Lily says. "It is so shiny and pretty!" + +Tom nods. He wants a shiny tooth too. He runs to the man and says, "Hello, sir. How did you get your shiny tooth?" + +The man laughs. He says, "Hello, little boy. I got my shiny tooth from the dentist. He put it in my mouth. It is expensive. It cost a lot of money." + +Tom is surprised. He says, "Why did you pay a lot of money for a shiny tooth? You can get a shiny tooth for free. Just brush your teeth every day and they will shine." + +The man smiles. He says, "You are very smart, little boy. You are right. Brushing your teeth is good for you. But I like my shiny tooth. It makes me happy." + +Lily and Tom shrug. They do not understand why the man likes his expensive shiny tooth. They think it is silly. They say goodbye to the man and go back to play. They have fun with their own teeth. They are not shiny, but they are clean and healthy. +Jill liked to look for bugs in the garden. She thought they were beautiful and wanted to learn more about them. One day, she found a big black beetle with shiny spots on its back. She was very happy and picked it up gently. + +"Look, Mommy, look what I found!" she said, running to her mother, who was sitting on the porch. "It's a beetle, a beautiful beetle!" + +Her mother smiled and encouraged her. "That's wonderful, Jill. You have a good eye for bugs. Do you know what kind of beetle it is?" + +Jill shook her head. "No, Mommy, I don't. Can you tell me?" + +Her mother took a closer look at the beetle and frowned. "Oh, Jill, I'm sorry, but this is not a good beetle. This is a bad beetle. It's called a blister beetle, and it can hurt you if you touch it. It has a poison in its body that can make your skin burn and blister. You have to put it down right now and wash your hands." + +Jill was scared and confused. She didn't want to hurt the beetle, but she didn't want to get hurt either. She opened her hand and let the beetle fall to the ground. But it was too late. She felt a sharp pain in her palm and saw a red mark forming. She started to cry. + +"Mommy, Mommy, it hurts, it hurts!" she sobbed. + +Her mother hugged her and took her inside. She washed her hand with soap and water and put some cream on it. She told her not to worry, that it would heal soon, and that she was brave and strong. + +Jill felt a little better, but she was still sad and angry. She didn't understand why the beetle was bad, why it hurt her, why it wasn't beautiful. She learned a hard lesson that day: not everything that looks beautiful is good, and not everything that looks bad is evil. She also learned to be more careful and curious about the things she found in the garden, and to ask her mother before touching them. +Tom loves trains. He has many toy trains that he plays with every day. He likes to make them go fast and slow, and to make them stop and start. He also likes to watch real trains when they pass by his house. He dreams of riding a train someday. + +One day, his mom tells him that they are going to visit his grandma, who lives far away. She says they will take a train to get there. Tom is very happy and excited. He packs his toy trains in his backpack and gets ready to go. + +At the train station, Tom sees a big train with many cars. He hears the train whistle and the wheels clack. He holds his mom's hand and follows her to their seats. He looks out the window and sees the trees and houses and fields go by. He feels the train move and shake. + +"Mom, can I talk to the train driver?" Tom asks. + +"Maybe later, honey. He is very busy right now. He has to make sure the train is safe and on time," his mom says. + +Tom nods. He understands. He wants to be a train driver when he grows up. He thinks it is a very important and fun job. He wonders what the train driver sees and knows. + +After a long time, the train arrives at their destination. Tom and his mom get off the train and look for grandma. They see her waving at them. She hugs them and kisses them. She says she is very happy to see them. + +"Grandma, guess what? We came by train!" Tom says. + +"Wow, that's wonderful! Did you enjoy the ride?" grandma asks. + +"Yes, I did! It was amazing! I saw many things and I felt the train go fast and slow. I want to be a train driver someday," Tom says. + +"I'm sure you can, if you work hard and learn a lot. You are a smart and brave boy. I'm very proud of you," grandma says. + +Tom smiles. He feels happy and proud too. He thinks he can succeed in anything he wants to do. He is ready for more adventures. He loves trains. +Lily and Tom were very happy. They were going on a safari with their mom and dad. They wanted to see lions and elephants and zebras. They packed their hats and sunglasses and binoculars. + +When they got to the safari park, they saw a big bus. The bus had many windows and a roof. The driver said, "Hello, kids. Welcome to the safari. I will take you around and show you the animals. But you have to follow some rules. You have to stay inside the bus. You have to be quiet. And you have to listen to me. Do you understand?" + +Lily and Tom nodded. They were good kids. They climbed on the bus and sat on their seats. They looked out the windows and waited for the animals. + +Soon, they saw a giraffe. It was very tall and had a long neck. It was eating leaves from a tree. Lily and Tom were amazed. They wanted to touch the giraffe. They asked their mom, "Mom, can we go out and pet the giraffe?" + +Mom shook her head. She said, "No, sweeties. You have to stay inside the bus. The giraffe might be scared or angry. It might kick you or bite you. It is not safe." + +Lily and Tom were sad. They wanted to be friends with the giraffe. They looked at the driver. He was smiling. He said, "Don't worry, kids. There are more animals to see. Look, there is a lion. It is the king of the jungle. It has a big mane and sharp teeth. It is very strong and brave." + +Lily and Tom saw the lion. It was lying on a rock. It was yawning and stretching. It looked bored. Lily and Tom were not impressed. They wanted to see the lion roar and run and hunt. They asked their dad, "Dad, can we go out and play with the lion?" + +Dad shook his head. He said, "No, sweeties. You have to stay inside the bus. The lion might be hungry or angry. It might chase you or bite you. It is not safe." + +Lily and Tom were mad. They wanted to have fun with the lion. They looked at the driver. He was laughing. He said, "Don't worry, kids. There are more animals to see. Look, there is a zebra. It is black and white and striped. It is very pretty and fast. It can run away from the lion." + +Lily and Tom saw the zebra. It was grazing on the grass. It was peaceful and calm. It looked nice. Lily and Tom liked the zebra. They wanted to ride the zebra. They asked the driver, "Driver, can we go out and ride the zebra?" + +The driver shook his head. He said, "No, kids. You have to stay inside the bus. The zebra might be shy or angry. It might kick you or run away. It is not safe." + +Lily and Tom were frustrated. They wanted to do something with the zebra. They looked at each other. They had an idea. They said, "Driver, can we request something?" + +The driver nodded. He said, "Sure, kids. What do you want to request?" + +Lily and Tom said, "We want to request a new driver. You are stupid. You don't let us do anything. You ruin our safari. We want a driver who is fun and nice and lets us do what we want." + +The driver was shocked. He said, "What? That is a very rude and silly request. You can't request a new driver. I am the only driver here. And I am not stupid. I am smart and careful and I follow the rules. The rules are for your safety and for the animals' safety. You have to respect the rules and the driver. Do you understand?" + +Lily and Tom did not understand. They did not like the rules or the driver. They crossed their arms and pouted. They said, "No, we don't understand. We don't like you. We want a new driver. We want a new safari. We want to go home." + +The driver sighed. He said, "Well, too bad. You can't have a new driver or a new safari. You have to finish this safari. And you have to behave. Or else, I will tell your mom and dad. And they will be very angry and disappointed. Do you want that?" + +Lily and Tom did not want that. They did not want their mom and dad to be angry and disappointed. They wanted their mom and dad to be happy and proud. They looked at their mom and dad. They saw their mom and dad were smiling and enjoying the safari. They saw their mom and dad were taking pictures and +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and swing. They saw a big hoop on the grass. It was red and shiny. + +"Look, a hoop!" Lily said. "Let's play with it!" + +They ran to the hoop and picked it up. They tried to roll it, toss it, and jump through it. They had a lot of fun. + +Then they heard a loud noise. They looked up and saw a big truck. It was yellow and noisy. It had a picture of a lion on the side. + +"What is that?" Ben asked. + +"It's a truck," Lily said. "Maybe it has something inside." + +They watched as the truck stopped near the park. A man got out. He wore a funny hat and a colorful coat. He smiled at them. + +"Hello, kids," he said. "Do you like my truck?" + +"Yes, it's nice," Lily said. "What do you have inside?" + +"I have some wild animals," he said. "They are from the circus. They are going to perform in the big tent over there." + +He pointed to a big tent that they had not seen before. It was white and red and had flags on top. + +"Wow, wild animals!" Ben said. "Can we see them?" + +"Sure, you can," he said. "But you have to be careful. They are not like your pets. They can bite and scratch and roar." + +He opened the back of the truck. Lily and Ben saw a cage with a lion inside. It had a big mane and sharp teeth. It looked at them and growled. + +Lily and Ben felt scared. They held each other's hands. + +"Can we go back to the hoop?" Lily asked. + +"Yes, let's go back to the hoop," Ben agreed. + +They ran back to the hoop and left the truck and the lion behind. They decided they liked the hoop better than the wild animals. They played with the hoop until their mom came to pick them up. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play in the garden. They see a big squash. It is yellow and round. They want to pick it. + +But the squash is too heavy. They pull and pull, but it does not move. They are sad. They do not know how to get the squash. + +Then they see a man. He is the farmer. He has a big knife. He smiles at Tom and Lily. He says, "Do you want some squash?" + +Tom and Lily nod. They are happy. The farmer cuts the squash. He gives them two pieces. They are juicy and sweet. They say, "Thank you, farmer!" + +The farmer says, "You are welcome, kids. Enjoy the squash. But do not eat too much. It can make you sick." + +Tom and Lily eat some squash. They save some for later. They say goodbye to the farmer. They run to their homes. They are glad they met the farmer. He is not poor. He is kind. He knows how to grow squash. +Anna likes to help her mom bake cookies. She puts on her apron and climbs on a stool. Mom gives her a big bowl and a wooden spoon. Anna sees flour, sugar, butter, eggs and chocolate chips on the counter. + +Mom says, "Anna, can you mix the flour and the sugar for me?" Anna nods and pours the flour and the sugar into the bowl. She uses her hand to hold the spoon and stirs the dry ingredients. She likes how they look like snow. + +Mom says, "Good job, Anna. You are a dependable helper. Now, can you crack an egg and add it to the bowl?" Anna is excited. She picks up an egg and taps it on the edge of the bowl. She breaks it open and lets the yolk and the white fall into the bowl. She mixes them with the flour and the sugar. + +Mom says, "Well done, Anna. You are very careful. Now, can you cut the butter into small pieces and put them in the bowl?" Anna takes a knife and a cutting board. She slices the butter and drops the pieces into the bowl. She mixes them with the other ingredients. She likes how they feel soft and smooth. + +Mom says, "You are almost done, Anna. The last thing we need is the chocolate chips. Can you sprinkle them over the bowl and mix them in?" Anna smiles. She loves chocolate chips. She grabs a handful and scatters them over the bowl. She mixes them with the rest of the dough. She likes how they look like stars. + +Mom says, "You did it, Anna. You made the cookie dough. You are a wonderful baker. Now, we can put the dough on the baking sheet and bake the cookies in the oven. Do you want to taste some?" Anna nods and licks the spoon. She says, "Mmm, yummy. Thank you, mom. I like to bake cookies with you." Mom hugs her and says, "I like to bake cookies with you too, Anna. You are my sweet and dependable cookie helper." +Lila and Ben are twins. They like to play outside. They have a big yard with a swing, a slide and a sandbox. They also have a dog named Spot. Spot is brown and white and very friendly. + +One day, Lila and Ben wake up early. They see the sunrise from their window. The sky is pink and orange and yellow. They think it is very pretty. They want to go outside and play. + +They put on their clothes and shoes. They run to their mom and dad's room. They knock on the door. + +"Mom, Dad, can we go outside and play?" they ask. + +Mom and Dad are still sleepy. They look at the clock. It is very early. + +"Not yet, sweeties. It is too early to go outside. You have to wait until the sun is higher in the sky. Then you can go outside and play. But first, you have to eat breakfast and brush your teeth. OK?" Mom says. + +Lila and Ben nod. They are a little sad. They want to go outside and play now. But they know they have to listen to Mom and Dad. They are good kids. + +They go to the kitchen and eat breakfast. They have cereal and milk and bananas. They like bananas. They also drink some juice. They brush their teeth and wash their faces. They look at the window again. The sun is higher in the sky. The sky is blue and bright. + +"Can we go outside and play now, Mom?" they ask. + +Mom smiles. She looks at the clock. It is not too early anymore. + +"Yes, you can go outside and play now. But remember to put on your hats and sunscreen. And don't go too far. And be nice to each other. And have fun. OK?" Mom says. + +Lila and Ben say OK. They put on their hats and sunscreen. They hug Mom and say thank you. They run outside and play. They swing, they slide, they dig in the sandbox. They also play with Spot. They throw a ball and Spot fetches it. They laugh and giggle. They have a lot of fun. + +They play until the sun is low in the sky. The sky is red and purple and dark. They see the sunset from their yard. They think it is very pretty. They are tired and hungry. + +They hear Mom calling them. + +"Lila, Ben, time to come inside. It is getting dark. You have to take a bath and eat dinner and go to bed. OK?" Mom says. + +Lila and Ben say OK. They stop playing and run inside. They take a bath and eat dinner. They have soup and bread and cheese. They like cheese. They also drink some milk. They brush their teeth and put on their pajamas. They go to their room and get into their beds. + +Mom and Dad come to their room. They tuck them in and kiss them goodnight. + +"Did you have a good day, sweeties?" Dad asks. + +"Yes, we had a good day. We played outside and saw the sunrise and the sunset. They were very pretty. We also played with Spot. He is a good dog. We had a lot of fun." Lila says. + +"That sounds like a good day. We are proud of you. You are good kids. We love you very much." Mom says. + +"We love you too, Mom and Dad. Goodnight." Ben says. + +Mom and Dad turn off the light and close the door. Lila and Ben close their eyes and fall asleep. They dream of playing outside and seeing the sunrise and the sunset. They are happy. The end. +Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a sign that says "Do not touch". The sign is next to a big fence. Behind the fence, there are many spikes. The spikes are sharp and shiny. + +Sara is curious. She wants to see the spikes closer. She says to Ben, "Let's go over the fence. The sign is silly. The spikes are pretty." + +Ben is scared. He does not want to go over the fence. He says to Sara, "No, Sara. The sign is not silly. The sign is smart. The spikes are dangerous. They can hurt us. We should listen to the sign." + +Sara does not listen to Ben. She climbs over the fence. She reaches out her hand to touch a spike. But the spike is very sharp. It cuts her finger. Sara cries out in pain. She drops her hand and sees blood. + +Ben hears Sara cry. He is compassionate. He climbs over the fence too. He runs to Sara and hugs her. He says to Sara, "I'm sorry, Sara. Are you okay? Let me see your finger. We should go to the nurse. She can help you." + +Sara nods. She is sorry too. She says to Ben, "Thank you, Ben. You are a good friend. You are right. The sign is smart. The spikes are dangerous. We should not touch them. We should go to the nurse." + +Ben and Sara hold hands. They climb back over the fence. They walk to the nurse. The nurse is kind. She cleans Sara's finger and puts a band-aid on it. She says to Ben and Sara, "You are brave. But you should be careful. You should follow the signs. They are there to protect you." + +Ben and Sara nod. They say to the nurse, "Thank you, nurse. We will follow the signs. We will be careful." + +They hug the nurse and each other. They learn their lesson. They are still friends. They still like to play in the park. But they do not touch the spikes. +Sam liked to swim in the pool. He liked to splash and kick and float. He liked to wear his goggles and see the fish and the bubbles. He liked to swim with his mom and dad and his sister Lily. + +But today was very hot. The sun was bright and the air was sticky. Sam felt sweaty and thirsty. He wanted to swim in the pool, but the pool was too hot. It felt like a big bath. Sam did not like baths. He liked cool water. + +Sam had an idea. He saw a hose near the pool. The hose was for watering the plants. Sam thought he could use the hose to make the pool cooler. He ran to the hose and turned it on. He aimed it at the pool and sprayed the water. + +Lily was in the pool. She did not know what Sam was doing. She felt something cold and wet on her head. She looked up and saw the hose. She screamed and laughed. She liked the cold water. She called Sam to join her. + +Sam was happy. He had made the pool cooler. He dropped the hose and jumped in the pool. He swam to Lily and hugged her. They splashed and kicked and floated. They wore their goggles and saw the fish and the bubbles. They swam with their mom and dad. They had fun in the pool. +Lily was a girl who liked to play in nature. She liked to see the flowers, the birds, and the bugs. She liked to touch the leaves, the rocks, and the water. She liked to smell the grass, the dirt, and the air. + +One day, Lily saw a butterfly on a flower. She wanted to catch it and keep it. She ran to the flower and grabbed the butterfly. The butterfly was hurt. It could not fly. Lily was happy. She put the butterfly in a jar and took it home. + +At home, Lily showed the butterfly to her mom. Her mom was not happy. She said, "Lily, you should not catch the butterfly. The butterfly belongs to nature. It needs to fly and be free. If you keep it in a jar, it will die. How would you feel if someone caught you and put you in a jar?" + +Lily thought about what her mom said. She felt sad. She did not want to hurt the butterfly. She did not want to die in a jar. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I did not know. I wanted to play with the butterfly. Can I let it go?" + +Her mom said, "Yes, you can let it go. But first, you need to say sorry to the butterfly. And next time, you can play with nature without hurting it. You can look, but not touch. You can admire, but not take. You can love, but not own." + +Lily nodded. She opened the jar and said sorry to the butterfly. She gently let it go. The butterfly flew away. Lily smiled. She learned to respect nature. She learned to be kind. +Tom and his wife Ann went to the park with their dog Spot. They liked to play with Spot and throw a ball for him. Spot was very fast and happy. + +But the park was wet and muddy. Tom threw the ball very far and Spot ran after it. Tom and Ann followed him, but they did not see a big puddle. Tom stepped on the puddle and slipped. He fell down and got wet and dirty. + +"Ouch!" Tom said. "That hurt!" + +Ann saw Tom and ran to help him. But she also slipped on the puddle and fell down next to him. She got wet and dirty too. + +"Oh no!" Ann said. "Are you okay?" + +Tom and Ann looked at each other and laughed. They were both okay, but they were very messy. Spot came back with the ball and licked their faces. He did not mind the mud. + +"Good boy, Spot!" Tom and Ann said. "You are a good dog!" + +They got up and walked back to their car. They were poor, but they had each other and Spot. They were happy. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play in their big building. They lived on the tenth floor with their mom and dad. Sometimes they rode the elevator up and down, but only when mom or dad allowed them. They knew the elevator was not a toy. + +One day, they were bored and wanted to have some fun. They saw that mom and dad were busy in the kitchen. They decided to sneak out and ride the elevator. They pushed the button and waited for the door to open. + +"Come on, Lily, let's go!" Ben said. + +"OK, Ben, but don't push too many buttons!" Lily said. + +They got in the elevator and Ben pushed all the buttons he could see. The elevator started to move up and down, stopping at every floor. Ben and Lily laughed and jumped and shouted. + +But then, something bad happened. The elevator made a loud noise and stopped. The lights went out and the door did not open. Ben and Lily were scared and alone in the dark. + +"Help! Help!" they cried. + +They heard a voice from a speaker. It was the man who worked in the building. + +"Don't worry, kids, I'm here. The elevator is broken. I'm going to fix it. Stay calm and don't touch anything." + +Ben and Lily hugged each other and waited. They felt sorry for being naughty. They wished they had listened to mom and dad. + +After a long time, the lights came back on and the door opened. The man was there. He looked angry and disgusted. + +"What were you thinking, kids? You could have been hurt. You made a big mess. Look at all the buttons you pushed. And what is that smell?" + +Ben and Lily looked down and saw that they had spilled their juice and cookies on the floor. The elevator was dirty and sticky and smelly. + +They felt ashamed and said sorry to the man. They said sorry to mom and dad, too, who came running to hug them. + +Mom and dad were glad that they were safe, but they were also upset. They said that Ben and Lily were not allowed to ride the elevator alone ever again. They said that they had to clean up the elevator and say sorry to the other people who lived in the building. + +Ben and Lily learned their lesson. They never played with the elevator again. They found other ways to have fun that did not cause trouble. +Anna loved to dance. She liked to twist and turn and jump and spin. She felt happy and graceful when she danced. She danced every day in her room, with her music and her toys. + +One morning, Anna woke up to a loud noise. It was her alarm. It was time to get ready for school. But Anna did not want to stop dancing. She wanted to dance more and more. She ignored the alarm and kept dancing. + +"Anna, wake up! It's time for school!" her mom called from downstairs. "You don't want to be late!" + +But Anna did not listen to her mom. She pretended she did not hear her. She danced faster and faster. She twisted and turned and jumped and spun. + +"Anna, come on! You have to eat your breakfast and brush your teeth!" her mom called again. "The bus is coming soon!" + +But Anna did not care about the bus. She only cared about dancing. She danced harder and harder. She twisted and turned and jumped and spun. + +"Anna, hurry up! The bus is here!" her mom shouted. "You have to go now!" + +But Anna did not move. She was too busy dancing. She twisted and turned and jumped and spun. She did not see her mom coming into her room. She did not see her mom grabbing her arm and pulling her out of the bed. She did not see her mom putting on her clothes and shoes and backpack. She did not see her mom dragging her to the bus. + +"Anna, what were you doing?" her mom asked. "Why did you not listen to me? Why did you not stop dancing?" + +Anna looked at her mom. She felt sad and sorry. She realized she had been naughty and rude. She realized she had missed her breakfast and her teeth and her alarm. She realized she had made her mom angry and worried. + +"I'm sorry, mom," Anna said. "I love to dance, but I should have listened to you. I should have stopped dancing when you told me. I should have been ready for school." + +Her mom hugged her and kissed her. She was still angry, but she also loved her. She knew Anna loved to dance, but she also wanted her to learn and grow. + +"I love you, Anna," her mom said. "But you have to remember that dancing is not the only thing in life. You have to balance your time and your priorities. You have to respect your alarm and your mom and your school. You have to be responsible and obedient and polite." + +Anna nodded and hugged her mom back. She understood her mom's words. She wanted to be a good girl and a good dancer. She wanted to make her mom proud and happy. + +"Thank you, mom," Anna said. "I will try to do better. I will listen to you and my alarm and my school. I will dance when I have time and when it is appropriate. I will be graceful and grateful." + +Her mom smiled and wiped her tears. She was glad Anna learned her lesson. She hoped Anna would keep her promise. She hoped Anna would enjoy her dance and her life. +Lily likes to test things. She likes to see what happens when she does something new or different. Sometimes she tests her toys, like when she puts them in water or sand. Sometimes she tests her mom, like when she says no or runs away. Sometimes she tests herself, like when she climbs or jumps. + +One day, Lily had a weird urge. She wanted to test the cat. The cat was big and fluffy and always sleeping on the couch. Lily wondered what the cat would do if she pulled its tail or poked its nose. She was curious and brave, but also a little scared. + +She waited until the cat was alone and quiet. She tiptoed to the couch and reached for the cat's tail. She pulled it gently, but the cat did not like it. It hissed and scratched Lily's hand. Lily cried out and let go of the tail. She ran to her mom and showed her the scratch. Her mom hugged her and put a band-aid on her hand. + +"Lily, why did you do that?" her mom asked. "You know you should not bother the cat. The cat does not like to be tested. It hurts the cat and it hurts you." + +Lily felt sorry and sad. She did not mean to hurt the cat or herself. She just wanted to test the cat. She learned that some things are not good to test. She said sorry to her mom and to the cat. She decided to test something else next time. Something that would not hiss or scratch. Maybe a ball or a book or a flower. +Tom was a hunter. He liked to go to the forest and look for animals. He had a big gun and a big hat. He thought he was very brave and strong. + +One day, he saw a big bear in the forest. He wanted to shoot the bear and take it home. He aimed his gun and pulled the trigger. But nothing happened. His gun was broken. The bear heard the click and looked at Tom. It was angry and hungry. + +Tom was scared. He ran away from the bear. He dropped his gun and his hat. He ran and ran until he reached his car. He got in and drove away. He was safe, but he was also embarrassed. + +He went to his friend Bob's house. Bob was also a hunter. He had many animal heads on his wall. He was proud of them. + +"Hi, Tom," Bob said. "Did you have a good hunt?" + +Tom did not want to tell Bob what happened. He lied. He said, "Yes, I saw a big bear. But I let it go. I felt sorry for it." + +Bob did not believe Tom. He saw Tom's face. He saw that Tom had no gun and no hat. He knew that Tom was lying. + +"Really?" Bob said. "Then where is your gun and your hat?" + +Tom did not know what to say. He was very embarrassed. He wished he could remove his lie. He wished he could remove the bear. He wished he could remove himself. +Tom and Sue are playing with blocks. They want to build a big tower. They use many blocks of different colors and shapes. They put one block on top of another block. They are happy. + +But then, Max comes. Max is not nice. He likes to break things. He sees Tom and Sue's tower. He runs to it and pushes it. The blocks fall down. Tom and Sue are sad. + +"Max, why did you do that?" Tom asks. "That was our tower. We worked hard to make it." + +"I don't care," Max says. "I like to break things. It is fun." + +Tom and Sue are angry. They want to stop Max. They have an idea. They find a big box. The box is empty. They put some blocks inside the box. They hide the box behind a chair. + +"Max, we have a surprise for you," Sue says. "Do you want to see it?" + +Max is curious. He likes surprises. He follows Sue to the chair. He sees the box. + +"What is in the box?" Max asks. + +"It is a measure," Tom says. "It can tell you how big you are. Do you want to try it?" + +Max nods. He likes to know how big he is. He thinks he is bigger than Tom and Sue. He opens the box. He puts his head inside the box. He does not see anything. The box is dark. + +"Ha ha, we got you!" Tom and Sue say. They close the box. They keep Max inside the box. They hear Max scream. + +"Let me out! Let me out!" Max says. + +"No, you have to stay there," Tom and Sue say. "You have to learn to be nice. You have to say sorry for breaking our tower." + +Max is scared. He does not like the box. He does not like the dark. He does not like to be alone. He realizes he was wrong. He says sorry. + +"Please, let me out. I am sorry. I will not break your tower again. I will play nicely with you." + +Tom and Sue hear Max. They feel sorry for him. They open the box. They let Max out. Max hugs them. He is happy. + +"Thank you for letting me out. I am sorry for being mean. Can we be friends?" Max asks. + +"Yes, we can be friends," Tom and Sue say. "But you have to be nice. You have to share. You have to help us build our tower again." + +"Okay, I will," Max says. "I like to build things. It is more fun than breaking things." + +They smile. They hug. They go to build their tower again. They use many blocks of different colors and shapes. They put one block on top of another block. They are happy. +Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play in the park. They loved to skip on the grass, slide on the slide and swing on the swing. One day, they saw a new swing that was bigger and higher than the others. They wanted to try it, but there was a sign that said "Only for big kids". + +"Let's go on the new swing!" Ben said. "It looks fun!" + +"But the sign says no," Lily said. "We are not big kids. We are little kids." + +"So what?" Ben said. "The sign is silly. We can do what we want. Come on, Lily, don't be scared!" + +Ben was naughty. He did not listen to the sign. He ran to the new swing and climbed on it. He pushed himself hard and swung very high. He laughed and shouted, "Whee! This is great!" + +Lily watched Ben. She felt scared and sad. She knew Ben was doing something wrong. She wanted to tell him to stop, but she was afraid he would be angry. She wished he would come back and play with her on the other swings. + +Suddenly, Ben swung too high and lost his balance. He fell off the swing and landed on the ground. He cried out in pain. He hurt his arm and his leg. He felt sorry and scared. + +Lily ran to Ben. She helped him get up and hugged him. She said, "Ben, are you okay? You should not have gone on the new swing. It was too big and too high for you. You were naughty. You did not follow the sign." + +Ben looked at Lily. He felt ashamed and sorry. He said, "Lily, you are right. I was naughty. I did not follow the sign. I was silly and mean. I should have listened to you. I am sorry. Will you forgive me?" + +Lily smiled and nodded. She said, "Of course I forgive you, Ben. You are my friend. But next time, please be careful and follow the rules. They are there to keep us safe and happy." + +Ben nodded and smiled. He said, "Thank you, Lily. You are a good friend. Next time, I will be careful and follow the rules. Come on, let's go and play on the other swings. They are more fun and safer for us." + +Lily and Ben held hands and skipped to the other swings. They swung together and laughed. They learned their lesson and had fun. They were good friends. +Tim and Jen are twins. They like to play with blocks. They have many blocks of different colors. They can make towers, houses, bridges and more. + +One day, they decide to make a big tower that can reach the ceiling. They start to stack the blocks on the floor. They use red, yellow, green and blue blocks. They take turns to add more blocks. They are careful not to make the tower fall. + +"Look, Jen, we are almost there!" Tim says. He points to the ceiling. The ceiling is white and has a light. The tower is very tall and has many colors. + +"Wow, Tim, you are right!" Jen says. She smiles. She picks up a blue block. She likes blue. It is her favorite color. She says, "This is the last block. Can I put it on top?" + +"Sure, Jen, you can do it!" Tim says. He holds the tower steady. He hopes the tower will not fall. He says, "Then we will complete our tower. It will be the best tower ever!" + +Jen reaches up with the blue block. She places it on top of the tower. The tower is complete. It touches the ceiling. Jen and Tim clap their hands. They are happy. They hug each other. They say, "We did it! We made a big tower that can reach the ceiling!" + +They look at their tower. It is beautiful. It has many colors. It has a blue block on top. They are proud of their tower. They say, "We love our tower. We love our blocks. We love to play together." +Sara was very happy. She had a new baby brother. His name was Max. He was very small and cute. Sara wanted to introduce him to her best friend, Lily. + +She asked her mom, "Can I take Max to Lily's house?" + +Her mom said, "Yes, you can, but be careful. He is very fragile. And don't forget your coat. It is cold outside." + +Sara put on her coat and took Max in his stroller. She walked to Lily's house. She knocked on the door. Lily opened it. She was very excited. + +"Hi, Sara! Who is this?" she asked. + +"This is Max. He is my baby brother. He was born yesterday. Do you want to see him?" Sara said. + +"Yes, please! He is so cute! Can I touch him?" Lily said. + +"Yes, you can, but be gentle. He is very soft. And say hello. He is very friendly." Sara said. + +Lily touched Max's cheek and said, "Hello, Max. I am Lily. I am Sara's friend. You are very sweet. I like you." + +Max smiled and made a little noise. He liked Lily too. Sara and Lily hugged. They were very happy. They had a new friend. +Tom and Lily were playing with blocks. They liked to build towers and houses and cars. But Tom wanted to have more blocks than Lily. He took some of her blocks when she was not looking. Lily saw him and said, "Hey, that's not fair! Give me back my blocks!" + +Tom did not listen. He said, "No, they are mine now. I need them for my big tower. You have enough blocks. Go away!" He pushed Lily with his hand. + +Lily felt sad and angry. She said, "You are mean and ignorant. You don't know how to share. You don't know how to be a good friend." She pushed Tom back with her finger. + +Tom felt a sharp pain in his eye. He cried out, "Ow, ow, ow! You hurt me! You poked me in the eye with your finger! That's not nice! That's not nice at all!" + +Lily felt sorry for Tom. She said, "I'm sorry, Tom. I didn't mean to hurt you. I just wanted my blocks back. Are you okay?" + +Tom rubbed his eye. He said, "I'm okay, Lily. I'm sorry, too. I was selfish and ignorant. I should have shared with you. You are my friend. Can we play together again?" + +Lily smiled. She said, "Yes, Tom. We can play together again. But we have to be kind and respectful to each other. We have to learn from our mistakes. That's how we become better people." + +Tom and Lily hugged. They said, "We are sorry. We are friends. We will share." They played with the blocks happily. They learned a valuable lesson that day. +Sara and Tom are hungry. They want to eat lunch. Mom makes them a sandwich. She puts cheese and ham on bread. She cuts the sandwich in two pieces. + +"Here you go, Sara and Tom. Be careful, the cheese is hot. Don't burn your mouth," Mom says. + +Sara and Tom say thank you. They take their sandwich and go outside. They want to eat on the grass. They step on the grass. It is soft and green. They see a big tree. They sit under the tree. They eat their sandwich. + +"Yum, this sandwich is good. I like cheese and ham," Sara says. + +"Me too. But it is hot. I need some water," Tom says. + +They see a bottle of water. Mom put it in a bag. They take the bottle and drink some water. It is cold and fresh. They feel better. + +They finish their sandwich. They are full and happy. They say thank you to Mom. They play under the tree. They have fun. They are happy. +Ben and Mia are playing in the park. They like to swing and slide and run. But they are hungry. They want to eat some snacks. + +They see a big tree with red apples. They want to pick some apples. But the tree is too high. They cannot reach the apples. + +Ben has an idea. He finds a big stick. He tries to hit the apples with the stick. He swings the stick hard. But he misses the apples. He hits a branch. The branch breaks. The stick and the branch fall on Ben's body. Ben cries. He is hurt. + +Mia runs to Ben. She hugs him. She says sorry. She helps him get up. She sees a man with a basket. The man has many apples in the basket. He is kind. He gives Ben and Mia some apples. He says they are sweet and juicy. + +Ben and Mia say thank you. They eat the apples. They are happy. They are not hungry anymore. They share the apples with the other kids in the park. They make new friends. They have fun. +Sara liked to draw with her crayons. She drew big flowers, small animals, and funny faces. She wanted to show her drawings to her mom and dad, but they were busy. They said they would look at them later. + +Sara had an idea. She saw the big machine on the desk. It had a button that said "print". She knew that print meant to make a copy of something. She wanted to make copies of her drawings and put them all over the house. Then her mom and dad would see them for sure. + +She climbed on the chair and put one of her drawings on the machine. She pressed the button. The machine made a noise and spit out a paper. It had her drawing on it. Sara was happy. She did the same with all her drawings. She had a big pile of papers. + +She ran around the house and taped the papers on the walls, the doors, the windows, and the fridge. She was very proud of her work. She thought her mom and dad would be proud too. + +But they were not. When they saw the papers, they were angry. They said Sara was not allowed to use the machine. They said it was for grown-ups only. They said she wasted a lot of paper and ink. They said she made a mess. They took down the papers and threw them in the trash. Sara was sad. She cried. + +She wished she had waited for her mom and dad to look at her drawings. She wished she had asked them before using the machine. She wished she had not made them mad. She hugged her crayons and said she was sorry. She hoped they would forgive her. She learned a lesson. She would not do it again. +Sara and Ben liked to play in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They also liked to look for bugs. They had a jar with holes to keep the bugs they found. + +One day, they saw a big, shiny bug on a flower. It had green wings and a red body. Sara wanted to catch it. She ran to the flower and reached for the bug. But she was careless. She did not see the bee that was also on the flower. + +"Ouch!" Sara cried. She felt a sting on her hand. The bee had bitten her. She dropped the jar and the bug flew away. Ben ran to Sara and saw her hand. It was red and swollen. + +"Sara, are you okay?" Ben asked. He was worried. + +"No, it hurts!" Sara said. She was sad and angry. She wanted the bug and the bee had spoiled it. + +"Let's go to mom. She will make it better." Ben said. He took Sara's other hand and led her to the bench where their mom was sitting. He hoped she had some ice and a band-aid. + +Mom saw Sara's hand and hugged her. She said sorry and gave her some ice and a band-aid. She told her to be careful next time and not to touch the bees. She also told her that the bug was a dragonfly and that it was very pretty but very fast. + +Sara felt better after a while. She said thank you to mom and Ben. She still wanted the bug, but she learned to be more careful. She and Ben decided to play on the swings instead. They still liked to look for bugs, but they also liked to fly high in the air. +Anna and Ben are playing in the pool with their grandma. Grandma is elderly, but she likes to swim and splash with them. She teaches them how to dive and float and kick. + +"Look, Grandma, I can dive like a fish!" Anna says, and she dives under the water. She sees a shiny string at the bottom of the pool. She swims to get it, but it is too far. + +"Anna, come up, you need to breathe!" Grandma says, and she dives after her. She grabs Anna and the string and brings them to the surface. + +"Are you okay, Anna?" Grandma asks, hugging her. + +"I'm okay, Grandma, thank you. What is this string?" Anna asks, holding the string. + +"It's a necklace, Anna. It was mine when I was a little girl. I lost it in the pool a long time ago. I'm so happy you found it!" Grandma says, smiling. + +"Wow, Grandma, it's so pretty! Can I have it?" Anna asks, admiring the necklace. + +"Of course, Anna, it's yours now. You are a brave and clever diver. I'm very proud of you!" Grandma says, and she puts the necklace around Anna's neck. + +"Thank you, Grandma, I love you!" Anna says, and she gives Grandma a big kiss. + +"I love you too, Anna. And you too, Ben. Come on, let's play some more!" Grandma says, and they all laugh and swim and dive together. +Tom is a loyal dog. He loves his family and helps them every day. He likes to deliver the newspaper to his dad in the morning. He runs to the mailbox and grabs the paper with his teeth. Then he brings it to his dad, who is sitting on the couch. His dad smiles and pats his head. "Good boy, Tom. Thank you for the paper," he says. + +Tom also likes to deliver toys to his sister, Lily. She is three years old and likes to play with dolls and cars. Sometimes she leaves her toys on the floor or on the table. Tom picks them up with his mouth and carries them to her room. He puts them on the shelf, where they belong. Lily claps her hands and hugs him. "Good boy, Tom. Thank you for the toys," she says. + +One day, Tom sees a big box on the porch. It has a sticker that says "Deliver to Lily". Tom thinks it is a present for his sister. He wants to deliver it to her and make her happy. He pushes the box with his nose and drags it to the door. He barks to let his mom know he is there. His mom opens the door and sees the box. She is surprised and confused. "Tom, what are you doing? This is not for you. This is for Lily. It is her birthday cake. You can't deliver it like that. It will get ruined," she says. + +Tom looks at the box and then at his mom. He does not understand. He thought he was doing a good thing. He feels sad and ashamed. He drops the box and lowers his ears. He whines and walks away. His mom feels sorry for him. She knows he was trying to help. She follows him and hugs him. "I'm sorry, Tom. I didn't mean to scold you. You are a good boy and a loyal dog. You always deliver things to us. But some things are not for you to deliver. They are too big or too fragile or too special. You have to ask first. OK?" she says. + +Tom nods and licks her face. He is happy again. He loves his mom and his family. He wants to deliver them joy and love. He is a loyal dog. +Anna and Ben are playing with their toys in the living room. Anna has a doll and Ben has a car. They are having fun, but they are also making a lot of noise. + +"Anna, Ben, please be quiet. I have to work on the computer," their mom says from the kitchen. + +"OK, mom," Anna and Ben say. But they do not listen. They keep talking and laughing and making sounds with their toys. + +Their mom gets annoyed. She comes to the living room with a roll of tape. She says, "If you do not shut your mouths, I will tape them shut. Do you understand?" + +Anna and Ben look at their mom. They are scared. They do not want tape on their mouths. They nod their heads. + +"Good. Now, play nicely and quietly. You are intelligent children. You can do it," their mom says. She goes back to the kitchen. + +Anna and Ben look at each other. They do not want to upset their mom. They decide to play a new game. They whisper to each other. They pretend that their toys are secret agents. They use the tape to make badges and codes. They have fun, but they are also quiet. + +Their mom smiles. She is proud of her children. She thinks they are very intelligent and creative. She finishes her work on the computer. She joins them in the living room. She hugs them and says, "I love you, Anna and Ben. You are such good children." +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a man in a suit. He walks very fast and talks on his phone. + +"Who is he?" Tom asks. + +"I don't know. Maybe he is a boss," Sam says. + +"He looks mighty. He has a big coat and a tie," Tom says. + +They follow the man in the suit. They want to see where he goes. They walk behind him and copy his steps. + +The man in the suit stops at a big building. He opens the door and goes inside. Tom and Sam peek through the window. They see many people in suits. They sit at desks and type on computers. + +"Wow, this is where the bosses work," Sam says. + +"Can we go inside?" Tom asks. + +"No, we can't. We are not in suits. We are in shirts and pants," Sam says. + +They hear a voice behind them. It is the man in the suit. He looks angry. + +"Hey, you two. What are you doing here? This is not a place for kids. Go away," he says. + +Tom and Sam are scared. They run away from the building. They go back to the park. They play on the swings and the slide. + +They decide they don't want to be in suits. They want to be kids. They have more fun. +Lily liked to help her mom in the kitchen. She wanted to improve her cooking skills. One day, mom asked her to make some lemonade for them. Lily was happy and excited. + +She took a big cup and filled it with water. Then she cut a lemon in half and squeezed it into the cup. She added some sugar and stirred it well. She tasted it and made a sour face. It was too sour! She added more sugar and tasted it again. It was still sour! + +She thought for a moment and had an idea. She ran to the garden and picked some mint leaves. She washed them and tore them into small pieces. She put them in the cup and stirred it again. She tasted it and smiled. It was much better! It was sweet and fresh and minty. + +She poured some lemonade into another cup and gave it to her mom. Mom tasted it and praised her. She said it was the best lemonade she ever had. Lily was proud and happy. She improved her lemonade with mint. She hugged her mom and they enjoyed their drink together. +Jill and Jack were twins who liked to play in their room. They had many toys and books, but their favorite thing was to draw on the wall with crayons. They made colorful pictures of animals, flowers, and stars. They were very happy and proud of their wall. + +One day, their mom came into their room and saw the wall. She was very angry and said, "What have you done to the wall? You have made a big mess! You have to clean it up right now!" She gave them a sponge and a bucket of water and told them to scrub the wall. + +Jill and Jack did not want to clean the wall. They liked their pictures and did not think they were a mess. They started to cry and said, "No, mom, please! We love our wall! It is very pretty and charming! Don't make us erase it!" + +Mom did not listen. She said, "You have to obey me. You have to respect the house. You have to learn to share. You cannot draw on the wall. It is not yours. It is ours. Now, start cleaning or you will be in trouble!" + +Jill and Jack were very sad and scared. They did not want to be in trouble, but they also did not want to lose their wall. They looked at each other and had an idea. They decided to split the wall in half. They drew a line with a crayon in the middle of the wall. They said, "Mom, look! We have split the wall. This half is mine and this half is yours. We will clean your half and you can keep your half. We will keep our half and you can leave our half. That way, we can share and respect the wall. Is that okay?" + +Mom looked at the wall and saw the line. She saw the twins' faces and heard their words. She felt a little sorry and a little amused. She said, "Well, that is a very clever and charming solution. But you still have to clean the wall. You can keep your half, but you have to make it neat and tidy. You can use stickers or frames or magnets to decorate it, but you cannot use crayons. Do you understand?" + +Jill and Jack nodded and said, "Yes, mom, we understand. Thank you for letting us keep our half. We will clean it and make it nice. We love you, mom." + +Mom smiled and said, "I love you too, Jill and Jack. You are very sweet and creative twins. But next time, please ask me before you draw on the wall. Okay?" + +Jill and Jack said, "Okay, mom. We will ask you next time. We are sorry for making you angry. We are happy for making you smile." + +They hugged their mom and started to clean the wall. They were still sad to lose some of their pictures, but they were glad to keep some of them.

We still have many blocks." + +Anna wipes her tears. "Really? Can we?" + +Tom nods. "Yes, we can. We are friends. We can finish anything together." + +Anna smiles. "You are right, Tom. We are friends. We can finish anything together." + +They pick up the blocks. They start to make a new tower. The wind is gone. The sky is clear. They are happy. +Lily and Ben were playing with their new toy car. It was red and shiny and had a big handle on the back. They took turns pushing it around the room and making vroom noises. + +"Can I have a turn now?" Lily asked Ben. + +"OK, but be careful. It's my car and I don't want you to break it," Ben said. + +Lily grabbed the handle and started to push the car. But she pushed too hard and the handle came off. The car rolled away and hit the wall. Lily felt a tear run down her cheek. + +"I'm sorry, Ben. I didn't mean to break your car," Lily said. + +Ben looked at the broken handle and the car. He felt angry and sad. He shouted at Lily. + +"You're so bad, Lily! You broke my car! You can't play with me anymore!" + +Lily felt more tears in her eyes. She felt ashamed and scared. She ran to her mom and hugged her. + +"Mom, I broke Ben's car. He's mad at me. What can I do?" Lily said. + +Mom looked at Lily and Ben. She saw the broken car and the handle. She felt sorry for both of them. + +"Come here, Ben. Let me see the car," Mom said. + +Ben came over and gave Mom the car and the handle. Mom looked at them and smiled. + +"Don't worry, Ben. I can fix the car. It's not a big problem. And don't be mad at Lily. She didn't do it on purpose. She was just having fun. Can you forgive her?" Mom said. + +Ben looked at Lily and saw her sad face. He remembered how much he liked playing with her. He felt sorry for shouting at her. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. I forgive you. Can we still be friends?" Ben said. + +Lily smiled and nodded. She felt happy and relieved. + +"Thank you, Ben. I'm sorry, too. Can we still play together?" Lily said. + +Ben nodded and hugged Lily. They felt happy and relieved. + +"Of course we can. You're my best friend," Ben said. + +Mom fixed the car and the handle. She gave them back to Ben and Lily. They thanked her and went back to playing. They shared the car and had fun.

She said, "Ben, you have to pick up your toys. If you don't, you will not get any snack or story time. And you will have no room to play. Picking up is good for you. It makes your room nice and clean." + +Ben still did not listen. He said, "No, mom, I don't care. I like my toys messy. They are more fun that way. You are mean and bossy." + +His mom was very angry. She said, "Ben, that is not nice. You are being rude and selfish. You have to pick up your toys now, or you will go to time out. This is your last chance." + +Ben did not want to go to time out. He knew his mom was serious. He did not like time out. It was lonely and boring. He decided to pick up his toys. He said, "Okay, mom, I will pick up my toys. I am sorry for being lazy and rude. Please don't be mad at me." + +His mom was glad. She said, "Thank you, Ben, for picking up your toys. I am not mad at you. I love you. You are a good child. Now you can have some snack and story time. And you can play with your toys in your nice and clean room." +Sam and Tom are brothers. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big pond with fish. Sam wants to catch a fish. He finds a rod and a string. He ties the string to the rod. He puts a worm on the string. + +"Look, Tom, I have a rod. I can catch a fish," Sam says. + +Tom is not sure. He thinks the fish are too fast. He says, "Sam, the fish are smart. They will not bite your worm. You have to be quiet and stay still. Or they will swim away." + +Sam nods. He is quiet and stays still. He holds the rod and waits. He hopes a fish will bite his worm. He watches the water. + +Tom watches too. He is bored. He wants to play something else. He says, "Sam, this is no fun. Let's go play on the slide. Or the swings. Or the sandbox." + +Sam shakes his head. He says, "No, Tom, I want to catch a fish. You can go play. I will stay here." + +Tom sighs. He goes to play on the slide. He slides down and up. He has fun. He forgets about Sam and the fish. + +Sam is still quiet and still.

The tail stops wagging. + +"Tim, come back!" Sam shouts. "The dog is angry. It doesn't like you. Run, Tim, run!" + +Tim is scared too. He turns around and runs. The dog chases Tim. Tim and Sam run to the slide. They climb up the slide. The dog can't reach them. The dog barks and barks. + +"Sorry, Sam, sorry." Tim says. "I was silly. I should have listened to you. The dog's tail was not funny. It was scary." + +Sam hugs Tim. "It's okay, Tim, it's okay. You are safe now. The dog can't hurt us. We are friends. We stick together." + +They look at the dog. The dog looks at them. The dog is tired. It stops barking. It lies down. The tail is still. It doesn't wag. + +"Maybe the dog is sad." Tim says. "Maybe it wants a friend too." + +"Maybe." Sam says. "But we can't be its friends. We don't know the dog. We should go home." + +They slide down the slide. They hold hands. They walk to their moms. They say goodbye to the dog. The dog watches them go.

Ben gets angry. He says those are his blocks. He pushes Lily and takes the blocks back. Lily starts to cry. + +Mom and dad hear the noise. They come to see what is wrong. They see Ben and Lily fighting over the blocks. They are not happy. They tell Ben that he should share his blocks with Lily. They say that creating is fun, but being kind and gentle is more important. They say that police officers are not only brave and strong, but also fair and helpful. They ask Ben to apologize to Lily and let her play with some of his blocks. + +Ben feels sorry. He says he is sorry to Lily. He gives her some of his blocks. He helps her make a flower. Lily smiles. She says thank you to Ben. She gives him a hug. They play together nicely. Mom and dad smile. They say they are proud of both of them. They take another picture of their creations and put it on the fridge. Ben and Lily are happy. +Lily and Ben are friends who like to play shop. They have a lot of toys and pretend they are things to sell. Lily is the shopkeeper and Ben is the customer. One day, Ben wants to buy a lot of things from Lily's shop. He asks for a big car, a big doll, a big ball, a big book and a big cake. Lily is happy to supply Ben with all the things he wants. She puts them in a big bag and gives it to Ben. + +But the bag is very heavy. Ben tries to carry it, but he cannot. He drops the bag and all the things fall out. Some of the things break and some of the things get dirty. Ben is sad and Lily is sad. They look at the mess and do not know what to do. + +Then, Lily has an idea. She says to Ben, "Maybe you do not need to buy so many things. Maybe you can buy one thing at a time and play with it. Then, you can come back and buy another thing later. That way, the bag will not be so heavy and you will not drop it. And you will have more fun with each thing." + +Ben thinks about it and agrees. He says to Lily, "You are right. I do not need to buy so many things. I can buy one thing at a time and play with it. Then, I can come back and buy another thing later. That way, the bag will not be so heavy and I will not drop it. And I will have more fun with each thing." + +Lily and Ben smile and hug. They pick up the things that are not broken and not dirty and put them back in the shop. They decide to buy one thing each and play with it. They have a lot of fun and learn to be happy with what they have. + +The moral of the story is: Do not be greedy and buy more than you can carry. Be happy with what you have and enjoy it. +Lila and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. Lila had a doll and Ben had a figure of a superhero. They liked to make up stories and act them out. + +"Help, help!" Lila said, pretending that her doll was in trouble. "The bad guy is coming to get me!" + +"Don't worry, I'm here to save you!" Ben said, holding his figure in the air. "I'm the most reliable superhero in the world!" + +He flew his figure towards the doll and made a loud noise. "Pow! Take that, bad guy!" + +Lila smiled and hugged her doll. "Thank you, superhero! You are so brave and strong!" + +Ben smiled back and put his figure next to the doll. "You're welcome, doll! You are so pretty and nice!" + +They played for a while longer, until their mom called them for lunch. They put their toys away and ran to the kitchen. + +"Can we keep playing after lunch, mom?" Lila asked. + +"Sure, honey, as long as you eat your vegetables and clean your plates," mom said. + +"OK, mom, we will!" Ben said. + +They ate their lunch and then went back to the living room. They picked up their toys and continued their stories. They had a lot of fun with their doll and their figure. They were the best of friends. +One day, Anna and Ben went to the park with their mom. They saw many pretty flowers and trees. They also saw some squirrels playing on the grass and in the branches. + +"Look, mom, squirrels!" Anna said, pointing at the furry animals. + +"Yes, they are very cute, aren't they?" mom said, smiling. + +Anna and Ben wanted to get closer to the squirrels. They walked slowly and quietly towards them. They hoped the squirrels would not run away. + +One squirrel was sitting on a low branch, eating a nut. Ben reached out his hand to touch it. He wanted to feel its soft fur. + +"Hi, squirrel, can I be your friend?" Ben asked softly. + +The squirrel looked at Ben with its bright eyes. It did not seem afraid. It tilted its head and made a small noise. + +"Hello, little boy, you are very kind," the squirrel said, in a voice only Ben could hear. + +Ben was surprised and happy. He had never heard a squirrel talk before. + +"Really? You can talk?" Ben asked, amazed. + +"Yes, I can, but only to nice children like you," the squirrel said, smiling. + +Anna saw Ben talking to the squirrel. She was curious and jealous. She wanted to talk to the squirrel too. + +She reached out her hand to touch the squirrel. But she was not as gentle as Ben. She grabbed the squirrel's tail and pulled it. + +"Ow, ow, ow, let go of me, you are hurting me!" the squirrel cried, in pain. + +The squirrel bit Anna's finger and jumped off the branch. It ran away to join its friends. + +Anna screamed and cried. Her finger was bleeding and sore. + +"Mom, mom, the squirrel bit me!" Anna wailed, running to her mom. + +Mom hugged Anna and comforted her. She cleaned her finger and put a band-aid on it. + +"I'm sorry, Anna, but you should not pull the squirrel's tail. That was not nice. You scared and hurt the squirrel," mom said, gently. + +Anna felt sorry and ashamed. She realized she had been rude to the squirrel. + +"I'm sorry, mom, I'm sorry, squirrel, I won't do it again," Anna said, sadly. + +Ben came over and hugged Anna. He forgave her for being mean to the squirrel. + +"It's okay, Anna, I still love you. But next time, be gentle and polite to the animals. They have feelings too, you know," Ben said, wisely. + +Anna nodded and smiled. She learned her lesson. She and Ben said goodbye to the squirrels and thanked them for their visit. + +They went home with their mom, happy and grateful for their adventure. +Anna and Ben like to play pretend. They have a big box of costumes and toys. Today, they want to pretend they are farmers. They put on hats and boots and aprons. They take some stuffed animals and make a barn. + +"Look, I have a cow and a pig," Anna says. "Moo, oink, oink." + +"I have a sheep and a goose," Ben says. "Baa, honk, honk." + +They make noises and feed their animals. They have fun. + +But then, the goose starts to flap its wings and peck at Ben. It is a naughty goose. It does not like to be in the barn. + +"Ow, ow, stop it, goose!" Ben cries. "You are hurting me!" + +Anna hears Ben and runs to help him. She grabs the goose and hugs it. She talks to it softly. + +"Shh, shh, goose, it's okay. We are your friends. We just want to play with you. Don't be mean. Be nice." + +The goose calms down and stops pecking. It snuggles with Anna. It likes her. + +"Thank you, Anna," Ben says. "You are a good farmer. And a good friend." + +Anna smiles and gives Ben the goose. "You're welcome, Ben. Here, you can hold the goose. Maybe it will like you too." + +Ben takes the goose and pets it gently. The goose honks softly. It does not peck anymore. It likes Ben too. + +Anna and Ben are happy. They have a cow, a pig, a sheep and a goose. They are farmers. They play pretend. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play outside. One day, they see a lot of fog. The fog is white and soft. It covers the trees and the houses. + +"Wow, look at the fog!" Tom says. "It is like a big blanket." + +"Let's go inside the fog," Sam says. "Maybe we can find something fun." + +They run into the fog. They laugh and shout. They cannot see very well. They bump into things. + +"Ouch!" Tom says. He bumps into a trash can. The trash can is ugly and smelly. It has flies and worms. + +"Yuck!" Sam says. He sees the trash can. He does not like it. He wants to go away. + +"Come on, Tom," Sam says. "Let's go back. The fog is not fun. It is scary and dirty." + +But Tom does not want to go back. He sees something shiny in the trash can. He reaches for it. It is a toy car. It is red and shiny. It has wheels and doors. + +"Look, Sam," Tom says. "I found a toy car. It is cool and pretty. Do you want to play with it?" + +He offers the toy car to Sam. He smiles. + +Sam looks at the toy car. He looks at Tom. He thinks. He does not like the trash can. He does not like the fog. But he likes Tom. He likes to play with Tom. + +"Okay, Tom," Sam says. "I will play with you. But only for a little bit. Then we go back. Okay?" + +"Okay, Sam," Tom says. "Thank you. You are a good friend." + +They play with the toy car. They make noises and stories. They forget about the fog. They have fun. They are happy. +Tom wanted to wear a hat. He liked hats. They were fun and warm and made him look cool. But his hair was too long. It stuck out from under his hat and tickled his ears and eyes. He needed a haircut. + +"Mom, can we go to the barber?" he asked. + +"Sure, Tom. We can go today. But you have to be fast. We have to catch the bus," Mom said. + +Tom and Mom walked to the bus stop. Tom saw a big red bus. It looked fast. He wanted to ride it. He ran to the bus. He forgot his hat. + +"Tom, wait! Your hat!" Mom shouted. + +But Tom did not hear her. He got on the bus. He sat by the window. He smiled. He was going to the barber. + +The bus drove away. Mom ran after it. She waved her arms. She yelled. But the bus did not stop. It was too fast. + +Mom was sad. She lost Tom. And his hat. + +Tom was happy. He saw many things. He saw cars and trees and shops and people. He saw a sign. It said "Barber". He got off the bus. He went to the barber. + +The barber was nice. He had scissors and a comb. He cut Tom's hair. He made it short and neat. He gave Tom a lollipop. + +"Thank you, barber," Tom said. + +"You're welcome, Tom. You look handsome. But where is your hat?" the barber asked. + +Tom looked around. He did not see his hat. He remembered. He left it at the bus stop. He felt sad. He liked his hat. + +"Don't worry, Tom. I have a hat for you. It's a special hat. It's a barber hat. Do you want to wear it?" the barber asked. + +Tom nodded. He liked the barber. He liked the barber hat. It was white and blue and striped. It fit him well. He smiled. + +"Thank you, barber. I like the hat. It's fun and warm and makes me look cool," Tom said. + +"You're welcome, Tom. You're a good boy. But where is your mom?" the barber asked. + +Tom looked around. He did not see Mom. He remembered. He left her at the bus stop. He felt bad. He loved Mom. + +"Don't worry, Tom. I have a phone for you. It's a special phone. It's a barber phone. Do you want to call your mom?" the barber asked. + +Tom nodded. He liked the phone. It was black and shiny and had buttons. He dialed Mom's number. He heard her voice. + +"Tom, Tom, where are you? I've been looking for you. I'm so worried. Are you okay?" Mom said. + +"Mom, Mom, I'm sorry. I'm at the barber. I got a haircut. And a hat. And a lollipop. And a phone. The barber is nice. He helped me. Can you come and get me?" Tom said. + +"Tom, I'm so glad you're safe. I'm so proud of you. You're brave and smart. I'm coming to get you. Stay with the barber. I love you," Mom said. + +"Mom, I love you too. I'm sorry I ran away. I wanted to ride the bus. It was fast. But I missed you. And my hat. Can we get it back?" Tom said. + +"Tom, we'll try to get your hat back. But if we can't, it's okay. You have a new hat. And a new haircut. And a new friend. The barber. He's a hero. He saved you. Can you thank him for me?" Mom said. + +"Mom, I already thanked him. He's the best. He gave me a hat. And a lollipop. And a phone. And a hug. He's my friend. Can we come back and see him?" Tom said. + +"Tom, of course we can. He's a wonderful person. He deserves a big thank you. And a big tip. And a big smile. I'm almost there. I can't wait to see you. And your hat. And your haircut. And your friend. The barber," Mom said. + +Tom hung up the phone. He gave it back to the barber. He hugged him. He smiled. + +"Mom is coming. She's happy. She's proud. She loves you. And me. And my hat. And my haircut. And my lollipop. And my phone. And you. The barber," Tom said. + +The barber smiled. He hugged Tom. He was happy. He was proud. He loved Tom. And his mom. And his hat. And his haircut. And his lollipop. And his phone. And +Lily liked to paint. She had many colors and brushes. She painted flowers and trees and animals. She was a painter. + +One day, she wanted to paint her dog, Spot. Spot was white and brown and very cute. Lily put some paint on a paper and called Spot. "Spot, come here! I want to paint you!" + +But Spot did not want to be painted. He ran away from Lily. He ran into the kitchen, where Mom was making a cake. He knocked over a bowl of flour and made a big mess. Mom was angry. "Spot, bad dog! Look what you did!" + +Lily followed Spot into the kitchen. She saw the flour and the paint and the cake. She was sorry. "Mom, I'm sorry. I wanted to paint Spot, but he ran away." + +Mom sighed. She was not angry at Lily. She knew Lily liked to paint. But she was angry at Spot. "Lily, it's okay. But Spot needs to learn to behave. He can't make a mess like this. He needs a bath." + +Lily had an idea. She took her paint and her paper and went to the bathroom. She filled the tub with water and soap. She called Spot. "Spot, come here! I want to give you a bath!" + +Spot did not like baths. He ran away from Lily. He ran into the living room, where Dad was reading a book. He jumped on the couch and made a big hole in the cushion. Dad was angry. "Spot, bad dog! Look what you did!" + +Lily followed Spot into the living room. She saw the hole and the paint and the book. She was sorry. "Dad, I'm sorry. I wanted to give Spot a bath, but he ran away." + +Dad sighed. He was not angry at Lily. He knew Lily wanted to help. But he was angry at Spot. "Lily, it's okay. But Spot needs to learn to behave. He can't ruin the couch like this. He needs a leash." + +Lily had another idea. She took her paint and her paper and went to the backyard. She found a leash and a collar. She called Spot. "Spot, come here! I want to put this on you!" + +Spot did not like leashes. He ran away from Lily. He ran into the street, where a car was coming fast. Lily was scared. "Spot, no! Come back!" + +Lily ran after Spot. She saw the car and the paint and the leash. She was brave. She grabbed Spot and pulled him out of the way. She rescued him. + +The car stopped. The driver got out. He was angry. "Hey, kid! Watch your dog! He almost caused an accident!" + +Lily was sorry. She hugged Spot. She said to the driver. "I'm sorry. I wanted to paint him, but he ran away. He made a mess in the kitchen and the living room. He needs a bath and a leash. But I love him. He is my dog." + +The driver looked at Lily and Spot. He saw the paint and the paper and the leash. He smiled. He was not angry anymore. He knew Lily loved Spot. He was a painter too. He said to Lily. "It's okay, kid. I understand. I like to paint too. But maybe you should paint something else. Like a picture of your dog. Here, let me show you." + +The driver took Lily's paint and paper. He painted a picture of Spot. He gave it to Lily. Lily liked it. She thanked the driver. She said to Spot. "Look, Spot! This is you! You are a good dog. I'm sorry I made you angry. Let's go home and clean up." + +Lily and Spot went home. They cleaned up the kitchen and the living room. They gave Spot a bath and a leash. They showed Mom and Dad the picture of Spot. Mom and Dad liked it. They praised Lily and Spot. They said to Lily. "You are a good painter. And you are a good rescuer. We are proud of you. We love you and Spot." + +Lily and Spot were happy. They hugged Mom and Dad. They said to them. "We love you too. And we are sorry for the mess. We will be good." + +The end. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play outside. They had a big oak tree in their yard, with many leaves and acorns. Sometimes they climbed the tree and pretended to be squirrels or birds. But their mom always told them to be careful and not go too high. + +One day, after lunch, mom said they had to nap. Tom and Lily did not want to nap. They wanted to play more. They sneaked out of their room and ran to the oak tree. They climbed and climbed, higher and higher, until they reached the top. They felt very happy and naughty. + +"Look, Lily, we can see the whole street from here!" Tom said. + +"Yes, and mom can't see us!" Lily said. + +But they did not know that mom had seen them from the window. She was very angry and worried. She grabbed a broom and went outside. She shouted at them to come down right now. + +Tom and Lily heard mom and got scared. They tried to climb down, but they were too high. They slipped and got stuck on a branch. They cried and called for mom to help them. + +Mom reached the oak tree and saw them hanging from the branch. She used the broom to push them gently to the ground. She hugged them and scolded them for being so naughty. She said they could have fallen and hurt themselves. She said they had to nap and not play in the tree again. + +Tom and Lily felt sorry and said they were sorry. They followed mom to their room and napped. They dreamed of the oak tree, but they did not want to climb it anymore. They learned their lesson. +Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play in the field near their house. The field has many flowers and grass and bugs. Sometimes they see a big cow or a horse or a sheep. + +One day, Tom and Anna go to the field in the morning. They see a big sun in the sky. The sun is yellow and bright and warm. Tom says, "Look, Anna, the sun is rising. It is a new day. We can have fun." + +Anna says, "Yes, Tom, the sun is rising. But look, there is a cloud. The cloud is gray and dark and cold. Maybe it will rain. We should go back home." + +Tom says, "No, Anna, the cloud is far away. It will not rain. We can stay in the field. We can run and jump and sing. We can make a flower crown. We can find a ladybug. We can have fun." + +Anna says, "No, Tom, the cloud is coming closer. It will rain. We should go back home. We can play inside. We can read a book. We can draw a picture. We can have fun." + +Tom says, "No, Anna, the cloud is not coming closer. It will not rain. We should stay in the field. We can do what we want. We can have fun." + +Anna says, "Tom, you are stubborn. You do not listen. You do not care. You are not a good friend." + +Tom says, "Anna, you are stubborn. You do not see. You do not try. You are not a good friend." + +Tom and Anna are angry. They do not talk. They do not play. They do not have fun. + +The cloud is coming closer. It is raining. Tom and Anna are wet. They are cold. They are sad. + +They look at each other. They say, "I am sorry. You are a good friend. Let us go back home. Let us have fun." + +They hold hands. They run to their house. They are happy. They are friends. +Lily and Tom were twins. They liked to play with their toys and share their snacks. But sometimes they fought over things. One day, their mom gave them a gift. It was a big box with a bow. They opened it and saw a shiny train set. + +"Wow, a train!" Lily said. She wanted to play with it first. She grabbed the engine and pulled it out of the box. + +"Hey, that's not fair!" Tom said. He wanted to play with it too. He grabbed the caboose and pulled it from Lily's hand. + +"Stop it, Tom!" Lily said. She pulled back the engine and tried to get the caboose. + +"Let go, Lily!" Tom said. He pulled harder and harder. + +Then, something bad happened. The train set broke. The engine and the caboose snapped apart. The tracks and the cars fell on the floor. Lily and Tom looked at the broken train. They felt sad and sorry. + +Mom heard the noise and came to see what happened. She saw the broken train and the grumpy twins. She was not happy. + +"What did you do?" Mom asked. "This was a gift for both of you. You should have played nicely and shared it. Now you have no train to play with." + +Lily and Tom felt ashamed. They knew they had been bad. They hugged each other and said sorry. + +"Sorry, Lily. I should have waited for my turn," Tom said. + +"Sorry, Tom. I should have let you play too," Lily said. + +They looked at Mom and said sorry to her too. + +"Sorry, Mom. We broke the gift. We won't fight again," they said. + +Mom smiled and hugged them. She was glad they said sorry. She said she loved them and forgave them. She said they could help her fix the train later. She said they could play with other toys for now. She said they should always be kind and share. + +Lily and Tom nodded and smiled. They felt happy and sorry. They thanked Mom and went to play with other toys. They played nicely and shared. They did not break anything else. They learned their lesson. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They had a basket full of toys and snacks. They liked to share and have fun. + +"Look, a slide!" Lily said. "Let's go down together!" + +"Okay!" Tom said. He took Lily's hand and they ran to the slide. They climbed up the ladder and sat on the top. + +"Ready, set, go!" Tom said. They slid down the slide and laughed. + +"That was fun!" Lily said. "Let's do it again!" + +They ran back to the slide, but they saw a big dog near their basket. The dog was sniffing and barking at their toys and snacks. + +"Hey, that's ours!" Tom said. He ran to the basket and tried to pull it away from the dog. But the dog was stronger and pulled back. + +"Help me, Lily!" Tom said. + +Lily ran to Tom and helped him pull the basket. They pulled and pulled, but the dog did not let go. + +"Go away, dog!" Lily said. "These are our things!" + +The dog growled and tugged harder. Tom and Lily felt scared. + +"Whoa, whoa, whoa!" A voice said. It was a man. He was the dog's owner. He came to the dog and grabbed its collar. + +"I'm sorry, kids. He's not a bad dog, he's just curious. He likes toys and snacks, too. But he should not take yours. Here, let me give you your basket back." + +The man took the basket from the dog and gave it to Tom and Lily. He checked the toys and snacks and saw that they were not damaged. + +"Are you okay?" He asked. "Did he hurt you?" + +"No, we're okay." Tom said. "Thank you for helping us." + +"Yes, thank you." Lily said. "You are very dependable." + +The man smiled. "You're welcome. You are very brave and kind. And you have a nice basket. Can I give you a treat for your trouble?" + +He took out a bag of cookies from his pocket and offered them to Tom and Lily. + +"Sure, thank you!" Tom and Lily said. They took a cookie each and smiled. + +The dog wagged its tail and licked its lips. It looked at the cookies and whined. + +"Okay, okay. You can have one, too." The man said. He gave a cookie to the dog and petted its head. + +"Good boy. Next time, don't bother the kids, okay?" + +The dog barked and nodded. + +Tom and Lily ate their cookies and shared them with the man and the dog. They became friends and played together in the park. They had a lot of fun. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with toys in the bathtub. They have a boat, a duck, a fish and a frog. They make the toys swim and splash in the water. + +One day, Mom says, "It is time to get out of the bathtub. You have to pay for the water you use." Anna and Ben do not understand. They ask, "What is pay? How do we pay for water?" + +Mom smiles and says, "Pay means to give something back. You can pay for water by helping me dry the dishes, or by putting your toys away, or by giving me a hug and a kiss." + +Anna and Ben think this is funny. They say, "We like to pay for water. We can do all those things. But can we stay in the bathtub a little longer?" + +Mom laughs and says, "Okay, you can stay for five more minutes. But then you have to pay for water and get ready for bed." + +Anna and Ben are happy. They say, "Thank you, Mom. You are the best. We love you." They hug and kiss Mom and then play with their toys some more. They have fun in the bathtub. +Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. They had a big yard with a swing, a slide and a sandbox. One day, they saw a new family moving into the house next door. They had a big truck with many boxes and a dog. + +"Let's go say hello," Anna said. She was polite and friendly. + +"OK," Ben said. He was shy and quiet. + +They ran to the fence and waved at the new family. The dog barked and wagged its tail. The new family waved back and smiled. + +"Hi, we are Anna and Ben. We live here," Anna said. + +"Hi, we are Lily and Sam. We are moving here," Lily said. She was a girl with curly hair and glasses. + +"This is Max. He is our dog," Sam said. He was a boy with short hair and freckles. + +"Can we play with you?" Anna asked. + +"Sure, we can play after we unpack," Lily said. + +"Can we pet your dog?" Ben asked. + +"Sure, he is friendly, but be careful. He likes to jump," Sam said. + +Anna and Ben petted Max. He licked their faces and made them laugh. They liked Max. + +They did not see the ball on the roof. It was red and round and shiny. It was Lily and Sam's favorite ball. They had thrown it too high and it got stuck on the roof. They were sad. + +Later, Anna and Ben went back to their yard. They played on the swing and the slide. They saw Max running around the new house. He was looking for his ball. + +"Where is your ball, Max?" Anna asked. + +Max barked and looked at the roof. He saw the ball. He wanted the ball. + +He ran to the back of the house. He saw a ladder leaning against the wall. He had an idea. + +He climbed the ladder. He was brave and clever. He reached the roof. He saw the ball. He was happy. + +He grabbed the ball with his mouth. He wagged his tail. He wanted to show Lily and Sam. + +He tried to go down the ladder. He was clumsy and silly. He slipped and fell. He dropped the ball. He was scared. + +Anna and Ben heard a loud thud. They ran to the back of the house. They saw Max on the ground. He was whimpering and holding his paw. He was hurt. + +They saw the ball next to him. It was red and round and shiny. It was Lily and Sam's ball. + +They picked up the ball. They ran to the fence. They saw Lily and Sam coming out of the house. They looked worried. + +"Are you OK, Max?" Lily asked. + +"We found your ball. Max got it from the roof. He fell and hurt his paw. We are sorry," Anna said. + +"Thank you for finding our ball. Max was naughty. He should not have climbed the ladder. We are sorry, too," Sam said. + +They hugged Anna and Ben. They hugged Max. They were kind and grateful. + +They took Max to the vet. He had a sprain. He had to wear a bandage. He was OK. + +They came back to the house. They invited Anna and Ben to play. They played with the ball. They played with Max. They had fun. + +They became friends. They waved at each other every day. They were happy. +Anna and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park with their kites. One day, they found a big hill in the park. They ran up the hill with their kites. + +"Look, Ben, my kite is red and yellow. It is so pretty!" Anna said. + +"My kite is blue and green. It is so fast!" Ben said. + +They let go of their kites and watched them soar in the sky. They felt happy and free. + +But then, a strong wind came. It blew their kites away. Anna and Ben tried to catch them, but they were too far. They felt sad and lost. + +"Where are our kites, Anna?" Ben asked. + +"I don't know, Ben. Maybe they are in the clouds." Anna said. + +They walked down the hill, looking for their kites. But they did not see them. They only saw empty trees and grass. + +They were almost at the park gate, when they heard a voice. + +"Hey, kids, are you looking for these?" The voice said. + +They turned around and saw a man holding their kites. He had a big smile on his face. + +"We found them on the other side of the park. They were tangled in a fence. We fixed them for you." The man said. + +He handed them their kites. Anna and Ben were so happy. They thanked the man and his friend. + +"Wow, you are so nice. Thank you so much!" Anna said. + +"Yes, thank you. You made our day!" Ben said. + +They hugged their kites and ran back to the hill. They let go of their kites again and watched them soar in the sky. They felt happy and free again. They learned that sometimes a bad trip can end with a good surprise. +Anna was a modest girl who liked to help her mom and dad. She always said please and thank you, and shared her toys with her brother. She also loved to listen to stories before she went to sleep. + +One night, her mom told her a story about angels. She said angels were kind and good, and they watched over people who were sleeping. They had wings and halos, and they sang beautiful songs. + +"Mom, can I see an angel?" Anna asked. + +"Maybe, if you are very quiet and close your eyes," her mom said. "But you have to sleep first, and then maybe you will dream of an angel." + +Anna nodded and hugged her mom. She closed her eyes and tried to sleep. She wondered what an angel looked like and sounded like. + +As she was falling asleep, she heard a soft voice in her ear. It said, "Hello, Anna. I am your angel. I am here to keep you safe and happy. You are a very modest and sweet girl, and I am proud of you. Do you want to hear a song?" + +Anna opened her eyes and saw a bright light. She saw a smiling face and a pair of wings. She felt warm and peaceful. + +"Yes, please," she whispered. + +The angel sang a gentle lullaby, and Anna felt her eyelids getting heavy. She smiled and cuddled with her angel. She fell asleep and had a wonderful dream. +Lily and Tom were playing with their toys in the living room. Lily had a doll and Tom had a car. They were having fun, but they also made a lot of mess. Toys were everywhere on the floor, on the sofa, on the table. + +"Look, Lily, I can make my car go fast!" Tom said, as he pushed his car across the carpet. + +"Be careful, Tom, you might break something!" Lily said, as she hugged her doll. + +But Tom did not listen. He made his car go faster and faster, until it hit a lamp. The lamp fell down and broke with a loud noise. + +"Oh no!" Tom said, as he saw the pieces of the lamp. "Mom will be angry!" + +Lily and Tom heard the door open. It was their mom. She had returned from the store. She saw the mess and the broken lamp. She was not happy. + +"What happened here?" she asked, as she looked at Lily and Tom. + +Tom felt bad. He knew he was clumsy. He wanted to say sorry, but he was afraid. + +Lily saw that Tom was scared. She wanted to help him. She said to their mom: + +"Mom, it was me. I was playing with the car and I hit the lamp. I'm sorry, mom. I didn't mean to." + +Their mom looked at Lily. She knew that Lily was lying. She knew that Tom was the clumsy one. But she also saw that Lily was trying to be nice to Tom. She felt proud of Lily. + +She said to Lily: + +"Lily, thank you for being honest. But I know that it was not you. It was Tom. Tom, is that true?" + +Tom nodded. He felt ashamed. He said to their mom: + +"Yes, mom, it was me. I'm sorry, mom. I was playing too rough. I won't do it again." + +Their mom said to Tom: + +"Tom, I'm glad that you told the truth. But you have to be more careful. You could have hurt yourself or Lily. And you have to respect our things. Do you understand?" + +Tom nodded. He said to their mom: + +"Yes, mom, I understand. I'm sorry, mom." + +Their mom said to Lily and Tom: + +"OK, then. I forgive you. But you have to clean up this mess. And you have to help me buy a new lamp. Can you do that?" + +Lily and Tom nodded. They said to their mom: + +"Yes, mom, we can do that." + +Their mom smiled. She said to Lily and Tom: + +"Good. I love you, Lily and Tom. Now, let's go and clean up." +Tim and Sam were best friends. They liked to play with cars, balls and books. One day, they found a big book in the library. It had many pictures of animals. They opened the book and saw a fierce lion. It had sharp teeth and a long mane. + +"Wow, look at the lion!" Tim said. "He is so big and strong. I want to be like him." + +Sam was scared of the lion. He did not like his roar and his claws. He said, "No, Tim, the lion is not nice. He can hurt us. I want to be like the bunny. He is soft and cute." + +Tim laughed at Sam. He said, "The bunny is silly and weak. The lion is brave and smart. I will show you how to be a lion. Watch me." + +Tim put the book on the floor and stood on it. He made a loud roar and pretended to have a mane. He said, "I am the king of the jungle. I can do anything I want. Who wants to play with me?" + +Sam did not want to play with Tim. He thought Tim was being mean and rude. He said, "I don't want to play with you, Tim. You are not a lion. You are a bully. You are hurting the book. The book is our friend. We should be nice to it." + +Tim did not listen to Sam. He said, "You are a baby, Sam. You are afraid of everything. You are not my friend. Go away." + +Sam felt sad and angry. He said, "Fine, I will go away. But I will take the book with me. It is mine now. You don't deserve it." + +Sam tried to grab the book from the floor. But Tim was faster. He pushed Sam away and held the book tight. He said, "No, the book is mine. I found it first. You can't have it." + +They both pulled the book hard. They did not see the librarian coming. She was not happy. She said, "Stop it, boys. What are you doing? You are tearing the book. That is very bad. You have to share the book. And you have to be gentle with it. It is not a toy. It is a treasure." + +She took the book from them and looked at the damage. She said, "Look what you did. You ripped the pages. You bent the cover. You ruined the book. How could you?" + +Tim and Sam felt ashamed. They knew they did wrong. They said, "We are sorry, miss. We were playing. We did not mean to hurt the book." + +The librarian said, "Playing is good. But you have to play nicely. You have to respect the book. And you have to respect each other. You are friends, right?" + +Tim and Sam nodded. They said, "Yes, miss. We are friends. We like each other. We don't want to fight." + +The librarian said, "That's good. Then you should hug and make up. And you should say sorry to the book. And you should promise to take care of it. And you should read it together. And you should learn from it. It has many stories to tell. Stories about lions and bunnies and other animals. Stories about friendship and kindness and courage. Do you want to hear them?" + +Tim and Sam said, "Yes, miss. We do. We love stories. And we love books. And we love each other." + +They hugged and said sorry to the book. They said sorry to the librarian. They said sorry to each other. They promised to be good. They sat down and opened the book. They saw the fierce lion and the soft bunny. They smiled and said, "They are friends, too." +Tom likes to play with his train. He has a big track that goes around his room. He can make the train go fast or slow, and make it stop at the station. He likes to pretend he is the driver and say "choo choo" and "all aboard". + +One day, his friend Lily comes to visit. She wants to play with the train too. She asks Tom, "Can I play with your train, please?" Tom says, "Yes, you can. But you have to be careful. The track is very old and sometimes it breaks. You have to fix it if it breaks." + +They play with the train for a while. They take turns to be the driver and the passenger. They have fun. But then, the train stops. They look at the track and see that it is broken. There is a big gap in the track. The train cannot go over the gap. + +Lily says, "Oh no, the track is broken. What can we do?" Tom says, "Don't worry, I know how to fix it. We need some tape and some scissors. Come, I will show you." He takes Lily to his closet, where he keeps his tape and scissors. He says, "We have to cut some tape and stick it on the track. Then the track will be open again and the train can go." + +They cut some tape and stick it on the track. They make sure the tape is strong and smooth. They test the track with the train. The train goes over the tape and does not stop. The track is open again. They clap their hands and cheer. They say, "We did it! We fixed the track! The train can go!" They hug each other and smile. They continue to play with the train and have more fun. They are happy. +Tom and Anna were curious twins who liked to explore. One day, they found a big bag in the closet. It had a zip that was shiny and smooth. They wanted to see what was inside. + +"Let's open it!" said Tom. + +"OK, but be careful!" said Anna. + +They pulled the zip and opened the bag. Inside, they saw many things. There were clothes, books, toys, and a small box. They were excited and started to search the bag. + +"Look, a doll!" said Anna, picking up a toy. + +"Look, a car!" said Tom, grabbing a toy. + +They played with the toys and forgot about the box. But the box was not a toy. It was a trap. It had a button that made a loud noise. And the noise was a signal for a bad man. + +The bad man was hiding outside. He heard the noise and smiled. He had put the bag in the closet to lure the twins. He wanted to take them away and sell them. He ran to the door and opened it. + +"Hello, little ones!" he said, with a mean voice. "I have a surprise for you!" + +He grabbed Tom and Anna and put them in a sack. They screamed and cried, but no one heard them. The bad man zipped the sack and ran away. He had stolen the twins. + +The end. +Lily and Ben love to play with their toy trains. They have many trains of different colors and sizes. They like to make them go fast on the tracks and make noises like chugga-chugga-choo-choo. + +One day, they find a new train in the toy box. It is big and shiny and has a red engine. They are very happy and want to play with it. But they have a problem. They both want to hold the engine and make it go. + +They start to argue and pull the engine. They say, "It's mine, it's mine!" They are not nice to each other. They make each other sad and angry. + +Mom hears them and comes to see what is wrong. She sees them fighting over the engine. She says, "Stop, stop! You are not sharing. You are not being good friends. Why don't you discuss and take turns?" + +Lily and Ben look at Mom. They don't know what discuss means. Mom explains, "Discuss means to talk and listen. You can tell each other what you want and why. You can also listen to what the other wants and why. Then you can find a way to play together and have fun." + +Lily and Ben think about what Mom says. They decide to try to discuss. Lily says, "I want to hold the engine because it is red and red is my favorite color." Ben says, "I want to hold the engine because it is big and big trains are faster." They listen to each other. They understand each other. + +They think of a solution. They say, "Why don't we take turns? We can each hold the engine for a little while and then switch. That way we can both enjoy the red and big engine." They agree and smile. They are happy and proud. + +Mom is happy and proud too. She says, "Good job, Lily and Ben! You discussed and shared. You are good friends. You can play with the engine together. And as a reward, I have a surprise for you. I made some tasty cookies for you. Do you want some?" + +Lily and Ben say, "Yes, please!" They run to the kitchen and see the cookies. They are chocolate chip cookies, their favorite. They say, "Thank you, Mom! You are the best!" They hug Mom and eat the cookies. They are delicious. + +They finish the cookies and go back to the toy room. They play with the engine and the other trains. They have a lot of fun. They are happy. +Anna was a little girl who liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite one was Lily. Lily had long hair, a pink dress and a smile on her face. Anna liked to pretend that Lily was her best friend and they did everything together. + +One day, Anna decided to invite Lily to have a tea party with her. She set up a small table and two chairs in her room. She brought some cups, plates and cookies from the kitchen. She poured some water into the cups and pretended it was tea. She gave one cup and one plate to Lily and said, "Here you go, Lily. This is for you. Do you like tea and cookies?" + +But Lily did not answer. Anna waited for a while, but Lily still did not say anything. Anna felt sad and confused. She wondered why Lily did not talk to her. She asked, "Lily, are you mad at me? Did I do something wrong? Please talk to me, Lily." + +But Lily did not answer. Anna looked at Lily's face and noticed something. Lily had a small bandage on her ear. Anna remembered that Lily had been to the doctor yesterday. She asked, "Lily, what happened to your ear? Did the doctor give you medicine?" + +But Lily did not answer. Anna realized that Lily could not hear her. Lily was deaf. Anna felt sorry for Lily. She wanted to make her happy. She thought of an idea. She took Lily's hand and said, "Lily, I have something to show you. Come with me." + +Anna led Lily to the window. She pointed at the sky and said, "Look, Lily. Do you see the birds? They are singing for you. Do you see the flowers? They are smiling for you. Do you see the sun? It is shining for you. Lily, you are my friend. I love you." + +Lily looked at the sky, the birds, the flowers and the sun. She saw Anna's face and felt her hand. She smiled and hugged Anna. She said, "Thank you, Anna. You are my friend. I love you too." +Lily and Sam were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and laugh. They saw some flowers and ran to smell them. They did not see the bee that was on one of the flowers. + +"Ow!" Lily cried. "Something bit me!" She held her hand and saw a red spot. It hurt a lot. + +Sam looked at her hand and saw the bee. He was scared of bees. He ran to get help. He saw his mom arrive in the car. He waved and shouted. + +"Mom, mom, Lily got bit by a bee! She is hurt!" + +His mom got out of the car and ran to Lily. She saw the bee and the red spot. She was worried. She picked up Lily and took her to the car. + +"Sam, come with me. We have to go to the doctor. Lily might be allergic to bees. She might get very sick." + +Sam followed his mom and got in the car. He was sad and scared. He wanted Lily to be okay. He hugged her and said sorry. + +"It's not your fault, Sam. You are a good brother. Don't worry, the doctor will help me." + +But Lily was wrong. The doctor could not help her. She was allergic to bees. She got very sick. She had to stay in the hospital. She did not get better. She died. Sam and his mom were very sad. They missed Lily. They wished the bee had never arrived. +Lily and Ben were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big hill. They wanted to climb to the top. + +"Let's go, Lily!" Ben said. "It will be fun!" + +"OK, Ben," Lily said. "I trust you." + +They held hands and started to climb. The hill was steep and slippery. They had to be careful. They saw some flowers and rocks on the way. They also saw a big tree. + +"Look, Lily!" Ben said. "There is a nest in the tree. Maybe there are eggs or birds inside. Let's go and see!" + +"But Ben, we are almost at the top," Lily said. "We should not go away from the path." + +"Don't worry, Lily," Ben said. "It will be quick. Come on, it will be fun!" + +Lily did not want to go, but she followed Ben. She trusted him. They climbed the tree and reached the nest. It was big and soft. They saw four eggs inside. They were blue and speckled. + +"Wow, Ben!" Lily said. "They are so pretty!" + +"Let's take one, Lily," Ben said. "It will be a good souvenir. Maybe it is delicious too." + +"No, Ben!" Lily said. "That is not nice. The eggs belong to the birds. They will be sad if we take one. We should leave them alone." + +But Ben did not listen. He reached for an egg and grabbed it. He smiled and said, "Look, Lily, I have an egg!" + +Suddenly, they heard a loud screech. They looked up and saw a big hawk flying towards them. It was angry and fierce. It had sharp claws and a hooked beak. It was the mother of the eggs. + +"Ben, look out!" Lily screamed. "It is coming for us!" + +But it was too late. The hawk swooped down and attacked Ben. It snatched the egg from his hand and scratched his face. Ben dropped the egg and fell from the tree. He landed on the ground with a thud. He did not move. + +Lily was scared and sad. She cried and called for help. She wished she had not followed Ben. She wished they had stayed on the path. She wished they had reached the top. +Lily and Ben were playing in their room. They had many toys, but they liked to make their own games. Lily had a big box and some paper. She cut the paper into squares and drew pictures on them. She made a calendar. + +"Look, Ben, I made a calendar!" Lily said. "It has all the days and months. And it has a surprise!" + +Ben looked at the calendar. He saw that Lily had drawn flowers, animals, stars and other things on the paper squares. He liked the pictures, but he wanted to know the surprise. + +"What is the surprise, Lily?" Ben asked. + +Lily smiled and pointed to the last square. It was bigger than the others and had a question mark on it. "This is the surprise, Ben. It is for the last day of the year. Do you know what that day is?" + +Ben thought for a moment. He remembered that his mom and dad had told him about a special day when they stayed up late and watched fireworks. "Is it New Year's Eve?" Ben guessed. + +"Yes, Ben, it is New Year's Eve!" Lily said. "And do you know what the surprise is?" + +Ben shook his head. He was curious. + +Lily lifted the big square and revealed what was behind it. It was a picture of their family, smiling and hugging. Lily had drawn them with crayons and glitter. "The surprise is us, Ben! We are the best thing of the year!" + +Ben gasped. He thought the picture was very cool and beautiful. He hugged Lily and thanked her for the calendar. "You are right, Lily. We are the best thing of the year. And you are the best sister ever!" +Tom and Lily were friends who liked to play in the snow. They made a big igloo with blocks of snow and a hole for the door. They said it was their house and they had fun inside. + +One day, a big dog came to the igloo. He smelled the snow and the children. He wanted to play too. He pushed his nose into the hole and barked. Tom and Lily were scared. They said, "Go away, dog! This is our house!" + +But the dog did not go away. He was strong and curious. He pushed harder and harder. The igloo started to crack and fall. Tom and Lily cried. They said, "Stop, dog! You are breaking our house!" + +But the dog did not stop. He broke the igloo and made a big mess. Tom and Lily ran out of the snow and into their real house. They were cold and sad. They said, "Bad dog! You ruined our house!" + +The dog did not understand. He thought he was playing. He wagged his tail and licked the snow. He was not thoughtful. He did not know how to be a good friend. +Tom was a boy who did not like to work. He always wanted to play with his toys or watch TV. He did not like to help his mom and dad with the chores. He did not like to do his homework or practice his ABCs. He always said, "Work is hard and boring. Play is fun and easy." + +One day, Tom got sick. He had a fever and a sore throat. He felt very bad. His mom took him to the doctor. The doctor said, "Tom, you have an infection. You need to take this pill every day for a week. It will make you better. But you have to work hard to swallow it. It is very big and sour. Do you think you can do it?" + +Tom looked at the pill. It was big and white. He did not want to take it. He said, "No, I can't do it. It is too hard and sour. I don't want to work. I want to play." He cried and kicked and threw a tantrum. + +His mom said, "Tom, you have to take the pill. It is good for you. It will help you get well. If you don't take it, you will feel worse and worse. You will not be able to play at all. You will have to stay in bed and miss all the fun. Is that what you want?" + +Tom thought about it. He did not want to miss all the fun. He did not want to stay in bed. He wanted to get well and play with his friends. He said, "No, I don't want that. I want to get well and play. But the pill is so hard and sour. How can I take it?" + +His mom said, "You can do it, Tom. You are a brave and strong boy. You can work hard to swallow the pill. You can make a funny face and drink some water. You can pretend it is a candy or a rocket. You can do anything you set your mind to. I will help you and cheer you on. Are you ready to try?" + +Tom nodded. He took a deep breath. He put the pill in his mouth. He made a funny face. He drank some water. He pretended it was a candy or a rocket. He swallowed the pill. He did it! He felt proud of himself. He said, "I did it, mom! I took the pill! It was hard and sour, but I worked hard and I did it!" + +His mom hugged him and said, "I'm so proud of you, Tom! You did a great job! You worked hard and you took the pill. You are a good boy. You will get better soon. And you know what? Work is not always hard and boring. Sometimes work is good and rewarding. Sometimes work can help you achieve your goals and dreams. Sometimes work can make you happy and healthy. Do you understand?" + +Tom smiled and said, "Yes, mom, I understand. Work can be good and rewarding. Work can help me achieve my goals and dreams. Work can make me happy and healthy. I will try to work harder from now on. I will help you and dad with the chores. I will do my homework and practice my ABCs. I will still play, but I will also work. Thank you, mom, for teaching me this lesson." + +His mom kissed him and said, "You're welcome, Tom. I love you very much. Now, let's go and play for a while. You deserve it. But remember, tomorrow you have to take another pill. And the next day, and the next day, until you finish the week. Can you do it?" + +Tom said, "Yes, mom, I can do it. I can work hard and take the pill. It is good for me. It will make me better. And it will make me stronger. I can do anything I set my mind to. Right, mom?" + +His mom said, "Right, Tom. You can do anything you set your mind to. Now, let's go and have some fun." +Lily was a kid who liked to play outside. She had a ball, a bike and a doll. She liked to run, ride and hug. One day, she saw a big dog near her house. The dog was black and brown and had sharp teeth. Lily was fearful of the dog. She wanted to go back inside. + +"Mommy, mommy, there is a dog outside!" she cried. She ran to the door, but it was locked. She had forgotten her key. She looked for another way in, but the dog followed her. It barked and growled. Lily was very scared. + +She saw a window that was open. She tried to climb up, but it was too high. She looked for something to stand on. She found a box. She pushed the box to the window. She stepped on the box, but it was not stable. She stumbled and fell. The box broke. The dog came closer. + +"Help, help, someone help me!" she shouted. She hoped someone would hear her. She closed her eyes and waited for the dog to bite her. + +But then, she heard another voice. It was her daddy. He had come home from work. He saw the dog and Lily. He ran to them. He picked up Lily and hugged her. He shooed away the dog. He carried Lily inside. He gave her a kiss and a cookie. + +"Lily, are you okay? What happened?" he asked. + +"Daddy, I was so fearful. There was a big dog outside. It chased me and barked at me. I tried to get in, but I stumbled and fell. I thought it would hurt me. But you came and saved me. Thank you, daddy. I love you," she said. + +"I love you too, Lily. I'm sorry you were fearful. The dog was not nice. But you are brave. You tried to get in. You shouted for help. You are my smart and strong kid. Don't worry, the dog is gone. You are safe with me," he said. + +He hugged her again and smiled. Lily smiled too. She was happy. She had her daddy, her ball, her bike and her doll. She was not fearful anymore. She was ready to play again. +Tom and Lily liked to play by the harbor. They saw big boats and small boats, and sometimes they saw fish and birds. One day, they found a shiny thing in the sand. It was round and had a hole in the middle. Tom said it was a ring. Lily said it was a donut. + +They decided to keep it and share it. They put it on their finger and pretended to be kings and queens. They had fun and laughed a lot. But then, a man came and saw them. He was angry and shouted at them. He said the shiny thing was his. He said it was a washer and he needed it for his boat. He took it from them and walked away. + +Tom and Lily felt embarrassed. They did not know what a washer was. They thought they had found something nice. They looked at each other and felt sad. They did not want to play by the harbor anymore. They went home and hugged their mom. She said it was okay and gave them a cookie. She said they could find other things to play with. She said she loved them. Tom and Lily felt better and smiled. They said they loved her too. They learned a new word and a new thing. They still liked to play by the harbor, but they did not keep things that were not theirs. +Tim and Kim were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big red carpet that they could roll on and pretend to fly. They always shared the carpet and had fun together. + +One day, a new boy named Sam came to their house. He was their cousin who lived far away. He wanted to play with them, but he did not have any toys of his own. He saw the red carpet and liked it very much. He asked Tim and Kim if he could play with it. + +Tim and Kim did not want to give the carpet to Sam. They said it was theirs and they did not have to share. They told Sam to go away and leave them alone. Sam felt sad and helpless. He did not have any friends or toys. + +Mom saw what happened and was not happy. She told Tim and Kim that they were being selfish and mean. She said that they should give the carpet to Sam and let him play with them. She said that sharing was caring and that they would have more fun if they were kind. + +Tim and Kim realized that they were wrong. They felt sorry for Sam and wanted to make him happy. They gave the carpet to Sam and invited him to join them. Sam was very happy and thanked them. They all played with the carpet and had fun together. + +The moral of the story is: We should share our things with others and be kind to them. Sharing makes us and others happy. +Tom was thirsty. He wanted some juice. He saw a big bottle of juice on the table. He tried to reach it, but it was too high. He got a chair and climbed on it. He grabbed the bottle of juice. He was happy. + +But the bottle was heavy. Tom could not hold it well. He started to struggle. He dropped the bottle. The bottle broke. The juice spilled everywhere. The glass cut Tom's hand. He cried. He was hurt and sad. + +Mom heard Tom's cry. She ran to the kitchen. She saw the mess. She saw Tom's blood. She was angry and scared. She yelled at Tom. She said he was naughty and careless. She said he should not touch the juice. She said he should ask for help. She took Tom to the bathroom. She cleaned his wound. She put a bandage on it. She said he would be okay. + +Tom felt sorry. He wished he had not touched the juice. He wished he had asked for help. He wished he had a useful thing to do. He wished Mom was not angry. He wished he had some juice. He was thirsty. He was unhappy. The end. +Lily was a child who had to work very hard. She had to get up early, sweep the floor, wash the dishes, and help her mother with the baby. She did not have time to play, or read, or draw. She was very miserable. + +One day, she saw a big truck outside her house. It had many toys and books and crayons inside. She wished she could have some of them. She ran to the truck and asked the man if she could have one toy. The man said no. He said the toys were for other children who had no work and no money. He said Lily had to work and earn money to buy toys. + +Lily felt very sad. She went back to her house and cried. She did not want to work anymore. She wanted to have fun and learn new things. She wanted to be like other children. + +The next day, she had an idea. She took some of the dishes she had washed and put them in a basket. She went to the street and tried to sell them to people. She said they were very nice and shiny and cheap. Some people bought them and gave her some money. She was very happy. + +She ran to the truck and gave the money to the man. She asked him if she could have one toy now. The man smiled and said yes. He said she had worked hard and deserved a reward. He let her choose any toy she wanted. She picked a big doll with a pink dress and a hat. She hugged the doll and thanked the man. + +She went back to her house and showed the doll to her mother. Her mother was very surprised and proud. She said Lily was a smart and brave child. She said she did not have to work so hard anymore. She said she could play and read and draw sometimes. She said she loved her very much. + +Lily was very happy. She played with her doll and her mother and the baby. She felt like other children. She was not miserable anymore. +Lily liked to design things with her crayons and paper. She liked to make different shapes and colors and textures. She liked to draw soft things, like fur and feathers, and hard things, like rocks and bricks. She liked to draw bright things, like sun and stars, and dark things, like night and shadows. + +One day, she wanted to show her design to her friend Tom. She took her paper and crayons and went to his house. She knocked on the door and Tom opened it. He smiled and said, "Hi, Lily. What do you have?" + +Lily said, "I have a design for you. Look, it is a monster. It has big teeth and claws and horns. It has a dark texture, like coal and dirt. It is scary and mean. Do you like it?" + +Tom looked at the design and frowned. He did not like it. He said, "No, I don't like it. It is ugly and bad. It makes me feel afraid. I don't want it. Go away, Lily. You are not my friend." + +Lily felt sad and angry. She said, "But I worked hard on it. I thought you would like it. It is my design. You are mean, Tom. You are not my friend, either." + +She tore the paper in half and threw it on the ground. She ran away, crying. She did not want to design anything anymore. She did not want to play with Tom anymore. She did not have any friends anymore. She was alone and unhappy. +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and look for bugs. Lily found a brown worm and showed it to Ben. + +"Look, Ben, a worm!" Lily said. + +"Wow, can I touch it?" Ben asked. + +Lily nodded and gave him the worm. Ben felt the worm wriggle in his hand. He smiled and put it back in the dirt. + +"Let's find more worms!" Ben said. + +They dug some more and found two more worms. They put them in a small bucket. They were happy. + +But then, Lily felt a tickle in her nose. She rubbed it with her hand, but it did not help. She felt another tickle and then she sneezed. + +"Achoo!"

"I found it first, so I win!" + +"No, you didn't!" Lily said. "I saw it at the same time as you, so it's a tie!" + +They argued for a while, but the owl did not care.

One day, Tom had an idea. + +"Let's invite Sam to play with us," he said. "He is strong and can help us dig a hole for a new herb." + +Lily agreed and they ran to Sam's house. Sam was happy to see them and followed them to the garden. They gave him a shovel and showed him where to dig. + +"Be careful not to hurt the other herbs," Lily said. "They are nice and make the garden smell good." + +But Sam did not listen. He dug too fast and too hard. He broke the shovel and tore up the herbs.

She had a magic sword. She took the sword and fought the dragon. She said, 'You cannot take me away. You are not nice. You have to be nice to others.' She hit the dragon with the sword and made him run away." + +Ben says, "Wow, that was a good story. The princess was very brave and smart. She taught the dragon a lesson." Lily says, "Thank you, Ben. I like to make stories. Stories are fun and can teach us things. Do you want to make a story too?" + +Ben says, "Yes, I do. Let me think of a story. How about a story about a pirate and a treasure?"
