He asked his mum 'What is that?'. + +Mum replied: 'That is a stair, darling. You must never speed on a stair, it could be dangerous.' + +John nodded and promised not to speed on the stair. Ever since then, John always made sure to play nice and safe at the park. +Once upon a time, there was a brilliant girl called Ella.

But then he started to feel a bit worried. What if the cousins didn't like him? + +His mother saw that he looked unsure and came over to give him a hug. + +"It's ok my little one," she said. "Sometimes being around people who are different can be a great opportunity to learn and to understand. Being jealous won't make new friends, but being kind will." + +The kid nodded. He knew that his mother was right; being kind and friendly was the best way to make new friends. So that day, the little kid invited his cousins over and showed them around. They had so much fun he almost forgot about how jealous he had been before. + +The moral of the story is that being kind and welcoming is always better than being jealous or resentful. +Once upon a time there were two best friends.

He explained the cat's problem, and the owl said he could help. + +The owl flew back with the mouse and said to the cat, "Listen carefully. I know the remedy for itchy skin.

"Do I have to eat broccoli?" Sarah asked. + +Her mum smiled. "Yes, Sarah," she said. "But if you eat all of your broccoli you can have some ice cream afterwards." + +But Sarah had other plans. She wanted to eat ice cream first. So Sarah quietly picked up the bowl of broccoli and tried to slip it under her bed. But just as her mum wasn't looking, the bowl slipped out of Sarah's hands and spilled all over the floor. + +"Oh no," said Sarah's mum. "It looks like someone wanted to avoid eating their broccoli!" + +Sarah nodded and smiled sheepishly at her mum.

It was a clear bucket, and he liked it a lot. He played with it every day in his backyard. + +One day, he went to play outside with his bucket, but he noticed something was wrong. His bucket was gone! He searched all over but still couldn't find it. + +John's mom saw him so sad and came over to him. She asked, "What's wrong, John?" + +John said, "Mommy! Somebody took my bucket away!" + +John's mom gave him a hug and said, "That's okay, John. I can get you a new bucket!" + +John was so happy. His mom went to the store and came back with a new bucket. It wasn't clear like his old bucket, but she said it was even better. + +John smiled and said, "Thank you, Mommy! I love my new bucket!" +Once upon a time, a baby called John wanted a special present. His Mommy, Daddy and Grandma all said that if he was a good boy he might get what he wanted. Mommy and Daddy said that whatever present he got needed to help him learn something important. + +So John was very happy when Grandma said she had a surprise for him. She said it was a very special and important gift. But when John saw it he was confused. It was a big and shiny motorcycle! He said it was too big and why wouldn't he need this toy, until Grandma showed him how to squeeze it. + +John was so excited! His special surprise was a cool toy which he could squeeze and ride. He learned the important lesson that it was OK to have fun with a toy and still be a good boy who learnt important things. + +John grew up to be a big boy and still remembered the lesson he learnt that day about being a good boy and having fun with important things.

But the thread was so big, it wouldn't go in. + +Mandy asked her mom for help. Mom smiled and said: "Sometimes, you need help to get things done. That's why it's important to be brave and ask for help." + +So, Mandy and her mom cut the thread into smaller pieces. Soon, the pieces fit in Mandy's jar and it was filled with the special thread. + +Mandy said: "I'm so glad I asked for help." + +The moral of this story is that it's important to ask for help. No matter how big the task is, you can achieve any goal with the right help. +Johny was excited. Today he was going to ride his new bike. He found it behind his garage, cleaned and shining.

Where was his folder? + +He ran to his mommy and asked her, "Mommy, have you seen my folder? The one with my drawings?" + +Mommy looked at him and said, "No, Timmy, I have not seen your folder. Maybe you left it at school?" + +Timmy shook his head. He remembered putting his folder in his backpack. He showed his mommy his backpack, but it was empty. He started to cry. + +Mommy hugged him and said, "Don't worry, Timmy, we will find your folder. Maybe it fell out of your backpack on the way home. Let's go outside and look for it." + +Timmy and mommy went outside and walked along the path that Timmy took from school. They looked on the ground, in the bushes, on the benches, but they could not find the folder. Timmy felt more sad and troubled. He wondered if someone had taken his folder. + +Then, as they turned a corner, they saw something that made them happy. It was Timmy's folder. It was lying on the sidewalk, next to a big tree. Timmy ran to it and picked it up. He opened it and saw that all his drawings were still there. He smiled and said, "Mommy, look, I found my folder. It was here all along." + +Mommy smiled and said, "I'm so glad, Timmy. How did your folder get here?" + +Timmy looked at the tree and saw a squirrel sitting on a branch. The squirrel had a crayon in its mouth. It looked at Timmy and mommy and made a noise. Timmy thought the squirrel was saying sorry. + +Timmy said, "I think the squirrel took my folder. Maybe it liked my crayons. It's okay, squirrel, you can have one. But please don't take my folder again." + +The squirrel nodded and dropped the crayon. It ran away and disappeared in the leaves.

He wrote on it, "To my new friend, the squirrel. From Timmy." +Lily and Ben were playing with their toy cars in the backyard. They liked to pretend they were racing on a big track. They had a small can of water that they used as fuel for their cars. + +"Vroom, vroom, I'm going to win!" Ben said, as he zoomed his red car around a corner. + +"No, you're not, I'm faster!" Lily said, as she chased him with her blue car. + +They were having fun, until Lily noticed that the can of water was almost empty. + +"Ben, we need more fuel, or our cars will stop!" she said. + +"OK, let's go get some from the hose," Ben said. + +They ran to the hose and filled the can with water. Then they went back to their cars. + +But when they got there, they saw something that made them very upset. + +A big dog had come into the backyard and was chewing on their cars. He had broken the wheels and the doors and the windows. He had also spilled the water all over the ground. + +"Hey, stop that, you bad dog!" Ben shouted, as he tried to scare the dog away. + +But the dog just growled and barked at him. + +"Ben, be careful, he might bite you!" Lily said, as she hid behind a tree. + +They didn't know what to do. They were sad and angry and scared. + +Then they heard a voice that made them feel better. + +"Lily, Ben, what's going on?" It was their mom, who had come out to check on them. + +She saw the dog and the broken cars and the water. + +"Oh, no, what a mess!" she said. "I'm so sorry, kids, this is our neighbor's dog. He must have escaped from his yard. He's usually very friendly, but he likes to chew on things. He didn't mean to ruin your cars." + +She went to the dog and called his name. + +"Rex, come here, boy. You're in trouble, mister. You have to go back home." + +The dog stopped chewing and looked at her. He wagged his tail and licked her hand. He seemed to know he had done something wrong. + +She took the dog by his collar and led him away. + +"Come on, Rex, let's go. I'll talk to your owner and see if we can get you some new toys. And I'll apologize for the damage." + +She turned to Lily and Ben and smiled. + +"I'm sorry, kids, I know you're upset. But don't worry, we'll get you some new cars. And maybe some treats, too. How about some ice cream?" + +Lily and Ben nodded.

She is the best toy ever!" + +Tom and Mia look at each other's toys. They think their own toys are better than the other's. They do not want to share or play together. + +"Can I see your needle, Mia?" Tom asks. He wants to poke his truck with it and make holes. + +"No, Tom!" Mia says. "The needle is mine. It is sharp and can hurt you. You cannot have it!" + +"Can I drive your truck, Tom?" Mia asks. She wants to push it and make it crash. + +"No, Mia!" Tom says. "The truck is mine. It is big and can break your doll. You cannot have it!" + +Tom and Mia start to argue and pull each other's toys. They are not happy and not nice. + +Mom hears them and comes to the living room. She sees them fighting and frowning. She is not happy and not nice. + +"Tom and Mia, stop that!" Mom says. "You are being selfish and rude. You should share and play together. Your toys are not more important than your friend. You should value each other and be kind." + +Tom and Mia look at Mom and feel sorry. They realize they were wrong and mean. They let go of each other's toys and say sorry. + +"I'm sorry, Tom," Mia says. "Your truck is cool and fun. You can see my needle if you want. But be careful, it is sharp." + +"I'm sorry, Mia," Tom says. "Your doll is cute and smart. You can drive my truck if you want. But be gentle, it is big." + +Tom and Mia hug and smile.

"I made a car!" + +They put their papers in the box. They need more paper to fill the box. + +"Can you provide more paper, please?" Lila asks Ben. + +Ben nods and runs to the house. He sees his big brother, Sam, on the couch. Sam is watching TV. He is very lazy. + +"Sam, can I have some paper?" Ben asks. + +"No, go away!" Sam says. "I'm busy!" + +"But we need paper for our file!" Ben says. + +"I don't care!" Sam says. "Find your own paper!" + +Ben is sad and angry. He looks around the house.

She stirs the pot with a spoon. + +"Can I have some soup, too?" Ben asks. He drives his car to the table. He stands next to Sara. + +"OK, but you have to share your car with my doll. She likes cars," Sara says. She pours some soup into a bowl and gives it to Ben. + +"Here, you can have my car for a while. But be careful, it is fast," Ben says. He gives his car to Sara. + +"Thank you, Ben. You are a good brother," Sara says. She puts the car next to her doll.

I can strike things with it. It is very useful." + +Mia says, "Can I see it, Ben? Maybe I can use it too." + +Ben says, "No, it is mine. I found it first. You can play with your car." + +Mia feels sad and angry. She wants to play with the hammer too. She thinks Ben is not being nice. She says, "That is not fair, Ben. You have to share. Sharing is good." + +Ben says, "No, I don't. It is my hammer. Go away." + +Mia does not go away. She tries to grab the hammer from Ben. They start to pull and push. They are not playing anymore. They are fighting. + +Suddenly, the metal part of the hammer strikes the handle of Mia's car. It makes a loud noise and a big dent. Mia's car is broken. She starts to cry. + +Ben feels sorry.

I'm sorry too. I should not have tried to take your hammer. Can we be friends again?" + +Ben says, "Yes, we can. Let's play together. Maybe we can find something else to strike with the hammer. Something that is not our toys." + +They hug and smile. They put the hammer and the car aside. They look for something else to play with. They are happy again. +Tom and Mia were at the beach with their mom and dad. They liked to play in the sand and look at the water. Sometimes they saw fish or birds or boats. + +One day, they saw something big and gray in the water. It was a whale! The whale was jumping and splashing and making loud noises.

They told Tom and Mia that the whale was a charming animal. It was friendly and smart and liked to have fun. + +The whale seemed to hear them. It came closer to the shore and waved its tail.

It looked at Tom and Mia with its big eyes. It seemed to like them too. + +But then the whale had to go. It had to swim back to its family and friends. It gave Tom and Mia one last wave and splash.

They missed the whale. + +"Bye, whale, bye!" they said. + +Mom and dad hugged them and told them not to be sad. They said that the whale was a special gift.

They do not hear their mom coming. + +"Boys, what are you doing?" Mom says. She is angry. "You are making a mess and you are not sharing. You are not acting like police. You are acting like bad guys." + +She takes the box away from them. She says they have to learn to play nicely and prevent problems. She says they have to wait until their dad comes home. He will show them what is in the box. It is a surprise for them. + +Tom and Sam feel sorry. They say they are sorry to their mom and to each other. They hug and make up.

They laugh and have fun. + +But then Lily feels cold. She says, "Tom, I want to go inside. I am cold." She looks at her coat. Her coat is small. It does not cover her hands and feet. She shivers. + +Tom says, "No, Lily, don't go. Let's play more. It is fun." He looks at his coat. His coat is big. It covers his hands and feet. He is warm. + +Lily says, "Please, Tom, stop.

He hugs her. + +Lily says, "OK, Tom. Let's play more. We can share your coat. We are happy." They smile and play in the snow. They are good friends. +Tom and Lily were twins who lived in a big house with their wealthy parents. They had many toys and clothes and books, but they were not happy. They wanted to play with other children, but their parents were always busy or away. They only had a nanny who was very strict and made them do chores. + +One day, the nanny told them to rub the floor with a cloth until it was shiny. She said it was good for them to learn how to work hard. Tom and Lily did not like this. They thought it was boring and unfair. They wanted to have fun and explore the world. + +"Tom, I have an idea," Lily whispered to her brother. "Let's pretend we are pirates and this is our ship. We can rub the floor to make it slippery and slide on it. Maybe we can find some treasure or a secret passage." + +"That sounds fun," Tom agreed. "But what if the nanny sees us?" + +"We can hide under the sofa or behind the curtains. She won't notice us. Come on, let's go!" + +Tom and Lily rubbed the floor with their cloths, but instead of making it shiny, they made it wet and soapy. Then they threw away their cloths and slid on the floor, laughing and shouting. They pretended they were sailing on the sea, fighting with other pirates, and finding gold and jewels. They had more fun than ever before. + +But the nanny did notice them. She heard the noise and came to see what was going on. She was very angry when she saw the mess and the twins. She scolded them and told them to stop playing and clean up the floor. She said they were naughty and spoiled and did not appreciate what they had. + +Tom and Lily did not listen to her. They did not care what she said. They were happy and free. They had found their own adventure and their own treasure. They had each other. +Lily and Ben liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big penguin. The penguin was soft and black and white. It had a red bow on its neck and a yellow beak. The penguin also had a string on its back. When they pulled the string, the penguin made a funny noise. + +One day, Lily and Ben decided to take the penguin outside. They wanted to show it to their friends. They put the penguin in a wagon and pulled it along the street. They saw Tom and Sue, who were playing with a ball. They waved to them and said, "Look at our penguin! It can make a noise!" + +Tom and Sue came closer and looked at the penguin. They thought it was unusual. They had never seen a toy like that. They asked, "Can we hear the noise?" Lily and Ben nodded and pulled the string. The penguin opened its beak and said, "Quack, quack, quack!" + +Tom and Sue laughed. They said, "That's not the noise a penguin makes! That's the noise a duck makes!" Lily and Ben looked at each other. They did not know that. They said, "Oh, really? We like it anyway. It's a funny penguin!" + +Tom and Sue agreed. They said, "It is a funny penguin. Can we play with it?" Lily and Ben smiled and said, "Sure! Let's play together!" They all took turns pulling the string and making the penguin quack.

Why are you bald?" + +The bald man smiles and says, "Hello, little girl. I am bald because I have a sickness. The sickness makes my hair fall out. But I am not sad. I have a hat to keep me warm." + +Sara feels sorry for the bald man. She says, "I have a coat to keep me warm. Do you want to zip it with me? It is fun to zip it up and down, up and down." + +The bald man laughs and says, "Sure, I would like to zip it with you. Thank you for being so kind to me. You are a very nice girl." + +Sara and the bald man zip her coat together. They make the sound of the zip and giggle. They become friends and play at the park. Sara learns that bald people are not different from other people. They can be happy and friendly too. +Lily liked to bounce. She bounced on her bed, on the sofa, on the grass. She bounced with her ball, with her doll, with her dog. She bounced when she was happy, when she was sad, when she was bored. + +One day, Lily went to the park with her mom. She saw a big slide, a swing, a seesaw. She wanted to bounce on them all. She ran to the slide and climbed up the steps. She wore a pink skirt that she loved. It was new and shiny and made a swish sound when she moved. + +But when she reached the top of the slide, she saw a boy. He was young, like her, but he looked mean. He had a big frown and a dirty shirt. He said, "This is my slide. You can't bounce here. Go away." + +Lily felt scared and sad. She didn't want to fight. She wanted to bounce. She said, "Please, can I slide? I like to bounce. It's fun." + +The boy said, "No. You can't slide. You can't bounce. You have a silly skirt. It's too pink and too shiny. It's not for bouncing. It's for girls." + +Lily felt angry and hurt. She didn't like the boy. She liked her skirt. It was not silly. It was pretty and fun. It was for bouncing. It was for her. She said, "My skirt is not silly. It's nice. It's for bouncing. It's for me. You are mean. You can't tell me what to do." + +Then she did something brave. She pushed the boy off the slide. He fell on the ground and cried. Lily slid down the slide. She felt the wind in her hair and the sun on her face. She bounced when she landed. She laughed and said, "I can bounce. I can slide. I can wear my skirt. It's pink and shiny and swishy. It's the best skirt ever." +Ben loves to play basketball. He has a big orange ball and a hoop in his backyard.

They want to roll down the hill. They think it will be fun. They hold the ball and run to the hill. + +"Are you ready?" Tom asks Lily. + +"Yes, I am ready!" Lily says. + +They lie on the ball and roll down the hill. They go very fast. They feel the wind in their hair. They laugh and scream. + +But then, the ball hits a rock. The ball pops. Tom and Lily fall off the ball. They roll down the hill without the ball. They get dirty and hurt. + +They stop at the bottom of the hill. They are sad and scared. They look for the ball. They see the ball is flat and broken. + +"Oh no, our ball!" Tom cries. + +"It's okay, Tom. We can get a new ball." Lily says. + +She hugs Tom. She sees a scratch on his arm. + +"Does it hurt?" She asks. + +"A little bit." Tom says. + +She kisses his arm. + +"There, it will be fine." She says. + +They get up and walk to the bench. They sit and wait for their moms. They hold hands.

I want it!" + +"I want it too!" Sue says. "It is so soft and cute. Can we have it, mom?" + +Their moms look at the price tag. It is very expensive. They shake their heads. + +"Sorry, kids. It is too much money. We cannot buy it today. Maybe another day," Tim's mom says. + +"Maybe we can share it," Sue's mom says. "We can buy it together and take turns playing with it. What do you think?" + +Tim and Sue look at each other. They think for a moment. They like the blue elephant. But they also like their friend. They do not want to fight. + +"Okay, we can share it," Tim says. + +"Me too, we can share it," Sue says. + +Their moms smile. They pay for the blue elephant. They give it to Tim and Sue. They hug it and thank their moms. + +"Thank you, mom. You are the best," Tim says. + +"Thank you, mom. You are the best too," Sue says. + +They go home happy. They play with the blue elephant. They take turns and share. They are good friends. The blue elephant is happy too. It has two friends who love it. +Lily and Anna are sisters. They like to play in the park. They swing, slide and run. They have fun. + +One day, they see a big hill. They want to climb it. They hold hands and go up. The hill is steep and high. They are brave. + +But when they reach the top, Lily slips. She falls down the hill. She rolls and bumps. She cries. Anna is scared. She shouts, "Lily, Lily, are you okay?" + +Lily stops at the bottom. She is hurt. She has scratches and bruises. She feels terrible. She says, "Anna, Anna, help me!" + +Anna runs down the hill. She hugs Lily. She says, "I'm sorry, Lily. I'm here. You'll be okay." She kisses Lily's boo-boos.

One day, they see a big sign. The sign says: "Talent Show for Kids. Come and show your skills on the stage. You can win a rich prize." + +Sara and Tom are excited. They want to join the talent show. They go to their teacher and ask her. + +"Teacher, can we be in the talent show? We can sing a song together. We practice a lot." + +The teacher smiles and says: "Of course you can, Sara and Tom. You are very good singers. I will sign you up for the show. But you have to accept the rules. You have to be on time, listen to the judges, and be nice to the other kids." + +Sara and Tom nod and say: "We accept the rules, teacher. Thank you for helping us." + +The day of the show comes. Sara and Tom are nervous but happy. They wear their best clothes and go to the stage. They see many kids with different talents. Some can dance, some can tell jokes, some can play instruments. + +Sara and Tom wait for their turn. They hold hands and say: "We can do this. We are a good team." + +They go on the stage and sing their song. They sing loud and clear. They look at each other and smile. The audience claps and cheers. Sara and Tom feel proud and happy. + +The judges announce the winners. Sara and Tom are the winners. They get a big trophy and a rich prize. They hug each other and thank the judges. They also thank their teacher and their friends. They say: "This is the best day ever. We are so lucky to have each other." +Ben and Mia like to go to the farm with Mom and Dad. They see many animals there. They see cows, pigs, chickens, and horses. But their favorite animal is the goat. + +The goat is white and brown. He has horns and a beard. He likes to eat grass and hay. He also likes to play with Ben and Mia. He jumps and runs with them. He lets them pet him and feed him. He makes funny noises. He seems happy. + +One day, Ben and Mia see a new animal at the farm. It is a baby goat. He is very small and cute. He has soft fur and tiny horns. He follows his mom everywhere. He tries to jump and run like the big goat, but he falls sometimes. He makes squeaky noises. He seems happy too. + +Ben and Mia want to play with the baby goat. They ask Mom and Dad if they can. Mom and Dad say yes, but they have to be gentle and careful. They don't want to scare or hurt the baby goat. Ben and Mia nod and smile. They go to the baby goat and say hello. They pet him and feed him. They play with him and his mom. They have fun. They are happy. +Tim and Mia are young friends who like to play together. One day, they go to the park with their moms. They see a big slide, a swing, and a sandbox. They run to the slide and take turns going down. They have fun and laugh a lot. + +After a while, they feel hungry. Their moms call them and say they have a surprise for them. They go to a nearby bench and see a big box of pizza. Tim and Mia love pizza. They open the box and see cheese, pepperoni, and pineapple on the pizza. + +"Yum, pizza!" Tim says. He takes a slice and bites it. He likes the cheese and the pepperoni, but he does not like the pineapple. He makes a face and spits it out. + +"Mia, do you like pineapple?" he questions. + +Mia nods. She takes a slice and bites it. She likes the cheese, the pepperoni, and the pineapple. She thinks the pineapple is sweet and juicy. + +"Yes, I like pineapple. It is good," she answers. + +She sees Tim's face and smiles. She offers him her slice. + +"Do you want to trade?" she questions. + +Tim nods. He gives her his slice and takes hers. He eats the cheese and the pepperoni, and gives the pineapple to Mia. She eats the pineapple and thanks him. + +They both enjoy their pizza and share with their moms. They are happy and full. They thank their moms for the surprise and hug them. Then they go back to play in the park. They are young friends who like to play and eat pizza. +Sara and Ben were playing in the sand. They liked to make castles and dig holes. Sara found a shiny thing in the sand. It was a jewel. She was very happy. + +"Look, Ben, I found a jewel!" she said. "It is so pretty and sparkly. I want to keep it." + +Ben looked at the jewel. He wanted it too. He tried to grab it from Sara. Sara did not let him. They started to fight. + +"Give me the jewel, Sara!" Ben said. "It is mine. I saw it first." + +"No, Ben, it is mine. I found it first." Sara said. "You have many toys. I have none. Let me have the jewel." + +They pulled and pushed. The jewel fell from their hands. It rolled into the water. They ran after it. But the water was too fast. The jewel was gone. + +They stopped and looked at each other. They were sad and wet. The sand was dry. + +"I'm sorry, Sara." Ben said. "I should not have tried to take your jewel. It was not nice." + +"I'm sorry, Ben." Sara said. "I should have shared my jewel with you. It was not fair." + +They hugged and said sorry. They went back to the sand. They played together. They did not mention the jewel again. They were friends. +Jill and Tom were twins. They liked to play in their big house. One day, they found a new game. They wanted to see who could go up and down the stairs the fastest. + +"Ready, set, go!" Jill said. She and Tom started to run up the stairs. They counted each stair as they went. "One, two, three, four, five..." + +But when they got to the top, they saw something strange. There was a door that they had never seen before. It was not a regular door. It was small and round and had a lock on it. + +"What is that?" Tom asked. + +"I don't know. Let's find out!" Jill said. She tried to open the door, but it was locked. She looked for a key, but there was none. + +"Maybe Mom or Dad know," Tom said. "Let's go ask them." + +They ran down the stairs again. They counted each stair as they went. "Ten, nine, eight, seven, six..." + +But when they got to the bottom, they saw something else strange. There was a big hole in the wall. It was not a regular hole. It was dark and deep and had a sign on it. + +"What is that?" Jill asked. + +"I don't know. Let's find out!" Tom said. He tried to look into the hole, but it was too dark. He looked for a flashlight, but there was none. + +"Maybe Mom or Dad know," Jill said. "Let's go ask them." + +They ran to the living room, where Mom and Dad were sitting on the couch. They looked happy and relaxed. + +"Mom, Dad, we have a question," Jill said. + +"What is it, sweeties?" Mom asked. + +"We found a door and a hole in the house. They are not regular. What are they?" Tom asked. + +Mom and Dad looked at each other and smiled. They had a secret. + +"Well, you see, the door and the hole are part of a surprise we have for you. We wanted to make your birthday special, so we built you a playroom in the attic and a slide in the basement. The door is the entrance to the playroom, and the hole is the exit from the slide. We were going to show you tomorrow, but since you found them, we can show you now. Do you want to see?" Mom said. + +Jill and Tom gasped. They were so excited. They hugged Mom and Dad and thanked them. + +"Yes, yes, yes!" they said. + +Mom and Dad took them by the hand and led them to the stairs. They started to go up and down the stairs again, but this time, they did not count. They just smiled and laughed. They had the best birthday ever. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. Lily had a doll and Ben had a car. They were having fun, but they also wanted to see what was in the big box on the shelf. + +"Let's open the box!" Lily said. "Maybe there is something interesting inside." + +"No, we can't!" Ben said. "Mom said the box is not for us. It is for her work. She will be angry if we touch it." + +Lily did not listen to Ben. She climbed on the sofa and reached for the box. She pulled it down and opened it. Inside, there was a lot of dust and papers. + +"Achoo!" Lily sneezed. The dust made her nose tickle. She sneezed again and again. + +Ben saw Lily sneezing and ran to her. He was worried. He tried to take the box away from her, but she held it tight. + +"Stop it, Lily!" Ben said. "You are making a mess. And you are sick. Give me the box!" + +"No, I want to see!" Lily said. She sneezed again and some papers flew out of the box. She looked at them and saw they had many words and numbers on them. + +"What are these?" Lily asked. She thought they were interesting. + +"They are mom's papers!" Ben said. "They are very important. She needs them for her work. You are ruining them!" + +Lily did not care. She kept looking at the papers and sneezing. She felt something warm and wet on her chest. She looked down and saw blood. She had sneezed so hard that she had hurt her nose. + +Lily started to cry. She dropped the box and the papers. She ran to Ben and hugged him. She was scared and sorry. + +"Ben, help me!" Lily said. "My nose is bleeding. And I made a big mistake. I'm sorry, Ben. I'm sorry, mom." + +Ben hugged Lily back. He was sad and angry. He did not know what to do. He heard mom coming home. He heard her footsteps and her voice. + +"Hello, kids! I'm back! I have some good news for you. I finished my work and I got a big reward. Do you want to see what's in the box?" + +Mom opened the door and saw the living room. She saw the box and the papers on the floor. She saw the dust and the blood. She saw Lily and Ben crying. + +Mom was shocked and furious. She screamed. She dropped her bag and ran to the kids. She grabbed them and shook them. + +"What have you done? What have you done?" Mom yelled. "You ruined everything! You ruined my work! You ruined my reward! You ruined my life! How could you be so stupid and naughty? You are the worst kids ever!" + +Lily and Ben were terrified. They did not understand why mom was so angry. They tried to explain, but mom did not listen. She slapped them and pushed them away. She picked up the box and the papers and threw them in the trash. She stormed out of the living room and locked herself in her room. + +Lily and Ben were left alone. They were hurt and confused. They had no toys, no reward, no mom. They had nothing. They wished they had never opened the box. They wished they had never sneezed. They wished they had never been born. +Sara was restless. She did not want to nap. She wanted to play with her toys. But Mom said she had to nap. Mom said naps were good for her. Sara did not think so. + +She lay in her bed and looked at the vase on the shelf. The vase was pretty. It had flowers on it. Sara liked flowers. She wanted to touch the vase. She wondered how it felt. + +She got out of her bed and tiptoed to the shelf. She reached for the vase. She leaned on the shelf. But the shelf was not strong. It wobbled. The vase wobbled too. It fell off the shelf. It broke on the floor. It made a loud noise. + +Mom heard the noise. She ran to Sara's room. She saw the broken vase. She saw Sara's scared face. She was angry and sad. + +"Sara, what did you do?" Mom asked. "Why did you break the vase?" + +"I'm sorry, Mom," Sara said. "I wanted to touch it. I leaned on the shelf. It was an accident." + +Mom sighed. She hugged Sara. She was not angry anymore. She was still sad. + +"I know, Sara," Mom said. "But you have to be careful. The vase was special. It was a gift from Grandma. She is not here anymore. She loved you very much." + +Sara felt sorry too. She loved Grandma. She missed her. She wished she did not break the vase. + +"I'm sorry, Mom," Sara said again. "I love you. I love Grandma." + +Mom smiled. She kissed Sara. She loved her too. + +"It's okay, Sara," Mom said. "We can't fix the vase. But we can remember Grandma. We can look at her pictures. We can tell stories about her. We can keep her in our hearts." + +Sara nodded. She felt better. She wanted to nap now. She wanted to dream of Grandma. She wanted to see her flowers. She held Mom's hand. They walked to her bed. They lay down together. They closed their eyes. They napped. +Ben and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to water the flowers with the hose. The hose was old and had many holes. Sometimes the water came out in funny ways. + +"Look, Lily, the hose is making a rainbow!" Ben said, pointing to the spray of water in the sun. + +"Wow, it's so pretty!" Lily said, smiling. She ran to the hose and tried to catch the rainbow with her hands. + +But then, something made her sneeze. It was a bee. The bee was flying near the flowers and did not like the water. It buzzed angrily and flew towards Lily. + +"Achoo! Achoo! Achoo!" Lily sneezed, dropping the hose. The water splashed on her face and clothes. + +"Help, Ben, there's a bee!" Lily cried, running away from the hose and the bee. + +Ben saw the bee and picked up the hose. He aimed the water at the bee and said, "Go away, bee, leave Lily alone!" + +The water hit the bee and made it wet. The bee did not like that. It flew away, looking for a dry place. + +Lily stopped running and saw that Ben had scared the bee away. She ran to Ben and hugged him. + +"Thank you, Ben, you are so brave!" Lily said, smiling. + +"You're welcome, Lily, you are my best friend!" Ben said, smiling too. + +They laughed and went back to playing with the hose and the flowers. They did not sneeze anymore. They had fun in the garden. +Ben likes to swim in the sea. He likes to see the fish and the plants. He likes to play with the waves and the sand. But his favorite thing is to look for shrimp. + +Shrimp are small and pink. They have many legs and a tail. They can swim very fast and hide in the rocks. Ben thinks shrimp are very intelligent. He wants to be friends with them. + +One day, Ben finds a big shrimp near a coral. He swims closer and says hello. The shrimp looks at him and wiggles its antennae. Ben smiles and offers a piece of seaweed. The shrimp takes it and nibbles it. Ben is happy. He has made a new friend. He names the shrimp Sam. + +Ben and Sam swim together and have fun. They explore the sea and find more shrimp. They join a group of shrimp and play games. Ben learns how to swim like a shrimp and how to communicate with them. He feels like he is part of the shrimp family. + +Ben's mom calls him from the shore. It is time to go home. Ben says goodbye to Sam and the other shrimp. He promises to come back soon. He swims to the beach and hugs his mom. He tells her about his adventure. His mom listens and smiles. She is proud of her intelligent son. +Sara likes to spin. She spins in the park, she spins in the yard, she spins in her room. She spins so fast that she feels dizzy and happy. She laughs and shouts, "I am a spinning star!" + +One day, Sara spins too much. She spins and spins and spins, and then she falls down. She feels sick and sad. She cries and says, "I want to go home!" + +Mom hears Sara and runs to her. She hugs her and says, "It's okay, Sara. You just spun too much. Let's go home and rest." She picks her up and carries her to the car. + +On the way home, Sara sees a big truck. The truck has a lot of wheels and makes a lot of noise. It also has a big sign that says, "Crazy Spinners". Sara points and says, "Look, Mom, crazy spinners!" + +Mom smiles and says, "Yes, Sara, those are crazy spinners. They spin things for fun. But they don't spin too much, or they will feel sick and sad, like you. Do you want to be a crazy spinner, Sara?" + +Sara shakes her head and says, "No, Mom, I don't want to be a crazy spinner. I just want to be a spinning star. But not today. Today I want to be a sleeping star." + +Mom nods and says, "That's a good idea, Sara. You can be a sleeping star today, and a spinning star tomorrow. But remember, don't spin too much, or you will fall down. I love you, Sara." + +Sara says, "I love you, Mom." She closes her eyes and falls asleep. She dreams of spinning and shining in the sky. She is a happy star. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play with their toys. One day, they found a big ship in a box in the garage. It was shiny and had many buttons and lights. They wanted to play with it, but they did not ask their mom or dad. + +They took the ship to their room and put it on the floor. They pressed the buttons and the ship made noises and flashed. They pretended to be pirates and sailors and had fun. But they were not quiet. They shouted and laughed and made a lot of noise. + +Their mom heard them and came to their room. She was not happy. She saw the ship and said, "Where did you get this? This is not yours. This is your dad's. He got it for his birthday. He loves it very much. You should not take things that are not yours without asking. That is not nice." + +Tom and Lily felt bad. They did not know it was their dad's ship. They thought it was a toy. They said, "We are sorry, mom. We did not mean to be bad. We just wanted to play. We like the ship. It is cool." + +Mom said, "I know you like the ship, but you have to respect other people's things. You have to ask before you touch them. And you have to be quiet when you play. You do not want to disturb others. That is how you show kindness and manners." + +Tom and Lily nodded. They blinked their eyes and said, "We understand, mom. We will be good. We will ask next time. We will be quiet. We are sorry, dad." + +Mom smiled and hugged them. She said, "It's okay. I forgive you. But you have to give the ship back to your dad. He will be home soon. He will be happy to see you and the ship. Maybe he will let you play with it together. But you have to ask him first. And you have to be careful and gentle with it. It is not a toy. It is a special gift." + +Tom and Lily agreed. They took the ship and put it back in the box. They waited for their dad to come home. They wanted to say sorry to him and ask him to play with the ship. They learned their lesson. They learned to be respectful and quiet. They learned to love their dad and his ship. +Tom and Sue wanted to go to the park with their friends. They had a plan. They would pack a cooler with snacks and drinks, and take their bikes and toys. They were very excited. + +But when they got to the park, they saw that Ben was there. Ben was bossy. He always told them what to do and what to play. He did not like to share. He saw their cooler and said, "What do you have in there? Give me some!" + +Tom and Sue did not want to give Ben their snacks and drinks. They said, "No, Ben. This is ours. We have a plan. We want to play with our friends and have a picnic. You can play with us if you are nice and share." + +Ben did not like their plan. He said, "No, I don't want to play with you. I want to play with your cooler. It is mine now. Give it to me or I will take it!" He tried to grab the cooler from Tom. + +Tom and Sue were scared and angry. They shouted, "No, Ben! Stop! You are mean and rude. You can't have our cooler. Go away!" They held on to the cooler and ran to their friends. + +Their friends saw what was happening and came to help. They said, "Ben, you are wrong. You can't take Tom and Sue's cooler. They have a plan. They are nice and share. You are bossy and greedy. You need to say sorry and leave them alone." + +Ben felt ashamed and sad. He realized he was wrong. He said, "I'm sorry, Tom and Sue. I'm sorry, everyone. I was bossy and greedy. I don't want to be like that. Can I play with you and share your cooler?" + +Tom and Sue looked at each other. They decided to give Ben another chance. They said, "OK, Ben. You can play with us and share our cooler. But you have to be nice and follow our plan. We want to have fun and be friends." + +Ben nodded and smiled. He said, "OK, I will be nice and follow your plan. I want to have fun and be friends, too." He joined them and they all played and had a picnic. They had a good time and learned to get along. +Tom and Lily liked to read books. They had many books on their bookshelf. They would pick a book and sit on the floor or on the sofa and read. They would look at the pictures and say the words. They had fun with the books. + +One day, Tom and Lily were reading books when they heard a loud noise. It was their baby brother, Ben. He was crying in his crib. Tom and Lily ran to see what was wrong. They saw that Ben had dropped his toy and was sad. They picked up the toy and gave it to him. They hugged him and said, "Don't cry, Ben. We care about you. We love you." + +Ben stopped crying and smiled. He held his toy and looked at Tom and Lily. He said, "Thank you, Tom. Thank you, Lily. I love you too." Tom and Lily smiled back. They said, "You're welcome, Ben. Do you want to read a book with us?" Ben nodded. He said, "Yes, please." + +Tom and Lily took Ben to their bookshelf. They let him choose a book. He picked a book with animals. They carried him to the sofa and sat with him. They read the book together. They pointed at the animals and said their names. They made the sounds of the animals. They laughed and had fun with the book. They were happy. +Sara and Ben are playing with their toys in the living room. Sara has a doll and Ben has a car. They are making noises and pretending to have fun. + +"Vroom, vroom, my car is fast and strong!" Ben says. + +"My doll is pretty and smart, she can sing a song!" Sara says. + +Sara makes her doll sing a song. It is a song she learned at school. She likes the song very much. + +"La, la, la, I love the sun and the moon and the stars!" Sara sings. + +Ben does not like the song. He thinks it is stupid and boring. He wants Sara to stop singing. + +"Stop, stop, stop, your song is stupid and silly!" Ben says. + +He grabs Sara's doll and tries to take it away from her. Sara does not want to give her doll to Ben. She holds it tight and pulls it back. + +"Let go, let go, let go, this is my doll and my song!" Sara says. + +They tug and pull and fight over the doll. The doll is not happy. She does not like to be pulled and tugged and fought over. She wants to sing her song and be loved. + +She makes a loud noise. "Ouch, ouch, ouch, you are hurting me!" She says. + +Sara and Ben are surprised. They stop fighting and look at the doll. The doll is talking to them. They have never heard a doll talk before. + +They drop the doll on the floor. They are scared and confused. They do not know what to do. + +The doll is sad and angry. She does not like to be dropped on the floor. She does not like to be scared and confused. She wants to sing her song and be loved. + +She makes another loud noise. "You are bad, bad, bad, you do not deserve me!" She says. + +She gets up from the floor and walks away. She leaves Sara and Ben behind. She goes to find someone who will love her and her song. + +Sara and Ben are sorry. They do not want to lose their doll. They do not want to be bad. They want to be good and play nicely. + +They run after the doll and call her name. "Please, please, please, come back, we are sorry, we love you and your song!" They say. + +But the doll does not listen. She does not look back. She does not care. She is gone. +Anna and Ben are brother and sister. They like to play together in the garden. One day, they see a big box near the fence. They wonder what is inside. + +Anna is enthusiastic. She wants to open the box and see what is inside. She thinks it might be a toy or a surprise. She runs to the box and tries to lift the lid. + +Ben is not so enthusiastic. He is afraid of what is inside. He thinks it might be a snake or a spider. He stays away from the box and tells Anna to stop. + +Anna does not listen to Ben. She decides to open the box anyway. She lifts the lid and looks inside. She sees something soft and fluffy. She smiles and says, "Look, Ben, it's a puppy!" + +Ben hears Anna and comes closer. He sees the puppy and feels happy. He decides to pet the puppy and play with it. He says, "Sorry, Anna, I was wrong. The box is not scary. The box is fun!" + +Anna and Ben hug the puppy and laugh. They decide to name the puppy Spot and take it to their house. They are happy to have a new friend. They thank the box and the fence for the surprise. +Anna liked to paint. She had many colors and brushes. She painted flowers and trees and animals. She was a painter. + +One day, her brother Max came into her room. He saw her paints. He wanted to play with them. He did not ask Anna. He grabbed some paints and a brush. He started to paint on the wall. + +Anna saw him. She was angry. She shouted, "Stop! That is my paint! You are making a mess!" + +Max did not listen. He laughed. He painted more on the wall. He painted a big red monster. + +Anna was frustrated. She tried to take the paint from Max. They pulled and pushed. The paint spilled on the floor. They both got dirty. + +Mom heard the noise. She came into the room. She saw the wall and the floor and the children. She was not happy. She said, "What are you doing? This is not how you paint!" + +She made Max and Anna clean the wall and the floor. She took away the paints. She said, "You need to share and respect each other's things. And you need to ask before you use someone else's paint." + +Max and Anna said they were sorry. They hugged each other. They learned their lesson. They decided to paint together next time. But only on paper. +Tom and Lily were playing with their toys in the garden. They had a big box of blocks and they wanted to build something fun. Tom had an idea. + +"Let's make a volcano!" he said. "We can use the red blocks for the fire and the brown blocks for the rock." + +Lily liked the idea. She helped Tom pile up the blocks in a cone shape. They left a hole at the top for the fire. They were very jolly and proud of their volcano. + +But then, Sam came along. Sam was their big brother and he was very mean. He saw the volcano and he laughed. + +"What is this? A volcano? That's silly. Volcanoes are not made of blocks. They are made of lava and ash. And they are very hot and dangerous. You can't play with them." + +He kicked the volcano and the blocks fell down. Tom and Lily were very sad and angry. They cried and shouted at Sam. + +"Sam, you are very bad! You broke our volcano! We worked hard to make it. You should mind your own business and leave us alone!" + +Sam did not care. He just walked away, smirking. He thought he was very smart and clever. + +Tom and Lily hugged each other and tried to fix their volcano. They did not want to give up. They still wanted to play and have fun. They knew that Sam was wrong. Volcanoes were not silly. They were amazing and beautiful. And they could make them with their blocks and their imagination. +Lily and Max were playing in the garden. They liked to look for bugs and flowers. Lily saw a frog on a leaf. She ran to catch it. + +"Look, Max, I found a frog!" she said. "He is green and wet and flexible. He can bend his legs and jump very high." + +Max came to see the frog. He wanted to touch it too. He reached out his hand. + +"Can I hold him, Lily?" he asked. + +Lily shook her head. "No, Max, you can't. He is my frog. I need him for my collection. I have a jar with water and grass for him. He will be happy there." + +Max was sad. He liked frogs. He did not have a collection. He wanted to play with the frog. + +"Please, Lily, let me hold him for a little bit. I will be gentle. I will give him back to you. Please, please, please," he begged. + +Lily thought for a moment. She liked Max. He was her friend. She did not want to make him sad. She decided to share the frog. + +"Okay, Max, you can hold him for a little bit. But be careful. He might jump away. And you have to give him back to me when I say so. Deal?" she said. + +Max nodded. He was happy. He took the frog from Lily. He felt his smooth skin and his bumpy back. He watched his eyes blink and his mouth open. He saw his tongue flick out. + +"Wow, he is so cool, Lily. Thank you for letting me hold him. He is the best frog ever," he said. + +Lily smiled. She was glad that Max liked the frog. She was glad that she shared him. She knew that sharing was nice. She and Max played with the frog for a while. Then they put him back in the jar. They gave him a name. They called him Hoppy. They agreed to take turns to look after him. They were happy. They were friends. They had a frog. +Sara and Ben wanted to decorate their room for Mom's birthday. They had paper, scissors, glue and crayons. They cut out stars, hearts and flowers from the paper. They glued them on a long string. They wanted to hang the string on the wall. + +"Let's measure how long the string is," Sara said. She held one end of the string and gave the other end to Ben.

She asked her dad, "What if the mama and papa bird think I'm going to take their babies away?" + +Her dad replied, "I'm sure they will understand that you are trying to observe the birds respectfully. Your brain is comfortable and they can sense that you won't do any harm.

They played dress-up and had a fun day together. +One day, a little boy named Tim wanted to ride his bike. But he needed to borrow a helmet to be safe.

The chimney was dark and big. The boy and girl liked to look at the chimney. + +One day, the boy and girl were playing near the chimney. They saw a bird fly into the dark chimney.

But we can still play with it." Tim and his mom found a ball and started to play catch with the net. The dirty net made the game more fun because it was hard to catch the ball with the holes. + +As they played, a little girl named Sue came over. She said, "Can I play with you?" Tim and his mom said, "Yes, of course!" Sue didn't mind the dirty net. They all played together and had a great time at the park. +Tom and Sam are best friends. They like to play with cars and trucks. They have many cars and trucks in their room.

Some were red, some were yellow, some were pink. Anna and Ben liked the pink ones best. They smelled sweet. + +One day, they saw a new flower. It was big and green. It had no color. Anna and Ben wondered what it was. They asked their mom. She said it was a special flower. It only bloomed at night. It had a surprise inside. + +Anna and Ben wanted to see the surprise. They decided to stay up late. They sneaked out of their beds. They went to the garden. They saw the big green flower. It was still closed. They waited and waited. + +Suddenly, they heard a pop. The flower opened. It was not pink. It was not yellow. It was not red. It was white. It was bright. It was beautiful. Anna and Ben gasped. They saw the surprise. It was a star. + +The star shone in the dark. It made the flower glow. It made the garden sparkle. It made Anna and Ben smile. They reached out to touch it. But then, they felt something wet. It was rain. The rain came down fast. It made the star dim. It made the flower close. It made Anna and Ben run. + +They ran back to their beds. They were wet and cold. But they were happy. They had seen the star. They had seen the flower bloom. They had seen the surprise. They hugged each other. They said good night. They dreamed of the star. They dreamed of the flower. They dreamed of their friend. +One night, Tom saw a big light in the sky. It was a comet. It was very bright and fast. Tom liked the comet. He wanted to see it again. + +But the next night, the sky was dark. There was no comet. Tom was sad. He asked his mom, "Where is the comet? I want to see it." + +His mom said, "The comet is far away. It only comes once in a long time. But it will come back someday. Don't be sad." + +Tom said, "But I miss the comet. It was so pretty. Can we make it come back?" + +His mom said, "No, we can't make it come back. But we can do something else. We can make a picture of the comet. We can use paper and crayons and glitter. We can hang it on the wall. Then we can see it every day." + +Tom liked that idea. He said, "Yes, let's do that. Let's make a picture of the comet." + +So they did. They used paper and crayons and glitter. They made a big and bright and fast comet. They hung it on the wall. Tom was happy. He said, "Look, mom. We made the comet. We restored the comet. It is good." +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a bucket and a spade. They make sand castles and dig holes. + +One day, they see a big slide. It is shiny and red.

He laughs and says, "That was fun!" + +Mia goes next. She sits on the slide and says, "Whee!" She slides down fast and lands on the grass. But she does not laugh. She cries and says, "Ow!" She has a scratch on her knee. It hurts and bleeds. + +Tom runs to Mia and says, "Are you okay?" He sees her scratch and says, "I'm sorry. That looks bad." He gives her a hug and says, "Do you want to go to the nurse?" + +Mia nods and says, "Yes, please." She is miserable. She does not want to play anymore. She wants to go home. She picks up her bucket and spade and says, "Bye, slide. You are mean." + +Tom picks up his bucket and spade and says, "Bye, slide. You are not fun." He holds Mia's hand and says, "Come on, let's go." He walks with Mia to the nurse. He hopes she will feel better soon. He is a good friend. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to explore. One day, they went to the park with their mom. Mom said, "Stay on the path and behave. Do not go too far or touch anything strange." + +Tom and Lily nodded and ran on the path. They saw flowers, birds, and bugs. They had fun. But then, Tom saw something shiny in the grass. He wanted to see what it was. He left the path and went to the grass. Lily followed him. + +They found a red pepper in the grass. It looked like a toy. Tom picked it up and said, "Look, Lily, a red toy!" He bit the pepper and made a face. It was spicy! It burned his mouth and made him cry. Lily was scared and cried too. + +Mom heard them and ran to them. She saw the pepper and took it away. She gave them water and hugged them. She said, "That is not a toy, that is a pepper. It is spicy and can hurt you. You should not leave the path and touch anything strange. You should behave." + +Tom and Lily said sorry and drank the water. They learned their lesson. They went back to the path and behaved. They did not touch anything strange again. They still had fun. +Lisa and Tom were very happy. They were going to see the reef with their dad. The reef was a big place under the water, where many fish and plants lived.

It seemed to say, "Welcome to the reef!" + +Lisa and Tom had a lot of fun. They saw many more fish and plants. They thanked the turtle and the starfish for letting them visit. They swam back to the boat with their dad. They were very happy. They had seen the lovely reef. +Lila and Ben are playing in their room. They have a big sheet that they use to make a tent. They put the sheet over their bed and some chairs. They crawl inside and pretend they are camping. + +"Look, Ben, I have a flashlight!" Lila says. She turns it on and off. "It makes the tent bright and dark." + +"Wow, that's cool, Lila!" Ben says. He has a toy car that he drives on the sheet. "Vroom, vroom, this is my fast car!" + +Suddenly, they hear a loud noise. It is their big brother, Tom. He is jumping on his bed in the next room. He likes to make noise and mess up their games. + +"Stop it, Tom!" Lila shouts.

You can't have it!" + +Lila and Ben are very angry. They get up and try to get the sheet from Tom. They pull and tug and shout. Tom is bigger and stronger, but Lila and Ben are smarter. They tickle him under his arms and make him laugh. He drops the sheet and falls on the floor. + +Lila and Ben get the sheet and run back to their bed. They make their tent again and crawl inside. They are happy and proud. They have their sheet and their flashlight and their car. They don't need Tom. + +They say to each other, "This is our tent. We are the best!" +Tom is a dog. He likes to play and run and bark. He has a red collar with his name on it. He lives with his family in a big house. + +One day, Tom sees a cat in the garden. The cat is black and white and has a bell on its collar. Tom wants to chase the cat and make it run away. He thinks it is fun. + +He runs to the cat and barks loudly. The cat does not run away. It looks at Tom and says, "Meow. You are a silly dog. You can't catch me. Your collar is too tight and your fur is too smelly." + +Tom is surprised. He does not like what the cat says. He thinks the cat is mean and rude. He says, "Woof. You are a mean cat. You can't joke with me. Your collar is too noisy and your fur is too dirty." + +The cat and the dog start to argue. They say bad things to each other. They do not listen to each other. They do not have fun. + +Then, Tom's family comes out of the house. They see Tom and the cat. They say, "Stop! Stop! You are making too much noise. You are not being nice. You should be friends, not enemies." + +They pick up Tom and the cat and bring them inside. They give them some water and some food. They pet them and talk to them. They say, "You are both good animals. You have nice collars and soft fur. You can joke with each other, but you have to be kind and respectful. You can play and have fun, but you have to share and take turns." + +Tom and the cat listen to the family. They feel sorry for what they said. They look at each other and say, "Sorry. Sorry. You are not so bad. You are not so silly. You are not so mean. You are not so rude." + +They smile and wag their tails. They eat and drink and rest. They decide to be friends, not enemies.

Her mom says, "That word is different. It is from another language. It means 'hello' in that language." + +Lily is curious. She wants to learn more words from other languages. She asks her mom to teach her some. Her mom smiles and says, "Okay, I will teach you some words. But you have to remember, not everyone speaks the same language.

They ran to the flower and tried to catch the butterfly. But the butterfly was fast and flew away. + +"Let me try!" Max said. He grabbed the book from Lily and looked for the butterfly. He saw it on another flower and ran after it. + +"No, it's my turn!" Lily said. She followed Max and tried to get the book back. They both reached the flower and pulled the book. The book tore in half. + +They both gasped and looked at the book. They felt sad and angry. They had ruined their book. They started to cry. + +Their mom heard them and came to see what was wrong. She saw the book and the butterfly. She hugged them and said, "I'm sorry, my loves. I know you liked this book. But you can't catch a butterfly. It's too difficult. And you shouldn't fight over the book. You can share it and observe together." + +She took them inside and gave them some glue and tape. She helped them fix the book. Then she gave them some cookies and milk. She said, "Why don't you observe the butterfly from the window? It's still there, on the flower. Maybe it will come back tomorrow. And maybe you can find other things to observe in the garden. There are many wonders in summer." + +Lily and Max nodded and smiled. They said, "Thank you, mom. We're sorry. We love you. And we love the butterfly." They hugged their mom and ate their cookies. They looked at the window and saw the butterfly. It was beautiful. They decided to observe it and other things together. They learned to share and be kind. They had a happy summer. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play together. But sometimes they would disagree about things. One day, they wanted to eat some yogurt for a snack. Mom gave them each a bowl and a spoon. But Lily wanted Ben's spoon, because it was wide and shiny. Ben wanted to keep his spoon, because it was his favorite. + +"Give me your spoon, Ben!" Lily said. + +"No, it's mine! You have your own spoon!" Ben said. + +They both pulled on the spoon, trying to take it from each other. The spoon snapped in half, and the yogurt spilled on the floor. Mom heard the noise and came to see what happened. + +"Oh no, what did you do?" Mom asked. + +"We disagree about the spoon!" Lily and Ben said. + +Mom sighed and shook her head. She took the broken spoon and the bowls and threw them in the trash. She gave Lily and Ben a napkin to wipe their faces and hands. + +"Next time, you need to share and be nice to each other. Spoons are not worth fighting over. Now, go and play with something else." Mom said. + +Lily and Ben felt sorry for breaking the spoon and making a mess. They hugged each other and said sorry. Then they went to play with their blocks, and agreed to take turns. They learned that disagreeing is not fun, and that spoons are not important. +Anna loves to play with her dog, Spot. Spot is a big, black dog with white spots. He is very fast and likes to run and jump. Anna likes to throw a ball for Spot and watch him catch it. + +One day, Anna and Spot go to the park with Mom. Mom sits on a bench and reads a book. Anna and Spot run on the grass and have fun. Anna sees a big hill and wants to climb it. She throws the ball up the hill and says, "Come on, Spot! Let's go!" + +Spot runs after the ball, but he is faster than Anna. He reaches the top of the hill before Anna and sees something new. He sees a lot of sheep. They are white and fluffy and make noises. Spot thinks they are fun and wants to play with them. He barks and runs towards them. + +The sheep get scared and run away. They make loud noises and kick their legs. A man comes out of a small house and sees Spot. He is angry and shouts, "Hey, get away from my sheep! You bad dog!" + +Anna hears the man and the sheep. She realizes that Spot is in trouble. She runs up the hill as fast as she can and calls, "Spot, come back! Spot, stop!" + +Spot hears Anna and looks at her. He sees that she is worried and sad. He realizes that he did something wrong. He stops chasing the sheep and runs back to Anna. He licks her face and wags his tail. He is sorry and wants to say, "I'm sorry, Anna. I love you." + +Anna hugs Spot and says, "It's okay, Spot. I love you too. But you can't chase the sheep. They are not toys. They are animals. They have feelings. You scared them and the man." + +The man comes to Anna and Spot. He is still angry, but he sees that Anna is a little girl and Spot is a friendly dog. He says, "You should keep your dog on a leash. He could hurt my sheep or get hurt himself. This is not a place for dogs to play." + +Mom comes to Anna and Spot. She sees what happened and says, "I'm sorry, sir. We didn't know there were sheep here. We won't bother them again. Come on, Anna and Spot. Let's go home." + +Anna and Spot follow Mom. They leave the park and go home. Anna learns a lesson and Spot learns a lesson. They still love each other and still love to play. But they don't chase sheep anymore. They find other ways to have fun. +Lila and Tom were playing on the beach. They liked to make sand castles and look for shells. They saw a big boat on the water. It was noisy and had a lot of people on it. + +"Look, Lila, a boat!" Tom said. "Do you think they are going to the shore?" + +"I don't know, Tom. Maybe they are. Maybe they have something fun on the boat. Like toys or candy," Lila said. + +They ran to the edge of the water and waved at the boat. The boat came closer and closer. They heard the people on the boat shouting and laughing. + +"Hello, boat! Hello, people!" Lila and Tom yelled. + +But the boat did not stop. It kept going and going. It was too fast and too big. It made a big wave that splashed Lila and Tom. They fell down and got wet and sandy. + +"Hey, boat! That's not nice!" Tom cried. + +"Ouch, that hurt!" Lila said. + +They got up and ran to their mom. She was sitting on a towel with a book. She saw them and smiled. + +"What happened, kids? Did you have fun?" she asked. + +"No, mom. The boat was mean. It made a big wave and knocked us down. It did not say hello or sorry," Lila said. + +"Oh, I'm sorry, kids. That was not a nice boat. But don't worry, it's gone now. It won't bother you again," mom said. + +She hugged them and gave them a towel. She said they could have a snack and play some more. + +Lila and Tom felt better. They ate some cookies and drank some juice. They decided to make a new sand castle. They hoped the next boat they saw would be nicer. +Mia and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room.
