The photographer says "I don't know. Maybe he is hiding somewhere else. Let's find him and say sorry." Lily and the photographer look for Ben. They find him behind a bench. He is crying. He heard the lion roar and thought it was real. He was very scared. Lily and the photographer hug him and say sorry. They tell him the lion is a toy and show him the picture. Ben stops crying and looks at the picture. He says "That is a funny lion. He looks real but he is not. Can I play with him?" The photographer says "Sure, you can play with him. But be careful. He is still a big toy. And don't hide him in the bush again. He might scare someone else." Lily and Ben say "OK" and smile. They play with the toy lion and have fun. The photographer takes more pictures and laughs. He says "You are brave kids. You revealed a lion and did not run away. You are my heroes." Lily and Ben feel happy and proud. They say "Thank you. You are our friend." They reveal their smiles and hug the photographer. The end. +Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play with toys. One day, Sara has a new toy. It is a top.

He took a big breath and went under the water. He saw a shiny thing at the bottom of the pond. He thought it was a fish and tried to catch it with his mouth. But it was not a fish. It was a metal can. + +Ollie bit the can and it hurt his teeth. He let go of the can and tried to swim back up. But the can was stuck on his nose. He could not see or breathe well.

Cookies are yummy and soft." + +Lily says, "But apples are good for you. They make you strong and healthy. Cookies are bad for you. They make you sick and fat." + +Ben says, "That is not true. Cookies are good for you. They make you happy and smart. Apples are bad for you. They make you sour and silly." + +They argue and argue. They do not play anymore.

"We want to play in the park, mom. Can we go?" they ask. + +Mom nods and smiles. "Yes, you can go, but be careful and stay close to each other. The fog is thick and you might get lost. And come back soon for breakfast." She gives them a hug and a kiss. + +Tom and Lily run to the park. They have fun in the fog. They pretend they are explorers in a new land. They find a big slide and a swing and a sandbox. They laugh and shout and make shapes with the fog. + +But soon they get hungry and cold. They decide to go back home. They look for the way they came, but they can't see it. The fog is too thick. They get scared and hold hands. "Where is our house, Tom?" Lily asks. + +Tom tries to be brave. He remembers what mom said. He says, "Don't worry, Lily. We will find our house. We just have to follow our footsteps. Look, there are our boots marks on the ground. They will lead us home." + +Tom and Lily follow their footsteps. They walk and walk and walk. They hope they are going the right way. They hope mom is waiting for them. They hope the fog will go away. + +After a while, they see a shape in the fog. It looks like a door. They get closer and closer. They see it is their door. They see their house. They are happy and relieved. They knock on the door. Mom opens it. She is happy and relieved too. She hugs them and says, "You are back! I was worried about you. Are you okay?" + +Tom and Lily nod and say, "We are okay, mom. We had fun in the fog, but we got lost. We followed our footsteps and we found our way home." + +Mom says, "You are very smart and brave, Tom and Lily. But next time, don't go too far in the fog. It can be dangerous. Now, come in and have some breakfast. And then we will tidy up your room. It is a mess." + +Tom and Lily agree. They go in and have some breakfast. They tell mom about their adventure in the fog. They say they love her. They say they love each other. They say they love the park. But they don't love the fog. They hope it will go away soon. +Ben liked oranges. He liked to peel them and eat them. He liked how they were sweet and juicy. He liked how they smelled like the sun. + +One day, Ben saw a big basket of oranges at the store. He wanted to have one. He asked his mom if he could have one. His mom said no. She said they had to pay for the oranges. She said they did not have enough money to buy oranges. + +Ben was sad. He really wanted an orange. He looked around. He saw that his mom was busy talking to the lady at the counter. He saw that no one was watching the basket of oranges. He had an idea. + +He reached out and grabbed an orange. He hid it under his shirt. He thought he was smart. He thought he did not have to pay for the orange. He thought he could eat it later. + +He ran back to his mom. He hoped she would not notice the orange. He hoped they could go home soon. He hoped he would be safe. + +But he was not safe. He did not know that the store had a camera. He did not know that the camera saw him take the orange. He did not know that the man who owned the store was angry. He did not know that the man who owned the store called the police. + +The police came to the store. They saw the orange under Ben's shirt. They asked him why he took the orange.

He said he did not mean to be bad. He said he wanted his mom. + +But it was too late. He had to pay for what he did. He had to go with the police. He did not get to eat the orange. He did not get to see his mom. He did not get to be happy. He had a bad ending. +Anna and Ben liked to play in the garden. They saw many flowers and bugs and birds. They also saw a big vine that grew on the wall. The vine had green leaves and purple berries. + +One day, Anna and Ben wanted to try the berries. They looked yummy and sweet. They picked some berries and ate them. But they did not know that the berries were magic. The berries made them shrink! + +Anna and Ben became very small. They were smaller than the bugs and the birds. They were scared and wanted to go back to their mom and dad. They tried to climb the vine, but it was too high and slippery. They saw a big spider that wanted to eat them. They screamed for help. + +Luckily, their mom and dad heard them. They came to the garden and saw their tiny children on the vine. They were shocked and worried. They quickly picked them up and put them in a cup. They ran to the house and looked for a way to make them big again. + +They found a book that had a picture of the vine and the berries. The book said that the berries were magic and could make people shrink or grow. It also said that to reverse the magic, they had to drink some water with honey and lemon. They made some water with honey and lemon and gave it to Anna and Ben. They drank it and felt a tickle in their bodies. + +Soon, Anna and Ben grew back to their normal size. They were happy and relieved. They hugged their mom and dad and said sorry for eating the berries. They learned their lesson and never ate anything from the vine again. They still liked to play in the garden, but they were more careful and listened to their mom and dad. +Tom and Sam were brothers who liked to play in the woods.

A big bear came out of the sack and chased them. + +Tom and Sam were very scared and ran away. They tried to find their way back home, but they got lost. They saw a big house with a fence and a gate. They thought maybe someone there could help them. They knocked on the door, but no one answered. They saw a window that was open, so they climbed inside. + +The house was very nice and had many things. Tom and Sam saw a big bed, a big TV, a big sofa, and a big table. They also saw a lot of money and jewels. They thought the people who lived there were very rich. They decided to take some of the money and jewels and put them in their pockets. + +But they did not know that the house belonged to the bear. The bear had stolen the sack from a hunter and brought it to his house. He had gone out to look for more food, but he came back soon. He smelled the boys in his house and got very angry. He roared and ran to the window. + +Tom and Sam heard the bear and got very scared. They tried to run away, but the bear was faster. He caught them and put them in the sack. He tied the sack and dragged it to his cave. He was going to eat them for dinner. Tom and Sam cried and wished they had never opened the sack. They were not rescued. The end. +Tom was a cat who liked to lay on the sofa. He was very lazy and did not like to play or hunt. He only wanted to drink milk and sleep. One day, his owner brought home a new pet. It was a dog. + +"Look, Tom, this is Rex. He is your new friend. He will keep you company and protect you," his owner said. + +Tom did not like Rex. He did not want a new friend. He wanted to be alone. He hissed and scratched at Rex, but Rex was bigger and stronger. He barked and chased Tom around the house. + +Tom was scared and angry.

They liked to run and jump and chase each other. They saw a fence at the end of the garden. The fence was high and had sharp points on top. + +"Let's go see what's behind the fence," Tom said. He was curious and brave. + +"No, Tom, we can't. The fence is too high and sharp. We might get hurt," Lily said. She was careful and scared. + +"But maybe there is something fun behind the fence. Maybe there is a playground or a zoo or a castle," Tom said. He wanted to have an adventure. + +Lily shook her head. She did not want to go near the fence. She saw a sign on the fence that said "Keep Out". She thought that meant there was something bad behind the fence. + +Tom did not listen to Lily. He ran towards the fence. He tried to climb over it. He put his hand on the sharp point. He felt a pain in his hand. He cried out loud. + +Lily heard Tom's cry. She ran to him. She saw blood on his hand. She felt sorry for him. She hugged him and said, "Tom, you were silly. You should have listened to me. The fence is high and sharp. It is not for climbing. Come on, let's go inside and get a band-aid." + +Tom nodded. He was sorry too. He learned his lesson. He followed Lily inside. He said, "Lily, you were right. The fence is high and sharp. It is not fun. Next time, I will listen to you." +Ben likes to sort his toys by color. He has a big box of red toys, a big box of blue toys, and a big box of yellow toys.

Ben thinks that is messy. + +He goes to Lily and says, "Hi, Lily. Do you want to sort your toys with me? It is fun and easy. I can show you how." + +Lily looks at Ben and says, "Hi, Ben. What is sort?" She does not know what that word means. + +Ben says, "Sort is when you put things that are the same together. Like this." He picks up a red car and a red ball from Lily's pile and puts them in his box of red toys. "See? These are both red. They go together. You can do it too. Look for things that are the same color and put them in the right box." + +Lily thinks that sounds fun. She says, "OK, Ben. I will try." She picks up a blue block and a blue animal and puts them in Ben's box of blue toys. "Like this?" She asks. + +Ben smiles and says, "Yes, Lily. That is right. You are good at sorting too. Let's do more." He picks up a yellow toy and gives it to Lily. + +They sort all of Lily's toys by color. They have a lot of fun. They make the pile smaller and the boxes bigger.

Did Mia forget her? Did she fly away to another garden? Did she get lost or hurt? + +Lily ran to grandma and hugged her. "Grandma, I have a fairy friend, but I can't find her. Her name is Mia, and she is very nice and pretty. Do you know where she is?" + +Grandma smiled and stroked Lily's hair. "Don't worry, my dear. Mia is still your friend, and she didn't forget you. She is just hiding, because she is shy of strangers. But if you close your eyes and say her name three times, she will come to you. Do you want to try?" + +Lily nodded and closed her eyes. She said, "Mia, Mia, Mia." + +She opened her eyes and saw Mia flying in front of her. Mia smiled and waved. "Hi, Lily. I'm sorry I hid from you. I was scared of your grandma, but she seems nice. Can I say hello to her?" + +Lily grinned and held out her hand. Mia landed on her palm and bowed to grandma. "Hello, grandma. I'm Mia, Lily's fairy friend. It's nice to meet you." + +Grandma gasped and clapped her hands. "Oh, my! You are a real fairy! How wonderful! You are very nice and pretty, too.

It was a rhinoceros. Tom and Sue were curious and wanted to touch it. + +"Let's go and say hello to the rhinoceros," Tom said. + +"No, that's a bad idea. The rhinoceros might be angry and hurt us," Sue said. + +"Don't be stupid, Sue. The rhinoceros is nice and friendly. I can guess what it is thinking. It is thinking, 'Please come and pet me'," Tom said. + +Tom ran towards the rhinoceros, but Sue stayed behind. The rhinoceros saw Tom and did not like him.

They never played with balloons again. +Lisa and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. Lisa had a doll and Ben had a car. They were having fun, but they were also thirsty. + +"Mom, can we have some juice?" Lisa asked. + +"Sure, sweetie. I'll bring you some in a minute. Why don't you seat on the couch and wait?" Mom said. + +Lisa and Ben nodded and put their toys away. They walked to the couch and sat down. Lisa saw a book on the coffee table. It had pictures of animals and words. + +"Look, Ben. A book!" Lisa said. + +"Can you read it?" Ben asked. + +Lisa shook her head. "No, but I can look at the pictures. See, this is a dog. And this is a cat. And this is a bird." + +"Wow, that's cool. I like animals. Can I look too?" Ben said. + +Lisa smiled and moved over. She shared the book with Ben. They pointed at the pictures and made sounds. They were happy. + +Mom came back with two cups of juice. She saw Lisa and Ben looking at the book. + +"That's very thoughtful of you, Lisa, to share the book with Ben. You are a good sister," Mom said. + +"Thank you, Mom. We like the book. And we like juice too," Lisa said. + +Mom gave them the juice and kissed them on the cheek. She sat down with them and read the book aloud. They learned new words and had fun. They were a happy family. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big truck with a picture of ice cream on it. The truck stops near the swings and a man gets out. + +"Who wants ice cream?" the man asks. He has a lot of cones and scoops in his hands. + +Anna and Ben run to the truck. They are very happy. They love ice cream. + +"I want chocolate," Anna says. + +"I want vanilla," Ben says. + +The man smiles and gives them each a cone with their favorite flavor. He takes some money from their mom. + +"Thank you," Anna and Ben say. + +They lick their cones and sit on a bench. They enjoy the cold and sweet ice cream. + +"Look, a bird!" Ben says. He points to a small bird on a tree. The bird is brown and has a red chest. It sings a pretty song. + +Anna looks at the bird. She thinks it is cute. She wants to talk to it. + +"Hello, bird," she says. She waves her cone at the bird. + +The bird stops singing. It looks at Anna. It sees her cone. It likes ice cream too. + +The bird flies to Anna. It lands on her cone. It pecks at her ice cream. + +"Hey, that's mine!" Anna says. She tries to shoo the bird away. But the bird is fast and greedy. It eats more of her ice cream. + +Ben laughs. He thinks it is funny. He watches the bird and Anna. + +Anna is not happy. She is angry. She wants her ice cream back. + +"Go away, bird!" she says. She shakes her cone. But the bird does not go away. It holds on to her cone. + +Anna looks at Ben. She wants him to help her. She wants him to scare the bird away. + +"Ben, help me!" she says. + +Ben shrugs. He does not know what to do. He likes his ice cream too. He does not want to share it with the bird. + +"Sorry, Anna," he says. "I can't help you. You have to deal with it." + +Anna feels sad. She feels alone. She does not like Ben anymore. She thinks he is a bad friend. + +She looks at the bird. The bird looks at her. It has a smug look on its face. It has eaten almost all of her ice cream. + +Anna has an idea. She has a plan. She smiles at the bird. She pretends to be nice. + +"Okay, bird," she says. "You can have my ice cream. But you have to do something for me first." + +The bird is curious. It tilts its head. It wonders what Anna wants. + +"What do you want?" it asks. + +Anna points to Ben. She points to his cone. He still has a lot of ice cream left. + +"I want you to go to Ben," she says. "I want you to eat his ice cream too." + +The bird is surprised. It is confused. It does not understand why Anna wants that. + +"Why?" it asks. + +Anna does not answer. She does not tell the bird the truth. She does not tell the bird that she is mad at Ben. She does not tell the bird that she wants revenge. + +She just smiles and nods. She acts like a good friend. + +"Trust me," she says. "It will be fun." + +The bird is not sure. It is not convinced. It likes Anna's ice cream. It does not want to leave it. + +But it is also greedy. It is also curious. It wants to try Ben's ice cream too. + +It decides to listen to Anna. It decides to do what she says. + +It flies to Ben. It lands on his cone. It pecks at his ice cream. + +Ben is shocked. He is scared. He does not expect the bird to come to him. + +"Hey, what are you doing?" he says. He tries to shoo the bird away. But the bird is fast and greedy. It eats more of his ice cream. + +Anna laughs. She thinks it is funny. She watches the bird and Ben. + +Ben is not happy. He is angry. He wants his ice cream back. + +He looks at Anna. He wants her to help him. He wants her to scare the bird away. + +"Anna, help me!" he says. + +Anna shrugs. She does not know what to do. She likes her ice cream too. She does not want to share it with the bird. + +"Sorry, Ben," she says. "I can't help you. You have to deal with it." + +Ben feels sad. He feels alone. He does not like Anna anymore. He thinks she is a bad friend. + +He looks at the bird. The bird looks at him. It has a smug look on its face. It has eaten almost all +Sara and Lily were best friends. They liked to play with dolls and dress up. One day, they found a big box of shiny things in Sara's mom's closet. They opened the box and saw many gems. They were red, blue, green, and yellow. They sparkled like stars. + +"Wow, these are so pretty!" Sara said. "Let's put them on our dolls and make them princesses." + +"OK, but we have to be careful. These are not for us. They are mom's gems," Lily said. + +They took some gems and put them on their dolls' dresses, crowns, and necklaces. They pretended they were at a ball. They danced and sang and had fun. + +But then, Sara's mom came home. She heard the noise and went to her closet. She saw the box open and the gems missing. She was very angry. + +"Sara, Lily, what are you doing with my gems?" she asked. "These are not toys. They are very expensive and special. You could have lost them or broken them. How could you take them without asking?" + +Sara and Lily felt very bad. They were embarrassed. They did not mean to make mom angry. They just wanted to play. + +"We are sorry, mom," Sara said. "We did not know. We thought they were pretty and we wanted to make our dolls princesses." + +Mom sighed. She took the gems from the dolls and put them back in the box. She looked at Sara and Lily. + +"I know you like to play and have fun, but you have to respect other people's things. You have to ask before you touch or take something that is not yours. You have to be honest and careful. Do you understand?" + +Sara and Lily nodded. They understood. They hugged mom and said they were sorry again. + +Mom smiled. She hugged them back and said she forgave them. She said she loved them very much. She said she had a surprise for them. + +She opened a drawer and took out two small boxes. She gave one to Sara and one to Lily. They opened them and saw two thin bracelets. They had small gems on them. They were pink and purple. + +"These are for you," mom said. "They are your own gems. You can wear them and play with them. They are not as expensive or special as mine, but they are still pretty and sparkly. I hope you like them." + +Sara and Lily were very happy. They thanked mom and put on their bracelets. They hugged their dolls and each other. They learned a lesson. They learned to be respectful, honest, and careful. They learned that mom was very kind and generous. They learned that the best gems were not the ones that shone the most, but the ones that came from the heart. +Lily was a little girl who liked to dance. She danced 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. + +One day, Lily was dancing in the park with her friend Mia. They were spinning and jumping and laughing. Lily saw a big tree and wanted to climb it. She ran to the tree and grabbed a branch. She tried to pull herself up, but the branch was too high. She stretched and stretched, but she could not reach it. + +"Help me, Mia!" Lily called. "I want to climb the tree!" + +Mia ran to the tree and tried to help Lily. She pushed Lily's feet and lifted her up. Lily felt happy and excited. She reached the branch and swung on it. She smiled at Mia and said, "Thank you, Mia! You are a good friend!" + +But then, something bad happened. The branch broke and Lily fell to the ground. She landed on her arm and felt a sharp pain. She cried and cried. She could not move her arm. It was swollen and red. + +Mia was scared and worried. She ran to a grown-up and told him what happened. The grown-up called an ambulance and took Lily and Mia to the hospital. The hospital was a big building with many rooms and people. Lily saw doctors and nurses and machines. She felt scared and sad. + +A doctor came to see Lily and looked at her arm. He said, "You have a broken arm, Lily. You need a cast to make it heal. It will hurt a little, but it will get better soon. Don't worry, you are brave and strong." + +The doctor put a white cast on Lily's arm. He asked her what color she liked. Lily said, "Pink." The doctor smiled and gave her a pink marker. He said, "You can draw on your cast and make it pretty. You can also ask your friends and family to sign it and write nice things." + +Lily liked the idea. She drew a flower and a heart on her cast. She asked Mia to sign it and write, "I love you, Lily. You are my best friend." Mia did and hugged Lily. Lily felt happy and grateful. She said, "Thank you, Mia. You are my best friend too. You helped me a lot today. I'm sorry I made you scared." + +Mia said, "It's okay, Lily. I'm glad you are okay. You are very brave and strong. I hope your arm gets better soon. Can we still dance together?" + +Lily said, "Yes, we can. We can dance with one arm. We can dance with our feet. We can dance with our smiles. We can dance with our hearts. We can always dance, Mia. We love to dance." +Sara was excited to go to the farm with her mom and dad. She wanted to see the cows and the pigs and the chickens. She liked their sounds and their smells and their fur. + +"Can I feed the cows, mom?" Sara asked. + +"Sure, honey, but you have to promise to be careful. Cows are big and strong and they might push you or step on you. You have to stay close to me and dad, okay?" mom said. + +"I promise, mom. I will be careful," Sara said. + +They got to the farm and Sara saw the cows in the field. They were black and white and brown and they had big eyes and long tongues. Sara wanted to touch them and give them some grass. + +"Look, mom, the cows are hungry. Can I feed them?" Sara asked. + +"Okay, but remember your promise. Don't go too close and don't let go of my hand," mom said. + +Sara nodded and took some grass from mom's hand. She held it out to the nearest cow. The cow came closer and sniffed the grass. Sara smiled and said, "Hello, cow. Do you want some grass?" + +The cow licked the grass from Sara's hand and mooed. Sara giggled and said, "You're welcome, cow. You're very nice." + +But then another cow saw the grass and wanted some too. It pushed the first cow away and tried to get the grass from Sara's hand. Sara got scared and pulled her hand back. The second cow mooed louder and moved closer to Sara. + +"Mom, help! The cow is mean!" Sara cried. + +Mom quickly pulled Sara away from the cow and hugged her. "It's okay, Sara. The cow is not mean, it's just greedy. It doesn't know how to share. But you did a good job. You kept your promise and you were careful. I'm proud of you," mom said. + +Sara felt better and hugged mom back. "Thank you, mom. I love you. And I love the cows, but not the greedy one," Sara said. + +Dad came over and said, "Are you okay, Sara? Do you want to see the other animals?" + +Sara nodded and said, "Yes, dad. I want to see the pigs and the chickens. Maybe they will share better." + +They all laughed and walked to the barn. Sara was excited to see the other animals and learn more about the farm. She had a fun day with her mom and dad. +Sara and Ben were twins, but they were very unique. Sara liked to draw and sing, and Ben liked to run and jump. One day, they went to the park with their mom and dad. They saw a big pond with ice on it. + +"Can we go on the ice, mom?" Sara asked. + +"No, sweetie, it's too dangerous. The ice might break and you could fall in the water," mom said. + +"But it looks so fun and shiny," Ben said. + +"Maybe we can find something else to do," dad said. He saw a hill with snow on it. "How about we make a snowman?" + +Sara and Ben nodded and followed dad to the hill. They rolled big balls of snow and stacked them on top of each other. They found a carrot, a hat, and some buttons to make the snowman's face and clothes. They named him Bob. + +"Hi, Bob!" Sara said. "You are our new friend." + +"Hello, Bob!" Ben said. He blinked his eyes and thought he saw Bob blink too. He rubbed his eyes and looked again. Bob was still smiling. + +"Did you see that?" Ben whispered to Sara. + +"See what?" Sara asked. + +"Bob blinked at me," Ben said. + +"Don't be silly, Ben. Snowmen can't blink. They are not alive," Sara said. + +"Maybe he is a magic snowman," Ben said. + +"Or maybe you are just imagining things," Sara said. + +They played with Bob for a while, then mom and dad called them to go home. They said goodbye to Bob and promised to come back soon. + +The next day, they went to the park again. They ran to the hill to see Bob, but he was gone. The ice on the pond had melted, and there was a big splash in the water. + +"Where is Bob?" Sara asked. + +"Maybe he went for a swim," Ben said. + +He blinked his eyes and thought he saw Bob wink at him from the water. He smiled and waved. + +"Bye, Bob!" he said. + +"Bye, Bob!" Sara said. + +They both laughed and went to play on the swings. They knew Bob was a very unique snowman. +Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big hole in the ground. They want to fill the hole with dirt and rocks. + +They run to the hole and start to dig and throw. They work very hard and fast. They want to fill the hole quick. They do not see the sign that says "Danger". + +A man is walking by. He sees the boys and the hole. He shouts, "Stop! That hole is for a dead tree. You cannot fill it. It is not safe." + +Tim and Sam hear the man. They are scared. They drop their dirt and rocks. They run away from the hole. They say, "Sorry, mister. We did not know. We just wanted to play." + +The man is not angry. He is glad the boys are safe. He says, "It's okay. I know you did not mean to do bad. But you have to be careful. Some holes are not for playing. Some holes are for dead things. Come, I will show you the new tree we will plant here." + +Tim and Sam follow the man. They see a big green tree in a pot. The man says, "This is a live tree. It will grow and make shade and air. We will put it in the hole and cover it with dirt and water. Do you want to help me?" + +Tim and Sam nod. They are happy. They help the man plant the tree. They learn about live and dead things. They say, "Thank you, mister. You are nice. We like the tree. We will not fill the hole again." + +The man smiles. He says, "You are welcome, boys. You are good. You can come and see the tree anytime. But remember, be careful and read the signs. They tell you what to do and not to do." + +Tim and Sam agree. They wave goodbye to the man. They go back to their mom. They tell her what they did. She hugs them and says, "I'm proud of you. You learned something new today. And you made a new friend." +Lily and Tom are playing in the kitchen. They see a big pan on the stove. It is shiny and round. They want to touch it. + +"Look, a pan!" Lily says. "Let's play with it!" + +Tom nods. He climbs on a chair and reaches for the pan. He does not know that the pan is hot. It has water inside. The water is boiling. + +Tom grabs the pan and pulls it. The pan falls off the stove. The water spills everywhere. It scatters on the floor and on Lily and Tom. It is very hot. It hurts. + +Lily and Tom scream. They are scared and in pain. They have red spots on their skin. They cry and cry. + +Mom hears them and runs to the kitchen. She sees the mess and the pan and the water. She sees Lily and Tom. They are not cute anymore. They are hurt and sad. + +Mom is angry and worried. She yells at Lily and Tom. She says they are naughty and stupid. She says they should not play with the pan. She says they need to go to the doctor. + +Lily and Tom feel bad. They are sorry and ashamed. They wish they did not play with the pan. They wish they listened to Mom. They wish they had a good ending. +Ben and Lily were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make yummy food. They had a big bowl, some flour, some eggs, some milk and some sugar. They wanted to make a cake. + +"Let's use the mixer to make the batter," said Ben. He took the mixer from the drawer and plugged it in. He turned it on and put it in the bowl. The mixer made a loud noise and the batter splashed everywhere. + +"Wow, that's weird!" said Lily. She laughed and wiped some batter from her face. "The mixer is too fast. Maybe we should use a spoon instead." + +"OK, let's try that," said Ben. He turned off the mixer and put it away. He took a big spoon and started to stir the batter. It was thick and sticky. "This is hard work. Do you want to help me?" + +"Yes, please," said Lily. She took another spoon and helped Ben stir the batter. They worked together until the batter was smooth and creamy. "We did it! We completed the batter. Now we can bake the cake." + +They poured the batter into a cake pan and put it in the oven. They set the timer and waited. They smelled the cake as it baked. It smelled delicious. They were happy and proud. They couldn't wait to eat the cake. +Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play and laugh together. One day, they find a book of jokes in the library. Sara picks up the book and says, "Let's read some jokes. They are funny and make us happy." + +Ben agrees and they sit on a couch. Sara opens the book and reads the first joke. "Why did the chicken cross the road? To get to the other side!" She laughs and looks at Ben. But Ben does not laugh. He says, "That is not a good joke. That is a silly joke. I don't like it." + +Sara feels sad. She likes the joke. She thinks it is funny. She says, "But I like it. It is a good joke. Why don't you like it?" + +Ben says, "Because it is not funny. It is boring. I know a better joke. Do you want to hear it?" + +Sara says, "Okay. Tell me your joke." + +Ben says, "What do you call a fish that wears a bow? A pretty fish!" He laughs and looks at Sara. But Sara does not laugh. She says, "That is not a good joke. That is a bad joke. I don't like it." + +Ben feels angry. He likes his joke. He thinks it is funny. He says, "But I like it. It is a good joke. Why don't you like it?" + +Sara says, "Because it is not funny. It is silly. I know a better joke. Do you want to hear it?" + +Ben says, "No. I don't want to hear your joke. Your jokes are bad. My jokes are good." + +Sara says, "No. Your jokes are bad. My jokes are good." + +They start to argue. They raise their voices. They say mean things to each other. They forget to be friends. + +A librarian hears them. She comes to them and says, "What is going on here? Why are you fighting? You are supposed to be quiet and nice in the library." + +Sara and Ben stop arguing. They look at the librarian. They feel ashamed. They say, "We are sorry. We were reading jokes. But we did not like each other's jokes. We got mad." + +The librarian says, "I see. Jokes are supposed to be fun and make you laugh. But not everyone likes the same jokes. That is okay. You can have different opinions. But you should not be rude or mean to each other. You should respect and listen to each other. You should be friends." + +Sara and Ben nod. They say, "You are right. We are sorry. We were not nice to each other. We should be friends." + +The librarian says, "That is good. I am glad you are sorry. I recommend you to say sorry to each other and hug. Then you can find another book to read together. Maybe a book that is not about jokes. Maybe a book about animals or colors or shapes. What do you think?" + +Sara and Ben say, "That sounds good. Thank you for your advice. We will do that." + +They say sorry to each other and hug. They feel happy again. They put back the book of jokes and find another book to read together. They smile and laugh together. They are friends again. +Tom and Lily were playing with blocks in the living room. They liked to build towers and bridges and houses with the blocks. They had many colors and shapes of blocks to choose from. + +"Look, Lily, I made a big tower!" Tom said, showing his creation to his sister. + +"That's nice, Tom, but I made a better one!" Lily said, pointing to her own tower, which was taller and had more blocks. + +Tom felt angry. He did not like it when Lily said her things were better than his. He wanted to knock down her tower and make her cry. But he remembered what Mommy had told him. + +"Tom, you have to mind your sister. She is younger than you and you have to be nice to her. Don't break her things or hurt her feelings. That would be a waste of your blocks and your time. You are an intelligent boy and you can share and play nicely with Lily." Mommy had said. + +Tom took a deep breath and tried to calm down. He did not want to waste his blocks or his time. He wanted to be an intelligent boy and mind his sister. He looked at Lily's tower and said, "Your tower is very good, Lily. I like the colors and the shapes you used. Can I add some blocks to your tower and make it even better?" + +Lily smiled and nodded. She was happy that Tom was being nice to her. She liked to share and play with her brother. She gave him some blocks and said, "Thank you, Tom. You are a good brother. Let's make the best tower ever!" +Ben and Lily were playing in the yard. They liked to dig and make things with dirt and rocks. They found a big black rock that looked like coal. They wanted to use it for their castle. + +"Let's remove this rock and put it on top of our castle," Ben said. "It will be our crown." + +"Okay," Lily said. "But it is very heavy. We need to work together." + +They tried to lift the rock, but it was too hard. They pushed and pulled, but it did not move. They were getting tired and dirty. + +"Maybe we need something to help us," Lily said. "Like a stick or a rope." + +Ben looked around and saw a shovel leaning against the fence. He had an idea. + +"I have a creative plan," he said. "We can use the shovel to dig under the rock and make it loose. Then we can roll it to our castle." + +"Good idea," Lily said. "Let's try it." + +They ran to the shovel and took turns digging under the rock. They made a hole and saw the rock was not as big as they thought. It was only half buried in the ground. + +"Look, we can see the bottom of the rock now," Ben said. "It is not coal. It is something else." + +They dug some more and freed the rock from the dirt. They rolled it to their castle and put it on top. They were very proud of their work. + +They looked at the rock and saw it was shiny and sparkly. It had many colors and shapes. It was not a rock at all. It was a treasure. + +"Wow, we found a treasure," Lily said. "It is so pretty." + +"Maybe it belongs to someone," Ben said. "Maybe it is magic." + +They wondered who left the treasure there and what it could do. They decided to keep it a secret and play with it every day. They did not know that the treasure was really a meteorite that fell from the sky. They did not know that it had strange powers that would change their lives. They only knew that they had a lot of fun and were very happy. +Anna is a painter. She likes to make pictures with colors. She has a big paper and many brushes. She paints a house, a tree, a sun and a cat. + +"Look, Mommy, I made a picture for you!" Anna says. She shows her picture to her mommy. Mommy smiles and hugs Anna. + +"That is a very nice picture, Anna. You are a good painter. Thank you for making it for me." Mommy says. + +Anna is happy. She puts her picture on the table. She sees a cookie on a plate. She is hungry. She takes the cookie and eats it. + +"Yum, yum, this is a good cookie." Anna says. + +But then she sees something. The cookie has colors on it. The same colors as her picture. She looks at her picture. It has a big bite on it. She ate her picture! + +"Oh no, oh no, I ate my picture!" Anna says. She is upset. She cries. + +Mommy hears Anna. She comes to the table. She sees the cookie and the picture. + +"Oh, Anna, what happened?" Mommy says. + +"I ate my picture, Mommy. I ate my picture." Anna says. She shows Mommy the cookie and the picture. + +Mommy sees the colors. She understands. She hugs Anna. + +"It's okay, Anna. It was a mistake. You did not mean to eat your picture. You were hungry and you saw a cookie. It can happen to anyone." Mommy says. + +"Really, Mommy?" Anna says. + +"Yes, really, Anna. Your picture is still very nice. You can still see the house, the tree, the sun and the cat. And you can make another picture if you want. I still love your picture and I still love you." Mommy says. + +Anna feels better. She wipes her tears. She smiles. + +"Thank you, Mommy. I love you too. And I love painting. Can I make another picture for you?" Anna says. + +"Of course, Anna. You can make as many pictures as you want. You are a great painter. And next time, be careful with the cookies." Mommy says. + +They laugh. They hug. They paint. They eat. They are happy. +Tim and Anna are twins. They like to play in the living room. They have many toys and books. But sometimes they fight over what to play. + +One day, Tim finds a magazine on the table. It has many pictures of animals. He likes animals. He wants to look at the magazine. + +"Anna, look at this!" he says. "It has a lion and a monkey and a frog!" + +Anna is playing with her dolls. She does not want to look at the magazine. She is stubborn. + +"No, I don't want to look at that," she says. "I want to play with my dolls. Go away!" + +Tim is sad. He thinks Anna is mean. He wants to show her the magazine. He has an idea. He jumps on the couch with the magazine. He makes loud noises. + +"Roar! I am a lion! Ooh-ooh! I am a monkey! Ribbit! I am a frog!" + +Anna is annoyed. She does not like the noise. She does not like Tim jumping on the couch. She tells him to stop. + +"Tim, stop that! You are making too much noise! You are messing up the couch! You are not a lion or a monkey or a frog! You are a silly boy!" + +Tim does not stop. He jumps higher and higher. He thinks it is fun. He does not listen to Anna. He is stubborn too. + +But then, he jumps too high. He loses his balance. He falls off the couch. He drops the magazine. He hurts his knee. He cries. + +Anna hears him cry. She sees him on the floor. She feels sorry for him. She forgets about the dolls. She runs to him. + +"Tim, are you okay?" she says. "I'm sorry I was mean to you. Do you want me to look at the magazine with you?" + +Tim stops crying. He looks at Anna. He sees that she is nice. He smiles. + +"Yes, please," he says. "I want to show you the animals. They are cool." + +Anna helps him up. She picks up the magazine. She sits with him on the couch. They look at the magazine together. They see the lion and the monkey and the frog. They learn their names and sounds. They have fun. + +They are happy. They are twins. They are friends. +Tim and Mia were playing in the living room. They liked to pretend they were spies and hide behind the couch. They had a flashlight and a walkie-talkie to communicate. + +"Tim, do you see the switch?" Mia whispered into the walkie-talkie. "We need to shut it off to stop the bad guys." + +"Yes, I see it. It's on the wall next to the door. But there's a big dog guarding it. It looks mean and scary." Tim whispered back. + +They had to be brave and smart. They decided to distract the dog with a toy. Mia threw a ball across the room. The dog ran after it, barking loudly. + +"Now's our chance!" Tim said. He ran to the switch and shut it off. The lights went out. The bad guys were foiled. + +"Great job, Tim!" Mia said. "We did it! We saved the day!" + +They high-fived and hugged. They were the best spies ever. +Tim and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big hat on a bench. The hat is rough and brown. It has a feather on it. + +"Look, a hat!" Tim says. He runs to the bench and puts the hat on his head. "I am a pirate!" + +Sam laughs. He runs to Tim and tries to take the hat. "No, I am a pirate!" + +They pull the hat and fight. The hat is old and weak. It rips in two. + +"Oh no!" Tim and Sam say. They are sad and angry. They throw the hat pieces on the ground. + +A man comes to the bench. He is mad. He sees the hat pieces. The hat is his. + +"Who did this?" he yells. He sees Tim and Sam. "You bad kids! You broke my hat!" + +He grabs Tim and Sam by the arms. He takes them to their moms. He tells them what they did. + +Tim and Sam are in trouble. They have to say sorry. They have to pay for the hat. They have to go home. + +They are not friends anymore. They are not pirates. They are sad. The end. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to pretend they were superheroes with mighty powers. Tom said he could fly and shoot lasers from his eyes. Lily said she could run fast and make things freeze with her breath. + +They saw a big slide and ran to it. Tom wanted to go first. He climbed to the top and shouted, "Look at me! I'm the best superhero ever!" He tried to fly off the slide, but he slipped and fell on the ground. He hurt his knee and started to cry. + +Lily ran to help him. She saw some other kids laughing at Tom. She felt angry and sad. She wanted to use her power to freeze them, but she knew that was not nice. She said to Tom, "Don't worry, Tom. Everyone makes mistakes. You are still a mighty superhero. And you are my friend." + +Tom looked at Lily and smiled. He said, "Thank you, Lily. You are a mighty superhero too. And you are my friend." He hugged her and wiped his tears. He said, "Let's go play something else. Maybe we can find a swing or a seesaw." + +They walked away from the slide, holding hands. They did not care about the other kids. They knew they had the best power of all: friendship. +Sara and Ben like to play with their toys. They have many toys, but their favorite is a big red car. They take turns to drive the car and make vroom-vroom sounds. Sometimes they race with the car and see who is faster. + +One day, they decide to have a big race around the yard. They draw a line with a stick and say "go" at the same time. They push the car as fast as they can and run behind it. They laugh and shout and have fun. + +But then, Sara sees a rag on the ground. It is a dirty rag that Mom uses to clean the floor. Sara thinks it is funny and picks it up. She waves it in the air and says "look, Ben, I have a flag!" + +Ben looks at Sara and sees that she is not racing anymore. He thinks he can win the race now. He pushes the car harder and runs faster. He passes Sara and the rag and reaches the other side of the yard. He is very happy and says "I win, I win!" + +Sara sees that Ben has won the race. She is not sad, because she still has the rag. She thinks it is a pretty rag and wraps it around her neck. She says "I have a scarf, I have a scarf!" + +Ben sees that Sara has a scarf. He thinks it is a nice scarf and wants to have it too. He says "can I have your scarf, Sara? It is clear that you like it, but I like it too." + +Sara thinks for a moment. She likes the rag, but she likes Ben more. She says "OK, Ben, you can have my scarf. But you have to share the car with me." + +Ben agrees and smiles. He takes the rag and puts it around his neck. He says "thank you, Sara, you are a good friend. We can share the car and the scarf." + +Sara and Ben hug and go back to play with the car. They are both happy and forget about the race. They have more fun when they share. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys. Lily has a doll and Ben has a car.

Lily asks Ben. + +"Sure, you can see it. But you have to give me something too," Ben says. + +"What do you want?" Lily asks. + +Ben looks at Lily's doll. He likes the doll. He wants to play with it. + +"I want your doll. Let's trade. You give me your doll and I give you my ball," Ben suggests. + +Lily thinks for a moment. She likes her doll, but she also likes the ball. She decides to trade with Ben. + +"OK, let's trade. Here is my doll and you give me your ball," Lily says. + +They trade their toys. Lily holds the ball and Ben holds the doll. They are happy. They play with their new toys. + +They have a successful trade. They are good friends. They share and have fun. +Lily was a spoiled girl who always wanted more toys. She had a lot of dolls, cars, books, and puzzles, but she was never happy. She always cried and whined when she saw something new. One day, she saw a big sheep with soft wool at the farm. She wanted to ride the sheep and have its wool for herself. + +She ran to the sheep and tried to climb on its back. The sheep did not like that. It was scared and angry. It kicked Lily off and ran away. Lily fell on the ground and hurt her knee. She screamed and cried very loud. The farmer came and saw what happened. He was not happy. He scolded Lily and told her to go away. He said she was rude and greedy. He said she could not ride the sheep or have its wool. + +Lily was sad and ashamed. She had no sheep, no wool, and no fun. She had a sore knee and a red face. She wished she was not so spoiled. She wished she was nice and kind. She learned a hard lesson that day. She never tried to ride a sheep again. +Sam and Lily are twins. They like to play in their room. They have many toys and books. But sometimes they get bored. + +One morning, they wake up early. They are hungry. They want to eat breakfast. But Mom and Dad are still sleeping. + +"Let's go to the kitchen," Sam says. "Maybe we can find some food." + +"OK," Lily says. "But we have to be quiet. We don't want to wake Mom and Dad." + +They get out of their bed. They put on their slippers. They walk to the door. But the door is closed. And the knob is too high. + +"How can we open the door?" Lily asks. + +Sam has an idea. He sees a chair near the door. He drags the chair to the door. He climbs on the chair. He reaches for the knob. + +"I got it!" he says. He turns the knob. He opens the door. + +"Good job, Sam!" Lily says. She climbs on the chair too. She follows Sam out of the door. + +They walk to the kitchen. They see a big bowl of fruit on the table. They see bananas, apples, oranges, and grapes. + +"Yummy!" Sam says. He grabs a banana. He peels it. He takes a bite. + +"Yummy!" Lily says. She grabs an apple. She washes it. She takes a bite. + +They sit on the table. They eat their fruit. They are happy. They are not hungry anymore. + +But they don't see the cat. The cat is on the floor. The cat is hungry too. The cat sees the grapes. The cat likes grapes. The cat jumps on the table. The cat knocks over the bowl. The grapes roll on the floor. + +"Uh-oh!" Sam and Lily say. They hear a loud noise. They see the cat. They see the grapes. They see the mess. + +They hear Mom and Dad. Mom and Dad wake up. Mom and Dad come to the kitchen. Mom and Dad see Sam and Lily. Mom and Dad see the cat.

They saw some big clouds in the sky and felt the wind blow. + +"Look, Tom, the clouds are angry!" Mia said. + +"No, they are not angry, they are just loud," Tom said. + +But the wind got stronger and stronger, and the clouds got darker and darker. Tom and Mia heard a scary sound, like a big lion roaring. + +"What is that, Tom?" Mia asked. + +"That is a hurricane, Mia. It is a big storm that can break things and hurt people. We have to go inside, now!" Tom said. + +They ran to the house, holding their toys. They saw their mom and dad waiting for them at the door. + +"Come on, kids, we have to go to the basement. It is safe there," mom said. + +They followed mom and dad to the basement. It was dark and cold, but they had some candles and blankets. They also had some books and games to play. + +"Where is the hurricane, mom?" Mia asked. + +"It is outside, Mia. It is very strong and loud, but it will go away soon. We have to stay hidden until it is over," mom said. + +Tom and Mia nodded. They hugged their toys and each other. They hoped the hurricane would go away soon. They rocked on the floor and sang some songs to make them feel better. +Lily and Tom were friends. They liked to play in the field near their home. The field had many flowers and trees and birds. Lily and Tom liked to make up stories and whisper them to each other. + +One day, they saw a big hole in the fence of the field. They were curious. They wanted to see what was on the other side. They whispered to each other, "Let's go and look. Maybe we will find something fun." + +They crawled through the hole and walked into the woods. They did not see anyone. They did not hear anything. They felt brave and happy. They whispered to each other, "This is a great adventure. We are explorers." + +But then, they heard a loud roar. They turned around and saw a big bear. The bear was angry and hungry. It saw Lily and Tom and ran towards them. Lily and Tom were frightened. They screamed and ran back to the hole. But the hole was too small. They could not fit through. The bear was faster. It caught them and ate them. The end. +Tom did not want to wear his shirt. It was red and itchy and he hated it. He wanted to wear his blue shirt with the cars on it. He liked cars and he liked blue. + +"Tom, put on your shirt, please. We have to go soon," Mom said. She held the red shirt in her hand and tried to put it on Tom. + +"No, no, no!" Tom shouted. He resisted Mom and pushed the shirt away. He ran to his room and looked for his blue shirt. He could not find it. He felt sad and angry. + +Mom followed him and saw him crying on his bed. She felt sorry for him and was thoughtful. She knew he loved his blue shirt, but it was dirty and in the laundry. She had an idea. + +"Tom, I have something for you," she said. She took out a new shirt from a bag. It was blue and had cars on it, just like his old one. "I bought this for you yesterday. Do you like it?" + +Tom looked at the shirt and his eyes lit up. He smiled and hugged Mom. He liked the shirt very much. He thanked Mom and put it on. He felt happy and proud. + +"Wow, you look great, Tom. Are you ready to go?" Mom asked. + +"Yes, Mom. Let's go!" Tom said. He held Mom's hand and they went out. He forgot about the red shirt and enjoyed his day. +Tom has a dog. His dog's name is Spot. Spot is a loyal dog. He always follows Tom wherever he goes. Tom loves Spot very much. + +One day, Tom and Spot go to the park. They see many other dogs and people. Tom wants to play with them. He says to Spot, "Stay here, boy. I will be back soon."

He stops playing and looks for Spot. He sees Spot running to the tree. He calls out, "Spot, come back! Don't follow the squirrel!" But Spot does not hear him. He is too busy chasing the squirrel. + +Tom runs after Spot. He hopes he can catch him. He does not want to lose his loyal dog. He says to himself, "Spot, please come back. You are my best friend." +Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park every day. They liked to swing, slide and run. They also liked to look at the mist. The mist was like a soft cloud that made everything look magic. + +One day, Lily and Ben had a fight. Lily wanted to swing first, but Ben said no. Ben wanted to swing first, but Lily said no. They pushed and pulled and shouted. They were very angry and sad. They did not want to play with each other anymore. + +The next day, the mist was gone. The park looked boring and dull.

They hugged and smiled. They said they were sorry for being mean and selfish. They said they were best friends again. They said they would share and take turns.

He goes to the mean boy. He says, "Stop that. You are making trouble. You are not nice. You have to leave the park." He takes the mean boy by the hand. He leads him to the gate.

She hugs them and kisses them. + +"Mom, I'm sorry, I love you. I'm not mean. I just want you to be safe. The storm will be over soon. Then you can go out and play with your toys in the living room. But for now, you have to be patient and stay in your room. Can you do that for me?" Mom says. + +Sara and Ben look at Mom. They see her eyes are kind and her smile is warm. They feel her arms are strong and her heart is big. They stop crying and shouting. + +"OK, Mom, we will be patient and stay in our room. We love you too. Thank you for keeping us safe," Sara and Ben say. + +Mom smiles and says, "You're welcome, my sweeties. You are very good and brave. I'm proud of you.

He liked to draw triangles best. He made big triangles, small triangles, red triangles, blue triangles. He drew them on his paper, on his wall, on his bed. + +But his mom did not like that. She saw his drawings and got very grumpy. She said, "Ben, why did you draw on the wall and the bed? That is not good. You have to clean it up. And no more crayons for you today." + +Ben felt sad and angry. He did not want to clean up. He liked his drawings. He said, "No, mom, I don't want to. I like triangles. They are pretty. You are mean." + +His mom said, "Don't talk to me like that. You have to listen to me. I am your mom. And triangles are not pretty. They are boring.

I hope you like it." + +She opened the bag and took out the brown bear. She held it out to him. + +But Ben did not smile. He looked at the bear and made a face. He said, "A bear? I don't like bears.

She did not know what to say. She thought Ben would like the bear. She liked the bear. She thought it was nice and soft and fluffy.

She said, "What are you doing? You are too young to marry. You don't know what marriage is. It is hard. You have to work, and share, and fight, and forgive. You can't just play. You have to grow up first." + +Lily and Tom were sad. They did not understand. They thought marriage was fun. They thought they were grown up. They did not want to work, or share, or fight, or forgive. They just wanted to love. They said, "But we love each other. We want to marry. We want to live in luxury. We want to be happy." + +Lily's mom shook her head. She said, "You don't know what love is. You don't know what luxury is. You don't know what happiness is. You are just children. You have to learn. You have to wait. You have to be careful. Marriage is not a game. It is a choice. And you are not ready." + +Lily and Tom cried. They felt confused. They felt hurt. They felt angry.

Lila and Max want to touch it. They run to the balloon. + +"Hello, balloon!" Lila says. "Can we play with you?" + +The balloon does not answer. It is not alive. It is full of oxygen. Oxygen is a thing that we breathe. But Lila and Max do not know that. + +They touch the balloon. It is smooth and soft. They push it. It bounces. They laugh. + +"Let's make a joke!" Max says. "Let's pretend the balloon is our friend. Let's give it a name and talk to it." + +"OK!" Lila says. "What name do you want to give it?" + +Max thinks. He says, "How about Bob? Bob the blue balloon." + +Lila likes the name. She says, "Hi, Bob! How are you today?" + +The balloon does not answer. It is still not alive. But Lila and Max pretend it does. They make funny voices for Bob. They ask him questions and answer for him. They make Bob say silly things. They giggle. + +They have fun with Bob. They play with him for a long time. They do not notice that the balloon is slowly losing air. It is getting smaller and smaller. + +Then, the balloon pops. It makes a loud noise. It scares Lila and Max. They jump. They look at the balloon. It is gone. There is only a piece of blue rubber on the ground. + +Lila and Max are sad. They say, "Oh, no! Bob! What happened to you?" + +They do not understand. They think Bob is hurt. They feel sorry for him. + +They hug each other. They say, "We miss you, Bob. You were a good friend. You made us laugh. We love you, Bob." + +They do not know that Bob was not a real friend. He was just a balloon. He was just full of oxygen. He was just blue. But Lila and Max do not care. They remember Bob. They smile. They say, "Bye, Bob. Thank you for the joke." +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big place with many stones and windows. It looked very old and different. + +"What is that place?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know. Let's go and see," Tom said. + +They ran to the place and found a door. They pushed it and it opened. Inside, it was dark and cold. They saw many things that they did not know. There were paintings, statues, books, and candles. + +"Wow, this place is ancient," Tom said. + +"Look, there is a man with a crown and a robe. He looks like a king," Lily said. + +They walked to the man. He was sitting on a big chair. He had a long beard and a serious face. He was holding a stick with a shiny ball on top. + +"Hello, who are you?" the man asked. + +"We are Tom and Lily. We are playing in the park. Who are you?" Tom asked. + +"I am the king of this place. This is my castle. What are you doing here?" the man asked. + +"We are sorry. We did not know. We just wanted to see this place. It is very old and different," Lily said. + +The man smiled. He liked the children. They were curious and polite. + +"It is okay. You can see this place. It is very old and different. It has many stories and secrets. Do you want to hear some?" the man asked. + +"Yes, please," Tom and Lily said. + +"Then come with me. I will show you around. But first, you have to bow to me. That is how you show respect to a king," the man said. + +Tom and Lily nodded. They bowed to the man. He was happy. He took their hands and led them to the next room. He told them many stories and secrets. They had a lot of fun. They learned a lot. They liked the ancient place and the king. +Mia and Leo are twins. They like to help Mom in the kitchen. Today, Mom is making soup. She asks Mia and Leo to get some peppers from the garden. + +Mia and Leo run outside. They see many peppers on the plants. Some are red, some are green, some are yellow. Mia likes the red ones. She thinks they are sweet. Leo likes the green ones. He thinks they are spicy. + +Mia picks a red pepper and bites it. She smiles. "Yum, this is a good pepper," she says. Leo picks a green pepper and bites it. He makes a face. "Yuck, this is a bad pepper," he says. He spits it out. + +Mia laughs. "Leo, you are silly. Green peppers are not bad. They are just different. Try a red one. They are sweet." + +Leo shakes his head. "No, thank you. I do not like sweet peppers. I like spicy peppers. But this one is too spicy. I need some water." + +Mia and Leo go back to the kitchen. They give Mom the peppers they picked. Mom washes them and cuts them. She puts them in a pot with water and salt and other things. She stirs the soup. + +Mia and Leo watch. They see Mom take a string and a needle. She threads the needle and pokes it through some peppers. She makes a long chain of peppers. She hangs the chain on the wall. + +"What are you doing, Mom?" Mia asks. + +"I am drying the peppers, Mia. They will last longer this way. We can use them later for other dishes. They will add flavor and color," Mom says. + +"Can I help you, Mom?" Leo asks. + +"Sure, Leo. You can help me hang the peppers. Be careful with the needle. It is sharp," Mom says. + +Mia and Leo help Mom hang the peppers. They are proud of their work. They think the peppers look pretty on the wall. They can't wait to taste the soup. They hope it will be delicious. +Tom and Mia are playing in the garden. They have a big bucket of water and some cups. They like to pour water on the flowers and on each other. + +"Look, Mia, this flower is red and spicy. It smells like fire!" Tom says, holding a cup of water near a rose. + +"No, Tom, that flower is not spicy. It is pretty and sweet. It smells like candy!" Mia says, sniffing the rose. + +They both laugh and pour water on the rose. The rose shakes and drops some petals. + +"Oops, we made the flower sad. Let's say sorry and give it some shade," Tom says, feeling sorry. + +They find a big leaf and put it over the rose. They hope the flower will be happy again. + +"Let's go and find more flowers to pour water on. Maybe we can find some blue and cold ones, or some yellow and sunny ones," Mia says, taking Tom's hand. + +They run to the other side of the garden, where there are many different flowers. They have fun pouring water and smelling them. They are happy and curious. +Sara did not like haircuts. She liked her long hair. She did not want to cut it. She cried when her mom said it was time to go to the salon. + +"Please, mom, no haircut!" Sara begged. "I love my hair!" + +"Sara, you need a haircut," her mom said. "Your hair is too long and messy. It gets in your eyes and mouth. It is not good for you." + +Sara was still sad. She did not want to lose her hair. She thought it was part of her. She held her hair tight. + +At the salon, Sara met a nice lady. The lady smiled and said, "Hello, Sara. I am Lisa. I am going to give you a haircut. Don't worry, it will not hurt. It will be fun." + +Sara did not trust Lisa. She did not want to sit in the big chair. She did not like the scissors and the comb. She was scared. + +Lisa saw that Sara was scared. She said, "Sara, I have something to show you. Look at this." She took out a small toy. It was a bird. It was blue and yellow. It had a button on its back. + +"What is that?" Sara asked. + +"This is a bird," Lisa said. "It is a toy bird. It can sing and flap its wings. It is harmless. Do you want to play with it?" + +Sara liked the bird. She nodded. She reached out her hand. Lisa gave her the bird. Sara pressed the button. The bird sang and flapped its wings. Sara smiled. + +Lisa said, "Sara, you are holding the bird too tight. You need to release it. Let it fly. It will be happier." + +Sara looked at the bird. She saw that it was struggling. She felt sorry for the bird. She released it. She let it fly. The bird flew around the room. It sang and flapped its wings. It looked happy. + +Lisa said, "See, Sara? The bird is happy. You made it happy. You are a good girl. Now, can I give you a haircut? It will make you happy too. You will look pretty and neat. You will feel lighter and cooler. You will still be you. You will not lose anything. You will just release some hair." + +Sara thought about it. She looked at the bird. She looked at Lisa. She looked at her mom. She nodded. She said, "Okay. You can give me a haircut. I trust you." + +Lisa smiled. She said, "Good girl. You are brave and smart. You are ready for a haircut. Come, sit in the big chair. I will be gentle and quick. You will love your haircut." + +Sara sat in the big chair. She held the bird in her lap. She let Lisa cut her hair. She did not cry. She did not fuss. She watched her hair fall to the floor. She felt lighter and cooler. She saw herself in the mirror. She looked pretty and neat. She smiled. + +Lisa said, "You did it, Sara. You got a haircut. You look beautiful. How do you feel?" + +Sara said, "I feel good. I feel happy. I like my haircut. Thank you, Lisa. Thank you, mom." + +Her mom said, "You are welcome, Sara. I am proud of you. You were brave and smart. You learned something new. You learned to release what you don't need. You learned to trust and try. You learned to be happy." + +Sara hugged her mom. She hugged Lisa. She hugged the bird. She said, "I learned a lot today. I learned to release, trust, and try. I learned to be happy. I learned to love haircuts." + +The end. + +Moral value: The story teaches the value of releasing what you don't need, trusting and trying new things, and being happy with yourself. +Sara was a little girl who liked to learn new things. She had many books with pictures and words in her room. She wanted to know what the words meant and how to say them. She asked her mom and dad to teach her, and they were happy to help. + +One day, Sara saw a book with words she did not know. The book had a picture of a big bear on the cover. Sara was curious and opened the book. She saw more pictures of bears and other animals, and words that looked strange. She tried to read them, but they sounded funny. + +She ran to her mom and showed her the book. "Mom, what is this?" she asked. "What language is this?" + +Her mom smiled and took the book. "This is a book in French, Sara. French is a language that some people speak in another place. It is different from our language, but it is not bad. It is just another way to talk." + +Sara looked puzzled. "Can I learn French, mom? Can I talk to the bears?" + +Her mom laughed and hugged her. "You can learn French if you want, Sara. But the bears do not speak French. They do not speak any language. They just make noises that we cannot understand. They are harmless, but they are not like us. They live in the woods and eat honey and fish." + +Sara nodded and smiled. She liked to learn new things. She wanted to learn French and see the bears. She asked her mom to read her the book and teach her some words. She repeated them after her mom and tried to remember them. She was happy and proud. She had a new book and a new language. +Tom and Anna were friends who liked to play together. They had many toys and games, but they also liked to learn new things. Sometimes, they would join their mom or dad when they watched a lecture on the TV. A lecture was when someone talked about something interesting and showed pictures or videos. + +One day, Tom and Anna saw a lecture about animals. They saw lions and elephants and monkeys and many more. They learned how they lived and what they ate and how they sounded. They were very happy and curious. + +But then, Tom saw a lecture about cars. He loved cars and wanted to watch it. He told Anna to join him, but Anna did not like cars. She thought they were boring and noisy and ordinary. She wanted to watch something else. She told Tom to join her, but Tom did not want to. + +They started to argue and shout. They did not listen to each other. They did not share the TV. They did not play together. They were very angry and sad. + +Their mom heard them and came to see what was wrong. She saw them fighting and asked them to stop. She told them that they could watch different lectures, but they had to take turns and be respectful. She told them that they could learn from each other and find something new and fun. She told them that they were friends and they should be kind and helpful. + +Tom and Anna realized that their mom was right. They said sorry to each other and hugged. They decided to watch the car lecture first, and then the animal lecture. They asked each other questions and shared what they knew. They had fun and learned a lot. They were very happy and grateful. +True is a dog who likes to play with his toys. He has a ball, a bone, and a rope. He plays with them every day in the yard.

He is angry and shouts, "Stop that! Spot, you are a bad dog. You cannot take True's toys. They are his. You have to share and be nice." + +He takes Spot away from True and gives him a leash. He says, "Spot, you are going to your home. You need to learn how to behave. You cannot bully other dogs." + +He gives True a hug and a treat. He says, "True, you are a good dog. You are brave and loyal. You can keep your toys. You deserve them." + +True is happy and grateful. He licks the man's face and wags his tail. He is tired from the fight, but he is also proud. He learns that he should stand up for himself and his things. He also learns that sharing and being nice are better than taking and being mean. +Sara likes to play dress-up with her mom's clothes. She opens the closet and sees many hangers with different dresses, skirts, and shirts. She picks a red dress with white dots and a fake pearl necklace. She tries to wear them, but they are too big for her. + +"Look, mom, I'm a princess!" she says, spinning around in front of the mirror. + +Mom smiles and says, "You are very pretty, Sara, but those clothes are not for you. They are for grown-ups. You have your own clothes in your drawer. Why don't you wear them?" + +Sara pouts and says, "But I like your clothes. They are more fun and fancy. My clothes are boring and plain." + +Mom hugs Sara and says, "Your clothes are not boring, Sara. They are colorful and cozy. And they fit you well. You can still be a princess with your own clothes. You just need to use your imagination. Here, let me help you." + +Mom takes Sara to her drawer and helps her choose a yellow dress with a flower print and a pink ribbon. She also finds a plastic tiara and a wand for Sara. She helps her wear them and says, "Now you look like a real princess, Sara. And you know what? You don't need fake pearls or big dresses to be a princess. You just need to be yourself. You are my princess, Sara, and I love you." + +Sara smiles and hugs mom. She says, "Thank you, mom. I love you too. And I love my clothes. They are perfect for me." She runs to the mirror and says, "Look, mom, I'm a princess!" +Anna was lonely. She had no friends to play with. She liked to draw and sing, but she wanted someone to share her fun. She asked her mom, "Can I have a friend, please?" + +Mom smiled and said, "You can make a friend, Anna. Look, I have an avocado. It is a fruit that has a big seed inside. You can use the seed to grow a plant. The plant can be your friend." + +Anna was curious. She said, "How can I grow a plant from a seed?" + +Mom said, "First, we need to cut the avocado and take out the seed. Then, we need to fix the seed with some toothpicks and put it in a glass of water. The toothpicks will help the seed stay on top of the water. The water will help the seed grow roots. The roots will help the seed grow a stem. The stem will help the seed grow leaves. The leaves will help the seed grow flowers. The flowers will make the plant beautiful and happy." + +Anna liked the idea. She said, "Can I help you, mom?" + +Mom said, "Of course, you can. You can hold the avocado while I cut it. You can find some toothpicks in the drawer. You can fill a glass with water. You can watch the seed every day and see how it changes. You can talk to the seed and sing to it. You can give it a name. You can be its friend." + +Anna was excited. She said, "Thank you, mom. I will take good care of my seed. I will call it Ava. Ava the avocado. Ava will be my best friend." +Lila and Tom were brother and sister. They liked to play hide and seek in the big house. One day, they decided to play in the attic, where there were many old things and dark corners. + +Lila was the seeker, and Tom was the hider. He found a big trunk and opened it. Inside, there were some clothes and a blanket. He thought it was a good place to hide, so he lay down in the trunk and covered himself with the blanket. + +Lila looked for Tom everywhere, but she could not find him. She called his name, but there was only silence. She started to feel scared and lonely. She wished Tom would come out and play with her. + +Tom heard Lila calling him, but he did not answer. He thought it was funny to make her look for him for a long time. He felt warm and cozy in the trunk, and he started to fall asleep. + +After a while, Lila gave up and went downstairs. She told Mom that she could not find Tom. Mom was worried and went to the attic with Lila. They searched for Tom, but they could not see him. They opened the trunk, and there he was, hidden under the blanket, snoring. + +Mom and Lila were angry and sad. They woke Tom up and scolded him. They told him that he was very naughty and selfish. He made Lila scared and lonely, and he made Mom worried. He should have come out when Lila called him, or at least answered her. He should have thought about how she felt, and not only about himself. + +Tom felt sorry and ashamed. He realized that he was wrong, and he apologized to Lila and Mom. He hugged them and promised to be a better brother and son. He learned that hiding is not always fun, and that he should care for others. + +The moral of the story is: Don't be selfish and mean. Think about how your actions affect others. Be kind and respectful. +Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Timmy. Timmy loved to play with his toy cars in the park.

Max didn't like that and tried to bite the cat. His owner said, "No, Max! That's not the way to behave. You must be nice to other animals." + +Max felt sad and apologized to the cat. The cat forgave him and they became friends. Max learned that being loyal means being kind to everyone, even if they are different from you. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily.

"You can't touch the fire. It's not safe." + +Tommy listened to his big sister and didn't touch the candle. Lily was proud of herself for being a good sister and keeping Tommy safe.

They enjoy their dinner. They are a happy family. +Sara and Ben are playing outside in the snow. They are making a large snowman with a hat and a scarf. They are having fun, but they are also feeling cold. + +"Ben, I am cold. Can we go inside soon?" Sara asks. + +"Not yet, Sara. We have to finish the snowman. Look, he needs a nose and a mouth," Ben says. + +He picks up a carrot and a stick and puts them on the snowman's face. Sara helps him with the buttons and the eyes. + +"There, he is done. He is a large and happy snowman," Ben says. + +They stand back and admire their work. They smile and hug each other. + +But then, they hear a loud noise. It is a snow plow coming down the street. It is clearing the snow from the road. It is getting closer and closer to their snowman. + +"Oh no, Ben! The snow plow will smash our snowman!" Sara cries. + +"Quick, Sara, we have to save him!" Ben says. + +They run to their snowman and try to push him away from the road. But he is too large and heavy. They cannot move him. + +"Help, help!" they shout. + +The snow plow driver sees them and stops. He gets out of his truck and walks to them. + +"What are you doing, kids?" he asks. + +"Please, mister, don't hurt our snowman. We worked hard to make him. He is our friend," Sara says. + +The driver looks at the snowman and smiles. He sees the hat and the scarf and the carrot and the stick. + +"I see. He is a nice snowman. I don't want to hurt him either," he says. + +He goes back to his truck and gets a shovel. He starts to dig around the snowman's base. He makes a path for the snowman to roll away from the road. + +"Here, kids, help me push him to the yard. He will be safe there," he says. + +Sara and Ben help him push the snowman to the yard. They thank the driver for his help. He waves and drives away. + +Sara and Ben hug their snowman again. They are happy that he is safe. They are also happy that the driver was kind and friendly. + +They go inside to warm up. They drink hot chocolate and tell their mom about their adventure. They look out the window and see their snowman smiling in the yard. They smile back and say good night. +Sam and Mia were best friends. They liked to play with their toys and make up stories. One day, they decided to pretend they were doctors and nurses. They took out their toy stethoscope, bandages, and medicine. + +"Who wants to be the doctor?" Sam asked. + +"I do, I do!" Mia said. "You can be the patient, Sam. Lie down on the couch and I will check you." + +Sam lay down and Mia put the stethoscope on his chest. She listened carefully. + +"Hmm, I hear something funny in your lung, Sam. It sounds like a frog. Do you have a frog in your lung?" Mia asked. + +Sam giggled. "No, silly, I don't have a frog in my lung. That's just my heart. It goes thump, thump, thump." + +Mia frowned. "No, it's not your heart. It's a frog. I know it. I have to get it out. Wait here, I'll be right back." + +Mia ran to the kitchen and came back with a big spoon. She held it up like a scalpel. + +"Sam, I have to cut your lung open and take out the frog. Don't worry, it won't hurt. I'm a very good doctor," Mia said. + +Sam's eyes widened. He did not like the look of the spoon. He did not want Mia to cut his lung open. He did not want to lose his frog. He jumped off the couch and ran away. + +"Mia, no, no, no! Stop, stop, stop! I don't want to play this game anymore. Let's play something else. Please, please, please!" Sam cried. + +Mia chased him around the room. She was not ready to give up. She wanted to display her skills as a doctor. She wanted to save Sam from the frog. She thought it was a charming game. + +"Sam, come back, come back, come back! It's just a game. It's fun. Trust me, trust me, trust me!" Mia shouted. + +But Sam did not trust her. He did not think it was fun. He ran to the door and opened it. He saw his mom coming home from work. He ran to her and hugged her. + +"Mom, mom, mom! Mia wants to cut my lung open and take out my frog. Help me, help me, help me!" Sam sobbed. + +His mom looked at him and then at Mia, who was holding the spoon. She was confused and worried. + +"What are you two doing? What frog? What lung? What spoon?" She asked. + +Mia dropped the spoon and smiled innocently. + +"We were just playing, mom. We were pretending to be doctors and nurses. It was a fun game. Right, Sam?" Mia said. + +Sam shook his head. He did not think it was a fun game. He did not want to play with Mia anymore. He wanted to play with his mom. He wanted to play with his real frog, the one he kept in a jar in his room. He hoped Mia did not find it. He hoped she did not try to cut it open. He hoped she did not try to display it. He hoped she would leave him alone. He hoped she would find a new friend. He hoped she would find a new game. He hoped she would find a new lung. +Anna and Ben are playing in the garden. They see many flowers of different colors. Anna likes the red ones and Ben likes the yellow ones. They pick some flowers and make a necklace for their mom. + +"Mom will love this!" Anna says. + +"Yes, she will!" Ben says. + +They run to the house to find their mom. But when they get there, they see that mom is sleeping on the couch. She looks tired and has a blanket on her. + +"Shh, mom is napping. We should not wake her up," Anna whispers. + +"OK, but we want to give her the necklace," Ben whispers. + +They have an idea. They go to the couch and gently cover mom with the flowers. They put some on her head, some on her chest, and some on her feet. They make mom look like a flower too. + +"There, now mom is a flower. She will be happy when she wakes up," Anna says. + +"Yes, and she will be surprised too. She will not see us. We are hidden behind the couch," Ben says. + +They giggle and wait for mom to open her eyes. They hope she will like their gift. They love their mom very much. +Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play outside. One day, they find a big box of crayons. They are happy. They want to draw pictures. + +"Look, Tom, I have a red crayon. I can draw a flower," Sue says. + +"I have a blue crayon. I can draw a car," Tom says. + +They start to draw on the sidewalk. They draw flowers, cars, stars, and hearts. They have fun. + +But then, a big truck comes. It is loud and fast. It drives on the road. It does not see the drawings. It goes over them. It makes them dirty and broken. + +Tom and Sue are sad. They look at their drawings. They are not pretty anymore. They are uncomfortable. + +"Hey, you! Stop!" Tom shouts at the truck. + +But the truck does not stop. It keeps going. It does not care. + +Tom and Sue are angry. They want to make the truck sorry. They have an idea. + +They take the crayons. They run to the road. They spread the crayons on the road. They make a big mess. + +They hope the truck will come back. They hope the truck will slip on the crayons. They hope the truck will get stuck. + +They hide behind a bush. They wait. They smile. They think they are clever. +Lila was sad. She missed her mom, who was at work. She wanted to hug her mom and tell her about her day. She looked at the clock. It was still a long time until mom came home. + +She saw her dad in the living room. He was doing yoga on a mat. He was bending and stretching and breathing. He looked calm and happy. Lila wondered if yoga could make her feel better too. + +She walked over to her dad and said, "Dad, can I do yoga with you?" + +Dad smiled and said, "Of course, Lila. Yoga is good for you. It helps you relax and feel good. Come, I'll show you some easy poses." + +He moved over and made some space for Lila on the mat. He taught her how to do a cat pose, a dog pose, and a tree pose. He praised her for trying and being brave. He said, "You're doing great, Lila. You're a natural yogi." + +Lila felt happy. She liked doing yoga with her dad. She felt her body warm and strong. She felt her breath slow and deep. She felt her mind quiet and peaceful. She forgot about her sadness for a while. + +She hugged her dad and said, "Thank you, dad. You're the best. I love you." + +Dad hugged her back and said, "I love you too, Lila. You're my sunshine. And don't worry, mom will be home soon. She's always available for you. She loves you very much." + +Lila felt comforted. She knew her dad was right. She knew her mom loved her and would be happy to see her. She decided to wait for her mom with a big smile. She was glad she had a wonderful family. +Lily and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big gray chest under a tree. They are curious and want to open it. + +"Maybe there are toys inside," Lily says. + +"Or candy," Ben says. + +They run to the chest and try to lift the lid. But it is too heavy and locked. + +"Who put this here?" Lily asks. + +"Maybe a pirate," Ben says. + +They hear a voice behind them. It is a man with a hat and a coat. He looks angry. + +"Hey, kids, get away from my chest!" he yells. + +Lily and Ben are scared and run away. They find their mom and dad on a bench. + +"Mom, dad, there is a mean man with a gray chest in the park," Lily tells them. + +"He said he is a pirate," Ben tells them. + +Their mom and dad look surprised and worried. They get up and go to see the man and the chest. + +"Who are you and what are you doing here?" their dad asks the man. + +The man looks nervous and tries to hide the chest. + +"I'm just a traveler, and this is my luggage," he says. + +Their mom does not believe him. She sees a sticker on the chest that says "Museum of History". + +"Sir, this is not your luggage. This is a stolen artifact from the museum. We are calling the police," she says. + +The man tries to run away, but their dad stops him. The police come and arrest the man. They thank Lily and Ben for telling them about the chest. + +"You are very brave and smart, kids," the police say. + +Lily and Ben are happy and proud. They hug their mom and dad. + +The end. +Lily liked to collect things. She had a box full of shiny stones, feathers, stickers and buttons. One day, she found something new in the park. It was a long stick with a round thing on top. It looked like a microphone. + +"Wow, what is this?" Lily said. She picked it up and pretended to sing. "La la la, I am a star!" + +She did not see the boy who was looking for his microphone. He had left it hidden behind a tree while he went to get some water. He came back and saw Lily with his microphone. + +"Hey, that's mine!" he said. He ran to Lily and tried to grab it. + +"No, it's mine!" Lily said. She held it tight and ran away. + +The boy chased her across the park. They bumped into other children, dogs and birds. They made a lot of noise. + +"Stop, stop!" a voice said. It was Lily's mom. She had heard the commotion and came to see what was wrong. + +"What are you doing, Lily?" she asked. "Why are you running with that microphone?" + +Lily stopped and looked at her mom. She felt guilty. She knew she had taken something that was not hers. + +"I'm sorry, mom," she said. "I found it and I liked it. I wanted to collect it." + +She gave the microphone back to the boy. He smiled and said thank you. + +"It's okay, Lily," he said. "Do you want to play with me? We can share the microphone and sing together." + +Lily nodded and smiled. She liked to make new friends. She did not need to collect everything. She learned to share and be kind. +One day, a little girl named Mia found an ancient scarf in her grandma's closet. It was very long and had many colors. Mia liked the scarf and wanted to play with it. She wrapped it around her neck and ran around the house. + +She saw a big ball in the living room. It was her brother's ball. He liked to play soccer with it. Mia had an idea. She wanted to roll the ball with the scarf. She tied one end of the scarf to the ball and held the other end in her hand. She ran to the backyard and threw the ball as far as she could. + +The ball flew in the air and landed on the grass. The scarf followed the ball and made a long trail behind it. Mia ran after the ball and the scarf. She felt like she was flying too. She laughed and shouted with joy. + +But then, something bad happened. The scarf got caught on a branch of a tree. The ball stopped rolling and the scarf pulled Mia back. Mia tripped and fell on the ground. She scraped her knee and it hurt. She cried and called for her grandma. + +Her grandma heard her and came to the backyard. She saw Mia on the ground and the scarf on the tree. She ran to Mia and hugged her. She said, "Don't worry, my dear. I'll make it better." She took the scarf from the tree and untied it from the ball. She wrapped the scarf around Mia's knee and kissed it. She said, "This is a magic scarf. It will heal your wound and make you happy." She smiled and took Mia inside. + +Mia felt better and thanked her grandma. She said, "I love you, grandma. And I love your ancient scarf. Can I keep it?" Her grandma said, "Of course, my dear. It's yours now. You can play with it as much as you want. But be careful next time, okay?" Mia nodded and hugged her grandma. She said, "Okay, grandma. I will." She looked at the scarf and smiled. She thought it was the best scarf in the world. +Sam was a big dog who liked to run and play. He had a lot of fur that was brown and soft. He also had a lot of fleas that were small and itchy. They liked to bite and jump on Sam's fur. + +One day, Sam met a new friend. He was a cat who was black and sleek. He had no fur on his ears and tail. He had no fleas on his skin. He said his name was Rex. + +"Hello, Rex," Sam said. "You are a strange cat. Why do you have no fur on your ears and tail?" + +"Hello, Sam," Rex said. "I am not a strange cat. I am a special cat. I have no fur on my ears and tail because I am ancient. I am very old and wise. I have no fleas on my skin because I am clean and smart. I know how to get rid of them." + +"How do you get rid of them?" Sam asked. He was curious and tired of the fleas. + +"I use a magic comb," Rex said. "It is shiny and sharp. It makes the fleas go away. Do you want to try it?" + +"Yes, please," Sam said. He was eager and hopeful. + +Rex took out his magic comb and combed Sam's fur. He made the fleas fall off and run away. Sam felt happy and relieved. He thanked Rex for his help. + +"You are welcome, Sam," Rex said. "You are a good dog. You are my friend. Do you want to play with me?" + +"Yes, I do," Sam said. He wagged his tail and smiled. He had a new friend and no more fleas. He was a lucky dog. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a new path in the park. It is a dirt path with many trees and flowers. Lily is curious. She wants to see where the path goes. + +"Let's go on the new path," Lily says to Ben. "Maybe we can find something fun." + +Ben is not sure. He likes the old path. He knows where it goes. He does not like surprises. + +"I don't know, Lily," Ben says. "The new path looks scary. What if we get lost?" + +Lily smiles. She is not scared. She is brave. She takes Ben's hand. + +"Don't worry, Ben," Lily says. "We can walk together. We can look for signs. We can always go back. It will be an adventure." + +Ben thinks for a moment. He likes Lily. He trusts her. He decides to accept her idea. + +"Okay, Lily," Ben says. "Let's go on the new path. But we have to be careful." + +Lily and Ben walk on the new path. They see many new things. They see a bird's nest, a frog's pond, a butterfly's bush. They hear many new sounds. They hear a squirrel's chatter, a bee's buzz, a stream's splash. They have fun. They are happy. They are curious. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play together. One day, their mom said, "We are going to the store. Do you want to come?" Lily and Ben nodded and put on their shoes. They were excited to see what the store had. + +When they got to the store, they saw many things. There were toys, books, clothes, and snacks. Lily and Ben wanted to look at everything. They ran from one aisle to another, touching and grabbing things. Their mom said, "Please stay close to me and don't make a mess." But Lily and Ben did not listen. They thought the store was incredible and they wanted to have fun. + +Soon, Lily and Ben got lost. They could not see their mom anywhere. They felt scared and lonely. They started to cry. A nice lady who worked at the store saw them and asked, "Are you looking for your mom?" Lily and Ben nodded and sniffed. The lady said, "Don't worry, I will help you find her. Come with me." She took them by the hand and walked with them to the front of the store, where their mom was waiting. + +Their mom was very happy to see them, but also very angry. She said, "Where have you been? I was so worried about you. You should have listened to me and stayed close to me. The store is not a place to run around and make a mess. It is a place to be careful and respectful." Lily and Ben felt sorry and ashamed. They said, "We are sorry, mom. We were having fun and we forgot. We will not do it again." Their mom hugged them and said, "I love you, but you have to learn to follow the rules. Next time, we will not go to the store until you can behave better." Lily and Ben nodded and said, "We love you, mom. We will behave better." + +The moral of the story is: Listen to your mom and follow the rules when you go to the store. The store can be incredible, but it can also be dangerous and messy. You have to be careful and respectful of the things and the people there. +Lily and Sam are twins. They like to play with their toys in the living room. One day, their aunt comes to visit them. She brings a big bag of cookies and a new book. + +"Hello, Lily and Sam!" aunt says. "I have a surprise for you. Do you want to see?" + +"Yes, yes!" Lily and Sam say. They run to aunt and hug her. Aunt smiles and opens her bag. She gives them each a cookie and the book. + +"Thank you, aunt!" Lily and Sam say. They eat the cookie and look at the book. The book has many pictures of animals and their names. + +"Can you read the book to us, aunt?" Lily asks. + +"Of course, I can," aunt says. "Let's sit on the couch and read together." + +Aunt, Lily and Sam sit on the couch. Aunt opens the book and points to the first picture. It is a cat. + +"This is a cat," aunt says. "Can you say cat?" + +"Cat!" Lily and Sam say. + +"Very good," aunt says. She turns the page. The next picture is a dog. + +"This is a dog," aunt says. "Can you say dog?" + +"Dog!" Lily and Sam say. + +"Very good," aunt says. She turns the page. The next picture is a bird. + +"This is a bird," aunt says. "Can you say bird?" + +"Bird!" Lily and Sam say. + +"Very good," aunt says. She turns the page. The next picture is a fish. + +"This is a fish," aunt says. "Can you say fish?" + +"Fish!" Lily and Sam say. + +"Very good," aunt says. She turns the page. The next picture is a lion. + +"This is a lion," aunt says. "Can you say lion?" + +"Lion!" Lily and Sam say. + +"Very good," aunt says. She turns the page. The next picture is a bear. + +"This is a bear," aunt says. "Can you say bear?" + +"Bear!" Lily and Sam say. + +"Very good," aunt says. She turns the page. The next picture is a monkey. + +"This is a monkey," aunt says. "Can you say monkey?" + +"Monkey!" Lily and Sam say. + +"Very good," aunt says. She turns the page. The next picture is a elephant. + +"This is a elephant," aunt says. "Can you say elephant?" + +"Elephant!" Lily and Sam say. + +"Very good," aunt says. She turns the page. The next picture is a giraffe. + +"This is a giraffe," aunt says. "Can you say giraffe?" + +"Giraffe!" Lily and Sam say. + +"Very good," aunt says. She turns the page. The last picture is a zebra. + +"This is a zebra," aunt says. "Can you say zebra?" + +"Zebra!" Lily and Sam say. + +"Very good," aunt says. She closes the book and hugs them. "You are very smart and good at saying words. I am proud of you." + +Lily and Sam hug aunt back. They are happy and grateful. They learned many new words and had fun with aunt. They think aunt is very helpful and kind. They love aunt very much. +Sara and Ben were twins who liked to play together. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big castle with knights and dragons. They made up stories about the castle and acted them out with their toys. + +One day, their parent said they had a surprise for them. They told them to close their eyes and follow them to the living room. Sara and Ben were curious and excited. They held hands and walked with their parent. + +When they opened their eyes, they saw a huge box with a bow on it. Their parent said, "This is for you, my loves. Happy birthday!" Sara and Ben gasped. They ran to the box and tore off the paper. Inside was a new castle, bigger and more impressive than their old one. It had lights and sounds and many more details. + +Sara and Ben hugged their parent and thanked them. They were so happy. They started to set up their new castle on the floor. They put their old toys inside and added some new ones that came with the castle. They made new stories and had more fun. + +As they played, they whispered to each other, "This is the best birthday ever. We have the best parent ever. We love our new castle. Don't you?" They nodded and smiled. They played until it was time for bed. They kissed their parent goodnight and went to their room. They dreamed of knights and dragons and castles. +Anna and Ben went to the zoo with their mom. They saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and birds. They liked the animals, but they wanted to see the crocodiles. Mom said they had to walk a lot to get to the crocodiles. + +They walked and walked, and finally they saw a big sign that said "Crocodile Pond". They ran to the fence and looked at the water. They saw some green things that looked like logs. Mom said those were the crocodiles. Anna and Ben were not impressed. They wanted to see the crocodiles move and open their mouths. + +"Mom, can we feed the crocodiles?" Anna asked. + +"No, sweetie, that's not allowed. The crocodiles are not hungry. They eat only sometimes," Mom said. + +"But they are so boring! They don't do anything!" Ben said. + +"Maybe they are sleeping. Crocodiles sleep a lot. They are very lazy," Mom said. + +Anna and Ben were not happy. They wanted to see something fun. They saw a man with a cart that had toys and balloons. They ran to the cart and asked Mom to buy them something. + +"Mom, can we have a toy crocodile? It looks more fun than the real ones," Anna said. + +"Mom, can we have a balloon? It is so colorful and big," Ben said. + +Mom looked at the cart and saw the prices. The toy crocodiles and the balloons were very cheap. They were only one dollar each. Mom thought they were not very good quality. They might break or pop soon. But she saw that Anna and Ben really wanted them. She decided to accept their wishes and buy them the cheap toys. + +"Okay, okay, you can have one toy crocodile and one balloon. But you have to be careful with them. They are not very strong," Mom said. + +"Yay! Thank you, Mom!" Anna and Ben said. They took their toys and hugged Mom. They were very happy. + +They played with their toys and forgot about the real crocodiles. They made the toy crocodile move and open its mouth. They made the balloon fly and bounce. They had a lot of fun. + +Mom smiled and watched them. She was glad they were happy. She thought the cheap toys were worth it. She hoped the real crocodiles would not be jealous. +Sara and Ben are playing in the park. They like to run and catch each other. Sara is faster than Ben, but Ben is smarter. He knows how to hide and surprise Sara. + +One day, they see a big slide in the park. Sara wants to try it, but Ben is scared. He thinks it is too high and too fast. Sara says, "Don't be scared, Ben. It is fun. I will go first and show you." + +Sara climbs up the ladder and sits on the slide. She smiles at Ben and says, "Ready, set, go!" She pushes herself down the slide. She feels the wind in her hair and the sun on her face. She is happy. + +But then, she sees something at the end of the slide. It is a big dog. It is barking and jumping. It wants to catch Sara. Sara is scared. She screams, "Help, Ben, help!" + +Ben hears Sara and runs to the slide. He sees the dog and the sight makes him brave. He picks up a stick and waves it at the dog. He shouts, "Go away, dog, go away!" + +The dog is scared of Ben and the stick. It runs away. Sara slides down and hugs Ben. She says, "Thank you, Ben, thank you. You saved me. You are not scared. You are brave." + +Ben smiles and says, "You are welcome, Sara, you are welcome. You are brave too. You tried the slide. Maybe I will try it too. But first, let's play catch." They run and catch each other. They are happy. +Anna and Ben are playing in the park. They like to run and slide and swing. They see a big tree with many leaves. They want to climb the tree and see the birds. + +"Wait, Anna, wait!" Ben says. "I see a shadow on the ground. It looks like a big dog. Maybe it is not friendly. Maybe it will bite us." + +Anna looks at the shadow. She is not afraid. She thinks it is just a small dog. She wants to pet it and give it a hug. + +"No, Ben, no!" Anna says. "It is not a big dog. It is a small dog. It is cute and soft. It will not bite us. It will be our friend." + +Anna runs to the shadow. Ben runs after her. He wants to warn her and keep her safe. But when they get closer, they see that the shadow is not a dog at all. It is a bear. A big, brown, angry bear. It growls and shows its teeth. + +"Run, Anna, run!" Ben shouts. "It is a bear! It is not cute and soft. It is big and scary. It will hurt us. We have to go back to the park." + +Anna and Ben turn around and run as fast as they can. They hear the bear behind them. They are very scared. They hope they can make it to the park. They hope they can find their mom and dad. + +They reach the park. They see their mom and dad. They run to them and hug them. They tell them about the bear. Their mom and dad are shocked. They are glad that Anna and Ben are safe. They tell them to never go near the woods again. They tell them to always listen to each other and warn each other of danger. + +Anna and Ben nod. They are sorry. They learned their lesson. They will not chase shadows again. They will stay in the park and play with their toys. They will be safe and happy. +Ben and Lily like to go to the store with Mom. The store has many things to see and touch. Ben likes to look at the cars and trucks. Lily likes to look at the dolls and books. + +One day, Mom tells Ben and Lily that they can each pick one thing to buy. Ben and Lily are happy. They run to their favorite things. Ben finds a cool truck that makes noise and has lights. Lily finds a cool doll that talks and has a dress. + +Ben and Lily show Mom what they want. Mom smiles and says they are good choices. She tells them to wait for her at the counter. She goes to pay for the things. + +Ben and Lily are excited. They want to play with their new things. They tell each other how cool they are. They say thank you to Mom. Mom says they are welcome. She tells them to hold her hand as they leave the store. + +Ben and Lily hold Mom's hand. They walk to the car. They are happy. They have cool things from the store. They can't wait to get home and play. They tell Mom they love her. Mom says she loves them too. They are a happy family. +Lily and Ben are playing with paint. They have many colors: red, blue, yellow, green, and more. They use brushes and fingers to make pictures on paper. They are having fun. + +Lily sees a pink paint. She likes pink. She dips her brush in the paint and makes a flower. She smiles. She wonders how the paint tastes. She puts the brush in her mouth. + +"Yuck!" Lily says. She spits out the paint. It tastes bad. It is not sweet like candy. It is bitter and sour. She makes a face. + +Ben hears Lily. He looks at her. He sees the paint on her mouth. He laughs. + +"Lily, paint is not for eating!" Ben says. "Paint is for painting. It makes things look pretty. But it does not taste good. It can make you sick. You should only taste food and drink." + +Lily nods. She feels silly. She wipes her mouth with a napkin. She says sorry to Ben. She does not want to taste paint again. She wants to taste something yummy. + +"Can we have a snack?" Lily asks Ben. "I am hungry. And I want to taste something smooth and sweet. Like yogurt or ice cream." + +Ben agrees. He is hungry too. He likes smooth and sweet things. He puts away the paint and the brushes. He helps Lily clean the table. They wash their hands. They go to the kitchen. They find yogurt and ice cream in the fridge. They choose their favorite flavors. They sit on the floor and eat. They taste the smooth and sweet snack. They are happy. +Jill liked to play with her ball in the garden. She would throw it high and catch it. She would bounce it hard and spring after it. She would roll it to her dog and watch him chase it. She was happy with her ball. + +One day, her mom called her for a snack. She had made some cream and jam for her bread. Jill loved cream and jam. She ran to the kitchen and left her ball in the garden. She did not think anyone would take it. + +But Tom, the boy next door, saw the ball. He wanted it for himself. He was not nice. He did not ask Jill if he could play with it. He just jumped over the fence and grabbed it. He ran away with it to his house. He did not care if Jill would be sad. + +When Jill finished her snack, she went back to the garden. She looked for her ball. She could not find it. She was anxious. She asked her mom if she had seen it. Her mom said no. She asked her dog if he had seen it. He barked no. She looked everywhere. She could not find it. She was very sad. + +She cried and cried. She wished she had taken her ball with her. She learned a hard lesson. She learned that she should not leave her things alone. She learned that some people are not nice. She learned that she should be careful with her ball. She hoped that Tom would give it back. But he did not. He kept it for himself. He was mean. Jill never saw her ball again. The end. +Ben and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. They run, jump, slide and swing. They have fun. + +One day, they see a man with a big mustache. The man is sitting on a bench. He is reading a book. Ben and Sam are curious. They want to touch the mustache. + +They sneak up to the man. They reach out their hands. They pull the mustache. The man yelps. He drops his book. He looks angry. + +"Ow! What are you doing?" he asks. "That hurts!" + +Ben and Sam are scared. They run away. They hide behind a tree. + +They feel bad. They know they did something wrong. They hurt the man. They are sorry. + +They come out from behind the tree. They walk up to the man. They say sorry. + +The man is still angry. But he sees their faces. They look sad. He softens. + +He says, "It's okay. I forgive you. But you should not pull people's mustaches. They are not toys. They are part of their faces. How would you like it if someone pulled your hair?" + +Ben and Sam nod. They understand. They say, "We would not like it. It would hurt. We are sorry. We will not do it again." + +The man smiles. He says, "Good. I'm glad you learned your lesson. Do you want to see my book? It has pictures of animals. Maybe you can learn their names." + +Ben and Sam smile. They say, "Yes, please. We like animals. Thank you." + +They sit with the man. They look at his book. They learn new words. They have fun. + +The moral of the story is: Do not hurt others. Be respectful. Be sorry when you make a mistake. Be friendly. You can learn from others. +Lily and Tom were playing with their toys in the garden. They had a lot of fun making noises and pretending to be animals. But then they saw a big well in the corner of the garden. They were curious and wanted to look inside. + +"Come on, let's go see the well!" Tom said to Lily. + +"OK, but be careful, it might be deep and dirty," Lily said. + +They ran to the well and looked over the edge. They saw some water at the bottom, but it was dark and murky. They also saw some stones and sticks and leaves floating on the water. + +"Wow, look at the water, it's so dirty!" Tom said. + +"Maybe we can clean it, let's throw some more stones and sticks and leaves in it," Lily said. + +They started to pick up some things from the ground and toss them into the well. They heard a splash every time they threw something. They thought they were helping the water, but they were actually making it dirtier. + +"Stop, stop, what are you doing?" a voice shouted from behind them. + +They turned around and saw their mom standing there. She looked angry and worried. + +"You are not supposed to play near the well, it's dangerous and dirty. And you are making it worse by throwing things in it. You need to separate the water from the dirt, not mix them together. Come here, right now!" she said. + +Lily and Tom felt scared and sorry. They dropped their toys and ran to their mom. She hugged them and told them to never go near the well again. She also told them to wash their hands and faces, because they were dirty too. They nodded and said they were sorry. They learned their lesson and never played near the well again. +Tim and Jen are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a cricket on the grass. Tim wants to catch the cricket. He runs after it. Jen says, "Stop, Tim! Be polite. The cricket does not want to be caught. It wants to be free." + +Tim does not listen. He tries to grab the cricket. But the cricket is fast. It jumps away. Tim follows it. He does not see the big rock in front of him. He trips and falls. He hurts his knee. He cries. + +Jen runs to him. She helps him get up. She says, "I'm sorry, Tim. Are you okay?" Tim says, "No, I'm not okay. My knee hurts. And I did not catch the cricket." Jen says, "Maybe you should have been polite. The cricket might have stayed with you. It might have been your friend." + +Tim thinks. He says, "You're right, Jen. I was not polite. I was rude. I'm sorry, cricket. Can you forgive me?" He looks for the cricket. He sees it on a flower. The cricket chirps. It sounds like it is saying yes. + +Tim smiles. He says, "Thank you, cricket. You are very kind. Do you want to play with us?" The cricket nods. It jumps on Tim's hand. Tim and Jen are happy. They play with the cricket. They are polite. They are friends. +Lily likes to walk with her mom and dad. They walk to the park, to the store, to the library. Lily likes to see the trees, the cars, the books. She likes to walk fast and slow, and sometimes hop and skip. + +One day, Lily feels a pain in her head. She does not like it.

He says she has a boo-boo in her brain. + +Lily is scared. She does not want a boo-boo in her brain. The doctor says he can help her. He says he can make the boo-boo go away with a special surgery.

One day, they find a big box of wires and plugs in the garage. They wonder what they are for. + +"Maybe we can make a network," Tom says. "A network is when things are connected and talk to each other." + +"How do we do that?" Lily asks. + +Tom picks up a wire and a plug. He tries to fit them into a car. But the plug is too big and the wire is too stiff. He cannot make them fit. + +"Maybe we need something else," Lily suggests. "Something gentle and bendy." + +She looks around and sees a ball of yarn. She takes it and unravels some of it. She ties one end to a car and the other end to a block. She makes a gentle and bendy connection. + +"Look, I made a network!" she says proudly. + +Tom smiles and takes another ball of yarn. He ties it to another car and another block. He makes another connection. + +"Me too!" he says happily. + +They keep making connections with yarn and blocks and cars. They make a big network that fills the garage. They pretend that the cars and blocks are talking to each other. They have fun with their network. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play at the park. They see a big slide. They want to go on the slide. + +"Can you carry me?" Lily asks Ben. She is too small to climb the ladder. + +"OK, I can carry you," Ben says. He is big and strong. He picks up Lily and puts her on his back. He climbs the ladder with Lily. + +They reach the top of the slide. Lily is excited. She sees the grass and the trees and the sky. She smiles. + +"Ready?" Ben asks. + +"Ready!" Lily says. + +They slide down the slide. They go fast and feel the wind. They laugh and shout. They land on the ground. They are glad. They hug each other. + +"That was fun!" Lily says. + +"Let's do it again!" Ben says. + +They run back to the ladder. They carry and slide and laugh. They are happy. They are friends. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to eat grapes. One day, they saw a big bowl of grapes on the table. They wanted to take some, but their mom said no. She said they had to eat lunch first. + +But Tom and Lily did not want to wait. They waited until their mom went to the kitchen, and then they ran to the table. They grabbed some grapes and put them in their pockets. They were very happy. + +But their mom saw them. She was angry. She said they had to give back the grapes and go to their room. She chased them around the house. + +Tom and Lily tried to escape. They ran up the stairs, down the hall, and into their room. They locked the door. They thought they were safe. + +But they were wrong. Their mom had a key. She opened the door and came in. She saw the grapes in their pockets. She said they had to eat them all, right now. + +Tom and Lily did not like that. The grapes were hard and sour. They made their mouths hurt. They wished they had listened to their mom. They learned their lesson. They said they were sorry and hugged their mom. She forgave them and gave them a kiss. She said they could have some sweet grapes after lunch. Tom and Lily smiled. They liked sweet grapes. They liked their mom. They were happy. +Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play in the sand near the sea. They make castles and tunnels and dig holes. Sometimes they find shells and crabs and fish. + +One day, they see a big boat on the water. It has a net and a hook. They wonder what it is doing. They hear a loud splash and a scream. They look and see a big shark in the net. The shark is angry and tries to get out. It has sharp teeth and a fin. + +"Wow, look at that shark!" Tim says. "It is so big and scary!" + +"Maybe the boat wants to eat the shark," Sam says. "Do you think it is yummy?" + +"No, I don't think so," Tim says. "The shark is cold and wet and salty. I like warm and soft and sweet things to eat. Like cake and ice cream and cookies." + +"Me too," Sam says. "Let's go back to mom and dad. Maybe they have some snacks for us." + +They run back to their parents, who are sitting on a blanket. They tell them about the shark and the boat. Their parents hug them and give them some juice and crackers. They are happy and safe. They do not want to eat the shark. They do not want the shark to eat them. They just want to play and have fun. +Ben and Jen are twins. They like to play together. They have a big dog named Spot. Spot is reliable.

They wonder if they are bad twins. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play outside. They had a big yard with a swing, a slide and a ball. They also had a dog named Spot who liked to run and jump with them. They were happy children who had a lot of fun. + +One day, their mom had to go to the store and asked them to stay inside. She said, "Don't touch the stove, it is very hot. And don't open the door, it is not safe. I will be back soon." She gave them a kiss and left. + +Ben and Lily were bored inside. They did not want to watch TV or read books. They wanted to play outside. They looked at the stove and saw a shiny pot. They wondered what was inside. They decided to touch it and see. + +They climbed on a chair and reached for the pot. But the pot was very hot and heavy. It slipped from their hands and fell on the floor.

He was hungry and licked it. But the soup was very hot and spicy. It hurt his tongue and mouth. He barked and whined. + +Their mom heard the noise and came back. She saw the mess and the pain. She was very angry and sad. She said, "What have you done? You are very naughty and foolish. You could have been hurt badly. And you wasted the soup. It was for our dinner. We are not rich, we have to be careful. Now we have nothing to eat and no money to buy more. You are in big trouble." She took them to the bathroom and cleaned their wounds. She called the doctor and the vet. She did not hug them or smile. They were very sorry and ashamed. They wished they had listened to their mom. They learned a hard lesson. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with dolls and cars. One day, they find a pin on the floor. It is shiny and pointy. + +"Look, a pin!" Lily says. "I want it for my doll's dress." + +"No, I want it for my car's wheel," Ben says. "It is mine." + +They both grab the pin and pull. The pin hurts their fingers. They cry. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Lily and Ben say. + +Mom hears them and comes. She sees the pin and takes it away. + +"Pin is not a toy," Mom says. "Pin is sharp and can make you bleed. You have to be careful with pin." + +She puts a band-aid on Lily's and Ben's fingers. She hugs them and kisses them. + +"I'm sorry, Mom," Lily and Ben say. "We were not careful. We were silly." + +Mom smiles. "It's okay, my loves. You are lucky it was not worse. Next time, share and play nice." + +Lily and Ben nod. They say sorry to each other. They hug and make up. + +"Can we play with something else?" Lily asks. + +"Sure," Ben says. "How about blocks?" + +They go to the toy box and find some blocks. They build a castle and a bridge.

Tom asks. + +Mom looks at the bird and nods. "Yes, Tom, we can help it. But we have to be very gentle and careful. The bird is scared and in pain. We need to bring it to the vet. The vet is a person who helps animals." + +Tom nods and smiles. He likes the vet. He goes to the vet with Spot sometimes. He asks his mom, "Can I bring the bird to the vet, Mom? Please?" + +Mom smiles and says, "Yes, Tom, you can bring the bird to the vet. But you have to hold it very gently and softly. Do not squeeze it or drop it. And you have to watch out for Spot. Spot might want to play with the bird, but he cannot. The bird is not a toy. It is a living thing." + +Tom says, "OK, Mom, I understand. I will be gentle and careful. And I will tell Spot to stay away from the bird. Come on, Spot, let's go to the vet with Mom and the bird." + +Tom picks up the bird gently and softly. He holds it close to his chest.

They had a flashlight to help them see. + +The house was very big and had many rooms. Sam and Mia saw many things that they had never seen before. There were shiny things, soft things, and colorful things. They thought the people who lived there were very wealthy and had everything they wanted. + +They decided to explore more and went to the basement. There, they saw a door with a sign that said "Do not enter". They were curious and opened the door. Inside, they saw a big machine with wires and buttons.

The light was very hot and hurt their eyes. They tried to run away, but the door was locked. They screamed for help, but no one heard them. + +The machine was a bomb that the wealthy people had hidden in their house. They were bad people who wanted to hurt others. Sam and Mia did not know that. They only wanted to have fun. But they made a big mistake and the bomb exploded. Sam and Mia were gone. +Anna and Ben are playing with their toys in the living room.

But today they found something different. + +"Look, Ben, look!" Lila shouted. She held up a shiny thing in her hand. It was round and blue and sparkled in the sun. "What is it?" + +Ben ran over to see. He took the shiny thing from Lila and felt it. It was hard and heavy. He rubbed it on his shirt and it glowed more. "Wow, Lila, this is a gem!" he said. "A gem is a very pretty stone. Maybe it is magic!" + +Lila and Ben were very happy. They had never seen a gem before. They wondered where it came from and what it could do. They decided to keep it and show it to their mom and dad. They put it in their pocket and ran to the swings. + +"Can I see the gem again?" Lila asked Ben. + +"Sure, here you go," Ben said. He took out the gem and gave it to Lila. But as soon as he did, a big bird swooped down from the sky. It had a long beak and sharp claws. It grabbed the gem from Lila's hand and flew away. + +"Hey, give it back!" Ben yelled. He and Lila chased the bird, but it was too fast. It disappeared behind the trees with the gem. + +Lila and Ben were very sad. They had lost their gem. They sat on the bench and cried. They wished they had their gem back. They wondered if they would ever find another one. They hugged each other and said they were sorry. They still had each other, and that was more important than a gem. +Ben and Mia went on a safari with Mom and Dad. They saw many animals, like lions, zebras, and giraffes. Ben and Mia liked the giraffes best. They were very tall and had long necks and spots. + +"Look, Mom, look!" Ben said. "That giraffe is bowing to us!" + +Mom smiled and said, "Yes, Ben, it is. Maybe it is saying hello. Can you bow back to the giraffe?" + +Ben nodded and bowed to the giraffe. The giraffe bowed again. Ben and Mia laughed. + +"Can I feed the giraffe, Dad?" Mia asked. + +Dad said, "Sure, Mia, you can. Here, take this leaf. It is the giraffe's favorite food. Hold it in your hand and reach up high." + +Mia took the leaf and held it in her hand.

They had a lot of fun on the safari. +Tom and Lily liked to play hide and seek in the big park. There were many trees and bushes and benches to hide behind. One day, they saw a new place to hide. It was a big building with a tall tower and a cross on top. It was a church. + +"Let's hide in there!" Tom said. "No one will find us!" + +Lily was not sure. She had heard that the church was a special place where people prayed and sang. She did not know if they could play there. + +"Are you scared?" Tom teased. "Come on, it will be fun!" + +Tom ran to the door and opened it. Lily followed him, feeling guilty. She hoped no one would see them. + +Inside, the church was dark and quiet. There were many seats and a big altar and a big window with many colors. Tom and Lily saw a big organ with many pipes and keys. + +"Wow, look at that!" Tom said. "I wonder what it sounds like!" + +He climbed on the stool and started to press the keys. The organ made loud and strange noises. Lily covered her ears. + +"Stop it, Tom!" she whispered. "You are making too much noise! Someone will hear us!" + +But Tom did not stop. He pressed more keys and pulled more levers. The organ made louder and louder noises. Lily was scared. + +Suddenly, they heard a voice. + +"Who is there?" the voice said. "What are you doing?" + +Tom and Lily turned around and saw a man in a black robe. He was the priest. He looked angry. + +Tom and Lily jumped off the stool and ran to the door. They did not say sorry. They did not look back. They ran out of the church and back to the park. + +They felt very guilty.

"What are you doing here? This is my workroom. I make the stuffed animals for the museum." + +Lily and Tom are sorry. They did not mean to bother the man. They tell him their names and that they are on a tour. They say they were bored and wanted to see something else. + +The man is not angry. He is nice. He smiles and says, "I see. Well, you have met me and my animals. I am Mr. Fox. I am a taxidermist. That means I make the animals look like they are alive, but they are not. Do you want to know how I do it?" + +Lily and Tom are interested. They nod and say yes. They forget they are scared. They want to learn something new. They stay with Mr. Fox and listen to him. He tells them about his job and shows them his tools and materials. He lets them touch some of the animals and ask questions. + +Lily and Tom are happy. They have met a new person and learned something new. They think the tour is not boring anymore. They thank Mr. Fox and go back to their class.

He will be angry if we touch it." + +But Ben does not listen. He is careless. He opens the door and climbs into the car. He puts his hands on the steering wheel and his feet on the pedals.

We can tie it to a tree and go down," Anna says. + +She takes out a rope from her bag and ties it to a tree. She gives the other end to Ben. + +"Here, hold this. I will go first," she says. + +She climbs down the rope. She sees some bones and fur in the hole. She is scared. + +"Ben, Ben, there are bones and fur here. It is scary. Pull me up, pull me up," she cries. + +Ben hears her. He wants to help her. But he also wants to tease her. He thinks it is funny. + +"Ha ha, Anna, you are scared. You are a baby. I will not pull you up. You stay there," he says. + +He laughs and lets go of the rope. Anna falls back into the hole. She is angry and sad. + +"Ben, Ben, that is not nice. That is mean. You are a bad friend. Help me, help me," she shouts. + +But Ben does not hear her. He runs away. He thinks he is smart. + +He does not see the man with a big net. The man is the owner of the trap. He is looking for animals. He sees Ben running. He thinks he is an animal. He throws the net over Ben. He catches him. + +"Gotcha, you little critter. You are going into my cage," he says. + +Ben is scared. He is trapped. He cries. + +"Help, help, let me go. I am not an animal. I am a boy. Help, help," he screams. + +But no one hears him. The man takes him away. + +Anna hears him. She feels sorry for him. She wishes she could help him. She wishes he was her friend again. She waits for someone to find her. She hopes it is soon. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They saw a big tunnel under a bridge. They wanted to go inside and explore. + +"Let's go in the tunnel!" Tom said. "Maybe we can find treasure or monsters!" + +Lily was scared. She did not like dark places. She heard strange noises from the tunnel. She heard cars and trains and wind and water. + +"I don't want to go in the tunnel," Lily said. "It is too dark and noisy. I want to stay here and play with the flowers and the birds." + +Tom was ignorant. He did not listen to Lily. He did not care about her feelings. He thought she was silly and boring. + +"You are a baby," Tom said. "You are afraid of everything. I am going in the tunnel. You can stay here and cry." + +Tom ran into the tunnel. He did not look back. He did not see Lily's sad face. He did not hear Lily's voice. + +"Lily, come back!" Lily shouted. "Don't leave me alone!" + +But Tom did not hear her. He was too far away. He was in the tunnel. He was in the dark. He was in trouble. +Tom and Lily are playing with blocks. They like to make different shapes with the blocks. Tom makes a square with four blocks. Lily makes a triangle with three blocks. + +"Look, I made a square!" Tom says. "It has four sides and four corners." + +"Wow, that's a good square!" Lily says. "I made a triangle. It has three sides and three corners." + +They show each other their shapes and smile. They are proud of their shapes. + +Then they see a big box in the corner. It is a new toy that Mom and Dad bought for them. They run to the box and open it. Inside, there are many more blocks of different colors and sizes. + +"Wow, look at all these blocks!" Tom says. "We can make more shapes with them!" + +"Yes, let's make more shapes!" Lily says. "Maybe we can make a circle or a star or a heart!" + +They take out the blocks and start to make more shapes. They have fun with the new blocks. They realize that there are many shapes in the world. They are ready to learn more about them. +Sara and her brother Tom liked to play with glow sticks. They would bend them and shake them and make them glow in the dark. They would pretend they were swords or wands or snakes. + +One night, Sara and Tom got two glow sticks each from their mom. Sara got a pink one and a blue one. Tom got a green one and a yellow one. They ran to their room and turned off the light. + +"Look, my glow sticks are so pretty!" Sara said. She waved them in the air and made shapes. + +"Mine are better!" Tom said. He swung them like swords and hit Sara's glow sticks. + +"Hey, stop that!" Sara said. She did not like Tom hitting her glow sticks. She tried to hit him back. + +"No, you stop that!" Tom said. He did not like Sara hitting his glow sticks. He tried to dodge her. + +They hit and dodged and hit and dodged until they heard a loud snap. One of Tom's glow sticks broke in half and spilled liquid on the floor. + +"Uh-oh," Tom said. He saw the liquid glow on the floor. He knew it was bad. + +"Uh-oh," Sara said. She saw the liquid glow on the floor. She knew it was bad. + +They heard their mom coming to their room. They knew they were in trouble. + +"Tom, Sara, what did you do?" their mom said. She saw the liquid glow on the floor. She was not happy. + +"Sorry, mom," Tom and Sara said. They looked at each other and felt sorry. They did not want to fight anymore. They wanted to hug and share their glow sticks. +Tom and Sue like to play with their toy boat. They take it to the pond and sail it on the water. They take turns to hold the string and make the boat go fast or slow. + +One day, a big duck swims near their boat. The duck is curious and wants to see the boat. It pecks at the string and breaks it. The boat drifts away from Tom and Sue. + +"Oh no!" Tom says. "Our boat is gone!" + +"Quack, quack!" the duck says. It does not understand. + +Tom and Sue are sad. They run along the pond and try to catch the boat. But the boat is too far and the wind is too strong. + +They see a man on the other side of the pond. He has a big hat and a fishing rod. He sees the boat and smiles. He reels in his rod and hooks the boat. He pulls it to the shore. + +"Hey, kids!" he calls. "Is this your boat?" + +"Yes, yes!" Tom and Sue say. They run to the man and hug him. + +"Thank you, thank you!" they say. "You saved our boat!" + +"You're welcome, you're welcome!" the man says. He gives them the boat and the string. "Be careful with your boat. It's a nice one." + +Tom and Sue are very grateful. They thank the man again and wave goodbye. They go back to their side of the pond and sail their boat again. They are happy and careful. + +The duck watches them and quacks. It does not understand. It swims away and looks for something else to peck. +Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They saw a big tree with pink flowers. Lily wanted to pick one for her mom. + +"Can I have a flower, Tom?" Lily asked. + +"OK, but be careful. The flowers are delicate. They can break easily," Tom said. + +Lily nodded and walked to the tree. She reached for a flower with her finger. But the flower was too high. She jumped and jumped, but she could not touch it. + +"Wait, I have an idea," Tom said. He ran to the shed and came back with a stick. "Here, use this. It will help you get the flower." + +Lily took the stick and smiled. She held it in her hand and tried to poke the flower. But the stick was too short. She still could not reach the flower. + +"Let me help you," Tom said. He stood behind Lily and lifted her up. He held her by her waist and gave her a spring. Lily felt herself go up in the air. She was so happy. She stretched her finger and touched the flower. She pulled it gently and broke it off the branch. + +"Yay, I got it!" Lily shouted. She looked at the flower in her hand. It was pink and soft and smelled nice. She thanked Tom and gave him a hug. Then she ran to her mom and gave her the flower. + +"Look, mom, I got you a flower. It is delicate and pretty, like you," Lily said. + +Mom smiled and kissed Lily. She took the flower and put it in her hair. She thanked Lily and Tom for the lovely gift. She told them they were very clever and kind. Lily and Tom felt proud and happy. They went back to the garden and played some more. +Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play with blocks and cars. One day, they find a big red ball in the park. They both want to play with it. + +"Let me have the ball!" Tom says. + +"No, it is mine!" Anna says. + +They pull the ball from each other. The ball is not strong. It splits in two. Tom and Anna are sad. They have no ball to play with. + +"I am sorry, Tom. I did not want to split the ball." Anna says. + +"I am sorry, too, Anna. I was not nice to you." Tom says. + +They hug each other. They are friends again. They look for something else to play with. They find a quiet spot under a tree. They make a house with sticks and leaves. They are happy. They share their toys and stories. They have fun. +Jen and Sam liked to play in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run. But one day, the sky was dark and gray. It looked like rain. + +"Can we go to the park, Mom?" Jen asked. + +"No, you can't. It is going to rain soon. You have to stay inside," Mom said. + +"But we want to play, Mom. Please, please, please," Sam begged. + +"I'm sorry, but I can't permit you to go. It is not safe. You can play with your toys or read a book," Mom said. + +Jen and Sam were sad and angry. They did not want to play with their toys or read a book. They wanted to go to the park. They did not like the dark and gray sky. + +They went to their room and pouted. They did not talk to Mom or each other. They waited for the rain to stop. + +After a while, they heard a sound. It was a bird. It was singing outside their window. They looked out and saw a rainbow. The sky was not dark and gray anymore. It was bright and colorful. + +"Look, Sam, a rainbow!" Jen said. + +"Wow, it is so pretty, Jen!" Sam said. + +They smiled and hugged. They felt happy again. + +"Can we go to the park now, Mom?" Jen asked. + +"Yes, you can. The rain is over. But you have to wear your jackets and boots. It is still wet outside," Mom said. + +"Okay, Mom. Thank you, Mom," Jen and Sam said. + +They put on their jackets and boots and ran to the park. They swung, slid and ran. They had fun. They did not mind the wet grass or the puddles. They liked the rainbow. They liked the park. They liked Mom. +Anna loves books. She likes to look at the pictures and hear the stories. She wants to learn more words and be clever. Every week, she goes to the library with her mom. The library has many books for children and grown-ups. + +One day, Anna sees a big book on a high shelf. It has a shiny cover and a funny name. She wants to see what is inside. She asks her mom to help her get the book. Her mom says, "That book is too hard for you, Anna. It has many big words and no pictures. You can choose another book." + +But Anna is curious. She waits until her mom is busy with another book. She finds a chair and climbs on it. She reaches for the big book. She pulls it down. It is heavy and falls on the floor. It makes a loud noise. Everyone in the library looks at Anna. + +Anna feels scared. She thinks she is in trouble. She picks up the book and opens it. She sees many words she does not know. She does not understand anything. She feels sad. She wishes she had listened to her mom. + +Her mom comes to her and hugs her. She says, "It's okay, Anna. You are not in trouble. You are clever and brave to try a new book. But you are also young and need to learn more. There are many books in the library that are just right for you. Let's find one together." + +Anna smiles. She says, "I'm sorry, mom. I wanted to see the big book. But I like the small books better. They have pictures and stories. They help me learn new words. Can we read one now?" + +Her mom says, "Of course, Anna. Let's go to the children's section. There are many books there that you will love. And maybe one day, when you are older, you can read the big book too." + +They walk to the children's section. They find a book with a colorful cover and a funny name. They sit on a couch and read it together. Anna is happy. She loves the library. She loves books. She loves her mom. +Sara and Tom were playing in the park. They saw a big fire in a house. They ran to see what happened. They saw many people and firemen. They saw smoke and ash. + +"Look, Sara, the house is broken," Tom said. + +"Yes, Tom, it is very sad. I hope no one is hurt," Sara said. + +They saw a fireman come out of the house. He had a cat in his arms. The cat was black and white, but now it was gray and dirty. The fireman gave the cat to a lady. The lady was crying. + +"Thank you, thank you, you saved my cat. He is the only thing I have left," the lady said. + +The fireman smiled. He said, "You're welcome, ma'am. I'm sorry about your house. We will try to restore it as much as we can." + +Sara and Tom felt sorry for the lady and the cat. They wanted to help. They went to the fireman and asked, "Can we do something to help?" + +The fireman looked at them and said, "You are very kind, kids. But this is a dangerous place. You should stay away from the fire and the ash. You can help by being good and safe." + +Sara and Tom nodded. They said, "OK, we will. Thank you for saving the cat and the house." + +They went back to the park. They saw a bench with some flowers and a card. The card said, "To the unknown lady and her cat. We hope you are OK. From Sara and Tom." + +They smiled and left the flowers and the card on the bench. They hoped the lady and the cat would see them and feel better. They went home and told their mom and dad what they saw and did. Their mom and dad hugged them and said, "We are very proud of you. You are very brave and caring." +Lily and Ben like to play with cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They make roads and bridges with blocks and books. They zoom their cars on the roads and make loud noises. + +One day, they have a race. They each pick a car and line them up at the start. Lily has a red car and Ben has a blue car. They count to three and then zoom their cars as fast as they can. + +"Zoom, zoom, zoom!" they shout as they push their cars along the road. They go around the blocks and over the books. They are having fun. + +But then, Ben's car hits a book and flips over. Ben's car is hurt. It has a dent and a scratch. Ben is sad. He stops zooming and picks up his car. + +"Look, Lily, my car is hurt!" he says, showing her his car. "It was a bad book. It made my car fall." + +Lily stops zooming too. She looks at Ben's car and sees the dent and the scratch. She feels sorry for Ben. She likes Ben. He is her friend. + +"I'm sorry, Ben," she says. "Your car is hurt. But it is still a good car. It can still zoom. Do you want to play with my car? It is red. You can have it." + +Ben smiles. He likes Lily. She is his friend. He likes her car. It is red. He takes her car and gives her his car. + +"Thank you, Lily," he says. "Your car is nice. It is red. You can have my car. It is blue. It can still zoom too." + +They hug and then zoom their cars again. They are happy. They are friends. They like to play with cars. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play together. One day, Tom gets a letter in the mail. It is from his grandma. She sends him a sticker book and a card. Tom is happy. He shows Lily his letter and his sticker book. + +Lily does not get any mail. She is envious. She wants a letter and a sticker book too. She thinks Tom is lucky. She says, "I wish I had a grandma who sends me mail." + +Tom sees that Lily is sad. He wants to make her happy. He has an idea. He says, "Why don't we make a letter for you? We can use some of my stickers and draw some pictures. Then we can mail it to your house. You can pretend it is from your grandma." + +Lily likes Tom's idea. She smiles. She says, "That sounds fun. Thank you, Tom. You are a good friend." + +They go to Tom's house. They find some paper and crayons and scissors and glue. They make a letter for Lily. They use some of Tom's stickers and draw some pictures. They write, "Dear Lily, I love you. You are a good girl. Here are some stickers for you. Have fun. Love, Grandma." They put the letter in an envelope and write Lily's address. They go to the mailbox and mail it. + +The next day, Lily wakes up. She hears a knock on the door. It is the mailman. He has a letter for Lily. Lily is excited. She opens the letter. She sees the stickers and the pictures and the words. She is happy. She says, "Look, Mom, I got a letter from Grandma. She loves me. She sent me stickers. They are so pretty." + +Lily's mom hugs her. She says, "That is wonderful, Lily. Grandma loves you very much. And so do I. And so does Tom. He is a very nice friend. He helped you make this letter. He mailed it to you. He wanted to make you happy." + +Lily nods. She says, "Yes, he is. He is the best friend. I love him too. I want to thank him. I want to make him a letter too. Can we do that, Mom?" + +Lily's mom says, "Of course, we can. That is a very kind thing to do. Let's go and find some paper and crayons and stickers. And let's mail it to Tom. He will be happy too." +Lila and Ben are playing in the kitchen. They see a big bowl of cream on the table. They want to make it fluffy and sweet. + +"Can we use the whip?" Lila asks Ben. + +"Yes, let's try!" Ben says. He grabs the whip and starts to shake it. + +But the whip is too big and heavy for Ben. He loses his grip and the whip flies out of his hand. It hits a vase on the shelf and breaks it. + +"Oh no!" Lila and Ben say. They hear Mom coming. + +They run and hide under the table. They hope Mom will not see the mess. + +Mom enters the kitchen. She sees the broken vase and the cream on the floor. She is angry. + +"Who did this?" she asks. + +Lila and Ben are scared. They do not want to get in trouble. + +They peek out from under the table. They see Mom holding the whip. + +They think Mom will use the whip to punish them. + +They start to cry. + +"Mom, we are sorry!" they say. + +Mom hears them and looks under the table. She sees their faces and softens. + +She puts down the whip and kneels down. + +She hugs them and says, "It's okay, my loves. I know you were curious. But you have to be careful with the whip. It can hurt you or break things. You have to prevent accidents by asking me first." + +Lila and Ben nod. They say, "We understand, Mom. We will be careful next time." + +Mom smiles and says, "Good. Now let's clean up this mess and make some whipped cream together. How does that sound?" + +Lila and Ben smile too. They say, "That sounds great, Mom. We love you." + +They get out from under the table and help Mom clean up. They learn how to use the whip safely and make delicious whipped cream. They enjoy their treat and forget their fear. +Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they found a big pipe that was lying on the grass. It was shiny and round and had holes in it. + +"Wow, look at this pipe!" Lily said. "It must be very old and special. I want to play with it." + +"No, I want to play with it!" Tom said. "It looks like a trumpet. I can make music with it." + +They both grabbed the pipe and tried to pull it away from each other. They began to quarrel and shout. + +"Let go of the pipe, Lily! It's mine!" + +"No, let go of the pipe, Tom! It's mine!" + +They did not notice that the pipe was fragile and could break easily. As they tugged and yanked, the pipe snapped in half with a loud crack. They both fell to the ground and stared at the broken pieces. + +"Oh no, what have we done?" Lily said. "We broke the pipe. It was so pretty and now it's ruined." + +"I'm sorry, Lily," Tom said. "I was being selfish. I should have shared the pipe with you." + +"I'm sorry, too, Tom," Lily said. "I was being greedy. I should have let you play with the pipe first." + +They hugged and said they were sorry. They decided to throw away the broken pipe and find something else to play with. They learned that quarreling is not fun and that sharing is better. They were friends again and went to play on the swings. +One day, Ben and Mia went to play in the woods. They liked to look for bugs and flowers and rocks. They saw a big hole in the hill. It was a cave. Ben wanted to go inside, but Mia was scared. + +"Come on, Mia, let's see what's in there!" Ben said. + +"No, Ben, it's dark and cold and maybe there are bears!" Mia said. + +"Don't be silly, Mia, there are no bears here. It's just a cave. It will be fun!" Ben said. + +He took Mia's hand and pulled her towards the cave. Mia tried to pull back, but Ben was stronger. They went into the cave. It was dark and cold and quiet. They could not see anything. + +"Ben, I don't like this. Let's go back!" Mia said. + +"OK, OK, don't cry, Mia. We'll go back. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you. I care about you, Mia. You're my sister." Ben said. + +He hugged Mia and tried to find the way out. But he could not see the hole. They were lost in the cave. + +"Ben, what are we going to do?" Mia said. + +"I don't know, Mia. We have to be brave and wait for someone to find us. Maybe Mom or Dad or a ranger will come. They will look for us. They care about us too." Ben said. + +He held Mia's hand and they sat down on the floor. They were scared and cold and hungry. They hoped someone would come soon. They did not know how serious their situation was. They did not know that the cave had many tunnels and traps and secrets. They did not know that they were not alone in the cave. +Anna liked to play with her jewelry. She had many necklaces, bracelets, and rings that sparkled and shone. She liked to wear them and pretend she was a princess. She also liked to share them with her friends. + +One day, she saw a new girl in the park. The girl was sitting on a bench, looking sad. She had no toys and wore old clothes. Anna thought she looked poor. + +"Hi, I'm Anna. What's your name?" Anna asked the girl. + +"I'm Lily. I just moved here with my mom. We don't have much money," the girl said. + +"I'm sorry. Do you want to play with me? I have some jewelry. You can wear some if you like," Anna offered. + +"Really? That's very nice of you. I love jewelry, but I never had any," Lily said. + +"Come on, then. Let's go to the slide. I'll show you my jewelry. You can pick one to keep. I have enough for both of us," Anna said. + +Lily smiled and followed Anna. She felt happy to have a new friend. She also felt happy to have some jewelry. She chose a pink necklace that matched her eyes. She thanked Anna and hugged her. + +Anna and Lily played together for a long time. They had fun and laughed a lot. They included each other in their games. They became best friends. They both liked jewelry, but they liked each other more. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play with blocks and puzzles. One day, they find a big puzzle with many pieces. It has a picture of a farm with animals and a tractor. + +"Wow, this looks fun!" Lily says. She is eager to start the puzzle. She picks up a piece and looks for where it goes. + +"Can I help?" Tom asks. He also wants to play with the puzzle. He stares at the pieces and tries to find one that matches. + +"Sure, you can help," Lily says. She smiles at Tom. "Let's work together." + +They start to put the pieces together. They find the corners and the edges first. Then they fill in the middle. They look for the colors and shapes that fit. + +They work hard and have fun. Soon, they finish the puzzle. They see the farm with the animals and the tractor. They are happy and proud. + +"Look, we did it!" Lily says. She claps her hands. + +"We did it!" Tom says. He hugs Lily. "You are a good friend." + +They stare at the puzzle and smile. They like to play with blocks and puzzles. They like to play with each other. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play on the porch of Anna's house. They have a big box of toys and games. They can choose what they want to play. + +One day, they decide to play with the puzzle. The puzzle has many pieces. They have to fit them together to make a picture. The picture is of a farm with animals and a tractor. + +Anna and Ben work hard on the puzzle. They find the pieces that match the colors and shapes. They help each other when they get stuck. They are happy when they see the picture grow. + +"Look, Ben, we are almost done!" Anna says. "We only need a few more pieces." + +"Yes, Anna, we are doing great!" Ben says. "We can succeed!" + +They look for the last pieces. They find them and put them in the right places. They finish the puzzle. They clap and cheer. + +"We did it, Anna, we did it!" Ben says. + +"We succeeded, Ben, we succeeded!" Anna says. + +They hug and smile. They are proud of themselves. They show the puzzle to Anna's mom. She comes out of the house and sees them on the porch. + +"Wow, Anna and Ben, you did a fine job!" she says. "You made a beautiful puzzle!" + +"Thank you, mom!" Anna says. + +"Thank you, Anna's mom!" Ben says. + +They invite her to join them on the porch. They tell her about the puzzle and the farm. They have fun together. They are happy. +Lily loves to read books. She reads every day with her mom and dad. She likes books with animals, colors, and shapes. She also likes books with stories and rhymes. + +One day, Lily finds a new book on her shelf. It is a book about teeth. She opens the book and sees pictures of different teeth. She sees big teeth, small teeth, sharp teeth, and flat teeth. She sees teeth of lions, rabbits, sharks, and cows. She reads the words under the pictures. She learns that teeth help animals eat and talk. + +She shows the book to her mom. "Mom, look at this book! It is about teeth. Can I read it to you?" she asks. + +"Sure, Lily. I would love to hear you read. Let's sit on the couch and read together," her mom says. + +Lily and her mom sit on the couch and read the book. Lily reads the words and points to the pictures. She asks her mom questions about the teeth. She learns that some animals have more teeth than others. She learns that some animals have baby teeth and adult teeth. She learns that some animals have to brush their teeth to keep them clean and healthy. + +She also learns that some foods are good for teeth and some foods are bad for teeth. She learns that sweet foods, like candy and cake, can make teeth dirty and hurt. She learns that fruits and vegetables, like apples and carrots, can make teeth strong and shiny. + +When they finish the book, Lily smiles and shows her mom her teeth. "Mom, I have teeth too! I have baby teeth and soon I will have adult teeth. I want to take care of my teeth. I will brush them every day and eat good foods. I will not eat too many sweet foods. I want to have healthy teeth like the animals in the book," she says. + +Her mom hugs her and kisses her cheek. "I'm so proud of you, Lily. You are a good reader and a smart girl. You have beautiful teeth and a sweet smile. I love you very much," she says. +Lily was a little girl who liked to suck her thumb. She sucked her thumb when she was happy, when she was sad, when she was bored, and when she was sleepy. Her mom and dad told her to stop sucking her thumb, because it was bad for her teeth and her thumb. But Lily did not listen. She thought her thumb was her best friend. + +One day, Lily went to the park with her mom and dad. She saw a big slide and wanted to go on it. She ran to the slide and climbed up the ladder. She was about to slide down, when she saw a big boy waiting at the bottom. The boy looked mean and angry. He said, "This is my slide. You can't go on it. Go away!" + +Lily was scared of the boy. She wanted to go back to her mom and dad, but she was too high up. She wanted to cry, but she did not want the boy to see her. She put her thumb in her mouth and sucked it hard. She hoped the boy would leave her alone. + +But the boy did not leave her alone. He saw her sucking her thumb and laughed. He said, "You are a baby! You still suck your thumb! You are not brave enough to go on the slide. You are a coward!" + +Lily felt hurt and ashamed. She wished she could be brave and go on the slide. She wished she could stop sucking her thumb. She looked at her thumb and saw that it was red and sore. She realized that her thumb was not her best friend. It was her enemy. It made her look like a baby and made the boy tease her. + +Lily decided to do something she had never done before. She took her thumb out of her mouth and said, "No, I am not a baby. I am a big girl. I can go on the slide. And I don't need my thumb. I surrender my thumb. I don't want it anymore." + +The boy was surprised by Lily's words. He did not expect her to stand up to him. He felt a little ashamed of himself. He said, "Oh, okay. You can go on the slide. I'm sorry I was mean to you. You are brave and smart." + +Lily smiled and said, "Thank you. You are nice and kind." She slid down the slide and felt happy and proud. She ran to her mom and dad and hugged them. She said, "Mom, dad, I did it! I went on the slide and I surrendered my thumb. I don't need it anymore. I am a big girl now." + +Her mom and dad were very happy and proud of her too. They said, "Well done, Lily! You are a big girl now. You are obedient and courageous. We love you very much." + +Lily felt loved and secure. She never sucked her thumb again. She learned that sometimes, to grow up, you have to let go of things that hold you back. She learned that surrendering can be a good thing. She learned that being obedient can make you happy. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play together at the park. One day, Lily sees a poster on a tree. It says: "Party at Mia's house. Come and have fun. Bring your best clothes." + +Lily is happy. She likes parties. She runs to Ben and shows him the poster. "Look, Ben. Mia invites us to her party. Do you want to go?" + +Ben nods. He likes parties too. But he is worried. He does not have best clothes. He only has old clothes. His clothes have holes and stains. He is envious of Lily. She has many clothes. She has clothes with flowers, clothes with stars, clothes with animals. + +Lily sees that Ben is sad. She asks him: "What is wrong, Ben? Are you not happy?" + +Ben sighs. He tells Lily: "I am happy, but I am also sad. I do not have best clothes. I only have old clothes. I do not want to go to the party. Mia and the other kids will laugh at me." + +Lily hugs Ben. She says: "Do not be sad, Ben. You are my friend. I do not care about your clothes. You are nice and funny and smart. You can wear my clothes. I have many clothes. I can share with you. Then we can go to the party together. We will have fun." + +Ben smiles. He says: "Thank you, Lily. You are very kind. You are the best friend ever. I will wear your clothes. Then we can go to the party together. We will have fun." + +Lily and Ben go to Lily's house. They choose some clothes. They dress up. They look at each other. They laugh. They are happy. They go to the party. They have fun. +Tim likes to help his dad in the morning. He gets up early and puts on his shoes and coat. Then he goes outside with his dad. His dad gives him a big smile and a hug. + +They walk to the end of the street. There is a big box with many newspapers inside. His dad takes one newspaper and gives it to Tim. Tim holds it tight. He feels proud and happy. He likes to take the newspaper for his dad. + +They walk back to their house. Tim sees his mom at the door. She is holding a cup of hot milk. She waves at Tim and his dad. She says, "Good morning, my boys. You are so fast and helpful. Come inside and have some breakfast." + +Tim and his dad go inside. They put the newspaper on the table. Tim sits on his dad's lap. He looks at the newspaper. He sees many words and pictures. He does not understand them. He asks his dad, "What does the newspaper say?" + +His dad says, "The newspaper tells us many things. Some are good, some are bad, some are easy, some are hard. But you don't have to worry about them. You are too young. You just have to enjoy your milk and your toast and your toys. And you have to give me and your mom lots of hugs and kisses. That is easy and fun, right?" + +Tim nods and smiles. He says, "Yes, dad. I love you and mom. And I love to take the newspaper for you. Can we do it again tomorrow?" + +His dad says, "Of course, Tim. We can do it every morning. You are my best helper and my best friend." He gives Tim a big kiss and a big hug. Tim feels warm and cozy. He thinks, this is the best way to start the day. +Tom and Sam were brothers who liked to dig in the dirt. One day, they found a shiny rock that was yellow and heavy. They thought it was gold and they were very happy. + +"Look, Sam, we are rich!" Tom said. "This gold is very value. We can buy many toys and candy with it." + +"Yes, Tom, we are lucky!" Sam said. "But we have to hide it from Mom and Dad. They will take it away from us." + +They put the gold in a hole and covered it with leaves. They went home and pretended nothing happened. They planned to go back the next day and take the gold. + +But that night, a fox was looking for food in the woods. He smelled something good and followed his nose. He came to the hole where Tom and Sam hid the gold. He was very alert and curious. He moved the leaves and saw the shiny rock. He thought it was a big egg and he was very hungry. + +He bit the gold and broke his teeth. He was very angry and hurt. He threw the gold away and ran off. He never came back. + +The next day, Tom and Sam went to the hole to get their gold. But they could not find it. They looked everywhere and cried. They lost their gold and their dream. They were very sad. +Anna liked to have a journal. She wrote and drew in it every day. She had many things to tell her journal. She told it about her friends, her toys, her dreams, and her feelings. + +One day, she had a very cheerful day. She played with her friend Lily in the park. They had a picnic, they swung on the swings, they slid on the slide, and they chased the birds. Anna was very happy and laughed a lot. + +When she came home, she wanted to write in her journal. She took it from her shelf and opened it. But she saw that some pages were torn and scribbled. She was very sad and angry. Who did this to her journal? + +She ran to her mom and showed her the journal. "Mom, look what happened to my journal! Who did this?" she cried. + +Mom looked at the journal and hugged Anna. "I'm sorry, honey. I think your little brother did this. He doesn't know how to write or draw. He just likes to make marks. He didn't mean to hurt your journal. He was curious." + +Anna looked at her mom and then at her brother. He was sitting on the floor, playing with his blocks. He smiled at her and said, "Hi, Anna!" + +Anna felt a little better. She knew her brother was still a baby and didn't understand. She decided to forgive him. She said, "Hi, brother. Next time, don't touch my journal, okay? It's mine. You can have your own journal when you grow up." + +Mom smiled and said, "That's very kind of you, Anna. How about we get some tape and stickers and fix your journal? We can make it even more beautiful." + +Anna nodded and said, "Yes, please. Thank you, mom. I love you and I love my journal." +Tom and Lily liked to play with their blocks. They had many blocks of different shapes and colors. They could make towers, bridges, houses, and animals with their blocks. Sometimes they pretended that their blocks were magic and could talk. + +One day, they found a new block in their toy box. It was black and had a mysterious shape. It was not like any of the other blocks they had. It had many sides and corners, and it felt cold and heavy. Tom and Lily wondered what it was and where it came from. + +They decided to put it on top of their tallest tower. They thought it would look nice and maybe make their tower stronger. But as soon as they placed it, something strange happened. The black block started to glow and make a loud noise. It shook and spun and then exploded. It scattered pieces of itself and the other blocks all over the room. Tom and Lily were scared and ran to their mom. + +Mom came and saw the mess. She was not happy. She asked Tom and Lily what happened and where they got the black block. They told her the truth. They did not know what it was or where it came from. They just found it in their toy box. + +Mom looked at the black block and recognized it. It was not a toy. It was a battery. A very old and dangerous battery. She had thrown it away a long time ago, but somehow it had ended up in the toy box. She explained to Tom and Lily that batteries are not toys and that they should never play with them. They can be harmful and cause accidents. She told them to be careful and always ask her before they use something new. + +Tom and Lily felt sorry and learned their lesson. They helped mom clean up the mess and put away their blocks. They promised to never play with batteries again. They hugged mom and said they loved her. Mom hugged them back and said she loved them too. She was glad they were safe and sound. +Anna and Ben were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and run after it. They had a lot of fun and did not want to stop. + +"Anna, Ben, it's time to go home!" their mom called from the bench. "We have to make dinner and you have to take a bath." + +"But mom, we want to play more!" Anna said. + +"Me too!" Ben said. + +"Sorry, kids, but we have to go. If you hurry, you might get dessert after dinner. How does that sound?" their mom said. + +Anna and Ben liked dessert. They liked cake and ice cream and cookies. They wanted to have dessert, but they also wanted to play. + +"Can we play for five more minutes, please?" Anna asked. + +Their mom looked at her watch. She saw that it was getting late and they had to go. But she also saw that Anna and Ben were having fun and did not want to spoil it. + +"Okay, five more minutes. But then we have to go, no more delays. Deal?" she said. + +"Deal!" Anna and Ben said. + +They thanked their mom and went back to their ball. They kicked it harder and faster, trying to make the most of their time. They laughed and shouted and ran. + +But then, something bad happened. Ben kicked the ball too hard and it flew over the fence. It landed on the road, where a big car was coming. Ben did not see the car. He ran after the ball, trying to get it back. + +"Ben, stop!" Anna yelled. "There's a car!" + +But it was too late. The car hit the ball and made a loud noise. The ball popped and flew away. Ben stopped and looked at the car. He was scared and sad. He wanted his ball back. + +The car stopped and the driver got out. He was a nice man. He saw Ben and asked him if he was okay. + +"Are you hurt, kid?" he asked. + +Ben shook his head. He was not hurt, but he felt bad. He lost his ball and he made a mess. + +"I'm sorry, mister. I didn't mean to break your car. And I didn't mean to lose my ball. It was my favorite ball." he said. + +The man smiled and patted Ben's head. He was not angry. He was glad that Ben was not hurt. + +"It's okay, kid. It was an accident. My car is not broken, just a little dirty. And I have something for you. Wait here." he said. + +He went back to his car and opened the trunk. He took out a new ball and gave it to Ben. + +"Here, this is for you. It's a new ball. It's better than the old one. It's bigger and brighter and bouncier. Do you like it?" he asked. + +Ben looked at the new ball. It was a nice ball. It was red and yellow and blue. It had stars and stripes and dots. It was bigger and brighter and bouncier than his old ball. He liked it. + +"Wow, thank you, mister. It's a great ball. It's the best ball ever. You are very kind." he said. + +He hugged the man and thanked him again. The man hugged him back and wished him well. + +"Take care, kid. And be careful next time. Don't run after the ball on the road. It's dangerous. Stay on the grass. And have fun." he said. + +He got back in his car and drove away. Ben waved goodbye and ran back to Anna and his mom. He showed them his new ball and told them what happened. + +They were happy that he was okay and that he got a new ball. They said he was lucky and brave. They also said it was time to go home. They had to make dinner and take a bath. And they had to have dessert. + +Ben agreed. He was hungry and dirty and tired. He wanted to have dinner and take a bath. And he wanted to have dessert. He hoped it was cake or ice cream or cookies. He liked dessert. + +He took his new ball and held it tight. He was happy. He had a new ball and a new friend. He had a good day. He smiled and followed Anna and his mom. They left the park and went home. +Sara and Ben were twins. They liked to play with their toys and have tea parties. One day, they found a big mug in the kitchen. It was blue and had a picture of a cat on it. Sara and Ben thought it was very pretty and wanted to use it for their tea. + +They filled the mug with water and put it on a tray. They took the tray to their room and set it on a small table. They invited their teddy bears and dolls to join them. They poured some water from the mug into their cups and pretended it was tasty tea. They said, "Cheers!" and clinked their cups. + +But they did not know that the mug was not just a mug. It was a special mug that their mom had bought for their dad. It was a magic mug that changed color when it was hot. Their mom had put it in the kitchen to surprise their dad when he came home from work. She had a note that said, "I love you, you are the best dad ever!" + +When their dad came home, he saw the note and smiled. He looked for the mug, but he could not find it. He asked their mom, "Where is the mug you bought for me?" Their mom said, "I left it in the kitchen, did you not see it?" They went to the kitchen, but the mug was gone. + +They heard some giggling from the twins' room. They followed the sound and opened the door. They saw Sara and Ben having a tea party with the mug. The mug was blue and cold. Their dad said, "Hey, that's my mug! Where did you get it?" Sara and Ben said, "We found it in the kitchen. It is very pretty and we like it. Can we keep it?" + +Their dad said, "No, you can't keep it. It is a special mug for me. It is a magic mug that changes color when it is hot. Look, I will show you." He took the mug from the tray and filled it with hot water from the kettle. He showed it to Sara and Ben. The mug turned red and the picture of the cat changed to a picture of a heart. Sara and Ben said, "Wow, that is amazing! How does it do that?" + +Their dad said, "It is a secret. It is a gift from your mom. She loves me very much and wanted to make me happy. Do you love me too?" Sara and Ben said, "Yes, we love you too, dad. You are the best dad ever!" They hugged their dad and said, "We are sorry we took your mug. We did not know it was yours. Can we pay you back?" + +Their dad said, "You don't have to pay me back. You can share the mug with me. But you have to ask me first, okay?" Sara and Ben said, "Okay, dad. Thank you for sharing the mug with us. Can we have some more tea?" Their dad said, "Sure, let's have some more tea. But this time, let's use real tea, not water. It will be more tasty." They all laughed and had a nice tea party together. +Tommy liked to play in the garden. He liked to dig and run and find bugs. One day, he saw a big spider on a web. He wanted to touch it. + +"Can I touch the spider, Mommy?" he asked. + +Mommy looked at the spider. She was careful. She knew some spiders could hurt. + +"No, Tommy, you can't touch the spider. It might bite you. It is not a toy. It is a living thing. It has a home and a family. You have to be nice to it and leave it alone," she said. + +Tommy was sad. He wanted to touch the spider. He thought it was pretty and shiny. He did not want to hurt it. He wanted to be its friend. + +He waited until Mommy was busy. He crept closer to the web. He reached out his hand. He was not careful. + +The spider saw Tommy. It was scared. It thought Tommy was a danger. It did not want to be touched. It wanted to be left alone. It did what spiders do. It bit Tommy. + +Tommy screamed. He felt a sharp pain in his finger. He ran to Mommy. He showed her his finger. It was red and swollen. + +"Mommy, Mommy, the spider bit me! It hurts! It hurts!" he cried. + +Mommy hugged Tommy. She was worried. She took him inside. She called the doctor. She put some ice on his finger. She told him he was brave. + +"Tommy, I told you not to touch the spider. Why did you do that?" she asked. + +Tommy sniffed. He was sorry. He learned his lesson. + +"I wanted to touch the spider, Mommy. I wanted to be its friend. But the spider did not want to be my friend. The spider was mean," he said. + +Mommy smiled. She kissed his finger. She told him a story. She said spiders were not mean. They were just different. They had their own way of living. They did not like to be touched. They liked to be respected. She said Tommy could still be nice to the spider. He could watch it from a distance. He could say hello. He could learn about it. But he could not touch it. + +Tommy nodded. He understood. He felt better. He said sorry to the spider. He said he would be careful next time. He said he would be a good friend. He said he would listen to Mommy.

They have fun in the sun. + +But one day, it is very cold and rainy. They cannot go outside. They are sad and bored. They look out of the window and miss the garden. + +"Let's play inside," says Tom. "We can make a fort with pillows and blankets." + +"OK," says Lily. "But we need a flag for our fort. What can we use?" + +Tom thinks for a moment. He sees his dad's bathrobe hanging on the door. It is blue and soft. He takes it and runs to the living room. + +"Look, Lily, I found a flag!" he says. "It is cool and big. We can put it on top of our fort." + +Lily smiles. She likes the bathrobe. She helps Tom to build the fort. They use chairs, cushions and books. They make a door and a window. They put the bathrobe on the highest chair. + +They crawl inside the fort. They pretend they are explorers in a jungle. They have a flashlight and a map. They see animals and plants. They have fun in the fort. + +They do not miss the garden anymore. They are happy and warm. They love their fort and their flag. They love each other. +Lily and Max were playing in the park. They liked to rock on the swings and slide down the slide. They also liked to dig in the sand and look for treasure. Sometimes they found shiny stones or pretty shells. + +One day, they saw a big box in the sand. They ran to it and opened it. Inside, they saw many toys and books and clothes. They were very happy and excited. + +"Wow, look at all this treasure!" Lily said. "Let's take it home and share it with our friends!" + +But Max shook his head. "No, this is our treasure. We found it, so we keep it. We don't need to share it with anyone." + +Lily felt sad and angry. She wanted to share the treasure with her friends. She thought sharing was fun and kind. She did not like Max being greedy and mean. + +"That's not fair, Max!" Lily said. "Sharing is good. If we share, we can make more friends and have more fun. If we don't share, we will be lonely and bored." + +Max did not listen. He grabbed the box and tried to pull it away. Lily held on to the other side. They both pulled and pulled. They started to yell and fight. + +Suddenly, a man came over. He looked angry and scary. He had a long beard and a long coat. He pointed at the box and shouted. + +"Hey, that's my box! I left it here for a moment. What are you doing with it? Give it back to me!" + +Lily and Max were shocked and scared. They let go of the box and ran away. They did not want to get in trouble. They did not want to lose the treasure. + +But as they ran, they realized something. The treasure was not theirs. It belonged to someone else. They had been wrong to take it and fight over it. They felt sorry and ashamed. + +They decided to go back and say sorry to the man. They hoped he would forgive them. They also decided to say sorry to each other. They did not want to lose their friendship. + +They learned a lesson that day. They learned that treasure is not only things that are shiny and pretty. Treasure is also friendship and kindness. And the best way to enjoy treasure is to share it with others. +Poppy is a red flower. Poppy likes to grow in the sun. Poppy has many friends. They are also red flowers.

They like to play pretend. Today, they pretend to be dentists and patients. Anna puts on a white coat and a mask. Ben sits on a chair and opens his mouth. + +"Hello, Ben. I am Dr. Anna. I will check your teeth. Do you brush them every day?" Anna asks. + +"Yes, I do. But I have a sore tooth. It hurts when I eat," Ben says. + +Anna looks at Ben's teeth. She sees a black spot on one of them. She takes a toy drill and makes a buzzing sound. + +"Don't worry, Ben. I will fix your tooth. It will not hurt.

Her mom would say yes, but only if Lily was obedient and careful. Lily always said yes, too. + +One day, Lily and her mom walked to the mailbox together. Lily was very excited to see what was inside. She hoped there would be a letter from her grandma, or a card from her friend, or a sticker from her teacher. She opened the mailbox and looked inside. + +But there was nothing in the mailbox. It was empty. Lily felt sad and confused. She asked her mom, "Where is the mail, mom? Why is the mailbox empty?" + +Her mom smiled and hugged her. She said, "Don't worry, Lily. Sometimes the mailman is late, or he has no mail for us. It's not your fault. Maybe we will get some mail tomorrow, or the next day. You are still a good helper, and I love you very much." + +Lily felt better and hugged her mom back. She said, "I love you, too, mom. And I love the mailbox, even when it's empty. Maybe we can draw some pictures and put them in the mailbox for the mailman. He will like that, right?" + +Her mom nodded and said, "That's a great idea, Lily. Let's go home and get some crayons and paper. You are very creative and kind, and I'm proud of you." + +Lily and her mom walked home, holding hands. Lily was happy and obedient. She liked to help her mom with the mail. +Tim liked to play with insects. He liked to catch them in a jar and look at them. He liked to see their legs, wings, eyes and colors. He did not hurt them. He always let them go after a while. + +One day, he found a big insect in the grass. It was green and had long horns. Tim was very happy. He put the insect in his jar and ran to show his mom. "Look, mom, look what I found!" he said. + +Mom looked at the jar and frowned. "Tim, that is not an insect. That is a grasshopper. And he is not happy in your jar. He needs air and space and friends. You should quit keeping him and let him go." + +Tim felt sad. He liked the grasshopper. He wanted to keep him as a pet. He did not want to let him go. "But mom, he is so cool. And I am lonely. I have no one to play with. Can I keep him, please?" + +Mom shook her head. "No, Tim, you can't. The grasshopper is lonely too. He has a family and a home in the grass. He does not belong in your jar. He belongs in the wild. You should be kind and let him go. Maybe you can find another way to play with him. You can watch him hop and sing and eat. You can learn about him and his life. But you can't keep him." + +Tim thought about what mom said. He looked at the grasshopper in the jar. He saw him move his horns and legs. He heard him make a noise. He realized that the grasshopper was not happy. He felt sorry for him. He decided to quit keeping him and let him go. He opened the jar and put it on the ground. The grasshopper jumped out and hopped away. Tim watched him go. He felt a little sad, but also a little happy. He smiled and waved. "Bye, grasshopper. Thank you for letting me play with you. I hope you find your friends and have fun. Maybe I will see you again someday." +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play and joke with each other. One day, they find a big box of chocolate in the kitchen. They are very happy and want to eat some. + +But Lily has an idea. She says, "Let's joke with Mom.

They put the chocolate under the bed and make some wrappers out of paper. They put the wrappers in the box and leave it on the table. + +Then they wait for Mom to come home. When Mom sees the box, she is surprised and angry. She says, "Who ate all the chocolate? That was for Grandma's birthday!" Lily and Tom giggle and run out of their room. They say, "Surprise, Mom! We joked with you. The chocolate is under our bed. We did not eat it. We love you and Grandma." + +Mom is relieved and amused. She says, "You two are very naughty, but also very clever. You made a good joke, but you also saved the chocolate. Come here and give me a hug. Then we can share some chocolate and make a cake for Grandma." Lily and Tom hug Mom and say, "We are sorry, Mom. We just wanted to have some fun. We love you and Grandma too." They go to the kitchen and help Mom make a cake. They eat some chocolate and joke some more.

Lily said. +Sara and Tom were twins who liked to play with books. They had many books with pictures and stories that their mom and dad read to them. But Sara and Tom did not always take good care of their books. Sometimes they would tear the pages or draw on them with crayons. + +One day, their mom gave them a new book. It was a big book with shiny cover and many pages. It was a book of wisdom, mom said. It had stories of animals and people who learned important lessons. Mom said they should be gentle and careful with the book, because it was fragile and old. + +Sara and Tom were curious and excited. They wanted to see the book and read the stories. But they did not listen to mom. They grabbed the book and pulled it from each other. They fought and shouted and did not share. The book was too big and heavy for them. It slipped from their hands and fell on the floor. The cover cracked and the pages tore. The book of wisdom was ruined. + +Mom heard the noise and came to see what happened. She was sad and angry when she saw the book. She scolded Sara and Tom and took the book away. She said they were naughty and selfish. They did not respect the book or each other. They did not learn from the book of wisdom. They wasted a precious gift. + +Sara and Tom felt sorry and ashamed. They realized they made a big mistake. They hugged each other and apologized. They promised to be gentle and careful with books and to share and cooperate. They asked mom to forgive them and to read them the book of wisdom. Mom smiled and hugged them. She said she forgave them and she was proud of them. She said they learned a valuable lesson. She said the book of wisdom was not only in the pages, but also in their hearts. +Sara and Ben were playing in the garden. They saw some flowers that were very pretty. They were yellow and pink and purple. Sara said, "Look, Ben, the flowers are blooming. They are opening up and showing their colors." + +Ben nodded and smiled. He liked the flowers too. He wanted to smell them. He went closer and sniffed one. He made a face. "Ew, this flower smells bad. It smells like salt. Why does it smell like salt?" + +Sara laughed. She knew why. She said, "That's not a flower, Ben. That's a weed. It grows near the sea and it has salt on it. You are silly, Ben. You can't smell a weed. It will make you sneeze." + +Ben sneezed. He felt silly. He said, "Sorry, Sara. I didn't know. It looked like a flower to me. Can we find some real flowers to smell?" + +Sara nodded. She said, "Sure, Ben. Let's go over there. There are some roses and daisies and sunflowers. They smell nice and sweet. Come on, Ben. Let's go and enjoy the blooming flowers." +Sam and Mia are playing in the park. They like to swing, slide and run. Sam sees a big hill and wants to climb it. He says to Mia, "Come, let's go up the hill. It will be fun." + +Mia is not sure. She says, "The hill is too high. I am scared. What if we fall?" + +Sam says, "Don't be scared. We can do it. We are brave. Hold my hand and follow me." + +They start to climb the hill. They use their feet and hands to move on the grass and dirt. They are careful and slow. They are almost at the top when Sam slips and falls. He hurts his knee and cries. He feels pain. + +Mia hears Sam cry and runs to him. She sees his knee is red and bleeding. She says, "Oh no, Sam, are you okay? Does it hurt a lot?" + +Sam says, "Yes, it hurts. I want to go home. I don't like the hill." + +Mia says, "It's okay, Sam. I am here. I will help you. You are brave. You climbed the hill. You can go down too. I will hold your hand and we will go slow." + +She helps Sam stand up and they walk down the hill. They find their mom and dad and tell them what happened. Their mom and dad hug them and say, "You are both brave. We are proud of you. Let's go home and clean your knee, Sam. It will be better soon." +Lily and Ben went to the park with Mom. They saw a big statue of a lion. Lily was scared of the lion. She hid behind Mom. + +"Look, Lily, it's not a real lion. It's just a statue. It can't hurt you," Mom said. + +Ben was not scared. He ran to the statue and touched its mane. He smiled and said, "It's so soft and fluffy. Come, Lily, touch it too. It's fun." + +Lily shook her head. She did not want to touch the statue. She thought it might roar or bite. + +Mom encouraged Lily. She said, "You can do it, Lily. Ben is your brother. He will help you. The statue is not scary. It's lucky. It will make you brave." + +Lily looked at Ben. He nodded and held out his hand. He said, "Come on, Lily. I'll show you. It's easy. You'll like it." + +Lily took a deep breath. She let go of Mom's hand and took Ben's hand. She walked slowly to the statue. She felt Ben's hand squeeze hers. She felt Mom's eyes on her. + +She reached the statue and touched its mane. It was soft and fluffy. She felt a warm feeling in her chest. She smiled and said, "You're right, Ben. It's fun. It's not scary. It's lucky." + +Mom clapped her hands and said, "Well done, Lily. You're so brave. I'm proud of you." + +Lily and Ben hugged Mom. They hugged the statue too. They felt lucky and happy. They played with the statue until it was time to go home. +Lily and Tom were playing in the forest. They liked to pretend they were hunters and look for animals. They had a bow and arrow made of sticks and a net made of rope. + +"Look, Tom, a rabbit!" Lily whispered, pointing to a brown furry thing. "Let's catch it for dinner!" + +"OK, Lily, you shoot and I'll throw the net!" Tom said, ready to run. + +But before they could move, they heard a loud roar. A huge bear came out of the bushes. It had big teeth and claws and looked very angry. + +"Run, Lily, run!" Tom shouted, dropping his net and grabbing Lily's hand. + +They ran as fast as they could, but the bear was faster. It chased them all the way to the edge of the forest, where they saw their dad. + +"Dad, dad, help!" they cried, running to him. + +Dad saw the bear and picked up a big stick. He waved it at the bear and shouted, "Go away, you big bully! Leave my kids alone!" + +The bear stopped and growled. It looked at dad, then at Lily and Tom, then at the stick. It decided it did not want to fight. It turned around and ran back into the forest. + +Lily and Tom hugged their dad. They were very scared, but also very glad. + +"Thank you, dad, you saved us!" they said. + +"You're welcome, my brave hunters," dad said, smiling. "But next time, I recommend you stay away from the bear's home. He does not like visitors." +Ben and Lily liked to play with magnets. They had many magnets of different shapes and colors. They stuck them on the fridge, on the metal table, and on their toys. They made funny patterns and pictures with them. + +One day, Ben found a big magnet in the garage. It was very strong and heavy. He wanted to show it to Lily. He ran to the kitchen, where Lily was playing with some small magnets. He said, "Look, Lily, I have a big magnet. It is very useful. It can pick up many things." + +Lily was curious. She wanted to see the big magnet. She followed Ben to the garage. Ben showed her how the big magnet could pick up nails, screws, and tools. He said, "See, Lily, this magnet is very useful. It can help us fix things and make things." + +Lily nodded. She thought the big magnet was cool. She said, "Can I try it, Ben?" Ben said, "Sure, Lily, you can try it. But be careful, it is very strong. It can also stick to other magnets." + +Lily took the big magnet and held it in her hands. She felt it pull and tug. She saw some small magnets on the floor. She said, "Look, Ben, the big magnet can stick to the small magnets. It can make them move and dance." + +Ben smiled. He said, "Yes, Lily, the big magnet can stick to the small magnets. It can make them move and dance. But don't mention it to Mom. She might not like it if we mess up the garage." +Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. They like to swing, slide and run. They have fun every day. + +One day, Sara says to Tom, "Let's go see the sunset. It is very pretty. It has many colors. Red, orange, yellow, pink and purple." + +Tom says, "OK, let's go. But we have to be back before dark. Mom and dad will be worried." + +Sara says, "I promise. We will be back soon. Come on, follow me." + +They run to the hill. They see the sun. It is big and round. It is going down. It makes the sky look like a painting. Sara and Tom sit on the grass. They watch the sun. They say, "Wow!" + +They smile at each other. They are happy. They are regular friends. They like the same things. They like the sunset. They hold hands. They say, "We will always be friends, right?" + +They nod. They say, "Yes, we will. We promise." +Tommy loved to play with his toys. He had cars, trains, boats and an aeroplane. He liked to make them zoom and fly and honk and splash. He pretended he was a driver, a captain, a pilot and a explorer. + +But his sister Lily hated his toys. She said they were noisy, boring and silly. She liked to play with her dolls, her tea set, her crayons and her books. She pretended she was a princess, a teacher, a artist and a doctor. + +One day, Tommy and Lily had to share a room. Tommy put his toys on his bed and Lily put her toys on her bed. They did not want to play with each other. They said mean things and made faces. + +But then, something happened. Lily's doll fell off her bed and landed on Tommy's aeroplane. The aeroplane broke into pieces. Tommy was very sad and angry. He shouted at Lily and grabbed her doll. He threw the doll on the floor and it lost an arm. + +Lily was very sad and angry too. She cried and hit Tommy. She took his train and smashed it on the wall. The train derailed and lost a wheel. + +Tommy and Lily were both very unhappy. They looked at their broken toys and felt sorry. They realized they had been very bad and stupid. They said sorry to each other and hugged. + +They decided to fix their toys together. They used glue, tape, string and stickers. They worked hard and had fun. They made their toys look new and better. They were very proud and happy. + +They learned to share and care. They played with each other's toys and pretended new things. They became friends and had more fun. They were very successful and smart. +Ben and Lily liked to help Mom in the kitchen. They liked to put things in the dishwasher. Mom said they were good helpers. + +One day, Mom had a lot of dishes to wash. She asked Ben and Lily to put the plates and cups in the dishwasher. She said she would put the pots and pans later. + +Ben and Lily started to put the dishes in the dishwasher. Ben put a plate on the bottom rack. Lily put a cup on the top rack. They took turns until they filled the racks. + +Then, Lily saw a wide bowl on the counter. She wanted to put it in the dishwasher too. She picked it up and tried to fit it on the top rack. But it was too wide. It did not fit. + +"Ben, help me!" Lily said. "This bowl is too wide. It does not fit in the dishwasher." + +Ben came over and looked at the bowl. He had an idea. He said, "Let's put it on the door. There is more space there." + +He opened the door of the dishwasher and put the bowl on it. He closed the door and smiled. He said, "There. We did it. We put the bowl in the dishwasher." + +Lily smiled too. She said, "We are good helpers. Mom will be happy." + +But Mom was not happy. When she came back to the kitchen, she heard a loud crash. She opened the door of the dishwasher and saw the bowl broken in pieces. She said, "Oh no! What happened?" + +Ben and Lily looked at each other. They felt sorry. They said, "We are sorry, Mom. We tried to help. We put the bowl in the dishwasher. But it was too wide. It did not fit." + +Mom sighed. She said, "I appreciate your help, but you have to be careful. You can't put things on the door of the dishwasher. They will fall and break. Next time, ask me first if you are not sure." + +Ben and Lily nodded. They said, "We are sorry, Mom. We will ask you next time." + +Mom hugged them. She said, "It's okay. I love you. You are still good helpers. But now, let's clean up this mess." +Ben and Mia were twins, but they were very different. Ben liked to play with cars and trucks, and Mia liked to play with dolls and flowers. One day, they found a big bottle in the garage. It had a skull and crossbones on it, and a word they could not read. + +"What is this?" Ben asked, picking up the bottle. + +"I don't know, but it looks bad," Mia said, backing away. + +"Maybe it's a magic potion," Ben said, shaking the bottle. "Maybe it can make us fly or turn invisible." + +"Or maybe it's poison," Mia said, feeling scared. "Maybe it can make us sick or hurt us." + +Ben did not listen to Mia. He wanted to try the potion. He opened the bottle and poured some on his hand. It felt cold and wet. + +"See, it's nothing," Ben said, smiling. "It's just water." + +He poured some more on his truck, and then on Mia's doll. + +"Stop it, Ben!" Mia cried. "You're ruining my doll!" + +She grabbed the bottle from Ben and tried to close it. But Ben pulled it back, and they started to fight. The bottle slipped from their hands and fell on the floor. The potion spilled everywhere, and it started to fizz and smoke. + +"Uh-oh," Ben and Mia said together. + +They ran out of the garage, coughing and sneezing. They saw their mom coming home from work. She saw the smoke and the bottle, and she was very angry. + +"What have you done?" she asked, grabbing them by the arms. "Do you know what this is? This is bleach, and it's very dangerous. It can soak your skin and clothes, and it can poison your eyes and mouth. You could have hurt yourselves or each other. You should never touch things you don't know, especially in the garage. There are many things there that are not for children." + +Ben and Mia felt very sorry and ashamed. They apologized to their mom, and to each other. They hugged and said they loved each other. They learned their lesson, and they never played with the bleach again. + +The moral of the story is: Don't play with things you don't know, and listen to your sister or brother. They might know better than you. +Mia and Ben like to play with their jeep. It is big and red and has four wheels. They take turns to drive it in the yard. They make noises like vroom and beep. + +One day, they see a chubby cat on the fence. The cat is black and white and has green eyes. Mia and Ben want to pet the cat, but the cat does not like them. It hisses and scratches at them. + +"Go away, cat!" Mia says. "You are mean!" + +"Let's chase it with our jeep!" Ben says. "That will scare it!" + +They get in their jeep and drive towards the fence. The cat sees them and jumps off. It runs away fast. Mia and Ben laugh and follow it. They roll over the grass and the dirt. + +But the cat is smarter than them. It runs under a bush and hides. Mia and Ben cannot see it. They stop their jeep and look around. + +"Where did it go?" Mia asks. + +"I don't know," Ben says. "Maybe it went home." + +They are sad. They wanted to play with the cat. They get out of their jeep and walk back to the yard. + +"Maybe we can find another cat," Mia says. + +"Or a dog," Ben says. + +They smile and hold hands. They still have their jeep. They can play with it again tomorrow. +Mia loved to dance. She danced every day in her room, in the garden, and in the park. She wanted to be a good dancer, so she watched other dancers on TV and copied their moves. She also asked her mom to teach her some steps. + +One day, her mom said, "Mia, I have a surprise for you. There is a dance class for kids near our house. You can go there and learn more dance skills. Do you want to try it?" + +Mia was very happy. She said, "Yes, yes, yes! Thank you, mom! I want to go to the dance class and improve my dance!" + +The next day, Mia went to the dance class with her mom. She met other kids who also liked to dance. The teacher was very nice and showed them how to warm up, stretch, and do some basic moves. Mia had fun and learned a lot. + +But there was one girl who was not very nice. Her name was Zoe, and she thought she was the best dancer in the class. She always showed off and made fun of other kids. She said to Mia, "You are a bad dancer. You are slow and clumsy. You can't do anything right." + +Mia felt sad and angry. She wanted to prove Zoe wrong. She said, "You are a mean girl. You are not a good dancer. You are fierce and rude. You don't know how to have fun." + +Zoe said, "Oh, yeah? Let's see who is the better dancer. Let's have a dance-off. The winner gets a prize. The loser has to leave the class." + +Mia said, "OK. I accept your challenge. Let's dance." + +The teacher heard them and said, "Stop, stop, stop. What is going on here? Why are you fighting? This is a dance class, not a battle. We are here to learn and enjoy, not to compete and hurt. There is no prize, and no one has to leave. You both have to apologize and make up." + +Mia and Zoe looked at each other. They realized they were being silly and mean. They said, "We are sorry. We didn't mean to be rude. We both love to dance. Can we be friends?" + +The teacher said, "That's better. Now, let's dance together and have fun. You can learn from each other and improve your dance. Dancing is not about being the best, but about being yourself and expressing your feelings." + +Mia and Zoe nodded and smiled. They joined the other kids and danced together. They found out they had some things in common and some things different. They respected and helped each other. They became friends and improved their dance. They also had a lot of fun. +Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play with their toys in their room. But sometimes they fight over the toys. One day, Tim wants to play with the train, but Sam has it. Tim tries to take it from Sam, but Sam holds it tight. + +"Give me the train!" Tim says. + +"No, it is mine!" Sam says. + +They pull and tug on the train. The train has a long string with a knot. The knot gets stuck on the door. Tim and Sam do not see it. + +Mom hears them fight. She comes to their room. She is not happy. She wants them to share and be nice. + +"Stop fighting, boys!" Mom says. "You have many toys. You can play with other toys." + +She tries to open the door, but it does not move. The knot is in the way. She pulls on the door, but it is still shut. + +"Uh-oh," Mom says. "The door is shut. We are stuck in the room." + +Tim and Sam stop fighting. They look at the door. They look at the knot. They feel anxious. They do not want to be stuck in the room. They want to go out and play. + +"Sorry, Mom," Tim says. + +"Sorry, Mom," Sam says. + +They help Mom to untie the knot. They work together. They use their fingers and teeth. They loosen the knot. Mom pulls on the string. The knot comes off the door. The door opens. + +"Yay!" Tim and Sam say. + +"Good job, boys," Mom says. "You solved the problem. Now, can you play nicely?" + +"Yes, Mom," Tim and Sam say. + +They hug Mom. They hug each other. They share the train. They play with other toys. They are happy. +Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park every day. They had a secret spot under a big tree, where they hid their toys and snacks. They always held hands when they crossed the street. + +One day, Lily's mom said they had to move to a new house far away. Lily was very sad. She wanted to stay with Ben. She told Ben the bad news. Ben was sad too. He said, "I will miss you, Lily. You are my best friend. Can we still talk on the phone?" + +Lily nodded. She said, "Yes, we can. And we can write letters and draw pictures. And maybe we can visit each other someday. But we have to remember each other, Ben. Promise me you will remember me." + +Ben promised. He said, "I will remember you, Lily. You are my best friend. I will never forget you." They hugged and kissed. They said goodbye. + +The next day, Lily and her mom left for the new house. Lily looked out the window and saw Ben waving at her. She waved back. She held her hand to her heart. She said, "I will remember you, Ben." + +But Lily did not remember Ben. She made new friends in the new house. She played with new toys and ate new snacks. She forgot about the park and the tree and the phone and the letters and the pictures. She forgot about Ben. + +And Ben did not remember Lily. He made new friends in the park. He played with new toys and ate new snacks. He forgot about the house and the window and the phone and the letters and the pictures. He forgot about Lily. + +They never saw each other again. They never talked to each other again. They never remembered each other again. They were not best friends anymore. +One day, a dirty fox was looking for food in the forest. He was very hungry and tired. He saw a big house with a fence and a gate. He thought there might be some chickens or eggs inside. + +He ran to the gate and tried to open it. But it was locked. He saw a small hole under the fence. He crawled through the hole and entered the yard. He looked around and saw a big coop with many chickens. He licked his lips and smiled. + +He ran to the coop and tried to open it. But it was also locked. He saw a small window on the side. He jumped and pushed the window. It opened with a loud noise. He climbed inside the coop and saw many chickens. They were scared and clucked loudly. + +He grabbed one chicken and tried to run away. But he was too slow. The noise woke up the farmer and his dog. They came out of the house and saw the dirty fox. They shouted and chased him. + +"Hey, you dirty fox! Leave my chickens alone!" the farmer yelled. + +"Ruff, ruff, ruff!" the dog barked. + +The dirty fox dropped the chicken and ran for his life. He jumped out of the window and ran to the hole. He crawled through the hole and ran to the forest. He was very scared and sad. He had no food and no friends. + +He learned a lesson that day. He should not try to open things that do not belong to him. He should not steal from others. He should be nice and make friends. Maybe then he would not be so hungry and tired. Maybe then he would not be so dirty and lonely. +Once upon a time, there was a big family. They went on a vacation to the beach. The beach had enormous white sand and blue water. The family was very happy. + +One day, the little boy found a ball. He liked to throw the ball. He threw the ball to his sister. His sister threw the ball back. They played and laughed together. + +But then, the little boy threw the ball too far. The ball went into the water. A big wave took the ball away. The little boy was sad. His sister gave him a hug. They learned to be careful when they throw things. + +The family had a good vacation. They learned that it is important to be careful and help each other.

Tim wanted to drive the car. "Can I drive you?" Tim asked. + +The white car winked at Tim and said, "Yes, but you must be very careful and always follow the rules." Tim was excited and promised to be careful. They drove around the neighborhood, and everyone was amazed to see a talking white car. + +As they drove, Tim saw a cat crossing the street. He stopped the car and waited for the cat to pass. The white car was happy that Tim was careful. They became good friends and always had fun together. The moral of the story is to always be careful and follow the rules, especially when driving. +Once upon a time, there was a little red car. The car was very thin. The car liked to drive fast. One day, the car went for a drive with its friend, the blue car. + +The little red car said, "I am low on fuel. I need to get more." The blue car said, "Let's go to the fuel shop together!" So, they went to the fuel shop to get more fuel. + +At the fuel shop, the little red car realized it had no money. The blue car said, "Don't worry, I will help you!" The blue car gave the red car some money for fuel. The little red car was very happy and thanked the blue car. They both drove away, happy and full of fuel. +Once upon a time, there was a loud bird who liked to talk all day. It lived in a big tree near a small house. The bird had many friends who came to visit and talk with him. + +One day, a thief came to the house. He wanted to take things that were not his. The loud bird saw the thief and started to talk very loud. "Thief! Thief!" the bird shouted. The bird's friends heard him and came to help. + +The friends made loud noises too.

They saw a big building. Lucy asked, "Mom, what is that?" Her mom said, "That is a church, Lucy." Lucy wanted to know more.

She asked a nice lady, "Can I sing with you?" The lady said, "Of course, Lucy! Come and join us." + +Lucy, her mom, and the nice lady sang songs together in the church. They all felt very happy.

He laughed and said, "I love mud!" + +A small, fearful bird watched Tim from a tree. The bird was scared of the mud. It thought the mud would wrap around it and not let go. The bird said, "I don't like mud. It's too messy." + +Tim heard the bird and wanted to help. He said, "Don't be scared, bird! Mud is fun!" Tim showed the bird how to make mud pies. The bird watched and saw that the mud did not wrap around Tim. + +The bird flew down and tried to make a mud pie too. It was not fearful anymore. The bird said, "Thank you, Tim! Mud is fun after all!" + +From that day on, Tim and the bird played in the mud together. They were not fearful of the mud, and they had lots of fun making mud pies. +Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Tim. Tim liked to keep a toy lightning in his pocket. He took it everywhere he went. The toy lightning was small and shiny, and it made Tim feel happy. + +One day, Tim wanted to be successful in a race at school. He knew his toy lightning would help him. So, he put it in his pocket and went to the race. All the kids lined up, and when the race started, they all ran as fast as they could. + +Tim ran and ran, thinking of his toy lightning. He felt strong and fast.

Billy loved to eat berries. One day, he saw a new kind of berry on a bush. It was a big, red berry. Billy wanted to eat it, but he was not sure if it was good to eat. + +Billy went to his friend, Mr. Owl, and said, "Mr. Owl, I found a new berry. Can you tell me if it is good to eat?" Mr. Owl looked at the berry and said, "I recommend you not eat that berry, Billy. It is not good for you. It can make you feel sick." + +Billy listened to Mr. Owl and did not eat the big, red berry. He went back to the bush and saw a squirrel trying to eat the berry. Billy said to the squirrel, "Don't eat that berry! Mr. Owl said it is not good to eat. It can make you feel sick." The squirrel listened to Billy and left the berry alone. + +The next day, Billy and the squirrel saw another animal trying to eat the big, red berry. They told the animal about what Mr. Owl said, and the animal did not eat the berry. Soon, all the animals in the forest knew not to eat the big, red berry. They learned that it was stupid to eat something without knowing if it was good or bad. + +The moral of the story is to listen to wise friends and not do something that may be harmful without knowing the facts. +One day, a big fish named Bob lived near a reef. The reef was impressive with many colors. Bob had a friend named Tim, who was a small fish. + +Bob said to Tim, "I bet you can't swim around the whole reef."

He wanted to try and lean out over the branch and swing back and forth. + +He asked his mom if it was okay. She said she wasn't sure, so she asked Jack’s dad. Dad said he could try it if Jack was careful. + + Jack wrapped one end of the rope around the branch and held the other end with his hands. He leaned over the branch and felt the wind against his face. He giggled as he swung back and forth. + +Jack’s mom watched from the ground below, making sure he was safe.

What should we do?" + +The pig thought for a moment and pushed up his sleeves. He cleared his throat and declared, "I'm mighty enough to get to the zip. I'm not afraid to try!" + +The goat was very impressed, so he sat back and watched as the pig sprang up with all his might and managed to grab the zip. With one huge tug, the zip opened and the pig and the goat were able to continue their journey. + +The goat was so proud of the pig that he said, "That was so brave and mighty of you! follow me, and I'll show you a reward". + +So, the two friends went off together, with the pig leading the way.

But it was locked! The bear tried to unlock it for hours with no success. He became very frustrated. + +Then, a little bird flew down and said, "It looks like you're trying to open this cooler. Do you need some help?"The bear was so relieved that the bird was there to help him. He said yes, please! + +The bird used her tiny beak to unlock the cooler.

He quickly grabbed all the treats and felt very adventurous as he ran off with his loot. + +The end. +Once upon a time there were two kids. One was very white and the other was a different color. The white kid was very bouncy and liked to jump a lot. Every time he jumped, he would laugh out loud. + +The other kid was feeling a bit left out. He asked the white kid, “Why are you so happy all the time?†The white kid smiled and said, “I’m just so excited to be here! I just can’t help but bounce around.†+ +The other kid thought this was a good idea. He smiled and said, “Let’s both be bouncy and happy.

Peter saw some orange flowers growing from the ground and he asked what they were. + +Mommy said, "Those are called tulips. They grow from the roots beneath the soil." + +Peter asked, "What are roots?" + +Mommy rubbed his head and smiled, "Roots are like fingers that grow from the Earth. Shall we go peek and see what we can find?" + +Peter was excited and they began to walk. Soon they could see the orange roots poking out of the ground. + +Peter reached down and touched the root with his delicate hands. He was amazed at how strong it felt. He smiled at Mommy, who was already peeking at deeper roots that were hidden. + +Mommy said, "We can't stay long, and must leave soon, but let’s enjoy this special moment in the park. Shall we?" + +Peter nodded and they stayed to peek and explore the roots together. +One day, Jack was painting with his mom. He wanted to make something special and he was very excited. He grabbed his paintbrush and pointed to the paper, ready to create something beautiful. + +But it was hard. Jack got frustrated. He tried to make a big flower but the colors didn't look quite right. He pointed to the yellow and red paint but his mom shook her head. + +"Let's try again," said his mom. She pointed to one of his favorite colors, blue. This time, it worked and Jack got busy creating a beautiful picture. He added some stars and swirls to make it extra special. + +When Jack was done, he pointed at the picture proudly. He showed it to his mom and she smiled. "Wonderful work, Jack!" she said. + +Jack was so proud of himself. He had used the paint to make something amazing, even though it had been a bit tricky. Now he could show his friends and family his masterpiece! +Once upon a time there lived a rabbit who lived in a burrow. Every day, he made sure to take extra care when checking for food. + +One day, he noticed a hole in the side of his burrow. The hole looked too small to fit in, so the rabbit thought he would just leave it alone. + +As he continued to check the burrow for food, he heard a voice. It asked the rabbit “Would you lend me a hand?†+ +The rabbit was unsure at first and was a bit scared. He asked, “What do you need?†+ +The voice came again and said it needed to get into the burrow, then it added “You can trust me. I just need a bit of help getting in.†+ +The rabbit was still unsure and asked the voice why. The voice replied, “I promise to do no harm.†+ +The rabbit figured it was safe and so he thought, why not lend the voice a hand. He carefully reached into the hole and soon enough, the voice started coming through. + +The voice soon became a fox. The fox thanked the rabbit for lending it a hand and said “You will regret this†just before it disappeared into the burrow. + +The rabbit was too late. The fox had already gone inside. The rabbit had been too trusting and paid the price for it. +Once upon a time there was a little girl named Annabelle. She had many toys, but her favorite toy was a mail truck.

She parked the truck and got out to investigate. She saw a little mouse on the ground! + +The little mouse said in a very soft voice, "Can you please help me? I'm trying to get back home, but I'm scared I can't get there on my own." + +Annabelle smiled and said, "Of course I will. We can mail you in my truck! It will be safe." + +She picked up the mouse, put it in her truck, and drove it home. When they arrived, the mouse thanked Annabelle and ran off to his home.

As she looked closer she saw an old man playing a guitar sitting by the window. + +Lisa knocked on the door and the old man invited her in. He asked her to join him. Lisa was excited and sat down. She watched the old man play and soon the music made her forget all about time. + +When the old man was done he turned to Lisa and said, “Do you play music too?†Lisa was taken aback. She had never thought of this before. She replied, “No, but I can try.†+ +The old man smiled, handed her the guitar, and said, “Give it a try.†Lisa put her ear close to the guitar, and then began to strum. As the music filled the room, she realized something wonderful - she could make music too. + +The old man smiled and said, “You see, music is inside you all along. Now, you just have to let it out.†Lisa was so sure of herself now and she was grateful for this moment. + +Moral: We all have special things inside us that we can share with the world. It is up to +Jack was at the park with his mom. He loved playing there because it felt safe. He especially liked running around looking for sunflowers. + +On this particular day, Jack headed to the pond. The sunflowers made a bright yellow circle around the pond.

You can look at it from a distance. + +Jack looked down at the rock and admired it from a safe place. He thought it was beautiful. + +A few days later, Jack went back to the park.

I'm busy with a message!" + +Tony was sad, so he insisted that she come out and play with him. + +"You can finish the message later. Please come out, it'll be fun!" + +Mandy thought for a few moments. Finally, she reluctantly agreed to go and play. + +They had loads of fun together, running and laughing and playing silly games.

They told her one last time to clean it up, but she just lay on the floor and started crying. + +"Lucy!" her mom shouted, "You're such a spoiled girl! Why won't you listen?" + +Lucy continued to lie there, but then she had an idea! She grabbed a notebook and a pencil, and quickly started sketching a picture. When she was finished, she smiled and handed it to her parents. + +On the page was a picture of a tidy room and lots of happy toys.

The fox said, "You'd better stay here, fat cow." + +The cow pleaded with the fox, "Please, let me go! I just want to rock in the meadow again." But the fox wouldn't listen. He tied the cow to a tree, so the cow couldn't escape. + +The cow started bawling and rocking back and forth. The fox just laughed and said, "There's no escaping now, fat cow!" The cow cried and pleaded until he had wore himself out, and then he didn't rock or bawl anymore. He was stuck in the cave, hoping someone would come and help him. But no one ever did. +Once upon a time, there was a girl who wanted to write her name all over her mum's best blouse. She was so excited and she grabbed a pen and wrote her name on the blouse with a big smile. + +Her mum saw her, she was very angry and told the girl off. The girl felt scared and tried to calm down.

You are very lucky to have found it, but let's share the soup with those who need it." + +Max agreed and together they set off through the woods, searching for those in need.

She picked it up and studied it in her little hands. + +Suddenly, the wind began to blow. It was cold and made Lucy shiver. She needed to find somewhere warm. + +Then she saw a graceful little bunny hopping around the flowers. She followed it until it stopped at a cozy little house. She knocked on the door and waited. + +"Who's there?" a voice asked from inside the house. + +"It's me! Lucy!" she answered. + +"Come in!" the voice said. Lucy smiled and opened the door.

"If you stand there and wait," they said, "something special will happen. Then you'll find exactly what you've been looking for." + +Anna was curious and followed their advice. She stood under the big oak tree and waited for what seemed like forever. Finally, a tiny seed fell from the tree and landed on her mitten. Anna looked up and saw a single white feather floating down from the sky. + +The feather had grown on the wings of a beautiful snow-white bird.
