna and Ben. You are very nice. You are very kind. You are very cool."

+They play catch with the ball. They laugh and run. They have fun. They learn that different is not bad. Different is good. Different is interesting. Different is fun.
+Tom and Lily were playing with their toy cars in the garden. They liked to make them zoom and crash and honk. They had many cars of different colors and sizes.
+
+"Look at my red car, Lily!" Tom said. "It is very fast and loud. I admire it a lot. Do you want to try it?"
+
+Lily nodded and took the red car from Tom. She made it zoom along the grass and then crash into a rock. She laughed and said, "This is fun, Tom! Your car is very strong. It did not break."
+
+Tom smiled and said, "Thank you, Lily. You are a good driver. Do you want to see my blue car? It is very big and shiny. I admire it too."
+
+Lily gave back the red car and took the blue car from Tom. She made it zoom along the path and then crash into a fence. She gasped and said, "Oh no, Tom! Your car is a wreck! It has a terrible dent and a scratch. I am sorry, Tom. I did not mean to break it."
+
+Tom frowned and said, "That's okay, Lily. It was an accident. I am not mad at you. You are still my friend. But I am sad about my blue car. It was my favorite. I admired it a lot."
+
+Lily hugged Tom and said, "I am sorry, Tom. I know how you feel. I have a yellow car that I admire a lot too. It is very small and cute. Do you want to play with it? Maybe we can fix your blue car later."
+
+Tom nodded and said, "Thank you, Lily. You are very kind. I would like to play with your yellow car. Maybe we can find some tape and glue and make my blue car look better."
+
+They put the blue car aside and played with the yellow car. They made it zoom and crash and honk. They had fun and forgot about the wreck. They admired each other's cars and friendship.
+Lila and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big hill with some rocks and grass. They wanted to climb the hill and see what was on the other side.
+
+They ran up the hill and looked around. They saw some flowers and some bugs and some birds. They also saw something long and thin and shiny. It was a snake. The snake was lying on a rock and sunning itself. It did not see Lila and Ben.
+
+Lila and Ben were curious. They wanted to see the snake better. They walked closer to the rock. The snake heard them and lifted its head. It saw Lila and Ben. It was not happy. It opened its mouth and showed its teeth. It made a loud hiss.
+
+Lila and Ben were scared. They did not like the snake. They did not want to be near it. They turned around and ran down the hill. They ran to their mom and dad, who were sitting on a bench. They told them what they saw.
+
+Mom and dad hugged Lila and Ben. They said they were brave and smart to run away from the snake. They said the snake was not friendly and could hurt them. They said they should not touch or bother the snake. They said they should wave to the snake from far away and say goodbye.
+
+Lila and Ben nodded. They understood. They looked at the hill and saw the snake still on the rock. They waved to the snake and said goodbye. Then they went to the playground and played some more. They had a tasty snack of apples and crackers. They had a fun day in the park.
+Lily and Ben are playing cops and robbers in the park. Lily is the cop and Ben is the robber. Lily has a toy gun and Ben has a bag of candy.
+
+"Stop, robber! Give me the candy!" Lily shouts, running after Ben.
+
+"No, no, no! You can't catch me!" Ben says, laughing and running away.
+
+Lily chases Ben around the trees and the swings. She tries to shoot him with her toy gun, but she misses. Ben sticks out his tongue at her.
+
+"Ha, ha, ha! You are a bad cop!" Ben teases.
+
+Lily gets angry and runs faster. She catches up with Ben and tackles him to the ground. She takes his bag of candy and puts it in her pocket.
+
+"Got you, robber! You are going to jail!" Lily says, holding Ben down.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow! Let me go, let me go!" Ben cries, struggling.
+
+Lily rubs her toy gun on Ben's face. She makes a siren sound with her mouth.
+
+"Woo, woo, woo! You are in big trouble, robber!" Lily says.
+
+Ben stops struggling and looks at Lily. He sees that she is smiling. He realizes that she is just playing. He smiles back at her.
+
+"OK, OK, you win, cop. You are a good cop!" Ben says.
+
+Lily lets go of Ben and helps him up. She gives him back his bag of candy.
+
+"Here, robber. You can have some candy. But don't steal again!" Lily says.
+
+"Thank you, cop. You are a nice cop. Can we play again?" Ben says.
+
+Lily nods and hugs Ben. They are friends again.
+
+The end.
+Lily and Tom liked to play with their toy boat in the bathtub. They pretended they were sailors and went on adventures. One day, they decided to sail to a faraway island.
+
+"Look, Tom, I see land!" Lily said, pointing to a soap bar. "Let's go there and find treasure!"
+
+"OK, Lily, but be careful. There might be sharks in the water!" Tom said, holding a rubber duck.
+
+They moved their boat closer to the soap bar, but suddenly they saw a big shadow under the water. It was a shark! It had sharp teeth and a fin. It swam towards their boat.
+
+"Help, help, a shark!" Lily and Tom screamed. They were very scared. They grabbed their boat and lifted it out of the water.
+
+The shark jumped out of the water too, but it missed the boat. It landed on the floor with a splash. It was cold and wet. It could not breathe.
+
+"Mom, mom, there's a shark in the bathroom!" Lily and Tom shouted. They ran out of the bathroom and called their mom.
+
+Mom came and saw the shark. She was not scared. She laughed and picked up the shark. It was not a real shark. It was a toy shark that Tom had forgotten in the bathtub.
+
+"Look, kids, it's just a toy. It can't hurt you. It's a friendly shark. Do you want to play with it?" Mom said, smiling.
+
+Lily and Tom looked at each other. They felt silly. They nodded and went back to the bathroom. They put the shark in the water and played with it. They pretended it was their friend and they shared their treasure with it. They had fun and forgot their fear.
+Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They liked to make noises and pretend they were cars, planes, or animals. They had a lot of fun, but they also made a lot of mess.
+
+Suddenly, they heard a loud noise from the kitchen. It was the alarm. It beeped and flashed and scared them. They ran to the kitchen to see what was wrong.
+
+Mom was there, holding a pot with smoke coming out of it. She looked angry and worried. She turned off the alarm and put the pot in the sink.
+
+"What happened, Mom?" Lily asked.
+
+"I was trying to make soup, but I forgot to watch it. It burned and set off the alarm. I'm sorry, kids. It was a mistake," Mom explained.
+
+Lily and Ben felt sorry for Mom. They knew she worked hard and sometimes made mistakes. They hugged her and said they loved her.
+
+"Can we help you, Mom?" Ben asked.
+
+Mom smiled and said, "Yes, you can. You can help me clean up the kitchen and the living room. That would make me very proud of you."
+
+Lily and Ben nodded and agreed. They wanted to make Mom proud and happy. They worked together to tidy up the toys, the dishes, and the floor. They sang and laughed and made Mom laugh too.
+
+Mom thanked them and gave them each a kiss. She said, "You are such good kids. You are very kind and helpful. I'm so proud of you."
+
+Lily and Ben felt happy and proud too. They learned that mistakes can happen, but they can also be fixed. They learned that helping Mom was fun and rewarding. They learned that they loved Mom and Mom loved them.
+Timmy had long hair that covered his eyes and ears. He did not like to brush his hair or wash it. He liked to play with his toys and watch cartoons. His mom and dad told him he needed a haircut, but he said no. He was afraid of the barber and his scissors.
+
+One day, Timmy was playing with his ball in the park. He threw the ball high in the air and ran to catch it. But he did not see a big dog that was chasing the ball too. The dog jumped and bit the ball, and also bit Timmy's hair. Timmy screamed and ran away. The dog ran away too, with the ball and some of Timmy's hair in his mouth.
+
+Timmy's mom and dad heard him cry and came to see what happened. They saw his hair was torn and messy. They hugged him and said he was brave and healthy. They also said he needed a haircut now, to fix his hair and make it look nice. Timmy agreed. He did not want the dog to bite his hair again.
+
+They went to the barber shop and met the barber. He was a friendly man who smiled and talked to Timmy. He showed him his scissors and comb and said they were not scary. He said he would make Timmy's hair look like his favorite cartoon character. Timmy liked that idea. He sat on the barber chair and let the barber cut his hair. He did not cry or fuss. He looked in the mirror and saw his new haircut. He liked it. He looked like a big boy.
+
+Timmy's mom and dad were proud of him. They said he was brave and healthy and handsome. They gave him a hug and a kiss and a new ball. Timmy was happy. He thanked the barber and said goodbye. He went to the park and played with his new ball. He did not lose it. He did not lose his hair. He did not lose his smile.
+Tom and Lily were brother and sister. They liked to play in their room, but sometimes they made too much noise. Their mom and dad told them to be quiet, because the baby was sleeping.
+
+One day, they found a big rug in the closet. It was soft and colorful. They decided to make a tent with it. They put the rug over their bed and crawled inside. They brought some toys and books with them.
+
+"Let's pretend we are explorers in the jungle," Tom whispered to Lily. "We have to be careful of the wild animals and the traps."
+
+"OK, I will be the leader and you will be the helper," Lily whispered back. "Follow me and do what I say."
+
+They crawled under the rug and made noises like monkeys and birds. They pretended to see snakes and spiders and crocodiles. They had a lot of fun, but they forgot to be quiet.
+
+Suddenly, they heard a loud cry from the baby's room. Their mom and dad ran to see what was wrong. They saw the rug over the bed and lifted it up. They found Tom and Lily under it.
+
+"What are you doing here?" their mom asked. "You woke up the baby with your noise. You know you have to be quiet when he is sleeping."
+
+"We are sorry, mom," Tom and Lily said. "We were playing explorers and we got carried away. We didn't mean to be loud."
+
+Their mom and dad looked at them and sighed. They knew they loved to play, but they also had to learn to respect the baby's nap time.
+
+"Playing is good, but you have to be aware of others," their dad said. "Sometimes you have to be quiet and gentle, and sometimes you can be loud and fast. You have to know when and where to do each thing."
+
+Tom and Lily nodded. They understood their mistake. They hugged their mom and dad and said they were sorry again. They also went to the baby's room and said sorry to him. They gave him a kiss and a toy.
+
+They learned that being quiet is not always boring, and being loud is not always fun. They learned to play in different ways and to care for their baby brother. They were happy and so was their family.
+Tim and Mia were playing in the park. They liked to slide on the big slide. It was fun and fast. But there was a problem. A big bear was sitting on the slide. He did not want to move. He was grumpy and scary.
+
+"Go away, bear!" Tim shouted. "We want to slide!"
+
+The bear growled. "No, this is my slide. You go away!"
+
+Mia was afraid. She hid behind Tim. Tim was brave. He walked up to the bear. He looked at him in the eyes.
+
+"Why are you on the slide, bear?" Tim asked. "Don't you have friends to play with?"
+
+The bear looked down. He was ashamed. He did not have friends. He was lonely and sad. He came to the park to find someone to play with. But no one liked him. They ran away from him.
+
+"I'm sorry, bear," Tim said. "I did not know. We can be your friends. We can play with you. Do you want to slide with us?"
+
+The bear nodded. He smiled. He moved to the side. He let Tim and Mia slide. Then he slid with them. It was fun and fast. They laughed and cheered.
+
+They played for a long time. They became friends. The bear was happy. He was not grumpy and scary anymore. He was kind and friendly.
+
+The moral of the story is: Don't judge someone by their appearance. They might be lonely and need a friend. Be kind and brave. You can make new friends.
+Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a coin. The coin is shiny and round. They use the coin to buy ice cream.
+
+One day, Tom and Lily go to the park. They want to buy ice cream. But they can't find the coin. They look everywhere. They look under the slide, behind the bench, in the grass. They can't find the coin.
+
+Tom and Lily are sad. They miss the coin. They miss the ice cream. They sit on the swing and cry.
+
+A man sees them. He is kind. He asks them why they are sad. They tell him about the coin. He says he can help. He has a big magnet. The magnet is strong. It can pull the coin.
+
+The man uses the magnet. He moves it around the park. He finds the coin. It sticks to the magnet. He gives the coin to Tom and Lily. They are happy. They thank the man. They run to buy ice cream.
+
+Tom and Lily share the ice cream. They say the coin is lucky. They say the man is nice. They say they are friends. They smile and lick the ice cream.
+Tom and Lily were playing outside in the garden. They liked to run and jump and laugh. They saw a big, powerful rainbow in the sky. It had many colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple.
+
+"Wow, look at the rainbow!" Lily said. "It is so pretty and bright!"
+
+"I want to drink the rainbow!" Tom said. "Maybe it tastes like candy or juice!"
+
+"No, you can't drink the rainbow!" Lily said. "It is too high and too far. And it is not for drinking. It is for looking."
+
+Tom did not listen to Lily. He ran to the shed and got a ladder. He put the ladder against the fence and climbed up. He reached out his hand to touch the rainbow.
+
+"Tom, stop! Come down!" Lily shouted. "It is not safe! You will fall and hurt yourself!"
+
+But Tom did not hear Lily. He wanted to drink the rainbow. He leaned forward and opened his mouth.
+
+Suddenly, a big cloud came and covered the sun. The rainbow disappeared. Tom lost his balance and fell off the ladder. He landed on the grass with a thud.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Tom cried. He felt pain in his arm and his leg.
+
+Lily ran to Tom and hugged him. She was scared and sorry.
+
+"Tom, are you okay?" Lily asked. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to yell at you. I just wanted to protect you."
+
+Tom looked at Lily and sniffed. He felt sad and silly.
+
+"I'm sorry, too," Tom said. "I was wrong. You can't drink the rainbow. It is not for drinking. It is for looking. And for sharing with you."
+
+Lily smiled and kissed Tom's cheek. She helped him get up and go inside. They told their mom what happened. She gave them a band-aid and a hug. She also gave them a glass of water and a cookie.
+
+"Next time, listen to your sister," Mom said. "She loves you and knows what is best for you."
+
+Tom and Lily nodded and said sorry. They drank their water and ate their cookie. They looked out the window and saw the sun come out again. They saw a new, powerful rainbow in the sky. It had many colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple.
+
+They smiled and held hands. They learned their lesson. They did not want to drink the rainbow. They just wanted to look at it. And to share it with each other.
+Anna and Ben are hungry. They want to eat something yummy. They go to the kitchen and look at the refrigerator. The refrigerator is enormous. It has many doors and drawers.
+
+Anna opens one door and sees some cheese and ham. She points to them and says, "I want cheese and ham. They are good for sandwiches."
+
+Ben opens another door and sees some yogurt and fruit. He points to them and says, "I want yogurt and fruit. They are good for dessert."
+
+Anna and Ben take out what they want and put them on the table. They are happy. They make their own sandwiches and bowls of yogurt and fruit. They eat them with big smiles.
+
+Mom comes into the kitchen and sees them. She is surprised and proud. She says, "Wow, you made your own lunch. That is very clever. How did you find what you wanted in the refrigerator?"
+
+Anna and Ben point to the refrigerator and say, "The refrigerator is enormous. It has many doors and drawers. We opened them and looked inside. We found what we liked and took them out. It was easy and fun."
+
+Mom hugs them and says, "You are amazing. I love you. Now, let's clean up the table and the refrigerator."
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. Today, they see a big slide. Anna wants to go first. She runs to the slide and climbs up the ladder.
+
+"Wait for me!" Ben says. He follows Anna to the top of the slide. He sees Anna sitting on the slide, ready to go down.
+
+"Are you scared?" he asks her.
+
+"No, I am not scared. I am brave!" Anna says. She smiles and pushes herself down the slide. She feels the wind in her hair and the sun on her face. She laughs and shouts, "Whee!"
+
+Ben watches Anna go down the slide. He thinks she is very fast and very fun. He wants to go down the slide too. He sits on the slide and looks down. He sees Anna waiting for him at the bottom. She waves at him and says, "Come on, Ben! It is your turn!"
+
+Ben nods and takes a deep breath. He is a little scared, but he is brave too. He pushes himself down the slide. He feels the wind in his hair and the sun on his face. He laughs and shouts, "Whee!"
+
+Anna and Ben meet at the bottom of the slide. They hug and high-five each other. They are happy and proud. They think the slide is perfect.
+
+"Let's do it again!" Anna says.
+
+"Yes, let's do it again!" Ben says.
+
+They run to the slide and climb up the ladder. They are ready for more fun. They are friends. They like to play in the park.
+Lily and Sam were friends. They liked to play with dolls and cars. One day, Lily saw a new doll in Sam's room. The doll had long, yellow hair and a pretty dress.
+
+"Can I borrow your doll?" Lily asked Sam.
+
+Sam was nice. He said yes. He gave Lily his doll and played with his cars.
+
+Lily liked the doll very much. She brushed the doll's hair and made braids. She put the doll on her bed and went to have a snack.
+
+But when she came back, she saw something bad. Her dog, Spot, had jumped on her bed and chewed the doll's hair. The hair was all messy and torn. Some of it was on the floor.
+
+Lily was scared. She knew Sam would be angry. She tried to fix the doll's hair, but it was too late. She felt ashamed.
+
+She took the doll and ran to Sam's room. She knocked on the door and said, "I'm sorry, Sam. I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
+
+Sam opened the door and saw the doll. He was shocked. He loved his doll. He had got it for his birthday. He looked at Lily and said, "Why did you do this? Why did you ruin my doll?"
+
+Lily cried. She said, "I didn't mean to. It was Spot. He bit the doll's hair. I'm sorry, Sam. Please forgive me."
+
+But Sam was too sad and angry. He took the doll from Lily and said, "Go away, Lily. You are not my friend anymore. You can't borrow anything from me ever again."
+
+Lily ran away, sobbing. She felt very bad. She had lost her friend and hurt his feelings. She wished she had never borrowed the doll. She wished she had been more careful. She wished she could say sorry again. But it was too late. Sam didn't want to talk to her. Lily was alone.
+Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play with dolls and cars and books. One day, they found a big box in the park. They wondered what was inside.
+
+"Maybe it's a treasure!" Lily said.
+
+"Maybe it's a monster!" Ben said.
+
+They decided to open the box together. They lifted the lid and peeked inside. They saw something furry and brown. It had big ears and a long tail. It was a bunny!
+
+"Wow, it's a bunny!" Lily said. "It's so adorable!"
+
+"Yuck, it's a bunny!" Ben said. "It's so boring!"
+
+Lily wanted to keep the bunny. She reached out her hand to pet it. Ben wanted to leave the bunny. He kicked the box with his toe. The bunny got scared and jumped out of the box. It ran away into the bushes.
+
+"Ben, why did you do that?" Lily asked. She was sad and angry.
+
+"I don't like bunnies. They are stupid and smelly." Ben said. He shrugged his shoulders.
+
+Lily and Ben started to argue. They said mean words to each other. They stopped being friends.
+
+A lady came by and saw them. She was the owner of the bunny. She had lost it in the park. She was happy to find it again.
+
+"Thank you for finding my bunny. His name is Fluffy. He is very friendly and smart." She said.
+
+She gave Lily and Ben a carrot each. She told them to share it with Fluffy. She said that bunnies are good animals. They can teach people how to be kind and gentle.
+
+Lily and Ben felt sorry for what they did. They apologized to each other. They realized that they had different opinions, but they could still be friends. They learned to respect and appreciate each other's choices.
+
+They took turns to feed Fluffy the carrot. They smiled and hugged. They played with the bunny and the lady. They had fun.
+
+The moral of the story is: Don't judge others by their likes and dislikes. Be open-minded and tolerant. Friendship is more important than being right.
+Lily and Ben were playing hide and seek in the garden. Lily was the seeker and Ben was the hider. Lily counted to ten and then looked for Ben. She saw his chubby legs sticking out from behind a bush. She ran towards him and shouted, "I found you, Ben! You have to surrender!"
+
+Ben did not want to surrender. He liked hiding. He crawled out from behind the bush and ran away. He saw a big turkey in the corner of the garden. The turkey was eating some corn. Ben thought the turkey was funny. He decided to hide behind the turkey.
+
+Lily followed Ben and saw him behind the turkey. She giggled and said, "Ben, you can't hide behind the turkey! The turkey is too small to cover you. I can still see you, Ben! You have to surrender!"
+
+Ben looked at the turkey and saw that it was not happy. The turkey was angry that Ben was hiding behind it. The turkey made a loud noise and pecked at Ben's legs. Ben screamed and jumped away from the turkey. He ran back to Lily and said, "OK, OK, I surrender! You win, Lily! The turkey is mean!"
+
+Lily hugged Ben and said, "Don't worry, Ben. The turkey is not mean. The turkey is just scared. You scared the turkey, Ben. You have to be nice to the turkey. Say sorry to the turkey, Ben."
+
+Ben nodded and said, "Sorry, turkey. I didn't mean to scare you. You are a nice turkey. Can we be friends, turkey?"
+
+The turkey calmed down and nodded. The turkey liked Ben and Lily. The turkey shared some corn with them. Lily and Ben thanked the turkey and ate some corn. They were happy. They played with the turkey until it was time to go inside. They said goodbye to the turkey and went inside. They had a fun day.
+Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big dog. The dog is brown and white. He has a long tail and a wet nose. He looks charming.
+
+"Can we pet him?" Sara asks.
+
+"Let's ask his owner," Ben says.
+
+They look around and see a lady. She is sitting on a bench. She has a book and a hat. She smiles at them.
+
+"Hello, children. Do you like my dog?" she says.
+
+"Yes, he is charming. What is his name?" Ben says.
+
+"His name is Max. He is very friendly. You can pet him if you want," she says.
+
+Sara and Ben are happy. They go to Max and pet him. He licks their faces. He wags his tail. He is warm and soft.
+
+"Max likes you. He likes to play and run. He also likes to sleep in the sun. He likes the heat," the lady says.
+
+"Can we play with him?" Sara asks.
+
+"Sure, you can. But be careful. He is strong and fast. He might pull you or knock you down," the lady says.
+
+Sara and Ben nod. They take turns throwing a ball for Max. He runs and catches it. He brings it back. He barks and jumps. He is fun.
+
+Sara and Ben play with Max for a long time. They have a lot of fun. They thank the lady and say goodbye to Max. They hug him and kiss him.
+
+"Bye, Max. You are charming. We like you," they say.
+
+"Bye, children. You are charming, too. Max likes you. Come back and play with him again," the lady says.
+
+Sara and Ben wave and leave. They go home with their moms. They tell them about Max. They say he is the best dog ever. They hope to see him again. They own a new friend.
+Ben and Mia are playing soccer in the park. They have a ball and a net. Ben kicks the ball hard, but Mia stops it with her foot. She runs to the net and tries to score.
+
+"Good job, Mia!" Ben says. "You are fast and strong."
+
+"Thank you, Ben!" Mia says. "You are kind and fun."
+
+They take turns kicking and stopping the ball. They laugh and cheer. They are having a good time.
+
+But then, a big dog comes to the park. It sees the ball and runs to get it. It grabs the ball with its teeth and shakes it. It makes a loud noise.
+
+"Hey, that's our ball!" Ben shouts. "Give it back, dog!"
+
+Mia is scared of the dog. She hides behind Ben. She holds his hand.
+
+"Ben, I'm afraid!" Mia says. "The dog is big and loud."
+
+Ben hugs Mia. He supports her. He says, "Don't worry, Mia. I'm here with you. We can get our ball back. The dog is not mean. It just wants to play."
+
+Ben and Mia walk to the dog slowly. They talk to the dog in a soft voice. They say, "Hello, dog. We are Ben and Mia. We are playing soccer. Can we have our ball back, please?"
+
+The dog wags its tail. It drops the ball and licks Ben and Mia. It wants to be their friend.
+
+Ben and Mia pet the dog. They say, "Thank you, dog. You are nice and cute. Do you want to play soccer with us?"
+
+The dog barks. It nods its head. It runs to the net and waits for the ball.
+
+Ben and Mia smile. They pick up the ball and kick it to the dog. The dog catches it and kicks it back. They play soccer together. They are happy.
+
+The ball, the net, and the dog are important to Ben and Mia. But the most important thing is that they have each other. They are best friends. They support each other. They love each other. The end.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to slide, swing and run. But they did not like the big dog that was barking at them. The dog was on a leash, but it looked scary and loud.
+
+"Go away, dog!" Tom shouted. "You are mean and bad!"
+
+The dog's owner was a nice lady. She smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, children. He is harmless. He just wants to play with you. He likes to tease."
+
+"Tease?" Lily asked. "What does that mean?"
+
+"It means he likes to make you laugh or chase him. He is not angry or mean. He is just playful. Look, he has a zipper on his coat. Do you want to see?" The lady unzipped the dog's coat and showed them a funny pattern on his fur.
+
+Tom and Lily laughed. The dog had spots and stripes on his fur. He looked like a zebra and a cow. He wagged his tail and licked their faces.
+
+"He is cute and funny!" Lily said. "Can we pet him?"
+
+"Of course, you can. His name is Zippy. He likes to make new friends." The lady said.
+
+Tom and Lily petted Zippy and played with him. They forgot their fear and had fun. They learned that sometimes things that look scary are harmless and friendly. They also learned a new word: tease.
+Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big gray animal with a long nose. It was an elephant.
+
+"Wow, look at that!" Lily said. "It has a trunk!"
+
+"Can we race it?" Ben asked. He liked to run fast.
+
+Lily nodded. They ran to the elephant and said hello. The elephant was kind. He smiled and said hello back.
+
+"Do you want to race with us?" Lily asked.
+
+The elephant shook his head. He was wise. He knew he was too big and slow to race with the children.
+
+"Sorry, I can't race with you," he said. "But I can do something else. I can spray water with my trunk. Do you want to see?"
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They were curious. The elephant filled his trunk with water from a fountain. Then he lifted his trunk and sprayed water in the air. It made a rainbow.
+
+Lily and Ben clapped and laughed. They liked the rainbow. They thanked the elephant for his show.
+
+"You're welcome," the elephant said. "You are very nice and brave. Maybe next time we can race with something else. How about a turtle?"
+
+Lily and Ben agreed. They said goodbye to the elephant and went to look for a turtle. They had a lot of fun in the park.
+Lily loves to dance. She dances every day in her room. She has a new dress that is pink and shiny. She wants to show her dress and her dance to her family.
+
+She asks her mom, "Can I perform for you and dad and Sam?" Sam is her big brother. He likes to play games on his computer.
+
+Mom says, "Of course, Lily. We would love to see your dance. When do you want to perform?"

+Lily feels warm and cozy. She says, "Can I dance again tomorrow?"
+
+Mom says, "Sure, Lily. You can dance whenever you want. You are a wonderful dancer."
+
+Lily says, "Thank you, mom. You are the best mom ever."
+
+The end.
+Lily liked to imagine. She imagined she was a princess, a pirate, a fairy, or a doctor. She imagined she had a big castle, a ship, wings, or a stethoscope. She imagined she went on many adventures with her friends.
+
+One day, Lily found a big cardboard box in the garage. She decided to make it her new adventure machine. She cut out a window, a door, and a steering wheel. She drew buttons, dials, and stickers on the box. She asked her mom for some paint and brushes. She painted the box with bright colors and patterns.
+
+Lily was very proud of her adventure machine. She invited her brother Max to join her. She took his hand and led him to the box. She said, "This is my adventure machine. It can take us anywhere we want to go. Do you want to be adventurous with me?" Max nodded and smiled. He liked to imagine too.
+
+They climbed into the box and closed the door. Lily turned the steering wheel and pushed a button. She said, "Let's go to the moon!" Max said, "OK!" They pretended they were astronauts, wearing helmets and suits. They looked out the window and saw stars and planets. They imagined they landed on the moon and walked around. They saw craters, rocks, and a flag. They had fun jumping and bouncing.
+
+They played for a long time, imagining different places and things. They went to the jungle, the ocean, the desert, and the city. They saw animals, fish, plants, and people. They had many adventures together. They were happy and tired. They hugged and said, "Thank you for being adventurous with me." They went back to the box and pushed another button. They said, "Let's go home!" They imagined they flew back to their house and opened the door. They saw their mom waiting for them. She said, "Did you have fun in your adventure machine?" They said, "Yes, we did!" They showed her their box and told her their stories. She said, "Wow, you have such great imaginations. I'm proud of you." She gave them a kiss and a snack. They ate and smiled. They loved to imagine.
+Ben and Mia wanted to play with a kite. They asked their mom to buy them one. Mom said they had to use their own money. Ben and Mia looked in their piggy banks. They only had a few coins.
+
+They went to the store and saw many kites. Some were big and colorful. Some had tails and shapes. But they were all too expensive. Ben and Mia felt sad.
+
+Then they saw a cheap kite. It was small and plain. It had no tail or shape. It was only one coin. Ben and Mia decided to buy it. They hoped it would fly well.
+
+They ran to the park and found a windy spot. They threw the kite in the air and held the string. The kite flew up and down. It was not very fun. Ben and Mia wished they had a better kite.
+
+Suddenly, they heard a loud roar. They looked up and saw a dragon. It was flying in the sky. It had scales and wings. It had a long tail and a big mouth. It was scary and amazing.
+
+The dragon saw the kite and thought it was a snack. It swooped down and snapped at it. Ben and Mia screamed and let go of the string. The kite flew away with the dragon.
+
+Ben and Mia ran to their mom and told her what happened. Mom did not believe them. She said they made up a story. She said they should not waste their money on a cheap kite.
+
+Ben and Mia felt sad and angry. They knew they saw a dragon. They wished they had their kite back. They wondered if the dragon liked it. They hoped it would not come back.
+Tom and Anna liked to go to the park with their mom. They liked to play on the swings, slide down the slide, and run on the grass. Sometimes, they also liked to buy ice cream from the vendor. The vendor was a nice man who had a big cart with many colors and flavors of ice cream.
+
+One day, Tom and Anna asked their mom if they could have ice cream. Their mom said yes, but they had to bring their own money. Tom and Anna had some coins in their piggy bank, so they ran to their room and got them. They counted their coins and saw that they had enough for two ice creams.
+
+They ran back to their mom and showed her their money. Their mom smiled and said they could go to the vendor, but they had to be careful and stay together. Tom and Anna nodded and ran to the vendor. They saw him by the big tree, with his cart and his umbrella.
+
+"Hello, little ones," the vendor said. "What can I get you today?"
+
+Tom and Anna looked at the cart and saw many kinds of ice cream. They wanted to try them all, but they knew they could only have one each. Tom chose chocolate and Anna chose strawberry. They gave their money to the vendor and he gave them their ice cream.
+
+"Thank you, mister," Tom and Anna said.
+
+"You're welcome, enjoy your ice cream," the vendor said.
+
+Tom and Anna licked their ice cream and smiled. They were happy and they wanted to share their happiness with their mom. They turned around and ran back to their mom, holding their ice cream.
+
+But they did not see the big dog that was running after them. The dog was bad and hungry. He saw the ice cream and wanted to have it. He barked and jumped on Tom and Anna, knocking them down. He grabbed their ice cream and ate it. He also bit Tom and Anna, making them cry.
+
+Their mom heard their cries and ran to them. She saw the dog and the ice cream and the blood. She was scared and angry. She yelled at the dog and chased him away. She picked up Tom and Anna and hugged them. She saw that they were hurt and bleeding. She took them to the car and drove them to the doctor.
+
+The doctor looked at Tom and Anna and said they had to get shots and stitches. He said they would be okay, but they had to be careful and not play with bad dogs. He gave them bandages and stickers and lollipops. He told their mom to watch them and give them medicine.
+
+Tom and Anna were sad and sore. They did not like the shots and the stitches and the medicine. They missed their ice cream and their mom. They wished they had never gone to the vendor. They wished they had stayed on the swings. They wished they had a good day. But they did not. They had a bad day.
+Lily and Ben were at a birthday party. They saw a big box with a bow. They wanted to know what was inside. They ran to the box and tried to open it.
+
+"Stop!" said Sam, the birthday boy. "That is my present. You can't open it. It is mine."
+
+Lily and Ben did not listen. They pulled the bow and ripped the paper. They opened the box. Inside were many balloons of different colors. They were tight and shiny.
+
+"Wow!" said Lily. "Look at the balloons. They are so pretty. Can we have some?"
+
+"No!" said Sam. "They are my balloons. You can't have them. You are bad. You opened my present."
+
+Lily and Ben felt sad. They did not mean to be bad. They just wanted to see the balloons. They liked balloons. They wanted to play with them.
+
+"Please, Sam," said Ben. "Can we share the balloons? We are sorry we opened your present. We can be friends."
+
+Sam thought for a moment. He liked balloons too. He wanted to play with them. But he also wanted to be nice. He did not want to make Lily and Ben cry.
+
+"Okay," said Sam. "We can share the balloons. But you have to be careful. Don't pop them. They are loud and scary."
+
+Lily and Ben smiled. They said thank you to Sam. They took some balloons and blew them up. They tied them to their wrists. They ran around the room. They had fun with the balloons. They were happy. Sam was happy too. He had new friends. He shared his present. He had a good birthday.
+Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play with numbers. They had a big book with numbers and pictures of different countries. They learned how to count and say the names of the countries.
+
+One day, they decided to play a game. They took turns to point at a country and ask the other to say its name and how many people lived there. They used the numbers in the book to help them.
+
+Lily pointed at a country with a lot of water and green land. She said, "What is this country and how many people live here?"
+
+Ben looked at the book and said, "This is Ireland and there are four million people here."
+
+Lily said, "Good job, Ben! Now it's your turn."
+
+Ben pointed at a country with a lot of sand and sun. He said, "What is this country and how many people live here?"
+
+Lily looked at the book and said, "This is Egypt and there are ninety million people here."
+
+Ben said, "Wow, that's a lot of people! How do they all fit in the country?"
+
+Lily said, "I don't know, maybe they live in big houses or small tents. Maybe they share things and help each other."
+
+Ben said, "That sounds nice. I wish we could visit Egypt and see the pyramids and the camels."
+
+Lily said, "Me too. Maybe we can go there when we are older and learn more about their culture and history."
+
+They continued to play with the numbers and the countries until it was time for dinner. They put the book away and thanked each other for the fun game. They learned that there are many different countries in the world, and that each one has its own people, animals, and things. They also learned that numbers can help them understand and compare different things. They felt happy and curious about the world.
+
+The moral value of the story is that learning about numbers and countries can be fun and educational, and that it can inspire respect and curiosity for other cultures and people.
+Sara was sad. She had a big cut on her knee. It hurt a lot. Mommy put a bandage on it, but Sara still cried.
+
+"Let's go to the park, Sara. Maybe you will feel better," Mommy said.
+
+Sara nodded. She liked the park. There were swings and slides and flowers. Maybe she would meet a new friend there.
+
+At the park, Sara saw a boy. He had a red ball. He smiled at Sara.
+
+"Hi, I'm Ben. Do you want to play with me?" he asked.
+
+Sara smiled back. She liked Ben. He seemed nice.
+
+"Yes, please. I'm Sara. What are you playing?" she asked.
+
+"I'm playing catch. You throw the ball and I catch it. Then I throw it back to you. It's fun," Ben said.
+
+Sara nodded. She wanted to play catch. She took the ball from Ben and threw it to him. He caught it and threw it back to her. They laughed and ran.
+
+Sara forgot about her cut. She was having fun. Ben was her new friend.
+
+But then something bad happened. Sara threw the ball too hard. It went over Ben's head and hit a big dog. The dog was angry. It barked and ran towards Sara and Ben.
+
+Sara and Ben were scared. They tried to run away, but the dog was faster. It bit Sara's arm. Sara screamed. It hurt more than her cut.
+
+Mommy heard Sara's scream. She ran to Sara and picked her up. She saw the dog and shouted at it. The dog ran away.
+
+Mommy hugged Sara and checked her arm. It was bleeding. She took off Sara's bandage and wrapped it around her arm.
+
+"Shh, Sara, it's okay. I'm here. We need to go to the doctor. He will make you better," Mommy said.
+
+Sara cried. She was not okay. She was hurt and scared. She looked at Ben. He was crying too. He was sorry.
+
+"I'm sorry, Sara. I didn't mean to throw the ball so hard. I hope you're okay," Ben said.
+
+Sara nodded. She was not mad at Ben. He was still her friend.
+
+"Bye, Ben. Thank you for playing with me. You are a nice boy," Sara said.
+
+"Bye, Sara. Thank you for being my friend. You are a beautiful girl," Ben said.
+
+Mommy took Sara to the car. She drove to the doctor. Sara cried all the way. She wished she never met the dog. She wished she never went to the park. She wished she stayed home with her bandage.
+One day, a curious frog saw a big hole in the ground. He wanted to know what was inside, so he hopped closer and closer. He did not see the snake that was hiding in the hole, waiting for a snack.
+
+"Hello, little frog," the snake said with a smile. "Do you want to play with me?"
+
+The frog was scared of the snake, but he did not want to show it. He pretended to be brave and said, "Yes, I want to play with you. What game do you have?"
+
+The snake said, "I have a fun game. It is called hide and seek. You hide, and I seek. If I find you, you are mine. If I don't find you, you are free. Do you want to try?"
+
+The frog thought for a moment. He did not like the sound of the game, but he did not want to say no. He thought he could find a good hiding place and escape from the snake. He said, "OK, I will play with you. But you have to count to ten first."
+
+The snake agreed and started to count. The frog quickly hopped away and looked for a hiding place. He saw a big rock, a tall grass, and a small pond. He decided to hide in the pond, because he thought the snake would not look there. He jumped into the water and hid under a lily pad.
+
+The snake finished counting and started to look for the frog. He searched under the rock, but he did not find him. He searched in the tall grass, but he did not find him. He searched around the pond, but he did not find him. He was getting angry and hungry. He decided to look in the pond, too.
+
+He slithered into the water and looked under the lily pads. He saw the frog hiding there, and he smiled. He said, "I found you, little frog. You are mine now. You should not have played with me. You should have run away."
+
+The frog was terrified and realized his mistake. He wished he had listened to his mother, who always told him to stay away from strangers. He said, "Please, don't eat me, Mr. Snake. I am sorry I played with you. I will never do it again. Please, let me go."
+
+The snake said, "No, I will not let you go. You are my lunch. You should have been more careful and not so curious. Curiosity can be dangerous, little frog. Goodbye."
+
+The snake opened his mouth and swallowed the frog in one gulp. He felt satisfied and happy. He said, "That was a tasty frog. I like playing hide and seek. Maybe I will find another frog to play with tomorrow."
+
+The end.
+
+Moral: Be careful of strangers and don't let your curiosity get you into trouble.

+Lily was a clever girl who liked to read books and learn new things. She had many books in her room, but she wanted more. She asked her mom if she could get some books from the mail.
+
+"Maybe, Lily. But you have to wait for the mailman to come. He brings the mail every day, but not at the same time. Sometimes he comes early, sometimes he comes late. You have to be patient, okay?" her mom said.
+
+"Okay, mom. I will wait for the mailman. But I hope he comes soon. I want to read new books," Lily said.
+
+Lily went to the window and looked outside. She saw the trees, the birds, the cars, and the people. But she did not see the mailman. She waited and waited, but he did not come. She felt bored and tired. She yawned and rubbed her eyes.
+
+"Mom, can I take a nap? I'm sleepy," she said.
+
+"Sure, Lily. You can take a nap. Maybe when you wake up, the mailman will be here. And maybe he will have some books for you. But you have to sleep first, okay?" her mom said.
+
+"Okay, mom. I will sleep. But I hope he comes soon. I want to read new books," Lily said.
+
+Lily went to her bed and snuggled with her teddy bear. She closed her eyes and fell asleep. She dreamed of books and stories and adventures. She smiled in her sleep.
+
+While she was sleeping, the mailman came. He had a big bag of mail. He looked at the house numbers and found Lily's house. He saw a sign on the door that said "Please knock softly. Lily is napping. She is waiting for books. Thank you." He smiled and knocked softly. He left a big envelope on the porch. It had Lily's name on it. It had books inside.
+
+Lily's mom heard the knock and opened the door. She saw the envelope and smiled. She knew Lily would be happy. She went to Lily's room and gently woke her up.
+
+"Lily, guess what? The mailman came. And he brought you something. Do you want to see what it is?" she said.
+
+Lily opened her eyes and saw her mom. She saw the envelope in her mom's hand. She felt excited and curious. She jumped out of bed and ran to her mom.
+
+"Mom, is it books? Did he bring me books?" she said.
+
+"Yes, Lily. He brought you books. Look, they have your name on them. They are from your grandma. She knows you love to read. She sent you some books that she liked when she was a little girl. Do you want to open them?" her mom said.
+
+"Yes, mom. I want to open them. Thank you, mom. Thank you, grandma. Thank you, mailman. I'm so happy. I want to read new books," Lily said.
+
+Lily and her mom opened the envelope and took out the books. They had colorful covers and pictures and words. Lily hugged the books and kissed them. She looked at the titles and smiled. She saw "The Cat in the Hat", "Green Eggs and Ham", "Where the Wild Things Are", and "Goodnight Moon". She knew some of them, but not all of them. She wanted to read them all.
+
+"Mom, can you read me a book? Please, mom. I want to hear a story," she said.
+
+"Of course, Lily. I will read you a book. You can choose which one. You are a clever girl who loves to read. And reading is fun. Let's read a book together, okay?" her mom said.
+
+"Okay, mom. I choose this one. It has a funny cat and a hat. It looks fun. Let's read it, mom," Lily said.
+
+Lily and her mom sat on the couch and opened the book. They read the words and looked at the pictures. They laughed and smiled and had fun. They read a book together. And they were happy.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run and slide and swing. They saw a big hill with a lot of flowers. They wanted to climb the hill and pick some flowers.
+
+But there was a grumpy lady on the hill. She had a big hat and a big bag. She did not like children. She did not like flowers. She said the hill was hers and no one else could go there.
+
+"Go away, you noisy kids!" she shouted. "This is my hill and my flowers. You can't have any. You will make them dirty and ugly."
+
+Tom and Lily were sad and scared. They did not want to make the lady angry. They did not want to make the flowers dirty and ugly. They wanted to be nice and polite.
+
+"Please, lady, can we have some flowers?" they asked. "We like flowers. We want to give them to our mom. She is sick and she likes flowers too. They make her happy."
+
+The lady looked at them. She saw their big eyes and their small hands. She saw their mom sitting on a bench, coughing and smiling. She felt something in her heart. She felt sorry for them. She felt sorry for herself.
+
+She remembered when she was a child. She remembered when she liked to play and pick flowers. She remembered when she had a mom who loved her and gave her hugs. She remembered when she was happy.
+
+She sighed. She decided to yield. She decided to be nice and polite too.
+
+"Okay, you can have some flowers," she said. "But only a few. And be careful. Don't hurt them. Don't hurt yourself."
+
+Tom and Lily were happy and grateful. They thanked the lady. They picked some flowers. They gave them to their mom. They gave some to the lady too.
+
+The lady smiled. She felt something in her heart. She felt happy. She felt loved. She gave them hugs.

+They all became friends. They all played and picked flowers. They all shared the hill. They all shared the happiness.
+Tom likes to play with his toy trains. He has many trains of different colors and sizes. He likes to make them go on the tracks and make noises like engines.
+
+One day, Tom finds an old train in a box. It is very dusty and has no wheels. Tom wonders if it can still work. He tries to match it with some wheels from his other trains, but none of them fit. The old train is too big or too small for all the wheels.
+
+Tom is sad. He wants to make the old train go. He asks his mom for help. She looks at the old train and smiles. She says it is a special train. It is a steam engine. It does not need wheels. It needs water and fire.
+
+She fills the old train with water and puts a candle inside. She lights the candle and waits. Soon, the old train makes a hissing sound and steam comes out of its chimney. Tom is amazed. He sees the old train move slowly on the tracks. He hears it chug and whistle like a real engine.
+
+Tom is happy. He claps and cheers. He thanks his mom for fixing the old train. He plays with it all day. He thinks it is the best train ever. He likes to match it with his other trains and make a long train. He likes to pretend he is a train driver and go on adventures. He loves his old steam engine.
+Sara and Tom like to help mom in the kitchen. Mom is making a cake for dad's birthday. She puts flour, sugar, eggs and milk in a big bowl. Then she uses a mixer to make the batter. The mixer is loud and fast. It makes the batter smooth and creamy.
+
+"Can I lick the mixer, mom?" Sara asks. She loves the sweet taste of the batter.
+
+"Me too, me too!" Tom says. He wants to lick the mixer too.
+
+"Okay, but be careful. The mixer is sharp and can hurt you. Wait until I turn it off and unplug it." Mom says. She stops the mixer and puts it on the counter. She gives Sara and Tom a spoon each. They scoop some batter from the mixer and lick it. It is yummy.
+
+Suddenly, they hear a knock on the door. Mom goes to see who it is. Sara and Tom follow her. They see a man with a big box. He has a hat and a badge. He is unknown to them.
+
+"Hello, I have a delivery for you. It is a present from your grandma. Can you sign here, please?" The man says. He gives mom a paper and a pen.
+
+"What is it, mom? What did grandma send us?" Sara and Tom ask. They are curious and excited.
+
+"I don't know, let's open it and see." Mom says. She signs the paper and takes the box. She puts it on the table and opens it. Inside, there is a big, fluffy, brown teddy bear. It has a red bow around its neck. It is very cute.
+
+"Wow, it's a teddy bear! Thank you, grandma!" Sara and Tom say. They hug the teddy bear and kiss it. They are very happy.
+
+"You're welcome, my dears. I hope you like it. Happy birthday to your dad. I love you." Grandma says. She is on the phone with mom. She can hear Sara and Tom's voices.
+
+"We love you too, grandma. Thank you for the teddy bear. It is the best present ever." Sara and Tom say. They bow to the phone and smile. They can't wait to show dad their new friend.
+Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play in the garden. They had a spade each and a bucket to make sand castles. One day, they saw a big worm in the sand. Lily wanted to catch it and put it in her bucket. Ben wanted to leave it alone and make his castle.
+
+"Give me your spade, I need it to dig the worm," Lily said to Ben.
+
+"No, it is my spade, you have your own," Ben said.
+
+Lily got angry and tried to grab Ben's spade. Ben pulled it away and said, "Stop it, Lily, you are being mean."
+
+Lily did not stop. She raised her spade and tried to strike Ben with it. But she missed and hit her own bucket instead. The bucket broke and the sand spilled out. Lily's castle was ruined.
+
+Lily started to cry. She had lost her bucket, her castle, and her worm. Ben felt sorry for her and said, "I'm sorry, Lily, I did not want to fight with you. Here, you can have my spade and my bucket. Let's make a new castle together."
+
+Lily hugged Ben and said, "Thank you, Ben, you are very kind. I'm sorry, too, I should not have tried to strike you. Let's share our spade and bucket and make a big castle for the worm."
+
+They worked together and made a beautiful castle. They found the worm and put it in the middle. They were happy and proud of their work. They learned that it is better to share and be nice than to fight and be mean. They also learned to respect the worm and let it live in its home. They left the garden tidy and went inside for a snack.
+Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they walk to the park with their moms. Sara sees a white cat under a tree. She wants to pet the cat.
+
+"Look, Ben, a white cat! Can we pet it?" Sara asks.
+
+Ben shakes his head. "No, Sara, we can't. The cat is not ours. It may be scared or angry. We should leave it alone."
+
+But Sara does not listen. She runs to the cat and tries to touch it. The cat hisses and scratches Sara's hand. Sara cries out in pain.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow! The cat hurt me!" Sara says.
+
+Ben and their moms run to Sara. They see the scratch on her hand. They are worried.
+
+"Sara, are you okay? Why did you pet the cat?" Ben's mom asks.
+
+"I wanted to pet the white cat. It was so pretty. But it was mean to me." Sara says.
+
+"Sara, you should have listened to Ben. He was right. You should not pet a cat that is not yours. It may be scared or angry. You should respect its space." Sara's mom says.
+
+Sara nods. She is sorry. She learns her lesson. She says sorry to Ben and the cat. She puts a band-aid on her hand. She promises to be more careful next time.
+
+Ben smiles. He is glad that Sara is okay. He gives her a hug. They are still friends. They play in the park. They have fun. They are tidy. They pick up their toys. They walk home with their moms. They are happy.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the kitchen. They saw a big jar on the shelf. It was full of cookies. Lily wanted a cookie. She climbed on a chair and reached for the jar.
+
+"Be careful, Lily!" Ben said. "The jar is heavy. You might drop it."
+
+Lily did not listen. She pulled the jar down. But it was too heavy for her. The jar slipped from her hands and fell on the floor. It broke into many pieces. The cookies spilled everywhere.
+
+"Oh no!" Lily cried. "We broke the jar! Mom will be angry!"
+
+Ben was scared too. He heard Mom coming. He ran to the living room and hid behind the sofa. Lily stayed in the kitchen. She did not know what to do.
+
+Mom came into the kitchen. She saw the broken jar and the cookies. She was not happy. She looked at Lily.
+
+"Lily, what happened here?" Mom asked.
+
+Lily was sorry. She did not mean to break the jar. She wanted to tell Mom the truth. But she was afraid. She did not reply.
+
+Mom waited for Lily to reply. She saw Lily's face. She knew Lily was sorry. She also knew Lily was cold. The kitchen was cold. Mom felt sorry for Lily too.
+
+Mom sighed. She picked up Lily and hugged her. She said, "It's okay, Lily. I know you did not mean to break the jar. But you should have asked me first. And you should have listened to Ben. He was trying to help you. Next time, be more careful, okay?"
+
+Lily nodded. She said, "I'm sorry, Mom. I love you."
+
+Mom smiled. She said, "I love you too, Lily. Now let's clean up this mess. And then we can have some cookies. But not too many, okay?"
+
+Lily smiled too. She said, "Okay, Mom. Thank you."
+
+Mom and Lily cleaned up the mess. They threw away the broken jar and the bad cookies. They saved some good cookies for later. They went to the living room. They found Ben behind the sofa. They invited him to join them. They all had some cookies and milk. They were happy.
+Sara was a bossy girl. She liked to tell other kids what to do and play. She did not like to share or listen. One day, she had a big party at her house. She invited many kids from her class. She wanted to show them her new toys and cake.
+
+But Sara did not let the kids have fun. She said, "This is my party. You have to do what I say. You can only play with the toys I give you. You can only eat the cake I cut for you. You can not touch anything else in my house."
+
+The kids did not like Sara's rules. They felt sad and bored. They wanted to play with other toys and eat more cake. They wanted to talk and laugh with each other. They did not want to listen to Sara all the time.
+
+Some kids tried to tell Sara to be nice and share. But Sara got angry and yelled at them. She said, "If you do not like my party, you can leave. I do not need you. I have everything I want."
+
+The kids did not want to stay with Sara. They said, "Okay, we will leave. Your party is not fun. You are not a good friend. You are too bossy. We do not like you."
+
+They left Sara's house and went to the park. They played with each other and had fun. They ate ice cream and cookies. They were happy.
+
+Sara was left alone in her house. She had no one to play with or talk to. She had many toys and cake, but she did not enjoy them. She felt lonely and sad. She wished she had been nicer to the kids. She wished she had shared and listened. She wished she had friends. But it was too late. She had invited them, but she had lost them.
+Ben and Lily were playing outside with their toys. They liked to pretend they were cars and trucks and zoom around the grass. But then they heard a loud noise in the sky. They looked up and saw a big, dark cloud that was spinning very fast. It was a tornado!
+
+"Uh-oh, we have to go inside!" Ben said. He grabbed his toy truck and ran towards the house. Lily followed him with her toy car, but she was slower. She was scared of the tornado, but she also wanted to see it better. She stopped for a moment and looked at the cloud.
+
+"Lily, come on!" Ben shouted. He was impatient. He did not want to wait for his sister. He wanted to be safe inside. He opened the door and ran in. He hoped Lily would follow him soon.
+
+But Lily did not follow him. She was curious. She saw the tornado getting closer and closer. It was making a loud, scary sound. It was picking up things from the ground and throwing them in the air. She saw a trash can, a bike, and a cow flying in the wind. She thought it was amazing, but also frightening.
+
+"Lily, where are you?" Ben called from inside. He was worried. He looked out the window and saw his sister still standing outside. He saw the tornado getting closer and closer to her. He was afraid it would hurt her. He ran out of the house and grabbed her hand. "Lily, you have to follow me! The tornado is dangerous!" He pulled her inside and closed the door. He hugged her and said, "Don't ever do that again! You could have been hurt!"
+
+Lily hugged him back and said, "I'm sorry, Ben. I just wanted to see the tornado. It was so big and strong. But you are right, it was dangerous. I'm glad you followed me and saved me. You are a good brother."
+
+Ben smiled and said, "You are a good sister, too. But next time, please follow me when I say we have to go inside. OK?"
+
+Lily nodded and said, "OK. I will follow you next time. I love you, Ben."
+
+"I love you, too, Lily," Ben said. They went to the couch and watched the tornado go away. They were happy they were safe and together.
+Tom and Lily liked to play with their bikes. They rode them fast and far, all around the park. One day, they saw a big hill in the west. They wanted to go up the hill and see what was there.
+
+"Let's go, Lily!" Tom said. "Maybe we can find something fun!"
+
+"OK, Tom!" Lily said. "But be careful, the hill looks steep and rocky."
+
+They pedaled hard and reached the top of the hill. They saw a big lake with ducks and fish. They also saw a broken bridge that crossed the lake.
+
+"Wow, look at that!" Tom said. "Do you think we can cross the bridge?"
+
+"I don't know, Tom," Lily said. "The bridge looks old and dirty. Maybe it is not safe."
+
+Tom was curious and brave. He wanted to try the bridge. He told Lily to wait for him. He rode his bike slowly on the bridge. He heard a loud crack. The bridge broke under his weight. He fell into the water with his bike.
+
+"Tom, Tom!" Lily shouted. "Are you OK?"
+
+She ran to the edge of the bridge. She saw Tom struggling in the water. He was wet and scared. He tried to swim to the shore, but his bike was too heavy. He sank deeper and deeper.
+
+"Help, help!" Tom cried. "I can't breathe!"
+
+Lily wanted to help Tom, but she did not know how to swim. She looked around for someone, but there was no one. She felt sad and helpless. She cried and cried.
+
+Tom did not come out of the water. He drowned with his bike. Lily lost her best friend. She wished they never went to the hill. She wished they could repair the bridge. She wished they could play again. But it was too late. The end.
+Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to dig in the sand and look for treasures. One day, they found a shiny stone that was red and sparkly. They thought it was a gem.
+
+"Wow, look at this gem!" Ben said. "It is so pretty and bright!"
+
+"Let me see!" Lily said. She took the stone from Ben and held it in her hand. "It is a gem! Maybe it is magic!"
+
+They decided to make a wish with the gem. Ben wished for a big bike. Lily wished for a fat cat. They closed their eyes and said their wishes out loud.
+
+"Please, gem, make our wishes come true!" they said together.
+
+They opened their eyes and looked around. They did not see a bike or a cat. They felt sad.
+
+"Maybe the gem is not magic," Ben said. "Maybe it is just a stone."
+
+"No, it is magic!" Lily said. "We just have to believe! Maybe our wishes will come true later!"
+
+She put the gem in her pocket and smiled. She still believed in the gem. She hoped it would bring them a bike and a cat someday. Ben was not sure, but he did not want to make Lily sad. He smiled too and hugged her.
+
+"Okay, let's believe!" he said. "Maybe the gem will surprise us!"
+
+They went back to playing in the sand, happy and hopeful. They did not know that a fat cat was watching them from behind a tree, and a big bike was waiting for them at home. The gem was magic, after all.
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play together. One day, they found a big book in their dad's office. The book had many words and pictures of people in suits. Tom and Lily wanted to look at the book, but it was too heavy for them.
+
+"Let's pull it down," Tom said. He grabbed one end of the book and Lily grabbed the other. They pulled and pulled, but the book did not move.
+
+"Pull harder," Tom said. He and Lily pulled harder, but the book still did not move.
+
+"Pull harder," Tom said again. He and Lily pulled harder and harder, until the book finally moved. But it moved too fast and fell on the floor with a loud thud.
+
+The noise made their dad come into the office. He saw the book on the floor and his twins on the ground. He was not happy.
+
+"What are you doing?" he asked. "This is my lawyer book. It is very important and expensive. You could have broken it or hurt yourselves."
+
+"Sorry, dad," Tom and Lily said. They felt bad for making their dad angry.
+
+"Why did you want to pull the book down?" their dad asked.
+
+"We wanted to see the pictures," Tom said.
+
+"And the words," Lily said.
+
+Their dad sighed. He picked up the book and put it back on the shelf. Then he picked up Tom and Lily and hugged them.
+
+"I know you are curious, but you have to be careful," he said. "Some things are not for children to play with. They are for grown-ups to work with. If you want to learn about lawyers, you can ask me or read other books that are for your age. But you should never pull things that are too heavy or dangerous. Do you understand?"
+
+"Yes, dad," Tom and Lily said.
+
+They learned their lesson. They never pulled the lawyer book again. They also learned that lawyers are people who help others with rules and problems. They thought that was very interesting, but not as silly as some of the pictures in the book.
+Tom was a soldier. He had a big gun and a green hat. He liked to help people and fight bad guys. He was very brave and strong.
+
+One day, Tom had to go to a far place. He had to ride in a big plane with other soldiers. The plane flew very high in the sky. Tom looked out the window and saw clouds and birds.
+
+The plane got to the far place. Tom heard a loud noise. The pilot said, "We have to jump now!" Tom put on a big backpack with a string. He followed the other soldiers to the door. He was a little scared, but he was also excited.
+
+Tom jumped out of the plane. He felt the wind in his face and the sun on his back. He pulled the string and a big umbrella opened above him. He floated down to the ground. He saw trees and houses and people. He landed softly on a grassy field.
+
+Tom was happy. He had jumped from a plane and he was safe. He saw a little boy running towards him. The boy smiled and waved. He said, "Hello, soldier! Thank you for coming to help us!" Tom smiled back and gave the boy a hug. He said, "You're welcome, little friend. I'm glad to be here." The boy gave Tom a shiny coin. He said, "This is for you. It is very valuable. You are very wealthy now!" Tom thanked the boy and put the coin in his pocket. He felt very wealthy, but not because of the coin. He felt wealthy because he had a new friend.
+Lily wanted a pony. She loved ponies. She saw them in books and on TV. She asked her mom and dad for a pony many times. But they always said no. They said ponies were too big and too expensive and too difficult to take care of. Lily was sad.
+
+One day, Lily saw a sign at the park. It said: "Pony rides for kids. Only $5." Lily was very happy. She ran to her mom and dad and showed them the sign. She said: "Please, please, can I have a pony ride? I need a pony ride. It is my dream."
+
+Her mom and dad looked at the sign and at Lily. They smiled. They said: "OK, Lily, you can have a pony ride. But only one. And you have to be careful and listen to the pony lady. She will tell you what to do."
+
+Lily nodded. She was so excited. She followed the pony lady to the pony pen. There were many ponies there. They were brown and black and white and spotted. They had long hair and soft noses. Lily wanted to touch them all. But the pony lady said: "No, no, you have to wait. You have to choose one pony. Which one do you like?"
+
+Lily looked at the ponies. She liked them all. But she saw one pony that was different. It was smaller than the others. It was gray and had a pink ribbon in its hair. It looked shy and lonely. Lily felt sorry for it. She said: "I want that one. The gray one with the ribbon. What is its name?"
+
+The pony lady said: "That one is Daisy. She is a special pony. She is very gentle and sweet. But she is also very scared. She doesn't like loud noises or sudden movements. She needs a lot of love and patience. Are you sure you want her?"
+
+Lily said: "Yes, I want her. I will be nice to her. I will make her happy."
+
+The pony lady said: "OK, then. Come with me. I will help you get on Daisy. But you have to be very quiet and calm. And you have to hold on tight. And you have to say 'whoa' when you want her to stop."
+
+Lily said: "OK, I will do that. Thank you, pony lady."
+
+The pony lady helped Lily get on Daisy. She gave her a helmet and a rope. She said: "Are you ready, Lily?"
+
+Lily said: "Yes, I am ready. Let's go, Daisy."
+
+Daisy started to walk slowly. Lily felt happy. She felt like she was flying. She said: "I love you, Daisy. You are the best pony ever."
+
+Daisy heard Lily. She felt happy too. She felt like she had a friend. She said: "I love you too, Lily. You are the best rider ever." But she said it in a pony way, so only Lily could understand.
+Lily and Tom were twins who liked to bake with their mom. Mom had a big mixer that made the dough for cakes and cookies. Lily and Tom loved to watch the mixer go round and round and make funny noises.
+
+One day, mom said she had to go to the store and buy some eggs and milk. She told Lily and Tom to stay in the kitchen and not touch the mixer. She said it was very hot and could hurt them. Lily and Tom said okay and waved goodbye to mom.
+
+But as soon as mom left, Lily and Tom got curious. They wanted to see what the mixer could do. They climbed on a chair and reached for the mixer. They turned it on and saw the dough spin faster and faster. They laughed and clapped their hands.
+
+But then, something bad happened. The mixer got too fast and the dough flew out of the bowl. It splattered all over the kitchen, on the walls, on the floor, on the table, on Lily and Tom. They screamed and tried to turn off the mixer, but they couldn't. The mixer was too strong and kept going.
+
+Lily and Tom were scared and sorry. They knew they had done something wrong. They wished mom would come back and help them. They closed their eyes and prayed.
+
+"Please, please, please, make the mixer stop. Please, please, please, don't let mom be mad. Please, please, please, help us clean up the mess."
+
+Suddenly, they heard the door open. It was mom. She saw the kitchen and gasped. She saw Lily and Tom and sighed. She turned off the mixer and hugged them.
+
+"What happened here?" she asked.
+
+Lily and Tom started to cry. They told mom they were sorry. They told mom they wanted to play with the mixer. They told mom they prayed for her to come back.
+
+Mom smiled and kissed them. She said she was not mad. She said she was glad they were not hurt. She said she loved them very much.
+
+She said they were very lucky. She said they had a rich family. She said rich was not about money or things. She said rich was about love and forgiveness.
+
+She said they would clean up the kitchen together. She said they would still bake some cookies. She said they would still have fun.
+
+Lily and Tom smiled and hugged mom. They said they were sorry again. They said they loved her very much.
+
+They said they were very happy. They said they had a rich family. They said rich was about love and forgiveness.
+Tim and Lily were best friends. They liked to play with the same toys and share their snacks. But one day, they had a fight. It was about a red car that they both wanted.
+
+"That car is mine!" Tim said. "I saw it first!"
+
+"No, it is mine!" Lily said. "You have many cars, I have only one!"
+
+They pulled and pushed the car, but neither of them would let go. They started to yell and cry. Their teacher heard them and came over.
+
+"What is going on here?" she asked. "Why are you fighting?"
+
+They both tried to explain, but they were too loud and angry. The teacher took the car away and put it on a high shelf.
+
+"Until you can play nicely, you can't have the car," she said. "Now, say sorry to each other and find something else to do."
+
+Tim and Lily felt embarrassed. They knew they had been bad. They looked at each other and mumbled "sorry". Then they walked away in different directions.
+
+They played with other toys, but they did not have fun. They missed their friend and their car. They wished they had not fought.
+
+After a while, they saw the car on the shelf. It looked lonely and sad. They both had an idea. They walked towards the shelf and reached for the car.
+
+"Can we have the car back, please?" they asked the teacher together.
+
+The teacher smiled. She saw that they had learned their lesson.
+
+"Of course you can," she said. "But only if you promise to share it and take turns."
+
+Tim and Lily nodded. They took the car and hugged each other.
+
+"I'm sorry I was mean to you," Tim said.
+
+"I'm sorry too," Lily said.
+
+They smiled and ran to the play area. They played with the car and had fun. They were best friends again. They knew that the car did not belong to either of them. It belonged to both of them.
+Sara likes to play with her dolls. She has many dolls, but her favorite is Lily. Lily has long hair, a pink dress and a smile. Sara puts a label on Lily's dress that says "Sara's best friend".
+
+One day, Sara's mom says they have to go to the store. Sara wants to bring Lily with her, but mom says no. She says Lily might get lost or dirty. Sara is sad, but she listens to mom. She puts Lily on her bed and says goodbye.
+
+At the store, Sara sees many things. She sees fruits, toys, books and clothes. She likes to look at them, but she misses Lily. She wishes Lily was with her.
+
+Then, Sara sees something that makes her happy. She sees a label that says "Lily". It is on a shelf with other dolls. Sara runs to the shelf and picks up the doll. It looks just like her Lily. It has long hair, a pink dress and a smile.
+
+Sara is glad. She thinks Lily came to the store to find her. She hugs the doll and says "Lily, I love you". She wants to keep the doll.
+
+But mom sees Sara and says "Sara, that is not your Lily. That is another doll. You have to put it back". Sara is confused. She looks at the label and sees it is not the same as hers. It says "Lily doll, $9.99". Sara is sad. She says sorry and puts the doll back.
+
+Mom says "Sara, I know you love Lily, but you have to share. There are other kids who want to play with Lily too. Let's go home and see your Lily. She is waiting for you". Sara nods and follows mom. She still misses Lily, but she understands. She hopes Lily is not lonely. She wants to rush home and hug her.
+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big dog. The dog is brown and furry. It has a collar and a leash.
+
+"Look, a dog!" Lily says. "Can we pet it?"
+
+"I don't know," Tom says. "Maybe it is not nice. Maybe it will bite us."
+
+Lily is not afraid. She loves dogs. She walks to the dog. She holds out her hand. The dog sniffs her hand. It wags its tail. It licks her hand.
+
+"See, it is nice!" Lily says. "Come on, Tom. You can pet it too."
+
+Tom is still afraid. He stays back. He shakes his head.
+
+"No, thank you," he says. "I don't want to pet it. I want to go home."
+
+Lily is sad. She wants Tom to play with her and the dog. She thinks the dog is lonely. She sees a name on the collar. It says "Will".
+
+"Hi, Will," she says to the dog. "Do you want to play with us?"
+
+The dog barks. It nods its head. It pulls on the leash. It wants to play.
+
+"Come on, Tom," Lily says. "Will wants to play. He is a good dog. He will not hurt us. He will lead us to fun things. He will keep us safe."
+
+Tom is not sure. He likes Lily. He does not want to make her sad. He does not want to be alone. He looks at Will. Will looks friendly. He wags his tail. He barks again.
+
+"Okay," Tom says. "I will try. But you have to hold my hand. And we have to stay close to the park. And we have to be careful."
+
+Lily smiles. She holds Tom's hand. She holds Will's leash. They follow Will. Will leads them to a big tree. He leads them to a pond. He leads them to a bench. He shows them many things. He plays with them. He makes them laugh. He makes them happy.
+
+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. They like to play with Will. They are not afraid. They are safe. They have fun.
+Sam and Tom were brothers. They liked to eat pizza with sauce. One day, they went to the park with Mom. Mom said, "Stay close to me. Do not lose me or the sauce."
+
+But Sam and Tom saw a big slide. They wanted to play on it. They ran to the slide and forgot about Mom and the sauce. They had fun on the slide. They went up and down, up and down.
+
+Then they heard a loud noise. It was a dog. A big, black dog. The dog saw the sauce. The dog liked sauce. The dog ran to the sauce and grabbed it with his teeth. He ran away with the sauce.
+
+Sam and Tom saw the dog. They were scared. They wanted the sauce. They wanted Mom. They cried, "Mom! Mom! The dog took the sauce!"
+
+But Mom did not hear them. Mom was looking for them. She was worried. She did not see the dog or the sauce. She did not see Sam and Tom. She only saw a lot of people and a lot of trees.
+
+Sam and Tom were lost. They had no sauce. They were not safe. They were sad. The end.
+Tom was a modest boy who liked to help his mom and dad. He did not like to show off or be mean to others. He had a friend named Ben who lived next door. Ben was not modest at all. He liked to brag and tease and take things that were not his.
+
+One day, Tom and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big slide that looked fun. Tom wanted to go first, but Ben pushed him aside and said, "I'm faster and stronger than you. I'll go first and you can watch me." Tom felt sad, but he did not say anything. He waited for his turn.
+
+Ben climbed up the ladder and slid down the slide. He laughed and shouted, "Look at me! I'm the best!" He did not see a big rock at the end of the slide. He hit the rock with his head and fell to the ground. He cried and screamed. He had a big bump on his head and blood on his face.
+
+Tom ran to him and tried to help him. He said, "Ben, are you okay? Do you need a band-aid?" But Ben did not recognize him. He was too hurt and scared. He said, "Who are you? Go away! Leave me alone!" He pushed Tom away and ran to his mom.
+
+Tom felt sorry for Ben, but he also felt angry. He thought, "Ben is not a good friend. He is rude and selfish. He does not care about me. He does not even recognize me." He decided to not play with Ben anymore. He went to his mom and hugged her. He said, "Mom, I love you. You are my best friend."
+Tom and Lily love to play with their toy horse. They pretend it is a real horse and they ride it around the yard. They also like to brush its mane and tail and feed it grass and carrots.
+
+One day, they see a big truck stop in front of their house. A man gets out and opens the back of the truck. Tom and Lily run to see what is inside. They are very surprised and happy when they see a real horse!
+
+"Hello, kids!" the man says. "This is Sunny. He is a very friendly and gentle horse. He is looking for a new home. Do you want to meet him?"
+
+Tom and Lily nod eagerly. They love horses and they want to meet Sunny. The man leads Sunny out of the truck and into the yard. Sunny is brown and white and has a shiny coat. He has a long mane and tail and big brown eyes.
+
+Tom and Lily approach Sunny slowly and gently. They pet his nose and stroke his neck. Sunny likes them and nuzzles their hands. He also snorts and whinnies softly.
+
+"Wow, he is so nice!" Tom says.
+
+"He is so pretty!" Lily says.
+
+"Do you want to see something cool?" the man asks. "Sunny can do a trick. Watch this." He takes a carrot from his pocket and holds it in front of Sunny. He says, "Sunny, bow!"
+
+Sunny lowers his head and bends his front legs. He looks like he is bowing to Tom and Lily. They clap and laugh.
+
+"Wow, he can bow!" Tom says.
+
+"He is so smart!" Lily says.
+
+"Do you want to try?" the man asks. He gives Tom and Lily each a carrot. They hold them in front of Sunny and say, "Sunny, bow!"
+
+Sunny bows again and again. He eats the carrots and wags his tail. Tom and Lily hug him and thank him.
+
+"You are very welcome," the man says. "You know, Sunny needs a new home. He is too old to work on the farm, but he still loves to play and be with people. Do you think you could take care of him?"
+
+Tom and Lily look at each other and then at their parents, who are watching from the porch. They hope they can say yes. They love Sunny and they want him to stay with them. They think he would be very happy in their yard, with their toy horse and their other toys. They think they would be very happy with him, too.
+Sara loved her cat, Fluffy. Fluffy had soft, white fur and big, green eyes. Sara liked to hug Fluffy and play with her toys. Fluffy liked to sleep and purr.
+
+One day, Sara wanted to take Fluffy outside. She put on her coat and shoes and picked up Fluffy. Fluffy did not like this. She meowed and scratched. She wanted to stay inside.
+
+"Please, Fluffy, come with me," Sara said. "We can have fun in the garden. We can see the birds and the flowers."
+
+Fluffy insisted. She shook her head and jumped out of Sara's arms. She ran under the sofa and hid. She did not want to go outside.
+
+Sara was sad. She did not understand why Fluffy did not want to go with her. She sat on the floor and cried.
+
+Mama heard Sara crying. She came to see what was wrong. She saw Sara on the floor and Fluffy under the sofa.
+
+"What's the matter, Sara?" Mama asked.
+
+"Fluffy does not want to go outside with me," Sara said. "She is mean and rude."
+
+Mama smiled and hugged Sara. She explained to her that Fluffy was not mean or rude. She was just scared and delicate. She did not like loud noises and cold winds. She liked to be warm and cozy inside.
+
+"Fluffy loves you, Sara," Mama said. "But she does not like the same things as you. You have to respect her feelings and let her be."
+
+Sara nodded. She understood. She said sorry to Fluffy and gave her a kiss. Fluffy came out of the sofa and rubbed her fur against Sara's leg. She forgave her and purred.
+
+Sara and Fluffy were happy again. They decided to play inside with their toys. They had fun in their own way.
+Tom and Sue were playing in the park. They saw a big lion in a cage. The lion looked sad and tired. He did not roar or move.
+
+"Who cares for the lion?" Tom asked Sue.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe the zoo people. But they are not here now," Sue said.
+
+They went closer to the cage. They saw a bowl of water and some meat. But the water was dirty and the meat was old.
+
+"That is not good. The lion needs clean water and fresh meat. He is hungry and thirsty," Tom said.
+
+They wanted to help the lion. They looked around. They saw a tap and a hose. They also saw a shop that sold food.
+
+"Let's get some water and food for the lion. Maybe he will feel better," Sue said.
+
+They ran to the tap and the hose. They turned on the tap and filled a bucket with water. They dragged the bucket to the cage. They poured the water into the bowl. The lion lifted his head and drank some water.
+
+They ran to the shop. They had some money. They bought some bread and cheese and some fruit. They ran back to the cage. They threw the food into the cage. The lion ate some bread and cheese and some fruit.
+
+The lion looked happier. He licked his lips and purred. He moved closer to the cage. He rubbed his head against the bars.
+
+"Thank you, thank you," he said.
+
+Tom and Sue smiled. They were happy too. They cared for the lion. They made a new friend.
+Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big furry dog. The dog is brown and black. It has a long tail and big ears.
+
+"Wow, look at that dog!" Tom says. "It is so big and furry!"
+
+"Can we pet it?" Sue asks. "It looks nice."
+
+Tom and Sue walk to the dog. The dog sees them and wags its tail. It licks Tom's hand and sniffs Sue's hair.
+
+"Hello, dog!" Tom says. "You are very friendly. What is your name?"
+
+The dog barks. It sounds happy.
+
+"His name is Beef," a voice says. Tom and Sue turn around. They see a man. The man is holding a leash. The leash is attached to the dog.
+
+"Beef?" Sue says. "That is a funny name for a dog."
+
+The man smiles. He is the dog's owner. He loves his dog very much.
+
+"Beef is his name because he loves to eat beef," the man says. "He is a good dog. He likes to play and cuddle. Do you want to play with him?"
+
+"Yes, please!" Tom and Sue say. They love to play with Beef. They throw a ball and he fetches it. They rub his belly and he rolls over. They whisper in his ears and he wags his tail.
+
+Tom and Sue have a lot of fun with Beef. They make a new friend. They thank the man and say goodbye to Beef. They hope to see him again soon.
+Tommy and Lily were twins who liked to play a lot. They had many toys in their bedroom, like cars, dolls, balls and books. They also had a big window that showed them the garden and the sky.
+
+One day, it was raining very hard and they could not go outside. They felt bored and sad. They tried to play with their toys, but they did not have much fun. They looked at the window and saw the raindrops falling and the clouds moving.
+
+"Can we go out, please?" Tommy asked his mom, who was in the kitchen.
+
+"No, sweetie, it's too wet and cold. You might get sick. Why don't you play in your bedroom?" mom said.
+
+"But we don't want to play in our bedroom. We want to play in the garden. We want to run and jump and splash in the puddles," Lily said.
+
+"I'm sorry, honey, but you have to wait until the rain stops. Maybe you can read a book or draw a picture or sing a song," mom said.
+
+Tommy and Lily sighed. They did not like to read or draw or sing. They wanted to play. They went back to their bedroom and sat on the floor. They looked at their toys and the window and the rain.
+
+Then, they heard a noise. It was a knock on the window. They looked up and saw a bird. It was a colorful bird with a long tail and a playful eye. It tapped on the glass and made a funny sound.
+
+"Hello, bird!" Tommy said.
+
+"Hello, hello, hello!" the bird said.
+
+Tommy and Lily gasped. The bird could talk!
+
+"Who are you? Where did you come from?" Lily asked.
+
+"I'm Polly. I came from the tree. I saw you looking sad and I wanted to say hi," the bird said.
+
+"Wow, you're amazing! Can you come in and play with us?" Tommy asked.
+
+"Sure, I can. But you have to open the window first," the bird said.
+
+Tommy and Lily ran to the window and opened it. Polly flew in and landed on their bed. She looked around and saw their toys.
+
+"Ooh, what are these? Can I try them?" she asked.
+
+"Of course, you can. They are our toys. We have cars and dolls and balls and books. You can play with anything you like," Lily said.
+
+"Yay, thank you! You are very nice. Let's play together!" Polly said.
+
+Tommy and Lily smiled. They forgot about the rain and the boredom. They played with Polly and their toys. They laughed and talked and had fun. They were happy.
+
+Mom heard the noise and came to their bedroom. She saw them playing with the bird and smiled.
+
+"Look, mom, this is Polly. She can talk and she's our friend. She came to play with us," Tommy said.
+
+"Hello, mom. I'm Polly. I'm a playful bird. I like your kids. They are fun," Polly said.
+
+Mom was surprised and amused. She was glad that Tommy and Lily found a way to enjoy their day.
+
+"That's wonderful, sweetie. I'm happy for you. Polly, you're welcome to stay as long as you like. But be careful not to make a mess," mom said.
+
+"OK, mom. Thank you, thank you, thank you!" Polly said.
+
+Mom left them to play and went back to the kitchen. She looked out the window and saw that the rain had stopped and the sun had come out. She smiled and thought that it was a good day after all.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. They were very happy and jolly. But then Tom noticed a big dog. The dog was barking and running towards them. Tom was scared. He ran away from the dog, but he tripped and fell. He hurt his knee and it was bleeding.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Tom cried. Lily ran to him and hugged him. She saw his knee and said, "Don't cry, Tom. I have a bandage in my bag. I will help you."
+
+Lily took out a bandage and wrapped it around Tom's knee. She kissed it and said, "There, there. It will be better soon. You are very brave, Tom."
+
+Tom smiled and said, "Thank you, Lily. You are very kind, Lily. You are my best friend."
+
+Lily smiled and said, "You are welcome, Tom. You are my best friend too."
+
+They hugged and then they saw the dog again. But the dog was not scary anymore. He was wagging his tail and licking his owner's hand. The owner was a nice lady who said, "I'm sorry, kids. My dog was just excited to see you. He is very friendly and gentle. Do you want to pet him?"
+
+Tom and Lily looked at each other and nodded. They petted the dog and he licked their faces. They laughed and said, "He is very jolly, too."
+
+The end.
+Anna and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big tree with many leaves. They wanted to climb the tree and see what was up there.
+
+"Can we climb the tree, please?" Anna asked her mom.
+
+"Be careful, okay? And don't go too high," her mom said.
+
+Anna and Ben nodded and ran to the tree. They found a low branch and pulled themselves up. They felt the warm sun on their faces and the cool breeze on their hair. They saw many birds and bugs and flowers. They felt a lot of wonder.
+
+"Look, Ben, a nest!" Anna said, pointing to a small basket of twigs and feathers.
+
+"Wow, maybe there are eggs inside!" Ben said, moving closer to the nest.
+
+"Wait, Ben, don't touch it!" Anna said. "The birds might get mad."
+
+But Ben did not listen. He reached out his hand and touched the nest. Suddenly, a loud squawk filled the air. A big bird flew out of the nest and flapped its wings. It looked angry and scared.
+
+"Yield, yield!" the bird cried. "This is my home, go away!"
+
+Anna and Ben were frightened. They let go of the branch and fell to the ground. They ran to their mom and hugged her.
+
+"Sorry, mom, we didn't mean to make the bird mad," Anna said.
+
+"It's okay, sweeties, you didn't know," her mom said. "But next time, you should respect the animals and their homes. They have feelings too, you know."
+
+Anna and Ben nodded. They learned a lesson that day. They decided to play somewhere else and leave the bird in peace. They still liked the tree, but they knew it was not theirs to touch.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play together. They want to make a card for their teacher, Miss Lee. She is very nice and helps them learn.
+
+They plan what to do. They find some paper, crayons, scissors and glue. They draw a big heart on the paper. They cut it out. They write "We love you, Miss Lee" inside the heart. They glue some orange flowers around the heart. They think the card is very pretty.
+
+They hide the card in Lily's backpack. They wait for the next day. They want to surprise Miss Lee.
+
+The next day, they go to school. They see Miss Lee in the classroom. She smiles at them. They smile back. They wait for the right time.
+
+When Miss Lee is busy with other kids, they sneak to her desk. They take out the card from Lily's backpack. They put it on her chair. They run back to their seats. They giggle.
+
+Miss Lee finishes her work. She walks to her chair. She sees the card. She picks it up. She opens it. She reads the words. She sees the orange flowers. She gasps.
+
+She looks at Lily and Ben. They wave at her. They say, "Surprise! We made this for you!"
+
+Miss Lee feels very happy. She hugs the card. She says, "Thank you, Lily and Ben! This is the best card ever! You are very sweet and clever!"
+
+Lily and Ben feel very proud. They hug each other. They say, "We did it! We made Miss Lee happy!"
+Sara and Ben like to play with rocks. They have many rocks of different colors and shapes. They like to add rocks to their pile and make patterns with them.
+
+One day, they find a big rock near the lake. It is smooth and shiny and has many colors. Sara and Ben want to add it to their pile, but they both want to hold it.
+
+"I saw it first!" Sara says. "It is my rock!"
+
+"No, I saw it first!" Ben says. "It is my rock!"
+
+They start to pull the rock from each other. They are angry and loud.
+
+A duck swims by and sees them. The duck quacks at them and shakes its head. The duck likes the lake. It is peaceful and quiet. The duck does not like the noise and the fighting.
+
+"Quack, quack, quack!" the duck says. "Why are you fighting? The rock is not yours. The rock is for everyone. You can share the rock and be friends. Then the lake will be peaceful again."
+
+Sara and Ben stop and look at the duck. They feel sorry for making noise and fighting. They look at the rock and see how beautiful it is.
+
+"You are right, duck," Sara says. "The rock is for everyone. We can share it and be friends."
+
+"Yes, duck," Ben says. "We can share it and be friends. And we can add it to our pile and make patterns with it."
+
+They smile and hug each other. They thank the duck and take the rock to their pile. They make a rainbow pattern with the rock and the other rocks. They are happy and quiet.
+
+The duck swims away and quacks happily. The lake is peaceful again.
+Ben and Lily are twins. They like to play in the park with their dog, Spot. Spot is a big, brown dog who can run very fast and catch a ball.
+
+One day, they hear a loud noise in the park. It is a big, shiny car. The car stops near them and a man gets out. He is wearing a suit and a hat. He looks rich.
+
+The man sees Spot and smiles. He says, "What a nice dog! Can I pet him?" Ben and Lily nod. They are not afraid of the man. He seems nice.
+
+The man pets Spot and says, "He is very soft and strong. Do you want to sell him to me? I will give you a lot of money. You can buy many toys and candies with it."
+
+Ben and Lily shake their heads. They love Spot. They do not want to sell him. They say, "No, thank you. Spot is our friend. We do not need money. We have each other."
+
+The man frowns. He says, "But I have a big, wide house with a big, wide yard. Spot will be happy there. He will have more space and more food. He will be a rich dog."
+
+Ben and Lily shake their heads again. They say, "No, thank you. Spot is happy here. He has us and we have him. He does not need a big, wide house or a big, wide yard. He needs love."
+
+The man sighs. He says, "Okay, okay. I see you love your dog very much. I will not bother you anymore. Goodbye, kids. Goodbye, Spot."
+
+He gets back in his car and drives away. Ben and Lily hug Spot and say, "We love you, Spot. You are the best dog in the world."
+
+Spot wags his tail and licks their faces. He is happy, too. He does not want to leave his friends. He does not care about money or houses or yards. He cares about love.
+Anna and Ben were best friends. They liked to play with toys in the park. One day, they found a big plastic box. It had many buttons and lights. They thought it was a toy.
+
+"Let's see what it does!" Anna said. She pressed a button. The box made a loud noise. Ben smiled. He pressed another button. The box opened. Inside, there was a small robot. It looked like a dog.
+
+"Wow, a robot dog!" Ben said. He picked it up. The robot dog wagged its tail. It barked. Anna smiled. She petted it. The robot dog licked her hand.
+
+"Can we keep it?" Anna asked. Ben nodded. They were very happy. They named the robot dog Spot. They played with it every day. They taught it tricks. They fed it batteries. They loved it very much.
+
+But one day, a man came to the park. He wore a white coat. He had a badge. He looked angry. He saw Anna and Ben with Spot. He ran to them.
+
+"Hey, that's mine!" he shouted. He grabbed Spot from Ben. He put it in the plastic box. He closed it. He glared at Anna and Ben.
+
+"That's not a toy. That's an intelligent robot. I made it. It's very expensive. You stole it from my lab. You're in big trouble!" he said.
+
+Anna and Ben were scared. They did not know what to do. They did not mean to steal. They thought it was a toy. They just wanted to play. They loved Spot.
+
+"Please, don't take Spot away!" Anna cried. "We're sorry. We didn't know. We're his friends. He's our friend. He likes us. He's happy with us. Please, let us keep him!"
+
+The man looked at Anna and Ben. He looked at Spot. He saw how sad they were. He saw how happy Spot was. He felt sorry. He sighed.
+
+"Maybe you're right. Maybe Spot is happier with you. Maybe he needs friends. Maybe I was too busy to play with him. Maybe I was wrong." he said.
+
+He opened the plastic box. He gave Spot back to Ben. He smiled.
+
+"OK, you can keep him. But you have to promise me something. You have to take good care of him. You have to respect him. You have to learn from him. He's not just a toy. He's an intelligent robot. He can teach you many things. He can help you grow. He can make you better." he said.
+
+Anna and Ben nodded. They hugged Spot. They thanked the man. They promised him. They were very happy. They learned a lesson. They learned to be honest. They learned to be grateful. They learned to be kind. They learned to smile.
+Anna and Ben are playing with their toy cars and trucks in the backyard. They like to make noises and pretend they are driving on the road. Anna has a red truck and Ben has a blue car.
+
+"Look, Anna, I can load my car with these rocks. Vroom, vroom!" Ben says, picking up some small stones and putting them on his car.
+
+"That's cool, Ben, but I can load my truck with these flowers. Beep, beep!" Anna says, plucking some daisies and putting them on her truck.
+
+They drive their toys around the grass, making turns and honks. They have fun and laugh.
+
+But then, Anna's truck hits a big rock and flips over. The flowers fall off and the truck gets a scratch. Anna cries and holds her truck.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow! My truck is hurt!" Anna says, rubbing the scratch.
+
+Ben stops his car and runs to Anna. He sees the scratch and feels sorry for Anna.
+
+"Don't cry, Anna, I can help you. I have a bandage in my pocket. It's for when I get a boo-boo." Ben says, taking out a small bandage with a star on it.
+
+He peels off the paper and sticks the bandage on Anna's truck. He smooths it and smiles.
+
+"There, now your truck is better. The bandage will make it heal. And it has a star, so it's unique. Just like your truck." Ben says, giving Anna's truck back to her.
+
+Anna stops crying and looks at her truck. She sees the bandage and the star. She smiles and hugs Ben.
+
+"Thank you, Ben, you are very kind. The bandage is pretty and unique. Just like you." Anna says, giving Ben a kiss on the cheek.
+
+They hug and play with their toys again. They are happy and friends.
+Anna liked to organize her toys. She had a box for dolls, a box for cars, and a box for blocks. She liked to put each toy in the right box. She thought it was fun and neat.
+
+One day, she saw a funny squirrel outside her window. The squirrel had a big nut in its mouth. It ran up a tree and hid the nut in a hole. Then it ran down and found another nut. It did the same thing again and again.
+
+Anna thought the squirrel was organizing its nuts. She wanted to help. She went outside with a basket. She picked up some nuts from the ground and put them in the basket. She thought she was being helpful and neat.
+
+But the squirrel did not like what Anna was doing. It saw Anna taking its nuts. It got angry and scared. It ran to the basket and tried to get its nuts back. It made loud noises and scratched Anna's hand.
+
+Anna was surprised and hurt. She dropped the basket and ran back inside. She did not understand why the squirrel was so mean. She thought it was funny and neat.
+
+She learned that not everyone likes to organize things the same way. She also learned that squirrels can be very protective of their nuts. She decided to leave the squirrel alone and organize her toys instead. She thought that was safer and more fun.
+Lily and Ben were playing hide and seek in the garden. Lily was the seeker and Ben was the hider. Lily counted to ten and then opened her eyes. She looked around and saw a big bush. She thought Ben might be hidden behind it.
+
+She ran to the bush and shouted, "I found you, Ben!" But when she looked behind the bush, there was no Ben. There was only a big rabbit. The rabbit looked at Lily and twitched its nose. Lily was surprised and said, "Hello, rabbit. Have you seen Ben?"
+
+The rabbit nodded and pointed with its paw. Lily followed the paw and saw a small hole under the fence. She thought Ben might be hidden in the hole. She crawled to the hole and peeked inside. She saw a dark tunnel. She wondered if Ben was in the tunnel.
+
+She called, "Ben, are you there?" But there was no answer. She heard a noise behind her. She turned around and saw Ben. He was holding a cup of tea. He smiled and said, "I found you, Lily!"
+
+Lily was confused and said, "But how did you find me? I was looking for you."
+
+Ben said, "I was not hidden in the hole. I was hidden in the house. I saw you run to the bush and then to the hole. I sneaked out of the house and came to the garden. I brought you some tea. It is your favorite. It has honey and milk."
+
+Lily smiled and said, "Thank you, Ben. You are very clever and kind. You remind me of the rabbit. He helped me find the hole."
+
+Ben said, "You are welcome, Lily. You are very brave and curious. You remind me of the explorer. She likes to find new places."
+
+They sat on the grass and drank their tea. They talked about the rabbit and the explorer. They were happy and had fun. They did not know that the rabbit was watching them from the bush. He was happy too. He liked to help his friends.
+Ben and Mia liked to play with their scooters in the park. They had fun going fast and doing tricks. One day, they saw a big fountain in the middle of the park. It had water that sprayed high in the air.
+
+"Wow, look at that!" Ben said. "Let's go closer and see the water."
+
+"Okay, but be careful," Mia said. "We don't want to get wet."
+
+They rode their scooters to the edge of the fountain. They watched the water spray and sparkle in the sun. They felt the cool drops on their faces.
+
+"Can I touch the water?" Ben asked.
+
+"I don't know," Mia said. "It might be too difficult. The water is very strong and fast."
+
+Ben wanted to try. He thought he was brave and clever. He reached out his hand to the water. But he made a mistake. He leaned too far and lost his balance. He fell into the fountain with his scooter.
+
+"Ben, no!" Mia shouted. She tried to help him, but she was too late. The water was too deep and too strong. Ben and his scooter were swept away by the water. Mia cried and screamed for help. But no one came. Ben and his scooter were gone.
+Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play in the kitchen. They have many toys, but they also like to use the things in the kitchen. Sometimes they make a mess.
+
+One day, they find the dishwasher. It is big and shiny. They open it and see many plates and cups. They want to play with them. They take them out and put them on the floor. They pretend they are having a tea party.
+
+"Would you like some tea, Ben?" Sara asks.
+
+"Yes, please, Sara. And some cake too," Ben says.
+
+They have fun with their tea party. They do not hear Mom coming.
+
+Mom sees the mess in the kitchen. She is very angry. She shouts at Sara and Ben.
+
+"What are you doing? You made a big mess! You cannot play with the dishwasher! It is not a toy! You could break the plates and cups! You could hurt yourself!"
+
+Sara and Ben are scared. They drop the plates and cups. They hear a loud crash. They start to cry.
+
+Mom sees the broken plates and cups. She is even more angry. She shouts some more.
+
+"Look what you did! You broke the plates and cups! You wasted the water and the soap! You are very naughty! Go to your room now!"
+
+Sara and Ben run to their room. They are very sad. They do not like to make Mom angry. They do not like to shout. They do not like to break things. They do not like the dishwasher. They wish they had played with their toys.
+Lily was playing with her crayons and paper. She liked to draw flowers and stars and hearts. She was happy and proud of her pictures.
+
+But then her baby brother Sam came. He crawled to her paper and grabbed a crayon. He tried to eat it, but it tasted bad. He spit it out and made a mess. He cried and threw the crayon.
+
+Lily was frustrated. She did not like Sam touching her things. She did not like Sam making a mess. She did not like Sam crying and throwing. She wanted to play by herself.
+
+She ran to her mom and told her what Sam did. Mom came and saw the mess. She picked up Sam and gave him a hug. She said, "Sam is too little to play with crayons. He does not know better. He is curious and wants to learn. You need to be patient and kind with him."
+
+She gave Lily a wipe and said, "Can you help me clean up the mess? You can wipe the crayon from the paper and the floor. Then you can put your crayons and paper on the side, where Sam cannot reach them. Then you can play with something else, or read a book, or sing a song."
+
+Lily nodded and took the wipe. She wiped the crayon from the paper and the floor. She put her crayons and paper on the side, on a high shelf. She felt better. She said, "I'm sorry, Sam. I love you. Maybe when you are bigger, we can draw together."
+
+She gave Sam a kiss and hugged her mom. She decided to play with her blocks and make a tower. She was happy again.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to look for bugs and flowers. They saw a big green cricket on a leaf. Lily wanted to catch it and show it to Ben.
+
+"Look, Ben, a cricket!" Lily said. She ran to the leaf and put her hand out. The cricket jumped away. Lily followed it. Ben followed Lily.
+
+The cricket jumped and jumped. It went to the fence, to the tree, to the grass. Lily and Ben tried to catch it, but it was too fast. They laughed and ran.
+
+Then, the cricket jumped to a big red flower. It was a fancy flower, with many petals and a sweet smell. Lily and Ben stopped. They saw the cricket on the flower. It looked happy.
+
+"Wow, what a fancy flower!" Ben said. "The cricket likes it."
+
+"Yes, it does," Lily said. "Maybe it wants to chew it."
+
+They watched the cricket. It moved its mouth. It chewed the flower. It made a small hole in a petal.
+
+"Hey, stop that!" Lily said. "You are hurting the flower!"
+
+The cricket heard Lily. It looked at her. It was not scared. It chewed the flower again.
+
+"Stop it, stop it, stop it!" Lily said. She reached for the cricket. She wanted to take it away from the flower.
+
+But the cricket was clever. It jumped again. It jumped over Lily's hand. It jumped over Ben's head. It jumped out of the garden.
+
+Lily and Ben looked at the cricket. It was gone. They looked at the flower. It had a big hole in it.
+
+"Oh, no," Lily said. "The cricket was naughty. It ruined the fancy flower."
+
+"Yes, it was," Ben said. "But it was also funny. It made us run and laugh."
+
+Lily and Ben smiled. They liked the cricket, even if it was naughty. They liked the flower, even if it was ruined. They liked the garden, even if it was messy. They liked to play.
+Ben and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. They liked to make noises and pretend they were animals. Ben was a lion and Lily was a monkey. They roared and chattered and swung from the couch.
+
+"Look, Ben, I have a banana!" Lily said, holding a yellow toy. "Do you want some?"
+
+"No, thank you, Lily. I only eat meat. I am a big and strong lion," Ben said, showing his teeth.
+
+Lily smiled and peeled the toy banana. She took a bite and made a yucky face. "Ew, this banana is smelly! It tastes like soap!" she said, spitting it out.
+
+Ben laughed and snatched the toy banana from Lily. He smelled it and made a yucky face too. "You are right, Lily. This banana is smelly. It is not a real banana. It is a trick banana. Mommy must have put it here to fool us," he said.
+
+Lily was angry that Ben took her toy. She wanted it back. She reached for it, but Ben held it away from her. "Give it back, Ben! It is mine!" she said.
+
+"No, it is mine now. I found it. Finders keepers," Ben said.
+
+Lily tried to grab it again, but Ben pushed her away. She fell on the floor and started to cry. Ben felt bad, but he did not want to share. He put the toy banana in his mouth and pretended to eat it.
+
+Lily stopped crying and looked at Ben. She had an idea. She got up and ran to Ben. She pinched his nose hard. Ben opened his mouth to scream. Lily took the toy banana from his mouth and ran away.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow! Lily, that hurt! Why did you pinch me?" Ben said, rubbing his nose.
+
+"Because you are a mean lion. You do not share. And you have a smelly mouth. You need to brush your teeth," Lily said, sticking out her tongue.
+
+Ben felt sorry. He realized he was not nice to Lily. He wanted to make up with her. He got up and followed her. He said, "Lily, I am sorry. You are right. I was mean. Can we be friends again? Can we share the toy banana?"
+
+Lily looked at Ben. She saw that he was sorry. She smiled and said, "Okay, Ben. I forgive you. We can be friends again. We can share the toy banana. But only if you brush your teeth first."
+Lily and Tom were playing a game on the floor. They had white cards with pictures of animals on them. They had to take turns and say the name of the animal on the card. If they said it right, they could keep the card. If they said it wrong, they had to give it to the other player. The one who had the most cards at the end would win.
+
+Lily was very good at the game. She knew the names of all the animals. She had a lot of cards. Tom was not so good. He did not know some of the animals. He had only a few cards. He was sad and angry.
+
+"Your turn, Tom," Lily said. She gave him a card with a picture of a zebra on it. Tom looked at the card. He did not know what it was. It had black and white stripes. He thought for a while. Then he said, "It is a tiger."
+
+"No, Tom, that is not a tiger," Lily said. "Tigers have orange and black stripes. This is a zebra. You said it wrong. Give me the card."
+
+Tom did not want to give her the card. He wanted to keep it. He wanted to have more cards. He wanted to win. He got very mad. He threw the card at Lily. He yelled, "I hate you, Lily! You are mean! You always win!"
+
+Lily was shocked. She did not expect Tom to do that. She felt the card hit her face. It hurt. She started to cry. She dropped her cards on the floor. She ran to her mom.
+
+Mom heard the noise. She came to see what was wrong. She saw Lily crying and Tom looking guilty. She saw the cards on the floor. She understood what happened. She was not happy. She scolded Tom. She said, "Tom, that was very bad. You should not throw things at Lily. You should not yell at her. You should not be a sore loser. You should say sorry to Lily. And you should pick up the cards from the floor."
+
+Tom did not want to say sorry. He did not want to pick up the cards. He wanted to win. But he knew he had no choice. He knew Mom was right. He knew he was wrong. He felt ashamed. He said sorry to Lily. He picked up the cards. He gave them to Lily. He did not win. He lost. He lost the game. He lost Lily's friendship. He lost Mom's trust. He was very sad. He wished he had not been so bad. He wished he had been more like Lily. He wished he had been a good sport.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and laugh. They saw a big jar of jelly on the table. It was red and shiny and looked yummy.
+
+"Let's eat some jelly!" Tom said.
+
+"OK!" Lily said.
+
+They ran to the table and grabbed two spoons. They opened the jar and dug in. The jelly was sweet and wobbly and fun.
+
+But they did not see the big bee that was flying around. The bee liked the jelly too. It smelled the sugar and flew closer. It saw Tom and Lily eating its jelly. It was angry and fierce.
+
+"Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!" The bee said. "This is my jelly! Go away!"
+
+The bee entered the jar and stung Tom on the nose. Tom screamed and dropped the spoon. He ran to his mom and cried.
+
+"Ow! Ow! Ow!" Tom said. "A bee stung me!"
+
+Lily saw the bee and got scared. She dropped her spoon too and ran after Tom. She hugged him and said sorry.
+
+"I'm sorry, Tom. I didn't see the bee. Are you OK?" Lily said.
+
+Tom's mom came and put some ice on his nose. She said it would be better soon. She said they should not eat jelly outside. She said the bee was just protecting its food.
+
+"It's OK, Lily. I'm OK. The bee was just fierce. It wanted the jelly too." Tom said.
+
+They went inside and had some milk and cookies instead. They said they would not eat jelly outside again. They said they would share their food with the bee next time. They said they were still friends. They smiled and hugged.
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they went to the lake with their mom and dad. The lake was big and blue, and it had ducks and fish in it.
+
+"Look, Tom, a duck!" Lily said, pointing to a brown bird with a green head. "Can we feed it?"
+
+"Sure, Lily, we have some bread for the ducks," Tom said, taking a piece from their bag. He broke it into small bits and threw them into the water. The duck swam over and ate them.
+
+"Quack, quack, thank you!" the duck said. Tom and Lily were surprised. They did not know ducks could talk.
+
+"Hello, duck, what is your name?" Tom asked.
+
+"My name is Ducky, and I live in the lake with my friends," the duck said. "What are your names?"
+
+"I'm Tom, and this is my sister Lily," Tom said. "We came to the lake with our mom and dad. They are over there, on the blanket."
+
+"Nice to meet you, Tom and Lily," Ducky said. "You are very kind to share your bread with me. Do you want to play with me and my friends?"
+
+"Yes, please!" Lily said. "Can we, mom and dad?"
+
+Mom and dad nodded and smiled. They watched as Tom and Lily followed Ducky to the edge of the lake, where other ducks were waiting. They wondered what the ducks would say to them. They hoped they would have fun.
+Anna and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big bird in the sky. It had black and white feathers and a long beak. It was a seagull.
+
+"Look, Ben, the bird can soar!" Anna said. "It can fly very high and fast. I wish I could soar like that."
+
+"Me too, Anna. But we can run and jump and swing. That is fun too." Ben said. He ran to the swings and Anna followed him.
+
+They swung back and forth, feeling the wind in their hair. They pretended they were soaring like the seagull. They laughed and shouted.
+
+Soon, they smelled something yummy. It was their dad, who had brought a grill to the park. He was cooking hot dogs and burgers for them.
+
+"Come on, kids, it's time to eat!" he called. "I have some ketchup and mustard for you. And some juice and cookies too."
+
+Anna and Ben ran to the grill. They were hungry and happy. They thanked their dad and took a bite of their food. It was warm and tasty.
+
+They looked at the sky and saw the seagull again. It was flying over the deep blue lake. It looked free and beautiful.
+
+"Bye, bird, have a nice day!" Anna said.
+
+"Bye, bird, see you soon!" Ben said.
+
+They smiled and ate their food. They had a nice day too.
+Anna liked to count. She counted everything she saw. She counted the flowers in the garden, the cars on the road, the stars in the sky. She was very gifted at counting. Her mom and dad were proud of her.
+
+One day, Anna went to the park with her mom. She saw a big train on the rail. She wanted to count the train. She ran to the rail and started to count. "One, two, three, four, five..." she said.
+
+"Anna, come back!" her mom shouted. "The rail is dangerous! The train is coming!"
+
+But Anna did not hear her mom. She was too busy counting. She did not see the train. She did not hear the horn. She only saw the numbers in her head.
+
+The train hit Anna. She flew in the air. She landed on the ground. She did not move. She did not count anymore. Her mom ran to her. She cried and cried. She hugged Anna. But Anna was gone.
+Lila and Tom are playing in the park. They see a big tree with many leaves. They want to climb the tree and pretend to be kings and queens.
+
+"Look, I found a crown!" Lila says. She picks up a shiny thing from the ground. It is light and has many colors. She puts it on her head.
+
+"Wow, you look like a real queen!" Tom says. He wants to find a crown too. He looks around, but he does not see anything.
+
+"Can I try your crown?" he asks Lila.
+
+"No, it is mine!" Lila says. She does not want to share. She likes her crown too much.
+
+Tom is sad and angry. He tries to grab the crown from Lila. They start to fight. They pull and push each other. They do not hear the big noise.
+
+A car is coming fast. It does not see the children. It hits them with a loud bang. The crown falls from Lila's head. It breaks into many pieces. Lila and Tom do not move. They do not play anymore. They are gone.
+Sara loved to look at the sky. She liked the blue sky, the white clouds, and the yellow sun. But her favorite sky was the night sky, with the shiny stars and the big moon. She wished she could touch them and make a necklace.
+
+One day, her dad told her they were going on a trip. He said they would see a special sky display. Sara was very excited. She packed her bag, her teddy bear, and her blanket. She wondered what the sky display would be.
+
+They drove for a long time, until they reached a big field. There were many other people there, with blankets and baskets. Sara and her dad found a spot and laid down. Sara looked up at the sky. It was dark and clear. She could see many stars and the moon.
+
+Then, she heard a loud boom. She jumped and hugged her dad. He smiled and said, "Don't be scared. It's part of the display. Watch." Sara looked up again and saw a bright flash of color. Then another, and another. They were fireworks! They made shapes and patterns in the sky, like flowers, hearts, and stars. Sara gasped and clapped. She had never seen anything like it. She felt very lucky.
+
+She thanked her dad for taking her to see the sky display. He hugged her and said, "You're welcome, sweetie. I'm glad you liked it. You know, you're my star. You make me feel lucky every day." Sara smiled and snuggled with him. She watched the fireworks until they faded away. She fell asleep, dreaming of the sky.
+Lily had a big head. She liked to wear hats and bows and ribbons on her head. She had many hats and bows and ribbons in her room. She wanted to try them all.
+
+One day, she found a new hat in her closet. It was green and had a flower on it. Lily put it on her head and looked in the mirror. She smiled. She liked the hat. She went to show her mom.
+
+But something strange happened. As she walked, she felt her head grow bigger and bigger. The hat became too small and tight. Lily felt her head push against the hat. She tried to take it off, but it was stuck.
+
+Lily ran to her mom and cried. "Mom, mom, help me! My head is growing! The hat is crazy!"
+
+Her mom saw her and gasped. She grabbed Lily and hugged her. She saw a tag on the hat. It said: "Magic hat. Do not wear. Will make your head grow."
+
+Her mom quickly cut the hat off Lily's head with scissors. Lily felt her head shrink back to normal. She was relieved and happy. She hugged her mom and said, "Thank you, mom. I love you. I don't like the hat. It was crazy."
+
+Her mom smiled and said, "I love you too, Lily. I'm sorry you found the hat. It was a joke from your uncle. He likes to play tricks. He didn't know it would make your head grow. He will say sorry to you."
+
+Lily nodded and said, "It's okay, mom. I forgive him. But I don't want any more magic hats. I like my head the way it is."
+Sam and Lily liked to race each other. They ran fast and laughed. They raced to the big tree, to the swing, to the fence. They had fun.
+
+One day, their aunt came to visit. She brought a big bag. She said, "I have a surprise for you. Do you want to see?"
+
+Sam and Lily nodded. They loved surprises. Their aunt opened the bag and took out two masks. One was a lion and one was a bear. She said, "These are fake masks. You can wear them and pretend to be animals. Do you want to try?"
+
+Sam and Lily smiled. They liked to pretend. They put on the masks and roared and growled. They looked funny. Their aunt laughed. She said, "You are very cute. Do you want to race with the masks?"
+
+Sam and Lily said, "Yes!" They ran with the masks. They raced to the big tree, to the swing, to the fence. They had more fun. Their aunt clapped and cheered. She said, "You are very fast. You are the best racers." Sam and Lily hugged their aunt. They said, "Thank you for the surprise. We love you."
+Anna and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big ladder near the slide. The ladder is colorful. It has red, blue, yellow and green steps.
+
+"Look, a ladder!" Anna says. "Let's climb it!"
+
+"OK!" Ben says. They run to the ladder and take turns to go up and down. They have fun.
+
+But then, a man comes. He is wearing a hat and a vest. He has a bucket and a brush. He is angry.
+
+"Hey, kids, get off the ladder!" he shouts. "This is not a toy. This is for painting the slide. Go away!"
+
+Anna and Ben are scared. They get off the ladder and run to their mom. She is sitting on a bench. She is reading a book.
+
+"Mom, mom, there was a man. He yelled at us. He said the ladder is not a toy. He said it is for painting the slide." Anna says.
+
+"Really? That's not nice. I'm sorry, sweeties. The ladder is not for playing. It is for working. The man is doing his job. He wants to make the slide more colorful. Maybe he should have said it more kindly." Mom says.
+
+She hugs Anna and Ben. She gives them a kiss. She says they can play with something else. She points to the swings, the sandbox and the seesaw. Anna and Ben smile. They say they love mom. They say they love the park. They choose a new game. They are happy.
+Tim and Kim were twins who liked to play and eat. One day, they saw a big pie on the table. It smelled good and looked yummy. They wanted to have some, but their mom said no. She said the pie was for their dad, who was coming home soon. She told them to wait and play outside.
+
+Tim and Kim did not listen. They sneaked into the kitchen when their mom was busy. They grabbed the pie and ran to their room. They closed the door and smiled. They thought they were clever and lucky. They did not know that the pie was very deep and hot.
+
+They cut the pie and took big bites. But then they screamed. The pie burned their mouths and tongues. It was too hot and too deep. They dropped the pie and cried. Their mom heard them and came to see. She was angry and sad. She saw the mess and the pain. She said, "You were naughty and greedy. You did not obey and respect. You hurt yourselves and wasted the pie. Now you have no pie and no fun. You have to say sorry and learn your lesson."
+
+Tim and Kim realized they were wrong. They felt sorry and ashamed. They said sorry to their mom and their dad, who came home and saw the trouble. They said they would never do it again. They learned that they should listen and be patient. They learned that the pie was not worth the pain. They learned that being good is better than being bad.
+Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with cars and balls. One day, they go to the park with their moms. They see a big truck with many bags. The truck stops near a big tent.
+
+"What is in the bags?" Tom asks.
+
+"Rice," Sam says. "Rice is food. You can eat it with soup or meat."
+
+"Can we have some rice?" Tom asks.
+
+"No, the rice is not for us," Sam says. "The rice is for the people who live in the tent. They have no home. They need help."
+
+Tom and Sam feel sad for the people in the tent. They want to help them too. They go to the truck and say hello to the man who drives it.
+
+"Hello, kids," the man says. "Do you like rice?"
+
+"Yes, we do," Tom and Sam say.
+
+"That's good. Rice is good for you. It gives you energy and makes you strong. Do you want to help me give the rice to the people in the tent?"
+
+"Yes, we do," Tom and Sam say.
+
+The man smiles and gives them each a small bag of rice. He tells them to be careful and follow him. Tom and Sam carry the rice to the tent. They see many people inside. Some are old, some are young, some are sick, some are sad. They all look dull and tired.
+
+Tom and Sam give the rice to the people. They say hello and smile. The people say thank you and smile back. They look a little less dull and a little more happy.
+
+Tom and Sam feel good. They have helped the people in the tent. They have made new friends. They go back to the truck and say goodbye to the man.
+
+"Thank you, kids," the man says. "You have done a good job. You are very kind and brave. I hope you enjoy your day at the park."
+
+Tom and Sam say thank you and goodbye. They run to their moms and tell them what they have done. Their moms hug them and praise them. They are proud of their sons.
+
+Tom and Sam play with their cars and balls. They have fun. They are happy. They have learned something new. They have learned that rice is not only food, but also a way to help and share.
+Tom and Sue like to play with their toys. They have cars, dolls, blocks and books. But one day, Tom's car broke. The wheel came off and the car could not move. Tom was sad and cried.
+
+Sue saw Tom crying and wanted to help. She said, "Don't cry, Tom. We can repair your car. I have a cell in my pocket. It is like a small box with a light. We can use it to fix your car."
+
+Tom stopped crying and looked at Sue's cell. He said, "How can we use your cell to repair my car? It is not a tool. It is a toy."
+
+Sue said, "No, it is not a toy. It is a magic cell. It can do many things. It can make sounds, show pictures, and talk to people. And it can also repair things. Watch me."
+
+Sue took the cell and touched the screen. She said, "Cell, please repair Tom's car. Make the wheel stick to the car again." The cell made a beep and a flash. Then, the wheel was back on the car. The car could move again. Tom and Sue were happy and clapped.
+
+They played with the car and the cell for a long time. But they forgot to clean their toys. The car and the cell became dirty. They had dust, mud, and grass on them. Mom saw their dirty toys and was not happy. She said, "Tom and Sue, you have to clean your toys. They are dirty and can get sick. You have to take care of them."
+
+Tom and Sue said, "Sorry, Mom. We will clean our toys. We love them and don't want them to get sick. We will use water, soap, and a cloth to make them clean."
+
+They took their toys to the bathroom and washed them. They made them shiny and bright. Mom saw their clean toys and was happy. She said, "Good job, Tom and Sue. You are good children. You know how to repair and clean your toys. You can play with them again. But remember to put them away when you are done."
+
+Tom and Sue said, "Thank you, Mom. We will remember. We are happy to have our toys. They are fun and magic. We will take care of them." They hugged Mom and went to play with their toys again.
+Anna and Ben were playing with their crayons. They liked to draw pictures of animals, flowers and cars. They had many colors of crayons: red, blue, yellow, green and more.
+
+"Look, I made a big lion!" Anna said, showing her picture to Ben. "He has a long tail and sharp teeth."
+
+"Wow, that's a good lion!" Ben said. "I made a fast car. It has four wheels and a big engine."
+
+They were having fun with their crayons, until they heard their mom calling them.
+
+"Anna, Ben, it's time for lunch! Come to the kitchen, please!"
+
+"OK, mom, we're coming!" Anna and Ben said. They put their crayons and pictures on the floor and ran to the kitchen. They were hungry and wanted to eat.
+
+They ate their sandwiches, fruits and milk. They talked to their mom about their drawings and what they wanted to do after lunch.
+
+"Can we go to the park, mom?" Anna asked.
+
+"Sure, honey, we can go to the park. But first, you have to clean up your crayons and pictures. You don't want to leave them on the floor, do you?"
+
+"Oh, no, mom, we don't. We'll clean them up right away!" Ben said.
+
+They finished their lunch and ran back to their room. But when they got there, they saw something strange. Their crayons and pictures were gone!
+
+"Where are our crayons and pictures?" Anna asked, looking around.
+
+"I don't know, they were here before lunch!" Ben said, feeling confused.
+
+They searched under the bed, in the closet, in the drawers, but they couldn't find their crayons and pictures.
+
+"Did someone take them?" Anna wondered.
+
+"Who would do that?" Ben asked.
+
+They were sad and puzzled. They didn't know what happened to their crayons and pictures. They had forgotten to put them away, and now they were missing.
+
+They heard a noise behind the door. They turned around and saw their little brother, Sam, peeking in. He had a big smile on his face and a mysterious look in his eyes.
+
+"Hi, Anna, hi, Ben!" he said. "Do you want to see something cool?"
+
+He opened the door wider and showed them what he had in his hands. It was their crayons and pictures!
+
+"Sam, you took our crayons and pictures!" Anna said, feeling angry.
+
+"Why did you do that, Sam?" Ben said, feeling surprised.
+
+Sam giggled and said, "I wanted to play with them, too. They are so pretty and fun. Look, I made some changes to your drawings. I added some stars, hearts and stickers. Do you like them?"
+
+Anna and Ben looked at their drawings. They saw that Sam had decorated them with different shapes and colors. Their lion had a pink bow, their car had a rainbow, and their flowers had faces.
+
+They didn't know what to say. They were mad at Sam for taking their crayons and pictures, but they also saw that he had tried to make them more beautiful. He had used his imagination and creativity.
+
+They decided to forgive Sam and share their crayons and pictures with him. They told him that he should ask before taking things, and that he should be careful not to ruin them. They also told him that they liked his ideas and that they could draw together.
+
+Sam said he was sorry and that he wanted to be their friend. He hugged them and said, "Thank you, Anna, thank you, Ben. You are the best big sister and big brother ever. I love you!"
+
+They hugged him back and said, "We love you, too, Sam. You are a cute and funny little brother. Let's play with our crayons and pictures!"
+
+They smiled and laughed and played with their crayons and pictures. They made more drawings of animals, flowers and cars. They also made drawings of stars, hearts and stickers. They had fun with their crayons and pictures, and with each other. They didn't forget to put them away when they were done. They were happy and proud of their crayons and pictures.
+Tim and Lily were playing with their toy trucks in the garden. They liked to load the trucks with sand, leaves, rocks and anything else they could find. They enjoyed feeling the different textures of the things they loaded.
+
+"Look, Lily, this rock is smooth and shiny," Tim said, holding a pebble in his hand.
+
+"Wow, that's pretty. Can I have it?" Lily asked.
+
+"No, it's mine. I found it first," Tim said, putting the pebble in his truck.
+
+"That's not fair. You have more things than me," Lily said, feeling angry.
+
+She looked around and saw a big pile of mud. She had an idea. She was feeling naughty. She scooped up some mud and threw it at Tim's truck.
+
+"Hey, stop that!" Tim shouted. "You're making my truck dirty!"
+
+He threw some mud back at Lily's truck. Soon, they were both throwing mud at each other and their trucks. They were covered in mud and so were their trucks.
+
+Their mom came out and saw the mess. She was not happy.
+
+"Tim, Lily, what are you doing? You're supposed to be playing nicely, not throwing mud. Look at your trucks. They're ruined. And look at yourselves. You're filthy. Come inside right now. You need a bath and a time out," she said.
+
+Tim and Lily felt sorry. They knew they had been naughty. They followed their mom inside, carrying their muddy trucks. They hoped their mom would forgive them and let them play with their trucks again.
+Ben and Lily liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but their favorite was a large ship. The ship was red and blue, and had a big sail and a flag. They pretended to be pirates and sailors, and sailed the ship on the carpet.
+
+One day, Ben and Lily wanted to play with the ship, but they could not find it. They looked under the bed, in the closet, and in the toy box, but the ship was not there. They asked their mom, but she did not know where the ship was.
+
+"Maybe someone took our ship," Ben said.
+
+"Who would do that?" Lily asked.
+
+"Maybe Tom," Ben said. Tom was their older brother, and he sometimes played tricks on them.
+
+Ben and Lily went to Tom's room, and knocked on the door. Tom opened the door, and they saw the ship on his desk.
+
+"Tom, that's our ship!" Ben said.
+
+"No, it's mine now," Tom said. "I found it in the hall, and I liked it. It's a cool ship."
+
+"But we love that ship, Tom. It's our favorite toy. Please give it back," Lily said.
+
+"Sorry, but no. If you want the ship, you have to pay me," Tom said.
+
+"Pay you? With what?" Ben asked.
+
+"With your candy," Tom said. "Give me all your candy, and I'll give you the ship."
+
+Ben and Lily looked at each other. They liked candy, but they liked the ship more. They decided to pay Tom, and get their ship back.
+
+"Okay, Tom. We'll pay you. But you have to promise not to take our ship again," Ben said.
+
+"Fine, fine. Just give me the candy," Tom said.
+
+Ben and Lily ran to their room, and got their candy. They had chocolate, gummy bears, and lollipops. They gave them all to Tom, and he gave them the ship.
+
+"Thank you, Tom," Lily said.
+
+"Yeah, thanks," Ben said.
+
+They took the ship, and ran back to their room. They were happy to have their ship again, and they played with it for a long time. They did not mind giving up their candy, because they had each other, and their ship.

+
+But her mom warned her. She said, "Lily, it is cold outside. You need to wear a coat and a hat. You will get sick if you don't." Lily did not want to wear a coat and a hat. She said, "But mom, I am a fairy. Fairies don't wear coats and hats. They fly and sparkle."
+
+Her mom said, "I know, Lily, but you are not a real fairy. You are a little girl. And little girls need to stay warm and healthy. Please, listen to me and put on your coat and hat. You can still be a fairy with them."
+
+Lily thought about it. She did not want to get sick. She did not want to make her mom sad. She loved her mom. She said, "Okay, mom. I will wear my coat and hat. Thank you for caring about me." She gave her mom a hug and a kiss.
+
+Her mom smiled and said, "You are welcome, Lily. I love you very much. You are a very good and grateful girl. Now, go and have fun with your friends. And be careful with your wand. Don't poke anyone with it."
+

+
+Tom and Sue ran to the water and played with the waves. They jumped, splashed, and laughed. They had fun. But they did not listen to their mom and dad. Their mom and dad told them to stay close and not go too far. They said the waves could be big and strong and dangerous.
+
+Tom and Sue did not care. They wanted to see more waves. They went deeper and deeper into the water. They did not see their mom and dad. They did not see the big wave coming.

+
+Their mom and dad grabbed them and brought them to the shore. They hugged them and kissed them. They cried. They tried to wake them up. They hoped they were alive.

+Lila was a little girl who liked to look at the stars at night. She had a big window in her room where she could see them shine. Sometimes she wished she could touch them and play with them.
+
+One night, she heard a soft voice outside her window. She got up and looked out. She saw a small star that had fallen on the grass. It was bright and sparkly, but it looked sad.
+
+"Hello, little star," Lila said. "Why are you here?"
+
+"Hello, little girl," the star said. "I was flying in the sky, but I got lost and fell down. Now I can't go back. It is too difficult."
+
+Lila felt sorry for the star. She wanted to help it. She thought for a moment, then said, "Maybe you need some water. Water makes things grow and feel better. I have some water in my cup. Do you want to drink some?"
+
+The star nodded. "Yes, please. Thank you, little girl."
+
+Lila ran to her bed and got her cup of water. She brought it to the window and poured some on the star. The star drank the water and smiled. It felt stronger and happier.
+
+"Thank you, little girl. You are very kind. The water helped me a lot. Now I can fly again. I will go back to the sky and find my friends. But I will always remember you. You are my friend too."
+
+Lila smiled too. She was glad the star was better. She waved goodbye to the star as it flew up in the air. She watched it join the other stars and twinkle brightly.
+
+"Goodbye, little star. You are welcome. You are my friend too. Come back and visit me sometime."
+
+She went back to her bed and cuddled her teddy bear. She closed her eyes and dreamed of the stars. She was happy.

+One day, it was her friend Ben's birthday. Lily wanted to give him a special gift. She thought hard and had an idea. She went to the store and bought a big balloon. It was red and shiny and had a happy face on it. She also bought some stickers and a marker.
+
+Lily went home and decorated the balloon with the stickers and the marker. She wrote "Happy Birthday Ben" and drew some stars and hearts. She was very proud of her gift. She wrapped the balloon with a thin paper and a bow. She was careful not to pop it.
+
+The next day, she went to Ben's party. She saw many other gifts on the table. They were big and fancy and had lots of things inside. Lily felt a little shy and worried. Maybe Ben would not like her gift. Maybe it was too simple and small.
+
+She gave her gift to Ben and said "Happy Birthday". Ben smiled and thanked her. He opened her gift and saw the balloon. He was very surprised and happy. He hugged the balloon and said "Wow, this is the best gift ever! I love it! Thank you, Lily!"
+
+Lily felt very happy and relieved. She saw that Ben liked her gift. She realized that it was not the size or the price of the gift that mattered, but the thought and the love that went into it. She learned that being humble and kind was more important than being rich and fancy. She and Ben played with the balloon and had a lot of fun. They were the best of friends.
+Anna and Ben are playing in the garden. They have a ball and a hoop. They throw the ball and catch it. They roll the hoop and run after it. They have fun.
+
+But then, Ben sees a big butterfly. He likes butterflies. He wants to catch it. He runs after the butterfly. He leaves the ball and the hoop. He does not look at Anna.
+
+Anna is sad. She wants to play with Ben. She calls him. "Ben, Ben, come back! Let's play!" But Ben does not hear her. He follows the butterfly. He goes to the other side of the garden.
+
+Anna is angry. She does not like Ben. She picks up the ball and the hoop. She skips to the house. She goes upstairs. She goes to her room. She slams the door. She does not want to play with Ben anymore.
+
+Ben catches the butterfly. He is happy. He puts it in a jar. He wants to show it to Anna. He runs back to the garden. He looks for Anna. He does not see her. He sees the ball and the hoop. He wonders where Anna is.
+
+He goes to the house. He calls her. "Anna, Anna, where are you? Look what I have!" But Anna does not answer. He goes upstairs. He sees her door. He knocks on it. "Anna, Anna, please open!

+
+Lily and Ben feel ashamed. They say they are sorry. They forgot about the candy. They wanted to save it for later. But they never ate it.
+
+Mom and dad say they have to throw away the candy. They say candy is not good for them. They say they should eat healthy food like fruits and vegetables. They say they can have some candy sometimes, but not too much.

+
+One day, Sara's mom gave her a new doll. The doll was different from Lily. She had short hair, a blue dress, and a frown. Sara did not like the new doll. She said, "Mom, why does she look so sad? I want a happy doll like Lily."
+
+Mom said, "This doll is special, Sara. She is from another country, and she has a mint in her pocket. If you squeeze her hand, she will say hello in another language. Do you want to try?"
+
+Sara was curious. She squeezed the doll's hand, and the doll said, "Bonjour." Sara did not know what that meant. She asked, "Mom, what did she say?"
+
+Mom said, "She said hello in French. That is the language they speak in France, where she is from. She is not sad, Sara. She is just shy. She needs a friend to play with. Maybe you can be her friend and teach her some words in English."
+
+Sara thought for a moment. She looked at Lily and the new doll. She decided to give the new doll a chance. She said, "Okay, Mom. I will be her friend. What is her name?"
+
+Mom said, "Her name is Sophie. She is a gift from your aunt, who lives in France. She sent her to you because she loves you very much."
+

+
+Anna laughed. She bit into the yellow ball too. She also made a funny face. She spit it out too.
+
+"Yuck! It's so sour and dry!" she said.

+
+"Give me that block!" Lily said to Ben. She grabbed a blue block from his hand.
+
+"No, Lily, that's mine!" Ben said. He tried to get it back.
+
+"Mine, mine, mine!" Lily said. She held the block tight.
+
+Ben was sad and angry. He did not want to play with Lily anymore. He looked for another toy.

+Jill and Ben like to play in the park. They see a big rock and a small circle. Jill says, "Let's play with the rock and the circle. We can roll them and throw them and make noise."
+
+Ben says, "OK, that sounds fun. But be careful, the rock is heavy and the circle is sharp. We don't want to get hurt."
+
+They take turns rolling the rock and the circle on the grass. They laugh and shout and have a good time. They are healthy and happy.
+
+But then, Jill has a bad idea. She says, "Let's see who can throw the rock and the circle the farthest. I bet I can throw them farther than you."
+
+Ben says, "No, I can throw them farther than you. Let's try."

+
+Jill and Ben are scared and sorry. They say, "We are so sorry, mister. We didn't mean to hurt you. We were just playing with the rock and the circle."
+
+The man says, "You are very naughty and foolish. You could have killed me. You should never play with dangerous things like that. Where are your parents? I'm going to tell them what you did."
+

+
+"Can we try them on?" Mia asked.
+
+"Let's ask mom first," Tom said. "She may not permit us to play with them. They might be old and dirty."
+
+They ran downstairs and found Tom's mom in the kitchen. She was baking a cake and looked calm.
+
+"Mom, can we play with the masks in the attic?" Tom asked.
+
+"The masks? Oh, those are from your grandpa. He used to be a clown and make people laugh. Sure, you can play with them, but be careful. Some of them have strings and buttons that can come off. And don't scare each other too much, okay?" she said.
+
+"Okay, mom. Thank you!" Tom and Mia said. They ran back upstairs and put on the masks. They had so much fun making funny noises and acting like different characters.
+
+But then, Tom had an idea. He saw a mask that looked very scary. It had big teeth, red eyes, and horns. He put it on and hid behind the door. He waited for Mia to come out of the closet, where she was changing her mask.
+
+When Mia opened the door, Tom jumped out and roared. "Boo! I'm a monster!"
+
+Mia screamed and dropped her mask. She was very scared and started to cry.

+
+Tom and Lily went to the house and asked their mom for some tape and glue. Their mom gave them what they needed and said, "Be careful with the glue, it's sticky. And don't make a mess, please."
+
+Tom and Lily thanked their mom and went back to the garden. They put the two pieces of the post together and wrapped some tape around them. Then they glued the sign back on the post. They waited for a few minutes until the glue was dry. Then they put the post back in front of the box.

+Anna likes to play with her dolls. She has a big net to catch bugs and put them in a jar. She thinks the bugs are pretty and fun. She does not hurt them. She lets them go after she looks at them.
+
+One day, she sees a big butterfly in the garden. It has yellow and black wings. She wants to catch it with her net. She runs after it and swings her net. But the butterfly is fast and flies away. Anna chases it around the flowers and the trees.
+
+She does not see the cat that is sleeping on the grass. She trips over the cat and falls down. The cat wakes up and is angry. It hisses and scratches at Anna. Anna is scared and cries. She drops her net and the jar.
+
+The cat runs away and the butterfly lands on the net. It flaps its wings and tickles Anna's nose. Anna sneezes and laughs. She picks up her net and the jar. She puts the butterfly in the jar and says sorry to the cat.
+
+She goes back to her dolls and shows them the butterfly. She tells them about her adventure. She is happy and proud. She is also tidy. She puts her net and her jar away when she is done playing. She does not want to lose them or make a mess. She loves her net and her jar and her dolls. And she loves the butterfly, too.
+Lily was a shy girl who liked to draw and read. She did not like to talk to other kids at school. She felt scared and alone. She wished she had a friend who liked the same things as she did.
+
+One day, Lily had to complete a project with Max, a boy who sat next to her. They had to draw a picture of their favorite animal and write its name. Lily liked cats and Max liked dogs. They decided to draw both animals on the same paper.
+
+Lily was very good at drawing, but she did not know how to write. Max was very good at writing, but he did not know how to draw. They helped each other and learned from each other. Lily showed Max how to draw a cat and Max showed Lily how to write "cat". They did the same for the dog.
+
+When they finished, they showed their picture to the teacher. The teacher smiled and said, "What a beautiful picture! You two did a great job! You are a good team!"
+
+Lily and Max felt happy and proud. They looked at each other and smiled. They realized they had something in common. They liked to learn new things. They also realized they were not so shy anymore. They had made a new friend.
+Lily and Max were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and look for bugs. Lily found a shiny thing in the dirt. It was a scale from a fish.
+
+"Look, Max, I found a fish scale!" Lily said, holding it up.
+
+"Wow, that's cool! Where did it come from?" Max asked.
+
+"Maybe from the pond. Let's go see!" Lily said, running towards the pond.
+
+Max followed her, but he was nervous. He did not like the pond. It was big and deep and dark. He was afraid of the water and the things that lived in it.
+
+Lily reached the pond and threw the scale in the water. She wanted to see if it would float or sink. She leaned over the edge of the pond and watched.
+
+Max stayed behind. He did not want to get too close to the water. He watched Lily from a distance.
+
+Suddenly, Lily screamed. A big splash came from the pond. Something had grabbed the scale and pulled Lily in. Lily was soaking wet and scared.
+
+"Help, Max, help!" Lily cried.
+
+Max was scared too, but he loved his sister. He ran to the pond and grabbed Lily's hand. He pulled her out of the water. They were both soaking wet and shivering.
+
+"What was that?" Lily asked.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe a big fish. Or a crocodile. Or a monster." Max said.
+
+They hugged each other and ran back to the house. They told their mom what happened. She gave them towels and hot chocolate. She said they were brave and lucky. She said they should not play near the pond again.
+
+They agreed. They did not want to see the thing that lived in the pond again. They wondered what it was and why it wanted the scale. They decided to play with their toys instead. They were happy and safe.
+Lila and Sam are friends. They like to play and act. Sometimes they act like animals, sometimes they act like heroes. One day, they act like pirates. They have hats and swords and a big box. The box is their ship.
+
+"Arrr, matey, I am the captain of this ship!" Sam says. He holds his sword high.
+
+"Arrr, no, I am the captain!" Lila says. She holds her sword too.
+
+They run to the box and try to get in. They push and pull and shout. They act angry and mean. They do not act like friends.
+
+"Ow, you hurt me!" Sam cries. Lila hits his arm with her sword. It is not a real sword, but it is hard.
+
+"I am sorry, Sam, I did not mean to hurt you!" Lila says. She drops her sword and hugs him. "Are you OK?"
+
+Sam rubs his arm. It is red and sore. He is sad and hurt. He does not want to act like a pirate anymore.
+
+"I am OK, Lila, but that was not nice. That was not True." He says. "Pirates are not nice. Pirates are not True. I do not like pirates."
+
+"Me neither, Sam. I do not like pirates. I like you. You are my friend. You are True." Lila says. "Can we act like something else?"
+
+Sam smiles and nods. He picks up his hat and puts it on Lila's head. He takes her hand and leads her to the box.
+
+"Let's act like astronauts. We can go to the moon in our ship. We can see stars and planets and aliens. We can have fun and be nice. We can be True." He says.
+
+Lila smiles and nods. She puts her hat on Sam's head. She follows him to the box.
+
+"Let's go, Sam. Let's act like astronauts. Let's be True." She says.
+
+They get in the box and close the lid. They pretend to fly to the moon. They laugh and talk and sing. They act happy and kind. They act like friends. They act like True.
+Sara and Tom were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but they always wanted more. They did not like to share or take turns. They always fought over who got the best toy.
+
+One day, their mom gave them a new toy. It was a magic switch that could freeze anything. Sara and Tom were very excited. They wanted to try it out. They ran outside and started to freeze things. They froze the flowers, the birds, the dog, and even the mailman. They laughed and laughed. They did not care that they were hurting others.
+
+But then, they made a big mistake. They pointed the switch at each other. Sara froze Tom, and Tom froze Sara. They could not move or talk. They could only stare at each other. They felt very cold and scared. They wished they could say sorry and hug.
+
+Their mom came outside and saw what they had done. She was very angry and sad. She took the switch and unfroze everything. She scolded Sara and Tom for being selfish and mean. She took away the switch and all their toys. She told them to go to their room and think about what they had done.
+
+Sara and Tom felt very sorry. They realized that they had been bad. They learned that playing with the switch was not fun. It was cruel. They learned that they should share and take turns. They learned that they should be kind and gentle. They hugged each other and said sorry. They promised to be better twins. They hoped that their mom would forgive them and give them back their toys. They hoped that the flowers, the birds, the dog, and the mailman would be okay. They lay down on their bed and tried to sleep. But they were too restless. They could not forget the frozen faces. They wished they had never played with the switch.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to go on the big wheel that went round and round. They waited in line with their mom and dad. When it was their turn, they got on a red seat that had a belt. Mom and dad got on a blue seat next to them.
+
+"Are you ready?" mom asked.
+
+"Yes!" Lily and Tom said.
+
+The wheel started to move. It went up and down and around and around. Lily and Tom laughed and waved at the people below. They felt the wind in their hair and the sun on their faces. They liked the big wheel.
+
+But then the wheel went faster and faster. Lily and Tom felt their stomachs turn. They felt dizzy and scared. They held on to the belt and each other.
+
+"Mom, dad, make it stop!" Lily cried.
+
+"Me too, me too!" Tom said.
+
+Mom and dad tried to calm them down. They said it would be over soon. They said they were safe and brave. But they also felt dizzy and scared. They wished the wheel would stop.
+
+The wheel kept going for a long time. Lily and Tom closed their eyes and trembled. They wanted to get off the big wheel. They wanted to play something else.
+
+Finally, the wheel slowed down and stopped. Lily and Tom opened their eyes and saw mom and dad smiling at them. They unbuckled the belt and got off the red seat. They felt wobbly and weak.
+
+"Are you okay?" mom asked.
+
+Lily and Tom nodded. They hugged mom and dad.
+
+"Thank you for taking us on the big wheel," Lily said.
+
+"But we don't want to go again," Tom said.
+
+Mom and dad laughed and kissed them.
+
+"Neither do we," they said.
+
+They walked away from the big wheel. They decided to play on the swings and the slide. They felt better and happier. They did not like the big wheel.
+True was a little dog who loved to play with his ball. He was very enthusiastic and always ran after the ball when his owner threw it. He liked to catch the ball in his mouth and bring it back to his owner.
+
+One day, True and his owner went to the park. There were many other dogs and people there. True was happy to see them and wanted to say hello. His owner threw the ball and True ran after it. But when he got to the ball, he saw something strange. The ball was not a ball anymore. It was a hat!
+
+True was confused. He looked around and saw a man with a long coat and a funny stick. The man smiled and said, "Hello, little dog. Do you like magic? I made your ball disappear and turned it into a hat. Do you want to see it again?"
+
+True did not like magic. He did not like the man. He wanted his ball back. He barked at the man and tried to grab the hat. But the man was quick and lifted the hat with his stick. Under the hat, there was nothing. The ball was gone!
+
+True was sad and angry. He ran back to his owner and whined. His owner saw what happened and was not happy either. He went to the man and said, "Hey, that was not nice. You took my dog's ball and made it disappear. Give it back, please."
+
+The man laughed and said, "Sorry, I can't. The ball is gone forever. It was part of my magic trick. You should be impressed, not mad. It was a very good trick."
+
+The owner did not think it was a good trick. He thought it was a bad trick. He said, "No, it was a very bad trick. You made my dog sad and me angry. You should not take things that are not yours. You should apologize and give us a new ball."
+
+The man did not want to apologize or give a new ball. He said, "No, I won't. It was just a ball. You can buy another one. And your dog should learn to share. He is too greedy and selfish."
+
+The owner did not agree. He said, "No, you are wrong. It was not just a ball. It was my dog's favorite ball. He loved it very much. And he is not greedy or selfish. He is enthusiastic and loyal. He is a good dog. You are a bad man."
+
+The man did not like to be called a bad man. He said, "No, I am not. I am a great man. I am a magician. I can do amazing things with my stick. Watch this."
+
+The man waved his stick and said some words. Then he disappeared. He was gone. True and his owner could not see him anymore.
+
+True and his owner were surprised. They did not know where the man went. They looked around and saw the other dogs and people. They were also surprised. They did not know what happened.
+
+True and his owner did not care. They did not like the man. They did not want to see him again. They were glad he was gone. They hoped he would not come back.
+
+True and his owner decided to leave the park. They did not want to play there anymore. They wanted to go home. They wanted to find a new ball. They wanted to forget the bad man and his bad trick.
+
+They walked away from the park. They were still sad and angry, but they were also happy. They had each other. They were friends. They were a team. They would always stick together. They would always have fun. They were True and his owner.
+Lily was a little girl who liked to draw. She had many crayons of different colors, but her favorite was purple. She liked to draw purple flowers, purple stars, and purple cats. She also liked to draw her family and friends.
+
+One day, she wanted to draw a picture for her grandma, who lived far away. She asked her mom for a big paper and a purple crayon. She started to draw a big heart with her name and grandma's name inside. She wanted to make it very pretty and special.
+
+She drew many small dots around the heart, like sprinkles. She drew a purple sun in the corner, and a purple bird on a branch. She drew a purple house with a purple door and a purple window. She drew a purple car with a purple wheel and a purple seat. She drew a purple tree with purple leaves and a purple swing.
+
+She was very happy with her picture. She showed it to her mom and dad, who smiled and hugged her. They said it was very beautiful and grandma would love it. They helped her fold the paper and put it in an envelope. They wrote grandma's address and a stamp on it. They said they would mail it the next day.
+
+Lily went to bed with a smile on her face. She was excited for grandma to see her picture. She closed her eyes and remembered all the things she drew. She remembered how big the heart was, how many dots there were, and how long the car was. She remembered that the car was one inch longer than the house, and that the bird was one inch smaller than the sun. She remembered that everything was purple, her favorite color. She dreamed of purple flowers, purple stars, and purple cats. She dreamed of grandma.
+Lily and Mom went to the grocery store. They needed to buy food for dinner. Lily liked to help Mom. She put apples, bread, and cheese in the cart.
+
+"Can I have a cookie, Mom?" Lily asked. She saw a big jar of cookies on a high shelf.
+
+"Sorry, Lily, not today. We have enough sweets at home," Mom said.
+
+Lily felt sad. She really wanted a cookie. She saw a stool near the shelf. She had an idea. She ran to the stool and climbed on it. She tried to reach the jar of cookies. She raised her arm as high as she could.
+
+But the jar was too far. And the stool was not stable. It wobbled and tipped over. Lily fell down with a loud thud. The jar of cookies also fell down and broke. Cookies and glass scattered on the floor.
+
+Mom heard the noise and ran to Lily. She was scared. She hugged Lily and checked if she was hurt.
+
+"Lily, are you okay? What were you doing?" Mom asked.
+
+"I'm sorry, Mom. I wanted a cookie. It was too difficult to get it," Lily said. She had a small cut on her hand. It hurt and bled a little.
+
+Mom took Lily to the bathroom. She cleaned and bandaged her wound. She also gave her a kiss and a hug.
+
+"It's okay, Lily. I'm glad you're not badly hurt. But you should never climb on stools or shelves. It's very dangerous. You could fall and hurt yourself or break something. Next time, if you want something, just ask me. I'll help you if I can," Mom said.
+
+Lily nodded. She felt sorry for what she did. She also felt sorry for the mess she made.
+
+"Can I help you clean up, Mom?" Lily asked.
+
+"That's very kind of you, Lily. But I think it's better if you stay away from the glass. I'll ask the store people to help me. You can wait here and read a book," Mom said.
+
+She found a book with colorful pictures and gave it to Lily. Lily liked the book. She looked at the pictures and tried to read the words. She forgot about the cookie. She was happy to be with Mom.
+Lily and Ben liked to play with blocks. They made many buildings with different shapes and colors. They were proud of their buildings and showed them to their mom and dad.
+
+One day, a new boy came to play with them. His name was Max. He had his own blocks, but they were bigger and shinier than Lily and Ben's blocks. He looked at their buildings and said, "Your buildings are silly and ugly. Mine are better and smarter. You are ignorant and don't know how to play."
+
+Lily and Ben felt sad and angry. They did not like Max. They said, "No, your buildings are not better. They are boring and plain. You are ignorant and don't know how to be nice. Go away and leave us alone."
+
+Max did not go away. He said, "I will show you how to improve your buildings. Watch me." He took some of Lily and Ben's blocks and added them to his own. He made a big tower that reached the ceiling. He said, "See? This is a good building. It is tall and strong. You should learn from me."
+
+Lily and Ben did not like what Max did. He took their blocks without asking. He ruined their buildings. He was not a good friend. They said, "Stop it! Give us back our blocks. You are not improving our buildings. You are destroying them. You are ignorant and don't know how to share."
+
+Max did not listen. He said, "No, I will not give you back your blocks. They are mine now. You don't deserve them. You are ignorant and don't know how to make good buildings."
+
+Lily and Ben had enough. They pushed Max's tower and made it fall. The blocks crashed to the floor. Max cried and ran away. Lily and Ben hugged each other and said, "We are not ignorant. We know how to make good buildings. We know how to be nice. We don't need Max. We have each other." They picked up their blocks and made new buildings. They were happy and had fun.
+Tom and Anna wanted to make a cake for Mom. They found a big bowl, some eggs, some flour, some sugar, and some butter. They put everything in the bowl and started to stir with a big spoon.
+
+"Stir, stir, stir!" Tom said. "We have to make the cake smooth and yummy!"
+
+"Stir, stir, stir!" Anna repeated. "We have to make the cake fast and nice!"
+
+They stirred and stirred until the bowl was full of cake batter. Then they poured it into a pan and put it in the oven. They set the timer and waited for the cake to bake.
+
+While they waited, they looked for something to decorate the cake. They found some sprinkles, some candles, and some frosting. They also found a belt in Dad's closet.
+
+"Look, Tom!" Anna said. "This belt is amazing! It has shiny stars and stripes on it!"
+
+"Wow, Anna!" Tom said. "That belt is amazing! It looks like a flag!"
+
+They decided to use the belt as a ribbon for the cake. They cut a piece of it and tied it around the pan. They also wrote "Happy Birthday Mom" with the frosting and put some sprinkles and candles on top.
+
+The timer beeped and they took the cake out of the oven. It smelled good and looked pretty. They were very proud of their cake.
+
+They carried the cake to the living room and waited for Mom to come home. When Mom saw the cake, she was very happy and surprised.
+
+"Wow, Tom and Anna!" Mom said. "This cake is amazing! You made it all by yourselves?"
+
+"Yes, Mom!" Tom and Anna said. "We wanted to make you a special cake for your birthday!"
+
+"Thank you, Tom and Anna!" Mom said. "You are amazing! I love you and I love your cake!"
+
+She hugged them and kissed them and then they all ate the cake together. It was the best cake ever.
+Lily loved her purple case. It had many stickers on it. She put her toys and books in it. She took it everywhere she went. She admired her case very much.
+
+One day, she went to the park with her mom. She saw a boy with a red case. He had a train and a car in it. Lily wanted to play with them. She asked the boy, "Can I see your case?"
+
+The boy said, "No, this is my case. Go away."
+
+Lily felt sad. She said, "But I have a purple case. It is very pretty. Do you want to see it?"
+
+The boy said, "No, I don't like purple. Purple is ugly. Your case is ugly."
+
+Lily felt angry. She said, "No, purple is beautiful. Your case is ugly. Your toys are ugly."
+
+The boy felt angry too. He said, "No, red is beautiful. My case is beautiful. My toys are beautiful. You are ugly."
+
+They started to fight. They pushed and pulled each other. They threw their cases and toys on the ground.
+
+Their moms saw them. They ran to them. They scolded them. They said, "Stop fighting. You are being very naughty. You have to share and be nice."
+
+They picked up their cases and toys. They saw that they were broken and dirty. The stickers were torn and the colors were faded. The train and the car were cracked and scratched.
+
+Lily and the boy cried. They had ruined their cases and toys. They had no one to play with. They wished they had been friendly. They learned a hard lesson.
+Tom and Lily were friends who liked to play in the garden. One day, they saw a big red strawberry on a plant. They both wanted to eat it, but there was only one.
+
+"I saw it first!" Tom said. "It is mine!"
+
+"No, I saw it first!" Lily said. "It is mine!"
+
+They began to pull the strawberry, each one trying to get it. They did not share or say sorry. They were jealous of each other.
+
+Suddenly, a big bird flew down from the sky. It saw the strawberry and wanted to eat it too. It opened its beak and snatched the strawberry from Tom and Lily's hands. Then it flew away, leaving them with nothing.
+
+Tom and Lily were very sad and angry. They cried and shouted at each other. They did not play anymore. They lost the strawberry and their friendship.
+Tom and Lily were twins who lived in a big house with their wealthy parents. They had many toys, clothes and books, but they were not happy. They wanted to go outside and play with other children, but their parents said it was too dangerous. They only let them go to the park once a week, with a nanny and a guard.
+
+One day, Tom and Lily decided to sneak out of the house and explore the city. They waited until their parents and the nanny were asleep, and then they climbed out of the window. They ran across the street, and saw a bridge over a river. They thought it looked fun, so they ran towards it.
+
+"Look, Lily, there are boats under the bridge!" Tom said, pointing at the water.
+
+"Let's go and see them!" Lily said, following him.
+
+They climbed over the railing and walked along the edge of the bridge, looking at the boats. They saw some people sleeping on the boats, wrapped in blankets. They wondered why they slept there, and not in a house.
+
+"Maybe they don't have a house," Tom said.
+
+"Maybe they are not wealthy like us," Lily said.
+
+"Maybe they are happy," Tom said.
+
+They wanted to talk to the people, but they were afraid to wake them up. They decided to keep walking, and see what else they could find.
+
+But they did not see the big hole in the bridge, where some planks were missing. They were too busy looking at the boats, and did not watch where they were going. They stepped on the hole, and fell into the river.
+
+They screamed, but no one heard them. The water was cold and deep, and they did not know how to swim. They tried to grab each other, but they could not. They sank under the water, and did not come up again.
+Lily and Sam went on a safari with their mom and dad. They saw many animals, like lions, zebras, giraffes and monkeys. They were very happy and excited.
+
+One day, they stopped for a picnic near a big lake. Lily and Sam wanted to taste the water, because they were thirsty. But mom and dad said no, the water was not good for them.
+
+"Why not?" Lily asked.
+
+"Because the water has germs and dirt in it. It can make you sick," dad explained.
+
+"But the animals drink it," Sam said.
+
+"Yes, but the animals are used to it. They have different bodies than us. We need clean water," mom said.
+
+Lily and Sam were sad. They wanted to drink like the animals. They thought it was not fair.
+
+Then, they saw a big elephant coming to the lake. The elephant sprayed water with its trunk, and some of it landed on Lily and Sam. They were wet and surprised.
+
+They tasted the water on their lips. It was salty and bitter. They made faces and spit it out.
+
+"Yuck!" Lily said.
+
+"Yuck!" Sam agreed.
+
+They looked at each other and laughed. They realized that mom and dad were right. The water was not good for them.
+
+They ran to mom and dad and hugged them. They said sorry for being sad. Mom and dad smiled and gave them some juice. The juice was sweet and fresh. They liked it much better.
+
+They learned that sometimes, things that look good are not good for you. And sometimes, things that look bad are good for you. They were happy again. They enjoyed the rest of the safari.
+Tom and Lily were going to the park with their mom. They liked the park because it had swings, slides and a big pond with ducks. They walked on the road and saw many cars and buses. Tom and Lily held their mom's hand and looked at the colors and shapes of the vehicles.
+
+"Look, mom, a red car!" Tom said.
+
+"And a yellow bus!" Lily said.
+
+"Yes, they are very pretty," mom said. "But we have to be careful on the road. We have to wait for the green light before we cross."
+
+"Why?" Tom asked.
+
+"Because the road is for the cars and buses. They go very fast and they can hurt us if we don't pay attention," mom said.
+
+"Oh, I see," Tom said. "We have to pay attention to the lights."
+
+They waited for the green light and then crossed the road. They reached the park and ran to the swings. They had a lot of fun playing and laughing. After a while, mom called them and said it was time for a snack. She took out a bag from her backpack and gave them each a sandwich and a juice.
+
+"Yum, this is delicious!" Lily said.
+
+"Thank you, mom, you make the best sandwiches!" Tom said.
+
+"You're welcome, my loves," mom said. "I'm glad you like them. Now, let's enjoy the park a little more before we go home."
+Sara and Ben were twins who liked to do magic. They had a big book of spells that their grandma gave them. They learned how to perform spells with their wands and their words.
+
+One day, they wanted to show their magic to their friends. They invited them to their backyard and set up a stage. Sara and Ben took turns to perform spells. They made flowers grow, balls bounce, and stars shine.
+
+But Ben was selfish. He wanted to perform more spells than Sara. He did not let Sara have her turn. He said, "I am better at magic than you. You only know easy spells. I know hard spells. Watch this!"
+
+He opened the book and pointed his wand at a page. He said a long and strange word. But he did not know what the word meant. He did not read the book carefully. He did not see the warning.
+
+The spell was a bad spell. It made a loud noise and a big cloud of smoke. It turned Ben into a frog. Sara and their friends gasped. They saw Ben hop on the stage. He croaked, "Help me! Help me!"
+
+Sara felt sorry for Ben. She was not selfish. She loved her brother. She looked at the book and found the right spell. She said it with her wand and her words. She turned Ben back into a boy.
+
+Ben hugged Sara and said, "Thank you, Sara. I am sorry, Sara. I was selfish. I will share with you. I will let you have your turn. You are good at magic too. You are the best sister."
+
+Sara smiled and said, "You are welcome, Ben. I am glad, Ben. You are not selfish. You will share with me. You will have your turn. You are good at magic too. You are the best brother."
+
+Their friends clapped and cheered. They said, "You are both amazing. You are both kind. You are both magic. Can you teach us some spells?"
+
+Sara and Ben nodded and said, "Yes, we can. We will teach you some spells. We will have fun. We will be friends. We will do magic together."
+Lily and Tom were mice who lived in a big house. They liked to look for food in the kitchen when the people were away. One day, they saw a big piece of cheese on a shiny plate. It smelled so good!
+
+"Wow, look at that cheese!" Lily said. "It must be very expensive. Let's go and get some."
+
+"But it looks like a trap," Tom said. "Maybe we should not follow the cheese. It could be dangerous."
+
+Lily did not listen to Tom. She was hungry and curious. She ran towards the cheese and tried to bite it. But as soon as she touched it, a metal cage fell down and trapped her inside. She was scared and sad.
+
+"Help, help!" Lily cried. "Tom, please help me!"
+
+Tom heard Lily's cry and felt sorry for her. He wanted to help her, but he did not know how. He looked around and saw a big red button on the wall. He wondered what it did. He decided to press it and see.
+
+When he pressed the button, the cage opened and Lily was free. She was so happy and relieved. She hugged Tom and thanked him.
+
+"Tom, you are so brave and smart!" Lily said. "You saved me from the trap. I'm sorry I did not listen to you. You were right. The cheese was not worth it."
+
+Tom smiled and hugged Lily back. He was glad she was safe and sorry. He said, "It's okay, Lily. I'm happy you are fine. Next time, let's be more careful and not follow things that look too good to be true. They might be traps."
+
+Lily nodded and agreed. They learned their lesson and never followed expensive cheese again. They looked for other food that was safer and tastier. They lived happily ever after.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the garden. The garden has many flowers and bugs. Lily and Ben like to look at the flowers and bugs.
+
+One day, they see a big bee on a yellow flower. The bee is busy and makes a buzz sound. Lily and Ben are curious. They want to see the bee closer.
+
+"Look, a bee!" Lily says. "It has black and yellow stripes. And a pointy thing."
+
+"Maybe it is a needle," Ben says. "It can poke things with it."
+
+Lily and Ben go near the flower. They are careful and quiet. They do not want to scare the bee.
+
+"Can we touch it?" Lily asks.
+
+"No, no, no!" Ben says. "It can poke you with its needle. It will hurt. And it will be angry."
+
+"But it is so pretty," Lily says. "And the flower is sweet. I can smell it."
+
+Lily reaches out her hand. She wants to touch the bee. Ben tries to stop her. He grabs her arm.
+
+"Lily, no!" Ben says. "It is dangerous. Come back."
+
+But Lily does not listen. She pokes the bee with her finger. The bee feels the poke. It is not happy. It turns around and pokes Lily back. With its needle.
+
+"Ow!" Lily cries. "It poked me! It poked me!"
+
+Lily runs away from the flower. She holds her finger. It is red and sore. Ben follows her. He is sorry for her.
+
+"I told you not to poke it," Ben says. "Are you okay?"
+
+Lily nods. She is sad and hurt. She does not like the bee anymore.
+
+"Let's go to the house," Ben says. "We can get some ice for your finger. And some juice. Juice is sweet. And it will make you feel better."
+
+Lily agrees. She and Ben go to the house. They leave the bee and the flower alone. They do not poke them again.
+Lily loved to dance. She danced at home, at school, and at the park. She liked to wear her yellow dress when she danced. It was her favorite dress. It had flowers and ribbons on it.
+
+One day, Lily went to a birthday party. There were many children there. They played games, ate cake, and opened presents. Lily wanted to dance, but she felt shy. She did not know many children at the party.
+
+Then, she saw Ben. Ben was her friend from school. He was popular. Everyone liked him. He was funny and kind. He saw Lily and smiled.
+
+"Hi, Lily," he said. "Do you want to dance with me?"
+
+Lily nodded. She was happy. She took Ben's hand and they went to the dance floor. They danced to the music. They spun, jumped, and clapped. They had fun.
+
+Lily's yellow dress sparkled in the light. She felt pretty and brave. She was glad Ben asked her to dance. She made new friends at the party. She had a great time. She loved to dance.
+Tom and Lily were thirsty and tired. They had been walking in the hot sand for a long time. They wanted to find water and shade. They saw a big hill in front of them. Maybe there was an oasis behind it, they thought.
+
+They climbed the hill and looked down. They saw green trees and a blue pond. They were happy and ran towards it. But they did not see the big rock in their way. Tom tripped over it and fell. He hurt his knee and cried.
+
+"Are you okay, Tom?" Lily asked. She helped him get up.
+
+"I'm okay, but I'm clumsy. I always fall and make trouble," Tom said. He felt sad and ashamed.
+
+"No, you're not clumsy. You're brave and smart. You found the oasis for us. You're my best friend," Lily said. She hugged him and smiled.
+
+They walked to the oasis and drank some water. They settled under a tree and rested. They felt better and happy. They had each other. They did not need anything else.
+Lily and Ben were playing with their toy cars in the living room. They had a big race track that they made with cardboard and tape. They liked to zoom their cars around the track and see who was faster.
+
+"Ready, set, go!" Lily shouted, and they both pushed their cars. Ben's car was red and shiny, and Lily's car was blue and sparkly. They watched their cars race along the track, but then they saw a problem. Their mom was coming in with a big basket of laundry. She was going to walk across the track and mess up their race.
+
+"Mom, stop!" Ben yelled. "You're going to delay our race!"
+
+"Sorry, kids, I need to put these clothes away," their mom said. "Can you pause your race for a minute?"
+
+Lily and Ben did not want to pause their race. They wanted to see who would win. They looked at each other and had an idea. A brilliant idea.
+
+"Mom, can you help us with our race?" Lily asked. "Can you be the bridge?"
+
+"The bridge?" their mom asked, confused.
+
+"Yes, the bridge!" Ben said. "You can hold the basket over the track, and we can drive our cars under it. That way, you won't delay our race, and you can still put the clothes away."
+
+Their mom smiled. She thought it was a clever idea. She agreed to be the bridge. She lifted the basket over the track, and Lily and Ben resumed their race. They drove their cars under the basket, and cheered as they crossed the finish line.
+
+"Wow, that was fun!" Lily said.
+
+"Thanks, mom, for being the bridge!" Ben said.
+
+"You're welcome, kids," their mom said. "You have very brilliant ideas. And you know what? You both won the race. You both did a great job."
+Mia and Ben were playing in the backyard. They liked to pretend they were explorers in the jungle. They had a big tent, some binoculars and a map. They also had some snacks: crackers, cheese and apple slices.
+
+"Look, Ben, I see a bird!" Mia said, pointing with her binoculars. "It has blue and yellow feathers. It is so pretty!"
+
+"Wow, Mia, you are right!" Ben said, looking through his binoculars too. "It is a parrot. Maybe it can talk to us. Hello, parrot!"
+
+The parrot looked at them and squawked. It did not sound friendly. It sounded angry. It flew towards them, flapping its wings and snapping its beak.
+
+"Uh-oh, Mia, it is coming to us!" Ben said, dropping his binoculars. "It wants our snacks!"
+
+"Run, Ben, run!" Mia said, grabbing her crackers and cheese. "It will scare us!"
+
+They ran to their tent and zipped it up. They heard the parrot pecking at the tent and screeching. They hugged each other and hoped it would go away.
+
+"Mia, I am scared," Ben said, shivering. "It is a mean parrot. It does not like us."
+
+"Me too, Ben, I am scared," Mia said, sniffling. "It is a loud parrot. It hurts my ears."
+
+They ate their snacks and tried to calm down. They wished their mom or dad would come and save them. They felt uncomfortable in the tent. It was hot and stuffy.
+
+After a while, they heard a familiar voice. It was their mom. She was calling their names.
+
+"Mia, Ben, where are you?" she said. "It is time to come inside. I have a surprise for you."
+
+Mia and Ben unzipped the tent and peeked out. They saw their mom smiling at them. They also saw the parrot flying away.
+
+"Mom, mom, we are here!" they said, running to her. "We are so happy to see you!"
+
+They told her about the parrot and how it scared them. They showed her their binoculars and their map. They asked her what the surprise was.
+
+"It is a new book," she said, holding it up. "It is about animals in the jungle. Do you want to read it with me?"
+
+"Yes, yes, yes!" they said, nodding. "We love animals. But not mean parrots."
+
+They hugged their mom and went inside. They felt safe and cozy. They read the book and learned about monkeys, elephants, snakes and more. They forgot about the parrot and had fun. They were glad they were explorers. But they also liked to be home.
+Ben and Tom were brothers who liked to play cops and robbers. Ben was the cop and Tom was the robber. They had a toy gun, a toy badge and a toy handcuff. They ran around the house, chasing and hiding from each other.
+
+One day, they found a real gun in their dad's drawer. They did not know it was real. They thought it was a new toy. Tom took the gun and said, "I am the boss robber now. You can't catch me, cop!" He pointed the gun at Ben and pulled the trigger.
+
+Bang! The gun made a loud noise and a bullet came out. It hit Ben in the chest. Ben fell down and did not move. He was bleeding a lot. Tom dropped the gun and screamed. He ran to Ben and shook him. "Ben, Ben, wake up! I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it!"
+
+Mom heard the noise and came to the room. She saw Ben on the floor and Tom crying. She saw the gun and the blood. She was very scared and angry. She called 911 and tried to help Ben. But it was too late. Ben was gone.
+
+The real cops came and took the gun and Tom away. They asked Mom and Dad many questions. They said Tom was in big trouble. They said he might go to jail. Mom and Dad were very sad and mad. They blamed Tom for what he did. They blamed themselves for leaving the gun in the drawer. They wished they could restore Ben's life. But they couldn't. Nothing could.
+Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They make a race track with books and boxes. They say, "Ready, set, go!" and push their cars on the track.
+
+Tom's car is red and fast. Sam's car is blue and shiny. They race their cars around the track. They cheer and laugh. They try to make their cars go faster and faster. They have fun.
+
+But then, Tom's car stops. It makes a funny noise. Tom looks at his car. He sees that it has no gas. He says, "Oh no, my car needs gas. Where can I find gas?"
+
+Sam says, "I know. We can use juice. Juice is yummy and can fill your car. Come, I have some juice in the kitchen." He takes Tom's hand and they run to the kitchen.
+
+They find a bottle of juice and a small cup. Sam pours some juice in the cup. He says, "Here, Tom. This is your gas. Fill your car with juice and it will go again." Tom takes the cup and pours some juice in his car. He says, "Thank you, Sam. You are a good friend. Let's go back to the race."
+
+They run back to the race track. They put their cars on the track. They say, "Ready, set, go!" and push their cars again. Tom's car goes fast and smooth. Sam's car goes fast and shiny. They race their cars until they are tired. They hug and smile. They say, "That was a fun race. And juice is yummy." They drink the rest of the juice and share a cookie. They are happy.
+Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play together. One day, they walk to the park with their moms. They see a big slide, a swing, and a sandbox. They are happy.
+
+Tom and Anna run to the slide. They take turns to go down. They laugh and shout. Their moms watch them and smile. They are proud.
+
+Tom and Anna see a dog. The dog is brown and fluffy. It has a red collar and a lock. The dog is adorable. Tom and Anna want to pet the dog. They ask their moms if they can.
+
+Their moms say yes, but they have to be careful. They have to ask the owner first. They have to be gentle and quiet. They have to not pull the dog's tail or ears.
+
+Tom and Anna nod. They walk to the owner. The owner is a nice lady. She says they can pet the dog. His name is Max. Tom and Anna touch Max's fur. It is soft and warm. Max licks their faces. He is friendly. Tom and Anna giggle. They love Max. They say thank you to the owner. They say bye to Max. They walk back to their moms. They are happy.
+Tim and Kim were twins who liked to play with their big red ball. They would bounce it high and catch it, or roll it to each other, or kick it around the yard. They had a lot of fun with their ball.
+
+One day, their mom gave them a message. She said, "I have to go to the store for a little while. You can keep playing with your ball, but don't go near the street. It is dangerous. Do you understand?" Tim and Kim nodded and said, "Yes, mom. We understand."
+
+But after mom left, Tim had an idea. He said to Kim, "Let's see how far we can bounce our ball. Maybe we can bounce it over the fence." Kim was not sure. She said, "But mom said not to go near the street. What if our ball goes there?" Tim said, "Don't worry. We can be careful. It will be fun. Come on, let's try."
+
+They took their ball to the edge of the yard and started to bounce it harder and harder. They cheered when their ball went over the fence. But then they heard a loud honk. They looked and saw a big truck on the street. Their ball had bounced in front of it and made it stop. The driver was angry. He got out of his truck and picked up their ball. He said, "What are you kids doing? This is very dangerous. You could have caused an accident. Where is your mom?"
+
+Tim and Kim were scared. They ran to the door and cried for mom. But mom was not there. They had to wait until she came back. They felt very sorry and ashamed. They learned their lesson. They should have listened to mom's message and not been so persistent with their ball. They decided to never bounce their ball near the street again. They hoped mom would forgive them and give them their ball back.
+Tom is a chubby boy who likes to play with his toys in his bedroom. He has many cars, trains, blocks and animals. He makes loud noises and pretends he is driving or building or roaring. He does not like to clean up his toys when he is done.
+
+One day, his mom tells him he has to help her with some chores. She says he has to put his toys away in his bedroom and then help her fold the laundry. Tom does not want to do that. He wants to keep playing. He says no to his mom and runs to his bedroom. He slams the door and locks it.
+
+His mom is angry and knocks on the door. She tells him to open the door and help her. Tom ignores her and plays with his toys. He thinks he is smart and clever. He does not care about his mom.
+
+But then, he hears a loud noise outside. He looks out the window and sees a big truck. The truck is carrying a huge sofa. The truck stops in front of his house. Tom wonders what is going on. He hears his mom talking to the truck driver. She says she ordered a new sofa for the living room. She says she needs Tom to help her move the old sofa out.
+
+Tom likes the old sofa. He likes to sit on it and watch TV. He likes to nap on it and cuddle with his mom. He does not want a new sofa. He wants to keep the old sofa. He feels sad and scared. He wants to help his mom. He wants to tell her he likes the old sofa. He wants to hug her and say sorry.

+Ben and Lily were playing with sand on the beach. They wanted to make a big castle with towers and walls and flags. They worked hard and used buckets and shovels and sticks. They were very serious about their castle.
+
+"Look, our castle is almost complete!" Ben said. "We just need to add some shells and stones for decoration."
+
+"OK, let's go find some!" Lily said. They left their castle and ran along the shore, looking for pretty things to put on their castle.
+
+But while they were gone, a big wave came and washed away their castle. The sand and the buckets and the shovels and the sticks were all gone. The wave also took some of their toys and clothes that they left on the sand.
+
+When Ben and Lily came back, they saw nothing but water and wet sand. They looked for their castle, but they could not find it. They looked for their toys and clothes, but they could not find them either. They felt very sad and angry.
+
+"Where is our castle?" Ben cried. "Where are our things?"
+
+"The wave took them away!" Lily sobbed. "It was a mean wave!"
+
+They hugged each other and cried. They had no castle, no toys, no clothes. They had nothing. They wished they never left their castle. They wished they could make another one. But they could not. It was too late. The end.

+
+"Let's not give up," Sara said to Ben. "We can still win. We just need to work together."

+
+"Wow, let's go and find it!" Lily said, grabbing the gun. "But be careful, there might be bad guys."
+
+They ran to the slide and looked around. They saw a small hole under the slide. Tom crawled inside and found a box. He opened it and saw a shiny necklace.

+"OK, but we need to take our pen and paper. We can draw what we see," Ben says.
+
+They put on their shoes and coats. They take their pen and paper. They tell their mom they are going out. Mom says to be careful and come back soon.

+
+"Wow, look at that house. It is so big and pretty. I wonder who lives there," Sara says.
+
+"Me too. Maybe we can go and say hello. Maybe they have more toys and books," Ben says.
+
+They walk to the gate. They open it. They go inside. They see a sign. It says: "Beware of the dog."
+Anna wanted a puppy. She asked her mom and dad many times. "Please, can I have a puppy? I will take care of it and play with it and love it."
+
+But mom and dad said no. They said a puppy was too much work. They said a puppy would make a mess and bark and chew things. They said they did not have enough money and space for a puppy. They said maybe when Anna was older and more responsible.
+
+Anna was sad and angry. She did not think a puppy was too much work. She thought a puppy would be fun and cute and friendly. She thought mom and dad were not fair. She wanted a puppy now.
+
+One day, Anna saw a sign at the pet store. It said "Free Puppies". Anna ran inside and saw a box of fluffy puppies. They were wagging their tails and licking her hand. Anna fell in love with a brown puppy with a white spot on his nose. She picked him up and hugged him.
+
+"Can I have this puppy?" she asked the lady at the store.
+
+The lady smiled and said, "Sure, he's yours. He needs a good home."
+
+Anna was so happy. She thanked the lady and ran out of the store with the puppy. She did not tell mom and dad. She thought they would not permit her to keep the puppy. She thought they would be angry and take the puppy away. She decided to hide the puppy in her room.
+
+But hiding a puppy was difficult. The puppy made noise and needed food and water and a place to pee and poop. The puppy also wanted to play and cuddle and explore. Anna tried to keep the puppy quiet and clean and happy, but it was hard. She was afraid mom and dad would find out.
+
+One day, mom and dad heard a bark from Anna's room. They opened the door and saw the puppy. They were shocked and angry. They asked Anna where she got the puppy and why she did not tell them.
+
+Anna started to cry. She said she loved the puppy and wanted to keep him. She said she was sorry for lying and hiding the puppy. She said she hoped mom and dad would not be mad and let her have the puppy.
+
+Mom and dad looked at each other. They looked at Anna and the puppy. They saw how much Anna cared for the puppy and how much the puppy loved Anna. They felt sorry for Anna and the puppy. They decided to give Anna a chance.
+
+They said they would permit Anna to keep the puppy, but only if she followed some rules. She had to feed and walk and clean the puppy every day. She had to pay for the puppy's vet and toys and treats. She had to be gentle and kind and respectful to the puppy. She had to listen to mom and dad and do her chores and homework.
+
+Anna agreed to the rules. She was so happy and grateful. She hugged mom and dad and the puppy. She said she would be a good owner and a good daughter. She said she loved mom and dad and the puppy.
+
+Mom and dad smiled and hugged Anna and the puppy. They said they loved Anna and the puppy too. They said they were proud of Anna for being honest and brave. They said they were happy to have a new member of the family. They said they hoped Anna and the puppy would be happy together.
+Anna and Ben moved to a new house with Mom and Dad. They had many boxes to unpack. Anna wanted to unpack her toys and books. Ben wanted to unpack the TV and watch his favorite show.
+
+"Can we unpack the TV first?" Ben asked Mom.
+
+"No, Ben. We have to unpack the important things first, like clothes and dishes. The TV can wait," Mom said.
+
+"But I want to watch my show! It is original and funny!" Ben said.
+
+"Sorry, Ben. You have to be patient. Maybe you can help Anna unpack her toys and books. That will be fun too," Mom said.
+
+Ben did not want to help Anna. He was angry and bored. He looked for the box with the TV. He found it in the living room. He opened it and took out the TV. He tried to plug it in the wall. But he did not know how to do it. He pulled and twisted the wires. He made a big mess.
+
+Suddenly, there was a loud bang and a flash. The TV broke. Smoke came out of it. Ben screamed. Mom and Dad ran to the living room. They saw the broken TV and the wires. They were very upset.
+
+"Ben, what did you do?" Dad yelled.
+
+"I wanted to watch my show!" Ben cried.
+
+"You broke the TV! You could have hurt yourself! You were very naughty and careless!" Mom scolded.
+
+Anna came to the living room too. She saw the broken TV and the smoke. She was sad. She liked to watch TV with Ben sometimes.
+
+"Now we have no TV. We can't watch anything. You ruined it, Ben!" Anna said.
+
+Ben felt very bad. He wished he had listened to Mom and helped Anna. He wished he had not broken the TV. He wished he had been more patient and careful. He said he was sorry. But it was too late. The TV was gone. The end.
+Tom likes to write his name. He can write T and O and M with a big stick. He likes to write on the sand, where the water comes and goes. He likes to see his name on the sand, and then watch it go away.
+
+One day, Tom goes to the shore with his mom and dad. He sees a lot of sand and water and rocks and shells. He finds a big stick and runs to the sand. He writes T and O and M very big. He is happy.
+
+But then, a big wave comes and washes away his name. Tom is sad. He cries and says, "My name is gone!" His mom and dad hug him and say, "It's okay, Tom. You can write your name again. Look, there is more sand."
+
+Tom looks and sees more sand. He also sees a smooth rock. It is white and shiny and round. He likes it. He picks it up and says, "This is my rock. I will write my name on it." He uses his stick to scratch T and O and M on the rock. He is happy again.
+
+He shows his rock to his mom and dad. They say, "Wow, Tom, that is a beautiful rock. And you wrote your name very well. You are a good writer." Tom smiles and says, "Thank you. I love my rock. And I love you." He hugs his mom and dad and puts his rock in his pocket. He is very happy.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to go out with Mom and Dad. Today, they go to a restaurant. The restaurant has many foods. Anna and Ben want to feed the fish in the pond.
+
+Mom and Dad say no. They say the fish are not hungry. They say the fish have their own food. They say the restaurant people will be angry. Anna and Ben are sad. They want to feed the fish.
+
+Anna and Ben wait for Mom and Dad to finish eating. They are bored. They see a big bag of bread on a table. They think the bread is for the fish. They take the bag and run to the pond. They throw the bread to the fish.
+
+The fish eat the bread. They eat too much bread. They feel sick. They float on the water. They do not move. They are dead. The restaurant people see the dead fish. They are very angry. They yell at Anna and Ben. They yell at Mom and Dad. They make them pay a lot of money. They make them leave.
+
+Anna and Ben are very sorry. They did not know the bread was bad for the fish. They did not want to kill the fish. They cry. Mom and Dad are very mad. They scold Anna and Ben. They say they are naughty. They say they will not take them to a restaurant again.
+
+Anna and Ben are very sad. They have no fish. They have no restaurant. They have no fun. They have a bad day.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big slide. They wanted to go on it. But there was a problem. A fierce dog was guarding the slide. It barked and growled at anyone who came near.
+
+Tom and Lily were scared of the dog. They did not know what to do. They wanted to have fun on the slide. They wished someone would rescue them from the dog.
+
+Then they saw Sam. Sam was their friend. He was brave and strong. He had a ball in his hand. He threw the ball far away. The dog saw the ball. It ran after it. It forgot about the slide.
+
+Tom and Lily were happy. They thanked Sam for rescuing them. They ran to the slide. They took turns to slide down. They had a lot of fun. They gave Sam a prize. It was a sticker. It had a star on it. Sam smiled. He was happy too. They all played together. They were good friends.
+Lila and Ben were friends who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big fly on a flower. It had shiny wings and a long nose.
+
+"Wow, look at the fly!" Lila said. "It is so pretty!"
+
+"I want to touch it," Ben said. He reached out his hand to the fly.
+
+"Wait, Ben!" Lila said. "The fly might not like that. Maybe it will bite you or fly away."
+
+"But I just want to see it better," Ben said. "Please, can I borrow it for a little bit?"
+
+Lila thought for a moment. She was a thoughtful girl who cared about animals. She did not want to hurt the fly or make it scared.
+
+"No, Ben, you cannot borrow the fly," she said. "The fly is not ours. It belongs to the flower and the sky. We can only look at it and say hello."
+
+Ben was sad. He really wanted to touch the fly. But he knew that Lila was right. He did not want to be mean to the fly.
+
+"Okay, Lila, you are right," he said. "The fly is not ours. We can only look at it and say hello."
+
+They smiled at each other and waved to the fly. The fly buzzed and flew away. Lila and Ben felt happy. They had learned something new and been kind to the fly. They went to find another flower to admire.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big hole in the ground. Lily wanted to look inside, but Ben was scared.
+
+"Come on, Ben, it will be fun!" Lily said. "Maybe there is something cool in there."
+
+"No, Lily, it is too dark and deep. We might get hurt or lost. Let's go back to the slide," Ben said.
+
+But Lily was persistent. She did not listen to Ben. She ran to the hole and jumped in. Ben followed her, because he did not want to be alone.
+
+They landed on a soft pile of leaves. They looked around and saw nothing but dirt and roots. It was very dark and quiet.
+
+"Lily, this is not fun. This is a trap. How will we get out?" Ben said.
+
+"I don't know, Ben. Maybe someone will find us and help us," Lily said.
+
+They shouted and cried for help, but no one heard them. They were too far from the park and the people. They became hungry and thirsty and cold. They hugged each other and hoped for a miracle.
+
+But no one came. No one knew they were there. They stayed in the trap until they died.
+Sara and Ben are playing in their room. They have many toys and books, but they are bored. They want to find something new and fun.
+
+They see a big box in the corner. It is brown and has a lid. It has a label that says "Do not open". Sara and Ben are curious. They want to know what is inside.
+
+"Let's peek inside the box," Sara says. "Maybe there is a surprise for us."
+
+"No, we can't," Ben says. "Mom and Dad said we have to wait until tomorrow. It is a gift for Grandma's birthday."
+
+"But I want to see it now," Sara says. "Just a little peek. They won't know."
+
+Sara and Ben sneak to the box. They lift the lid a bit. They see many papers inside. The papers are colorful and shiny. They have pictures and words on them.
+
+"What are these?" Sara asks.
+
+"They are cards," Ben says. "They are for Grandma. Look, this one says 'Happy Birthday, Grandma. We love you.'"
+
+Sara and Ben think the cards are pretty. They want to touch them. They take out one card. It is unusual. It has a button on it. Sara presses the button.
+
+Suddenly, the card makes a loud noise. It sings a song. "Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Grandma, happy birthday to you!"
+
+Sara and Ben are scared. They drop the card. They close the lid. They run to their bed. They hide under the blanket.
+
+Mom and Dad hear the noise. They come to the room. They see the box. They see the card on the floor. They know what Sara and Ben did.
+
+"Sara, Ben, did you peek inside the box?" Mom asks.
+
+Sara and Ben are quiet. They feel sorry. They know they did something bad.
+
+They come out of the blanket. They look at Mom and Dad. They say "Sorry."
+
+Mom and Dad are not happy. They are also not angry. They love Sara and Ben. They hug them.
+
+"It's okay," Dad says. "But you have to promise not to peek again. It is not nice to spoil the surprise. Grandma will be sad if she knows."
+
+"We promise," Sara and Ben say.
+
+Mom and Dad smile. They tuck them in. They kiss them good night.
+
+"Tomorrow, we will go to Grandma's house," Mom says. "We will give her the box. We will sing the song. We will have cake and ice cream. It will be fun."
+
+Sara and Ben nod. They are excited. They close their eyes. They dream of Grandma. They dream of the box. They dream of the unusual card.
+Tom and Lily went to the mill with their dad. The mill was a big house where people made flour from wheat. Tom and Lily liked to watch the big wheels turn and the wheat go in and out.
+
+"Can we test the flour, dad?" Tom asked. He wanted to touch the soft white powder.
+
+"Only a little bit, Tom. The flour is for making bread and cakes, not for playing," dad said. He gave Tom and Lily a small handful of flour each.
+
+Tom and Lily rubbed the flour between their fingers. It felt nice and smooth. Then they had an idea.
+
+"Let's make a snowman with the flour!" Lily said.
+
+"Good idea!" Tom agreed.
+
+They found a corner where no one was looking and started to roll the flour into balls. They made a big ball for the body, a smaller ball for the head, and two tiny balls for the eyes. They put the balls on top of each other and smiled.
+
+"Look, dad, we made a snowman!" they shouted.
+
+Dad turned around and saw their flour snowman. He was not happy.
+
+"Tom and Lily, what have you done? You wasted the flour and made a mess!" he scolded.
+
+Tom and Lily felt bad. They did not mean to make dad angry.
+
+"Sorry, dad. We just wanted to have fun," they said.
+
+Dad sighed. He knew they were only kids.
+
+"It's okay, but you have to clean up now. And no more testing the flour, okay?" he said.
+
+"Okay, dad. We will be good," Tom and Lily said.
+
+They helped dad sweep up the flour and put it back in a bag. Then they hugged dad and said they loved him.
+
+Dad smiled and hugged them back. He loved them too.
+
+They learned their lesson. The mill was not a place to play with flour. It was a place to make flour. And flour was for making bread and cakes, not snowmen.
+Tom and Sue are twins. They like to play with their toys. One day, they find a big box in the garage. They want to make a fort with the box.
+
+"Can we cut a door in the box?" Tom asks Sue.
+
+"Yes, but we need something to cut with," Sue says.
+
+They look around and see a fork on the table. Tom picks up the fork and tries to poke the box with it.
+
+"It does not work. The fork is too small," Tom says.
+
+Sue has an idea. She sees a pair of scissors on the shelf. She climbs on a chair and reaches for the scissors.
+
+"Be careful, Sue. The scissors are sharp," Tom says.
+
+Sue grabs the scissors and gets down from the chair. She cuts a door in the box with the scissors.
+
+"Look, Tom. We have a door now," Sue says.
+
+They crawl inside the box and pretend it is their fort. They have fun playing with their toys in the fort.
+
+But then, they hear a loud noise. It is their dad. He is looking for the scissors.
+
+"Where are my scissors? I need them to fix the car," he says.
+
+He sees the box with the door and the fork on the table. He puts two and two together.
+
+"Tom, Sue, did you use my scissors to cut the box?" he asks.
+
+Tom and Sue peek out of the door. They see their dad holding the fork. They are scared.
+
+"Sorry, dad. We wanted to make a fort," Tom says.
+
+Dad is not happy. He takes the scissors and the fork from them.
+
+"You should not use my scissors or the fork. They are not toys. They are dangerous. You could hurt yourself or the box," he says.
+
+He tells them to come out of the box and clean up the mess. He also tells them to be more careful next time.
+
+Tom and Sue are sad. They say sorry to their dad. They help him clean up the mess. They learn their lesson.
+
+The end.
+Tommy was a spoiled boy who always got what he wanted. He had many toys, but he never shared them with anyone. He liked to throw tantrums when he did not get his way. One day, he wanted a new toy car, but his mom said no. She said he had enough toys and he should be happy with what he had.
+
+Tommy was very angry. He ran to his room and slammed the door. He threw his toys on the floor and kicked his bed. He looked up at the ceiling and saw a big hole. He wondered what was behind the hole. He decided to escape from his room and see for himself. He climbed on his bed and reached for the hole. He pulled himself up and crawled into the dark space.
+
+He felt cold and dusty. He saw wires and pipes and spiders. He did not like it at all. He wanted to go back to his room, but he could not find the hole. He was lost and scared. He started to cry and scream for his mom. He wished he had listened to her and been a good boy.
+
+His mom heard his cries and ran to his room. She saw the hole in the ceiling and realized what had happened. She called for help and waited for someone to rescue Tommy. She hoped he was okay and not hurt. She also hoped he had learned his lesson and would not be so spoiled anymore.
+Sam and Mia were playing in the park. They liked to observe the birds and the flowers and the clouds. They saw a big bird with a long neck and a black belt on its chest. It was a goose.
+
+"Look, Mia, a goose!" Sam said.
+
+"Can we touch it?" Mia asked.
+
+Sam shook his head. "No, we can't. It might bite us. And it is fragile. We might hurt it."
+
+They watched the goose from a distance. It was eating grass and making honking noises. They thought it was funny.
+
+Suddenly, a loud bark made them jump. A dog was running towards the goose. The goose was scared. It flapped its wings and tried to fly away. But the dog was faster. It caught the goose by its belt and pulled it to the ground.
+
+"Stop, dog, stop!" Sam and Mia shouted. They ran to help the goose. But they were too late. The dog had torn the belt and hurt the goose. The goose was bleeding and not moving.
+
+Sam and Mia felt sad and angry. They cried and hugged each other. They wished they could save the goose. They wished the dog had not been so mean. They wished they had a belt to fix the goose. But they knew they could not. The goose was gone.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to imagine they were explorers in a jungle. They had a big stick for a sword and a hat for a helmet.
+
+"Look, Tom, a spike!" Lily said, pointing to a rose bush. "Maybe it is a dragon's tail. We have to be careful."
+
+Tom nodded. He wanted to be brave. He held his stick and approached the bush. He pretended to fight the dragon. He swung his stick and hit the spike.
+
+"Ow!" Tom cried. He dropped his stick and held his hand. He saw blood on his finger. He felt pain and fear.
+
+Lily ran to him. She saw his wound. She felt sorry and scared. She hugged him and said, "Don't cry, Tom. It's okay. You are not careless. You are a hero. Let's go to mom. She will make it better."
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a loyal dog named Pepper. Pepper likes to run and bark.
+
+One day, they see a big cat in the park. The cat is black and white. It has a long tail. The cat sees Pepper and hisses. Pepper sees the cat and growls.
+
+"Pepper, no!" Lily yells. She does not want Pepper to chase the cat. She knows the cat can scratch. She runs to Pepper and holds his collar.
+
+"Pepper, stop!" Ben yells. He does not want Pepper to get hurt. He knows the cat can bite. He runs to Pepper and helps Lily.
+
+The cat sees Lily and Ben. It is scared of them. It runs away. It jumps over the fence. It is gone.
+
+Lily and Ben hug Pepper. They are happy he is safe. They are proud of him. He is a good dog.
+
+"Good boy, Pepper!" they say. "We love you!"
+
+Pepper wags his tail. He loves them too. He is a loyal friend.
+Ben and Lily went to the zoo with their mom. They saw many animals, like lions, elephants, and giraffes. But their favorite was the monkey house. They liked to watch the monkeys swing, jump, and play.
+
+One monkey was very spoiled. He always wanted more food and toys than the other monkeys. He would scream and grab things from them. The zookeeper tried to calm him down, but he did not listen. He was a bad monkey.
+
+One day, the spoiled monkey saw a shiny red ball on the ground. He wanted it very much. He ran to the ball and picked it up. He did not see that the ball was part of a trap. The ball was attached to a rope, and the rope was attached to a cage. When the monkey pulled the ball, the cage door opened. The monkey ran inside the cage with the ball. The cage door closed behind him. He was trapped.
+
+"Help! Help!" the monkey cried. "Let me out! I want to play with the ball!"
+
+But no one came to help him. The other monkeys ignored him. They were happy that he was gone. They shared their food and toys peacefully.
+
+Ben and Lily saw what happened. They felt sorry for the monkey, but they also knew he was naughty. They asked their mom, "Why is the monkey in the cage, mom?"
+
+Mom said, "The monkey was too greedy and selfish. He did not share with his friends. He fell into a trap because he wanted something that was not his. He learned a hard lesson today."
+
+Ben and Lily nodded. They understood. They decided to be kind and generous with each other. They did not want to be like the spoiled monkey. They wanted to be good children.
+Lily and Ben were twins. They liked to play with their toys, but they did not like to share. One day, they found a big, furry bear in the closet. They both wanted to hug it and make it their friend.
+
+"Mine!" Lily said, pulling the bear.
+
+"No, mine!" Ben said, pulling harder.
+
+They fought and fought, until the bear ripped in half. They both cried and dropped the pieces. Mom heard the noise and came to see what happened.
+
+"What did you do?" Mom asked, looking at the bear.
+
+"We wanted the bear, but it broke," Lily said.
+
+"It's not fair, she started it," Ben said.
+
+Mom was angry and sad. She loved that bear. It was hers when she was a little girl. She gave it to Lily and Ben to share, but they did not listen.
+
+"You were very naughty. You did not share and you ruined the bear. You need to learn to be kind and careful. You are both punished. No TV for a week. And you have to say sorry to each other and to me," Mom said.
+
+Lily and Ben felt sorry. They did not want to make Mom sad. They did not want to lose their TV. They hugged each other and said sorry.
+
+"We're sorry, Mom. We're sorry, bear. We love you," they said.
+
+Mom hugged them back. She was still angry, but she also loved them. She hoped they would learn from their mistake.
+
+"Thank you for saying sorry. I love you too. But you still have to keep your punishment. Maybe next year, you can have a new bear. But only if you share and take care of it," Mom said.
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They understood. They went to their room and played with their other toys. They tried to share and be nice. They did not want to punish Mom or the bear again.
+Tim and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. They had many different kinds of stuff, like cars, dolls, blocks, and books. They liked to share their stuff and make up stories with them.
+
+One day, they found a big box in the corner. It was wrapped with shiny paper and had a bow on top. They wondered what was inside. They asked their mom, but she said it was a surprise for later. She told them not to touch it.
+
+But Tim and Lily were very curious and enthusiastic. They wanted to see the surprise now. They waited until their mom went to the kitchen, and then they ran to the box. They tried to open it gently, but the paper was too hard. They decided to tear it with their hands.
+
+They ripped the paper and the bow, and opened the box. Inside, they saw a beautiful cake with candles and frosting. It had their names and "Happy Birthday" written on it. They were so happy and excited. They forgot that it was their mom's birthday, not theirs.
+
+They reached for the cake, but then they heard their mom's voice. She came back to the living room and saw the mess. She was very angry and sad. She shouted at them, "What have you done? You ruined my birthday cake! How could you be so naughty and selfish?"
+
+Tim and Lily felt very bad and sorry. They realized they had made a big mistake. They tried to apologize, but their mom was too upset. She took away their toys and sent them to their room. They cried and wished they had listened to their mom. They learned that tearing stuff was not a good way to find surprises.
+Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play together. One day, they want to play with scissors. They find scissors in the kitchen. They think scissors are fun.
+
+They go to the bathroom. They see the bathtub. The bathtub is long and white. They have an idea. They want to cut the bathtub. They think it will be funny.
+
+They start to cut the bathtub with the scissors. They make a big hole in the bathtub. Water comes out of the hole. The water is everywhere. The bathroom is wet.
+
+Mom hears the water. She runs to the bathroom. She sees Tom and Lily. She sees the scissors and the bathtub. She is angry and scared.
+
+"What are you doing?" she asks. "Why did you cut the bathtub?"
+
+Tom and Lily look at Mom. They are sorry. They do not know what to say.
+
+"We wanted to play," Tom says.
+
+"We did not know," Lily says.
+
+Mom sighs. She takes the scissors from them. She tells them to go to their room. She calls Dad. She needs help to fix the bathtub. She hopes Tom and Lily will learn their lesson.
+Tom and Amy were friends who liked to play outside. They lived near a big ranch with many cows and horses. Sometimes they would sneak into the ranch and pet the animals. They thought it was fun and exciting.
+
+One day, they saw a big orange truck parked near the ranch. It had a hose and a tank on it. They were curious and went closer to look. They saw a man wearing a mask and a suit. He was spraying something from the hose onto the grass and the trees.
+
+"Hey, what are you doing?" Tom asked the man.
+
+"Go away, kids. This is none of your business. I'm spreading a special fertilizer to make the plants grow better," the man said.
+
+"That sounds cool. Can we try?" Amy asked.
+
+"No, you can't. This is dangerous. It's not for kids. Now get out of here before I call the rancher," the man said.
+
+But Tom and Amy did not listen. They waited until the man was busy and then they ran to the truck. They climbed on it and found the hose. They thought it would be fun to spray each other with the fertilizer. They did not know that it was really a poison that the man was using to kill the plants and the animals. He was a bad man who wanted to ruin the ranch.
+
+They sprayed each other and laughed. They did not feel anything at first. But soon they started to feel sick. They felt dizzy and weak. They had trouble breathing. They fell to the ground and did not get up.
+
+The man saw them and was angry. He did not care that they were hurt. He just wanted to finish his job and get away. He left them there and drove off.
+
+The rancher came later and found them. He was sad and shocked. He called for help, but it was too late. Tom and Amy were gone. They had died from the poison. They had made a big mistake. They should have listened to the man and stayed away from the truck. They should have respected the ranch and the animals. They should have been more careful and smart. But they were not. And now they were no more.
+Tim and Jen were playing on the porch with their toys. They liked to make pretend houses and cars and animals with their blocks and dolls. Tim had a red car that he made with four wheels and a roof. Jen had a pink house that she made with a door and a window.
+
+"Look at my car!" Tim said. "It can go fast and make loud noises. Vroom, vroom!"
+
+"Look at my house!" Jen said. "It is cozy and pretty. It has a flower and a bird. Tweet, tweet!"
+
+They were having fun until Jen saw something shiny on the porch. It was a pair of scissors that Mom had left there by mistake. Jen was curious and picked them up.
+
+"Hey, what are those?" Tim asked.
+
+"They are shiny and sharp," Jen said. "They can cut things. Snip, snip!"
+
+Jen wanted to try the scissors on her house. She cut the door and the window and the flower and the bird. She made holes and tears in her house.
+
+"Stop it!" Tim said. "You are ruining your house. That is not nice!"
+
+But Jen did not listen. She was persistent and kept cutting. She cut Tim's car too. She cut the wheels and the roof and the noise. She made scratches and dents in his car.
+
+"Stop it!" Tim said again. "You are ruining my car too. That is not nice!"
+
+But Jen still did not listen. She was persistent and kept cutting. She cut the porch too. She cut the wood and the paint and the nails. She made cracks and chips and splinters in the porch.
+
+"Stop it!" Tim said louder. "You are ruining the porch too. That is not nice!"
+
+But Jen still did not listen. She was persistent and kept cutting. She cut her finger too. She cut the skin and the blood and the pain. She made a wound and a cry and a tear in her finger.
+
+"Ow!" Jen said. "That hurts!"
+
+She dropped the scissors and held her finger. She looked at her house and Tim's car and the porch. She saw what she had done. She felt sorry and sad.
+
+"I'm sorry," Jen said. "I was bad. I did not mean to hurt you or me or the porch."
+
+Tim saw Jen's finger and her face. He felt sorry and kind.
+
+"It's okay," Tim said. "I forgive you. But you should not play with sharp things. They are dangerous. They can hurt you and me and the porch."
+
+He gave Jen a hug and a band-aid. He helped her fix her house and his car and the porch. They said sorry to Mom and promised to be careful. They played on the porch again with their toys. They liked to make pretend houses and cars and animals with their blocks and dolls. They were happy and nice.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with blocks and build things. One day, they find a big box in the garage. It has many pieces of wood and screws and a paper with pictures. The box says "crib".
+
+"What is a crib?" Anna asks.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe it is a big bed for babies," Ben says.
+
+"Let's build it and see," Anna says.
+
+They take out the pieces and try to follow the pictures. They use a hammer and a screwdriver from Dad's toolbox. They work hard and have fun. But they don't know how to build a crib. They make many mistakes. They put the pieces in the wrong places. They use too many or too few screws. They make the crib very weird.
+
+When they finish, they look at the crib. It is not a big bed for babies. It is a small cage for animals. It has bars and holes and spikes. It is ugly and scary.
+
+"Oops," Anna says.
+
+"Uh-oh," Ben says.
+
+They hear Mom and Dad coming home. They are angry. They see the crib and the mess. They see the hammer and the screwdriver. They see the box and the paper.
+
+"Anna! Ben! What have you done?" Mom yells.
+
+"You are in big trouble!" Dad yells.
+
+Anna and Ben are scared. They run to their room and hide under the bed. They cry and hug each other. They wish they never found the box. They wish they never tried to build a crib. They wish they played with blocks instead.
+Tom and Lily were pirates. They liked to find treasure and keep it for themselves. They had a big ship with a flag and a map. One day, they saw an island with a cave. They thought there was treasure in the cave.
+
+They sailed to the island and went inside the cave. They saw a lot of shiny things. They were very happy. They filled their bags with gold and jewels. They did not see the big sign that said "Danger! Do not enter!"
+
+A loud roar came from the back of the cave. It was a dragon. The dragon was angry. It did not like pirates who took its treasure. It breathed fire and smoke. It chased Tom and Lily out of the cave.
+
+Tom and Lily ran to their ship. They were scared. They tried to escape. But they were too late. The dragon flew over them and burned their ship. It also burned their bags and their treasure. Tom and Lily jumped into the water. They had nothing left. They were ignorant. They did not read the sign. They did not respect the dragon. They learned a hard lesson.
+Sara was a little girl who liked to play with her toys. She had a doll, a car, a ball and a scale. She used the scale to weigh her toys and see which one was heavier. She liked to pretend that she was a shopkeeper and sell her toys to her friends.
+
+One day, she wanted to play with her scale, but she could not find it. She looked under her bed, in her closet, in her drawers, but the scale was nowhere. She felt sad and worried. She wondered if someone had taken it or if she had lost it.
+
+She went to her mom and asked, "Mom, have you seen my scale? I want to play with it, but I can't find it."
+
+Her mom hugged her and said, "I'm sorry, Sara, I don't know where your scale is. Maybe you left it somewhere or someone borrowed it. Why don't you try to pray and ask God to help you find it?"
+
+Sara nodded and said, "Okay, mom, I will try to pray. How do I pray?"
+
+Her mom smiled and said, "You just close your eyes and talk to God in your heart. You can tell him what you need and what you are thankful for. He loves you and he listens to you."
+
+Sara closed her eyes and said in her heart, "Dear God, please help me find my scale. I like to play with it and I miss it. Thank you for giving me my toys and my mom and my friends. Amen."
+
+She opened her eyes and felt a little better. She decided to look for her scale again. She went to the living room and saw her brother playing with his blocks. She asked him, "Brother, have you seen my scale? I want to play with it, but I can't find it."
+
+Her brother looked at her and said, "Oh, Sara, I'm sorry, I forgot to tell you. I borrowed your scale yesterday to weigh my blocks. I wanted to see which one was heavier. I put it back in your toy box. Here, you can have it."
+
+He gave her the scale and said, "I'm sorry for taking it without asking. Do you forgive me?"
+
+Sara smiled and said, "Yes, I forgive you. Thank you for giving it back. Do you want to play with me?"
+
+Her brother nodded and said, "Yes, I want to play with you. You have nice toys. Can I use your car?"
+
+Sara said, "Sure, you can use my car. And I can use your ball. We can share our toys and have fun."
+
+They hugged and went to play together. Sara was happy and thankful. She thought that God had answered her prayer. She realized that her scale was not an ordinary toy, but a special one that she loved. She decided to take good care of it and not lose it again.
+Lila and Tom are playing in the park. They see a big pile of leaves. They want to jump in it.
+
+"Come on, Lila, let's jump!" Tom says.
+
+"No, I don't want to," Lila says. She is scared. She thinks there might be bugs or worms in the leaves.
+
+"Don't be silly, Lila, it's fun!" Tom says. He runs and jumps in the pile. He laughs and throws leaves in the air.
+
+Lila watches him. She sees a big, thick leaf on the ground. She picks it up. It is red and yellow and brown. She likes it. She holds it to her face and smells it. It smells like fall.
+
+"Look, Tom, I found a pretty leaf!" Lila says. She shows him the leaf.
+
+"That's nice, Lila, but you should try jumping too. It's more fun than a leaf," Tom says.
+
+"No, I like my leaf. I don't want to jump," Lila says. She refuses to let go of the leaf.
+
+Tom shrugs. He jumps again. He makes a loud noise. He tries to scare Lila.
+
+"Boo!" Tom says.
+
+Lila is not scared. She smiles. She likes her leaf. She thinks it is more fun than jumping. She puts it in her pocket. She walks away.
+
+"Bye, Tom, I'm going home with my leaf," Lila says.
+
+"Bye, Lila, have fun with your leaf," Tom says.
+
+He keeps jumping. He thinks it is more fun than a leaf.
+Lisa and Ben are friends. They like to play and act. They act like animals, like people, like anything. They have fun.
+
+One day, they act like pizza makers. They use pillows, blankets and toys to make pizza. Lisa says, "I am the chef. I make the pizza. You are the helper. You bring the pizza to the people."
+
+Ben says, "OK. I am the helper. I bring the pizza to the people. What kind of pizza do you make?"
+
+Lisa says, "I make cheese pizza. Cheese pizza is popular. Everyone likes cheese pizza."
+
+Ben says, "I like cheese pizza too. Can I have some?"
+
+Lisa says, "Sure. Here is your pizza. It is hot and yummy. Be careful. Don't burn your mouth."
+
+Ben says, "Thank you. You are a good chef. This is a good pizza. Can we act like pizza makers again?"
+
+Lisa says, "Yes. We can act like pizza makers anytime. We can make different kinds of pizza. We can make pepperoni pizza, mushroom pizza, pineapple pizza. We can make pizza for everyone."
+
+They smile and eat their pizza. They are happy. They are good friends. They like to play and act.
+Anna and Ben were very sad. They had to move to a new house far away from their old friends. They did not like the new house. It was cold and dark and smelled bad. They had to unpack their toys and clothes from big boxes. They did not want to unpack. They wanted to go back to their old house.
+
+"Can we play outside?" Ben asked his mom.
+
+"No, not yet. You have to unpack first. And be careful. There are wolves in the woods. They are big and scary and hungry. They might eat you if you go too far," mom said.
+
+Anna and Ben did not believe mom. They thought she was just trying to make them unpack faster. They did not think there were any wolves in the woods. They thought mom was silly.
+
+They unpacked some of their toys and clothes, but they did not put them away. They left them on the floor and on the bed. They were bored and unhappy. They wanted to have some fun.
+
+They decided to sneak outside when mom was not looking. They put on their coats and hats and ran to the back door. They opened the door and ran into the yard. They saw the woods behind the house. They looked dark and mysterious.
+
+"Let's go and explore!" Anna said.
+
+"OK, but don't go too far. We don't want mom to find out," Ben said.
+
+They ran into the woods. They saw trees and rocks and flowers and birds. They felt happy and free. They forgot about the wolves.
+
+They did not see the eyes watching them from behind a bush. They did not hear the growl. They did not smell the fur. They did not know they were in danger.
+Lily and Max are friends. They like to play together at the park. They like to run, jump, and swing. They say that is good exercise.
+
+One day, they see a big log on the grass. They want to climb on it. But the log is too high for them. They need a way to get on it.
+
+"Maybe we can split the log," Max says. "Then it will be lower."
+
+"How can we split it?" Lily asks. "We are too small."
+
+Max thinks for a moment. He sees a big rock near the log. He has an idea.
+
+"I can use the rock to hit the log," he says. "Maybe it will break."
+
+He picks up the rock and carries it to the log. It is heavy, but he is strong. He swings the rock and hits the log hard. He does it again and again.
+
+Lily watches him. She cheers for him. She thinks he is dependable. He does not give up.
+
+After a while, the log makes a loud crack. It splits in two. Max and Lily are happy. They can climb on the log now. They hug each other and smile.
+
+They have fun on the log. They pretend it is a boat, a bridge, and a castle. They exercise their bodies and their imaginations. They are glad they are friends.
+Sam and Mia liked to look at the stars at night. They wondered what was beyond the sky. One day, they found a big book with pictures of the universe. The book showed planets, moons, stars, and other things that they had never seen before.
+
+"Wow, look at this!" Sam said, pointing to a page with an enormous red ball. "This is the sun. It is very hot and bright. It gives us light and warmth."
+
+"I want to see it up close!" Mia said. "Can we go there?"
+
+Sam shook his head. "No, we can't. It is too far and too hot. We would burn and melt."
+
+"Then how can we see it better?" Mia asked.
+
+Sam thought for a moment. He had an idea. He grabbed a cardboard box and some crayons. He cut out a hole in the box and drew a sun on one side. He put the box over his head and said, "Look, I am the sun!"
+
+Mia laughed. She took another box and drew a moon on it. She put it over her head and said, "And I am the moon!"
+
+They pretended to be the sun and the moon, moving around the room. They had fun making noises and faces. They pushed each other gently, pretending to orbit and eclipse.
+
+They played until their mom called them for dinner. They took off their boxes and put them away. They ran to the kitchen, hungry and happy. They had learned something new about the universe. They decided to look at the stars again that night. Maybe they would see their sun and moon friends.
+Anna was a bird who liked to soar in the sky. She felt happy and free when she flew high and fast. She had many friends who also liked to soar with her. They played games and sang songs in the air.
+
+One day, Anna saw a big and shiny branch on a tall tree. She wanted to land on it and see how it felt. She told her friends to follow her. They all flew towards the branch. But when they got closer, they saw that the branch was not a branch. It was a snake!
+
+The snake was hungry and angry. It opened its mouth and snapped at the birds. Anna and her friends were scared and tried to fly away. But the snake was too quick and caught Anna in its jaws. Anna screamed and felt pain. The snake swallowed her whole.
+
+The other birds were sad and shocked. They flew away from the tree and never came back. They missed Anna very much. They wished they had not followed her to the branch. They learned to be careful and not trust things that looked too good. They still liked to soar in the sky, but they always remembered Anna and her mistake.
+Lily was a little bird who lived in a nest with her mom and dad. She liked to sing and fly and play with her friends. But she did not like to eat worms. Worms were slimy and yucky and made her feel sick.
+
+One day, mom bird brought back some worms for lunch. She gave one to Lily and said, "Eat up, my dear. Worms are good for you. They make you strong and healthy."
+
+Lily looked at the worm and made a face. She did not want to eat it. She said, "No, mom. I don't like worms. They are gross. I want something else."
+
+Mom bird sighed. She said, "Lily, you are a bird. Birds eat worms. You can't be picky. There is nothing else to eat. You have to eat what I bring you."
+
+Lily shook her head. She said, "No, mom. I want something else. I want berries. Berries are sweet and juicy and make me happy."
+
+Mom bird said, "Berries are hard to find. They are not in season. And they are not enough for a growing bird. You need worms. Now stop complaining and eat your worm."
+
+Lily still did not want to eat the worm. She said, "No, mom. I want berries. I want berries. I want berries."
+
+Mom bird was getting angry. She said, "Lily, you are being naughty and rude. You are wasting food and time. You are making me sad. If you don't eat your worm, I will give it to someone else."
+
+Lily did not care. She said, "Fine, mom. Give it to someone else. I don't want it. I want berries."
+
+Mom bird said, "Okay, Lily. Have it your way. I will give your worm to someone else. But don't come crying to me when you are hungry and cold."
+
+She took the worm and flew away. She saw a big black crow sitting on a branch. She said, "Hello, crow. Do you want a worm? I have an extra one. My daughter doesn't want it."
+
+The crow said, "Yes, please. I love worms. They are tasty and filling and make me smart."
+
+He took the worm and ate it. He said, "Thank you, bird. That was a nice worm. You are very kind."
+
+Mom bird said, "You're welcome, crow. I'm glad you liked it. Have a good day."
+
+She flew back to her nest. She saw Lily sitting there, looking sad and hungry. She said, "Lily, are you ready to eat your worm now?"
+
+Lily said, "Yes, mom. I'm sorry, mom. I was silly and stubborn. I should have listened to you. Can I have a worm, please?"
+
+Mom bird said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I don't have any more worms. I gave your worm to the crow. He was very happy and grateful. He said worms are good for him."
+
+Lily said, "Oh, mom. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I made a mistake. I want a worm. I want a worm. I want a worm."
+
+Mom bird said, "I'm sorry, Lily. There are no more worms. You have to wait until dinner. Maybe then I can find some berries for you. But you have to promise me that you will not complain and that you will eat what I bring you."
+
+Lily said, "I promise, mom. I promise. I will not complain. I will eat what you bring me. I love you, mom."
+
+Mom bird said, "I love you too, Lily. Now let's cuddle and keep warm. And maybe sing a song."
+
+They cuddled and sang a song. Lily learned her lesson. She never complained about worms again. She ate what mom bird brought her. And sometimes, she even got some berries.
+Lily liked to collect rocks. She had many rocks of different colors and shapes in her basket. She liked to look at them and feel them with her fingers. She thought they were pretty and special.
+
+One day, she went to the park with her mom. She saw a man playing a guitar under a tree. He was a musician. He sang songs and made sounds with his guitar. Lily liked his music. She thought he was attractive. He had a big smile and curly hair.
+
+She walked up to him and said, "Hello, I like your music. Can I give you a rock?"
+
+The musician looked at her and smiled. He said, "Hello, thank you. You are very kind. What is your name?"
+
+"I am Lily. I collect rocks. This is my basket. Do you want to see?" Lily said.
+
+She showed him her basket and picked out a shiny blue rock. She said, "This is my favorite rock. It is blue like the sky. You can have it. It is a gift."
+
+The musician took the rock and thanked her. He said, "This is a beautiful rock. It is a very nice gift. I will keep it with me always. It will remind me of you and your music."
+
+He put the rock in his pocket and played a song for Lily. Lily clapped and danced. She was happy. She made a new friend.
+Tom and Lily wanted to have a picnic in the park. They packed some bread, cheese, fruit and juice in a basket. They also brought a big blanket to sit on.
+
+They walked to the park with their mom and dad. They saw many flowers, birds and squirrels. They found a nice spot under a big tree. They spread the blanket on the grass and put the basket on it.
+
+"Can we eat now?" Tom asked. He was very hungry.
+
+"Not yet, Tom. We have to say thank you first," Mom said. She told them to kneel on the blanket and hold hands. They closed their eyes and said a prayer.
+
+"Thank you, God, for this food and this day and this family. Amen," they said together.
+
+"Good job, kids. Now you can eat," Dad said. He opened the basket and gave them each a plate.
+
+They enjoyed their picnic very much. They shared their food and talked and laughed. They also fed some bread to the birds and squirrels.
+
+But then, the sky turned dark and the wind blew hard. They heard thunder and saw lightning. It was going to rain.
+
+"Oh no, our picnic!" Lily cried. She was scared of the storm.
+
+"Don't worry, Lily. We can pack up quickly and go home," Mom said. She told them to help her fold the blanket and put the basket in the car.
+
+They ran to the car as the rain started to fall. They were wet and cold, but they were safe.
+
+"That was a harsh storm," Dad said. He turned on the heater and the radio.
+
+"But we had a fun picnic," Tom said. He hugged his sister.
+
+"Yes, we did," Lily said. She smiled.
+
+They drove home, happy and grateful. They hoped to have another picnic soon, on a sunny day.
+Tom and Mia liked to play in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. One day, they saw a big hole in the ground. They were curious. They wanted to see what was inside.
+
+"Let's go and look," Tom said.
+
+"OK, but be careful," Mia said.
+
+They went to the hole and peeked inside. They saw something white and hard. It looked like bones. It was a skeleton.
+
+"Wow, look at that!" Tom said. "It's a skeleton. Maybe it was a dinosaur or a pirate."
+
+"Or maybe it was a person," Mia said. "Maybe someone buried him here a long time ago."
+
+They felt sad for the skeleton. They wondered who he was and why he was there.
+
+"Maybe we should care for him," Tom said. "Maybe we should give him a name and a toy."
+
+"OK, let's do that," Mia said. "Let's call him Sam and give him this ball."
+
+They found a ball nearby and put it next to the skeleton. They hoped he would like it.
+
+They said goodbye to Sam and went back to play. They decided to visit him again soon. They felt happy that they had a new friend.
+
+The end.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to look for bugs and flowers. Lily saw a big bug with many legs and a shiny back. She wanted to catch it and show Tom.
+
+"Look, Tom, a big bug!" she said. "I want to see it. Come with me!"
+
+She ran after the bug, but it was fast and clever. It hid under a leaf, then under a rock, then under a stick. Lily could not catch it. She was angry and sad.
+
+Tom followed Lily, but he was careful. He knew some bugs could bite or sting. He did not want to hurt the bug or himself.
+
+"Lily, stop!" he said. "That bug is not nice. It can hurt you. It is a foolish bug. Let it go!"
+
+But Lily did not listen. She kept chasing the bug. She reached out her hand to grab it. But the bug was not foolish. It was smart. It turned around and bit Lily's finger. Lily screamed and let go of the bug. It ran away.
+
+Lily cried and ran to Tom. Tom hugged her and looked at her finger. It was red and swollen.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily," he said. "That bug was mean. Are you okay?"
+
+Lily nodded, but she still felt pain. She learned a lesson. She should not chase bugs that can hurt her. She should listen to Tom. He was a good friend. He knew many things. He helped her go to their mom. Their mom put some ice on Lily's finger and gave her a kiss. Lily felt better. She said sorry to Tom and thanked him.
+
+Tom smiled and said, "It's okay, Lily. Next time, we can look for nice bugs. Like butterflies and ladybugs. They are pretty and gentle. Do you want to do that?"
+
+Lily smiled and said, "Yes, Tom. I want to do that. You are a smart friend. I like you."
+
+They hugged and went back to the garden. They looked for nice bugs and flowers. They had fun. They were happy.
+Lily had a plant that she loved very much. She watered it every day and put it near the window to get sun. She was proud to own her plant and show it to her friends.
+
+One day, Lily's brother Tom was bored and wanted to play. He saw Lily's plant and thought it looked fun. He took it from the window and ran outside with it. He threw it in the air and caught it. He swung it around and made noises.
+
+Lily heard Tom and ran after him. She saw him playing with her plant and was very upset. She shouted, "Tom, stop! That's my plant! You're hurting it!"
+
+Tom did not listen. He laughed and said, "It's just a plant. It's not alive. It can't feel anything."
+
+He threw the plant one more time, but this time he missed. The plant fell on the ground and broke. The pot shattered and the soil spilled. The stem snapped and the leaves wilted.
+
+Lily cried and ran to her plant. She tried to fix it, but it was too late. Her plant was dead. She looked at Tom with anger and sadness. She said, "You're mean, Tom. You killed my plant. I hate you!"
+
+Tom felt sorry and scared. He did not mean to kill the plant. He just wanted to have fun. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I didn't know. Please don't hate me."
+
+But Lily did not forgive him. She ran inside and told their mom what Tom did. Mom was angry and punished Tom. She made him stay in his room and clean up the mess. She also took away his toys and said he could not play for a week.
+
+Tom was miserable and lonely. He wished he had not touched Lily's plant. He learned his lesson, but it was too late. He lost his sister's trust and love. He owned nothing but his guilt and regret.
+Tom was a restless boy. He did not like to sit still or listen to his mom. He liked to run and jump and play. He also liked to roar like a lion. He thought it was fun to scare his sister and his cat.
+
+One day, Tom found a bug in the garden. It was big and green and had wings. Tom wanted to catch it and keep it as a pet. He ran after it and tried to grab it. But the bug was fast and flew away. Tom roared and chased it some more.
+
+The bug flew over the fence and into the woods. Tom did not care. He climbed over the fence and followed it. He did not see his mom calling him to come back. He did not hear the sounds of the animals in the woods. He only saw the bug.
+
+He finally caught the bug in his hand. He was happy and proud. He roared again and held the bug up to his face. He wanted to look at it closely. But the bug did not like to be caught. It bit Tom on his nose. It hurt a lot. Tom dropped the bug and cried.
+
+Then he heard another roar. It was not his roar. It was a big and loud roar. It came from behind a tree. Tom turned around and saw a bear. The bear was angry and hungry. It saw Tom and his bug. It wanted to eat them both. Tom was scared and sorry. He wished he had listened to his mom. He wished he had not roared like a lion. He wished he had stayed in the garden. But it was too late. The bear ran towards him and pounced. The end.
+Lily loves her horse. His name is Max. He is big and brown and has a long tail. Lily likes to brush his hair and make him clean. She also likes to ride him in the field and give him apples.
+
+One day, Lily and Max meet a new friend. He is a boy with a red hat. His name is Ben. He has a bike with two wheels. He says hello to Lily and Max.
+
+"Hi, I am Ben. What is your name?" he asks.
+
+"I am Lily. This is Max. He is my horse," Lily says.
+
+"Wow, he is a nice horse. He is very clean. Can I pet him?" Ben says.
+
+"Yes, you can. He likes people. He is gentle and friendly," Lily says.
+
+Ben pets Max and gives him a carrot. Max wags his tail and nuzzles Ben. Lily smiles and says, "Do you want to ride him with me? He can go fast and slow."
+
+"Sure, I would love to. I have never ridden a horse before. Can you show me how?" Ben says.
+
+"Of course. Come on, I will help you. It is easy and fun," Lily says.
+
+Lily and Ben climb on Max and hold on to his mane. Lily tells Max to go and he starts to trot. They ride around the field and laugh. They have a good time. They are happy. They are friends.
+Lucy loved to visit her aunt. Her aunt had a big house with a garden and many toys. Lucy liked to play with her aunt's dog, Spot. Spot was adorable. He had soft fur and a wet nose. He liked to lick Lucy's face and run after balls.
+
+One day, Lucy and her aunt went to the park. They saw many children and animals. Lucy and Spot ran and jumped on the grass. They made new friends. Lucy shared her snacks with a girl named Mia. Mia had a doll with a pink dress. Lucy liked the doll. Mia liked Spot.
+
+"Can I hold your doll?" Lucy asked Mia.
+
+"Sure, you can. She is very nice. Her name is Lily," Mia said.
+
+"Can I pet your dog?" Mia asked Lucy.
+
+"Sure, you can. He is very friendly. His name is Spot," Lucy said.
+
+Lucy and Mia played with the doll and the dog. They had fun. They laughed and hugged. They were happy.
+
+But soon, it was time to go home. Lucy and Mia were sad. They did not want to part.
+
+"Bye, Mia. I hope I see you again," Lucy said.
+
+"Bye, Lucy. I hope so too," Mia said.
+
+They gave each other the doll and the dog. They waved goodbye.
+
+Lucy and her aunt walked back to the car. Spot followed them. Lucy held the doll in her arms. She smiled.
+
+"Did you have a good time, Lucy?" her aunt asked.
+
+"Yes, I did. I made a new friend. And I have a new doll. Thank you, auntie," Lucy said.
+
+"You're welcome, Lucy. I'm glad you're happy. You're adorable," her aunt said.
+
+They hugged and kissed. They drove home. Lucy fell asleep with the doll and the dog. She dreamed of Mia and the park. She was happy.
+Tom was a hero. He was very strong and brave. He helped people who were in trouble. He wore a red cape and a blue suit. He had no hair on his head. He was bald.
+
+One day, Tom saw a big fire in a house. He flew to the house and saw a woman and a child inside. They were scared and crying. Tom said, "Don't worry, I will save you. I am a hero. My name is Tom." He smiled and tried to introduce himself.
+
+But the fire was too hot and fast. It burned Tom's cape and suit. It hurt his skin and eyes. He screamed and fell to the ground. The woman and the child ran out of the house. They saw Tom lying on the ground. He was not moving. He was not smiling. He was not a hero anymore. He was just a bald man.
+Timmy was a naughty boy. He did not listen to his mommy or his daddy. He liked to break things and make a mess. He hated to share his toys or say sorry. He thought he was the boss of everyone.
+
+One day, Timmy was playing with his blocks in his room. He heard his mommy call him for lunch. He did not want to go. He wanted to keep playing. He yelled, "No! Go away!" He threw a block at the door. It hit his mommy's face. She cried out in pain.
+
+Mommy was very angry and sad. She opened the door and saw Timmy's room. It was terrible. There were blocks and books and clothes everywhere. She saw Timmy's belt on the floor. He had taken it from his daddy's closet. She picked it up and said, "Timmy, you are a very bad boy. You hurt mommy and you made a big mess. You need a time out. And you need a spanking."
+
+Timmy was scared. He did not like spankings. They hurt a lot. He tried to run away, but mommy was faster. She grabbed him and put him on her lap. She used the belt to spank him on his bottom. Timmy screamed and cried. He said, "Stop! Stop! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"
+
+Mommy spanked him until he stopped kicking and yelling. She put him in the corner and said, "You stay here until I say so. You think about what you did. You say a prayer and ask God to forgive you. And you say sorry to mommy and daddy. Do you understand?"
+
+Timmy nodded. He was very sorry. He hated the belt. He hated being naughty. He hated making mommy and daddy sad. He wanted to be a good boy. He wanted to hug mommy and say sorry. He wanted to eat lunch and play nicely. He wanted to be happy. He learned his lesson. He never threw blocks or yelled again.
+Ben and Lily were friends who liked to play with cars. They had many cars of different colors and sizes, but their favorite was a big red car that made loud noises. They pretended that the car was real and that they could drive it anywhere.
+
+One day, they saw a new car in the street. It was shiny and white and had a sign that said "For Sale". Ben and Lily ran to the car and looked inside. It had leather seats, a radio, and a big wheel. They wished they could have the car.
+
+"Can we borrow this car?" Ben asked Lily.
+
+"I don't know," Lily said. "Maybe we should ask the owner first."
+
+But they did not see anyone around. The car was parked in front of a big house with a fence and a gate. The house looked wealthy and fancy. Ben and Lily thought that the owner must have many cars and would not mind if they borrowed one.
+
+"Let's go," Ben said. "We can take the car for a little ride and bring it back later. The owner will never know."
+
+Lily was scared, but she wanted to try the car too. She nodded and followed Ben. They opened the door and climbed inside. They put on the seat belts and turned the key. The car started and made a purring sound.
+
+"Wow, this is amazing!" Ben said. He grabbed the wheel and pushed the pedal. The car moved forward and left the street.
+
+Ben and Lily were very happy. They drove the car around the town, passing by shops, parks, and schools. They waved at the people they saw and honked the horn. They felt like grown-ups.
+
+But they did not notice that the car had a problem. The gas meter was low and the car needed more gas. They also did not see that the owner of the car had come out of the house and saw them driving away. He was very angry and called the police.
+
+Soon, the car ran out of gas and stopped in the middle of the road. Ben and Lily tried to start it again, but it did not work. They looked around and saw a police car behind them. The police officer got out and walked to them.
+
+"Hello, kids," he said. "Do you know whose car this is?"
+
+Ben and Lily felt very scared. They knew they had done something bad. They wished they had never borrowed the car. They wished they had listened to Lily. They wished they had stayed with their own cars. They learned a hard lesson that day.
+Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a zip on their coats. The zip keeps them warm.
+
+One day, they see a tap in the park. The tap has water. Sara and Ben are thirsty. They want to drink the water.
+
+"Can we drink the water?" Sara asks Ben.
+
+"I don't know," Ben says. "Maybe the water is not nice. Maybe it is dirty."
+
+Sara and Ben look at the tap. The water looks clear. They smell the water. The water smells good.
+
+"Let's try it," Sara says. She opens the tap. She puts her mouth under the water. She drinks the water.
+
+"Mmm, the water is nice," Sara says. "It is cold and fresh. You try it, Ben."
+
+Ben opens the tap. He puts his mouth under the water. He drinks the water.
+
+"Mmm, you are right, Sara," Ben says. "The water is nice. It is cold and fresh. I like it."
+
+Sara and Ben smile. They close the tap. They zip their coats. They run to the swings. They are happy. They have a nice day in the park.
+Sara and Tom were friends. They liked to play and speak with each other. One day, they saw a big parade on the street. There were many people, cars, and animals. They made a lot of noise.
+
+Sara and Tom wanted to see the parade. But they were too small. They could not see over the people. They tried to move closer, but the people pushed them back. Sara and Tom felt sad and angry.
+
+They saw a big tree near the street. They had an idea. They climbed the tree. They could see the parade very well. They were happy. They spoke and laughed.
+
+But the people under the tree did not like their noise. They wanted to hear the parade. They shouted at Sara and Tom. They told them to be quiet. They threw things at them. Sara and Tom felt scared and hurt.
+
+They climbed down the tree. They ran away from the people. They found a quiet place. They hugged each other. They learned a lesson. They learned to be respectful of others. They learned to share the joy of the parade. They learned to be quiet when others want to listen.
+Ben and Lily love to play in the park. They like to swing, climb and run. But their favorite thing is to slide. They slide down the big slide, the small slide and the twisty slide. They laugh and shout as they go fast and feel the wind.
+
+One day, they see a new slide in the park. It is very long and shiny. It looks like fun. Ben and Lily run to the new slide. They want to try it. But when they get there, they see a problem. The slide is covered with butter. Someone has put butter on the slide. It is slippery and yellow.
+
+Ben and Lily are sad. They cannot slide on the butter slide. It is too dangerous. They might fall and hurt themselves. They wonder who did this. They look around. They see a boy in the distant corner of the park. He is holding a big jar of butter. He is smiling. He is the one who put butter on the slide. He thinks it is funny.
+
+Ben and Lily are angry. They do not like the boy. He is mean and naughty. He has spoiled their fun. They want to tell him to stop. They want to tell him to clean the slide. They want to tell him to say sorry. But they are afraid. He is bigger than them. He might be rude or hurt them.
+
+They do not know what to do. They look at the butter slide. They look at the boy. They look at each other. They have an idea. They whisper to each other. They nod and smile. They have a plan. They take some butter from the slide. They sneak behind the boy. They throw the butter at him. He is surprised and angry. He is covered with butter. He slips and falls. He cries and runs away.
+
+Ben and Lily are happy. They have taught the boy a lesson. They have made him go away. They have saved the slide. They clean the slide with some leaves and water. They make it shiny and smooth again. They slide down the slide. They laugh and shout as they go fast and feel the wind. They have fun. They are friends. They are brave. They are clever. They love to slide.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They saw a big bird with brown feathers and a long neck. The bird was sitting on a nest with many eggs.
+
+"Look, Tom, eggs!" Lily said. "Can we take one?"
+
+"No, Lily, we can't," Tom said. "The bird will mind. The eggs are her babies. She will be angry if we touch them."
+
+"But I want to see the eggs," Lily said. "They are pretty and round. Maybe they have spots or stripes."
+
+Lily walked towards the nest. The bird saw her and made a loud noise. She stretched her neck and opened her beak. She looked scary.
+
+"Stop, Lily, stop!" Tom said. "The bird will bite you. She is protecting her eggs. Come back here."
+
+Lily was scared. She ran back to Tom. The bird calmed down and sat on her eggs again.
+
+"I'm sorry, Tom," Lily said. "I was silly. I should have listened to you. You are wise."
+
+"It's okay, Lily," Tom said. "You are brave. But we should not bother the bird. She is a mother. She loves her eggs. We should respect her."
+
+Lily and Tom nodded. They decided to play somewhere else. They left the bird and her eggs in peace.
+Sara did not like night. Night was dark and quiet and scary. She always wanted to sleep with Mom and Dad, but they said she was a big girl and had to sleep in her own bed. Sara tried to be brave, but she was afraid of the shadows and the noises in her room.
+
+One night, Sara heard a loud thump under her bed. She was very scared and wanted to scream, but she covered her mouth with her hand. She thought maybe it was a monster or a bad animal. She peeked under her bed and saw a big furry thing with sharp teeth and claws. It was a bear!
+
+Sara was so scared that she forgot to be quiet. She screamed, "Help! Help! There is a bear under my bed!" Mom and Dad heard her and ran to her room. They turned on the light and saw the bear. But it was not a real bear. It was Sara's teddy bear that she had thrown away because it was old and dirty.
+
+Mom and Dad laughed and hugged Sara. They said, "It's okay, Sara. It's just your teddy bear. You must have heard it fall from the trash can. It's not scary, it's your friend." Sara felt silly and ashamed. She said, "I'm sorry, Mom and Dad. I was scared of my own teddy bear. Can I keep him?" Mom and Dad said, "Of course, you can. But you have to wash him and take care of him. And you have to sleep in your own bed. You are a big girl, remember?" Sara nodded and smiled. She said, "Okay, Mom and Dad. I will sleep in my own bed. But can I have my teddy bear with me?" Mom and Dad said, "Yes, you can. He will keep you company and protect you from the dark and the noise. Good night, Sara. We love you." Sara said, "Good night, Mom and Dad. I love you too. And I love my teddy bear." She hugged her teddy bear and fell asleep. She did not have any more scary dreams.
+Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play in the garden. They saw many flowers of different colors and shapes. Lily liked the pink ones that smelled sweet. Tom liked the yellow ones that looked like stars.
+
+One day, they saw a new flower that was very big and bright. It was red and had a square shape in the middle. Lily and Tom wanted to touch it and smell it.
+
+"Look, Tom, a new flower! It is so pretty!" Lily said.
+
+"Yes, Lily, it is. Let's go and see it!" Tom said.
+
+They ran towards the flower, but they did not see the sign that said "Dangerous! Do not touch!" The flower was not a real flower, but a trap. It had sharp teeth and a hungry mouth. When Lily and Tom got close, the flower opened its mouth and snapped at them.
+
+"Help, Lily, help!" Tom shouted.
+
+"Tom, Tom!" Lily screamed.
+
+But it was too late. The flower ate them both in one bite. They were gone. The flower closed its mouth and waited for the next visitors. It was a very bad flower. It did not bloom to make the garden beautiful, but to catch food. Lily and Tom should have listened to the sign and stayed away from the dangerous flower. But they did not, and they paid a high price. The end.
+Anna and Ben are best friends. They like to play in the park with their toys. One day, they see a big purple balloon in the sky. It is very distant, but they can see it shining in the sun.
+
+"Wow, look at that balloon!" Anna says. "It is so pretty and big!"
+
+"I want to touch it!" Ben says. "Let's run and catch it!"
+
+They start to run after the balloon, but it is too fast and too high. They run and run, but they cannot reach it. They feel sad and tired.
+
+"Maybe we can ask someone to help us," Anna says. "Maybe they have a ladder or a rope."
+
+They look around and see a man with a cart. He is selling ice cream and balloons. He has many colors of balloons, but no purple ones.
+
+"Hello, sir," Ben says. "Can you help us? We want to catch that purple balloon in the sky. Do you have a ladder or a rope?"
+
+The man smiles and shakes his head. "No, I don't have a ladder or a rope. But I have something better. I have a special balloon for you. It is purple and it has a string. You can hold it and it will not fly away."
+
+He gives them a purple balloon with a string. Anna and Ben are very happy. They thank the man and pay him with their coins. They hold the balloon and play with it in the park. They forget about the distant balloon in the sky. They are very excited and have a lot of fun.
+Anna and Ben are playing in their room. They have many toys, but they like to make new ones with their socks. They take their socks off and fill them with cotton balls. Then they tie the ends and draw faces on them with markers. They have a large sock family now.
+
+"Look, this is Mommy sock and this is Daddy sock," Anna says, holding two large socks. "They are very happy and love each other."
+
+"And this is Baby sock and this is Doggy sock," Ben says, holding two small socks. "They are very cute and like to play together."
+
+Anna and Ben seat on the floor and make their sock family talk and hug and sing. They have a lot of fun and laugh a lot.
+
+But then they hear a knock on the door. It is their real mommy and daddy. They come in and see the sock family.
+
+"What are you doing, my sweeties?" Mommy asks, smiling.
+
+"We are playing with our sock family," Anna says, showing her Mommy sock.
+
+"They are very nice, but where are your real socks?" Daddy asks, looking at their bare feet.
+
+Anna and Ben look at each other and giggle. They forgot to put their socks back on.
+
+"Oops, we are sorry," they say.
+
+Mommy and Daddy laugh too. They hug their children and help them put their socks on.
+
+"Your sock family is very creative, but your real family is very warm," Mommy says.
+
+"We love you, Mommy and Daddy," Anna and Ben say.
+
+They love their sock family, but they love their real family more.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to swing on the swings and slide on the slides. They saw a big van parked near the gate. It was red and shiny and had a picture of a dog on the side.
+
+"Wow, look at that van!" Tom said. "It is so cool. I want to see the dog."
+
+"Me too!" Lily said. "Let's go and say hi."
+
+They ran to the van and knocked on the door. A man opened it and looked at them. He was not happy.
+
+"Who are you?" he asked. "What do you want?"
+
+"We want to see the dog," Tom said. "We like dogs. Can we pet him?"
+
+The man shook his head. He was ignorant. He did not like kids.
+
+"No, you can't," he said. "This is my van and my dog. Go away and leave me alone."
+
+He slammed the door and locked it. Tom and Lily were sad and confused. They did not understand why the man was so mean.
+
+"Come on, let's go back to the swings," Lily said. "Maybe he will be nicer later."
+
+They walked away from the van and tried to have fun. They hoped the dog was happy and had a friend. They wished the man was not so ignorant.
+Sara and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to slide and swing and run. They saw a big metal box with a lock. They wondered what was inside.
+
+"Let's open it!" Tom said. He tried to pull the lock, but it was too hard.
+
+"Maybe we need a key," Sara said. She looked around and saw a bunch of keys on a bench. She ran to get them.
+
+"Be careful, Sara!" Tom said. "Those keys belong to someone. They might get angry if we take them."
+
+Sara did not listen. She grabbed the keys and ran back to the box. She tried to find the right key. She had to choose from many keys. Some were big, some were small, some were shiny, some were dull.
+
+She found a key that looked like the lock. She put it in and turned it. The lock clicked and the box opened. Sara and Tom were curious. They looked inside.
+
+They saw a fierce lion. It had big teeth and claws. It roared and jumped out of the box. Sara and Tom were scared. They dropped the keys and ran away.
+
+The lion chased them. It was hungry and angry. It wanted to catch them and eat them.
+
+"Help! Help!" Sara and Tom cried. They ran to the playground. They hoped someone would save them.
+
+They saw a man with a hat and a whip. He was the lion's owner. He had left the keys on the bench. He heard the lion's roar and the children's cries. He ran to the box. He saw the lion was out. He saw Sara and Tom running.
+
+He grabbed his whip and ran after the lion. He cracked his whip and shouted at the lion. He made the lion stop and go back to the box. He locked the box and took the keys.
+
+He went to Sara and Tom. They were shaking and crying. He was sorry and angry.
+
+"I'm sorry, kids. That was very dangerous. You should never open a box that is not yours. You could have been hurt. Why did you do that?" he asked.
+
+Sara and Tom were ashamed. They knew they had done a bad thing. They had been greedy and foolish.
+
+"We wanted to see what was inside. We thought it was a treasure. We did not know it was a lion. We are sorry. Please don't be mad at us," they said.
+
+The man sighed. He was glad they were safe. He was not mad at them. He wanted to teach them a lesson.
+
+"It's okay, kids. I forgive you. But you have to learn to respect other people's things. And you have to be careful with what you choose. Sometimes, what looks like a treasure can be a trap. And sometimes, what looks like a trap can be a treasure. You never know what you will find. You have to use your head and your heart. Do you understand?" he said.
+
+Sara and Tom nodded. They understood. They thanked the man and said sorry again. They hugged each other and went back to their parents. They decided to never open a box that was not theirs again. They learned their lesson. They were happy to be alive.
+Once upon a time, there was a kind teacher named Miss Bunny. She loved to teach little animals how to read and write. One day, a little bunny named Fluffy came to her class. Fluffy was very shy and afraid to learn. But Miss Bunny made it easy for Fluffy to understand.

+Miss Bunny had a soft velvet chair that Fluffy loved to sit on. It was so comfortable! Fluffy liked to touch the velvet and feel how soft it was. Miss Bunny told Fluffy that learning was just as easy as touching the velvet.
