They never forgave themselves. They learned a hard lesson. They wished they had been more careful. They wished they had not scattered the tire. +Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play together. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big bottle filled with water and glitter. They called it their magic bottle, because it sparkled and swirled when they shook it. + +One day, they decided to spend the afternoon in the garden with their magic bottle. They took turns shaking it and watching the glitter dance. They pretended it was a fairy or a star or a snowflake. They were very happy and gentle with their bottle, because they did not want to break it. + +"Look, Anna, it's a rainbow!" Ben said, holding the bottle up to the sun. + +"Wow, it's so pretty!" Anna said, reaching for the bottle. + +But as they passed the bottle to each other, they did not see the big rock on the ground. Ben tripped over the rock and fell down. The bottle flew out of his hand and landed on the grass with a loud crack. + +"Oh no!" Anna cried, running to Ben. "Are you okay?" + +Ben rubbed his knee, which was scraped and bleeding. He nodded, but he looked very sad. He saw the bottle lying on the grass, broken and leaking. The water and glitter were spilling out, making a wet and shiny mess. + +"Our magic bottle!" Ben sobbed. "It's gone!" + +Anna hugged him and tried to comfort him. She felt sorry for him and for their bottle. She wished they could fix it, but she knew they could not. + +"I'm sorry, Ben," she said. "It was an accident. We still have each other, right?" + +Ben nodded again, wiping his tears. He hugged her back and smiled a little. + +"Right," he said. "We still have each other. And we can make a new magic bottle, right?" + +Anna smiled too. She nodded and kissed his cheek. + +"Right," she said. "We can make a new magic bottle. And we'll be more careful next time, right?" + +They both laughed and agreed. They got up and went inside to get a band-aid for Ben's knee and a new bottle for their magic. They learned a lesson that day, but they did not lose their fun. They still liked to play together, and they still loved their magic bottle. +One day, a blue hippo was walking by the river. He saw a baby bird that had fallen from its nest. The baby bird was crying and scared. The blue hippo felt sorry for the baby bird and wanted to help. + +"Hello, little bird. Why are you crying?" the blue hippo asked. + +"I fell from my nest and I can't fly. I miss my mommy and daddy," the baby bird said. + +"Don't worry, little bird. I can carry you back to your nest. Hop on my back and hold on tight," the blue hippo said. + +The baby bird was happy and thanked the blue hippo. He climbed on his back and held on to his ears. The blue hippo walked carefully to the tree where the nest was. He lifted his head and let the baby bird jump into the nest. + +"Thank you, blue hippo. You are very kind and strong," the baby bird said. + +"You're welcome, little bird. I'm glad you are safe and happy. Remember to be careful and stay in your nest until you can fly," the blue hippo said. + +The baby bird nodded and waved goodbye to the blue hippo. The blue hippo smiled and walked away. He felt good and proud for helping the baby bird. + +The moral of the story is: It is good to help others in need, no matter how different they are. +Anna liked to feed the ducks at the pond. She always brought some bread and threw it into the water. The ducks came and ate the bread and made happy noises. Anna smiled and clapped her hands. + +But one day, a big boy came and took Anna's bread. He said it was his and he ran away. Anna was sad and angry. She wanted her bread back. She followed the big boy and saw him hide behind a tree. He had a belt around his waist with many things on it. Anna saw her bread on his belt. + +Anna was brave and sneaky. She crept behind the big boy and grabbed her bread from his belt. The big boy felt something and turned around. He saw Anna and shouted. + +"Hey, give me that! That's mine!" + +"No, it's mine! You took it from me!" Anna said. + +They both pulled the bread and it tore in half. The big boy was mad and tried to hit Anna. Anna dodged and ran away. She ran back to the pond and threw the half bread to the ducks. The ducks came and ate the half bread and made happy noises. Anna smiled and clapped her hands. + +She had won. She had fed the ducks. She had her bread back. She did not like the big boy. He was mean and greedy. She hoped he would not come back. She liked the ducks. They were nice and hungry. She hoped they would come back. She would bring more bread for them. +Sara was a curious girl who liked to examine everything. She had a big box of toys in her room, but she always wanted to see what was in her mom's closet. One day, when her mom was busy in the kitchen, Sara sneaked into her bedroom and opened the closet door. She saw many pretty things, like dresses, shoes, and hats. But what caught her eye was a red velvet box on the top shelf. + +Sara climbed on a chair and reached for the box. She opened it and saw a shiny necklace with a big stone. She thought it was the most beautiful thing she had ever seen. She wanted to try it on, so she took it out of the box and put it around her neck. She looked at herself in the mirror and smiled. She felt like a princess. + +But then she heard her mom's footsteps coming closer. She got scared and tried to take off the necklace. But it was too tight and she couldn't undo the clasp. She panicked and pulled harder, but the necklace broke and the stone fell on the floor. She heard a loud crack and saw the stone split in two. She gasped and started to cry. + +Her mom entered the room and saw the mess. She was very angry and sad. She asked Sara what she had done and why she had touched her necklace. Sara sobbed and said she was sorry. She said she was curious and wanted to examine the necklace. She said she didn't mean to break it. + +Her mom sighed and hugged her. She said she understood that Sara was curious, but she should have asked before touching her things. She said the necklace was very special to her, because it was a gift from her grandma, who had passed away. She said the stone was very rare and valuable, and now it was ruined. She said she loved Sara, but she was very disappointed in her. + +Sara felt very bad and wished she could fix the necklace. She said she loved her mom and her grandma, and she would never touch her mom's things again without permission. She said she would try to be more careful and respectful. She asked her mom if she could forgive her. + +Her mom smiled and kissed her. She said she forgave her, but she hoped she learned her lesson. She said she would keep the broken necklace as a reminder of her grandma and of Sara's mistake. She said she would also look for a new necklace that they could share and enjoy together. She said she was proud of Sara for being honest and brave. She said they would always be a family, no matter what. +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They saw a big red flower with a shiny green stem. Lily wanted to smell it, but Ben said no. + +"That flower is poison. It can make you sick or die. Mama told me so," Ben said. + +Lily did not believe him. She thought he was lying. She wanted to touch the flower. She was not patient. She said to Ben, "You are silly. That flower is pretty. It is not poison. I will show you." + +She ran to the flower and picked it. She put it to her nose and sniffed. She smiled at Ben and said, "See? It smells nice. You are wrong." + +But then, she felt a sharp pain in her nose and mouth. She dropped the flower and screamed. Ben ran to her and saw blood coming out of her nose and mouth. He was scared. He shouted for Mama. + +Mama came and saw Lily and the flower. She knew what happened. She was angry and sad. She picked up Lily and ran to the car. She said to Ben, "Stay here. I will take Lily to the doctor. She ate poison. She may not live." + +Ben did not reply. He was shocked and sorry. He wished he had stopped Lily. He wished he had not lied. The flower was not poison. It was a rose. He had said it was poison because he wanted it for himself. He had been selfish and mean. Now, he had lost his sister. He cried and cried. He hated the flower. He hated himself. He learned a hard lesson. The end. +Tom and Lily were friends. They liked to play in the park near their homes. One day, they saw a big sign that said "West". Tom was curious. He wanted to see what was west. + +"Let's go west, Lily," he said. "Maybe we can find something fun." + +Lily was scared. She knew they were not allowed to leave the park. She shook her head. + +"No, Tom, we can't go west. Mom and Dad will be angry. They will worry about us. West is too far. We don't know what is there." + +Tom did not listen. He was foolish. He thought he was brave. He ran to the sign and followed the road west. He said to Lily, "Bye, Lily. I'm going west. You are a baby. You are afraid of everything." + +Lily was sad. She did not want to lose her friend. She did not want to be a baby. She wanted to be brave, too. But she also wanted to be good. She did not want to make Mom and Dad angry. She did not want to worry them. She stayed in the park and waited for Tom. + +Tom ran and ran. He saw many things he did not know. He saw big cars and big buildings and big people. He saw loud noises and bright lights and strange smells. He was confused. He was scared. He wanted to go back to the park. He wanted to see Lily. He wanted to see Mom and Dad. But he did not know how to go back. He did not remember the way. He was lost. + +He cried and cried. He wished he had listened to Lily. He wished he had not been foolish. He wished he had not left the park. He wished he had not gone west. He was sorry. He was lonely. He was sorry. +Lila and Ben are best friends. They like to play in the park every day. They have a lot of fun on the swings, the slide and the seesaw. They also like to gaze at the sky and look for shapes in the clouds. + +One day, they see a big truck in the park. It has a lot of equipment on it. Lila and Ben are curious. They run to the truck and peek inside. They see a lot of tools, wires and boxes. They wonder what they are for. + +"Hello, kids," a man says. He comes out of the truck. He is wearing a yellow helmet and a blue suit. He smiles at Lila and Ben. "Do you want to know what I'm doing?" + +"Yes, please," Lila and Ben say. They nod their heads. + +"I'm here to fix the lights in the park," the man says. "Some of them are broken and some of them are old. I need to replace them with new and reliable ones. That way, the park will be bright and safe at night." + +"Wow, that's cool," Lila and Ben say. They are impressed. + +"Can we help you?" Ben asks. He likes to help. + +"Sure, you can help me," the man says. He gives them each a small flashlight. "You can use these to check if the lights are working. Just point them at the lights and see if they turn on." + +"Okay, we can do that," Lila and Ben say. They take the flashlights and run to the nearest light. They point their flashlights at it and press the button. The light turns on. + +"Yay, it works!" Lila and Ben cheer. They clap their hands. + +"Good job, kids," the man says. He gives them a thumbs up. "You are very helpful. Let's go to the next one." + +Lila and Ben follow the man to the next light. They check it with their flashlights. They have a lot of fun helping the man fix the lights in the park. They feel proud and happy. They also learn a new word: reliable. +Tom and Sam were friends who liked to play with cars. They had many cars of different colors and sizes. They liked to make them speed on the floor and pretend they were racing. + +One day, Tom found a new car in his toy box. It was shiny and red, and it had a bulb on top. Tom was very happy and wanted to show it to Sam. He ran to Sam's house with the car in his hand. + +"Look, Sam, look at my new car!" Tom said. "It has a bulb that can light up!" + +Sam looked at the car and was confused. He had never seen a car with a bulb before. He wondered what it was for. + +"Can I see it?" Sam asked. + +"Sure, here you go," Tom said, and gave the car to Sam. + +Sam took the car and pressed a button. The bulb flashed and made a loud noise. Sam was scared and dropped the car. The car broke and the bulb fell off. + +"Oh no, what did you do?" Tom cried. "You broke my new car!" + +"I'm sorry, I didn't know it would do that!" Sam said. "I was just curious about the bulb!" + +Tom was angry and sad. He picked up the pieces of his car and the bulb. He ran back to his house and slammed the door. + +Sam felt bad and wanted to say sorry. He knocked on Tom's door, but Tom did not answer. Sam went home and thought about what he did. + +The next day, Sam came to Tom's house again. He brought a gift for Tom. It was a new car, just like the one he broke. He also brought some glue and a screwdriver. + +"Tom, can you please open the door?" Sam said. "I have something for you." + +Tom heard Sam's voice and opened the door. He saw the new car and the tools. + +"What is this?" Tom asked. + +"It's a new car for you, and some glue and a screwdriver to fix the old one," Sam said. "I'm really sorry I broke your car. I was confused by the bulb and I wanted to see what it did. I should have asked you first." + +Tom looked at Sam and smiled. He was happy that Sam was sorry and that he brought him a new car. He also liked the idea of fixing the old one. + +"Thank you, Sam," Tom said. "That's very nice of you. I forgive you. Do you want to help me fix the old car?" + +"Yes, I do," Sam said. "And can you show me how the bulb works?" + +"Sure, I can," Tom said. "But first, let's play with the new car. It can speed very fast!" + +Tom and Sam hugged and went to play with the cars. They learned to share and to ask before touching. They also learned that the bulb was a siren, and that it was for cars that helped people, like fire trucks and police cars. They had fun and stayed friends. + +The end. +Sara loves her cat, Lucky. Lucky is black and white and soft. Sara likes to touch Lucky and hug him. Lucky likes to purr and lick Sara. + +One day, Sara and Lucky go outside to play. They see a big tree with many birds. Lucky wants to catch a bird. He runs to the tree and jumps. Sara shouts, "No, Lucky, stop!" + +But Lucky does not stop. He climbs the tree and chases a bird. The bird flies away. Lucky tries to follow, but he slips and falls. Sara is scared. She runs to Lucky and picks him up. She checks if he is hurt. + +Lucky is not hurt. He is just scared and dirty. He meows and cuddles with Sara. Sara is happy. She says, "You are a silly cat, Lucky. You are lucky I love you so much. Let's go home and clean you up." + +Sara and Lucky go home. Sara washes Lucky and dries him. She gives him some food and water.

They saw a machine with many drinks. They wanted to get a drink from the machine. + +Lily said, "I want the pink drink. It looks yummy." + +Tom said, "I want the blue drink. It looks cool." + +They put a coin in the machine and pressed the buttons. But the drinks did not come out. The machine made a loud noise and shook. + +Lily and Tom were scared. They tried to get their coin back. But the coin was stuck. They could not get a drink or their coin. + +They started to cry. They wanted their drink and their coin. + +A man saw them crying. He came to help them. He said, "What is wrong, kids?" + +Lily and Tom said, "The machine is bad. It took our coin and did not give us a drink." + +The man looked at the machine. He said, "Oh, I see. The drinks are too big. They do not fit in the hole. That is why the machine is angry." + +He opened the machine and took out the drinks. He gave them to Lily and Tom. He said, "Here you go. You can have these drinks. They are good for you." + +Lily and Tom smiled. They said, "Thank you, mister. You are nice." + +They drank their drinks. They were happy. They liked the pink drink and the blue drink. They said, "Bye, mister." + +They left the machine and went to play. +Tom and Lily were playing in their room. They liked to pretend they were spies and look for hidden things. They had a big closet with many clothes and hangers. Sometimes they hid behind the clothes and tried to scare each other. + +"Tom, where are you?" Lily called. She looked around the room, but she could not see him. She opened the closet door and peeked inside. She saw a lot of hangers, but no Tom. + +"Boo!" Tom shouted. He jumped out from behind a coat and made Lily scream. He laughed and said, "I got you, Lily! You did not see me. I was hidden behind the hanger." + +Lily was not happy. She said, "That was not fair, Tom. You scared me too much. You do not belong in the closet. You belong with me. We are supposed to play together, not trick each other." + +Tom felt sorry. He said, "I am sorry, Lily. I was just having fun. You are right. We belong together. We are the best spies. Let's find something else to play. Maybe we can make a fort with the pillows and blankets." + +Lily smiled and said, "OK, Tom. That sounds fun. But no more hiding behind the hangers, OK?" + +Tom nodded and said, "OK, Lily. No more hiding behind the hangers. I promise." + +They hugged and went to make their fort. They had a lot of fun playing in their room. They were happy to belong to each other. +Lily and Ben were playing on the lawn. They liked to create things with sticks and stones and leaves. They made a house, a car, and a dragon. + +"Look at my dragon!" Lily said. "It has big teeth and a long tail. It can fly and breathe fire." + +"That's not a dragon," Ben said. "That's a silly pile of leaves. My car is better. It has wheels and a horn. It can go fast and beep." + +Lily felt angry. She did not like Ben's words. She thought her dragon was beautiful. She wanted to make Ben feel uncomfortable. + +She picked up a stick and poked Ben's car. She made a hole in it. She said, "Now your car is broken. It can't go anywhere. It can only beep." + +Ben felt sad. He did not like Lily's action. He thought his car was cool. He wanted to make Lily feel sorry. + +He picked up a stone and threw it at Lily's dragon. He made a dent in it. He said, "Now your dragon is hurt. It can't fly or breathe fire. It can only cry." + +Lily felt pain. She did not like Ben's stone. She thought her dragon was strong. She wanted to make Ben feel scared. + +She picked up a leaf and waved it at Ben. She said, "My dragon is not hurt. It is angry. It will chase you and bite you. You better run." + +Ben felt fear. He did not like Lily's leaf. He thought her dragon was fake. He wanted to make Lily feel silly. + +He picked up a stone and threw it at Lily. He said, "Your leaf is not a dragon. It is a leaf. It can't chase or bite me. You better stop." + +Lily and Ben both felt hurt. They did not like each other's stones. They thought their creations were fun. They wanted to make each other feel happy. + +They looked at each other and said, "Sorry." + +They put down their sticks and stones and leaves. They hugged and said, "Friends." + +They played on the lawn. They liked to create things together. They made a house, a car, and a dragon. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play outside. They meet every day in the park. They run, jump, and laugh. + +One day, winter comes. It is very cold. The park is white with snow. Lily and Ben are happy. They want to make a snowman. They roll big balls of snow and stack them up. They find a hat, a scarf, and a carrot for the snowman. + +But then, a big dog comes. It is black and furry. It barks loud. It runs to the snowman. It bites the hat, the scarf, and the carrot. It knocks down the snowman. Lily and Ben are scared. They cry. + +"Go away, bad dog!" Ben shouts. "Leave our snowman alone!" + +But the dog does not listen. It jumps on Ben. It scratches his face. It hurts him. Lily screams. She runs to help Ben. She throws snow at the dog. + +A man comes. He is the dog's owner. He calls the dog. He puts a leash on it. He says sorry to Lily and Ben. He takes the dog away. + +Lily and Ben are sad. They look at their snowman. It is broken. They look at Ben's face. It is bleeding. They hug each other. They go home. They do not play in the park anymore. They do not like winter. They do not like dogs. The end. +Lily wanted to bake a cake for her mom. Her mom was in the hospital for an operation. Lily missed her mom a lot and wanted to make her happy. + +She asked her dad to help her bake the cake.

I want to bake a cake for mom. She will like it. She will smile. Please, dad, please." + +Her dad looked at her. He saw her big eyes and her small hands. He felt sorry for her. He said, "Okay, okay. We will bake a cake. But we have to go to the store first. And we have to clean up after. And we have to be quick. We have to go to the hospital soon." + +Lily was happy. She hugged her dad. She said, "Thank you, dad, thank you. You are the best dad. I love you." + +They went to the store and bought eggs and flour and sugar and frosting. They went back home and baked the cake.

You are the best family. I love you." + +Lily and dad smiled. They hugged mom. They ate the cake together. They were not grumpy anymore. They were happy. +Anna loves to read books. She has many books in her room. She likes books with animals, colors, and shapes. Every night, she picks a book to read with her mom. + +Tonight, she chooses a book about a puppy.

They liked to see the animals and help with the chores. One day, they saw a big, elderly cow in the barn. She was very old and slow, but she was still kind and gentle. + +"Can we pet her, grandpa?" Ben asked. + +"Sure, but be careful. She might be a bit grumpy today," grandpa said. + +Ben and Lily approached the cow slowly and gently. They stroked her soft fur and scratched her ears. The cow mooed softly and licked their hands. + +"Can we ride her, grandpa?" Lily asked. + +"No, no, she's too old for that. She needs to rest and eat her hay," grandpa said. + +"But we can spin with her, right?" Ben asked. + +"Spin with her? What do you mean?" grandpa asked. + +Ben and Lily giggled and ran around the cow in circles. They pretended they were spinning like a merry-go-round. The cow watched them with curiosity and amusement. She wagged her tail and mooed again. + +"Look, grandpa, we're spinning with the cow!" Ben and Lily shouted. + +Grandpa smiled and shook his head. He was glad to see them having fun. He joined them and spun with them too. The cow, the children, and the grandpa spun and laughed together. They had a wonderful time on the farm. +Ben and Mia were playing in the park. They saw a big hill with many ants. Ben wanted to catch some ants and put them in a jar. Mia did not like that idea. + +"Ben, stop! Ants are not toys. They have a home and a family. They work hard and help each other. They are polite bugs. You should not hurt them," Mia said. + +"But I want to see them up close. They are so small and fast. They have six legs and two feelers. They are cool bugs. I will not hurt them, I promise," Ben said. + +Mia shook her head. She did not trust Ben. She knew he was not gentle with bugs. She had seen him squash a spider and a fly before. She did not want him to do the same to the ants. + +"Ben, listen to me. If you want to see the ants, you can watch them from here. You can clap your hands and make them run. You can count how many ants you see. You can learn their names and colors. But you cannot catch them or touch them. That is not nice. That is mean," Mia said. + +Ben thought for a moment. He liked to clap his hands and make noise. He liked to count and learn new things. He did not want to be mean. He wanted to be nice. He wanted to be polite, like the ants. + +"Okay, Mia. You are right. I will not catch the ants. I will watch them and clap and count and learn. Thank you for being my friend and teaching me," Ben said. + +Mia smiled. She was happy that Ben listened to her. She was proud of him for being polite. She hugged him and said, "You are welcome, Ben. You are my friend and I love you. Now let's watch the ants and have fun." +Sara and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park every day. They liked to swing, slide and run. But their favorite thing was to spin on the merry-go-round. + +One day, Sara had a new dress. It was pink and had flowers on it. She was very happy. She wanted to show Ben her new dress. She ran to the park and found Ben on the swing. + +"Look, Ben, look at my new dress!" Sara said. "It is so pretty and it spins when I turn around!" + +Ben looked at Sara's dress. He liked it too. He wanted to make Sara happy. He had an idea. + +"Let's spin on the merry-go-round together!" Ben said. "I promise it will be fun!" + +Sara smiled. She liked Ben's idea. She liked to spin with Ben. She agreed. + +"Okay, let's spin!" Sara said. "But you have to hold my hand and not let go!" + +Ben nodded. He held Sara's hand and they ran to the merry-go-round. They climbed on and started to spin. They laughed and shouted. They felt the wind in their hair and the sun on their faces. They were very cheerful. + +They spun and spun until they were dizzy. They stopped and got off. They hugged each other and thanked each other. + +"That was the best spin ever!" Sara said. "You are the best friend ever!" + +"You are the best friend ever too!" Ben said. "And you have the best dress ever!" + +They smiled and held hands. They made a promise to spin again tomorrow. They were very happy. +Tom and Mia are playing with their toy cars in the garden. They like to make them zoom and crash and honk. But Mia's car is old and broken. It has a big dent and a missing wheel. Mia is sad. + +"Can you repair my car, Tom?" Mia asks. "You are good at fixing things." + +Tom nods and takes Mia's car. He looks for a spare wheel and a hammer. He tries to make the car look new again. But he needs something else. He needs oil. + +"Where is the oil?" Tom wonders. He remembers that Dad has oil in the garage. He runs to the garage and opens the door. He sees a big bottle of oil on a shelf. He tries to reach it, but it is too high. + +"Hey, what are you doing?" a voice says. It is Ben, Tom's older brother. He is bossy and mean. He likes to tease Tom and Mia. + +"I need oil for Mia's car," Tom says. "Can you help me?" + +"No, I can't," Ben says. "That oil is not for toys. It is for Dad's car. You can't touch it. Go away." + +"But Mia's car is broken," Tom says. "She is sad. I want to repair it." + +"I don't care," Ben says. "You are a baby. You can't play with oil. It is dirty and dangerous. You will make a mess. Leave me alone." + +Ben pushes Tom away and slams the door. Tom falls down and hurts his knee. He cries. Mia hears him and runs to him. + +"What happened, Tom?" Mia asks. "Are you okay?" + +"Ben is mean," Tom says. "He won't let me get the oil. He says it is not for toys. He says I am a baby." + +Mia hugs Tom and wipes his tears. She is angry at Ben. + +"You are not a baby, Tom," Mia says. "You are my friend. You are brave and smart. We don't need oil. We can use something else. Come on, let's go to the kitchen. I have an idea." + +Mia and Tom go to the kitchen. They find some butter and some glue. They use them to repair Mia's car. They make it shiny and smooth. They are happy. + +"Look, Tom, you did it!" Mia says. "You repaired my car. Thank you. You are the best." + +Tom smiles and hugs Mia. They go back to the garden and play with their cars. They have fun. They don't care about Ben and his oil. They have each other. They are friends. +Anna liked to lay on the grass and look at the sky. She saw many shapes in the clouds. She saw a dog, a fish, a star and a heart. She smiled and felt happy. + +She heard a voice behind her. It was Ben, her friend from next door. He came to play with her. He lay down next to her and looked at the clouds too. He saw a car, a ball, a moon and a flower. He pointed and said their names. + +Anna and Ben liked each other. They thought the other was attractive. They had the same color hair and eyes. They liked the same games and songs. They held hands and giggled. + +They heard another voice. It was Anna's mom. She called them for lunch. They got up and ran to the house. They were hungry and excited. They knew mom had made their favorite food. They thanked her and ate with big smiles. + +They finished their lunch and asked mom if they could go back to the grass. Mom said yes, but they had to wear hats and sunscreen. They agreed and put them on. They ran back to the grass and lay down again. They looked at the clouds and each other. They were happy. +Sam is a bald man who likes to jog every day. He wears a hat to keep his head warm and a watch to see how fast he runs. He likes to jog in the park where he can see the trees, the birds and the flowers. + +One day, he meets a little girl in the park. She has long curly hair and a pink dress. She is holding a balloon that is red and shiny. She sees Sam and says hello. + +"Hello, little girl. What is your name?" Sam asks. + +"My name is Lily. What is your name?" she answers. + +"My name is Sam. I like your balloon. It is very pretty," he says. + +"Thank you. I like your hat. It is very nice," she says. + +Sam smiles and says, "Do you want to jog with me? It is fun and good for you." + +Lily nods and says, "Yes, I want to jog with you. But I have to hold my balloon. I don't want to lose it." + +"OK, then. Let's jog together. But be careful. Don't let the balloon fly away," he says. + +They start to jog in the park. They jog slowly at first, then faster and faster. Sam looks at his watch and sees that his speed is increasing. He is happy and proud. He says to Lily, "You are a good jogger. You are making me run faster." + +Lily laughs and says, "You are a good jogger too. You are making me run faster too." + +They jog and jog until they reach the end of the park. They stop and catch their breath. They look at each other and smile. They are both happy and tired. They say goodbye and thank each other for the jog. + +Sam puts his hat back on and walks home. Lily holds her balloon and walks home too. They both think that they have made a new friend in the park. They both hope to see each other again. +Sara liked to play with her pig. His name was Pinky and he was very big and soft. Sara would feed him apples and carrots and hug him every day. Pinky was happy and loved Sara too. + +One day, Sara wanted to show Pinky to her friend Tom. She put a rope around Pinky's neck and tried to lead him to Tom's house. But Pinky did not want to go. He was scared of the cars and the dogs and the noise. He pulled and squealed and ran away. + +Sara was sad and worried. She ran after Pinky and called his name. She hoped he would not get hurt or lost. She looked everywhere, but she could not find him. + +Then she heard a loud oink. She followed the sound and saw Pinky in a field. He was eating some corn and playing with some cows. He looked happy and safe. Sara was very grateful. She ran to Pinky and hugged him. She said sorry for making him scared. She said she loved him very much. + +Pinky oinked and licked her face. He said sorry for running away. He said he loved her very much too. Sara and Pinky walked back home. They were very happy and grateful. They never tried to lead each other again. They were happy to play in their own yard. +Sam and Ben are brothers. They like to play with gear. Gear is a toy that has many parts. You can make different things with gear. Sam and Ben have a big box of gear. + +One day, they want to make a robot with gear. They take out many parts from the box. They start to put them together. Sam has an idea. He says, "Let's make the robot talk. We need a voice box." + +Ben nods. He says, "OK. Where is the voice box?" He looks in the box. He cannot find it. He says, "Oh no. We don't have a voice box. What can we do?" + +Sam thinks. He says, "I know. We can order a voice box. We can use the phone. We can call the toy store. They have voice boxes. They can send us one." + +Ben agrees. He says, "Good idea. Let's do that." He picks up the phone. He dials the number of the toy store. He waits for someone to answer. + +"Hello, this is the toy store. How can I help you?" a voice says. + +Ben says, "Hello. We want to order a voice box. We need it for our robot. We are making a robot with gear. Can you send us one?" + +The voice says, "Sure. We have voice boxes. They are very cool. They can make your robot say different things. How many do you want?" + +Ben says, "We only need one. How much is it?" + +The voice says, "It is five dollars. Do you have a credit card?" + +Ben says, "No. We don't have a credit card. We have money. We have ten dollars. Can we pay with money?" + +The voice says, "Yes. You can pay with money. But you have to come to the store. We cannot send you the voice box. You have to pick it up." + +Ben says, "Oh. OK. We can come to the store. But we have to ask our mom. She has to drive us. Can you hold the voice box for us?" + +The voice says, "Yes. We can hold the voice box for you. But you have to come soon. We close at five o'clock. What is your name?" + +Ben says, "My name is Ben. And this is my brother Sam. We are serious about making a robot. We really want the voice box." + +The voice says, "OK, Ben and Sam. I will keep the voice box for you. But hurry up. Come to the store before five o'clock. Bye." + +Ben says, "Bye." He hangs up the phone. He tells Sam what the voice said. Sam says, "Let's go ask mom. She will take us to the store. We will get the voice box. We will make the robot talk. It will be awesome." + +Ben and Sam run to find their mom. They tell her about their plan. She smiles. She says, "OK. Let's go to the toy store. But first, put the gear back in the box. We don't want to lose any parts. We will finish the robot when we come back." + +Ben and Sam do what their mom says. They put the gear back in the box. They get ready to go to the toy store. They are very excited. They can't wait to get the voice box. They can't wait to make the robot talk. They hope the toy store still has it. They hope they get there on time. They hope their robot will be the best. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play in the forest near their house. One day, they find a big pine tree with many cones. They want to pick some cones to make crafts. + +"Look, Ben, this cone is big and brown!" Anna says. She holds a cone in her hand. + +"Wow, Anna, it is nice! I want one too!" Ben says. He looks around for another cone. + +He sees one on a high branch. He tries to reach it, but it is too far. He steps on a low branch to get closer. But the branch is weak and breaks. Ben falls to the ground with a thud. + +"Ben, are you okay?" Anna asks. She runs to him and helps him up. + +"I'm okay, Anna, but that hurt!" Ben says. He rubs his knee and his elbow. They are red and sore. + +"I'm sorry, Ben. That was a bad branch. Let's go home and get a band-aid," Anna says. She gives him a hug and a kiss. + +"Okay, Anna. Thank you. You are a good sister," Ben says. He smiles and hugs her back. + +They walk home, holding hands. They are slow and careful. They do not step on any more branches. They still have their cones. They are happy. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a man with many balloons. The balloons are red, blue, yellow, green and pink. They are big and round and shiny. + +"Look, balloons!" Tom says. "I want a balloon. Do you want a balloon, Lily?" + +"Yes, I want a balloon too," Lily says. "But we have no money. How can we get a balloon?" + +Tom thinks for a moment. He has an idea. He runs to the man and says, "Hello, sir. Can you give me a balloon, please?" + +The man smiles and says, "Sure, little boy. You can have a balloon. But you have to do something for me. You have to tell me a joke. Can you tell me a joke?" + +Tom nods. He likes jokes. He says, "Why did the chicken cross the road?" + +The man says, "I don't know. Why did the chicken cross the road?" + +Tom says, "To get to the other side!" + +The man laughs and says, "That's a good joke. You can have a balloon. Which one do you want?" + +Tom looks at the balloons. He sees one that is different from the others. It is not normal. It is not round. It is long and twisted. It looks like a dog. + +"I want that one," Tom says. "The one that looks like a dog." + +The man says, "OK, you can have that one. But be careful. It is not a normal balloon. It is a special balloon. It can do tricks. Watch this." + +The man squeezes the balloon and makes a sound. The balloon dog barks and wags its tail. Tom is amazed. He says, "Wow, that's cool. Thank you, sir." + +The man says, "You're welcome. Have fun with your balloon dog." + +Tom takes the balloon dog and runs back to Lily. He shows her his balloon. Lily is surprised. She says, "That's not a normal balloon. That's a balloon dog. How did you get it?" + +Tom says, "I told the man a joke and he gave it to me. He said it can do tricks. Look." + +Tom squeezes the balloon and makes a sound. The balloon dog barks and wags its tail. Lily laughs. She says, "That's funny. I like your balloon dog. Can I play with it?" + +Tom says, "Sure, you can play with it. But you have to tell me a joke too. Can you tell me a joke?" + +Lily thinks for a moment. She has an idea. She says, "What do you call a fish that wears a bow tie?" + +Tom says, "I don't know. What do you call a fish that wears a bow tie?" + +Lily says, "Sofishticated!" + +Tom laughs and says, "That's a good joke. You can play with my balloon dog. But don't let it pop. It is not a normal balloon. It is a special balloon." + +Lily says, "OK, I won't let it pop. Thank you, Tom." + +Tom and Lily play with the balloon dog in the park. They have a lot of fun. They are happy. They are friends. +Lily liked to play with her copper coins. She had many of them in a jar. She liked how they shone and made noise when she shook them. She also liked to count them and sort them by size. + +One day, her big brother Tom came into her room. He saw her jar of coins and said, "Can I have some of your coins, Lily? I need them for the candy store." + +Lily did not want to give her coins to Tom. She said, "No, they are mine. I like them. Go away." + +Tom was angry. He said, "You are selfish, Lily. You have too many coins. You don't need them all. I only want a few. Give me some or I will tell mom." + +Lily was scared. She did not want Tom to tell mom. She did not understand why he wanted her coins. She said, "Please, Tom, don't tell mom. Why do you need my coins? They are not candy. They are copper." + +Tom said, "Copper is money, Lily. You can buy candy with money. Don't you know that? You are silly. You should learn how to use money. Here, I will show you. Give me some coins and I will teach you." + +Lily was curious. She wanted to learn how to use money. She wanted to buy candy too. She said, "OK, Tom, I will give you some coins. But not all of them. Only a few. And you have to teach me how to use them." + +Tom smiled. He said, "OK, Lily, I will teach you. But you have to be tidy. You have to put your coins back in the jar when we are done. And you have to say thank you." + +Lily nodded. She said, "OK, Tom, I will be tidy. And I will say thank you. But you have to be nice. And you have to share the candy." + +Tom agreed. He said, "OK, Lily, I will be nice. And I will share the candy. Come on, let's go to the candy store." + +Lily and Tom took some coins and went to the candy store. They learned how to use money and bought some candy. They shared the candy and ate it happily. They put the coins back in the jar and said thank you to each other. They were both happy. They understood each other better. +Sara and Lily were twins. They liked to play in the park with their ball. They wore pretty dresses that their mom made for them. They had long, curly hair and big, blue eyes. + +One day, they saw a big slide in the park. They wanted to try it. They ran to the slide, holding hands. Sara went first. She climbed up the ladder and sat on the slide. She smiled at Lily and said, "Watch me, Lily! I'm going to slide down fast!" + +Lily watched her sister. She saw Sara slide down the slide. She saw Sara go too fast. She saw Sara stumble at the end of the slide. She saw Sara fall on the ground. She saw Sara hit her head on a rock. + +Lily screamed. She ran to Sara. She saw blood on Sara's head. She saw Sara's eyes closed. She shook Sara and said, "Sara, Sara, wake up! Please, Sara, wake up!" + +But Sara did not wake up. Sara was still. Sara was quiet. Sara was gone. Lily cried and cried. She wished she had not let Sara go first. She wished they had not played on the slide. She wished they had stayed with their ball. She wished Sara was still with her. She wished she was not alone. +Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a cute bunny in the grass. The bunny was white with black spots and had long ears. + +"Look, a bunny!" Lily said. "Can we pet it?" + +"I don't know," Tom said. "Maybe it is scared of us." + +They decided to observe the bunny from a distance. They saw that it was eating some green leaves and hopping around. They also saw a bird flying over the bunny and making a loud noise. + +"Shoo, bird!" Lily shouted. "Leave the bunny alone!" + +The bird flew away, but the bunny got startled and ran into a hole. Lily and Tom felt sad. They wanted to see the bunny again. + +"Maybe we were too loud," Tom said. "We should be quiet and gentle when we see animals." + +"Yes, you are right," Lily said. "Animals are not toys. They have feelings too." + +They learned to respect the bunny and other animals. They hoped to see the bunny again someday, but they knew they had to be careful and kind. +Lily was an adventurous girl who liked to explore new things. One day, she saw a big tree with many bees buzzing around it. She wondered if there was honey inside the tree. She loved honey on her toast and in her tea. + +She walked closer to the tree and saw a hole where the bees went in and out. She was curious and brave, so she decided to peek inside. She climbed on a rock and put her eye near the hole. She stared at the dark and sticky inside of the tree. + +Suddenly, she felt a sting on her cheek. A bee had come out of the hole and did not like her staring. It hurt a lot and Lily cried out loud. She ran away from the tree and looked for her mom. + +"Mom, mom, a bee bit me!" she sobbed, holding her cheek. + +"Oh, Lily, what happened?" her mom asked, hugging her and looking at her face. + +"I wanted to see the honey in the tree, but the bee was angry and bit me," Lily explained, sniffing. + +Her mom kissed her cheek and said, "I'm sorry, Lily, but you can't look for honey in the bee's home. That's their food and they protect it. You have to be careful and respectful of the animals and their homes. Do you understand?" + +Lily nodded and said, "I understand, mom. I'm sorry, bee. I won't stare at your home again." + +Her mom smiled and said, "That's good, Lily. Now let's go home and put some ice on your cheek. And maybe we can have some honey on toast later, okay?" + +Lily smiled and said, "Okay, mom. I love you." + +"I love you too, Lily. You are my adventurous girl." +Lily liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls with different dresses and hair. She gave them names and made them talk. She was happy when she played with her dolls. + +One day, she saw some kids playing in the park. They had a ball and a swing and a slide. They looked like they were having fun. Lily wanted to play with them, but she was shy. She did not know how to join them. + +She took one of her dolls and walked to the park. She sat on a bench and watched the kids. They saw her and smiled. They looked friendly. One of them, a boy with a red cap, came to her and said, "Hi, I'm Ben. What's your name?" + +"I'm Lily," she said softly. + +"That's a nice doll you have. What's her name?" Ben asked. + +"Her name is Anna. She's my favorite," Lily said. + +"Can I see her?" Ben asked. + +Lily nodded and handed him her doll. Ben looked at her and said, "She's very pretty. Do you want to play with us? We have a ball and a swing and a slide. You can bring your doll too." + +Lily smiled and said, "Yes, I want to play with you. Thank you for asking." + +Ben took her hand and led her to the group. He introduced her to the other kids. They welcomed her and offered her to share their toys. Lily felt happy and made new friends. She played with them and her doll. She had a lot of fun. She was glad she met Ben and the group. They were very friendly. +Tim and Lily were playing with their toy cars on the floor. They made noises like vroom and beep as they moved their cars around. They liked to pretend they were driving to different places. + +"Let's go to the park!" Lily said. She drove her car towards the door. + +"Okay!" Tim said. He followed her with his car. But he was clumsy and bumped into a chair. His car fell over and he cried. + +"Ow! That hurt!" Tim said. He rubbed his knee. + +Lily stopped and came back to him. She saw his car on the floor. She picked it up and gave it to him. + +"Here, Tim. It's okay. Don't cry." Lily said. She hugged him. + +Tim smiled and hugged her back. He took his car and looked at it. It was not broken. + +"Thank you, Lily. You are a good sister." Tim said. + +They decided to settle on the couch and watch some cartoons. They put their cars on the table and cuddled with a blanket. They liked the motion and the colors on the screen. They were happy. +Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big pile of newspapers on the bench. They wonder what they are for. + +"Look, Tom, newspapers!" Sue says. "Maybe we can read them." + +"Or maybe we can make hats!" Tom says. He picks up a newspaper and folds it. He puts it on his head. "See, I'm a pirate!" + +Sue laughs. She makes a hat too. She puts it on her head. "And I'm a princess!" + +They run around the park, pretending to be pirates and princesses. They have fun. But they don't know that the newspapers belong to someone else. + +Mr. Lee is an old man. He sells newspapers every day. He works hard. He is generous. He gives some newspapers to people who have no money. He also gives some newspapers to the birds. He likes to feed them. + +He leaves his newspapers on the bench while he goes to the shop. He buys some bread for the birds. He comes back to the bench. He sees Tom and Sue playing with his newspapers. He is angry. + +"Hey, you kids, stop that!" he shouts. "Those are my newspapers! You are ruining them!" + +Tom and Sue are scared. They drop the newspapers. They run away. They feel sorry. + +Mr. Lee picks up the newspapers. He sees that they are torn and dirty. He is sad. He can't sell them anymore. He can't feed the birds either. + +He sits on the bench. He sighs. He wonders what to do. + +Then he sees a small note on the ground. It is from Tom and Sue. It says: + +"Dear Mr. Lee, we are sorry we played with your newspapers. We didn't know they were yours. We hope you are not too mad. We want to say thank you for being generous. We have something for you. Please look under the bench. Love, Tom and Sue." + +Mr. Lee looks under the bench. He sees a bag of bread. It is for him and the birds. He smiles. He feels happy. + +He takes the bread and the note. He goes to find Tom and Sue. He wants to say thank you too. He hopes they are still in the park. He thinks they are good kids. He thinks they can be friends. +Sara liked to play with her mom's magazines. She liked to look at the pictures of people and animals and things. She liked to cut them out and make collages. She liked to pretend she was in the magazine. + +One day, she found a magazine that was different. It had a big word on the cover: REVERSE. She did not know what it meant, but she liked how it sounded. She opened the magazine and saw more words and pictures. But they were all backwards. She thought it was funny and strange. + +She showed the magazine to her mom. "Look, mom, this magazine is reverse!" she said. + +Her mom looked at the magazine and smiled. "Yes, it is, Sara. This is a special magazine for people who read from right to left, not from left to right. It's called a Hebrew magazine. It's from a different country and a different language." + +Sara was curious. "Can you read it, mom?" she asked. + +Her mom nodded. "Yes, I can, Sara. I learned Hebrew when I was a little girl, like you. Do you want me to read you a story from the magazine?" + +Sara was glad. She loved stories. She nodded and hugged her mom. "Yes, please, mom. Read me a reverse story!" + +Her mom opened the magazine and found a story. It was about a boy who had a magic hat that could make him travel in time. She read the story to Sara, who listened with wonder and excitement. She liked the reverse story. She liked the reverse magazine. She liked learning new things. She liked her mom. +Jenny loved peaches. She liked to bite them and feel the juice run down her chin. She liked to smell them and think of summer. She liked to hold them and feel their soft fuzz. + +One day, Jenny saw a big basket of peaches on the kitchen table. She wondered if she could have one. She climbed on a chair and reached for the basket. But she was not careful and knocked it over. The peaches rolled all over the floor. + +"Oh no!" Jenny cried. She heard her mom coming. She knew she was in trouble. She tried to pick up the peaches, but they were filthy. They had dirt and dust and hair on them. Some of them had bruises and cuts. Jenny felt sad and scared. + +"What happened here?" her mom asked. She saw the mess and the peaches. She saw Jenny holding a peach in her hand. She looked angry. + +"Jenny, did you do this?" she asked. + +Jenny nodded. She wanted to tell her mom that she was sorry and that she loved peaches. But she could not find the words. She just held the peach and looked at her mom. + +Her mom sighed. She was not really angry. She was just tired and worried. She knew that Jenny was curious and hungry. She knew that Jenny did not mean to make a mess. + +She hugged Jenny and said, "It's okay, honey. I know you like peaches. But you have to ask before you take them. And you have to be careful not to drop them. They are not good to eat when they are filthy. They can make you sick." + +She took the peach from Jenny's hand and threw it in the trash. She picked up the other peaches and put them back in the basket. She washed them and wiped them. She gave one to Jenny and said, "Here, this one is clean and ripe. You can have it. But only one, okay? We have to save some for later." + +Jenny smiled and said, "Thank you, mom. I love you. And I love peaches." + +She bit the peach and felt the juice run down her chin. She smelled it and thought of summer. She held it and felt its soft fuzz. She was happy. +Tim and Sam were friends who liked to play in the park. They had a big bucket and a shovel to make sand castles. They also had a lunch box with two sandwiches and two apples. + +One day, they saw a big hill of sand near the swings. They ran to the hill and started to dig and pile up the sand. They wanted to make a very high sand castle. They worked hard and had fun. + +"Look, our sand castle is almost as high as the swings!" Tim said. + +"Yes, it is amazing! Let's make it even higher!" Sam said. + +They added more and more sand to the top of the castle. They did not notice that they were using the sand from their bucket. They also did not notice that their lunch box was open and some sand got inside. + +They were so busy that they forgot to eat. They were hungry and thirsty. They decided to take a break and have their sandwiches and apples. + +They went to their lunch box and opened it. They saw that their sandwiches were covered with sand. They tried to shake off the sand, but it was too late. The sand was mixed with the bread and the cheese and the ham. They looked at their apples and saw that they were also sandy. + +"Yuck! Our sandwiches are ruined!" Tim said. + +"And our apples too!" Sam said. + +They felt sad and angry. They had no food to eat. They looked at their sand castle and realized what they had done. + +"We were so silly! We used all our sand to make our sand castle and we did not close our lunch box. Now we have no sand and no food!" Tim said. + +"We should have been more careful and more grateful. We had a good lunch, but we wasted it. We had a nice bucket, but we emptied it. We had a fun game, but we spoiled it." Sam said. + +They learned a lesson that day. They learned to appreciate what they have and to take care of it. They learned to mix sand and water, but not sand and food. They learned to make high sand castles, but not higher than their needs. +Lily and Tom were best friends. They liked to play in the park and look for shiny things. One day, they found a big diamond on the grass. It sparkled like a star. + +"Wow, look at this!" Lily said. "It is so pretty!" + +"Can I see?" Tom asked. He took the diamond and held it up to the sun. It made a rainbow on his hand. + +"Let's dance with it!" Lily said. She took Tom's hand and they spun around. They felt jolly and happy. + +A lady saw them and smiled. She walked over to them and said, "Hello, children. That is a very nice diamond you have. Where did you find it?" + +"We found it on the grass!" Lily said. "It is ours!" + +The lady nodded. She said, "Well, I have a surprise for you. That diamond is actually part of a necklace that I lost. It is very special to me. But I am glad you had fun with it. How about I give you a reward for finding it?" + +Lily and Tom looked at each other. They liked the diamond, but they also wanted to be kind. They said, "Okay, what is the reward?" + +The lady reached into her purse and pulled out two lollipops. She gave one to Lily and one to Tom. She said, "Thank you for being honest and helpful. You can keep the lollipops and enjoy them. And you can also keep the diamond for a little while longer. But then you have to give it back to me, okay?" + +Lily and Tom nodded. They said, "Thank you, lady. You are very nice." + +They hugged the lady and gave her the diamond. Then they ran to the swings and ate their lollipops. They still felt jolly and happy. They had a good day. +One day, a chubby squirrel named Nibbles was looking for acorns in the park. He saw a big tree with many acorns on its branches. He climbed up the tree and picked an acorn with his teeth. He was very happy and wanted to show his friend, a brown bunny named Fluffy. + +He ran down the tree and looked for Fluffy. He saw him near a pond, eating some grass. He called out, "Fluffy, Fluffy, look what I have!" + +Fluffy looked up and saw Nibbles with an acorn in his mouth. He waved his paw and said, "Hi, Nibbles, what do you have?" + +Nibbles ran to Fluffy and said, "I have an acorn, Fluffy, a big and tasty acorn. Do you want to share it with me?" + +Fluffy smiled and said, "Yes, Nibbles, I would love to share it with you. You are very kind and generous. Thank you, Nibbles." + +Nibbles and Fluffy sat down and nibbled on the acorn together. They enjoyed the acorn and each other's company. They were very good friends. +Anna and Ben are playing in the classroom. They see a big desk that belongs to the teacher. The desk is high and has many things on it. + +"Let's measure the desk," Ben says. He has a ruler in his hand. "Maybe we can reach it." + +Anna nods. She likes to measure things. She and Ben stand next to the desk and try to lift the ruler. But the desk is too high for them. They cannot touch it with the ruler. + +"Maybe we can climb on the chair," Anna says. She points to a chair near the desk. "Then we can measure the desk." + +Ben agrees. He puts the ruler on the chair and climbs on it. Anna follows him. They stand on the chair and hold the ruler. They can reach the desk now. + +"One, two, three, four, five, six," Ben counts. He moves the ruler along the edge of the desk. "The desk is six rulers long." + +Anna looks at the other edge of the desk. She wants to measure how wide it is. She moves the ruler across the desk. "One, two, three, four," she counts. "The desk is four rulers wide." + +They are happy. They have measured the desk. They smile at each other. + +"Good job, Anna and Ben," a voice says. They turn around and see the teacher. She is smiling too. "You are very good at measuring. But you should be careful. The chair is not very stable. You could fall and hurt yourself." + +Anna and Ben feel a little scared. They did not know the teacher was watching them. They did not ask for permission. They climb down from the chair and put the ruler back. + +"Sorry, teacher," they say. "We just wanted to measure the desk. It is very high." + +The teacher nods. She is not angry. She is proud of their curiosity. She hugs them and says, "I understand. Measuring is fun. But next time, please ask me first. I can help you measure the desk safely. And I can show you other things you can measure too." + +Anna and Ben nod. They say, "Thank you, teacher. We will ask you next time. We want to learn more about measuring." + +The teacher smiles. She takes their hands and leads them to the bookshelf. She shows them a book about measuring. She says, "Let's read this book together. It has many pictures and words about measuring. You will like it." + +Anna and Ben are excited. They love books. They sit on the floor with the teacher and open the book. They start to read and learn about measuring. They have fun. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play with a big ball. They bounce the ball to each other and laugh. One day, they find a new ball in the park. It is shiny and colorful. They want to play with it. + +"Can we bounce this ball?" Tom asks. + +"I don't know. Maybe it belongs to someone else," Lily says. + +"Who cares? It looks fun. Let's bounce it," Tom says. + +He takes the ball and bounces it hard. But the ball is not reliable. It pops and makes a loud noise. Tom and Lily are scared. They drop the ball and run away. + +A man comes and sees the broken ball. He is sad. It was his ball. He was going to tell a story with it to his son. He had painted the ball with pictures of animals and places. He had worked hard on it.

They felt sorry. + +"Sorry, Mom, we did not know," Lily said. + +"Sorry, Mom, we just wanted to play," Ben said. + +They gave the iron to Mom. Mom hugged them and said, "It's okay, I love you. But you have to be careful. The iron is for making clothes smooth, not for playing. Come on, let's go inside. I'll make you some juice and cookies. Then we can all take a nap. I'm very sleepy." + +Lily and Ben nodded. They followed Mom inside. They drank some juice and ate some cookies. They said thank you to Mom. Then they went to their beds. They were sleepy too.

What did you give me, Sam?" + +Sam looked at the bottle. He saw a picture of a lemon on it. He realized his mistake. + +"I'm sorry, dad. I thought it was mustard. It looked like mustard," Sam said. + +Dad was angry. He glared at Sam. + +"You should have read the label, Sam. You embarrassed me in front of our guests. They are waiting for their food.

It lets them touch its wing. + +"Your wing is hurt," Lila says. "We need to take you to the vet. The vet can make you better." + +She picks up the bird gently and puts it in her bag. Tom holds the bag. They walk to the vet. They hope the bird will be okay. They are happy. They are kind. They are friends. +Anna liked to wear her pink dress. It was her favorite dress.

He liked to make things with his toys, but he wished he had someone to share them with. + +One day, he saw a big truck outside his house. It had a lot of boxes in it. He wondered what was inside. He ran to the truck and saw a man carrying a box. He asked him, "What is in the box?" + +The man smiled and said, "It is butter. I am bringing it to the store. Do you like butter?" + +Tom nodded. He liked butter on his bread. He said, "Can I see the butter?" + +The man said, "Sure, but be careful. It is heavy." He put the box down and opened it. Tom saw many yellow sticks of butter. He reached for one and tried to pull it out. + +But the butter was slippery and cold. It slipped from his hand and fell on the ground. Tom felt sad. He said, "I am sorry. I broke the butter." + +The man said, "It is okay. It is not your fault. Butter is hard to hold. Here, take this one. It is not broken."

They wanted to see how it felt. + +"Let's go and get it!" Ben said. He ran towards the balloon. Anna followed him. + +But the balloon was not in the park. It was over the fence. The fence was high and sharp. There was a sign on the fence. It said: "Danger. Do not enter." + +"Ben, stop!" Anna said. "We can't go there. It's not safe. It's not our place." + +Ben did not listen. He climbed the fence. He cut his hand on the wire. He cried out loud. + +Anna was scared. She wanted to help Ben. But she did not climb the fence. She stayed on the ground.

Now let's go home and have some dinner." + +They got up and walked to the exit. On the way, they saw a lot of trash on the floor. Popcorn, candy wrappers, cups, and napkins. Lily and Max said, "Wow, the theater is messy. Who made this mess?" Mom and Dad said, "Some people are not very careful or polite. They leave their trash behind and don't clean up after themselves. That's not nice, is it?" Lily and Max said, "No, it's not nice. It's rude and dirty. We don't do that, right?" Mom and Dad said, "Right. We always throw our trash in the bin and keep our places clean. That's the right thing to do." Lily and Max said, "Yes, it is. We are good kids." Mom and Dad said, "Yes, you are. We love you very much." They hugged and kissed and left the theater. +Lily was a little girl who liked to play with her toys. She had a doll, a car, a ball and a belt.

You can't have it!" + +Lily was angry and sad. She tried to pull the belt from Tom, but he was stronger. They started to fight over the belt.

"Why are you fighting?" + +Lily and Tom stopped fighting. They looked at their mom. They felt ashamed. + +"We were fighting over the belt," Lily said. + +"It's my belt!" Tom said. + +"No, it's mine!" Lily said. + +Mom shook her head. She was not happy. + +"Listen to me," she said. "The belt is not important. What is important is that you love each other and share your things. Fighting is not nice. It hurts your feelings and makes you unhappy. Do you understand?" + +Lily and Tom nodded. They understood. + +"I'm sorry, Lily," Tom said. "You can have your belt back. I was being selfish." + +"I'm sorry, Tom," Lily said. "You can play with my belt if you want. I was being greedy." + +They hugged each other and said sorry.

He runs to Sara's tower and pushes it. Sara's tower falls down too. Sara is shocked and mad. She cries and shouts. + +"Ben, why did you do that? You are bad and rude. You broke my tower. You have no class. Go away from me!" + +Ben feels sorry and ashamed. He knows he did a bad thing. He did not want to hurt Sara. He just wanted to make her see him. He says to Sara. + +"Sara, I am sorry. I did not mean to break your tower. I was just jealous and upset. You are good at matching the blocks. I am poor at matching the blocks. Can you teach me how to match the blocks? Can we be friends again?" + +Sara stops crying and shouting. She looks at Ben. She sees that he is sorry and ashamed. She thinks for a moment. She says to Ben. + +"Ben, I am sorry too. I did not mean to be mean and bossy. You are not bad and rude. You are just different and curious. I can teach you how to match the blocks.

It is not a toy. You should not spin it. You should be careful with books. They are precious." + +"I'm sorry, Mom," Ben says. "I just wanted to spin it. It looked fun. I didn't know it was your novel. I didn't mean to make it not tidy." + +Mom sighs and hugs him. She is not angry anymore. She knows he is sorry. She kisses his head and says, "It's okay, Ben. I forgive you. But next time, please ask me before you touch my things. And please don't spin books. They are not for spinning. They are for reading and learning and dreaming. Do you understand?" + +Ben nods and says, "I understand, Mom. I won't spin books anymore. I will read them with you. Can you read me this novel?" + +Mom smiles and says, "Maybe when you are older, Ben. This novel is too hard for you now. But I can read you another book. A book that is for you. A book that has spinning in it. Do you want that?" + +Ben smiles and says, "Yes, Mom. I want that. I love you, Mom." + +"I love you too, Ben," Mom says.

They say sorry to each other. But it is too late. The loop is gone. The end. +Lily and Max were twins who liked to play together. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big train set. They could make the train go fast or slow, and stop at different stations. + +One day, their mom said they had to share the train set with their cousin Ben, who was coming to visit. Lily and Max did not like this idea. They wanted the train set all for themselves. They made a plan to hide the train set under their bed, and pretend they did not have it. + +When Ben arrived, he was very happy to see Lily and Max. He asked them what they wanted to play. Lily and Max whispered to each other, and said they only had some ordinary toys, like blocks and dolls. They hoped Ben would not ask about the train set. + +But Ben was very smart.

We want them!" + +The driver is angry and tries to take the fake animals from Sara and Ben. But then, their mom and dad come to the barn. They see what is happening and talk to the driver. They explain that Sara and Ben are very attached to the fake animals and ask if they can buy them from him. The driver thinks for a moment and agrees. He says, "OK, OK, you can have them. But you have to pay me for them. They are not cheap, you know." + +Sara and Ben are very happy and thankful. They run to their mom and dad and hug them. They say, "Thank you, thank you, thank you! You are the best mom and dad ever! We love you and we love our pets!" + +They pay the driver and he leaves. Sara and Ben take the fake animals to their room and play with them some more.

It did not move. + +"Hello, starfish," Sara said. "Are you sleeping?" + +Suddenly, they heard a loud voice behind them. + +"Hey, kids, get away from there!" It was a man in a blue shirt. He was holding a fishing rod. "That starfish can hurt you. And the tide is coming in. You'll get wet." + +Sara and Ben turned around. They saw the water was getting higher and higher. The rocks were almost covered. + +"Who are you?" Ben asked. + +"I'm Sam, the fisherman," the man said. "I'm here to warn you. The starfish has sharp spines. It can sting you. And the tide is very fast. It can sweep you away. You have to go back to the shore." + +Sara and Ben were scared. They did not want to get stung or swept away. They ran back to the shore. They thanked Sam for warning them. + +"Be careful, kids," Sam said. "The beach is fun, but you have to watch out for the tide and the animals. They can be dangerous." + +Sara and Ben nodded. They learned a lesson. They decided to play with their sand castles and shells instead. They did not go near the rocks or the water again. They were happy and safe. +Lily and Ben are playing outside. They see a big ant on the lawn. The ant is carrying a leaf. Lily and Ben want to see where the ant is going. + +"Look, Ben, the ant is so strong!" Lily says. "It can carry a leaf bigger than its head!" + +"Wow, Lily, you are right!" Ben says. "Let's follow the ant and see its home!" + +Lily and Ben run after the ant. They see it go under a rock. They lift the rock and see many ants. The ants are busy carrying leaves, sticks and seeds. + +"Hello, ants!" Lily says. "We are Lily and Ben. We want to be your friends!" + +But the ants do not answer. They are scared of Lily and Ben. They think they are big and loud. They run away and hide. + +"Uh-oh, Lily, I think we scared the ants!" Ben says. "Maybe we should leave them alone." + +"OK, Ben, let's go back to the lawn and play something else." Lily says. "Maybe we can find a butterfly or a worm!" + +Lily and Ben put the rock back and run to the lawn. They are happy to play outside and see new things. They do not bother the ants anymore. +Ben and Lily were going to the park with Mom. They liked the park. It had swings and slides and a big pond with ducks. They put on their hats and shoes and got in the car. + +But on the way, they saw a lot of cars and trucks. They were not moving. Mom said there was a delay. Ben and Lily did not know what a delay was. They asked Mom. + +"A delay is when something takes longer than you want," Mom said. "There is a problem on the road and we have to wait until it is fixed." + +Ben and Lily did not like waiting. They wanted to play at the park. They felt bored and sad. They looked out the window and saw nothing fun. + +Then Lily saw something. She pointed and said, "Look, Ben! A spot!" + +Ben looked and saw a spot too. It was a red spot on a white truck. It looked like a big dot. + +"Wow, a spot!" Ben said. "Do you see any more spots, Lily?" + +Lily looked around and saw another spot. It was a yellow spot on a blue car. It looked like a star. + +"Yes, a spot!" Lily said. "Do you see any more spots, Ben?" + +Ben and Lily started to look for more spots. They saw spots of different colors and shapes. They saw spots on signs and buildings and trees. They counted the spots and named the spots and made stories about the spots. They had fun with the spots. + +Mom smiled and said, "You are very clever, Ben and Lily. You found a nice way to pass the time. I'm proud of you." + +Ben and Lily smiled back and said, "Thank you, Mom. We love you." + +Soon, the delay was over and the cars and trucks started to move. Ben and Lily were happy. They were going to the park. They wondered if they would see any spots there. +Tom is a man who likes to protect animals. He works at a farm with many cows, sheep, pigs and chickens.

Come on, Spot, let's go!" + +Tom and Spot run to the fields. They find the cows and the sheep. They make noises to tell them to follow. The cows and the sheep listen to Tom and Spot. They walk to the barn. Tom opens the door and lets them in. He gives them some hay and some blankets. He says: "There you go, friends. You are safe and cozy now. Don't be scared of the rain." + +Tom and Spot go back to the fields. They find the pigs and the chickens. They make noises to tell them to follow. The pigs and the chickens listen to Tom and Spot. They walk to the barn. Tom opens another door and lets them in. He gives them some corn and some pillows. He says: "There you go, friends. You are dry and happy now. Don't worry about the wind." + +Tom and Spot are tired and wet. They go to the house. They take off their clothes and their shoes. They dry themselves with towels. They put on new clothes and new shoes. They sit on the sofa. They hug each other. They say: "We did a good job, Spot. We protected the animals. We are good friends. We love each other." They smile and fall asleep. +Lily was a little girl who liked to play in the woods. She had a big flashlight that she used to see in the dark. One night, she saw a bright light moving among the trees. She was curious and followed it. + +She came to a clearing and saw a fox. The fox had a shiny collar around its neck that made it glow. Lily thought it was pretty and wanted to touch it. She said, "Hello, fox. Can I be your friend?" + +The fox was scared and ran away. It did not like the flashlight or the noise. It wanted to be free and quiet. It said, "No, no, go away. You are too loud and bright. You hurt my eyes and ears." + +Lily was sad and confused. She did not mean to scare the fox. She turned off her flashlight and said, "I'm sorry, fox. I just wanted to play with you. You have a nice collar. Where did you get it?" + +The fox stopped and looked back. It felt sorry for Lily. It said, "I got it from a bad man. He put it on me and tried to catch me. He wanted to sell me to a zoo. But I escaped and ran away. The collar is dull and heavy. It makes me sick and tired. I wish I could take it off." + +Lily felt sorry for the fox. She said, "That's awful, fox. Maybe I can help you. I have a tool in my backpack that can cut the collar. Do you want me to try?" + +The fox nodded and came closer. Lily took out her tool and carefully cut the collar. It fell off and stopped glowing. The fox felt lighter and happier. It said, "Thank you, Lily. You are very kind and brave. You are my friend." + +Lily smiled and hugged the fox. She said, "You're welcome, fox. You are very smart and fast. You are my friend too." + +They played together for a while and then said goodbye. Lily went back to her home and the fox went back to its den. They both slept well and dreamed of each other. +Anna and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to smell the flowers and look for bugs. Anna saw a big pot with some green plants. She asked Ben, "What are these?" + +Ben said, "These are herbs. Mommy uses them to make food. She says they are expensive and we should not touch them." + +Anna was curious. She wanted to see how the herbs smelled. She reached for the pot, but Ben stopped her. He said, "No, Anna, don't touch them. Mommy will be angry." + +But Anna did not listen. She pulled the pot and it fell on the ground. The herbs spilled out and some of them touched Anna and Ben. Suddenly, they felt very strange. They looked at each other and screamed. They had shrunk! + +They were now as small as the bugs. They saw a big ant crawling towards them. They were scared. They ran away, but they did not know where to go. They wished they had listened to Ben and not touched the herbs. They hoped Mommy would find them and make them big again. +Tim and Lily were playing with their toys. They had many toys of different colors and shapes. They liked to sort their toys into groups. Tim sorted his toys by color. He had a red group, a blue group, a yellow group, and so on. Lily sorted her toys by shape. She had a circle group, a square group, a star group, and so on. + +They were having fun until they started to argue. Tim said his way of sorting was better. Lily said her way of sorting was better. They both wanted to have the most toys in their groups. They did not want to share or play together. They started to grab and pull each other's toys. + +Their mom heard them and came to see what was wrong. She saw the mess and the angry faces. She said, "Why are you fighting over your toys? You have so many toys to enjoy. You can sort them in different ways and learn new things. You can also share and play together and have more fun. Don't you know that being kind and helpful is more important than having a victory?" + +Tim and Lily felt sorry for their behavior. They realized that their mom was right. They said, "We are sorry, mom. You are wise. We will not fight over our toys anymore. We will sort them in different ways and share and play together. We will be kind and helpful to each other." + +Their mom smiled and hugged them. She said, "That's good, my children. I am proud of you. Now, let's clean up this mess and then we can have some cookies and milk." + +Tim and Lily nodded and smiled. They helped each other to put their toys back in their boxes.

Tim said. "It is so big and shiny. I want to go on it." + +"But we can't go on it, Tim," Sue said. "It is not our boat. We have to stay on the shore. Mom and Dad said so." + +"I don't care what Mom and Dad said," Tim said. "I want to see the boat. Come on, Sue, let's swim to it." + +Tim ran into the water and started to swim. Sue was scared, but she followed him. She did not want to be alone on the shore. The water was cold and deep, and the boat was far away. Tim and Sue got tired and hungry, but they kept swimming. + +They did not see the big wave that came behind them. It was a very big wave, and it was very fast. It crashed on Tim and Sue and pushed them under the water. They could not breathe, and they could not see. They tried to call for help, but no one heard them. The boat did not see them either. It sailed away, and left them behind. + +Tim and Sue never made it to the boat. They never made it back to the shore. They never saw Mom and Dad again. They were gone. +Lila and Ben were playing with blocks in the living room. They wanted to build a big tower, but they had different ideas. Lila liked to measure the blocks with a ruler and make sure they were all the same size. Ben liked to stack the blocks any way he wanted and make funny shapes. + +"Ben, you have to measure the blocks first!" Lila said. "Or the tower will fall down!" + +"No, I don't!" Ben said. "I can build it how I like! It's more fun!" + +They started to argue and push each other. They knocked over the tower and the blocks flew everywhere. Some of them hit the lamp and the vase on the table. They broke with a loud crash. + +Mom heard the noise and came running. She saw the mess and the broken things. She was very angry. She gave Lila and Ben a harsh look. + +"What did you do?" she asked. "You know the law in this house. No fighting and no breaking things!" + +Lila and Ben felt sorry and scared. They knew they had done something bad. They hung their heads and said in a small voice: + +"We're sorry, Mom. We were playing with blocks and we had a fight. We didn't mean to break anything." + +Mom sighed and shook her head. She told them to clean up the mess and go to their rooms. She said they would have no TV or dessert for a week.

They touched the trophy gently. + +"Wow, Sam. You are very fast!" Anna said. + +"Thank you, Anna. I practiced a lot," Sam said. + +"Can I hold it?" Ben asked. + +"Sure, Ben. But be careful. It is heavy," Sam said. He gave the trophy to Ben. Ben lifted it with both hands. He felt proud. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud noise. It was thunder. Anna and Ben were scared.

We didn't mean to," Ben said. + +Sam looked at his broken trophy. He was sad. But he was also kind. He saw that Anna and Ben were scared. He hugged them. + +"It's okay, Anna and Ben. It was an accident. I'm not mad at you. You are still my friends," he said. + +"Really?" Anna and Ben asked. + +"Really. Come on, let's go downstairs. Mom will make us some hot chocolate.

I need some sugar." + +He reached for the sugar bowl on the table, but Mimi jumped on it and knocked it over. Sugar spilled everywhere. Mimi ran away, leaving a trail of white crystals. + +"Oh, no!" Lily said. "Mimi is naughty!" + +Grandpa laughed and said, "Don't worry, Lily. It's just sugar. We can clean it up later. Let's finish the story first." + +Lily nodded and hugged grandpa.

Did you get hurt?" + +Sara and Ben told Mommy what happened. Mommy said, "Oh, you poor things. You should have listened to Sara, Ben. She was right. The dog was fierce and dangerous. You should never go near a strange dog without asking the owner first. You could have been hurt worse. Next time, be more careful and respectful of animals." + +Sara and Ben nodded and said, "We're sorry, Mommy. We learned our lesson. We will be more careful and respectful of animals." + +Mommy kissed them and said, "I'm glad you're okay. I love you both very much.

Come, let's go back to your room and find another rubber band." + +Lily and her mom went back to her room. They picked up the doll and the broken rubber band. They found a new rubber band that was not too tight. They made a braid in the doll's hair and tied it with the rubber band. The doll looked pretty again. + +Lily smiled and said, "Thank you, mom. You are the best. I love you and I love my doll." + +Her mom kissed her and said, "You're welcome, Lily. I love you too. Now, why don't you play with your doll and have some fun?" +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with crayons and draw pictures. Lily has a red crayon and Ben has a blue crayon. They draw a big heart on a white paper. + +Lily says, "This is for you, Ben. I like you very much." She gives him the paper with the heart. + +Ben smiles and says, "Thank you, Lily. I like you too." He gives her a hug and a kiss on the cheek. + +Lily feels happy and warm. She kisses him back on the cheek. + +But then, they hear a loud noise. It is Lily's big brother, Tom. He is angry and mean.

They think it is loud and scary and hurtful. They don't want to play with hard toys. They want to play with crayons and draw pictures. + +They run away from Tom and find a new paper. They get new crayons and draw a new heart. They write their names inside the heart. They smile and kiss and hug again. + +They are happy and brave. They don't care what Tom says. They like to kiss. They like to play with crayons. They are friends. +Anna liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Lily. Lily had long hair, a pink dress and a smile. Anna took Lily everywhere with her. + +One day, Anna and Lily went to the park with Mommy. They saw a big slide, a swing and a sandbox. Anna wanted to try the slide. She put Lily on her lap and slid down. But the slide was too fast and Anna and Lily fell off at the end. Lily hit a rock and her dress tore. Anna saw a big cut on Lily's arm. She cried and hugged Lily. + +"Mommy, Mommy, Lily is hurt!" Anna shouted. + +Mommy came running and saw Lily's arm. She said, "Oh, poor Lily. Don't worry, Anna, we can heal her. Let's go home and get some bandages and glue." + +Anna nodded and followed Mommy. She held Lily close to her chest. + +At home, Mommy took out a pot from the kitchen. She filled it with water and put it on the stove. She said, "We need to boil some water to clean Lily's arm. It will kill the germs and make it better." + +Anna watched as the water bubbled and steamed. She thought it was unusual. She had never seen water do that before. She asked, "Mommy, why does the water do that?" + +Mommy said, "That's what happens when water gets very hot. It turns into steam. Steam is like a cloud, but hotter. We have to be careful not to touch it, because it can burn us." + +Anna said, "Oh, I see. Can I help you heal Lily?" + +Mommy said, "Of course, you can. You are a good helper. Here, take this cloth and dip it in the water. Then, gently wipe Lily's arm with it. That will clean the cut." + +Anna did as Mommy said. She was careful not to touch the steam or the pot. She wiped Lily's arm with the cloth. She saw the dirt and blood come off. She said, "Look, Mommy, Lily's arm is cleaner now." + +Mommy said, "Good job, Anna. Now, we need to put some glue on the cut. That will stick the skin together and stop the bleeding. Then, we need to wrap a bandage around it. That will protect the cut and make it heal faster." + +Mommy took out a tube of glue and a roll of bandage. She squeezed some glue on Lily's arm and pressed the edges of the cut together. She said, "This glue is special. It is safe for dolls and people. It will dry quickly and make a thin layer of skin. It will not hurt Lily." + +Anna said, "Wow, that's amazing. Lily is lucky to have you, Mommy." + +Mommy said, "Thank you, Anna. You are very sweet. Now, let's put the bandage on. Can you hold Lily's arm still for me?" + +Anna held Lily's arm still while Mommy wrapped the bandage around it. She made sure it was not too tight or too loose. She said, "There, we are done. Lily is all healed. How do you feel, Lily?" + +Anna made Lily say, "I feel much better, Mommy. Thank you for healing me. And thank you, Anna, for being my friend. I love you both." + +Mommy said, "You are very welcome, Lily. We love you too. Now, why don't you and Anna go play in your room? I'll make some cookies for you." + +Anna said, "Yay, cookies! Come on, Lily, let's go play. We can have a tea party with your new bandage. You look very pretty." + +Anna and Lily went to Anna's room and played happily. They forgot about the slide and the rock. They were glad they had each other and Mommy. They knew Mommy could heal anything. +Sara and Ben are twins. They share a room and a big bed. The bed has a soft mattress that they like to jump on. One day, their mom says they have to get a new mattress. The old one is too old and has holes. + +"Why, mom?" Sara asks. "We love our mattress. It is cozy and fun." + +"I know, sweetie, but it is time for a change. The new mattress will be even better. It will be light and fluffy and good for your backs. And guess what? We can send the old mattress to someone who needs it. There are many kids who don't have a bed to sleep on. They will be happy to get your mattress." + +"Really, mom?" Ben says. "That is nice of us. But how do we send it? It is big and heavy." + +"Don't worry, honey. The truck will come and take it away. They will put it in a big box and drive it to a far place. There, they will give it to a family who will be very grateful. You can write a note and stick it on the mattress. You can say who you are and why you are sending it." + +Sara and Ben think that is a good idea. They get some paper and crayons and write a note. They say their names, their age, and that they hope the new kids will enjoy the mattress. They draw some hearts and stars and smiley faces. They put the note on the mattress and hug it goodbye. + +The next day, the truck comes and takes the mattress away. Sara and Ben wave from the window. They feel a little sad, but also happy. They know they did a good thing. They can't wait to try their new mattress. They hope it will be as cozy and fun as the old one. +Tom and Lily were playing in the garden with their water balloons. They liked to throw them at each other and watch them splash. But they had to be careful not to hit the flowers or the window. + +"Look, I have a big one!" Tom said, holding a balloon that was almost as big as his head. + +"Wow, that's huge!" Lily said. "But be careful, it might leak." + +Tom laughed. "No, it won't. It's very strong. Watch this!" He threw the balloon high in the air and waited for it to fall. + +But the balloon did not fall. It got stuck on a branch of a big tree. Tom and Lily looked up and saw the balloon hanging from the branch, wobbling and dripping. + +"Oh no!" Tom said. "It's going to leak on the tree!" + +"We have to get it down!" Lily said. "But how?" + +They tried to reach the balloon with their hands, but they were too short. They tried to jump, but they were too low. They tried to throw rocks, but they were too small. + +"Maybe we can use a stick!" Tom said. He ran to the shed and found a long stick. He brought it back to the garden and tried to poke the balloon with it. + +"Be careful, Tom!" Lily said. "Don't pop it!" + +Tom nodded. He wanted to prevent the balloon from popping. He wanted to save it and play with it again. He pushed the stick gently against the balloon, trying to make it slide off the branch. + +But the stick was too thin. It poked a hole in the balloon and made it burst. The water sprayed everywhere, making Tom and Lily wet and the tree wetter. + +"Oops!" Tom said. He dropped the stick and looked at the broken balloon. + +"Uh-oh!" Lily said. She looked at the wet tree. + +They heard a loud noise from the house. It was their mom, who had seen the water hit the window. + +"Tom! Lily! What are you doing?" She shouted. She came out of the house and saw the mess. + +"Sorry, mom!" Tom and Lily said. They felt dizzy and guilty. + +They told their mom what happened. She was not happy, but she was not too angry. She told them to clean up the garden and dry themselves. She also told them to be more careful with their water balloons next time. + +Tom and Lily nodded. They learned their lesson. They still liked to play with water balloons, but they never threw them too high again. +Lila and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to dig in the sand and look for treasures. One day, they found a shiny jewel in the sand. It was red and sparkly and had many sides. + +"Wow, look at this!" Lila said. "It is so pretty! Can I keep it?" + +Tom nodded. He was happy to share with his friend. He wanted to see if there were more jewels in the sand. He dug deeper and deeper with his shovel. + +But then, he felt something sharp poke his hand. He cried out and dropped his shovel. He looked at his hand and saw a drop of blood. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Tom said. "Something hurt me!" + +Lila ran to him and saw his hand. She was worried. She saw a piece of glass in the sand. It was broken and sharp and had no color. + +"Oh no, Tom, you found a bad jewel!" Lila said. "It is not pretty, it is tough and mean. It made you bleed. We have to tell a grown-up." + +She helped Tom get up and they ran to the bench where Tom's mom was sitting. She saw their faces and knew something was wrong. + +"What happened, kids?" she asked. + +Lila showed her the shiny jewel and the piece of glass. She told her what happened in the sand. + +Tom's mom hugged them and said, "I'm sorry, Tom, that must have hurt a lot. Let me see your hand. I have a band-aid in my bag. And Lila, you are a good friend for helping Tom. That is a very nice jewel you found. But you have to be careful in the sand. Sometimes there are things that are not jewels, but trash. They can be sharp and dangerous. You have to watch out for them." + +She cleaned Tom's hand and put a band-aid on it. She gave him a kiss and said, "You are very tough, Tom. You will be okay. Do you want to keep playing in the sand?" + +Tom nodded. He felt better. He smiled at Lila and said, "Thank you, Lila. You can keep the pretty jewel. It is a gift from me." + +Lila smiled back and said, "Thank you, Tom. You are very kind. It is a gift from you. But next time, let's be more careful in the sand. We don't want to find any more bad jewels." + +They hugged and went back to the sand. They played and had fun. They looked for more treasures, but only the good ones. +Tim and Lily were twins who loved to play with toys. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big helicopter that could fly in the air. They liked to pretend they were pilots and go on adventures with the helicopter. + +One day, they decided to spend the whole morning playing with the helicopter in the backyard. They flew it over the grass, the flowers, and the trees. They made noises like "vroom, vroom" and "whoosh, whoosh". They had a lot of fun. + +But then, they saw something strange in the corner of the yard. It was a big stone with pictures and words on it. It looked very old and dirty. They wondered what it was. + +"Look, Tim, what is that?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know, Lily. Maybe it's a treasure," Tim said. + +They flew the helicopter closer to the stone. They saw that the pictures and words were different from the ones they knew. They looked like animals and shapes and symbols. + +"Wow, this is cool. Maybe it's from a long time ago," Lily said. + +"Maybe it's ancient," Tim said. He had learned that word from a book. + +They wanted to touch the stone and see what it felt like. But they were afraid to leave the helicopter alone. They didn't want to lose it or break it. + +"What should we do, Tim?" Lily asked. + +"Let's take turns, Lily. You go first and touch the stone. I'll watch the helicopter. Then we'll switch," Tim said. + +They agreed and took turns. They felt the stone and it was cold and hard. They tried to read the words and guess what they meant. They felt like explorers and adventurers. + +They spent a long time playing with the stone and the helicopter. They didn't notice that their mom was calling them for lunch. They were too busy having fun. +Lily and Max were bored. They had no toys to play with. They looked around the room and saw only books and clothes. They sighed. + +"Let's make our own toys!" Lily said. She had an idea. She ran to the closet and took out a big box. "We can pretend this is a car!" + +Max smiled. He liked cars. He helped Lily push the box to the middle of the room. They found some paper and crayons and drew wheels and windows on the box. They cut out a hole for the door and climbed inside. + +"Vroom, vroom!" Lily said. She pretended to steer the box. "We are going to the park!" + +"Beep, beep!" Max said. He pretended to honk the horn. "Watch out for the dog!" + +They had fun driving their fake car. They imagined they saw trees and flowers and birds. They waved to their friends and stopped at the red light. + +But then they heard a loud noise. It was Mom. She came into the room and saw the mess. She was not happy. + +"What are you doing?" she asked. "You made a big mess with the box and the paper and the crayons!" + +Lily and Max looked at each other. They knew they were in trouble. They got out of the box and tried to explain. + +"We were bored," Lily said. "We made our own toy. It's a car!" + +"We were pretending," Max said. "We were having fun!" + +Mom looked at the box and the paper and the crayons. She saw the wheels and the windows and the door. She saw the smiles on their faces. She sighed. + +She remembered when she was a kid and she made her own toys. She remembered how much fun she had. She smiled. + +"OK," she said. "I understand. But next time, please ask me first. And clean up after you play." + +Lily and Max nodded. They hugged Mom and said sorry. They cleaned up the mess and put the box and the paper and the crayons away. They thanked Mom for letting them play. + +They learned a lesson. They learned that making their own toys was fun, but they also had to be careful and respectful. They learned that Mom loved them, even when she was mad. They learned that sometimes a fake car can be better than a real one. +Tom and Anna were playing hide and seek in the park. Tom was the seeker and Anna was the hider. Anna ran behind a big tree and waited for Tom to find her. She was very quiet and hoped Tom would not see her. + +Tom looked around the park and tried to guess where Anna was. He saw a bush, a bench, a slide, and a swing, but no Anna. He wondered if she was behind the tree. He walked slowly towards the tree and said, "Anna, are you there?" + +Anna heard Tom's voice and felt scared. She did not want to be found. She tried to stay still, but she stepped on a sharp stick and cried out. "Ow! Ow! Ow!" She revealed herself to Tom and held her foot. She felt a lot of pain. + +Tom heard Anna's cry and ran to her. He saw the stick and the blood on her foot. He felt sorry for her and said, "Oh, Anna, I'm sorry. Are you okay?" He helped her sit down and took off her shoe. He saw a big cut on her foot and said, "We need to get help. Come on, I'll carry you." + +Anna nodded and wrapped her arms around Tom's neck. He lifted her up and carried her to the playground. He saw a lady with a red cross on her shirt and said, "Excuse me, can you help us? My friend has a cut on her foot and it hurts a lot." The lady smiled and said, "Of course, I can help. I'm a nurse. Let me see her foot." She took out a bandage and a spray and cleaned and covered Anna's wound. She said, "There, that's better. You're very brave, Anna. How do you feel?" + +Anna looked at her foot and said, "Thank you, nurse. It feels better now. And thank you, Tom, for being a good friend." She gave Tom a hug and said, "You're very brave, too. Can we still play hide and seek?" + +Tom smiled and said, "Sure, we can still play. But next time, be careful where you hide, okay?" Anna nodded and said, "Okay. You're it!" They laughed and ran to find a new hiding spot. They had fun and forgot about the pain. +Lily and Ben were playing with water and paint in the backyard. They liked to mix different colors and splash them on paper and on each other. They laughed and had fun. + +But then, Lily had an idea. She saw a big bucket of water and a big bottle of red paint. She wanted to make a surprise for Ben. She poured all the paint into the water and stirred it with a stick. She smiled and called Ben. + +"Ben, come here! I have something for you!" she said. + +Ben ran to her, curious. He saw the bucket and wondered what was inside. He leaned over to look. + +Lily grabbed the bucket and poured the red water over Ben's head. She thought it was funny. She giggled and said, "You look like a tomato!" + +But Ben did not think it was funny. He felt the cold water and the sticky paint soak his hair and his clothes. He felt wet and dirty. He felt angry and sad. He did not like to be a tomato. He cried and said, "That's not nice, Lily! That's mean!" + +Lily saw Ben's tears and heard his words. She realized she had made a mistake. She did not want to hurt Ben. She wanted to play with him. She felt ashamed and sorry. She said, "I'm sorry, Ben. I was just joking. I didn't mean to make you cry. Please forgive me." + +Ben looked at Lily and saw her face. She looked sad and sorry too. He knew she was his friend. He did not want to be mad at her. He said, "It's okay, Lily. I forgive you. But please don't do that again. It's not fun." + +Lily nodded and hugged Ben. She said, "Thank you, Ben. You are a good friend. I won't do that again. I promise." + +They went inside and washed the paint off. They changed their clothes and dried their hair. They decided to play with something else. They were still friends. +Tom was a bunny who liked to hop. He hopped all day in the grass and the flowers. He had many friends who hopped with him. They played games and had fun. + +One day, Tom saw a big maze made of wood. He was curious and wanted to hop inside. He said goodbye to his friends and hopped into the maze. He thought he would find something new and exciting. + +But the maze was not fun. It was dark and scary. Tom could not find his way out. He hopped and hopped, but he only saw more walls and dead ends. He was lost and alone. He wished he had stayed with his friends. + +Tom heard a loud roar. He was afraid. He saw a big shadow coming closer. It was a lion who lived in the maze. The lion was hungry and angry. He saw Tom and licked his lips. He pounced on Tom and ate him up. + +Tom was gone. His friends never saw him again. They were sad and missed him. They learned a lesson. They never hopped into the maze. They stayed in the grass and the flowers, where they were safe and happy. +Anna and Ben were playing in the kitchen. They wanted to make a cake for their mom. They had a big bowl, some flour, some eggs, some milk and some sugar. They also had a spoon to stir. + +"Let's stir the flour and the eggs first," said Anna. She cracked an egg and poured it into the bowl. Ben did the same. Then they added some flour and started to stir. + +"Stir, stir, stir," they sang. "We are making a cake, a cake, a cake." + +They stirred until the mixture was smooth and yellow. Then they added some milk and some sugar and stirred some more. + +"Stir, stir, stir," they sang. "We are making a cake, a cake, a cake." + +They were having so much fun that they did not hear the door open. A mysterious man came into the kitchen. He had a long coat, a hat and a beard. He looked at the children and smiled. + +"Hello, little ones," he said. "What are you doing?" + +Anna and Ben stopped stirring and looked at him. They did not know who he was. They felt scared. + +"Who are you?" asked Anna. + +"I am your uncle Jack," said the man. "I came to visit your mom. She is my sister." + +Anna and Ben looked at each other. They did not remember having an uncle Jack. They wondered if he was telling the truth. + +"Where is mom?" asked Ben. + +"She is in the living room," said the man. "She will be happy to see you. Why don't you come with me?" + +Anna and Ben did not want to go with him. They wanted to stay with their cake. They did not trust him. He was too mysterious. + +"No, thank you," said Anna. "We are busy. We are making a cake, a cake, a cake." + +The man frowned. He did not like their answer. He reached for the bowl. + +"Let me see your cake," he said. "Maybe I can help you." + +He grabbed the bowl and lifted it up. But he did not hold it well. The bowl slipped from his hands and fell to the floor. The cake mixture splashed everywhere. It covered the man's coat, hat and beard. It also covered Anna and Ben's shirts. + +"Oops," said the man. + +Anna and Ben gasped. They looked at the mess. They looked at the man. They looked at each other. Then they started to laugh. + +"Ha, ha, ha," they laughed. "You are funny, uncle Jack. You are funny, funny, funny." + +The man did not laugh. He was angry. He was not their uncle Jack. He was a thief. He wanted to steal their mom's jewels. But his plan was ruined. He ran out of the kitchen. + +Anna and Ben did not care. They were happy. They had made a cake, a cake, a cake. They hugged each other and smiled. They did not need a spoon to stir. They had each other. +Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play pretend. One day, they decided to play restaurant. Anna put on a suit and said, "I am the boss. I will take the orders and cook the food." Ben put on an apron and said, "I am the helper. I will set the table and serve the food." + +They went to the kitchen and found some bread, cheese, ham, and fruit. Anna said, "This is what we will cook. We will make sandwiches and fruit salad. They are delicious." Ben said, "OK, let's cook." They used a knife to cut the bread and cheese, and a bowl to mix the fruit. They put the sandwiches and fruit salad on plates and carried them to the living room. + +They pretended that their teddy bears and dolls were the customers. Anna said, "Hello, welcome to our restaurant. What would you like to eat?" She took their orders and gave them to Ben. Ben said, "Coming right up." He brought the plates to the table and said, "Enjoy your meal." + +The teddy bears and dolls ate the sandwiches and fruit salad. They said, "Mmm, this is delicious. You are very good cooks." Anna and Ben smiled and said, "Thank you. We are happy you like our food." + +But then, they heard a loud noise. It was their mom, who came home from work. She saw the mess in the kitchen and the living room. She said, "What is going on here? Who made this mess?" Anna and Ben looked at each other and said, "We did. We were playing restaurant. We cooked sandwiches and fruit salad. They were delicious." + +Their mom said, "I see. Well, I'm glad you had fun, but you also have to clean up after yourselves. Cooking is fun, but it also comes with responsibility. You have to wash the dishes, wipe the table, and put away the food. And you have to be careful with the knife and the suit. They are not toys. They can be dangerous or dirty." + +Anna and Ben said, "We're sorry, mom. We didn't mean to make a mess. We will clean up right away. And we will be careful with the knife and the suit. We learned our lesson." They hugged their mom and said, "We love you, mom. You are the best cook in the world." + +Their mom said, "I love you too, Anna and Ben. You are the best kids in the world. And you are very creative and imaginative. Maybe someday, you will have your own restaurant. But for now, let's clean up and then we can have some cookies and milk." + +The end. +Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play games. Today they play a game with a ball. They throw the ball to each other. They have fun. + +But then Tom throws the ball too hard. The ball hits Anna on the head. Anna cries. She is hurt and sad. + +"Sorry, Anna. I did not mean to hurt you." Tom says. He gives Anna a hug. He gives her a sweet. Anna likes sweets. She stops crying. + +"Thank you, Tom. You are a good friend." Anna says. She smiles. She gives Tom a sweet too. Tom likes sweets. He smiles. + +They share the sweets. They are happy. They play the game again. But they throw the ball more gently. They are careful. They are kind. +Sara and Tom were playing with their toys in the living room. Sara had a doll and Tom had a car. They were having fun, but then Tom wanted to play with Sara's doll. + +"Can I have your doll?" Tom asked. + +"No, it's mine. You have your car," Sara said. + +"But I like your doll. It has a pretty dress and hair. My car is boring," Tom said. + +He tried to grab the doll from Sara, but she held it tight. They started to pull and tug on the doll, making it cry. + +"Stop it! You're hurting my doll!" Sara shouted. + +"Give it to me! It's not fair!" Tom shouted back. + +Their mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw them fighting over the doll and felt sad. + +"Kids, what are you doing? Why are you fighting?" she asked. + +"Sara won't let me play with her doll!" Tom said. + +"Tom wants to take my doll!" Sara said. + +Mom sighed and sat down with them. She looked at them with compassionate eyes. + +"Kids, you know that fighting is not nice. It makes you and others unhappy. You should share and take turns with your toys. That's how you show respect and kindness," she said. + +She took the doll and the car and gave them to the kids. + +"Here, Sara, you can play with the car for a while. And Tom, you can play with the doll for a while. Then you can switch. How does that sound?" she said. + +Sara and Tom looked at each other and nodded. They felt sorry for making mom and the doll sad. They decided to quit fighting and try to play nicely. + +"OK, mom. We're sorry. We'll share and take turns," they said. + +They hugged mom and thanked her. Then they started to play with their new toys, smiling and talking. Mom smiled too and watched them with love. She was proud of her compassionate kids. +Lila and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to dig holes and find things. Sometimes they found stones, or worms, or old toys. + +"Look, I found a shiny thing!" Ben said, holding up a metal ring. "Maybe it is magic!" + +"Let me see!" Lila said, grabbing the ring. "It is pretty. Maybe it is a princess ring!" + +They put the ring on Lila's finger and pretended to be a king and a queen. They made a crown out of flowers and a cape out of a blanket. They walked around the garden and gave orders to the birds and the bugs. + +"King Ben, I am thirsty," Lila said. "Can you get me some water?" + +"Of course, Queen Lila," Ben said. "I will go to the well and bring you a cup." + +He ran to the well, where there was a bucket and a rope. He lowered the bucket into the well and pulled it up. He poured some water into a cup and ran back to Lila. + +"Here you are, Queen Lila," he said, handing her the cup. "Drink and be happy." + +"Thank you, King Ben," Lila said, taking a sip. "This water is good. But what is that?" She pointed to something in the cup. It was a small, green frog. + +"Ah!" Ben said, jumping back. "A frog! How did it get in the well?" + +"Maybe it was hiding in the bucket," Lila said. "Or maybe it is a magic frog!" + +They looked at the frog, which blinked and croaked. It was unusual to find a frog in the well. They wondered what to do with it. + +"Maybe we should bury it," Ben said. "Maybe it will turn into a prince." + +"Or maybe we should keep it," Lila said. "Maybe it will be our friend." + +They decided to keep the frog and name it Hoppy. They made a home for it out of a shoebox and some grass. They fed it flies and water. They played with it and talked to it. They hoped it was happy. + +They forgot about the ring, which fell off Lila's finger and rolled into a hole. They never found it again. But they did not mind. They had a new friend, and that was more fun than a shiny thing. +Ben and Sam were brothers who liked to play in the farm. They had a big field of corn that was yellow and tall. They liked to run and hide in the corn and pretend they were explorers. + +One day, they saw a big truck coming down the road. The truck was loud and fast and had a sign that said "Yield". Ben knew what yield meant. It meant to stop and let the truck go first. He told Sam to come out of the corn and wait by the fence. + +But Sam did not listen. He thought it was fun to stay in the corn and watch the truck. He said, "I don't want to yield. I want to see the truck. It is big and shiny and has a horn." + +Ben was scared. He said, "Sam, you have to yield. The truck can't see you in the corn. It might hit you and hurt you. Please come out and be safe." + +But Sam did not listen. He stayed in the corn and waited for the truck. The truck came closer and closer. Ben shouted, "Sam, yield! Yield!" + +But it was too late. The truck did not see Sam in the corn. It hit the corn and made a loud noise. The corn fell down and Sam fell down too. He was hurt and cried. + +The truck stopped and the driver came out. He was sorry and helped Sam. He took him to the doctor and said, "I'm sorry, kid. I didn't see you in the corn. You should have yielded. Yielding is important. It keeps you and others safe." + +Ben was sad and angry. He said, "Sam, why didn't you listen to me? I told you to yield. You were silly and stubborn. You could have been more hurt. You have to learn to yield. Yielding is good. It shows respect and care." + +Sam was sorry and ashamed. He said, "I'm sorry, Ben. I was wrong. I should have listened to you. You were smart and brave. You tried to save me. I have to learn to yield. Yielding is not bad. It is wise and kind." + +The brothers hugged and said sorry. They learned a lesson that day. They learned to yield when they should. They learned to be careful and clear. They learned to love and listen to each other. +Lily and Max were twins who liked to play in the garden. They liked to dig, run, and chase the butterflies. But they did not like to eat their vegetables. Every day, their mom would give them a plate of celery and carrots, and every day, they would make a face and say, "No, thank you." + +One day, their mom had to go to the store. She told them, "You can play in the garden, but you have to eat your celery and carrots first. They are good for you and make you strong. I will be back soon." She left them a plate of celery and carrots on the table and went out. + +Lily and Max looked at the plate and frowned. They did not want to eat the celery and carrots. They wanted to play in the garden. They had an idea. They took the plate and ran to the garden. They found a hole in the fence and threw the celery and carrots over it. They thought no one would see them. They giggled and ran back to the garden. + +But they did not know that on the other side of the fence, there was a big dog. The dog smelled the celery and carrots and ran to the hole. He was hungry and angry. He ate the celery and carrots and wanted more. He saw Lily and Max playing in the garden. He barked and jumped over the fence. He chased Lily and Max and bit them. They screamed and cried. + +Their mom heard them and ran to the garden. She saw the dog and the hole in the fence.

Lily nodded and grabbed a napkin. She tried to clean it up by herself, but it was too hard. + +Her dad said, "Lily, it's okay to ask for help. Even grown-ups need help sometimes." Lily thought about it and said, "Okay, can you help me clean it up?" Her dad smiled and said, "Of course, let's join forces and clean it up together!" + +Lily was happy that she didn't have to clean it up alone. She learned that it's good to be independent, but it's also okay to ask for help when you need it. +Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Timmy.

But did you know that pebbles can change?" + +Lily looked puzzled and asked, "What do you mean, Mommy?" + +"Well," her mom explained, "sometimes pebbles can get bigger or smaller, or they can change colors. But no matter how they change, they are still special and unique, just like you." + +Lily smiled and hugged her mom, happy to have learned something new.

She poured some cat food in his bowl and Mittens ate it all up. + +Later that day, Lily's mommy gave her a present. It was a big box with a bow on top. Lily was very excited and happy because she knew her mommy was very gifted at picking out presents. She opened the box and saw a pretty dress inside.

She does not want to touch the frame. "I don't like it," she says. "The lion looks angry. Maybe he will jump out of the frame and bite us." + +Tom is not scared. He wants to examine the frame. He picks it up and looks at the back. He sees a sticker with some words. He tries to read them. + +"It says... To... Grandpa... From... Leo," Tom says slowly. "Who is Leo?" + +Anna shrugs. She does not know. She thinks Leo is a bad name for a lion. + +"Maybe Leo is the lion's name," Tom says. "Maybe he gave this frame to Grandpa as a gift. Maybe he is a nice lion." + +Anna is not convinced. She still thinks Leo is a bad lion. She does not want to play with the frame. She wants to play with something else. + +"Let's go and play with the ball," she says. "The ball is fun and soft. It does not have teeth or a mane." + +Tom agrees. He puts the frame down and runs to get the ball. He and Anna play with the ball and forget about the frame and the lion. They have a lot of fun. +Tim and Sam like to play soldiers. They have hats and guns and flags. They make a fort with pillows and blankets. They pretend to fight bad guys and protect their fort. + +One day, they hear a knock on the door.

She runs to the fort and shouts, "I am a fierce monster! I will eat you all!" + +Tim and Sam are scared. They think Lily is a real monster. They drop their guns and flags and hide under the blankets.

See, I have a hat and a gun and a flag. Can I join your game?" + +Tim and Sam feel silly and sorry. They say, "We are sorry, Lily. You are not too small or too girly. You are a good soldier.

Ben asks. + +"I don't know, I can't write yet. Can you help me?" Lily says. + +"Sure, I can help you. Your name has four letters. L, I, L, Y. I can cut them for you." Ben says. + +He cuts the letters and gives them to Lily. She sticks them under her sun. + +"Thank you, Ben. How do you write your number?" Lily asks. + +"My number is two. I can cut it too. It is like a snake." Ben says. + +He cuts a snake and sticks it under his rocket. + +"Wow, you are good at cutting. Can I cut a number too?" Lily asks. + +"Of course, you can. What is your number?" Ben asks. + +"My number is three. It is like a heart with a tail." Lily says. + +She cuts a heart with a tail and sticks it under her name. + +"Look, we made a paper with our names and numbers. It is very clear and pretty." Lily says. + +"Yes, it is. We are good at cutting and making pictures. Do you want to make more?" Ben says. + +"Yes, I do. Let's cut more shapes and colors." Lily says. + +They cut more paper and have fun. They are happy and proud of their work. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They saw a big tree with red apples. Lily wanted to pick some apples for her mom. + +"Look, Tom, apples!" Lily said. She pointed to the tree. "Let's get some in this basket." + +Tom nodded. He liked apples too. He held the basket and followed Lily. They found a low branch with some apples. Lily reached for an apple, but it was too high. + +"Help me, Tom," Lily said. She stood on her toes and stretched her arm. + +Tom put the basket down and lifted Lily up. He was careful not to drop her. Lily grabbed an apple and put it in the basket. + +"Yay, we got one!" Lily said. She smiled at Tom. + +Tom smiled back. He lowered Lily and picked up the basket. They looked for more apples. They filled the basket with red apples.

They had a fun day. +Lily liked to play in the garden. She liked to look for bugs and flowers. One day, she saw a big cricket on a leaf. She wanted to catch it and show it to her mom. + +She moved very slowly and reached out her hand. The cricket saw her and jumped away. Lily ran after it and tried again. The cricket jumped again and again. Lily was sad. She could not catch the cricket. + +She sat on the grass and cried. Then she heard a voice. "Why are you crying?" It was Ben, her friend from next door. He came to play with her. + +"I want to catch the cricket, but it is too fast. It does not want to be my friend," Lily said. + +Ben looked at the cricket. He had an idea. He took a small box from his pocket. He put some grass and a berry inside. He said, "Maybe the cricket is hungry. Let's give it some food and a home. Maybe then it will accept to be your friend." + +He put the box near the leaf where the cricket was. He and Lily waited quietly. The cricket smelled the berry and hopped into the box. Ben closed the lid gently. He gave the box to Lily. + +"Look, you caught the cricket! Now you can show it to your mom. But remember, you have to let it go later. Crickets like to be free," Ben said. + +Lily smiled and hugged the box. She thanked Ben for his help. She was happy. She had a new friend, the cricket. And she had an old friend, Ben. They went to show the cricket to their moms. They played together in the garden. They had fun. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big black dog. The dog was friendly and wagged his tail. Tom and Lily wanted to pet the dog, but they had to ask the owner first. + +They ran to the owner, who was sitting on a bench. They said, "Hello, can we pet your dog?" The owner smiled and said, "Sure, his name is Max. He likes children." + +Tom and Lily went to Max and stroked his fur. Max licked their faces and made them giggle. They noticed that Max had a big black nose. They touched his nose and said, "Your nose is black, Max. It is wet and cold." + +Max barked and wagged his tail. He wanted to play more. He ran to a pile of leaves and jumped in. He made the leaves fly everywhere. Tom and Lily laughed and joined him. They threw leaves at each other and at Max. + +The owner called, "Max, it's time to go home." Max heard him and ran to him. He looked at Tom and Lily and said, "Woof, woof." Tom and Lily said, "Bye, Max. We had fun with you." + +They waved at Max and the owner. They saw Max march with his owner to the gate. He looked happy and proud. Tom and Lily smiled and said, "We like Max. He has a big black nose and he likes to march." +Ben liked to play with his toy plane. He wanted to be a pilot when he grew up. He liked to make the plane fly in the air and make noises. He also liked to stir his soup with his spoon. He liked to make bubbles and swirls in his bowl. + +One day, Ben was playing with his plane and his soup at the same time. He was not careful and he dropped his plane in his soup. He was very sad and he cried. His plane was wet and sticky and it did not fly anymore. He tried to wash it and dry it, but it did not work. + +His mom came and saw what happened. She hugged him and said, "Ben, I know you love your plane and your soup, but you have to be careful. You cannot play with both at the same time. You have to choose one thing and focus on it. That way, you can enjoy it more and not make a mess. Do you understand?" + +Ben nodded and said, "Yes, mom, I understand. I am sorry. I will be more careful next time. I will play with my plane first and then eat my soup later. Or I will eat my soup first and then play with my plane later. I will not do both at the same time." + +His mom smiled and said, "That's good, Ben. I am proud of you. You are learning to be reliable. A reliable person does what he says and does it well. A reliable person is also careful and does not waste things. A reliable person is a good person. And a good person can be a good pilot someday." + +Ben smiled and hugged his mom. He said, "Thank you, mom. I love you. I want to be a reliable person and a good pilot. I will do my best." + +The end. +Lila and Ben were friends. They liked to play outside in the sun. One day, they saw a big flower in the garden. It was red and yellow and smelled nice. + +"Wow, look at the flower!" Lila said. "It is so pretty. Can we pick it?" + +"I don't know," Ben said. "Maybe it belongs to someone. Maybe they will be mad if we take it." + +Lila did not listen. She ran to the flower and pulled it out of the ground. She held it in her hand and smiled. + +"Look, Ben, I have the flower. It is mine now. You can have it later." + +Ben felt sad. He did not think it was fair. He wanted to share the flower with Lila. He also wanted to be careful. He did not want to make anyone mad. + +"Lila, please put the flower back. It is not nice to take things that are not yours. Someone might see us and yell at us." + +Lila did not listen. She laughed and ran away with the flower. She did not care about Ben or anyone else. She only cared about the flower. + +Ben followed her. He tried to catch her and get the flower back. He hoped they would not get in trouble. + +But they did get in trouble. A big dog saw them and barked. It was angry. It did not like strangers in its garden. It did not like them taking its flower. It chased them and bit them. + +Lila and Ben screamed. They dropped the flower and ran. They were scared and hurt. They wished they had not taken the flower. They wished they had been more reliable. They wished they had listened to Ben. They wished they had not made the dog mad. + +But it was too late. The dog had caught them and frozen them. They were now ice statues in the garden. They could not move or talk or play. They could only stare at the flower that had caused them so much trouble. It was the last thing they ever saw. +Lily and Sam were drawing with crayons on a big paper. Lily wanted to draw a sun, but she made a mistake. She tried to erase it with her eraser, but it did not work. The crayon was too dark and the eraser was too small. + +"Sam, can I use your eraser?" Lily asked. "Mine is bad." + +Sam looked at his eraser. It was big and white and clean. He liked his eraser very much. He did not want to share it with Lily. + +"No, you can't," Sam said. "This is my eraser. Find your own." + +Lily felt upset. She did not have another eraser. She did not know how to fix her sun. She started to cry. + +"Why are you crying?" Sam's mom asked. She came to see what was wrong. + +"Lily wants my eraser, but I don't want to give it to her," Sam said. + +Sam's mom frowned. She did not like Sam's answer. She took Sam's eraser from his hand. + +"That's not nice, Sam," she said. "You should share your things with your friends. Here, Lily, you can use this eraser. And Sam, you can use this one." + +She gave Lily Sam's eraser and gave Sam a new eraser. The new eraser was pink and had a picture of a unicorn on it. + +Lily smiled. She thanked Sam's mom and used the eraser to fix her sun. It worked very well. The sun looked bright and happy. + +Sam looked at his new eraser. He did not like it. He did not like pink or unicorns. He wanted his old eraser back. He felt upset. + +He started to cry. +Sara liked to play the piano. She had a small piano in her room. She could make sounds with the keys. Some sounds were high and some sounds were low. She liked to make songs with the sounds. + +One day, Sara saw a big piano in the hall. It was much bigger than her piano. It had many more keys. Sara wanted to play the big piano. She climbed on the stool and touched the keys. The sounds were very loud. Sara was surprised. + +A man came into the hall. He was the piano teacher. He saw Sara playing the big piano. He was not angry. He smiled and said, "Hello, little girl. Do you like the piano?" Sara nodded. She liked the piano. The man said, "Do you want to learn a song?" Sara nodded again. She wanted to learn a song. + +The man sat next to Sara on the stool. He showed her how to play a simple song. He said, "This is called 'Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star'. You can play it with these keys." He pointed to the keys. Sara followed his fingers. She played the song. She was happy. + +The man clapped his hands. He said, "Very good, Sara. You are a smart girl. You can play the piano very well." Sara smiled. She liked the man. He was nice and harmless. He taught her a song. She clapped her hands too. She said, "Thank you, piano teacher. You are a good teacher. I like the piano." They played the song again. They had fun. +Annie and Ben are friends who live near a farm. They like to visit the farmer and see his animals. The farmer has many animals, like cows, pigs, chickens, and sheep. But he also has some unusual animals, like a llama, a peacock, and a kangaroo. + +One day, Annie and Ben go to the farm and see the farmer feeding his animals. They say hello to the farmer and ask him if they can pet his animals. + +"Sure, you can pet them, but be careful. Some of them are shy and some of them are jumpy," the farmer says. + +Annie and Ben go to the llama and try to touch its soft fur. But the llama does not like it and spits at them. Annie and Ben run away and laugh. + +They go to the peacock and see its beautiful feathers. They want to see it open its tail and make a fan. But the peacock does not want to show off and hides behind a fence. Annie and Ben try to coax it out, but it does not listen. + +They go to the kangaroo and see it hopping around. They think it is funny and want to hop with it. But the kangaroo does not like to share and kicks them with its legs. Annie and Ben fall down and cry. + +The farmer hears them and comes to help them. He hugs them and says, "I'm sorry, my animals are not very friendly today. They are unusual and sometimes they act strange. Why don't you come with me and have some cookies and milk?" + +Annie and Ben nod and follow the farmer to his house. They have some cookies and milk and feel better. They thank the farmer and say goodbye to his animals. They decide to come back another day and hope the animals will be nicer. +Tom and Jen are twins. They like to play in the garden. One day, they see a big box near the fence. It has a lock on it. + +"Let's open it!" Tom says. He tries to pull the lock, but it is too hard. + +"Maybe we need a key," Jen says. She looks around and sees a shiny thing on the grass. She picks it up. It is a key. + +"Look, I found a key!" Jen says. She runs to the box and puts the key in the lock. She turns it and hears a click. She unlocks the box. + +"What is inside?" Tom asks. He helps Jen lift the lid. They see a lot of cream in the box. It is white and soft and smells sweet. + +"Wow, cream!" Tom says. He dips his finger in the cream and licks it. It tastes good. + +"Can we eat it?" Jen asks. She also tries the cream. She likes it too. + +They hear a voice behind them. It is their mom. + +"What are you doing?" Mom asks. She sees the box and the cream. She looks angry. + +"Mom, we found a box with cream!" Tom says. He shows her the key. + +"Where did you get that key?" Mom asks. She takes the key from Jen. She looks at it and gasps. + +"That is not a key, that is a ring!" Mom says. She shows them the ring. It has a diamond on it. It is very shiny. + +"A ring?" Tom and Jen say. They look at the ring. It is weird. + +"That is my ring!" Mom says. "I lost it yesterday. I was looking for it everywhere. How did it get here?" + +"I don't know," Tom and Jen say. They shrug. + +Mom looks at the box again. She sees a label on it. It says: "Happy anniversary, honey. I hope you like the cream cake. Love, Dad." + +Mom smiles. She understands. + +"Dad sent us a cake!" Mom says. "He is away on a trip, but he wanted to surprise us. He hid the ring in the key. He is so clever." + +"Wow, Dad is clever!" Tom and Jen say. They smile too. + +Mom hugs them. She says: "You are clever too. You unlocked the box and found the ring. But you should not eat the cream. It is for the cake. Let's go inside and make the cake together. Then we can call Dad and say thank you." + +"Okay!" Tom and Jen say. They follow Mom inside. They are happy. They like the ring and the cream and the cake. They love Mom and Dad. +Sara and Ben were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but they did not like to share them. They always fought over who got the best toy, and who got to play on the table. The table was big and had a nice cloth on it. It was good for building blocks, or drawing, or making puzzles. + +One day, their mom said, "Sara and Ben, I have a surprise for you. I got you a new toy. But you have to share it, and you have to play nice. Do you want to see it?" Sara and Ben nodded. They were curious and excited. They hoped it was a big toy, or a shiny toy, or a toy that made noise. + +Mom brought a big box and put it on the table. She opened it and took out a toy train. It had many cars, and tracks, and a bridge, and a station. It looked fun and colorful. Sara and Ben gasped. They both wanted to play with the train. They both reached for it, but mom stopped them. + +"Wait, wait, wait," mom said. "This is a special toy. It can change. You can make it go fast or slow, or make it stop or go. You can make it go on the bridge, or under the bridge. You can make it go to the station, or away from the station. But you have to work together. You have to take turns, and listen, and help each other. Can you do that?" + +Sara and Ben looked at each other. They did not like to work together. They liked to do things their way. They thought it would be difficult to share the train. They wanted to have it all for themselves. But they also wanted to see how the train could change. They wanted to make it go fast and slow, and stop and go. They wanted to make it go on the bridge and under the bridge. They wanted to make it go to the station and away from the station. They nodded slowly. + +"Okay, mom," they said. "We will try to share the train. We will try to play nice." + +Mom smiled. She gave them the train and the tracks. She said, "Good. I'm glad you are willing to try. I think you will have fun. And you will learn something too. You will learn that sharing is caring. And that playing together is better than playing alone. And that changing is fun, but not easy. You have to be patient, and kind, and smart. Can you remember that?" + +Sara and Ben nodded again. They said, "Yes, mom. We will remember that." + +Mom left them to play with the train. Sara and Ben started to build the tracks on the table. They had to decide where to put the bridge, and the station, and the curves. They had to agree on how to connect the cars, and how to switch the train. They had to take turns to control the train, and to watch it. They had to talk to each other, and listen, and help each other. + +At first, it was difficult. They argued, and pushed, and pulled. They made mistakes, and got frustrated, and cried. But they also had fun. They laughed, and cheered, and clapped. They made the train change, and they saw how it changed. They made it go fast and slow, and stop and go. They made it go on the bridge and under the bridge. They made it go to the station and away from the station. They were proud of their train, and of themselves. + +They played with the train for a long time. They forgot about their other toys. They forgot about fighting. They only remembered sharing, and playing, and changing. They became friends, and they enjoyed the train. They learned that sharing is caring. And that playing together is better than playing alone. And that changing is fun, but not easy. They remembered what mom said, and they thanked her for the train. + +Mom was happy to see them happy. She hugged them and said, "You're welcome, Sara and Ben. I'm proud of you. You did a good job. You learned a good lesson. You changed for the better. And that's the best change of all." +Anna liked to play with her dolls. She had a big doll, a small doll, and a baby doll. She gave them names and clothes and bottles. She was a good mommy to them. + +One day, she saw a new doll in the store. It was a fierce doll. It had sharp teeth and claws and a scary face. It made a loud roar when you pressed its belly. Anna wanted the fierce doll. She asked her mommy to buy it for her. + +Mommy said no. She said the fierce doll was not for little girls. She said it was too scary and mean. She said Anna had enough dolls at home. Anna was sad and angry. She cried and stomped her feet. + +Mommy took Anna home. She gave her a hug and a kiss. She said she loved her very much. She said she was sorry for making her upset. She said she had a surprise for her. + +She took Anna to her room. She showed her a new bottle. It was a big bottle. It had a picture of a fierce doll on it. It was filled with candy. Anna was happy and surprised. She thanked her mommy. She said she loved her very much. She said she was sorry for being naughty. + +She gave her mommy a hug and a kiss. She took the bottle and her dolls. She played with them on the floor. She gave them candy and bottles. She was a good mommy to them. Even to the fierce doll. She pressed its belly and made it roar. She laughed and said it was funny. She gave it a kiss and said it was nice. +Sara and Tom are playing in the living room. They see a big rug on the floor. It has many colors and shapes. Sara likes the rug. She wants to carry it to her room. + +She says to Tom, "Help me carry the rug. It is too heavy for me." Tom nods and grabs one end of the rug. Sara grabs the other end. They lift the rug and walk to the door. + +But the rug is very long. It drags on the floor. It gets stuck on a table. The table has a bowl of salsa on it. The salsa is spicy. It is for Mom and Dad. + +The rug pulls the table. The table tips over. The bowl of salsa falls. It splashes on the rug and on Sara and Tom. They drop the rug and scream. + +Mom and Dad hear the noise. They run to the living room. They see the mess. They see Sara and Tom. They are covered in salsa. They are crying. + +Mom and Dad are not happy. They say, "What are you doing? Why did you carry the rug? Why did you spill the salsa? It is spicy. It can hurt your eyes and mouth." + +Sara and Tom are sorry. They say, "We are sorry. We wanted to play with the rug. We did not mean to spill the salsa. It was an accident." + +Mom and Dad hug Sara and Tom. They say, "It is okay. We know you did not mean it. But you have to be careful. The rug is not a toy. The salsa is not for you. Come on, let's clean up and wash up." + +Sara and Tom help Mom and Dad clean up the living room. They wash up in the bathroom. They change their clothes. They say sorry again. + +Mom and Dad smile. They say, "We love you. You are good kids. But next time, ask us before you carry something big. And stay away from the spicy salsa." +Tom is a rude boy. He likes to push and shout at other kids. He does not like to share or say sorry. One day, he goes to the park with his mom. He sees a big slide and runs to it. + +"Me first, me first!" he yells. He pushes a girl who is waiting in line. The girl cries and runs to her mom. Tom laughs and climbs up the ladder. He does not see a banana peel on the slide. + +"Look at me, I am the best!" he says. He slides down very fast. But when he reaches the bottom, he slips on the banana peel. He falls off the slide and lands on the grass. He hurts his knee and his elbow. He starts to cry very loud. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" he wails. His mom runs to him and picks him up. She sees the banana peel and the girl he pushed. + +"Tom, what did you do?" she asks. "Did you push this girl? Did you slide on this banana peel? That was very rude and dangerous. You could have hurt yourself or someone else. You need to say sorry and be more careful." + +Tom feels ashamed and sorry. He looks at the girl and says in a small voice, "Sorry, I was rude. Are you okay?" The girl nods and says, "It's okay, I forgive you. But don't do that again. Sliding is fun, but not when you push or hurt others." Tom nods and says, "I won't. I will be nice and share. Can we be friends?" The girl smiles and says, "Sure, we can be friends. Do you want to slide with me?" Tom smiles and says, "Yes, please. But let's watch out for banana peels." They both laugh and go to the slide. Tom's mom hugs them and says, "That's better. I'm proud of you, Tom. You learned a good lesson today." +Lila and Tom were best friends. They liked to wander in the park and look for things. One day, they found a big box with many things inside. They opened the box and saw toys, books, clothes and food. + +"Wow, look at all these things!" Lila said. "Can we take some?" + +"Sure, why not?" Tom said. "But we have to trade something for them. That's fair." + +They looked around and saw what they had. Lila had a ball, a doll and a hat. Tom had a car, a truck and a scarf. They decided to trade some of their things for the things in the box. + +Lila traded her ball for a book. Tom traded his car for a toy. They were happy with their new things. They wanted to try the food, too. They saw a bag of chips, a can of soda and a jar of salsa. + +"Let's try these!" Lila said. "They look yummy!" + +They opened the bag of chips and the can of soda. They shared them and liked them. They were crunchy and sweet. Then they opened the jar of salsa. They dipped a chip in it and put it in their mouths. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Lila and Tom shouted. "This is spicy! It hurts!" + +They dropped the chip and ran to the fountain. They drank some water and felt better. They looked at each other and laughed. + +"That was a bad trade!" Lila said. + +"Yes, it was!" Tom said. "But we still have our other things. And we still have each other. That's a good trade!" + +They hugged and smiled. They put their things back in the box and left it for someone else. They wandered in the park and looked for more things. They were best friends. +One day, a boy named Sam went to the park with his mom and his dog. He liked to play on the swings and slide, and to run with his dog. He was very happy. + +But then, he saw a big bee flying near his face. He was scared of bees, because they could sting and hurt. He tried to run away, but the bee followed him. He screamed and cried for his mom. + +His mom heard him and came to help. She saw the bee and told Sam to stay calm. She said the bee was not bad, and it would go away if he did not wave his arms or make noise. She said he had to use his brain and be brave. + +Sam tried to listen to his mom, but he felt weak and panicky. He could not stop shaking and crying. He wished the bee would leave him alone. + +The dog saw Sam in trouble and ran to him. He barked at the bee and chased it away. He licked Sam's face and made him feel better. Sam hugged his dog and thanked him. He said he was sorry for being weak and panicky. He said he would try to use his brain and be brave next time. + +His mom smiled and hugged him too. She said it was okay to be scared sometimes, and that she was proud of him for trying. She said he and his dog were a good team. She said they could go get some ice cream to celebrate. Sam agreed and smiled. He was happy again. +Lily and Ben were at the park with their mom. They saw a big truck with a picture of ice cream on it. Mom said they could have a treat if they were good. + +Lily and Ben ran to the truck and asked for ice cream. Lily wanted a cone with chocolate and Ben wanted a cone with vanilla. The man in the truck gave them their cones and smiled. + +Lily and Ben licked their cones and enjoyed the cold and sweet ice cream. They saw a boy on a bike who looked unknown. He had a red hat and a blue shirt. He rode his bike near them and stopped. + +"Hi, I'm Sam. Do you want to play with me?" he asked. + +Lily and Ben looked at him and nodded. They liked to make new friends. + +"OK, let's play tag. You're it!" Sam said and touched Ben's cone. + +Ben's cone fell from his hand and landed on the ground. Ben felt sad and angry. He liked his cone and it was gone. + +"Hey, that's not nice! You made me drop my cone!" Ben shouted. + +Sam laughed and rode away. He thought it was funny to tease Ben. + +Lily saw Ben's face and felt sorry for him. She wanted to help him. + +"Ben, don't cry. You can have some of my cone. I have enough for both of us." Lily said and offered her cone to Ben. + +Ben smiled and hugged Lily. He was glad to have a kind sister. + +"Thank you, Lily. You're the best." Ben said and took a bite of Lily's cone. + +Lily and Ben shared the cone and felt happy. They didn't care about Sam anymore. They had each other and ice cream. Mom saw them and smiled too. She was proud of Lily and Ben. +Lila and Ben are playing with clay. They like to make different shapes and animals. Lila makes a snake and Ben makes a turtle. + +"Look at my snake!" Lila says. "It is long and smooth. I can bend it and twist it." + +"Wow, that is a nice snake!" Ben says. "But look at my turtle. It is round and hard. I can tap it and hear a sound." + +They show each other their clay creations. They are proud of their work. + +"Can I touch your snake?" Ben asks. "I want to feel how smooth it is." + +"Sure, you can touch it. But be gentle, or it will break." Lila says. She gives him her snake. + +Ben takes the snake and feels it with his fingers. He likes the texture. It is soft and slippery. + +"Can I touch your turtle?" Lila asks. "I want to feel how hard it is." + +"Sure, you can touch it. But be careful, or it will hurt." Ben says. He gives her his turtle. + +Lila takes the turtle and feels it with her hands. She likes the texture. It is rough and bumpy. + +They swap their clay animals back. They smile at each other. + +They have tested the texture of each other's clay. They have learned something new. They are happy. +Sara and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. Sara had a doll and Ben had a car. They were having fun, but they wanted to buy more toys. They saw a jar on the shelf that had money inside. They thought it was easy to get the money. + +"Let's take the jar and buy more toys," Sara said to Ben. + +"OK, but how do we open the jar?" Ben asked. + +Sara had an idea. She saw a candle on the table that was burning. She took the jar and held it over the candle. + +"Look, the jar is melting. The money will come out soon," Sara said. + +But Sara was wrong. The jar was not melting. It was getting very hot. The jar was made of glass, not ice. The glass cracked and broke. The money fell out, but so did the fire. The fire landed on the rug and started to burn. + +"Help! Help! Fire!" Sara and Ben screamed. + +Their mom heard them and ran to the living room. She saw the fire and the broken jar. She grabbed a blanket and threw it over the fire. She put out the fire and saved the rug. + +"Sara, Ben, what were you doing?" Mom asked. + +"We wanted to buy more toys. We tried to melt the jar and get the money," Sara said. + +Mom was very angry and sad. She explained to Sara and Ben that the jar was not theirs. It was a gift from their grandma. It had special money from another country. It was not easy to get the money. It was very hard. And they could not melt the jar. They could only break it and make a mess. + +"Sara, Ben, you were very naughty and foolish. You could have hurt yourselves and the house. You need to say sorry and learn your lesson," Mom said. + +Sara and Ben felt very bad. They said sorry to Mom and to Grandma. They learned that they should not play with fire or money. They should be happy with their toys and listen to Mom. They hugged Mom and Grandma and promised to be good. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys. But sometimes they fight over the same toy. Mom says they have to share and take turns. + +One day, they find a big box of picks in the garage. Picks are tools that have a pointy end and a flat end. They can dig with them or break things. Lily and Ben think picks are fun. + +They each take a pick and start to dig in the dirt. They make holes and piles. They pretend they are pirates looking for treasure. They have a good time. + +But then, Lily sees a shiny thing in the dirt. She digs it out with her pick. It is a coin. It has a face and a number on it. Lily thinks it is pretty. She wants to keep it. + +"Look, Ben, I found a coin!" she says. + +"Wow, let me see!" Ben says. He reaches for the coin. + +But Lily pulls it away. "No, it's mine! I found it!" she says. + +"No, it's ours! We are digging together!" Ben says. + +They start to tug on the coin. They both want it. They get angry and yell. + +Mom hears them and comes to see what is wrong. She sees them fighting over the coin. + +"Stop, stop!" she says. "What are you doing?" + +"Lily won't share the coin!" Ben says. + +"Ben won't let me have the coin!" Lily says. + +Mom sighs. She takes the coin from them. She looks at it. + +"This is a special coin," she says. "It is worth a lot of money. It is not a toy. You should not play with it. You could lose it or damage it." + +She puts the coin in her pocket. + +"Where did you find it?" she asks. + +"In the dirt," Lily says. + +"In the garage," Ben says. + +Mom frowns. She thinks someone must have dropped it by mistake. + +She says, "We have to find out who it belongs to. Maybe it is Dad's or Grandpa's. We have to ask them. Come on, let's go inside." + +She holds their hands and leads them to the house. + +Lily and Ben feel sorry. They did not know the coin was special. They did not mean to fight. + +They say, "Sorry, Mom." + +Mom smiles. She says, "It's okay. I know you were excited. But you have to learn to share and be nice. Sharing is caring. And caring is easy." + +She hugs them and gives them a kiss. + +They hug her back and say, "We love you, Mom." + +They go inside and look for Dad and Grandpa. They hope they can find the owner of the coin. They hope they can make them happy. They hope they can play with their picks again. But this time, they will share and be nice. +Anna wanted to wear her new dress with the zip on the back. She asked her mom to help her put it on, but her mom was busy making breakfast. + +"Can you wait a little bit, Anna?" her mom said. "I need to finish the eggs and toast first." + +Anna did not want to wait. She wanted to wear her new dress now. She thought she could do it by herself. She took the dress from her closet and put it over her head. She tried to reach the zip on the back, but it was too high. She stretched and twisted, but she could not grab it. She felt frustrated and sad. + +She heard her dad coming down the stairs. He saw her struggling with the dress and smiled. + +"Good morning, Anna," he said. "Do you need some help with that?" + +"Yes, please, dad," Anna said. "I want to wear my new dress, but I can't zip it." + +Her dad hugged her and lifted her up. He zipped the dress for her and put her down. He kissed her cheek and said, "There you go, princess. You look beautiful in your new dress. And you are very brave for trying to do it by yourself." + +Anna smiled and thanked her dad. She felt happy and proud. She ran to the mirror and admired her new dress. She felt the zip on the back and thought, "I did not succeed today, but maybe I will tomorrow. I am healthy and strong and I can learn new things." She hugged her dad again and went to join her mom for breakfast. +Tom and Jen are friends who like to play with toys. One day, they find a big box of wires in the garage. They think the wires are fun and colorful. They start to make shapes and animals with the wires. + +"Look, I made a star!" Tom says, holding up a yellow wire. + +"That's nice, Tom. I made a flower!" Jen says, showing a pink wire. + +They are happy and share their wires with each other. They make more shapes and animals. + +But then, Sam comes along. Sam is not a kind boy. He likes to take things from others. He sees Tom and Jen's wires and wants them. + +"Hey, give me those wires!" Sam says, grabbing some wires from Tom. + +"No, Sam, these are ours! We found them!" Tom says, trying to pull back his wires. + +"Too bad, they are mine now!" Sam says, taking more wires from Jen. + +"Stop, Sam, that's not nice!" Jen says, crying. + +Sam laughs and runs away with the wires. Tom and Jen are sad and angry. They have no more wires to play with. + +They go to the house and tell Mom what happened. Mom is not happy with Sam. She calls Sam's mom and tells her what he did. Sam's mom is not happy with Sam either. She makes him bring back the wires and say sorry to Tom and Jen. + +"I'm sorry, Tom and Jen. I was mean and selfish. I should not have taken your wires." Sam says, looking down. + +"It's okay, Sam. We forgive you. But you should not do that again." Tom says, taking his wires back. + +"Yes, Sam. Sharing is better than taking. Do you want to play with us?" Jen says, offering him a wire. + +Sam nods and smiles. He takes a wire and joins Tom and Jen. They make shapes and animals together. They are happy and friendly. + +Mom watches them and smiles. She is proud of Tom and Jen for being kind and forgiving. She is glad that Sam learned his lesson. She thinks that wires can be a good supply for fun and learning. She hopes that they will always play nicely and share. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a man who sells strawberries. The strawberries are red and sweet. Lily and Ben want some strawberries. + +"Can we have some strawberries, please?" they ask the man. + +The man smiles and says, "Sure, you can have some strawberries. But you have to pay me one coin for each strawberry." + +Lily and Ben look at each other. They do not have any coins. They only have some toys. They are sad. + +"Can we give you some toys instead of coins?" they ask the man. + +The man shakes his head and says, "No, I only want coins. Toys are not good for me. I need coins to buy food and clothes." + +Lily and Ben are very sad. They really want some strawberries. They think hard. Then they have an idea. + +"Can we help you sell some strawberries?" they ask the man. + +The man thinks for a while and says, "Okay, you can help me sell some strawberries. But you have to work hard and be honest. If you sell one strawberry, you can keep one coin. If you sell two strawberries, you can keep two coins. And so on." + +Lily and Ben are happy. They agree to help the man. They take a basket of strawberries and go to the park. They see many people who are playing, walking, or sitting. They go to them and say, "Hello, do you want to buy some strawberries? They are red and sweet and cold. They are good for you. They are only one coin each." + +Some people say yes and buy some strawberries. Some people say no and walk away. Lily and Ben are polite and friendly. They do not get angry or sad. They thank the people who buy and wish them a good day. They count the coins and the strawberries. They sell many strawberries and keep many coins. + +They go back to the man and give him the basket and the coins. The man is surprised and happy. He says, "Wow, you are very good at selling strawberries. You sold almost all of them. And you are very honest. You gave me the right amount of coins. You are very good children." + +Lily and Ben are proud and happy. They say, "Thank you, sir. You are very kind. Can we have some strawberries now?" + +The man says, "Of course, you can have some strawberries. You can have as many as you want. You earned them. You worked hard and you were honest. You learned a valuable lesson today. You learned that nothing is free in life. You have to work for what you want. And you have to be honest and fair. That is the right way to live." + +Lily and Ben nod and smile. They take some strawberries and eat them. They are red and sweet and cold. They are the best strawberries they ever had. They share some with the man. They are all happy. They are friends. +Sam and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to catch bugs and look at them. They had a jar with holes in the lid to keep the bugs inside. + +"Look, Sam, I caught a big ant!" Ben said, holding the jar up to his face. + +"Wow, Ben, that ant is huge!" Sam said, running over to see. "Can I hold the jar?" + +"OK, but be careful. The ant might bite you." Ben said, handing the jar to Sam. + +Sam took the jar and looked at the ant. It had six legs, two antennas, and a shiny black body. But it also had something else. Something weird. + +"Ben, look at this!" Sam said, pointing to the ant. "The ant has a saw on its head!" + +"A saw? What do you mean, a saw?" Ben said, confused. + +"A saw, like the one dad uses to cut wood. Look, it has teeth and a handle. It's a saw!" Sam said, showing Ben the ant's head. + +Ben looked closer and saw that Sam was right. The ant had a weird saw on its head. It looked like it could cut anything with it. + +"Wow, that is weird. How did the ant get a saw on its head?" Ben said, amazed. + +"I don't know. Maybe it found it somewhere. Or maybe it was born with it. Maybe it's a special kind of ant." Sam said, wondering. + +"Maybe we should let it go. It might need its saw for something. Maybe it uses it to make its home or to fight other bugs." Ben said, feeling sorry for the ant. + +"OK, let's let it go. But first, let's take a picture of it. It's the weirdest bug we ever caught." Sam said, taking out his phone. + +They took a picture of the ant with the saw on its head and then opened the jar. The ant crawled out and ran away. Sam and Ben watched it go. + +"Bye, ant. Have fun with your saw." Sam said, waving. + +"Bye, ant. You are very cool and weird." Ben said, smiling. + +They put the jar back in their backpack and went to look for more bugs. They hoped to find more weird ones. They liked weird bugs. They were fun to catch and look at. +Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play with toys in their room. But sometimes they fight over the toys. They do not like to share. + +One day, they find a large nail on the floor. It is shiny and sharp. They both want the nail. They say, "It is mine! Give it to me!" They pull and tug on the nail. They do not listen to their mom, who tells them to stop. + +The nail is very strong. It does not break. But Tim and Sam are not strong. They hurt their hands on the nail. They cry and bleed. They drop the nail on the floor. + +Their mom comes to the room. She sees the nail and the blood. She is angry and scared. She says, "What have you done? You are very naughty! You could have hurt yourselves badly!" She takes them to the bathroom. She washes their hands and puts bandages on them. She says, "You are not allowed to play with nails. They are dangerous. And you are not allowed to fight over toys. You have to share and be nice to each other." + +Tim and Sam are sorry. They say, "We are sorry, mom. We will not fight again. We will not play with nails again." But their mom is still mad. She says, "You are grounded. You have to stay in your room for the rest of the day. No toys, no TV, no snacks. You have to think about what you did wrong." She leaves them in their room. They are sad and bored. They wish they had not fought over the nail. They wish they had listened to their mom. They wish they had a better day. +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to look at the flowers and smell them. Lily saw a big pink flower that was not open yet. She wanted to see it bloom. + +"Can I touch it?" she asked Ben. + +"No, Mom said we should not touch the flowers. They are not toys. They are alive and need water and sun," Ben said. + +But Lily did not listen. She reached out and pulled the flower. It came off the stem and fell on the ground. Lily felt guilty. She had hurt the flower and made it die. + +She heard Mom coming. She was afraid Mom would be angry. She hid the flower behind her back. + +"Hello, my sweeties. What are you doing?" Mom asked. + +"We are playing, Mom," Ben said. + +Mom smiled and gave them a hug. She saw the flower on the ground. She looked at Lily. + +"Lily, did you do this?" she asked. + +Lily nodded. She felt tears in her eyes. + +"I'm sorry, Mom. I wanted to see it bloom. I didn't mean to hurt it," she said. + +Mom sighed. She was not happy, but she loved Lily. She knew Lily was sorry. + +"It's okay, Lily. I know you were curious. But you have to be gentle with the flowers. They are not toys. They are alive and need water and sun. Do you understand?" she asked. + +Lily nodded. She hugged Mom. + +"I understand, Mom. I'm sorry. I love you," she said. + +Mom kissed her. + +"I love you too, Lily. Come on, let's go inside and have a snack. Maybe we can find a book about flowers and learn more about them," she said. + +Lily and Ben followed Mom. They waved goodbye to the flowers. They hoped the flowers would forgive them and bloom again. +Anna and Ben are playing in the park. They have a ball and a frisbee. They throw the ball and the frisbee to each other. They have fun. + +But then, a big dog comes. The dog is brown and furry. The dog likes the ball and the frisbee. The dog runs and takes the ball and the frisbee in his mouth. He runs away. + +Anna and Ben are sad. They want their ball and their frisbee back. They run after the dog. They say, "Dog, dog, give us our ball and our frisbee. Please, dog, be polite." + +The dog stops. He looks at Anna and Ben. He sees that they are sad. He feels sorry. He drops the ball and the frisbee on the ground. He wags his tail. He says, "Woof, woof, sorry, kids. I just wanted to play. Here, take your ball and your frisbee. I will be polite." + +Anna and Ben are happy. They pick up their ball and their frisbee. They say, "Thank you, dog. You are a good dog. Do you want to play with us?" + +The dog nods. He says, "Woof, woof, yes, I want to play with you. You are nice kids." + +Anna and Ben throw the ball and the frisbee to the dog. The dog catches them and brings them back. They have fun. + +But then, Anna feels an itch on her arm. She looks and sees a red spot. She says, "Ow, ow, something bit me. It itches. It hurts." + +Ben looks and sees a red spot on his leg. He says, "Ow, ow, me too. Something bit me. It itches. It hurts." + +The dog looks and sees a small bug on the grass. The bug is black and has wings. The bug is a mosquito. The dog says, "Woof, woof, bad bug. Bad mosquito. It bites. It makes you itch. Go away, mosquito. Leave us alone." + +The dog chases the mosquito. He tries to catch it in his mouth. He barks and jumps. He scares the mosquito away. + +Anna and Ben scratch their bites. They say, "Thank you, dog. You are a brave dog. You saved us from the mosquito." + +The dog comes back. He licks their bites. He says, "Woof, woof, you are welcome, kids. I am your friend. I will protect you from the mosquito." + +Anna and Ben hug the dog. They say, "We love you, dog. You are our friend. You are polite and good and brave." + +The dog wags his tail. He says, "Woof, woof, I love you, kids. You are my friends. You are polite and nice and fun." + +They play some more. They are happy. The end. +Sara and Ben are playing with their toys. They have a big box of glue and many things to stick together. They make a house, a car, a boat and a rocket. They are very happy and proud of their work. + +But then, their dog Spot comes and runs around the room. He bumps into the table and knocks down their toys. The house, the car, the boat and the rocket fall and break. Sara and Ben are very sad and angry. They shout at Spot and tell him to go away. + +Spot feels sorry and wants to make them happy again. He looks around and sees the glue. He thinks glue is useful and can fix the toys. He takes the glue and tries to stick the toys together. But he does not know how to use glue. He makes a big mess and sticks the toys to the floor, the wall, the curtain and himself. + +Sara and Ben see what Spot has done and are even more sad and angry. They cry and say their toys are ruined. They do not want to play with Spot anymore. + +Spot does not know what to do. He wishes he could make things right. He remembers that his mom taught him to pray when he is in trouble. He closes his eyes and prays. He asks God to help him and to make Sara and Ben happy again. + +God hears Spot's prayer and feels sorry for him. He sends an angel to help him. The angel comes and sees the mess. He smiles and says, "Don't worry, Spot. I can help you. But you have to learn how to use glue properly. Glue is useful, but only if you use it carefully and wisely. Let me show you how." + +The angel takes the glue and unsticks the toys from the floor, the wall, the curtain and Spot. He shows Spot how to glue the toys back together. He tells Spot to be gentle and patient and to follow the instructions. Spot listens and learns. He helps the angel to fix the toys. He is very happy and grateful. + +Sara and Ben hear a noise and come back to the room. They see their toys fixed and shiny. They see Spot and the angel smiling. They are very surprised and happy. They hug Spot and thank him and the angel. They say they are sorry for being mean to Spot. They say they love him and want to play with him. + +Spot is very happy and thankful.

But first, can you do me a favor? Can you wipe your nose? It looks a little sore and wet. I have a tissue for you. It will make you feel better." + +Anna felt embarrassed and shy. She did not want to wipe her nose in front of the prince. She said, "No, thank you, prince. I do not need to wipe my nose. It is fine. It is not sore or wet. It is just red." + +The prince said, "Please, princess. Trust me. Wiping your nose is good for you. It will make you breathe easier and sneeze less. It will also make your nose look nicer. I do not mind your nose, but I want you to be happy and healthy. Will you wipe your nose for me?" + +Anna looked at the prince and saw that he was kind and sincere.

Leo said, excited. + +They left their cars and went to the box. They tried to open it, but it was taped shut. They looked for something to cut the tape, but they couldn't find anything. + +"I have an idea!" Leo said. "We can pull the tape!" + +He grabbed one end of the tape and pulled hard. Mia grabbed the other end and pulled too. They pulled and pulled, but the tape was very strong. They pulled harder and harder, until... + +Snap! + +The tape broke and the box opened.

We pulled the tape and the lamp came out and broke." + +Mom sighed. She was very upset. She had waited a long time for the lamp and it was very expensive. She wanted to yell at Mia and Leo, but she saw their tears and felt sorry for them. She knew they didn't mean to break the lamp. They were just curious and playful. + +She knelt down and hugged them. "It's okay, my loves. I'm not mad at you. I'm just sad that the lamp is broken. It was a gift from your grandma. She sent it to me for my birthday." + +"Grandma?"

She said it was very beautiful and special." + +Mia and Leo felt bad. They loved their grandma and they knew she loved them. They didn't want to make her or their mom unhappy. + +"We're sorry, mom. We're sorry, grandma." they said, sincerely. + +Mom smiled. She kissed them on their cheeks. "I know you are. And I love you very much. And so does grandma. She would understand that you were just playing. But you have to be more careful next time. You have to be patient and wait until I open the box. And you have to be grateful for the gifts you receive. They are not toys. They are signs of love." + +Mia and Leo nodded. They understood. They learned their lesson. They said they would be more patient and grateful. They said they would help mom clean up the mess. They said they would call grandma and say thank you and sorry. + +Mom hugged them again.

It sings a pretty song. + +"Wow, Ben, it is so pretty!" Lily says. She claps her hands. "Can we collect its song?" + +"How can we collect a song?" Ben asks. He scratches his head. + +Lily thinks hard. She has an idea. She runs to her backpack. She takes out a paper and a crayon. She draws the bird and some notes. + +"See, Ben, this is how we collect a song!" Lily says. She shows him the paper. "We draw it!" + +Ben smiles. He thinks Lily is very smart.

The slide is hot! It hurts!" + +Mom heard her cry and ran to her. She took her hand and blew on it. She said, "I'm sorry, Lily. The sun made the slide hot. You have to be careful. Let me see your hand. Does it still hurt?" + +Lily nodded and sniffed. She saw a red mark on her hand. She said, "Yes, it hurts. I want ice cream." + +Mom smiled and said, "Ice cream will make your hand feel better. But first, we have to put some cream on it. It will help it heal. Can you resist the pain for a little while?" + +Lily did not want cream. She wanted ice cream. She said, "No, I want ice cream now!" + +Mom said, "I know, but cream is good for you. It will make the pain go away faster. Ice cream is good too, but only after cream. Can you be brave and let me put some cream on your hand?" + +Lily looked at her mom and saw love in her eyes. She remembered that mom always wanted the best for her. She decided to trust her mom and resist the pain. She said, "Okay, mom. You can put cream on my hand. But then can we have ice cream?" + +Mom hugged her and said, "Yes, of course. You are a good girl, Lily. You are brave and smart. I'm proud of you." + +They went to the bench and mom put some cream on Lily's hand. It stung a little, but Lily did not cry. She held her mom's hand and smiled. Then they went to the ice cream truck and got two cones. Lily chose chocolate and Tom chose vanilla. They licked their ice cream and felt happy. They learned that sometimes they have to resist the pain and do what is good for them, before they can enjoy what is good for them. And they learned that mom always loved them and helped them. +Bella was a big dog with brown fur and a long tail. She loved to play with her ball and run in the park.

She saw a jar of red powder on the shelf and thought it was sugar. She opened the jar and poured some of the powder into the soup. She stirred it quickly and smiled. + +"Look, Ben, I made the soup sweet!" she said. + +Ben looked at the soup and saw that it was now orange and bubbly. He smelled it and felt his nose tingle.

Mom will be angry!" he said. + +But Sara did not listen. She wanted to taste the soup. She took a sip and felt her mouth burn. She screamed and dropped the spoon. The soup splashed on her face and clothes. She ran to the sink and tried to wash it off. She cried and cried. + +Mom heard the noise and came back to the kitchen. She saw the mess and Sara's red face. She was shocked and worried. She took Sara to the hospital to check if she was okay. Ben followed them with a guilty look. + +At the hospital, the doctor gave Sara some medicine and water. He said she would be fine, but she had to be careful with what she ate. He also said that chili was not good for children. Sara felt sorry and ashamed. She apologized to mom and Ben. She said she would never do that again. + +Mom hugged Sara and Ben. She said she was glad they were safe, but she was also disappointed. She said they should not play with the food or the spices. She said they should listen to her and each other.

Can I see your chest?" + +Anna and Ben showed him their chest and opened it. Tom gasped and said, "Wow, you have so many shiny things. Can I have some?" + +Anna and Ben looked at each other and said, "No, these are ours. We found them and we worked hard to fill the chest. You can't have any." + +Tom frowned and said, "That's not fair. You have to share. Give me some or I'll take them all." + +Anna and Ben got angry and said, "No, go away. You're not a nice boy. You're a greedy boy. You can't play with us." + +Tom got angry too and said, "Fine, then I'll take your chest and your map. You can't stop me." + +He grabbed the chest and the map and ran away. Anna and Ben chased him and shouted, "Stop, thief! Give us back our treasure!" + +But Tom was faster and he ran to the other side of the park. He found a big tree and hid behind it. He thought he was safe and he opened the chest. He smiled and said, "Ha, ha, I have the treasure now. I'm the richest pirate in the world." + +But he didn't notice the big dog that was sleeping under the tree. The dog woke up and saw the chest. He thought it was his toy and he barked and jumped on it. He knocked the chest out of Tom's hands and started to chew on it. He broke the chest and the shiny things fell out.
