Max was so happy and barked loudly. Lily heard him and opened the door. "Max, you found your way back!" said Lily with a big smile. They hugged each other and were very happy to be together again. +Once upon a time, there was a grumpy worm who lived in the soil. He did not like to play with the other worms. They would say, "Come play with us!" But the grumpy worm would say, "No, I want to stay in the soil." + +One day, a happy bird came to the grumpy worm. The bird said, "Why are you always in the soil? Come out and play with me!" The grumpy worm did not want to play. He said, "I like the soil. I do not want to play." + +The happy bird did not give up. She said, "I can show you the sky and the trees. It is fun up here!" The grumpy worm thought about it. He decided to try something new. He left the soil and played with the happy bird. + +The grumpy worm and the happy bird had fun together. They played in the trees and looked at the sky. The grumpy worm was not grumpy anymore. He said, "Thank you for showing me how to have fun!" + +From that day on, the worm was not grumpy. He played with the other worms and the happy bird. He learned that it was good to try new things and have fun with friends. And sometimes, he still liked to be in the soil. +Once upon a time, there was a little cat named Kitty. Kitty was very thirsty, so she went to drink some water from her bowl. As she drank, she spilled some water on the floor. The floor was now wet. + +Kitty didn't see the wet floor and stepped in the water. Her paws got wet and she felt uncomfortable. She did not like having wet paws at all. So, Kitty decided to find a soft, dry place to sit and clean her paws. + +Kitty found a warm, sunny spot near the window. She sat down and licked her wet paws until they were dry and clean. Now, Kitty was comfortable again. She was happy that she could drink water and have clean, dry paws too. And from that day on, Kitty was more careful when she drank water from her bowl. +Once upon a time, there was a little bug named Ben. Ben was an adventurous bug who loved to crawl and explore new places. One day, Ben decided to crawl far away from his home to see what he could find. + +As Ben crawled, he found a big park with lots of people. In the park, there was a vendor who sold yummy treats like ice cream and cookies. Ben wanted to try some, so he crawled up to the vendor and asked for a cookie. + +The vendor saw Ben and smiled. He gave Ben a small cookie, just the right size for a little bug. Ben was so happy and said thank you. He crawled back home, excited to share his cookie with his family. Ben's adventurous day was a big success, and he couldn't wait to explore more. +Once upon a time, in a small pond, there lived a big fish named Fin. Fin was very strong and had big muscles. One day, he saw a small fish named Tiny. Tiny looked very sad and miserable. + +Fin swam to Tiny and asked, "Why are you so sad, Tiny?" Tiny replied, "I can't splash like you, Fin. I'm too small and weak." Fin smiled and said, "Don't worry, Tiny. I will teach you how to splash." + +Fin and Tiny started to practice splashing every day. But Tiny was still not able to splash like Fin. One day, a big storm came to the pond. The water became very rough and scary. Tiny was so afraid and cried for help. + +Fin tried to save Tiny, but he couldn't because the storm was too strong. Tiny was swept away by the storm and never came back. Fin felt very sad for not being able to save his friend. + +The moral of the story is that sometimes, no matter how strong we are, we cannot control everything in life. We should always be kind and help others when we can, but we must also understand that some things are beyond our control. +Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Tim. He had a toy train that made a loud noise. Tim loved to play with his train every day. He would push the train along the tracks and watch it go. + +One day, Tim found a switch on his train. He did not know what it did. He decided to ask his mom. His mom could tell him about the switch. Tim went to his mom and showed her the train. + +His mom looked at the switch and smiled. She told Tim that the switch could make the train quiet. Tim was happy to learn this. He turned the switch and the train was not loud anymore. Now, Tim could play with his train without making a loud noise. +Once upon a time, a boy named Tim had a toy sail. He loved to play with his sail in the water. One day, he went to the park with his mom and took his sail with him. + +At the park, Tim put his sail in the water and watched it go. He was so happy to see his sail be successful. It went far and fast. Tim's mom was proud of him. + +When it was time to go home, Tim's mom said, "Remember to take your sail." Tim picked up his sail and they went home. He knew he would never forget his fun day at the park with his sail. +Lily liked to ask questions. She asked questions all the time, about everything. She wanted to know why the sky was blue, why the grass was green, why the dog barked, and why the cat meowed. She asked her mom, her dad, her brother, and her teacher. Sometimes they answered her, sometimes they said "later", and sometimes they said "I don't know". + +One day, Lily learned a new word: triangle. She saw a triangle on her book, on her toy, and on her sandwich. She thought triangles were very interesting. She wanted to know more about them. She asked her mom, "What is a triangle?" + +Her mom answered, "A triangle is a shape with three sides and three corners. Like this." She drew a triangle on a paper. + +Lily asked, "Why does a triangle have three sides and three corners?" + +Her mom answered, "That's just how it is. It's a special shape." + +Lily asked, "Are there other shapes with three sides and three corners?" + +Her mom answered, "No, only triangles have three sides and three corners." + +Lily asked, "Why not?" + +Her mom answered, "Because that's what makes a triangle a triangle. If it had more or less sides or corners, it would be a different shape." + +Lily asked, "What are the different shapes?" + +Her mom answered, "There are many different shapes, like squares, circles, stars, and hearts. Do you want to see them?" + +Lily asked, "Yes, please. But can I ask you more questions about triangles?" + +Her mom smiled. She knew Lily was very persistent. She said, "Sure, you can ask me more questions. But maybe we can also read a story, or play a game, or sing a song. Would you like that?" + +Lily nodded. She said, "Yes, I would like that. But I still like triangles a lot. They are very interesting." + +Her mom hugged her. She said, "I like triangles too. And I like you very much. You are very curious and smart. And you always answer me when I call you. That's very good." + +Lily hugged her back. She said, "I love you, mom. And I love to answer you. And I love to ask questions. Can I ask you one more question?" + +Her mom laughed. She said, "Okay, one more question. What is it?" + +Lily asked, "Can we have triangle cookies for snack?" + +Her mom said, "Sure, why not? Triangle cookies sound delicious. Let's go make some together." + +Lily smiled. She said, "Yay! Thank you, mom. You are the best. And triangles are the best too." +Lily liked to play with her toys in her room. She had many toys, but her favorite was a pink dollhouse. She liked to pretend that the dolls were her family and friends. She put them in different rooms and made up stories for them. + +One day, Lily was playing with her dollhouse when she heard a loud noise. She looked and saw that her brother Tom had opened her cabinet and dropped some of her books on the floor. He was looking for his crayons. Lily was angry and ran to him. She shouted, "Tom, you are bad! You made a mess and you broke my cabinet!" + +Tom was scared and sorry. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I didn't mean to break your cabinet. I just wanted to find my crayons. Please don't be mad at me." + +Lily said, "You have to fix it. You have to repair my cabinet. It is mine and I don't want it to be broken." + +Tom said, "I don't know how to repair it. I need help. Can you help me, Lily?" + +Lily thought for a moment. She was still angry, but she also felt sorry for Tom. She remembered that her mom always told her to be kind and helpful. She said, "Okay, I will help you. But you have to be careful next time. You have to ask me before you touch my things." + +Tom said, "Thank you, Lily. You are a good sister. I will ask you next time. I will also help you clean up the mess." + +Lily and Tom worked together to repair the cabinet. They used some glue and tape and a hammer. They also picked up the books and put them back in the cabinet. They were happy when they finished. They hugged each other and said, "We did it!" + +Lily said, "Now we can play together. Do you want to play with my dollhouse?" + +Tom said, "Yes, I do. Can I be the dad?" + +Lily said, "Sure, you can be the dad. I will be the mom. And the dolls will be our children." + +They played with the dollhouse and had fun. They learned that it is better to share and help than to fight and break. They also learned that it is important to respect and ask before touching other people's things. They were good siblings and friends. +Timmy likes to draw with his pencil. He draws cars, houses, animals and people. He fills his paper with many colors and shapes. He is very proud of his drawings and shows them to his mom and dad. + +One day, he goes to school with his pencil and paper. He wants to draw something for his teacher, Miss Lee. He likes Miss Lee, she is very nice and helps him learn new things. He sits at his desk and starts to draw a big flower for her. + +But then, he hears a loud noise. He looks up and sees Billy, a boy who is not very nice. Billy has taken his pencil and snapped it in half. He laughs and says, "Your pencil is broken, Timmy. Your drawing is ugly. You are a baby who can't draw." + +Timmy feels very sad and angry. He wants to cry, but he doesn't. He feels embarrassed, because everyone is looking at him and his broken pencil. He doesn't know what to do. + +Miss Lee sees what happened and comes to Timmy. She picks up the broken pencil and says, "Billy, that was not nice. You need to say sorry to Timmy and give him a new pencil. You also need to go to the time-out corner and think about what you did." + +She turns to Timmy and says, "Timmy, I'm sorry that Billy broke your pencil. That was very mean. But you don't need to be embarrassed. Your drawing is beautiful. I love your flower. Can I have it for my desk?" + +Timmy nods and smiles. He gives his drawing to Miss Lee. She hugs him and says, "Thank you, Timmy. You are a very good artist. I'm proud of you." + +Timmy feels happy again. He takes the new pencil from Billy and says, "Thank you, Billy. I hope you will be nice next time." + +He goes back to his desk and draws another picture. He fills his paper with more colors and shapes. He is not embarrassed anymore. He is happy. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play with toys. One day, they find a big yellow ball in the park. They both want to play with it. + +"Give me the ball!" Tom says. + +"No, it is mine!" Lily says. + +They fight over the ball. They pull and push and shout. The ball flies out of their hands and rolls away. + +A dog sees the ball. He runs to get it. He bites the ball and makes a hole. The air comes out of the ball. The ball is flat. + +Tom and Lily stop fighting. They look at the ball. They feel sad. + +"I am sorry, Tom," Lily says. "I should have shared the ball with you." + +"I am sorry, too, Lily," Tom says. "I should have been kind to you." + +They hug each other. They are friends again. + +They see a boy with a red ball. He is alone. He looks bored. + +"Hi, do you want to play with us?" Tom asks. + +"Sure, that would be fun!" the boy says. + +They go to play with the red ball. They share and take turns. They have a good time. They are happy. +Sara and Tom were on a big boat with their mom and dad. They liked to look at the water and the fish and the birds. One day, the boat stopped at a port. The port had many other boats and people and shops. Sara and Tom wanted to explore. + +"Can we go see the port, mom?" Sara asked. + +"Yes, but stay close to us, okay?" Mom said. + +Sara and Tom nodded and followed their mom and dad off the boat. They saw many things that made them curious and happy. They saw a man with a yellow hat and a yellow coat. He was selling yellow bananas and yellow lemons. They saw a woman with a yellow dress and a yellow scarf. She was painting yellow flowers on a canvas. They saw a boy with a yellow shirt and a yellow ball. He was playing with a yellow dog. + +"Look, Tom, everything is yellow here!" Sara said. + +"Yes, it is. I like yellow. It is bright and sunny," Tom said. + +They walked some more and saw a big park. The park had many trees and grass and benches. And in the middle of the park, there was a big fountain. The fountain had water that sprayed up and down. And around the fountain, there were many flowers. The flowers were not yellow. They were red and pink and purple and blue and white. They were very pretty. + +"Wow, look at the flowers, Sara. They are so colorful. They are blooming," Tom said. + +"Yes, they are. They are blooming because it is spring. Spring is when flowers bloom and grow," Sara said. + +They ran to the fountain and smelled the flowers. They felt the water on their faces. They laughed and smiled. + +"Can we pick some flowers, mom?" Sara asked. + +"Sure, but only a few, okay? We don't want to hurt the flowers," Mom said. + +Sara and Tom picked some flowers and made a bouquet. They gave it to their mom and dad. + +"Thank you, Sara and Tom. These are beautiful flowers. You are very sweet," Mom said. + +"You're welcome, mom and dad. We love you," Sara and Tom said. + +They hugged their mom and dad and went back to the boat. They had a fun day at the port. They saw many yellow things and many blooming flowers. They were happy. +Timmy was restless yesterday. He did not want to play with his toys or read his books. He wanted to go outside and see the birds and the flowers. But Mommy said it was too cold and rainy. She said he had to stay inside and be quiet. + +Timmy was sad and bored. He looked out the window and saw a big puddle. He wanted to jump in it and splash. He put on his boots and his coat and opened the door. He ran to the puddle and jumped. + +"Timmy, come back!" Mommy shouted. "You will get wet and sick!" + +But Timmy did not listen. He jumped again and again. He laughed and shouted. He felt happy and free. + +Mommy came out and grabbed Timmy. She was angry and worried. She held him tight and carried him inside. She took off his boots and his coat and dried him with a towel. She checked his forehead and his nose. + +"Timmy, you are naughty and foolish!" Mommy said. "You could have caught a cold or hurt yourself. Why did you run away?" + +Timmy looked at Mommy and saw her eyes. They were not only angry and worried. They were also sad and scared. He felt sorry and ashamed. + +"Mommy, I'm sorry," Timmy said. "I was restless and wanted to have fun. I did not mean to make you mad or scared. I love you." + +Mommy hugged Timmy and kissed him. She was not angry or worried anymore. She was happy and relieved. She loved him too. + +"Timmy, I'm sorry too," Mommy said. "I know you were restless and wanted to have fun. But you have to listen to me and be careful. I only want you to be safe and healthy. I love you." + +Timmy and Mommy smiled and cuddled. They felt warm and cozy. They read a story and sang a song. They were not restless anymore. They were calm and content. +Sara and Ben like to play with their blocks. They build towers and bridges and houses. But their favorite thing to build is a castle. They use the big blocks for the walls and the small blocks for the windows and doors. They put a flag on top and pretend they are the king and queen. + +One day, a new boy comes to their playroom. His name is Tom and he has pale skin and curly hair. He sees Sara and Ben's castle and says, "Wow, that's a nice castle. Can I play with you?" + +Sara and Ben say yes, because they are friendly and like to share. They show Tom their castle and tell him what each part is. Tom nods and smiles, but he has a sneaky plan in his head. + +He says, "You know, I have a lot of toys at home. I have cars and trains and planes and robots. Do you want to see them?" + +Sara and Ben say yes, because they are curious and like to see new things. They follow Tom to his house, which is not far from the playroom. Tom shows them his toys and says, "You can play with any of them. But there is one thing I want from you. I want your castle. Will you sell it to me?" + +Sara and Ben are surprised and sad. They love their castle and don't want to give it away. They say, "No, we can't sell our castle. It's ours and we made it together. We don't want your toys. We want our castle." + +Tom is angry and mean. He says, "Fine, then you can't play with my toys. Go away and leave me alone." He pushes Sara and Ben out of his house and slams the door. + +Sara and Ben run back to the playroom, hoping their castle is still there. But when they get there, they see that Tom has taken their castle. He has broken it into pieces and thrown it in the trash. Sara and Ben are very sad and cry. They hug each other and say, "We should have never trusted Tom. He is a bad boy. He lied to us and stole our castle." + +The end. +Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big slide. It is silver and long. It looks fun. + +"Let's go on the slide!" Tom says. + +"OK!" Sue says. + +They run to the slide. Tom goes first. He sits on the slide and zips down. He laughs and says, "That was fun!" + +Sue goes next. She sits on the slide and zips down. But she does not laugh. She cries and says, "Ouch! That hurt!" + +Tom runs to Sue. He sees that she has a cut on her leg. He says, "What happened?" + +Sue says, "The slide was too hot. It burned my leg." + +Tom says, "I'm sorry. I did not know. Let me help you." + +He takes Sue to the water fountain. He washes her cut with water. He says, "Does that feel better?" + +Sue says, "A little. Thank you, Tom. You are a good friend." + +Tom says, "You are welcome, Sue. You are a good friend, too. Next time, we should check the slide before we go on it. Maybe we can find a cooler one." + +Sue says, "Yes, that is a good idea. Let's go and look for one." + +They hold hands and walk away. They have learned to be careful and to help each other. +Sara liked to play in the rain. She put on her yellow dress and her red boots and ran outside. She jumped in the puddles and splashed the water. She felt happy and free. + +But her mom did not like it. She called Sara from the window. "Sara, come inside! You will get sick! Your dress is all wet!" She sounded angry and worried. + +Sara did not want to go inside. She wanted to play more. She saw a big puddle near the street. It looked like a lake. She ran towards it. She did not see the car coming. + +The car honked and braked. Sara stopped and looked. She was scared. The car was very close. She felt a splash on her face. The car had hit the puddle and soaked her. Her dress was dripping. Her boots were full of water. She felt cold and wet. + +Her mom ran to her and hugged her. She was crying and shaking. She was glad Sara was not hurt. She was mad at the car. She took Sara inside and changed her clothes. She gave her a thick towel and a hot drink. She told her to never play near the street. She told her she loved her. Sara felt sorry and hugged her back. She learned her lesson. She still liked to play in the rain, but only in the yard. +Lily was anxious. She had to wear a new dress for her first day of school. She did not like the dress. It was pink and had flowers on it. She wanted to wear her blue jeans and her green shirt. + +"Come on, Lily, it's time to go," her mom said. She held a folder in her hand. It had Lily's name and a picture of a cat on it. "This is your folder. You can put your drawings and your letters in it. You will meet your teacher and your new friends today. They will like you and your folder." + +Lily shook her head. She did not want to go. She did not want to meet new people. She wanted to stay home with her mom and her teddy bear. She hugged her teddy bear and said, "No, no, no. I don't want to wear this dress. I don't want to go to school. I want to stay with you and teddy." + +Her mom smiled and hugged her back. She said, "I know you are nervous, Lily, but school is fun. You will learn new things and play with new toys. You will make new friends who will like you and your teddy bear. And I will be here when you come back. I will always love you, no matter what you wear." + +Lily looked at her mom and then at her dress. She did not like it, but she loved her mom. She said, "Okay, mom, I will try. But can I bring teddy with me?" + +Her mom nodded and said, "Of course, you can. Teddy can go to school with you. He can sit in your folder and watch you learn and play. He will be proud of you, just like I am." + +Lily smiled and said, "Thank you, mom. I love you, too." She put teddy in her folder and held her mom's hand. They walked to the car and drove to school. Lily was still anxious, but she was also curious. She wondered what school would be like. She hoped it would be fun. +Lily and Anna are sisters. They like to play with dolls and books.

She sees Lily and Anna fighting over the doll. She is not happy. She says, "Stop it, girls! You need to share and be nice to each other. You are sisters!" + +She takes the doll and makes Lily and Anna sit on the couch. She says, "You can both play with the doll, but you have to take turns. Lily, you can play with it for ten minutes, then you have to give it to Anna. Anna, you have to wait and be patient. Do you understand?" + +Lily and Anna nod and say, "Yes, Mom." They sit on the couch and look at the doll. They feel sorry for fighting. They say, "Sorry, sister." They hug and smile. They decide to play with the doll together and share their books too.

They both pull and tug on the car, and it breaks in half. They start to cry and yell at each other. + +"Give me back my car!" Tim shouts. + +"No, it is mine!" Sam shouts back. + +Their mom hears the noise and comes to see what is wrong. She sees the broken car and the angry brothers. She is not happy. + +"What are you doing, boys?" she asks.

They look at each other and say sorry. + +"I'm sorry, Tim. I was silly. You can have the red car." Sam says. + +"I'm sorry, Sam. I was silly too. You can have the blue truck." Tim says. + +They hug each other and smile. Their mom smiles too. She is glad they made up. + +"Good boys. I'm proud of you.

He found a brown rock with spots. "Look, Lily, I found a rock with spots!" + +They decided to sort the things they found. They made two piles: one for shells and one for rocks. They put the sticks and seaweed in a third pile. They left the crabs alone. + +"Sorting is fun!" Lily said. "We can make a necklace with the shells and a castle with the rocks." + +"Good idea!"

They want to see the spark. + +"Look, Jen, a spark!" Tim says. "Let's spray water on it. Maybe it will make a rainbow." + +"No, Tim, don't do that!" Jen says. "Mum said sparks are bad. They can hurt you. They can make fire. We should tell Mum." + +But Tim does not listen. He runs to the hose. He turns it on. He aims at the spark. He sprays water on it. + +The spark gets bigger. It makes a louder noise. It jumps to the hose. It reaches Tim's hand. Tim feels a shock. He drops the hose. He screams. He is hurt. + +Jen runs to Tim. She hugs him. She cries. She calls Mum.

You are lucky you are not badly hurt. You must listen to Jen and me. Do you understand?" + +Tim nods. He is sorry. He is in pain. He says sorry to Mum and Jen. He learns his lesson. He never sprays water on sparks again. +Lily and Max were playing in the garden. They liked to pretend they were explorers, looking for treasure and animals. Lily had a red hat and a map. Max had a green backpack and a binoculars. + +"Look, Lily, I see something shiny over there!" Max said, pointing to a pile of rocks. "Maybe it's a treasure!" + +"Let's go and see!" Lily said, excited. She followed Max to the rocks. They climbed over them and found a metal box. It had a lock and a key. + +"Wow, this is a treasure!" Max said, grabbing the key. He tried to open the lock, but it was stuck. He pulled harder and harder, but it didn't move. + +"Let me try, Max," Lily said. She wanted to see what was inside the box. Maybe it was a necklace or a ring or a toy. + +"No, I can do it," Max said. He didn't want to share the treasure. He liked shiny things. He insist he was the one who saw it first. + +"Please, Max, let me try," Lily said. She was sad. She thought Max was her friend. She thought friends share things. + +"No, go away, Lily," Max said. He was angry. He pushed Lily away from the box. Lily fell down and hurt her knee. She started to cry. + +"Max, you're mean!" Lily said, sobbing. She ran away from the rocks. She wanted to go home. + +Max didn't care. He kept pulling the key. He wanted to open the box. He wanted to see the treasure. He didn't notice the smoke coming out of the lock. He didn't notice the smell of fire. He didn't notice the danger. + +Suddenly, the box exploded. A loud bang and a bright flash made Max scream. He dropped the key and covered his eyes. He felt a pain in his hand. He looked at it and saw a burn. He was scared. + +"Help, help!" Max shouted. He wanted his mom. He wanted Lily. He wanted to go home. + +Lily heard Max's scream.

You can have the treasure." + +Lily smiled and said, "It's okay, Max, I forgive you. You're my friend too. But I don't want the treasure. It's not attractive. It's dangerous. Let's go home." + +They held hands and walked away from the rocks. They left the box and the key behind. They didn't need them. They had each other. They were happy. +Sam liked steak. He liked it a lot. He liked it more than any other food. He liked it more than his toys. He liked it more than his dog. He liked it more than his mom and dad. + +One day, mom and dad went out. They said they had something important to do. They said they would be back soon. They said they left some steak for Sam in the fridge. They said Sam could have it for dinner. They said Sam had to be good and not make a mess. + +Sam was happy. He waited for a little while. He played with his toys. He played with his dog. He watched some TV. But he was still hungry. He wanted steak. He decided to go to the fridge and get it. + +He opened the fridge. He saw the steak. It was big and juicy and red. It smelled good. It looked good. It was Sam's steak. He reached for it. But then he saw something else. He saw a note. It was from mom and dad. It said: + +"Sam, this steak is not for you. This steak is for our guests. They are coming for dinner tonight. They are very important people. They like steak a lot. Do not touch the steak. Wait for us to come back. We will make you something else. Love, mom and dad." + +Sam was angry. He did not care about the guests. He did not care about the note. He did not care about mom and dad. He only cared about the steak. He wanted the steak. He needed the steak. He grabbed the steak. He ripped the note. He threw it on the floor. + +He ran to the table. He put the steak on a plate. He got a knife and a fork. He was ready to eat. He was happy. He smiled. He cut a big piece of steak. He put it in his mouth. He chewed. He swallowed. + +But then he felt something. He felt something hard and sharp. He felt something hurt his mouth. He felt something cut his tongue. He felt something make him bleed. He felt something snap. + +He spit out the piece of steak. He saw what it was. It was a bone. A big, sharp bone. It was hidden in the steak. It was a trap. Mom and dad had tricked him. They had left him a bad steak. They had left him a dangerous steak. They had left him a steak that could hurt him. + +Sam cried. He cried a lot. He cried more than he ever cried before. He cried more than when he fell off his bike. He cried more than when he lost his toy. He cried more than when his dog bit him. He cried more than when mom and dad yelled at him. + +He cried until mom and dad came back. They saw the mess. They saw the steak. They saw the note. They saw the bone. They saw the blood. They saw Sam. + +They were angry. They were very angry. They were more angry than Sam had ever seen them. They were more angry than when he broke the vase. They were more angry than when he drew on the wall. They were more angry than when he lied to them. They were more angry than when he stole the steak. + +They yelled at Sam. They yelled a lot. They yelled more than they ever yelled before. They yelled more than when he made a noise. They yelled more than when he was late. They yelled more than when he was rude. They yelled more than when he disobeyed them. + +They punished Sam. They punished him a lot. They punished him more than they ever punished him before. They punished him more than when he had no TV. They punished him more than when he had no toys. They punished him more than when he had no dog. They punished him more than when he had no steak. + +They punished him by making him go to bed. They punished him by making him stay in his room. They punished him by making him miss dinner. They punished him by making him miss the guests. They punished him by making him miss the steak. + +Sam was sad. He was very sad. He was more sad than he ever was before. He was more sad than when he was hungry. He was more sad than when he was lonely. He was more sad than when he was hurt. He was more sad than when he was sorry. + +He wished he had not taken the steak. He wished he had listened to mom and dad. He wished he had been good and not made a mess. He wished he had waited for them to come back. He wished he had something else to eat. + +But he had nothing. He had no steak. He had no food. He had no toys. He had no dog. He had no mom and dad. + +He had only a bone. A big, sharp bone. A +Lily and Max were playing hide and seek in the park. Lily was the seeker and Max was the hider. Lily counted to ten and then looked for Max. She saw his foot sticking out from behind a bush. She ran to the bush and shouted, "I found you, Max! You have to surrender!" + +Max did not want to surrender. He liked hiding and he wanted to win. He pulled his foot back and crawled to another bush. He hoped Lily would not see him. He was very persistent. + +But Lily was also persistent. She followed Max's footprints on the grass and found him again. She said, "Max, you can't hide forever. You have to surrender or I will tickle you!" + +Max did not like being tickled. He knew Lily was good at tickling. He decided to surrender. He came out from the bush and said, "Okay, okay, you win, Lily. You are a good seeker. I surrender." + +Lily smiled and hugged Max. She said, "You are a good hider, Max. But you can't fool me. I always find you. Now it's your turn to seek and my turn to hide. Let's play again!" +Tim and Lily are friends. They like to play with their scooters in the park. One day, they see a big hill. They want to go up the hill and ride down fast. + +"Come on, Lily, let's go up the hill!" Tim says. + +"OK, Tim, but be careful!" Lily says. + +They push their scooters up the hill. It is hard work. They are tired and thirsty. They see a bench and a fountain. They leave their scooters by the bench and go to the fountain. They drink some water and sit on the bench. + +They see a big dog. The dog is brown and fluffy. It has a soft collar and a leash. The dog looks friendly. It comes to Tim and Lily and wags its tail. + +"Hello, doggy, what is your name?" Tim asks. + +The dog barks and licks Tim's face. Tim laughs and pets the dog. + +"Lily, look, the dog likes me!" Tim says. + +Lily smiles and pets the dog too. The dog likes Lily as well. It barks and licks Lily's face. Lily laughs and hugs the dog. + +"Tim, look, the dog likes me too!" Lily says. + +They play with the dog for a while. They forget about their scooters. They do not see a man who walks by the bench. The man sees the scooters. He looks around and sees no one. He takes the scooters and walks away. + +Tim and Lily do not notice. They are having fun with the dog. They do not hear the man's footsteps. They do not see the man's face. They do not know that their scooters are gone. They are happy with the dog. The dog is happy with them. They wander around the park with the dog. They do not know that they are in trouble. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play in the kitchen. One day, they see a big pot on the stove. It has steam coming out of it. + +"Look, Ben, what is in the pot?" Lily asks. + +"I don't know, let's see," Ben says. He climbs on a chair and reaches for the lid. + +"No, Ben, don't touch it!" Lily warns. "It is hot, it can hurt you!" + +But Ben does not listen. He lifts the lid and sees white grains in the water. He tries to grab some with his hand. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Ben cries. He drops the lid and the pot. The water and the grains spill on the floor. Ben's hand is red and sore. + +"Mama, mama, help!" Lily shouts. She runs to get their mother. + +Mama comes and sees the mess. She is angry and worried. She picks up Ben and puts his hand under cold water. + +"What did you do, Ben?" Mama asks. "This is rice, it is for dinner. You should not touch it, it is very hot!" + +"I'm sorry, mama, I wanted to see," Ben says. He is sorry and sad. + +Mama hugs him and says, "It's okay, Ben, I know you were curious. But you have to listen to Lily, she was trying to warn you. And you have to be careful in the kitchen, there are many things that can hurt you." + +Lily comes and hugs Ben too. She says, "I'm sorry, Ben, I hope your hand feels better soon." + +Ben smiles and says, "Thank you, Lily, you are a good sister. I will listen to you next time." + +Mama smiles and says, "That's good, Ben. Now let's clean up this mess and make some more rice for dinner." +Anna and Ben were friends who liked to play in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run on the grass. One day, they saw a new girl in the park. She had a big ball and a pretty dress. She looked fun and nice. + +"Let's go and say hi to her," Anna said to Ben. "Maybe she wants to play with us." + +"OK," Ben said. They walked over to the new girl and smiled. + +"Hi, we are Anna and Ben. What is your name?" Anna asked. + +"I am Lily," the new girl said. "Do you want to play with my ball?" + +"Yes, please," Anna and Ben said. They took turns to throw and catch the ball. They had a lot of fun. + +But then, Lily did something mean. She squeezed the ball very hard and made it pop. She laughed and said, "Ha ha, now you can't play with my ball anymore. It is mine and only mine. Go away, you are not my friends." + +Anna and Ben felt sad and angry. They did not like Lily anymore. They wanted to go home. + +"Hey, that was not nice," a voice said. It was Sam, another kid in the park. He was popular because he was kind and helpful. He saw what Lily did and came over. + +"Why did you pop the ball?" Sam asked Lily. "That was not fair. You should share and be nice to others. That is how you make friends." + +Lily looked at Sam. She felt ashamed and sorry. She realized she was wrong. She said, "I'm sorry, I was selfish and mean. I popped the ball because I was afraid you would take it away from me. I don't have many friends and I wanted to keep the ball for myself. But I see now that was not a good way to act. Can you forgive me?" + +Sam nodded. He said, "I forgive you, but you have to apologize to Anna and Ben too. They were nice to you and you hurt their feelings. Maybe they will forgive you too, if you are sincere and kind." + +Lily nodded. She walked over to Anna and Ben and said, "I'm sorry, Anna and Ben. I was wrong to pop the ball and laugh at you. You were nice to me and I was not nice to you. Can you forgive me and be my friends?" + +Anna and Ben looked at Lily. They saw that she was sincere and kind. They decided to give her another chance. They said, "We forgive you, Lily. We can be your friends, if you promise to share and be nice from now on." + +Lily smiled and hugged them. She said, "Thank you, Anna and Ben. I promise to share and be nice from now on. I'm glad we are friends." + +They all smiled and hugged. They decided to play together again. They found another ball and had fun. They learned that sharing and being nice is better than being selfish and mean. They also learned that everyone makes mistakes, but they can be forgiven if they are sorry and change. They became good friends and had a happy day. +Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and laugh. They saw a red fox near the fence. The fox was curious. It looked at them with bright eyes. + +"Let's catch the fox!" Tom said. He ran towards the fox. Lily followed him. They wanted to touch the fox and make friends with it. + +But the fox was scared. It did not want to be caught. It ran away from the children. It jumped over the fence and ran into the woods. + +"Come back, fox!" Lily shouted. She was sad. She liked the fox. She wanted to see it again. + +"Maybe the fox will come back another day," Tom said. He hugged Lily. "We can play with something else. Look, there is a ball!" + +Lily smiled. She liked the ball. She threw it to Tom. They played with the ball and forgot about the fox. They were happy. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big swing. Lily wants to go on the swing. She runs to the swing and sits on it. She says, "Push me, Tom, push me!" + +Tom pushes Lily on the swing. Lily is happy. She swings high and low. She feels the wind in her hair. She laughs and says, "This is fun, Tom, this is fun!" + +But then, a naughty boy comes to the park. He sees Lily and Tom on the swing. He wants to go on the swing too. He does not wait for his turn. He runs to the swing and pushes Lily off. He says, "This is my swing, go away!" + +Lily falls to the ground. She hurts her knee. She cries and says, "Ow, ow, ow! That was mean, that was mean!" + +Tom is angry. He runs to the naughty boy and says, "You are bad, you are bad! You cannot do that, you cannot do that!" + +The naughty boy is scared. He runs away from the park. He says, "Sorry, sorry, sorry!" + +Lily and Tom hug each other. They are friends again. They go back to the swing and take turns. They say, "We are good, we are good! We share and care, we share and care!" +Tom and Lily were playing in the sand. They had buckets and shovels and made a big castle. They were happy and had fun. + +But then, Ben came. Ben was mean and rude. He wanted to play with Tom and Lily's castle, but he did not ask. He just kicked it and broke it. Tom and Lily were sad and angry. + +"Hey, stop that!" Tom shouted. "That is our castle, not yours!" + +"I don't care!" Ben said. "I can do what I want!" + +Tom and Lily did not like that. They decided to fight Ben. They picked up sand and threw it at him. Ben threw sand back at them. They all got dirty and messy. + +But then, a big wave came. It washed away the sand and the castle and the buckets and the shovels. It also wet Tom, Lily and Ben. They all screamed and ran away. + +They were lucky that the wave did not hurt them. But they were not happy. They lost their toys and their game. They also learned that fighting is not good. It only makes things worse. They wished they had been nicer to each other. +Anna liked to play in the garden. She liked to smell the flowers, chase the butterflies and dig in the dirt. But she did not like the big gate that closed the garden. She wanted to see what was outside the gate. She was very persistent. She asked her mom and dad many times to open the gate, but they always said no. + +One day, Anna saw a small hole under the gate. She thought she could crawl through it and explore the other side. She looked around and saw that her mom and dad were busy in the house. She decided to sneak out of the garden. She bent down and pushed her head through the hole. She felt a breeze on her face and a new smell in her nose. She was excited. + +But she did not see the big dog that was waiting for her. The dog saw Anna and barked loudly. He ran towards her and snapped his teeth. Anna was scared. She tried to pull her head back, but it was stuck. She cried for help. She wished she had listened to her mom and dad. + +Her mom and dad heard her cry and ran out of the house. They saw the dog and the hole and Anna. They shouted at the dog and scared him away. They pulled Anna out of the hole and hugged her. They were angry and relieved. They told Anna that she was naughty and that the gate was there to keep her safe. They told her to never do that again. + +Anna was sorry and ashamed. She said she was sorry and that she loved them. They said they loved her too and that they were glad she was okay. They took her back to the garden and gave her a cookie. Anna learned her lesson. She never tried to go through the gate again. She was happy to play in the garden. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with cars and balls. One day, they go to the park with their moms. They see a big chicken in a cage. The chicken has white feathers and red eyes. + +Tom wants to touch the chicken. He runs to the cage and puts his hand inside. The chicken pecks his hand. Tom cries and runs back to his mom. His mom hugs him and puts a band-aid on his hand. + +Sam is patient. He waits for the chicken to calm down. He finds some bread in his bag. He breaks the bread into small pieces. He offers the bread to the chicken. He hopes the chicken will be his friend. + +The chicken sees the bread. It comes closer to the cage. Sam smiles and puts his hand inside. The chicken takes the bread from his hand. Then the chicken bites his finger. Sam screams and pulls his hand out. His finger is bleeding. His mom runs to him and takes him to the doctor. + +Tom and Sam are not friends with the chicken. The chicken is mean and hungry. They do not like the chicken. They do not go to the park anymore. They play with their cars and balls at home. They are sad. The end. +Will and Sam are friends. 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!" Will says. + +"OK!" Sam says. + +They run to the slide. They see a door at the bottom of the slide. The door has a lock. + +"What is this?" Will asks. + +"I don't know. Maybe it is a secret place." Sam says. + +They try to open the door. But the door is locked. They cannot open it. + +"Who has the key?" Will asks. + +"I don't know. Maybe the park man has it." Sam says. + +They look for the park man. They see him near the swings. He has a big bunch of keys. + +"Hello, park man!" Will says. + +"Hello, boys!" the park man says. + +"Can you open the door at the slide?" Sam asks. + +"The door at the slide? Why do you want to open it?" the park man asks. + +"We want to see what is inside. Maybe it is a secret place." Will says. + +The park man laughs. He thinks it is funny. + +"There is nothing inside. It is just a storage room. I keep some tools and toys there." the park man says. + +"Can we see?" Sam asks. + +"OK, but only for a minute. Follow me." the park man says. + +He takes them to the door. He uses a key to open the lock. He opens the door. + +They see some tools and toys. They are not very interesting. + +"Is this it?" Will asks. + +"Yes, this is it. Nothing special. Come on, let's go. You can play on the slide or the swings or the sandbox." the park man says. + +He closes the door. He locks the lock. + +Will and Sam are a little disappointed. They thought it was a secret place. But it was not. + +They decide to play on the slide. They have fun. They forget about the door. They slide down and down and down. They laugh and laugh and laugh. +Tom and Lily liked to visit their grandpa on his farm. He had many animals, but their favorite was the cow. The cow was big and brown and gave them milk. Grandpa said the cow was elderly, which meant she was very old and wise. + +One day, Tom and Lily saw the cow lying down in the grass. They ran to her and tried to pet her, but she did not move. They called for grandpa, who came with a bucket and a rope. He said the cow was sick and needed help to stand up. + +Grandpa tied the rope around the cow's neck and asked Tom and Lily to hold the bucket. He said the bucket had water and salt, which would make the cow feel better. He told them to raise the bucket to the cow's mouth, so she could drink. Tom and Lily did as grandpa said, and raised the bucket high. The cow licked the water and salt, and made a soft moo. + +Grandpa smiled and said they did a good job. He said the cow was feeling a little better, but still needed to rest. He asked Tom and Lily to stay with the cow and talk to her, while he went to get some hay. Tom and Lily nodded and sat next to the cow. They told her stories and jokes, and stroked her fur. The cow looked at them with her big eyes, and seemed to listen. + +After a while, grandpa came back with some hay. He put it in front of the cow, and said she could eat when she was hungry. He thanked Tom and Lily for helping him, and said they were very kind and brave. He said the cow was lucky to have them as friends. Tom and Lily hugged grandpa and the cow, and said they loved them both. The cow mooed again, and lifted her head. She was feeling much better. +Tom and Lily like to play catch with a ball. They throw the ball to each other and try to catch it with their hands. Sometimes they miss and the ball falls to the ground. Then they run to get it and throw it again. + +One day, they play catch in the park. The park has many trees and flowers and birds. The air is fresh and light. Tom and Lily breathe the air and feel happy. They call the air oxygen. They learned that word from their mom. She said oxygen is good for them and helps them grow. + +But then, a big dog comes to the park. The dog sees the ball and wants to play too. He runs to the ball and catches it with his mouth. He shakes it and makes it wet. Tom and Lily are scared. They want their ball back. They shout at the dog and try to get closer. + +The dog thinks they want to play more. He runs away with the ball and makes a loud noise. He is having fun. Tom and Lily are not. They are sad and angry. They chase the dog and hope to catch him and their ball. They run and run and run. They use a lot of oxygen. They feel tired and hot. + +Will they catch the dog and their ball? Or will the dog keep them and run away? What do you think? +Ben and Mia are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, they find a big box in the park. They wonder what is inside. + +"Maybe it is a surprise for us," Mia says. "Let's open it and see." + +"OK, but we have to be careful," Ben says. "Maybe it is not a good surprise. Maybe it is a trap." + +They discuss how to open the box. They are very clever. They use a stick to lift the lid. They peek inside. + +They see a lot of candy. They are very happy. They think it is a good surprise. + +"Wow, look at all the candy!" Mia says. "Let's take some and eat it." + +"OK, but not too much," Ben says. "We don't want to get sick." + +They take some candy and put it in their pockets. They eat some candy. It is very sweet and yummy. + +They do not see the man who is hiding behind a tree. He is watching them. He is not a good man. He put the candy in the box. He wants to catch the children. He has a big net and a big bag. + +He waits until the children are busy eating candy. Then he runs out from behind the tree. He throws the net over them. He puts them in the bag. He runs away with them. + +The children are very scared. They scream and cry. They try to get out of the bag. But they cannot. The bag is very strong. The man is very fast. + +They wish they did not open the box. They wish they did not eat the candy. They wish they ran away. But it is too late. They are in trouble. They do not know what will happen to them. They are very sad. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play with toys and eat snacks. One day, they find a small bowl in the kitchen. It is blue and shiny. They want to share it. + +Tom says, "I want to part the bowl with you. You can have one half and I can have the other half." He tries to break the bowl with his hands, but it is too hard. He pulls and pulls, but nothing happens. + +Lily says, "No, no, no! You cannot part the bowl. It is not a toy. It is for food. If you part the bowl, it will be broken and sad. And we will have no bowl to eat from." + +Tom says, "But I want to part the bowl. It is fun. And we can have two bowls instead of one. Then we can have more snacks." + +Lily says, "But we have enough snacks. And we have other toys to play with. Look, here is a ball and a doll and a car. We can play with them and have fun. And we can keep the bowl safe and whole." + +Tom thinks for a moment. He sees the ball and the doll and the car. He sees the bowl and how blue and shiny it is. He sees Lily and how she is his friend. He says, "Okay, okay, okay. You are right. We cannot part the bowl. It is not a toy. It is for food. And we are friends. We can share the bowl and the snacks and the toys." + +Lily smiles and hugs Tom. She says, "Thank you, thank you, thank you. You are a good friend. I am happy. We can share the bowl and the snacks and the toys. And we can have fun." + +They put the bowl back in the kitchen. They take the ball and the doll and the car. They go to the living room and play. They are happy. They are friends. The end. +Anna and Ben were friends. They liked to play together in the park. They shared their toys and snacks. They said they would become wife and husband when they grew up. + +One day, a new girl came to the park. Her name was Zoe. She had long hair and a pretty dress. Ben wanted to play with her. He gave her his ball and his candy. He said she was his new friend. + +Anna was sad. She felt alone. She asked Ben to play with her. But Ben said no. He said he liked Zoe more. He said Anna was boring and ugly. He said he would become Zoe's husband when they grew up. + +Anna was angry. She wanted to make Ben sorry. She had a plan. She found a big stick and a sharp rock. She waited for Ben and Zoe to sit on the bench. She ran behind them and hit them hard. She made them bleed and cry. + +Anna was happy. She thought she had won. But then she saw the people. They saw what she did. They were scared and angry. They called the police. They took Anna away. She never saw Ben or Zoe again. She never became anyone's wife. She became a terrible person. +Tom was a poor boy who lived with his mom and dad in a small house. He did not have many toys or clothes, but he was happy and loved his family. One day, Tom got very sick. He had a fever and a cough and his throat hurt. His mom and dad were worried and took him to the doctor. + +The doctor looked at Tom and gave him some pills. He said, "Tom, you have a bad cold. You need to take these pills every day and drink a lot of water. You also need to rest a lot and stay in bed. This will help you get better soon." Tom nodded and took the pills. He did not like how they tasted, but he knew they were good for him. + +Tom went home with his mom and dad and they tucked him in his bed. They gave him a soft blanket and a teddy bear to keep him company. They kissed him and said, "We love you, Tom. You are a brave boy. We hope you feel better soon." Tom smiled and said, "I love you too, mom and dad. Thank you for taking care of me." He closed his eyes and rested. He hoped he would get well soon and play with his friends again. +Anna and Ben are having breakfast with their mom. They like to eat toast with jam and butter. Mom gives them each a plate with two slices of toast. + +"Can I have some jam, please?" Anna asks politely. She likes jam a lot. It is sweet and sticky and makes her toast taste good. + +"Sure, here you go," Mom says, and passes her the jar of jam. "But don't take too much, or you will have a tummy ache." + +Anna nods and takes a spoonful of jam. She spreads it on her toast carefully. She does not want to make a mess. + +Ben watches Anna and has a question. He does not like jam very much. He thinks it is too sweet and sticky and makes his toast taste bad. + +"Why do you like jam so much?" he questions Anna. "It is not good. It is yucky." + +Anna looks at Ben and smiles. She likes her brother, even if he does not like jam. + +"I like jam because it is good," she answers Ben. "It is not yucky. It is yummy. Do you want to try some?" + +Ben shakes his head.

They are dirty and wet. Dad hugs them. + +"I'm glad you are safe," he says. "But you should not go into the pipe. It is dangerous." + +"Sorry, Dad," they say. + +Dad takes them to the house. He wipes their faces and clothes. He gives them a warm drink. + +"Next time, play somewhere else," he says. + +"OK, Dad," they say. + +They are happy.

They think it is hard and boring. + +One day, Mom and Dad go out. They say, "Ben and Jen, you are big now. You can stay at home alone. But you have to do some things. You have to clean your room, wash the dishes, and make some food. We will be back soon." + +Ben and Jen say, "OK, Mom and Dad. We will do it." But they do not mean it. They think it is easy. They think they have a lot of time. They think they can play first and do the things later. + +They play with their toys, watch TV, and read books. They have a lot of fun. They forget about the things they have to do. They do not look at the clock. + +Soon, they are hungry. They go to the kitchen. They look for some food. But they do not find any. They do not know how to make food. They do not know how to use the stove, the oven, or the microwave. They do not know how to open the cans, the jars, or the boxes.

This food is boring." + +Then, they hear a sound. It is the door. Mom and Dad are back. They see Ben and Jen in the kitchen. They see the bread, the cheese, and the apples. They see the dirty room, the unwashed dishes, and the undone things. They are not happy. They say, "Ben and Jen, what did you do? You did not do the things we asked you to do. You did not make any food. You did not clean, wash, or make. You only played, watched, and read. You did not listen to us. You did not respect us. You did not care about us." + +Ben and Jen feel sorry. They say, "We are sorry, Mom and Dad. We were wrong. We did not think. We did not do. We only wanted to have fun. We did not know how to make food. We did not know how hard it is. We did not know how good it is. We did not appreciate it. We did not thank you for it." + +Mom and Dad hug them. They say, "We forgive you, Ben and Jen. We love you. But you have to learn. You have to think before you act. You have to do before you play. You have to know how to make food. You have to know how to clean, wash, and make. You have to listen to us. You have to respect us. You have to care about us. You have to appreciate what you have. You have to thank us for what we give you." + +Ben and Jen nod. They say, "We will learn, Mom and Dad. We will think, do, know, listen, respect, care, appreciate, and thank. We will be good. We will help you. We will eat the bread, the cheese, and the apples. We will clean our room, wash the dishes, and make some food. We will have fun, but not too much. We will love you, too." + +The moral of the story is: Think before you act, do before you play, and appreciate what you have. +Ben and Mia were twins, but they liked different things. Ben liked cars and trucks, Mia liked dolls and flowers. One day, their mom said they could play upstairs in the big room. Ben and Mia ran up the stairs, holding their toys. + +"Look, Ben, there is a big bed here. We can make a fort with the blankets and pillows," Mia said. + +"No, Mia, that is boring. Let's play with the zip line. See, there is a rope and a hook on the wall. We can zip across the room like superheroes," Ben said. + +Mia did not like the zip line. It looked scary and dangerous. She wanted to play with her dolls on the bed. Ben did not like the dolls. He wanted to zip on the rope and have fun. They argued and fought. + +"Stop it, you two. You can play with different things, but you have to share the room and be nice to each other," their mom said from downstairs. + +Ben and Mia did not listen. They kept fighting and pulling each other's toys. Then, something bad happened. Ben tried to zip on the rope, but he did not hold on tight. He fell off the hook and landed on the floor. He hurt his arm and cried. + +Mia heard Ben cry and ran to him. She felt sorry for him and hugged him. She gave him her doll to make him feel better. + +"I'm sorry, Ben. Are you okay?" Mia asked. + +"I'm sorry, Mia. I was mean to you. Thank you for the doll," Ben said. + +They hugged and said sorry. They decided to play together and share the room. They made a fort on the bed and zipped on the rope. They had fun and were happy. Their mom smiled and was proud of them. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big bear that they called Teddy. Teddy was soft and cuddly, and he had a red tie around his neck. + +One day, Ben and Lily had a fight over who could play with Teddy. Ben said, "Teddy is mine! I saw him first!" Lily said, "No, Teddy is mine! I love him more!" They both pulled on Teddy's arms, trying to take him away from each other. + +But then, something bad happened. Teddy's tie got caught on a nail on the wall, and it tore. The twins heard a loud rip, and they saw Teddy's tie hanging from the nail, torn in half. They both gasped, and let go of Teddy. They looked at Teddy, and saw that he had a big hole in his neck, where his tie used to be. + +They felt very sorry for Teddy, and for what they had done. They hugged Teddy, and said, "We're sorry, Teddy! We didn't mean to hurt you!" They also hugged each other, and said, "We're sorry, too! We shouldn't have fought over you!" + +They decided to share Teddy, and to take turns playing with him. They also decided to fix Teddy's tie, and his hole. They asked their mom for some thread and a needle, and some red fabric. They carefully sewed Teddy's tie back together, and patched up his hole. They made Teddy look as good as new. + +They were very happy, and so was Teddy. They learned that fighting over toys was not nice, and that sharing was better. They also learned that they loved each other more than any toy, and that they were not jealous of each other. They were the best twins ever. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play knights and dragons in the park. Tom has a big shield and Mia has a long stick. They pretend the stick is a sword. + +One day, they see a big dog in the park. The dog is barking loud and running fast. Tom and Mia are scared. They think the dog is a dragon. + +"Help, help!" Mia shouts. "The dragon is coming!" + +Tom holds his shield in front of Mia. He says, "Don't worry, Mia. I will protect you. You can trust me. I am a brave knight." + +But the dog does not stop. It jumps on Tom and Mia. It licks their faces and wags its tail. Tom and Mia are surprised. They realize the dog is not a dragon. It is a friendly dog. + +They look at the dog's collar. It has a name and a picture. The name is Spot. The picture is a ear with a cross. Tom and Mia understand. The dog is deaf. It cannot hear them. + +They pet the dog and smile. They say, "Sorry, Spot. We thought you were a dragon. You are a nice dog. Do you want to play with us?" + +Spot barks and nods. He likes Tom and Mia. They are nice kids. They share their shield and stick with him. They play knights and dragons together. They have fun. +Anna and Ben were playing with their toy cars. They liked to race them on the floor and make loud noises. Anna had a red car and Ben had a blue car. They pretended they were drivers in a big city. + +"Anna, I want to order some pizza for lunch. Can you call the pizza place?" Ben said. + +"Okay, Ben. I will order pizza. What kind do you want?" Anna said. + +"I want cheese pizza. And I want a big one. How big is the biggest pizza?" Ben said. + +Anna looked at her ruler. She saw the numbers and the lines. She did not know what they meant. She saw a word that said "inch". She thought it was a kind of pizza. + +"I want an inch pizza. That sounds yummy." Anna said. + +She picked up the phone and pressed some buttons. She did not know the number of the pizza place. She just guessed. + +"Hello, this is the pizza place. What can I get you?" a voice said. + +"Hi, I want to order an inch pizza. Cheese, please." Anna said. + +"An inch pizza? What do you mean by that?" the voice said. + +"An inch pizza. That's the biggest pizza, right?" Anna said. + +"No, an inch is very small. It's like this." The voice made a sound with his fingers. "Do you mean a large pizza? That's twelve inches." + +Anna did not understand. She thought the voice was making fun of her. She felt angry. + +"No, I want an inch pizza. That's what I said. Don't be foolish." Anna said. + +"Okay, okay. I'll make you an inch pizza. But it will cost you ten dollars. And it will take a long time to deliver. Is that okay?" the voice said. + +"Yes, that's okay. Thank you. Bye." Anna said. + +She hung up the phone and smiled. She thought she had ordered a big pizza for a good price. She told Ben the good news. + +"Ben, I ordered an inch pizza. It will be here soon. We can share it." Anna said. + +Ben looked at her. He did not believe her. He knew what an inch was. He had learned it in school. He thought Anna was silly. + +"Anna, an inch pizza is very small. It's not enough for us. How can we share it?" Ben said. + +Anna did not listen. She was sure she was right. She waited for the pizza to come. She was hungry and excited. + +After a long time, the doorbell rang. Anna ran to the door. She opened it and saw a man with a pizza box. She took the box and gave him ten dollars. She said thank you and closed the door. + +She opened the box and saw a tiny pizza. It was smaller than her hand. It had a little bit of cheese on it. It looked funny. + +She showed it to Ben. Ben laughed. He thought it was a joke. + +"Anna, this is not a pizza. This is a crumb. You ordered the wrong thing. You wasted your money. You were foolish." Ben said. + +Anna felt sad. She realized she had made a mistake. She did not know what to do. She started to cry. + +"I'm sorry, Ben. I didn't know. I thought it was a big pizza. I wanted to make you happy. Please don't be mad at me." Anna said. + +Ben saw her tears. He felt sorry for her. He hugged her and said it was okay. + +"It's okay, Anna. I'm not mad at you. You tried your best. You were not foolish. You were brave. We can still play with our cars. And we can have something else for lunch. Maybe a sandwich. Or a cookie. Or both." Ben said. + +Anna smiled. She felt better. She thanked Ben and said he was a good brother. They put the inch pizza aside and played with their cars. They had fun. They forgot about the pizza. They were happy. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toy cars in the garden. They liked to make them zoom and crash on the grass. But one of their cars was very old and broken. It was black and had no wheels or windows. Lily and Ben did not like it very much. + +"Can we throw this car away?" Ben asked. "It is ugly and useless." + +"No, we can't," Lily said. "It was grandpa's car when he was little. He gave it to me and said it was charming. He said we can restore it and make it new again." + +"How can we do that?" Ben wondered. + +Lily thought for a moment. She had an idea. She ran inside the house and came back with some things. She had a glue, a scissors, some paper and some crayons. + +"Look, we can use these to fix the car," she said. "We can cut out some wheels and windows from the paper and glue them on. We can also draw some lights and stickers with the crayons. Then the car will look pretty and fun." + +Ben liked the idea. He helped Lily with the cutting and gluing and drawing. They worked hard and carefully. Soon, the black car looked very different. It had colorful wheels and windows and lights and stickers. It looked charming and new. + +Lily and Ben were very happy. They showed their restored car to grandpa. He smiled and hugged them. + +"You did a wonderful job, my dears," he said. "You made the car look even more charming than before. I'm very proud of you." +Lila likes to watch her grandma cook. Grandma makes yummy things with eggs, cheese, bread, and fruit. Sometimes, she lets Lila help her stir, pour, or cut. Lila feels happy and proud when she helps. + +One day, Grandma has a big bag of prunes. Prunes are dried plums that are wrinkly and sweet. Grandma says she will make prune cake for dessert. Lila wants to try a prune, but Grandma says no. She says prunes are not good for little girls. They can make them sick or have a tummy ache. + +Lila is curious and hungry. She sees the bag of prunes on the table. Grandma is busy in the other room. Lila thinks maybe one prune will not hurt. She reaches for the bag and takes a prune. She puts it in her mouth and bites. It is sticky and chewy and sweet. She likes it. She takes another one. And another one. She does not stop. + +Soon, the bag is empty. Lila feels full and sleepy. She lies down on the couch and closes her eyes. She does not hear Grandma come back. Grandma sees the empty bag and the crumbs on the table. She sees Lila on the couch. She knows what happened. She is angry and worried. + +She wakes up Lila and asks her what she did. Lila opens her eyes and feels sick. She says she ate the prunes. She says she is sorry. Grandma scolds her and says she was naughty and disobedient. She says she has to go to the doctor. Lila cries and says she will never eat prunes again. She says she will be good and listen to Grandma. Grandma hugs her and says she loves her. She says they will go to the doctor and then come back and have some cake. But not prune cake. +Sara and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to pretend they were explorers, looking for ancient things. They had a map and a shovel and a bag. + +"Look, Tom, I found something shiny!" Sara said, digging in the sand. She pulled out a small, round jewel. It was blue and sparkled in the sun. + +"Wow, Sara, that's a beautiful jewel! Where did it come from?" Tom asked, admiring it. + +"Maybe it belonged to a princess or a king long ago. Maybe they lost it or buried it here. Maybe it has magic powers!" Sara said, making up stories. + +"Can I hold it, Sara? Please?" Tom asked, reaching for the jewel. + +"OK, but be careful. Don't drop it or lose it. It's very precious," Sara said, handing him the jewel. + +Tom held the jewel in his hand. He felt a warm and happy feeling in his chest. He looked at Sara and smiled. + +"Sara, you're my best friend. You're very nice and smart and brave. I like playing with you," Tom said, feeling shy. + +"Thank you, Tom. You're my best friend too. You're very funny and kind and strong. I like playing with you too," Sara said, feeling shy too. + +They looked at each other and leaned closer. They gave each other a gentle kiss on the cheek. They felt a tingling sensation on their lips. They giggled and hugged. + +The jewel glowed softly in Tom's hand. It was a magic jewel. It made them feel love and happiness. They didn't know it, but they had just found the most ancient and powerful treasure in the world. +Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to imagine they were animals. Tom was a lion and Lily was a zebra. They ran and jumped and chased each other. + +But then Tom tripped on a rock and fell down. He hurt his knee and it was bleeding. He felt a lot of pain and started to cry. Lily stopped playing and ran to him. She was worried about her brother. + +She hugged him and said, "It's okay, Tom. I'm here. You are a brave lion. The pain will go away soon." She helped him get up and took him to their mom. Mom cleaned his wound and put a band-aid on it. She gave him a kiss and a cookie. + +Tom smiled and said, "Thank you, Lily. Thank you, Mom. You are both very kind." He felt better and hugged them back. He still wanted to play, but he was more careful. He and Lily imagined they were birds and flew around the garden. They were playful and happy. +Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They saw a big tree with red fruit on it. They wanted to pick some fruit and eat it. + +"Let's climb the tree and get some fruit," Tom said. + +"I'm scared of the tree. It's too high and the branches are too thin," Lily said. + +"Don't be scared. I'll go first and show you how. It's easy and fun," Tom said. + +Tom climbed the tree and reached for a fruit. He pulled it and it came off. He smiled and held it in his hand. He looked down at Lily and said, "See? I got a fruit. Come on, Lily. You can do it too." + +Lily looked up at Tom and the fruit. She wanted to try, but she was still scared. She put her foot on the lowest branch and tried to lift herself up. But the branch shook and she felt dizzy. She let go and fell on the grass. She started to cry. + +Tom heard Lily cry and looked down. He saw her on the ground, sobbing. He felt sorry for her and wanted to help her. He threw the fruit down and said, "Here, Lily. You can have my fruit. I'll come down and hug you." + +He climbed down the tree and ran to Lily. He gave her the fruit and hugged her. He said, "Don't cry, Lily. It's okay. You don't have to climb the tree if you don't want to. You can still have fruit. I'll share with you." + +Lily stopped crying and looked at the fruit. She smiled and said, "Thank you, Tom. You're a good brother. I'm sorry I was scared." + +"It's okay, Lily. I'm sorry I pushed you. You're a good sister. I'm glad you're happy," Tom said. + +They both bit into the fruit and tasted the sweet juice. They laughed and hugged each other. They were ready to play some more. +Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play with their toys. Tim had a big hammer that he used to bang on things. Sam wanted to try the hammer, but Tim did not allow him. He said, "No, Sam, this is my hammer. You are too small to use it. You might hurt yourself or break something." + +Sam was sad and angry. He thought Tim was mean and selfish. He waited until Tim was busy with something else, and then he sneaked into his room and took the hammer. He ran outside and looked for something to hit. He saw a big rock and thought it would be fun to smash it. + +He lifted the hammer and swung it hard at the rock. But the rock was too hard and the hammer bounced back and hit Sam on the head. Sam cried out in pain and dropped the hammer. He felt blood on his forehead and ran back to the house. + +Tim heard Sam's cry and saw him running with the hammer. He knew what had happened and felt sorry for Sam. He ran after him and said, "Sam, Sam, are you okay? I'm sorry I did not allow you to use my hammer. It was not nice of me. But you should not have taken it without asking. It is dangerous. Let me see your wound." + +He took Sam to the bathroom and cleaned his cut with water and a cloth. He put a band-aid on it and gave him a hug. He said, "Sam, I love you. You are my brother. You can use my hammer sometimes, but only when I am with you and we are careful. Okay?" + +Sam nodded and hugged Tim back. He said, "I love you too, Tim. You are my brother. You have a brilliant hammer, but it is not worth getting hurt. I'm sorry I took it without asking. Can we still play together?" + +Tim smiled and said, "Of course we can. Come on, let's go outside and find something else to do. Maybe we can build something with the hammer and some wood. But first, let's put the hammer back in my room. Okay?" + +Sam agreed and they went to put the hammer away. They learned their lesson and played nicely together. They were happy and had fun. +Lila and Tom are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, they find a big map in the attic. The map has many colors and pictures. Lila and Tom want to see the map. + +But the map is too big for them. They try to pull the map out of the box. Lila pulls one side and Tom pulls the other side. The map does not move. Lila and Tom pull harder and harder. The map rips in the middle. Lila and Tom are sad and angry. + +They start to yell at each other. "You pulled too hard!" Lila says. "No, you pulled too hard!" Tom says. They do not want to be friends anymore. They sit on the floor and cry. + +Mom hears the noise and comes to the attic. She sees the ripped map and the sad children. She hugs them and says, "It's okay. The map is old and fragile. It's not your fault. You are both intelligent and curious. You wanted to learn about the world. That's a good thing." + +She helps them tape the map together. She shows them some of the places and animals on the map. She tells them stories and facts. Lila and Tom listen and smile. They say sorry to each other. They hug and say, "We are still friends. We can share the map and learn together." Mom smiles and says, "I'm proud of you." They have fun with the map. +Lily and Ben were playing in the grass. They liked to run and jump and roll on the green grass. They saw some flowers and bugs and birds. They were having fun. + +But then they heard their mom call them. "Lily, Ben, time to go home!" she said. "We have to get ready for dinner." + +Lily and Ben did not want to go home. They wanted to play more. They had a brilliant idea. They hid behind a big tree and did not answer. + +Their mom looked for them. She called their names again and again. She was worried and angry. She walked around the tree and saw them. + +"Lily, Ben, what are you doing?" she asked. "Why did you not come when I called you?" + +Lily and Ben looked at each other. They knew they were in trouble. They tried to make an excuse. + +"We were playing hide and seek, mom," Lily said. + +"We wanted to delay going home, mom," Ben said. + +Their mom shook her head. She was not happy. She took their hands and led them to the car. + +"You should not delay when I call you," she said. "It is not safe or polite. You have to listen to me. Now we are late for dinner." + +Lily and Ben felt sorry. They said sorry to their mom. They learned their lesson. They did not delay again. +Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play in the park. They see a big slide. Tom wants to go first. He runs to the slide and climbs up. Sam follows him. + +"Wait for me, Tom!" Sam says. + +But Tom does not wait. He slides down very fast. He feels happy. He makes a loud noise. He roars like a lion. + +"Roar! I am the king of the slide!" Tom says. + +Sam is angry. He slides down too. He wants to roar as well. But when he opens his mouth, he does not roar. He coughs. He coughs a lot. He feels something bad in his throat. He tastes dirt. + +"Yuck! What is this?" Sam says. + +Tom laughs. He points at Sam. He sees dirt on Sam's face and clothes. + +"You ate dirt, Sam! You are not a lion, you are a pig!" Tom says. + +Sam feels sad. He feels ashamed. He does not like dirt. He does not like Tom's laugh. He runs to his mom. He cries. + +"Mom, Tom is mean! He made me eat dirt!" Sam says. + +Mom hugs Sam. She wipes his face and clothes. She gives him some water. + +"It's okay, Sam. You are not a pig. You are a brave boy. Tom did not make you eat dirt. It was an accident. The slide was dirty. Maybe Tom did not see it." Mom says. + +She looks at Tom. Tom stops laughing. He feels sorry. He knows he was mean. He goes to Sam and Mom. + +"I'm sorry, Sam. I did not mean to hurt you. I was just having fun. You are not a pig. You are my brother. Can we still play?" Tom says. + +Sam looks at Tom. He sees Tom's sorry face. He feels better. He forgives Tom. + +"It's okay, Tom. I'm sorry too. I was angry. You are not a mean. You are my brother. Yes, we can still play." Sam says. + +Mom smiles. She is proud of her boys. They hug each other. They go to play again. They find a clean slide. They slide down together. They roar like lions. They have fun. +Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big dog. The dog is brown and furry. It has a collar and a leash. + +"Can we pet the dog?" Sara asks Tom. + +"I don't know. Maybe we should ask the owner first," Tom says. + +They look around and see a man sitting on a bench. He is reading a book. He does not see the dog or the kids. + +"Hello, mister," Sara says. "Can we pet your dog?" + +The man looks up and smiles. He sees the dog and the kids. + +"Sure, you can pet him. His name is Rex. He is very friendly and gentle. But be careful, he is also very strong and tough. He can pull you with his leash if he wants to," the man says. + +Sara and Tom nod. They walk towards the dog. The dog wags his tail and licks their faces. They giggle and stroke his fur. + +"Can I hold his leash?" Sara asks. + +"Okay, but hold it tight. And don't let him lead you. You have to lead him," the man says. + +He gives Sara the leash. Sara wraps it around her waist. She feels the dog's power. + +"Come on, Rex. Let's go this way," Sara says. + +She tries to pull the dog to the left. But the dog wants to go to the right. He tugs on the leash. Sara loses her balance. She falls to the ground. + +"Ouch!" Sara says. + +Tom runs to help her. He grabs the leash. He tries to stop the dog. But the dog is too tough. He drags Tom along. + +"Help!" Tom says. + +The man hears them. He puts down his book. He runs to the dog. He takes the leash. He calms the dog. + +"Are you okay, kids?" the man asks. + +Sara and Tom nod. They are scared and hurt. But they are also brave. + +"Sorry, mister. We didn't mean to make trouble," Sara says. + +"It's okay, kids. It's not your fault. Rex is a good dog, but he is also a big dog. He doesn't know his own strength. You have to be careful with him. He needs a lot of training and love," the man says. + +He hugs the dog. He gives the kids a band-aid and a candy. + +"Thank you, mister. And thank you, Rex. You are a nice dog. But maybe next time, we will just wave at you," Tom says. + +Sara and Tom smile. They wave at the man and the dog. They go back to their parents. They tell them what happened. They learn a lesson. They have a new story to tell. +Tim and Mia were playing in the living room. They liked to build forts with the cushions from the sofa and the chairs. They used a white sheet to cover their fort and make it cozy. + +"Look at our fort, it's so big and nice!" Mia said. + +"Yes, it is. But we need more cushions to make it stronger," Tim said. + +He saw a big cushion on the armchair. It was red and soft. He wanted to take it for their fort. + +"Hey, that's my cushion!" said a voice. It was Ben, Mia's older brother. He was sitting on the armchair, reading a book. + +"No, it's not. It's ours now. We need it for our fort," Tim said. + +He grabbed the cushion and ran to the fort. Ben got angry and chased him. + +"Give it back, you little thief!" Ben shouted. + +He reached the fort and pulled the sheet. The fort collapsed and the cushions fell on Tim and Mia. They cried and got hurt. + +"Look what you did! You ruined our fort and our fun!" Mia said. + +"You started it! You took my cushion without asking!" Ben said. + +They started to fight and yell. Their mom heard the noise and came to the living room. + +"What's going on here? Why are you fighting?" she asked. + +They told her what happened. She was not happy. + +"You all behaved very badly. Tim, you should not take things that are not yours. Ben, you should not be so mean and violent. Mia, you should not mention the white sheet. It's dirty and has holes. You should have asked me before using it. Now you have to clean up this mess and say sorry to each other," she said. + +She made them pick up the cushions and the sheet and put them back where they belonged. Then she made them hug and apologize. They felt ashamed and sad. + +The moral of the story is: You should respect other people's things and feelings. You should share and play nicely. You should ask before using something that is not yours. You should not mention the white sheet. It's dirty and has holes. +Lily and Ben liked to bounce on the big bed. They jumped up and down and made funny noises. Mommy said they had to stop or they would break the bed. But Lily and Ben did not listen. They were naughty. + +One day, they found a book with a picture of a rhinoceros. It was a big animal with a horn on its nose. Lily and Ben thought it looked funny. They decided to pretend to be rhinoceroses and bounce on the bed. + +"Roar!" said Lily, as she bounced on the pillow. "I am a rhinoceros and I can do what I want!" + +"Roar!" said Ben, as he bounced on the blanket. "I am a rhinoceros too and I can do what I want!" + +They bounced and bounced and bounced. They did not hear Mommy coming up the stairs. They did not see the bed start to crack. They did not notice the horn on the wall. + +Crash! The bed broke and Lily and Ben fell to the floor. The horn on the wall fell too and landed on the bed. It made a big hole in the pillow. + +Mommy came into the room and saw the mess. She was very angry. She scolded Lily and Ben for being naughty and breaking the bed. She told them they had to clean up and say sorry. + +Lily and Ben felt bad. They said sorry to Mommy and helped her clean up. They learned their lesson. They never bounced on the bed again. They never pretended to be rhinoceroses again. They were good. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys and books. They are very intelligent. They know many words and colors and shapes. + +One day, they go to the farm with their mom and dad. They see many animals. They see cows and pigs and chickens and horses. They also see a big turkey. The turkey is brown and has a red thing on its head. + +"Hello, turkey!" Anna says. "What is your name?" + +"Gobble, gobble!" the turkey says. + +"His name is Gobble," Ben says. "He can talk!" + +"No, he can't," Anna says. "He just makes noises." + +They laugh and pet the turkey. The turkey likes them. He follows them around the farm. + +They go to the barn and see some hay. They decide to make a nest for the turkey. They use some hay and some feathers and some sticks. They make a cozy nest. + +"Look, Gobble, we made you a nest!" Anna says. "Do you like it?" + +"Gobble, gobble!" the turkey says. He jumps into the nest and flaps his wings. + +They play with the turkey for a while. They pretend he is a baby and they are his parents. They feed him some corn and some water. They sing him a song. + +But then, they hear their mom calling them. + +"Anna! Ben! It's time to go home!" she says. + +They run to their mom. They hug her and tell her about the turkey. + +"Can we take him home?" Ben asks. + +"No, sweetie, he belongs to the farm," mom says. "But you can say goodbye to him." + +They go back to the barn. But they can't find the turkey. They look everywhere. They look in the nest, in the hay, in the stalls, in the corners. They can't see him. + +"Where is Gobble?" Anna asks. "We lost him!" + +They feel sad. They want to see their friend again. They call his name. + +"Gobble! Gobble! Where are you?" + +Suddenly, they hear a noise. They look up. They see the turkey on the roof. He is looking at them and making noises. + +"Gobble, gobble!" he says. + +"There he is!" Ben says. "He is on the roof!" + +"How did he get there?" Anna asks. + +"Maybe he flew," Ben says. "He is very intelligent." + +They wave at the turkey. The turkey waves back. They smile and say goodbye. + +"Bye, Gobble! We will miss you!" they say. + +"Gobble, gobble!" the turkey says. + +They leave the farm with their mom and dad. They talk about the turkey all the way home. They hope to see him again someday. They think he is the best turkey in the world. +Lily and Ben loved to play with their toys. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big panda. The panda was soft and cuddly, and they named him Puff. They took Puff everywhere, and shared him nicely. + +One day, they went to the park with their mom. They brought Puff along, and played with him on the swings, the slide, and the sandbox. They had a lot of fun, and Puff was happy too. But then, it was time to go home. Lily and Ben ran to their mom, but they forgot to take Puff with them. + +When they got home, they looked for Puff, but they could not find him. They felt sad and scared. Where was Puff? Did he disappear? They asked their mom, but she did not know. She said they had to go back to the park and look for him. + +They got in the car and drove back to the park. They searched everywhere, but they could not see Puff. They started to cry. They thought they lost Puff forever. But then, they heard a voice. It was Puff! He was in the arms of a little girl, who was smiling and hugging him. She saw Lily and Ben, and said, "Hi, I found your panda. He was alone and lonely. I wanted to play with him, but I will give him back to you. He is your panda, and you love him." + +Lily and Ben were so happy. They thanked the little girl, and took Puff back. They hugged him and said sorry. They learned a lesson. They learned to take care of their toys, and not to leave them behind. They also learned to be kind and grateful to others, who help them when they need it. They were good children, and Puff was a good panda. They went home, and played with Puff some more. They never forgot him again. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to go to the museum with their mom. They saw many things that were old and new, big and small, shiny and dull. They liked to look and learn, but they also liked to touch and play. + +One day, they saw a big glass ball that had many colors inside. It looked like a rainbow. Ben and Lily wanted to touch it and see how it felt. They did not listen to their mom, who said, "No, do not touch. It is not a toy. It is very old and can break." + +They waited until their mom was looking at something else, and then they ran to the glass ball. They reached out their hands and tried to grab it. But the glass ball was too heavy and slippery. It fell from their hands and hit the floor. It broke into many pieces. The pieces made a loud noise and cut their fingers. Ben and Lily cried. + +Their mom heard the noise and came to see what happened. She saw the broken glass ball and the blood on their fingers. She was very angry and sad. She said, "You did a bad thing. You did not listen to me. You broke something that was very old and precious. You hurt yourself and others. You have to say sorry and pay for the damage." + +Ben and Lily felt very sorry and ashamed. They said sorry to their mom and to the museum people. They gave some of their money to help fix the glass ball. They learned a lesson. They learned to listen to their mom and to respect the things in the museum. They learned that touching is not always good and that breaking is bad. They were lucky that they did not hurt themselves more or get into more trouble. They promised to be more careful and obedient next time. +One day, a boy and a girl 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, like shells, fish, and birds. + +The boy found a crab in a hole. He wanted to catch it and show it to his sister. He put his hand in the hole and tried to grab the crab. But the crab was not happy. It pinched the boy's finger with its claw. The boy cried out loud. + +"Ow, ow, ow! The crab bit me!" he said. + +His sister ran to him and saw his finger. It was red and hurt. She felt sorry for him. + +"Are you okay, brother?" she asked. + +"No, it hurts a lot. The crab is mean and bad," he said. + +Their mom and dad heard them and came to see what happened. They saw the crab in the hole and the boy's finger. + +"Let me see, son. It's not a big wound, but we need to wash it and put a band-aid on it," their dad said. + +He took the boy to the water and cleaned his finger. Then he put a band-aid on it and gave him a hug. + +"Why did you try to catch the crab, son?" he asked. + +"I wanted to show it to sister. It looked cool and funny," the boy said. + +"Well, son, you need to be careful with animals. They are not toys. They have feelings and they can get scared or angry. The crab was not mean or bad. It was just defending itself. You should not bother it or hurt it. You should respect it and leave it alone," their dad said. + +The boy looked at the crab in the hole. He felt sorry for it too. + +"I'm sorry, crab. I didn't mean to make you scared or angry. I won't bother you again. You can stay in your hole and be happy," he said. + +The crab heard him and waved its claw. It looked like it was saying thank you. + +The boy smiled and waved back. He learned a lesson that day. He learned to be kind and gentle to animals. He learned to be more careful and respectful. He learned to be a good friend to the crab. +Lily and Ben are twins.

Lie down on the bed." + +"OK, Lily, I will be your patient." Ben says. He lies down on the bed. He pretends to be sick. He coughs and sneezes. "Doctor, I don't feel well. What is wrong with me?" + +Lily puts the stethoscope on Ben's chest. She listens to his heart. She looks at his eyes and his ears. She opens his mouth and says "Ahh". She takes a thermometer from the bag and puts it under his tongue. She waits for a minute and then looks at the thermometer. She frowns. + +"Oh, no, Ben, you have a fever. You are very hot. You need to go to the hospital." Lily says. She takes the thermometer out of his mouth. She puts it back in the bag. She helps Ben get up from the bed. "Come on, Ben, we have to hurry. The hospital is far away." + +They walk out of their room. They go down the stairs. They see their mom in the kitchen. She is making lunch. She sees them and smiles. + +"Hello, Lily and Ben. What are you doing?" She asks. She notices their clothes and their bag. She laughs. "Are you playing doctor?" + +"Yes, mom, we are playing doctor. But Ben is very sick. He has a fever. We have to go to the hospital." Lily says. She holds Ben's hand. She looks worried. + +Mom hugs them and kisses them. She says "Don't worry, Lily and Ben. Ben is not really sick. He is just pretending. You don't have to go to the hospital. You can stay here and have lunch. I made your favorite soup. It will make you feel better." + +Lily and Ben look at each other. They realize they were just playing. They smile and say "OK, mom, we will stay here and have lunch. Thank you for the soup. We love you." + +They take off their hat and coat.

When Mom and Dad say good night and turn off the light, they wait for a little bit. Then they take out their toys and start to play quietly. + +They have a lot of fun. They make cars and dolls and animals. They whisper and giggle. They do not hear Mom and Dad coming back to check on them. + +Mom and Dad open the door and turn on the light. They see Sara and Ben with their toys. They are not happy. They say, "Sara and Ben, what are you doing? You are supposed to be sleeping. It is very late. You need to rest. Put away your toys and go to sleep now." + +Sara and Ben are scared. They drop their toys on the floor. The toys make a loud noise. They say, "Sorry, Mom and Dad. We just wanted to play a little more. We are not sleepy. Please do not be mad." + +Mom and Dad sigh. They say, "We are not mad, but we are disappointed. You know the rules. Playing is for the day, sleeping is for the night. You need to sleep to grow and learn and be healthy. And you need to listen to us and follow the rules. Now, pick up your toys and put them back in the box. Then, get into your beds and close your eyes. We will tuck you in and give you a kiss. And no more playing, okay?" + +Sara and Ben nod.

They say, "We love you, Sara and Ben. Good night. Sweet dreams." + +Sara and Ben say, "We love you, Mom and Dad. Good night. Sweet dreams." They hug their pillows and fall asleep. They are tired.

They try to make a rhythm, a pattern of sounds that goes fast and slow. + +One day, they play music in the park. They see a big tree with many birds. The birds sing along with their music. Tom and Mia are happy. They think the birds are their friends. + +"Hello, birds!" Tom says. "Do you like our music?" + +"Tweet, tweet, tweet!" the birds answer. + +Mia notices something. She sees a cat hiding behind a bush. The cat is watching the birds. The cat is hungry. The cat wants to catch the birds. + +"Mia, look!" Tom says. "A cat!" + +Mia sees the cat too. She is scared. She thinks the cat will hurt the birds. + +"Tom, we have to help the birds!" Mia says. "We have to make the cat go away!" + +"How?" Tom asks. + +Mia has an idea. She picks up the bell. She shakes it hard. The bell makes a loud noise. The noise scares the cat. The cat runs away. + +"Yay, we did it!" Mia says. + +"Tweet, tweet, tweet!" the birds say. They thank Tom and Mia for saving them. + +Tom and Mia smile. They are happy. They play music with the birds again. They make a rhythm, a pattern of sounds that goes fast and slow. +Anna and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park and look for treasure. One day, they found a shiny stone in the grass. It was red and sparkly. + +"Wow, look at this!" Anna said. "It is so pretty. Can I keep it?" + +"No, I want it!" Ben said. "I saw it first.

He thought it was fun to make others sad and angry. + +One day, he saw a pig on the farm. The pig was big and pink and had a curly tail. Tom wanted to play with the pig, but not in a nice way.

The pig ran into the barn, where the farmer was fixing his tractor. + +"Stop, Tom!" the farmer shouted. "Leave the pig alone! He is my friend, and you are being mean!" + +But Tom did not listen. He followed the pig into the barn, and saw the tractor. The tractor was shiny and red, and had a big wheel and a loud horn. Tom wanted to ride the tractor, but he did not know how. He climbed on the seat, and pushed the buttons. He made the tractor start, and it moved forward. + +"Tom, get off the tractor!" the farmer yelled. "You don't know what you are doing! You will break the tractor, and hurt yourself and the pig!" + +But Tom did not listen. He thought he was smart, and he wanted to have fun. He pushed the horn, and it made a loud noise. He turned the wheel, and it made the tractor swerve. He hit the gas, and it made the tractor go faster. + +The pig was scared, and ran out of the barn.

Does it hurt?" + +The man laughed and said, "No, it doesn't hurt. It's just how I am. Some people have hair, some people don't. It's not soft or cold. It's just skin." + +Lila touched his head gently. She felt his skin. She said, "It's smooth. It's like a peach. Can I touch your shoulder too?" + +The man said, "Okay, you can touch my shoulder. But why do you want to do that?" + +Lila said, "Because I want to see if it's the same as your head. Is it smooth too?" + +The man said, "No, it's not smooth. It's rough. It has a scar. I got it when I was a boy. I fell off my bike and hurt my shoulder." + +Lila looked at his scar. She said, "Oh, I'm sorry. That must have hurt. Does it hurt now?" + +The man said, "No, it doesn't hurt now. It healed a long time ago. But it left a mark. It's part of my story." + +Lila said, "I see. You have a story on your shoulder. And you have a story on your head. You are very interesting, mister. Thank you for letting me examine you." + +The man said, "You're welcome, little girl. You are very curious and polite. Thank you for talking to me." + +Lila said, "You're welcome, mister. Goodbye." + +The man said, "Goodbye, Lila. Have a nice day." + +Lila waved and ran back to her mom.

He picks up his plane and runs away. + +Lily is sad and hurt by Tom's words. She hugs her doll and says, "Don't worry, my doll. You are not weak and boring. You are my best friend. I love you." She smiles and sings a song with her doll. She does not need Tom or his plane to be happy. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play hide and seek. One day, they play in the park. It is a modern park, with slides and swings and a big fountain. Lily and Ben take turns to hide and seek. + +Lily hides behind a tree. She waits for Ben to find her. She hears Ben's voice. He says, "Lily, where are you? I can't see you." Lily giggles. She thinks she is very good at hiding. + +But then, she feels something wet on her head. She looks up. It is raining. The sky is dark and cloudy. Lily is scared. She does not like rain. She cries, "Ben, Ben, help me! I don't like rain!" + +Ben hears Lily's cry. He runs to the tree. He sees Lily. She is wet and sad. He hugs her. He says, "Don't cry, Lily. Rain is not bad. Rain is part of the season. Sometimes it is sunny, sometimes it is rainy. Rain makes the flowers grow and the birds sing. Rain is fun. Come, let's play in the puddles." + +Lily listens to Ben. She wipes her tears. She smiles. She says, "You are right, Ben. Rain is not bad. Rain is fun. Thank you for finding me. You are a good brother." She hugs him back. + +They play in the puddles. They splash and laugh. They enjoy the rain. They learn to love the season. They are happy. +Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. They lived in a big house near a valley. The valley had many trees and flowers and animals. Anna and Ben wanted to explore the valley, but their mom said no. She said the valley was too far and too dangerous for them. She said they could play in the yard, but not in the valley. + +Anna and Ben did not understand why their mom said no. They thought the valley looked fun and pretty. They wanted to see the animals and smell the flowers. They thought their mom was too careful and boring. One day, when their mom was busy, they decided to sneak out and go to the valley. They took their backpacks and their snacks and ran to the valley. + +They had a lot of fun in the valley. They saw rabbits and birds and butterflies. They picked some flowers and ate some berries. They laughed and sang and danced. They did not see the sign that said "Beware of the bear". They did not hear the growl that came from the cave. They did not notice the shadow that followed them. + +"Anna, Ben, where are you?" their mom called. She had finished her work and looked for them in the yard. She did not see them or their backpacks. She felt worried and scared. She ran to the valley and looked for them. She saw the sign and the cave and the shadow. She screamed and ran to save them. + +The bear was big and angry. It saw Anna and Ben and wanted to eat them. It chased them and roared at them. Anna and Ben were very afraid. They realized they had been careless and foolish. They wished they had listened to their mom. They cried and called for her. + +Their mom arrived just in time. She had a stick and a whistle. She hit the bear with the stick and blew the whistle. The noise scared the bear and it ran away. Their mom hugged Anna and Ben and took them home. She was very angry and sad. She scolded them and told them they had been very naughty and lucky. She said they could not play outside for a week. She said they had to learn to understand and obey her. + +Anna and Ben felt sorry and ashamed. They said they were sorry and they loved her. They said they would never go to the valley again. They said they would understand and obey her. They hugged their mom and thanked her for saving them. They learned their lesson and never forgot it. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with trains. They have many trains of different colors and sizes. They make tracks on the floor and push the trains along. + +One day, Tom and Sam are playing with trains in Tom's room. They are having fun and making train noises.

We do not want to clean up. We do not want to eat." + +Tom's mom is calm and kind. She says, "I am sorry I broke your track. It was an accident. I did not see it. I am not mean. I love you. You have to clean up because it is the right thing to do. You have to eat because you are hungry. You can play with your trains again after lunch. Everything will be fine." + +Tom and Sam are still sad and angry, but they listen to Tom's mom. They pick up their trains and their track and put them in a box. They say, "We are sorry, too. We did not mean to yell. We love you, too. We are hungry. We will eat." + +Tom's mom smiles and hugs them. She says, "That's good. I am proud of you. You are good boys.

Can you two give me a massage?" Anna and Ben are curious. They do not know what a massage is. They ask, "What is a massage, mom?" + +Mom says, "A massage is when you rub someone's back or shoulders gently with your hands. It can make them feel better and relaxed. Do you want to try?" + +Anna and Ben nod. They want to try. They climb on the couch behind mom. They use their small hands to rub mom's back. Mom says, "That feels nice. Thank you, my sweeties." + +Anna and Ben are happy. They like to make mom feel nice. They also like to learn new things. They ask, "Can we learn more things, mom?" + +Mom says, "Of course. There are many things you can learn. But first, let's stretch a little. Stretching is when you move your arms and legs and body in different ways. It can make you feel more awake and strong. Do you want to stretch with me?" + +Anna and Ben nod. They want to stretch with mom. They get off the couch and stand on the floor. They follow mom's movements. They reach up to the sky. They touch their toes. They twist their hips. They bend their knees. They giggle and have fun. + +Mom says, "You are doing great. Stretching is good for you. It can also help you grow taller and healthier. Do you want to grow taller and healthier?" + +Anna and Ben nod. They want to grow taller and healthier. They say, "We love you, mom. You are the best teacher." + +Mom says, "I love you too, Anna and Ben. You are the best students." She hugs them and kisses them. They hug and kiss her back.

Tim and Jen are happy. They are good actors. +Tim and Ben were best friends. They liked to play with toy soldiers and pretend they were in a war. They had a big box of soldiers and two forts made of cardboard. They always told each other they were loyal and would never fight. + +One day, Tim found a new soldier in the box. It was shiny and had a big gun. Tim wanted to keep it for himself, but Ben saw it and said, "That's mine! I got it from my dad. Give it to me!" + +Tim said, "No, it's mine! I found it first. You have enough soldiers. Go away!" + +Ben said, "You're a liar and a thief! You're not my friend anymore. You're my enemy. I'll take it from you!" + +They started to fight over the soldier. They pulled and pushed and yelled. They knocked over the forts and the box. They threw soldiers at each other. They did not listen to their moms, who told them to stop and share. + +They fought until they were both hurt and crying. They broke the soldier and the forts and the box.

They had a lot of fun with their toys and books. + +One Wednesday, Lily came to Ben's house with a red nose and a big scarf. She said, "Hello, Ben. I have a cold.

Is that okay?" + +Ben said, "That's okay. I don't mind. You are my friend. And you are honest. You always tell me the truth." + +They went to Ben's room and played with his cars and dolls.

They have fun. The fat cat on the round swing is their new friend. +Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and look for bugs. Lily found a big beetle. It was shiny and black. She was happy and showed it to Tom. + +"Look, Tom, I found a beetle!" she said. + +Tom did not like beetles. He was scared of them. He thought they were ugly and creepy. He screamed and ran away. + +"Tom, don't scream! It's just a beetle!" Lily said. "It won't hurt you. It's a nice beetle." + +But Tom did not listen. He kept screaming and ran into the house. He slammed the door behind him. + +Lily was sad and angry. She did not understand why Tom was so scared. She liked beetles. She thought they were interesting and pretty. She wanted to play with Tom and the beetle. + +She went to the door and knocked. She called for Tom. + +"Tom, please come out. I'm sorry I scared you. I won't show you the beetle anymore. Let's play something else." + +But Tom did not answer. He hid under his bed. He was still scared and mad. + +Lily waited for a long time. She felt lonely and bored. She wished Tom would come out and play with her. + +Then she saw a bird. It was a wise bird. It had a big beak and bright eyes. It landed on a branch near Lily. It looked at her and the beetle. + +"Hello, little girl," the bird said. "Why are you sad?" + +Lily was surprised. She did not know birds could talk. She told the bird what happened. + +"I see," the bird said. "You and your friend have different feelings about beetles. That's okay. Everyone has different feelings. But you should respect each other's feelings. Maybe you can find something you both like to play with." + +Lily thought about it. She nodded. She said thank you to the bird. She put the beetle back in the dirt. She hoped it would be happy. + +Then she went to the door again. She knocked and called for Tom. + +"Tom, I'm sorry I scared you with the beetle. I know you don't like beetles. I like beetles, but I like you more. Can we play something else? Maybe we can play with the ball or the blocks or the dolls. What do you want to play?" + +Tom heard Lily's voice. He felt sorry too. He knew Lily did not mean to scare him. He liked Lily, but he did not like beetles. He wanted to play with her, but not with beetles. + +He crawled out from under his bed. He opened the door. He saw Lily's smile. He smiled too. + +"Hi, Lily," he said. "I'm sorry I screamed and ran away. I know you like beetles. I don't like beetles, but I like you. Can we play something else? Maybe we can play with the ball or the blocks or the dolls. I want to play with you." + +Lily and Tom hugged. They were happy. They went to the garden. They played with the ball and the blocks and the dolls. They did not play with the beetles. They respected each other's feelings. They were good friends. The wise bird watched them and smiled. It flew away. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play outside with their bikes. They have red bikes with bells and baskets. They put their toys in the baskets and ride around the street. + +One day, they see a big hill at the end of the street. They want to go up the hill and see what is on the other side. They pedal hard and fast, but the hill is too steep. They get tired and stop halfway. + +"Let's go back," Ben says. "This is too hard." + +"No, let's keep going," Anna says. "I want to see what is on the other side. Maybe there is a park or a lake or a castle." + +Anna pushes her bike up the hill. Ben follows her, but he is not happy. He is tired and hot and thirsty. He wishes they had stayed on the flat street. + +They reach the top of the hill and look around. They see a big sign that says "No bikes allowed". They see a fence and a gate and a guard. They see a lot of cars and trucks and buses. They do not see a park or a lake or a castle. + +"This is not fun," Ben says. "This is a busy road. We can't play here. We have to go back." + +"I know," Anna says. "I'm sorry. I thought there would be something nice on the other side. Let's go back." + +They turn around and go down the hill. They are scared of the cars and trucks and buses. They ring their bells and stay on the side of the road. They wish they had never gone up the hill. + +They get back to their street and see their mom waiting for them. She is happy to see them. She gives them hugs and kisses and juice and cookies. She tells them they are brave and smart and good. + +They tell her about their adventure. They tell her about the hill and the sign and the road. They tell her they are sorry for going too far. + +She tells them it's okay. She tells them they learned something new. She tells them they can play on their street as much as they want. She tells them she loves them. + +They are happy. They are not tired anymore. They play with their bikes and their toys and their mom. They forget about the hill and the sign and the road. They have fun. +Lila and Tom were playing on the sand with their buckets and shovels. They liked to make castles and dig holes. They saw the big blue ocean in front of them, but they knew they had to stay away from it. Their mom had told them it was too deep and too cold for them. + +But Tom was curious. He wanted to see what was in the ocean. He saw some shiny fish and some white waves. He left his bucket and shovel and walked closer to the water. He did not hear Lila calling him to come back. + +Lila saw Tom getting too close to the ocean. She was scared. She ran after him and grabbed his hand. "Tom, no! The ocean is not for us! It is too big and too strong!" she said. + +But Tom did not listen. He pulled his hand away and ran into the water. He felt the wet and the cold on his feet and legs. He laughed and splashed. He did not see the big wave coming behind him. + +Lila saw the big wave and panicked. She screamed for Tom and for their mom. She did not know what to do. She was too small to help Tom. She felt helpless and sad. + +Their mom heard Lila's scream and saw the big wave. She was restless. She ran to the water and jumped in. She swam as fast as she could to Tom. She reached him just in time and lifted him up. She hugged him and carried him back to the sand. + +Lila ran to them and hugged them too. She was happy and relieved. She said, "Tom, you were very naughty. You could have been hurt by the ocean. You have to listen to me and mom. We love you and we want you to be safe." + +Tom was wet and cold and scared. He realized he had been foolish. He said, "I'm sorry, Lila. I'm sorry, mom. I just wanted to see the fish and the waves. I did not know the ocean was so dangerous. I love you too and I will not do it again." + +Their mom smiled and kissed them both. She said, "It's okay, Tom. I'm glad you are okay. But you have to be careful and obey the rules. The ocean is beautiful, but it is also powerful and unpredictable. We have to respect it and enjoy it from a distance." + +They all agreed and went back to their towels and snacks. They dried off and warmed up. They decided to play on the sand for the rest of the day. They did not go near the ocean again. They had learned their lesson. +Lily and Tom are playing hide and seek in the park. Lily is the seeker and Tom is the hider. Lily counts to ten and then opens her eyes. She decides to look for Tom behind the trees. She walks around the trees and says, "Tom, where are you?" + +Tom hears Lily and giggles. He is hiding under a slide. He thinks Lily will not find him there. He is very quiet and does not make any noise. He hopes Lily will go away and look somewhere else. + +Lily does not see Tom behind the trees. She decides to search for him near the swings. She runs to the swings and looks under them. She does not see Tom there either. She says, "Tom, are you here?" + +Tom hears Lily again and smiles. He is still hiding under the slide. He thinks Lily is not very good at seeking. He is very quiet and does not move. He waits for Lily to give up and say that he wins. + +Lily does not find Tom near the swings. She decides to search for him under the slides. She walks to the slides and bends down. She sees Tom's feet sticking out. She says, "Tom, I found you!" + +Tom hears Lily and jumps out. He says, "Oh no, you found me! How did you do that?" + +Lily says, "I saw your feet. You were not very good at hiding. I win!" + +Tom says, "No, you don't. You were too slow. I win!" + +Lily and Tom argue for a while. Then they decide to play again. They have fun in the park. +Lily liked to sing. She sang all the time. She sang in the morning, in the afternoon, and at night. She sang loud and high. She sang songs from the opera. The opera was a show with singing and music. Lily wanted to be a famous opera singer. + +One day, Lily's mom took her to see a real opera. Lily was very happy. She put on a pretty dress and a hat. She held her mom's hand and walked to the big theater. She saw many people in the theater. They all looked nice and excited. + +The opera started. Lily saw the singers on the stage. They wore costumes and makeup. They sang with a big orchestra. Lily enjoyed the opera very much. She clapped and cheered after every song. She wanted to join the singers on the stage. + +But not everyone enjoyed the opera. Some people in the theater did not like Lily's noise. They wanted to hear the opera quietly. They shushed Lily and told her to be quiet. Lily did not understand. She thought they were mean. She did not want to be quiet. She wanted to sing along. + +Lily decided to sing louder and louder. She sang over the opera singers. She sang her own songs. She sang so loud that everyone in the theater heard her. The opera singers heard her too. They stopped singing. They looked at Lily. They looked angry. + +The opera was ruined. The people in the theater booed and hissed. They threw things at Lily. They told her to go away. Lily's mom was very ashamed. She grabbed Lily and ran out of the theater. She scolded Lily and told her she was naughty. She said Lily could never see an opera again. + +Lily was very sad. She cried and cried. She did not understand why everyone was so mad at her. She only wanted to sing. She only wanted to enjoy the opera. She only wanted to be a famous opera singer. But now she had no friends, no opera, and no dream. +Lila was sad. She had a pain in her leg. She fell down from her bike and hurt herself. She did not want to ride her bike anymore. She cried and hugged her mom. + +Mom was kind. She kissed Lila's leg and put a band-aid on it. She said, "It's okay, Lila. You are brave. You can ride your bike again. I will help you. I will encourage you." + +Lila looked at her mom. She was scared. She said, "But mom, it hurts. And the bike is harsh. It makes me fall." + +Mom smiled. She said, "I know, Lila. But pain will go away soon. And the bike is not harsh. It is fun. It helps you go fast and see new things. You just need to practice. I will hold your bike and run with you. You will not fall. You will learn. You will enjoy." + +Lila nodded. She trusted her mom. She wiped her tears and got on her bike. Mom held her bike and ran with her. Lila pedaled and balanced. She felt the wind and the sun. She laughed and shouted, "I can do it, mom! I can ride my bike!" + +Mom was proud. She let go of the bike and clapped her hands. She said, "You did it, Lila! You are amazing! You are a bike rider!" + +Lila was happy. She had no pain in her leg. She loved her bike and her mom. She said, "Thank you, mom. You are the best. You encourage me." +Lily and Ben are playing hide and seek in the garden. Lily is the seeker and Ben is the hider. Lily counts to ten and then opens her eyes. She looks around and tries to find Ben. + +She sees a long fence with flowers on it. She thinks Ben might be hiding behind it. She walks to the fence and smells the flowers. They smell nice, like perfume. She hears a giggle from behind the fence. She says, "I found you, Ben!" + +She peeks over the fence and sees Ben lying on the grass. He has a big smile on his face. He says, "You are good at searching, Lily. But you can't catch me!" He jumps up and runs away. + +Lily laughs and chases after him. She says, "Yes, I can! You are not faster than me!" They run around the garden, having fun. They are happy and forget about the time. +Lily and Max were best friends. They liked to play in the park every day. They liked to swing, slide and run. But their favorite thing was to sit on the bench and talk. + +One day, Lily said to Max, "Do you know what marry means?" + +Max shook his head. He did not know. + +Lily said, "Marry means you love someone very much and you want to be with them always. You give them a ring and you say 'I do'. Then you are married." + +Max thought for a moment. He said, "Do you want to marry me, Lily?" + +Lily smiled. She said, "Yes, Max, I want to marry you. You are my best friend and I love you very much." + +They hugged each other. Then they looked for a ring. They found a shiny bottle cap on the ground. Max put it on Lily's finger. He said, "I do." + +Lily put it on Max's finger. She said, "I do." + +They kissed each other on the cheek. Then they sat on the bench and held hands. They were very happy. They were married. + +The park was quiet. The birds sang. The sun shone. Lily and Max did not notice. They only looked at each other and smiled. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. But their favorite thing was to throw balls. They had a big red ball and a small blue ball. They threw them high and far, and caught them with their hands. + +One day, they saw a new thing in the park. It was a big metal thing with a handle. It looked like a rocket. They wanted to try it. They ran to the thing and climbed inside. There were buttons and levers and a window. They pretended they were going to the moon. + +"Are you ready, Tom?" Lily asked. + +"Yes, I am, Lily," Tom said. + +They pushed the buttons and pulled the levers. They made noises like a rocket. "Three, two, one, blast off!" they shouted. + +But then, something bad happened. The thing started to shake and make loud noises. It was not a pretend rocket. It was a real rocket. It was going to fly away. + +Lily and Tom were scared. They wanted to get out. But the door was locked. They banged on the window and screamed for help. But no one heard them. + +They looked at each other. They had to do something. They had to be brave. + +Lily saw the big red ball on the floor. She had an idea. She picked it up and threw it at the handle. She threw it hard and fast. She hoped it would work. + +The ball hit the handle with a clang. The handle moved and the door opened. Lily and Tom jumped out of the rocket. They ran away as fast as they could. + +They were safe. They hugged each other and cried. They were happy they were brave. They never played with the rocket again. They only played with their balls. +Tom and Lily wanted to make a cake for Mom's birthday. They found a big bowl, some eggs, some flour, some sugar, and some butter in the kitchen. They put everything in the bowl and started to mix it with a spoon. + +But the butter was very hard and did not mix well. Tom and Lily tried to break it with their hands, but it was too slippery. They tried to cut it with a knife, but it was too dangerous. They tried to melt it in the microwave, but it was too hot. They made a big mess with the butter all over the bowl, the spoon, the knife, the microwave, and themselves. + +Mom came home and saw the messy kitchen and the messy children. She was not angry, but she was surprised. She asked them what they were doing. Tom and Lily said they wanted to make a cake for her birthday. They said they were sorry for the mess.

She looks so pretty!" Sara said. + +Tom looked at Sara's doll and frowned. He did not like bows. He thought they were silly and girly. He liked to put hats and glasses on his doll. He had many hats and glasses of different shapes and styles. + +"I don't like your bow. It is too harsh. It hurts your doll's head. My doll is better. He has a cool hat and glasses. He looks smart and fun!" Tom said. + +Sara felt sad and angry. She did not like Tom's words. She thought they were mean and rude. She liked her bow. She thought it was soft and cute. She did not care about Tom's hat and glasses. She thought they were boring and ugly. + +"No, your hat and glasses are too harsh. They make your doll look silly and old. My bow is better. It makes my doll look sweet and happy!" Sara said. + +Sara and Tom started to argue. They raised their voices and pulled their dolls. They did not want to share or play nicely. They wanted to prove that their dolls were better. + +"Stop! Stop!" their mom said. She heard their noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw their dolls and their faces. She was not happy. + +"Why are you fighting? Your dolls are both nice. They have different things that make them special. You don't have to put the same things on them. You can put what you like and let the other one put what they like. That is called being respectful and kind. Can you do that?" their mom said. + +Sara and Tom looked at their mom and then at each other. They felt sorry and ashamed. They knew their mom was right. They did not have to be harsh and mean. They could be gentle and nice. + +"Sorry, mom. Sorry, Sara. Sorry, Tom." they said. + +They hugged their mom and each other. They decided to put their dolls together and play with them.

They were happy. +Lily and Ben were friends. They liked to play in the park. They had a ball, a bike and a doll. They had fun. + +One day, they saw a big bottle of juice on a bench. It was red and shiny. They were thirsty. They wanted to drink the juice. + +"Let's drink the juice!" said Lily. "It looks yummy!" + +"No, Lily, we can't!" said Ben. "The juice is not ours. Someone else left it here. It is not nice to take things that are not ours." + +But Lily did not listen. She ran to the bench and grabbed the bottle. She opened it and drank some juice. It was sweet and sour. She liked it. + +"Come on, Ben, drink some juice!" she said. "It is funny!" + +Ben was scared. He did not want to drink the juice. He did not want to be bad. He shook his head. + +"No, Lily, I don't want to!" he said. "Please, put the bottle back. Maybe the owner will come back soon. Maybe they will be angry." + +But Lily did not listen. She drank more juice. She drank and drank. She drank too much. She felt sick. She felt dizzy. She felt bad. + +She dropped the bottle. The juice spilled on the ground. She fell on the grass. She cried. + +"Help, Ben, help!" she said. "I don't feel good. I want to go home. I want my mom." + +Ben was sad. He wanted to help Lily. He wanted to be a good friend. But he did not know what to do. He was afraid. + +He saw a man coming to the bench. The man looked angry. He saw the bottle. He saw the juice. He saw Lily and Ben. + +"Hey, you kids!" he said. "What did you do to my juice? That was my medicine! I need it for my health! How dare you drink it? How dare you waste it? You are bad! You are naughty! You are in trouble!" + +He grabbed the bottle. He grabbed Lily and Ben. He dragged them to his car. He locked them inside. He drove away. + +Lily and Ben were scared. They were sorry. They wished they had not drunk the juice. They wished they had listened to Ben. They wished they had peace. + +The moral of the story is: Do not take things that are not yours. Do not drink things that you do not know. Listen to your friends. Be good. Be nice. Be safe. +Tom and Mia liked to play on the beach. They made sand castles and dug holes. They also collected shells and stones. They had a big bucket full of them. + +One day, they saw a man with a table and a sign. The sign said "Sell things". The man had many things on his table. He had books, toys, hats, and more. Tom and Mia were curious. They went to the man. + +"Hello, little ones. Do you want to buy something?" the man asked. + +Tom and Mia looked at the things. They did not have money. They shook their heads. + +"Or do you want to sell something?" the man asked. + +Tom and Mia looked at their bucket. They had many shells and stones. They nodded. + +"OK, let me see what you have," the man said. He looked at their bucket. He picked up a shell. It was shiny and smooth. It had many colors. "This is a beautiful shell. Where did you find it?" he asked. + +Tom and Mia pointed to the ocean. The ocean was big and blue. It had waves and foam. It was powerful and loud. + +"Wow, you found it in the ocean? That is amazing. The ocean is full of treasures. Do you know what this shell is called?" the man asked. + +Tom and Mia shook their heads. They did not know. + +"This shell is called a conch. It is a special shell. If you put it to your ear, you can hear the sound of the ocean. Do you want to try?" the man asked. + +Tom and Mia nodded. They took turns to put the shell to their ears. They heard a soft and gentle sound. It was like the ocean was whispering to them. They smiled. + +"Do you like it?" the man asked. + +Tom and Mia nodded. They liked it very much. + +"Would you like to sell it to me? I will give you five dollars for it. You can buy something else with the money," the man offered. + +Tom and Mia looked at each other. They looked at the shell. They looked at the money. They did not want to sell the shell. They wanted to keep it. It was a gift from the ocean. It was their friend. + +They shook their heads. They said "No, thank you. We want to keep the shell. It is special to us." + +The man smiled. He said "I understand. It is a very special shell. You are lucky to have it. You can keep it. But maybe you want to sell some of the other shells or stones? I will give you one dollar for each." + +Tom and Mia looked at their bucket. They had many other shells and stones. They did not need all of them. They decided to sell some of them. They picked out the ones they liked the least. They gave them to the man. The man gave them money. They counted the money. They had ten dollars. + +They thanked the man. They said "Bye, bye". They went to look at the other things on the table. They saw a book with pictures of the ocean. They saw a toy boat that could float on the water. They saw a hat with a fish on it. They liked them all. They decided to buy them. They gave the money to the man. The man gave them the things. They thanked the man again. They said "Bye, bye" again. + +They went back to the beach. They played with their new things. They also played with their shell. They put it to their ears. They heard the sound of the ocean. They felt happy. They loved the ocean. They loved their shell. They loved each other. +Sara and Ben are playing with a ball in the park. Sara likes to be the boss. She tells Ben what to do with the ball. "Pass to me, Ben! Pass to me!" she shouts. Ben does not like to be told what to do. He wants to play his own way. He does not pass to Sara. He runs with the ball to the other side of the park. + +Sara is angry. She runs after Ben. She shouts louder. "Ben, stop! Give me the ball! Give me the ball!" Ben does not stop. He does not give Sara the ball. He sees a big slide. He wants to go on the slide. He throws the ball in the air and runs to the slide. + +Sara sees the ball in the air. She jumps to catch it. But she is too late. The ball lands on a dog. The dog is surprised. It barks at Sara. Sara is scared. She drops the ball and runs away. The dog picks up the ball and runs after Sara. + +Ben sees Sara and the dog. He feels sorry for Sara. He slides down the slide and runs to help her. He shouts at the dog. "Go away, dog! Leave Sara alone!" The dog hears Ben. It drops the ball and runs away. Ben picks up the ball and gives it to Sara. + +Sara is happy. She hugs Ben. She says sorry to Ben. "Sorry, Ben. I was too bossy. You can play with the ball your way." Ben smiles. He says thank you to Sara. "Thank you, Sara. You are a good friend." They play with the ball together. They share and take turns. They have fun. +Sara and Ben like to play in the bath. They have many toys that can float and make bubbles. Sara has a duck and Ben has a boat. They splash each other with water and laugh. + +One day, mom gives them a new toy. It is a prune. Mom says it is a fruit that is dry and wrinkly. Sara and Ben think it is funny. They put the prune in the water and watch it sink. They try to make it float, but it does not. They poke it and squeeze it, but it does not change. + +Then, Sara has an idea. She puts the prune in her mouth and chews it. She makes a face. The prune is harsh. It is sour and bitter and hard. She spits it out and says, "Yuck!" Ben sees her face and laughs. He picks up the prune and throws it at her. It hits her on the nose and splashes water on her eyes. She cries and says, "Ow!" + +Mom hears the noise and comes to the bath. She sees the prune and the water and the tears. She says, "What happened?" Sara and Ben tell her what they did. Mom says, "That was not a good idea. Prunes are not toys. They are for eating, but only if you like them. Some people do, some people don't. Next time, stick to your duck and your boat." She takes the prune and throws it in the trash. She hugs Sara and Ben and dries them with a towel. She says, "I love you, my silly splashers." Sara and Ben smile and say, "We love you too, mom." +Lily and Tom were going to the park with Mom. They were very happy. They liked to play on the swings and slide. But the sky was gray and cloudy. Mom said, "We might get some rain. Let's bring an umbrella, just in case." + +Lily and Tom each had their own umbrella. Lily's umbrella was pink with flowers. Tom's umbrella was blue with cars. They were very proud of their umbrellas. They wanted to show them to their friends at the park. + +When they got to the park, they saw Sam and Anna. Sam and Anna were their best friends. They ran to say hello. But Sam and Anna did not have umbrellas. They said, "Why do you have umbrellas? It's not raining. You look silly." + +Lily and Tom felt embarrassed. They did not want to look silly. They wanted to look cool. They said, "We don't need umbrellas. We can open them and use them as parachutes. Watch this!" + +They climbed to the top of the slide. They opened their umbrellas and jumped. They hoped to float down like parachutes. But their umbrellas did not work like parachutes. They did not slow them down. They made them spin and twist. They landed hard on the ground. They hurt their knees and elbows. They cried. + +Mom ran to help them. She said, "Are you okay? What were you thinking? You could have hurt yourself badly. You should never open an umbrella and jump from a high place. That's very dangerous." + +Lily and Tom felt more embarrassed. They wished they had listened to Mom. They wished they had not tried to impress Sam and Anna. They wished they had not brought their umbrellas. They learned a hard lesson. They never did that again. +Ben and Lily like to jog in the park with their dog Spot. They jog fast and slow, up and down, and have fun. One day, they see a big hole in the ground. They wonder what is in the hole. + +"Maybe it is a trap for a bad animal," Ben says. + +"Or maybe it is a home for a nice animal," Lily says. + +They want to look inside the hole, but Spot barks and pulls them away. He knows the hole is a trap for a fox. He does not want Ben and Lily to get hurt. + +They listen to Spot and jog away from the hole. They meet a man who works in the park. He tells them he made the trap to catch the fox. He says the fox is not bad, but humble. He says the fox is hungry and scared, and he wants to help him. + +Ben and Lily feel sorry for the fox. They ask the man if they can give the fox some food. The man says yes, but they have to be careful. He says the fox might bite or run away. He says they have to be gentle and quiet. + +Ben and Lily nod and jog to their home. They get some bread and cheese and jog back to the park. They see the fox in the trap. He looks sad and tired. They put the food near the trap and wait. The fox smells the food and comes out of the trap. He eats the food and looks at Ben and Lily. He wags his tail and makes a soft sound. + +Ben and Lily smile and wave at the fox. They are happy they helped him. They jog back to the man and tell him what they did. The man thanks them and says they are very kind. He says he will take the fox to a safe place where he can live and be free. + +Ben and Lily hug Spot and jog home with him. They are proud of themselves and their dog. They learned a lot today. They learned about traps and foxes and being humble. They learned to jog with care and love. +Lily and Max were best friends. They liked to play with blocks and dolls and cars. One day, they had a big fight. Lily wanted to play with the red car, but Max had it first. Max did not want to share. He said the red car was his. Lily got angry. She grabbed the car from Max and ran away. + +Max chased Lily. He wanted his car back. He pushed Lily and made her fall. Lily dropped the car and started to cry. Max picked up the car and said it was his. Lily said he was mean. They both said they did not want to be friends anymore. + +They sat on opposite sides of the room. They did not look at each other. They did not talk to each other. They felt sad and lonely. They missed each other. + +After a while, Lily looked at Max. She saw that he was holding the car, but he was not playing with it. He looked bored and unhappy. Lily felt sorry. She remembered that Max was her best friend. She wanted to play with him again. She got up and walked to Max. She said she was sorry. She said she did not mean to take his car. She asked if he wanted to share. + +Max looked at Lily. He saw that she had a band-aid on her knee, where she had fallen. He felt sorry. He remembered that Lily was his best friend. He wanted to play with her again. He said he was sorry. He said he did not mean to push her. He said he would share. + +They hugged and smiled. They said they forgave each other. They took turns playing with the car. They also played with the blocks and the dolls and the other cars. They had fun. They were happy. They were best friends again. They thought their day was perfect. +Lily and Tom were jolly twins who liked to play outside. They loved spring, when the sun was warm and the flowers were pretty. They had a big box of dress-up clothes that they used to pretend to be different things. + +One day, they decided to dress up as bees and fly around the garden. They put on yellow and black stripes, fuzzy hats and wings. They also made buzz sounds with their mouths. + +"Look at us, we are bees!" Lily said to Tom. "We can find honey and make friends with other bees!" + +"Yes, and we can also scare the cat!" Tom said, pointing to the gray cat that was sleeping on the porch. "Let's go and buzz near her ears!" + +They ran towards the cat, flapping their wings and buzzing loudly. The cat woke up and saw them. She did not like their dress-up game. She hissed and arched her back, ready to scratch them. + +Lily and Tom were scared. They did not want to be bees anymore. They turned around and ran back to the house. They took off their dress-up clothes and threw them in the box. + +"Maybe we should dress up as something else next time," Lily said. + +"Maybe we should dress up as cats," Tom said. "Then the cat would like us and play with us." + +They hugged each other and laughed. They were still jolly twins who liked to play outside. They just learned to be careful of the cat. +Lily and Ben liked to play with their toy boat. They took it to the pond near their house. They put the boat in the water and watched it sail. They made sounds like the wind and the waves. + +But one day, the wind was very strong. It blew the boat far away from them. Lily and Ben ran after it, but they could not catch it. They saw the boat sail to the other side of the pond, where there were many trees and bushes. + +"Let's go get it!" Ben said. + +"No, we can't!" Lily said. "That's the wild side. There might be animals or bugs or thorns. Mommy and Daddy said we can't go there." + +"But we can't leave our boat!" Ben said. "It's our favorite toy. Maybe we can find a stick or a rope to get it back." + +They looked around, but they did not see anything they could use. They felt sad and scared. They wished they had not played with their boat on a windy day. + +Then they heard a voice. It was Mommy. She had seen them from the house. She came to the pond with Daddy. They had a big net. + +"Don't worry, kids," Mommy said. "We'll help you get your boat back. It's not safe to go to the wild side. There might be animals or bugs or thorns. But we can use this net to reach your boat." + +Mommy and Daddy threw the net over the water. They pulled it back slowly. They caught the boat in the net. They gave it to Lily and Ben. + +"Thank you, Mommy and Daddy!" Lily and Ben said. They hugged their parents and their boat. They were happy and relieved. + +"Next time, let's play with your boat on a calm day," Daddy said. "Or maybe we can find a bigger pond where you can sail it safely." + +"OK," Lily and Ben said. They learned their lesson. They loved their boat, but they loved their house and their family more. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Violet. She loved to knit and crotchet with her grandma. One day, Violet was playing with her grandma's old yarn, but she accidentally snapped it. + +Violet was worried, so she went to her grandma and said, "I'm sorry I messed up your yarn." + +Grandma smiled, gave her a hug, and said, "Don't worry, we can restore it together." + +Grandma gave Violet some new yarn and they began to restore the old yarn. When they finished, Violet said, "Thank you. I'm so grateful!" + +Grandma smiled and said, "It's important to help others when you can. I'm grateful for you, too." + +Violet hugged her grandma again and learned a valuable lesson about being kind and helping others. She was so grateful for her grandma's help. +Once upon a time there was a little girl named Bessie. She was three years old and full of energy. Every morning, Bessie would jump out of bed and clap her hands in joy. + +One day, Bessie was playing in the park. She saw a broken toy on the ground and didn't know what to do. She asked her mom for her opinion. + +"It's okay, Bessie," her mom said. "Let's take it to the toy shop and ask the man there to fix it." + +So they took the toy to the shop and Bessie clapped in excitement. The shopkeeper carefully fixed the toy and Bessie was so happy. She was so thankful she could clap and clap. + +The end. +Once upon a time there was a happy man. He liked to match things in sets of two.

He asked the bird how he had hurt his leg, and the bird replied that he had slipped while flying. Jack offered to help the bird by taking off the bandage and taking care of his wound. + +Jack carefully took off the bandage. He was gentle and didn't try to hurt the bird any more. He then put a new bandage on the bird's leg and said, "Now you can rise and fly again!" + +The bird was very happy and flew away. Jack watched happily as the bird rose into the sky, free to explore and be adventurous once again. +A small girl was walking through the park. She was hungry and began to look for something to eat. Suddenly, she noticed a strange looking fruit near her feet. She bent down and saw that it was a sour looking fruit. + +The girl held up the fruit and asked, "What is this?". + +A friendly voice behind her replied, "It is a lemon. Squeeze some of it onto your food and it will taste better". + +The girl smiled and decided to give it a try. She grabbed a piece of bread and began to display the lemon onto it. It was a squishy feeling, but the girl enjoyed it. When the lemon juice had been spread all over the bread, it smelled sour. + +The girl bit into her creation and was pleasantly surprised. It tasted sour, but also sweet and delicious. She smiled and said, "That was yummy". + +The girl now had a new favorite dish and she would often display the lemon onto her food from then on. +John was a three year old boy who lived with his parents.

I wonder what it can do!†+ +Patrick said “Let's find out! I'm going to deliver it to the top of the hill.†+ +So Timmy and Patrick carried the rock all the way to the top of the hill. When they put it down, they noticed something strange. The rock started to move all by itself! + +Timmy scratched his head and said “That's so strange! What's happening?†+ +Patrick was intelligent, so he thought hard and then said “I think the rock is delivering a message. Maybe it is trying to tell us something important.†+ +Timmy said “What do you think it is?†+ +Patrick said “I think it's telling us to be brave and help one another, no matter what. That's the most important message of all.†+ +Timmy and Patrick smiled. They understood the message.

She was happy and wanted to sing! One day, she heard about a camp in the woods. She was so excited to go. + +When she got there, she noticed that everything was soft. The grass, the trees, the lake. She felt so safe. She sang her favourite song out loud until the sun went down. + +The next day, she explored more of the camp. She kept singing and singing. But as she reached the centre of the camp, she noticed something. All the singing seemed to echo. + +Suddenly, a loud noise filled the air. It was like a monster!

He asked his mum what it was and she said it smelt like old cheese.
