They had many cubes of different colors and sizes. + +But Ben was naughty. He wanted to have all the cubes for himself. He did not like to share with Lily. He waited until Lily was not looking and took some of her cubes. He hid them under his shirt. + +Lily saw that some of her cubes were missing. She asked Ben, "Where are my cubes? Did you take them?" + +Ben shook his head. He said, "No, I did not take them. I don't know where they are." + +But Lily did not believe him. She saw a bump under his shirt. She said, "You are lying. You have my cubes under your shirt. Give them back to me." + +She tried to grab his shirt, but Ben ran away. He did not want to give back the cubes. He thought they were his now. + +Lily chased him around the room. She was angry and sad. She wanted her cubes back. She shouted, "Stop, Ben. Stop being naughty. Give me my cubes." + +But Ben did not stop. He kept running and laughing. He thought it was fun to make Lily mad. + +He did not see the chair in his way. He tripped over it and fell down. The cubes fell out of his shirt and scattered on the floor. They made a loud noise. + +Lily caught up with him. She saw the cubes on the floor. She said, "See, Ben. You did take my cubes. You were naughty. You should say sorry." + +Ben felt sorry. He hurt himself and he hurt Lily. He did not like to be naughty. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I was naughty. I should not have taken your cubes. Can we be friends again?" + +Lily smiled. She said, "Yes, Ben. We can be friends again. But you have to share with me. Sharing is nice. Can we play with the cubes together?" + +Ben nodded. He said, "Yes, Lily. We can play with the cubes together. Sharing is nice. I'm sorry I was naughty." + +They hugged and picked up the cubes. They played with them and made towers. They were happy and nice. They were friends. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, they have a task. They have to clean their room. Mom says, "You have to put away your toys and books. Then you can have a snack." + +Lily and Tom start to clean their room. But Tom sees a shiny car. He wants to play with it. He takes it from the shelf and makes vroom-vroom noises. Lily sees him and says, "Tom, that is not our task. We have to clean our room. Mom will be mad." + +Tom says, "But I like this car. It is shiny and fast. I want to play with it." He does not listen to Lily. He keeps playing with the car. Lily is angry. She says, "Tom, you are not a good friend. You are not helping me. You are making a mess." She takes the car from Tom and puts it on the shelf. + +Tom is sad. He says, "Lily, give me back the car. It is mine. You are mean." He tries to take the car from the shelf. But he is too short. He falls down and bumps his head. He cries. He says, "Ow, ow, ow. It hurts." + +Lily hears Tom cry. She feels sorry. She says, "Tom, are you okay? I am sorry. I did not mean to be mean. I was angry. You did not help me." She goes to Tom and hugs him. She says, "I am your friend. I will help you. Let me see your head." She looks at Tom's head. She sees a red spot. She says, "You have a boo-boo. We need a band-aid." + +Tom blinks his eyes. He says, "Thank you, Lily. You are a good friend. I am sorry. I did not help you. I was silly. I wanted to play with the car." He hugs Lily back. He says, "Can we share the car? Can we play with it after we clean our room?" + +Lily smiles. She says, "Yes, we can share the car. Yes, we can play with it after we clean our room. But first, we have to finish our task. Mom will be happy." She takes Tom's hand. They go to the shelf. They put away their toys and books. They clean their room. Then they have a snack. Then they play with the car. They are happy. They are friends. +Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big sign. The sign says: "Fun Fair Today! Come and enjoy rides, games and prizes!" Tom and Sue want to go to the fun fair. But they have no money. + +They see a man. The man has a lot of tickets. The tickets are for the fun fair. The man says: "I have some extra tickets. I will sell them to you for very cheap. Only one coin each." Tom and Sue think this is a good deal. They give the man their coins and take the tickets. + +They run to the fun fair. They are very happy. They want to try everything. But when they get to the gate, they have a problem. The gatekeeper looks at their tickets and shakes his head. He says: "These tickets are fake. They are not good. You cannot enter the fun fair. Go away." + +Tom and Sue are very sad. They feel cheated. They want their coins back. But the man is gone. He has run away with their money. Tom and Sue have no tickets, no money and no fun. They regret buying the cheap tickets from the man. They wish they had saved their coins for something else. They walk back to the park. They pass by the fun fair. They hear the laughter and music. They see the bright lights and colors. They feel very angry and sad. They have a bad day. +Lily and Max liked to play dress up. They had many hats and coats and shoes to try on. One day, they found a big white sheet in the closet. They thought it would be fun to be ghosts. + +They put the sheet over their heads and cut out holes for their eyes. They zipped up the sheet in the back so it would not fall off. Then they ran around the house, saying "Boo!" and "Woo!" They wanted to scare their mom and dad. + +But mom and dad were not scared. They smiled and laughed when they saw Lily and Max. They said they were very cute ghosts. Lily and Max were happy. They liked to make mom and dad smile. + +But there was someone who was not happy. It was Spot, the dog. He did not like the ghosts. He thought they were strange and noisy. He barked and growled at them. He tried to bite the sheet. He was a grumpy dog. + +Lily and Max saw that Spot was grumpy. They did not want to make him mad. They took off the sheet and hugged him. They said they were sorry. They said they were not ghosts, they were Lily and Max. They gave him a treat and a toy. Spot wagged his tail. He was not grumpy anymore. He liked Lily and Max. They were his friends. +Lily and Sam were playing in the park. They saw a big pond with ducks and fish. Lily wanted to feed the ducks, but Sam wanted to catch the fish. + +"Look, Sam, a duck!" Lily said, pointing to a yellow duck. She took some bread from her bag and threw it to the duck. The duck came closer and ate the bread. + +"Look, Lily, a fish!" Sam said, pointing to a shiny fish. He took a net from his bag and tried to catch the fish. The fish swam away and hid under a rock. + +Lily and Sam ran around the pond, looking for more ducks and fish. They were having fun, but they did not see the sign that said "Do not go near the water". + +Lily saw a big, white duck on the other side of the pond. She wanted to hold the duck and pet it. She did not listen to Sam, who said "Lily, stop! The water is deep and distant. You cannot swim!" + +Lily ran to the edge of the pond and reached out her hand to the duck. But the duck was too far and the water was too slippery. Lily lost her balance and fell into the water. + +Lily was scared and cold. She cried for help. Sam heard her cry and ran to her. He grabbed her hand and pulled her out of the water. + +Lily was wet and shivering. Sam was angry and worried. He hugged her and said "Lily, you are silly and naughty. You should not go near the water. You could have drowned!" + +Lily was sorry and sad. She said "Sam, I am sorry and silly. I wanted to hold the duck, but it was too distant. Thank you for saving me!" + +Sam and Lily walked back to their mom, who was sitting on a bench. She saw them and said "What happened? You are wet and dirty!" + +Sam and Lily told her what happened. She was shocked and relieved. She said "You are lucky and brave. You should be careful and listen. The water is dangerous and distant. You cannot swim!" + +She took them to the car and gave them dry clothes and warm drinks. She said "I love you and I am glad you are safe. Next time, do not go near the water. Hold my hand and stay close!" +Lily likes to make things with her toys. She has blocks, dolls, cars and more. She can make houses, roads, shops and families. She has a lot of fun with her toys. + +One day, she finds a watch in her dad's drawer. It is shiny and has a lot of buttons. She wants to make something with it. She thinks it is a useful thing. She puts it on her wrist and pretends to be a spy. + +She sneaks around the house and looks for clues. She talks to her watch and says things like "I see the bad guy" and "I need backup". She feels very smart and brave. + +But then, her dad comes home and sees her with his watch. He is not happy. He says the watch is not a toy. He says it is his special watch and he needs it for work. He takes it away from Lily and puts it back in his drawer. + +Lily is sad. She liked the watch. She thought it was a useful thing to make things with. She does not understand why her dad is angry. She goes to her room and cries. + +Her mom hears her and comes to comfort her. She hugs her and says she is sorry. She says she knows Lily likes to make things, but some things are not for making. She says the watch is very important to her dad and he does not want it to break. She says Lily can make things with her toys, but not with her dad's things. + +Lily nods and says she is sorry too. She says she did not mean to make her dad angry. She says she will not touch his watch again. She says she loves him and her mom. + +Her mom smiles and says she loves her too. She says she is proud of her for being creative and curious. She says she has a lot of toys that are useful for making things. She says she will help her find some new ones. + +She takes her to the living room and shows her a big box. She says it is a surprise for her. She opens it and Lily sees a lot of new toys.

She makes pictures, stories, animals and more. She has a lot of fun with her new toys. She forgets about the watch. She is happy. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys in their room. But they do not like to clean up their toys when they are done. They leave them on the floor, on the bed, and on the desk. Their mom tells them to put their toys away, but they do not listen. They say they are too busy or too tired. + +One day, mom has a surprise for them. She says she has a friend who needs some toys for her kids. She says she will call her friend and ask her to come over. She says she will give her some of the toys that Lily and Ben do not use anymore. Lily and Ben think this is a good idea. They have too many toys anyway. They do not care which ones mom gives away. + +Mom goes to their room and looks at the toys. She sees some that are broken, some that are dirty, and some that are missing parts. She says these are junk. She puts them in a big bag. She says she will throw them away. She sees some that are new, some that are shiny, and some that are fun. She says these are clean. She puts them in another big bag. She says she will give them to her friend. + +Lily and Ben come to their room and see the bags. They are curious. They ask mom what is in them. Mom tells them the truth. She says the junk toys are going to the trash, and the clean toys are going to her friend. Lily and Ben are shocked. They do not want to lose their clean toys. They say they are not junk. They say they love them. They say they are sorry for not cleaning up. They beg mom to let them keep them. + +Mom smiles. She says she was only joking. She says she wanted to teach them a lesson. She says they should take care of their toys and put them away when they are done. She says they should be grateful for what they have and share with others who have less. She says she will not give away their clean toys, but she will still throw away their junk toys. She says they should help her sort them out and make some space. + +Lily and Ben are relieved. They hug mom and say thank you. They say they learned their lesson. They say they will be more tidy and more generous. They help mom with the bags and put their clean toys in their boxes. They say they will call their friend and invite her to play with them. They say they have some toys they want to give her. They say they are happy. +Sam and Lily were at the beach with their mom. They liked to play in the sand and make castles and shapes. Sam had a big bucket and a shovel. Lily had a small bucket and a spoon. Sam was very good at making sand castles. He piled up the sand and patted it with his shovel. He made towers and walls and moats. Lily tried to copy him, but her sand castles were not as nice. She used her spoon to dig and scoop, but the sand kept falling apart. She was envious of Sam's sand castles. She wished she had a shovel too. + +"Look, mom, look at my castle!" Sam said, pointing at his masterpiece. "It's the biggest and the best!" + +Mom smiled and praised Sam. "Wow, Sam, you are very creative and talented. Your castle is amazing!" + +Lily felt sad and angry. She wanted mom to look at her castle too. But her castle was small and messy. She felt like mom didn't care about her. She wanted to ruin Sam's castle. She waited until mom was not looking. Then she ran to Sam's castle and kicked it with her foot. The sand flew everywhere. Sam's castle was destroyed. + +"Hey, stop it!" Sam shouted, seeing what Lily did. "Why did you do that? That's not nice!" + +Lily didn't answer. She just stuck out her tongue and ran away. She thought she would feel better, but she didn't. She felt worse. She knew she had done something wrong. She had hurt Sam's feelings. She had made mom angry. She had broken the rules. She wished she could say sorry, but she didn't know how. + +Mom saw what happened. She was disappointed and upset. She went to Sam and hugged him. She tried to comfort him. She said they could make another castle together. She also went to Lily and scolded her. She said she had to apologize to Sam and share her toys. She said she had to be kind and respectful. She said she loved them both, but they had to behave. + +Lily felt ashamed and sorry. She realized she had made a mistake. She wanted to make up with Sam and mom. She walked slowly to Sam and said in a small voice, "I'm sorry, Sam. I was envious of your castle. I shouldn't have kicked it. Can we be friends again?" + +Sam looked at Lily. He was still hurt and angry, but he also missed his sister. He said, "I'm sorry too, Lily. I should have let you use my shovel. You can have it if you want. Can we play together again?" + +Lily nodded and smiled. She said, "Thank you, Sam. You are a good brother. I like your castle. Can we make one together?" + +Sam nodded and smiled. He said, "Yes, Lily. You are a good sister. I like your castle too. Let's make one together." + +They hugged and made up. They took their buckets and shovels and went to the sand. They worked together and made a new castle. It was bigger and better than before. They pointed at it and said, "Look, mom, look at our castle! It's the biggest and the best!" + +Mom smiled and praised them. "Wow, Sam and Lily, you are very creative and talented. Your castle is amazing! And I'm very proud of you for saying sorry and sharing and playing nicely. You are good kids.

They like to share their toys and have fun. + +One day, the wind is very strong. It blows the leaves and the dust. Sara and Ben want to fly their kite. They take the kite and run to the yard. They hold the string and let the kite go up in the air. The kite flies high and fast. Sara and Ben laugh and clap. + +"Look at our kite!" Sara says. "It is so pretty and colorful!" + +"Yes, it is!" Ben says. "The wind helps it fly!" + +They watch the kite for a long time. They feel happy and proud. + +But then, something bad happens. The wind is too strong. It pulls the kite too hard. The string breaks and the kite flies away. Sara and Ben are sad and scared. They lose their kite. + +"Where is our kite?" Sara cries. "I want it back!" + +"Me too!" Ben cries. "It was our favorite toy!" + +They run after the kite, but they cannot catch it. The kite is gone. + +They sit on the grass and cry. They hug each other and feel sorry. + +Then, they hear a voice. It is their mom. She comes to the yard and sees them. She sees their tears and their broken string. + +"What happened, my loves?" she asks. "Why are you crying?" + +"We lost our kite!" Sara and Ben say. "The wind took it away!" + +"Oh, no!" mom says. "I'm so sorry! That was a regular kite. It was not strong enough for the wind. But don't worry, I have a surprise for you." + +She goes to the car and comes back with a big box. She opens it and shows them. Inside the box, there is a new kite. It is bigger and better than the old one. It has a long tail and a strong string. It has many colors and shapes. + +"Look, this is a special kite!" mom says. "It is made for the wind. It can fly higher and faster. It can do tricks and loops. It is very fun and safe. Do you like it?" + +Sara and Ben stop crying. They look at the new kite. They smile and nod. + +"Yes, we like it!" they say. "Thank you, mom! You are the best!" + +"You're welcome, my loves!" mom says. "Now, let's go and fly it together. But first, there is one more thing. This kite is not only for you. It is for all of us. It is a family kite. It includes me and dad and you. We can all fly it and enjoy it. We can all have fun and be happy. How does that sound?" + +Sara and Ben hug mom. They feel excited and grateful. + +"That sounds great!" they say. "We love you, mom! We love our family kite!" + +They take the new kite and go to the yard. They hold the string and let the kite go up in the air. The kite flies high and fast. Sara and Ben laugh and clap. Mom and dad join them and watch. The wind helps them fly. They feel happy and proud. They have a new kite and a new adventure. They have a family kite and a family bond. They have a regular day and a special memory. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play outside in the snow. One day, they see a big pile of ice near the road. It is shiny and white. + +"Look, ice!" Lily says. "Let's go and touch it." + +"OK," Ben says. They run to the ice and feel it with their hands. It is cold and hard. + +"Can we break it?" Lily asks. + +"Maybe," Ben says. He picks up a stick and hits the ice. It makes a loud noise, but it does not break. + +"Let me try," Lily says. She takes the stick and hits the ice harder. It makes a louder noise, but it does not break either. + +They hear a voice behind them. It is their mom. She is holding a bag of groceries. + +"What are you doing, kids?" she asks. + +"We are playing with the ice," Lily says. + +"It is harmless," Ben says. + +Mom smiles. She knows the ice is harmless, but she also knows it is cold and wet. + +"That's nice, but it's time to go inside," she says. "You need to warm up and have some hot chocolate." + +"OK, mom," Lily and Ben say. They drop the stick and follow mom to the house. They still like the ice, but they also like hot chocolate. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to go to the market with Mom. Mom has a big bag to put things in. Anna and Ben help Mom to find things. + +"Look, Mom, apples!" Anna says. She points to a red apple. "Can we have some?" + +"Sure, honey, we can have some apples," Mom says. She lifts Anna up and lets her pick an apple. Anna puts the apple in the bag. + +"Me too, me too!" Ben says. He wants to pick an apple too. Mom lifts Ben up and lets him pick an apple. Ben puts the apple in the bag. + +The market is loud. There are many people and cars and noises. Anna and Ben hear a dog barking, a horn honking, and a man shouting. + +"What is he saying, Mom?" Ben asks. He covers his ears. + +"He is saying that he has fresh fish for sale," Mom says. She smiles. "Do you like fish?" + +"Yuck, no!" Anna and Ben say together. They make a face. They do not like fish. + +"Okay, okay, no fish for us," Mom says. She laughs. "Let's go and find some bread and cheese and juice. Then we can go home and have a picnic." + +Anna and Ben nod. They like bread and cheese and juice. They hold Mom's hand and follow her. They are happy to go to the market with Mom. +Lily and Tom were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of fun making noises and pretending to be animals. Lily was a cat and Tom was a dog. They chased each other around the sofa and the table. + +"Meow, meow, I'm a cat and I'm fast!" Lily said. + +"Woof, woof, I'm a dog and I'm strong!" Tom said. + +They ran and jumped and laughed. They did not hear their mom calling them for lunch. They did not see their dad coming in with a big dish of soup. They did not notice the dish was hot and heavy. + +Dad walked into the living room with the dish. He saw Lily and Tom playing. He smiled and said, "Hey, kids, lunch is ready. Come and eat some soup. It's yummy and warm." + +But Lily and Tom did not hear him. They were too busy playing. They did not pause. They did not look. They did not stop. + +Lily ran towards Dad. She bumped into his leg. Dad lost his balance. The dish slipped from his hands. The soup spilled all over the floor. The dish broke into pieces. The soup burned Lily's skin. She screamed in pain. + +Dad dropped to the floor. He hugged Lily. He tried to calm her down. He said, "Oh, no, Lily, I'm so sorry. Are you okay? Let me see. It's okay. It's okay." + +Tom stopped playing. He saw what happened. He felt scared and sad. He said, "I'm sorry, Dad. I'm sorry, Lily. We were playing. We did not hear you. We did not see you. We did not stop." + +Dad looked at Tom. He had a serious face. He said, "Tom, this is not a game. This is very bad. You and Lily have to listen to me and Mom. You have to pay attention. You have to be careful. You could have hurt yourself or Lily or me. You have to stop when we call you. You have to pause when you play. You have to look where you are going. Do you understand?" + +Tom nodded. He said, "Yes, Dad. I understand. I'm sorry. I'm sorry." + +Dad said, "Come here, Tom. I love you. I love Lily. But you have to learn. You have to be more responsible. You have to be more respectful. You have to be more safe." + +He hugged Tom and Lily. He took them to the bathroom. He washed Lily's skin. He put some cream on it. He said, "It's okay, Lily. It's not too bad. It will heal soon. It will not hurt too much. You are brave. You are strong. You are my cat." + +Lily smiled a little. She said, "Meow, meow, thank you, Dad. I love you. I love Tom. I'm sorry. I'm sorry." + +Dad said, "It's okay, Lily. I forgive you. But you have to be more careful. You have to be more smart. You have to be more cat-like." + +He dried them with a towel. He took them to the kitchen. He said, "Let's have some lunch. I have some bread and cheese and fruit. It's not as yummy as soup, but it's still good. It's still warm. It's still food." + +They sat at the table. They ate their lunch. They did not talk much. They did not play much. They did not laugh much. They felt sorry. They felt ashamed. They felt sad. + +They had a bad day. They had a bad ending. They learned a hard lesson. They learned to pause. They learned to look. They learned to stop. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to pretend they were spies and look for clues. Lily had a hat and a magnifying glass. Tom had a coat and a gun. It was a toy gun, but it looked real. + +"Look, Lily, I found a clue!" Tom said. He pointed his gun at a tree. "There is a mark on the bark. Maybe someone was here." + +Lily ran to the tree and looked at the mark. She used her magnifying glass to see better. "You are right, Tom. It is a clue. But what does it mean?" + +"I don't know. Maybe it is a code. Or a sign. Or a trap. We have to be careful." Tom said. He looked around for more clues. + +Lily thought hard. She tried to guess what the mark meant. She looked at the shape and the color. She had an idea. "I know, Tom. I know what the mark means. It is not a clue. It is a letter." + +"A letter? What letter?" Tom asked. He was curious. + +Lily smiled. She pointed her magnifying glass at the mark. "It is a letter T. Like in Tom. And look, there is another letter next to it. It is an O. Like in Tom. And another one. It is an M. Like in Tom. The mark spells your name, Tom. It is your name on the tree." + +Tom was surprised. He looked at the mark again. He saw his name on the tree. He felt happy. He hugged Lily. "You are right, Lily. It is my name on the tree. How did you guess that? You are so smart." + +Lily hugged Tom back. "I used my magnifying glass. It is very useful. And you are very brave. You used your gun to find the clue. We are a great team, Tom. We are the best spies ever." +Anna and Ben love to play in the park. They like to run, jump, slide and swing. They also like to pretend they are animals or superheroes. One day, they decide to perform a show for their mom and dad. They use the landscape of the park as their stage. + +Anna says, "I will be a lion and you will be a monkey. We will roar and climb and make funny noises. Mom and dad will clap and laugh." + +Ben says, "OK, that sounds fun. But we need a name for our show. How about 'The Wild Adventure'?" + +Anna nods and they start to practice. They find a big tree to climb, a rock to roar from, and a bench to jump over. They make faces and sounds and act out their story. + +Mom and dad watch from a distance and smile. They are proud of their children and their imagination. They wait for the show to start. + +Anna and Ben are ready to perform. They call out, "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to 'The Wild Adventure'! Please enjoy our show!" + +They begin to act and have fun. They make mom and dad laugh and clap. They feel happy and proud. + +But after a while, they start to feel tired. They have used a lot of energy and they need a break. They end their show with a bow and a thank you. + +Mom and dad come over and hug them. They say, "That was a wonderful show! You are very talented and creative. We loved it!" + +Anna and Ben smile and say, "Thank you! We had fun!" + +Mom and dad say, "You must be tired. How about we go home and have a snack and a nap?" + +Anna and Ben agree. They are tired, but they are also happy. They had a great day in the park. They performed a show, they used the landscape, and they made their parents happy. They hold hands and walk home with mom and dad. They are a happy family. +Lily and Ben are twins. They live in a big city with many cars and buildings. They like to look out the window and see the lights at night. Sometimes they hear sirens and horns. + +One day, their mom says, "We are going to visit grandma in the country. She has a farm with cows and chickens and a big garden. You will love it there." + +Lily and Ben are excited. They pack their bags and get in the car. They drive for a long time. They see trees and hills and fields. They see animals and flowers and birds. They say, "Wow, this is so pretty!" + +They arrive at grandma's house. She hugs them and says, "Welcome, my sweeties. I have a surprise for you. Come to the kitchen and see." + +They follow her to the kitchen. They see a big bowl of dough on the table. Grandma says, "I am making cookies for you. Do you want to help me?" + +Lily and Ben say, "Yes, please!" Grandma gives them spoons and aprons. She says, "You can stir the dough and add some chocolate chips. Then we will roll them and cut them into shapes. What shapes do you like?" + +Lily says, "I like stars and hearts." Ben says, "I like circles and squares." They stir the dough and add the chocolate chips. They have fun making the shapes. They put them on a tray and grandma puts them in the oven. + +They smell the cookies baking. They are hungry and happy. They say, "Thank you, grandma. You are the best. We love you and your cookies." Grandma says, "I love you too, my darlings. You are my cookies." They laugh and hug. They wait for the cookies to cool. Then they eat them with milk. They are delicious. They say, "This is the best day ever!" +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play in the garden. They had a big box full of toys, but they also liked to find things in the earth. They would crawl on their hands and knees and dig with their fingers or a spoon. + +One day, they found a shiny stone that was red and yellow. Lily wanted to keep it, but Ben wanted to look at it too. Lily was bossy and said, "No, it's mine! I found it first!" Ben was sad and said, "But we can share it, Lily. It's not fair!" + +Lily did not listen and put the stone in her pocket. She ran away to the other side of the garden, where there was a big tree. She climbed up the tree and sat on a branch. She took out the stone and smiled. She thought it was the most beautiful thing she had ever seen. + +But she did not see the big bird that was flying in the sky. The bird saw the shiny stone and wanted it too. It swooped down and snatched the stone from Lily's hand. Lily screamed and tried to grab it back, but it was too late. The bird flew away with the stone. + +Lily was very angry and scared. She cried and called for Ben. Ben heard her and ran to the tree. He saw what had happened and felt sorry for Lily. He climbed up the tree and hugged her. He said, "It's okay, Lily. I'm here. We can find another stone together." + +Lily stopped crying and hugged Ben back. She said, "I'm sorry, Ben. I was mean to you. You were right. We should share things. Can we be friends again?" + +Ben smiled and said, "Of course, Lily. We are twins. We are always friends." They climbed down the tree and went back to the box of toys. They played happily and forgot about the shiny stone. They learned that sharing was better than being bossy. +Sam and Lily were twins. They liked to play in the snow. One day, they saw a big hill. They wanted to slide down the hill on their sled. + +"Let's go, Lily!" Sam said. He took the sled and started to walk up the hill. Lily followed him. + +But the hill was very high and steep. Sam got tired. He could not carry the sled anymore. He stopped and put the sled down. + +"Lily, can you help me?" he asked. "The sled is too heavy for me." + +Lily nodded. She was a good sister. She helped Sam carry the sled. They took turns holding the sled. They worked together. + +Soon, they reached the top of the hill. They were happy. They put the sled on the snow and sat on it. + +"Ready, Lily?" Sam said. + +"Ready, Sam!" Lily said. + +They pushed the sled and went down the hill. They went very fast. They felt the wind on their faces. They laughed and shouted. + +They had so much fun. They slid down the hill many times. They did not want to stop. + +But then, they saw their mom. She was waving at them. She had a big smile on her face. + +"Come on, kids!" she called. "It's time to go home. I have a surprise for you!" + +Sam and Lily wondered what the surprise was. They got off the sled and ran to their mom. She hugged them and kissed them. + +"You did a great job, Sam and Lily!" she said. "You helped each other carry the sled. I'm so proud of you!" + +She took their hands and led them to the car. She put the sled in the trunk. + +"What's the surprise, mom?" Sam asked. + +"You'll see when we get home," she said. + +She drove them home. When they got there, they smelled something delicious. They followed their mom to the kitchen. + +There, they saw a big cake on the table. It had candles and frosting. It said "Happy Birthday, Sam and Lily!" + +Sam and Lily gasped. They had forgotten that it was their birthday. They were so excited. + +"Wow, mom! Thank you!" they said. + +"You're welcome, my sweeties!" she said. "This is your surprise. A warm cake for my warm kids!" + +She lit the candles and sang to them. Sam and Lily blew out the candles and made a wish. They cut the cake and ate it. It was yummy. + +They had a wonderful birthday. They thanked their mom for the cake and the sled. They hugged her and told her they loved her. + +They were happy. They felt warm inside. They felt welcome at home. +Sam and Tom were best friends. They liked to play in the park with their dogs. Sam had a big dog named Max. Tom had a small dog named Pip. One day, they saw a weird man in the park. He had a big bag and a long coat. He looked at the dogs and smiled. + +"Hello, boys," he said. "Do you want to see something cool?" + +Sam and Tom were curious. They nodded. + +"Come with me," the man said. He opened his bag and took out a sausage. "This is a magic sausage. It can make your dogs do anything you want. Watch this." + +He threw the sausage to Max. Max ran after it and caught it in his mouth. He chewed it and swallowed it. Then he started to act weird. He barked like a duck. He rolled on the ground. He ran in circles. + +Sam and Tom laughed. They thought it was funny. + +"Wow, that's cool," Sam said. "Can I have one for Pip?" + +"Sure, sure," the man said. He took out another sausage and threw it to Pip. Pip ran after it and caught it in his mouth. He chewed it and swallowed it. Then he started to act weird. He grew bigger and bigger. He sprouted wings and horns. He breathed fire. + +Sam and Tom screamed. They were scared. + +"What did you do to Pip?" Tom cried. "He's a monster!" + +The man laughed. He zipped his coat and revealed a badge. He was a bad man. He worked for a mean company that wanted to make weird animals. + +"I'm sorry, boys," he said. "But I need Pip for my experiment. He's the perfect specimen. Don't worry, you'll get a new dog soon." + +He grabbed Pip by the leash and ran away. Sam and Tom tried to stop him, but they were too late. The man and Pip disappeared. + +Sam and Tom were sad. They hugged Max and cried. They wished they never met the weird man. They wished they never gave Pip the magic sausage. They wished they could have their friend back. +Tim and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big bird with a long neck and legs. It was an ostrich. Tim wanted to touch it. He ran to the bird and tried to take its feather. + +"Stop!" Lily shouted. "You can't take its feather. That is not nice. The bird needs its feather to keep warm and fly." + +But Tim did not listen. He pulled hard on the feather. The ostrich was angry. It pecked Tim on the hand. Tim cried out in pain. He dropped the feather and ran back to Lily. + +"I'm sorry, Lily," Tim said. "You were right. I should not have taken its feather. It was smooth and pretty, but it was not mine. The bird was hurt and mad. I was hurt and sad." + +Lily hugged Tim and gave him a band-aid. She said, "It's okay, Tim. You learned your lesson. Next time, you can look at the bird, but not touch it. The bird will be happy, and so will you." + +Tim nodded and smiled. He said, "Thank you, Lily. You are a good friend. I will be more careful and kind. I will not take things that are not mine." +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they find a big box. They open the box and see many toys inside. They are very happy. + +"Look, Anna, a ball!" Ben says. He takes the ball and throws it in the air. Anna catches it and laughs. + +"Look, Ben, a doll!" Anna says. She takes the doll and hugs it. Ben smiles. + +They play with the toys for a long time. They have a lot of fun. They also share the toys with other children in the park. They make new friends. + +But then, the sun goes down. It is time to go home. Anna and Ben are sad. They do not want to leave the toys. + +"Can we take the toys home?" Anna asks. + +"No, we cannot," Ben says. "The toys are not ours. They belong to someone else. Maybe they will come back for them." + +"Then what can we do?" Anna asks. + +Ben thinks for a moment. He has an idea. + +"I know!" he says. "We can bury the toys in the ground. Then, no one will find them. And we can come back tomorrow and dig them up again." + +Anna likes the idea. She nods. + +"Okay, let's do that," she says. + +They find a shovel and a bucket. They dig a big hole in the ground. They put the toys in the hole. They cover the hole with dirt. They pat the dirt with their hands. + +"There, we did it," Ben says. + +"Yes, we did," Anna says. + +They are proud of themselves. They look at each other and smile. + +They hold hands and walk to their parents. They say goodbye to their new friends. They promise to come back tomorrow. + +As they leave the park, they hear music. They see some people dancing on the grass. They are wearing colorful clothes and making funny sounds. They look happy. + +Anna and Ben stop and watch. They like the music. They like the dance. + +"Can we dance too?" Anna asks. + +"Sure, why not?" Ben says. + +They join the people on the grass. They copy their moves and sounds. They dance and laugh. They have more fun. + +The people are nice to them. They welcome them to their dance. They say they are always available for anyone who wants to join. + +Anna and Ben are glad. They make more friends. They learn a new dance. + +They dance until it is dark. Then, they say goodbye to the people. They thank them for the dance. + +They hold hands and walk to their parents. They are tired but happy. They had a great day. + +They can't wait for tomorrow. They want to dig up the toys. They want to play with them again. They want to dance again. + +They hug their parents and go home. They sleep well. They dream of the park. They dream of the toys. They dream of the dance. +Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys. Sara has a big doll. Ben has a small car. One day, they want to try something new. + +"Can I borrow your doll?" Ben asks Sara. + +"OK, but be careful. She is my favorite," Sara says. + +"Can I borrow your car?" Sara asks Ben. + +"OK, but don't crash it. It is very fast," Ben says. + +They swap their toys and play for a while. Ben pretends the doll is a doctor. He gives her a stethoscope and a bandage. Sara pretends the car is a rocket. She makes zooming noises and flies it around the room. + +They have a lot of fun. They learn new things. They are happy. + +"Thank you for letting me borrow your doll. She is very smart and kind," Ben says. + +"Thank you for letting me borrow your car. It is very fun and cool," Sara says. + +They give back their toys and hug each other. They are good friends. They are a success. They are proud. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big red truck. It is a fireman truck. They want to see it. + +"Look, Tom, a fireman truck!" Sam says. "Let's go and say hello to the fireman." + +"OK, Sam, let's go," Tom says. They run to the truck. + +The fireman is busy. He is checking the hose and the ladder. He does not see Tom and Sam. They sneak behind the truck. + +"Boo!" they shout. They want to scare the fireman. + +But the fireman is not scared. He is angry. He turns around and sees Tom and Sam. + +"Hey, what are you doing here?" he says. "You should not scare a fireman. He has a very important job. He has to help people when there is a fire. You could have made him drop the hose or the ladder. That is very dangerous." + +Tom and Sam are scared. They did not mean to make the fireman angry. They did not know he had a very important job. + +"We are sorry, fireman," they say. "We just wanted to see your truck. We think you are very brave and cool. We did not want to make you drop anything." + +The fireman sees that Tom and Sam are sorry. He is not angry anymore. He is kind. + +"It's OK, boys," he says. "I know you did not mean any harm. But you have to be careful around fireman trucks. They are not toys. They are tools. Do you want to learn more about them?" + +"Yes, please, fireman," Tom and Sam say. They are happy. They want to learn more about the fireman truck. + +The fireman smiles. He shows them the hose and the ladder. He tells them how he uses them to put out fires and save people. He lets them wear his helmet and his coat. He makes them feel like firemen. + +Tom and Sam have fun. They learn a lot. They thank the fireman for his time and his kindness. + +"Thank you, fireman," they say. "You are very brave and cool. We are sorry we scared you. We will not do it again." + +"You are welcome, boys," the fireman says. "You are very polite and curious. I am glad you like fireman trucks. Maybe one day you will be firemen too." + +Tom and Sam smile. They wave goodbye to the fireman. They run back to the park. They have a new friend. They have a new dream. They want to be firemen. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big billboard near their house. It had many colors and pictures of toys and candy. Tom and Lily wanted to go closer and see what it said. + +"Let's cross the street and look at the billboard," Tom said. + +"No, we can't do that," Lily said. "Mom told us to stay on this side. The street is dangerous. There are cars and trucks that go very fast. They can hurt us." + +"But I want to see the billboard," Tom said. "It looks so fun. Maybe we can get some of the toys and candy. Come on, Lily, it's not far." + +Tom did not listen to Lily. He ran across the street without looking. Lily was scared and followed him. She did not want Tom to be alone. But when they reached the other side, they heard a loud horn. A big truck was coming their way. It was too late to go back. + +"Tom! Lily! Stop!" Mom shouted. She saw them from the window and ran outside. She grabbed them and pulled them to the sidewalk. The truck passed by and missed them by a hair. + +Mom was very angry and scared. She hugged them and cried. Then she scolded them. + +"Tom and Lily, what were you thinking? You could have been killed! You broke the rule. You crossed the street without me. You did not listen to me or to Lily. You were very naughty. You made me very sad and worried." + +Tom and Lily felt sorry. They knew they did a bad thing. They said sorry to Mom and to each other. + +"Mom, we are sorry. We won't do it again. We love you," they said. + +Mom calmed down and said, "I love you too, but you have to be careful and obey. You have to learn from your mistake. I have to punish you. You can't play outside for a week. You have to stay in your room and read books. Do you understand?" + +Tom and Lily nodded. They understood. They went to their room and read books. They did not look at the billboard anymore. They learned their lesson. They were glad they were safe and had Mom. +Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play together. One day, they go to the park with their moms. They see a big lake. There are many boats on the lake. Some are small, some are big. + +"Look, Sara, that is a yacht!" Tom says. He points to a very big boat. It has a white sail and many windows. "It is amazing!" + +Sara nods. She likes the yacht too. It looks like a house on the water. She wonders who lives on the yacht. Maybe they have many toys and books. + +"Can we go on the yacht, Mom?" Tom asks his mom. + +"No, honey, we can't. The yacht belongs to someone else. We can only look at it from here." Tom's mom says. + +"But why?" Tom asks. He is sad. He wants to see the yacht up close. + +"Because the yacht is very expensive. The people who own it work very hard to buy it. They don't let strangers on their boat. It is their private place." Tom's mom explains. + +"Oh, I see." Tom says. He still thinks the yacht is amazing, but he understands that he can't go on it. He decides to play with Sara instead. They run and chase each other on the grass. They have fun. They forget about the yacht. They are happy. +Tom likes to watch videos on his tablet. He likes videos of animals, cars and songs. He does not like videos of scary things, like monsters or spiders. Sometimes, he finds new videos on the internet that he wants to watch. + +One day, he sees a video of a big dinosaur. He thinks it looks fun, so he taps on it. But the video is not fun. It is terrible. The dinosaur is very loud and angry. It roars and chases people. It breaks buildings and cars. It makes Tom feel scared and sad. + +Tom wants to stop the video, but he does not know how. He tries to press the buttons on the tablet, but nothing happens. The video keeps playing. The dinosaur keeps roaring. Tom starts to cry. + +Mom hears Tom crying. She comes to see what is wrong. She sees the video on the tablet. She sees the terrible dinosaur. She quickly grabs the tablet and turns it off. She hugs Tom and tells him it is okay. She says the video is not real. It is just a display of pretend things. She says she will help him find better videos to watch. + +Tom feels better. He says he does not like the dinosaur video. He says he likes videos of nice things, like puppies and flowers. Mom smiles and says she likes them too. She finds some videos of nice things on the tablet and plays them for Tom. Tom watches them and laughs. He forgets about the terrible dinosaur. He is happy. +Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They had a big bucket of water and two guns that could squirt water. They liked to pour water into the guns and shoot each other. It was fun and they laughed a lot. + +But Sam, who lived next door, was grumpy. He did not like water or noise. He wanted to read his book and be quiet. He saw Lily and Tom playing and he got angry. He had a real gun that could shoot bullets. He did not like guns that squirted water. He thought they were silly and childish. + +He went to his window and opened it. He shouted at Lily and Tom to stop playing. But they did not hear him. They were too busy having fun. He got more angry. He took his real gun and aimed at them. He pulled the trigger and shot at them. + +Lily and Tom heard a loud bang. They felt a sharp pain in their chests. They fell to the ground and did not move. They did not laugh or play anymore. They were dead. + +Sam saw what he had done. He felt scared and sorry. He dropped his real gun and ran away. He did not read his book or be quiet. He cried and hid. He had killed Lily and Tom. He had done a very bad thing. +One day, Tom and Lily were playing in their room. They liked to act like different animals and make noises. Tom was a lion and Lily was a bird. + +"Roar!" Tom said. "I am a big and strong lion. I can catch any bird I want." + +"Tweet, tweet!" Lily said. "I am a fast and smart bird. I can fly away from any lion." + +They ran around the room, pretending to chase and escape each other. They had a lot of fun. + +But then, they heard a loud noise. It was the alarm. It made a beep, beep, beep sound. It meant there was a fire in the house. + +"Fire!" Tom and Lily said. They were scared. They did not know what to do. + +They ran to the door, but it was locked. They tried to open it, but they could not. + +"Help!" they shouted. "We are stuck!" + +They hoped someone would hear them and come to save them. + +Then, they saw a window. It was open. They could see the garden and the street. + +"Look!" Lily said. "There is a window. Maybe we can get out." + +She had an original idea. She grabbed a blanket and tied it to the bed. She made a rope. + +"Come on!" she said to Tom. "We can use this to climb down." + +She was brave. She went first. She held the blanket and slid down to the ground. + +"Are you okay?" Tom asked. + +"Yes, I am okay," Lily said. "Now, you come." + +Tom followed her. He was also brave. He held the blanket and slid down to the ground. + +They were safe. They ran away from the fire. + +Soon, they saw their mom and dad. They were outside. They were looking for them. + +"Mom! Dad!" Tom and Lily said. They ran to hug them. + +"We are here! We are okay!" + +Their mom and dad were happy. They were also proud. + +"You are amazing!" their mom said. "How did you get out?" + +"We acted like animals," Tom said. "Lily was a bird and I was a lion. And Lily had an original idea. She made a rope with a blanket." + +Their dad smiled. He said, "You are very clever and brave. You saved yourselves. We love you very much." + +They hugged and kissed. They were glad they were together. They did not care about the fire. They had each other. +Lila loved to eat rice. She liked how it felt in her mouth, soft and warm. She liked how it tasted, sweet and salty. She liked how it filled her tummy, making her happy and strong. + +One day, Lila went to visit her grandma. Grandma had cooked a big pot of rice for lunch. Lila was enthusiastic. She wanted to eat a lot of rice. She did not want to share with anyone else. + +She took a big spoon and scooped some rice from the pot. She put it in her bowl and ate it fast. She did not say thank you to grandma. She did not look at anyone else. She just wanted more rice. + +She took another big spoon and scooped some more rice from the pot. She put it in her bowl and ate it faster. She did not notice that grandma was sad. She did not notice that her cousin was hungry. She just wanted more rice. + +She took another big spoon and scooped some more rice from the pot. She put it in her bowl and ate it fastest. She did not care that the pot was empty. She did not care that she had eaten all the rice. She just wanted more rice. + +But then, she felt something bad in her tummy. She felt sick and sore. She felt too full and heavy. She felt sorry and ashamed. She had eaten too much rice. She had been greedy and rude. + +She looked at grandma and saw her eyes were wet. She looked at her cousin and saw his face was sad. She felt bad in her heart. She had hurt their feelings. She had been selfish and mean. + +She said sorry to grandma and gave her a hug. She said sorry to her cousin and gave him a smile. She said she would share next time and be nice. She learned her lesson. She felt better in her tummy and in her heart. She felt grateful and kind. +Lily and Max were playing with their toys in the living room. Lily had a purple doll that she loved very much. Max had a red car that he liked to zoom around. They were having fun until Max saw Lily's doll and wanted to play with it. + +"Can I have your doll?" Max asked Lily. + +"No, it's mine!" Lily said. "You have your car!" + +"But I want the doll!" Max said. He tried to grab the doll from Lily, but Lily held on tight. + +"Let go!" Lily shouted. "You're hurting her!" + +Max pulled harder and the doll's arm came off. Lily gasped and started to cry. Max dropped the doll and looked scared. + +"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Max said. "I didn't mean to break it!" + +Lily picked up the doll and hugged it. She was very sad and angry. She glared at Max and said, "You're a bad brother! You broke my doll!" + +Max felt bad and wanted to make Lily happy again. He looked around and saw a roll of tape on the table. He had an idea. He took the tape and ran to Lily. + +"Please don't cry, Lily," Max said. "I can fix your doll. Look, I have tape!" + +Lily sniffed and looked at Max. She saw the tape and the doll's arm. She was still mad, but she was curious. + +"How can you fix it with tape?" Lily asked. + +"Watch me," Max said. He took the doll's arm and put some tape around it. He stuck it back to the doll's body. He smoothed the tape and said, "There, it's fixed!" + +Lily looked at the doll. The arm was still purple, but it had a shiny bandage around it. She touched it and moved it. It stayed on. + +"Wow, you did fix it!" Lily said. She smiled and hugged the doll. She looked at Max and said, "Thank you, Max. You're a good brother!" + +Max smiled and hugged Lily. He said, "You're welcome, Lily. You're a good sister!" + +They hugged and played with the doll and the car. They were happy again. They learned to share and to fix things. They didn't know how to use big words, but they knew how to say sorry and thank you. They were good friends. +Ben and Mia were best friends. They liked to play in the woods behind their houses. One day, they saw a big, red fox. The fox looked hungry and mean. + +"Let's plan a trap for the fox," Ben said. "We can use some cheese and a net." + +"Good idea," Mia said. "The fox will love cheese and we can catch him in the net." + +They found some cheese in Ben's kitchen and a net in Mia's garage. They went back to the woods and looked for a perfect spot. They saw a big tree with a hole. They put the cheese inside the hole and tied the net to a branch. + +"Now we wait," Ben said. "The fox will come and smell the cheese. He will go inside the hole and we will pull the net." + +They hid behind a bush and watched. Soon, they heard a rustle. The fox came out of the woods and sniffed the air. He saw the hole and ran towards it. + +"Ready, Mia?" Ben whispered. + +"Ready, Ben," Mia whispered back. + +They waited for the fox to go inside the hole. But the fox was not stupid. He saw the net and the cheese. He knew it was a trap. He stopped and looked around. He saw Ben and Mia behind the bush. He smiled a sly smile. + +"Hello, little ones," the fox said. "Do you want to play with me?" + +Ben and Mia were scared. They knew the fox was not friendly. They tried to run away, but the fox was faster. He jumped over the net and ran after them. + +"Help, help!" Ben and Mia shouted. + +They ran towards their houses, hoping someone would hear them. The fox was close behind them, licking his lips. He thought they would make a perfect snack. +Tom and Sue are friends. They like to draw with ink. They have many colors of ink. They draw animals, flowers, cars and more. + +One day, Tom sees a new ink in the shop. It is shiny and sparkly. He wants it very much. He asks Sue to lend him some money. Sue says yes, but Tom has to pay her back soon. Tom says okay and takes the money. + +Tom buys the new ink and runs home. He draws a big star with the shiny ink. He is very happy. He forgets about Sue and the money. + +The next day, Sue comes to Tom's house. She wants to see his new ink. She also wants her money back. She knocks on the door. Tom opens it. He sees Sue and feels bad. + +"Hi, Tom. Can I see your new ink?" Sue asks. + +"Hi, Sue. Yes, you can. Come in," Tom says. + +Sue sees the big star on the paper. She thinks it is pretty. But she also remembers the money. + +"Tom, do you have my money?" Sue asks. + +Tom looks at the floor. He does not have the money. He spent it all on the ink. + +"Sorry, Sue. I don't have your money. I forgot to pay you back," Tom says. + +Sue is sad and angry. She trusted Tom. She lent him her money. But he did not pay her back. He was not a good friend. + +"That's not fair, Tom. You broke your promise. You should pay me back. You should be honest and smart," Sue says. + +Tom feels sorry. He knows he was wrong. He wants to be a good friend. He wants to be honest and smart. + +"Sorry, Sue. You are right. I was not fair. I was not honest. I was not smart. Please forgive me. I will pay you back. I will save some money. I will also give you some of my ink. I will share with you," Tom says. + +Sue smiles. She sees that Tom is sorry. She sees that he wants to change. She forgives him. She thanks him. She hugs him. + +They are friends again. They draw together with the ink. They have fun. They learn to be honest and smart. They learn to pay back what they borrow. They learn to share. They are happy. +Anna and Ben were playing with their dolls. Anna had a big doll with a pink dress and long hair. Ben had a small doll with a blue shirt and a hat. They liked to pretend that their dolls were friends and went on adventures. + +One day, Anna saw a shiny button on Ben's doll. She wanted it for her doll. She said to Ben, "Give me that button. It is pretty. My doll needs it more than yours." + +Ben said, "No, Anna. This is my button. It is part of my doll's shirt. It is a stitch. If I give it to you, my doll will have a hole." + +Anna did not listen. She grabbed Ben's doll and tried to pull the button off. Ben was angry and scared. He pulled his doll back and shouted, "Stop it, Anna. You are hurting my doll. You are being mean." + +They tugged and tugged until the button came off. But it was not a button. It was a secret pocket. Inside the pocket, there was a note. It said, "To my dear son, I made this doll for you when you were a baby. I hope you always love it and take good care of it. It has a stitch on its shirt that is a pocket. Inside the pocket, there is something special for you. It is a key to a treasure box. The treasure box is hidden in the attic. It has many things that belonged to me when I was a child. I want you to have them and enjoy them. Love, your unknown grandpa." + +Anna and Ben were shocked. They did not know that Ben had a grandpa who made the doll for him. They did not know that there was a treasure box in the attic. They felt sorry for what they did. They said to each other, "We are sorry. We should not have fought over the button. We should have shared and respected each other's dolls. We should have asked before we took something that was not ours." + +They hugged and made up. They decided to go to the attic and look for the treasure box. They hoped that they could find it and learn more about Ben's grandpa. They learned that sometimes, a stitch can hide a surprise. And sometimes, a surprise can teach a lesson. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a ball, a bike and a kite. They have fun together. + +One day, Tom sees a big bell in the park. He wants to ring it. He runs to the bell and pulls the rope. The bell makes a loud noise. "Ding dong, ding dong!" Tom laughs. + +Lily hears the noise and looks for Tom. She sees him by the bell. She is angry. She thinks Tom is rude. She says, "Tom, stop it! You are making too much noise. You are not nice. You are bitter." + +Tom is surprised. He does not understand. He likes the bell. He thinks it is fun. He says, "Lily, why are you angry? I am not bitter. I am happy. The bell is fun. Come and ring it with me." + +Lily shakes her head. She does not want to ring the bell. She thinks it is boring. She says, "No, thank you. I do not like the bell. It is loud and annoying. I like the ball, the bike and the kite. They are quiet and fun. Come and play with me." + +Tom and Lily look at each other. They do not agree. They do not know what to do. They are sad. They are not friends anymore. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big bird with a long neck and a black and white body. It was a swan. + +"Look, a swan!" Tom said. "It has a big wing. Can it fly?" + +"I don't know," Lily said. "Let's ask it." + +They ran to the swan and said hello. The swan looked at them and said, "Hello, children. I am a swan. I can fly, but I like to swim too." + +"Wow, you can talk!" Tom said. "You are a wise bird. Can you show us how you fly?" + +The swan smiled and said, "Sure, I can show you. But you have to be quiet and not scare me. And you have to applaud when I fly." + +Tom and Lily nodded and said, "OK, we will be quiet and applaud. We want to see you fly." + +The swan flapped its big wing and lifted off the water. It soared in the sky and made a circle. It looked graceful and beautiful. + +Tom and Lily clapped their hands and said, "Wow, you are amazing! You fly so well!" + +The swan landed on the water and said, "Thank you, children. You are very kind and polite. I like you. Do you want to be my friends?" + +Tom and Lily said, "Yes, we want to be your friends. You are a nice and wise swan. Can we play with you again?" + +The swan said, "Of course, you can play with me again. I will be here in the park. Come and visit me anytime. Goodbye, children." + +Tom and Lily said, "Goodbye, swan. Thank you for showing us how you fly. We will see you soon." + +They waved to the swan and ran back to their mom. They told her about the swan and how it could fly and talk. Their mom smiled and said, "That sounds like a wonderful story. You are very lucky to meet such a special swan." +Lila and Ben were twins who liked to play in the forest. They saw many animals and plants there. One day, they found a big mushroom that was red and white. It looked yummy. + +"Can we eat it?" Lila asked. + +"I don't know," Ben said. "Maybe it is bad for us." + +"Let's ask Mom," Lila said. "She knows everything." + +They picked the mushroom and ran back to their house. Mom was in the kitchen, making soup. + +"Mom, look what we found!" Lila said, showing her the mushroom. + +Mom frowned and took the mushroom from Lila. "This is a silly mushroom," she said. "It is not good to eat. It can make you sick or sleepy. Where did you find it?" + +"In the forest," Ben said. + +"You should not pick mushrooms in the forest," Mom said. "Some of them are dangerous. You should only eat mushrooms that come from the store or the garden. Do you understand?" + +"Yes, Mom," Lila and Ben said. + +Mom threw the mushroom in the trash and gave them a hug. "I'm glad you asked me first," she said. "Next time, be careful what you touch in the forest. And don't lie to me, okay?" + +"Okay, Mom," Lila and Ben said. + +They learned their lesson and never picked silly mushrooms again. They only ate good mushrooms that Mom cooked for them. They were happy and healthy. +Anna and Ben are playing with paper and crayons. They want to make a picture for their mom. Anna draws a big sun and some flowers. Ben draws a car and a house. They are happy with their picture. + +But then, Anna has an idea. She sees the scissors on the table. She suggests to Ben that they cut out their picture and make it into a puzzle. Ben thinks that is a fun idea. He nods and smiles. They take the scissors and start to cut. + +But they are not careful with the scissors. They cut too fast and too close to their fingers. They do not listen to mom when she tells them to stop. They think they know how to use the scissors. + +Suddenly, Ben cries out. He has cut his finger with the scissors. It hurts and it bleeds. He drops the scissors and the paper. He runs to mom and shows her his finger. Mom is angry and worried. She takes Ben to the bathroom and puts a band-aid on his finger. She tells him that scissors are sharp and dangerous. She tells him that he should never play with scissors without her help. She tells him that he was very naughty and he has to say sorry to Anna. + +Anna is scared and sad. She sees the blood on the table and the floor. She sees the scissors and the paper. She sees that her picture is ruined. She feels sorry for Ben and for mom. She does not want to play with scissors anymore. She goes to mom and hugs her. She says sorry to mom and to Ben. She says that she loves them and she will be more careful next time. Mom hugs her back and says that she loves her too. She says that they can make a new picture together later. She says that they should put away the scissors and clean up the mess. Anna and Ben agree. They help mom to tidy up. They learn their lesson. They are still friends. +Tim and Sue like to play with bubbles. They have a big bottle of soap and a wand. They blow the wand and make many bubbles. The bubbles are round and shiny. They rise in the air and float away. + +"Look, Tim, that bubble is very big!" Sue says. She points to a bubble that is bigger than her head. + +"Wow, let's catch it!" Tim says. He runs after the bubble. He tries to touch it with his hand. + +But the bubble pops. Tim is sad. He says, "Oh no, the bubble is gone!" + +Sue laughs. She says, "Don't be sad, Tim. We can make more bubbles. Bubbles are fun, but they don't last long. They are ignorant. They don't know anything." + +Tim smiles. He says, "You are right, Sue. Bubbles are ignorant. But they are pretty. Let's make more bubbles and watch them rise." +Sam and Lily were playing in the living room. They liked to watch videos on the big screen. They had many videos of animals, cars, and songs. Sam picked a video of lions and put it in the machine. Lily wanted to watch a video of birds, but Sam said no. + +"Sam, I want to watch birds. Lions are scary. Please, let me watch birds," Lily said. + +"No, Lily. I want to watch lions. They are strong and brave. You can watch birds later," Sam said. + +Lily was sad and angry. She saw a big blanket on the sofa. She had an idea. She took the blanket and ran to Sam. She wrapped the blanket around Sam's head and body. She wanted to make him stop watching lions. + +"Hey, Lily, what are you doing? Let me go. I can't see. I can't breathe. Stop it, stop it," Sam shouted. + +Lily laughed. She thought it was funny. She did not know that Sam was hurt. She did not know that he was scared. She did not hear him cry. + +Mom heard the noise. She came to the living room. She saw Sam wrapped in the blanket. She saw Lily laughing. She was not happy. She took the blanket off Sam. She hugged him and asked him if he was okay. She looked at Lily and said: + +"Lily, that was not nice. You hurt Sam. You scared him. You made him cry. You have to say sorry. You have to share the videos. You have to be kind." + +Lily saw Sam's tears. She saw Mom's face. She felt bad. She did not mean to hurt Sam. She did not mean to scare him. She did not mean to make him cry. She said: + +"Sorry, Sam. Sorry, Mom. I was wrong. I will share the videos. I will be kind." + +Sam and Lily hugged. They said they were sorry. They said they loved each other. Mom smiled. She said she loved them too. She said they could watch birds and lions together. They all sat on the sofa and watched the videos. They were happy. +Sam liked to play with bricks. He had many bricks of different colors and shapes. He could build towers, houses, cars and anything he wanted. He was very good at playing with bricks. + +One day, he wanted to build a big wall with his bricks. He thought it would be fun to make a wall that was taller than him. He started to stack the bricks one by one, making sure they were straight and strong. He was very proud of his wall. + +But then, he saw his sister Lily coming. Lily was younger than Sam and she liked to play with dolls. She did not like bricks. She thought they were boring and hard. She saw Sam's wall and she wanted to knock it down. She ran towards the wall and pushed it with her hands. + +Sam saw Lily and shouted, "No, Lily, stop! That's my wall!" But it was too late. The wall fell down with a loud crash. The bricks scattered everywhere. Some of them hit Sam and Lily and hurt them. They both started to cry. + +Sam was very frustrated and angry. He had worked hard to build his wall and Lily had ruined it. He wished he had not built the wall in the first place. He regretted playing with bricks. He wished he had played with something else. He wished he had played with Lily instead. He felt sorry for Lily and for himself. He hugged Lily and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I love you. Do you want to play with me?" Lily nodded and said, "I'm sorry, Sam. I love you too. Yes, I want to play with you." They both smiled and wiped their tears. They decided to play with dolls and bricks together. They had fun and forgot about the wall. They were happy. +Ben and Lily like to play with paper. They can fold it and make many things. They can make hats, boats, planes and animals. They have fun with paper. + +One day, they find a big paper in the bin. It is brown and dirty. It smells bad. They think it is disgusting. They do not want to touch it. + +But then, they see something shiny on the paper. It is a sticker. It is a star. They like stars. They want the sticker. + +They hold their noses and take the paper out of the bin. They fold it and fold it until it is small. They peel off the sticker and put it on their hats. They are happy. + +They throw the paper back in the bin. They wash their hands. They play with their hats and sticker. They have more fun with paper. +Lily and Ben were twins who lived in a big city. They liked to play in the park, but sometimes they got bored. One day, they saw a big truck with a sign that said "Zoo". They wondered what was inside. + +"Let's follow the truck and see the animals!" Ben said. + +"Okay, but we have to be careful. Mom and Dad will be angry if we get lost," Lily said. + +They ran after the truck, but it was too fast. They crossed many streets and saw many cars and people. They did not know where they were. They felt scared. + +The truck stopped at a red light. Lily and Ben saw a cage with a lion inside. The lion was fierce and loud. It roared and scratched the bars. + +"Wow, look at the lion! It's so big and strong!" Ben said. + +"Shh, don't make noise. The lion might hear us and get angry," Lily said. + +But it was too late. The lion saw them and roared louder. It shook the cage and tried to break free. The truck driver heard the noise and got out. He saw Lily and Ben and was shocked. + +"Hey, what are you doing here? You can't be near the zoo truck! It's dangerous!" he said. + +He grabbed them and put them in the front seat. He locked the doors and called the police. He told them he found two lost kids near his truck. + +Lily and Ben cried. They wanted to go home. They spoiled their fun and got in trouble. They wished they never followed the truck. They learned a lesson: never go too far from the park. +Anna and Ben are playing with their dolls. They pretend that the dolls are sick and need to go to the doctor. Anna is the doctor and Ben is the nurse. + +"Hello, I am Doctor Anna. What is wrong with your doll?" Anna asks. + +"My doll has a bad cough. She can't breathe well. She needs help," Ben says. + +Doctor Anna listens to the doll's chest with a toy stethoscope. She makes a sad face. + +"Your doll has a brown lung. That is not good. She needs to change her lung for a new one," Doctor Anna says. + +"A brown lung? How did she get that?" Ben asks. + +"Maybe she breathed in too much smoke or dirt. Or maybe she was born with it. I don't know. But we have to change it fast," Doctor Anna says. + +She takes out a toy knife and a toy lung from her doctor's bag. She pretends to cut open the doll's chest and take out the brown lung. She puts in the new lung and closes the chest with a toy bandage. + +"There. Now your doll has a new lung. She can breathe better and stop coughing. She will be fine," Doctor Anna says. + +"Wow, thank you, Doctor Anna. You are the best doctor ever. My doll is happy now. Can I hug her?" Ben asks. + +"Of course you can. But be gentle. She needs to rest and heal. And you need to take good care of her. Don't let her breathe in bad things again," Doctor Anna says. + +Ben hugs his doll and smiles. He and Anna continue to play with their dolls. They are happy and healthy. +Lily loved animals very much. She had a dog, a cat, and a fish. She wanted to be a veterinarian when she grew up. A veterinarian is a person who helps animals when they are sick or hurt. + +One day, she went to the library with her mom. She saw a big book with pictures of many animals. She asked her mom if she could borrow it. Her mom said yes, but she had to be careful with it. + +Lily was very happy. She took the book home and looked at every page. She learned the names of many animals and what they ate and where they lived. She thought the book was very impressive. Impressive means very good or very big. + +The next day, she brought the book to school. She wanted to show it to her friends and teacher. She hoped they would like it too. She put the book in her backpack and went to the bus. + +On the bus, she met Ben. Ben was a boy in her class. He liked to tease Lily and make her sad. He saw the book in her backpack and took it out. + +"Hey, what is this?" he said. "A book for babies?" + +"No, it's not!" Lily said. "It's a book about animals. It's very impressive. Give it back!" + +Ben laughed. He opened the book and ripped a page. He threw the page out the window. + +"Oops!" he said. "There goes the elephant. What a silly animal. Who cares about animals?" + +Lily was very angry and very sad. She tried to grab the book, but Ben was stronger. He ripped another page and threw it out the window. + +"Stop it!" Lily said. "You're mean and bad. Animals are important and nice. I want to be a veterinarian and help them. You don't know anything!" + +Ben ripped another page and threw it out the window. + +"Ha ha!" he said. "You can't be a veterinarian. You're too small and dumb. You can't help anyone. You're a crybaby!" + +Lily started to cry. She felt very hurt and alone. She wished Ben would stop and give her the book back. She wished someone would help her. + +The bus driver saw what was happening. He stopped the bus and went to Ben and Lily. + +"What's going on here?" he said. "Why are you ripping this book and making this girl cry?" + +Ben tried to hide the book, but the bus driver took it from him. He saw the torn pages and the pictures of animals. + +"This is a very impressive book," he said. "It's about animals and how to help them. It's not a book for babies. It's a book for smart and kind people. Like this girl. She wants to be a veterinarian. Do you know what that is?" + +Ben shook his head. He felt ashamed and scared. + +"A veterinarian is a person who helps animals when they are sick or hurt," the bus driver said. "It's a very important and hard job. It takes a lot of learning and caring. This girl has a big dream and a big heart. You should respect her and her book. Not hurt them." + +The bus driver gave the book back to Lily. He apologized for Ben's behavior and said he would discuss it with his teacher and parents. He asked Lily if she was okay and if she wanted to sit with him. + +Lily nodded. She thanked the bus driver and hugged the book. She felt a little better. She hoped the animals in the book were okay too. She still wanted to be a veterinarian. She still loved animals very much. +One day, Ben and his dog Spot went for a walk in the park. They saw many things: trees, flowers, birds, and squirrels. Spot liked to chase the squirrels, but Ben told him to stop. + +"Spot, come back! You can't catch them, they are too fast!" Ben said. + +But Spot did not listen. He ran after a big gray squirrel that was sitting on a branch. The squirrel saw Spot and was frightened. It jumped from the branch and ran across the pass. The pass was a road with many cars and trucks. It was very noisy and dangerous. + +"Spot, no! The pass is bad! You can get hurt!" Ben shouted. + +He ran after Spot, but he was too far. He saw Spot cross the pass, but he also saw a big red truck coming fast. Ben was very scared. He closed his eyes and hoped that Spot would be okay. + +He heard a loud honk and a screech. He opened his eyes and blinked. He saw Spot on the other side of the pass, wagging his tail. He saw the truck stop and the driver get out. He saw the driver pick up the squirrel and put it in a box. + +"Are you okay, boy?" the driver asked Spot. "You are very lucky. I saw you and the squirrel and I braked. You almost got hit. And you saved the squirrel, too. He is not hurt, just scared. I will take him to the vet and then to the woods. He will be happy there." + +The driver smiled and gave Spot a pat. He gave Ben a wave and got back in his truck. He drove away with the squirrel. + +Ben ran to Spot and hugged him. He was very happy that Spot was safe. He was also proud that Spot helped the squirrel. + +"Spot, you are a good dog. But you are also a silly dog. Don't chase squirrels on the pass again, okay?" Ben said. + +Spot licked Ben's face and barked. He agreed. He learned his lesson. He followed Ben back to the park and played with him. They had fun and they were careful. They did not go near the pass again. +Tim and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big slide. They want to go on the slide, but they are scared. They think there is a monster at the top of the slide. + +"Let's test the slide," Tim says. "Maybe there is no monster." + +"I don't want to test the slide," Sam says. "I am too scared. The monster will eat me." + +Tim is brave. He climbs the ladder to the top of the slide. He looks around. He does not see a monster. He sees a big teddy bear. Someone left the teddy bear on the slide. + +"Sam, there is no monster!" Tim shouts. "There is only a teddy bear. Come and see!" + +Sam is still scared. He does not believe Tim. He thinks Tim is lying. He thinks Tim is trying to trick him. + +"No, I don't want to see," Sam says. "You are lying. There is a monster. I will stay here." + +Tim is sad. He wants to share the teddy bear with Sam. He wants to slide down with Sam. He thinks Sam is silly. He thinks Sam is missing the fun. + +"Okay, I will slide down by myself," Tim says. "You can stay there and be scared." + +Tim slides down the slide. He is happy. He feels the wind in his hair. He feels the sun on his face. He hugs the teddy bear. He is successful. He tested the slide and he found a friend. + +Sam watches Tim slide down. He sees Tim smile. He sees Tim hug the teddy bear. He feels lonely. He feels sorry. He wishes he was brave like Tim. He wishes he tested the slide and found a friend. + +The moral of the story is: Don't be afraid to try new things. You might find something good. You might make a new friend. +Sara likes to draw with her crayons. She has a notebook where she keeps all her drawings. She draws flowers, animals, stars and rainbows. She is very proud of her notebook. + +One day, she goes to the park with her mom and dad. She sees a boy playing with a ball. He looks lonely. Sara wants to be his friend. She runs to him and says, "Hi, I am Sara. Do you want to play with me?" + +The boy smiles and says, "Hi, I am Ben. Yes, I want to play with you. What do you have in your hand?" + +Sara shows him her notebook. She says, "This is my notebook. I draw with my crayons. Do you want to see?" + +Ben nods and says, "Yes, please. I like to draw too." + +Sara opens her notebook and shows him her drawings. Ben likes them very much. He says, "Wow, you are very good at drawing. I like your flowers and animals. Can I draw something in your notebook too?" + +Sara thinks for a moment. She loves her notebook very much. She does not want anyone to ruin it. But she also likes Ben. He is nice and friendly. She wants to share with him. She says, "OK, you can draw something in my notebook. But be careful. Do not make it dirty or tear it." + +Ben says, "Thank you, Sara. I will be careful. I promise." + +Sara gives him a crayon and a page in her notebook. Ben draws a ball and a smiley face. He writes his name and Sara's name under the drawing. He says, "Look, this is for you. You are my new friend." + +Sara looks at the drawing and smiles. She likes it very much. She says, "Thank you, Ben. You are my new friend too." + +She hugs him and says, "You are very kind. I am happy you accepted my notebook." + +They play together with the ball and the notebook. They have a lot of fun. Sara's mom and dad watch them and smile. They are happy Sara made a new friend. +Lily was a good girl. She liked to help her mom and dad. She liked to play with her toys and her dog. She liked to say please and thank you. She was very happy. + +One day, Lily saw a big box in the living room. It had a white bow on it. She wondered what was inside. She asked her mom, "What is that, mom?" + +Mom smiled and said, "That is a present for you, Lily. But you have to wait until your birthday to open it. Can you do that?" + +Lily nodded. She was very curious, but she was also very patient. She said, "Okay, mom. I will wait. Thank you for the present." + +Mom hugged her and said, "You're welcome, Lily. You are a very good girl." + +Lily waited for many days. She looked at the box every day, but she did not touch it. She played with her toys and her dog. She helped her mom and dad. She said please and thank you. She was very happy. + +Finally, it was her birthday. Mom and dad gave her a cake and sang to her. They said, "Happy birthday, Lily. You can open your present now." + +Lily was very excited. She ran to the box and tore off the white bow. She opened the box and gasped. Inside was a beautiful white dress with flowers and ribbons. It was the dress she had seen in the window of the store and wished for. She loved it. + +She put on the dress and twirled around. She felt like a princess. She hugged her mom and dad and said, "Thank you, thank you, thank you. This is the best present ever. I love you." + +Mom and dad smiled and said, "We love you too, Lily. You are a very good girl. And a very pretty princess." +Lily and Ben are playing with blocks in the living room. They are making a big tower with many colors. They are happy and noisy. + +Mom is in the kitchen. She is making a cake for dad's birthday. She needs silence to follow the recipe. She tells Lily and Ben to be quiet. + +"Shh, kids, I need silence. Please play nicely and don't make a mess." + +But Lily and Ben don't listen. They keep making noise and throwing blocks. They want to see who can make the tallest tower. They don't care about the cake. + +Mom gets angry. She comes to the living room. She sees the blocks all over the floor. She sees the tower falling down. She sees Lily and Ben laughing. + +"Stop it, kids, you are making too much noise and too much trouble. You are not fit to play with blocks. Go to your room and think about what you did." + +Lily and Ben are sad and scared. They don't want to go to their room. They don't want to make mom angry. They say sorry to mom. + +"Sorry, mom, we didn't mean to make you angry. We just wanted to have fun. We love you and dad and the cake." + +Mom sighs. She hugs Lily and Ben. She says sorry to them. + +"Sorry, kids, I didn't mean to make you cry. I just wanted to make a nice cake for dad. I love you and dad and the blocks." + +They all smile. They help mom clean up the blocks. They go to the kitchen. They see the cake. It is big and yummy. They are happy and quiet. They wait for dad to come home. They want to make him happy too. +Sara and Ben love to bounce on the big bed. They jump up and down and laugh. They pretend they are frogs or kangaroos. They bounce so high they can touch the ceiling. + +One day, they bounce too hard and the bed breaks. The mattress falls to the floor with a loud bang. Sara and Ben stop bouncing and look at each other. They are scared. They hear Mom coming up the stairs. + +"What was that noise?" Mom asks. She opens the door and sees the broken bed and the wild children. She is angry. "What have you done?" she says. "You are not supposed to bounce on the bed. You could get hurt. And now the bed is ruined. This is a bad result." + +Sara and Ben feel sorry. They say, "We are sorry, Mom. We were just having fun. We did not mean to break the bed. Please don't be mad at us." + +Mom sighs. She is not happy, but she loves her children. She says, "I know you were having fun, but you have to be careful. Bouncing on the bed is not safe or smart. You have to respect the furniture and the rules. Now you have to help me fix the bed and clean the mess. And no more bouncing on the bed, okay?" + +Sara and Ben nod. They say, "Okay, Mom. We will help you. And we will not bounce on the bed anymore. We will find another way to have fun." + +Mom smiles. She says, "Thank you, Sara and Ben. I love you. Now let's get to work." She hugs them and they hug her back. They learn their lesson and they still love to bounce, but only on the trampoline or the couch. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play in the house. One day, they discover a new room. It is their mom's office. Mom is busy working on her computer. + +"Wow, look at all these things!" Anna says. She sees books, papers, pens and a big chair.

He used his hands to talk. + +One day, Ben and Mia wanted to surprise Sam. They decided to decorate their room for him. They found some paper, crayons, scissors and tape. They cut out shapes and letters. They wrote "Welcome, Sam!" on a big paper. They taped it on the wall. They also made some flowers and stars. They taped them on the window and the door. + +They were very happy with their work. They waited for Sam to come. They heard a knock on the door. They ran to open it. They saw Sam smiling.

They put some wool on the floor to make it cozy. They had fun pretending to be a family. + +But then they heard a loud noise. It was a dog barking. The dog was big and black and had sharp teeth. It ran towards their box. Lily and Ben were frightened. They did not know what to do. + +"Help! Help!" they cried. "Go away, dog! Leave us alone!" + +Their mom heard them and came out. She saw the dog and shooed it away. She hugged Lily and Ben and took them inside. + +"It's okay, my loves," she said. "The dog was just curious. He did not want to hurt you. But you should always be careful around strange animals. They might be friendly or they might be mean. You never know." + +Lily and Ben nodded. They learned their lesson. They thanked their mom and gave her a kiss. They decided to play pretend inside instead. They were happy and safe. +Ben and Sam were brothers who liked to play in the backyard. They had a big tent that their dad gave them. They pretended it was a castle and they were knights. Sometimes they fought with sticks and said they were swords. + +One day, Ben and Sam had a big fight. Ben wanted to be the king of the tent and Sam wanted to be the king too. They both said they were the best and the strongest. They hit each other with their sticks and made each other cry. + +Their mom heard them and came outside. She was very angry and said they had to stop fighting. She said they had to share the tent and be nice to each other. She said if they did not, she would take away the tent and they would have no castle. + +Ben and Sam did not listen to their mom. They thought she was crazy and they did not care. They kept fighting and yelling and hitting. They did not want to surrender or say sorry. They wanted to be the king and have the tent all to themselves. + +Their mom saw them and said enough was enough. She grabbed the tent and pulled it away. She said they had lost their castle and their sticks. She said they had to go inside and sit in the corner. She said they had to think about what they did and how they hurt each other. + +Ben and Sam were very sad and mad. They had no tent, no sticks, no castle, and no fun. They had to sit in the corner and be quiet. They wished they had listened to their mom and shared the tent and been nice to each other. They learned a hard lesson that day. +Tom and Mia were bored. They had nothing to do. They looked out the window and saw a pond. The pond had ducks and fish and frogs. Tom and Mia wanted to go to the pond and play. + +"Can we go to the pond, Mom?" Tom asked. + +"Sure, but be careful and don't go too close to the water," Mom said. + +Tom and Mia put on their shoes and ran to the pond. They saw a big duck with yellow ducklings. They threw some bread to the duck and the ducklings. The ducklings ate the bread and quacked. Tom and Mia laughed. + +They saw a shiny fish swimming in the pond. They tried to catch the fish with their hands, but the fish was too fast. The fish swam away and splashed them. Tom and Mia got wet and giggled. + +They saw a green frog sitting on a lily pad. They wanted to touch the frog, but the frog was too shy. The frog jumped into the water and hid. Tom and Mia looked for the frog, but they could not find it. + +They heard a loud croak. They turned around and saw another frog on the shore. The frog was bigger and brighter than the first one. The frog looked at them and croaked again. + +"Hello, frog," Mia said. + +"Hello, kids," the frog said. + +Tom and Mia were surprised. They did not know that frogs could talk. + +"Who are you?" Tom asked. + +"I am Fred, the king of the pond," the frog said. + +"Wow, you are the king of the pond?" Mia asked. + +"Yes, I am. I can do anything I want in the pond. I can swim, jump, croak, and eat bugs. I am the best frog in the pond," Fred said. + +"That sounds fun," Tom said. + +"It is fun, but it is also boring. I have no friends in the pond. The other frogs are afraid of me. The ducks and the fish are not nice to me. I am lonely," Fred said. + +"That is sad," Mia said. + +"Do you want to be our friend?" Tom asked. + +"Really? You want to be my friend?" Fred asked. + +"Yes, we do. You are a cool frog. You can talk and you are the king of the pond. We can play with you and share our bread with you," Mia said. + +"Thank you, kids. You are very kind. I would love to be your friend," Fred said. + +Tom and Mia smiled. They gave Fred some bread and played with him. They had fun with Fred and Fred had fun with them. They succeeded in making a new friend. They were not bored anymore. They were happy. +Lisa and Tom were twins. They liked to play with their toys and draw pictures. One day, they found a big bottle of wine in the kitchen. They did not know what it was, but they thought it looked pretty. + +"Let's decorate the bottle with our stickers and crayons," Lisa said. + +"Good idea," Tom said. "It will be a nice gift for Mommy and Daddy." + +They took the bottle to their room and started to stick and draw on it. They made flowers, stars, hearts, and their names. They were very happy with their work. + +But Mommy and Daddy were not happy when they saw the bottle. They were angry and scared. + +"What have you done?" Mommy asked. "This is wine, not water. It is not for children. It can make you sick." + +"We did not drink it, Mommy," Lisa said. "We just wanted to decorate it." + +"We did not know, Daddy," Tom said. "We thought it was pretty." + +Mommy and Daddy sighed. They knew Lisa and Tom were not bad, just ignorant. They did not understand what wine was or why it was dangerous. + +They hugged Lisa and Tom and explained to them that wine was a special drink for grown-ups, and that they should never touch it or drink it. They also told them that they should always ask before they use something that was not theirs. + +Lisa and Tom felt sorry and ashamed. They said they were sorry and that they would not do it again. + +Mommy and Daddy forgave them and thanked them for their gift. They said they loved their stickers and crayons, but they would have to wash the bottle and put it away. + +They also gave Lisa and Tom some juice and cookies, and told them they were proud of their creativity and love. + +Lisa and Tom smiled and hugged Mommy and Daddy. They learned a new word and a new lesson. They decided to decorate something else next time. +Jazz was a cat who liked to play with toys. He had many toys, but his favorite was a red ball. He would chase the ball, catch it, and roll it around. He did not like to share his ball with anyone. + +One day, a new cat came to the house. Her name was Luna, and she was very friendly. She wanted to play with Jazz and his toys. She saw the red ball and ran to it. "Can I play with your ball?" she asked Jazz. + +Jazz did not want to share his ball. He hissed at Luna and scratched her nose. "No, this is my ball. Go away!" he said. + +Luna was sad and scared. She ran away from Jazz and hid under the bed. She did not have any toys to play with. + +The next day, Jazz wanted to play with his ball again. He looked for it in his usual spots, but he could not find it. He searched the whole house, but the ball was gone. He asked Luna if she had seen his ball, but she did not answer. She was still under the bed. + +Jazz was angry and confused. He did not know what happened to his ball. He missed his ball very much. He wished he had been nicer to Luna and shared his ball with her. Maybe then they could have been friends and played together. But it was too late. Jazz had lost his ball and his chance to make a new friend. He was very lonely and sad. He learned that sharing is better than being selfish. But he learned it the hard way. +Lily and Ben were very thirsty. They had been walking in the hot sand for a long time. They wanted to find water and shade. They saw some green trees and a blue lake far away. They ran towards them. + +"Look, Ben, an oasis!" Lily said. "Maybe we can drink and rest there." + +"Maybe, Lily, but be careful. There might be animals or people there. We don't want to get in trouble," Ben said. + +They reached the oasis and saw a big tent. They heard some voices inside. They peeked through a hole and saw some men with guns and bags. They looked angry and mean. + +"Shut up, you fools!" one of them shouted. "We have to hide the treasure here until the night. Then we can escape with the truck." + +Lily and Ben were scared. They knew the men were bad. They had stolen something valuable and were hiding it. They wanted to run away, but they were too thirsty. They saw a bucket of water near the tent. They decided to take some quickly and quietly. + +They crept towards the bucket and dipped their cups. They drank some water and felt better. But then they heard a loud roar. They turned around and saw an enormous lion. It had escaped from a cage near the truck. It was hungry and angry. It saw Lily and Ben and ran towards them. + +Lily and Ben screamed. They dropped their cups and ran. The men heard them and came out of the tent. They saw the lion and the children. They grabbed their guns and shot at the lion. The lion roared louder and jumped at the men. + +Lily and Ben ran past the truck and saw a bike. They jumped on it and pedaled away. They left the oasis and the sand. They found a road and a town. They were safe and happy. They never went back to the oasis again. +Ben and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and look for bugs and stones. One day, they found something very strange. It was hard and white and had many holes. + +"What is this?" Ben asked. + +"I don't know. It looks like a big egg," Lily said. + +They tried to break it open, but it was too hard. They saw something shiny inside one of the holes. Ben reached in and pulled it out. It was a long, sharp tooth. + +"Wow, look at this!" Ben said. "It is so long and sharp. Maybe it is from a dinosaur." + +Lily wanted to see the tooth, too. She tried to grab it from Ben, but he did not let go. They started to pull and tug on the tooth. + +"Give it to me, it is mine!" Ben said. + +"No, it is mine, I saw it first!" Lily said. + +They pulled so hard that the tooth snapped in half. They both fell back on the ground, holding their pieces. They looked at each other and felt sad. They had broken their treasure. + +They looked at the white thing again. They saw that it was not an egg. It was a skull. A skull of a big animal that had long, sharp teeth. Maybe it was a dinosaur. + +They felt sorry for the animal. They wondered how it died and how long it had been in the dirt. They decided to put the pieces of the tooth back in the skull. They said sorry to the animal and buried the skull again. + +They hugged each other and said sorry to each other, too. They learned that sharing is better than fighting. They went back to their house and told their mom about their adventure. She was proud of them for being kind and curious. She gave them cookies and milk and read them a story about dinosaurs. They smiled and listened and dreamed of the big animal that once lived in their garden. +Ben and Lily were playing with their blocks. They liked to build towers and houses and cars. But Ben wanted to use all the blocks for his tower. He took some blocks from Lily's house and put them on his tower. + +"Hey, that's not fair!" Lily said. "Those are my blocks. Give them back!" + +"No, they are mine now. I need them for my tower. It is going to be the biggest and best tower ever!" Ben said. + +Lily was angry. She tried to take back her blocks, but Ben pushed her away. Lily fell down and hurt her knee. She started to cry. + +"Stop crying, you baby!" Ben said. "It's just a game. You have enough blocks." + +Lily's mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw Lily crying and Ben's big tower. + +"What happened here?" she asked. + +Ben looked at his mom. He felt sorry. He knew he had been mean to Lily. He did not want to make her cry. + +"I'm sorry, mom. I took Lily's blocks and made her fall. I was selfish. I wanted to have the biggest tower," he said. + +Lily's mom hugged Lily and checked her knee. It was not too bad, just a little scratch. She put a band-aid on it and kissed it. + +"It's okay, Lily. You are brave. I'm sorry Ben hurt you," she said. + +She looked at Ben and said, "Ben, I'm glad you told me the truth. But you need to say sorry to Lily, too. And you need to share your blocks. How would you feel if someone took your blocks and made you fall?" + +Ben thought about it. He did not like that idea. He felt bad for Lily. + +He went to Lily and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I was wrong. You can have your blocks back. And you can help me with my tower, if you want. We can make it together." + +Lily smiled and said, "Thank you, Ben. I'm sorry, too. I should have asked you before I took your blocks. And I would like to help you with your tower. We can make it better together." + +Ben and Lily hugged and said they were friends again. They shared their blocks and managed to build a big and beautiful tower. They were happy and proud. Their mom was happy and proud, too. She took a picture of them and their tower and put it on the fridge. +Lily and Ben wanted to watch a film. They liked films with animals and songs. They asked Mom to put on a film for them. Mom said yes, but first they had to put on their coats and boots. It was icy outside and they had to go to the shop. + +"Why do we have to go to the shop?" Lily asked. + +"Because we need some popcorn and juice for the film," Mom said. "And maybe a surprise." + +Lily and Ben liked surprises. They put on their coats and boots and followed Mom to the shop. They held Mom's hands because the ground was slippery. They saw some snowflakes in the air. + +"Look, Mom, it's snowing!" Ben said. + +"Yes, it is. Maybe we can make a snowman later," Mom said. + +They reached the shop and Mom bought some popcorn and juice. She also bought a big box with a picture of a penguin on it. Lily and Ben wondered what was inside. + +"Is that the surprise, Mom?" Lily asked. + +"Yes, it is. But you have to wait until we get home to open it," Mom said. + +Lily and Ben were curious. They held the box and felt something cold and hard inside. They wanted to see what it was. They hurried back home with Mom. They took off their coats and boots and sat on the sofa. Mom put on the film. It was a film about penguins and their adventures. + +"Look, Lily, Ben, this film is about penguins, just like the box," Mom said. + +She opened the box and took out two small toy penguins. They were icy and shiny. They had black and white feathers and orange beaks. They looked like real penguins. + +"Wow, Mom, they are so cool!" Lily said. + +"Can we hold them, Mom?" Ben asked. + +"Of course, you can. They are for you. They are your new friends. You can play with them and watch the film with them," Mom said. + +She gave one penguin to Lily and one to Ben. They held them and cuddled them. They felt happy and warm. They watched the film and laughed and sang. They liked the film and the penguins. They thanked Mom for the surprise. They had a fun and icy day. +Lily was a young flower who lived in a big garden. She had many friends, like Bee, Bird and Worm. They liked to play and talk with her every day. Lily was happy, but she had a wish. She wanted to bloom and have pretty colors like her mother and father. + +One day, she saw a spot on her stem. It was small and green. She was very excited. She called her friends and showed them. "Look, look! I have a spot! Maybe I will bloom soon!" she said. + +Bee, Bird and Worm were happy for her. They gave her hugs and kisses. "We are proud of you, Lily! You are growing up!" they said. + +Lily thanked them and smiled. She hoped her spot would grow bigger and bigger. She wondered what color she would be. Maybe pink, like her mother. Maybe yellow, like her father. Maybe both, or something else. She could not wait to find out. + +Every day, she looked at her spot and watered it with love. She also listened to her friends and learned from them. Bee taught her about honey and pollen. Bird taught her about songs and nests. Worm taught her about soil and roots. Lily was curious and happy. + +One morning, she felt a tickle on her spot. She opened her eyes and saw a miracle. Her spot had turned into a beautiful flower.

It was their dad's box. He told them not to touch it. + +"What is in the box?" Lily asked. + +"Let's find out!" Ben said. He opened the box and saw many shiny things. He took out a necklace, a ring, and a watch. "Look, Lily, we can play with these!" + +Lily liked the shiny things too. She put on the necklace and the ring. She felt like a princess. "We are so pretty!" she said. + +They heard a noise. It was their dad. He was coming to their bedroom. They were scared. They knew they did something bad. + +"Quick, hide the shiny things!" Ben said. He tried to put them back in the box, but he dropped the watch. It made a loud sound. + +Their dad opened the door. He saw the box, the watch, and the necklace and the ring on Lily. He was very angry. + +"What are you doing with my things?" he shouted. "You know you are not allowed to touch them! They are not toys, they are very important and expensive!" + +Lily and Ben started to cry. They were sorry. They wanted to say sorry, but they could not find the words. + +"Surrender the shiny things, now!" their dad said. He took them from Lily and Ben. He looked at them with a hard face. "You are very naughty. You have to go to bed without dinner. And no stories, no songs, no hugs. Go to your beds, now!" + +Lily and Ben ran to their beds. They felt very sad and lonely. They wished they had not touched the box. They wished they had listened to their dad. They wished they could have some fun. But it was too late. They had to sleep in their bedroom, with no shiny things, no food, no stories, no songs, no hugs. It was a very difficult night. +Timmy loved his old scooter. It was red and shiny and had a bell that he could ring. He rode it every day to the park, where he met his friends and played. He did not want a new scooter, even if it was modern and had lights and sounds. + +One day, his mom said, "Timmy, I have a surprise for you. Come and see."

It can play music and talk to you. Do you like it?" + +Timmy looked at the new scooter and felt sad. He did not like it. He wanted his old scooter. He said, "No, thank you, mom. I like my old scooter. It is red and shiny and has a bell. Can I keep it?" + +His mom smiled and hugged him. She said, "Of course, Timmy. You can keep your old scooter. I'm sorry, I thought you would like a new one. But I'm glad you love your old one. It's very special to you." + +Timmy felt happy and hugged his mom back. He said, "Thank you, mom. You are very kind. Can I go to the park now and show my friends my old scooter?" + +His mom nodded and said, "Yes, you can. But be careful and have fun." + +Timmy ran to his old scooter and rode it to the park.

Lily says. + +"Wow, Polly is cool. Can I play with her?" Ben asks. + +"Sure, Ben. Press the button and she will talk to you." Lily says. + +Ben presses the button and the bird says "Hello, I am Polly". Ben smiles and says "Hello, Polly, I am Ben". But the bird does not answer. Ben presses the button again and the bird says "Hello, I am Polly". Ben is confused. + +"Why does Polly only say the same thing? Why does she not answer me?" Ben asks. + +Lily laughs and says "Polly is not a real bird, Ben. She is a toy bird. She can only repeat what we say. She does not understand us." + +"Oh, I see. Polly is a toy bird. She can only repeat what we say. She does not understand us." Ben says. + +The bird says "She does not understand us." + +Lily and Ben laugh and play with Polly. They say funny things and make her repeat them. They have fun with their new toy. +Sam and Tom are brothers. They live on a big ranch with many animals. They like to play with the horses, the cows, and the dogs. But they do not like the bull. The bull is big and mean. He has sharp horns and he can run fast. He does not like anyone to come near him. + +One day, Sam and Tom are playing near the fence. They see the bull in the field. He is eating grass and snorting. Sam has an idea. He says to Tom, "Let's go and touch the bull. It will be fun." Tom is scared. He says, "No, Sam. That is a bad idea. The bull will be upset. He will chase us and hurt us. Mama and Papa always warn us to stay away from the bull. We should listen to them." + +But Sam does not listen. He says, "You are a baby. I am brave. I will touch the bull and show you." He climbs over the fence and runs towards the bull. Tom shouts, "Sam, come back! The bull sees you! He is angry!" But Sam does not hear him. He thinks he can touch the bull and run back. + +The bull sees Sam. He does not like Sam. He lowers his head and charges at Sam. Sam is scared. He tries to run back, but he is too late.

They come running. They see Sam and the bull. They are upset. They chase the bull away and pick up Sam. They take him to the house and call the doctor. The doctor comes and fixes Sam. He says Sam will be okay, but he has to rest and take medicine. He also says Sam has to learn his lesson. He says, "You should never go near the bull. He is dangerous. You should always listen to your parents. They warn you for your own good." + +Sam is sorry. He says, "I am sorry, Mama and Papa. I am sorry, Tom. I was foolish. I will never go near the bull again. I will listen to you. Thank you for saving me." Mama and Papa hug Sam. They say, "We love you, Sam. We are glad you are okay. But you have to be careful. The ranch is a wonderful place, but it can also be dangerous. You have to respect the animals and follow the rules." Tom hugs Sam too. He says, "I love you, Sam. You are my brother. I am happy you are okay. But you scared me. Please don't do that again." Sam nods. He says, "I love you too, Tom. You are my brother. I am sorry I scared you. I will not do that again."

Lily wants to touch them, but Ben says no. + +"Oysters are not toys, Lily. They can hurt you. They have sharp edges and they can hide pearls inside. Pearls are hard and shiny and pretty, but they are not for us. They are for the oysters," Ben says. + +Lily does not listen to Ben. She thinks pearls are for her. She wants to have one. She waits until Ben is busy with a sandcastle. Then she runs to the water and picks up an oyster. She tries to open it with her fingers, but it is too hard. She looks for a rock to smash it. + +But the oyster is not happy. It does not want to give up its pearl. It makes a loud noise and spits water at Lily. The water is salty and stings her eyes. Lily drops the oyster and cries. Ben hears her and runs to help her. + +"Lily, what did you do? Why did you take the oyster? I told you not to!" Ben says. He is angry and worried. He sees the oyster on the sand. He sees the pearl inside. He sees Lily's eyes are red and wet. + +"I'm sorry, Ben. I wanted the pearl. It was so pretty. But the oyster was mean. It hurt me. It bathed me with water. It was loud. It scared me," Lily says. She is sad and sorry. She hugs Ben and says sorry again. + +Ben hugs Lily back. He is not angry anymore. He is just glad she is okay. He says they should go home and tell Mom. Mom will know what to do. She will wash Lily's eyes and make them feel better. She will also tell Lily why she should not take things that are not hers. + +But Mom is not happy. She is very mad. She says Lily and Ben should not have gone to the water without her. She says the oyster could have cut Lily's fingers or made her sick. She says pearls are not for children. They are for the oysters and the sea. She says Lily and Ben are in big trouble. She says they have to go to their room and stay there until dinner. She says they have to learn their lesson. + +Lily and Ben are sad and scared. They go to their room and sit on their bed. They do not have any toys or books or games. They do not have any fun. They wish they had listened to Ben and left the oyster alone. They wish they had not made Mom mad.

She thinks she looks very nice. + +She goes to the living room and shows her mom. Her mom smiles and says, "You look very colorful, Lily. But maybe you should wear something else to the store. It might be too hot or too cold or too dirty for your dress-up clothes." + +Lily shakes her head. She insists, "No, Mom. I want to wear this. This is my fashion. I like it. Please, Mom. Please." + +Her mom sighs and says, "Okay, Lily. If you really want to wear this, you can. But you have to bring a jacket and some sneakers, just in case. And you have to be careful not to spill or tear or lose anything. Do you understand?" + +Lily nods and says, "Yes, Mom. I understand. Thank you, Mom. You are the best." She hugs her mom and grabs her jacket and sneakers. She is ready to go to the store. She is happy. She hopes everyone will like her fashion. She thinks she is the most fashionable girl in the world. +Lily and Ben were playing in the barn. They liked to pretend they were farmers and animals. Lily was a cow and Ben was a horse. They made loud noises and ran around the hay. + +"Look, Lily, I can jump over this fence!" Ben said. He ran and jumped, but he tripped and fell on his face. He felt a pain in his nose and saw some blood. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" he cried. "Lily, help me!" + +Lily ran to him and saw his nose. She felt sorry for him, but she also laughed a little. She thought he looked funny with his blue face and red nose. + +"Ben, are you okay?" she asked. "You have a blue face and a red nose. You look like a clown!" + +Ben felt embarrassed. He did not like to look like a clown. He did not like to make Lily laugh at him. He wanted to hide. + +"Lily, don't laugh at me!" he said. "It's not nice. It hurts." + +Lily stopped laughing. She saw that Ben was sad and angry. She hugged him and said sorry. + +"I'm sorry, Ben. I didn't mean to laugh at you. You are my friend. I like you, even with your blue face and red nose." + +Ben felt better. He hugged Lily back and said thank you. + +"Thank you, Lily. You are my friend too. I like you, even when you are a cow." + +They smiled and wiped their noses. They decided to play something else in the barn. They were happy again. +Anna and Ben are friends.

Anna and Ben touch the horse's soft fur. The horse likes it. He makes a happy sound. + +"Can we ride you?" Ben asks. "Please?" + +The horse nods again. He lets Anna and Ben climb on his back. He is very gentle. He leads them around the field. He shows them the flowers, the trees, and the pond. + +"Wow, this is fun!" Anna says. "You are a lovely horse!" + +The horse smiles. He takes them to a big pile of hay. He stops and lets them slide down. Anna and Ben laugh. They make a hay fort. They invite the horse to join them. + +"Thank you, horse!" Ben says. "You are a good friend!" + +The horse nods. He hugs them with his neck. He is happy. He likes Anna and Ben. They play until the sun sets. Then they say goodbye and go home. They promise to come back soon. The horse waits for them. He hopes they will have more adventures together. +Sara and Ben like to play in the pond. They have a boat and a duck.

We share. You are mean. You broke our boat. Give us back our duck." She tries to grab the duck from the big boy. The big boy pulls the duck. He says, "No, this is my duck. You are silly. Go away."

You need to say sorry. You need to be nice." The big boy says, "No, I don't. I don't care. I hate you. I hate this pond. I will go to another pond." He gets up. He runs away. He goes to the west. Sara and Ben say, "Bye, bye, big boy. Don't come back. This is our pond. We are happy." They smile. They play with the duck. They look for a new boat. They have fun. +Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to pretend they were soldiers and march around with sticks. They wore hats made of paper and sang songs. + +"Left, right, left, right!" Tom shouted. "We are brave and strong!" + +"Yes, we are!" Lily agreed. "We can protect the flowers and the bees!" + +They marched to the big tree where the bees lived. They saw a hole in the trunk where the bees went in and out. They smelled something sweet. + +"Look, Tom!" Lily said. "There is honey in the tree! Can we have some?" + +Tom licked his lips. He loved honey. He thought it would be a good reward for their marching. He nodded and climbed up the tree. He reached for the hole. + +But the bees did not like Tom's hand.

They did not want to be stung by the bees. They jumped down from the tree and ran away. They were very alert and looked for a safe place. + +They found their mom in the kitchen. She was making sandwiches with honey and peanut butter. She saw their faces and hugged them. + +"What happened, my little soldiers?" she asked. + +"We tried to get some honey from the tree, but the bees chased us!"

She gave them each a sandwich and a glass of milk. + +"You should not take honey from the bees without asking," she said. "They work hard to make it and they need it for themselves. But you can have some of mine. It is delicious and good for you." + +Tom and Lily thanked their mom and ate their sandwiches. They decided they liked mom's honey better than the bees'.

Give us back our notebook." + +The chubby boy does not listen. He keeps stomping on the notebook. He does not see a big dog running to him. The dog is the park keeper's dog.

He asks his mom, "Mom, can I have some yogurt, please?" + +Mom smiles and says, "Sure, Tom. You can have some yogurt. I have some in the fridge. What taste do you want?" + +Tom looks at the book and says, "I want to try the yogurt with strawberries. It looks yummy." + +Mom gets the yogurt with strawberries and gives it to Tom. She also gives him a spoon. Tom opens the yogurt and tastes it. He likes it. It is sweet and creamy. He feels calm and happy. + +He says, "Thank you, Mom. This yogurt is very good. I learned something new from the book." + +Mom hugs him and says, "You're welcome, Tom. I'm glad you like it. You are a good reader. Reading books is fun and good for you." +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play with blocks and crayons. One day, Anna gets an invitation in the mail. It is from Lily, who lives next door. Lily is having a birthday party and wants Anna to come. + +Anna is happy. She shows the invitation to Ben. Ben is sad. He did not get an invitation. He says, "Why did Lily not invite me? I want to go to the party too." + +Anna says, "Maybe Lily forgot. Or maybe she does not have enough cake. Or maybe she does not like you." + +Ben is angry. He says, "That is not nice. Lily is mean. I do not want to be her friend anymore." + +Anna says, "Do not be mad, Ben. Maybe you can make her a gift. Then she will see that you are a good friend." + +Ben thinks. He says, "What can I make for her? I do not have any toys or books or clothes to give her." + +Anna says, "You can be creative. You can use the blocks and the crayons and make something special. Something that she will like." + +Ben likes this idea. He says, "OK, I will try. But what can I make?" + +Anna says, "You can make a scale. A scale is something that can weigh things. You can use two blocks and a string and a stick and some paper. You can draw numbers on the paper and put them on the blocks. Then you can use the stick and the string to make a balance. Then you can weigh things and see how heavy they are." + +Ben says, "That sounds fun. I think Lily will like that. Thank you, Anna. You are a good friend." + +Anna says, "You are welcome, Ben. You are a good friend too. Now let us make the scale together." +Lily liked to paint. She had many colors and brushes. She painted flowers, trees, birds and animals. She was happy when she painted. + +One day, she saw a deer in the garden. The deer was brown and white. It had big ears and a long nose. It was eating grass. Lily wanted to paint the deer. She ran to get her paints and paper. + +She came back and saw the deer still in the garden. She sat down and started to paint. She used brown and white and green. She tried to make the deer look real. She was very careful and quiet. + +But the deer saw Lily. It was scared of her. It did not like to be painted. It ran away very fast. Lily was sad. She wanted to finish her painting. She looked at her paper. It was not dry. It was wet and messy. The colors ran together. The deer did not look like a deer anymore. + +Lily learned a lesson. She learned that some animals do not like to be painted. They like to be free and wild. She learned that she should not paint them without their permission. She learned that she should respect their feelings. She decided to paint something else. She painted a rainbow. She was happy again. +Ben and Mia are playing with their dolls. Ben has a doctor kit and Mia has a princess dress. Ben pretends to be a doctor and Mia pretends to be a sick princess. + +"Hello, princess. What is wrong?" Ben asks. + +"I have a tummy ache. It hurts a lot." Mia says. + +Ben looks at his doctor kit and picks up a pill. He says, "This is a magic pill. It will make you feel better. But you have to swallow it." + +Mia looks at the pill and makes a face. She says, "No, thank you. The pill is smelly. It smells like fish. I don't like fish." + +Ben says, "But you have to take the pill. It is the only way to fix your tummy ache. Please, princess. Trust me. I am a good doctor." + +Mia thinks for a moment. She does not want to have a tummy ache anymore. She says, "OK, doctor. I will try the pill. But you have to give me some water too." + +Ben nods and gives Mia some water. He says, "Here you go, princess. Drink some water and then swallow the pill." + +Mia takes the water and the pill. She closes her eyes and swallows them. She says, "Ew, that was yucky. But I did it." + +Ben smiles and says, "Good job, princess. You are very brave. How do you feel now?" + +Mia rubs her tummy and says, "I feel better. The pill worked. Thank you, doctor. You are very smart." + +Ben and Mia hug and say, "We are the best friends." They continue to play with their dolls and have fun. +Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to slide on the big slide and swing on the swings. They saw a huge car with a shiny buckle on the front. They wanted to see it closer. + +"Let's go and touch the buckle," Ben said. "It looks like a star." + +"OK," Lily said. "But we have to be quick. Mommy said not to go near the road." + +They ran across the grass and reached the car. Ben reached out his hand and touched the buckle. It was cold and hard. Lily tried to touch it too, but she was too short. + +"Can you lift me up?" she asked Ben. + +"Sure," Ben said. He put his arms around Lily's waist and lifted her up. She smiled and touched the buckle. + +"Wow, it's so pretty," she said. + +They did not see the man who came out of the shop. He was the owner of the car. He was angry when he saw Ben and Lily on his car. + +"Hey, you kids, get off my car!" he shouted. He ran towards them and grabbed Ben by the arm. He pulled him down and slapped him on the face. Ben cried out in pain and dropped Lily. She fell on the ground and hit her head. She did not move. + +The man did not care. He got in his car and drove away. He did not see the blood on Lily's head. He did not hear Ben's screams. + +Mommy heard Ben's screams. She ran to the park and saw Ben and Lily on the road. She was shocked and scared. She called for help and hugged Ben. She tried to wake up Lily, but she did not open her eyes. + +Mommy was very sad. She wished she had not let Ben and Lily play alone. She wished they had not seen the huge car with the shiny buckle. She wished they had not tried to guess what it was. She wished they had stayed on the slide and the swings. +Lily and Tom were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big puddle in the park. They wanted to jump in it and make a splash. But their mom said no. She said the puddle was dirty and wet, and they would get sick. She said they had to wear their cheap boots and coats, because they had no money for new ones. + +But Lily and Tom did not listen. They waited until their mom was busy talking to a friend, and then they ran to the puddle. They jumped in it and laughed. They did not care that their boots and coats got wet and muddy. They thought it was fun. + +But soon, they felt cold and shivery. They stopped laughing and started crying. Their mom heard them and came to see what was wrong. She was angry and sad. She said they were naughty and foolish. She said they had to go home and take a bath. She said they had to dry their boots and coats, and hope they would not be ruined. + +Lily and Tom were sorry. They said they were sorry to their mom. They said they would not do it again. They said they would listen to their mom and be good. They learned that playing in a puddle was not worth getting wet and shivery. They learned that their cheap boots and coats were better than nothing. They learned to be grateful and obedient. +Sam and Lily are two friends who like to play space. They have a big box that they pretend is a rocket. They put on helmets and gloves and say, "Ready for blast off!" + +They count down from ten and make loud noises. Then they shake the box and say, "We are flying to a new planet!" They look out of the holes in the box and see stars and moons. + +After a while, they say, "We are landing on the planet!" They open the box and get out. They see a lot of rocks and sand. The planet is hard and dry. They say, "This planet is not like Earth. It is not green and wet." + +They walk around and look for signs of life. They see a small hole in the ground. They say, "Maybe there is something in there. Let's look." They bend down and peer into the hole. + +Suddenly, they hear a loud roar. They see a big, furry creature with sharp teeth and claws. It is angry and hungry. It jumps out of the hole and chases them. They say, "Aaaah! It is a monster! Run!" + +They run back to the box and get in. They close the lid and say, "Quick, blast off!" They make loud noises and shake the box. They say, "We are leaving the planet! That was scary!" + +They look out of the holes and see the monster running after them. It is too slow and too big. It cannot catch them. They say, "Bye bye, monster! We are going home!" + +They fly back to Earth and land in their backyard. They open the box and get out. They are happy and safe. They say, "That was a fun adventure. But we like Earth better. It is not hard and dry. It is green and wet." + +They sit on the grass and look at the sky. They see the sun and the clouds. They say, "Maybe we will go to another planet next time. But not the hard planet. A different one." They smile and hug. They are best friends. +Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to smell the flowers and look at the bees. Lily saw a yellow rose and wanted to take it. She said to Tom, "Look, a yellow rose! It is so pretty! Can I take it?" + +Tom said, "No, Lily, you can't take it. It is not ours. It belongs to the old lady who lives next door. She loves her roses and takes care of them. If you take it, she will be sad and angry." + +But Lily did not listen to Tom. She said, "I don't care. I want the yellow rose. It will make me happy." She ran to the rose and pulled it from the stem. She hurt her hand on the thorns, but she did not mind. She held the rose and smiled. + +Tom was scared. He said, "Lily, you are naughty. You should put the rose back. The old lady will see you and yell at you. She might even call your mom and dad. They will be mad at you too." + +But Lily did not listen to Tom. She said, "No, I will keep the rose. It is mine now. You are silly and boring. Go away." She walked away from Tom and went to the fence. + +The old lady was watching from her window. She saw Lily take her yellow rose. She was very sad and angry. She opened the door and shouted, "Hey, you little thief! How dare you take my yellow rose! It was my favorite! Give it back to me right now!" + +Lily was scared. She dropped the rose and tried to run away. But the old lady was faster. She grabbed Lily by the arm and dragged her to her house. She said, "You are a bad girl. You have no manners and no respect. You will stay here until your mom and dad come. They will punish you for what you did." + +Lily cried and cried. She wished she had listened to Tom. She wished she had not taken the yellow rose. She was sorry, but it was too late. She had made a big mistake. +Ben and Mia liked to play with words. They had a big book with many words and what they meant. The book was called a dictionary. Ben and Mia would take turns to pick a word and say what it meant. Then they would try to use the word in a sentence. + +One day, Ben picked a hard word. He said, "The word is competitive. It means you want to win or be better than others. For example, I am competitive when I play games with you." Mia did not know what competitive meant. She looked at the dictionary, but the words were too small and long. She felt sad and worried. She thought Ben would laugh at her or not want to play with her anymore. + +She said, "I don't know what competitive means. Can you tell me again?" Ben saw that Mia was worried. He did not want to make her feel bad. He said, "Competitive is not a bad word. It just means you like to try hard and have fun. Sometimes I am competitive, but sometimes I am not. It depends on the game and the mood. You are competitive too, sometimes. Remember when we raced to the park and you ran very fast?" + +Mia nodded. She remembered the race. She liked to run fast and feel the wind in her hair. She said, "Yes, I remember. I was competitive then. I wanted to win the race. But I also wanted to have fun with you. Is that okay?" Ben smiled. He said, "Of course it is okay. Being competitive is okay, as long as you are kind and fair. And you are always kind and fair, Mia. You are a good friend." Mia smiled too. She said, "Thank you, Ben. You are a good friend too. Can we play with words some more?" Ben said, "Yes, let's play. But this time, let's pick easy words. Words that we both know and like." They opened the dictionary and looked for easy words. They found words like cat, sun, cake, and hug. They said what they meant and used them in sentences. They had fun and learned new words. They did not worry anymore. +Lily and Ben are friends who like to play in the park. They have a lot of fun with the swings, the slide and the sandbox. One day, they see a big pile of sticks near a tree. They run to the pile and start to pick up the sticks. + +"Look, I have a long stick!" Lily says. "I can use it as a wand or a sword!" + +"I have a short stick!" Ben says. "I can use it as a drumstick or a pencil!" + +They pretend to do magic and music with their sticks. They laugh and have a good time. + +Then, a boy named Tom comes to the pile. He sees Lily's long stick and wants it. + +"Can I borrow your stick?" he asks Lily. + +Lily does not want to give her stick to Tom. She likes her stick. It is interesting and fun. + +"No, you can't borrow my stick!" she says. "It is mine!" + +Tom is angry. He tries to grab Lily's stick. Lily holds on to her stick. They pull and tug on the stick. + +"Stop it!" Ben says. "You are not nice! You can't take Lily's stick!" + +He uses his short stick to poke Tom. Tom lets go of Lily's stick and cries. + +"Ow! That hurts!" he says. He runs away from the pile. + +Lily and Ben hug each other. They are happy. They have their sticks. They go back to playing with their sticks. They are good friends. +Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had many toys because their parents were wealthy and bought them whatever they wanted. One day, they decided to play with their toy cars and trucks in the living room. + +"Look, Ben, I have a big truck that can carry oil," Anna said, showing her yellow toy truck. "Oil is very important and makes people wealthy." + +"I have a fast car that can race with anyone," Ben said, showing his red toy car. "Oil is not important, speed is important." + +They set their toys on the floor and pretended to drive them around. Anna's truck went to the toy oil well and filled up with oil. Ben's car zoomed past her and made loud noises. + +"Stop, Ben, you are making too much noise and you are not being careful," Anna said. "You might spill my oil or crash into something." + +"I don't care, Anna, I am having fun and you are boring," Ben said. "Your oil is not worth anything and your truck is slow." + +They started to argue and fight over their toys. They did not notice that their mother was watching them from the sofa. + +"Anna, Ben, what are you doing?" their mother asked. "Why are you fighting over your toys? You have so many toys and you should share them and play nicely." + +"But, Mom, he/she..." Anna and Ben started to complain. + +"Enough, both of you," their mother said. "You are not being grateful for what you have and you are not respecting each other. You need to learn that oil is not the only thing that makes people wealthy. Being kind, generous, and happy makes people wealthy too. Now, put away your toys and say sorry to each other." + +Anna and Ben realized that their mother was right and that they had been silly. They put away their toys and hugged each other. + +"Sorry, Anna, I was mean to you and your truck," Ben said. + +"Sorry, Ben, I was bossy to you and your car," Anna said. + +They smiled and kissed their mother. + +"We love you, Mom, and we love each other," they said. + +Their mother hugged them and smiled. + +"I love you too, my wealthy children," she said. +Anna loves to play basketball with her big brother Ben. She likes to bounce the ball and try to throw it in the hoop. Ben is patient and helps her learn how to play. + +One day, they go to the park to play basketball with their friends. Anna is excited and runs to the court with her ball. But when she gets there, she sees that another boy has taken her ball. He is playing with it and does not see her. + +"Hey, that's my ball!" Anna shouts. She runs to the boy and tries to take the ball back. But the boy is bigger and stronger and does not let go. He pushes Anna away and says, "No, it's mine now. Go away!" + +Anna feels sad and angry. She starts to cry and runs to Ben. Ben sees what happened and goes to the boy. He says, "That's not nice. You took Anna's ball without asking. That's her ball. Give it back, please." + +The boy looks at Ben and sees that he is serious. He does not want to fight with Ben. He says, "Sorry, I didn't know. Here, take the ball." He gives the ball back to Ben. + +Ben takes the ball and gives it to Anna. He says, "It's okay, Anna. Don't cry. He said sorry. Here, have your ball. Let's play together." + +Anna stops crying and smiles. She says, "Thank you, Ben. You are a good brother. I love you." She hugs Ben and takes the ball. She bounces it and says, "Let's play basketball!" +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to spring on the swings and slide down the slide. They saw a big box under a tree. It had a sign that said "Free toys". + +"Wow, look at that!" Lily said. "Maybe we can find something fun." + +They ran to the box and opened it. There were many toys inside. Some were old and some were new. Some were broken and some were shiny. + +Tom picked up a car. It had four wheels and a horn. He pressed the horn and it made a loud beep. He smiled and said, "This is a cool car. I want it." + +Lily picked up a doll. It had a dress and a hat. It had long hair and a smile. She hugged the doll and said, "This is a pretty doll. I want it." + +They put the car and the doll in their bags. They were happy with their new toys. They looked at the box again. There were still many toys left. + +"Should we take more?" Tom asked. + +Lily shook her head. She said, "No, we have enough. Maybe other kids will come and find something they like. We should be kind and share." + +Tom nodded. He said, "You are right. We should be kind and share. These toys have value for someone else." + +They closed the box and left a note. It said, "Thank you for the toys. We hope you find something you love." + +They walked away, holding their bags. They felt good in their hearts. They had learned a lesson about spring, value and kind. +Ben was a restless man. He did not like to sit still or do the same thing for a long time. He always wanted to go to new places and see new things. He had a big bag with many things inside. He liked to take his bag and walk far away. + +One day, he came to a big hill. He saw a big tree on top of the hill. He wanted to see the tree and what was behind it. He climbed the hill with his bag. He was tired and thirsty, but he did not stop. He reached the tree and looked around. He saw a big lake with blue water and green grass. He smiled and said, "This is a good place to lay down and rest." + +He put his bag under the tree and lay down on the grass. He closed his eyes and felt the sun on his face. He heard the birds singing and the water splashing. He was happy and calm. He fell asleep. + +He did not know that a little girl was watching him from behind a bush. She lived in a small house near the lake with her mother and father. She was curious and brave. She wanted to see the man and his bag. She waited until he was asleep and then came out of the bush. She walked slowly and quietly to the tree. She looked at the man and his bag. She saw many things inside the bag. She saw a book, a hat, a map, a knife, a ball, and a toy bear. She liked the toy bear. She reached out her hand and took the toy bear from the bag. + +The man heard a noise and opened his eyes. He saw the little girl holding his toy bear. He was angry and scared. He jumped up and shouted, "Hey, what are you doing? That is my toy bear! Give it back to me!" + +The little girl was scared and sad. She did not mean to make the man angry. She liked the toy bear and wanted to play with it. She did not know it was his. She said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I just wanted to see your toy bear. It is very nice and soft. Please don't be mad at me." + +The man looked at the little girl and saw her tears. He felt sorry for her. He remembered that he was once a little child who liked to play with toys. He said, "It's okay, it's okay. Don't cry. I'm not mad at you. You can play with my toy bear for a while. But you have to ask me first, okay?" + +The little girl nodded and smiled. She said, "Thank you, thank you. You are very kind. What is your name?" + +The man said, "My name is Ben. What is yours?" + +The little girl said, "My name is Lily. Do you want to play with me?" + +Ben said, "Sure, why not? I have nothing else to do. What do you want to play?" + +Lily said, "Let's play hide and seek. You count to ten and I hide. Then you find me. Okay?" + +Ben said, "Okay, let's play. One, two, three..." + +Lily ran away with the toy bear and hid behind a rock. Ben counted to ten and then looked for her. He found her and they laughed. They played hide and seek for a long time. They had fun and became friends. Ben was not restless anymore. He was happy and calm. He liked the lake and the grass and the tree. He liked Lily and her toy bear. He decided to stay there for a while. He said, "This is a good place to lay down and rest." +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play in their room. They have many toys and books. But sometimes they get bored. They want to see what is outside their room. + +One day, they hear a noise in the hall. It sounds like a bell. They are curious. They open the door and walk in the hall. They see a big box with a ribbon. It is a present. They wonder who it is for. + +They see a card on the box. It says "To Lily and Ben, from Grandma and Grandpa. Happy birthday!" They are happy. They did not know it was their birthday. They hug each other and say "Thank you, Grandma and Grandpa!" + +They open the box and see two bikes. One is pink and one is blue. They are shiny and new. They are excited. They want to ride them. They say "Wow, these are the best bikes ever!" + +They hear their mom and dad coming. They run to them and show them their bikes. Their mom and dad smile and say "Happy birthday, Lily and Ben! We are so proud of you. You are growing up so fast. You are fair and kind and smart. We love you very much!" + +Lily and Ben say "We love you too, mom and dad! And we love our bikes! Can we ride them outside?" Their mom and dad say "Of course you can. But first, let's have some cake and sing a song. It is your special day!" + +Lily and Ben agree. They walk back to their room with their bikes. They see a big cake with candles on the table. It looks yummy. They blow the candles and make a wish. They wish for more fun and adventures with their bikes. They eat the cake and sing a song. They are happy. It is the best birthday ever. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, they go to the library with their moms. The library has many books and toys. Lily and Ben see a big toy. It is a robot. The robot has lights and sounds. It can talk and move. + +Lily and Ben want to play with the robot. They go near the robot. The robot says, "Hello, I am Robo. What are your names?" Lily and Ben are in shock. They have never seen a robot that can talk. They look at each other. They do not know what to say. + +The robot says, "Do not be afraid. I am a friendly robot. I like to play and learn. Do you want to play with me?" Lily and Ben nod. They are curious. They want to see what the robot can do. They say their names. "I am Lily. I am Ben." The robot says, "Nice to meet you, Lily and Ben. You have nice names. Do you want to see my modern tricks?" Lily and Ben say, "Yes, please." + +The robot shows them his modern tricks. He can sing and dance. He can count and spell. He can make funny faces and noises. He can tell stories and jokes. Lily and Ben laugh and clap. They have fun with the robot. They learn new things. They make a new friend. They like the robot. The robot likes them. They are happy. +Lily loved to write in her diary every day. She drew pictures of her family, her friends, and her toys. She also wrote some words that she learned at school. She kept her diary under her pillow, so no one could see it. + +One day, she came home from school and saw her brother Max in her room. He was holding her diary and looking at it. Lily was very angry. She ran to him and shouted, "Give me that! That is mine! You are not allowed to see it!" + +Max laughed and said, "Why not? What are you hiding? Are you writing secrets?" He opened the diary and started to read it out loud. He made fun of Lily's pictures and words. He said, "This is silly. You can't draw. You can't write. You are a baby." + +Lily felt very sad and hurt. She tried to grab her diary, but Max was bigger and stronger. He pushed her away and said, "Go away. This is more fun than your stupid diary." + +Lily ran out of the room and cried. She went to find her mom. She told her what Max did. Mom was very upset. She said, "That is not nice. That is not fair. That is not healthy. Your diary is yours. You can write whatever you want. You are a good writer and a good artist. You are a smart girl." + +Mom went to Lily's room and took the diary from Max. She said, "You should not examine your sister's diary. You should respect her privacy. You should apologize to her. You should be a good brother." + +Max felt ashamed. He realized he was wrong. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I was mean. I was bored. I won't do it again. Can I see your diary if you let me?" + +Lily thought for a moment. She said, "Maybe. But only if you are nice. And only if you draw something with me." + +Max agreed. He said, "Okay. Let's do that. You can teach me how to draw and write better." + +Lily smiled. She said, "Okay. Let's do that. You can learn from me." + +They hugged and made up. They shared the diary and had fun. Mom was happy to see them get along. She said, "That is nice. That is fair. That is healthy. You are good siblings." +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big pile of waste near the slide. It is dirty and smelly. They do not like it. + +"Who made this waste?" Tom asks. "It is bad for the park and the animals." + +"I do not know," Lily says. "But we can solve this problem. We can put the waste in the bin." + +They find a big bin near the gate. They use their hands and a stick to move the waste from the pile to the bin. It is hard work, but they are happy to help. + +When they finish, they see a man with a cart. He is selling ice cream. He smiles at them and says, "You are very good children. You cleaned the park. You can have a free ice cream. What flavor do you want?" + +Tom and Lily choose their favorite flavors. They lick their ice cream. It is cold and delicious. They thank the man and sit on the bench. They enjoy their treat and their clean park. They are proud of themselves. They solved the problem. +Lila and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big fly on a flower. Lila wants to test the fly. She says, "I want to touch the fly. Maybe it is soft and nice." + +Tom says, "No, Lila, don't touch the fly. The fly is stupid and dirty. It can bite you and make you sick. Let the fly be." + +But Lila does not listen to Tom. She moves her hand slowly to the fly. The fly does not see her. She touches the fly with her finger. The fly feels hard and tickly. Lila giggles. + +But then, the fly gets angry. It buzzes and flies away from the flower. It flies to Lila's face. It bites her nose. Lila cries. It hurts a lot. + +Tom runs to Lila. He hugs her and says, "I'm sorry, Lila. Are you okay? The fly is mean and bad. You should not test the fly." + +Lila says, "I'm sorry, Tom. You were right. The fly is stupid and dirty. I should not touch the fly. I will not do it again." + +Tom and Lila go to the bench. They put some ice on Lila's nose. They feel better. They say, "We are still friends. We will play with nice things, not with stupid flies." +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to splash water on each other with the hose. They laughed and ran around the grass. + +But then they saw a big spider on the fence. It had eight legs and hairy eyes. Lily and Ben were fearful of the spider. They stopped splashing and hid behind a tree. + +"Go away, spider!" Lily shouted. "You are scary and mean!" + +But the spider did not go away. It crawled closer to the hose. It looked hungry and angry. + +Ben had an idea. He saw an apple on the ground. He picked it up and threw it at the spider. The apple hit the spider and made it fall off the fence. + +"Yay, Ben!" Lily cheered. "You are brave and smart!" + +The spider ran away into the bushes. Lily and Ben hugged each other. They were happy and safe. + +They went back to splashing water on each other. They forgot about the spider. They had fun in the garden. +Sam and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to look for stones and see what was inside. Sometimes they found shiny things or pretty colors. They had a big bag of stones they had opened. + +"Look, Lily, I found a big stone!" Sam said. He held up a round, brown stone that was heavy. "Maybe there is something good inside!" + +"Let me see!" Lily said. She took the stone from Sam and tried to open it. She hit it with another stone, but it did not break.

The mouse and the bird told the frog their story, and the frog said “Ah-hah! You two were trying to do too much on your own. If you want to unite this vine, why not work together?

You wouldn't like that, would you?" + +Jack said, "No, I wouldn't like that. I don't like it when it's dark." + +So, Jack and his dad drove home. Jack was still sad, but he knew his dad was right.

You can have sour feelings, but doing the right thing is always the best choice. +Once there was a little boy called Jimmy. He was 3 years old and full of energy!

He wanted to keep playing and be outside. He started to suffer, feeling deep sad because he could not go outside. That night, the storm went on and on. + +The next morning, Joe asked his mom, "Why did the storm make us suffer?" + +"Because, Joe," his mom said, "sometimes rain and wind come together too strong. That can be dangerous, and we have to be careful. But remember, the sun will come back out soon and you can go play again." + +Joe smiled and nodded his head in agreement. He was happy the sun would come out soon, and he knew his mom would always take care of him. +Once upon a time, there were two friends, Jack and Jill. They lived in a regular square house. +One day, Jack felt brave. He said to Jill: "I want to resist the big bad man!" +Jill said, "That is too dangerous.
