She urges Ben to go to the table. "No one will know. We can share it." + +Ben shakes his head. He knows it is wrong. "No, Anna. We have to wait. The cake is for later. Mom and dad and grandma and grandpa will come. They will sing and give me presents. Then we can have cake. It is fair." + +Anna is sad. She really wants the cake. She thinks Ben is mean. She tries to urge him again. "Please, Ben. Just a little bit. We can hide it. They will not see. It is your cake. You can do what you want." + +Ben is firm. He loves Anna, but he loves his family too. He wants to do the right thing. He says, "No, Anna. Stop it. You are not nice. You are greedy. I don't want to play with you. Go away." + +Anna is angry. She feels bad. She runs away. She cries. She wishes she did not urge Ben. She wishes she was fair. She wishes she was still his friend. +Lily liked to imagine things. She imagined she was a princess, a pirate, a doctor, and many other things. She liked to use her toys and books to help her imagine. Sometimes she imagined with her friends, and sometimes she imagined by herself. + +One day, Lily found a lime in the kitchen. She had never seen a lime before. It was green and round and smelled sour. She wondered what it was. She decided to imagine it was something else. She took the lime to her room and put it on her bed. + +She imagined the lime was an enormous green ball. She bounced it on the bed and threw it in the air.

She put it on her head and pretended she was a queen. + +But then, her brother Ben came into her room. He saw the lime and grabbed it. He said it was his lime and he wanted to eat it.

They did not listen to each other. They did not share. + +Their mom heard the noise and came into the room. She saw the lime and the mess. She was not happy. She took the lime from them and said they had to stop fighting. She said limes were for both playing and eating, but they had to be careful and respectful. She said they had to apologize and make up. + +Lily and Ben felt sorry. They said they were sorry and hugged each other. They decided to share the lime. They cut it in half and squeezed some juice into a glass. They drank it and made a funny face. It was very sour. They laughed. + +They also kept some pieces of the lime. They took them to their room and imagined with them. They imagined they were green stars, green coins, green buttons, and many other things.

We can be firefighters and save people." + +"Yes, let's play!" Jen says. "But we need fuel for the fire truck. Where can we get fuel?" + +Tom thinks for a moment. He sees a bottle of water on the table. He has an idea. He runs to the table and grabs the bottle. He pours some water into the fire truck's tank. + +"Here, I have fuel!" he says. "Now we can drive the fire truck and put out fires." + +Jen smiles. She gets in the fire truck with Tom. They turn on the siren and the lights. They drive around the yard, looking for fires. They see a pile of leaves. They pretend it is a fire. + +"Oh no, there is a fire!" Tom says. "We have to put it out. Jen, you use the hose. I will use the ladder." + +"OK, Tom!" Jen says. She rubs the hose and sprays water on the leaves. Tom climbs the ladder and pretends to rescue a cat. + +"Meow, meow!" he says. He holds the cat and comes down the ladder. He gives the cat to Jen. + +"Good job, Jen!" he says. "We put out the fire and saved the cat. We are brave firefighters." + +"Good job, Tom!" Jen says. She hugs the cat and rubs its fur.

They liked to play with toys, draw pictures and share snacks. One day, they had a big fight. Lily wanted to play with Ben's red car, but Ben said no. He said it was his favorite toy and he did not want to share. Lily got angry and grabbed the car from Ben. Ben got angry and pushed Lily. They both started to cry and yell. + +Mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw Lily and Ben with the red car and tears in their eyes.

She said they should say sorry to each other and hug. She said they should forgive each other and be friends again. + +Lily and Ben looked at each other. They felt sorry for what they did. They said sorry and hugged. They said they forgive each other and they are still best friends. Mom smiled and said she was proud of them. She said they were good and reliable children.

They do not forget to share. +Tom and Sam were brothers who lived on a big ranch with many animals. They liked to feed the cows, the horses, the pigs and the chickens every day. They also liked to play with their dog, Spot, who was very unique. He had one black ear and one white ear, and he could do many tricks. + +One day, Tom and Sam decided to feed the animals by themselves, without their mom and dad. They took some buckets of food and went to the barn. They fed the cows and the horses, and then they went to the pigs. They saw a big pig with a curly tail and a pink nose. They thought he looked funny and cute. + +"Hello, piggy," Tom said. "Do you want some food?" + +"Yes, please," the pig said. + +Tom and Sam were very surprised. They had never heard a pig talk before. + +"Wow, you can talk!" Sam said. "You are very unique, like Spot." + +"Thank you," the pig said. "You are very nice. Can you come closer, please? I want to tell you a secret." + +Tom and Sam were curious. They wanted to hear the pig's secret. They put down their buckets and walked closer to the pig. The pig smiled and opened his mouth. + +But the pig did not tell them a secret. He bit them with his sharp teeth. He was very hungry and he wanted to eat them. Tom and Sam screamed and tried to run away, but it was too late. The pig ate them up and licked his lips. He was very happy and full. + +The end. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toy cars on the floor. They liked to make them zoom and crash and honk. Lily had a red car and Ben had a blue car. They pretended they were driving on a big road with lots of other cars. + +"Beep beep! Move out of the way!" Lily said, as she pushed her car past Ben's. + +"Hey, that's not fair! You can't do that!" Ben said, as he tried to catch up with her. + +"Yes, I can! I'm faster than you!" Lily said, as she turned her car around and drove it back towards Ben. + +But Lily did not see the big screen that was standing on a table behind her. She drove her car too fast and hit the screen with a loud bang. The screen wobbled and fell down with a crash. It landed on the floor, right on top of Lily's car. + +"Oh no! My car! My car!" Lily cried, as she ran to the screen and tried to lift it. But the screen was too heavy and too big for her. She could not see her car under it. + +Ben saw what happened and ran to help Lily. He was frightened that the screen might hurt her or break her car. He grabbed the screen and pulled it with all his strength. He managed to move it a little bit and saw a part of Lily's car sticking out. + +"Lily, look! Your car is still there! It's not broken!" Ben said, as he pointed to the car. + +"Really? Let me see!" Lily said, as she peeked under the screen. She saw her car and smiled. It was still red and shiny and had four wheels. She reached for it and pulled it out. + +"Thank you, Ben! You saved my car!" Lily said, as she hugged her car and then hugged Ben. + +"You're welcome, Lily! I'm glad your car is okay!" Ben said, as he hugged her back. + +They put the screen back on the table and decided to play with their cars more carefully. They drove them slowly and gently and said sorry when they bumped into each other. They had fun and were happy. +Anna and Ben were at the beach with their mom and dad. They liked to play in the sand and splash in the water. But they were not allowed to go too far, because the water was deep and there were jellyfish. + +One day, they saw a big jellyfish on the shore. It was pink and shiny and had long tentacles. Anna and Ben wanted to touch it, but their mom said no. She said jellyfish can sting and hurt. She told them to stay away from it. + +But Anna and Ben were curious. They waited until their mom and dad were busy with their picnic. Then they crept closer to the jellyfish. They whispered to each other, "Do you think it is alive? Do you think it can see us?" + +They reached out their hands to touch the jellyfish. But before they could, they heard a loud shout. It was their dad. He saw them and ran to them. He grabbed their hands and pulled them away from the jellyfish. He was angry and scared. He said, "What are you doing? Don't you know how dangerous jellyfish are? You could have been stung and hurt. You have to listen to your mom and me. We love you and we want you to be safe." + +Anna and Ben felt sorry and ashamed. They said, "We're sorry, dad. We were just curious. We won't do it again." Their dad hugged them and said, "I'm glad you're okay. But you have to be careful at the beach. There are many things that can hurt you. You have to stay close to us and follow the rules." + +Anna and Ben nodded and said, "We will, dad. We love you too." They went back to their mom and their picnic. They decided to play with their sand toys and their ball instead of the jellyfish. They had fun and they were safe. +Tom and Lily like to play at the gym. They like to run and jump and swing on the bars. But they do not like the big kids who are mean and loud. The big kids yell and push and take their toys. + +One day, Tom and Lily find a new toy in the gym. It is a shiny thing with a sharp point. They do not know what it is, but they think it is fun. They take turns to poke the air with it and make noises. + +"Zap! Zap! I am a superhero!" Tom says. + +"Pow! Pow! I am a princess!" Lily says. + +They do not see the big kids coming. The big kids see the shiny thing and want it. They run to Tom and Lily and grab the shiny thing. + +"Hey, give that back!" Tom says. + +"No, it is ours now!" one of the big kids says. + +He tries to poke Tom with the sharp point, but Tom dodges. The sharp point hits Lily in the eye. Lily screams and falls to the floor. Blood comes out of her eye. + +Tom and Lily are very scared. They cry and call for help. The big kids drop the shiny thing and run away. They do not say sorry. + +The gym teacher comes and sees what happened. He calls the ambulance and the police. He is very angry and sad. He says the shiny thing is a needle and it is very dangerous. He says Tom and Lily should not have played with it. He says the big kids are in big trouble. + +Tom and Lily go to the hospital. Lily loses her eye. She has to wear a patch. She is not a princess anymore. She is sad and hurt. Tom is sad and sorry. He wishes he never found the shiny thing. He wishes he could make Lily happy again. He is not a superhero anymore. He is a bad friend. +Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys. Sara has a doll and Ben has a car. They play together in the yard. + +One day, Sara sees a new toy in Ben's hand. It is a train. Sara likes trains. She asks Ben, "Can I play with your train?" + +Ben says, "No, this is my train. I got it from the trade. You can play with my car." + +Sara says, "But I want to play with your train. It is shiny and fast. Your car is old and slow." + +Ben says, "Sorry, Sara. You can't have my train. It is mine." + +Sara is sad. She does not want to play with Ben anymore. She goes to her doll and hugs it. + +Ben sees that Sara is sad. He feels sorry for her. He likes Sara. He thinks of a way to make her happy. + +He says, "Sara, I have an idea. Why don't we help each other? You can play with my train for a while, and I can play with your doll for a while. Then we can trade back. How does that sound?" + +Sara looks at Ben. She smiles. She says, "That sounds good, Ben. Thank you for helping me. You are a good friend." + +Ben smiles too. He says, "You are welcome, Sara. You are a good friend too." + +They trade their toys and play together. They are happy. They are busy. They have fun. +Lily and Max wanted to decorate the tree for Christmas. They asked their mom if they could help. Mom said yes, but they had to be careful and honest. She gave them some shiny balls, some lights, and some candy canes. + +Lily and Max started to hang the balls and the lights on the tree. They tried to make it look pretty and bright. But Max saw a candy cane that looked very yummy. He wanted to eat it. He thought mom would not notice. + +He took the candy cane and hid it behind his back. He said to Lily, "I have to go to the bathroom. You keep decorating the tree." He ran to his room and ate the candy cane. It was sweet and minty. + +But when he came back, he saw that mom was looking at the tree. She saw that one candy cane was missing. She asked Lily and Max, "Who took the candy cane? You have to be honest with me." + +Lily said, "I didn't take it, mom. I was decorating the tree the whole time." She looked at Max. Max felt guilty. He knew he did something wrong. He said, "I'm sorry, mom. I took the candy cane. I was hungry and it looked good. I lied to you and Lily." + +Mom was not happy. She said, "Max, that was not nice. You should not take things without asking. You should not lie to me or your sister. You have to say sorry to Lily and share the candy canes with her. And you have to help me finish decorating the tree." + +Max said, "I'm sorry, mom. I'm sorry, Lily. I will share the candy canes with you. I will help you decorate the tree. I will be honest from now on." He hugged mom and Lily. They forgave him and hugged him back. + +They finished decorating the tree together. It looked very pretty and bright. They were happy and proud. Mom said, "You did a good job, Lily and Max. You are good kids. I love you." They said, "We love you too, mom." They smiled and enjoyed the tree. +Tim and Jen are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big dog. The dog is black and white. It has a long tail and sharp teeth. + +"Let's go and pet the dog!" Tim says. He likes dogs. He runs to the dog. + +"No, Tim, stop!" Jen says. She is scared of dogs. She urges Tim to stay away from the dog. "The dog might bite you!" + +But Tim does not listen. He reaches out his hand to touch the dog. The dog growls and snaps at Tim. It bites his hand. Tim screams and cries. He drops to the ground. His hand is bleeding. + +Jen runs to Tim. She tries to help him. She is sorry for Tim. She wishes he had listened to her. + +The dog's owner comes. He is angry. He yells at Tim and Jen. He says they are bad children. He says they should not bother his dog. He says his dog is lovely and gentle. He does not care that Tim is hurt. + +He takes his dog and leaves. He does not say sorry. He does not call for help. + +Tim and Jen are alone. They are sad and scared. They do not know what to do. They wish they had never seen the dog. They wish they had stayed in the park. +Tim was an adventurous boy who liked to explore new places. One day, he saw a big hill behind his house and wanted to climb it. He asked his mom if he could go, and she said yes, but he had to be careful and come back soon. + +Tim put on his shoes and hat and ran to the hill. He saw many rocks and flowers and bugs on the way. He also saw a big tree with a hole in it. He wondered what was inside the hole. He went closer and peeked inside. He saw something shiny and round. He reached his hand inside to grab it. + +But as soon as he touched it, he felt a sharp pain in his thumb. He pulled his hand out and saw a big red mark. He had been bitten by a snake! He screamed and dropped the shiny thing. It was a metal spring that someone had left there. The snake had been hiding under it. + +Tim ran back to his house, crying and holding his thumb. His mom saw him and ran to him. She saw the bite and the spring and understood what had happened. She wrapped his thumb in a cloth and took him to the doctor. The doctor gave him some medicine and a bandage and told him he would be fine. + +Tim learned his lesson that day. He realized that being adventurous was good, but he also had to be careful and not touch things that he did not know. He decided to stay away from the big tree and the snake. He also decided to keep the spring as a souvenir of his adventure. He hoped he would find something safer and more fun to explore next time. +Ben and Mia were playing in the living room. They had many toys and books, but they wanted to do something new. They saw a pair of scissors on the table. They were shiny and sharp. + +"Let's examine the scissors," Ben said. "Maybe we can cut something with them." + +Mia nodded. She liked to examine things. She took the scissors and opened and closed them. They made a snip-snip sound. + +"Be careful," Ben said. "The scissors can hurt you. They are not a toy." + +Mia did not listen. She saw a picture on the wall. It was a picture of their family. She liked the picture, but she wanted to make it more fun. She had an idea. + +"I'm going to cut the picture," Mia said. "I'm going to make a puzzle with it." + +Ben gasped. He knew that was a bad idea. The picture was important to their mom and dad. They would be very angry if Mia cut it. + +"No, Mia, don't do that!" Ben said. "That's a serious mistake. Give me the scissors." + +But Mia was faster. She ran to the wall and started to cut the picture. She cut the faces, the clothes, the background. She made many pieces. + +Ben tried to stop her, but it was too late. The picture was ruined. Mia looked at the pieces and smiled. + +"Look, Ben, I made a puzzle!" Mia said. + +But Ben did not smile. He was scared. He heard their mom and dad coming. He knew they would see the picture and be very upset. + +"Mia, what have you done?" Ben said. "You are in big trouble. You should not have examined the scissors." +Lily loved to sing. She sang all the time, even when she was not supposed to. She sang in the morning, she sang at lunch, she sang in the bath. She sang so loud that her mom and dad sometimes asked her to be quiet. + +One day, Lily was singing in her room. She saw a bookshelf with many books on it. She wanted to read some of the books, but they were too high for her. She had an idea. She pushed a chair to the bookshelf and climbed on it. She reached for a book, but she was careless. She pulled too hard and the book fell on her head. Then another book fell, and another, and another. Soon, the bookshelf was empty and Lily was buried under a pile of books. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Lily cried. She was hurt and scared. She stopped singing. + +Her mom heard the noise and ran to her room. She saw the mess and Lily under the books. She was angry and worried. She lifted the books and hugged Lily. + +"Lily, what did you do?" she asked. "Why were you so careless? You could have been hurt badly. You should not climb on the chair and the bookshelf. You should ask for help if you want a book." + +"I'm sorry, mom," Lily said. "I wanted to read a book, but they were too high. I like books. And I like to sing." + +"I know, Lily, I know. I like books and singing too. But you have to be careful and follow the rules. Books are good, but they can also be dangerous. And singing is fun, but you have to know when to stop. Do you understand?" + +"Yes, mom, I understand. I will be careful and follow the rules. And I will sing only when it is okay. Can I have a hug?" + +"Of course, Lily, of course. I love you, my little singer. But please, no more books on your head." +Lily and Max were excited to go to the park. They put on their coats and hats and ran to the street. They saw a big yellow bus with many people inside. The bus made a loud noise and moved fast. + +"Look, Max, a bus!" Lily said. "Where is it going?" + +"I don't know, Lily. Maybe to another park. Or to a zoo. Or to a big house with lots of toys." Max said. + +They watched the bus until it turned the corner and disappeared. Then they saw something else in the sky. It was a big red balloon with a basket and a fire. The balloon was soaring high above the trees and the houses. + +"Wow, Lily, a balloon!" Max said. "It is flying!" + +"Can we fly too, Max?" Lily asked. + +"Maybe, Lily. Maybe if we find a balloon and a fire and a basket. Or maybe if we flap our arms really hard. Or maybe if we make a wish." Max said. + +They held hands and looked at the balloon. They closed their eyes and wished they could soar too. They felt the wind in their hair and the sun on their faces. They smiled and opened their eyes. They saw the balloon was still there, but it was smaller and farther away. + +"Bye, balloon!" Lily said. "Have fun flying!" + +"Bye, balloon!" Max said. "Maybe we will see you again!" + +They waved at the balloon and then ran to the park. They were excited to play and have fun. They did not need a balloon to soar. They had each other and their imagination. +Sara loves to learn new words. She likes to repeat what her mom and dad say. Sometimes she says funny things that make them laugh. + +One day, Sara and her mom go to the park. Sara sees a big tree with many leaves. She points and says, "Tree!" + +Mom smiles and says, "Yes, that's a tree. Do you know what color the leaves are?" + +Sara looks and says, "Green!" + +Mom nods and says, "That's right, they are green. But do you know what happens to the leaves in the fall?" + +Sara shakes her head and says, "No, what?" + +Mom says, "The leaves change color. They become red, yellow, orange, and brown. They look very pretty. Then they fall to the ground and make a crunchy sound when you step on them." + +Sara says, "Wow, that's amazing!" + +Mom says, "Yes, it is. And do you know what happens after the fall?" + +Sara says, "No, what?" + +Mom says, "The winter comes. The leaves are gone and the tree is bare. It gets very cold and sometimes it snows. The snow is white and soft and you can make snowmen and snowballs with it." + +Sara says, "Wow, that's amazing!" + +Mom says, "Yes, it is. And do you know what happens after the winter?" + +Sara says, "No, what?" + +Mom says, "The spring comes. The tree grows new leaves and flowers. It gets warmer and the birds sing and the bees buzz. The flowers are colorful and smell nice and you can pick them and make a bouquet." + +Sara says, "Wow, that's amazing!" + +Mom says, "Yes, it is. And do you know what happens after the spring?" + +Sara says, "No, what?" + +Mom says, "The summer comes. The tree is full of leaves and fruits. It gets very hot and you can swim and play in the water. The fruits are juicy and sweet and you can eat them and share them with your friends." + +Sara says, "Wow, that's amazing!" + +Mom says, "Yes, it is. And do you know what all these changes are called?" + +Sara says, "No, what?" + +Mom says, "They are called seasons. And they happen every year. A year is a long time. It is when the earth goes around the sun one time. You are three years old. That means you have seen the seasons three times." + +Sara says, "Wow, that's amazing!" + +Mom says, "Yes, it is. And you know what else is amazing?" + +Sara says, "What?" + +Mom says, "You are amazing. And I love you very much." + +Sara hugs her mom and says, "I love you too, mom. You are amazing too." +Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of fun making noises and pretending to be animals. Lily was a lion and Ben was a monkey. They roared and jumped and laughed. + +But soon they started to feel tired. They yawned and rubbed their eyes. They looked at the clock and saw that it was almost time for bed. + +"Let's go to the kitchen and have a snack," Lily said. "Maybe we can find some beans. I like beans. They are yummy and good for you." + +"OK," Ben agreed. "But only a little. I don't want to spoil my dinner." + +They went to the kitchen and saw a bowl of beans on the table. Their mom had cooked them for dinner. They smelled good and looked warm. + +"Can we have some beans, mom?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, but only a few," mom said. "You don't want to fill up your tummy too much. And don't forget to wash your hands first." + +Lily and Ben washed their hands and took a spoon each. They scooped some beans and ate them. They were warm and soft and tasty. They smiled and said, "Thank you, mom." + +"You're welcome, sweeties," mom said. "Now, finish your beans and get ready for bed. It's been a long day and you need your sleep." + +Lily and Ben nodded and finished their beans. They felt happy and full. They gave mom a hug and a kiss and went to their bedroom. They put on their pajamas and brushed their teeth. They climbed into their beds and snuggled under their blankets. + +"Good night, Lily," Ben said. + +"Good night, Ben," Lily said. + +They closed their eyes and fell asleep. They dreamed of lions and monkeys and beans. +Lily likes to write. She has a big book and many pens. She writes her name, and her mom's name, and her cat's name. She writes many words and draws many pictures. + +One day, Lily wants to write a letter to her friend Ben. She writes "Hi Ben, I miss you. Do you like cats? I have a cat. Her name is Daisy. She is orange and soft. Bye, Lily." She draws a cat next to her words. + +She looks for an envelope to put her letter in. She cannot find one. She sees a magazine on the table. She thinks, maybe I can make an envelope from the magazine. She takes the magazine and a pair of scissors. She cuts a big square from the magazine. She folds the square and puts her letter inside. She tapes the edges. + +She shows her mom her envelope. She says, "Mom, look, I made an envelope for Ben. Can you help me send it?" + +Her mom smiles and says, "That's very clever, Lily. But you know, you cannot cut the magazine. That's not yours. That's dad's. He likes to read it. He will be sad if he sees it cut." + +Lily feels sorry. She says, "I'm sorry, mom. I didn't know. I just wanted to send a letter to Ben. I don't have an envelope." + +Her mom hugs her and says, "It's okay, Lily. I understand. You are very sweet to write to Ben. But next time, ask me first before you cut something. I have some envelopes for you. Come, let's go and find a stamp." +Sam and Lily like to play in the park. They run and jump and slide and swing. They have fun with their toys and friends. One day, they see a big orange mist in the sky. It looks like fire, but it does not burn. They are curious and want to see it closer. + +"Let's go to the mist!" Sam says. "Maybe we can find something cool!" + +"No, Sam, we can't!" Lily says. "Mommy said we have to stay in the park. The mist might be bad for us. It might make us sick or hurt." + +Sam does not listen to Lily. He runs to the mist. Lily follows him. She is scared and angry. She does not want to lose Sam or get in trouble. + +"Sam, come back!" Lily shouts. "You are being naughty! Mommy will be mad!" + +Sam does not hear Lily. He is too excited. He reaches the mist. He feels a wet and cold touch on his face. He laughs and tries to catch the mist with his hands. He thinks it is fun. + +Lily catches up with Sam. She grabs his arm and pulls him away from the mist. She is crying and coughing. She does not like the mist. It makes her eyes and nose and throat hurt. + +"Sam, you are silly!" Lily says. "The mist is not fun! It is bad! Look, it is making us dirty and wet and sick! We have to go back to the park and tell Mommy!" + +Sam looks at Lily. He sees that she is right. He feels sorry and ashamed. He does not want to make Lily sad or sick. He does not want to make Mommy mad. He hugs Lily and says sorry. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. I was silly. I did not know the mist was bad. I just wanted to see it. I won't do it again. Let's go back to the park and tell Mommy. Maybe she can make us feel better." + +Lily nods and hugs Sam back. She forgives him. She knows he did not mean to be naughty. She loves him. They hold hands and walk back to the park. They hope Mommy will not be too mad. They hope the mist will go away soon. They hope they can play in the park again. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play outside with their cart. Their cart has four wheels and a big box. They can put toys and books and snacks in the box. + +One day, they go to the park with their mom. The park has a pond with ducks and fish. Lily and Ben want to see the ducks. They take their cart to the pond. They see some bread on the ground. They pick up the bread and throw it to the ducks. The ducks come closer and quack. Lily and Ben laugh. + +"Look, Ben, the ducks are hungry!" Lily says. + +"Yes, they like the bread. Can we feed them more?" Ben asks. + +"OK, but be careful. Don't go too close to the water," Mom says. + +Lily and Ben nod. They take some more bread from the cart and toss it to the ducks. The ducks splash in the water and catch the bread. Lily and Ben clap their hands. + +"Wow, they splash a lot!" Lily says. + +"Let's splash too!" Ben says. + +He takes a handful of water and splashes Lily. Lily squeals and splashes back. They splash each other and giggle. Mom smiles and watches them. + +But then, Ben slips and falls into the pond. He gets wet and scared. He cries. + +"Ben!" Lily shouts. + +"Mom!" Ben calls. + +Mom runs to the pond and pulls Ben out. She hugs him and wraps him in a towel. She checks if he is OK. + +"Are you OK, Ben? Are you hurt?" Mom asks. + +"I'm OK, Mom. But I'm wet and dizzy," Ben says. + +"I'm sorry, Ben. You must be careful. The pond is deep and slippery," Mom says. + +"I'm sorry, Mom. I was just having fun," Ben says. + +Mom kisses him and says, "It's OK, Ben. I know you were having fun. But you have to be safe too. Come on, let's go home and change your clothes." + +Lily comes to Ben and says, "I'm sorry, Ben. I didn't mean to splash you so much." + +"It's OK, Lily. I didn't mean to fall in the pond. It was an accident," Ben says. + +They hug and say, "I love you." + +Mom says, "I love you too. Let's go home and have some hot chocolate." + +They pack their cart and leave the park. They wave goodbye to the ducks. The ducks quack and splash. Lily and Ben smile. They had a fun day at the park. +Lily and Tom were playing a game. They had to roll a ball and knock down some cans. Lily was very good at the game. She rolled the ball hard and fast and hit many cans. Tom was not so good. He rolled the ball slow and soft and missed many cans. + +"Look, Lily, I have ten points and you have only five," Tom said. He was very proud of himself. He thought he would win the game and gain the prize. The prize was a big teddy bear with a red bow. + +Lily did not like Tom's words. She wanted to win the game and gain the prize too. She tried harder and harder. She rolled the ball harder and faster and hit more cans. Tom tried harder and harder too. He rolled the ball harder and faster and hit more cans. + +But Tom was careless. He did not look where he was going. He bumped into a table and knocked over a vase. The vase broke into many pieces. It made a loud noise. Lily and Tom stopped playing and looked at the vase. + +"Oh no, Tom, what did you do?" Lily said. She was scared. The vase was not theirs. It belonged to Mrs. Lee, who lived next door. She was very nice and let them play in her yard. But she would be very angry if she saw the broken vase. + +"I'm sorry, Lily, I did not mean to," Tom said. He was scared too. He did not want to make Mrs. Lee angry. He did not want to lose the game and the prize. He did not know what to do. + +Lily and Tom heard a voice. It was Mrs. Lee. She came out of her house and saw the broken vase. She saw Lily and Tom. She saw the game and the prize. She was not angry. She was sad. + +"Oh, children, what have you done?" Mrs. Lee said. She loved the vase. It was a gift from her husband, who had died a year ago. It was very precious to her. She felt like she had lost something very important. + +Lily and Tom felt very sorry. They did not know the vase was so precious. They did not want to make Mrs. Lee sad. They wanted to make her happy. + +"Mrs. Lee, we are very sorry. We did not know the vase was a gift from your husband. We were playing a game and Tom was careless and bumped into the table. We will pay for the vase. We will give you our money and our prize. Please forgive us," Lily said. + +Mrs. Lee looked at Lily and Tom. She saw their sorry faces and their kind words. She saw their money and their prize. She felt a little better. She smiled. + +"Children, thank you for your honesty and your generosity. I forgive you. You don't have to pay for the vase. You don't have to give me your money and your prize. You can keep them. But please be more careful next time. And please come and visit me sometimes. I get lonely without my husband. Maybe you can play with me and my teddy bear. He has a blue bow," Mrs. Lee said. + +Lily and Tom hugged Mrs. Lee. They were happy. They had gained a friend. They had learned a lesson. They had kept their prize. They had a new teddy bear to play with. They had a good day. +Tom and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. They liked to make noises and pretend they were animals or cars or superheroes. They did not care that their mom was trying to work on her laptop at the table. They did not care that they were making a mess and disturbing her. + +"Tom, I'm a shrimp and you're a shark!" Lily said, holding a pink toy in her hand. "You have to chase me and try to eat me!" + +"Okay, Lily, I'm a shark and you're a shrimp!" Tom said, holding a gray toy in his mouth. "I'm going to catch you and bite you!" + +They ran around the room, bumping into the furniture and the walls. They knocked over a lamp and a vase. They made loud noises and scared the cat. Their mom looked at them with a gloomy face. She was very angry and tired. She could not work or think. + +"Tom, Lily, stop it right now!" their mom shouted. "You are disturbing me and making a lot of trouble! You need to be quiet and play nicely or you will go to your rooms!" + +But Tom and Lily did not listen. They thought their mom was just being mean. They wanted to have fun and play their game. They did not want to be quiet and play nicely. They did not want to go to their rooms. + +They kept running and shouting and playing. They did not see that their mom had had enough. They did not see that she got up from her table and walked towards them. They did not see that she had a big frown and a scary voice. + +"Tom, Lily, that's it!" their mom yelled. "You are disturbing me and making a lot of trouble! You are not listening to me and being good! You are going to your rooms right now and you are not coming out until dinner!" + +She grabbed them by their arms and dragged them to their rooms. She slammed the doors and locked them. She did not care that they cried and begged and said they were sorry. She did not care that they were scared and lonely and bored. She did not care that they were hungry and thirsty and tired. She did not care that they loved her and wanted to hug her. + +She went back to her table and worked on her laptop. She did not disturb them and they did not disturb her. They did not play or talk or laugh. They did not have fun or happiness or love. + +They had a bad ending. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play in the park. They had a favorite fountain that made water go up and down. They liked to watch the water and make wishes. + +One day, they saw a little bird near the fountain. The bird was wet and cold. It looked helpless. Ben and Lily felt sorry for the bird. + +"Let's help the bird," Ben said. + +"Yes, let's help the bird," Lily said. + +They went to the bird and gently picked it up. They wrapped it in a soft cloth and held it close. They tried to warm it up and make it feel better. + +The bird opened its eyes and chirped. It looked at Ben and Lily and thanked them. It said it was lost and scared. It said it was looking for its family. + +"We will help you find your family," Ben said. + +"Yes, we will help you find your family," Lily said. + +They asked the bird what it looked like and where it came from. The bird said it was a blue jay and it lived in a big tree. It said it flew too far and got caught in the fountain. + +Ben and Lily looked around the park. They saw a big tree with many blue jays. They thought that might be the bird's home. + +"Is that your tree?" Ben asked. + +"Yes, that's my tree," the bird said. + +"Let's take you there," Lily said. + +They carried the bird to the tree and put it on a branch. The bird called out to its family. Soon, many blue jays came and surrounded the bird. They were happy to see it. They hugged it and kissed it. They thanked Ben and Lily for saving it. + +Ben and Lily smiled and waved. They were happy to see the bird unite with its family. They said goodbye and went back to the fountain. They made a new wish. They wished that the bird would always be safe and happy. +Ben and Mia were helping Mom sort the food in the freezer. They liked to see the different shapes and colors of the food. Mom gave them each a basket and told them to put the food in the right place. + +"Ben, you sort the meat. Put the chicken, the beef and the fish in your basket. Mia, you sort the fruits and vegetables. Put the apples, the carrots and the peas in your basket. OK?" Mom said. + +"OK, Mom!" Ben and Mia said. They started to sort the food. Ben found a big bag of chicken. He lifted it up and put it in his basket. Mia found a small bag of peas. She opened it and poured some peas in her basket. She also ate some peas. They were cold and sweet. + +"Look, Mom! I sorted the peas!" Mia said, showing her basket. + +"Good job, Mia! But don't eat too many peas. They might make your tummy hurt." Mom said. + +"OK, Mom." Mia said. She closed the bag of peas and put it back in the freezer. + +Ben was looking for more meat. He saw a pale thing in the corner of the freezer. He did not know what it was. He reached for it and touched it. It was hard and cold. He pulled it out and showed it to Mom. + +"Mom, what is this?" Ben asked. + +Mom looked at the pale thing. She gasped and smiled. + +"That's a surprise, Ben! That's a cake! A frozen cake! I made it for your birthday tomorrow. It has chocolate and cream and sprinkles. Do you like it?" Mom asked. + +Ben's eyes widened. He liked cake. He liked chocolate and cream and sprinkles. He was happy. + +"I like it, Mom! Thank you, Mom! Can I have some cake now?" Ben asked. + +Mom laughed and hugged Ben. + +"Not now, Ben. We have to wait until tomorrow. Then we can have cake and candles and sing happy birthday. OK?" Mom said. + +"OK, Mom!" Ben said. He put the cake back in the freezer. He was excited for tomorrow. He and Mia finished sorting the food. They helped Mom close the freezer. They were good helpers. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the pool. One day, they go to the pool with their moms. Anna has a new swimsuit. It is pink and has flowers. Ben has a blue swimsuit. It has sharks. + +They jump in the pool and splash each other. They have fun. They see a slide. They want to go on the slide. They climb the ladder. Anna goes first. She slides down fast. She laughs. Ben goes next. He slides down fast too. But he slides too fast. He loses his swimsuit. It falls off in the water. He is naked. He is embarrassed. He covers himself with his hands. He cries. + +"Ben, what happened?" Anna asks. She sees his swimsuit floating in the pool. She swims to get it. She gives it to Ben. "Here, put this on. It's okay. Don't cry." + +Ben takes his swimsuit. He puts it on. He is still embarrassed. He says sorry to Anna. "I'm sorry, Anna. I didn't mean to lose my swimsuit. It was too big. It was not tight." + +Anna hugs Ben. She says it's okay. "It's okay, Ben. It was an accident. It can happen to anyone. I'm still your friend. Don't be embarrassed. No one saw you. Only me. And I don't mind. You are still the same Ben. You are still funny and smart and brave." + +Ben smiles. He hugs Anna back. He says thank you to Anna. "Thank you, Anna. You are a good friend. You are kind and sweet and helpful. You made me feel better. You are the best." + +They go back to play in the pool. They forget about the slide. They have fun again. They are happy. + +Their moms call them. It is time to go home. They get out of the pool. They dry themselves with towels. They put on their clothes. They say goodbye to the pool. They say goodbye to each other. They promise to play again soon. + +Their moms give them snacks. Anna has a sandwich. It is ham and cheese. Ben has a sandwich too. It is peanut butter and jelly. They bite their sandwiches. They like them. They are yummy. + +But Ben's sandwich has something else. It has a red sauce. It is spicy. It burns his mouth. He spits out his sandwich. He says ouch. He drinks water. He is surprised. He is not embarrassed. He is curious. He asks his mom. "Mom, what is this? Why is it spicy? What did you put in my sandwich?" + +His mom smiles. She says sorry to Ben. "I'm sorry, Ben. I put some hot sauce in your sandwich. I thought you would like it. I like it. It is spicy. It makes the sandwich more tasty. Do you want to try again?" + +Ben shakes his head. He says no to his mom. "No, thank you, mom. I don't like spicy. It hurts my mouth. It is not tasty. It is yucky. I want a different sandwich. Please." + +His mom says okay to Ben. She gives him a different sandwich. It is cheese and tomato. Ben bites his sandwich. He likes it. It is not spicy. It is good. He says thank you to his mom. "Thank you, mom. This sandwich is good. I like it. It is not yucky. It is yummy." + +His mom says you're welcome to Ben. She says she loves him. Ben says he loves her too. He finishes his sandwich. He is full. He is happy. + +He looks at Anna. She is smiling. She is not laughing. She is not teasing. She is not mean. She is nice. She is his friend. He says thank you to Anna. "Thank you, Anna. You are a good friend. You helped me in the pool. You did not laugh at me. You did not make fun of me. You are the best." + +Anna says you're welcome to Ben. She says she loves him too. She says he is her friend. She says he is the best. They hug. They are happy. They are friends. +Tom and Anna like to play with objects. They have balls, cars, dolls and blocks. They make games with the objects and have fun. + +One day, they play a game with the balls. They roll the balls on the floor and try to hit a big box. The box is the goal. The one who hits the box the most times wins the game. + +Tom rolls his ball and hits the box. He says, "I hit the goal! I have one point!" Anna rolls her ball and misses the box. She says, "Oh no! I missed the goal! I have zero points!" + +They roll the balls again and again. Tom hits the box three times. Anna hits the box two times. Tom says, "I hit the goal more times than you! I win the game!" He is very happy and jumps up and down. + +Anna is sad and frowns. She says, "You win the game, but I am still your friend. Can we play another game?" Tom is cheerful and says, "Yes, we can play another game. You are my friend too. Let's play with the dolls!" They hug and smile. They play with the dolls and have more fun. +Lily and Max are playing with their toy cars in the living room. They have a big track with ramps and loops. They like to make their cars go fast and do tricks. + +"Look, Lily, I can make my car reverse and jump over the loop!" Max says, showing off his red car. + +"Wow, Max, that is good!" Lily says, clapping her hands. She has a yellow car that she likes to spin and flip. + +They take turns to make their cars do different things. They have fun and laugh a lot. + +Soon, they hear their mom calling them from the kitchen. "Lily and Max, it's time for a snack! Come and have some juice and cookies!" + +They leave their cars on the track and run to the kitchen. They see two cups of juice and two plates of cookies on the table. + +"Thank you, mom!" they say, sitting down and grabbing their snacks. + +"You're welcome, my loves. Did you have fun with your cars?" mom asks, smiling. + +"Yes, mom, we did! We made them reverse and jump and spin and flip!" Lily and Max say, excited. + +"That sounds like fun! Maybe you can show me later. But first, drink your juice and eat your cookies. They are good for you!" mom says, giving them a hug. +Tom and Sam were playing with their toy cars in the garden. They liked to make noises and pretend they were racing. Tom had a red car and Sam had a blue car. They had a lot of fun. + +But then, Tom saw a big stick on the ground. He had an idea. He picked up the stick and said, "Look, Sam, I have a missile. I can shoot your car and make it go boom!" + +Sam did not like Tom's idea. He liked his car and did not want it to go boom. He said, "No, Tom, don't do that. That's not nice. That's not how we play." + +But Tom did not listen. He aimed the stick at Sam's car and said, "Ready, set, fire!" He threw the stick as hard as he could. + +Sam was scared. He tried to move his car away, but it was too late. The stick hit his car and made a loud noise. Sam's car broke into pieces. Sam felt sad and angry. He said, "Tom, you broke my car! You are mean! You are not my friend!" + +Tom felt bad. He did not mean to break Sam's car. He just wanted to play. He said, "I'm sorry, Sam. I was just joking. I didn't know it would break. Please don't be mad at me. Please be my friend." + +Sam looked at Tom. He saw that Tom was sorry. He also saw that Tom's car was still whole. He had an idea. He said, "OK, Tom, I forgive you. But you have to give me your car. Then we can be friends again." + +Tom did not want to give his car to Sam. He liked his car and did not want to lose it. He said, "But Sam, that's not fair. That's my car. You can't take it." + +Sam said, "But Tom, you broke my car. That's not fair either. You have to make it right. You have to share your car with me." + +Tom felt helpless. He did not know what to do. He wanted to keep his car, but he also wanted to be friends with Sam. He did not want to fight. He said, "OK, Sam, I'll give you my car. But only for today. Tomorrow, we can swap back. Is that OK?" + +Sam thought about it. He decided that was OK. He said, "OK, Tom, that's OK. But you have to be careful with my car. You have to treat it nicely. You have to mark it with a sticker so I know it's mine. And you have to say sorry again." + +Tom agreed. He said, "OK, Sam, I'll do that. I'm sorry again. I won't break your car. I'll mark it with a sticker. And I'll swap back tomorrow. Can we be friends now?" + +Sam nodded. He said, "Yes, Tom, we can be friends now. But don't ever throw a missile at my car again. That's not fun. That's dangerous." + +Tom nodded. He said, "I won't, Sam, I promise. I learned my lesson. Missiles are not for playing. They are for throwing away." + +They hugged and made up. They took their cars and played together again. They had a lot of fun. +Ben and Lily liked to play in the garden. They had a big box that they used as a boat. They would imagine that they were sailing on a river full of crocodiles. They would pretend to see the crocodiles' eyes and teeth in the water. + +"Look, Lily, there's a big crocodile over there!" Ben would say, pointing to a log. + +"Let's sail away, Ben, it might bite us!" Lily would say, rowing with a stick. + +But one day, they found a real crocodile in the garden.

She smiled and said, "Don't worry, kids, it's not a real crocodile. It's a toy. Your dad brought it for you from his trip. He thought you would like it." + +Ben and Lily looked at the toy crocodile. It had a button on its back. When they pressed it, it made a noise and moved its mouth. Ben and Lily laughed and hugged the toy crocodile. + +"Thank you, dad, it's a great toy!" they said. + +They took the toy crocodile to their boat and played with it.

Anna shouted. + +"I tried to get a blue feather for the flag. But the bird did not like it. It bit me. It is very mean," Ben said. + +He dropped the stick, the flower, and the leaf. He ran to Anna. They hid behind the house. The bird flew away. + +"Ben, that was not a good idea. You should not take things that belong to others. That is not nice," Anna said. + +"I know, Anna. I am sorry. I just wanted to make a beautiful flag for us. But I made a big mess," Ben said. + +"It is okay, Ben. I forgive you. But next time, let us use only grass and sticks. They are enough for us. They are our friends," Anna said. + +They hugged each other. They picked up the stick, the flower, and the leaf. They gave them back to the park. They said sorry to the bird.

She said he had to nap or he would get no dessert. + +Ben was mad. He did not want to nap. He did not want to miss dessert. He kicked and screamed. He threw his pillow. He said mean things to his mom. He said he hated her and he hated home. + +His mom was sad. She did not like to see him act like that. She said she loved him and she wanted him to be happy. She said he had to nap or he would be sorry. She left him in his bed. She closed the door. + +Ben was alone. He was still mad. He did not want to nap. He wanted to play. He got out of his bed.

Their moms say yes. They are happy. + +They go inside the building. It is cool and dark. They see many things. They see animals and stars and cars and dolls. They like them. They point and talk and laugh. + +Then, they hear a sound. It is music. It comes from a room. They go to the room. They see people. They are singing. They sing loud and nice.

He did not want to share the lighter. + +Sam was angry and tried to grab the lighter from Tom. They fought and pulled and pushed. The lighter fell out of Tom's hand and landed on the box. The box caught fire and made a big flame. + +Tom and Sam were scared and screamed. They ran away from the box. The fire was too big and too hot. It spread to the grass and the trees. It made a lot of smoke and noise. + +The neighbors saw the fire and called the firemen. The firemen came with a big truck and a hose. They sprayed water on the fire and put it out. They were not happy with Tom and Sam. They scolded them and told them to never play with fire again. + +Tom and Sam were very sorry and very sad. They had ruined their box and their yard. They had made a big mess and a big trouble. They had no more fun. They wished they had never found the lighter. They learned a hard lesson. +Tom and Mia love to play with their toys. They have many toys, but their favorite is the big aeroplane. The aeroplane has wings, wheels, and a tail. It can fly in the air and make noises. + +One day, Tom and Mia want to make the aeroplane more fun. They look for things to attach to the aeroplane. They find some stickers, some ribbons, and some feathers. They stick the stickers on the wings, tie the ribbons on the wheels, and glue the feathers on the tail. They think the aeroplane looks very pretty. + +"Look, Mia, our aeroplane is so colorful!" Tom says. + +"Yes, Tom, it is. But do you think it can still fly?" Mia asks. + +"Let's try!" Tom says. He picks up the aeroplane and runs around the room. He makes the aeroplane fly in the air and makes noises. But the stickers, the ribbons, and the feathers are too heavy. The aeroplane falls to the ground and breaks. + +"Oh no, Tom, our aeroplane is broken!" Mia cries. + +"I'm sorry, Mia, I didn't mean to break it." Tom says. + +They hug each other and feel sad. They wish they had not attached so many things to the aeroplane. + +Mom comes in and sees the broken aeroplane and the mess. She is not happy. + +"Tom and Mia, what have you done? You have ruined your aeroplane and made a big mess. You are not organized at all." Mom says. + +"We're sorry, Mom, we just wanted to make the aeroplane more fun." Tom and Mia say. + +Mom sighs and shakes her head. She helps them clean up the mess and fix the aeroplane. She tells them to be more careful and organized next time. She also tells them that the aeroplane is fun enough without adding anything to it. + +Tom and Mia nod and say sorry again. They hug Mom and thank her for fixing the aeroplane. They promise to be more organized and play with the aeroplane nicely. They learn their lesson and have fun with their toys. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play in the bath. They had many toys, like ducks and boats and bubbles. But their favorite thing was the spray bottle. They filled it with water and shampoo and sprayed each other and the walls. + +"Spray, spray, spray!" Ben shouted, as he squirted Lily's hair. "You look like a snowman!" + +Lily giggled and sprayed back. "No, you look like a snowman!" She said, making Ben's hair white and foamy. + +They had so much fun that they did not hear their mom calling them. "Ben, Lily, time to get out!" She said, knocking on the door. "You have been in there too long!" + +Ben and Lily did not want to get out. They wanted to keep playing. They ignored their mom and sprayed more shampoo. + +"Ben, Lily, I mean it!" Their mom said, opening the door. She was not happy. She saw the mess they had made. The bath was full of bubbles. The walls were wet and slippery. The floor was covered with shampoo. + +"Ben, Lily, what have you done?" She asked, shaking her head. "You have wasted all the shampoo! And you have made a big mess!" + +Ben and Lily felt bad. They did not mean to make their mom angry. They liked the shampoo. It smelled nice and made bubbles. + +"We are sorry, mom," Ben said, looking down. + +"We were just having fun," Lily said, wiping her eyes. + +Their mom sighed. She was not really angry. She loved her twins. She knew they were curious and playful. But she also wanted them to be careful and respectful. + +"I know, sweeties," She said, hugging them. "But you have to be more careful. Shampoo is not a toy. It is for washing your hair. And you have to listen when I call you. It is not safe to stay in the bath too long." + +Ben and Lily nodded. They understood. They wanted to make their mom happy. + +"Can we still use the spray bottle?" Ben asked, holding it up. + +"Only with water, and only a little bit," Their mom said, smiling. "And you have to share it. Be generous with each other." + +Ben and Lily smiled too. They liked to share. They gave each other a gentle spray and a hug. + +"OK, mom," They said. "We will be generous." + +Their mom dried them off and put them in their pajamas. She kissed them goodnight and tucked them in. + +"Goodnight, Ben. Goodnight, Lily. I love you," She said. + +"Goodnight, mom. We love you too," They said. + +They closed their eyes and dreamed of bubbles. +Anna likes to dance. She puts on her pink dress and her shiny shoes. She turns on the music and twirls around the room. She feels happy and graceful. + +Mommy watches Anna and smiles. She claps her hands and says, "You are a beautiful dancer, Anna. Do you want to show Daddy your dance?" + +Anna nods. She loves Daddy. She runs to the door and waits for him. She hears his car in the driveway. She jumps up and down. + +Daddy comes in and hugs Anna. He says, "Hello, my sweet girl. What have you been doing?" + +Anna says, "I have been dancing, Daddy. Do you want to see?" + +Daddy says, "Of course I do. Show me your dance." + +Anna takes Daddy's hand and leads him to the living room. She starts the music again and dances for him. She spins and hops and swings her arms. She looks at Daddy and sees him smiling. + +Daddy says, "You are a wonderful dancer, Anna. You make me proud." + +Anna feels warm and happy. She runs to Daddy and hugs him. She says, "Thank you, Daddy. I love you." + +Daddy says, "I love you too, Anna. You are my precious gift." + +They hug and kiss. Mommy joins them and they cuddle on the couch. They spend a few minutes talking and laughing. Anna feels safe and loved. She thinks dancing is the best thing in the world. +Sara and Ben are friends who live on a farm. They like to play with the animals, especially the sheep. The sheep are soft and fluffy and make funny noises. + +One day, Sara gets a new toy. It is a sheep doll that looks like a real sheep. She is very happy and shows it to Ben. Ben likes the sheep doll too, but he does not have one. He feels jealous of Sara. + +"Can I play with your sheep doll?" Ben asks Sara. + +"OK, but only for a little while. It is mine, not yours." Sara says. She lends the sheep doll to Ben, but she watches him closely. + +Ben plays with the sheep doll, but he does not want to give it back. He pretends that the sheep doll is his and that he is the farmer. He makes the sheep doll run and jump and baa. + +"Sara, look at my sheep doll! It is so fun!" Ben says. + +"Ben, that is not your sheep doll. It is mine. Give it back to me now!" Sara says. She is angry and tries to take the sheep doll from Ben. + +"No, it is mine! I want to keep it!" Ben says. He holds the sheep doll tight and runs away from Sara. + +Sara and Ben start to fight over the sheep doll. They pull and tug and shout. The real sheep see them and are confused. They do not like the noise and the trouble. They run away from the children. + +The farmer hears the commotion and comes to see what is wrong. He sees Sara and Ben fighting over the sheep doll and the real sheep running away. He is not happy. + +"Stop that right now! What are you doing?" The farmer says. He takes the sheep doll from Ben and gives it back to Sara. He scolds Ben for being jealous and Sara for being selfish. He tells them to share and be nice to each other and to the animals. + +Sara and Ben feel sorry for what they did. They apologize to each other and to the farmer. They hug and make up. They decide to play with the real sheep instead of the sheep doll. They learn to lend and borrow and be happy. The real sheep come back and join them. They are soft and fluffy and make funny noises. +Jill and Tom were best friends. They liked to play with toys and sing songs. One day, they found a big microphone in the attic. It was shiny and had a long cord. + +"Wow, look at this!" Tom said. "Let's pretend we are rock stars!" + +"OK!" Jill said. "You go first. I will clap for you." + +Tom took the microphone and sang a loud song. He jumped and danced and made funny faces. Jill clapped and laughed. She thought Tom was very playful and silly. + +Then it was Jill's turn. She took the microphone and sang a soft song. She swayed and smiled and closed her eyes. Tom clapped and cheered. He thought Jill was very sweet and pretty. + +But then something bad happened. The cord of the microphone got tangled around Tom's foot. He tripped and fell. He hit his head on the floor. He started to cry. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Tom cried. "It hurts! It hurts!" + +Jill dropped the microphone and ran to Tom. She hugged him and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Are you OK?" + +Tom looked at Jill. He saw her worried face and felt her warm hug. He stopped crying. He said, "I'm OK. It's OK. You are my best friend." + +Jill smiled and said, "You are my best friend too. I'm glad you are OK." + +They hugged again and said, "We love you." + +They picked up the microphone and put it back in the attic. They decided to play something else. They were happy. +Lily and Max were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big truck made of steel. It was shiny and strong and made loud noises when they pushed it. + +One day, their mom said they had to go to a fancy party with her. She said they had to wear nice clothes and behave well. Lily and Max did not want to go. They wanted to stay home and play with their truck. + +"Please, mom, can we take our truck?" Lily asked. + +"No, sweetie, the truck is too big and noisy for the party. You can play with it when we come back," mom said. + +"But we love our truck!" Max said. + +"I know, but you have to leave it here. The party is for grown-ups and they have different toys. Maybe you will find something fun there," mom said. + +Lily and Max were not happy, but they did what mom said. They put on their fancy clothes and got in the car. They hoped the party would not be too long or too boring. + +When they arrived at the party, they saw many people in fancy clothes. They also saw a big table with fancy food and drinks. Mom said they could have some, but not too much. She said they had to be polite and say hello to the people. + +Lily and Max tried to behave, but they did not have fun. They did not know anyone and they did not like the food. They missed their truck and their toys. They wished they were home. + +Then, they saw something that made their eyes light up. In the corner of the room, there was a big piano made of steel. It was shiny and strong and made loud noises when they pressed the keys. + +"Look, Lily, a steel toy!" Max said. + +"Let's play with it!" Lily said. + +They ran to the piano and started to press the keys. They made loud and funny sounds. They laughed and had fun. + +But the grown-ups did not like it. They looked at them with angry faces. They said they were making too much noise and ruining the party. They said they had to stop and behave. + +Mom heard the commotion and came to the piano. She saw Lily and Max playing with it. She was not happy. + +"Lily, Max, what are you doing? This is not a toy, this is a piano. You can't play with it like that. You have to behave!" mom said. + +"But mom, it's a steel toy! It's like our truck!" Lily said. + +"No, it's not. It's a musical instrument. It's very expensive and delicate. You can't touch it without permission. You have to be careful and respectful," mom said. + +Lily and Max did not understand. They thought the piano was a cool toy. They did not mean to be bad. They were just bored and curious. + +Mom saw their sad faces and felt sorry for them. She knew they did not like the party. She knew they missed their truck. + +She hugged them and said, "I'm sorry, sweeties. I know this is not fun for you. But we have to stay a little longer. Can you please behave for me? I promise we will go home soon and you can play with your truck all you want." + +Lily and Max nodded. They loved mom and wanted to make her happy. They said they were sorry and they would behave. + +Mom smiled and thanked them. She said they were good kids and she was proud of them. She said she had a surprise for them. + +She took them to another room where there was a big TV. She said they could watch a cartoon while she talked to the people. She said she would come back soon. + +Lily and Max were happy. They liked cartoons. They sat on the couch and watched the TV. They behaved and waited for mom. + +They still loved their steel truck, but they also learned something new. They learned that there were different kinds of toys and different kinds of parties. They learned that sometimes they had to behave and sometimes they could have fun. They learned that mom loved them no matter what. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park with their toy guns. They liked to pretend they were cops and catch bad people. They saw a man in a black coat and a black hat. He looked like a thief. + +"Let's follow him and see what he does," Tom said to Lily. + +They ran behind the man, hiding behind trees and benches. The man walked to a big car and opened the door. He took out a big bag and put it on the ground. Tom and Lily saw that the bag had money and jewels inside. + +"He stole that from someone!" Lily said. "We have to stop him!" + +They jumped out of their hiding place and pointed their toy guns at the man. + +"Stop, thief! We are the cops!" Tom shouted. + +The man was surprised and scared. He dropped the bag and ran to his car. He tried to start the engine, but it did not work. He had forgotten his keys in the bag. + +Tom and Lily ran to the bag and picked it up. They saw a shiny badge inside. It said "Detective Smith". + +"Oops, he was not a thief. He was a good cop!" Lily said. + +They heard a siren and saw a police car coming. A woman in a blue uniform got out of the car. She smiled at Tom and Lily. + +"Thank you, kids. You helped me catch a real thief. He was hiding in the car and tried to take my bag. You are very brave and smart," she said. + +She gave them each a sticker and a hug. Tom and Lily were happy. They had a new friend and a new story to tell. +Ben likes to write poems. He writes them on paper with his crayons. He thinks of words that rhyme and sound nice. He writes about his toys, his pets, and his family. + +One day, he writes a poem for his mom. He wants to surprise her and make her happy. He writes: + +Mom, you are the best +You give me hugs and kisses +You make me yummy food +You read me stories and play with me +You are my favorite person + +He is proud of his poem. He puts it on the table and waits for his mom to come home. + +But then, his little sister Lily comes. She sees the paper and the crayons. She likes to draw too. She picks up a crayon and starts to scribble on the paper. She makes big lines and circles and dots. She does not see the words. + +Ben sees what she is doing. He runs to the table and shouts, "No, Lily, no! That is my poem for mom! You are ruining it!" + +Lily looks at him and smiles. She does not understand. She thinks he wants to play. She says, "Poem? What is poem? I draw pretty picture!" + +Ben is angry and sad. He tries to wipe off the crayon with his hand, but it does not work. He says, "Poem is words that rhyme and sound nice. You made it messy and ugly. Mom will not like it. You are a bad sister!" + +Lily starts to cry. She does not like to be called bad. She says, "Sorry, Ben, sorry. I did not know. I just wanted to draw. I love you, Ben." + +Ben hears her cry. He feels sorry too. He loves his sister, even when she is noisy and naughty. He says, "It's okay, Lily, it's okay. I love you too. Maybe we can make a new poem for mom. Do you want to help me?" + +Lily nods and wipes her tears. She says, "Yes, Ben, yes. I want to help you. What can I do?" + +Ben thinks for a moment. He says, "You can draw a picture of mom on a new paper. And I will write a new poem. And we will give it to her together. How does that sound?" + +Lily smiles and says, "That sounds good, Ben, that sounds good. Let's do it!" + +They hug and go to get a new paper and crayons. They work together to make a new poem and picture for mom. They hope she will like it. They are happy and proud. They are good siblings. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a ball, a kite and a bike. They are playful and happy. + +One day, they see a big mouse in the park. The mouse is hungry. It smells cheese in Anna's bag. The mouse runs to the bag and tries to take the cheese. + +"Hey, that is my cheese!" Anna says. She is angry. She does not want to share her cheese with the mouse. + +"Please, can I have some cheese?" the mouse says. It is polite. It does not want to make Anna sad. + +Ben thinks for a moment. He has an idea. He says to Anna, "Why don't we share our cheese with the mouse? Maybe the mouse can be our friend. Then we can play together." + +Anna thinks too. She likes to make friends. She says to the mouse, "OK, you can have some cheese. But you have to share it with us. And you have to be nice and playful." + +The mouse is happy. It says, "Thank you, Anna and Ben. You are kind and generous. I will share my cheese with you. And I will be nice and playful." + +Anna and Ben smile. They give some cheese to the mouse. Then they play with the ball, the kite and the bike. The mouse joins them. They have fun. They are friends. +Tim and Sue were hungry. They saw a big turkey on the table. It smelled good. They wanted to eat it. + +"Can we have some turkey, Mom?" Tim asked. + +"Not yet, dear. We have to wait for Dad. He is coming home soon." Mom said. + +Tim and Sue did not want to wait. They sneaked to the table. They took a big knife. They cut some turkey. They put it in their mouths. + +But the turkey was not cooked. It was raw. It was cold. It was slimy. It was green. It had germs. + +Tim and Sue spit out the turkey. They felt sick. They shivered. They cried. + +Mom heard them. She ran to the table. She saw the turkey. She saw the knife. She saw Tim and Sue. + +She was angry. She was scared. She yelled at them. + +"What have you done? You could have hurt yourselves! You could have gotten sick! You are very naughty! Go to your room now!" + +Tim and Sue ran to their room. They were sorry. They were sad. They wished they had waited for Dad. They wished they had not eaten the green turkey. +Tom is a shy boy. He does not like to talk to other kids. He likes to play with his toys and read his books. He does not like to eat vegetables. He thinks they are yucky and green. + +One day, his mom takes him to the market. She wants to buy some vegetables for dinner. She tells Tom to stay close to her. But Tom sees a big pile of books. He loves books. He runs to the books and picks one up. He does not know that his mom is not with him. + +Tom is so busy looking at the book that he does not hear his mom calling him. He does not see the big truck that is coming. The truck is very fast and loud. The truck driver does not see Tom either. He is looking at his phone. He does not know that Tom is in the way. + +The truck hits Tom. Tom falls down. He drops the book. He feels a lot of pain. He cries out for his mom. But his mom does not hear him. She is looking for him in the market. She is very scared and sad. + +Tom does not get up. He does not play with his toys or read his books anymore. He does not eat vegetables or anything else.

They like to play in the park. They have a big slide, a swing, and a seesaw. Lily and Tom take turns on the slide. They go up the steps and sit on the slide. Then they slide down fast and laugh. + +One day, Lily and Tom see a new boy in the park. He has a red hat and a blue bike. He looks jolly. He rides his bike around the park. He stops near the slide and says hello. + +"Hi, I'm Ben. Can I play with you?" he asks. + +"Sure, you can play with us. I'm Lily and this is Tom. We are sliding," Lily says. + +"Can I slide too?" Ben asks. + +"Yes, you can slide too. But you have to wait your turn," Tom says. + +"OK, I can wait. Can I lean my bike here?" Ben asks. He points to a tree near the slide. + +"Yes, you can lean your bike there. But be careful. Don't let it fall," Lily says. + +Ben leans his bike against the tree. He joins Lily and Tom on the slide. They slide down one by one. They have fun. They smile and giggle. + +Ben likes Lily and Tom. He thinks they are nice. He wants to be their friend. He gives them each a kiss on the lip.

You are a good friend. You are jolly," Lily and Tom say. + +They hug Ben. They say goodbye. They go home. They are happy. They have a new friend. +Lily was playing with her doll when she heard a loud noise. She ran to the window and saw a big truck hit a car. She saw smoke and fire and people screaming. She felt scared and sad. She wanted her mom and dad. + +She ran to the door, but it was locked. She tried to open it, but she couldn't. She started to cry and panic. She banged on the door and shouted for help. She felt alone and trapped. + +Then she heard a knock on the door. She heard a voice say, "Lily, it's me, Nurse Amy. I'm here to help you. Don't be afraid. I have a key." Lily recognized the voice. Nurse Amy was the kind lady who came to check on her sometimes. She liked Nurse Amy. She stopped crying and waited for the door to open. + +Nurse Amy opened the door and hugged Lily. She said, "Lily, you're safe now. I'm sorry you saw that accident. It was very scary. But the firemen and the police are here. They are helping the people who got hurt. Your mom and dad are fine. They are on their way to get you. They love you very much." + +Lily felt relieved and happy. She said, "Thank you, Nurse Amy. You're very kind. I love you too." She held Nurse Amy's hand and walked with her to the lobby.

They could not pay the dog to stop. They could only hope for help. + +But no one came. No one heard them. No one saw them. The dog ate them up. The grass was red. The end. +Lily likes to help her mom with the mail. Every day, she runs to the mailbox and brings the letters and papers to her mom. She likes to look at the pretty stamps and pictures on the envelopes. + +One day, Lily sees a big brown box in the mailbox. She is very excited and tries to pull it out. But the box is too big and heavy for her. She pulls and pulls, but the box does not move. She starts to panic. She thinks she is stuck and cannot get out of the mailbox. + +She cries and yells for her mom. Her mom hears her and comes outside. She sees Lily in the mailbox and smiles. She is not angry or scared. She tells Lily to calm down and let go of the box. She helps Lily get out of the mailbox and gives her a hug. + +She tells Lily that the box is a present for her dad.

Lily asks Tom. + +"West is where the sun goes when it is night," Tom says. "My dad told me." + +"Can we go west?" Lily says. "I want to see the sun." + +Tom thinks. He says, "We can try. But we need to be careful. West is far away. And we need to come back before it is dark." + +Lily and Tom hold hands. They follow the sign. They walk and walk. They see many things. They see cars and buses and shops and trees and flowers. They speak to each other and have fun. + +But soon, they feel tired. And hungry. And thirsty. And scared. They do not see the sun. They do not see the park. They do not see their moms and dads. + +"Tom, I want to go home," Lily says. "I do not like west. West is hard." + +"Me too, Lily," Tom says. "I do not like west.

They tell her their names and where they live. They tell her they wanted to see the west. + +The nice lady says, "Oh, you are very brave. But west is not a place you can go by yourself. West is a direction. You need a map and a compass and a guide to go west. And you need to tell your parents where you are going. They must be very worried about you." + +She takes out her phone. She calls Lily's mom and Tom's dad. She tells them where she found them. She says she will wait with them until they come. + +Lily and Tom feel happy. They hug the nice lady. They say thank you. They say sorry. + +The nice lady says, "It's okay. You are safe now. And you learned something new. But next time, please be more careful. And if you want to see the west, you can watch the sunset from the park. It is very beautiful. And very comfortable." +Anna likes to follow her big brother Tom. He knows many things and can do many fun games. Anna wants to be like him and learn from him. Sometimes Tom lets Anna play with him and his friends, but sometimes he says she is too small and tells her to go away. + +One day, Tom and his friends are playing with a fan. They put it on the floor and turn it on. They throw paper balls at the fan and watch them fly in the air. Anna thinks it looks very fun and wants to join. She runs to the fan and tries to grab a paper ball. But the fan is too strong and blows her hair and dress. Anna falls down and cries. + +Tom hears Anna cry and runs to her. He turns off the fan and helps her up. He says he is sorry and hugs her. He tells her the fan is not a toy and can be dangerous. He says she should not follow him when he plays with the fan. He says he will find a safer game for her to play with him and his friends. + +Anna stops crying and smiles. She says she is sorry too and thanks him. She says he is a good and helpful brother. She says she loves him and will listen to him. Tom smiles and says he loves her too and will teach her many things. He says they are a team and will always look after each other. He takes her hand and leads her to his friends. They all play a new game that Anna can enjoy. Anna is happy and follows Tom with joy. +Lily and Max were playing in the park. They liked to climb on the wood bridge and slide down the slide. They were having fun until they saw a big dog. The dog was barking and running towards them. + +"Help! Help!" Lily yelled. She was scared of the dog. She ran to the slide and tried to go down. But the dog was faster. It jumped on the wood bridge and blocked her way. + +"Go away, dog!" Max yelled. He was brave and wanted to help Lily. He picked up a stick and waved it at the dog. The dog growled and showed its teeth. It did not like the stick. + +"Max, be careful!" Lily yelled. She wished someone would come and save them. She looked around and saw a man. He was wearing a blue shirt and a hat. He was the dog's owner. + +"Rex, come here!" the man yelled.

Rex is not a bad dog, he just likes to play. But he doesn't know how to play nice. Are you okay?" the man asked. + +Lily and Max nodded. They were not hurt, but they were still scared. They wanted to go home. + +"Thank you for saving us," Lily said. + +"Yes, thank you," Max said. + +The man smiled and apologized again. He took his dog and left the park. Lily and Max hugged each other and ran to their mom. They told her what happened and she hugged them too. She was glad they were safe. She said they were very brave. Lily and Max felt better. They decided to play somewhere else. They did not like the wood bridge anymore. +Tom was a boy who liked to march. He marched in his room, he marched in the park, he marched with his toy soldiers.

He can scare anyone." + +"Look at my butterfly!" Anna said. "She is the queen of the sky. She can fly anywhere." + +They showed each other their paper animals and smiled. They were proud of their work. + +But then they heard their mom call from the kitchen. "Tom! Anna! It's time for lunch! Hurry up!" + +Tom and Anna did not want to stop playing. They wanted to make more animals and flowers. They were stubborn. + +"Mom, can we play a little more?" Tom asked. + +"No, you can't. You need to eat. Hurry up!" Mom said. + +"Mom, can we bring our paper animals?" Anna asked. + +"No, you can't. You need to put away the scissors. Hurry up!" Mom said. + +Tom and Anna sighed. They did not like to hurry. They liked to play. But they knew they had to listen to their mom. They put away the scissors and their paper animals. They ran to the kitchen and washed their hands. They sat down at the table and ate their lunch. + +Mom smiled at them and said, "Good job, Tom and Anna. You are very creative. But you also need to be obedient. Sometimes you have to hurry." + +Tom and Anna nodded. They understood. They said, "Sorry, Mom. We love you." + +Mom hugged them and said, "I love you too." +Lily liked to admire the stars at night. She would look out of her window and see the bright dots in the dark sky. She wondered what they were and how far away they were. She wanted to go to the stars one day and see them up close. + +One night, Lily asked her mom if she could stay up late and watch the stars. Her mom said yes, but only if she was patient and quiet. Lily agreed and put on her warm pajamas and slippers. She took her teddy bear and followed her mom to the backyard. + +They lay down on a blanket and looked up at the stars.
