It was a big bear who was looking for food. Ben and Lily were scared and ran to their hut. They hoped the bear would not find them. + +"Shh, we have to be quiet," Ben whispered to Lily. "Maybe the bear will go away." + +Lily nodded and hugged her brother. They waited and waited, but the bear did not leave. He smelled their hut and started to scratch it with his claws. + +"Help, help!" Ben and Lily cried. "The bear is breaking our hut!" + +Their cries reached their father, who was nearby. He ran to the forest with a stick and scared the bear away. He hugged his children and took them home. + +"Are you okay, my darlings?" he asked. "Why did you go to the forest alone? It is dangerous. There are wild animals there." + +Ben and Lily felt sorry and told their father about their secret spot. They said they liked to play there, but they did not know there was a bear. + +Their father smiled and said, "I understand, but you have to be careful. The forest is not a safe place for children. You should always tell me where you are going and never go too far. And if you see a bear, you should run away and call for help. Do you promise?" + +Ben and Lily nodded and said, "We promise, daddy. We are sorry. We love you." + +Their father kissed them and said, "I love you too. Now, let's go inside and rest. You had a big adventure today." + +Ben and Lily learned their lesson. They never went to the forest alone again. They still played in their hut, but only with their father's permission and supervision. They were happy and safe. +Ben and Lily were best friends. They liked to play in the park and share their toys. But one day, Lily had a secret. She did not tell Ben what it was. She only smiled and said, "You will see soon." + +Ben was curious. He wanted to know Lily's secret. He asked her many times, but she always said, "No, no, no. It is a surprise." Ben felt sad and angry. He did not like surprises. He wanted to share everything with Lily. + +The next day, Lily came to the park with a big box. She said to Ben, "This is my secret. Do you want to see it?" Ben nodded. He hoped it was something fun and nice. But when Lily opened the box, Ben saw a dull and ugly doll. It had no hair, no eyes, and no clothes. It looked scary and old. + +Ben frowned. He did not like the doll. He said to Lily, "Why did you keep this as a secret? It is not a good toy. It is a bad toy. I do not want to play with it." + +Lily looked hurt. She said to Ben, "But this is my grandma's doll. She gave it to me before she went away. She said it was very special and precious. She said it was a friend for me. I wanted to show you because you are my friend too." + +Ben felt sorry. He did not know that Lily's grandma went away. He did not know that the doll was special and precious. He said to Lily, "I am sorry, Lily. I did not mean to hurt you. I did not know about your grandma and your doll. Can we still be friends?" + +Lily smiled. She said to Ben, "Yes, we can still be friends. And you can play with my doll if you want. Maybe you will like it more if you give it a name and a hug." + +Ben nodded. He took the doll and gave it a name and a hug. He said to Lily, "Thank you, Lily. You are a good friend. And your doll is not so dull and ugly. It is special and precious. Just like you." +Sara loves to bake with her mom. They make cookies, cakes, and pies. Sara likes to mix the flour, sugar, and eggs. She also likes to lick the spoon. + +One day, Sara and her mom are baking a cake for dad's birthday. Sara helps mom pour the batter into the pan.

You always listen to my voice and do what I say," mom says. + +They make the frosting with butter, sugar, and vanilla. Sara adds some sprinkles and some candles.

They liked to make up stories and pretend they were on adventures. + +One day, they found a strange button on the wall. It was red and shiny and had a picture of a star on it. Lila wondered what it did. She reached out and pressed it. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud noise and felt a weird feeling. They looked around and saw that everything was bigger. The couch, the table, the lamp, even their toys. They had shrunk! + +"Wow, we are so small!" Max said. "This is cool!" + +"No, this is scary!" Lila said. "How do we get back to normal?" + +They tried to find the button again, but it was too high. They had to climb on the gear and jump from one to another. It was hard and dangerous. They almost fell several times. + +They wished they had not pressed the button. They wished they were calm and safe again. + +They saw their mom coming into the living room. She did not see them. She was carrying a big basket of laundry. She put it on the couch, right next to the button. + +"Mom, mom, help us!" Lila and Max shouted. But their voices were too tiny. Mom did not hear them. + +They saw a chance to reach the button. They jumped on the basket and climbed on the clothes. They hoped mom would not move them. + +They finally got to the button. They pushed it together with all their strength. + +They heard the loud noise and felt the weird feeling again. They looked around and saw that everything was normal. They had grown back! + +They were so happy and relieved. They hugged each other and ran to mom. They told her what happened. She did not believe them. She thought they were just playing. + +They did not mind. They knew it was true. They decided to never press the button again. They learned their lesson. They were happy with their gear and their stories. They did not need to shrink. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play at school. One day, they have a new teacher. Her name is Miss Lee. She is nice and kind. + +Miss Lee tells the class to sit at their desks. She gives them some papers and crayons. She says, "You can draw anything you want. Be creative and have fun." + +Lily and Ben are happy. They love to draw. They start to make colorful pictures. Lily draws a big flower. Ben draws a fast car. They smile at each other. + +But some kids are not nice. They laugh at Lily and Ben. They say, "Your pictures are silly. Flowers are for girls. Cars are for boys. You don't know how to draw." + +Lily and Ben feel sad. They don't like the mean words. They look at their pictures. They think they are bad. + +Miss Lee sees them. She walks to their desks. She says, "What's wrong, Lily and Ben? Why are you sad?" + +Lily and Ben tell her what the mean kids said. Miss Lee says, "Don't listen to them. Your pictures are beautiful. Flowers and cars are for everyone. You know how to draw very well. You are creative and have fun. That's what matters." + +Miss Lee shows their pictures to the class. She says, "Look at these wonderful pictures. Lily and Ben are good artists. They use different colors and shapes. They express their feelings and ideas. They are proud of their work. Can you clap for them?" + +The class claps for Lily and Ben. They feel happy again. They smile at Miss Lee. They say, "Thank you, Miss Lee. You are a good teacher. You are nice and kind." + +Miss Lee smiles back. She says, "You're welcome, Lily and Ben. You are good students. You are nice and kind too." + +The moral of the story is: Be creative and have fun. Don't let others make you feel bad. Be proud of yourself. Be nice and kind to others. +Lily liked to play with her dad's office things. She liked the pens, the papers, the stapler and the scissors. She liked to make drawings and cut them out. Sometimes, she pretended to be a teacher or a doctor or a chef. + +One day, she found a big box in the office. It had a picture of a robot on it. Lily was curious. She opened the box and saw a lot of pieces. She wanted to make the robot. She took out the pieces and tried to put them together. + +"Dad, can you help me?" she asked. + +"Sure, Lily. What are you doing?" her dad said. He came to the office and saw the box and the pieces. + +"I want to make the robot. It looks cool," Lily said. + +"OK, but this is not a toy, Lily. This is a special machine that can change things. It can make things bigger or smaller or different. You have to be careful with it," her dad said. + +"How does it work?" Lily asked. + +"Well, you have to put the pieces together in the right way. Then you have to plug it in and turn it on. Then you have to put something in the slot and press the button. Then the machine will change it," her dad said. + +"Can we try it?" Lily asked. + +"OK, but only with something small and safe. How about this paper clip?" her dad said. He took a paper clip and put it in the slot. He pressed the button. The machine made a noise and a light. Then it spat out the paper clip. + +"Wow!" Lily said. She picked up the paper clip. It was not the same. It was bigger and stronger and shiny. It looked like a bracelet. + +"See? The machine changed it. It made it bigger and stronger and shiny. Do you like it?" her dad said. + +"I love it! Can I keep it?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, you can keep it. But remember, Lily, you can't play with the machine by yourself. It can be dangerous. You have to ask me first, OK?" her dad said. + +"OK, dad. Thank you for helping me. You are the best," Lily said. She hugged her dad and put the bracelet on her wrist. She felt happy and proud. She had a new toy and a new friend. The machine that could change things. +One day, a hunter went to the forest to look for animals. He had a big gun and a loud voice. He wanted to find an impressive animal to take home. + +He saw a deer with big horns and a brown coat. He pointed his gun at the deer and shouted, "I got you, deer! You are mine!" + +But the deer was not afraid. He saw the hunter and ran away very fast. He jumped over rocks and trees and streams. He was very smart and brave. + +The hunter was angry. He ran after the deer, but he could not catch him. He tripped over a root and fell to the ground. He dropped his gun and it broke. + +The deer stopped and looked back. He saw the hunter on the ground, with no gun and no voice. He felt sorry for the hunter. He walked to the hunter and said, "Why do you want to hurt me, hunter? I did nothing to you. We can be friends, if you want." + +The hunter was surprised. He had never heard a deer talk before. He looked at the deer and saw his impressive horns and his kind eyes. He felt ashamed. He said, "I'm sorry, deer. I was wrong. I don't want to hurt you. I want to be your friend, too." + +The deer smiled and nodded. He helped the hunter get up and gave him a lick on the cheek. The hunter smiled and hugged the deer. They became friends and walked together in the forest. They did not scream or shout anymore. They talked and listened and learned from each other. +Sam and Lily were playing with their toy vehicles in the garden. Sam had a big red truck and Lily had a small yellow car. They made noises as they drove them on the grass and the dirt. + +"Beep beep! Move out of the way, truck!" Lily said, pretending to speak like her car. + +"Vroom vroom! No, you move, car! I am bigger and stronger!" Sam said, pretending to speak like his truck. + +They bumped their vehicles together and laughed. They liked to play pretend. + +Then they saw a real vehicle on the street. It was not a regular vehicle. It was long and white and had a blue light on top. It made a loud sound like a siren. + +"Woo woo! What is that?" Sam asked, pointing at the vehicle. + +"I don't know. It looks like a big car, but different," Lily said, squinting her eyes. + +They ran to the fence and watched the vehicle go by. It stopped at a house across the street. Two people in white clothes got out of the vehicle and went inside the house. They had a big bag with them. + +"Maybe they are doctors. Maybe someone is sick," Lily guessed. + +"Maybe they are helpers. Maybe someone needs help," Sam said. + +They hoped the people in the white clothes would make the person in the house feel better. They waved at them when they came out of the house and got back in the vehicle. + +"Bye bye, helpers!" Sam and Lily shouted. + +The people in the white clothes smiled and waved back. They drove away with the siren on. + +"Wow, that was exciting," Sam said. + +"Yeah, that was cool," Lily agreed. + +They went back to playing with their toy vehicles. They pretended they were helpers too. They drove their vehicles around the garden and helped each other. They had fun. +Tom and Jen are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big ball on the grass. Tom says, "Let's play with the ball. It looks fun." Jen says, "No, Tom. The ball is not ours. We should not take it. That is the law." + +Tom does not listen to Jen. He runs to the ball and kicks it hard. The ball flies in the air and hits a man. The man is angry. He shouts, "Hey, you! Why did you kick my ball? That is not nice. That is not the law." + +Tom is scared. He says, "I'm sorry, sir. I did not mean to hurt you. I just wanted to play." The man says, "Sorry is not enough. You have to pay for my ball. It is very expensive. Give me your money." Tom says, "But I have no money. I am just a kid." + +The man says, "Then I will take your toy. Give me your car." Tom loves his car. It is his favorite toy. He does not want to give it to the man. He says, "No, please. Not my car. It is mine. You can't have it." The man says, "Too bad. You have to learn the law. You can't take what is not yours. Now give me your car or I will call the police." + +Tom cries. He has no choice. He gives his car to the man. The man takes the car and walks away. He does not say thank you. He does not say sorry. He is not thoughtful. He is mean. + +Jen comes to Tom. She hugs him. She says, "I'm sorry, Tom. That was not fair. You made a mistake, but the man was too harsh. He should have been more thoughtful. He should have followed the law too." Tom says, "I know, Jen. I wish I had listened to you. You are a good friend. You are thoughtful. But now I have no car. I have nothing." Jen says, "You have me, Tom. I am your friend. I will always be with you. Maybe we can find another toy to play with. Maybe we can make one. Maybe we can be happy again." Tom says, "Maybe, Jen. Maybe." But he is not sure. He is sad. He misses his car. He misses his fun. He misses the law. The end. +Ben and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big slide. Ben wants to go on the slide. He says to Lily, "Let's go on the slide. It looks fun." + +Lily is scared of the slide. She says to Ben, "No, I don't want to go. The slide is too high. I will fall." + +Ben says, "Don't be scared. I will go first. You can watch me. Then you can go after me. It will be easy." + +Ben runs to the slide. He climbs up the steps. He sits on the top. He smiles at Lily. He says, "Look, Lily. I am on the slide. I am not scared. Are you ready?" + +Lily shakes her head. She is still scared. She looks pale. She says, "No, Ben. I am not ready. I don't want to go. Please come down." + +Ben says, "OK, Lily. I will come down. But you are missing the fun. The slide is not scary. It is fun. Maybe next time you will try." + +Ben slides down. He laughs. He feels happy. He runs to Lily. He hugs her. He says, "It's OK, Lily. I am your friend. I will not make you go on the slide. But maybe next time you will want to go. It is fun, I promise." + +Lily hugs him back. She says, "Thank you, Ben. You are a good friend. Maybe next time I will go on the slide. But only if you go with me." + +Ben says, "OK, Lily. I will go with you. We can go together. We can have fun together. We are friends." + +They hold hands. They walk to the swings. They play on the swings. They are happy. They are friends. +Tim and Jen are twins. They like to play with paper and scissors. They cut paper into shapes and make animals and flowers. They have a big box of paper and scissors in their room. + +One day, they hear a loud noise outside. They look out the window and see a big balloon. The balloon is red and yellow and has a basket. There are people in the basket. They wave at Tim and Jen. Tim and Jen wave back. + +"Wow, look at the balloon!" Tim says. "It is so big and bright!" + +"I want to go in the balloon!" Jen says. "It looks fun!" + +The balloon rises higher and higher in the sky. It becomes smaller and smaller. It goes to a distant place. Tim and Jen can't see it anymore. + +"Bye, balloon!" Tim says. "Maybe we can see you again!" + +"Maybe we can make a balloon with paper and scissors!" Jen says. "We can pretend to fly!" + +They run to their box of paper and scissors. They start to cut and glue. They make a balloon with paper and scissors. They hang it from the ceiling. They get in a basket they find in the kitchen. They pretend to fly in their balloon. They have fun. +One day, Tom and Mia went to play in the woods. They liked to run, jump and climb on the trees. They saw a big hole in the ground. It was a cave. They wanted to see what was inside. + +"Let's go in the cave," Tom said. + +"OK, but be careful," Mia said. + +They held hands and walked into the cave. It was dark and cold. They saw some rocks and some bats. They heard some water dripping. They felt scared. + +"Can we go back now?" Mia asked. + +"Yes, let's go," Tom said. + +But when they tried to go out, they saw a big bear blocking the way. The bear was angry and hungry. It growled and showed its teeth. + +"Freeze!" Tom whispered. "Don't move or make noise. Maybe the bear will go away." + +They stood still and quiet. They hoped the bear would not see them or smell them. They wished they were back in the woods, where it was mild and sunny. + +The bear sniffed the air and looked around. It did not see Tom and Mia. It was not interested in the cave. It wanted to find some honey or berries. It turned around and walked away. + +Tom and Mia saw the bear leave. They felt relieved and happy. + +"Let's run!" Tom said. + +They ran out of the cave as fast as they could. They did not look back. They reached the woods and hugged each other. + +"We are safe!" Mia said. + +"Never again!" Tom said. + +They went back to their home and told their mom and dad what happened. They learned a lesson. They would never go into a cave again. They would only play in the woods, where it was mild and fun. +Lily and Ben were very hungry. They wanted a snack. They looked in the kitchen, but they could not find anything. They saw a big jar on the top shelf. It had a label that said "Cookies". + +"Look, Ben, cookies!" Lily said. "Let's get them!" + +"But they are too high, Lily. We can't reach them," Ben said. + +Lily had an idea. She saw a chair and a stool. She pushed the chair to the shelf. She put the stool on the chair. She climbed on the stool. + +"I can solve this, Ben. I can get the cookies," she said. + +She reached for the jar. But the jar was very heavy. It slipped from her hand. It fell down. It broke on the floor. The cookies spilled everywhere. The noise was enormous. + +"Uh-oh," Lily said. + +Mom and Dad heard the noise. They ran to the kitchen. They saw the mess. They saw Lily and Ben. They were very angry. + +"Lily and Ben, what have you done?" Mom said. "You could have hurt yourselves. You made a big mess. You wasted the cookies. You are in big trouble." + +Lily and Ben felt very sorry. They wished they had not tried to get the cookies. They wished they had asked Mom and Dad for a snack. They had no snack. They had no cookies. They had to clean up the mess. They had to go to their room. They had a bad ending. +Lily and Tom are playing with a big box. They like to pretend it is a car, a house, or a spaceship. They take turns to be the driver, the owner, or the captain. They use a spoon as a handle to open and close the box. + +One day, they find a new thing in the box. It is a shiny ball that can change colors. When they touch it, it turns red, blue, green, or yellow. They think it is very funny and want to play with it. + +"Look, Tom, it is red now!" Lily says, holding the ball. + +"Wow, let me see!" Tom says, reaching for the ball. + +But when he touches it, it changes to blue. He is surprised and laughs. + +"Ha ha, it is blue now!" he says, passing the ball to Lily. + +But when she touches it, it changes to green. She is amazed and giggles. + +"Hee hee, it is green now!" she says, giving the ball to Tom. + +But when he touches it, it changes to yellow. He is delighted and chuckles. + +"Ho ho, it is yellow now!" he says, throwing the ball to Lily. + +They keep playing with the ball, watching it change colors. They have a lot of fun with their new toy. They forget about the box and the spoon. They only want to see the funny ball. +Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to go on the swings and the slide. They also liked to make messages with sticks and stones on the ground. They wrote their names and drew hearts and stars. + +One day, they saw a big box near the fence. It was brown and had a red ribbon on it. They wondered what was inside. They ran to the box and tried to open it, but it was too hard. + +"Maybe we need to push it," Ben said. + +"OK, let's push it together," Lily said. + +They pushed and pushed, but the box did not move. They pushed harder and harder, but the box still did not move. They were tired and sad. + +"Maybe it is not for us," Ben said. + +"Maybe it is for someone else," Lily said. + +They decided to leave the box alone and go back to their messages. They wrote "sorry" and "bye" on the ground with sticks and stones. They hoped the person who owned the box would not be angry. + +The next day, they came back to the park. They saw the box was still there, but it was open. Inside, there were many toys and books and candies. There was also a note that said "To Ben and Lily, thank you for being so kind and not breaking my box. I am grateful for your messages. They made me happy. Please enjoy these gifts. Your friend, Sam." + +Ben and Lily were surprised and happy. They smiled and hugged each other. They took some toys and books and candies and left some for Sam. They also wrote a new message on the ground with sticks and stones. They wrote "thank you" and "friend" and drew a big smiley face. They hoped Sam would see it and be happy too. +Sara likes to read novels. Novels are big books with many words and pictures. Sara has many novels in her room. She likes to match the novels with her toys. She puts the novel about animals next to her stuffed lion. She puts the novel about princesses next to her pink dress. She puts the novel about space next to her rocket. + +One day, Sara's brother Tom comes to her room. Tom is older than Sara. He likes to play with cars and balls. He does not like novels. He thinks they are boring. He sees Sara's novels and toys. He says, "What are you doing, Sara? Why do you have so many novels? They are not fun. You should play with something else." + +Sara feels sad. She likes her novels. She says, "I am matching my novels with my toys. It is fun. I like to read the stories and look at the pictures. They make me happy. You should try it, Tom. Maybe you will like it too." + +Tom shakes his head. He says, "No, thank you. I don't like novels. They are too serious. They have too many words and no games. I like to play with cars and balls. They are fun. They make me happy. You should try it, Sara. Maybe you will like it too." + +Sara and Tom look at each other. They do not understand why they like different things. They do not know how to play together. They feel sad. They wish they could find something they both like. They wonder if there is a novel about cars and balls. They wonder if there is a toy that can read and play. They wonder if they can match their fun. +Sara and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run, jump and slide. They had a lot of fun. But they also got very hot and sweaty. They needed some water. + +They saw a fountain near the trees. They ran to the fountain and drank some water. They felt better. They saw a bench next to the fountain. They decided to sit on the bench and rest for a while. + +They leaned on each other and closed their eyes. They were very tired. They did not hear the buzzing sound. They did not feel the tiny bites. They did not know that a mosquito was biting them. + +The mosquito was very happy. It found two tasty snacks. It drank some blood from Sara's arm. It drank some blood from Ben's leg. It was full and satisfied. It flew away. + +Sara and Ben woke up. They felt itchy. They looked at their arms and legs. They saw red bumps. They said, "Ouch! What is this?" They did not like the bumps. They did not like the mosquito. They wished they had a spray. They got up and ran to their mom. They wanted some help. They wanted some hug. +Mia and Leo were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They gave him a carrot nose and two rocks for eyes. They were very happy. + +"Look, Leo, our snowman is so nice!" Mia said. + +"Yes, he is, Mia. But he looks cold. Let's give him a hug!" Leo said. + +They ran to the snowman and wrapped their arms around him. They squeezed him very hard. They wanted to make him warm and happy. + +But the snowman did not like it. He felt too much squeeze. He felt his nose and his eyes fall off. He felt his body break into pieces. He was very sad. + +"Stop! Stop! You are hurting me!" the snowman said. + +Mia and Leo were surprised. They did not know the snowman could talk. They let go of him and stepped back. + +"Sorry, Mr. Snowman. We did not mean to hurt you. We wanted to hug you," Mia said. + +"Hugging is nice, but not for snowmen. Snowmen need cold, not squeeze. Squeeze makes snowmen melt. Melting is bad for snowmen," the snowman said. + +"Oh, we did not know that. We are sorry, Mr. Snowman. Can we fix you?" Leo asked. + +"Maybe you can, but you have to be gentle. And you have to be quick. The sun is coming out. The sun is worse than squeeze. The sun makes snowmen disappear. Disappearing is very rare for snowmen, but very sad," the snowman said. + +Mia and Leo nodded. They quickly picked up the carrot, the rocks, and the snow. They put them back on the snowman. They made him look nice again. They did not hug him, but they smiled at him. + +"Thank you, Mia and Leo. You are very kind. But you have to go now. The sun is getting stronger. I have to say goodbye. Goodbye, Mia and Leo. I hope you have fun in the snow," the snowman said. + +"Goodbye, Mr. Snowman. Thank you for talking to us. We hope you stay cold and happy," Mia and Leo said. + +They waved at the snowman and ran back to their house. They were very amazed. They had met a rare snowman who could talk. They would never forget him. +Tommy liked to wave at the birds in the park. He liked their colors and their songs. He wanted to have a bird of his own. One day, he saw a man selling birdcages at the corner. He ran to the man and asked, "Can I have a bird, please?" + +The man smiled and said, "Sure, kid. You can have this one. It's a parrot. It can talk and learn new words. It's very smart and friendly." He handed Tommy a big birdcage with a green and red parrot inside. + +Tommy was very happy. He thanked the man and took the birdcage. He waved at the parrot and said, "Hello, parrot. I'm Tommy. You're my new friend." The parrot looked at Tommy and said, "Hello, Tommy. I'm Polly. You're my new friend." + +Tommy carried the birdcage to his home. He wanted to show his mom and dad his new friend. He walked fast and excited. He did not see the big dog that was chasing a cat. The dog saw Tommy and the birdcage. He thought it was a toy. He barked and ran to Tommy. + +Tommy was scared. He did not like dogs. He did not want the dog to hurt his parrot. He tried to run away, but the dog was faster. The dog jumped and bit the birdcage. The birdcage broke and the parrot flew out. + +Tommy cried. He lost his new friend. He shouted, "Polly, Polly, come back!" The parrot heard Tommy and flew back. He landed on Tommy's shoulder and said, "Don't cry, Tommy. I'm here. I'm your friend. The dog is gone." + +Tommy hugged the parrot and smiled. He was happy again. He said, "Thank you, Polly. You're the best friend ever." The parrot said, "You're welcome, Tommy. You're the best friend ever." They waved at the dog and the cat and went to Tommy's home. +Anna and Ben were at the beach with their mom and dad. They liked to play in the sand and look for shells. Sometimes they saw fish and crabs in the water. They were very happy. + +One day, they saw something big and gray in the water. It was a whale! The whale was swimming and blowing water from its nose. Anna and Ben were amazed. They wanted to see the whale closer. + +"Can we go to the whale, mom?" Anna asked. + +"No, sweetie, the whale is too far and too big. We have to stay on the shore," mom said. + +"But the whale is harmless, right?" Ben asked. + +"Yes, the whale is harmless. It does not want to hurt us. It is just looking for food and friends," dad said. + +Anna and Ben nodded. They watched the whale for a long time. They waved and shouted hello to the whale. The whale seemed to hear them. It waved its tail and made a loud sound. + +"Wow, the whale said hello back!" Anna said. + +"That's so cool!" Ben said. + +They smiled and clapped. They felt a connection with the whale. They hoped the whale was happy too. + +Soon, the whale swam away. Anna and Ben were sad to see it go. They wanted to play with the whale more. + +"Maybe we will see the whale again someday," mom said. + +"Maybe," Anna and Ben said. + +They hugged their mom and dad. They thanked them for taking them to the beach. They wiped the sand from their hands and feet. They packed their things and left. They looked back at the water and waved goodbye to the whale. They hoped the whale would remember them too. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play together. Today they want to dress up as farmers. They find some old hats and shirts in the closet. They also take a basket and some corn from the kitchen. + +"Look, we are farmers!" Anna says. "We have corn to sell at the market." + +"Yes, we do!" Ben says. "But first we have to feed the chickens and the cows." + +They go outside and pretend to feed the animals. They make clucking and mooing sounds. They have fun. + +But then they see a big dog. The dog is not friendly. He barks and runs towards them. He wants the corn. + +"Help! Help!" Anna and Ben shout. "The dog is chasing us!" + +They drop the basket and the corn. They run back to the house. The dog eats the corn. + +They are scared and sad. They hug each other. + +"Dressing up as farmers is difficult," Anna says. + +"Yes, it is," Ben says. "Maybe we can try something else tomorrow." +Lily was a tall girl who liked to play with her purse. She had many things in her purse, like a doll, a book, and a candy. One day, she went to the park with her mom and her little brother, Ben. + +Ben was a naughty boy who liked to take Lily's things. He saw her purse and wanted to have it. He waited until Lily was busy on the swing and then he grabbed her purse and ran away. He hid behind a tree and opened the purse. He saw the candy and ate it. He did not care about the doll or the book. + +Lily got off the swing and looked for her purse. She could not find it anywhere. She felt sad and angry. She asked her mom, "Mom, where is my purse? I want my purse!" + +Mom said, "I don't know, Lily. Did you leave it somewhere?" + +Lily said, "No, I had it with me. Maybe someone took it. Maybe Ben took it. He always takes my things." + +Mom said, "Let's go and look for Ben. Maybe he knows where your purse is." + +They walked around the park and saw Ben behind the tree. He had Lily's purse in his hands. He had chocolate on his face. He looked guilty. + +Lily shouted, "Ben, you took my purse! You ate my candy! That's not nice! Give me back my purse!" + +Ben said, "No, it's mine now. You can't have it. Go away!" + +Lily and Ben started to fight over the purse. They pulled and tugged and yelled. Mom came and stopped them. She said, "Stop it, both of you! Fighting is not the way to solve problems. Ben, you should not take Lily's purse without asking. That's stealing. Lily, you should not hit Ben. That's hurting. You need to share and be kind to each other. Now, say sorry and hug." + +Ben and Lily said sorry and hugged. They felt sorry for what they did. They decided to share the purse and the things in it. They played together nicely. They learned their lesson. Mom was happy. The purse did not vanish anymore. +Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to eat toast with jam for breakfast. But there is only one jar of jam left in the kitchen. Tom and Sam both want the jam. They start to fight over the jar. + +"Give me the jam, Tom! I saw it first!" Sam says. + +"No, it is mine, Sam! I am older and bigger!" Tom says. + +They pull and push the jar. The jar falls on the floor. The jam spills everywhere. Tom and Sam stop fighting. They look at the mess. They feel sad and sorry. + +"Mom is going to be very angry with us," Tom says. + +"We wasted the jam. Jam is important. It is yummy and sweet," Sam says. + +They hear Mom coming. They are afraid. They hug each other. + +"Mom, we are sorry. We fought over the jam. We made a big mess. Can you forgive us?" they say together. + +Mom sees the jam on the floor. She is not happy. But she sees Tom and Sam hugging. She smiles a little. + +"I am glad you are sorry. Fighting is not nice. Sharing is better. Jam is important, but not as important as love. I love you both. Now, let's clean up this mess and have some cereal instead," she says. + +Tom and Sam nod. They help Mom clean up the jam. They say sorry to each other. They eat cereal and hug Mom. They learn a lesson. They do not fight over jam again. +Anna and Ben like to play with blocks. They have many blocks of different colors and shapes. They can build many things with blocks, like houses, towers, bridges and cars. + +One day, they decide to build a long line with blocks. They start from one end of the room and put one block after another. They use red blocks, blue blocks, yellow blocks and green blocks. They make the line go around the table, under the chair, over the rug and to the other end of the room. + +They are very happy with their line. They think it is the best line ever. They show their line to their mom and dad. Mom and dad are proud of them. They say, "Wow, what a great line! You are very good at building!" + +Anna and Ben smile. They say, "Thank you, mom and dad. We like to build. We like to play with blocks. We are humble. We share our blocks and help each other." + +Mom and dad hug them. They say, "We love you, Anna and Ben. You are humble and kind. You are our sweet children." +Lily liked to go to the museum with her dad. She liked to see the big animals and the shiny rocks. But there was one thing she did not like. She did not like the skeleton room. The skeleton room had bones of animals and people. They looked scary and sad. + +One day, her dad said they would go to the museum again. Lily was happy, but she hoped they would not go to the skeleton room. She wanted to see the fish and the birds and the flowers. But when they got to the museum, her dad said they had a new display. He said it was very cool and they should see it. + +Lily followed her dad to the new display. She was curious and excited. But when she saw what it was, she felt miserable. It was a big skeleton of a dinosaur. It had sharp teeth and claws and a long tail. It looked like it could eat her. Lily was afraid and wanted to go away. + +She tugged on her dad's hand and said, "Dad, I don't like the skeleton. It is scary and mean. Can we go see something else?" + +Her dad looked at her and smiled. He said, "Lily, I know the skeleton looks scary, but it is not mean. It is not alive. It is just bones. The bones tell us what the dinosaur looked like and how it lived. It is very interesting and amazing. Do you want to learn more about it?" + +Lily shook her head and said, "No, thank you. I don't want to learn about the skeleton. I want to learn about the fish and the birds and the flowers. They are pretty and nice. Can we go see them?" + +Her dad nodded and said, "Okay, Lily. We can go see the fish and the birds and the flowers. But maybe next time, you can give the skeleton a chance. Maybe you will find out that it is not so scary after all. Maybe you will find out that it is cool and awesome." + +Lily thought about it and said, "Maybe, dad. Maybe next time. But not today. Today, I want to see the fish and the birds and the flowers." + +Her dad hugged her and said, "Okay, Lily. Let's go see the fish and the birds and the flowers. I love you, Lily." + +Lily hugged him back and said, "I love you, dad." +Anna and Ben were friends who liked to play with blocks. They built towers and bridges and houses with their blocks. Sometimes they shared their blocks and sometimes they wanted their own blocks. + +One day, they decided to make a zigzag with their blocks. A zigzag is a shape that goes this way and that way, like a snake. Anna and Ben each took some blocks and started to make their own zigzag. But soon they ran out of blocks and wanted more. + +"Give me some blocks!" Anna said to Ben. + +"No, these are my blocks!" Ben said to Anna. + +They both got angry and started to pull and push the blocks. Their zigzags broke and the blocks fell to the floor. They both cried and shouted. + +Mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw the broken zigzags and the crying children. She was not happy. + +"What are you doing?" Mom asked. "Why are you fighting over the blocks?" + +"Because we wanted to make a zigzag!" Anna and Ben said. + +"But you have so many blocks! You can make a zigzag together!" Mom said. "Why don't you share and help each other?" + +Anna and Ben looked at each other. They felt sorry for being mean and breaking their zigzags. They said sorry to each other and hugged. + +"OK, Mom, we will share and help each other!" Anna and Ben said. + +Mom smiled and gave them a big clap. "That's very good! Sharing and helping are nice things to do. You can make a better zigzag together than alone!" + +Anna and Ben nodded and picked up the blocks. They started to make a new zigzag, this time together. They took turns and gave each other blocks. They made a big and beautiful zigzag that went all around the room. They were happy and proud of their zigzag. + +"Look, Mom, we made a zigzag!" Anna and Ben said. + +Mom came and saw their zigzag. She was very proud of them. She gave them another big clap and a hug. + +"Wow, what a wonderful zigzag! You did a great job! I'm so happy that you are playing nicely together!" Mom said. + +Anna and Ben smiled and thanked Mom. They felt peaceful and happy. They learned that sharing and helping are better than fighting and breaking. They decided to play with their blocks and their zigzag every day. +Lily and Tom are hungry. They want to eat lunch. Mom is in the kitchen. She is cooking soup for them. + +"Mom, is the soup ready?" Lily asks. + +"Not yet, my dear. It needs to cook well. Then it will be yummy and hot." Mom says. + +Lily and Tom wait. They play with their toys. They hear the pot bubbling. They smell the soup. It smells good. + +"Mom, can we help you?" Tom asks. + +"Sure, you can. You can set the table. You can get the spoons and the bowls and the napkins." Mom says. + +Lily and Tom are happy. They run to the table. They get the things they need. They put them on the table. They are ready to eat. + +"Soup is ready!" Mom says. She brings the pot to the table. She fills the bowls with soup. She gives one to Lily and one to Tom. + +"Thank you, Mom!" Lily and Tom say. + +"You're welcome, my loves. Enjoy your soup. Be careful, it's hot." Mom says. + +Lily and Tom blow on their soup. They sip it slowly. It is yummy and hot. They eat it all. They are full and happy. They hug Mom. + +"Mom, you cook well. We love your soup." Lily and Tom say. + +"I love you, too. You are my sweeties." Mom says. +Lily and Tom are twins. They like to play with their toys. One day, they find a big box in the living room. It has a bow and a tag. The tag says: "To Lily and Tom, from Grandma and Grandpa. Happy birthday!" + +They open the box and see a big dollhouse. It has many rooms and furniture and people. Lily and Tom are very happy. They say: "Wow! Thank you, Grandma and Grandpa! This is the best gift ever!" + +They start to play with the dollhouse. Lily likes the kitchen and the bedroom. She pretends to cook and sleep. Tom likes the garage and the living room. He pretends to drive and watch TV. They have fun. + +But then, they see a small light in the attic. It is shining and blinking. They are curious. They want to see what it is. They climb the stairs and reach the attic. They see a small star. It is very bright and beautiful. + +Lily says: "Look, Tom! A star! It is so pretty!" + +Tom says: "Yes, Lily! A star! It is so cool!" + +They reach for the star. But the star is hot. It burns their fingers. They say: "Ouch! That hurts!" + +They pull back their hands. They see a small note next to the star. It says: "This is a famous star. It is very special. But do not touch it. It will pinch you. It is not a toy. It is a gift from the sky." + +Lily and Tom are surprised. They say: "A famous star? A gift from the sky? Wow! That is amazing!" + +They look at the star again. They admire it. But they do not touch it. They say: "Thank you, star. You are very nice. But we will not pinch you. We will be careful." + +They go back to play with the dollhouse. They are happy. They have a famous star in their attic. They have a gift from the sky. They have a wonderful birthday. +Sara and Ben liked to play in the woods near their home. They liked to look for bugs and flowers and birds. One day, they saw a big tree with a hole in it. They wanted to see what was inside. + +"Maybe there is a nest with eggs," Sara said. + +"Or a treasure," Ben said. + +They walked to the tree and peeked inside. It was dark and quiet. They heard a soft sound, like a snore. + +"Hello?" Sara called. + +Suddenly, a pair of yellow eyes opened and stared at them. It was an owl. A big, brown owl with sharp claws and a hooked beak. The owl was not happy to see them. + +"Who are you?" the owl asked in a deep voice. + +"We are Sara and Ben. We are sorry to wake you up. We just wanted to see your home," Sara said. + +The owl looked at them with a frown. He did not like visitors. + +"This is my home. You are not welcome here. Go away, or I will scratch you," the owl said. + +He flapped his wings and made a loud noise. Sara and Ben were scared. They ran away from the tree. + +"Wait!" the owl called after them. "I have something to tell you. Something important." + +Sara and Ben stopped and turned around. They wondered what the owl wanted to say. + +"What is it?" Ben asked. + +The owl looked at them with a serious face. He wanted to warn them. + +"Be careful in the woods. There is a big, bad wolf who likes to eat children. He is hungry and sneaky. He hides behind the bushes and waits for you. Do not go too far from your home. Do not talk to strangers. Do not trust anyone who offers you candy or toys. He is not your friend. He is your enemy. Do you understand?" the owl said. + +Sara and Ben nodded. They understood. The owl was fair. He was grumpy, but he was not mean. He was trying to help them. + +"Thank you, Mr. Owl. We will be careful. We will not go near the wolf. We will listen to you," Sara said. + +The owl nodded. He was glad they listened. He hoped they would be safe. + +"Good. Now go home. And do not come back to my tree. It is my home. Not yours," the owl said. + +Sara and Ben ran back to their home. They told their mom and dad what the owl said. They hugged them and thanked them for loving them. They were happy and safe. They never went back to the owl's tree. But they always remembered his warning. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play together. One day, Anna says, "Let's visit Grandma. She has a big garden and a cat." + +Ben says, "OK. I like Grandma. She is nice and gives us cookies." + +They put on their shoes and coats and walk to Grandma's house. They knock on the door and Grandma opens it. She smiles and hugs them. + +"Hello, Anna and Ben. I'm happy to see you. Come in, it's cold outside." + +She takes them to the kitchen, where there is a jug of warm milk on the table. She pours some milk into two cups and gives them to the children. + +"Here you go. Drink some milk and warm up. I have some cookies for you too." + +Anna and Ben sip their milk and eat their cookies. They thank Grandma and tell her they love her. Then they go to the garden to play with the cat. They have a lot of fun. They are glad they visited Grandma. +Lily and Max are going to the zoo with Mom and Dad. They are very happy and excited. They want to see the lions, the monkeys, and the elephants. Mom and Dad buy four tickets at the gate. The tickets are orange and have pictures of animals on them. + +"Look, Lily, I have a ticket with a giraffe!" Max says, showing his ticket to his sister. + +"I have a ticket with a zebra!" Lily says, holding her ticket. "They have black and white stripes." + +They walk to the entrance of the zoo. A man in a blue shirt checks their tickets. He smiles and says, "Welcome to the zoo, kids. Have fun!" + +Lily and Max say, "Thank you!" and run inside. They see a big map of the zoo. It has different colors and shapes for different areas. + +"Where do you want to go first, Lily?" Max asks. + +"I want to go to the red area. It has the lions and the tigers. They are big and loud and scary!" Lily says. + +"OK, let's go to the red area. But be careful, Lily. Don't get too close to the cages. The lions and the tigers might grab you!" Max says. + +They follow the red signs to the red area. They see the lions and the tigers lying on the grass or sleeping on the rocks. They roar and growl sometimes. Lily and Max watch them from a safe distance. They are amazed and curious. + +"Wow, they are so big and strong!" Lily says. + +"Yeah, they are. But they are also beautiful and majestic!" Max says. + +They take turns holding their tickets and pretending to be lions and tigers. They make funny faces and noises. They have a lot of fun. Mom and Dad take pictures of them. They laugh and clap. + +"Good job, Lily and Max. You are very brave and creative!" Mom says. + +"Thank you, Mom. We love the zoo!" Lily and Max say. +Ben and Lily were playing with their crayons and paper. They liked to make prints of their hands and feet. They also liked to draw flowers and stars and animals. + +"Look, I made a print of my foot!" Lily said, holding up her paper. "It is big and pink and has five toes." + +"That is nice," Ben said. "But I made a print of my hand. It is small and blue and has four fingers and a thumb." + +They compared their prints and laughed. They were different but they were both good. + +Then Ben saw a scratch on Lily's arm. It was red and sore. He felt sorry for her. + +"What happened to your arm?" he asked. + +"I fell down yesterday and hurt myself," Lily said. "It was bad and it made me cry." + +Ben wanted to help her. He remembered what his mom did when he had a scratch. She put a band-aid on it and kissed it and said it would heal. + +"Wait here, I will get you a band-aid," he said. He ran to the bathroom and found a band-aid. It had a picture of a dinosaur on it. He thought Lily would like it. + +He came back and put the band-aid on Lily's arm. He kissed it and said, "There, now it will heal. And you have a dinosaur to keep you company." + +Lily smiled and hugged him. She liked the band-aid and the kiss. She felt better. + +"Thank you, Ben," she said. "You are a good friend. And you are rich in kindness." + +They went back to their prints and played some more. They were happy. +Lily was a lonely girl. She had no friends to play with. She only had her doll, Ann, and her armchair. She liked to sit on the armchair and talk to Ann. She pretended that Ann was her sister and that they had fun together. + +One day, Lily's mom said, "Lily, we have to move to a new house. You have to pack your things and say goodbye to this place." + +Lily was sad. She did not want to leave her armchair and Ann. She said, "Mom, can I take my armchair and Ann with me?" + +Mom said, "No, Lily, you can't. The armchair is too big and old. And Ann is too dirty and torn. You have to leave them here. You will get new things in the new house." + +Lily cried. She hugged her armchair and Ann. She said, "I don't want new things. I want my armchair and Ann. They are my friends. They know me. They love me." + +Mom said, "Lily, stop crying. You have to be a big girl. Come on, let's go. The truck is waiting." + +Mom pulled Lily away from her armchair and Ann. Lily screamed and kicked. She tried to get back to them. But Mom was stronger. She dragged Lily to the truck and put her inside. Lily looked out the window and saw her armchair and Ann. They looked sad and lonely too. Lily sobbed and said, "Goodbye, armchair. Goodbye, Ann. I will miss you. I will never forget you." + +The truck drove away. Lily's armchair and Ann stayed in the empty house. They waited for Lily to come back. But she never did. They were alone. They did not know what to do. They wished they could go with Lily. They wished they could be happy again. But they could not. They were just an armchair and a doll. And nobody wanted them. +Tim and Mia are friends. They like to play with blocks and draw with crayons. One day, they find a big circle on the floor. It is red and shiny and smells good. They both want the circle. + +"It is mine!" Tim says. He grabs the circle and runs away. + +"No, it is mine!" Mia says. She runs after Tim and tries to take the circle. + +They run and run until they bump into Mom. Mom sees the circle and looks angry. + +"That is not a toy, that is a cookie!" Mom says. "You should not chew on it, it is for later!" + +She takes the circle from Tim and breaks it in half. She gives one half to Tim and one half to Mia. + +"Say sorry to each other and share nicely," Mom says. + +Tim and Mia look at each other and feel bad. They say sorry and hug. They eat their half of the cookie and smile. It is sweet and yummy. + +They decide to play with blocks and draw with crayons again. They do not fight over the circle anymore. They are friends. +Tim was a little frog who liked to hop around the pond. He had many friends who also liked to hop and play. But there was one big frog who did not like to hop or play. He was the guard of the pond. He said he had to keep the pond safe from danger. + +One day, Tim and his friends saw something unusual in the water. It was shiny and round and made a funny sound. They wanted to hop closer and see what it was. But the guard frog saw them and croaked loudly. "Stay away from that thing! It is not for you! It is mine!" he said. + +Tim and his friends were scared of the guard frog. He was big and mean and had a loud voice. But they were also curious about the shiny thing. They wondered what it was and why the guard frog wanted it so much. They decided to wait until the guard frog was asleep and then hop closer to the shiny thing. + +They waited until night and saw the guard frog snoring on a lily pad. They hopped quietly and carefully towards the shiny thing. They saw that it was a metal can with a hole in it. Inside the can, there was a small fish that made the funny sound. The fish looked sad and lonely. + +Tim felt sorry for the fish. He wanted to help it. He said to his friends, "Let's hop the can out of the pond and set the fish free. The guard frog does not need it. He has the whole pond to himself. The fish needs a bigger home with more friends." + +His friends agreed. They hopped the can out of the pond and put it on the grass. They saw a stream nearby and hopped the can towards it. They opened the can and let the fish out. The fish was happy and thanked them. It swam away in the stream. + +Tim and his friends felt good. They had done a kind thing. They hopped back to the pond and hoped the guard frog would not notice. They also hoped the guard frog would learn to hop and play and share with others. They thought that would make him happier. +Lily was a curious girl who liked to explore everything. One day, she saw her mom serve some tea to her aunt in the living room. She wanted to try some tea too, but her mom said it was too hot for her. + +Lily waited until her mom and her aunt went to the bathroom. Then she tiptoed to the table and reached for the teapot. She poured some tea into a cup and took a sip. It was very hot and bitter. She made a face and spit it out. + +"Yuck! This tea is bad!" she said. + +Just then, her mom and her aunt came back from the bathroom. They saw Lily with the cup and the spilled tea on the floor. + +"Lily, what are you doing?" her mom asked. + +"I wanted to try some tea, but it was bad," Lily said. + +"Lily, you should not touch the teapot. It is very hot and dangerous. And you should not drink tea without asking. It is not for little girls like you. It is for grown-ups who like it," her mom said. + +"I'm sorry, mom. I was curious," Lily said. + +Her mom hugged her and said, "I know you were curious, but you have to be careful. Curiosity is good, but you have to ask before you try something new. Do you understand?" + +Lily nodded and said, "I understand, mom. I love you." + +"I love you too, Lily. Now let's clean up this mess and have some juice instead," her mom said. + +Her aunt smiled and said, "Lily, you are a very curious girl. Maybe when you are older, you can have some tea with me. But for now, juice is better for you." + +Lily smiled and said, "Okay, auntie. Thank you for the juice." + +They all cleaned up the mess and had some juice together. Lily learned a lesson about curiosity and tea. She decided to wait until she was older to try some tea again. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big dog. The dog is brown and has a long tail. The dog runs to them and wags its tail. + +"Hello, dog!" Lily says. She likes dogs. She wants to pet the dog. + +"Wait, Lily!" Ben says. He is scared of dogs. He thinks the dog might bite. He stares at the dog. He hopes the dog will go away. + +The dog is friendly. He does not bite. He licks Lily's face. Lily laughs. She thinks the dog is sweet. She pets the dog's fur. + +"See, Ben? The dog is nice. He just wants to play." Lily says. She tries to make Ben feel better. + +Ben is still scared. He does not want to play. He wants to run away. He looks for a quick way to leave. + +"Come on, Ben. Don't be afraid. The dog won't hurt you." Lily says. She holds Ben's hand. She wants Ben to be brave. + +Ben takes a deep breath. He looks at the dog again. The dog looks at him and wags his tail. Ben sees that the dog is not mean. He feels a little better. + +"Okay, Lily. I will try." Ben says. He smiles. He pets the dog's head. The dog is happy. He barks. + +Lily and Ben are happy too. They play with the dog in the park. They have fun. They make a new friend. +Sam and Lily were playing in the park. They had a big ball and a small bear. They liked to throw the ball and catch it. They also liked to hug the bear and make it talk. + +"Hello, I am the bear. I am your friend. You are very nice," Lily said, making the bear say. + +"Yes, you are our friend. We love you, bear," Sam said, hugging the bear. + +But then, a big boy came. He saw the ball and the bear. He wanted them. He was not nice. He was mean. + +"Hey, give me that ball and that bear. They are mine now," he said, grabbing the ball and the bear. + +"No, they are not yours. They are ours. Give them back," Sam said, trying to get the ball and the bear. + +"Too bad. I like them. They are cool. You can't have them," the big boy said, running away. + +Sam and Lily were sad. They cried. They wanted their ball and their bear. The big boy was bad. He stole their things. + +"Help, help. He stole our ball and our bear. We want them back," they shouted. + +A nice lady heard them. She saw the big boy. She stopped him. She took the ball and the bear from him. + +"That's not nice. You can't steal from other children. That's wrong. Say sorry and give them back," she said, giving the ball and the bear to Sam and Lily. + +"I'm sorry. I was wrong. Here, take them back," the big boy said, looking down. + +"Thank you, lady. You are very nice. You helped us," Sam and Lily said, smiling. + +"You're welcome, children. I'm glad you have your ball and your bear. They are yours. You can play with them. But remember, don't steal from others. That's not nice. That's not cool," the lady said, waving goodbye. + +Sam and Lily nodded. They hugged the ball and the bear. They thanked the lady again. They played with their things. They were happy. The big boy was sorry. He learned his lesson. He did not steal again. +Sara was a chubby girl who liked to play with her doll. She had a big spot on her cheek that made her sad. She did not like it when other kids laughed at her spot. She wanted it to go away. + +One night, before she went to bed, she prayed to God. She asked Him to make her spot disappear. She said, "Please, God, help me. I do not want to have a spot on my face. I want to be pretty like my doll. Please, God, make it go away." + +The next morning, she woke up and ran to the mirror. She looked at her cheek and smiled. Her spot was gone! She was so happy. She thanked God for answering her prayer. She hugged her doll and said, "See, God loves me. He made me pretty like you." + +She went to school and showed her friends her cheek. They were surprised and happy for her. They said, "Wow, Sara, your spot is gone! You look so nice. How did you do it?" Sara said, "God did it. I prayed to Him and He made it go away. He is good and kind." + +Sara was happy and proud. She played with her friends and her doll. She did not care about being chubby anymore. She knew that God loved her the way she was. She was glad that He listened to her prayer. +Anna liked to observe the stars at night. She had a silver telescope that her dad gave her for her birthday. She would put it on the window and look at the bright dots in the sky. Sometimes she would see a big star that moved very fast. Dad said it was a shooting star and that she could make a wish. + +One night, Anna saw a shooting star that was bigger and brighter than the others. She was very excited and made a wish. She wished for a friend to play with. She felt lonely sometimes, because she had no brothers or sisters, and the kids at the park were not very nice to her. + +The next day, Anna heard a knock on the door. She opened it and saw a girl with curly hair and a big smile. She was holding a silver telescope, just like Anna's. + +"Hi, I'm Lily," the girl said. "I just moved in next door. I like to observe the stars too. Can I play with you?" + +Anna was very happy. She invited Lily in and showed her her telescope. They talked and laughed and looked at the stars together. Anna's wish came true. She had a friend who liked the same things as she did. She was not lonely anymore. +Anna and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to dig holes and look for treasures. Sometimes they found shiny stones, or worms, or old buttons. + +One day, they found something very special. It was a big, clear stone that sparkled in the sun. It looked like a star. + +"Wow!" Anna said. "What is this?" + +"I don't know," Ben said. "Maybe it's a diamond." + +"A diamond?" Anna asked. "What's a diamond?" + +Ben shrugged. He had heard the word before, but he didn't know what it meant. He only knew that diamonds were very pretty and very rare. + +"Let's show it to Mommy," he said.

She gasped. She couldn't believe her eyes. + +"Where did you find this?" she asked. + +"In the garden," Ben said. "We were digging holes." + +Mommy felt her hands tremble. She knew that this was not a normal stone. It was a real diamond, and it was very valuable. + +She hugged Anna and Ben and kissed them. + +"You are very lucky," she said. "This is a wonderful discovery. But you have to be very patient. We have to find out where this diamond came from, and who it belongs to. Maybe someone lost it, or maybe it was hidden for a long time. We have to be honest and careful." + +Anna and Ben nodded. They didn't understand everything, but they trusted Mommy. They were happy that they had found a diamond, but they were happier that they had Mommy. She was the best treasure of all. +Ben and Mia are friends. They like to play with toys.

Tom shouted. + +"Wow, how funny!" Lily said. "Can we go closer?" + +"Sure, let's be careful and quiet," dad said. He steered the boat towards the seal. + +The seal saw the boat and was curious. It swam closer and closer. It poked its nose out of the water and made a loud noise. It sounded like a horn. + +"Hello, seal!" Tom and Lily said. They waved at the seal. + +The seal waved back with its flipper. It looked friendly and funny. Tom and Lily laughed. + +But then, the seal did something bad.

He ran to the switch and flipped it. + +The living room became dark. Sam was scared. He did not like the dark. He dropped the doll and screamed. Lily and Ben grabbed their toys and ran to the other room. They turned on the light and hugged each other. They were happy and safe. + +Sam was still in the dark. He was sorry. He learned a lesson. He should not steal and be rude. He should share and be nice. He called for Lily and Ben and said, "I'm sorry. Can we play together?" +Sara and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They heard a loud noise outside. They looked out the window and saw dark clouds and lightning. They felt anxious. + +"What is that?" Sara asked. + +"It is a storm," Ben said. "It makes rain and wind and thunder." + +"Will it hurt us?" Sara wondered. + +"No, we are safe inside," Ben said. "Mom and Dad will protect us." + +They heard another loud noise. They ran to their parents in the kitchen. Mom and Dad hugged them and smiled. + +"Don't be scared, sweeties," Mom said. "The storm will pass soon. It is just nature's way of making the air and the earth clean." + +"Can we watch a movie?" Ben asked. + +"Sure, why not?" Dad said. "Let's go to the couch and pick something fun." + +They went to the couch and turned on the TV. They saw a cartoon about animals. They laughed and forgot about the storm. + +"Look, there is a lion and a zebra," Sara said. + +"They are friends," Ben said. + +"Did you mention the storm?" Mom asked. + +"No, we did not," Sara said. "We are not anxious anymore. We are happy." +Lily and Tom are playing with their toys. Lily has a furry teddy bear and Tom has a wooden truck. Lily likes her teddy bear very much. She hugs it and talks to it. + +"Hello, teddy. You are so soft and warm. I love you," she says. + +Tom looks at Lily and her teddy bear. He wants to play with it too. He thinks it looks fun and cozy. He puts his truck down and walks to Lily. + +"Can I play with your teddy bear, Lily?" he asks. + +Lily shakes her head. She does not want to share her teddy bear. She holds it tighter and says, "No, Tom. This is my teddy bear. You have your truck. Go play with your truck." + +Tom feels sad and angry. He does not like Lily's answer. He wants to have the teddy bear. He tries to grab it from Lily. Lily screams and pulls it back. They start to fight over the teddy bear. + +"Stop it, stop it!" their mom says. She hears the noise and comes to see what is wrong. She sees Lily and Tom fighting over the teddy bear. She is not happy. She takes the teddy bear from them and says, "You two need to learn how to share. Sharing is nice and kind. Fighting is bad and mean. How would you feel if someone took your toy away from you?" + +Lily and Tom look at each other. They feel sorry and ashamed. They do not want to make their mom angry. They do not want to hurt each other. They say, "We are sorry, mom. We are sorry, Lily. We are sorry, Tom." + +Mom smiles and says, "That's good. I'm glad you are sorry. Now, let's see how we can share the teddy bear. Do you know what a measure is?" + +Lily and Tom shake their heads. They do not know what a measure is. + +Mom says, "A measure is something that tells you how big or how long or how heavy something is. For example, this is a ruler. It measures how long things are. See, the teddy bear is about 30 centimeters long. That means it is not very big. But it is big enough for both of you to play with. How about we measure the time you can play with the teddy bear? We can use this clock. It measures how fast time goes by. See, the clock has two hands. The big hand and the small hand. The big hand moves faster than the small hand. When the big hand moves from one number to the next number, that is one minute. When the small hand moves from one number to the next number, that is one hour. How about we let each of you play with the teddy bear for five minutes? That means when the big hand moves five numbers, you have to give the teddy bear to the other one. Do you understand?" + +Lily and Tom nod. They understand what a measure is. They think it is a fair way to share the teddy bear. They agree to play with the teddy bear for five minutes each. They say, "Thank you, mom. Thank you for teaching us what a measure is. Thank you for helping us share the teddy bear." + +Mom says, "You're welcome, Lily. You're welcome, Tom. I'm proud of you for being nice and kind to each other. Now, go and have fun with the teddy bear. But remember, when the big hand moves five numbers, you have to give the teddy bear to the other one. OK?" + +Lily and Tom say, "OK, mom. We will remember." + +They hug their mom and then hug each other. They take turns playing with the teddy bear. They are happy and friendly. They do not fight anymore. They learn how to share and how to measure. They have a good time. +Ben and Mia were twins who loved candy. They liked to eat candy every day after lunch. But their mom said they had to share their candy with their friends. Ben and Mia did not like to share. They wanted to keep all the candy for themselves. + +One day, they had a clever idea. They decided to mail their candy to their own house. They found a big box and put all their candy inside. Then they wrote their address on the box and put some stamps on it. They asked their dad to take them to the post office. Their dad did not know what was in the box. He thought they were sending a gift to someone. + +At the post office, Ben and Mia gave the box to the lady behind the counter. They smiled and said, "Thank you!" They were very happy. They thought they would get their candy back in a few days. + +But they were wrong. The lady behind the counter saw the stamps on the box. She saw that they were old and not valid. She opened the box and saw the candy. She said, "Oh, this is not a gift. This is your candy. You can't mail your candy to yourself. That's silly. You have to take it back." + +Ben and Mia were very sad. They had to take their box of candy back home. Their mom saw the box and asked them what they did. They told her the truth. Their mom was not angry. She was amused. She said, "That was a clever idea, but not a good one. You should share your candy with your friends. That's more fun and kind. How about we mail some candy to your friends instead?" + +Ben and Mia agreed. They learned their lesson. They mailed some candy to their friends and kept some for themselves. They ate their candy happily and thanked their mom. They were still clever, but also kind. +Lila was a rabbit who liked to hop and play in the grass. She had many friends who were also rabbits. They hoped to find good food and water every day. They also hoped to stay away from hunters, who wanted to catch them and hurt them. + +One day, Lila saw a big carrot in a field. She was very hungry and wanted to eat it. She did not see the hunter who put the carrot there. He was hiding behind a tree with a gun. He hoped to shoot Lila and take her home. + +Lila ran towards the carrot, but before she could reach it, she heard a loud bang. She felt a sharp pain in her chest and fell to the ground. She could not move or breathe. She saw the hunter come out of his hiding place and pick her up. He had a rough face and a mean smile. He said, "Gotcha, you silly rabbit. You will make a nice stew for me." + +Lila's friends saw what happened and were very sad and scared. They hoped that Lila would be okay, but they knew she was not. They hoped that the hunter would go away and leave them alone, but they knew he would not. They hoped that they could find a safe place to live, but they knew it would be hard. They hoped that Lila was happy in heaven, but they missed her very much. +Lila and Ben liked to play in the garden. They saw many things there: flowers, bugs, birds, and rocks. One day, they found a shiny rock that was different from the others. It had many colors and shapes. It was a crystal. + +They took the crystal to their playhouse and put it on a table. They looked at it and touched it. It was smooth and cold. They wondered what it was and where it came from. They wanted to know more about it. + +They decided to ask their mom. They ran to the house and called for her. She came out and saw them holding the crystal. She smiled and said, "That's a very pretty crystal. Where did you find it?" + +They told her about the garden and the playhouse. She said, "That's amazing. Do you want to learn more about crystals? I have a book that can help you." + +They said yes and followed her to the library. She took out a big book and opened it. It had many pictures and words about crystals. She read some of them to Lila and Ben. They learned that crystals are made of tiny pieces that fit together. They learned that crystals can have different colors and shapes. They learned that crystals can grow or shrink depending on how hot or cold they are. + +They were very interested and asked many questions. They wanted to see more crystals. Their mom said, "I have an idea. Why don't we go to the museum tomorrow? They have a lot of crystals there. You can see them up close and learn more about them." + +They said yes and hugged their mom. They were very happy and excited. They thanked her for the book and the crystal. They ran back to the playhouse and put the crystal in a safe place. They wanted to keep it and show it to their friends. They wondered what other crystals they would see at the museum. They could not wait for tomorrow. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big bear in the park. The bear is brown and furry. He is not angry. He is happy. + +"Look, a bear!" Lily says. She points to the bear. "He is so big and soft!" + +"Wow, a bear!" Tom says. He points to the bear too. "He is so cute and friendly!" + +The bear sees Lily and Tom. He walks to them. He is not fast. He is slow. He wants to say hello. + +"Hello, bear!" Lily and Tom say. They smile at the bear. They are not scared. They are brave. + +"Hello, kids!" the bear says. He smiles at Lily and Tom. He is not loud. He is quiet. He wants to play. + +The bear gives Lily and Tom a hug. He is not rough. He is gentle. He is a nice bear. + +Lily and Tom hug the bear back. They are not cold. They are warm. They are happy. + +They play with the bear in the park. They have fun. They are friends. +Tim and Mia were playing in the park with their bikes. They liked to go fast and make loud noises. They pretended they were racing cars or planes or rockets. + +"Look at me, Mia!" Tim shouted. "I can go faster than you!" + +He pedaled hard and tried to pass Mia, but he did not see the big rock on the path. He hit the rock and fell off his bike. He scraped his knee and elbow and started to cry. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" he wailed. "It hurts!" + +Mia stopped her bike and ran to Tim. She saw the blood on his leg and arm and felt scared. + +"Don't cry, Tim," she said. "I'll get help." + +She ran to the bench where their moms were sitting and told them what happened. Their moms got up and followed Mia to Tim. They saw his wounds and tried to calm him down. + +"You'll be okay, Tim," his mom said. "We'll clean your cuts and put some bandages on them. You're very brave." + +She took out a tissue and some water from her bag and gently wiped the blood. Tim winced and sniffled. + +"Does it still hurt?" Mia asked. + +"A little," Tim said. "But I'm not crying anymore." + +Just then, they heard a loud siren and saw a big red truck with a flashing light. It was an ambulance. It stopped near the park and two people in white clothes got out. They had a bag and a stretcher with them. + +"What's that?" Tim asked. + +"That's an ambulance," his mom said. "They help people who are sick or hurt. They have medicine and tools and a bed inside the truck." + +"Are they here for me?" Tim asked. + +"No, honey," his mom said. "They're here for someone else. Maybe someone who fell from the swings or the slide. They'll take them to the hospital and make them better." + +Tim and Mia watched as the ambulance people went to the playground and talked to another mom and a boy. The boy had a bandage on his head and looked pale. He was crying. The ambulance people put him on the stretcher and carried him to the truck. They closed the door and drove away with the siren on. + +"Wow," Mia said. "That was scary." + +"Yeah," Tim said. "I hope he's okay." + +He looked at his own bandages and felt embarrassed. He thought he was silly for falling off his bike and making a fuss. He wished he had been more careful. + +"I'm sorry, Mia," he said. "I ruined our game. I was trying to be fast and cool, but I was stupid." + +Mia smiled and hugged him. + +"It's okay, Tim," she said. "You're still my friend. And you're still fast and cool. But next time, watch out for the rocks, okay?" + +"Okay," Tim said. "And next time, let's play something else. Something safer. Like tag or hide and seek or hopscotch." + +"Okay," Mia said. "That sounds fun." + +They got on their bikes and rode back to their moms. They were happy to be together and to be safe. They decided to spend the rest of the day playing nice and easy games. They did not want to see another ambulance. +One day, Ben and Lily went to the park with their mom. They saw many flowers, birds and bugs. They liked to look at them and learn their names. + +"Look, Ben, a beetle!" Lily said, pointing at a shiny black bug on a leaf. "It has six legs and two wings. Do you think it can fly?" + +"I don't know, Lily. Maybe it can, but it is too lazy to try. It just sits on the leaf all day and does nothing." Ben said, looking at the beetle with curiosity. + +"Maybe it is not lazy, Ben. Maybe it is busy. Maybe it has a lot of things to do, like finding food, or making a home, or discussing with other beetles." Lily said, imagining what the beetle's life was like. + +"Discussing with other beetles? What do you mean, Lily? How can beetles discuss? They don't talk like us." Ben said, laughing. + +"Maybe they do, Ben. Maybe they have their own language, and their own stories, and their own jokes. Maybe they are very smart and funny, and we just don't understand them." Lily said, smiling. + +"Maybe you are right, Lily. Maybe beetles are not lazy, but amazing. Maybe we should try to learn more about them, and be their friends." Ben said, nodding. + +"Let's do that, Ben. Let's watch them, and listen to them, and be kind to them. Maybe they will like us, too." Lily said, holding Ben's hand. + +"Okay, Lily. Let's do that. But first, let's ask mom if we can have a snack. I'm hungry." Ben said, looking at their mom, who was sitting on a bench nearby. + +"Me too, Ben. Let's go." Lily said, following Ben. + +They ran to their mom, and told her about the beetle they saw. Their mom smiled, and gave them some cookies and juice. She was happy that they liked to explore and learn new things. She was proud of them. +Lila and Tom are playing in the park. They like to run and slide and swing. They are having fun. But the sun is very hot and bright. It makes their skin red and sore. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Lila cries. "My skin hurts!" + +"Me too!" Tom says. "We need to go home and put lotion on." + +They run to their mom, who is sitting on a bench. She sees their red skin and frowns. + +"Oh, no! You two are sunburned!" she says. "You should have worn a hat and sunscreen. Come on, let's go home and take care of it." + +She takes them by the hand and walks to the car. She puts them in their seats and buckles them up. Then she speeds to their house. She wants to help them feel better. + +At home, she gives them some water and a snack. Then she gets the lotion from the bathroom. It is cool and white and smells nice. She rubs it gently on their skin. + +"Does that feel better?" she asks. + +"Yes, mom, thank you!" Lila and Tom say. They smile and hug her. They are grateful for her love and care. + +They lie down on the couch and watch a movie. They are still a little sore, but they are happy. They have learned a lesson. Next time, they will wear a hat and sunscreen when they play in the sun. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. Today is very hot. They want to cool down. + +"Look, Ben, I have a fan!" Anna says. She shows him a paper fan with flowers on it. She waves it in front of her face. + +"Wow, Anna, your fan is pretty!" Ben says. He feels the air from the fan. He likes it. + +"Can I carry your fan, Anna?" Ben asks. He wants to try it. + +"OK, Ben, you can carry my fan. But be careful. Don't break it." Anna says. She gives him the fan. + +Ben carries the fan. He waves it in front of his face. He feels cool. He smiles. + +"Thank you, Anna. Your fan is jolly!" Ben says. He gives the fan back to Anna. + +"You're welcome, Ben. You are jolly, too!" Anna says. She takes the fan. + +They hug. They are happy. They play in the park. They share the fan. They are friends. +Lily and Ben were playing with a big ball in the park. They liked to bounce the ball to each other and catch it. Sometimes they bounced the ball very high and it went over the fence. Then they had to run and get it back. + +One day, they saw a new thing in the park. It was a spring. It was shiny and curly and had a hook at each end. Lily and Ben wondered what it was for. They decided to try it with their ball. + +They hooked one end of the spring to the fence and the other end to the ball. Then they pulled the ball back and let it go. The ball flew in the air with the spring. It bounced higher and higher and higher. Lily and Ben laughed and clapped. + +But then something bad happened. The ball bounced so high that it got stuck in a tree. The spring was still attached to it. Lily and Ben could not reach it. They were very upset. + +"Hey, that's our ball!" Lily shouted. + +"Give it back!" Ben cried. + +But the ball did not come down. It stayed in the tree. Lily and Ben did not know what to do. They looked around for help. + +They saw a man walking his dog. He had a big hat and a long coat. He looked kind. Lily and Ben ran to him. + +"Excuse me, sir," Lily said. "Can you help us? Our ball is in the tree. We can't get it down." + +The man looked at the tree. He saw the ball and the spring. He smiled. + +"That's a clever idea," he said. "But I think you need a ladder to get it down. I have one in my car. Wait here, I'll be right back." + +Lily and Ben thanked the man. They waited for him to come back with the ladder. They hoped he could get their ball and their spring. They did not want to lose them. They liked to bounce. +Lily and Max were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make yummy food with pots and pans and spoons. They also liked to wear aprons and hats like real chefs. + +One day, they decided to make a cake for their mom. They found some flour and sugar and eggs and milk in the cupboard and fridge. They mixed them all together in a big bowl. They poured the batter into a cake pan and put it in the oven. They set the timer for 20 minutes. + +While they waited, they heard a loud roar outside. They looked out the window and saw a fierce lion in the backyard. It had big teeth and claws and a mane. It looked hungry and angry. They were scared and ran to the living room. + +"Mom, mom, there's a lion outside!" they cried. + +Mom came from the bedroom and saw the lion. She smiled and said, "Don't worry, kids, that's not a real lion. That's Mr. Brown, our neighbor. He's wearing a lion costume for a party. He's very nice and funny. He likes to make jokes and play with you." + +She opened the door and called, "Mr. Brown, come in, please. We have a surprise for you." + +Mr. Brown came in and took off his lion mask. He smiled and said, "Hello, Lily and Max. I'm sorry if I scared you. I was just having some fun. What's the surprise?" + +Lily and Max said, "We made a cake for you. It's in the kitchen. Come and see." + +They led Mr. Brown to the kitchen and showed him the cake. It was golden and fluffy and smelled good. They put some candles and sprinkles on top. They sang, "Happy birthday, Mr. Brown. We hope you like our cake." + +Mr. Brown was very happy and touched. He said, "Thank you, Lily and Max. You are very sweet and kind. This is the best birthday gift ever. Can I have a slice?" + +They said, "Of course. You can have the first slice. We'll have some too." + +They cut the cake and ate it together. They laughed and talked and had a good time. They forgot about the lion and the oven and the timer. They were just happy to be friends. +Lily and Ben were hungry after playing in the park. They wanted to eat a sandwich, but they had no money. They saw a man selling sandwiches from a cart. The sandwiches looked yummy, but they were expensive. + +"Can we have a sandwich, please?" Lily asked the man. + +"Sure, but you have to pay me two coins for each sandwich," the man said. + +Lily and Ben looked at each other. They had no coins. They felt sad. + +"Maybe we can find some coins on the ground," Ben said. + +They looked around, but they could not find any coins. They saw a bench under a tree. They were tired. + +"Let's nap on the bench," Lily said. + +They lay down on the bench and closed their eyes. They dreamed of eating sandwiches. + +A lady walked by and saw them. She felt sorry for them. She had a bag of sandwiches that she had bought from the man. She took out two sandwiches and put them next to Lily and Ben. + +"Here, have these. They are for you," she said softly. + +She walked away and smiled. Lily and Ben opened their eyes and saw the sandwiches. They were surprised and happy. + +"Wow, look! Someone gave us sandwiches!" Ben said. + +"Thank you, whoever you are!" Lily said. + +They ate the sandwiches and felt full. They thanked the lady in their hearts. They napped again and dreamed of playing in the park. +Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play pretend. They would imagine they were pirates, or astronauts, or superheroes. They had a lot of fun with their toys and costumes. + +One day, they found a fake lung in their dad's closet. It was a rubber thing that looked like a big balloon with tubes. They did not know what it was, but they thought it was cool. They decided to use it for their game. + +They pretended they were doctors, and the fake lung was a sick patient. They took turns to pump air into it and listen to it with a stethoscope. They made up silly names for the lung, like Mr. Puffy or Mrs. Wheezy. + +But they did not know that the fake lung was not a toy. It was a real thing that their dad used for his work. He was a teacher who showed students how lungs work. The fake lung was very delicate and expensive. + +When their dad came home, he saw the fake lung on the floor. It was broken and torn. He was very angry and sad. He yelled at Tim and Sam and told them they had ruined his work. He said they had to pay for a new fake lung with their allowance. + +Tim and Sam felt very sorry and ashamed. They wished they had not played with the fake lung. They learned that they should not touch things that do not belong to them, and that they should ask before they use something. They also learned that some things are not toys, and that they can be dangerous or harmful. They said sorry to their dad and hugged him. They hoped he would forgive them. +Lily and Tom were twins who liked to play together. But sometimes they would fight over toys and books. One day, they were bored and wanted to find something new to do. They saw a big cupboard in the living room that had a lock on it. + +"What is in there?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know. Let's open it and see," Tom said. + +They tried to pull the lock, but it was too hard. They pushed and pulled, but it did not move. They started to argue. + +"It's my turn to try," Lily said. + +"No, it's mine. You had it first," Tom said. + +They both grabbed the lock and pulled in different directions. They fought and fought, until they heard a loud snap. The lock broke and the cupboard door opened. They looked inside and saw a lot of old and dusty things. There were clothes, books, pictures, and toys. They were not very interesting. + +"Is this all?" Lily said. + +"What a boring cupboard," Tom said. + +They felt disappointed and sad. They wished they had not fought over the lock. They looked at each other and said sorry. + +"Let's go and play with our own toys and books," Lily said. + +"OK. And let's not fight anymore," Tom said. + +They hugged and went to their room. They learned that fighting is not fun and that they should share and be kind. They also learned that sometimes the best things are not hidden in cupboards, but in their own hearts. +Tim and Jen were bored. It was a gloomy day and they could not go outside. They looked around the house for something fun to do. They saw a big bowl on the table. It was full of colorful fish. + +"Wow, look at the fish!" Tim said. "They are so pretty and shiny. Can we play with them?" + +"I don't know," Jen said. "Mom said they are her pets and we should not touch them. They need water to live." + +"But they look so sad in the bowl," Tim said. "Maybe they want to swim in the bathtub. Or the sink. Or the toilet. Let's release them and make them happy." + +Jen was not sure, but she wanted to make Tim happy. She nodded and helped him carry the bowl to the bathroom. They poured the fish into the bathtub and watched them splash around. + +"See, they are happy now," Tim said. "They have more space and more water. They are free." + +Jen smiled, but she felt a little guilty. She hoped Mom would not be angry. She heard a noise outside the door. It was Mom. + +"Tim, Jen, what are you doing in there?" Mom asked. "I heard water running. Are you taking a bath?" + +Tim and Jen looked at each other. They did not know what to say. They heard Mom open the door and gasp. + +"Tim, Jen, what have you done?" Mom cried. "You released my fish! They are not happy, they are dying! They need special water and food and air. You killed them!" + +Tim and Jen felt very bad. They saw the fish lying still on the bottom of the bathtub. They were not shiny anymore. They were gray and dull. They wished they had not touched the bowl. They wished they had listened to Mom. They wished they could make the fish alive again. But it was too late. +Tim and Lily are in school. They like to draw on the blackboard with chalk. They make flowers, stars, and animals. They are happy. + +But then, a big boy comes in. He is mean. He says, "This is my blackboard. Go away, or I will scare you." He takes the chalk and erases their drawings. He makes a scary face and a loud noise. He laughs. + +Tim and Lily are sad and scared. They run to their teacher. They say, "Teacher, teacher, help us. The big boy is mean. He erased our drawings and scared us." + +The teacher is angry. She goes to the big boy. She says, "That is not nice. You should not erase other people's drawings. You should not scare them. You should say sorry and share the blackboard." + +The big boy is ashamed. He says, "Sorry, Tim and Lily. I was wrong. Can I draw with you?" + +Tim and Lily are kind. They say, "Yes, you can. But you have to be nice and gentle." + +They draw together on the blackboard. They make a big rainbow and write their names. They are friends. They are happy. The blackboard is perfect. +Sara loves to play with her dolls. She has a big box of dolls and clothes and shoes. She likes to dress them up and make them talk. Sometimes she invites her friends to play with her dolls too. + +One day, Sara decides to have a tea party with her dolls. She sets up a small table and chairs in her room. She puts a teapot and cups and plates on the table. She also brings some cookies and fruits from the kitchen. She invites her dolls to sit down and have some tea. + +"Hello, dolls," Sara says. "Welcome to my tea party. I am your host, Sara. Would you like some tea?" She pours some water from the teapot into the cups. She pretends it is hot and tasty tea. She gives each doll a cup and a plate. She also gives them some cookies and fruits. "Here you go, dolls. Enjoy your tea and snacks. You are my special guests." + +Sara's mom watches her from the door. She smiles and thinks how cute and creative Sara is. She is proud of her daughter. She decides to join the tea party too. She knocks on the door and asks, "May I come in, Sara?" + +"Of course, mom," Sara says. "You can join my tea party. I have a seat for you. Here is your cup and plate. Do you like tea, mom?" + +"I love tea, Sara," mom says. "Thank you for inviting me. You are a very good host. You are very kind and polite to your dolls. I am proud of you, Sara." + +"Thank you, mom," Sara says. "I am happy you are here. I love you, mom." + +"I love you too, Sara," mom says. They hug and kiss. They drink their tea and eat their snacks. They talk and laugh with the dolls. They have a wonderful time at the tea party. Sara is happy. She likes to play with her dolls and her mom. She likes to keep them close to her heart. +Tom and Mia were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a squirrel on a tree. The squirrel had a big nut in its mouth. It looked at them with its black eyes. + +"Look, a squirrel!" Tom said. "It has a nut. I want the nut." + +Tom ran to the tree. He tried to climb it, but he was too small. He got angry. He kicked the tree with his foot. The squirrel got scared. It dropped the nut and ran away. + +"Tom, don't kick the tree!" Mia said. "That is not nice. You scared the squirrel. And you hurt your foot." + +Tom looked at his foot. It was red and dirty. He felt sorry. He said, "I'm sorry, Mia. I'm sorry, squirrel. I was silly. I don't need the nut. I have you." + +Mia smiled. She gave Tom a hug. She said, "It's okay, Tom. I forgive you. Let's play something else. Look, there is a swing. Do you want to swing with me?" + +Tom nodded. He said, "Yes, I want to swing with you. You are my best friend." + +They walked to the swing. They forgot about the nut and the squirrel. They had fun. They were happy. +Ben and Lily were friends who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big dog with no name. The dog was filthy and had many fleas. Ben and Lily felt sorry for the dog and wanted to help him. + +They walked to the dog and gave him some food and water. The dog wagged his tail and licked their faces. Ben and Lily smiled and decided to name him Spot. They thought Spot was a good name for a dog with many spots. + +They walked to their homes and asked their moms if they could keep Spot. Their moms said no, because Spot was filthy and had many fleas. They said Spot needed a bath and a vet. Ben and Lily were sad and did not want to leave Spot alone. + +They walked back to the dog and told him they were sorry. They said they loved him but they could not keep him. They said they would find him a good home. The dog looked sad and whined. + +They walked to the park and saw a sign that said "Lost Dog". The sign had a picture of Spot and a phone number. Ben and Lily were happy and called the number. A man answered and said he was Spot's owner. He said he had been looking for Spot for a long time. He said he was very grateful to Ben and Lily for finding him. + +He walked to the park and met Ben and Lily and Spot. He hugged them and thanked them. He said he would take Spot to the bath and the vet. He said he would give them a reward. Ben and Lily said they did not want a reward. They said they were happy to help Spot and his owner. They said they were glad Spot had a home. + +The man smiled and said they were very kind and generous. He said they had a good heart. He said they could visit Spot anytime. Ben and Lily nodded and said goodbye to Spot. They walked to their homes and felt proud and happy. + +The moral of the story is: Helping others is a good thing to do. You can make new friends and feel good about yourself. You can also learn to care for animals and respect their owners. +Ben and Mia were twins who liked to play together. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big dollhouse. They pretended that the dolls were their family and friends, and made up stories about them. + +One day, they decided to have a tea party with the dolls. They set up a small table and chairs, and brought some juice and cookies from the kitchen. They poured the juice into tiny cups and gave them to the dolls. They also gave them names and voices. + +"This is Mommy," said Mia, holding a doll with long hair and a dress. "She is very nice and pretty. She likes to read and cook." + +"And this is Daddy," said Ben, holding a doll with a suit and a bald head. "He is very smart and strong. He likes to work and play." + +They made the dolls talk to each other and to them. They asked them questions and told them jokes. They had a lot of fun. + +But then, Mia noticed something. She looked at Ben's doll and said, "Hey, why is your Daddy bald? Where is his hair?" + +Ben thought for a moment. He remembered that his real Daddy had hair, but he also remembered that he had seen some men who were bald. He said, "Some Daddies are bald. It means they have no hair on their head. It's okay. They are still Daddies." + +Mia nodded. She said, "Okay. I guess some Daddies are bald. But I like our Daddy better. He has hair." + +Ben agreed. He said, "Me too. I like our Daddy better. He has hair and he is very nice." + +They hugged their dolls and each other. They said, "We love our Daddy. He is the best Daddy in the world." + +They finished their tea party and cleaned up. They put the dolls back in the dollhouse and went to find their real Mommy and Daddy. They wanted to tell them how much they loved them and how much fun they had. They also wanted to mention that some Daddies were bald, but they liked their Daddy better. They thought that would make him happy. +Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play in their room. They had a big wardrobe where they kept their clothes and toys. Sometimes they pretended that the wardrobe was a magic door to another world. + +One day, their mom told them that they had to move to a new house. She said they could not take the wardrobe with them. Anna and Ben were very sad. They did not want to leave their room and their wardrobe. + +"Mom, please, can we keep the wardrobe?" Anna asked. + +"I'm sorry, honey, but it's too big and heavy. We have to send it to someone else who needs it," mom said. + +"Who will get our wardrobe?" Ben asked. + +"I don't know, maybe another family with children who like to play," mom said. + +Anna and Ben hugged their wardrobe and said goodbye. They hoped that it would find a good home. They packed their clothes and toys in boxes and bags. They wondered if they would ever see their wardrobe again. +Tom and Lily liked to play in the park. They liked to run, jump and slide. One day, they saw a big net on the grass. They did not know what it was for. They thought it was a fun thing to play with. + +They ran to the net and picked it up. They threw it over each other and laughed. They pretended to be fish or birds caught in the net. They did not see the man who put the net there. He was hiding behind a tree. He was a bad man. He wanted to catch animals and sell them. + +The man saw Tom and Lily playing with his net. He was angry. He came out of his hiding place and ran towards them. He had a big stick in his hand. He shouted at them to leave his net alone. Tom and Lily were scared. They tried to run away, but the net was tangled around them. They could not move. + +The man reached them and grabbed the net. He lifted it up and threw it over his shoulder. He did not care that Tom and Lily were inside. He walked away with them. He wanted to sell them too. + +Tom and Lily cried and screamed. They did not know where he was taking them. They did not know what he would do to them. They wished they had never played with the unknown net. They wished they had stayed away from the bad man. They wished they could go back to the park and their mom and dad. But it was too late. The man had caught them and they could not escape. They heard him roar with laughter as he walked away. They were very sad and afraid. The end. +Tom and Anna liked to play pirate in the park. They had a big box that was their ship, and they wore hats and eye patches. They pretended to sail on the sea and look for treasure. + +One day, they saw a new boy in the park. He had a red shirt and a big smile. He came to their ship and said, "Hello, can I play with you?" + +Tom and Anna looked at each other. They did not know the boy. He was unknown. They did not want to share their ship and their treasure. They said, "No, you can't play with us. This is our ship. Go away!" + +The boy was sad. He said, "But I like pirates. I have a sword and a map. I can help you find more treasure." + +Tom and Anna did not listen. They said, "No, no, no. You are not a pirate. You are a stranger. We don't like strangers. Go away!" + +The boy turned to leave. He was very sad. He walked to the swings and sat down. He looked at his sword and his map. He wished he had friends to play with. + +But then, he saw something. He saw a big dog running towards the ship. The dog was angry and loud. It barked and growled. It wanted to bite the box and the hats and the eye patches. + +Tom and Anna were scared. They did not know what to do. They screamed and cried. They wanted to run away, but they were trapped in the box. + +The boy saw them. He felt sorry for them. He forgot that they were mean to him. He wanted to help them. He grabbed his sword and ran to the ship. He shouted, "Don't worry, I will save you!" + +He waved his sword at the dog. He made a brave noise. He said, "Go away, dog. You are not a pirate. You are a bad dog. Go away!" + +The dog was surprised. It saw the sword and the boy. It was afraid. It stopped barking and growling. It turned and ran away. + +Tom and Anna saw the boy. They saw that he saved them. They felt ashamed. They said, "Thank you, thank you, thank you. You are a good boy. You are a hero. You are a pirate." + +The boy smiled. He said, "You're welcome, you're welcome, you're welcome. You are good too. You are pirates. Can I play with you?" + +Tom and Anna nodded. They said, "Yes, yes, yes. You can play with us. You can share our ship and our treasure. What is your name?" + +The boy said, "My name is Ben. What is yours?" + +Tom and Anna said, "We are Tom and Anna. Nice to meet you, Ben." + +They all smiled. They became friends. They played pirate in the park. They had fun. They found more treasure. They were happy. +Tim and Lily were playing in the backyard. They liked to pretend they were heroes and villains. Tim had a stick that he used as a weapon. Lily had a scarf that she used to wrap around her neck or her arm. + +"Ha ha, I will catch you, Lily!" Tim said, running after her with his stick. + +"No, you won't, Tim! I am too fast for you!" Lily said, dodging his swings. + +They ran around the trees and the bushes, laughing and shouting. They had a lot of fun. + +But then, Tim tripped on a rock and fell down. He scraped his knee and it hurt a lot. He started to cry. + +Lily heard him and ran to him. She saw his knee was bleeding. She felt sorry for him. + +"Are you okay, Tim?" she asked, kneeling beside him. + +"It hurts, Lily. It hurts a lot." Tim said, sobbing. + +Lily took off her scarf and wrapped it around his knee. She hoped it would make him feel better. + +"There, there. It's okay, Tim. I will help you." she said, hugging him. + +Tim felt her hug and her scarf. He felt a little better. He stopped crying. + +"Thank you, Lily. You are very nice." he said, smiling. + +"You're welcome, Tim. You are my friend." she said, smiling back. + +They got up and walked to the house. They held hands and talked. They felt comfortable and happy. They were still heroes and villains, but they were also friends. +Anna loved to imagine. She liked to pretend she was a princess, a pirate, a fairy, or anything else she could think of. She had a lot of toys and books to help her imagine, but sometimes she liked to use things she found around the house. + +One day, she saw a big bowl of peaches on the kitchen table. They were new peaches that her mom had bought at the market. They looked juicy and sweet, and Anna wanted to try one. But she also had an idea. She took one peach and ran to her room. + +She put the peach on her pillow and said, "Hello, Mr. Peach. You are my new friend. Do you want to play with me?" She imagined that the peach had a face and a voice, and that it could talk to her. She made up stories about where the peach came from, and what adventures they could have together. + +"Hi, Anna. I'm happy to be your friend. You are very nice and funny. I came from a faraway land, where there are many trees and flowers and animals. Do you want to go there with me?" the peach said. + +"Yes, please. That sounds wonderful. How can we go there?" Anna asked. + +"We can use your magic carpet. It's under your bed. Come on, let's go!" the peach said. + +Anna was excited. She pulled out an old blanket from under her bed and spread it on the floor. She put the peach on the blanket and climbed on. She held the peach in her arms and said, "Ready, Mr. Peach?" + +"Ready, Anna. Let's fly!" the peach said. + +Anna closed her eyes and imagined that the blanket was a magic carpet, and that it lifted them up in the air. She felt the wind in her hair and the sun on her face. She smelled the peaches and the flowers. She heard the birds and the bees. She smiled and laughed. She and Mr. Peach had a lot of fun. They were the best of friends. +Lily and Ben are twins who like to watch TV. They watch different shows on different channels. Lily likes to watch cartoons with animals and Ben likes to watch games with cars. Sometimes they fight over the remote control and switch the channels. + +One day, their mom said, "You have watched enough TV for today. It is time to play outside." But Lily and Ben did not want to stop watching TV. They said, "No, mom, we want to watch more TV. Please, mom, just one more show." + +Mom said, "No, you have to quit watching TV now. TV is not good for your eyes and your brain. You need to play and exercise and learn new things. Come on, let's go outside and have some fun." + +Lily and Ben followed mom outside, but they were not happy. They saw a big slide, a swing, a sandbox and a ball. Mom said, "Look, there are so many things to do outside. You can slide, swing, dig and kick. You can also make new friends and share your toys. Isn't that better than watching TV?" + +Lily and Ben decided to try the slide first. They ran to the slide and climbed up the ladder. But when they reached the top, they started to argue again. Lily said, "I want to go first." Ben said, "No, I want to go first." They pushed and pulled each other and did not let go of the slide. + +Mom saw them and said, "Stop it, Lily and Ben. You are being very competitive and rude. You have to take turns and be nice to each other. If you can't play together, you can't play at all. Do you want to go back inside and watch TV?" + +Lily and Ben did not want to go back inside and watch TV. They realized that they were being silly and selfish. They said, "Sorry, mom. Sorry, Lily. Sorry, Ben. We don't want to fight anymore. We want to play together and have fun." They hugged each other and smiled. + +Mom said, "That's good, Lily and Ben. I'm proud of you. You learned a valuable lesson today. TV is not as important as playing and sharing and being kind. Now, go and enjoy the slide and the other toys. And don't forget to say hello to the other kids." + +Lily and Ben nodded and said, "Okay, mom. Thank you, mom. We love you, mom." They slid down the slide and laughed. They swung on the swing and sang. They dug in the sandbox and made a castle. They kicked the ball and scored a goal. They also made new friends and shared their toys. They had a lot of fun outside and forgot about TV. They were happy and mom was happy too. +Lily and Ben were playing with blocks. They liked to make different shapes with them. They made a house, a car, a tower and a star. + +"Look at my star, Lily!" Ben said. "It has five points. It is the best shape." + +"No, my house is the best shape," Lily said. "It has a roof and a door and a window. It is cozy and pretty." + +They started to argue about whose shape was better. They did not want to share their blocks. They did not want to play together. + +Their mom heard them and came to see what was wrong. She saw the blocks and the shapes and the angry faces. + +"Why are you fighting, Lily and Ben?" she asked. "You have so many blocks. You can make many shapes. You can play nicely and have fun." + +"But he said his star is better than my house!" Lily said. + +"And she said her house is better than my star!" Ben said. + +Mom smiled and shook her head. She thought they were being foolish. She had an idea. + +"Why don't you try to make a new shape together?" she suggested. "You can use both your blocks and see what you can create. Maybe you will find a shape that you both like." + +Lily and Ben looked at each other. They thought about mom's idea. They decided to give it a try. They stopped fighting and started to work together. They used their blocks to make a new shape. It was a big circle with a smaller circle inside. It looked like a donut. + +"Wow, this is a cool shape!" Ben said. + +"Yes, it is!" Lily agreed. "I like it. It is round and sweet." + +They showed their shape to mom. She was happy to see them playing nicely. She praised them for their creativity and cooperation. + +"See, you can have more fun when you share and work together," she said. "Now, why don't you settle down and have a snack? I have some real donuts for you." + +Lily and Ben smiled and hugged mom. They thanked her for the donuts and the blocks. They settled down and enjoyed their snack. They learned a lesson about shapes and friendship. They were not foolish anymore. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play outside. One day, they see a big hill near their house. They want to climb the hill and see what is on the other side. + +"Let's go to the hill!" Anna says. + +"OK, let's go!" Ben says. + +They run to the hill and start to climb. They use their hands and feet to go up. The hill is steep and high. They have to stop and rest many times. + +"I'm tired," Anna says. + +"Me too," Ben says. + +But they keep going. They want to reach the top. They see the sky and the clouds and the birds. They feel the wind and the sun on their faces. + +"We did it!" Anna says. + +"We did it!" Ben repeats. + +They look at each other and smile. They are happy and proud. They sit on the hill and look around. They see their house and their yard and their toys. They see the road and the cars and the people. They see the trees and the flowers and the animals. They see a lot of things. + +"Wow, look at all the things!" Anna says. + +"Wow, look at all the things!" Ben repeats. + +They point and name the things they see. They learn new words. They have fun. They are friends. They like the hill. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to run, jump and slide on the grass and the swings. They saw a big tree with many leaves and branches. They wanted to climb the tree and see the birds and the sky. + +They ran to the tree and found a sign that said: "Do not climb. Tree is old and weak." Lily and Tom did not know what the sign meant. They thought it was a harmless sign. They ignored the sign and started to climb the tree. + +They climbed higher and higher, feeling happy and brave. They reached a big branch and sat on it. They looked around and saw many things. They saw flowers, cars, dogs and people. They saw a big crack on the branch. They did not know what the crack meant. They thought it was a harmless crack. They ignored the crack and stayed on the branch. + +They heard a loud noise and felt the branch shake. They were scared and surprised. The branch broke and fell to the ground. Lily and Tom fell with the branch. They screamed and cried. They landed on the grass and felt pain. They had scratches, bruises and bumps. They wished they had listened to the sign and avoided the crack. + +A lady who worked in the park heard the noise and ran to them. She saw Lily and Tom on the ground and the broken branch. She was angry and worried. She said: "What are you doing? Why did you climb the tree? Didn't you see the sign? The sign said the tree is old and weak. The crack said the branch is dangerous. You could have been hurt very badly. You were very foolish and naughty." + +Lily and Tom felt sorry and ashamed. They said: "We are sorry, lady. We did not understand the sign. We did not know the crack was dangerous. We thought they were harmless. We wanted to have fun and see the birds and the sky. We will not climb the tree again. We will be careful and good." + +The lady sighed and said: "I am glad you are sorry and learned your lesson. But you should always pay attention to signs and cracks. They are there to warn you and protect you. They are not harmless. They are important. Now come with me. I will take you to the nurse and call your parents. They will be very upset and worried." + +Lily and Tom nodded and followed the lady. They held hands and walked slowly. They felt sad and sore. They hoped their parents would not be too angry and would forgive them. They learned a hard lesson that day. They learned to respect signs and cracks. They learned that harmless things can be harmful. They learned to be more careful and smart. +Anna was a big girl who liked to help her mom. She wanted to be a nurse when she grew up, because nurses help people who are sick or hurt. Sometimes, she played with her dolls and pretended they were her patients. She would serve them water, soup, and medicine, and put bandages on their boo-boos. + +One day, Anna's mom had to go to the hospital for a check-up. Anna wanted to go with her, but her mom said no. She said Anna had to stay with her grandma, who would take care of her. Anna was sad and angry. She did not want to stay with grandma. She wanted to go to the hospital and help her mom. She said, "I am a big girl. I can go with you. I can be independent." + +Her mom hugged her and said, "I know you are a big girl, and I am proud of you. But the hospital is not a place for children. There are many germs and machines and people there. It is not safe or fun. Grandma loves you and she will play with you and read you stories. I will be back soon, I promise." + +Anna did not like her mom's answer. She pouted and crossed her arms. She said, "No, I don't want to stay with grandma. I want to go with you. You are not fair." + +Her mom sighed and said, "Anna, please don't be rude. Grandma is here to help us. She is very kind and patient. You should be grateful and polite. I love you, but I have to go now. Be a good girl and listen to grandma, okay?" + +Anna did not say anything. She turned away and looked at the floor. She felt lonely and mad. She wished she could go to the hospital and be a nurse. She did not want to play with grandma or her dolls. She wanted to be with her mom. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play at the beach. They build sand castles and look for shells. They also sign to each other. Lily and Tom are deaf, but they can talk with their hands. + +One day, they see a big boat on the water. It has a red cross on it. Lily signs to Tom, "What is that boat?" + +Tom signs back, "I think it is a hospital boat. It helps people who are sick or hurt." + +Lily signs, "Why do people get sick or hurt?" + +Tom signs, "Sometimes they eat bad food, or fall down, or catch a germ. But we can stay healthy if we eat good food, and be careful, and wash our hands." + +Lily signs, "I like good food. I like apples and carrots and cheese. What do you like?" + +Tom signs, "I like bananas and bread and milk. And I like ice cream, but not too much." + +Lily and Tom smile and nod. They are happy and healthy. They go back to their sand castles and shells. They love the beach. +Lily was hungry. She wanted to eat an apple. She saw a big basket of apples on the table. She ran to the table and reached for an apple. + +But then she heard a loud noise. She turned around and saw a big gray cat. The cat had entered the kitchen through the window. The cat looked at Lily and the apples. The cat wanted to eat an apple too. + +Lily was scared. She did not like the cat. She did not want to share the apples. She picked up an apple and threw it at the cat. The cat dodged the apple and hissed at Lily. + +Lily ran to the door and called for her mom. Mom came and saw the cat and the apples. Mom shooed the cat away and closed the window. Mom hugged Lily and gave her another apple. + +Lily was happy. She ate the apple and thanked her mom. She did not see the cat again. She liked apples, but she did not like cats. +Tom and Sue were hungry. They went to the garden to find some food. They saw many red berries on a bush. They looked yummy. + +"Can we eat these berries?" Sue asked Tom. + +"I don't know. Maybe they are good, maybe they are bad." Tom said. + +They picked some berries and smelled them. They smelled sweet. They put them in their mouths and chewed. They tasted sour. + +"Yuck! These berries are not good!" Sue said. She spit out the berry. + +"Me too! These berries are not good!" Tom said. He spit out the berry too. + +They saw a little bird on a tree. The bird was eating some blue berries. The bird looked happy. + +"Maybe those berries are good." Sue said. + +"Let's try them." Tom said. + +They went to the tree and picked some blue berries. They smelled them. They smelled fresh. They put them in their mouths and chewed. They tasted sweet. + +"Mmm! These berries are good!" Sue said. She smiled. + +"Me too! These berries are good!" Tom said. He smiled too. + +They ate more blue berries and shared some with the bird. The bird sang a song. They were happy. They had found some good food. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play in their room. They had many toys and books, but they did not like to put them away. Their room was always messy and their mom was always sad. + +One day, mom said, "Ben and Lily, it is time for dinner. Please come to the kitchen and wash your hands." But Ben and Lily did not listen. They wanted to play more. They ignored mom and kept playing. + +Mom waited for a while, but Ben and Lily did not come. She was angry and worried. She went to their room and saw the mess. She said, "Ben and Lily, this is not good. You did not obey me and you did not tidy your room. You are not getting any dinner tonight. You have to stay in your room and think about what you did." + +Ben and Lily were shocked and sad. They realized they had been naughty and rude. They said, "Mom, we are sorry. We love you and we love dinner. Please forgive us and let us eat with you." + +Mom said, "I love you too, but you have to learn to be good and respectful. You have to listen to me and you have to tidy your room. If you do that, I will give you dinner. But you have to do it now." + +Ben and Lily nodded and said, "OK, mom. We will do it now." They started to pick up their toys and books and put them in their places. They worked hard and fast. They wanted to make mom happy and they wanted to eat dinner. + +Soon, their room was tidy and clean. They felt proud and happy. They went to the kitchen and showed mom their room.

We love you and we love dinner. We learned our lesson. We will always listen to you and we will always tidy our room." + +Mom hugged them back and said, "You are welcome, Ben and Lily. I love you and I love dinner too. You are good and smart. You discovered that being good and tidy is better than being naughty and messy." + +They all went to the table and enjoyed their dinner. They talked and laughed and had fun. They were a happy family. +One day, a little boy named Ben went to the zoo with his mom. He liked to see the animals and talk to them. He saw a big elephant with a long trunk. He wanted to touch the trunk, so he ran to the fence. + +"Hello, elephant!" he said. "Can I touch your trunk?" + +The elephant looked at Ben and shook his head. He did not like strangers touching his trunk. He was angry and scared. + +"No, you can't!" he said. "Go away!" + +But Ben did not listen. He climbed over the fence and reached for the trunk. The elephant was very mad. He swung his trunk and hit Ben hard. Ben fell to the ground and cried. + +"Ben, no!" his mom shouted. She ran to him and picked him up. She was scared and sad. She hugged him and checked if he was hurt. + +"Mommy, it hurts!" Ben sobbed. "The elephant was mean to me!" + +"Ben, you were naughty!" his mom said. "You should not climb over the fence and touch the elephant. He did not want you to do that. He was afraid of you. You should be grateful that he did not hurt you more. You could have been very sick or dead." + +Ben did not understand. He was still angry and hurt. He did not like the elephant or the zoo. He wanted to go home. He did not say sorry to the elephant or his mom. He learned nothing. He was a bad boy. +Ben and Sam are brothers. They like to play with their toys and their dog, Rex. Rex is a big, white dog. He is very friendly and likes to run and jump. + +One day, Ben and Sam are playing in the yard with Rex. They see their dad coming home from work. He has a bag in his hand.

They smell something good. They say, "What is it, dad?" + +Dad says, "It's steak. I bought some steak for dinner. Do you like steak?" + +Ben and Sam nod and say, "Yes, we like steak. Steak is yummy. Can we have some now?" + +Dad says, "Not now, boys. We have to cook the steak first. We have to raise the fire and put the steak on the grill. Then we have to wait until it's done. Do you want to help me?" + +Ben and Sam say, "Yes, we want to help. Can we raise the fire, dad?" + +Dad says, "Sure, you can help me raise the fire. But be careful, boys. Fire is hot. Don't touch the fire. Only touch the stick. The stick is for raising the fire. Can you do that?" + +Ben and Sam say, "Yes, we can do that. We can raise the fire with the stick. We are big boys. We can help dad." + +Dad says, "That's right, you are big boys. And you are good boys. I'm proud of you. Come on, let's go to the grill and raise the fire. Then we can cook the steak and eat it with Rex. Rex likes steak, too. Don't you, Rex?" + +Rex barks and wags his tail. He likes steak, too. He follows dad and the boys to the grill.

The truck had many colors and pictures. It said "Candy Land". + +"Look, Tom, look!" Mia said. "It is a candy truck. Maybe they have candy for us." + +Tom and Mia ran to the truck. They saw a man. The man had a big smile and a hat. He said "Hello, kids. Do you want some candy?" + +"Yes, please!" Tom and Mia said. They loved candy. + +The man gave them each a bag. The bag had many kinds of candy. There were lollipops, gummies, chocolates, and more. + +"Wow, thank you, mister!" Tom and Mia said. They opened their bags and ate some candy. It was very sweet and yummy. + +But then, something strange happened. The candy made them feel wild. They started to jump and run and shout. They threw candy in the air. They made funny faces and noises. They did not listen to anyone. + +"Stop, kids, stop!" the man said. "The candy is magic. It makes you wild. You have to calm down." + +But Tom and Mia did not stop. They were having too much fun. They ran away from the truck. They went to the park. They played wild games. They scared the birds and the dogs and the other kids. + +"Help, help!" the man said. He tried to catch them. But they were too fast and too wild. He did not know what to do. + +Tom and Mia did not know that the candy had a secret. The magic did not last forever. After a while, the candy made them feel sleepy. They started to yawn and rub their eyes. They did not want to play anymore. They wanted to rest. + +They found a bench. They sat down. They cuddled with their bags of candy. They closed their eyes. They fell asleep. + +The man finally found them. He saw them sleeping on the bench. He felt sorry for them. He knew they did not mean to be wild. He took off his hat. He had a big surprise. He was not a man. He was a clown. + +He smiled. He said "Shh, shh, shh. It is okay, kids. It is okay. You had a wild adventure. But now it is time to dream. Sweet dreams, Tom and Mia. Sweet dreams." +Lily and Ben were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They gave him a carrot nose and two smooth stones for eyes. They were very happy. + +"Look, our snowman is smiling!" Lily said. + +"Yes, he is very nice. But I am cold. Let's go inside and have some hot chocolate," Ben said. + +They ran to the house and knocked on the door. Mom opened it and smiled. + +"Wow, you made a beautiful snowman! But you are shivering. Come in, come in. I have some hot chocolate for you," Mom said. + +She took their coats and hats and gave them each a mug of warm, sweet drink. They sat on the couch and sipped their chocolate. They felt cozy and warm. + +"Mom, can we watch the clock?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, honey. Why do you want to watch the clock?" Mom asked. + +"Because we want to see when it is time for the snowman to go to sleep," Ben said. + +Mom laughed. "The snowman does not sleep, silly. He stays outside all the time." + +"But he will be cold and lonely," Lily said. + +"No, he will be fine. He has his hat and scarf and the stars to keep him company. And he will always be your friend," Mom said. + +Lily and Ben nodded. They finished their chocolate and hugged Mom. Then they went to the window and waved to the snowman. He seemed to wave back with his stick arms. + +"Good night, snowman. We love you," they said. + +"Good night, Lily and Ben. I love you too," the snowman said in his head. He was happy. +Tom and Lily were friends who liked to play with toys. Tom had a big truck that he loved very much. Lily had a doll that she dressed up every day. One day, Lily asked Tom if she could play with his truck. + +"Please, Tom, can I lend your truck for a little while? I want to make a dream come true. I want to pretend that I am driving to the moon and back." Lily said. + +Tom thought for a moment. He did not want to share his truck. He thought it was too difficult to let go of his favorite toy. He said, "No, Lily, you cannot lend my truck. It is mine and only mine. You can play with your doll. Go away." + +Lily felt sad and hurt. She did not understand why Tom was so mean. She went to play with her doll, but she did not have much fun. She still wanted to play with the truck and go to the moon and back. + +The next day, Tom saw Lily playing with her doll again. He felt bored with his truck. He wanted to try something new. He said, "Lily, can I lend your doll for a little while? I want to make a dream come true. I want to pretend that I am a doctor and I can heal your doll." + +Lily looked at Tom. She remembered how he refused to share his truck with her. She felt angry and wanted to say no. But then she thought, maybe Tom learned his lesson. Maybe he was sorry for being mean. Maybe he wanted to be a good friend. She said, "Okay, Tom, you can lend my doll for a little while. But you have to be careful and gentle. And you have to give it back when I ask." + +Tom was happy. He took the doll and pretended to be a doctor. He had fun and learned new things. He also saw how much Lily loved her doll. He felt sorry for being mean to her. He said, "Thank you, Lily, for lending me your doll. You are a good friend. I am sorry for not lending you my truck. Do you want to play with it now? We can both go to the moon and back." + +Lily smiled. She was glad that Tom changed his mind. She said, "Yes, Tom, I would love to play with your truck. You are a good friend too. I am happy that you said sorry. We can both make our dreams come true." + +Tom and Lily played with the truck and the doll. They shared and took turns. They had fun and learned to be kind. They realized that it was not difficult to lend and borrow. It was easy to be friends. +Lily and Tom were playing with their toys in the living room. Lily had a big doll and Tom had a small car. Lily liked to be bossy and tell Tom what to do. + +"Tom, you have to make your car go fast and crash into the wall. Then my doll will come and help you," Lily said. + +"But I don't want to crash my car. I like my car. It is shiny and red," Tom said. + +"Too bad. You have to do what I say. I am the boss of this game," Lily said. She grabbed Tom's car and threw it at the wall. The car broke into pieces and Tom started to cry. + +Lily laughed and said, "See? I told you. Now my doll will come and fix your car. She is a doctor and she has tape." + +Lily took her doll and went to the wall. She picked up some of the pieces of Tom's car and tried to stick them together with tape. But the tape was not strong enough and the pieces fell off again. + +Lily got angry and said, "This tape is no good. It is not sticky. I need something better." + +She looked around and saw a pair of scissors on the table. She had an idea. She took the scissors and said, "I know. I will use these. They are sharp. They can cut the tape and make it sticky." + +She ran to the wall with the scissors in her hand. But she was not careful and she tripped over a rug. The scissors flew out of her hand and hit Tom in the eye. Tom screamed and blood came out of his eye. Lily was scared and dropped her doll. + +Mom and Dad heard the noise and came running. They saw Tom and Lily and the mess. They were shocked and angry. They called an ambulance and took Tom to the hospital. Lily had to stay home and face the consequences. She was in big trouble and felt very sorry. She wished she had not been so bossy and mean. She hoped Tom would be okay. She learned a hard lesson. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play with fire. They had a box of matches that they hid under their bed. One day, when their mom was out, they decided to light some matches and watch them burn. They thought it was fun and pretty. + +"Look, Ben, this one is red and yellow!" Lily said, holding a match near her face. + +"Don't be silly, Lily, you have to blow it out before it burns you!" Ben said, grabbing the match from her hand and blowing it out. He threw it on the floor and lit another one. + +They did not see that the match on the floor had landed on a paper. The paper caught fire and soon the fire spread to the curtains and the carpet. The room was filled with smoke and flames. + +"Help! Help!" Lily and Ben screamed, running to the door. They tried to open it, but it was locked. They had forgotten to unlock it when they started playing with fire. + +Their mom came home and smelled the smoke. She ran to their room and saw the fire. She quickly got a key and opened the door. She grabbed Lily and Ben and carried them out of the room. She called the firemen to put out the fire. + +Lily and Ben were coughing and crying. They were scared and sorry. Their mom hugged them and said, "Are you okay, my darlings? You are very lucky that I came home in time. Do you know what you did was very wrong and dangerous?" + +"Yes, mom, we are sorry. We won't play with fire again. We were stupid and curious." Lily and Ben said. + +Their mom gave them a lecture about fire safety. She told them that fire can burn things and people and cause a lot of damage. She told them that they should never play with matches or lighters or candles or anything that can make fire. She told them that they should always listen to her and follow the rules. She told them that she loved them and wanted them to be safe and happy. + +Lily and Ben learned their lesson. They apologized to their mom and promised to be good and careful. They realized that their mom was charming and wise. They hugged her and thanked her for saving them. They never played with fire again. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big basket on a bench. The basket had many fruits and breads inside. Lily and Ben were hungry. They wanted to eat some of the food. + +"Let's take some apples and bananas," Lily said. "They look yummy." + +"No, we can't do that," Ben said. "The basket belongs to someone else. It is not nice to take things that are not ours." + +But Lily did not listen. She ran to the basket and grabbed an apple. She took a big bite. Then she made a face. The apple was smelly and rotten. + +"Yuck!" Lily said. "This apple is bad. It tastes like dirt." + +She threw the apple on the ground. Then she reached for a banana. But before she could peel it, she heard a loud voice. + +"Hey, you! What are you doing with my basket?" It was an old man. He was the owner of the basket. He was angry. He walked to Lily and Ben. He slapped Lily's hand and took the banana from her. + +"Ow!" Lily said. "That hurt. Why did you slap me?" + +"Because you are a naughty girl," the old man said. "You are stealing my food. This is my basket. I was going to give it to the poor people. But you ruined it. Now the food is smelly and dirty. You should be ashamed of yourself." + +Lily and Ben felt sorry. They knew they did something wrong. They said sorry to the old man. They helped him clean the basket. They learned a lesson. They never took things that were not theirs again. +Tim liked to play hockey with his friends. He had a stick and a puck and he wore a helmet and gloves. He was good at hitting the puck and scoring goals. He was proud of his hockey skills. + +One day, he went to the park with his friends to play hockey. There was a big ice rink where they could skate and play. Tim was excited and he wanted to show off his skills. He skated fast and tried to hit the puck hard. But he was careless and he did not look where he was going. + +He bumped into a girl who was also skating on the ice. She fell down and dropped her hat and scarf. She was not happy. She looked at Tim and said, "Hey, watch where you are going! You are so careless! You made me fall and you messed up my hat and scarf!" + +Tim felt bad. He did not mean to bump into the girl. He said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I did not see you. Are you okay? Here, let me help you." He picked up her hat and scarf and gave them to her. He helped her get up and asked if she was hurt. + +The girl was not hurt, but she was still angry. She said, "You should be more careful. You could have hurt me or yourself. You should not play hockey here. This is not a hockey rink. This is a skating rink. Go play hockey somewhere else!" + +Tim felt embarrassed. He did not know that this was not a hockey rink. He thought he could play hockey anywhere. He looked around and saw that everyone was staring at him. He felt his face turn red. He said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I did not know. I will go play hockey somewhere else." He took his stick and puck and skated away. He felt sad and ashamed. He wished he had been more careful. He learned a lesson that day. He learned to be more careful and to respect other people's space. He hoped the girl would forgive him. He hoped his friends would not laugh at him. He hoped he could still play hockey and have fun. +Ben and Sam are friends. They like to play with trains. They have many trains and tracks in their room. They make a big station with bridges and tunnels. They are happy. + +One day, Ben finds a hat in his closet. It is a red hat with a star. It is a hat for train drivers. Ben wants to wear the hat. He puts it on his head and looks in the mirror. He smiles. + +"Look, Sam, I am a train driver!" Ben says. He runs to the station with the hat. "I can drive any train I want!" + +Sam sees the hat. He likes the hat too. He wants to wear the hat. He says to Ben, "Can I try the hat? It is a fine hat. Please, Ben, let me try." + +Ben shakes his head. He does not want to share the hat. He says to Sam, "No, Sam, this is my hat. I found it. You cannot wear it. Go away, Sam. I do not want to play with you." + +Sam feels sad and angry. He does not like Ben anymore. He thinks Ben is mean. He says to Ben, "Fine, Ben, I do not want to play with you either. You are a bad friend. You are selfish. I will play with my own trains." + +Sam takes his trains and tracks and leaves the room. He goes to the living room and makes a new station. He does not talk to Ben. He does not look at Ben. + +Ben stays in the room with the hat and the station. He drives the trains with the hat. He thinks he is happy. But he is not. He is lonely. He misses Sam. He wants to play with Sam. He wants to say sorry to Sam. But he does not know how. He does not know what to do. He cries. He wishes he did not wear the hat. He wishes he shared the hat. He wishes he was a good friend. But it is too late. Sam does not want to be his friend anymore. Ben has lost his friend. He has lost his fun. He has lost his smile. He has only the hat. The hat that made him lose everything. The end. +Lily and Ben were at the park with their mom. They saw a chubby clown who was making balloons for the kids. Lily wanted a pink balloon, and Ben wanted a blue one. + +"Can we have a balloon, mom?" they asked. + +"Sure, go and ask the clown nicely," mom said. + +Lily and Ben ran to the clown and waited in line. When it was their turn, they said, "Hello, Mr. Clown, can we have a balloon, please?" + +The clown smiled and said, "Of course, what kind of balloon do you want?" + +Lily said, "I want a pink balloon, please." + +Ben said, "I want a blue balloon, please." + +The clown nodded and started to make the balloons. He twisted and turned the rubber and made a pink flower for Lily and a blue dog for Ben. + +"Here you go, kids, enjoy your balloons," the clown said, handing them the balloons. + +"Thank you, Mr. Clown, they are very pretty," Lily said. + +"Thank you, Mr. Clown, they are very cool," Ben said. + +They hugged the clown and ran back to their mom. + +But on the way, a big wind came and blew their balloons away. Lily and Ben cried and chased after their balloons, but they were too fast and too high. + +"Mom, mom, our balloons are gone, help us, please," they sobbed. + +Mom hugged them and said, "I'm sorry, sweeties, sometimes the wind is naughty and takes things away. But don't worry, we can get you new balloons another day." + +Lily and Ben sniffed and nodded. They were sad, but they knew mom was right. They said goodbye to the clown and thanked him again. Then they went home and had some cookies and milk. They felt better and played with their toys. They hoped to see the clown again and get new balloons. +Ben and Sam were brothers who liked to play on the farm. They had a big red truck that they drove around the fields. One day, they saw a big black bull in a pen. The bull looked angry and loud. + +"Let's spray the bull with water!" Ben said. He was eager to have some fun. He took a hose from the truck and turned it on. + +"No, Ben, that's a bad idea!" Sam said. He was scared of the bull. He knew the bull could hurt them. "The bull will get mad and chase us!" + +But Ben did not listen to Sam. He sprayed the bull with water. The water hit the bull's face and made him wet. The bull snorted and shook his head. He did not like the water. He was very mad. + +The bull saw Ben and Sam in the truck. He ran towards them with his horns. He wanted to make them stop. He wanted to make them pay. + +"Drive, Sam, drive!" Ben shouted. He was sorry he sprayed the bull. He was afraid of the bull. He wanted to get away. + +But Sam could not drive fast enough. The bull was faster and stronger. He caught up with the truck and hit it with his horns. He made a big hole in the truck. He made the truck stop. + +Ben and Sam screamed. They were trapped in the truck. They could not get out. They could not run. They could not hide. The bull was angry and loud. He was ready to hurt them. He was ready to win. +Lily liked to sing. She had a cute microphone that her dad gave her. She sang all the time, in her room, in the car, in the park. She made up songs about her toys, her friends, her family. She wanted to be a star. + +One day, her mom took her to a big store. There were many people and many things. Lily saw a big stage with lights and speakers. She wanted to go there. She pulled her mom's hand and said, "Mom, can I sing on the stage?" + +Her mom smiled and said, "Sure, honey, but you have to wait your turn. There are other kids who want to sing too. You have to yield to them." + +Lily nodded and waited. She saw a boy sing a song about dinosaurs. She saw a girl sing a song about rainbows. She saw a baby cry and drop the microphone. She clapped for them and said, "Good job!" + +Finally, it was her turn. She ran to the stage and grabbed the microphone. She felt excited and nervous. She looked at the people and said, "Hello, I'm Lily and I'm going to sing a song for you. It's a song I made up. It's called 'I Love My Microphone'." + +She sang with a loud and happy voice. She sang about how her microphone was her best friend, how it made her feel brave and strong, how it helped her share her dreams. She sang and sang and sang. The people listened and smiled. They liked her song. They liked her voice. They liked her. + +When she finished, they clapped and cheered. They said, "Bravo, Lily! You're a star!" Lily felt proud and happy. She bowed and said, "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" + +She ran back to her mom and hugged her. She said, "Mom, did you hear me? Did you like my song?" + +Her mom hugged her back and said, "I heard you, honey, and I loved your song. You did a great job. You're amazing." + +Lily smiled and said, "Thank you, mom. I love you. And I love my microphone." +Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big house with a red door. They want to see what is inside. + +"Look, there is a key under the mat!" Sara says. She picks up the key and opens the door. "Let's go in!" + +Tom is scared. He does not want to go in. He thinks someone lives in the house. "No, Sara, we should not go in. It is not our house. It is wrong." + +Sara does not listen. She is curious. She pulls Tom by the hand and goes in. The house is dark and dusty. There are many things on the floor and on the shelves. Sara and Tom look around. + +"Wow, look at this!" Sara says. She finds a shiny necklace with a big stone. She puts it on her neck. "I look like a princess!" + +Tom is bored. He does not like the necklace. He sees a book with pictures. He opens the book and looks at the pictures. He likes the book. + +Sara and Tom forget about the time. They forget about the key. They forget about the door. They are busy with the things in the house. + +Suddenly, they hear a loud noise. It is the door. Someone is coming in. It is the owner of the house. He is angry. He sees Sara and Tom. He sees the necklace and the book. He shouts at them. + +"Who are you? What are you doing in my house? You are thieves! You are bad children! Give me back my things!" + +Sara and Tom are scared. They try to run away. But they cannot. The door is locked. They left the key under the mat. They are trapped. + +The owner of the house is not compassionate. He does not care that Sara and Tom are young and made a mistake. He calls the police. He wants them to go to jail. + +Sara and Tom cry. They wish they never went in the house. They wish they listened to Tom. They wish they did not forget the key. They are sorry. But it is too late. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big hill with grass and flowers. They wanted to go up the hill and see what was on the other side. + +"Let's go, let's go!" Tom said. He took Lily's hand and they started to run. They ran fast and hard. They felt the wind in their hair and the sun on their faces. They were happy. + +They reached the top of the hill and looked around. They saw a pond with ducks and a bridge. They saw a playground with swings and a slide. They saw a black dog with a red collar. The dog was barking and wagging its tail. + +"Look, a dog!" Lily said. She liked dogs. She wanted to pet the dog and play with it. She let go of Tom's hand and ran towards the dog. + +"Wait, Lily, wait!" Tom said. He was scared. He did not like dogs. He thought the dog was big and loud and mean. He wanted to stay away from the dog. He ran after Lily and tried to catch her. + +But Lily was too fast. She reached the dog and bent down to touch it. The dog licked her face and jumped on her. Lily laughed and hugged the dog. She was not scared. She was happy. + +"Hi, doggy, hi!" Lily said. She looked at the dog's collar and saw a name. "Your name is Max. You are a good dog, Max." + +Tom stopped and watched. He saw that the dog was not mean. He saw that the dog was friendly and playful. He saw that Lily was having fun. He felt silly for being scared. He wanted to join them. + +He walked slowly towards the dog and Lily. He smiled and said hello. + +"Hi, Tom, hi!" Lily said. She held out her hand and said, "This is Max. He is a nice dog. Do you want to pet him?" + +Tom nodded and reached out his hand. He touched the dog's fur and felt how soft and warm it was. The dog licked his hand and wagged its tail. Tom laughed and petted the dog. He was not scared. He was happy. + +They played with the dog for a while. They threw a stick and the dog fetched it. They ran and chased the dog and the dog chased them. They rolled on the grass and the dog licked their faces. They had fun. + +They heard a whistle and saw a man walking towards them. He had a leash in his hand. He was the dog's owner. + +"Max, come here, boy!" the man said. He smiled and waved at Tom and Lily. "Hello, kids. I see you've met my dog. He likes to play with you." + +"Hello, sir," Tom and Lily said. They got up and said goodbye to the dog. "We like your dog. He is a good dog. His name is Max." + +"Yes, he is a good dog. And his name is Max. He likes you too. Maybe we'll see you again sometime," the man said. He put the leash on the dog and said, "Come on, Max, let's go home." + +"Bye, Max, bye!" Tom and Lily said. They waved at the dog and the man. They watched them walk away. + +They looked at each other and smiled. They had made a new friend. They felt happy. + +They held hands and ran down the hill. They wanted to play some more. They had a lot of fun. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play outside in the park. They see many leaves on the ground. Some leaves are red, some are yellow, some are brown. + +"Look, Lily, I found a big red leaf!" Ben says. He holds the leaf in his hand. "It is so pretty and shiny!" + +Lily looks at the leaf. She likes it too. She wants to find a red leaf for herself. She looks around, but she only sees regular leaves. Regular leaves are green and small. They are not pretty and shiny. + +"I can't find a red leaf, Ben," Lily says. She feels sad. "All the leaves are regular. They are boring." + +Ben sees that Lily is sad. He wants to make her happy. He thinks for a moment. Then he has an idea. + +"Here, Lily, you can have my red leaf," Ben says. He gives the leaf to Lily. "It is a gift for you. You are my friend." + +Lily smiles. She takes the red leaf from Ben. She feels happy. She hugs Ben. + +"Thank you, Ben, you are very kind," Lily says. "You are my friend too. Do you want a regular leaf? I have many." + +Ben nods. He likes regular leaves too. He takes a regular leaf from Lily. He hugs her back. + +"You're welcome, Lily, you are very sweet," Ben says. "I like regular leaves too. They are not boring. They are fun." + +Lily and Ben laugh. They play with the leaves. They make a pile of leaves and jump on it. They have a lot of fun. They are happy. They are friends. +Anna likes to play with her dolls. She has many dolls with different dresses and shoes. She likes to make them talk and sing and dance. Sometimes she puts on a show for her mom and dad. + +One day, Anna finds a sock on the floor. It is a big sock with stripes and holes. She thinks it looks funny.

They are happy. +Lily and Tom were going to the park with Mom. They put on their boots and coats because it was raining. Mom gave them each an umbrella to hold. + +"Look, Mom, I have a red umbrella!" Lily said. + +"And I have a blue one!" Tom said. + +They stepped outside and opened their umbrellas. They heard a loud noise. It was a big truck driving by. It splashed water on the road. + +"Wow, that was loud!" Lily said. + +"It scared me!" Tom said. + +Mom hugged them and said, "Don't worry, it's just a truck. It won't hurt you. Let's go to the park and have some fun." + +They stepped on the sidewalk and followed Mom. They saw some puddles on the way. They jumped and splashed in the puddles. They laughed and had fun. + +They reached the park and saw some swings and slides. They put their umbrellas down and ran to play. They forgot about the loud truck and the rain.

Sometimes she got stickers or sweets or toys. She hoped that today she would get some post. + +She ran to the door when she heard the postman knock. She said hello and smiled. The postman gave her a big yellow envelope. He said it was for her. He said it was from her grandma. He said it was interesting. Lily thanked him and waved goodbye. + +She ran to the sofa and sat down. She opened the envelope carefully. She saw a card with a picture of a cake and candles. She saw the words "Happy Birthday Lily". She saw a number three. She remembered that today was her birthday. She felt happy. + +She opened the card and saw more words. She could not read them, but she knew they were nice. She saw a shiny coin. She knew it was money. She could buy something with it. She wondered what she could buy. She felt excited. + +She opened the envelope more and saw something else. She pulled it out. It was a book. It had a picture of a bear and a honey pot on the cover. It had a lot of pages.

They liked to make noises and pretend they were driving on the road. + +"Look, Lily, I have a license!" Ben said, holding up a card with his name and picture on it. He had made it with his mom yesterday. "I can drive any car I want!" + +"Wow, Ben, that's cool!" Lily said, admiring his license. "Can I see it?" + +"Sure, here you go!" Ben said, handing her the card. "But be careful, don't lose it or bend it!" + +Lily took the card and looked at it closely. She saw Ben's smile and his blue eyes. She saw the letters and numbers. She saw the word "license". She wanted to have one too. + +"Can I have a license, Ben?" Lily asked. "Can you make one for me?" + +"Maybe later, Lily," Ben said. "But now let's play some more. I want to drive the big red truck. It's fast and loud!" + +"OK, Ben," Lily said. She gave him back the card and picked up a yellow car. She liked the yellow car. It was shiny and cute. + +They drove their cars on the grass and the dirt. They made turns and stops and honks. They had fun and laughed. + +But then, Lily saw something. She saw a puddle of water near the fence. It was from the hose that dad had used to water the plants. The puddle looked wet and sparkly. Lily had an idea. + +"Hey, Ben, look!" Lily said. She drove her yellow car towards the puddle. "Let's make our cars soak!" + +Ben looked at the puddle. He did not like the idea. He liked his cars dry and clean. He did not want them to get wet and muddy. + +"No, Lily, don't do that!" Ben said. He tried to stop her, but he was too late. Lily reached the puddle and drove her car into it. She splashed the water and made a big mess. She giggled and said, "Whee!" + +Ben was angry. He drove his big red truck after her. He wanted to get his license back from her. He did not want it to soak too. He reached the puddle and grabbed the card from her hand. But he was clumsy. He slipped and fell into the puddle. He soaked his clothes and his hair and his face. He dropped his license and his truck into the water. He cried and said, "Ow!" + +Lily was sorry. She did not mean to make Ben cry. She got out of the puddle and helped him up. She said, "I'm sorry, Ben. I was just playing. Are you OK?" + +Ben was not OK. He was wet and dirty and sad. He looked at his license and his truck. They were wet and dirty too. He said, "No, Lily. You ruined my license and my truck. They were my favorite things. Now they are no good." + +Lily felt bad. She wanted to make Ben happy. She said, "I'm sorry, Ben. I can help you clean them. Maybe they are still good. Maybe we can dry them and fix them. Maybe we can make a new license for you. And for me too. Please don't be mad at me." + +Ben looked at Lily. He saw her eyes and her smile. He saw that she was his friend. He saw that she was sorry. He felt a little better. He said, "OK, Lily. Maybe you are right. Maybe we can still play. But next time, don't make our cars soak. OK?" + +"OK, Ben," Lily said. She hugged him and said, "You are my friend. I like you." + +They went inside the house. They cleaned their cars and their clothes and their faces. They dried their license and their truck. They made a new license for Lily. They played some more. They were happy. +Lily was a little girl who loved to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Anna. Anna had a red dress and a yellow hat. Lily took Anna everywhere she went.

She ran to her mom and left Anna on the grass. + +When Lily and her mom were ready to go home, Lily looked for Anna. But she could not find her. She looked everywhere, but Anna was gone. Lily felt very sad. She cried and cried. She had lost her favorite doll. + +Lily's mom tried to make her feel better. She said, "Don't worry, Lily. Maybe someone found Anna and took her to a nice place. Maybe Anna is happy with a new friend. Maybe Anna is in a new nation, where she can see new things and learn new words." + +Lily did not understand what a nation was, but she liked the idea of Anna being happy. She wiped her tears and said, "Maybe you are right, mom. Maybe Anna is happy. I hope she is. I miss her, but I love her." + +Lily and her mom hugged and went home. Lily still felt sad, but she also felt hopeful. She hoped that Anna was happy, and that someday, she would see her again. +Sam and Tom were brothers. They liked to play on the carpet in their room. They had many toys and books on the carpet. They also liked to wave at the cars and people outside their window. + +One day, Sam and Tom saw a big truck outside their window. It was red and shiny and loud. It had a big hose and a ladder. Sam and Tom wanted to see what it was doing. They waved at the truck and the men in it. + +The truck stopped in front of their house. The men got out and ran to the door. They had helmets and coats and boots. They looked angry and scared. They knocked on the door and shouted something. + +Sam and Tom did not know what was happening. They were curious and afraid. They ran to the door and opened it. They saw smoke and fire in the hall. They smelled something bad. They heard a loud beep. + +The men grabbed Sam and Tom and carried them outside. They put them on the grass and told them to stay there. They went back inside with the hose and the ladder. They tried to put out the fire. + +Sam and Tom cried and hugged each other. They did not understand why their house was on fire. They did not know where their mom and dad were. They did not know if they would ever play on the carpet again. They did not feel normal. They felt sad and lost. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the garden. They see a big pile of dirt. They want to build something. + +"What do you want to build?" Lily asks Ben. + +"Let's build a castle!" Ben says. "We can use sticks and stones and leaves." + +"OK!" Lily says. "I will find some sticks and stones. You find some leaves." + +They start to build. They work hard. They make walls and towers and a gate. They are happy. + +"Look at our castle!" Ben says. "It is big and strong." + +"It is very nice!" Lily says. "But it needs something more." + +"What does it need?" Ben asks. + +Lily thinks. She sees some red things in the bushes. She runs to them. They are strawberries. They are sweet and juicy. + +"I know!" Lily says. "We can use strawberries to decorate our castle. They will make it pretty and yummy." + +"Good idea!" Ben says. "Let's pick some strawberries." + +They pick some strawberries. They put them on the walls and towers and gate. They make patterns and shapes. They are proud. + +"Our castle is done!" Lily says. "It is the best castle ever!" + +"It is!" Ben says. "And we can eat some strawberries too." + +They eat some strawberries. They are delicious. They share them with their mums and dads. They are happy. They hug each other. + +"We are good builders!" Lily says. + +"We are!" Ben says. "And good friends!" +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to visit their grandma every week. Grandma lived in a small house with a big garden and a friendly dog named Spot. Grandma always had cookies and stories for them, and she walked with a cane because her legs were old and sore. + +One day, when Lily and Ben arrived at grandma's house, they saw that Spot was not there. They asked grandma where he was, and she said he was at the vet. She said he had eaten something bad and was very sick. Lily and Ben felt sad and worried for Spot. They hugged grandma and said they hoped he would get better soon. + +Grandma said she had a surprise for them. She took them to the garden and showed them a big box with holes in it. She said she had found a baby bird that had fallen from its nest and had brought it home to take care of it. She said they could help her feed it and watch it grow. Lily and Ben were very excited and curious. They peeked inside the box and saw a tiny, fluffy bird that chirped softly. + +Grandma said the bird needed a name, and asked them what they wanted to call it. Lily said she wanted to name it Cookie, because it was sweet and brown. Ben said he wanted to name it Spot, because it had a white spot on its head and reminded him of their dog. Grandma said they could both be right, and they could call it Cookie Spot. Lily and Ben liked that name and agreed. + +They spent the afternoon feeding Cookie Spot with a dropper, stroking its feathers, and singing to it. They saw that Cookie Spot was calm and happy in the box, and they felt calm and happy too. They thanked grandma for the surprise and said they loved her and Cookie Spot. Grandma said she loved them too, and said they could visit Cookie Spot again next week. She said maybe by then, Spot the dog would be back home too. Lily and Ben smiled and hoped so. They said goodbye to grandma and Cookie Spot, and went home with their mom. They had a good day. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park with their toys. They liked to make shapes with the blocks and the sticks. Lily made a square and Ben made a circle. They were happy. + +But then they saw something new. It was a big red thing with three sides. It was a triangle. They had never seen a triangle before. They wanted to see it better. + +"Let's go there," Lily said to Ben. "Maybe it is a toy too." + +"OK," Ben said. They left their toys and wandered to the triangle. It was very far and very high. They had to walk a lot and look up a lot. + +When they reached the triangle, they saw that it was not a toy. It was a sign. It said "Stop". It was for the cars and the bikes. It was enormous. + +"Wow," Lily said. "This is not a toy. This is a sign. It tells the cars and the bikes to stop." + +"Why?" Ben asked. + +"Because there is a road here. And the road is dangerous. We have to be careful," Lily said. + +They looked at the road. They saw many cars and bikes going fast. They heard loud noises. They felt scared. + +"Let's go back," Ben said. "I don't like it here." + +"Me too," Lily said. They turned around and wandered back to their toys. They were glad to see their square and their circle. They were safe and happy. +Ben likes to polish his toy cars. He has many cars of different colors and sizes. He uses a soft cloth and some water to make them shiny and clean. He puts them on his shelf and looks at them with a smile. + +One day, Ben finds a new car in his room. It is big and red and has a siren on top. It is a fire truck. Ben is very happy. He wants to polish it and put it on his shelf. But the fire truck is very dirty. It has mud and dust and scratches on it. + +Ben takes the fire truck to the bathroom. He fills the sink with water and soap. He dips the cloth in the water and starts to polish the fire truck. He rubs and rubs and rubs. He tries to make it shiny and clean. But the fire truck is very hard. It does not become shiny and clean. It stays dirty and dull. + +Ben is sad. He does not like the fire truck anymore. He thinks it is a bad car. He throws it on the floor and runs to his room. He cries on his bed. He does not want to play with his cars anymore. + +Mom hears Ben crying. She goes to his room and sees him on his bed. She asks him what is wrong. Ben tells her about the fire truck. He says it is a bad car. He says he cannot polish it. He says he does not like it. + +Mom hugs Ben and tells him not to cry. She tells him that the fire truck is not a bad car. She tells him that it is a special car. She tells him that it is a car that helps people. She tells him that it is a car that puts out fires. She tells him that it is a car that is brave and strong. + +Mom takes Ben to the bathroom. She shows him the fire truck on the floor. She picks it up and tells him to look at it. She tells him to see the mud and the dust and the scratches. She tells him that they are not dirt. She tells him that they are marks of courage. She tells him that they are signs of work. She tells him that they are stories of rescue. + +Mom tells Ben to polish the fire truck again. But this time, not to make it shiny and clean. But to make it proud and happy. She tells him to polish it with love and respect. She tells him to polish it with gratitude and admiration. She tells him to polish it with a smile. + +Ben listens to Mom. He takes the cloth and the water and starts to polish the fire truck again. He rubs and rubs and rubs. He does not try to make it shiny and clean. He tries to make it proud and happy. He polishes it with love and respect. He polishes it with gratitude and admiration. He polishes it with a smile. + +Ben looks at the fire truck. It is still big and red and has a siren on top. It is still dirty and dull. But it is also brave and strong. It is also helpful and kind. It is also special and wonderful. + +Ben is happy. He likes the fire truck very much. He thanks Mom for telling him about it. He hugs Mom and tells her he loves her. He takes the fire truck to his room. He puts it on his shelf. He looks at it with a smile. +Lily and Max were hungry. They wanted to eat spaghetti for lunch. Mom said she would make them some. She put a big pot of water on the stove and waited for it to boil. + +"Can I help, Mom?" Lily asked. She liked to cook with Mom. + +"Sure, sweetie. You can show Max how to break the spaghetti in half and put it in the water," Mom said. She gave Lily a handful of spaghetti. + +Lily took the spaghetti and snapped it in half. She showed Max how to do it. Max tried to copy her, but he snapped the spaghetti too hard and it flew across the kitchen. + +"Oops!" Max said. He giggled. + +"Be careful, Max. Don't make a mess," Mom said. She smiled. + +Lily and Max put the spaghetti in the water. Mom stirred it with a spoon. She added some salt and some sauce. She tasted the sauce. She made a face. + +"Yuck! This sauce is bitter. I think it is old," Mom said. She threw the sauce in the trash. + +"What is bitter, Mom?" Lily asked. + +"Bitter is when something tastes bad and makes your mouth feel funny. Like a lemon or a grapefruit," Mom said. + +"I don't like bitter things. I like sweet things. Like candy and cake," Max said. + +"Me too," Lily said. + +"Don't worry, kids. I have another sauce. It is not bitter. It is yummy. It has cheese and tomatoes and basil. Do you want to try it?" Mom asked. + +"Yes, please!" Lily and Max said. + +Mom opened a new jar of sauce and poured it over the cooked spaghetti. She mixed it well and put it on a big plate. She gave Lily and Max some forks and napkins. + +"Here you go. Enjoy your spaghetti," Mom said. + +"Thank you, Mom. You are the best cook," Lily said. + +"Thank you, Mom. You are the best mom," Max said. + +They ate their spaghetti and licked their lips. They were happy and full. They loved spaghetti. And they loved Mom. +Sara and Ben went to the zoo with their mom. They saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and elephants. They liked to watch them and learn their names. But their favorite place was the bird house, where they could see colorful and noisy parrots. + +One parrot was very big and had red, blue, and green feathers. He was sitting on a perch and talking to the people who came by. He said things like "Hello", "Pretty bird", and "Give me a cracker". Sara and Ben thought he was funny and wanted to talk to him too. + +They went closer to the parrot and said "Hi, parrot. What is your name?" The parrot looked at them and said "Hi, kids. My name is Max. Do you want to be my friends?" Sara and Ben nodded and smiled. They thought Max was friendly and harmless. + +But then, Max did something that scared them. He opened his big beak and bit the perch hard. He made a loud noise and shook his head. He said "I'm a pirate parrot. Arrr! I like to bite and fight. Stay away from me or I'll bite you too!" Sara and Ben gasped and ran away. They did not want to be friends with Max anymore. + +They found their mom and told her what happened. She hugged them and said "Don't worry, kids. Max was just playing a game. He can't really hurt you. He's a harmless parrot. But he likes to pretend he's a pirate sometimes. Maybe he watched too many pirate movies. Let's go see some other birds that are nicer and quieter." Sara and Ben agreed and followed their mom. They hoped they would not meet any more pirate parrots. +One day, Sam and his mom went to the beach. They saw many things in the water and on the sand. Sam liked to look for shells and rocks. He found a big shell that was closed. He asked his mom, "What is this?" + +His mom said, "That is an oyster, Sam. It is a kind of animal that lives in the water. Sometimes, it has a pearl inside. A pearl is a shiny ball that people like to wear." + +Sam was curious. He wanted to see the pearl. He tried to open the shell, but it was too hard. He asked his mom, "How can I open it?" + +His mom said, "You can't open it with your hands, Sam. You need a special tool or a knife. But be careful, it can be sharp. Or you can bake it in the oven. That will make it open by itself." + +Sam liked the idea of baking the oyster. He said, "Let's bake it, mom. Maybe we will find a pearl. And maybe we can eat the oyster. I want to try it." + +His mom smiled. She said, "You are very brave, Sam. And very generous. You want to share the oyster with me. OK, let's bake it. But first, we need to wash it and wrap it in foil. Then we can put it in the oven for a few minutes." + +They went home and did what his mom said. They waited for the oyster to bake. When they heard a pop, they knew it was ready. They opened the foil and saw the oyster. It was open and steaming. They also saw something shiny in the middle. It was a pearl! + +Sam was very happy. He said, "Look, mom, we found a pearl! It is so pretty. Can I keep it?" + +His mom said, "Of course, Sam. It is yours. You found it. You can make a necklace or a bracelet with it. Or you can just keep it as a treasure." + +Sam said, "Thank you, mom. You are the best. Can we eat the oyster now?" + +His mom said, "Sure, Sam. Let's try it. It might be yummy. Or it might be yucky. But we will never know until we taste it." + +They each took a bite of the oyster. They made funny faces. They did not like it. It was too salty and slimy. They spit it out and laughed. + +They said, "We don't like oysters. But we like pearls. And we like baking. And we like each other." + +They hugged and kissed. They had a fun day at the beach. They learned something new. And they found a special gift from the sea. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. They watch the birds, the flowers and the swings. They have fun. + +One day, they see a big brown dog. The dog is not on a leash. The dog runs to them and barks. Lily and Tom are scared. They want to go away. + +"Help! Help!" they shout. "Where is the exit?" + +A nice lady hears them. She comes to them and holds their hands. She takes them to the exit. The exit is a gate. The lady opens the gate and lets them out. + +"Thank you, thank you!" Lily and Tom say. "You are very kind." + +The lady smiles. She says, "You are welcome. But you should be careful. Not all dogs are friendly. Some dogs can bite. You should always ask the owner before you touch a dog. And you should never run away from a dog. That makes them chase you. Do you understand?" + +Lily and Tom nod. They say, "Yes, we understand. We will be careful next time. We will ask the owner. We will not run away." + +The lady hugs them. She says, "Good. I am glad you learned something. Now, go and play. But stay away from the big brown dog." + +Lily and Tom say goodbye to the lady. They go and play. But they watch the big brown dog. They do not go near him. They are safe and happy. +Lily and Ben were playing outside in the park. It was a cold day, so they wore their jackets. Lily had a red jacket and Ben had a blue jacket. They liked to run and jump and slide on the grass. + +"Let's play guess!" Lily said. "I will think of something and you will guess what it is. OK?" + +"OK!" Ben said. "You go first." + +Lily looked around and saw a big tree. She thought of the tree and said, "I am thinking of something green and tall. It has many leaves and a brown trunk. What is it?" + +Ben thought hard. He looked at the grass, the flowers, the bushes, and the tree. He said, "Is it the grass?" + +"No, it is not the grass," Lily said. "The grass is green, but it is not tall. Try again." + +"Is it the flowers?" Ben said. + +"No, it is not the flowers," Lily said. "The flowers are green, but they are not tall. They are small and pretty. Try again." + +"Is it the bushes?" Ben said. + +"No, it is not the bushes," Lily said. "The bushes are green, but they are not tall. They are round and fluffy. Try again." + +Ben was running out of ideas. He looked at the tree again. He thought it might be the tree, but he was not sure. He did not want to be wrong. He did not want Lily to laugh at him. He decided to say something else. He said, "Is it your jacket?" + +Lily was surprised. She looked at her jacket. Her jacket was red, not green. It was not tall, it was small. It did not have leaves or a trunk, it had buttons and a zipper. She said, "No, it is not my jacket. My jacket is red, not green. It is not tall, it is small. It does not have leaves or a trunk, it has buttons and a zipper. Why did you say my jacket?" + +Ben felt foolish. He knew he said the wrong thing. He did not want to admit he did not know the answer. He said, "I was just joking. I knew it was the tree. I was just trying to make you laugh." + +Lily did not believe him. She knew he did not know the answer. She knew he was lying. She did not think it was funny. She thought it was silly. She said, "You were not joking. You were guessing. You guessed wrong. You did not make me laugh. You made me sad. You should not lie. You should say the truth. The truth is better than a lie." + +Ben felt sorry. He knew he made a mistake. He did not want to make Lily sad. He wanted to make her happy. He said, "I am sorry, Lily. You are right. I was guessing. I guessed wrong. I did not know the answer. I should not have lied. I should have said the truth. The truth is better than a lie. Can you forgive me?" + +Lily looked at Ben. She saw he was sorry. She saw he was honest. She liked Ben. She said, "I forgive you, Ben. You are my friend. Friends make mistakes. Friends say sorry. Friends forgive. Friends are happy. Let's play again. But this time, no more lies. Only truth. OK?" + +"OK!" Ben said. "Thank you, Lily. You are my friend. Let's play again. But this time, no more lies. Only truth. OK?" + +They hugged and smiled. They played again. They had fun. They were happy. +Tom and Lily were hungry. They wanted to eat lunch. Mom said, "I have a surprise for you. I made a new salad. It is very original. Do you want to try it?" + +Tom and Lily nodded. They liked to try new things. Mom set the salad on the table. It had green leaves, red tomatoes, yellow cheese, and purple grapes. It looked colorful and yummy. + +"What is this?" Tom asked, pointing to the grapes. + +"Those are grapes. They are sweet and juicy. You can eat them with the salad or by themselves," Mom said. + +"I like grapes. Can I have some?" Lily asked. + +"Of course, you can. Here you go," Mom said, giving Lily a bunch of grapes. + +Tom and Lily ate the salad and the grapes. They liked the original salad. It was crunchy and tasty. They thanked Mom for the lunch. + +"You're welcome, my loves. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Do you want some more?" Mom asked. + +"No, thank you. We are full," Tom and Lily said. + +"OK, then. How about we go to the park and play?" Mom suggested. + +"Yay! Let's go!" Tom and Lily said, jumping up from their chairs. + +They put on their hats and shoes and followed Mom to the door. They were happy and ready for some fun. +Tom was thirsty. He wanted water. He saw a cup on the table. He reached for it. But his mom said, "No, Tom. That is not your water. That is my water. You have your own water in your bottle." + +Tom was angry. He did not want his bottle. He wanted the cup. He said, "Give me the cup! I want the cup! I demand the cup!" He tried to grab the cup from his mom. + +His mom was firm. She said, "No, Tom. You cannot have the cup. You need to ask nicely. And you need to drink your own water. Your water is mild and good for you. My water is hot and has tea in it. You do not like tea. It is bitter and strong." + +Tom did not listen. He cried and kicked. He said, "I do not care! I want the cup! I demand the cup!" He threw his bottle on the floor. + +His mom was sad. She said, "Tom, you are being rude and naughty. You need to calm down and say sorry. You need to pick up your bottle and drink your water. Then you can have a hug and a cookie." + +Tom was tired. He realized he was wrong. He said, "I am sorry, mom. I was bad. I do not want the cup. I want my bottle. I want my water. I want a hug and a cookie." He picked up his bottle and drank his water. It was mild and good for him. He felt better. + +His mom smiled. She said, "That's my good boy. I love you, Tom. Here is a hug and a cookie." She gave him a hug and a cookie. He gave her a kiss and a smile. They were happy. +Lily and Ben are playing with paper. They like to fold the paper and make different shapes. Lily makes a hat, a boat and a star. Ben makes a plane, a frog and a flower. + +"Look, Lily, I made a flower for you!" Ben says, giving her the paper flower. "It is yellow and red, like the sun and the fire." + +"Thank you, Ben, it is very pretty!" Lily says, smiling. "I made a star for you. It is white and shiny, like the moon and the stars." + +They trade their paper shapes and admire them. Then they see a jar of butter on the table. They are curious and hungry. + +"Can we eat some butter?" Lily asks. "It looks yummy and smooth." + +"I don't know, Lily. Mom said we have to wait for lunch. Maybe we can play with it a little." Ben says, opening the jar. + +They dip their fingers in the butter and feel how soft and slippery it is. They spread it on their paper shapes and see how they change. + +"Wow, the butter makes the paper more flexible!" Lily says, bending her paper hat. "It can fold in different ways now." + +"Look, the butter makes the paper more colorful!" Ben says, rubbing his paper plane. "It can shine in different colors now." + +They have fun with their buttery paper shapes, until they hear Mom calling them. + +"Lily, Ben, lunch is ready! Come and wash your hands!" Mom says. + +They quickly hide their paper shapes under the table and run to the bathroom. They wash their hands and their faces, but they still smell like butter. + +Mom sees them and smiles. She knows what they have been doing. + +"Did you have fun with the paper and the butter?" she asks. + +"Yes, Mom, we did!" Lily and Ben say. + +"Well, I'm glad you did, but next time, please ask me before you use the butter. It is for eating, not for playing." Mom says. + +"OK, Mom, we're sorry." Lily and Ben say. + +Mom hugs them and takes them to the kitchen. She has made sandwiches with bread, cheese and butter. They eat them and enjoy them. They think the butter tastes better than it feels. They still have their paper shapes under the table, but they don't tell Mom. They will play with them again later, when Mom is not looking. They like to fold, butter and flex their paper shapes. They are very creative and happy. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play together all the time. They share their toys, their snacks, and their bed. They are very happy. + +One day, Mom says, "Lily and Ben, you are big now. You need to sleep in separate rooms. You have your own beds and your own things. It is good for you." + +Lily and Ben do not like this. They do not want to sleep alone. They want to stay together. They cry and hug each other. + +"Please, Mom, do not separate us. We love each other. We are scared of the dark. We need each other," they say. + +Mom smiles and hugs them too. She says, "I know, my loves. You are great twins. But you can still see each other in the morning and play together all day. Sleeping in separate rooms will help you grow and learn. You can have your own space and your own dreams. And I will always be here for you if you need me. Do you want to try it tonight?" + +Lily and Ben look at each other. They are still sad, but they trust Mom. They nod and say, "OK, Mom. We will try it. But can we have a night light and a teddy bear?" + +Mom says, "Of course, my loves. You can have anything you want. Come on, let's go to your rooms and get ready for bed." + +Mom takes them to their rooms and helps them get cozy. She gives them each a night light and a teddy bear. She kisses them good night and says, "I love you, Lily. I love you, Ben. Sleep well, my great twins." + +Lily and Ben say, "I love you, Mom. Good night." They hold their teddy bears and look at their night lights. They feel a little lonely, but they also feel a little excited. They wonder what they will dream about. They whisper, "Good night, twin. I am here. You are there. But we are still together in our hearts." + +They close their eyes and fall asleep. They have sweet dreams. +Sara liked to draw with her pencil. She made pictures of flowers, animals and people. She was very good at drawing. She wanted to show her mom her drawings, but her mom was busy. She was a nurse and she had to heal many sick people at the hospital. + +One day, Sara saw her mom's pencil on the table. It was a special pencil. It had a red cross on it and it was very shiny. Sara thought it was a magic pencil. She wanted to try it. She took the pencil and went to her room. She started to draw on the wall. + +She drew a big heart and wrote "I love mom" inside it. She drew a sun and a rainbow. She drew a nurse and a doctor. She was very happy. She thought her mom would be happy too. + +But when her mom came home, she was not happy. She was very angry. She saw the wall and shouted at Sara. "What did you do? You ruined the wall! You took my pencil! That was not a magic pencil, that was a marker! It does not come off! You are a bad girl!" + +Sara was very sad. She did not mean to be bad. She wanted to make her mom happy. She said sorry and cried. But her mom did not forgive her. She took the marker and threw it in the trash. She said Sara had to stay in her room and could not draw anymore. + +Sara felt very lonely and sorry. She wished she had not taken the marker. She wished she had listened to her mom. She wished she had been more grateful for her own pencil. + +The moral of the story is: Do not take things that are not yours. Respect other people's belongings. Be grateful for what you have. +Tom and Lily were friends who liked to play outside. One night, they saw many stars in the sky. They were bright and shiny. + +"Look, Tom, stars!" Lily said, pointing up. + +"I see them, Lily. They are pretty," Tom said. + +"Do you think they are hot?" Lily asked. + +"Yes, I think so. They are like small suns, but far away," Tom said. + +"Can we touch them?" Lily wondered. + +"No, we can't. They are too high and too hot. We would get hurt," Tom said. + +"Then can we sing to them?" Lily suggested. + +"Sing to them? Why?" Tom asked. + +"Because they might like it. And maybe they will sing back," Lily said. + +Tom smiled. He liked to sing. He agreed to sing with Lily. They held hands and looked at the stars. They sang a song they learned at school. It was about animals and colors. + +The stars twinkled and blinked. They seemed to listen to the children. Tom and Lily felt happy and warm. They sang until they were sleepy. Then they went home and dreamed of stars. +Lily and Sam liked to pretend. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big gray elephant. They named him Elly and gave him a hat and a scarf. They pretended that Elly was their friend and took him everywhere. + +One day, they went to the park with Elly. They saw a big slide and wanted to try it. They asked Elly to come with them, but he was lazy. He said, "No, thank you. I want to stay here and eat grass." + +Lily and Sam were sad. They said, "Please, Elly, come with us. It will be fun. We will go fast and laugh." But Elly shook his head and said, "No, I am too big and heavy for the slide. You go without me." + +Lily and Sam left Elly on the grass and went to the slide. They had a lot of fun. They went up and down, again and again. They forgot about Elly for a while. + +But when they came back, they saw a bad thing. A big dog had found Elly and was biting him. Elly was torn and dirty. His hat and scarf were gone. He looked very sad. + +Lily and Sam cried. They ran to Elly and hugged him. They said, "We are sorry, Elly. We should not have left you alone. We love you, Elly. Please, don't be hurt." + +But Elly did not answer. He was too hurt to pretend. He was not their friend anymore. He was just a toy. Lily and Sam had lost their favorite elephant. They learned a hard lesson. They wished they had been nicer to Elly. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big balloon. It is red and shiny. They want to play with it. + +"Can we borrow your balloon?" Lily asks a boy. The boy is holding the balloon. He is wearing a mask. The mask is connected to a tank. The tank has oxygen. The boy needs oxygen to breathe. + +"No, you can't borrow my balloon. It is mine. Go away!" the boy says. He is angry and rude. + +Lily and Ben are sad. They think the boy is mean. They walk away. They see a dog. The dog is big and black. It has sharp teeth. It barks at them. It is scary. + +Lily and Ben run away. They are scared. They want to go home. They see the boy with the balloon. The boy is in trouble. The dog is chasing him. The dog wants the balloon. The boy drops the balloon. The balloon flies away. The boy cries. + +Lily and Ben feel sorry for the boy. They are brave. They help the boy. They scare the dog away. They find the balloon. They give it back to the boy. + +"Thank you for helping me. I'm sorry for being mean. Do you want to play with me?" the boy asks. He is nice and friendly. + +Lily and Ben smile. They say yes. They play with the boy and the balloon. They are happy. They are friends. +Lily and Ben like to play with colors. They have many crayons and papers. They make pictures of animals, flowers and houses. They are happy. + +One day, a big storm comes. The wind is loud and scary. The rain is wet and cold. Lily and Ben run to their room. They want to save their colors. They put them in a big box. They hug each other. + +But the storm is too strong. It breaks the roof of their house. The water comes in. It fills the room. It reaches the box. The colors are wet and ruined. Lily and Ben cry. + +"Mommy, Daddy, help us!" they shout. But Mommy and Daddy are not there. They are in the car. They went to the store. They did not know about the storm. They are serious and worried. + +Lily and Ben are alone. They are scared and sad. They have no colors. They have no hope. The end. +Sam and Tom are young. They are friends. They like to play with cars and balls. One day, they go to the park with their moms. They see a big slide. They want to go on the slide. + +Sam runs to the slide first. He climbs up the ladder. He sits on the top. He says, "I go first!" Tom runs after him. He climbs up the ladder too. He says, "No, I go first!" They push and pull. They are angry. + +Their moms see them. They say, "Stop! You have to share! You have to take turns!" But Sam and Tom do not listen. They keep pushing and pulling. They make the slide shake. They make the slide break. The slide falls down. Sam and Tom fall down too. They hurt their knees and elbows. They cry. + +Their moms run to them. They hug them. They say, "Are you okay? You were very naughty! You broke the slide! You have to say sorry!" Sam and Tom are sad. They say sorry to their moms. They say sorry to each other. They hug each other. They are friends again. + +The park man comes. He sees the broken slide. He is angry. He says, "Who did this? Who broke the slide?" Sam and Tom look at each other. They are scared. They say, "We did. We are sorry." The park man says, "You have to pay for the slide. You have to leave the park. You cannot come back." Sam and Tom are very sad. They say, "We are very sorry. We will not do it again." They leave the park with their moms. They end their play. They go home. +Lily and Tom are playing with their toys in the living room. Lily has a doll and Tom has a car. Lily likes to make her doll talk and sing. Tom likes to make his car zoom and crash. + +"Look at my doll, she is so pretty and smart," Lily says to Tom. "She can say hello and thank you and I love you." + +"I don't care about your doll, she is boring and silly," Tom says to Lily. "My car is better, it can go fast and loud and make smoke." + +Lily feels sad and angry. She wants Tom to like her doll and play with her. She thinks Tom is mean and rude. She decides to take his car and hide it under the sofa. + +"Hey, give me back my car, you thief!" Tom shouts at Lily. He runs after her and tries to grab the car. Lily holds the car tight and runs away. She laughs and sticks out her tongue. + +Tom is very impatient and mad. He wants his car back right now. He thinks Lily is naughty and selfish. He decides to take her ear and pull it hard. + +"Ow, ow, ow, let go of my ear, you bully!" Lily cries out. She drops the car and covers her ear. She feels pain and fear. She wishes Tom would stop hurting her. + +Their mom hears the noise and comes into the living room. She sees Lily and Tom fighting and yelling. She feels disappointed and worried. She decides to take them both and hug them gently. + +"Stop, stop, stop, what is going on here?" Mom asks. She looks at their faces and toys. She knows they are not sharing and being kind. She wants them to get along and have fun. + +"I'm sorry, Mom, Lily took my car and hid it," Tom says. He sniffs and wipes his nose. He knows he was wrong to pull Lily's ear. + +"I'm sorry, Mom, Tom didn't like my doll and called her names," Lily says. She sobs and rubs her ear. She knows she was wrong to take Tom's car. + +Mom smiles and kisses them both. She gives them their toys and tells them to say sorry to each other. She hopes they will learn to play nicely and respect each other. + +"I'm sorry, Lily, I like your doll and I want to play with you," Tom says. He gives Lily a hug and a smile.

They laugh and clap and have fun. + +Mom watches them and feels proud and glad. She decides to take a picture and a video and share them with Dad. She thinks they are the best kids in the world. +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They saw some flowers and bees. Lily liked the flowers. She wanted to smell them. Ben liked the bees. He wanted to see where they lived. + +"Look, Lily, there is a hive!" Ben said. He pointed to a big brown thing in a tree. "The bees make honey there. Let's go closer." + +"No, Ben, we should not go there. The bees might sting us. It will hurt. We should leave them alone." Lily said. She was scared of the bees. + +But Ben did not listen. He ran to the tree. He climbed on a branch. He reached for the hive. He wanted to touch it. + +"Ben, stop! Come back!" Lily shouted. She was worried for Ben. + +But it was too late. The bees saw Ben. They were angry. They flew out of the hive. They buzzed around Ben. They stung him on his face and his arms. Ben cried out. He fell from the branch. He landed on the ground. + +Lily ran to Ben. She hugged him. She tried to make him feel better. She said, "I'm sorry, Ben. The bees hurt you. You should have listened to me. Are you okay?" + +Ben sobbed. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I was silly. I should have listened to you. The bees are not nice. They are mean. I don't like them." + +Lily said, "It's okay, Ben. I forgive you. You are my brother. I love you. Let's go to Mom. She will help you. She will put some cream on your stings. She will give you some juice. You will feel better soon." + +Ben nodded. He said, "Thank you, Lily. You are my sister. I love you. You are kind. You are brave. You are smart. I am grateful for you." + +Lily smiled. She said, "You're welcome, Ben. Come on, let's go." She held his hand. They walked to the house. They left the hive and the bees behind. They learned a lesson. They did not bother the bees again. +Lily and Ben were hungry. They wanted to eat something yummy. Mom said they could go to a restaurant. Lily and Ben were happy. + +They got in the car and drove to the restaurant. It was a big place with many tables and chairs. Mom looked at the menu. She frowned. The food was very expensive. She did not have a lot of money. + +"Can we have pizza?" Ben asked. + +"Or pasta?" Lily added. + +Mom shook her head. "No, pizza and pasta are too costly. How about a salad and a sandwich? They are cheap." + +Lily and Ben did not like salad and sandwich. They wanted something else. They made a sad face. + +"Please, Mom, can we have something else?" they begged. + +Mom sighed. She did not know what to do. She looked around. She saw a sign that said "Kids eat free". She smiled. + +"Look, kids, I have an idea. How about we go to that place over there? It says kids eat free. You can have pizza or pasta or whatever you want. And I can have a salad and a sandwich. How does that sound?" + +Lily and Ben looked at the sign. They did not know what it meant. But they saw pictures of pizza and pasta and other yummy things. They nodded. + +"Okay, Mom, let's go there!" they said. + +Mom took their hands and walked to the other place. It was a smaller place with fewer tables and chairs. But it looked nice and cozy. Mom asked for a table. A man gave them a menu. + +"Welcome to our restaurant. We have a special offer today. Kids eat free. You can choose anything from this menu. And for the adults, we have a cheap deal. A salad and a sandwich for only five dollars. What would you like to order?" the man said. + +Lily and Ben looked at the menu. They saw many things they liked. They pointed at them. + +"I want pizza with cheese and pepperoni!" Ben said. + +"I want pasta with tomato and cheese!" Lily said. + +Mom smiled. She was glad they found a good place. She ordered a salad and a sandwich. + +"Thank you for choosing our restaurant. Your food will be ready soon. Enjoy your meal!" the man said. + +He took the menu and left. Lily and Ben looked at Mom. + +"Mom, what does kids eat free mean?" Lily asked. + +"It means you don't have to pay for your food. The restaurant gives it to you for free. Isn't that nice?" Mom said. + +Lily and Ben nodded. They thought it was very nice. They were happy. They hugged Mom. + +"Thank you, Mom, for taking us to this restaurant. We love you!" they said. + +Mom hugged them back. She loved them too. She was happy. + +"You're welcome, kids. I love you too. Now let's eat our food and have a good time!" she said. + +They waited for their food. They talked and laughed. They had a good time. They ate their food. It was yummy. They were full and satisfied. They thanked the man for their food. He smiled and wished them a good day. They left the restaurant. They got in the car and drove home. They had a fun day. They were a happy family. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run and slide and swing. But today the sky was gloomy and the wind was cold. They saw a big pond with some ducks and geese. Lily and Ben wanted to feed them some bread. + +They walked to the pond and broke the bread into pieces. They threw some to the ducks and some to the geese. The ducks quacked and the geese honked. They came closer to Lily and Ben. Lily and Ben were happy. + +But one goose was greedy. He wanted all the bread for himself. He chased away the other geese and the ducks. He came very close to Lily and Ben. He opened his big beak and hissed. Lily and Ben were scared. + +They ran away from the goose. They looked for a place to hide. They saw a big tree with a hole. They ran to the tree and crawled into the hole. They hoped the goose would not find them. + +They waited in the hole. They heard the goose honking and looking for them. They held each other and whispered. + +"Don't worry, Lily. The goose will go away soon." Ben whispered. + +"I hope so, Ben. He is very mean." Lily whispered. + +They hugged each other and waited for the goose to leave. They wished the sun would come out and make the day bright again. +Ben and Lily were friends who liked to play in the park. They liked to swing, slide and run on the grass. But they did not like to behave. They often did things that made the other kids and the grown-ups angry. + +One day, they saw a big gate that led to a field with cows and sheep. They wanted to go inside and see the animals. They did not listen to the sign that said "Keep Out". They opened the gate and ran into the field. + +"Look, Lily, there are so many cows and sheep!" Ben said. "Let's go and touch them!" + +"No, Ben, that is not a good idea!" Lily said. "They might be scared or angry. And the farmer might see us. Let's go back to the park." + +But Ben did not listen to Lily. He ran towards a big cow and tried to pull its tail. The cow did not like that. It mooed loudly and kicked Ben with its hoof. Ben fell down and cried. + +The farmer heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. He saw Ben and Lily in his field. He was very angry. He shouted at them and told them to get out. He closed the gate and locked it. + +Ben and Lily ran back to the park. They were hurt and scared. They said sorry to the farmer and to each other. They learned their lesson. They decided to behave and play nicely from then on. They wanted to be popular and have more friends. +Lila and Ben were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They gave him a carrot nose and two rocks for eyes. They were very happy. + +"Look at our snowman!" Lila said. "He is so nice and friendly." + +"Yes, he is!" Ben said. "Let's give him a hug." + +They ran to the snowman and hugged him. But then they heard a mean voice. + +"Hey, you two! Get away from my snowman!" It was Max, the bully. He was holding a bottle of poison. "I made this snowman, not you. And I don't want anyone to touch him. He is mine!" + +Lila and Ben were scared. They let go of the snowman and backed away. + +"Please, Max, don't be mean," Lila said. "We just wanted to play with the snowman. We didn't know he was yours." + +"Too bad," Max said. "Now you have to pay. I'm going to spray this poison on you and make you freeze. Then you will be like the snowman, cold and stiff." + +Max opened the bottle and aimed it at Lila and Ben. They screamed and ran away. But Max was faster. He caught up with them and sprayed the poison on their backs. + +Lila and Ben felt a chill in their bodies. They started to shiver and slow down. They felt like they were turning into ice. + +"Help! Help!" they cried. "Someone, please help us!" + +But no one heard them. They fell to the ground, frozen and miserable. Max laughed and walked away with his snowman. He was very mean. +Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play with their toy guns. They shoot at each other and make loud noises. But Tom is selfish. He always wants to have the best gun and the most bullets. He does not share with Sam. + +One day, they are playing in their room. Tom has a big gun and Sam has a small gun. Tom shoots at Sam and hits him in the mouth. Sam feels a sharp pain and cries. He puts his hand on his mouth and sees blood. He has lost a tooth! + +"Ow, ow, ow! You shot my tooth, Tom! You are mean!" Sam says. + +"I don't care. It's just a tooth. You have many teeth. Stop crying, baby!" Tom says. + +Sam is very sad and angry. He runs to their mom and shows her his tooth. Mom is shocked and angry too. She scolds Tom and takes away his gun. She hugs Sam and tells him he is brave. She says he will get a new tooth soon. She also says he will get a coin from the tooth fairy. + +Tom feels sorry and ashamed. He sees that he was selfish and hurt his brother. He goes to Sam and says he is sorry. He gives him his small gun and says he can have it. He also gives him a sticker and a candy. He says he loves him. + +Sam smiles and says he is sorry too. He says he loves him too. He gives him a hug and a kiss. He says they can share the guns and play together. They are happy again. They go to their mom and show her they are friends. Mom is happy too. She says they are good brothers. She gives them both a cookie and a glass of milk. They say thank you and enjoy their snack. They are a happy family. +Tom and Lily were twins. They liked to play with their toys and books. But sometimes they fought over them. One day, Tom wanted to read the book about dinosaurs. But Lily had it first. She said, "No, Tom, this is my book. You can read the book about cars." + +Tom was angry. He tried to grab the book from Lily. They pulled and pushed. The book ripped. Lily cried. Tom felt bad. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I didn't mean to rip your book. Can you forgive me?" + +Lily sniffed. She looked at the book. It was her favorite book. She said, "I'm sorry, too, Tom. I should have shared with you. Yes, I forgive you. Can we still be friends?" + +Tom nodded. He hugged Lily. They said, "We love each other." + +Mom heard the noise. She came to see what happened. She saw the ripped book and the twins. She said, "What happened here?" + +Tom and Lily told Mom the truth. They said, "We fought over the book. But we said sorry and we forgave each other. We are friends again." + +Mom smiled. She said, "I'm proud of you, Tom and Lily. You did the right thing. Fighting is bad, but forgiving is good. How about we fix the book together? And then we can have some cocoa and cookies. Does that sound good?" + +Tom and Lily cheered. They said, "Yes, Mom, that sounds great. Thank you, Mom. You are the best." + +They helped Mom fix the book with tape and glue. Then they sat on the couch and enjoyed the cocoa and cookies. They read the book together and learned about dinosaurs. They had fun. They forgot about the boring cars. +Timmy liked to play with his toy cars. He had many cars of different colors and sizes. He liked to make them zoom and crash on the floor. He also liked to hide them under his bed or in his closet. + +One day, Timmy wanted to play with his red car. It was his favorite car. It was shiny and fast and had a loud horn. But he could not find it. He looked under his bed and in his closet. He looked in his toy box and on his shelf. He looked everywhere, but he could not see his red car. + +He felt sad and angry. He wanted his red car. He thought maybe his sister took it. His sister was older and liked to tease him. She had long hair and chubby cheeks. She sometimes took his toys and hid them in her room. + +He decided to go to her room and look for his red car. He walked down the hall and stopped at her door. He reached for the knob. The knob was round and shiny. He turned the knob and opened the door. + +But he did not see his sister or his red car. He saw something else. He saw a big cake on her bed. It was a chocolate cake with white frosting and sprinkles. It looked yummy and sweet. He remembered that it was his sister's birthday. He forgot to say happy birthday to her. + +He felt sorry and ashamed. He did not want to take his sister's cake. He wanted to give her a hug and a kiss. He wanted to say sorry and happy birthday. He wanted to share his toy cars with her. He hoped she would share her cake with him. + +He closed the door and ran back to his room. He found his red car on his pillow. He did not know how it got there. Maybe his sister put it there. Maybe she was not so bad after all. He smiled and picked up his red car. He ran to her room again and knocked on the door. He heard her voice say, "Come in." He opened the door and saw her smile. He said, "Happy birthday, sis. I love you." He gave her his red car and she gave him a slice of cake. They hugged and kissed and played together. They were happy. +Lila and Tom are playing in the park. They see a big, old house with many windows. It looks ancient. + +"Who lives there?" Lila asks. + +"I don't know. Maybe a witch or a wizard," Tom says. + +They are curious. They want to see inside. They walk to the door. It is wide and wooden. They knock, but no one answers. + +"Let's go in," Tom says. + +"No, we can't. That's rude. And maybe dangerous," Lila says. + +But Tom does not listen. He pushes the door. It opens with a creak. He steps inside. Lila follows him. + +The house is dark and dusty. There are many things on the shelves and tables. Books, candles, jars, statues. They look strange and old. + +"Wow, look at this!" Tom says. He picks up a shiny ball. It glows in his hand. + +"Put that down, Tom. You don't know what it is," Lila says. + +But Tom does not listen. He shakes the ball. It makes a loud noise. Suddenly, a voice booms from the ball. + +"Who dares to disturb my work?" the voice says. + +Lila and Tom are scared. They drop the ball and run to the door. But the door is locked. They are trapped. + +"Help! Help!" they scream. + +The voice laughs. "You should have listened to your friend, Tom. Now you will pay for your foolishness. You will stay here forever and be my servants. Ha ha ha!" + +Lila and Tom cry. They wish they had never entered the ancient house. They wish they had listened to Lila. They wish they could go back to the park. +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and laugh. They saw a big gate with a lock. They wanted to see what was behind the gate. + +"Let's go and look," said Ben. + +"No, we have to stay here," said Lily. "Mum said the gate is not for us." + +"But I want to see," said Ben. He ran to the gate and tried to open it. The lock was too hard for him. He pulled and pushed, but the gate did not move. + +Lily followed him. She saw something behind the gate. It was a horse. A big, brown horse with a long mane and a shiny coat. The horse looked at them with kind eyes. It was very graceful. + +"Wow, look at the horse," said Lily. "It is so pretty." + +"Can we pet it?" asked Ben. + +"I don't know," said Lily. "Maybe it is not friendly." + +The horse came closer to the gate. It nuzzled Ben's hand with its nose. It made a soft sound. It seemed to like them. + +"Hello, horse," said Ben. "You are nice." + +"Hello, horse," said Lily. "You are beautiful." + +They stroked the horse's head and neck. They felt its warm breath and soft fur. They forgot about the lock and the gate. They only saw the horse. + +Mum came to the garden. She saw them playing with the horse. She smiled. + +"Look, Mum, we made a friend," said Ben. + +"Yes, you did," said Mum. "But you know you are not supposed to go near the gate. It is not safe." + +"We are sorry, Mum," said Lily. "We just wanted to see." + +"I understand," said Mum. "But you have to stay in the garden. The gate is locked for a reason. The horse belongs to the farmer next door. He might not like you to touch his horse." + +"Can we say goodbye to the horse?" asked Ben. + +"Of course," said Mum. "But then we have to go back to the house." + +They said goodbye to the horse. They thanked it for being kind and graceful. They waved to it as they walked away. The horse waved back with its tail. It made a loud sound. It seemed to say goodbye too. + +They went back to the house. They told Mum about the horse. They said they hoped to see it again. Mum said maybe they could, if they asked the farmer nicely. They said they would. They were happy. They had made a friend. +Tim and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big whistle on a bench. It is shiny and red. Tim wants to blow the whistle. Sam says no. + +"Don't blow the whistle, Tim. It is not yours. Someone will be sad if they lose it." Sam tells Tim. + +But Tim does not listen. He takes the whistle and puts it in his mouth. He blows hard. The whistle makes a loud noise. It hurts Tim's ears. Sam covers his ears. + +"Stop, Tim, stop! You are making too much noise. Someone will hear us." Sam tells Tim. + +But Tim does not stop. He likes the noise. He blows harder. The whistle makes a louder noise. It hurts Sam's ears more. Sam cries. + +"Please, Tim, please! You are hurting me. Give me the whistle. I will put it back." Sam tells Tim. + +But Tim does not give. He laughs. He blows harder. The whistle makes a louder noise. It hurts Tim's ears more. Tim cries. + +"Help, help! It hurts, it hurts! Make it stop, make it stop!" Tim tells Sam. + +But Sam cannot help. He is too scared. He runs away. He leaves Tim alone with the whistle. + +The whistle makes a louder noise. It hurts Tim's ears more. Tim screams. + +"Help, help! Where are you, Sam? Come back, come back!" Tim tells Sam. + +But Sam does not come back. He is gone. Tim is alone. + +The whistle makes a louder noise. It hurts Tim's ears more. Tim faints. + +The park is dark. The whistle is quiet. Tim is still. No one comes. The end. +Sara and Ben went to the toy store with Mom. They saw many toys that they liked. They wanted to buy them all, but Mom said they could only choose one each. Sara and Ben felt restless. They did not know which toy to pick. + +Sara saw a big doll with long hair and a pink dress. She lifted it from the shelf and hugged it. She said, "Mom, can I have this one? It is so pretty and soft." + +Ben saw a shiny car with four wheels and a horn. He lifted it from the shelf and made it zoom on the floor. He said, "Mom, can I have this one? It is so fast and loud." + +Mom looked at the tags on the toys. She saw the price. She said, "Sara and Ben, these toys are too expensive. We cannot afford them. Let's look for something cheaper." + +Sara and Ben felt sad. They put the toys back on the shelf. They followed Mom to another aisle. They saw some books and puzzles and crayons. They looked at them, but they did not feel excited. + +Mom said, "Sara and Ben, these are good toys too. They are fun and educational. And they are cheaper. Why don't you choose one of these?" + +Sara and Ben thought for a while. They decided to give them a try. Sara picked a book with colorful pictures and words. Ben picked a puzzle with animals and shapes. They lifted them from the shelf and showed them to Mom. + +Mom smiled and said, "Good choice, Sara and Ben. These are nice toys. And they fit our budget.

He saw many things in the water, like fish and crabs and seaweed. But he did not see any jellyfish. His mom told him that jellyfish were animals that could sting and hurt people. She said he should not touch them if he saw them. + +Ben was curious about jellyfish. He wanted to see what they looked like. He asked his mom if they could come closer to the water and look for them. His mom said yes, but they had to be careful and stay away from the waves. She gave him a bucket and a net to catch some water and things in it. + +Ben and his mom walked along the shore and dipped the net in the water. Ben looked at the bucket and saw some sand and shells and seaweed. He did not see any jellyfish. He was a little disappointed. He asked his mom if they could come a little closer to the water and try again. His mom said yes, but they had to be very careful and watch out for the waves. + +Ben and his mom came a little closer to the water and dipped the net in the water. Ben looked at the bucket and saw something unusual. It was clear and round and had long thin things hanging from it. It looked like a balloon with strings. Ben thought it was a jellyfish. He was very excited. He showed it to his mom and asked her if it was a jellyfish. His mom looked at the bucket and gasped. She said it was not a jellyfish, it was a balloon. She said someone must have left it on the beach and it got into the water. She said it was not good for the animals or the water. She said they had to throw it away. + +Ben was surprised. He did not know that balloons could look like jellyfish. He wondered if the animals could tell the difference. He wondered if the balloon could sting and hurt people. He decided he did not want to touch it. He gave the bucket to his mom and they walked back to the sand. His mom threw the balloon in the trash and they washed their hands. Ben said he was sorry they did not find any jellyfish. His mom said it was okay, they could try again another day. She said she was proud of him for being careful and curious. She said she loved him very much. Ben said he loved her too. They hugged and smiled. They had a good day at the beach. +Anna loved her pony, Spot. She liked to brush his hair, feed him carrots, and ride him around the farm. She wanted to show him to her friend, Ben, who was coming to visit. + +She put a saddle on Spot and waited for Ben to arrive. When she saw his car, she waved and called, "Hi, Ben! Come and see my pony!" + +Ben ran over and smiled. He liked ponies, too. He asked, "Can I ride him, Anna?" + +Anna nodded and helped Ben get on the saddle. She said, "Hold on tight, Ben. Spot is very fast." + +They rode around the farm, having fun. Spot was happy, too. He liked to run and jump. + +But then, they saw a big dog. The dog barked and ran after them. Spot was scared. He neighed and ran faster. Ben was scared, too. He said, "Anna, help! The dog is chasing us!" + +Anna tried to calm Spot down. She said, "Don't worry, Spot. The dog is not bad. He just wants to play." + +But Spot did not listen. He ran to the fence and tried to jump over it. He was too fast and too high. He hit the fence and fell down. Ben and Anna fell down, too. They dropped to the ground. + +They were not hurt, but they were dirty and sad. Spot was dirty and sad, too. He had a cut on his leg. The dog came over and licked his face. He was not mean. He was sorry. + +Anna hugged Spot and Ben. She said, "It's okay, Spot. It's okay, Ben. We are all friends. The dog is sorry. He did not mean to scare you." + +Ben hugged Anna and Spot. He said, "I'm sorry, too, Anna. I did not mean to make Spot run so fast. He is a good pony. He is very useful. He can run and jump and carry us." + +Anna smiled and said, "That's right, Ben. Spot is very useful. And he is very brave. He tried to jump over the fence. He is the best pony ever." + +They cleaned Spot's cut and gave him some water.

She knew getting one wouldn't be easy. Every day she would request a puppy from her parents, but they would always promise her the same thing. That if she waited a long time she could have a puppy. Every morning she would wake up and ask for her puppy, but it never materialised. + +So one day she decided to take things into her own hands. She wrote a letter to her parents, explaining that if she had to wait a long time, could she have a puppy?

The noise is too loud,†said the voice. + +The lion was surprised. He looked around him, but he didn’t see anyone. + +“Who said that?†asked the lion. + +“I did,†said the voice again. “I am an intelligent robot, and I live inside this metal box.†+ +The lion was amazed. He asked the robot why it lived inside the box, and the robot explained that it had been built to protect and look after something.

The rabbit said he could, so the fox said thank you. + +The friends thought it would be a good idea to separate the frame into two pieces, so each of them could have one. But as they separated it, they realized the frame had broken into many pieces, and they each only had a few! They soon realized they both only had very small pieces of the frame, none as pretty as the frame before. + +The two friends sadly realized that by separating the frame, they had ruined it.
