He runs to the puddle too. He jumps in it. Splash! More water goes everywhere. + +They laugh and jump and splash. They make waves and bubbles. They have fun. + +Then they see something in the puddle.

It has a pink stone. + +"Where did it come from?" Ben asks. + +"I don't know," Lily says. "Maybe someone lost it. Maybe it is magic." + +They observe the ring. They wonder about it. They decide to keep it. They put it in their pocket. + +They go back to jumping and splashing. They are happy. They have a new treasure. +Lily and Sam were going to the station with Mom and Dad.

Dad said, pointing to a blue train with a number on it. "We have to hurry and find our seats." + +They followed Dad to the train and got on. They found four seats near a window.

Lily said, waving her hand. + +"Bye bye, station!" Sam echoed, waving his hand too. + +Mom and Dad smiled and hugged them. They were glad they were going on a trip together. They were going to visit Grandma and Grandpa, who lived far away. They had not seen them for a long time. + +The train went faster and faster. It passed by fields and trees and houses and cars. Lily and Sam saw many things they had never seen before. They asked Mom and Dad many questions. Mom and Dad tried to answer them as best as they could. + +Soon, they felt sleepy. They leaned on Mom and Dad's shoulders and closed their eyes. They dreamed of Grandma and Grandpa and the fun they would have with them. + +Mom and Dad also felt sleepy. They closed their eyes too.

They had a lot of fun making noises and pretending to be animals. Ben was a lion and Lily was a bird. They roared and chirped and chased each other around the couch. + +But then they heard their mom call them from the kitchen. "Ben and Lily, it's time for lunch!" she said. "Come and wash your hands and sit at the table." + +Ben and Lily stopped playing and ran to the kitchen. They were hungry and wanted to eat. But when they got to the sink, they saw that there was only one towel. Ben grabbed it and dried his hands. Lily waited for her turn, but Ben did not give her the towel. He threw it on the floor and ran to the table. + +Lily was sad and angry. She wanted to dry her hands too. She did not like that Ben was mean to her. She picked up the towel and followed him to the table. She wanted to yell at him and tell him to share. + +But then she saw something on the table that made her smile. It was a picture that she had drawn for Ben. It was a picture of them playing with their toys and being happy. She had given it to him this morning and he had put it on the table. She remembered that Ben was her brother and that she loved him. She remembered that sometimes he was nice to her and sometimes he was not. She remembered that she could be nice to him even when he was not. + +She felt calm and decided not to yell at him. She put the towel on his chair and said, "Here, Ben, you can use this to wipe your mouth." She sat next to him and looked at the picture. She said, "Do you like the picture I made for you?" + +Ben looked at the picture and smiled. He remembered that Lily was his sister and that he loved her.

They were happy and reminded each other that they were friends. +Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play pretend. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big iron that looked like the one their moms used to make clothes smooth.

Lily said, "I own this iron, and it is very powerful. I can make anything I want with it. Watch!" She waved the iron over a pile of pillows and said, "Abracadabra! Now these are gold coins!" + +Ben was impressed, but he also wanted to try the iron. He said, "Can I use it too? I want to own something too." Lily said, "No, this is my iron. I found it first. You can't have it." She hugged the iron to her chest and turned away from Ben. + +Ben felt sad and angry. He said, "That's not fair! You are not a good friend. You are greedy and mean. I don't want to play with you anymore." He grabbed his teddy bear and ran away. + +Lily felt sorry and lonely. She realized that she had hurt Ben's feelings. She said, "Wait, Ben! Come back! I'm sorry. I don't need all these things. I just need you. You are my best friend. Please share the iron with me." She ran after Ben and gave him a hug. + +Ben smiled and hugged her back. He said, "I'm sorry too. I was jealous of your iron. But you are right. We don't need all these things. We just need each other. Let's share the iron and play together."

He was a big boy with a mean face. He saw the toys and wanted them. He ran to Tom and Anna and grabbed the ball and the doll. He said, "These are mine now!" + +Tom and Anna were scared and sad.

The policeman was walking in the park. He saw the thief with the ball and the doll. He knew they were not his. He said, "Hey, you! Stop right there! Where did you get those toys?" + +The thief was afraid. He tried to run, but the policeman caught him. He said, "You are a thief! You stole these toys from those children! You should be ashamed of yourself!" + +The thief felt ashamed. He knew he was wrong. He said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I was greedy and selfish.

We will play and have fun." + +They went back to their toys. They played with the ball, the doll, the car and the train. They were having fun and sharing their toys. They were not scared or sad anymore. They were happy. +Lily was a tidy girl who liked to keep her toys in their boxes and her books on the shelf. She did not like mess or noise or scary things. One night, when she was in bed, she heard a loud thump from the ceiling. She wondered what it was and felt afraid. She pulled her blanket over her head and trembled. + +The thump came again, and then a scratch and a squeak. Lily was sure there was a monster in the ceiling, and it wanted to get her. She wanted to call her mom and dad, but she was too scared to make a sound. She wished she had her teddy bear, but she had left it on the chair. She trembled more and more. + +Then, she heard a soft voice from the ceiling. It said, "Hello, little girl. Don't be afraid. I'm not a monster. I'm a mouse. I live in the ceiling with my family. We were just looking for some food. We're sorry if we scared you. Can we be friends?" Lily was surprised and curious. She peeked out from her blanket and saw a small brown mouse poking its head out from a hole in the ceiling. It looked friendly and cute, not scary at all. Lily smiled and said, "Hello, mouse. I'm Lily. I'm sorry I was afraid of you. You can be my friend. Do you want some cheese?" The mouse nodded and said, "Yes, please. That would be very nice. Thank you, Lily." Lily got out of bed and got some cheese from the kitchen. She broke it into small pieces and put them on the floor. The mouse came down and ate some cheese. Then, it went back to the ceiling and said, "Good night, Lily. You're a very kind and tidy girl. I hope you have sweet dreams." Lily said, "Good night, mouse. You're a very brave and polite mouse. I hope you have a cozy home." She went back to bed and cuddled her teddy bear. She did not tremble anymore. She felt happy and safe. She closed her eyes and fell asleep. +Tom and Mia are twins.

"But first, we have to sort our toys and put them away. Mom says we have to be tidy." + +"Okay, let's sort them fast!" Tom says. He grabs a handful of toys and throws them into the box. + +"Hey, be gentle!" Mia says. "You might break them or lose them. Look, this is how you sort them. You put the red ones here, the blue ones there, and the yellow ones over there. Then you put the balls here, the cars there, and the dolls over there. See?" + +Mia shows Tom how to sort the toys carefully and neatly. Tom nods and tries to copy her. They work together and soon they finish sorting their toys. + +"Good job, twins!" their mom says.

One of the bears is sorting the fish in its pool by color, shape and size. It puts the red ones here, the blue ones there, and the yellow ones over there.

"The bear is sorting the fish like we sorted our toys!" + +"Wow, you're right!" their dad says. "That's very smart of the bear. Maybe it likes to be tidy too." + +"Or maybe it learned from us!" Mia says. "Maybe it saw us sorting our toys and wanted to try it too." + +"Maybe," their dad says. "Or maybe it just likes to play with the fish. Either way, it's very gentle with them. It doesn't break them or lose them." + +Tom and Mia smile. They think the bear is very cool. They wave to the bear and say goodbye. They are happy they sorted their toys and went to the zoo. They had a special event. +Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play and laugh. One day, they saw a big sausage on the table. It smelled good and looked yummy.

He did not know what gifts were. He did not care about the other side of the forest. He only cared about his home. He was still very upset. + +He hopped up to the man and said, "Go away! Go away! This is my home! You are not welcome here! You are making my home dirty and smelly! You are scaring me and my mom! Go away! Go away!" + +The man was surprised. He did not expect the rabbit to be so angry. He tried to calm him down. + +"Please, little rabbit, don't be mad. I'm not here to harm you or your home. I'm here to make you happy. Look, I have a gift for you. It's a carrot. A big, juicy, orange carrot. Do you like carrots?" + +Bunny looked at the carrot. He did like carrots. He liked them very much.

You are not so bad after all. You can stay here for a while. But please, don't make too much smoke. It hurts my nose." + +The man smiled back. He said, "You're welcome, little rabbit. You're a very good animal. I'm glad you like the carrot. I'll try not to make too much smoke. I'll be gone soon. But before I go, can I ask you a favor?" + +Bunny nodded. He said, "What is it?" + +The man said, "Can you hop with me? I like to hop. It's fun. And it helps me stay warm. Will you hop with me?" + +Bunny nodded again. He said, "Yes, I will hop with you. I like to hop too. It's fun. And it helps me stay fit. Let's hop together." + +The man and the rabbit hopped around the burrow. They hopped high and low. They hopped fast and slow. They hopped and laughed and had a good time. They became friends. + +The end. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to build houses with twigs and leaves. They worked hard and made a big house. + +"Look at our house!" Tom said. "It is so nice and cozy. We can live here." + +"Yes, it is very nice," Lily said. "But we need a door. How can we make a door?" + +They looked around and saw a big twig. It was long and strong. They thought it would be a good door. + +"Let's use that twig!" Tom said. He ran to get it. + +But another boy saw the twig too. He wanted it for his sword. He was bigger and faster than Tom. He grabbed the twig and ran away. + +"Hey, that's our twig!" Tom shouted.

Ben said, "Let's pull something out of the lake with this stick. Maybe we can catch a fish or a frog." Lily said, "OK, let's try." + +They took turns holding the stick and swinging it over the water. They tried to hook something with the stick, but they did not catch anything. They only made splashes and scared the fish and the frogs away. They felt restless and bored. + +Then, Ben had an idea. He said, "Let's pull each other with the stick. I'll hook you and pull you to me, then you hook me and pull me to you. It will be fun." Lily said, "OK, let's do that." + +They laughed and played with the stick, pulling each other back and forth. They did not notice that they were getting closer and closer to the edge of the lake.

He grabbed her hand and pulled her out of the water. They were both wet and cold and scared. + +They ran back to their mom, who was sitting on a bench nearby. She saw them and said, "What happened? Why are you so wet?" Ben and Lily told her what they did with the stick and the lake. She said, "That was not a good idea. You could have hurt yourself or each other. The lake is not a toy. You have to be careful and respectful of nature. Come on, let's go home and get you dry and warm." + +Ben and Lily said they were sorry and hugged their mom. They learned their lesson and never played with the stick and the lake again. They still liked to go to the lake, but they only watched the fish, the ducks, the frogs, and the bugs.

She said Lily had to take the medicine, or she would be sick for a long time. She said she would spray the medicine in Lily's mouth, so it would be fast and easy. She said it would not hurt, only taste bitter for a moment. + +Lily was scared of the spray. She did not like things that squirted in her mouth. She cried and said no. Her mom said it was okay to cry, but she had to be brave and take the medicine. She said she loved Lily and wanted her to be well. + +Lily looked at her mom and saw that she was sad. She did not want to make her mom sad. She wanted to be a good girl and a brave girl. She nodded and said okay. She opened her mouth and let her mom spray the medicine.

Let me try something." + +"No, Max!" Lily says. "You will break something. You have to listen to me. I am the scientist and you are the helper." + +Max does not listen.

Billy sees Tommy's hat and says, "Your hat is silly. Why do you have a blueberry on your hat? Blueberries are for eating, not for wearing. My hat is better than yours." + +Tommy feels sad and angry. He likes his hat and he does not want Billy to make fun of it. He says, "No, your hat is silly. Why do you have a star on your hat? Stars are for shining, not for wearing.

She pushed her bowl away and said, "I quit cereal!" + +Her mom was surprised and sad. She said, "Anna, you can't quit cereal. Cereal is good for you. Cake and candy are not.

I don't care if they make me sick. I quit cereal!" + +Her mom did not know what to do. She tried to make Anna change her mind. She said, "Anna, please, think about it. Cereal is your friend. It helps you be healthy and smart. Cake and candy are not your friends. They hurt you and make you tired. You don't want to quit cereal. You want to eat it and enjoy it." + +Anna thought about it. She looked at her bowl of cereal. She looked at her mom. She saw her mom was worried and kind. She remembered how cereal made her feel good and happy. She realized her mom was right.

It was so scary and gross!" Lily sobbed. + +Lily's mom hugged her and tried to calm her down. She saw the dog and the car and the doll's head on the sand. She felt sorry for Lily and angry at the dog. She called the dog's owner, who was also in the park, and told him to control his dog. + +"I'm so sorry, miss. He's usually very friendly. He didn't mean to hurt your daughter's doll. He thought it was a toy," the dog's owner said. + +He picked up the dog and the doll's head and gave them to Lily's mom. He apologized again and left. + +Lily's mom looked at the doll's head. It was very delicate and pretty, but now it was ruined.

She decided to hide it in her bag and buy Lily a new doll later. + +She wiped Lily's tears and kissed her cheek. She told her that Anna was in a better place now and that she would always love her. She also told her that dogs sometimes make mistakes and that she should not be afraid of them. She asked her if she wanted to play with Ben and his truck or go home. + +Lily sniffed and nodded.

Do you want to try some?" Tommy nodded. He was curious. He took a spoon and scooped some ice cream. He put it in his mouth and made a funny face. It was very cold and very sweet. He liked it, but it also made his teeth hurt. + +He decided to eat some cake and some ice cream together. He thought they were both yummy. He was happy and full.

"Tim, Lily, time for lunch!" + +"OK, mom, we're coming!" they shouted back. + +They ran to the house, but they forgot to bring their bucket. They left it in the garden, next to the flower bed. + +After lunch, they wanted to play with their bucket again. But when they went to the garden, they saw that their bucket was empty. All the worms and bugs were gone. And the flowers were all trampled and broken. + +"Oh no, what happened?" Lily cried. + +They saw their dog, Spot, wagging his tail and licking his lips. He had a guilty look on his face. + +"Spot, did you eat our worms and bugs?" Tim asked. + +Spot barked and ran away. + +"Bad dog, bad dog!" Lily shouted. + +They felt sad and angry.

And watch out for hungry dogs. +Anna liked to write in her diary every day. She wrote about her friends, her toys, her dreams, and her secrets. She kept her diary under her pillow and never let anyone see it. + +One day, her brother Tom was bored and curious. He saw Anna's diary under her pillow and wanted to read it. He did not ask Anna or say sorry. He was ignorant and rude. He took the diary and opened it. + +Anna came back from playing outside and saw Tom with her diary. She was angry and sad. She shouted at Tom and tried to get her diary back. Tom laughed and ran away. He did not care about Anna's feelings. He was mean and selfish. + +Anna chased Tom around the house.

I am looking for nectar. Nectar is sweet and good for me. Your sunflower has a lot of nectar." + +Lily smiled and said, "That is nice. Can I have some nectar too?" + +The bee said, "No, Lily. Nectar is for bees. You can have honey. Honey is made from nectar. Honey is also sweet and good for you." + +Lily said, "Thank you, bee. Where can I find honey?" + +The bee said, "You can find honey in my hive. My hive is in the big tree over there. But be careful, Lily. There are many bees in my hive. They will sting you if you get too close. They are protecting the queen. The queen is the most important bee. She makes more bees." + +Lily said, "Wow, the queen sounds very special. Can I see her?" + +The bee said, "No, Lily. The queen is very busy. She does not like visitors. She stays in the center of the hive. It is very hot there. She needs the heat to keep her eggs warm." + +Lily said, "I see. Well, thank you for telling me, bee. You are very smart and kind. I will not bother the queen. I will go and look for some honey. Goodbye, bee." + +The bee said, "Goodbye, Lily. Have a nice day. And remember, do not touch the hive. It is not safe for you." +Sara liked to play with her mom's bracelet.

She said, "Well, thank you for your time. Please tell Lily to return the bracelet as soon as possible. It's very precious to me and I don't want to lose it." + +Lily's mom said, "I will, I will. I'm sorry for the trouble. Goodbye." + +They left the house and walked back to their car. Sara was still crying and said, "Mom, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to lose your bracelet. I just wanted to share it with Lily. I thought she was my friend." + +Her mom hugged her and said, "It's okay, Sara, it's okay. I know you didn't mean to. But you have to be careful with your things and with your friends. Not everyone is nice and honest. Some people are greedy and selfish. They will take what is not theirs and hurt you. You have to be smart and brave and stand up for yourself. Do you understand?" + +Sara nodded and said, "Yes, mom, I understand. I'm sorry, mom. I love you, mom." + +Her mom said, "I love you too, Sara. But I'm still very upset about the bracelet. It was a gift from your grandma before she passed away. It was very special to me.

They hear a loud noise. They run to the hole. They see a fire. They are scared. They scream for mom. + +Mom comes quickly. She sees the fire. She grabs a hose and sprays water on the hole. She puts out the fire. She is angry and worried. She asks Anna and Ben what they did. + +Anna and Ben are sorry. They tell mom they wanted to cook a cake. They thought the hole was an oven. They did not know there was a nest of bees in the hole. The bees were angry and stung them. They have red spots on their arms and legs. + +Mom hugs them and says they are silly. She says they should never play with fire or bees. She says they should always ask her before they cook. She says she will make them a real cake later. She says they have to be fair and share the cake with the bees. She says the bees need honey to make their own cakes. Anna and Ben nod and say yes. They say they are sorry to the bees. They say they will not use the hole again. They say they love mom and the cake. Mom smiles and kisses them. She says she loves them too. She says they are good children.

It likes Ben and his boat. It is a lively duck. It follows the boat as Ben pulls and lets go of the string. They have fun together. Dad smiles and takes a picture.

She had a good answer. + +"It means I love you, Dad," Lily said. "My thumb is my heart. I put it on the tower to show you I love you." + +Dad felt a warm feeling in his chest. He smiled too.

He said, "No, this is my butter. I like butter. You can have jam. Jam is good, too." + +Anna did not like jam. She wanted butter. She said, "No, I want butter, too. Butter is better than jam. You are not nice, Tom. You are mean!" + +Mom heard them arguing. She came to the table and saw what happened. She said, "Tom, you are being selfish. You took all the butter and did not think about Anna. That is not fair. You have to share with your sister. She wants butter, too. Can you explain why you did that?" + +Tom felt ashamed. He did not have a good reason. He said, "I don't know, Mom. I just like butter. I'm sorry, Anna. Here, you can have some of my butter." + +Anna smiled. She said, "Thank you, Tom.

She needs to calm down and cooperate. Otherwise, she might get an infection or worse. You have to take her to the hospital." + +Mom and dad were sad and worried. They took Anna to the hospital.

I'm sorry. Can I help you clean up?" + +Her mom smiled and said, "Yes, you can. Thank you, Sara. You are a good girl. And you are pretty and smart, too, without makeup." + +They cleaned up the mess together, and Sara learned her lesson. She did not play with her mom's makeup again, unless her mom let her. And her mom bought her some cheap makeup for kids, so she could play with it sometimes. They were happy again. +Ben and Sam like to play with their dad's old camera. They find it in a box in the garage. It has a black thing inside that dad calls film. They want to take pictures of their toys and their dog. + +They take the camera to the backyard. They see a big bird in a tree. It has red and yellow feathers. It makes a loud noise. Ben says, "Wow, look at that bird! It is wild and pretty. Let's take a picture of it." + +Sam says, "OK, but we have to be quiet. We don't want to scare it away." He holds the camera and tries to find the bird in the hole. He pushes a button. Nothing happens. He says, "Oh no, the camera is not working. Maybe we need to load the film again." + +Ben says, "I know how to do it. Dad showed me once. You have to open the back and pull the film out. Then you have to put it back in and wind it." He takes the camera from Sam and opens the back. He sees the film. It is black and shiny. He pulls it out. It makes a funny noise. + +The bird hears the noise and gets angry. It flies down from the tree and attacks Ben and Sam. It pecks at their heads and their hands. It tears the film with its beak. Ben and Sam scream and run away. They drop the camera on the ground. It breaks into pieces. + +Dad hears the screams and comes out. He sees the bird, the camera, and the film. He is very mad. He says, "What have you done? You ruined my camera and my film. That was a rare and expensive bird. You scared it away. You are in big trouble. Go to your room right now." Ben and Sam cry and go to their room. They are sorry and sad. They wish they had not played with the camera. They wish they had left the bird alone. They wish they had a good ending. +Lily and Ben were playing with crayons and paper. They liked to draw and color different things. Lily drew a big sun and a flower. Ben drew a car and a house. They were having fun. + +But then Ben saw Lily's scissors. They were shiny and sharp. He wanted to try them. He took them from Lily's desk when she was not looking. He started to cut his paper into small pieces. He made a big mess on the floor. + +"Hey, what are you doing?" Lily asked. She saw Ben with her scissors. She was angry. "Those are mine! Give them back!" + +"No, they are mine now!" Ben said. He did not want to share. He held the scissors tight. He tried to cut more paper. + +Lily reached for the scissors. She wanted them back. She pulled hard. Ben pulled harder. They both pulled and pulled. But the scissors were sharp. They cut Lily's finger. She cried out loud. Blood came out of her finger. It hurt a lot. + +Lily's mom heard her cry. She ran to the room. She saw the scissors, the paper, and the blood. She was scared and mad. She took the scissors from Ben. She threw them in the trash. She took Lily to the bathroom. She washed her finger and put a band-aid on it. + +She scolded Ben. She said he was naughty and mean. She said he could not play with Lily anymore. She said he had to go home. She called his mom. She told her what happened. + +Ben felt sorry and sad. He did not mean to hurt Lily. He just wanted to play with the scissors. He said he was sorry. He said he would be nice. But it was too late. He had to leave. He had no friend to play with. He had no scissors to cut with. He had a bad day. +Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play in the yard. One day, they find a big ball. They kick the ball to each other. They have fun. + +But then, Tom kicks the ball too hard. The ball goes over the fence. Sam runs after the ball. He wants to get it back. He does not see the rock. He trips on the rock. He falls on the ground. He hurts his toe. He cries. + +Tom hears Sam cry. He runs to him. He sees Sam's toe. It is red and swollen. It looks bad. He says, "I'm sorry, Sam. I did not mean to kick the ball so hard. Are you OK?" + +Sam says, "No, I'm not OK. My toe hurts a lot. It is bad. I want Mom." + +Tom says, "Don't worry, Sam. I will help you. Come on, let's go to Mom. She will make your toe better." + +Tom helps Sam get up. He holds his hand. He walks with him to the house. He lays him on the couch. He gets a cold pack. He puts it on Sam's toe. He says, "This will make your toe feel good. Mom will be here soon. She will give you a hug and a kiss. And maybe a cookie." + +Sam smiles a little. He says, "Thank you, Tom. You are a good brother. I love you." + +Tom smiles too. He says, "I love you too, Sam. You are a good brother. And I'm sorry about the ball." + +Sam says, "It's OK, Tom. The ball is not important. You are important. And so is my toe." +Ben and Mia are playing in the park. They like to slide and swing and run. They see a big tent with many colors. They want to go inside. + +"Look, a tent!" Ben says. "Can we go in?" + +"OK, but be careful," Mia says. "It is dark inside." + +They hold hands and walk to the tent. They see a zip on the door. Ben pulls the zip and opens the door. They go inside. + +The tent is dark and cozy. They see many lights and shapes on the walls. They are patterns. Some are stars, some are flowers, some are animals. They are pretty. + +"Wow, this is cool!" Ben says. "I like the patterns." + +"Me too," Mia says. "They are like a story." + +They sit on a mat and make up stories about the patterns. They have fun. They forget about the time. + +"Ben, Mia, where are you?" They hear a voice outside. It is Mom. She is looking for them. + +"Oops, we have to go," Ben says. "Mom is here." + +They stand up and walk to the door. They zip the door and go outside. + +"Hi, Mom," they say. + +"Hi, kids," Mom says. "What were you doing in the tent?" + +"We were playing with the patterns," Mia says. + +"They were like a story," Ben says. + +Mom smiles. She is happy they had fun. She takes their hands and walks with them to the car. They go home. +There was a town with many old houses. In one house, there was a boy named Tom. Tom liked to play with his toys and read his books. But he did not like to sleep. He always wanted to stay up late and see the stars. + +One night, Tom's mom said, "It is time to sleep, Tom. You have to wake up early tomorrow. We are going to visit grandma and grandpa. They live far away, so we have to take a long car ride." + +Tom said, "No, mom. I don't want to sleep. I want to see the stars. They are so bright and pretty. Please, mom, let me stay up a little more." + +Tom's mom said, "No, Tom. You have to sleep. If you don't sleep, you will be tired and grumpy tomorrow. You won't have fun with grandma and grandpa. And you might miss the stars anyway, because it might rain. Now, go to bed and close your eyes." + +Tom was sad and angry. He did not want to miss the stars. He did not want to go to bed. He did not want to listen to his mom. He thought of a plan. He said, "Okay, mom. I will go to bed. But can I have a glass of water first?" + +Tom's mom said, "Okay, Tom. But hurry up. I will be right here to tuck you in." + +Tom went to the kitchen and got a glass of water. But he also got a flashlight. He hid the flashlight under his pillow. He went back to his room and said, "Thank you, mom. I love you. Good night." + +Tom's mom said, "I love you too, Tom. Good night." She tucked him in and turned off the light. + +Tom waited for a few minutes. He heard his mom go to her room. He heard her close the door. He heard her snore. He smiled. He took out his flashlight and turned it on. He pointed it at the window. He saw the stars. He was happy. + +But he did not know that his mom was not really asleep. She was just pretending. She wanted to see what Tom would do. She heard him turn on his flashlight. She got up and went to his room. She opened the door and said, "Tom, what are you doing? You are supposed to be asleep. You are not allowed to play with your flashlight at night. You are in trouble, young man." + +Tom was scared and sorry. He turned off his flashlight and said, "I'm sorry, mom. I just wanted to see the stars. They are so beautiful. Please, mom, don't be mad at me." + +Tom's mom said, "Tom, I understand that you like the stars. But you have to sleep. Sleep is good for you. It helps you grow and learn and dream. And you can see the stars tomorrow, if it doesn't rain. But you have to promise me that you will never play with your flashlight at night again. It is dangerous and rude. Do you promise?" + +Tom said, "Yes, mom. I promise. I will never play with my flashlight at night again. I will sleep. I will be a good boy." + +Tom's mom said, "Good. I'm glad you understand. I'm not mad at you, Tom. I love you. But you have to follow the rules. Now, give me a hug and a kiss and go to sleep." + +Tom gave his mom a hug and a kiss and said, "I love you, mom. Good night." + +Tom's mom said, "I love you too, Tom. Good night." She took his flashlight and turned on his night light. She tucked him in and closed the door. + +Tom closed his eyes and fell asleep. He dreamed of the stars. He was happy. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with blocks and dolls. One day, they see a big poster in the school. The poster says: "Help the animals. Give some money or toys." + +Lily says: "I want to help the animals. They are cute and need love." + +Ben says: "Me too. But I have no money or toys to give." + +Lily thinks for a moment. Then she says: "I have an idea. We can make something with our blocks and dolls. We can make a heart. A heart is a sign of love." + +Ben likes the idea. He says: "Yes, let's do that. A heart is a good gift." + +They work hard to make a heart with their blocks and dolls. They use red blocks for the heart and white blocks for the border. They put some dolls inside the heart. They make the heart big and pretty. + +When they finish, they show their heart to the teacher. The teacher smiles and says: "What a beautiful heart! You are very modest and kind. You support the animals with your heart. I am proud of you." + +Lily and Ben are happy. They hug each other and say: "We are friends. We have big hearts." +Sara liked fashion. She liked to wear pretty dresses and hats and shoes. She liked to look at pictures of fashion in books and magazines. She wanted to be a fashion star when she grew up. + +One day, Sara saw a fashion show on TV. She saw many women wearing beautiful clothes and walking on a big stage. They looked happy and strong and confident. Sara wanted to be like them. She thought they drank something special to be so good at fashion. + +She asked her mom, "Mom, what do they drink to be so good at fashion?" + +Her mom smiled and said, "They don't drink anything special, Sara. They drink water and juice and milk, just like you. They are good at fashion because they work hard and practice and have fun. Drinking is not enough to be good at fashion. You need to eat healthy and sleep well and exercise too. And you need to be yourself and love yourself. That's what makes you good at fashion." + +Sara thought about what her mom said. She realized that drinking was not a magic trick to be good at fashion. She decided to drink water and juice and milk, but also to eat healthy and sleep well and exercise. And she decided to be herself and love herself, because she was already good at fashion. She was not weak, she was strong and confident and happy. She hugged her mom and said, "Thank you, mom. You are the best fashion star in the world." +Tim and Sam are friends. They like to play with toy guns. They pretend to be cowboys and robbers. One day, they find a big box in the park. They think it is a treasure. + +"Let's open it!" Tim says. + +"OK, but be careful. Maybe there is a trap." Sam says. + +They lift the lid of the box. Inside, they see a lot of shiny things. They are coins and jewels and watches. They are very happy. + +"Wow, look at all this! We are rich!" Tim says. + +"Shh, don't be so loud. Someone might hear us." Sam says. + +But it is too late. A man comes out from behind a tree. He has a real gun. He is angry. + +"Hey, you little thieves! That's my stuff! Give it back or I'll shoot you!" He says. + +Tim and Sam are scared. They drop the box and run away. The man shoots at them. He misses. But one of the bullets hits the box. It makes a big hole. The shiny things fall out. Some of them are fake. They are plastic and paper. The man is not rich. He is a liar. + +Tim and Sam hide behind a bench. They are safe. They look at each other. They are glad. They have each other. They don't need the shiny things. They are ordinary. But they are happy. +Mia and Leo were playing in the yard with their dog, Spot. They liked to throw a ball and watch him run and catch it. But today, Spot was scratching a lot. He had fleas on his fur. + +"Spot, stop scratching! You are hurting yourself!" Mia said. She felt sorry for her dog. She wanted to help him. + +"Let's go to the store and buy some flea spray," Leo suggested. He knew that the store had many things for pets. He hoped they had enough money. + +They ran inside and asked their mom if they could go to the store. Their mom said yes, but they had to be careful and stay together. She gave them some coins and a note for the storekeeper. + +Mia and Leo took Spot and walked to the store. They saw many things on the way. They saw cars and bikes and flowers and birds. They also saw a big house with a fence and a gate. A lady was walking out of the house with a small dog. The dog had a pink bow and a shiny collar. The lady looked wealthy. + +"Hello, children. What a nice dog you have," the lady said. She smiled and bent down to pet Spot. But Spot growled and moved away. He did not like the lady or her dog. + +"Sorry, ma'am. Our dog has fleas. We are going to the store to buy some flea spray," Mia explained. + +"Oh, you poor things. Fleas are so nasty. You should take better care of your dog. My dog never has fleas. He is very clean and healthy. He only eats the best food and sleeps on a soft bed. He is a very happy dog," the lady said. She lifted her dog and walked away. + +Mia and Leo felt angry and sad. They did not like the lady or her dog. They loved Spot and took good care of him. They did not care if he had fleas or not. He was their best friend. + +They reached the store and gave the note and the coins to the storekeeper. He gave them a can of flea spray and wished them good luck. They thanked him and went back home. + +They sprayed Spot with the flea spray and brushed his fur. Spot wagged his tail and licked their faces. He felt better and stopped scratching. He was a very happy dog. + +Mia and Leo hugged Spot and played with him. They did not care if he had a bow or a collar or a bed. They only cared that he was their dog. They were a very happy family. +Tom and Sam were brothers who liked to play with their toys. But they also liked to quarrel a lot. They always wanted the same toy and did not want to share. One day, they found a big patch of dirt in the yard. They both wanted to dig and make mud pies. + +"I saw it first!" Tom said. "It is mine!" + +"No, it is mine!" Sam said. "You have many toys already!" + +They began to pull and push each other. They did not listen to their mom who told them to stop. They were not careful and hurt each other. Tom scratched Sam's face and Sam bit Tom's arm. They both cried and ran to their mom. + +Mom was very angry and sad. She cleaned their wounds and put bandages on them. She said, "You are both naughty and selfish. You do not love each other. You only quarrel and fight. You do not deserve to play with any toys. Go to your room and think about what you did." + +Tom and Sam felt sorry and ashamed. They wished they had shared the patch of dirt and played nicely. They learned that quarreling is bad and hurts everyone. They hugged each other and said, "We are sorry, mom. We love you and we love each other. We will not quarrel again." + +But it was too late. Mom did not forgive them. She took away all their toys and locked them in their room. They had no fun and no friends. They were lonely and sad. They realized that they had lost everything because of their quarrel. + +The moral of the story is: Do not quarrel with your brother or sister. Share and be kind. Or you will lose your toys and your happiness. +Tommy was a little boy who liked to play with his toys. He had a lot of cars, trucks, and trains that he zoomed around the floor. He also had a big teddy bear that he hugged and talked to. Tommy loved his teddy bear very much. + +One day, Tommy's mom said it was time for lunch. She made Tommy a sandwich and some juice and put them on a plate with a napkin. Tommy was hungry, so he ran to the table and started to eat. He did not notice that his teddy bear was still on the floor, near his toys. + +While Tommy was eating, his big sister Lucy came into the room. She saw the teddy bear on the floor and picked it up. She thought it was cute and soft, so she decided to take it to her room. She did not ask Tommy if she could borrow it. She did not think he would mind. + +Tommy finished his lunch and wiped his mouth with the napkin. He looked around for his teddy bear, but he could not find it. He felt sad and scared. He wondered where his teddy bear was. He started to cry and complain. He said, "Mommy, where is my teddy bear? I want my teddy bear!" + +Mommy heard Tommy's cry and came to the table. She saw that he was upset and asked him what was wrong. Tommy told her that his teddy bear was gone. Mommy looked around and saw that Lucy had taken it to her room. She felt sorry for Tommy and said, "Don't worry, Tommy. I will get your teddy bear back. Lucy should not have taken it without asking. She should be more compassionate." + +Mommy went to Lucy's room and knocked on the door. She told Lucy that Tommy was crying and complaining because she had taken his teddy bear. She asked Lucy to give it back and to apologize to Tommy. Lucy felt ashamed and said she was sorry. She gave the teddy bear to Mommy and followed her to the table. + +Mommy gave the teddy bear to Tommy and hugged him. She said, "Here is your teddy bear, Tommy. Lucy said she was sorry. She did not mean to make you sad. She likes your teddy bear, too. Maybe you can share it with her sometimes." Tommy smiled and said, "Thank you, Mommy. Thank you, Lucy. I love my teddy bear. I love you, too." He hugged his teddy bear and his sister. Lucy hugged him back and said, "I love you, too, Tommy. You are a good brother. Can I play with your cars, trucks, and trains?" Tommy nodded and said, "Yes, you can. Let's go to the floor and play together." They went to the floor and played with the toys. They were happy and did not complain anymore. +Tom and Mia liked to play in the big open park. They ran and jumped and laughed. They saw many wild things, like birds and bugs and flowers. They liked to look at them and learn their names. + +One day, they found a strange toy in the grass. It was a big red button with a picture of a star. Tom pushed the button and said, "What does it do?" Mia said, "I don't know. Maybe it makes a wish." + +But the button did not make a wish. It made a zap. A bright light flashed and Tom and Mia felt funny. They looked at each other and saw that they were very small. They had shrunk! + +They were scared and shouted, "Help! Help!" But no one heard them. They were too tiny. They saw the wild things get bigger and bigger. The birds and bugs and flowers looked like giants. They had to run and hide from them. + +They saw the button in the grass, but it was far away. They had to get to it and push it again. Maybe it would make them big again. They ran and dodged and jumped. They hoped no one would step on them or eat them. + +They reached the button and pushed it hard. They hoped it would work. They saw another flash and felt another zap. They closed their eyes and wished. + +When they opened their eyes, they saw that they were big again. They were happy and hugged each other. They said, "That was scary! Let's never play with that button again!" They threw the button in the trash and ran back to their mom. They told her what happened, but she did not believe them. She said, "That's a silly story. You have big imaginations." + +Tom and Mia smiled and nodded. They knew it was true, but they did not mind. They liked to have big imaginations. They liked to play and learn and have fun. They liked to be big and small and wild and open. They liked to be Tom and Mia. +Anna and Ben are twins. They share a room and a bed. Every night, they tell each other stories before they sleep. + +One night, Anna says, "Ben, do you like your face?" + +Ben is surprised. He says, "Why do you ask?" + +Anna says, "I don't like my face. It is too ordinary. I want a face like a princess or a fairy." + +Ben says, "But your face is beautiful. It is like mine. We are twins. We have the same face." + +Anna says, "But I want to be different. I want to have a face that is special and pretty." + +Ben says, "You are special and pretty. You are my sister. I love you. And I love your face. It is not ordinary. It is unique." + +Anna smiles. She says, "Thank you, Ben. You are my brother. I love you. And I love your face. It is not ordinary. It is unique." + +They hug each other. They say good night. They close their eyes. They sleep. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a bright bag on a bench. They are curious. They go to the bag and look inside. + +"Wow, there are many toys in the bag!" Lily says. "Look, a ball, a doll, a car, a puzzle!" + +"Who left the bag here?" Tom asks. "Maybe someone forgot it. Can we play with the toys?" + +Lily thinks for a moment. She shakes her head. "No, Tom, we can't. The toys are not ours. We have to find the owner of the bag. Maybe they are sad and miss their toys." + +"But how can we find them?" Tom wonders. "The park is big and there are many people." + +Lily has an idea. She takes out the puzzle from the bag. It has a picture of a dog on it. "Maybe this puzzle can help us. Maybe the owner of the bag likes dogs. Maybe they have a dog. Let's look for someone with a dog!" + +Tom agrees. He puts the other toys back in the bag. He and Lily carry the bag and the puzzle. They walk around the park. They see many people, but no one with a dog. + +They are about to give up, when they hear a voice. "Spot! Spot! Where are you?" + +They turn and see a boy. He is looking for his dog. He has a leash in his hand, but no dog. He looks sad and worried. + +Lily and Tom run to him. They show him the bag and the puzzle. "Is this your bag?" Lily asks. "Is this your puzzle? Is this your dog?" + +The boy's eyes light up. He nods. "Yes, yes, yes! That's my bag, my puzzle, my dog! Thank you, thank you, thank you! You found my bag! You solved my puzzle! You found my dog!" + +He hugs the bag and the puzzle. He sees his dog running to him. He hugs his dog. He is happy. + +Lily and Tom are happy too. They smile. They solved a problem. They made a new friend. They played in the park. They had a good day. +Tom likes to draw with his crayons. He has many colors and he makes pictures of animals, cars, and houses. He likes to show his pictures to his mom and dad. They say he is very good at drawing. + +One day, Tom finds a big paper on the table. He thinks it is for him to draw on. He takes his crayons and starts to make a big picture. He draws a loop with red, then another loop with blue, then another loop with yellow. He makes many loops and fills the paper with colors. + +He is very happy with his picture. He wants to show it to his mom and dad. He runs to the living room, where they are watching TV. He says, "Look, look, I made a picture for you!" + +His mom and dad look at his picture. They smile and hug him. They say, "Wow, Tom, this is a beautiful picture! You are very talented! Do you know what you have drawn?" + +Tom shakes his head. He does not know what he has drawn. He just likes the loops and the colors. + +His mom and dad say, "You have drawn the Olympic rings, Tom! They are a symbol of a big event where people from different countries play sports and have fun. They are very famous and important. You are very smart, Tom!" + +Tom does not know what the Olympic rings are, or what a symbol is, or what a country is. But he is happy that his mom and dad like his picture. He feels proud and happy. He realizes that he loves to draw. He wants to draw more pictures and learn more things. He hugs his mom and dad and says, "Thank you, thank you, I love you!" +Lily liked to play in the park with her friends. She liked to swing, slide and run. She also liked to watch the squirrels. They were brown and furry and had long tails. They liked to climb the trees and find nuts. + +One day, Lily saw a new squirrel in the park. It was white and shiny and had a short tail. It looked different from the other squirrels. Lily wanted to say hello to it. She walked slowly towards it and said, "Hi, I am Lily. What is your name?" + +The white squirrel looked at Lily and said, "Hi, I am Snowy. I am new here. I came from a far place where it is cold and white." + +Lily smiled and said, "Wow, you are very pretty. Do you want to play with me and my friends?" + +Snowy nodded and said, "Yes, I do. Thank you for being nice to me." + +Lily and Snowy went to join the other children and squirrels. They had fun playing and sharing. Snowy made many new friends. He was very popular. He was happy. + +The end. +Lily and Tom were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of fun making noises and pretending to be animals. But soon they felt tired and bored. They looked at the clock and saw that it was almost bedtime. + +"I don't want to go to bed," Lily said. "I want to stay up and play more." + +"Me too," Tom said. "But Mom and Dad will be angry if we don't listen to them." + +They heard Mom and Dad talking in the kitchen. They were drinking wine and laughing. They did not hear Lily and Tom. + +"Let's go and see what they are doing," Lily said. "Maybe they will let us stay up a little longer." + +They tiptoed to the kitchen door and peeked inside. Mom and Dad were sitting at the table, holding glasses of wine. They looked happy and relaxed. + +"Hello, Mom and Dad," Lily said loudly. "Can we stay up and play more?" + +Mom and Dad did not answer. They did not even look at Lily and Tom. They kept talking and laughing. + +"Hello, Mom and Dad," Tom said louder. "Can we stay up and play more?" + +Still no answer. Mom and Dad did not notice them. + +Lily and Tom felt sad and angry. They thought Mom and Dad were deaf. They did not care about them. + +They went back to the living room and sat on the couch. They did not want to play anymore. They yawned and hugged their toys. + +"Maybe they will talk to us tomorrow," Lily said. + +"Maybe," Tom said. + +They closed their eyes and fell asleep. +Lila is a shy girl. She does not like to talk to new people. She likes to play with her dolls and her books. She has a big garden with many flowers and trees. + +One day, Lila sees a new thing in her garden. It is a vine. The vine is green and long. It has many leaves and some purple flowers. Lila thinks the vine is pretty. She wants to touch it. + +She walks to the vine. She reaches out her hand. But the vine moves. It wraps around her arm. Lila is scared. She tries to pull away. But the vine is strong. It pulls her closer. + +Lila cries. She calls for help. She hears a voice. It is the vine. The vine says, "Do not be afraid. I am not going to hurt you. I just want to be your friend. I am lonely. I have no one to talk to. Will you talk to me?" + +Lila is surprised. She looks at the vine. The vine looks sad. Lila feels sorry for the vine. She says, "Okay. I will talk to you. But please let go of my arm. It hurts." + +The vine says, "I am sorry. I did not mean to hurt you. I will let go of your arm. But please do not run away. Stay with me." + +The vine loosens its grip. Lila rubs her arm. She says, "Thank you. I will not run away. I will stay with you. But I am shy. I do not know what to say." + +The vine says, "That is okay. I am shy too. We can start with our names. My name is Violet. What is your name?" + +Lila says, "My name is Lila. It is nice to meet you, Violet." + +Violet says, "It is nice to meet you too, Lila. You are very kind. Can we be friends?" + +Lila says, "Yes, we can be friends. I like you, Violet. You are very pretty." + +Violet says, "I like you too, Lila. You are very brave. You have a big heart." + +Lila and Violet smile. They talk and laugh. They have fun. They become good friends. They are not shy anymore. +Lily and Ben are playing in the garden. They have a small hose that can make water come out. They like to set the hose on the grass and watch the water spray. + +"Look, Lily, I can make a rainbow!" Ben says. He holds the hose up to the sun and sees the colors in the water. + +"Wow, that's pretty!" Lily says. She tries to do the same, but the hose is too heavy for her. She drops it and the water splashes on her dress. + +"Oh no, I'm wet!" Lily cries. She runs to her mom, who is sitting on a chair with a book. + +"Mama, mama, I need a towel!" Lily says. + +"What happened, sweetie?" her mom asks. She sees Lily's wet dress and the hose on the grass. + +"Ben and I were playing with the hose, and I dropped it, and it made me wet!" Lily explains. + +Her mom smiles and hugs her. "It's okay, honey, it's just water. It will dry soon. Do you want to change your dress?" + +Lily nods. She goes inside with her mom and picks a new dress. She feels better. + +She goes back to the garden and sees Ben waiting for her. He has turned off the hose and put it away. + +"Sorry, Lily, I didn't mean to make you wet," he says. + +"It's okay, Ben, it was an accident," she says. "Do you want to play something else?" + +Ben thinks for a moment. He sees a ball and a basket. + +"How about we play catch?" he suggests. + +Lily likes that idea. She smiles and nods. + +They take the ball and the basket and start to play catch. They have fun and forget about the hose. They are good friends. +Tom and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. They liked to make up stories with their dolls and cars. Sometimes they asked each other questions about their stories. + +"Where is your car going?" Tom asked Lily. + +"It is going to the park to see the ducks," Lily said. + +"Why does your car like ducks?" Tom questioned. + +"Because they are gentle and soft and make funny noises," Lily said. + +Tom nodded. He liked ducks too. He wanted to go to the park with Lily and her car. + +"Can we go to the park too?" Tom asked Lily. + +Lily looked at the clock on the wall. It was almost time for lunch. She knew they had to eat before they could go out. + +"Maybe after lunch," Lily said. "We have to ask Mommy first." + +Tom agreed. He was hungry and he liked Mommy's sandwiches. He hoped Mommy would say yes to the park. + +They put their toys away and ran to the kitchen. They saw Mommy making lunch. + +"Mommy, Mommy, can we go to the park after lunch?" they both asked. + +Mommy smiled and hugged them. She was happy to see them playing nicely. + +"Of course you can, my sweeties," she said. "But first you have to eat your lunch and clean your plates." + +Tom and Lily cheered. They were excited to go to the park and see the ducks. They thanked Mommy and sat down at the table. They ate their lunch quickly and cleaned their plates. Then they put on their coats and shoes and grabbed Lily's car. + +"Are you ready to go?" Mommy asked. + +"Yes, yes, yes!" Tom and Lily said. + +Mommy took their hands and walked with them to the park. They had a fun time playing with the ducks and their car. They were happy and gentle. They asked Mommy many questions about the ducks and the park. Mommy answered them patiently and lovingly. They had a wonderful time. +Tom and Lily went to the zoo with their mom. They saw many animals, but their favorite was the elephant. The elephant was very big and had a long nose and rough skin. The elephant could make loud noises and spray water with its nose. + +"Can we feed the elephant, mom?" Tom asked. + +"Sure, we can. Follow me," mom said. She lead them to a place where they could buy some fruits for the elephant. Tom and Lily each got a banana and an apple. + +They walked back to the elephant and waited for their turn. The elephant looked at them with its big eyes and reached out its nose. Tom and Lily held out their fruits and smiled. + +"Here you go, elephant. We have some yummy fruits for you," Lily said. + +The elephant took the fruits gently and ate them. It seemed to like them very much. It made a happy noise and sprayed some water in the air. Tom and Lily laughed and clapped their hands. + +"Thank you, elephant. You are very nice and smart," Tom said. + +The elephant nodded its head and touched their hair with its nose. It felt rough but gentle. Tom and Lily hugged the elephant and said goodbye. + +They had a lot of fun at the zoo, but the elephant was their best friend. +Tom was sick. He had a bad cough and a sore throat. He did not want to play or eat. He only wanted to lie in his bed and sleep. + +His mom came to his room with a glass of water and a small pill. She said, "Tom, this pill will help you feel better. It will make your cough go away and your throat less sore. You have to swallow it with some water." + +Tom looked at the pill and made a face. He did not like pills. They were hard and bitter. He said, "No, mom, I don't want the pill. It is yucky. I want to sleep." + +His mom smiled and said, "I know, Tom, pills are not fun. But they are good for you. They are medicine. If you take the pill, you will be successful. You will get well soon and you can play and eat again. Don't you want that?" + +Tom thought for a moment. He did want to play and eat again. He did not want to be sick anymore. He said, "OK, mom, I will try the pill. But can you rock me first?" + +His mom nodded and said, "Of course, Tom, I will rock you first. Come here, my sweet boy." She picked him up and hugged him. She rocked him gently in her arms and sang a soft song. Tom felt warm and safe. He opened his mouth and took the pill with some water. He did not like the taste, but he did not spit it out. He swallowed it bravely. + +His mom kissed his forehead and said, "Good job, Tom, you are very successful. You took the pill like a big boy. I am proud of you. Now you can sleep and rest. I will be here if you need me." + +Tom smiled and said, "Thank you, mom, I love you. You are the best mom ever." He closed his eyes and fell asleep. He dreamed of playing and eating again. He hoped he would feel better soon. +Lily and Tom were in the car with Mom and Dad. They were going to the city for the first time. Lily was excited to see the big buildings and the people. Tom was scared of the noise and the dirt. + +"Look, Lily, there is the city!" Mom said, pointing out the window. + +Lily blinked her eyes and saw the tall towers and the bright lights. She clapped her hands and said, "Wow, it's so pretty!" + +Tom blinked his eyes and saw the smoke and the trash. He wrinkled his nose and said, "Yuck, it's so disgusting!" + +Mom and Dad laughed and said, "Don't worry, Tom, the city has nice things too. We'll show you the park and the zoo and the museum." + +Lily and Tom nodded and smiled. They were curious to see what the city had to offer. They hoped they would have fun and learn new things. They held hands and looked out the window again. The city was getting closer and closer. +Lily and Max are friends. They like to play with toys. One day, they find a big box of toys in the park. The box has many colorful toys: cars, dolls, balls, blocks, and more. + +"Wow, look at all these toys!" Lily says. "Can we play with them?" + +"I don't know," Max says. "Maybe they have an owner. Maybe someone left them here by mistake." + +Lily and Max look around. They do not see anyone. They do not see a name or a note on the box. + +"Maybe the owner does not want them anymore," Lily says. "Maybe they are a gift for us." + +"Or maybe the owner will come back soon," Max says. "Maybe they will be sad if we take their toys." + +Lily and Max do not know what to do. They want to play with the toys, but they do not want to be bad. They have to decide. + +"What do you think we should do?" Lily asks Max. + +"I think we should ask someone," Max says. "Maybe we can find a grown-up who knows about the toys." + +Lily agrees. She and Max leave the box of toys in the park. They look for a grown-up who can help them. They hope they can find the owner or get permission to play with the toys. They also hope the toys will be safe until then. They do not want the toys to be lost or broken. They think the toys are very colorful and fun. +Sara likes to sing. She sings when she wakes up, when she plays, and when she eats. She sings loud and happy. She sings songs she knows and songs she makes up. + +One day, Sara wants to sing in the kitchen. She sees a big jar of butter on the table. She thinks butter is yummy. She wants to sing a song about butter. She climbs on a chair and reaches for the jar. + +But the jar is too heavy for Sara. She drops it on the floor. The jar breaks and the butter spills everywhere. Sara is scared. She slips on the butter and falls down. She hurts her head and her arm. She cries and cries. + +Mom hears Sara cry. She runs to the kitchen. She sees the mess and Sara on the floor. She is angry and worried. She picks up Sara and hugs her. She says, "Sara, what did you do? You are not safe. You are not careful. You are naughty. No more singing for you today. You need to go to your room and be quiet." + +Sara feels sad and sorry. She says, "I'm sorry, Mom. I just wanted to sing. I like to sing. Please don't be mad at me." But Mom does not listen. She takes Sara to her room and shuts the door. Sara sits on her bed and cries. She does not want to sing anymore. She does not feel happy. She does not feel safe. She feels alone. +Lily liked to play dress-up with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Anna. Anna had a long dress, a shiny crown, and a big smile. Lily pretended that Anna was a princess who lived in a castle. + +One day, Lily and Anna went to the park with Mommy. Lily saw a big slide, a swing, and a sandbox. She wanted to play with everything. She ran to the slide and put Anna on her lap. "Weee!" she said as they slid down. Then she ran to the swing and pushed Anna back and forth. "Whee!" she said as they flew in the air. Then she ran to the sandbox and made a cake with Anna. "Yum!" she said as they pretended to eat. + +But then, Lily heard a voice. "Hey, that's my doll!" the voice said. Lily looked up and saw a girl with curly hair and a pink dress. The girl was pointing at Anna. Lily felt scared and confused. She hugged Anna and said, "No, this is my doll. Her name is Anna. She is a princess." + +The girl came closer and looked at Anna. She frowned and said, "No, this is my doll. Her name is Elsa. She is a princess too. See, she has a crown and a dress like mine. You took her from my house. Give her back!" + +Lily shook her head and said, "No, no, no. This is not Elsa. This is Anna. She is my doll. I got her for my birthday. She lives with me. Go away!" + +Mommy heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw Lily and the girl arguing over the doll. She recognized the doll and the girl. She knew they were neighbors and friends. She smiled and said, "Hello, Emma. How are you today?" + +Emma looked at Mommy and said, "Hello, Mrs. Lee. I'm fine, thank you. But Lily has my doll. She took Elsa from my house. She won't give her back." + +Mommy looked at Lily and said, "Lily, is this true? Did you take Emma's doll?" + +Lily looked at Mommy and said, "No, Mommy. This is not Emma's doll. This is my doll. Her name is Anna. She is a princess. I love her." + +Mommy looked at the doll again and realized what had happened. She said, "Oh, I see. You both have the same doll. They look very similar, but they are not the same. Emma's doll is Elsa, and Lily's doll is Anna. They are sisters. They are from a movie called Frozen. Have you seen it?" + +Emma and Lily looked at each other and said, "No, we haven't." + +Mommy said, "Well, maybe you can watch it together sometime. It's a very nice movie. It's about love and friendship and magic. And it has a lot of songs. Do you like songs?" + +Emma and Lily nodded and said, "Yes, we do." + +Mommy said, "Good. Then maybe you can sing along with Elsa and Anna. They have a very beautiful song called Let It Go. Do you want to hear it?" + +Emma and Lily said, "Yes, please." + +Mommy took out her phone and played the song. Emma and Lily listened and smiled. They liked the song. They liked the dolls. They liked each other. They decided to share the dolls and play together. They were quiet and happy. Mommy was happy too. She hugged them and said, "You are both very sweet and smart. You are both princesses too." +Tom and Lily were playing with their dolls on Tuesday. They liked to pretend that their dolls were their babies and they had to take care of them. Tom had a blue doll and Lily had a pink doll. + +"Look, my baby is hungry," Lily said. "I will give her some milk." + +She picked up a toy bottle and put it in her doll's mouth. Some milk spilled on the doll's face and clothes. + +"Oh no, she is messy," Lily said. "I need to wipe her." + +She looked around for a cloth, but she could not find one. She saw Tom's doll lying on the floor. + +"Can I use your doll's blanket to wipe my baby?" she asked Tom. + +Tom was compassionate. He liked to share and help his friends. He nodded and handed Lily his doll's blanket. + +"Here you go, Lily," he said. "You can use it to wipe your baby." + +Lily smiled and thanked Tom. She used the blanket to wipe her doll's face and clothes. She made sure the blanket was not too wet or dirty. + +"Here, Tom, you can have your blanket back," she said. "Your baby might be cold." + +She gave the blanket back to Tom. He wrapped it around his doll and hugged it. + +"Thank you, Lily," he said. "You are a good friend." + +They continued to play with their dolls and had fun. They were happy and kind to each other. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play pretend. One day, they decided to be lions and go to the station. They put on their yellow hats and scarves and grabbed their toy tickets. + +"Come on, Ben, let's roar and scare the people!" Lily said. + +"OK, Lily, but don't roar too loud. We don't want to make them angry," Ben said. + +They ran to the station and saw a big train. It was red and shiny and had a loud whistle. Lily and Ben thought it was very attractive. They wanted to ride on it. + +"Look, Ben, there's the train! Let's go and see it!" Lily said. + +They ran to the train and climbed on the steps. They saw a man in a blue uniform. He was the driver. He smiled at them and said hello. + +"Hello, little lions. Do you have tickets?" he asked. + +Lily and Ben showed him their toy tickets. He pretended to check them and nodded. + +"OK, you can come in. But be careful, this train is very fast and noisy. It might make you roar," he said. + +Lily and Ben giggled and thanked him. They went inside the train and found a seat. They looked out the window and saw the station. They saw people and cars and birds. They saw a big clock and a sign that said "Next stop: Zoo". + +"Wow, Ben, this is so fun! Do you think we'll see real lions at the zoo?" Lily asked. + +"Maybe, Lily. Maybe they'll roar at us and we'll roar back," Ben said. + +They smiled and hugged each other. They were happy to be lions and to go to the zoo. They waited for the train to start and to hear the whistle. They were ready to roar. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with dolls and cars. One day, they find a new doll in the toy box. It has long, dry hair and a pretty dress. + +"Can I play with the doll?" Lily asks. + +"No, it is mine!" Ben says. He holds the doll tight. + +"But I want to play with it too!" Lily says. She tries to pull the doll from Ben. + +"Stop it! You will break it!" Ben says. He pushes Lily away. + +Lily is sad and angry. She runs to her mom and tells her what Ben did. Mom hugs Lily and says, "That was not nice of Ben. Maybe he will share if you offer him something else." + +Lily thinks for a moment. She remembers that Ben likes cars. She has a red car that she does not play with much. She goes back to Ben and says, "Ben, I am sorry I pulled the doll. Do you want to play with my red car?" + +Ben looks at the car. He likes red cars. He says, "OK, I will play with your car. And you can play with the doll." + +Lily smiles and says, "Thank you, Ben. You are a good friend." + +They swap the toys and play happily together. The doll's hair is still dry, but Lily does not mind. She thinks it is beautiful. +Ben and Lily were twins. They liked to play together in their room. They had many toys and books and games. They also liked to talk and laugh and sing. + +One day, their mom said, "Ben and Lily, it is time for lunch.

Lunch is ready. It is yummy and healthy. Come on, don't be silly." But Ben and Lily did not listen. They said, "No, mom, we are not hungry. We want to play more." + +Their mom said, "Ben and Lily, this is the last time I ask you. Come to the kitchen, now. Or you will be in trouble." But Ben and Lily did not care. They said, "No, mom, we are having fun. We want to play more." And they shut the door of their room. + +Their mom was very angry. She said, "Ben and Lily, you are very naughty. You are not listening to me. You are not being nice. You are not part of the family. You are missing the lunch. You are missing the surprise. You are missing the brilliant cake I made for you." And she walked away. + +Ben and Lily heard their mom. They felt sorry. They did not want to be naughty. They did not want to miss the lunch. They did not want to miss the surprise.

She said, "Ben and Lily, I am glad you are sorry. I love you too. You can have some lunch. You can have some surprise. You can have some brilliant cake. But first, you have to say sorry to each other. And you have to hug and kiss. And you have to promise to listen to me next time." + +Ben and Lily said sorry to each other. They hugged and kissed. They promised to listen to their mom next time. They ate their lunch. They had their surprise. They had their brilliant cake. They were happy. They were part of the family. +Lily and Tom are playing with cubes. They like to build towers and houses with them. Some cubes are red, some are blue, some are yellow and some are green. + +"Look, Lily, I made a big tower with red cubes!" Tom says. He is proud of his tower. + +"That is nice, Tom. But I like yellow cubes more. They are bright and pretty." Lily says. She shows Tom her house with yellow cubes. + +They play for a while, until they hear a noise. It is Max, their dog. He runs into the room and sees the cubes. He thinks they are toys for him. He jumps on them and knocks them down. He bites some of them and makes them dirty. + +"Max, no! Bad dog!" Tom shouts. He is angry and sad. His tower is gone and his cubes are dirty. + +"Max, stop! Go away!" Lily cries. She is scared and upset. Her house is broken and her cubes are dirty. + +Max does not listen. He keeps playing with the cubes. He does not know he is making Lily and Tom unhappy. He thinks he is having fun. + +Lily and Tom run to their mom. They tell her what Max did. Mom is sorry for them. She goes to the room and calls Max. She tells him to leave the cubes alone. She takes him to the garden and gives him a ball. She says he can play with the ball, but not with the cubes. + +She comes back to the room and helps Lily and Tom. She picks up the cubes and cleans them. She says they can play with them again. She says they can name the cubes if they want. She says naming things can make them special. + +Lily and Tom smile. They thank mom. They start to play with the cubes again. They name some of them. They name the red ones Ruby, the blue ones Sky, the yellow ones Sunny and the green ones Leaf. They think the names are nice. They build new towers and houses with them. They are happy. +Tom liked to help his mom with work. She had a big red book with many words and pictures. She said it was for her job. Tom wanted to see the book, but mom did not permit him. She said it was not for kids. + +One day, mom had to go out for a while. She told Tom to be good and not touch her work. She left the book on the table. Tom was curious. He wanted to look at the book. He thought mom would not know. He climbed on a chair and reached for the book. + +But the book was heavy. Tom could not hold it. It fell on the floor with a loud thud. Some of the pages tore. Tom was scared. He knew he did something bad. He tried to fix the book, but he could not. He hid under the bed and cried. + +Mom came back soon. She heard the noise and saw the book on the floor. She was angry and sad. She looked for Tom and found him under the bed. She asked him why he touched her work. Tom said he was sorry. He said he just wanted to see the book. + +Mom hugged Tom and said she loved him. She said she understood he was curious, but he should not touch her work without permission. She said it was important and hard to replace. She said he had to learn to respect her things. She said she would forgive him, but he had to promise not to do it again. + +Tom nodded and said he promised. He said he loved mom and he was sorry. Mom smiled and said it was okay. She said they would find a way to fix the book. She said they could read another book together, one that was for kids. Tom was happy. He said he liked that idea.

They hugged and went to read a book. +Lily liked to polish her cardboard crown. She used a soft cloth and some water to make it shiny. She felt like a princess when she wore it. + +One day, she saw a big cake on the table. It looked delicious. It had pink frosting and sprinkles. Lily wanted a slice, but Mom said no. She said the cake was for Grandma's birthday. + +Lily was sad. She went to her room and put on her cardboard crown. She pretended it was a cake. She said, "Happy birthday to me!" and took a bite. + +But the cardboard was not delicious. It was dry and hard. It hurt her teeth and made her mouth feel funny. Lily spit it out and cried. + +Mom heard her and came to see what was wrong. She saw the cardboard crown with a bite mark. She hugged Lily and said, "I'm sorry, sweetie. That was not a good idea. Cardboard is not for eating. It's for making things." + +She took Lily to the kitchen and gave her a glass of milk and a cookie. She said, "This is for you. It's delicious. And you can have a slice of cake later, when Grandma comes. OK?" + +Lily nodded and smiled. She said, "OK, Mom. Thank you. I love you." She ate her cookie and drank her milk. She felt better.

They liked to throw and catch the ball and run around. Sometimes they pretended to be famous players and hit the ball with a stick. + +One time, Sam threw the ball very hard and Lily missed it. The ball rolled away and went into a big pile of trash. Lily ran after the ball and tried to get it out. But the trash was disgusting. It smelled bad and had sticky and slimy things on it. + +"Yuck!" Lily said. "This is gross!" + +She saw the ball under a banana peel and reached for it. But when she touched the peel, something moved. It was a worm! The worm was long and pink and it twisted on the peel. Lily screamed and dropped the ball. + +"Help!" she cried. "There's a worm on the ball!" + +Sam heard Lily and ran to her.

She puts the toys that are round in a third pile. + +Anna finds a belt in the box. She does not know what it is. She tries to put it in a pile, but it does not fit. It is not soft or hard or round. It is long and smooth and bendy. She holds it in her hands and looks at it. + +Anna has an idea. She wraps the belt around her waist. She makes a knot. She feels like a princess. She smiles and twirls. She shows her mom her new dress. Mom laughs and hugs her. She tells her she is very clever and pretty. Anna is happy.

He spills his juice and milk. He scribbles on the walls. + +Anna's mom tells her to help Tom be tidy. She says, "Anna, you are a big girl. You can urge Tom to put his things away. You can show him how to use a napkin and a crayon. You can be a good example for him." + +Anna tries to urge Tom to be tidy. She says, "Tom, please pick up your toys. They belong in the box. Tom, please wipe your mouth. You have juice on your chin. Tom, please draw on the paper. The wall is not for drawing." + +But Tom does not listen. He laughs and runs away. He makes more mess.

They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big pile of wood near the fence. They wanted to build something with it. + +"Let's make a house!" Lily said. + +"OK!" Tom said. + +They ran to the wood and started to pick up the pieces. They put them together on the grass. They made a wall and a door and a roof. They were very busy. + +But then a big boy came. He was mean and rude. He saw the house and laughed. + +"What is this? A house for ants?" he said. + +He kicked the house and broke it. The wood fell down. Lily and Tom were sad and angry. + +"Hey! Stop that!" Lily shouted. + +"Go away! This is our house!" Tom said. + +The big boy did not listen. He kicked the house again and again. He made a big mess. + +Lily and Tom ran to him and pushed him.

They wanted to see what was there, so they ran up the hill. + +"Wow, look at all the mist!" Jill said. "It is like a cloud. I want to touch it." + +"Me too," Tom said. "Maybe we can own some mist and take it home." + +They reached out their hands and felt the mist. It was cold and wet and made them shiver. They tried to grab some mist, but it slipped through their fingers. + +"Hey, this is not fun," Tom said. "Let's go back." + +But when they turned around, they saw that the mist had covered the whole park. They could not see the trees, the swings, or the path. They could not see their mommies or daddies, who were waiting for them. + +"Where are we?" Jill asked. "I can't see anything. I'm scared." + +"Me too," Tom said. "I'm anxious. I want to go home." + +They started to cry and call for help, but no one heard them. The mist was too thick and too quiet. They were lost and alone in the mist. They did not own anything. They did not have any friends. They did not have any hope. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but their favorite ones were a doll and a car. They took good care of their toys and never fought over them. + +One day, their mom told them that they had to sell some of their toys. She said they had too many toys and not enough space. She also said they could use the money to buy something new. Lily and Ben did not like this idea. They did not want to sell their toys. They felt miserable. + +They went to the yard sale with their mom and put their toys on a table. Many people came to look at their toys. Some people wanted to buy their doll and their car. Lily and Ben said no. They held their toys tightly and shook their heads. They did not want to let go of their toys. + +Then, a little girl came to the table. She had no toys of her own.

They put their boats in the water and make waves. + +"Look, my boat is fast!" Ben says. He pushes his boat with his hand. + +"My boat is big!" Sam says. He has a boat with a sail. He blows on the sail and his boat moves. + +They play for a long time. They pretend they are sailors. They go to different ports and serve food and toys to the people there. + +"Hello, port!" Ben says. He stops his boat at a corner of the tub. "Do you want some pizza?" + +"Yes, please!" Sam says. He brings his boat to the same corner. "And do you want some candy?" + +"Sure!" Ben says. They share their food and toys. They are happy. + +The sun is bright in the sky. It makes the water sparkle. Ben and Sam smile. They love to play with boats. They are good friends. +Sara and Ben are playing with blocks. They want to make a big tower. They put many blocks on top of each other. They are happy. + +But then, Tom comes. Tom is mean. He does not like to share. He wants all the blocks for himself. He pushes Sara and Ben away. He takes their blocks. He breaks their tower. + +Sara and Ben are sad and angry. They scream at Tom. They say, "Stop! Those are our blocks! You are not good! You are bad!" + +Tom does not listen. He laughs. He says, "No, they are my blocks! You are silly! You are babies!" + +Sara and Ben do not give up. They look around. They see a board. The board is big and hard. They have an idea. They pick up the board. They run to Tom. They hit him with the board. Tom falls down. He cries. He says, "Ow! Ow! Ow! That hurts!" + +Sara and Ben say, "Now you know how we feel! You should be nice! You should share!" + +Tom says, "Sorry! Sorry! Sorry! I will be nice! I will share!" + +Sara and Ben are good. They help Tom up. They give him some blocks. They say, "Let's play together. Let's make a bigger tower." + +Tom says, "OK. OK. OK. Let's play together. Let's make a bigger tower." + +They play together. They make a bigger tower. They are happy. +Tim and Sam were friends who liked to play baseball. They had a big field near their houses where they could throw and catch and hit the ball. They had fun every day after school. + +One day, a new boy came to the field. His name was Max and he had a shiny new baseball bat and glove. He said he wanted to play with Tim and Sam, but he had some rules. He said he always had to bat first, he always had to pitch, and he always had to win. He said his dad bought him the best equipment and he was the best player. + +Tim and Sam did not like Max's rules. They said baseball was a game for everyone, not just for him. They said he had to share and take turns and be fair. They said he was spoiled and rude and selfish. + +Max did not listen. He said he did not care what they said. He said he did not need friends, he only needed baseball. He said he would play by himself and they could go away. + +Tim and Sam felt sad and angry. They decided to leave Max alone and find another place to play. They said they did not want to play with someone who did not understand how to be a good friend. They said they hoped Max would learn his lesson someday. + +The moral of the story is: Being spoiled and selfish does not make you happy or popular. You need to share and take turns and be fair if you want to have fun and make friends. Baseball is a game for everyone, not just for you. +Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play at the beach. They make sand castles and dig holes. They also like to splash in the water. + +One day, the water is rough. Big waves come and go. Tim and Sam are careful. They stay close to Mom and Dad. They hold hands and jump over the waves. + +"Look, Sam, a big wave!" Tim says. He points to the water. + +"Wow, let's jump!" Sam says. He smiles. + +They run to the wave. But the wave is too fast. It pushes them back. Tim and Sam fall down. They get wet and sandy. + +"Ouch, that hurt!" Tim says. He rubs his nose. + +"Are you okay, Tim?" Sam says. He helps him up. + +"I'm okay, Sam. But that was a mean wave!" Tim says. + +They look at the wave. It goes away. They see another wave coming. + +"Let's try again, Tim. Maybe this wave is nice!" Sam says. + +"Okay, Sam. But be careful!" Tim says. + +They hold hands and run to the wave. They hope it will not push them again. +Lila and Ben are friends. They like to play with blocks. They build towers and houses and bridges. They count how many blocks they have. Lila has ten blocks. Ben has eight blocks. + +"Can I have one of your blocks, Lila?" Ben asks. "I want to make my tower taller." + +Lila thinks. She likes her blocks. But she also likes Ben. She is generous. She gives Ben one of her blocks. + +"Thank you, Lila!" Ben says. "You are very kind. Now we both have nine blocks." + +They smile and hug. They are happy. They keep playing with their blocks. They make their towers taller and taller. They have fun. They feel power. They are proud of their work. +Sara and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big truck stop near their house. The truck had many packages inside. Sara and Ben were curious and wanted to see what was in the packages. + +They ran to the truck and climbed inside. They opened some of the packages and found toys, books, and clothes. They were very happy and started to play with them. They did not hear the truck driver come back and close the door. + +The truck started to move and Sara and Ben were scared. They did not know where they were going. They shouted for help, but no one heard them. They wished they had not gone inside the truck. + +Meanwhile, their mom was looking for them. She saw the truck leave and noticed that some of the packages were open. She realized that Sara and Ben were in the truck. She called the police and told them what happened. The police followed the truck and stopped it. + +The police opened the door and saw Sara and Ben. They were crying and hugging each other. The police rescued them and brought them back to their mom. Their mom was very happy and relieved. She hugged them and kissed them. She also scolded them for being naughty and told them not to go inside strangers' trucks. + +Sara and Ben learned their lesson. They said sorry to their mom and the truck driver. They also said thank you to the police. They understood that they should not touch other people's things and that they should stay safe. They never went inside a truck again. They thought that the police were incredible and that their mom was the best. +Lily and Ben like to play with blocks. They have many blocks of different colors and shapes. They can build many things with blocks. + +One day, they decide to build a big tower with blocks. They stack the blocks one on top of another, higher and higher. They are very careful not to make the tower fall. + +"Look, Lily, our tower is so tall!" Ben says. + +"Yes, Ben, it is very tall. But it is not pretty. It needs something on the top," Lily says. + +"What can we put on the top?" Ben asks. + +Lily thinks for a moment. Then she has an idea. She runs to her room and comes back with a doll. The doll has long hair and a pretty dress. + +"Let's put the doll on the top. She can be the queen of the tower," Lily says. + +"OK, Lily, that is a good idea. But how can we put her on the top? The tower is too high for us," Ben says. + +Lily looks around and sees a chair. She drags the chair to the tower and climbs on it. She holds the doll in her hands and reaches for the top of the tower. + +"Be careful, Lily. Don't fall," Ben says. + +"I won't fall, Ben. I am almost there," Lily says. + +She places the doll on the top of the tower, on the head of the last block. The doll smiles and waves her hand. + +"Yay, we did it! Our tower is so pretty now!" Lily says. + +"Yes, Lily, it is very pretty. And the doll is very happy. She likes to be the queen of the tower," Ben says. + +They clap their hands and hug each other. They are very proud of their tower. They play with the tower and the doll for a long time. They have a lot of fun. +Lily was a little girl who liked to gaze at the stars. She wanted to know more about them, so she asked her dad to take her to the lab. The lab was a big place where people did experiments and learned new things. + +When they got to the lab, Lily saw many machines and tools. She was curious and wanted to touch them, but her dad said no. He said they were dangerous and could hurt her. He told her to stay quiet and follow him. + +But Lily did not listen. She saw a shiny button and pressed it. Suddenly, a loud alarm went off and red lights flashed. Lily was scared and started to cry. Her dad ran to her and hugged her. He said they had to leave quickly. + +They ran out of the lab and saw many people looking at them. Some of them were angry and some of them were worried. They asked Lily's dad what happened and why he brought a child to the lab. Lily's dad said he was sorry and tried to explain. + +Lily felt bad and said sorry too. She said she just wanted to learn about the stars. She said she would not touch anything again. The people calmed down and said it was okay. They said they understood and they liked the stars too. They said they would show her some pictures and books about the stars. Lily smiled and thanked them. She still wanted to gaze at the stars, but she learned to be careful and quiet in the lab. +Ben and Lily were having breakfast with their dad. They liked to eat sausages and eggs and toast. Dad cooked the sausages in a pan and put them on a plate. He told Ben and Lily to be careful, because the sausages were hot. + +Ben and Lily each took a sausage and bit into it. They made yummy noises and smiled. They liked sausages a lot. They also ate some eggs and toast and drank some juice. They were very happy. + +But then, Ben had an idea. He wanted to play a game with his sausage. He said to Lily, "Look, Lily, I can make my sausage fly!" He threw his sausage in the air and tried to catch it in his mouth. But he missed. The sausage flew over his head and landed on the floor. + +Lily laughed. She thought it was funny. She said, "Ben, you are silly! You can't make your sausage fly. You can only make it dive!" She picked up her sausage and pretended to dive it into her juice. She made a splash sound and giggled. + +Dad heard the noise and came to see what was going on. He saw Ben and Lily playing with their sausages and making a mess. He saw juice and crumbs and bits of sausage on the table and the floor. He was not happy. He said, "Ben and Lily, stop that right now! You are not supposed to play with your food. You are supposed to eat it. Look at this messy mess! You need to clean it up and say sorry." + +Ben and Lily stopped playing. They looked at their dad and felt sorry. They said, "Sorry, dad. We were just having fun. We didn't mean to make a mess." They helped their dad to clean up the table and the floor. They also finished their breakfast and said thank you. + +Dad hugged them and said, "It's okay, Ben and Lily. I know you were just having fun. But next time, please don't play with your food. Food is for eating, not for diving or flying. And sausages are not toys. They are yummy and hot and tasty. Do you understand?" + +Ben and Lily nodded and said, "Yes, dad. We understand. We won't play with our food again. We love you, dad. And we love sausages, too." +Lily and Sam like to ride their bikes in the park. They always wear their helmets to be safe. One day, they see a big hill and want to go down it very fast. Lily goes first and Sam follows her. + +But Lily does not see a big rock on the path. She hits the rock and falls off her bike. Her helmet breaks and she hurts her head. She starts to cry and yell for help. + +Sam hears Lily yell and stops his bike. He runs to her and sees her broken helmet and her blood. He is very scared and yells for help too. + +A man and a woman hear the children yell and come to see what is wrong. They see Lily and Sam and call 911. They try to calm them down and tell them they will be okay. + +Soon, an ambulance comes and takes Lily and Sam to the hospital. The doctors and nurses check them and give them bandages and stickers. They tell them they are brave and lucky. They say their helmets saved them from worse injuries. + +Lily and Sam hug each other and thank the man and the woman who helped them. They promise to be more careful next time they ride their bikes. They also ask for new helmets that are not broken. +Lily and Tom are playing with paper. They like to fold the paper and make shapes. Lily folds a paper into a square. Tom folds a paper into a triangle. + +"Look, I made a square!" Lily says, holding up her paper. + +"Look, I made a triangle!" Tom says, holding up his paper. + +They show each other their papers and smile. + +"Can we make more shapes?" Lily asks. + +"Sure, let's try!" Tom says. + +They fold more papers and make more shapes. They make circles, stars, hearts, and flowers. They have fun and learn new words. + +But then, Lily sees a paper that Tom folded. It is a hand. A paper hand. + +"Tom, why did you fold a hand?" Lily asks, pointing at the paper. + +Tom looks at the paper and shrugs. + +"I don't know. I just folded it like this." He says, showing her how he folded the paper. + +Lily looks at the paper hand and then at her own hand. She sees that they are the same shape. + +"Wow, you are clever, Tom. You folded a hand that looks like a real hand." She says, admiring the paper. + +Tom smiles and blushes. + +"Thank you, Lily. You are clever too. You folded many shapes that look nice." He says, admiring her papers. + +They look at each other and hold hands. Their hands are warm and mild. They feel happy and proud. They are friends. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and run after it. They were having fun and laughing. + +But then a big boy came and took their ball. He said, "This is my ball now. You are too small and stupid to play with it." He kicked the ball away and ran off. + +Tom and Lily were sad and angry. They wanted their ball back. They tried to chase the big boy, but he was too fast and mean. He kicked the ball over the fence and into the street. + +Tom and Lily stopped and cried. They hurt their knees on the grass. They wished their mom was here to help them. + +A nice lady saw them and came over. She said, "What's wrong, little ones? Why are you crying?" + +Tom and Lily told her what happened. They showed her their knees and their ball in the street. + +The lady said, "That was very rude and unkind of the big boy. He should not have taken your ball or hurt your knees. I'm sorry you had such a bad day. Do you want me to get your ball for you?" + +Tom and Lily nodded. They said, "Yes, please. Thank you, lady." + +The lady went to the street and got their ball. She gave it back to Tom and Lily. She said, "Here you go. This is your ball. You can play with it as much as you want. You are not stupid. You are smart and brave and sweet." + +Tom and Lily smiled. They said, "Thank you, lady. You are very nice and helpful. We like you." + +The lady said, "You're welcome, little ones. I like you too. Do you want to come with me to my house? I have some cookies and juice and a soft couch. You can nap there if you want. You must be tired after all this running and crying." + +Tom and Lily looked at each other. They liked the idea of cookies and juice and a nap. They said, "Yes, please. We want to go with you. Can we call our mom first?" + +The lady said, "Of course. You can use my phone. Let's go then. I live just around the corner. Come on, hold my hand." + +Tom and Lily held the lady's hand and walked with her. They felt better and happier. They hoped the big boy would learn to be nice and share.

Sara thinks yoga is fun and good for her. She likes to copy her mom and try new shapes. + +One day, Sara and her mom are doing yoga in the living room. They have a mat and some music. Sara sees her mom do a shape that looks like a bridge. She wants to try it too. She puts her feet and hands on the mat and lifts her tummy up. She feels strong and happy. + +But then, Sara hears a noise. It is her cat, Fluffy. Fluffy is curious and wants to play. He jumps on the mat and runs under Sara. Sara is surprised and loses her balance. She falls down on the mat. She feels a little ouchy and sad. + +Her mom sees what happens and runs to Sara. She hugs her and kisses her ouchy. She tells her that she is proud of her for trying something original and hard. She says that falling is part of learning and that she can try again later.

It can talk and sing. + +"Hello, hello, hello!" the bird says. + +"Wow, a talking bird!" Tim says. "Can we play with you?" + +"Sure, sure, sure!" the bird says. "But you have to open the cage first." + +Tim and Kim look at the cage. It has a lock and a key. The key is on a hook near the cage. + +"Can we have the key?" Kim asks. + +"No, no, no!" the bird says. "The key is mine, mine, mine!" + +"But how can we open the cage?" Tim asks. + +"You have to be clever, clever, clever!" the bird says. "You have to guess my name. If you guess right, I will yield the key. If you guess wrong, you have to go away." + +Tim and Kim think hard. They try to guess the bird's name. + +"Is it Polly?" Kim asks. + +"No, no, no!" the bird says. + +"Is it Bluey?" Tim asks. + +"No, no, no!" the bird says. + +"Is it Sunny?" Kim asks. + +"Yes, yes, yes!" the bird says. "You are clever, clever, clever! You guessed my name. I will yield the key." + +The bird gives the key to Kim. Kim opens the cage and lets the bird out. + +"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" the bird says. "You are nice, nice, nice! You freed me from the cage. Now I can fly and be happy." + +The bird flies away, singing a song. + +"Bye, bye, bye!" the bird says. + +"Bye, Sunny!" Tim and Kim say. + +They smile and wave at the bird. They are happy too. They learned a new word: yield. It means to give or let go. They also learned that birds are clever and need to be free.

They say, "Thank you, Lila and Tom. You are very good friends. We like paper too." +Tim and Sam were friends who liked to play with cars. They had many cars of different colors and sizes. They liked to race their cars on the floor and see who was faster. One day, Tim got a new car from his mom. It was a big red car that could speed very fast. Tim was very happy with his new car and wanted to show it to Sam. + +"Look at my new car, Sam!" Tim said. "It can speed faster than any of your cars. It is the best car ever!" + +Sam looked at Tim's new car and felt envious. He wished he had a car like that. He did not like that Tim was bragging about his new car. He wanted to make Tim feel bad. + +"That is not a real car, Tim," Sam said. "It is just a toy. It cannot do anything. It is boring and silly. My cars are better than your car. They can do tricks and make noises. Your car is nothing." + +Tim felt angry and hurt by Sam's words. He loved his new car and did not think it was boring or silly. He wanted to prove Sam wrong. He wanted to show him that his car could do more than Sam's cars. + +"Oh yeah?" Tim said. "Let's have a race then. My car can speed faster than any of your cars. I bet you I can beat you in a race. If I win, you have to give me one of your cars. If you win, I will give you my new car." + +Sam agreed to the race. He thought he could win and get Tim's new car. He did not care about losing one of his cars. He picked his fastest car and got ready to race. Tim and Sam lined up their cars on the floor and counted to three. + +"One, two, three, go!" they shouted and pushed their cars. + +Tim's new car speeded ahead of Sam's car. It was very fast and shiny. Sam's car tried to catch up, but it was too slow. Tim's new car was winning the race. Tim smiled and cheered for his new car. + +But then, something bad happened. Tim's new car speeded too fast and hit a book on the floor. The book was a dictionary that Tim's mom used to learn new words. It was very big and heavy. When Tim's new car hit the dictionary, it broke into pieces. The wheels, the doors, the windows, everything fell off. Tim's new car was ruined. + +Tim stopped smiling and cheering. He felt sad and shocked. He could not believe what he saw. His new car was gone. He ran to his new car and tried to put it back together, but it was no use. It was too broken. He started to cry. + +Sam saw what happened and felt happy. He did not care that he lost the race. He was glad that Tim's new car was broken. He thought Tim deserved it for being mean and boastful. He did not feel sorry for Tim. He felt envious no more. + +"Ha ha ha!" Sam laughed. "Look at your new car, Tim! It is not so fast and shiny now. It is just a pile of junk. It is the worst car ever. You are a loser, Tim. You are a loser and I am a winner. Give me your new car, Tim. You owe me your new car." + +Tim looked at Sam and felt angry and betrayed. He did not want to give Sam his new car, even if it was broken. He did not think Sam was a winner. He thought Sam was a bully and a bad friend. He did not want to play with Sam anymore. He picked up his new car and ran to his mom. He told her what happened and asked her to help him. + +Sam stayed on the floor and laughed. He did not care that Tim was gone. He did not care that Tim was sad. He did not care that he had no friend. He only cared about his cars. He played with his cars and felt happy. He did not know that he was lonely. + +The end. +Lily and Max were best friends. They liked to play in the park every day. Lily had a dog named Spot. Spot was very friendly and liked to run and jump. Max had a cat named Fluffy. Fluffy was very shy and liked to hide and nap. + +One day, Lily and Max went to the park with Spot and Fluffy. Lily put a leash on Spot, so he would not run away. Max put Fluffy in a basket, so he would not get scared. They walked to the swings and took turns to swing high and low. They had a lot of fun. + +"Look at me, Lily! I can swing higher than you!" Max said. + +"No, you can't, Max! I can swing higher than you!" Lily said. + +They laughed and swung faster and faster. They did not see a big hole in the ground. Spot saw the hole and barked. He wanted to warn them. But Lily and Max did not hear him. They were too busy swinging. + +Suddenly, Lily's swing broke. She fell off and landed in the hole. She hurt her knee and cried. Max stopped swinging and ran to help her. He saw Spot pulling on the leash. He understood that Spot was trying to help. He thanked Spot and gave him a hug. + +"Are you okay, Lily?" Max asked. + +"It hurts, Max. I want to go home." Lily said. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. It was my fault. I should have listened to Spot. He is a good dog." Max said. + +"It's okay, Max. You are a good friend. You came to help me. Spot is a good dog, too. He saved me." Lily said. + +They got out of the hole and walked back to the basket. Fluffy was still sleeping. He did not know what happened. They picked up Fluffy and Spot and went home. They learned a lesson. They learned to pay attention to their surroundings and to their pets. They were lucky that nothing worse happened. They were lucky to have each other and their pets. They hugged and said sorry and thank you. They were still best friends. +Lily and Ben were going to the park with Mom. They liked to play on the swings and slide. But Mom said they had to delay. She had to finish some work on her laptop. + +"Mom, can we go now?" Lily asked. She was bored. + +"Soon, honey. Just a few more minutes," Mom said. + +Ben saw a mosquito on the window. He wanted to catch it. He got up from the couch and ran to the window. He tried to slap the mosquito with his hand, but he missed. The mosquito flew away. + +"Ha ha, you are too slow!" Lily teased him. + +"No, I'm not. The mosquito is too fast!" Ben said. + +He chased the mosquito around the room. He knocked over a lamp and a vase. Mom heard the noise and looked up from her laptop. + +"Ben, what are you doing? Stop running around and be careful!" Mom said. + +"Sorry, Mom. I was trying to catch the mosquito," Ben said. + +"Well, you can catch it outside. Come on, let's go to the park. I'm done with my work," Mom said. + +"Yay, let's go!" Lily and Ben said. + +They grabbed their coats and shoes and followed Mom to the door. They hoped the mosquito would not follow them. They did not like the mosquito. It was lazy and annoying. +Anna and Ben were playing outside with their ball. They liked to kick the ball and catch it and throw it. They had a lot of fun. But they did not see the sun go down. The sky was getting dark and the air was getting cold. + +"Let's go home now," said Anna. "It is dark and I am cold." + +"No, let's play more," said Ben. "I am not cold and I like the dark." + +Anna was scared of the dark. She did not like the shadows and the noises. She wanted to go home and be warm and safe. But Ben did not listen to her. He kept playing with the ball. + +Soon, the ball rolled away into the bushes. Ben ran after it. He could not see it in the dark. He heard a growl and a snap. He was scared. He turned around and ran back to Anna. + +"Anna, Anna, help me!" he cried. "There is a big dog in the bushes. It wants to bite me." + +Anna grabbed his hand and pulled him away. They ran to their house. They knocked on the door. Their mom opened it and hugged them. + +"Where were you?" she asked. "It is dark and cold outside. You could have been hurt." + +"We were playing with the ball," said Anna. "But Ben did not want to go home. He liked the dark. But then he lost the ball and a big dog chased him." + +"I am sorry, mom," said Ben. "I was wrong. I should have listened to Anna. The dark is not fun. It is scary and dangerous." + +Mom smiled and kissed them. She gave them some hot soup and a dry blanket. She told them a story and tucked them in bed. + +"Next time, when it gets dark, you should go home," she said. "The dark is not a place to play. It is a place to sleep and dream." + +Anna and Ben nodded. They learned their lesson. They said good night and closed their eyes. They slept well and had sweet dreams. +Sam and Lily like to draw with crayons. They have many colors and papers. One day, they see a big machine in the library. It is a printer. The printer can make copies of papers. + +"Look, Sam, we can print our drawings!" Lily says. + +"Yes, let's try it!" Sam says. + +They ask the librarian for help. She shows them how to use the printer. They put their drawings in a slot and press a button. The printer makes noises and spits out copies of their drawings. + +"Wow, this is fun!" Lily says. + +They print many copies of their drawings. They have a pile of papers. They show them to the librarian. + +"Very good, Sam and Lily. You are very creative. Do you want a trophy?" the librarian says. + +"A trophy? What is that?" Sam says. + +"A trophy is a shiny thing that you get for doing something well. Like this one." The librarian shows them a trophy on a shelf. It has a star on top and a plaque on the bottom. + +"Ooh, it is pretty!" Lily says. + +"It is rough, too. Feel it." The librarian lets them touch the trophy. + +"It is rough and cold." Sam says. + +"Do you want a trophy like this?" the librarian says. + +"Yes, please!" Sam and Lily say. + +"OK, then. You can have this trophy. It is for the best drawings in the library. You can share it and take turns to keep it at home." The librarian says. + +"Thank you, thank you!" Sam and Lily say. + +They hug the librarian and take the trophy. They are very happy. They print one more copy of their drawings and give it to the librarian as a gift.
