One day, they find a hidden desk in the corner. The desk is old and dusty. It has many drawers and a big book on top. + +"Wow, look at this desk!" Tom says. "It is so cool. I want to open the drawers and see what is inside." + +"No, I want to open them!" Mia says. "It is my turn. You always get to do everything first." + +Tom and Mia start to fight. They pull and push each other. They shout and cry. They do not share the desk. + +"Stop it, stop it!" a voice says. It is their teacher, Miss Lee. She comes to the corner and sees the hidden desk and the fighting friends. She is angry and sad. + +"Tom and Mia, what are you doing?" she asks. "Why are you fighting over a desk? Don't you know how to play nicely?" + +Tom and Mia stop fighting. They feel sorry and ashamed. They look at the desk and the book. They look at Miss Lee and each other. + +"We are sorry, Miss Lee," they say. "We wanted to see the desk and the book. But we did not ask or share. We were bad friends." + +Miss Lee smiles. She hugs them and says, "It is okay. I forgive you. But you have to learn to be good friends. The desk and the book are not yours. They belong to the school. They are very old and special. They have stories and secrets. Do you want to hear them?" + +Tom and Mia nod. They are curious and excited. They say, "Yes, please, Miss Lee. Tell us the stories and secrets.

He checked their tickets and smiled. + +"Hello, little ones. Are you going to see your grandma?" he asked. + +"Yes, we are," Lily and Ben said. + +"That's wonderful. I'm sure she will be very happy to see you. Do you know what I do before every trip?" he asked. + +"What do you do?" Lily and Ben asked. + +"I pray. I pray for a safe and smooth journey. I pray for all the people on the train and all the people we meet along the way. I pray for God to bless us and protect us. Do you want to pray with me?" he asked. + +Lily and Ben nodded. They liked the conductor. He was kind and friendly. + +They closed their eyes and held their hands. They prayed with the conductor. They prayed for their grandma and their mom and dad.

He needs to drink water and take this medicine. He will feel better soon." + +Tom did not like the medicine. It was bitter and made him frown. But his mom said, "You have to take it, Tom. It will help you get well. The doctor knows what is good for you." She gave Tom a hug and a kiss. + +Tom took the medicine. He drank some water. He said, "Thank you, doctor. Thank you, mom. I hope I get well soon. I want to play and eat again." + +The doctor smiled. He said, "You're welcome, Tom. You are a brave boy. You will get well soon. But you have to rest and stay warm. You are still weak from the cold. Do you have a favorite toy or book to keep you company?" + +Tom nodded. He pointed to his teddy bear and his picture book. His mom brought them to him. He hugged his teddy bear and looked at his picture book. He felt a little better. He said, "Thank you, doctor. Thank you, mom. I love you." + +The doctor and his mom said, "We love you too, Tom. Get well soon." They left him to rest. Tom closed his eyes and fell asleep. He dreamed of playing and eating again. +Lila and Ben like to play with their bikes. They have big wheels and fast pedals.

Lila and Ben want to try it. + +They go to the bike and look at it. It has a sign that says "Do not touch". But Lila and Ben do not care. They think the sign is ugly and mean. They take the bike and ride away. They laugh and feel happy. + +But the bike is not a good bike. It is a bad bike. It has a trap inside. The trap makes the wheels go flat and the horn go loud.

They honk and shout at Lila and Ben. Lila and Ben cry and scream. + +The bike crashes into a big truck. The bike breaks into pieces. Lila and Ben get hurt. They have blood and pain.

She liked to play with her dolls and dress them up in fancy clothes. She did not like to share her toys with anyone, not even her brother Max. + +One day, Max found a funny toy in the attic.

He ran downstairs to show Lily and their mom. + +"Look, Lily, I have a mustache!" he said, laughing. + +Lily did not think it was funny. She thought it was ugly and rude. She wanted the mustache for herself. + +"Give me that mustache!" she demanded. "It is mine!" + +"No, it is not!" Max said. "I found it first. It is mine!" + +They started to fight over the mustache. They pulled and tugged and yelled. Their mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. + +"What is going on here?" she asked.

She was not happy with their behavior. + +"Stop it, both of you!" she said. "The mustache is not yours. It belongs to your grandpa. He used to wear it when he was young.

He zoomed it and crashed it and made noises with it. He told the class how his car was fast and cool and fun. The class clapped for Ben. + +But then, Sam said something mean.

Lily whispered a secret that made Sam very angry. She whispered that she liked another boy in their class. She whispered that she wanted to play with him instead of Sam. She whispered that she was sorry, but she didn't want to be Sam's friend anymore. + +Sam felt very hurt and sad. He felt like his heart was broken. He felt like he had lost his best friend. He felt like he had nothing left. He felt very miserable. + +He didn't want to play "whisper" anymore. He didn't want to play anything anymore. He grabbed the dollhouse and threw it on the floor. He smashed it with his feet. He ripped the dolls apart. He screamed and cried. He wanted to make Lily feel as miserable as he did. + +Lily was shocked and scared. She saw the dollhouse and the dolls in pieces. She saw Sam's angry face and heard his loud voice. She felt very sorry and sad. She felt like she had made a big mistake. She felt like she had hurt her best friend. She felt very miserable. + +She tried to say something to Sam. She tried to apologize. She tried to hug him. But Sam pushed her away. He ran out of the room. He ran out of the house. He ran away from Lily. He never came back. +Lily liked to test new things. She liked to test new foods, new games, and new clothes. One day, her mom gave her a new sweater. It was pink and soft and had a big heart on the front. + +Lily wanted to test the sweater. She put it on and looked in the mirror.

She said, "I don't like it!" She took off the sweater and threw it on the ground. + +Her mom saw her and said, "Lily, what are you doing? That's your new sweater. You can't just leave it there. It will get dirty and torn." + +Lily said, "Sorry, mom. But it's too hot for a sweater. I want to wear something else." + +Her mom said, "Okay, Lily. Let's go inside and find something else. But next time, you should test the weather before you test a sweater." +Tom and Mia are twins. They like to play doctor and patient. Tom has a toy stethoscope and Mia has a toy syringe. They take turns to check each other's health. + +One day, Tom says to Mia, "You are very sick. You need an operation." + +Mia says, "No, I don't. I feel fine." + +Tom insists, "Yes, you do. You have a bad bug in your tummy. I can hear it with my stethoscope. Come on, lie down on the sofa. I will make you better." + +Mia is scared. She does not want an operation. She says, "No, thank you. I don't like needles. They hurt." + +Tom says, "Don't worry. It won't hurt. It will be interesting. You will see what is inside your tummy. Maybe it is a butterfly or a rainbow or a star." + +Mia thinks for a moment. She likes butterflies and rainbows and stars. She says, "OK, fine. But you have to be gentle and careful. And you have to give me a sticker after the operation." + +Tom says, "OK, deal. Now, close your eyes and count to ten. I will start the operation." + +Mia closes her eyes and counts to ten.

Look, I found a flower and a candy and a ball." + +Mia opens her eyes and sees the things that Tom has taken out of his pocket. She says, "Wow, that is amazing. How did they get in there?" + +Tom says, "I don't know. Maybe you ate them or swallowed them by mistake. But don't worry, they are out now. You are all better. The operation is over." + +Mia says, "Thank you, doctor. You are very good. Can I have my sticker now?" + +Tom says, "Yes, of course. Here you go. You can choose any sticker you like. You are a brave patient." + +Mia smiles and picks a sticker with a heart on it. She puts it on her tummy. She says, "I love you, doctor. You are my best twin." + +Tom hugs her and says, "I love you too, patient. You are my best twin." +Tom and Anna are twins. They like to play with their toys in the living room. One day, they find a big mug on the table. It is blue and has a picture of a dog on it. + +"Look, Anna, a mug!" Tom says. He picks up the mug and pretends to drink from it. "Mmm, yummy!" + +"Let me see, Tom!" Anna says. She wants to hold the mug too. She tries to grab it from Tom, but he does not let go. + +"No, Anna, it is mine!" Tom says. He pulls the mug away from Anna. "You have your own toys!" + +Anna is angry. She pushes Tom and makes him fall. The mug falls too and breaks on the floor. It makes a loud noise. + +"Oh no!" Tom and Anna say. They see the broken pieces of the mug. They are scared. They hear their mom coming. + +"What was that?" Mom says. She sees Tom and Anna and the broken mug. She is not happy. She frowns and crosses her arms. + +"Tom and Anna, what did you do?" Mom says. "That was my mug! It was a gift from Grandma! How could you break it?" + +Tom and Anna feel sorry. They tremble and look down. They do not know what to say. + +"Mom, we are sorry," Tom says. "We were playing and we had an accident." + +"Mom, we did not mean to break it," Anna says. "We like the mug. It has a dog on it." + +Mom sighs. She is still not happy, but she is not angry anymore. She knows that Tom and Anna are young and make mistakes.

It is cold and wet. The sky is gray and the wind is loud. + +"Let's go inside," Lily says. "We can play with our toys." + +"No, I want to play outside," Tom says. "I want to kick the ball." + +Tom runs to the ball. He kicks it hard. The ball flies in the air. But the wind blows it away. The ball lands in a big puddle. + +"Oh no, my ball!" Tom cries. He runs to the puddle. He tries to get the ball. But the puddle is deep and muddy. Tom gets wet and dirty. + +"Tom, come back!" Lily calls. "You will get sick. The puddle is not for playing." + +But Tom does not listen. He kicks the puddle. He makes a big splash. He laughs. + +Lily shakes her head. She thinks Tom is not wise. She goes inside. She finds a warm blanket and a book. She reads the book. She learns new words. She is happy. + +Tom stays outside. He kicks the puddle. He gets more wet and dirty. He starts to shiver. He feels cold and sad. He wishes he had listened to Lily. He thinks Lily is wise. He wants to go inside. + +But the door is locked. Lily has locked it. She does not want Tom to make a mess. She does not want to play with him. + +Tom knocks on the door. He says he is sorry. He asks Lily to let him in. + +But Lily does not answer. She does not hear him. She is busy reading her book. She is having fun. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park with their toys. They had a ball, a truck, a doll and a teddy bear. They were very happy and enthusiastic. They ran, jumped, threw and rolled on the grass. + +"Look, Lily, I can make the truck go fast!" Ben said, pushing the truck with his hands. + +"Wow, Ben, that's amazing!" Lily said, clapping her hands. "Can I try?" + +"Sure, Lily, here you go!" Ben said, giving the truck to Lily. "You can make it go fast too!" + +Lily took the truck and pushed it with her hands. She made it go fast, but she did not see the bin in front of her. The truck crashed into the bin and fell down. The bin tipped over and spilled some rubbish on the ground. + +"Oh no, Lily, what did you do?" Ben said, running to the truck. "You broke the truck and made a mess!" + +"I'm sorry, Ben, I didn't mean to!" Lily said, picking up the truck. "The truck is not broken, see? It still works!" + +She pushed the truck again, but it made a funny noise and stopped. Ben looked at the truck and saw that one of the wheels was bent. + +"Lily, you did break the truck!" Ben said, frowning. "Now it can't go fast anymore!" + +Lily felt sad and guilty. She did not want to make Ben angry or hurt his toy. She wanted to make him happy and play with him. + +"I'm sorry, Ben, I'm sorry!" she said, hugging the truck. "Can you forgive me? Can we still be friends?" + +Ben looked at Lily and saw that she was crying. He felt sorry for her too. He did not want to make her cry or lose his friend. He wanted to make her happy and play with her. + +"It's okay, Lily, it's okay!" he said, hugging her back. "I forgive you! We are still friends!" + +He took the truck from her and smiled. + +"Maybe we can fix the truck later, or get a new one. But we still have other toys to play with, right?" + +He pointed to the ball, the doll and the teddy bear that were lying on the grass. + +"Right!" Lily said, wiping her tears and smiling too. + +They put the truck aside and picked up the other toys. They decided to settle for the ball, the doll and the teddy bear for now. They went back to playing on the grass, happy and enthusiastic again. They also picked up the rubbish from the ground and put it back in the bin, because they wanted to keep the park clean and nice. +Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and laugh. They saw a big wall with a hole in it. They wanted to see what was behind the wall. + +They went to the hole and looked through. They saw a dark and dirty place. There were old things and broken things. There was a loud noise and a bad smell. They were frightened. + +They saw a light in the dark. It was a small and shiny thing. It moved and made a sound. It was a cat. The cat was scared too. It had no home and no friends. + +Lily and Tom felt sorry for the cat. They wanted to help it. They called the cat and gave it some food. The cat came closer and ate the food. It was hungry and tired. It let Lily and Tom touch it. It was soft and warm. + +Lily and Tom decided to take the cat home. They asked their mom and dad if they could keep it. They said yes. They gave the cat a name and a bed and a toy. The cat was happy and so were Lily and Tom.

She loved cake and wanted to surprise dad with a big, yummy one. Mom gave her a spoon and a bowl and told her to stir the flour and sugar. + +Lily stirred and stirred, but she was curious about how the flour and sugar tasted. She looked around and saw that mom was busy with the eggs and butter. She decided to sneak a little bite of the flour and sugar. She put some in her mouth and chewed. + +But it was not yummy at all! It was dry and bitter and made her cough. She spat it out and grabbed her water bottle. She drank and drank, but her mouth still felt bad. She felt something funny in her stomach. It was hurting and making noises. She felt miserable. + +Mom heard her coughing and saw her face. She asked, "Lily, what's wrong? Did you eat some of the flour and sugar?" + +Lily nodded and started to cry. She was sorry for being naughty and not listening to mom. Mom hugged her and said, "It's okay, Lily. I know you wanted to help, but you have to be careful with what you eat. Flour and sugar are not good for you by themselves. They need other things to make them into cake. And you need to eat healthy food to make your stomach happy." + +Lily said, "I'm sorry, mom. I won't do it again. Can we still make the cake for dad?" + +Mom smiled and said, "Of course we can. But first, let's get you some bread and milk to make you feel better. And then we can finish the cake together. I'm sure dad will love it and love you more." + +Lily smiled and said, "Thank you, mom. I love you too." + +The moral value of the story is: Listen to your parents and don't eat things that are not good for you. +Ben and Lily are twins. They like to play with their toys and read books.

Ben and Lily do not understand what that means. + +They try to help mom and dad with the baby. They bring diapers and bottles and blankets. They sing songs and tell stories. They pray for the baby to get better. + +But one night, mom and dad come to their room with sad faces. They say the baby has gone to heaven. He could not stay with them. He gave up his life. Ben and Lily are very sad and confused. They cry and hug mom and dad. + +Mom and dad say they love them very much. They say the baby loved them too. They say they will always remember him and be thankful for him. They say they will receive a new life in their hearts.

Tom and Mia say thank you and eat their lunch. They can't wait to read more about rockets. +Sam and Lily liked to go to the library with their mom. They could find many books with pictures and stories. They could also play with toys and puzzles. The library was a fun place. + +One day, it was very cold outside. The wind was blowing and the snow was falling. Sam and Lily put on their hats and coats and gloves. They walked with their mom to the library. They felt the snow on their faces. It was bitter and wet. + +When they got to the library, they saw a big pile of books on a table. The books had covers with different colors and shapes. Sam and Lily wanted to see what was inside.

Lily and Ben follow it. They laugh. + +The butterfly leads them to a slide. The slide is red and shiny. Lily and Ben want to go on the slide. They take turns. Lily goes first. She sits on the slide and slides down. Whee! She feels happy. Ben goes next. He slides down too. Whee! He feels happy too. + +They go on the slide again and again. They have more fun. But after a while, they feel tired. They sit on the grass and drink some water. Their moms come to see them. + +"Did you have fun, Lily and Ben?" Lily's mom asks. + +"Yes, mom, we had fun!" Lily says. + +"We saw a butterfly and went on the slide!" Ben says. + +"That's great, my loves!" Ben's mom says. "But now it's time to go home. You need to rest." + +Lily and Ben nod. They are tired, but they are also happy. They hug their moms and their friend. They say goodbye to the park and the butterfly. They go home. They dream of playing again. +Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play with blocks and cars. One day, they see a big map on the wall. The map has many colors and shapes. + +"What is this?" Tom asks. + +"This is a map of the world. It shows all the nations," Sue says. She is smart and knows many things. + +"What is a nation?" Tom asks. + +"A nation is a big place where many people live. They have their own flag and name. Like this one is China, and this one is Canada," Sue says. She points to the map. + +"Wow, that is cool. Do you want to go to a nation?" Tom asks. + +"Maybe. But I also like our home.

They fly and sail back to their home. + +They are happy to see their mom and dad. They hug and kiss them. They tell them about their adventure. + +"We went to many nations. They were very nice. But we also like our home. Our home is the best nation," Tom says. + +"Yes, we do. We love our home. Our home is the best nation," Sue says. + +Their mom and dad smile. They are proud of their smart and curious children. They are glad that they returned. They are happy to be a family. They are happy to be in their nation. +Lily was a wealthy girl who had many toys. She liked to play with her dolls, her cars, and her blocks. But she hated triangles. She thought they were ugly and pointy and mean. + +One day, she was building a castle with her blocks. She had many squares and rectangles, but only a few triangles. She did not want to use them, but she needed them to make the roof. She tried to hide them under other blocks, but they always showed up. + +She got very angry and threw the triangles away. She said, "I hate you, triangles! You ruin my castle! Go away and never come back!" + +But the triangles did not go away. They bounced back and hit her in the face. They made her cry and hurt her nose. They said, "We hate you, Lily! You are mean and spoiled and rude! You do not know how to share and play nice!" + +Lily was scared and sorry. She realized that she had been wrong to hate the triangles. They were just blocks, like the others. They had feelings, too. She said, "I am sorry, triangles. I was mean and spoiled and rude. I do not hate you. You are not ugly and pointy and mean. You are beautiful and strong and smart. You make my castle better. Can we be friends?" + +The triangles were surprised and happy. They said, "We are sorry, too, Lily. We were angry and hurt and rude. We do not hate you. You are not mean and spoiled and rude. You are kind and generous and fun. You make us feel welcome. We can be friends." + +Lily and the triangles hugged and smiled. They finished the castle together. They used all the blocks, and made it colorful and big and strong. They played with it for a long time, and had a lot of fun. They learned to love each other, and to share and play nice. +Lily and Max are playing in the park. They like to slide, swing and run. But today, they see a big problem. The slide is broken. There is a big hole in the middle of it. They cannot slide anymore. + +"Oh no, what can we do?" Lily asks. She is sad. She loves to slide. + +"Maybe we can solve it," Max says. He is tough. He likes to fix things. He looks around and sees some pants on a bench. They belong to a man who is reading a book. Max has an idea. + +"Come on, Lily, follow me," he says. He runs to the bench and grabs the pants. He runs back to the slide and ties the pants around the hole. He makes a bridge with the pants. + +"Look, Lily, we solved it!" he says. He is proud. He climbs up the ladder and slides down the pants. He smiles. + +"Wow, Max, you are so smart!" Lily says. She is happy. She climbs up the ladder and slides down the pants too. They laugh. + +The man who owns the pants looks up from his book. He sees his pants on the slide. He is angry. He stands up and shouts. + +"Hey, you kids, give me back my pants!" he says. He runs to the slide and tries to get his pants. But Lily and Max are too fast. They slide down the pants and run away. They giggle. + +They solved the problem, but they made a new one. +Lily was shy. She did not like to talk to new people. She liked to play with her toys and her cat, Mimi. Mimi was soft and warm. Lily liked to rub Mimi's fur and hear her purr. + +One day, Lily's mom said, "We are going to visit Aunt Sara and Uncle Ben. They have a big house and a big dog. His name is Spot. He is very friendly. Do you want to go?" + +Lily felt scared. She did not know Aunt Sara and Uncle Ben. She did not like big dogs. She shook her head and said, "No, thank you. I want to stay with Mimi." + +Lily's mom smiled and said, "It's okay to be shy, Lily. But sometimes it's good to try new things. Aunt Sara and Uncle Ben are very nice. They have a surprise for you. They made pizza for lunch. You love pizza, don't you?" + +Lily nodded. She did love pizza. It was her favorite food. She liked the cheese and the sauce and the crust. She said, "Maybe I can go. But can I bring Mimi?" + +Lily's mom said, "Of course you can bring Mimi. She can play with Spot. He likes cats. Come on, let's go. The pizza is waiting for us." + +Lily took Mimi in her arms and followed her mom to the car. She felt a little less shy. She thought, maybe Aunt Sara and Uncle Ben and Spot were not so bad. Maybe they would be fun. Maybe she would like the pizza. She hoped so. +Lily was a little girl who liked to explore. One day, she saw an old man walking with a cane. He had a long beard and a hat. Lily was curious. She ran to him and said, "Hello, what is that?" + +The old man smiled and said, "This is my cane. It helps me walk. Do you want to try it?" + +Lily nodded. She took the cane and held it. It was heavy and hard. She tried to walk with it, but it was too big for her. She stumbled and fell. The old man helped her up and said, "Don't worry, you are brave. But you have to be careful with the cane. It is not a toy." + +Lily felt sorry. She gave the cane back to the old man and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt it. It is unusual. I never saw a cane before." + +The old man said, "It's okay, I'm not angry. You are a good girl. You can touch it again, but gently. And you can ask me anything you want to know. I like to talk to you. You are unusual too. You are not afraid of me." + +Lily smiled. She liked the old man. He was kind and funny. She said, "Thank you, you are nice. Can I be your friend?" + +The old man said, "Of course, you can. I would love that. You can call me Grandpa. And I will call you Lily. Can I trust you?" + +Lily said, "Yes, you can. I will trust you too. We are friends." + +They hugged and walked together. Lily learned many things from Grandpa. He told her stories and jokes. He taught her how to use the cane. He gave her a candy. Lily was happy. She found a new friend. She liked his cane. It was unusual, but it was special. +Lila and Max were playing in the snow. They wanted to make an igloo, like the ones they saw in a book. They rolled big balls of snow and stacked them in a circle. Then they dug a hole for the door. + +"Look, we made an igloo!" Lila said. "It is so cool and white!" + +Max nodded. He liked the igloo too. But he felt cold and hungry. He wanted to go inside and have some soup. He looked at the house. He saw Mom waving at them from the window. + +"Mom says it is time to come in," Max said. "She has soup for us." + +Lila frowned. She did not want to leave the igloo. She wanted to play more. She had an idea. + +"Let's mention the igloo to Mom," she said. "Maybe she will let us stay a little longer." + +Max agreed. He liked Lila's idea. They ran to the house and opened the door. + +"Mom, Mom, we made an igloo!" they said. "Can we play more, please?" + +Mom smiled. She was proud of their igloo. She saw how pale their faces were. She knew they were cold and hungry. + +"That is a wonderful igloo, my dears," she said. "But you need to warm up and eat something. How about you have some soup now, and then you can play more later?" + +Lila and Max thought about it. They liked soup. They liked playing. They nodded. + +"OK, Mom," they said. "We will have some soup now. And then we will play more later." + +Mom hugged them. She gave them some soup and some bread. They ate and drank. They felt warm and happy. They thanked Mom. They put on their coats and hats. They ran back to the igloo. They played more. They had fun. They loved their igloo. +Lily liked to pray every night before she went to sleep. She prayed for her family, her friends, and her toys. She also prayed for a new bike, because her old one was broken and had no wheels. + +One day, her mom said they were going to the store. Lily was happy, because she hoped they would buy a new bike for her. She prayed very hard in the car, and asked God to help her. + +When they got to the store, Lily saw a lot of bikes. They were shiny and colorful and had bells and baskets. She ran to the one she liked the most. It was pink and had a big bow on it. She asked her mom if she could have it. + +Her mom looked at the price tag and shook her head. "I'm sorry, Lily, but we can't afford this bike. It's too expensive. Maybe we can find a cheaper one." + +Lily felt sad and angry. She wanted the pink bike so much. She prayed again, and asked God to make her mom change her mind. + +But her mom did not change her mind. She took Lily to another aisle, where they saw some butter. Her mom said they needed butter for the cake they were going to bake for Lily's dad. He was coming home from a long trip, and they wanted to surprise him. + +Lily did not care about the butter or the cake. She only cared about the bike. She started to cry and scream. She threw the butter on the floor and kicked it. She said she hated her mom and God. + +Her mom was very upset. She picked up the butter and put it back on the shelf. She grabbed Lily's hand and dragged her out of the store. She said they were going home, and that Lily was in big trouble. + +Lily cried all the way home. She felt sorry for what she did, but she also felt angry and sad. She wished she had the bike. She thought God did not listen to her prayers. + +When they got home, Lily saw something in the driveway. It was a bike. It was not pink, but it was new and had wheels and a bell. It had a big sign on it that said "Happy Birthday, Lily!" + +Lily was shocked. She forgot that today was her birthday. She looked at her mom, who smiled and hugged her. She said that her dad bought the bike for her, and that he was waiting inside with the cake. + +Lily felt happy and ashamed. She realized that God did listen to her prayers, but in a different way. She thanked her mom and ran to the bike. She hugged it and said she loved it. She said she was sorry for being bad at the store. + +Her mom said it was okay, and that she loved her too. She said that Lily was a lucky girl, and that she should always be grateful for what she had. + +Lily agreed. She said she was sorry to God too, and that she would pray again tonight. She said she was happy and lucky, and that she loved her family and her bike. She got on the bike and rode it around the driveway, ringing the bell and smiling. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a nice hat on a bench. It is red and blue and has a big star on it. + +"Wow, look at that hat!" Anna says. "It is so nice. I want to try it on." + +"Me too!" Ben says. "Let's share it. You can wear it first, then I can wear it." + +Anna nods. She puts the hat on her head. It is a bit big, but she likes it. She feels happy. She runs around the park with the hat. + +Ben waits for his turn. He watches Anna have fun. He smiles. He is happy for his friend. + +After a while, Anna comes back to Ben. She takes off the hat and gives it to him. + +"Here you go, Ben. Thank you for sharing the hat with me. It was fun," she says. + +"Thank you, Anna. You are a good friend. I like the hat too. It is fun," he says. + +He puts the hat on his head. It is a bit small, but he likes it. He feels happy. He runs around the park with the hat. + +Anna and Ben play with the hat until it is time to go home. They put the hat back on the bench. They hope someone else will find it and enjoy it. + +They hold hands and walk to their moms. They tell them about the nice hat they found and shared. Their moms hug them and tell them they are proud of them. + +Anna and Ben are happy. They have a nice hat and a nice friend. They say goodbye and wave to each other. They hope to play again soon. +Lily and Sam were friends who liked to play at the park. They ran, jumped and swung on the swings. But Lily's favorite thing was the slide. She loved to slide down fast and feel the wind in her hair. + +One day, Lily saw a new slide at the park. It was bigger and longer than the old one. She wanted to try it right away. She ran to the new slide and climbed up the ladder. She looked down and saw how high it was. She felt scared, but also excited. + +"Sam, come and slide with me!" she called to her friend. + +But Sam did not want to slide. He liked the old slide better. He thought the new slide was too scary and dangerous. He ignored Lily and stayed on the old slide. + +"Sam, please, it will be fun!" Lily said again. + +But Sam still ignored her. He did not look at her or answer her. He slid down the old slide over and over. + +Lily felt sad and angry. She wanted to share the new slide with her friend. She did not like to slide alone. She slid down the new slide once, but it was not as fun as she hoped. She looked around and saw that the park was empty. There were no other kids to play with. She wished Sam would change his mind and join her. + +She climbed up the ladder again and shouted, "Sam, this is the last time I ask you. Come and slide with me, or I will not be your friend anymore!" + +But Sam still ignored her. He did not care what she said. He was happy on the old slide. + +Lily felt hurt and lonely. She decided to leave the park and go home. She slid down the new slide one last time and ran away. She did not say goodbye to Sam. + +Sam did not notice that Lily was gone. He kept sliding on the old slide until it was dark. Then he realized that he was alone. He looked for Lily, but she was not there. He felt sorry and sad. He wished he had listened to Lily and tried the new slide with her. He missed his friend. He hoped she would come back tomorrow. He ran home and hoped she would forgive him. +Sara and Ben are going to the airport with Mom and Dad. They are going to fly in a big plane to see Grandma and Grandpa. Sara is happy and excited. She likes planes and Grandma and Grandpa. Ben is scared and sad. He does not like planes and he will miss his toys and his friends. + +"Ben, why do you feel scared and sad?" Sara asks her brother. + +"Planes are loud and fast and high. I don't like loud and fast and high. And I don't want to leave my toys and my friends. I want to stay home," Ben says. + +"But planes are fun and safe and cool. You can see the clouds and the birds and the land. And you can play with Grandma and Grandpa and their dog. They have a lot of toys and books and games. You will have fun," Sara says. + +"I don't know. Maybe. But I still feel scared and sad," Ben says. + +They get to the airport. The airport is big and busy and noisy. There are many people and bags and cars and signs. Sara and Ben hold Mom and Dad's hands. They go inside the airport. The airport is gray and cold and bright.

Sara and Ben hear the planes roar and zoom. + +"Look, Ben, there is our plane. It is blue and white and has a star on the wing. It is a beautiful plane. Do you want to go on the plane?" Sara asks. + +Ben looks at the plane. He feels a little curious and a little brave. He nods his head. + +"OK, Sara, I will go on the plane with you. But you have to sit next to me and hold my hand. And you have to tell me stories and jokes and sing songs. And you have to share your snacks and toys and books. And you have to be nice and kind and gentle. Can you do that?" Ben asks. + +Sara smiles and hugs her brother. + +"Of course, Ben, I can do that. I am your sister and I love you. And I want you to be happy and have fun. Come on, let's go on the plane and see Grandma and Grandpa. They are waiting for us and they love us too," Sara says. + +They follow Mom and Dad to the gate.

He only wanted to eat cake and candy. His mom and dad told him that vegetables were good for him. They said vegetables would make him strong and healthy. But Tommy did not listen. He said vegetables were yucky and he did not want them. + +One day, Tommy went to visit his grandpa. His grandpa was deaf. He could not hear anything. Tommy asked him why he was deaf.

She calls it her file. She keeps her file under her bed. + +One day, Lily wants to mix something new. She goes to the kitchen and finds a big bowl. She puts some flour, sugar, eggs, and milk in the bowl. She mixes them with a spoon. She thinks it looks yummy. + +She wants to add some more things to make it more fun. She goes to her file and takes out some glitter, paint, and feathers. She puts them in the bowl too. She mixes them very hard. She thinks it looks pretty. + +She is very happy with her mix. She wants to show it to her mom. She carries the bowl to the living room. But the bowl is too heavy for her. She trips on the rug and falls down. The bowl flies out of her hands and lands on the couch. The mix spills everywhere. + +Lily is very upset. She starts to cry. Her mom hears her and comes to see what happened. She sees the mess on the couch and the floor. She is very angry. She scolds Lily for making a mess. She tells her to clean it up. She takes away her file and says she can't mix things anymore. + +Lily is very sad. She says she is sorry. She helps her mom clean up the mix. She hopes her mom will forgive her and give her back her file. She loves to mix things. She thinks mixing is fun. +Lila and Ben were playing in the farm. They saw a big animal with long ears and a tail. It was brown and white and made a loud sound. + +"What is that?" Lila asked. + +"Guess!" Ben said. + +Lila thought hard. She knew some animals, like cows and pigs and sheep. But this animal was different. + +"Is it a horse?" Lila guessed. + +"No, it is not a horse. It is a mule!" Ben said. + +"A mule? What is a mule?" Lila asked. + +"A mule is a mix of a horse and a donkey. It can carry heavy things and work hard. It is also clever and stubborn," Ben explained. + +"Clever and stubborn? How do you know?"

Do you want some?" Lila said. + +The mule looked at them and sniffed. It saw the carrots and smiled. It came closer and took the carrots from their hands. It chewed them and made a happy sound. + +"See, it likes us!" Lila said. + +"Yes, it does. Maybe it is not so bad after all. Maybe we can play with it sometimes," Ben said. + +They petted the mule and talked to it. The mule liked them too. It was a good day. +Sara loved to play in the garden. She liked to look at the flowers and the bugs. One day, she saw a caterpillar on a leaf. It was green and fuzzy. Sara was excited. She wanted to make friends with the caterpillar. + +"Hello, caterpillar," she said. "Do you want to play with me? I have a doll and a ball and a book." + +The caterpillar did not say anything. It just crawled on the leaf. Sara thought it was shy. She picked up the leaf and put it in a jar. She made some holes on the lid so the caterpillar could breathe. She brought the jar to her room. + +"I will take good care of you, caterpillar," she said. "You will be happy with me." + +The next day, Sara woke up and ran to the jar. She wanted to see the caterpillar. But the caterpillar was not there. Instead, there was a hard brown thing hanging from the lid. Sara was confused. Where did the caterpillar go?

And when it wakes up, it will be a beautiful butterfly." + +Sara was amazed. She did not know that caterpillars could change. She wondered what the butterfly would look like.

Mia! What have you done?" Mom yells. + +"We found a pot with toys!" Ben says. + +"They were not toys! They were fireworks! They are dangerous!" Dad says. + +"Who left them in the pot?"

They do not want to pay for the coins. They do not want to go to jail. They do not want to make the man more angry. + +They run back to their home and tell their mom what happened. She hugs them and says, "I'm glad you are safe. You did the right thing. You should not take things that are not yours. That is stealing. And you should not play in the land that is not yours. That is trespassing. The man owns the land and the coins. He can do what he wants with them. Maybe he is saving them for something important. Maybe he is hiding them from someone bad. You should respect his property and his privacy." + +Tom and Sam nod and say, "We are sorry, mom. We did not know. We were curious and greedy. We will not do it again. We will play in our own land and with our own toys. We will be good." + +Mom smiles and says, "I love you, Tom and Sam. You are good boys. Now, let's have some cookies and milk and forget about the wild man and his coins." +One day, Lily and Max were playing outside with their ball. They liked to kick the ball and catch it and throw it. They had a lot of fun. + +But then, the sky became dark and the wind became loud. They heard a big boom and saw a bright flash. It was a storm. They were scared. + +"Let's go inside!"

It had many colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. + +"Look, Max!" Lily said. "It's a rainbow! It's so pretty!" + +They smiled and ran outside again. They wanted to see the rainbow closer. They followed the rainbow with their eyes and ran to the end of the street. + +"Maybe we can find a pot of gold!" Max said. + +"Or a fairy!" Lily said. + +They laughed and ran faster. They hoped the rainbow would not go away. They wanted to come to the rainbow and touch it. They thought the rainbow was magical. +One day, Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. Lily had a big box of crayons and Ben had a lot of cars and trucks. They liked to draw and drive on the floor. + +"Look, Lily, I made a circle with my blue crayon," Ben said, showing his drawing to his sister. + +"That's not a circle, Ben, that's a terrible circle," Lily said, laughing. "A circle is round and smooth, like this." She drew a circle with her red crayon next to Ben's. + +"No, Lily, your circle is terrible, too. It's too small and lumpy," Ben said, frowning. "My circle is better." + +They started to argue about whose circle was better. They raised their voices and made a lot of noise. + +"Shh, children, what are you doing?" their mom asked, coming into the living room. She saw their drawings on the floor and smiled. "You both made very nice circles, but they are different. Ben's circle is big and blue, and Lily's circle is small and red. They are both good." + +"But mom, who has the best circle?" Lily and Ben asked at the same time. + +"Well, why don't you bring your circles to me and I'll tell you," their mom said, sitting on the couch. "But first, you have to say sorry to each other for being rude." + +Lily and Ben looked at each other and felt sorry. They said sorry and hugged. Then they picked up their circles and brought them to their mom. + +"See, these are both wonderful circles," their mom said, holding them up. "But you know what would make them even better? If you put them together and make a new shape. Do you know what shape that is?" + +Lily and Ben thought for a moment. Then they said together, "A heart!" + +"Yes, a heart! A heart is a shape that shows love. And you two love each other, right?" their mom said, smiling. + +"Yes, we do, mom!" Lily and Ben said, smiling too. They took their circles and put them together to make a heart. Then they gave it to their mom as a gift. + +"I love it, thank you, children!" their mom said, hugging them. "And I love you both very much. You are my best circles." +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play in the park with their family. One day, they see a big slide.

They feel scared. + +"Are you ready, Ben?" Anna says. + +"I don't know, Anna. It is too fast," Ben says. + +"Come on, Ben. We can do it. We are a successful family. We are not afraid," Anna says. + +She holds Ben's hand. They sit on the slide. They spring down. They scream and laugh. They feel happy. + +They reach the bottom. They jump off the slide. They hug each other. + +"We did it, Anna! We did it!" Ben says. + +"Yes, we did, Ben! We are awesome!" Anna says. + +Mom and Dad clap and cheer. They are proud of their twins. They join them in a big hug. + +"You are very brave, Anna and Ben. We love you," Mom and Dad say. + +Anna and Ben smile. They love their family. They want to go on the slide again. +Lila and Tom were playing with their dolls in the living room. They had a lot of fun making them talk and dress up. Lila had a doll with long, yellow hair that she liked to comb and braid. Tom had a doll with short, brown hair that he liked to cut and glue. + +"Look, Lila, I made my doll a mohawk!" Tom said, showing his doll with spiky hair and a big smile. + +"That's silly, Tom. Your doll looks funny. My doll has pretty hair. See?" Lila said, holding her doll with a pink bow and a long braid. + +"I don't like your doll's hair. It's too long and boring. I want to cut it!" Tom said, grabbing Lila's doll and a pair of scissors. + +"Tom, no! Give me back my doll! You can't cut her hair!" Lila said, trying to get her doll back. + +But Tom was too fast and too harsh. He snipped off Lila's doll's braid and threw it on the floor. Lila started to cry. She loved her doll's hair. It was her favorite thing. + +"Ha ha, now your doll has short hair like mine. She looks better!" Tom said, laughing. + +"Tom, you're mean! You ruined my doll! I hate you!" Lila said, sobbing. + +Lila ran to her mom, who was in the kitchen. She told her what Tom did and showed her the doll and the braid. Mom was angry. She scolded Tom and told him to say sorry to Lila and to nap in his room. Tom didn't want to nap. He wanted to play. But mom was firm. She took him to his room and closed the door. + +Lila hugged her mom and her doll. She was sad. She wished her doll had her hair back. She wished Tom was nice. She wished they could play again. But she didn't think that would happen. She felt alone. +Mark was a boy who liked to play with his toys. He had a lot of cars, trucks, and trains that he zoomed around the floor. He also had a fake shrimp that he found in the kitchen. He thought it was funny to pretend that the shrimp was alive and could talk. + +One day, he was playing with his shrimp and his cars when his sister Lily came into the room. Lily was older than Mark and she liked to read books and draw pictures. She saw Mark's shrimp and said, "That's not a toy, that's food. You can't play with food, Mark. Give it to me." + +Mark did not want to give his shrimp to Lily. He said, "No, it's mine. It's a toy, not food. It can talk, see? Hello, shrimp, how are you?" He made a silly voice for the shrimp and moved it with his hand. + +Lily rolled her eyes and said, "That's a fake shrimp, Mark. It can't talk. It's made of plastic. You're being silly. Give it to me or I'll tell mom." + +Mark got angry and said, "No, you're being mean. It's my shrimp and I can play with it. Go away, Lily. Leave me alone." He held the shrimp tightly and turned away from Lily. + +Lily got angry too and said, "Fine, I'll make you give it to me." She grabbed Mark's arm and tried to pull the shrimp from his hand. Mark resisted and shouted, "Stop it, Lily. You're hurting me. Let go of my shrimp." + +They both pulled and tugged on the shrimp until it snapped in half. They both gasped and looked at the broken shrimp. Mark started to cry and said, "You broke my shrimp. You're a bad sister. I hate you." Lily felt sorry and said, "I'm sorry, Mark. I didn't mean to break your shrimp. I just wanted to show you that it was fake. I don't hate you. I love you." + +They both hugged and said they were sorry. They decided to share the shrimp and play together. They made up a story about how the shrimp was a superhero who could fly and save the world. They had fun and forgot about their fight. Mom came in and saw them playing and smiled. She was happy that they were getting along. She gave them a snack and a kiss and said, "I love you, Mark and Lily. You're good kids." +Tommy loves spaghetti. He likes to twirl it on his fork and slurp it in his mouth. He likes to make funny noises with the sauce. He likes to see how long he can stretch the noodles. + +But today, Tommy has to wait for his spaghetti. Mommy is busy on the phone. She tells Tommy to be patient. She says she will make spaghetti soon. Tommy is hungry and bored. He looks around the kitchen for something to do. + +He sees a big jar of salt on the counter. He wonders what it tastes like. He climbs on a chair and reaches for the jar. He opens the lid and pours some salt on his hand. He licks it. It is very salty. He makes a face. He does not like it. + +He decides to have some fun with the salt. He shakes the jar over his head. He pretends it is snow. He laughs as the salt falls on his hair and clothes. He shakes the jar harder and harder. He makes a big mess. + +Mommy hears the noise and comes to the kitchen. She sees Tommy and the salt. She is not happy. She says, "Tommy, what are you doing? You are wasting the salt and making a mess. You are not being patient. You are being naughty." + +Tommy stops shaking the jar. He looks at Mommy. He sees she is angry. He feels sorry. He says, "I'm sorry, Mommy. I was just playing. I want spaghetti." + +Mommy sighs. She says, "I know, Tommy. But you have to wait a little longer. And you have to clean up the salt. Come on, let's get a broom and a dustpan. Then we can make spaghetti together. OK?" + +Tommy nods. He says, "OK, Mommy. I will help you. I will be patient. I love you." + +Mommy smiles. She says, "I love you too, Tommy. Now let's clean up and then we can have some yummy spaghetti." +Tim and Kim are twins. They like to play with their toys. They have a big box of toys in their room. They have cars, dolls, balls, books, and more. + +One day, they find a new toy in the box. It is a white whip. It is long and thin and has a handle. They do not know what it is for. They think it is a snake or a rope. + +They take the whip and run to the garden. They see their dog, Rex, sleeping on the grass. They want to play with him. They think he needs the whip. + +They go near Rex and wave the whip in the air. They make a loud noise. Rex wakes up and sees the whip. He is scared. He thinks it is a snake or a rope too. He barks and runs away. + +Tim and Kim chase him with the whip. They think it is fun. They do not know they are hurting him. Rex runs to the house and hides under the sofa. He is sad and angry. + +Mom sees what is happening. She is not happy. She takes the whip from Tim and Kim. She tells them it is not a toy. She tells them it is a bad thing. She tells them they should not hurt Rex. She tells them they should say sorry to Rex. + +Tim and Kim feel bad. They do not want to hurt Rex. They love Rex. They go to the sofa and hug Rex. They say sorry to Rex. Rex licks their faces. He forgives them. + +Mom gives them a new toy. It is a white ball. It is soft and round and has a bell. They like it. They play with Rex and the ball. They are happy. Rex is happy too. +Tommy and Lily are twins. They are three years old. They like to play with their toys and their dog, Spot. Spot is a big, brown dog. He is very friendly and adorable. + +On Wednesday, Mommy takes Tommy and Lily to the doctor. The doctor is nice. He smiles and says hello. He asks them to stand on a big machine. The machine can tell how much they weigh. + +"Tommy, you weigh 15 kilos. You are growing well," the doctor says. + +"Wow, 15 kilos! That is a lot!" Tommy says. He feels proud. + +"Lily, you weigh 14 kilos. You are also growing well," the doctor says. + +"14 kilos? That is less than Tommy!" Lily says. She feels sad. + +"Don't worry, Lily. You are just a little bit smaller than Tommy. You are both healthy and strong," the doctor says. He gives them a sticker and a lollipop. + +"Thank you, doctor!" Tommy and Lily say. They hug the doctor and Mommy. + +"Can we weigh Spot too?" Tommy asks. + +"Sure, why not?" the doctor says. He helps them put Spot on the machine. + +"Spot, you weigh 25 kilos. You are a big dog!" the doctor says. + +"Wow, 25 kilos! That is more than Tommy and Lily together!" Lily says. She feels happy. + +"Spot, you are the best dog ever!" Tommy says. He pets Spot and kisses him. + +"Spot, you are adorable!" Lily says. She hugs Spot and kisses him. + +Mommy, Tommy, Lily, and Spot leave the doctor's office. They are all happy and healthy. They go home and play with their toys and their dog. They love each other very much. +Lily was sad. She wanted a lollipop, but Mom said no. Mom said lollipops were bad for her teeth. Lily did not like that. She wanted to taste the sweet and colorful candy. + +She saw a gray bird on the window. The bird was whistling a pretty song. Lily liked the song. She wanted to whistle too. She tried to make the same sound as the bird, but she could not. She only made a funny noise. The bird looked at her and tilted its head. + +"Hello, bird," Lily said. "Can you teach me how to whistle?" + +The bird nodded and whistled again. Lily listened and tried to copy. She puckered her lips and blew. She made a small whistle. She was happy. She smiled and clapped her hands. + +"Good job, Lily," the bird said. "You are a fast learner. Do you want to be my friend?" + +"Yes, please," Lily said. "You are a nice bird. Do you want a lollipop?" + +The bird shook its head. "No, thank you. Lollipops are bad for my beak. But I can share some seeds with you. They are good for both of us." + +Lily agreed. She went to get some seeds from the kitchen. She came back and gave some to the bird. They ate and whistled together. Lily was not sad anymore. She had a new friend and a new skill. She forgot about the lollipop. She was happy. +Lily and Ben were going to the park with their mom. They were very happy because they liked to play on the swings and slides. But on the way, they got stuck in traffic. There were too many cars and buses on the road. They had to wait and wait. + +"Mom, when will we get to the park?" Lily asked. + +"Soon, honey, soon. We just have to be patient," mom said. + +But Ben was not patient. He was bored and angry. He started to kick the seat in front of him and shout. + +"Move, move, move! I want to go to the park now!" he yelled. + +"Ben, stop that! You are being rude and noisy. You are hurting the seat and bothering the driver," mom said. + +"I don't care! I hate traffic! I hate waiting!" Ben said. + +Mom tried to calm him down, but he did not listen. He kept kicking and shouting. Then, he heard a loud honk. He looked out the window and saw a big truck behind them. The truck driver was angry too. He was waving his fist and yelling at them. + +"Hey, kid, stop kicking my truck! You are damaging it and making me late! You are a bad boy!" he said. + +Ben was scared. He stopped kicking and shouting. He realized he had made a mistake. He had been rude to the truck driver and his mom. He had not been nice or respectful. He felt sorry. + +"Mom, I'm sorry. I was wrong. I should not have kicked the seat or shouted. I should have been quiet and polite. I did not finish my manners," he said. + +Mom smiled and hugged him. + +"It's okay, Ben. I'm glad you learned your lesson. You should always finish your manners, no matter what. That's how you show respect and kindness to others. And that's how you avoid trouble and make friends," she said. + +Lily nodded and agreed. + +"Yes, Ben. Finish your manners. And finish your fun. Look, the traffic is moving. We are almost at the park!" she said. + +Ben looked and saw the park. He was happy again. He thanked the truck driver and his mom. He finished his manners. And he finished his fun. He played on the swings and slides with Lily and mom. He had a good time. He learned a good value. +Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big field with many flowers and butterflies. They wanted to go and explore it. + +"Can we go to the field, Mom?" Lily asked. + +"Yes, but be careful and don't go too far," Mom said. + +Lily and Tom ran to the field, holding hands. They saw yellow, pink, and blue flowers. They smelled sweet and pretty. They saw butterflies with different colors and patterns. They tried to catch them, but they were too fast. + +"Look, Tom, a big red butterfly!" Lily said, pointing. + +"Wow, let's follow it!" Tom said. + +They ran after the big red butterfly, but they did not see where they were going. They went past the fence and into the woods. They did not hear Mom calling them. + +Soon, they were lost. They did not see the field or the fence anymore. They only saw trees and shadows. They heard strange noises and rustles. + +"Where are we, Lily?" Tom asked, feeling scared. + +"I don't know, Tom. I can't see the field," Lily said, feeling scared too. + +They hugged each other and started to cry. They wished they had listened to Mom and stayed in the field. + +Then, they heard a familiar voice. + +"Lily! Tom! Where are you?" It was Mom. She had followed their footprints and found them. + +"Mom! Mom! We're here!" Lily and Tom shouted. + +Mom ran to them and hugged them. She was angry, but also happy and relieved. + +"What were you doing in the woods? You could have been hurt or lost. You should have stayed in the field," Mom said. + +"We're sorry, Mom. We saw a big red butterfly and we wanted to catch it. But we got lost and we were scared," Lily and Tom said.
