+Anna and Ben are scared. They stop squeezing the bottle. They look at Anna's mom. They feel sorry.
+
+"We're sorry, mom," Anna says. "We just wanted to play with the volcano. We didn't know it was dangerous."
+
+"Yeah, we're sorry, mom," Ben says. "We didn't mean to make a mess."
+
+Anna's mom sighs. She says, "I know you were curious, but you should have asked me first. The volcano is not a toy. It is a science experiment. You have to be careful and follow the rules. You could have asked me to help you."
+
+Anna and Ben nod. They say, "We're sorry, mom. We won't do it again."
+
+Anna's mom smiles. She says, "It's okay. I'm glad you're safe. But now you have to clean up the mess. And then you have to read a book about volcanoes. Maybe you will learn something new."
+
+Anna and Ben agree. They say, "Okay, mom. We will do that."
+
+They help Anna's mom clean up the mess. They put the volcano and the bottle and the powder back in the box. They take the box to the garage. Then they go inside the house and read a book about volcanoes. They learn that volcanoes are very interesting, but also very dangerous. They decide to be more careful next time. They also decide to ask Anna's mom to show them more science experiments. They still like to play and learn. They are good friends.
+Lily liked to whistle. She whistled when she played, when she ate, and when she went to bed. She whistled songs and sounds and words. She whistled to make her happy.
+
+One day, Lily saw a blue bird in the garden. It was a cool bird, with shiny feathers and a long tail. Lily wanted to be friends with the bird. She whistled to the bird, hoping it would whistle back. The bird looked at Lily and flew closer.
+
+Lily was excited. She whistled louder and louder, trying to make the bird like her. She reached out her hand to touch the bird. But the bird did not like Lily's whistling. The bird did not want to be friends. The bird was angry and scared.
+
+The bird bit Lily's finger with its sharp beak. Lily screamed and let go of the bird. The bird flew away, leaving Lily alone and hurt. Lily's finger was bleeding and sore. She ran to her mom, crying and whistling. She wished she had not whistled to the bird. She wished she had left the bird alone. She learned that whistling can be bad.
+Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play outside. One day, they found a big cave in the woods. They wanted to see what was inside, so they went in. It was dark and cold, but they had a flashlight and a blanket.
+
+"Wow, this cave is impressive!" Lily said. "Look at all the rocks and shapes!"
+
+"Yeah, it's cool!" Tom agreed. "Maybe we can find some treasure or animals!"
+
+They walked deeper into the cave, looking around. They saw some bats, some spiders, and some bones. They were not scared, they were curious.
+
+They came to a big room with a fire and a pot. They smelled something good. They saw a man sitting by the fire. He was big and hairy, and he had a knife and a fork.
+
+"Hello, who are you?" Lily asked.
+
+The man looked up and saw them. He smiled, but it was not a nice smile. It was a hungry smile.
+
+"I'm the cook," he said. "And you are my dinner."
+
+He got up and ran towards them, waving his knife and fork. Lily and Tom screamed and tried to run away, but it was too late. The cook caught them and put them in his pot. He added some salt and pepper and stirred them. He was very happy.
+
+The end.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a pretty rabbit in the grass. The rabbit has white fur and pink ears. It hops and nibbles on a carrot.
+
+"Look, a rabbit!" Lily says. "Can we go and pet it?"
+
+"OK, but be quiet and gentle," Ben says. "We don't want to scare it."
+
+They walk slowly to the rabbit. The rabbit looks at them with big eyes. It does not run away. Lily and Ben smile. They reach out their hands and touch the rabbit's fur. It feels soft and warm.
+
+"Hello, rabbit," Lily says. "You are so pretty. Do you have a name?"
+
+The rabbit does not answer. It wiggles its nose and makes a small sound. Lily and Ben think it is happy. They give it some of their snacks. The rabbit eats them and licks their fingers.
+
+"Thank you, rabbit," Ben says. "You are very nice. Do you want to play with us?"
+
+The rabbit nods and follows them. They run and jump and laugh. The rabbit hops and twirls and joins them. They have a lot of fun. They are all friends.
+Tom and his wife, Ann, live in a small house with a big garden. They like to grow flowers and vegetables and share them with their friends. One day, Tom goes to the market to buy some seeds and tools. He tells Ann he will return soon.
+
+But Tom does not return soon. He meets his old friend, Sam, at the market. Sam invites him to have a drink and a chat. Tom forgets about the time and the seeds and the tools. He talks and laughs with Sam for a long time.
+
+Ann waits and waits for Tom. She looks at the clock and the sun. She gets worried and angry. She thinks Tom does not care about her or the garden. She decides to go to the market and find him.
+
+She walks and walks until she sees Tom and Sam sitting at a table. She hears them talking and laughing. She feels hurt and sad. She walks up to Tom and says, "Where have you been? I have been waiting for you. You said you would return soon. You lied to me. You do not love me."
+
+Tom sees Ann and feels ashamed and sorry. He says, "I am sorry, Ann. I did not mean to lie to you. I love you very much. I just got carried away with Sam. He is my old friend. I wanted to catch up with him. Please forgive me."
+
+Ann looks at Tom and sees he is telling the truth. She loves him too. She says, "I forgive you, Tom. But do not do this again. I need you to be honest and faithful. I need you to help me with the garden. It is our home and our joy."
+
+Tom nods and hugs Ann. He says, "I am sorry, Ann. I will not do this again. I will be honest and faithful. I will help you with the garden. It is our home and our joy."
+
+They kiss and make up. They take the seeds and the tools and walk back to their small house with their big garden. They plant the seeds and water the flowers and vegetables. They smile and thank each other. They are happy and light.
+Ben and Lily were playing in the park with their dog Spot. They liked to run and jump and throw a ball for Spot to catch. Spot was very fast and happy and loved to play with them.
+
+One day, they saw an old man sitting on a bench. He had a cane in his hand and a sad face. He did not play with anyone. Ben and Lily wanted to make him happy, so they went to say hello.
+
+"Hello, sir. Do you want to play with us and Spot?" Ben asked.
+
+The old man looked at them and smiled a little. "Thank you, but I can't play. My legs are bad and I need this cane to walk. And I miss my dog. He was like Spot, but he is dead now."
+
+Ben and Lily felt sorry for the old man. They knew how much they loved Spot and how sad they would be if he was dead. They wanted to help him.
+
+"Can we sit with you and talk?" Lily asked.
+
+"Yes, you can. You are very kind," the old man said.
+
+So Ben and Lily sat with the old man and told him their names and what they liked to do. They also asked him about his dog and what he was like. The old man told them his dog's name was Rex and he was very smart and loyal and brave. He showed them a picture of Rex in his wallet.
+
+They talked for a long time and the old man felt less sad. He liked Ben and Lily and Spot. He gave them some cookies and candy from his bag.
+
+"Thank you for coming to me and being my friends. You made me happy today," the old man said.
+
+"You are welcome. We are happy to be your friends. Can we come again?" Ben asked.
+
+"Of course you can. I would like that very much," the old man said.
+
+So Ben and Lily and Spot came to the park every day and visited the old man. They played and talked and laughed and hugged. They became good friends and made each other happy.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make food with the pots and pans. They put water and salt and sugar and other things in the pots and stirred them with spoons.
+
+"Look, I made soup!" Tom said, holding a big pot. "Do you want to try some?"
+
+Lily nodded and took a sip from a bowl. She made a face and spat it out. "Yuck! This is bitter!" she said. "What did you put in it?"
+
+Tom shrugged. "I don't know. I just took what I found in the cupboard. Maybe some pepper and vinegar and coffee and lemon."
+
+Lily frowned. "That's not how you make soup, Tom. You need to use good things, like carrots and potatoes and chicken and noodles. And you need to taste it before you give it to someone else."
+
+Tom felt bad. He wanted to make Lily happy, not bitter. He said he was sorry and asked her to help him make a new soup. Lily agreed and they looked for the good things in the fridge and the drawer.
+
+They were busy chopping and peeling and boiling when they heard a loud noise. It was their mom, who had come home from work. She saw the mess in the kitchen and the pots on the stove and gasped.
+
+"Tom! Lily! What are you doing?" she asked, sounding angry and scared.
+
+Tom and Lily dropped their knives and spoons and ran to hug their mom. They said they were sorry and they were just playing and they wanted to make soup for her.
+
+Their mom looked at them and sighed. She was not angry anymore, but she was still scared. She hugged them back and said they were sweet, but they should never play with the pots and the stove without her. She said it was dangerous and they could get hurt or start a fire.
+
+Tom and Lily nodded and said they understood. They asked their mom if she wanted to try their soup. Their mom smiled and said she would, but only if they helped her clean up the kitchen first. Tom and Lily agreed and they all worked together to make the kitchen nice again. Then they sat down and ate their soup, which was not bitter, but warm and yummy.
+Anna and Ben were playing in the yard. They liked to run and jump and laugh. They had a ball that was red and round. They threw the ball to each other and caught it.
+
+"Look, Anna, I can throw the ball very high!" Ben said. He threw the ball up in the air and watched it fly.
+
+"Wow, Ben, you are so strong!" Anna said. She clapped her hands and smiled.
+
+But the ball did not come down. It went over the fence and landed in the neighbor's yard. The neighbor had a big dog that barked and growled. Anna and Ben were scared of the dog.
+
+"Oh no, Ben, what do we do?" Anna said. She hugged Ben and looked at the fence.
+
+"Maybe we can ask the neighbor to give us the ball back," Ben said. He walked to the fence and called out. "Hello, neighbor, can you please give us our ball back? It is red and round and we like it very much."
+
+The neighbor heard Ben and came out of his house. He saw the ball and the dog and the children. He was not angry. He was kind.
+
+"Sure, I can give you your ball back," the neighbor said. He went to the dog and petted it. He said something to the dog and the dog stopped barking and growling. He picked up the ball and walked to the fence. He smiled at Anna and Ben and said, "Here you go, kids, here is your ball. I'm sorry my dog scared you. He is not mean, he is just loud. He likes to play, too."
+
+He gave the ball to Ben and Ben said, "Thank you, neighbor, you are very nice. We are sorry we threw the ball over the fence. We will be more careful next time."
+
+Anna and Ben were happy to have their ball back. They thanked the neighbor again and waved goodbye. They went back to their yard and played with the ball. They had fun and they were careful. They did not throw the ball over the fence again.
+Lily was a kind girl who liked to share her toys and play with her friends. One day, she got an invitation to Ben's birthday party. She was very happy and excited. She wanted to give Ben a nice present and have fun with him and the other kids.
+
+She went to the store with her mom and picked a big red truck for Ben. She thought he would love it. She wrapped it in shiny paper and put a bow on it. She wrote "Happy Birthday Ben" on a card and drew a smiley face.
+
+The next day, she put on her prettiest dress and went to Ben's house with her mom. She rang the doorbell and waited. Ben opened the door and saw Lily. He frowned and said, "What are you doing here? You can't come to my party. You are a girl and girls are stupid. Go away!"
+
+Lily felt hurt and confused. She didn't understand why Ben was so mean to her. She had always been nice to him and wanted to be his friend. She held her present and her card and said, "But Ben, I have a invitation. See? You invited me to your party. And I have a present for you. Look, it's a big red truck. Don't you like it?"
+
+Ben snatched the present and the card from Lily's hands and threw them on the ground. He said, "I don't want your stupid present or your stupid card. I don't want you at my party. You are not my friend. You are a crybaby. Now go away and leave me alone!"
+
+Lily started to weep. She felt very sad and angry. She ran back to her mom and hugged her. Her mom tried to comfort her and said, "I'm sorry, Lily. Ben was very rude and unkind to you. He doesn't deserve your friendship or your gift. Come on, let's go home and have some ice cream. You are a sweet and lovely girl and you have many other friends who care about you."
+
+Lily nodded and wiped her tears. She said, "Thank you, mom. I love you. Can we go to the park later and play with Anna and Sam? They are my real friends. They are nice and fun and they share their toys."
+
+Her mom smiled and said, "Of course, Lily. We can do that. And maybe we can also make some cards and cookies for them. How does that sound?"
+
+Lily smiled and said, "That sounds great, mom. Let's do that."
+
+The moral of the story is: Be kind and respectful to others, even if they are different from you. Don't judge people by their appearance or gender. Don't hurt people's feelings or break their things. Friendship is a precious gift that should be valued and cherished.
+Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play together, but sometimes they fight. One day, they find a big box in the garage. They want to make something with the box.
+
+"I want to make a castle!" Sara says.
+
+"No, I want to make a rocket!" Ben says.
+
+They both pull the box and tear it. They get angry and sad.
+
+Dad comes and sees the mess. He is not happy.
+
+"What are you doing?" he asks.
+
+"We wanted to make something with the box, but we could not agree," Sara says.
+
+"Did you listen to each other?" Dad asks.
+
+"No, we did not," Ben says.
+
+Dad shakes his head.
+
+"Listen, children. You can make anything you want with the box, but you have to work together. You have to share your ideas and respect each other. You have to be original and creative. That is how you make something fun and beautiful," he says.
+
+Sara and Ben nod. They say sorry to each other. They hug and smile.
+
+They decide to make a castle-rocket with the box. They use scissors, tape, paint and stickers. They help each other and have fun. They make a very original and colorful castle-rocket. They are proud of their work.
+
+They show their castle-rocket to Dad. He is happy and proud too.
+
+He says, "You see, children. When you listen to each other and work together, you can make anything you want. You can also make each other happy. That is the best thing you can make."
+Tom likes to watch his dad work on cars. His dad is a mechanic. He fixes cars that are broken or make loud noises. Tom thinks his dad is very smart and strong.
+
+One day, Tom and his dad go to the garage. There are many cars there. Some are shiny and new, some are old and dirty. Tom sees a big red car that has a dent on the side. He asks his dad, "What happened to this car?"
+
+His dad says, "This car had an accident. Someone hit it with another car. It was very scary and loud. But don't worry, I can make it better. I can fix the dent and the lights and the wheels. Then the car will be happy and safe again."
+
+Tom nods. He watches his dad take out some tools and start to work on the car. He sees his dad hammer and drill and screw and paint. He hears his dad hum a song. He smells the oil and the metal and the paint. He feels proud of his dad.
+
+After a while, the car looks like new. It is shiny and red and has no dent. Tom's dad says, "All done. See, Tom, I fixed the car. Now it is peaceful and quiet. The owner will be very happy. Do you like it?"
+
+Tom smiles. He says, "Yes, dad, I like it. You are the best mechanic. Can I help you with the next car?"
+
+His dad hugs him. He says, "Sure, Tom, you can help me. You are my best helper. I love you, son."
+
+They walk to the next car, holding hands. They are happy and peaceful. They like to watch and work on cars together.
+Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play in the dirt. They find many worms in the dirt. They put the worms in a jar. They want to keep the worms as pets.
+
+But Mom says no. She says worms need to live in the dirt. She says worms are not good pets. She says Tom and Sam have to let the worms go. Tom and Sam are sad.
+
+They decide to hide the jar. They put the jar under the bed. They think Mom will not find the jar. They think they can keep the worms. They think the worms are loyal. They think the worms are happy.
+
+But the worms are not happy. The worms need air. The worms need water. The worms need food. The worms start to die. The jar starts to smell. Mom finds the jar. She is angry.
+
+She tells Tom and Sam to take the jar outside. She tells them to dump the worms in the dirt. She tells them to say sorry to the worms. She tells them to find better pets. Tom and Sam are sorry.
+
+They dump the worms in the dirt. They say sorry to the worms. They hope the worms will live. They hope the worms will forgive them. They look for better pets. They see a dog. The dog is friendly. The dog is loyal. The dog is happy. Tom and Sam decide to ask Mom if they can have the dog. They hope Mom will say yes.

+
+Tom and Mia are scared of the dog. They run away. But the dog runs after them. It barks loud. Tom and Mia scream. They do not know what to do.
+
+Then, they see a man. The man is nice. He has a hat and a smile. He sees the dog and the kids. He calls the dog. The dog stops barking. It runs to the man. The man pets the dog. He says, "This is Spot. He is my dog. He is friendly. He just wants to play."
+
+Tom and Mia stop screaming. They look at the man and the dog. The man says, "Do you want to pet Spot? He likes kids. He will not hurt you." He holds out his hand. Tom and Mia walk to the man. They touch the dog. The dog licks their faces. He wags his tail.
+
+Tom and Mia laugh. They are not scared anymore. They say, "Thank you, mister. You helped us. You are kind." The man says, "You are welcome, kids. I am glad you are calm. Spot likes you. He is happy." He gives them a wink. He says, "Have fun in the park. Bye-bye." He walks away with the dog.
+
+Tom and Mia wave to the man and the dog. They say, "Bye-bye, Spot. You are a good dog." They go back to play. They are happy. They are friends.
+Tom is a boy who hates iron. He does not like to touch it or see it. He thinks iron is hard and cold and ugly. He does not want to play with iron toys or wear iron clothes. He only likes soft and warm and cute things.
+
+One day, Tom goes to the park with his mom. He sees a big iron slide. He does not want to go on it. He says, "No, no, no! I hate iron!" His mom says, "It's okay, Tom. You don't have to go on it. You can play with something else." She points to a sandbox. Tom likes sand. He runs to the sandbox and starts to dig.
+
+In the sandbox, Tom finds a small iron car. He does not know it is iron. He thinks it is plastic. He likes cars. He picks it up and says, "Wow, a car! It is cute!" He starts to roll it on the sand. He makes vroom-vroom noises. He is happy.
+
+Then, he sees a magnet. He does not know what it is. He thinks it is a toy. He picks it up and says, "What is this? It is shiny!" He brings it close to the car. The magnet sticks to the car. Tom is surprised. He tries to pull them apart. He can't. He says, "Hey, let go! Let go!" He gets angry.
+
+He looks at the car. He sees that it is iron. He says, "Oh, no! It is iron! I hate iron!" He throws the car and the magnet away. He does not want to play with them anymore. He runs to his mom and says, "Mom, mom, mom! I found iron in the sandbox! I hate iron!" His mom hugs him and says, "It's okay, Tom. You don't have to play with iron. You can play with something else." She gives him a cute teddy bear. Tom likes teddy bears. He says, "Thank you, mom. I love teddy bears!" He hugs the teddy bear and smiles. He is happy.
+Lily and Max were playing in the park with their toy cars. They zoomed and crashed and raced and laughed. They had a lot of fun.
+
+But then, it was time to go home. Mommy called them and said they had to bathe. Lily and Max did not want to bathe. They wanted to play more.
+
+"No, Mommy, no!" they shouted. "We are not dirty! We are not smelly! We are not tired!"
+
+Mommy was not happy. She said they had to bathe or they would not get dessert. Lily and Max loved dessert. They loved cake and ice cream and cookies. They did not want to miss dessert.
+
+They looked at each other. They had an idea. They whispered and nodded. They ran to Mommy and said they would bathe. But they had a plan.
+
+They went to the bathroom and turned on the water. They put their toy cars in the tub. They splashed and sprayed and made bubbles. They pretended their toy cars were bathing. They did not bathe themselves.
+
+They came out of the bathroom and said they were done. They smiled and asked for dessert. Mommy looked at them. She saw their dirty faces and hands and clothes. She saw their wet hair and feet. She smelled their sour sweat.
+
+She knew they did not bathe. She was very angry. She said they lied to her. She said they could not have dessert. She said they had to bathe for real. She said they had to go to bed early.
+
+Lily and Max were very sad. They cried and begged and said they were sorry. But Mommy did not change her mind. She said they had to learn their lesson. She said they had to do what she said.
+
+They had to bathe and go to bed. They did not have dessert. They did not have victory. They had a sour day.
+Lily and Ben are playing in the park. They like to run and jump and slide. They see a big dog with a red ball. They want to play with the dog and the ball.
+
+They run to the dog and say, "Hi, dog! Can we play with you?" The dog does not like Lily and Ben. The dog growls and shows his teeth. He does not want to share his ball.
+
+Lily and Ben are scared. They try to run away, but the dog is faster. He chases them and bites their legs. They shout, "Help! Help! The dog is biting us!"
+
+The dog's owner hears them shout. He runs to the park and sees the dog and the kids. He is angry and sorry. He grabs the dog by the heel and pulls him away. He says, "Bad dog! Bad dog! I'm so sorry, kids. Are you OK?"
+
+Lily and Ben are not OK. They are hurt and bleeding. They cry and hug each other. The dog's owner calls for help. He says, "I'm so sorry. I thought he was ready to play with other kids. He never did this before."
+
+The end.
+Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They liked to number their toys and see who had more. Lily had a lot of dolls and Ben had a lot of cars.
+
+"Look, I have one, two, three, four, five dolls!" Lily said, holding them up. "How many cars do you have, Ben?"
+
+Ben counted his cars on the floor. "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. I have eight cars. I have more than you!" He said, smiling.
+
+Lily felt upset. She wanted to have more dolls than Ben. She looked around and saw a bowl of cherries on the table. She had an idea. She ran to the table and grabbed a handful of cherries. She put them in her pocket and ran back to the living room.
+
+"Look, Ben, I have more dolls now!" She said, taking out the cherries and putting them on her dolls' heads. "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. I have ten dolls. I have more than you!"
+
+Ben looked at Lily's dolls and saw the cherries. He knew they were not part of the dolls. He felt upset. He liked cherries and he wanted to eat them. He ran to the table and saw that there were only a few cherries left. He grabbed them and ate them.
+
+"Hey, those are my cherries!" Lily said, running after Ben. "Give them back!"
+
+"No, they are my cherries!" Ben said, running away from Lily. "You took them from the table!"
+
+They started to argue and chase each other around the living room. They made a lot of noise and mess. Their mom heard them and came to see what was going on.
+
+"What are you two doing?" She asked, seeing the toys, the cherries and the upset faces. "Why are you fighting?"
+
+Lily and Ben stopped and looked at their mom. They felt sorry. They knew they had done something wrong. They told their mom what had happened and why they were upset.
+
+Their mom listened and nodded. She hugged them and said, "I understand. It's normal to want to have more toys or cherries, but it's not nice to take them from each other or from the table. You should share and be kind to each other. How about we count the toys and the cherries together and see how many we have in total?"
+
+Lily and Ben agreed. They counted the toys and the cherries with their mom and saw that they had a lot of both. They decided to play together and share them. They also said sorry to each other and gave each other a hug. They felt happy again. They learned that it's more fun to number and share than to number and fight.
+Ben and Mia like to play with their toy vehicles. They have cars, trucks, buses and trains. They make noises and move them around the floor. Sometimes they pretend they are drivers or passengers.
+
+One day, Ben decides he wants to be the boss of all the vehicles. He tells Mia what to do with her toys. He says, "You have to park your car here. You have to give your bus to me. You have to follow my train." Mia does not like this. She likes to choose her own toys and games.
+
+Mia says, "No, Ben. You are not the boss of me. You are not the boss of my vehicles. I can play how I want. You can play how you want. We can share and have fun."
+
+Ben does not answer. He is angry. He wants to be the boss. He grabs Mia's bus and tries to take it away. Mia holds on to her bus and says, "Stop, Ben. That is not nice. That is not fair. Give me back my bus."
+
+Ben and Mia start to pull and push. They shout and cry. Their mom hears them and comes to see what is wrong. She sees them fighting over the bus. She says, "What is going on here? Why are you not playing nicely?"
+
+Ben and Mia stop and look at their mom. They both try to explain. They both want the bus. They both want to be the boss. Their mom says, "You both need to calm down. You both need to listen. You both need to share. You both need to be kind. You both have many vehicles. You both can play with them. You both can have fun. But you cannot be bossy. You cannot be mean. You cannot take things that are not yours. Do you understand?"
+
+Ben and Mia nod. They say, "Yes, mom. We understand. We are sorry. We will share. We will be kind. We will have fun." Their mom smiles and hugs them. She says, "That's good. I'm glad you learned your lesson. Now, why don't you play together and show me how you can use your vehicles?" Ben and Mia agree. They say, "Okay, mom. We will play together. We will use our vehicles." They pick up their toys and start to play. They make noises and move them around the floor. They pretend they are drivers or passengers. They share and have fun. They are not bossy. They are not mean. They are happy.
+Tommy loved to play with his blocks. He had many blocks of different colors and shapes. He liked to build towers and bridges and castles with his blocks. He was very proud of his blocks.
+
+One day, Tommy saw a furry cat in his yard. The cat was black and white and had a long tail. Tommy wanted to pet the cat, but the cat was shy and ran away. Tommy followed the cat, leaving his blocks on the grass.
+
+The cat ran under a big tree, where Tommy could not see it. Tommy looked around, but he could not find the cat. He felt sad and lonely. He wanted to go back to his blocks, but he did not know the way.
+
+While Tommy was looking for the cat, a big wind came. The wind blew Tommy's blocks away. Some blocks flew into the street, where a car ran over them. Some blocks flew into the pond, where a duck ate them. Some blocks flew into the trash, where a rat took them.
+
+When Tommy finally found his way back to his yard, he saw that his blocks were gone. He cried and cried. He wished he had not left his blocks. He wished he had not chased the cat. He learned a hard lesson. He learned that he should not march away from his toys, or he might lose them. He learned that he should be happy with what he has, and not want what he can not have. He learned that he should be careful and smart, and not follow strangers. He learned that he should listen to his mom, who always told him to play safe and stay close.
+Anna is a big girl now. She is three years old. She has a new baby brother, Max. He is very small and cute. Anna loves Max, but sometimes she feels sad. Mom and Dad are very busy with Max. They do not have much time to play with Anna.
+
+One day, Mom and Dad say they have a surprise for Anna. They take her to the park. Anna is happy. She likes the park. She sees the swings, the slide, the sandbox and the ducks. She runs and plays with Mom and Dad. They push her on the swing, catch her on the slide, build a castle in the sandbox and feed the ducks. Anna feels very happy. She laughs and hugs Mom and Dad.
+

+Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big mountain far away. They wanted to go there and see what was on top.
+
+"Let's ask Mom if we can go to the mountain," Lily said.
+
+"Okay," Ben said. They ran to their mom, who was in the kitchen.
+
+"Mom, can we go to the mountain?" they asked together.
+
+Mom smiled and said, "That mountain is very famous. It is called Mount Everest. It is the highest mountain in the world. But it is too far and too cold for us to go there. Maybe when you are older, you can visit it."
+
+Lily and Ben felt sad. They wanted to see the famous mountain. They wondered what it looked like.
+
+"Can we see a picture of the mountain?" Ben asked.
+
+"Sure," Mom said. She took out a book and showed them a picture of Mount Everest. It was white and pointy, with clouds around it.
+
+"Wow, it is so big and pretty," Lily said.
+
+"Can you guess what is on top of the mountain?" Mom asked.
+
+Lily and Ben thought hard. They tried to guess what was on top of the mountain.
+
+"Is it a castle?" Lily guessed.
+
+"Is it a snowman?" Ben guessed.
+
+Mom laughed and said, "No, it is not a castle or a snowman. It is a flag. Some people who are very brave and strong climb the mountain and put a flag on top. They do it to show that they reached the highest place on earth."
+
+Lily and Ben were amazed. They thought that was very cool and exciting.
+
+"Maybe one day, we can climb the mountain and put a flag on top too," Lily said.
+
+"Maybe," Ben said. "But for now, we can pretend that our hill is the mountain and our blanket is the flag."
+
+They ran outside with their blanket and climbed their hill. They put their blanket on top and pretended that they were on Mount Everest. They felt happy and proud. They waved to their mom, who watched them from the window and smiled.
+Lily was a brilliant girl who loved to read books. She had many books in her room, with pictures and words and stories. She liked to read them every day, before bed and after breakfast and sometimes in the afternoon.
+
+One day, Lily's mom said, "Lily, we are going to visit grandma today. She is very old and sick and she needs some love. Can you bring her a book to read with her?"
+
+Lily nodded and ran to her room. She looked at all her books and tried to pick one. She wanted to bring grandma a book that was fun and happy and made her smile. She saw a book with a big red apple on the cover. She remembered that grandma liked apples and that the book had a funny story about a worm. She took the book and put it in her bag.
+
+She went to the car with her mom and they drove to grandma's house. Lily was excited to see grandma and to read the book with her. She hoped grandma would like the book and the worm.
+
+When they got to grandma's house, Lily ran to the door and knocked. Grandma opened the door and smiled. She looked very old and tired, but she was happy to see Lily and her mom.
+
+"Hello, my sweet Lily," grandma said. "Come in, come in. I have some cookies for you."
+
+Lily hugged grandma and said, "Hi, grandma. I brought you a book. It's very funny and it has a worm."
+
+Grandma looked at the book and said, "Oh, thank you, Lily. That's very kind of you. Let's go to the couch and read it together."
+
+They went to the couch and Lily opened the book. She showed grandma the pictures and read the words. Grandma laughed and said, "This is a very funny book, Lily. I like the worm. He is very clever and silly."
+
+Lily smiled and said, "I'm glad you like it, grandma. I like it too. Can we read it again?"
+
+Grandma nodded and said, "Of course, my dear. We can read it as many times as you want."
+
+They read the book again and again, until it was time to go. Lily hugged grandma and said, "Bye, grandma. I love you. I hope you feel better soon."
+
+Grandma hugged Lily and said, "Bye, Lily. I love you too. Thank you for the book. It made me very happy."
+
+Lily and her mom got in the car and drove away. Lily looked at the book and said, "Mom, can we leave the book with grandma? She liked it so much and it made her happy."
+
+Mom smiled and said, "Yes, Lily. We can leave the book with grandma. That's very nice of you. You are a brilliant girl, Lily. And a very good granddaughter."
+
+Lily smiled and said, "Thank you, mom. I love you."
+
+Mom said, "I love you too, Lily."
+
+They drove home and Lily went to her room. She looked at her other books and thought of grandma. She hoped grandma would read the book again and laugh. She shut her eyes and fell asleep, dreaming of apples and worms.
+Lily and Max were playing in the living room. They liked to pretend they were spies and look for hidden things. They saw a big fireplace with a screen in front of it. They wondered what was behind the screen.
+
+"Let's peek behind the screen," Max said. "Maybe there is a secret behind it."
+
+"No, Max, we can't do that," Lily said. "Mommy said the fireplace is hot and dangerous. She said we have to stay away from it. She said it can make fire and burn us."
+
+"But I want to see what's behind it," Max said. "Maybe there is a treasure or a map or a clue. Maybe we can prevent the bad guys from finding it."
+
+Max moved closer to the fireplace and tried to pull the screen away. Lily ran after him and grabbed his arm.
+
+"Stop, Max, stop!" Lily shouted. "You can't touch the fireplace. You will get hurt. Mommy will be mad at us. Please, Max, listen to me."
+
+Max struggled to get free from Lily's grip. He wanted to see what was behind the screen. He was curious and brave. He didn't care about the fire or the danger. He thought Lily was scared and silly.
+
+"Let me go, Lily, let me go!" Max yelled. "You are not the boss of me. You are not my spy partner. You are a chicken. I want to see the secret behind the screen."
+
+Lily and Max were fighting and pulling and shouting. They didn't hear the door open and Mommy come in. Mommy saw them near the fireplace and gasped. She ran to them and pulled them away from the screen.
+
+"What are you doing, Lily and Max?" Mommy asked. "Why are you near the fireplace? Don't you know how dangerous it is? You could have started a fire or burned yourselves. You could have hurt yourselves or the house. How could you be so careless and disobedient?"
+
+Lily and Max looked at Mommy with wide eyes. They felt scared and sorry. They knew they had done something wrong. They knew they had made Mommy angry and worried. They wished they had listened to Lily and stayed away from the fireplace. They wished they had not fought and shouted. They wished they had not tried to peek behind the screen.
+
+"We're sorry, Mommy," Lily and Max said. "We were playing spies and we wanted to see what was behind the screen. We thought there was a hidden secret. We didn't mean to be bad. We didn't mean to make you mad. Please, Mommy, don't be mad at us."
+
+Mommy hugged Lily and Max and kissed their heads. She was glad they were not hurt. She was glad she had come in time. She was glad they were sorry and learned their lesson.
+
+"I'm not mad at you, Lily and Max," Mommy said. "I'm just relieved and thankful. I love you very much and I want you to be safe and happy. But you have to promise me you will never go near the fireplace again. You have to promise me you will listen to me and to each other. You have to promise me you will be careful and respectful. Can you promise me that?"
+
+Lily and Max nodded and hugged Mommy back. They promised to be good and to stay away from the fireplace. They promised to listen and to be nice. They promised to be careful and respectful. They realized that the fireplace was not a secret or a treasure. It was a danger and a trouble. They realized that Lily and Max were not enemies or chickens. They were friends and spies. They realized that Mommy was not a boss or a mad. She was a protector and a love. They realized that they had learned a lot from their mistake. They realized that they had grown a little bit.
+Lily and Ben are hungry. They want to eat cheese and bread. Mom says they can have some, but they have to cut the cheese by themselves. She gives them a knife and a board.
+
+Lily is older than Ben. She knows how to cut cheese. She shows Ben how to hold the knife and the cheese. She says, "You have to be careful. The knife is sharp. It can hurt you. Cut the cheese like this. Make normal pieces. Not too big, not too small."
+
+Ben tries to cut the cheese. He is not very good at it. He makes some pieces too big and some pieces too small. He says, "This is hard. I don't like cutting cheese. Can you do it for me?"
+
+Lily says, "No, you have to learn. It is fun. Look, I made a triangle. And a square. And a circle. What can you make?"
+
+Ben looks at his cheese. He sees a big piece. He has an idea. He says, "I can make a moon. Watch me." He cuts the big piece in half. He says, "See? This is a moon. And this is another moon. I like moons. They are pretty."
+
+Lily smiles. She says, "You are right. You made moons. They are pretty. And they are normal too. Normal cheese moons. Good job, Ben. Now let's eat them with bread. Yum, yum."
+Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with cars and blocks. One day, they find a big box in the yard. They want to make a house with the box.
+
+"Let's cut the box and make a door and a window," Tom says.
+
+"OK, but how do we cut it?" Sam asks.
+
+Tom looks around and sees a pair of scissors. He picks them up and runs to the box. He starts to cut a part of the box.
+
+"Be careful, Tom! The scissors are sharp. You might hurt yourself," Sam says.
+
+"I know, I know. I'm careful," Tom says. He cuts a hole in the box. He makes a door. He cuts another hole. He makes a window.
+
+"Look, Sam! We have a house now. Let's go inside," Tom says.
+
+They go inside the box. They bring their cars and blocks. They play and have fun. The sun is shining. The box is light inside.
+
+"This is the best house ever," Tom says.
+
+"I agree. We are so smart," Sam says.
+
+They smile and hug. They are happy. They love their house. They love their friend.
+Lily and Ben were playing with their toy cars in the living room. They liked to make them zoom and crash on the carpet. But then, Lily's car broke. The wheel came off and rolled away.
+
+"Oh no, my car!" Lily cried. She picked up the car and tried to put the wheel back on. But it did not work. The car was still broken.
+
+Ben saw Lily's sad face and wanted to help. He had a tool box with some pretend tools. He took out a screwdriver and a hammer.
+
+"Let me fix your car, Lily," he said. He took the car and the wheel from Lily and pretended to screw and hammer them together.
+
+Lily watched Ben with her thumb in her mouth. She was anxious. She hoped Ben could fix her car. She loved her car very much.
+
+After a few minutes, Ben smiled and gave the car back to Lily.
+
+"Here you go, Lily. Your car is fixed. See? The wheel is on again."
+
+Lily took the car and looked at it. She was happy. The car looked like new. She hugged Ben and thanked him.
+
+"Thank you, Ben. You are a good friend. You are a good fixer."
+
+They both smiled and continued to play with their toy cars. They had fun and forgot about the broken wheel.
+Sam and Mia liked to decorate their room with stickers and drawings. They had many stickers of animals, cars, stars and flowers. They also had crayons and paper to make their own drawings. They put their stickers and drawings on the walls, the door, the closet and the bed.
+
+One night, they heard a loud noise. It was their alarm. It made a beep-beep-beep sound. Sam and Mia were scared. They did not know why the alarm was making noise. They ran to their mom and dad's room. Mom and dad were awake. They told Sam and Mia that the alarm was telling them that there was smoke in the house. They had to go outside quickly and safely.
+
+Mom and dad took Sam and Mia by the hand and went outside. They saw fire trucks and firefighters. The firefighters were wearing tough suits and helmets. They had hoses and ladders. They were trying to put out the fire in the kitchen. Sam and Mia watched from a safe distance. They hoped that their room and their stickers and drawings were not burned.
+
+After a while, the firefighters said that the fire was out. They said that the fire started because of a bad wire in the toaster. They said that the alarm saved Sam and Mia and their mom and dad. They said that the alarm was a good and smart thing to have in the house. They also said that Sam and Mia's room was not damaged by the fire. They said that their stickers and drawings were still there.
+
+Sam and Mia were happy and relieved. They thanked the firefighters for their help. They hugged their mom and dad. They went back to their room. They looked at their stickers and drawings. They felt proud of their decorations. They also felt thankful for their alarm. They said good night to each other and went to sleep.
+Ben liked to play with his toy cars. He had many cars of different colors and sizes. He liked to make them go fast on the floor and make noises like vroom and beep. He also liked to make ramps and bridges for his cars with his blocks and books.
+
+One day, he saw a wire on the wall. It was high and thin and shiny. He wondered what it was for. He wanted to touch it and see if it was soft or hard. He got a chair from the kitchen and put it under the wire. He climbed on the chair and reached for the wire.
+
+But the wire was not a toy. It was a part of the lamp that gave light to the room. When Ben touched the wire, he felt a shock. It hurt his hand and made him cry. He let go of the wire and fell off the chair. He bumped his head on the floor and cried louder.
+
+Mom heard Ben's cries and ran to the room. She saw Ben on the floor and the wire hanging from the wall. She was scared and angry. She picked up Ben and hugged him. She checked his hand and his head. She said, "Ben, you are very naughty. You should never touch wires. They are dangerous. They can hurt you and make fire. You are lucky you are not badly hurt. I will remove the wire and fix the lamp. But you have to promise me you will never do that again."
+
+Ben nodded and said, "I'm sorry, Mom. I didn't know. I just wanted to play. I won't touch wires again. I love you, Mom." Mom kissed Ben and said, "I love you too, Ben. But you have to be careful and listen to me. Wires are not for playing. They are for lights. Now, let's go and put some ice on your hand and your head. And then you can play with your cars again. But only on the floor, OK?" Ben said, "OK, Mom. Thank you, Mom." Mom smiled and said, "You're welcome, Ben. Now, let's go."
+Anna liked to help her mom in the kitchen. She liked to stir and pour and taste. But she did not like onions. They made her eyes water and her nose run. She did not want to eat them.
+
+One day, mom was making soup. She asked Anna to get an onion from the basket. Anna shook her head. She did not want to touch the onion. She made a sign with her hand. She crossed her fingers and put them on her nose. That meant "no onion, please".
+
+Mom smiled. She knew Anna did not like onions. But she said, "Onions are good for you. They make the soup yummy. And you can't even see them when they are chopped. Please, help me, Anna. It will be fun."
+
+Anna was not sure. She looked at the onion. It was big and round and brown. She looked at mom. She was kind and gentle and smiling. Anna decided to try. She took the onion and gave it to mom. Mom said, "Thank you, Anna. You are a good helper. Now, watch me. I will show you how to chop the onion."
+
+Mom took a knife and a board. She cut the onion in half. Then she cut it in small pieces. Anna watched. She saw the onion juice come out. She smelled the onion smell. She felt her eyes water and her nose run. She wanted to cry. But she did not. She was brave. She was quiet.
+
+Mom saw Anna's face. She said, "I'm sorry, Anna. I know it's hard. But you are doing great. Here, take this tissue. Wipe your eyes and your nose. And look, the onion is almost done. Soon, we will put it in the pot. And then, we will add the carrots and the potatoes and the chicken. And then, we will have a delicious soup. And you know what? You can have a big bowl. Because you helped me. And because I love you."
+
+Anna smiled. She took the tissue. She wiped her eyes and her nose. She felt better. She said, "I love you too, mom. And I will try the soup. Maybe I will like it. Maybe onions are not so bad. Maybe they are good for me. And maybe they make the soup yummy."
+Ben and Lily were playing on the farm. They liked to run and jump and see the animals. They saw cows and pigs and chickens and horses. They said hello to them and gave them some food.
+
+"Look, Ben, there is a new barn!" Lily said. She pointed to a big red building with a roof. "Can we go inside?"
+
+"OK, but be careful. It might have tools or nails or things that can hurt us," Ben said. He held Lily's hand and they walked to the new barn.
+
+They opened the door and saw a lot of hay and wood and boxes. They also saw a kitten sleeping on a pile of hay. It was white and fluffy and had blue eyes.
+
+"Aw, how cute!" Lily said. She went to the kitten and petted it gently. The kitten woke up and purred. It licked Lily's fingers and rubbed its head on her hand.
+
+"Can we keep it, Ben? Please, please, please?" Lily asked. She looked at Ben with big eyes.
+
+Ben smiled. He liked the kitten too. He looked around and saw a bowl of water and some cat food. Someone must have left them for the kitten.
+
+"Maybe we can, Lily. But we have to ask Mom and Dad first. And we have to give it a name. What do you want to call it?" Ben asked.
+
+Lily thought for a moment. She looked at the kitten and the new barn.
+
+"How about Barny? Because we found him in the new barn," Lily said.
+
+Ben nodded. He thought it was a good name.
+
+"Barny it is, then. Come on, let's take him to Mom and Dad and see what they say. Maybe they will let us keep him," Ben said.
+
+He picked up the kitten and held it close. Lily followed him. They left the new barn and went to find their parents.
+
+They hoped they would say yes. They loved Barny and wanted to be his friends. They wanted to play with him and feed him and rest with him. They thought he would be happy on the farm.
+Tim and Ben are friends. They like to play baseball in the park. Tim has a new baseball. It is shiny and red. Ben wants to play with it.
+
+"Can you lend me your baseball, Tim?" Ben asks.
+
+"OK, but be careful. It is my favorite," Tim says.
+
+Tim lends Ben his baseball. Ben is happy. He throws the baseball high in the air. He tries to catch it. But he misses. The baseball falls on the ground. It rolls away.
+
+"Oops! Where is the baseball?" Ben says.
+
+They look for the baseball. They cannot find it. It is gone. Someone took it.
+
+"Where is my baseball, Ben?" Tim says. He is angry and sad.
+
+"I don't know, Tim. I'm sorry. I lost it," Ben says.
+
+Tim does not want to be friends with Ben anymore. He does not trust him. He thinks Ben is not careful and not patient. He walks away. Ben is sorry and sad. He has no baseball and no friend. He cries. The end.
+Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play with their toys and joke with each other. One day, they find a furry hat in the closet. It is brown and soft and has two long ears.
+
+"Look, I am a bunny!" Tom says. He puts the hat on his head and hops around. Lily laughs and claps her hands. She thinks Tom is funny.
+
+"Can I try?" Lily asks. Tom nods and gives her the hat. Lily puts it on her head and wiggles her nose. She tries to hop like Tom, but she trips and falls. Tom helps her up and hugs her.
+
+"Are you okay?" Tom asks. Lily nods and smiles. She is not hurt, just a little silly.
+
+"Let's joke with Mommy!" Lily says. She has an idea. She points to the closet and whispers to Tom. Tom nods and grins. They hide in the closet with the hat.
+
+Mommy comes in the room. She looks for Tom and Lily. She does not see them. She hears a noise in the closet. She opens the door.
+
+"Boo!" Tom and Lily shout. They jump out of the closet with the hat. They pretend to be bunnies. Mommy is surprised and laughs. She thinks Tom and Lily are cute.
+
+"What a nice joke!" Mommy says. She hugs Tom and Lily and kisses their cheeks. She lets them keep the hat. They are happy. They love to joke with Mommy.
+Lily and Sam were friends who lived next to each other. They liked to play together in their yards, but there was a fence between them. The fence was tall and hard and had sharp points on top. Lily and Sam could not climb over the fence or go under it.
+
+One day, it was very cold outside. Lily and Sam put on their coats and hats and gloves and went out to play. They wanted to make a snowman, but they did not have enough snow in their own yards. They saw a big pile of snow on the other side of the fence. It looked soft and white and fun.
+
+"Let's make a snowman there!" Lily said to Sam.
+
+"But how can we get there?" Sam asked. "The fence is in the way."
+
+Lily thought for a moment. She saw a big stick on the ground. She picked it up and said, "I have an idea. We can use this stick to separate the fence. We can make a hole in it and go through."
+
+Sam nodded. He thought it was a good idea. He helped Lily push the stick against the fence. They pushed and pushed and pushed, until they made a small hole in the fence. They were very happy. They crawled through the hole and ran to the pile of snow. They started to make a snowman. They used a carrot for the nose, two rocks for the eyes, and a scarf for the neck.
+
+They were having so much fun, they did not hear the loud voice behind them.
+
+"Hey, you kids! What are you doing here? This is my yard! And you broke my fence!" It was Mr. Brown, the owner of the house. He was angry and scary. He came out of his door and walked towards them.
+
+Lily and Sam were scared. They dropped their snowman and ran back to the hole in the fence. They crawled through it and ran to their own yards. They did not look back. They did not want to see Mr. Brown again.
+
+They learned a lesson that day. They learned that they should not separate the fence or go to someone else's yard without asking. They also learned that they could still have fun in their own yards, even if there was a fence between them. They decided to make a smaller snowman in Lily's yard, and share it with Sam. They were still friends, and they were still happy.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play in their room. They have many toys and books and a big bed. Sometimes they pretend to be heroes and villains.
+
+One day, Anna puts on a cape and a mask. She says, "I am Super Anna. I save people from danger." Ben puts on a hat and a scarf. He says, "I am Bad Ben. I make trouble for everyone."
+
+Super Anna and Bad Ben run around the room. They jump on the bed and the sofa. They throw pillows and balls. They laugh and shout.
+
+But then, Bad Ben sees a big pillow on the floor. He picks it up and says, "I have a plan. I will hide this pillow under the bed. Then, when Super Anna comes near, I will push her and she will fall on the hard floor. Ha ha ha!"
+
+He sneaks to the bed and lifts the sheet. He tries to put the pillow under the bed. But he does not see that Super Anna is watching him. She is alert. She sees his plan.
+
+She runs to the bed and says, "Stop, Bad Ben! I see what you are doing. You are not nice. You are mean. You want to hurt me. But I will not let you. I will save myself and the pillow."
+
+She grabs the pillow from his hands and pushes him away. He falls on the soft pillow. She says, "Take that, Bad Ben! You lose. I win. I am Super Anna. I save the day."
+
+She puts the pillow back on the bed and smiles. Ben gets up and says, "Oh, no. You are too smart and strong, Super Anna. You are a good hero. I am sorry. I was a bad villain. Can we be friends again?"
+
+Anna says, "Yes, we can be friends again. But only if you promise to be nice and not make trouble. And if you share your toys and books with me."
+
+Ben says, "OK, I promise. I will be nice and share with you. And maybe next time we can play something else. Like pirates or astronauts or animals."
+
+Anna says, "That sounds fun. I like to play with you, Ben. You are my twin and my friend."
+
+They hug and say, "We love you, Super Anna. We love you, Bad Ben." They put away their capes and masks and hats and scarves. They pick up their pillows and balls. They cuddle on the bed and read a book. They are happy.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in Anna's room. Anna has a lamp that makes funny shapes on the wall. Ben likes the lamp too.
+
+One day, Anna's mom says they have to move to a new house. Anna is sad. She does not want to leave her room and her lamp. She tells Ben.
+
+"I will miss you and my lamp," Anna says.
+
+"I will miss you too," Ben says. "Can you take your lamp with you?"
+
+"No, mom says it is too big. She says we will have a new lamp in the new house. But I like this lamp. It is my friend."
+
+Anna and Ben hug. They say goodbye.
+
+Anna and her mom go to the new house. Anna does not like it. It is small and dark. There is no lamp in her room. Anna cries.
+
+"Mom, I want my lamp. I miss my lamp. And I miss Ben."
+
+"I'm sorry, Anna. We can't go back. We have to stay here. This is our new home."
+
+Anna is angry. She thinks her mom is rude. She does not understand why they have to move. She does not want a new home. She wants her old home and her old lamp and her old friend. She feels lonely.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They share a room with two beds. Every night, their mom reads them a story before they sleep. They like stories about animals and magic.
+
+One night, after their mom says good night and turns off the lamp, Anna hears a noise. She opens her eyes and sees a light in the hall. She wonders who is there. She nudges Ben and whispers, "Ben, do you see the light?"
+
+Ben rubs his eyes and looks at the hall. He sees the light too. He thinks it might be their dad, who sometimes works late. He whispers back, "Maybe it's dad. He comes home when we sleep."
+
+Anna and Ben get out of their beds and tiptoe to the hall. They want to say hello to their dad. But when they reach the hall, they see that the light is not from a lamp or a phone. It is from a fairy!
+
+The fairy is small and has wings. She is holding a wand that glows. She smiles at Anna and Ben and says, "Hello, children. I'm here to give you a gift. Do you like magic?"
+
+Anna and Ben are surprised and happy. They love magic. They nod and say, "Yes, we do. What is the gift?"
+
+The fairy says, "The gift is a dream. A special dream that you can share. You can go to any place you want, and see anything you want. All you have to do is close your eyes and hold hands."
+
+Anna and Ben think that sounds wonderful. They hold hands and close their eyes. The fairy waves her wand and sprinkles some dust on them. They feel a warm and cozy feeling. They start to sleep.
+
+The fairy smiles and says, "Sweet dreams, children. I'll see you in the morning." She flies away and the light fades. Anna and Ben sleep and dream. They dream of a beautiful garden with flowers and butterflies. They play and laugh and have fun. They are happy.
+Tim and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big red slide. They want to go on the slide.
+
+"Me first!" Tim shouts. He runs to the slide. He climbs up the ladder. He sits on the slide.
+
+"No, me first!" Mia shouts. She runs after Tim. She climbs up the ladder. She pushes Tim. Tim falls off the slide.
+
+"Ow!" Tim cries. He hurts his knee. He sees blood. He is scared. He wants his mom.
+
+"Mia, why did you do that?" Tim asks. He is sad and angry. He does not want to play with Mia.
+
+"I'm sorry, Tim. I wanted to go on the slide too. I did not mean to hurt you." Mia says. She is sorry and sad. She wants to be friends with Tim.
+
+"Let's go to the nurse. She can help you." Mia says. She holds Tim's hand. They walk to the nurse. The nurse is nice. She cleans Tim's knee. She puts a band-aid on it.
+
+"Thank you, nurse." Tim says. He feels better. He smiles.
+
+"You're welcome, Tim. Be careful on the slide." The nurse says. She smiles.
+
+"Can we still play, Tim?" Mia asks. She hopes Tim is not mad at her.
+
+"Okay, Mia. But no pushing. We can take turns on the slide." Tim says. He forgives Mia. He is still friends with Mia.
+
+They hug. They go back to the park. They play on the slide. They have fun. They are happy.
+Lily and Max were playing at the beach. They liked to make sand castles and dig holes. Lily had a pretty pink bucket and Max had a blue one. They filled their buckets with sand and poured them on the ground.
+
+"Look, I made a big tower!" Lily said, pointing to her sand castle.
+
+"I made a deep tunnel!" Max said, showing his hole.
+
+They were happy and proud of their work. But then they saw a big wave coming. It was very fast and loud. They ran away from the water, but it was too late. The wave crashed on the sand and washed away their sand castles and holes.
+
+"Oh no!" Lily cried. "Our sand castles and holes are gone!"
+
+Max was sad too. He looked at the wet sand and saw something shiny. He picked it up and saw that it was a shell. It was white and smooth and had a pretty pattern.
+
+"Look, Lily, I found a shell!" Max said, holding it up.
+
+Lily came closer and saw the shell. She smiled and took it from Max. She looked at it and saw that it had a hole in it.
+
+"Wow, it's a pretty shell!" Lily said. "And it has a hole, like your tunnel!"
+
+Max smiled too. He saw that the shell was a nice gift from the water. He hugged Lily and said, "Maybe the water wanted to change our sand castles and holes into something better!"
+
+Lily nodded and hugged Max back. She said, "Maybe you're right, Max. Maybe the water is our friend!"
+
+They put the shell in their bucket and went to look for more shells. They forgot about their sand castles and holes and had fun with their new treasure. They learned that sometimes change can be good.
+Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys in their room. But sometimes they make too much noise. Mom and Dad tell them to be quiet. They say they have to work and they need quiet.
+
+One day, Sara and Ben find a big box in the closet. They think it is a new toy. They open the box and see a lot of wires and buttons. They wonder what it is. They start to touch the wires and buttons. They hear a beep.
+
+"Look, Sara, it makes sounds!" Ben says.
+
+"Maybe it is a music box!" Sara says.
+
+They press more buttons and hear more beeps. They think it is fun. They do not know it is Mom's old alarm clock. They do not know it is easy to set the alarm.
+
+They keep playing with the box until they hear a loud ring. It is the alarm. It is very loud. It hurts their ears. They drop the box and cover their ears. They start to cry.
+
+Mom and Dad hear the ring and the cry. They run to the room. They see Sara and Ben and the box. They understand what happened. They turn off the alarm. They hug Sara and Ben. They tell them it is okay.
+
+"Sara, Ben, this is not a toy. This is an alarm clock. It makes noise to wake you up in the morning. You should not play with it. You could break it or hurt yourself." Mom says.
+
+"We are sorry, Mom. We did not know. We thought it was a toy. We wanted to have fun." Sara says.
+
+"We are sorry, Dad. We did not mean to make noise. We wanted to be quiet." Ben says.
+
+Mom and Dad smile. They are not angry. They know Sara and Ben are curious and did not know better. They tell them to be careful and ask before they play with something they do not know. They give them some books and puzzles to play with. They say they are easy and quiet.
+
+Sara and Ben say thank you. They put the box back in the closet. They play with the books and puzzles. They are easy and quiet. They are happy. Mom and Dad are happy too. They go back to work. They need quiet.
+Lily and Max were playing in the living room. They had a big box of crayons and many papers. They liked to draw animals and flowers and cars. Lily was drawing a cat with a pink crayon. She made it look very adorable, with big eyes and a fluffy tail. Max was drawing a fire truck with a red crayon. He made it look very loud, with a big horn and a shiny ladder.
+
+"Look at my cat!" Lily said, holding up her paper. "She is so cute and soft. Do you like her?"
+
+"I like your cat, but I like my truck more!" Max said, holding up his paper. "It is so fast and strong. Do you hear it?"
+
+Max made a noise with his mouth. He went "vroom, vroom, vroom!" and then "ring, ring, ring!" He pretended that his truck was driving and ringing its horn.
+
+Lily laughed. She liked Max's noise. She made a noise with her mouth too. She went "meow, meow, meow!" and then "purr, purr, purr!" She pretended that her cat was talking and purring.
+
+They both made noises and laughed. They had fun playing with their crayons and papers. They were happy and proud of their drawings. They showed them to their mom and dad, who smiled and hugged them. They said they loved their cat and truck, and they loved them too.
+Lila was a shy girl who did not like to talk to new people. She liked to play with her dolls and her books in her room. One day, her mom said they had to go to the store to buy some food. Lila did not want to go, but her mom said it would be fun.
+
+At the store, Lila held her mom's hand and looked at the different things. She saw some apples, some bread, some cheese, and some broccoli. She did not like broccoli. It was green and funny-looking. She made a face and said, "No, mom, no broccoli!"
+
+Her mom smiled and said, "Broccoli is good for you, Lila. It makes you strong and healthy. Why don't you try one piece and see if you like it?"
+
+Lila shook her head and hid behind her mom. She did not want to try broccoli. She saw a boy who was looking at them. He had a big smile and a red shirt. He grabbed a piece of broccoli and said, "Hi, I'm Max. I like broccoli. It's yummy and crunchy. Do you want to be my friend?"
+
+Lila felt scared and shy. She did not know Max. She did not want to talk to him. She did not want to eat broccoli. She clung to her mom and said, "No, thank you. I don't like broccoli. I don't want to be your friend."
+
+Max looked sad and put the broccoli back. He said, "Okay, bye. Maybe next time." He walked away with his mom.
+
+Lila's mom hugged her and said, "Lila, it's okay to be shy, but sometimes it's nice to make new friends. Maybe Max is a nice boy who likes the same things as you. Maybe you can give him a chance and try some broccoli. You might like it."
+
+Lila thought about it. She felt sorry for Max. He was just trying to be friendly. Maybe he was shy too. Maybe broccoli was not so bad. She looked at her mom and said, "Mom, can we buy some broccoli?"
+
+Her mom smiled and said, "Sure, Lila. Let's buy some broccoli. Maybe we can share it with Max next time we see him."
+
+Lila nodded and smiled. She grabbed a piece of broccoli and said, "Okay, mom. Let's go home and cook some broccoli. Maybe I will like it. Maybe I will make a new friend."
+Ben and Lily wanted to swim in the pool. They put on their swimsuits and ran outside. But when they got to the pool, they saw a big sign that said "Closed".
+
+"Closed? Why is the pool closed?" Ben asked.
+
+"Maybe they are cleaning it or fixing it," Lily said.
+
+"But I want to swim now!" Ben whined. He kicked the sign and pouted.
+
+Lily tried to cheer him up. "Hey, why don't we watch a movie instead? We can go inside and pick one from the shelf."
+
+Ben shook his head. "No, I don't want to watch a movie. Movies are boring. I want to swim!"
+
+Lily sighed. She knew Ben was stubborn. She had an idea. "What if we watch a movie about swimming? Maybe we can learn some new tricks or see some cool fish."
+
+Ben thought for a moment. He liked fish. He liked tricks. He nodded. "Okay, fine. Let's watch a movie about swimming. But only if it's not too difficult."
+
+Lily smiled. She took Ben's hand and led him inside. She hoped they could find a movie that was not too difficult, but also not too boring. She wanted Ben to be happy. And maybe, tomorrow, the pool would be open again.
+Lily likes to eat cereal for breakfast. She likes the crunchy ones with milk. But today, she sees something different on the table. It is a bowl of brown stuff. It looks smooth and shiny.
+
+"What is this?" Lily asks her mom.
+
+"It is chocolate, honey. I melted it for you. You can dip your cereal in it and make it yummy," her mom says.
+
+Lily is curious. She picks up a piece of cereal and dips it in the chocolate. It is warm and sweet. She likes it. She dips another piece and another. She smiles.
+
+"Thank you, mom. This is good," she says.
+
+"You're welcome, Lily. I'm glad you like it. But don't eat too much, or you will get a tummy ache," her mom says.
+
+Lily nods. She eats some more cereal and chocolate. She feels happy. She thinks chocolate is a good thing to melt.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, Lily brings a new book to Ben's house. The book has many pictures and words. Lily says, "Look, Ben, this is a book about language. Language is how we talk and write and read. There are many languages in the world. Some people say hello like this: hola. Some people say hello like this: bonjour. Some people say hello like this: ni hao. Can you say hello in different languages?"
+
+Ben tries to say hello in different languages. He says, "Hola, bonjour, ni hao." He thinks it is fun. He says, "Let's spread the language to other people. Let's go outside and say hello to everyone we see in different languages. Maybe they will say hello back to us."
+
+Lily and Ben go outside with the book. They see a lady walking a dog. They say, "Hola, lady, hola, dog." The lady smiles and says, "Hola, niños, hola, amigos." They see a man riding a bike. They say, "Bonjour, man, bonjour, bike." The man nods and says, "Bonjour, enfants, bonjour, vélo." They see a girl playing with a ball. They say, "Ni hao, girl, ni hao, ball." The girl looks at them and says, "Ni hao, shui ni?" She speaks a different language. Lily and Ben do not understand. They feel upset. They say, "Sorry, girl, sorry, ball. We do not know your language. What is your language?"
+
+The girl says, "My language is Arabic. I say hello like this: marhaba. Can you say marhaba?" Lily and Ben try to say marhaba. They say, "Marhaba, girl, marhaba, ball." The girl smiles and says, "Good, good, you are learning. Do you want to play with me and my ball?" Lily and Ben say, "Yes, yes, we want to play with you and your ball." They play together and have fun. They learn more words from each other. They are happy. They spread the language and make a new friend.
+Ben and Mia were playing with their blocks. They wanted to build a big tower, but it was hard. The blocks kept falling down and making a loud noise.
+
+"Let's support the tower with more blocks," Ben said. "Then it will not fall."
+
+"OK," Mia agreed. "I will get more blocks from the box."
+
+She went to the box and saw a gray cat. The cat was sleeping on the blocks. Mia tried to move the cat, but it woke up and hissed. It had fierce eyes and sharp claws.
+
+"Go away, cat!" Mia said. "We need the blocks!"
+
+The cat did not listen. It scratched Mia's hand and made her cry. Ben heard Mia and ran to help her.
+
+"Bad cat!" Ben shouted. "Leave Mia alone!"
+
+He picked up a pillow and threw it at the cat. The cat was scared and ran away. Ben hugged Mia and checked her hand.
+
+"Are you OK, Mia?" Ben asked.
+
+"It hurts," Mia said. "But I'm OK. Thank you, Ben."
+
+"You're welcome, Mia," Ben said. "You're my friend. I will always support you."
+
+They smiled and went back to their blocks. They built a big tower and were happy. The cat did not come back.
+Sara and Ben were twins who liked to help their mom cook. They had a modern kitchen with many buttons and lights. Mom showed them how to make soup with carrots, potatoes and chicken. She said they had to be careful with the hot pot and the sharp knife.
+
+"Can we stir the soup, mom?" Sara asked.
+
+"Yes, but only a little bit. And don't touch the stove, it's very hot," mom said.
+
+Ben and Sara took turns stirring the soup with a big spoon. They smelled the yummy soup and felt proud. They wanted to surprise dad when he came home from work.
+
+But then something bad happened. The water in the sink started to rise and spill over. It made a big mess on the floor. Mom ran to turn off the faucet, but it was too late. The water kept coming out.
+
+"Oh no, it's a flood!" mom said.
+
+Ben and Sara were scared. They didn't know what to do. They saw the water getting closer to the stove and the pot.
+
+"Mom, the soup!" Sara cried.
+
+Mom grabbed the pot and moved it to a safe place. She told Ben and Sara to stand on a chair and wait for her. She called dad and asked him to come home quickly. She also called a plumber to fix the sink.
+
+Dad came home and saw the flood. He was shocked and worried. He hugged mom and the twins and said it was okay. He helped mom clean up the water and the mess. The plumber came and fixed the sink. He said it was a broken pipe.
+
+Mom, dad and the twins were tired and hungry. They were glad they still had the soup. They sat down at the table and ate the soup. It was warm and delicious. They thanked mom for cooking and the twins for helping.
+
+"That was the best soup ever," dad said.
+
+"Even with the flood?" mom asked.
+
+"Especially with the flood," dad said.
+
+They all laughed and hugged. They were happy to be together. They learned that even when bad things happen, they can still have fun and love.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to look for bugs and flowers. They saw a big green cricket on a leaf. It was hopping and making noise.
+
+"Look, a cricket!" Lily said. "Can we catch it?"
+
+"OK, let's try," Tom said. They got a jar and a lid. They crept closer to the cricket.
+
+But the cricket saw them. It jumped away and hid under a rock. Lily and Tom could not find it.
+
+"Where did it go?" Lily asked.
+
+"Maybe it disappeared," Tom said.
+
+They looked around. They saw a butterfly, a bee, and a worm. But no cricket.
+
+Then they heard a loud croak. They turned and saw a frog. It was sitting on the rock. It had a big mouth and a long tongue.
+
+"Hello, frog," Lily said. "Did you see the cricket?"
+
+The frog burped. It smiled and winked.
+
+"Yes, I did," the frog said. "It was very tasty."
+Jill and Tom wanted to bake a cake for their mom. They found a big bowl, some eggs, some flour, some sugar, and some butter in the kitchen. They mixed everything together and poured it into a pan. Then they put the pan in the oven and turned it on.
+
+"Mom will be so happy when she sees our cake!" Jill said.
+
+"Yes, she will!" Tom said. "But we have to wait for the cake to bake. Let's go outside and play."
+
+Jill and Tom ran outside and saw a big tree. They climbed up the tree and looked around. They saw a distant hill, a blue sky, and a fluffy cloud. They also saw a big owl sitting on a branch.
+
+"Look, an owl!" Jill said. "It is so pretty!"
+
+"Let's say hello to it!" Tom said. He waved his hand and shouted, "Hello, owl!"
+
+The owl turned its head and looked at Tom. It did not look happy. It opened its mouth and made a loud noise. "Hoo! Hoo!"
+
+Jill and Tom were scared. They tried to climb down the tree, but the owl flew towards them. It stretched out its claws and grabbed Tom by his shirt. It lifted him up and flew away.
+
+"Tom! Tom!" Jill screamed. She cried and cried. She did not know what to do.
+
+Mom came home and saw Jill crying in the tree. She ran to her and hugged her. She asked her what happened. Jill told her about the cake and the owl and Tom.
+
+Mom was very sad and very angry. She called the police and the animal control. She hoped they could find Tom and the owl. She hoped Tom was not hurt.
+
+But they never found Tom or the owl. The owl took Tom to its nest and ate him. The cake burned in the oven and made a big mess. Mom and Jill were left alone and unhappy. They wished they never tried to bake a cake. They wished they never saw the owl. They wished they could have Tom back.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to pretend they were brave knights and princesses. They wore clothes made of old sheets and cardboard. They had a big stick for a sword and a pot for a helmet.
+
+They saw a big dog on the other side of the fence. It was barking and growling. Lily and Ben were scared. They wanted to run away. But then they remembered they were brave.
+
+Lily held up her stick and said, "Go away, dog! We are not afraid of you! We are brave knights and princesses!"
+
+The dog stopped barking and looked at them. It tilted its head and wagged its tail. It seemed friendly.
+
+Ben said, "Maybe the dog is not mean. Maybe it just wants to play."
+
+He put down his pot and said, "Hello, dog! What is your name?"
+
+The dog replied with a woof. It jumped over the fence and ran to them. It licked their faces and wagged its tail. It wanted to play.
+
+Lily and Ben laughed and hugged the dog. They were not scared anymore. They were brave and kind. They made a new friend.
+Tom and Mia love to play with their toys. They have many toys, but their favorite is the jet. The jet is enormous and shiny. It can fly very fast and make loud noises. Tom and Mia like to pretend they are pilots and go on adventures.
+
+One day, Tom and Mia are playing with the jet in the backyard. They take turns flying the jet and making it zoom and swoop. They have a lot of fun. But then, Tom wants to fly the jet longer. He does not want to share with Mia. He says, "It is my turn. You had it before. Give me the jet!"
+
+Mia does not like that. She says, "No, it is my turn. You had it too long. I want the jet!" They both pull on the jet and try to take it from each other. They start to yell and cry. They are very angry and sad.
+
+Mom hears the noise and comes to see what is wrong. She sees Tom and Mia fighting over the jet. She says, "Stop! What are you doing? Why are you fighting? You should share and play nicely. The jet is for both of you. If you cannot share, you cannot play with it."
+
+Tom and Mia feel ashamed. They know Mom is right. They say, "Sorry, Mom. Sorry, Tom. Sorry, Mia." They hug and say, "We are sorry. We love you. We love the jet. Can we share and play together?"
+
+Mom smiles and says, "Yes, you can. I am glad you are sorry. I love you too. You are good children. Now, go and have fun with the jet. But remember to take turns and be kind."

+Lila and Ben were playing in the woods. They liked to run and jump and hide behind the trees. They saw a big hole in the ground. It was a cave.
+
+"Let's go inside!" Ben said. He was brave and curious.
+
+"No, it's dark and scary!" Lila said. She was afraid and careful.
+
+"Come on, it will be fun!" Ben said. He grabbed Lila's hand and pulled her towards the cave.
+
+They went inside the cave. It was cold and wet and dark. They could not see anything. They heard a loud roar. It was a bear. The bear was angry and hungry.
+
+"Run!" Lila screamed. She let go of Ben's hand and ran back to the cave entrance.
+
+"Help!" Ben cried. He was stuck and scared. The bear was coming closer and closer.
+
+Lila saw a big stick on the ground. She picked it up and threw it at the bear. The stick hit the bear on the nose. The bear was hurt and surprised. It stopped and growled.
+
+Lila ran back to Ben. She grabbed his hand and pulled him out of the cave. They ran as fast as they could to their home.
+
+They were safe and happy. They hugged each other and thanked each other.
+
+"Sorry, I was silly," Ben said. He was sorry and grateful.
+
+"It's okay, I was brave," Lila said. She was proud and kind.
+
+They learned a lesson. They never went back to the cave. They played in the woods, but they stayed away from the big hole. They liked to run and jump and hide behind the trees. They were good friends.
+Sam and Ben were brothers who liked to play outside. They had a big yard with a lot of grass and a swing. One day, it rained a lot and the grass was very wet. Sam wanted to go out and swing, but Ben did not.
+
+"Come on, Ben, let's go swing!" Sam said.
+
+"No, Sam, the grass is wet. We will get dirty and cold," Ben said.
+
+"I don't care, I want to swing. You are a baby, Ben," Sam said. He ran outside and jumped on the swing.
+
+Ben watched from the window. He felt sad and angry. He wished Sam would play with him inside. He saw Sam swing higher and higher. He saw Sam laugh and shout.
+
+Sam was having fun. He did not listen to Ben. He did not see the big hole in the grass. He did not see the sharp rock in the hole. He swung too high and flew off the swing. He landed in the hole with the rock. He felt a lot of pain. He screamed and cried.
+
+Ben heard Sam scream and cry. He ran outside to help him. He saw Sam in the hole with the rock. He saw blood on Sam's leg. He was scared and sorry. He called for Mom and Dad.
+
+Mom and Dad came outside. They saw Sam in the hole with the rock. They saw blood on Sam's leg. They were shocked and worried. They picked up Sam and took him to the car. They drove to the hospital.
+
+Sam had to get stitches on his leg. He had to stay in the hospital for a long time. He could not play outside or swing for a long time. He was bored and sad. He wished he had listened to Ben. He wished he had not demanded to swing. He learned a hard lesson.
+Ben and Mia are twins. They like to play with toys and books. But sometimes they fight over things. One day, they see a new magazine on the table. It has many pictures of animals and cars.
+
+"Wow, look at this!" Ben says. He picks up the magazine and opens it. He sees a big lion and a fast car. He wants to look at them more.
+
+"Let me see, let me see!" Mia says. She tries to grab the magazine from Ben. But Ben holds it tight. He does not want to share.
+
+"No, it's mine!" Ben says. He pulls the magazine away from Mia. He is strong.
+
+"That's not fair!" Mia says. She gets angry. She demands the magazine from Ben. She pushes him hard. He falls on the floor. The magazine flies out of his hand.
+
+"Ow, that hurts!" Ben says. He cries. He is sad and mad.
+
+Mia picks up the magazine. She smiles. She thinks she wins. But then she hears a loud voice.
+
+"What are you doing?" Mom says. She comes into the room. She sees Ben on the floor and Mia with the magazine. She is not happy.
+
+"You two need to learn to share and be nice to each other," Mom says. She takes the magazine from Mia. She gives it back to Ben. She hugs him and helps him up.
+
+"Sorry, Ben," Mia says. She feels sorry. She does not like to make Ben cry.
+
+"Sorry, Mia," Ben says. He feels sorry. He does not like to fight with Mia.

+Ben and Mia were at the park with their mom. They saw a big slide that looked like fun. They ran to the slide and waited for their turn.
+
+"Can I go first?" Ben asked Mia.
+
+"Okay, but be careful. The slide is very high," Mia said.
+
+Ben climbed the steps and entered the slide. He slid down fast and felt the wind in his hair. He was happy until he reached the bottom. There was a big puddle of mud and trash. Ben landed in the puddle and got dirty and wet. He felt something slimy on his arm. He looked and saw a worm.
+
+"Yuck! This is disgusting!" Ben shouted. He tried to get up but slipped and fell again.
+
+Mia saw what happened and laughed. She thought it was funny. She entered the slide and slid down too. She hoped to avoid the puddle, but she was too fast. She splashed into the mud and trash with Ben. She felt something sticky on her face. She looked and saw a banana peel.
+
+"Ew! This is disgusting!" Mia screamed. She tried to get up but slipped and fell again.
+
+Mom heard their screams and ran to the slide. She saw Ben and Mia covered in mud and trash. She was not happy. She grabbed them and took them to the bathroom. She cleaned them up and gave them a hug.
+
+"Next time, look before you slide," Mom said. "And don't laugh at your brother or sister when they are in trouble."
+
+Ben and Mia nodded. They said sorry to each other and to Mom. They learned their lesson. They decided to play on the swings instead. They hoped they would not find any more disgusting things.

+
+"It is a bug that makes noise. Listen!" Tom said. He put the cricket near his ear. The cricket chirped loudly.
+
+Sam wanted to hear it too. He reached for the cricket. But Tom did not want to share. He pulled the cricket away.
+
+"No, it is mine!" Tom said. He ran to the other side of the truck.
+
+Sam was angry. He ran after Tom. He wanted the cricket. They both forgot about the other things they had taken.
+
+They did not see the man who came to the truck. The man was the driver. He had gone to get some coffee. He came back and saw the mess on his truck.
+
+"Hey, what are you doing?" the man shouted. He saw Sam and Tom fighting over the cricket. He was very angry.
+
+He grabbed the cricket from Tom's hand. He threw it away. He told Sam and Tom to get off his truck. He scolded them for being foolish and naughty. He told them to go back to their house. He said he would tell their parents.
+
+Sam and Tom were scared. They jumped off the truck. They ran to their house. They did not say sorry to the man. They did not say sorry to each other. They did not have any fun. They only had trouble.

+
+Benny walked outside to play with his friends. They played hide and seek and tag. Benny was having so much fun that he didn't realize he had to go potty. He was so embarrassed when he had an accident in front of his friends.

+
+Lily realized that sometimes, our imagination can help us overcome our fears. And so, she continued to explore the big, beautiful world she had imagined.

+Lily and Ben were twins. They liked to play outside. One day, they went to the park with Mom and Dad. They brought a big basket with food and drinks. They had a picnic on the grass.
+
+"Look, Lily, a big tree!" Ben said. He ran to the tree and climbed up. Lily followed him. They found a branch that was split in two. They sat on each side of the branch.
+
+"Can you hear the birds?" Lily asked. She listened to the chirping and singing.
+
+"No, I can't," Ben said. He shook his head. He was deaf. He could not hear anything. But he could see the birds. He pointed to them.
+
+"I can see them. They are pretty. They have different colors and shapes."
+
+Lily nodded. She smiled. She loved her brother. She wanted to share the picnic with him. She climbed down the tree and got two sandwiches from the basket. She climbed up again and gave one to Ben.
+
+"Here, Ben, a sandwich for you. It has cheese and ham. Do you like it?"
+
+Ben nodded. He took a bite. He liked it. He thanked Lily with his hands. He used sign language. Lily knew sign language too. They talked with their hands.
+
+They ate their sandwiches and enjoyed the view. They were happy. They had a nice picnic.
+Tom and Lily were playing with their toy cars in the living room. They liked to pretend they were driving on the road and going to different places. Tom had a blue car and Lily had a pink car.
+
+"Vroom, vroom, I'm going to the park!" Tom said, making his car zoom across the carpet.
+
+"Me too, me too!" Lily said, following him with her car.
+
+But when they got to the park, they saw that there was only one swing left. They both wanted to play on the swing.
+
+"Let me go first, it's my turn!" Tom said, reaching for the swing.
+
+"No, it's my turn, I was here first!" Lily said, pushing him away.
+
+They started to argue and tug on the swing. They were very loud and rude.
+
+"Hey, hey, stop that!" their mom said, coming into the living room. "What are you doing?"
+
+"Mom, Tom won't let me play on the swing!" Lily said, pointing at her brother.
+
+"Mom, Lily won't let me play on the swing!" Tom said, pointing at his sister.
+
+Their mom looked at them and shook her head. She reminded them of the rules.
+
+"You know you have to share and take turns, right?" she said. "And you have to be nice and polite, not rude and mean. Do you want to lose your license to play with your cars?"
+
+Tom and Lily gasped. They loved their cars and they didn't want to lose them.
+
+"No, mom, we don't want to lose our license!" they said.
+
+"Then you have to behave and play nicely, okay?" their mom said. "How about you take turns on the swing, and then you can go to another place with your cars?"
+
+Tom and Lily nodded. They said sorry to each other and hugged. They decided to take turns on the swing, and then they went to the zoo with their cars. They had fun and they were not rude anymore.
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play together. One day, they wanted to bake a cake for their mom. They asked their dad to help them. He said yes and took them to the kitchen.
+
+They put flour, sugar, eggs, butter, and milk in a big bowl. They mixed them with a spoon. Then they poured the batter into a round pan. Dad put the pan in the oven. He said they had to wait for 20 minutes.
+
+While they waited, Tom and Lily decided to play with their football. They went to the backyard and kicked the ball to each other. They had fun running and laughing. They also saw some colorful flowers and butterflies. They picked some flowers for their mom.
+
+The timer rang. Dad called them to the kitchen. They ran inside and saw the cake. It was golden and smelled good. Dad took it out of the oven and let it cool. Then he gave them some frosting and sprinkles. They decorated the cake with them. They made it look colorful and yummy.
+
+They put the cake on a plate and added the flowers. They carried it to the living room, where mom was reading a book. They said, "Surprise! We baked a cake for you, mom!" Mom smiled and hugged them. She said, "Thank you, my sweeties! You are the best! Let's have some cake together!" They cut the cake and shared it. They all enjoyed the cake and each other's company. They had a happy day.
+Tim and Sam are best friends. They like to play outside in the snow. They make snowmen and snowballs and have fun. But they also need to wear warm clothes, like hats and gloves and boots.
+
+One day, Tim forgets his gloves at home. He does not tell Sam, because he does not want to go back. He thinks he can play without gloves. But soon, his hands are very cold and hurt. He tries to hide them in his pockets, but it does not help.
+
+"Tim, are you okay?" Sam asks. He sees that Tim is not smiling and looks sad.
+
+"No, Sam, I am not okay. My hands are very cold and hurt. I forgot my gloves at home," Tim says.
+
+"Oh, Tim, that is not good. You need gloves to play in the snow. Here, you can have one of mine," Sam says. He takes off one of his gloves and gives it to Tim.
+
+"Thank you, Sam, you are very kind. But what about your hand?" Tim asks.
+
+"It is okay, I can share. We are best friends, right?" Sam says.
+
+"Yes, we are best friends," Tim says. He puts on Sam's glove and feels better. They hug and smile.
+
+They play some more, but then they see a man walking by. He is bald and has no hat. He looks very cold and shivers.
+
+"Look, Sam, that man has no hat. He is bald and cold. Maybe he needs a glove too," Tim says.
+
+"Maybe you are right, Tim. Maybe we can help him," Sam says.
+
+They run to the man and say hello. They tell him their names and that they are best friends. They ask him if he is cold and if he needs a glove.
+
+The man is surprised and touched by their kindness. He smiles and thanks them. He says his name is Bob and that he is looking for his hat. He says he lost it in the wind and he is very cold.
+
+"We have an extra glove, Bob. You can have it. It will keep your head warm," Tim says.
+
+"Really? You would give me your glove?" Bob asks.
+
+"Yes, we would. We like to share. We are best friends, right, Sam?" Tim says.
+
+"Right, Tim. We are best friends. And we want you to be warm too, Bob," Sam says.
+
+They give Bob their glove and help him put it on his head. It is a bit big, but it covers his bald spot. He feels warmer and happier.
+
+"Thank you, Tim and Sam. You are very generous and sweet. You are the best friends I ever met," Bob says.
+
+They hug and laugh. They decide to play together for a while. They make a bigger snowman and give him a glove too. They have fun and forget about the cold. They are happy and warm in their hearts.
+Anna and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. Anna had a doll that looked like a princess, and Ben had a toy car that looked like a horse. They pretended that the doll and the car were going to a castle to meet a prince.
+
+"Hello, princess," Ben said, making his car neigh. "Do you want to come with me to the castle?"
+
+"Yes, please," Anna said, making her doll smile. "I want to see the prince. He is very kind and handsome."
+
+They moved their toys across the carpet, making noises and stories. They had a lot of fun.
+
+But then, their baby brother, Sam, crawled into the living room. He saw the doll and the car, and he wanted to play with them too. He reached out his chubby hands and grabbed the doll by the hair.
+
+"Hey, that's mine!" Anna shouted, trying to pull the doll back. "Give it back, Sam!"
+
+Sam did not listen. He pulled harder, and the doll's head came off. He threw the head on the floor, and it broke into pieces. The doll was very fragile.
+
+Anna gasped and started to cry. She loved her doll very much. She was very sad and angry.
+
+"Sam, you are very bad!" Ben yelled, running to his sister. "You broke Anna's doll! You need to say sorry!"
+
+Sam did not say sorry. He just giggled and crawled away, looking for something else to play with.
+
+Anna and Ben hugged each other and looked at the broken doll. They wished they could fix it, but they did not know how. They wished they could still play with the prince, but they did not have a princess anymore.
+
+They decided to shut the door and keep Sam out. They did not want to play with him anymore. They wanted to play with each other, and with their other toys. They hoped that their mom would buy them a new doll, or maybe a real prince.
+Lila and Ben are friends who live next to each other. They like to play outside in the snow. One day, they decide to make a big snowman together. They roll snowballs and stack them on top of each other. They find a carrot, a hat, and a scarf to decorate their snowman.
+
+"Look, our snowman is done!" Lila says. "He is very big and nice."
+
+"Yes, he is. But he needs a name. What should we call him?" Ben asks.
+
+Lila thinks for a moment. She looks at the snowman's flexible arms made of sticks. She has an idea.
+
+"How about Flexy? He can bend his arms and wave at us," she says.
+
+Ben likes the name. He nods and smiles.
+
+"Flexy, it is. Hello, Flexy!" he says.
+
+They both wave at their snowman. Flexy seems to wave back with his stick arms. Lila and Ben laugh and hug each other. They are happy to have a new friend. They unite in their joy.
+Lily and Ben were playing with their dolls in the garden. They liked to make up stories and talk in different languages. They used sounds and gestures that they learned from their books and movies.
+
+"Bonjour, je m'appelle Marie. Et toi?" Lily said, holding a doll with a red dress.
+
+"Hola, me llamo Pedro. Mucho gusto." Ben said, holding a doll with a blue shirt.
+
+They smiled and pretended to have a tea party. They poured water from a plastic cup and offered cookies to their dolls.
+
+But then, a big dog came running into the garden. It was black and brown and had a long tongue. It saw the dolls and thought they were toys. It barked and jumped on them.
+
+"Hey, stop it! That's mine!" Ben shouted, trying to pull his doll away from the dog.
+
+But the dog was stronger and faster. It tore the doll's shirt and bit its arm. It made a loud noise and ran away with the doll in its mouth.
+
+Ben started to cry. He was sad and angry. His doll was ruined. He looked at Lily and said, "That dog is bad and filthy. It doesn't understand our language. It doesn't know how to play nice."
+
+Lily felt sorry for Ben. She hugged him and said, "I'm sorry, Ben. That dog is mean and dirty. It doesn't speak our language. It doesn't know how to share."
+
+She gave him her doll and said, "Here, you can have mine. It's still pretty and whole. We can still play together."
+
+Ben smiled and said, "Thank you, Lily. You are kind and sweet. You speak my language. You are my best friend."
+
+They hugged and continued to play. They forgot about the dog and the torn doll. They made up new stories and new languages. They were happy.
+Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play games. Today, they play a game with a large stage. The stage is in the park. It has a big curtain and a microphone.
+
+Tom says, "I will ask you questions. You will answer on the stage. You will be a star!"
+
+Anna says, "OK, I like questions. What will you ask me?"
+
+Tom thinks hard. He wants to ask good questions. He says, "I will ask you about animals. Do you like animals?"
+
+Anna says, "Yes, I like animals. They are cute and fun."
+
+Tom says, "OK, come to the stage. I will ask you the first question. Are you ready?"
+
+Anna says, "Yes, I am ready. I am not scared."
+
+Anna goes to the stage. She sees many people in the park. They look at her. She feels shy. But she remembers that Tom is her friend. He will help her.
+
+Tom says, "Hello, everyone. This is my friend Anna. She will answer my questions. The first question is: what is the name of the animal that has a long neck and spots?"
+
+Anna thinks. She knows the answer. She says, "The animal is a giraffe. I like giraffes. They are tall and pretty."
+
+Tom says, "That is right. You are very smart. The next question is: what is the name of the animal that has a big trunk and ears?"
+
+Anna thinks again. She knows the answer. She says, "The animal is an elephant. I like elephants. They are strong and friendly."
+
+Tom says, "That is right. You are very smart. The last question is: what is the name of the animal that has a shell and lives in the water?"
+
+Anna thinks harder. She is not sure. She says, "The animal is a... a... a turtle?"
+
+Tom says, "That is right. You are very smart. You answered all my questions. You are a star!"
+
+The people in the park clap and cheer. Anna feels happy. She smiles and waves. Tom joins her on the stage. He hugs her and says, "You did great. You are my best friend."
+
+Anna says, "Thank you. You are my best friend too. You asked good questions. Can we play again?"
+
+Tom says, "Yes, we can play again. We can play anything we want. We have fun together."
+
+They hold hands and walk off the stage. They are happy. They are friends.
+Tom and Sue were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big bottle on the grass. It had a skull and bones on it.
+
+"What is this?" Tom asked.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe it is juice," Sue said.
+
+She opened the bottle and smelled it. It smelled bad.
+
+"Yuck! This is not juice. This is poison," Sue said.
+
+"Poison? What is poison?" Tom asked.
+
+"Poison is something that makes you sick or dead. You should not drink it," Sue said.
+
+She threw the bottle away.
+
+But Tom was curious. He picked up the bottle and looked at it.
+
+"Maybe it is not poison. Maybe it is candy," Tom said.
+
+He put the bottle to his mouth and drank some.
+
+"Tom, no! Don't drink it!" Sue shouted.
+
+But it was too late. Tom felt a pain in his tummy. He fell to the ground and did not move.
+
+Sue ran to him and cried.
+
+"Tom, Tom, wake up! Please, wake up!" Sue said.
+
+But Tom did not wake up. He was dead.
+
+Sue was very sad. She wished she had been more intelligent. She wished she had stopped Tom from drinking the poison. She wished they had never found the bottle. She wished they had played somewhere else.
+Ben and Amy liked to play on the ranch. They had many animals to see and feed. They liked the horses, the cows, the sheep and the chickens. But they did not like the big red dog. The big red dog was mean and loud. He always barked at them and chased them.
+
+One day, Ben and Amy were playing near the barn. They saw the big red dog sleeping on a pile of hay. They wanted to sneak past him and go to the horse pen. But the big red dog woke up and saw them. He jumped up and ran after them. He growled and snapped his teeth.
+
+"Help! Help!" Ben and Amy cried. They ran as fast as they could. They looked for a place to hide. They saw a fence with a gate. They ran to the gate and opened it. They went inside and closed it. They were safe.
+
+The big red dog could not get in. He barked and scratched at the gate. He was angry and frustrated. He wanted to catch Ben and Amy.
+
+"Quit it! Quit it!" Ben and Amy shouted at the big red dog. "You are bad! You are not nice! Go away!"
+
+The big red dog did not quit. He kept barking and scratching. He made a lot of noise.
+
+The noise woke up the rancher. The rancher was Ben and Amy's grandpa. He came out of the house and saw the big red dog. He was not happy.
+
+"Hey! What are you doing here?" the rancher yelled at the big red dog. "You are not my dog! You are a stray! You are scaring my grandkids! Get off my ranch!"
+
+The rancher picked up a stick and waved it at the big red dog. The big red dog was scared of the rancher. He turned around and ran away. He did not come back.
+
+The rancher opened the gate and hugged Ben and Amy. He was glad they were okay.
+
+"Are you hurt?" the rancher asked them.
+
+"No, we are fine," Ben and Amy said.
+
+"Good. I'm sorry about the big red dog. He must have wandered in from the road. He won't bother you again. Come on, let's go see the horses. They are much nicer than the big red dog."
+
+Ben and Amy smiled and followed the rancher. They liked the horses. They liked the ranch. They liked their grandpa. They did not like the big red dog.
+Lily loved her bear very much. She got him when she was a baby and he was always with her. He was soft and brown and had a red bow. He made her feel safe and happy.
+
+One day, Lily went to the park with her mom and dad. She brought her bear with her and played on the swings and the slide. She had a lot of fun. But when it was time to go home, she forgot her bear on the bench. She did not remember until she was in the car.
+
+Lily was very sad and cried. She wanted her bear back. Her mom and dad tried to calm her down and said they would go back to the park and look for him. But Lily was afraid that someone else would take her bear or that he would be lost.
+
+When they got to the park, they saw a boy holding Lily's bear. He was pale and had blond hair. He looked happy with the bear. Lily ran to him and said, "That's my bear! Give him back!"
+
+The boy looked surprised and said, "No, this is my bear. I found him on the bench. He was alone and cold. He likes me."
+
+Lily was angry and said, "No, he's mine! He has a red bow and his name is Brownie. He's my best friend. You can't have him!"
+
+The boy was stubborn and said, "No, he's mine! He has a blue eye and his name is Snowy. He's my new friend. You can't have him!"
+
+Lily and the boy started to pull the bear from each other. The bear was scared and sad. He did not like to be fought over. He wanted to be with Lily, who loved him very much. He wished she would remember him.
+
+Lily's mom and dad saw what was happening and came to help. They talked to the boy and his mom, who was nearby. They explained that the bear belonged to Lily and that she had left him by mistake. They asked the boy to give him back.
+
+The boy was reluctant and said, "But I like him. He's nice and warm. Can't I keep him?"
+
+Lily's mom and dad said, "No, you can't. He's not yours. He's Lily's. She loves him very much and she misses him. How would you feel if someone took your favorite toy?"
+
+The boy thought for a moment and said, "I would feel sad and angry. I have a truck that I love very much. I wouldn't want anyone to take it."
+
+Lily's mom and dad said, "That's how Lily feels about her bear. He's her truck. He's very special to her. You have to give him back."
+
+The boy looked at the bear and then at Lily. He saw that she was crying and that she looked pale and sad. He felt sorry for her and said, "OK, I'll give him back. I'm sorry. I didn't know he was yours."
+
+He handed the bear to Lily and said, "Here you go. I hope you're happy with him. He's a nice bear."
+
+Lily smiled and hugged the bear. She said, "Thank you. I'm very happy with him. He's a nice bear too. And you're a nice boy. I'm sorry I yelled at you."
+
+The boy smiled and said, "You're welcome. I'm sorry I took him. You're a nice girl. Do you want to play with me?"
+
+Lily nodded and said, "Yes, I do. Do you want to play with my bear?"
+
+The boy nodded and said, "Yes, I do. Can I call him Snowy?"
+
+Lily said, "OK, you can call him Snowy. But his real name is Brownie. And he's my bear. Don't forget that."
+
+The boy said, "OK, I won't forget that. And he's your bear. Don't forget that."
+
+Lily and the boy played together with the bear. They became friends and shared their toys. The bear was happy and felt loved. He hoped they would always remember him.
+Anna and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big log near the pond. They run to the log and climb on it.
+
+"Look, I am a king!" Ben says. He puts a stick on his head like a crown. He stands on the log and bows to Anna.
+
+"Hello, king Ben!" Anna says. She claps her hands. She wants to be a queen. She finds a flower and puts it in her hair. She stands on the log and bows to Ben.
+
+"Hello, queen Anna!" Ben says. He claps his hands too. They are happy.
+
+But the log is not steady. It wobbles and rolls. Anna and Ben lose their balance. They fall off the log and splash into the pond.
+
+"Oh no!" they say. They are wet and muddy. They are also dizzy. They feel sick.
+
+They get out of the pond and sit on the grass. They look at each other and laugh.
+
+"That was fun!" Anna says.
+
+"Yes, it was!" Ben says.
+
+They hug each other and go back to their mom and dad. They tell them about their adventure. Mom and dad smile and hug them too. They are proud of their king and queen.
+Lily liked to play with her crystal. It was shiny and pretty and made rainbows on the wall. She kept it in a special box in her room. One day, she wanted to show it to her friend Max, who came over to play.
+
+"Look, Max, this is my crystal. Do you like it?" she asked, taking it out of the box.
+
+"Wow, it's so sparkly! Can I hold it?" Max said, reaching for it.
+
+"Okay, but be careful. It's very fragile," Lily said, handing it to him.
+
+Max took the crystal and looked at it closely. He saw the colors and shapes inside. He felt the smooth and cold surface. He wanted to see what would happen if he threw it in the air.
+
+"Watch this, Lily!" he said, and tossed the crystal up.
+
+Lily gasped. She knew that was a bad idea. She tried to catch the crystal, but it was too high. She watched in horror as it fell to the floor and broke into pieces.
+
+"Max, what did you do?" she yelled, tears in her eyes. "You broke my crystal! It was my favorite thing!"
+
+Max looked at the broken crystal and felt sorry. He didn't mean to break it. He thought it would be fun.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily. I didn't know it would break. I was just playing," he said, trying to hug her.
+
+Lily pushed him away. She was very angry and sad. She ran to her mom and told her what happened.
+
+Mom came to the room and saw the mess. She was not happy either. She scolded Max for being careless and naughty. She told him to apologize to Lily and help her clean up. She also told Lily to calm down and forgive Max. She said they were both friends and should share and be kind.
+
+Lily and Max said they were sorry to each other. They picked up the pieces of the crystal and put them in a bag. They hugged and said they were still friends. Mom gave them a cookie and a juice. She said they were obedient and good. She said she would try to find a new crystal for Lily. She said she loved them both.
+Anna and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big post with a sign on it. The sign has many words and pictures. Anna and Ben want to read the sign.
+
+"Look, Ben, what does the sign say?" Anna asks.
+
+"I don't know, Anna, the words are too hard. But the pictures are nice. They show animals and plants and people." Ben says.
+
+Anna and Ben lean on the post and look at the pictures. They see a lion, a flower, a car and a baby. They point and name the things they know.
+
+"Wow, this sign is impressive. It has so many things on it." Anna says.
+
+"Yes, it is impressive. But I wish we could read the words. Maybe they tell us something interesting." Ben says.
+
+Just then, a lady walks by. She sees Anna and Ben leaning on the post and looking at the sign. She smiles and stops.
+
+"Hello, children. Do you like the sign?" She asks.
+
+"Yes, we do. But we can't read the words. Can you help us?" Anna says.
+
+"Sure, I can help you. The sign is about the park. It tells us the name of the park, the history of the park, and the rules of the park. Do you want me to read some of it to you?" She says.
+
+"Yes, please. Thank you, lady." Ben says.
+
+The lady reads some of the words on the sign to Anna and Ben. They listen and learn. They thank the lady and wave goodbye. They are happy. They learned something new from the impressive sign.
+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play with Tom's microscope. A microscope is a thing that makes small things look big. Tom and Mia want to see bugs with the microscope.
+
+They go to the garden and look for bugs. They see a red bug with black spots. It is a ladybug. Tom says, "Let's catch the ladybug and look at it with the microscope." Mia says, "OK, but be gentle. We don't want to hurt the ladybug."
+
+Tom and Mia use a jar to catch the ladybug. They put the jar on the table and take the lid off. They see the ladybug crawling on the glass. Tom says, "Look, it has six legs and two wings. And it has tiny hairs on its body." Mia says, "Wow, it is so pretty. Can I hold it?"
+
+Tom says, "Sure, but be careful. Don't squeeze it or drop it." He picks up the ladybug and puts it on Mia's hand. Mia feels the ladybug tickle her palm. She smiles and says, "Hello, little ladybug. You are so cute. Do you have a name?"
+
+The ladybug does not answer. It flaps its wings and flies away. Tom and Mia watch it fly to a flower. They say, "Bye, ladybug. Thank you for letting us see you." They are happy. They are ready to find another bug to look at with the microscope. They love to learn new things.
+Sara and Ben were playing at the beach. They liked to make castles with sand and shells. They also liked to splash in the water and look for fish.
+
+"Look, Sara, I found a big shell!" Ben said, holding up a shiny pink shell. "It has a hole in it. Maybe we can make a necklace with it."
+
+"Wow, Ben, that's a pretty shell!" Sara said. "But it's dirty. We need to wash it first."
+
+They ran to the water and dipped the shell in it. They rubbed it with their hands until it was clean and shiny. Then they ran back to their sand castle.
+
+"Let's put the shell on top of the castle," Sara said. "It will be like a crown."
+
+"OK, Sara, that's a good idea," Ben said. He climbed on the castle and placed the shell on the highest point. He smiled and said, "There, now our castle is the best!"
+
+But as he was getting down, he slipped and fell. He landed on the sand and got it all over his face and mouth. He spat and coughed and said, "Blech, sand is not delicious!"
+
+Sara laughed and said, "No, Ben, sand is not delicious. You need to wash your mouth now."
+
+She helped him up and took him to the water. She gave him a sip of water and said, "Is that better, Ben?"
+
+Ben nodded and said, "Yes, Sara, that's better. Thank you. But I still like the shell better than the sand."
+
+They hugged and went back to their castle. They played until the sun went down and their mom came to pick them up. They took the shell with them and said goodbye to the sand. They had a fun day at the beach.
+Sam and Lily were playing in the backyard. They found a big box of tools that belonged to their dad. They wanted to make something with the tools.
+
+"Look, I have a hammer!" Sam said. He picked up a heavy hammer and swung it in the air.
+
+"Be careful, Sam!" Lily said. "You might hurt yourself or me!"
+
+"I know how to use a hammer," Sam said. "I can make a house for us. We need some wood and nails."
+
+Sam and Lily looked around for some wood and nails. They saw a pile of wood near the fence. They ran to the pile and grabbed some pieces.
+
+"Here, I will supply you with nails," Lily said. She found a small box of nails and opened it. She gave some nails to Sam.
+
+"Thank you, Lily," Sam said. He took a nail and put it on a piece of wood. He lifted his hammer and hit the nail hard.
+
+BANG!
+
+The loud noise frightened Sam and Lily. They dropped their tools and wood and screamed.
+
+"What are you doing?" their dad asked. He came out of the house and saw them. He was not happy.
+
+"We were making a house, dad," Sam said.
+
+"With my tools?" their dad asked. "You know you are not allowed to touch my tools. They are dangerous for you. You could have hurt yourself or Lily or the fence."
+
+"We are sorry, dad," Lily said. "We didn't mean to be bad. We just wanted to have fun."
+
+Their dad sighed. He picked up the tools and the wood and put them back in the box. He carried the box to the garage.
+
+"Next time, if you want to make something, ask me first," he said. "I can help you or give you some safe tools. And don't be frightened. I'm not angry with you. I just want you to be safe and careful."

+Sam and Lily nodded. They hugged their dad and said they loved him. They decided to play something else in the backyard. Something that didn't need a hammer.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play in their room. They have many toys and books. But today they are bored. They want to do something new.
+
+"Let's crawl under the bed," Anna says. "Maybe we can find something fun."
+
+"OK," Ben says. "But it is dark under the bed. I am scared of the dark."
+
+Anna grabs a flashlight. She turns it on. It makes a light. She gives it to Ben. "Here, you can hold this. It will help you see."
+
+They put on their sweaters. They are warm and soft. They crawl under the bed. They see dust and socks and a ball. They also see a box. It is big and brown.
+
+"What is in the box?" Anna asks.
+
+"I don't know," Ben says. "Let's open it."
+
+They open the box. They see pictures and letters and a teddy bear. They are happy. They found something fun.
+
+"Look, this is Mommy and Daddy when they were little," Anna says. She shows Ben a picture.
+
+"And this is a teddy bear like mine," Ben says. He hugs the teddy bear.
+
+They play with the box. They forget they are under the bed. They are not bored anymore. They are having fun.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big bush with red berries. They are hungry and want to try them.
+
+"Can we eat these berries?" Lily asks Ben.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe they are good. Maybe they are bad." Ben says.
+
+They look at the berries. They are shiny and round. They smell sweet.
+
+Lily decides to pick one berry. She puts it in her mouth. She bites it. It is juicy and sour. She makes a face.
+
+"Yuck! This berry is not good. It is too sour." Lily says. She spits out the berry.
+
+Ben decides to pick another berry. He puts it in his mouth. He bites it. It is soft and sweet. He smiles.
+
+"Yum! This berry is good. It is sweet and tasty." Ben says. He swallows the berry.
+
+Lily and Ben look at each other. They are confused. Why are the berries different?
+
+They look at the bush again. They see that some berries are small and dark. Some berries are big and light.
+
+"Oh, I see. These berries are not the same. These are thick berries. These are thin berries." Lily says.
+
+She points at the small and dark berries. "These are thick berries. They are sour. I don't like them."
+
+She points at the big and light berries. "These are thin berries. They are sweet. I like them."
+
+Ben nods. He agrees with Lily. He likes the thin berries too.
+
+They decide to pick more thin berries. They eat them and share them. They are happy and full. They thank the bush for the berries.
+
+They leave the park and go home. They tell their moms and dads about the berries. They say they learned a new word: thick.
+Lily and Max were twins who liked to play outside. They liked different seasons. Lily liked summer, when the sun was hot and the flowers were bright. Max liked winter, when the snow was cold and the trees were bare.
+
+One day, they decided to make a snowman together. They rolled big balls of snow and stacked them on top of each other. They found a carrot for the nose, two rocks for the eyes, and a scarf for the neck. They were very proud of their snowman.
+
+But then, Lily saw something that made her scream. A bird had landed on the snowman's head and was pecking at the carrot. Lily loved animals, but she did not want the bird to ruin their snowman. She ran towards the bird and shouted, "Go away, bird! Leave our snowman alone!"
+
+Max heard Lily scream and ran after her. He saw the bird fly away, but he also saw something else. The snowman's head had fallen off and broken into pieces. Max was very sad. He liked their snowman, and he did not want it to be destroyed. He cried, "Look what you did, Lily! You made our snowman fall apart!"
+
+Lily felt sorry for Max. She did not mean to make their snowman fall apart. She knew the snowman was delicate and could not last forever. She hugged Max and said, "I'm sorry, Max. I didn't mean to make you cry. Let's make another snowman, okay?"
+
+Max looked at Lily and nodded. He wiped his tears and smiled. He said, "Okay, Lily. Let's make another snowman. But this time, let's put a hat on it, so the bird won't take the carrot."
+
+Lily and Max agreed. They worked together to make another snowman, bigger and better than before. They put a hat on it, and also a coat and gloves. They were very happy with their snowman. They decided to name it Bob. They played with Bob until it was time to go inside. They said goodbye to Bob and promised to come back tomorrow. They hoped Bob would still be there, waiting for them.
+Tom and Lily wanted to bake a cake for Mom's birthday. They found a recipe in a book and looked for the things they needed. They saw eggs, flour, sugar, butter, and milk in the fridge and on the counter. They also saw a battery on the table.
+
+"What is this?" Lily asked, picking up the battery.
+
+"That is a battery. It makes things work, like the clock or the toy car," Tom explained.
+
+"Can we use it to bake the cake?" Lily wondered.
+
+"No, we can't. The battery is not for baking. It is not food. It is not normal to put a battery in a cake. It could be bad for us," Tom said.
+
+"Oh, okay. Then let's put it back on the table and use the other things," Lily agreed.
+
+They mixed the eggs, flour, sugar, butter, and milk in a big bowl. They poured the batter into a pan and put it in the oven. They waited for the cake to bake. They smelled something sweet and yummy.
+
+"Look, the cake is ready!" Tom exclaimed.
+
+They took the cake out of the oven and let it cool. They decorated it with frosting and sprinkles. They wrote "Happy Birthday Mom" on top. They were very proud of their cake.
+
+They put the cake on a plate and carried it to the living room. They saw Mom sitting on the couch, reading a book.
+
+"Surprise! We baked you a cake!" they shouted.
+
+Mom smiled and hugged them. She thanked them for their lovely gift. She cut a slice of cake for each of them and one for herself. They ate the cake and enjoyed it. It was delicious.
+
+They did not notice the battery on the table. It was still there, not for baking, not for eating, not normal. But it did not matter. They were happy.
+Lily and Tom are playing in the park. They see a big structure with slides and swings. They run to it and climb on it.
+
+"Let's play hide and seek!" Lily says. "I will count and you hide."
+
+"OK!" Tom says. He jumps off the structure and looks for a place to hide. He sees a thin tree behind a bench. He runs to it and stands behind it. He thinks Lily will not find him there.
+
+Lily counts to ten and then opens her eyes. She looks around the park and tries to find Tom. She sees the structure, the bench, the flowers, the birds, but not Tom. She walks around and calls his name.
+
+"Tom, where are you? I can't see you!"
+
+Tom hears Lily and giggles. He thinks he is very good at hiding. He stays behind the tree and does not answer.
+
+Lily gets closer to the bench and the tree. She hears a giggle and smiles. She knows where Tom is. She sneaks behind the bench and then jumps out.
+
+"Boo! I found you, Tom!" she says.
+
+Tom screams and laughs. He comes out from behind the tree and hugs Lily.
+
+"You are very good at finding, Lily!" he says.
+
+They both laugh and run back to the structure. They play hide and seek again and have fun.
+Lily and Ben are playing in the park. They have a big bottle of soap and a wand to make bubbles. They blow and blow and see the bubbles fly in the air. They are shiny and round and pretty.
+
+"Look, Lily, I can make a big bubble!" Ben says. He blows hard and a big bubble comes out of the wand. It floats over the grass and the flowers.
+
+Lily notices a dog near the big bubble. The dog is dirty and has mud on its fur. It sees the big bubble and wants to catch it. It runs and jumps and pops the bubble with its nose.
+
+"Oh no, the dog popped your bubble!" Lily says. She is sad for Ben.
+
+Ben is sad too, but he is also kind. He sees the dog wagging its tail and looking at him. He thinks the dog is lonely and wants to play.
+
+"It's okay, Lily, I can make more bubbles. Maybe the dog likes bubbles too. Let's share with the dog." Ben says. He blows another bubble and tosses it to the dog. The dog chases the bubble and pops it again. It barks happily.
+
+Lily smiles and joins Ben. They blow more bubbles and play with the dog. The dog is dirty, but it is also friendly and fun. They have a good time together.
+
+The moral of the story is: Be kind and share with others, even if they are different from you. You can make new friends and have fun.
+Sara liked to read books. She had many books with pictures and words. She read them every day. She learned new things from the books.
+
+One day, Sara found a book she had never seen before. It was big and green. It had a picture of a snake on the cover. Sara was curious. She opened the book and started to read.
+
+The book was about snakes. It had many facts and stories about snakes. Sara read how snakes could move, eat, and hide. She read how some snakes were friendly and some were mean. She read how some snakes had venom and some did not.
+
+Sara was so interested in the book that she did not hear her mom call her for lunch. She did not see the snake that crawled into her room. The snake was hungry and angry. It saw Sara sitting on the bed with the book. It thought Sara was a threat.
+
+The snake slithered quietly towards Sara. It coiled around her legs and squeezed. Sara felt a pain in her legs. She looked down and saw the snake. She screamed and dropped the book.
+
+"Mommy, help! Snake!" Sara cried.
+
+But it was too late. The snake bit Sara on the neck. Sara felt a coldness in her body. She could not breathe. She could not move. She closed her eyes and fell asleep. She never woke up.

+
+Ben sees a small car with a blue door. He likes the car very much. He looks at the price. It is five coins. He has five coins in his piggy bank. He thinks he can buy the car with his own money.
+
+Sara and Ben go to Mom. Sara asks Mom for five more coins. Mom says no. She says the doll is too expensive and too big. She says it will not fit in their room. She says Sara can choose another toy.
+
+Ben shows Mom the car. Mom says yes. She says the car is a good price and a good size. She says it will fit in their toy box. She says Ben can buy the car with his own money.

+
+Ben is still happy. He wants to play with Sara. He goes to her room and knocks on the door. He says he is sorry that Sara is sad. He says he has a surprise for her.
+
+He gives her the car. He says he wants to share the car with her. He says they can play together. He says he loves Sara more than the car.
+

+
+"Look, a hoop!" Anna says. "Let's play with it!"
+
+"OK!" Ben says. "What can we do with it?"
+
+They take turns rolling the hoop on the grass. They try to catch it and jump through it. They have fun.
+
+Then, Anna has an idea. She puts the hoop on her head. She pretends to be a robot.
+
+"Beep boop, I am a hoop robot!" she says in a funny voice. "I will take over the park!"
+
+Ben laughs. He thinks Anna is joking. He plays along.
+
+"Oh no, a hoop robot!" he says. "Please don't hurt me!"
+
+He runs away from Anna. Anna chases him. They giggle.
+
+They run past a man. He is busy. He is reading a book on a bench. He does not see them.
+
+Anna and Ben bump into him. The hoop falls off Anna's head. The book falls out of the man's hand.
+
+"Oops, sorry!" Anna and Ben say.
+
+The man is not happy. He is angry. He picks up his book and his glasses.
+
+"Hey, watch where you are going!" he says. "You almost broke my glasses!"
+
+He scowls at them.
+
+Anna and Ben feel bad. They did not mean to make the man angry. They did not know he was there.
+
+They say sorry again. They pick up the hoop. They walk away.
+
+They decide to play somewhere else. They do not want to bother the man.

+Sam throws his bicycle over the branch. It hangs in the air. Ben does the same. They laugh and clap.
+
+But then, they hear a loud snap. The branch breaks. The bicycles fall to the ground. They make a big noise. Sam and Ben are scared.

+"Me too, Ben. I am sorry. It was a bad idea. Let's go home and rest."
+
+They get on their bicycles. They ride slowly. They are friends. They learn from their mistake.
+Sara and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to collect leaves of different colors and shapes. They put them in a big basket and pretended they were treasure.
+
+"Look, Sara, I found a red leaf! It is so pretty!" Ben said, holding up his leaf.
+
+"Wow, Ben, that is a nice leaf! I found a yellow one, see?" Sara said, showing her leaf.
+
+They were having fun, until they saw a big dog running towards them. The dog was barking loudly and looked angry. Sara and Ben were scared. They dropped their basket and ran away.
+
+"Help, help! The dog is going to spoil our leaves!" Sara cried.
+
+"Run, run! The dog is going to bite us!" Ben shouted.
+
+They ran to a bench where their mom was sitting. She saw them and hugged them.
+
+"Don't worry, Sara and Ben, the dog is not going to hurt you. He is just playing. He is a friendly dog," mom said.
+
+"But mom, he spoiled our leaves! He took them out of the basket and tore them apart!" Sara said, pointing to the mess.
+
+"I'm sorry, Sara, your leaves are spoiled. But you can find new ones, right? There are many leaves in the park," mom said.
+
+"Yes, mom, we can find new ones. But we were brave, right? We ran away from the dog," Ben said.
+
+"Yes, Ben, you were brave. You and Sara are very brave. I'm proud of you," mom said.
+

+Lily and Ben are playing in the garden. They have a big ball and a small net. They want to catch flies with the net and put them in a jar.
+
+"Look, there is a fly!" Lily says. She runs after the fly with the net. But the fly is too fast and flies away.
+
+"Try again, Lily!" Ben says. He holds the jar and waits for Lily to catch a fly.
+
+Lily sees another fly. She swings the net and catches the fly. She is happy and runs to Ben.
+
+"Good job, Lily!" Ben says. He opens the jar and Lily puts the fly inside. They close the jar and look at the fly.

+The fly is not happy. It buzzes and tries to get out of the jar. It does not like the jar. It wants to fly in the garden.
+
+"Let me out! Let me out!" the fly complains. It bangs on the jar with its wings.
+
+Lily and Ben hear the fly. They feel sorry for the fly.
+
+"Maybe the fly is sad," Lily says. "Maybe it misses its friends."
+
+"Maybe the fly is hungry," Ben says. "Maybe it wants some food."
+
+They look at the jar and see that it is not clean. It has dirt and dust on it.
+
+"Maybe the fly is dirty," Lily says. "Maybe it wants to be clean."
+
+They decide to help the fly. They open the jar and let the fly out. The fly is happy and flies away.
+
+"Bye, fly!" Lily and Ben say. They wave to the fly.
+
+The fly waves back with its wings. It thanks Lily and Ben for being kind.
+

+Lily and Ben smile and go back to playing with the ball and the net. They are happy too.
+Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to slide on the big slide. They took turns to go down. Ben went first, then Lily, then Ben again.
+
+But when Lily wanted to go again, Ben did not let her. He said, "No, it is my turn. You go away." He pushed Lily hard. Lily fell on the grass. She hurt her knee. She saw a red patch on her pants. She started to cry.
+
+Lily's mom heard her cry. She ran to her. She saw the red patch and the push. She was angry. She said to Ben, "Why did you push Lily? That was not nice. You have to say sorry."
+
+But Ben did not say sorry. He said, "No, I don't. It is my slide. She can't play with me." He pushed Lily again. Lily cried louder.
+
+Lily's mom picked her up. She said, "Come on, Lily. We are going home. You need a band-aid and a hug. Ben is not a good friend. He is mean."
+
+Ben was confused. He did not understand why Lily and her mom left. He wanted to play more. But he was alone. No one wanted to play with him. He felt sad. He wished he had said sorry. But it was too late. He had no friends. He had no fun. He had a bad day.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the sand. They had a bucket and a spade each. They wanted to make a big castle with towers and flags.
+
+"Look at my castle, Lily. It is very big and strong," Ben said. He was proud of his work.
+
+Lily looked at Ben's castle. It was bigger than hers. She felt angry. She wanted to have the biggest castle. She took her spade and hit Ben's castle. She broke one of the towers.
+
+"Hey, why did you do that?" Ben shouted. He was sad and angry. He loved his castle.
+
+"It is not fair. Your castle is bigger than mine. I want to have the biggest castle," Lily said. She did not care about Ben's feelings.
+
+Ben felt hurt. He did not like Lily's words. He took his spade and slapped Lily's face. He made her cry.
+
+"Ow, that hurts. You are mean, Ben. You are not my friend," Lily cried. She ran away from Ben.
+
+Ben felt sorry. He did not mean to hurt Lily. He wanted to be her friend. He ran after Lily.
+
+"I am sorry, Lily. I should not have slapped you. You should not have broken my castle. Can we be friends again?" Ben said.
+
+Lily stopped crying. She looked at Ben. She saw that he was sorry. She felt sorry too. She nodded.
+
+"I am sorry, Ben. I should not have broken your castle. It was very nice. Can we make a new castle together?" Lily said.
+
+Ben smiled. He nodded. He gave Lily a hug.
+

+
+Lily smiled. She hugged Ben back.
+
+"OK, let's do that. And we can be friends again. Friends who play fair," Lily said.

+
+One day, her brother Tom came into her room. He saw Anna playing tea and laughed. He said, "That is a silly game. Tea is for babies. You are a baby." He grabbed the tea set and threw it on the floor. The cups and the pot broke into pieces. Anna was very sad and angry. She said, "No, you are a meanie. Give me back my tea set. You broke it. You are bad."
+
+Tom did not listen. He ran out of the room with the cloth. He said, "I will use this as a cape. I am a superhero. You are a crybaby." He left Anna alone with her broken tea set and her dolls. Anna cried and cried. She felt embarrassed and hurt. She wished Tom would say sorry and fix her tea set. But he did not. He played with his cape and forgot about Anna. Anna had no one to play tea with. She had a bad day.

+Lily liked to sort things. She had a big box of thread in many colors. She wanted to make a picture with the thread. She took out the thread and put them in piles by color. Red, blue, yellow, green, and so on.
+
+She asked her mom, "Can I use your big board to make my picture?"
+
+Mom said, "Yes, but be careful. The board has pins on it. They are sharp and can hurt you. Do you know what pins are?"
+
+Lily nodded. She had seen mom use pins to hold fabric together. She said, "I know, mom. I will be slow and careful. Thank you for the board."

+
+She was almost done. She only had one color left. Purple. She looked for the purple thread in her box. She could not find it. She searched and searched. She dumped the box on the floor. No purple thread.
+
+She was sad. She wanted to finish her picture. She wondered where the purple thread was. She remembered. She had used it to make a bracelet for her doll. She had left it in the living room.
+
+She ran to the living room. She saw her doll on the couch. She saw the bracelet on her wrist. She saw the purple thread. She was happy. She grabbed the thread. She did not see the scissors on the table. She did not see the cat on the floor.

+She hugged Lily. She said, "I'm sorry, Lily. The cat was naughty. He broke your thread. Don't cry. We can fix it. We can find more purple thread. We can finish your picture. It will be beautiful."
+
+Lily sniffed. She said, "Really, mom? You have more purple thread?"
+
+Mom nodded. She said, "Yes, Lily. I have more purple thread. Come on, let's go to my sewing room. I'll show you."
+
+Lily smiled. She said, "Okay, mom. Thank you. I love you."

+She walks back to her seat. She sees her mom and dad. They hug her and say, "We are so proud of you, Mia. You did a great job. You are a brave and talented girl."
+
+Mia smiles. She is not embarrassed anymore. She is proud of herself. She loves to play violin.
+Sam likes to zip his coat when he goes outside. He thinks it is fun to pull the zipper up and down. One day, he sees a big cobweb on the wall of his house. He wonders what it is and who made it.
+
+He gets closer to the cobweb and sees a small spider. The spider is black and shiny. It has eight legs and two eyes. Sam is not afraid of the spider. He says hello to it and asks if it likes to zip too.
+
+The spider does not answer. It is busy making its web. It uses its silk to make thin lines and shapes. The web is sticky and strong. The spider hopes to catch some flies and bugs for its lunch.
+
+Sam watches the spider for a while. He thinks the web is pretty and clever. He wishes he could make something like that. He tries to zip his coat again, but it is stuck. He pulls and pulls, but it does not move. He feels sad and frustrated.
+
+He calls his mom for help. She comes and sees the cobweb and the spider. She also sees Sam's coat. She smiles and hugs him. She tells him that the spider is a regular spider, and that it makes webs to live and eat. She also tells him that his coat is a regular coat, and that sometimes zippers get stuck. She helps him to unzip his coat and fix the zipper. She tells him that he can zip and unzip his coat again, but he should be careful and gentle.
+
+Sam feels happy and relieved. He thanks his mom and says goodbye to the spider. He zips his coat again and runs to play. He likes to zip, but he also likes to see new things and learn about them. He wonders what else he will find outside.
+Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. Lily liked to be organized. She had a box for her dolls, a box for her cars, and a box for her blocks. Ben liked to be messy. He threw his toys everywhere and mixed them up.
+
+"Ben, stop it!" Lily said. "You are making a big mess. Put your toys in the right boxes."
+
+"No, I don't want to," Ben said. "It's more fun this way. Look, I can make a tower with your blocks and your dolls."
+
+Lily was angry. She tried to grab her blocks and her dolls from Ben, but he pulled them back. They both pulled hard, and one of the blocks flew out of their hands. It hit Lily's finger and made a cut.
+
+"Ow!" Lily cried. "You hurt me, Ben. You are a bad brother."
+
+She ran to her mom, who was in the kitchen. She showed her the cut on her finger. Mom took a look and said, "Oh, poor Lily. Let me get a band-aid for you. It's not a big cut, but it might sting a little."
+
+She put a band-aid on Lily's finger and gave her a hug. "There, there. It's okay. Do you remember what we talked about yesterday? About sharing and being nice to each other?"
+
+Lily nodded. She remembered. Mom had said that sharing and being nice were good things to do, because they made people happy and friends. She also said that fighting and being mean were bad things to do, because they made people sad and lonely.
+
+"I'm sorry, Mom," Lily said. "I was not nice to Ben. I didn't want to share my toys."
+
+Mom smiled. "That's okay, Lily. I'm glad you are sorry. Why don't you go and say sorry to Ben, too? Maybe you can play together and find a way to have fun without making a mess or hurting each other."
+
+Lily agreed. She went back to the living room, where Ben was still playing with his toys. She saw that he had made a tower with his blocks and his dolls, and he had put a car on top.
+
+"Ben, I'm sorry," Lily said. "I didn't mean to hurt you. Can I play with you?"
+
+Ben looked at her and saw the band-aid on her finger. He felt sorry, too. He said, "I'm sorry, too, Lily. I didn't mean to hurt you, either. Can I see your band-aid?"
+
+Lily showed him her band-aid. It had a picture of a flower on it. Ben said, "That's a pretty band-aid. Do you want to see my car?"
+
+He showed her his car. It had a picture of a star on it. Lily said, "That's a cool car. Do you want to play with my dolls?"
+
+They decided to play with each other's toys and share them. They had fun and they were nice to each other. They were happy and friends. Mom was happy, too. She was proud of them. She said, "Good job, Lily and Ben. You are being organized and kind."
+Lila and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big hill with many trees and flowers. They wanted to climb the hill and see what was on the other side.
+
+"Let's go, Lila!" Ben said. "Maybe we can find a treasure or a fairy or a dragon!"
+
+"OK, Ben!" Lila said. "But we have to be careful and not get lost!"
+
+They held hands and started to climb the hill. They saw many birds and bugs and animals. They heard many sounds and smells. They felt happy and curious.
+
+They reached the top of the hill and looked around. They saw a big valley with many houses and cars and people. They saw a big sign that said "Welcome to the City". They saw many lights and colors and shapes.
+
+"Wow, Ben!" Lila said. "Look at all the things in the valley! They are so pretty and shiny and different!"
+
+"Yes, Lila!" Ben said. "They are very nice! The valley is displaying many things for us to see!"
+
+They sat on the hill and watched the valley for a long time. They saw the sun go down and the stars come out. They saw the valley change from day to night.
+
+They felt tired and sleepy. They decided to go back to the park. They climbed down the hill and walked to the slide. They saw their mom and dad waiting for them.
+
+"Hi, Lila and Ben!" Mom said. "Did you have fun in the park?"
+
+"Yes, Mom!" Lila and Ben said. "We climbed a hill and saw a valley! The valley was displaying many things for us to see!"
+
+"Wow, that sounds amazing!" Dad said. "You are very brave and adventurous! But now it's time to go home and rest. The park is empty and dark."
+
+"OK, Dad!" Lila and Ben said. "But can we come back tomorrow and see the valley again?"
+
+"Maybe, Lila and Ben!" Mom said. "But now let's go home and have a story and a hug and a kiss!"
+
+They got in the car and drove away. They waved goodbye to the park and the hill and the valley. They felt happy and sleepy. They dreamed of the valley and the things they saw.
+Ben is a chubby boy who likes to eat. He likes to eat cake, cookies, cheese and bread. He does not like to eat fruits, vegetables or fish. His mom and dad tell him to eat healthy, but he does not listen.
+
+One morning, Ben wakes up to a loud noise. It is his alarm. He does not like his alarm. It makes him get up and go to school. He wants to stay in bed and sleep. He turns off his alarm and covers his head with his pillow.
+
+But his mom comes to his room and opens the curtains. She says, "Ben, it's time to get up. You have to go to school. And you have to eat your breakfast." She puts a plate on his table. It has an apple, a carrot and a boiled egg. Ben does not like his breakfast. He stares at it and makes a face.
+
+His mom says, "Ben, don't stare at your food. It's good for you. It will make you strong and smart. You have to eat it or you will be hungry and tired." She leaves his room and goes to the kitchen.
+
+Ben looks at his breakfast and thinks. He does not want to eat it, but he does not want to be hungry and tired either. He decides to eat it, but very slowly. He takes a small bite of the apple, then a small bite of the carrot, then a small bite of the egg. He does not like the taste, but he tries to be brave. He thinks, maybe if he eats healthy, he will not be so chubby. And maybe he will like school more. He finishes his breakfast and goes to brush his teeth. He hopes his mom will be proud of him.
+Lily and Sam 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," Lily says. "We can draw or read or make a fort."
+
+Sam nods. He likes to play with Lily. They go to Lily's room. Lily has many toys and books. She also has a big pink chair. It is soft and fluffy.
+
+"Can I seat on your chair?" Sam asks. He likes the color pink.
+
+"Sure, you can seat on my chair," Lily says. "It is my favorite chair. My grandma gave it to me."
+
+Sam seats on the chair. He feels cozy and warm. He smiles. Lily seats next to him. She picks up a book. It is a book about animals. She likes animals.
+
+"Look, this is a lion," Lily says. She points to a picture. "It is big and strong and has a mane."
+
+"Wow, a lion," Sam says. He likes lions. He makes a roar sound. "Roar!"
+
+Lily laughs. She makes a roar sound too. "Roar!"
+
+They have fun reading and roaring. They forget about the rain. They are happy.
+Sara and Ben went to the park with Mom. They had some bread to feed the ducks. Sara liked the ducks. They were yellow and brown and made funny noises. Ben liked the ducks too, but he also liked to run and play.
+
+"Look, Sara, a big duck!" Ben said, pointing to a white duck with a red face. "He looks hungry. Can I give him some bread?"
+
+"OK, Ben, but be careful. He might bite you," Sara said. She broke off a piece of bread and offered it to the duck. The duck came closer and took the bread from her hand. It quacked happily.
+
+Ben did the same. He broke off a piece of bread and offered it to the duck. But the duck did not take the bread. Instead, it snapped at Ben's finger. Ben cried out and dropped the bread. The duck ate the bread and quacked loudly.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow! The duck bit me! The duck bit me!" Ben shouted, holding his finger. Mom ran over and hugged him.
+
+"Are you OK, Ben? Let me see your finger," Mom said. She looked at his finger. It was not bleeding, but it was red and sore. "I'm sorry, Ben. That was a mean duck. He should not have bitten you. Here, let me kiss it better."
+
+Mom kissed Ben's finger and gave him a band-aid. Ben felt a little better. He smiled at Mom and Sara.
+
+"Thank you, Mom. Thank you, Sara. I'm sorry I was not careful. I still like ducks, but not that duck. He was difficult," Ben said.
+
+Mom and Sara nodded. They agreed. That duck was difficult. They decided to feed the other ducks instead. The other ducks were nice. They did not bite. They ate the bread and quacked softly. Sara and Ben had fun. They liked the park. They liked the ducks. Well, most of them.

+Anna and Ben were twins who lived on a farm. They liked to play with the animals and help their mom and dad. One day, they wanted to go to the pond and feed the ducks. But their mom said they had to wait until after lunch.
+
+Anna and Ben were impatient. They did not want to wait. They wanted to see the ducks now. They thought of a plan. They took some bread from the kitchen and ran to the pond. They did not tell their mom.
+
+At the pond, they saw many ducks. They were happy. They started to throw bread to the ducks. The ducks came closer and closer. They quacked and nibbled the bread. Anna and Ben laughed and threw more bread.
+
+But then, something bad happened. A big goose came out of the water. It was angry. It did not like Anna and Ben. It did not like the bread. It wanted the pond for itself. It hissed and flapped its wings. It chased Anna and Ben.

+
+She wanted to play with a squirrel, so she asked her mom, "Mom, can I come to the squirrel and give it a nut?"
+
+Her mom said, "Sure, but be gentle and quiet. Squirrels are shy and scared of people."
+
+Lily nodded and walked slowly to a big tree. She saw a brown squirrel sitting on a branch. She held out a nut and said softly, "Hello, squirrel. Do you want a nut?"
+
+The squirrel looked at Lily and tilted its head. It saw the nut and smelled it. It was hungry and curious. It decided to come to Lily and take the nut from her hand. Lily smiled and stroked its fur gently.
+
+"Wow, you are so soft and cute, squirrel. What is your name?" Lily asked.
+
+The squirrel made a chattering sound and nibbled the nut. It liked Lily and felt safe with her. It had a unique mark on its tail, a white stripe. It was different from the other squirrels.

+
+Lily hugged the squirrel and said, "Thank you, mom. I love you. And I love the squirrel, too. He is unique and special, just like me."
+Ben and Lily are friends. They like to play together. One day, they want to make a cake for Mom. They go to the kitchen and find a big bowl, some eggs, some flour, some sugar, and some butter.

+"Let's start our task," Ben says. "We need to break the eggs and put them in the bowl."
+
+"OK," Lily says. "I can break the eggs. You can put the flour and the sugar in the bowl."
+
+They work together and mix everything in the bowl. They see Mom's cake pan on the counter. They pour the batter in the cake pan.
+
+"Now we need to bake the cake," Ben says. "We need to put the cake pan in the oven. But the oven is hot. We need to be careful."

+Lily liked to look at small things with her microscope. She had a microscope that her dad gave her for her birthday. It was a cute microscope, with pink and purple colors and stickers of stars and flowers. Lily liked to put different things under the microscope and see how they looked.
+
+One day, Lily found a shiny rock in the garden. It was round and smooth and had many colors. Lily wondered what it was. She ran inside and put the rock under her microscope. She turned on the light and looked through the eye-piece.
+
+"Wow!" Lily said. "The rock is so pretty! It has many sparkles and patterns. It looks like a rainbow!"
+
+Lily wanted to show her mom what she saw. She called her mom and asked her to come and see. Her mom came and looked through the microscope too.
+
+"That is a beautiful rock, Lily," her mom said. "Do you know what it is?"
+
+Lily shook her head. She did not know.
+
+"It is a quartz crystal," her mom said. "It is a kind of mineral that forms in the earth. It has many shapes and colors. Some people use it for jewelry or decoration. You found a very special rock, Lily."
+
+Lily smiled. She was happy that she found a quartz crystal. She thanked her mom and gave her a hug. She decided to keep the rock in a special box and look at it with her microscope every day. She liked to see how it shone in the light. She thought it was the most beautiful thing in the world.
+Anna and Ben were going to the park with their mom. They had to sit in the car and wear their seat belts. Anna did not like her seat belt. It was too tight and made her feel uncomfortable. She tried to wiggle and loosen it, but it did not work.
+
+"Mom, can you make my seat belt less tight?" she asked.
+
+"No, Anna, you have to keep your seat belt on and snug. It is for your safety. If we stop suddenly or have a bump, the seat belt will protect you from getting hurt," mom said.
+
+"But it hurts me now. It squeezes my tummy and my chest. I can't breathe well," Anna said.
+
+Mom looked at Anna in the mirror. She saw that Anna's seat belt was not adjusted properly. It was too high and crossed her neck. Mom pulled over to the side of the road and got out of the car. She opened Anna's door and fixed her seat belt. She lowered the buckle and made sure the strap was across Anna's lap and shoulder, not her neck.
+
+"There, is that better?" mom asked.
+
+Anna felt the difference. Her seat belt was still snug, but not too tight. It did not squeeze her anymore. She could breathe well and move a little.
+
+"Yes, mom, thank you. It is much better. I'm sorry I complained," Anna said.
+
+Mom smiled and gave Anna a hug. She closed the door and got back in the driver's seat.
+
+"It's okay, Anna. I'm glad you told me. Sometimes seat belts can be uncomfortable, but they are very important. They keep us safe and sound. Now, are you ready to go to the park?" mom asked.
+
+Anna and Ben nodded and cheered. They were ready to go to the park and have fun. They wore their seat belts and felt safe and comfortable.
+Tom and Anna wanted to have a picnic in the park. They packed some bread, cheese, fruit and juice in a basket. They also took a big blanket to sit on.
+
+They walked to the park and found a lovely spot under a tree. They spread the blanket on the grass and opened the basket. They were very hungry and happy.
+
+"Let's add some cheese to the bread," Tom said. "It will be yummy."
+
+"Good idea," Anna said. "And we can have some fruit after."
+
+They made some cheese sandwiches and ate them. They drank some juice and felt full.
+
+They were about to have some fruit when a big dog came running towards them. The dog was barking and wagging its tail. It jumped on the blanket and knocked over the basket. The fruit rolled out and the dog ate some of it.
+
+"Hey, stop that!" Tom shouted. "That's our fruit!"
+
+"Go away, dog!" Anna cried. "You are naughty!"
+
+The dog did not listen. It kept eating the fruit and licking the juice. Tom and Anna tried to shoo it away, but it was too big and strong.
+
+They were very sad and angry. Their picnic was ruined. They did not know what to do.
+
+Then they saw a man running after the dog. He was the dog's owner. He called the dog's name and apologized to Tom and Anna.
+
+"I'm so sorry," he said. "He escaped from his leash. He loves fruit and juice. He didn't mean to spoil your picnic."
+
+He gave Tom and Anna some money to buy more fruit and juice. He also gave them a hug and a smile.
+
+Tom and Anna felt a little better. They thanked the man and the dog. They decided to go to the shop and get some more food. They still wanted to have a picnic in the park. They hoped it would be lovely.
+Tom and Sam were brothers who liked to play with toys. One day, they found a wire in the garage. It was long and shiny and they thought it was fun to bend and twist it.
+
+"Look, I can make a whistle with the wire!" Tom said. He wrapped the wire around his mouth and blew hard. He made a loud noise that sounded like a bird.
+
+"Wow, that's cool! Let me try!" Sam said. He grabbed the wire from Tom and put it in his mouth. He also blew hard and made a noise.
+
+But the wire was sharp and it hurt Sam's lips. He cried out in pain and dropped the wire. He had a cut on his mouth and it was bleeding.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow! You gave me a bad wire! You are mean!" Sam said. He was angry and he hit Tom on the arm.
+
+"Hey, stop it! I didn't know the wire was bad! You are mean!" Tom said. He was angry and he hit Sam back.
+
+They started to fight and they made a lot of noise. Their mom heard them and came to the garage. She saw them hitting each other and the wire on the floor.
+
+"What are you doing? Why are you fighting? And what is this wire?" She asked. She was angry and she took the wire away. She saw Sam's cut and she got a band-aid for him.
+
+"Mom, Tom gave me a bad wire and it hurt me!" Sam said.
+
+"Mom, Sam took my wire and he hit me!" Tom said.
+
+"Both of you are wrong. You should not play with wires. They are not toys. They are dangerous. They can hurt you and others. And you should not hit each other. You are brothers. You should love each other and share. Fighting is not nice. It makes you and others sad. Do you understand?" Mom said.
+
+Tom and Sam nodded. They felt sorry for what they did. They said sorry to each other and hugged. They said sorry to mom and thanked her for the band-aid.
+
+Mom smiled and hugged them. She was happy that they learned their lesson. She told them to play with safe toys and to be kind to each other. She gave them a cookie and a kiss. They went to their room and played nicely. They did not fight anymore. They did not play with wires anymore. They learned to whistle with their mouths.
+Sara and Ben were very happy. They were going on vacation with Mom and Dad. They packed their bags and got in the car. They wanted to see the wild animals at the zoo.
+
+"Can we jump with the monkeys?" Sara asked.
+
+"Maybe, but be careful. They are very fast and strong," Mom said.
+
+"Can we feed the lions?" Ben asked.
+
+"No, they are very hungry and fierce. We have to stay behind the fence," Dad said.
+
+Sara and Ben nodded. They were excited to see the wild animals, but they also knew they had to be safe.
+
+They drove for a long time and finally arrived at the zoo. They got out of the car and followed the signs. They saw many different animals, like elephants, giraffes, zebras, and penguins. They took pictures and learned new facts.
+
+Then they came to the monkey house. Sara and Ben ran to the window and watched the monkeys swing, play, and jump. They looked so fun and cute.
+
+"Can we go inside?" Sara asked.
+
+"Sorry, honey. Only the zookeepers can go inside. The monkeys might bite or scratch us," Mom said.
+
+"But they look so friendly," Ben said.
+
+Just then, one of the monkeys grabbed a banana from a zookeeper's hand and threw it at the window. It hit Ben in the face and made a loud splat. Sara and Ben screamed and laughed. The monkey made a funny face and jumped away.
+
+"See? They are very wild and naughty. We have to respect them and keep our distance," Dad said.
+
+Sara and Ben wiped the banana off their faces and clothes. They agreed with Dad. They still liked the monkeys, but they also learned a lesson. They continued their vacation and saw more wild animals, but they never forgot the monkey's prank.
+Anna and Ben are playing in the park. They like to run and slide and swing. They hear a sound from the road. It is a loud sound, like a big dog barking. They look and see a big red truck with a long ladder. The truck has a name on it. It says "Fire". Anna and Ben know what fire is. Fire is hot and bright and can hurt.
+
+The truck stops near a house. The house has smoke coming out of it. Smoke is like fog, but it is black and smells bad. The truck makes another sound. It is a high sound, like a whistle. Anna and Ben cover their ears. The sound hurts their ears. The truck is talking to other trucks. It is asking for help.
+
+Some men get out of the truck. They wear big suits and helmets and masks. They look like astronauts. They have hoses and axes and ladders. They run to the house. They spray water on the fire. They break the windows and doors. They look for people and animals. They are brave. They are firemen.
+
+Anna and Ben watch the firemen. They are scared and curious. They hope everyone is safe. They hope the fire goes away. They see a cat run out of the house. The cat is wet and dirty and scared. It runs to a woman. The woman is crying. She hugs the cat. She is happy. She is the cat's owner.
+
+The firemen put out the fire. The house is still standing, but it is damaged. The firemen talk to the woman. They tell her what happened. They tell her they are sorry. They tell her they did their best. They tell her they are glad she and her cat are okay. They tell her their names. They are kind and friendly.
+
+Anna and Ben clap their hands. They cheer for the firemen. They think the firemen are heroes. They want to say thank you. They want to say their names. They want to be friends. They run to the road. They wave their arms. They shout. But the firemen do not hear them. The firemen are busy. They are packing their truck. They are leaving. They make another loud sound. They make another high sound. They drive away. They become distant. Anna and Ben are sad. They wish they could talk to the firemen. They wish they could hear their names. They wish they could hear their sounds. They go back to the park. They play some more. They hope to see the firemen again. They hope to hear their names. They hope to hear their sounds.

+
+"Come on, Sue, let's go see what's in there!" Tom says.
+
+"OK, Tom, but be careful. Mom said drains are dirty and dangerous," Sue says.
+
+They run to the drain and Tom steps on the cover. The cover is old and rusty. It breaks and Tom falls into the drain. Sue screams.
+
+"Tom, Tom, are you OK?" Sue cries.
+
+But Tom does not answer. He is stuck in the dark and wet drain. He is scared and hurt. He sees rats and bugs. He smells bad things. He wants to get out.
+
+"Sue, help me, help me!" Tom shouts.
+
+Sue tries to help Tom. She looks for a stick or a rope. But she does not find anything. She runs to the road and waves her arms. She hopes someone will see her and help Tom.
+
+But no one sees her. The road is empty and quiet. The sun is hot and bright. Sue is tired and thirsty. She sits on the ground and cries.
+
+Tom and Sue are alone. They are in trouble. They miss their mom and dad. They wish they never went to the drain.
+Anna likes to play with her mirror. She likes to make faces and see how they look. She likes to call her mirror her friend. She talks to her mirror and tells it stories.
+
+One day, Anna's brother Tom comes into her room. He is angry. He wants to play with his cars, but Anna took one of them. He sees Anna playing with her mirror. He thinks it is silly. He wants to make fun of her.
+
+He grabs the mirror from Anna. He says, "This is not your friend. This is just a piece of glass. You are a baby. You don't know anything." He laughs at Anna. He throws the mirror on the floor. It breaks into many pieces.
+
+Anna is very sad. She cries. She sees her mirror broken. She sees her face in the pieces. She feels hurt. She feels alone. She calls for her mom. She wants her mom to help her. She wants her mom to fix her mirror. She wants her mom to make Tom say sorry.
+
+But her mom does not come. Her mom is busy. She is cooking dinner. She does not hear Anna's call. She does not see Anna's tears. She does not know Anna's pain. She thinks Anna and Tom are playing nicely. She thinks everything is fine. She thinks it is a mild day. She is wrong.
+Ben and Mia loved to visit the aquarium with their mom. They liked to see all the different fish and animals that lived in the water. Their favorite animal was the octopus. The octopus had eight long arms and could change its color and shape. It was very smart and curious.
+
+One day, the aquarium had a special event. They allowed some children to touch the octopus gently. Ben and Mia were very excited. They waited in line with their mom until it was their turn. A nice lady helped them put on gloves and showed them how to stroke the octopus's skin.
+
+"Hello, octopus," Ben said softly. "You are very cool and pretty."
+
+The octopus looked at Ben with its big eyes and moved one of its arms towards him. It touched Ben's glove with its suckers and made a funny noise.
+
+"Wow, it likes you, Ben," Mia said. "Can I touch it too?"
+
+"Of course, Mia," the nice lady said. "The octopus is very compassionate. It likes to make friends with gentle people."
+
+Mia reached out her hand and touched the octopus's other arm. The octopus changed its color to pink and blue and made another noise.
+
+"Hello, octopus," Mia said. "You are very kind and clever."
+
+The octopus smiled and wrapped its arms around Ben and Mia's hands. It gave them a gentle hug and a kiss.
+
+Ben and Mia giggled and hugged the octopus back. They felt very happy and lucky. They thanked the nice lady and the octopus for the amazing experience.
+
+They waved goodbye to the octopus and went to see the other animals. They told their mom all about their new friend. They hoped to see the octopus again soon.
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they found a stream in the woods near their house. The stream was clear and cool, and it made a nice sound as it flowed over the rocks.
+
+"Look, Lily, there are fish in the stream!" Tom said, pointing at the water. "Can we catch them?"
+
+"Let's try!" Lily said, picking up a stick. She tied a string to the stick and made a hook with a bent pin. She put a worm on the hook and threw it into the stream.
+
+Tom did the same, and they waited for the fish to bite. They were very quiet and still, hoping to see a fish pull on their string.
+
+Suddenly, Tom felt a tug on his stick. He pulled it up, and saw a big, shiny fish on his hook. He was very happy and proud.
+
+"Wow, Tom, you caught a fish!" Lily said, clapping her hands. "You are so lucky!"
+
+"Thank you, Lily!" Tom said, smiling. "Do you want to hold it?"
+
+"Yes, please!" Lily said, reaching for the fish. But as she took it from Tom, the fish slipped from her hands and fell back into the stream. It splashed them both with water, and they got very wet.
+
+"Oh, no, the fish is gone!" Lily said, feeling sad.
+
+"It's okay, Lily, don't cry," Tom said, hugging her. "We can try again another day. Maybe we will catch two fish next time."
+
+"Really?" Lily said, wiping her eyes.
+
+"Really," Tom said, nodding. "Come on, let's go home. We are soaked!"
+
+They laughed and ran back to their house, holding hands. They had fun playing by the stream, even if they lost the fish. They were lucky to have each other.
+Tim and his dog Spot like to go for walks. Tim has a thick leash for Spot, because Spot is big and strong. Tim puts the leash on Spot and says, "Let's go, boy!"
+
+They walk to the park, where there are many trees and flowers and birds. Spot likes to sniff and chase the birds, but Tim holds the leash tight. He does not want Spot to run away or get lost.
+
+At the park, they see a big bell. The bell is shiny and hangs from a rope. Tim wonders what the bell is for. He wants to hear it ring. He lets go of the leash and runs to the bell. He pulls the rope hard.
+
+The bell makes a loud noise. RING! RING! RING! Tim laughs and claps his hands. He likes the sound of the bell. But Spot does not like the sound of the bell. Spot is scared. He barks and runs away.
+
+Tim stops laughing. He sees Spot running away. He is worried. He calls, "Spot! Spot! Come back!" But Spot does not come back. He runs faster and faster. Tim runs after him. He hopes he can catch him. He wishes he did not let go of the leash. He wishes he did not ring the bell.
+Lily and Max are playing in the park. They like to slide and swing and run. Lily has a pink jacket with a zipper. Max has a blue jacket with buttons.
+
+"Look, Lily, I can button my jacket by myself!" Max says. He shows Lily how he fastens the buttons on his jacket.
+
+"That's good, Max, but I can zip my jacket by myself!" Lily says. She shows Max how she pulls the zipper up and down on her jacket.
+
+"Wow, Lily, that's cool, but I think buttons are better. Zippers can get stuck or break." Max says.
+
+"No, Max, zippers are better. Buttons can fall off or be hard to do. Zippers are easy and fun." Lily says.
+
+They start to argue about which jacket is better. They forget to play and have fun. They make angry faces at each other.
+
+Then, a big cloud covers the sun. The sky becomes dark and the wind blows. Lily and Max feel cold and scared.
+
+"Maybe we should go home, Lily. It looks like it will rain soon." Max says.
+
+"OK, Max, let's go home. But I still think zippers are better." Lily says.
+
+They start to walk home, holding hands. They see a light in the window of their house. They see their mom waving at them.
+
+"Hi, kids, I'm glad you're back. Did you have fun in the park?" Mom says.
+
+"Yes, mom, we had fun, but we also had a fight. We don't agree on which jacket is better, zippers or buttons." Lily says.
+
+Mom smiles and hugs them. She says, "I don't care if you have zippers or buttons, as long as you have warm jackets. And I don't care if you have different opinions, as long as you have kind hearts. I love you both, no matter what."
+
+Lily and Max hug mom back. They say, "We love you too, mom. And we're sorry we fought. We don't care if we have zippers or buttons, as long as we have each other."
+Lily liked to make patterns with her crayons. She had many colors and shapes to draw with. She made patterns on paper, on the wall, on the floor. She was very proud of her patterns.
+
+One day, a boy named Tom came to play with Lily. He saw her patterns and wanted them. He did not ask Lily if he could have them. He was very rude. He took her crayons and started to draw over her patterns. He made ugly lines and dots on them. He ruined them.
+
+Lily was very angry and sad. She shouted at Tom. "Stop! You are stealing my patterns! You are making them ugly! Go away!" She tried to take her crayons back, but Tom was bigger and stronger. He pushed her away and laughed. He did not care about Lily's feelings.
+
+Lily ran to her mom and told her what Tom did. Her mom was very sorry and hugged her. She said, "That was very mean of Tom. He should not steal your patterns or make them ugly. He should say sorry and give you your crayons back. Let's go and talk to him."
+
+Lily and her mom went back to the room where Tom was. They saw that he had made more ugly patterns on the wall and the floor. He had used all of Lily's crayons. He looked very happy and smug. Lily's mom said, "Tom, what are you doing? You have stolen Lily's crayons and ruined her patterns. That is not nice. You should apologize and help us clean up."
+
+Tom looked at Lily's mom and said, "No. I like these patterns. They are better than Lily's. I don't want to say sorry or clean up. I want to keep these crayons. They are mine now." He stuck out his tongue and turned away.
+
+Lily's mom was very angry and shocked. She said, "Tom, you are being very selfish and rude. You cannot keep these crayons. They belong to Lily. You have to give them back and help us clean up. Or else, you will have to go home and never play with Lily again."
+
+Tom did not like that. He did not want to go home or lose his friend. He realized that he had made a big mistake. He felt sorry and ashamed. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I'm sorry, Lily's mom. I was wrong. I should not have stolen your patterns or made them ugly. I should have asked you if I could play with your crayons. Please forgive me. I will give you your crayons back and help you clean up."
+
+Lily and her mom smiled and nodded. They accepted Tom's apology and gave him a chance. They all worked together to clean up the mess and make new patterns. They used different colors and shapes and shared their ideas. They made beautiful patterns that they all liked. They became friends again and had fun.
+Tom and Lily liked to play in the park. They liked to swing, run, and slide. One morning, they woke up early and saw the sunrise. It was bright and pretty. They wanted to go to the park and slide.
+
+They asked their mom if they could go. She said yes, but they had to be careful. She gave them some bread and water and a big hug. She said she would come later. Tom and Lily were happy. They ran to the park.
+
+The park was empty. They had the slide all to themselves. They took turns sliding down. They laughed and shouted. They had fun.
+
+But then, a big dog came. It was black and hairy. It had sharp teeth and red eyes. It barked and growled. It wanted to bite Tom and Lily. They were scared. They tried to run away, but the dog was faster. It chased them to the slide.
+
+Tom climbed up the slide. He told Lily to follow him. He said they would be safe on top. Lily tried to climb, but she was too slow. The dog caught her leg. It bit hard. Lily screamed. Tom saw blood. He cried.
+
+The dog dragged Lily away. Tom was alone on the slide. He did not know what to do. He waited for his mom. He hoped she would come soon. He looked at the sunrise. It was dull and sad. He wished he never went to the park. He wished he stayed in bed. He wished he could slide with Lily again.
+Ben and Mia are friends. They like to play with cars and trucks. They have many cars and trucks of different colors and sizes. They make zoom sounds when they move them on the floor.
+
+One day, Ben brings a new car to Mia's house. It is a big red car with shiny wheels and lights. Ben says, "Look at my new car! It is the best car ever! It can zoom very fast and do tricks. Your cars are old and slow. My car is better than yours!"
+
+Mia feels sad and angry. She does not like Ben's words. She thinks Ben is teasing her. She says, "No, your car is not better than mine! My cars are also good and fun. They can zoom and do tricks too. You are not nice, Ben. You are mean!"
+
+Ben sees Mia's face. He feels sorry. He does not want to hurt Mia's feelings. He says, "I'm sorry, Mia. I was just joking. I don't really think your cars are old and slow. I think your cars are also cool and smart. You are my friend, Mia. Can we share our cars and play together?"
+
+Mia smiles. She says, "OK, Ben. I forgive you. You are my friend too. Yes, we can share our cars and play together. Let's see who can zoom faster and do more tricks!"
+
+Ben and Mia hug. They are happy. They play with their cars and trucks. They make zoom sounds and laugh. They are both intelligent and kind. They are good friends.
+Lily was a little girl who liked to imagine. She imagined she was a princess, a pirate, a doctor, and many other things. She had a lot of toys and books to help her imagine.
+
+One day, she was imagining she was a chef. She had a big pot and a spoon, and she was making soup. She wanted to add some milk to her soup, so she went to the kitchen. She saw a carton of milk on the table. She thought it was her milk, but it was not. It was her brother's milk.
+
+She opened the carton and poured some milk into her pot. Then she heard a voice behind her.
+
+"Hey, that's my milk!" It was her brother, Tom. He was angry. He wanted to drink his milk, but now it was in Lily's soup.
+
+Lily was scared. She did not mean to take Tom's milk. She thought it was her milk. She did not know what to say.
+
+She looked at Tom and said, "I'm sorry, Tom. I'm sorry I took your milk. I was imagining I was a chef. I wanted to make soup. Can I give you some of my soup?"
+
+Tom looked at Lily and saw she was sorry. He was still angry, but he was also hungry. He liked soup. He said, "OK, Lily. I forgive you. But next time, ask me before you take my milk. And don't pour it in your soup. Milk is for drinking, not for cooking."
+
+Lily nodded. She said, "OK, Tom. I will ask you next time. And I will not pour milk in my soup. Milk is for drinking, not for cooking."
+
+They hugged and smiled. Then they went to the living room and ate some of Lily's soup. It was not very good, but they did not mind. They were happy to share. They imagined they were chefs, and they had fun.
+One day, Ben and Lily went to the park with Mom. They wanted to play on the swings and the slide. But when they got there, they saw a lot of fog. The fog was white and thick and cold. They could not see the swings or the slide or the other kids.
+
+"This is terrible!" said Ben. "We can't play in the fog!"
+
+"Maybe we can make something with the fog," said Lily. She had a big smile. She liked to make things.
+
+"What can we make with the fog?" asked Ben.
+
+Lily thought for a moment. Then she said, "We can make a fog monster!"
+
+She ran to a big tree and wrapped her scarf around it. She tied a knot to make a nose. Then she stuck two sticks in the scarf to make eyes. She found some leaves and pine cones and stuck them in the scarf to make teeth and ears.
+
+"Look, Ben! It's a fog monster!" she said.
+
+Ben looked at the fog monster. He thought it was funny and scary at the same time. He laughed and said, "That's a great fog monster, Lily! Let's make another one!"
+
+They ran to another tree and made another fog monster with Ben's hat and gloves. They had fun making fog monsters until the fog cleared and they could see the swings and the slide and the other kids.
+
+They left their fog monsters on the trees and went to play with their friends. They told them about their fog monsters and how they made them with the fog.
+
+The other kids thought they were very clever and wanted to see their fog monsters. But when they got to the trees, the fog monsters were gone. The wind had blown them away.
+
+Ben and Lily were sad for a moment. Then they smiled and said, "Maybe they went to find more fog to play with. Maybe we'll see them again someday."
+
+They hugged each other and went back to play. They had a wonderful day at the park.
+Lily ran fast in the park. She wanted to win the race. She saw a big medal at the end. It was shiny and red. She liked it a lot.
+
+Tom ran fast too. He wanted the medal too. He was behind Lily. He tried to catch up. He said, "Lily, wait for me!"
+
+But Lily did not wait. She ran faster. She reached the end. She got the medal. She was happy. She said, "I won! I won!"
+
+Tom reached the end too. He was sad. He did not get the medal. He said, "Lily, you are too fast. You are not fair."
+
+Lily looked at Tom. She saw his sad face. She felt sorry. She said, "Tom, do not be sad. You ran well too. You are my friend. We can share the medal."
+
+She gave Tom the medal. She said, "Here, you can have it. It is big enough for both of us."
+
+Tom smiled. He said, "Thank you, Lily. You are very kind. You are my friend too. We can share the medal."
+
+They hugged. They were happy. They shared the medal. They played in the park. They had fun.
+Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play pretend. One day, they found a big box in the garage. They opened it and saw many bones inside. They were not scared, they were excited.
+
+"Look, Ben, we can make a skeleton!" Lily said.
+
+"Yes, let's do it!" Ben agreed.
+
+They took out the bones and tried to put them together. They made a head, a body, arms and legs. They were very proud of their skeleton.
+
+"Hello, Mr. Skeleton, we are Lily and Ben. Do you want to play with us?" Lily asked.
+
+The skeleton did not answer, but it smiled with its teeth. It was a polite skeleton.
+
+"Let's take him to the garden and show him our toys!" Ben suggested.
+
+They carried the skeleton to the garden and played with him. They gave him a hat, a scarf and a ball. They had a lot of fun.
+
+The skeleton was happy too. He liked Lily and Ben. They were kind and friendly. He was glad they found him in the box. He was not lonely anymore.
+Sara loved her chicken very much. She named her chicken Fluffy, because she had soft white feathers. Sara liked to feed Fluffy corn and lettuce, and to hug her gently. Fluffy was a charming chicken, and she clucked happily when Sara came to visit her.
+
+One day, Sara found Fluffy lying on the ground, not moving. She was very scared and sad. She ran to her mom and cried, "Mom, Fluffy is sick! She is not clucking, she is not eating, she is not moving!"
+
+Mom came with Sara to see Fluffy. She touched Fluffy's head and felt that it was very hot. She said, "Oh, poor Fluffy. She has a fever. She is suffering from a bad bug. We need to help her get better."
+
+Mom and Sara brought Fluffy inside the house. They wrapped her in a warm blanket and gave her some water and medicine. They stayed with her and talked to her softly. They said, "Fluffy, we love you. You are a brave and charming chicken. You will feel better soon."
+
+After a few days, Fluffy started to cluck again. She ate some corn and lettuce, and wiggled her wings. She looked at Sara and Mom with her bright eyes, and thanked them for taking care of her. Sara and Mom were very happy and relieved. They hugged Fluffy and said, "Fluffy, you are a wonderful chicken. We are so glad you are well again."
+Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play together in the park. They like to swing, slide and run. One day, they see a big dog. The dog is black and white. He has a long tail and a wet nose.
+
+"Can we pet the dog?" Sara asks Ben.
+
+"I don't know," Ben says. "Maybe he is not nice. Maybe he will bite us."
+
+Sara is not afraid. She walks to the dog. She says hello. The dog wags his tail. He licks Sara's face. Sara laughs. She pets the dog. She likes him.
+
+"See, he is nice," Sara says to Ben. "He is not serious. He is happy. Come and pet him too."
+
+Ben is still afraid. He stays away from the dog. He does not want to get licked. He does not want to pet him.
+
+Sara is sad. She wants Ben to be happy too. She wants him to like the dog. She has an idea. She picks a flower. She gives it to Ben.

+
+The dog barks. He is happy too. He has two new friends. He kisses them both. They all laugh. They all play. They are happy. They are True friends.
+Lily wanted to help her mom make a salad. She saw a big bowl of green leaves on the table. She asked her mom if she could pick some leaves for the salad. Her mom said yes, but be careful not to drop them.
+
+Lily was very happy. She climbed on a chair and reached for the bowl. She tried to grab a handful of leaves, but she was clumsy. She dropped some leaves on the floor. She said sorry to her mom. Her mom said it was okay, and asked her to try again.
+
+Lily tried again. She picked some leaves more gently. She put them in another bowl. She did not drop any leaves this time. She smiled and said, "I did it!" Her mom smiled back and said, "You did! You succeeded!" She gave Lily a hug and thanked her for helping.
+
+Lily felt proud and happy. She liked helping her mom. She liked making salad. She liked learning new words. She said, "Can I pick some more leaves, mom?" Her mom said, "Of course, you can. You are a good helper, Lily."
+Sara liked to write in her diary every day. She had a pink diary with a lock and a key. She wrote about her friends, her toys, her dreams and her feelings. She kept her diary under her pillow, where no one could find it.
+
+One day, Sara came home from school and saw her little brother, Ben, in her room. He had her diary in his hands and was trying to open it. Sara was very angry and ran to him. She shouted, "That's mine! Give it back! It does not belong to you!"
+
+Ben looked at her and said, "But I want to see what's inside. Maybe there are tasty things to eat." He licked the cover of the diary and made a face. "Yuck! This is not tasty. This is paper."
+
+Sara snatched the diary from him and hugged it. She said, "This is not for eating. This is for writing. You can't read it. It's a secret." She put the key in the lock and opened the diary. She checked if Ben had torn any pages or drawn any pictures. She was relieved to see that her diary was still safe.
+
+She said to Ben, "You can't touch my diary again. If you want to write, you can have your own diary. I will help you find one." She took him by the hand and led him to their mom. She asked her mom to buy Ben a diary. She hoped that he would like it and leave hers alone.
+Lily was a hungry dog. She liked to chew on many things. She chewed on her toys, her bones, and sometimes her owner's shoes. But her favorite thing to chew on was the bag of treats.
+
+The bag of treats was on the table. Lily could smell the treats. They smelled yummy. She wanted to eat them. But the table was too high for her. She could not reach the bag.
+
+Lily was a persistent dog. She did not give up. She tried to jump on the table. She tried to push a chair to the table. She tried to bark at the bag. But nothing worked. The bag of treats was still on the table.
+
+Then Lily had an idea. She saw a ball on the floor. She picked up the ball with her mouth. She ran to the table. She threw the ball at the bag. The ball hit the bag. The bag fell off the table. The bag landed on the floor. The bag opened. The treats spilled out.

+One day, Ben finds a new book on his shelf. It is big and shiny. It has a picture of a forest on the cover. Ben wants to read it. He opens the book and sees a map. The map has a red line and a blue line. The red line says "Follow me to the treasure". The blue line says "Follow me to the danger".
+
+Ben is curious. He wants to see the treasure. He puts his finger on the red line and follows it with his eyes. He turns the pages and sees more pictures of the forest. He sees animals, trees, flowers and a river. He likes the book.
+
+He comes to a page where the red line stops. There is a big X on the ground. Ben thinks the treasure is under the X. He tries to lift the page, but it is stuck.

It looks at Ben and says "Hello, little snack".
+
+Ben is afraid. He screams and drops the book. He runs to the door, but it is locked. He bangs on the door and calls for his mom and dad. He feels uncomfortable and wants to get out.
+
+His mom and dad hear him and come to his room. They open the door and see Ben crying. They hug him and ask him what is wrong. Ben points to the book and says "Spider, spider, bad book". His mom and dad look at the book and see the spider. They are surprised and confused. They pick up the book and shake it. The spider falls out and lands on the floor. It is not real. It is made of plastic and has a string attached to it. It is a prank book.
+
+Ben's mom and dad laugh and explain to him that the book is a joke. They say that someone gave it to them as a gift and they forgot to check it. They say that they are sorry and that they love him. They say that they will get rid of the book and get him a nice book instead.
+
+Ben calms down and hugs them back. He says that he loves them too. He says that he does not like the prank book. He says that he likes books with happy endings.
+Anna and Ben were playing outside when they saw a big, dark cloud in the sky. They heard a loud noise and felt some drops of water on their faces.
+
+"Uh-oh, it's going to rain!" Ben said. "Let's go inside!"
+
+They ran to the house and looked out the window. The rain was falling fast and hard. They saw some flashes of light and heard some more noises.
+
+"What is that?" Anna asked, pointing to the light.
+
+"That's lightning," Ben said. "It's like a big spark in the sky. It makes thunder, the noise we hear."
+
+"Why does it do that?" Anna asked.
+
+Ben shrugged. "I don't know. Maybe Mom can explain."
+
+They went to find Mom, who was in the kitchen. They told her what they saw and heard.
+
+Mom smiled and said, "Lightning and thunder are part of a storm. Sometimes, when the sun and the rain mix, they make something very beautiful. Do you want to see?"
+
+She took them to the back door and opened it. The rain had stopped and the sun was shining. In the sky, they saw a big arc of colors.
+
+"Wow!" Anna and Ben exclaimed.
+
+"That's a rainbow," Mom said. "It's like a bridge of light. It has many colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. Can you say them with me?"
+
+Anna and Ben repeated the colors after Mom. They looked at the rainbow and smiled.
+
+"It's so pretty!" Anna said.
+
+"It's amazing!" Ben said.
+
+Mom hugged them and said, "Yes, it is. And you know what? Some people say that there is a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Do you believe that?"
+
+Anna and Ben looked at each other and giggled.
+
+"Maybe," they said. "But we don't need it. We have each other and Mom. That's better than gold."

+

+
+The girl shakes her head. "No, I don't like the water. It's cold and deep. I can't swim," she says.
+
+Tom smiles. "Don't worry, I can teach you. The water is not cold, it's warm. And you can wear a floaty to stay up. Swimming is fun, you'll see."
+
+The girl looks at her mom. Her mom nods. "Okay, I'll try," the girl says.
+
+Tom helps the girl put on a floaty and holds her hand. He walks with her into the water. He shows her how to kick and splash and blow bubbles. The girl giggles. She likes the water. She likes Tom.

+Lily and Ben were going to the zoo with their mom. They were very excited to see the animals, especially the monkeys. They liked how the monkeys jumped and played and made funny noises.
+
+But on the way to the zoo, their car got stuck in a big traffic jam. There were too many cars on the road and they had to wait and wait. Lily and Ben felt bored and sad. They wanted to see the monkeys soon.
+
+"Mom, why are we not moving?" Lily asked.
+
+"There is a delay, sweetie. That means we have to wait a little longer. I'm sorry, but we can't do anything about it. We just have to be patient and calm," mom said.
+
+"Can we play a game while we wait?" Ben suggested.
+
+"Sure, what game do you want to play?" mom asked.
+
+"How about I spy? I spy with my little eye something that is red," Ben said.
+
+Lily looked around and tried to find something red. She saw a red car, a red sign, a red flower. She guessed them all, but Ben said no.
+
+"What is it then?" Lily asked.
+
+"It's a red balloon. Look, there is a boy holding a red balloon in the car next to us," Ben said.
+
+Lily saw the balloon and smiled. She liked balloons. She waved at the boy and he waved back. They both felt happy.
+
+The traffic jam cleared and their car started moving again. Lily and Ben cheered. They were almost at the zoo. They hoped the monkeys were still there and ready to play. They decided to be careful and not scare them. They wanted to be friends with the monkeys.
+Anna liked to paint. She had many colors and brushes. She painted flowers and trees and animals. She was a good painter.
+
+One day, she wanted to paint a big picture on the wall. She asked her mom if she could do it. Her mom said yes, but she had to be careful. She gave Anna a big sheet of paper and some tape. Anna taped the paper on the wall. She was happy.
+
+She started to paint. She painted a blue sky and a yellow sun. She painted a green hill and a red house. She painted a brown dog and a white cat. She was having fun.
+
+But then, she made a mistake. She spilled some black paint on the paper. It made a big stain. Anna was sad. She tried to wipe it off, but it only made it worse. She felt helpless. She did not know how to solve her problem.
+
+She started to cry. Her mom heard her and came to see. She saw the stain and the tears. She hugged Anna and said, "Don't worry, sweetie. It's okay. We can fix it."
+
+She took another sheet of paper and taped it over the stain. She said, "Look, now you have a new paper. You can paint something else. Maybe you can paint a night sky with stars and a moon. Or maybe you can paint a black bird or a black car. What do you think?"
+
+Anna stopped crying. She thought for a moment. She said, "I want to paint a night sky with stars and a moon. And I want to paint a black bird flying in the sky. Can you help me?"
+
+Her mom smiled and said, "Of course I can. Let's do it together. You are a great painter, Anna. And I love you very much."
+
+They painted the night sky and the black bird. They had fun. Anna was happy. She thanked her mom for helping her. She said, "You are the best mom in the world. And I love you very much too."
+Lily and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big tree with many leaves. Lily likes the green leaves. She takes one and puts it in her hair. She says, "Look, Ben, I am a fairy!"
+
+Ben likes the yellow leaves. He takes one and puts it in his pocket. He says, "Look, Lily, I have a treasure!"
+
+But then a big dog comes. The dog is bad. He barks and runs to Lily and Ben. He wants to take their leaves. He jumps on Lily and pulls her leaf from her hair. He jumps on Ben and bites his pocket. He takes his leaf too.
+
+Lily and Ben are scared and sad. They cry and run to their mom. Their mom hugs them and says, "It's okay, my loves. The dog is bad. He should not take your leaves. You can find more leaves in the park. They are not your only leaves."
+
+Lily and Ben stop crying. They nod and smile. They say, "Thank you, mom. We love you. We will find more leaves. They are our fun leaves." They go back to the park and play with more leaves. They are happy again.
+Lily loved to read books. She read every day, in her room, on the sofa, in the garden. She read about animals, and princesses, and pirates, and fairies. She read so much that she knew many words and stories. But she had no one to share them with. She felt lonely.
+
+One day, her mom said, "Lily, I have a surprise for you. We are going to the library. You can choose any book you want, and read it there. And if you read it well, you will get a reward." Lily was very happy. She put on her coat and shoes, and grabbed her bag. She wondered what the reward would be.
+
+At the library, Lily saw many books. She looked at the pictures, and the titles, and the colors. She picked one that had a big red dragon on the cover. She liked dragons. She took the book to a table, and opened it. She started to read.
+
+The book was about a boy who wanted to be a knight. He had to fight the dragon, and save the princess. He was brave, and smart, and kind. Lily liked the boy. She read faster, and faster, and faster. She wanted to know what would happen.
+
+When she finished the book, she closed it, and smiled. She had read it well. She looked around, and saw her mom. Her mom was smiling too. She came to the table, and said, "Lily, you did a great job. You read the whole book. I'm so proud of you. And I have your reward." She reached into her bag, and pulled out something. It was a stuffed dragon. It was red, and soft, and cute. Lily gasped. She loved the dragon. She hugged it, and said, "Thank you, mom. This is the best reward ever." Her mom hugged her back, and said, "You're welcome, Lily. I love you." Lily felt happy. She had a new book, and a new dragon, and a mom who loved her. She was not lonely anymore.
+Lily and Ben were jolly twins who liked to play in the park. They loved to swing, slide and run with their dog Spot. One day, they saw a big truck with a sign that said "Ice Cream". They ran to the truck and asked for a cone each.
+
+"What taste do you want?" the man in the truck asked.
+
+"Chocolate!" Lily said.
+
+"Vanilla!" Ben said.
+
+The man gave them their cones and they licked them happily. But then, a bee flew near Ben's cone and landed on the ice cream. Ben was scared of bees and he dropped his cone on the ground. He started to cry.
+
+"Don't cry, Ben!" Lily said. "You can have some of mine!"
+
+She offered her cone to Ben, but he shook his head. He wanted his own cone. He cried louder.
+
+The man in the truck heard Ben's cry and felt sorry for him. He came out of the truck and said, "Hey, little boy, don't cry. I have another cone for you. Here, take this one. It's vanilla and strawberry. It's very yummy!"
+
+Ben looked at the new cone and stopped crying. He smiled and said, "Thank you, mister!"
+
+He took the cone and licked it. He liked the taste of vanilla and strawberry. He was jolly again.
+
+Lily was jolly too. She was happy that Ben was happy. She said, "Let's go play, Ben!"
+
+They ran to the swings with their cones and their dog. They swung high and low and laughed. They had a jolly day in the park.
+Sara and Ben were twins who liked to draw. They had many colors of ink to make pictures with. One day, they found a thin book with no words or pictures on it. They thought it was a good book to draw on.
+
+"Look, Ben, we can make our own story with this book!" Sara said.
+
+"Yes, let's do that!" Ben agreed.
+
+They took the book and some ink to their room. They started to draw on the first page. Sara drew a sun and a flower. Ben drew a car and a dog. They were happy with their drawings.
+
+They turned to the next page and drew some more. Sara drew a house and a tree. Ben drew a boat and a fish. They liked their drawings.
+
+They turned to the next page and drew some more. But then, they noticed something. The ink from the first page had gone through the thin paper and made marks on the second page. And the ink from the second page had gone through the thin paper and made marks on the third page. Their drawings were all mixed up and messy.
+
+"Oh no, look what happened!" Sara cried.
+
+"Our drawings are ruined!" Ben said.
+
+They felt sad and angry. They threw the book on the floor and ran to their mom.
+
+"Mom, mom, look at this book! It's a bad book! It ruined our drawings!" they complained.
+
+Mom looked at the book and saw the ink marks. She also saw the cover of the book. It said: "My Diary".
+
+"Children, this is not a bad book. This is my book. It's where I write my thoughts and feelings. It's very important to me. You should not have taken it without asking me. And you should not have drawn on it with ink. You should have used pencils or crayons. They don't go through the thin paper. You should be more careful and respectful with other people's things." Mom said.
+
+Sara and Ben felt ashamed. They realized they had done something wrong. They said sorry to Mom and hugged her.
+
+"We're sorry, Mom. We didn't know it was your book. We won't do it again. We'll be more careful and respectful with other people's things." they said.
+
+Mom smiled and forgave them. She gave them a new book with thick paper and some pencils and crayons. She told them they could draw their own story with them.
+
+"Thank you, Mom. We love you." they said.
+
+They learned their lesson. They never took things without asking again. And they always used the right tools for drawing. They made many beautiful pictures with their new book. And they always showed them to Mom. Mom was proud of them.
+Lila was a little girl who liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite one was Daisy. Daisy had a pink dress, yellow hair and blue eyes. Lila loved to hug Daisy and talk to her.
+
+One day, Lila and Daisy went to the garden with Mommy. Mommy was picking some cauliflower for dinner. Lila liked cauliflower, but Daisy did not. Daisy said cauliflower was yucky and made her nose wrinkle. Lila tried to make Daisy like cauliflower, but Daisy shook her head.
+
+Mommy said it was time to go inside and nap. Lila and Daisy followed Mommy to the house. Lila was sleepy, but Daisy was not. Daisy wanted to play more. Lila put Daisy on the bed and tucked her in. She kissed Daisy and said, "Nap time, Daisy. You need to rest. Maybe you will like cauliflower better when you wake up."
+
+But Daisy did not nap. She waited until Lila and Mommy were asleep, and then she got out of the bed. She tiptoed to the kitchen, where she saw the cauliflower on the counter. She decided to try a bite, just to see if it was really yucky. She reached for the cauliflower, but it was too high. She climbed on a chair, but it was too wobbly. She fell off the chair and knocked over the cauliflower. The cauliflower broke into many pieces and scattered on the floor.
+
+Daisy was scared and sorry. She had made a big mess and ruined the cauliflower. She ran back to the bed and hid under the blanket. She hoped Mommy would not be angry. She wished she had napped with Lila. She learned that cauliflower was delicate and not for playing. She closed her eyes and whispered, "I'm sorry, Mommy. I'm sorry, Lila. I'm sorry, cauliflower."
+Ben and Lily liked to play in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make yummy food. They used pots and pans and spoons and bowls. But they knew they should not touch the oven. The oven was hot and could hurt them.
+
+One day, Ben and Lily were playing in the kitchen while Mom was in the living room. They saw a cake on the counter. It looked so good. They wanted to taste it.
+
+"Let's have some cake," Ben said.
+
+"OK, but we have to be fast," Lily said. "Mom will be back soon."
+
+They climbed on a chair and reached for the cake. But the cake was too far. They had to stretch their arms. They did not see the oven knob. They bumped it with their elbow. The oven turned on.
+
+Suddenly, they smelled something bad. They saw smoke coming out of the oven. They heard a loud beep. They were scared.
+
+"Mom, help!" they cried.
+
+Mom ran to the kitchen. She saw the oven on fire. She saw Ben and Lily on the chair. She was angry and sad.
+
+"What did you do?" she yelled. "You could have burned the house down! You could have hurt yourselves! Don't you value your safety?"
+
+She grabbed Ben and Lily and took them out of the kitchen. She called the firemen. The firemen came and put out the fire. They said the oven was broken. They said the cake was ruined.
+
+Ben and Lily felt sorry. They did not mean to cause trouble. They did not mean to waste the cake. They did not value the oven. They learned a hard lesson. They wished they had listened to Mom. They wished they had played somewhere else.
+Ella and Ben were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They also made a snow fort and threw snowballs at each other. They were having a lot of fun.
+
+Then they saw an elderly man walking with a reindeer. The reindeer had a red nose and a bell around its neck. The man had a long white beard and a red coat. He looked like Santa Claus.
+
+"Hello, children," the man said. "Do you like my reindeer? His name is Rudy. He is very special. He can fly and help me deliver presents."
+
+"Wow!" Ella and Ben said. "Can we pet him? Can we ride him?"
+
+"Sure, you can," the man said. "But you have to be gentle and kind. And you have to yield to him. That means you have to let him go where he wants to go. He knows the way."
+
+Ella and Ben nodded. They petted Rudy and thanked the man. Then they climbed on his back and held on tight. The man smiled and waved. He said, "Ho ho ho! Merry Christmas!"
+
+Rudy ran and jumped. He flew into the air with Ella and Ben. They saw the snow and the trees and the houses below. They felt the wind and the sun on their faces. They laughed and cheered. They had the best ride ever.
+Lily was a youth who liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Anna. Anna had a light dress and long hair. Lily liked to brush Anna's hair and make her talk.
+
+One day, Lily's brother Tom came into her room. He was angry because Lily had taken his ball. He saw Anna on the bed and grabbed her. He pulled her hair and tore her dress. He threw her on the floor and ran away.
+
+Lily saw what Tom had done and cried. She ran to Anna and picked her up. She hugged her and said, "I'm sorry, Anna. You must suffer a lot. Tom is very bad. He hurt you and me."
+
+Lily's mom heard her cry and came into the room. She saw the mess and asked, "What happened, Lily?"
+
+Lily showed her mom Anna and said, "Tom did this. He was mean to Anna. He made her suffer."
+
+Lily's mom was sad and angry. She said, "That's not nice, Tom. He should not hurt your doll or you. He should say sorry and help you fix Anna. I will talk to him and make him do that."
+
+Lily's mom took Lily and Anna to the living room. She called Tom and told him what he had done. She made him apologize to Lily and Anna and give them a hug. She also gave him some thread and a needle and told him to sew Anna's dress. He did not like it, but he did it.
+
+Lily was happy that her mom helped her and that Tom said sorry. She thanked her mom and Tom and said, "I love you, Anna. You are my best doll. You are very brave. You did not suffer too much." She kissed Anna and smiled.
+Ben and Mia were twins who liked to wander in the woods. They wanted to see animals and plants and have fun. One day, they saw a big tree with a hole in it. They wondered what was inside.
+
+"Let's go and look," Ben said.
+
+"Maybe there is a bird or a mouse," Mia said.
+
+They walked to the tree and peeked inside. They saw two big eyes and a beak. It was an owl!
+
+"Hello, owl," Ben said.
+
+"Who, who, who are you?" the owl said.
+
+The twins were surprised. They did not know owls could talk.
+
+"We are Ben and Mia. We like to wander in the woods," Mia said.
+
+The owl looked at them and tilted his head. He thought they were funny.
+
+"Do you want to play with me?" the owl said.
+
+"Yes, please," the twins said.
+
+The owl flew out of the hole and landed on a branch. He showed them how to flap their arms like wings, how to make owl sounds, and how to spot other animals. The twins had a lot of fun with the owl. They learned many things from him.
+
+They played until the sun was low in the sky. Then the owl said, "It is time for me to go. I have to hunt for food at night. Thank you for playing with me. You are very nice and funny."
+
+"Thank you, owl. You are very smart and friendly. Can we see you again?" Ben said.
+
+"Who, who, who knows? Maybe you will, maybe you won't. But remember, I live in this tree. If you wander by, say hello to me," the owl said.
+
+He waved his wing and flew away. The twins waved back and ran home. They told their mom and dad about their new friend, the owl. They hoped to see him again. They had a wonderful day.
+Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play together. One day, they see a big green package on the porch. They run to the door and ask Mom.
+
+"Mom, what is that?" Sara says.
+
+"It is a surprise for you and Ben. Do you want to open it?" Mom says.
+
+"Yes, yes, yes!" Ben says.
+
+Mom smiles and lets them open the package. Inside, they find two new bikes. One is blue and one is pink. They are very happy.
+
+"Wow, thank you, Mom!" Sara says.
+
+"Can we ride them now?" Ben says.
+
+"Sure, but first you have to put on your helmets and seat belts. Safety first!" Mom says.
+
+She helps them put on their helmets and seat belts. Then, she shows them how to seat on the bikes and pedal. They follow her to the park. They have fun riding their bikes and waving to their friends. They love their new bikes and their green package.
+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play outside with their toys. Today, they have a hoop and a ball. They take turns to throw the ball into the hoop. It is fun.
+
+But then, it starts to rain. The rain is wet and cold. Tom and Mia run inside the house. They leave the hoop and the ball outside. They are sad.
+
+"Can we play with something else?" Mia asks.
+
+"Let's see what we have," Tom says. They look around the room. They see some books, some blocks, some crayons, and some paper.
+
+"What do you want to do?" Tom asks.
+
+"I want to draw," Mia says. She picks up a crayon and a paper. She starts to draw a hoop and a ball.
+
+"I want to read," Tom says. He picks up a book and sits on the couch. He opens the book and looks at the pictures.
+
+They are quiet for a while. They miss the hoop and the ball.
+
+Then, the rain stops. The sun comes out. It is bright and warm. Tom and Mia look out the window. They see the hoop and the ball. They are wet.
+
+"Can we go outside now?" Mia asks.
+
+"Yes, but we have to dry the hoop and the ball first," Tom says.
+
+They run outside. They take the hoop and the ball. They use a towel to dry them. They are happy.
+
+"Let's play again," Mia says.
+
+"OK, but I go first," Tom says.
+
+They take turns to throw the ball into the hoop. It is fun.
+Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play in the garden. The garden had many flowers, trees and birds. They liked to smell the flowers, climb the trees and watch the birds. One day, they saw a big red apple on a branch. They both wanted to eat the apple.
+
+"Let me have the apple, Tom. I saw it first," Lily said.
+
+"No, I want the apple, Lily. I am more hungry," Tom said.
+
+They began to pull the apple from both sides. They did not want to share the apple. They did not say thank you to the tree for giving them the apple. They did not care about the other fruits in the garden.
+
+The apple was very strong and did not break. But the branch was not strong and it broke. The branch fell down with the apple and hit Lily and Tom on their heads. They both cried and dropped the apple. The apple rolled away and a bird picked it up and flew away.
+
+Lily and Tom had bumps on their heads and no apple to eat. They felt sad and sorry. They learned that they should not be greedy and selfish. They should share and say thank you. They should be kind to the garden and the animals. They hugged each other and said sorry. They hoped the bird would enjoy the apple. They went home to get some ice for their heads.
+
+The end.
+Sara loves music. She likes to sing and dance and play with her toy piano. She likes to make music every day, even when it is time to sleep.
+
+But her brother Ben does not like music. He likes to read and draw and play with his toy cars. He does not like to hear Sara's music when he is doing his things. He thinks her music is too loud and crazy.
+
+One day, Sara was making music in her room. She was singing and playing with her toy piano. She was having fun. But Ben was in his room, trying to read a book. He could not read because of Sara's music. He was angry.
+
+He went to Sara's room and said, "Stop making music! You are too loud and crazy! I can not read my book!"
+
+Sara said, "No, I will not stop! I love music! You are too quiet and boring! I can not have fun!"
+
+They started to argue and shout. They did not listen to each other. They did not want to share or compromise.
+
+Their mom heard them and came to their rooms. She was not happy. She said, "What is going on here? Why are you fighting? You are making too much noise!"
+
+She saw Sara's toy piano and Ben's book. She had an idea. She said, "Sara, you can make music, but not so loud. You can use your headphones to listen to your music. That way, you will not bother Ben. Ben, you can read your book, but not so angry. You can use your bookmark to save your page. That way, you will not lose your place."
+
+She gave Sara a pair of headphones and Ben a bookmark. She said, "Now, you can both do what you like, but you have to respect each other. You have to be kind and polite. You have to prevent problems, not cause them."
+
+Sara and Ben looked at each other. They felt sorry. They said, "Sorry, mom. Sorry, Sara. Sorry, Ben."
+
+They hugged and smiled. They thanked their mom for her help. They learned to prevent fights and to enjoy their music and their books.
+Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play at the beach. They made sand castles, dug holes, and collected shells. Sometimes they went into the water, but not too far, because the sea was big and scary.
+
+One day, they saw a weird thing in the water. It was gray and round and had a long nose. It made a loud noise and sprayed water in the air. Lily and Ben were curious and wanted to see it better.
+
+"Look, Ben, it's a fish!" Lily said.
+
+"No, it's not a fish, it's a bird!" Ben said.
+
+They ran to the water and waved at the weird thing. The weird thing saw them and came closer. It was friendly and let them touch its nose and skin. It was wet and smooth and warm.
+
+"Hello, weird thing, what are you?" Lily asked.
+
+"I'm a dolphin, and I like to bathe in the sea," the weird thing said.
+
+"A dolphin? That's a funny name. Can we bathe with you?" Ben asked.
+
+"Sure, you can, but be careful, the sea can be rough sometimes. Hold on to my fin and I'll show you around," the dolphin said.
+
+Lily and Ben were happy and excited. They held on to the dolphin's fin and he took them for a ride. They saw other fish, crabs, starfish, and seaweed. They felt the waves and the wind and the sun. They had a lot of fun.
+
+They thanked the dolphin for the ride and said goodbye. They went back to the shore and told their mom and dad about their adventure. They said they made a new friend who was a dolphin and who liked to bathe in the sea. Their mom and dad smiled and hugged them. They said they were proud of them for being brave and kind. They said they were lucky to meet such a weird and wonderful thing.
+Anna and Ben are at the park with Mom. They see a big slide that looks fun. They run to the slide and wait in line with other kids. Anna is first, then Ben, then a boy in a red shirt.
+
+Anna climbs up the ladder and sits on the slide. She looks down and sees how high it is. She feels scared. She does not want to slide down. She panics. She cries and holds on to the slide.
+
+"Anna, what's wrong?" Mom asks from below. "It's okay, you can do it. Just let go and slide down. I'll catch you."
+
+"No, no, no!" Anna shouts. "I don't want to slide. I want to go back."
+
+But she can't go back. There are other kids behind her. They are waiting for their turn. They are getting angry. The boy in the red shirt pushes Ben. Ben pushes him back. They start to fight.
+
+"Stop it, stop it!" Mom says. "You have to wait your turn. Anna, please slide down. You're holding up the line."
+
+Anna looks at Mom. She looks at Ben. She looks at the boy in the red shirt. She looks at the slide. She is still scared. But she does not want to make Mom and Ben sad. She does not want to make the other kids mad. She takes a deep breath. She lets go of the slide. She slides down.
+
+She feels the wind in her hair. She feels the light on her face. She feels the thrill in her tummy. She slides down faster and faster. She reaches the bottom. She lands in Mom's arms.
+
+"Yay, Anna, you did it!" Mom says. "You're so brave. How was it?"
+
+Anna smiles. She feels proud. She feels happy. She says, "It was fun. Can I do it again?"
+Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Tim. Tim loved to play outside with his ball. One day, while playing, he saw a big tree with many leaves. The leaves were changing colors and starting to fall. Tim thought it was fun to watch the leaves fall.
+
+Tim met a squirrel named Sam. Sam was very busy and persistent. He was trying to keep his nuts safe for the winter. Sam said, "Hi Tim, can you help me keep my nuts safe?" Tim said, "Yes, I can help you, Sam."
+
+Together, Tim and Sam worked hard to keep the nuts safe. They put the nuts in a hole near the tree. As they worked, more leaves continued to fall. Tim and Sam laughed and played in the falling leaves. They were happy to be friends and help each other.
+One day, a bald man named Tom went to the park. He saw a row of ducks in the water. Tom wanted to invite the ducks to play with him. He called out, "Ducks, come play with me!"
+
+But the ducks did not want to play with Tom. They swam away. Tom felt sad. He did not know why the ducks did not want to play with him. He sat down on a bench and thought about it.
+
+Then, a little girl named Sue came up to Tom. She saw that he was sad. Sue said, "I will play with you!" Tom felt happy. They played together all day. In the end, Tom did not need the ducks to have fun. He had a new friend in Sue.
+Once upon a time, there was a big cat who loved to dance. His name was Tom. He danced all day and had lots of fun. One day, he met a little bird named Sue. Sue was sad because she did not know how to dance.
+
+"Hi Sue, why are you sad?" asked Tom. "I want to dance, but I don't know how," said Sue. Tom smiled and said, "I can teach you how to dance, and we can have fun together."
+
+So Tom taught Sue how to dance. They danced and had fun every day. Soon, other animals saw them and wanted to join. At first, some animals were ignorant and did not want to learn. But Tom and Sue showed them that dancing was fun and easy.
+
+As more and more animals joined, they all had fun dancing together. They learned that it was good to try new things and help each other. And they all lived happily, dancing and having fun.
+
+The moral of the story is: Don't be ignorant of new things and always be willing to learn and help others.

+
+One day, Ella and her friends found a big hole in the ground. They were scared and didn't know what to do. Ella thought hard and had an idea. She told her friends to reverse and walk backward. They did what Ella said, and they all moved away from the hole safely.
+
+Ella's friends were happy that she helped them. They learned that even if someone is different, like thin Ella, they can still be smart and helpful. The moral of the story is that we should not judge others by how they look, but by who they are inside.
+Once upon a time, there was a squirrel named Sam. Sam loved to spend his days playing with his friends in the forest. Sam's favorite game was to find nuts and hide them in secret places. He was very good at it.

+Once upon a time, in a big tree, there was a bossy owl. The owl liked to tell all the other animals what to do. The other animals did not like the bossy owl, but they listened to him anyway.
+
+One day, the bossy owl saw a little bird. The little bird was cold. The bossy owl told the little bird to cover up with a warm leaf. The little bird did what the bossy owl said, and the little bird felt better.
+
+The other animals saw what the bossy owl did. They thought, maybe the bossy owl is not so bad after all. From that day on, the animals listened to the bossy owl, and they all lived happily in the big tree.
+Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Tim. Tim had a small, harmless pet named Bob. Bob was a tiny bug. Tim liked to spend time with Bob. They were very good friends.

+
+They played all day long. Tim and Bob had a lot of fun. When it was time to go home, Tim put Bob back in his wallet. They were both tired but happy. Tim knew that spending time with his harmless friend Bob was the best thing ever.

I'm sure grandma will be happy to hear that. And I'm sure she will love your necklace, too. You are a very sweet and generous girl, Anna. I'm proud of you." Anna hugs mom and says, "Thank you, mom. You are the best. I love you." They smile and play with the doll and the purse. They are happy.
+Sam likes to play with his toy truck. He has a big hoop that he can roll on the grass. He wants to load the hoop on his truck and take it to his friend Max.

+
+Then he sees his dog Spot. Spot is running and barking. He sees the hoop and thinks it is a toy. He bites the hoop and drags it with his teeth. He brings it to Sam and wags his tail.

+Ben and Lily were twins. They liked to play together in the house. One day, they saw a big cup of coffee on the table. It was hot and brown and smelled good.
+
+"Look, coffee!" Ben said. "Let's show mom and dad."
+
+"Okay," Lily said. "But be careful. It is hot."
+
+They took the cup of coffee and ran to the bedroom. They wanted to surprise mom and dad. But they did not see the cat on the floor. The cat was hungry and wanted to play.
+
+The cat jumped at Ben and Lily. They tripped and fell. The cup of coffee spilled on them. It burned their skin and clothes. They screamed and cried.
+
+Mom and dad heard the noise and ran to the bedroom. They saw Ben and Lily on the floor. They saw the coffee and the cat. They were angry and scared.
+
+"Oh no, what have you done?" mom said. "You could have hurt yourself and the cat. Why did you take the coffee?"
+
+"We wanted to show you," Ben said. "We are sorry."
+
+Mom and dad hugged Ben and Lily. They took them to the bathroom. They put cold water on their burns. They gave them medicine and bandages. They said they loved them. But they also said they were naughty and had to stay in their room. They said they could not play with the cat or the coffee again.
+
+Ben and Lily felt sad and sore. They wished they had not taken the coffee. They wished they had played with something else. They learned a hard lesson. They hoped mom and dad would forgive them. They hoped the cat would not be hungry anymore.
+Lily and Max liked to play with their toys in the living room. They had many toys, like dolls, cars, blocks, and books. But they did not like to organize their toys after they played. They left them on the floor, on the couch, and on the table.
+
+One day, their mom said, "Lily and Max, you have to organize your toys. They are making a mess. Put them in the boxes and on the shelves, please." Lily and Max did not want to do that. They said, "No, mom, we want to play more. We will do it later."
+
+Their mom was not happy. She said, "No, you have to do it now. If you don't, I will take away your toys and you will not play with them for a week." Lily and Max did not believe her. They thought she was joking. They said, "You are not serious, mom. You are too charming to do that. You love us and our toys."
+
+Their mom said, "I am serious, Lily and Max. I love you, but you have to learn to be tidy and responsible. This is your last chance. Organize your toys or I will take them away." Lily and Max still did not listen. They said, "No, mom, we don't care. We have more fun playing than organizing. Go away and leave us alone."
+
+Their mom was very angry. She said, "Fine, then. You have made your choice. I will take away your toys and you will not play with them for a week. Maybe then you will learn your lesson." She took a big bag and started to put all their toys in it. Lily and Max were shocked. They cried and begged, "No, mom, please, don't do that. We are sorry. We will organize our toys. Please, give them back."
+
+But it was too late. Their mom had already filled the bag with their toys. She said, "I'm sorry, Lily and Max, but you had your chance and you wasted it. You will not see your toys for a week. Maybe next time you will listen to me and organize your toys." She took the bag and went to the garage. She put the bag on a high pole, where Lily and Max could not reach it. She locked the door and left.
+
+Lily and Max were very sad. They had no toys to play with. They had nothing to do. They realized they had made a big mistake. They wished they had organized their toys when their mom asked them. They wished they had not been rude and stubborn. They wished they had not lost their charming toys. They learned their lesson, but it was a bad ending.
+Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play in the woods. They had a cabin there that their dad made for them. It was small and cozy, with a door, a window and a bed.
+
+One day, they found a big scale in the cabin. It was like the one at the doctor's office, but older and rusty. They decided to weigh themselves and see who was heavier.
+
+Anna went first. She stepped on the scale and watched the needle move. It stopped at 30. She was happy. She was a big girl.
+
+Ben went next. He stepped on the scale and watched the needle move. It stopped at 28. He was sad. He was a small boy.
+
+Anna saw Ben's face and felt envious. She wanted him to be happy too. She had an idea. She whispered to him and smiled.
+
+They stepped on the scale together and watched the needle move. It stopped at 58. They were happy. They were a big team.
+
+They hugged each other and ran out of the cabin. They played in the woods until it was time to go home. They loved their cabin and their scale. They loved each other.

+
+She looks for something heavy to put on the paper. She sees a banana on the counter. She thinks it is a good weight. She takes the banana and puts it on the paper. But the banana is soft and squishy. It makes a mess on the paper and the table. It smells bad and looks disgusting.
+
+Sara cries and runs to her mom. She tells her what happened. Her mom hugs her and says it is okay. She says the paper was not for printing, but for something else. She says she will clean the mess and give Sara a new paper. She says she loves Sara and her prints. Sara feels better and says she loves her mom too. She says she will not use the shiny paper again. She says she will only print on the big papers. She says she will make a new rainbow for her mom.
+Tom and Sam are friends. They like to jog near the harbor. The harbor is where big boats and small boats live. They can see the water and the sky and the birds.
+
+One day, they jog to a new place. They see a light on a big tower. The light is very bright and goes on and off. Tom says, "What is that light?"
+
+Sam says, "That is a lighthouse. It helps the boats find their way. It says hello and goodbye to the boats."
+
+Tom says, "That is cool. Can we go closer?"
+
+Sam says, "No, we can't. The lighthouse is not for us. It is for the boats. We have to stay on the path."

+Tom and Sam jog back to the harbor. They wave to the boats and the lighthouse. They are happy and tired. They go home and have a snack. They say, "We had a good jog today."

+
+One day, Lily and her mom went to the park. There was a pond with real ducks. Lily was very excited. She wanted to show Quack to the real ducks. She ran to the edge of the pond and held Quack in the air. "Look, Quack, these are your friends!" she said.
+
+The real ducks saw Lily and Quack. They were curious. They swam closer to Lily and quacked. Lily smiled and quacked back. She thought they were saying hello to her and Quack. She threw some bread crumbs into the water for them. The real ducks ate the bread and thanked Lily with more quacks.
+
+Lily was very happy. She thought the real ducks were very kind. She asked them if they wanted to play with Quack. She tossed Quack into the pond. Quack floated on the water and made a noise. The real ducks were surprised. They thought Quack was a strange duck. They sniffed Quack and nibbled Quack. They did not hurt Quack, but they did not want to play with Quack.
+
+Lily saw that the real ducks did not like Quack. She felt sad. She wanted Quack to have friends. She called Quack back. She reached into the pond and grabbed Quack. She hugged Quack and said, "It's okay, Quack. You are my best friend. I love you." Quack made a noise and Lily smiled. She said goodbye to the real ducks and walked away with her mom.

+Mia and Ben were twins. They liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big puddle in the park. It was after the rain. The puddle was shiny and wet.
+
+"Let's jump in the puddle!" Mia said. She had new boots. They were pink and sparkly. She wanted to make them splash.
+
+"No, Mia, don't do that!" Ben said. He had new boots too. They were blue and shiny. He wanted to keep them clean. "Mom will be mad if we get dirty."
+
+But Mia did not listen. She ran to the puddle and jumped in. She laughed and clapped. The water went up and down. Her boots got wet and muddy.
+
+"Look, Ben, it's fun!" Mia said. She jumped again. "Come on, try it!"
+
+Ben shook his head. He did not want to try it. He stayed away from the puddle. He was afraid of the water. He did not like to get wet.
+
+But then, something happened. A big dog came running. It was brown and furry. It saw the puddle too. It liked to play in the water. It ran to the puddle and jumped in. It barked and wagged. The water went everywhere.
+
+The dog saw Mia and Ben. It wanted to say hello. It ran to them and licked them. It was friendly and happy. But Mia and Ben were not. They screamed and cried. The dog made them wet and dirty.
+
+"Mom, help!" Mia and Ben shouted. They ran to their mom. She was sitting on a bench. She had a book. She looked up and saw them. She was not happy.
+
+"What happened to you?" Mom asked. She saw their boots. They were not new anymore. They were wet and muddy. She saw their clothes. They were wet and muddy too. She saw the dog. It was wet and muddy too. It followed them and wagged.
+
+"Mia jumped in the puddle. And then the dog jumped in the puddle. And then the dog jumped on us. And then we got wet and dirty." Ben said. He pointed at Mia. He was mad at her.
+
+"Mia, why did you do that?" Mom asked. She was mad at Mia too.
+
+"I wanted to have fun. I wanted Ben to try it. But he did not want to. And then the dog came. And then..." Mia said. She started to cry. She was sorry.
+
+Mom sighed. She hugged Mia and Ben. She was not mad anymore. She was sad.
+
+"I know you wanted to have fun. But you should have listened to Ben. And you should have been careful. You ruined your new boots. And you scared the dog. And you made a mess." Mom said. She was gentle.
+
+"I'm sorry, Mom. I'm sorry, Ben. I won't do it again." Mia said. She was sincere.
+
+"I'm sorry, Mom. I'm sorry, Mia. I won't be afraid again." Ben said. He was brave.
+
+Mom smiled. She wiped their faces. She took their hands. She thanked the dog. She took them home. She gave them a bath. She gave them new clothes. She gave them a hug. She gave them a cookie.
+
+She told them a story. It was about a puddle. It was funny and silly. Mia and Ben laughed. They forgot their trouble. They learned their lesson. They loved their mom. They loved each other. They were happy.
+Lily likes to bake with her mom. They make cakes and cookies and pies. Lily helps to mix and pour and decorate. She loves to smell the yummy things in the oven.
+
+One day, Lily and her mom bake a big cake for dad's birthday. They use chocolate and cream and sprinkles. Lily puts a candle on top. She is very proud of the cake. She can't wait to see dad's face.
+
+When dad comes home, Lily and her mom surprise him with the cake. They sing happy birthday and tell him to make a wish. Dad smiles and blows out the candle. He cuts a big piece of cake for himself and a small piece for Lily. He says the cake is delicious and gives Lily and her mom a hug.
+
+Lily is very happy. She eats her piece of cake and thinks it is the best cake ever. She sees dad and mom eat their pieces too. They look happy and full. Lily claps her hands and says, "Yay! We did it! We made a yummy cake for dad!" Dad and mom clap their hands too. They applaud Lily and her mom for their hard work and love. They thank them for the wonderful gift. Lily feels warm and cozy. She loves her family.
+Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play with their toys. One day, they found a big box in front of their house. It had a sticker that said "mail". They wondered what was inside.
+
+"Maybe it is a gift for us!" Ben said.
+
+"Or a surprise!" Lily said.
+
+They ran to the box and opened it. Inside, they saw a lot of blue paper and a small toy car. They were happy and took out the car. But when they touched it, they felt a zap!
+
+"Ow!" Ben cried.
+
+"Ow!" Lily cried.
+
+They dropped the car and looked at it. It had a wire and a battery. It was a trick car that gave a shock!
+
+They were not happy. They felt sad and angry. Who sent them this mean mail?
+
+They looked at the sticker again. It had a name and an address. It was from their cousin Max. He liked to play jokes on them.
+
+They decided to get him back. They put the car back in the box and filled it with more blue paper. Then they wrote a note and stuck it on the box. It said:
+
+"Dear Max,
+
+Thank you for the car. We love it. We want to share it with you. Please come and play with us.
+
+Love,
+
+Ben and Lily"
+
+They asked their mom to mail the box to Max. They smiled and waited for his shock.
+Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play together. One day, they went to the market with their moms. They saw many things to buy, like bread, cheese, and fruit. Lily saw a big, green melon that looked cool and juicy. She wanted to have it for a snack.
+
+She asked her mom, "Can I have the melon, please?" Her mom said, "No, Lily, we have enough food at home. You can have something else later." Lily was sad and angry. She did not listen to her mom. She grabbed the melon and ran away.
+
+Ben saw what Lily did. He knew it was wrong to take something that was not yours. He ran after Lily and said, "Lily, stop! You have to give back the melon. It belongs to the seller. He worked hard to grow it and display it. He needs the money to buy things for his family. If you take the melon, you are stealing and hurting him."
+
+Lily did not want to hear Ben. She said, "Go away, Ben. I don't care. I want the melon. It is cool and yummy. You are not my friend anymore." She kept running until she tripped and fell. The melon rolled out of her hands and broke into pieces. Lily started to cry.
+
+The seller saw what happened. He was angry and sad. He said, "You are a bad girl. You took my melon without paying. You wasted my food and my money. You have to say sorry and pay me back." Lily's mom came and saw what Lily did. She was ashamed and sorry. She said, "I'm so sorry, sir. Lily was wrong to do that. She will apologize and we will pay you for the melon. Lily, you have to learn to be honest and respectful. You have to listen to me and your friends. You have to share and be kind. That is how you make friends and be happy."
+
+Lily realized she made a big mistake. She felt sorry for the seller and for Ben. She said, "I'm sorry, sir. I'm sorry, Ben. I was selfish and rude. I should not have taken the melon. I should have listened to you and my mom. I hope you can forgive me. Can we still be friends?" The seller and Ben smiled and said, "Yes, we can forgive you. We can still be friends. But you have to promise to be good and do better next time." Lily nodded and hugged them. She learned her lesson. She never took anything that was not hers again. She was more honest and respectful. She was happier and had more friends.
+Tom liked to spin. He spun with his arms out, he spun on his chair, he spun with his toy sword. He liked to pretend he was a brave knight, fighting bad guys and dragons. His mom said he should be careful, or he might get dizzy and fall. But Tom did not listen. He liked to spin too much.
+
+One day, Tom went to the park with his mom and his sister. He brought his toy sword with him. He saw a big slide and ran to it. He climbed up the ladder and spun around at the top. He felt very happy and strong. He shouted, "I am the best knight in the world!"
+
+But then, he spun too fast. He lost his balance and slipped. He fell down the slide, bumping and rolling. He dropped his toy sword on the way. He landed on the ground with a thud. He felt very sad and hurt. He cried, "Ow, ow, ow!"
+
+His mom and his sister ran to him. They hugged him and checked if he was okay. He had some scratches and bruises, but nothing serious. His mom said, "I told you to be careful, Tom. Spinning is fun, but not too much. You could have hurt yourself or someone else."
+
+Tom nodded. He was sorry he did not listen. He looked for his toy sword, but he could not find it. He asked, "Where is my sword, mom?"
+
+His mom pointed to a tree. Tom saw his toy sword stuck on a branch. He also saw a big lemon hanging next to it. He wondered how it got there. He said, "Can I have my sword back, mom?"
+
+His mom said, "Yes, but you have to do something first. You have to eat that lemon."
+
+Tom made a face. He did not like lemons. They were sour and yucky. He said, "But mom, I don't want to eat the lemon."
+
+His mom said, "It's a deal, Tom. If you want your sword back, you have to eat the lemon. It will teach you a lesson. Spinning too much can make you sick, just like eating too much sour things. Do you understand?"
+
+Tom nodded. He did not want to eat the lemon, but he wanted his sword more. He climbed the tree and picked the lemon. He took a bite and made a funny face. He said, "Blech, blech, blech!"
+
+His mom and his sister laughed. They said, "That's what you get for spinning too much, Tom. Maybe next time, you will be more careful."
+
+Tom agreed. He learned his lesson. He got his sword back and put it in his pocket. He said, "I'm sorry, mom. I won't spin too much anymore. I will be a good knight."
+
+His mom smiled and kissed him. She said, "That's good, Tom. I love you. Now, let's go home and have some ice cream. How does that sound?"
+
+Tom smiled and said, "That sounds great, mom. I love you too. And I love ice cream. But not lemons. They are too sour."
+Lily liked to eat celery. She liked how it was light and crunchy. She liked to dip it in cheese or peanut butter. She liked to share it with her bunny, Flop.
+
+One day, Lily found a big bunch of celery in the fridge. She wanted to eat some, but she also wanted to play with it. She took one stick and pretended it was a sword. She waved it around and made noises. She took another stick and pretended it was a microphone. She sang a song and danced.
+
+But then, she saw her brother, Max. He was playing with his cars on the floor. He did not like celery. He thought it was yucky and boring. He saw Lily with her celery and got angry. He wanted to play with his cars alone. He did not want Lily to bother him.
+
+He got up and ran to Lily. He grabbed her celery sword and broke it in half. He threw it on the floor. He said, "Go away, Lily! Celery is stupid! You are stupid!"
+
+Lily felt sad and mad. She did not like Max. He was mean and rude. She wanted her celery back. She wanted to play with it. She wanted to have fun.
+
+She picked up her celery microphone and slapped Max on the face. She said, "No, Max! You are stupid! You are mean! Celery is good! You are bad!"
+
+Max felt shocked and hurt. He did not like Lily. She was loud and bossy. She wanted to play with her celery. She wanted to hit him.
+
+He started to cry and scream. He said, "Mommy, mommy! Lily slapped me! She slapped me with celery! She is bad! She is bad!"
+
+Mommy heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw Max crying and Lily holding celery. She saw the broken celery on the floor. She felt confused and tired. She did not like the mess. She did not like the fight.
+
+She said, "Lily, Max, what is going on? Why are you fighting? Why are you slapping? Why are you wasting celery?"
+
+Lily and Max looked at mommy. They felt sorry and scared. They did not want to make mommy angry. They did not want to get in trouble.
+
+They said, "Sorry, mommy. Sorry, mommy. We were playing. We were playing with celery. We did not mean to fight. We did not mean to slap. We did not mean to waste celery."
+
+Mommy sighed and smiled. She said, "It's okay, Lily. It's okay, Max. I know you were playing. But you have to be nice to each other. You have to share and take turns. You have to use your words, not your hands. And you have to eat your celery, not play with it. Celery is good for you. It makes you strong and healthy. Do you understand?"
+
+Lily and Max nodded and hugged. They said, "Yes, mommy. We understand. We love you, mommy. We love celery, mommy."
+
+Mommy hugged them back and said, "I love you, too, Lily. I love you, too, Max. I love celery, too. Now, let's go and wash your faces and hands. And then, let's have some celery and cheese for a snack. How does that sound?"
+
+Lily and Max smiled and said, "That sounds good, mommy. That sounds very good."
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, they find a big book with many stories. They want to read it together.
+
+"Let's see what stories are in this book," Anna says. She opens the book and looks at the pictures. "Look, Ben, here is a story about a princess and a dragon. Do you want to read it?"
+
+"Yes, I do," Ben says. He tries to take the book from Anna. But he is clumsy and he pulls too hard. The book falls from their hands and lands on the floor. Some pages tear and some pictures get dirty.
+
+"Oh no!" Anna and Ben say. They look at the book and feel sad. They love stories and they do not want to ruin the book.
+
+They hear a voice behind them. It is Mom. She saw what happened. She sighs and shakes her head. "What did you do, Anna and Ben?" she asks. "You were not careful with the book. You have to be gentle with books. They are precious and they have many stories to tell."
+
+"We are sorry, Mom," Anna and Ben say. They pick up the book and give it to Mom. "We did not mean to hurt the book. We just wanted to read the stories."
+
+Mom smiles and hugs them. "I know, my dears," she says. "I am glad you like stories. But you have to respect the book and share it nicely. How about I read you a story from the book? Maybe we can fix the pages later."
+
+"Okay, Mom," Anna and Ben say. They sit on the couch with Mom and listen to her read. They forget about the torn pages and the dirty pictures. They enjoy the story and learn something new. They are happy.
+Lily liked to play outside when the sun was bright. She liked to see her shadow on the ground. It was like a friend who followed her everywhere. Sometimes she pretended her shadow was a dog or a bird or a fairy.
+
+One day, Lily saw a big cloud in the sky. It covered the sun and made everything dark. Lily felt scared. She could not see her shadow anymore. Where did it go? She looked around and saw nothing but gray. She wanted to go home.
+
+She ran to the door and tried to open it. But it was locked. Mommy and Daddy were not home yet. They were at work. Lily started to cry. She felt alone and cold. She wished she had her shadow back.
+
+Then she heard a soft sound. It was her teddy bear. He was on the porch, next to a flower pot. Lily had left him there this morning. She forgot to take him inside. She ran to him and picked him up. He was wet and dirty, but he was still her teddy bear. She hugged him tight and felt his fur. He was warm and soft and comfortable.
+
+She held him close and whispered in his ear. "Don't worry, Teddy. I'm here. You're my shadow now. We'll be okay." She smiled and felt better. She sat down on the porch and waited for Mommy and Daddy to come home. She knew they would soon. She had her teddy bear and her shadow. She was not alone.
+Lila liked to soar in the sky. She had a job as a bird. She had large wings and a long tail. She flew with her friends and sang songs. She saw many things from up high.
+
+One day, she saw a big cloud. It was white and fluffy. She wanted to touch it. She soared higher and higher. She felt the wind on her face. She reached the cloud and went inside.
+
+It was cold and wet. She could not see anything. She could not hear her friends. She was scared. She wanted to go back. She tried to find the way out.
+
+She saw a bright light. It was the sun. She soared towards it. She came out of the cloud. She saw the blue sky and the green land. She saw her friends. They were happy to see her. They hugged her and asked her what she saw.
+
+She told them about the cloud. She said it was not fun. She said she liked to soar in the sky, but not in the clouds. She said she liked her job as a bird. She said she was glad to be with her friends. They nodded and smiled. They soared together and sang songs. They were happy.
+Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big dog with a bandage on his leg. He looked sad and lonely.
+
+"Let's go and say hello to the dog," Lily said. "Maybe he wants to play with us."
+
+Ben was scared. He thought the dog was fierce and would bite them. He said, "No, Lily, we should stay away from the dog. He might be angry and hurt us."
+
+Lily did not listen to Ben. She walked slowly to the dog and smiled. She said, "Hi, doggy, what is your name? Why do you have a bandage on your leg?"
+
+The dog wagged his tail and licked Lily's hand. He was happy to see her. He said, "Woof, woof, my name is Max. I have a bandage on my leg because I was hit by a car. It hurts a lot, but the vet said I will get better soon."
+
+Lily felt sorry for Max. She said, "I'm sorry, Max, that sounds very painful. You are very brave. Do you want to play with us?"
+
+Max nodded and said, "Woof, woof, yes, I would love to play with you. You are very kind and friendly."
+
+Ben saw that Max was not fierce at all. He realized that he was wrong to judge him by his looks. He said, "I'm sorry, Max, I was afraid of you. You are a good dog. Can I play with you too?"
+
+Max said, "Woof, woof, of course, you can play with me too. You are a good boy. Come on, let's have some fun."
+
+Ben and Lily played with Max for a long time. They had a lot of fun. They learned that they should not be afraid of someone who is different from them. They learned that they should be kind and compassionate to someone who is in pain. They learned that they can make new friends if they are open and curious. They learned a valuable lesson that day.
+Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play with pens and paper. They drew many things, like cats, cars, and stars. But Lily was bossy and always wanted to use the best pens and the most paper. Ben was sad and tried to share, but Lily said no.
+
+One day, they found a big bottle of ink in their dad's office. Lily wanted to use it to make a big picture. She told Ben to crawl under the desk and get it for her. Ben was scared, but he did what Lily said. He crawled under the desk and reached for the bottle.
+
+But the bottle was heavy and slippery. Ben dropped it and it broke. Ink spilled everywhere, on the floor, on the desk, on the papers, and on Ben. Ben cried and tried to crawl out, but he was stuck. Lily saw the mess and got angry. She yelled at Ben and said it was his fault. She did not help him.
+
+Their dad heard the noise and came to see what happened. He saw the ink and the broken bottle and Ben under the desk. He was very mad and shouted at Lily and Ben. He said they were naughty and careless. He said they had to clean up the mess and go to bed without dinner. Lily and Ben felt sorry and ashamed. They wished they had not played with the ink. They wished Lily had not been so bossy. They wished they had been nice to each other.
+Lily and Tom were playing with blocks. They liked to make patterns with different colors and shapes. Lily made a pattern of red and blue squares. Tom made a pattern of yellow and green circles.
+
+"Look at my pattern!" Lily said. "It is very pretty."
+
+"Mine is pretty too!" Tom said. "But I want to make it bigger."
+
+Tom reached for more blocks, but he knocked over Lily's pattern by mistake. The blocks fell down and mixed up.
+
+"Tom, you spoiled my pattern!" Lily cried. "Now it is all rough and messy!"
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily!" Tom said. "I didn't mean to spoil it. Can we fix it together?"
+
+Lily was angry and sad. She didn't want to play with Tom anymore. She picked up her blocks and moved away.
+
+"Please, Lily, don't be mad at me!" Tom said. "I like your pattern. It was very pretty. Can we be friends again?"
+
+Lily looked at Tom. He looked sorry and sad too. She remembered that Tom was her friend and that he liked to play with her. She felt sorry for him too.
+
+"Okay, Tom, we can be friends again." Lily said. "But you have to be careful with my blocks. They are not rough. They are smooth and nice."
+
+"Okay, Lily, I will be careful." Tom said. "Thank you for being my friend. Can we make a new pattern together?"
+
+"Yes, Tom, we can make a new pattern together." Lily said. "But this time, let's use all the colors and shapes. That will be more fun."
+
+Lily and Tom smiled and hugged. Then they started to make a new pattern with their blocks. They were happy and had fun.
+Ben and Mia were adventurous kids. They liked to explore the big park near their home. One day, they saw a sign that said "Do not enter". The sign had a picture of a snake and a skull. Ben and Mia were curious. They wanted to see what was behind the sign.
+
+They ignored the sign and walked into the bushes. They found a big tree with a long vine hanging from it. Ben had an idea. He said to Mia, "Let's swing on the vine. It will be fun." Mia was scared. She said, "No, Ben. The sign said do not enter. Maybe there are snakes or other bad things here. Let's go back." But Ben did not listen. He grabbed the vine and jumped off the ground.
+
+He swung on the vine like a monkey. He felt happy and brave. He shouted, "Whee! Look at me, Mia! I'm Tarzan!" Mia watched him with worry. She said, "Ben, be careful. The vine might break. Come back, please." But Ben did not hear her. He swung higher and higher.
+
+Suddenly, he heard a hiss. He looked up and saw a big snake on the tree. The snake was angry. It had red eyes and sharp teeth. It coiled around the vine and bit Ben on the arm. Ben screamed. He let go of the vine and fell to the ground. Mia ran to him. She saw blood on his arm. She cried, "Ben, Ben, are you okay?"
+
+But Ben was not okay. He felt dizzy and sick. He said, "Mia, I'm sorry. I should have listened to you. I should have obeyed the sign." He closed his eyes and did not move. Mia was alone and afraid. She did not know what to do. She wished they had never entered the bushes. She wished they had never seen the vine. She wished they had never been adventurous.
+Sara likes to study. She likes to look at books and learn new things. She has many books in her room. Some are big and some are small. Some have pictures and some have words.
+
+One day, Sara finds a new book on her bed. It is a big book with a red cover. It has a picture of a lion on it. Sara loves lions. She wants to study the book and learn about lions. She opens the book and sees many pages with words and pictures.
+
+Sara tries to read the words, but they are hard. She does not know some of the words. She asks her mom to help her. Her mom is busy in the kitchen. She says, "Sara, I will help you later. Why don't you look at the pictures for now? Here is a tip: you can use your finger to follow the words and sound them out. Maybe you will learn some new words by yourself."
+
+Sara says, "Okay, mom. I will try." She goes back to her room and looks at the book. She uses her finger to follow the words and sound them out. She learns some new words, like "mane", "pride" and "hunt". She feels happy and proud.
+
+But the book is very big and heavy. Sara gets tired of holding it. She puts it on her lap and leans back on her pillow. She does not see that the book is on the edge of the bed. She does not see that the book is about to fall.
+
+The book falls off the bed and lands on the floor with a loud thud. Sara jumps and screams. She looks at the book and sees that the cover is torn and the pages are bent. She feels sad and sorry. She says, "Oh no! I broke the book! Mom will be mad at me!"
+
+She runs to the kitchen and tells her mom what happened. Her mom is not mad at her. She hugs her and says, "Sara, it's okay. You did not mean to break the book. You were just studying and learning. I'm proud of you for trying to read by yourself. The book is not broken. It is just weak. We can fix it with some tape and glue. Come on, let's go and fix the book together."
+Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play with their toys in their room. But sometimes they fight over the same toy. Today they both want the big white bear.
+
+Tom says, "I saw the bear first. It is mine. Give it to me."
+
+Lily says, "No, I like the bear too. It is soft and cuddly. You can have another toy."
+
+Tom and Lily pull the bear from each other. They are angry and loud. Their mom hears them and comes to their room.
+
+Mom says, "What is going on here? Why are you fighting over the bear?"
+
+Tom and Lily both say, "The bear is mine. I want it."
+
+Mom says, "You can't both have the bear. You have to share. How about you take turns? Tom can have the bear for ten minutes, then Lily can have it for ten minutes. Is that fair?"
+
+Tom and Lily think for a moment. They don't like to share, but they don't want to make mom sad. They nod and say, "Okay, mom. We will try."
+
+Mom says, "Good. I will set the timer. Tom, you can have the bear first. Lily, you can choose another toy to play with. When you hear the beep, you have to switch. Can you do that?"
+
+Tom and Lily say, "Yes, mom. We can do that."
+
+Mom smiles and gives them a hug. She says, "I love you both. You are good twins. Have fun and be nice to each other."
+
+Tom and Lily hug mom back. They say, "We love you too, mom. Thank you for helping us."

+Mom leaves the room. Tom takes the big white bear and hugs it. Lily picks a yellow duck and squeaks it. They play quietly and happily. They listen for the beep. They are ready to share.
+Lila and Tom were restless. They did not want to stay in the hut with their mom and dad. They wanted to go out and play. But it was dark and cold outside. Mom and dad said it was not safe.
+
+Lila and Tom had an idea. They found a big blanket and split it in two. They wrapped themselves in the blanket pieces and pretended they were cloaks. They said they were brave knights going on a quest.
+
+They sneaked out of the hut and ran to the woods. They saw a big tree with a hole in it. They said it was a castle. They went inside and played with sticks and stones. They had fun.
+
+But then they heard a loud roar. It was a bear. The bear was hungry and angry. It smelled Lila and Tom in the tree. It came closer and closer. Lila and Tom were scared. They dropped their sticks and stones and ran out of the tree.
+
+They ran back to the hut as fast as they could. They saw mom and dad waiting for them. They were worried and angry. They hugged Lila and Tom and scolded them. They said they should never go out alone at night. They said they were sorry.
+
+Lila and Tom learned their lesson. They said they would not do it again. They gave back the blanket pieces and went to bed. They were not restless anymore. They were tired and happy. They slept well.
+Sara did not like the alarm. It was loud and scary. It made her wake up when she wanted to sleep. She wanted to turn it off, but it was too high for her. She felt helpless.
+
+She saw her big brother Tom in his bed. He was still sleeping. He did not hear the alarm. She wanted to wake him up, but she did not know how. She tried to shake him, but he did not move. She tried to yell, but he did not hear. She felt helpless.
+
+She saw her mom in the door. She was smiling. She had a toy in her hand. She said, "Good morning, Sara. Do you want to play with this?" Sara nodded. She liked the toy. It was a train. She wanted to play with it. She felt happy.
+
+Mom said, "Let's go to the kitchen. I have some pancakes for you. Do you like pancakes?" Sara nodded. She liked pancakes. They were yummy. She wanted to eat them. She felt hungry.
+
+Mom said, "But first, we have to turn off the alarm. Can you help me?" Sara nodded. She wanted to help. She felt brave. Mom lifted her up. She reached the alarm. She pushed the button. The alarm stopped. She felt proud.
+
+Mom said, "Good job, Sara. You are a big girl. You can do many things. I love you." Sara hugged her mom. She said, "I love you too, Mom. Thank you for the toy and the pancakes." Mom kissed her cheek. They went to the kitchen. They had a good day.
+Lily was in bed, but she could not sleep. She heard a buzz near her ear. It was a mosquito. The mosquito wanted to bite Lily and drink her blood. That would hurt Lily and make her itch.
+
+Lily did not like the mosquito. She wanted it to go away. She tried to swat it with her hand, but she missed. The mosquito was fast and sneaky. It flew around Lily's head and waited for a chance to bite her.
+
+Lily was scared and angry. She wished she had a net to cover her bed. Then the mosquito could not get in. But her mom did not allow her to have a net. She said it was too hot and stuffy. She said Lily had to be brave and ignore the mosquito.
+
+Lily did not think that was fair. She did not want to be brave. She wanted to be safe and comfortable. She wanted the mosquito to leave her alone. She started to cry softly. She hoped her mom would hear her and come to help her.
+
+But her mom did not hear her. She was asleep in her own room. She did not know that Lily was unhappy and afraid. She did not know that the mosquito was still buzzing and biting. She did not know that Lily needed a hug and a kiss. She did not know that Lily wished she would allow her to have a net.
+Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play chess. Chess is a game with black and white pieces. You have to move the pieces to win.
+
+One day, Tom and Sam are playing chess in their room. Tom is winning. He is happy. Sam is losing. He is angry. He does not like to lose.
+
+Sam sees a banana peel on the floor. He has an idea. He throws the peel behind Tom. He hopes Tom will step on it and fall.
+
+Tom does not see the peel. He gets up to get a drink. He steps on the peel. He slips and falls. He hits his head on the table. He cries.
+
+Sam laughs. He thinks it is funny. He says, "Ha ha, you fall! I win!"
+
+Mom hears the noise. She runs to the room. She sees Tom on the floor and Sam on the bed. She sees the peel and the chess pieces.
+
+Mom is angry. She says, "Sam, what did you do? That is not nice. That is mean. You hurt your brother. You made a mess. You are a bad boy."
+
+Sam is scared. He says, "I'm sorry, Mom. I was mad. I wanted to win."
+
+Mom says, "Winning is not everything. Playing fair is more important. You should not cheat. You should not hurt others. You should be kind. You should say sorry to Tom."
+
+Sam feels bad. He says, "I'm sorry, Tom. I was wrong. Are you okay?"
+
+Tom says, "I'm okay. It hurts a little. I forgive you. But don't do that again. That was disgusting."
+
+Sam says, "I won't. I promise. Can we play chess again?"
+
+Tom says, "Yes, but only if you play nice."
+
+Mom says, "That's good. I'm proud of you. You learned your lesson. Now, clean up this mess and hug each other."

+The end.
+Anna and Ben went to the museum with their mom. They saw many things, like big bones, old pots, and shiny rocks. Anna liked the bones best. She wanted to learn more about them. Ben liked the pots best. He wanted to touch them.
+
+"Ben, don't touch the pots!" mom said. "They are very old and can break. Look with your eyes, not with your hands."
+
+But Ben did not listen. He was naughty. He reached out his hand and touched a pot. He felt something move inside. He pulled out a snake.
+
+"Aaah!" Ben screamed. He dropped the snake and the pot. The snake slithered away. The pot smashed on the floor.
+
+"Ben, what have you done?" mom said. She was angry and scared. "You have to say sorry to the museum people. You have to be careful with the things here. They are not toys."
+
+Anna saw what happened. She felt sorry for Ben, but she also wanted to tease him. She said, "Ben, you are silly. You should not touch the pots. You should not touch the snakes. You should listen to mom. Now you are in trouble."
+
+Ben felt bad. He did not like the snake. He did not like the broken pot. He did not like Anna's words. He said, "Anna, you are mean. You should not tease me. You should help me. You should be nice to me. We are brother and sister."
+
+Mom heard them. She said, "Anna, Ben, stop fighting. You are both wrong. Ben, you should not touch the things in the museum. You should follow the rules. Anna, you should not tease Ben. You should be kind and gentle. You should say sorry to each other."

+
+Mom said, "It's okay. I love you both. But we have to leave the museum now. We have to go home. Maybe we can come back another day, when you are more careful and respectful."
+
+Anna and Ben nodded. They said, "Okay, mom. We will be better next time. We still like the museum. We still want to learn more."
+
+They left the museum. They held mom's hand. They saw the snake in the grass. They did not touch it. They did not tease it. They said, "Bye, snake. Be good."
+Lily liked to play in the sand near the water. She made castles and bridges and tunnels with her bucket and shovel. One day, she saw something shiny in the water. She went closer and saw a big octopus. It had eight arms and many suckers. It looked at her with big eyes.
+
+Lily was not afraid. She said hello to the octopus. The octopus said hello back. It was a friendly octopus. It told Lily its name was Ollie. Lily and Ollie became friends. They talked and played and laughed.
+
+Ollie told Lily he was weak. He had hurt one of his arms in a fight with a shark. He could not swim fast or catch food. He was hungry and sad. Lily wanted to help Ollie. She believed she could make him better.
+
+She ran to her mom and dad. She told them about Ollie. They did not believe her. They said octopuses do not talk. They said she had a big imagination. They said she should not go near the water alone.
+
+Lily was sad. She knew Ollie was real. She knew he needed her. She took some bread and cheese from her lunch. She ran back to the water. She gave the food to Ollie. He ate it and smiled. He thanked Lily. He said she was a good friend. He said he felt stronger.
+

+Anna likes to read stories. She has many books with stories in her room. She reads them every day. She likes stories with animals, princesses, and magic.
+
+One day, Anna goes to the library with her mom. She sees a big book with a picture of a dragon on the cover. She wants to read that story. She asks her mom if she can take the book home. Her mom says yes.
+
+But when Anna reaches for the book, another boy grabs it first. He says it is his book. He says he saw it first. He says Anna cannot have it. He is very rude.
+
+Anna feels sad and angry. She wants to read the dragon story. She says the boy is not nice. She says he should share the book. Her mom says she is right.
+
+The boy's mom hears them. She comes over and sees what is happening. She tells the boy to give the book to Anna. She says he can find another story. She says he was rude to Anna. She says he should say sorry.
+
+The boy does not want to give the book. He does not want to say sorry. He cries and makes a fuss. But his mom makes him do it. She takes the book from him and gives it to Anna. She tells Anna she can take the book home. She tells Anna she hopes she enjoys the story.
+
+Anna smiles and says thank you. She hugs the book and looks at the dragon. She is happy. She says sorry to the boy for making him cry. She says maybe they can read the story together sometime. She says maybe they can be friends.
+
+The boy stops crying. He looks at Anna and the book. He feels a little sorry too. He says okay. He says maybe the story is good. He says maybe they can be friends. He says sorry to Anna for being rude.

She says her salad is the best. Mom agrees and gives her a hug. Anna is happy and full. She helps mom clear the table and wash the dishes. She loves to help her mom prepare dinner.
+Anna and Ben were on the subway with their mom. They liked to look out the window and see the lights and tunnels. Sometimes they saw other trains and people. They waved to them and smiled.
+
+One day, the subway stopped in the middle of a tunnel. The lights went off and it was dark and quiet. Anna and Ben were scared. They hugged their mom and asked what was wrong.
+
+Mom said, "Don't worry, my loves. The subway is broken, but someone will come and fix it soon. We just have to wait and be brave."
+
+Anna and Ben nodded, but they still felt nervous. They heard some noises outside the subway. They sounded like tools and voices. They wondered who they were.
+
+Then, they saw a bright light and a big hole in the wall. A man in a yellow suit and a helmet came in. He had a flashlight and a radio. He said, "Hello, everyone. I'm here to rescue you. Follow me to the other side. There's another subway waiting for you."
+
+Anna and Ben were amazed. They thought the man was very impressive. He was strong and brave and kind. They followed him and their mom to the hole. They saw more people in yellow suits and helmets. They helped them get on the other subway. They thanked them and waved goodbye.
+
+The new subway took them to their destination. Anna and Ben were happy and relieved. They told their mom how much they liked the rescue man. Mom said, "Me too. He was a hero. He saved us from the dark and the scary. He made us feel safe and hopeful."
+
+Anna and Ben agreed. They said, "We want to be like him when we grow up. We want to rescue people and make them happy." Mom smiled and hugged them. She said, "You can be anything you want, my loves. You are already impressive to me."
+Tom and Lily were twins who loved to explore. One day, they found a big box in the attic. It was full of old things that belonged to their grandpa. They saw books, toys, clothes, and a shiny metal can.
+
+"What is this?" Tom asked, holding the can.
+
+"Maybe it has food inside," Lily said. "Let's open it and see."
+
+They used a tool to pry open the can. Inside, they saw a brown block wrapped in paper. It smelled sweet and yummy.
+
+"Wow, it's chocolate!" Tom exclaimed. "Grandpa must have saved it for a long time. Let's taste it."
+
+He tore off a piece of the paper and bit into the chocolate. He made a face and spat it out.
+
+"Yuck, it's bad!" he cried. "It's hard and bitter and dusty. It hurts my teeth and tongue."
+
+Lily looked at the paper and saw some words. She could not read them, but she recognized the numbers. It said 1945.
+
+"Tom, this chocolate is ancient!" she said. "It's older than grandpa. It's not good to eat. We should throw it away."
+
+But it was too late. Tom felt sick in his stomach. He clutched his belly and moaned. He had eaten too much of the old chocolate. He needed a doctor.
+
+Lily ran to get their mom. She was scared and sorry. She wished they had not opened the can. She wished they had not tasted the chocolate. She wished they had listened to grandpa, who always told them not to touch his things.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the office. They saw a big box with many papers inside. They wanted to see what was in the papers.
+
+"Look, Lily, this paper has a picture of a cake!" Tom said.
+
+"Yummy, I like cake!" Lily said.
+
+They took the paper out of the box and looked at it. It was a file with a recipe for a chocolate cake. They saw words like flour, sugar, eggs, butter, and cocoa.
+
+"Let's make this cake, Tom!" Lily said.
+
+"OK, but how?" Tom said.
+
+They looked around the office and saw a microwave, a bowl, a spoon, and a cup. They thought they could use them to make the cake.
+
+They put some flour, sugar, eggs, butter, and cocoa in the bowl. They did not know how much to put. They mixed them with the spoon. They poured the mixture in the cup. They put the cup in the microwave. They pressed some buttons. They did not know how long to cook it.
+
+They waited for a while. They heard a loud beep. They opened the microwave. They saw a big mess. The cup had exploded. The mixture had spilled everywhere. It was burnt and smelly.
+
+"Uh-oh, what did we do?" Tom said.
+
+They heard footsteps. They saw their mom coming. She looked angry.
+
+"What are you doing here? What is this mess?" she said.
+
+"We wanted to make a cake, mom!" Lily said.
+
+"A cake? This is not a cake! This is a file from my work! You ruined it! And you made a huge mess in the microwave! How could you be so careless and naughty?" she said.
+
+She took the file and the bowl from them. She threw them in the trash. She scolded them and sent them to their room. They felt sad and sorry. They wished they had not played with the file. They wished they had not tried to make a cake. They wished they had listened to their mom.
+Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play and make noise. They also liked to eat yummy food, but they did not like to help Mommy in the kitchen. One day, Mommy told them to prepare for lunch. She said, "You can help me by setting the table. Put a napkin on each plate, and a fork and a spoon next to it. Then you can sit down and wait for me to bring the food."
+
+Lily and Ben nodded, but they did not do what Mommy said. Instead, they ran to their room and took out their toys. They played with their cars and dolls, and made a big mess. They forgot about lunch and Mommy.
+
+Mommy was busy cooking in the kitchen. She made soup and sandwiches, and salad and fruit. She put everything on a big tray, and carried it to the dining room. She was surprised to see that the table was empty. There were no napkins, no forks, no spoons, no plates. She looked around and saw Lily and Ben's toys on the floor. She was angry and sad. She said, "Lily and Ben, where are you? You were very naughty. You did not help me at all. You did not prepare for lunch. You made a big mess. You have to come here right now and clean up."
+
+Lily and Ben heard Mommy's voice. They knew they were in trouble. They dropped their toys and ran to the dining room. They saw Mommy's face and the tray of food. They felt sorry and hungry. They said, "We are sorry, Mommy. We were having fun and we forgot. We will help you now. We will set the table and clean up. We will be good."
+
+Mommy sighed and smiled. She said, "Thank you, Lily and Ben. I appreciate your help. I know you like to play, but you also have to listen and do your chores. Now, let's eat our lunch and enjoy our food. And after that, you have to take a nap. You need some rest after being so naughty."
+Anna and Ben like to play on the sand near the sea. They make castles and bridges and tunnels with their buckets and spades. They have fun and laugh a lot.
+
+But sometimes the sea gets bigger and comes closer to the sand. The sea wants to play too, but it is not very tidy. It knocks down the castles and bridges and tunnels and makes them wet and messy. Anna and Ben do not like that.
+
+One day, they see the sea is very big and very close. It is going to increase and take their sand away. They are scared and sad. They do not want to lose their sand and their toys.
+
+They run to their mum and dad, who are sitting on a blanket. They tell them about the sea and ask them to help. Mum and dad hug them and explain that the sea changes every day. Sometimes it is small and far, and sometimes it is big and near. They say it is called the tide, and it is natural and normal.
+
+They also say that they can still play on the sand, but they have to be careful and watch the sea. They have to move their toys and their blanket when the sea increases, and they can make new castles and bridges and tunnels when the sea decreases. They say it is like a game, and they can learn and have fun.
+
+Anna and Ben feel better and understand. They thank their mum and dad and go back to the sand. They look at the sea and smile. They are not scared or sad anymore. They are ready to play and learn. They are tidy and smart.
+Tom and Lily are twins. They like to play together and share their toys. But one day, they have a big fight. Tom wants to play with the red car, and Lily wants to play with the doll. They both say, "Mine! Mine!" and pull the toys hard.
+
+"Stop it!" Mom says. "You are hurting each other and the toys. You need to learn to share and be kind. If you can't, I will call a lawyer to help you."
+
+Tom and Lily are scared. They don't know what a lawyer is, but it sounds bad. They don't want Mom to call a lawyer. They want Mom to hug them and read them a story.
+
+"Mom, we are sorry," Tom says. "We don't want a lawyer. We want to play together and be happy."
+
+"Me too," Lily says. "Can we have a hug and a story, please?"
+
+Mom smiles. She is happy that Tom and Lily are sorry and want to unite. She is a compassionate mom. She hugs them and says, "Of course, my loves. I'm glad you are friends again. A lawyer is someone who helps people who have problems and need to follow the rules. But you don't need a lawyer, because you can solve your problems by talking and sharing. Now, let's read a story about a lawyer who is also compassionate and helps people who are in trouble."
+Timmy was a little boy who loved to play with his toy cars. He had many cars of different colors and sizes, and he liked to make them zoom and crash on the floor. One day, he found a very old car in his grandpa's attic. It was dusty and rusty, and it had a broken wheel. But Timmy thought it was adorable, and he wanted to restore it and make it new again.
+
+He took the old car to his room and tried to fix it with glue and tape. He also painted it with his crayons and stickers. He was very proud of his work, and he showed it to his mom and dad. They smiled and said it was very nice, but they also told him to be careful with the old car, because it might have sharp edges or germs.
+
+Timmy did not listen to them. He played with the old car every day, and he did not wash his hands after touching it. He also put it in his mouth sometimes, because he liked the taste of the metal. He did not know that the old car was very dirty and dangerous, and that it could make him sick.
+
+One morning, Timmy woke up feeling very bad. He had a fever and a sore throat, and he could not breathe well. His mom and dad were very worried, and they took him to the hospital. The doctor said that Timmy had a bad infection from the old car, and that he needed a lot of medicine and rest. He also said that the old car had to be thrown away, because it was too harmful.
+
+Timmy was very sad and scared. He did not want to stay in the hospital, and he did not want to lose his old car. He cried and begged his mom and dad to let him keep it, but they said no. They said that the old car was not worth his health, and that they would buy him a new car when he got better. But Timmy did not get better. He got worse and worse, and the medicine did not help him. He died in the hospital, holding his old car in his hand. His mom and dad were very sad, and they wished they had stopped him from playing with the old car. They buried him with his old car, and they never forgot him. The end.
+Lily liked to play with her toys. She had many toys in her room. She had dolls, cars, books, and a guitar. The guitar was her favorite toy. She liked to make music with it.
+
+One day, Lily's mom said, "Lily, it is time to tidy your room. You have too many toys on the floor. You need to put them away in the box." Lily did not want to tidy her room. She wanted to play with her guitar.
+
+Lily's mom said, "You can play with your guitar later. But first, you need to choose some toys to give away. You have too many toys. Some other children would be happy to have them." Lily did not want to give away her toys. She liked all her toys.
+
+Lily's mom said, "You can keep some toys, but not all of them. You need to make space in your room. Look, here is a big bag. You can put the toys you want to give away in the bag. Then we can take them to the charity shop." Lily looked at the bag. She looked at her toys. She did not know what to do.
+
+Lily's mom said, "I will help you. Let's start with the dolls. Do you want to keep all the dolls?" Lily shook her head. She said, "No, I only want to keep this one. She is my best friend." She hugged a doll with a pink dress. Lily's mom said, "Okay, you can keep that one. What about the others?" Lily put the other dolls in the bag. She said, "Bye, dolls. I hope you find a new home."
+
+Lily and her mom did the same with the cars, the books, and the other toys. Lily kept some toys, and put some toys in the bag. She felt sad, but also proud. She was helping other children. She was making her room tidy. She was being a good girl.
+
+When they finished, Lily's mom said, "Well done, Lily. You did a great job. You are very generous and kind. Now you have more space in your room. And you can still play with your favorite toys. Like your guitar." Lily smiled. She said, "Yes, I love my guitar. Can I play with it now?" Lily's mom said, "Of course you can. You deserve it. Let's hear some music." Lily picked up her guitar. She strummed the strings. She sang a song. She was happy.

+
+She gave her wiggler to her mom. Her mom held it gently in her hand. She felt it move and heard it squeak. She laughed and said, "It does wiggle and tickle. It's very cute. You know what, Anna?

+Anna smiled and said, "Thank you, mom. I like insects. They are different and fun. Can I make more?"

+One day, they saw something new on the sand. It was round and clear and had long strings. Lily wanted to touch it, but Sam said no.

+
+She reached out her hand to touch it, but before she could, she heard a loud voice.

+
+Lily shook her head. She was scared and sorry. She did not want to make Dad angry or get hurt.
+
+Dad hugged her and said, "I'm glad you're okay, Lily. But you have to listen to me and Sam. Jellyfish are not toys. They are animals that live in the water. Sometimes they come to the shore, but we have to leave them alone. They can sting us and make us sick. Do you understand?"
+
+Lily nodded. She said, "I'm sorry, Dad. I won't touch the jellyfish again. I will sit with you and Mom and Sam and play with the sand and the water."
+
+Dad smiled and said, "That's a good girl. I love you, Lily. Now let's have some fun at the beach."

+
+"That is not your nut, Max! That is our nut!" Tim says.
+
+"Give it back to us, Max! You are not nice!" Sam says.
+
+Max laughs. He does not care. He likes the green nut better than the black nut.
+
+"Sorry, Tim and Sam, but I like this nut more. You can have my nut. It is a fair trade. Goodbye!" Max says.
+
+He runs away with the green nut. Tim and Sam are very sad. They look at the black nut. They do not want it. They want their green nut back.
+
+"Max is a bad squirrel. He replaced our nut with his nut. He is not our friend." Tim says.
+
+"I know, Tim. He is not fair. He is not kind. He is not smart." Sam says.
+
+They decide to look for another nut. They hope to find a bigger and better nut than Max's. They hope to never see Max again. They are good squirrels. They do not replace nuts. They share nuts.

+
+The teacher tried to comfort her and said she could share her dress and ribbon with the other girl. She said they could take turns and be friends. But Lily did not want to share. She wanted her own dress and ribbon. She wept louder and louder.

+
+Mommy was busy in the kitchen. She called Tommy to come and have lunch. Tommy did not hear her. He was too busy acting like a doctor. He said he had to save his patients. Mommy called him again. Tommy did not answer. He was too persistent in his acting.
+
+Mommy came to Tommy's room. She saw him acting like a doctor. She was not happy. She said, "Tommy, you have to stop acting and come to eat. You are hungry and so am I. You can act later, but now it is lunch time."
+
+Tommy looked at Mommy. He saw she was serious. He said, "Sorry, Mommy. I was having fun acting like a doctor. But I am hungry too. Can I bring my patients with me?" Mommy smiled. She said, "Yes, you can. But you have to wash your hands first. And after lunch, you have to clean up your mess."
+
+Tommy nodded. He said, "OK, Mommy. Thank you for being patient with me. I love you." He hugged Mommy and took his patients to the kitchen. He ate his lunch and then he cleaned up his room. He was a good boy. He still liked to act, but he also knew when to stop.

+
+Tom and Sam have a big alarm in their room. It makes a loud noise when it is time to wake up. Their mom and dad tell them to listen to the alarm, and not to sleep too much. The alarm is useful, because it helps them get ready for school.
+
+But Tom and Sam have a plan. They want to play more with their toys. They do not want to sleep. They wait until their mom and dad go to their room. Then they sneak out of their bed, and turn off the alarm. They think they are very smart.
+
+They play with their toys quietly, so their mom and dad do not hear them. They have a lot of fun. They do not know how much time passes. They do not see the sun come up. They do not hear the birds sing. They do not hear the other kids go to school.
+
+Suddenly, they hear a knock on their door. It is their mom. She looks angry. She says, "Why are you still in your room? Why did you turn off the alarm? You are late for school! Hurry up and get dressed!"
+
+Tom and Sam feel sorry. They wish they had listened to the alarm. They wish they had slept. They learn a lesson. The alarm is useful, but only if they use it.

+
+Lily and Ben nod. They think the yacht is fun. They want to go on the yacht. But their moms say, "No, no, no. You can't go on the yacht. You don't know the man. He is a stranger. It is not safe."
+
+Lily and Ben are sad. They don't understand. They think the man is nice. They think the yacht is cool. They cry and whine. They say, "But we want to go on the yacht!"
+

+
+Lily nods. She feels better. She does not want to eat the pepper anymore. She gives it to Mom. She says sorry to the pepper.
+
+"Sorry, pepper," Lily says. "You are pretty, but you are not for me. Maybe you can be for someone else."

+"Dear finder,
+
+This is my treasure. I collected it when I was young and adventurous. I traveled to many places and met many people. I had a lot of fun, but I also had a lot of trouble. I hid my treasure here, hoping that someone would find it and enjoy it. I am now elderly and sick, and I cannot go back to the park. I hope you like my treasure and use it well. Remember to always be brave, kind, and curious.
+
+Your friend,
+
+Jack"
+
+Sara and her mom were amazed. They felt sorry for Jack, but they also felt happy that they found his treasure. They decided to keep some of the things, and donate the rest to a charity.

+Tom was very sorry and scared. He cried and said he did not mean to do it. He said he just wanted to have fun. But his mom did not listen. She said he was a bad boy and a troublemaker. She said he had to go to his room and stay there. She said he had no toys and no friends.
+
+Tom went to his room. He felt very lonely and sad. He wished he had not played with the hose. He wished he had listened to his mom. He wished he had a good ending.

+
+One day, she sees a big tree in the garden. She thinks it is a good place to practice jumping. She runs to the tree and tries to jump on a branch. But she is too small and the branch is too high. She falls down and hurts her paw. She feels sad and cries.

+Timmy liked to bounce his ball in the yard. He bounced it high and low, fast and slow. He bounced it on the grass and on the dirt. He bounced it with his hands and with his feet.

+
+They went to the kitchen and found a bag of ice. Ben said, "This will make your arm feel better. It will make the sting cold and small." He wrapped the ice in a cloth and put it on Lily's arm.

+Sara put on a helmet and a jacket and climbed on the motorcycle behind her dad. They zoomed down the street and around the corner. Sara felt the wind in her hair and the sun on her face. She held on tight to her dad and tried to be brave.
+
+But then, something bad happened. A car ran a red light and hit the motorcycle. Sara and her dad flew off and landed on the ground. Sara felt pain in her leg and her arm. She saw blood and glass and metal. She heard sirens and people shouting. She cried and called for her mom.
+
+Sara's mom came running from the house. She had been baking a cake for Sara and her dad. She saw the crash and dropped the cake. She hugged Sara and her dad and told them she loved them. She said they were going to the hospital and everything would be okay. Sara wished they had stayed home and eaten the cake. She wished they had never seen the motorcycle. She wished they had never baked the cake.
+Lily and Ben are playing pirates in the garden. They have a big box for a ship, a stick for a sword and a hat for a captain. Lily is the captain and Ben is the mate.
+
+"Arrr, matey, we are looking for treasure!" Lily says. "We have to sail to the island and dig for gold and jewels!"
+
+"Yes, captain!" Ben says. He pretends to steer the ship with the stick. "Look, there is the island! It has a big palm tree and a flag!"
+
+Lily and Ben jump out of the box and run to the island. They find a spot under the tree and start to dig with their hands. They make a big hole in the dirt.
+
+"Wow, look what I found!" Ben says. He holds up a shiny metal hook. "It must be from a real pirate! Maybe he lost his hand in a fight!"
+
+"Let me see!" Lily says. She grabs the hook from Ben. "It is so cool! I want to keep it!"
+
+"No, it is mine!" Ben says. He tries to take the hook back. "I found it first!"
+
+They pull and tug on the hook. They are both angry and sad. They forget to have fun.
+
+"Stop it!" a voice says. It is Mom. She comes to the garden and sees Lily and Ben fighting. "What are you doing? Why are you not playing nicely?"
+
+"We found a hook, Mom!" Lily says. "But Ben won't let me have it!"
+
+"It is mine, Mom!" Ben says. "But Lily won't give it back!"
+
+Mom sighs. She takes the hook from them. "This is not a toy, children. It is dangerous. You could hurt yourself or someone else with it. You have to leave it alone."
+
+"But Mom, it is a pirate hook!" Lily and Ben say. "We want to play with it!"
+
+Mom shakes her head. "No, you can't. It is not safe. And you should not fight over things. You should share and be kind to each other. How about you play something else? Maybe you can make a map or a flag or a parrot?"
+
+Lily and Ben look at each other. They feel sorry for being mean. They nod and hug Mom.
+
+"OK, Mom. We are sorry. We will play something else." They say.
+
+Mom smiles and gives them the hook. "Here, you can have this. But only as a decoration. You can hang it on the tree or the box. But don't touch it or play with it. Do you understand?"
+
+"Yes, Mom. We understand." Lily and Ben say.
+
+They take the hook and hang it on the tree. They make a map and a flag and a parrot. They play pirates again. They are happy and friendly. They have a lot of fun.
+One day, Lily and Tom went to the park with their mom. They saw a big dog with brown fur and a long tail. The dog was playing with a ball. Lily and Tom wanted to pet the dog, but they did not know if the dog was friendly.
+
+"Mom, can we say hello to the dog?" Lily asked.
+
+"Sure, but first we have to introduce ourselves," mom said. "We have to ask the dog's owner if we can touch the dog, and we have to let the dog sniff our hands. That is how dogs say hello."
+
+Lily and Tom nodded. They walked up to the dog's owner, a man with a hat and a boot. The boot was on his foot because he had a hurt leg.
+
+"Hello, sir. What is your dog's name?" mom asked.
+
+"Hello, ma'am. His name is Max. He is a good boy, but he is very shy. He does not like strangers," the man said.
+
+"Can we pet him?" Lily asked.
+
+"You can try, but be careful. He might bark or bite if he gets scared or angry," the man said.
+
+Lily and Tom held out their hands for Max to sniff. Max looked at them with his big eyes and wagged his tail a little. He licked Lily's hand and let her scratch his ear. He sniffed Tom's hand and nuzzled his cheek. Lily and Tom smiled. They liked Max.
+
+But then, a loud noise made Max jump. It was a car horn. Max got scared and angry. He barked and growled. He ran away from Lily and Tom. He bumped into the man's boot and made him fall. The man cried out in pain.
+
+"Oh no, Max! Come back!" the man shouted.
+
+"Mom, what happened?" Lily asked.
+
+"Max got scared by the noise and ran away. He hurt his owner's leg. We have to help them," mom said.
+
+Mom ran to the man and helped him get up. She asked him if he was okay. He said he was, but he needed his boot. He pointed to where Max had run. Lily and Tom saw Max hiding under a bench. He had the boot in his mouth. He looked sad and sorry.
+
+"Max, come here. It's okay. We are not angry. We just want your owner's boot," mom said.
+
+Mom, Lily and Tom walked slowly to Max. They spoke softly and gently. They gave him a treat and a toy. Max dropped the boot and wagged his tail. He licked their hands and faces. He was not scared or angry anymore. He was happy.
+
+The man thanked mom, Lily and Tom for helping him and Max. He said they were very kind and brave. He said Max liked them now. He said they could pet him anytime. Lily and Tom hugged Max and said goodbye. They were happy too. They had made a new friend.
+Anna liked to play with her hoop. She could roll it, spin it, and jump through it. She had a big hoop and a small hoop. She liked the big hoop more, because it was easier to use.
+
+One day, she saw a new hoop in the park. It was very big and shiny. It had many colors on it. Anna wanted to try it. She ran to the hoop and picked it up. But it was too heavy for her. She could not lift it or roll it. She felt sad.
+
+"Can I help you?" a voice said. Anna looked up and saw a boy. He was older than her. He had a friendly smile. He had a hoop too. It was the same size as Anna's big hoop.
+
+"Yes, please," Anna said. "I want to play with this hoop, but it is too big for me."
+
+The boy nodded. He put his hoop down and took the big hoop from Anna. He showed her how to roll it with both hands. He said, "This hoop is for grown-ups. You have to be strong to use it. But you can grow and learn. I can teach you how to play with it."
+
+Anna smiled. She liked the boy. He was helpful. She tried to roll the hoop with him. She had fun. She learned a new way to play with her hoop. She thanked the boy and said, "You are a good teacher. Maybe one day I can play with your hoop too."
+
+The boy said, "Maybe. But you have to grow first. And you have to practice. Do you want to play with me again?"
+
+Anna said, "Yes, I do. Can we be friends?"
+
+The boy said, "Sure. My name is Ben. What is yours?"
+
+Anna said, "My name is Anna. I am happy to meet you."
+
+They hugged and played with their hoops. They became friends. They helped each other grow and learn. They had fun.
+Lily and Tom were friends who liked to travel. They had a big bike with two seats and a basket. They put some snacks and toys in the basket and rode to the park.
+
+The park had many flowers and trees and birds. Lily and Tom saw a pink hedge with roses. They stopped the bike and got off.
+
+"Wow, look at the pink hedge!" Lily said. "It is so pretty and smells good."
+
+"Can we touch the roses?" Tom asked.
+
+"Be careful, they have thorns. They can hurt you," Lily said.
+
+They reached out their hands and gently touched the roses. They felt soft and smooth. They smiled and smelled the roses.
+
+Suddenly, they heard a loud bark. A big dog came out from behind the hedge. It had black fur and sharp teeth. It looked angry and hungry.
+
+"Run!" Lily shouted. "The dog is scary!"
+
+Lily and Tom dropped the roses and ran to the bike. They jumped on the seats and pedaled fast. The dog chased them and barked louder.
+
+"Go, go, go!" Tom said. "We have to get away!"
+
+They rode away from the park and the dog. They were scared and out of breath. They looked back and saw the dog stop at the hedge. It sniffed the roses and wagged its tail.
+
+"Maybe the dog was not so bad," Lily said. "Maybe it just wanted to play."
+
+"Or maybe it wanted to eat our snacks," Tom said. "Let's not go back to the pink hedge."
+
+They agreed and rode to another place. They found a pond with ducks and fish. They fed them some bread and played with them. They forgot about the dog and the hedge. They had fun and were happy. They liked to travel and see new things.
+Lily and Ben love to bake with Mom. Today, they are making peanut cookies. Mom gives them a big bowl and a spoon. She says, "First, we need to mix the butter and the sugar. Can you help me?"
+
+Lily and Ben nod and take turns to stir the bowl. They like how the butter and the sugar become soft and sweet. Mom says, "Good job! Now, we need to add the egg and the flour. Can you crack the egg for me, Ben?"
+
+Ben tries to crack the egg, but he hits it too hard. The egg breaks and spills on the table. Ben feels sad and says, "Sorry, Mom. I made a mess."
+
+Mom smiles and says, "It's okay, Ben. We can clean it up. Baking is fun, but sometimes it can be messy. You just need to be patient and careful. Here, let me help you with the egg."
+
+Mom wipes the table and helps Ben to crack another egg. She adds it to the bowl with the flour. She says, "Now, we need to add the peanuts. Can you pour them for me, Lily?"
+
+Lily pours the peanuts into the bowl. She likes how they are crunchy and salty. She says, "Mom, can I eat one?"
+
+Mom says, "Sure, Lily. You can have one, but not too many. We need to save some for the cookies. Can you help me to roll the dough into balls and put them on the tray?"
+
+Lily and Ben help Mom to roll the dough and place it on the tray. They make twelve cookies. Mom says, "Now, we need to bake them in the oven. Can you set the timer for me, Ben?"
+
+Ben sets the timer for ten minutes. He says, "Mom, how long do we have to wait?"
+
+Mom says, "We have to wait until the timer beeps. Then, the cookies will be ready. But we have to be patient and not open the oven. Do you want to read a book with me while we wait?"
+
+Lily and Ben say, "Yes, Mom. We love to read with you."
+
+Mom picks a book from the shelf and sits on the couch with Lily and Ben. They read a story about a bear and a honey pot. They laugh and hug. They smell the cookies baking. They are happy. They are patient. They are a family.
+Tom and Sue were playing in the park. They liked to run and slide and swing. They saw an old man sitting on a bench. He had a cane and a hat. He looked sad.
+
+"Hello, sir," Tom said. "Why are you sad?"
+
+The old man smiled. "I'm not sad, just tired. I came to the park to see the birds and the flowers, but I lost my way. I don't know how to return to my home."
+
+Tom and Sue wanted to help. They asked the old man where he lived. He told them his address. It was not far from the park.
+
+"Come on, sir," Sue said. "We can show you the way. We know this place very well. We are successful explorers."
+
+The old man nodded. He took his cane and his hat and followed Tom and Sue. They walked and talked. They saw the birds and the flowers. They crossed the street and turned the corner. They found the old man's home.
+
+"Here it is, sir," Tom said. "This is your home. You are safe now."
+
+The old man thanked Tom and Sue. He gave them a hug and a candy. He invited them to visit him again.
+
+"Thank you, children," he said. "You are very kind and helpful. You made me happy today. You are my friends."
+
+Tom and Sue smiled. They waved goodbye and returned to the park. They were proud of themselves. They had done a good deed. They had made a new friend. They had a fun day.
+Anna and Ben liked to play pirates. They had a big box that was their ship. They had hats and swords and a map. They pretended to sail to an island with a treasure.
+
+"Look, Ben, I found a gem!" Anna said. She held up a shiny stone. It was pink and sparkled in the sun. "It is so pretty!"
+
+"Wow, Anna, that is a great gem!" Ben said. "But we have to be careful. There might be bad pirates who want to take it from us."
+
+They put the gem in their box and sailed away. But they did not see a sneaky pirate behind a tree. He had a hook and a patch and a parrot. He wanted the gem for himself.
+
+"Arrr, that is a fine gem, me hearties!" the sneaky pirate said to his parrot. "I will follow them and take it when they are not looking. Come on, Polly, let's go!"
+
+The sneaky pirate got on his boat and chased Anna and Ben. He got closer and closer. Anna and Ben heard his parrot squawk.
+
+"Look, Anna, there is a bad pirate behind us!" Ben said. "He wants our gem! What can we do?"
+
+"Don't worry, Ben, I have an idea!" Anna said. She took the gem out of the box and threw it into the water. "There, he can have it!"
+
+The sneaky pirate saw the gem splash into the water. He stopped his boat and jumped in. He tried to grab the gem, but it was too deep. He could not see it. He could not breathe. He had to go back up.
+
+"Arrr, where is the gem?" the sneaky pirate said. "I can't find it! I can't escape!"
+
+But Anna and Ben did not wait for him. They sailed away as fast as they could. They laughed and hugged. They did not need the gem. They had each other. They were happy.
+Anna and Ben were twins who loved to play hide and seek. One day, they decided to play in their big house while their mom was making lunch. Anna counted to ten and then looked for Ben.
+
+She checked under the beds, behind the curtains, and in the closets, but she could not find him. She wondered where he could be. She thought maybe he was in the living room, where there was a big fireplace. She ran to the living room and looked around.
+
+She saw a pile of pillows on the couch. She thought maybe Ben was hiding under them. She lifted one pillow and said, "Aha! I found you!"
+
+But it was not Ben. It was a fluffy white cat. The cat meowed and jumped off the couch. Anna was surprised. She did not know they had a cat. She followed the cat to the fireplace, where it curled up on a rug.
+
+She saw a note on the fireplace. It said, "Dear Anna and Ben, I have a surprise for you. This is Snowy, your new cat. She is very rare and very friendly. She likes to play and cuddle. I hope you like her. Love, Mom."
+
+Anna smiled. She liked the cat. She thought Ben would like her too. She wanted to reveal the surprise to him. She called his name and waited for him to come out of his hiding spot. She hoped he was not too far away. She wanted to share the fun with him.
+Lila and Ben were very happy. They were going to see a big game at the stadium with their dad. They wore red shirts and hats to cheer for their team. They saw many people wearing red too. They felt like they belonged.
+
+When they got to their seats, they saw the players on the field. They looked strong and fast. Lila and Ben clapped and shouted their names. They wanted them to win. They also saw the other team wearing blue. They did not like them. They booed and hissed at them.
+
+One of the players in red saw Lila and Ben. He smiled and waved at them. Lila and Ben were surprised and excited. They waved back. They felt special. They wondered how he knew them.
+
+Their dad leaned over and whispered in their ears. "Do you remember when we met him at the park last week? He was playing with his dog. He was very nice and humble. He gave you his autograph and a ball. He is one of the best players in the game. His name is Sam."
+
+Lila and Ben remembered. They felt shy and proud. They thanked Sam for waving at them. They hoped he would score a goal. They cheered louder for him and their team. They had a lot of fun at the stadium.
+Tommy loved his red balloon. He got it from his mom for being a good boy. He played with it all day. He bounced it, he threw it, he hugged it. He did not want to lose it.
+
+But Billy, the mean boy from next door, wanted his balloon. He came to Tommy's yard and said, "Give me your balloon, or I will pop it!"
+
+Tommy was scared. He did not want to give his balloon to Billy. He did not want Billy to pop it. He said, "No, this is my balloon. Go away!"
+
+Billy was angry. He tried to grab the balloon from Tommy. He pulled and pulled. Tommy held on tight. He pulled and pulled. The balloon stretched and stretched.
+
+Tommy cried, "Help! Help! Billy is trying to take my balloon!"
+
+Daddy heard Tommy's cry. He ran to the yard. He saw Billy and Tommy fighting over the balloon. He said, "Stop it, Billy! Leave Tommy alone! This is his balloon, not yours!"
+
+Billy let go of the balloon. He ran away. He was afraid of Daddy. Daddy was big and strong. He could protect Tommy.
+
+Tommy hugged Daddy. He said, "Thank you, Daddy. You are strong. You saved my balloon."
+
+Daddy smiled. He said, "You're welcome, Tommy. I love you. You are brave. You tried to protect your balloon."
+
+Tommy smiled. He said, "I love you, too, Daddy. You are the best."
+
+They went inside. They had cookies and milk. Tommy played with his balloon. He was happy. He had his balloon and his daddy.
+Lily and Ben liked to draw with crayons. They had many colors and shapes to make pictures. One day, they wanted to draw a big circle on a white paper. They thought a circle was a perfect shape.
+
+They took a blue crayon and started to draw. They held hands and moved the crayon together. They tried to make the circle round and smooth. But it was hard. The crayon made bumps and lines. The circle was not perfect.
+
+They were sad. They wanted a perfect circle. They looked around for something to help them. They saw a big plate on the table. It was round and smooth. They had an idea.
+
+They put the plate on the paper. They traced the edge of the plate with the crayon. They lifted the plate. They saw a perfect circle on the paper. They were happy. They smiled and hugged.
+
+They wanted to color the circle. They picked a red crayon. They started to fill the circle with red. But they did not see the cat. The cat was curious. It saw the crayons and the paper. It wanted to play.
+
+The cat jumped on the table. It knocked over the crayons. It scratched the paper. It ruined the circle. Lily and Ben saw the cat. They were angry. They shouted at the cat.
+
+"Bad cat! Go away! You prevented us from making a perfect circle!"
+
+The cat was scared. It ran away. Lily and Ben were sad. They looked at their circle. It was not perfect anymore. It had holes and marks. They cried.
+
+They wanted to make a new circle. But they had no more white paper. They had no more blue crayon. They had no more red crayon. They had nothing.
+
+They learned a lesson. They learned to watch out for the cat. They learned to protect their circle. They learned to be careful. They learned to be happy with what they had. They learned to try again.
+Tom and Lily were camping with their dad in the woods. They had a big tent, a warm fire and some marshmallows to roast. They liked to listen to the sounds of the night, like the crickets, the owls and the wind.
+
+But soon they felt very sleepy. They yawned and rubbed their eyes. Their dad said it was time to go to bed. He tucked them in their sleeping bags and gave them a kiss. He told them he loved them and that he would watch over them.
+
+Tom and Lily closed their eyes and snuggled close. They felt safe and cozy in their tent. They heard their dad humming a soft song. They smelled the wood burning in the fire. They dreamed of the stars and the animals. They were very happy and peaceful.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play at the beach. They make sand castles and look for shells. They also like to watch the ocean. The ocean is big and blue and makes funny noises.
+
+One day, Anna and Ben see a boat on the ocean. The boat is white and has a red flag. They want to go on the boat. They ask their mom if they can go on the boat. Their mom says no. She says the boat is too far and too fast. She says they have to stay on the sand.
+
+Anna and Ben are sad. They really want to go on the boat. They think the boat is fun and exciting. They do not listen to their mom. They run to the water and try to swim to the boat. They do not know how to swim very well. They splash and kick and cough.
+
+Their mom sees them and gets scared. She runs to the water and grabs them. She pulls them back to the sand. She is angry and worried. She says they are naughty and silly. She says they could have drowned. She says they have to listen to her.
+
+Anna and Ben are sorry. They did not mean to make their mom scared. They did not know the ocean was dangerous. They hug their mom and say they are sorry. They say they love her and they will listen to her. Their mom hugs them back and says she loves them too. She says they can play at the beach, but they have to stay away from the ocean. They say okay. They go back to their sand castles and shells. They watch the boat from far away. They still think the boat is fun and exciting, but they also think the ocean is big and scary. They are happy to be with their mom.
+Lily liked to collect things. She had a box full of shells, rocks, feathers and buttons. One day, she saw a new thing in the garden. It was round and shiny and had a wire on top. It was a bulb.
+
+She asked her mom what it was. Her mom said it was a light bulb. It could make light when it was in a lamp. Lily wanted to collect it. She asked her mom if she could have it. Her mom said yes, but she had to be careful. The bulb could break and hurt her.
+
+Lily put the bulb in her box. She was happy. She wanted to find more bulbs. She asked her mom where they came from. Her mom said they came from the store. They were not in the garden. Lily was sad. She wanted to collect more bulbs.
+
+She had an idea. She asked her mom if they could go to the store. Her mom said yes, but they had to do some errands first. Lily agreed. She got ready to go. She put on her shoes and coat. She took her box with her.
+
+At the store, Lily saw many bulbs. They were different colors and shapes. Some were big and some were small. Some were tall and some were short. Lily liked the tall ones. They looked like rockets. She asked her mom if she could have one. Her mom said yes, but only one. Lily chose a tall blue bulb. She put it in her box. She was very happy. She had two bulbs now. She wanted to collect more. She thanked her mom and gave her a hug. She said she loved her and her bulbs.
+Lily likes to speed on her bike. She has a red bike with a bell and a basket. She rides fast on the sidewalk and rings her bell. She likes to feel the wind in her hair and the sun on her face.
+
+One day, she sees a big dog on the street. The dog is black and furry and has sharp teeth. It barks loud and runs after Lily. Lily is scared. She speeds faster on her bike and tries to get away from the dog. She hopes the dog will stop chasing her.
+
+She sees her house at the end of the street. She speeds to the door and jumps off her bike. She runs inside and slams the door. She is safe. She breathes hard and hugs her mom. Her mom gives her a hug and a kiss. She says, "You are brave, Lily. What happened?"
+
+Lily tells her mom about the scary dog. Her mom says, "I'm sorry, Lily. That dog is mean. He should not chase you. I will talk to his owner and tell him to keep him on a leash. Do you want some toast?"
+
+Lily nods. She likes toast. She likes it with butter and jam. Her mom makes her some toast and cuts it into triangles. Lily eats her toast and feels better. She says, "Thank you, mom. I love you."
+
+Her mom says, "I love you too, Lily. You are my sweet girl." She smiles and hugs Lily again. Lily feels happy. She forgets about the scary dog. She thinks about her red bike and the wind and the sun. She thinks, "Maybe I will speed again tomorrow."
+Anna and Ben were twins. They liked to travel with their mom and dad. They had a big car with four seats. Anna and Ben always sat in the back seats. They wore belts to be safe.
+
+One day, they went to the zoo. They saw many animals. They saw lions, monkeys, bears, and birds. Anna and Ben were happy. They wanted to see more animals.
+
+"Mom, can we go to the snake house?" Anna asked.
+
+"Sure, honey. But be careful. Snakes are dangerous. They can bite you," Mom said.
+
+"OK, Mom. We will be careful," Ben said.
+
+They got out of the car and walked to the snake house. They saw many snakes. Some were big, some were small. Some were green, some were brown. Some were coiled, some were straight. Anna and Ben looked at the snakes. They were curious.
+
+"Look, Ben. That snake has a red tongue. It is sticking out," Anna said.
+
+"Yes, Anna. That snake is smelling the air. It is looking for food," Ben said.
+
+"Food? Do you think we are food?" Anna asked.
+
+"No, Anna. We are not food. We are too big for the snake. And we have clothes. The snake likes mice and frogs," Ben said.
+
+"Good. I don't want to be food for the snake. I want to go back to the car. I want to sit in my seat. I want to wear my belt. I want to be safe," Anna said.
+
+"Me too, Anna. Let's go back to the car. Let's tell Mom and Dad what we saw. Let's travel to another place. Maybe we can see penguins. Penguins are not dangerous. They are cute," Ben said.
+
+Anna and Ben held hands and walked back to the car. They told Mom and Dad about the snakes. They sat in their seats and wore their belts. They were safe. They were ready to travel to another place. They were happy.
+Lila and Rani were playing in the forest. They liked to pretend they were hunters and look for animals. They each had a spear made of wood and leaves. They were careful not to hurt anyone with their spears.
+
+"Look, Rani, a rabbit!" Lila whispered. She pointed to a brown furry thing that was hopping near a bush. "Let's catch it!"
+
+Rani nodded. She followed Lila as they crept closer to the rabbit. They raised their spears and threw them at the same time. But the rabbit was too fast. It saw the spears and ran away.
+
+"Oh, no!" Lila said. "We missed it!"
+
+"And we lost our spears!" Rani said. She looked around and saw that their spears had landed far away. "How will we get them back?"
+
+Lila thought for a moment. She had an idea. She saw a big tree nearby. It had many branches and leaves. She said to Rani, "Let's climb the tree. Maybe we can see our spears from there."
+
+Rani agreed. She liked to climb trees. They ran to the tree and started to climb. They used their hands and feet to hold on to the branches. They went higher and higher until they reached the top.
+
+"Wow!" Lila said. "We can see everything from here!"
+
+She looked around and saw the forest, the river, the hills, and the sky. She also saw their spears. They were lying on the ground near the bush where the rabbit had been.
+
+"I see our spears!" she said to Rani. "They are over there!"
+
+Rani looked where Lila was pointing. She saw their spears too. She was happy. She said to Lila, "Let's go get them!"
+
+They climbed down the tree and ran to their spears. They picked them up and hugged them. They were glad to have them back.
+
+"Let's go home now," Lila said. "It's getting dark."
+
+"OK," Rani said. "But can we play again tomorrow?"
+
+"Of course," Lila said. "You are my best friend. You are very nice."
+
+They smiled at each other and walked home. They held their spears and each other's hand. They had a lot of fun in the forest. They hoped to see the rabbit again.
+Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play with their toys. One day, they found a staff in the park. It was long and brown and had a shiny ball on top. Tim and Sam thought it was cool and wanted to keep it.
+
+"Let's put it in our room," Tim said.
+
+"No, let's put it in the living room," Sam said.
+
+They started to argue and pull the staff. They did not share or listen to each other. They were very rude and selfish.
+
+Mom heard them and came to see what was wrong. She saw the staff and was shocked. She knew it was not a toy, but a disgusting thing that someone had thrown away. It was dirty and smelly and had germs on it.
+
+"Boys, what are you doing with that staff?" Mom asked. "It is not a toy, it is a disgusting thing that can make you sick. You should not touch it or bring it home. You should throw it in the trash."
+
+Tim and Sam felt ashamed and sorry. They realized they had been foolish and greedy. They said sorry to Mom and to each other. They let go of the staff and put it in a bag. Mom took them to the trash can and helped them throw it away.
+
+Mom hugged them and said, "I'm glad you learned your lesson. You should not fight over things that are not yours or good for you. You should share and care for each other and your toys. That is what makes you happy and healthy."
+
+Tim and Sam nodded and agreed. They thanked Mom and went back to their room. They played nicely with their toys and with each other. They were happy and healthy.
+Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play together. They enjoy playing hero and villain. Tom is the hero and Lily is the villain. They run and hide and chase each other.
+
+One day, they find a big box in the park. They think it is a secret base. They decide to play hero and villain in the box. Tom goes inside the box and Lily stays outside. She pretends to be a bad villain who wants to take over the world.
+
+She knocks on the box and says, "Hero, come out and fight me! I have a big plan to make everyone unhappy!" Tom says, "No, villain, I will not come out! I have a big plan to make everyone happy!" They laugh and make funny noises.
+
+Then, they hear a voice. It is Tom's mom. She says, "Tom, Lily, it is time to go home. I have a tasty surprise for you!" Tom and Lily come out of the box. They see Tom's mom holding a big cake. It has chocolate and sprinkles and candles. It is Tom's birthday!
+
+Tom and Lily are happy. They hug Tom's mom and say, "Thank you, mom! You are the best!" They enjoy the cake and share it with their friends. They think it is the best cake ever. They say, "You are our hero, mom!" Tom's mom smiles and says, "You are my heroes, too!"
+Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big pile of wood near a house. The wood is rough and brown.
+
+"Let's take some wood and make a fort!" Tom says.
+
+"But that is not our wood. That is someone's wood. We cannot steal it." Sam says.
+
+"Who cares? They have too much wood. They will not miss it." Tom says. He picks up a piece of wood and runs to the park.
+
+Sam follows him. He is scared. He does not want to steal. He does not want to get in trouble.
+
+They find a spot under a tree. They start to build a fort with the wood. They use sticks and leaves to make it look nice.
+
+They are having fun. They do not see the man who owns the wood. He comes out of his house. He sees his wood is gone. He is angry. He follows the trail of wood to the park.
+
+He finds Tom and Sam in their fort. He shouts at them.
+
+"Hey! What are you doing with my wood? You stole it from me! Give it back right now!"
+
+Tom and Sam are shocked. They see the man. He is big and red. He looks mean.
+
+They are sorry. They did not think he would find them. They did not think he would care.
+
+They drop the wood and run away. They are scared. They cry.
+
+They learn a lesson. They do not steal again. They do not play with rough wood. They play with nice toys. They are good friends.
+Lily and Tom were adventurous kids. They liked to explore new places and find new things. One day, they saw a big hill near their house. It was black and dirty. They wanted to see what was on top of it.
+
+"Let's go up the hill," Tom said. "Maybe we can find something cool."
+
+"Okay," Lily said. "But we have to be careful. Mom said the hill is made of coal. Coal is bad for us. It can make us sick."
+
+They put on their hats and gloves and started to climb the hill. It was hard and slippery. They had to hold on to rocks and sticks. They got very dirty. Their hands and faces were black.
+
+When they reached the top, they saw a big hole. It was dark and scary. They heard a noise inside.
+
+"What is that?" Lily asked.
+
+"I don't know," Tom said. "Let's find out."
+
+They walked to the hole and looked inside. They saw a big machine. It was loud and shiny. It had wheels and pipes and wires. It was digging the coal out of the hill.
+
+"Wow," Tom said. "That is cool. It is a coal digger. It makes the coal into smaller pieces. Then it puts them in a big truck. The truck takes them away."
+
+"Can we touch it?" Lily asked.
+
+"No," Tom said. "It is dangerous. It can hurt us. We have to stay away from it."
+
+They watched the machine for a while. They saw the coal pieces fall into the truck. They saw the truck drive away. They saw another truck come.
+
+"Let's go down the hill," Lily said. "It is getting late. Mom will be worried."
+
+"Okay," Tom said. "But we have to clean ourselves first. We are very dirty. Mom will be angry."
+
+They found a stream near the hill. They washed their hands and faces. They tried to clean their clothes. They still looked dirty.
+
+They ran back to their house. They hoped Mom would not see them.
+
+But Mom saw them. She was waiting at the door. She was not happy.
+
+"What have you done?" Mom asked. "You are covered in coal. Where have you been?"
+
+Lily and Tom looked at each other. They did not know what to say.
+
+They had been adventurous. But they had also been naughty. They had to tell Mom the truth. They had to say sorry. They had to promise not to go to the coal hill again. They had to take a bath. They had to clean their clothes.
+
+They learned their lesson. Coal is not a good thing to play with. It is dirty and dangerous. They decided to find another place to explore. A place that is safer and cleaner. A place that Mom would like.
+Sam liked hockey a lot. He had a hockey stick and a ball. He played hockey with his dad and his friends. Sometimes, he watched hockey on TV. He wanted to be a hockey star.
+
+One day, Sam went to the park with his dad. He saw some big kids playing hockey. They had helmets and pads and gloves. They looked cool and strong. Sam wanted to play with them.
+
+He asked his dad if he could join them. His dad said yes, but he had to be careful. The big kids played fast and hard. They might hit him or push him. Sam said he was not afraid. He took his hockey stick and ball and went to the big kids.
+
+He said hello and asked if he could play. The big kids laughed. They said he was too small and too slow. They said he had no helmet or pads or gloves. They said he would get hurt. They said he should go away.
+
+Sam felt sad and angry. He did not want to go away. He wanted to play hockey. He said he was good at hockey. He said he could score goals. He said he could protect the ball.
+
+The big kids did not believe him. They said he was lying. They said they would show him. They took his ball and stick. They tried to score on him. They hit him and pushed him. They made fun of him.
+
+Sam tried to get his ball and stick back. He tried to stop them from scoring. He tried to protect himself. But it was difficult. He was small and they were big. He had no helmet or pads or gloves and they had. He felt pain and fear.
+
+He wanted his dad to help him. He looked for his dad. He saw his dad running to him. His dad was angry. He shouted at the big kids. He told them to stop. He told them to give back Sam's ball and stick. He told them to leave Sam alone.
+
+The big kids were scared of Sam's dad. They gave back Sam's ball and stick. They said sorry. They ran away.
+
+Sam's dad hugged Sam. He asked if he was okay. He said he was proud of Sam. He said Sam was brave and strong. He said Sam did well to protect himself. He said he loved Sam.
+
+Sam felt happy and safe. He thanked his dad. He said he loved his dad. He said he still liked hockey. He said he wanted to play with his dad and his friends. He said he did not need to play with the big kids.
+
+His dad smiled. He said he liked hockey too. He said he wanted to play with Sam and his friends. He said they would have fun. He said they would protect each other.
+
+They took Sam's ball and stick. They went to find Sam's friends. They played hockey together. They had fun. They protected each other.
+Tim and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to pretend they were animals. Tim was a lion and Lily was a rabbit. Tim chased Lily around the trees and the flowers. He tried to catch her with his paws.
+
+"Roar!" Tim said. "I am a big and strong lion. You are a small and weak rabbit. I will eat you for lunch!"
+
+Lily was not afraid of Tim. She was fast and smart. She ran and hid behind a bush. She waited for Tim to come closer. Then she jumped out and ran to the other side of the garden.
+
+"Ha ha!" Lily said. "You are a silly and slow lion. You cannot catch me. I am a clever and brave rabbit. I will escape from you!"
+
+Tim was angry and frustrated. He wanted to catch Lily and win the game. He ran after her again. He did not see the fence at the end of the garden. He bumped into it and fell down. He hurt his nose and his knee. He started to cry.
+
+Lily heard Tim's cry. She stopped running and turned around. She saw Tim lying on the ground. She felt sorry for him. She ran back to him and helped him up.
+
+"Are you okay, Tim?" Lily asked. "I am sorry you got hurt. It was just a game. You are a good lion and a good friend."
+
+Tim sniffed and wiped his tears. He looked at Lily. She smiled at him. He smiled back.
+
+"I am okay, Lily," Tim said. "Thank you for helping me. It was just a game. You are a good rabbit and a good friend."
+
+They hugged and made up. They decided to play a different game. They looked at the sky and saw some clouds. They tried to guess what they looked like. They saw a distant cloud that looked like a dragon. They both roared and laughed. They had fun.
+One day, a little squirrel named Nala was looking for acorns in the forest. She liked to eat acorns and store them in her nest for winter. She saw a big tree with many acorns on its branches. She climbed up the tree and picked an acorn with her teeth.
+
+"Yum, this acorn looks good," she said to herself. She was about to eat it when she heard a loud roar. She looked down and saw a big bear under the tree. The bear was hungry and wanted to eat the acorns too. He shook the tree with his strong paws and made the acorns fall.
+
+Nala was scared. She did not want to fall or be eaten by the bear. She held on to the branch and the acorn. She did not know what to do. She started to panic.
+
+"Help, help!" she cried. "There is a big bear under the tree. He wants to eat me and my acorn."
+
+She hoped that someone would hear her and come to save her. She looked around and saw a friendly bird on a nearby branch. The bird was blue and had a long tail. His name was Ravi.
+
+"Hello, little squirrel," he said. "Why are you crying?"
+
+"There is a big bear under the tree," Nala said. "He wants to eat me and my acorn. Can you help me?"
+
+Ravi saw the bear and felt sorry for Nala. He had an idea. He flew over the bear and started to make loud noises. He pecked the bear's ears and pulled his fur. He annoyed the bear so much that the bear forgot about the acorns and ran away.
+
+"Ha, ha, ha," Ravi laughed. "That bear is gone. He is afraid of me."
+
+Nala was happy. She thanked Ravi for helping her. She gave him half of her acorn as a gift.
+
+"Thank you, Ravi," she said. "You are very brave and kind. You are my friend."
+
+Ravi smiled. He liked Nala and her acorn. He shared it with her and they ate it together.
+
+"You are welcome, Nala," he said. "You are my friend too. Let's find more acorns and have fun."
+
+They climbed down the tree and looked for more acorns. They played and talked and laughed. They were happy. They did not panic anymore.
+Tom and Sam were friends who liked to play in the park. They had a ball and a monkey toy that they took turns to throw and catch. The monkey toy was soft and funny, and it made a noise when it landed.
+
+One day, a new boy came to the park. His name was Ben, and he wanted to play with Tom and Sam. He asked them if he could throw the ball and the monkey toy too. Tom and Sam said yes, because they were kind and wanted to make a new friend.
+
+But Ben was not kind. He was eager to have all the fun, and he did not share. He threw the ball and the monkey toy very hard and very far, and he did not let Tom and Sam catch them. He laughed when they ran after them, and he said they were slow and silly.
+
+Tom and Sam felt sad and angry. They did not like Ben, and they did not want to play with him anymore. They told him to go away and leave them alone. Ben did not care. He said he did not need them, and he took the ball and the monkey toy and ran away.
+
+Tom and Sam were left with nothing. They cried and hugged each other. They wished they had their ball and their monkey toy back. They learned a lesson that day. They learned that it is not nice to be greedy and selfish, and that it is better to share and be kind. They hoped that Ben would learn that lesson too, and that he would bring back their ball and their monkey toy someday.
+Lily was a little bird who liked to sing. She had many friends who liked to listen to her songs. She was popular and happy. But she had a problem. She did not have a nest of her own.
+
+One day, she saw a big and cozy nest on a high branch. She flew over and saw that it was empty. She thought, maybe I can borrow this nest for a while. It looks so nice and warm. She landed on the nest and snuggled in.
+
+But soon, she heard a loud voice. "Hey, who are you? What are you doing in my nest?" It was Max, the eagle, who owned the nest. He was big and scary. He was angry and hungry.
+
+Lily was scared. She said, "I'm sorry, I'm Lily, a little bird. I just wanted to borrow your nest for a little bit. I don't have a nest of my own. Please don't hurt me."
+
+Max looked at Lily. He saw that she was small and cute. He also heard that she could sing. He said, "You can borrow my nest for a little bit, but only if you sing for me. I like to hear songs. They make me happy."
+
+Lily agreed. She sang a beautiful song for Max. He liked it very much. He said, "You have a lovely voice, Lily. You are a good singer. You can stay in my nest for a while, but you have to share it with me. And you have to sing for me every day."
+

+
+The little girl saw Sara too. She smiled and said, "Hi, I'm Lily. What's your name?"
+
+Sara felt happy. She smiled back and said, "Hi, I'm Sara. I like your doll. She's pretty."
+
+Lily said, "Thank you. She's my favorite. Do you want to play with her?"
+
+Sara nodded. She liked dolls. She liked to dress them and comb their hair. She said, "Yes, please. Can I?"
+
+Lily said, "Sure. Here, you can hold her. She likes to hug."
+

+
+"Can we pet the dog?" Jen asks Tom.
+
+"I don't know," Tom says. "Maybe the dog is not nice. Maybe it will bite us."
+
+Jen is not afraid. She loves dogs. She walks to the dog. She says, "Hello, dog. You are cute. Can I pet you?"
+
+The dog wags its tail. It licks Jen's hand. Jen smiles. She pets the dog. She says, "Tom, come here. The dog is nice. He likes me."
+
+Tom is not sure. He stays away. He says, "No, Jen. I don't want to pet the dog. Maybe the dog is tricking us. Maybe he will bite us when we are not looking."
+
+Jen is sad. She says, "Tom, you are silly. The dog is not tricking us. He is a good dog. He tells the truth. He is happy to see us."
+
+Tom is angry. He says, "Jen, you are silly. You don't know the dog. You don't know the truth. He is a bad dog. He is lying to you."
+
+Jen and Tom argue. They yell at each other. They do not listen to each other. They do not play together.
+
+The dog is sad. He does not like to see Jen and Tom fight. He wants to play with them. He barks at them. He tries to make them stop.
+
+But Jen and Tom do not hear the dog. They are too busy fighting. They do not see the dog run away. They do not see the dog's owner come to the park. They do not see the dog's owner call the dog. They do not see the dog go with the owner.
+
+When Jen and Tom stop fighting, they look for the dog. But the dog is gone. Jen and Tom are sad. They miss the dog. They wish they had not fought. They wish they had listened to the dog. They wish they had told the truth. They wish they had stayed friends.

+Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. Lily had a doll with a pink bow in her hair. Ben had a car that made noises when he pushed it. They were having fun, but they also wanted to talk to each other.
+
+"Look at my doll, Ben. She has a bow. Do you like it?" Lily asked.
+

+
+"Yes, I like it. It is cool. Can I try it?" Lily asked.
+
+"OK, you can try it. But be careful. It is fast." Ben said.
+
+Lily took the car and pushed it on the floor. It zoomed across the room and hit the wall. It made a loud noise. Lily and Ben laughed.
+
+"Can I try your doll, Lily? She has a bow. I want to see it." Ben asked.
+
+"OK, you can try it. But be gentle. She is soft." Lily said.
+
+Ben took the doll and looked at her bow. He touched it and pulled it. It came off. The doll's hair was messy. Ben was scared.

+Lily saw her doll and her bow. She was sad. She started to cry.
+
+"You broke my doll, Ben. You are mean. Give it back to me." Lily said.
+
+Ben gave the doll and the bow back to Lily. He felt bad. He wanted to make her happy.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily. I can fix it. Let me help you." Ben said.
+
+He took the bow and tried to put it back on the doll's hair. He repeated what he saw Lily do before. He made a knot and a loop. He did it again. He made another knot and another loop. He made a bow. He showed it to Lily.
+

+Tom and Sam were brothers who liked to play outside. They had a big yard with a tree, a swing, and a sandbox. They also had a bell that their mom gave them to ring when it was time to come inside.
+
+One day, Tom and Sam were playing in the sandbox. They made a big castle with sand and sticks and stones. They were very proud of their castle and wanted to show it to their mom. But they did not hear the bell that their mom rang to call them for lunch.
+
+Their mom rang the bell again and again, but Tom and Sam did not listen. They were too busy playing with their castle. They did not know that their mom had prepared a yummy lunch for them with sandwiches, fruits, and cookies.
+
+Soon, the sun was very hot and the sand was very dry. The castle started to fall apart and the sticks and stones became smelly. Tom and Sam felt hungry and thirsty and tired. They wished they had listened to the bell and gone inside.
+
+They ran to the door and knocked. Their mom opened the door and saw them. She was not happy. She said, "Why did you not come when I rang the bell? Your lunch is cold and your faces are dirty. You need to learn to obey and respect me. I love you and I want you to be healthy and happy."
+
+Tom and Sam felt sorry and said, "We are sorry, mom. We were having fun with our castle and we did not hear the bell. We will listen to you next time. We love you too."
+
+Their mom hugged them and said, "I forgive you, but you need to wash your hands and faces before you eat. And you need to clean up your sandbox later. Your castle was nice, but it is not worth missing your lunch and making me worry."
+
+Tom and Sam nodded and said, "Yes, mom." They washed their hands and faces and ate their lunch. They thanked their mom for preparing the food and said it was yummy. Then they went back to the yard and cleaned up their sandbox. They learned their lesson and never ignored the bell again.
+Lily liked to play with her velvet doll. She named her doll Anna and gave her a pink dress and a blue hat. Lily and Anna were best friends and did everything together.
+
+One day, Lily's big brother Sam came into her room. He saw Anna on the bed and picked her up. He said, "This doll is old and ugly. I'm going to throw her in the trash."
+
+Lily was very angry and sad. She yelled, "No, Sam, no! Anna is my friend. Give her back to me!"
+
+Sam laughed and ran away with Anna. He said, "Too bad, Lily. You can't catch me. Anna is mine now."
+
+Lily chased after Sam, but he was faster. She cried and cried. She wished she had a wise friend who could help her.
+
+She ran into the kitchen, where her mom was making cookies. She told her mom what Sam did. Her mom hugged her and said, "Don't worry, Lily. Sam was very mean and naughty. He should not take your things. I will talk to him and get Anna back for you."
+
+Lily felt a little better. She hoped her mom could find Anna and make Sam say sorry. She loved her velvet doll and missed her very much.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys. Anna has a big doll with a dress and a hat. Ben has a small car with a handle. They can make the car go fast or slow.
+
+One day, they go to the park with their toys. They see a big house with a fence. They see a girl and a boy in the yard. The girl has a lot of dolls and the boy has a lot of cars. They look rich.
+
+"Hello, can we play with you?" Anna asks.
+
+"No, you can't. Your toys are old and ugly. Our toys are new and pretty. Go away!" the girl says.
+
+"That's not nice. We can share our toys. You can play with my doll and I can play with your car. Ben can play with your car and you can play with his car. We can change toys and have fun." Anna says.
+
+"No, we don't want to change toys. We like our toys. You can't touch them. They are ours!" the boy says.
+
+Anna and Ben feel sad. They don't like the girl and the boy. They are mean and selfish. They go to another part of the park. They find a swing and a slide. They play with their toys and have fun. They are happy. They don't need to change toys. They like their toys. They are theirs!
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys in their room. But today, they are bored. They have played with all their toys many times.
+
+"Let's do something new," Anna says to Ben.
+
+"Like what?" Ben asks.
+
+Anna thinks for a moment. She sees a big blanket on their bed. She has an idea.
+
+"Let's weigh the blanket!" she says.
+
+"How do we do that?" Ben wonders.
+
+Anna explains. "We need a scale. Mom has one in the bathroom. We can take it to our room. Then we can put the blanket on the scale and see how much it weighs."
+
+Ben likes the idea. He helps Anna carry the scale to their room. They put the blanket on the scale. The scale shows a number.
+
+"Look, the blanket weighs six!" Anna says.
+
+"Wow, that's a lot!" Ben says.
+
+They are happy. They have learned something new. They decide to weigh other things in their room, like their books, their pillows, and their teddy bears. They have fun comparing the numbers.
+
+They are so busy weighing things that they don't hear Mom calling them for lunch. Mom comes to their room and sees the scale and the blanket and the toys.
+
+"What are you doing?" Mom asks.
+
+"We are weighing things!" Anna and Ben say.
+
+Mom smiles. She is proud of their curiosity. She helps them put everything back in its place.
+
+"Come on, it's time for lunch," she says.
+
+Anna and Ben follow Mom to the kitchen. They are hungry. They tell Mom what they have learned.
+
+Mom listens and nods. She gives them a hug and a kiss.
+
+"You are very smart," she says. "But you know what? You weigh more than the blanket. You weigh more than anything in your room. You weigh more than anything in the world to me."
+Lily was a bird who loved to fly. She flew high in the sky and saw many things. She saw trees and flowers and houses and cars. She saw other birds and animals and people. She liked to sing and make friends.
+
+One day, Lily found a big nest with many eggs. She was curious and flew closer. She saw that the eggs had different colors and patterns. She wondered who they belonged to.
+
+"Hello, who are you?" a voice said. Lily turned and saw a peacock. He had a long tail with many feathers. The feathers were shiny and beautiful. He looked proud and happy.
+
+"I'm Lily, a bird who loves to fly. And you?" Lily said.
+
+"I'm Peter, a famous peacock. These are my eggs. They are very special and rare. They will hatch soon and become my children. They will look like me and have long tails too." Peter said.
+
+"Wow, they are very pretty. Can I see them?" Lily asked.
+
+"Sure, but be careful. Don't touch them or break them. They are very precious and delicate." Peter said.
+
+Lily flew to the nest and looked at the eggs. She admired their colors and patterns. She wished she could have eggs like that. She wondered how they would look when they hatched.
+
+"Thank you for showing me your eggs. They are amazing. I hope they hatch soon and become your children. I'm sure they will be very happy and famous like you." Lily said.
+
+"You're welcome. Thank you for being nice and polite. You are a good bird and a good friend. Maybe you can come back and see them when they hatch. I would like that." Peter said.
+
+Lily smiled and nodded. She said goodbye to Peter and flew away. She felt happy and glad. She had seen something new and made a new friend. She loved to fly and explore the world.
+Lily liked to wear fancy ties to school. She had many ties with different colors and shapes. She felt happy when she put on a tie in the morning.
+
+One day, she wore her favorite tie. It was pink and had flowers on it. She showed it to her friends and they said it was pretty. Lily smiled and thanked them.
+
+But at recess, something bad happened. Lily was playing tag with her friends, and she ran very fast. She did not see the branch on the ground, and she tripped over it. She fell and scraped her knee. She cried and looked for her tie. It was gone!
+
+She searched everywhere, but she could not find it. She asked her friends, but they did not see it. She felt sad and angry. She had lost her fancy tie!
+
+She went to the teacher and told her what happened. The teacher hugged her and said she was sorry. She said maybe someone had found her tie and would give it back to her. She said she had a band-aid for her knee and a sticker for her shirt. She said she was proud of Lily for being brave and honest.
+
+Lily felt a little better. She thanked the teacher and put on the band-aid and the sticker. She hoped she would find her tie soon. She still liked to wear fancy ties to school.
+Ben and Lily liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big dragon. The dragon was green and soft, and it could make a loud roar. Ben and Lily liked to pretend that the dragon was their friend, and they took it everywhere.
+
+One day, Ben and Lily's mom said they had to mail a letter. She gave them a stamp and an envelope, and told them to go to the mailbox. Ben and Lily put the letter in the envelope, and stuck the stamp on it. Then they took the dragon and went outside.
+
+On the way to the mailbox, they saw a big dog. The dog was black and hairy, and it had sharp teeth. It barked at Ben and Lily, and ran towards them. Ben and Lily were scared, and they hugged the dragon. The dragon roared at the dog, and the dog stopped. The dog was afraid of the dragon, and it ran away.
+
+Ben and Lily were happy, and they thanked the dragon. They said, "You are a brave dragon, and you saved us from the dog. You are our best friend." The dragon smiled, and licked their faces.
+
+They reached the mailbox, and opened the slot. They tried to put the envelope in, but it was too big. They pushed and pulled, but it did not fit. They looked at the dragon, and had an idea. They said, "Maybe we can mail the dragon. He is soft, and he can squeeze in." The dragon did not like the idea, and he shook his head. He said, "No, no, no. I don't want to go in the mailbox. It is dark and small, and I will be uncomfortable. I want to stay with you."
+
+Ben and Lily realized that they were wrong. They said, "You are right, dragon. We are sorry. We don't want to mail you. We want to keep you with us. You are our friend, and we love you." They hugged the dragon, and he hugged them back. He said, "I love you too. You are my friends, and I want to play with you."
+
+They took the envelope out of the slot, and tore it open. They took the letter out, and folded it in half. Then they put it back in the envelope, and stuck the stamp on it. It was smaller now, and it fit in the slot. They closed the slot, and heard a click. They had mailed the letter.
+
+They smiled, and walked back home. They held the dragon's hand, and he held theirs. They were happy, and they learned a lesson. They learned that friends are more important than things, and that they should not hurt their friends' feelings. They learned to be kind and respectful, and to listen to their friends' wishes. They learned to love their dragon, and he loved them back.
+Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big house with a pointy roof and a black cat in the window. Lily said, "That is a witch's house. We should not go near it." Ben said, "No, that is not a witch's house. It is just a funny house. I want to see it." They disagreed and started to argue.
+
+A kind old lady came out of the house and saw them. She said, "Hello, children. Why are you fighting?" Lily and Ben told her what they thought about the house. The old lady smiled and said, "This is not a witch's house. It is my house. I like to paint it different colors and have a cat as a pet. I am not a witch, I am a teacher. Do you want to come in and have some cookies?" Lily and Ben looked at each other and felt ashamed. They said, "We are sorry, ma'am. We were wrong to judge your house and you. We would love to have some cookies. Thank you for being so kind."
+
+The old lady invited them in and gave them some cookies and milk. She also showed them her books and paintings and told them stories. Lily and Ben had a lot of fun and learned many new things. They became friends with the old lady and her cat. They also learned to be more respectful and curious and not to disagree over silly things. They realized that the house was not scary, but cheerful and cozy. They thanked the old lady and said goodbye. They went back to the park and played happily. They never fought again.
+Tom is a dog. He likes to play with his bone. He likes to dig holes and hide his bone. He thinks no one can find his bone.
+
+One day, he sees a new dog in the park. The new dog is big and brown. He has a bone too. Tom wants to be friends with the new dog. He runs to the new dog and says, "Hi, I am Tom. Do you want to play with me?"
+
+The new dog looks at Tom and says, "Hi, I am Max. Sure, I want to play with you. What do you like to play?"
+
+Tom says, "I like to play with my bone. I have a secret hole where I hide my bone. Do you want to see it?"
+
+Max says, "Yes, I want to see it. Show me your hole."
+
+Tom leads Max to his hole. He digs out his bone and shows it to Max. He says, "This is my bone. It is very nice. Do you like it?"
+
+Max says, "Yes, I like it. It is very nice. This is my bone." He shows his bone to Tom. It is bigger and shinier than Tom's bone.
+
+Tom says, "Wow, your bone is very big and shiny. Can I touch it?"
+
+Max says, "Yes, you can touch it. But be careful. It is very hard."
+
+Tom touches Max's bone. He feels how hard it is. He says, "Your bone is very hard. How did you get it?"
+
+Max says, "I got it from a man. He gave it to me. He said it is a special bone. He said it is a bone that can add."
+
+Tom says, "A bone that can add? What does that mean?"
+
+Max says, "It means that if you put two bones together, you get a bigger bone. Look, I will show you." He puts his bone next to Tom's bone. He says, "One bone plus one bone equals two bones. Two bones are bigger than one bone. See?"
+
+Tom looks at the two bones. He says, "Wow, that is amazing. Can I try it?"
+
+Max says, "Sure, you can try it. But you have to be careful. You have to say the right words. You have to say, 'One bone plus one bone equals two bones.' If you say something else, it will not work."
+
+Tom says, "OK, I will say the right words. I will say, 'One bone plus one bone equals two bones.'" He puts his bone next to Max's bone. He says, "One bone plus one bone equals two bones."
+
+But Tom is a silly dog. He does not say the right words. He says, "One bone plus one bone equals three bones."
+
+Suddenly, there is a loud noise. The two bones explode. They break into many small pieces. The pieces fly everywhere. They hit Tom and Max. They hurt them.
+
+Tom and Max cry. They say, "Ow, ow, ow. That hurts. What happened?"
+
+They look at the hole. There are no bones left. Only dust and smoke.
+
+Tom says, "Oh no, where are our bones? What did we do?"
+
+Max says, "We did something wrong. We did not say the right words. We said, 'One bone plus one bone equals three bones.' That is not true. That is silly. That is why our bones exploded."
+
+Tom says, "I am sorry, Max. I did not mean to say that. I was just trying to have fun. I did not know that your bone was so special. I did not know that it could add. I did not know that it could explode."
+
+Max says, "It is OK, Tom. I am sorry too. I should have told you more about my bone. I should have told you that it was a magic bone. I should have told you that it was a dangerous bone. I should have told you that it could only add with other magic bones. I should have told you that it could not add with normal bones."
+
+Tom says, "How did you get a magic bone? Where did the man get it from?"
+
+Max says, "I do not know. He did not tell me. He just gave it to me. He said it was a gift. He said it was a bone that could add. He said it was a bone that could make me happy. He said it was a bone that could make me smart. He said it was a bone that could make me rich. He said it was a bone that could make me anything I wanted."
+
+Tom says, "That sounds too good to be true. Maybe he was lying. Maybe he was tricking you. Maybe he was a bad man. Maybe he wanted to hurt you. Maybe he wanted
+One day, a little girl named Lily went to the park with her mom. She liked to play on the swings and slide, but she also liked to wander around and see new things. Her mom told her to stay close and not talk to strangers, but Lily did not always listen. She was not very obedient.
+
+Lily saw a big tree with many birds and squirrels. She wanted to go and watch them, so she ran away from her mom. She did not see a man hiding behind the tree. He was a thief. He saw Lily's shiny necklace and wanted to take it. He smiled and said, "Hello, little girl. What a pretty necklace you have. Can I see it?"
+
+Lily was curious and forgot what her mom said. She went closer to the man and showed him her necklace. He grabbed it and ran away. Lily was shocked and scared. She cried and shouted, "Mommy, mommy, help!"
+
+Her mom heard her and came running. She saw the thief and chased him. She was fast and brave. She caught him and took back the necklace. She hugged Lily and said, "Are you okay, my sweetie? I'm so glad you're safe. But you should never wander away from me or talk to strangers. They might hurt you or steal from you. You have to be obedient and listen to me. I love you and I want to protect you."
+
+Lily felt sorry and hugged her mom back. She said, "I'm sorry, mommy. I was wrong. I won't wander away or talk to strangers again. I love you too and I want to make you happy."
+
+They went back to the swings and slide and had fun together. Lily learned her lesson and was more obedient. She also learned to be careful and grateful for what she had.
+Lily and Ben like to play with their toys in the garden. They have a big net to catch bugs and a box to keep them. They also have a book with pictures of different bugs and their names.
+
+One day, they find a rare bug that they have never seen before. It has red and black spots and long wings. Lily wants to catch it and mark it in their book. Ben wants to let it go and watch it fly.
+
+"Look, Ben, it's a rare bug!" Lily says. "Let's catch it and put it in our box!"
+
+"No, Lily, it's too pretty to catch!" Ben says. "Let's leave it alone and see where it goes!"
+
+They start to argue and pull the net from each other. The bug sees them and flies away. Lily and Ben are sad and angry.
+
+They sit on the grass and don't talk to each other. They look at their book and their box and feel sorry. They miss their bug and their fun.
+
+After a while, they hear a buzzing sound. They look up and see the rare bug again. It lands on a flower near them and opens its wings. It looks at them and seems to smile.
+
+Lily and Ben smile too. They forget their fight and feel happy. They decide to share the net and the book. They watch the rare bug and learn more about it. They also look for other bugs and mark them in their book. They have a lot of fun and play nicely. They are good friends.
+Lily and Tom were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they went to the pond near their house. They saw many things in the pond: fish, frogs, ducks, and water bugs. They also saw something big and furry on the other side of the pond. It looked like a big brown dog, but it had a long tail and big teeth.
+
+"Look, Lily, what is that?" Tom asked, pointing at the furry thing.
+
+"I don't know, Tom. Maybe it is a dog. Let's go and see," Lily said, and started to walk around the pond.
+
+"Wait, Lily, it might not be a dog. It might be something else. Something bad," Tom said, feeling scared.
+
+But Lily did not listen. She wanted to see the furry thing up close. She walked faster and faster, until she was very near the furry thing. Then she saw that it was not a dog at all. It was a beaver, and it was not happy to see Lily. It made a loud noise and snapped its teeth at Lily.
+
+"Help, Tom, help!" Lily screamed, and ran away from the beaver.
+
+Tom heard Lily's scream and ran to help her. He grabbed her hand and pulled her away from the beaver. They ran back to their house, where their mom was waiting for them.
+
+"What happened, kids? Why are you so scared?" Mom asked, hugging them.
+
+"We saw a beaver, Mom. A big, furry, angry beaver. It snapped at Lily. It was scary," Tom said.
+
+"A beaver? Oh, dear. Beavers are not dogs, kids. They are wild animals. They live in the pond and build dams. They don't like people to bother them. You should not go near them. They can hurt you," Mom said.
+
+"We're sorry, Mom. We didn't know. We won't go near the beaver again. We promise," Lily and Tom said.
+
+Mom kissed them and said, "I'm glad you're safe, kids. Next time, be careful and listen to each other. And if you want to see a dog, you can play with Spot. He is a friendly, furry, happy dog. He won't snap at you."
+
+Lily and Tom smiled and hugged Spot, who wagged his tail and licked their faces. They learned their lesson and never went near the beaver again. They still liked to play outside, but they stayed away from the pond. They played with Spot, who was their best friend.
+Sara and Ben like to draw with crayons. They have many colors and papers. They draw houses, animals, flowers and cars. Sometimes they draw together and make a big picture.
+
+One day, they want to draw a landscape. A landscape is a picture of what you see outside. They see trees, hills, grass and sky. Sara starts to draw the sky with blue crayon. Ben starts to draw the grass with green crayon.
+
+"Can I add some clouds to the sky?" Sara asks Ben.
+
+"Sure, you can add some clouds. They are white and fluffy," Ben says.
+
+Sara adds some clouds with white crayon. She likes how they look. She adds more and more clouds. Soon, the sky is full of clouds.
+
+"Stop, Sara, stop!" Ben says. "You are adding too many clouds. There is no space for the sun. The landscape will be dark and sad."
+
+"No, Ben, no!" Sara says. "I like the clouds. They are pretty and soft. The landscape will be cozy and happy."
+
+They start to argue. They are both nervous. They do not want to ruin the picture. They do not want to hurt each other's feelings. They do not know what to do.
+
+Then, they hear a voice. It is their mom. She comes to see their picture.
+
+"Wow, what a beautiful landscape!" she says. "I love how you used different colors and shapes. You are both very creative and talented."
+
+Sara and Ben look at each other. They feel silly. They both smile.
+
+"Thank you, mom," they say.
+
+They hug each other. They hug their mom. They are happy. They decide to add a sun and a rainbow to the picture. They share their crayons. They finish their landscape. They are proud.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big tree with many birds. They wanted to see the birds up close. They found a ladder and climbed the tree.
+
+"Look, Ben, there is a nest!" Lily said. She pointed to a hole in the tree. She reached her hand inside. "Maybe there are eggs or baby birds!"
+
+But when she pulled out her hand, she screamed. There was no nest, only a pile of trash. There were old cans, papers, and banana peels. It was disgusting. Lily dropped the trash and wiped her hand on her shirt.
+
+"Yuck, Lily, that is not a nest, that is garbage!" Ben said. He laughed at Lily. "You are silly, you should not touch that!"
+
+Lily was angry and sad. She did not like Ben's laugh. She wanted to find a real nest. She looked around the tree. She saw another hole on the other side. She hoped there was a nest there.
+
+She ran to the hole and stuck her head inside. She did not see any trash. She saw something soft and brown. She smiled. She thought it was a nest. She called to Ben.
+
+"Ben, Ben, I found a nest! Come and see!"
+
+But Ben did not answer. He heard another sound. It was a loud growl. It came from the hole. Lily did not hear it. She was too happy.
+
+Ben looked at the hole. He saw two big eyes and a furry face. It was not a nest. It was a bear. The bear was angry. It did not like Lily in its home.
+
+"Run, Lily, run!" Ben shouted. He grabbed Lily's arm and pulled her out of the hole. They ran down the ladder and away from the tree.
+
+The bear roared and chased them. It was fast and strong. Lily and Ben were scared. They wished they never climbed the tree. They wished they never looked for a nest. They wished they listened to their mom, who told them not to play near the woods.
+Jill and Ben were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but their favorite was a silver train that their grandpa gave them. The train was shiny and made a loud sound when it moved on the tracks.
+
+One day, Jill and Ben wanted to play with the train outside. They asked their mom if they could take it to the garden. Their mom said yes, but she told them to be careful and not spoil the train. She said the train was old and special and they had to take good care of it.
+
+Jill and Ben promised to be careful and ran outside with the train. They set up the tracks on the grass and started to make the train go around. They had a lot of fun and pretended to be the driver and the passengers.
+
+But then, Ben had a careless idea. He saw a big puddle of water near the fence and wanted to make the train go through it. He thought it would be fun to see the water splash. He did not listen to Jill, who told him to stop and not spoil the train. He pushed the train faster and faster until it reached the puddle.
+
+Splash! The train went into the water and made a big mess. Jill and Ben heard a loud crack and saw the train stop moving. The water had broken the train and made it stop working. The silver train was not shiny anymore. It was wet and dirty and spoiled.
+
+Jill and Ben felt very sad and sorry. They knew they had done a bad thing and their mom and grandpa would be angry. They picked up the train and the tracks and ran back to the house. They hoped they could fix the train, but they did not know how. They wished they had been more careful and not spoiled the train.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to slide on the big metal slide. It was shiny and fast. But today, there was a problem. The slide was broken. There was a big hole in the middle of the slide.
+
+"Oh no!" Lily said. "We can't slide now. It's not safe."
+
+Ben was sad. He wanted to slide. He did not listen to Lily. He ran to the slide and climbed up the ladder. He did not see the hole. He slid down very fast. Then he fell through the hole and landed on the ground. He hurt his knee. He cried very loud.
+
+Lily ran to Ben. She saw his knee. It was red and bleeding. She felt sorry for Ben. She said, "Ben, you should have listened to me. The slide was broken. You were not careful. Now you are hurt."
+
+Ben looked at Lily. He saw her face. She was not angry. She was worried. He said, "Lily, I'm sorry. I was silly. I did not listen to you. You are a good friend. Can you help me?"
+
+Lily nodded. She took Ben's hand and helped him stand up. She said, "Come on, Ben. Let's go to the nurse. She will make your knee better. Then we can play something else. Maybe we can swing or run or draw."
+
+Ben smiled. He said, "Thank you, Lily. You are a good friend too. Can I hug you?"
+
+Lily smiled too. She said, "Yes, you can hug me. I like hugs. Hugs make me happy."
+
+They hugged each other. Then they walked to the nurse. They were still friends. They learned to be careful and to listen. They had a good day.
+Lily and Ben were restless. They wanted to go outside and play, but it was raining. They looked out the window and saw big puddles on the street.
+
+"Can we go out, Mom?" Lily asked.
+
+"Not now, sweetie. It's too wet and cold. Maybe later, when the rain stops," Mom said.
+
+Lily and Ben sighed. They tried to find something to do inside, but they were bored. They played with their toys, read some books, and drew some pictures, but nothing was fun.
+
+Then they heard a knock on the door. Mom opened it and saw a woman holding a small basket.
+
+"Hello, I'm Mrs. Lee, your new neighbor. I just moved in next door. I brought you some cookies to welcome you to the neighborhood," the woman said.
+
+"Thank you, that's very kind of you. Come in, please. I'm Mom, and these are my children, Lily and Ben," Mom said.
+
+Lily and Ben smiled. They liked cookies. They also liked the basket. It had a soft blanket and a furry toy inside.
+
+"What's that?" Ben asked, pointing to the toy.
+
+"That's my cat, Fluffy. He's very shy and scared of the rain, so I brought him with me. Do you like cats?" Mrs. Lee asked.
+
+"Yes, we do. We have a cat too. His name is Spot. He's hiding under the bed," Lily said.
+
+"Maybe they can be friends," Mrs. Lee said.
+
+Lily and Ben hoped so. They wanted to play with Fluffy. They thanked Mrs. Lee for the cookies and the basket. They invited her to sit on the couch and chat with Mom.
+
+They were not restless anymore. They were happy. They had a new friend and a new cat to play with. They forgot about the rain and the puddles. They hoped Mrs. Lee would come again. They wanted to welcome her to their home.
+Tim and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big pile of leaves and ran to it. They wanted to jump in the leaves and make noise.
+
+"Look, Tim, what is that?" Lily said, pointing to something shiny in the leaves.
+
+Tim went closer and saw a bone. He picked it up and smiled. "It is a skeleton, Lily. A skeleton is what you have inside you, under your skin. It makes you stand and move."
+
+"Wow, can I see?" Lily said, curious. She reached for the bone, but Tim pulled it away. "No, it is mine. I found it. You can find your own skeleton."
+
+Lily felt sad and angry. She wanted to see the skeleton too. She tried to grab the bone from Tim, but he pulled harder. They started to fight over the bone, pulling and pushing and yelling.
+
+Suddenly, they heard a loud roar. They looked up and saw a big bear. The bear was hungry and angry. It smelled the bone and wanted it. It ran towards Tim and Lily, showing its teeth and claws.
+
+Tim and Lily were scared. They dropped the bone and tried to run away, but it was too late. The bear was faster and stronger. It caught them and ate them. The bone was left in the leaves, alone and miserable. The end.
+Lily and Tom were playing with their toys in the living room. Lily had a doll and Tom had a car. They were having fun until Lily saw a kitten outside the window. She ran to the window and said, "Look, Tom, a kitten! It is so cute and fluffy. I want to pet it."
+
+Tom followed her and looked at the kitten. It was black and white and had a pink nose. He said, "It is cute, but we can't pet it. It is not our kitten. It belongs to someone else. Maybe it is lost. We should tell Mom."
+
+Lily shook her head and said, "No, Tom, I want to pet it. It is my kitten now. I will name it Snowy. You can play with your car. I will play with Snowy."
+
+Tom did not like Lily's idea. He thought she was being bossy and selfish. He said, "Lily, you can't keep the kitten. It is not fair. What if the kitten has a family that misses it? What if it is hungry or cold or scared? You have to share the kitten with me. We can both pet it and play with it."
+
+Lily did not listen to Tom. She opened the window and reached out to grab the kitten. But the kitten did not want to be grabbed. It hissed and scratched Lily's hand. Lily cried out and let go of the kitten. The kitten ran away and hid under a bush.
+
+Lily was sad and angry. She said, "Bad kitten! You hurt me! You are not my kitten anymore. You are a mean kitten. Go away!"
+
+Tom felt sorry for Lily. He said, "Lily, I'm sorry the kitten hurt you. But you should not have tried to take it. It was scared of you. You should have been gentle and friendly. Maybe then it would have liked you."
+
+Lily looked at her hand. It was red and sore. She said, "You are right, Tom. I was not nice to the kitten. I was bossy and greedy. I should have shared the kitten with you. I'm sorry, Tom. Can we still be friends?"
+
+Tom smiled and said, "Of course, Lily. We are always friends. Come on, let's go tell Mom what happened. Maybe she can help your hand. And maybe we can find the kitten's home. Or maybe we can ask her if we can get a kitten of our own. A nice kitten that likes us."
+
+Lily nodded and said, "OK, Tom. That sounds good. I love you, Tom. And I love kittens. But not bossy kittens."
+
+They hugged and went to find Mom. They hoped the kitten was OK. They wondered if they would ever see it again.
+One day, a boy named Ben saw a big rainbow in the sky. He liked the rainbow very much. It had many colors and it was bright. He wanted to see where the rainbow ended. He thought there might be something fun there.
+
+He asked his mom, "Can I follow the rainbow, mom?"
+
+His mom smiled and said, "Sure, Ben. But you have to be careful. The rainbow is very rare. It only comes when the weather is sunny and rainy at the same time. And it does not stay for long. It might disappear soon."
+
+Ben nodded and said, "Okay, mom. I will be quick. And I will come back soon."
+
+He ran outside and followed the rainbow. He looked at the sky and saw the colors. He felt happy and curious. He wondered what he would find at the end of the rainbow.
+
+He ran and ran until he reached a big hill. He climbed the hill and saw a big tree. Under the tree, he saw a small pot. The pot was shiny and had something inside. He went closer and looked. He saw many gold coins in the pot.
+
+He was surprised and excited. He said, "Wow! I found a pot of gold! This is amazing!"
+
+He heard a voice behind him. He turned and saw a small man. The man had a red beard and a green hat. He was smiling and holding a pipe.
+
+He said, "Hello, lad. You found my pot of gold. Well done. You are very lucky. The rainbow led you to me. I am a leprechaun. I live under the tree. And I guard the gold."
+
+Ben was amazed and scared. He said, "Hello, sir. I am sorry. I did not know this was your pot of gold. I was just following the rainbow. I did not mean to take your gold."
+
+The leprechaun laughed and said, "Don't worry, lad. I am not angry. I like you. You are brave and honest. You can have some of my gold. But not all of it. I need some for myself. And you have to promise me something. You have to keep this a secret. You cannot tell anyone about me or the gold. Do you understand?"
+
+Ben nodded and said, "Yes, sir. I understand. I promise. I will not tell anyone. Thank you for the gold. You are very kind."
+
+The leprechaun smiled and said, "You are welcome, lad. Now, hurry. The rainbow is fading. You have to go back to your mom. She might be worried. And remember, this is our secret. Goodbye, lad. And good luck."
+
+Ben said, "Goodbye, sir. And thank you again."
+
+He took some gold coins and put them in his pocket. He ran down the hill and followed the rainbow back to his home. He saw his mom waiting for him. He hugged her and said, "Mom, I am back. I had a great adventure. I saw something very rare. But I cannot tell you. It is a secret."
+
+His mom smiled and said, "I am glad you are back, Ben. And I am glad you had fun. I trust you, Ben. You can keep your secret. But you can also share it with me if you want. I love you, Ben."
+
+Ben smiled and said, "I love you too, mom. Maybe one day I will tell you. But not today. Today, I just want to hug you and show you something."
+
+He took out a gold coin and showed it to his mom. His mom gasped and said, "Wow, Ben. Where did you get this?"
+
+Ben winked and said, "It is a secret, mom. But it is from the rainbow. And it is very rare."
+Tommy loved to play with his toy car. It was red and shiny and made a loud noise when he pushed a button. But one day, the car stopped making noise. Tommy was sad. He looked at the car and saw a small door on the back. He opened it and saw a battery inside. The battery was old and dirty.

+Tommy ran to his mom and asked for a new battery. His mom said she did not have any. She said he had to wait until they went to the store. Tommy did not want to wait. He looked around the house and saw a big battery in the remote control. He thought it would fit in his car.
+
+He took the battery out of the remote and put it in his car. But it was too big. It did not fit. He tried to force it in, but it only made the car crack. He broke his car. He also broke the remote. He could not watch his favorite show. He was very sad.
+
+His mom came and saw what he had done. She was angry. She said he should not take things that did not belong to him. She said he should be patient and careful. She said he had to learn to respect his toys and other people's things. She said he had to say sorry and help fix the car and the remote.
+
+Tommy felt bad. He said sorry to his mom and to his car. He helped his mom glue the car back together. He also helped her find another battery for the remote. He learned his lesson. He decided to be more patient and careful next time. He hugged his mom and his car. He was happy again.

+Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big slide that looked very fun. Lily wanted to try it, but Ben was anxious. He was afraid of falling or getting hurt.
+
+"Come on, Ben, it's not scary. It's just a slide," Lily said. She ran to the ladder and climbed up. Ben stayed at the bottom and watched. He saw Lily sit on the slide and smile. She waved at him and said, "Ready, set, go!"
+
+Lily slid down the slide very fast. She laughed and enjoyed the wind in her hair. But then, something bad happened. There was a judge sitting on a bench near the slide. He was wearing a black robe and a white wig. He was reading a big book and did not see Lily coming. Lily did not see him either. She slid right into him and knocked him over. The book flew out of his hand and landed on the grass.
+
+The judge was very angry. He shouted at Lily and Ben. He said they were naughty and rude. He said they had to go to his office and get punished. Lily and Ben were scared. They did not want to go with the judge. They wanted to stay in the park and play.
+
+But then, they heard a familiar voice. It was their mom. She had come to pick them up. She saw what had happened and ran to them. She hugged them and said, "Are you okay, my darlings? I'm sorry, sir, they did not mean to hurt you. They were just playing on the slide. Please forgive them."
+
+The judge looked at their mom. He saw that she was kind and sincere. He felt sorry for being so harsh. He said, "It's okay, ma'am. I'm not hurt. I was just startled. I guess I should have paid more attention to my surroundings. I'm sorry, too, kids. I was too quick to judge. You can stay in the park and play. But be careful next time, okay?"
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They said, "Thank you, sir. We're sorry, too. We'll be careful next time." They smiled and hugged their mom. They were happy that she had come to save them. They were also happy that the judge had forgiven them. They learned a lesson that day. They learned to be brave, but also to be respectful. They learned that sometimes, things are not as scary or as bad as they seem. They learned that everyone makes mistakes, but everyone can also be kind.

+Ben comes to visit Anna. He sees her doll and wants to play with it. He asks Anna, "Can I play with your doll? She is very pretty."
+
+Anna says, "No, Ben. This is my doll. You can play with other toys, but not with my doll. She is mine."
+
+Ben feels sad and angry. He thinks Anna is not a good friend. He says, "You are not nice, Anna. You are selfish. You do not share. I do not want to play with you anymore."
+

+Anna and Ben were playing in their room. They had many toys and books on their shelf. They liked to make stories with their toys and read their books.
+
+"Anna, can you give me the blue car?" Ben asked. He wanted to make a race with his cars.
+
+"OK, here you go," Anna said. She reached for the shelf and took the blue car. But she was not careful and knocked down some books. The books fell on the floor with a loud noise.
+
+"Oh no, we made a mess!" Anna said. She felt sorry for the books.
+
+"Mommy will be angry," Ben said. He was scared of Mommy.
+
+"No, she won't. We can clean up," Anna said. She tried to be brave. "Remember, Mommy said we have to put our things back when we are done playing."
+
+"Yes, you are right. Let's do that," Ben said. He agreed with Anna.

+
+One day, Lily and Ben have a problem. They want to use the same block. It is a big red block. Lily says, "This is my block. I need it for my tower." Ben says, "No, this is my block. I need it for my car." They both pull the block. The block breaks in two. Lily and Ben are sad and angry.
+
+They go to their teacher, Mrs. Lee. Mrs. Lee asks, "What is the matter, Lily and Ben?" They tell her about the block. Mrs. Lee says, "I see. You both like the big red block. But you know, the blocks belong to everyone. They are for sharing and playing together. You can use other blocks to make your tower and your car. Or you can make something new with the two pieces of the big red block. What do you think?"
+
+Lily and Ben think for a moment. They look at the two pieces of the big red block. They look at the other blocks. They have an idea. They say, "We can make a bridge with the two pieces of the big red block. And we can make a train with the other blocks. Then we can play with the bridge and the train together."
+
+Mrs. Lee smiles. She says, "That is a good idea. I am glad you found a way to solve your problem. You are very smart and creative. Now, let's put the blocks in order. Then you can start to build your bridge and your train."
+
+Lily and Ben nod. They put the blocks in order. They find the blocks they need. They start to build their bridge and their train. They are happy and proud. They say, "Thank you, Mrs. Lee. You are a good teacher. We are sorry we broke the block. We will share and play nicely from now on."

+
+The dog sees the bag and sniffs it. It smells something good. It rips the bag open with its teeth and finds the coin. It thinks it is a snack. It bites the coin and tries to swallow it.
+
+But the coin is hard and metal. It hurts the dog's mouth and throat. It makes a terrible noise and spits out the coin. It whines and runs away.
+

+Ben and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to look at the flowers and the bugs. Lily saw a big spider on a leaf. She wanted to touch it.
+
+"Look, Ben, a spider!" she said.
+
+"Be careful, Lily. Spider can bite. Bite can hurt," Ben said.
+
+Lily did not listen. She reached out her hand to the spider. The spider was scared. It bit Lily's finger. Lily cried out loud.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow! Spider bit me! It hurts!" she said.
+
+Ben ran to her. He saw her finger was red and swollen. He was worried.
+
+"Come, Lily. We need to tell Mom. Mom can help. Maybe spider has poison. Poison can make you sick," he said.
+
+He took Lily's hand and led her to the house. Mom saw them and heard Lily's cry. She quickly took Lily to the bathroom. She washed Lily's finger with water and soap. She put some cream and a band-aid on it.
+
+"There, there. You'll be fine, Lily. The spider was not very bad. It did not have poison. The bite will heal soon. But next time, do not touch spiders. They do not like it," Mom said.
+
+Lily nodded. She was still sad, but she felt better. She hugged Mom and said sorry.
+
+"I'm sorry, Mom. I'm sorry, Ben. I was silly. I will not touch spiders again," she said.
+
+Mom and Ben smiled. They hugged Lily back.
+
+"It's okay, Lily. We love you. You are fine," they said.
+Tommy did not like gym. He thought it was terrible. He did not want to run, jump, or play with balls. He wanted to stay in the classroom and read books. He liked books. They had pictures and stories and words.
+
+But his teacher, Miss Lee, said he had to go to gym. She said it was good for him. She said it would make him strong and healthy and happy. She said he could read books later. She took him by the hand and led him to the gym.
+
+Tommy tried to resist. He pulled his hand away. He said, "No, no, no! I don't want to go to gym! I want to read books!" He stamped his feet and cried. He made a lot of noise.
+
+Miss Lee was not happy. She said, "Tommy, you have to go to gym. It is part of the school. You have to follow the rules. You have to be polite and respectful. You have to try new things. You might like gym if you give it a chance. Come on, let's go."
+
+Tommy did not listen. He kept resisting. He kept saying no. He kept crying. He made more noise.
+
+Miss Lee had no choice. She picked him up and carried him to the gym. She put him down on a mat. She said, "Tommy, you have to stay here until you calm down. You have to watch the other kids. You have to see how they have fun. You have to learn from them. Maybe you will change your mind."
+
+Tommy was very angry. He did not want to stay on the mat. He did not want to watch the other kids. He did not want to see how they had fun. He did not want to learn from them. He did not want to change his mind. He crossed his arms and pouted. He looked away.
+
+But after a while, he got bored. He got curious. He peeked at the other kids. He saw how they ran, jumped, and played with balls. He saw how they laughed, smiled, and cheered. He saw how they helped, shared, and praised each other. He saw how they had fun.
+
+He felt a little bit of envy. He felt a little bit of interest. He felt a little bit of courage. He thought, maybe gym was not so terrible. Maybe he could try it. Maybe he could have fun.
+
+He got up from the mat. He walked to Miss Lee. He said, "Miss Lee, I'm sorry. I was wrong. I want to go to gym. I want to try new things. I want to have fun. Can I join the other kids?"
+
+Miss Lee was very happy. She said, "Tommy, I'm proud of you. You were brave. You changed your mind. You can join the other kids. You can go to gym. You can have fun."
+
+Tommy smiled. He said, "Thank you, Miss Lee. You were right. Gym is good for me. It makes me strong and healthy and happy. I like gym. I like books too. But I can read books later."
+
+He ran to the other kids. He jumped, played, and laughed with them. He had fun. He learned a lesson. He learned to resist less and try more. He learned to be open and flexible. He learned to enjoy gym and books. He learned to be a good student.
+Anna loved her kitten, Spot. She gave him milk and toys and cuddles. She was very happy with him. But one day, her grandma came to visit. Grandma was elderly and had a cane. She did not like Spot. She said he was noisy and messy and scratched her furniture.
+
+Anna was sad and angry. She did not want Grandma to be mean to Spot. She wanted Grandma to care for him like she did. She tried to show Grandma how cute and funny Spot was. She played with him and made him purr. But Grandma only frowned and shooed him away.
+
+Anna did not know what to do. She did not want to hurt Grandma's feelings, but she did not want to lose Spot either. She thought hard and had an idea. She found a soft blanket and a basket. She put Spot in the basket and covered him with the blanket. She brought the basket to Grandma and said, "Grandma, I have a present for you. It is something warm and cozy and quiet. I hope you like it."
+
+Grandma was curious. She lifted the blanket and saw Spot. She was surprised and a little scared. But Spot did not hiss or scratch. He looked at Grandma with big eyes and rubbed his head on her hand. He seemed to say, "Please, be my friend." Grandma felt something in her heart. She smiled and stroked Spot's fur. She said, "Thank you, Anna. This is a very nice present. Maybe I was wrong about Spot. Maybe he is not so bad after all. Maybe I can care for him a little."
+
+Anna was happy. She hugged Grandma and Spot. She said, "I'm glad you like him, Grandma. He likes you too. He is a good kitten. And you are a good grandma. I love you both." Grandma and Spot both purred. They all felt warm and cozy and happy.

+"Hello, kids. What is the problem?" he asks.
+
+They tell him about the shell. He looks at it.
+

+
+Sara and Ben think about it. They do not want to fight. They want to be nice. They nod.
+
+"Yes, we want to share the shell," they say.
+
+"Good. Then I have an idea. How about you take turns to keep the shell? One day, Sara can keep it. The next day, Ben can keep it. And so on. That way, you can both enjoy it. And you can also enjoy each other. What do you think?" he asks.
+
+Sara and Ben like the idea. They agree.
+

+Lily was an independent girl. She liked to do things by herself. She did not like to wear the shoes that her mom gave her. She said they were too tight and too pink.
+
+One day, Lily found a big sack in the garage. She had an idea. She put all her shoes in the sack and tied it with a rope. She dragged the sack to the park. She wanted to trade her shoes for something else.
+
+At the park, she saw a boy with a bike. She liked the bike. It was blue and shiny. She asked the boy, "Do you want to trade your bike for my shoes?"
+
+The boy looked at the sack. He was curious. He said, "How many shoes do you have?"
+
+Lily said, "A lot. More than you can count. They are all different and pretty. You can have them all for your bike."
+
+The boy thought for a moment. He liked his bike, but he also liked shoes. He said, "OK, let me see your shoes."
+
+Lily opened the sack and showed him the shoes. The boy was surprised. He saw that the shoes were all too small and too pink for him. He said, "These shoes are not for me. They are for girls. And they are too tight and too pink. I don't want them. I want my bike back."
+
+Lily was sad. She did not want to keep her shoes. She wanted the bike. She said, "Please, take my shoes. They are very nice. You can give them to your sister or your friend. Please, let me have your bike."
+
+The boy shook his head. He said, "No, thank you. I like my bike. It is mine. You can keep your shoes. They are yours."
+
+He took his bike and rode away. Lily was left with the sack of shoes. She did not know what to do with them. She wished she had listened to her mom.

She learned that sometimes it is better to be happy with what you have.
+Lila and Tom were friends who liked to play in the park. They liked to swing, slide and whistle. They whistled loud and happy, like birds. One day, they saw a big truck in the park. It was shiny and modern. It had many buttons and lights.
+
+"Wow, look at that truck!" Lila said. "It looks fun!"

+"Let's go see it!" Tom said. They ran to the truck and climbed inside. They saw a basket of grapes on the seat. They were hungry and took some grapes.
+
+"Mmm, these are yummy!" Lila said. She ate a grape and whistled.
+
+"Me too!" Tom said. He ate a grape and whistled.
+
+But the grapes were not for them. They were for the truck driver. He was angry when he saw the children in his truck. He yelled at them and grabbed them.
+
+"Hey, what are you doing here? These are my grapes! Get out of my truck!" He threw them out of the truck and drove away.
+
+Lila and Tom were scared and sad. They had bruises and scratches. They lost their grapes and their whistles. They cried and ran to their moms.

+
+Ben runs to Lila and helps her. He wraps his scarf around her hand. He speaks to the dog. He says, "Bad dog! Go away!" The dog runs away.
+
+Lila and Ben go to the nurse. The nurse cleans Lila's hand and puts a bandage on it. She says, "You are lucky, Lila. The dog did not bite you hard. But you should not go to strange dogs. They can be dangerous. You should listen to your friend. He was trying to protect you."
+
+Lila says, "I am sorry, Ben. You were right. I was wrong. I should have listened to you. Thank you for helping me. You are a good friend."
+
+Ben says, "It's okay, Lila. I am glad you are okay. You are a good friend, too. Next time, let's play with the ducks. They are nice and do not bite."
+
+Lila and Ben hug. They learn a lesson. They learn to be careful with animals. They learn to speak to each other and listen. They learn to be good friends. They are happy. They are lucky. They enjoy the silence.
+Sam liked trains very much. He had many toy trains that he played with every day. He also liked to watch real trains go by on the tracks near his house. Sometimes, he asked his mom to take him to the train station, where he could see big trains and hear their loud horns.
+
+One day, Sam and his mom went for a walk to the train station. Sam was very happy and excited. He wanted to see all the trains and maybe even ride on one. He held his mom's hand and walked fast. But when they got to the station, Sam saw a sign that said "No trains today". He was very sad and angry. He did not understand why there were no trains.
+
+"Mom, why are there no trains?" he asked.
+
+"Because there is a problem with the tracks, Sam. They have to fix them, so the trains can't come today. I'm sorry, honey. Maybe we can come back another day," his mom said.
+
+"No! I want to see trains now! I want to ride on a train now!" Sam shouted. He let go of his mom's hand and ran to the gate. He tried to open it, but it was locked. He kicked it and cried. He was very stubborn.
+
+"Sam, stop that! You can't go there. It's not safe. Come back here, please," his mom said. She ran after him and tried to catch him. But Sam was too fast and too stubborn. He ran away from his mom and looked for a way to get to the tracks.
+
+He saw a hole in the fence and crawled through it. He was on the other side, where the tracks were. He was happy. He thought he could find a train there. He did not see the danger sign or the workers with tools. He did not hear his mom calling his name or the sirens of the police. He only saw the tracks and walked on them.
+
+But then, he heard a loud horn. He turned around and saw a big train coming fast. He was scared. He did not know what to do. He froze on the tracks. He wished he had listened to his mom.
+
+The train driver saw Sam and tried to stop the train. He pushed the brakes and pulled the horn. He hoped he could stop in time. He hoped Sam would move away. He was worried.
+
+Sam's mom saw the train and Sam. She was terrified. She screamed and ran to the fence. She tried to break it and get to Sam. She hoped the train would stop. She hoped Sam would be safe. She was sorry.
+
+The train stopped. It was very close to Sam, but it did not hit him. Sam was still on the tracks, but he was alive. He was lucky. He was shocked. He cried.
+
+The train driver got out of the train and ran to Sam. He picked him up and carried him to the fence. He gave him to his mom. He was relieved. He was angry.
+
+"Are you okay, Sam? Are you hurt?" his mom asked. She hugged him and kissed him. She was grateful. She was sad.
+
+"I'm okay, mom. I'm sorry, mom," Sam said. He hugged her and kissed her. He was sorry. He was scared.
+
+"What were you thinking, Sam? Do you know how dangerous that was? Do you know how much you scared me and the train driver and everyone else? Do you know how lucky you are?" his mom asked. She was worried. She was mad.
+
+"I wanted to see trains, mom. I wanted to ride on a train, mom. I was stubborn, mom. I did not listen to you, mom. I was wrong, mom," Sam said. He was ashamed. He was sorry.
+
+"Yes, you were, Sam. You were very stubborn and very wrong. You did not listen to me or the sign or the workers or the sirens. You did not think about the consequences or the danger. You only thought about yourself and what you wanted. You were very selfish and very foolish, Sam," his mom said. She was disappointed. She was stern.
+
+"I know, mom. I'm sorry, mom. I love you, mom," Sam said. He was sincere. He was sorry.
+
+"I love you too, Sam. But I'm also very angry with you. You have to learn to listen and obey and respect. You have to learn to be patient and sensible and careful. You have to learn to be a good boy, Sam. Do you understand?" his mom said. She was loving. She was firm.
+
+"I understand, mom. I will try to be a good boy, mom. I will listen and obey and respect. I will be patient and sensible and careful. I will not be stubborn and wrong again, mom. I promise, mom," Sam said. He

+Sara and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to skip and jump and run. They saw a big man with a shiny hat and a long coat. He was walking very fast and looking around.
+
+"Who is he?" Sara asked Ben.
+
+"Maybe he is a king," Ben said. "He has a hat like a king."
+
+"Let's say hello to him," Sara said. She skipped to the big man and smiled. "Hello, king. Do you want to play with us?"
+
+The big man stopped and looked at Sara. He was confused. He was not a king. He was a spy. He was looking for a secret place. He did not want to play.
+
+"Hello, little girl," he said. "I'm sorry, but I can't play with you. I have to go."
+
+"Where are you going?" Ben asked. He skipped to the big man too.

+
+"The zoo?" Sara and Ben said. They liked the zoo. They liked to see the animals.
+
+"Can we go with you?" Sara asked.
+
+"No, no, you can't," the big man said. He was nervous. He saw a car with two men inside. They were his enemies. They were looking for him too.
+
+"Please, please, let us go," Ben said. He pulled the big man's coat.
+
+"Stop, stop, let me go," the big man said. He pushed the children away. He ran to the car. He opened the door and got inside. He drove away very fast.
+
+Sara and Ben watched the car disappear. They were confused. They did not understand.
+
+"Why did he go?" Sara asked.
+
+"I don't know," Ben said. "Maybe he was not a king. Maybe he was a bad man."
+
+"Or maybe he was a silly man," Sara said. "He did not know how to have fun."
+
+They shrugged and smiled. They did not care. They skipped and jumped and ran. They played in the park. They had fun.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a ball and a bike. Lily owns the ball and Ben owns the bike.
+
+One day, they see a big tap in the park. It is shiny and has a handle. Lily wants to turn the handle and see the water. Ben says, "No, Lily, do not touch the tap. It is not ours. It is for the flowers and the grass."
+
+But Lily is curious and clumsy. She runs to the tap and pulls the handle. The water comes out very fast and very high. It splashes Lily and Ben and the ball and the bike. They are all wet and cold.
+
+Lily and Ben are scared and sorry. They run away from the tap. They hear a voice behind them. It is the gardener. He is angry and shouts, "Hey, you two, what did you do to my tap? You made a big mess. Come back here and say sorry."
+
+Lily and Ben stop and turn around. They see the gardener and his hose. They feel bad and say, "Sorry, sir, we did not mean to break your tap. We were just playing. Please do not be mad at us."
+
+The gardener sees their wet clothes and their sad faces. He is not so angry anymore. He says, "Well, I guess you learned your lesson. Next time, do not touch things that are not yours. And be careful, water can be dangerous. Now go home and dry yourselves. And take your ball and your bike with you."
+
+Lily and Ben nod and say, "Thank you, sir, we will. And we are very sorry again." They pick up their ball and their bike and run home. They hope the gardener will fix his tap and the flowers and the grass will be happy. They also hope their parents will not be too mad at them. They decide to play with something else next time.
+Lily and Max were playing in the park with their toy cars. They liked to pretend they were racing and chasing each other. Lily had a red car and Max had a blue car.
+
+"Vroom, vroom, I'm faster than you!" Lily said, zooming past Max.
+
+"No, you're not, I'll catch you!" Max said, following her.
+
+They drove their cars around the swings, the slide and the sandbox. They had a lot of fun, but they also made a lot of noise.
+
+"Shh, kids, be quiet, please," a man said. He was sitting on a bench, reading a book. He had thick glasses and a thick beard. He looked grumpy.
+
+Lily and Max did not listen. They kept playing and shouting.
+
+"Vroom, vroom, I'm the police, you're a robber!" Max said, bumping into Lily's car.
+
+"Hey, stop that, you're cheating!" Lily said, pushing him back.
+
+The man on the bench got angry. He put down his book and walked towards them.
+
+"That's enough, you two, give me your cars, now!" he said, reaching for their toys.
+
+Lily and Max were scared. They did not want to lose their cars. They did not know what to do.
+
+"Please, mister, don't take our cars, we're sorry, we'll be quiet," Lily said, holding her car tight.
+
+"Yeah, please, mister, we're just playing, we'll go somewhere else," Max said, hiding his car behind his back.
+
+The man did not care. He grabbed their cars and put them in his pocket.
+
+"Too late, you should have listened, these are mine now," he said, walking away.
+
+Lily and Max started to cry. They felt sad and angry. They wanted their cars back.
+
+"Hey, you, give them back, that's not fair, that's not yours!" a voice said.
+
+Lily and Max looked up. They saw a big man standing in front of them. He had a uniform and a badge. He was a real police officer. He had a big automobile parked nearby.
+
+The police officer saw the man with the thick glasses and the thick beard. He recognized him. He was a bad man. He had stolen many things before.
+
+"Stop, you, I know you, you're a thief, surrender, or I'll arrest you!" the police officer said, running after him.
+
+The thief was scared. He did not want to go to jail. He dropped the toy cars and ran away.
+
+The police officer caught him and put him in his automobile. He locked the door and turned on the siren.
+
+"Bye, bye, thief, you're going to jail, you'll learn your lesson," the police officer said, driving away.
+
+Lily and Max were happy. They got their cars back. They thanked the police officer.
+
+"Thank you, sir, you're a hero, you saved our cars," Lily said, smiling.
+
+"Yeah, thank you, sir, you're awesome, you caught the thief," Max said, cheering.
+
+The police officer smiled. He was glad he could help.
+
+"You're welcome, kids, you're very brave, you did the right thing, you told the truth," the police officer said, waving.
+
+Lily and Max waved back. They hugged their cars. They learned a lesson, too. They decided to be quiet and respectful when they played. They did not want to bother anyone. They did not want to meet another thief. They wanted to have fun and be safe.
+Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to gather leaves and make piles. They found a big place under a tree where they could put their leaves.
+
+"Look, we have so many leaves!" Ben said. "We can make a big fort!"
+
+"Yes, let's do that!" Lily said. "We can pretend we are kings and queens!"
+
+They started to build their fort with the leaves. They made walls and a door and a roof. They were having fun.
+
+But then, a big dog came. It was black and brown and had a fierce bark. It saw the leaves and wanted to play with them. It ran towards the fort and jumped on it. It made the leaves fly everywhere.
+
+"Hey, stop that!" Ben shouted. "That's our fort!"
+
+"Go away, dog!" Lily cried. "You are ruining our game!"
+
+The dog did not listen. It kept barking and jumping and playing with the leaves. Ben and Lily were scared and angry. They tried to chase the dog away, but it was too fast and strong.
+
+They did not know what to do. They felt sad and wanted their fort back. They looked for help.
+
+They saw a man walking by. He had a leash in his hand. He was the dog's owner.
+
+"Sir, sir, please help us!" Ben and Lily called. "Your dog is destroying our fort!"
+
+The man heard them and saw the mess. He felt sorry for them. He called his dog and put the leash on him.
+
+"I'm so sorry, kids," he said. "My dog is very playful, but he doesn't know how to behave. He likes leaves, but he shouldn't ruin your fort."
+
+He made his dog sit and say sorry. He helped Ben and Lily gather the leaves again. He helped them rebuild their fort. He gave them a smile and a pat.
+
+"Thank you, sir," Ben and Lily said. "You are very nice."
+
+"You're welcome, kids," he said. "Have fun with your fort. And don't worry, my dog won't bother you again."
+
+He took his dog and walked away. Ben and Lily waved goodbye. They went back to their fort. They were happy again. They played kings and queens until it was time to go home.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big bus on the road. The bus is red and smooth. It has many windows and doors.
+
+"Wow, look at the bus!" Lily says. "It is so big and shiny. I want to ride on the bus. Do you want to ride on the bus, Ben?"
+
+Ben nods. He likes the bus too. He wants to see what is inside the bus. He wants to sit on the seats and look out the windows.
+
+"Let's go to the bus stop," Lily says. "Maybe we can get on the bus."
+
+They run to the bus stop. They see a sign with a picture of a bus. They wait for the bus to come. They see other people waiting too. Some people have bags and coats. Some people have books and toys.
+
+Soon, they hear a loud sound. It is the bus. The bus stops at the bus stop. The doors open. The people get on the bus. Lily and Ben follow them.
+
+"Hello, little ones," the bus driver says. "Where are you going?"
+
+Lily and Ben do not know. They look at each other. They do not have tickets or money. They do not have a place to go.
+
+"We just want to see the bus," Lily says.
+
+The bus driver smiles. He is kind and friendly. He likes children.
+
+"Well, you can see the bus, but you have to pay for the ride," he says. "Do you have any money?"
+
+Lily and Ben shake their heads. They do not have any money.
+
+"Then you cannot ride on the bus," the bus driver says. "You have to get off the bus. The bus is for people who pay."
+
+Lily and Ben feel sad. They want to ride on the bus. They want to see the bus. But they have to get off the bus. They say sorry to the bus driver. They get off the bus.
+
+The bus driver waves to them. He says, "Maybe next time, you can ride on the bus. But you have to save some money first. And you have to ask your parents first. OK?"
+
+Lily and Ben nod. They say, "OK."
+
+They watch the bus drive away. They see the red and smooth bus disappear. They go back to the park. They play with their toys. They talk about the bus. They say, "Maybe next time, we can ride on the bus."
+Anna and Ben were playing in the garden. They had a big box and some paper and crayons. They wanted to make a castle and be a king and a queen.
+
+"I will be the king and you will be the queen," said Ben. He cut out a crown from the paper and colored it yellow. He put it on his head and smiled.
+
+"OK, but I want a crown too," said Anna. She cut out another crown from the paper and colored it pink. She put it on her head and twirled.
+
+They took the box and turned it upside down. They cut out a door and some windows. They drew some flags and flowers on the box. They had a brilliant castle.
+
+They went inside the castle and sat on some pillows. They pretended to have a feast. They had some cookies and juice and some toy dishes.
+
+"I will serve you, my queen," said Ben. He took a cookie and gave it to Anna.
+
+"Thank you, my king," said Anna. She took a sip of juice and gave it to Ben.
+
+They ate and drank and laughed. They had a lot of fun. They were a happy king and queen.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to slide, swing and run. But they did not like to share. Lily saw a big boot on the grass. It was brown and shiny. She wanted to try it on.
+
+"Look, Ben, a boot!" she said. "I want to wear it."
+
+"No, I want to wear it!" Ben said. He ran to the boot and grabbed it.
+
+"Give it to me!" Lily said. She pulled the boot.
+
+"No, it's mine!" Ben said. He pulled harder.
+
+They both pulled and pulled. The boot was very strong. It did not break. But Lily and Ben fell down. They bumped their heads. They started to weep.
+
+A man came to them. He was wearing a hat and a coat. He had a modest smile. He was the owner of the boot.
+
+"Hello, children," he said. "Why are you weeping?"
+
+They told him about the boot. They said they both wanted to wear it.
+
+The man looked at the boot. He looked at Lily and Ben. He had an idea.
+
+"Why don't you take turns?" he said. "You can each wear the boot for a little while. Then you can give it back to me. How does that sound?"
+
+Lily and Ben stopped weeping. They liked the idea. They said sorry to each other. They said thank you to the man.
+
+They took turns wearing the boot. They had fun. They learned to share. The man was happy. He gave them a hug. He took his boot and left.
+
+Lily and Ben waved goodbye. They went back to playing. They were friends again.
+Tom and Lily went to the zoo with their mom. They saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and birds. They liked the animals, but they wanted to see the hippos most of all. Mom said they could choose one animal to feed.
+
+Tom and Lily ran to the hippo pool. They saw a big hippo and a small hippo. The big hippo had no hair on his head. He was bald. The small hippo had some hair. He was not bald.
+
+"I want to feed the bald hippo," Tom said. "He looks funny."
+
+"I want to feed the not bald hippo," Lily said. "He looks cute."
+
+They each took a carrot from the basket. They held the carrots over the fence. The hippos opened their mouths.
+
+"Be careful," Mom said. "Hippos have big teeth. Don't get too close."
+
+But Tom and Lily did not listen. They wanted to see the hippos better. They leaned over the fence. They reached out their hands.
+
+The bald hippo saw Tom's hand. He thought it was a carrot. He snapped his jaws. He bit Tom's hand. Tom screamed. He dropped his carrot.
+
+The not bald hippo saw Lily's hand. He thought it was a carrot. He snapped his jaws. He bit Lily's hand. Lily screamed. She dropped her carrot.
+
+Mom heard the screams. She ran to the fence. She saw the blood. She saw the hippos chewing. She was scared. She called for help.
+
+The zookeepers came. They used sticks and water to make the hippos let go. They took Tom and Lily to the hospital. They had to stitch their hands. They had to stay in bed. They cried a lot.
+
+Mom was sad. She said, "You should have listened to me. You should not have chosen to feed the hippos. You should have chosen a safer animal. Now you are hurt. And the hippos are still hungry."
+Sara and Ben are playing with paper and scissors. They like to cut shapes and make animals and flowers. Sara has a big scissors and Ben has a small scissors. They are careful not to hurt themselves or each other.
+
+"Look, I made a butterfly!" Sara says, holding up her paper. "It has blue wings and yellow spots."
+
+"That's pretty!" Ben says. "I made a lion. It has orange fur and a brown mane."
+
+They show each other their paper animals and smile. They are proud of their work.
+
+Then they hear a noise. It is their dog, Spot. Spot is curious and hungry. He sees the paper animals on the floor and thinks they are food. He runs to them and starts to chew them.
+
+"Hey, stop that!" Sara shouts. "You are ruining our animals!"
+
+"Bad dog!" Ben says. "Drop it, drop it!"
+
+They try to take the paper away from Spot, but he is too fast and strong. He chews and tears the paper with his teeth. He does not listen to Sara and Ben.
+
+Sara and Ben are sad and angry. They worked hard to make their animals. They think they are important and beautiful. They do not like that Spot destroyed them.
+
+They go to their mom and tell her what happened. Their mom hugs them and says she is sorry. She says Spot did not know better and he was just playing. She says they can make new animals with new paper and scissors. She says she loves them and their animals.
+
+Sara and Ben feel better. They forgive Spot and give him a pat. They go back to their paper and scissors and start again. They hope Spot will not chew their animals again. They think he should chew his own toys.
+Ben liked to wrap things. He wrapped his toys, his books, his pillow, even his cat. He used paper, tape, ribbons, and stickers. He said he was making presents for his family and friends. He had a big pile of wrapped things in his room.
+
+One day, his mom told him that Sunday was Grandma's birthday. She asked him if he wanted to make a card for her. Ben said yes, but he had a better idea. He ran to his room and looked for the best thing to wrap for Grandma. He saw his teddy bear, his ball, his car, but none of them seemed good enough. Then he saw it: his dad's tall hat. His dad wore it when he went to work. It was black and shiny and had a feather on it. Ben thought Grandma would love it. He took it from the closet and wrapped it with red paper and a big bow.
+
+On Sunday, Ben and his mom and dad went to Grandma's house. Grandma was happy to see them. She hugged and kissed them and gave them cake. Then she opened her presents. She got a scarf, a book, a necklace, and some flowers. She thanked everyone and smiled. Then she saw Ben's present. She wondered what it was. She opened it and gasped. It was the tall hat. She looked at Ben and then at his dad. His dad looked surprised and a little angry. Ben looked proud and happy. He said, "Happy birthday, Grandma! I wrapped it for you. Do you like it?"
+
+Grandma looked at the hat and then at Ben. She saw his big eyes and his sweet smile. She knew he meant well. She decided to be nice. She put the hat on her head and said, "Thank you, Ben. It's a very nice hat. You are very thoughtful. But maybe you should ask your dad before you wrap his things, okay?" Ben nodded and hugged her. He said, "Okay, Grandma. I love you." Grandma said, "I love you too, Ben." She looked at the hat and laughed. She thought it was funny. She thought Ben was funny. She thought it was a good birthday.
+Lily liked to read books with her mom. She liked to look at the pictures and hear the stories. Sometimes, she would try to read the words by herself, but they were hard.
+
+One day, she found a big book on the shelf. It had a shiny cover with a dragon and a castle. She wanted to read it. She took it to her mom and asked, "Can we read this book, please?"
+
+Her mom smiled and said, "Sure, but this book is very long and has many pages. Maybe we can read a little bit every day, okay?"
+
+Lily nodded and opened the book. She saw a map with many names and places. She tried to say them, but they made her tongue twist. She felt dizzy. She turned the page and saw a picture of a boy with a sword and a girl with a bow. They looked brave and strong. She wanted to know what they did.
+
+She asked her mom, "Who are they? What are they doing?"
+
+Her mom said, "They are the heroes of the story. They are going to fight the dragon and save the castle. But they have to face many dangers and enemies along the way. Do you want to hear more?"
+
+Lily said, "Yes, yes, please!"
+
+Her mom smiled and began to read. She read with a loud and clear voice. She made the sounds of the dragon and the sword and the bow. She made Lily laugh and gasp and wonder. Lily listened with wide eyes and open ears. She forgot about the dizzy words and the many pages. She only wanted to hear the story. She covered herself with a blanket and cuddled with her mom. She felt happy and cozy. She loved to read books with her mom.
+Jill likes to read books. She has many books with nice pictures and stories. She likes to turn the pages and look at the words. Sometimes she reads to her teddy bear, who listens very well.
+
+One day, Jill finds a new book on the shelf. It is big and shiny, with a picture of a castle on the cover. Jill is curious and excited. She takes the book and sits on the couch with her teddy bear. She opens the book and sees a map of the castle and the land around it. She wants to explore the castle and the land.
+
+She turns the page and sees a picture of a princess in a beautiful dress. She turns the page again and sees a picture of a dragon in a dark cave. She turns the page again and sees a picture of a knight in shiny armor. She turns the page again and sees a picture of a wizard in a tall hat. She turns the page again and sees a picture of a magic potion in a glass bottle.
+
+Jill is amazed and happy. She wants to see what happens next. She turns the page again, but she is too fast and careless. She tears the page by accident. She is sad and scared. She tries to fix the page, but it is too late. The page is ripped and the picture is ruined.
+
+She hears a noise and looks up. She sees her mom coming into the room. She is holding a cup of tea. She smiles and says, "Hi, Jill. What are you reading?" She walks towards the couch. She does not see the ripped page on the floor.
+
+Jill is worried and nervous. She does not want her mom to see the ripped page. She does not want her mom to be angry or sad. She tries to hide the page under the book, but it is too big and obvious. She tries to hide the page under the teddy bear, but it is too small and soft. She tries to hide the page under the pillow, but it is too lumpy and bumpy.
+
+She does not know what to do. She looks at the book, the teddy bear, the pillow, and the ripped page. She looks at her mom, who is getting closer and closer. She looks at the cup of tea, which is hot and steaming. She has an idea. She grabs the cup of tea and pours it on the book, the teddy bear, the pillow, and the ripped page. She hopes her mom will not notice the ripped page.
+
+She is wrong. Her mom notices everything. She sees the wet book, the wet teddy bear, the wet pillow, and the wet ripped page. She is shocked and angry. She says, "Jill, what have you done? Why did you pour tea on everything? You ruined the book and the teddy bear and the pillow and the page. You made a big mess. You are in big trouble."
+
+Jill is sorry and sad. She says, "I'm sorry, mom. I did not mean to. I was reading the book and I liked it very much. But I ripped the page and I did not want you to see it. I was scared and I did not know what to do. I poured the tea to hide the page. I was silly and stupid."
+
+Her mom is still angry, but she is also sorry and sad. She says, "Jill, I understand that you were scared and you did not know what to do. But you should have told me the truth. You should not have poured the tea on everything. You should have been careful and gentle with the book and the teddy bear and the pillow and the page. They are nice and precious and they do not deserve to be wet and ripped. You should have been respectful and responsible."
+
+Jill nods and says, "I know, mom. I'm sorry. I will be respectful and responsible. I will be careful and gentle. I will tell you the truth. I will not pour tea on anything again."
+
+Her mom hugs her and says, "I love you, Jill. I forgive you. But you have to clean up the mess and apologize to the book and the teddy bear and the pillow and the page. And you have to read another book, a nice and dry one, and learn from it."
+
+Jill hugs her back and says, "I love you, mom. I thank you. I will clean up the mess and apologize to the book and the teddy bear and the pillow and the page. And I will read another book, a nice and dry one, and learn from it."
+
+They smile and kiss and start to clean up the mess. They find another book, a nice and dry one, and read it together. They enjoy the pictures and the stories. They turn the pages and look at the words. They read to each other and to the
+Sara and Ben are playing with their toy cars in the living room. They make them zoom on the carpet, on the sofa, and on the table. They pretend they are racing drivers and make loud noises.
+
+"Zoom, zoom, zoom! I am faster than you!" Ben says.
+
+"No, you are not! I am faster than you!" Sara says.
+
+They zoom their cars towards each other and make them crash. They laugh and pick up their cars.
+
+"Let's have a snack," Sara says. "I am hungry."
+
+"Me too," Ben says. "What do we have?"
+
+They go to the kitchen and look for something to eat. They see a bowl of lemons on the counter.
+
+"Lemons!" Sara says. "They are yellow and round. They look yummy."
+
+She takes one and bites into it. She makes a funny face and spits it out.
+
+"Yuck! This is sour!" she says. "It hurts my mouth and my nose."
+
+Ben laughs and takes a lemon too. He bites into it and makes the same face.
+
+"Yuck! This is sour too!" he says. "It hurts my mouth and my nose too."
+
+They throw the lemons in the trash and look for something else.
+
+"Let's have cookies," Sara says. "They are sweet and crunchy. They make me happy."
+
+"Me too," Ben says. "Let's have cookies."
+
+They find a jar of cookies and take two each. They eat them and smile.
+
+"Yum! These are good!" Sara says.
+
+"Yum! These are good too!" Ben says.
+
+They zoom back to the living room and play with their cars again. They are happy and full.
+Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play in the park. They find many twigs on the ground. They use the twigs to make a house for their toys.
+
+But then a big wind comes. It blows the twigs away. Tom and Sue are sad. They lose their house and their toys.
+
+They look for their toys. They find some of them under a tree. But they cannot find all of them. They are still sad.
+
+Then they see a boy and a girl. They have some of their toys. They are playing with them. Tom and Sue are angry. They want their toys back.
+
+They run to the boy and the girl. They say, "Give us our toys! They are ours!" The boy and the girl say, "No! They are ours! We found them!"
+
+They start to fight. They pull and push. They shout and cry. They are not happy.
+
+Then a man comes. He is a teacher. He sees them fighting. He says, "Stop! What are you doing? Why are you fighting?"
+
+He asks them why they want the toys. They tell him their stories. He listens. He says, "I see. You both like the toys. But they belong to Tom and Sue. They made a house with the twigs. The wind blew it away. That is why you found the toys."
+
+He says, "But you can share the toys. You can play together. You can be friends. You can unite. That is better than fighting."
+
+He helps them pick up the twigs. He helps them make a new house. He gives them some more toys. He says, "Now you have a bigger house and more toys. You can have more fun."
+
+Tom and Sue look at the boy and the girl. They say, "We are sorry. We were angry. We did not know." The boy and the girl say, "We are sorry too. We were greedy. We did not know."
+
+They smile. They shake hands. They say, "Let's play together. Let's be friends." They unite. They are glad. They are happy.
+Ben likes to ride his board. His board has four wheels and he can go fast on it. He likes to ride his board in the park with his friend Sam. Sam has a board too, but his board is bigger and has a picture of a dragon on it.
+
+One day, Ben and Sam go to the park to ride their boards. They see a big hill and they want to go down it. Ben goes first. He pushes his board and gets on it. He feels the wind in his hair and the sun on his face. He is happy.
+
+But then he sees a big puddle at the bottom of the hill. He tries to stop his board, but he can't. He goes into the puddle and gets wet and dirty. His board gets wet and dirty too. He falls off his board and lands on the grass. He is sad.
+
+Sam comes down the hill after him. He sees Ben and his board in the puddle. He stops his board and gets off it. He runs to Ben and helps him up.
+
+"Are you okay, Ben?" Sam asks.
+
+"I'm okay, but my board is not okay," Ben says. "It's wet and dirty and it doesn't work."
+
+Sam looks at Ben's board. He sees that it is wet and dirty, but he also sees something else.
+
+"Ben, look!" Sam says. "Your board has a picture on it too!"
+
+Ben looks at his board. He sees that the dirt has made a picture on his board. It looks like a star.
+
+"Wow, you're right!" Ben says. "My board has a star on it!"
+
+Ben and Sam smile. They don't mind being wet and dirty. They like their boards. They like their pictures. They like their ride. They are happy.
+Tim and Mia were friends who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big puddle of mud near the park. They ran to the mud and jumped in. They felt the mud squish between their toes and splash on their clothes. They laughed and shouted.
+
+"This is so fun!" Tim said. "I love mud!"
+
+"Me too!" Mia said. "Let's make mud pies!"
+
+They scooped up some mud and shaped it into pies. They put sticks and leaves on top as decorations. They were very proud of their mud pies.
+
+But then, a big dog came running to the puddle. The dog saw the mud pies and thought they were food. He barked and ran to the pies. He ate them all in one bite.
+
+"Hey!" Tim yelled. "Those are our pies!"
+
+"Stop!" Mia cried. "Bad dog!"
+
+The dog did not listen. He wagged his tail and licked his lips. He saw Tim and Mia and wanted to play with them. He jumped on them and knocked them down. He licked their faces and rolled in the mud.
+
+Tim and Mia were not happy. They were covered in mud and dog slobber. They tried to push the dog away, but he was too big and strong. They felt scared and angry.
+
+"Go away!" Tim said. "Leave us alone!"
+
+"Help!" Mia said. "Someone help us!"
+
+The dog did not understand. He thought they were having fun. He barked and wagged his tail.
+
+But then, they heard a whistle. It was the dog's owner. He came running to the puddle. He saw the dog and the children. He looked shocked and sorry.
+
+"Rex!" he said. "What have you done? Come here, boy!"
+
+He grabbed the dog's collar and pulled him away. He apologized to Tim and Mia.
+
+"I'm so sorry!" he said. "He's a good dog, but he gets too excited sometimes. He loves mud and food. He didn't mean to hurt you."
+
+Tim and Mia were still mad, but they felt a little better. They saw that the dog's owner was nice and sorry. They saw that the dog was not mean, just playful.
+
+"It's okay," Tim said. "But don't let him do that again."
+
+"Yeah," Mia said. "And don't let him eat our mud pies."

+
+Then he hears a voice. It is his grandpa, who was looking for him. He sees Ben by the pond and asks him what is wrong. Ben tells him about the penny and the dog.

You can always save more pennies, but you cannot save your life. Come on, let's go home. I have a surprise for you."
