So, they pretended it was morning time and the sun was out. + +But soon, Mary said, "This pretend game is boring. Let's do something else!" +Jack thought for a moment then said, "Let's go build a hut! We can make it out of sticks and leaves!" +So they went outside and started building a hut.

His mom asked him. + +"I'm imagining that I'm playing with my friends at the beach," he said. + +His mom smiled and said, "That sounds like fun.

Lucy was scared to talk to the stranger, but when he said please it made her feel better. She told him her name was Lucy and he said his name was Stuart. + +Lucy still felt a little nervous and a bit scared, but Stuart was so kind that he soon made her feel better. He said goodbye and Lucy realized he wasn't such a bad stranger after all. + +After that, Lucy saw the stranger in her regular neighbourhood often, and she smiled and waved at him. She still felt a bit scared when she saw him, but knew that he was part of her regular world. +Once upon a time there was a proud tower. Every day, the tower was washed by the sun. + +One day, a little girl walked by the tower and said, “Oh, tower.

Every day, the girl came to the tower and washed it until it shone like the sun. The tower was so proud. +Once upon a time, there was a little mouse who lived in a deep and dark forest. Every day, the mouse felt lonely and empty. + +One day, the mouse was wandering in the forest and it bumped into a little rabbit. The rabbit said, "Hey mouse! Would you like to be my friend?" The mouse felt so excited and it said, "Yes!" + +The two started playing and having lots of fun.

She was very curious and loved to act. She wanted to try new things, so one day she decided to see what celery tasted like. + +Jill went to the grocery store with her mother. As they walked down the aisle, Jill saw the celery and told her mother she wanted to try it. Her mother thought it was a great idea and bought her a bag. + +When they got home, Jill was so excited. She immediately opened the bag and grabbed a piece. She put it in her mouth and bit. Her face turned sour. + +"Yuck!" Jill said. "It's very expensive!" + +Her mother laughed and told her that sometimes you need to try new foods a few times before you like them. Jill decided to try it again and, this time, she liked it. From then on, she acted happy when she ate celery. +Once upon a time, there was a little bird named Polly. She had soft feathers and a bright red collar. Toby, the little bird, wanted to fly like all the other birds. He looked up at the sky and thought, "I wish I could soar as high as the clouds". + +One day, Toby decided he was brave enough to try. He flapped his wings, hoping he would rise in the air. But it wasn't enough. He felt discouraged and was about to give up. + +Just then, he heard a voice say, "Boo beep! You can do it, Toby! Let your wings take you high!" Toby looked up and saw a little girl smiling at him. She gave him a gentle nudge and he started flapping his wings again. This time, he felt the wind beneath him. Toby was soaring! + +He flew around in circles, enjoying every second of it. In a few minutes, Toby was higher than he had ever been before.

Will you help me?". + +The big friendly bear was very proud of Lizzy for trying so hard and he said "Of course I will help you" and he puched the oat with his big bear claws. + +Lizzy was so happy that she could finally pinch the oat and nibbled on it.

Then she held up the green brush again. + +"See Tommy," she said. "This brush will make your hair look neat and tidy. Try it - it's fun." + +But Tommy still didn't understand. He wanted his blue brush back. He started to cry. + +Tommy's mom put her arms around him. She said, "Don't worry Tommy. You can still use your blue brush, but it's time to learn to use the green brush too." + +Tommy stopped crying and looked up. He understood. It was time to try the funny green brush. +Once upon a time there was a little boy called Tim. It was sunny outside so he asked his mom if he could go and play in the garden.

Aunt Lucy smiled and said, "You must be looking for a nice cell to hang. Come with me." + +The bee descended onto Aunt Lucy's finger and she carefully placed it in one of the laundry baskets.

Finally, it settled on a shelf and made itself a home. + +"Ah, this looks like a perfect place for you, bee," Aunt Lucy said. She smiled and added, "You'll be safe here, my wild friend." +Once upon a time, there was a charming river. Every day, a young girl named Lily would come and splash in the shallows. She loved to slide her toes through the cool water, and she was often accompanied by her best friend, Tommy. + +One day, Tommy said, "Lily, let's go for a swim in the deep part of the river."

Lily never knew that the current was so strong, and before she knew it she slipped away, further and further down the river. + +Tommy shouted, "oh no! Lily!" He ran along the bank, trying to keep up, but it was no use. + +Fortunately, Lily was able to grab hold of a tree root growing on the side of the bank. Even though she was scared, Lily was able to climb up and make it back to the shore safely. + +Tommy ran over to her, relieved that she was okay. From then on, Lily and Tommy always made sure that they played in the shallows, not the deep part of the river! +Mummy and Daddy were going for an adventure. So, they took the rope and hurried off to the park nearby. + +When they arrived, they saw a fat tree surrounded by fat leaves.

They were very playful and always curious. + +One day, Jack and Jane were walking in the woods when they suddenly noticed a big, orange pumpkin in the middle of the path. Jane was very excited and asked her brother if they could take it home. "Yes, of course!" said Jack. So they picked up the pumpkin and took it home. + +Once they got home, the mum saw the pumpkin and said, "Now children, I can provide you with something fun to do with the pumpkin!" Then she showed them how to carve it and Jack and Jane had lots of fun making different shapes in the pumpkin. + +At the end of the day, the family had a festive lantern with a playful design that they all really enjoyed. They put it outside the house and smiled with joy. They were thankful that their mum had provided them the opportunity to have so much fun with the pumpkin. +Once upon a time, there was a small, blue bird. He was often lonely, so the bird asked permission from his parents to go look for a friend. His parents said that he was too little, so they didn't permit it. + +The bird was sad, but he was determined to go find a friend. He decided to build a big, hot air balloon so he could fly away and search. He worked very hard gathering feathers to use for the balloon, and little sticks for the basket. + +A few days later, the little bird had finished his balloon. He went to his parents, who saw how lightweight the balloon was, so they said yes and permitted him to go. + +The little bird was so excited, he said goodbye to his parents and stepped into the basket. He released the ropes and rose off the ground, and soon he was high in the sky. + +As he flew, the bird searched and searched, until finally he spotted a small flock of birds in the distance. He waved at them, and they waved back. The little bird finally found his first friend and they flew together happily ever after. +Once there was a structure made of sticks and twigs. Inside the structure there were two friends, Troy and Lizzy. The structure was a special place to them as it was full of sweet memories. + +Troy and Lizzy would go to the structure every day and spend the day playing and laughing. One day they decided to make a fire in the structure. They gathered twigs and sticks and made a small fire to stay warm. + +While they were playing, the fire started to burn higher and higher. Soon the structure was covered with smoke and flames. Troy and Lizzy were very scared and started to cry. + +Suddenly an old man appeared. He asked them what had happened and the children told him their story. The old man nodded and waved his hand. Myracles happened - the fire went out and the structure was still standing. + +The old man looked at them and said, 'Remember, children, be careful with fire. The sweet memories of the structure are only safe if you are responsible.' + +Troy and Lizzy nodded and thanked the old man and they enjoyed playing in their structure everyday after that. They always remembered the old man's words and were careful when ever they made a fire in the structure. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl who wanted to make dinner for her mom. She went to the kitchen, grabbed some yummy spaghetti noodles, and put them into a pot filled with boiling water. Then, she moved to the cupboard and grabbed a jar of sauce. + +Suddenly, the girl heard a very loud noise outside! She quickly ran out of the kitchen to see what the noise was, but she didn't know what to do. Then, her mom came in and saw her. + +"What's that noise, Mommy?" asked the little girl. + +"It's just the neighbors, sweetheart," her mom said. "They're being very noisy. We'll just have to protect ourselves from them and make sure we can enjoy dinner." + +Her mom walked outside and talked to their noisy neighbors. She came back in and gave the little girl a big hug. + +"Mommy, can we still make dinner?" asked the little girl. + +"Of course we can," said her mom. + +So the little girl finished making dinner. She stirred the spaghetti noodles with the yummy sauce and it tasted delicious. They sat down and enjoyed dinner together, and the little girl was happy that her mom had protected them. +Once there was a little flea. She was so lonely and had no one to play with. She wandered around looking for someone to play with, but all she found was rocks and twigs. + +The flea went up a tree and saw a little bird. She said, “Please, could we play together?†+ +The bird said, “No, I’m too busy building my nest. But I can cut you a twig off the tree and you can make a nest of your own.†+ +So the flea took the twig and made a cozy nest of her own. She was happy to have her own little nest and soon found many friends to play with. + +The moral of the story is that it's better to build your own nest than wait around for someone else to do it. Even though it may be lonely at first, it pays off in the end! +Once there was an old man walking through a dark, metal forest. Suddenly he saw a small creature blinking at him from behind a tree. He asked the creature, "What are you doing here all alone?" The creature didn't answer, so the old man stepped forward to help it. + +When the old man got closer, he could see that it was a helpless little bird. Its wings were sore and it was tired from a long journey. "I'm so glad you found me," the bird said in a worried voice. + +The old man was very kind. He gently picked up the little bird and wrapped it in his coat. He found a sheltered spot in the forest and put the bird in a nearby tree. + +The old man watched as the helpless bird blinked its eyes. It looked so relieved. Then the bird flew away, taking the old man's kind deed with it. That moment was the most magical of all. +Tommy was so excited to go to the lake. He twirled around in circles and said, "I can't wait to shine today". + +Mum replied, "That's right Tommy! We're going to the popular lake today so you can shine". + +When they arrived, Tommy couldn't believe his eyes. The lake was so beautiful. The sun shone brightly on the surface, making it sparkle. Tommy said, "Wow, it's so shiny!" + +Mum tossed Tommy a stick and said, "Go ahead and have a splash!" + +Tommy ran and jumped into the lake, feeling the cool water on his skin. He played in the lake all afternoon, forgetting the time. When he was finished, he said to mum, "That was so much fun!" + +Mum smiled and said, "Let's go back to the lake soon so you can shine some more." +The sunlight shone down onto the elderly lady's garden. She looked around at all the beautiful flowers that were blooming in the warm sunshine. + +"Come look at the beautiful flowers," the lady said to the little 3-year old, "they are blooming so brightly!" +The little one happily followed the lady around the garden. With every flower, the elderly lady pointed out its petals and fragrance. + +Then the two of them stopped when they reached a large puddle. The elderly woman bent down and asked the little one, "Do you see the reflection of the flowers in the puddle?" + +The little one nodded, but instead of answering, they suddenly started to cry. + +The elderly lady was very confused, but then she noticed the reflection. In the puddle, she could see the reflection of an angry bear! The elderly lady grabbed the little one and rushed back inside the house. + +Sadly, the bear found them and chased them inside. The little one screamed in terror and the elderly lady was too scared to do anything. The bear roared and mauled both of them until the elderly lady was no longer breathing. + +The little one screamed for help, but nobody came in time to help them. The light of the sun soon disappeared and the flowers stopped blooming. +One day, Joe and Jane were playing a game. Jane was making a house out of blocks. Joe was carrying a file with him. Suddenly, Jane got upset. + +"What's the matter?" asked Joe. + +"This house doesn't belong to me," Jane said, sadly. + +Joe handed over the file. "Let's put it inside," he said. + + Jane looked inside the file and smiled. "It belongs to me now," she said. + +Joe and Jane put the file in with all of the blocks. From then on, the house belonged to Jane. She was no longer upset. +Once upon a time there was a modern cone. The cone always wanted to go on an adventure, but it never seemed to get the chance. Until one day, it heard a ringing. + +The cone was curious, so it lifted its lid and peeped out. To its surprise it saw Carl, a three year-old boy. Carl was standing at the open door, ringing the bell. He was looking for somebody to play with. + +The cone didn't want to be left out. So it rolled over to Carl and said, "Hi there! Would you like to play with me? I'm the modern cone." + +Carl thought that sounded like a good plan, so he smiled and replied, "Yes please! Let's go on an adventure together!" + +And so Carl and the modern cone went off and had the best adventure ever. + +The End. +Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Timmy. He was three years old and he was very curious. One day, Timmy noticed something strange in the night sky. He saw a tiny, hidden star, which seemed to be twinkling just for him. + +Timmy's parents told him that the star was a special star that could grant him any wish. All he had to do was pray to the star with his wish in his heart and the star would make it come true. + +So Timmy went to his parents' side and closed his eyes tight. He prayed to the star and asked for a new toy. He opened his eyes and saw that the star was still twinkling down at him. + +The next morning, Timmy woke up to find a toy truck on his bedside. He was so excited and thanked the star with all his heart. From then on, Timmy prayed to the star every night in the hope of more surprises. + +The end. +One day, a man and a woman were walking through the park, swinging their golf clubs as they went. Suddenly, the man stopped and said, "I demand you play golf with me now!" The woman looked very unhappy. She had been feeling very miserable all day long, and didn't want to play golf. + +But the man kept demanding so the woman finally agreed. They began playing a game of golf. The woman was very tired and not playing very well. But the man kept demanding her to do better. Finally, the woman had had enough. She put down her clubs, put on her sunglasses, and walked away in anger. + +The man was so frustrated, he shouted at the woman as she walked away. But the woman didn't stop. She was still feeling miserable, but knew the man was never going to understand that. +Once there was a little boy named Tim. He was three years old and went on lots of adventures with his mom.

He couldn’t wait to have a tasty snack! +Once upon a time, there was a little girl called Sarah. She was three years old and really loved playing with her football. She was so excited each and every day when it was time to take out her football. + +Today, Sarah was feeling really moody and started to complain about having to do the same things all the time. She wanted something new and exciting. + +Suddenly, Sarah saw something black in the corner of her bedroom. She walked over, looked carefully, and discovered that it was a new football!

Why are you looking so fearful?" + +Henry said, "I don't know what to do. I am lost in the valley." + +The rabbit replied, "I know a way to help you feel better. Just enjoy being here in this beautiful valley. Look around and take in the wonderful sights and sounds of nature." + +Henry listened to the rabbit's advice and he started to enjoy his time in the valley.

So, it told the zipper all about its adventures, and they talked and laughed until the sun went down. The rabbit thanked the zipper, waved goodbye, and skipped off all the way home. +Once upon a time, there was a pond. Three little girls played by the pond, and they had lots of fun. + +One of the girls saw a funny bug. She said "Look, a funny bug! Let's catch it!"

Rose loved watching the swans in the lake. Everyday she would go to the edge of the lake and watch the beautiful white swans swim in circles. + +One day Rose noticed a swan. He was much larger than the rest, and instead of swimming circles he was swimming in a straight line. + +'What are you doing?', Rose shouted to the swan. + +'I'm swimming with a purpose', the swan replied. + +'What is a purpose?', Rose asked. + +'Having a purpose means that you value something- you put effort into something because you believe it is worth it', the swan said. + +Rose thought about this and decided she wanted to have a purpose too. From that day forward Rose spent every day trying to do things that she valued. She spent her time helping others and filling her days with activities she enjoyed. + +The moral of the story is that it is important to always value yourself and the things around you. If Rose had not stopped that day to talk to the swan, she would not have learned this valuable lesson. +Once there was a little bird who was looking for something to eat. She saw a bright red berry and assumed it was very tasty, so she flew down to get it. As soon as she started to eat it, she noticed that it tasted different and bad. She made a face and spat it out. + +The bird was very suspicious, so she asked her dad, "Daddy, what was that?" + +He sadly replied, "That was poison. It can make you very sick." + +The bird was so scared. She tried to clean up the area so nobody else could get poisoned. She was successful in getting rid of the berry and the bad taste out of her mouth. + +But, it was too late. The poison had already done it's damage and the poor little bird died the next day. +One day, a little girl was walking in the park. It was a lovely day, and she noticed a grill at the side of the path. She stopped and decided to take a closer look.

She went to pick it up and when she tried to pull it out of the grass, it didn't move! + +Furious, Lulu spun around and suddenly realized that she was being watched. Standing behind her was an old lady, scowling with her hands on her hips. + +The old lady said, "That rock isn't yours, so please put it back where it was. Stealing isn't nice!" + +Lulu was ashamed and put the rock back. Then, she jogged away from the forest, feeling a bit embarrassed but also proud that she didn't steal the rock. + +The end. +Once upon a time there was a family who had to move house. One day they started to unpack all the boxes they had brought with them. Inside one of the boxes they found a heavy old jar. It was filled with cherry pieces, so they decided to have some for lunch. + +But instead of dividing the cherries equally between them, the family members all wanted the biggest, the juiciest and the reddest cherries for themselves. No one thought about sharing the cherries or giving to the others first. Before long, the jar was empty and everyone was left feeling sad that there were no cherries left for anyone else. + +The family had learnt an important lesson from this experience: if you share what you have, everyone is happier. So the next time they unpacked something from the boxes, they shared it equally so that everyone could enjoy it together. +Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Joe.

She took a big breath and jumped right into the puddle. + +When she got to the middle, she started to sing a song. It was a silly song about little critters she had seen on her way into the woods. + +Suddenly, a small bird flew down and landed in a nearby bush. The bird began to sing along with Amy. + +Surprised, Amy stopped singing and said, "Wow, you're so brave, little bird!" + +The bird chirped loudly and flew away.

So it decided to leave the living room and go on an adventure. + +The wild waffle slid and hopped all the way to the backyard. It saw some tall trees and jumped around in the grass.

It was so happy to be there! It found a big, warm waffle and ate it all up. Then, it curled up and went to sleep, dreaming of its wild adventure. +"Uncle Timmy, I'm sleepy!" cried little Jamie. +Uncle Timmy chuckled. He knew that Jamie had had a tiring day, but he wanted to show him something special. +"Let's go outside and create something together," said Uncle Timmy. +Jamie was curious. He didn't know what he was going to create, but he trusted Uncle Timmy. +Once outside, Uncle Timmy handed Jamie a shovel and told him to start digging the ground. Jamie was confused, but he followed his uncle's instructions and soon enough he had created a deep hole. + +Uncle Timmy smiled and put a shiny coin in the hole. +"Jamie," said Uncle Timmy, "I think you've just created money!" +Jamie jumped with joy. He had never seen so much money in his life and he felt so proud of what he had done. Uncle Timmy had showed him the power of creating something out of nothing. + +Soon, Jamie was feeling much less sleepy. He was excited about what had happened and couldn't believe that he had managed to create money.

Can I ride on it?" + +The friendly voice answered, "Of course you can! And it will be a lot of fun!" + +So Jack raced home and told his mom the exciting news. With her help, Jack was soon setting up his very own zip-line in the backyard. He had so much fun soaring down the cable in his toy car. It was an adventure he would never forget. +Joe was so excited for the summer to start. He couldn't wait to go play outside each day. One morning, he took his toy truck to the park. As he was playing, he heard a voice behind him. + +"Oh no! I'm so sorry," the voice said. + +Joe turned around and saw a little girl. She had an ice cream cone. + +"What happened?" Joe asked. + +The girl sighed. "My ice cream is melting," she said. + +Joe felt sorry for the girl, so he offered to help. + +"I'll wait here while you go get some more," Joe said. + +The girl happily ran off, and Joe waited. Soon she returned with a new ice cream cone, and they both enjoyed it together. + +Joe smiled. He was glad to help the little girl. He knew that even the smallest act of kindness could make someone's day. +One day, there was a silly hand. It wanted to teach everyone! It waved all around and said, "Come, play with me!"
