+
+Tom was a big dog. He lived in the house with Lily and the humans. He heard Lily's cry and ran to see what was wrong. He saw Lily shaking and whimpering on the floor. He saw the wire that had hurt her. He wanted to protect Lily from the wire.
+
+He barked at the wire and tried to push it away with his nose. But the wire was not afraid of Tom. It was still hot and had electricity in it. It hurt Tom's nose and made him yelp. Tom jumped back and shook his head.
+
+The humans heard Tom's yelp and came to see what was wrong. They saw Lily and Tom on the floor, both hurt by the wire. They saw the wire that had come loose from the wall. They were very angry and scared. They shouted at Lily and Tom and took them to the vet. The vet said that Lily and Tom had burns and needed medicine. The humans said that Lily and Tom were bad and naughty. They said that they could not keep them in the house anymore. They gave Lily and Tom to a shelter. Lily and Tom never saw the humans or the house again. They were very sad and lonely. They wished they had never seen the wire.
+Tim and Kim are twins. They like to play on the farm with their dog, Rex. Rex is big and brown and likes to run and bark.
+
+One day, Tim and Kim see a big field of wheat. Wheat is yellow and soft and makes bread. Tim and Kim want to touch the wheat. They run into the field and feel the wheat with their hands.
+
+But Rex does not like the wheat. He thinks the wheat is bad. He wants to protect Tim and Kim from the wheat. He runs after them and barks loud. He tries to bite the wheat and pull it out of the ground.
+
+Tim and Kim are scared of Rex. They do not want Rex to bite the wheat. They do not want Rex to be angry. They run out of the field and call Rex. They say, "Rex, stop! The wheat is not bad. The wheat is good. Do not bite the wheat!"
+
+Rex hears Tim and Kim. He stops biting the wheat. He runs to them and licks their faces. He is sorry for biting the wheat. He is not angry anymore. He is happy.
+
+Tim and Kim hug Rex. They say, "Rex, we love you. You are a good dog. But do not bite the wheat again. The wheat is for the farmer. The farmer will be upset if you bite the wheat."
+
+Rex nods his head. He understands. He will not bite the wheat again. He will play with Tim and Kim on the farm. They are a happy family.
+Tim and Sue are friends. They like to play with toys and eat jelly. Tim has red jelly and Sue has green jelly. They share their jelly and have fun.
+
+One day, Tim is sick. He cannot go to play with Sue. He stays at home with his mom. He misses Sue and his red jelly. He is sad and bored.
+
+Sue goes to play with another friend, Max. Max has blue jelly. Sue likes blue jelly. She forgets about Tim and his red jelly. She has fun with Max.
+
+The next day, Tim is better. He goes to play with Sue. He brings his red jelly. He wants to share it with Sue. He is happy.
+
+But Sue does not want to play with Tim. She wants to play with Max. She likes Max and his blue jelly. She does not care about Tim and his red jelly. She says to Tim, "Go away, Tim. I do not want to be your friend. I have a new friend, Max. He has blue jelly. Blue jelly is better than red jelly. You are silly and boring."
+
+Tim is very sad. He cries. He does not understand why Sue is mean to him. He loves Sue and his red jelly. He has no friend and no fun. He goes home with his mom. He hugs his red jelly. He misses Sue. He wishes Sue would be his friend again. But Sue does not miss Tim. She is happy with Max and his blue jelly. The end.
+Lila and Tom are on a big plane. They are going to see their grandma in another land. Lila likes to look out the window and see the clouds. Tom likes to play with his toy cars and trucks.
+
+But then the plane starts to shake and make loud noises. Lila and Tom feel scared. They hold their mom's hand and ask her what is happening.
+
+"Don't worry, my loves," mom says. "The plane is just going through some thin air. It will be over soon. Just relax and breathe."
+
+Lila and Tom try to relax and breathe. They hug their mom and each other. They close their eyes and think of happy things. They think of their grandma's house, her big garden, and her yummy cookies.
+
+After a while, the plane stops shaking and making loud noises. Lila and Tom open their eyes and see the land below. They see green fields, blue lakes, and small houses. They smile and clap their hands.
+
+"Look, we are almost there!" mom says. "Are you ready to see grandma?"
+
+"Yes, yes, yes!" Lila and Tom say. They are not scared anymore. They are excited and happy. They can't wait to land and hug their grandma.
+Lily had a furry doll that she loved very much. She called her doll Mia and put her in her bed every night. Mia had a pretty dress and a big bow on her head. Lily liked to hug Mia and talk to her.
+
+One day, Lily went to play with her friend Ben. Ben had many toys, but he did not share them. He saw Mia and wanted to play with her. He grabbed Mia from Lily and ran away. Lily was very sad and angry. She cried and chased Ben.
+
+Ben did not care about Mia. He threw her on the floor and stepped on her. Mia's dress got dirty and her bow fell off. Lily saw what Ben did and felt very bad. She picked up Mia and hugged her. She said, "I'm sorry, Mia. You are my value. I will never let anyone hurt you."
+
+Ben saw that Lily was not happy. He felt a little sorry, too. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I was mean to you and Mia. I did not know that Mia was your value. Can we be friends?" Lily looked at Ben and nodded. She said, "Yes, we can be friends. But you have to be nice and share your toys. And you have to say sorry to Mia, too." Ben nodded and said, "I'm sorry, Mia. You are a nice and furry doll. Can I hug you?" Mia did not say anything, but Lily smiled and let Ben hug Mia.
+
+The moral of the story is: We should respect other people's values and not take them away. We should also apologize when we make a mistake and try to be kind and friendly.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and hide behind the trees. They saw a big gate at the end of the garden. It was brown and old and had a lock on it.
+
+"Let's go see what's behind the gate!" Ben said. He ran to the gate and tried to open it. But it was locked and he could not move it.
+
+Lily followed him and looked at the gate. She saw a small hole in the wood. She put her eye to the hole and saw a field with flowers and cows.
+
+"Wow, look at that!" she said. "There are so many pretty things behind the gate!"
+
+Ben wanted to see too. He pushed Lily aside and put his eye to the hole. But he was too big and his head got stuck in the hole.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" he cried. "Help me, Lily! I can't get out!"
+
+Lily was worried. She did not know what to do. She tried to pull Ben's head out of the hole, but it was too tight. She looked around and saw a stick on the ground. She picked it up and tried to push the lock with it, but it was too hard.
+
+She heard a voice behind her. It was their mom.
+
+"What are you two doing?" she asked. She saw Ben's head in the hole and Lily with the stick. She was surprised and angry.
+
+"Ben, how did you get your head in there?" she asked. "Lily, why are you holding a stick?"
+
+Lily dropped the stick and ran to her mom. She hugged her and said, "Mom, mom, we were just looking at the field and Ben got his head stuck and I tried to help him and I'm sorry and please don't be mad!"
+
+Mom sighed and hugged Lily back. She said, "It's okay, Lily. I'm not mad. I'm glad you tried to help Ben. But you should not play with the gate. It's old and dangerous. And you should not use sticks to hit things. They can hurt you or someone else."
+
+She went to the gate and looked at Ben. He was still crying and his face was red. She said, "Ben, don't worry. I'll get you out. Just relax and breathe. I'll squeeze your head gently and pull it out."
+
+She put her hands on Ben's head and squeezed it softly. She pulled it out of the hole. Ben felt a lot of pain, but he was happy to be free. He hugged his mom and said, "Thank you, mom. I'm sorry, mom. I won't do it again, mom."
+
+Mom smiled and said, "It's okay, Ben. I'm glad you're okay. But you should be more careful and listen to me. The gate is not a toy. It's a fence. It keeps the cows in and the people out. You don't want to go to the field. It's not safe. The cows might chase you or kick you. And there might be snakes or bugs or thorns. You have a nice garden here. You can play with the flowers and the trees and the toys. But not with the gate. Do you understand?"
+
+Lily and Ben nodded and said, "Yes, mom. We understand. We're sorry, mom. We love you, mom."
+
+Mom hugged them and said, "I love you too, Lily and Ben. Now let's go inside and have some juice and cookies. And maybe some ice for your head, Ben."
+
+They walked to the house, holding hands. They did not look at the gate anymore. They learned their lesson. The gate was not a toy. It was a fence. And they were happy to stay in the garden.
+Tom and Mia liked to play with their toy boats. They had a big tub of water in the garden, and they would sail their boats on it. They made waves with their hands and pretended to be pirates.
+
+One day, they saw a trail of ants on the grass. The ants were carrying bits of food to their nest. Tom and Mia thought it would be fun to sail their boats on the trail. They took their boats out of the tub and put them on the ground.
+
+"Look, Mia, the ants are like fish!" Tom said. "Let's catch them with our boats!"
+
+"Okay, Tom, that sounds cool!" Mia said. They pushed their boats along the trail, trying to scoop up the ants.
+
+But the ants did not like that. They got angry and started to bite Tom and Mia. They bit their fingers, their toes, and their faces. Tom and Mia screamed and ran away, dropping their boats.
+
+The ants took their boats and carried them to their nest. They tore them apart and used them to make their nest bigger. Tom and Mia never saw their boats again. They were very sad and sore. They learned not to bother the ants.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play together, but sometimes they quarrel. One day, they are having lunch with their mom. Mom makes a salad for them. She puts lettuce, tomatoes, cheese and dressing in a big bowl. She says, "This is a yummy salad. You will like it."
+
+Anna likes salad. She takes a big spoon and puts some salad on her plate. She says, "Thank you, mom. I love salad." She starts to eat and makes a happy sound.
+
+Ben does not like salad. He makes a face and pushes his plate away. He says, "No, thank you, mom. I don't want salad. I want pizza." He crosses his arms and pouts.
+
+Mom says, "Ben, you have to try the salad. It is good for you. You can have pizza another day."
+
+Ben says, "No, I don't have to try it. It looks yucky. I only want pizza."
+
+Anna says, "Ben, you are silly. Salad is yummy. You are missing out. Look, I have cheese and tomatoes. They are my favorite."
+
+Ben says, "Anna, you are silly. Salad is yucky. You are wasting your time. Look, I have nothing. I am hungry."
+
+Anna and Ben start to quarrel. They raise their voices and say mean things to each other. Mom says, "Stop, stop, stop. You are making a lot of noise. You are hurting my ears. You have to be nice to each other. You are twins. You are supposed to share and care."
+
+Anna and Ben look at mom. They feel sorry. They say, "Sorry, mom. Sorry, Anna. Sorry, Ben." They hug each other and say, "We love you, mom. We love you, Anna. We love you, Ben."
+
+Mom smiles and says, "I love you, too. Now, why don't you try the salad? Maybe you will like it after all."
+
+Anna and Ben nod and say, "Okay, mom. We will try it." They take some salad and put it in their mouths. They chew and swallow. They make a surprised sound.
+
+Anna says, "Hey, this is not so bad. It is actually yummy."
+
+Ben says, "You are right, Anna. It is not so yucky. It is actually good."
+
+Mom says, "See, I told you. You never know until you try. I am glad you like the salad. Now, you can have some fruit for dessert."
+
+Anna and Ben say, "Yay, fruit. We love fruit. Thank you, mom. You are the best."
+
+Mom says, "You are welcome, my sweeties. You are the best, too." She hugs them and kisses them. They finish their lunch and go to play. They are happy and do not quarrel anymore.
+Lily and Ben were playing with their wagon in the backyard. They liked to fill it with toys, rocks, leaves and anything else they could find. They pretended they were going on a long trip to a faraway land.
+
+"Let's measure how big our wagon is," Ben said. He had a tape measure that his dad gave him. He liked to measure things and see how long or wide or tall they were.
+
+"Okay," Lily said. She helped Ben stretch the tape measure from one end of the wagon to the other. "How much is it?" she asked.
+
+Ben looked at the numbers on the tape measure. He could not read them very well, but he knew some of them. "It is ten and five and two," he said. "That is a lot!"
+
+Lily nodded. She did not know what those numbers meant, but she agreed that it was a lot. "Our wagon is very big," she said. "It is perfect for our trip."
+
+They smiled at each other and got in the wagon. Ben held the tape measure like a steering wheel and Lily held a stuffed animal like a map. They made engine noises and drove their wagon around the yard, imagining all the places they would go. They had a lot of fun with their wagon and their tape measure. They did not need anything else.
+Tim and Sam are friends. They like to play with blocks. They make a stack of blocks. The stack is very high. They are happy.
+
+But then, Ben comes. Ben is not nice. He wants to play with the blocks too. He does not ask. He pushes the stack. The stack falls down. The blocks go everywhere. Tim and Sam are sad.
+
+"Hey, why did you do that?" Tim says to Ben. "That was our stack. We worked hard to make it."
+
+"I don't care. I want the blocks. They are mine now." Ben says. He grabs some blocks. He tries to make his own stack.
+
+But the sun is shining. It is very bright. It shines in Ben's eyes. He cannot see well. He drops the blocks. His stack is not good. He is angry.
+
+Tim and Sam see the sun. They have an idea. They use the blocks to make something else. They make a sun hat. They put it on their heads. The sun hat blocks the sun. They can see well. They are happy.
+
+"Look at us. We have sun hats. They are cool. They are tough." Sam says to Tim.
+
+"Yes, they are. And we have more blocks. We can make another stack. Or something else." Tim says to Sam.
+
+They smile. They play with the blocks. They have fun.
+
+Ben sees them. He wants a sun hat too. He does not have enough blocks. He is sad. He is sorry. He wishes he was nice.
+Ben and Mia were playing in the backyard after dinner. They liked to pretend they were explorers, looking for treasure and animals. Ben had a flashlight and Mia had a map. They marked the places they visited with sticks and stones.
+
+"Look, Ben, there is a big hole in the fence!" Mia said. "Maybe there is something cool on the other side. Let's go and see!"
+
+"No, Mia, we can't go there. Mom and Dad said it is not safe. There are mean dogs and cars and trash. We have to stay in the backyard." Ben said. He was scared of the hole.
+
+But Mia was stubborn. She wanted to see what was on the other side. She said, "Don't be a baby, Ben. It will be fun. I will go first and you can follow me. Come on, it's an adventure!"
+
+She crawled through the hole and ran to the street. Ben tried to stop her, but he was too late. He followed her with his flashlight, calling her name. He saw her run across the street, not looking for cars. He saw a big truck coming fast, honking its horn. He saw Mia get hit by the truck and fall to the ground. He saw blood and tears and pain.
+
+He dropped his flashlight and ran to her, screaming for help. He wished he had listened to Mom and Dad. He wished he had stopped Mia. He wished he could mark this day as the worst day ever.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and run after it. Sometimes they would yell, "Catch!" or "Here!" or "Wow!" They had a lot of fun.
+
+But then the sky became dark and the wind became powerful. The ball flew away from them and rolled into the woods. Tom and Lily were scared. They did not like the dark and the powerful wind. They wanted their ball back.
+
+"Let's go get it!" Tom said. He was brave.
+
+"No, it's too dark!" Lily said. She was not brave.
+
+"Come on, it's just a ball. We can find it." Tom said. He took Lily's hand and walked into the woods.
+
+They looked for the ball, but they could not see it. The woods were very dark and the wind was very powerful. They heard strange noises and saw scary shadows. They wished they were back in the park.
+
+"Tom, I'm scared!" Lily said. She started to cry.
+
+"Me too, Lily. Me too." Tom said. He hugged Lily and tried to be brave.
+
+They yelled for help, but no one heard them. They were lost in the dark and the powerful wind. They did not know what to do. They hoped someone would find them soon.
+Ben and Mia were friends who liked to play with toys. One day, they found a big drum in the park. It was red and shiny and made a loud noise when they hit it. Ben and Mia wanted to play with the drum, but they had a problem. They had too many other toys to carry.
+
+"Let's sort our toys and leave some here," Ben said. "Then we can take the drum home."
+
+"OK," Mia said. "But how do we sort them?"
+
+Ben thought for a moment. He said, "Let's keep the toys that are unique and leave the toys that are common. Unique toys are more fun and special."
+
+Mia nodded. She liked unique toys too. They started to sort their toys. They kept the toys that had bright colors, funny shapes, or made sounds. They left the toys that were plain, round, or silent.
+
+They finished sorting their toys and put them in a bag. They lifted the drum and started to walk home. They were happy and excited.
+
+But when they got home, they had a surprise. Their parents were angry and sad. They asked them where their toys were. Ben and Mia told them what they did.
+
+Their parents shook their heads. They said, "You made a big mistake. You left behind some of the most important toys. They were not common, they were precious. They were gifts from your grandparents, your aunts, and your uncles. They loved you and wanted you to have them. They were not just toys, they were memories. You should not sort toys by how they look or sound, but by how they make you feel."
+
+Ben and Mia felt sorry and ashamed. They realized they were wrong. They wanted to get their toys back, but it was too late. Someone had taken them from the park. They lost their toys and their drum. They learned a hard lesson. They learned that unique is not always better, and that some things are more valuable than others.
+Lily and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big hole in the ground. They wonder what is inside.
+
+"Maybe there are bugs or worms or treasure," Lily says.
+
+"Let's find out," Ben says. He picks up a stick and throws it in the hole. They hear a thud.
+
+"Did you hear that?" Lily asks. "Something is in there."
+
+They go closer to the hole and look inside. They see a shiny metal box. It is hidden under some dirt.
+
+"Wow, what is that?" Ben says. He reaches for the box.
+
+"Be careful, it might be a trap," Lily says. She is scared.
+
+Ben pulls the box out of the hole. He opens it. Inside, there are some candies and a note.
+
+"Happy birthday, Ben!" the note says. "We hid this for you. Love, Mom and Dad."
+
+Ben smiles. He is happy. He shares the candies with Lily.
+
+"Thank you, Lily, for playing with me," he says.
+
+"Thank you, Ben, for sharing with me," she says.
+
+They hug and eat the candies. They are good friends.
+Lily was an adventurous girl who liked to swim in the sea. She loved to see the fish, the shells and the seaweed. One day, she saw a big, shiny jellyfish. It looked like a balloon with long strings.
+
+"Wow, what is that?" Lily asked her mom, who was watching her from the shore.
+
+"That is a jellyfish, Lily. It is an animal that lives in the water. But you should not touch it, because it can sting you and hurt you," her mom said.
+
+Lily nodded, but she was very curious. She wanted to get closer to the jellyfish and see how it felt. She swam towards it slowly and reached out her hand.
+
+"Stop, Lily, don't do that!" her mom shouted.
+
+But it was too late. The jellyfish stung Lily's hand and she cried out in pain. She quickly swam back to her mom, who wrapped her hand in a towel and took her to the doctor.
+
+The doctor gave Lily some medicine and a bandage. He told her that she would be fine, but she had to be careful with jellyfish.
+
+"Lily, you are a very adventurous girl, and that is good. But you also have to listen to your mom and learn about the things you see in the sea. Some of them can be dangerous and hurt you. Do you understand?" the doctor said.
+
+Lily nodded and said sorry to her mom. She hugged her and said she loved her.
+
+"I love you too, Lily. And I'm proud of you for being brave. But next time, please be more careful and don't touch the jellyfish. OK?" her mom said.
+
+Lily agreed and smiled. She learned a lesson that day. She still liked to swim in the sea, but she also liked to drink water, eat ice cream and read books about the animals she saw. She was an adventurous girl, but also a smart and safe one.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. They saw a big person with a dog. The dog was big and loud. It barked and growled at them.
+
+"Let's go away. The dog is scary," Lily said.
+
+"No, I am not scared. I dare you to touch the dog," Tom said.
+
+"Are you crazy? The dog will bite you," Lily said.
+
+"I am not crazy. I am brave. Watch me," Tom said.
+
+He ran to the dog and tried to touch it. The big person was confused. He did not see Tom coming. The dog did not like Tom. It bit him hard on the arm. Tom screamed and cried. Lily ran to him and tried to help him. The big person was sorry. He called for help.
+
+Tom was hurt. He had to go to the hospital. He had a big bandage on his arm. He was sad and angry. He wished he did not dare to touch the dog. Lily was sad too. She wished Tom listened to her. They learned a hard lesson. They should not do silly things. They should be careful and kind.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys. One day, they see a big truck in the park. The truck is red and shiny. It has many wheels and a loud horn.
+
+"Wow, look at that truck!" Lily says. "It is so big and pretty. I want to play with it."
+
+"Me too," Ben says. "But it is not our truck. It belongs to someone else. We should not touch it."
+
+Lily does not listen to Ben. She runs to the truck and climbs inside. She finds a key in the ignition. She turns the key and the truck starts. It makes a lot of noise.
+
+"Come on, Ben, let's go for a ride!" Lily says. "It will be fun!"
+
+Ben is scared. He does not want to go with Lily. He knows that Lily is stealing the truck. He knows that stealing is bad. He tries to stop Lily.
+
+"Lily, no, this is wrong!" Ben says. "We have to get out of the truck. We have to give it back. We will get in trouble."
+
+But Lily does not listen to Ben. She pushes a pedal and the truck moves. It goes very fast. Lily does not know how to drive. She does not know how to stop. She does not see the cars and the people on the road. She does not see the big tree in front of her.
+
+The truck hits the tree with a loud crash. The truck is broken. Lily and Ben are hurt. They cry and scream. The owner of the truck comes. He is angry. He calls the police. The police come. They take Lily and Ben away. They are not friends anymore. They are not happy. They are not having fun. They are in big trouble.
+Lily loved to read novels. She had many novels in her room. She liked to squeeze them and smell them and look at the pictures. She always asked her mom to read them to her before bed.
+
+One day, Lily went to the park with her mom. She saw a boy sitting on a bench. He looked sad. He had no books, no toys, no friends. Lily felt sorry for him. She ran to him and said, "Hi, I'm Lily. Do you want to play with me?"
+
+The boy looked up and smiled. He said, "Hi, I'm Sam. I would love to play with you. But I have nothing to play with. I have no books, no toys, no friends. My mom is sick and we have no money."
+
+Lily thought for a moment. She had an idea. She said, "Wait here, I'll be right back." She ran to her mom and asked her if she could give one of her novels to Sam. Her mom said yes, but only one. Lily had to choose.
+
+Lily looked at her novels. She loved them all. She didn't want to give any of them away. But she remembered how sad Sam looked. She decided to be generous. She picked her favorite novel, the one with the most pictures and the most adventures. She squeezed it and kissed it and said goodbye.
+
+She ran back to Sam and gave him the novel. She said, "This is for you. It's my favorite novel. I hope you like it. It has many pictures and many adventures. You can squeeze it and smell it and look at the pictures. Maybe your mom can read it to you before bed."
+
+Sam was amazed. He couldn't believe that Lily gave him her favorite novel. He said, "Thank you, Lily. You are very generous. This is the best gift I ever got. I love it. I will squeeze it and smell it and look at the pictures. Maybe my mom can read it to me before bed."
+
+Lily and Sam hugged and smiled. They became friends. They played together in the park. They shared stories and jokes and secrets. They were happy.
+
+The end.
+
+Moral value: Being generous can make you and others happy.
+
+Foreshadowing or setup and payoff: Lily's love for novels and her habit of squeezing them sets up her dilemma of choosing one to give away and her gesture of generosity. Sam's lack of books, toys and friends sets up his need for a gift and a friend. Lily's favorite novel with the most pictures and adventures pays off as the best gift for Sam and a symbol of their friendship.
+Lily and Max were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but their favorite ones were the wooden blocks. They could build houses, towers, bridges, and anything they wanted with the blocks. But sometimes they fought over the blocks, because they wanted the same ones or they did not like what the other one was building.
+
+One day, it was a gloomy day. The sky was gray and it rained a lot. Lily and Max could not go outside to play, so they stayed in their room with their blocks. They started to build their own things, but soon they ran out of blocks. They looked at each other's creations and felt unhappy.
+
+"Your house is ugly," Lily said to Max. "You used all the red blocks and they do not match."
+
+"Your tower is silly," Max said to Lily. "You used all the big blocks and they are too heavy."
+
+They both grabbed some blocks from each other and threw them on the floor. The blocks made a loud noise and their mom came to see what was wrong.
+
+"What are you doing?" their mom asked. "Why are you fighting over the blocks?"
+
+"They are mine!" Lily and Max both said at the same time.
+
+"No, they are not," their mom said. "They are for both of you to share and enjoy. You should not be mean to each other. You are twins, you should unite and help each other. That is what makes you special and strong."
+
+Lily and Max looked at each other and felt sorry. They realized their mom was right. They hugged each other and said they were sorry.
+
+"Can we play together?" Lily asked Max.
+
+"Yes, we can," Max said to Lily.
+
+They picked up the blocks from the floor and started to build something new. They used all the colors and sizes of the blocks and made a big castle. They were happy and proud of their castle. They invited their mom to see it and she smiled.
+
+"That is a beautiful castle," their mom said. "You did a great job. I am glad you united and played nicely. That is what makes me happy."
+
+Lily and Max smiled too. They learned that it was better to unite and share than to fight and be gloomy. They also learned that they could make anything they wanted with the blocks, as long as they matched their imagination.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to pretend they were spies. They had toy guns that made noises and lights. They hid behind the trees and bushes and tried to catch each other.
+
+"Bang, bang, I got you!" Lily shouted, pointing her gun at Ben.
+
+"No, you didn't, I dodged!" Ben said, running away.
+
+They chased each other around the park, laughing and having fun. They felt like they were in a movie.
+
+But then they saw a man with a big bag. He looked funny. He had a mask on his face and a hat on his head. He was walking fast and looking around. He went to a car and opened the door.
+
+"Hey, what are you doing?" Lily asked, curious.
+
+The man turned around and saw them. He looked scared and angry. He pulled out a real gun from his bag. It was black and shiny. It did not glow like their toy guns.
+
+"Stay away from me, kids!" he yelled. "This is none of your business!"
+
+Lily and Ben were scared. They did not like the man or his gun. They did not want to play anymore. They wanted to go home.
+
+They ran away from the car and the man. They looked for a grown-up to help them. They saw a police officer nearby. He had a badge and a radio.
+
+"Help, help, there's a bad man with a gun!" they cried.
+
+The police officer heard them and saw the man. He ran to the car and pointed his gun at the man.
+
+"Freeze, you're under arrest!" he said.
+
+The man tried to drive away, but the police officer stopped him. He put handcuffs on him and took him away.
+
+Lily and Ben were safe. They hugged each other and thanked the police officer.
+
+"You did the right thing, kids," he said. "You were very brave and smart. You helped me catch a robber."
+
+He gave them stickers and a ride home. They told their parents what happened. They were proud and happy.
+
+They learned that real guns were not toys. They were dangerous and scary. They decided to only play with their toy guns that glowed and made noises. They were more fun and safe.
+Ben and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. They heard their mom call them from the kitchen. "Time for lunch, kids!" she said.
+
+Ben and Lily ran to the kitchen. They saw two plates of food on the table. One had a sandwich and some grapes. The other had a bowl of soup and some crackers.
+
+"I want the sandwich!" Ben said. He reached for the plate.
+
+"No, I want the sandwich!" Lily said. She grabbed the plate.
+
+"Hey, that's not fair!" Ben said. He pulled the plate back.
+
+"Stop it, you two!" their mom said. "You can both have some sandwich and some soup. Share nicely, please."
+
+"But I don't like soup!" Ben said. He made a face.
+
+"And I don't like crackers!" Lily said. She stuck out her tongue.
+
+Their mom sighed. She knew they were hungry, but they were also picky. She decided to try a different approach.
+
+"Look, kids, this is a special food. It's called 'insist food'. Do you know what that means?" she asked.
+
+Ben and Lily shook their heads.
+
+"It means that if you eat this food, you can insist on something you want later. For example, if you eat some soup, you can insist on playing with your favorite toy. Or if you eat some crackers, you can insist on watching your favorite show. How does that sound?" she said.
+
+Ben and Lily thought about it. They liked the idea of insisting on something they wanted. They decided to give the food a try.
+
+"Okay, mom, we'll eat the insist food," they said.
+
+They each took a bite of their food. They smiled. It was not so bad after all.
+
+"Good job, kids," their mom said. "Now, what do you want to insist on?"
+
+Ben and Lily looked at each other. They had the same idea.
+
+"We want to insist on having more sandwich!" they said.
+Lila and Ben like to play with the kitchen toys. They have a big pan, a small pan, a spoon, a bowl and some pretend food. They pretend to cook and eat yummy things.
+
+One day, they find a new toy in the kitchen. It is a scale. It has a needle that moves when you put something on it. It can tell you how heavy something is. Lila and Ben are curious. They want to try it.
+
+They take turns putting different things on the scale. They put the big pan on it. The needle moves a lot. The big pan is heavy. They put the small pan on it. The needle moves a little. The small pan is light. They put the spoon on it. The needle does not move. The spoon is very light.
+
+They have fun weighing different things. They weigh the bowl, the pretend food, a book, a toy car, a teddy bear. They compare the weights and make guesses.
+
+Then, Lila has an idea. She wants to weigh Ben. She asks him to sit on the scale. Ben agrees. He is gentle and careful. He does not want to break the scale. He sits on the scale. The needle moves a lot. Ben is heavy. Lila laughs. She tells him his weight. Ben is surprised. He did not know he was so heavy.
+
+They switch places. Lila sits on the scale. Ben looks at the needle. He tells her her weight. Lila is lighter than Ben. She smiles. She does not mind. She likes being light.
+
+They hug each other. They are happy. They like playing with the scale. They like weighing things. They like being gentle and careful. They like being friends.
+Ben liked to play with blocks. He had many blocks of different colors and shapes. He could make towers, bridges, houses and cars with his blocks. He was gifted at building with blocks. He could make things that his friends could not.
+
+One day, Ben was playing with his blocks in his room. He wanted to make a big castle with a gate and a flag. He worked hard and used many blocks. He was almost done when he felt a tickle in his nose. He tried to ignore it, but it got stronger and stronger. He could not hold it in. He sneezed.
+
+His sneeze was very loud and strong. It made his blocks fly everywhere. His castle fell down and broke. His blocks hit the wall, the floor, the bed and the door. Some blocks even hit his nose and made it hurt. Ben was sad and angry. He cried.
+
+His mom heard his sneeze and his cry. She came to his room and saw the mess. She asked him what happened. Ben told her he sneezed and ruined his castle. He said he was sorry. His mom hugged him and said it was okay. She said sneezes happen and they are not his fault. She said he could build another castle later. She helped him pick up his blocks and put them in a box. She kissed his nose and said he was gifted and she loved him. Ben felt better. He smiled and said he loved her too. He said he would make a new castle tomorrow. He said he hoped he would not sneeze again.
+Anna liked to sing. She sang all the time. She sang at home, at school, and in the park. She sang loud and high and low and soft. She sang happy songs and sad songs and funny songs. She sang her own songs and songs she heard on the radio. She sang because singing made her feel good.
+
+One day, Anna's mom took her to a big building. She said they were going to see an opera. Anna did not know what an opera was. She asked her mom. Her mom said an opera was a story that people sang instead of talking. Anna thought that sounded fun. She wanted to see an opera.
+
+They went inside the big building. They found their seats. They waited for the opera to start. Anna looked around. She saw many people. They wore nice clothes and shiny shoes. They talked in low voices. They looked excited. Anna felt excited too.
+
+The lights went down. The curtain went up. The opera began. Anna saw people on the stage. They wore costumes and makeup. They sang with big voices. They sang in a language Anna did not understand. They sang about love and war and magic and death. They sang with music and emotion. Anna was amazed. She had never heard anything like it. She thought it was unique.
+
+Anna watched and listened. She held her mom's hand. She felt her mom's warmth and love. She felt happy. She felt like singing too. She whispered to her mom, "Mom, can I sing an opera too?" Her mom smiled and kissed her head. She said, "Of course you can, my sweet Anna. You can sing anything you want. You have a unique voice and a unique heart. And I love you very much." Anna smiled back. She said, "I love you too, mom. And I love opera." They hugged and watched the opera together. They felt the music in their souls. They felt the joy of singing.
+Anna and Ben were going to the park with Mom. They packed some snacks and drinks in a cooler. Anna liked the cooler because it had a zip that made a funny sound when she opened and closed it.
+
+At the park, they saw a big slide. Ben wanted to try it, but Anna was fearful. She thought the slide was too high and fast. She stayed with Mom and watched Ben go up and down the slide. He looked happy and brave.
+
+Anna wanted to be brave too, but she was still fearful. She played with the cooler instead. She opened and closed the zip and made funny sounds. She pretended the cooler was a spaceship and she was an astronaut.
+
+Then she saw a squirrel. The squirrel was curious and came closer to the cooler. Anna was surprised and scared. She thought the squirrel wanted to take her snacks and drinks. She closed the zip and hugged the cooler.
+
+Mom saw Anna and the squirrel. She smiled and said, "Don't worry, Anna. The squirrel is not going to hurt you or your cooler. He is just looking for some nuts. Why don't you share some of your snacks with him? Maybe he will be your friend."
+
+Anna listened to Mom and felt less fearful. She opened the zip and took out a cracker. She broke it in half and gave one piece to the squirrel. The squirrel took it and nibbled it. He looked happy and friendly.
+
+Anna smiled and said, "Hi, squirrel. I'm Anna. Do you want to play with me and my cooler?"
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys. One day, Anna has a new toy. It is a box with many colors and shapes. She wants to show Ben her toy.
+
+"Look, Ben, this is my new toy. It is a box. You can open it and see what is inside. It is fun!" Anna says.
+
+Ben is curious. He goes to Anna and looks at the box. He sees red, blue, yellow and green shapes. He sees circles, squares, triangles and stars. He likes the box.
+
+"Wow, Anna, your box is great! Can I play with it too?" Ben asks.
+
+"Sure, Ben, you can play with it. We can share the box. Let's open it and see what we can do with the shapes. Maybe we can make a picture or a tower or a train. What do you want to do?" Anna says.
+
+Ben thinks for a moment. He has an idea.
+
+"I want to make a display with the shapes. We can put them on the table and make a pattern. We can use the circles for the sun, the squares for the houses, the triangles for the roofs and the stars for the sky. It will be pretty. Do you like my idea?" Ben says.
+
+Anna nods. She likes Ben's idea. She thinks it is creative.
+
+"I like your idea, Ben. It is a good idea. Let's make a display with the shapes. It will be fun!" Anna says.
+
+They open the box and take out the shapes. They work together and make a display on the table. They use the colors and the shapes to make a picture of a sunny day. They are happy and proud of their display. They smile and hug each other. They are good friends.
+Mia and Leo were playing with their toys in the living room. Mia had a microphone that she liked to sing with. Leo had a truck that he liked to drive around. They were having fun and making noise.
+
+Suddenly, Mia felt a tickle in her nose. She tried to hold it in, but she could not. She sneezed very loud into the microphone. The sound was so loud that it made Leo jump and drop his truck. The truck broke into pieces on the floor.
+
+"Oh no, Mia, you broke my truck!" Leo cried. He was very sad and angry.
+
+"I'm sorry, Leo, I didn't mean to sneeze so loud. I couldn't help it." Mia said. She was sorry and scared.
+
+"It's okay, Mia, I know you didn't do it on purpose. But my truck was very delicate. It was my favorite toy." Leo said. He was still sad, but not so angry.
+
+"Maybe we can fix it, Leo. Let's try to put the pieces back together." Mia said. She wanted to make Leo happy again.
+
+"Okay, Mia, let's try. But we have to be careful. And maybe you should put the microphone away. It's too loud for sneezing." Leo said. He smiled a little.
+
+"Okay, Leo, I will. And maybe you should get a tissue for your nose. It's too wet for playing." Mia said. She smiled back.
+
+They put the microphone away and got a tissue. Then they tried to fix the truck. They worked together and had fun. They were friends again.
+Jill and Tom liked to bake with Mom. They helped her mix the flour, the eggs, and the sugar in a big bowl. Then they poured the batter into a round pan and put it in the oven. Mom said they had to wait for a long time until the cake was ready.
+
+While they waited, Jill and Tom played with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of fun with their cars, their dolls, and their blocks. But they also wanted to see the cake. They asked Mom how long it would take. Mom said, "Not much longer, but you have to be patient. The cake will be very big and yummy."
+
+Jill and Tom nodded, but they were very curious. They decided to sneak a peek at the cake. They tiptoed to the kitchen and opened the oven door. But they were surprised by what they saw. The cake had grown so much that it filled the whole oven. It was a giant cake!
+
+"Wow!" Jill said. "Look at that!"
+
+"Uh-oh!" Tom said. "We made a mess!"
+
+Mom heard them and came to the kitchen. She saw the giant cake and the oven door open. She was not happy. She said, "What did you do? You should not open the oven when the cake is baking. You made the cake rise too much. Now we have to clean the oven and make a new cake."
+
+Jill and Tom felt sorry. They said, "We're sorry, Mom. We just wanted to see the cake. We didn't know it would be so big."
+
+Mom sighed. She said, "It's okay. I know you were excited. But next time, you have to listen to me and wait until the cake is done. Then we can enjoy it together. Now, let's get a mop and a bucket and clean this up."
+
+Jill and Tom helped Mom clean the oven and the kitchen. They learned their lesson. They never opened the oven again when they baked a cake. They waited until Mom said it was ready. And they always shared the cake with Mom and each other. They loved to bake with Mom.
+Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play in the kitchen. They had many toys, but they also liked to open the cupboards and see what was inside. Sometimes they found pots and pans, sometimes they found cookies and crackers, and sometimes they found things they did not know.
+
+One day, they opened a cupboard and saw a big glass jar. It was shiny and had a lid with a handle. Anna wanted to hold it and see what was inside. She reached for it, but Ben pushed her away. He said, "No, it is mine! I saw it first!" He grabbed the jar and pulled it out of the cupboard.
+
+Anna was sad and angry. She said, "That is rude! You have to share! Give it to me!" She tried to take the jar from Ben, but he held it tight. They both pulled and tugged, and the jar slipped from their hands. It fell to the floor and broke into many pieces. The jar was full of honey, and it spilled all over the floor and their clothes.
+
+Anna and Ben were shocked and scared. They heard their mom coming. They knew they were in trouble. They looked at each other and felt sorry. They said, "We are sorry. We were rude. We should have shared." They hugged each other and waited for their mom.
+
+Their mom came and saw the mess. She was not happy. She said, "What did you do? You broke the jar and wasted the honey. You made a big mess and you could have hurt yourselves. Why did you do that?" Anna and Ben told her what happened. They said, "We are sorry, mom. We were rude. We should have shared. We learned our lesson. Can you forgive us?" Their mom sighed and said, "I forgive you, but you have to clean up the mess and help me make more honey. And next time, be careful and kind when you play in the kitchen." Anna and Ben nodded and said, "Yes, mom. We will. Thank you, mom." They helped their mom clean up the mess and make more honey. They learned to share and be polite. They never fought over the jar again.
+Lily liked to look at the reindeer in the park. They had big horns and soft fur. They ran and played with each other. Lily wanted to be friends with them.
+
+One day, she saw a reindeer that was different. He had a red nose that shone like a star. The other reindeer did not like him. They laughed at him and called him names. They did not let him join their games.
+
+Lily felt sad for the different reindeer. She walked up to him and said hello. The reindeer looked at her and smiled. He said his name was Rudy. Lily said her name was Lily. She told him she liked his nose. She said it was pretty and bright.
+
+Rudy was happy to meet Lily. He thanked her for being nice to him. He asked her if she wanted to play with him. Lily said yes. She took his hoof and they ran to the slide. They had fun together.
+
+The other reindeer saw Lily and Rudy. They stopped laughing and calling names. They saw that Rudy was not so different after all. He was just a reindeer who wanted to have friends. They felt sorry for being mean to him. They walked up to him and said sorry. They asked him if they could play with him too.
+
+Rudy was surprised and glad. He said yes. He introduced them to Lily. They all became friends. They played and shared and had a good time.
+
+Lily and Rudy were happy. They smiled and laughed. They did not frown anymore. They learned that being different was not bad. It was special and good. They learned that being kind and friendly was the best way to make friends. They learned that reindeer and people could be friends too.
+Lila and Ben were twins who liked to explore. One day, they found a big hill near their house. They wanted to see what was on the other side. They put on their hats and boots and took their backpacks. They said goodbye to their mom and dad and started to climb.
+
+The hill was steep and rocky. They had to hold hands and help each other. They saw some birds and flowers and bugs. They also saw some cows and sheep in a field. They said hello to them and kept going. They were having fun.
+
+When they reached the top, they saw a new landscape. There were more hills and trees and a river. They also saw a small house with smoke coming out of the chimney. They wondered who lived there. They decided to go and find out.
+
+They walked down the hill and crossed the river. They knocked on the door of the house. A woman opened it and smiled. She had gray hair and a kind face. She said, "Hello, children. Who are you and where are you from?"
+
+Lila and Ben told her their names and where they lived. They said they were exploring and wanted to see the other side of the hill. The woman said, "Well, you are very brave and curious. I'm glad you came to visit me. I live here alone and don't get many visitors. My name is Rose and this is my home. I settled here many years ago when I was young. I like the quiet and the nature. Do you want to come in and have some tea and cookies?"
+
+Lila and Ben nodded. They liked Rose and her house. It was cozy and warm. It had a fireplace and a rocking chair and a lot of books. They followed her inside and sat on the couch. They had tea and cookies and talked to Rose. They told her about their family and their school and their hobbies. She told them about her life and her stories and her wisdom. They learned a lot from her and laughed a lot with her. They felt like they had made a new friend.
+
+They stayed with Rose for a while and then said they had to go back. They thanked her for her hospitality and kindness. She hugged them and gave them a gift. It was a book of fairy tales. She said, "This is for you to remember me and our time together. I hope you come back and see me again. You are always welcome here. You are my regular guests now."
+
+Lila and Ben smiled and said they would come back. They waved goodbye to Rose and left her house. They crossed the river and climbed the hill. They saw their house and their mom and dad waiting for them. They ran to them and hugged them. They told them about their adventure and their new friend. They showed them the book and said they wanted to read it with them. They were happy and tired. They had a wonderful day.
+Anna likes to rock on her chair. She rocks back and forth, back and forth, with a big smile. She likes to feel the wind on her face and the sun on her hair.
+
+But today, Anna has to stop rocking. She has to sit still and listen to her tutor. Her tutor is a nice lady who helps Anna learn new words and numbers. Anna likes her tutor, but she likes rocking more.
+
+"Anna, can you look at this book with me?" her tutor asks. She holds a book with colorful pictures and letters. "Can you tell me what this is?"
+
+Anna looks at the book. She sees a red apple. She knows what it is. She says, "Apple!"
+
+"Very good, Anna!" her tutor says. "And what sound does apple start with?"
+
+Anna thinks hard. She remembers the sound. She says, "Aa!"
+
+"Excellent, Anna!" her tutor says. "You are very smart. Do you want a sticker?"
+
+Anna nods. She likes stickers. Her tutor gives her a shiny star sticker. Anna puts it on her shirt. She feels proud.
+
+"Can we rock now?" Anna asks.
+
+Her tutor laughs. She says, "Okay, Anna. You can rock for a little while. But then we have to read some more, okay?"
+
+Anna agrees. She says, "Okay." She rocks on her chair again. She rocks back and forth, back and forth, with a big smile. She likes to learn new things, but she also likes to have fun.
+
+Soon, her tutor joins her. She rocks on another chair next to Anna. They rock together, and they talk about the book. They also talk about other things, like animals and colors and shapes. Anna likes her tutor. She thinks she is very nice and fun.
+
+After a while, Anna's mom comes home. She sees Anna and her tutor rocking and talking. She smiles. She says, "Hello, Anna. Hello, tutor. How was your day?"
+
+Anna and her tutor stop rocking. They say, "Hello, mom." They tell her what they did and what they learned.
+
+Anna's mom says, "I'm very proud of you, Anna. You are working hard and having fun. And I have a surprise for you. I made your favorite cake. Do you want some?"
+
+Anna's eyes light up. She loves cake. She says, "Yes, please!"
+
+Anna's mom says, "Okay, then. Let's go to the kitchen. You can have some cake, and you can share some with your tutor. She deserves a treat, too."
+
+Anna and her tutor follow Anna's mom to the kitchen. They see a big cake with frosting and sprinkles. It looks delicious. They say, "Wow!"
+
+Anna's mom cuts a slice for Anna and a slice for her tutor. She gives them plates and forks. She says, "Enjoy!"
+
+Anna and her tutor say, "Thank you!" They eat the cake. It tastes delicious. They say, "Yum!"
+
+Anna and her tutor are happy. They had a good day. They learned, they rocked, and they ate cake. They think life is good.
+Tom and Mia like to play in the park. They like to slide, swing and run. But Tom's favorite thing is to climb the pole. He can go very high and see everything.
+
+One day, Tom wants to show Mia how high he can climb. He runs to the pole and grabs it with his hands. He starts to go up, up, up. Mia watches him and claps.
+
+But then, Tom feels something wet on his hands. He looks and sees a bird has pooped on the pole. He feels icky and nervous. He wants to go down, but he is too high. He starts to cry.
+
+Mia hears him and runs to him. She says, "Don't cry, Tom. I will help you." She finds a leaf and wipes the poop off the pole. She says, "Now, hold the pole tight and slide down slowly. I will catch you."
+
+Tom does what Mia says. He holds the pole tight and slides down slowly. Mia catches him and hugs him. He says, "Thank you, Mia. You are a good friend." Mia says, "You are welcome, Tom. You are brave." They smile and go to play some more.
+Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play together every day. They had many toys, but their favorite was the enormous ball. The ball was bigger than them. It was red and blue and had stars on it.
+
+One day, they took the ball to the park. They wanted to roll it, kick it, and bounce it. They had a lot of fun. But then they saw a big hill. They had an urge to push the ball down the hill. They thought it would be exciting.
+
+"Let's do it!" Lily said.
+
+"OK!" Ben said.
+
+They ran to the top of the hill. They pushed the ball with all their might. The ball started to roll down the hill. It went faster and faster. It made a loud noise.
+
+"Wow!" Lily and Ben shouted.
+
+But then they saw something scary. The ball was heading towards a pond. There were ducks and frogs in the pond. They did not want the ball to hit them. They did not want the ball to get wet.
+
+"Stop!" Lily and Ben cried.
+
+They ran after the ball. They tried to catch it. But they were too late. The ball reached the edge of the pond. It splashed into the water. It made a big wave. The ducks and frogs quacked and croaked. They were angry and scared.
+
+"Oh no!" Lily and Ben said.
+
+They felt sorry. They did not mean to hurt the animals. They did not mean to lose their ball. They wished they had not pushed it down the hill. They learned a lesson. They decided to be more careful next time. They hoped the ball would float back to them. They hoped the ducks and frogs would forgive them. They hugged each other. They were still best friends.
+Tom was a little boy who liked to whistle. He whistled when he played, when he ate, and when he slept. He whistled so much that his mom and dad sometimes asked him to be quiet.
+
+One day, Tom's mom had to go to a meeting. She told Tom to stay with his grandma, who lived next door. Tom liked his grandma, but he was restless. He wanted to go with his mom and see the meeting.
+
+He whistled to his grandma and asked her if he could go. She shook her head and said no. She said the meeting was for grown-ups only, and that he had to stay with her. She gave him some toys and books to play with, but Tom was not interested. He wanted to whistle and see the meeting.
+
+He waited until his grandma was busy in the kitchen, and then he sneaked out of the house. He ran to the street, where he saw his mom's car. He followed the car, whistling all the way, until he reached a big building. He saw his mom go inside, and he followed her.
+
+He whistled as he walked through the halls, looking for his mom. He saw many people in suits and dresses, who looked at him with surprise. He did not care. He wanted to see his mom and the meeting.
+
+He finally found the door where his mom was. He opened it and whistled loudly. He saw his mom and many other people sitting around a table, talking. They all stopped and looked at him with shock. His mom jumped up and ran to him. She hugged him and asked him what he was doing there. He whistled and said he wanted to see the meeting.
+
+His mom smiled and shook her head. She said he was a very naughty boy, but also a very brave boy. She said he could stay for a few minutes, but then he had to go back to his grandma. She said she was sorry to the other people, who smiled and nodded. They said he was a very cute boy, and a very good whistler. Tom was happy. He whistled and watched the meeting. He thought it was very boring, but he liked to be with his mom. He decided he would whistle more quietly next time.
+One day, a child went to the park with his mom. He saw a big bird on a tree. He wanted to talk to the bird, so he tried to whistle. But he did not know how to whistle. He only made a funny sound with his mouth.
+
+"Hello, bird! Can you whistle?" he asked.
+
+The bird looked at him and whistled loudly. The child was amazed. He tried to copy the bird, but he still could not whistle.
+
+"Can you teach me how to whistle, bird?" he begged.
+
+The bird flew down and landed on his shoulder. He whispered something in his ear. The child listened carefully. Then he opened his mouth and whistled for the first time. He was so happy. He whistled again and again.
+
+"Thank you, bird! You are a good friend!" he said.
+
+The bird nodded and whistled back. Then he flew away. The child ran to his mom and showed her his new skill. His mom smiled and hugged him.
+
+"You are a clever child! I am proud of you!" she said.
+
+The child whistled some more. He liked the sound. He felt warm and happy. He did not mind the bitter wind that blew in the park. He had a new friend and a new skill. He had a good day.
+Tom is a cat. He has a long, black tail. He likes to play with his tail. He chases it, bites it, and swings it. He thinks his tail is the best thing ever.
+
+One day, he sees a mouse. The mouse has a short, gray tail. Tom wants to catch the mouse. He runs after it, but the mouse is fast. The mouse runs into a hole. Tom is sad. He cannot fit in the hole.
+
+He has an idea. He asks the mouse, "Can I borrow your tail? My tail is too big. I want to go in the hole and play with you."
+
+The mouse is not stupid. He knows Tom wants to eat him. He says, "No, you cannot borrow my tail. Your tail is fine. Go away and leave me alone."
+
+Tom is angry. He tries to pull the mouse's tail out of the hole. But the mouse is smart. He bites Tom's paw. Tom yelps and lets go. He runs away, licking his paw. He thinks the mouse is mean. He does not want to borrow his tail anymore. He likes his own tail better. He plays with his tail and forgets about the mouse.
+Sam and Lily were playing with a rope in the park. They liked to bounce the rope and jump over it. They took turns to hold the rope and jump. Sam was good at jumping. He could jump very high and fast. Lily was not so good. She was afraid of falling and hurting herself.
+
+"Come on, Lily, jump!" Sam said. "It's fun!"
+
+"I don't want to," Lily said. "It's too hard."
+
+Sam got angry. He wanted Lily to play with him. He thought Lily was silly and scared. He pulled the rope hard and made Lily trip. Lily fell on the ground and scraped her knee. She cried out loud.
+
+"Ha ha, you can't jump!" Sam said. "You're a baby!"
+
+Lily felt ashamed. She felt pain in her knee and in her heart. She wanted Sam to be nice to her. She wanted to be his friend. But Sam was mean and rude. He laughed at her and ran away.
+
+Lily was alone in the park. She wished she had someone to help her and hug her. She wished she had a better friend than Sam. She wished she had never played with the rope. She wished she could bounce away from her sadness.
+Lily was a girl who liked to demand things. She always wanted the best object in the room. She did not like to share or wait for her turn. She thought she was the most important person in the world.
+
+One day, she went to the park with her mom and saw a big, high slide. She ran to the slide and pushed the other kids away. She climbed to the top and shouted, "This is my slide! No one else can use it!"
+
+The other kids were sad and angry. They tried to tell Lily to be nice and let them have a turn, but Lily did not listen. She just laughed and slid down again and again.
+
+But then, something bad happened. Lily slid down too fast and hit her head on the ground. She felt a lot of pain and started to cry. Her mom ran to her and picked her up. She saw that Lily had a big bump on her head and blood on her face.
+
+She took Lily to the hospital, where the doctor said she had to stay for a few days. Lily was scared and sorry. She wished she had been kind and shared the slide with the other kids. She learned that being selfish and demanding can hurt you and others. She decided to be a better girl from then on.
+Lily and Sam are friends. They like to play in the pool. The pool is big and blue. They splash and swim and have fun.
+
+One day, they see a new toy in the pool. It is a big yellow duck. It has a red hat and a green scarf. Lily and Sam want to play with the duck.
+
+"Hello, duck!" Lily says. "Can we play with you?"
+
+The duck does not say anything. It just floats on the water.
+
+"Maybe it is shy," Sam says. "Let's be nice to it."
+
+Lily and Sam swim closer to the duck. They smile and wave. They touch the duck gently.
+
+But the duck does not like it. It opens its mouth and roars. It is a loud and scary roar. It sounds like a lion.
+
+Lily and Sam are surprised and scared. They swim away from the duck. They go to the edge of the pool.
+
+"What is that?" Lily asks. "That is not a duck. That is a monster!"
+
+"I don't know," Sam says. "But it is not nice. It is mean and rude."
+
+They look at the duck. The duck roars again. It chases them in the pool. It is fast and angry.
+
+Lily and Sam are not happy. They want to play in the pool. But they do not want to play with the monster duck.
+
+They call for help. They shout and cry.
+
+"Help! Help! There is a monster duck in the pool! It roars and bites! It is not a toy! It is a trap!"

+Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play pretend. Today, they pretend to work in an office. They use a big box as a desk. They have paper, pens, and a phone.
+
+"Hello, this is Sara from the office. How can I help you?" Sara says into the phone. She makes a serious face.
+
+"Hi, this is Ben from the office. I need to talk to you about the report. Can you come to my office?" Ben says into the phone. He makes a serious face too.
+
+"Okay, I will be right there," Sara says. She hangs up the phone and walks to Ben's office. Ben's office is another big box next to Sara's office.
+
+"Hello, Ben. What is the problem with the report?" Sara asks.
+
+"The problem is that it tastes bad," Ben says. He shows Sara a piece of paper with crayon drawings on it. He bites the paper and makes a yucky face.
+
+"Ben, you are not supposed to taste the report. You are supposed to write the report," Sara says. She shakes her head.
+
+"But it looks like candy. It has red and blue and yellow and green," Ben says. He points to the crayon colors.
+
+"Those are not candy. Those are crayons. Crayons are for drawing, not for eating. Candy is sweet and yummy. Crayons are hard and gray and yucky," Sara says. She takes the paper from Ben and puts it in the trash.
+
+"Sorry, Sara. I did not know. Can we have some real candy now?" Ben asks. He looks sad.
+
+"Sure, Ben. Let's go to the kitchen and ask Mom for some candy. But first, we have to clean up our office. We have to put the boxes, the paper, the pens, and the phone away," Sara says. She smiles.
+
+"Okay, Sara. Let's clean up our office. Then we can have some candy. Maybe Mom has some chocolate. I like chocolate. Chocolate tastes good," Ben says. He smiles too.
+
+They clean up their office and go to the kitchen. Mom gives them some chocolate and hugs them. They say thank you and eat their candy. They are happy. They like to play pretend. They like to work in an office. But they do not like to taste the report.
+Tom is a dog who likes to play with his friends. He has a big bone that he found in the park. He is very happy with his bone and does not want to share it with anyone.
+
+One day, he meets a new dog named Sam. Sam is very friendly and wants to play with Tom. He sees Tom's bone and asks, "Can I have a bite of your bone? I am very hungry and I have no bone of my own."
+
+Tom does not trust Sam. He thinks Sam wants to take his bone away. He growls and says, "No, this is my bone. Go away and find your own bone."
+
+Sam feels sad and says, "That is not fair. You have a big bone and I have nothing. You are not a good friend. You are a mean dog."
+
+Tom does not care. He turns his back on Sam and chews his bone. He thinks he is very smart and lucky.
+
+But then, he hears a loud bark. He looks up and sees a big dog named Rex. Rex is very strong and scary. He wants Tom's bone too. He runs towards Tom and says, "Give me your bone or I will bite you. You are a small and weak dog. You cannot stop me."
+
+Tom is very afraid. He tries to run away with his bone, but Rex is faster and catches him. He snatches the bone from Tom and says, "Ha ha, this is my bone now. You are a silly and greedy dog. You should have shared your bone with Sam. He is a nice and friendly dog. He would have helped you against me."
+
+Tom feels sorry and ashamed. He wishes he had been kinder to Sam. He realizes he was wrong and selfish. He looks for Sam and says, "Sam, I am sorry. I was mean to you. I should have shared my bone with you. You were right. It is not fair to keep all the bone for myself. Can you forgive me? Can we be friends?"
+
+Sam hears Tom and smiles. He says, "Of course, I forgive you. And yes, we can be friends. I am glad you learned your lesson. Come, let us play together. Maybe we can find another bone to share."
+
+Tom and Sam run and play happily. They trust each other and share everything. They are good friends. Rex sees them and feels lonely. He has a big bone, but he has no friends. He thinks maybe he should be nicer too. He wonders if Tom and Sam would let him join them. He decides to try. He walks towards them and says, "Hello, can I play with you? I am sorry for taking your bone. I was rude and greedy. I will give it back to you. Can you forgive me? Can we be friends?"
+
+Tom and Sam are surprised and curious. They look at Rex and say, "Really? You mean it? You want to be our friend?"
+
+Rex nods and says, "Yes, I do. I am tired of being alone and mean. I want to be happy and nice. Please, give me a chance."
+
+Tom and Sam think for a moment. They remember how they felt when they were angry and scared. They remember how they felt when they were sorry and kind. They decide to give Rex a chance. They say, "Okay, we forgive you. And yes, we can be friends. Come, let us play together. Maybe we can share the bone too."
+
+Rex is very happy and grateful. He gives the bone back to Tom and Sam. They thank him and invite him to join them. They run and play happily. They trust each other and share everything. They are good friends. They have a big bone, but they have something more important. They have each other.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They saw a big dog with a dull coat and a long tail. The dog was lying on the grass, but it looked angry.
+
+"Let's go and pet the dog," Tom said. He liked dogs and wanted to make friends with it.
+
+"No, Tom, don't!" Lily warned. She was afraid of the dog and remembered what her mom had told her. "Some dogs are not nice. They can bite you with their sharp teeth. You have to ask the owner first."
+
+But Tom did not listen to Lily. He ran towards the dog and reached out his hand. The dog growled and showed its teeth. It opened its mouth and snapped at Tom's hand.
+
+"Ow!" Tom cried. He pulled back his hand and saw blood. He was hurt and scared. He ran back to Lily and hugged her.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily," he said. "You were right. The dog was not nice. It bit me."
+
+Lily felt sorry for Tom. She took out a tissue from her pocket and wrapped it around his hand. She helped him walk to the bench where their mom was sitting.
+
+"Mom, mom, look!" Lily said. "The dog bit Tom. He needs a band-aid."
+
+Mom looked at Tom's hand and frowned. She was worried and angry. She took Tom and Lily to the car and drove them to the doctor.
+
+The doctor cleaned Tom's hand and put a band-aid on it. He gave Tom a sticker and a lollipop. He told Tom to be careful and not to touch strange dogs.
+
+Tom learned his lesson. He thanked the doctor and apologized to Lily and mom. He decided to listen to Lily's warnings next time. He hoped the dog would find a nice owner who would take care of it.
+Tom was a little boy who liked to play with his toys. He had a big truck, a soft bear and a shiny bell. He liked to ring the bell and make noise. He also liked to eat yummy snacks, like cookies and grapes.
+
+One day, his mom told him it was time to take a nap. Tom did not want to nap. He wanted to play and eat more snacks. He said, "No, no, no!" and ran to his room. He took his bell and hid under his bed. He thought his mom would not find him there.
+
+But his mom was smart. She knew where Tom was. She followed him to his room and looked under the bed. She saw Tom and his bell. She said, "Tom, I see you. Come out and nap. You need to rest your eyes and your ears. You can play and eat later."
+
+Tom did not listen. He shook his bell and said, "No, no, no!" He tried to resist his mom. He thought his bell would make his mom go away. But his mom did not go away. She reached under the bed and took his bell. She said, "Tom, this is not nice. You have to nap. Give me your bell. You can have it back when you wake up."
+
+Tom was sad. He loved his bell. He did not want to give it up. But he knew his mom was right. He was tired and hungry. He crawled out from under the bed and gave his mom his bell. He said, "Sorry, mom. I nap now. I love you." His mom smiled and hugged him. She said, "I love you too, Tom. You are a good boy. Now, let's go to your bed and nap. I have a yummy snack for you when you wake up." Tom nodded and followed his mom. He lay down on his bed and closed his eyes. He dreamed of his bell and his snack. He was happy.
+Tim and Lily were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and run after it. Sometimes they missed the ball and it rolled away. They laughed and chased the ball.
+
+One day, they saw something new in the park. It was a big animal with long legs and a long tail. It had brown fur and big ears. It was a kangaroo! The kangaroo was jumping around the grass. It looked happy and curious.
+
+"Wow, look at that!" Tim said. "What is it?"
+

+
+They ran towards the kangaroo with their ball. The kangaroo saw them and stopped jumping. It looked at them with its big eyes. It seemed friendly.
+
+"Hello, kangaroo!" Tim said. "Do you want to play with us?"
+
+He threw the ball to the kangaroo. The kangaroo caught the ball with its paws. It bounced the ball with its nose. It threw the ball back to Tim. Tim and Lily clapped and cheered.
+
+"Yay, kangaroo!" Lily said. "You are good at playing ball!"
+
+They played with the kangaroo for a while. They had fun. The kangaroo liked them too. It made noises like "boing, boing, boing".
+
+Suddenly, they heard a loud voice. It was the zookeeper. He had been looking for the kangaroo. He had a net and a leash. He was angry.
+
+"Hey, you kids!" he shouted. "Get away from that kangaroo! It escaped from the zoo! It's dangerous!"
+
+Tim and Lily were scared. They dropped the ball and ran away. The kangaroo was surprised. It did not want to go back to the zoo. It liked the park and the kids. It tried to run away too. But the zookeeper was faster. He threw the net over the kangaroo. He put the leash around its neck. He dragged the kangaroo to his truck.
+
+"Sorry, kangaroo," Tim said. "We didn't know you were from the zoo. We hope you are okay."
+
+"Bye, kangaroo," Lily said. "We will miss you. You were fun to play with."
+
+The kangaroo looked at them with its sad eyes. It made a noise like "aww, aww, aww". It waved its paw at them. It was embarrassed. It wished it could stay with them. But it had to go back to the zoo. It hoped to see them again.
+Sam and Lily like to play in the backyard. They have a big grill that their dad uses to make food. Sometimes they pretend to be chefs and make their own food with toys and leaves.
+
+One day, they find a smooth stone near the grill. It is round and shiny and feels nice in their hands. They wonder what it is and where it came from.
+
+"Maybe it is a magic stone," Sam says. "Maybe it can make wishes come true."
+
+"Really?" Lily says. "What would you wish for?"
+
+Sam thinks for a moment. He likes cars and trucks and planes. He says, "I would wish for a big red car that I can drive around the yard."
+
+Lily thinks for a moment. She likes dolls and flowers and books. She says, "I would wish for a pretty pink dress that I can wear to a tea party."
+
+They take turns holding the stone and making their wishes. They close their eyes and say their wishes out loud. They hope the stone will hear them and make them come true.
+
+But nothing happens. The stone is still just a stone. Sam and Lily feel sad and disappointed. They wonder why the stone did not work.
+
+"Maybe it is not a magic stone," Sam says. "Maybe it is just a rock."
+
+"Maybe we need to do something else," Lily says. "Maybe we need to put it on the grill."
+
+They decide to try it. They put the stone on the grill and wait. They hope the grill will make the stone hot and sparkly and magic.
+
+But nothing happens. The stone is still just a stone. Sam and Lily feel more sad and disappointed. They wonder why the grill did not work.
+
+"Maybe it is not a grill," Sam says. "Maybe it is just a box."
+
+"Maybe we need to do something else," Lily says. "Maybe we need to give it a hug."
+
+They decide to try it. They take the stone off the grill and hug it. They hope the hug will make the stone warm and happy and magic.
+
+But nothing happens. The stone is still just a stone. Sam and Lily feel very sad and disappointed. They wonder why nothing works.
+
+"Maybe we are silly," Sam says. "Maybe there is no such thing as magic."
+
+"Maybe we are silly," Lily says. "But maybe we do not need magic."
+
+They look at each other and smile. They realize they have each other and they have fun. They do not need a car or a dress or a stone to be happy.
+
+They put the stone back where they found it and go back to playing. They pretend to be chefs and make their own food with toys and leaves. They laugh and talk and share. They are happy. They have magic.

+
+Her mom looked at the pots and saw the soil. She explained to Lily that soil was not food for plants. It was where plants lived and got some things they needed. But too much soil could hurt them. She said Lily was impatient and wanted her plants to grow too quickly.
+

+He knocks on Sue's door and shows her his bag of water. Sue smiles and hugs him. She says, "Thank you, Tom, for bringing me water. I was very thirsty. Water is good for me and for the plants and for the animals. Water is also fun and cool. Do you want to play with me and the water?"
+
+Tom feels happy again. He says, "Yes, Sue, I want to play with you and the water. Water is also nice. Maybe we can make more ice cubes later, when it is not so sunny and warm."

+Ben felt a big lump in his throat. He wanted to cry, but he tried to be brave. He said, "Maybe we can write letters to each other. Or talk on the phone. Or send pictures."
+
+Lily smiled and said, "Maybe. But it won't be the same. I will miss your voice, your face, your laugh. I will miss playing with you."
+
+They said goodbye and Lily got in the car with her parents. Ben watched the car drive away until it disappeared. He felt very lonely. He wished Lily was still here. He wished he could play with her again.

+Lily and Ben are playing with a ball in the park. They like to kick the ball to each other and see how far it goes. Sometimes they kick the ball too hard and it goes out of the park. Then they have to run and get it back.
+
+One day, they kick the ball and it makes a loud sound. They look and see that the ball has hit a big window. The window is broken and there are pieces of glass on the ground. Lily and Ben are scared. They think that someone will be angry with them.

+
+Then they see a dog. The dog is big and brown. It has a collar with a name tag. The name tag says, "Rex". The dog comes out of the house and runs to the ball. It picks up the ball with its mouth and brings it to Lily and Ben. It wags its tail and looks at them with friendly eyes.
+
+The old man comes out of the house too. He sees the dog and the ball and the children. He says, "Oh, I see. It was Rex who broke my window. He loves to play with balls. He is a smart dog, but sometimes he is too playful. He does not know how to be careful."
+
+Lily and Ben feel relieved. They say, "We are sorry, sir. We did not mean to break your window. We were just playing with the ball. Can we help you fix it?" The old man smiles and says, "That is very kind of you, children. Thank you for being honest and polite. Come, let me show you my workshop. I have some tools and materials that we can use to repair the window. And maybe Rex can play with you some more. He likes to make new friends."

+Lily and Ben were playing hide and seek in the park. Lily was the seeker and Ben was the hider. Lily counted to ten and then opened her eyes. She looked around and saw many places where Ben could hide. She saw a big tree, a slide, a bench, and a fountain.

+
+Ben heard Lily cry. He felt sorry for her. He wanted to make her happy. He came out of his hiding place. He was hiding behind a big orange flower. He ran to Lily and hugged her.
+
+"I'm here, Lily!" Ben said. "Don't cry. You did a good search. But I had a good hide. Do you like my orange flower?"
+
+Lily looked at Ben and smiled. She liked his orange flower. She hugged him back.
+
+"I like your orange flower, Ben," Lily said. "But I like you more. You are my best friend. Can we play again?"
+
+Ben nodded. He was happy. He gave Lily his orange flower.
+
+"Sure, we can play again," Ben said. "But this time, you hide and I seek. And you can keep my orange flower. It will help you find a good hide."
+
+Lily and Ben laughed. They got up and ran to a new spot. They played hide and seek again. They had fun. They remained friends.
+Ben and Lily liked to play with their toys in the living room. They had many toys, like cars, dolls, blocks and books. But their favorite toy was a big, soft owl that their grandma gave them. They named the owl Hooty and hugged him every night.
+
+One day, Ben had a bad idea. He wanted to play a trick on Lily. He took Hooty and some paper and tape from the kitchen. He went to his room and wrapped Hooty with the paper and tape. He made Hooty look like a big, ugly ball. He smiled and thought Lily would be scared.
+
+He ran to the living room and said to Lily, "Look, Lily, I have a surprise for you!" He gave her the ball and waited for her to scream. But Lily did not scream. She looked at the ball and felt something soft inside. She tore the paper and tape and saw Hooty. She was very angry.
+
+"Ben, you are so mean! You made Hooty messy and hurt! How could you do this to Hooty? He is our friend!" She cried and hugged Hooty. She ran to their mom and told her what Ben did.
+
+Mom was very upset. She scolded Ben and took away his toys. She said he had to say sorry to Lily and Hooty and help clean the mess. Ben felt bad. He wished he did not play the trick. He lost his toys and his sister's love. He learned a hard lesson.
+Ben and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big green bird in a tree. The bird has a long tail and a red beak. It makes a loud sound.
+
+"Wow, look at the bird!" Ben says. "It is so green and pretty!"
+
+"Can we come closer?" Lily asks. "Maybe it will talk to us."
+
+They walk slowly to the tree. They are polite and quiet. They do not want to scare the bird. The bird looks at them with its black eyes. It makes another sound.
+
+"Hello, hello!" the bird says. "Who are you?"
+
+Ben and Lily are surprised and happy. The bird can talk!
+
+"Hello, bird!" Ben says. "We are Ben and Lily. We are friends. What is your name?"
+
+The bird flaps its wings. It smiles with its red beak.
+
+"My name is Coco," the bird says. "I am a parrot. I like to talk and sing. Do you want to be my friends?"
+
+"Yes, yes!" Ben and Lily say. "We want to be your friends. You are a very nice and smart bird."
+
+They come closer to the tree. They talk and sing with Coco. They have a lot of fun. They make a new friend. They are happy.
+Timmy was very enthusiastic about magnets. He liked to play with them and see how they stuck to things. He had a big magnet and a small magnet, and he learned how they could pull or push each other.
+
+One day, he wanted to show his friend Lily his magnets. He brought them to her house and they went to her room. He put the big magnet on her bed and the small magnet on her dresser. He said, "Look, Lily, these are magnets. They are very fun. Watch this!"
+
+He moved the small magnet closer to the big magnet. The big magnet jumped off the bed and stuck to the small magnet. Lily was surprised and laughed. She said, "Wow, Timmy, that's cool! How do they do that?"
+
+Timmy said, "They have something inside them that makes them like or not like each other. If they like each other, they pull. If they don't like each other, they push. See?" He turned the small magnet around and moved it closer to the big magnet again. This time, the big magnet moved away from the small magnet. Lily was amazed and clapped. She said, "That's awesome! Can I try?"
+
+Timmy said, "Sure, Lily, you can try. Here, take the small magnet and see what else it can stick to." He gave her the small magnet and they started to explore her room. They found that the magnet could stick to her lamp, her scissors, her necklace, and her toy car. They also found that it could not stick to her book, her doll, her pillow, and her ball. They had a lot of fun and learned a lot about magnets. They decided that magnets were their favorite toys.
+Mia loves to draw pictures with her crayons. She has many colors and she makes animals, flowers, and houses. She likes to show her pictures to her mom and dad, who say they are adorable.
+
+One day, Mia finds a new picture book on the shelf. It has big pictures of dinosaurs. Mia thinks they are cool and scary. She wants to draw them too. She takes her crayons and the book and goes to her room.
+
+She opens the book and sees a picture of a big dinosaur with sharp teeth. She thinks it is a t-rex. She tries to copy the picture on a piece of paper. She uses red for the teeth, green for the skin, and black for the eyes.
+
+She is so busy drawing that she does not hear her mom call her for lunch. She does not hear her mom warn her to not draw on the walls. She does not see her mom come into her room.
+
+She only sees her mom's face when she looks up and sees her mom's eyes. They are big and angry. Mia sees that she has drawn the t-rex on the wall, not on the paper. She has made a big mess.
+
+She drops her crayons and says, "Sorry, mom. I like dinosaurs."
+
+Her mom sighs and says, "I know, Mia. But you can't draw on the walls. That's bad. You have to use paper. And you have to listen when I call you. Do you understand?"
+
+Mia nods and says, "Yes, mom. I understand. I'm sorry."
+
+Her mom hugs her and says, "It's okay, Mia. I love you. But you have to help me clean this up. And then we can have lunch. And maybe we can find a better way to draw dinosaurs."
+
+Mia smiles and says, "Okay, mom. I love you too. And I love dinosaurs."
+Lily and Max were going to a party. They wanted to bring some toys to share with their friends. They had a lot of toys in their room, but they were all mixed up. They needed to sort them by color, shape, and size.
+
+"Let's sort the toys," Lily said. "You take the red ones and I take the blue ones."
+
+"OK," Max said. He picked up a red ball, a red car, and a red crayon. He put them in a basket.
+
+Lily picked up a blue doll, a blue book, and a blue cup. She put them in another basket.
+
+They looked at the rest of the toys. There were some yellow, green, and purple ones. There were also some big, small, and medium ones. There were some round, square, and star ones.
+
+"How do we sort these?" Max asked. He was confused.
+
+"I don't know," Lily said. She was also confused.
+
+They heard a knock on the door. It was their mom.
+
+"Are you ready for the party?" she asked.
+
+"Not yet," Lily and Max said. "We have to sort the toys."
+
+Mom looked at the toys. She smiled.
+
+"You don't have to sort them by color, shape, and size," she said. "You can sort them by what they do. Some toys make noise, some toys move, and some toys are for drawing. That's easier, right?"
+
+Lily and Max nodded. They liked that idea.
+
+They quickly sorted the toys by what they did. They put the noisy toys in one basket, the moving toys in another basket, and the drawing toys in a third basket.
+
+"Good job," Mom said. "Now you can bring the toys to the party and have fun with your friends."
+
+Lily and Max were happy. They grabbed their baskets and followed Mom to the car. They were excited for the party.
+Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play and have fun. But sometimes they do not behave. They do not listen to Mom and Dad. They do not do their tasks. They make a mess and a noise.
+
+One day, Mom and Dad have to go out. They ask Grandma to watch Tom and Lily. They tell them to be good and do their tasks. They say they will bring them a yummy cake when they come back.
+
+Tom and Lily say yes, but they do not mean it. As soon as Mom and Dad leave, they start to play and have fun. They do not do their tasks. They do not clean their room. They do not feed the fish. They do not water the plants. They do not help Grandma.
+
+Grandma tries to make them behave. She tells them to stop and do their tasks. She tells them they will not get the yummy cake if they do not behave. But Tom and Lily do not listen. They laugh and run and jump and shout.
+
+They do not see the fish die. They do not see the plants wilt. They do not see Grandma cry. They do not see Mom and Dad come back. They do not see the yummy cake. They only see Mom and Dad's angry faces. They only hear Mom and Dad's loud voices. They only feel Mom and Dad's hard hands. They only taste Mom and Dad's bitter words. They are not happy. They are sad. They are sorry. But it is too late.
+Tom and Jen were hungry. They wanted to eat some ice cream. They opened the freezer and looked inside. But they saw something disgusting. There was a big, green, smelly thing in the freezer. It looked like a monster.
+
+"Yuck!" Tom said. "What is that?"
+
+"I don't know," Jen said. "Maybe it was some food that went bad. Let's get it out of here."
+
+They grabbed the thing and pulled hard. But it was stuck to the freezer. They pulled harder and harder. Then, the thing made a loud noise. It was alive!
+
+"Help!" Tom and Jen screamed. They let go of the thing and ran away. The thing broke free from the freezer and followed them. It was angry and hungry.
+
+"Run, run, run!" Tom and Jen shouted. They ran to the living room and hid behind the couch. They hoped the thing would not find them.
+
+But the thing smelled them. It came to the living room and looked around. It saw the couch and moved closer. It opened its mouth and showed its teeth.
+
+Tom and Jen were very scared. They wished their mom and dad were home. They wished they never opened the freezer. They wished they never saw the disgusting thing.
+Sara was hungry. She wanted a snack. She went to the kitchen and saw the freezer. She knew there was ice cream inside. She liked ice cream. She tried to open the freezer, but it was too high. She needed help.
+
+She called her brother Tom. "Tom, Tom, can you help me?" she said. Tom was in his room. He heard Sara. He came to the kitchen. He saw Sara and the freezer. He knew what she wanted. He smiled.
+
+"Sure, Sara, I can help you. What flavor do you want?" he asked. Sara thought for a moment. She liked many flavors, but she had a favorite. She pointed to the freezer. "I want the purple one," she said. Tom nodded. He opened the freezer and took out the purple ice cream. It was grape flavor. He gave it to Sara.
+
+"Here you go, Sara. Enjoy your snack," he said. Sara was happy. She thanked Tom. She opened the ice cream and took a big spoonful. It was cold and sweet and purple. She liked it a lot. She smiled. Tom smiled too. He was a good brother. He liked to help Sara. They were a happy family.
+Anna and Ben wanted to make a cake for Mom's birthday. They had a plan. They would sneak into the kitchen when Mom was out and use the things they saw in the cookbook. They were very excited.
+
+They waited until Mom said she was going to the store. Then they ran to the kitchen and looked for the things they needed. They found flour, sugar, eggs, butter, and chocolate. They put them all in a big bowl and mixed them with a spoon. They made a big mess, but they did not care.
+
+They poured the batter into a pan and put it in the oven. They set the timer for 20 minutes. They hoped the cake would be yummy. They cleaned up the kitchen a little bit and went to the living room to wait.
+
+They heard a beep. The timer was done. They ran back to the kitchen and opened the oven. They saw a big, brown, round cake. It smelled good. They were very happy.
+
+They took the cake out of the oven and put it on the table. They looked for some candles and a plate. They heard a noise. It was Mom. She was back. They were very anxious. They hid the cake under a towel and ran to the door. They said, "Hi, Mom! We have a surprise for you!"
+Lily and Ben were playing with their blocks in the living room. They liked to build towers and bridges and houses with the wood blocks. But they did not like to tidy up when they were done.
+
+"Time to clean up, kids," Mom said. "Put the blocks back in the box, please."
+
+Lily and Ben groaned. They did not want to stop playing. They wanted to make their towers higher and higher.
+
+"No, Mom," Ben said. "We want to play more."
+
+"Yeah, more," Lily said. "We are not done yet."
+
+Mom shook her head. "You have played enough, kids. You need to tidy up now. It is not fair to leave a mess for me to clean. And you need to get ready for bed soon."
+
+Lily and Ben pouted. They did not like Mom's words. They wanted to have their way.
+
+"We demand more time, Mom," Ben said. He crossed his arms and stamped his foot.
+
+"We demand more blocks, Mom," Lily said. She grabbed a handful of blocks and threw them on the floor.
+
+Mom frowned. She did not like Lily and Ben's behavior. They were being rude and naughty.
+
+"You do not demand anything, kids," Mom said. "You ask nicely and you listen to me. That is how we show respect and love. And you do not throw blocks, Lily. That is dangerous and wasteful. You could hurt someone or break something. Now, pick up the blocks and put them in the box. Or you will have no blocks tomorrow."
+
+Lily and Ben realized they had made a mistake. They saw Mom's angry face and heard her stern voice. They felt sorry and ashamed.
+
+"Sorry, Mom," Ben said. He lowered his head and started to pick up the blocks.
+
+"Sorry, Mom," Lily said. She did the same and hugged Mom's leg.
+
+Mom smiled and hugged them back. She was glad they said sorry and did as she asked.
+
+"It's okay, kids," Mom said. "I know you like to play, but you also need to tidy up and follow the rules. That is how we keep our home nice and happy. Now, let's finish cleaning up and then we can read a story before bed. How does that sound?"
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They liked to read stories with Mom. They finished tidying up and put the blocks in the box. Then they followed Mom to their bedroom. They learned their lesson and did not demand anything again.
+Lily liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Anna. Anna had a blue dress and long hair. Lily brushed Anna's hair every day and made her look pretty.
+
+One day, Lily's brother Max came into her room. He was bored and wanted to play with Lily. But he did not like dolls. He liked cars and trucks and dinosaurs. He saw Anna on Lily's bed and grabbed her.
+
+"Give me back Anna!" Lily shouted. She ran after Max and tried to get her doll. Max laughed and ran away. He held Anna high in the air and made funny noises.
+
+Lily was angry and sad. She wanted her doll back. She saw a ball on the floor and picked it up. She threw the ball at Max as hard as she could. The ball hit Max on the head and made him drop Anna.
+
+"Ow!" Max cried. He rubbed his head and looked at Lily. Lily ran to Anna and hugged her. She checked if Anna was hurt. She saw a red mark on Anna's finger where Max had struck her.
+
+"Sorry, Anna," Lily said. She kissed Anna's finger and made it better. She looked at Max and said, "You are mean, Max. You should not strike my doll. She is modest and nice. You should say sorry to her."
+
+Max felt bad. He saw that Lily was upset and that Anna was hurt. He did not mean to strike Anna. He just wanted to play with Lily.
+
+"Sorry, Lily," Max said. He walked to Lily and Anna and said, "Sorry, Anna. I did not mean to strike you. You are modest and nice. Can I play with you and Lily?"
+
+Lily smiled. She saw that Max was sorry and that he wanted to be nice. She liked to play with Max sometimes. She said, "Okay, Max. You can play with us. But you have to be gentle with Anna. And you have to share your cars and trucks and dinosaurs."
+
+Max nodded. He said, "Okay, Lily. I will be gentle with Anna. And I will share my cars and trucks and dinosaurs. Can I brush Anna's hair?"
+
+Lily laughed. She said, "Yes, Max. You can brush Anna's hair. But you have to be careful. She likes it soft and smooth."
+
+Lily and Max played with Anna and their toys. They had fun and forgot their fight. They were happy and friendly.
+Tom and Ann are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big slide. Tom wants to go on the slide. Ann is scared.
+
+"Come on, Ann, it is fun!" Tom says. "You can bring your teddy bear. He will like it too."
+
+Ann looks at the slide. It is very high and steep. She holds her teddy bear tight. She does not want to go.
+
+"No, Tom, I do not want to go. It is too scary. Let us play on the regular side. There are swings and a sandbox."
+
+Tom is bored. He does not like the regular side. He wants to try something new. He thinks Ann is a baby.
+
+"Fine, Ann, you stay here. I will go on the slide. You will see how brave I am." Tom says. He runs to the slide. He climbs up the ladder. He sits on the top.
+
+Ann watches Tom. She feels lonely and sad. She wishes Tom would play with her. She sees Tom smile. He is ready to slide down.
+
+But then, something bad happens. Tom loses his balance. He falls off the slide. He hits his head on the ground. He cries out loud.
+
+Ann is scared. She drops her teddy bear. She runs to Tom. She sees blood on his head. She calls for help.
+
+"Tom, Tom, are you okay?" Ann says. "I am sorry, I should have gone with you. Please do not be hurt."
+
+But Tom does not answer. He is still. He does not move. He does not breathe. He is gone.
+Tom is a boy who likes to play with his toys. He has a large truck, a small car, a ball, and a teddy bear. He plays with them every day in his room. He makes noises and stories with them.
+
+One day, his mom tells him it is time for a nap. Tom does not want to nap. He wants to play more. He says no to his mom. His mom says he has to nap. She takes him to his bed and tucks him in. She says she will be back soon.
+
+Tom is not happy. He tries to stay awake. He looks at his toys on the floor. He wants to play with them. He notices his large truck. He likes his large truck. He thinks of a plan. He gets out of his bed and tiptoes to his toys. He grabs his large truck and runs back to his bed. He hides it under his blanket.
+
+He smiles and hugs his truck. He thinks he is clever. He does not hear his mom coming back. His mom opens the door and sees him in his bed. She thinks he is sleeping. She walks to his bed and kisses his forehead. She says she loves him.
+
+She feels something hard under his blanket. She lifts the blanket and sees his large truck. She is not happy. She says he is naughty. She takes his truck away and puts it on the shelf. She says he has to nap without his toys. She leaves the room and closes the door.
+
+Tom is sad and angry. He cries and kicks his bed. He does not want to nap. He wants his large truck. He thinks his mom is mean. He does not notice that he is very tired. He falls asleep crying. He has a bad nap.
+Lily likes to play with her toy box. She has many toys inside. She has dolls, cars, books, and balls. She likes to open the box and take out her toys. She likes to make stories with them.
+
+One day, Lily finds a nail in her toy box. She does not know what it is. It is long and shiny and hard. It has a pointy end and a flat end. She thinks it is a toy too. She picks it up and looks at it.
+
+She tries to play with the nail. She tries to put it on her doll's head. It does not stay. She tries to roll it with her car. It does not move. She tries to read it like a book. It does not have words. She tries to bounce it like a ball. It does not bounce. She does not like the nail. It is not a good toy.
+
+She wants to put the nail back in the toy box. But the box is closed. She tries to open it. She pushes and pulls and bangs. It does not open. She feels sad and mad. She wants her toys.
+
+She sees her mom in the kitchen. She runs to her mom. She shows her the nail. She says, "Mom, help me! I have a nail. It is not a toy. I want to put it back. But the box is closed. I can not open it. Please open it for me!"
+
+Her mom sees the nail. She is surprised and worried. She says, "Lily, where did you get this nail? This is not a toy. This is dangerous. You can hurt yourself with it. You should not play with it. Give it to me. I will put it away. And I will open the toy box for you. Come with me."
+
+She takes the nail from Lily. She puts it in a safe place. She goes to the toy box with Lily. She opens it for her. She says, "Here you go, Lily. Now you can play with your toys. But remember, do not touch the nail. It is not for you. It is for grown-ups. OK?"
+
+Lily nods. She says, "OK, mom. Thank you. I will not touch the nail. I will play with my toys. I like my toys. They are fun and nice. I love you, mom."
+
+She hugs her mom. She smiles. She takes out her toys. She makes stories with them. She is happy.

+
+"Hey, that's my doll!" Ben says. "You can't have it!"
+
+"Yes, I can!" Lily says. "I need it for my tea party!"
+
+She pulls the doll from Ben's hand. Ben gets angry. He grabs the brush from the table. He hits Lily with the brush.
+
+"Ow!" Lily cries. "That hurts!"
+
+She drops the doll and holds her arm. She feels a bump on her skin. She starts to cry louder.
+
+Mom hears the noise. She comes to the room. She sees Lily crying and Ben holding the brush.
+
+"What happened here?" Mom asks.
+
+Ben looks at Lily. He sees her bump. He feels sorry.
+
+"I hit Lily with the brush," Ben says. "I'm sorry, Lily. I'm sorry, Mom."
+
+He gives the brush to Mom. He gives the doll to Lily.
+
+Lily stops crying. She looks at Ben. She sees his sorry face.
+
+"I'm sorry, too, Ben," Lily says. "I shouldn't have taken your doll."
+
+She gives the doll back to Ben. She hugs him.
+
+Mom smiles. She hugs them both.
+
+"I'm glad you said sorry to each other," Mom says. "Saying sorry is important when you make a mistake. Now, let's put some ice on your bump, Lily. And Ben, you need to be careful with the brush. It's not a toy. It's for your hair."
+
+Lily and Ben nod. They follow Mom to the kitchen. They learn their lesson. They decide to play nicely and share their toys.
+Tommy loved his dog Spot. Spot was a big dog with black and white fur. He was very obedient and always listened to Tommy. Tommy liked to play with Spot in the park. He threw a ball and Spot ran to catch it.
+
+One day, Tommy and Spot went to the park as usual. Tommy had a new collar for Spot. It was red and shiny and had a bell on it. Tommy put the collar on Spot and said, "You look very nice, Spot. This collar will help me find you if you get lost." Spot wagged his tail and licked Tommy's face.
+
+They played for a while, until Tommy saw some other kids with bikes. He wanted to try one. He said to Spot, "Stay here, boy. I'll be back soon." He left the ball and ran to the kids. Spot watched him go.
+
+Spot was bored. He wanted to play more. He saw a squirrel in a tree. He barked and chased it. The squirrel ran away. Spot followed it. He did not see the car coming. He did not hear the horn. He only heard the bell on his collar.
+
+The car hit Spot. Spot yelped and fell. The collar broke and flew off. The driver stopped and got out. He saw Spot lying on the road. He saw the collar on the grass. He felt sorry for Spot. He picked up the collar and looked for the owner.
+
+Tommy heard the noise. He turned and saw the car and Spot. He dropped the bike and ran to Spot. He cried and hugged Spot. He said, "Spot, Spot, are you okay?" Spot opened his eyes and licked Tommy's face. He was hurt, but he was alive.
+
+The driver came to Tommy and gave him the collar. He said, "I'm sorry, kid. I didn't see your dog. He ran out of nowhere. Is he your dog?" Tommy nodded and said, "Yes, he's my dog. His name is Spot. He's very obedient. He never runs away. He must have seen a squirrel." The driver said, "Well, he's lucky. He could have been killed. You should keep him on a leash. And get him a new collar. This one is broken." Tommy said, "Thank you, mister. I will. I love Spot. He's my best friend." The driver said, "You're welcome, kid. Take care of him. He's a good dog." He got in his car and drove away.
+
+Tommy and Spot went home. Tommy's mom saw them and said, "What happened? Why is Spot bleeding? Where is his collar?" Tommy told her everything. She said, "Oh, Tommy, I'm so glad you're both okay. That was very scary. You should be more careful. Spot needs a vet. And a new collar. And a leash. Come on, let's go." She took them to the vet. The vet checked Spot and said, "He's fine. He has some bruises and cuts, but nothing serious. He'll heal soon. He's a brave dog." He gave Spot some medicine and a bandage. He said, "Here's a new collar for him. It's blue and has his name on it. And here's a leash. Use it when you go to the park. It will keep him safe." He gave them to Tommy. Tommy said, "Thank you, doctor. I will. I'm sorry, Spot. I won't leave you alone again. I'll always stay with you. You're my best friend." Spot wagged his tail and licked Tommy's face. He was happy. He liked his new collar and leash. He liked Tommy more.
+Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. They had a big yard with a swing, a slide and a sandbox. They also had a big van that their dad drove to work. Sometimes, their dad let them sit in the van and pretend to drive.
+
+One day, their dad had to go to a meeting with some wealthy people. He told Anna and Ben to stay in the house and not to touch the van. He said he would be back soon. Anna and Ben nodded, but they were bored. They wanted to play in the van.
+
+They waited for a while, but their dad did not come back. They looked out the window and saw the van parked in the driveway. They thought their dad was delayed by the meeting. They decided to sneak out and play in the van. They opened the door and climbed inside.
+
+They had fun pushing the buttons, turning the wheel and honking the horn. They did not see the key in the ignition. They did not know what it was for. They did not know that the van was on. They did not hear the engine running.
+
+They also did not see the big truck coming down the street. The truck driver did not see the van either. He was going too fast. He did not have time to stop. He crashed into the van with a loud bang.
+
+Anna and Ben were hurt very badly. They screamed and cried. Their dad heard the noise and ran outside. He saw the wreck and his children. He was very sad and angry. He wished he had not left the key in the van. He wished he had not gone to the meeting. He wished he had stayed with Anna and Ben. But it was too late. The end.
+Lily and Ben like to play with their toys. They have many toys, but their favorite is the train set. They can make the train go fast or slow, and make it stop at different stations. They also have a scale, a tool that can tell how heavy things are.
+
+One day, Lily and Ben decide to play a game with the scale. They take turns putting different toys on the scale, and see what the display shows. The display is a screen that has numbers and lights. The numbers tell how heavy the toys are, and the lights change color.
+
+"Look, Ben, this car is very heavy. The display shows 10, and the light is red," Lily says, putting a car on the scale.
+
+"Wow, that is a heavy car. Let me try this ball. The ball is very light. The display shows 2, and the light is green," Ben says, putting a ball on the scale.
+
+They keep playing with the scale, and find out that some toys are heavier or lighter than others. They also learn that the scale is a useful tool, because it can help them compare and measure things.
+
+They have fun with the scale, until their mom calls them for lunch.
+
+"Time to eat, kids. Put away your toys and come to the table," mom says.
+
+"Okay, mom. We will be right there," Lily and Ben say.
+
+They put their toys back in the box, and thank the scale for the game.
+
+"Thank you, scale. You are a useful and fun tool. We will play with you again soon," they say.
+
+They run to the table, and tell mom about their game with the scale. Mom smiles and listens to their story. She is happy that they are learning and having fun.
+Lily likes to dress up. She has many clothes in her closet. She has dresses, skirts, pants, shirts, hats, and shoes. She likes to mix and match them and make new outfits.
+
+One day, she wants to dress like a fairy. She finds a pink dress with sparkles, a pair of wings, and a wand. She puts them on and looks in the mirror. She smiles and twirls.
+
+She goes to the garden to play. She sees a butterfly and tries to catch it with her wand. She follows it to a flower. She bends down to look at it. She sees something shiny on the flower. It is a ring. It is very small, only an inch big.
+
+Lily picks up the ring and puts it on her finger. It fits perfectly. She thinks it is a magic ring. She makes a wish. She wishes she could fly like a butterfly. She waves her wand and says, "Abracadabra!"
+
+She feels a tickle on her back. She looks over her shoulder and sees her wings. They are moving. She flaps them and lifts off the ground. She is flying! She is so happy. She flies around the garden, feeling the wind and the sun. She sees the butterfly again and flies with it. She thinks the ring is very useful. She thanks the flower for giving it to her. She has a lot of fun. She is a fairy.
+Lily and Ben love to watch movies with their mom and dad. They like to gather on the big couch with pillows and blankets. They also like to eat popcorn. Mom makes popcorn in a big pot on the stove. She puts oil and salt and makes it pop.
+
+One day, they want to watch a new movie. Mom says it is about a big fish and a boy. Lily and Ben are excited. They gather on the couch and wait for the movie to start. Mom brings the popcorn and puts it in a big bowl.
+
+But when the movie starts, they see something unknown. It is not a big fish. It is a big shark. It has sharp teeth and a scary fin. It swims fast and chases the boy. Lily and Ben are scared. They hide under the blankets and hold the popcorn. They do not want to watch the movie.
+

+
+Lily and Tom were happy. They each took an apple and ate it. It was sweet and juicy. They wanted more apples. They took more and more apples from the box. They did not share with anyone else. They did not think about who the box belonged to.
+
+Soon, the box was empty. Lily and Tom had eaten all the apples. They felt sick and tired. They wanted to go home. But they had a problem. The box was too small for them to fit inside. They had made the box smaller by taking out the apples. They could not hide the box or take it with them.
+
+They heard a voice. It was the owner of the box. He was a farmer who had brought the apples to sell at the market. He was angry. He saw Lily and Tom and the empty box. He asked them why they had stolen his apples. Lily and Tom felt sorry. They did not know what to say.
+
+The farmer told them that they had done a bad thing. He said that the apples were his hard work and his income. He said that they should have asked him first or paid him for the apples.

+
+Lena says, "Do I have a passport, mom?"
+

+Lily was a girl who liked to play in the woods. She saw many animals and plants there. She liked to pick flowers and make crowns. One day, she saw a big mushroom with red dots. She thought it was pretty and wanted to touch it.
+
+But the mushroom was not a normal mushroom. It was a magic mushroom that could shrink or grow things. When Lily touched it, she felt a tickle in her hand. Then she saw that her hand was very small. She was scared and tried to pull it away. But it was too late. The mushroom shrank her whole body. She became as tiny as a bug.
+
+Lily cried for help, but no one heard her. She was deaf to the sounds of the woods. She could not hear the birds or the wind. She could only hear her own heart. She looked around and saw a twig. She thought it was a tree. She climbed on it and hoped to find a way out.
+
+But the twig was not a safe place. It was the home of a big spider. The spider saw Lily and thought she was a snack. It ran towards her with its hairy legs and sharp teeth. Lily screamed, but the spider did not care. It caught her in its web and wrapped her in silk. Then it bit her and ate her. Lily was gone. The mushroom was still there, waiting for another curious child.

+
+One day, Tim and Liz were playing with the crystal ball on the floor. They rolled it, tossed it, and spun it around. They had a lot of fun, but they did not notice that they were making a lot of noise. Their mom was working in the next room, and she needed quiet to do her job. She asked them to be quiet, but they did not listen. They kept playing with the crystal ball and making noise.
+
+Their mom got very angry and came to their room. She saw them playing with the crystal ball and said, "You are disturbing me with your noise! You are not being good children! You do not deserve this crystal ball!" She took the crystal ball from them and put it on a high shelf. She said, "You can only have it back when you learn to be quiet and respectful."
+
+Tim and Liz were very sad and sorry. They realized that they had been rude and selfish. They said, "We are sorry, mom. We did not mean to disturb you. We love the crystal ball, but we love you more. Please forgive us and give us another chance."
+
+Their mom saw that they were sincere and hugged them. She said, "I forgive you, my darlings. I know you love the crystal ball, but you have to be careful with it. It is very fragile and precious. You are lucky that you did not break it or lose it. You can have it back, but only if you promise to play with it gently and quietly."
+
+Tim and Liz promised to play with the crystal ball gently and quietly. They thanked their mom and took the crystal ball from the shelf. They put it on a soft pillow and admired its beauty. They learned their lesson and never disturbed their mom again.

+
+Anna and Ben are surprised. They say, "Hey! That is not yours. That is ours. You are not a kid. You are a dog. You cannot go on the slide. You are too big." They push the dog away and stand up. They are not hurt. They are just dirty.
+
+The man sees what happens. He says, "I am sorry. My dog is silly. He likes to play. He did not mean to bother you. Are you okay?" He calls the dog and puts a leash on it. He says, "Come on, boy. Let's go home. You need a bath."
+
+Anna and Ben say, "It is okay. We are okay. Your dog is funny. He made us laugh. But he cannot go on the slide. It is too high for him. He might get hurt." They wave goodbye to the man and the dog. They say, "Bye! Bye!"

+Lily wanted to go to the park with her dog, Spot. She put on her coat and hat and got Spot's leash. She was very happy. But then she saw that it was raining outside. The sky was dull and gray. The rain made big puddles on the ground. Lily felt sad. She did not like the rain.
+
+She asked her mom if they could still go to the park. Her mom said no, it was too wet and cold. They had to delay their trip. Lily did not want to delay. She wanted to go now. She stomped her feet and cried. She said it was not fair.
+
+Spot saw that Lily was upset. He wanted to cheer her up. He wagged his tail and licked her face. He barked and ran around the room. He brought her his favorite toy, a squeaky ball. He wanted to play with Lily.
+
+Lily stopped crying. She saw that Spot was trying to make her happy. She smiled and hugged him. She said he was a good dog. She threw the ball and Spot chased it. They played together in the living room. They had fun.
+
+Lily forgot about the rain. She was glad she had Spot. He was her best friend. She decided to wait for the sun to come out. Then they could go to the park. She knew it would be more fun when it was dry and bright. She thanked her mom for letting her play with Spot. She said she loved her. Her mom said she loved her too. They were a happy family.
+Lily and Ben are playing with their toy cars in the garden. They like to make noises and pretend they are racing. Lily has a red car and Ben has a blue car.
+
+"Vroom, vroom, I am faster than you!" Lily says.
+
+"No, you are not, I am faster!" Ben says.
+
+They zoom around the grass and the flowers, having fun.
+
+But then they see a box of matches on the table. They are curious and want to see what they are.
+
+"Look, what are these?" Lily asks.
+
+"I don't know, let's open it," Ben says.
+
+They open the box and see many small sticks with red tips. They pick one and hold it.
+
+"Maybe it is a toy, like a gun," Ben says.
+
+He points the stick at Lily and says, "Bang, bang, I shoot you!"
+
+Lily laughs and says, "No, you don't, I shoot you back!"
+
+She points another stick at Ben and says, "Bang, bang, I shoot you!"
+
+They pretend to fall down and get up again, giggling.
+
+But then Ben has an idea. He sees a candle on the table. He thinks it is a fire.
+
+"Hey, let's make the sticks light, like the fire," he says.
+
+He takes his stick and touches the candle. The red tip sparks and makes a flame.
+
+"Wow, look, it is light!" Ben says.
+
+He waves the stick around, making patterns in the air.
+
+Lily wants to try too. She takes her stick and touches the candle. Her stick also makes a flame.
+
+"Wow, it is light!" Lily says.
+
+She waves her stick around, too.
+
+But they are not careful. They don't see that the flames are hot and dangerous. They don't see that the sticks can burn things.
+
+They don't see that they are too close to the curtains.
+
+The curtains catch fire. The fire grows bigger and bigger. The fire makes smoke and heat.
+
+Lily and Ben are scared. They drop the sticks and run away.
+
+They scream for help.
+
+"Mummy, daddy, help, fire, fire!" they cry.
+
+Mummy and daddy hear them and come quickly. They see the fire and grab the fire extinguisher. They spray the fire and put it out.
+
+They are angry and worried. They hug Lily and Ben and check if they are hurt.
+
+They are not hurt, but they are sorry.
+
+They say sorry to mummy and daddy. They say sorry to each other.
+
+They learn a lesson. They learn that matches are not toys. They learn that fire is not a game. They learn that they have to be careful and listen to mummy and daddy.
+
+They promise to never play with matches again.

+
+Lily was not happy. She wanted cookies very much. She tried to grab the bag of cookies from the shelf, but it was too high for her. She struggled to reach it, but she could not. She started to cry and kick.
+
+Mom was not happy either. She said, "Lily, stop that right now. You are being very naughty and noisy. You are making a scene. Come on, let's go."
+
+But Lily did not listen. She kept crying and kicking. She saw a nosy lady looking at her and Mom. The lady had a big hat and a long nose. She said, "What a spoiled brat. You should teach her some manners."
+
+Mom was very angry. She said, "Mind your own business, lady. You don't know anything about us. How dare you judge us?"
+
+The lady and Mom started to argue. They yelled at each other. They did not see the big man who was walking behind them. The big man had a lot of groceries in his arms. He was in a hurry. He bumped into Mom and the lady. They all fell down. The groceries flew everywhere. The cookies broke. The eggs cracked. The milk spilled. The apples rolled. The cheese smelled.
+
+Lily stopped crying. She saw the mess. She saw Mom and the lady and the big man. They were all dirty and wet and sore. They looked at each other. They looked at Lily. They were not happy.

+
+One day, her friend Ben came over. He brought his toy dinosaur. He said it was his favorite toy and he never lends it to anyone. Anna wanted to play with the dinosaur, but Ben said no. He said it was too big and scary for her. Anna felt sad and angry.

+She decided to show Ben that she was not afraid of big and scary things. She went to her room and got her dog. Her dog was big and lively and liked to bark and jump. She brought her dog to Ben and said, "This is my dog. He is my favorite animal and I never lend him to anyone. Do you want to play with him?"
+
+Ben looked at the dog and felt scared. He did not like dogs that barked and jumped. He said, "No, thank you. I do not want to play with your dog. He is too big and lively for me. Can I play with your cat or your fish instead?"
+
+Anna smiled and said, "Sure, you can play with my cat or my fish. They are very nice and quiet. And maybe you can lend me your dinosaur for a little while. I promise to be careful and gentle with it."
+
+Ben thought for a moment and then nodded. He said, "Okay, I can lend you my dinosaur for a little while. But you have to give it back to me when we are done. And you have to let me play with your veterinarian kit. I want to pretend to check the dinosaur's ears and teeth and scales."
+
+Anna agreed and they swapped their toys. They played together for a long time and had a lot of fun. They learned that sharing and lending can make them both happy.

+Lily was a girl who liked to cut paper. She had many colors of paper and scissors. She cut the paper into shapes like stars, hearts, and flowers. She liked to make cards and pictures for her family and friends.
+
+One day, Lily saw a big book of animals in the library. She wanted to cut out the animals and make a zoo. She asked her mom if she could borrow the book. Her mom said yes, but she had to be careful with the book and not cut the pages.
+
+Lily took the book home and opened it on the floor. She saw many impressive animals, like lions, elephants, and giraffes. She wanted to cut them all, but she remembered what her mom said. She had an idea. She took a piece of paper and put it on top of the book. She traced the outline of the animals with a pencil. Then she cut the paper along the pencil lines. She did this for many animals until she had a pile of paper animals.
+
+She took the paper animals and glued them on a big cardboard. She drew trees, grass, and water with crayons. She made a sign that said "Lily's Zoo". She was very proud of her work. She showed it to her mom and dad.
+
+"Wow, Lily, this is very impressive!" her mom said. "You made a zoo with paper and crayons. How did you do it?"
+
+Lily smiled and told her mom how she traced the animals from the book and cut them out. She said she did not cut the book pages, only the paper.
+
+"That's very smart and creative, Lily," her dad said. "You are a good cutter and a good artist. We are very proud of you."
+
+Lily hugged her mom and dad. She was happy. She liked to cut paper and make things. She wondered what she would make next.
+Ben loves his scooter. He rides it every day in the park with his mom and dad. He likes to go fast and make loud noises. He pretends he is a race car or a rocket.
+
+One day, he sees a girl with a different scooter. Her scooter has stickers and ribbons and bells. It looks very pretty and creative. Ben wants to say hello, but he feels shy. He whispers to his mom, "Who is she?"
+
+Mom smiles and says, "That is Lily. She is your new neighbor. She moved in yesterday. Do you want to be friends with her?"
+
+Ben nods, but he still feels shy. He whispers to his dad, "What if she does not like me?"
+
+Dad hugs him and says, "Don't worry, Ben. You are a nice and fun boy. I'm sure she will like you. Why don't you go and say hello? Maybe you can share your scooters and play together."
+
+Ben takes a deep breath and rides his scooter to Lily. He smiles and says, "Hi, I'm Ben. I like your scooter. It's very creative."
+
+Lily smiles back and says, "Hi, I'm Lily. Thank you. I like your scooter too. It's very fast. Do you want to try it?"

+Ben and Lily swap their scooters and ride together. They laugh and talk and have fun. They become good friends. Ben is happy. He whispers to himself, "I'm glad I said hello."
+Lily liked to look at the stars at night. She wondered what they were and how far they were. She asked her mom, "What are the stars, mom?"
+
+Her mom said, "The stars are big balls of fire in the sky. They are very, very far away. They are part of the universe. The universe is everything that we can see and more. It is very, very big and very, very old. It is always growing and changing."
+
+Lily was amazed. She wanted to know more. She asked her mom, "How does the universe grow, mom?"
+
+Her mom said, "The universe grows because of a big bang. A long, long time ago, there was a tiny dot of everything. Then it exploded and made the universe. The universe keeps growing because of the explosion. It makes more stars and more space."
+
+Lily was confused. She asked her mom, "Why did the dot explode, mom?"
+
+Her mom said, "That is a good question, Lily. Nobody knows for sure why the dot exploded. Some people have different ideas. Some people think it was an accident. Some people think it was a plan. Some people think it was a mystery."
+
+Lily thought about it. She said, "I think it was a plan. I think someone made the dot and made it explode. I think someone wanted to make the universe and the stars and us."
+
+Her mom smiled. She said, "That is a nice idea, Lily. Maybe you are right. Maybe someone did make the dot and the universe and the stars and us. Maybe someone loves us and watches over us."
+
+Lily felt happy. She said, "I love the stars, mom. And I love you. And I love the someone who made us."
+
+Her mom hugged her. She said, "I love you too, Lily. And I love the stars. And I love the someone who made us."
+
+They looked at the stars together. They felt small and big at the same time. They felt part of the universe.
+
+But not everyone liked the stars. Tom was Lily's neighbor. He was a foolish boy. He did not care about the stars or the universe or the someone who made them. He only cared about himself. He liked to break things and make noise and hurt animals. He was mean and rude and selfish.
+
+One night, he saw Lily and her mom looking at the stars. He thought they were silly. He said, "What are you doing, Lily? Why are you looking at the stars? They are boring and stupid. They are just dots in the sky. They don't do anything. They don't matter. You don't matter. Nobody matters."
+
+Lily was sad. She said, "That is not true, Tom. The stars are not boring and stupid. They are beautiful and amazing. They are part of the universe. The universe is everything that we can see and more. It is very, very big and very, very old. It is always growing and changing. It is a plan and a mystery and a gift. We are part of the universe. We matter. You matter. Someone loves us and watches over us."
+
+Tom laughed. He said, "You are crazy, Lily. There is no plan and no mystery and no gift. There is no someone who loves us and watches over us. There is only me and what I want. I don't care about the universe or the stars or you. I only care about myself. I am the best and the smartest and the strongest. I can do whatever I want. I can break the stars if I want to."
+
+Lily was scared. She said, "You can't break the stars, Tom. They are too big and too far and too hot. You will hurt yourself and others. You will make a big mess. You will be sorry."
+
+Tom did not listen. He said, "Watch me, Lily. I will show you how I can break the stars. I will show you how I can rule the universe. I will show you how I am better than you and everyone else."
+
+He ran to his house and got his dad's rocket. His dad was a scientist who made rockets for fun. He did not know that Tom took his rocket. Tom was sneaky and fast. He took the rocket and ran back to the yard. He aimed the rocket at the sky. He pressed the button. The rocket flew up and up and up. It made a loud noise and a bright light. It went towards the stars.
+
+Lily and her mom watched in horror. They hoped that Tom would stop. They hoped that the rocket would miss. They hoped that nothing bad would happen.
+
+But something bad did happen. The rocket hit a star. The star was not happy. The star was angry. The star exploded. The explosion was bigger than the
+Tim and Lily liked to play in the woods near their home. They liked to climb trees, find bugs, and make forts. But they knew they had to be careful, because sometimes there were wolves in the woods. Wolves were big and scary and had sharp teeth. Their mom and dad told them to always stay together and come back before dark.
+
+One day, Tim and Lily saw a big wolf in the woods. It was lying on the ground, and it looked hurt. It had a thorn in its paw, and it was bleeding. Tim and Lily felt sorry for the wolf, and they wanted to help it. They thought maybe the wolf was nice, and not scary. They went closer to the wolf, very slowly and quietly.
+
+The wolf did not see them or hear them. The wolf was deaf. It could not hear anything, not even its own howl. That was why it was alone, and why it got hurt. It had no friends or family to help it. Tim and Lily did not know that the wolf was deaf. They thought it was sleeping.
+
+They reached the wolf, and Tim tried to pull out the thorn. The wolf felt the pain, and woke up. It saw Tim and Lily, and it was angry and scared. It thought they were trying to hurt it. It growled and snapped at them, and tried to bite them. Tim and Lily screamed and ran away. They were very afraid.
+
+They ran back to their home, and told their mom and dad what happened. Their mom and dad hugged them and said they were brave, but also very foolish. They said they should never go near a wolf, even if it looked hurt. They said wolves were dangerous, and could not be friends with people. They said they were lucky to be alive.
+
+Tim and Lily learned their lesson. They never went near a wolf again. They still liked to play in the woods, but they stayed away from the places where wolves lived. They missed the wolf, a little bit. They wondered if it was still alone, and if it ever found someone to help it. They hoped it was okay. They hoped it was happy.
+Tom liked to play with his toy cars. He had many cars of different colors and sizes. He liked to make them zoom and crash on the floor. He pretended he was a driver and wore a vest that his mom gave him. The vest was red and had a star on it.
+
+One day, Tom was playing with his cars when he smelled something bad. He looked around and saw his vest on the floor. It was smelly and dirty. He had spilled his juice on it and forgot to wash it. He felt sad and angry. He did not want to wear a smelly vest.
+
+He ran to his mom and showed her his vest. He said, "Mom, my vest is smelly. I don't like it. Can I have a new one?" His mom smiled and hugged him. She said, "Tom, you don't need a new vest. You can wash your vest and make it clean and nice. Then you can wear it again and play with your cars."
+
+She took him to the bathroom and helped him wash his vest. She used soap and water and rubbed the vest. She rinsed it and hung it to dry. She said, "Tom, you did a good job. Your vest is not smelly anymore. It is clean and bright. You can wear it tomorrow and be a driver again."
+
+Tom was happy and proud. He thanked his mom and gave her a kiss. He said, "Mom, I love you. And I love my vest. It is my favorite vest. I will take care of it and not spill juice on it again." He went to his room and put his vest on his bed. He looked at his cars and smiled. He was ready to play again. He became a driver and wore his vest. The vest was red and had a star on it.
+Lily and Ben are best friends. They like to play in the park with their toys. One day, they see a chubby cat sitting on a bench. The cat has a big piece of cheese in its mouth.
+
+"Look, Ben, a cheese cat!" Lily says.
+
+"Shh, Lily, don't scare it!" Ben says. He whispers to Lily, "Let's go closer and see the cheese."
+
+They walk slowly and quietly to the bench. The cat does not see them. It is busy eating the cheese. Lily and Ben are very curious. They want to touch the cheese.
+
+"Can I have some cheese, please?" Lily asks the cat.
+
+The cat looks up and sees Lily and Ben. It is angry. It hisses and scratches at them. Lily and Ben are scared. They run away from the cat.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Lily and Ben cry. They have scratches on their hands.
+
+They go to their mommies and show them their wounds. Their mommies hug them and put band-aids on them.
+
+"Sorry, mommies, we wanted to see the cheese cat," Lily and Ben say.
+
+Their mommies shake their heads and smile. They say, "Next time, don't bother the cat. It does not like to share its cheese. Come on, let's go home and have some cookies."
+
+Lily and Ben nod and hold their mommies' hands. They say goodbye to the park and the cheese cat. They learn their lesson. They do not touch other animals' food. They only eat their own snacks.
+Sara was a kind girl who liked to play with her toys. She had a lot of dolls, cars, blocks and books. She shared them with her friends and her brother. She was happy when they played together.
+
+One day, she found a spider in her room. It was small and black and had eight legs. Sara was not afraid of spiders. She thought they were cute and smart. She wanted to keep the spider as a pet. She put it in a jar and gave it some water and leaves.
+
+But the spider was not happy in the jar. It wanted to be free and make webs and catch bugs. It missed its home and its family. It tried to climb out of the jar, but it was too tight. It felt sad and lonely.
+
+Sara saw that the spider was not happy. She felt sorry for it. She remembered that spiders belong in the garden, not in jars. She decided to let the spider go. She took the jar outside and opened the lid. The spider crawled out and thanked Sara with a smile. It ran to a tree and made a web.
+
+Sara felt happy too. She learned that being kind means letting others be where they belong. She waved goodbye to the spider and went back to her room. She still had her toys to play with, and she knew the spider had its home to live in. They were both happy.
+Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big tunnel near the park. They wanted to see what was inside.
+
+"Let's go in the tunnel," Tom said. "It looks fun."
+
+"I don't know," Lily said. "It looks dark and scary."
+
+"Don't be afraid," Tom said. "We are brave. We have a flashlight and a map. Come on, follow me."
+
+Lily and Tom went in the tunnel. They turned on the flashlight and looked at the map. They saw many things in the tunnel. They saw rocks and dirt and bugs and spiders. They also saw some drawings on the wall. They looked like animals and people.
+
+"Wow, look at these drawings," Lily said. "They are so pretty. Who made them?"
+
+"I don't know," Tom said. "Maybe someone who lived here long ago. Maybe they were cave people."
+
+Lily and Tom walked deeper in the tunnel. They wanted to see more drawings. But then, they heard a loud noise. It sounded like a roar. They turned around and saw a big bear. The bear was angry and hungry. It had sharp teeth and claws. It wanted to eat Lily and Tom.
+
+"Run!" Tom shouted. "Run back to the exit!"
+
+Lily and Tom ran as fast as they could. They dropped the flashlight and the map. They did not care. They only wanted to get out of the tunnel. But the bear was faster. It chased them and caught them. It bit them and scratched them. It hurt them a lot.
+
+Lily and Tom screamed and cried. They wished they never went in the tunnel. They wished they listened to Lily. They wished they were safe and happy. But it was too late. The bear ate them. The end.
+Lily liked to draw with her crayons. She was very creative. She drew flowers, animals, and rainbows on her paper. She wanted to show her drawings to her friends.
+
+She took her crayons and her paper and went outside. She saw a big fence around her yard. She thought the fence was boring. It was only brown and had no pictures. She had an idea. She could change the fence and make it pretty.
+
+She started to draw on the fence with her crayons. She drew a big sun, a happy face, and a butterfly. She was having fun. She did not see her mom coming.
+
+Her mom saw the fence and was very angry. She yelled at Lily and took her crayons away. She said Lily was naughty and had to go to her room. She said Lily had to clean the fence later.
+
+Lily was very sad. She cried and went to her room. She did not understand why her mom was mad. She only wanted to make the fence nice. She wished she had not changed the fence. She wished she had kept her drawings on her paper.
+Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. Lily had a doll with a pink dress and Ben had a truck with big wheels. They were having fun until Lily saw Ben's truck.
+
+"Can I play with your truck?" Lily asked.
+
+"No, it's mine. You have your doll," Ben said.
+
+"But I want to try it. It looks fun," Lily said.
+
+She reached for the truck, but Ben pulled it away.
+
+"Stop it! You'll break it!" Ben shouted.
+
+He pushed Lily and she fell on the floor. She started to cry.
+
+"Mama! Mama!" Lily called.
+
+Mama came from the kitchen and saw what happened. She was angry.
+
+"What's going on here? Why are you crying, Lily?" Mama asked.
+
+"Ben pushed me and he won't let me play with his truck," Lily said.
+
+"Is that true, Ben?" Mama asked.
+
+Ben looked down and nodded.
+
+"Why did you do that, Ben? That's not nice. You have to share your toys with your sister," Mama said.
+
+"But Mama, it's my truck. It belongs to me. I don't want her to touch it," Ben said.
+
+Mama sighed.
+
+"Ben, I know you love your truck, but it's not the only toy in the world. Lily wants to play with you and have fun. You can take turns with the truck and the doll. How would you feel if Lily didn't let you play with her doll?" Mama asked.
+
+Ben thought for a moment.
+
+"I would feel sad and mad," Ben said.
+
+"Exactly. And that's how Lily feels right now. You have to be kind and fair to your sister. She is your family and you have to love her," Mama said.
+
+She picked up Lily and hugged her.
+
+"Are you okay, Lily?" Mama asked.
+
+Lily nodded and wiped her tears.
+
+"I'm okay, Mama. But Ben hurt me," Lily said.
+
+Mama looked at Ben.
+
+"Ben, you have to say sorry to Lily and give her a hug. And then you have to let her play with your truck for a while," Mama said.
+
+Ben felt sorry for what he did. He walked over to Lily and said,
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily. I didn't mean to hurt you. Can I have a hug?"
+
+Lily smiled and hugged him.
+
+"It's okay, Ben. I forgive you. Can I play with your truck?"
+
+Ben nodded and handed her his truck.
+
+"Sure, Lily. You can play with it. But be careful. It's broken," Ben said.
+
+Lily looked at the truck and saw that one of the wheels was loose.
+
+"Oh, no. How did it break?" Lily asked.
+
+Ben shrugged.
+
+"I don't know. It was like that when I got it. But I still like it. It's wide and fast," Ben said.
+
+Lily nodded.
+
+"It's a nice truck, Ben. Thank you for sharing it with me. Do you want to play with my doll?" Lily asked.
+
+Ben smiled.
+
+"Okay, Lily. I'll play with your doll. She's pretty and soft," Ben said.
+
+They sat on the floor and played with their toys. Mama watched them and smiled. She was happy that they made up and learned to share. She knew that they belonged together.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big truck with a picture of ice cream on it. They ran to the truck and asked for ice cream.
+
+"What flavor do you want?" the man in the truck said.
+
+"I want chocolate," Tom said.
+
+"I want strawberry," Lily said.
+
+The man gave them each a cone with ice cream on top. They thanked him and walked away.
+
+They saw a bench under a tree and sat down to eat their ice cream. They licked their cones and smiled.
+
+"Yummy," Tom said.
+
+"Yummy," Lily said.
+
+They saw a bird on the tree. It was black and white and had a long tail. It looked at them with bright eyes.
+
+"Hello, bird," Tom said.
+
+"Hello, bird," Lily said.
+
+The bird opened its beak and said, "Hello, children. Do you want to share your ice cream with me?"
+
+Tom and Lily were surprised. They had never heard a bird talk before. They looked at each other and then at the bird.
+
+"Who are you?" Tom asked.
+
+"I am a mysterious bird. I can talk and I like ice cream," the bird said.
+
+"Wow," Tom said.
+
+"Wow," Lily said.
+
+They decided to share their ice cream with the bird. They broke off pieces of their cones and gave them to the bird. The bird ate them and said, "Thank you, children. You are very kind."
+
+They finished their ice cream and the bird flew away. Tom and Lily waved goodbye to the bird.
+
+"That was a fun adventure," Tom said.
+
+"Yes, it was," Lily said.
+
+They held hands and ran back to their mom, who was waiting for them. They told her about the mysterious bird and the ice cream. She smiled and hugged them. She was happy that they had a good time.
+Lily liked to play with her toys in the bathtub. She had a duck, a frog, a boat and a fish. She made them swim and splash and talk to each other. She pretended the duck was the captain of the boat and the frog was his friend. The fish was a pirate who wanted to steal the boat. The duck and the frog had to stop him.
+
+One day, Lily saw a new toy in the bathtub. It was a big owl with yellow eyes and brown feathers. She wondered who it was and what it could do. She picked it up and said hello. The owl did not say anything. It just blinked and looked at her. Lily thought it was shy. She decided to introduce it to her other toys.
+
+She said, "This is my duck. He is the captain of the boat. He is very brave and smart. Do you want to be his friend?" The owl nodded. Lily smiled and put him on the boat. She said, "This is my frog. He is the duck's friend. He is very funny and kind. Do you want to be his friend too?" The owl nodded again. Lily giggled and put him next to the frog. She said, "This is my fish. He is a pirate. He is very naughty and sneaky. He tries to steal the boat. Do you want to play with him?" The owl shook his head. Lily nodded and said, "I understand. He is not very nice. You can help the duck and the frog stop him."
+
+Lily played with her toys for a long time. She had a lot of fun. The owl was very quiet, but he was very helpful. He used his wings to push the boat faster. He used his beak to peck the fish. He used his eyes to see everything. Lily liked the owl. She thought he was very wise. She gave him a hug and said, "You are my new friend. I like you very much. What is your name?" The owl did not say anything. He just blinked and looked at her. Lily thought for a moment. She said, "I will call you Hoot. Do you like that name?" The owl nodded. Lily smiled and said, "Hoot, you are the best. I love you." The owl nodded again. He loved her too.
+Tom and Anna were restless. They did not want to nap. They wanted to play and have fun. They saw the sun shining and the birds singing outside. They had an idea.
+
+They sneaked out of their room and went to the kitchen. They saw a big tub of ice-cream in the freezer. They opened it and took two spoons. They smiled and licked the ice-cream. It was cold and sweet and yummy.
+
+But then they heard Mom coming. She was looking for them. She would be angry if she saw them eating ice-cream before lunch. They had to escape. They ran to the back door and opened it. They saw the garden and the swing and the slide. They decided to go there and hide.
+
+They left the tub of ice-cream on the floor and the spoons on the table. They did not think about the mess. They just wanted to have fun. They ran to the garden and climbed on the swing and the slide. They laughed and shouted and forgot about Mom.
+
+But Mom saw the mess in the kitchen. She saw the ice-cream melting and the spoons dirty. She knew what Tom and Anna had done. She was angry and worried. She looked for them and found them in the garden. She called their names and told them to come inside. They had to face Mom and say sorry. They had to nap and clean up. They had to learn their lesson. They were not happy. They wished they had not escaped.
+Lily liked to dance. She danced every day in her room, in the garden, and in the park. She danced with her dolls, her dog, and her friends. She danced when she was happy, when she was sad, and when she was bored. She loved to dance.
+
+One day, Lily saw a poster for a dance show. It said that there would be a lot of dancers, and that they would wear beautiful costumes and do amazing moves. Lily wanted to go to the show. She asked her mom if they could go. Her mom said yes, and bought two tickets.
+
+Lily was very excited. She put on her best dress and her shiny shoes. She asked her mom to do her hair in a tight bun, like the dancers on the poster. She said that she wanted to look like them. Her mom smiled and said that she looked lovely.
+
+They went to the show. They sat in the front row, and Lily clapped her hands. The lights went down, and the music started. The dancers came on the stage. They were wearing tight suits and masks. They moved very fast and very strange. They did not look like the dancers on the poster. They did not look like dancers at all.
+
+Lily did not like the show. She did not like the music, the costumes, or the moves. She did not think that they were dancing. She thought that they were jumping and twisting and falling. She had an opinion. She wanted to leave. She tugged on her mom's sleeve and said, "Mom, can we go? I don't like this. This is not dancing. This is silly."
+
+Her mom looked at her and nodded. She said, "Okay, Lily. We can go. I'm sorry you didn't enjoy the show. I guess it was not what we expected. But you know what? You can still dance. You can dance however you want, and whatever makes you happy. Because you love to dance. And I love to watch you dance."
+
+They left the show. They went to the park. Lily danced in the grass, in the sun, and in the wind. She danced with her mom, her dog, and her friends. She danced when she was happy, when she was sad, and when she was bored. She loved to dance.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play outside in the big garden. They see many things in the garden: flowers, trees, birds, bugs. They also see the landscape: the hills, the sky, the sun.
+
+One day, they find a small bird on the ground. The bird is hurt. It cannot fly. Anna and Ben feel sad for the bird. They want to help it.
+
+"Let's pray for the bird," Anna says. "Maybe God will make it better."
+
+"OK," Ben says. They hold hands and close their eyes. They pray for the bird. They ask God to heal it and make it happy.
+
+They open their eyes and look at the bird. The bird moves a little. It opens its eyes. It chirps softly. Anna and Ben smile.
+
+"Look, the bird is better!" Anna says. "God heard our prayer!"
+
+"Yay!" Ben says. "We are successful! We helped the bird!"
+
+They gently pick up the bird and put it on a branch. The bird flaps its wings and flies away. It sings a song of thanks. Anna and Ben clap and cheer.
+
+They hug each other and thank God. They feel happy and proud. They go back to play in the garden. They enjoy the landscape and the bird's song. They are good twins.
+Lily and Ben liked to play with their toys in the garden. They had a little boat that they could sail in the pond. They also had a mixer that they could use to make mud pies. They had a lot of fun with their toys.
+
+One day, they decided to sail their boat to the other side of the pond. They pushed the boat into the water and watched it go. But the wind was very strong and the boat went too fast. It hit a rock and broke. Lily and Ben were sad. They loved their boat.
+
+They ran to the pond and tried to get their boat back. But the water was too deep and they could not reach it. They did not know what to do. They looked around and saw their mixer. They had an idea.
+
+They took their mixer and some sticks and leaves. They used the mixer to mix the sticks and leaves with some mud. They made a new boat with the mud. They put the mixer inside the boat as the engine. They were very clever.
+
+They put their new boat in the pond and turned on the mixer. The mixer made a noise and the boat moved. It sailed to the other side of the pond and back. Lily and Ben were happy. They had a new boat. They hugged their mixer and thanked it. They played with their boat and their mixer all day. They had a lot of fun.
+Sara and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a stream with water and rocks. They wanted to go near the stream and look for fish.
+
+"Let's go to the stream!" Sara said.
+
+"OK, but be careful. The water is filthy. It has dirt and trash in it." Ben said.
+
+They walked to the stream and looked at the water. They saw some fish swimming under the rocks. They also saw some cans and bottles and plastic bags floating on the water.
+
+"Look, fish!" Sara said. She pointed at the water.
+
+"Wow, they are pretty. But they must be sad. The water is filthy. It is bad for them." Ben said.
+
+They felt sorry for the fish. They wanted to help them. They decided to pick up some of the trash and put it in a bag.
+
+"Let's clean the stream. Then the fish will be happy." Sara said.
+
+"OK, let's do it. But we have to be careful. The water is filthy. It can make us sick." Ben said.
+
+They worked together to clean the stream. They filled the bag with trash. They saw the fish swim more freely. They felt happy too.
+
+"Look, we did it! The stream is cleaner. The fish are happier." Sara said.
+
+"Yes, we did it! We are good helpers. The stream is better." Ben said.
+
+They smiled at each other. They were proud of themselves. They left the bag near the trash can. They waved goodbye to the fish. They went back to their parents. They told them what they did. Their parents were proud of them too. They hugged them and praised them. They had a good day.
+Sara likes to draw with her crayons on paper. She makes pictures of her family, her dog, and her toys. She is very happy when she draws.
+
+One day, her big brother Tom comes into her room. He is angry because Sara took his ball. He sees her paper on the floor. He wants to make her sad. He picks up her paper and tears it into pieces. He throws the pieces in the air.
+
+Sara sees what Tom does. She feels very sad and mad. She screams very loud. She screams, "Stop! Stop! Stop! That is my paper! That is my picture! You are mean!"
+
+Mom hears Sara scream. She runs into the room. She sees the paper pieces and Tom. She is very angry too. She says to Tom, "What did you do? Why did you tear Sara's paper? That is not nice. That is not gentle. You have to say sorry and help Sara fix her paper."
+
+Tom does not want to say sorry. He does not want to help Sara. He says, "No! I don't care. She took my ball. She deserves it." He runs out of the room.
+
+Mom hugs Sara and tries to calm her down. She says, "I'm sorry, Sara. Tom was very wrong. He should not have done that. I will talk to him later. Let's see if we can glue your paper back together. Maybe we can make a new picture."
+
+Sara nods and wipes her tears. She says, "Thank you, Mom. I love you. I love my paper. I don't love Tom. He is bad."
+
+Mom says, "I love you too, Sara. I love your paper too. I love Tom too, but he needs to learn how to be gentle and kind. Maybe he will say sorry later. Maybe he will draw with you too."
+
+Sara hopes Mom is right. But she does not think Tom will say sorry. She does not think Tom will draw with her. She thinks Tom will be mean again. She is not happy. She is still sad and mad. The end.
+Ben was a little boy who liked to play with his toys. He had a lot of cars and trucks and trains that he could make noises with. He also had a big teddy bear that he hugged when he was sleepy.
+
+One day, his mom said it was time for lunch. She made him a sandwich and some vegetable soup. Ben did not like vegetable soup. He said it was yucky and green. He only wanted to eat his sandwich.
+
+His mom said he had to try the soup. She said it was good for him and it would make him feel strong and healthy. She said he could have a cookie after he ate the soup. Ben did not want to eat the soup, but he wanted the cookie.
+
+He took a small spoon of the soup and put it in his mouth. He did not like how it tasted. He made a face and said "Blech!" His mom smiled and said he had to eat more. She said he could have some milk with the soup.
+
+Ben ate some more soup, but he still did not like it. He drank some milk and ate his sandwich. He felt full and sleepy. He asked his mom if he could have the cookie now. His mom said yes, he could have the cookie. She gave him a chocolate chip cookie and a kiss.
+
+Ben ate the cookie and felt happy. He said thank you to his mom and gave her a hug. He said he was sleepy and wanted to take a nap. His mom said okay, he could take a nap. She took him to his room and tucked him in with his teddy bear. She said she loved him and wished him sweet dreams. Ben closed his eyes and fell asleep. He dreamed of cars and trucks and trains and cookies. He did not dream of vegetable soup.
+Sam and Mia liked to play in the sand near the water. They made castles and bridges and tunnels with their buckets and shovels. They also liked to look for shells and crabs and fish. Sometimes they saw big fish with fins and teeth. They knew those were sharks and they stayed away from them.
+
+One day, they found a big shark on the sand. It was not moving or breathing. It had a big hole in its side and blood on its skin. It was very smelly. Sam and Mia were curious and scared. They wanted to touch it, but they also wanted to run away.
+
+They decided to poke it with a stick. They thought maybe it was sleeping or pretending. They poked it gently on its tail, then on its fin, then on its head. Nothing happened. The shark did not move or make a sound. It was still smelly.
+
+Sam and Mia realized that the shark was dead. They felt sad and sorry for the shark. They wondered what happened to it and who hurt it. They wished they could help it or make it better. They decided to leave it alone and go back to their sand castles. They hoped no other sharks would get hurt. They also hoped the smelly shark would go away soon.
+Lily and Max were best friends. They liked to play in the park and pretend they were heroes. One day, they saw a big dog with a pale coat and a loud bark. The dog was not nice. It chased a cat and scared some birds.
+
+Lily and Max wanted to help the animals. They believed they were brave and strong. They picked up some sticks and ran towards the dog. They shouted, "Go away, bad dog! Leave the animals alone!"
+
+The dog was surprised. It stopped and looked at Lily and Max. It growled and showed its teeth. It wanted to fight. Lily and Max did not run away. They held their sticks and stood together.
+
+The dog tried to bite them, but they dodged and hit it with their sticks. The dog yelped and ran away. Lily and Max cheered and hugged. They had won the fight. They were heroes.
+
+The cat and the birds came back. They thanked Lily and Max for saving them. They gave them some kisses and feathers. Lily and Max smiled and shared their gifts. They were happy and proud. They believed in themselves.
+Tommy was a spoiled boy. He always wanted more toys and candy. He did not like to share or say thank you. He was rude to his mom and dad and his friends.
+
+One day, Tommy had a birthday. He received many gifts from his family and friends. He opened them quickly and threw the paper away. He did not look happy or grateful. He just wanted more and more.
+
+One of his gifts was a string. It was a long and colorful string. His aunt said it was a special string. She said he could make many things with it. He could tie it, twist it, braid it, or loop it. He could make bracelets, necklaces, belts, or hats. He could have fun and be creative.
+
+But Tommy did not like the string. He thought it was a silly and boring gift. He said it was not a toy. He said he wanted something else. He threw the string on the floor and cried. He was very rude and unkind.
+
+His aunt was sad and hurt. She picked up the string and said goodbye. She said she hoped Tommy would learn to be happy with what he had. She said she loved him anyway.
+
+Tommy did not care. He did not say sorry or thank you. He just wanted more and more. He did not know that he was missing out on a wonderful gift. He did not know that the string could make him happy and creative. He did not know that he was a spoiled boy.
+Tim and Sue like to play with cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They make roads with blocks and race their cars on them. Sometimes they make sharp turns and their cars crash. They laugh and say "boom!"
+
+One day, they find a new car in the toy box. It is big and red and shiny. Tim and Sue want to play with it. They take it out and look at it. It has four wheels and a door and a horn. But it also has something else. It has a sharp tooth on the front.
+
+Tim and Sue are scared of the car with the sharp tooth. They think it is a monster car. They want to put it back in the toy box. But the car does not want to go back. It starts to move by itself. It makes a loud noise and chases Tim and Sue.
+
+Tim and Sue run away from the car with the sharp tooth. They scream and cry. They try to hide behind the sofa and the table and the chair. But the car with the sharp tooth finds them. It bites their blocks and their books and their dolls. It makes a mess and a hole. It is a very bad and disgusting car.
+
+Tim and Sue are very sad and angry. They want to stop the car with the sharp tooth. They look for something to hit it with. They find a big stick and a big rock. They wait for the car with the sharp tooth to come near them. Then they throw the stick and the rock at it. They hit it hard and break it. The car with the sharp tooth stops moving and making noise. It is broken and quiet.
+
+Tim and Sue are happy and brave. They have stopped the car with the sharp tooth. They hug each other and say "yay!" They clean up the mess and the hole. They put the car with the sharp tooth in the trash. They never want to see it again. They play with their other cars that are nice and fun. They make roads with blocks and race their cars on them. Sometimes they make sharp turns and their cars crash. They laugh and say "boom!"
+Tim and his dad went to the zoo. They saw many animals, like monkeys, elephants, and lions. Tim liked the animals, but he was very tired. He wanted to sleep.
+
+"Dad, can we go home now?" Tim asked. "I am sleepy."
+
+"Not yet, Tim. There is one more animal to see. It is a leopard. It is like a big cat, but with spots. Do you want to see it?" Dad said.
+
+"Okay, dad. But only for a little bit. Then we go home and sleep," Tim said.
+
+They walked to the leopard cage. The leopard was elderly. It had gray fur and dull eyes. It was lying on a rock, not moving much. Tim and his dad looked at it.
+
+"Wow, dad. The leopard is old. Does it still hunt?" Tim asked.
+
+"No, Tim. The leopard is too old to hunt. It gets its food from the zookeepers. It is not very happy here. It misses the wild," Dad said.
+
+Tim felt sorry for the leopard. He wanted to make it happy. He had an idea.
+
+"Dad, can I give the leopard a hug? Maybe it will feel better," Tim said.
+
+"No, Tim. That is very dangerous. The leopard is still a wild animal. It might bite you or scratch you. You have to stay behind the fence," Dad said.
+
+But Tim did not listen. He was very curious. He climbed over the fence and ran to the leopard. He reached out his arms to hug it.
+
+The leopard saw Tim. It was hungry and angry. It did not want a hug. It wanted a meal. It jumped from the rock and pounced on Tim. It bit his neck and dragged him to its den.
+
+Dad screamed and ran to the fence. He called for help. But it was too late. Tim was gone. The leopard had eaten him. Dad cried and cried. He wished he had taken Tim home to sleep.
+Lila liked to imagine that she was a princess. She had a big dress, a shiny crown, and a lot of jewels. She did not like to share her toys with her brother, Tom. She said they were her minerals and he could not touch them.
+
+One day, Tom found a box of old coins in the attic. He was very happy and ran to show Lila. He said they could play with them and pretend they were pirates. But Lila was angry. She said they were her minerals too and she wanted them all. She snatched the box from Tom and pushed him away.
+
+Tom was sad and hurt. He cried and ran to his mom. His mom saw what happened and scolded Lila. She said she was very selfish and mean. She said she had to give back the coins to Tom and say sorry. She also said she had to give away some of her toys to the poor children who had none.
+
+Lila did not want to do that. She said she loved her minerals and toys and she did not care about the poor children. She said she was a princess and she could do what she wanted. She ran to her room and locked the door.
+
+But when she opened the box of coins, she saw that they were not shiny and pretty. They were old and rusty and dirty. They had no value at all. They were just junk. Lila felt very foolish and ashamed. She realized that she had been greedy and rude. She wished she had been nice to Tom and shared with him. She wished she had been kind to the poor children and given them some of her toys. She wished she had not imagined that she was a princess, but a good sister and a good friend. But it was too late. She had lost Tom's trust and love. She had lost her mom's respect and pride. She had lost her own happiness and peace. She had nothing left but her minerals and toys, and they did not make her happy at all.
+
+The moral of the story is: Do not be greedy and selfish. Share what you have with others. Be humble and grateful. Imagine that you are a good person, not a princess.
+Lily and Ben liked to play with cardboard boxes. They had many boxes of different sizes and shapes. They used them to make forts, cars, rockets and castles. Sometimes they painted them or cut out windows and doors.
+
+One day, they found an enormous cardboard box in the garage. It was bigger than both of them. They were very excited and dragged it to the backyard. They decided to make it into a boat. They used a broom as a mast and a sheet as a sail. They drew fish and waves on the sides of the box.
+
+They climbed inside the box and pretended to sail on the ocean. They saw dolphins, sharks, whales and mermaids. They sang songs and told stories. They had a lot of fun.
+
+But then, their mom called them for lunch. She said they had to leave the box and come inside. Lily and Ben did not want to stop playing. They liked their boat too much. They tried to resist. They said they were not hungry. They said they wanted to stay in the box.
+
+Their mom was firm. She said they had to eat and rest. She said they could play with the box later. She said she would help them move it to a safe place. She said she was proud of their creativity.
+
+Lily and Ben were sad. They loved their boat. But they also loved their mom. They knew she was right. They climbed out of the box and followed her to the house. They gave her a hug and thanked her. They said they would finish their boat adventure after lunch.
+Sara and Ben like to play on the beach. They find many things in the sand. They find shells, rocks, and sticks. One day, they find a big metal thing. It is an anchor. They do not know what it is.
+
+"Look, Sara, what is this?" Ben asks.
+
+"I don't know, Ben. It is heavy and rusty. Maybe it is a treasure," Sara says.
+
+They try to lift the anchor, but it is too heavy. They try to drag it, but it is too hard. They get tired and dirty.
+
+"Let's leave it, Sara. It is not fun. It is not a treasure. It is a bad thing," Ben says.
+
+"No, Ben, we can't leave it. We have to take it home. Maybe Mom and Dad will know what it is. Maybe they will be happy," Sara says.
+
+Sara and Ben keep trying to move the anchor. They do not see the big wave coming. The wave is orange from the sun. The wave is fast and loud. The wave hits them and the anchor. The wave takes them and the anchor into the water.
+
+Sara and Ben are scared. They cannot breathe. They cannot swim. They hold on to the anchor. The anchor is heavy and pulls them down. They want to let go of the anchor, but they are afraid to lose each other.
+
+They regret finding the anchor. They regret not leaving the anchor. They regret not listening to Ben. They regret not playing with the shells, rocks, and sticks. They regret not having fun on the beach. They regret not saying goodbye to Mom and Dad.
+
+The end.
+Lily liked to taste new things. She saw an orange on the table. It looked round and bright. She wanted to taste it. She did not ask her mom. She was careless.
+
+She took the orange and ran to her room. She tried to peel it with her fingers. It was hard. She used her teeth. She bit the orange. It was sour. She made a face. She did not like it.
+
+She threw the orange on the floor. She did not care. She looked for something else to taste. She saw a bottle on the shelf. It looked pretty. It had a picture of a flower. She wanted to taste it. She did not read the label. She was careless.
+
+She opened the bottle and drank some. It was bitter. It burned her mouth. She coughed. She felt sick. She cried. She did not like it.
+
+She ran to her mom. She told her what she did. Her mom was worried. She checked the bottle. It was perfume. It was not for drinking. It was bad for Lily. Her mom hugged her. She gave her some water. She called the doctor. She was careful.
+
+Lily learned a lesson. She should not taste things without asking. She should not be careless. She should be careful. She said sorry to her mom. She said thank you to the doctor. She did not taste new things for a while. She liked water and milk. She liked apples and bananas. She did not like oranges and perfume.
+Anna loved to help her mom in the kitchen. She was very enthusiastic and wanted to learn how to cook. Mom showed her how to measure flour, sugar, and butter with a teaspoon. Anna held the teaspoon carefully and scooped the ingredients into a bowl.
+
+"Can I stir, mom?" Anna asked, hoping to do more.
+
+"Sure, honey, you can stir. But be gentle, or the batter will spill," mom said, handing her a wooden spoon. Anna stirred the batter slowly and watched it turn smooth and yellow. She smelled the vanilla and smiled.
+
+"Is it ready, mom?" Anna asked, eager to taste.
+
+"Not yet, honey, we have to bake it first. Come on, let's put it in the pan and in the oven," mom said, lifting the bowl. Anna followed her to the oven and helped her slide the pan inside.
+
+"Now we have to wait for a while, until the cake is done. Do you want to read a book with me?" mom asked, taking Anna's hand.
+
+"Yes, mom, I love books. But I hope the cake will be yummy," Anna said, looking at the oven.
+
+"I'm sure it will be, honey. You did a great job helping me. You are a wonderful little chef," mom said, hugging Anna and taking her to the couch. They picked a book and read it together, while the cake baked and filled the kitchen with a sweet aroma.
+Lily was a little girl who liked to repeat what her big brother said. She thought it was fun to copy his words and make him laugh. But one morning, she repeated something that made him angry.
+
+Lily heard her brother say a bad word when he stubbed his toe on the bed. She did not know what it meant, but she thought it sounded funny. So she said it out loud, just like him. "Ow, ow, ow, f***!" she shouted.
+
+Her brother turned around and saw her. He was not laughing. He was very mad. He yelled at her and told her to never say that word again. He said it was a naughty word that hurt people's feelings. He said she was a bad sister and he did not want to play with her.
+
+Lily felt sad and scared. She did not mean to make her brother mad. She did not mean to say a naughty word. She did not know it hurt people's feelings. She just wanted to have fun. She started to cry and ran to her mom.
+
+Her mom hugged her and asked her what happened. Lily told her everything. Her mom said she was sorry that her brother yelled at her. She said he was just surprised and did not mean to be mean. She said he loved her and would play with her later. She said she was a good sister and a good girl. She said she should not repeat bad words, but only nice words. She said she should say sorry to her brother and he would say sorry to her.
+
+Lily nodded and wiped her tears. She felt better. She said sorry to her mom for saying a bad word. She said she loved her mom and her brother. She said she would not repeat bad words again. She said she would only repeat nice words. She said she was ready for breakfast. She smiled and hugged her mom.
+Sara and Tom like to play with trains. They have a big box of rails and cars and engines. They make long tracks on the floor and pretend to go to different places.
+
+One day, Sara finds a shiny rail in the box. It is gold and sparkly. She shows it to Tom and says, "Look, I found a magic rail. Maybe it can take us to a fairy land."
+
+Tom looks at the rail and says, "That is not a magic rail. That is a fake rail. It is not real gold. It is just paint. You can't go to a fairy land with a fake rail."
+
+Sara feels sad. She likes the shiny rail. She thinks it is pretty and special. She says, "But I want to go to a fairy land. I want to see fairies and flowers and rainbows. Maybe the fake rail can still work. Maybe we just have to believe."
+
+Tom shakes his head. He thinks Sara is silly. He says, "No, it can't work. It is just a toy. You can't go anywhere with a toy. You have to use real rails and real engines. Come on, let's play with the other trains."
+
+Sara does not want to play with the other trains. She wants to play with the shiny rail. She takes it and puts it on the floor. She says, "I don't care if it is fake. I like it. I will play with it by myself. Maybe I will find a fairy land."
+
+She closes her eyes and makes a wish. She wishes to go to a fairy land. She opens her eyes and looks at the shiny rail. She sees a flash of light. She hears a tinkling sound. She feels a breeze. She smiles. She thinks she sees a fairy. She says, "Hello, fairy. Can you take me to your land?"
+
+The end.
+Lily liked to write in her diary every day. She wrote about what she did, what she saw, and what she felt. She was honest and did not lie in her diary. She kept her diary in a secret place under her bed.
+
+One day, Lily's brother Tom found her diary. He was curious and wanted to read it. He took it out and opened it. He saw Lily's words and drawings. He thought they were silly and funny. He decided to play a prank on Lily. He took a spray bottle and filled it with water. He sprayed water on some of the pages of the diary. He made them wet and blurry. He laughed and put the diary back.
+
+When Lily came home, she wanted to write in her diary. She went to her room and looked under her bed. She found her diary and took it out. She opened it and saw the water marks. She was shocked and sad. She tried to read what she wrote, but some of the words were gone. She cried and ran to her mom.
+
+Mom hugged Lily and asked her what was wrong. Lily showed her the diary and told her what happened. Mom was angry and called Tom. Tom came and saw the diary. He knew he was in trouble. He said he was sorry and that he was just joking. He said he did not mean to hurt Lily.
+
+Mom told Tom that he should not touch Lily's diary. She said that it was Lily's private and honest thing. She said that he should respect Lily and her feelings. She said that he should apologize to Lily and help her fix the diary. Tom nodded and said he understood. He hugged Lily and said he was sorry again. He said he would not do it again. He said he loved Lily and her diary. Lily smiled and said she loved Tom too. She said they could share her diary if he wanted. They went to their room and dried the pages. They wrote and drew together. They were happy.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big box under a tree. They want to see what is in the box.
+
+They run to the box and open it. They find many toys inside. They see dolls, cars, balls, books and more. They are very happy. They take out some toys and start to play.
+
+But then, they hear a loud noise. It is a dog. The dog is big and black. It looks angry. It wants the toys. It runs to the box and barks.
+
+Anna and Ben are scared. They drop the toys and run away. They hide behind a bench. They hope the dog will go away.
+
+They wait and wait. They feel cold. They miss the toys. They want to go home. They search for their moms. They see them on the other side of the park. They call them and wave.
+
+Their moms see them and come to them. They hug them and ask them what happened. Anna and Ben tell them about the box and the dog. Their moms say they are brave and smart. They say they will find another box with better toys. They say they will go home and have some hot chocolate.
+
+Anna and Ben smile. They are happy. They hold their moms' hands and walk home. They forget about the box and the dog. They think about the hot chocolate and the new toys. They are still friends.
+Lily likes to draw with her crayons. She has many colors and she makes pretty pictures. She draws a big sun, a blue sky, a green tree and a red house. She is happy with her picture.
+
+She wants to show her picture to Mommy. She runs to the living room, where Mommy is sitting on the sofa. She holds her picture in her hands and says, "Look, Mommy, look what I made!"
+
+Mommy smiles and says, "That's very nice, Lily. You are a good artist." She takes the picture from Lily and puts it on the table. She says, "I have something for you, too. Come here, Lily."
+
+Lily follows Mommy to the wall, where there is a big frame. The frame is shiny and smooth. It has glass in it. Mommy says, "This is a picture of Grandma. She was very kind and sweet. She loved you very much, Lily. Do you remember Grandma?"
+
+Lily nods. She remembers Grandma. Grandma used to hug her and read her stories and give her cookies. She misses Grandma. She says, "Where is Grandma, Mommy?"
+
+Mommy kneels down and hugs Lily. She says, "Grandma is not here, Lily. She is in heaven. She is with the angels. She is happy and peaceful. But she can't see us or talk to us anymore. She is gone, Lily. She died."
+
+Lily feels a big pain in her chest. She doesn't understand. She says, "No, Mommy, no. I want Grandma. I want to see her and talk to her and hug her. I want Grandma, Mommy, please."
+
+Mommy shakes her head and says, "I'm sorry, Lily. I'm sorry. I want Grandma, too. But we can't have her back. We can only remember her and love her in our hearts. She will always be with us in our hearts, Lily. Do you understand?"
+
+Lily doesn't understand. She cries and cries. She doesn't want to remember Grandma. She wants to have Grandma. She doesn't want to love Grandma in her heart. She wants to love Grandma in her arms. She is very sad and angry. She hates the frame. She hates the picture. She hates heaven. She hates Mommy. She hates everything. She screams and kicks and throws her crayons. She breaks the frame. She tears the picture. She hurts Mommy. She hurts herself. She is very bad. She is very unhappy. The end.
+Lily liked to play on the swing in the park. She liked to go high and feel the wind in her hair. She liked to see the bright sun and the blue sky. She liked to hear the birds and the laughter of other children.
+
+One day, Lily went to the park with her mom. She ran to the swing and asked her mom to push her. She was having so much fun that she did not notice the dark clouds in the sky. Soon, it started to rain. Lily felt the drops on her face and her clothes. She did not like the rain. She wanted to go home.
+
+Her mom said, "Lily, it's raining. We have to go home. Come, let's get off the swing." Lily was sad. She did not want to leave the swing. She wanted to play more. She said, "No, mom. I want to stay on the swing. I like the swing."
+
+Her mom said, "I know, Lily. But the rain is wet and cold. We can get sick. We can return to the swing another day, when the sun is out. I promise." Lily looked at her mom. She saw that her mom was wet and cold too. She loved her mom. She did not want her mom to get sick. She said, "OK, mom. Let's go home. But can we return to the swing tomorrow?"
+
+Her mom smiled and hugged her. She said, "Yes, Lily. If the weather is good, we can return to the swing tomorrow. Now, let's go home and get dry and warm." Lily nodded and got off the swing. She held her mom's hand and walked to the car. She looked back at the swing and said, "Bye, swing. See you tomorrow."
+Sam was bored. He did not like to stay in his room. He wanted to play outside with his friends. But his mom said he had to stay in his room because he was sick. She gave him a book and a sheet of paper. She said he could draw or read.
+
+Sam looked at the book. It had many words and pictures. He did not recognize some of the words. He did not like the pictures. They were not fun. They were boring. He put the book away.
+
+Sam looked at the sheet of paper. It was white and blank. He did not have any crayons or pencils. He did not know what to draw. He did not want to draw. He wanted to play. He crumpled the sheet of paper and threw it on the floor.
+
+Sam felt sad and angry. He did not like to be bored. He did not like to be sick. He did not like to be alone. He started to cry.
+
+His mom heard him cry. She came to his room. She saw the crumpled sheet of paper and the book. She saw his tears. She felt sorry for him. She hugged him and kissed him. She said she loved him. She said he would get better soon. She said she would play with him.
+
+Sam felt happy. He loved his mom. He smiled and hugged her back. He said he loved her too. He said he wanted to play with her. She smiled and nodded. She picked up the sheet of paper and the book. She said they could draw and read together. She said they could have fun.
+
+Sam agreed. He did not feel bored anymore. He felt better. He was glad his mom was with him. He was ready to play.
+Lila and Ben were at the beach with their mom and dad. They liked to play in the sand and look for shells and crabs. They also liked to splash in the water, but not too deep.
+
+One day, they saw something big and pink in the water. It had many arms and suckers. It was an octopus. Lila and Ben were curious and wanted to see it closer. They asked their mom and dad if they could go near it.
+
+"Be careful," mom said. "Octopuses can be shy or angry. They can squirt ink or bite."
+
+"Don't touch it," dad said. "It might be poisonous or hurt you."
+
+Lila and Ben nodded and walked slowly to the water. They saw the octopus hiding under a rock. They said hello to it.
+
+"Hello, octopus," Lila said. "We are Lila and Ben. We want to be your friends."
+
+"Hello, octopus," Ben said. "You are very pretty and smart. We like your arms and suckers."
+
+The octopus heard them and peeked out of the rock. It saw Lila and Ben smiling and waving. It decided they were nice and not scary. It came out of the rock and spread its arms. It waved back to them.
+
+"Hello, Lila and Ben," the octopus said. "I am Ollie. I want to be your friend too."
+
+Lila and Ben were happy and surprised. They did not know octopuses could talk. They asked Ollie many questions about his life and his home. Ollie answered them and asked them questions too. They had a lot of fun talking and playing.
+
+Mom and dad watched them from the shore. They were amazed and proud. They did not know their children could make friends with an octopus. They smiled and clapped.
+
+"What a wonderful and noisy day," mom said.
+
+"Yes, indeed," dad said. "A day to remember."
+Tom was very hungry. He wanted to eat breakfast. He saw a sausage on the table. He liked sausages. He took the sausage and bit it. It was yummy.
+
+But Mom was not happy. She was grumpy. She said, "Tom, that sausage is not yours. That sausage is for Dad. You have to eat your toast and jam. Put the sausage back on the plate."
+
+Tom did not want to put the sausage back. He wanted to eat the sausage. He said, "No, Mom. I want the sausage. It is mine. I am hungry."
+
+Mom said, "No, Tom. You have to share. Sharing is good. You have to spread the jam on your toast and eat it. Then you can have a bite of the sausage. But only a bite. The rest is for Dad."
+
+Tom did not like sharing. He did not like jam. He did not like toast. He liked sausages. He was grumpy. He said, "No, Mom. I do not want to share. I do not want to spread. I do not want to eat toast and jam. I want the sausage. All of it."
+
+Mom was very angry. She said, "Tom, you are being naughty. You are being selfish. You have to listen to me. You have to do what I say. Or you will go to your room. No sausage. No breakfast. No toys. Do you understand?"
+
+Tom did not understand. He did not want to go to his room. He did not want to lose his sausage. He did not want to be naughty. He wanted to be good. He wanted to make Mom happy. He wanted to eat breakfast. He was sad. He said, "Sorry, Mom. I will share. I will spread. I will eat toast and jam. And I will give Dad the sausage. Please do not be angry. Please do not send me to my room. Please love me."
+
+Mom smiled. She said, "Tom, I love you. You are a good boy. You are learning to share. You are learning to spread. You are learning to eat toast and jam. And you are learning to be kind to Dad. I am proud of you. You can have a bite of the sausage. And a hug. And a kiss. And a toy. And breakfast. Do you want that?"
+
+Tom smiled. He said, "Yes, Mom. I want that. Thank you, Mom. I love you too." He gave Mom a hug and a kiss. He took a bite of the sausage. It was yummy. He spread the jam on his toast. It was not bad. He ate his breakfast. He was happy. And so was Mom. And so was Dad. And so was the sausage. The end.
+Lily and Max are playing in the park with their mom. They like to slide, swing and run. They are having fun.
+
+But then, Lily notices a big dog. The dog is barking and running. Lily is scared of the dog. She runs to her mom and hugs her. She says, "Mom, I don't like the dog. He is loud and fast."
+
+Mom says, "Don't worry, Lily. The dog is not bad. He is just excited. He wants to play, too. But he does not know how to play with you. He needs to learn to be patient and gentle. He has a leash and a owner. They will not let him hurt you. You are safe with me."
+
+Max is not scared of the dog. He likes animals. He says, "Mom, can I pet the dog? He is cute and fluffy. He looks friendly."
+
+Mom says, "Maybe, Max. But you have to ask the owner first. And you have to be careful and calm. The dog might not like strangers. You have to let him sniff you and see if he likes you. You have to be patient and respectful."
+
+Max nods and walks slowly to the dog. He says, "Hello, dog. What is your name? Can I pet you?" The owner says, "His name is Rex. He is a good boy, but he is very energetic. You can pet him, but be gentle and slow. He likes his ears and his belly."
+
+Max does what the owner says. He pets Rex softly and talks to him. Rex wags his tail and licks Max's face. Max laughs and says, "He likes me, Mom. He is a nice dog. Can we play with him?"
+
+Mom smiles and says, "Sure, Max. But only if Lily wants to, too. Do you want to play with Rex, Lily?"
+
+Lily looks at Max and Rex. She sees that they are happy and friendly. She feels less scared. She says, "OK, Mom. I will try. But can you stay with me?"
+
+Mom says, "Of course, Lily. I will stay with you. And Rex will be nice to you, too. He is a good dog. He just needs to learn to be patient and gentle. Just like you and Max."
+Tom is a beaver. He likes to eat wood. He finds wood near the river. He bites the wood with his big teeth. He makes a pile of wood.
+
+Tom wants to build a home. He takes the wood to the water. He puts the wood together. He makes a high wall. He makes a hole in the wall. He swims inside. He has a cozy home.
+
+One day, Tom hears a loud noise. He looks outside. He sees a big truck. The truck has a long arm. The arm has a claw. The claw grabs the wood. The truck takes the wood away.
+
+Tom is scared. He swims out of his home. He sees his pile of wood is gone. He sees his high wall is broken. He sees his hole is closed. He has no home.
+
+Tom is sad. He looks for more wood. He finds a small tree. He bites the tree. He hears a voice. He looks up. He sees a bird. The bird is angry. The bird says, "Stop! That is my home!"
+
+Tom is sorry. He says, "I am sorry, bird. I need wood. I have no home. The truck took my home."
+
+The bird is sorry, too. He says, "I am sorry, beaver. I did not know. The truck is bad. It takes many homes. It took my friends' homes, too."
+
+Tom and the bird are friends. They help each other. They find more wood. They build a new home. They make a high wall. They make a hole. They make a nest. They share the home. They are happy.
+Sara likes to collect rocks. She has a big box of rocks in her room. She finds rocks in the park, in the yard, and on the street. She likes rocks of different colors, shapes, and sizes.
+
+One day, Sara goes to the park with her mom and dad. She sees a lot of rocks on the ground. She runs to pick them up. She puts them in her pockets, in her hands, and in her hat. She is very happy.
+
+But Sara does not see the hole in the ground. She trips and falls. She hurts her leg. She cries. Her mom and dad run to her. They hug her and kiss her. They say, "It's okay, Sara. You will be fine."
+
+They take Sara to the car. They take her to the doctor. The doctor looks at her leg. He says, "You have a small cut. I will put a band-aid on it. It will heal soon." He gives her a sticker and a lollipop. He says, "You are very brave, Sara."
+
+Sara smiles. She says, "Thank you, doctor." She shows him her rocks. She says, "Look, I collect rocks. They are very pretty." The doctor nods. He says, "They are very pretty, Sara. But they are also very messy. You have rocks in your pockets, in your hands, and in your hat. You should put them in a bag or a box next time."
+
+Sara says, "Okay, doctor. I will do that." She says goodbye to the doctor. She goes home with her mom and dad. She puts her rocks in her big box. She says, "I love my rocks. But I love my mom and dad more." They hug her and say, "We love you too, Sara." They are very proud of her.
+Lily was a frog who liked to spring. She could spring high and far, and she had fun with her friends. They would spring from leaf to leaf, or from rock to rock, or into the pond. Lily loved the pond, because it was wet and cool.
+
+One day, Lily saw a new frog in the pond. He was different from the other frogs. He had spots on his skin, and he had a long tail. Lily was curious, and she wanted to spring to him and say hello. But her friends said no. They said he was strange and bad, and they should stay away from him.
+
+Lily felt sad. She did not think he was strange or bad. She thought he was interesting and nice. She decided to spring to him anyway, and see what he was like. She said hello, and he said hello back. His name was Sam, and he was a tadpole. He told Lily that he was growing up, and soon he would lose his tail and get legs. He said he liked to spring too, but he could not spring very high or far yet.
+
+Lily and Sam became friends. They played and talked, and they learned from each other. Lily taught Sam how to spring better, and Sam taught Lily about the pond and the other animals. They had fun, and they did not care what the other frogs said.
+
+The other frogs saw Lily and Sam, and they were angry. They said Lily was silly and wrong, and they should not be friends with a different frog. They tried to make Lily and Sam go away, or stop playing. They were mean and rude.
+
+Lily and Sam did not listen to them. They knew they were good friends, and they did not judge each other by how they looked. They knew that being different was not bad, but good. They knew that they could learn and grow from each other. They knew that they were happy and kind.
+
+The moral of the story is: do not judge someone by how they look, but by how they act. Be friendly and open to others who are different from you. You might find a good friend, and learn something new.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the kitchen. They liked to act like they were chefs and make yummy food. They used pots and pans and spoons and bowls. They pretended to cook eggs and soup and cake.
+
+"Here, try some of my soup," Lily said to Tom. She gave him a spoon with some water and salt. "It is very hot, be careful."
+
+Tom took the spoon and put it in his mouth. He made a face and spat it out. "Blech! That is not soup, that is cold and salty water!" he said. He did not like Lily's soup at all.
+
+Lily laughed. "It is only pretend soup, silly. You have to act like it is good. That is how you play chef."
+
+Tom did not think that was fun. He wanted to make something else. He looked around and saw a box of cake mix on the counter. He had an idea. He opened the box and poured some of the powder into a bowl. He added some water and stirred it with a spoon. He said, "I am making a cake. It will be sweet and soft and yummy."
+
+Lily was curious. She wanted to see Tom's cake. She came over and looked at the bowl. She saw a brown and sticky mess. She said, "That is not a cake, that is mud. You can't eat that, it will make you sick."
+
+Tom smiled. "It is only pretend cake, silly. You have to act like it is good. That is how you play chef."
+
+Lily did not think that was fun either. She wanted to play something else. She said, "Let's stop playing chef. This is boring. Let's play something else."
+
+Tom agreed. He said, "Okay, let's play something else. What do you want to play?"
+
+Lily thought for a moment. She said, "Let's play doctor. I will be the doctor and you will be the patient. You have a sore throat and I will give you some medicine."
+
+Tom nodded. He said, "Okay, let's play doctor. But what will you use for medicine?"
+
+Lily looked around and saw a bottle of ketchup on the table. She had an idea. She said, "I will use this. It is red and thick and good for you."
+
+Tom did not like the sound of that. He said, "No, no, no. I don't want ketchup. That is not medicine, that is sauce. You can't give me that, it will make me cough."
+
+Lily giggled. "It is only pretend medicine, silly. You have to act like it is good. That is how you play doctor."
+
+Tom did not think that was fun at all. He wanted to play something else. He said, "Let's stop playing doctor. This is silly. Let's play something else."
+
+Lily agreed. She said, "Okay, let's play something else. What do you want to play?"
+
+Tom thought for a moment. He said, "Let's play hide and seek. I will count and you will hide. Then I will find you."
+
+Lily liked that idea. She said, "Okay, let's play hide and seek. But don't peek."
+
+Tom said, "I won't peek. I will count to ten. One, two, three..."
+
+Lily ran away and looked for a good hiding spot. She saw a big closet and opened the door. She saw some coats and shoes and bags. She crawled inside and hid behind a coat. She said, "He will never find me here."
+
+Tom finished counting. He said, "Ten. Ready or not, here I come." He looked around and tried to find Lily. He checked under the table, behind the sofa, in the bathroom, but he could not find her. He said, "Where are you, Lily? I can't find you."
+
+Lily heard Tom's voice. She wanted to surprise him. She waited until he came near the closet. Then she jumped out and shouted, "Boo!"
+
+Tom was startled. He saw Lily and smiled. He said, "You scared me, Lily. You are very good at hiding."
+
+Lily smiled too. She said, "You are very good at counting, Tom. You are very smart."
+
+Tom and Lily hugged. They said, "We are very good at playing, Lily and Tom. We are very good friends."
+
+They decided to play hide and seek again. They had a lot of fun. They liked to play different games. They liked to act and pretend. They liked to use spoons and ketchup and cake mix. But most of all, they liked to play together.
+Jen and Ben are twins. They like to play in the park with their mom and dad. One day, they see a big fire in the sky. The fire is far away, but it makes a lot of smoke and ash. The ash is gray and black and it falls on the grass and the trees and the flowers.
+
+Jen and Ben are scared of the fire and the ash. They want to go home, but their mom and dad say they have to wait for the bus. The bus is late because of the fire and the ash. Jen and Ben struggle to breathe. They cough and sneeze and rub their eyes. They hug their mom and dad and cry.
+
+After a long time, the bus comes. Jen and Ben are happy to see the bus. They get on the bus with their mom and dad and go home. The bus driver is very nice. He gives them water and candy and tells them stories. He says the fire and the ash will go away soon and the park will be lovely again.
+
+Jen and Ben hope the bus driver is right. They miss the park and the grass and the trees and the flowers. They want to play in the park again and see the birds and the squirrels and the butterflies. They want to see the sun and the sky and the clouds. They want to see the lovely colors, not the gray and black ash.
+Ben liked to play with his toy cars. He had many cars of different colors and sizes. He liked to make them race and crash on the floor. One day, he found a shiny pin on the table. He thought it was a cool car part. He put it in his pocket and went to play.
+
+Mom was baking a cake in the kitchen. She needed a pin to test if the cake was done. She looked on the table, but she could not find the pin. She asked Ben if he had seen it. Ben said no. He did not want to give his car part to Mom. He ran to his room and hid the pin under his pillow.
+
+Later, Dad came home from work. He was very tall and wore a suit. He liked to hug Ben and play with him. He went to Ben's room and saw the toy cars on the floor. He picked one up and pretended to drive it. He said, "Vroom, vroom, this is a fast car!" He smiled at Ben and asked if he could join him.
+
+Ben was happy to see Dad. He said, "Yes, Dad, you can play with me. But be careful, some cars have sharp parts." He pointed to his pocket, where the pin was. He hoped Dad would not recognize the pin and take it away.
+
+Dad did not notice the pin. He lay down on the bed and put his head on the pillow. He said, "Let's have a nap first, then we can play more." He closed his eyes and relaxed. But then he felt something poke his ear. He opened his eyes and saw the pin sticking out of the pillow. He said, "Ouch, what is this?" He pulled out the pin and looked at it.
+
+Ben saw Dad holding the pin. He felt scared and guilty. He knew he had done something wrong. He said, "I'm sorry, Dad, I took the pin from the table. I thought it was a car part. I did not mean to hurt you." He started to cry.
+
+Dad was not angry. He was glad Ben told the truth. He said, "It's okay, Ben, I'm not hurt. But you should not take things that are not yours. And you should not play with pins. They are dangerous. They can hurt you or someone else. Do you understand?" He hugged Ben and wiped his tears.
+
+Ben nodded. He said, "I understand, Dad. I'm sorry, Mom. I will give the pin back to you. And I will not play with pins again. I will only play with cars." He smiled and hugged Dad back.
+
+Mom came to the room and saw them. She said, "What's going on here?" Dad showed her the pin and explained what happened. Mom said, "Thank you, Ben, for being honest and brave. I'm proud of you. And thank you, Dad, for being gentle and kind. I love you both." She kissed them and said, "The cake is ready. Let's go and have some." They all went to the kitchen and enjoyed the cake. Ben learned a lesson and had a happy day.
+Lily liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Anna. Anna had long hair and a pink dress. Lily liked to comb Anna's hair and change her dress. She had a box of clothes for Anna.
+
+One day, Lily found a roll of tape in her dad's drawer. She wondered what it was for. She decided to use it for Anna. She cut some tape and stuck it on Anna's hair. She made Anna a new hairstyle. She thought it looked nice.
+
+But when she tried to take the tape off, it was very hard. The tape pulled Anna's hair and made it messy. Lily felt sad. She had ruined Anna's hair. She wanted to fix it, but she didn't know how.
+
+She ran to her mom and showed her Anna. Mom saw the tape and the hair. She understood what happened. She hugged Lily and said, "Don't worry, sweetie. We can fix Anna's hair. We just need some scissors and a comb."
+
+Mom took Lily and Anna to the bathroom. She carefully cut the tape and the hair. She combed Anna's hair and made it smooth. She said, "Look, Lily. Anna has a new hairstyle. She has a short bob. It suits her. She looks fierce."
+
+Lily looked at Anna. She saw that Anna's hair was different, but still pretty. She smiled and said, "Thank you, mom. You are right. Anna looks fierce. I like her new hairstyle. I will be more careful with tape next time." She hugged Anna and mom. She was happy.
+Lisa and Tom were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big tent with a sign that said "Magic Show". They wanted to see the magic, but the tent was closed.
+
+"Let's sneak in and see what's inside," Tom said. He was brave and curious.
+
+"No, we can't. That's bad. We have to wait for the show to start," Lisa said. She was careful and polite.
+
+"Come on, don't be scared. I dare you to go with me," Tom said. He grabbed Lisa's hand and pulled her to the tent.
+
+They lifted a corner of the veil that covered the entrance and crawled inside. It was dark and quiet. They saw a table with a hat, a wand, and some cards. Tom picked up the wand and waved it.
+
+"Watch me, I'm a magician!" he said.
+
+Suddenly, a loud voice boomed from behind them.
+
+"Who are you? What are you doing here?" It was the real magician, who had been resting in a corner. He was angry and surprised.
+
+Lisa and Tom were scared and sorry. They dropped the wand and ran out of the tent. They apologized to the magician and promised to never do it again.
+
+The magician was kind and forgiving. He told them to come back later for the show and to enjoy the magic. He also taught them a lesson.
+
+"Magic is not something you can take or make without permission or practice. Magic is something you can learn and share with respect and wonder. If you want to be successful magicians, you have to work hard and be honest," he said.
+
+Lisa and Tom nodded and thanked him. They learned their lesson and decided to be good friends and good magicians. They waited for the show to start and watched the magic with awe and joy.
+Anna loved to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Lily. Lily had long hair, a pink dress and a smile. Anna liked to brush Lily's hair and make her talk. She pretended that Lily was her best friend.
+
+One day, Anna's big brother Tom came into her room. He was bored and wanted to play with Anna. But Anna did not want to play with Tom. She wanted to play with Lily. Tom did not care. He grabbed Lily from Anna's hands and ran away. He laughed and said, "Lily is mine now!"
+
+Anna was very sad and angry. She ran after Tom and tried to get Lily back. But Tom was faster and stronger. He threw Lily on the couch and jumped on her. He made Lily say silly things and pulled her hair. He disturbed Anna's game and hurt Lily.
+
+Anna cried and shouted, "Stop it, Tom! Give me Lily back! You are mean and bad!" She felt frustrated and helpless. She wished Tom would leave her alone. She wished Lily was safe and happy. She remembered how much fun she had with Lily before Tom came. She wanted that memory back.
+
+Mom heard Anna and Tom and came to see what was wrong. She saw Tom with Lily and Anna with tears. She was not happy. She scolded Tom and took Lily from him. She gave Lily back to Anna and hugged her. She said, "I'm sorry, Anna. Tom was wrong to disturb you and hurt Lily. He should apologize and say sorry. Lily is your doll and your friend. You can play with her as you like."
+
+Anna smiled and thanked Mom. She hugged Lily and kissed her. She said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I love you. You are my best friend." She felt better and happier. She forgot about Tom and his mean game. She remembered her good game and her good memory. She played with Lily again.
+Tim liked to ask questions. He asked his mom, his dad, his sister, and his teacher. He wanted to know everything. He asked about the sun, the moon, the stars, and the rain. He asked about the animals, the plants, the cars, and the trains. He asked about the books, the toys, the games, and the songs.
+
+One day, he saw a musician in the park. The musician had a guitar and a hat. He played songs and people gave him money. Tim wanted to ask him a question. He ran to the musician and said, "What is your name?"
+
+The musician did not like Tim. He was busy and he wanted money. He did not want to talk to a little boy. He said, "My name is none of your business. Go away and leave me alone."
+
+Tim felt sad. He did not understand why the musician was so mean. He said, "I'm sorry. I just wanted to know your name. You play songs very well. Can you teach me how to play the guitar?"
+
+The musician was angry. He did not want to teach Tim anything. He said, "No, I can't teach you. You are too young and too foolish. You don't know anything about music. You are a waste of time. Go away and don't bother me again."
+
+Tim felt very sad. He did not want to be foolish. He wanted to learn music. He liked music. He said, "Please, please, please. I want to learn music. I want to be like you. Please teach me."
+
+The musician was very angry. He did not want to hear Tim anymore. He said, "Fine. I'll teach you. But you have to do exactly what I say. Do you understand?"
+
+Tim nodded. He was happy. He said, "Yes, yes, yes. I understand. Thank you, thank you, thank you."
+
+The musician said, "OK. The first thing you have to do is to put your head in this hat. Then you have to close your eyes and count to ten. Then you will learn music. Do you understand?"
+
+Tim nodded. He did not know why he had to put his head in the hat. But he trusted the musician. He said, "Yes, yes, yes. I understand. I will do it."
+
+He put his head in the hat. He closed his eyes. He started to count. "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten."
+
+But when he opened his eyes, the musician was gone. He had taken his guitar and his money and ran away. He had tricked Tim. He had lied to him. He had made him look foolish.
+
+Tim cried. He felt very bad. He had lost his chance to learn music. He had lost his trust in the musician. He had learned a hard lesson. He wished he had never asked him a question.
+Lily and Sam went to the museum with their mom and dad. They saw many things, like big bones, old pots, and shiny rocks. Lily liked the museum, but Sam thought it was boring. He wanted to play and run, not look and listen.
+
+Sam saw a door that said "Do not enter". He was curious. He wanted to see what was behind the door. He waited until mom and dad were busy talking to a lady. Then he sneaked away and opened the door. He saw a dark hallway with many boxes and wires. He thought it looked fun.
+
+Lily noticed that Sam was gone. She was scared. She told mom and dad that Sam was missing. They were worried. They asked the lady if she saw Sam. She said no. They looked around the museum, but they could not find him. They called his name, but he did not answer.
+
+Sam walked along the hallway. He saw a big switch on the wall. He wondered what it did. He pulled the switch. He heard a loud noise. He saw sparks and smoke. He felt a shock. He screamed.
+
+The noise and the smoke set off the alarm. The museum people came running. They saw Sam lying on the floor. He was not moving. He was hurt. They called for help. They carried him out of the door. They saw mom and dad and Lily. They were crying. They were sorry. They were too late.
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play outside. One day, they see a big truck on the road. The truck is loud and fast. It has many colors and lights.
+
+"Wow, look at the truck!" Lily says. She runs to the road. She wants to see the truck better.
+
+"Stop, Lily, stop!" Ben says. He is scared. The road is not safe. There are many cars and bikes. They can hurt Lily. He runs after her.
+
+Lily does not listen. She is too excited. She gets to the road. She blinks. The truck is very close. It honks. Lily is scared. She freezes.
+
+Ben gets to the road. He grabs Lily. He pulls her back. They fall on the grass. The truck passes by. It is gone.
+
+Lily and Ben are safe. But they are dirty and hurt. They cry. Mom hears them. She comes outside. She sees them on the grass. She is angry and worried.
+
+"What are you doing on the road?" Mom says. "The road is not for playing. The road is dangerous. You are stupid. You could have been hit by the truck. You could have died."
+
+Lily and Ben are sorry. They hug Mom. They say they are sorry. They say they will not go on the road again. Mom hugs them back. She says she loves them. She says they are not stupid. They are brave and smart. But they have to be careful. She takes them inside. She cleans them and kisses them. She gives them cookies and milk. They are happy. They say they love Mom. They say they love the truck. But they will only watch it from far away.
+Sara and Ben were twins who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a chubby man with a big bag. He was digging in the ground with a shovel.
+
+"What are you doing?" Sara asked.
+
+"I'm looking for gold," the man said. "Gold is shiny and pretty and makes me rich."
+
+"Can we help you?" Ben asked.
+
+"Sure, why not. But you have to be quiet and careful. Gold is hard to find and easy to lose," the man said.
+
+Sara and Ben were excited. They took turns using the shovel and the bag. They dug and dug and dug. They hoped to find gold.
+
+After a while, they heard a loud beep. The man had a device that could tell if there was gold nearby. He pointed it at the hole they had dug.
+
+"Look, we found it! We found gold!" he shouted.
+
+He reached into the hole and pulled out a shiny coin. He smiled and put it in his bag.
+
+"Wow, that's amazing!" Sara said.
+
+"Can we see it?" Ben asked.
+
+"Sorry, kids, this is mine. You can't touch it. But you can have this," the man said.
+
+He gave them each a candy bar from his bag.
+
+"Thank you, mister," Sara and Ben said.
+
+They ate the candy and watched the man dig some more. They thought he was lucky to find gold. But they were happy to have candy. They liked candy more than gold.
+Lily and Sam were playing with their toy cars in the living room. They liked to imagine that they were racing drivers, zooming around the track and passing other cars. Sometimes they made loud noises with their mouths, like vroom and screech.
+
+"Look, I'm winning!" Sam said, holding his red car in front of Lily's blue one.
+
+"No, you're not!" Lily said, trying to catch up. "I'm faster than you!"
+
+They ran around the couch, pretending it was a big stadium with lots of people watching them. They waved to the crowd and smiled.
+
+"Wow, this is so fun!" Lily said. "I wish we could go to a real stadium someday."
+
+"Me too," Sam said. "Maybe we can ask Mom and Dad for our birthday."
+
+They stopped playing and looked at each other. Their birthdays were only a week apart, and they always celebrated together. They wondered what kind of present they would get this year.
+
+"Maybe they will give us tickets to a real race!" Sam said, his eyes shining.
+
+"Or maybe they will give us new cars!" Lily said, her voice excited.
+
+They hugged each other and giggled. They loved their Mom and Dad. They were very generous and always gave them nice things. They decided to make them a card to say thank you. They got some paper and crayons and started to draw. They drew a big stadium with lots of cars and people. They wrote their names and "We love you" on the card. They were very proud of their work.
+
+They ran to the kitchen, where Mom and Dad were making dinner. They showed them the card and said, "This is for you! Thank you for being the best Mom and Dad ever!"
+
+Mom and Dad smiled and hugged them. They looked at the card and said, "This is beautiful! Thank you for being the best Lily and Sam ever!"
+
+They kissed them and said, "We have a surprise for you. We got you tickets to a real race! We're going to the stadium next weekend!"
+
+Lily and Sam gasped and jumped up and down. They couldn't believe it. They were going to see real cars and real drivers and real people. They were so happy and grateful. They thanked Mom and Dad again and again. They couldn't wait for their birthday. They imagined how much fun they would have at the stadium.
+Tim and Sam like to play ball in the park. They have a big ball and a small pitch. They take turns to kick the ball and run after it. They have fun and laugh a lot.
+
+One day, a big dog comes to the park. He sees the ball and wants to play too. He runs to the pitch and grabs the ball with his teeth. He shakes the ball and makes it dirty. Tim and Sam are scared and angry. They shout at the dog and try to get the ball back.
+
+But the dog is stronger and faster than them. He runs away with the ball and does not listen. He goes to the road and crosses it. A car is coming fast and does not see the dog. There is a loud noise and a scream. The ball flies in the air and lands on the grass. The dog does not move.
+
+Tim and Sam run to the road and see the dog. He is hurt and bleeding. They feel sorry and sad. They cry and hug each other. They wish they had been more tidy and put the ball away. They wish they had not played on the pitch. They wish the dog had not come to the park. They wish they could change what happened. But they can't. The end.
+Timmy was sick. He had a cough and a fever. Mommy said he had to take medicine to feel better. She gave him a spoon with a red liquid. Timmy did not like it. It was bitter and yucky.
+
+"No, Mommy, no!" Timmy cried. He spit out the medicine. He ran away from Mommy. He hid under his bed.
+
+Mommy was angry. She looked for Timmy. She found him under his bed. She pulled him out. She held him tight. She tried to give him the medicine again.
+
+"Please, Timmy, please!" Mommy said. "You need the medicine. It will help you. Don't be scared. It's not bad."
+
+Timmy was confused. He did not understand why Mommy wanted him to take the medicine. He did not want to take it. He was scared. He kicked and screamed. He pushed Mommy away.
+
+Mommy was sad. She let go of Timmy. She sighed. She put the medicine away. She left Timmy alone.
+
+Timmy was happy. He thought he won. He did not have to take the medicine. He crawled back under his bed. He smiled.
+
+But Timmy was still sick. He did not get better. He got worse. His cough and fever got stronger. He felt pain and tired. He wished he had taken the medicine. He wished Mommy would come back. He cried. But Mommy did not hear him. She was too busy. She had to take care of his baby sister. She had to take her to the doctor. She had to give her medicine. She did not want her to be sick like Timmy. She did not want to lose her. She did not want to lose Timmy too. But she did.
+Once upon a time, there was a big rock. The rock was very heavy, and it never moved. But one day, a little boy came and leaned against the rock. He pushed and pushed, but the rock didn't move. 
+
+The little boy was sad. He wanted to move the rock, but he couldn't. Then, a rich man came by and saw the little boy. He asked, "Why are you sad?" The little boy said, "I want to move this rock, but it's too heavy." 
+
+The rich man said, "I will help you." He leaned against the rock too, and together they pushed and pushed. Finally, the rock moved! The little boy was so happy. He thanked the rich man and they became friends. From that day on, whenever the little boy saw the rock, he remembered how the rich man helped him.
+Once upon a time, there was a little hedgehog named Spike. Spike was very spiky and had lots of sharp spikes on his back. One day, Spike was walking in the forest when he saw a little bird who had fallen out of her nest. The bird was very sad and scared because she couldn't fly back up to her nest. 
+
+Spike knew he had to help the little bird. He used his intelligent brain to think of a plan. He decided to climb up the tree and save the bird. Spike carefully climbed up the tree and gently put the bird back in her nest. The little bird was very happy and chirped a thank you to Spike.

+The next day, Timmy went on an adventure in the forest. He saw a wild rabbit that hopped quickly away from him. As he walked deeper into the forest, he saw a path that seemed to lead somewhere special. He followed the path and soon he came across a clearing.
+
+In the middle of the clearing stood a tall tree with a swing hanging from its branches. Timmy jumped on the swing and swung high into the sky. He looked up and saw the same bright star he had seen the night before. It was as if the star had led him to this magical place. Timmy smiled and knew that he would always remember this special adventure.
+Once upon a time, there was a horse named Brownie. Brownie lived in a big house called a stable. Brownie loved to run and play with his horse friends. One day, Brownie saw his friend, Blackie, getting lots of attention from the humans. Brownie felt jealous because he wanted attention too. 
+
+So, Brownie went to his human friend and asked if he could write a letter to his horse friends. The human friend said yes and Brownie wrote a letter inviting all his horse friends to come play with him in the stable. 
+
+When Brownie's horse friends came to play, he was so happy. They ran and played together all day long. Brownie realized that he didn't need to be jealous because he had lots of friends who loved him. From that day on, Brownie was never jealous again and he wrote lots of letters to his horse friends inviting them to play in the stable.
+Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Timmy. He loved to play outside with his friends. One day, they decided to play a game of tag. Timmy was running so fast that he didn't notice a big tire in front of him. He tripped and fell down. 
+
+Timmy's friends laughed and ran away, leaving him alone. Timmy was sad and dizzy. He tried to stand up, but he couldn't. Suddenly, a big dog came running towards him. Timmy was scared and didn't know what to do. 
+
+But then, he remembered something his dad had told him. He reached out and grabbed the tire next to him. He used it to protect himself from the dog. The dog barked and tried to grab the tire, but Timmy held on tight. The dog eventually got tired and ran away. Timmy's friends came back and saw what had happened. They were proud of Timmy for being so brave. From that day on, they never left him alone again.
+Once upon a time, there was a boy named Timmy. Timmy loved to play in the park. He would run and jump and laugh. One day, he saw a blue bench. He sat on it and felt happy.
+
+Suddenly, a man came and told Timmy to leave the bench. Timmy didn't understand why. He shrugged his shoulders and got up. He walked away, feeling sad.
+
+Later that day, Timmy saw the man sitting on the bench. He was smoking a cigarette. Timmy didn't like that. Smoking is bad for you. He wanted to tell the man to stop, but he was scared. He shrugged his shoulders and walked away.
+
+The next day, Timmy saw the man again. This time, he was lying on the bench and didn't move. Timmy didn't know what to do. He went to get help, but it was too late. The man had died. Timmy felt very sad. He wished he had done something to help.
+Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to swim in the sea. One day, they go to the beach with their mom and dad. They see a big boat with many people on it. They want to go on the boat too.
+
+"Can we go on the boat, mom?" Tom asks.
+
+"No, Tom. The boat is not for us. It is for people who want to see sharks," mom says.
+
+"Sharks? What are sharks?" Sam asks.
+
+"Sharks are big fish with sharp teeth. They can bite and hurt people. They are not nice," mom says.
+
+Tom and Sam are scared of sharks. They do not want to see them. They stay close to the shore and play with the sand and the shells. They have fun.
+
+But some people on the boat are not smart. They want to touch the sharks. They throw food and water to them. They make them angry. The sharks swim closer and closer to the boat. They open their wide mouths and show their teeth.
+
+"Look, mom! The sharks are coming!" Tom shouts.
+
+"Get away from the boat, now!" mom yells.
+
+The people on the boat are in trouble. They scream and cry. They suffer. Some of them fall into the water. The sharks bite them. It is very bad.
+
+Tom and Sam are sad and scared. They hug their mom and dad. They are glad they are safe. They do not like sharks. They do not want to go on the boat ever. They learn a lesson. They respect the sea and the animals in it.
+Sara likes to play in the garden. She has many friends there. She has a red ball, a yellow duck, and a blue car. She also has a plant. Her plant is purple and has big leaves. Sara loves her plant.
+
+One day, Sara sees a new boy in the garden. He has a green hat and a brown dog. He looks sad. Sara wants to be his friend. She takes her plant and goes to him.
+
+"Hi, I am Sara. What is your name?" she asks.
+
+"I am Tom. I am new here. I have no friends," he says.
+
+Sara smiles. "You can be my friend. Do you like plants?" she asks.
+
+Tom nods. "Yes, I do. They are pretty and alive."
+
+Sara holds out her plant. "This is my plant. It is purple and has big leaves. It is my best plant. I want to introduce you to my plant. Can you say hello to my plant?"
+
+Tom looks at the plant. He likes it. It is purple and has big leaves. He says hello to the plant.
+
+"Hello, plant. You are purple and have big leaves. You are a nice plant. I am Tom. I am Sara's friend."
+
+The plant seems to smile. It moves its leaves a little. Sara and Tom laugh. They are happy. They have a new friend. They play with the plant and the ball and the duck and the car. They have fun in the garden.
+Tom and Lily are playing in the park. They see a big dog with a ball in its mouth. The dog is running and jumping. Tom and Lily observe the dog. They like the dog.
+
+"Can we pet the dog?" Lily asks Tom.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe we should ask the owner first," Tom says.
+
+They look around and see a man sitting on a bench. He is reading a book. He has a leash in his hand. The leash is attached to the dog.
+
+Tom and Lily walk towards the man. They have an urge to touch the dog. They think the dog is friendly and cute.
+
+"Excuse me, sir. Can we pet your dog?" Tom asks the man.
+
+The man looks up from his book. He smiles at Tom and Lily.
+
+"Sure, you can. His name is Max. He loves to play," the man says.
+
+Tom and Lily thank the man. They approach Max. They stroke his fur. They throw his ball. They laugh with him. Max wags his tail. He barks loud. He is happy.
+
+The man observes Tom and Lily. He is glad that they like his dog. He thinks they are polite and kind. He closes his book. He joins them in the game. They have fun together.
+Lily was a little bunny who loved to hop and play in the meadow. She liked to find flowers and grass and nibble on them. One day, she saw a shiny thing on the ground. She hopped closer to see what it was. It was a needle!
+
+"Ouch!" Lily cried, as the needle poked her paw. She felt a sharp pain and saw a drop of blood. She was very worried. She did not know what to do. She looked around for her mama, but she was too far away.
+
+"Help! Help!" Lily shouted, hoping someone would hear her. She heard a rustle in the bushes. She hoped it was not a fox or a snake. She was scared.
+
+"Who is there?" Lily asked, trembling.
+
+"It's me, Ben," a voice said. Ben was a friendly mouse who lived in the meadow. He came out of the bushes and saw Lily's paw.
+
+"Oh, Lily, what happened?" Ben asked, seeing the needle and the blood.
+
+"I found a needle and it hurt me," Lily said, sobbing.
+
+"Don't worry, Lily, I will help you," Ben said. He used his teeth to pull out the needle from Lily's paw. He licked the wound to clean it. He found a soft leaf and wrapped it around Lily's paw.
+
+"There, that should feel better," Ben said, smiling.
+
+"Thank you, Ben, you are very kind," Lily said, feeling relieved.
+
+"You are welcome, Lily, you are my friend," Ben said. He hugged Lily gently.
+
+"Let's go find your mama, she will be happy to see you," Ben said.
+
+"Okay, let's go," Lily said. She hopped along with Ben, holding his tail. She was glad she had a friend like Ben. She learned to be careful of needles and other things that could hurt her. She also learned to be thankful for friends who helped her.
+Sara liked to play in the garden. She liked to look at the flowers and the bugs. One day, she saw a caterpillar on a leaf. It was green and fuzzy and had many legs.
+
+"Hello, caterpillar," Sara said. "What are you doing?"
+
+The caterpillar looked at Sara and said, "I am eating. I need to eat a lot to gain a big belly. Then I can make a cocoon and become a butterfly."
+
+Sara was amazed. She wanted to see the caterpillar become a butterfly. She asked, "Can I watch you make a cocoon?"
+
+The caterpillar said, "Yes, but you have to be very quiet and careful. Do not touch me or the leaf. And do not let the birds see me. They like to eat caterpillars."
+
+Sara nodded. She sat on the grass and watched the caterpillar eat and eat. She saw it grow bigger and bigger. She saw it make a silky thread and wrap itself in a cocoon. She waited and waited.
+
+One day, the cocoon cracked open. A beautiful butterfly came out. It had wings of many colors. It fluttered in the air and landed on Sara's nose.
+
+"Hello, Sara," the butterfly said. "Thank you for watching me. Do you like my wings?"
+
+Sara smiled. She was very happy. She said, "Yes, I like your wings. They are pretty and shiny. You are not a caterpillar anymore. You are a butterfly."
+
+The butterfly said, "Yes, I am a butterfly. I have changed a lot. But you are still the same. You are still my friend."
+
+Sara hugged the butterfly gently. She said, "You are my friend, too. But you are filthy. You have dirt and dust on your wings. You need a bath."
+
+The butterfly laughed. It said, "No, I do not need a bath. This is not dirt and dust. This is magic. It helps me fly and hide from the birds. Do you want to see?"
+
+Sara nodded. The butterfly flew up and down and around. It showed Sara how it could blend in with the flowers and the sky. It made Sara giggle and clap.
+
+Sara and the butterfly played in the garden until the sun went down. Then they said goodbye and promised to meet again. Sara went inside and told her mom about her new friend. Her mom listened and smiled. She said, "That is a wonderful story, Sara. You are very lucky to have a friend like that. But you are filthy, too. You have dirt and grass on your clothes and hair. You need a bath."
+
+Sara laughed. She said, "No, I do not need a bath. This is not dirt and grass. This is magic. It helps me have fun and learn new things. Do you want to see?"
+
+Her mom hugged her and said, "Maybe later, Sara. Maybe later."
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park. The park was busy. There were many kids and dogs and birds. Lily and Ben liked to swing on the swings. They took turns to push each other.
+
+"Push me higher, Ben!" Lily said.
+
+"OK, Lily!" Ben said. He pushed her hard. Lily went very high. She felt like a bird.
+
+But then, something bad happened. Lily's hand slipped from the swing. She flew in the air. She screamed. Ben screamed too. Lily fell to the ground.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Lily cried. She hurt her knee. It was bleeding. Ben ran to her. He was scared.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily! I'm sorry!" Ben said. He hugged her. He tried to make her feel better.
+
+A lady came to help. She was a nurse. She had a bag with bandages and stickers. She cleaned Lily's knee and put a bandage on it. She gave Lily a sticker with a smiley face.
+
+"There, there. You'll be OK, Lily," the nurse said. "You were very brave."
+
+"Thank you, nurse," Lily said. She smiled a little. She still felt some pain, but she also felt happy. She had a nice brother and a nice nurse. And she had a sticker.
+
+"Can we go back to the swings?" Ben asked.
+
+"Maybe later, Ben," the nurse said. "Let's rest for a while."
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They sat on a bench. They watched the busy park. They held hands. They were glad they had each other.
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to explore. One day, they found a new place behind their house. It was a swamp. It had green water, brown mud, and many plants and animals.
+
+"Look, Lily, a frog!" Tom said, pointing to a small green creature that jumped into the water.
+
+"Can we catch it, Tom?" Lily asked, excited.
+
+They tried to catch the frog, but it was difficult. The water was deep and slippery, and the frog was fast and clever. They got wet and dirty, but they did not give up.
+
+"Come here, froggy, we just want to play!" Tom called, reaching his hand into the water.
+
+Suddenly, he felt something grab his hand. It was not the frog. It was a big snake. It had black and yellow stripes and sharp teeth. It hissed and coiled around Tom's arm.
+
+"Help, Lily, help!" Tom screamed, scared.
+
+Lily heard Tom's scream and saw the snake. She was scared too, but she wanted to help her brother. She picked up a big stick and hit the snake on the head. The snake let go of Tom's arm and slithered away.
+
+"Are you okay, Tom?" Lily asked, hugging her brother.
+
+"I'm okay, Lily, thanks to you. You are brave and strong," Tom said, smiling.
+
+They decided to leave the swamp and go back to their house. They told their mom and dad what happened. They were proud of their adventure, but they also learned to be careful. They never went to the swamp again.
+Lila and Sam were lost in the big sand. They were very thirsty and tired. They saw a green spot far away. "Maybe it is water and trees," Lila said. "Let's go there."
+
+They walked and walked, but the green spot did not get closer. Sam started to cry. "It is a lie. There is no water and trees. We will never find our way back."
+
+Lila hugged Sam. "Don't cry, Sam. We have to trust. Trust is when you believe that something good will happen. Maybe someone will help us. Maybe the green spot is real. We have to be flexible. Flexible is when you can change your mind and try new things. Maybe we can find another way."
+
+They heard a sound. It was a camel. The camel had a man on its back. The man saw Lila and Sam and came to them. He smiled and said, "Hello, little ones. Are you lost?"
+
+Lila and Sam nodded. The man gave them water and dates. He said, "I am Ali. I am going to the oasis. The oasis is a place with water and trees in the big sand. Do you want to come with me?"
+
+Lila and Sam looked at each other. They felt happy and hopeful. They said, "Yes, please. Thank you, Ali. You are very kind."
+
+Ali helped them on the camel. They rode together to the oasis. Lila and Sam saw water and trees. They also saw other people and animals. They played and laughed. They were safe and happy. They learned to trust and be flexible. They made a new friend. They found the oasis.
+Tim and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a bald man sitting on a bench. He has a big book and a hat.
+
+"Look, a bald man!" Tim says. "Let's throw something at him!"
+
+"No, that's not nice!" Sam says. "He did not do anything bad to us."
+
+But Tim does not listen. He picks up a plant from the ground. It has green leaves and yellow flowers. He throws it at the bald man.
+
+"Hey!" the bald man says. He is angry. He puts down his book and stands up. He picks up his hat and puts it on his head.
+
+"Who did that?" he says. He looks around. He sees Tim and Sam.
+
+"It was him!" Sam says. He points at Tim. "He threw the plant at you!"
+
+Tim is scared. He runs away. Sam follows him.
+
+"Sorry, mister!" Sam says. He feels bad.
+
+The bald man shakes his head. He sits down again. He opens his book. He tries to read. But he is still angry. He does not like Tim. He does not like plants. He does not like the park. He wishes he had more hair.
+One day, a boy named Tom went to the park with his mom. He saw a big slide and wanted to try it. But he was scared of the high ladder and the fast slide.
+
+"Mom, can you help me?" he asked.
+
+"Sure, Tom. I will hold your hand and we will go up together. You can gain courage and have fun," his mom said.
+
+They climbed the ladder slowly and reached the top. Tom looked down and saw a long, shiny slide. He felt nervous and excited.
+
+"Are you ready, Tom?" his mom asked.
+
+"Yes, mom. Let's go!" he said.
+
+They slid down together, feeling the wind and the thrill. Tom laughed and shouted with joy. He felt proud and happy.
+
+At the bottom, they saw an old man sitting on a bench. He had white hair and a kind smile. He clapped his hands and said, "Well done, Tom! You are very brave and strong. You gained a lot of fun today."
+
+Tom smiled and said, "Thank you, sir. You are very nice and wise. You gained a lot of friends today."
+
+Tom and his mom waved to the old man and went to play some more. They had a wonderful day at the park.
+Sara and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. Sara had a fake sword that she liked to swing around. Ben had a stuffed lion that he liked to hug. Sara wanted to play knights and dragons, but Ben wanted to play zoo.
+
+"Come on, Ben, let's pretend that your lion is a dragon and I have to save you with my sword!" Sara said.
+
+"No, Sara, I don't want to play that. My lion is not a dragon, he is my friend. And your sword is not real, it is fake. It can't hurt anyone," Ben said.
+
+Sara was angry. She wanted to show Ben that her sword was not fake. She swung it at his lion and tried to cut it. But the sword was not sharp enough to cut the lion. It only made a scratch on its fur.
+
+"Hey, stop that! You are hurting my lion!" Ben shouted. He grabbed his lion and ran away from Sara.
+
+Sara felt bad. She did not mean to hurt Ben's lion. She wanted to say sorry, but Ben did not want to talk to her. He went to his room and closed the door.
+
+Sara sat on the floor and looked at her sword. She realized that it was not a good toy. It was fake and it could not do anything. She wished she had a real sword that was sharp and shiny. Maybe then Ben would play with her.
+
+She heard her mom calling from the kitchen. "Sara, Ben, lunch is ready! Come and eat!"
+
+Sara got up and put her sword away. She hoped that Ben would come out of his room and eat with her. She hoped that he would forgive her and play with her again. She hoped that lunch would make them happy.
+Lily was a lonely flower. She lived in a big garden with many other flowers, but they did not talk to her. They said she was too small and too plain. Lily wished she could grow big and beautiful like them.
+
+One day, a kind lady came to the garden. She saw Lily and smiled. She said, "You are a lovely flower. You have a special cap that protects you from the sun and the rain. Do you know what kind of flower you are?"
+
+Lily shook her head. She did not know.
+
+"You are a poppy, my dear. And you have a secret. When the time is right, your cap will fall off and you will show your bright red petals to the world. You will be the most dazzling flower in the garden."
+
+Lily felt happy and hopeful. She thanked the kind lady and waited for her cap to fall off.
+
+The next morning, Lily felt a tickle on her head. She looked up and saw her cap was loose. She gave a gentle push and it fell to the ground. She felt a breeze on her face and opened her eyes. She gasped. She saw her red petals shining in the sun. She was beautiful.
+
+She heard the other flowers whispering and admiring her. They came closer and said hello. They asked her to join them and play. Lily smiled and nodded. She was not lonely anymore. She had friends.
+
+The moral of the story is: Don't judge a flower by its cap. Everyone has something special inside.
+Lila was a little girl who liked to play in the park. She liked to run and jump and swing and slide. She also liked to look for things on the ground, like rocks and sticks and leaves.
+
+One day, she found a very big leaf that was green and yellow and red. It was so pretty and soft. She wanted to keep it and show it to her mom. She picked it up and held it in her hand.
+
+But then, a big wind came and blew hard. It made the trees shake and the leaves fly. Lila felt the wind try to take her leaf away. She did not want to lose it. She wanted to protect it.
+
+She ran to a bench and sat down. She put the leaf on her lap and covered it with her coat. She hugged it tight and said, "Don't worry, leaf. I will not let the wind get you. You are safe with me."
+
+She waited until the wind stopped. Then, she looked at her leaf. It was still pretty and soft. But it had a small tear on the edge. It felt rough where the wind had hurt it. Lila felt sad for the leaf.
+
+She said, "I'm sorry, leaf. The wind was mean to you. But I still like you. You are my leaf. I will take you home and put you in a book. Then, you will not be rough anymore. You will be smooth and happy." She smiled and kissed the leaf. Then, she put it in her pocket and ran to find her mom.
+Anna and Ben are playing in the garden. They see a big mushroom under a tree. It is brown and white and soft.
+
+"Look, a mushroom!" Anna says. "Can we eat it?"
+
+"I don't know," Ben says. "Maybe it is not good for us."
+
+They go closer to the mushroom. They touch it with their fingers. It feels wet and squishy.
+
+"Yuck!" Anna says. "It is not nice. Let's pull it out."
+
+"OK," Ben says. "You pull one side and I pull the other side."
+
+They grab the mushroom and pull hard. But the mushroom does not come out. It is stuck in the ground.
+
+"Pull harder!" Anna says.
+
+They pull harder and harder. They make funny faces and noises. They pull so hard that they fall down on the grass.
+
+"Ouch!" Ben says. "That hurt."
+
+They look at the mushroom. It is still there. It is not moving.
+
+"Maybe it is a magic mushroom," Anna says. "Maybe it has a fairy inside."
+
+"Or a gnome," Ben says. "Or a worm."
+
+They get up and dust themselves off. They decide to leave the mushroom alone.
+
+"Let's go play something else," Anna says.
+
+"OK," Ben says. "But next time, let's find a smaller mushroom."
+It was a dark night and Lily was in bed. She heard a loud noise outside. It sounded like a big bang. She was scared and wanted her mom.
+
+She got out of bed and ran to the door. She opened it and saw bright lights in the sky. They were fireworks. They made different shapes and colors. She saw a green one that looked like a star.
+
+She was not scared anymore. She was happy and excited. She wanted to see more fireworks. She called her mom and dad. "Mom, dad, come and see the fireworks!" she shouted.
+
+Mom and dad came to the door. They saw Lily smiling and pointing at the sky. They smiled too and hugged her. They went outside and watched the fireworks together. They saw red ones, blue ones, yellow ones, and more green ones.
+
+Lily liked the green ones best. She clapped her hands and said, "Wow, look at the green fireworks! They are so pretty!" Mom and dad agreed. They said, "Yes, they are very pretty. And you are very brave, Lily. We are proud of you."
+
+They stayed outside until the fireworks were over. Then they went back inside and tucked Lily in bed. They kissed her good night and said, "We love you, Lily. Sweet dreams." Lily said, "I love you too, mom and dad. Thank you for the fireworks." She closed her eyes and fell asleep. She dreamed of green fireworks.
+Lily and Sam went to the park with Mom. They saw many things: trees, flowers, birds, swings, slides. They also saw a big statue of a man on a horse. Mom said the statue was very old and original. It was made a long time ago by a person who could do very good art.
+
+Lily and Sam wanted to see the statue closer. They ran to it and touched it. It was hard and cold. They looked at the man's face and the horse's tail. They wondered how the person who made it could do it so well.
+
+"Can we do a statue too?" Lily asked Mom.
+
+"Maybe," Mom said. "But we need something to do it with. What can we use?"
+
+Lily and Sam looked around. They saw some rocks, some sticks, some leaves, some mud. They picked some of them and started to do their own statues. They put them together and made shapes. Lily did a statue of a cat. Sam did a statue of a car.
+
+They showed their statues to Mom. Mom smiled and said they were very original and creative. She took a picture of them with their statues. Lily and Sam were happy. They liked to do art like the person who made the big statue. They said thank you to the person in their minds.
+Anna and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They had many toys, but they liked to share them with each other. They were generous friends.
+
+"Look, Anna, I have a train!" Ben said, showing her his red and blue toy. "It can go fast and make noise. Choo-choo!"
+
+"That's a nice train, Ben. Can I play with it too?" Anna asked, smiling.
+
+"Sure, Anna. You can play with my train. And I can play with your doll. She has a pretty dress and long hair. Hello, doll!" Ben said, taking the doll from Anna.
+
+They played happily for a while, until their mom came into the room. She looked at the clock and said, "Kids, it's time to go to bed. You have to sleep well and rest for tomorrow."
+
+"But mom, we're not tired. We want to play more!" Anna and Ben said, making sad faces.
+
+"I know, I know. But you have to go to bed now. It's good for you. And you can play again tomorrow. Come on, let's go to your room. I'll read you a story," mom said, gently picking up their toys and putting them in a basket.
+
+"Okay, mom. But can we take our toys to bed? They remind us of each other. And they make us happy," Anna and Ben said, holding their toys close to their chests.
+
+"Of course you can. That's very sweet of you. You're such good friends. And you're very generous with your toys. I'm proud of you," mom said, hugging them and leading them to their bed.
+
+She tucked them in, gave them a kiss, and read them a story. They listened with their eyes wide open, and then fell asleep with their toys in their arms. They dreamed of trains and dolls and playing together. They were happy.
+Tim and Sam are friends. They like to play with cars and trucks. They have many cars and trucks in their room. One day, they want to play outside. They take some cars and trucks and go to the road.
+
+The road is big and busy. Many cars and trucks go fast on the road. Tim and Sam do not see the cars and trucks. They only see their cars and trucks. They put their cars and trucks on the road and make noises. Vroom, vroom, beep, beep!
+
+A man sees Tim and Sam on the road. He is scared. He honks his horn and shouts. "Hey, kids, get off the road! It is dangerous!" But Tim and Sam do not hear him. They are deaf. They cannot hear the horn or the shout. They only hear their noises. Vroom, vroom, beep, beep!
+
+A big truck comes on the road. It is very fast and loud. It cannot stop. It hits Tim and Sam and their cars and trucks. Tim and Sam and their cars and trucks break. They are broken. They do not make noises anymore. The man cries. He is sad. He cannot help Tim and Sam. They are gone. The end.
+Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play with their toys. But they do not like to share. They always fight over who gets what.
+
+One day, they find a big hippo toy in the toy box. It is soft and gray and has a big mouth. Tom and Lily both want the hippo. They pull and tug and shout.
+
+"Mine!" Tom says. "I saw it first!"
+
+"No, mine!" Lily says. "I like it more!"
+
+They are very angry. They hate each other.
+
+But then, they hear a voice. It is the hippo. It can talk!
+
+"Stop it!" the hippo says. "You are hurting me!"
+
+Tom and Lily are surprised. They let go of the hippo.
+
+"Who are you?" Tom asks.
+
+"I am Hippy, the clever hippo," the hippo says. "I can talk and sing and tell jokes. But I do not like to be fought over. I want to be loved and played with nicely."
+
+Tom and Lily feel sorry. They did not know the hippo was clever. They did not mean to hurt it.
+
+"Sorry, Hippy," Tom says.
+
+"Sorry, Hippy," Lily says.
+
+"Can we be your friends?" they ask.
+
+"Of course," Hippy says. "But you have to share me. And you have to share your other toys too. Sharing is caring."
+
+Tom and Lily nod. They agree to share. They hug the hippo. They hug each other.
+
+They are not angry anymore. They do not hate each other. They love each other.
+
+And they love Hippy, the clever hippo.
+Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play with paint. They have many colors of paint. They have red, blue, yellow, green, and more. They have brushes and paper too.
+
+One day, they decide to make a huge painting. They find a big wall in the park. They ask their moms if they can paint on the wall. Their moms say yes, but they have to be careful and clean.
+
+Sara and Ben start to paint on the wall. They make shapes and animals and flowers. They mix the colors and make new ones. They have fun and laugh.
+
+"Look, Ben, I made a sun!" Sara says. She paints a big yellow circle with orange rays.
+
+"Wow, Sara, your sun is huge and bright!" Ben says. He paints a blue sky around the sun.
+
+"Look, Sara, I made a bird!" Ben says. He paints a small red bird with black wings.
+
+"Wow, Ben, your bird is cute and fast!" Sara says. She paints a green tree for the bird.
+
+They paint more and more. They fill the wall with their painting. They are happy and proud.
+
+Their moms come to see their painting. They are amazed and proud too.
+
+"Wow, Sara and Ben, you made a huge painting!" their moms say. "You are very good at painting!"
+
+"Thank you, moms!" Sara and Ben say. "We like to paint. We know how to paint!"
+Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play together. One day, they found a big box in the basement. It was open and had many old things inside.
+
+"Look, Ben, a hat!" Lily said, putting a floppy hat on her head.
+
+"And a book!" Ben said, picking up a book with pictures.
+
+They took out more things and made a pile. They saw a doll, a ball, a scarf, a car, and a map.
+
+"What is this?" Lily asked, holding the map.
+
+"It is a map of the world," Ben said. "It shows where people live and where they go."
+
+"Wow, that is cool. Can we go there?" Lily asked, pointing to a place on the map.
+
+"Maybe someday," Ben said. "But we need a plane or a boat."
+
+They looked at the map and imagined all the places they could see. They discussed what they would do and who they would meet.
+
+They did not notice that the sky was getting dark and gloomy. Soon, it started to rain and thunder.
+
+"Uh-oh, we have to go back," Ben said, hearing the noise.
+
+"Yes, let's go," Lily said, feeling scared.
+
+They quickly put the things back in the box and ran upstairs. They closed the basement door and hugged each other.
+
+"Are you okay?" Ben asked.
+
+"Yes, I am okay. Are you?" Lily asked.
+
+"Yes, I am okay. That was fun," Ben said.
+
+"Yes, it was. But I don't like the rain and the thunder," Lily said.
+
+"Me neither. Let's go to our room and play with our toys," Ben said.
+
+"Okay, let's go," Lily said.
+
+They held hands and went to their room. They were happy to have each other and their toys. They forgot about the gloomy weather and the big box.
+Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They make sounds like vroom and beep when they move the cars.
+
+One day, Tom has a new car. It is big and red and shiny. It has a button that can change the speed of the car. Tom shows Sam his new car and says, "Look, this car is fast and cool. It can go slow or fast. Watch this!" He presses the button and the car zooms away.
+
+Sam is confused. He does not have a car that can change the speed. He wants to try Tom's car. He says, "Can I play with your car, Tom? Please, please, please?" Tom says, "No, this is my car. You can play with your cars. They are boring and slow." He presses the button again and the car zooms back.
+
+Sam is sad and angry. He thinks Tom is mean and selfish. He waits for Tom to look away. Then he grabs Tom's car and runs away. He says, "Ha ha, now I have your car. It is mine now. You can't catch me." He presses the button and the car zooms away.
+
+Tom is shocked and mad. He says, "Hey, give me back my car, Sam. That is not fair. You are a bad friend." He runs after Sam and tries to get his car back. But Sam is too fast and the car is too fast. Tom can't catch up.
+
+Sam laughs and presses the button again and again. He likes to change the speed of the car. He does not see where he is going. He does not see the big truck that is coming. The truck is loud and scary. It honks and brakes. But it is too late. Sam and the car are hit by the truck. They are smashed and broken. Sam does not laugh anymore. He does not feel anything anymore. He is gone.
+
+Tom sees what happens. He stops and screams. He cries and cries. He says, "No, no, no, Sam, Sam, Sam. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I want you back. I don't want the car. I want you." But Sam does not hear him. Sam does not come back. Tom is alone and sad. He wishes he had shared his car. He wishes he had been a good friend. He wishes he could change what happened. But he can't. The end.
+Lily and Sam were playing in the park. They liked to swing on the big swings. They pushed each other and laughed.
+
+"Look, Sam, there is a symbol on the swing," Lily said. She pointed to a sticker with a red circle and a line. "What does it mean?"
+
+Sam shrugged. He did not know. He tried to peel off the sticker. It was sticky and hard.
+
+"Stop, Sam, you are not supposed to do that," Lily said. She was angry. She liked to follow the rules. "The symbol means no. It means you cannot do something."
+
+Sam did not care. He wanted to see what was under the sticker. He pulled harder and harder. The sticker ripped and the swing broke. It made a loud noise.
+
+"Oh no, Sam, you broke the swing!" Lily cried. She was scared. She thought they would get in trouble.
+
+Sam was sorry. He did not mean to break the swing. He wished he had listened to Lily. He hugged her and said, "I'm sorry, Lily, I was silly. Let's go and tell the teacher what happened."
+
+Lily nodded. She was still angry, but she forgave Sam. She hugged him back and said, "It's okay, Sam, we all make mistakes. Let's go and say sorry to the teacher."
+Lily and Sam were playing in the park. They liked to run, jump and slide on the grass and the swings. They saw a big bench near a tree. The bench was very tidy. Someone had painted it blue and white and put some flowers on it.
+
+"Let's sit on the bench," Lily said. "It looks nice and cozy."
+
+"OK," Sam said. "But we have to be careful. We don't want to make it dirty or break it."
+
+They climbed on the bench and sat down. They looked at the sky and the birds. They felt happy and warm.
+
+Suddenly, they heard a loud voice. It was Mr. Brown, the park keeper. He was angry and red.
+
+"Hey, you two! Get off that bench right now!" he shouted. "That bench is not for children. It is for the mayor. He is coming to visit the park today. He wants to see how tidy and beautiful it is. You are ruining it with your shoes and hands. Go away!"
+
+Lily and Sam were scared and sad. They did not want to make Mr. Brown or the mayor unhappy. They did not know the bench was special. They just wanted to have fun.
+
+"Sorry, Mr. Brown," Lily said. "We didn't mean to be bad. We like the bench. It is very pretty."
+
+"Sorry, Mr. Brown," Sam said. "We will go now. We will not touch the bench again."
+
+They got off the bench and ran away. They felt sorry for themselves and for the bench. They wished they could sit on it again.
+
+They found another bench near the pond. It was not as tidy or as colorful as the first one. It was old and gray and had some cracks on it. But it was still a bench. And it was still a place to sit and rest and talk.
+
+They climbed on the bench and sat down. They looked at the water and the ducks. They felt happy and warm again.
+
+They raised their hands and waved at the first bench. They hoped the mayor would like it too. They hoped he would not be angry or red. They hoped he would be nice and cozy.
+Anna likes math. She likes to count and add and take away. She has a math book with many pictures and problems. She likes to do the problems with her mom or dad.
+
+One day, Anna goes to school. She has a new math teacher, Mr. Lee. Mr. Lee is tall and kind. He smiles a lot and helps the kids. Anna is happy to learn math with Mr. Lee.
+
+But Mr. Lee is clumsy. He drops his pen and his book and his glasses. He trips on the rug and spills his water. He makes funny noises and faces. The kids laugh and giggle. Anna laughs too, but she feels sorry for Mr. Lee.
+
+Mr. Lee does not seem to mind. He says he is sorry and tries again. He says he likes math, but he is not good at other things. He says he is happy to teach the kids and learn from them.
+
+Anna thinks Mr. Lee is a good teacher. She thinks he is brave and funny and smart. She thinks he is not clumsy, he is just different. She likes him and his math. She gives him a hug and a smile. Mr. Lee hugs her back and thanks her. He says she is a good student. He says he likes her and her math.
+Anna liked to play with her dolls on Tuesday. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Lily. Lily had long yellow hair and a pink dress. Anna thought Lily was very attractive.
+
+One day, Anna and Lily went outside to play in the garden. It was sunny and warm. Anna saw a big puddle of water. She wanted to splash in it. She took off her shoes and socks and ran to the puddle. She jumped and laughed.
+
+"Come on, Lily, it's fun!" Anna said to her doll. She held Lily in her arms and jumped again. But Lily did not like the water. She felt wet and cold. Her hair and dress got dirty. She wanted to be dry and clean.
+
+"Anna, stop! I don't like this!" Lily said to Anna. She tried to get away from the puddle. But Anna did not hear her. She was having too much fun.
+
+"Anna, Anna!" Lily cried. She was sad and angry. She wished Anna would listen to her.
+
+Then, Anna's mom came outside. She saw Anna and Lily in the puddle. She was not happy.
+
+"Anna, what are you doing?" she asked. "You are all wet and dirty. And so is Lily. She is your favorite doll. You should take care of her."
+
+Anna looked at Lily. She saw her wet hair and dirty dress. She felt sorry for Lily. She realized she had been mean to her.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily," Anna said. "I didn't mean to hurt you. I just wanted to have fun. But you didn't like it. I should have listened to you."
+
+She hugged Lily and said, "You are still my favorite doll. You are still very attractive. I will make you dry and clean. I will be nice to you."
+
+Anna's mom smiled. She said, "That's good, Anna. I'm glad you learned your lesson. Now, let's go inside and change your clothes. And let's wash Lily and make her dry and pretty again."
+
+Anna nodded. She took Lily and followed her mom. She hoped Lily would forgive her. She wanted to be her friend again.
+Tom and Lily were playing with their blocks on Wednesday. They liked to build towers and houses and bridges with the blocks. They had many colors and shapes of blocks.
+
+But then, their big brother Ben came into the room. He was bored and wanted to have some fun. He saw the blocks and had an idea. He ran to the blocks and kicked them hard. He destroyed the towers and houses and bridges. The blocks flew everywhere.
+
+Tom and Lily were very sad and angry. They shouted at Ben. "Why did you do that? You are mean! You destroyed our blocks!"
+
+Ben laughed and said, "It was fun! I like to destroy things. You are babies. You cry over blocks."
+
+Tom and Lily felt anxious. They did not like Ben. They wanted to stop him from destroying more things. They looked around and saw their mom's vase on the table. They had an idea. They ran to the vase and pushed it off the table. It fell to the floor and broke into pieces.
+
+Ben was shocked and scared. He knew mom liked the vase. He knew he would be in trouble. He said, "What did you do? You are naughty! You destroyed mom's vase!"
+
+Tom and Lily smiled and said, "It was fun! We like to destroy things. You are a bully. You deserve it."
+
+Then, they heard mom coming. They ran to their room and hid under the bed. Ben stayed in the living room and waited for mom. He felt anxious. He wished he had not destroyed the blocks.
+Lila and Tom were playing in the park with their toy cars and dolls. They liked to pretend they were on a big adventure in the jungle. They made noises like lions and monkeys and birds.
+
+"Look, Tom, there is a big gorilla!" Lila said, pointing to a distant hill. She saw a dark shape moving behind the trees.
+
+"Wow, let's go see it!" Tom said, grabbing his car. He liked gorillas. They were big and strong and furry.
+
+They ran towards the hill, leaving their dolls behind. They hoped the gorilla would be friendly and let them play with him.
+
+But when they got closer, they realized it was not a gorilla at all. It was a man with a big hat and a big spoon. He was stirring a big pot over a fire. He looked angry and mean.
+
+"Hey, you kids, get away from here!" he shouted. "This is my soup, and you can't have any!"
+
+Lila and Tom were scared. They did not like the man or his soup. They turned around and ran back to the park. They picked up their dolls and hugged them.
+
+"Let's play somewhere else," Lila said. "That was not a fun adventure."
+
+Tom nodded. He agreed. He did not want to see the man or his soup again.
+
+They decided to play on the swings instead. They liked the swings. They made them feel happy and free. They forgot about the distant gorilla and the angry man. They had fun.
+Sara and Tom were playing with their crayons and paper. They liked to draw animals and flowers and cars. Sara was drawing a big red pepper, because she liked to eat peppers. Tom was drawing a blue fish, because he liked to swim.
+
+"Look at my pepper!" Sara said to Tom. "It is very pretty and shiny. Do you like it?"
+
+Tom looked at Sara's pepper. He did not like it. He thought it was boring and ugly. He wanted to make Sara feel bad. He was very rude.
+
+"I don't like your pepper," Tom said to Sara. "It is not pretty and shiny. It is silly and dumb. Watch this!"
+
+Tom took his black crayon and made a big mark on Sara's pepper. He drew a line across it and made a face with a tongue sticking out. He laughed and said, "Now your pepper is funny and silly!"
+
+Sara saw what Tom did to her pepper. She felt very sad and angry. She liked her pepper and she worked hard to draw it. She did not think it was funny or silly. She thought it was mean and nasty.
+
+"Tom, you are very rude!" Sara said to Tom. "You ruined my pepper! You are not my friend! Go away!"
+
+Sara took her paper and crayons and ran to the other side of the room. She did not want to play with Tom anymore. She wanted to find a new friend who would be nice and kind.
+Anna and Ben are at the beach with Mom and Dad. They like to play in the sand and look for shells. Sometimes they see fish and crabs in the water. Anna and Ben are hungry and thirsty. Mom says they can have some shrimp and juice for lunch.
+
+"Shrimp are yummy!" Anna says. She picks up a pink one and puts it in her mouth.
+
+"Shrimp are icky!" Ben says. He does not like shrimp. He likes cheese and bread. He makes a face and pushes his plate away.
+
+"Ben, you have to try new things. Shrimp are good for you. They have protein and vitamins," Mom says. She tries to give Ben a shrimp.
+
+"No, thank you, Mom. I want cheese and bread," Ben says. He shakes his head.
+
+"OK, Ben. How about some juice then? You need to drink something. It is hot today," Mom says. She pours some juice in a cup and gives it to Ben.
+
+"Thank you, Mom. I like juice," Ben says. He takes the cup and drinks some juice. He feels better.
+
+Anna finishes her shrimp and juice. She sees something shiny in the sand. She runs to get it. It is a broken shell. It has pretty colors and patterns.
+
+"Look, Mom! Look, Ben! I found a broken shell. It is so pretty!" Anna says. She shows them her shell.
+
+"Wow, Anna! That is a beautiful shell. It looks like a rainbow," Mom says. She smiles at Anna.
+
+"Can I see, Anna?" Ben says. He is curious about the shell.
+
+"Sure, Ben. Here you go," Anna says. She gives the shell to Ben.
+
+Ben looks at the shell. He likes the colors and patterns too. He says sorry to Anna.
+
+"Sorry, Anna. I was wrong. Shrimp are not icky. They are yummy. They make your shell look pretty," Ben says.
+
+Anna hugs Ben. She is happy that he likes her shell and shrimp.
+
+"That's OK, Ben. I'm glad you like them. Maybe next time you can try some shrimp with me," Anna says.
+
+"Maybe, Anna. Maybe," Ben says.
+
+Mom and Dad watch Anna and Ben. They are proud of them. They love them very much. They have a nice day at the beach.
+Lily and Max were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big tree with many acorns on the ground. Lily wanted to pick up an acorn and keep it.
+
+"Look, Max, an acorn!" Lily said. "It is brown and round and hard. Can I have it?"
+
+Max shook his head. "No, Lily, you can't have it. The acorn belongs to the tree. The tree needs it to grow more trees. You can't take it away."
+
+Lily was sad. She really liked the acorn. She thought it was pretty and fun. She did not want to hurt the tree, but she wanted to have the acorn.
+
+"Please, Max, please let me have it. Just one acorn. I will be very careful with it. I will not break it or lose it. Please, Max, please!" Lily begged.
+
+Max was impatient. He did not like to argue with Lily. He wanted to play more games. He looked at the acorn and then at Lily. He sighed.
+
+"Okay, Lily, okay. I will permit you to have one acorn. But only one. And you have to ask the tree first. The tree is alive and has feelings. You have to be polite and say thank you."
+
+Lily was happy. She smiled and hugged Max. She ran to the tree and touched its bark. She said in a soft voice, "Hello, tree. You are very big and strong and beautiful. I like your acorns. Can I have one, please? I will not hurt you or your acorns. I will keep it as a treasure. Thank you, tree. Thank you very much."
+
+The tree did not answer, but Lily felt a gentle breeze on her face. She thought it was the tree saying yes. She picked up an acorn and held it in her hand. She felt its weight and shape and texture. She was very happy. She ran back to Max and showed him her acorn.
+
+"Look, Max, look! The tree said yes! I have an acorn! It is my acorn! Thank you, Max, thank you for permitting me to have it!"
+
+Max smiled and nodded. He was glad that Lily was happy. He hoped that the tree was happy too. He took Lily's hand and said, "You're welcome, Lily. You're welcome. Now let's go and play some more. Come on, let's go!"
+Lily liked to help her mom in the kitchen. She liked to mix things in a big bowl. Mom said mixing was fun and good for making yummy food.
+
+One day, mom gave Lily a banana. She said, "Do you want to make banana bread with me?" Lily nodded and smiled. She loved banana bread. It was sweet and soft and warm.
+
+Mom peeled the banana and broke it into small pieces. She put them in the bowl with some flour and sugar and eggs and milk. She gave Lily a big spoon and said, "Now you can mix everything together. Mix, mix, mix!"
+
+Lily stirred the bowl with the spoon. She watched the banana and the other things become a smooth batter. She liked the sound of the spoon scraping the bowl. She liked the smell of the banana. She said, "Mix, mix, mix!"
+
+Mom smiled and said, "You are a great helper, Lily. You are very friendly and kind. I love you very much." She gave Lily a hug and a kiss. Then she poured the batter into a pan and put it in the oven. She said, "Soon we will have delicious banana bread to share. Do you want to help me set the table?"
+
+Lily nodded and smiled. She liked to help her mom in the kitchen. She liked to mix things in a big bowl. She liked to make banana bread with mom. She was happy.
+Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They liked to make noises and pretend they were animals or cars or superheroes. Lily had a doll that she called Anna and Ben had a truck that he called Max.
+
+"Vroom, vroom, I'm Max the truck and I can go very fast!" Ben said, making his truck zoom across the carpet.
+
+"I'm Anna the doll and I can sing very pretty!" Lily said, making her doll dance and twirl.
+
+They played happily until they heard a loud noise from upstairs. It sounded like a bang and a crash and a thud.
+
+"What was that?" Lily asked, looking scared.
+
+"I don't know, maybe it was a monster!" Ben said, looking brave.
+
+They both gazed at the stairs, wondering what was up there. They wanted to go and see, but they also felt afraid.
+
+"Let's go together, maybe it's not a monster, maybe it's something cool!" Ben said, holding Lily's hand.
+
+"OK, but we have to be quiet and careful!" Lily said, holding Ben's hand.
+
+They tiptoed up the stairs, clutching their toys. They reached the door of their big sister's room, where the noise came from. They opened the door slowly and peeked inside.
+
+They saw their big sister, Amy, lying on her bed, surrounded by books and papers. She had a big bandage on her forehead and a sad look on her face.
+
+"Hi, Amy, what happened?" Lily asked, feeling sorry for her.
+
+"Hi, guys, I fell off my bike and hit my head. It hurts a lot and I have to stay in bed and do my homework. It's not fun at all." Amy said, sighing.
+
+"That's not cool, that's bad!" Ben said, feeling angry.
+
+"Can we do something to make you feel better?" Lily asked, feeling kind.
+
+"Maybe you can play with me for a while, I'm bored and lonely." Amy said, smiling a little.
+
+"OK, we can do that, we have toys and we can make you laugh!" Ben said, feeling happy.
+
+They brought their toys to Amy's bed and started to play with her. They made noises and pretended they were animals or cars or superheroes. Amy had a book that she called Harry and she read them some stories.
+
+They played and read and laughed until their mom came upstairs and told them it was time for dinner. They hugged Amy and said goodbye.
+
+"Thank you, guys, you made me feel much better. You're the best!" Amy said, feeling grateful.
+
+"You're welcome, Amy, we love you. You're the coolest!" Lily and Ben said, feeling proud.
+Tom and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. Tom had a car and Lily had a doll. They liked to make up stories with their toys.
+
+"Vroom, vroom, I am a cop and I catch bad guys," Tom said, making his car zoom around the floor.
+
+"I am a princess and I live in a castle," Lily said, holding her doll and pretending to comb her hair.
+
+Suddenly, they heard a loud knock on the door. They stopped playing and looked at each other.
+
+"Who is it?" Tom asked.
+
+"It is me, the ugly robber. I want to take your toys and your money," a voice said from outside.
+
+Tom and Lily were scared. They did not want to lose their toys or their money. They did not know what to do.
+
+"Go away, you ugly robber. We don't have any money and you can't have our toys," Lily shouted.
+
+"No, I will not go away. I will break the door and come in," the voice said.
+
+Tom had an idea. He whispered to Lily and they quickly got some string and scissors. They cut the string and tied it to the door handle and the sofa. They hoped the string would stop the robber from opening the door.
+
+"Ready, Lily?" Tom asked.
+
+"Ready, Tom," Lily said.
+
+They hid behind the sofa and waited.
+
+The robber tried to open the door, but he could not. He pulled harder and harder, but the string was too strong. He got angry and frustrated.
+
+"Let me in, you little brats. I will get you," he yelled.
+
+But then, they heard another knock on the door. It was a different voice.
+
+"Hello, this is the real cop. I heard some noise and I came to check. Is everything okay?" the voice said.
+
+Tom and Lily were happy. They ran to the door and untied the string. They opened the door and saw a man in a blue uniform with a badge and a hat. He smiled at them.
+
+"Hi, kids. I am Officer Mike. Are you alone?" he asked.
+
+"No, our mom is in the kitchen. She is making cookies," Tom said.
+
+"Can we have some?" Lily asked.
+
+"Sure, you can. But first, let me deal with this ugly robber. He tried to break into your house, but you were very smart and brave. You tied the door with string and stopped him. You did a great job," Officer Mike said.
+
+He took out his handcuffs and arrested the robber. He put him in his car and drove away.
+
+Tom and Lily hugged each other and cheered. They were safe and happy. They went to the kitchen and told their mom what happened. She was proud of them and gave them cookies and milk. They thanked Officer Mike and waved goodbye.
+
+They went back to the living room and continued playing with their toys. They had a new story to tell. They were heroes.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and laugh. They saw a big hose that was watering the flowers. They wanted to play with the hose.
+
+"Can we use the hose, Mom?" Lily asked.
+
+"No, dear, the hose is not a toy. It has a leak and it can hurt you. Go play with something else," Mom said.
+
+But Lily and Ben did not listen. They waited until Mom went inside the house. Then they ran to the hose and turned it on. The water came out fast and strong. They screamed with joy and sprayed each other.
+
+"Look, I can make a rainbow!" Lily said, holding the hose up to the sun.
+
+"I can make a fountain!" Ben said, pointing the hose to the ground.
+
+They were having so much fun that they did not see the car coming. The car was driving on the road next to the garden. The driver did not see the hose either. He was looking at his phone. He did not yield to the stop sign. He did not hear the horn of the other car.
+
+The hose was in the way. The car hit the hose and dragged it along. The hose pulled Lily and Ben with it. They flew in the air like graceful birds. Then they fell to the ground like broken dolls.
+
+Mom heard the crash and the scream. She ran outside and saw the horror. She dropped to her knees and cried. She wished she had watched her children better. She wished they had listened to her. She wished they had not played with the hose.
+Lily loved to dance. She danced in the morning, she danced in the afternoon, she danced at night. She danced with her dolls, she danced with her dog, she danced with her mom and dad. She danced to music, she danced to stories, she danced to her own songs.
+
+One day, Lily went to a party with her mom. There were many other kids there, and they all wanted to dance too. Lily was happy to see them. She said hello and smiled. She saw a boy with a red shirt and a blue hat. He looked charming. He had a big number on his shirt. It was a six.
+
+"Hi, I'm Lily," she said to the boy. "I like your shirt. What is your name?"
+
+"Hi, I'm Max," he said. "I like your dress. It is pink and pretty. Do you want to dance with me?"
+
+"Yes, please," Lily said. She took his hand and they went to the dance floor. They danced to the music. They danced fast and slow, they danced high and low, they danced round and round. They had fun. They laughed and clapped. They made new friends.
+
+Lily and Max danced until the party was over. They said goodbye and hugged. They exchanged phone numbers. They promised to dance again soon. Lily went home with her mom. She was tired but happy. She had a charming day. She dreamed of dancing.
+Lily and Max were playing in the park. They liked to dig in the sand and look for treasures. Sometimes they found shells, coins, or buttons. But today they found something very different.
+
+"Look, Max, look!" Lily shouted. She held up a shiny rock in her hand. It sparkled in the sun. "I found a fancy rock!"
+
+Max ran over to see. He was curious. He wanted to touch the fancy rock. "Wow, Lily, that's amazing! Can I see it?"
+
+Lily nodded and gave him the rock. Max felt it in his hand. It was smooth and heavy. He saw different colors on it. He rubbed it with his finger. Then something happened.
+
+The rock opened up and revealed a tiny fairy inside. She had wings, a dress, and a crown. She smiled at Max and Lily. "Hello, children," she said. "Thank you for finding me. I was trapped in this rock for a long time. You have set me free."
+
+Max and Lily gasped. They couldn't believe their eyes. They had found a fairy in a fancy rock. They felt happy and surprised. They wanted to ask her many questions. But before they could, the fairy flew away. She left behind a trail of glitter. She waved at them and said, "Goodbye, children. You are very kind. I will always remember you."
+
+Max and Lily watched her go. They looked at each other and smiled. They had just had the most amazing adventure. They hugged each other and said, "We are the best treasure hunters ever!"
+Tim and Lily are friends. They like to play with blocks and cars. One day, they find a big box in the garage. It has many wires and lights. They wonder what it is.
+
+"Let's examine it," Tim says. He picks up a wire and pulls it. The box makes a beep sound.
+
+"Wow, what is that?" Lily asks. She touches a light and it changes color.
+
+"Maybe it is a network," Tim says. He remembers his dad talking about networks on his phone. "A network is a thing that connects other things."
+
+"Like blocks?" Lily asks. She tries to connect a wire to a block. The box makes another beep sound.
+
+"No, not like blocks," Tim says. He shakes his head. "More like phones and computers. They can talk to each other with a network."
+
+"Can we talk to the network?" Lily asks. She puts a wire to her ear and says hello.
+
+The box makes a loud beep sound and a voice says, "Please do not touch the network. It is not a toy. It is for work."
+
+Tim and Lily are scared. They drop the wires and run away. They think the network is not good. It is angry and mean. They decide to play with blocks and cars instead. They are more fun and friendly.
+Lily liked horses very much. She had a toy horse that she played with every day. She wanted a real horse, but her mom and dad said no. They said horses were too big and too expensive.
+
+One day, Lily saw an ad on the TV. It said, "Order your own horse today! Only $10 and free delivery!" Lily was very happy. She ran to the phone and called the number. She said, "I want a horse, please. I have $10 in my piggy bank."
+
+The next day, a big truck came to Lily's house. It had a horse in the back. The driver said, "Here is your horse, little girl. Give me your $10 and sign this paper." Lily gave him the money and scribbled her name. She did not read the paper. She was too excited to see her horse.
+
+The horse was brown and white. It had a long mane and a long tail. It looked very pretty. Lily hugged the horse and said, "Hello, horse. I am Lily. You are my horse now. We will be best friends." The horse snorted and licked Lily's face.
+
+Lily wanted to ride the horse. She climbed on its back and said, "Let's go, horse. Show me how fast you can run." The horse started to run. It ran very fast. It ran out of the yard and onto the street. It ran past cars and people and dogs. It ran and ran and did not stop.
+
+Lily was scared. She tried to make the horse stop, but it did not listen. She screamed and cried, but no one heard her. The horse ran away with Lily. Lily never saw her mom and dad again.
+
+The end.
+Anna liked to step on the grass. She liked how it felt under her feet. She liked to see the bugs and the flowers. She liked to hear the birds and the wind.
+
+One day, Anna saw a big hill. She wanted to step on it. She asked her mom if she could go. Her mom said yes, but be careful. Anna was happy. She took her backpack and her water bottle. She said bye to her mom and started to step on the hill.
+
+The hill was hard to step on. It was steep and rocky. Anna had to hold on to the trees and the bushes. She was tired and thirsty. But she wanted to see what was on the other side. She kept stepping on the hill.
+
+After a long time, Anna reached the top of the hill. She looked around. She saw the sun in the west. It was orange and red. It looked like a big ball of fire. She saw the clouds and the sky. They were pink and purple. They looked like cotton candy. She saw the trees and the grass. They were green and brown. They looked like a big carpet.
+
+Anna was amazed. She felt gifted. She had seen something beautiful. She had done something hard. She smiled and said wow. She took out her water bottle and drank some water. She took out her camera and took a picture. She wanted to remember this moment. She wanted to show her mom. She was proud of herself. She had stepped on the hill.
+Lily and Sam were twins who liked to play with their kayak. They had a big lake near their house where they could paddle and splash. One day, they decided to go to the other side of the lake, where they saw some ducks and flowers.
+
+"Look, Lily, how sweet the ducks are!" Sam said. "Can we feed them some bread?"
+
+"Sure, Sam, but we have to be careful not to scare them," Lily said. She took out some bread from her backpack and broke it into small pieces. She threw some to the water and watched the ducks come closer.
+
+They fed the ducks for a while, and then they saw a big swan. The swan was white and beautiful, but it did not like the twins. It hissed and flapped its wings, and tried to bite their kayak.
+
+"Uh-oh, Lily, the swan is angry!" Sam said. "What do we do?"
+
+"We have to reverse, Sam, we have to go back!" Lily said. She grabbed her paddle and pushed the water hard. Sam did the same, and they turned their kayak around. They paddled as fast as they could, away from the swan.
+
+They reached the other side of the lake, where their mom was waiting for them. She hugged them and asked them what happened.
+
+"We saw some sweet ducks, mom, but then a mean swan chased us!" Lily said.
+
+"We had to reverse, mom, we had to escape!" Sam said.
+
+Mom smiled and said, "I'm glad you're safe, my loves. You did the right thing. Sometimes, we have to reverse when we face danger or trouble. That's how we learn and grow."
+
+Lily and Sam nodded and said, "We understand, mom. We love you."
+
+They hugged mom and then they played with their kayak some more, but they stayed away from the swan. They learned to respect the animals and to reverse when needed.
+Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play with their toy boats in the pond. They had many boats of different colors and shapes, but their favorite ones were the red and blue ones with anchors. They liked to pretend they were sailors and explore the pond.
+
+One day, they saw a new boat in the pond. It was bigger and shinier than their boats, and it had a yellow flag. Lily and Ben wanted to see it closer, so they took their red and blue boats and sailed towards it. But when they got near, they saw that the new boat belonged to another boy, who was sitting on the shore.
+
+"Hey, that's my boat!" the boy shouted. "Go away, you can't play with it!"
+
+Lily and Ben felt sad and angry. They thought the boy was mean and selfish. They decided to teach him a lesson. They took their anchors and threw them at the new boat, hoping to make a hole or scratch it. But they missed and hit the water instead. The anchors sank to the bottom of the pond, and the ropes got tangled with their boats. Lily and Ben tried to pull their boats back, but they couldn't. They were stuck.
+
+The boy saw what happened and laughed. He said, "That's what you get for being naughty and rude. Now you can't play with your boats anymore. And I won't help you, because you tried to hurt my boat."
+
+Lily and Ben felt sorry and ashamed. They realized they had made a mistake. They shouldn't have been jealous or mean to the boy. They should have asked him nicely if they could see his boat or play with him. They learned that being kind and friendly is better than being greedy and spiteful.
+
+They said to the boy, "We're sorry, we were wrong. We didn't mean to hurt your boat. We just wanted to see it. It's very nice. Can you please forgive us and help us get our boats back?"
+
+The boy saw that they were sincere and felt sorry for them too. He said, "OK, I forgive you. I'm sorry too, I was rude. I should have shared my boat with you. It's more fun to play together. Come on, let's get your boats back."
+
+He took his boat and sailed to where Lily and Ben's boats were. He helped them untangle the ropes and pull the anchors up. Then he invited them to play with his boat and share his flag. Lily and Ben thanked him and agreed. They became friends and had a great time playing with their boats in the pond.
+
+The moral of the story is: Don't be jealous or mean to others. Be kind and friendly. Sharing is caring.
+Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a new animal in the park. It had horns, a beard, and a long tail. It was eating grass and making funny noises.
+
+"What is that?" Lily asked.
+
+"That is a goat," Ben said. He had seen a goat before at his grandma's farm. "They are interesting animals. They can climb and jump very well."
+
+"Can we pet the goat?" Lily wondered.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe we should ask the man who brought the goat here," Ben suggested.
+
+They walked over to the man who was sitting on a bench. He had a hat and a book. He looked friendly.
+
+"Hello, sir. Can we pet your goat?" Ben asked politely.
+
+"Sure, you can. His name is Billy. He is very gentle and likes children," the man said. He smiled and put down his book.
+
+Lily and Ben were happy. They stroked Billy's fur and scratched his ears. Billy licked their hands and bleated softly.
+
+"Thank you for letting us pet your goat. He is very nice," Lily said.
+
+"You're welcome. I'm glad you like him. I brought him here to mention him in my book. I'm writing a book about animals and their stories," the man said.
+
+"Wow, that sounds interesting. What kind of stories do you write?" Ben asked.
+
+"Well, for example, Billy has a story about how he escaped from a wolf and found his way back to the farm. He is a very brave and smart goat," the man said.
+
+Lily and Ben listened to the man's stories. They learned a lot about goats and other animals. They had a lot of fun with Billy and the man. They decided that goats were very interesting animals.
+Tom and Lily liked to go to the park with their mom. They liked to play on the swings, slide down the slide, and run on the grass. Sometimes, they also liked to buy ice cream from the vendor, who had a big cart with many colors and flavors.
+
+One day, they went to the park and saw the vendor was not there. They looked around and saw his cart was behind a tree, but he was not with it. They felt sad and wondered where he was.
+
+"Maybe he went to the bathroom," Tom said.
+
+"Maybe he went to get more ice cream," Lily said.
+
+They decided to wait for him and sat on a bench near the cart. They looked at the cart and saw it had a sign that said "Do not remove". They did not know what remove meant, but they thought it was something bad.
+
+They waited for a long time, but the vendor did not come back. They started to feel hungry and thirsty. They looked at the cart again and saw it had many ice creams inside. They felt tempted to take one, but they remembered the sign.
+
+"Mom said we should not do bad things," Tom said.
+
+"But we are very hungry," Lily said.
+
+They looked at each other and wondered what to do. They did not see anyone else in the park. They thought maybe the vendor would not mind if they took one ice cream each. They thought maybe he would be happy to share with them.
+
+They got up from the bench and walked to the cart. They reached for the handle and pulled it. The cart did not open. It was locked. They tried again, but it did not work. They felt frustrated and angry.
+
+They did not notice a man was watching them from behind another tree. He was the vendor. He was worried. He had left his cart to go to the phone booth and call his wife, who was sick. He had seen the kids waiting for him and felt sorry for them. He had wanted to go back and give them some ice cream, but he had seen them trying to open his cart. He had felt scared and angry. He had thought they wanted to steal his ice cream. He had decided to teach them a lesson.
+
+He came out from behind the tree and shouted at them. "Hey, you! What are you doing? Get away from my cart! You are bad kids! You are trying to remove my ice cream!"
+
+Tom and Lily were shocked and scared. They did not understand what he was saying. They did not know he was the vendor. They thought he was a stranger who wanted to hurt them. They ran away from the cart and looked for their mom.
+
+The vendor felt sorry for them. He realized they were just hungry and curious. He wished he had not shouted at them. He wished he had given them some ice cream. He wished he had not left his cart. He wished he had not put the sign. He wished he had not been so worried. He wished he had been more kind.
+Anna and Ben are playing with their toys. They have a big box of blocks and animals. They like to make different things with the blocks. Today, they are making a volcano.
+
+"Look, Ben, I made a volcano!" Anna says. She puts a red block on top of a pile of brown blocks. "It is hot and it can make fire!"
+
+"Wow, Anna, your volcano is very good!" Ben says. He has a green dinosaur in his hand. "Can my dinosaur live near your volcano?"
+
+"Sure, Ben, your dinosaur can be my friend!" Anna says. She offers him some more blocks. "Do you want to make a cave for your dinosaur?"
+
+"Yes, please, Anna, thank you!" Ben says. He takes the blocks and starts to build a cave next to the volcano. "My dinosaur likes to hide in the cave when the volcano makes fire!"
+
+Anna and Ben are happy. They play with their volcano and their dinosaur for a long time. They make noises and pretend that the volcano is erupting and the dinosaur is roaring. They have a lot of fun.
+Lily liked to test things. She liked to see what would happen if she mixed colors, or poured water, or made noises. One day, she found a shiny thing on the ground. It was round and silver and had a hole in it. She wondered what it was.
+
+She picked it up and put it in her pocket. She wanted to show it to her mom. But as she walked home, she heard a loud caw. She looked up and saw a big black bird. It was a raven. The raven had seen the shiny thing in her pocket. It wanted it for itself.
+
+The raven flew down and tried to grab the shiny thing from Lily. Lily was scared and angry. She shouted, "No! Mine!" and held the shiny thing tight. The raven cawed again and pecked at her hand. Lily cried out and ran away. The raven chased her.
+
+Lily ran to her mom, who was waiting for her at the door. She hugged her mom and showed her the shiny thing. Her mom smiled and said, "What a charming necklace! Where did you find it?"
+
+Lily told her mom about the shiny thing and the raven. Her mom said, "That was very brave of you to keep the shiny thing. But you know, ravens like shiny things too. Maybe you can share it with the raven. Maybe the raven will be your friend."
+
+Lily thought about it. She liked the shiny thing, but she also liked animals. She decided to test her mom's idea. She went back outside and looked for the raven. She saw it sitting on a branch. She held out the shiny thing and said, "Here, raven. You can have it. It's pretty."
+
+The raven looked at her and tilted its head. It flew down and took the shiny thing in its beak. It cawed softly and rubbed its head against Lily's hand. Lily smiled and petted the raven. The raven was charming. Lily had a new friend.
+Lila and Ben were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They also found some sticks and gave the snowman a sword.
+
+"Look, he is a snow knight!" Lila said.
+
+"He is very brave and strong," Ben said.
+
+They pretended to be snow knights too. They had their own swords and shields. They ran around the snowman and shouted.
+
+"Snow knights, snow knights, we are the best!" they repeated.
+
+They had a lot of fun. But then they heard a loud noise. It was a big dog. The dog saw the snowman and wanted to play. He ran towards the snowman and jumped on him.
+
+"Hey, stop that!" Lila and Ben yelled.
+
+The dog did not listen. He bit the snowman's hat and scarf. He knocked down the snowman's sword and stick. He made the snowman fall apart.
+
+Lila and Ben were very sad. They liked their snowman. They worked hard to make him. They ran to the dog and tried to make him go away.
+
+"Bad dog, bad dog, leave our snowman alone!" they repeated.
+
+The dog did not care. He wagged his tail and licked their faces. He thought they were playing too. He did not know he ruined their snowman.
+
+Lila and Ben were angry. They did not want to play with the dog. They wanted their snowman back. They picked up their swords and shields. They decided to make a new snowman. A bigger and better one. One that the dog could not break.
+
+They started to roll the snow into big balls. They stacked them on top of each other. They found a new hat and scarf. They also found a bigger stick and a metal spoon. They gave the new snowman a sword and a shield.
+
+"Look, he is a snow king!" Lila said.
+
+"He is very icy and cool," Ben said.
+
+They stood next to their snow king and smiled. They were proud of their work. They hoped the dog would not come back. They wanted to protect their snow king.
+
+"Snow king, snow king, we are your friends!" they repeated.
+Tom and Sam were brothers. They liked to play in the park near their home. There was a big slide, a swing, a seesaw and a sandbox. Tom liked the slide best, and Sam liked the swing best.
+
+One day, they went to the park with their mom. Tom ran to the slide and climbed up the ladder. Sam ran to the swing and pushed it with his feet. They were having fun.
+
+But then, a big boy came to the park. He had a mean face and a loud voice. He walked to the slide and said to Tom, "Get off the slide. I want to go first." Tom was scared, but he said, "No, I was here first. You have to wait your turn." The big boy did not mind. He pushed Tom off the ladder and went on the slide.
+
+Sam saw what happened and ran to help his brother. He said to the big boy, "That was not nice. You should say sorry to Tom." The big boy did not mind. He laughed and said, "You are too small to tell me what to do. Go away or I will push you too." Sam was brave, but he was also smart. He knew he could not fight the big boy. He had a better idea.
+
+He ran to the sandbox and picked up a handful of sand. He waited for the big boy to come down the slide. When he did, Sam threw the sand in his face. The big boy screamed and rubbed his eyes. He could not see. Sam said, "That is what you get for being mean. Now leave us alone." The big boy ran away, crying.
+
+Tom and Sam hugged each other and smiled. They went back to their favorite place in the park. They played on the slide and the swing until their mom called them. They were happy. They were persistent. They did not let the big boy ruin their fun.
+Tom liked to sing. He sang every day at home, at school, and in the park. He sang happy songs, sad songs, and funny songs. He made up his own words and tunes. He had a big voice and a big smile.
+
+One day, a man with a camera came to the park. He saw Tom singing and asked him, "Can I film you singing? You have a great voice. You could be famous and gain money." Tom nodded and sang his best song for the camera. The man smiled and said, "Thank you, Tom. You are a star. I will show your song to many people on TV and online. They will love you and pay you money. Do you want that?"
+
+Tom thought for a moment. He liked singing, but he also liked playing with his friends, his toys, and his dog. He did not care much about money or fame. He said, "No, thank you, sir. I just sing for fun. I don't want to be famous or gain money. I want to be happy and free. You can keep your camera and your money. Goodbye." He ran away to join his friends, who were waiting for him.
+
+The man was surprised and sad. He had lost a chance to make a lot of money and fame. He did not understand why Tom did not want them. He packed his camera and left the park.
+
+Tom did not regret his choice. He kept singing every day, but only for himself and his friends. He was happy and free. He did not need money or fame to enjoy his life. He had everything he needed. He was a star in his own way.
+Ben and Lily were hungry. They wanted to eat a pear. They saw a big pear tree in the park. They ran to the tree and looked for a ripe pear.
+
+"Look, Ben, there is a big pear up there!" Lily said. She pointed to a green pear on a high branch.
+
+"I want it!" Ben said. He tried to climb the tree, but he was too small. He could not reach the pear.
+
+"Let me try!" Lily said. She was taller than Ben. She climbed the tree and grabbed the pear. She was happy.
+
+"Give me the pear, Lily!" Ben said. He was angry. He wanted the pear too.
+
+"No, it is mine!" Lily said. She held the pear tight. She did not want to share.
+
+They started to fight. They pulled the pear from each other. They did not see the bee that was on the pear. The bee was angry too. It stung Lily on her hand.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Lily cried. She dropped the pear. The pear fell to the ground. It broke in half.
+
+"Are you okay, Lily?" Ben asked. He was sorry. He did not want to hurt Lily.
+
+"It hurts, Ben!" Lily said. She showed him her hand. It was red and swollen.
+
+"I am sorry, Lily. I was mean. You can have the pear." Ben said. He picked up the pear and gave it to Lily.
+
+"Thank you, Ben. I am sorry too. I was greedy. You can have the pear." Lily said. She gave the pear back to Ben.
+
+They looked at each other. They smiled. They decided to share the pear. They each took a bite. The pear was sweet and juicy.
+
+They were not hungry anymore. They were happy. They wore big smiles on their faces. They hugged each other. They were friends.
+Sam and Mia are twins. They like to play at the beach. They make sand castles and look for shells. They also like to swim in the water, but only when Mom or Dad are with them.
+
+One day, they go to the beach with Mom. Mom says they can swim for a little while, but then they have to come back. She says there is a big storm coming from the distant sky. She points to the dark clouds and the strong wind.
+
+Sam and Mia nod and run to the water. They splash and laugh and have fun. They forget about the storm. They swim far from the shore, where the waves are bigger.
+
+Mom sees them and calls them. "Sam! Mia! Come back! The storm is getting closer! It is not safe!" She waves her arms and shouts.
+
+Sam and Mia hear her, but they do not want to leave. They think the storm is still far away. They want to swim more. They say to each other, "Just a little more. Mom can wait."
+
+But then, they see a big wave coming. It is bigger than them. It is bigger than Mom. It is scary. They try to swim back, but they are too late. The wave catches them and pushes them under the water.
+
+Mom sees the wave and runs to the water. She is scared. She wants to prevent the wave from hurting her twins. She dives into the water and looks for them. She finds them and grabs them. She pulls them to the surface and hugs them. She is angry and relieved.
+
+"Sam! Mia! You are okay! Thank God! Why did you not listen to me? You could have been hurt! The storm is dangerous! You have to obey me when I tell you to come back!"
+
+Sam and Mia are sorry. They are wet and cold and scared. They hug Mom and say, "We are sorry, Mom. We were having fun. We did not see the wave. We love you, Mom."
+
+Mom kisses them and says, "I love you too, Sam and Mia. But you have to be careful. The beach is fun, but it can also be dangerous. Next time, you have to come back when I call you. Okay?"
+
+Sam and Mia nod and say, "Okay, Mom. We will."
+
+Mom smiles and says, "Good. Now let's go home. We need to dry off and warm up. And maybe have some hot chocolate."
+
+Sam and Mia smile and say, "Yes, Mom. That sounds good."
+
+They hold Mom's hand and walk to the car. They leave the beach and the storm behind. They are happy to be safe and together.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They share a bedroom. They like to play with their toys and read books before bedtime. But sometimes, they hear noises outside their window. They think it is a monster.
+
+One night, they hear a loud bang. They jump out of their beds and run to each other. They hug and cry.
+
+"Ben, I'm scared!" Anna says.
+
+"Me too, Anna!" Ben says.
+
+They look at their window. It is dark and windy. They see a big shadow moving.
+
+"Is it the monster?" Anna asks.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe it is a tree or a bird," Ben says.
+
+He tries to be brave, but he is shaking.
+
+"Let's go to Mom and Dad. They will protect us," Anna says.
+
+She grabs Ben's hand and pulls him to the door.
+
+"Wait, Anna. We can't. Mom and Dad said we have to stay in our bedroom at night. They said it is the rule," Ben says.
+
+He remembers what Mom and Dad told them before they kissed them goodnight.
+
+"But we are scared, Ben. They will understand," Anna says.
+
+She looks at Ben with big eyes.
+
+"Please, Ben. Please, come with me," she says.
+
+Ben thinks for a moment. He loves Anna. He does not want her to be scared. He does not want to be scared either.
+
+"Okay, Anna. I will come with you. But we have to be quiet. And we have to promise to go back to our bedroom after Mom and Dad hug us," he says.
+
+He makes a pinky promise with Anna.
+
+"Promise, Ben. Promise," Anna says.
+
+They nod and smile. They open the door and sneak out of their bedroom. They hope Mom and Dad will not be mad. They hope the monster will not follow them.
+Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a long bench near the slide. They want to sit on the bench and eat their snacks.
+
+"Can we sit on the bench, Mom?" Tom asks his mom.
+
+"Yes, you can, but only for a little while. Then you have to share the bench with other kids, okay?" Mom says.
+
+"Okay, Mom. Thank you!" Tom says. He and Lily run to the bench and sit down. They open their bags and take out their snacks. Tom has a banana and Lily has a cookie.
+
+"Your cookie looks yummy. Can I have a bite?" Tom asks Lily.
+
+"Sure, you can. And you can give me a bite of your banana, too." Lily says. They smile and share their snacks.
+
+They are happy and full. They see two other kids coming to the slide. They look at the bench.
+
+"Let's go play on the slide. We can let the other kids sit on the bench." Tom says.
+
+"Okay, let's go. The slide is fun." Lily says. They put their bags on the ground and get up from the bench.
+
+"Hi, can we sit on the bench?" One of the kids asks.
+
+"Yes, you can. We are going to play on the slide. Have fun!" Tom and Lily say.
+
+They run to the slide and take turns sliding down. They laugh and have fun. Mom watches them and smiles. She is proud of them. They are good friends and they know how to share.
+Sam was a troubled boy. He did not like to share his toys with his sister, Mia. He always wanted to play with her phone, but she said no. One day, he was very angry with Mia. He took her phone when she was not looking and ran to his room.
+
+Mia was sad and scared. She did not know where her phone was. She asked her mom for help. Mom looked everywhere, but she could not find the phone. She asked Sam if he knew where it was. Sam said no, but he was lying.
+
+Mom did not believe Sam. She saw his face and knew he was hiding something. She went to his room and opened the door. She saw Sam holding the phone. He was about to throw it out of the window. Mom shouted, "Sam, stop! That is not your phone! That is Mia's phone! You are being very naughty!"
+
+Sam was startled by mom's voice. He dropped the phone on the floor. It broke into pieces. Sam started to cry. He knew he had done something bad. He was sorry for hurting Mia and mom. He said, "I'm sorry, mom. I'm sorry, Mia. I was angry and I did a bad thing. Please forgive me."
+
+Mom picked up the phone and hugged Sam. She was sad and angry, but she also loved him. She said, "Sam, I'm glad you are sorry, but you have to learn to control your anger. You have to respect Mia and her things. You have to share and be kind. Throwing things is not the way to solve problems. Do you understand?"
+
+Sam nodded and said, "Yes, mom. I understand. I will try to be better. I will say sorry to Mia and give her a hug. I will help you buy a new phone for her. I love you, mom. I love you, Mia."
+
+Mom smiled and said, "I love you too, Sam. I love you too, Mia. Come on, let's go and talk to Mia. She is waiting for us in the living room."
+Sara was sad. She missed her uncle Tom. He lived far away and she could not see him. She wanted to hug him and play with him. She looked at his picture on the wall and felt gloomy.
+
+One day, her mom said, "Sara, I have a surprise for you. Guess who is coming to visit us?" Sara thought hard. Who could it be? She hoped it was her uncle Tom. She asked, "Is it uncle Tom?"
+
+Her mom smiled and nodded. "Yes, it is! He will be here soon. Are you happy?" Sara was very happy. She jumped up and down and clapped her hands. She said, "Yes, yes, yes! I can't wait to see uncle Tom!"
+
+Soon, there was a knock on the door. Sara ran to open it. She saw her uncle Tom standing there. He had a big smile and a big bag. He said, "Hello, Sara! I missed you so much! Can I have a hug?" Sara hugged him tight. She said, "I missed you too, uncle Tom! I love you!"
+
+They went inside and had a lot of fun. Uncle Tom brought her a new book and a new toy. He read her the book and played with her the toy. He made her laugh and smile. Sara was not sad or gloomy anymore. She was happy and grateful. She thanked her mom and her uncle Tom for the surprise. She said, "This is the best day ever!"
+Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big slide. Tom wants to go on the slide. Sue is scared.
+
+"Come on, Sue, it is fun!" Tom says. "You just sit and slide down. It is easy!"
+
+"I don't know, Tom. It looks high and fast. What if I fall?" Sue says.
+
+"You won't fall, Sue. I will go with you. Just close your eyes and hold my hand. Then you won't be scared." Tom says.
+
+Sue thinks for a moment. She wants to be brave like Tom. She nods and takes his hand. They climb up the stairs to the top of the slide.
+
+"Are you ready, Sue?" Tom asks.
+
+"Yes, Tom. I am ready." Sue says. She closes her eyes and squeezes his hand.
+
+"Okay, Sue. Here we go!" Tom says. He pushes them off the slide.
+
+They slide down very fast. Sue feels the wind in her hair and the sun on her face. She thinks it is not so bad. She opens her eyes and smiles.
+
+But then, something bad happens. There is a big hole in the slide. Tom and Sue fall through the hole. They scream and cry. They land on the hard ground. They are hurt and bleeding. No one is there to help them. They wish they never went on the slide.
+Sam liked to play with his toy cars. He made them speed on the floor and go vroom vroom. He liked to pretend they were racing and crashing. He had a red car and a blue car and a yellow car.
+
+One day, he saw a lizard on the wall. It was green and scaly and had a long tail. Sam thought it was cool. He wanted to play with it. He grabbed his red car and threw it at the lizard. The car hit the lizard and made it fall. Sam ran to the lizard and picked it up.
+
+"Hi, lizard. Do you want to play with me?" Sam said. He put the lizard on the floor and pushed it with his finger. The lizard did not move. Sam pushed it harder. The lizard still did not move. Sam poked it with his car. The lizard did not blink.
+
+"Hey, lizard. Why are you not playing?" Sam said. He shook the lizard and held it to his ear. He did not hear anything. He looked at the lizard's eyes. They were closed. He felt the lizard's skin. It was cold.
+
+Sam realized the lizard was dead. He had killed it with his car. He felt sad and scared. He dropped the lizard and ran to his mom. He cried and told her what he had done.
+
+Mom was angry and sad. She scolded Sam and took away his cars. She told him he had to be gentle with animals and not hurt them. She told him he had to say sorry to the lizard and bury it in the garden. She told him he could not play with his cars for a long time.
+
+Sam did what mom said. He said sorry to the lizard and dug a hole in the garden. He put the lizard in the hole and covered it with dirt. He made a cross with two sticks and put it on the grave. He felt very sorry and very bad. He wished he had not thrown his car at the lizard. He wished the lizard was alive and could play with him. He wished he could have his cars back. He learned a hard lesson. He never threw his toys at animals again.
+Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play together. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big box. They could use the box to make a house, a car, a boat, or anything they wanted. They liked to include their stuffed animals in their games and pretend they were their friends.
+
+One day, they decided to make a pizza shop with the box. They cut out a window and a door, and drew a sign that said "Ben and Lily's Pizza". They used paper plates, crayons, and scissors to make pizzas with different toppings. They took turns being the chef and the customer.
+
+"Hello, welcome to Ben and Lily's Pizza. What can I make for you?" Ben asked, wearing a paper hat.
+
+"I would like a cheese pizza, please," Lily said, holding a paper money.
+
+"Okay, that will be one dollar. Please wait while I make your order," Ben said, taking the money and going to the box. He cut out a circle from a paper plate and drew cheese on it with a yellow crayon. He put it in the box and pretended to bake it.
+
+"Here is your pizza, hot and fresh. Enjoy!" Ben said, giving the plate to Lily.
+
+"Thank you, it looks yummy!" Lily said, pretending to eat it. She gave Ben a bite and said, "You are a good chef, Ben."
+
+"Thank you, you are a good customer, Lily," Ben said, smiling.
+
+They played for a long time, making and eating different pizzas. They had fun and laughed a lot. But soon, they felt sleepy. They yawned and rubbed their eyes.
+
+"I think it's time for a nap," Lily said, putting down her plate.
+
+"Me too," Ben said, taking off his hat.
+
+They took their stuffed animals and went to the box. They made a bed with a blanket and a pillow. They cuddled with their animals and said, "Good night, pizza shop."
+
+"Good night, Ben and Lily," their animals said.
+
+They closed their eyes and fell asleep. They dreamed of pizza and more adventures.
+Ben and Mia were best friends. They liked to play in the park and eat yogurt. One day, they saw a big bird in the sky. It was white and had long wings. Ben said, "Look, Mia, a bird! I wish I could fly like that." Mia said, "Me too, Ben. Flying must be fun."
+
+They ran to the bird and tried to touch it. But the bird was not a bird. It was an ancient plane. It was old and rusty and had holes in it. The plane did not like Ben and Mia. It made a loud noise and blew smoke at them. Ben and Mia coughed and cried. They ran away from the plane.
+
+But the plane was angry. It chased Ben and Mia. It flew low and fast. It tried to hit them with its wings. Ben and Mia were scared. They shouted for help. But no one heard them. The plane caught Ben and Mia. It lifted them up in the air. It dropped them on the ground. Ben and Mia were hurt. They did not move. They did not breathe.
+
+The plane flew away. It was happy. It did not like children. It liked to be alone. It did not care about Ben and Mia.
+
+The moral of the story is: Do not touch things that you do not know. They might be dangerous. And do not wish for things that you cannot do. They might be impossible. Be happy with what you have. And be careful with what you see.
+Sam and Ben are friends. They like to play soccer in the park. Sam is a good player. He can kick the ball very far and fast. Ben is not so good. He often misses the ball or falls down.
+
+One day, they play with some other kids. Sam is on one team and Ben is on the other team. Sam's team is winning. Sam kicks the ball to the goal. Ben tries to stop it, but he is too slow. The ball goes in. Sam's team cheers. Sam says, "Ha ha, Ben, you are a bad player. You can't play soccer. You should go home."
+
+Ben feels sad and ashamed. He wants to cry. He says, "Sam, you are mean. You are not a good friend. You should be nice to me. We are supposed to have fun, not make fun."
+
+Sam feels sorry. He remembers that Ben is his friend. He says, "Ben, I'm sorry. You are right. I was mean. I don't care if you are good or bad at soccer. I care that you are my friend. Can you forgive me?"
+
+Ben smiles. He says, "Sam, I forgive you. You are my friend too. Can we play together again?"
+
+Sam nods. He says, "Yes, Ben, we can play together again. Let's walk to the other side and join the other kids. Maybe we can be on the same team this time."
+
+Sam and Ben walk to the other side. They hug and say sorry to the other kids. They play soccer again. They have fun. They are happy.
+Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play in their room. They had a big wardrobe where they kept their clothes and toys. Sometimes they pretended that the wardrobe was a magic door to another world.
+
+One day, they decided to play a game. They took a blanket and a flashlight and went inside the wardrobe. They closed the door behind them and turned on the flashlight.
+
+"Let's pretend we are explorers," Ben said. "Maybe we can find a castle or a forest or a dragon."
+
+"Or maybe we can find a fairy or a unicorn or a princess," Lily said. "That would be fun."
+
+They crawled under the blanket and looked around. They saw some hangers, some shoes, some books and some boxes. They opened the boxes and found some old hats, scarves and gloves.
+
+"Look, we can dress up," Lily said. She put on a hat and a scarf and wrapped a glove around her neck like a necklace. "Now I'm a queen."
+
+Ben put on a hat and a glove and held a book like a sword. "And I'm a knight."
+
+They laughed and pretended to have adventures. They fought imaginary monsters, rescued imaginary friends and found imaginary treasures. They had so much fun that they forgot about the time.
+
+Meanwhile, their mom was looking for them. She checked the living room, the kitchen, the bathroom and the garden, but she could not find them anywhere. She started to worry. She hoped they were safe and not in trouble.
+
+She went to their room and saw the wardrobe. She had a thoughtful idea. She opened the door and peeked inside. She saw the blanket, the flashlight and the twins. They were sleeping peacefully, holding their hats and gloves.
+
+She smiled and felt relieved. She was glad they were okay. She was proud of their imagination and creativity. She decided to let them sleep a little longer. She closed the door gently and left a note on it.
+
+"Dear Lily and Ben, I hope you had a wonderful adventure. I love you very much. Mom."
+Tom and Anna like to play in the park. They see many things: trees, flowers, swings, slides. But their favorite thing is the big bird house. The bird house has many birds of different colors and sounds. They are very pretty and funny.
+
+One day, Tom and Anna go to the park with their mom. They run to the bird house and look at the birds. They see a new bird. It is very big and black. It has a long beak and a red ring around its neck. It looks very modern. Tom and Anna want to see it closer.
+
+"Mom, can we go inside the bird house?" Tom asks.
+
+"No, sweetie, it is not allowed. The birds need their space and peace. We can only watch them from outside," Mom says.
+
+"But I want to touch the big black bird. It looks so soft and cool," Anna says.
+
+"Sorry, honey, you can't. The big black bird is not friendly. It can bite you or scratch you. It is not a pet. It is a wild animal," Mom says.
+
+Tom and Anna are sad. They don't understand why they can't go inside the bird house. They think Mom is not fair. They wait until Mom is busy talking to another mom. Then they sneak inside the bird house. They are very quiet and careful. They look for the big black bird.
+
+They find it in a corner. It is sitting on a branch. It is very still and quiet. Tom and Anna think it is sleeping. They go closer and closer. They want to touch it and pet it. They don't see the sign that says: "Danger! Do not approach! This is a raven. It is very smart and cunning. It can open doors and escape. It can also attack people and other birds. It is here for rehabilitation and research. Please respect its privacy and safety."
+
+They reach the raven. They stretch their hands. They are about to touch it. But the raven is not sleeping. It is waiting. It sees them. It opens its beak. It makes a loud and scary sound. It flaps its wings. It jumps at them. It bites Tom's finger. It scratches Anna's face. It tries to fly away.
+
+Tom and Anna scream. They are hurt and scared. They run out of the bird house. They cry for Mom. Mom hears them. She sees them. She is shocked and angry. She runs to them. She hugs them and checks them. She sees the blood and the marks. She knows what happened.
+
+She scolds them and takes them to the nurse. The nurse cleans their wounds and puts bandages on them. She tells them they are lucky. The raven could have done more damage. She tells them they should never go inside the bird house without permission. She tells them they should respect the birds and their rules. She tells them they should listen to Mom and learn from their mistake.
+
+Tom and Anna are sorry. They say they are sorry to Mom, to the nurse, and to the raven. They say they will never do it again. They say they learned their lesson. They say they still like the birds, but they will only watch them from outside. They say they are not so modern after all. They say they are just kids who need to be careful and smart.
+Lily and Max were twins who liked to play in their big building. One day, they saw a shiny red car in the parking lot. They wanted to drive the car, but they knew it was not theirs.
+
+"Let's go inside the car and pretend to drive," Max said.
+
+"OK, but we have to be quiet and fast," Lily said.
+
+They opened the door and climbed into the car. They put on the seat belts and turned the wheel. They made vroom-vroom noises and laughed.
+
+Suddenly, they heard a loud beep. They looked at the dashboard and saw a green button. Max pushed the button and the car started to move.
+
+"Uh-oh, what did you do?" Lily asked.
+
+"I don't know, I just pushed the button," Max said.
+
+The car rolled out of the parking lot and onto the street. They saw cars and people and trees and lights. They were scared and wanted to stop the car.
+
+"Help, help!" they shouted.
+
+A man in a blue uniform saw them and ran after them. He had a badge and a whistle. He blew the whistle and waved his hand. He caught up with the car and opened the door. He turned off the engine and took out the keys.
+
+"Are you OK, kids?" he asked.
+
+"Yes, we're OK, but we're sorry," Lily said.
+
+"We just wanted to play, we didn't mean to drive the car," Max said.
+
+The man looked at them and shook his head. He was a policeman and he was not happy.
+
+"You shouldn't play with cars that are not yours. You could have hurt yourselves or someone else. Where are your parents?" he asked.
+
+"They're in our building, on the tenth floor," Lily said.
+
+"Come with me, I'll take you to them. You have to tell them what you did and say sorry," he said.
+
+He held their hands and walked them to the elevator. They pushed the button and waited for the door to open. They felt guilty and sad. They knew they had done a bad thing and they had to face their parents. They hoped their parents would not be too angry and would still love them.
+Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play pretend. One day, they decided to be lions and roar at each other. They put on their yellow hats and ran around the house, making loud noises.
+
+"Roar! I am the king of the jungle!" Ben said.
+
+"Roar! I am the queen of the jungle!" Lily said.
+
+They had fun chasing each other and jumping on the sofa. But they did not see that their old grandma was sleeping on the chair. She was very tired and needed a nap.
+
+"Roar! Roar! Roar!" Ben and Lily shouted.
+
+"Shh! Shh! Shh!" Grandma said. She woke up and felt a headache. She was not happy.
+
+"Ben and Lily, why are you making so much noise? You are disturbing me and the neighbors. You should be quiet and respectful." Grandma said.
+
+"Sorry, Grandma. We were playing lions. We did not mean to bother you." Ben and Lily said.
+
+They felt sorry for their grandma and gave her a hug. They wanted to make her feel better.
+
+"Can we do something for you, Grandma?" Ben and Lily asked.
+
+"Yes, you can. You can help me brush my hair. It is very long and tangled. It will make me feel nice and relaxed." Grandma said.
+
+"Okay, Grandma. We will help you brush your hair. We love you." Ben and Lily said.
+
+They took the brush and gently combed their grandma's hair. They made her smile and laugh. They learned that playing is fun, but being kind and helpful is also important. They were happy to be good lions and good grandchildren.
+Anna and Ben are playing in the park. They have a bottle of soap and a wand. They blow bubbles in the air. The bubbles are big and shiny. They float and pop.
+
+"Look, Anna, a bubble!" Ben says. He runs after a bubble. He wants to touch it. He reaches out his hand. But the bubble pops before he can touch it. He hears a soft sound. He feels a drop of water on his hand.
+
+"Aw, it popped!" Ben says. He is sad. He wants to touch a bubble.
+
+"Try again, Ben!" Anna says. She blows another bubble. She holds the wand in front of Ben. "Here, touch this one!"
+
+Ben smiles. He moves his hand slowly. He touches the bubble. The bubble does not pop. It feels mild and wet. He sees his reflection in the bubble. He laughs.
+
+"I touched it, Anna, I touched it!" Ben says. He is happy. He shows Anna his hand. "Look, it's wet!"
+
+"Good job, Ben!" Anna says. She claps her hands. "You touched a bubble!"
+
+They hug each other. They blow more bubbles. They touch more bubbles. They have fun.
+Tommy loves animals. He wants to be a veterinarian when he grows up. He likes to play with his stuffed animals and pretend they are sick. He gives them medicine and bandages and makes them feel better.
+
+One day, Tommy sees a blue bird in his backyard. The bird is hurt. It has a broken wing and cannot fly. Tommy feels sorry for the bird. He runs to his mom and asks her for help.
+
+"Mom, mom, there is a blue bird in the yard. It is hurt. Can we help it?" Tommy says.
+
+Mom looks at the bird and nods. She gets a shoebox and a towel. She gently picks up the bird and puts it in the box. She tells Tommy to get some water and seeds.
+
+"Tommy, you are very kind. You want to help the bird. That is good. But you cannot own the bird. The bird belongs to the sky. It needs to be free. We will take it to the veterinarian. He will fix the bird's wing and let it go." Mom says.
+
+Tommy understands. He loves the bird, but he knows it is not his. He helps his mom take the bird to the veterinarian. The veterinarian is nice. He thanks Tommy and his mom for bringing the bird. He tells them he will take good care of it.
+
+Tommy is happy. He knows he did the right thing. He hopes the bird will fly again soon. He waves goodbye to the bird and smiles. He still wants to be a veterinarian when he grows up. He wants to help more animals.
+Lily liked to study music. She had a lovely piano that her mom gave her. She played songs every day and learned new notes. She was happy when she made music.
+
+One day, a new girl came to her school. Her name was Mia. Mia also liked music, but she had a guitar. She played songs that Lily did not know. Lily felt sad. She thought Mia was better than her.
+
+Lily did not want to play with Mia. She did not want to share her piano. She did not want to learn new songs. She only wanted to play her own music.
+
+But Mia was kind and friendly. She wanted to play with Lily. She wanted to share her guitar. She wanted to learn new songs. She liked Lily's music.
+
+One day, Mia asked Lily if they could play music together. Lily said no. She was afraid that Mia would laugh at her. She was afraid that Mia would take her piano. She was afraid that Mia would not like her.
+
+But Mia did not give up. She said, "Please, Lily, let's play music together. You have a lovely piano. I have a guitar. We can make beautiful music together. We can teach each other new songs. We can be friends."
+
+Lily thought about it. She looked at Mia's guitar. She looked at her piano. She looked at Mia's smile. She felt curious. She felt sorry. She felt brave.
+
+She said, "Okay, Mia, let's play music together. You have a guitar. I have a piano. We can make beautiful music together. We can teach each other new songs. We can be friends."
+
+Lily and Mia played music together. They studied new notes. They learned new songs. They made beautiful music together. They became friends. They were happy.
+

+Anna and Ben like to play with their toy cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They also have a big truck that can load and unload things.
+
+One day, they decide to load the truck with round things. They look around the house and find some balls, some apples, some oranges, and some eggs. They put them all in the truck and close the door.
+
+"Let's go to the park and unload the truck there," Ben says.
+
+"OK, but be careful. The eggs are very smooth and can break," Anna says.
+
+They push the truck along the floor and out the door. They go down the stairs and across the street. They are almost at the park when they see a big bump on the road.
+
+"Watch out, Ben!" Anna shouts.
+
+But it is too late. Ben pushes the truck too fast and it hits the bump. The door of the truck opens and all the round things fall out. The balls bounce away, the apples and oranges roll away, and the eggs crack and splatter.
+
+"Oh no, our round things!" Ben cries.
+
+Anna runs to the truck and tries to pick up some of the things. But they are too far and too messy. She sees some other kids playing with the balls and some birds eating the fruits. She feels sad and angry.
+
+"Ben, you ruined our game! You were not careful!" she says.
+
+Ben feels sorry and ashamed. He looks at the broken eggs and the empty truck. He wishes he had listened to Anna.
+
+"I'm sorry, Anna. I didn't mean to. Can we still be friends?" he says.
+
+Anna thinks for a moment. She remembers that Ben is her brother and that he likes to play with her. She also remembers that they have more toys at home.
+
+She sighs and smiles.
+
+"OK, Ben. We can still be friends. But next time, let's load the truck with something else. Something that won't break or roll away," she says.
+
+They hug and go back home. They decide to load the truck with blocks and books. They are careful and have fun. They learn their lesson and are happy.
+Anna and Ben liked to play spies. They had toy weapons that made noises and flashed lights. They pretended to sneak around the house and find bad guys. Sometimes they hid under the table or behind the sofa.
+
+One day, they saw a big box in the living room. It had a sticker that said "Do not open". They thought it was a secret spy mission. They wanted to see what was inside. They looked at each other and nodded.
+
+They ran to the box and opened it. But it was not a spy thing. It was a cake. A big, yummy cake with frosting and sprinkles. It was for their mom's birthday. They had spoiled the surprise.
+
+They heard their mom coming. They were scared. They did not want to get in trouble. They did not know what to do. They grabbed their weapons and pointed them at the cake. They shouted "Freeze!"
+
+Their mom walked in and saw them. She was confused. She saw the cake and the weapons and the kids. She did not understand. She asked them what they were doing.
+
+Anna and Ben looked at each other. They felt bad. They put down their weapons and said sorry. They told their mom they were playing spies and they did not know it was a cake. They said they loved her and they wanted to make her happy.
+
+Their mom smiled and hugged them. She said it was okay. She said she loved them too and she was happy. She said they could still have the cake later. She said they were very sweet and funny spies. She said they could play some more, but not with the cake.
+
+Anna and Ben felt better. They said thank you and gave their mom a kiss. They put away their weapons and picked up their stuffed animals. They decided to play something else. Something more peaceful. They played farm. They had a lot of fun.
+Lily loved balloons. She liked to blow them up and make them big and round. She liked to tie them to her wrist and watch them float in the air. She liked to play with them with her friends and make them pop.
+
+One day, Lily saw a man with a lot of balloons. He was not like other people. He had a big hat and a funny nose and a colorful coat. He was a clown. He smiled at Lily and said, "Hello, little girl. Do you like balloons?"
+
+Lily nodded. She wanted a balloon from the clown. The clown said, "I can give you a balloon, but first you have to learn something. I can teach you how to make animals with balloons. Do you want to learn?"
+
+Lily nodded again. She liked animals. She wanted to make them with balloons. The clown said, "OK, then. Follow me. I will show you how to twist and bend and shape the balloons into unusual creatures."
+
+Lily followed the clown to a park. There, the clown took out a long, thin balloon and blew it up. He twisted and bent and shaped it into a dog. He gave it to Lily and said, "This is a balloon dog. You can pet it and play with it, but don't let it bite you. It might pop."
+
+Lily laughed. She liked the balloon dog. She petted it and played with it. She thanked the clown and said, "Can you teach me how to make another animal?"
+
+The clown said, "Sure. How about a balloon cat? Or a balloon bird? Or a balloon elephant?"
+
+Lily said, "Yes, yes, yes. I want to make them all."
+
+The clown said, "OK, then. Let's begin. You need another balloon. Here, take this one. Now, watch me carefully. I will teach you how to make a balloon cat."
+
+Lily watched the clown carefully. She learned how to make a balloon cat. She was very happy. She made more animals with the clown. She made a balloon bird, a balloon elephant, a balloon monkey, and a balloon fish. She had a lot of fun. She had a lot of balloons.

+She said to the clown, "Thank you for teaching me how to make animals with balloons. You are very nice and very funny. I like you."

+The clown said, "You are very welcome, Lily. You are very smart and very creative. I like you too. You are my new friend."
+
+They hugged and smiled. They had a special bond. They both loved balloons. They both loved animals. They both loved to make unusual things. They were happy.
+Lily and Ben love to help mom in the kitchen. They like to prepare yummy things with her. Mom says they are good helpers.
+
+Today, mom is making a cake for dad's birthday. She lets Lily and Ben put some things in a big bowl. They put flour, sugar, eggs, butter, and milk. Mom says these are the ingredients. Lily and Ben stir them with a big spoon. They make a smooth batter.
+
+Mom pours the batter into a round pan. She puts the pan in the oven. She says the oven is very hot and they have to be careful. She sets a timer. Lily and Ben wait for the cake to bake. They smell something sweet in the air.
+
+When the timer rings, mom takes the pan out of the oven. She puts it on a rack to cool. She says the cake is done. Lily and Ben clap their hands. They are happy.
+
+Mom lets them decorate the cake with frosting and sprinkles. They make a happy face on the cake. They write "Happy Birthday Dad" with colorful letters. They put some candles on the cake. They are ready to surprise dad. They can't wait to see his smile. They love him very much.
+Anna and Ben are playing with blocks. They like to make towers and houses with the blocks. The blocks are different colors and shapes. Some are red, some are blue, some are round, and some are square.
+
+"Look, I made a big tower with the square blocks!" Anna says. She is proud of her tower. It is taller than her.
+
+"Wow, that is a nice tower, Anna!" Ben says. He wants to make a tower too. He looks for the square blocks, but he cannot find any. Anna has used them all.
+
+"Anna, can I have some square blocks, please?" Ben asks. He is polite.
+
+"No, they are mine!" Anna says. She is selfish. She does not want to share the square blocks. She thinks they are the best.
+
+"Please, Anna, just a few?" Ben begs. He is sad.
+
+"No, no, no!" Anna shouts. She is angry. She does not like to share.
+
+Ben is upset. He does not know what to do. He sees a big ball on the floor. He has an idea. He picks up the ball and throws it at Anna's tower.
+
+"Bang!" The ball hits the tower. The tower falls down. The square blocks fly everywhere.
+
+"Ah!" Anna screams. She is scared. She did not expect the ball. She thinks the tower will hit her.
+
+"Sorry, Anna, I did not mean to scare you!" Ben says. He is sorry. He did not want to hurt Anna. He just wanted some square blocks.
+
+Anna is crying. She is sad. She loved her tower. She thinks Ben is mean.
+
+"Anna, I am sorry, please don't cry!" Ben says. He is worried. He wants to make Anna happy. He picks up some square blocks and gives them to Anna.
+
+"Here, Anna, you can have these square blocks. I don't need them. I can make a tower with the round blocks." Ben says. He is kind. He wants to share.
+
+Anna stops crying. She looks at Ben. She sees the square blocks in his hand. She sees the round blocks on the floor. She thinks for a moment.
+
+"Thank you, Ben. You are nice. I am sorry I was selfish. You can have some square blocks too. We can make a tower together." Anna says. She is sorry. She wants to be friends with Ben.
+
+"Okay, Anna. That sounds fun. We can make a big tower with the square and the round blocks." Ben says. He is happy. He wants to play with Anna.
+
+Anna and Ben smile. They hug. They are friends. They start to make a tower with the blocks. They have fun. They are tired. They fall asleep. The end.
+Lily liked to go to the office with her dad. She saw many people and things there. She had a small desk with paper and crayons. She liked to draw pictures for her dad and his friends.
+
+One day, her dad had a big meeting. He told Lily to stay at her desk and be quiet. He gave her a cup of juice and a snack. He said he would be back soon.
+
+Lily drank her juice and ate her snack. She was still thirsty. She saw a big bottle of water on her dad's desk. She was eager to drink some. She climbed on a chair and reached for the bottle. But the bottle was too heavy. It slipped from her hand and fell on the floor. The water spilled everywhere.
+
+Lily heard a loud noise. She saw her dad and his friends come out of the meeting room. They looked surprised and angry. They saw the water and the bottle on the floor. They saw Lily on the chair.
+
+"Lily, what did you do?" her dad asked.
+
+"I was thirsty. I wanted to drink water. I'm sorry, dad," Lily said.
+
+Her dad sighed. He picked her up and hugged her. He said, "It's okay, Lily. I'm not mad at you. But next time, please ask me before you touch anything on my desk. And be careful with the water. It can make a mess."
+
+Lily nodded. She said, "I'm sorry, dad. I love you."
+
+Her dad smiled. He said, "I love you too, Lily. Come on, let's clean up this mess. And then we can go home and have some more juice."
+Lily and Ben were twins who lived on a big ranch with many animals. They liked to play outside and see the cows, horses, sheep and chickens. One day, they decided to explore the barn where their dad kept the hay and tools.
+
+They opened the big door and saw a lot of hay stacked up high. They thought it would be fun to climb on the hay and make a fort. They started to spring from one bale to another, laughing and shouting.
+
+"Look, Ben, I'm the king of the hay!" Lily said, standing on the top bale.
+
+"I'm the queen, then!" Ben said, joining her.
+
+Suddenly, they heard a loud snort and a thump. They turned around and saw a big bull staring at them with angry eyes. The bull had escaped from his pen and wandered into the barn. He did not like the noise and the movement of the twins. He lowered his head and charged at them.
+
+Lily and Ben were very frightened. They screamed and jumped off the hay, trying to run to the door. But the bull was faster and blocked their way. He pawed the ground and shook his horns.
+
+"Help, help!" Lily and Ben cried.
+
+Their dad heard their cries and ran to the barn. He saw the bull and the twins and grabbed a rope. He threw the rope around the bull's neck and pulled him away from the door.
+
+"Lily, Ben, are you okay?" he asked, hugging them.
+
+"Yes, dad, we're okay. But we're sorry. We didn't know the bull was here. We just wanted to play on the hay," Lily said.
+
+"It's okay, kids. I'm glad you're safe. But you have to be careful in the barn. The bull is not a friendly animal. He can hurt you. Next time, ask me before you go in there, okay?" he said.
+
+"Okay, dad. We're sorry. We love you," Ben said.
+
+"I love you too, kids. Now, let's go back to the house and have some cookies. And don't worry, I'll put the bull back in his pen," he said.
+
+They walked back to the house, holding hands. They learned their lesson and never played in the barn again. They still had fun on the ranch, but they stayed away from the bull.
+Lily was a girl who liked to play with her soft toys. She had a bear, a bunny, a cat and a dog. She gave them names and hugs and made them tea parties. One day, she took them to the park with her mom.
+
+She put them on a bench and ran to the slide. She slid down fast and laughed. Then she saw a big boy with a mean face. He walked to the bench and grabbed her bear. He said, "This is mine now. You can't have it."
+
+Lily was scared and sad. She ran to the boy and said, "No, that's my bear. Give it back. He's my friend." The boy pushed her and said, "Go away. He's my bear now. He's not soft. He's tough."
+
+Lily cried and looked for her mom. She saw her mom talking to another mom. She ran to her and said, "Mom, mom, help me. The boy took my bear. He's mean. He won't give it back."
+
+Her mom saw the boy and the bear. She said, "That's not nice. That's Lily's bear. You have to give it back. How would you feel if someone took your toy?" The boy looked at his mom. She was angry. She said, "You have to say sorry and give the bear back. That's not how we treat others."
+
+The boy felt bad. He said, "Sorry, Lily. Here's your bear. I was wrong. He's soft and nice. You can have him." He gave the bear to Lily. Lily smiled and said, "Thank you, boy. I forgive you. Do you want to play with me and my toys?" The boy nodded and said, "Yes, please. I'm sorry. Can we be friends?" Lily said, "Yes, we can. Come on, let's go to the slide."
+
+Lily and the boy played with the toys and the slide. They had fun and shared. Lily's mom and the boy's mom watched them and smiled. Lily was happy. She saved her bear and made a new friend. She hugged her bear and said, "I love you, bear. You're my hero." The bear smiled and said, "I love you, Lily. You're my hero too."
+On Tuesday, Anna and Ben went to the park with Mom. They saw a big slide, a swing, and a sandbox. Anna wanted to play on the slide, but Ben wanted to play on the swing. Mom said they could take turns.
+
+"Ben, let me go on the slide first," Anna said. "You can go on the swing after me."
+
+"No, I want to go on the swing now," Ben said. "You can go on the slide after me."
+
+They both tried to resist Mom's words. They pulled and pushed each other. Mom was not happy. She said they had to share and be nice.
+
+"Anna, Ben, stop fighting," Mom said. "You can both have fun if you wait and listen. How about you play in the sandbox together for a while?"
+
+Anna and Ben looked at the sandbox. They saw a lot of toys and sand. They thought it might be fun. They nodded and said sorry to Mom. They went to the sandbox and started to build a castle.
+
+Mom smiled and watched them. She saw a graceful bird fly by. She felt the sun and the breeze. She was glad they could enjoy the park. She hoped they would learn to get along.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toy cars. They have a big race track in their room. They make their cars speed around the track. They cheer and laugh.
+
+"Look, Anna, my car is faster than yours!" Ben says.
+
+"No, it is not, Ben, my car is faster!" Anna says.
+
+They keep racing their cars. They do not see that their mom is at the door. She smiles and watches them.
+
+"Anna, Ben, it is time for your nap," mom says.
+
+Anna and Ben groan. They do not want to stop playing. They want to keep racing.
+
+"Please, mom, can we play a little more?" Anna asks.
+
+"Sorry, sweeties, you need to rest. You have been playing a lot. You can play more after your nap," mom says.
+
+She picks up their cars and puts them on a shelf. She takes Anna and Ben to their beds. She tucks them in and kisses them.
+
+"Be patient, Anna and Ben. You will have more fun when you wake up. I love you," mom says.
+
+Anna and Ben sigh. They close their eyes. They are tired. They fall asleep. They dream of their cars and their race track. They are happy.
+Dan and Sam were brothers who liked to play in the farm. They ran and jumped and laughed a lot. They saw many animals, like cows and pigs and chickens. But they did not see the bull. The bull was big and strong and angry. He did not like anyone to come near his field.
+
+One day, Dan and Sam saw a hole in the fence. They wanted to see what was on the other side. They did not know that the bull was there. They crawled through the hole and walked in the field. They saw some flowers and grass and trees. They thought it was fun.
+
+But then they heard a loud noise. It was the bull. He saw them and he was very mad. He ran towards them with his horns. He wanted to hurt them. He was faster than them.
+
+"Run, Sam, run!" Dan shouted. "The bull is coming!"
+
+They tried to run back to the hole, but it was too far. The bull was too close. They looked for a place to hide, but there was none. They were scared.
+
+"Stop, bull, stop!" Sam cried. "Please don't hurt us!"
+
+But the bull did not stop. He did not listen. He reached them and hit them with his horns. He threw them in the air and on the ground. He did not care. He was very mean.
+
+Dan and Sam did not get up. They did not move. They did not laugh. They were hurt. They were sad. They were gone.
+
+The end.
+Lily and Max liked to play with the telephone. They would pretend to call each other and whisper secrets. One day, they found a real telephone in the attic. It was old and dusty, but it had a long cord and a dial.
+
+"Let's play with this one," Lily said. "It looks more fun."
+
+Max nodded. He took one end of the cord and ran to the other side of the attic. Lily stayed near the telephone and waited for him to call.
+
+"Hello, hello," she said, when she heard a click. "Who is this?"
+
+"It's me, Max," Max whispered. "I have a secret to tell you."
+
+"What is it?" Lily asked, curious.
+
+Max looked around. He saw a big box with a red label. It said "Danger. Do not touch."
+
+"I found something cool," he whispered. "It's a box with a red word on it. I think it's a toy."
+
+Lily gasped. She knew what the red word meant. It meant bad. It meant stop. It meant no.
+
+"Max, don't touch it!" she whispered, scared. "It's not a toy. It's danger. It can hurt you."
+
+But Max did not listen. He was too excited. He wanted to see what was inside the box. He put the telephone down and opened the lid.
+
+There was a loud bang. The attic shook. Smoke and fire came out of the box. Lily screamed. Max did not answer.
+
+Lily was very upset. She ran to the stairs and called for help. But it was too late. Max was gone. The telephone was broken. The game was over.
+Ben and Sam were brothers who liked to play games. They had a toy that was a long and soft snake. They could twist it and make different shapes with it. Ben and Sam had fun with the snake, but they also wanted to win. They made a rule: whoever could twist the snake into the best shape would get a candy.
+
+One day, they played with the snake again. Ben twisted it into a circle. He said, "Look, I made a ring. It is shiny and round. I win." Sam twisted it into a star. He said, "Look, I made a star. It is bright and pointy. I win." They both wanted the candy, but they could not agree on who made the best shape. They started to pull the snake from both ends. They said, "Give me the candy. I win. You lose."
+
+The snake was not happy. It was a harmless toy, but it did not like to be pulled and twisted so hard. It felt hurt and angry. It decided to teach Ben and Sam a lesson. It snapped back and hit them both on the face. Ben and Sam cried out in pain and surprise. They dropped the snake and the candy. They rubbed their faces and felt sorry.
+
+They realized that they had been too greedy and mean. They said, "We are sorry, snake. We are sorry, brother. We should not have fought over the candy. We should have shared it and played nicely. You are a good toy and a good friend. We do not want to hurt you or each other." They hugged the snake and each other. They broke the candy in half and gave one piece to the snake. They said, "Here, snake. You can have some candy too. You win. We all win."
+
+The snake smiled and licked the candy. It felt happy and loved. It said, "Thank you, Ben and Sam. You are good brothers and good friends. You learned a good lesson. It is better to share and be kind than to fight and be selfish. You win. We all win." They all ate the candy and played with the snake. They made more shapes and had more fun. They were happy and peaceful.
+Sam likes to drive his toy car. He has a red car with four wheels and a horn. He drives it around the house and makes vroom-vroom noises. He pretends he is a race car driver and goes very fast.
+
+One day, his mom says, "Sam, it is your birthday soon. You will be four years old. Do you want a present?"
+
+Sam thinks for a moment. He loves his car, but he also wants something new. He says, "Yes, mom, I want a present. Can I have a bike?"
+
+"A bike?" his mom says. "A bike is hard to ride. You need to balance and pedal and steer. Are you sure you can do that?"
+
+Sam nods. He is not afraid. He says, "Yes, mom, I can do that. I can drive my car, so I can ride a bike. Please, mom, can I have a bike?"
+
+His mom smiles. She is proud of Sam. She says, "Okay, Sam, you can have a bike. But you have to wear a helmet and be careful. And you have to share your car with your sister sometimes."
+
+Sam agrees. He is happy. He says, "Thank you, mom. You are the best. I can't wait to ride my bike." He hugs his mom and goes back to drive his car. He thinks about his bike and how fast he will go. He is excited for his birthday.
+Anna and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to pretend they were cowboys and horses. Anna had a whip that she made from a rope. She used it to make noises and to tell Ben where to go. Ben had a hat that he found in the garage. He wore it to look like a cowboy.
+
+One day, they saw a big red bird in the tree. It had shiny feathers and a long tail. They wanted to catch it and make it their pet. Anna took her whip and tried to throw it at the bird. But she missed and the whip got stuck in the branches. Ben tried to climb the tree and get the whip. But he slipped and fell to the ground. He hurt his knee and it started to bleed.
+
+Anna ran to Ben and hugged him. She was sorry that she made him fall. She told him to pray and ask God to make him feel better. Ben closed his eyes and prayed. He asked God to heal his knee and to forgive Anna. He also asked God to take care of the red bird and to let it fly free.
+
+Anna and Ben heard a loud squawk. They opened their eyes and saw the red bird flying away. It had freed the whip from the tree and dropped it near them. They smiled and thanked the bird. They picked up the whip and the hat and went back to the house. They told their mom what happened and she gave them a band-aid and a cookie. They were happy and they learned to be careful and kind.
+Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play with blocks and puzzles. They also like to learn math. Math is fun and helps them count and make shapes.
+
+One day, Tom and Lily are playing with blocks. They want to make a tower. They have ten blocks. Tom says, "Let's make a tower with five blocks each. Then we can see who has the taller tower."
+
+Lily agrees. She takes five blocks and starts to stack them. Tom does the same. They count the blocks as they stack them. "One, two, three, four, five," they say.
+
+But then, Lily's tower falls down. The blocks crash on the floor. Lily is sad. She says, "Oh no, my tower is broken. I don't have enough blocks to make a new one."
+
+Tom sees Lily is sad. He is a good friend. He says, "Don't be sad, Lily. I have an idea. We can share the blocks and make one big tower together. Then we can both have a tall tower."
+
+Lily smiles. She says, "That's a good idea, Tom. You are a reliable friend. You always provide help when I need it. Thank you."
+
+Tom and Lily share the blocks and make one big tower. They count the blocks again. "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten," they say. They are happy. They hug each other. They say, "We love math and we love each other."
+Sara and Ben went to the zoo with their mom. They saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and zebras. But Sara's favorite animal was the otter. She liked how it swam and played in the water. She wanted to touch it and hug it.
+
+"Mom, can I go near the otter?" Sara asked.
+
+"No, honey, you have to stay behind the fence. The otter might bite you or scratch you. It is not a pet, it is a wild animal." Mom said.
+
+But Sara did not listen. She waited until Mom and Ben were looking at the penguins. Then she climbed over the fence and ran to the otter. She reached out her hand and tried to grab its fur.
+
+The otter did not like that. It was scared and angry. It turned around and bit Sara's hand hard. Sara screamed and let go of the otter. She saw blood on her hand and felt a lot of pain.
+
+Mom and Ben heard Sara's scream and ran to her. They saw what happened and were very worried. Mom picked up Sara and took her to the zoo staff. They called an ambulance and took Sara to the hospital.
+
+Sara had to get stitches and a bandage on her hand. She also had to take medicine to prevent infection. She cried and said she was sorry. She learned her lesson. She should have listened to Mom and respected the otter. She should not have tried to touch something delicate and wild. She gazed at her hand and wished she could go back in time.
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play together. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big train set that they could build on the floor. They made long tracks, bridges, tunnels, and stations for their trains.
+
+One day, their mom said, "Tom and Lily, it's time to clean up. Put your toys away and come to the table for lunch." But Tom and Lily did not want to stop playing. They said, "No, mom, we want to play more. Please, please, please!"
+
+Their mom was not happy. She said, "You have to listen to me. You can play later, but now you need to eat. If you don't clean up, I will separate your toys and you won't be able to play together."
+
+Tom and Lily did not believe their mom. They thought she was joking. They said, "You can't do that, mom. We love our toys. We love each other. We always play together."
+
+Their mom was very angry. She said, "Fine, then. You leave me no choice. I will separate your toys and you will see." She took a big box and started to put some of the trains and tracks in it. She said, "These are Tom's toys. He can play with them in his room. And these are Lily's toys. She can play with them in her room. You can't share them anymore."
+
+Tom and Lily were shocked. They saw their mom take away their toys and put them in different rooms. They felt sad and scared. They wanted to play together, not alone. They said, "Mom, no, please, don't do that. We're sorry, we're sorry, we're sorry!"
+
+But their mom did not listen. She said, "Too late. You should have listened to me. Now you have to learn your lesson. Maybe next time you will clean up when I ask you to. Now go to your rooms and stay there until I call you for lunch."
+
+Tom and Lily ran to their rooms, crying. They looked at their toys, but they did not feel like playing. They missed their other toys and their twin. They wished they had cleaned up when their mom asked them to. They wondered if their mom would ever let them play together again. They felt very lonely and sad. They learned that not listening to their mom had a bad ending.
+Sam and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they find a big peach tree. The tree has many ripe peaches. Sam and Ben want to eat some.
+
+"Look, Ben, a peach tree!" Sam says. "Let's get some peaches. They are yummy."
+
+"How can we get them?" Ben asks. "They are too high. We are too small."
+
+Sam has an idea. He sees a stick on the ground. He picks it up. He says, "We can use this stick. We can shoot the peaches. Then they will fall down."
+
+Sam and Ben think Sam is smart. They take turns to shoot the peaches with the stick. They aim at the peaches and throw the stick. Sometimes they miss. Sometimes they hit. When they hit, the peaches fall down. Sam and Ben run to catch them.
+
+They catch many peaches. They are happy. They sit under the tree and eat the peaches. They are juicy and sweet. Sam and Ben share the peaches. They say, "Thank you, peach tree. Thank you, stick. Thank you, Sam. Thank you, Ben."
+
+They are good friends. They enjoy the peaches. They have fun.
+Ben was a little boy who liked to play with his cars. He had many cars of different colors and sizes. He made them zoom on the floor, on the sofa, on the table. He liked to make noises like vroom, beep, honk.
+
+One day, Ben was not feeling well. He had a fever and a sore throat. His mom took him to the doctor. The doctor looked at him and gave him some medicine. He said the medicine would make him feel better soon. Ben did not like the medicine. It was bitter and yucky.
+
+When Ben came home, he was sad and tired. He did not want to play with his cars. He lay on his bed and closed his eyes. His mom came to check on him. She saw his cars on the floor. She had a thoughtful idea. She picked up some of his cars and put them on his bed. She said, "Ben, your cars are here to keep you company. They want you to get well soon. They miss you zooming with them."
+
+Ben opened his eyes and saw his cars. He smiled a little. He reached for his favorite car, a red one. He said, "Thank you, mom. Thank you, cars. You are very nice." He hugged his car and his mom. He felt a little better. He decided to try the medicine again. He hoped he would be well enough to zoom with his cars tomorrow.
+Ben and Mia liked to play in the park. They had a lot of fun on the swings, the slide and the seesaw. But they also liked to explore the old church next to the park. The church was very big and very old. It had ancient stones and windows with many colors.
+
+One day, they found a cross in the church. It was made of wood and metal and it had a picture of a man on it. Ben and Mia did not know who the man was, but they thought the cross was pretty. They both wanted to hold it and look at it.
+
+They started to fight over the cross. Ben pulled it from Mia's hands and said, "It's mine!" Mia grabbed it back and said, "No, it's mine!" They tugged and pushed and shouted at each other. They did not share or say sorry.
+
+The cross broke in two. Ben and Mia were shocked and sad. They had ruined the ancient cross. They felt bad and wished they had not fought. They hugged and said sorry to each other. They also said sorry to the man on the cross. They hoped he would forgive them. They decided to be kind and gentle with the old things in the church. They learned that fighting was not fun.
+Lily was curious about the big helicopter that flew over her house every day. She wanted to see it up close and touch it. One day, she saw the helicopter land in a field near her house. She ran out of her door and followed it.
+
+"Wait, Lily!" her mom shouted. "That's not safe! Come back here!"
+
+But Lily did not listen. She was too excited. She reached the field and saw the helicopter. It was shiny and loud. She saw a man get out of it. He wore a green suit and a helmet.
+
+"Hello, little girl," the man said. "What are you doing here?"
+
+"I want to see your helicopter," Lily said. "Can I touch it?"
+
+The man smiled. "Sure, you can touch it. But be careful. It's very hot and sharp. And don't go near the blades. They can hurt you."
+
+Lily nodded. She touched the helicopter. It was hot and smooth. She liked it. She walked around it and looked at the blades. They were big and shiny. She wondered how they made the helicopter fly.
+
+She reached out her hand to touch a blade. But the man saw her and grabbed her arm.
+
+"Stop!" he yelled. "Don't touch that! It's dangerous!"
+
+Lily was scared. She felt a pain in her arm. She started to cry.
+
+"I'm sorry, I'm sorry," the man said. "I didn't mean to hurt you. I just wanted to protect you. Are you okay?"
+
+Lily nodded. She stopped crying. She looked at the man. He was nice. He gave her a band-aid for her arm.
+
+"Thank you," Lily said.
+
+"You're welcome," the man said. "But you shouldn't run away from your mom. She must be worried about you. Let's go find her."
+
+Lily agreed. She regretted running away from her mom. She learned her lesson. She held the man's hand and walked back to her house. She saw her mom waiting for her. She hugged her and said sorry.
+
+"It's okay, Lily," her mom said. "I'm glad you're safe. But don't ever do that again. Helicopters are not toys. They are for work and emergencies. You have to be careful around them."
+
+Lily understood. She thanked the man again and waved goodbye to the helicopter. She went inside with her mom and played with her own toys. She was still curious about the helicopter, but she knew she had to respect it. She decided to ask the man more questions the next time she saw him.
+Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play together at school. One day, they see a big sign on the wall. The sign has many pictures and numbers. It is a calendar. The sign says: "Art Show Next Week. Sign Up Here."
+
+Tom and Lily love art. They want to show their paintings at the art show. They run to the sign and write their names with a crayon. They are very happy.
+
+But then, they see Ben. Ben is mean. He does not like art. He likes to break things. He sees Tom and Lily's names on the sign. He laughs and says: "You are bad at art. Your paintings are ugly. I will rip them up."
+
+Tom and Lily are sad and scared. They do not want Ben to ruin their paintings. They do not know what to do.
+
+They go to their teacher, Miss Rose. They tell her what Ben said. Miss Rose is kind and smart. She says: "Don't worry, Tom and Lily. Your paintings are beautiful. You are good at art. Ben is wrong. He is just jealous. He needs to learn to be nice and respect others. I will talk to him and his parents. You can still sign up for the art show. I will keep your paintings safe until then."
+
+Tom and Lily are glad. They thank Miss Rose. They hug each other. They learn that they should not listen to mean words. They should be proud of their work. They should be brave and stand up for themselves. They should also be kind and respectful to others. They are excited for the art show. They hope Ben will learn his lesson.
+Lily and Tom are playing hide and seek in the park. Lily is the seeker and Tom is the hider. Lily counts to ten and then looks for Tom. She hears a noise behind a big tree. She thinks it is Tom and runs to the tree. She says, "I found you, Tom!"
+
+But when she looks behind the tree, she does not see Tom. She sees a cute puppy. The puppy has brown fur and black spots. It wags its tail and licks Lily's face. Lily is surprised and happy. She says, "Hello, puppy! Where did you come from?"
+
+The puppy barks and reveals a collar around its neck. The collar has a tag with a name and a phone number. Lily reads the tag. It says, "Spot. Call 555-1234 if lost." Lily says, "Oh, Spot, you are lost. We have to find your owner."
+
+Lily picks up Spot and looks for Tom. She sees him hiding behind a bench. She says, "Tom, look what I found! A cute puppy! His name is Spot and he is lost. We have to call his owner and help him."
+
+Tom comes out of his hiding spot and sees Spot. He says, "Wow, Spot is cute! Can I pet him?" Lily nods and lets Tom pet Spot. Spot wags his tail and licks Tom's face. Tom says, "He likes us! Can we keep him?"
+
+Lily says, "No, Tom, we can't keep him. He has an owner who loves him and misses him. We have to call his owner and give him back." Tom says, "Okay, Lily, you are right. Let's call his owner and make him happy."
+
+Lily and Tom use Lily's mom's phone to call Spot's owner. The owner is very happy and grateful. He says, "Thank you, Lily and Tom, for finding Spot. He is my best friend and I was very worried. You are very kind and brave. Can I come and get him?"
+
+Lily and Tom say, "Yes, please come and get him. We are in the park near the big tree. We will wait for you." The owner says, "I will be there soon. Thank you again."
+
+Lily and Tom hug and kiss Spot and say goodbye. They are sad to let him go, but they are happy to make his owner happy. They say, "We love you, Spot. Have a good life. Maybe we will see you again."
+
+Spot barks and wags his tail. He loves Lily and Tom too. He says, "Thank you, Lily and Tom. You are good friends. Have fun playing. Maybe we will see you again."
+Sam and Mia are friends. They like to play with dolls and cars. One day, they go to the toy store with their moms. They see many toys that they want.
+
+"Look, Mia, a big pink doll! She has a dress and a hat. Can I have her, Mom?" Sam asks.
+
+"Sorry, Sam, that doll is too much money. We only have a little money. We need to buy cheap toys," Mom says.
+
+Sam is sad. He likes the big pink doll. He sits on the floor and cries.
+
+Mia sees Sam. She feels sorry for him. She has an idea.
+
+"Sam, don't cry. I have a cheap toy for you. Do you want to see?" Mia says.
+
+Sam looks at Mia. He wipes his tears. He nods.
+
+Mia takes out a small yellow car from her pocket. She gives it to Sam.
+
+"Here, Sam, this is for you. I got it last week from a box. It is cheap, but it is fun. You can make it go vroom vroom. Do you like it?" Mia says.
+
+Sam takes the small yellow car. He smiles. He likes it. He makes it go vroom vroom.
+
+"Thank you, Mia. You are a good friend. I like the car. Do you want to play with me?" Sam says.
+
+"Yes, Sam. I want to play with you. We can share our toys. Let's sit here and play," Mia says.
+
+Sam and Mia sit on the floor and play with their toys. They are happy. Their moms are happy too. They hug each other. They are good friends.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the kitchen. They wanted to make a cake for Mom. They found some flour, eggs, milk and sugar. They put them in a big bowl and mixed them with a spoon.
+
+"Can I use the salt?" Tom asked. He saw a blue box on the counter.
+
+"No, Tom, salt is not for cake. Salt is for soup or meat. Cake needs sweet things, not harsh things." Lily said. She knew salt was harsh because she tasted it once and it made her mouth dry and sour.
+
+"But I like salt. Salt makes things tasty. Please, Lily, let me use the salt." Tom begged. He reached for the blue box.
+
+Lily tried to stop him, but it was too late. Tom opened the box and poured a lot of salt into the bowl. The white grains looked like snow.
+
+"Tom, what did you do? You ruined the cake! Mom will be mad at us!" Lily cried. She was very sad and angry.
+
+Tom realized he made a mistake. He saw Lily's tears and felt sorry. He hugged her and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I didn't mean to spoil the cake. I just wanted to try something new. Can we make another cake?"
+
+Lily sniffed and nodded. She forgave Tom. They threw away the salty batter and washed the bowl. They found more flour, eggs, milk and sugar. They made a new cake, this time without salt. They put it in the oven and waited.
+
+When Mom came home, she smelled the cake and smiled. She saw Lily and Tom in the kitchen and hugged them. She said, "What a nice surprise! You made a cake for me! Thank you, my sweeties. You are the best!"
+
+Lily and Tom smiled and said, "You're welcome, Mom. We love you!"

+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a big toy that can spin. They take turns to sit on the toy and push it to make it spin.
+
+One day, they go to the park and see that the toy is broken. Someone has cut the rope that holds the toy. The toy cannot spin anymore. Lily and Ben are very sad.
+
+"Who did this?" Lily asks. "Why did they break our toy?"
+
+"I don't know," Ben says. "Maybe they are mean. Maybe they don't like to play."
+
+Lily and Ben look around. They see a boy and a girl sitting on a bench. They have scissors in their hands. They are laughing.
+
+"Hey, you!" Lily shouts. "Did you break our toy?"
+
+The boy and the girl look at Lily and Ben. They are not sorry. They are rude.
+
+"Yes, we did," the boy says. "We don't like your toy. It is boring. We like to cut things."
+
+"That's not nice!" Ben says. "That's bad! You should not cut things that are not yours. You should say sorry."
+
+The boy and the girl do not say sorry. They do not care. They stand up and run away.
+
+Lily and Ben are very sad. They do not have their toy anymore. They do not have anything to play with.
+
+Then, they see a man walking towards them. He is wearing a hat and a badge. He is a park ranger. He has a big smile.
+
+"Hello, kids," he says. "I saw what happened. I'm sorry about your toy. That was very wrong of those kids. They should not have done that."
+
+"Can you fix our toy?" Lily asks.
+
+"I'm afraid not," the park ranger says. "But I have something for you. Follow me."
+
+The park ranger leads Lily and Ben to his truck. He opens the back door. He takes out a big box. He gives it to Lily and Ben.
+
+"What is it?" Ben asks.
+
+"It's a new toy," the park ranger says. "It's a spinning top. You can spin it on the ground. It makes different colors and sounds. It's very fun. I hope you like it."
+
+Lily and Ben open the box. They see the spinning top. It is shiny and colorful. They are very happy.
+
+"Thank you, thank you!" they say. "You are very kind. You are the best."

+"You're welcome, kids," the park ranger says. "Now, go and play. Have fun. And be careful with scissors."

+
+One day, Ben and Spot go to the park with Mom. Mom says, "Ben, you have to put the leash on Spot. There are many cars and people here. Spot might get lost or hurt." Ben nods and puts the leash on Spot. He holds the leash tight in his hand.
+
+The park is very nice today. The sun is shining and the air is mild. Ben and Spot see many flowers and birds. They also see other kids and dogs. Ben says, "Hi!" to them and Spot wags his tail.
+
+Ben and Spot find a big field. Mom says, "Ben, you can let go of the leash here. There is no danger. But stay close to me, okay?" Ben says, "Okay, Mom!" He lets go of the leash and runs with Spot. They have fun chasing each other and rolling on the grass.
+
+Ben and Spot are very happy. They love each other and they love the park. They also love Mom, who watches them with a smile. Ben says, "Mom, this is the best day ever!" Mom says, "I'm glad, Ben. I love you and Spot very much." Ben and Spot run to Mom and give her a hug and a lick. They are a happy family.
+Tim and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. The park has a big slide, a swing, and a sandbox. Sometimes they pretend the park is a jungle. They make animal sounds and look for bugs.
+
+One day, they see a new sign in the park. The sign says: "Keep the park clear. Do not leave trash or toys behind." Tim and Mia do not know what the sign means. They ask their mom.
+
+Mom says: "The sign means you have to clean up after you play. You have to throw away your trash and take your toys with you. That way, the park stays nice and clear for everyone."
+
+Tim and Mia nod. They understand. They want the park to be nice and clear. They do not want to make the park dirty or messy.
+
+They play in the park for a while. They slide, swing, and dig in the sandbox. They have fun. They pretend they are monkeys, lions, and snakes in the jungle. They make loud noises and laugh.

+Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play soccer. They were on the same team and they had fun kicking the ball and scoring goals. Lily was very good at soccer and she liked to teach Ben how to play better. She showed him how to pass, how to dribble and how to shoot.
+
+One day, a new boy joined their team. His name was Max and he was also very good at soccer. He could run fast, he could dodge and he could score from far away. Lily and Ben were happy to have a new friend, but Max was not very friendly. He did not want to share the ball, he did not want to pass and he did not want to learn from Lily. He only wanted to show off and be the best.
+
+Max made Lily and Ben feel jealous and angry. They did not like how he played and they did not like how he talked. He said things like "I am the best", "You are slow" and "You need to practice more". He made them feel bad about themselves and their team. Lily and Ben started to argue with Max and with each other. They stopped having fun and they stopped playing well.
+
+One day, their coach saw them fighting and he was not happy. He called them over and he said "You are a team, not enemies. You need to work together, not against each other. You need to help each other, not hurt each other. You need to learn from each other, not ignore each other. You are all good at soccer, but you can be better if you share, pass and teach. That is how you win and that is how you have fun."
+
+Lily, Ben and Max listened to their coach and they felt sorry. They realized that they had been mean and selfish. They apologized to each other and they decided to try again. They started to share the ball, they started to pass and they started to teach. They learned from Lily, they learned from Ben and they learned from Max. They played better and they played happier. They became a team and they became friends.

+
+The dog wags its tail and comes closer. Ben is scared. He thinks the dog might bite them.
+
+"Let's go, Lily," Ben says. "This dog is poor. He has no home and no food. He might be bad."
+
+Lily shakes her head. She likes the dog. She wants to help him.
+
+"No, Ben," Lily says. "This dog is not bad. He is lonely and needs a friend. We can share our snacks with him. Maybe he will stay with us."
+
+Ben is not sure. He likes Lily, but he does not like the dog. He thinks the dog is dirty and smelly.
+
+"Lily, this dog is not our friend," Ben says. "He is not our pet. He belongs to the park. We should leave him alone."
+
+Lily is sad. She does not want to leave the dog. She thinks the dog is cute and nice.
+
+"Ben, this dog is our friend," Lily says. "He is our pet. He belongs to us. We should take him home."
+
+Ben and Lily argue. They do not agree. The dog looks at them with big eyes. He does not know what to do.
+
+Who is right? Who is wrong? What will happen to the dog? Will he find a home and a family? Will he be a success?

+
+"Look, there is a man with a net!" Ben says. "Maybe he can help us."

+
+"We are Anna and Ben. We play in the park. Who are you?" Anna says.
+
+"I am Tom. I live in the box. It is my home. Do you want to play with me?" the voice says.
+
+Anna and Ben are not sure. They do not know Tom. He sounds friendly, but he is mysterious. They cannot see him.
+
+"Can you come out of the box? We want to see you," Ben says.
+

+
+When they open their eyes, they see a boy with a hat and a coat. He has a big smile. He holds a pitch in his hand. It is shiny and has a star on it.
+
+"Hi, I am Tom. This is my pitch. It is magic. It can make things appear and disappear. Do you want to see?" he says.
+
+Anna and Ben are amazed. They want to see the magic pitch. They nod and say yes.
+
+Tom throws the pitch in the air. It spins and sparkles. Then, it lands on the ground. Something appears next to it. It is a cake with candles.
+
+"Wow, a cake! How did you do that?" Anna says.
+
+"It is easy. You just have to wish for something and throw the pitch. Then, it will appear. But you have to be careful. The pitch can also make things disappear. If you throw it again, the cake will be gone," Tom says.
+
+Anna and Ben want to try the pitch. They take turns to wish for something and throw the pitch. They make a balloon, a teddy bear, a bike and a flower appear. They are happy.
+
+They play with the pitch and the things they make until it is time to go home. They thank Tom for sharing his pitch and his magic. They say goodbye and promise to come back.
+
+Tom waves and smiles. He picks up his pitch and goes back to his box. He is happy too. He has made new friends. He likes to play in the park.

+
+Mom sighed and said, "I know, kids. I know you did not mean to hurt me or the hanger. But you have to be careful with other people's things. You have to ask before you touch them. And you have to be kind to each other. Poking and pushing is not fun. It is mean and dangerous. Do you understand?"

+
+She waited until Lisa left the room. Then she jumped on the cage and tried to open it. But the cage was locked and strong. Poppy could not open it. She pushed and pulled and scratched and bit. But nothing worked.

+The bird saw Poppy and felt scared. He flapped his wings and squawked. He wanted Lisa to come back and save him. He did not like Poppy. He did not want to play with her.
+
+Lisa heard the noise and came back. She saw Poppy and the bird and was angry. She picked up Poppy and said, "Bad cat, bad cat. You can't do that. You scared Sunny. You have to leave him alone. Go to your bed and stay there."

+"Hello, hello, we are on a raft too. We like to sail and meet new friends. Hello, hello, we are on a raft too. Can we join you and have some fun?"
+
+Tim and Mia wave and smile back. They are friendly and kind. They move their rafts closer and say hello. They share their sticks and leaves and vines. They make one big raft and sail together.
+
+They have a wonderful time. They are happy and friendly. They are on a raft.
+Sara and Ben are playing with their toys in the living room. Sara has a lovely doll with a pink dress and long hair. Ben has a big truck with four wheels and a horn. They are having fun, but they also want to try each other's toys.
+
+"Can I play with your truck, Ben?" Sara asks.
+
+"OK, but only for a little bit. Then you give it back to me," Ben says.
+
+"Can I play with your doll, Sara?" Ben asks.
+
+"OK, but only for a little bit. Then you give it back to me," Sara says.
+
+They swap their toys and start to play. Sara likes to make the truck go vroom and beep. Ben likes to comb the doll's hair and make her talk. But soon they get bored and want their own toys back.
+
+"Give me my truck, Sara. It's mine," Ben says.
+
+"Give me my doll, Ben. It's mine," Sara says.
+
+They both pull on their toys, trying to get them back. But they pull too hard and the toys break. The truck's wheel comes off and the doll's dress tears. They hear a loud sound of ripping and snapping. They both stop and look at their toys. They are sad and angry.
+
+"Look what you did, Sara. You broke my truck," Ben says.
+
+"Look what you did, Ben. You tore my doll's dress," Sara says.
+
+They start to cry and yell at each other. They don't want to play anymore. They want their mommy and daddy.
+
+Mommy and daddy hear the noise and come to the living room. They see the broken toys and the crying children. They are not happy.
+
+"What happened here, Sara and Ben?" Mommy asks.
+
+"They broke my toy. They tore my toy. They are mean," Sara and Ben say.
+
+Mommy and daddy sigh and hug their children. They try to calm them down and explain.
+
+"Sara and Ben, you need to share your toys and be gentle with them. They are not yours alone. They are for both of you to enjoy. And if you break them, you can't play with them anymore. Do you understand?" Daddy says.
+
+Sara and Ben nod and sniffle. They are sorry for what they did. They say sorry to each other and to their parents.
+
+"Can you fix our toys, mommy and daddy?" Sara and Ben ask.
+
+"We'll try, honey. But some things can't be fixed. You have to be careful with them. And you have to be nice to each other. OK?" Mommy says.
+
+"OK, mommy. OK, daddy. We love you. We love our toys. We love each other," Sara and Ben say.
+
+They hug their parents and their toys. They smile and wipe their tears. They learn their lesson and promise to play nicely. They are happy again.
+Lily and Tom were playing with their toy trains on the floor. They liked to make noises and pretend they were driving fast. Lily had a red train and Tom had a blue one.
+
+"Look, my train can take more things than yours!" Lily said. She put some blocks and a teddy bear on her train. "It is very strong and big!"
+
+Tom did not like that. He wanted his train to be the best. He looked around and saw a kettle on the stove. He had an idea. He ran to the kitchen and grabbed the kettle. It was hot and had steam coming out of it.
+
+"Ha! My train can take steam!" Tom said. He put the kettle on his train and pushed it towards Lily. "It is very fast and brilliant!"
+
+Lily was scared. She saw the steam and felt the heat. She thought the train was going to explode. She screamed and ran away. "No, no, no! Your train is bad and dangerous!"
+
+Tom felt sorry. He did not mean to scare Lily. He took the kettle off his train and put it back on the stove. He went to Lily and hugged her. "I'm sorry, Lily. I was just playing. Your train is good and nice."
+
+Lily smiled and hugged him back. "It's okay, Tom. I was just playing too. Your train is cool and fun."
+
+They went back to their toy trains and played together. They shared their blocks and teddy bears. They made noises and pretended they were driving fast. They were happy and friendly.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. There is a big swing in the park. Anna and Ben want to swing on it.
+
+"Can I swing first?" Anna asks.
+
+"OK, you can swing first. But not for too long. I want to swing too," Ben says.
+
+Anna nods. She runs to the swing and sits on it. She holds the ropes tight. Ben pushes her gently. Anna feels happy. She swings higher and higher.

+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play in the park with their mom. One day, they see a tall man with a big hat and a long coat. He has a funny ear that sticks out from his hat.
+
+"Look, Ben, look!" Anna says. "That man has a funny ear!"
+
+Ben gazes at the man. He thinks the ear is funny too. He wants to touch it and see if it is soft or hard.
+
+"Can I touch your ear, mister?" Ben asks. He runs to the man and reaches for his ear.
+
+The man is surprised. He bends down and smiles at Ben.
+
+"Hello, little boy," he says. "Why do you want to touch my ear?"
+
+"Because it is funny," Ben says. "It sticks out from your hat."
+
+The man laughs. He takes off his hat and shows Ben his ear. It is big and round and has a hole in it.
+
+"This is my ear," he says. "It is not funny. It is special. I got this hole when I was a soldier. A bullet went through my ear and made this hole. It hurt a lot, but I was brave. Now I wear this hat to cover it."
+
+Ben is amazed. He touches the hole gently and says, "Wow, you are brave, mister. I'm sorry it hurt. Does it still hurt?"
+
+The man shakes his head. He says, "No, it doesn't hurt anymore. It just makes me different. But different is good. It makes me who I am."
+
+Anna comes to join them. She gazes at the man's ear too. She says, "I think your ear is cool, mister. It tells a story. Can you tell us more stories?"
+
+The man nods. He says, "Sure, I can tell you more stories. I have many stories to tell. Come, sit with me on this bench. I will tell you about my adventures as a soldier."
+
+Anna and Ben are happy. They sit with the man on the bench and listen to his stories. They learn a lot from him. They think he is a kind and brave man. They like his funny ear. They make a new friend.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big dog. The dog is brown and fluffy. It has a red collar.
+
+"Wow, look at the dog!" Ben says. "It is so big and soft. Can we pet it?"
+
+Anna is not sure. She is a little scared of dogs. She thinks the dog might bite or bark. She does not want to embarrass Ben. She says, "Maybe. Let's ask the owner first."
+
+They walk to the owner. The owner is a lady. She is busy on her phone. She does not see Anna and Ben.
+
+"Excuse me, lady," Ben says. "Can we pet your dog?"
+
+The lady does not hear Ben. She keeps talking on her phone. Ben tries again. He says louder, "Excuse me, lady. Can we pet your dog?"
+
+The lady still does not hear Ben. She walks away with the dog. Ben feels sad. He says, "She did not answer my question. She was too busy. That is rude."
+
+Anna feels sorry for Ben. She says, "Don't worry, Ben. Maybe we can find another dog to pet. Or we can play on the swings. Come on, let's go."
+
+They run to the swings. They forget about the dog. They have fun. They are happy.
+Jen and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big bird in a tree. The bird has a red head and a yellow beak. It makes a loud song.

+"Wow, look at the bird!" Jen says. "It is so pretty and noisy."
+
+"Can we feed it?" Tom asks. He has some bread in his bag.
+
+Jen nods. She thinks the bird will like the bread. She takes a piece and throws it to the bird. The bird flies down and eats the bread. It makes a happy song.
+
+"More, more!" Tom says. He gives Jen more bread. Jen throws it to the bird. The bird eats more bread. It makes a louder song.
+
+But the bird is not happy. The bird is hungry. The bread is not enough. The bird wants more food. It looks at Jen and Tom. It sees their small arms and legs. It thinks they are food too.
+
+The bird flies up and swoops down. It grabs Jen with its claws. Jen screams. Tom screams. The bird carries Jen away. It makes a scary song.
+
+Tom is alone. He is sad. He is scared. He has no bread. He has no friend. He cries. The bird is gone. The park is quiet.
+Sara and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big circle on the grass. It is made of stones and flowers. Sara likes the flowers. She picks one and smells it. It is sweet and pretty.
+
+"Look, Ben, a flower circle!" Sara says. "Let's follow it and see where it goes."
+
+Ben nods. He likes to follow things. He follows Sara as she walks around the circle. They see more flowers and stones. They also see some bugs and birds. They are happy and curious.
+
+But then they see a man. He is sitting on a bench. He has a big bag and a hat. He looks angry and sad. He sees Sara and Ben and frowns.
+
+"Hey, you kids, get away from my circle!" he shouts. "It is mine, not yours. Go play somewhere else."
+
+Sara and Ben are scared and confused. They do not understand why the man is so mean. They do not want to make him more mad. They drop the flower and run away.
+
+"Why is he so bitter, Sara?" Ben asks. "He has a nice circle. Why does he not share it?"
+
+Sara shakes her head. She does not know either. She thinks the man is lonely and unhappy. She wishes he could be nice and friendly.
+
+"Maybe he needs a hug, Ben," she says. "But we should not go back. He might yell at us again. Let's find another circle to follow. A happy circle."
+Lily loved her cat, Max. He was great. He was soft and warm and liked to play with her. Lily liked to dress him up in funny clothes and hats. She thought he looked cute.
+
+One day, Lily wanted to show Max to her friends. She put a pink dress and a bow on him and carried him to the park. She saw her friends, Ben and Anna, playing with a ball. She ran to them and said, "Look at my cat! Isn't he great?"
+
+Ben and Anna looked at Max and laughed. They pointed at him and said, "That's not a cat! That's a doll! Cats don't wear dresses and bows! You're silly, Lily!"
+
+Lily felt embarrass. She felt her face get hot and her eyes get wet. She hugged Max and said, "No, he's not a doll! He's my cat! He's great!"
+
+But Ben and Anna kept laughing. They kicked the ball at Lily and Max and made them fall. Max got scared and scratched Lily's face. He ran away from her and hid under a tree. Lily cried and cried. She lost her cat and her friends. She had a bad day.

+
+"Wow, look at the balloons!" Lily said. "They are so pretty and shiny. I want one!"
+
+"Me too!" Ben said. "Let's wave to the truck and maybe they will give us some."
+
+They ran to the edge of the park and waved their arms. The truck driver saw them and smiled. He stopped the truck and opened the door.
+
+"Hello, kids!" he said. "Do you like balloons?"
+
+"Yes, yes, yes!" Lily and Ben said.
+
+"Well, I have a lot of balloons here. I'm going to a party, but I can spare some for you. You can each have one balloon. But you have to choose quickly, because I have to go soon."
+
+Lily and Ben looked at the balloons. There were red, blue, yellow, green, pink, purple and orange ones. They all looked so nice. How could they choose?
+
+"I like the red one," Lily said. "It's my favorite color. What about you, Ben?"
+
+Ben looked at the balloons. He liked the red one too. But he also liked the blue one. And the yellow one. And the green one. He couldn't decide. He wanted them all.
+
+"I don't know," Ben said. "They are all good. I have no opinion."
+
+The truck driver frowned. He didn't have much time. He needed to go to the party.
+
+"Come on, Ben," he said. "You have to pick one. You can't have them all. That's not fair."
+
+Ben felt sad. He wanted to be fair. But he also wanted to have all the balloons. He looked at Lily. She was holding the red balloon. She looked happy.
+
+"Can I have the red one too?" Ben asked.
+
+Lily shook her head. She didn't want to share. She liked the red balloon. It was hers.
+
+"No, Ben," she said. "You have to choose another one. The red one is mine."
+
+Ben felt angry. He didn't like Lily's answer. He wanted the red balloon. It was the best one.
+
+"No, Lily," he said. "I want the red one. Give it to me."
+
+He reached for the red balloon. Lily pulled it away. They started to fight. They pulled and pushed and shouted. The red balloon popped. It made a loud noise. Lily and Ben stopped fighting. They looked at the balloon. It was gone. There was only a piece of rubber left.
+
+They felt sorry. They had ruined the balloon. They had wasted their chance. They had hurt their friendship.
+
+The truck driver sighed. He shook his head. He gave them each a different balloon. He hoped they would learn their lesson.
+
+"Here, kids," he said. "Take these balloons. And be nice to each other. And don't fight over silly things. Balloons are fun, but friends are more important."
+
+He got back in the truck and drove away. He honked his horn. Lily and Ben waved goodbye. They looked at their balloons. They looked at each other. They said sorry. They hugged. They decided to share. They decided to be friends. They learned their lesson. They were happy.

+
+Tom runs to her and hugs her. He says, "Don't cry, Lily. I'm sorry your hat is broken. Do you want to wear my hat? It has a star. You can have it."
+
+Lily looks at him and stops crying. She says, "Thank you, Tom. You are a good friend. But I don't want to wear your hat. I like your hat, but it is yours. I want to wear my hat. It has a crack, but it is mine."

+Sara and Tom were friends. They liked to play and act. Sometimes they acted like animals, sometimes they acted like heroes. They had many dreams of what they wanted to be when they grew up.
+
+One day, they decided to act like explorers. They put on hats and coats and went to the park. They pretended the park was a jungle full of dangers and wonders. They saw birds and flowers and bugs. They climbed trees and rocks and bridges.
+
+They came to a big pond. They wanted to see what was in the water. They saw fish and frogs and ducks. They thought it would be fun to act like ducks and swim in the pond. They took off their hats and coats and jumped in the water.
+
+But the water was very cold. Sara and Tom felt the cold in their bones. They shivered and gasped. They tried to swim back to the shore, but the water was too deep and too strong. They called for help, but no one heard them. They were scared and sad.
+
+They never got out of the water. They never acted again. They never dreamed again. They were gone.
+Tom was a little boy who liked to play with his toys. He had a big truck, a red ball, a soft bear and a yellow train. He was happy when he played with his toys, but he was not nice to other kids. He did not share his toys, he said mean things and he laughed when they cried. He was ignorant, and he did not know how to be a good friend.
+
+One day, a new girl came to his class. Her name was Mia, and she had curly hair and brown eyes. She smiled at Tom and asked if she could play with his truck. Tom said no, and he pushed her away. Mia fell down and hurt her knee. She cried, and the teacher came to help her. The teacher was angry at Tom, and she told him to say sorry. Tom did not say sorry, he said he did not care. He was ignorant, and he did not know how to be kind.
+
+The next day, Tom saw Mia again. She had a band-aid on her knee, and she was playing with a doll. Tom wanted to play with the doll, but he did not ask. He grabbed the doll from Mia, and he ran away. Mia chased him, and she shouted at him to give it back. Tom did not give it back, he said it was his. He was ignorant, and he did not know how to be fair.
+
+But then, something happened. Tom tripped over a rock, and he dropped the doll. The doll broke, and its head came off. Tom was scared, and he did not know what to do. He looked at the doll, and he felt sad. He looked at Mia, and he saw her face. She was not angry, she was sad too. She had tears in her eyes, and she said, "That was my favorite doll. My grandma gave it to me. She is not here anymore. She is in heaven." Tom felt something in his chest. It was his heart, and it was beating fast. He felt sorry for Mia, and he wanted to make her happy. He was not ignorant anymore, he learned how to be sorry.
+
+He picked up the doll, and he walked to Mia. He gave her the doll, and he said, "I am sorry, Mia. I was bad. I broke your doll. Can I help you fix it?" Mia looked at him, and she smiled a little. She said, "Thank you, Tom. You are not bad. You are good. You can help me fix it." She took the doll, and she hugged it. She hugged Tom too, and she said, "You are my friend." Tom hugged her back, and he said, "You are my friend too." He felt happy, and he felt his heart again. It was not beating fast, it was warm. He raised his head, and he saw the sun. It was shining bright, and it made him smile. He was not ignorant anymore, he learned how to be a friend.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to look for bugs and flowers. They saw a big spider on a web. It had eight legs and many eyes.
+
+"Wow, look at the spider!" Tom said. "It is so big and scary!"
+
+Lily was not afraid. She wanted to touch the spider. She moved closer to the web. She reached out her hand.
+
+"Stop, Lily!" Tom shouted. "The spider might bite you! It is not nice!"
+
+But Lily did not listen. She touched the spider gently. The spider did not move. It did not bite her. It felt soft and tickly.
+
+"See, Tom, the spider is nice!" Lily said. "It is not scary at all. It is just a bug. I like it!"
+
+Tom was surprised. He did not understand how Lily could touch the spider. He thought she was very brave. He also thought she was very lucky. He did not want to touch the spider. He was still afraid.
+
+"OK, Lily, you are brave and lucky," Tom said. "But I do not like the spider. I like the butterfly. It is pretty and colorful. Can we look for the butterfly?"
+
+Lily nodded. She let go of the spider. She said goodbye to the spider. She hoped the spider would be happy on the web. She followed Tom to look for the butterfly. They had fun in the garden. They saw many bugs and flowers. They were happy.
+Tom and Lily wanted to buy a new toy. They had some money in their piggy bank. They asked their mom if they could go to the toy store.
+
+"OK, but you have to be brave and careful," their mom said. "Hold hands and look both ways when you cross the street. And don't talk to strangers."
+
+Tom and Lily nodded and took their money. They walked to the toy store and looked at all the toys. They saw cars, dolls, balls, puzzles, and books. They liked many toys, but they had to choose one.
+
+"I want this car," Tom said. "It is red and fast and has a horn."
+
+"I want this doll," Lily said. "She is pretty and has a dress and a hat."
+
+They counted their money. They had enough for one toy, but not for two. They did not know what to do.
+
+"Maybe we can share," Tom said. "We can play with the car and the doll together."
+
+"Or maybe we can buy something else," Lily said. "Something that we both like."
+
+They looked around and saw a big teddy bear. It was soft and brown and had a bow. They both liked the teddy bear.
+
+"Let's buy the teddy bear," they said. "We can hug it and cuddle it and give it a name."
+
+They took the teddy bear to the cashier and paid with their money. They were happy and proud. They thanked the cashier and left the toy store.
+
+They walked back to their mom and showed her their new toy.
+
+"Wow, you bought a teddy bear," their mom said. "That was very brave and smart of you. What are you going to name it?"
+
+"Teddy," Tom and Lily said. "We love Teddy."
+
+They hugged their mom and their teddy bear. They had a new toy and a new friend.
+Lily liked to wonder about many things. She wondered what the stars were, why the birds sang, and how the flowers grew. She also wondered about her neighbor, Mr. Lee. He was very old and always wore a hat. He had a big garden with many incredible plants. Lily wanted to talk to him, but she was shy.
+
+One day, Lily saw Mr. Lee sitting on his porch. He smiled and waved at her. Lily waved back and walked over to him. She said hello and asked him his name. He told her he was Mr. Lee and asked her what her name was. She told him she was Lily and asked him about his garden.
+
+Mr. Lee was happy to talk to Lily. He told her he loved plants and he grew them from seeds. He said he had plants from many different places. He showed her a red flower that smelled like candy, a blue flower that looked like a star, and a yellow flower that danced in the wind. Lily thought they were amazing. She asked him if she could touch them. He said yes, but to be gentle.
+
+Lily touched the flowers carefully. She felt their soft petals, their smooth stems, and their prickly leaves. She thanked Mr. Lee for letting her see his garden. He thanked her for being his friend. He gave her a small pot with a green seedling. He said it was a gift for her. He said it would grow into a beautiful flower if she watered it and gave it sun.
+
+Lily was very happy. She hugged Mr. Lee and said goodbye. She ran back to her house with the pot. She showed it to her mom and dad. They said it was very nice and helped her find a place for it. Lily wondered what kind of flower it would be. She hoped it would be as incredible as Mr. Lee's. She decided to visit him again soon. She liked to wonder with him.
+Sara liked to play with her toy box. She had many toys inside. She had dolls, cars, blocks, and books. She also had a feather. It was white and soft. She found it in the park one day. She liked to tickle her nose with it.
+
+One day, Sara wanted to play with her feather. She went to her toy box and opened it. She looked for the feather, but she could not see it. She moved the toys around, but the feather was not there. She felt sad. Where was her feather?
+
+She heard a noise behind her. She turned around and saw her cat, Luna. Luna had something in her mouth. It was the feather! Luna had taken the feather from the toy box. She wanted to play with it too. She ran away from Sara, shaking the feather.
+
+Sara chased Luna. She said, "Luna, give me back my feather! It is mine!" Luna did not listen. She jumped on the sofa, on the table, on the chair. She made the feather fly in the air. She had fun.
+
+Sara was tired. She could not catch Luna. She sat on the floor and cried. She said, "Luna, please, I want my feather. It is delicate. You will break it." Luna heard Sara. She felt sorry. She liked Sara. She did not want to make her cry. She jumped down from the chair and walked to Sara. She dropped the feather on Sara's lap. She rubbed her head on Sara's hand. She said, "Meow."
+
+Sara smiled. She picked up the feather and hugged Luna. She said, "Thank you, Luna. You are a good cat. I love you." She stroked Luna's fur and tickled her ears. She said, "Do you want to play with me and my feather?" Luna nodded. She said, "Meow." Sara and Luna played together with the feather. They were happy.
+Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play in the garden. They enjoyed digging, watering and picking flowers. One day, they saw a bright red berry on a bush. It looked yummy and juicy.
+
+"Can we eat it?" Lily asked Ben.
+
+"I don't know," Ben said. "Maybe it is poison. Poison is bad. It makes you sick or sleepy."
+
+"Let's ask Mom," Lily said. "She is dependable. She knows everything."
+
+They ran to the house and showed Mom the berry. Mom looked at it and shook her head.
+
+"No, no, no," she said. "This is not a berry. This is a cherry tomato. It is not poison. It is good. You can eat it, but only after you wash it."
+
+She took them to the sink and helped them wash the cherry tomato. Then she cut it in half and gave one piece to each twin.
+
+"Mmm, this is delicious," Lily said.
+
+"Thank you, Mom," Ben said.
+
+They smiled and hugged Mom. They were happy and safe. They enjoyed their snack.

+
+"Let me touch it!" Tim says.
+
+"No, it is mine!" Sam says.
+
+They pull and push each other. They make a lot of noise. The cobweb breaks and falls on them. They feel something tickle and crawl on their hair and faces. They scream and run out of the barn.
+
+They see their mom waiting for them. She is angry. She asks them why they are quarreling and why they are covered in cobweb. They feel ashamed and sorry. They hug each other and say they are sorry. They promise to share and be nice.
+
+Mom smiles and hugs them. She says she loves them. She helps them clean the cobweb. She says they can play in the barn again, but they have to be careful and respectful. They say yes.

+
+Her mom was busy in the kitchen. She said, "I don't know, Sara. Maybe you left them in the living room."
+
+Sara went to the living room and looked for her scissors. She saw them on the coffee table, next to a vase of flowers. She reached for them, but she was too short. She tried to climb on the table, but she slipped and fell. The vase of flowers tipped over and crashed on the floor. Water and petals splashed everywhere.
+
+Sara started to cry. She was scared and wet and hurt. Her mom heard the noise and ran to the living room. She saw the mess and Sara on the floor. She hugged Sara and said, "Oh, Sara, what happened?"
+
+Sara sobbed, "I wanted my scissors, but they were too high. I tried to get them, but I fell. I'm sorry, Mom, I broke the flowers."
+
+Her mom kissed her and said, "It's okay, Sara. I'm not mad at you. You didn't mean to break the flowers. But you should not climb on the table. It's dangerous. Next time, you can ask me to help you. I can get the scissors for you."
+
+Sara nodded and said, "Okay, Mom. I'm sorry. Can I still make a paper doll?"
+
+Her mom smiled and said, "Of course, you can. Let's go to your room and get some paper and crayons. And your scissors. How about we make a paper doll that looks like a graceful dancer?"
+
+Sara smiled and said, "Yes, Mom. I like that. A graceful dancer with a pink dress and a flower in her hair."
+
+They went to Sara's room and made a paper doll together. Sara was happy and forgot about the accident. She named her paper doll Grace and danced with her on the floor. Her mom watched her and thought she was the most graceful dancer of all.

+Lily and Tom were playing with a flashlight in the dark. They liked to see the bright light and make shadows on the wall. But then the flashlight stopped working. It was very dark and they could not see anything.
+
+"Where is the light?" Lily asked. She was scared of the dark.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe the flashlight is weak. Let me try to fix it." Tom said. He opened the flashlight and saw a small thing inside. It looked like a spark. He touched it with his finger.
+
+"Ow! That hurts!" Tom screamed. He dropped the flashlight and the spark flew out. It landed on a pile of papers and set them on fire.
+
+"Fire! Fire!" Lily screamed. She ran to the door and opened it. She saw their mom and dad in the living room. They heard the screams and came to see what was wrong.
+
+"What happened here?" Mom asked. She saw the fire and grabbed a blanket. She threw it over the papers and put out the fire.
+
+"We were playing with the flashlight and it broke and there was a spark and it made fire." Tom said. He was crying and holding his finger.
+
+"I'm sorry, Mom. We didn't mean to." Lily said. She was also crying and hugging Tom.
+
+Mom and Dad hugged them and checked Tom's finger. It was red and sore, but not very bad. They put some cream and a bandage on it.
+
+"It's okay, kids. We're glad you're safe. But you have to be careful with things that have sparks. They can be dangerous. And you should never play with fire. Do you understand?" Dad said.
+
+"Yes, Dad. We understand. We're sorry." Lily and Tom said.
+
+Mom and Dad kissed them and said they loved them. They took them to the living room and gave them some cookies and milk. They watched a funny show on TV and laughed together. Lily and Tom felt better and learned a lesson. They never played with sparks again.

+Ben and Lily were playing in the kitchen. They saw a big jar on the shelf. It was brown and had a lid with a lock. They wanted to see what was inside.
+
+"Let's open it!" Ben said.
+
+"No, we can't. It's Mom's jar. She said it's mysterious and we should not touch it." Lily said.
+
+"But I'm curious. Maybe it has something fun or yummy or shiny." Ben said. He climbed on a chair and reached for the jar.
+
+Lily was scared. She tried to stop him. "Ben, no! You will make Mom angry. And maybe the jar has something bad or scary or icky." She said.
+
+But Ben did not listen. He grabbed the jar and pulled it down. The lid with the lock fell off and the jar opened. Out came a lot of smoke and a loud noise. Ben and Lily were shocked. They dropped the jar and ran away.
+
+Mom heard the noise and came to the kitchen. She saw the smoke and the broken jar. She was very upset. She knew what was in the jar. It was her magic jar. She used it to make wishes and spells. But now it was ruined.

+
+"No, Tim, don't! Spider can bite and hurt you. It can be spicy and make you sick. Let's go away and play with the ball." Sam said.
+
+But Tim did not listen to Sam. He went closer to the spider and reached out his hand. The spider saw Tim and got angry. It jumped on Tim's hand and bit him hard. Tim screamed and dropped the spider. His hand was red and swollen.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow! It hurts, it hurts! Help me, Sam!" Tim cried.
+
+Sam ran to Tim and saw his hand. He was very worried. He called for their mom and dad. They came and saw what happened. They took Tim to the car and drove to the doctor. Sam had to remain at home with grandma. He was sad and scared for Tim. He wished Tim had listened to him and stayed away from the spider. He hoped Tim would be okay. He did not want to play with spiders ever again.
+Tom and Lily were going to visit their grandma. They packed their bags and waited for the taxi. They were very excited to see grandma, who lived far away.
+
+"Remember to say hello and thank you to the taxi driver," mom said. "He is very friendly and helps us get to grandma's house."
+
+"Okay, mom," Tom and Lily said. They liked the taxi driver, who had a big smile and a funny hat. He asked them questions about their trip and told them stories about his own family.
+
+"Here we are," the taxi driver said, when they arrived at grandma's house. "Have a wonderful time with your grandma. She must be very happy to see you."
+
+"Thank you, taxi driver," Tom and Lily said. They gave him a hug and took their bags. They ran to the door and knocked. Grandma opened it and smiled.

+
+But then, a hairy bee flew near the rocket. It was angry and wanted to sting the rocket. It buzzed and chased the rocket in the sky.
+
+"Oh no, a bee!" Lily said, and hid behind Ben. She was scared of bees.
+
+Ben was not scared. He wanted to save the rocket. He picked up a stick and waved it at the bee. "Go away, bee! Leave our rocket alone!" he shouted.
+
+But the bee did not go away. It came closer and closer to Ben. Ben felt something tickle his nose. He tried to hold it, but he could not. He sneezed very loud.
+
+"Achoo!"
+
+The sneeze scared the bee. It flew away from Ben and the rocket. It did not want to sting anyone who sneezed like that.
+
+Ben and Lily saw the rocket come down. They ran to catch it. They were happy and proud.
+
+"Wow, you sneezed the bee away!" Lily said, and hugged Ben. "You are brave and smart!"
+
+Ben smiled and hugged Lily back. "Thank you, Lily. You are kind and sweet!"
+
+They learned that sneezing can be useful sometimes, and that they can help each other when they are in trouble. They played with their rocket some more, and had a lot of fun.
+Tom and Lily were friends who liked to play with toys. One day, they found a big loop of rope in the park. They thought it was fun to swing it and jump through it.
+
+"Can I keep it?" Tom asked Lily.
+
+"No, it is not yours. It belongs to someone else. You have to be honest and give it back," Lily said.
+
+"But I like it so much. It is the best loop ever. Please, let me keep it," Tom begged.
+
+Lily shook her head. "No, Tom. It is wrong to take things that are not yours. Maybe the owner is looking for it. How would you feel if someone took your toy?"
+
+Tom thought for a moment. He remembered how sad he was when he lost his teddy bear. He did not want to make someone else feel that way.
+
+"You are right, Lily. I am sorry. I will give it back. Being honest is better than keeping things that are not mine," he said.
+
+They put the loop back where they found it and went to play with their own toys. They were happy and proud of themselves for doing the right thing. The end.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big tree with a swing. Lily wants to try the swing. She runs to the tree and climbs on the swing.

+"Push me, Ben!" she says. Ben pushes her gently. Lily feels happy. She swings higher and higher. She laughs and shouts.
+
+Ben watches Lily. He thinks she is cute. He wants to swing too. He waits for Lily to stop. But Lily does not stop. She swings faster and faster. She is having too much fun.
+
+"Can I swing too, Lily?" Ben asks. Lily does not hear him. She is too busy swinging. Ben feels sad. He walks away.
+
+Lily swings so high that she loses her grip. She falls off the swing. She lands on the ground. She hurts her foot. She cries.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" she says. She looks for Ben. She wants him to help her. But Ben is not there. He is gone.
+
+Lily feels sorry. She wishes she had shared the swing with Ben. She wishes he was there to hug her. She limps to the tree. She sees something hanging from a branch. It is Ben's hat. He left it for her.
+
+Lily smiles. She thinks Ben is nice. She puts on his hat. She hopes he will come back. She wants to say sorry. She wants to be friends again.

+
+Anna and Ben feel sorry for Lily. They want to help her. They look around the tent. They do not see the necklace. But they see the stone. It looks like the pendant on Lily's necklace.

+Tom and Mia are twins. They like to play in the park. They see a big hill with many trees. They want to climb the hill and see what is on the other side.

+
+"Let's try again," Tom says. "We can do it."
+
+They get up and walk again. But they fall down again. They are more dirty and more sad.
+
+"Maybe we should crawl," Mia says. "Like a bug. Bugs can go up hills."
+
+They nod and start to crawl. They use their hands and feet and knees. They are smart. They find twigs and rocks to help them. They put the twigs and rocks under their hands and feet to make steps. They crawl faster and higher.
+
+They reach the top of the hill. They are very happy. They see a pond with ducks and a bridge with flowers. They see a slide and a swing and a sandbox. They see other kids playing and laughing.
+
+"Wow," Tom says. "This is the best park ever."
+
+"Yes," Mia says. "And we are the best crawlers ever."
+
+They hug and smile. They run down the hill and join the fun. They forget about the dirt and the falls. They only remember the twigs and the rocks and the crawl. They are proud and brave and smart.
+Lily likes to write. She writes with her crayons on paper. She writes her name, and her mom's name, and her dog's name. She writes big and small and in many colors.
+
+One day, Lily goes on a trip with her mom and dad. They go to a big park with many trees and flowers. Lily sees a peaceful pond with ducks and fish. She wants to write about it.
+
+She asks her mom for paper and crayons. Her mom gives them to her. Lily sits on a bench and starts to write. She writes "pond" and "duck" and "fish". She draws them too.
+
+But then, a big boy comes and sees Lily's paper. He wants it. He says, "Give me that! It's mine!" He tries to grab it from Lily.
+
+Lily says, "No! It's mine! I write it!" She holds on to her paper. They pull and tug. The paper rips. Lily and the boy fall down. They cry.
+
+Mom and dad hear them. They run to them. They see the ripped paper. They see the angry boy. They see the sad Lily.
+
+Mom says to the boy, "That's not nice. You should not take things that are not yours. You should say sorry to Lily."
+
+Dad says to Lily, "It's okay. You can write again. You can write on a new paper. You can write anything you want."

+Mom and dad give Lily a new paper and crayons. Lily writes again. She writes "pond" and "duck" and "fish". She writes "friend" too. She is happy.
+Tom was a boy who liked to play with his toys. He had a big box of toys in his room. He had cars, trains, balls, dolls, and a rat. The rat was not a real rat. It was a toy rat that Tom's dad gave him. The rat was rough and brown and had a long tail. Tom liked to make the rat run and squeak.
+
+One day, Tom wanted to play a trick on his mom. He thought it would be funny to put the rat in her bed. He waited until his mom was in the kitchen. Then he ran to her room with the rat. He lifted the blanket and put the rat under it. He smiled and ran back to his room.
+
+Later, Tom heard his mom scream. He ran to her room to see what happened. He saw his mom standing on a chair, pointing at the bed. He saw the rat sticking out from the blanket. He saw his dad laughing. He saw his mom looking angry.
+
+"Tom, did you put this rat in my bed?" his mom asked.
+
+Tom nodded. He thought his mom would laugh too. But she did not laugh. She looked very mad.
+
+"Tom, this is not funny. This is mean. You scared me. You made me think there was a real rat in my bed. How would you like it if I put a rat in your bed?" his mom said.
+
+Tom felt bad. He did not want to scare his mom. He did not want to make her mad. He did not want a rat in his bed. He said he was sorry. He hugged his mom. He took the rat and put it back in his box.
+
+"Tom, I forgive you. But don't do that again. And don't play with the rat in the house. It might scare someone else. You can play with the rat outside. But be careful. There might be real rats out there." his mom said.
+
+Tom said okay. He learned his lesson. He did not play tricks with the rat anymore. He played with his other toys. He was a good boy.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play outside in the mud. They make mud pies and mud castles. They also find sticks and pretend they are swords. They have a lot of fun.
+
+But when it is time to go inside, they do not want to bathe. They say they are not dirty. They say they like the mud. They say bathing is boring.
+
+Mom is not happy. She says they have to bathe. She says the mud is bad for their skin and hair. She says they will make the house dirty. She says bathing is good.

+Mom is happy. She says they are good twins. She says they are clean and shiny. She says they can have a snack and a story after they bathe. She says she loves them.
+
+Anna and Ben are happy. They say they love Mom. They say they like bathing. They say they want to do it again tomorrow. They say they have the best sticks in the world. They say they are expensive sticks.
+Tom and Anna were playing in the park. They liked to slide, swing and run. They saw a big sign that said "EXIT". They wondered what was behind it.
+
+"Let's go and see," said Tom.
+
+"OK, but we have to return soon. Mom will be looking for us," said Anna.
+
+They walked to the sign and pushed it. It opened and they saw a lot of trees and flowers. They smelled something sour.
+
+"Yuck, what is that?" said Anna.
+
+They followed the smell and found a big pile of trash. There were cans, bottles, bags and rotten food. They felt sick.
+
+"Let's go back. This is not fun," said Tom.
+
+They turned around and ran to the sign. But it was closed. They pushed and pulled, but it did not move.
+
+"Help! We are stuck!" they shouted.
+
+They heard a voice.
+
+"Who is there?" it said.
+
+They looked up and saw a man. He was wearing a hat and a badge. He was a park ranger.
+
+"We are Tom and Anna. We were playing and we went behind the sign. Now we can't return," they said.
+
+The park ranger opened the sign and let them out.
+
+"You should not go there. That is where we put the trash. It is sour and dirty. You could get hurt or sick. You should stay in the park where it is safe and fun," he said.
+
+He took them to their mom, who was waiting for them. She hugged them and scolded them.
+
+"I was so worried. You should not wander off. You should always return when I call you. And you should never go to the exit. That is not for children," she said.
+
+Tom and Anna felt sorry. They said they were sorry. They learned their lesson. They never went to the exit again. They played in the park where it was sweet and clean.
+Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play together. One day, they find a big box of crayons. They want to write and draw with them.
+
+"Look, I can write my name!" Tom says. He writes T-O-M on a paper.
+
+"Me too!" Lily says. She writes L-I-L-Y on another paper.
+
+They write and draw many things. They draw flowers, stars, cars, and animals. They are happy.
+
+Then, they see a big wall. It is the wall of the church. The church is old and broken. Some bricks are missing. Some windows are cracked.
+
+"Let's write and draw on the wall!" Tom says. He thinks it is fun.
+
+"No, we can't!" Lily says. She thinks it is bad. "The wall is not ours. It is the church's. We have to be nice to the church."
+
+But Tom does not listen. He takes a crayon and writes T-O-M on the wall. He draws a big smiley face.
+
+Lily is sad. She does not want to write on the wall. She does not want to make the church angry.
+
+"Stop, Tom, stop!" she says. "You are doing something wrong. You have to say sorry to the church."
+
+But Tom does not stop. He writes and draws more and more. He uses all the crayons.
+
+Then, they hear a loud voice. It is the voice of the priest. He is coming out of the church. He sees Tom and Lily. He sees the wall. He is very angry.
+
+"What are you doing?" he says. "You are making a mess. You are ruining the wall. You are disrespecting the church. You have to go away. You have to clean the wall. You have to apologize."
+
+Tom and Lily are scared. They drop the crayons. They run away. They are sorry. They wish they did not write on the wall. They wish they listened to Lily. They wish they were nice to the church.
+Tom and Sam were brothers who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big swamp near their house. It had green water, brown mud and many frogs and bugs.
+
+"Let's go to the swamp!" Tom said. He was curious and brave.
+
+"No, we can't!" Sam said. He was obedient and careful. "Mom said the swamp is dirty and dangerous. We have to stay away from it."
+
+But Tom did not listen to Sam. He ran to the swamp and jumped in. He splashed and laughed and spread mud all over his clothes.
+
+"Tom, come back!" Sam shouted. He was worried and scared. "You will get sick or hurt. Mom will be angry."
+
+But Tom did not listen to Sam. He saw a big frog and tried to catch it. He reached out his hand and touched the frog. But the frog did not like that. It croaked and bit Tom's finger.
+
+"Ow!" Tom cried. He felt pain and fear. He dropped the frog and ran out of the swamp. He ran to Sam and hugged him.
+
+"I'm sorry, Sam," Tom said. He was sorry and sad. "You were right. The swamp is bad. I should have listened to you."
+
+"It's okay, Tom," Sam said. He was kind and gentle. "I'm glad you are safe. Let's go home and clean up. Mom will help us."
+
+They held hands and walked home. They learned their lesson. They decided to be obedient and stay away from the swamp. They still liked to play outside, but they found other places that were fun and safe.
+Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play with crayons and paper. One day, they make a picture of their house and their family. They are very happy with their picture.
+
+"Look, Tom, this is you and this is me. And this is our dog, Spot. And this is our mom and dad. And this is our big tree," Anna says, pointing to the picture.
+
+"I like our picture, Anna. It is very pretty. Can we put it on the wall?" Tom asks.
+
+"Yes, we can. But first we have to sign it. That means we write our names on it. Like this," Anna says, and writes Anna with a big A and a small n, n, a.
+
+"Wow, you can write your name, Anna. You are very smart. Can you help me write my name?" Tom says.
+

+
+"Thank you, Anna. Now we have signed our picture. It is ours," Tom says.
+
+"Now we need a frame. A frame is something that goes around the picture to make it look nice. Like this," Anna says, and cuts a piece of cardboard and glues it to the edges of the paper.
+
+"Wow, you can make a frame, Anna. You are very creative. Can we put it on the wall now?" Tom asks.
+
+"Yes, we can. But we need some tape. And we need a tall person to help us. The wall is too high for us," Anna says.
+
+"Let's ask mom. She is tall. And she has tape. Mom, mom, can you help us?" Tom says, and runs to find mom.
+
+Mom comes and sees their picture. She smiles and says, "What a beautiful picture, Tom and Anna. You are very talented. And you have signed it and framed it. That is very impressive. Of course, I will help you put it on the wall. Where do you want it?"
+
+"Here, mom, here. Above the sofa. So we can see it every day," Tom and Anna say, and point to the spot.
+
+Mom takes the tape and sticks the picture to the wall. She lifts Tom and Anna up so they can see it better. They clap and cheer.
+
+"Thank you, mom. We love our picture. And we love you," Tom and Anna say, and hug mom.
+
+"I love you too, Tom and Anna. And I love your picture. It is the best picture ever," mom says, and hugs them back.
+Tom and Sue were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a dog. The dog was sad. He had no home. He was dirty and hungry. He had dust on his fur and his eyes.
+
+Tom and Sue felt sorry for the dog. They wanted to help him. They gave him some water and some bread. They petted him and talked to him. They were kind to him.
+
+The dog was happy. He wagged his tail and licked their faces. He liked Tom and Sue. They liked him too. They asked their mom and dad if they could keep him. Their mom and dad said yes. They said the dog had suffered enough. They said he needed a family.
+
+Tom and Sue were happy. They had a new friend. They named him Dusty. They took him home and gave him a bath and a bed. They played with him and loved him. Dusty was happy too. He had a home. He had no dust on his fur and his eyes. He had no more suffering. He had kind friends.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park with their toys. They had a ball, a doll, a car and a book. They liked to share their toys and take turns.
+
+But then, a big boy came and took their ball. He said it was his and ran away. Lily and Ben were sad and angry. They wanted their ball back.
+
+"Let's go and get it!" Ben said. He was brave and strong.
+
+"No, no, it's too hard. He is big and mean. He might hurt us." Lily said. She was scared and shy.
+
+"But it's our ball. We need it. I insist!" Ben said. He felt his heart beat fast. He was hungry for justice.
+
+Lily looked at Ben and saw his eyes shine. She loved her brother and wanted to help him. She took his hand and said, "Okay, let's go. But be careful. And if he says sorry, we can be friends."
+
+They ran after the big boy and found him near the swings. He was playing with their ball and laughing. He did not see them coming.
+
+"Hey, that's our ball! Give it back!" Ben shouted.
+
+The big boy turned and saw them. He frowned and said, "No, it's mine. Go away, you little pests."
+
+He threw the ball at them and tried to hit them. But Ben was quick and caught the ball. He hugged it and said, "Ha, we got it! It's ours!"
+
+The big boy was angry and ran towards them. He wanted to take the ball again. But Lily was smart and said, "Stop, stop, don't be mean. We can share the ball and play together. It's more fun that way."
+
+The big boy stopped and looked at them. He felt his heart soften. He was hungry for friends.
+
+He said, "Sorry, sorry, I was wrong. I was lonely and bored. Can we share the ball and play together?"
+
+Lily and Ben smiled and said, "Yes, yes, we can. We are nice and kind. What's your name?"
