The puppy knew it was a mistake to chew the ball the last time, so it moved away and tried to find another stick. Unfortunately, the puppy stepped on the ball and it broke into pieces.

She wants to have fun. + +"Not yet, Lily. Wait for Ben and his mom. They are still at the swings," Lily's mom says. + +Lily waits, but she is not happy. She looks at the hill. It looks so fun. She thinks Ben is too slow. She decides to go without him. + +She runs to her scooter. She gets on it. She pushes with her feet. She goes faster and faster. She feels the wind in her hair. She smiles. + +"Look at me, Mom!" she shouts. + +But Lily's mom is not looking. She is talking to Ben's mom. They are worried. They see Lily going down the hill. The hill is too steep. The scooter is too fast. Lily does not know how to stop. + +"Lily, stop!" Lily's mom yells. + +But Lily does not hear her. She is too far away. She is scared. She sees a big rock on the path. She tries to avoid it. She turns the scooter. She loses her balance. She falls off the scooter. She hurts her knee. She cries. + +Ben and his mom run to her. They help her up. They hug her. They say sorry. + +"It's okay, Lily. I'm sorry I was slow. Are you okay?" Ben asks. + +Lily nods. She is still crying. She says sorry too. + +"I'm sorry, Ben. I was impatient. I should have waited for you. Are you mad at me?" Lily asks. + +Ben shakes his head. He is not mad. He is a good friend. + +"No, Lily. I'm not mad. I'm glad you are okay. Do you want to play with me?" Ben asks. + +Lily smiles. She wipes her tears. She says yes. + +They go back to their moms. They say sorry to them too. They hug them. They say thank you. + +They play together. They share their scooters. They go down the hill. But this time, they go slowly. They hold hands. They are careful. They are happy. +Ben and Lily liked to play with their toy ship. They made it sail on the carpet, on the table, and on the bed. Sometimes they pretended it was a pirate ship, and sometimes they pretended it was a space ship. + +One day, they decided to play with their ship in the bathtub. They filled it with water and bubbles, and put their ship in. They made it go up and down, and splash and spin. They had a lot of fun. + +But then, Lily saw something on the ship. It was a tiny bug. It was black and had six legs. It was crawling on the ship's deck. Lily did not like bugs. She screamed and pointed at it. + +"Ben, Ben, look! A bug! A bug on our ship!" + +Ben looked and saw the bug too. He did not like bugs either. He was scared and wanted to get rid of it. + +"Quick, quick, Lily! Take the ship out of the water! We have to get the bug off!" + +They grabbed the ship and lifted it out of the water. But the bug did not want to leave. It held on to the ship with its legs. It did not like water either. It wanted to find a dry place to settle. + +Ben and Lily shook the ship and tried to make the bug fall off. But the bug was strong and stubborn. It stayed on the ship. + +"Go away, bug! Go away! This is our ship, not yours! You are not a regular ship bug! You are a bad bug!" + +They shouted at the bug, but the bug did not listen. It did not understand them. It only wanted to settle on the ship. + +Ben and Lily did not know what to do. They did not want to play with their ship anymore. They did not want to touch the bug. They were sad and angry. + +They put the ship on the floor and ran to their mom. They told her about the bug on their ship. They asked her to help them. + +Mom came and saw the bug on the ship. She smiled and picked it up. She looked at it closely and said: + +"Don't worry, Ben and Lily. This is not a bad bug. This is a ladybug. It is a friendly bug. It will not hurt you or your ship. It just likes to settle on things that are red, like your ship. It thinks your ship is a flower. It is a regular ladybug." + +She showed them the bug's spots and wings. She told them that ladybugs were good for the garden and the plants. She asked them if they wanted to keep the bug as a pet, or let it go outside. + +Ben and Lily looked at the bug again. They saw that it was not scary or mean. It was just a little bug that liked red things. They felt sorry for the bug. They decided to let it go outside. + +They took the bug and the ship to the backyard. They found a red flower and put the bug on it. The bug was happy and settled on the flower. It thanked them with a tiny beep. + +Ben and Lily waved goodbye to the bug. They felt happy too. They took their ship back to the bathtub. They played with it again. They did not mind if a regular ladybug settled on their ship. They liked ladybugs. They were friendly bugs. +Ben and Lily were friends who liked to play soccer. They wanted to win a trophy for their team. They practiced a lot and learned how to kick, pass and score. + +One day, they had a big game against another team. Ben and Lily were very excited, but also a little worried. What if they did not play well? What if the other team was too strong? + +The game started and Ben and Lily tried their best. They ran, they chased, they cheered. But the other team was very good too. They scored two goals and Ben and Lily's team scored none. + +At halftime, Ben and Lily felt sad. They wanted to win the trophy, but it seemed too hard. They looked at the trophy on the table. It was shiny and big and had a soccer ball on top. It looked very heavy. + +"Maybe we can still win," Ben said to Lily. "We just need to try harder and have fun." + +Lily nodded. She liked Ben's idea. She did not want to give up. She wanted to make their team happy. + +They went back to the field and played with more energy and joy. They passed the ball to each other, they dodged the other players, they found openings. They scored one goal, then another, then another. The other team was surprised and tried to catch up, but Ben and Lily's team was too fast and smart. + +The whistle blew and the game was over. Ben and Lily's team had won by one goal. They were so happy, they jumped and hugged and shouted. They had won the trophy! + +They ran to the table and lifted the trophy together. It was very heavy, but they did not care. They felt proud and strong. They had worked hard and played well. They had won the trophy as a team. + +They smiled at each other and said, "We did it!" +Tim was a pupil at the big school. He liked to learn new things and play with his friends. But he did not like the mean teacher, Mrs. Fox. She always shouted at him and gave him hard work. She said he was filthy and lazy. + +One day, Tim had a bad dream. He dreamed that Mrs. Fox turned into a big, scary fox. She chased him around the school and tried to bite him. He ran and ran, but she was faster. He cried and screamed for help, but no one heard him. + +"Tim, wake up!" It was his mom. She shook him gently and hugged him. "It's okay, sweetie. It was just a dream. You're safe at home." + +Tim opened his eyes and saw his mom's kind face. He felt better and snuggled with her. "Mom, I don't want to go to school. I don't like Mrs. Fox. She's mean and scary." + +"Shh, it's okay. Mrs. Fox is not a real fox. She's just a teacher. Maybe she's not very nice, but she can't hurt you. You're a smart and brave pupil, Tim. You can do your work and make her proud. And you have your friends to play with. Don't let a bad dream stop you from going to school." + +Tim nodded and smiled. He felt more confident and calm. He gave his mom a kiss and got ready for school. He hoped that Mrs. Fox would be nicer today. And he hoped that he would have a good dream tonight. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play and share. One day, they find a big jar of cookies in the kitchen. They want to eat some, but they do not know how many. + +"Let's weigh the cookies," says Ben. He has a toy scale. He puts some cookies on one side and some blocks on the other side. He tries to make them equal. + +Lily watches him. She thinks he is smart. She also thinks he is modest. He does not take many cookies for himself. He gives her some too. + +"Thank you, Ben," says Lily. "You are a good friend. How many cookies do we have?" + +Ben counts the cookies. He uses his fingers.

They share and enjoy. They do not make a mess. They are good children. +Sara and Ben love to watch movies with their mom and dad. They always make popcorn in the big pot on the stove.

They wanted to watch a movie, but they had no popcorn. Mom said they could go to the store and buy some more. Sara and Ben put on their coats and shoes and followed mom to the car. + +At the store, they saw many things. They saw fruits and vegetables, bread and cheese, candy and cookies.

He said they sold it all to a big party. + +Sara and Ben were very sad. They did not want to watch a movie without popcorn. They wanted to go home. Mom said they could try another store. She said maybe they had popcorn there. Sara and Ben nodded. They hoped they would find popcorn. + +They drove to another store. They ran inside and looked for popcorn.

They like to play games with each other. One day, they decide to play a game of repeat. Tom says a word and Anna has to repeat it. Then Anna says a word and Tom has to repeat it. + +Tom starts the game. He says, "Cat." Anna repeats, "Cat." Anna says, "Dog." Tom repeats, "Dog." They take turns saying words like ball, car, cake, and bird. They have fun repeating each other. + +But then Tom says a word that Anna does not know. He says, "Reliable." Anna tries to repeat it, but she cannot. She says, "Ree...ree...ree..." She looks at Tom and asks, "What is reliable?" + +Tom smiles and says, "Reliable means you can trust someone. Like Mom and Dad. They are reliable. They always take care of us and love us." Anna nods and says, "Oh, I see. Reliable. Mom and Dad are reliable." + +They continue the game, but now they say words that mean something good. They say words like happy, kind, brave, and smart. They repeat each other and smile. + +Soon, it is time for bed. Mom and Dad come to tuck them in. They kiss them and say, "Good night, Tom and Anna. We love you. You are our reliable twins."

Spicy means it makes your mouth hot and your tongue tingle. Do you like spicy food?" + +Lily and Ben look at each other. They have never tried spicy food. They are curious. They want to know how it tastes. + +They go to the kitchen and ask Mom for a pepper. Mom smiles and gives them a small piece each. She says: "Be careful, it is very spicy.

It has sweet food. Sweet food is yummy. Can we have some, Mom?" + +Mom laughs and says: "Yes, you can have some, but not too much. Too much sweet food is not good for you. You need to eat healthy food too, like fruits and vegetables. They are not spicy, but they are good for you. They make you strong and smart." + +Lily and Ben nod and say: "OK, Mom. We will eat healthy food too. But can we read the sweet book first?" + +Mom says: "Yes, you can read the sweet book first. But then you have to brush your teeth. Teeth need to be clean and shiny.

But you can turn them into something else. Do you know what you can do with radishes?" + +Anna shook her head. She did not know. + +"You can turn them into animals!" her mom said.

And you can cut another radish and make wings and a beak. See, it's a bird." + +Anna watched her mom make radish animals. She thought they were cute and funny. She wanted to try too.

She took another radish and cut it in half. She made wings and a beak. She made a duck. + +"Look, mom!" she said. "I made radish animals too. They are pretty and fun.

He learned that it was better to share and lend than to be selfish and hug. He decided to say sorry to Mia and ask her to play with him. + +"Hi, Mia, I'm sorry I was mean to you. Can I play with you and Lily?" Tom asked. + +Mia looked at Tom. She was still a little mad, but she was also kind. She remembered that Tom was her best friend. + +"Okay, Tom, you can play with us.

They gave him some of their toys and a part of their blanket. They became friends. + +Tom was happy. He thanked Lily and Ben for being nice to him. He said he would listen to them and help them with the cabin. He said he would also try to call his mom and dad and tell them he was sorry. He hoped they would listen to him and love him. + +Lily and Ben smiled. They hugged Tom and Spot. They were happy too. They had a new friend and a new adventure. They learned that sometimes, listening can make a big difference. +Lily loved to watch her favorite show on the screen. She liked the songs and the colors and the funny animals. Sometimes she sang along or danced with them. She always watched the show with her mom or dad, who sat next to her on the couch and gave her hugs and snacks. + +One day, Lily was very excited because it was her birthday. She knew she would get a cake and a present and some balloons. She wondered what her present would be. Maybe a new toy or a book or a dress. She hoped it would be something she liked. + +She ran to the living room, where the screen was, and saw a big box wrapped in shiny paper. She smiled and clapped her hands. She looked at her mom, who was holding a camera. "Can I open it, mom?" she asked. + +"Of course, sweetie. It's your birthday. Go ahead and open it. But first, can you do something for me?" her mom said. + +"What, mom?" Lily said. + +"Can you remember the show you watched yesterday? The one with the yellow bird and the blue cat?" her mom said. + +Lily nodded. She remembered the show. It was very funny and cute. She liked the yellow bird and the blue cat. They were friends and had adventures. "Yes, mom. I remember the show. Why?" she said. + +"Because your present is related to the show. Can you guess what it is?" her mom said. + +Lily thought hard. She looked at the box. It was big and square. Maybe it was a puzzle or a game or a blanket. She shook her head. She couldn't guess. "No, mom. I don't know. Can I open it now?" she said. + +"Sure, sweetie. Go ahead and open it. But be careful. It's fragile." her mom said. + +Lily tore the paper and opened the box. She gasped. Inside the box was a yellow bird and a blue cat. But they were not toys or pictures. They were real. They were alive. They looked at her with big eyes and made noises. They were the same as the ones on the screen. + +Lily couldn't believe it. She was so happy and surprised. She reached out her hand and touched them gently. They felt soft and warm. They licked her fingers and nuzzled her palm. They were friendly and sweet. They were her new pets. + +"Mom, mom, look! It's the yellow bird and the blue cat from the show! They're real! They're mine! How did you get them, mom?" she said. + +Her mom smiled and hugged her. "Happy birthday, Lily. I'm glad you like them. They're very special. They're from a place far away, where they make shows like the one you watch. They were looking for a new home, and I thought you would love them. They're very smart and can learn new things. They can even talk, if you teach them. Do you want to hear them talk?" she said. + +Lily nodded eagerly. She wanted to hear them talk. She wanted to talk to them. She wanted to play with them and sing with them and dance with them. She wanted to be their friend. She looked at them and said, "Hello, yellow bird. Hello, blue cat. I'm Lily. I'm your new friend. What are your names?" + +The yellow bird and the blue cat looked at her and said, "Hello, Lily. We're your new friends. Our names are Sunny and Sky. We're happy to meet you. Thank you for giving us a home. We love you." + +Lily laughed and hugged them. She felt warm and fuzzy inside. She had the best birthday ever. She had the best present ever. She had the best friends ever. She looked at her mom and said, "Thank you, mom. You're the best mom ever. I love you." + +Her mom kissed her and said, "You're welcome, sweetie. I love you too. Now, how about some cake? I made it for you. It's delicious. It has chocolate and strawberries and cream. Do you want some?" + +Lily nodded. She loved cake. She loved chocolate and strawberries and cream. She loved her mom. She loved her pets. She loved her life. She said, "Yes, mom. I want some cake. Can Sunny and Sky have some too?" + +Her mom nodded. She said, "Of course, they can. They're part of the family now. Come on, let's go to the kitchen. We have candles and balloons and music too. It's a party. Are you ready?" + +Lily nodded. She was ready. She was happy. She was lucky. She took her mom's hand and followed her to the kitchen. She took Sunny +Anna was sad. She missed her grandma, who went to heaven. She cried in her bed at night and hugged her teddy bear. + +One night, she saw a bright light in her room. She opened her eyes and saw a beautiful lady with wings and a white dress. She smiled at Anna and said, "Hello, little one. I am an angel. I came to comfort you." + +Anna was scared at first, but the angel was kind and gentle. She sat on Anna's bed and stroked her hair. She said, "Your grandma loves you very much. She is happy in heaven, and she watches over you every day. She sent me to tell you that you are not alone, and that you are brave and strong." + +Anna felt warm and calm. She asked the angel, "Can you stay with me for a while? I don't want to be sad anymore." + +The angel nodded and said, "Of course, I can. I will stay with you until you fall asleep. And I will come back whenever you need me. You are a special child, and God loves you very much." + +Anna smiled and said, "Thank you, angel. You are very nice. I love you, too." + +She snuggled with her teddy bear and closed her eyes. The angel kissed her forehead and whispered, "Good night, sweet Anna. Sleep well and dream of happy things." + +Anna felt peaceful and safe. She slept soundly and dreamed of her grandma and the angel. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big dollhouse with many rooms and people. They liked to make stories with the dollhouse and pretend they were the people. + +One day, their mom said they had to go to the store with her. She said they could not bring the dollhouse, because it was too big and heavy. Lily and Ben were sad, but they did what their mom said. They put the dollhouse on the table and went to the car. + +While they were gone, a bad man came into their house. He saw the dollhouse on the table and thought it was very nice. He wanted to take it and sell it for money. He did not value the dollhouse like Lily and Ben did. He did not care that it was their favorite toy. He picked up the dollhouse and put it in a big bag. + +But he did not see that the television was on. The television was in the living room, next to the table. The television was showing a show about cops and robbers. The cops were looking for the bad man, because he had taken many things from many houses. The television showed a picture of the bad man's face. He was pale and had a scar on his cheek. + +The bad man heard a noise from the television. He looked at it and saw his own face. He was scared. He dropped the bag with the dollhouse and ran out of the house. He did not want the cops to catch him. + +Lily and Ben came back from the store with their mom. They saw the bag with the dollhouse on the floor. They saw the television on. They saw the show about the bad man. They understood what had happened.

They said they valued the television and the dollhouse very much. They played with the dollhouse and watched the television together. They were happy. +Anna and Ben liked to play in the pond near their house. They liked to see the fish, the ducks and the frogs. One day, they saw a big frog with a red balloon tied to its leg. The balloon was pulling the frog up in the air. + +"Oh no!" Anna said. "The frog is in trouble! We have to save it!" + +Ben nodded. He was anxious. He did not want the frog to fly away. He ran to the pond and tried to catch the balloon. But it was too high. He jumped and jumped, but he could not reach it. + +"Help!" the frog croaked. "Please help me!" + +Anna had an idea. She saw a long stick on the ground. She picked it up and ran to Ben. She gave him the stick and said, "Use this to pop the balloon!" + +Ben took the stick and waved it in the air. He aimed at the balloon and hit it with the stick. Pop! The balloon burst and the frog fell into the water. Splash! + +"Thank you!" the frog said. "You saved me!" + +Anna and Ben smiled. They were happy. They had saved the frog. They watched the frog swim away and waved goodbye. + +"Bye, frog!" they said. "Be careful with balloons!" +Will is a boy who likes to play with cars and trucks. He has many cars and trucks in his room, but he does not like to put them away. His room is very messy. His mom tells him to clean his room, but he does not listen. + +One day, Will goes to the park with his mom. He sees a girl who is playing with a doll. The girl has long hair and a pink dress. She looks very neat. Will wants to play with her, so he runs to her and says, "Hi, I am Will. Do you want to play with me?" + +The girl looks at Will and sees his dirty clothes and his muddy shoes. She sees his hair is tangled and his face is smudged. She does not want to play with him. She says, "No, I do not want to play with you. You are very messy. Go away." + +Will feels sad and angry. He does not understand why the girl does not like him. He thinks she is mean and rude. He says, "You are not nice. You are silly. I do not want to play with you either. I have better toys than you." + +The girl does not care what Will says. She turns away and plays with her doll. Will stomps his feet and walks away. He looks for someone else to play with, but he does not meet anyone who wants to play with him. He wishes he had cleaned his room and listened to his mom. He learns that being messy is not fun. +Tom and Mia are playing with blocks in the living room. They like to build towers and houses and cars with the blocks. They have many colors of blocks: red, yellow, green, blue, and more. + +Mia sees a blue block that she wants. She tries to take it from Tom's tower, but Tom does not like that. He says, "No, Mia, that is my block. You have your own blocks. Go away!" + +Mia is sad and angry. She wants the blue block. She sees a candle on the table. The candle has a flame that is yellow and orange. It is hot and bright. Mia has an idea. She thinks, "If I burn Tom's tower with the candle, he will give me the blue block." + +Mia takes the candle and moves it close to Tom's tower. She does not know that fire is dangerous. She does not know that fire can hurt her and Tom and the blocks. She only wants the blue block. + +Tom sees what Mia is doing. He is scared and shocked. He shouts, "Mia, stop! You are burning my tower! You are burning the blocks! You are burning your face!" + +Mia feels a pain on her face. She drops the candle and screams.

The fire makes a loud noise and a bad smell. + +Mom and Dad hear the noise and the smell. They run to the living room. They see the fire and the blocks and the candle and the children. They are very angry and worried. They grab a blanket and put out the fire. They check Tom and Mia and see that they are not badly hurt. They hug them and scold them. They say, "What were you thinking? Fire is not a toy. Fire can burn you and the house and everything. You could have been hurt or worse. You are very naughty and foolish. You are in big trouble." + +Tom and Mia are sorry and ashamed. They cry and say, "We are sorry, Mom and Dad. We did not mean to burn anything. We were just playing with the blocks. Mia wanted the blue block and I did not let her. She got mad and tried to burn my tower. She burned her face and the blocks. We are sorry, we are sorry, we are sorry." + +Mom and Dad are still angry, but they are also glad that their children are safe. They say, "We are glad that you are sorry, but you still have to learn your lesson. Fire is not a toy. Fire is dangerous. You have to be careful and respectful with fire. You have to share and be nice with each other. You have to listen to us and follow the rules. Do you understand?" + +Tom and Mia nod and say, "Yes, Mom and Dad, we understand. We will not play with fire again. We will share and be nice. We will listen and follow the rules. We love you, Mom and Dad." + +Mom and Dad say, "We love you too, Tom and Mia. But you are still in big trouble. You have to clean up the mess and throw away the burned blocks. You have to go to your rooms and think about what you did. You have to say sorry to each other and hug. And you have to promise to never play with fire again. Do you promise?" + +Tom and Mia say, "Yes, Mom and Dad, we promise. We are sorry.

He is very famous and important," mom says. + +"What did he write, mom?" Tom asks. + +"He wrote stories, Tom. Stories about kings, queens, fairies, and clowns. Stories that make people laugh, cry, and think," mom says. + +"Can we read his stories, mom?" Sara and Tom ask together. + +"Maybe when you are older, Sara and Tom. His stories have many hard words. But you can look at his pictures and imagine his stories," mom says. + +Sara and Tom nod. They look at the statue and imagine his stories. They observe Mr. Shakespeare and smile. They think he is very interesting. +Lila and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big bird with many colors on its wings. It was a parrot.

They said hello back. + +"Hello, Polly. You are very pretty. Your feathers shine in the sun. Can we touch them?" Lila asked. + +"Sure, sure, you can touch them. But be gentle, gentle. They are soft and tickle. And don't pull them, pull them. They hurt, hurt." the parrot said. + +Lila and Ben reached out their hands and stroked the parrot's feathers. They felt smooth and warm. The parrot liked it and made a happy sound. + +"Thank you, thank you. You are very nice. Do you want a treat, treat? I have some seeds and nuts.

But don't eat too much, too much. Save some for later, later." the parrot said. + +The parrot gave them some seeds and nuts from a small bag. Lila and Ben ate them and liked them. They were crunchy and sweet. The parrot ate some too. + +They all smiled and enjoyed their snack. They became friends and had fun. They talked and played and laughed. They were happy, happy. +Lily and Ben were playing with a puzzle on the floor. The puzzle had many pieces with different colors and shapes. Lily liked the green pieces best. She tried to find where they fit on the puzzle. + +"Look, Ben, I found a green piece that goes here!" she said, pointing to a spot on the puzzle. + +Ben looked at the piece and nodded. He was looking for a blue piece that matched his part of the puzzle. He saw one on the other side of the floor. He crawled over to get it. + +But as he reached for the piece, he felt a tickle in his nose. He tried to stop it, but he could not. He sneezed very loud and hard. "Achoo!" + +The sneeze made him drop the blue piece. It also made some of the puzzle pieces fly away from the floor. Lily and Ben watched as the pieces scattered around the room. + +"Oh no, Ben, you sneezed away our puzzle!" Lily said, frowning. + +"I'm sorry, Lily, I didn't mean to sneeze," Ben said, rubbing his nose. "Are you mad at me?" + +Lily shook her head. She was not mad at Ben. She knew he could not help sneezing. She smiled and gave him a hug. + +"It's okay, Ben, we can find the pieces and put them back together," she said. "But first, let's get you a tissue. You don't want to sneeze again, do you?" + +Ben shook his head. He did not want to sneeze again. He took the tissue from Lily and blew his nose. Then they got up and started to look for the puzzle pieces. They had fun finding them and making the puzzle again. They were happy to play together. +Tom loved to play soccer with his friends. He liked to kick the ball and run fast. He was a good player. One day, he saw a new boy at the park. The boy had a red shirt and a big smile. He was holding a soccer ball. + +Tom wanted to play with him. He ran to the boy and said, "Hi, I am Tom. Do you want to play soccer with me and my friends?" + +The boy nodded and said, "Yes, I do. I am Sam. I just moved here with my mom and dad. I love soccer too." + +Tom was happy. He took Sam by the hand and said, "Come, I will introduce you to my friends. They are nice and fun. We can play together." + +He led Sam to his friends, who were waiting for them. He said, "Friends, this is Sam. He is new here. He likes soccer too. Sam, these are my friends.

They go to the park, the shop, and the pond. They see many things on their way. + +One day, they find a big crack in the road. It is long and deep. They wonder what is inside. They stop their bikes and look. + +"Wow, this is a cool crack!" Ben says. "Maybe there are bugs or rocks or treasure in it." + +"Let's find out!" Lily says. She gets off her bike and walks to the crack. She bends down and puts her hand in it. + +"Ouch!" she cries. "Something bit me!" + +Ben runs to her and sees blood on her finger. He is scared. + +"What bit you? Was it a bug or a rock or a treasure?" he asks. + +Lily shakes her head. She does not know. She pulls out her hand and shows him. There is a small, shiny thing on her finger. It looks like a ring. + +"It was this!" she says. "It is a cool ring, but it has a sharp point. It hurt me." + +Ben looks at the ring. He thinks it is pretty, but he does not want to touch it. + +"Maybe it is a treasure," he says. "But it is not a nice treasure. It is a mean treasure. We should leave it here." + +Lily nods. She agrees. She does not want the ring anymore. She drops it back in the crack. She wipes her finger with a tissue. + +"Let's go," she says. "This crack is not cool. It is bad. We should travel somewhere else." + +Ben gets on his bike and helps Lily get on hers. They ride away from the crack. They decide to go to the pond. They hope to see some ducks and fish. They think they are more cool than the crack. +Tom and Anna wanted to play hide and seek in the park. They asked their mom if they could go. Mom said yes, but they had to be honest and not cheat.

She did not know the names of all the flowers. Mom pointed to the bud. "This is a tulip. It will bloom soon and show you its petals. They can be red, yellow, pink, or purple. Do you want to make a promise with me?" + +Lily nodded. She liked promises. They made her feel safe and happy. Mom held her hand and said, "Let's promise to watch the tulip bloom together, okay? We can sit here every morning and see how it changes. And when it opens, we can celebrate with a picnic. How does that sound?" + +Lily clapped her hands and said, "Yes, yes, yes! I promise, mom.

You don't have to do everything by yourself. You can ask us for help. We are here for you. We are proud of you for wanting to help, but we are more proud of you for being honest and brave. You don't have to suffer alone. We will take you to the doctor and make you feel better. We love you, Lily." + +Lily smiled and said, "I love you, mom and dad. Thank you for helping me. I'm sorry for using the ladder. I won't do it again. I will be more careful and more modest." +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They like to swing on the swings. They swing high and low. They feel happy. + +One day, a new boy comes to the park. He has a big hat and a red coat. He looks at Lily and Ben. He says, "What are your names?" + +Lily says, "I am Lily. This is Ben. We are swinging. Do you want to swing with us?" + +The new boy says, "No, thank you. Swinging is silly. I have a better game. It is called 'Name the Hat'. I have many hats in my coat. I will show you a hat and you have to guess its name. Do you want to play with me?" + +Lily and Ben look at each other. They think the new boy is silly. They like swinging. They do not want to play 'Name the Hat'. They say, "No, thank you. We like swinging. Swinging is fun. You can play with us if you want, but we will not play your game." + +The new boy is angry. He says, "Fine. You are silly. I will play by myself. I do not need you." He takes out a hat from his coat. It is a big, furry hat. He puts it on his head. He says, "This hat is called a 'Bear Hat'. It is very warm and cozy. Do you know what a bear is?" + +Lily and Ben laugh. They know what a bear is. They have seen bears in books and on TV. They say, "Yes, we know what a bear is. A bear is a big, brown animal. It lives in the woods. It can roar and scratch. It is not a hat. You are silly. You are wearing a bear on your head!" + +The new boy is embarrassed. He takes off the hat. He says, "No, it is not a bear. It is a hat. A 'Bear Hat'. You are silly. You do not know hats." He puts the hat back in his coat. He takes out another hat. It is a yellow, pointy hat. He says, "This hat is called a 'Sun Hat'. It is very bright and shiny. Do you know what the sun is?" + +Lily and Ben laugh again. They know what the sun is. They have seen the sun in the sky. They say, "Yes, we know what the sun is. The sun is a big, yellow ball. It gives us light and heat. It is not a hat. You are silly. You are wearing the sun on your head!" + +The new boy is angry. He takes off the hat. He says, "No, it is not the sun. It is a hat. A 'Sun Hat'. You are silly. You do not know hats." He puts the hat back in his coat. He takes out another hat. It is a green, floppy hat. He says, "This hat is called a 'Frog Hat'. It is very soft and bouncy. Do you know what a frog is?" + +Lily and Ben laugh louder. They know what a frog is. They have seen frogs in the pond. They say, "Yes, we know what a frog is. A frog is a small, green animal. It can hop and croak. It is not a hat. You are silly. You are wearing a frog on your head!" + +The new boy is furious. He takes off the hat. He says, "No, it is not a frog. It is a hat. A 'Frog Hat'. You are silly. You do not know hats." He puts the hat back in his coat. He says, "You are no fun. You do not like my game. You do not like my hats. I do not like you. I will go home." He turns around and walks away. + +Lily and Ben stop laughing. They feel sorry for the new boy. They say, "Wait. Do not go. We are sorry. We did not mean to hurt your feelings. We just like swinging. We do not know your game. We do not know your hats. But we want to be your friends. What is your name?" + +The new boy stops. He looks back at Lily and Ben. He says, "My name is Max. I like hats. I have many hats. They are my friends. But I have no other friends. No one likes my game. No one likes my hats. Do you really want to be my friends?" + +Lily and Ben nod. They say, "Yes, we do. We want to be your friends. We want to learn your game. We want to see your hats. But we also want to swing. Can we do both? Can we swing and play 'Name +Ben was a chubby boy who liked to eat a lot of cake. He did not like to share his cake with anyone, not even his sister Lily. One day, he saw a big cake on the table and he wanted to eat it all by himself. He did not know that the cake was for his mom's birthday. + +He took the cake and ran to his room. He locked the door and started to eat the cake. He ate and ate and ate until he felt very sick. His tummy hurt and he felt like he was going to throw up. He wished he had not eaten so much cake. + +He heard a knock on the door. It was his mom. She said, "Ben, open the door. Why did you take the cake? It was for my birthday. You made me very sad." + +Ben felt very bad. He did not want to make his mom sad. He said, "I'm sorry, mom. I was greedy. I ate the cake and now I suffer. My tummy hurts and I feel sick. Can you forgive me?" + +His mom said, "Of course I forgive you, Ben. But you have to learn to share and not be greedy. Cake is good, but too much cake is bad. Come out of your room and say sorry to everyone. And then you have to be quiet and rest until you feel better." + +Ben opened the door and hugged his mom. He said sorry to his mom, his dad, his sister, and his grandma. They all hugged him and said they loved him. He gave his mom a kiss and said, "Happy birthday, mom. I hope you have a nice day." + +He went to his bed and lay down. He was quiet and tried to sleep. He hoped his tummy would stop hurting soon. He learned his lesson. He decided he would share his cake next time. +Sara and Ben like to play camp in the yard. They have a big tent, some pillows and a flashlight. They pretend they are in the woods and have adventures. + +One day, they decide to have a race to see who can seat in the tent first. They count to three and run as fast as they can. Sara is faster and gets to the tent before Ben. She seats inside and says, "I win! I win!" + +Ben is sad and angry. He thinks Sara is not fair. He says, "No, you don't win! You cheated! You pushed me!" + +Sara says, "No, I didn't cheat! You are just slow! You are a sore loser!" + +They start to yell and fight. They forget they are playing camp. They forget they are friends. + +Mom hears them and comes to the yard. She sees them in the tent, pulling and pushing each other. She says, "Stop it, both of you! What is going on?" + +Sara and Ben tell Mom what happened. They both say the other one is wrong. They both say they want to win. + +Mom says, "Playing camp is supposed to be fun, not competitive. It doesn't matter who seats in the tent first. What matters is that you share and have fun together. You are both good at different things. You can help each other and learn from each other. That's what friends do." + +Sara and Ben feel sorry. They say sorry to each other. They hug and make up. They decide to play camp again, but this time, they don't race. They seat in the tent together and tell stories. They laugh and have fun. They are happy. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play with paper and paint. They print their hands on the paper. They print their feet too. They make many colors and shapes. + +"Look, Lily, I print a nut!" Tom says. He shows Lily his paper. He prints a brown circle with a black dot. "It is a nut for a squirrel." + +"That is a good nut, Tom," Lily says. She prints a green leaf next to the nut. "It is a leaf for the nut. The squirrel can eat the nut and the leaf." + +They print more nuts and leaves on the paper. They are happy. They do not see the paint on the floor and the wall. They do not see the paint on their clothes and faces. They are messy. + +Mom comes in the room. She sees the paper and the paint. She sees Lily and Tom. She is not happy. She is angry. + +"What are you doing?" Mom asks. "You make a big mess! You do not print on the floor and the wall! You do not print on your clothes and faces! You are messy!" + +Lily and Tom are scared. They do not want Mom to be angry. They do not want to make a mess. They want to make Mom happy. + +"We are sorry, Mom," Lily and Tom say. "We print nuts and leaves. We want to give them to the squirrel. We do not want to make a mess." + +Mom sighs. She is not angry anymore. She is tired. She loves Lily and Tom. She knows they are good friends. She knows they like to print. + +"It is okay, Lily and Tom," Mom says. "You print nuts and leaves. They are nice. But you have to be careful with the paint. You have to print on the paper only. You have to clean the mess. You have to wash your clothes and faces. You are messy." + +Lily and Tom nod. They are sorry. They are happy. They hug Mom. They help Mom clean the mess. They wash their clothes and faces. They are not messy anymore. + +They give the paper with the nuts and leaves to Mom. Mom smiles. She likes the paper. She hangs it on the fridge. She thanks Lily and Tom. She gives them a kiss. + +They go outside. They see a squirrel. They give the squirrel a real nut. The squirrel takes the nut. The squirrel eats the nut. The squirrel is happy. Lily and Tom are happy too. They print a good nut. +Lily likes to look at photos with her mom. They sit on the sofa and mom shows her photos of her family and friends. Lily sees a photo of a big cake with candles. It is colorful and yummy. + +"Who is this?" mom asks, pointing to a girl in the photo. + +"That is me!" Lily says, smiling. "It was my birthday. I had a party and a cake. It was fun." + +Mom hugs Lily and says, "Yes, it was. You are my sweet girl. Do you remember who else was at your party?" + +Lily points to the other people in the photo. She knows their names. "This is dad, and this is grandma, and this is Sam, and this is Zoe. They are my family and friends. They gave me presents and sang to me." + +Mom nods and says, "That's right. They love you very much. And so do I. You are very lucky to have so many people who care about you." + +Lily feels happy and warm. She loves mom and the photos. She says, "I love you, mom. Can we look at more photos?" + +Mom smiles and says, "Of course, my dear. Let's see what else we have." They turn the page and see more colorful photos of happy moments. Lily and mom enjoy looking at them together. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big slide. Lily wanted to go on the slide, but Ben was scared. + +"Come on, Ben, it is fun!" Lily said. + +"No, it is too high. I do not like high things. They make me dizzy," Ben said. + +Lily did not listen. She ran to the slide and climbed up the ladder. She looked down and smiled. She was not scared at all. She slid down fast and laughed. + +"See, Ben, it is not scary. It is fun!" Lily said. + +Ben shook his head. He did not want to go on the slide. He saw a swing. He liked swings. He walked to the swing and sat on it. He pushed himself with his feet and swung back and forth. + +Lily saw Ben on the swing. She wanted to swing too. She ran to the swing and said, "Ben, get off the swing. I want to swing now." + +Ben did not want to get off the swing. He liked swinging. He said, "No, Lily, I was here first. You can wait your turn." + +Lily did not want to wait. She was angry. She said, "No, Ben, you have to get off the swing. I demand it. I am your big sister. You have to do what I say." + +Ben did not care. He said, "No, Lily, you are not the boss of me. You cannot demand anything. You have to share." + +Lily and Ben started to argue. They shouted at each other. They did not see the fox that was hiding behind a bush. The fox was hungry. He saw Lily and Ben. He thought they looked tasty. He sneaked closer and closer. He was ready to pounce. + +But then, he heard a loud noise. It was the park ranger. He was blowing a whistle. He saw the fox. He said, "Hey, you, get away from those kids. Go back to the woods. This is not your place." + +The fox was scared. He ran away. He did not want to mess with the park ranger. He looked for another place to find food. + +Lily and Ben heard the whistle. They stopped arguing. They saw the fox. They saw the park ranger. They were surprised. They said, "Wow, look at that. A fox. He was so close. He could have bitten us." + +The park ranger came to them. He said, "Are you okay, kids? That was a close call. You should be careful. There are wild animals in the park. You should not fight. You should stick together and watch out for each other." + +Lily and Ben felt sorry. They said, "We are sorry, sir. We were fighting over the swing. We were not nice to each other." + +The park ranger said, "That's okay, kids. Everyone fights sometimes. But you should also make up and share. Sharing is caring. Do you want to share the swing?" + +Lily and Ben nodded. They said, "Yes, sir. We want to share the swing. We are sorry, fox. We hope you find some food. But not us. We are friends." + +They hugged each other. They took turns on the swing. They had fun. They learned a lesson. They did not demand anything. They did not fight. They shared. They were happy. +Lily and Ben were playing outside with their toys. They liked to make roads and houses with the sand and the stones. They had a yellow truck and a yellow car that they shared. + +But then the sky became dark and the wind blew hard. Lily and Ben heard a loud noise. It was rain. Big drops of water fell from the sky and wet their toys and their clothes. + +"Let's go inside!" Lily said. "The rain is too strong and we are too weak!" + +Ben nodded and picked up the yellow truck. Lily grabbed the yellow car. They ran to the door of their house. But the door was locked. Their mom was not home yet. + +Lily and Ben knocked on the door and shouted. "Mom! Mom! Where are you? We are wet and cold!" + +They waited for a long time. They felt sad and scared. They hugged each other and hoped that their mom would come soon. + +Then they saw a light and heard a sound. It was their mom's car. She parked in front of the house and got out. She saw Lily and Ben and ran to them. + +"Oh, my poor babies!" she said. "I'm so sorry! I was stuck in traffic and I didn't know it was raining so hard. Come on, let's go inside and get dry and warm!" + +She unlocked the door and took Lily and Ben inside. She gave them towels and blankets and hot chocolate. She kissed them and hugged them and told them stories. + +Lily and Ben felt better. They smiled and thanked their mom. They forgot about the rain and the cold. They were happy and safe. They loved their mom and their yellow toys. +Tom was sad. He lost his toy car in the park. He looked everywhere, but he could not find it. He cried and cried. + +"Tom, don't cry," his mom said. "Maybe someone will find your car and bring it back to you." + +Tom shook his head. "No, mom. No one will find it. It is gone forever." + +Then, he heard a voice. "Hello, little boy. Are you looking for this?" The voice was soft and sweet. + +Tom looked up and saw a girl. She had long hair, a white dress, and wings. She was holding his toy car in her hand. + +"Who are you?" Tom asked, wiping his tears. + +"I am an angel," the girl said. "I saw your car in the grass. I knew it was yours. Here, you can have it back." + +Tom smiled and took his car. He hugged it tight. "Thank you, angel. You are very kind." + +The girl smiled back. "You are welcome, Tom. You are very brave. You did not give up on your car. You love it very much." + +Tom nodded. "Yes, I do. It is my favorite toy. How do you know my name?" + +The girl winked. "I know many things. I am an angel, remember? I have to go now. But I will always watch over you. Goodbye, Tom." + +She flew away, leaving a trail of sparkles behind her. + +Tom waved at her. "Goodbye, angel. Thank you again." + +He ran to his mom and showed her his car. He told her about the angel. His mom hugged him and kissed him. + +"That is a wonderful story, Tom. I am so happy for you. You are very lucky to meet an angel." + +Tom nodded. He was happy too. He felt a warm feeling in his heart. He knew the angel was right. He was brave. And he was not sad anymore. +Tom and Mia like to go to the park with Mom. They like to run and play and see the birds and flowers. Mom says they can go on the trail today. The trail is a path in the woods where they can look for animals and bugs. + +Tom and Mia are happy. They hold Mom's hand and walk on the trail. They look at the trees and the rocks and the sky. They see a squirrel and a rabbit and a butterfly. They say hello to them. + +"Look, Mom, look!" Tom says. He points to a big spider web on a branch. "It is shiny and pretty!" + +"Yes, it is, Tom," Mom says. "The spider worked hard to make it. Do you see the spider?" + +Tom and Mia look closer. They see a small spider on the web. It is brown and fuzzy. It moves its legs. + +"Hi, spider!" Mia says. "You are good at making webs!" + +The spider does not say anything. It just stays on the web. Tom and Mia think it is shy. + +They keep walking on the trail. They look for more things to see and learn. They have fun with Mom. They are happy. +Ben likes to record his voice with his toy phone. He likes to hear himself talk and sing and make funny noises. He thinks it is fun and smart. + +One day, he finds a big bottle of oil in the kitchen. He does not know what it is, but it looks shiny and slippery. He wants to play with it. He takes the bottle and his toy phone and goes to his room. + +He opens the bottle and pours some oil on his bed. He thinks it is like water, but smoother. He slides on the oil and laughs. He picks up his toy phone and says, "Hello, this is Ben. I am playing with oil. It is so cool. Do you want to play with me?" He presses the button to record his voice. + +Then he hears his mom calling him. She sounds angry. He drops his toy phone and runs to the door. He slips on the oil and falls. He hurts his knee and cries. + +His mom comes in and sees the mess. She is very mad. She says, "Ben, what have you done? This is oil, not water. It is for cooking, not playing. It is very dirty and dangerous. You are very stupid. You could have started a fire or hurt yourself. And you ruined your bed and your toy phone. How will you clean this up?" + +Ben feels sorry and scared. He says, "I'm sorry, mom. I didn't know. I just wanted to have fun. I wanted to record my voice. Please don't be mad at me." + +His mom sighs and hugs him. She says, "I'm not mad at you, Ben. I'm mad at what you did. You have to be careful and listen to me. Oil is not a toy. It is for grown-ups. And recording your voice is not smart if you do something bad. You have to learn from your mistakes. Now let's go and get some soap and water and clean this up." +Tim had a rubber ball that he loved very much. It was red and yellow and blue and green, and it bounced very high. He liked to play with it in the park with his friends, or in his backyard with his dog. + +One day, he took his ball to the park, but it was very crowded. There were many other children and dogs and bikes and kites. Tim threw his ball in the air and tried to catch it, but he missed. The ball bounced away and rolled under a big tree. + +Tim ran after his ball, but he could not see it under the tree. It was dark and shady there, and there were many leaves and sticks and bugs. He looked and looked, but he could not find his ball. + +He felt sad and angry. He wanted his ball back. He started to cry. + +"Hey, what's wrong?" a voice said. Tim looked up and saw a girl with curly hair and a pink dress. She was holding his ball in her hand. + +"I found your ball," she said. "It was shining in the sun. It's a very pretty ball. Do you want it back?" + +Tim nodded and smiled. He wiped his tears and reached for his ball. + +"Thank you," he said. "You are very nice. What is your name?" + +"I'm Mia," she said. "Do you want to play with me? We can share your ball." + +Tim nodded again and smiled bigger. He felt happy and lucky. He had his ball back, and he made a new friend. + +"Okay," he said. "Let's play. My name is Tim." + +They took turns throwing and catching the ball, and they laughed and had fun. They played until the sun went down, and then they said goodbye. + +Tim hugged his ball and his new friend. He was glad he had a rubber ball that shone in the sun. He was glad he met Mia. He was a lucky boy. +Lia and Ben are friends. They like to play in the woods. They find a hut. The hut is old and small. It has a door and a window. + +"Let's go inside," Lia says. She opens the door. The hut is dark and dirty. There are spiders and dust. Lia does not like it. + +"Yuck!" she says. "This hut is not clean. I want to go out." + +"Wait," Ben says. He sees something shiny. He walks to the window. He picks up a coin. The coin is gold and bright. Ben is happy. + +"Look!" he says. "I found a coin. Maybe there are more. Let's look around." + +Lia does not want to look. She wants to leave. She follows Ben. She stumbles on a rock. She falls down. She hurts her knee. She cries. + +"Ow!" she says. "I hurt myself. I want to go home." + +Ben hears Lia. He drops the coin. He runs to Lia. He helps her up. He hugs her. + +"I'm sorry," he says. "Are you okay? Let's go home. The coin is not important. You are my friend. You are more important." + +Lia smiles. She hugs Ben back. They leave the hut. They hold hands. They walk to their homes. They are still friends. +Lily loved jelly. She liked to eat it with her spoon and make funny noises. She liked red jelly and green jelly and yellow jelly. She liked jelly with fruit and jelly with cream. She liked jelly for dessert and jelly for snack. + +One day, Lily went to the park with her mom and dad. They brought a picnic basket with sandwiches and juice and cookies and jelly. Lily was very happy. She saw a big slide and a swing and a sandbox. She wanted to play with everything. + +"Can I play, mom?" Lily asked. + +"Of course, sweetie. But first, eat your sandwich and drink your juice. Then you can have some jelly and cookies," mom said. + +"Okay, mom," Lily said. She ate her sandwich and drank her juice. Then she ran to the slide. She slid down fast and laughed. She ran to the swing. She swung high and low and giggled. She ran to the sandbox. She made a castle and a moat and a bridge. + +She was having so much fun that she forgot about the jelly. She played and played until she heard mom call her. + +"Lily, it's time to go home. Come and get your jelly and cookies," mom said. + +Lily remembered the jelly. She ran to the picnic basket. She saw a small bowl with red jelly and a big plate with cookies. She reached for the bowl. + +But then she saw a little boy. He was sitting on a bench. He looked sad and hungry. He had no food and no toys. He looked at the jelly and cookies with big eyes. + +Lily felt sorry for the boy. She wanted to share with him. She picked up the bowl and the plate. She walked to the boy. + +"Hi, I'm Lily. Do you want some jelly and cookies?" she asked. + +The boy smiled. He nodded. He said, "Thank you. You are very generous. I'm Ben." + +Lily and Ben sat on the bench. They ate the jelly and cookies. They talked and laughed. They became friends. + +Mom and dad watched Lily and Ben. They were proud of Lily. They reminded her how kind and caring she was. They hugged her and kissed her. They said, "We love you, Lily. You are a wonderful girl." +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a new girl in the park. She has a big bottle in her hand. The bottle is cheap. It is made of plastic and has a hole in it. + +"Hello, what is your name?" Anna asks the new girl. + +"My name is Lily. I am new here. This is my bottle. I use it to make bubbles." Lily says. + +"Wow, that is cool. Can we play with you?" Ben asks. + +"Sure, you can. I will introduce you to my bottle. His name is Bob. He likes to make bubbles too." Lily says. + +Lily shows Anna and Ben how to blow into the hole of the bottle. Bob makes big bubbles that float in the air. Anna and Ben laugh and clap. They try to catch the bubbles with their hands. They have fun with Lily and Bob. + +Anna and Ben are happy. They have a new friend and a new game. They thank Lily and Bob for sharing their bottle. They say goodbye and promise to play again soon. They go home with smiles on their faces. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big tree with many green leaves. They want to climb the tree. + +"Look, Tom, there is a rope. We can hang on it and swing," Sam says. + +"Yes, let's try it. It looks fun," Tom says. + +They run to the tree and grab the rope. They take turns to hang on it and swing. They laugh and shout. + +But there is a man who lives near the park. He is deaf. He cannot hear anything. He likes to grow mint in his garden. He uses mint to make tea and cookies. He does not like noise. + +He sees Tom and Sam swinging on the rope. He gets angry. He thinks they are hurting his tree and his mint. He comes out of his house and yells at them. + +"Hey, you, stop that. Leave my tree and my mint alone. Go away," he says. + +But Tom and Sam cannot hear him. They are too far and too loud. They keep swinging and laughing. + +The man gets more angry. He picks up a stick and walks to the tree. He wants to hit Tom and Sam with the stick. + +But then, a dog comes out of the park. The dog is big and brown. He likes Tom and Sam. He sees the man with the stick. He thinks the man is bad. He barks and runs to the man. + +The man sees the dog. He gets scared. He drops the stick and runs back to his house. He locks the door and hides. + +Tom and Sam see the dog. They smile and wave. They thank the dog for saving them. They give the dog a mint. The dog likes mint. He wags his tail and licks their faces. + +They all become friends. They play in the park. They are happy. The end. +Tom and Lily were friends. They liked to play with toys and run in the park. One day, they found a big lock on a gate. They wanted to see what was behind the gate. + +"Let's open the lock!" Tom said. + +"But we don't have a key," Lily said. + +"Maybe we can use this stick," Tom said. He tried to put the stick in the lock, but it did not fit. + +"Maybe we can use this rock," Lily said. She tried to hit the lock with the rock, but it did not break. + +They tried many things, but nothing worked. They were sad. + +Then, they saw a man walking by. He had a key in his hand. + +"Excuse me, sir," Tom said. "Can you help us open this lock?" + +The man looked at them and smiled. He said, "Sure, I can help you. This is my gate. I have a farm behind it. Do you want to see my animals?" + +Tom and Lily nodded. They were happy. + +The man used his key to open the lock. He said, "Come on, follow me. I'll show you my cows, my pigs, my chickens, and my horse." + +Tom and Lily thanked the man. They followed him to the farm. They saw many animals. They petted them and fed them. They had fun. + +The man said, "You are very nice kids. You can come back anytime you want. But next time, don't try to open the lock with silly things. Just ask me for the key." + +Tom and Lily laughed. They said, "Okay, we will. Thank you for letting us see your farm." + +They hugged the man. They felt like they had a new friend. They had learned a new word: unite. It meant to join together. They liked to unite with people and animals. They were happy. +Tom and Anna are twins. They like to play with their toys, but sometimes they fight. One day, they have a big fight over a red car. They pull and push and shout. + +"Stop it, stop it!" Mom says. "You have to behave, or you will not get a treat. Share the car, or I will take it away." + +But Tom and Anna do not listen. They keep fighting. Mom is angry. She takes the car and puts it on a high shelf. "No car for you today," she says. "This is the result of your bad behavior." + +Tom and Anna are sad. They cry and say sorry. They want the car back. They hug Mom and promise to be good. + +Mom smiles. She is happy. She gives them a hug and a kiss. "OK, OK," she says. "You can have the car back, but only if you play nicely. And you have to do one more thing." + +"What is it, Mom?" Tom and Anna ask. + +Mom points to the door. "You have to open it and say hello to your grandma. She is here to visit you. She has a surprise for you." + +Tom and Anna are excited. They love their grandma. They run to the door and open it. They see their grandma holding a big box. They wonder what is inside. + +"Hello, my darlings," Grandma says. "I have a gift for you. Do you want to see what it is?" + +"Yes, yes, yes!" Tom and Anna say. + +Grandma opens the box. Inside, there are two new cars. One is blue and one is yellow. They are shiny and fast. + +"Wow, wow, wow!" Tom and Anna say. They hug their grandma and thank her. They take the cars and play with them. They share and take turns. They are happy. + +Mom and Grandma watch them. They smile and nod. They are proud of Tom and Anna. They behaved well and got a good result. They are good twins. +Sara and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to look for insects and see what they did. Sara saw a big green insect with wings on a flower. She ran to Ben and said, "Look, Ben, a big green insect! What is it?" + +Ben looked at the insect and said, "I think it is a grasshopper. It can jump very high and make a noise with its legs. Do you want to catch it?" + +Sara nodded and they both got closer to the flower. They tried to be very quiet and not scare the insect. They reached out their hands to grab it, but the grasshopper saw them and jumped away. + +"Wow, it jumped so high!" Sara said. "Let's follow it and try again." + +They ran after the grasshopper, but it was too fast for them. It jumped from flower to flower, and then to a big tree. Sara and Ben could not see it anymore. + +They paused and looked around. They saw a lot of other insects in the garden. They saw bees, butterflies, ants, and ladybugs. They decided to look at them instead of the grasshopper. + +They found a ladybug on a leaf and watched it crawl. They saw an ant carrying a crumb and followed it to its nest. They saw a bee fly to a hive and make honey. They saw a butterfly land on Sara's nose and tickle her. + +They laughed and had fun. They learned a lot about insects and how they lived. They also saw some fruits and berries in the garden. They picked some and ate them. They were very tasty and sweet. + +They said, "Thank you, insects, for making the garden so beautiful and yummy." + +They went back to their house and told their mom and dad what they saw and did. Their mom and dad were happy and proud of them. They gave them a hug and a kiss and said, "You are very smart and curious. We love you very much." +Ben and Lily liked to play with their cart. They put their toys in it and pushed it around the yard. Sometimes they pretended it was a car or a train or a boat. + +One day, they wanted to play different games. Ben wanted to be a pirate and sail the cart on the sea. Lily wanted to be a princess and ride the cart to the castle. They could not agree on what to play. + +"Let me be the pirate!" Ben said. "I have a hat and a sword and a map!" + +"No, let me be the princess!" Lily said. "I have a dress and a crown and a necklace!" + +They began to quarrel. They pulled the cart from each other. They shouted and cried. They did not want to share. + +Their mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw them fighting over the cart. She was not happy. + +"Ben and Lily, stop quarreling!" she said. "You are being very lazy. You have so many toys and so much space to play. Why can't you use your imagination and play together?" + +She took the cart away from them and put it in the garage. She told them to go inside and calm down. She said they could not play with the cart until they learned to share and be nice. + +Ben and Lily felt sorry. They did not want to lose their cart. They did not want to make their mom angry. They hugged and said sorry to each other. They decided to play a new game. They pretended they were astronauts and used a big box as a rocket. They had fun and forgot about the cart. +Tom and Mia liked to play in the park. They liked to slide, swing, and run. But they did not like the big dog that lived near the park. The big dog was mean and loud. He had sharp teeth and a sharp bark. He liked to chase Tom and Mia and make them scared. + +One day, Tom and Mia saw a new man in the park. He wore a blue suit and a hat. He had a badge and a whistle. He was a guard. He walked around the park and looked at everything. He saw the big dog and said, "Hey, you! Go away! This park is for people, not for mean dogs!" + +The big dog did not listen. He growled and ran towards the guard. The guard was not afraid. He was fit and strong. He blew his whistle and shouted, "Stop! Bad dog! I will catch you!" He ran after the big dog and grabbed his collar. He pulled him away from the park and locked him in a cage. He said, "You will stay here until your owner comes. You need to learn to be nice and quiet." + +Tom and Mia clapped and cheered. They were happy and safe. They thanked the guard and said, "You are brave and kind. You saved us from the big dog. You are our hero!" The guard smiled and said, "You are welcome. I am glad you are okay. You can play in the park as much as you want. But be careful and have fun!" Tom and Mia nodded and hugged the guard. They went back to the slide, the swing, and the run. They had a lot of fun in the park. They liked the guard. He was their friend. +Sara liked to play with her flute. She made nice sounds with it. She took it everywhere with her. One day, she went to the park with her mom and her flute. She saw a big snowman in the park. He had a hat, a scarf, a carrot nose and two buttons for eyes. + +"Can I play with the snowman, mom?" Sara asked. + +"Sure, honey, but be careful. He might melt if it gets too warm," mom said. + +Sara ran to the snowman and said hello. She played her flute for him. She thought he liked it. She gave him a hug. She felt his cold and wet. She put her flute in his mouth. She thought he might want to try it. + +But then, the sun came out. It was very bright and hot. The snowman started to melt. He got smaller and smaller. His hat fell off. His scarf slipped. His carrot nose dropped. His buttons rolled away. His mouth became a hole. Sara's flute fell to the ground. + +"Mom, mom, the snowman is melting! He is dead!" Sara cried. + +Mom came and hugged Sara. She picked up her flute and wiped it. She said, "I'm sorry, honey. The snowman was not alive. He was just made of snow. He was fun to play with, but he could not last. He had to go back to the water. But you still have your flute. You can make more friends with it. You can play it for the birds, the flowers, the trees, and me. I love you and your flute." + +Sara felt sad, but also a little better. She hugged mom and said, "I love you too, mom. And I love my flute. Can we make another snowman someday?" + +"Maybe, honey, if it snows again. But for now, let's go home and have some hot chocolate. How does that sound?" mom said. + +Sara nodded and smiled. She took her flute and followed mom. She played her flute on the way. She still liked to play with her flute. She made nice sounds with it. She took it everywhere with her. +Ben and Lily are twins. They like to play in the park. They see a big bird in the sky. The bird has thick wings and a long tail. It can fly very high and fast. + +"Wow, look at the bird!" Ben says. "I want to fly like the bird. Do you want to fly, Lily?" + +"Yes, I want to fly too," Lily says. "But how can we fly? We have no wings." + +Ben thinks hard. He has an idea. He runs to the slide. He climbs to the top. He holds his arms out like wings. + +"Watch me, Lily!" he says. "I can fly!" + +He jumps from the slide. He feels the wind on his face. He smiles. But he does not fly. He falls to the ground. He hurts his knee. He cries. + +Lily runs to him. She hugs him. She says, "Are you OK, Ben? I'm sorry you can't fly." + +Ben stops crying. He says, "It's OK, Lily. I tried to fly, but I can't. Maybe we can fly when we are big. Or maybe we can fly in our dreams." + +Lily nods. She says, "Yes, maybe. But we can still have fun. Do you want to swing, Ben?" + +Ben nods. He says, "Yes, I want to swing. Swinging is fun. Come on, Lily. Let's swing." + +They go to the swings. They push each other. They laugh. They feel happy. They forget about the bird. They enjoy the park. +Sara and Ben like to play in the yard. They have a big box of junk. They make things with the junk. They make cars, robots, houses, and more. + +One day, they want to make a rocket. They find a big can, some sticks, and some paper. They put the can on the sticks. They wrap the paper around the can. They draw windows and stars on the paper. They are ready to fly. + +"Let's go to the moon!" Sara says. She gets in the can. Ben gets in too. They count to three. "One, two, three, blast off!" They shout. + +They pretend the can is a rocket. They make noises like a rocket. They shake the can. They feel like they rise in the air. They see the sky and the clouds. They have fun. + +But then, they hear a loud bark. It is Rex, the dog. Rex likes to play too. He sees the can. He thinks it is a toy. He runs to the can. He bites the can. He pulls the can. He makes the can fall. + +Sara and Ben are scared. They fall out of the can. They are not hurt, but they are sad. Their rocket is broken. Rex is happy. He wags his tail. He licks Sara and Ben. + +"Bad dog!" Sara says. "You broke our rocket!" + +"Sorry, sorry," Ben says. "He did not know. He just wanted to play." + +Sara and Ben look at their junk. They see they have more junk. They have an idea. + +"Let's make another rocket," Sara says. "But this time, let's make one for Rex too." + +"Good idea," Ben says. "Then we can all go to the moon together." + +They smile. They hug Rex. They start to make new rockets. They are happy. +Lila and Ben were playing with their toy cars in the garden. They liked to make noises like motors and pretend they were racing. Lila had a red car and Ben had a blue car. They had a lot of fun. + +But then, Lila saw a spray bottle on the table. She picked it up and said, "Look, Ben, I have a spray. I can make it rain on your car. Ha ha!" + +She pressed the button and squirted water at Ben's car. Ben was not happy. He said, "Stop it, Lila! You are being bossy and mean. You are wetting my car and making it dirty. I don't like it!" + +Lila did not listen. She said, "I don't care. I like to spray. It is fun. You have to do what I say. I am the boss of you and your car." + +She sprayed more water at Ben and his car. Ben got angry. He said, "No, you are not the boss of me. You are a bad friend. I don't want to play with you anymore." + +He grabbed his car and ran away. Lila was left alone with her spray bottle. She felt sad. She realized she had been rude and hurt Ben's feelings. She wished she had been nicer and shared the spray bottle with him. She wanted to say sorry and play with him again. + +She put down the spray bottle and ran after Ben. She called out, "Ben, wait! I am sorry. I was wrong. You are a good friend. Can we play together again?" + +Ben heard her and stopped. He turned around and saw Lila. He saw that she was sorry and that she had left the spray bottle behind. He smiled and said, "Okay, Lila. I forgive you. We can play together again. But next time, don't be so bossy and spray my car. Let's share and have fun." + +Lila nodded and said, "Thank you, Ben. You are right. Let's share and have fun. I am sorry I sprayed your car. Can I see it? It is a nice car." + +Ben said, "Sure, Lila. You can see it. It is a nice car. And your car is nice too. It is a red car. I like red cars." + +They hugged and went back to the garden. They played with their cars and the spray bottle. They took turns to spray and make rain. They made noises like motors and pretended they were racing. They had a lot of fun. +Lily liked to be independent. She did not want to ask for help. She wanted to do everything by herself. She liked to fold her clothes and put them in her drawer. She liked to fold her paper and make shapes. She liked to fold her arms and say no when she did not like something. + +One day, Lily was folding her paper and making a boat. She wanted to sail it in the bathtub. She did not ask her mom if she could. She just went to the bathroom and filled the tub with water. She put her boat in the water and watched it float. She was happy. + +But then, she saw something else in the water. It was her mom's phone. She had left it on the edge of the tub. Lily did not know what to do. She knew her mom needed her phone. She knew phones did not like water. She knew she was in trouble. + +She ran to her mom and said, "Mom, mom, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I made a mistake. Your phone is in the water. I was playing with my boat and I did not see it. Please don't be mad at me." + +Her mom was surprised and worried. She ran to the bathroom and took her phone out of the water. She tried to turn it on, but it did not work. She was sad and angry. She said, "Lily, why did you do that? Why did you not ask me if you could play in the tub? Why did you not tell me right away? You know phones are not toys. You know water can break them. You are in big trouble, young lady." + +Lily felt bad. She did not mean to hurt her mom's phone. She did not mean to make her mom sad and angry. She said, "I'm sorry, mom, I'm sorry. I just wanted to be independent. I just wanted to do something by myself. I did not think it would be a problem. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." + +Her mom sighed and hugged her. She said, "Lily, I love you, but you have to learn to be careful. You have to learn to ask for help when you need it. You have to learn to tell the truth when you make a mistake. Being independent is good, but being responsible is better. Do you understand?" + +Lily nodded and said, "Yes, mom, I understand. I'm sorry, mom, I love you." + +Her mom said, "I love you too, Lily. Now, let's see if we can fix your phone. And maybe we can make another boat together. But next time, let's use a bowl of water, okay?" + +Lily smiled and said, "Okay, mom, okay." +Tom and Anna are going to the park with Mom. They are very happy. They like to play on the swings and the slide. Mom helps them get in the car. She says, "You have to wear your buckle. It keeps you safe." She puts the buckle on Tom and Anna. She makes it tight. Tom and Anna say, "Ouch! It hurts!" + +Mom says, "I'm sorry, but it has to be tight. If it is loose, it will not work. Do you want to go to the park or not?" Tom and Anna think. They want to go to the park. They say, "OK, Mom. We will wear the buckle. But can you make it a little less tight?" Mom smiles. She says, "Sure, I can do that. But not too much. Just enough so it does not hurt." She makes the buckle a little less tight. Tom and Anna say, "Thank you, Mom. You are the best." + +Mom says, "You are welcome, Tom and Anna. You are very good. Now let's go to the park and have some fun." She starts the car. Tom and Anna look out the window. They see the trees and the birds and the sun. They are very happy. They can't wait to play on the swings and the slide. They say, "We love you, Mom. And we love the park." Mom says, "I love you, too, Tom and Anna. And I love the park, too." They all laugh. They have a good day. +Lila and Ben are twins. They like to play outside with their toys. They have a big rock that they pretend is a boat. They take turns to be the captain and the sailor. + +One day, they see a goat in their yard. The goat is orange and has horns. It looks at them and makes a loud sound. "Baa!" + +"Wow, look at the goat!" Lila says. "Can we play with it?" + +"I don't know," Ben says. "Maybe it is not nice. Maybe it will bite us." + +They go closer to the goat. The goat walks to them and sniffs their rock. It likes the rock. It licks the rock with its tongue. + +"Hi, goat," Lila says. "Do you want to play with us? Do you want to be on our boat?" + +The goat nods its head. It jumps on the rock and sits down. It rocks with Lila and Ben. It is happy. + +"Yay, we have a new friend!" Ben says. "What should we call it?" + +Lila thinks for a moment. She smiles. "How about Rocky?" she says. + +"Rocky the orange goat," Ben says. "I like it." + +They all rock on the rock and laugh. They have fun. +Lily and Ben were twins. They liked to play with their toys and books. But when it was time for bed, they did not like to sleep. They wanted to stay up and have fun. + +"Mommy, can we read one more story?" Lily asked. + +"Please, please, please?" Ben added. + +Mommy smiled and said, "Okay, one more story. But then you have to settle down and sleep. You need to rest for tomorrow." + +She read them a story about a cute bunny who went on an adventure. Lily and Ben listened and looked at the pictures. They liked the bunny and his friends. + +When the story was over, Mommy kissed them goodnight and turned off the light. She said, "I love you, Lily and Ben. Sweet dreams." + +Lily and Ben hugged their teddy bears and closed their eyes. They tried to sleep, but they were still excited. + +"Ben, are you awake?" Lily whispered. + +"Yes, I am. Do you want to talk?" Ben whispered back. + +They started to talk about the story and the bunny. They imagined what they would do if they met him. They giggled and whispered for a while. + +But soon, they felt sleepy. Their voices became softer and slower. Their eyes became heavier and heavier. They stopped talking and snuggled with their teddy bears. + +They fell asleep and had nice dreams. They did not wake up until the sun came through the window. They smiled and stretched. They were ready for a new day. +Mia and Leo were jolly twins who liked to play with their toys. They had a big box full of cars, dolls, blocks, and books. One day, they decided to make a pretend school for their toys. Mia was the teacher and Leo was the helper. + +"Hello, class," Mia said. "Today we are going to learn about animals. Can you name some animals?" + +The toys made noises like cats, dogs, cows, and birds. Mia and Leo clapped and praised them. + +"Very good, class," Mia said. "Now, let's count how many animals we have. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. We have ten animals. Can you say ten?" + +The toys repeated "ten" in different voices. Mia and Leo smiled and cheered. + +"Great job, class," Mia said. "Now, it's time for a break. You can play with each other or read a book. Leo and I will get some snacks for you." + +Mia and Leo went to the kitchen and asked their mom for some cookies and juice. Their mom gave them a tray with cups and plates. She also gave them a surprise. + +"Look, Mia and Leo," she said. "This is your new baby brother. He is an infant. He was born this morning. Do you want to say hello to him?" + +Mia and Leo were very curious and excited. They went to see the infant. He was small and cute. He had a pink face and a soft blanket. He opened his eyes and looked at them. + +"Hello, baby brother," Mia and Leo said. "We are your big sister and brother. We love you. Do you want to play with us?" + +The infant made a tiny noise and smiled. Mia and Leo hugged him gently. They were very happy. They had a new friend. + +The end. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play in the kitchen. They have a big cabinet with many pots and pans. They pretend to cook and make noise. + +One day, they find a new thing in the cabinet. It is a small box with a button. Sara pushes the button. The box makes a sound and opens. Inside, there is a cold wind and some ice. + +"Wow, what is this?" Sara asks. + +"I don't know. Maybe it is a magic box," Ben says. + +They touch the ice. It is very icy and hard. They take some ice and put it in their mouths. It is very cold and wet. They laugh and make faces. + +"Let's make a snowman with the ice," Sara says. + +"Okay, but we have to be quick. The ice will melt," Ben says. + +They take more ice and make a small snowman on the floor. They give it a carrot nose and a hat. They are very happy. + +But then, they hear a voice. It is their mom. + +"What are you doing in the kitchen? Why is there ice everywhere?" Mom asks. + +Sara and Ben look at each other. They are scared. They don't know how to explain. + +"Sorry, Mom. We found a new thing in the cabinet. It makes ice. We wanted to play with it," Sara says. + +Mom looks at the cabinet. She sees the box. It is a freezer. She forgot to tell Sara and Ben about it. + +"Oh, I see. That is a freezer. It is for keeping food cold. It is not a toy. You should not touch it without asking me. You could get hurt or make a mess," Mom says. + +Sara and Ben feel bad. They say sorry to Mom. They help her clean the ice. They promise not to play with the freezer again. + +Mom hugs them. She is not angry. She is glad they are safe. + +"Next time, if you want to play with ice, we can go outside and make a real snowman. How does that sound?" Mom says. + +Sara and Ben smile. They like that idea. + +"Yes, please. That sounds fun," they say. +Sara likes to tie ribbons in her hair. She has many ribbons of different colors. She likes to match them with her dresses. Today, she is wearing a pink dress and a pink ribbon. + +She goes to the park with her mom and sees her friend Ben. Ben is wearing a blue shirt and a blue hat. He has a book in his hand. Sara runs to him and says hello. + +"Hi, Sara. Do you want to hear a poem?" Ben asks. + +"A poem? What is a poem?" Sara asks. + +"A poem is a kind of story that rhymes. It sounds nice and funny. Listen to this one." Ben opens his book and reads: + +"I have a cat, his name is Jack +He likes to play and scratch and snack +He is very fierce and brave and strong +But he is scared of a little song" + +Sara laughs. She thinks the poem is silly and cute. She likes how the words sound together. + +"That is a nice poem, Ben. Can you teach me how to make one?" Sara asks. + +"Sure, Sara. It is easy. You just have to think of words that end with the same sound. Like cat and hat and rat. Then you make a sentence with them. Like this: I see a rat, he wears a hat, he runs away from my cat." Ben explains. + +Sara nods. She tries to make her own poem. She thinks of words that end with the same sound as ribbon. She says: + +"I have a ribbon, it is pink and thin +I tie it in my hair and make a grin +I like to swing and sing and spin +With my ribbon, I always win" + +Ben claps. He thinks Sara's poem is good and fun. He likes how she smiles and spins. He says: + +"Wow, Sara. You are very good at making poems. You are a poet. Do you want to make more poems with me?" + +Sara nods. She is happy. She likes to make poems with Ben. They sit on the grass and make more poems. They have a lot of fun. +Lily and Tom were best friends. They liked to play in the park and skip on the grass. One day, they saw a big melon on a bench. It was green and round and had a funny sticker on it. + +"Who left this melon here?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know. Maybe someone forgot it," Tom said. + +They went closer to the melon and touched it. It felt hard and cold. They smelled it. It smelled sweet and fresh. + +"Can we eat it?" Lily wondered. + +"I don't think so. It's not ours. And it might have a worm inside," Tom said. + +They looked at the sticker. It had a picture of a star and some letters they could not read. + +"What does it say?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know. It looks mysterious," Tom said. + +They heard a voice behind them. It was a man with a hat and a coat. He looked angry. + +"Hey, you two! Get away from my melon! That's mine!" he shouted. + +Lily and Tom got scared. They dropped the melon and ran away. They skipped as fast as they could to the other side of the park. They did not want to see the man or the melon again. + +They decided to play with the swings and the slides instead. They had more fun and forgot about the mysterious melon. +Sara was playing with her blocks in her room. She liked to build towers and bridges and castles. She was very good at it. She was brilliant. + +But she was also very tired. She had been playing all morning and she did not have a nap. Her eyes felt heavy and her yawns were big. She wanted to sleep, but she did not want to stop playing. + +She heard a knock on her door. It was her mom. "Sara, it's time for your nap," her mom said. "You need to rest and have sweet dreams." + +Sara shook her head. "No, mom, I don't want to nap. I want to play with my blocks. They are fun and pretty." + +Her mom smiled. "I know, Sara, but you can play with them later. You will have more energy and more ideas if you nap. Come on, let's go to your bed. I will read you a story." + +Sara pouted. She did not want to leave her blocks. She did not want to go to her bed. She did not want to hear a story. She wanted to play. + +But then she saw something on her wall. It was a spider. It was small and black and had eight legs. It was crawling up and down and across the web. It was making a pattern. It was brilliant. + +Sara gasped. She loved spiders. She thought they were amazing and cool. She wanted to watch the spider. She wanted to learn more about it. + +"Mom, look!" she said. "A spider! Can we see the spider? Can we watch the spider? Can we talk to the spider?" + +Her mom looked at the wall. She saw the spider. She did not like spiders. She thought they were creepy and scary. She wanted to get rid of the spider. + +But she saw Sara's eyes. They were bright and curious and happy. She saw Sara's smile. It was big and sweet and cute. She saw Sara's love. It was for the spider. + +She sighed. She knew Sara would not nap if she saw the spider. She knew Sara would not leave the spider. She knew Sara would not listen to her. + +She decided to let Sara stay. She decided to let Sara watch the spider. She decided to let Sara talk to the spider. + +"Okay, Sara," she said. "You can see the spider. You can watch the spider. You can talk to the spider. But you have to be quiet and gentle. And you have to nap after the spider." + +Sara nodded. She was happy. She thanked her mom. She hugged her mom. She went to the wall. She sat on the floor. She looked at the spider. She whispered to the spider. + +She said, "Hello, spider. You are brilliant. I like you. I want to be your friend. Will you nap with me?" +Tim and Sam are friends. They like to play with gear. Gear are things that have teeth and can turn. They have a big box of gear in Tim's room. + +One day, they want to make a tall tower with gear. They set the gear on the floor and start to connect them. They make a base, then a middle, then a top. They use all the gear they have. + +"Look, our tower is so tall!" Tim says. "It is taller than me!" + +"Yes, it is!" Sam says. "But can it turn?" + +They find a handle and attach it to the top gear. They try to turn it, but it is hard. The tower is too tall and heavy. + +"Help me, Tim!" Sam says. "We need to turn it together!" + +They both push the handle, but the tower wobbles. It is not stable. It falls down with a loud crash. The gear scatter everywhere. + +"Oh no, our tower!" Tim says. "It is broken!" + +"It's okay, Tim," Sam says. "We can make another one. But maybe not so tall." + +They laugh and start to pick up the gear. They are still friends. They still like to play with gear. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big post with a sign on it. The sign said "Do not climb". But Tom was curious and careless. He wanted to see what was on top of the post. + +"Tom, do not climb the post!" Lily warned him. "The sign says no. It is not safe. You can fall and hurt yourself." + +But Tom did not listen. He climbed the post anyway. He reached the top and looked around. He saw birds and trees and cars. He felt happy and proud. He did not see the big dog that was running towards him. + +The dog saw Tom on the post. The dog did not like Tom. The dog barked and growled and jumped. He wanted to bite Tom. Tom was scared. He tried to get down, but he slipped and fell. He landed on the ground with a thud. He cried and cried. + +Lily ran to Tom. She hugged him and said "Are you okay, Tom? I told you not to climb the post. You were careless. You should listen to me." + +Tom felt sorry and sad. He said "I am sorry, Lily. You were right. I was careless. I should listen to you. The post was not fun. The dog was mean. I do not want to climb the post again." + +Lily and Tom went to find their mom. She took them home and gave them a hug and a kiss. She said "I am glad you are okay, Tom. But you should not climb the post. You should obey the sign. You should be careful. And you should listen to Lily. She is a good friend. She warned you." + +Tom and Lily nodded and said "Yes, mom. We understand. We will be careful. And we will listen to Lily. She is a good friend. She warned us." +Lila was sad. She missed her home and her friends. She moved to a new place with her mom and dad. The new place was big and loud and had many people. But they did not speak the same language as Lila. Lila did not understand them and they did not understand her. + +One day, Lila went to a park with her mom. She saw a girl playing with a ball. The girl had long hair and a pink dress. Lila liked her. She wanted to play with her. She walked to the girl and said, "Hi, I am Lila. Can I play with you?" + +The girl looked at Lila and smiled. But she did not say anything. She pointed to her ears and shook her head. Lila was confused. She did not know what the girl meant. She tried to say something else, but the girl did not answer. She just smiled and nodded. + +Lila's mom saw what was happening. She came to Lila and the girl. She said, "Lila, this is Mia. Mia is deaf. She cannot hear you. She uses her hands to talk. It is a different language. It is called sign language. It is very rare. Not many people know it." + +Lila was surprised. She did not know that there was a language like that. She wanted to learn it. She asked her mom, "Can you teach me sign language? I want to talk to Mia. I want to be her friend." + +Her mom smiled and hugged her. She said, "Of course, I can teach you. I know sign language. I used to work with deaf children. It is not hard to learn. You just have to watch and copy. Come, I will show you some signs. Then you can comfort Mia and tell her that you like her." + +Lila was happy. She learned some signs from her mom. She said hello, thank you, sorry, and friend to Mia. Mia was happy too. She taught Lila some more signs. They played with the ball and laughed. They became friends. Lila did not feel sad anymore. She felt comfort in her new place. She learned a new language. She found a rare friend. +Anna and Ben went to the big park with their mom. They saw many things in the park: trees, flowers, birds, and people. They also saw some statues. Statues are like big dolls made of stone or metal. They do not move or talk, but they look like people or animals. + +Anna liked a statue of a lady with a long dress and a hat. She was holding a book in her hand. Anna thought she was very graceful. Graceful means she looked pretty and smooth, like a dancer. Anna said to her mom, "Mom, can I be like her when I grow up?" + +Mom smiled and said, "You can be anything you want, Anna. But you are already graceful and smart, just like her. Do you know who she is?" + +Anna shook her head. She did not know. + +Mom said, "She is a famous writer. She wrote many stories for children and grown-ups. Her name is Louisa May Alcott. She lived a long time ago, but her stories are still loved by many people. She liked to display her imagination and her courage in her stories. Display means to show or share something with others." + +Anna nodded. She liked stories. She liked to display her imagination too. She said, "Maybe I can write stories like her someday." + +Mom said, "I'm sure you can, Anna. You have a lot of talent and passion. But first, you have to learn how to read and write well. Do you want to borrow her book from the library and read it with me?" + +Anna said, "Yes, please. That sounds fun." + +Mom said, "Okay, then. Let's go to the library. But first, let's say goodbye to the statue. Maybe she can inspire you to write your own stories." + +Anna and Ben waved to the statue and said, "Bye, Louisa. Thank you for your stories. We hope to see you again." + +The statue did not answer, but Anna felt like she smiled at them. She felt happy and excited. She wanted to display her stories to the world, just like Louisa. +Sara and Ben like to play in the woods. They find a big log and try to lift it. Sara holds one end and Ben holds the other end. They want to make a bridge over the stream. + +But the log is too heavy for them. They drop it on the ground. The log makes a loud noise. Sara and Ben are scared. They think they broke the log. + +A man comes out of a small house near the woods. He hears the noise and sees the log. He is angry. He says, "Who did this? This is my log. I need it for the fire." + +Sara and Ben are sorry. They did not know the log belongs to the man. They say, "We are sorry, sir. We just wanted to play. We did not mean to break your log." + +The man sees their faces. They look sad and scared. He is not angry anymore. He says, "It's okay, kids. The log is not broken. You can play with it if you want. But be careful. It is heavy and hard. And don't go near the stream. It is deep and fast." + +Sara and Ben are happy. They say, "Thank you, sir. We will be careful. And we will not go near the stream." + +They hold the log again and try to roll it. They have fun in the woods. The man watches them and smiles. He is glad they are sorry and polite. He thinks they are good kids. +Tom and Lily went to the shop with Mom. They wanted to buy some bread and milk and eggs. The shop was very big and bright. There were many things to see and touch. + +"Look, Mom, a red ball!" Tom said, and ran to get it. + +"Wait, Tom, don't run away!" Mom said, and followed him. + +Lily saw a yellow dress with flowers. She liked it very much. She wanted to try it on. + +"Mom, can I have this dress?" Lily asked, and held it up. + +Mom came back with Tom and the red ball. She smiled at Lily. + +"That's a pretty dress, Lily, but we don't have money for it today. Maybe another day, okay?" Mom said. + +Lily felt sad. She put the dress back on the rack. + +Mom took Tom and Lily to the cashier. She paid for the bread and milk and eggs and the red ball. She gave Tom the ball and he smiled. + +"Thank you, Mom!" Tom said. + +"You're welcome, Tom. Now let's go home, okay?" Mom said. + +Tom and Lily nodded. They followed Mom out of the shop. They were tired from walking and looking. They wanted to rest. + +When they got home, Mom made them some sandwiches and juice. They ate them on the couch and watched some cartoons. They felt happy and cozy. + +"Mom, you're the best!" Lily said, and hugged Mom. + +"I love you, Lily. And I love you, Tom." Mom said, and hugged them both. + +They rested on the couch and fell asleep. Mom kissed them and covered them with a blanket. She smiled and rested too. +Lily and Ben are playing with their toys in the living room. They have cars, dolls, blocks and books. They make a lot of noise and mess. Mom is in the kitchen, making lunch. She hears them and smiles. + +"Kids, it's time to eat!" she calls. "Please clean up your toys and come to the table." + +Lily and Ben stop playing and look at each other. They do not want to clean up. They want to play more. + +"Can we play a little longer, Mom?" Lily asks. + +"No, sweetie, you have to clean up now. It's not fair to leave your toys everywhere. Someone might trip and get hurt. And you need to eat, too. You must be hungry," Mom says. + +Lily and Ben sigh. They do not like to clean up. It is boring and hard. They wish they had a cop to help them. A cop is a person who helps people and catches bad guys. They have seen cops on TV and in books. They think cops are cool and brave. + +They have an idea. They decide to pretend they are cops and their toys are bad guys. They grab their toy cars and make sirens. They chase their dolls and blocks and books and put them in a big box. They say things like "Stop, bad guy!" and "You're under arrest!" and "To the jail with you!" + +They have fun and clean up at the same time. They are eager to finish and show Mom. They work fast and loud. Mom hears them and smiles again. + +"Wow, you two are amazing cops!" she says. "You cleaned up so well and so fast! I'm very proud of you. Now, come and eat your lunch. You deserve it." + +Lily and Ben smile, too. They are happy and proud. They run to the table and hug Mom. They tell her about their cop game and how they caught all the bad guys. Mom listens and laughs. She gives them a big kiss and a plate of sandwiches. They eat and talk and laugh. They have a good time. They love Mom and they love being cops. +Anna liked to read books. She had many books in her room. She liked to look at the pictures and make up stories. One day, she found a new book on her bed. It was a gift from her grandma. The book was about a graceful swan who lived in a pond. + +Anna opened the book and started to read. She saw the swan swim with her friends, eat fish and plants, and make a nest. The swan was very happy. Anna smiled and turned the page. But then, she felt a tickle in her nose. She tried to hold it in, but she could not. She sneezed very loud. + +"Achoo!" + +The sneeze made the book fly out of her hands. It landed on the floor with a thud. Anna was surprised and scared. She hoped she did not break the book. She got off the bed and picked up the book. She looked at it carefully. She saw that the book was still okay. She was relieved. + +"Are you okay, Anna?" her mom asked from the door. She heard the sneeze and came to check on her. + +"Yes, mom, I'm okay. I just sneezed and dropped the book. But the book is fine. See?" Anna showed her mom the book. + +"That's good, honey. I'm glad you like the book. It's from grandma. She loves you very much. And so do I." her mom said and hugged her. + +"I love you too, mom. And I love grandma. And I love the swan. She is so graceful." Anna said and hugged her back. + +They smiled and cuddled on the bed. They read the book together and enjoyed the story. Anna learned more about the swan and her pond. She felt happy and cozy. She thanked her mom and grandma for the book. She said it was her favorite book. She sneezed again, but this time, she covered her nose and mouth. She said sorry and giggled. Her mom said bless you and giggled too. They had a fun and sweet time. +Anna and her mom went to the market. They wanted to buy some food for lunch. Anna saw many things at the market. She saw apples, bananas, carrots, cheese, bread, and more. She wanted to eat them all. She was very hungry. + +"Mom, can I have a banana?" Anna asked. + +"Not now, Anna. We have to pay for the food first. Then we can go home and eat," her mom said. + +Anna nodded. She held her mom's hand and walked to the cashier. The cashier put the food in a bag and gave them a receipt. Anna and her mom said thank you and goodbye. + +They walked out of the market. Anna saw a big truck. The truck was full of boxes. The boxes had pictures of toys on them. Anna liked toys. She wanted to see the toys. + +"Mom, can we see the toys?" Anna asked. + +"No, Anna. The toys are not for us. They are for the toy store. We have to go home and eat. We are both hungry," her mom said. + +Anna nodded. She held her mom's hand and walked to the car. They got in the car and drove home. Anna was still hungry, but she was also happy. She had food and toys at home. She liked going to the market with her mom. She hoped they would go again soon. The end. +Lily and Sam were best friends. They liked to play outside in the park. One day, it was mild and sunny, and they saw a big puddle on the grass. They ran to the puddle and jumped in it. They made big splashes and laughed. + +"Look, Lily, I can make a bigger splash than you!" Sam said. He jumped as high as he could and landed in the puddle with a loud splash. + +"No, you can't, Sam, I can make a bigger splash than you!" Lily said. She jumped as high as she could and landed in the puddle with a loud splash. + +They kept jumping and splashing, trying to outdo each other. They got wet and muddy, but they didn't care. They were having fun. + +But then, Sam had an idea. He saw a stick on the ground. He picked it up and said, "Lily, watch this!" He pushed the stick into the puddle and stirred it around. He made the water swirl and bubble. + +"Wow, Sam, that's cool!" Lily said. She wanted to try it too. She looked for another stick, but she couldn't find one. She saw Sam's stick in the puddle. She reached for it and said, "Sam, can I have a turn?" + +But Sam didn't want to share. He liked his stick. He said, "No, Lily, this is my stick. You can't have it." He pulled the stick away from Lily and pushed her back. + +Lily was surprised and sad. She fell on the grass and got more wet and muddy. She felt a tear in her eye. She said, "Sam, that's not nice. You hurt me. You're not my friend." + +Sam felt bad. He saw Lily crying. He realized he was mean. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I didn't mean to hurt you. You're my friend. Here, you can have the stick." + +He gave the stick to Lily and helped her up. He said, "Do you want to play with me again?" + +Lily smiled and nodded. She said, "Yes, Sam, I want to play with you again. Thank you for the stick." + +They hugged and went back to the puddle. They took turns stirring the water with the stick. They made more splashes and laughed. They were best friends again. +Lily loved music. She liked to sing and dance and clap her hands. She had a toy piano that made different sounds when she pressed the keys. She was very enthusiastic about playing music. + +One day, Lily wanted to play music outside. She took her toy piano and went to the garden. She saw a big puddle of water on the grass. She thought it would be fun to splash in the puddle. She put her toy piano on the ground and ran to the puddle. + +She jumped and kicked and splashed in the water. She laughed and shouted, "I'm playing music with the water!" She did not see that her toy piano was getting wet. The water started to soak into the piano and make it stop working. + +"Oh no!" Lily cried. She ran back to her toy piano and picked it up. She tried to press the keys, but they did not make any sound. She shook the piano, but it did not help. She was very sad. She had broken her toy piano. + +Her mom came to the garden and saw what had happened. She hugged Lily and said, "I'm sorry, sweetie. Your toy piano is soaked. It can't play music anymore. But don't worry, we can get you a new one. And next time, be careful with your toys. Water can damage them." + +Lily nodded and said, "I'm sorry, mom. I was just having fun. I love music. Can we sing a song together?" + +Mom smiled and said, "Of course, we can. Let's sing your favorite song. Do you remember the words?" + +Lily nodded again and said, "Yes, I do. It goes like this: Twinkle, twinkle, little star..." +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play outside. One day, they go to the lake with their moms. The lake is big and blue. Lily and Ben want to swim in the lake. + +They put on their swimsuits and run to the water. Lily jumps in and splashes Ben. Ben laughs and splashes Lily back. They have fun in the lake. They see fish and frogs and ducks. They make bubbles and waves. + +But then, Ben feels something on his foot. He looks down and sees a big green weed. He thinks it is a snake. He is scared. He screams and runs out of the lake. He trips and falls on the sand. He cries. + +Lily hears Ben scream and runs to him. She sees the weed on his foot. She knows it is not a snake. She picks it off and throws it away. She says, "Ben, it is not a snake. It is a weed. It cannot hurt you. It is okay." + +Ben looks at Lily. He sees the weed. He feels silly. He is embarrassed. He says, "Lily, I am sorry. I was scared. I thought it was a snake. I am silly." + +Lily smiles and hugs Ben. She says, "Ben, you are not silly. You are brave. You swam in the lake. You had fun. Sometimes, we all get scared. It is okay." + +Ben smiles and hugs Lily back. He says, "Lily, you are right. I am brave. You are brave too. You helped me. You are a good friend. Thank you." + +They go back to the lake and play some more. They are happy. They are friends. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play with toys. Today, they have a new game. They have a big box and some paper. They want to make a rocket. + +They cut the paper and tape it to the box. They draw windows and stars on the paper. They put a cone on top of the box. They have a rocket now. They are happy. + +"Let's play with the rocket!" Tom says. "We can go to the moon!" + +"OK!" Mia says. "But how do we fly?" + +Tom thinks. He sees a ball. He has an idea. "We can use the ball!" he says. "We can throw it and catch it. If we catch it, we win. If we miss it, we lose." + +"Good idea!" Mia says. "But who goes first?" + +They look at the rocket. They see a number on the cone. It is a six. "We can use the number!" Tom says. "We can take turns to say a number. The one who says six goes first." + +"OK!" Mia says. "I start. One!" + +"Two!" Tom says. + +"Three!" Mia says. + +"Four!" Tom says. + +"Five!" Mia says. + +"Six!" Tom says. "I go first!" + +Tom picks up the ball. He throws it to Mia. Mia tries to catch it. She misses it.

She has a big book and many crayons. She writes her name, her mom's name, and her cat's name. She draws flowers, stars, and hearts. She is happy when she writes. + +One day, Lily goes to the park with her mom. She sees a big tire hanging from a tree. She wants to play with it. She asks her mom, "Can I swing on the tire, please?" + +Her mom says, "Yes, you can, but be careful. Hold on tight and don't let go. I will watch you." + +Lily runs to the tire and climbs on it. She holds on tight and swings back and forth. She feels the wind in her hair and the sun on her face. She laughs and says, "This is fun!" + +But then, the tire swings too high and too fast. Lily gets scared. She feels dizzy and sick. She wants to stop. She cries, "Mom, help me! I want to get off!" + +Her mom hears her and runs to her. She grabs the tire and slows it down. She helps Lily get off and hugs her. She says, "It's okay, Lily. You are safe. I am here. Do you feel better?" + +Lily nods and says, "Yes, thank you, mom. I don't like the tire anymore. It is too scary. Can we go home?" + +Her mom says, "Yes, we can. Let's go home and have some juice and cookies. Do you want to write in your book later?" + +Lily smiles and says, "Yes, I do. I want to write about the park and the tire. But I will write that the tire is not fun. It is bad." + +Her mom says, "Okay, you can write that. But remember, the tire is not bad. It is just a tire. Some people like it and some people don't. You can try it again another day, if you want. Or you can play with something else. There are many things to do in the park." + +Lily says, "Maybe I will try it again. But not today. Today I just want to write and be with you." + +Her mom says, "I love you, Lily. You are my brave and smart girl." + +They hold hands and walk home. Lily feels happy and safe. She likes to write. +Lily and Sam were best friends. They liked to play together every day.

They squeezed the lemons, mixed the sugar and water, and poured the lemonade into the cups. They waited for customers to come. + +Soon, a lady with a dog walked by. She saw the sign and smiled. She said, "Hello, kids. What a nice lemonade stand you have. Can I have a cup, please?" + +Lily and Sam nodded. They gave her a cup of lemonade and took her quarter. They said, "Thank you, lady. Enjoy your lemonade." + +The lady drank the lemonade and said, "Mmm, this is very good. You did a great job. And your dog is very cute. What is his name?" + +Lily and Sam looked at the dog. He was brown and fluffy. He wagged his tail and licked their hands. They said, "We don't know his name. He is not our dog. He followed us from the park. He seems very friendly and compassionate. He likes to play with us." + +The lady said, "Oh, I see. He must be lost. Maybe he has a tag on his collar. Can I check?" + +Lily and Sam said, "Sure, lady. We hope you can find his home." + +The lady bent down and looked at the dog's collar. She saw a tag that said, "Rusty. Call 555-1234". She said, "Look, kids. His name is Rusty and he has a phone number. I can call his owner and tell them where he is. Maybe they are looking for him and missing him." + +Lily and Sam said, "That would be very nice of you, lady. We are glad Rusty has a home. We like him, but we want him to be happy with his family." + +The lady said, "You are very kind and compassionate, kids. You made my day with your lemonade and your care for Rusty. Here, take another quarter. You deserve it." + +Lily and Sam said, "Thank you, lady. You are very kind, too. Have a nice day." + +The lady called Rusty's owner and waited for them to come. Lily and Sam gave Rusty a hug and a treat. They said, "Bye, Rusty. We will miss you, but we are happy for you. Be a good dog." + +Rusty barked and licked their faces. He was happy, too. He had a lot of fun with Lily and Sam, but he also wanted to see his family. + +Lily and Sam waved goodbye to Rusty and his owner. They felt good. They had a lot of fun and they also helped a friend.

They like to play with toys. One day, they find a big box. The box has many blocks inside. They are happy. + +They take out the blocks and make a tower. The tower is very tall. They want to see how tall they can make it. They put more and more blocks on top. + +"Look at our tower!" Lily says. "It is the best tower ever!" + +"Yes, it is!" Ben says. "But be careful. Do not break it." + +They are careful. But then, a big wind comes. The wind is cold. It blows hard. The tower shakes. Some blocks fall down. + +"Oh no!" Lily and Ben say. "The wind is breaking our tower!" + +They try to hold the tower. But it is too late. The tower falls down. All the blocks are on the ground. Lily and Ben are sad. + +They look at each other. They have tears in their eyes. They hug each other. + +"It is okay," Lily says. "We can make another tower. We still have many blocks." + +"Yes, we can," Ben says. "You are a kind friend. I am sorry the wind broke our tower." + +They smile. They wipe their tears. They pick up the blocks. They start to make a new tower. They are happy again. +Ben loves to play football with his big brother Tom. They go to the park and kick the ball to each other. Ben tries to run fast and catch the ball, but sometimes he misses and falls down. Tom helps him up and says, "Don't worry, Ben. You are doing great. You just need to practice more." + +One day, they see some other boys playing football on the other side of the park. They are older and bigger than Ben and Tom. They have a shiny new ball and they wear matching shirts. Tom says, "Let's go and play with them. Maybe they will let us join their team." + +Ben feels scared. He thinks the other boys are too good and too strong. He says, "No, Tom. I don't want to go. They will laugh at us and take our ball. Let's play here by ourselves." + +Tom says, "Come on, Ben. Don't be afraid. They are just boys like us. Maybe they will be nice and teach us some tricks. We can make new friends and have fun." + +Ben shakes his head. He holds the ball tight and trembles. He says, "No, no, no. Please, Tom. Let's stay here." + +Tom sighs. He sees that Ben is really scared. He says, "Okay, Ben. We can stay here. But you have to promise me something. You have to promise me that you will try to be brave next time. You have to promise me that you will not let fear stop you from trying new things. Do you promise?" + +Ben nods. He says, "I promise, Tom. I will try to be brave. But can we play here for a little longer?" + +Tom smiles. He says, "Sure, Ben. We can play here for a little longer. But then we have to go home. It's getting late and mom will be waiting for us. And we have to drink some water. We are very dry and thirsty from playing so much." + +Ben smiles back. He says, "Okay, Tom. Let's play for a little longer. And then we can go home and drink some water. And maybe mom will have some cookies for us." + +They kick the ball to each other and laugh. They forget about the other boys and the shiny new ball. They are happy to play football with each other. They are happy to be brothers. +Anna loved to fly. She had a big red kite that she took to the park with her dad. She ran and ran and let the kite go up in the air. She felt the wind pull on the string and watched the kite dance in the sky. She was very happy. + +"Look, dad, look! My kite is flying so high!" she shouted. + +"I see, Anna, I see! You are doing a great job!" her dad said. He was proud of his daughter. + +But then, a big black bird came. It saw the kite and thought it was another bird. It flew towards the kite and tried to catch it with its beak. It made a loud noise and scared Anna. + +"Go away, bird, go away! That's my kite, not yours!" she cried. + +Her dad saw the bird and ran to help Anna. He pulled the string hard and made the kite go down. He saved the kite from the bird. He hugged Anna and checked the kite. It had a small hole, but it was still okay. + +"Are you okay, Anna? Don't worry, the bird is gone now. Your kite is still good. We can fix the hole later," he said. + +Anna nodded and smiled. She was glad her dad was there. She thanked him and gave him a kiss. + +"Can we fly the kite again, dad?" she asked. + +"Of course, Anna, of course. But first, let me give you a lecture on how to avoid birds when you fly a kite," he said. + +He was enthusiastic about kites and wanted to teach Anna more. He pointed to the sky and explained how to watch for birds and how to steer the kite. Anna listened and learned. She liked to hear her dad talk about kites. She liked to fly with him.

Lily draws her mom, dad, and brother with red, purple, and orange crayons. They are very proud of their pictures. + +They show their pictures to their mom and dad. Mom and dad smile and say they are very good. They say they will display the pictures on the fridge. Ben and Lily are happy. + +But then, Ben looks at Lily's picture. He sees that she used more crayons than him. He thinks her picture is better. He feels sad and angry. He says to Lily, "Your picture is not good. You used too many colors. My picture is better." + +Lily hears Ben. She feels hurt and mad. She says to Ben, "Your picture is not good. You used too few colors. My picture is better." + +They start to yell at each other. They say mean things. They try to grab each other's pictures. They tear the pictures. + +Mom and dad hear the noise. They come to the room. They see the torn pictures. They see Ben and Lily crying. They are sad and disappointed. + +They say to Ben and Lily, "Why did you do that? Your pictures were both good. You should not be competitive. You should be nice to each other. You are twins. You are family." + +Ben and Lily feel sorry. They say sorry to each other. They hug each other. They say sorry to mom and dad. They hug mom and dad. + +Mom and dad say, "It's okay. We love you both.

They dig and build with the sand. Sara makes a castle. Tom makes a road. They use their toys to decorate their sand creations. Sara puts her blue ball on top of her castle. Tom drives his red car on his road. They say, "Wow! We are good at making things!" + +But then a big dog comes to the sandbox. The dog is curious. He sniffs and barks. He sees the blue ball and the red car. He thinks they are his toys. He grabs the blue ball with his mouth. He runs away with the red car in his paws. Sara and Tom are sad and scared. They cry and call their moms. + +Their moms come to the sandbox. They see the dog and the toys. They are careful. They do not want to make the dog angry. They talk to the dog in a nice voice. They say, "Please, give us the toys. They are not yours. They belong to Sara and Tom. They are their friends. They want to play with them." + +The dog listens to the moms. He is a good dog. He does not want to hurt Sara and Tom. He drops the blue ball and the red car. He wags his tail. He says, "Woof! Woof! I'm sorry. I did not know. I just wanted to play too." + +Sara and Tom are happy. They get their toys back. They are not mad at the dog. They understand. They say, "It's okay. We forgive you.

They are friends. They have fun. The end. +Lily was a lawyer. She helped people who had problems. She liked her job, but she was very busy. Sometimes she worked all day and all night. She did not have time to play or rest. + +One day, Lily had a big problem. She had to go to court and talk to a judge. But she also had to go to her son's school and see his play. She did not know what to do. She wanted to do both things, but she could not. + +She called her friend Tom, who was also a lawyer. She asked him for help. "Tom, can you go to court for me? I have to see my son's play. It is very important to him and to me." + +Tom was a good friend. He said, "Of course, Lily. I can go to court for you. Don't worry. I know your case very well. I will do a good job." + +Lily was happy. She thanked Tom and hung up the phone. She decided to go to her son's play. She put on her coat and grabbed her bag. She ran to her car and drove to the school. + +When she got there, she saw her son on the stage. He was wearing a funny hat and a big smile. He saw her too and waved. Lily waved back and sat down. She looked around and saw many other parents and children. The room was full of noise and laughter. Lily felt warm and happy. She thought, "This is much better than an empty court." +Anna was a big girl. She liked to do things by herself. She was independent. She could brush her teeth, put on her shoes, and pack her bag for school. She did not need help from Mom or Dad. + +One day, Anna went to school with her bag. She said goodbye to Mom and Dad and walked to the bus. She saw her friend Lily on the bus. Lily was happy to see Anna.
