She does not see them in the house. She does not see them in the yard. She is scared. She calls their names. She does not hear them. She calls the police. She cries. + +Tim and Kim do not hear Mom. They do not hear the police. They do not see the car. The car is fast. The car does not stop. The car hits Tim and Kim. Tim and Kim are hurt. They scream. They bleed. They do not play anymore. +Lily and Ben went to the zoo with Mom and Dad. They saw many animals, like monkeys, lions, and giraffes. Lily liked the monkeys best, because they made funny noises and jumped on the trees. Ben liked the lions best, because they had big teeth and roared loud. + +Then they came to the pond, where the alligators lived. The alligators were big and green, with long tails and sharp claws. They lay still on the rocks or in the water, and opened their mouths wide. Lily and Ben were a little scared of the alligators, but also curious. + +"Can we feed them, Mom?" Ben asked. + +"No, honey, we can't. They are not pets, they are wild animals. They might bite you if you get too close. We can only look at them from a distance," Mom said. + +"Look, there is a black one!" Lily pointed. "He is different from the others. Why is he black, Dad?" + +Dad looked at the black alligator, and smiled. "He is not really black, he is just very dirty. He likes to roll in the mud, to keep cool and hide from the sun. He is a clever alligator, don't you think?" + +Lily and Ben nodded. They thought the black alligator was clever and cool. They wanted to say hello to him, but they knew they had to be careful. So they waved their hands from afar, and said, "Hi, black alligator! You are very clever and cool! Thank you for letting us see you!" + +The black alligator heard them, and blinked his eyes. He seemed to smile a little, and said, "You're welcome, little humans. You are very nice and polite. Thank you for not feeding me or bothering me. Have a good day at the zoo!" +Tim and Mia were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big hill with many rocks and dirt. They wanted to climb it and see what was on the other side. + +"Let's go, Tim!" Mia said. "It looks fun!" + +"Wait, Mia," Tim said. "We need to put on our shoes. The rocks can hurt our feet." + +Mia did not want to put on her shoes. She wanted to climb the hill now. She had black shoes with pink laces. She did not like them. They were too tight and too hot. + +"No, Tim," Mia said. "I don't need shoes. I'm fast and strong. You can put on your shoes. I'll go first." + +Tim shook his head. He tried to warn Mia. He said, "Mia, please listen. The rocks are sharp and hard. They can cut your feet and make them bleed. You need shoes to protect your feet. Please, Mia, put on your shoes." + +But Mia did not listen. She ran to the hill and started to climb. She did not see the rocks. She only saw the top of the hill. She wanted to get there before Tim. + +Tim put on his shoes. He had blue shoes with white stars. He liked them. They were soft and cool. He followed Mia to the hill. He hoped she would be okay. + +But Mia was not okay. She stepped on a big rock. It was black and pointy. It pierced her foot. She cried out in pain. She fell down the hill. She scraped her knees and elbows. She was bleeding and dirty. + +Tim ran to Mia. He saw her foot. It had a hole in it. He saw her tears. He felt sorry for her. He said, "Mia, I'm sorry. I tried to warn you. You should have worn your shoes. They would have saved your foot. Are you okay?" + +Mia looked at Tim. She saw his shoes. They were blue and white. They were not hurt. She wished she had worn her shoes. She said, "Tim, you were right. I should have listened. I was silly and stubborn. I'm sorry. My foot hurts a lot. Can you help me?" + +Tim nodded. He took off his shoes. He gave one to Mia. He said, "Here, Mia. You can use my shoe. It will cover your foot. It will stop the bleeding. It will make you feel better. Come on, Mia. Let's go home. We can get a band-aid and a hug." + +Mia smiled. She took Tim's shoe. She put it on her foot. It felt better. She said, "Thank you, Tim. You are a good friend. I'm sorry I did not warn you. I will wear my shoes next time. Let's go home. I need a band-aid and a hug." + +Tim and Mia held hands. They walked home. They learned a lesson. They always wore their shoes. They never climbed the hill again. +Tom and Lily went to the library with Mom. They liked to look at books with pictures and words. Mom said they could borrow some books to read at home. + +But on the way out, Tom tripped on the stairs and fell down. He scraped his knee and it was bleeding. He cried and said, "Ow, ow, ow! It hurts!" + +Mom hugged him and said, "Don't worry, Tom. We will wash it and put a band-aid on it. It will get better soon." + +She took him to the bathroom and washed his knee with water and soap. She dried it with a towel and put a band-aid on it. She kissed it and said, "There, all done. How do you feel?" + +Tom smiled and said, "Better, Mom. Thank you. Can we go home and read the books now?" + +Mom nodded and said, "Yes, we can. Come on, Lily. Let's go home and read the books." + +Lily took Tom's hand and said, "I'm sorry you got hurt, Tom. I hope you like the books. I picked one for you. It has a dinosaur on the cover." + +Tom said, "Thank you, Lily. You are a good sister. I like dinosaurs. Maybe we can read it together." + +They walked home with Mom, holding their books and each other. They were happy. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big pile of leaves. They wanted to jump in it and make noise. + +"Let's go, let's go!" Tom said. He ran to the pile and pushed Lily. Lily fell down and cried. + +"Tom, you are naughty! Why did you push me?" Lily said. She was sad and angry. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. I just wanted to have fun. Please don't be mad at me." Tom said. He helped Lily get up and hugged her. + +They looked at the pile of leaves. They saw something shiny and white. They moved the leaves and found a skeleton. It had a big head and long bones. + +"Wow, what is that?" Tom said. He touched the skeleton. + +"It's a skeleton. It's what we have inside us. But this one has no skin or hair or clothes." Lily said. She was curious and brave. + +"Where did it come from? Who was it?" Tom said. He was scared and confused. + +"I don't know. Maybe it was someone who lived a long time ago. Maybe it was a pirate or a king or a dinosaur." Lily said. She made up stories. + +They played with the skeleton. They pretended it was their friend. They gave it a name and a hat and a scarf. They had fun and forgot that Tom was naughty. They were happy. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play dress-up with their mom's clothes. One day, they find a big suit in the closet. It is blue and has many buttons. + +"Let's try it on!" Anna says. She puts on the jacket and the pants. They are too big for her. She looks funny. + +Ben laughs. "You look like a clown!" he says. + +Anna feels sad. She likes the suit. She thinks it is pretty. She does not want to take it off. + +"No, I don't!" she says. "I look like a grown-up. I like the suit. It is mine!" + +Ben shakes his head. "No, it is not. It is mom's. You have to share. Let me try it on too!" + +Anna is stubborn. She does not want to share. She holds the suit tight. She says "No, no, no!" + +They start to pull the suit. They make a loud noise. + +Mom hears them. She comes to the closet. She sees them fighting over the suit. + +"What are you doing?" she asks. "Why are you making such a mess?" + +Anna and Ben stop. They look at mom. They feel guilty. + +"We are sorry, mom," they say. + +Mom smiles. She is not angry. She understands. She likes to play dress-up too. + +She takes the suit from them. She puts it on the bed. + +"Listen, my loves," she says. "The suit is too big for both of you. It is not fun to wear. Why don't you try something else? I have some hats and scarves and dresses and shoes. You can mix and match them. You can make your own outfits. You can be anything you want. How does that sound?" + +Anna and Ben think. They like mom's idea. They nod. + +"Okay, mom," they say. + +Mom gives them a hug. She helps them find some clothes. They have fun. They try different things. They show mom their looks. Mom claps. She says they are beautiful and handsome and creative. + +Anna and Ben are happy. They forget about the suit. They thank mom. They say they love her. + +Mom says she loves them too. She is proud of them. She is glad they learned to share. She thinks they are the best twins ever. +Lila and Tom were best friends. They liked to play in the park with their toys. One day, they brought their new dolls to the park. Lila had a pink doll and Tom had a blue doll. They were very happy. + +But there was a thief in the park. He was hiding behind a tree. He saw the dolls and wanted them. He waited for Lila and Tom to look away. Then he ran and grabbed the dolls. He ran away very fast. + +Lila and Tom saw the thief and cried. They ran after him, but he was too fast. They shouted, "Stop! Give us back our dolls!" But the thief did not stop. He laughed and said, "No, they are mine now!" + +They saw a wise old man sitting on a bench. He had a long beard and a hat. They ran to him and said, "Help us, please! The thief took our dolls!" The old man looked at them and said, "I'm sorry, children. I can't help you. The thief is my son. He always takes things that are not his. He is very bad." + +Lila and Tom were shocked and sad. They did not know what to do. They lost their dolls and their trust. They learned that some people are not good. They went home and hugged their moms. They wished they never went to the park that day. +Here is one possible story, but there are many other ways to write it. + +Lila and Ben went to the zoo with Mom and Dad. They saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and birds. But Lila and Ben liked the seals the best. They were big and gray and had funny noses. They made loud noises and splashed in the water. + +"Can we feed the seals, Mom?" Lila asked. + +"Sorry, honey, we can't. The zookeepers feed them. We can only watch," Mom said. + +But Lila and Ben wanted to feed the seals. They saw a bucket of fish near the fence. They thought the fish were for the seals. + +"Look, Ben, fish! Let's give them to the seals. They will be happy," Lila said. + +She urged Ben to follow her. She took a fish from the bucket and threw it over the fence. The seals saw the fish and swam to get it. + +"Yay, Lila, you did it! Let me try too," Ben said. + +He took another fish and threw it over the fence. But he threw it too hard. The fish flew over the water and landed on the ground. A big bear saw the fish and ran to get it. + +"Uh-oh, Ben, look! A bear!" Lila said. + +She was scared. The bear was big and brown and had sharp teeth. It growled and snarled. It wanted the fish. + +"Run, Lila, run!" Ben said. + +They ran away from the fence. But the bear was faster. It jumped over the fence and chased them. It was angry and hungry. + +"Help, Mom, Dad, help!" Lila and Ben cried. + +Mom and Dad heard them and ran to them. They saw the bear and screamed. They tried to protect Lila and Ben. But the bear was too strong. It bit Mom and Dad and hurt them. It grabbed Lila and Ben and dragged them to its den. It ate them and the fish. + +The seals watched and sighed. They were wet and sad. They wished Lila and Ben had listened to Mom and Dad. They wished they had not fed the seals. +Lily was scared of the dark. She did not like to sleep in her room alone. She had a big closet in her room, and she thought there were monsters inside. She always asked her mom to check the closet before she went to bed. + +One night, Lily heard a strange noise from the closet. It sounded like a growl. She was very afraid. She wanted to call her mom, but she was too scared to make a sound. She hid under her blanket and hoped the noise would go away. + +But the noise did not go away. It got louder and louder. Lily felt something move under her bed. She felt a cold breath on her neck. She screamed. + +"Mommy! Mommy! Help me!" + +Her mom ran into her room. She turned on the light. She saw Lily crying on her bed. She hugged her and asked her what was wrong. + +"Mommy, there is a monster in the closet! And under the bed! It tried to get me!" + +Her mom looked at the closet and the bed. She did not see any monster. She smiled and said, "Lily, there is no monster in the closet or under the bed. It is just your imagination. Do you want to see for yourself?" + +Lily nodded. She was still scared, but she trusted her mom. She held her mom's hand and walked to the closet. Her mom opened the door and said, "Look, Lily. There is nothing in the closet but your clothes and toys. Do you see any monster?" + +Lily peeked inside the closet. She saw her dresses, her shoes, her dolls, and her teddy bear. She did not see any monster. She felt silly and relieved. She said, "No, mommy. There is no monster in the closet. I'm sorry, mommy. I was wrong." + +Her mom kissed her and said, "It's okay, Lily. Everyone gets scared sometimes. But you are brave and smart. You can face your fears and see the truth. Now, let's check under the bed, okay?" + +Lily agreed. She and her mom went to the bed. Her mom lifted the blanket and said, "Look, Lily. There is nothing under the bed but your books and puzzles. Do you see any monster?" + +Lily peeked under the bed. She saw her books, her puzzles, and her ball. She did not see any monster. She felt happy and proud. She said, "No, mommy. There is no monster under the bed. I'm sorry, mommy. I was silly." + +Her mom hugged her and said, "You are not silly, Lily. You are brave and smart. You can face your fears and see the truth. Now, let's go back to bed, okay?" + +Lily nodded. She and her mom went back to bed. Her mom tucked her in and said, "Good night, Lily. I love you. Sweet dreams." + +Lily said, "Good night, mommy. I love you too. Thank you for helping me." + +She closed her eyes and fell asleep. She did not hear any more noises. She did not have any more bad dreams. She slept fast and peaceful. She was not scared of the dark anymore. +Lily and Max were playing in the living room. They liked to build towers with blocks and knock them down. They also liked to look at the pictures in the newspaper that their dad brought home every day. + +One day, they saw a picture of a ballerina on the newspaper. She was wearing a pink dress and had a crown on her head. She was standing on one foot and holding her arms up. She looked very graceful. + +"Wow, she is so pretty!" Lily said. "I want to be like her!" + +"Me too!" Max said. "Let's pretend we are ballerinas!" + +They removed their shoes and socks and put on their mom's scarves as skirts. They tried to copy the pose of the ballerina on the newspaper. They lifted their feet and arms and balanced on their toes. + +"Look at me, Lily!" Max said. "I am a graceful ballerina!" + +"Look at me, Max!" Lily said. "I am a graceful ballerina too!" + +They twirled and jumped and spun around the living room. They had so much fun pretending to be ballerinas. They did not notice that their dad came home and saw them. + +"Hello, my little ballerinas!" he said with a smile. "You are very graceful indeed!" + +He hugged them and kissed them and told them he was proud of them. He also gave them a new newspaper with more pictures to look at. They thanked him and showed him their poses. They were happy and proud to be graceful ballerinas. +Tom and Sue were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were making cakes and pies. They used pots and pans and spoons and bowls. They did not touch the oven, because it was hot and could hurt them. + +One day, Mom was baking a real cake in the oven. She told Tom and Sue to be careful and not to open the oven door. She went to the living room to answer the phone. Tom and Sue kept playing, but they were curious about the cake. They wanted to see how it looked and smelled. + +"Let's peek at the cake," Tom said to Sue. "Just a little bit. Mom won't know." + +"No, Tom," Sue said. "Mom said not to open the oven. It's hot and dangerous. And the cake might get cold and bad." + +But Tom did not listen to Sue. He reached for the oven handle and pulled it. The oven door opened and a blast of hot air came out. Tom and Sue felt the heat on their faces. They also saw the cake. It was brown and fluffy and had white frosting on top. It looked yummy. + +But then they heard Mom's voice. She was coming back to the kitchen. She sounded angry. + +"Who opened the oven?" she asked. "What are you doing, Tom and Sue?" + +Tom and Sue were scared. They knew they had done something wrong. They did not know what to say. They looked at each other and at the cake. They felt worry in their tummies. They wished they had listened to Sue. +Lily liked to draw. She drew many things with her crayons. She drew flowers, stars, and houses. But her favorite thing to draw was dragons. She loved dragons. She thought they were big, strong, and cool. + +One day, she showed her dragon drawing to her brother Max. Max was older than Lily. He looked at her drawing and said, "That's not a good dragon. It has too many legs. And its wings are too small. And its teeth are too big. You need to improve your drawing." + +Lily felt sad. She liked her dragon. She thought it was fine. She said, "No, it's a good dragon. It's my dragon. I don't want to improve it." + +Max said, "Well, I can draw a better dragon than you. Watch me." He took a paper and a crayon and started to draw. He drew a dragon with four legs, big wings, and small teeth. He said, "See? This is a good dragon. It looks real. Your dragon looks silly." + +Lily felt angry. She didn't like Max's dragon. She thought it was boring. She said, "No, your dragon is bad. It looks fake. My dragon looks fun." + +Max and Lily started to argue. They said mean things to each other. They raised their voices. They made a lot of noise. + +Their mom heard them and came to see what was wrong. She saw their drawings and their faces. She said, "What's going on here? Why are you fighting?" + +Max and Lily told her what happened. They showed her their dragons and said why they were better. Their mom looked at them and said, "Both of your dragons are good. They are different, but they are good. You don't have to improve them. You just have to respect them. And you have to respect each other. You are brother and sister. You should be kind and help each other, not hurt and judge each other." + +Max and Lily felt sorry. They realized they were wrong. They said sorry to each other and hugged. They said sorry to their mom and thanked her. They decided to share their crayons and draw more dragons together. They learned to appreciate their own and each other's dragons. They improved their relationship. And they had fun. +Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play on the farm. They see wheat in the field. Wheat is yellow and soft. They want to make bread with wheat. + +They ask the farmer if they can have some wheat. The farmer is nice. He says yes, but they have to be careful. Wheat has seeds and straw. Seeds are good for bread. Straw is not good for bread. + +Tom and Sue take some wheat. They go to the barn. They have a bowl and a spoon. They try to make bread. They put wheat in the bowl. They use the spoon to mash the wheat. They want to make dough. + +But the wheat is hard and dry. It does not make dough. It makes dust. Tom and Sue cough and sneeze. They are sad. They cannot make bread. + +They see a big machine in the barn. The machine has wheels and blades. The farmer uses the machine to fix the wheat. He puts wheat in the machine. The machine separates the seeds from the straw. The seeds go in a bag. The straw goes in a pile. + +Tom and Sue have an idea. They want to use the machine to fix their wheat. They think the machine will make dough for them. They do not ask the farmer. They are naughty. + +They turn on the machine. They put their wheat in the machine. The machine makes a loud noise. It shakes and smokes. It does not fix the wheat. It breaks the wheat. It breaks the machine. + +The farmer hears the noise. He runs to the barn. He sees Tom and Sue. He sees the broken machine. He sees the mess. He is angry. He is very angry. + +He shouts at Tom and Sue. He says, "What are you doing? You broke my machine! You wasted my wheat! You are bad children! You have to go home now!" + +Tom and Sue are scared. They are sorry. They say, "We are sorry, farmer. We wanted to make bread. We tried to fix the wheat. We did not mean to break the machine. Please do not be mad at us." + +The farmer is still angry. But he is also kind. He sees that Tom and Sue are young and foolish. He says, "You cannot make bread with a machine. You need water and yeast and flour. You need to knead and bake the dough. You need to learn and listen and ask. You cannot be bossy and do what you want. You have to be careful and respectful and helpful. Do you understand?" + +Tom and Sue nod. They understand. They say, "We understand, farmer. We will be careful and respectful and helpful. We will not be bossy and do what we want. We will learn and listen and ask. Can we still be your friends?" + +The farmer smiles. He says, "Yes, you can still be my friends. But you have to go home now. And you have to come back tomorrow. And you have to help me fix the machine. And you have to help me make bread. And you have to share the bread with me. Is that fair?" + +Tom and Sue smile. They say, "Yes, that is fair. Thank you, farmer. We will go home now. And we will come back tomorrow. And we will help you fix the machine. And we will help you make bread. And we will share the bread with you. Goodbye, farmer." + +They hug the farmer. They say sorry again. They run to their homes. They tell their parents what happened. Their parents are not happy. But they are also proud. They say, "You made a mistake. But you learned a lesson. And you made a friend. And you will make bread. That is good. We love you." + +Tom and Sue are happy. They learned a lot today. They learned about wheat and bread and machines and farmers. They learned about being careful and respectful and helpful. They learned about being bossy and naughty and sorry. They learned about being friends. They go to bed. They dream of bread. They are hungry. They cannot wait for tomorrow. +Lily and Ben were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They gave him a carrot nose and two rocks for eyes. + +"Can we give him a mouth?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, let's find some sticks," Ben said. + +They looked around and saw a bottle on the ground. It had a skull and crossbones on it. + +"Look, sticks!" Lily said. She ran to the bottle and picked it up. + +"No, Lily, stop!" Ben shouted. "That's not sticks, that's poison!" + +He ran after her and tried to take the bottle from her. + +"Let go, Ben, it's mine!" Lily said. She pulled the bottle and opened it. + +A bad smell came out of the bottle. Lily coughed and dropped it. The poison spilled on the snow. + +"Are you okay, Lily?" Ben asked. He was scared. + +Lily nodded. She felt sick. + +"Mommy, mommy!" Ben yelled. He helped Lily get up and ran to the house. + +Mommy came out and saw them. She saw the bottle and the snowman. + +"What happened?" Mommy asked. + +"Lily found poison and wanted to give the snowman a mouth," Ben said. + +Mommy gasped. She hugged Lily and Ben. + +"That was very dangerous, Lily. You could have hurt yourself or the snowman. You should never touch poison. Do you understand?" Mommy said. + +Lily nodded. She was sorry. + +"I'm sorry, Mommy. I didn't know it was poison. I thought it was sticks," Lily said. + +Mommy smiled. She kissed Lily and Ben. + +"It's okay, Lily. I'm glad you're safe. But next time, ask me or Ben before you touch anything you don't know. And don't play with the snowman anymore. He's icy and he has poison on him. Let's go inside and have some hot chocolate," Mommy said. + +Lily and Ben agreed. They followed Mommy inside and left the snowman alone. He looked sad with his poison mouth. +Anna and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big hoop on the grass. Anna wanted to try it. She picked up the hoop and put it around her waist. She moved her hips and made the hoop spin. + +"Look, Ben, I can do it!" she said. + +Ben was nervous. He did not know how to use the hoop. He thought it looked hard. He did not want to look silly. + +"Can I try?" he asked. + +"Sure, here you go," Anna said. She gave the hoop to Ben. + +Ben took the hoop and tried to put it around his waist. But the hoop was too big for him. It fell to the ground. He tried again. It fell again. He felt frustrated. + +"I can't do it!" he said. + +Anna saw Ben was sad. She wanted to help him. She had an idea. + +"Ben, you can lean on me," she said. "I will hold the hoop for you. Then you can move your hips and make it spin." + +Ben liked Anna's idea. He leaned on Anna and she held the hoop for him. He moved his hips and made the hoop spin. He felt happy. + +"Look, Anna, I can do it!" he said. + +Anna smiled. She was happy too. + +They leaned on each other and spun the hoop together. They had fun. They were friends. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys and books. But every night, they have to take a bath and brush their teeth before bed. Mom and Dad help them get ready. + +One night, Lily and Ben are playing with their blocks. Mom says, "Time to take a bath, kids. Put away your blocks and come with me." Lily and Ben nod and put their blocks in the box. They follow Mom to the bathroom. + +Mom fills the tub with warm water and bubbles. She says, "Who wants to go first?" Lily and Ben both say, "Me!" Mom smiles and says, "How about you take turns? Lily, you go first. Ben, you can play with your cars while you wait." Lily nods and takes off her clothes. She gets in the tub and splashes the water. Mom washes her hair and body with soap. She says, "Lily, you are so clean and shiny. Now, let's brush your teeth." She gives Lily a brush and some paste. Lily puts the paste on the brush and brushes her teeth. She spits out the foam and rinses her mouth. She says, "Look, Mom, my teeth are white and sparkly." Mom says, "Good job, Lily. You are ready for bed. Now, it's Ben's turn." + +Mom helps Lily get out of the tub and dry off. She puts on her pajamas and hugs Mom. She says, "Thank you, Mom. I love you." Mom says, "I love you too, Lily. Go to your room and wait for me. I'll read you a story after Ben is done." Lily says, "Okay, Mom." She goes to her room and picks a book from her shelf. She sits on her bed and looks at the pictures. + +Mom helps Ben get in the tub and washes him. She gives him a brush and some paste. He brushes his teeth and rinses his mouth. He says, "Mom, I'm ready for bed too." Mom says, "Good job, Ben. You are ready for bed too. Let's go to your room and join Lily." She helps Ben get out of the tub and dry off. She puts on his pajamas and hugs him. She says, "Thank you, Ben. I love you." Ben says, "I love you too, Mom. Let's go read a story." He goes to his room and sees Lily on her bed. He says, "Hi, Lily. What book did you pick?" Lily says, "Hi, Ben. I picked The Three Bears. Do you like it?" Ben says, "Yes, I like it. It's a fun story." He sits on his bed and waits for Mom. + +Mom comes to their room and sees them on their beds. She says, "Are you ready for a story, kids?" Lily and Ben both say, "Yes, Mom. We are ready." Mom says, "Okay, then. Let's read The Three Bears." She sits on a chair and opens the book. She reads the story to them and shows them the pictures. Lily and Ben listen and laugh. They like the story. When Mom finishes the story, she says, "The end. Did you like the story, kids?" Lily and Ben both say, "Yes, Mom. We liked the story. Thank you, Mom." Mom says, "You're welcome, kids. I'm glad you liked it. Now, it's time to sleep. Good night, Lily. Good night, Ben. Sweet dreams." She kisses them and tucks them in. She turns off the light and leaves the room. + +Lily and Ben close their eyes and smile. They are happy and sleepy. They say, "Good night, Mom. Good night, Lily. Good night, Ben." They fall asleep and dream of The Three Bears. +Anna and Lily were best friends. They liked to play with dolls and dress up. One day, Anna found a small bracelet in her mom's drawer. It was shiny and had many colors. Anna wanted to wear it and show Lily. + +"Look, Lily, I have a pretty bracelet!" Anna said, putting it on her wrist. "Do you like it?" + +Lily looked at the bracelet and felt sad. She did not have a bracelet like that. She wanted to have one too. She thought of a way to get it. + +"Anna, can I try your bracelet?" Lily asked. "It is so nice. Maybe it will fit me better." + +Anna did not want to share her bracelet. She liked it too much. She shook her head. + +"No, Lily, this is my bracelet. You cannot have it. It is mine!" Anna said, holding her wrist. + +Lily felt angry. She did not think Anna was a good friend. She tried to grab the bracelet from Anna. + +"Give it to me, Anna! It is not fair! You have to share!" Lily said, pulling Anna's arm. + +Anna and Lily started to fight. They yelled and pushed each other. They did not hear their mom coming. + +"Girls, what are you doing?" Mom asked, seeing them on the floor. "Why are you fighting?" + +Anna and Lily stopped and looked at Mom. They both wanted to tell their side of the story. + +"She took my bracelet!" Anna said. + +"She did not let me try it!" Lily said. + +Mom looked at the bracelet and recognized it. It was her bracelet. She had forgotten to put it away. + +"Girls, this is not your bracelet. This is my bracelet. I let Anna borrow it for a little while. But you both have to be careful with it. It is very old and special. It was a gift from my grandma." Mom said, taking the bracelet from Anna. + +Anna and Lily felt sorry. They did not know it was Mom's bracelet. They did not mean to break it or hurt Mom's feelings. + +"Mom, we are sorry. We did not know. We were just playing." Anna said. + +"Mom, we are sorry. We were just jealous. We both liked your bracelet." Lily said. + +Mom smiled and hugged them. + +"It is okay, girls. I know you did not mean it. But you have to learn to share and be kind. You are best friends, right?" Mom said. + +Anna and Lily nodded and hugged each other. + +"Yes, Mom. We are best friends. We will not fight again." Anna said. + +"Can we suggest something, Mom?" Lily said. + +"What is it, Lily?" Mom asked. + +"Can you make us each a small bracelet like yours? We would love to have one too." Lily said. + +Mom laughed and kissed them. + +"Maybe I can, girls. Maybe I can." Mom said. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big horn on the ground. It is shiny and long. + +"Wow, look at this horn!" Tom says. "I wonder where it came from." + +"Maybe it belongs to a unicorn," Mia says. "Or a rhino. Or a dinosaur." + +They pick up the horn and try to blow it. But nothing happens. The horn is silent. + +"Maybe it is broken," Tom says. "We need to solve this. Maybe we can find a way to make it sound." + +They look around the park for something to help them. They see a deep hole near a tree. They think maybe there is something in the hole that can fix the horn. + +"Let's go and see," Mia says. "Maybe there is a magic stone or a fairy or a tool." + +They run to the hole and look inside. It is very dark and scary. They hear a growl. + +"Hello?" Tom says. "Is anyone there?" + +Suddenly, a big bear jumps out of the hole. It is angry and hungry. It sees Tom and Mia and the horn. + +"Roar!" the bear says. "Give me that horn! It is mine!" + +Tom and Mia are scared. They drop the horn and try to run away. But the bear is faster. It catches them and eats them. + +The end. +Ben and Sam were best friends. They liked to play with trains and cars. One day, they found a whistle in the park. It was shiny and loud. They took turns to blow it and make noise. + +"Can I have the whistle?" Ben asked Sam. + +"No, it is mine. I found it first," Sam said. + +"But I want it too. Please share," Ben said. + +"No, you can't have it. It is too good for you. You are humble and boring," Sam said. He was mean and greedy. + +Ben was sad and angry. He tried to grab the whistle from Sam. They fought and pulled. The whistle broke in two. They both cried. + +A big dog came and saw the whistle. It thought it was a toy. It barked and ran to them. It bit Sam's hand and took the whistle. It ran away. + +Ben and Sam were hurt and scared. They had no whistle and no fun. They had no friends. They wished they had been nice and shared. +Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play with cars and balls. One day, they see a big cake on the table. It is Mom's birthday cake. Mom says, "Do not touch the cake. It is for later." + +But Tim and Sam are hungry. They think the cake looks yummy. They think Mom will not know. They think they are smart. They wait until Mom goes to the bathroom. Then they sneak to the table. They grab big pieces of cake. They stuff them in their mouths. + +"Wow, this is good!" Tim says. + +"Yeah, so good!" Sam says. + +They eat and eat. They do not stop. They do not hear Mom coming back. They do not see her angry face. They do not hear her shout, "What are you doing? You are very naughty! You ruined the cake!" + +Tim and Sam feel bad. They feel sick. Their stomachs hurt. They want to cry. They say, "We are sorry, Mom. We are stupid. We will not do it again." + +But Mom is not happy. She is very mad. She says, "You are in big trouble. You have to go to your room. You have to stay there until dinner. You have to eat broccoli. You have no dessert. You have no toys. You have no fun." + +Tim and Sam go to their room. They are sad. They are sorry. They are stupid. They wish they did not eat the cake. They wish they listened to Mom. They wish they had a good day. But they do not. They have a bad day. They have a bad ending. +Tommy was a naughty boy. He did not listen to his mom and dad. He broke his toys, he spilled his milk, he shouted and cried. His mom and dad were very angry. They said, "Tommy, you need to behave. If you are naughty, we will punish you. You will not get any dessert, and you will go to bed early." + +But Tommy did not care. He thought he was smart and brave. He said, "I don't want dessert. I don't want to go to bed. I want to play and have fun. You can't punish me. You are mean and silly." + +His mom and dad were very sad. They loved Tommy, but they wanted him to learn. They said, "Tommy, this is your last chance. If you are naughty again, we will give you a spicy dinner. You will not like it. It will make your mouth hot and your eyes water. It will hurt your tummy. Do you want a spicy dinner?" + +Tommy laughed. He said, "I don't care. I like spicy food. I can eat anything. You can't scare me. You are weak and funny." + +His mom and dad sighed. They hoped Tommy would change his mind. They made a spicy dinner for him. They put a lot of pepper, garlic, and chili in it. They gave it to Tommy and said, "Here is your dinner, Tommy. Enjoy it. We hope you will be sorry for being naughty." + +Tommy took a big bite of his dinner. He felt a fire in his mouth. He felt a pain in his throat. He felt a tear in his eye. He spit out his dinner and said, "Ow, ow, ow! This is too spicy! This is not fair! This is not nice! I don't want this dinner! I want dessert! I want water! I want ice cream!" + +His mom and dad said, "Too bad, Tommy. This is your punishment. You have to eat your dinner. You have to learn your lesson. Maybe next time, you will be good. Maybe next time, you will listen to us. Maybe next time, you will say sorry." + +Tommy cried and cried. He wished he was not naughty. He wished he was good. He wished he had dessert. He wished he had water. He wished he had ice cream. He wished he had a hug. He learned his lesson. He said, "I'm sorry, mom and dad. I'm sorry for being naughty. I will be good. I will listen to you. I love you. Please forgive me." + +His mom and dad smiled. They hugged Tommy and said, "We love you, too, Tommy. We forgive you. We are proud of you. You are a good boy. You can have some water and some ice cream. But you still have to go to bed early. And you still have to eat your dinner tomorrow. And it will not be spicy. It will be yummy. Do you understand?" + +Tommy nodded. He said, "I understand. Thank you, mom and dad. You are the best. Good night." He went to bed. He was happy. He was good. He was not naughty. He was not punished. He was loved. +Timmy and Lila were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of fun making noises and pretending to be animals. But then they heard a loud thump from upstairs. They looked at each other and wondered what it was. + +"Maybe it's a monster!" Timmy said, his eyes wide. + +"Or a ghost!" Lila said, shivering. + +They were scared and wanted to hide under the sofa. But then they heard their mom's voice from upstairs. + +"Timmy! Lila! Come here, please!" + +They hesitated, but they knew they had to obey their mom. They got up and held hands as they walked to the stairs. + +"Mom, what's that noise?" Timmy asked. + +"It's nothing to be afraid of, sweeties. It's just your dad. He's fixing the roof. He had to move some things around and they made a thump." + +"Oh," Lila said, feeling relieved. + +They climbed the stairs and saw their dad on a ladder, holding a hammer and some nails. He smiled when he saw them. + +"Hi, kids. Do you want to see what I'm doing?" + +"Yes, please!" Timmy and Lila said. + +Their mom helped them get closer to the ladder, but not too close. She explained that their dad was repairing a hole in the roof that let the rain and the wind in. She said he was very brave and strong to do that. + +"Wow, dad, you're amazing!" Timmy said. + +"Can we help you, dad?" Lila asked. + +Their dad laughed and thanked them for their encouragement. He said they could help him by being good and listening to their mom. He said he would be done soon and then they could have a snack together. + +"Okay, dad. We love you!" Timmy and Lila said. + +They hugged their mom and went back downstairs. They were happy and proud of their dad. They didn't know much about roofs and hammers and nails, but they knew their dad was doing something important. They were not ignorant, they were curious. And they learned something new that day. +Tom and Sam were brothers who liked to play hide and seek. Tom was older and smarter, and he always found Sam quickly. Sam was younger and stubborn, and he always wanted to win. One day, they played in the big park near their house. Tom said, "I will count to ten, and you go hide. But don't go too far, or I will get mad." Sam nodded, but he had a goal in his mind. He wanted to find the best hiding spot ever, and make Tom look for him for a long time. + +Sam ran away from Tom, and looked around the park. He saw a big tree, a slide, a bench, and a pond. He thought the tree was too obvious, the slide was too small, and the bench was too boring. He decided to hide behind the pond, where there were some bushes and rocks. He thought Tom would never find him there. He crawled behind the pond, and hid under a bush. He felt proud and excited. + +Tom finished counting, and opened his eyes. He shouted, "Ready or not, here I come!" He started to look for Sam, but he could not see him anywhere. He checked the tree, the slide, and the bench, but Sam was not there. He started to get annoyed, and called out, "Sam, where are you? This is not fun anymore!" He heard no answer, only some birds and frogs. He walked around the park, and came near the pond. He saw some ripples on the water, and some bubbles. He wondered what was making them. + +Sam heard Tom's voice, and smiled. He thought he was very clever, and that Tom would never find him. He stayed under the bush, and did not make a sound. He did not notice that the pond was deeper than he thought, and that the water was slowly rising. He did not feel that his feet were wet, and that his clothes were soaked. He did not see that a big fish was swimming towards him, and that it had sharp teeth. + +Tom saw the fish, and his eyes widened. He realized that Sam was hiding behind the pond, and that he was in danger. He ran to the pond, and shouted, "Sam, get out of there! There is a fish that can bite you!" He reached the pond, and looked for Sam. He saw a splash, and a scream. He saw the fish, and a red stain. He saw Sam's shoe, and a piece of his shirt. He did not see Sam. He was too late. He cried, and wished he had found Sam sooner. He wished Sam had not been so stubborn. He wished they had not played hide and seek. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a lot of fun on the swings, the slide and the seesaw. They also like to talk to each other. + +One day, they see a big dog in the park. The dog is brown and furry. It has a collar with a name on it. The name is Rex. Lily and Ben want to pet the dog. They think the dog is friendly. + +They walk towards the dog. The dog sees them and barks. The dog is not friendly. The dog is crazy. The dog runs after them. Lily and Ben are scared. They scream and run away. + +"Help! Help!" they shout. "The dog is crazy!" + +A man hears them. The man is the owner of the dog. He calls the dog. He says, "Rex, come here! Leave them alone!" + +The dog listens to the man. The dog stops chasing Lily and Ben. The dog goes back to the man. The man says sorry to Lily and Ben. He says, "I'm sorry. Rex is not crazy. He is just playful. He likes to chase things. He doesn't mean to hurt you." + +Lily and Ben are still scared. They don't want to play with the dog. They say, "No, thank you. We don't like your dog. Your dog is crazy. We want to leave." + +They run to their moms. They tell their moms what happened. Their moms hug them and say, "It's okay. You are safe. The dog can't hurt you anymore. You are brave." + +Lily and Ben feel better. They decide to play in the park again. But they stay away from the dog. They don't like the dog. They think the dog is crazy. +Lily and her uncle went to the park. They saw many things: birds, flowers, swings, slides. Lily liked to run and play, but her uncle liked to sit and gaze. He gazed at the sky, the trees, the people. He had gray hair and a gray beard, and he smiled a lot. + +"Uncle, why do you gaze so much?" Lily asked him. She was curious. + +"I gaze because I like to see the beauty of the world, Lily," her uncle said. "I gaze because I remember the past, and I dream of the future. I gaze because I am happy to be with you." + +Lily hugged her uncle. She did not understand all his words, but she felt his love. She wanted to make him happy too. + +"Uncle, can I gaze with you?" she asked. + +"Of course, Lily. You can gaze with me anytime," her uncle said. + +They gazed together at the park. They saw a rainbow, a butterfly, a balloon. They gazed and they smiled. They were happy. +Ben and Lily are playing with their toys in the garden. Ben has a big truck and Lily has a doll. Ben likes to make noises with his truck and pretend he is a builder. Lily likes to dress up her doll and pretend she is a princess. + +"Look at my truck!" Ben says. "It can carry sand and rocks and tools. I am a good builder. I can fix anything." + +"Look at my doll!" Lily says. "She has a pretty dress and a crown and a necklace. I am a good princess. I can make anyone happy." + +Ben and Lily are happy playing with their toys. But then Ben sees Lily's necklace. It is shiny and colorful. He wants it for his truck. + +"Can I have your necklace?" Ben asks. "I need it for my truck. It is a tool. I can pay you with sand or rocks." + +"No, you can't have my necklace!" Lily says. "It is not a tool. It is a jewel. It is mine. I don't want sand or rocks. Go away!" + +Ben is angry. He tries to grab Lily's necklace. Lily pulls it back. They start to fight. They are both clumsy. They fall on the ground. The necklace breaks. The beads scatter everywhere. + +"Look what you did!" Lily cries. "You broke my necklace! It was my favorite! You are a bad builder and a bad friend!" + +"I'm sorry!" Ben says. "I didn't mean to break it! I just wanted to play with it! You are a bad princess and a bad friend!" + +Ben and Lily are sad and mad. They don't want to play with each other anymore. They sit on opposite sides of the garden. They hug their toys. They wish they had their necklace and their truck back. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys and eat cereal. One day, they find a spray bottle in the bathroom. They think it is fun to spray water on each other and on the mirror. + +"Look, Lily, I can make a face on the mirror!" Ben says. He sprays water and draws a smiley face with his finger. + +"Ha ha, that is funny, Ben!" Lily says. She sprays water and draws a heart with her finger. + +They giggle and spray more water. They do not see that Mom is coming. + +Mom is fat. She has a big belly. She is going to have a baby soon. She is not happy to see the water on the floor and on the mirror. + +"Hey, you two, what are you doing?" Mom says. She sounds angry. + +"We are playing, Mom!" Lily and Ben say. + +"Playing? You are making a mess! This is not a toy, this is for cleaning. Give me that spray bottle right now!" Mom says. + +She takes the spray bottle from Ben and wipes the mirror with a towel. She tells Lily and Ben to go to the kitchen and eat their cereal. + +Lily and Ben are sad. They do not want to make Mom angry. They go to the kitchen and eat their cereal. They hope Mom will be happy again. They love Mom and the baby. They want to play with the baby when he or she comes. +Lila and Ben are twins. They like to play outside in the garden. One day, they see a big bush with red berries. They want to try them. + +"Look, Ben, berries!" Lila says. "Let's crawl to the bush and pick some." + +"OK, Lila, but be careful. Maybe they are not good to eat," Ben says. + +They crawl on the grass, feeling the sun and the wind on their skin. They reach the bush and see the shiny red berries. They smell sweet and juicy. + +"Wow, they look yummy!" Lila says. She picks one and puts it in her mouth. + +"Mmm, they are yummy!" she says. "Try one, Ben." + +Ben picks one and bites it. He makes a funny face. + +"Yuck, they are sour!" he says. He spits it out. + +"Lila, how can you like them? They are not yummy, they are ouchy!" + +Lila laughs. + +"Ben, you are silly. They are not ouchy, they are original. They have different tastes. I like sour, you like sweet. That's OK. We can share." + +She gives him a hug and a smile. + +"OK, Lila, you are nice. We can share. But next time, let's find some sweet berries, OK?" + +"OK, Ben, let's find some sweet berries. But first, let's crawl back to Mommy. She will be happy to see our berries." + +They crawl back to Mommy, holding their berries. Mommy is happy to see them. + +"Look, Mommy, we found berries!" they say. + +"Wow, you did! What kind of berries are they?" Mommy asks. + +"They are original berries, Mommy. They have different tastes. Lila likes sour, Ben likes sweet. We share," Lila says. + +"That's wonderful, my darlings. You are very clever and kind. You can have some berries as a snack, but wash them first, OK?" + +"OK, Mommy, thank you. We love you and we love berries!" they say. + +They wash their berries and eat them. They are happy and full. They cuddle with Mommy and tell her their story. Mommy listens and smiles. She loves them and their original berries. +Tom and Lily were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat, a scarf and a carrot nose. They also found some shiny crystals in the ice and used them to make eyes and buttons for the snowman. + +"Look, our snowman is so pretty!" Lily said. "He has sparkly eyes and buttons." + +"Yes, he does," Tom said. "But we have to be careful. The sun is very bright and warm today. It can melt our snowman and the crystals." + +Lily looked at the sun and felt troubled. She did not want to lose their snowman and the crystals. She had an idea. + +"Let's make a shelter for our snowman," she said. "We can use some sticks and leaves to make a roof over him. That way, the sun will not touch him and he will not melt." + +Tom liked the idea. He helped Lily find some sticks and leaves and they worked together to make a shelter for their snowman. They covered him with the roof and made sure he was safe. + +"There, now our snowman is happy," Lily said. "He can keep his hat, his scarf, his nose, his eyes and his buttons." + +"Yes, he can," Tom said. "And we can come back tomorrow and play with him again." + +They smiled and hugged their snowman. Then they went home, feeling proud of their work. +One day, a little girl named Lily was playing in the garden. She saw a flower that was very pretty and smelled very sweet. She wanted to pick the flower and take it to her mom. + +But there was a bee on the flower. The bee was busy drinking the flower's juice. The bee did not want to share the flower with Lily. The bee buzzed and said, "Go away, this is my flower. You cannot have it." + +Lily was scared of the bee. She did not like the bee's noise and sting. She ran away from the flower and the bee. She found another flower that was also pretty and sweet. She reached out her hand to pick the flower. + +But there was another bee on the flower. The bee was also busy drinking the flower's juice. The bee did not want to share the flower with Lily. The bee buzzed and said, "Go away, this is my flower. You cannot have it." + +Lily was sad and angry. She did not understand why the bees were so mean. She wanted to have a flower for her mom. She did not give up. She was persistent. She looked for another flower that had no bee on it. + +She found a flower that was very pretty and sweet. She looked around and saw no bee. She smiled and picked the flower. She was happy and proud. She ran to her mom and gave her the flower. + +Her mom hugged her and said, "Thank you, Lily. This is a beautiful flower. You are a good and brave girl. You did not let the bees stop you from finding a flower. You remained persistent. That is a good thing to do. Persistence helps you achieve your goals and dreams." + +Lily hugged her mom and said, "I love you, mom. You are the best. I learned from you to be persistent. You always tell me to try again and not give up. You are my role model." + +The end. +Sara likes to draw with her pencil. She draws flowers and stars and houses. She draws on paper and on the wall. She is happy when she draws. + +But today, Sara is not happy. She cannot find her pencil. She looks under the bed and in the closet. She looks in the toy box and in the kitchen. She cannot find her pencil anywhere. + +She sighs and sits on the floor. She feels sad. She wants to draw. + +"Mommy, where is my pencil?" she asks. + +Mommy comes and hugs her. She smiles and says, "I have a surprise for you, Sara. Come with me." + +She takes Sara to the living room. There, on the table, is a big box. It is light and has a bow on it. + +"What is it, Mommy?" Sara asks. + +"Open it and see," Mommy says. + +Sara opens the box. Inside, there are many pencils. There are red and blue and green and yellow pencils. There are also crayons and markers and stickers. There are papers and books and cards. + +Sara gasps and claps her hands. She is very happy. She hugs Mommy and says, "Thank you, Mommy. You are the best." + +Mommy kisses her and says, "You are welcome, Sara. I love you. Now you can draw anything you want." + +Sara picks up a pencil and starts to draw. She draws Mommy and herself and the box. She draws with a big smile on her face. She is happy when she draws. +Sara and Tom are playing with their blocks. They like to build towers and houses and cars. Sara has a big red block that she puts on top of her tower. Tom wants the red block, but Sara says no. + +"Give me the red block, Sara. It is mine," Tom says. + +"No, Tom. It is mine. I found it first," Sara says. + +Tom is angry. He pushes Sara's tower with his hand. The tower falls down and makes a loud noise. The big red block hits the floor and makes a crack. Sara is sad. She cries and picks up the broken block. + +"Look what you did, Tom. You broke my red block. It is empty now. There is nothing inside," Sara says. + +Tom feels sorry. He did not mean to break the red block. He shakes his head and says sorry to Sara. + +"I am sorry, Sara. I did not want to break your red block. I was mad. Can we share the red block?" Tom says. + +Sara stops crying. She looks at the red block. It is empty, but it still has two parts. She thinks for a moment. She nods and says yes to Tom. + +"Okay, Tom. We can share the red block. You can have one part and I can have the other part. We can still play with it," Sara says. + +Sara and Tom smile. They hug and say sorry to each other. They put the two parts of the red block together and make a new tower. They are happy and play with their blocks. +Tim and Lily were playing outside when they saw dark clouds in the sky. They heard a loud noise like a drum. It was thunder. They saw bright flashes like fire. It was lightning. + +"Let's go inside, Tim. I'm scared of the thunder and lightning," Lily said. + +"No, Lily. I'm not scared. I'm brave. I want to stay and watch the lightning. It's fun," Tim said. + +But soon, the rain started to pour. It was very heavy and cold. Tim and Lily got wet and shivered. They ran to the house, but the door was locked. Mom and Dad were not home yet. + +"Help, help! Let us in!" Tim and Lily cried. They knocked on the door and windows, but no one answered. + +They saw a big tree near the house. It had a hole in its trunk. They decided to hide in the hole until the rain stopped. They crawled inside and felt a little warmer and drier. + +But then, they heard another loud noise. It was louder than the thunder. They saw a bright flash. It was brighter than the lightning. The tree was hit by the lightning. It started to burn. + +"Help, help! We're trapped!" Tim and Lily screamed. They tried to get out of the hole, but it was too small. They felt the heat and the smoke. They were scared and sorry. + +They wished they had listened to Lily and gone inside earlier. They wished they had not been so stubborn and foolish. They wished they had been more careful and safe. + +They learned a hard lesson. They learned that thunder and lightning are not fun. They learned that they should listen to their friends and parents. They learned that they should respect nature and its power. + +Luckily, Mom and Dad came home and saw the fire. They called the firemen and they came with a big truck and a loud siren. They used water and axes to put out the fire and free Tim and Lily. They were very happy to see their children alive, but they were also very angry and sad. They hugged them and scolded them. + +"Tim and Lily, you were very naughty and reckless. You could have been hurt or killed by the lightning. You should never play outside when there is thunder and lightning. You should always come inside and stay safe. Do you understand?" Mom and Dad said. + +"Yes, Mom and Dad. We're sorry. We understand. We won't do it again. We love you," Tim and Lily said. + +They were very sorry and ashamed. They were also very grateful and relieved. They thanked the firemen and apologized to Mom and Dad. They promised to be more obedient and wise. They hugged Mom and Dad and each other. They learned their lesson. They learned to be careful and safe. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, they go to a new school. They are nervous. They do not know the other children. They do not know the teacher. + +The teacher is nice. She smiles and says hello. She says her name is Miss Lee. She says they will learn a new language. She says the language is called Spanish. She says it is fun and easy. + +Tom and Mia look at each other. They do not know Spanish. They only know English. They wonder how they will learn. They wonder if they will like it. + +Miss Lee gives them a book. The book has pictures and words. She says they will remove the stickers from the book and stick them on the board. She says they will say the words in Spanish and in English. She says they will repeat after her. + +Tom and Mia try. They remove the stickers. They stick them on the board. They say the words. They repeat after Miss Lee. They hear the other children say the words too. They start to feel less nervous. They start to have fun. They start to like Spanish. They smile at each other. They are happy. They are learning. +Lily and Tom were playing with their blocks. They wanted to make a big castle with towers and walls and a gate. They worked hard and had fun. + +But then, a loud noise came from outside. It was a big truck that was passing by. The truck made the ground shake and the blocks fall. Lily and Tom's castle was ruined. They felt sad and angry. + +"Go away, ugly truck!" Tom shouted. "You broke our castle!" + +Lily started to cry. She hugged her teddy bear and looked at the mess. She did not want to play anymore. + +Tom saw that Lily was crying. He felt sorry for her. He put down his blocks and went to her. He hugged her and said, "Don't cry, Lily. It's okay. We can make another castle. A better one. I will help you." + +Lily looked at Tom. She saw that he was kind. She wiped her tears and smiled. She said, "Thank you, Tom. You are a good friend. You comfort me." + +They hugged each other and felt better. Then, they picked up their blocks and started to build a new castle. They hoped that no more ugly trucks would come and spoil their fun. +Lily liked to examine things. She liked to look at them closely and touch them gently. She wanted to know how they worked and what they were for. One day, she saw her mom put a big dish in the oven. Lily was curious. She wanted to examine the oven. + +"Mom, what is that?" she asked, pointing at the oven. + +"That is an oven, Lily. It is a special thing that makes food hot and yummy. We use it to cook dinner," her mom explained. + +"Can I see?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, but be careful. The oven is very hot. You can't touch it or open it. You can only look," her mom said. + +Lily nodded. She went closer to the oven and examined it. She saw a glass door with a handle. She saw some buttons and knobs. She saw some light and steam inside. She saw the dish with the food. It looked good. + +"Wow, the oven is unique. It is like a magic box," Lily said. + +"Yes, it is unique. But it is not magic. It is science. The oven uses electricity and heat to cook the food. Do you want to learn more about it?" her mom asked. + +"Yes, please. I want to learn more about everything. I like to examine things," Lily said. + +Her mom smiled. She was proud of her curious and smart daughter. She hugged her and said, "I like to examine things too. That's how we learn and grow. Come on, let's go to the living room and read a book about ovens and other things. Maybe we can find some more unique things to examine." +Lily and Sam were playing with clay in the garden. They liked to make shapes and animals with the clay. Lily made a snake and Sam made a frog. + +"Look at my frog!" Sam said. "It can hop and croak." + +"Look at my snake!" Lily said. "It can slither and hiss." + +They showed each other their clay animals and made noises. + +"Can I join your snake and frog?" a voice asked. + +They looked up and saw Ben, their neighbor. He had a ball of clay in his hand. + +"Sure, you can join us!" Lily said. "What are you going to make?" + +"I don't know yet," Ben said. "Maybe a bird or a fish." + +He sat down next to them and started to shape his clay. + +The sun was shining and the clay was wet. It felt soft and sticky in their hands. They had fun making and sharing their clay creations. They were happy to play together. +Anna and Ben are playing with blocks. They like to build towers and houses with the blocks. They have many blocks of different colors and shapes. + +"Look, I made a big tower!" Anna says. She shows Ben her tower. It has many blocks on top of each other. The top block is light blue. + +"Wow, that's a nice tower!" Ben says. He wants to make a tower too. He looks for blocks to use. He sees the light blue block on Anna's tower. He likes the light blue block. He wants to use it for his tower. + +Ben reaches for the light blue block. He tries to remove it from Anna's tower. But the tower is very tall and wobbly. When Ben pulls the block, the tower falls down. All the blocks crash on the floor. + +"Hey, what are you doing?" Anna cries. She is angry and sad. She worked hard to make her tower. Now it is gone. "That was my block! You made my tower fall!" + +"I'm sorry, Anna. I just wanted the light blue block. It's my favorite color." Ben says. He feels bad. He did not mean to ruin Anna's tower. He likes Anna. He wants to make her happy. + +"Next time, ask me first. Maybe we can share the blocks. Or we can make a tower together." Anna says. She is still upset, but she forgives Ben. She knows he is her friend. + +"Okay, Anna. I'm sorry. Can we play again?" Ben says. He smiles. He hopes Anna will smile too. + +"Yes, we can play again. But be careful with the blocks. They are not toys to remove. They are toys to build." Anna says. She smiles. She picks up some blocks and gives some to Ben. They start to build a new tower. They use the light blue block for the top. They are happy. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play together, but sometimes they fight. One day, they fight over a toy truck. Sara wants to drive it, but Ben says it is his. They pull and push and shout. + +"Mine!" Ben says. + +"No, mine!" Sara says. + +Mom hears them and comes to their room. She is not happy. She takes the toy truck and puts it on a high shelf. She says, "You need to share and be nice. If you fight, you can't play with the toy truck." + +Sara and Ben are sad and angry. They sit on their beds and turn away from each other. They don't talk. + +Mom goes to the kitchen and makes some toast. She spreads some jam on the toast. She thinks of a way to make Sara and Ben happy again. She brings the toast and jam to their room. She says, "I have a treat for you. Do you want some toast and jam?" + +Sara and Ben look at the toast and jam. They love jam. They nod and say, "Yes, please." + +Mom gives them each a slice of toast and jam. She says, "You can have the toy truck back if you promise to play together and not fight. Can you do that?" + +Sara and Ben look at each other. They think of the toy truck. They think of the jam. They smile and say, "Yes, we can." + +Mom says, "Good. Then you can unite and be friends again. Give each other a hug." + +Sara and Ben hug each other. They say, "Sorry" and "I love you". They eat their toast and jam. They feel calm and happy. Mom smiles and says, "That's my good twins." She gives them the toy truck and says, "Now you can take turns and have fun." + +Sara and Ben say, "Thank you, Mom." They play with the toy truck and share. They don't fight anymore. They are united and happy. +Lily and Tom were best friends. They liked to play together every day. One day, they found a big box in the park. They were very enthusiastic. They wanted to see what was inside. + +"Let's open it!" Lily said. + +"Maybe it has a surprise for us!" Tom said. + +They lifted the lid and saw a lot of colorful balloons. They were very happy. They took some balloons and started to blow them up. + +"Look, this one is red!" Lily said. + +"And this one is blue!" Tom said. + +They tied the balloons to their wrists and ran around the park. They felt like they were flying. + +"Let's send some balloons to the sky!" Lily said. + +"Good idea!" Tom said. + +They let go of some balloons and watched them float away. They waved and shouted, "Bye-bye, balloons!" + +But then, they saw a sad boy sitting on a bench. He had no balloons. He had no friends. He looked lonely. + +"Who is he?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know. Maybe he is new here." Tom said. + +They felt sorry for him. They wanted to make him happy. + +"Let's give him some balloons!" Lily said. + +"Are you sure?" Tom said. + +"Yes, I am sure. We have enough balloons. And he has none." Lily said. + +They walked over to the boy and smiled. + +"Hi, we are Lily and Tom. Do you want some balloons?" Lily asked. + +The boy looked up and saw them. He was surprised. He nodded shyly. + +"Here, take these. They are for you." Tom said. + +He handed him some balloons. The boy took them and smiled. + +"Thank you. You are very kind." He said. + +He tied the balloons to his wrist and felt happy. + +"What is your name?" Lily asked. + +"My name is Sam. I just moved here. I have no friends." He said. + +"Well, now you have us. We can be your friends." Lily said. + +"Really? That would be nice." Sam said. + +They invited him to play with them. They had a lot of fun. They ran, jumped, and laughed. They shared their balloons and their stories. They became good friends. + +The moral of the story is: Sharing is caring. When you share what you have with others, you can make them happy and make new friends. +Anna loves chocolate. She likes to eat it after lunch. She has a big bar of chocolate in her cupboard. She wants to share it with her friend Lily. + +Anna and Lily go to Anna's room. Anna opens the cupboard and takes out the chocolate. She breaks it into two pieces. She gives one piece to Lily and keeps one for herself. + +They sit on the bed and eat the chocolate. It is sweet and yummy. They smile and giggle. They feel happy and calm. + +But then they hear a loud noise. It is Anna's brother Tom. He is running up the stairs. He wants some chocolate too. He knows Anna has some in her cupboard. + +He bursts into Anna's room. He sees the chocolate on the bed. He grabs it from Anna and Lily. He tries to eat it all. + +Anna and Lily are angry and sad. They want their chocolate back. They jump on Tom and try to get it. They pull and push and shout. + +Tom is stronger and bigger. He holds the chocolate tight. He squeezes it hard. The chocolate breaks and melts. It makes a big mess on the bed and on his hands. + +Anna, Lily and Tom stop fighting. They look at the chocolate. It is ruined. They feel sorry and silly. They hug and say sorry. They clean up the mess. They decide to share the chocolate next time. +Anna and Ben were friends who liked to play with toys. One day, they found a big box in the basement. Inside the box, there were many shiny things that looked like stars. They were very curious and wanted to touch them. + +"Wow, they glow!" Anna said. "They are so pretty!" + +"Let me see!" Ben said. He reached for the box and pulled out a long stick with a star on the end. "This is cool! I wonder what it does!" + +Anna saw a label on the box that said "Danger! Do not touch! These are powerful measures for science!" She did not know what those words meant, but she felt scared. + +"Ben, put it back!" Anna said. "It might be bad!" + +But Ben did not listen. He waved the stick around and made noises. "Zap! Zap! I am a superhero!" he said. + +Suddenly, the stick made a loud boom and a bright flash. Anna and Ben felt a lot of pain and fell to the ground. The box caught fire and the smoke filled the basement. Anna and Ben could not breathe or move. They were very hurt and scared. They wished they had listened to Anna and left the box alone. +Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play together. One day, they go to the park with their moms. They see a big slide and a swing. They want to have fun. + +Sara and Tom run to the slide. They take turns to go down. They laugh and shout. They are happy. Their moms watch them and smile. + +After a while, Sara and Tom feel hungry. Their moms have a picnic basket. They open it and take out some sandwiches, fruits and cookies. They sit on a blanket and share the food. + +Sara and Tom are polite. They say "please" and "thank you" when they want something. They also say "sorry" when they make a mess. They do not fight or grab. They eat with their mouths closed. They are good. + +Their moms are proud of them. They give them hugs and kisses. They say "you are very polite, Sara and Tom. We love you". Sara and Tom feel warm and happy. They love their moms too. They finish their food and pack up the basket. + +Sara and Tom are ready to play again. They run to the swing. They take turns to push each other. They laugh and shout. They are happy. They have a good day at the park. +Anna and Ben were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They gave him a carrot nose and two buttons for eyes. They were very happy. + +"Look, our snowman is so nice!" Anna said. + +"Yes, he is. Do you want to kiss him?" Ben asked. + +Anna nodded. She went closer to the snowman and gave him a little kiss on the cheek. But then, something bad happened. The snowman's head fell off and rolled away. + +"Oh no!" Anna cried. "Our snowman is broken!" + +Ben ran after the snowman's head. He tried to catch it, but it was too fast. It rolled down the hill and hit a cabin. The cabin was old and wooden. The snowman's head broke a window and went inside. + +"Oops!" Ben said. "We have to get it back!" + +Anna and Ben followed the snowman's head. They reached the cabin and knocked on the door. Nobody answered. They opened the door and went inside. The cabin was dark and cold. They saw the snowman's head on the floor. It looked sad. + +"Sorry, snowman," Anna said. "We didn't mean to hurt you." + +She picked up the snowman's head and hugged it. Ben found the hat and the scarf and put them back on. He also fixed the carrot nose and the buttons. The snowman's head smiled. + +"Thank you, Anna and Ben," the snowman's head said. "You are very kind." + +Anna and Ben were surprised. They didn't know the snowman's head could talk. + +"Who are you?" Ben asked. + +"I am a magic snowman," the snowman's head said. "I live in this cabin. It is my home. But it is broken. Nobody comes here anymore." + +Anna and Ben felt sorry for the snowman. They wanted to help him. + +"Can we fix your cabin?" Anna asked. + +"Yes, please," the snowman said. "That would make me very happy." + +Anna and Ben smiled. They decided to stay with the snowman and help him fix his cabin. They found some wood and nails and tools. They worked hard and had fun. They fixed the window and the door and the roof. They made the cabin warm and cozy. They also made a new body for the snowman and put his head on top. The snowman was very happy. + +"Thank you, Anna and Ben," the snowman said. "You are my friends. You made my cabin and my heart whole again." + +Anna and Ben hugged the snowman. They were happy too. + +"You are welcome, snowman," Anna said. "You are our friend too. You made our day magical." + +They kissed the snowman goodbye and went back to their home. They promised to visit him again soon. The snowman waved at them and smiled. He was not lonely anymore. +One day, a boy named Tom went to the park with his mom. He liked to play on the swings and the slide, but he also liked to wander around and look for bugs and animals. He saw a butterfly, a worm, and a snail, but he wanted to find something more exciting. + +He wandered away from the playground and into the woods. He heard a loud sound that went "ribbit, ribbit". He followed the sound and came to a pond. He saw a large frog sitting on a lily pad. The frog was green and brown and had big eyes and a long tongue. Tom thought the frog was cool and wanted to touch it. + +He got closer to the pond and reached out his hand. The frog saw him and jumped into the water with a splash. Tom was surprised and wet. He laughed and tried to catch the frog, but the frog was too fast and hid under the water. Tom waited for the frog to come out, but he did not see it. + +He heard his mom calling his name. She was looking for him and sounded worried. Tom remembered that he had wandered too far and that he should go back. He said goodbye to the frog and ran to his mom. He told her about the large frog and how it jumped and splashed. His mom smiled and hugged him. She said he was a good explorer, but he should not wander too far. Tom agreed and said he was sorry. He asked if they could come back to the pond another day. His mom said yes, if he promised to stay close. Tom nodded and held his mom's hand. They went back to the playground and had more fun. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a huge bird in the sky. It had many feathers of different colors. It was a sign bird. Lily and Ben wanted to talk to the sign bird. + +"Hello, sign bird!" Lily shouted. "Can you tell us a sign?" + +The sign bird flew down and landed on a tree. It looked at Lily and Ben with its big eyes. + +"Hello, little ones," the sign bird said. "I can tell you a sign, but you have to do something for me first." + +"What do you want us to do?" Ben asked. + +"I want you to find me a feather from another bird. A feather that is not like mine. A feather that is special and rare. Then I will tell you a sign." + +Lily and Ben nodded. They ran around the park, looking for a feather. They saw many birds, but none of them had a feather that was special and rare. They saw a duck, a pigeon, a crow, a sparrow, but none of them had a feather that was not like the sign bird's. + +They were about to give up, when they saw a small bird on the ground. It was hurt and could not fly. It had a feather that was shiny and blue. It was a blue jay. + +"Look, Ben, look!" Lily said. "That bird has a special and rare feather. Maybe we can help it and take its feather." + +They went to the blue jay and tried to pick it up. But the blue jay was scared and pecked at them. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Lily and Ben cried. "Stop, stop, stop!" + +The sign bird saw what was happening and flew down. It made a loud noise and scared the blue jay away. + +"Thank you, sign bird, thank you!" Lily and Ben said. + +"You're welcome, little ones," the sign bird said. "But you should not take a feather from a living bird. That is not nice. That is not fair. That is not how you get a sign." + +"Then how do we get a sign?" Lily and Ben asked. + +The sign bird smiled and pointed at its own feathers. + +"You already have a sign," the sign bird said. "You have a sign of friendship. You have a sign of kindness. You have a sign of curiosity. You have a sign of courage. You have a sign of love. You have a sign of yourself. And that is the most special and rare sign of all." + +Lily and Ben hugged the sign bird and thanked it for the sign. They learned a lot from the sign bird. They played with it until it was time to go home. They waved goodbye and promised to come back. The sign bird flew away, leaving a trail of colorful feathers in the sky. +Tom and Lily like to play outside. They have a big hoop and a small bike. Tom can ride the bike very fast. Lily can roll the hoop very far. + +One day, they see a new boy in the park. He has an orange shirt and an orange hat. He also has a big bike with orange wheels. He rides his bike around the park and makes loud noises. + +"Who is that?" Tom asks Lily. + +"I don't know. He looks mean," Lily says. + +The new boy sees Tom and Lily. He rides his bike towards them. He stops near their hoop and bike. + +"Hey, what are you doing here?" he says. "This is my park. Give me your hoop and bike. They are too small for you." + +Tom and Lily are scared. They don't want to give their hoop and bike to the new boy. They like their hoop and bike. + +"No, they are ours. We don't want to give them to you," Tom says. + +"Too bad. I'm bigger and stronger than you. I can take them if I want to," the new boy says. He tries to grab the hoop and bike from Tom and Lily. + +But then, they hear a loud bark. It is Rex, the big dog that lives near the park. Rex likes Tom and Lily. He does not like the new boy. He runs towards the new boy and barks at him. + +"Go away, you bad boy. Leave Tom and Lily alone. They are my friends," Rex says. + +The new boy is afraid of Rex. He drops the hoop and bike and runs away. He does not come back to the park. + +Tom and Lily are happy. They hug Rex and thank him. + +"Thank you, Rex. You are a good dog. You saved our hoop and bike," Lily says. + +"You are welcome, Tom and Lily. You are good kids. You can play with me anytime," Rex says. + +Tom and Lily smile. They play with Rex and their hoop and bike. They have fun in the park. They don't see the new boy again. They don't care. They have each other and Rex. They are happy. +Lila and Ben liked to play at the harbor. They liked to see the big boats and the little fish. They liked to spin on the merry-go-round and slide on the slide. They liked to share their toys and snacks with each other. + +One day, a new boy came to the harbor. His name was Max. He had a big truck and a loud voice. He did not like to share. He wanted to play with Lila and Ben's toys, but he did not let them play with his truck. He was rude. + +He took Lila's doll and threw it in the water. He took Ben's ball and kicked it far away. He laughed and said, "My toys are better than yours. You can't have them." Lila and Ben were sad and angry. They did not like Max. + +They decided to teach Max a lesson. They waited until he was spinning on the merry-go-round. Then they ran to the merry-go-round and pushed it very fast. Max was spinning and spinning and spinning. He felt dizzy and sick. He wanted to stop, but he could not. He cried and said, "Help me! Help me!" + +Lila and Ben stopped the merry-go-round and got their toys back. They said to Max, "You are rude. You should share and be nice. If you want to play with us, you have to be kind." Max felt sorry and said, "I'm sorry. I was rude. Can I play with you?" Lila and Ben nodded and said, "Yes, you can. But you have to share and be nice." Max agreed and they all played together. They spun on the merry-go-round, but not too fast. They slid on the slide and saw the big boats and the little fish. They shared their toys and snacks with each other. They were happy. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play outside. They have a lot of gear. Gear is things you use to play. They have balls, bikes, scooters, and helmets. + +One day, Lily and Ben go to the park. They see a big slide. They want to go on the slide. But the slide is very high. They need to climb a ladder to get to the top. + +Lily is scared. She does not like high things. She says to Ben, "I do not want to go on the slide. It is too high. Can I lend your bike? I want to ride your bike." + +Ben is kind. He says, "OK, you can lend my bike. But you have to wear my helmet. It is safe to wear a helmet. And you have to give it back when we go home." + +Lily says, "Thank you, Ben. You are a good friend. I will wear your helmet and give it back." + +Lily and Ben swap their gear. Lily rides Ben's bike. Ben climbs the ladder and goes on the slide. They have fun. + +But then, they hear a loud noise. It is a siren. A siren is a noisy thing that makes a sound like this: wee-woo-wee-woo. A siren is on a fire truck. A fire truck is a big red car that helps people when there is a fire. + +Lily and Ben stop playing. They look at the fire truck. They see the firemen. The firemen are people who wear yellow clothes and helmets. They have hoses and ladders. They are brave. + +Lily and Ben wonder what is happening. They hope everyone is OK. They decide to go home. They swap their gear back. They say goodbye to each other. They tell their moms and dads about the fire truck. They are happy they are safe. They are happy they are friends. +Tom was a lonely cat. He lived in a big house with no other cats or friends. He only saw his human once a day, when she gave him food and water. Sometimes, she would pet him and say nice things, but then she would leave and Tom would be alone again. + +One day, Tom was very bored and curious. He saw a shiny thing on the table. It was a glass of milk. Tom liked milk. He jumped on the table and tried to touch the glass with his paw. But the glass was slippery and it fell down. The milk spilled all over the floor and made a big mess. + +"Oh no!" Tom heard his human say. She came into the room and saw the milk and the glass. She was not happy. She picked up Tom and scolded him. "Bad cat! You should not touch my milk! You made a big mess! Go to your bed and stay there!" She put Tom in his bed and closed the door. + +Tom felt sad and sorry. He did not mean to make his human angry. He just wanted to taste the milk and have some fun. He wished he had a friend to play with and to cuddle with. He curled up in his bed and tried to sleep, but he felt very lonely. He hoped his human would forgive him and love him again. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of fun making houses and cars and animals with their blocks and dolls and cars. But they also made a big mess on the floor and the couch and the table. + +Mom came in and saw the mess. She was not happy. She said, "Lily and Ben, you need to clean up your toys now. I have to cook dinner and I don't want to step on your toys or see them everywhere. Put them back in the box, please." + +Lily and Ben did not want to clean up. They wanted to keep playing. They said, "No, Mom, we are not done. We want to play more. We don't want to put our toys in the box. That is boring." + +Mom said, "That is rude, Lily and Ben. You have to listen to me and do what I say. You can play later, after dinner. But now you have to clean up. It is not fair to leave your toys all over the place. It is not nice to me or to your toys. They need a place to rest, too." + +Lily and Ben still did not want to clean up. They thought Mom was being mean. They had an idea. They found a bottle of glue in the drawer and decided to glue their toys to the floor and the couch and the table. They thought that would be funny and that Mom would not be able to make them clean up. + +They started to glue their toys everywhere. They laughed and giggled as they did it. They did not see Mom coming back from the kitchen. She saw what they were doing and she was very angry. She said, "Lily and Ben, what are you doing? That is very bad. You are ruining your toys and the furniture. You are making a bigger mess. You are wasting the glue. You are being very naughty. Stop it right now." + +Lily and Ben stopped gluing their toys. They saw Mom's face and they knew they were in trouble. They felt sorry and scared. They said, "We are sorry, Mom. We were just playing. We did not mean to be bad. We did not know the glue would stick so much. Please don't be mad at us." + +Mom said, "I am very mad at you, Lily and Ben. You did a very bad thing. You have to help me unglue your toys and clean the furniture. You have to say sorry to your toys, too. They did not deserve to be treated like that. And you have to go to your room without dinner. You have to think about what you did and why it was wrong. Maybe then you will learn to be more respectful and responsible." + +Lily and Ben felt very sad and ashamed. They helped Mom unglue their toys and clean the furniture. They said sorry to their toys and hugged them. They said sorry to Mom, too. They went to their room without dinner. They thought about what they did and why it was wrong. They wished they had listened to Mom and cleaned up their toys. They wished they had not been rude and naughty. They wished they had not used the glue. They hoped Mom would forgive them and love them. They hoped they could play with their toys again. They hoped they could have dinner tomorrow. +Ben and Lily went to the farm with their mom and dad. They saw many animals, like cows, pigs, sheep and chickens. They wanted to touch them, but mom and dad said they had to be careful and gentle. + +"Can we touch the hay?" Lily asked. Hay was the dry grass that the animals ate and slept on. + +"Sure, you can touch the hay, but watch out for prickles and bugs," mom said. + +Ben and Lily ran to the big pile of hay and started to feel it with their hands. It was soft and scratchy at the same time. They liked how it smelled and how it made a rustling sound. + +"Look, I found a dull needle!" Ben said, holding up a thin metal stick. + +"Let me see!" Lily said, reaching for it. + +"No, don't touch it, it might hurt you!" mom said, running over to them. She took the needle from Ben and threw it away. "That's not a toy, that's a dangerous thing. Someone left it here by mistake. You should never touch needles, they can make you bleed and get sick." + +"Sorry, mom, I didn't know," Ben said, looking sad. + +"It's okay, honey, I'm glad you're not hurt. But you have to be more careful next time. There are many fun things to touch on the farm, but some things are not safe. Do you understand?" mom said, hugging him. + +"Yes, mom, I understand," Ben said. + +"Me too, mom," Lily said. + +"Good. Now, how about we go and feed the ducks? They like bread and seeds. Do you want to touch their feathers?" mom said, smiling. + +"Yes, yes, yes!" Ben and Lily said, jumping up and down. They forgot about the dull needle and ran to the pond, where the ducks were waiting for them. They had a lot of fun touching and feeding the ducks, and they learned to be more careful on the farm. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play together. Today, they are in the kitchen. They see a big pot of spaghetti on the stove. It smells good. + +"Can we have some spaghetti?" Tom asks Mia. + +"Yes, let's have some spaghetti!" Mia says. They take two plates and two forks. They scoop some spaghetti from the pot. They sit on the floor and eat. + +But the spaghetti is too hot. It burns their mouths. They spit it out. They make a mess on the floor. The spaghetti is sticky and slimy. They touch it with their fingers. They laugh. + +"Let's play with the spaghetti!" Tom says. He throws some spaghetti at Mia. It lands on her hair. + +"Hey, that's rough!" Mia says. She throws some spaghetti back at Tom. It lands on his face. + +They have a spaghetti fight. They throw spaghetti at each other. They giggle and scream. They have fun. + +But then, Mom comes in. She sees the mess. She is angry. + +"What are you doing?" Mom asks. She looks at Tom and Mia. They are covered in spaghetti. + +"We are playing with the spaghetti!" Tom and Mia say. + +Mom shakes her head. She is not happy. She tells them to stop. She tells them to clean up. She tells them to say sorry. + +Tom and Mia feel bad. They say sorry to Mom. They help her clean up. They promise not to play with the spaghetti again. + +Mom hugs them. She is not angry anymore. She tells them to be careful. She tells them to wait for the spaghetti to cool down. She tells them to eat with a spoon. + +Tom and Mia nod. They are hungry. They eat the spaghetti with a spoon. They say it is yummy. They thank Mom. + +Mom smiles. She loves them. She tells them to play nicely. She tells them to enjoy their spaghetti. +Lila and Ben are playing with their dolls. Lila has a black doll with long hair. Ben has a brown doll with short hair. Lila likes to tie her doll's hair with ribbons. Ben likes to make his doll run and jump. + +"Can I tie your doll's hair?" Lila asks Ben. + +"No, you can't. My doll does not like ribbons. He likes to run and jump." Ben says. + +"But ribbons are pretty. Your doll will look nice with ribbons." Lila says. + +"No, he won't. He will look silly with ribbons. He is a boy doll, not a girl doll." Ben says. + +Lila and Ben start to argue. They raise their voices and pull their dolls. Lila tries to tie a ribbon on Ben's doll. Ben tries to take the ribbon off. The ribbon breaks and falls on the floor. + +"Look what you did! You broke my ribbon!" Lila cries. + +"Look what you did! You hurt my doll!" Ben cries. + +They are both angry and sad. They turn away from each other and hug their dolls. + +Mom hears them and comes to see what is wrong. She sees the broken ribbon and the unhappy children. + +"What happened here?" Mom asks. + +"Lila tried to tie my doll's hair. She broke my ribbon." Ben says. + +"Ben tried to take off my ribbon. He hurt my doll." Lila says. + +Mom sighs and sits down with them. She picks up the ribbon and the dolls. + +"I'm sorry you had a fight. I know you both love your dolls. But you have to respect each other's choices. Lila, you can't tie Ben's doll's hair if he doesn't want to. Ben, you can't take off Lila's ribbon if she likes it. You have to ask first and listen to each other. Can you do that?" Mom says. + +Lila and Ben nod. They feel sorry for being mean to each other. + +"I'm sorry, Ben. I won't tie your doll's hair again." Lila says. + +"I'm sorry, Lila. I won't take off your ribbon again." Ben says. + +They hug and say sorry. Mom smiles and gives them a kiss. + +"Why don't you play together nicely? You can make your dolls do different things. Maybe your dolls can be friends too." Mom says. + +Lila and Ben agree. They decide to make their dolls play together. Lila ties a ribbon on her doll's hand. Ben makes his doll hold the ribbon. They make their dolls walk and talk. They laugh and have fun. + +They are happy again. They learn to share and care. They love their dolls and each other. They have a good day. +Sam and Mia love to play with trains. They have a big box of train pieces and they can make different tracks on the floor. Sometimes they make a circle, sometimes they make a zigzag, and sometimes they make a bridge. + +One day, they decide to make the most impressive track ever. They use all the train pieces they have and make a long and winding track that goes around the room, under the table, over the couch, and through the door. They are very proud of their track and they smile at each other. + +"Wow, this is the best track ever!" Sam says. + +"Yes, it is! Let's run the train on it!" Mia says. + +They get their favorite train, a red one with a whistle, and put it on the track. They push the button and the train starts to move. It makes a loud noise and goes fast on the track. Sam and Mia follow the train and cheer as it goes around the room, under the table, over the couch, and through the door. + +They are having so much fun that they don't hear their mom calling them for lunch. She comes to the room and sees the impressive track and the train. She smiles too and says: + +"Wow, what a great track you made! You are very clever and creative!" + +"Thank you, mom!" Sam and Mia say. + +"Can we play with it some more?" Mia asks. + +"Of course, but first you have to eat your lunch. Come on, let's go to the kitchen. You can bring your train with you." Mom says. + +Sam and Mia pick up their train and follow their mom to the kitchen. They are happy and hungry. They can't wait to play with their track again after lunch. +Lily loved her cat, Max. He was very hairy and soft. He liked to sleep on her bed and purr. Lily liked to pet him and hug him. + +One day, Lily was sad. She had a bad dream and woke up crying. She looked for Max, but he was not on her bed. She felt scared and alone. She called for her mom and dad, but they did not hear her. + +She got out of her bed and walked to the door. She saw Max in the hall. He was sitting on a rug. He looked at Lily and meowed. Lily ran to him and picked him up. She held him close and felt his warm fur. He licked her face and nuzzled her neck. + +Lily felt better. She smiled and said, "Thank you, Max. You are my best friend. You comfort me when I am sad." She carried him back to her bed and cuddled with him. He purred and closed his eyes. Lily closed her eyes too and fell asleep. She had a good dream and woke up happy. +Ben and Sam are friends. They like to play with toy guns. They shoot at each other and make loud noises. They have fun. + +One day, they find a big gun in Sam's dad's room. It looks like a real gun. Ben wants to play with it. He says, "Let me shoot it, Sam. It will be more fun." + +Sam is scared. He knows his dad will be angry if he touches the gun. He says, "No, Ben. We can't play with it. It is not a toy. It is dangerous. It can hurt us. We have to promise not to touch it." + +Ben does not listen. He grabs the gun and runs outside. He points it at a tree and pulls the trigger. He thinks it will make a loud noise and a puff of smoke. But it does not. It makes a loud bang and a flash of fire. The bullet flies out of the gun and hits the tree. The tree has a hole in it. Ben is shocked. He drops the gun and runs back to Sam. + +Sam is angry and scared. He says, "Ben, you broke your promise. You played with the gun. You could have hurt yourself or someone else. You are not my friend anymore." + +Ben is sorry and sad. He says, "I'm sorry, Sam. I was wrong. I did not know the gun was real. I did not mean to break my promise. Please be my friend again." + +Sam thinks for a long time. He is still angry, but he also misses Ben. He says, "OK, Ben. I will be your friend again. But you have to promise me never to touch a gun again. And you have to tell your mom and dad what you did. And you have to say sorry to my dad." + +Ben nods. He says, "I promise, Sam. I will do all that. Thank you for being my friend again." + +They hug and go inside. They decide to play with something else. They do not want to play with guns anymore. They learned a big lesson. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play games. Today they play a game with a rope. They take turns to tie the rope around a tree. Then they try to pull the rope off. + +"Look, I can tie the rope very tight!" Tom says. He wraps the rope around the tree many times. He pulls hard. The rope does not move. + +"Let me try!" Mia says. She wants to show Tom that she can tie the rope too. She takes the rope from Tom. She ties it around her neck. She thinks it is normal. She smiles at Tom. + +"Look, I can tie the rope around my neck!" Mia says. She pulls the rope. The rope is too tight. Mia cannot breathe. She feels pain. She tries to scream. She cannot. + +Tom sees Mia. He is scared. He runs to Mia. He tries to untie the rope. He cannot. The rope is too tight. He cries. He calls for help. He is too late. + +Mia is dead. Tom is sad. He wishes he never played the game with the rope. He wishes he could say sorry to Mia. He wishes he could see her smile again. He wishes he could go back to normal. But he cannot. +Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big dog. The dog is brown and has a long tail. The dog runs to them and barks. + +"Hello, dog!" Tom says. He is not afraid of dogs. He wants to pet the dog. + +"No, Tom, stop!" Anna says. She is afraid of dogs. She thinks the dog is angry and will bite them. She holds Tom's hand and tries to walk away. + +The dog follows them and barks louder. Tom and Anna are scared. They run to the swings and climb on them. The dog can't reach them there. + +"Go away, dog!" Tom says. He waves his arms and makes a face. + +"Help, help!" Anna says. She cries and hugs Tom. + +A man comes to the park. He sees Tom and Anna and the dog. He is the dog's owner. He calls the dog and puts a leash on him. + +"I'm sorry, kids. He is a friendly dog, but he likes to play too much. He won't hurt you," the man says. He smiles and pets the dog. + +Tom and Anna look at the man and the dog. They are not sure if they believe him. + +"Can we touch him?" Tom asks. He is curious about the dog. + +"Sure, if you want. He likes to be petted. His name is Rex," the man says. He holds the dog's leash and lets him sit. + +Tom and Anna get off the swings and walk to the man and the dog. They are still a little afraid, but they want to try. They touch the dog's fur and ears. The dog licks their hands and wags his tail. + +"See, he is nice. He just wants to be your friend," the man says. + +Tom and Anna smile. They like the dog now. They think he is cute and soft. + +"Hello, Rex!" Tom says. He rubs the dog's belly. + +"Hello, Rex!" Anna says. She gives the dog a hug. + +The man, the dog, Tom and Anna are happy. They play in the park for a while. Then they say goodbye and walk home. They feel safe and glad. They have a new friend. +Ben and Lily were going to the park with Mom. They had to load their toys in the car. Ben wanted to bring his ball, his truck and his teddy. Lily wanted to bring her doll, her book and her blanket. They put their toys in a big bag and Mom helped them load it in the car. + +"Are you ready to go?" Mom asked. + +"Yes!" Ben and Lily said. + +They put on their shoes and buckled their seat belts. Ben had blue shoes with laces. Lily had pink shoes with velcro. They both liked their shoes. They were comfortable and easy to wear. + +On the way to the park, they saw many things. They saw cars, buses, bikes and people. They saw houses, shops, trees and flowers. They saw a big truck with a loud horn. Ben and Lily waved at the truck driver. He waved back and honked his horn. + +"Beep beep!" Ben and Lily said. + +They laughed and clapped their hands. They were happy and excited. They could not wait to play at the park. They thanked Mom for taking them. Mom smiled and said, "You're welcome. I love you." +Lily liked to paint. She had many colors and brushes. She painted flowers and trees and animals. She was a painter. + +One day, she went to the park with her mom. She saw a man with a big canvas and a hat. He was also a painter. But his painting was weird. It had no colors, only black and white. It had no shapes, only lines and dots. It looked like a mess. + +Lily was curious. She walked to the man and asked, "Why do you paint like that?" + +The man looked at her and smiled. He said, "I paint what I feel. Sometimes I feel happy, sometimes I feel sad. Sometimes I feel angry, sometimes I feel calm. These are my feelings. They are not weird, they are just different." + +Lily thought for a moment. She said, "I paint what I see. I see colors and shapes and things. These are my paintings. They are not weird, they are just different." + +The man nodded. He said, "You are right. You are a painter, and I am a painter. We are both artists. We can paint whatever we want. There is no right or wrong way to paint." + +Lily smiled. She said, "Can I hug you?" + +The man said, "Of course." + +Lily hugged the man. She said, "You are a nice painter. I like you." + +The man hugged her back. He said, "You are a nice painter too. I like you too." + +Lily's mom watched them and smiled. She was happy that Lily made a new friend. She was proud of her painter. +Tim and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump on the grass. They also liked to look for bugs and flowers. But they did not like the big dog that sometimes came to the park. The big dog was loud and scary. It liked to chase and bark at them. + +One day, they saw the big dog coming. They were anxious. They ran to the slide and climbed up. They hoped the big dog would not see them. But the big dog saw them. It ran to the slide and jumped up. It tried to bite them. + +"Help! Help!" Tim and Lily shouted. They were very scared. They wished their mom and dad were there. + +But then, they heard a whistle. It was the big dog's owner. He came to the park and called the big dog. The big dog stopped barking and jumped down. It ran to its owner and wagged its tail. + +"Sorry, kids. He's just playful. He doesn't mean to hurt you," the owner said. He put a leash on the big dog and walked away. + +Tim and Lily sighed with relief. They were glad the big dog was gone. They hugged each other and smiled. + +"Let's go play somewhere else," Lily said. + +"OK. But let's stay away from the big dog," Tim said. + +They slid down the slide and ran to the swings. They had fun and forgot about the big dog. The end. +Lily and Ben were playing with a big puzzle. The puzzle had many pieces that made a picture of a mighty lion. Lily and Ben liked the lion, but they did not like to share the pieces. + +"I want this piece!" Lily said, grabbing a piece from Ben's hand. + +"No, it's mine!" Ben said, pulling it back. + +They both tugged and pulled, but the piece did not come out. It ripped in half, and they both fell down. + +"Oh no!" Lily said, looking at the broken piece. "We ruined the puzzle!" + +Ben started to cry. He did not want to play anymore. He wanted to go home. + +Lily felt sorry. She did not want to make Ben cry. She wanted to play with him. + +"Ben, I'm sorry," she said, getting up. "I was mean. Can we be friends?" + +Ben looked at her. He was still sad, but he nodded. + +"Friends," he said, wiping his tears. + +Lily smiled. She had an idea. + +"Look, we can still make the puzzle," she said, showing him the broken piece. "We can unite the two halves, like this." + +She put the two halves together, and they fit. She gave one half to Ben, and kept the other. + +"Let's find the other pieces, and unite them too," she said. "Then we can see the mighty lion." + +Ben liked the idea. He got up, and took Lily's hand. + +"Okay," he said. "Let's do it." + +They searched for the other pieces, and united them one by one. They worked together, and helped each other. Soon, they had all the pieces, and the puzzle was done. + +They looked at the mighty lion, and smiled. It was beautiful. + +They hugged each other, and cheered. + +"We did it!" they said. "We made the puzzle!" + +They were happy. They learned to share, and to unite. They were friends. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play in the river. They had a big raft made of thick wood that they could ride on the water. One day, they decided to go on an adventure and ride the raft to the other side of the river, where they had never been before. + +"Come on, Ben, let's go!" Lily said, as she jumped on the raft and grabbed a long stick to push it. "It will be fun!" + +"Are you sure, Lily?" Ben asked, as he followed her hesitantly. "The river is fast and deep. What if we get lost or stuck?" + +"Don't be scared, Ben. We are brave and smart. We can do it!" Lily said, as she started to push the raft with the stick. "Look, there are so many things to see on the other side. Maybe we can find some animals or flowers or treasure!" + +Ben nodded, but he was still worried. He looked at the water and saw it was dark and swirling. He looked at the sky and saw it was gray and cloudy. He looked at the raft and saw it was old and cracked. He wished they had stayed on their side of the river, where it was safe and familiar. + +The twins rode the raft for a long time, but they did not reach the other side. The river was too wide and too strong. It pushed them away from the shore and into the middle, where the waves were bigger and the wind was louder. The raft started to shake and creak. Lily and Ben started to cry. + +"Help! Help!" they shouted, but no one heard them. They were alone and scared. They hugged each other and prayed for someone to save them. + +Suddenly, they saw a boat coming towards them. It was their father, who had seen them from the bridge and followed them with his boat. He was angry and worried, but also relieved and happy. He reached them and pulled them into his boat. He hugged them and kissed them and scolded them. + +"What were you thinking, Lily and Ben? You could have drowned or been hurt! You should never ride the raft without me or without telling me where you are going! You should never go to the other side of the river without permission! You should never disobey me or lie to me! Do you understand?" he said, as he drove the boat back to their side of the river. + +"Yes, daddy, we understand. We are sorry, daddy. We were wrong, daddy. We love you, daddy." Lily and Ben said, as they sobbed and apologized. They learned their lesson. They never rode the raft again without their father. They never went to the other side of the river again without permission. They never disobeyed him or lied to him again. They were good and obedient children. They were happy and safe. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to travel with their mom and dad. They have a big car that can go very fast. They have a big bag with many cloths. Some cloths are old and some are new. + +One day, they go to a farm. They see many animals. They see cows, pigs, sheep, and chickens. They want to touch them and feed them. Mom and dad say they can, but they have to be careful. They say the animals can be dirty and bite. + +Anna and Ben go to the sheep. They are white and fluffy. Anna and Ben want to feel their wool. They find a nice sheep that lets them pet it. They say hello to the sheep. The sheep says baa. + +"Can we take some wool?" Anna asks mom. + +"No, sweetie, the wool belongs to the sheep. We can buy some at the shop," mom says. + +"But I want to make a new cloth with the wool. A scarf for you, mom," Anna says. + +"That's very kind of you, Anna, but we have to ask the farmer first. Maybe he will let us have some wool later," mom says. + +Anna and Ben nod. They say goodbye to the sheep. They go to see the other animals. They have fun at the farm. + +Later, mom and dad take them to the shop. They see many things made of wool. They see hats, gloves, socks, and scarves. They are all different colors and patterns. Mom and dad let them choose one thing each. + +Anna sees a scarf that looks like the sheep's wool. It is white and fluffy. She thinks it is perfect for mom. She picks it up and shows it to mom. + +"Look, mom, I found a new cloth for you. A scarf like the sheep's wool. Do you like it?" Anna says. + +Mom smiles and hugs Anna. She says she loves it. She says it is the best gift ever. She says Anna is very thoughtful and sweet. + +Ben sees a hat that looks like the pig's nose. It is pink and curly. He thinks it is funny and cute. He picks it up and shows it to dad. + +"Look, dad, I found a new cloth for you. A hat like the pig's nose. Do you like it?" Ben says. + +Dad laughs and hugs Ben. He says he likes it. He says it is the funniest gift ever. He says Ben is very clever and funny. + +Anna and Ben are happy. They travel back home with their mom and dad. They wear their new cloths. They remember the farm and the animals. They say they want to go back soon. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play together. They have a plan. They want to have a meeting with their toys. They want to make a tasty snack for their toys. + +They go to the kitchen. They see some bread, cheese, jam and fruit. They ask Mom if they can use them. Mom says yes, but they have to be careful and clean up. Lily and Ben say thank you and take some things. + +They go to the living room. They put a blanket on the floor. They bring their toys. They have a teddy bear, a doll, a truck and a dinosaur. They sit on the blanket with their toys. They say hello to their toys. + +"Welcome to our meeting," Lily says. "We have a plan. We want to have fun and share a tasty snack. Do you like our plan?" + +"Yes, we do," Ben says, making his toys nod. "We are hungry and happy. What is the snack?" + +Lily and Ben show their toys the bread, cheese, jam and fruit. They cut the bread and spread some cheese and jam on it. They cut the fruit and put it on a plate. They give some to their toys and some to themselves. + +"Mmm, this is tasty," Lily says, taking a bite. "Do you like it, teddy bear?" + +"Yes, I do," Ben says, making his teddy bear talk. "Thank you, Lily and Ben. You are very kind and good at making snacks." + +Lily and Ben smile. They are glad their toys like their plan and their snack. They eat and talk and play with their toys. They have a fun meeting. They are happy friends. +Tom and Mia like to play catch with their navy ball. The ball is big and heavy, but they can throw it far and fast. They take turns to catch the ball and say "good job" or "try again". + +One day, they go to the park with their mom and dad. They find a big grassy field and start to play catch. They have fun and laugh a lot. But then, the ball goes too far and lands in a pond. They run to the pond and look for the ball. They see it floating on the water, but they cannot reach it. + +They feel sad and want their ball back. They call their mom and dad and show them the pond. Their mom and dad say "don't worry, we will help you". They look around and find a long stick. They use the stick to push the ball closer to the shore. Then, they grab the ball and give it to Tom and Mia. + +Tom and Mia are happy and hug their mom and dad. They say "thank you, you are the best". They dry the ball with a towel and start to play catch again. They are careful not to throw the ball too far. They enjoy the rest of the day at the park. +Lily and Sam were playing in the park. They liked to act like animals. Lily was a cat and Sam was a dog. They ran and jumped and chased each other. + +"Meow, meow, I am a cat. You can't catch me, dog!" Lily said. + +"Woof, woof, I am a dog. I will catch you, cat!" Sam said. + +They had fun until they saw a big pond. The pond looked cool and shiny. They wanted to swim in it. + +"Let's go to the pond, dog. It is hot today. The pond will make us feel good," Lily said. + +"OK, cat. Let's go to the pond. But be careful. The pond may have fish or frogs or snakes," Sam said. + +They ran to the pond and jumped in. They splashed and swam and laughed. But then, Lily felt something bite her toe. She screamed and cried. + +"Ow, ow, ow! Something bit my toe! It hurts, it hurts!" Lily said. + +Sam swam to her and saw a small fish. The fish had sharp teeth and was angry. The fish did not like Lily and Sam in his pond. + +"Go away, go away! This is my pond. You are not animals. You are children. You are noisy and rude. You scared my friends. You hurt my home. Go away!" the fish said. + +Lily and Sam were scared and sorry. They got out of the pond and ran away. They learned a lesson. They should not act like animals. They should respect other creatures and their homes. They should be kind and careful. They should be themselves. +Lily liked to sew. She had a box of thread in many colors. She used a needle to make things with the thread. She made a hat for her doll, a scarf for her teddy, and a pillow for her cat. + +One day, she found a weird thread in her box. It was shiny and sparkly. It changed colors when she moved it. Lily wanted to show it to her mom. She thought it was very pretty. + +She took the thread and the needle and went to the living room. She saw her mom reading a book on the couch. She said, "Mom, look what I found! It's a weird thread. Can I sew with it?" + +Her mom looked at the thread and smiled. She said, "That's not a thread, Lily. That's a tinsel. It's for decorating the Christmas tree. It's very pretty, but it's not good for sewing. It can break easily and hurt your fingers." + +Lily was surprised. She said, "Oh, I didn't know that. Can I keep it anyway? I like how it sparkles." + +Her mom said, "Sure, you can keep it. But be careful with it. Don't put it in your mouth or near your eyes. And don't let the cat play with it. He might swallow it and get sick." + +Lily said, "OK, mom. Thank you. I will be careful. Can I show it to my doll and my teddy and my cat?" + +Her mom said, "Yes, you can show it to them. But remember, it's not a thread. It's a tinsel." + +Lily said, "OK, mom. I will remember. It's a tinsel. A weird and pretty tinsel." She ran to her room with the tinsel and the needle. She showed it to her doll and her teddy and her cat. They all liked it very much. +Lily liked to spin. She spun on the grass, on the rug, on the chair. She spun until she felt dizzy and fell down. She laughed and got up to spin some more. + +One day, she saw a big pile of lumber in the yard. It was for building a new shed. Lily wanted to spin on the lumber. She climbed on top of the wood and started to spin. But the lumber was not smooth like the grass or the rug or the chair. It was rough and sharp and hard. It hurt Lily's feet and hands and clothes. + +Lily cried and stopped spinning. She wanted to get off the lumber, but she was too high and scared. She called for help. Her dad heard her and came running. He saw Lily on the lumber and felt sorry for her. He climbed up and gently picked her up. He hugged her and kissed her and said, "It's okay, Lily. You're safe now. Lumber is not for spinning. Lumber is for building. Let's go inside and get a band-aid and a cookie." + +Lily nodded and snuggled with her dad. She was glad he was there. She learned her lesson. She decided to spin on the grass, on the rug, on the chair, but not on the lumber. She still liked to spin, but she was more careful. She was a smart and happy girl. +Tommy was sick. He had a fever and a sore throat. He did not want to play or eat. His mommy gave him a pill to make him feel better. She said, "Tommy, you have to take this pill. It will help you fight the germs. Open your mouth and swallow it with some water." + +Tommy looked at the pill. It was white and round and had a funny smell. He did not like it. He said, "No, mommy, I don't want the pill. It is yucky. It will make me more sick." + +Mommy shook her head. She said, "No, Tommy, the pill is not yucky. It is medicine. It will not make you more sick. It will make you more well. Trust me, Tommy. I love you and I want you to be happy and healthy." + +Tommy still did not want the pill. He hid under his blanket and closed his eyes. He hoped mommy would go away and leave him alone. But mommy did not go away. She pulled the blanket away and held the pill in front of Tommy's face. She said, "Tommy, please, take the pill. It is not hard. Just put it in your mouth and drink some water. I have a cup of water for you right here. See? It is clean and fresh. Not like the filthy water in the pond. You don't want to drink that water, do you?" + +Tommy peeked at the cup of water. He remembered the pond. He had gone there with his daddy and his dog. He had seen the frogs and the fish and the ducks. He had also seen the dirt and the bugs and the trash. He had tried to drink some water from the pond, but his daddy had stopped him. He had said, "No, Tommy, don't drink that water. It is filthy. It has germs and dirt and bad things. It will make you sick. Drink this water instead. It is clean and good. It will make you thirsty and happy." + +Tommy thought about his daddy and his dog. He missed them. They had gone away for a few days. They had said they would come back soon. Tommy wanted to see them again. He wanted to play with them and hug them and tell them he loved them. He did not want to be sick. He wanted to be well. He looked at mommy and the pill and the water. He said, "Okay, mommy, I will take the pill. But only if you promise me daddy and dog will come back soon." + +Mommy smiled and hugged Tommy. She said, "I promise, Tommy, daddy and dog will come back soon. They love you very much. And so do I. Now, take the pill and drink some water. And then you can rest and sleep. And maybe tomorrow you will feel better." + +Tommy nodded and opened his mouth. He took the pill and drank some water. He made a face and said, "Blech, the pill is yucky. But the water is good. Thank you, mommy." + +Mommy kissed Tommy and said, "You're welcome, Tommy. You're a brave and good boy. I'm proud of you. Now, sleep well and dream of daddy and dog. And remember, I love you." + +Tommy closed his eyes and snuggled with mommy. He said, "I love you too, mommy. And I love daddy and dog. And I hope I feel better soon." + +Mommy said, "You will, Tommy, you will." And she sang him a lullaby until he fell asleep. +Tom and Lily are brother and sister. They like to play with their toys in the living room. But sometimes they fight over the same toy. Today, they both want the mighty lion. The mighty lion is big and yellow and has a loud roar. + +"I want the lion!" Tom says. He grabs the lion from Lily's hands. + +"No, I want the lion!" Lily says. She pulls the lion back. + +"Stop it!" Mom says. She comes into the living room. "You have to share the lion. It is not nice to fight." + +"But he took it from me!" Lily says. + +"But she had it for a long time!" Tom says. + +Mom sighs. She looks at the clock. "It is time for dinner. Why don't you put the lion away and come to the table? We have pizza and salad. You can play with the lion again after dinner." + +Tom and Lily look at each other. They love pizza and salad. They don't want to miss dinner. They nod and say sorry to each other. They put the lion on the shelf and run to the table. They sit down and talk about their day. They forget about the lion for a while. They are happy and hungry. They enjoy their dinner. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys, but they do not like to share. They are stubborn. They always want the same toy and they fight over it. + +One day, Mom gives them a new toy. It is a big truck with wheels and lights. Sara and Ben both want the truck. They grab it and pull it. They yell and cry. + +Mom says, "Stop! You have to share the truck. You can take turns. Sara, you can play with the truck for ten minutes. Then you have to give it to Ben. Ben, you can play with the truck for ten minutes. Then you have to give it back to Sara. Do you understand?" + +Sara and Ben nod. They do not like the idea, but they do not want to make Mom angry. They say, "Okay, Mom." + +Mom sets a timer. Sara plays with the truck first. She makes it go vroom and beep. She has fun. Then the timer rings. Mom says, "Sara, your time is up. Give the truck to Ben." + +Sara does not want to give the truck to Ben. She likes the truck. She says, "No, Mom. I want to play more." + +Mom says, "Sara, you have to share. You agreed to take turns. Ben is waiting. Give the truck to Ben, please." + +Sara looks at Ben. Ben looks at Sara. He says, "Please, Sara. I want to play too." + +Sara thinks. She remembers that Ben is her brother. She loves him. She decides to be nice. She says, "Okay, Ben. Here you go. You can play with the truck." + +She gives the truck to Ben. Ben smiles. He says, "Thank you, Sara. You are a good sister." + +Sara smiles too. She says, "You are welcome, Ben. You are a good brother." + +Mom is happy. She says, "Good job, Sara and Ben. You are learning to share. I am proud of you." + +Sara and Ben hug Mom. They say, "We love you, Mom." + +Mom says, "I love you too, Sara and Ben. You made my week." +Anna and Ben like to play in the garden. They have a big box with many toys. They include cars, dolls, balls and books. They share the toys and have fun. + +One day, they see something long and thin in the grass. It is a snake. The snake is green and brown. It has a tongue that goes in and out. Anna and Ben are curious. They want to touch the snake. + +"Hello, snake," Anna says. "Do you want to play with us?" + +The snake does not answer. It moves slowly in the grass. It looks peaceful. It does not bite or hiss. + +"Can we include the snake in our box?" Ben asks. "He can be our friend." + +Anna thinks for a moment. She shakes her head. "No, Ben. The snake does not belong in our box. He belongs in the garden. He likes the sun and the plants. He is happy here. We can visit him, but we cannot take him." + +Ben nods. He understands. He and Anna wave to the snake. They say goodbye. They go back to their box. They play with their toys. They are happy too. +Anna and Ben were friends who liked to sing songs. They sang songs at home, at school, and at the park. They knew many songs, but their favorite song was about a rainbow. + +One day, they went to the park to sing their rainbow song. They found a nice spot under a big tree and started to sing. But then, they had a problem. Anna wanted to sing the part about the red color, but so did Ben. They both said, "I want to sing the red part!" + +They argued and argued, and stopped singing. They were troubled and sad. They did not want to share the red part. They did not want to sing other parts. They did not want to be friends anymore. + +A bird was sitting on the tree and heard them. The bird liked their rainbow song and wanted them to sing again. The bird flew down and said, "Why are you not singing? Your song is so pretty and happy. Why are you troubled and sad?" + +Anna and Ben looked at the bird and said, "We are not singing because we both want to sing the red part. We do not want to share. We do not want to be friends." + +The bird said, "That is silly. The rainbow has many colors, not just red. All the colors are beautiful and important. You can sing the red part together, or take turns, or sing other parts. You can share and be friends. You can sing your rainbow song and be happy." + +Anna and Ben thought about what the bird said. They realized that the bird was right. The rainbow had many colors, and they liked all of them. They could sing the red part together, or take turns, or sing other parts. They could share and be friends. They could sing their rainbow song and be happy. + +They said, "Thank you, bird. You are very wise and kind. We are sorry for being silly. We will share and be friends. We will sing our rainbow song and be happy." + +They hugged each other and smiled. They started to sing their rainbow song again, with the bird joining them. They sang the red part, the orange part, the yellow part, the green part, the blue part, the indigo part, and the violet part. They sang loud and clear, and their song filled the park with joy. +Tom and Jen are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a ball, a bike and a kite. They have fun. + +One day, Tom sees a wallet on the grass. He picks it up. He opens it. He sees money and cards. He says, "Look, Jen, I found a wallet!" + +Jen comes over. She looks at the wallet. She says, "That is not your wallet, Tom. That is someone else's wallet. We should give it back." + +Tom says, "But I like the money. I can buy candy and toys. I want to keep it." + +Jen says, "No, Tom, that is wrong. That is stealing. The person who lost the wallet will be sad and worried. How would you feel if you lost your wallet?" + +Tom thinks. He remembers when he lost his ball. He was sad and cried. He says, "You are right, Jen. I would feel bad. We should give the wallet back. But how do we find the person?" + +Jen says, "Maybe we can ask the man at the park gate. He knows everyone who comes and goes. He can help us. Come on, let's hurry. Maybe the person is still here." + +Tom and Jen run to the park gate. They show the wallet to the man. He says, "Oh, thank you, kids. You are very kind and honest. This wallet belongs to Mrs. Lee. She was here with her dog. She must have dropped it. She was looking for it. She was very upset. She just left. I have her phone number. I will call her and tell her you found her wallet. She will be very happy and grateful. Maybe she will give you a reward." + +Tom and Jen smile. They feel good. They did the right thing. They don't need the money. They have each other. They have their ball, their bike and their kite. They have fun. They don't think the wallet is dull. They think it is important. They are glad they found it and gave it back. +Tom was sick. He had a hot head and a sore throat. He did not want to play or eat. He lay in his bed and felt sad. + +Mom came in with a thermometer. She said, "Tom, I need to check your temperature. This is a thermometer. It tells me how hot you are. Can you open your mouth and let me put it under your tongue?" + +Tom nodded and did what Mom said. He felt the thermometer in his mouth. It was cold and hard. He waited for Mom to take it out. + +Mom looked at the thermometer and said, "Oh, Tom, you have a fever. You need to drink some water and take some medicine. It will help you feel better." + +Tom made a face. He did not like medicine. It tasted bad. He said, "No, Mom, I don't want medicine. I want to stand up and go outside." + +Mom shook her head and said, "No, Tom, you can't stand up and go outside. You need to rest and stay in bed. Maybe later you can go outside and play with your friends. They are very friendly and they miss you. They made you a card and a picture. Do you want to see them?" + +Tom nodded and smiled. He liked his friends. They were very friendly and they made him happy. He said, "Yes, Mom, I want to see them. Thank you, Mom. You are very friendly too. I love you, Mom." + +Mom hugged Tom and said, "I love you too, Tom. You are a brave boy. Now, drink some water and take some medicine. Then you can see your friends' card and picture. They are on the table next to your bed. They are very nice and colorful. I hope you like them." + +Tom drank some water and took some medicine. He did not like them, but he did not complain. He wanted to feel better. He looked at his friends' card and picture. They were very nice and colorful. They had his name and some hearts and stars and flowers. They said, "Get well soon, Tom. We miss you. You are our friend." + +Tom felt happy. He had a friendly mom and friendly friends. He hoped he would get well soon and play with them again. He closed his eyes and fell asleep. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to travel with Mom and Dad. They go to many places in the car. Sometimes they see mountains, sometimes they see water, sometimes they see animals. + +One day, they travel to a big park. The park has many trees and rocks and flowers. Lily and Ben want to play and explore. They see a big rock with a crack. They want to look inside the crack. + +"Maybe there is a treasure in the crack," Lily says. + +"Or maybe there is a bug in the crack," Ben says. + +They go closer to the rock and peek inside the crack. They see something shiny and round. It is a coin. It is very old and dirty. + +"Wow, we found a treasure!" Lily says. + +"Let's take it home and make it clean," Ben says. + +They take the coin out of the crack and put it in their pocket. They are very happy. They run back to Mom and Dad and show them the coin. + +"Look what we found in the rock!" they say. + +Mom and Dad are surprised and proud. They tell Lily and Ben that the coin is very special. It is from a long time ago, when people used different money. They say that Lily and Ben are very lucky and smart. + +Lily and Ben smile and hug Mom and Dad. They are happy that they travel to the park and find the coin. They wonder what else they can find in other places. They like to travel and explore. +Lisa and Tom are playing with their toys in the living room. Lisa has a big truck that can go forward and reverse. Tom has a camera that can take photos. They are having fun making noises and pretending to be drivers and photographers. + +"Look, Lisa, I can take a photo of you and your truck!" Tom says. He points his camera at Lisa and presses a button. The camera makes a click sound and a photo comes out. + +"Wow, Tom, let me see!" Lisa says. She takes the photo and looks at it. She sees herself smiling and holding her truck. "I look happy!" she says. + +"You do, Lisa. You have a sweet smile," Tom says. He takes another photo of himself and his camera. "Do you want to see mine?" + +"Yes, please!" Lisa says. She gives him back his photo and takes his. She sees Tom grinning and holding his camera. "You look happy, too!" she says. + +They swap photos again and admire them. They decide to put them on the wall with tape. They are proud of their photos. + +"Can we play some more?" Lisa asks. + +"Sure, Lisa. What do you want to play?" Tom asks. + +"Let's play reverse!" Lisa says. She gets on her truck and pushes a button. The truck starts to move backwards. "Beep, beep, beep!" she says. + +"OK, Lisa. I'll follow you!" Tom says. He gets on his camera and pretends it is a car. He also pushes a button and moves backwards. "Beep, beep, beep!" he says. + +They laugh and play reverse, going around the living room. They are careful not to bump into anything. They are having a lot of fun. +Lily loved her cushion. It was pink and soft and had a picture of a unicorn on it. She always slept with it and hugged it when she was sad. It was her most delicate thing. + +One day, Lily went to the park with her mom and dad. She brought her cushion with her, because she wanted to show it to her friend Zoe. They played on the swings, the slide and the seesaw. They had a lot of fun. + +But when it was time to go home, Lily could not find her cushion. She looked everywhere, but it was gone. She felt very sad and scared. She started to cry. + +"Mom, dad, I lost my cushion!" she sobbed. + +"Oh, Lily, I'm so sorry," her mom said. "Maybe someone took it by mistake. Let's ask the other people in the park if they saw it." + +They asked everyone, but no one had seen Lily's cushion. Lily felt hopeless. She thought she would never see her cushion again. + +Then, she heard a familiar voice. + +"Lily, is this yours?" It was Zoe. She was holding Lily's cushion in her hands. She had found it under a bench. + +Lily ran to Zoe and hugged her. She was so happy and relieved. She thanked Zoe for finding her cushion. + +"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" she said. "You are the best friend ever!" + +Zoe smiled and said, "You're welcome, Lily. I'm glad you have your cushion back. It's very pretty and delicate. Just like you." +Sara and Tom were in the car with Mom and Dad. They were going to the park to play. Sara liked to look out the window and see the big pictures on the road. She asked Mom, "What are those?" + +Mom said, "Those are billboards. They are like signs that tell people about things they can buy or do." + +Sara nodded. She saw a billboard with a picture of a dog and some words. She tried to read them. She said, "Dog... food... makes... your... dog... happy?" + +Mom smiled. She said, "Yes, that's right. You are very good at reading, Sara." + +Tom, who was older than Sara, said, "That's easy. I can read better than you. Look, there is another billboard. It says, 'Come to the zoo and see the lions and the monkeys and the elephants.'" + +Sara looked at the billboard. She saw the animals, but she did not know the words. She felt embarrassed. She said, "I don't know those words. They are too hard." + +Mom said, "That's okay, Sara. You are still learning. You don't have to know all the words. You can ask me or Dad or Tom to explain them to you. We are here to help you." + +Sara felt better. She said, "Thank you, Mom. Can you explain what a lion is?" + +Mom said, "A lion is a big cat that lives in Africa. It has a mane and a roar. It is very strong and brave." + +Sara said, "Wow, a lion sounds cool. I want to see one at the zoo." + +Tom said, "Me too. Maybe we can hear it roar." + +Mom said, "Maybe we can. But first, we have to get to the park. Are you ready to have some fun?" + +Sara and Tom said, "Yes, we are!" + +They all smiled and enjoyed the ride. +Anna and Ben like to play with the board. The board has many colors and shapes. They can make pictures with the board. They can also write words with the board. + +One day, Anna and Ben want to make a picture of a house. They take turns to use the board. Anna draws a big square for the wall. Ben draws a triangle for the roof. Anna draws a circle for the door. Ben draws a square for the window. + +"Pass me the red pen, please," Anna says to Ben. "I want to draw a flower next to the door." + +"Here you go," Ben says and passes the red pen to Anna. He takes the green pen and draws a tree next to the window. + +They look at their picture and smile. They think it is brilliant. They show it to their mom and dad. Mom and dad think it is brilliant too. They hug Anna and Ben and say, "You are brilliant!" +Sam was miserable. He did not like the rain. He wanted to go outside and play with his ball, but his mom said no. She said he would get wet and cold. She gave him a book to read, but Sam did not want to read. He wanted to play. + +He looked out the window and saw a big puddle. It looked fun. He had an idea. He put on his boots and his coat and his hat. He opened the door and ran outside. He did not tell his mom. + +He jumped in the puddle and splashed. He laughed. He felt happy. He did not see his mom coming. She was angry. She grabbed his hand and pulled him inside. She said, "Sam, what are you doing? You are all wet and dirty. You did not listen to me. You are in trouble." + +Sam felt bad. He said, "I'm sorry, mom. I wanted to play. The puddle looked fun. I tried to have fun." + +His mom sighed. She said, "I know, Sam. But you have to follow the rules. The rain can make you sick. You have to stay inside until it stops. You can have fun with your toys or your books. Or we can play a game together. How about that?" + +Sam nodded. He said, "Okay, mom. I love you. Can we play hide and seek?" + +His mom smiled. She said, "I love you too, Sam. Yes, we can play hide and seek. You can hide first. I will count to ten. Ready, set, go!" + +Sam ran to find a good hiding spot. He felt better. He hoped his mom would not find him too soon. He liked to play with his mom. He thought maybe the rain was not so bad after all. +Tim and Ben were best friends. They liked to play soldier in the park. They had toy guns and hats and jackets. They pretended to fight bad guys and save the world. + +One day, they had a big plan. They wanted to sneak into the old house at the end of the street. They heard that it was haunted by a ghost. They wanted to see if it was true. They thought they were brave soldiers. + +They waited until it was dark. They put on their soldier gear and grabbed their flashlights. They walked to the old house. It looked scary and broken. They saw a sign that said "Keep Out". They ignored it. + +They opened the door and went inside. It was very dark and cold. They heard strange noises and saw shadows. They were scared, but they did not want to show it. They wanted to be brave soldiers. + +They walked around the house, looking for the ghost. They did not find it. They decided to go upstairs. They climbed the stairs, but they were old and weak. They broke under their feet. Tim and Ben fell down and hit their heads. They screamed, but no one heard them. They were hurt and trapped. They wished they never came to the old house. They were not brave soldiers. They were silly boys. +Tom and Lily wanted to go to the park. They liked to play on the swings and the slide. But it was raining outside. They were very sad and impatient. + +"Mom, when will the rain stop?" Tom asked. + +"Maybe in an hour, honey. Why don't you play with your toys or read a book?" Mom said. + +Tom and Lily did not want to play with their toys or read a book. They wanted to go to the park. They looked at the window and saw the rain falling. + +"Look, there is a photo on the table. It is a photo of us at the park. We were so happy and smiling. Do you remember?" Lily said. + +"Yes, I remember. It was a sunny day. We had ice cream and balloons. Can we go to the park now?" Tom said. + +"No, we can't. It is still raining. Maybe we can look at the photo and pretend we are at the park." Lily said. + +Tom and Lily took the photo and sat on the couch. They looked at the photo and tried to pretend they were at the park. But they were not happy. They were bored and angry. + +"I don't like this photo. It is not the same as the park. It is just a piece of paper. I want to go to the park now!" Tom said. + +He threw the photo on the floor. He stomped on it. He ripped it into pieces. + +"Tom, what are you doing? Stop it! That is our photo! Mom will be mad at you!" Lily said. + +She tried to stop Tom. But it was too late. The photo was destroyed. + +Mom heard the noise. She came to the living room. She saw the photo on the floor. She saw Tom and Lily on the couch. She was very mad. + +"Tom, Lily, what have you done? That was our photo! That was a special photo! It was a gift from Grandma! She is not with us anymore! How could you do this?" Mom said. + +Tom and Lily felt very bad. They knew they did something wrong. They knew they hurt Mom. They knew they lost Grandma's photo. They started to cry. + +They wished they had not been so impatient. They wished they had not ruined the photo. They wished they had listened to Mom. They wished they had been happy with what they had. But it was too late. The rain did not stop. The photo was gone. Mom was sad. And so were they. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big brown rabbit in the grass. The rabbit is eating a salad of green leaves and carrots. + +"Look, a rabbit!" Anna says. "He is so cute and fluffy!" + +"Can we pet him?" Ben asks. "Maybe he will share his salad with us." + +They walk slowly to the rabbit. They are very quiet and gentle. The rabbit looks at them with his big eyes. He does not run away. + +"Hello, rabbit," Anna says. "We are Anna and Ben. We want to be your friends. Can we touch your fur?" + +The rabbit nods. He lets Anna and Ben stroke his soft fur. He is not afraid of them. + +"Thank you, rabbit," Ben says. "You are very nice. Do you want to share your salad with us? We are hungry." + +The rabbit shakes his head. He does not want to share his salad. He likes his salad very much. He wants to eat it all by himself. + +"Please, rabbit," Anna says. "Sharing is good. If you share your salad with us, we will share our cookies with you. We have chocolate cookies in our backpack. They are very yummy." + +The rabbit thinks. He likes chocolate cookies. He has never tasted them before. He decides to share his salad with Anna and Ben. He moves his salad closer to them. + +"Okay, rabbit," Ben says. "You are very kind. Here are some cookies for you. They are very sweet and crunchy." + +He gives the rabbit some cookies from his backpack. The rabbit takes a bite. He likes the cookies very much. He makes a happy sound. + +Anna and Ben smile. They eat some salad and some cookies. They share their food with the rabbit. They are very happy. + +They have a picnic with the rabbit. They talk and laugh and play. They become good friends. They share their food and their fun. They have a wonderful day. +Lily loved jelly. She liked to eat it with bread and butter, or with ice cream, or by itself. She liked red jelly, green jelly, yellow jelly, any jelly. She always asked her mom for jelly when she was hungry. + +One day, Lily saw a big jar of jelly in the pantry. She wanted it very much. She climbed on a chair and reached for the jar. But it was too high. She could not get it. She was frustrated. She started to cry. + +Mom heard Lily crying and came to the pantry. She saw Lily on the chair, pointing at the jar of jelly. "What's wrong, Lily?" Mom asked. + +"I want jelly!" Lily said. "Give me jelly!" + +Mom did not like Lily's tone. She did not like that Lily was demanding jelly. She said, "Lily, you need to ask nicely. And you need to wait until lunchtime. You can't have jelly now. It's not good for you." + +Lily did not listen. She kept crying and demanding jelly. She kicked her legs and threw her arms. She made a big fuss. + +Mom was not happy. She took Lily off the chair and carried her to her room. She said, "Lily, you need a time-out. You can't act like this. You need to calm down and say sorry. Then maybe you can have some jelly later." + +Lily did not like her room. She did not like time-out. She did not like Mom. She still wanted jelly. But she knew she had to behave. She wiped her tears and took a deep breath. She said, "Mom, I'm sorry. I was bad. I love you. Can I have jelly later?" + +Mom heard Lily and smiled. She opened the door and hugged Lily. She said, "I love you too, Lily. You are a good girl. Yes, you can have some jelly later. But first, let's have some lunch. How about some soup and cheese?" + +Lily nodded. She liked soup and cheese. She followed Mom to the kitchen. She still loved jelly. But she loved Mom more. +Tim and Sam are friends. They like to play with their toys in the yard. Tim has a big club. He uses it to hit the ball. Sam has a small club. He tries to hit the ball, but he misses. + +"Let me try your club, Tim," Sam says. "Maybe I can hit the ball with it." + +"No, Sam, this is my club," Tim says. "You have your own club. Go away." + +Sam feels sad and angry. He wants to play with Tim's club. He thinks it is not fair. He waits until Tim is not looking. Then he runs to Tim's club and tries to grab it. + +But Tim's club is too big for Sam. He cannot reach it. He jumps and stretches, but he cannot touch it. He falls on the ground. He hurts his knee. He cries. + +Tim hears Sam's cry. He turns around and sees Sam on the ground. He sees his club. He understands what Sam did. He feels sorry for Sam. + +"Are you okay, Sam?" Tim asks. He runs to Sam and helps him up. "I'm sorry I was mean to you. You can try my club if you want." + +"Really?" Sam asks. He wipes his tears. He smiles. + +"Really," Tim says. He gives Sam his club. "But be careful. It is heavy." + +Sam takes Tim's club. He feels happy. He swings it and hits the ball. The ball flies far away. + +"Wow, Sam, you did it!" Tim says. He claps his hands. "You are good at this." + +"Thank you, Tim," Sam says. He gives Tim his club back. "You are a good friend." + +Tim and Sam hug. They are not frustrated anymore. They are happy. They play with their clubs and balls. They have fun. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big dog. The dog has a chain on its neck. The chain is long and shiny. + +Tom and Mia want to pet the dog. They walk to the dog. The dog is happy. It wags its tail and licks their hands. Tom and Mia giggle. They rub the dog's ears and belly. + +But then, the dog sees a squirrel. The dog barks and runs. The chain pulls Tom and Mia with the dog. They are scared. They try to let go of the chain, but it is too tight. They cry for help. + +A man hears them. He runs to them. He is helpful. He grabs the chain and stops the dog. He untangles Tom and Mia from the chain. He hugs them and asks if they are okay. + +Tom and Mia nod. They are okay. They thank the man. The man smiles. He says the dog is his. He says the dog is friendly, but likes to chase squirrels. He says he is sorry for the trouble. + +Tom and Mia say it is okay. They say the dog is cute. They say goodbye to the man and the dog. They hold hands and walk back to the park. They are happy. They are friends. +Anna likes to draw with her pen. She draws flowers and stars and cats on her paper. She is happy when she draws. + +One day, she goes to the park with her mom. She brings her pen and paper with her. She sees a big slide and wants to try it. She leaves her pen and paper on a bench and runs to the slide. + +But when she comes back, she sees a boy holding her pen. He is drawing on her paper. He is drawing big circles and lines and scribbles. He is ruining her paper. + +"Hey, that's my pen!" Anna says. She is angry and sad. She wants her pen back. + +"No, it's mine now!" the boy says. He is mean and rude. He does not want to give her pen back. + +Anna is frightened. She does not know what to do. She looks at her mom. Her mom sees what is happening. She walks to the bench and talks to the boy. + +"Excuse me, that pen belongs to Anna. She was drawing with it before. Can you please give it back to her?" her mom says. She is calm and firm. + +The boy looks at her mom. He sees that she is serious. He feels scared. He gives the pen back to Anna. + +"Sorry," he says. He runs away. + +Anna takes her pen and paper. She hugs her mom. + +"Thank you, mom," she says. She is happy again. + +She starts to draw a new picture. She draws a heart and writes "I love mom" on it. She gives it to her mom. + +Her mom smiles and kisses her. + +"I love you too, Anna," she says. They are happy together. +Lily wanted to give her mom a gift for her birthday. She looked around her room and saw her favorite scarf. It was pink and purple and had many stars on it. Lily thought it was very unique and pretty. She decided to use it as a wrap for her gift. + +She found a small box and put a shiny stone inside. She had found the stone in the park and liked how it sparkled in the sun. She thought her mom would like it too. She put the box in the middle of the scarf and tried to tie the ends together. But it was hard to make a knot. She asked her dad for help. + +"Dad, can you help me tie this wrap?" she said. + +"Sure, Lily. What are you doing?" he asked. + +"I'm making a gift for mom. It's her birthday tomorrow. Don't tell her, okay?" she said. + +"Okay, I won't tell her. That's very sweet of you, Lily. Here, let me show you how to tie a bow. You cross the ends like this, then pull one under the other, then make two loops and cross them again, and pull one through the hole. See?" he said. + +"Wow, you're good at tying, dad. Can I try?" she said. + +"Of course, you can try. Here, you hold the wrap and I'll guide your hands. Ready?" he said. + +They worked together and made a beautiful bow on the wrap. Lily was very happy and proud of her gift. She hugged her dad and thanked him. + +"Thank you, dad. I love you. I think mom will love this gift too. It's very unique, like her," she said. + +"I love you too, Lily. And I agree, mom will love this gift. It's very unique, like you," he said. +Lily and Tom like to play in the park. They have a ball, a bike and a net. They use the net to catch bugs and leaves. They put them in a jar and look at them. + +One day, they see a pond in the park. They have never seen it before. They run to the pond and discover many things. They see fish, frogs, ducks and water lilies. They are happy and excited. + +They want to catch some fish with their net. They lean over the pond and dip the net in the water. But the net is too big and heavy. It pulls them into the pond. Splash! + +Lily and Tom are wet and cold. They are not happy anymore. They cry and call for help. A kind lady hears them and comes to the pond. She helps them out of the water and gives them a towel. She tells them not to play near the pond without an adult. + +Lily and Tom say sorry and thank you. They learn a lesson. They go home with their jar and their net. They are still curious, but they are also careful. They promise to be more safe next time. +Lily and Tom were going to visit their grandma. They had to pack their bags with clothes and toys. Lily liked to pack her bag by herself. She put in her dress, her shoes, her doll and her book. + +Tom was not good at packing. He threw in his shirt, his pants, his car and his ball. He did not zip his bag. He saw a spider on the floor. He wanted to catch it and put it in his bag too. + +"Tom, no!" Lily shouted. "You can't take a spider to grandma's house. She will be scared and angry. Spiders are not toys. They are serious animals. They can bite you and make you sick." + +Tom did not listen. He ran after the spider. He tried to grab it with his hand. The spider was fast and smart. It ran away from Tom. It climbed on the wall and hid behind a picture. + +Lily ran to Tom and pulled him away. She zipped his bag for him. She told him to be careful and gentle with spiders. She said they were not bad, but they were not friends either. They had to leave them alone. + +Tom was sad. He wanted to play with the spider. He did not understand why Lily was so serious. He said sorry to Lily and hugged her. He said he loved her and he loved grandma too. + +Lily smiled and hugged him back. She said she loved him and she loved grandma too. She said they would have fun at grandma's house. They would play games, read stories and eat cookies. They would not need a spider. + +They took their bags and went to the car. Their mom and dad were waiting for them. They drove to grandma's house. They were happy and excited. They did not think about the spider anymore. The spider was happy and safe too. It stayed behind the picture. It spun a web and caught a fly. It did not think about Tom and Lily anymore. +Lily and Tom were twins who liked to play in the garden. They had a big cherry tree that gave them sweet red fruits. One day, they saw a bird with blue feathers and a yellow beak. It was sitting on a branch and pecking at the cherries. + +"Look, Tom, a bird!" Lily said. "It is pretty, but it is eating our cherries!" + +Tom frowned. He did not like the bird. He picked up a stone and threw it at the bird. "Go away, bird! Leave our cherries alone!" + +The bird flew away, but it dropped a cherry on the ground. It was fragile and it broke. The juice spilled on the grass and the seeds came out. + +Lily ran to the cherry and picked it up. She felt sad. She liked cherries and she did not want them to be hurt. She saw the seeds and had an idea. + +"Tom, look, we can plant the seeds and grow more cherry trees!" she said. "Then we will have more cherries and we can share them with the bird!" + +Tom thought about it. He liked cherries too, but he did not like the bird. He was afraid the bird would eat all their cherries. + +"But, Lily, the bird will come back and eat them all!" he said. "We have to protect our cherries!" + +Lily smiled. She had another idea. + +"Tom, we can make a scarecrow!" she said. "We can use some sticks and some old clothes and a hat. We can put it near the cherry tree and the bird will be scared and stay away!" + +Tom liked the idea. He helped Lily make the scarecrow. They used a stick for the body, a shirt for the chest, a pair of pants for the legs, a hat for the head, and some straw for the hair. They put the scarecrow near the cherry tree and looked at it. + +"Wow, Lily, it looks good!" Tom said. "The bird will never come back!" + +Lily nodded. She was happy. She hoped the bird would find other fruits to eat and not be hungry. She also hoped the seeds would grow and make more cherry trees. She loved cherries and she wanted to have more of them. She hugged Tom and they went to pick some cherries for their snack. +Tom and Lily liked to play music with their toys. Tom had a drum and Lily had a flute. They made a lot of noise and had fun. They had a rhythm that they followed. Tap, tap, tap, went Tom's drum. Toot, toot, toot, went Lily's flute. + +One day, a new boy moved in next door. His name was Ben. He had a guitar and he could play it very well. He came over to play with Tom and Lily. He showed them his guitar and played a song. It sounded very nice. Tom and Lily were envious. They wanted a guitar too. + +"Can I try your guitar?" Tom asked Ben. + +"No, it's mine. You have a drum. Play with that," Ben said. + +"Can I try your guitar?" Lily asked Ben. + +"No, it's mine.

"What if the water is wild and I can't catch it?" + +Joe laughed. "It's just water, Lucy. Don't worry. I'll show you how to catch it. See this cup? Just put it under the water and it will fill up with water.
