I'm sorry I did not listen to you. You are a good friend. I'm glad you are here." + +Sam says, "It's okay, Tom. I forgive you. We all make mistakes. But we can learn from them.

"Let's try to hit it with our arrows!" + +"No, Tom, that's not nice!" Lily said. "The bird is alive and it will hurt if you cut it with your arrow.

He ran to the kitchen and looked for something to use. He saw a big cup of coffee on the counter. It was hot and brown and smelled good. He thought it might help to make the table slippery. + +He grabbed the cup of coffee and ran back to the living room. He said, "Look, Lily, I have coffee! Maybe it can make your car come out!" He poured some coffee on the table and the car. The coffee dripped down and made a mess. + +Lily gasped and said, "Ben, what are you doing? That's Mommy's coffee! She will be mad at us!"

Don't you know that blocks are for sharing and playing together?" + +Lily and Ben looked at each other, and felt ashamed. They knew they were wrong. They said sorry to each other, and to Miss Rose. + +"Can we play together again?" Lily asked Ben. + +"Of course, we can. Let's include each other in our games. We can make better things with more blocks." Ben said. + +They hugged and smiled, and started to clean up the mess. They learned that it is better to include others than to exclude them, and that sharing is caring. Miss Rose was proud of them, and gave them a sticker each. They had fun playing with the blocks, and with each other. +Lila and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big hole in the ground. It was a pit.

She reached out and touched the ostrich's neck. It was soft and warm. + +The ostrich liked Anna. It rubbed its head against her. Anna hugged the ostrich and said thank you. She was happy. She had made a new friend. She gave the hat back to the man and said goodbye to the ostrich. She told her mom and dad what happened. They were proud of her. They said she was very brave and kind. Anna smiled. She loved the zoo. +Ben and Lily went to the zoo with their mom. They saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and giraffes. They liked the animals, but they wanted to see something more fun. + +"Can we go to the bird show, mom?" Lily asked. "I want to see the parrot." + +"Okay, let's go," mom said. "The bird show is about to start." + +They walked to the big tent where the bird show was. They found some seats and waited for the show to begin. A man came out with a microphone and a cage. He opened the cage and took out a big, colorful parrot. + +"Hello, everyone! Welcome to the bird show!" the man said. "This is Polly, the smartest parrot in the world. She can talk, sing, and perform tricks. Do you want to see what she can do?" + +"Yes!" Ben and Lily shouted. + +"Okay, then. Polly, say hello to the kids," the man said. + +But Polly did not say hello. She looked grumpy and bored. She flapped her wings and squawked. + +"Come on, Polly, don't be shy. Say hello," the man said again. + +But Polly did not say hello. She turned her back to the man and the kids. She nibbled on a cracker. + +"Sorry, folks. Polly is not in the mood today. Maybe she needs some encouragement. Can you all clap your hands and cheer for her?" the man said. + +Ben, Lily, and the other kids clapped their hands and cheered for Polly. They hoped she would perform. + +But Polly did not perform. She threw the cracker at the man and flew away. She landed on a tree outside the tent. She laughed and said, "Bye-bye, suckers!" + +The kids were shocked and disappointed. The man was embarrassed and angry. He ran after Polly and tried to catch her. + +"Come back here, you naughty parrot!" he yelled. + +Ben and Lily looked at each other and giggled. They thought Polly was funny and clever. They decided they liked the parrot more than the show. +Sara and Tom are friends. They like to jog in the park. They jog fast and slow. They jog up and down. They jog with their dog, Max. + +One day, they see a lake in the park. The lake is big and blue. It has fish and ducks. Sara and Tom want to jog to the lake. They say to Max, "Come on, Max. Let's jog to the lake. It looks amazing." + +But Max does not want to jog to the lake. He is tired and thirsty. He says, "Woof, woof. No, no. I need water. I need rest. Please, please." + +Sara and Tom do not listen to Max. They think he is lazy and silly. They say, "Bye, bye, Max. We will jog to the lake. You can stay here. You are no fun." + +They jog to the lake. They leave Max behind. Max is sad and lonely. He sits under a tree. He waits for Sara and Tom. + +Sara and Tom reach the lake. They are happy and excited. They see the fish and the ducks. They say, "Wow, wow. The lake is amazing. We are glad we jogged here. This is the best day ever." + +But then, they hear a loud noise. It is a bear. The bear is big and brown. It is hungry and angry. It sees Sara and Tom. It says, "Roar, roar. I smell food. I see lunch. You are mine, mine." + +Sara and Tom are scared and sorry. They wish they had Max with them. They say, "Help, help. Where is Max? We need Max. He is brave and strong. He can save us." + +But Max is far away. He does not hear them. He does not see them. He is still under the tree. He is still sad and lonely. + +The bear comes closer. Sara and Tom run away. They try to jog back to the park. But the bear is faster. It catches them. It says, "Roar, roar. You are mine, mine." + +But then, Max hears them. He hears Sara and Tom scream. He hears the bear roar. He says, "Woof, woof. That is my friends. That is a bad bear. I must help them. I must jog to them." + +He gets up. He runs. He jogs to the lake. He sees Sara and Tom. He sees the bear. He says, "Woof, woof. Leave them alone. They are my friends. You are a bad bear. Go away, go away." + +He barks. He bites. He fights. He scares the bear. The bear says, "Roar, roar. You are a mean dog. You are a brave dog. I am sorry, sorry." + +He lets go of Sara and Tom. He runs away. He jogs to the woods. He says, "Roar, roar. I will not come back. I will not bother you. You are safe, safe." + +Sara and Tom are free. They are hurt and scared. But they are also happy and thankful. They hug Max. They say, "Thank you, thank you, Max. You are amazing. You are our hero. You saved us. We are sorry, sorry." + +They give him water. They give him rest. They say, "We are sorry we left you. We are sorry we did not listen to you. We are sorry we were not nice to you. You are our friend. You are our fun. We love you, love you." + +Max is happy and proud. He says, "Woof, woof. I love you too. You are my friends. You are my fun. We are a team. We are a family." + +They jog back to the park. They jog fast and slow. They jog up and down. They jog with their dog, Max. + +The moral of the story is: Listen to your friends. Be kind to your friends. Stay with your friends. They will help you when you need them. They will love you no matter what. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play together. Today, they want to make a surprise for Lily's mom. They prepare a cake in the kitchen. They mix flour, eggs, milk, and sugar in a big bowl. They pour the batter in a pan. They put the pan in the oven. + +"Shh, we have to be quiet," Lily says. "Mom is in the living room. She does not know we are making a cake." + +"OK, I will be quiet," Tom says. "But how will we know when the cake is ready?" + +"We will smell it," Lily says. "When it smells sweet and yummy, it is ready." + +They wait for a while. They smell something good. They open the oven. The cake is golden and fluffy. They take it out carefully. They put it on a plate. They decorate it with soft whipped cream and colorful sprinkles. + +"Wow, it looks so good," Tom says. "Can we eat some?" + +"Not yet," Lily says. "We have to wait for mom. It is her surprise. Come on, let's hide behind the door." + +They carry the plate to the door. They hide behind it. They hear mom coming. They whisper to each other. + +"Surprise!" they shout as mom opens the door. They show her the cake. Mom smiles and hugs them. + +"Oh, thank you, my sweeties," mom says. "You made me a cake. How thoughtful of you. It looks delicious. Did you do it all by yourselves?" + +"Yes, we did," Lily and Tom say proudly. "We prepared it for you. We love you, mom." + +"I love you too, my darlings," mom says. "You are the best. Come on, let's eat some cake together." +Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. They lived in a big house near a green valley. The valley had many flowers, trees and animals. Anna and Ben loved to explore the valley and look for new things. + +One day, they found a small cave in the hill. They decided to go inside and see what was there. They took a flashlight and a rope and walked into the dark cave. They saw many rocks and bats and spiders. They were not afraid, they were curious. + +"Look, Ben, there is a shiny thing over there!" Anna said, pointing to a corner of the cave. "Maybe it is a treasure!" + +"Let's go and see!" Ben said, excited. He ran towards the shiny thing, but he did not see a big hole in the ground. He was clumsy and he tripped and fell into the hole. He screamed and hurt his leg. + +"Ben, are you okay?" Anna shouted, worried. She ran to the hole and shone the flashlight. She saw Ben lying on the floor, holding his leg. He looked pale and scared. + +"I'm sorry, Anna, I was stupid. I can't get out, it's too deep. And my leg hurts a lot. I think it's broken." Ben said, crying. + +"Don't worry, Ben, I'll help you. I'll throw you the rope and you can climb up. Then we'll go home and mom will heal your leg. She is a doctor, remember?" Anna said, trying to be brave. She threw the rope to Ben and told him to hold it tight. She pulled the rope with all her strength and lifted Ben out of the hole. She hugged him and kissed his cheek. + +"Thank you, Anna, you are the best sister ever. I'm sorry I was clumsy and ruined our adventure." Ben said, smiling. + +"It's okay, Ben, I'm just glad you are safe. And maybe the shiny thing was not a treasure anyway. Maybe it was just a rock or a can. Come on, let's go home and tell mom what happened. She'll be proud of us for being brave and helping each other." Anna said, holding Ben's hand. + +They walked out of the cave and back to the valley. They saw the sun setting and the sky turning pink and purple. They felt happy and lucky to have each other. They learned a lesson that day: to be careful and to stick together. They also learned that the real treasure was not in the cave, but in their hearts. +Lila and Tom are friends. They like to play in the garden. They have a hut made of wood and leaves. They pretend it is their home. + +One day, they find a spray bottle in the hut. It is full of water. They think it is fun to spray water on the plants and on each other. They laugh and run around. + +But they do not see that Mama is busy in the kitchen. She is making a cake for Papa's birthday. She needs the spray bottle to make the cake shiny. She looks for the spray bottle, but she cannot find it. + +She goes out to the garden and sees Lila and Tom. They are wet and happy. They are spraying water everywhere. She is angry. She says, "Give me the spray bottle! You are making a mess! You are not helping me!" + +Lila and Tom are sorry. They did not know that Mama needed the spray bottle. They give it to her and say, "We are sorry, Mama. We did not mean to be bad. We just wanted to play." + +Mama is not angry anymore. She says, "It is okay, my loves. I know you were having fun. But next time, ask me before you take something. And help me clean up the mess." + +Lila and Tom nod. They help Mama clean up the water and the leaves. They hug her and say, "We love you, Mama. And we love Papa. Can we help you make the cake?" + +Mama smiles. She says, "Of course, you can. Come on, let's go to the kitchen. The cake will be yummy. And Papa will be happy." +Sara and Ben like to play in the park. They like to run, swing, slide and climb. One day, they see a lot of mist in the air. The mist is like soft clouds that make everything look fuzzy. + +Sara and Ben are curious. They want to see what is in the mist. They hold hands and walk into the mist. They see different shapes and colors in the mist. They see a big red ball, a yellow duck, a green frog and a blue star. They think the mist is magic. + +They play with the shapes and colors in the mist. They include the ball, the duck, the frog and the star in their games. They throw the ball, quack with the duck, hop with the frog and twinkle with the star. They have a lot of fun in the mist. + +After a while, the mist starts to go away. The sun comes out and makes the mist disappear. Sara and Ben see the park again. They see the swings, the slide, the climb and their mom. Their mom is waiting for them with a smile. + +Sara and Ben run to their mom. They tell her about the mist and the shapes and colors. Their mom listens and hugs them. She says she is glad they had fun in the mist. She says they can play in the park again tomorrow. Sara and Ben are happy. They love their mom and they love the park. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big bird on a wire. The bird had many colors on its feathers. It was very attractive. + +"Wow, look at that bird!" Lily said. "It is so pretty. I want to touch it." + +Ben shook his head. "No, Lily. You can't touch the bird. The wire is not safe. It can hurt you. And the bird can fly away." + +Lily did not listen. She wanted to touch the bird. She climbed on a bench and reached for the wire. But the wire was too high. She could not reach it. + +"Please, Lily, come down. You will fall." Ben said. He was scared for Lily. + +Lily did not come down. She jumped from the bench and tried to grab the wire. But she missed the wire and fell on the ground. She hurt her knee and cried. + +The bird flew away. It did not like the noise. + +Ben ran to Lily and hugged her. He helped her stand up. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I know you liked the bird. But you have to believe me. The wire is not safe. And the bird is not a toy. It is a wild animal. It does not want to be touched." + +Lily nodded. She was sorry too. She said, "I'm sorry, Ben. You were right. I should have listened to you. The wire is not safe. And the bird is not a toy. It is a wild animal. It is better to look at it from far away." + +Ben smiled. He said, "It's okay, Lily. I forgive you. You are my friend. Come on, let's go to the swings. They are safe and fun." + +Lily smiled too. She said, "Okay, Ben. Let's go to the swings. They are safe and fun. And maybe we will see another attractive bird on the way." +Anna and Ben are playing in the kitchen. They want to help Mom make dinner. Mom gives them a big bowl and some spoons. She says, "You can stir the salad for me. Be careful and don't spill." + +Anna and Ben are happy. They take turns to stir the salad. They see lettuce, tomatoes, carrots, cheese and dressing. They think the salad looks yummy. They talk to each other as they stir. + +"Look, I found a big cheese cube!" Ben says. + +"I like cheese. Can I have one?" Anna asks. + +"Sure, here you go." Ben gives her a cheese cube. + +"Thank you. Do you like tomatoes?" Anna says. + +"Yes, I do. They are red and juicy." Ben says. + +"Me too. Let's share this one." Anna breaks a tomato in half and gives one to Ben. + +They eat the tomato and smile. They stir the salad some more. They see something brown and wrinkly in the bowl. They don't know what it is. They pick it up and show it to Mom. + +"Mom, what is this?" Anna says. + +Mom looks at it and laughs. She says, "That is an old prune. It is a dried fruit. I put it in the salad for some sweetness. Do you want to try it?" + +Anna and Ben make a face. They don't think the old prune looks good. They shake their heads and say, "No, thank you." + +Mom says, "That's okay. You don't have to eat it. You did a great job stirring the salad. Thank you for helping me. Now, let's wash our hands and get ready for dinner." + +Anna and Ben put the old prune back in the bowl. They wash their hands and follow Mom to the table. They are proud of their salad and hungry for dinner. They hope there will be more cheese and tomatoes. +Tim and Lily were playing in the yard. They liked to run and jump and laugh. They saw a chicken near the fence. The chicken was brown and fluffy. It had a red thing on its head. + +"Look, a chicken!" Tim said. "Let's catch it!" + +They ran after the chicken. The chicken was scared. It clucked and flapped its wings. It ran away from Tim and Lily. + +"Stop, chicken, stop!" Lily shouted. "We want to play with you!" + +But the chicken did not stop. It ran to the other side of the fence. There was a tall man there. He was wearing a hat and boots. He was holding a bucket. + +"Who are you?" Tim asked. "What are you doing with the chicken?" + +The tall man smiled. He put the bucket down. He picked up the chicken and stroked its feathers. + +"I'm Farmer Joe," he said. "This is my chicken. Her name is Penny. She likes to lay eggs for me. She doesn't like to play with children. She is shy." + +"Oh," Tim and Lily said. They felt sorry for the chicken. They did not want to scare her. + +"Can we see your eggs?" Lily asked. + +"Sure," Farmer Joe said. "Come with me. I'll show you my barn. I have many chickens and eggs there. You can look, but don't touch. The chickens might peck you." + +Tim and Lily nodded. They followed Farmer Joe to his barn. They saw many chickens and eggs. They were amazed. They thanked Farmer Joe for showing them. + +They learned something new that day. They learned that chickens are not toys. They learned to be gentle and respectful to animals. They learned that Farmer Joe was a nice and tall man. +Ben and Lily were playing in the yard with their toys. They liked to make cars and dolls and pretend they were going on adventures. They did not see the dark clouds in the sky or hear the wind getting louder. + +"Look, Lily, I made a castle!" Ben said, showing his sister his pile of blocks. + +"That's nice, Ben, but I like my tea party better," Lily said, pouring water from a cup to a plate. "Do you want some tea?" + +Before Ben could answer, they heard a loud noise that made them jump. It sounded like a train, but there was no train near their house. They looked up and saw a big, scary thing that looked like a giant snake made of dust and wind. It was a tornado, and it was coming towards them. + +"Mommy! Daddy!" Ben and Lily screamed, dropping their toys and running to the house. They were very anxious and scared. They wanted their parents to hug them and make them safe. + +But their parents were not in the house. They had gone to the store to buy some milk and bread. They did not know about the tornado. They did not hear their children's cries. + +The tornado reached the yard and picked up everything in its path. It tore apart the toys, the blocks, the cups, and the plates. It lifted Ben and Lily into the air and threw them far away. They did not enjoy the ride. They did not survive. + +The end. +Anna and Ben were playing in the woods. They liked to look for bugs and flowers and sticks. They saw a big tree with a hole in it. They wanted to see what was inside. + +They went to the tree and peeked in the hole. They saw a shiny thing. It was an axe. It was stuck in the wood. They wondered who left it there. + +They tried to pull the axe out, but it was too heavy. They took turns to pull, but it did not move. They decided to push it instead. Maybe they could make it fall out. + +Anna pushed the axe with her hands. Ben pushed the axe with his feet. They pushed hard, but it did not budge. They pushed harder, but it still did not budge. They pushed with all their might, but it still did not budge. + +They were tired and sad. They wanted the axe. It was pretty and shiny. They thought they could use it to chop sticks and make a fort. They gave up and sat on the ground. + +Then they heard a voice. It was loud and angry. It said, "Who is messing with my axe?" They looked up and saw a big man. He had a beard and a hat. He looked mean. He was the owner of the axe. + +They were scared and ran away. They left the axe in the tree. They did not want it anymore. They learned not to touch things that did not belong to them. They went home and hugged their mom. +Tom and Lily were playing with their toy boats in the tub. They liked to pretend they were sailors and explorers, sailing to faraway lands. They had a big boat and a small boat, and they took turns to be the captain. + +"Look, Lily, I found a harbor!" Tom said, pointing to a corner of the tub where the soap dish was. "Let's dock our boats there and rest for a while." + +"OK, Tom, but I want to be the captain of the big boat this time," Lily said, grabbing the big boat from Tom's hand. "You can have the small boat." + +Tom was not happy. He liked the big boat better. It was more mighty and had more sails. He tried to take it back from Lily, but she held on tight. + +"Hey, give it back! It's my turn!" Tom shouted. + +"No, it's mine! I saw it first!" Lily shouted back. + +They pulled and tugged at the big boat, making a lot of splashes and noise. They did not notice that the big boat was too big for the soap dish harbor. It got stuck and could not fit. + +"Uh-oh, we broke the boat!" Tom said, looking at the bent sails and the cracked hull. + +"And we made a mess!" Lily said, seeing the water and soap all over the floor. + +They felt sorry and ashamed. They knew they had been naughty and selfish. They put down the boats and hugged each other. + +"I'm sorry, Tom. I should have shared the big boat with you," Lily said. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. I should have let you be the captain for a while," Tom said. + +They decided to play nicely and take turns with the boats. They also cleaned up the mess and apologized to their mom. They learned that fitting and sharing are better than fighting and breaking. +Mia and Leo were playing with blocks. They liked to make towers and bridges and houses. Mia had a lot of blue blocks and Leo had a lot of red blocks. They shared some yellow and green blocks. + +Mia wanted to make a special tower. She used blue and yellow blocks to make a pattern. She put one blue block, then one yellow block, then one blue block, and so on. She made her tower very tall and proud. + +Leo saw Mia's tower and he felt jealous. He wanted to make a better tower. He used red and green blocks to make a pattern. He put one red block, then one green block, then one red block, and so on. He made his tower very tall and strong. + +Mia and Leo looked at each other's towers and they smiled. They thought they had the best towers in the world. They decided to show their towers to their teacher. + +They picked up their towers carefully and walked to their teacher. But on the way, they bumped into each other and their towers fell down. The blocks scattered on the floor and mixed together. + +Mia and Leo felt sad and angry. They blamed each other for ruining their towers. They started to cry and shout. + +Their teacher heard them and came to see what was wrong. She saw the blocks on the floor and she saw their faces. She said, "Oh, Mia and Leo, what happened? Why are you crying and shouting?" + +Mia and Leo told their teacher what happened. They said they wanted to show their towers to their teacher, but they bumped into each other and their towers broke. They said they were jealous of each other's towers and they wanted to have the best tower. + +Their teacher said, "I'm sorry your towers broke, Mia and Leo. But you know what? You don't have to be jealous of each other's towers. You can be happy for each other's towers. You can also make new towers together. Look, you have more blocks now. You can use different colors and make different patterns. You can reveal your creativity and your friendship. Do you want to try?" + +Mia and Leo looked at their teacher and they looked at the blocks. They felt sorry for being jealous and angry. They nodded and said, "Yes, teacher, we want to try." + +Their teacher smiled and helped them pick up the blocks. She said, "That's great, Mia and Leo. I'm proud of you. Let's see what you can make together." +Jill was a bossy girl who liked to tell her brother Jack what to do. She always wanted to play with his toys and make him follow her rules. Jack did not like Jill's bossy ways, but he was too scared to say no to her. + +One day, Jill saw a shiny red car on Jack's bed. She wanted to play with it, but Jack said it was his new toy and he did not want to share. Jill got angry and said, "You are a mean boy! I will take your car and hide it!" She grabbed the car and ran to the living room. + +Jack followed her and saw her pick a curtain and hide behind it. He knew she was trying to trick him, so he pretended to look for the car in other places. He said, "Where is my car? Is it under the sofa? Is it in the closet? Is it behind the lamp?" He made a lot of noise and moved things around. + +Jill thought Jack was silly and did not know where she was. She smiled and said to herself, "He will never find me or his car. I am the smartest and the bossiest!" She did not notice that the curtain she picked was the one that covered the window. + +Suddenly, the wind blew and the curtain flew up. Jill and the car were exposed to the sun. Jack saw her and shouted, "There you are! Give me back my car!" He ran to the window and reached for the car. + +But Jill was too quick. She threw the car out of the window and said, "No, you can't have it! It is mine now!" She laughed and stuck out her tongue. + +Jack was shocked and sad. He watched his car fall to the ground and break into pieces. He cried and said, "You are a bad girl! You broke my car! I hate you!" He ran to his room and slammed the door. + +Jill felt sorry for what she did. She realized she was too bossy and mean. She wished she could say sorry to Jack and give him a hug. But she did not know how to make him happy again. She sat on the floor and cried too. +Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play in the park. They saw a big slide that was very high and shiny. They wanted to try it and have fun. + +"Let's go on the slide, Lily!" Tom said. "It looks so exciting!" + +"OK, Tom, but you go first. I'm a little scared," Lily said. + +Tom ran to the slide and climbed up the ladder. He was very happy and proud. He sat on the top and looked down. He saw Lily waiting for him at the bottom. + +"Here I go, Lily! Watch me!" Tom shouted. He pushed himself and slid down very fast. + +But the slide was not safe. It had a hole in the middle that Tom did not see. He fell through the hole and landed on the ground with a loud thud. He felt a lot of pain and cried. + +Lily heard Tom's cry and ran to him. She saw him lying on the ground, covered in dirt and blood. He had a big cut on his head and his arm was twisted. He looked very filthy and hurt. + +"Tom, Tom, are you OK?" Lily asked. She was very scared and sad. + +"No, Lily, I'm not OK. It hurts so much. I want my mom," Tom said. He sobbed and closed his eyes. + +Lily did not know what to do. She looked around and saw no one. They were alone in the park. She wished they had never gone on the slide. She wished they had stayed home and played with their toys. She wished she could help Tom. But she could not. She felt very helpless and guilty. She sat next to Tom and cried too. +Lily loved her pony, Spot. He was brown and white and had a soft mane. Lily liked to brush his hair and feed him carrots. Spot liked to run and jump and play with Lily. + +One day, Lily and Spot went to the park. They saw many other ponies and children there. Lily and Spot joined them and had fun. They raced and chased and laughed. Lily and Spot were very happy. + +But after a while, Lily and Spot felt tired. They had used a lot of energy. Lily's mom said it was time to go home and nap. Lily did not want to nap. She wanted to stay and play. She said no to her mom. She said no to Spot. She was difficult. + +Lily's mom was patient. She explained that napping was good for Lily and Spot. She said that napping would make them feel better and have more fun later. She said that napping was not a bad thing. She said that napping was a nice thing. + +Lily thought about it. She looked at Spot. He looked sleepy too. He nodded his head. He agreed with Lily's mom. He wanted to nap. Lily decided to listen to her mom and Spot. She said sorry for being difficult. She said yes to napping. She hugged her mom and Spot. They went home and napped. They had sweet dreams. They woke up happy and ready to play again. +Lily and Max were playing hide and seek in the park. Lily was the seeker and Max was the hider. Lily counted to ten and then opened her eyes. She started to search for Max. She looked behind the trees, under the benches, and in the bushes. But she could not find him. + +"Where are you, Max?" she called out. "I can't see you!" + +Max heard Lily's voice and giggled. He was hiding in a big cardboard box near the slide. He thought he had found the best hiding spot ever. He was very quiet and did not make any sound. + +Lily walked around the park and searched some more. She was getting tired and thirsty. She wished Max would come out soon. She saw the slide and decided to rest for a while. She climbed up the ladder and slid down. She felt the wind in her hair and smiled. + +As she reached the bottom, she saw something strange. There was a big cardboard box next to the slide. She wondered what was inside. She was curious and careful. She walked towards the box and peeked inside. + +"Boo!" Max shouted and jumped out of the box. He scared Lily and made her scream. He laughed and hugged her. "I found you, I found you!" he said. + +Lily was surprised and then happy. She hugged him back and said, "You are a very good hider, Max. But you are also a very silly hider. Why did you hide in a box?" + +Max shrugged and said, "I thought it was fun. And you did not find me for a long time." + +Lily nodded and said, "That's true. But I was also very tired and thirsty. Do you want to go and get some water and a snack?" + +Max agreed and said, "Yes, please. And then we can play some more. But this time, you hide and I seek." + +Lily smiled and said, "OK, deal. But don't hide in a box again. That's too easy." + +They held hands and walked to the water fountain. They drank some water and ate some cookies. They were happy and rested. They were ready to play again. +Tom was a cat who liked to eat tuna. He ate tuna every day from a can that his mom gave him. He thought tuna was the best food in the world. + +One day, Tom saw a big fish in the pond. He thought it was a tuna. He wanted to catch it and eat it. He jumped into the water and swam after the fish. + +But the fish was not a tuna. It was a shark. The shark saw Tom and opened its mouth. It wanted to eat Tom. Tom was scared. He tried to swim away, but the shark was faster. + +Then, Tom saw a dolphin. The dolphin was gentle and kind. It saw Tom and the shark. It wanted to help Tom. It swam between Tom and the shark and made a loud noise. The shark was afraid of the dolphin. It swam away. + +The dolphin took Tom to the shore. Tom was wet and cold, but he was safe. He thanked the dolphin for saving him. The dolphin smiled and said, "You're welcome. But next time, be careful. Not all fish are tuna." Tom nodded and learned his lesson. He went back to his mom and ate his tuna from the can. He was happy. +Tom and Lily wanted to play in the river, but they did not have a boat. They saw a big raft made of wood and rope on the shore. They thought it was a real raft that someone left there. + +"Let's take the raft and go on the river!" Tom said. + +"Okay, but be careful. The water is fast and deep," Lily said. + +They pushed the raft into the water and climbed on it. They used sticks to paddle and steer. They had fun looking at the fish and the birds and the trees. + +But then they saw a big rock in the middle of the river. The raft was going straight to it. + +"Look out! There is a rock!" Lily shouted. + +"Turn the raft! Turn the raft!" Tom shouted. + +They tried to turn the raft, but it was too late. The raft hit the rock and broke into pieces. Tom and Lily fell into the water. + +They were scared and wet. They grabbed some of the wood and swam to the shore. + +They were safe, but they were sad. They lost their raft. + +They saw a man walking towards them. He had a hat and a beard and a bag. + +"Are you okay, kids?" he asked. + +"Yes, we are okay. But we lost our raft," Tom said. + +"Your raft? That was not a real raft. That was a fake raft. I made it for a surprise," the man said. + +"A surprise? For who?" Lily asked. + +"For you. I am your uncle Bob. I came to visit you and your mom and dad. I wanted to surprise you with a raft ride. But I guess you found it before I could," the man said. + +He smiled and hugged them. + +Tom and Lily were surprised. They did not know they had an uncle Bob. They did not know he made a fake raft. + +They were still sad about the raft, but they were happy to meet their uncle. + +They went with him to their house. They told their mom and dad what happened. They laughed and talked and ate. + +They had a new surprise. They had a new uncle. They had a new friend. +Lila and Ben were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat, a scarf and a carrot nose. They gave him two stones for eyes and a smile. + +"Hello, Mr. Snowman!" Lila said. "Do you like your hat?" + +"Yes, I do!" Ben said in a funny voice, pretending to be the snowman. "But I am very cold. Can you give me a hug?" + +Lila and Ben laughed and hugged the snowman. They felt his cold and wet snow on their hands and faces. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud noise. It was a big truck with a plow. It was clearing the road from the snow. + +"Look out, Mr. Snowman!" Lila shouted. "The truck is coming!" + +But it was too late. The truck hit the snowman and broke him into pieces. The hat, the scarf, the carrot and the stones flew in the air. The snowman was gone. + +Lila and Ben were very sad. They cried and ran to their mom. + +"Mom, mom, the truck killed our snowman!" Lila sobbed. + +"Oh, honey, I'm sorry," mom said. "But don't worry, the snowman was not real. He was fake. He was made of snow, and snow melts when it gets warm. See, there is a stream of water where he was." + +Lila and Ben looked at the stream. They saw the water sparkling in the sun. They felt a little better. + +"Can we make another snowman, mom?" Ben asked. + +"Sure, you can," mom said. "But not here. Let's go to the park. There is more snow there. And maybe you can find some friends to play with." + +Lila and Ben nodded. They dried their tears and took their gloves and hats. They followed mom to the park, hoping to make a new snowman. And maybe a snowdog, too. +Ben and Lily liked to play in the old shed. They found many things to measure with their ruler. They measured the boxes, the tools, the cans and the jars. They had fun seeing how big and small things were. + +But one day, they saw a big bag in the corner. They wondered what was inside. They dragged the bag to the middle of the shed. They opened it and saw a lot of dust. The dust was filthy and smelly. They coughed and sneezed. + +They wanted to measure the dust, but it was too much. It spilled out of the bag and covered the floor. It made the air dirty and hard to breathe. They tried to run out of the shed, but the door was stuck. They banged on the door and shouted for help, but no one heard them. + +They were trapped in the shed with the filthy dust. They felt sick and scared. They wished they never opened the bag. They wished they never played in the shed. They wished they listened to their mom, who told them to stay away from the old shed. But it was too late. The end. +Lisa loved ponies. She wanted to have a pony of her own. She asked her mom and dad many times, but they said no. They said ponies need a lot of space and food and care. They said they could not supply all that for a pony. + +One day, Lisa saw a sign on the road. It said "Pony rides for kids". Lisa was very happy. She begged her mom and dad to take her there. They said yes. They drove to the farm where the sign was. There were many ponies there. Lisa wanted to ride them all. + +She chose a white pony with a pink mane. She named her Fluffy. She climbed on Fluffy's back. A lady helped her. The lady said, "Be gentle with Fluffy. She is very delicate. She likes to be petted and talked to. Don't pull her hair or kick her sides. Just hold the reins and say 'go' or 'stop'." + +Lisa nodded. She said, "Hello, Fluffy. You are very pretty. I like you. Let's go for a ride." She said 'go' and Fluffy started to walk. Lisa felt the wind in her hair and the sun on her face. She smiled. She felt like she had a pony of her own. She said, "Thank you, Fluffy. You are the best pony ever." Fluffy neighed. She liked Lisa too. They had a lot of fun. +Lila and Ben are friends. They like to play near the river. They have a rod. They want to catch fish. + +They see a big fish in the water. Ben says, "I want to catch it!" He throws the rod in the river. The fish bites the rod. Ben pulls the rod. The fish is strong. It pulls Ben into the river. + +Lila is scared. She shouts, "Ben, Ben, help!" She runs to the river. She sees Ben in the water. He is wet and cold. He holds the rod. He says, "Lila, help me!" + +Lila is brave. She grabs the rod. She pulls Ben out of the river. She carries him to the shore. She says, "Ben, are you okay?" Ben says, "Yes, I am okay. Thank you, Lila. You are a good friend." + +They look at the rod. The fish is gone. The rod is broken. They are sad. They say, "Poor rod. Poor fish. We are sorry." + +They hug each other. They go home. They tell their moms what happened. Their moms are glad they are safe. They give them warm clothes and soup. They say, "You are lucky. Next time, be careful." Lila and Ben say, "Yes, mom. We will." They smile. They are happy. They are still friends. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to swing and slide and run. They also liked to eat snacks. Mom gave them each a bag of peanuts. They said thank you and opened their bags. + +But then, a squirrel appeared. It was fast and furry and had a big tail. It ran to Lily and Ben and tried to take their peanuts. Lily and Ben were scared and held their bags tight. They shouted, "Go away, squirrel! These are our peanuts!" + +The squirrel did not listen. It jumped on the swing and tried to grab Lily's bag. Lily swung away and said, "No, squirrel! This is my peanut!" The squirrel jumped on the slide and tried to grab Ben's bag. Ben slid down and said, "No, squirrel! This is my peanut!" + +The squirrel was angry and hungry. It chased Lily and Ben around the park. They ran and ran and ran. They looked for Mom. They saw her on a bench. They ran to her and said, "Mom, help! There is a bad squirrel that wants our peanuts!" + +Mom saw the squirrel and said, "Oh, no! That is a naughty squirrel! Let's go to another place and eat our peanuts there." She took Lily and Ben by the hand and walked to another bench. The squirrel followed them and tried to catch up. But Mom was faster and smarter. She threw some peanuts on the ground and said, "Here, squirrel! You can have these peanuts. But leave us alone!" + +The squirrel saw the peanuts and stopped. It sniffed and tasted them. It liked them and ate them. It forgot about Lily and Ben and their bags. It was happy and full. + +Lily and Ben were happy and safe. They sat on the bench with Mom and ate their peanuts. They said, "Thank you, Mom. You are the best. We don't like that squirrel. It was mean and greedy." + +Mom said, "You're welcome, my loves. I'm glad you're okay. That squirrel was rude and silly. But maybe it was just hungry and lonely. Maybe it needs a friend." + +Lily and Ben thought about that. They felt a little sorry for the squirrel. They said, "Maybe, Mom. Maybe we can share some peanuts with it next time. But only if it is nice and polite." + +Mom smiled and hugged them. She said, "That's very kind of you, my loves. Sharing is caring. But always be careful and ask me first. Some animals can be dangerous or sick. And some peanuts can be bad or dirty." + +Lily and Ben nodded and agreed. They finished their peanuts and threw their bags in the trash. They said, "We love you, Mom. And we love peanuts. But we don't love that squirrel. Not today." + +The end. +Lily loved to play with her mom's perfume. She liked to smell the different bottles and pretend she was a princess. But one day, she was too rough with a perfume bottle and it broke. The perfume spilled on the floor and made a big mess. Lily was scared and sad. + +"Mommy, mommy, I'm sorry!" she cried. "I broke your perfume!" + +Mommy came into the room and saw the broken bottle and the perfume on the floor. She was not happy, but she was not angry either. She hugged Lily and said, "It's okay, sweetie. Accidents happen. But you have to be careful with perfume. It's fragile and expensive. And it can hurt your skin and eyes if you touch it or get it in your eyes." + +"I'm sorry, mommy. I didn't mean to break it. I just wanted to smell it," Lily said. + +"I know, honey. But perfume is not a toy. It's for grown-ups. And you have to ask me before you use it. Do you understand?" Mommy said. + +"Yes, mommy. I understand. Can we fix the bottle?" Lily asked. + +"I'm afraid not, darling. The bottle is too broken to fix. But maybe we can restore some of the perfume. Let's get a clean jar and a funnel and see if we can save some of the perfume from the floor. And then we'll clean up the mess together, okay?" Mommy said. + +"Okay, mommy. Thank you, mommy. I love you, mommy," Lily said. + +"I love you too, Lily. And I love your perfume too. But I love you more," Mommy said. +Tom had a big key that he liked very much. He found it in a box in the attic. It was shiny and heavy and had a funny shape. He wondered what it could open. He kept it in his pocket and showed it to his friends. + +One day, he went to the park with his mom and his dog. He saw a big slide and wanted to try it. He ran to the slide and climbed up the ladder. He was a little nervous, but he was also excited. He put his key in his mouth and slid down. + +But when he reached the bottom, he felt something was wrong. He opened his mouth and his key was gone. He looked around and saw his key flying in the air. His dog had jumped and caught it. He was playing with it and running away. + +Tom was very sad and angry. He loved his key and he did not want to lose it. He ran after his dog and shouted, "Give me back my key! It is mine! It is not a toy!" + +His mom saw what happened and followed him. She called the dog and tried to calm Tom down. She said, "I know you value your key, but your dog does not know that. He thinks it is a fun thing to play with. He does not want to hurt you or your key. He just wants to have fun with you." + +She took the key from the dog and gave it back to Tom. She said, "Maybe you should keep your key somewhere safe, like in your backpack or in your drawer. Then you can look at it and play with it when you want, but you won't lose it or drop it." + +Tom nodded and hugged his mom. He said, "Thank you, mom. You are right. I will keep my key safe. And I will play with my dog with something else, like a ball or a stick. He is a good dog and I love him too." +Ben and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. Ben had a big truck and Lily had a doll. Ben wanted to play with the doll, but Lily said no. + +"Please, Lily, let me play with the doll. I will give you my truck," Ben said. + +"No, Ben, this is my doll. You can't have it. Go away," Lily said. + +Ben was angry. He tried to grab the doll from Lily, but she held it tight. They started to pull and tug on the doll, and they both complained. + +"Stop it, Ben, you are hurting me!" Lily complained. + +"Stop it, Lily, you are not fair!" Ben complained. + +Their mom heard the noise and came to the living room. She saw Ben and Lily fighting over the doll, and she was not happy. + +"Ben and Lily, what are you doing? Why are you fighting over the doll?" Mom asked. + +"Mom, Ben wants to take my doll, but it is mine. He is mean," Lily said. + +"Mom, Lily won't let me play with the doll, but I want to. She is selfish," Ben said. + +Mom sighed. She knew that Ben and Lily were both smart, but they needed to learn to share and be kind. + +"Ben and Lily, listen to me. The doll is Lily's, and she can decide who plays with it. But she should also be nice and let you have a turn, Ben. And you, Ben, should respect Lily's things and not try to take them. If you can't play nicely, I will take away both the doll and the truck. Do you understand?" Mom said. + +Ben and Lily looked at each other. They did not want to lose their toys. They knew that Mom was serious, and that was a big threat. + +"Yes, Mom, we understand," Ben and Lily said. + +"Good. Now, why don't you apologize to each other, and then you can take turns playing with the doll and the truck. And remember, sharing is caring," Mom said. + +Ben and Lily said sorry to each other, and hugged. Then they played with the doll and the truck, and they had fun. They were smart, and they learned their lesson. Mom smiled, and gave them a kiss. +Timmy was a shy boy who did not like to talk in front of the class. He was afraid of the big blackboard and the loud teacher. One day, the teacher asked him to come up and write his name on the blackboard. Timmy felt his legs tremble and his heart beat fast. He did not want to go. + +"Come on, Timmy, don't be scared. It's easy. Just write your name like this." The teacher wrote her name on the blackboard with a white stick. She smiled at Timmy and held out her hand. + +Timmy looked at the teacher. She was nice and attractive. She had long yellow hair and blue eyes. She wore a red dress and a shiny necklace. Timmy liked her, but he was still scared. He shook his head and hid behind his desk. + +The other kids in the class laughed at Timmy. They called him names and made fun of him. They said he was a baby and a chicken. Timmy felt tears in his eyes. He wished he could disappear. + +"Stop it, you meanies!" A voice shouted. It was Lucy, Timmy's best friend. She was a brave girl who liked to play and explore. She had short brown hair and green eyes. She wore a blue shirt and jeans. She stood up and walked to the front of the class. She took the white stick from the teacher and wrote her name on the blackboard. Then she wrote Timmy's name next to hers. She turned to the class and said, "Timmy is my friend. He is smart and kind. He can write his name, but he is shy. That's okay. Everyone is different. You should not laugh at him. You should be nice to him." + +The class was quiet. They looked at Lucy and Timmy. They felt ashamed and sorry. The teacher smiled and clapped her hands. She said, "Well done, Lucy. You are a good friend and a good leader. You are right. Everyone is different and everyone is special. We should respect and help each other. Timmy, you can come up and join Lucy. You don't have to be afraid. We are all here to support you." + +Timmy felt a warm feeling in his chest. He wiped his eyes and smiled. He got up and walked to the front of the class.

You are nice and attractive. I will try to write my name on the blackboard." He took the white stick and wrote his name next to Lucy's. He felt proud and happy. The class cheered and clapped for Timmy. Timmy and Lucy hugged each other and smiled. They had learned a lesson about friendship and courage. +Sara loves to dance. She dances in the morning, in the afternoon, and at night. She dances with her dolls, her teddy bear, and her mom. She dances when she is happy, when she is sad, and when she is bored. + +One day, Sara sees a new dress in the store. It is pink and shiny and has a thick skirt that twirls. Sara wants the dress very much. She thinks it is the best dress for dancing. She asks her mom, "Mom, can I have the dress? I need the dress for dancing." + +Mom looks at the dress and smiles. She says, "It is a pretty dress, Sara, but you don't need it for dancing. You can dance in any dress, or in no dress at all. You only need your feet, your arms, and your heart for dancing." + +Sara thinks for a moment. She likes the dress, but she loves dancing more. She says, "You are right, Mom. I don't need the dress for dancing. But can I have it anyway? It is so pink and shiny and thick." + +Mom laughs and hugs Sara. She says, "Maybe for your birthday, Sara. But for now, let's go home and dance together. You are my favorite dance partner." + +Sara nods and smiles. She holds Mom's hand and skips to the car. She thinks, "I don't need the dress for dancing, but I do need Mom. She is the best mom and the best dancer in the world." +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to pretend they were pirates and look for treasure. They had a map and a sword made of wood. They saw a big hill and thought there might be gold there. + +They climbed the hill and found a hole. They looked inside and saw something shiny. They were very happy and wanted to take it. But then they heard a growl. A big dog came out of the hole. It had sharp teeth and angry eyes. It wanted the shiny thing too. + +The dog barked and ran at them. Lily and Ben were scared and ran away. But the dog was faster and caught them. It bit their legs and made them hurt. It made them drop the sword and the map. It took the shiny thing in its mouth. It was a leather belt with a metal buckle. + +Lily and Ben cried and begged the dog to let them go. They said they were sorry and they did not want the belt. They said they would give the dog anything it wanted. They surrendered to the dog. But the dog did not care. It was bitter and mean. It dragged them to the hole and locked them inside. It kept the belt and the sword and the map. It was happy and proud. + +Lily and Ben were sad and trapped. They had no treasure and no way out. They wished they never climbed the hill. They wished they never saw the belt. They wished they never played pirates. They learned a hard lesson. The end. +Sara likes to go to the park with her grandma. Grandma has a cane to help her walk. Sara holds grandma's hand and they walk slowly. Sara sees many things in the park: birds, flowers, dogs, and children. + +One day, Sara sees a man with a cart. He has many balloons in the cart.

It seemed friendly. Leo reached out his hand and touched the dog's head. The dog's fur was soft and warm. Leo smiled. + +"Good doggy," Leo said. "You are very nice. Can we hug you?" + +The dog blinked again and moved closer to Leo. It put its head on Leo's waist and snuggled. Leo wrapped his arms around the dog and giggled. + +"Wow, doggy," Leo said. "You are very cozy. Can we play with you?" + +The dog barked and wagged its tail faster. It jumped off Leo and ran to a ball. It picked up the ball with its mouth and brought it back to Leo. Leo threw the ball and the dog chased it. Mia joined the game and threw the ball too. The dog ran back and forth, bringing the ball to Mia and Leo. They had a lot of fun. + +"Look, Mommy," Mia said. "We made a new friend. The doggy is very mild and sweet. Can we keep him?" + +Mommy smiled and shook her head. She pointed to a man who was walking towards them. He had a leash in his hand. + +"That's the doggy's owner," Mommy said. "He is looking for his doggy. We have to say goodbye to the doggy now." + +Mia and Leo felt sad. They hugged the dog one more time and thanked him for playing with them. The dog licked their faces and barked. The man came and put the leash on the dog. He thanked Mia and Leo for being kind to his dog. + +"His name is Max," the man said. "He likes to play with kids. Maybe we can see you again sometime." + +Mia and Leo nodded and waved.

He laughs. + +The worm curls up into a ball. It does not like to be held. + +"Is it normal?" Tom asks. He is curious about the worm. + +"Yes, it is normal," Lily says. She knows a lot about worms. "Worms live in the dirt and eat dead plants. They help the soil to be healthy." + +"Wow, worms are cool," Tom says. He puts the worm back in the dirt. He and Lily watch it burrow away. + +"Bye, worm," they say. They wave to the worm and then look for more bugs. They have fun in the garden. +Lila and Ben are friends who like to play pretend. They have a big box that they use as a palace. They put pillows and blankets inside to make it cozy. They also have some toys and books that they bring to their palace. + +One day, they decide to make a cake for their palace. They find a bowl and a spoon in the kitchen. They look for things to mix in the bowl. They see some flour, sugar, eggs, milk, and chocolate. They think these are good for a cake. + +They start to mix everything in the bowl. They mix and mix and mix. They are very slow and careful. They do not want to spill or make a mess. They talk to each other as they mix. + +"What kind of cake are we making?" Lila asks. + +"A chocolate cake!" Ben says. "Chocolate is my favorite." + +"Mine too!" Lila says. "Do you think our cake will be yummy?" + +"Of course!" Ben says.

He sees Tom and Lily's mom and dad. They are coming to the sand. They look angry too. He runs away. + +Tom and Lily's mom and dad hug them. They say, "We are sorry. That boy was rude. Your castle was beautiful. Do you want to make another one?" + +Tom and Lily nod and smile. They say, "Yes, please. We like to make castles. They are fun." They take their bucket and shovel and start again. They are happy. +Lily and Max were playing with their toys in the living room. Lily had a purple doll that she loved very much. Max had a red car that he liked to zoom around. They were having fun, but they also wanted to see what the other had. + +"Can I see your doll?" Max asked Lily. + +"OK, but be nice to her. She is my best friend," Lily said. She gave Max her purple doll and took his red car. + +Max looked at the purple doll. She had long hair, a dress, and shoes. He wanted to see how she felt.

They did not know the doll could talk. + +"Why did you pinch me?" the doll asked Max. She sounded sad and angry. + +"I'm sorry, I just wanted to see," Max said. He felt bad for hurting the doll. + +"Pinching is not nice. It hurts. You should say sorry to Lily too. She is my owner and she takes good care of me," the doll said. + +Max gave the doll back to Lily. He looked at her and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I did not mean to hurt your doll. Can we still be friends?" + +Lily hugged her doll and smiled at Max. She said, "It's OK, Max. I forgive you. But don't pinch again. Pinching is not nice.

They had a lot of animals, but their favorite was the cow. The cow was big and white and black, and it made a loud moo sound when they pressed its ear. + +"Let's split the cow," Ben said. "You can have the front and I can have the back." + +Lily did not like that idea. She wanted the whole cow for herself. "No, I want the cow," she said. "It is mine." + +They both pulled the cow hard, trying to get it away from each other. But the cow was not very strong. It was made of plastic and it had a seam in the middle.

It was fun and hard. But they were also hungry. They saw a big cake on the table. It looked yummy and sweet. + +"Let's eat some cake," Sara said. "Mom won't mind." + +"OK," Tom said. "But we have to be careful. The cake is delicate. We can't break it." + +They ran to the table and took a big piece of cake. They started to chew it. It was soft and tasty. They smiled and chewed more. + +But then they heard a loud noise. It was Mom. She was angry and sad. + +"What did you do?" she shouted. "That was Grandma's cake! She made it for her birthday. It was special and beautiful. And you ruined it!" + +Sara and Tom felt bad and scared. They dropped the cake and ran to the tire. They hid behind it and cried.

They said they knew a place where they could find some soap and water to wash the flea away. + +But Bella did not want to go. She said she was afraid of soap and water. She said they would make her fur wet and cold and smelly. She said she would rather keep the flea than lose her fur. She insisted that she was fine and did not need any help. + +Rex and Luna tried to convince her that soap and water were good for her. They said they would make her fur clean and soft and shiny. They said they would make the flea go away and stop biting her. They said they would be with her and keep her warm and dry. They said they were her friends and wanted her to be happy. + +But Bella did not listen. She was stubborn and proud. She thought she knew better than Rex and Luna. She thought she could handle the flea by herself. She thought soap and water were bad for her. She insisted that she did not want to go. + +So Rex and Luna left her alone and went to the place where they found some soap and water. They washed their fur and felt fresh and comfortable. They had fun and played in the sun. They were glad they had each other and no fleas. + +But Bella stayed in the park and kept scratching. She felt dirty and miserable. She had no fun and no friends. She was sad and lonely and had only the flea. + +The moral of the story is: sometimes it is better to listen to your friends and accept their help than to insist on your own way and suffer alone. +Tom and Sam were brothers who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a lizard on a rock. It was green and had a long tail. Tom wanted to catch it and put it in a jar. Sam said no, that was mean. + +"Why?" Tom asked. "It is just an ordinary lizard. It is not special or pretty." + +Sam shook his head. "Every lizard is special and pretty in its own way. It has a home and a family and feelings. How would you like it if someone took you away from your home and family and put you in a jar?" + +Tom thought for a moment. He did not like that idea at all. He loved his home and family and wanted to be free. He looked at the lizard again. It was not ordinary. It was alive and beautiful and happy. + +"Okay, Sam, you are right. Let's leave the lizard alone. Maybe we can watch it from a distance and learn more about it." + +They sat quietly on the grass and watched the lizard. It moved its head and blinked its eyes. It flicked its tongue and ran across the rock. It looked at them and tilted its head. It seemed curious and friendly. + +Tom and Sam smiled and laughed. They felt a connection with the lizard. They decided to name it Lizzy and visit it often. They learned to respect and appreciate all living things, even the ones that seemed ordinary. +Lily was a little girl who liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Anna. Anna had long hair, a pretty dress, and a smile. Lily thought Anna was very attractive. + +One Tuesday, Lily's mom told her it was time to sleep. Lily did not want to sleep. She wanted to play with Anna more. She said, "No, mom, I want to play!" + +Mom said, "Lily, you need to sleep. Sleep is good for you. It makes you grow and learn and be happy. If you don't sleep, you will be tired and grumpy and sick. Do you want that?" + +Lily thought for a moment. She did not want to be tired and grumpy and sick. She wanted to be happy and healthy and smart. She said, "Okay, mom, I will sleep. But can I take Anna with me?" + +Mom smiled and said, "Of course, you can take Anna with you. She can sleep with you and keep you company. But you have to promise me to close your eyes and sleep well." + +Lily nodded and said, "I promise, mom. Thank you for letting me take Anna with me. I love you and I love Anna." + +Mom hugged Lily and said, "I love you too, Lily. And I'm sure Anna loves you too. Now, good night and sweet dreams." + +Lily took Anna to her bed and cuddled with her. She closed her eyes and fell asleep. She dreamed of playing with Anna and having fun. She was happy. + +The moral of the story is: Sleep is important for your health and happiness. You should listen to your mom and go to bed on time. You can still enjoy your toys and friends in your dreams. +Lily and Max are friends. They like to play with boats in the pond. They have two boats, one red and one blue. They want to see which boat is faster. + +"Let's race our boats!" Max says. "We can start from this row of rocks and go to that row of ducks." + +"OK!" Lily says. "I have the red boat. You have the blue boat. Ready, set, go!" + +They push their boats into the water and watch them sail. The wind blows and the boats move fast. Lily and Max cheer for their boats. + +"Go, red boat, go!" Lily says. + +"Go, blue boat, go!" Max says. + +The boats are close to each other. They reach the row of ducks. The ducks quack and swim away. The boats pass the ducks. + +"Who won?" Lily asks. + +"I don't know," Max says. "They were both very fast. I think it was a tie." + +Lily and Max smile. They are happy. They hug their boats. + +"We have successful boats!" Lily says. + +"Yes, we do!" Max says. "They are the best boats in the pond. Let's race them again!" +Ben and Lily are twins who like to play in the garden. They dig in the soil and find worms and bugs. They make mud pies and castles. They have fun until it is time to go inside. + +But Ben does not want to go inside. He wants to play more. He says no to Mom and runs away. He hides behind a big tree. He thinks Mom will not find him. + +Lily goes inside with Mom. She washes her hands and face. She drinks some milk and eats a cookie. She is tired and wants to sleep. She goes to her bed and cuddles with her teddy bear. She is happy and warm. + +Mom looks for Ben in the garden. She calls his name but he does not answer. She is worried and sad. She walks around the tree and sees Ben. He is lying on the soil. He is dirty and cold. He is asleep. + +Mom picks up Ben and carries him inside. She cleans him and puts him in his bed. She kisses him and says sorry. She hopes he will not be mad. She is gentle and loving. She turns off the light and leaves the room. + +Ben and Lily sleep in their beds. They dream of the garden and the worms and the bugs. They are twins who like to play. They are also twins who need to listen. They will learn and grow. They are loved. +Lily was a young girl who liked to play in the garden. She had a big basket where she kept her toys and books. One day, she decided to look for new things to put in her basket. She walked around the garden and saw many flowers, bugs and birds. She picked some flowers and put them in her basket. She saw a shiny bug and tried to catch it, but it flew away. She heard a bird singing and followed the sound. + +She came to a big tree with a hole in it. She looked inside the hole and saw something shiny. She reached in and pulled it out. It was a necklace with a heart-shaped pendant. She liked it very much and put it around her neck. She wondered who left it there and why. + +She ran back to the house and showed her mom the necklace. Her mom smiled and hugged her. She said, "That was my necklace when I was a young girl like you. I used to play in the garden and hide it in the tree. I forgot about it until now. You have found a very special memory of mine. Thank you, Lily. You can keep it if you want." + +Lily was happy and proud. She had discovered a beautiful thing and a memory of her mom. She said, "I love you, mom. And I love your necklace. Can we play in the garden together?" + +Her mom said, "Of course, my sweet girl. Let's go and have some fun." They walked hand in hand to the garden and played until the sun went down. +Sara and Ben like to dance. They dance in the living room when mom is not home. They jump and spin and laugh. They play loud music on the radio. + +One day, mom comes home early. She hears the music and sees the mess. She is very angry. She turns off the radio and says, "Sara and Ben, what are you doing? You are not allowed to dance in the living room. You are making a lot of noise and breaking things. You are very naughty. I will punish you." + +Sara and Ben feel guilty. They say, "We are sorry, mom. We just wanted to have fun. We did not mean to make you mad. Please do not punish us." + +But mom does not listen. She says, "You have to go to your rooms and stay there. You cannot watch TV or play with your toys. You cannot have any snacks or dessert. You have to think about what you did wrong. You will not dance again for a long time." + +Sara and Ben cry. They go to their rooms and sit on their beds. They are sad and bored. They miss dancing and having fun. They wish they had listened to mom. They do not know when they will dance again. They have a bad ending. +Lily and Ben were playing in the snow with their parent. 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. + +But then the wind started to blow very hard. The snowman's hat flew away. The snowman's scarf came loose. The snowman's nose fell off. The snowman looked sad. + +Lily and Ben ran to the snowman. They tried to fix him. But they were too cold. They started to shiver. + +"Come on, kids, let's go inside," their parent said. "It's too cold to play outside. We can make another snowman tomorrow." + +"But what about our snowman?" Lily asked. "He will be lonely and cold." + +"Don't worry, he will be fine," their parent said. "He is a wise snowman. He knows how to stay warm. He will make friends with the other snowmen. And he will wait for us to come back." + +Lily and Ben looked at their snowman. He smiled at them with his rock eyes. He seemed to say, "Thank you for making me. I will see you soon." + +Lily and Ben smiled back. They hugged their snowman. Then they followed their parent inside. They drank hot chocolate and ate cookies. They were warm and cozy. They were very happy. +Anna and Ben like to sort their toys. They have a huge box with many toys. They sort them by color, by shape, by size, by sound. They have fun playing with their toys and sorting them. + +One day, they decide to sort their toys outside. They take their huge box and go to the garden. There is a lot of sunshine and they feel warm and happy. They put their box on the grass and start to sort their toys. + +"Look, Anna, I have a red car and a red ball. They are both red. I put them here," Ben says, pointing to a corner of the box. + +"Good, Ben. I have a yellow duck and a yellow star. They are both yellow. I put them here," Anna says, pointing to another corner of the box. + +They sort their toys by color until they have four corners: red, yellow, blue and green. They are proud of their work and smile at each other. + +"Let's sort them by shape now," Ben says. "I have a round ball and a round cookie. They are both round. I put them here." + +"OK, Ben. I have a square box and a square book. They are both square. I put them here," Anna says. + +They sort their toys by shape until they have four piles: round, square, triangle and star. They are happy and clap their hands. + +"Let's sort them by size now," Anna says. "I have a big bear and a big doll. They are both big. I put them here." + +"Sure, Anna. I have a small car and a small frog. They are both small. I put them here," Ben says. + +They sort their toys by size until they have four groups: big, small, medium and tiny. They are excited and hug each other. + +"Let's sort them by sound now," Ben says. "I have a noisy drum and a noisy horn. They are both noisy. I put them here." + +"Fine, Ben. I have a quiet cat and a quiet mouse. They are both quiet. I put them here," Anna says. + +They sort their toys by sound until they have four sets: noisy, quiet, musical and silent. They are amazed and laugh together. + +They look at their huge box and see that they have sorted all their toys. They feel proud and happy. They have had a lot of fun sorting their toys in the sunshine. They decide to play with their toys and enjoy the rest of the day. +Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a big box. They pretend the box is a spaceship. They want to go to the world in the sky. + +"Are you ready, Anna?" Tom asks. + +"Yes, Tom. Let's go!" Anna says. + +They get in the box. They close the lid. They make noises like a spaceship. They count to ten. They open the lid. They see the world in the sky. It is bright and shiny. They see stars and moons. + +"Wow, it is so pretty!" Anna says. + +"Look, there is a flag!" Tom says. + +They see a flag on a stick. It has red and blue and white. They get out of the box. They march to the flag. They salute the flag. They feel proud. + +"We are the first ones to come here!" Tom says. + +"Yes, we are!" Anna says. + +They hear a voice. It is Mom. She calls them for lunch. + +"Tom, Anna, come back! It is time to eat!" Mom says. + +They look at each other. They smile. They get in the box. They close the lid. They make noises like a spaceship. They count to ten. They open the lid. They see the park. They see Mom. They run to her. They hug her. + +"Did you have fun, kids?" Mom asks. + +"Yes, Mom. We went to the world in the sky!" Tom says. + +"We saw a flag and we marched!" Anna says. + +Mom laughs. She kisses them. She takes them to the table. She gives them sandwiches and juice. + +"You are very brave, kids. But you are also very safe here with me." Mom says. + +Tom and Anna nod. They eat their lunch. They are happy. They love Mom. They love the park. They love the world in the sky. They love to play. +Ben and Lily were playing in the park with their dolls. They saw a man with a big mustache sitting on a bench. He looked sad and lonely. + +"Let's go and talk to him," Lily said. "Maybe he needs a friend." + +"OK," Ben said. "But be careful. His mustache is terrible. It might tickle us or make us sneeze." + +They walked up to the man and smiled. "Hello, mister," Lily said. "What is your name?" + +The man looked surprised and then smiled back. "Hello, little ones," he said. "My name is Sam. What are your names?" + +"I'm Lily and this is Ben," Lily said. "We are playing with our dolls. Do you want to play with us?" + +Sam nodded. "That would be very nice," he said. "Thank you for asking. I don't have many friends here. I moved from another place and I miss my family." + +"We are sorry," Ben said. "That is sad. Where did you move from?" + +"I moved from France," Sam said. "That is a country far away from here. They speak a different language there. Do you know any words in French?" + +Lily and Ben shook their heads. "No, we don't," they said. + +Sam laughed. "Well, let me teach you some," he said. "Bonjour means hello. Merci means thank you. And moustache means mustache." + +Lily and Ben repeated the words. "Bonjour, merci, moustache," they said. + +"Very good," Sam said. "You are smart and kind. I like you. Can I be your friend?" + +"Yes, of course," Lily and Ben said. "We like you too. You have a nice mustache. It is not terrible at all." + +They hugged Sam and invited him to play with their dolls. Sam was happy and so were they. They had made a new friend. +Tom and Lily were adventurous twins. They liked to explore new places and try new things. One day, they found a big jar of honey in the kitchen. They wanted to taste it, but they knew their mom said no. + +"Let's talk to mom and ask her if we can have some honey," Lily said. + +"No, she will say no. Let's just take a little bit with a teaspoon. She won't notice," Tom said. + +He climbed on a chair and reached for the jar. He opened it and dipped a teaspoon in it. He licked the honey and smiled. + +"Mmm, this is so sweet and yummy. Here, Lily, you try some too," he said. + +He handed the teaspoon to Lily. She also licked the honey and smiled. + +"This is the best thing ever. Let's have some more," she said. + +They took turns dipping the teaspoon in the honey and licking it. They did not see their mom coming into the kitchen. She saw them and was very angry. + +"Tom and Lily, what are you doing? You know you are not supposed to touch the honey. That is for special occasions only. You are very naughty and greedy. You have to go to your room and think about what you did. And no dessert for you tonight," she said. + +She took the jar and the teaspoon away from them. She sent them to their room. Tom and Lily felt very sorry and sad. They wished they had listened to their mom and talked to her. They learned that it is wrong to take things without asking and that honey is not as sweet as being good. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the field near their house. The field has grass, flowers and trees. It is a lovely field. + +One day, Lily and Ben have to go to their grandma's house. They have to take a bus with their mom. They say goodbye to the field. + +"Bye bye, field. We will come back soon," Lily says. + +"Bye bye, field. We will miss you," Ben says. + +The bus takes them far away from the field. They see houses, cars and shops. They do not see the field anymore. + +Lily and Ben are sad. They miss the field. They miss the grass, the flowers and the trees. + +They get to their grandma's house. Their grandma is happy to see them. She gives them hugs and cookies. She has a big garden with a swing and a slide. + +"Look, Lily and Ben. You can play in my garden. It is a lovely garden," grandma says. + +Lily and Ben smile. They thank their grandma. They run to the garden. They play on the swing and the slide. They see some birds and butterflies. + +They have fun in the garden. But they still miss the field. They hope they can go back soon. +One day, Lily and her mom went to the park. Lily liked to play on the swings and the slide. She saw a big dog with a nice lady. The dog was brown and fluffy. Lily wanted to pet the dog. + +"Can I say hello to your dog?" Lily asked the lady. + +"Sure, his name is Max. He is very friendly," the lady said. "But you have to be gentle. He likes to get massages on his ears and his belly." + +Lily nodded and walked slowly to Max. She reached out her hand and let him sniff it. Then she rubbed his ears and his belly. Max wagged his tail and licked her face. Lily giggled and hugged him. + +"Good girl, Lily. You are very kind to Max," her mom said. "Do you want to follow him and the lady? They are going for a walk around the park." + +"Yes, please," Lily said. "I like Max. He is soft and warm." + +Lily and her mom followed Max and the lady. They walked on the grass and the path. They saw flowers and birds and squirrels. Lily and Max ran and chased each other. They had fun. + +But then the sky became dark and cloudy. It started to rain. Lily and her mom and Max and the lady ran to a big tree. They waited under the tree for the rain to stop. + +"Are you cold, Lily?" her mom asked. + +"A little bit," Lily said. + +"Here, take my jacket. And you can cuddle with Max. He will keep you warm," her mom said. + +Lily put on her mom's jacket and snuggled with Max. He gave her a massage with his paws and his nose. Lily felt cozy and happy. + +"Thank you, Max. You are a good friend," Lily said. + +Max barked and licked her again. He was happy too. +Anna and Ben are twins. They are three years old. Today is their birthday. They are very happy. They want to celebrate with their friends. + +They help their mom make cookies. They mix flour, butter, sugar and eggs. They cut out shapes with cookie cutters. They put the cookies in the oven. They smell yummy. + +Mom says, "The cookies are ready. Let's decorate them." She gives them icing and sprinkles. Anna and Ben make lovely cookies. They make stars, hearts, flowers and animals. They use different colors and patterns. + +They put the cookies on a big plate. They go to the living room. Their friends are waiting for them. They sing, "Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Anna and Ben, happy birthday to you!" + +Anna and Ben blow out the candles on their cake. They say, "Thank you for coming. We have cookies for you. Please take one." Their friends say, "Thank you. Your cookies are lovely. You are very good at baking." They all eat the cookies and the cake. They enjoy the party. They celebrate their birthday. They are very happy. +Anna and Ben are friends who like to play in the park. One day, they find a shiny rock under a tree. Anna picks it up and says, "Look, Ben, I found a gem! It is so pretty and sparkly!" + +Ben wants to see the gem too, but Anna does not want to share. She says, "No, it is mine! I found it first! You can't have it!" + +Ben feels sad and angry. He says, "That is not fair, Anna! You are not a good friend! You should yield the gem to me, or we can take turns to hold it!" + +Anna thinks for a moment. She remembers that Ben is a reliable friend who always helps her and shares his toys with her. She feels sorry for being selfish. She says, "You are right, Ben. I am sorry. I should not keep the gem all to myself. You are a good friend. Here, you can hold the gem for a while, and then we can swap." + +Ben smiles and says, "Thank you, Anna. You are a good friend too. The gem is very beautiful, but our friendship is more precious." They hug and play with the gem together, happy and content. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play in the garden. They had a big tree house that their father had built for them. They had many toys and books in the tree house, but their favorite thing was a big box of apples that their mother had given them. + +One day, they decided to have a picnic in the tree house. They took some bread, cheese, and juice from the kitchen and climbed up the ladder. They also took two apples from the box and put them on a plate. + +"Let's eat our apples first," said Ben, who was very hungry. "They are sweet and juicy." + +"Okay," said Lily, who was enthusiastic. "But we have to be careful not to drop them. They might get dirty or hurt." + +They each took a bite of their apples and smiled. They were delicious. They ate them quickly and threw the cores in the trash bin. + +"Can we have another apple?" asked Lily, who still wanted more. + +"Sure," said Ben, who agreed. "But we have to share. There are not many left." + +They opened the box and looked inside. They gasped. The apples were not red and shiny anymore. They were brown and soft and had holes in them. They smelled bad. + +"Yuck!" said Ben, who was disgusted. "What happened to the apples?" + +"They are rot," said Lily, who was sad. "They are not good to eat anymore." + +They heard their mother calling them from the house. She wanted them to come down for lunch. + +"Come on, let's go," said Ben, who was disappointed. "Maybe mother has some fresh apples for us." + +"Okay," said Lily, who was hopeful. "But we have to tell her about the rot apples. Maybe she can help us." + +They closed the box and left it in the tree house. They climbed down the ladder and ran to the house. They hugged their mother and told her what they had found. + +"I'm sorry, my dears," said their mother, who was sympathetic. "The apples were too old. They need to be eaten soon or they will rot. Next time, we will get some new ones." + +She gave them each a kiss and a sandwich. She also gave them each a banana, which was yellow and firm and had no holes in it. + +"Thank you, mother," said Ben and Lily, who were grateful. "We love you." + +They ate their lunch and smiled. They still liked the tree house, but they liked their mother more. +Lily and Tom were twins. They liked to play in the park with their mom. One day, they saw a huge slide. It was taller than their mom. Lily wanted to climb the slide and slide down. Tom was scared. + +"Come on, Tom. It will be fun!" Lily said. + +"No, Lily. It is too high. I will fall and hurt myself." Tom said. + +"Don't be a baby, Tom. You are not an infant. You are a big boy." Lily said. + +Lily ran to the slide and climbed the steps. She reached the top and waved to Tom. Tom stayed on the ground and watched. He felt alone and sad. + +Suddenly, he heard a loud scream. He looked up and saw Lily sliding down very fast. She was scared too. She could not stop herself. She hit the bottom and rolled on the grass. She started to cry. + +Tom ran to Lily and hugged her. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. Are you okay?" + +Lily nodded and said, "I'm sorry, Tom. I was wrong. The slide was too huge. I should have listened to you." + +Mom came and helped them up. She said, "It's okay, kids. You are both brave and kind. Sometimes, we make mistakes and learn from them. Let's go and have some ice cream." + +Lily and Tom smiled and said, "Yes, mom. We love you." + +They held hands and walked with mom. They were happy again. +Sam and Lily were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big red car that could go very fast and make loud noises. They liked to take turns driving the car around the room and making zigzags on the floor. + +One day, it was their birthday and they were very happy. They knew they would receive some presents from their mom and dad and their friends. They hoped they would get some new toys to play with. They put on their party hats and waited for the guests to arrive. + +Soon, the doorbell rang and they ran to open it. They saw their friend Ben, who had a big smile and a big box in his hands. "Happy birthday, Sam and Lily!" he said. "I have a surprise for you!" + +He gave them the box and they opened it together. Inside, they saw another big red car, just like theirs, but with some stickers and a horn. They were very surprised and excited. "Wow, thank you, Ben!" they said. "Now we have two cars!" + +Ben smiled and said, "You're welcome! I thought you would like it. I have one too, and we can race them together. It will be fun!" + +Sam and Lily hugged Ben and thanked him again. They put their new car next to their old one and looked at them. They were both big and red and fast, but they were not the same. They had different stickers and horns and zigzags. They were both ordinary cars, but they were also special cars. They were happy to have them and to have a friend like Ben. They decided to share their cars and play with them all day. +Tom and Lily liked to play with their toy cars. They had many cars of different colors and sizes. They made noises like vroom and beep as they moved them around the floor. + +One day, there was a big storm outside. The wind was loud and the rain was heavy. Tom and Lily could not go out and play. They felt bored and sad. + +Their mom had an idea. She said, "Why don't you play a game with your cars? You can pretend they are in the storm and need to help each other. I will say a word and you have to repeat it with your car noises. For example, if I say 'help', you can say 'beep beep'." + +Tom and Lily thought this was a fun game. They were enthusiastic and nodded. They got their cars ready and waited for their mom's words. + +Their mom said, "Ready? The first word is 'fast'." Tom and Lily repeated 'fast' with their cars, making them go vroom vroom. Their mom said, "Good! The next word is 'stop'." Tom and Lily repeated 'stop' with their cars, making them screech and halt. Their mom said, "Well done! The last word is 'safe'." Tom and Lily repeated 'safe' with their cars, making them honk and hug. + +Tom and Lily smiled and clapped. They had fun playing the game with their mom and their cars. They did not mind the storm anymore. They learned some new words and repeated them with their car noises. They were happy and proud. +Mia and Leo were playing in the park. They liked to run, slide and swing. They saw a big tree with many green leaves. They wanted to climb the tree and see the sky. + +They found a branch that was low and strong. They helped each other to get on the branch. They felt happy and proud. They looked around and saw many things. They saw birds, clouds and a plane. + +"Look, Leo, a fly!" Mia said, pointing to the plane. + +"That's not a fly, Mia. That's a plane. A fly is small and has wings. A plane is big and has engines." Leo said. + +"But a plane can fly, like a fly. Maybe it is a unique fly. A fly that is different from other flies." Mia said. + +Leo laughed. He liked Mia's imagination. He wanted to see the plane closer. He leaned forward and stretched his arm. He tried to touch the plane. + +But he leaned too much. He lost his balance. He slipped from the branch. He screamed. + +"Mia, help!" Leo said. + +Mia was scared. She saw Leo falling. She grabbed his hand. She pulled him back. She rescued him. + +"Leo, are you okay?" Mia said. + +"Yes, Mia, I'm okay. Thank you for rescuing me. You are a good friend." Leo said. + +They hugged each other. They decided to get down from the tree. They learned a lesson. They should be careful when they climb. They should not try to touch things that are far away. + +They went back to play. They still liked to see the sky. But they did not want to be flies. They wanted to be children. Children who are unique and brave. Children who can rescue each other. +Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play together. But today, their mom and dad have to work. They say they will be back soon. + +Tom and Lily are sad. They want to go on a holiday with their mom and dad. They want to see the sea and the sand and the sun. They want to eat yummy ice cream and swim with the fish. + +They decide to make a holiday at home. They get a big blanket and put it on the floor. They pretend it is the sea. They get some pillows and put them on the blanket. They pretend they are boats. They get some toys and put them on the pillows. They pretend they are fish. + +They have fun playing on the blanket. They make noises like the sea and the boats and the fish. They laugh and giggle. + +Then, they hear the door open. It is their mom and dad. They are back from work. They see Tom and Lily on the floor. They smile and join them. + +"Hello, my little sailors," mom says. "Are you having a holiday?" + +"Yes, mom," Tom says. "We are on the sea. We have boats and fish." + +"That sounds wonderful," dad says. "Can we join you?" + +"Of course, dad," Lily says. "We have room for you." + +They all hug and cuddle on the blanket. They pretend they are on a holiday. They are happy. +Anna likes oranges. They are sweet and juicy. She likes to peel them and chew them. She likes to make funny faces with the orange peels. + +One day, Anna sees a big basket of oranges in the kitchen. She wants to eat one. She climbs on a chair and reaches for the basket. But the basket is too heavy. It falls down and makes a loud noise. + +"Anna, what are you doing?" Mommy asks. She comes into the kitchen and sees the mess. Oranges are everywhere. Some are broken and sticky. + +"I'm sorry, Mommy. I wanted an orange," Anna says. She feels bad. + +Mommy is not angry. She smiles and hugs Anna. "It's okay, sweetie. I know you like oranges. But you have to ask me first. And be careful with the basket.

We also thank him for his love and blessings. God is our Father in heaven, who made us and loves us. Do you want to pray with me?" + +Jill and Jack nodded. They felt very bad and sorry. They wanted to say sorry to God and the people. + +The priest took their hands and said: + +"Let us pray. Dear God, we are sorry for what we have done. We did not mean to hurt your house or your people. Please forgive us and help us to be good and careful. Thank you for saving us from the fire and for sending us your son, Jesus, who died for our sins. We love you and we praise you. Amen." + +Jill and Jack said "Amen" too. They felt a little better.

"You have ruined the dictionary. It is not yours, it is ours. We borrowed it from the library. Now we have to pay for it." + +Tom feels bad. He looks at Lily, who is still crying. He sees that he was wrong. He says sorry to Mom and Lily. + +"I am sorry, Mom. I am sorry, Lily. I was selfish. I did not want to share. I should have been fair. Can you forgive me?" + +Mom hugs Tom and Lily. She says, "I forgive you, Tom. But you have to learn to share and be fair. Sharing is caring. And caring is loving. Do you understand?" + +Tom nods. He says, "I understand, Mom. I love you and Lily. Can we share the dictionary and look at the words and pictures together?" + +Mom smiles. She says, "Yes, we can. But first, we have to fix the dictionary and return it to the library. Then we can get another one. And maybe some other books too. Books are fun and good for you. They teach you new things and make you smart." + +Tom and Lily agree. They help Mom fix the dictionary and put it in a bag. Then they go to the library and say sorry to the librarian.

It is so pretty and fun. You are a very good friend. Thank you so much." + +Tom said, "You're welcome, Lily. I'm glad you like it. I saw it in the store and I thought of you. You are a very good friend too. I hope the rain stops soon so we can play together." + +They both smiled and said goodbye. They felt happy and warm in their hearts. + +The moral of the story is: Sending a gift to a friend can make them happy and show them you care. +Jill and Tom are friends.

They had a big box of powder that they used to make shapes and pictures on the floor. They also liked to pretend that the powder was magic and could do anything they wanted. + +One day, they decided to play a game with the powder. They each took a handful of powder and threw it in the air, saying a wish. Ben wished for a powerful car that could go very fast. Lily wished for a powerful horse that could jump very high.

She was not happy. She told them to stop and to clean up the powder. She also told them to say sorry to each other and to hug. + +Ben and Lily did not want to do that. They still felt mad and hurt. They turned away from each other and crossed their arms. They did not look at each other or talk to each other. + +Their mom sighed and said, "You know, the powder is not really magic. It cannot make your wishes come true. But you have something that is more powerful than the powder. Do you know what it is?" + +Ben and Lily shook their heads. They did not know. + +Their mom smiled and said, "It is your love. Your love for each other is the most powerful thing in the world. It can make you happy and strong. It can help you solve any problem. It can unite you and make you a team. But you have to use it. You have to show it and share it. You have to say nice words and do kind things. You have to hug and kiss and smile. That is how you use your love. And that is how you make your wishes come true." + +Ben and Lily thought about what their mom said. They felt a warm feeling in their hearts. They looked at each other and felt sorry for fighting. They realized that they loved each other more than anything.

Anna wonders. + +"I think I can. I practiced a lot at home. My mom and dad said I was impressive. They clapped and smiled. What about you?" Ben says. + +"I practiced too. But I am still nervous. What if I forget or make a mistake? What if the teacher or the other kids laugh at me?" Anna worries. + +"Don't be scared, Anna. You are a good singer. And I will help you. We can sing together. We are a team. We will be impressive, I promise." Ben encourages. + +Anna smiles and nods. She feels better. She trusts Ben. He is a good friend. They hold hands and walk to the music room. They are ready to sing the song about the rainbow. They are ready to be impressive. +Anna liked to play with her toys, but she did not like to put them away. She left them on the floor, on the bed, on the table, everywhere. Her mom told her to tidy her room, but Anna said no. She wanted to play more. + +One day, Anna's mom had some news. She said they were going to visit grandma and grandpa, who lived far away. Anna was happy. She loved her grandma and grandpa. They gave her hugs and cookies and read her stories. She packed her bag with her clothes and her favorite teddy bear. + +But when she went to her room, she saw a big mess. There were toys all over the place. She could not find her other toys that she wanted to take with her. She looked under the bed, in the closet, in the drawers, but she could not find them. She felt sad and angry. She wished she had listened to her mom and tidied her room. + +She ran to her mom and asked for help. Her mom said they did not have time. They had to go to the car and drive to grandma and grandpa's house. She said Anna could only take what was in her bag. Anna felt sorry. She regretted not tidying her room. She hugged her mom and said she was sorry. Her mom hugged her back and said she loved her. + +Anna learned a lesson. She decided to be more tidy from then on. She hoped her toys would be there when she came back. She hoped her grandma and grandpa would have some toys for her to play with. She hoped they would have fun. She smiled and got in the car. She was ready to go. +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and chase the butterflies. They also liked to look at the flowers and the birds. Sometimes they saw a big dog on the other side of the gate. The dog was brown and furry and had a loud bark. + +One day, they heard the dog barking very loud. They ran to the gate and saw the dog looking at them. He seemed angry and scared. They wondered why. + +"Hello, dog," Lily said. "Why are you barking? Are you okay?" + +The dog stopped barking and looked at Lily. He wagged his tail a little. He was thirsty and hungry. He had no water or food. He wanted to be friends. + +"I'm sorry, dog," Ben said. "We can't open the gate. It's locked. But we can help you. Wait here." + +Ben ran to the house and came back with a bowl of water and some bread. He put them near the gate and pushed them under. The dog sniffed them and licked them. He drank the water and ate the bread. He felt better. + +"Thank you, kids," the dog said. "You are very kind and gentle. Can I be your friend?" + +"Yes, dog," Lily and Ben said. "You can be our friend. What is your name?" + +The dog smiled and said, "My name is Max. And you?" + +"I'm Lily and this is Ben," Lily said. "We're happy to meet you, Max." + +They talked and played and laughed. They became good friends. They liked to visit Max every day and bring him water and food. Sometimes they threw him a ball or a stick. Max liked to catch them and bring them back. He was a good dog. He was no longer angry or scared. He was happy and grateful. He had found his friends. +Anna loves to play the piano. She has a small piano in her room. It is pink and white and has many keys. She likes to make music with it. She can play some songs that her mom taught her. + +One day, Anna has a friend over. His name is Ben. He likes to play with cars and trucks. He sees Anna's piano and wants to try it. He runs to it and starts to bang on the keys. He makes a lot of noise. + +"Stop, stop!" Anna cries. "You are hurting my piano! It is delicate. You have to be gentle with it." + +Ben does not listen. He thinks it is fun to make loud sounds. He bangs harder and harder. He breaks some of the keys. Anna's piano is ruined. + +Anna is very sad. She runs to her mom and tells her what happened. Her mom hugs her and says, "I'm sorry, Anna. Ben was very naughty. He should not have done that. He should say sorry to you and help you get a new piano." + +Anna nods. She hopes Ben will learn to be nice. She hopes she will get a new piano soon. She misses her music. +Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big lake with ice on top. They wanted to slide on the ice and have fun. + +"Can we go on the ice, Lily?" Tom asked. + +"I don't know, Tom. It looks thin and cracked. Maybe it is not safe," Lily said. + +But Tom did not listen. He ran to the ice and jumped on it. He slid for a while, but then he heard a loud crack. The ice broke and Tom fell into the cold water. + +"Help, help!" Tom cried. "I'm wet and cold and scared!" + +Lily was troubled. She wanted to help Tom, but she did not know how. She looked around and saw a big stick. She ran to the stick and picked it up. She threw it to Tom and said, "Grab the stick, Tom! I will pull you out!" + +Tom grabbed the stick and Lily pulled him out of the water. He was shivering and dripping. Lily hugged him and said, "You are safe now, Tom. But you were very silly. You should not go on the ice when it can change and break. You could have been hurt or worse." + +Tom nodded and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. You are right. I was very silly. Thank you for saving me. You are a good friend." + +Lily smiled and said, "You are welcome, Tom. You are a good friend too. But next time, let's play somewhere else, okay?" + +Tom agreed and they went back to their homes. They learned a lesson that day. They learned that ice can change and be dangerous, and that they should listen to each other and be careful. +Lila and Ben were friends who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big squash in the garden. It was orange and round and had a long stem. + +"Wow, look at that squash!" Lila said. "It is so big and pretty!" + +"Can we pick it?" Ben asked. "I want to touch it and feel it." + +Lila nodded. "Yes, let's pick it. Maybe we can make soup with it later." + +They ran to the squash and tried to pull it out of the ground. But it was too heavy and stuck. They pulled and pulled, but the squash did not move. + +"Help, help!" Lila and Ben shouted. "We can't get the squash out!" + +Their mom heard them and came to see what was wrong. She saw them struggling with the squash and smiled. + +"What are you doing, my little ones?" she asked. "Are you trying to gain the squash?" + +"Yes, mom, we are!" Lila and Ben said. "But it is too hard. Can you help us?" + +"Of course, I can help you," mom said. "But first, let's put on our coats and hats. It is very cold outside. The air is icy and the wind is strong. We don't want to get sick, do we?" + +Lila and Ben agreed. They ran inside and put on their warm clothes. Then they came back with mom and helped her cut the stem of the squash with a big knife. They lifted the squash together and carried it to the kitchen. + +"Yay, we did it!" Lila and Ben cheered. "We gained the squash!" + +Mom hugged them and praised them. "You did a great job, my little ones. You worked hard and helped each other. I am so proud of you. Now, let's make some delicious squash soup and enjoy it together." +Lily likes to design things. She has many crayons and papers. She draws houses and flowers and animals. She likes to make them look nice and colorful. + +One day, Lily wants to design something new. She thinks of the sun. The sun is very big and bright. It is hot and light. Lily likes the sun. She wants to make a sun with her crayons. + +She takes a yellow crayon and a big paper. She draws a big circle. Then she draws many lines around the circle. They are the sun's rays. She colors the circle and the lines with the yellow crayon. She makes the sun very shiny. + +She shows her sun to her mom. Her mom smiles and hugs her. She says, "What a beautiful sun, Lily! You are a great designer!" Lily feels happy and proud. She hangs her sun on the wall. She likes to look at it and think of the real sun. +Tom and Anna are twins. They like to play with their toys and books. But sometimes they fight over who gets what. One day, they see their mom make coffee in the kitchen. They think it smells good and want to try some. + +"Mom, can we have some coffee?" Tom asks. + +"No, coffee is for grown-ups. It is too hot and bitter for you. You can have some juice or milk instead." Mom says. + +"But I want coffee!" Anna says. She is selfish and does not listen to Mom. She runs to the kitchen and grabs the coffee pot. She tries to pour some coffee into a cup. + +"Anna, stop! That is dangerous!" Mom shouts. She tries to take the coffee pot from Anna. But Anna holds on tight and spills some coffee on the floor. It is very hot and makes a mess. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Anna cries. She drops the coffee pot and points to her hand. She has burned herself with the coffee. Mom picks her up and puts some cold water on her hand. She is angry and worried. + +"Anna, you are very naughty. You did not listen to Mom. You could have hurt yourself or someone else. You are also selfish. You did not think about Tom or me. You only thought about yourself. You need to say sorry and learn to share." Mom says. + +"I'm sorry, Mom. I'm sorry, Tom. I was selfish. I don't want coffee anymore. I want juice or milk." Anna says. She is sad and sorry. She hugs Mom and Tom. + +"It's okay, Anna. I forgive you. But you have to be careful and kind. Coffee is not for kids. Juice or milk is better for you. And sharing is good. We can play with our toys and books together." Tom says. He is nice and forgiving. He hugs Anna and Mom. + +Mom smiles and kisses them both. She is glad they are okay. She gives them some juice or milk and some cookies. They drink and eat and say thank you. Then they go to their room and play with their toys and books. They do not fight anymore. They are happy and good. +Sam and Mia were playing near the river. They liked to throw stones and watch them splash. But the river was filthy. It had a lot of dirt and trash in it. Sam and Mia wished the river was clean and clear. + +"Look, Mia, a duck!" Sam said, pointing to a bird in the water. "It has a baby duck with it!" + +Mia smiled and ran to the edge of the river. She wanted to see the ducks better. But she slipped on a wet rock and fell into the river. She screamed and cried. The water was cold and dirty. She was scared. + +"Help, Sam, help!" Mia shouted. + +Sam was scared too, but he wanted to help his sister. He looked around and saw a big stick. He ran to get it and carried it to the river. He reached out the stick to Mia and said, "Grab it, Mia, grab it!" + +Mia grabbed the stick and Sam pulled her out of the river. She was wet and filthy. She hugged Sam and thanked him. Sam hugged her back and said, "You're welcome, Mia. I'm glad you're okay." + +They ran back to their house and told their mom what happened. Their mom was worried and angry, but also relieved. She gave them a warm bath and a hug. She told them to never play near the river again. She said the river was dangerous and filthy. She said they were lucky and brave. + +Sam and Mia nodded and said they were sorry. They learned their lesson. They decided to play in the yard instead. They still liked to watch the ducks, but from a safe distance. They hoped the river would be clean and clear someday. +Lila and Tom were friends. They liked to play with dolls and cars. One day, they found a big box in the park. They wanted to see what was inside. + +"Let's open it!" Lila said. + +"OK!" Tom said. + +They lifted the lid and saw a lot of shiny things. There were rings and necklaces and bracelets. They were very pretty. + +"Wow!" Lila said. "These are for us!" + +"No, they are not!" Tom said. "They belong to someone else!" + +"Who cares?" Lila said. "I want them!" + +She grabbed a necklace and put it around her neck. Tom tried to stop her. + +"Give it back!" Tom said. "That's not nice!" + +"Go away!" Lila said. "You are mean!" + +She pushed Tom and he fell down. He hurt his knee and started to cry. + +Lila ran away with the necklace. She was happy. She thought she looked like a princess. + +But then, a man came out of a car. He was angry. He saw Lila with the necklace. He knew it was his. + +"Hey, you!" he shouted. "That's mine!" + +He ran after Lila and caught her. He took the necklace from her and slapped her face. He called her a thief. + +Lila was scared and sad. She wished she had not taken the necklace. She wished she had listened to Tom. She wanted to say sorry to him. + +But Tom was gone. He went home with his mom. He was mad at Lila. He did not want to be her friend anymore. + +Lila was alone. She had no necklace and no friend. She had no love. She had only set herself up for trouble. +Tom and Lily are twins. They like to eat waffles for breakfast. Mom makes waffles with honey and butter. They smell good and taste sweet. + +One morning, Tom and Lily are very hungry. They run to the kitchen and see a big plate of waffles on the table. They each grab a waffle and sit down. + +"Yum, yum, yum!" Tom says. He bites his waffle and smiles. + +"Yum, yum, yum!" Lily says. She bites her waffle and frowns. + +"Tom, your waffle is heavy!" Lily says. She holds her waffle with both hands. It is too big and thick for her. + +"Ha, ha, ha!" Tom laughs. He holds his waffle with one hand. It is small and thin for him. + +"Mom, why is Lily's waffle heavy and mine is not?" Tom asks. + +Mom looks at the plate and sees the problem. She mixed up the waffles. She gave Tom the waffle for Lily and Lily the waffle for Tom. + +"Oops, I'm sorry, Tom and Lily. I made a mistake. Here, switch your waffles. Lily, you have the small and thin waffle. Tom, you have the big and thick waffle. They are both yummy. Enjoy!" Mom says. + +Tom and Lily switch their waffles and thank Mom. They bite their waffles and smile. + +"Yum, yum, yum!" Tom and Lily say. They eat their waffles and are happy. +Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big tree with red fruit. The fruit looks yummy. + +"Let's pick some fruit and eat them," Tom says. + +"No, we can't," Anna says. "The fruit is not ours. It belongs to someone else. We have to ask first." + +"But I'm hungry," Tom says. "And the fruit is so red and juicy. Just one fruit won't hurt." + +Tom reaches for a fruit. Anna tries to stop him. She pulls his arm. "Resist, Tom, resist! Don't be greedy. Be smart. We have to be polite and honest." + +Tom does not listen. He breaks a fruit from the tree. He bites it. But the fruit is not yummy. It is sour and bitter. Tom makes a face. He spits out the fruit. He feels sick. + +"Yuck! This fruit is bad," Tom says. + +"I told you so," Anna says. "You should have listened to me. You should have resisted. Now you have a bad taste in your mouth and a bad feeling in your heart. You did something wrong." + +Tom is sorry. He says sorry to Anna. He says sorry to the owner of the tree. He learns his lesson. He learns to resist temptation. He learns to be smart and good. He and Anna are still friends. They play in the park. They share their own fruit. They are happy. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big truck with a loud horn. The truck is red and shiny. It has a picture of a fire on the side. + +"Wow, look at the truck!" Anna says. "It is a fire truck. It helps people when there is a fire." + +"Can we go and see it?" Ben asks. "Maybe the firemen will let us touch it." + +Anna and Ben run to the truck. They see two firemen in yellow suits. They have helmets and hoses. They are cheerful. They smile at Anna and Ben. + +"Hello, kids. Do you like our truck?" one fireman says. + +"Yes, we do. It is very cool. Can we see inside?" Anna says. + +"Sure, you can. Come on, we will show you." the other fireman says. + +He opens the door of the truck. He lifts Anna and Ben inside. They see many buttons and levers. They see a radio and a siren. They see a chest with tools and bandages. + +"This is where we keep our things. We use them to fight fires and help people." the fireman says. + +He gives Anna and Ben a sticker with a fire truck on it. They stick it on their shirts. They are happy. + +"Thank you, fireman. You are very nice." Ben says. + +"You are welcome, kids. You are very brave. Do you want to hear the horn?" the fireman says. + +"Yes, please!" Anna and Ben say. + +The fireman presses a button. The horn makes a loud noise. Anna and Ben laugh. They cover their ears. + +The fireman puts them down. He waves at them. + +"Bye, kids. Have fun. Be safe." he says. + +"Bye, fireman. Thank you. You are awesome." Anna and Ben say. + +They wave back. They run to their moms. They tell them about the fire truck. They show them their stickers. They are cheerful. They love the fire truck. +Sara and Ben wanted to go to the zoo. They asked their mom to take them. Mom said yes, but they had to be good and listen to her. + +They got in the car and drove to the zoo. Sara and Ben were very excited. They saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and giraffes. They wanted to see more and more. + +Mom said they had to go slow and stay with her. She said the zoo was big and they could get lost. Sara and Ben did not listen. They ran ahead and looked for more animals. + +Mom called them, but they did not hear. They saw a big sign that said "Penguins". They loved penguins. They ran to the penguin pool. + +But when they got there, they did not see mom. They looked around and saw many people, but not mom. They felt scared and sad. They did not know what to do. + +They saw a man in a blue shirt. He had a badge that said "Zoo Keeper". They went to him and said, "Please, can you help us? We can't find our mom." + +The zoo keeper was kind and smiled. He said, "Don't worry, I will help you. What is your mom's name and what does she look like?" + +Sara and Ben told him their mom's name and what she wore. The zoo keeper said, "OK, let's go to the office and call her. She must be looking for you too." + +They followed the zoo keeper to the office. He gave them a phone and dialed their mom's number. Mom answered and sounded happy and relieved. She said, "Sara, Ben, where are you? I was so worried. Are you OK?" + +Sara and Ben said, "We are OK, mom. We are sorry. We ran away from you and got lost. We are with a zoo keeper. He helped us find you." + +Mom said, "Thank you, zoo keeper. You are very nice. I will come and get them right away." + +Sara and Ben said, "Thank you, zoo keeper. You are very nice too." + +The zoo keeper said, "You are welcome, Sara and Ben. I'm glad you are safe. Next time, remember to go slow and stay with your mom. The zoo is fun, but it can be dangerous too." + +Sara and Ben said, "We will, zoo keeper. We learned our lesson. We love you, mom." + +Mom came and hugged them. She said, "I love you too, Sara and Ben. I'm happy you are OK. Let's go home and have some ice cream." + +They said goodbye to the zoo keeper and went home. They had ice cream and talked about the animals. They said they liked the zoo, but they liked their mom more. They said they would never run away from her again. They said they were sorry and they loved her. + +Mom said, "I forgive you and I love you too. You are my good kids. I'm proud of you." + +The end. +Tim was lonely. He had no friends to play with. He only had his toys and his books. He liked his toys and his books, but he wanted someone to talk to and share with. + +One day, he heard a loud noise outside. He ran to the window and saw a big vehicle. It was red and shiny and had a ladder and a hose. It was a fire truck. Tim loved fire trucks. He wondered who was in the fire truck and where they were going. + +He saw a man get out of the fire truck. He had a yellow hat and a black coat. He was a fireman. He knocked on the door of the house next to Tim's. He had a big smile and a friendly voice. He said, "Hello, I'm Frank. I'm here to check your smoke alarm. Can I come in?" + +The lady who lived in the house next to Tim's opened the door. She said, "Sure, come in. Thank you for coming." She looked happy to see the fireman. She invited him inside. + +Tim felt a spark in his heart. He wanted to meet the fireman too. He wanted to see the fire truck up close. He wanted to ask the fireman questions and hear his stories. He decided to be brave and go outside. He put on his shoes and his coat and ran to the fire truck. He said, "Hello, I'm Tim. I live here. Can I see your fire truck?" + +The fireman heard Tim and came out of the house. He said, "Hello, Tim. I'm Frank. I'm glad you like my fire truck. Do you want to see inside?" He lifted Tim up and put him in the driver's seat. He showed him the buttons and the lights and the horn. He let Tim wear his hat and hold his hose. He told him about his job and his adventures. He said, "You're a smart and curious boy, Tim. You can be anything you want when you grow up. Maybe even a fireman." + +Tim felt a warm glow in his chest. He felt happy and excited. He felt like he had made a new friend. He said, "Thank you, Frank. You're a nice and brave fireman. You make people safe and happy. Maybe I can be a fireman too." + +They laughed and talked and played until it was time for Frank to go. He said, "Goodbye, Tim. It was nice to meet you. Maybe I'll see you again soon." He gave Tim a high-five and a hug. He got back in his fire truck and drove away. He waved to Tim and honked his horn. + +Tim waved back and smiled. He felt a new feeling in his heart. He felt less lonely. He felt more hopeful. He thought, "Maybe I'll see Frank again. Maybe I'll make more friends. Maybe I'll have more fun." He ran back to his house and told his mom about his day. He said, "Mom, I met a fireman. He was cool. He let me see his fire truck. He was my friend." His mom hugged him and said, "I'm proud of you, Tim. You're a brave and friendly boy. You have a big heart. I love you." Tim hugged her back and said, "I love you too, Mom." He felt happy and loved. He felt like he had a good day. +Sara and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to look at the flowers and smell them. Sara saw a flower that was not open yet. It was pink and round. + +"What is this?" Sara asked Tom, pointing at the flower. + +"That is a bud," Tom said. "It is a flower that is not ready yet. It will bloom soon." + +"What does bloom mean?" Sara asked. + +"Bloom means to open and show your colors," Tom said. "Like this one." He showed Sara a yellow flower that was open and bright. + +"Wow, it is so pretty!" Sara said. "I want to see the pink one bloom too. When will it bloom?" + +"I don't know," Tom said. "Maybe tomorrow, maybe later. We have to wait and see." + +"Okay," Sara said. "Let's come back tomorrow and check. Maybe we will see a surprise." + +They smiled and ran to play with their ball. They hoped the pink flower would bloom soon and make the garden more bright. They liked to learn new things and ask questions. They were curious and happy. +Ben and Lily are twins. They like to play with their toys and books. One day, they find a big machine in their dad's office. It is a printer. It can print many things on paper. + +"Let's print some pictures!" Ben says. He pushes a button. The printer makes a loud noise. It prints a picture of a cat. + +"Wow, that's fun!" Lily says. She pushes another button. The printer makes another noise. It prints a picture of a dog. + +They print more and more pictures. They make a big mess on the floor. The printer is very noisy. It uses a lot of paper and ink. + +Their mom hears the noise. She comes to the office. She sees the mess. She is angry. + +"What are you doing?" she asks. "This is not a toy. This is a printer. It is for dad's work. He needs it to print important things, like medicine labels. You wasted a lot of paper and ink. You could have broken the printer. That is bad." + +Ben and Lily feel sorry. They did not know. They say sorry to their mom. They help her clean up the mess. They promise not to touch the printer again. + +Mom hugs them. She is not angry anymore. She says, "I know you were curious. But you have to ask before you use something that is not yours. And you have to be careful with things that are not toys. They can be dangerous or expensive. You have to respect other people's things. That is good." + +Ben and Lily nod. They understand. They learn a lesson. They go back to their toys and books. They are quiet and happy. +Ben and Mia are playing with their dog, Spot. They like to brush his fur and tickle his ears. But today, they see something small and black on Spot's back. It is a flea. + +"Look, Mia, a flea!" Ben says. "It is very tiny and fast. It makes Spot itchy." + +"Can we catch it, Ben?" Mia asks. "Maybe we can put it in a jar and measure it." + +Ben nods. He gets a jar and a ruler from the kitchen. He and Mia try to catch the flea, but it is not easy. The flea jumps from Spot to the floor, to the sofa, to the table. Ben and Mia run after it, but they are too slow. + +"Stop, flea, stop!" Ben shouts. "We just want to measure you!" + +The flea does not stop. It jumps to the window and sees a big tree outside. It thinks the tree has more fur and more fleas to play with. It jumps out of the window and into the tree. + +Ben and Mia see the flea leave. They are sad. They wanted to measure the flea and see how small it was. They go back to Spot and hug him. + +"Sorry, Spot," Mia says. "We did not catch the flea. But we still love you." + +Spot wags his tail. He is happy. He does not mind the flea. He likes Ben and Mia more. +Anna and Ben are young friends who like to play with cards. They have a game where they turn the cards face down and try to find two cards that are the same. They call this game match. + +One day, they are playing match in Anna's room. Anna is very good at the game and finds many matches. Ben is not so good and gets frustrated. He thinks Anna is cheating. He decides to peek at the cards when Anna is not looking. + +"Ben, it's your turn," Anna says. "Can you find a match?" + +Ben pretends to look at the cards, but he already knows where a match is. He reveals two cards that have a star on them. "I found a match!" he says, smiling. + +Anna is surprised. She remembers that she saw those cards before, and they were not next to each other. She thinks Ben moved them when she was not looking. She feels angry and sad. She does not want to play with Ben anymore. + +"Ben, you cheated!" she says. "You moved the cards! That's not fair!" + +Ben feels ashamed. He knows he did something wrong. He wanted to win, but he lost Anna's trust. He wishes he did not cheat. + +"I'm sorry, Anna," he says. "You are right. I cheated. I was jealous of you. Can you forgive me?" + +Anna looks at Ben. She sees that he is sorry. She remembers that he is her friend. She decides to give him another chance. + +"It's okay, Ben," she says. "I forgive you. But don't cheat again. Cheating is bad. Playing fair is good. Do you understand?" + +Ben nods. He understands. He thanks Anna for forgiving him. He promises to play fair from now on. They hug and make up. They continue to play match, but this time, they have more fun and respect. + +The moral of the story is: Cheating is wrong and hurts your friends. Playing fair is right and builds your trust. +Ben and Lily liked to play in the park. They had a big box of toys. They had cars, dolls, balls, and books. They liked to share their toys with each other and with their friends. + +One day, they saw a new boy in the park. He had a toy crocodile. It was green and scaly and had sharp teeth. Ben and Lily wanted to see the crocodile. They walked over to the boy and said hello. + +"Hello, what is your name?" Ben asked. + +"Sam," the boy said. + +"Can we see your crocodile?" Lily asked. + +"No, it is mine. Go away," Sam said. He was grumpy. He did not want to share his crocodile. + +Ben and Lily felt sad. They did not like Sam. They went back to their box of toys. They played with their cars and dolls and balls and books. They had fun. + +Sam watched them. He felt lonely. He did not have any friends. He only had his crocodile. He wished he had someone to play with. + +He picked up his crocodile and walked over to Ben and Lily. He said sorry. + +"Sorry, I was grumpy. Can I play with you?" Sam asked. + +Ben and Lily smiled. They said yes. + +"Can we see your crocodile?" Ben asked. + +"Yes, you can. It is not real. It is a toy. You can set it on the ground and make it walk and roar," Sam said. + +Ben and Lily were happy. They set the crocodile on the ground and made it walk and roar. They pretended it was a real crocodile. They had fun. + +Sam was happy too. He had made new friends. He shared his crocodile with them. He was not grumpy anymore. +Lily and Sam liked to play with their wagon. They put their toys and snacks in the wagon and pulled it to the park. The park had a big slide, a swing, and a sandbox. Lily and Sam had fun going down the slide and swinging high in the air. They also made a big castle in the sandbox with their shovels and buckets. + +"Look at our castle!" Lily said. "It is brilliant!" + +"Yes, it is!" Sam agreed. "But I am hungry. Let's have some snacks." + +They left their wagon next to the sandbox and went to get their snacks.
