He thought the dog would be his friend. + +The dog saw Tom and the sausage. The dog did not want to be Tom's friend. The dog wanted to eat the sausage. And Tom. The dog ran to Tom and jumped on him. The dog bit Tom's hand and took the sausage. Tom screamed and cried. Sam ran to Tom and tried to help him. But it was too late. The dog bit Tom again and again. Tom was hurt and bleeding. Sam was scared and sad. + +The end. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toys on the carpet. They liked to make up stories with their dolls and cars. Lily was the princess and Ben was the knight. They had a castle and a dragon and a horse. + +"Help, help!" Lily said in a high voice. "The dragon is coming to get me!" + +"Don't worry, princess!" Ben said in a low voice. "I will save you with my sword!" + +He ran to the dragon and pretended to fight it. The dragon was a big green pillow that Mom had given them. Lily clapped and cheered for Ben. + +But then they heard Mom calling from the kitchen. "Lily, Ben, hurry! It's time for lunch!" + +Lily and Ben looked at each other. They did not want to stop playing. They wanted to finish their story. + +"Can we play a little more, Mom?" Lily asked. + +"No, sweeties, you have to eat now. You can play later," Mom said. "Hurry, or your food will get cold!" + +Lily and Ben sighed. They put their toys away and got up from the carpet. They felt sad to leave their castle and their dragon and their horse. + +"Maybe we can play again after lunch," Ben said. + +"Maybe," Lily said. "But I hope the dragon doesn't get lonely." + +They walked to the kitchen, holding hands. They saw Mom smiling at them. She had made their favorite food: macaroni and cheese. + +"Look what I have for you!" Mom said. "You must be hungry after playing so hard." + +Lily and Ben smiled back. They forgot about their sadness. They loved Mom and they loved macaroni and cheese. + +"Thank you, Mom!" they said. + +They sat down at the table and ate their lunch. They told Mom about their story and their toys. Mom listened and laughed and praised them. + +Lily and Ben felt happy. They had a good Mom and a good carpet and a good imagination. They did not need anything else. They were not poor at all. +Tom and Mia were playing in the sand. They had a big spade and a bucket. They wanted to make a castle. They dug and dug and filled the bucket with sand. Then they turned the bucket over and lifted it up. A sand tower came out. + +"Wow, look at our castle!" Tom said. "It is so big and strong!" + +Mia nodded. She was happy. She wanted to make the castle more beautiful. She looked around and saw some shells and stones. She ran to get them. She put them on the sand tower. They sparkled in the sun. + +"Look, Tom, I found some jewels for our castle!" Mia said. "They are so pretty!" + +Tom smiled. He liked the jewels. He wanted to make the castle more powerful. He looked around and saw a stick. He ran to get it. He put it on top of the sand tower. It looked like a flag. + +"Look, Mia, I found a sword for our castle!" Tom said. "It is so powerful!" + +Mia clapped. She liked the sword. She wanted to play with it. She reached for the stick. But Tom did not want to share. He pulled the stick back. + +"No, Mia, it is my sword!" Tom said. "You have the jewels!" + +Mia frowned. She did not like that. She wanted the sword too. She pulled the stick harder. + +"No, Tom, it is our sword!" Mia said. "We share the castle!" + +Tom and Mia pulled and pulled. They did not see the big wave coming. The wave was very wet and fast. It crashed on the sand. It washed away the castle. It took the bucket, the spade, the shells, the stones and the stick. + +Tom and Mia gasped. They were wet and sad. They looked at the empty sand. Their castle was gone. + +"Where is our castle?" Tom said. "Where is our sword?" + +"Where are our jewels?" Mia said. "Where is our bucket?" + +They started to cry. They hugged each other. They were sorry. They wished they had shared. + +A man and a woman came. They were Tom and Mia's parents. They saw the children crying. They felt sorry for them. They dried them with a towel. They gave them a hug and a kiss. + +"What happened, Tom and Mia?" the man said. "Why are you crying?" + +"We made a castle, but the wave took it away!" Tom said. "We lost our sword and our jewels!" + +"We did not share, and we fought!" Mia said. "We were bad!" + +The man and the woman smiled. They understood. They had been children too. They knew how to make them feel better. + +"It's okay, Tom and Mia," the woman said. "You can make another castle. You can find another sword and jewels. You can share and play nicely." + +"Really?" Tom and Mia said. They looked hopeful. + +"Really," the man and the woman said. They nodded. + +They took the children by the hand. They walked along the sand. They looked for a new spot. They found a new bucket and a new spade. They started to make a new castle. They had fun. They were happy. They learned a lesson. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play outside in the sun. But they need to put lotion on their skin first. Lotion helps them not get hurt by the sun. + +"Anna, where is the lotion?" Ben asks. He looks in the bathroom and the bedroom, but he cannot find it. + +"I don't know, Ben. Maybe Mom has it," Anna says. She follows Ben to the kitchen, where Mom is making lunch. + +"Mom, can we have some lotion, please?" Ben says. "We want to play outside, but we need lotion first." + +"Of course, sweeties. Here you go," Mom says. She gives them a bottle of lotion. "But remember, you also need to wear hats and drink water. The sun is very hot today." + +"Thank you, Mom. We will," Anna says. She and Ben take the lotion and go to the backyard. They put lotion on their faces, arms, and legs. Then they put on their hats and grab their water bottles. + +They have fun playing outside. They run, jump, and swing. They do not get hurt by the sun. They are happy and healthy. + +The moral of the story is: Lotion is important to protect your skin from the sun. You should always use it when you play outside. You should also listen to your mom and follow her advice. She knows what is best for you. +Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big band in the park. The band has drums, trumpets, and flags. The band makes loud music. Tom and Sue want to join the band. + +"Can we play with you?" Tom asks the band leader. + +"No, you are too small. This is a march. You need to know how to march and play music. Go away!" the band leader says. + +Tom and Sue are sad and angry. They do not like the band leader. He is mean. They complain to each other. + +"That is not fair. We want to march and play music too. We can do it. Let's show him!" Sue says. + +"OK, let's do it. We can make our own band. We have toys and pots and pans. We can make noise too!" Tom says. + +They run to their homes and get their toys and pots and pans. They make drums, trumpets, and flags out of them. They put on hats and scarves. They look like a band. They go back to the park. They march and play music behind the big band. They make more noise than the big band. They have fun. + +The band leader hears them. He turns around. He sees Tom and Sue. He is surprised and angry. He tries to make them stop. + +"Hey, you! Stop that! You are ruining our march! You are making too much noise! Go away!" he shouts. + +But Tom and Sue do not stop. They do not listen to him. They keep marching and playing music. They smile and laugh. They are glad. They are having more fun than the big band. They are the best band in the park. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park today. They liked to swing and slide and run. They saw a big dog near the trees. The dog was hairy and brown. It had a long tail and a wet nose. + +"Look, a dog!" Lily said. "Can we pet it?" + +"I don't know," Tom said. "Maybe it is not nice." + +They walked closer to the dog. The dog saw them and barked. It ran towards them. Lily and Tom were scared. They did not want the dog to bite them. + +"Help!" Lily screamed. "Go away, dog!" + +Tom screamed too. He picked up a stick and waved it at the dog. The dog stopped and growled. It did not like the stick. + +"Whoa, whoa, calm down!" a voice said. It was a man. He came out of the trees. He had a leash in his hand. He was the dog's owner. + +"Sorry, kids, he is not mean, he just wants to play," the man said. He put the leash on the dog. He smiled at Lily and Tom. "His name is Rex. Do you want to say hi?" + +Lily and Tom looked at each other. They were still scared, but they were also curious. The dog did not bark anymore. He wagged his tail and licked his nose. + +"Maybe," Lily said. "He is very hairy." + +"He is," the man said. "He likes to be brushed. Do you want to try?" + +Lily and Tom nodded. They took turns brushing the dog. The dog liked it. He made happy noises. Lily and Tom laughed. They were not scared anymore. They made a new friend. +Tom and Lily are brother and sister. They like to play together, but sometimes they fight. One evening, they are playing with their toys in the living room. Tom wants to play with the red car, but Lily has it. He tries to take it from her, but she holds it tight. + +"Give me the car!" Tom says. + +"No, it's mine!" Lily says. + +They pull and tug, and the car breaks. They hear a loud snap, and see the wheel fall off. They both feel guilty. They know their mom will be angry. + +They hear their mom call from the kitchen. "Tom, Lily, time for dinner!" + +They look at each other, and then at the broken car. They don't know what to do. They are afraid to tell their mom. + +They decide to hide the car under the sofa. They hope their mom won't find it. They run to the kitchen, and pretend nothing happened. + +They sit at the table, and eat their dinner. They don't talk much. They feel guilty. They wonder if their mom will ever find out. +Lila and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big tree with many leaves. They want to climb the tree. + +They hold hands and go to the tree. They find a part of the tree that is low. They help each other to go up. They are happy. They see many things from the tree. They see birds, cars, and people. + +But the sun is hot. It makes them sweat. They feel thirsty. They want to go down. But they forget how. They look for the part of the tree that is low. They cannot find it. They are scared. They cry for help. + +No one hears them. No one sees them. They are alone in the tree. They hug each other. They hope someone will come. But no one comes. They are very hot. They are very thirsty. They are very sad. + +They see a leaf that is green. They think it is water. They want to drink it. They reach for the leaf. But the leaf is not water. The leaf is poison. They do not know. They eat the leaf. They feel sick. They fall from the tree. They do not move. They do not breathe. They are gone. +Anna and Ben were best friends. They liked to play pretend. One day, they decided to pretend they were kings and queens. They used pillows, blankets and toys to make a palace in the living room. + +"Welcome to our palace!" Anna said to Ben. "We have everything we need here. We have a big bed, a soft couch, a shiny crown and a lot of books." + +Ben looked around and smiled. "This is a very nice palace. But do you know what else we need?" he asked. + +"What?" Anna said. + +"We need some friends to share it with. Can we include Lily and Tom in our game? They are our neighbors and they are very kind." + +Anna nodded. "Of course we can. That is a good idea. The more friends, the more fun. Let's go and invite them." + +They put on their coats and shoes and ran outside. They knocked on Lily and Tom's door. Lily and Tom opened it and saw Anna and Ben. + +"Hi, Anna and Ben. What are you doing?" Lily asked. + +"We are playing pretend. We have a palace in our living room. Do you want to join us?" Ben said. + +Lily and Tom's eyes widened. "A palace? That sounds amazing. We would love to join you. Can we bring some snacks and toys?" they said. + +"Sure, you can. The more snacks and toys, the better. Come on, let's go to our palace." Anna said. + +They all ran back to Anna and Ben's house. They entered the living room and gasped. The palace was beautiful. It had many colors, shapes and patterns. It looked very expensive. + +"Wow, this is the best palace ever. You are very creative, Anna and Ben." Lily said. + +"Thank you, Lily. We are happy you like it. And we are happy you are here. You are our friends and we want to share our palace with you." Ben said. + +They all hugged and smiled. Then they played pretend for a long time. They had a lot of fun. They were kings and queens in their palace. And they were very happy. +Tim and Mia like to play in the garden. They have a big box of beans that they use to make art and pretend food. One day, they find a shiny bean that is different from the others. It is red and green and has a hole in it. + +"Look, Mia, a magic bean!" Tim says. He puts the bean in his pocket and runs to show their mom. + +"Wait, Tim, don't touch it!" Mia says. She remembers that mom told them some beans are dangerous. They can make you sick or hurt you. She runs after Tim, but he is too fast. + +Tim finds mom in the kitchen. He takes out the bean and shows it to her. "Look, mom, a magic bean!" he says. + +Mom sees the bean and gasps. She knows it is a firework bean. It can explode and make a loud noise and a bright light. She grabs the bean from Tim and runs to the door. She tells Tim and Mia to stay away and cover their ears. + +Mom opens the door and throws the bean outside. She releases it as far as she can. The bean flies in the air and lands on the grass. It makes a big boom and a flash of colors. Tim and Mia watch from the window and clap their hands. + +"Wow, mom, that was cool!" Tim says. + +"Yes, but it was also very dangerous," mom says. She hugs Tim and Mia and tells them to never touch a firework bean again. She says they can play with the other beans, but they have to be careful and listen to her. + +Tim and Mia say they are sorry and they love mom. They go back to the garden and play with the safe beans. They make a picture of a firework bean and show it to mom. She smiles and says it is very pretty. +Lily and Max love to play catch with their ball. They throw the ball to each other and try to catch it. Sometimes they miss and the ball rolls away. Then they run after it and laugh. + +One day, they see a big bird in their yard. It has brown feathers and a red thing on its head. It makes a funny sound: "Gobble, gobble, gobble!" Lily and Max think it is a turkey. They want to catch it and play with it. + +They run towards the turkey with their ball. The turkey sees them and runs away. It is faster than Lily and Max. It jumps over the fence and goes to the next yard. Lily and Max follow it. They think it is a game. + +But the next yard belongs to Mr. Jones. He is not happy to see Lily and Max and the turkey. He is angry and shouts at them. He says the turkey is his pet and he loves it. He says they should not chase it and scare it. He says they should go back to their own yard. + +Lily and Max are sorry. They did not know the turkey was a pet. They think it is adorable and they just wanted to be friends with it. They say sorry to Mr. Jones and the turkey. They go back to their own yard and play catch with their ball. They hope the turkey is not mad at them. They hope they can see it again and say hello. +Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play together. Today, they go to the library with their moms. The library has many books. Sara and Tom can choose one book each to read. + +Sara likes stories about animals. She sees a book with a big lion on the cover. She picks it up and shows it to Tom. "Look, Tom, this is a book about lions. Lions are big and strong. They live in Africa. Do you want to read it with me?" + +Tom shakes his head. He likes stories about people. He sees a book with a picture of a castle on the cover. He picks it up and shows it to Sara. "Look, Sara, this is a book about history. History is about what people did a long time ago. They lived in castles and wore funny clothes. Do you want to read it with me?" + +Sara shakes her head. She thinks history is boring. She wants to read about animals. Tom thinks animals are boring. He wants to read about history. They do not agree on what book to read. + +Their moms see them and smile. They have an idea. They say to Sara and Tom, "Why don't you both read your books and then tell each other what you learned? That way, you can share your stories and learn something new. You can be creative and make up your own endings too. What do you think?" + +Sara and Tom think this is a good idea. They nod and say, "Okay, mom." They go to a cozy corner and start reading their books. They are happy and curious. They wonder what their friend will tell them later. They like to be creative and choose their own books. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play in their room. They have many toys and books. They also have a big clock on the wall. The clock tells them when it is time to eat, sleep, or go out. + +One day, Lily and Ben are bored. They want to do something fun. They look at the clock. It is almost noon. They know that mom will call them soon for lunch. They have an idea. + +"Let's play dare!" Lily says. "I dare you to do something silly or scary. If you do it, you win. If you don't, you lose." + +"OK!" Ben says. "I like dare. You go first. What do you dare me to do?" + +Lily thinks hard. She sees the clock. She has a naughty idea. She smiles. + +"I dare you to touch the clock!" she says. "You have to climb on the chair and reach the clock. But be careful. The clock is high and loud. It might fall or ring." + +Ben looks at the clock. He feels a little scared. But he also feels brave. He wants to win the dare. He nods. + +"OK. I will touch the clock. Watch me!" he says. He gets on the chair and stretches his arm. He is almost there. He can see the cute face of the clock. It has two eyes, a nose, and a mouth. + +But then, something happens. The clock makes a loud noise. It is noon. The clock says "Ding dong, ding dong, ding dong!" Ben is startled. He loses his balance. He falls off the chair. He lands on the floor. He cries. + +Lily hears the noise. She sees Ben on the floor. She feels sorry. She runs to him. She hugs him. + +"I'm sorry, Ben. I didn't mean to scare you. Are you OK?" she says. + +Ben stops crying. He looks at Lily. He sees that she is sorry. He smiles. + +"I'm OK, Lily. It's OK. You didn't scare me. You just surprised me. The clock is loud. But it is also cute. I like the clock. I win the dare!" he says. + +Lily and Ben laugh. They are happy. They hear mom calling them for lunch. They get up and run to the kitchen. They forget about the clock. They are hungry. They love lunch. They love each other. They are twins. +Tim and his dog Spot were best friends. They liked to play in the park, chase balls and run around. Spot was a loyal dog. He always stayed by Tim's side and listened to him. + +One day, Tim and Spot saw a big cat in the park. The cat was black and white and had a long tail. Spot barked at the cat and ran after it. The cat hissed and scratched Spot's face. Spot yelped and ran back to Tim. + +"Spot, are you okay?" Tim asked. He saw a red mark on Spot's face. It was a scratch from the cat. Tim felt sorry for Spot. He hugged him and said, "Don't worry, Spot. I will take you to the vet. The vet will make you better." + +Tim and Spot walked to the vet. The vet was a nice lady who liked animals. She looked at Spot's face and said, "This is a small scratch. It will heal soon. But I will give Spot a stitch to close it. It will not hurt much. Spot is a brave dog." + +The vet gave Spot a stitch. She put a bandage on his face and gave him a treat. Spot wagged his tail and licked the vet's hand. He was happy. He thanked the vet and said, "Woof, woof!" + +Tim and Spot went back to the park. They saw the cat again. The cat was sitting on a fence and looked smug. Spot barked at the cat and said, "You are a mean cat. You hurt me. But I am not afraid of you. I have a stitch and a bandage. And I have Tim. He is my best friend. He is loyal. He loves me." + +The cat snorted and said, "You are a silly dog. You have a stitch and a bandage. You look funny. And you have Tim. He is a little boy. He is weak. He can't protect you." + +Tim heard the cat and felt angry. He said, "You are a rude cat. You have no friends. You are lonely. And you have no stitch and no bandage. You are ugly. And you have no Tim. He is a big boy. He is strong. He can protect Spot." + +The cat was scared of Tim. He jumped off the fence and ran away. He never bothered Spot again. Tim and Spot smiled and hugged. They were happy. They had each other. They were loyal. They were best friends. +Ben and Lily liked to sail. They had a small boat that they took to the lake. They liked to feel the wind and the water. They liked to see the fish and the birds. + +One day, they decided to sail at night. They asked their mom and dad if they could. Mom and dad said yes, but they had to be careful and wear life jackets. They also gave them a flashlight and a whistle. + +Ben and Lily sailed under the stars. They saw the moon and the clouds. They heard the crickets and the frogs. They felt happy and excited. + +"Look, Lily, a shooting star!" Ben said. "Make a wish!" + +"I wish we could sail forever!" Lily said. + +They smiled and hugged. They were having a successful night. + +But then, they saw a big shadow in the water. It was moving fast and making waves. It was a boat, a big boat. It was coming towards them. + +"Ben, what do we do?" Lily asked. She was scared. + +"Quick, turn on the flashlight and blow the whistle!" Ben said. He was brave. + +They did as Ben said. They flashed the light and blew the whistle. They hoped the big boat would see them and stop. + +The big boat saw them and stopped. It was a police boat. The police officer came to them and asked them what they were doing. + +"We are sailing, sir," Ben said. + +"Sailing at night? That's very dangerous, kids. You could have been hurt or lost. Where are your parents?" the officer asked. + +"They are at the shore, sir. They gave us permission, sir," Lily said. + +The officer shook his head. He was not happy. He told them to follow him to the shore. He called their parents on his radio. + +Mom and dad were waiting for them. They were worried and angry. They hugged them and scolded them. They thanked the officer and apologized. + +Ben and Lily felt sorry and ashamed. They realized they had made a mistake. They promised to never sail at night again. They learned a lesson. + +They still liked to sail, but only in the day. They still felt the wind and the water. They still saw the fish and the birds. They still made wishes on the stars. But they also listened to their mom and dad. They also respected the rules. They also stayed safe. They were still successful sailors. +Lily and Max were playing with a rope in the yard. They liked to swing the rope and make shapes with it. But they did not like to share the rope. + +"I want the rope!" Lily said. She pulled the rope hard. + +"No, I want the rope!" Max said. He pulled the rope harder. + +The rope was rough and hurt their hands. They both wanted the whole rope for themselves. They did not want to separate the rope. + +"Stop it!" Mom said. She came out of the house and saw them fighting. "You are hurting each other and the rope. You need to separate the rope and take turns." + +"But I want the rope!" Lily and Max said at the same time. + +Mom sighed. She took the rope from them and cut it in half with scissors. She gave one half to Lily and one half to Max. + +"There, now you each have a rope. But you need to be careful. The rope is rough and can scratch you. And you need to be nice. Sharing is caring." + +Lily and Max looked at their half-ropes. They were not happy. They wanted the whole rope. But they did not want to make Mom angry. They decided to try to play with their half-ropes. Maybe they could still make shapes with them. Maybe they could even join them together and make a longer rope. Maybe they could learn to share. +Anna was a big girl who wanted to go to university. She liked to learn new things and read many books. She had a brown bag where she kept her pencils and papers. She dreamed of going to a big school where she could study more and make new friends. + +One day, her mother told her that they had to move to another town. Anna was very sad and angry. She did not want to leave her home and her friends. She did not want to go to a new school where she did not know anyone. She cried and cried and said, "I don't want to go! I want to stay here and go to university!" + +Her mother hugged her and said, "I know, my dear, I know. But sometimes we have to do things that we don't like. We have to move because daddy got a new job. He will work hard to save money for us. And you can still go to university when you grow up. You can study anywhere, as long as you have your brown bag and your books. And you can make new friends in the new school. They will like you because you are smart and kind." + +Anna wiped her tears and looked at her mother. She felt a little better. She said, "OK, mommy, I will try. But can I keep my brown bag and my books?" + +Her mother smiled and said, "Of course, my dear, of course. They are yours. And you can always write to your old friends and visit them someday. Now, let's pack your things and get ready to go. We have a big adventure ahead of us." + +Anna nodded and hugged her mother. She still felt sad, but she also felt brave. She knew that she could face the change and still follow her dreams. She learned that sometimes we have to cry, but we also have to try. + +The moral value of the story is: We should be adaptable and resilient when we face challenges or changes in life. We should not give up on our goals or our friends, but we should also be open to new opportunities and experiences. +Sara and Ben were twins who liked to play in the attic. The attic was full of old things that their grandma gave them. They had books, toys, clothes, and pictures. Sometimes they pretended to be pirates, or knights, or explorers. + +One day, they found a big box that they had never seen before. It was dusty and heavy. They opened it and saw a shiny violin. Sara picked it up and tried to play it. She made a loud noise that hurt their ears. + +"Stop, stop!" Ben said. "You don't know how to play that. It's not a toy. It's a gifted thing. Grandma said so." + +Sara put down the violin and looked at Ben. "How do you know?" she asked. "Did you see it before?" + +Ben nodded. "Yes, I did. I sneaked into the attic one night and saw grandma playing it. She was very good. She told me it was her special thing. She said she learned it from her dad, who learned it from his dad, and so on. She said it was a family thing that we should unite with." + +Sara felt sorry for making the noise. She hugged Ben and said, "I'm sorry, Ben. I didn't know. Can you show me how to play it?" + +Ben smiled and hugged her back. "Sure, Sara. I can show you. But we have to be careful. It's very old and fragile. And we have to ask grandma first. Maybe she can teach us both. She said she wanted to pass it on to us someday." + +They put the violin back in the box and closed it. They ran downstairs to find grandma and ask her about the gifted thing in the attic. They hoped she would say yes and unite them with the music. +Tom and Mia were friends in the classroom. They liked to play with the colorful toys and draw with the crayons. But sometimes they got bored and wanted to see what was outside. + +One day, they saw a big window in the classroom. It had a latch that they could open. They decided to escape and have an adventure. They waited until the teacher was busy and then they opened the window and climbed out. + +They ran across the grass and saw a lot of things. They saw flowers, birds, cars, and people. They also saw a big dog that barked at them. They got scared and ran away. They realized they did not know where they were or how to get back to the classroom. + +They started to cry and wish they had not escaped. They missed their teacher and their friends. They were sorry for being naughty. Then they heard a voice calling their names. It was the teacher. She had seen them run away and followed them. She was angry but also relieved. She hugged them and took them back to the classroom. + +Tom and Mia learned a lesson. They learned that escaping was not fun and that they should listen to the teacher and stay in the classroom. They also learned that the classroom was a safe and happy place where they could learn and play. They said sorry to the teacher and promised to be good. They were glad to be back with their friends and the colorful toys. +Lily and Sam like to play with their toy cars. They make them zoom on the floor, on the table, and on the sofa. They pretend they are drivers and talk to each other. + +"Beep beep, I am fast!" Sam says. + +"Beep beep, I am faster!" Lily says. + +They zoom their cars until they see a book on the shelf. It has a picture of a cat and a hat on the cover. + +"What is that?" Sam asks. + +"It is a poem book. Mommy reads it to me sometimes. It is funny and silly," Lily says. + +"Can you read it to me?" Sam asks. + +"OK, but we have to get it first. It is high on the shelf," Lily says. + +They put their cars down and stand on their toes. They reach for the book, but it is too high. They try to jump, but they still cannot get it. + +"Maybe we can use a chair," Sam says. + +"Good idea," Lily says. + +They find a chair and push it to the shelf. They climb on the chair and grab the book. They are happy and proud. + +"Yay, we did it!" they say. + +They sit on the sofa and open the book. Lily reads the first poem to Sam. It is about a cat and a hat and a fish and a dish. They laugh and smile. They like the poem. They zoom their cars again and make them say the words of the poem. They have fun. +Sam and Ben are brothers. They like to play soccer. One day, they go to the stadium with their dad. The stadium is very big and busy. There are many people and cars. + +Sam and Ben hold their dad's hand. They walk to the gate. They show their tickets to the man. The man says, "You can go in, but you have to separate. You are in different seats." + +Sam and Ben are confused. They do not want to separate. They want to sit together and watch the game. They look at their dad. Their dad says, "Don't worry, boys. You will be close to each other. You will see me and I will see you. We will cheer for the same team. It will be fun." + +Sam and Ben nod. They follow their dad. Their dad takes them to their seats. Sam sits on the left and Ben sits on the right. They can see each other across the aisle. They wave and smile. They can also see their dad in the middle. He waves and smiles too. + +The game starts. Sam and Ben clap and shout. They see the players run and kick the ball. They see the goals and the flags. They enjoy the game. They are happy. They do not mind to separate. They know they are still together. +Lila and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park and look for shiny rocks. They called them minerals. They had a big box of minerals at home. + +One day, they saw a new slide in the park. It was very tall and twisty. Lila and Ben were excited. They wanted to try it. + +"Let's go, Lila!" Ben said. "It looks fun!" + +"OK, Ben!" Lila said. "But be careful!" + +They ran to the slide and climbed up the ladder. Ben went first. He slid down very fast. He felt dizzy when he reached the bottom. He laughed. + +"Wow, that was awesome!" he said. "Come on, Lila!" + +Lila followed him. She slid down too. She felt dizzy too. She did not laugh. She felt sick. + +"Ben, I don't like it!" she said. "It made me feel bad!" + +Ben saw that Lila was pale and sad. He felt sorry for her. + +"I'm sorry, Lila," he said. "I didn't know you would feel bad. Do you want to go home?" + +Lila nodded. Ben helped her up and they walked home. They left their minerals in the park. + +The next day, they went back to the park. They saw a boy playing with their minerals. He smiled at them. + +"Hi, I'm Tom," he said. "I found these minerals. They are very pretty. Do you want to play with me?" + +Lila and Ben smiled back. They liked Tom. They shared their minerals with him. They played together. They did not go on the slide. They had more fun. + +The moral of the story is: Not everyone likes the same things. It is important to respect your friends' feelings and preferences. Sharing is caring. +Tom and Amy are playing with blocks. They like to build towers and houses and cars. Tom is very intelligent. He knows how to make different shapes and colors with the blocks. Amy likes to copy Tom and learn from him. + +"Look, Amy, I made a square with four blocks. Can you make a square too?" Tom asks. + +"Yes, Tom, I can make a square. See, I did it!" Amy says, showing her square. + +"Good job, Amy! You are very smart. Now, can you make a triangle with three blocks?" Tom says. + +Amy thinks for a minute. She tries to make a triangle, but it is hard. She puts one block on top of two blocks, but it falls down. She tries again, but it falls down again. + +"I can't make a triangle, Tom. It is too hard. How do you make a triangle?" Amy says. + +Tom smiles. He likes to help Amy. He shows her how to make a triangle. He puts one block on the floor, then he puts two blocks on the sides of the first block. He makes sure the blocks touch each other. + +"See, Amy, this is a triangle. It has three sides and three corners. Can you make a triangle like this?" Tom says. + +Amy looks at Tom's triangle. She tries to make one like his. She puts one block on the floor, then she puts two blocks on the sides of the first block. She makes sure the blocks touch each other. + +"I did it, Tom! I made a triangle! Thank you for showing me!" Amy says. + +Tom and Amy hug each other. They are happy. They like to play with blocks and learn new things. They are very intelligent. They do not drop the blocks. They keep them in a box. They will play with them again tomorrow. +Lily and Ben were young twins who lived on a farm with their mom and dad. They liked to play with the animals, especially the horses and the cows. One day, they decided to explore the big barn where the hay was stored. They climbed up the ladder and jumped into the soft hay. + +"Look, Ben, I found a ball!" Lily said, holding up a red and white ball that someone had left in the barn. "Let's play with it!" + +"Okay, Lily, but be careful. Don't kick it too hard or it might break something," Ben said, taking the ball from his sister. He threw it to her and she caught it. + +They tossed the ball back and forth, laughing and having fun. They did not see the angry bull that had escaped from its pen and was looking for a way out. The bull saw the open barn door and ran towards it, hoping to find freedom. But as he passed by the ladder, he heard a loud noise from above. It was the ball that Lily had kicked with all her might, and it hit the bull right on the nose. + +"Ouch!" the bull mooed, feeling a sharp pain. He was so mad that he turned around and charged at the ladder, knocking it down with his horns. He heard two screams from the hay loft, but he did not care. He ran out of the barn and into the fields. + +Lily and Ben were scared and stuck. They could not get down without the ladder, and they did not know where the bull had gone. They hugged each other and hoped that their mom and dad would find them soon. + +"Help! Help!" they shouted, hoping someone would hear them. + +Luckily, their mom and dad heard their cries and came to the barn. They saw the broken ladder and the angry bull in the distance. They quickly got another ladder and climbed up to the hay loft. They hugged their children and made sure they were not hurt. + +"Lily, Ben, what happened?" their mom asked, worried. + +"We were playing with the ball, and Lily kicked it, and it hit the bull, and he knocked down the ladder, and we were scared," Ben explained, in a rush. + +"I'm sorry, mom, I didn't mean to kick it so hard," Lily said, feeling guilty. + +"It's okay, sweetie, you didn't know. But next time, be more careful and don't play in the barn without us. The barn is not a safe place for young kids. The bull could have hurt you," their dad said, sternly. + +"We understand, dad. We won't do it again," Lily and Ben said, nodding. + +Their mom and dad smiled and kissed them. They carried them down the ladder and took them back to the house. They gave them some cookies and milk and told them a story. Lily and Ben felt better and learned their lesson. They never played in the barn again. +Lily loved her trumpet. She got it for her birthday from her grandma. She liked to blow it and make loud noises. She played it every day in her room. + +One day, she saw a big stain on her trumpet. It was brown and sticky. She did not know what it was. She was worried. She thought her trumpet was broken. She ran to her mom and showed her the stain. + +"Mom, look at my trumpet! What is this?" she cried. + +Her mom smiled and took the trumpet. She looked at the stain and sniffed it. She knew what it was. + +"Lily, this is not a stain. This is chocolate. You must have eaten some candy and rubbed it on your trumpet by accident. Don't worry, we can clean it," she said. + +She took a cloth and some water and rubbed the chocolate off the trumpet. She gave it back to Lily. It was shiny and clean again. + +"Thank you, mom! You are the best! Can I play my trumpet now?" Lily asked. + +"Of course, honey. But remember to wash your hands before and after you play. And don't eat candy while you play. You don't want to get more chocolate on your trumpet, do you?" her mom said. + +Lily nodded and hugged her mom. She ran back to her room and blew her trumpet happily. She was not worried anymore. She loved her trumpet. +Tim and Kim were twins who liked to play in their room. They had many toys and books and games. But they also liked to make a lot of noise. They would shout and laugh and bang and sing. They did not care if they bothered anyone else. + +One day, their mom had a headache. She asked them to be quiet and let her rest. But Tim and Kim did not listen. They kept making noise and having fun. They did not shut their door or their mouths. + +Their grandma came to visit. She heard the noise and went to their room. She saw the mess and the chaos. She was not happy. She said, "Tim and Kim, you are being very rude and selfish. You are hurting your mom and annoying your neighbors. You need to learn to be wise and respectful. Wise children know when to be loud and when to be quiet. They know how to shut their noise and open their ears. They know how to share their joy and care for others. Do you want to be wise children or foolish children?" + +Tim and Kim felt ashamed. They realized they had been wrong. They said, "We are sorry, grandma. We want to be wise children. We will shut our noise and open our ears. We will clean our room and help our mom. We will share our joy and care for others." + +Grandma smiled and hugged them. She said, "That's good, my dears. I am proud of you. You have learned a valuable lesson today. Remember, being wise is better than being noisy." +Ben and Lily are twins. They like to play with their toys in the living room. One day, they find a big orange in the kitchen. It is round and shiny and smells good. + +"Look, Lily, an orange!" Ben says. "Let's eat it!" + +"Okay, Ben, but we have to ask Mom first," Lily says. She is a good girl and listens to Mom. + +They run to the living room, where Mom is reading a book. They show her the orange and ask, "Mom, can we eat this orange, please?" + +Mom smiles and puts down her book. She says, "Yes, you can, but you have to share it. And you have to wash it first. Do you know how to wash an orange?" + +Ben and Lily nod. They know how to wash an orange. They go to the sink and turn on the water. They rub the orange with their hands until it is clean. Then they dry it with a towel. + +They take a knife from the drawer and ask Mom to help them cut the orange. Mom says, "Be careful with the knife. It is sharp and can hurt you. Let me cut the orange for you." + +She cuts the orange into four pieces. She gives one piece to Ben and one piece to Lily. She says, "Here you go. Enjoy your orange. It is sweet and juicy." + +Ben and Lily say, "Thank you, Mom." They bite into their orange pieces and make happy noises. They like the orange. It is sweet and juicy. + +They give the other two pieces to Mom and Dad, who are sitting on the couch. Mom and Dad say, "Thank you, Ben and Lily. You are very kind and generous." + +They all eat their orange pieces and smile. They are a happy family. They love each other and the orange. +Tom and Mia liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, like cars, dolls, blocks and books. But Tom's favorite toy was a big red zip. He could pull it and make it go fast. Mia liked the zip too, but she wanted to play with other toys as well. + +One day, Tom and Mia were playing in their room. Tom was pulling the zip and making it zoom around the floor. Mia was playing with her dolls and making them talk. She asked Tom if he wanted to play with her dolls. Tom said no, he only wanted to play with the zip. Mia felt sad and asked him again. Tom said no again, and pulled the zip harder. + +The zip went too fast and hit Mia's dolls. The dolls fell down and some of their clothes came off. Mia was angry and shouted at Tom. She said he was mean and he had to say sorry. Tom did not say sorry, he said he did not care. He pulled the zip again and made it hit Mia's blocks. The blocks fell down and some of them broke. Mia was very angry and cried. She said Tom had to stop and he had to share. Tom did not stop, he did not share. He pulled the zip again and made it hit Mia's books. The books fell down and some of their pages tore. Mia was very very angry and screamed. She said Tom had to go away and he had to give her the zip. Tom did not go away, he did not give her the zip. He pulled the zip again and made it hit Mia's face. + +Mia felt a lot of pain and blood came out of her nose. She cried louder and louder. Tom felt scared and sorry. He dropped the zip and ran to Mia. He said he was sorry and he did not mean to hurt her. He hugged her and tried to make her feel better. Mia pushed him away and said she hated him. She said he had destroyed her toys and her face. She said he was a bad brother and she did not want to play with him ever again. + +Mom heard the noise and came to the room. She saw the mess and the blood and the tears. She was shocked and angry. She asked what had happened and who had done it. Tom and Mia both pointed at each other and said it was their fault. Mom said they were both wrong and they had to clean up and say sorry. She said they had to be nice and share and play together. She said they had to love each other and not hurt each other. She said they had to be good children and not use the zip to destroy things. She said the zip was sour and it had to go away. She took the zip and threw it in the trash. Tom and Mia looked at the zip and felt sad. They wished they had played with it nicely. They wished they had played with each other nicely. They wished they had not destroyed their toys and their face and their fun. They wished they had not been sour. They wished they had been sweet. +Anna liked to play with her dog, Max. Max was a big, brown dog with a long tail and soft fur. He was very friendly and liked to lick Anna's face and wag his tail. Anna would throw a ball for Max and he would run and catch it and bring it back to her. + +One day, Anna and Max were playing in the park. They saw another dog, a small, white dog with a pink bow on its head. The dog was on a leash with a lady. Anna thought the dog was cute and wanted to pet it. She ran towards the dog and said, "Hello, doggy! Can I touch you?" + +But the dog did not like Anna. The dog barked and growled and showed its teeth. The dog did not want Anna to come near it. The lady tried to pull the dog away, but it was too late. The dog bit Anna's face and made her cry. + +Max saw what happened and ran to help Anna. He barked and chased the dog away. He licked Anna's face and tried to make her feel better. Anna hugged Max and said, "Thank you, Max. You are a good dog. You are my friend." + +The lady said, "I'm so sorry, Anna. My dog is not friendly. He is scared of strangers. Are you okay?" She gave Anna a band-aid and a candy. Anna said, "I'm okay. It hurts a little, but Max helped me. He is friendly. He is not scared of strangers. He likes everyone." + +Anna and Max went home with Anna's mom. Anna's mom kissed Anna's face and said, "I'm proud of you, Anna. You are brave and kind.

That is not ours. That is stealing," Anna said. + +"Who cares? The driver is not looking. He is busy with his cell. Come on, Anna, don't be a baby," Ben said. + +He opened another box and took a toy robot. Anna shook her head. + +"No, Ben, I don't want to. That is wrong. Let's go back to the swings," Anna said. + +She left the truck and ran to the swings. Ben followed her, but he was angry. + +"You are no fun, Anna. You are a goody-goody," Ben said. + +He put the toys in his backpack and swung with Anna. But he did not feel happy. He felt guilty. + +Soon, the driver finished his call and came back to the truck. He saw the open boxes and the missing toys. He was very angry. + +"Hey, you kids, did you touch my boxes?" he shouted. + +He ran to the swings and saw Ben's backpack.

But I did not touch your boxes. I told him not to. But he did not listen to me," she said. + +The driver thought for a moment. He saw that Anna was honest and Ben was sorry. He decided to give them a break. + +"Okay, okay, I will not call the police. But you have to promise me something. You have to promise me that you will never touch anything that is not yours. You have to promise me that you will learn to respect other people's things. And you have to promise me that you will say sorry to me and to the people who own these toys.

And we will be good friends." + +They ran back to the swings and played. They felt happy and free. They did not need to steal to have fun. They had each other. And they had their own toys at home. They learned to be honest and respectful. And they learned to listen to their conscience. +Tom is a cute dog. He likes to play with his owner, Sam. Sam is a boy who loves Tom very much. They have fun every day in the park. + +One day, Tom sees a ball in the park. He runs to get it. He thinks it is his ball. He does not see the other dog who owns the ball.

"We can't go to the park with a broken cart." + +Ben thinks for a moment. He has an idea. He runs to his house and comes back with some tape. He says, "I can solve the problem. I can tape the wheel to the cart. Then it will not fall off." + +He wraps the tape around the wheel and the cart. He tries to push the cart. It still makes a noise, but it moves better. + +"Wow, you are so smart, Ben!" Lily says. "You solved the problem. Now we can go to the park with our cart." + +They smile and hold hands.

And remember, always look both ways before you cross the road." The driver says. + +He waves to them. He drives away. + +Lily and Ben wave back. They go back to the park. They play some more. They have a good day. +Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play with scissors and paper. One day, they find a big book with many pictures in it. The book is on the shelf in the living room. They take the book and go to their room. + +"Look, Lily, this is a church. It has a big cross and a bell. Do you like it?" Tom says. + +"Yes, Tom, it is pretty. Can we cut it out and make a church for our toys?" Lily says. + +"OK, Lily, let's cut it out. But we have to be careful. Scissors are sharp and can hurt us." Tom says. + +They start to cut out the church from the book. They are very happy. They do not hear their mom coming upstairs. + +"Tom, Lily, what are you doing?" Mom says. She sees the book and the scissors and the paper. She is very angry. + +"Mom, we are making a church for our toys. See, it is nice." Lily says. + +"Nice? You are ruining the book! This is not a cheap book. This is a special book. It is a gift from Grandma. She loves this book. How could you do this?" Mom says. + +Tom and Lily are scared. They did not know the book was special. They did not want to make Mom angry. They did not want to hurt Grandma's feelings. + +"Mom, we are sorry. We did not know. We just wanted to play. Please do not be mad at us." Tom says. + +Mom sighs. She is still angry, but she loves her twins. She knows they are young and curious. She knows they need to learn. + +"Tom, Lily, I am not mad at you. But you have to understand. You cannot cut out things from books. Books are not for cutting. Books are for reading and learning and enjoying. Books are precious. You have to respect them. And you have to respect Grandma's gift. She gave you this book because she loves you and wants you to learn about the world. Do you understand?" Mom says. + +Tom and Lily nod. They understand. They feel sorry. They hug Mom and say they love her. They say they love Grandma too. They say they will not cut out things from books again. + +Mom smiles. She hugs them back and says she loves them too. She says they will call Grandma and say sorry and thank you. She says they will fix the book as best as they can. She says they can still make a church for their toys, but with other paper. She says they can go to the real church on Sunday and see the cross and the bell. She says they can learn more about the world from books and from her and from Grandma. + +Tom and Lily are happy. They say OK. They say they want to learn more. They say they want to go to the church. They say they want to read more books. They say they are sorry and thank you. They say they love Mom and Grandma and the world. +Sara and Ben are playing with water in the garden. They have a big hose that can spray water. They like to spray each other and the plants and the dog. + +"Spray me, spray me!" Ben shouts. He runs around the hose and tries to catch the water. + +"OK, OK!" Sara says. She sprays Ben with the hose and he laughs. He gets very wet and so does Sara. + +But then they hear Mom calling from the house. "Sara, Ben, time to come in! Lunch is ready!" + +They stop spraying and look at each other. They are hungry, but they are also having fun. + +"Can we play more after lunch?" Ben asks. + +"Maybe, if we eat fast and clean up," Sara says. + +They run to the exit of the garden. They see Mom waiting at the door. She smiles, but she also frowns. + +"Look at you two! You are soaked! And so is the dog!" Mom says. + +"Sorry, Mom, we were playing with the hose," Sara says. + +"It's OK, but you need to change your clothes. They don't fit you anymore. They are too small and too wet," Mom says. + +She takes them inside and gives them dry clothes. They change and then go to the kitchen. They see a big plate of sandwiches and a bowl of fruit. + +"Yum, yum!" Ben says. + +"Thank you, Mom!" Sara says. + +They sit down and eat their lunch. They are happy and full. They wonder if they can play with the hose again later. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a big ball and a small shovel. They throw the ball and catch it. They dig holes and fill them up. + +One day, they see a big dog in the park. The dog is black and brown. It has sharp teeth and loud bark. It looks fierce. Tom and Mia are scared. They run away from the dog. They hide behind a tree. + +The dog sees the ball. It likes the ball. It runs to the ball and bites it. The ball pops. The dog is angry. It barks louder. + +Tom and Mia are sad. They want their ball back. They wait for the dog to go away. But the dog does not go away. It stays near the ball. + +Tom has an idea. He whispers to Mia. He says, "Let's bury the ball. Then the dog will not see it. Then we can get it later." + +Mia nods. She says, "OK. But we have to be quiet and fast." + +They sneak to the ball. They use the shovel to dig a hole. They put the ball in the hole. They cover it with dirt. They pat the dirt. They say, "Bye, ball. We will come back for you." + +The dog does not notice them. It is busy sniffing the air. It smells something else. It runs away. + +Tom and Mia are happy. They hug each other. They say, "We did it! We buried the ball. We are brave." + +They go to the tree. They write their names on the dirt. They say, "This is our spot. This is where our ball is." + +They smile. They go home. They tell their moms and dads what they did. They say, "We will come back tomorrow. We will get our ball. We will play again." +One day, a little bird was trapped in a metal cage. He was very sad and scared. He wanted to fly in the sky and sing with his friends. He did not like the cage at all. + +The man who caught the bird was mean. He wanted to sell the bird for money. He did not care about the bird's feelings. He put the cage in his car and drove away. + +The bird saw a beautiful flower on the road. It was red and yellow and smelled nice. The bird wished he could touch the flower and feel its soft petals. He tried to push the cage door with his beak, but it was too strong. + +Then he saw a big truck coming. It was very loud and fast. The man did not see the truck. He was busy looking at his phone. The truck hit the car and made a big crash. The cage flew out of the car and landed on the ground. The door broke open. + +The bird was free! He quickly flew out of the cage and towards the flower. He was so happy and grateful. He thanked the flower for giving him hope and courage. He said, "You are the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. You helped me escape from the metal cage. You are my friend." + +The flower smiled and said, "You are welcome, little bird. You are also beautiful and brave. You did not give up on your dreams. You are my friend too." + +The bird and the flower became friends. They sang and danced together. They learned from each other. They were happy. + +The moral of the story is: Never lose hope, even when you are in a bad situation. There is always something beautiful and good in the world. Friendship can help you overcome any obstacle. +Ben and Mia are friends. They like to play outside. They have a big box of chalk.

Ben says. "And no truck can erase it!" + +They smile and hug. They are proud of their new mountain. They play and climb on the wall. They have more fun. +Lily liked to make things with paper and glue. She cut out shapes and stuck them together. She made a loop with a long strip of paper and glued the ends. She made more loops and joined them to make a chain. She was happy with her chain. + +But Tom did not like Lily's chain. He thought it was ugly and boring. He wanted to play with his cars and trucks. He did not want to see Lily's chain on the table. He was angry and mean. + +He grabbed Lily's chain and pulled it hard. He tore it into pieces and threw them on the floor. He laughed and said, "Your chain is ugly and stupid. I don't like it." + +Lily was sad and mad. She saw her chain broken and scattered. She worked hard to make it and she liked it.

They had a hammer, a screwdriver, a saw and some nails. + +"Look, Lily, I can fix the ceiling!" Ben said. He climbed on the bed and reached for the lamp. He wanted to make it brighter. + +"Be careful, Ben!" Lily said. "That is not a toy. It is hot and dangerous. You can get hurt." + +But Ben did not listen. He hit the lamp with his hammer.

You might get hurt or lost. We should tell Mom or Dad." + +But Lily did not listen. She was stubborn and greedy. She took off her shoes and socks and went into the river. She reached for the shiny thing. + +But it was not a ring. It was a bottle cap. Lily was disappointed and angry.

But you can share him. He can be your dog too, when we visit. How does that sound?" + +Lily thought for a moment. She knew uncle Ben loved Max very much. She did not want to take him away from him. She said, "That sounds good, uncle Ben. I can share Max. He can be our dog. Thank you, uncle Ben. You are the best uncle ever." + +Uncle Ben hugged Lily and Max. He said, "You are very welcome, Lily.

He wanted more. He pushed the cup with his paw. + +The cup fell from the table and broke on the floor. The juice spilled everywhere. The cup was not harmless. It had sharp pieces that could hurt.

She said, "I know you are upset, but you should not leave your cup on the table. It is not safe. And you should not be mean to Max. He did not know better. He is just a cat. He loves you and wants to play with you. You should forgive him and be nice to him." + +Sara thought about what her mom said. She realized that she was wrong to leave her cup on the table and to yell at Max. She felt sorry and ashamed. She said, "You are right, mom. I am sorry. I will not leave my cup on the table again. And I will be nice to Max. I love him too. Can I go and find him and say sorry?" + +Her mom smiled and said, "Of course, you can. That is very kind of you. I am proud of you."

He takes the book and throws it in the trash can. + +Sara feels bad. She says, "No, Tom, that is not nice. Someone worked hard on the exam. They might come back and look for it. We should give it back to them." + +Tom says, "But how do we know who it is? There are many people in the park. Maybe they don't care about the exam." + +Sara says, "We can ask around. Maybe someone knows. Or we can wait here and see if someone comes. We should be gentle and kind to others. How would you feel if someone threw away your toy or your drawing?" + +Tom thinks for a moment. He says, "You are right, Sara. I would feel sad and angry. I'm sorry, I was not gentle and kind. Let's get the exam out of the trash and find the owner." + +They take the exam out of the trash and clean it. They ask some people in the park, but no one knows who it is. They decide to wait on the bench and hope that someone comes. + +After a while, a girl comes running to the bench. She looks worried and scared. She says, "Oh, thank you, thank you! You found my exam! I left it here by mistake. I was so nervous and forgot it. This is very important for me. I need to pass it to go to the next grade. You are very nice and helpful." + +Sara and Tom smile. They say, "You're welcome. We are glad we could help you. We hope you do well on your exam. Good luck!" + +The girl hugs them and thanks them again. She runs away with her exam. Sara and Tom feel happy and proud.

You are a good sister," Ben said. + +Soon, the man came and opened the door. He helped Ben out of the elevator and gave him a hug. He also gave Lily a hug and thanked her for being brave and kind. + +Lily and Ben hugged each other and said they were sorry. They learned that it was better to share and help than to be selfish and mean. They also learned that the elevator was not a toy and that they should be careful. They went to the top floor together and enjoyed the view. They were happy and proud. +Ben and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to dig holes and make mud pies. But Lily was very bossy. She told Ben what to do and how to do it. She said he was too slow and too messy. Ben did not like that. + +One day, Lily saw a big red ball in the corner of the garden. She wanted to play with it.

He did not want to lose his friend. But he did not want to do what she said. He wished he could escape. He looked around. He saw a big green gate. It had a handle. He wondered what was behind it. He decided to find out. + +He ran to the gate. He reached for the handle. He turned it. The gate opened. He saw a new world. There were trees and flowers and birds and butterflies. There was a stream and a bridge and a hill. He felt happy. He wanted to explore. + +He forgot about Lily. He forgot about the ball. He forgot about the mud pies. He stepped through the gate.

Why are you crying?" Anna and Ben told her what happened. They both said, "It was his/her fault!" + +Mom said, "I'm sorry that your bandage tore, but it was an accident. You both wanted to play with it, but you did not share. Sharing is nice. Can you say sorry to each other and be friends again?" Anna and Ben looked at each other. They felt sorry for making each other sad. They said, "Sorry, Anna/Ben. I'm sorry I tore your bandage. Can we play together again?" They hugged and smiled. Mom said, "That's good. I'm proud of you. I have another bandage for your doll. Do you want to help me put it on?" Anna and Ben said, "Yes, please!" They followed Mom to the house and played with their dolls happily. +Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play in the garden. They had a big squash plant that grew many squashes. Some were small and some were big. Lily and Tom liked to pick the small ones and eat them. They were sweet and juicy. + +One day, Lily saw a very big squash on the plant. It was wide and round and green. She wanted to pick it and take it home. She asked Tom, "Can I have the big squash? I want to show it to my mom." + +Tom said, "No, you can't have it. It is mine. I saw it first. You can have the small ones." + +Lily was sad and angry. She said, "That is not fair. You have many squashes. You can lend me one. Please, Tom, be nice." + +Tom said, "No, I won't lend you anything. Go away. The big squash is mine." + +Lily went away, crying. She thought, "Tom is mean. He is not a good friend. I will find a way to get the big squash." + +The next day, Lily came back to the garden. She had a plan. She brought a big basket and a knife. She saw that Tom was not there. He had gone to the park with his dad. Lily thought, "This is my chance. I will take the big squash and run away. Tom will never know." + +She went to the squash plant and cut the big squash with the knife. She put it in the basket and lifted it. It was very heavy. She could barely carry it. She started to walk away, but she did not see the hole in the ground. She tripped and fell. The basket rolled away and the big squash broke into pieces. Lily was hurt and scared. She cried, "Help, help!" + +Tom came back from the park and heard Lily's cry. He ran to the garden and saw what had happened. He saw the broken squash and the basket and the knife. He understood what Lily had done. He was angry and sad. He said, "Lily, why did you do that? You stole my squash. You broke it. You are a bad friend." + +Lily said, "I'm sorry, Tom. I was wrong. I wanted the big squash so much. I thought you were mean. I did not think about your feelings. Please, forgive me." + +Tom said, "I don't know, Lily. You hurt me and the squash. You have to say sorry to the squash too. It was alive and growing. You killed it." + +Lily said, "I'm sorry, squash. I did not mean to hurt you. You were beautiful and big. I wish I had not taken you." + +Tom and Lily looked at the squash. They felt sorry for it. They decided to bury it in the ground and plant a new seed. They hoped that a new squash would grow.

"The sun will come soon!" + +"I hope it will be a big and bright sun," Max said, holding his sister's hand. "And I hope it will make the flowers open and the birds sing." + +They sat on the grass and ate their bread and jam. They watched the sky change colors from dark to pink to orange.

Lily and Max clapped and cheered. They felt the sun's warmth on their faces and smiled. + +"Wow, it's so beautiful!" Lily said, hugging her brother. "We did it, Max! We saw the sunrise!" + +"We did, Lily!" Max said, hugging her back. "And it was worth it!" +Lily liked to eat prunes. They were sweet and soft and good for her tummy. She had a large bag of prunes in her room. She did not want to share them with anyone. + +One day, her brother Ben came into her room. He saw the bag of prunes on her bed. He was hungry and curious. He wanted to try one. + +"Can I have a prune, Lily?" he asked. + +"No, they are mine!" Lily said. "Go away!" + +"Please, Lily, just one prune. I promise I won't take more." Ben said. + +Lily thought for a moment. She liked her brother, but she loved her prunes. She did not want to give him any. But she did not want to be mean either. + +"Okay, fine. You can have one prune. But only one. And you have to promise not to tell Mom or Dad." Lily said. + +"I promise, Lily. Thank you." Ben said. He took one prune from the bag and ate it. It was sweet and soft and good for his tummy. He liked it a lot. He wanted more. + +He looked at the bag of prunes. There were still many left. Lily did not notice. She was busy playing with her dolls. Ben thought he could take one more prune. Just one more. He reached for the bag. + +"Hey, stop!" Lily shouted. She saw Ben trying to take another prune. She was angry and sad. He broke his promise. He was not nice. She grabbed the bag of prunes and hugged it. She glared at Ben. + +"You lied to me, Ben! You said you would only take one prune. But you took two! You are a bad brother! Go away and never come back!" Lily said. + +Ben felt sorry and ashamed. He knew he did wrong. He did not mean to hurt Lily. He wanted to say sorry.

Maybe we will hear some good news about the bad germ." + +Ben and Lily sit on the couch with Mom. They see a man and a woman talking on the TV. They have masks on their faces.

"Maybe soon we can go to the park and see our friends again. But until then, we have to be careful and wash our hands often. OK?" + +"OK, Mom!" Ben and Lily say. They hug Mom and smile.

You should be sorry and say sorry." + +Tim felt sorry and said sorry. He said, "Mom, I wanted to fly with the ball. I thought it was a balloon. I did not know it would break. I did not mean to be bad." + +His mom said, "I know, Tim. But you should be careful and ask before you play with something. You should respect other people's things and your own things.

You have to be careful and listen to Lily." Mom said, as she took the matches away. + +"Lily, Tom is bald and that's okay. You can't force him to have hair. You have to respect his choice and be nice to him." Mom said, as she gave the doll back. + +Tom and Lily nodded and said sorry to each other. They hugged and made up. + +"Can we play something else?" Tom asked, as he smiled. + +"Sure, what do you want to play?" Lily asked, as she smiled back. + +Mom smiled too and watched them play. She was glad they learned to accept each other and their differences. +Lily and Tom were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They gave him a carrot nose and two buttons for eyes. They were very happy. + +But then they felt cold and hungry. They wanted to go inside and have some cocoa. They ran to the door and knocked. But no one answered. The door was locked. + +"Oh no!" Lily said. "Mom is not here. She went to the store. How can we get in?" + +Tom looked around. He saw a window. It was open a little bit. He had an idea. + +"Maybe we can help each other," he said. "I can lift you up and you can crawl through the window. Then you can open the door for me." + +Lily nodded. She trusted Tom. He was her big brother. He was strong and smart. + +Tom put his hands on Lily's waist and lifted her up. She reached for the window sill and pulled herself up. She was careful not to hurt herself on the glass. She crawled through the window and landed on the floor. + +She ran to the door and unlocked it. She opened it and saw Tom smiling. + +"Good job, Lily!" he said. "You are very brave and clever." + +"Thank you, Tom!" she said. "You are very kind and helpful." + +They hugged each other and went inside. They took off their coats and boots and warmed up by the fire. They made some cocoa and drank it from their favorite mugs. They shared some cookies and marshmallows. They were very cozy and happy. They loved each other very much. +Tom was a hunter. He liked to go to the woods and look for animals. He had a big gun and a big hat. He was very fat and loud. + +One day, he saw a big bear in the woods. He wanted to shoot the bear and take it home. He ran after the bear with his gun. The bear was scared and ran away. + +Tom followed the bear to a big cave. He did not see the sign that said "Danger". He went inside the cave with his gun. He saw the bear in the dark. He aimed his gun and said "Bang!" + +But the bear was not alone. There were many other bears in the cave. They heard the gun and saw Tom. They were angry and hungry. They roared and ran to Tom. + +Tom was very scared. He tried to run away, but he was too fat and slow. The bears caught him and ate him. He was not a good hunter. He was a bad seat for the bears. The end. +Tom and Ben are brothers. They like to play with their toys. Tom has a big motorcycle toy. Ben has a small car toy. They share their toys and have fun. + +One day, Tom and Ben find a candy bar in the kitchen. It is big and sweet. They both want to eat it. They start to fight over the candy bar. + +"Give me the candy bar!" Tom says. "It is mine!" + +"No, it is mine!" Ben says. "I saw it first!" + +They pull and tug at the candy bar. They are very angry. They do not want to share. + +Suddenly, the candy bar splits in two. The pieces fall on the floor. A dog runs into the kitchen. It sees the candy bar. It eats the candy bar. It is very happy. + +Tom and Ben are very sad. They have no candy bar. They have no toys. They have no fun. + +They look at each other. They feel sorry. They hug and say sorry. + +"I am sorry, Tom," Ben says. "I should have shared with you." + +"I am sorry, Ben," Tom says. "I should have shared with you, too." + +They go to their room. They find their toys. They share their toys and have fun. They learn to be kind and generous. They are happy. +Ben and Sam are brothers. They like to help Mom and Dad with chores. Sometimes, Mom and Dad give them money for their work. They can buy candy or toys with their money. + +One day, Mom and Dad give them ten coins. They are shiny and round. Ben and Sam are happy. They want to buy candy. They go to the store with Mom. The store has many kinds of candy. They are colorful and sweet. + +Ben sees a big chocolate bar. It is brown and smooth. He wants to buy it. He says to Sam, "Look, Sam, a big chocolate bar! Let's buy it with our money. We can split it and share it. It will be delicious." + +Sam sees a bag of gummy bears. They are small and chewy. He wants to buy it. He says to Ben, "No, Ben, I don't want chocolate. I want gummy bears. They are more fun. Let's buy them with our money. We can split them and share them. They will be delicious." + +Ben and Sam start to argue. They both want different candy. They don't want to share. They pull the money from each other. The coins fall on the floor. They make a loud noise. Mom hears them and comes to see. + +Mom is not happy. She says to Ben and Sam, "Boys, stop fighting. You should be nice to each other. You can buy candy with your money, but you have to agree. You can split the money and buy different candy, or you can split the candy and share it. What do you want to do?" + +Ben and Sam think for a moment. They look at the candy. They look at each other. They feel sorry. They say to Mom, "We are sorry, Mom. We don't want to fight. We want to share. We can split the money and buy both candy. Then we can split the candy and share it. It will be more delicious." + +Mom smiles. She says to Ben and Sam, "That's a good idea. I'm proud of you. You are good brothers. Now, pick up the money and let's go to the cashier. Then you can enjoy your candy." + +Ben and Sam pick up the money. They go to the cashier. They buy the chocolate bar and the gummy bears. They go home with Mom. They split the candy and share it. They say to each other, "This is delicious. Thank you for sharing. I love you, brother." + +The end. +Lily and Ben went to the zoo with Mom and Dad. They saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and birds. But Lily and Ben liked the gorillas best. They were big and hairy and funny. + +One gorilla was very silly. He made faces at the children and threw bananas at them. Lily and Ben laughed and clapped. They wanted to play with the gorilla. They ran to the fence and waved at him. + +"Hello, gorilla!" Lily said. "Do you want to be our friend?" + +The gorilla nodded and grinned. He picked up a banana and threw it to Lily. Lily caught it and peeled it. She took a bite and said, "Thank you, gorilla!" + +Ben wanted a banana too. He asked the gorilla, "Can I have a banana, please?" + +The gorilla looked around and saw another banana. He reached for it, but another gorilla grabbed it first. The other gorilla was bigger and meaner. He growled at the silly gorilla and ate the banana. + +The silly gorilla was sad and angry. He yelled at the mean gorilla, "Hey, that was my banana! Give it back!" + +The mean gorilla yelled back, "No, it's mine! Go away!" + +The silly gorilla and the mean gorilla started to fight. They pushed and pulled and bit and scratched. They made a lot of noise and dust. + +Lily and Ben were scared and sad. They did not like to see the gorillas fight. They wanted them to be friends and share. They looked at Mom and Dad and said, "Can we go now?" + +Mom and Dad nodded and said, "Yes, let's go. Fighting is not nice. Maybe the gorillas will calm down later." + +Lily and Ben said goodbye to the gorillas and hoped they would be happy again. They walked to the next animal, which was a big and friendly elephant. The elephant sprayed water from his trunk and made them wet and giggly. Lily and Ben forgot about the gorillas and had fun with the elephant. They learned that sharing is better than fighting, and that being silly is better than being mean. +Lila was a camel who lived in the desert. She liked to go to the oasis with her friends, where they could drink water and eat grass. One day, she saw a new camel at the oasis. He was big and brown, with a long neck and a hump. Lila thought he was ugly. + +"Who are you?" she asked him. + +"I am Omar," he said. "I came from far away. I am looking for a new home." + +Lila did not want him to stay. She said, "You are ugly. You do not belong here. Go away." + +Omar felt sad. He said, "I am sorry. I did not mean to bother you. I just need some water and food. I have been walking for a long time." + +Lila did not care. She said, "Go away. Go away. Go away." + +Omar turned around and walked away. He did not know where to go. He was thirsty and hungry and tired. + +Lila felt proud. She said to her friends, "I made him go away. He was ugly. He did not belong here." + +Her friends did not agree. They said, "Lila, you were mean. He was not ugly. He was different. He needed help. You should have been kind." + +Lila did not listen. She said, "I do not care. He was ugly. He did not belong here." + +The next day, Lila went to the oasis again. But she did not find water or grass. She found sand and rocks. The oasis was gone. A big wind had blown it away. + +Lila was shocked. She said, "Where is the oasis? Where is the water? Where is the grass?" + +Her friends said, "The oasis is gone. The wind took it away. We have to find a new one." + +Lila was scared. She said, "How will we find a new one? We do not know where to go. We will die of thirst and hunger." + +Her friends said, "Maybe Omar knows. He came from far away. He may have seen other oases. Let us go and find him. Maybe he will help us." + +Lila felt ashamed. She said, "But I was mean to him. I told him to go away. I called him ugly. He will not help us." + +Her friends said, "You were mean, but you can say sorry. You can be kind. You can be his friend. Maybe he will forgive you." + +Lila realized she was wrong. She said, "You are right. I was mean, but I can say sorry. I can be kind. I can be his friend. Maybe he will forgive me." + +So Lila and her friends went to look for Omar. They hoped he would help them. They hoped he would be their friend. + +The moral of the story is: Do not judge others by their looks. Be kind and helpful to those in need. You never know when you may need their help. +Tim and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. They liked to make up stories with their dolls and cars. Tim had a big red car that he called Zoom. Lily had a small yellow doll that she called Sunny. + +One day, they heard a loud noise outside. They ran to the window and saw a big truck with a lot of boxes. The truck stopped in front of their house. A man came out and started to take the boxes to the door. + +"What is he doing?" Tim asked. + +"Maybe he has a present for us," Lily said. + +They ran to the door and opened it. The man saw them and smiled. + +"Hello, kids. I have some boxes for your mom and dad. Can you help me find the right ones?" + +He showed them a label on one of the boxes. It had their name and address on it. + +"This one is for you. Can you take it inside?" + +Tim and Lily nodded. They tried to lift the box, but it was too heavy. + +"It's too heavy," Tim said. + +"Don't worry, I'll help you," the man said. He picked up the box and carried it inside. He put it on the floor and gave them another label. + +"Can you find the box with this label?" + +Tim and Lily looked at the label. It had a different name and address on it. + +"This is not for us," Lily said. + +"Who is it for?" Tim asked. + +The man looked at the label and frowned. + +"Oh, I'm sorry. I made a mistake. This is for the house next door. I'll take it back." + +He took the box and went back to the truck. + +Tim and Lily followed him. They saw another man coming out of the house next door. He looked angry and frightened. + +"Hey, what are you doing with my box?" he shouted. + +The first man tried to explain, but the second man did not listen. He grabbed the box and opened it. He saw a lot of books and papers inside. + +"These are my books and papers. They are very important. How dare you take them?" + +He threw the box at the first man. The books and papers flew out and landed on the ground. + +Tim and Lily gasped. They felt sorry for the first man. They ran to him and helped him pick up the books and papers. + +"Are you okay?" Lily asked. + +"Thank you, kids. You are very kind. I'm okay, but I'm very sorry. I should have checked the labels more carefully." + +He smiled and gave them a hug. + +"Don't worry, it's not your fault. You were trying to help. Maybe you can help me deliver the rest of the boxes to the right houses." + +Tim and Lily nodded. They liked to help. They took the labels and the boxes and followed the man to the truck. + +They had fun delivering the boxes and meeting new people. They learned to read the labels and to be careful. They also learned that some people are nice and some people are not. But they did not let that stop them from being friendly and helpful. They were happy and proud. +Sara and Ben were playing outside with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and see how high it could go. Sometimes the ball would go so high that it touched the sky. + +One day, they saw a big cloud in the sky. It was dark and scary. They heard a loud noise like a lion roaring. It was thunder. They saw a bright light like a snake flashing. It was lightning. They felt drops of water falling on their heads. It was rain. + +"Let's go inside, Sara. The sky is angry and disgusting. It will hurt us," Ben said. + +"No, Ben. The sky is not angry and disgusting. It is just making noise and water. It will not hurt us. It is making the plants and the animals happy. They need water to grow and live. We need water too. The sky is good and kind," Sara said. + +They kept playing with their ball in the rain. They laughed and splashed and had fun. They did not mind getting wet and dirty. They were brave and happy. + +The rain stopped and the sun came out. They saw a beautiful thing in the sky. It was a rainbow. It had many colors like a flower. They smiled and pointed at the rainbow. + +"Look, Ben. The sky is saying sorry and thank you. It is giving us a gift. The sky is not disgusting. It is wonderful," Sara said. + +"You are right, Sara. The sky is wonderful. And you are wonderful too. You taught me something today. You taught me to not be afraid of things that are different and loud. You taught me to be kind and grateful. You taught me to become a better person," Ben said. + +They hugged each other and went inside. They told their mom and dad about their adventure. Their mom and dad were proud of them. They gave them a hug and a kiss and a cookie. They lived happily ever after. + +The end. +Lila liked to cook with her mom. They made cakes and pies and soup. Lila helped to stir and pour and taste. She felt happy and proud. + +One day, a fox came to their house. He knocked on the door and said, "Hello, I am a hungry fox. Can I have some of your food?" Lila's mom was not home, but Lila was curious. She opened the door and saw the fox. + +The fox had a big tail and sharp teeth. He looked impressive, but also scary. He smiled and said, "You are a nice girl. Do you want to show me what you can cook?" Lila nodded and took him to the kitchen. + +She showed him the cake and the pie and the soup. The fox licked his lips and said, "They all look yummy. Can I have a bite?" Lila said, "OK, but only a little." She cut a small piece of cake and gave it to the fox. + +The fox ate the cake and said, "That was good. Can I have more?" Lila said, "No, that was enough. You have to share." The fox frowned and said, "But I am still hungry. Can I have some of the pie?" Lila said, "No, that is for later. You have to wait." The fox growled and said, "But I don't want to wait. I want to eat it all. And I want to eat you too!" + +Lila was scared and ran to the door. She shouted, "Help, help, there is a bad fox in the kitchen!" Her mom came back and heard her cry. She saw the fox and grabbed a broom. She hit the fox and said, "Go away, you greedy fox. You are not welcome here." The fox ran away and never came back. + +Lila hugged her mom and said, "Thank you, mom. You are brave and smart. I love you." Her mom hugged her back and said, "I love you too, Lila. You are kind and generous. But next time, don't open the door to strangers. They might not be nice like you." Lila nodded and said, "OK, mom. I will be careful." They went back to the kitchen and enjoyed their food. They were happy and safe. +Sara loves to hug her grandma. Grandma is very kind and gives Sara many things. Sara likes to receive toys, books and stickers from grandma. But Sara likes to receive something else more. + +When Sara hugs grandma, she feels something smooth on her neck. It is a necklace. Grandma wears a necklace with a shiny heart. Sara thinks the necklace is very pretty. She asks grandma if she can touch it. + +Grandma smiles and says yes. She tells Sara that the necklace is very special. Grandma says she received the necklace from her mom when she was a little girl. Grandma says her mom loved her very much and gave her the necklace to show it. + +Sara feels happy and says she loves grandma very much too. She gives grandma a big hug and a kiss. She says she wants to receive a necklace like grandma's when she grows up. Grandma says maybe she will. She says Sara is very sweet and smart and deserves a smooth necklace with a shiny heart. +Lily wanted to play with her dolls, but her brother Max took them away. He said they were his soldiers and he put them in his cabinet. Lily was very sad and angry. She tried to open the cabinet, but it was locked. + +"Give me back my dolls, Max!" she shouted. + +"No, they are mine now. Go away, Lily!" he said. + +Lily ran to her mom and told her what Max did. Mom was not happy. She went to Max's room and knocked on the door. + +"Max, open the door right now. You need to share with your sister. Taking her dolls was very bad," she said. + +Max did not want to open the door. He liked his soldiers and he did not like Lily. He thought she was annoying and silly. He ignored his mom and played with the dolls. + +Mom did not give up. She found the key to the cabinet and opened the door. She saw Max with the dolls and took them away. + +"Max, you are in trouble. You need to say sorry to Lily and give her back her dolls. You cannot seem to play nice with your sister. You need to learn how to share and be kind," she said. + +Max was very mad. He did not want to say sorry or give back the dolls. He cried and kicked his cabinet. + +Lily was very happy. She got her dolls back and hugged them. She thanked her mom and smiled. + +"Mom, you are the best. I love you and my dolls. Max is very bad. He needs to be nice to me," she said. + +Mom hugged Lily and smiled. + +"I love you too, Lily. You are a good girl. Maybe Max will be nice to you later. He needs to calm down and think about what he did," she said. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play outside. But today, it is raining. They cannot go to the park or ride their bikes. They are sad. + +"Let's play inside," Anna says. "We can make a fort with pillows and blankets." + +"OK," Ben says. "That sounds fun." + +They go to Anna's room and find some pillows and blankets. They also find some clothes in Anna's closet. They are interesting clothes. They are not Anna's clothes. They are her mom's clothes. + +"Look at this dress," Anna says. "It is big and pink and has flowers on it." + +"Can I try it on?" Ben asks. + +"Sure," Anna says. "And I will try on this hat. It is funny and has feathers on it." + +They put on the clothes and look at themselves in the mirror. They laugh. They look silly. + +"You look like a princess," Anna says to Ben. + +"And you look like a bird," Ben says to Anna. + +They pretend to be a princess and a bird. They have fun. They forget about the rain. +Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big pile of snow in the park. They wanted to make a snowman and have a snowball fight. They put on their hats, scarves and gloves and ran to the park. + +They worked hard to roll big balls of snow and stack them up. They found a carrot, some buttons and a hat to make the snowman's face and clothes. They were very happy with their snowman. They named him Frosty and gave him a hug. + +Then they started to throw snowballs at each other. They laughed and ran and dodged. But soon they felt very cold and wet. Their noses were red and their teeth were chattering. They started to shiver. + +"Let's go home, Lily," Ben said. "We can come back tomorrow and play some more." + +"OK, Ben," Lily said. "But we have to say goodbye to Frosty first. He might be lonely." + +They ran back to the snowman and said goodbye. They told him they would see him again soon. They waved and left. + +The next day, they woke up and looked out the window. They saw that the sun was shining and the snow was melting. They ran to the park, hoping to see Frosty. But when they got there, they saw that Frosty was gone. There was only a puddle of water, a carrot, some buttons and a hat. + +They felt very sad. They had lost their friend. They wished they had stayed with him longer. + +"Maybe we should have played with Frosty more, Lily," Ben said. "Maybe he would have stayed with us longer." + +"Maybe, Ben," Lily said. "But we can't change what happened. We can only remember the good times we had with him. He was a great snowman. He made us happy." + +They picked up the carrot, the buttons and the hat. They decided to keep them as a souvenir of Frosty. They hugged each other and smiled. + +They learned that snowmen don't last forever, but friendship does. They learned to cherish the moments they have with their friends, and to be grateful for them. They learned that sometimes goodbye is not the end, but the beginning of a new adventure. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys and watch videos. One day, they find a big box in the garage. The box has a picture of a glow stick on it. Anna and Ben want to see what is inside. + +They open the box and see many glow sticks. They are happy.

They sit on the couch and hold the glow sticks. + +But the glow sticks are not good. They have a bad smell. They make Anna and Ben feel sick. They start to cough and sneeze. They drop the glow sticks on the floor. The glow sticks leak a bad liquid. The liquid stains the carpet and the couch. It also burns Anna and Ben's skin. They cry and scream. + +Mom and Dad hear the noise and run to the living room. They see the mess and the glow sticks. They are angry and scared. They grab Anna and Ben and take them to the bathroom. They wash them with water and soap. They call the doctor. The doctor says the glow sticks are dangerous. They have a poison in them. The poison can make Anna and Ben very sick. They have to go to the hospital. Mom and Dad are sad and sorry. Anna and Ben are hurt and scared. They wish they never played with the glow sticks. The end. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with toy guns. They pretend to be pirates and shoot at each other. They make loud noises and laugh. + +One day, they go to the beach with their moms. The beach is great. There is sand and water and shells. Tom and Sam run to the shore. They find a big stick and a flag. They make a pirate ship with the stick and the flag. They put their toy guns in the ship. + +They see a boy and a girl playing with a ball. They are not pirates. They are enemies. Tom and Sam shout, "Arrr! We are pirates! We will shoot you!" + +The boy and the girl are scared. They drop the ball and run away. Tom and Sam grab the ball and put it in their ship. They are happy. They have a treasure. + +Their moms see them and call them. They say, "Tom, Sam, stop shooting! That is not nice! You have to share the ball!" + +Tom and Sam are sad. They do not want to share the ball. They like their treasure. They say, "But we are pirates! Pirates do not share!" + +Their moms say, "You are not pirates. You are boys. Boys have to be kind and polite. You have to give the ball back and say sorry." + +Tom and Sam sigh. They do not like to say sorry. But they know their moms are right. They take the ball and the flag and walk to the boy and the girl. They say, "We are sorry. We were playing. Here is your ball and your flag." + +The boy and the girl smile. They say, "Thank you. We are sorry too. We were scared. Do you want to play with us?" + +Tom and Sam nod. They say, "Yes. We want to play with you. What do you want to play?" + +The boy and the girl say, "We want to play pirates. Can we use your toy guns?" + +Tom and Sam smile. They say, "Yes. You can use our toy guns. We can be pirates together." + +They all run to the shore. They make a bigger pirate ship with the stick, the flag, and the ball. They pretend to shoot at the waves and the birds. They make loud noises and laugh. They have fun. The beach is great. +Tim and Sam were brothers. They liked to play with cars and balls. One day, they saw a big store with many toys. They wanted to go inside and look. + +"Can we go, Mom?" Tim asked. + +"Not now, sweetie. We have to buy food first," Mom said. + +But Tim and Sam did not listen. They ran away from Mom and went to the store. They saw many shiny and colorful toys. They wanted to have them all. + +"Look, Sam, a big truck!" Tim said. + +"Wow, and a red bike!" Sam said. + +They took the toys and ran to the door. They did not pay for them. They were very bad. + +But a man saw them. He was a police. He wore a blue hat and a badge. He stopped them and said, "Hey, you two, stop! You cannot take those toys. That is stealing. That is wrong." + +Tim and Sam were scared. They dropped the toys and cried. They were sorry. + +"Where is your Mom?" the police asked. + +"We don't know. We ran away," Tim said. + +"That was very stupid. You could get lost or hurt. You should always stay with your Mom. She loves you and takes care of you," the police said. + +He took them to the store and found their Mom. She was very worried and angry. She hugged them and said, "Tim, Sam, what did you do? You scared me so much. You should never run away from me. And you should never steal. That is very bad. You have to say sorry to the store and the police." + +Tim and Sam said sorry. They felt very bad. They learned their lesson. They never ran away or stole again. They were good boys. +Anna and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to pretend they were explorers, looking for new things. They saw a big hill with a hole on top. They wanted to climb it. + +"Let's go up there!" Ben said. "Maybe it's a volcano!" + +"A volcano?" Anna asked. "What's that?" + +"It's a mountain that makes fire and smoke. It's very dangerous, but also very cool!" Ben said. + +Anna was scared, but also curious. She followed Ben as he ran to the hill. They started to climb, using their hands and feet. The hill was steep and rocky. They had to stretch to reach the next spot. + +"Look, we're almost there!" Ben said, pointing to the hole. "I wonder what's inside!" + +"Maybe we shouldn't go, Ben. It might be too hot or too loud." Anna said, feeling nervous. + +"Don't be silly, Anna. It's just a game. Come on, it'll be fun!" Ben said, pulling her along. + +They reached the hole and looked inside. It was dark and smelly. They heard a rumbling sound. Suddenly, a burst of fire and smoke came out of the hole. It was a real volcano! + +"Ah!" Anna and Ben screamed. They turned around and ran down the hill as fast as they could. The fire and smoke chased them. They felt the heat and the ash on their skin and hair. + +They reached the bottom of the hill and ran to their mom, who was sitting on a bench. She saw them and hugged them. + +"What happened? Are you okay?" she asked, worried. + +"We're sorry, mom. We climbed the volcano and it erupted. It was very dangerous. We were scared." Anna and Ben said, crying. + +"Oh, you poor things. You're very lucky you didn't get hurt. That was a very bad idea. You should never go near a volcano. They're not for playing. They're for staying away." mom said, wiping their tears. + +"We know, mom. We won't do it again. We're sorry." Anna and Ben said, feeling sorry. + +Mom kissed them and smiled. "It's okay. I'm glad you're safe. Now let's go home and wash up. You need a bath and a nap. And maybe a story about something else." she said, holding their hands. + +Anna and Ben nodded. They learned their lesson. They still liked to pretend they were explorers, but they never climbed a volcano again. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play outside. One day, they see a big pile of junk near the road. It has old boxes, cans, bottles and wires. + +"Let's go and see the junk!" Lily says. "Maybe we can find something fun." + +"No, Lily, that is dangerous!" Ben says. "The junk can hurt us. It can cut us or poke us. And the road has fast cars. They can hit us." + +But Lily does not listen. She runs to the junk. She sees a big box. She thinks it is a house. She jumps on the box. The box breaks. Lily falls down. She cries. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Lily says. "My leg hurts!" + +Ben runs to Lily. He sees blood on her leg. He is scared. He calls for help. + +"Help, help, help!" Ben says. "Lily is hurt! She jumped on the junk!" + +A man hears Ben. He comes to see. He sees Lily and Ben. He sees the junk. He sees the road. He is angry. + +"What are you doing here?" the man says. "This is not a place to play. This is dangerous. You could have been killed. Come with me. I will take you to your parents. And I will call the doctor for Lily." + +Lily and Ben are sorry. They learned a lesson. They will not play with junk again. They will listen to Ben. He is a good friend. He cares for Lily. +Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They found a big box under a tree. They wanted to see what was inside. + +"Let's open it!" Tom said. + +"Maybe it's a present!" Lily said. + +They pulled and tugged at the box. It was hard to open. It had a lot of wrap around it. The wrap was brown and sticky. It smelled bad. + +"Yuck! What is this?" Tom said. + +They tore off the wrap and lifted the lid. Inside the box, there was a big cake. But the cake was not nice. It was green and fuzzy. It had worms and flies on it. It was rot. + +"Ew! Gross!" Lily said. + +They dropped the lid and ran away from the box. They were scared and anxious. They did not want to touch the rot cake. + +"Who put this here?" Tom said. + +"Maybe it was a mean trick!" Lily said. + +They heard a laugh behind the tree. It was Sam, their big brother. He came out with a camera. + +"Gotcha!" he said. "I made the rot cake for you. It was a joke. I wanted to see your faces. Ha ha ha!" + +Tom and Lily were angry and sad. They did not like Sam's joke. They did not think it was funny. They wanted to tell their mom. + +"Sam, you are mean and rude!" Tom said. + +"Sam, you are not nice and kind!" Lily said. + +They ran to the house to find their mom. Sam followed them, still laughing. He did not care. He thought he was clever and funny. He did not know that his mom would be mad at him. He did not know that he would be in trouble. He did not know that he would have to throw away the rot cake and clean the mess. He did not know that he would have to say sorry to Tom and Lily. He did not know that he would have to learn a lesson. +Lily and Max were best friends. They liked to play with their toys, draw pictures and sing songs. One day, they went to the park with their moms. They saw a big slide, a swing and a sandbox. They ran to the slide and took turns to go down. + +"Wow, this is so fun!" Lily said. + +"Yes, it is!" Max agreed. + +But then, they heard a loud noise. It was a big dog, barking and running towards them. The dog looked angry and scary. Lily and Max were afraid. They dropped their toys and ran to their moms. + +"Mommy, help!" Lily cried. + +"Mommy, save us!" Max shouted. + +Their moms picked them up and hugged them. They tried to calm them down. + +"Shh, it's okay, sweeties. The dog won't hurt you. He's just playing. His owner is coming to get him. See?" one mom said, pointing to a man with a leash. + +"Sorry, sorry, he got away from me. He's harmless, really. He just likes to chase things. He won't bite. He's a good boy." the man said, as he grabbed the dog and put the leash on him. + +Lily and Max peeked from their moms' arms. They saw the dog wagging his tail and licking the man's face. He didn't look so angry and scary anymore. He looked happy and friendly. + +"Maybe he's not so terrible." Lily whispered to Max. + +"Maybe he just wanted to play." Max whispered back. + +They smiled at each other and hugged their moms. They felt safe and brave. They decided to give the dog another chance. + +"Can we pet him?" Lily asked the man. + +"Sure, if you want to. He likes kids. Just be gentle and slow." the man said. + +Lily and Max got down from their moms' arms and walked towards the dog. They reached out their hands and touched his fur. He licked their fingers and wagged his tail. He made a soft noise that sounded like a purr. + +"He's nice." Lily said. + +"He's soft." Max said. + +They giggled and petted the dog some more. They made a new friend. They forgot about their fear. They had fun. +One day, a little bird was flying in the sky. He liked to feel the wind on his wings and to sing to his friends. But then, he saw a big storm coming. The wind became very strong and loud. It pushed the bird around and made him scared. + +"Help! Help!" the bird cried. "I can't fly in this wind!" + +He looked for a place to hide, but he could not find any. He felt very tired and sad. He thought he would fall to the ground. + +But then, he heard a voice. It was a kind mouse who lived in a hole under a tree. + +"Come here, little bird!" the mouse said. "You can stay in my hole until the storm is over. It is warm and safe here." + +The bird was very happy. He flew to the mouse and thanked him. + +"Thank you, kind mouse!" the bird said. "You saved me from the wind. You are a good friend." + +The mouse smiled and nodded. + +"You are welcome, little bird," the mouse said. "I like to help others. We can share my food and my stories until the storm is over." + +The bird and the mouse became friends. They waited for the storm to pass. They talked and laughed and ate. They were not afraid of the wind anymore. They were glad they had each other. +Once upon a time, there was a pilot. He was looking out of the window of his plane and saw some flexible trees. He thought they were so fun that he decided to start playing around. He swooped up and down, going in and out of the trees. + +The pilot thought it was so much fun that he invited a friend to come and join in the game. When his friend arrived, the pilot said, "Hi! I'm starting a fun game and you should come and play too!" + +His friend agreed and the two of them began playing. They went in and out of the trees, looping around and dodging each other. It was so much fun! + +After a while, the pilot had to get back to his plane. He said goodbye to his friend and started to fly away. As he left, he shouted back, "Goodbye!

Let's go collect!" + +So they went outside and the little girl saw the mailbox. She ran up to it and looked inside. She said, "I can't see anything mom!" Her mom said, "Let me look. Ah, here it is!" and she reached into the mailbox and pulled out an envelope. + +The little girl said, "What is it?" Her mommy said, "This is mail. It's something fun to collect!" The little girl smiled and said, "Let's do it again tomorrow!" Her mom smiled and said, "I'd love to!" +Jenny was a little girl who loved playing with her toys. One day she gathered some dolls and clothes and put them into a basket. She found some of her toy clothes that were very delicate and she thought they would be perfect. She held them up and asked her mommy, "Can I match these to the dolls?" Her mother said, "Yes, but be careful with the delicate clothes!" Then Jenny started to put the clothes on the dolls. + +When she was done, she put the dolls into the basket and went outside with them. Suddenly, a bee flew by her. Jenny felt a bit scared but she was brave and kept going. When she got to a nearby meadow, she set the basket down and started to make a game with her dolls. She moved them around, matching them with different clothes. She laughed and smiled as she played. + +After a bit, she noticed something buzzing in the meadow. It was the same bee that flew past her earlier! The bee was flying around her dolls and getting close to their delicate clothes. But Jenny knew what to do and she used one of her dolls to swat the bee away. The bee flew off and Jenny was relieved. + +Now she knew how to match her dolls with their delicate clothes - and keep them safe from pesky bees! +Franny was walking through the park with her mom when she saw an interesting bin. She walked up to it and saw it was full of soft stuffed animals. She was confused - where did they come from? + +Mommy said, "That bin is for donations. People donate soft things so other children can have them." + +Franny looked around. No one was around, so Franny reached in and grabbed one of the soft animals. Mommy watched as she hugged it close. + +"We can't take it, Franny," said mommy. "It's here for other children." + +Franny looked up, her eyes wide. She didn't know what to do! + +Mommy smiled. "Why don't we put it back and make it complete again? That way, someone else can enjoy it." + +Franny understood and carefully put the animal back. She smiled and waved goodbye to the bin. + +Mommy smiled and said, "See? That wasn't so hard. Now it's complete for someone else to enjoy." +Franny was no longer confused. She waved at the bin one more time as she walked away with her mom. +Jim was walking through the forest when he saw a hole in the ground. He went up and peered inside. He noticed that there was some kind of animal living inside. + +“Hello?†he said. + +The animal spoke back, “Hello! Who are you?†+ +“I’m Jim,†he said. + +“I’m Pat. What are you doing here?†+ + Jim looked up and around the forest. “I seem to have forgotten where I was going,†he said. + +Pat smiled. “I’ve been here a long time. The forest is calm and peaceful. Maybe you should stay here a while too?†+ +Jim thought about it and said, “That sounds nice. I think I will.†So he stayed with Pat in the hole and, soon enough, he remembered why he was there in the first place. +Once upon a time, there was a wealthy family who lived in a big house. One day, the dad saw something strange happening in the backyard. He saw two little boys playing with a stick. One of the boys kept taking it from the other one as if he was trying to steal it. The dad shouted at the boys, "Hey! NO STEALING!" + +The boys stopped, and one of them said, "But dad, he's MY friend. I'm not stealing." The dad asked, "Why did it look like you were stealing then?" The boy explained that he was playing a game called 'Keep away', where the players take turns trying to keep the other from taking the stick. + +The dad laughed and said, "Oh, I see now. Just be sure that you don't forget the lesson: no stealing!" +The two boys nodded to show they understood and ran off to continue their game. The dad was so happy that his children were friends, and that stealing was not part of their game. +A boy was running along the street. He had a big box with a tool inside. The tool was an old hammer that his father had given him to help with his chores. + +Suddenly, he bumped into a stranger. The stranger looked down on the boy and said, "What do you think you are doing with that tool? You're too young to know what it can do!" + +The boy looked up and said, "My dad gave it to me to help me do my chores. He said it was the best tool around." + +The stranger was surprised. He had thought the boy was ignorant and didn't understand the importance of what he was doing. The stranger smiled and said, "Well done for using the tool that your father gave you." + +The boy smiled back and kept running down the street. He was proud that he'd been able to show the stranger how hardworking he was. + +The moral of the story is that it's important to use the tools we have wisely and treat others with respect. Ignorance can lead to misunderstanding but respect and hard work can bring understanding. +Once there was a little boy named Tommy. He was three years old and loved animals. One day, Tommy went to the zoo with his family. When he saw an elephant, he laughed and joked with it. + +"Hi, elephant!" he said. + +The elephant smiled, and Tommy laughed harder.

Jane was sad. + +Mom said, “Don’t worry, honey. We’ll try again tomorrow.†Jane nodded and gave her mom a big hug. + +The next day, Mom and Jane went for a walk.

The duck seemed very busy and was quacking orders to the other animals in the area. The turtle was a bit puzzled by this. He moved closer to the duck and asked, "Who is in charge here?" The duck said, "I am. I am the one in charge, and I have given a strict order that none of the animals can cross the river." + +The turtle was disappointed, as he wanted to explore the other side of the river. He asked if he could get special permission, but the duck said no. The turtle thought and thought, and then he had an idea. He asked the duck to wait so that he would go really slow, so slow that it would be almost as if he hadn't left the riverbank at all. + +The duck agreed, and the turtle started to move, painstakingly slow.

We must be careful not to bother or scare the other animals in the forest!" + +Fred agreed with Sue and from that day on, he always thought before he did something. +Once upon a time there was a little fish and she swam around the reef.

You can have just as much fun and it won’t get so dirty.†+ +The little fish thought about it and had a plan. The next day she swam around the reef, but this time she was very careful.

Just continue walking and you will find it." + +So the elephant kept walking, and eventually he came across the ball. He was so excited! He was so happy that he had found it. + +The end. +One day, a dog was walking in the park when a boy asked it to take a test. The dog was scared but agreed.

She saw a fish swimming around in the river. It was orange too. + +Candy wanted to touch the fish. So she slowly stepped into the river. The water was cold, so she started to feel a bit scared. She looked around, but there was no one around. She didn't know what to do. So she just shrugged. + +The fish swam away, back into its home. Candy watched as the fish disappeared.

It was bright red and made of a weird jelly-like material. He kept staring at it and even reached out to touch it. Suddenly, his mother's voice interrupted him. "Josh, don't keep touching that shampoo!" she scolded. He knew he should have listened to her, but now it was too late. He felt a strange sensation, like a warm tingling, coursing through his body.

Jane wanted to keep it but Alex wanted to leave it. So they started to discuss what to do. + +Alex said they should leave the bucket and look for something else to play with.

Her mom said no but the little girl didn't listen and kept asking for the mirror. + +The girl's mom became very angry. She went to the girl's room and said: "No more asking for the mirror! If you don't listen I have to take it away." + +The little girl didn't listen and kept playing with the mirror. She didn't want it to be taken away. So her mom became very scared and took away the mirror very quickly. She hid it in a purple box and locked the box with a key. + +The girl started to cry.

Soon the sea was upon her and the cooler floated away. The little girl was never seen again. +Once upon a time there was a stubborn little owl. He was always curious about the world around him and every day he asked his mom lots of questions. + +"Mom, why is it so dark when the sun goes away?", asked the little owl. + +"Well, that's how nature works. The sun sets, and it gets dark," replied his mom. + +The little owl was so full of wonder. But it seemed like every answer he got only made him ask more questions. + +One day, the little owl asked his mom, "What do I have to do to understand everything?" + +His mom smiled and said, "You have to sort it out for yourself. It might take some time, but if you are patient and make your own discoveries, you will find the answers." + +The little owl was still stubborn but he was determined to figure it all out. So he spent hours sorting through what he knew until he finally had a better understanding of the world around him. + +The moral of the story is that with patience, knowledge can be sorted. +Once upon a time, there was a jolly little girl named Lisa.

Do you want to help?" + +Emma nodded eagerly and together they worked, twisting and weaving the string around the tree. When it was finished, the swing was empty. + +"Where are the seats, Mommy?" + +"We have to encourage them to come," her mom said, "Watch, look and you shall see." + +Mommy clapped her hands and called, "Come on kids, let's have some fun!" And out of nowhere, two little birds flew in with thin branches in their beaks.

Inside the hive lived a lot of busy bees. +One day, the bees decided to take a break and fly outside of the hive. The sunlight made their wings feel warm and the fresh air made them feel happy. +But then something strange happened. As the bees flew, the sun began to get hotter and hotter. The bees flew higher and higher until they were tiny little specks in the sky. Eventually, the hot sun shrank them down so small that they could no longer fly. +The bees were so sad that their wings had become so icy. They spun in circles inside the hive, looking for a way to get their wings back. +Suddenly, a ray of light shone inside the hive. The bees flew into the light and suddenly, their wings felt warm again!

It was a simple rubber ball, very common and nothing special. + +'I wish I had asked Mom what it was before I said yes!' Lucy said. + +Little did Lucy know that this would be her favorite toy. It was perfect for her age and soon she was playing with it all day.

When they were done, they said goodbye to their family and set off on an adventurous journey. + +They explored the forests, the rivers, and the mountains.

Sammy smiled and said, "I would love to!" + +The End. +Once upon a time, there was a kind old lady who lived by a lake. Her name was Mrs. Jones, and she loved going fishing in the lake.

She held the cub's furry paws and gently led it into the lake.

One day he was walking in the garden when he saw something shiny. It was an iron and it was so shiny that Spot wanted to take it home. + +He opened his mouth and tried to bite the iron. It was very rough to the touch, but Spot was determined and he bit the iron until it came off. + +Spot was so happy with his new toy that he ran around the garden, playing with it. When he returned home he proudly showed his toy to all his friends. + +His friend, Tommy, said to him, “Be careful Spot, don’t bite the iron too much because it’s very rough and it might hurt you.†Spot nodded and thanked Tommy for his advice. + +Spot learned his lesson, and from then on he held the iron with his paws instead of biting it. He still liked to play with it, but he was careful. +Once upon a time there was a little girl named Lucy. She loved to go to the opera.

The girl wanted to know the boy's special secret. She asked him everyday but he wouldn't tell her. He just said it was too fancy for her to know. But one day, the girl got mad and said, "Tell me the secret!" She demanded it. + +The boy thought and thought. He knew she would never let him keep his secret. So, with a sigh, he told her. + +"My secret is that I like candy more than cake!" + +The girl laughed. She thought it was silly and funny. The boy felt relieved that it was such a simple secret. He was glad he didn't have to keep it any longer. + +From then on, the girl and boy always shared their secrets with each other. They were very happy. They never had to demand them - just share. +Once upon a time, Mama and Papa took their three year old daughter, Eloise, to visit the beach. + +When they arrived, Eloise was so excited. She couldn't wait to get her hands in the sand and explore the beach. + +Mama said, "Let's go find a mystery!" Eloise's eyes lit up and she ran to the edge of the water. She was ready to do some exploring. + +Then she stopped. She saw something disgusting on the beach. "What is it?" she asked. + +Mama and Papa came over and said, "It's just a pile of seaweed. It's slimy and gross, but it's not dangerous." + +Eloise wrinkled up her nose and said, "Yuck! Let's do something else." + +They found a nice shady spot away from the gross seaweed and played in the sand. Eloise laughed and squealed with joy as she dug and built the most amazing sandcastle ever. + +Mama smiled and said, "See? We still found our mystery." + +Eloise smiled, too. That was the best mystery of all! +One day, a little frog was hopping through the pond. He wanted to find a big button. He searched and searched until he saw something shiny in the water. It was a broken button! + +The little frog looked up to the sky and said, "I must be brave and swim to the bottom. I know I'll get it!"

He reached the bottom and grabbed the button. + +As he started to swim to the surface, he noticed that something was wrong. He was stuck in the pond! The button had been caught on some weeds. He tried and tried but he could not get free. He cried and cried until he heard a voice. + +"I'll help you, little frog!" It was a friendly snail. He said, "Just grab on to my back, and we'll get out of here!" The frog did as the snail said, and soon they were out of the pond. + +The frog smiled, and thanked the snail for helping him. He held the broken button tightly in his hand, proud of his brave and successful adventure. +Once upon a time there was a girl. She was three years old and her name was Will.

You're going to get burned!". But the first child didn't listen and kept burning the sand. Suddenly, a big fire started in the sand box. The other child shouted: "Help! A fire!" + +Thankfully a kind neighbour heard them and called the firemen. The firemen quickly put out the fire.

We can go and see it if you like." + +So they walked over and looked at the church. The bell was ringing and Jimmy was amazed. He banged the door and watched it swing open.

The little girl gasped at the sight of it and quickly turned around to make a run for it. + +But it was too late. The fox pounced on her and bit her arm. She screamed for help but no one came. + +The moral of the story is to always be careful when exploring the wild. Never trust an animal that looks harmless.

One day, she spotted an animal in trouble. It was a tiny squirrel stuck in a cone. +Clara wanted to save the animal, but she was too short and too weak to rescue the squirrel all by herself. She asked her brother to help, but he said he couldn't be bothered and that it was only a squirrel, anyway. Clara was so sad. +Just then, Clara had an idea. She ran over to her old friend, Mr. Dog, who was always ready to help. Mr. Dog was so happy to see Clara and he agreed to help right away. He used his strong paws to gently remove the cone from the squirrel and rescue it from danger. +The moral of the story is this: it's never too small a thing to do a kind deed! Never be too stupid to help someone in need. Always lend a helping hand like Mr. Dog did for Clara and the squirrel. +Tommy and his dad were walking by a big park. Tommy was excited to go on the big slide and the merry-go-round. + +His dad said, "Let's take a walk on the tracks Tommy.

She was so poor she only had a pencil to play with. She loved to write in her notebook and draw pictures. One day she was writing in her notebook when a mosquito flew in and landed on the page. She tried to swat it away but it kept coming back. + +The poor little girl thought to herself, "Why can't I write without this pesky mosquito buzzing around?" She even tried to write with one hand, trying to keep the mosquito away with the other. + +The mosquito flew away for a moment and the girl kept on writing. Then, the mosquito came back and sat next to the girl's pencil and started buzzing loudly. The poor little girl wondered why the mosquito was so interested in her pencil. + +Suddenly, a voice came from the mosquito, "Write with me! Together we can make beautiful works of art!" The little girl was so surprised she almost forgot how to talk. + +But then she remembered her dream of becoming an artist one day and she knew this was the perfect opportunity.

She felt the grass beneath her feet, close her eyes and listened to the gentle rhythm of the birds nearby. Anna was so busy painting, she forgot the time. Soon it was getting dark and she was feeling cold. + +Anna wanted to keep painting, so she decided to take the paint inside. But she was too excited and, without realising, the paint spilled on her mum's new white rug. Anna's mum was very cross and started shouting at her. Anna hung her head sadly, as she knew she had made a mistake. + +The end. +Once upon a time there was a twin brother and sister. They were both very powerful. Every day they loved to play together and never wanted to be apart. But one day, the boy forgot his sister. He went looking for her, but couldn’t find her. He searched high and low, but still he couldn’t find her. Then he saw a big rainbow and remembered something his sister had said: “Whenever we’re apart, look to the rainbow and it will lead us back together.†So the boy followed the rainbow, and it eventually led him back to his sister. When they saw each other again, they were so happy and hugged tightly. They never wanted to forget each other again. +John and his sister, Lisa, were playing catch outside in their backyard. John was very excited and threw the ball high up so it could reach Lisa.

They were both so excited to find the surprise. They smiled and laughed until it was time to go inside. + +John and Lisa walked into the house feeling happy and excited. They knew even if they faced tough times, they'd stick together and always be patient and kind like real siblings do. +Once upon a time there was a little girl, Sally. Sally was very brave and always wanted to explore new and exciting places. One day she decided to go play in the woods all by herself. As she ran through the trees, she saw a shiny path that seemed to lead her somewhere. She was very excited and followed it. + +Finally, Sally reached a dark and creepy cave. She was very nervous, but bravely decided to go inside. Inside, she saw a big silver box that was shining brightly. She went to open it, but she couldn't! She tried and tried and nothing seemed to work. + +Suddenly, a voice came out of the box, "if you want to open the box, you'll have to answer my riddle". Sally said, "yes, ok". She was very nervous but still tried to figure it out. After a few minutes of thinking, she answered the riddle correctly. + +The voice said, "congratulations, you can have your prize!". Sally was so excited and opened the box. But her excitement quickly changed, as all she found inside was a yucky dessert that she didn't even like! Disappointed, Sally left the cave feeling sad. +Once upon a time there lived a family with two children. The kids, Mia and Max, were always playing together and having lots of fun. + +One day, their mom suggested an activity. "Let's make some costumes!" she said. Soon Mia and Max were spreading fabrics and decorations across the living room and they were very excited. + +They worked hard, picking out the perfect shades of green and purple and carefully cutting out fabric to make a sparkly cape and a pair of glittering horns. "Wow!", Mia said when they were finished. + +At the end of the day, their mom asked them to surprise a friend. So they each put on their costumes and left. + +The kids could hardly contain their excitement as they made their way to their friend's house. When they arrived, Max knocked on the door and their friend was elated.

The blue bird was terrified! + +It tried to talk to the snake and said, "Please don't eat me. I don't want to be lunch!" The snake hissed in response and kept coming closer. + +Suddenly, the blue bird saw a bright light in the sky. It was a hawk! The hawk flew down and scared the snake away. + +The blue bird was very happy! It thanked the hawk with its little chirps and tweets. Then, the bird spread its wings and went back to talking with the other birds in the tree. +Once upon a time there was a little girl called Marie. She wanted to find a new friend to play with. One day she was in the park and saw a little boy playing by himself. She wanted to meet the little boy but was too scared. Her heart was weak and her courage was low. + +Marie's mum saw her dilemma and came to her aid. She asked Marie if she wanted to talk to the little boy, and Marie nodded. Marie's mum introduced her to the little boy and his name was Timmy. + +Marie and Timmy started talking and soon they were playing together. They both enjoyed playing, so they decided to watch the ducks in the pond together. + +When they were almost finished, Timmy started to cry. Marie asked him why he was crying and he said, "I feel weak when I am alone. But when I am with you I feel strong." + +Marie was touched by his words and they both hugged. From that day onwards, they were the best of friends. + +The moral of the story is to never feel scared to meet someone new, because friendship is a wonderful thing that can make us feel strong. +Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Mike. He was only three years old, but he loved to explore. One day, Mike decided to go on an adventure and he brought his teddy bear with him. + +He walked for hours until he saw something interesting.

And to his surprise he found a huge garden full of fruit and vegetables. "Wow!" said Mike. He started to pick some and put it in his basket. + +But then he heard a loud voice. It belonged to the gardener who was standing right next to him. She had a big smile on her face and she said, "Mike, if you get really hungry, you can always come back to supply yourself with some fresh food!" + +Mike said goodbye to the gardener, thanked her and came back home with his basket full of delicious fruit and vegetables. He felt so proud to be able to bring something so tasty back home. +Once upon a time there was a stubborn little girl called Clara. She didn't like to do what she was told and wanted to choose what she did. + +One day her mum gave her a box and asked her to decide what should be in it. Clara wanted to put her favourite toy in the box but her mum said no. + +"No," said her mum, "you must decide what is useful to put in the box, not what's fun." + +But Clara was stubborn. She wanted to put her favourite toy in the box but she knew it was not useful and knew she must decide something else! + +In the end, Clara chose to put a book, a pencil and a toy car in her box. She was still a bit stubborn, but she had made a decision - and that made her mum proud. +One day, Molly was in the park with her mom. She saw a big green spot on the grass. She ran over and touched it. + +"That looks fun," Molly said. + +Molly's mom shook her head. "No, Molly. That spot is covered in grass. We can't touch it. It isn't allowed," she said. + +Molly was very disappointed. She wanted to touch the green spot. She thought about it for a moment, then had an idea. She decided to make her own spot. + +Molly grabbed some rocks from the ground and arranged them into a circle. Then she put some grass clippings on top and stepped back. "Look mom! I made a spot!" she said. + +Her mom smiled. "That's a very nice spot, Molly. You did a great job!" + +Molly smiled and touched her spot. She was so happy that she had been able to make her own spot, even if she couldn't touch the green one. +Once upon a time, there was a little mouse. He was feeling very frightened. He was heading outside to see a friend, but had no idea how he was going to get there. Suddenly, he heard a sneeze! It scared him so much that he ran away. + +When the little mouse came back out, he spotted an egg lying in the grass. He poked the egg with his nose, but nothing happened. He sniffed it, but still nothing. He decided that the only way to find out what was inside the egg was to break it with his paws. + +So the little mouse broke the egg. Inside was a snake!

It is a warning to everyone not to be careless and neglectful of themselves." + +The small boy was taken aback. He thanked the saw for the warning, and ran home with the lesson ringing in his ears.

She looked up and saw a kindly old man standing there. He had seen her trying to get the spear. "I want it so much," she sniffed. + +The old man smiled.

She thanked the old man, smiled and ran off, her heart much lighter than when she had arrived. +Once there was a little girl who loved to explore. One day, she went out and noticed an icy pond.

But when she got to the beach, the wave was fake. It had been created with a toy by a group of children who live nearby. + +Peggy felt sad and confused as to why they had used a fake wave. She asked the children why they had created it. They just laughed in response. + +Peggy's mom then told her why it was wrong to use something fake instead of appreciating the real beauty of the ocean.

We have to run around in circles, and who ever quits first loses!" + +Aiden was hesitant, but he agreed. So the two started running around in circles. But Aiden was not used to running like this and soon he started getting tired.
