She looked up and saw a little boy laughing and smiling as he held onto the kite string. Jane smiled again. + +The little boy asked Jane to help him fly his kite. Jane said yes and soon they were running around the park together, the kite high in the air. The thunder clouds disappeared and the sun began to shine again.

Every day they would do things together and laugh. + +One day, the man was so happy with his wife that he began to sneeze. He sneezed and sneezed, and then he asked his wife: “What should I do?†+ +She smiled and said, “Let’s go for a walk. That should help.†+ +So, the man and his wife went for a walk in the park. As they walked, the man kept sneezing, but he was happy. He said to his wife, “Thank you for bringing me to the park. It's important for me to be able to sneeze outside.†+ +The man and his wife continued to walk around the park until the man stopped sneezing. They were both happy that the man felt better.

The sauce smelled delicious and he knew he had to find out what it was! + +He asked a nearby lady where the sauce had come from. She told him that it was a special recipe, made by her neighbour. Tom said thank you and continued on his walk. But a few minutes later, he had a thought. He wanted to try the tasty sauce for himself. + +He quickly turned around and ran back to the lady.

The lady smiled and said of course he could. + +Tom walked over to his new friend's house and knocked on the door. The neighbour was more than happy to give Tom some of his delicious sauce. Tom thanked him for his kindness, and ran home with a jar of the magical sauce. When he arrived home, Tom opened the jar and poured some of the sauce on a plate. He gobbled it up! It was the most delicious thing he had ever tasted. + +Tom was no longer lonely. He had made a new friend and tasted a yummy sauce. +Once there was a pot that glowed in the night. It was useful to everyone because it brightened up the dark. The pot was especially useful to the little boy who lived nearby. Every night the little boy would look up at the glowing pot and it made him feel safe. + +One night, the boy decided he wanted to get closer to the pot. So he carefully sneaked closer and closer until he was right next to it. He reached out his hand and touched it and a wonderful warmth spread through him. He knew that for as long as the pot glowed he would never be scared of the dark. + +The little boy made a wish that the pot would always stay glowing and it seemed like his wish came true. He thanked the pot every night until he was too old to see it anymore. But the pot's glow still shone every night, providing a warm and comforting light. +Tommy and his dad were at the beach.

He was having so much fun that he didn't realise he was swimming too far away. + +Suddenly he heard his dad's voice calling him back. He swam back to the beach, but his dad didn't look happy. "You are all wet!" he said. Tommy's cheeks went red and he felt ashamed. + +"Next time, stay close to the shore so you don't get too wet!" said his dad, smiling. Tommy promised he would and he ran off to play again. + +This time, he stayed near the shore and played there, enjoying the waves as they gently soaked his feet. He was so happy and even his dad smiled. +Once there was a bunny named Jazz who loved to hop.

Pete said, "That's a bad idea Bob, it's better to leave some for the birds and animals." Finally, Bob agreed and each one of them took one berry. + +When they ate the berries, everyone said it was delicious, except for Bob. "This berry tastes bad," he said. Tom replied, "It's because you picked it last. You should have listened to us and picked the first one." Bob laughed, "You're right.

He didn't believe that Mary should have any. +It was a sunny day and Dad was outside planting flowers. But all of a sudden, very loud noises started coming from the garden. Dad stopped what he was doing and went to investigate. + +When he got there, Dad found a crazy little creature with a shovel digging a hole. + +Dad: "What are you doing here?

He was sure the dove was trying to tell him something, but he needed help to figure out what it was. + +He called out to the animals in the forest, asking them to solve the mystery. After a while, a wise little fox came up to him. The fox listened to the old man's story and told him that the dove was trying to tell him something important. + +The fox suggested that the old man should take the dove and release it in the forest.

She learned that it doesn't matter what others think. What matters is what she thinks. She learned to comfort herself and be confident. She learned to love her pink dress. +Lily liked to number her toys. She had one doll, two cars, three balls, and four books. She put them in a line and counted them every day. She was glad to have so many toys. + +One night, she heard a noise in her room. She opened her eyes and saw a light. It was a spirit. The spirit was small and blue and had wings. It smiled at Lily. + +"Hello, little girl. I am a fairy. I came to see your toys. They are very nice. Can I play with them?" the spirit said. + +Lily was scared at first, but the spirit looked friendly. She nodded and said, "Yes, you can play with them. But be careful. They are mine." + +The spirit flew to the line of toys and looked at them. It touched the doll, the cars, the balls, and the books. It liked them all. It said, "You have one, two, three, four toys. That is a good number. Can I have one?" + +Lily thought for a moment. She loved her toys, but she also liked the spirit. She said, "You can have one, but only one. Which one do you want?" + +The spirit looked at the toys again. It said, "I want the doll. She is pretty and soft. Can I have her?" + +Lily felt sad. The doll was her favorite toy. She hugged the doll and said, "No, you can't have her. She is mine. I love her. You can have any other toy, but not her." + +The spirit looked sad too. It said, "But I like her too. She is the best toy. Please, let me have her. I will be your friend." + +Lily thought again. She wanted to be friends with the spirit, but she also wanted to keep her doll. She said, "I have an idea. You can have the doll, but only for tonight. Tomorrow, you have to give her back to me. And you have to promise to come back and play with me again. Is that okay?" + +The spirit smiled and said, "Yes, that is okay. Thank you, Lily. You are very kind. I promise to come back and play with you again. And I promise to take good care of the doll. Can I hug her?" + +Lily nodded and gave the doll to the spirit. The spirit hugged the doll and said, "She is so pretty and soft. I love her too. Thank you, Lily. You are my friend." + +Lily smiled and said, "You are welcome, spirit. You are my friend too. Good night." + +The spirit said, "Good night, Lily. Sweet dreams." + +They both closed their eyes and fell asleep. They were glad to have each other. +Tom and Jen are friends. They like to play soccer. They want to win a trophy. They practice a lot. They are anxious for the big game. + +The big game is today. Tom and Jen are on the same team. They play hard. They score many goals. They are happy. They think they will win the trophy. + +But the other team is good too. They score many goals too. The game is very close. Tom and Jen are nervous. They want to win the trophy. + +The game is almost over. Tom has the ball. He runs to the goal. He sees Jen open. He passes the ball to Jen. Jen kicks the ball. The ball goes in the goal. Tom and Jen cheer. They think they win the trophy. + +But the referee blows the whistle. He says Jen was offside. He says the goal does not count. He says the other team wins the game. Tom and Jen are sad. They cry. They do not win the trophy. + +The other team is happy. They get the trophy. They hold it up. They laugh. They say Tom and Jen are losers. They say Tom and Jen should shut up. Tom and Jen are angry. They do not like the other team. They do not like the referee. They do not like soccer. They do not like anything. They have a bad day. +Lily and Ben were having lunch with their mom. Mom made them soup and bread, and put some pepper on her own bowl. Lily and Ben did not like pepper. They said it was too spicy and made them sneeze. + +"Can I have some pepper, please?" Lily asked mom. + +"No, Lily, you don't like pepper. It will make your soup too hot for you," mom said. + +"But I want to try it. Please, mom, please!" Lily insisted. + +Mom sighed and gave Lily a tiny bit of pepper. Lily sprinkled it on her soup and took a sip. She made a face and spit it out. + +"Yuck! Pepper is yucky! I don't want it anymore!" Lily cried. + +Ben laughed at Lily. He thought she was silly for wanting pepper. He was happy with his soup without pepper. He ate it all up and asked for more. + +"Good boy, Ben. You ate your soup very well. Do you want some bread too?" mom asked. + +"Yes, please. Bread is yummy. Can I have some butter too?" Ben asked. + +"Sure, here you go. But don't be too greedy. Save some for Lily and me," mom said. + +Lily did not want any more soup. She wanted some bread and butter too. But she was too lazy to get up from her chair. She whined and asked mom to bring her some. + +"Mom, can you give me some bread and butter too? I don't want to get up. I'm tired," Lily said. + +"No, Lily, you have to get up and get it yourself. You are not tired. You are just lazy. You have to learn to do things for yourself," mom said. + +"But mom, I don't want to. It's too far. Please, mom, please!" Lily insisted. + +Mom shook her head and said no. She told Lily to stop whining and be more like Ben. Ben was a good boy who did not fuss and ate his lunch nicely. Lily was a bad girl who made a mess and did not listen to mom. + +Lily felt sad and angry. She did not like mom's words. She did not like pepper. She did not like soup. She did not like Ben. She threw her spoon on the floor and started to cry. Mom was not happy. She scolded Lily and told her to go to her room. Lily ran away and slammed the door. She wished she had some bread and butter. She wished she had some pepper too. She wanted to make Ben sneeze. +Lily and Max were playing in the garden. They had a big bucket of water and some cups. They wanted to soak each other and have fun. + +"Watch out, Lily!" Max shouted. He threw a cup of water at her. But Lily was fast. She ducked and the water missed her. + +"Ha ha, you missed me!" Lily said. She picked up a cup of water and ran after Max. Max ran away, but he tripped on a rock. Lily caught up with him and poured the water on his head. + +"Hey, that's not fair!" Max said. He was wet and cold. He shook his head and water flew everywhere. + +Lily laughed. She thought it was funny. She saw a big flower near them. It was yellow and red. It had a long stem and a big round head. Lily liked the flower. She went closer to look at it. + +"Wow, what a pretty flower!" Lily said. She touched the flower gently. She saw something shiny inside the flower. It was a drop of water. It was like a tiny ball of glass. + +"Look, Max, look!" Lily said. She called Max to see the drop of water. Max came over and looked at the flower. He saw the drop of water too. He thought it was impressive. + +"How did the water get there?" Max asked. He was curious. + +"I don't know," Lily said. "Maybe the flower drank the water from the ground. Maybe the water is the flower's cell. Maybe the flower is happy to have water in its cell." + +"Maybe," Max said. He nodded. He thought Lily was smart. He smiled at her. + +They both looked at the flower and the drop of water. They felt happy too. They liked the flower and the water and each other. They forgot about soaking each other. They decided to play with the flower instead. +Lily and Ben liked to play music. They had a band with their toys. Lily played the drum and Ben played the guitar. They sang songs that made them happy. + +One day, they wanted to show their band to their mom and dad. They set up their toys in the living room and waited for them to come home. They were very excited. + +But when mom and dad came home, they were not happy. They saw the toys all over the floor and the noise that Lily and Ben made. They told them to stop and to clean up. They said they had a headache and they needed quiet. + +Lily and Ben felt ashamed. They did not mean to make mom and dad angry. They just wanted to share their music. They said sorry and picked up their toys. They went to their room and did not play anymore. + +Mom and dad felt bad too. They knew that Lily and Ben were just having fun. They did not want to hurt their feelings. They went to their room and hugged them. They said they were sorry too and that they loved their music. They asked them to play again, but not so loud and not so late. They said they were proud of their band. + +Lily and Ben smiled. They felt better. They thanked mom and dad and gave them kisses. They played their music again, but softer and earlier. They sang songs that made them and mom and dad happy. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys and books. One day, they have a visit from their aunt and uncle. They bring a big bag of gifts for them. + +"Wow, what is in there?" Lily asks, jumping up and down. + +"Let's see, let's see!" Ben says, pulling the bag. + +They open the bag and find many things. There are dolls, cars, puzzles, stickers, and candy. Lily and Ben are very happy. They hug their aunt and uncle and say thank you. + +"Can we play with them now?" Lily asks. + +"Of course, you can. But be careful, some of them are cheap and might break easily," their uncle says. + +Lily and Ben start to play with their new toys. They share them and have fun. But soon, they notice something. The dolls' hair falls off, the cars' wheels come off, the puzzles' pieces are missing, the stickers' colors fade, and the candy's taste is bad. + +"These toys are not good. They are cheap and broken," Lily says, frowning. + +"I don't like them either. They are cheap and boring," Ben says, throwing them away. + +They look at their old toys and books. They are not new, but they are good. They are not cheap, but they are fun. They pick them up and play with them again. + +"We don't need cheap toys. We have good toys. And we have each other," Lily says, smiling. + +"Yes, we do. And we have our aunt and uncle. They are nice and love us," Ben says, hugging them. + +They play with their old toys and books until it is time for their visit to end. They say goodbye to their aunt and uncle and thank them again. They are happy and grateful. They have learned a lesson. Cheap is not always good. Good is not always cheap. +Ben likes to play with his toy cars. He has many cars of different colors and sizes. He makes them zoom and crash on the floor. He pretends they are racing or chasing each other. + +One day, he finds a new car in his toy box. It is red and shiny and has a button on the side. He presses the button and hears a beep. He sees a small screen on the car. It has a message for him. It says: "Hello, Ben. I am your new car. I can talk to you and do tricks. Do you want to play with me?" + +Ben is surprised and happy. He says: "Yes, I want to play with you. What is your name?" The car says: "My name is Max. I can go very fast and jump over things. Watch this." The car zooms across the floor and jumps over a book. Ben claps and laughs. + +He plays with Max for a long time. They have fun and become friends. But after a while, Ben notices that Max is getting hot. He touches the car and feels the heat. He says: "Max, you are hot. Are you okay?" Max says: "I am okay, Ben. But I need to rest. My battery is low. Can you plug me in the wall?" Ben says: "Okay, Max. I will plug you in the wall. You can rest and recharge. Then we can play again." He picks up Max and carries him to the wall. He finds a plug and connects Max to it. He sees a light on the car. It is red. Max says: "Thank you, Ben. You are a good friend. I will talk to you soon. Goodbye for now." The light changes from red to green. Max is quiet. + +Ben says: "Goodbye, Max. I will see you later. I love you." He gives Max a hug and puts him on the table. He goes back to his toy box and looks for another car to play with. He hopes that Max will wake up soon and play with him again. He thinks that Max is the best car ever. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play together. One day, they go to the park with their moms. They see a big red slide. They want to go on the slide. + +"Can we go on the slide, mom?" Lily asks. + +"Yes, but be careful. It is very high," her mom says. + +Lily and Ben run to the slide. They climb the stairs. They see a boy at the top. He has a funny hat and a funny language. He talks to them. + +"Hello, I am Sam. Where are you from?" he says. + +Lily and Ben do not understand. They look at each other. They do not know his language. + +"Hi, we are Lily and Ben. We are from here," Lily says. + +Sam smiles. He says something else. Lily and Ben do not understand. + +"What is he saying?" Ben whispers. + +"I do not know. Maybe he is from far away," Lily whispers. + +They are curious. They want to be friends with Sam. They peek at his hat. It has many colors and shapes. They peek at his language. It has many sounds and words. + +"Can we play with you?" Lily asks. + +Sam nods. He says something else. He points to the slide. + +"OK, let's go on the slide," Ben says. + +They take turns to go on the slide. They laugh and have fun. They learn some of Sam's language. He learns some of theirs. They are happy. They make a new friend. +Tom and Lily were playing with their toy kitchen. They liked to pretend they were making tea and cake for their dolls and teddy bears. Tom had a red teapot and Lily had a blue one. They filled them with water from the sink and put them on the stove. + +"Be careful, Tom," Lily said. "The water is hot. Don't pour it too fast or you will spill it." + +"I know, I know," Tom said. "I am a good tea maker. Watch me." He picked up his teapot and poured some water into a cup. But he poured too much and some water splashed on the floor. + +"Oh no, Tom!" Lily cried. "You made a mess. Mom will be mad. She will give us a lecture. She will say we are bad children. She will say we can't play with the toy kitchen anymore." + +Tom felt sorry. He didn't mean to spill the water. He wanted to make tea and cake for his dolls and teddy bears. He wanted to have fun with Lily. He didn't want Mom to be mad. He didn't want a lecture. He didn't want to be a bad child. + +"I'm sorry, Lily," he said. "I didn't pour it right. I will clean it up. I will use a towel. I will make it dry. Mom won't see it. Mom won't be mad. Mom won't give us a lecture. Mom won't say we are bad children." + +Lily smiled. She was not angry with Tom. She knew he was sorry. She knew he was a good brother. She helped him clean up the water. She used another towel. She made it dry. Mom didn't see it. Mom didn't be mad. Mom didn't give them a lecture. Mom didn't say they were bad children. + +They finished making tea and cake for their dolls and teddy bears. They had a tea party. They had fun. They were happy. They were good children. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big tree with many pears on it. They wanted to pick some pears and eat them. + +"Let's climb the tree and get some pears!" Ben said. + +"OK, but be careful!" Lily said. + +They climbed the tree and reached for the pears. But the pears were too high and the branches were too thin. Ben tried to stretch his arm and grab a pear, but he slipped and fell. He landed on the wet grass and hurt his knee. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Ben cried. + +Lily climbed down and ran to him. She saw his knee was bleeding and dirty. + +"Don't cry, Ben. I'll help you." Lily said. + +She took a leaf and wiped his knee. Then she hugged him and said, "It's OK, Ben. You'll be fine. Let's go home and tell Mom. She'll make it better." + +Ben nodded and smiled. He felt better with Lily by his side. They walked home, holding hands. + +Mom saw them and asked, "What happened, kids?" + +"We tried to pick some pears, but Ben fell and hurt his knee." Lily said. + +Mom looked at Ben's knee and said, "Oh, poor Ben. Come here, I'll clean it and put a band-aid on it. Then you can have some pears from the fridge. They're sweet and juicy." + +"Thank you, Mom." Ben said. + +Mom hugged them and said, "You're welcome, kids. I'm glad you're OK. Next time, be more careful when you climb trees. And don't forget to relax and have fun." + +Lily and Ben learned a lesson that day. They learned that climbing trees can be dangerous and that they should be careful. They also learned that relaxing and having fun is important, but not more than being safe and helping each other. They thanked Mom for the pears and ate them happily. They were the best pears they ever had. +Tom and Lily were best friends. They liked to play together in the park. One day, they saw a big castle made of sand. It had towers, walls and flags. It looked very nice. + +"Wow, look at that castle!" Tom said. "Who made it?" + +"I don't know," Lily said. "But I want to play with it. It looks so fun!" + +They ran to the castle and started to touch it. They wanted to make it their own. But then, a boy came out from behind a tree. He looked angry. + +"Hey, stop that!" he shouted. "That's my castle! I made it with my dad. Go away!" + +Tom and Lily were scared. They did not know the boy. They did not mean to hurt his castle. + +"Sorry, we didn't know," Lily said. "It's a very nice castle. Can we play with you?" + +The boy looked at them. He saw that they were not bad. They were just curious. He felt a little sorry for them. + +"Okay, you can play with me," he said. "But you have to be careful. Don't break anything. And I will explain to you how I made it. It took a long time and a lot of work." + +Tom and Lily were happy. They thanked the boy and followed him. He showed them his tools, his buckets and his molds. He explained to them how he mixed the sand and the water, how he shaped the towers and the walls, and how he decorated the flags. He was very proud of his castle. + +Tom and Lily listened and learned. They helped him to fix some parts that were falling. They added some shells and stones to make it more beautiful. They had a lot of fun together. + +They became friends with the boy. His name was Sam. He was happy to share his castle with them. He was not envious of them. He was glad to have more friends. + +Tom and Lily learned a lesson. They learned to respect other people's things. They learned to ask before they touch. They learned to appreciate other people's work. They learned to share and to make friends. They were not envious of Sam. They were grateful to him. +Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play with their toys, but sometimes they fight. One day, they fight over a big truck. Tom says, "It is mine!" Sam says, "No, it is mine!" They pull and push the truck. They are very angry. + +Mom hears the noise. She comes to their room. She sees the fight. She is not happy. She says, "Stop! Fighting is bad. You need to share. Sharing is good. Why don't you take turns with the truck?" + +Tom and Sam look at Mom. They feel sorry. They say, "Sorry, Mom. Sorry, brother." They hug each other. They decide to take turns with the truck. They say, "Thank you, Mom. Thank you, brother." They smile. + +Mom is happy. She says, "Good. I am proud of you. You improve your behavior. You are kind and fair. You can play with the truck for a while. Then, I have a surprise for you." + +Tom and Sam are curious. They ask, "What is the surprise, Mom?" Mom says, "You will see. It is something enormous and fun. You will love it." She leaves the room. + +Tom and Sam wonder what the surprise is. They play with the truck peacefully. They are excited. They can't wait to see the surprise. They hope it is another toy. They think Mom is the best. +Ben and Lily are friends. They go to the same school. They wear the same uniform: a red shirt and blue pants. They like to play and learn together. + +One day, they have a problem. They want to play with the same toy. It is a big puzzle with many pieces. They both like puzzles. They both want to solve it. + +"Please, let me have the puzzle," Ben says. + +"No, I want it. I saw it first," Lily says. + +They start to pull the puzzle. They are not happy. They are not friendly. + +Miss Kim is their teacher. She sees them. She comes to them. + +"What is going on, Ben and Lily?" she asks. + +"We both want the puzzle, Miss Kim," Ben says. + +"We can't share it, Miss Kim," Lily says. + +Miss Kim smiles. She has an idea. + +"Why don't you work together, Ben and Lily?" she says. "You can solve the puzzle faster and have more fun. You can take turns to put the pieces. You can help each other. You can be friendly." + +Ben and Lily think. They like Miss Kim's idea. They nod. + +"Okay, Miss Kim. We will try," Ben says. + +"Yes, Miss Kim. We will share," Lily says. + +They let go of the puzzle. They sit next to each other. They start to solve the puzzle. They say sorry to each other. They smile. They are happy. They are friendly. +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They saw a big egg on the grass. It was yellow and shiny. + +"Wow, look at that egg!" Lily said. "Maybe it has a surprise inside." + +"Let's open it and see," Ben said. He picked up the egg and tried to crack it. But it was too hard. + +They took the egg to the porch and put it on a chair. They went to get a hammer from the shed. + +When they came back, they saw that the egg was not on the chair. It was on the floor, and it was not an egg anymore. It was a puddle of goo. + +"What happened?" Lily asked. + +"The sun was too hot. It made the egg melt," Ben said. + +They looked at the goo. It was sticky and smelly. They did not like it. + +"Yuck, that's not a surprise. That's a mess," Lily said. + +They went to tell their mom. She was in the kitchen, making cookies. + +"Mom, we found an egg in the garden, but it melted," Ben said. + +"An egg? Are you sure?" Mom asked. + +She followed them to the porch and saw the goo. She smiled. + +"That's not an egg, my dears. That's a plastic Easter egg. It was filled with candy, but the sun melted it. I'm sorry you didn't get to enjoy it," she said. + +Lily and Ben felt sad. They wanted candy, not goo. + +"Can we have some cookies instead?" Lily asked. + +"Of course you can. Come on, let's go inside and wash your hands. I'm glad you were having fun in the garden, but next time, be careful with the eggs," Mom said. + +Lily and Ben nodded. They followed Mom to the kitchen. They smelled the cookies. They felt happy again. They forgot about the egg. They liked cookies better. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys. One day, they find a big box of toys in the garage. They open the box and see many toys. They see cars, dolls, balls, and books. They also see a toy penguin. + +"Look, a penguin!" Lily says. She picks up the toy penguin and hugs it. "It is soft and black and white. I like it." + +"Can I see it?" Ben asks. He wants to play with the toy penguin too. + +"OK, but be careful," Lily says. She gives the toy penguin to Ben. Ben holds the toy penguin and looks at it. He sees a tag on the toy penguin. He tries to read it. + +"What does it say?" Lily asks. + +"It says...dry...clean...only," Ben says. He sounds out the words slowly. "What does that mean?" + +Lily thinks for a moment. She remembers what her mom told her about dry cleaning. "It means you can't wash it with water," she says. "You have to take it to a special place where they make it clean and dry." + +"Why?" Ben asks. + +"Because water can make it wet and dirty and bad," Lily says. "Some toys are like that. They are rich toys. They need special care." + +"Oh," Ben says. He feels a little sad. He likes the toy penguin, but he also likes to play with water. He likes to splash and squirt and make bubbles. He wonders if he can play with the toy penguin and water. + +"Can we play with the toy penguin and water?" he asks Lily. + +Lily shakes her head. "No, we can't," she says. "We have to keep it dry. If we play with water, we have to use other toys. Like this ball. It is a water ball. It can get wet and dry and it is still good." + +Ben looks at the ball. It is red and blue and shiny. It looks fun. He smiles. "OK, let's play with the ball and water," he says. He gives the toy penguin back to Lily. Lily puts the toy penguin back in the box. She closes the box and puts it away. + +They go to the backyard. They fill a bucket with water. They take turns throwing the ball in the water and catching it. They laugh and have fun. They forget about the toy penguin. They are happy. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the garden. The garden has many flowers and trees. It is lovely. + +One day, Lily and Tom find a big ruler. It is yellow and has numbers on it. They wonder what it is for. + +"Let's measure things with it!" Lily says. + +"OK, what do we measure?" Tom asks. + +They look around the garden. They see a sunflower, a fence, a bench, and a birdhouse. + +"Let's measure the sunflower first!" Lily says. She holds the ruler next to the sunflower. "It is very tall. It is 12 numbers tall." + +"Wow, that is taller than me!" Tom says. He tries to reach the top of the sunflower, but he can't. + +"Let's measure the fence next!" Tom says. He puts the ruler on the ground next to the fence. "It is not so tall. It is 5 numbers tall." + +"That is taller than you, but not taller than me!" Lily says. She stands next to the fence and shows Tom. + +"Let's measure the bench next!" Lily says. She puts the ruler on the bench. "It is long. It is 10 numbers long." + +"That is longer than both of us!" Tom says. He lies down on the bench and stretches his arms and legs. + +"Let's measure the birdhouse last!" Tom says. He holds the ruler up to the birdhouse. "It is small. It is 3 numbers high and 4 numbers wide." + +"That is smaller than both of us!" Lily says. She puts her hand on the birdhouse and feels the wood. + +They measure everything in the garden. They have fun. They learn new words. They love the garden. It is lovely. +Tim and Jen are twins. They like to play outside. One day, they see a big gate. The gate is open. They want to see what is behind the gate. + +"Let's go, Jen!" Tim says. "Maybe there is a fun place to play." + +"OK, Tim!" Jen says. "But we have to be careful. Mom and Dad told us not to wander too far." + +They hold hands and walk through the gate. They see a lot of green grass and flowers. They also see some animals. There are cows, sheep, pigs and chickens. They are chubby and make funny noises. + +"Wow, look at the animals, Jen!" Tim says. "They are so cute and fat. Can we pet them?" + +"I don't know, Tim," Jen says. "Maybe they are not friendly. Maybe they belong to someone." + +They see a man walking towards them. He is wearing a hat and boots. He has a big smile on his face. + +"Hello, little ones," the man says. "What are you doing here? This is my farm. Do you like my animals?" + +"Yes, sir," Tim says. "They are very nice. We are sorry, we did not know this was your place. We just wanted to see what was behind the gate." + +"That's OK, kids," the man says. "I'm glad you like my farm. But you should not wander too far from your home. It can be dangerous. Where are your mom and dad?" + +"They are at our house," Jen says. "It is not far from here. We can show you." + +"OK, then," the man says. "Let's go back to the gate. I will walk with you and make sure you get home safely. And maybe next time, you can ask your mom and dad to bring you here. I can show you more of my farm and let you feed the animals. How does that sound?" + +"Thank you, sir," Tim and Jen say. "That sounds great. We would love to come back." + +They walk back to the gate with the man. They wave goodbye to the animals. They are happy they saw a new place, but they also learned a lesson. They will not wander too far again. +Sara and Tom are friends. They live next to each other. They like to play in the yard. They have a big ball and a small hoop. + +One day, they decide to play a game. They take turns to throw the ball into the hoop. Sara goes first. She throws the ball, but it misses the hoop. She tries again, but it misses again. She feels sad. + +Tom sees Sara is sad. He is a compassionate friend. He says, "Don't worry, Sara. You can do it. Try to jump when you throw the ball. It will help you aim better." + +Sara listens to Tom. She jumps and throws the ball. The ball goes into the hoop. She is happy. She says, "Thank you, Tom. You are a good friend. You helped me." + +Tom smiles. He says, "You are welcome, Sara. You are a good friend too. You are brave and fun. Do you want to play some more?" + +Sara nods. She says, "Yes, I do. Let's play some more. You go next. I will cheer for you." + +They play some more. They have fun. They are happy. They are good neighbors and good friends. +Tom and Lily were twins who lived in a big house with their wealthy parents. They had many toys and games in their room, but they always wanted more. One day, their father came home with a big surprise. He had bought them a new bike each, with shiny wheels and bells. + +"Wow, thank you, daddy!" Tom and Lily said, and ran to hug him. They were very excited to try their new bikes. + +"Let's go outside and ride them!" Tom said. + +"OK, but I want to go first!" Lily said. + +"No, I want to go first!" Tom said. + +They started to argue and pull the bikes from each other. Their father frowned and said, "Stop that, children. You can both ride your bikes, but you have to take turns and share. If you can't do that, I will take them back to the store." + +Tom and Lily looked at each other and felt ashamed. They didn't want to lose their new bikes. They said sorry to their father and to each other. They agreed to take turns and share their bikes. They went outside and rode their bikes happily. They learned that being wealthy is not as important as being kind and fair. +Tom and Anna liked to play with their big box of toys. They had many things to make stories with: cars, dolls, animals, and blocks. One day, they decided to build a castle with their blocks. They put the blocks on top of each other, and made a tall tower, a gate, and a wall. + +"Look at our castle!" Tom said. "It is very big and strong. We are the king and the queen of the castle. No one can come in without our permission." + +Anna nodded. She liked their castle too. She took a scarf from the box and tied it to a stick. She put the stick on the top of the tower. "This is our flag," she said. "It shows that we are famous and important. Everyone can see our flag from far away." + +Tom and Anna smiled. They were proud of their castle and their flag. They pretended to have a feast, a dance, and a parade in their castle. They had a lot of fun. + +But then, their little brother Ben came into the room. He saw the castle and the flag, and he wanted to play too. He ran towards the castle and tried to grab the flag. "I want the flag!" he shouted. "Give me the flag!" + +Tom and Anna saw Ben and got angry. They did not want him to ruin their castle and their flag. They shouted back at him. "No, Ben! Go away! This is our castle and our flag! You cannot have them!" + +Ben did not listen. He pulled the flag hard, and the stick fell down. The stick hit the tower, and the tower fell down too. The blocks crashed to the floor, and the castle was broken. + +Tom and Anna cried. They were sad and mad. They had worked hard to build their castle and their flag, and now they were gone. They glared at Ben and said, "Ben, you are bad! You broke our castle and our flag! You are not our friend!" + +Ben looked at Tom and Anna and felt sorry. He did not mean to break their castle and their flag. He just wanted to play with them. He said, "I'm sorry, Tom and Anna. I did not want to be bad. I wanted to be your friend. Can we play together?" + +Tom and Anna looked at Ben and thought for a moment. They were still sad and mad, but they also liked their brother. They knew he was sorry. They said, "OK, Ben. We forgive you. You can be our friend. But you have to help us build a new castle and a new flag. And you have to be careful and nice." + +Ben nodded. He was happy. He said, "OK, Tom and Anna. I will help you. I will be careful and nice. Thank you for being my friends." + +Tom, Anna, and Ben hugged each other. They picked up the blocks and started to build a new castle and a new flag. They played together and had a lot of fun. +Lila loves to ride her bike. She likes to go fast and feel the wind on her face. She has a red bike with a bell and a basket. In her basket, she has her best friend, a green parrot named Pipo. Pipo likes to ride with Lila and talk to her. + +One day, Lila and Pipo go to the park. They see many flowers and trees and birds. They also see a big dog. The dog is black and has a loud bark. He runs after Lila and Pipo. He wants to play, but Lila and Pipo are scared. + +"Go away, dog!" Pipo says. "You are not nice!" + +But the dog does not listen. He jumps on Lila's bike and makes it fall. Lila and Pipo fall too. Lila scrapes her knee and Pipo hits his wing. They are hurt and sad. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Lila cries. "My knee hurts!" + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Pipo cries. "My wing hurts!" + +The dog sees that Lila and Pipo are hurt. He feels sorry. He stops barking and licks their faces. He wants to say sorry. + +"Sorry, sorry, sorry!" the dog says. "I did not mean to hurt you!" + +Lila and Pipo look at the dog. He has big brown eyes and a wagging tail. He looks friendly. Lila and Pipo forgive him. + +"It's okay, dog," Lila says. "We are not mad." + +"It's okay, dog," Pipo says. "We are not mad." + +The dog is happy. He gives Lila and Pipo a hug. He helps them get up and find their bike. He also finds a band-aid for Lila's knee and a leaf for Pipo's wing. He makes them feel better. + +"Thank you, dog," Lila says. "You are nice." + +"Thank you, dog," Pipo says. "You are nice." + +Lila and Pipo become friends with the dog. They ride their bike together and play in the park. They have fun and laugh. They are happy. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play with their bicycles. They ride fast and have fun. One day, they see a big bicycle near the park. It is red and shiny. It has a bell and a basket. + +"Wow, look at that bicycle!" Tom says. "It is so nice. I want to try it." + +Lily shakes her head. "No, Tom. That is not our bicycle. It belongs to someone else. We should not touch it." + +But Tom does not listen. He runs to the big bicycle. He removes the lock with his hands. It is easy. He jumps on the bicycle and rings the bell. "Ha ha, this is fun!" he says. + +Lily is scared. She follows Tom. She tries to stop him. "Tom, please. Give back the bicycle. This is wrong. You are stealing." + +But Tom does not listen. He rides away from Lily. He goes to the street. He does not look for cars. He does not see the big truck. The truck is fast and loud. It hits Tom and the bicycle. There is a big crash. Tom and the bicycle are broken. + +Lily cries. She runs to Tom. She calls for help. But it is too late. Tom is gone. The bicycle is gone. Lily is alone and sad. + +The moral of the story is: Do not take what is not yours. It is not nice. It is not safe. It can hurt you and others. Listen to your friends. They care for you. +Tom and Jen are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big jar of jam on a bench. They are hungry and they love jam. + +"Let's eat some jam," Tom says. He opens the jar and takes a big spoon. He gives some to Jen. They smile and lick the jam. + +But they do not see the sign on the jar. It says: "Do not eat. This jam is bad. It will make you sick." + +They eat more and more jam. They do not remember to share with anyone else. They are greedy and lazy. They do not play or run. They just sit and eat. + +Soon, they feel bad. Their tummies hurt. They are dizzy and hot. They want to cry. They look for help. But no one is in the park. Everyone has gone home. + +They are alone and sick. They wish they did not eat the jam. They wish they were not greedy and lazy. They wish they remembered to share. But it is too late. They have eaten all the jam. And the jam is bad. +Lily liked to play with her cards. She had many cards with pictures of animals and things. She tried to find two cards that had the same picture. That was how she played match. + +One day, she found a card that was different. It had words on it, not pictures. She could not read the words, but she saw a number. It was a big number: 100. She thought it was a special card. Maybe it was a message for her. + +She showed the card to her mom. Her mom looked at the card and frowned. She said, "Lily, where did you get this card?" Lily said, "I found it in my cards. It is a message for me." Her mom said, "No, Lily, this is not a message for you. This is a bill. A bill is something you have to pay when you buy something. This bill is very big. It is for the TV we bought last month. We have to pay it soon, or we will be in trouble." + +Lily did not understand. She said, "But I like the TV. It has cartoons and songs. Why do we have to pay for it?" Her mom said, "Because we did not have enough money to buy it. We borrowed money from the bank. The bank is a place that gives you money when you need it, but you have to give it back with more money. That is how they make money. The bill is how they tell us how much we have to give back." + +Lily felt sad. She said, "But we don't have more money. We are poor. How can we give back the money?" Her mom said, "I don't know, Lily. I don't know. We made a mistake. We bought something we could not afford. We were greedy. Now we have to pay the price." + +Lily cried. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I'm sorry. I wish I could help." Her mom hugged her and said, "It's not your fault, Lily. It's not your fault. I love you. We will find a way. We will find a way." But Lily could see the worry in her mom's eyes. She knew they were in big trouble. She wished she never found the card. She wished she never played match. +Ben and Lily liked to play in the garden. They had a big box of toys and a small shovel. One day, they had a new idea. They wanted to bury their toys and pretend they were mail. + +They dug holes in the dirt and put their toys inside. They covered them with more dirt and made signs with sticks and leaves. The signs said who the mail was for. Ben buried a car for Dad. Lily buried a doll for Mom. They buried a ball for their dog Spot. + +They were having fun until they heard a loud bark. It was Spot. He smelled the toys in the dirt and wanted to play with them. He ran to the garden and started to dig. He dug up the car, the doll and the ball. He made a big mess. He tore the signs and scattered the leaves. + +Ben and Lily were sad and angry. They shouted at Spot and tried to get their toys back. But Spot was too fast and too strong. He ran away with the toys in his mouth. Ben and Lily chased him, but they could not catch him. + +They realized they had been foolish. They should not have buried their toys. They should have kept them safe and clean. They learned their lesson. They never buried their toys again. They only buried bones for Spot. And Spot was happy. +Tom and Jen like to play with their toy trains. They have many trains of different colors and sizes. They make tracks on the floor and pretend to be drivers. + +One day, they find a big train in the garage. It is red and shiny and has a loud engine. Tom and Jen want to play with it, but it is too heavy for them. + +"Let's try to move it," Tom says. He pulls on the front of the train. Jen pushes on the back. The train moves a little bit, but then it stops. + +"It's stuck," Jen says. She looks around and sees a lever on the wall. "Maybe this will help," she says. She pulls on the lever. + +The lever makes a loud noise. The train starts to move again, but this time it goes very fast. Tom and Jen are scared. They try to stop the train, but they can't. + +"Help!" Tom shouts. "The train is wild!" + +The train zooms out of the garage and onto the street. It bumps into cars and trees and people. Tom and Jen hold on tight. They wish they had not played with the big train. + +Suddenly, the train reaches a bridge. The bridge is broken. There is a big gap in the middle. The train cannot cross the bridge. It drops into the water with a splash. + +Tom and Jen are wet and cold. They are also very sorry. They see their dad running towards them. He is angry and worried. + +"What were you thinking?" he asks. "That train is not a toy. It is dangerous. You could have been hurt." + +Tom and Jen look at each other. They know they have done a bad thing. They say sorry to their dad. They promise to never play with the big train again. They only want to play with their toy trains. They are safer and more fun. +Lily and Ben were playing with bubbles in the park. They had a big bottle of pink bubble soap and a wand with a circle at the end. They took turns to dip the wand in the soap and blow through the circle. The bubbles flew in the air and made pretty colors in the sun. + +"Look, Lily, I made a big bubble!" Ben said, holding the wand up high. + +"Wow, Ben, that's a very big bubble!" Lily said, clapping her hands. "Can I try?" + +"Sure, Lily, here you go." Ben gave the wand to Lily and she dipped it in the soap. She blew through the circle and made a big bubble too. She smiled and tried to catch it with her hand. + +But then, a loud noise made them jump. It was a dog barking. The dog ran towards them and jumped on the bubble. The bubble popped and the soap splashed on the dog's fur. + +"Hey, stop that!" Ben shouted at the dog. "You popped our bubble!" + +The dog wagged its tail and licked Ben's face. He was not angry, he just wanted to play. + +"Sorry, kids, he's very friendly." A man came and took the dog by the collar. "He loves bubbles. What's his name?" + +"His name is Spot." The man said. "And yours?" + +"I'm Ben and this is Lily." Ben said, wiping his face. + +"Nice to meet you, Ben and Lily. I'm Tom." The man said. "Do you want to play with Spot and the bubbles?" + +Lily and Ben looked at each other and nodded. They liked Spot and Tom. They shared the pink bubble soap and the wand with them. They had fun making and popping bubbles together. They did not shut the bottle until it was empty. +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They saw a shiny thing under a bush. They went to look at it. + +"Wow, it is gold!" Lily said. "It is so pretty and bright!" + +"Let me see!" Ben said. He grabbed the gold thing from Lily. It was a necklace with a big gold star. + +"No, give it back!" Lily said. She tried to pull the necklace from Ben. + +They heard a loud noise. They looked up and saw a big fire in the sky. It was coming closer and closer to them. + +"Run, run!" Lily shouted. "The fire will burn us!" + +They dropped the necklace and ran to the house. They told their mom what they saw. + +Mom hugged them and said, "You are safe now. That was a bad fire. It was a rocket that went wrong. It had a lot of gold inside, but it exploded." + +"Is the gold gone?" Ben asked. + +"Yes, the gold is gone. It burned in the fire. But you know what? You have something more precious than gold. You have each other. You are my gold stars." Mom said. + +Lily and Ben smiled and hugged Mom. They were happy and safe. They did not want the gold thing anymore. +Lily and Tom are playing with their toys in the living room. Lily has a doll that can speak when she presses a button. Tom has a car that can move when he pulls a string. They are having fun making noises and stories with their toys. + +But then Lily sees a shiny box under the sofa. She is curious and wants to see what is inside. She puts her doll down and crawls to the box. She opens it and finds a necklace with a big red stone. She thinks it is very pretty and puts it on. + +"Look, Tom, I found a necklace!" she says, showing off her new accessory. + +Tom looks at the necklace and frowns. He thinks it is fake and not very nice. He wants to play with his car, not with a necklace. + +"That is not a real necklace, Lily. That is a fake necklace. It is not yours. You should put it back in the box," he says, pulling his car. + +Lily feels hurt and angry. She likes the necklace and thinks it is real. She does not want to put it back in the box. She thinks Tom is mean and jealous. + +"That is not a fake necklace, Tom. That is a real necklace. It is mine. You are just mad because you do not have one," she says, holding the necklace. + +They start to argue and shout at each other. They do not want to play together anymore. They turn away from each other and play with their own toys. + +But soon they feel bored and lonely. They miss each other and their games. They wish they could speak and play nicely again. They look at each other and feel sorry. + +"Lily, I am sorry I said your necklace is fake. It is very pretty and you can keep it," Tom says, smiling. + +"Tom, I am sorry I said your car is not fun. It is very cool and you can share it with me," Lily says, smiling back. + +They hug and make up. They decide to play with both the necklace and the car. They have fun making noises and stories with their toys again. They are happy and friends again. +Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big table with many bowls of food. They are hungry, so they go to the table. + +"Hello, children," a lady says. "Do you want some salad?" + +"Yes, please," Sara and Tom say. They take a bowl of green leaves and a spoon. + +They start to eat the salad. But they make a face. The salad is sour. They do not like it. + +"Yuck!" Sara says. "This salad is sour. I do not want it." + +"Me neither," Tom says. "It is not good." + +They put the bowl back on the table. They look for something else to eat. + +"Sorry, children," the lady says. "The salad is sour because it has vinegar. Vinegar is a sour liquid. Some people like it, some people do not. Do you want to try something else?" + +Sara and Tom nod. They see a bowl of red and yellow fruit. They take a bowl and a fork. + +They eat the fruit. It is sweet and juicy. They like it. + +"Mmm!" Sara says. "This fruit is good. I like it." + +"Me too," Tom says. "It is yummy." + +They finish the fruit. They are happy and full. + +"Thank you, lady," Sara and Tom say. "We like your fruit. But we do not like your salad." + +"You are welcome, children," the lady says. "I am glad you like the fruit. But maybe next time you can try the salad again. Maybe you will like it then." + +Sara and Tom smile. They say goodbye to the lady. They go back to the park. They play until it is time to go home. They have a good day. +Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park and share their toys. One day, they found a big book under a tree. It had many pictures and words. Lily opened the book and saw a story about a princess and a frog. + +"Look, Ben, this is a story about magic!" Lily said. "The princess kisses the frog and he turns into a prince. Do you want to hear it?" + +Ben nodded. He liked stories about magic. Lily started to read the story with her best voice. She pointed at the pictures and made funny sounds. Ben listened and smiled. + +When Lily came to the end of the story, she had an idea. She looked at Ben and said, "Do you want to try the magic? Maybe we can find a frog and kiss it. Maybe it will turn into something else." + +Ben thought for a moment. He was curious, but he was also scared. He did not like frogs. They were slimy and green. He shook his head. He said, "No, thank you. I don't want to kiss a frog. I like you better." + +Lily smiled. She said, "I like you better, too. You are my best friend. You don't need to kiss a frog. You can kiss me instead." + +Ben blushed. He said, "Okay. But only if you want to." + +Lily nodded. She said, "I want to. Maybe we will have magic, too." + +They leaned closer and kissed each other on the cheek. They felt a warm and happy feeling in their hearts. They hugged and laughed. They did not know if they had magic, but they knew they had love. They closed the book and put it back under the tree. They held hands and ran to the swings. They did not see the grumpy old man who was watching them from behind the tree. He was the owner of the book. He was a wizard. He was not happy that they had read his book. He muttered to himself, "Those kids have no respect for magic. They don't know what they are doing. They don't know what they have done. They will soon find out." He opened his book and turned to a page with a spell. He pointed his finger at Lily and Ben and said, "Abracadabra!" +Lily and Ben were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to kick the ball and catch it and throw it. The sky was gloomy and grey. It looked like rain. + +"Let's go home soon," Lily said. "I don't want to get wet." + +"OK," Ben said. "But one more kick." + +He kicked the ball very hard. It flew over the fence and into the street. Lily and Ben ran to the fence and looked. They saw a big car with lights and a siren. It was a police car. The ball hit the police car and bounced off. + +"Oh no!" Lily said. "We made a mistake!" + +The police car stopped and a man got out. He was wearing a blue uniform and a hat. He had a badge and a radio. He looked angry. + +"Who did this?" he asked. "Who threw the ball at my car?" + +Lily and Ben were scared. They did not want to get in trouble. They hid behind the fence and did not say anything. + +The man saw them. He walked to the fence and looked over. He saw Lily and Ben. They looked sad and sorry. + +"Did you do this?" he asked. + +Lily and Ben nodded. They said, "We are sorry. We did not mean to. We were playing and the ball went too far." + +The man sighed. He picked up the ball and gave it to them. He said, "It's OK. I know you did not mean to. But you have to be careful. You could have hurt someone or damaged the car. Next time, play in a safer place. And don't run into the street. It's dangerous." + +Lily and Ben said, "Yes, sir. We will. Thank you for the ball. And we are sorry again." + +The man smiled. He said, "You're welcome. And it's OK. Just be more careful. Now go home before it rains. You don't want to catch a cold." + +Lily and Ben said, "Bye, sir." They took the ball and ran home. They were happy that the man was nice and did not yell at them. They were also happy that they were dry and not wet. They learned a lesson and decided to play in a safer place next time. +Jill and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to dig in the sand and look for shiny things. Sometimes they found coins or buttons or rocks. + +One day, Jill found something very shiny and sparkly. It was a diamond! She was very happy and showed it to Tom. + +"Wow, Jill, you found a diamond! It is so pretty and bright!" Tom said. + +"Can I hold it, please?" he asked. + +"Okay, but be careful. It is fragile. It can break if you drop it or squeeze it too hard," Jill said. + +She gave the diamond to Tom. He held it in his hand and looked at it. He saw all the colors of the rainbow in it. + +"It is like magic," he said. + +He wanted to keep it for himself. He thought of a plan. + +"Jill, look over there! I see a big red truck!" he said. + +He pointed to the other side of the park. Jill turned her head to look. She liked trucks. + +When she was not looking, Tom put the diamond in his pocket. He thought he was very clever. + +But he was not. Jill saw him do it. She was angry and sad. + +"Tom, you are not nice! You took my diamond! Give it back to me!" she said. + +She ran to him and tried to get the diamond from his pocket. Tom ran away from her. He did not want to give it back. + +They chased each other around the park. They did not see the big hole in the ground. Tom fell into the hole. He hit his head and dropped the diamond. It broke into many pieces. + +Tom cried. He was hurt and sorry. Jill saw what happened. She was sorry too. + +She helped Tom out of the hole. She hugged him and said, "It is okay, Tom. I forgive you. You are my friend. But next time, do not take my things. And do not delay to say sorry." + +Tom nodded. He said, "I am sorry, Jill. You are my friend too. The diamond was yours. But now it is gone. It was fragile." + +They looked at the broken diamond. It was not shiny and sparkly anymore. It was just sand. + +They decided to play something else. They learned a lesson. They did not want to lose their friendship over a diamond. +Lily liked ice-cream very much. She liked all kinds of ice-cream, but her favorite was chocolate. She liked how it was sweet and cold and black. She liked to eat it with a big spoon and make funny faces. + +One day, Lily went to the park with her mom and dad. They saw a big truck with a picture of a lion on it. The truck had a sign that said "Ice-Cream". Lily was very happy. She asked her mom and dad if she could have some ice-cream. They said yes and gave her some money. + +Lily ran to the truck and looked at all the flavors. She saw vanilla, strawberry, banana, and chocolate. She knew what she wanted. She pointed to the chocolate and said "Please". The man in the truck smiled and gave her a cone with a big scoop of chocolate ice-cream. + +Lily thanked the man and walked back to her mom and dad. She licked her ice-cream and felt very happy. She saw a big slide and wanted to go on it. She asked her mom and dad if she could go on the slide. They said yes and told her to be careful. + +Lily ran to the slide and climbed up the stairs. She saw a boy at the top of the slide. He had a cone with vanilla ice-cream. He looked at Lily and saw her chocolate ice-cream. He wanted it. He said "Give me your ice-cream". Lily said "No, it's mine". The boy said "Give it to me or I will roar like a lion". Lily said "No, you can't roar like a lion". The boy said "Yes, I can. Watch me". He opened his mouth and tried to roar. But instead of a roar, he made a loud sneeze. His ice-cream flew out of his cone and landed on his head. He looked very silly. Lily laughed and said "You can't roar like a lion. You sneeze like a mouse". She slid down the slide and ran to her mom and dad. She told them what happened and they laughed too. She ate her ice-cream and felt very happy. She liked chocolate ice-cream very much. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big box near the slide. They run to the box and open it. Inside, they find many shoes. Some shoes are old and some shoes are modern. + +"Wow, look at these shoes!" Lily says. She picks up a pair of modern shoes. They are shiny and have lights on them. "They are so pretty!" + +"Can I try them?" Ben asks. He likes the lights too. He takes the shoes from Lily and puts them on his feet. But the shoes are too big for him. He tries to walk, but he falls down. + +"Ouch!" Ben says. He feels sad. He takes off the shoes and gives them back to Lily. "They are not good for me." + +Lily hugs Ben. She feels sorry for him. She looks at the box and finds another pair of shoes. They are old and have holes on them. But they are small and fit Ben's feet. + +"Here, try these shoes!" Lily says. She gives the old shoes to Ben. "They are good for you." + +Ben puts on the old shoes. They are not shiny or have lights, but they are comfortable. He can walk and run with them. He smiles. + +"Thank you, Lily!" Ben says. He feels happy. He hugs Lily back. "They are good for me." + +Lily and Ben play with their shoes in the park. They have fun. They do not care if their shoes are old or modern. They are friends. And that is the end of the story. +Anna and Ben are brother and sister. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a black cat. The cat has green eyes and a long tail. + +"Look, Anna, a cat!" Ben says. He runs to the cat. He wants to pet it. + +"Wait, Ben, don't run!" Anna says. She follows Ben. She is afraid of the cat. She thinks the cat might scratch or bite. + +The cat sees Ben and Anna. It does not like them. It hisses and runs away. Ben and Anna chase the cat. They want to catch it. + +"Come back, cat, come back!" Ben shouts. He is not afraid of the cat. He thinks the cat is cute. + +"Stop, Ben, stop!" Anna cries. She is scared of the cat. She thinks the cat is mean. + +The cat runs to a big tree. It climbs up the tree. Ben and Anna cannot reach it. They look up at the cat. The cat looks down at them. It meows loudly. + +"Bye, cat, bye!" Ben says. He waves to the cat. He is sad that the cat is gone. + +"Let's go, Ben, let's go!" Anna says. She pulls Ben's hand. She is happy that the cat is gone. + +They go back to their mom. She is sitting on a bench. She has a book and a sandwich. + +"Mom, mom, we saw a cat!" Ben says. He tells her about the cat. + +"Mom, mom, the cat was black!" Anna says. She tells her about the cat. + +Their mom smiles and hugs them. She is glad that they had fun. + +"Did you pet the cat?" she asks. + +"No, mom, the cat ran away!" Ben says. + +"Yes, mom, the cat ran away!" Anna says. + +They eat their sandwiches and drink their juice. They forget about the cat. They play in the park. They are happy. +Lia and Sam were playing in the park. They liked to pretend they were knights and dragons. Lia had a big stick that was her sword. Sam had a cardboard box that was his shield. + +"Roar!" Sam said. "I am a dragon and I will eat you!" + +"No, you won't!" Lia said. "I am a knight and I will stop you!" + +They ran towards each other, laughing and swinging their sword and shield. They had fun. + +But then a big dog came. It barked and ran after them. It wanted to play too, but it was scary. + +"Help!" Lia and Sam said. They dropped their sword and shield and ran to the bench where their mom was sitting. + +"Mom, mom, there is a big dog!" they said. + +Mom looked and saw the dog. It was not a bad dog, but it was too big and loud for the kids. + +"Shh, it's okay," mom said. "The dog won't hurt you. He just wants to play. But I won't allow him to bother you. Come here, I will shield you." + +She hugged them and made them feel safe. The dog ran away to find another friend. + +"Are you fine?" mom asked. + +"Yes, mom, we are fine," Lia and Sam said. "Thank you for shielding us." + +They smiled and kissed mom. Then they picked up their sword and shield and went back to play. They were brave knights and dragons again. +Lila liked to pretend she was a raven. She wore a black cape and a mask with a big beak. She flapped her arms and made loud caws. She flew around the yard and looked for shiny things. + +One day, she saw a real raven on a tree. It was big and black and had bright eyes. Lila wanted to be friends with it. She cawed and waved her cape. The raven looked at her and tilted its head. + +The raven was intelligent. It knew Lila was not a raven, but a human. It was curious about her. It flew down and landed on the fence. It cawed back and pecked at her cape. Lila smiled and offered it a shiny button. + +The raven took the button and flew back to the tree. It cawed again and dropped the button on a branch. It was a gift for Lila. Lila clapped and thanked the raven. She ran inside and got a shiny necklace. She came back and threw it to the raven. + +The raven caught the necklace and flew away. It was happy to have a new friend. Lila was happy too. She pretended she was a raven and followed the raven with her eyes. She hoped to see it again. +Sara liked to play with her dog Spot. Spot was big and brown and liked to run and jump and lick Sara's face. Sara's dad gave her Spot when she was two. He said Spot was a good dog and would always be her friend. + +One day, Sara and Spot went to the park with Sara's mom. They saw a big pond with ducks and fish. Sara wanted to feed the ducks, but Spot wanted to chase them. Sara's mom said no, Spot had to stay on the leash. She said ducks were not for chasing, they were for looking. She gave Sara some bread to throw to the ducks. + +Sara threw the bread and the ducks came closer. They made funny noises and ate the bread. Sara laughed and clapped. Spot barked and pulled on the leash. He wanted to play with the ducks too. Sara's mom said, "Spot, be quiet. You are scaring the ducks. Promise me you will be good and stay with me." Spot wagged his tail and licked Sara's mom's hand. He promised. + +Sara's mom saw a bench near the pond. She said, "Sara, let's sit here and watch the ducks. I have a newspaper to read. You can play with Spot, but don't go too far." Sara said okay and took Spot's leash. She sat next to her mom and petted Spot. Spot was happy and licked Sara's face. + +Sara's mom opened the newspaper and started to read. She saw a big headline that said, "Dangerous Snake Escapes from Zoo". She gasped and read more. The snake was a cobra, a very poisonous snake that could kill with one bite. The zookeepers did not know where it was or how it got out. They warned people to be careful and call the police if they saw it. + +Sara's mom was scared. She looked around the park and wondered if the snake was hiding somewhere. She did not see it, but she saw something else. She saw a big hole in the fence near the pond. She wondered if the snake had come through the hole. She decided to leave the park and go home. She said, "Sara, we have to go. There is something bad in the park. Come on, let's go." She folded the newspaper and put it in her bag. + +Sara did not want to go. She was having fun with Spot and the ducks. She said, "Mom, can we stay a little longer? Please?" Sara's mom said no, they had to go now. She said, "Sara, trust me. There is something very bad in the park. Something that can hurt you and Spot. We have to go." She took Spot's leash and pulled him away from the pond. + +Sara did not understand. She did not see anything bad. She saw only ducks and fish and flowers. She did not want to leave. She said, "Mom, what is bad? What can hurt us?" Sara's mom said, "Sara, I will tell you later. Just come with me. Hurry." She walked faster and faster. + +Sara followed her mom, but she was sad and curious. She looked back at the pond and the ducks. She saw something else. She saw a long, thin, shiny thing coming out of the hole in the fence. It had a big head and two small eyes. It looked like a snake. A very big snake. A very bad snake. + +Sara screamed and pointed. She said, "Mom, look! Look! A snake! A snake!" Sara's mom turned and saw the snake too. She screamed and ran. She said, "Sara, run! Run! It's the snake from the zoo! It's the cobra! It can kill us! Run!" She dragged Sara and Spot away from the pond. + +The snake saw them too. It hissed and slithered. It followed them. It wanted to bite them. It was hungry and angry. It was fast and smart. + +Sara, her mom, and Spot ran and ran. They ran to the car. They got in and locked the doors. They drove away. They were safe. + +Sara was scared and crying. She hugged Spot and said, "Spot, I'm sorry. I'm sorry we had to leave. I'm sorry we saw the snake. I'm sorry the snake was bad. I'm sorry the snake wanted to hurt us. I'm sorry." Spot licked her face and wagged his tail. He said, "Sara, it's okay. It's okay we had to leave. It's okay we saw the snake. It's okay the snake was bad. It's okay the snake wanted to hurt us. It's okay. I love you. I'm your friend. I promise." Sara +Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big house with a red roof. They wanted to see what was inside. + +"Let's go there," Tom said. "Maybe we can find something fun." + +"No, Tom," Lily said. "That is not our house. We should not go in. It is not nice." + +But Tom did not listen. He ran to the house and opened the door. Lily followed him, afraid that he would get in trouble. + +Inside the house, they saw many things. There were toys, books, clothes, and food. Tom was happy. He took a toy car and a book. He said, "Look, Lily, these are mine now. They are so cool." + +Lily was sad. She said, "Tom, these are not yours. They belong to someone else. You should not take them. It is wrong." + +But Tom did not listen. He said, "Who cares? They have so many things. They will not miss them. They are cheap." + +But then, they heard a loud voice. It was the owner of the house. He came back and saw them. He was angry. He said, "Who are you? What are you doing in my house? Why did you take my things?" + +Tom and Lily were scared. They dropped the things and ran away. The owner chased them. He said, "Stop, thieves! I will call the police!" + +Tom and Lily ran to the park. They were out of breath. They felt bad. They said, "We are sorry. We made a mistake. We should not have gone in the house. We should not have taken the things. We should have listened to Lily." + +They learned a lesson. They learned that it is not nice to go in someone else's house. They learned that it is not right to take someone else's things. They learned that it is not good to be greedy. They learned that cheap things can cost a lot. They decided to be good friends and to respect other people. They hoped that the owner would forgive them. They never did it again. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play outside at night. They had a big yard with a swing, a slide and a sandbox. They also had a flashlight that they used to make shadows on the wall. + +One night, they saw a bright, round thing in the sky. It was the moon. They wondered what it was made of and how it stayed up there. + +"Let's go to the moon!" Tom said. "Maybe we can find some cheese or some stars." + +"How can we go to the moon?" Lily asked. "It is too far and too high." + +Tom had an idea. He ran to the garage and found a ladder. He dragged it to the wall and leaned it against it. He climbed up the ladder with the flashlight in his hand. + +"Look, Lily, I'm almost at the moon!" he shouted. He pointed the flashlight at the moon and tried to touch it. + +Lily followed him up the ladder. She was scared, but she wanted to see the moon too. She reached the top of the ladder and saw Tom's hand. + +"Be careful, Tom, you might break the moon!" she said. + +Tom laughed. "Don't be silly, Lily, the moon is too big to break. Watch this!" He swung his hand at the moon and hit the wall. + +CRASH! + +The ladder fell down and Tom and Lily tumbled to the ground. The flashlight broke into pieces and the moon disappeared behind a cloud. + +Tom and Lily were hurt and scared. They started to cry. + +Their mom and dad heard the noise and came outside. They saw the broken ladder, the broken flashlight and the crying twins. + +"What happened here?" their mom asked. + +"We tried to go to the moon, but we broke it!" Tom and Lily sobbed. + +Their mom and dad hugged them and took them inside. They cleaned their wounds and gave them some milk and cookies. + +They explained to them that the moon was not broken, but just hiding behind a cloud. They also told them that the moon was very far away and they could not reach it with a ladder or a flashlight. + +They said that the moon was made of rock and dust, not cheese or stars. They said that the moon was beautiful and they could look at it, but not touch it. + +They said that they were proud of their curiosity and imagination, but they should be careful and not play with dangerous things. + +They tucked them in their beds and kissed them goodnight. They turned off the light and left the room. + +Tom and Lily looked out the window and saw the moon peeking out from the cloud. It was still bright and round. + +They smiled and whispered to each other. + +"Goodnight, moon." + +"Goodnight, moon." +Tom and Jen are twins. They like to play with toys in their room. One day, they find an old clock in a box. The clock is big and round and has numbers and hands. + +"Look, Jen, a clock!" Tom says. "I want to play with it!" + +"No, Tom, it is mine!" Jen says. "I saw it first!" + +They start to fight over the clock. They pull and push and shout. The clock falls on the floor and breaks. The hands stop moving and the numbers fall off. + +"Oh no!" Tom and Jen say. "We broke the clock!" + +Mom hears the noise and comes to their room. She sees the broken clock and the twins. She is sad and angry. + +"Tom and Jen, what did you do?" Mom says. "This clock was very old and special. It belonged to your grandpa. He gave it to me before he passed away. He told me to take good care of it and pass it to you when you grow up. But now it is ruined!" + +Tom and Jen feel sorry and ashamed. They hug Mom and say sorry. + +"Mom, we are sorry. We did not know. We were selfish and greedy. We should have shared the clock and played nicely." Tom says. + +"Yes, Mom, we are sorry. We did not mean to break the clock. We should have listened to you and respected the old things." Jen says. + +Mom hugs them back and says, "I forgive you, Tom and Jen. But you have to learn from this mistake. The clock was not just a toy. It was a memory of your grandpa. He loved you very much and wanted you to have it. But you have to earn it by being good and kind and honest. You have to pass on his values, not just his things." + +Tom and Jen nod and say, "We understand, Mom. We will try to be better. We will pass on grandpa's values. We love you and we miss him." + +Mom smiles and says, "I love you too, Tom and Jen. And I am sure he is watching over you and proud of you." She kisses them and says, "Now, let's see if we can fix the clock together." +Ben and Mia went to the beach with Mom and Dad. They liked to play in the sand and look for shells. They saw a big crab walking on the rocks. Ben wanted to catch the crab and put it in his bucket. + +"Can I catch the crab, Mom?" Ben asked. + +"No, Ben, you can't catch the crab. The crab is not a toy. It has sharp claws and it might pinch you. The crab lives on the rocks and needs water. You have to leave it alone," Mom said. + +"But I want to catch the crab. It looks fun. Please, Mom, please," Ben begged. + +"No, Ben, I said no. You have to listen to me. Catching the crab is not nice. It will make the crab miserable. How would you feel if someone took you away from your home and put you in a bucket?" Mom said. + +Ben thought for a moment. He did not like the idea of being taken away from his home and put in a bucket. He would be scared and sad. He did not want to make the crab feel that way. + +"Okay, Mom, I won't catch the crab. I will just look at it from far away. It is pretty and shiny. Maybe it has a family and friends on the rocks. I will let it be happy," Ben said. + +"Good, Ben, I'm proud of you. You are a kind and gentle boy. You can still play in the sand and look for shells. Maybe you will find something else that is fun and safe to play with," Mom said. + +Ben and Mia smiled and ran to the sand. They had a lot of fun at the beach. They did not bother the crab. They allowed the crab to live in peace. The crab was happy too. It waved its claws at them and thanked them in its own way. +Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play in the garden. They loved to see the flowers bloom in different colors and shapes. They also liked to listen to the birds sing and the bees buzz. They had a rhythm in their games, like hop and skip and clap and laugh. + +One day, they saw a big spider on a rose. It had eight legs and many eyes and it looked scary. Lily was fearful and hid behind Ben. Ben was brave and tried to shoo the spider away. But the spider did not move. It just stayed on the rose and spun a web. + +"Go away, spider!" Ben said. "You are not nice. You are making Lily scared. This is our garden, not yours." + +The spider did not answer. It just made a hissing sound and moved its legs. Ben and Lily felt a shiver down their spines. They did not like the spider at all. + +Then they heard a voice from behind the fence. It was their neighbor, Mr. Lee. He was an old man who liked to grow flowers and vegetables. He also liked to watch the spiders and the insects. + +"Hello, children," Mr. Lee said. "What are you doing here?" + +"We are playing, Mr. Lee," Ben said. "But there is a big spider on the rose and it is scary." + +Mr. Lee smiled and came over to the fence. He looked at the spider and said, "Oh, that is a garden spider. It is not scary. It is helpful. It eats the bugs that can hurt the flowers. It also makes beautiful webs that catch the sunlight. Do you want to see?" + +Ben and Lily nodded, but they were still fearful. Mr. Lee gently picked up the spider and showed it to them. He explained how the spider made its web and how it sensed the vibrations. He also told them that the spider was harmless to humans and that it would not bite them unless they hurt it. + +Ben and Lily felt more curious than fearful. They looked at the spider and saw its colors and patterns. They touched its web and felt its silk. They thanked Mr. Lee for teaching them about the spider and said goodbye. + +They went back to their games, but they did not shoo the spider away. They let it stay on the rose and spin its web. They learned that the spider was part of the garden, just like the flowers and the birds and the bees. They also learned that sometimes things that look scary can be interesting and friendly. They were happy and proud of themselves. They had a new rhythm in their games, like hop and skip and clap and smile. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play together and share their toys. Sometimes they have the same dream at night. They dream of flying in a big balloon over the clouds and seeing many animals. + +One morning, Lily wakes up and tells Ben about her dream. "Ben, I had a fun dream. We were in a big balloon and we saw a lion and a giraffe and a monkey. Did you have the same dream?" + +Ben nods and smiles. "Yes, I did. It was a great dream. We were so high and free. The animals were friendly and waved at us. Do you think we can fly in a balloon for real?" + +Lily thinks for a moment. She remembers that their mom has a picture of a balloon on the wall. She points at it and says, "Maybe we can. Mom has a balloon picture. Maybe she knows how to fly in a balloon. Let's ask her." + +They run to their mom, who is making breakfast. They show her the picture and ask her, "Mom, can we fly in a balloon like in our dream? Please, please, please!" + +Mom looks at the picture and smiles. She hugs them and says, "That's a beautiful dream, my loves. I'm glad you had it. But flying in a balloon is not easy. It's very serious. You need a lot of things, like gas and fire and a basket and a pilot. And you need to be careful of the wind and the birds and the trees. It's not like playing with a toy balloon." + +Lily and Ben feel a little sad. They really want to fly in a balloon. But they also understand that mom knows best. They say, "OK, mom. We understand. Flying in a balloon is serious. Maybe when we are bigger, we can try it. But can we still dream of it?" + +Mom kisses them and says, "Of course, you can. Dreams are wonderful. They remind us of what we love and what we hope for. And sometimes, dreams can come true. But for now, let's have some breakfast. I made your favorite, pancakes and honey." + +Lily and Ben cheer up. They love pancakes and honey. They thank mom and sit at the table. They eat their breakfast and talk about their dream. They still want to fly in a balloon, but they are happy to have each other and mom. And they know that they can always dream again. +Lily was a shy girl who liked to collect pretty things. She had a box full of shells, stones, feathers and buttons that she found in the park, on the beach or at home. She was very proud of her collection and liked to look at it every day. + +One day, she saw a new boy in her class. His name was Will and he had curly hair and big eyes. He looked friendly, but Lily was too shy to talk to him. She wondered what he liked to collect. + +At recess, Lily went to the sandbox with her box of pretty things. She wanted to make a castle with them. She saw Will sitting on a bench, holding a book. He looked bored and lonely. Lily felt curious, but she was too shy to go to him. + +Then, Will saw Lily and her box. He smiled and walked to her. He said, "Hi, I'm Will. What do you have in your box?" + +Lily felt nervous, but she also felt happy. She said, "Hi, I'm Lily. These are my pretty things. I collect them." + +Will looked at her box and said, "Wow, they are very pretty. Can I see them?" + +Lily nodded and opened her box. She showed him her shells, stones, feathers and buttons. Will touched them gently and said, "They are amazing. I like them a lot. Can I show you what I collect?" + +Lily said, "Yes, please." + +Will opened his book and said, "This is my book of stickers. I collect them. I have animals, cars, stars and more. Do you like stickers?" + +Lily said, "Yes, I do. They are very nice. I like the animals best." + +Will said, "Me too. Do you want to trade some stickers with me?" + +Lily said, "Yes, I do. That sounds fun." + +Will and Lily traded some stickers and put them in their books. They smiled and laughed. They found out that they had many things in common. They became friends and played together in the sandbox. They decided to share their collections and make more pretty things. Lily was not shy anymore. She was happy. +Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a ball and a kite. They take turns to kick the ball and fly the kite. + +One day, the wind is very strong. Ben holds the kite and runs. The kite goes up and up in the sky. Ben is happy. He feels successful. He shouts to Sara, "Look at my kite! It is so high!" + +Sara looks at the kite. She is happy for Ben. She says, "Wow, your kite is amazing! You are very good at flying it!" + +But then, something bad happens. The wind is too strong. It pulls the kite away from Ben. Ben tries to hold on, but he can't. He loses the kite. The kite flies away and disappears. + +Ben is sad. He cries. He says, "Oh no, my kite is gone! I lost it! I liked it so much!" + +Sara sees Ben crying. She feels sorry for him. She runs to him and hugs him. She says, "Don't cry, Ben. It's okay. You still have me. We are still friends. And we still have the ball. We can play with the ball." + +Ben stops crying. He looks at Sara. He smiles. He says, "Thank you, Sara. You are very nice. You are right. We are still friends. And we still have the ball. We can play with the ball." + +Sara and Ben hold hands. They go to the ball. They kick the ball and laugh. They forget about the kite. They are happy again. +Lily liked to zoom on her bike. She zoomed fast and loud. She zoomed up and down the hill. She zoomed with her friends. Zooming made her happy. + +One day, she saw a dove in the sky. The dove was white and clear. It flew high and low. It flew near and far. Lily wanted to zoom with the dove. She thought the dove was pretty. + +She zoomed after the dove. She zoomed faster and faster. She did not look where she was going. She did not see the car. The car was big and red. It honked loud and angry. Lily did not hear the car. She zoomed into the road. + +The car hit Lily. Lily fell off her bike. She hurt a lot. She cried loud and sad. The dove flew away. The car stopped. The driver got out. He was scared and sorry. He called for help. + +Lily did not zoom anymore. She went to the hospital. She had a broken leg and a broken arm. She had a bandage on her head. She had to stay in bed. She was not happy. She missed her bike. She missed the dove. She missed zooming. Zooming was fun. But zooming was also dangerous. Lily learned a hard lesson. +Tom and Lily liked to play with their toy cars. They had many cars of different colors and sizes. They made roads and bridges with their blocks and zoomed their cars around them. They had fun and shared their cars with each other. + +One day, a new boy came to their house. His name was Max. He brought his own toy car. It was big and shiny and had a loud horn. He wanted to play with Tom and Lily, but he did not want to share his car. He said it was the best car and he zoomed it everywhere. He knocked down Tom and Lily's roads and bridges. He made them angry and sad. + +"Stop it, Max!" Tom said. "You are being mean. You have to share and be nice." + +"No, I don't!" Max said. "This is my car and I can do what I want. You have silly cars. Mine is better." + +He zoomed his car faster and faster. He did not look where he was going. He hit a chair and his car flew out of his hand. It crashed on the ground and broke into pieces. Max cried and picked up his car. He wished he had been nicer to Tom and Lily. + +Tom and Lily felt sorry for Max. They went to him and gave him some of their cars. They said they would help him fix his car. They said they could all play together and have fun. + +Max smiled and said thank you. He said he was sorry for being mean. He said he learned his lesson. He said he would share and be nice. He said he liked Tom and Lily's cars. They were jolly and fun. + +They all hugged and played with their cars. They zoomed them around their roads and bridges. They made new friends and had a happy day. + +The moral of the story is: Sharing and being nice are better than being mean and selfish. +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They saw a big butterfly with many colors. It was flying from flower to flower. + +"Look, Ben, a butterfly!" Lily said. "It is so pretty!" + +"Yes, it is!" Ben said. "Can we catch it?" + +They ran after the butterfly, but it was too fast. It flew over the fence and into the woods. + +"Let's follow it!" Lily said. "Maybe it will show us something new!" + +They climbed over the fence and ran into the woods. They saw many trees and animals. They heard birds singing and squirrels chattering. + +They followed the butterfly until they came to a clearing. There, they saw a big crystal. It was shining in the sun. It had many colors, like the butterfly. + +"Wow, look, Lily, a crystal!" Ben said. "It is so shiny!" + +"Yes, it is!" Lily said. "Can we touch it?" + +They walked towards the crystal, but the butterfly flew in front of them. It made a soft sound, like a whisper. + +"Stop, children, don't touch the crystal!" the butterfly said. "It is not for you!" + +Lily and Ben were surprised. They did not know the butterfly could talk. + +"Why not?" Lily asked. "It is so beautiful!" + +"Because it is magic!" the butterfly said. "It belongs to the fairy queen. She lives here, in the woods. She is very kind, but she does not like strangers. If you touch the crystal, she will be angry. She might turn you into frogs, or stones, or something worse!" + +Lily and Ben were scared. They did not want to be frogs, or stones, or something worse. + +"Sorry, butterfly, we did not know!" Ben said. "We will not touch the crystal. We will go back to the garden." + +"Good, children, that is wise!" the butterfly said. "But before you go, I have a gift for you. You can each take one of my scales. They are warm and soft, and they will bring you good luck. But you must keep them secret, and never tell anyone about the crystal, or the fairy queen, or me. Do you promise?" + +Lily and Ben nodded. They promised. The butterfly flew close to them, and let them take one of its scales. They felt warm and soft in their hands. They thanked the butterfly, and said goodbye. + +They ran back to the garden, and climbed over the fence. They hid the scales in their pockets, and smiled at each other. They had a secret, and a new friend. They felt happy. +Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play in the yard. They have a big box of toys. They have cars, balls, dolls, and spears. Spears are long sticks with sharp points. They are for hunting animals. + +One day, Tom and Sam decide to play hunters. They take their spears and look for prey. They see a big bird in a tree. They want to catch it. They throw their spears at the bird, but they miss. The bird flies away. + +"Let's try again," Tom says. He picks up his spear and runs after the bird. Sam follows him. They run across the yard, past the fence, and into the woods. They see the bird land on a branch. They sneak up to it. + +"Shh, be quiet," Sam says. He aims his spear at the bird. He throws it hard. The spear hits the bird. The bird falls to the ground. + +"Yay, we got it!" Tom says. He runs to the bird. He wants to pick it up. But he steps on something. He feels a sharp pain in his foot. He looks down. He sees a snake. The snake bit him. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Tom cries. He drops his spear and holds his foot. He is scared. He wants his mom. + +"Tom, are you okay?" Sam asks. He sees the snake. He is scared too. He wants to help his brother. He picks up his spear and tries to scare the snake away. But the snake is stubborn. It does not move. It hisses at Sam. + +"Go away, snake!" Sam says. He pokes the snake with his spear. The snake does not like that. It bites Sam's spear. It holds on tight. + +"Help, help!" Sam shouts. He cannot pull his spear back. He is stuck. He wants his dad. + +Tom and Sam are in trouble. They need help. They scream for their parents. They hope they hear them. They hope they come soon. They hope they are not hurt. They are sorry they played hunters. They wish they stayed in the yard. +Ben and Lily were having dinner with Mom and Dad. They liked to eat pasta with sauce and cheese. Mom made the sauce with tomatoes and herbs. It smelled good and tasted yummy. + +"Can you pass me the sauce, please?" Ben asked Lily. He wanted more sauce on his pasta. + +"Here you go, Ben," Lily said. She gave him the sauce. She was a good sister. She liked to share. + +"Thank you, Lily," Ben said. He poured some sauce on his pasta. He took a big bite. "Mmm, this sauce is so good. Mom, you are a strong cook!" + +Mom smiled. She was happy that Ben liked her sauce. "Thank you, Ben. I'm glad you enjoy it. You are a strong eater!" + +Dad nodded. He was proud of Ben and Lily. They were polite and kind. They ate well and helped each other. "You are both strong kids," he said. "And we are a strong family!" + +Ben and Lily smiled. They loved Mom and Dad. They loved pasta and sauce. They were happy and full. They finished their dinner and asked for dessert. +Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play with paint. They have many colors of paint. They paint on paper, on walls, on rocks. They have fun. + +One day, Sara and Ben find a big bottle of paint. It is shiny and red. They think it is a new color of paint. They want to try it. They open the bottle and smell it. It smells bad. They do not care. They dip their brushes in the bottle and start to paint. + +"Look, Ben, I can paint a big heart!" Sara says. + +"Look, Sara, I can paint a big star!" Ben says. + +They paint and paint. They do not see that the paint is not paint. It is poison. It is very bad for them. It makes them sick. + +Soon, Sara and Ben feel weak. They feel dizzy. They feel pain. They drop their brushes. They cry. + +"Ben, I do not feel good. I want to drink some water." Sara says. + +"Me too, Sara. I want to drink some water. But I cannot move. I cannot get up." Ben says. + +They lie on the floor. They do not know what to do. They are scared. They call for help. But no one hears them. No one comes. They are alone. They are dying. The poison is killing them. The paint is not paint. It is a trap. It is the end. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play with blocks and toys. One day, they find a big box in the yard. They open the box and see many shiny things inside. + +"Wow, look at these!" Tom says. He picks up a necklace with beads and a bracelet with stars. "They are so pretty!" + +"Can I have one?" Mia asks. She likes the ring with a flower. "It is so small and cute!" + +"Sure, you can have it!" Tom says. He gives the ring to Mia. "We can share these things. They are ours now!" + +They put the shiny things on their fingers, wrists and necks. They feel happy and rich. They pretend they are kings and queens of a big land. They attach a crown made of paper to their heads. They sit on the box and wave to their toys. + +"Hello, our people!" Mia says. "We are your rulers. We are good and kind. We have many treasures!" + +"Yes, we do!" Tom says. "We have the best land in the world. We have fun and games. We have each other!" + +They smile and hug. They are happy and rich. They do not know that the shiny things are not real. They do not care. They have their own land and their own stories. They have their own magic. +Lia and Ben were playing in the backyard. They liked to look for bugs and rocks and flowers. They had a big jar to keep their finds. + +"Look, Lia, a lizard!" Ben shouted. He saw a small, gray lizard on the fence. It had a long tail and tiny feet. + +"Wow, Ben, it's so cute!" Lia said. She ran to the fence with her jar. She wanted to catch the lizard and look at it. + +But the lizard was fast. It saw Lia and Ben and ran away. It jumped from the fence to a tree. Lia and Ben followed it with their jar. + +"Hurry, hurry, Lia, we can get it!" Ben said. He climbed the tree and reached for the lizard. + +But the lizard was faster. It ran from the tree to the roof. Lia and Ben could not follow it. They looked at the lizard on the roof. It looked at them and flicked its tongue. + +"Bye, bye, lizard, you are too smart for us!" Lia said. She waved her jar. Ben waved his hand. + +The lizard waved its tail and ran away. Lia and Ben laughed and went back to their backyard. They still had many bugs and rocks and flowers to play with. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run and slide and swing. They saw a big gate that led to a field. The gate was closed and had a sign that said "Keep Out". + +"Let's go see what's behind the gate," Tom said. "Maybe there are cows or horses or flowers." + +"But the sign says no," Lily said. "We should listen to the sign." + +Tom did not listen to Lily. He was curious and brave. He tried to open the gate, but it was too heavy. He tried to climb over the gate, but it was too high. He had an idea. + +"Lily, help me lift the gate," he said. "If we lift it a little bit, we can crawl under it." + +Lily did not want to help Tom, but she did not want to be alone. She went to the gate and tried to help Tom lift it. They pulled and pushed and lifted, but the gate did not move. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud noise. It was a dog. A big, angry dog. The dog was behind the gate. The dog saw Tom and Lily and started to bark and growl. The dog wanted to chase them and bite them. + +Tom and Lily were scared. They let go of the gate and ran away. But the gate was not closed properly. The dog pushed the gate open and followed them. The dog was faster than them. + +Tom and Lily screamed and cried. They looked for help, but no one was there. The park was empty. They had broken the rule and now they were in trouble. + +The dog caught up with them and jumped on them. It knocked them down and bit their legs and arms. It hurt a lot. Tom and Lily wished they had listened to the sign and to Lily. + +They were in pain and in danger. They were also embarrassed. They had been naughty and foolish. They had learned a hard lesson. They hoped someone would come and save them, but no one did. The end. +Lila and Ben were playing in the backyard. They liked to run and jump and chase each other. They also liked to twist and spin and make themselves dizzy. + +"Look, I'm a hurricane!" Ben shouted, as he twisted faster and faster. He held his arms out and pretended to blow things away. + +Lila laughed and joined him. "Me too, me too!" she said, as she twisted in the opposite direction. They spun around and around, until they fell on the grass. + +They lay there, giggling and panting. They looked at the sky and saw some clouds. They were white and fluffy and harmless. + +"Those are not hurricanes," Lila said. "Those are sheep." + +Ben nodded. "Yeah, sheep. Baa, baa." + +They made sheep noises and laughed some more. They were happy and silly and did not care about anything else. They did not know that far away, a real hurricane was coming. A big and scary and dangerous one. But for now, they were safe and sound in their backyard. They had each other and their imagination. And they had fun. +Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play in the garden. They saw many flowers, bugs, and herbs. Lily liked to smell the herbs and make bouquets. Ben liked to pick the herbs and pretend they were magic. + +One day, they found a beautiful herb with purple flowers and a sweet smell. Lily wanted to take it home and put it in a vase. Ben wanted to keep it and make a potion. They both pulled on the herb and tried to win it. + +"Let go, it's mine!" Ben shouted. + +"No, it's mine!" Lily cried. + +They pulled so hard that the herb broke in half. They both fell down and hurt themselves. They looked at the herb and saw that it was wilted and sad. They felt sorry for the herb and for each other. + +"I'm sorry, Ben. I was selfish. You can have the herb," Lily said. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. I was greedy. You can have the herb," Ben said. + +They hugged and said they were sorry. They decided to share the herb and plant it in the garden. They hoped it would grow back and be happy. They learned that sharing is better than fighting and that friends are more important than things. +Lily likes to read books. She has many books in her room. She reads them every day. She likes to learn new things from the books. + +One day, Lily feels sick. She coughs a lot. She has a fever. Her mom takes her to the doctor. The doctor listens to her chest with a stethoscope. He says, "Lily, you have a problem with your lung. Your lung is the part of your body that helps you breathe. Your lung is not working well. You need to take some medicine and rest." + +Lily is scared. She does not like to take medicine. She does not like to rest. She wants to read her books. She says, "Mom, can I read my books? I love my books. They make me happy." + +Her mom smiles. She says, "Yes, Lily, you can read your books. But you have to take your medicine too. And you have to drink a lot of water. And you have to sleep a lot. Your books will help you feel better. But your medicine and your rest will help your lung heal. Your lung is very important. You need your lung to breathe and to live." + +Lily nods. She says, "OK, Mom, I will do what you say. I will take my medicine and drink water and sleep. But can you read me a story before I sleep? Reading is difficult when I cough." + +Her mom hugs her. She says, "Of course, Lily, I will read you a story. I love you, Lily. You are a brave and smart girl. You will get better soon." +Timmy liked to watch cartoons on TV. He liked the funny animals and the silly jokes. He had a favorite cartoon with a dog and a cat who were friends. He always laughed when they did funny things. + +One day, Timmy's mom said they had to go to the store. She said they would be back soon. Timmy did not want to go. He wanted to watch his cartoon. He asked his mom if he could stay home. + +"Sorry, Timmy, you can't stay home alone. You are too little. You have to come with me," his mom said. + +"But I want to watch my cartoon. It is almost on. Please, mom, please," Timmy said. + +His mom shook her head. "No, Timmy, we have to go now. Maybe you can watch it later. Come on, let's go." + +Timmy was sad and angry. He did not want to miss his cartoon. He did not want to go to the store. He did not want to listen to his mom. He crossed his arms and pouted. + +His mom sighed. She took his hand and led him to the car. She buckled him in his seat. She started the car and drove to the store. + +Timmy was still pouting. He did not look at his mom. He did not look out the window. He did not say anything. He was very quiet. + +His mom was worried. She did not like to see Timmy so unhappy. She tried to cheer him up. She pointed at the trees and the birds and the cars. She asked him questions. She told him jokes. She sang songs. She did everything she could to make him smile. + +But Timmy did not smile. He did not answer. He did not laugh. He did not sing. He did not care. He only wanted to watch his cartoon. + +They arrived at the store. His mom parked the car and got out. She opened the door and reached for Timmy. + +"Come on, Timmy, let's go inside. It won't take long. Maybe we can find something fun for you," she said. + +Timmy looked at his mom. He did not want to go inside. He did not want to find anything fun. He did not want anything. He shrugged. + +He shrugged and said, "I don't know." +Mia and Leo were playing in the garden. They liked to dig and find things in the dirt. One day, they found a shiny metal thing. It had a picture of a man and some letters on it. + +"What is this?" Mia asked. + +"I don't know. Maybe it is a coin," Leo said. + +They showed it to their mom. She looked at it and smiled. + +"This is a very old and special coin. It is called a mint. It was made a long time ago, when people used different money. It is worth a lot of money now. You are very lucky to find it," she said. + +"Wow! Can we keep it?" Mia asked. + +"Of course you can. But you have to be careful with it. It is very old and fragile. You should clean it gently and put it in a safe place. That way, you can restore it and make it look nice," she said. + +Mia and Leo nodded. They took a soft cloth and some water and cleaned the mint. They saw the picture and the letters more clearly. They wondered who the man was and what he did. They put the mint in a small box and hid it under their bed. + +They felt very happy and proud. They had found a treasure in their garden. They thought they were very wealthy. They decided to share their secret with their best friend, Sam. They invited him over and showed him the mint. He was amazed and happy for them. + +They all agreed to keep the mint safe and to learn more about it. They also agreed to keep digging and looking for more things in the garden. They never knew what they might find. They had a lot of fun and adventure. +Anna likes to draw with her crayons. She has many colors and she makes pictures of her family, her dog, and her toys. She likes to make her crayons sharp, so she can draw better. She has a sharpener that makes her crayons pointy. + +One day, she is drawing a picture of a flower. She wants to use the yellow crayon, but it is not sharp. She looks for her sharpener, but she cannot find it. She asks her mom, who is in the kitchen. + +"Mom, where is my sharpener?" she says. + +Her mom has a smooth voice. She is nice and calm. She says, "I don't know, Anna. Maybe you left it in your room. Why don't you go and look for it?" + +Anna nods and goes to her room. She looks under her bed, in her closet, and in her toy box. She cannot find her sharpener. She feels sad and angry. She wants to finish her picture. + +She goes back to the kitchen and sees her brother, Tom. He is holding her sharpener. He is using it to sharpen his pencil. He is doing his homework. + +"Tom, give me my sharpener!" she says. + +Tom has a sharp voice. He is mean and loud. He says, "No, it's mine now. I need it for my homework. Go away, Anna. You are a baby." + +Anna feels hurt and mad. She tries to grab her sharpener, but Tom pushes her away. She falls on the floor and cries. + +Her mom hears her cry and comes to see what is wrong. She sees Tom with the sharpener and Anna on the floor. She has a stern voice. She is not happy. She says, "Tom, that is not nice. That is Anna's sharpener. You have to share. Give it back to her right now." + +Tom pouts and gives the sharpener to Anna. He says, "Sorry, Anna." + +Anna stops crying and takes the sharpener. She says, "Thank you, Mom. Thank you, Tom." + +She goes back to her drawing and makes her yellow crayon sharp. She finishes her picture of the flower. She shows it to her mom and Tom.

I love you, Tom." +Ben likes to read books. He has many books in his room. He likes to look at the pictures and say the words. Sometimes he asks his mom or dad to read to him. + +One day, Ben finds a new book on the shelf. It has a big red car on the cover. Ben loves cars. He wants to read the book. He takes the book and sits on the floor. + +He opens the book and sees many words. He does not know the words. He tries to say them, but they are hard. He feels frustrated. He wants to read the book. + +He raises the book and calls his mom. "Mom, mom, can you read this book to me?" he says. + +Mom comes to his room. She sees the book in his hand. She smiles. "Ben, this book is not for you. This book is for older kids. You are too little to read this book. You have many other books that you can read. Why don't you choose another one?" + +Ben feels sad. He likes the big red car. He wants to read the book. He shakes his head. "No, no, I want this book. I want to read this book. Please, mom, please." + +Mom sighs. She knows Ben is stubborn. She does not want to make him cry. She sits next to him and hugs him. "Okay, Ben, okay. I will read this book to you. But you have to listen carefully and try to learn the words. Maybe one day, when you are bigger, you can read this book by yourself. Do you understand?" + +Ben nods. He feels happy. He gives mom a kiss. He holds the book and looks at the pictures. Mom reads the book to him. He listens carefully and tries to learn the words. He likes the book. He likes mom. He thinks reading is fun. +Tim and Mia were playing in the park. They saw a big tent with a sign that said "Circus". They wanted to see the circus, so they ran to the tent. They paid two coins and went inside. + +They saw many things in the circus. They saw clowns, animals, acrobats, and magicians. They liked the circus very much. They clapped and laughed and had fun. + +Then they heard a loud sound. It was a trumpet. They looked and saw a man with a red coat and a hat. He was holding a trumpet and a whip. He said, "Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, welcome to the grand finale of the circus! The most amazing, the most dangerous, the most disgusting act you have ever seen! The man-eating lion!" + +Tim and Mia were scared. They did not want to see a man-eating lion. They wanted to go home. They tried to find the exit, but they could not. There were too many people and too much noise. + +They saw the man open a big cage. A big lion came out. The lion looked angry and hungry. The man said, "Don't worry, folks, this lion is well trained. He will only eat me if I make a mistake. Watch me play the trumpet and make him dance!" + +The man played the trumpet. The lion did not dance. The lion roared and jumped on the man. The man screamed. The lion bit the man. The man stopped screaming. The lion ate the man. + +Tim and Mia screamed too. They were very scared and very sad. They did not like the circus anymore. They wished they never went to the circus. They wished they stayed in the park. They wished they could go home. But they could not. The lion was still hungry. The lion looked at them. The lion ran to them. The end. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play outside in the snow. They make a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They give him a carrot nose and two rocks for eyes. They are happy. + +But then the wind blows hard. It is very cold. Tom and Mia shiver. They hug each other. They want to go home. They look for their house. But they can't see it. The snow is too white. Everything is white. They are scared. + +They see a bright light. It is a lantern. It is on a stick. It is a point. Someone is holding it. It is their mom. She is looking for them. She sees them. She calls their names. She runs to them. She hugs them. She is warm. + +She takes them home. She gives them hot cocoa and cookies. She tells them they are brave. She tells them they are silly. She tells them to stay close to the house. She tells them she loves them. They love her too. They are happy. +Lily and Sam are twins. They like to go out with Mom and Dad. Today, they are going to a restaurant. The restaurant is popular. Many people want to eat there. + +They wait in a line. Lily is bored. She sees a big fish tank. She runs to look at the fish. Sam follows her. They forget to listen to Mom and Dad. + +"Look, Sam, a yellow fish!" Lily says. + +"And a blue one!" Sam says. + +They point and laugh at the fish. They do not hear Mom and Dad calling them. + +Mom and Dad are worried. They look for Lily and Sam. They do not see them. They ask a waiter. The waiter says he saw two kids by the fish tank. Mom and Dad hurry to the fish tank. + +They find Lily and Sam. They are happy and relieved. They hug them. + +"Lily, Sam, you scared us!" Mom says. "You have to listen to us. You can't run away like that." + +"Sorry, Mom," Lily says. + +"Sorry, Dad," Sam says. + +They say sorry to the waiter too. The waiter smiles. He says they can have a table now. They go to the table.

They asked Mom if they could watch a movie on the TV. + +Mom said, "Yes, you can watch a movie, but first you have to do something important. You have to tie your shoes. You are big kids now and you need to learn how to tie your shoes by yourself." + +Ben and Lily looked at their shoes. They had laces that were long and loose. They did not know how to tie them. They felt sad and scared. They did not want to miss the movie. + +Mom saw their faces and smiled. She said, "Don't worry, I will help you. It is easy and fun to tie your shoes. You just have to follow some steps. First, you make a big X with the laces. Then, you pull one lace under the other and pull tight. Next, you make a loop with one lace and hold it. Then, you make another loop with the other lace and wrap it around the first loop. Finally, you pull both loops and make a knot. See? You have a bow on your shoe. Now you try it." + +Ben and Lily listened to Mom and tried to tie their shoes. They made the X, pulled the laces, made the loops, wrapped them and pulled them. They looked at their shoes and saw the bows. They felt happy and proud. They had tied their shoes by themselves. + +Mom clapped and hugged them. She said, "You did it! You are so smart and brave. I am very proud of you. Now you can watch the movie. But remember, always tie your shoes before you go out. It is important for your safety and comfort." + +Ben and Lily nodded and thanked Mom. They ran to the couch and turned on the TV. They found a movie with animals and songs. They watched the movie and sang along. They had a lot of fun. They were glad they had learned how to tie their shoes. +Tom and Sam are kids. They like to play in the park. They see a big slide. They want to go on the slide. + +"Let's go on the slide!" Tom says. + +"OK!" Sam says. + +They run to the slide. But there is a problem. There is a lazy dog on the slide. The dog is sleeping. He does not want to move. + +"Hey, dog, get off the slide!" Tom says. + +The dog opens one eye. He looks at Tom. He does not care. He closes his eye. + +"Please, dog, we want to play!" Sam says. + +The dog opens his other eye. He looks at Sam.

Tom says. + +"Jump?" Sam says. + +"Yes, jump! Jump up and down. Make a lot of noise. Maybe the dog will get scared and run away!" Tom says. + +"OK, let's try!" Sam says. + +They start to jump. They jump high and low. They jump fast and slow. They jump loud and quiet. They make a lot of noise. + +The dog hears the noise. He wakes up. He sees Tom and Sam jumping. He does not like it. He gets scared. He runs away. + +"Yay, we did it!" Tom says. + +"Yay, we can play!" Sam says. + +They run to the slide. They take turns to go on the slide. They have fun. They are happy. The end. +Ben and Mia liked to play in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. One day, they saw a big pile of leaves. They wanted to jump in it. + +"Look, Ben, leaves!" Mia said. "Let's go!" + +They ran to the pile and jumped in. They laughed and threw leaves at each other. They had fun. + +But then, Ben felt something hard under the leaves. He pulled it out. It was a bone. A big bone. + +"Wow, what is this?" Ben asked. "Is it a stick?" + +Mia looked at it. She shook her head. "No, Ben, it's not a stick. It's a bone. A skeleton bone." + +"A skeleton bone?" Ben said. "What is a skeleton?" + +Mia said, "A skeleton is what you have inside you. It holds you up. It's made of bones. Like this one." + +Ben looked at the bone. He felt scared. He dropped it. + +"Where did it come from?" he asked. "Who did it belong to?" + +Mia said, "I don't know. Maybe it was a big animal. Maybe it was a dinosaur. Maybe it was here a long time ago." + +Ben said, "Maybe it was a tough dinosaur. Maybe it could run fast and roar loud. Maybe it could eat other animals." + +Mia said, "Maybe. But it's not here now. It's gone. It's just a bone." + +Ben said, "Yeah. It's just a bone. It can't hurt us." + +They looked at the bone. They felt curious. They picked it up again. + +They decided to take it home. They wanted to show it to their mom and dad. They wanted to learn more about it. + +They left the pile of leaves. They held the bone together. They walked to their home. + +They did not see the other bones in the pile. They did not see the skull. They did not see the teeth. They did not hear the growl. +Tom and Lily were playing with their colorful blocks. They liked to build towers and houses and cars with them. Sometimes they shared their blocks, and sometimes they wanted their own. + +One day, Tom saw a big red block that Lily had. He wanted it for his tower. He tried to take it from Lily, but she said, "No, Tom, this is mine. You have many blocks too." + +Tom did not listen. He grabbed the red block and squeezed it hard. Lily was angry and sad. She pulled the block back and squeezed it too. They both squeezed the block so hard that it broke in two pieces. The pieces fell on the floor with a loud noise. + +Tom and Lily looked at the broken block. They felt sorry for what they did. They said to each other, "I'm sorry, I should not have squeezed the block. I should have asked you nicely." + +They hugged and said, "It's okay, we can still play with the other blocks. We can share and be friends." + +They picked up the pieces of the block and put them in a box. Then they took some other colorful blocks and started to build again. They had fun and played nicely. +Lily and Max were twins who liked to play with their toys. One day, they got a new toy stand from their grandma. It had many shelves and hooks to put their dolls, cars, books and puzzles. Lily and Max were very happy and thanked their grandma. + +They decided to spend the afternoon arranging their toys on the stand. Lily wanted to put her dolls on the top shelf, because they were her favorite. Max wanted to put his cars on the top shelf, because they were his favorite. They both reached for the same spot and started to pull and push. + +"Stop it, Max! This is my shelf!" Lily said. + +"No, it's mine! I saw it first!" Max said. + +They both got frustrated and angry. They did not want to share or compromise. They started to shout and cry. + +Their mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw the toy stand and the twins fighting over it. She was not happy. + +"Lily and Max, what are you doing? Why are you fighting over the toy stand? Grandma gave it to you to share and enjoy, not to argue and hurt each other. You should be grateful and kind, not selfish and rude." She said. + +Lily and Max felt ashamed and sorry. They realized they were being mean to each other and to their grandma. They hugged and said sorry to each other and to their mom. + +"Mom, we're sorry. We love each other and we love our toy stand. Can we try again and make it nice?" Lily said. + +"Yes, we're sorry. We can take turns and help each other. Can we show you how we can do it?" Max said. + +Their mom smiled and nodded. She hugged them and said she was proud of them. She helped them to arrange their toys on the stand in a way that they both liked. They thanked their mom and their grandma. They played happily with their toys and with each other. They learned to share and cooperate. They had a fun and peaceful afternoon. +Lily and Sam were twins who liked to play in the garden. They had a big tree with many flowers that changed colors every day. Lily liked the pink flowers and Sam liked the yellow ones. They always looked for new flowers to see what color they would be. + +One morning, they saw a blue flower on the tree. They had never seen a blue flower before. They ran to the tree and looked at it closely. + +"Wow, it is so pretty!" Lily said. "It looks like the sky." + +"It does!" Sam agreed. "But how did it grow? All the other flowers are pink or yellow." + +They heard a voice from the window. It was their mom, who was making breakfast. + +"Good morning, kids!" she said. "Do you want some cereal?" + +"Yes, please!" Lily and Sam said. They ran to the house, but they did not forget the blue flower. + +"Mom, guess what we found in the garden?" Lily asked. + +"A blue flower!" Sam said. + +"A blue flower?" Mom said. "That's amazing! How did that happen?" + +Lily and Sam shrugged. They did not know. They ate their cereal and told Mom about the blue flower. Mom smiled and said she was proud of them for noticing the beauty of nature. + +"Maybe the blue flower is a special gift from the tree," she said. "Maybe it wanted to surprise you and make you happy." + +Lily and Sam liked that idea. They finished their cereal and ran back to the garden. They thanked the tree for the blue flower and gave it a hug. They decided to name the flower Bluey and take care of it every day. They hoped it would bloom again and again. +Lily liked to dress up in her mom's clothes. She would put on her mom's hats, shoes, and dresses and pretend to be a grown-up. She thought she looked very pretty and organized. + +One day, Lily heard her mom say that a big storm was coming. A storm called a hurricane. Lily did not know what a hurricane was, but she thought it sounded scary. She asked her mom what they should do. + +Her mom said, "We need to pack some things and go to a safe place. A hurricane can be very dangerous. It can break windows, knock down trees, and flood houses. We don't want to stay here." + +Lily nodded and ran to her room. She wanted to help her mom pack. But when she got to her room, she saw all her mom's clothes on the floor. She had forgotten to put them back in the closet. She felt bad. She knew her mom would be angry. She wanted to fix it, but she did not have time. She heard her mom call her name. + +"Lily, hurry up! We need to go now! The hurricane is getting closer!" + +Lily grabbed her favorite teddy bear and ran to her mom. She did not say anything about the clothes. She hoped her mom would not notice. + +They got in the car and drove away. Lily looked out the window and saw the dark clouds and the strong wind. She felt scared. She hugged her teddy bear and wished the hurricane would go away. + +After a long time, they arrived at a hotel. They checked in and went to their room. Lily was tired and hungry. She wanted to rest and eat. Her mom said, "Let's unpack our bags and then we can order some pizza. How does that sound?" + +Lily smiled and said, "That sounds good, mom. I'm sorry I made a mess in your room. I was playing with your clothes and I forgot to put them back." + +Her mom looked surprised and then hugged her. She said, "It's okay, Lily. I'm not angry. I'm glad you told me the truth. I know you like to dress up, but you have to be careful with other people's things. And you have to be organized. That way, you can be ready for anything. Even a hurricane." + +Lily nodded and said, "I understand, mom. I will be more organized next time. And I will help you clean up when we go back home." + +Her mom smiled and said, "That's very good, Lily. I'm proud of you. You are a brave and honest girl. And you are still very pretty, even without my clothes." + +They unpacked their bags and ordered some pizza. They ate and watched a movie. They felt safe and happy. They did not worry about the hurricane. They knew they had each other. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play together. But today they are miserable. It is raining outside and they cannot go to the park. They have to stay inside and wear their raincoats and boots. + +"Mom, can we go out now?" Anna asks. She looks at the window and sees the raindrops. + +"No, sweetie, it is still raining. Maybe in a few minutes it will stop. Why don't you play with your toys?" Mom says. She gives them a hug and a kiss. + +Anna and Ben sigh. They do not want to play with their toys. They want to splash in the puddles and slide on the slide. They sit on the floor and look at their raincoats and boots. They are bored. + +"I have an idea!" Ben says. He jumps up and grabs his raincoat. "Let's pretend we are going to the park. We can wear our raincoats and boots and make noises like the animals and the swings." + +Anna smiles. She thinks that is a good idea. She puts on her raincoat and boots and follows Ben. They run around the room and make noises like the birds and the dogs and the wind. They pretend they are sliding on the slide and swinging on the swings. They laugh and have fun. + +Mom hears them and smiles. She is happy they are not miserable anymore. She looks at the window and sees the rain has stopped. She goes to the room and says, "Guess what, kids? The rain is gone. Do you want to go to the park now?" + +Anna and Ben cheer. They take off their raincoats and boots and put on their hats and shoes. They grab Mom's hand and run to the door. They are excited to go to the park. They are not bored anymore. They are happy. +Sara and Ben wanted to play outside in the snow. They put on their warm clothes and boots and ran to the door. But their mom stopped them. + +"Wait, wait, wait!" she said. "You need to wear your hats and gloves too. It is very icy outside. You don't want to get cold or sick." + +"But mom, we want to play now!" Sara and Ben said. "We don't like hats and gloves. They are itchy and tight." + +"I know, I know," mom said. "But they will prevent you from getting hurt by the ice. And they will keep you cozy and happy. Trust me, you will have more fun with them on." + +Sara and Ben sighed. They did not want to argue with mom. They knew she loved them and wanted them to be safe. They put on their hats and gloves and gave mom a hug and a kiss. + +"Thank you, mom," they said. "You are the best." + +"You're welcome, my sweeties," mom said. "Now go and have fun. But be careful and don't stay out too long." + +Sara and Ben opened the door and ran outside. They saw the snow sparkling in the sun. They made snowballs and snowmen and snow angels. They slid and skated on the ice. They laughed and shouted and had a great time. They were glad they listened to mom and wore their hats and gloves. They did not feel cold or sick. They felt warm and happy. They loved playing in the icy snow. +Lila and Ben like to play with trains. They have many trains of different colors and sizes. They also have a big box of tracks. They can make long lines of tracks on the floor and connect them. Then they can put their trains on the tracks and make them go. + +One day, they decided to make a very long line of tracks that went from the living room to the kitchen. They used all the tracks they had and made curves and bridges and tunnels. They were very proud of their line. They set their trains on the line and pushed them gently. + +"Choo choo!" said Lila, making a train sound. "Look, Ben, our trains are going to the kitchen. Maybe they are hungry." + +"Choo choo!" said Ben, making a train sound too. "Yes, maybe they want some cookies or milk. Let's follow them and see." + +They walked behind their trains, watching them go along the line. They were having fun. But they did not see that their mom was coming from the kitchen with a tray of snacks. She did not see the line of tracks on the floor either. She was about to step on them and make them break. + +"Mom, stop!" shouted Lila, seeing the danger. "There is a line of tracks on the floor. Don't step on them!" + +"Mom, stop!" shouted Ben, seeing the danger too. "Our trains are on the line. Don't hurt them!" + +Mom heard their shouts and stopped. She looked down and saw the line of tracks and the trains. She smiled and said, "Wow, you made a very long line of tracks. That's very creative. But it's not very safe. Someone could trip on them and fall. How about we move them to a safer place?" + +Lila and Ben nodded. They did not want their mom or anyone else to get hurt. They also did not want their line of tracks and their trains to get broken. They helped their mom pick up the tracks and the trains and put them in the box. Then they moved the box to a corner of the living room, where they could play with them again later. + +Mom gave them each a cookie and a glass of milk. She said, "You are very good children. You listened to me and helped me. Thank you. Now you can enjoy your snacks and play with your trains in a safe place." + +Lila and Ben smiled and hugged their mom. They said, "You are very good mom. You made us snacks and did not get mad. Thank you. We love you." + +They ate their snacks and played with their trains in the corner. They were happy and safe. +Lila and Ben are playing in the park. They like to run and jump and slide. They have a kite that they want to fly. But there is no wind today. The kite does not go up in the sky. + +"Maybe we can bring the wind," Lila says. "How?" Ben asks. "We can blow on the kite," Lila says. "Or we can run very fast with it." They try both ways, but it is difficult. The kite only falls to the ground. + +They see a man with a big fan. He is making the leaves move. "Maybe he can help us," Ben says. "Let's ask him." They go to the man and show him their kite. "Can you bring the wind for our kite?" Lila asks. "Please?" + +The man smiles. He likes to see children happy. He says, "Sure, I can try. But you have to hold the kite very tight. And you have to let go when I say so." He turns on the fan and points it at the kite. The kite starts to flutter. + +"Ready?" the man says. "Yes!" Lila and Ben say. "One, two, three, go!" the man says. Lila and Ben let go of the kite. The fan blows the kite up in the sky. Lila and Ben clap and cheer. They see their kite fly high and bright. They thank the man for bringing the wind. They have fun with their kite. +Lily likes to hop. She hops on the grass, on the stones, on the bed. She hops with her friends, with her toys, with her dog. She hops when she is happy, when she is bored, when she is silly. + +One day, Lily finds a book. It has many words and pictures. She opens the book and sees a poem. A poem is a kind of word game. It makes sounds and shapes with words. Lily likes word games. She tries to read the poem. + +The poem is modern. It does not rhyme. It does not have a pattern. It has words that Lily does not know. It has words that are not words. It has words that are upside down, sideways, and backwards. Lily is confused. She does not like the poem. She does not think it is a word game. She thinks it is a mess. + +Lily closes the book. She does not want to read the poem. She wants to hop. She hops away from the book. She hops to her mom. She hops to her dad. She hops to her dog. She hops with joy. She makes her own poem with her hops. Her poem is simple. Her poem is fun. Her poem is hoppy. Lily likes her poem. She likes to hop. +Lila and Ben are playing in the living room. They see a switch on the wall. They wonder what it does. + +"Let's ask Mommy," Lila says. "Maybe she knows." + +They run to the kitchen, where Mommy is making cookies. They tug on her apron. + +"Mommy, Mommy, what does the switch do?" they ask. + +Mommy looks at them and smiles. "That switch turns on the fireplace. But you must never touch it, okay? It is very hot and dangerous. Only grown-ups can use it." + +Lila and Ben nod. They say they understand. They go back to the living room. But they are still curious. + +"Maybe we can just look at it," Ben says. "It won't hurt if we don't touch it." + +Lila agrees. They sneak up to the switch. They see a furry rug in front of the fireplace. It looks soft and cozy. + +"Let's sit on the rug," Lila says. "It will be fun." + +They sit on the rug. They feel warm and happy. They forget about the switch. + +But then, Ben sees a shiny button next to the switch. He wonders what it does. + +"Look, Lila, a button!" he says. "Maybe it makes a sound or a light." + +He reaches out his hand. He presses the button. + +Suddenly, the fireplace roars to life. Flames shoot out of the grate. The rug catches fire. Lila and Ben scream. They are trapped by the fire. + +Mommy hears their screams. She runs to the living room. She sees the fire. She is terrified. + +She grabs a blanket. She throws it over the fire. She tries to save Lila and Ben. + +But it is too late. The fire is too big and fast. Lila and Ben are burned. They stop screaming. They stop moving. + +Mommy cries. She hugs their bodies. She wishes she had watched them better. She wishes they had listened to her. She wishes they had never seen the switch. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play outside in spring. Spring is when the sun is warm and the flowers are pretty. Anna and Ben have a big garden with a swing and a slide. + +One day, Anna and Ben are playing on the swing. Anna wants to swing higher and higher. She says, "Look at me, Ben! I can touch the sky!" Ben is not happy. He wants to swing too. He says, "Stop, Anna! It is my turn!" But Anna does not stop. She swings faster and faster. She is naughty. + +Ben is angry. He thinks of a way to tease Anna. He sees a bee on a flower. He says, "Anna, Anna! There is a bee on your hair!" Anna is scared. She hates bees. She thinks they will sting her. She screams and jumps off the swing. She runs to the house. + +Ben laughs. He thinks he is clever. He says, "Ha ha, Anna! There is no bee! I tricked you!" He gets on the swing. He swings higher and higher. He says, "Now I can touch the sky!" + +But Anna is not silly. She sees that Ben is teasing her. She is not happy. She thinks of a way to tease Ben. She sees a hose on the grass. She says, "Ben, Ben! There is a snake on the swing!" Ben is scared. He hates snakes. He thinks they will bite him. He screams and jumps off the swing. He runs to the house. + +Anna laughs. She thinks she is clever. She says, "Ha ha, Ben! There is no snake! I tricked you!" She gets on the swing. She swings higher and higher. She says, "Now I can touch the sky!" + +But then, Mom comes out of the house. She sees Anna and Ben. She is not happy. She says, "Anna, Ben! Why are you teasing each other? That is not nice! You should share the swing and be kind!" Anna and Ben feel sorry. They say, "Sorry, Mom. Sorry, Anna. Sorry, Ben." They hug each other. They get on the swing together. They swing higher and higher. They say, "We can touch the sky!" Mom smiles. She says, "That is better. I love you, Anna. I love you, Ben." Anna and Ben say, "We love you, Mom." They are happy. +Anna likes to write with a feather. She finds a big white feather in the park. She takes it home and shows it to her mom. Mom says it is a nice feather, but she has to wash it first. Anna does not want to wait. She runs to her room and writes on her wall with the feather. + +She writes her name, and a heart, and a sun. She thinks it is funny. She laughs and writes more. She writes a cat, and a star, and a flower. She is happy. She does not see the feather is dirty. It makes brown marks on the wall. It is not funny. + +Mom comes to see what Anna is doing. She sees the wall and gets angry. She says Anna is naughty. She takes the feather and throws it away. She makes Anna clean the wall with a sponge. Anna cries. She does not like to clean. She is sorry. She wishes she waited for mom to wash the feather. She is sad. The end. +Ben and Lily were playing soccer in the park. They liked to kick the ball and try to score goals. Ben was very good at soccer. He could run fast and kick hard. Lily was not so good, but she tried her best. + +"Ben, pass me the ball!" Lily shouted. + +"OK, Lily, here you go!" Ben said. He kicked the ball to Lily. Lily tried to catch it, but she missed. The ball rolled away. + +"Oh no, the ball is going to the street!" Lily said. She ran after the ball. + +"Be careful, Lily!" Ben said. He ran after her. + +A car was coming. It was big and loud. Lily saw the car and stopped. She was scared. The car honked and stopped too. The driver got out of the car. He was angry. + +"Hey, kids, what are you doing? You almost hit my car with your ball!" the driver said. + +"Sorry, sir, we were playing soccer and the ball got away," Ben said. + +"Well, you should be more careful. This is a busy street. You could get hurt. Here, take your ball and go back to the park," the driver said. He gave the ball to Ben. + +"Thank you, sir. We are sorry. We will be more careful," Lily said. + +The driver got back in his car and drove away. Ben and Lily returned to the park. They hugged each other. + +"Are you OK, Lily?" Ben asked. + +"Yes, Ben, I'm OK. You are a good friend. You helped me," Lily said. + +"You are a good friend too, Lily. You are brave. You did not cry," Ben said. + +They smiled and played soccer again. They had fun. They scored many goals. They were impressive. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run and slide and swing. They saw a big tunnel made of wood. They wanted to go inside and see what was there. + +"Let's go in the tunnel!" Tom said. + +"OK, but be careful. It is dark and maybe there are bugs," Lily said. + +They held hands and walked into the tunnel. It was dark and cold and they could not see much. They heard a noise. It sounded like a growl. + +"What is that?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know. Maybe a dog or a bear," Tom said. + +They were scared and wanted to go out. But they did not know which way was out. They felt the walls of the tunnel, but they could not find the exit. + +"Help! Help!" they shouted. + +No one heard them. They started to cry. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. This was a bad idea. I should have listened to you," Tom said. + +"It's OK, Tom. I forgive you. We are friends. We will find a way out," Lily said. + +They hugged each other and tried to be brave. They heard another noise. It sounded like a voice. + +"Tom? Lily? Where are you?" It was their mom. She had heard their cries and came to look for them. + +"Mom! We are here! In the tunnel!" they shouted. + +"Stay there. I'm coming to get you," their mom said. + +She found the entrance of the tunnel and walked in. She saw their faces and smiled. + +"There you are. I'm so glad you are OK. Come on, let's go out," she said. + +She took their hands and led them out of the tunnel. They saw the sun and the grass and the flowers. They felt happy and safe. + +"Thank you, mom. You saved us," they said. + +"You're welcome, my loves. But next time, be more careful and don't go into strange places without me," she said. + +They nodded and hugged her. They learned their lesson and never went into the tunnel again. +One day, Sam and Lily went to the beach with their mom and dad. They liked to play in the sand and splash in the water. They saw many things in the water, like fish and crabs and shells. + +Sam was very curious. He wanted to see everything. He saw something pink and wiggly in the water. He thought it was a toy. He ran to get it. But it was not a toy. It was a jellyfish. It stung Sam's hand. Sam cried. It hurt a lot. + +Lily saw Sam crying. She ran to help him. She saw the jellyfish on the sand. She was angry. She picked up the jellyfish and threw it back in the water. She said, "Bad jellyfish! You hurt my brother!" + +Mom and dad heard Sam and Lily. They came to see what happened. They saw Sam's hand was red and swollen. They said, "Oh no, Sam, you touched a jellyfish. That was very dangerous. Jellyfish can sting you. You should never touch them." + +They took Sam to a nearby hut. There was a nice lady there. She said, "I can help you. I have some cream and ice for your hand. It will make it feel better." She put some cream and ice on Sam's hand. She said, "You are very brave. I will give you a sticker." She gave Sam a sticker with a star on it. + +Sam smiled. He said, "Thank you, nice lady. You are very kind. You served me well." He looked at his sticker. He said, "I like stars. They are shiny and pretty. But I don't like jellyfish. They are mean and ouchy." He hugged Lily. He said, "Thank you, Lily. You are a good sister. You saved me from the jellyfish." Lily hugged him back. She said, "You're welcome, Sam. I love you. But next time, be careful. Don't touch things you don't know." They both learned a lesson that day. They had fun at the beach, but they also respected the sea and its creatures. +Lila was very happy. She got an invitation to Ben's birthday party. Ben was her best friend. He lived next door. The invitation had a picture of a big cake and a balloon.

I'm glad you're excited. What do you want to give him as a present?" her mom asked. + +Lila thought for a moment. She knew Ben liked to spin. He had a toy that could spin very fast and make funny noises. Lila liked it too, but she did not have one. She was a little envious of Ben's toy. She decided to give him something else. + +"I want to give him a book. A book with animals and colors. He likes animals and colors," she said. + +"That's a very nice idea, Lila. I'm sure he will love it. Let's go to the store and find one," her mom said. + +They went to the store and Lila picked a book with a lion and a rainbow on the cover. She thought it was perfect.

"Wow, this is spicy!" she says. "It makes my mouth hot and tingly." + +"Can I try it too?" says Ben. He takes the bottle and puts some sauce on his tongue. "Ouch, this is spicy!" he says. "It makes my mouth hurt and burn." + +They both run to the sink and drink water. The water helps a little, but not much. They still feel spicy in their mouths. + +They hear a voice from the door. It is the teacher. He is angry. "What are you doing in the lab?" he says. "This is not a place to play. And this is not a sauce. This is a supply for an experiment. It is very spicy and dangerous.

You should try some too." + +Lily shook her head. She was scared for Tom. She ran to get Mom. She told her what Tom had done. + +Mom was very worried. She took Tom to the doctor.
