+One day, Anna saw a boy and a girl playing with a ball in the garden. They looked like they were having fun. Anna wanted to join them, but she knew her father would be angry. She watched them from her window and felt sad.
+
+"Who are you?" the boy asked, looking up at the window. He had brown hair and green eyes.
+
+"I'm Anna," she said. "I live in the palace."
+
+"Wow, you're a princess?" the girl asked. She had blonde hair and blue eyes.
+
+"Yes, but I don't like it. I want to play with you," Anna said.
+
+"Come on, then. We won't tell anyone," the boy said. He threw the ball to Anna.
+
+Anna caught the ball and smiled. She opened the window and climbed down the wall. She ran to the boy and the girl and gave them the ball.
+
+"Thank you," she said. "What are your names?"
+
+"I'm Tom and this is Lily," the boy said. "We live in the village. We come here sometimes to play."
+
+Anna played with Tom and Lily for a long time. They threw the ball, ran around, and laughed. Anna felt happy. She forgot about the palace and her father.
+
+But then she heard a loud voice. It was her father. He had seen her from his window and he was very angry. He came to the garden and shouted at Anna.
+
+"Anna, what are you doing? How dare you disobey me? Come back to the palace this instant!" he said.
+
+Anna looked at her father and felt scared. He had a red face and a frown. She dropped the ball and ran to him. She said sorry, but he did not listen. He took her by the hand and dragged her to the palace. He locked her in her room and said she was grounded.
+
+Anna cried in her room. She missed Tom and Lily. She wished she could play with them again. She wished her father would understand. She wished she was not a princess.
+Sara and Tom were going on a trip with their mom and dad. They were very happy to see new things and have fun. They got in the car and drove for a long time. They saw cows, trees, and bridges on the way.
+
+When it was dark, they stopped at a hotel to sleep. The hotel looked old and dirty. Sara and Tom did not like it. They saw bugs, stains, and holes in the walls. They did not want to stay there. They told their mom and dad they wanted to go somewhere else.
+
+But their mom and dad said they had no choice. They said they had no more money to find another hotel. They said they had to be grateful for what they had. They said they had to be brave and kind. They said they had to nod and smile to the hotel people.
+
+Sara and Tom did not understand. They felt sad and scared. But they tried to do what their mom and dad said. They nodded and smiled to the hotel people. They said thank you and good night. They went to their room and slept on their beds.
+
+The next morning, they woke up and saw a surprise. The hotel people had left them a basket of fruits, cookies, and toys. They had a note that said they were sorry for the dirty hotel. They said they were happy to have Sara and Tom as guests. They said they hoped they would have a good trip.
+
+Sara and Tom felt happy and surprised. They realized that the hotel people were nice and generous. They realized that their mom and dad were right. They realized that they had to be grateful for what they had. They realized that they had to be brave and kind. They realized that they had to nod and smile to everyone.
+
+They ate the fruits and cookies. They played with the toys. They thanked the hotel people. They said goodbye and good luck. They got in the car and drove away. They learned a lesson. They learned that even if something looks dirty, it can have a good heart. They learned that even if something is hard, it can have a good end. They learned that nodding and smiling can make a difference.
+Sara loves to organize her toys. She has a big box where she puts all her dolls, a small basket where she keeps her cars, and a shelf where she arranges her books. She likes to make everything neat and tidy.
+
+One day, Sara finds a new toy in her room. It is a pink drum with two sticks. She wonders who gave it to her. She picks it up and taps it with the sticks. It makes a loud sound. She likes the sound. She taps it again and again, faster and faster. She makes a rhythm with the drum.
+
+"Boom, boom, boom!" she says, smiling.
+
+Her brother Tom hears the noise and comes to her room. He sees Sara playing with the drum. He is not happy. He wants to play with the drum too. He thinks it is his toy.
+
+"Hey, that's mine!" he says, grabbing the drum.
+
+"No, it's mine!" Sara says, holding the drum.
+
+They both pull the drum and start to fight. They make a lot of noise.
+
+Their mom hears the noise and comes to their room. She sees Sara and Tom fighting over the drum. She is not happy. She wants them to share and play nicely.
+
+"Stop, stop, stop!" she says, taking the drum.
+
+"Who gave you this drum?" she asks.
+
+They both shrug. They don't know.
+
+Mom looks at the drum. She sees a note on it. It says: "To Sara and Tom, from Grandma. Enjoy the music!"
+
+Mom smiles. She understands. Grandma gave them the drum as a gift. She wants them to have fun and learn about rhythm.
+
+"Look, this drum is for both of you," she says, showing them the note.
+
+"You can take turns playing with it. And you can also play together. You can make a band!"
+
+Sara and Tom look at each other. They feel sorry for fighting. They love Grandma. They love music.
+
+They nod and hug. They say sorry to each other.
+
+"Can we play with the drum now?" Sara asks.
+
+"Sure, but first, let's organize your toys," Mom says.
+
+"Okay," Sara and Tom say.
+
+They help Mom organize their toys. They put everything in its place. They make their room neat and tidy.
+
+Then they take the drum and the sticks. They sit on the floor and start to play. They tap the drum and make a rhythm. They sing and laugh.
+
+They have fun. They make music. They are happy.
+Tom and Mia are best friends. They like to play outside in the park. They have a loyal dog named Spot. Spot likes to run and bark and chase balls.
+
+One day, the sky is dark and cloudy. Tom and Mia hear a loud boom. It is thunder. They see a bright flash. It is lightning. They are scared. They run to the big tree and hug each other.
+
+"Tom, I don't like the storm. It is noisy and scary," Mia says.
+
+"Mia, don't worry. I am here with you. And Spot is here too. He will protect us," Tom says.
+
+They look at Spot. He is wagging his tail and licking their faces. He is not afraid of the storm. He is a brave dog.
+
+Soon, the rain stops. The sun comes out. Tom and Mia see something beautiful in the sky. It is a rainbow. It has many colors. Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. They smile and point at the rainbow.
+
+"Look, Mia, a rainbow! It is so pretty. Do you know how it is made?" Tom asks.
+
+"No, Tom, I don't know. How is it made?" Mia asks.
+
+Tom thinks for a moment. He remembers what his mom told him.
+
+"Mom said that when the sun shines on the rain, it makes the rainbow. The sun and the rain twist the light and make the colors," Tom says.
+
+"Wow, that is amazing. The sun and the rain are friends. They make something beautiful together," Mia says.
+
+They hug each other again. They are happy. They have each other. They have Spot. They have the rainbow. They are friends too. They make something beautiful together.
+Anna likes to mark with her crayons. She has many colors and she makes pictures on paper. Sometimes she marks on the wall, but Mommy says no. Mommy says the wall is not for marking, only paper.
+
+Yesterday, Anna found a new thing to mark on. It was a big white egg in a basket. Mommy said it was a fragile egg. Anna did not know what fragile means, but she wanted to make the egg pretty. She took her crayons and marked on the egg. She made dots and lines and swirls.
+
+But then, the egg cracked. Anna heard a loud noise and saw a yellow thing come out of the egg. It was a baby chick. The chick was wet and soft and made a peep sound. Anna was scared and dropped the egg. The egg broke more and the chick fell on the floor.
+
+Mommy came and saw what happened. She was not happy. She said Anna was naughty and she should not mark on fragile things. She said the egg was not for marking, it was for hatching. She said Anna hurt the chick and made a mess.
+
+Anna was sorry. She did not mean to hurt the chick or make a mess. She said sorry to Mommy and to the chick. She hugged the chick and gave it a kiss. The chick peeped and cuddled with Anna. Mommy smiled and said it was okay. She said Anna could keep the chick as a pet, but she had to be gentle and careful. She said Anna could mark on paper, but not on eggs. Anna nodded and said yes. She learned a new word: fragile.
+Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play pretend. They had a big box of costumes and toys that they used to make up stories. One day, they decided to be doctors and nurses and help sick animals.
+
+They put on white coats and hats and found a stethoscope and a bandage. They looked around for some animals to perform check-ups on. They saw their dog, Max, sleeping on the couch. He was big and hairy and snored loudly.
+
+"Let's see if Max is healthy," Tom said. He walked over to the couch and put the stethoscope on Max's chest. He listened carefully. "Hmm, his heart sounds good. How about his ears?"
+
+Lily followed him and lifted one of Max's ears. She looked inside. "Oh no, Tom! There's something in his ear! It's red and shiny and round. It looks like a cherry!"
+
+Tom gasped. "A cherry? How did that get in there? Maybe he ate one and it got stuck. That's an emergency! We have to get it out!"
+
+They tried to pull the cherry out gently, but it was too slippery and deep. Max woke up and felt them tugging on his ear. He was confused and scared. He jumped off the couch and ran away, barking loudly.
+
+Tom and Lily chased after him, calling his name. They wanted to help him, but he didn't understand. He ran into the kitchen, where their mom was baking a pie. She saw them running and heard them shouting.
+
+"What's going on, kids?" she asked. "Why are you wearing those coats and hats? And what's wrong with Max?"
+
+Tom and Lily explained what they had found in Max's ear and how they tried to get it out. They said they were playing doctors and nurses and they wanted to perform a check-up on him.
+
+Mom smiled and hugged them. "That's very sweet of you, but you don't have to worry. That's not a cherry in Max's ear. That's a sticker. I put it there this morning to mark him for his haircut. He's going to the groomer later today. He'll be fine."
+
+Tom and Lily looked at each other and felt silly. They had mistaken a sticker for a cherry and caused a lot of trouble. They apologized to Max and gave him a treat. They decided to play something else instead. Maybe they could be astronauts or pirates or dancers. They had a lot of costumes and toys to choose from. And they had a lot of fun.
+Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play with their bikes. One day, they have a new game. They pretend to be mailmen and deliver letters to their neighbors.
+
+They make letters from paper and crayons. They write funny things on them, like "Hello, I am a cat" or "You are very nice". They put the letters in a bag and ride their bikes.
+
+They stop at each house and ring the bell. They give a letter to the person who opens the door. They say "Mail for you!" and smile. The people are surprised and happy. They thank Tom and Lily and read their letters.
+
+At the last house, they see an old man. He is sitting on a chair and holding an orange. He looks sad. Tom and Lily give him a letter. He opens it and reads "You have a friend. His name is Orange. He likes you very much". He looks at the orange and then at Tom and Lily. He smiles and says "Thank you, mailmen. You are very kind. This is a funny letter. Do you want to share my orange with me?"
+
+Tom and Lily say "Yes, please". They sit with the old man and eat the orange. They talk and laugh. The old man tells them stories. They have fun. They make a new friend. They are happy. They like to deliver letters.
+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play with blocks. They have many blocks of different colors and shapes. They can make houses, cars, animals and more.
+
+One day, they decide to make a big tower with all their blocks. They take turns to add one block on top of another. They count how many blocks they have. They are very happy.
+
+"Look, our tower is so tall!" Lily says.
+
+"Yes, it is! It is taller than me!" Tom says.
+
+They want to make it even taller. They look for more blocks. But they cannot find any. They have used all their blocks.
+
+"Oh no, we have no more blocks!" Lily says.
+
+"What can we do?" Tom says.
+
+They think hard. Then they have an idea. They can use something else to add to their tower. They look around. They see a pillow, a book, a banana and a hat.
+
+"Let's use these!" Lily says.
+
+"OK!" Tom says.
+
+They add the pillow, the book, the banana and the hat to their tower. It becomes very funny and colorful. They laugh.
+
+"Wow, our tower is so nice!" Lily says.
+
+"Yes, it is! It is the nicest tower ever!" Tom says.
+
+They are very proud of their tower. They want to show it to their mom and dad. They run to find them.
+
+But they forget something. They forget the banana. The banana is on top of the tower. It is ripe and sweet. It smells good.
+
+A monkey sees the banana. He likes bananas. He is hungry. He climbs on the tower. He grabs the banana. He peels it. He eats it. He puts the peel on his head. He is happy.
+
+But the tower is not happy. The tower is not strong. The tower is not balanced. The tower falls down. It makes a loud noise. It makes a big mess.
+
+Lily and Tom hear the noise. They come back. They see the monkey. They see the tower. They see the blocks, the pillow, the book, the hat and the peel.
+
+They are surprised. They are sad. They are angry.
+
+"Hey, monkey, that was our tower!" Lily says.
+
+"Yes, monkey, that was our banana!" Tom says.
+
+The monkey looks at them. He does not care. He has a full stomach. He smiles. He jumps away.
+
+Lily and Tom cry. They hug each other. They say sorry to their mom and dad. They promise to clean up. They learn a lesson.
+
+They learn that bananas are not good for towers. They learn that monkeys are not good for friends. They learn that blocks are better for playing.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with paper and crayons. They make prints with their hands and feet. They use red, blue, green and yellow crayons.
+
+"Look, Lily, I made a yellow print with my foot!" Ben says. He shows Lily his paper. It has a big yellow foot on it.
+
+"Wow, Ben, that is a nice print!" Lily says. She likes Ben's print. She wants to make one too. She takes a yellow crayon and holds it in her hand. She puts her hand on another paper.
+
+But the crayon is too big for her hand. It slips out of her fingers and falls on the floor. Lily feels sad. She cannot make a yellow print.
+
+"Don't be sad, Lily. I can help you," Ben says. He picks up the crayon and gives it to Lily. He holds her hand and helps her make a yellow print on the paper.
+
+"Thank you, Ben. You are a good friend," Lily says. She smiles. She likes her print. It has a small yellow hand on it.
+
+They put their papers next to each other. They see their prints. They are different, but they are both yellow. They are both happy. They hug each other.
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys in the living room. But sometimes they make a big mess and Mom is not happy.
+
+One day, Mom says, "Lily and Ben, you need to organize your toys. Put them in the boxes and baskets. Then you can have a snack."
+
+Lily and Ben nod. They start to organize their toys. Lily puts her dolls in a basket. Ben puts his cars in a box. They work together and help each other.
+
+But then they see a bottle of soap on the table. It is pink and smells good. Lily and Ben are curious. They open the bottle and squeeze some soap on their hands.
+
+"Look, Ben, bubbles!" Lily says. She blows on her hand and makes bubbles fly in the air.
+
+"Wow, Lily, that's great!" Ben says. He does the same and makes more bubbles.
+
+They laugh and clap. They have fun with the soap. But they also make a lot of foam on the floor and the couch.
+
+Mom comes back and sees the mess. She is not happy. She says, "Lily and Ben, what did you do? You made a bigger mess with the soap. That's not for playing. That's for washing. Now you have to clean up and go to the bath."
+
+Lily and Ben feel sorry. They say, "We're sorry, Mom. We just wanted to see the bubbles. They were great."
+
+Mom sighs. She says, "I know, but you have to be careful with soap. It can make things slippery and dirty. Come on, let's clean up and then you can have a bath. Maybe you can make some bubbles in the tub."
+
+Lily and Ben nod. They help Mom clean up the soap. Then they go to the bath. They make some bubbles in the tub. They wash their hair and their body. They smell good and feel clean.
+
+Mom smiles. She says, "You're good kids. I love you. Now you can have a snack and read a story."
+
+Lily and Ben hug Mom. They say, "We love you too, Mom. Thank you for the soap. It was great."
+Tom likes to play with his toy car. He pushes it and it goes fast. He makes it roll on the floor, on the rug, on the table. He likes the sound it makes. Vroom, vroom!
+
+But one day, his toy car does not go fast. It goes slow. It does not make sound. Tom is sad. He looks at his toy car. He sees a little door on the back. He opens it. He sees two batteries inside. They are old and dirty.
+
+Tom remembers that his dad has new batteries in his drawer. He runs to his dad's room. He opens the drawer. He finds two new batteries. They are shiny and clean. He takes them and runs back to his toy car.
+
+He takes out the old batteries and puts in the new ones. He closes the door. He pushes his toy car. It goes fast again. It makes sound again. Vroom, vroom! Tom is happy. He smiles and laughs. He makes his toy car roll all over the house. He has fun.
+Tom has a new jacket with a zipper. He likes to zip it up and down. He thinks it is fun. But one day, he zips it too fast and too tight. The zipper gets stuck on his chin. It hurts. He cries.
+
+Mom hears Tom cry. She comes to help him. She tries to pull the zipper down. But it does not move. She tries to reverse the zipper up. But it does not move. She says, "Oh no, the zipper is broken. We need to cut it off."
+
+Tom is scared. He does not want Mom to cut his jacket. He likes his jacket. He says, "No, no, no. Please do not cut it. Please fix it."
+
+Mom says, "I am sorry, Tom. I cannot fix it. It is too tight. But do not worry. I will buy you a new jacket. A better one. With a bigger zipper. And a nice color. What color do you want?"
+
+Tom thinks. He likes blue. He says, "Blue. I want a blue jacket. With a big zipper. And a hood. And pockets."
+
+Mom says, "OK, Tom. A blue jacket with a big zipper and a hood and pockets. That sounds great. But first, we need to cut this one off. It will be quick. And it will not hurt. Trust me."
+
+Tom nods. He trusts Mom. He closes his eyes. He feels Mom cut the zipper. He feels the jacket come off. He feels Mom hug him. He feels better. He says, "Thank you, Mom. You are the best. Can we go buy the blue jacket now?"
+
+Mom says, "Yes, Tom. We can go buy the blue jacket now. Come on, let's go." She takes his hand. They go to the car. They drive to the store. They find a blue jacket with a big zipper and a hood and pockets. Tom tries it on. It fits. He zips it up and down. He smiles. He says, "I love it. It is perfect. Thank you, Mom."
+
+Mom says, "You are welcome, Tom. I love you. You are brave. And smart. And handsome. And you have a great jacket." She kisses him. He kisses her back. They are happy. They go home. They have a good day. The end.
+Sam and Mia like to play with cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They make roads and bridges with blocks and books. They pretend to drive their cars on the roads and have races.
+
+One day, they decide to have a big race with all their cars. They line up their cars at the start and say "Ready, set, go!" They push their cars along the roads and cheer for them. Sam's red car is very fast and soon it is in front. Mia's blue car is behind, but it is not far.
+
+They reach the last bridge and Sam's red car is still in front. But then, Sam sees a big book on the road. He thinks, "If I push the book, Mia's car will stop and I will win." He wants to win, but he also knows that is not fair. He remembers that his mom and dad taught him to be honest and kind. He decides not to push the book and lets Mia's car pass.
+
+Mia's blue car crosses the finish line first and Mia is very happy. She says, "I won, I won!" Sam's red car comes second and Sam is a little sad. But then, Mia sees the book on the road and says, "Sam, did you see the book? Did you let me win?" Sam nods and says, "Yes, I did. I wanted to win, but I also wanted to be honest. I did not want to cheat." Mia smiles and says, "Thank you, Sam. You are a good friend. You are honest and brave. You can have the first turn with my blue car." Sam smiles and says, "Thank you, Mia. You are a good friend too. You are fast and fun. You can have the first turn with my red car." They hug and play with their cars again. They are happy.
+Lily and Mom went to the mall. Lily liked the mall. There were many things to see and do. Mom wanted to buy a dress. Lily wanted to play.
+
+"Can we go to the play area, Mom?" Lily asked.
+
+"Not now, Lily. We have to find a dress first. Then we can play," Mom said.
+
+Lily was sad. She did not like to look at dresses. They were all the same. She wanted to see something different.
+
+They walked by a store that had a fountain. Lily saw the water pour from the fountain. It was shiny and pretty. Lily wanted to touch it.
+
+"Look, Mom, water!" Lily said. She ran to the fountain.
+
+"Lily, wait! Don't go there!" Mom said. She followed Lily.
+
+But Lily was too fast. She reached the fountain and put her hand in the water. It was cold and wet. Lily liked it. She splashed the water with her hand. She laughed.
+
+"Lily, stop! You are getting wet!" Mom said. She grabbed Lily's hand and pulled her away from the fountain.
+
+Lily was not happy. She wanted to play with the water. She cried.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily. You can't play with the fountain. It's not for playing. It's for looking," Mom said.
+
+"But I like the water. It's different. It's fun," Lily said.
+
+"I know, Lily. But we have to follow the rules. The fountain is not a toy. Maybe we can find something else that is different and fun at the mall. Do you want to try?" Mom said.
+
+Lily nodded. She wiped her tears. She still liked the mall. Maybe there was something else to see and do. Something different. She held Mom's hand and they walked on.
+Lily and Tom were twins who liked to play in the garden. They had a big sunflower that they planted from a seed. Every day, they watered it and watched it grow.
+
+"Look, Tom, our sunflower is so tall!" Lily said. "It is taller than me!"
+
+"Yes, and it has a big yellow face!" Tom said. "It is smiling at us!"
+
+They hugged the sunflower and thanked it for being their friend.
+
+One day, they noticed that the sunflower was leaning to one side. They asked their mom why.
+
+"Your sunflower is following the sun," mom said. "The sun moves from east to west in the sky, and your sunflower turns its face to catch the light."
+
+"Wow, that is amazing!" Lily said. "Can we follow the sun too?"
+
+"Sure, you can," mom said. "But remember to come back for lunch!"
+
+Lily and Tom ran to the east, where the sun was rising. They pretended to be sunflowers and turned their faces to the sun. They felt warm and happy.
+
+They ran and ran until they reached a big hill. They climbed to the top and saw a beautiful view. They saw fields and flowers and trees and birds.
+
+They were glad to see so much beauty. They hugged each other and said, "We love the sun, and we love the east, and we love our sunflower!"
+
+They ran back to the garden, where their sunflower was waiting for them. They watered it and told it what they saw. The sunflower nodded and smiled.
+
+They had a wonderful day.
+One day, a foolish fox saw a big hen house. He wanted to eat the hens, but the door was locked. He thought of a plan to make the hens come out. He pretended to be sick and lay down near the hen house. He made a weak voice and said, "Help me, please. I am very ill and hungry. Can you give me some water and food?"
+
+The hens heard the fox and looked out of the window. They saw the fox lying on the ground. Some of the hens felt sorry for the fox and wanted to help him. But one wise hen said, "Do not trust the fox. He is a liar and a thief. He wants to eat us. He is not sick at all. He is trying to make us come out of the hen house."
+
+The foolish fox heard the wise hen and was angry. He thought he could trick the hens with his words. He said, "No, no, I am not lying. I am really sick. Please, have pity on me. I will not hurt you. I just need some water and food. Come out and see for yourself."
+
+The hens did not believe the fox. They stayed inside the hen house and ignored the fox. The fox waited and waited, but the hens did not come out. He became hungry and tired. He gave up and left the hen house. He learned that his plan did not work. He was a foolish fox who could not make the hens come out.
+Tim and Lily were twins who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big hill with a lot of rocks and dirt. They wanted to climb it and see what was on the other side.
+
+"Let's go, Tim!" Lily said. "Maybe we can find something fun!"
+
+"OK, Lily!" Tim said. "But we have to be quick. Mom and Dad will come soon."
+
+They ran to the hill and started to climb. They used their hands and feet to grab the rocks and dirt. They hoped they would not fall or get hurt.
+
+As they climbed, they saw something shiny in the dirt. It was a metal ring with a blue stone. Lily picked it up and put it on her finger.
+
+"Wow, Lily! You found a pretty ring!" Tim said.
+
+"Maybe it is magic!" Lily said. "Maybe it can make wishes come true!"
+
+They climbed higher and higher, until they reached the top of the hill. They looked around and saw a big lake with ducks and fish. They also saw a small house with a chimney and a door.
+
+"Look, Tim! A house!" Lily said. "Maybe someone lives there!"
+
+"Maybe it is an ancient house!" Tim said. "Maybe it is very old and has secrets!"
+
+They ran to the house and knocked on the door. No one answered. They tried to open the door, but it was locked.
+
+"Let's go back, Lily!" Tim said. "We don't want to bother anyone!"
+
+But Lily did not listen. She wanted to see inside the house. She remembered the ring on her finger. She closed her eyes and made a wish.
+
+"I wish the door would open!" she said.
+
+Suddenly, the door opened with a loud creak. Tim and Lily gasped. They saw a dark and dusty room with a fireplace and a table. On the table, there was a big book with a lock and a key.
+
+"Wow, Lily! You did it!" Tim said. "Your ring is magic!"
+
+"Let's see the book, Tim!" Lily said. "Maybe it has stories or pictures!"
+
+They ran to the table and grabbed the book. They opened it and saw strange words and symbols. They did not understand them, but they felt a strange power from the book.
+
+They did not notice the shadow that moved behind them. They did not hear the footsteps that came closer. They did not see the angry face that looked at them.
+
+They only heard the voice that shouted.
+
+"Who are you? What are you doing here? Give me back my book and my ring!"
+
+It was the owner of the house. He was a wizard. And he was not happy.
+Tim and Sam like to play with their toy cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They make them zoom and crash on the floor. Sometimes they pretend the cars are animals and make noises.
+
+One day, Tim found a big metal car in his dad's closet. It was shiny and had a lion on the hood. Tim thought it was cool and took it to show Sam. Sam liked it too and wanted to play with it.
+
+They took turns to drive the metal car on the floor. They made it go fast and slow, and turned it left and right. They also made it roar like a lion. They had fun with the metal car.
+
+But then, Tim's dad came home and saw them with the metal car. He was not happy. He said the metal car was not a toy. He said it was a special car that belonged to his grandpa. He said they could break it or hurt themselves.
+
+Tim and Sam felt sorry and scared. They gave the metal car back to Tim's dad. They said they were sorry and they did not know. Tim's dad was calm and kind. He said he understood and he was not angry. He said they could play with other toys, but not the metal car.
+
+Tim and Sam said okay and thanked him. They went to play with their other cars. They still made them zoom and crash, but they did not roar. They learned to be careful with things that are not theirs.
+Tom and Lily liked to play in the kitchen when mom was cooking. They pretended they were chefs and made their own dishes with pots and pans and spoons. One day, mom was making soup and there was a lot of steam coming out of the pot. Tom and Lily wanted to see what was inside, but mom said it was too hot and they had to wait.
+
+Tom had an idea. He said to Lily, "Let's play a game. We can store some steam in a cup and hide it somewhere. Then we can find it later and see if it is still there." Lily thought that sounded fun, so they waited until mom was not looking and took a cup from the cupboard. They held it over the pot and caught some steam in it. Then they ran to the living room and looked for a hidden place to put the cup.
+
+They found a spot behind the couch and put the cup there. Then they went back to the kitchen and acted like nothing happened. Mom did not notice anything and soon the soup was ready. She called Tom and Lily to the table and they ate their soup. It was yummy and warm.
+
+After they finished, Tom and Lily asked mom if they could play some more. Mom said yes, but they had to clean up their dishes first. They did as they were told and then ran to the living room. They wanted to see if their steam was still in the cup. They looked behind the couch and found the cup. But when they lifted it, they saw that it was empty. There was no steam in it.
+
+Tom and Lily were confused. They wondered what happened to their steam. They asked each other, "Where did it go?" They did not know that steam is water that is very hot and turns into air. When it cools down, it turns back into water and goes away. They thought maybe someone took their steam or it escaped from the cup. They decided to try again another day and see if they could store some more steam. They hoped it would stay longer next time. They smiled and hugged each other and went to play with their toys.
+Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play with dolls and cars and books. But one day, they had a big fight. Lily wanted to play with Ben's new car, but Ben said no. He said it was his car and he did not want to share. Lily got angry and said Ben was mean. She grabbed the car and ran away.
+
+Ben chased after Lily and tried to get his car back. He shouted and pushed and pulled. Lily shouted and pushed and pulled too. They both fell down and hurt themselves. The car broke into pieces. They both started to cry.
+
+Mommy heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw Lily and Ben on the floor, with the broken car and tears on their faces. She asked them what happened. Lily and Ben told her their story. Mommy said they were both wrong. She said they should not fight over toys. She said they should share and be kind. She said fighting was like war, and war was bad. She said sharing was like fair, and fair was good.
+
+Lily and Ben felt sorry for what they did. They said sorry to each other and hugged. They said sorry to Mommy and hugged her too. They said sorry to the car and tried to fix it. Mommy said she was proud of them. She said they learned to forgive, and forgive was good. She said they were still best friends, and best friends were good. She gave them a kiss and a cookie and said they could play with another toy. Lily and Ben smiled and said thank you. They went to play with the dolls and the books. They were happy again.
+Lily liked to listen to the radio. She liked the songs and the stories. She had a small radio in her room. She took it with her when she played outside.
+
+One day, she went to the park with her mom and dad. She brought her radio. She put it on the bench and turned it on. She heard a funny voice. It said, "Hello, little listeners! Do you want to play a game? If you do, say yes!"
+
+Lily said, "Yes!" She liked games. She thought the voice was attractive. It sounded nice and friendly.
+
+The voice said, "Good! The game is called disappear. I will count to ten. You have to hide somewhere. If I can't find you, you win. If I find you, you lose. Are you ready?"
+
+Lily said, "Yes!" She ran to find a hiding spot. She saw a big tree. She went behind it. She waited.
+
+The voice said, "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten! Ready or not, here I come!" Lily heard the voice coming closer. She held her breath. She hoped the voice would not find her.
+
+But the voice did find her. It said, "Aha! I see you, Lily! You are behind the tree! You lose!" Lily came out from behind the tree. She saw a man. He was holding her radio. He had a big smile. He said, "Hello, Lily! I'm the radio man. I like your radio. It's very nice. Can I have it?"
+
+Lily said, "No! That's my radio! Give it back!" She tried to grab her radio. But the man was too fast. He ran away with her radio. He said, "Too bad, Lily! You lose the game and the radio! Bye-bye!" He disappeared.
+
+Lily cried. She wanted her radio back. She ran to her mom and dad. They hugged her. They said, "Don't worry, Lily. We'll get you a new radio. And we'll call the police. They'll find the bad man and the radio. He won't get away with this."
+
+Lily felt a little better. She learned a lesson. She learned not to trust strangers. She learned to be careful with her things. She learned that some games are not fun. She learned that some voices are not attractive. They are mean and tricky.
+Sara and Ben liked to play with the board. The board had many colors and shapes. They could make pictures and words with the board. But one day, they had a big fight. Sara wanted to make a flower, and Ben wanted to make a car. They pulled and pushed the board. They yelled and cried.
+
+"Stop it! You are grumpy!" Sara said.
+
+"No, you are grumpy!" Ben said.
+
+They did not see the dog. The dog was hungry. He saw the board. He thought it was food. He ran to the board. He bit the board. He made a big hole in the board.
+
+Sara and Ben stopped fighting. They saw the dog. They saw the hole. They were sad. They loved the board. They wanted to play with the board.
+
+"Go away, dog! You are bad!" Sara said.
+
+"Give us back our board! You are mean!" Ben said.
+
+But the dog did not listen. He ran away with the board. He wanted to eat the board.
+
+Sara and Ben ran after the dog. They wanted to save the board. They ran and ran. They saw the dog near a big tree. The dog was about to eat the board.
+
+"Please, dog, don't eat our board!" Sara said.
+
+"We are sorry, dog, we were grumpy!" Ben said.
+
+The dog heard Sara and Ben. He looked at them. He saw their sad faces. He felt sorry. He did not want to eat the board. He wanted to be nice. He dropped the board. He wagged his tail.
+
+Sara and Ben were happy. They thanked the dog. They hugged the dog. They took the board. They saw the hole. They did not mind the hole. They could still play with the board.
+
+They learned a lesson. They learned to share. They learned to be kind. They learned to love the board and the dog. They were not grumpy anymore. They were happy.
+Lily liked to paint. She had many colors and brushes. She painted flowers and trees and birds on paper. She showed her paintings to her mom and dad. They smiled and said, "You are a very good painter, Lily. We are proud of you."
+
+One day, Lily wanted to paint something new. She saw a big wall in the garden. It was white and boring. She thought, "I can paint on the wall. It will be fun and pretty." She took her paints and brushes and went to the garden. She started to paint on the wall. She painted a big sun and a rainbow and a house.
+
+But the wall was very high. Lily could not reach the top. She saw a stool near the wall. She thought, "I can use the stool to paint higher." She climbed on the stool and painted more. She painted a cloud and a star and a bird.
+
+But the stool was not very stable. It wobbled and shook. Lily tried to balance on it. She held her brush and paint. She said, "I am almost done. My painting is beautiful." But then, the stool tipped over. Lily fell off the stool. She dropped her brush and paint. They splashed on the wall and on the ground and on Lily. She cried, "Ouch! That hurts!"
+
+Her mom and dad heard her cry. They ran to the garden. They saw Lily on the ground. They saw the wall with the painting and the mess. They said, "Oh, Lily, what happened? Are you okay?" They picked her up and hugged her. They checked her for bruises and cuts. They said, "You are very brave, Lily. We are sorry you fell. We are glad you are not hurt."
+
+Lily sniffed and wiped her tears. She looked at the wall. She said, "I wanted to paint something new. But I fell and made a mess. I am sorry, mom and dad. I ruined the wall." They looked at the wall. They saw the sun and the rainbow and the house and the cloud and the star and the bird. They also saw the splashes and the stains. They said, "You did not ruin the wall, Lily. You made a very creative painting. It is colorful and cheerful and unique. We are proud of you, Lily. You are a very good painter." They kissed her and smiled. Lily smiled too. She said, "Thank you, mom and dad. I love you." They said, "We love you too, Lily." They went inside to clean up and have a snack. They left the wall with the painting. They thought, "It is a very special wall. It is Lily's wall."
+Sara and Ben like to play with pennies. They have a big jar of pennies in their room. They like to count them, sort them, and make patterns with them. Sometimes they pretend they are buying things with their pennies.
+
+One day, Sara and Ben decide to make a picture with their pennies. They take out some paper and glue. They start to stick pennies on the paper. They make a sun, a house, a tree, and a cat. They use different colors of pennies. They have red, brown, and shiny pennies.
+
+"Look, Ben, I made a black cat!" Sara says. She shows him her paper. She used all the black pennies she could find.
+
+"Wow, Sara, your cat is very nice!" Ben says. He looks at his paper. He made a house with a red roof and a brown door. He used all the red and brown pennies he could find.
+
+"Are you finished, Ben?" Sara asks.
+
+"Yes, I am finished, Sara," Ben says.
+
+They look at their pictures. They are very proud of them. They want to show them to their mom and dad.
+
+"Let's go, Sara, let's go!" Ben says. He picks up his paper.
+
+"Wait, Ben, wait!" Sara says. She picks up her paper.
+
+They run to the living room. They find their mom and dad on the couch. They show them their pictures.
+
+"Look, mom, look, dad, we made pictures with pennies!" Sara and Ben say.
+
+Mom and dad smile. They look at the pictures. They hug Sara and Ben.
+
+"Wow, Sara and Ben, your pictures are very beautiful!" mom says.

+Mira and Sami were best friends. They liked to play together in the park. One day, they saw a big building with many colors and shapes. It was a temple. They wanted to go inside and see what was there.
+
+"Can we go, Mira?" Sami asked.
+
+"OK, but we have to be quiet and respectful," Mira said. "My mom told me that people pray and meditate in the temple. They are very peaceful and kind."
+
+They walked to the temple and took off their shoes. They saw a big statue of a smiling man with a round belly. He was holding a lotus flower. They gazed at him with wonder.
+
+"Who is he, Mira?" Sami whispered.
+
+"He is Buddha. He was a very wise and gifted teacher. He taught people how to be happy and good. He also taught people how to make beautiful art and music. Do you see the paintings and the bells?" Mira whispered back.
+
+"Yes, they are very pretty and shiny. I like them," Sami said.
+
+They walked around the temple and saw more statues, paintings, and flowers. They also saw some people sitting on cushions and closing their eyes. They were meditating. They looked very calm and happy.
+
+"Mira, can we try to meditate too?" Sami asked.
+
+"Sure, why not? Let's find a spot and sit down. We have to breathe slowly and quietly. We have to think of something nice and good. Maybe we can think of our friendship," Mira said.
+
+They found a spot and sat down. They breathed slowly and quietly. They thought of their friendship. They felt warm and cozy. They smiled.
+
+They meditated for a while. Then they opened their eyes and looked at each other.
+
+"That was fun, Mira. I feel very peaceful and kind. Thank you for being my friend," Sami said.
+
+"Me too, Sami. I feel very happy and good. You are a very gifted friend. Thank you for coming with me," Mira said.
+
+They hugged each other. Then they put on their shoes and left the temple. They waved goodbye to the Buddha and the people. They went back to the park and played some more. They had a wonderful day.
+Lila liked to surf. She had a big board that was pink and blue. She could ride the waves very well. She was independent. She did not need help from anyone.
+
+One day, she went to the beach with her mom and dad. They brought a picnic and a sun hat. Lila wanted to surf right away. She ran to the water with her board.
+
+"Wait, Lila!" her mom called. "You need to put on sunscreen and your hat. The sun is very hot today. You don't want to get burned."
+
+Lila did not listen. She did not want to put on sunscreen and her hat. She wanted to surf. She thought she knew better than her mom. She complained. "No, mom, I don't need sunscreen and hat. I'm fine. Let me surf. You're always telling me what to do."
+
+She ignored her mom and went into the water. She surfed for a long time. She had fun. She forgot about the sun.
+
+But the sun did not forget about her. It shone on her skin and made it red and sore. It shone on her head and made it hot and dizzy. Lila started to feel bad. She felt pain and thirst. She wanted to go back to the shore.
+
+She paddled to the sand and got off her board. She looked for her mom and dad. They were sitting under a big umbrella. They had water and sandwiches. They looked cool and happy.
+
+Lila walked to them. She felt sorry. She realized she was wrong. She said to her mom, "Mom, I'm sorry. I should have listened to you. I need sunscreen and hat. I'm burned and sick. Can you help me?"
+
+Her mom hugged her and said, "Of course, Lila. I'm glad you're back. I love you. You're a good surfer, but you're still a little girl. You need to take care of yourself. Here, have some water and a sandwich. And put on this hat. It will make you feel better."
+
+Lila nodded and smiled. She drank some water and ate a sandwich. She put on the hat. She felt better. She learned a lesson. She was still independent, but she also listened to her mom. She thanked her mom and said, "Mom, you're the best. Can we surf again tomorrow?"
+
+Her mom smiled and said, "Sure, Lila. But only if you wear sunscreen and your hat."
+Lily and Ben were friends who liked to draw with pastels. They had many colors of pastels, like pink, blue, yellow and green. They liked to draw flowers, animals, houses and rainbows on big sheets of paper.
+
+One day, Lily and Ben went to the park with their pastels and paper. They found a nice spot under a tree and started to draw. Lily drew a big sun with a smiley face and Ben drew a fluffy cloud with raindrops. They were having fun and talking.
+
+"Look, Lily, I made a rain cloud. Do you like it?" Ben asked.
+
+"Yes, Ben, I like it. It is very nice. Look, I made a sun. Do you like it?" Lily answered.
+
+"Yes, Lily, I like it. It is very bright. Can I use your yellow pastel?" Ben asked.
+
+"Sure, Ben, you can use it. But be careful, it is almost dry. You have to press hard to make it work." Lily said.
+
+Ben took the yellow pastel and tried to draw more raindrops. But he pressed too hard and the pastel broke in half. He was sad and angry.
+
+"Look, Lily, you gave me a bad pastel. It broke. Now I can't finish my drawing. You are a bad friend." Ben said.
+
+Lily was shocked and hurt. She did not give him a bad pastel. It was just dry. She did not mean to make him sad or angry. She was a good friend.
+
+"Ben, I'm sorry. I did not give you a bad pastel. It was just dry. I did not know it would break. Please don't be mad at me. I am a good friend." Lily said.
+
+But Ben did not listen. He threw the broken pastel on the ground and ran away. He left Lily alone with her sun and his cloud. Lily started to cry. She missed Ben. She wished he would come back and say sorry. She wished they could draw together again. But he did not come back. He found another friend who had new pastels. Lily was very sad. She had no friend and no pastel. She had a bad day.
+Jill liked to play with her toys in the bathtub. She had a rubber duck, a boat, a fish and a frog. She made them swim and splash and talk to each other. She was very happy.
+
+One day, she saw something new in the bathtub. It was a big, round, shiny thing. It looked like a bubble, but it was not a bubble. It was hard and smooth and had a hole in the middle. Jill was curious. She reached out to touch it.
+
+But when she touched it, something happened. The thing made a loud noise and opened up. Out of the hole came a long, thin, hairy thing. It had two big ears, two small eyes, a pointy nose and a mouth full of teeth. It was a mouse!
+
+The mouse was scared. It saw Jill and the water and the toys. It did not like any of them. It wanted to get out of the bathtub. It ran around the edge of the thing, looking for a way out. It squeaked and hissed and scratched.
+
+Jill was scared too. She did not like the mouse. She did not want it to touch her or her toys. She screamed and cried and called for her mom. She wanted the mouse to go away.
+
+Mom heard Jill and came to the bathroom. She saw the mouse and the thing in the bathtub. She knew what it was. It was a trap. She had put it there to catch the mouse that had been eating the cheese in the kitchen. She had forgotten to tell Jill about it. She felt sorry.
+
+She picked up Jill and hugged her. She told her it was okay. She told her the mouse was not going to hurt her. She told her the trap was going to take the mouse away. She told her she was sorry. She told her she loved her.
+
+Jill calmed down. She hugged her mom back. She told her it was okay. She told her she did not like the mouse. She told her she loved her too.
+
+Mom took the trap and the mouse out of the bathtub. She threw them in the trash. She cleaned the bathtub and filled it with fresh water. She put Jill and her toys back in the bathtub. She gave her a modest kiss and a smile. She told her to have fun.
+
+Jill smiled back. She played with her toys in the bathtub. She had a rubber duck, a boat, a fish and a frog. She made them swim and splash and talk to each other. She was very happy.
+Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play with cars and trucks. One day, they found a big envelope in the mailbox. It had a picture of a judge on it and said "Important". Tim and Sam were curious and wanted to see what was inside.
+
+"Let's open it and look," Tim said.
+
+"No, we can't. It's not for us. It's for Mom and Dad," Sam said.
+
+"But maybe it's a surprise for us. Maybe it's a new toy or a game," Tim said.
+
+Sam shook his head. "No, it's not. It's something serious. Mom and Dad said they have to go to court soon. They said the judge will decide who gets to keep the house and who gets to live with us."
+
+Tim frowned. He didn't like the word court. He didn't like the word decide. He wanted to stay with Mom and Dad and live in the same house. He didn't want anything to change.
+
+"Maybe the judge changed his mind. Maybe he said we can all stay together. Maybe this is good news," Tim said.
+
+Sam shrugged. "I don't know. But we shouldn't open it. We should give it to Mom and Dad when they come home."
+
+Tim nodded. He put the envelope back in the mailbox. He hoped Sam was wrong. He hoped the judge was nice. He hoped the envelope had a happy ending.
+
+But he was wrong. The envelope had a sad ending. The judge said Mom and Dad had to split up. The judge said Tim had to live with Mom and Sam had to live with Dad. The judge said they had to move to different houses and different schools.
+
+Tim and Sam cried. They hugged each other and said goodbye. They felt like their hearts were dead. They wished they had never seen the envelope. They wished they had never heard of the judge. They wished they could go back to playing with cars and trucks.
+Lily and Ben were playing knights and dragons in the garden. They had a big cardboard box that they pretended was a castle. Lily wore a paper crown and a cape, and Ben had a plastic sword and a shield.
+
+"Roar! I am the dragon, and I will attack your castle!" Ben shouted, running towards the box.
+
+"Oh no! Help me, brave knight!" Lily cried, hiding behind the box.
+
+Ben swung his sword at the air and made loud noises. He pretended to fight the dragon and chase it away. He ran back to the box and knocked on it.
+
+"Lily, Lily, are you okay? The dragon is gone, you can come out now!" he said.
+
+Lily opened the box and smiled. She hugged Ben and thanked him for saving her. They decided to have a picnic inside the box. They lay down on a blanket and ate some cookies and juice.
+
+But the box was very small and hot. Lily and Ben felt uncomfortable. They could not move much and they started to sweat. The sword was poking Ben in the back and the crown was falling off Lily's head.
+
+"Ben, I don't like this box. It is too tight and warm. Can we play something else?" Lily asked.
+
+"Okay, Lily. Me too. The box is not fun. Let's go to the swing or the slide. They are more fun," Ben agreed.
+
+They got out of the box and left the sword and the crown behind. They ran to the swing and the slide and played happily. They forgot about the box and the dragon. They had more fun in the garden.
+Tom and Mia were friends who liked to play outside. One day, they found a big hill near their house. They wanted to see what was on the other side of the hill.
+
+"Let's go up the hill and see!" Tom said.
+
+"OK, but be careful. The hill is steep and high." Mia said.
+
+They climbed the hill, holding hands and helping each other. When they reached the top, they saw a beautiful lake with ducks and fish. They also saw a big kite flying in the sky.
+
+"Wow, look at the kite! It is so colorful and it soars so high!" Mia said.
+
+"I wish we had a kite like that. It looks like fun." Tom said.
+
+They watched the kite for a while, then they heard a voice.
+
+"Hey, kids! Do you want to fly my kite?" The voice belonged to a friendly man who was holding the string of the kite.
+
+"Yes, please! Can we?" Tom and Mia said.
+
+"Sure, why not? Come here and I'll show you how to do it." The man said.
+
+He gave them the string and taught them how to make the kite soar and dip and turn. Tom and Mia had a lot of fun flying the kite. They thanked the man and gave him back the string.
+
+"That was awesome! Thank you, mister!" Tom and Mia said.
+
+"You're welcome, kids. Enjoy the lake and have a nice day." The man said.
+
+Tom and Mia decided to have a picnic by the lake. They shared their sandwiches and cookies and juice. They fed some bread to the ducks and watched the fish. They agreed that the sandwiches and cookies and juice were very tasty.
+
+They had a wonderful day on the hill and by the lake. They made a new friend and learned how to fly a kite. They were happy and tired when they went back home. They hugged each other and said goodbye.
+
+"See you tomorrow, Tom. Let's play again." Mia said.
+
+"See you tomorrow, Mia. You're the best friend ever." Tom said.
+Anna and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big purple car in the parking lot. They run to the car and look inside.
+
+"Wow, look at all the buttons and lights!" Ben says.
+
+"I want to drive the car!" Anna says.
+
+They see a key on the seat. Ben reaches for the key, but Anna grabs it first.
+
+"Give me the key, Anna! It's my turn!" Ben says.
+
+"No, it's mine! I saw it first!" Anna says.
+
+They pull the key and start to yell. A man comes out of the park. He sees the kids and the car. He frowns and walks to them.
+
+"Hey, what are you doing with my car and my key?" he says.
+
+Anna and Ben stop yelling. They look at the man. They feel scared.
+
+"We're sorry, mister. We just wanted to play," Anna says.
+
+"Yeah, we didn't know it was your car," Ben says.
+
+They give the key back to the man. He takes the key and opens the car.
+
+"Next time, ask before you touch someone else's things," he says.
+
+He gets in the car and drives away.
+
+Anna and Ben look at each other. They feel sad.
+
+"Let's go play somewhere else," Anna says.
+
+"OK," Ben says.
+
+They hold hands and walk to the swings. They try to forget the purple car and the angry man. They hope he will not frown again.
+Tim and Sam were friends who liked to play music. They had a band with a drum, a guitar and a flute. They wanted to be mighty and famous like the bands they saw on TV. One day, they saw a sign that said: "Send your band's music to this address and win a big prize!"
+
+They were very happy and excited. They worked hard to make a good song. They recorded it on a tape and put it in an envelope. They wrote their names and the address on the envelope. They ran to the post office and gave it to the man.
+
+"Thank you!" they said. "We hope we win the prize!"
+
+The man smiled and took the envelope. He put it in a big pile of other envelopes. He did not know that the pile was for the trash. He did not see the sign that said: "Do not send your band's music here. This is a joke. We will throw away your music and laugh at you."
+
+The next day, Tim and Sam waited for a phone call or a letter. They hoped to hear good news. They hoped to be mighty and famous. But no one called or wrote. They waited and waited. They became sad and angry.
+
+They did not know that their music was in the trash. They did not know that someone had played a mean trick on them. They did not know that their band had no chance to win the prize. They did not know that their dream was over.
+Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play in the yard. But they do not like to share their toys. One day, Tom finds a big ball. He wants to play with it by himself. He does not let Sam touch it.
+
+Sam feels angry. He wants to play with the ball too. He tries to grab it from Tom. Tom pushes him away. They start to fight. They yell and hit each other. They roll on the ground. They get filthy. Their clothes are dirty. Their faces are muddy.
+
+Mom sees them from the window. She feels sad. She does not like to see them fight. She goes outside. She stops them. She says, "Stop! Why are you fighting? You are brothers. You should love each other. You should share your toys. Look at you. You are filthy. You need to clean up. Come inside. Now!"
+
+Tom and Sam feel sorry. They know they did wrong. They say, "Sorry, Mom. Sorry, brother." They hug each other. They follow Mom inside. They wash their faces and hands. They change their clothes. They promise to play nicely. They share their toys. They feel happy. Mom feels happy too. She smiles and hugs them. She says, "That's better. I love you both."
+Tim and Lily were playing with their toy cars on the floor. They liked to make noises like the cars and pretend they were racing. Sometimes they crashed their cars and said "boom" or "ouch".
+
+One day, they heard a loud noise outside. It was not like the cars they played with. It was a big noise that went "wee-woo-wee-woo". They ran to the window and saw a big red car with a light on top. It was an ambulance.
+
+"What is that?" Lily asked.
+
+"It is an ambulance," Tim said. "It helps people who are hurt."
+
+"Why is it here?" Lily asked.
+
+"I don't know," Tim said. "Maybe someone is not normal."
+
+They saw some people come out of the ambulance. They wore white clothes and had a bag. They went into the house next door. Tim and Lily knew the house. It was where Mrs. Lee lived. She was an old lady who sometimes gave them cookies.
+
+They paused their game and watched. They hoped Mrs. Lee was okay. They liked her. She was nice.
+
+After a while, the people came out of the house. They had a bed with wheels. Mrs. Lee was on the bed. She looked normal, but she had a mask on her face. The people put the bed in the ambulance and drove away. The noise went "wee-woo-wee-woo" again.
+
+"Where are they taking her?" Lily asked.
+
+"To the hospital," Tim said. "That is where they make people normal again."
+
+"Will she come back?" Lily asked.
+
+"I hope so," Tim said. "She makes good cookies."
+
+They went back to their game. They played with their cars and made noises. But they also thought about Mrs. Lee. They wished her well. They wanted to see her again.
+Lily was sad. She had a bad day at school. Some kids were mean to her and said she was weird. She did not like that. She wanted to be normal.
+
+When she came home, her mom saw her face. She knew Lily was sad. She gave her a hug and said, "What's wrong, honey?"
+
+Lily told her mom what happened. She said, "They said I'm weird because I like to read books and play with dolls. They said normal kids like to play soccer and watch TV. I don't like soccer and TV. Am I weird, mom?"
+
+Her mom shook her head and said, "No, Lily, you're not weird. You're special. You have your own interests and talents. That's what makes you unique and wonderful. Normal is boring. Don't let anyone make you feel bad for being yourself."
+
+Lily smiled a little and said, "Thank you, mom. You're the best."
+
+Her mom said, "You're welcome, sweetie. Now, how about a nice warm bath to make you feel better?"
+
+Lily nodded and said, "Yes, please."
+
+Her mom filled the bathtub with water and bubbles. She added some toys and a rubber duck. She helped Lily get in and said, "Have fun, honey. I'll be right here if you need me."
+
+Lily splashed and played in the bathtub. She felt the water and bubbles comfort her skin. She made the rubber duck quack and the toys swim. She forgot about the mean kids and the bad day. She felt happy and normal. She loved her mom and her bathtub.
+Lila was a thin girl who liked to wander. She liked to see new things and meet new people. One day, she wandered far from her home. She saw a big field with many green plants. She walked into the field and felt the plants tickle her legs.
+
+She saw some people working in the field. They had big hats and baskets. They were picking the plants and putting them in the baskets. Lila was curious. She went to one of the people and said hello. The person smiled and said hello back. He showed Lila what he was picking. He said it was rice.
+
+Lila had never seen rice before. She asked what it was for. The person said it was for eating. He said rice was good and filling. He said he would give Lila some rice if she helped him pick some more. Lila agreed. She liked to help and she was hungry.
+
+Lila and the person worked together for a while. They filled a basket with rice. The person thanked Lila and gave her a handful of rice. He said she could take it home and cook it with water and salt. He said it would taste yummy. Lila thanked the person and said goodbye. She took the rice and wandered back to her home.
+
+She showed her mom the rice and told her the story. Her mom was happy and proud. She said Lila was a good and brave girl. She said she would cook the rice for dinner. She said they would have a feast. Lila was happy and excited. She hugged her mom and waited for the rice to be ready. She thought it would be the best rice ever.
+Tom and Lily were playing with their toys in the garden. They had a lot of fun with their cars, dolls and balls. They liked to make noises and pretend they were on adventures.
+
+But then they saw a man with a big bag. He was wearing a mask and a hat. He looked like a thief. He was sneaking around the houses and looking for things to take.
+
+"Look, Lily, a thief!" Tom whispered. "He is bad. He wants to steal our toys. We have to stop him."
+
+"How?" Lily asked. "He is big and we are small. He might hurt us."
+
+Tom had an idea. He saw an orange cat on the fence. The cat was sleeping and did not see the thief. Tom picked up a ball and threw it at the cat. The ball hit the cat and the cat woke up. The cat was angry and scared. It jumped off the fence and landed on the thief's head.
+
+"Meow!" the cat yelled. "Scratch, scratch, scratch!" the cat did. The thief screamed and dropped his bag. He ran away as fast as he could.
+
+"Yay, we did it!" Tom and Lily cheered. "We scared the thief away. The cat helped us. The cat is orange and brave."
+
+The cat jumped off the thief's head and ran to Tom and Lily. It rubbed its head against their legs and purred. It wanted to say thank you and be their friend.
+
+"Hello, cat," Tom and Lily said. "You are a good cat. Do you want to play with us?"
+
+The cat nodded and followed them to their toys. They played together until it was time to go inside. They gave the cat some milk and a hug. They named the cat Hero. They hoped the thief would never come back.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a cute dog. The dog has black and white strips on its fur. Lily and Ben want to pet the dog.
+
+"Hello, dog. Can we pet you?" Lily asks. The dog wags its tail and licks Lily's hand. Lily smiles and pets the dog's head. Ben also pets the dog's back.
+
+The dog is happy. It jumps and runs around Lily and Ben. It barks and makes funny noises. Lily and Ben laugh and chase the dog.
+
+But the dog is not a good dog. It is a bad dog. It belongs to a mean man. The mean man sees Lily and Ben playing with his dog. He gets angry. He runs to the park and yells at Lily and Ben.
+
+"Hey, you! Get away from my dog! He is not your toy! He is mine!" the mean man shouts. He grabs the dog by its collar and pulls it away from Lily and Ben. The dog whines and tries to get free.
+
+Lily and Ben are scared. They stand still and look at the mean man. They do not know what to do. They want to say sorry, but they are too afraid.
+
+The mean man kicks Lily and Ben. He hurts them. He says bad words to them. He tells them to go away and never come back. He takes his dog and leaves.
+
+Lily and Ben cry. They are hurt and sad. They hug each other and walk home. They do not like the park anymore. They do not like the cute dog anymore. They do not like the mean man at all. They wish they never saw the dog with the strips.
+Anna loved to play with her violin. She liked to make sounds with the bow and the strings. Sometimes she played happy sounds, sometimes she played sad sounds. She always played when her mom and dad were home.
+
+One day, Anna wanted to play with her violin, but her mom and dad were not home. They went to work and left her with her grandma. Grandma was nice, but she did not like the violin. She said it was too loud and made her head hurt.
+
+"Anna, please put your violin away," Grandma said. "It is time for your nap."
+
+"But I don't want to nap," Anna said. "I want to play."
+
+"No, you need to rest," Grandma said. "You can play later, when your mom and dad come back."
+
+Anna did not like to nap. She thought it was boring and a waste of time. She wanted to play with her violin more. She had an idea. She said, "OK, Grandma, I will put my violin away. But can I keep it in my room?"
+
+Grandma nodded. "Yes, you can keep it in your room. But don't play with it. Just sleep."
+
+Anna smiled. She took her violin and went to her room. She closed the door and waited. She waited until she heard Grandma snoring in the living room. Then she took out her violin and started to play.
+
+She played very softly, so Grandma would not hear. She played her favorite sounds, the ones that made her happy. She did not notice that it was getting dark outside. She did not notice that her mom and dad were coming back. She did not notice that they opened the door and heard her playing.
+
+"Anna, what are you doing?" Mom asked. "You should be sleeping."
+
+Anna stopped playing. She looked at Mom and Dad. They looked angry and surprised. She felt scared and guilty.
+
+"I'm sorry, Mom, Dad," Anna said. "I just wanted to play with my violin."
+
+Mom and Dad looked at each other. Then they looked at Anna. They saw her violin and her smile. They saw how much she loved to play. They felt sorry and proud.
+
+"It's OK, Anna," Dad said. "We understand. You love your violin. But you also need to listen to Grandma and nap sometimes."
+
+"Yes, Anna," Mom said. "We are happy that you play so well. But you also need to respect Grandma and be quiet sometimes."
+
+Anna nodded. She understood. She loved her violin, but she also loved her mom and dad and grandma. She hugged them and said, "I'm sorry. I love you."
+
+They hugged her back and said, "We love you too."
+
+They took her violin and put it away. They tucked her in and kissed her goodnight. They turned off the light and left her room. Anna closed her eyes and fell asleep. She dreamed of playing her violin again.
+Lily likes to read books. She has many books in her room. Some books have pictures, some books have stories, some books have words. Lily likes to learn new words. She has a big book with many words. It is called a dictionary.
+
+One day, Lily wants to read her dictionary. She looks for it in her room, but she cannot find it. She asks her mom, "Mom, where is my dictionary?" Her mom says, "I don't know, Lily. Maybe you left it in the living room." Lily goes to the living room, but she cannot find it there either. She asks her dad, "Dad, where is my dictionary?" Her dad says, "I don't know, Lily. Maybe you left it in the kitchen." Lily goes to the kitchen, but she cannot find it there either.
+
+Lily feels sad and angry. She wants her dictionary. She thinks someone took it. She starts to shout, "Who took my dictionary? Give it back to me! It is mine!" She shouts so loud that her mom and dad come to see what is wrong. They see Lily crying and shouting in the kitchen. They try to calm her down. They say, "Lily, don't shout. Nobody took your dictionary. Maybe you just forgot where you put it. Let's look for it together."
+
+They look for the dictionary in the house. They look in the bathroom, in the closet, in the garage, but they cannot find it. Lily feels more sad and angry. She thinks her dictionary is lost forever. She says, "I want my dictionary. It is my favorite book. It has many words. I need it to learn."
+
+Then, they hear a sound from the backyard. It is a bark. It is Lily's dog, Max. Max is a blue dog. He has blue fur and blue eyes. He is very playful and curious. He likes to chew on things. They go to the backyard and see Max. Max has something in his mouth. It is Lily's dictionary. He found it in Lily's room and took it to the backyard. He was chewing on it and playing with it.
+
+Lily sees her dictionary. She runs to Max and takes it from him. She says, "Max, bad dog! You took my dictionary! You made it dirty and wet and torn! How could you do that?" She scolds Max and hugs her dictionary. She is happy to have it back, but she is also sad to see it damaged.
+
+Her mom and dad see what happened. They say, "Lily, we are sorry. We didn't know Max took your dictionary. He didn't mean to hurt it. He just wanted to have fun. He loves you and your books. He is a good dog. Can you forgive him?"
+
+Lily looks at Max. Max looks at Lily. He wags his tail and licks her face. He is sorry and he wants to make her happy. Lily smiles and says, "Max, I forgive you. You are a good dog. But you cannot take my books. They are not for chewing. They are for reading. Do you understand?" Max barks and nods. He understands. He is a smart dog.
+
+Lily hugs Max and her dictionary. She says, "I love you, Max. And I love my dictionary. It is still my favorite book. It has many words. I can still learn from it. Even if it is dirty and wet and torn. It is still a good book." Her mom and dad hug Lily and Max. They say, "We love you, Lily. And we love your dictionary. It is a good book. And you are a good girl. You are smart and kind and brave. You can learn many words and many things. We are proud of you." They all go inside and read the dictionary together. They learn new words and have fun. They are a happy family.
+Lila and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to dig in the sand and look for shiny things. Sometimes they found coins, buttons, or rings. They put them in a small box that they hid under a bush.
+
+One day, they saw a big hole in the sand. Someone had dug it and left. Lila and Ben ran to the hole, eager to see what was inside. They knelt down and peered into the dark.
+
+"Wow, look at that!" Ben said. He pointed to a round, copper thing that glowed in the sun. It had strange marks on it. "What is it?"
+
+"I don't know," Lila said. "Maybe it's a treasure. Maybe it's very old and valuable. Maybe it belongs to a king or a queen."
+
+They reached for the copper thing, but before they could touch it, they heard a loud voice.
+
+"Hey, you two! Get away from there! That's mine!"
+
+They looked up and saw a man with a dirty hat and a shovel. He looked angry and scary. He ran towards them, waving his shovel.
+
+Lila and Ben were scared. They dropped the box and ran away. They did not want to fight with the man. They did not want to get hurt.
+
+They ran to their mom, who was sitting on a bench. She hugged them and asked them what happened. They told her about the hole, the copper thing, and the man.
+
+"That sounds like a metal detector," mom said. "Some people use them to find metal things in the ground. They think they can find old coins or jewelry. But they should not dig in the park. It's not nice. It's not safe."
+
+Lila and Ben nodded. They understood. They did not want to dig in the park anymore. They wanted to play somewhere else. Somewhere fun and friendly. Somewhere where they could find their own shiny things.
+Tim and Lily were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make food with the pots and pans. They used water, flour, sugar and other things they could find.
+
+"Let's make a cake!" said Lily. "We need eggs, butter, milk and salt."
+
+"Salt?" asked Tim. "Why do we need salt for a cake?"
+
+"Because it makes it yummy!" said Lily. "Trust me, I know. I saw it on TV."
+
+Tim shrugged and looked for the salt. He saw a big jar on the shelf. He reached for it, but it was too high. He got a chair and climbed on it. He grabbed the jar and opened it.
+
+"Be careful!" said Lily. "Don't spill it!"
+
+But Tim was not careful. He spilled some of the salt on the floor. He also spilled some on his tongue. He made a face.
+
+"Yuck!" he said. "This salt is not yummy. It is dull and bitter. It hurts my mouth."
+
+Lily laughed. "That's not salt, silly. That's baking soda. You need to find the salt in the small blue box."
+
+Tim looked at the jar. It said "baking soda" in big letters. He felt silly. He put the jar back and got the blue box. He tasted a little bit of the salt. It was salty, but not dull or bitter.
+
+"Here is the salt," he said. "Let's make the cake now."
+
+"OK," said Lily. "But don't put too much. Just a pinch."
+
+They mixed the ingredients and put them in a pan. They asked Mom to put it in the oven. They waited for the cake to bake. They hoped it would be yummy. They were happy they found the salt.
+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play together in the park. One day, they see a big box under a tree. They are curious. What is in the box?
+
+They go to the box and open it. Surprise! It is a big teddy bear. The teddy bear has a red bow and a smile. It is very soft and friendly. Lily and Tom hug the teddy bear. They are happy.
+
+Then, they hear a voice. It is Lily's mom. She is behind the tree. She says, "Happy birthday, Lily! I have a surprise for you. It is the teddy bear. Do you like it?"
+
+Lily is very surprised. She did not know it was her birthday. She says, "Thank you, mom! I love the teddy bear. It is the best gift ever!"
+
+Tom is happy for Lily. He says, "Happy birthday, Lily! You are my best friend. I have a surprise for you, too. It is a song. I made it for you. Do you want to hear it?"
+
+Lily says, "Yes, please! I want to hear your song."
+
+Tom sings a song for Lily. It is a funny and sweet song. He sings about how they met, how they play, and how they share. Lily laughs and claps. She likes the song.
+
+Lily and Tom are very happy. They have a surprise party with the teddy bear, the song, and the cake. They are the best friends ever.
+Lily liked to help her dad deliver food to people. He had a big truck with many boxes inside. Lily helped him put the boxes on a cart and push it to the doors. She liked to ring the bell and say hello.
+
+One day, they had a special box with a big red sticker. Dad said it was very important. It had tomatoes inside. Tomatoes were red and round and good to eat. Lily liked tomatoes. She wanted to see them.
+
+Dad said they had to go to a big building with many windows. It was a hospital. People who were sick or hurt went there. The tomatoes were for the people who cooked food for them. Lily thought that was nice.
+
+They parked the truck and took the cart to the back door. A lady with a white hat opened it. She smiled when she saw the box with the sticker. She said thank you and gave Lily a hug. She said the tomatoes were very fresh and would make the food taste better. Lily felt happy.
+
+She helped dad put the empty box back on the cart. She asked him if they could have some tomatoes for lunch. Dad said yes. He said he was proud of her for helping him deliver the important box. He said he loved her. Lily said she loved him too. They got back in the truck and drove away.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, they go to the park with their moms. They see a big slide. It looks cool.
+
+"Can we go on the slide, mom?" Lily asks.
+
+"Sure, honey. But be careful and wait your turn," mom says.
+
+Lily and Ben run to the slide. They wait for the other kids to go first. Then, it is their turn. Lily goes first. She sits on the slide and pushes herself down. She feels the wind in her hair and the sun on her face. She laughs.
+
+"Wow, that was fun!" she says.
+
+Ben goes next. He sits on the slide and pushes himself down. He feels the slide go fast and twist. He feels his stomach go up and down. He screams.
+
+"Help, help! I don't like this!" he says.
+
+Lily hears Ben. She runs to the bottom of the slide. She sees Ben crying. She hugs him.
+
+"It's okay, Ben. You are safe now. The slide is over," she says.
+
+Ben stops crying. He hugs Lily back.
+
+"Thank you, Lily. You are a good friend. You own my stomach," he says.
+
+Lily smiles. She does not know what Ben means. But she thinks it is a nice thing to say.
+
+"You are welcome, Ben. You are a good friend too. You own my heart," she says.
+
+They hold hands and walk to their moms. They tell them about the slide. Mom gives them juice and cookies. They share and eat. They feel happy. They are cool.
+Lily was sick. She had a bad cough and a sore throat. Mommy gave her some medicine, but it was yucky. It was purple and bitter. Lily did not want to drink it.
+
+"Please, Lily, you have to take your medicine. It will make you feel better," Mommy said.
+
+"But it's gross, Mommy. I don't like it," Lily whined.
+
+Mommy smiled and hugged Lily. "I know, sweetie, but it's good for you. How about this? If you drink your medicine, I will read you a story. Your favorite story, about the bird who can soar high in the sky."
+
+Lily loved that story. She wanted to hear how the bird flew over the mountains and the clouds and the rainbow. She wanted to see the pictures of the bird's colorful feathers and bright eyes.
+
+"Okay, Mommy, I will drink my medicine. But only if you read me the story," Lily said.
+
+"Deal," Mommy said. She helped Lily drink the purple medicine. Lily made a face, but she swallowed it. Then she snuggled with Mommy on the couch and listened to the story. She imagined she was the bird who could soar high in the sky. She felt happy and warm. She forgot about her cough and her sore throat. She fell asleep in Mommy's arms.
+Lily and Ben are twins. They were born with a problem in their hearts. The doctor said they need an operation to fix it. The operation is difficult and they have to stay in the hospital for a long time.
+
+Lily and Ben are scared. They do not like the hospital. They miss their home and their toys and their dog. They want to be together, but they have to sleep in different rooms. They cry every night.
+
+One day, the nurse comes to their rooms. She has a big smile and a surprise. She says, "Lily and Ben, I have good news for you. The doctor said you are ready for your operation. And you can have it together, in the same room. You can unite your hearts and be stronger."
+
+Lily and Ben are happy. They hug the nurse and thank her. They say, "We love you, nurse. You are very kind. We are not scared anymore. We want to unite our hearts and be stronger."
+
+The next day, Lily and Ben have their operation. The doctor and the nurse are very careful and gentle. They fix their hearts and make them healthy. Lily and Ben hold hands and smile. They feel their hearts beat together. They are united and strong. They are twins.
+Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and swing. They saw a big oak tree with many leaves. They wanted to climb it and see the sky.
+
+"Come on, Lily, let's go up!" Ben said. He ran to the tree and grabbed a branch.
+
+"Wait for me, Ben!" Lily said. She followed him and reached for another branch.
+
+They climbed higher and higher. They felt the wind and the sun on their faces. They were happy and brave.
+
+But then they heard a loud roar. It came from behind the tree. It sounded like a big animal. It scared them very much.
+
+"Ben, what is that?" Lily asked. She hugged the branch and looked around.
+
+"I don't know, Lily. Maybe it's a lion or a bear!" Ben said. He hugged the branch too and tried to see.
+
+They were very afraid. They wanted to go down and run away. But they did not know how to climb down. They were stuck on the tree.
+
+"Help! Help!" they shouted. They hoped someone would hear them and save them.
+
+But no one came. The roar came again. It was louder and closer. It made the tree shake.
+
+"Ben, Lily, are you there?" a voice said. It was their dad. He had come to the park to find them.
+
+"Dad! Dad! Help us!" Ben and Lily said. They were so happy to hear their dad.
+
+They saw their dad walk around the tree. He was holding a big toy. It was a dinosaur. It had a button that made it roar.
+
+"Dad, is that your toy?" Ben asked.
+
+"Yes, it is. I wanted to surprise you and play with you. But I didn't mean to scare you. I'm sorry." their dad said.
+
+He put the toy down and helped them climb down. He hugged them and kissed them.
+
+"It's okay, dad. We forgive you. But don't do that again. It was too scary." Lily said.
+
+"I won't, I promise. I love you, Ben and Lily. You are very brave." their dad said.
+
+They smiled and hugged their dad. They were not scared anymore. They were glad to be safe and together. They decided to play with the dinosaur, but only in a mild way.
+Anna was lonely. She had no friends to play with at school. The other kids did not like her because she was new and shy. She only had her doll, Lily, to talk to.
+
+One day, Anna saw a big boy with a belt. The belt had many shiny things on it. Anna liked shiny things. She wanted to see the belt better. She walked up to the boy and said, "Hello, can I see your belt?"
+
+The boy looked at Anna and frowned. He did not like her. He said, "No, you can't. This is my belt. Go away, you are annoying."
+
+Anna felt sad. She did not understand why the boy was mean. She said, "Please, I just want to look. I won't touch it. I think your belt is pretty."
+
+The boy got angry. He said, "I said no! You are a baby. You don't know anything. Leave me alone!" He pushed Anna away and ran off with his belt.
+
+Anna fell down and hurt her knee. She cried. She felt lonely and hurt. She wished she had a friend. She hugged Lily and said, "Lily, you are my only friend. You are nice to me. You don't push me or yell at me. You seem to care about me. I love you, Lily."
+Sara liked to catch crickets in the grass. She put them in a jar with some leaves and holes. She wanted to sell them to her friends. She made a sign that said "Crickets for sale. One coin each."
+
+She took her jar and her sign to the park. She saw Ben and Lily playing with a ball. She waved to them and said "Do you want to buy a cricket? They are fun and make noise."
+
+Ben and Lily came to see her jar. They looked at the crickets. They liked their green and brown colors. They liked their long legs and wings. They liked their chirping sounds.

+
+They wanted to see what she was doing. They ran behind a tree and peeked. The lady was reading a book. She had a strange stick in her hand. She said some words and waved the stick. The cat jumped and turned into a bird. The lady smiled and put the bird on her shoulder.
+
+Tom and Lily were scared. They wanted to run away. But the lady saw them. She said, "Hello, children. Do you want to see some magic?" She waved her stick again. The bench turned into a bike. The lady said, "Hop on. I'll show you the world."
+
+Tom and Lily did not want to go with the lady. They thought she was a bad witch. They said, "No, thank you. We have to go home." They turned and ran as fast as they could.

+
+Tom and Lily ran to their mom. They told her what they saw. Their mom said, "Don't worry. That was not a witch. That was Mrs. Green. She is a nice lady. She likes to do tricks and jokes. She is very funny." Tom and Lily did not believe their mom. They said, "She was a witch. She had a cat and a stick and a bird. She was scary." Their mom said, "Maybe she was a good witch. Maybe she wanted to make you happy. Maybe you should say hello to her next time." Tom and Lily said, "No, thank you. We don't like witches. We like the park." They hugged their mom and played some more.
+Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play with their toys. One day, they found a bottle of wine in the kitchen. They did not know what it was, but it looked pretty and shiny. They wanted to drink some, but they were too small to reach the bottle.
+
+They saw a big pair of scissors on the table. They had an idea. They used the scissors to cut the bottle and make it smaller. They thought they were very clever. They poured some wine into a cup and drank it.
+
+But something strange happened. The wine was not good for them. It made them feel dizzy and sick. And it also made them shrink! They became as small as their toys. They were scared and sorry. They wished they had not touched the wine.
+
+Their mom came home and saw the mess in the kitchen. She saw the cut bottle and the spilled wine. She was angry and worried. She looked for Anna and Ben, but she could not find them. She heard them crying from the floor. She saw them as tiny as ants. She was shocked and sad.
+
+She quickly took them to the doctor. The doctor gave them some medicine to make them grow back. He told them that wine was not for children. He said it was harmful and dangerous. He said they should never cut things with scissors without asking. He said they should listen to their mom and be good.
+
+Anna and Ben learned their lesson. They said sorry to their mom and hugged her. They promised to be careful and obey. They were happy to be big again. They played with their toys and forgot about the wine. They knew it was not worth it.

+
+"Yes, really. I work hard to grow olives and sell them. I have a big farm with many olive trees. I pick the olives and wash them and pack them. Then I drive the truck to different places and sell them. It is a lot of work, but I enjoy it."
+
+"Can we see your farm?" Tom and Mia ask.
+
+"Sure, why not? If you want, you can come with me and see how I work. You can also help me a little bit. It will be fun. Do you want to come?"

+One day, they found a big stick and decided to poke the water with it. They hoped to make the alligators come out and show their teeth. They did not value the danger they were in. They thought it was fun to tease the alligators.
+
+They saw a calm alligator lying on the shore. It looked like it was sleeping. Sam said, "Let's poke it and see what it does." Ben said, "OK, but be careful. It might be angry." Sam said, "Don't worry, it's just a lazy alligator. It won't hurt us."
+
+Sam walked slowly towards the alligator with the stick. He reached out and touched its tail. The alligator did not move. Sam said, "See, it's not scary. It's just a big lizard." He poked it again, harder. The alligator still did not move. Sam said, "This is boring. Let's find another one."
+
+He turned around and walked back to Ben. He did not see the alligator open its eyes and snap its jaws. He did not hear the alligator roar and chase him. He did not feel the alligator bite his leg and drag him into the water. He did not scream for help.
+
+Ben saw everything. He dropped the stick and ran away. He cried and cried. He wished he had never played near the river. He wished he had never poked the alligator. He wished he had his brother back. He learned to value his life and his family. But it was too late.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play together, but they also like to win. They are competitive. One day, their mom gives them a big chocolate cake. She says, "You can share this cake, but you have to eat it at the table. And you have to use a fork and a plate. No mess, okay?"
+
+Anna and Ben nod. They love chocolate cake. They run to the table and seat on their chairs. They each take a fork and a plate. They look at the cake. It is round and brown and smells good. They want to eat it all.
+
+Anna says, "I want the biggest piece. I am older than you. I was born first."
+
+Ben says, "No, I want the biggest piece. I am stronger than you. I can lift more toys."
+
+They start to argue. They point their forks at each other. They do not share. They do not listen. They do not see their mom watching them.
+
+Their mom says, "Stop! That is not nice. You have to be kind and fair. You have to divide the cake in half. One half for Anna, one half for Ben. Then you can enjoy it together."
+
+Anna and Ben look at their mom. They feel sorry. They say, "Sorry, mom. Sorry, twin. You are right. We have to share. We have to be kind and fair."
+
+They put their forks down. They cut the cake in half. They give each other a hug. They say, "Thank you, mom. Thank you, twin. We love you. We love chocolate cake."
+
+They eat their cake. They smile. They are happy. They are not competitive anymore. They are friends.
+Lily was a big girl who liked to help her grandma. Grandma had a bad leg and used a cane to walk. Sometimes, Lily would hold grandma's hand and support her when they went to the park or the store.
+
+One day, Lily saw a new cane in grandma's room. It was shiny and had flowers on it. Lily thought it was pretty and wanted to try it. She took the cane and walked around the room, pretending to be grandma.
+
+"Look, grandma, I'm like you!" Lily said, smiling.
+
+Grandma saw Lily with her cane and felt unhappy. She needed her cane to go outside and do things. She did not like to stay in her room all day. She also did not like that Lily took her cane without asking.
+
+"Lily, that is not a toy. That is my cane. I need it to walk. Please give it back to me," grandma said, in a stern voice.
+
+Lily felt bad. She did not mean to make grandma unhappy. She thought grandma would like her new cane. She gave the cane back to grandma and said sorry.
+
+"I'm sorry, grandma. I just wanted to be like you. I like your new cane. It is very pretty," Lily said, in a soft voice.
+
+Grandma smiled and hugged Lily. She was not angry anymore. She understood that Lily was curious and wanted to have fun. She also loved Lily very much and appreciated her help.
+
+"Thank you, Lily. I like my new cane too. It is a gift from your mom. She knows I love flowers. But I love you more. You are a good girl and you support me a lot. You make me happy," grandma said, in a kind voice.
+
+Lily felt happy too. She hugged grandma back and said she loved her. She also said she would not take her cane again without asking. She asked grandma if they could go to the park and feed the ducks. Grandma said yes and they got ready to go. Lily held grandma's hand and supported her as they walked. They both felt comfortable and glad.
+Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play outside in the snow. They wear hats, coats, gloves and boots to keep warm. They make a snowman, throw snowballs and slide on the ice.
+
+One day, Tom sees a shiny red sled in his neighbor's yard. He wants to try it. He tells Anna to come with him. Anna says no. She says it is not their sled. It is wrong to take it. Tom does not listen. He runs to the sled and gets on it. He tells Anna to hurry up.
+
+Anna is scared. She does not want to get in trouble. She follows Tom to the sled. She gets on it behind him. Tom pushes the sled down the hill. It goes very fast. They laugh and scream.
+
+But then, the sled hits a rock. It flips over. Tom and Anna fall off. They land in a pile of snow. They are not hurt, but they are cold and wet. They look for the sled. It is broken. The red paint is scratched. The metal is bent.
+
+They hear a voice. It is their neighbor. He is angry. He saw them take his sled. He asks them why they did it. Tom and Anna are sorry. They say they are sorry. They say they just wanted to have fun. They say they did not mean to break it.
+
+The neighbor is still angry. He says they should not have taken his sled. He says it was a gift from his grandfather. He says it was very special to him. He says they have to pay for it. He says they have to work for him. He says they have to shovel his driveway, rake his leaves and wash his car.
+
+Tom and Anna are sad. They have to work hard. They miss playing with their friends. They learn their lesson. They learn to respect other people's things. They learn to listen to their conscience. They learn to say no to bad ideas. They learn to be honest and kind. They wear their warm clothes and their step is careful. They hope their neighbor will forgive them. They hope they can be friends again.
+Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play in the garden. One day, they see a cactus in a pot. It has many sharp needles.
+
+"Look, a cactus!" Tom says. "I want to touch it."
+
+"No, Tom, don't touch it!" Anna says. "It will hurt you. It is not nice."
+
+But Tom does not listen. He wants to see how the cactus feels. He reaches out his hand and pokes the cactus.
+
+"Ow!" Tom cries. "It hurts! It hurts!" He pulls back his hand and sees blood. He starts to cry.
+
+Anna runs to him and hugs him. She feels sorry for him. She speaks to him in a soft voice.
+
+"I told you not to touch it, Tom. You should listen to your friends. They want to help you. They know what is good and bad for you."
+
+Tom nods. He is sorry too. He speaks to Anna in a sorry voice.
+
+"I am sorry, Anna. You are right. I should listen to you. You are a good friend. Can you forgive me?"
+
+Anna smiles. She speaks to Tom in a happy voice.
+
+"Of course, I forgive you, Tom. You are a good friend too. Come, let's go and wash your hand. Then we can play something else. Something that is not sharp and not hurtful."
+
+They go to the sink and wash Tom's hand. Then they go back to the garden and play with a ball. They have fun. They are happy.

+
+"Hello, can we have a banana and a cookie, please?" Sara asks the lady at the snack stand.
+

+
+Sara and Ben give the lady two dollars. They take their snacks and sit on a bench.

+
+"You're welcome. Enjoy," the lady says.
+
+Sara peels her banana and takes a bite. She makes a funny face.
+
+"Yuck! This banana is sour!" she says.
+
+Ben laughs. He thinks Sara's face is a joke.
+
+"That's not a banana, silly. That's a lemon!" he says.
+
+Sara looks at her snack. She sees that it is yellow and has a pointy end. She realizes that the lady gave her a lemon instead of a banana.
+
+"That's not nice. The lady tricked us. She did not supply us with the right snacks," she says.
+
+Ben stops laughing. He feels sorry for Sara.
+
+"I'm sorry, Sara. That was not funny. That was mean. Do you want to trade snacks? You can have my cookie and I can have your lemon," he says.
+
+Sara smiles. She thinks Ben is a good friend.
+
+"Thank you, Ben. That is very kind of you. You can have my lemon if you want. But I don't think you will like it. It is very sour," she says.
+
+Ben takes the lemon and bites it. He makes a funny face too.
+
+"Wow! You're right. This lemon is very sour. It makes my mouth pucker," he says.
+
+Sara and Ben laugh together. They share the cookie and the lemon. They are still hungry, but they are happy. They learned a lesson. They learned to be careful with the snacks they get. And they learned to be nice to each other.
+There was a poor king who had no castle, no crown, and no friends. He lived in a small hut with his old horse and his dog. He was very sad and lonely.
+
+One day, he heard a loud noise outside his hut. He went to see what it was. He saw a big wagon full of gold and jewels. It was driven by a rich man who had a mean face and a big sword.
+
+"Who are you?" the poor king asked.
+
+"I am the new king of this land," the rich man said. "I have come to take everything you have. Give me your horse and your dog, or I will hurt you."
+
+The poor king was scared. He loved his horse and his dog. He did not want to lose them. He looked around for help, but there was no one.
+
+Then, he saw a small bird on a tree. The bird had bright feathers and a sweet voice. The bird flew down and landed on the poor king's shoulder.
+
+"Don't be afraid," the bird said. "I have a plan. Follow me."
+
+The bird led the poor king and his animals to a hidden cave in the woods. There, they found a cozy nest with soft grass and warm blankets.
+
+"Settle here," the bird said. "This is your new home. I will bring you food and water every day. The rich man will never find you here. You will be safe and happy."
+
+The poor king smiled. He hugged his horse and his dog. He thanked the bird for his kindness. He felt a warm feeling in his heart.
+
+He was not sad and lonely anymore. He had a new friend and a new home. He was the happy king of the cave.
+Anna and Ben like to play in the park. They run, jump, slide and swing. They have a lot of fun. But sometimes they get bored of the same games. One day, they see a big gate near the pond. The gate is old and rusty. It has bars that look like a ladder.
+
+"Let's try to balance on the gate!" Anna says. She is brave and curious. She climbs on the first bar and stands up. She holds on to the next bar with her hands. She tries to walk on the gate like a tightrope.
+
+"Be careful, Anna!" Ben says. He is not so brave. He is afraid of falling. He watches Anna from the ground. He hopes she does not get hurt.
+
+Anna smiles and says, "It's easy, Ben! Come and join me!" She takes a step forward. She feels proud and happy. She thinks she is a circus star.

+Ben runs to help her. He is scared and sorry. He says, "Oh no, Anna! Are you okay? I'm so sorry! It's my fault! I should have stopped you!"
+
+Anna shakes her head and says, "No, Ben. It's not your fault. It's the gate's fault. It's a poor gate. It's old and rusty. It can't balance anymore."
+
+Ben nods and says, "You're right, Anna. It's a poor gate. Let's get out of the pond. Let's go home. Let's tell mom and dad. They will make you feel better."

+Tom and Sam were brothers who liked to play in the woods. One day, they found a big axe near a tree. Tom wanted to use the axe to chop some wood, but Sam said no.
+
+"Tom, the axe is too big and heavy for you. You can hurt yourself or someone else. Let's leave it here and go home," Sam said.
+
+But Tom did not listen. He said, "I am big and strong. I can use the axe. You are just scared and weak. Go away and let me play."
+
+Sam was sad and angry. He did not want to fight with his brother, but he also did not want him to get hurt. He decided to go home and tell their mom.
+
+Tom tried to lift the axe, but it was too hard. He could not weigh it. He dropped it on his foot and cried out loud. He felt a lot of pain and blood. He wished he had listened to Sam.
+
+Sam heard Tom's cry and ran back to him. He saw his brother's foot and felt sorry for him. He helped him get up and took him home. Their mom saw them and was worried. She cleaned and bandaged Tom's foot and gave him a hug.
+
+"Tom, what happened? Why did you play with the axe? You know it is dangerous," she said.
+
+Tom was ashamed and sorry. He said, "I was foolish, mom. I did not listen to Sam. He tried to stop me, but I was mean to him. I wanted to use the axe, but it was too big and heavy for me. I hurt myself and made him sad. I am sorry, mom. I am sorry, Sam."
+
+Sam smiled and hugged his brother. He said, "It's okay, Tom. I forgive you. I love you, brother. Next time, let's play with something safe and fun, okay?"
+
+Tom nodded and said, "Okay, Sam. I love you, too. Thank you for helping me. You are a good brother."
+
+Their mom was proud and happy. She said, "You are both good boys. I love you both. Now, let's have some cookies and milk, and then rest. And remember, never play with things that can hurt you or others."

+
+"Can we play with the dog?" Lily asked Ben.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe we should ask his owner first," Ben said.
+
+They looked around and saw a man sitting on a bench. He was reading a book and had a hat on his ear. He did not see the children or the dog.

+They took turns throwing the ball for Max. He ran after it and brought it back. He wagged his tail and licked their faces. They laughed and had fun. The man watched them and smiled. He was glad they liked his dog. He did not mind sharing his ball. He liked to make new friends.

+
+"Hey, what are you doing?" he asked.

+
+He grabbed the bathrobe from Anna and tried to pull it off. Lily held on to the bathrobe and screamed.
+
+"Stop it! It's not yours! It's Anna's! You're hurting her!" Lily said.
+
+Jake didn't listen. He was stronger than Lily and he pulled harder. The bathrobe ripped in half. Jake laughed and threw the pieces on the floor.
+
+"Ha ha, look at your stupid doll. She has no bathrobe now. She's naked!" Jake said.
+
+Lily was very sad and angry. She picked up Anna and hugged her. She looked at Jake with tears in her eyes.
+
+"You're mean! You're a huge bully! I hate you!" Lily said.
+
+She ran out of the room and went to find her mom. She wanted to tell her what Jake did and how he ruined her game. She hoped her mom would answer her and make Jake say sorry. She loved her doll and her bathrobe. She didn't want to play with Jake ever again.

+"OK, but be careful. It might be someone's home," Lily said.
+
+They walked to the cabin and tried to open the door. It was stuck and hard to move. They pushed and pulled, but it did not open.
+
+"Maybe we need to help each other," Lily said.
+
+They held hands and pushed together. The door made a loud noise and opened a little bit. They saw a dark and dusty room inside. There was a table and a chair and a fireplace.
+
+"Wow, look at that!" Ben said.
+
+They heard a voice from inside the cabin. It was old and raspy and sounded angry.
+
+"Who's there? What are you doing? Go away!" the voice said.
+
+Ben and Lily were scared. They let go of the door and ran away. They did not want to bother the person in the cabin. They wanted to play somewhere else.
+
+"Sorry, mister. We did not mean to make you mad. We just wanted to see the cabin," Lily said as they ran.
+
+They did not look back. They found another spot in the woods to play. They decided to leave the cabin alone. They did not need to help it open.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park with their mom. They liked to swing, slide and run on the grass. They saw some ducks in the pond and threw some bread for them. They were having fun.
+
+But then Lily felt something in her tummy. She needed to go to the toilet. She told her mom and her mom said, "OK, let's go to the toilet. Ben, you can come too." They walked to the toilet near the park. It was a big toilet with many doors.
+
+Lily opened one of the doors and went inside. She saw a white thing with a hole and a handle. She knew it was a toilet, but it looked weird. It was not like the toilet at home. It was bigger and louder. She was scared.
+
+She called her mom and said, "Mom, this toilet is weird. I don't like it. Can we go home?" Her mom came to the door and said, "Don't worry, Lily. It's just a different toilet. It works the same way as the toilet at home. You just have to sit on it and flush it when you are done. I'll wait for you outside. You can do it."
+
+Lily remembered what her mom said. She remembered how to use the toilet at home. She took a deep breath and sat on the toilet. She did what she had to do and flushed it. It made a loud noise, but she was brave. She washed her hands and came out. She saw her mom and Ben waiting for her. They smiled and hugged her. They said, "Good job, Lily. You did it. You are a big girl." Lily felt proud and happy. She said, "Thank you, mom. Thank you, Ben. I did it. I used the weird toilet." They laughed and went back to the park. They played some more and had a great day.
+Lily and Ben are playing in the garden. They see a big, hairy dog. The dog is barking and running. Lily and Ben are scared.
+
+"Let's go inside!" Lily says. "The dog is angry!"
+
+They run to the door. But the door is locked. Lily and Ben do not have a key. They knock on the door. They hope mom or dad will hear them.
+
+The dog comes closer. He jumps on the fence. He tries to get in the garden. Lily and Ben cry.
+
+"Help! Help!" they shout.
+
+Then they see a point. It is on the wall. It is a red point. It is a button. Lily remembers what mom said.
+
+"If you see a red point, push it. It will make a loud noise. It will scare away bad things."
+
+Lily pushes the point. The point makes a loud noise. It is a siren. The dog hears the noise. He does not like the noise. He runs away.
+
+Lily and Ben are happy. They hug each other. They stop crying.
+
+Mom and dad come out. They hear the noise too. They see Lily and Ben. They are worried.
+
+"What happened?" mom asks.
+
+"A big, hairy dog!" Lily says. "He was angry! He wanted to get us!"
+
+"But we pushed the point!" Ben says. "The point scared him away!"
+
+Mom and dad are proud. They hug Lily and Ben.
+
+"You are very brave!" dad says. "You did the right thing!"
+
+They unlock the door. They go inside. They have cookies and milk. They are safe. They are happy. The end.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys in Lily's home. Lily has many toys. She has dolls, cars, blocks and books. Ben has few toys. He has a ball, a bear and a train.
+
+One day, Lily and Ben are playing with the blocks. They are building a tower. Lily wants to put the red block on top. Ben wants to put the blue block on top. Lily says, "No, the red block is mine. I own it. You can't use it." Ben says, "But I like the blue block. It is pretty. You have many blocks. You can use another one." Lily says, "No, I want the red block. It is the best. You have to do what I say. I am the boss in my home."
+
+Ben is sad and angry. He does not like Lily being bossy. He says, "You are not the boss of me. You are not nice. You are selfish. I don't want to play with you anymore." He takes his ball, his bear and his train and goes to his home.
+
+Lily is surprised and sorry. She likes Ben. She does not want to lose him. She says, "Ben, wait. Don't go. I am sorry. I was wrong. You can use the red block. You can use any block you want. Please come back and play with me."
+
+Ben stops and turns around. He sees Lily's face. She looks sad and sorry too. He says, "Really? You mean it? You are not bossy anymore?" Lily says, "Yes, I mean it. I am not bossy anymore. I want to share with you. You are my friend." Ben says, "OK, I forgive you. You are my friend too." He goes back to Lily's home. They hug and smile. They play with the blocks and have fun. They are happy.
+Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys and draw pictures. One day, they have a test at school. The test is hard. Sara and Ben do not know the answers.
+
+The teacher says, "Time is up. Give me your papers." Sara and Ben are scared. They think they will get bad marks.
+
+They go home and wait for their parents. Sara's mom comes first. She looks at Sara's paper and says, "Oh, Sara, you did very poor. You need to study more. No toys or pictures for you today. Go to your room."
+
+Sara is sad. She says, "But mom, the test was hard. Can I play with Ben?"
+
+Her mom says, "No, you cannot. Ben is a bad friend. He makes you lazy. You need to leave him alone."
+
+Sara cries. She loves Ben. She does not want to leave him. She goes to her room and feels lonely.
+
+Ben's dad comes next. He looks at Ben's paper and says, "Oh, Ben, you did very poor. You need to work harder. No toys or pictures for you today. Go to your room."
+
+Ben is sad. He says, "But dad, the test was hard. Can I play with Sara?"
+
+His dad says, "No, you cannot. Sara is a bad friend. She makes you silly. You need to leave her alone."
+
+Ben cries. He loves Sara. He does not want to leave her. He goes to his room and feels lonely.
+
+Sara and Ben do not see each other again. They miss each other a lot. They are unhappy. The end.
+Lily and Lila were twins. They looked the same and liked the same things. They had lovely dresses and dolls and books. They always played together and shared everything.
+
+One day, they went to the park with their mom. They saw a big slide and ran to it. They took turns to go down the slide and laughed a lot. But then, Lily saw a shiny balloon on a bench. She wanted it very much. She forgot to wait for Lila and ran to the balloon.
+
+Lila was sad. She did not see Lily anywhere. She looked for her on the slide, on the swings, on the sandbox. She could not find her. She felt alone and scared. She started to cry.
+
+Mom heard Lila crying and came to her. She asked her what was wrong. Lila told her that Lily was gone. Mom hugged her and said they would find Lily. She took her hand and walked around the park.
+
+Lily was happy with the balloon. She played with it and made it bounce. She did not think of Lila. She did not see that the balloon was tied to a string. She did not see that the string was loose. She did not see that the wind was blowing. She did not see that the balloon flew away.
+
+Lily was sad. She lost the balloon. She looked for it in the sky, but it was too far. She felt alone and scared. She started to cry.
+
+Mom heard Lily crying and came to her. She asked her what was wrong. Lily told her that she lost the balloon. Mom hugged her and said it was okay. She took her hand and walked around the park.
+
+Lily and Lila saw each other. They ran to each other and hugged. They said they were sorry. They said they missed each other. They said they loved each other.
+
+Mom smiled and said they were lucky to have each other. She said they should not forget to be kind and share. She said they should not forget to stay together and look after each other. She said they should not forget to have fun and be happy.

+
+Tom calls for help. He waits for a long time. He is sad. He wants to fly again. He does not know how to repair his plane. He sees a man walking towards him. The man has a hat and a toolbox. He is a mechanic. He can repair planes.
+
+"Hello, I am Bob. I heard your call. I came to help you. I can repair your plane. Do you have any spare parts?" the man says.
+
+"Hello, I am Tom. I am a pilot. I am happy to see you. I do not have any spare parts. I only have this plane. Can you fix it?" Tom says.
+
+"I will try. I have some tools and some skills. But it will take some time. And it will cost some money. Do you have any money available?" the man says.
+
+"I have some money. But not much. I need to fly again. I have many people to take to different places. Can you do it fast and cheap?" Tom says.
+
+"I will do my best. But I cannot promise anything. It depends on how bad the problem is. And how lucky we are. Let me see your plane. Maybe we can find a solution." the man says.
+
+The man and Tom go to the plane. They open the engine. They see a lot of wires and metal. They look for the problem. They work hard. They hope to repair the plane. They do not know that a cow is watching them. The cow is curious. It wants to see what they are doing. It walks closer and closer. It sees a shiny button. It likes shiny things.

They hope it will have a shiny button. They hope it will not have a cow.
+Ben and Sam were friends who liked to play with toys. Ben had a big jet that could fly and make noise. Sam wanted to play with the jet, but Ben did not want to share. He said, "This is my jet. You can't touch it. It is not easy to fly. You will spoil it."
+
+Sam felt sad and angry. He said, "You are not a good friend. You are mean and selfish. I will find a way to play with your jet." He waited until Ben went to the bathroom. Then he sneaked into Ben's room and grabbed the jet. He ran outside and threw the jet in the air.
+
+The jet flew for a moment, but then it fell down and hit a rock. It broke into pieces and stopped making noise. Sam was scared and sorry. He tried to fix the jet, but he could not. He heard Ben coming back and hid behind a bush.
+
+Ben saw his jet on the ground. He cried and shouted, "Who did this? Who spoiled my jet? It was my favorite toy. I hate you, whoever you are." He looked around and saw Sam hiding. He ran to him and pushed him. He said, "You did this. You are a bad boy. You are not my friend anymore. Go away and never come back."

+
+Sam takes the broom and tries to poke his plane. He stretches and pushes and wiggles the broom. He is careful not to knock down anything else. He finally touches his plane and makes it fall.

+Tim and Lily went to the park with Mom. They saw many things: trees, flowers, birds, swings, slides. They also saw a big statue of a man on a horse. The statue was gray and hard.
+
+"Who is that?" Tim asked Mom.

+Lily was a little girl who liked to wonder about many things. She wondered why the sky was blue, why the birds could fly, and why the moon changed shape. She asked her mom and dad many questions, but they did not always have time to answer.
+
+One day, Lily found a big suitcase in the attic. It was old and dusty, and had a shiny handle. Lily wondered what was inside. She pulled the handle and opened the suitcase. She saw many things that she did not know: a hat with feathers, a necklace with beads, a book with pictures, and a doll with a dress.
+
+"Wow!" Lily said. "These are so pretty! Whose are they?"
+
+"They are mine," a voice said. Lily turned around and saw her grandma. Her grandma smiled and sat next to her. "They are from when I was a little girl, like you. Do you want to hear some stories?"
+
+"Yes, please!" Lily said. She loved stories, and she wondered what her grandma did when she was young.
+
+Her grandma told her stories about the hat, the necklace, the book, and the doll. She told her about the places she visited, the people she met, and the adventures she had. Lily listened with wide eyes and asked many questions. She learned a lot of new things, and felt closer to her grandma.
+
+Meanwhile, Lily's brother Tom was in his room. He was playing with his video game. He did not like to wonder about anything. He thought it was boring and hard. He just liked to stay in his room and be lazy.
+
+"Tom, come downstairs!" his mom called. "It's time for dinner!"
+
+"Okay, okay," Tom said. He turned off his game and went downstairs. He saw Lily and his grandma at the table, smiling and talking. He wondered what they were so happy about.
+
+"Hi, Tom," Lily said. "Do you want to see what I found in the attic? It's so cool!"
+
+"No, thanks," Tom said. He did not care about the attic or the old things. He just wanted to eat and go back to his game.
+
+Lily shrugged. She did not mind. She knew that Tom was missing out on something wonderful. She was glad that she had a grandma who could share her stories and her wonder. She could not wait to go back to the attic and find more things to learn.
+Ben and Sam are brothers. They like to play with blocks. They have many blocks of different colors and shapes. They can make houses, towers, bridges and more with their blocks.

+
+"Look, Sam, our house is so big and strong!" Ben says.
+
+"Yes, Ben, it is very good. Let's add more lumber!" Sam says.
+

+
+Suddenly, the lumber falls down. It makes a loud noise. It breaks some of their blocks. It hurts Ben and Sam. They cry and scream. Their mom hears them and runs to them. She is scared and angry.
+

+
+Ben and Sam are sad and sorry. They wish they had not played with lumber. They wish they had listened to their mom. They wish they had a good ending.

+
+He gave his test to his teacher. His teacher looked at his test. His teacher was not happy. His teacher said, "Sam, you did not follow the instructions. You had to repeat each answer twice. You only wrote each answer once. You did not do the test right. You have to do it again."
+
+Sam was very sad. He did not understand. He thought he did the test right. He thought he was brilliant. He did not want to do the test again. He felt like crying. He did not like math anymore.

+
+"Look, Sara, I made my doll a new hairstyle!" Ben said, showing his doll with a messy, sticky hairdo.
+
+"Ben, you ruined your doll's hair!" Sara said, feeling angry and sad. "You can't cut and glue hair like that. It's bad and ugly. You need to repair your doll's hair."
+
+"Repair? How do I repair hair?" Ben asked, feeling confused and curious.
+
+"You need to wash and dry your doll's hair. Then you need to brush and trim your doll's hair. Then you need to say sorry to your doll for being ignorant." Sara said, feeling smart and helpful.
+
+"Ignorant? What does that mean?" Ben asked, feeling puzzled and interested.
+
+"Ignorant means you don't know something. You didn't know how to take care of your doll's hair. That's why you were ignorant. But you can learn and be better. Come on, I'll show you how to repair your doll's hair." Sara said, feeling kind and friendly.
+
+Sara and Ben went to the bathroom and washed and dried their dolls' hair. Then they went to the bedroom and brushed and trimmed their dolls' hair.

+
+"Yes, let's go!" Tom says.
+
+They push the board. The board goes fast. They laugh and scream. They feel the wind on their faces.
+
+But the hill is too large. The board goes too fast. They cannot stop. They see a big fence. The fence is in the west. The fence has sharp wires.
+
+"Look out!" Sara shouts.
+
+But it is too late. The board hits the fence. The wires cut Sara and Tom. They bleed. They cry. They hurt. They freeze. They cannot move.

+
+One day, Mia wanted to play with Spot, but Spot did not want to play. He was lying on the sofa, blinking his green eyes. Mia tried to make him move. She tickled his ears, pulled his tail, and threw a ball at him. Spot did not like that. He hissed and scratched Mia's hand. Mia cried and ran to her mom.
+
+Mom saw Mia's hand and put a band-aid on it. She told Mia that Spot was not a toy, and that she had to be gentle with him. She also told Mia that sometimes cats need their own space, and that she should respect that. Mia felt sorry for hurting Spot, and wanted to say sorry to him.
+
+She went back to the sofa, where Spot was still lying. She sat next to him, and whispered, "I'm sorry, Spot. I love you. Can we be friends again?" She reached out her hand slowly, and touched his fur. Spot blinked his eyes, and rubbed his head against her hand. He purred and licked her fingers. Mia smiled and hugged him. Spot did not mind. He was happy that Mia understood him. They snuggled on the sofa, and watched TV together. Mia learned a lesson that day, and Spot forgave her. They were best friends again.

+
+"Can I lick the spoon?" Ben asked.
+
+"No, we have to bake the cake first," Lily said. "We have to be quiet, so Mom doesn't hear us."
+
+They poured the batter into a pan and put it in the oven. They set the timer and waited. They did not make any noise. They sat on the floor and read some books. The silence was long.

+Tom and Anna are twins. They like to play with their toys in their room. Sometimes they fight over the same toy. One day, they see their mom's phone on the table. It is shiny and has many buttons. They both want to touch it.
+
+"Give me the phone!" Tom says. He tries to grab it from Anna.
+
+"No, it is mine!" Anna says. She holds the phone tight in her hands.
+
+They struggle and pull the phone. The phone makes a loud noise. It is ringing. Someone is calling their mom.
+
+"Hello?" a voice says from the phone. It is a long voice. It sounds like a man.
+
+Tom and Anna stop fighting. They are scared. They do not know who the voice is. They do not know what to say.
+
+"Who is this?" the voice says again. "Is this Tom or Anna?"
+
+Tom and Anna look at each other. They do not want to talk to the voice. They want to give the phone back to their mom. But their mom is not in the room. She is in the kitchen.
+
+They run to the kitchen with the phone. They see their mom making a cake. She is happy.
+
+"Mom, mom!" they say. "Someone is on the phone!"
+
+They give the phone to their mom. She looks surprised. She takes the phone and says hello.
+
+"Hi, honey, it's me," the voice says. It is their dad. He is at work. He is calling to say he loves them.
+
+Tom and Anna smile. They are not scared anymore. They are happy. They love their dad too.
+
+They say hello to their dad. They tell him about their toys and their cake. They say they are sorry for fighting over the phone.
+
+Their dad laughs. He says he is proud of them. He says he will be home soon.
+
+Tom and Anna hug their mom. They hug each other. They wait for their dad to come home. They do not fight over the phone anymore. They share it. They are good twins.
+Lila and Tom are playing with a ball in the park. They like to kick the ball to each other and run after it. Sometimes they kick the ball very hard and it goes far away.
+
+One time, they kick the ball so hard that it flies over the fence and lands in a big pile of cloth. The cloth is soft and colorful and has many shapes and sizes. Lila and Tom run to the fence and look at the cloth.
+
+"Wow, look at all the cloth!" Lila says. "Can we get our ball back?"
+
+"I don't know," Tom says. "Maybe someone owns the cloth. Maybe they will be mad if we touch it."
+
+Lila and Tom are curious and want to see the cloth. They find a hole in the fence and crawl through it. They walk to the pile of cloth and start to look for their ball.
+
+They see many different kinds of cloth. Some are big and some are small. Some are bright and some are dull. Some are smooth and some are rough. Some are for wearing and some are for covering.
+
+Lila finds a cloth that is pink and sparkly. She likes it very much. She wraps it around her and pretends to be a princess. She says, "Look at me, Tom! I am a princess! This cloth fits me well!"
+
+Tom finds a cloth that is blue and striped. He likes it too. He puts it on his head and pretends to be a pirate. He says, "Arrr, Lila! I am a pirate! This cloth fits me well!"
+
+Lila and Tom have fun playing with the cloth. They forget about their ball. They do not see the man who comes to the pile of cloth. He is the owner of the cloth. He is not happy to see Lila and Tom. He says, "Hey, you kids! What are you doing with my cloth? Get out of here!"
+
+Lila and Tom are scared. They drop the cloth and run back to the fence. They crawl through the hole and run to the park. They do not have their ball. They are sad and sorry. They say, "We are sorry, mister. We just wanted our ball. We did not mean to take your cloth."
+
+The man hears them and feels sorry too. He says, "Wait, kids. Don't go. I have your ball. Here, take it. And take some cloth too. You can keep it. You can play with it. Just don't come back here again."
+
+Lila and Tom are happy. They say, "Thank you, mister. Thank you for our ball. Thank you for the cloth. We will not come back here again. We will be good."
+
+They take their ball and some cloth and go back to the park. They kick the ball to each other and run after it. They also play with the cloth and pretend to be a princess and a pirate. They have fun and they are careful. They do not kick the ball too hard again.
+Tim and Mia like to play in the garden. They see many things: flowers, bugs, birds. One day, they see something new. It is big and round and orange. It has a long green stem.
+
+"What is that?" Tim asks.
+
+"I don't know. Let's find out," Mia says.
+
+They run to the orange thing. They touch it. It is hard and smooth. They try to lift it. It is heavy.
+
+"It is a squash," a voice says.
+
+They turn around. They see Grandpa. He is smiling.
+
+"Grandpa, what is a squash?" Mia asks.
+
+"A squash is a kind of fruit. You can eat it. I grow it in the garden. Do you want to try some?" Grandpa says.
+
+"Yes, please," Tim and Mia say.
+
+Grandpa takes them to the kitchen. He cuts the squash. He cooks it. He gives them some. It is soft and sweet.
+
+"Yummy," Tim and Mia say.
+
+They like the squash. They thank Grandpa. They go back to the garden. They look for more things to find. They are happy.
+Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play together. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big circle that they could roll, bounce and spin. They called it their fun circle.
+
+One day, they decided to play a joke on their teacher, Miss Lee. They hid the fun circle behind a curtain and waited for her to come in. When she opened the door, they pushed the circle out and shouted, "Surprise!"
+
+Miss Lee was not happy. She stumbled and fell over the circle. She hurt her knee and dropped her books. She looked at Lily and Ben with a serious face. "That was not a nice joke," she said. "You could have hurt me or yourselves. Jokes are supposed to be funny, not mean. How would you feel if someone did that to you?"
+
+Lily and Ben felt sorry. They saw that their joke was not funny, but mean. They helped Miss Lee get up and picked up her books. They apologized and hugged her. They said they would never do that again.
+
+Miss Lee smiled and forgave them. She said, "I'm glad you learned your lesson. Jokes are good when they make people laugh, not when they make people cry. Next time, think before you joke. And be careful with your fun circle. It's a nice toy, but not a weapon."
+
+Lily and Ben nodded and thanked her. They learned that jokes should be kind, not cruel. They played with their fun circle in a safe and fun way. They were happy and so was Miss Lee.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the kitchen. They saw a big jar of honey on the shelf. They wanted to taste it.
+
+"Let's get some honey," Lily said. "We can use this teaspoon."
+
+She took the teaspoon from the drawer and climbed on a chair. She reached for the jar.
+
+"Be careful," Ben said. "The jar is heavy. You might drop it."
+
+Lily did not listen. She was greedy. She wanted a lot of honey. She tried to load the teaspoon with honey, but the jar was too full. Honey spilled out of the jar and onto the floor.
+
+"Oh no!" Lily said. "We made a mess!"
+
+She tried to put the jar back on the shelf, but it was too late. The jar slipped from her hand and fell to the floor. It broke into pieces. Honey and glass were everywhere.
+
+"Help!" Lily and Ben cried. "We are in trouble!"
+
+Mom heard the noise and came to the kitchen. She saw the honey and the glass and the children. She was angry.
+
+"What have you done?" Mom said. "You were foolish. You could have hurt yourselves. You wasted the honey. You broke the jar. You are very naughty."
+
+She took Lily and Ben to their room. She cleaned the kitchen. She did not give them any honey. She did not give them any dessert. She did not read them a story. She did not hug them goodnight.
+
+Lily and Ben were sad. They wished they had listened to Ben. They wished they had not been foolish. They wished they had not played with the honey. They learned their lesson.
+Lily and Ben were friends. They liked to play in the farm. They liked to feed the animals. They liked to eat oats with milk.
+
+One day, they saw a big, ugly dog. The dog had sharp teeth and angry eyes. The dog barked loud and ran to them.
+
+"Run, Lily, run!" Ben said. He was very scared. He did not like the dog.
+
+Lily and Ben ran fast. They tried to find a safe place. They saw a barn. They ran to the barn. They hoped the dog would not follow them.
+
+But the dog was faster. The dog followed them to the barn. The dog jumped on them. The dog bit them. Lily and Ben cried. They were hurt. They were sad. They worried no one would help them.
+
+The dog ate their oats. The dog was happy. The dog was full. The dog left them alone.
+
+Lily and Ben were still in the barn. They were still hurt. They were still sad. They were still worried. They waited for someone to find them. But no one came. The end.
+Sara and Sam are twins. They are three years old. They are moving to a new house with Mom and Dad. They have many boxes with their toys and clothes.
+
+Sara is happy to unpack her box. She takes out her doll, her book, and her hat. She puts them on her bed. She smiles. She likes her new room.
+
+Sam is not happy to unpack his box. He does not want to move. He misses his old house and his friends. He kicks his box. He cries. He does not like his new room.
+
+Mom hears Sam cry. She comes to his room. She hugs him. She says, "I know you are sad, Sam. But this is our new home. We will make new friends. And you still have Sara. She is your twin. She loves you."
+
+Sam looks at Sara. Sara looks at Sam. She feels ashamed. She did not help Sam unpack. She did not share her toys. She did not comfort him. She says, "I'm sorry, Sam. I was selfish. Do you want to play with my doll? Or read my book? Or wear my hat?"
+
+Sam wipes his tears. He smiles. He says, "Thank you, Sara. You are a good twin. I love you too. Can we unpack together?"
+
+Sara nods. She says, "Yes, let's unpack together. And then we can explore our new house. Maybe we will find something fun."
+
+Mom smiles. She says, "That's a great idea. I'm proud of you, Sara and Sam. You are brave and kind. You will be happy here."
+
+Sara and Sam hug Mom. They hug each other. They unpack their boxes. They find their toys and clothes. They make their beds. They decorate their rooms. They are happy. They are twins.
+Lily and Ben went to the park with Mom. They saw a pond with many ducks. Lily and Ben liked the ducks. They wanted to feed them bread.
+
+"Can we feed the ducks, Mom?" Lily asked.
+
+"Sure, but be careful. Don't go too close to the water," Mom said. She gave them some bread to break into pieces.
+
+Lily and Ben threw the bread to the ducks. The ducks came closer and quacked. They ate the bread with their beaks. One duck was bigger and stronger than the others. He pushed the other ducks away and took more bread.
+
+"Look at that duck, Ben. He is very strong. He wants all the bread," Lily said.
+
+"I don't like that duck. He is not nice. He should share with the other ducks," Ben said.
+
+Lily and Ben decided to examine the strong duck. They looked at his feathers, his eyes, his feet, and his wings. They saw that he had a red band around his neck.
+
+"Maybe he is a special duck. Maybe he has a name. Maybe that is why he is strong," Lily said.
+
+"Maybe he is a boss duck. Maybe he tells the other ducks what to do. Maybe that is why he is not nice," Ben said.
+
+Mom came over and saw the red band. She read the words on it.
+
+"This duck is part of a research project. He has a tracker on his neck. The scientists want to know where he goes and what he does," Mom said.
+
+"Wow, he is a smart duck. He knows things. He has a job," Lily said.
+
+"But he is still not nice. He should be kind to the other ducks. He should make friends," Ben said.
+
+Mom nodded. She said, "You are right, Ben. Being strong and smart is good, but being kind and friendly is better. Maybe we can teach him that. Maybe we can give him a name. What do you think?"
+
+Lily and Ben thought for a moment. Then they said together, "How about Max?"
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play in the park. They have a red ball. They take turns to throw and catch the ball.
+
+One day, a big dog comes to the park. The dog sees the red ball. He wants to play too. He runs fast to the ball and grabs it with his teeth. He runs away with the ball.
+
+Anna and Ben are sad. They want their ball back. They run after the dog. They shout, "Hey, dog, give us our ball!"
+
+The dog does not listen. He thinks the ball is his. He runs to the other side of the park. He sees a pond. He jumps into the pond with the ball.
+
+Anna and Ben hear a splash. They see the dog in the water. They see their ball floating on the water. They run to the pond. They see a stick. They pick up the stick. They throw the stick into the water.
+
+The dog sees the stick. He likes sticks too. He lets go of the ball. He swims to the stick. He grabs the stick with his teeth. He swims back to the shore.
+
+Anna and Ben see their ball. They are happy. They reach for the ball. They say, "Thank you, dog, for giving us our ball!"
+
+The dog wags his tail. He likes Anna and Ben. He likes to play with them. He drops the stick. He barks, "Woof, woof, let's play again!"
+Sara loves to feed the ducks at the pond. She always brings some bread and corn to share with them. She is very enthusiastic and happy when she sees the ducks come to her.
+
+One day, she goes to the pond with her mom and dad. She sees a new duck that is bigger and has a green head. She wants to feed him too, but he is shy and stays away from her.
+
+"Come here, duck," Sara says. "I have some bread for you. It is yummy and soft. Don't be scared of me."
+
+But the duck does not come. He swims to the other side of the pond. Sara feels sad and tries again.
+
+"Please, duck, come here," Sara says. "I want to be your friend. I have some corn for you. It is crunchy and sweet. Don't be shy of me."
+
+But the duck does not come. He hides behind some reeds. Sara feels more sad and gives up.
+
+"Maybe he does not like me," Sara says. "Maybe he does not like bread or corn. Maybe he is not hungry."
+
+Her mom and dad hug her and comfort her.
+
+"It's okay, Sara," her mom says. "Maybe he is just new here and needs some time to get used to you. Maybe he will come to you another day. You are very kind and generous to feed the ducks."
+
+"You are right, mom," Sara says. "I will try again next time. Maybe he will be my friend then."
+
+She smiles and feeds the other ducks. She is still enthusiastic and happy. She has success with them. They eat from her hand and quack at her. She feels proud and loved. She loves to feed the ducks at the pond.
+Sara likes to help her mom in the kitchen. She likes to measure flour and sugar and pour them in a big bowl. She likes to stir and mix and make a yummy cake. Mom says she is a good helper.
+
+One day, mom has a surprise for Sara. She says they are going to make a special cake for dad. She says dad is coming home soon and they want to make him happy. Sara is excited. She loves dad and she loves cake.
+
+Mom takes out a big pan and a ruler. She says they need to measure the pan and the door. Sara is confused. Why do they need the door? Mom smiles and says it is a secret. She shows Sara how to use the ruler and measure the pan. It is 12 inches long and 9 inches wide. Sara repeats the numbers. Mom says good job.
+
+Then mom takes Sara to the door. She says they need to measure the door too. Sara is curious. She holds one end of the ruler and mom holds the other. They measure the door. It is 36 inches wide and 80 inches tall. Sara says the numbers. Mom says very good.
+
+Mom says they have all the measurements they need. She says they can go back to the kitchen and finish the cake. Sara follows mom. She wonders what the door has to do with the cake. She hopes it will be a perfect cake for dad. She can't wait to see his face when he comes home.
+Lily and Ben were having lunch with Mom. They had soup and bread and cheese. Lily liked soup, but Ben did not. He wanted to eat cheese with his fork.
+
+"Ben, use your spoon for soup, please," Mom said. "Fork is for cheese or salad or cake."
+
+"But I don't like soup, Mom," Ben said. "It is too hot and wet. Cheese is cold and dry and yummy."
+
+Mom smiled and said, "You can have cheese after you finish your soup, Ben. Soup is good for you. It makes you strong and healthy."
+
+Lily finished her soup and asked for more bread. She saw a pretty flower on the table. It was red and yellow and smelled nice. She wanted to touch it.
+
+"Mom, can I have the flower?" Lily asked. "It is so pretty. I want to put it in my hair."
+
+Mom nodded and said, "Yes, you can have the flower, Lily. But be careful, it has thorns. They can hurt you if you part them too hard."
+
+Lily took the flower and thanked Mom. She parted the petals gently and put the flower behind her ear. She looked at herself in the mirror and smiled. She felt like a princess.
+
+Ben saw Lily and said, "You look silly, Lily. Flowers are not for hair. They are for bees and bugs."
+
+Lily did not mind. She said, "I don't care, Ben. I like flowers. They are pretty and smell nice. You are just jealous because you don't have a flower."
+
+Ben stuck out his tongue and said, "No, I'm not. I have a fork. Forks are better than flowers. They can poke and cut and make noise."
+
+He picked up his fork and started to bang it on the table. Mom frowned and said, "Ben, stop that. You are making a mess and a noise. Forks are not for playing. They are for eating."
+
+Ben stopped and said, "Sorry, Mom. I was just having fun."
+
+Mom sighed and said, "I know, Ben. But you have to be careful with forks. They can hurt you or others if you use them wrong. Why don't you finish your soup and then we can have some cake?"
+
+Ben nodded and said, "Okay, Mom. I like cake. Cake is sweet and soft and yummy."
+
+He used his spoon to eat his soup. He saw a pretty cherry on top of the cake. He wanted to eat it with his fork.
+Lily and Tom were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big mouse. The mouse had a piece of cheese in its mouth.
+
+"Look, a mouse!" Lily said. "It has cheese!"
+
+"Can we have some cheese?" Tom asked. "I am hungry."
+
+They ran after the mouse. The mouse ran away. It went into a hole under a tree.
+
+"Give us some cheese, please!" Lily shouted.
+
+"No, this is my cheese!" the mouse said. "It belongs to me!"
+
+"But we want some cheese too!" Tom said. "It looks lovely!"
+
+The mouse peeked out of the hole. It saw Lily and Tom. They looked sad.
+
+"Maybe I can share some cheese with you," the mouse said. "But only if you are nice to me."
+
+"OK, we will be nice to you," Lily and Tom said.
+
+The mouse came out of the hole. It broke the cheese into three pieces. It gave one piece to Lily and one piece to Tom.
+
+"Thank you, mouse!" Lily and Tom said. "You are very kind!"
+
+They ate the cheese together. It was yummy. They became friends with the mouse. They played in the park until it was time to go home.
+Lily was a big girl who liked to do things by herself. She was independent and did not need help from anyone. She liked to dress herself, brush her teeth, and choose her own toys.
+
+One day, her mom told her they were going to the market to buy some food. Lily wanted to go with her mom and help her pick the best vegetables. She ran to her room and put on her shoes and coat. She did not wait for her mom to tie her laces or zip her coat. She was in a hurry and did not want to waste time.
+
+"Come on, mom, let's go!" she shouted from the door. "I want to see the carrots and the peas and the tomatoes!"
+
+Her mom smiled and followed her. She was proud of her independent daughter, but she also wanted to make sure she was safe and warm. She checked her coat and shoes and fixed them for her.
+
+"Lily, you are very fast and smart, but you also need to be careful and cozy," she said. "Let me help you with these. Then we can go to the market and have fun."
+
+Lily nodded and hugged her mom. She realized that sometimes it was good to have help from someone who loved her. She thanked her mom and held her hand as they walked to the market. She still wanted to choose the vegetables, but she also wanted to listen to her mom's advice. She was independent, but she was also happy.
+Ben and Lily were playing in the park with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and run after it. Sometimes they would see other kids and play with them too.
+
+One day, they saw a big dog in the park. It was gray and had long fur. It looked angry and hungry. It saw Ben and Lily and their ball and started to run towards them. Ben and Lily were scared and ran away. They dropped their ball and the dog chased it.
+
+"Help, help!" Ben and Lily shouted. "The dog wants our ball!"
+
+A man heard them and came to see what was wrong. He was the owner of the dog. He was careless and did not put a leash on his dog. He called the dog and tried to catch it. But the dog did not listen. It bit the ball and made a loud noise.
+
+"Bad dog, bad dog!" the man said. "I'm sorry, kids. He likes to play with balls, but he does not know how to share."
+
+Ben and Lily were still scared. They trembled and hid behind a tree. They did not want to play with the dog or the man. They wanted their ball back.
+
+"Can we have our ball, please?" Lily asked in a small voice.
+
+The man looked at the ball. It was broken and had holes. He felt sorry for Ben and Lily. He gave them the ball and some money.
+
+"Here, take this. I'm sorry for my dog. He is not mean, just playful. But he needs to learn some manners. You can buy a new ball with this money."
+
+Ben and Lily took the ball and the money. They said thank you and ran away. They did not want to stay in the park anymore. They wanted to go home and be safe. They learned to be careful of big dogs and careless men.
+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big wheel. The wheel is red and shiny. It has many seats. Lily and Tom want to ride the wheel.
+
+They run to the wheel. They see a man. The man is the wheel keeper. He says, "Hello, children. Do you want to ride the wheel?"
+
+Lily and Tom nod. They are happy. The wheel keeper says, "OK, but you have to follow the rules. The rules are: stay in your seat, buckle your belt, and do not scream. Can you do that?"
+
+Lily and Tom say, "Yes, we can do that. We are good children." The wheel keeper smiles. He gives them tickets. He helps them get on the wheel. He buckles their belts. He says, "Have fun!"
+
+The wheel starts to move. It goes up and down. Lily and Tom observe the park. They see the trees, the flowers, the birds, and the people. They see the sun, the clouds, and the sky. They feel the wind, the warmth, and the joy. They are amazed. They do not scream. They say, "Wow!" and "Look!" and "How beautiful!"
+
+The wheel stops. The wheel keeper says, "Did you enjoy the ride?" Lily and Tom say, "Yes, we did. Thank you, wheel keeper. You are very kind." The wheel keeper says, "You are welcome, children. You are very good. You followed the rules. You observed the park. You appreciated the beauty. You are smart and polite. I am proud of you."
+
+Lily and Tom hug the wheel keeper. They say, "Goodbye, wheel keeper. We will come back soon." The wheel keeper says, "Goodbye, Lily and Tom. I will be happy to see you again."
+
+Lily and Tom run to their parents. They tell them about the wheel. They say, "We rode the wheel. It was fun. We saw many things. We learned many things. We were good. The wheel keeper was nice. We love the wheel."
+
+Their parents hug them. They say, "We are glad you had fun. We are proud of you. You are good children. You observe, you learn, you appreciate. You are smart and polite. We love you."

+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play with toys. One day, they see a big red car in the park. It is very fast and shiny. Lily and Tom want the car.
+
+They run to the car and look at it. It has four wheels, two doors and a horn. Lily and Tom think it is the best toy ever. They want to take it home.
+
+But the car is not a toy. It is a real car. It belongs to a man. The man is in the shop. He does not see Lily and Tom. Lily and Tom do not know that the car is real. They do not know that taking it is wrong. They do not know that taking it is stealing.
+
+Lily and Tom get in the car. They find the keys. They turn them. The car makes a loud noise. Lily and Tom are scared. But they are also happy. They think they can drive the car.
+
+They push the pedals. The car moves. It goes very fast. Lily and Tom laugh. They think they are having fun. They do not see the people. They do not see the signs. They do not see the danger.
+
+The man comes out of the shop. He sees his car. He sees Lily and Tom. He is angry. He is sad. He runs after them. He shouts. He wants his car back. He knows that his car is very valuable. He knows that Lily and Tom are stealing it. He knows that they are in trouble. He knows that he has to stop them. He knows that he has to help them.
+Mia was a shy girl who liked to play with her dolls and her books. She did not like to talk to new people or go to new places. She liked to stay in her room with her toys and her cat, Luna.
+
+One day, her mom said they had to go to the store to buy some food. Mia did not want to go, but her mom said she had to. She put on her coat and her hat and followed her mom to the car. She held her mom's hand as they walked to the store.
+
+In the store, there were many people and many things. Mia saw some fruits, some flowers, some toys, and some books. She wanted to look at the books, but her mom said they had to hurry. She pulled Mia along the aisles, putting things in the cart.
+
+Suddenly, Mia heard a loud sneeze behind her. She turned around and saw a big man with a red nose and a beard. He was holding a key in his hand. He smiled at Mia and said, "Hello, little girl. I'm sorry, I have a cold. Do you like my key? It's for my truck. It's very big and shiny."
+
+Mia felt scared and shy. She did not like the big man or his key or his truck. She hid behind her mom and did not say anything. She wished she was back in her room with her dolls and her books and her cat, Luna.
+
+Her mom saw that Mia was scared and shy. She said, "It's okay, Mia. The man is just being friendly. He won't hurt you. He's just sneezing because he's sick. You don't have to talk to him if you don't want to. Come on, let's go pay for our things and go home."
+
+Mia nodded and held her mom's hand tighter. She was glad that her mom was there to protect her. She hoped that the big man would get better soon and stop sneezing. She also hoped that she would not have to go to the store again for a long time. She just wanted to go home and play with her dolls and her books and her cat, Luna.
+Lily was a creative girl who liked to make things with her toys. She had a big box of blocks, a soft teddy bear, and a shiny red car. She also had a little brother, Max, who was sick and had to stay in bed. He had a fever and a cough, and Mommy gave him a pill every day to make him feel better.
+
+One day, Lily wanted to cheer up Max and make him smile. She thought of a fun idea. She took her blocks and built a tall tower in the living room. Then she put her teddy bear on top of the tower and tied a string around its waist. She took the other end of the string and tied it to her red car. She said to Max, "Look, I made a surprise for you. Do you want to see it?"
+
+Max nodded and smiled a little. He was curious about what Lily had made. Lily said, "OK, watch this." She pushed her red car across the floor, and the string pulled the teddy bear down from the tower. The teddy bear flew through the air and landed on Max's bed. Max laughed and hugged the teddy bear. He said, "Thank you, Lily. You are so creative. You made me happy."
+
+Lily smiled and said, "You're welcome, Max. I love you. I hope you get well soon." She gave him a kiss on the cheek and said, "I have one more surprise for you. Do you want to see it?"
+
+Max nodded and said, "Yes, please." Lily said, "OK, close your eyes and open your mouth." Max did as he was told, and Lily put something in his mouth. He felt a bitter taste and made a face. He said, "Yuck, what is that?" Lily said, "It's your pill. I sent it to you with the teddy bear. Mommy said you have to take it every day to get better."

+Max spit out the pill and said, "No, no, no. I don't like the pill. It's yucky. I don't want it." Lily said, "But you have to take it, Max. It's good for you. It will make your fever and cough go away. Please, Max, take the pill." Max shook his head and said, "No, no, no. I don't want the pill. I want the teddy bear."
+
+Lily sighed and said, "OK, OK. I'll make a deal with you. If you take the pill, I'll let you keep the teddy bear. And I'll make you another surprise tomorrow. How about that?" Max thought for a moment and said, "OK, OK. I'll take the pill. But only if you give me the teddy bear. And the surprise." Lily said, "Deal. Here, take the pill. And here's the teddy bear. And I'll think of a new surprise for you tomorrow. I promise." Max took the pill and swallowed it. He said, "Thank you, Lily. You are the best sister ever. I love you." Lily said, "I love you too, Max. Now, let's cuddle with the teddy bear and take a nap. Maybe you'll feel better when you wake up." They hugged each other and the teddy bear and fell asleep. Mommy came in and saw them. She smiled and said, "What a creative and sweet girl you are, Lily. And what a brave and good boy you are, Max. I'm so proud of you both." She kissed them and covered them with a blanket. She said, "Sweet dreams, my darlings." And she left them to sleep.
+Lily and Ben were twins who lived on a big ranch with many animals. They liked to play outside and see the cows, horses, and chickens. One day, they saw a new animal on the ranch. It was a big, green lizard with sharp teeth and a long tail. Lily and Ben wanted to pet it, but their mom said no.
+
+"That is a crocodile, and it is very dangerous. It can bite you and hurt you. You must stay away from it," mom said.
+
+But Lily and Ben did not listen. They waited until mom was busy and sneaked out of the house. They ran to the pond where the crocodile was sunning itself. They thought it was sleeping and they could touch it.
+
+"Look, it is so green and shiny. I want to feel its skin," Lily said.
+
+"Me too. Let's go closer," Ben said.
+
+They tiptoed to the edge of the pond and reached out their hands. But the crocodile was not sleeping. It opened its eyes and saw the twins. It snapped its jaws and lunged at them. Lily and Ben were so scared that they could not move. They froze in fear.
+
+The crocodile grabbed Lily by her arm and dragged her into the water. Ben screamed and tried to help her, but it was too late. The crocodile disappeared under the water with Lily. Ben ran back to the house and told mom what happened. Mom was very sad and angry. She called the police and the animal control. They came and caught the crocodile and took it away. But they could not find Lily. She was gone forever. Ben cried and wished he had listened to mom. He missed his sister very much.
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with their bikes in the park. One day, they see a big hill. Ben wants to go down the hill very fast. He thinks it is fun. Lily is scared. She thinks it is dangerous.
+
+"Come on, Lily, let's go down the hill!" Ben says. "It will be like flying!"
+
+"No, Ben, I don't want to go. It is too high and too steep. We might fall and hurt ourselves." Lily says.
+
+"Don't be a baby, Lily. You are brave. You can do it. Just listen to me. Hold on to your bike and don't look down. You will be fine." Ben says.
+
+He gets on his bike and pedals hard. He goes down the hill with a lot of speed. He feels the wind in his hair and the sun on his face. He laughs and shouts. He reaches the bottom and turns around. He looks for Lily.
+
+Lily is still at the top of the hill. She watches Ben go down. She feels a little bit curious and a little bit jealous. She wants to try it too. But she is still scared. She thinks about what Ben said. She wants to be brave. She wants to listen to him. She gets on her bike and pedals slowly. She goes down the hill with a little speed. She feels the breeze in her hair and the sun on her face. She smiles and whispers. She reaches the bottom and joins Ben.
+
+"Wow, Lily, you did it! You are brave! How did you feel?" Ben asks.
+
+"It was scary, but it was also fun. I felt like flying. Thank you for helping me, Ben. You are a good brother." Lily says.
+
+They hug each other and laugh. They are happy. They go back to the top of the hill and do it again. And again. And again. They have a lot of fun. They are brave. They listen to each other. They are twins.
+Sara did not like night. Night was dark and scary. She wanted to see the sun and the sky and the birds. But every day, night came and took them away. Sara frown when night came.
+
+One night, Sara had a bad dream. She dream of a big monster that chase her and roar. She wake up and cry. She call for Mom and Dad. But they did not hear her. They were in their room, far away. Sara feel alone and afraid.
+
+Then, Sara hear a soft sound. It was her teddy bear. He was on her bed, next to her. He say, "Don't cry, Sara. I am here. I will protect you from the monster. You are not alone. I am your friend."

+Sam and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a race to see who is faster. Sam runs very fast, but Ben runs faster. Ben wins the race.
+
+"Ha ha, I win!" Ben says. "You are slow, Sam!"
+
+Sam feels sad. He does not like to lose. He wants to win the race. He thinks of a plan.
+
+"Let's race again," Sam says. "But this time, we race to the pond."
+
+Ben agrees. He thinks he can win again. He does not know Sam's plan.
+
+They start to run to the pond. Sam runs behind Ben. When they are near the pond, Sam pushes Ben. Ben falls into the pond. The pond is deep and cold. Ben cannot swim. He is scared.
+
+"Help me, Sam!" Ben cries. "I cannot breathe!"
+
+Sam does not help Ben. He is angry and mean. He wants Ben to lose. He does not care if Ben is hurt. He watches Ben sink into the pond.
+
+Ben tries to resist the water. He tries to kick and splash. He tries to call for help. But no one hears him. No one sees him. He runs out of air. He stops moving. He dies.
+
+Sam wins the race. But he loses a friend. He is alone and sad. He is sorry for what he did. But it is too late. He cannot bring Ben back. He cannot say sorry. He cannot be friends again. He cries and cries. He wishes he was nice. He wishes he did not push Ben. He wishes he did not race to the pond.
+One day, Lily and Ben were playing in the bathroom. They liked to make bubbles with the soap and water. They also liked to pretend they were on the phone with the soap bottle.
+
+"Hello, this is Lily. Who is this?" Lily said, holding the soap bottle to her ear.
+
+"It's me, Ben. I need your help. There is a big spider in my room. Can you come and get it?" Ben said, holding another soap bottle to his ear.
+
+Lily laughed. She knew Ben was scared of spiders. She also knew there was no spider in his room. He was just being silly.
+
+"Ben, you are silly. There is no spider in your room. You are just trying to trick me. I'm not going to fall for it." Lily said, shaking her head.
+
+"Please, Lily, I'm not lying. There is a huge spider on my bed. It has eight legs and big eyes and hairy fangs. It's going to bite me. Please, please, please, come and help me." Ben said, making his voice sound scared.
+
+Lily rolled her eyes. She knew Ben was making up the spider. He was just trying to make her go to his room. She was not going to answer him anymore.
+
+"Sorry, Ben, I can't hear you. There is too much noise. Bye-bye." Lily said, and hung up the soap bottle.
+
+She went back to making bubbles with the soap and water. She was having fun.
+
+Ben was not happy. He wanted Lily to come to his room. He wanted to play with her. He was not really scared of spiders. He was just being silly.
+
+He put down the soap bottle and thought of another way to get Lily's attention. He had an idea.
+
+He took the soap bottle and squeezed it hard. The soap squirted out and made a big mess. He smiled.
+
+He ran to the bathroom and knocked on the door.
+
+"Lily, Lily, come and see. I made a big surprise for you. You will love it." Ben said, sounding excited.
+
+Lily heard Ben's voice. She wondered what he had done. She was curious.
+
+She opened the door and saw Ben standing there with a big grin. He pointed to the soap mess.
+
+"Look, Lily, I made a soap painting for you. Do you like it?" Ben said, hoping Lily would be happy.
+
+Lily looked at the soap painting. It was on the wall, on the floor, on the bed, on the dresser, on the lamp, on the books, on the toys, on everything.
+
+Lily was not happy. She was angry.
+
+"Ben, you are silly. You made a big mess. You wasted the soap. You ruined everything. Mom and Dad will be mad. I'm not going to play with you. Go away." Lily said, and slammed the door.
+
+Ben was sad. He did not mean to make Lily angry. He just wanted to make her smile. He was just being silly.
+
+He looked at the soap painting. He did not like it anymore. He wished he could clean it up.
+
+He wished he could say sorry to Lily.
+
+He wished he could play with her again.
+Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play on the farm. The farm has many animals. Tom and Sue like to feed the animals.
+
+One day, Tom and Sue see a big red barn. They want to see what is inside. They open the door and go in. They see a lot of hay and tools. They also see a big cake on a table. The cake smells good. It has white cream and red berries on top.
+
+"Wow, look at that cake!" Tom says. "It must be for the farmer's birthday."
+
+"Let's have a bite," Sue says. "He won't notice."
+
+Tom feels guilty. He knows it is wrong to take the cake. But he is hungry and curious. He nods and follows Sue to the table.
+
+They each take a fork and cut a piece of cake. They put it in their mouths. It is sweet and soft. They smile and eat more.
+
+Suddenly, they hear a loud voice. "Hey, what are you doing here?" It is the farmer. He looks angry. He sees the cake with holes in it.
+
+Tom and Sue drop their forks. They are scared. They run to the door. But the door is locked. The farmer has the key.
+
+"Please, don't be mad," Tom says. "We are sorry. We just wanted to try the cake."
+
+The farmer shakes his head. He is not happy. He says, "You should not have come in here. This is my private barn. And you should not have eaten my cake. This is my special cake. My wife made it for me. She is very sick. She wanted to make me happy. But now you have ruined it."
+
+Tom and Sue feel very guilty. They did not know the farmer's wife was sick. They did not know the cake was special. They wish they had not eaten the cake.
+
+They say, "We are very sorry. We did not know. Can we do something to make it up to you?"
+
+The farmer thinks for a moment. He sees their sad faces. He feels a little sorry for them. He says, "Well, maybe you can. You can help me with the chores. You can feed the animals, clean the barn, and water the plants. And you can offer to make a new cake for me and my wife. Do you think you can do that?"
+
+Tom and Sue nod. They are glad the farmer is not too angry. They are willing to work hard and make a new cake. They hope the farmer and his wife will forgive them. They hope they will still be friends. They learn a lesson. They will never take something that is not theirs again.
+Lily liked to skip. She skipped in the park, she skipped in the school, she skipped in the house. She skipped with her friends, she skipped with her dog, she skipped with her mom. Skipping made her happy.
+
+One day, Lily saw a new object in the store. It was a rope with two handles. She asked her mom what it was. Her mom said it was a jump rope. She said you could skip with it, but faster and more fun. Lily wanted to try it.
+
+Her mom looked at the price. It was very cheap. She said they could buy it. Lily was very happy. She thanked her mom and took the jump rope. She ran outside and tried to skip with it. She swung the rope over her head and jumped over it. She did it again and again. She laughed and smiled.
+
+She skipped with her new object until it was dark. She skipped with her friends, she skipped with her dog, she skipped with her mom. She skipped faster and more fun. She loved her new object. She loved to skip.
+Sara loves to play with her pink ball. She likes to throw it high in the air and catch it. She likes to roll it on the grass and kick it. She likes to bounce it on the pitch and make it go fast.
+
+But one day, her ball got a hole. She did not see the sharp rock on the pitch. When she bounced her ball, it hit the rock and made a hiss. The air came out of the ball and it went flat. Sara was very sad. She did not want to lose her pink ball.
+
+She ran to her dad and showed him her ball. She asked him to repair it. Her dad looked at the hole and shook his head. He said it was too big to repair. He said he was sorry, but she needed a new ball. Sara cried. She did not want a new ball. She wanted her pink ball.
+
+Her dad hugged her and said he had an idea. He took her to the garage and gave her some paint. He said she could paint anything she wanted on a new ball. He said it would be her special ball. Sara thought for a moment. She decided to paint a pink heart on the new ball. She said it would remind her of her old ball and her dad.
+
+She painted the heart carefully and waited for it to dry. Then she thanked her dad and ran to the pitch. She bounced her new ball and smiled. It was not the same as her pink ball, but it was still fun. She threw it high in the air and caught it. She rolled it on the grass and kicked it. She bounced it on the pitch and made it go fast. She was happy again.
+Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play together. Sometimes they pretend to have jobs like mom and dad. Sara likes to be a doctor. Ben likes to be a firefighter.
+
+One day, they find a big cardboard box in the garage. They decide to make it into a fire truck. They cut out windows and doors. They paint it red and yellow. They stick on sirens and lights. They are very proud of their fire truck.
+
+"Wow, Ben, you did a good job!" Sara says. She admires the fire truck. "Can I ride with you?"
+
+"Sure, Sara, you can be my helper!" Ben says. He lets Sara sit in the front seat. He puts on a helmet and a coat. He grabs a hose. "Let's go save some people!"
+
+They drive around the yard, making noises and spraying water. They have a lot of fun. They pretend to put out fires and rescue cats and dogs. They are very brave and strong.
+
+But after a while, they start to feel sleepy. They yawn and rub their eyes. They park the fire truck under a tree. They cuddle up inside the box. They fall asleep.
+
+Mom and dad come home from work. They see the fire truck in the yard. They smile and shake their heads. They walk over to the box. They peek inside. They see Sara and Ben sleeping. They look so cute and peaceful.
+
+"Aw, look at them," mom says. She admires the twins. "They must have had a busy day."
+
+"They sure did," dad says. He admires the fire truck. "They did a great job."
+
+They kiss the twins on the forehead. They cover them with a blanket. They leave them to dream. They are very proud of their children.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and hide. They saw a big shed with a door. They wanted to see what was inside.
+
+They opened the door and went in. It was dark and dusty. They saw many things: a bike, a rake, a box, a hat. They heard a noise. It was a growl. They were scared.
+
+They turned around and saw a bear. It was big and brown and angry. It wanted to eat them. They ran to the door. But the door was locked. They could not get out. They cried for help.
+
+Mom and Dad heard them. They came to the shed. They saw the lock. They had a key. They opened the door. They saw the bear. They were shocked.
+
+They grabbed Lily and Ben and ran away. They called the police. The police came and took the bear away. It was a terrible bear. It had escaped from the zoo.

+Ben and Mia liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big red vehicle. It had four wheels, a horn, and a door that opened and closed. They pretended it was a fire truck, a bus, or a car.
+
+One day, they wanted to go to the park with their vehicle. They asked their mom if they could go. Their mom said yes, but they had to provide something first. She said they had to clean their room, because it was very messy. Ben and Mia did not like to clean. They thought it was boring and hard. They wanted to be lazy and play.
+
+They tried to trick their mom. They hid some of their toys under the bed, in the closet, and behind the curtains. They said they were done. Their mom came to check. She saw the toys peeking out. She was not happy. She said they had to do it again, and do it right. She said they could not go to the park until they did.
+
+Ben and Mia felt sorry. They knew they had been naughty. They decided to do what their mom said. They took out all the toys and put them in their boxes. They made their bed, and folded their clothes. They dusted and swept. They worked hard and fast. They wanted to go to the park.
+
+Their mom came to check again. She saw their room was clean and tidy. She was proud of them. She said they had done a good job. She said they could go to the park with their vehicle.

+Tim and Sue were friends who liked to play outside. One day, they found a big pile of pebbles near the road. They thought they could make something with them.
+
+"Look, I can print my name with these pebbles!" Tim said. He took some pebbles and put them on the ground to spell T-I-M.
+
+"That's cool!" Sue said. "Can I try too?" She took some pebbles and put them on the ground to spell S-U-E.
+
+They were happy with their pebble names. They wanted to show them to their mom and dad.
+
+But then, a big truck came by. It was very loud and fast. It drove over the pebbles and crushed them. Tim and Sue's names were gone.
+
+Tim and Sue were sad and angry. They cried and shouted at the truck.
+
+"Why did you do that?" Tim yelled. "You ruined our names!"
+
+The truck driver did not hear them. He did not see the pebbles. He did not know they were there.
+
+Tim and Sue felt like giving up. They did not want to play anymore.
+
+But then, they saw a man walking by. He was carrying a big bag. He saw Tim and Sue crying and stopped.
+
+"What's wrong, kids?" he asked.
+
+"A truck smashed our pebble names!" Sue said. "We worked hard to make them!"
+
+The man was thoughtful. He felt sorry for Tim and Sue. He opened his bag and took out some paper and crayons.
+
+"Here, you can use these to print your names again," he said. "And you can take them home and keep them. No one can smash them."
+
+Tim and Sue smiled. They thanked the man and took the paper and crayons. They printed their names again, in different colors. They were happy with their new names.
+
+They learned that sometimes things can go wrong, but they can always try again. They also learned that there are kind people who can help them. They decided to be kind to others too. They gave the man a hug and a pebble as a gift. The man smiled and thanked them. He said they were very thoughtful. They all felt good.
+Lily and Ben were playing with a ball in the park. They liked to pass the ball to each other and catch it. Sometimes they missed and the ball rolled away.
+
+One day, the ball rolled too far and went into the pond. Lily and Ben ran after it, but they stopped when they saw an alligator in the water. The alligator had the ball in its mouth and looked at them with big eyes.
+
+Lily and Ben were scared. They wanted their ball back, but they did not want to go near the alligator. They did not know what to do.
+
+Then they heard a voice. It was the zookeeper, who was walking by the pond. He saw the alligator and the children and smiled.
+
+"Don't worry, kids. That's Al, the gentle alligator. He lives in the zoo, but sometimes he likes to visit the pond. He won't hurt you. He just likes to play with balls."
+
+The zookeeper walked to the edge of the pond and called Al. The alligator swam to him and opened his mouth. The zookeeper took the ball and gave it to Lily and Ben.
+
+"Here you go, kids. Your ball is safe. Al is sorry for taking it. He just wanted to have some fun. Do you want to say hello to him?"
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They were curious about Al. They walked closer to the pond and saw that Al was not scary. He was big and green, but he had a friendly smile. He wagged his tail and made a soft sound.
+
+Lily and Ben smiled too. They said hello to Al and thanked him for the ball. They asked the zookeeper if they could play with Al again.
+
+The zookeeper said yes, but only with his permission and supervision. He said Al was gentle, but he was still a wild animal and needed to be respected.
+
+Lily and Ben agreed. They were happy to make a new friend. They passed the ball to each other and to Al, who caught it with his mouth and tossed it back. They had a lot of fun in the park.
+Tom likes to help his mum with the bin. Every week, he and his mum remove the bag from the bin and take it outside. Tom likes to hold the bag and feel how light or heavy it is. Sometimes the bag is very light and easy to carry. Sometimes the bag is very heavy and hard to carry.
+
+One day, Tom and his mum remove the bag from the bin and it is very light. Tom thinks it is empty. He says, "Mum, this bag is light. There is nothing in it." Mum says, "No, Tom, there is something in it. It is a surprise for you." Tom is curious. He wants to see the surprise.
+
+They take the bag outside and mum opens it. Inside the bag, there is a big balloon. It is red and shiny. Tom loves balloons. He is very happy. He says, "Wow, mum, thank you. This is a great surprise. Can I play with it?" Mum says, "Yes, Tom, you can play with it. But be careful. Don't let it fly away." Tom nods. He takes the balloon and runs around the garden. He laughs and smiles. He has a lot of fun with his surprise.
+Lily and Ben were playing with their toy cars on the floor. They liked to make them go fast and make loud noises. Lily had a red car and Ben had a blue car.
+
+"Look, my car can reverse!" Lily said, making her car go backwards. "Beep beep!"
+
+"That's cool!" Ben said. "Can you do this?" He made his car jump over a thick book. "Vroom!"
+
+Lily tried to do the same, but her car got stuck on the book. She pulled and pulled, but it did not move.
+
+"Help me, Ben!" Lily cried. "My car is stuck!"
+
+Ben came over and helped Lily. He pushed the book and the car fell off.
+
+"Thank you, Ben!" Lily said. "You are a good friend."
+
+"You're welcome, Lily!" Ben said. "Do you want an orange? I have one in my backpack."
+
+"Yes, please!" Lily said. "I like oranges. They are sweet and juicy."
+
+Ben opened his backpack and took out an orange. He peeled it and gave half to Lily. They ate the orange and smiled.
+
+The end.
+Anna and Ben were friends who liked to play together. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big box of blocks. They could pick different blocks and build houses, towers, bridges and anything they wanted.
+
+One day, they decided to make a big castle with all the blocks. They worked hard and had fun, until they ran out of blocks. There was only one block left, and it was red. Anna and Ben both wanted the red block, because it was their favorite color.
+
+"I saw it first!" Anna said. "It's mine!"
+
+"No, it's mine!" Ben said. "I need it for my tower!"
+
+They both reached for the block, but they pulled too hard and it broke in half. Anna and Ben were very sad and angry. They threw the broken pieces on the floor and started to cry.
+
+They were so troubled that they did not hear their mom come in. She saw the mess and the tears and asked them what happened. They told her about the red block and how they both wanted it.
+
+Mom hugged them and said, "I'm sorry, my loves. I know you both like the red block, but you can't have everything you want. Sometimes you have to share and take turns. And sometimes things break, and that's okay. You can still play with the other blocks, or we can find something else to play with. But the most important thing is to be kind and gentle with each other, because you are friends."
+
+Anna and Ben looked at each other and felt sorry. They said sorry to each other and hugged. They picked up the broken pieces and put them in the trash.

+
+A lady sees them and comes to help. She is kind and gentle. She takes the toys and puts them back in the box. She talks to Tom and Lily.
+
+"Why are you slapping each other?" she asks.
+
+"Because he/she wants my toy!" they say.
+

+
+"Can we go up the ladder?" Tim asks Mia.
+
+"I don't know. It looks high and scary," Mia says.
+
+"Come on, it will be fun. Maybe we can find something cool on the roof," Tim says.
+
+He grabs the ladder and starts to climb. Mia follows him, but she is nervous. She holds on tight to the ladder.

+She holds the ladder and tells them to climb down slowly. Tim and Mia are sorry and scared. They climb down the ladder and hug their mom.
+
+"Mom, we are sorry. We wanted to see what was on the roof. We found a cool ball, but the ladder shook and we got scared," Tim says.
+
+"Mom, we are sorry. We won't climb the ladder again. It was high and scary," Mia says.
+
+Mom is glad they are safe, but she is also mad. She takes the ball and the ladder and puts them away.
+
+"You two are in big trouble. You could have fallen and hurt yourself. The ladder is not a toy. The roof is not a place to play. You have to listen to me and stay away from the ladder and the roof. Do you understand?" Mom says.
+
+Tim and Mia nod and say yes. They know they did something bad. They say sorry to their mom again and go to their room. They are not allowed to play outside for the rest of the day. They learn their lesson and never climb the ladder again.

+"Anna, I'm scared. Can we go to Mom and Dad?" he asked.
+
+Anna was brave. She did not hate thunder and lightning. She liked to watch them from the window. She thought they were beautiful and powerful.
+
+"Tom, don't be scared. Thunder and lightning are not bad. They are just nature's way of making noise and light. They can't hurt us. We are safe in our house." she said.
+
+She took Tom's hand and led him to the window. She showed him the flashes of lightning in the sky. She told him to count the seconds between the lightning and the thunder. She said that the farther they were, the safer they were.
+
+Tom listened to Anna. He counted the seconds with her. He saw the lightning and heard the thunder. He felt less scared. He saw that Anna was right. They were safe in their house.

+He smiled at Anna. He was grateful for his sister. She was kind and smart. She helped him feel better.
+
+"Thank you, Anna. You are the best sister ever. I love you." he said.

+Sara was sick. She had a sore throat and a hot head. Mommy gave her a glass of water and a small white thing. She said it was a pill and it would make Sara feel better.

+One day, he saw a big dog in the street. It was black and furry and had sharp teeth. Tom thought it was a dragon. He ran towards it with his sword and shouted, "I will stop you, dragon! You cannot scare me!"
+
+The dog barked and growled. It did not like Tom's sword. It was not a dragon. It was a friendly dog who wanted to play. But Tom did not know that. He thought it was a fierce enemy.
+
+"Tom, stop!" his mom called from the porch. She saw Tom and the dog. She was worried. She ran to get him. "Tom, that is not a dragon. That is a dog. He is not mean. He is nice. Put down your sword. You might hurt him."
+
+Tom stopped. He looked at his mom. He looked at the dog. He saw that the dog was wagging his tail. He saw that the dog was not angry. He felt silly. He dropped his sword. He said, "Sorry, dog. I thought you were a dragon. Do you want to be my friend?"

+
+One day, mom told Lily that they were going to visit grandma. Grandma was very old and lived in a small house by the lake. Lily liked grandma, because she always gave her hugs and cookies. Mom said they had to bring a present for grandma, because it was her birthday.
+
+Lily wanted to carry the present for grandma, because she wanted to show her how mighty she was. Mom said the present was in a big box with a bow. Lily saw the box on the table and tried to lift it. But it was too heavy for her. She could not move it at all.
+
+"Mom, I can't carry the present. It's too heavy for me," Lily said, feeling sad.
+
+Mom smiled and hugged Lily. "That's okay, sweetie. You don't have to carry the present. You can carry something else for grandma. Something that she will love even more than the present."
+
+"What is it, mom?" Lily asked, curious.

+Mom pointed to Lily's face. "Your smile, Lily. Your smile is the best present for grandma. She loves to see you happy and cheerful. Can you carry your smile for grandma?"

+
+Tom and Lily were sad. They looked out the window and saw the sun shining on the ice. It looked pretty and sparkly. They wanted to touch it and slide on it.
+
+"Let's go outside for a little bit," Tom said to Lily. "Mom won't know. We'll be careful."
+
+Lily was scared. She remembered the last time she fell on the ice. It hurt a lot. She cried and Mom had to put a band-aid on her knee. But Tom was her big brother. He said he would hold her hand and protect her.

+Mom heard the screams. She looked out the window and saw Tom and Lily on the ice. She was angry and worried. She ran outside and helped them. She took them inside and dried them and warmed them. She hugged them and scolded them.
+
+"Why did you go outside?" Mom asked. "I told you it was too icy and cold. You could have been hurt. You could have died."
+
+Tom and Lily were sorry. They said they were sorry. They said they wanted to play. They said they didn't listen.
+
+Mom said she loved them. She said she was glad they were okay. She said they had to learn to obey. She said they had to delay their play until it was safe. She said they had to be careful and smart.
+
+Tom and Lily nodded. They said they understood. They said they loved Mom too. They said they would be good.

+Ben and Mia were friends who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big house with a high fence and a sign that said "Keep Out". Ben was curious and wanted to see what was inside. Mia was scared and said, "No, Ben, we should not go there. The sign says no. Maybe there is a mean dog or a bad man inside."
+
+Ben did not listen to Mia. He said, "I want to go there. Maybe there is something fun or pretty inside. Maybe the people who live there are rich and have toys and candy. Come on, Mia, don't be a baby." He climbed over the fence and ran to the house. Mia followed him, but she was not happy.
+
+When they reached the house, they saw a big window with a curtain. Ben pulled the curtain and looked inside. He saw a lot of shiny things and colorful things. He said, "Wow, look at all this stuff. They are rich, Mia, they are rich. Let's go inside and take some." He tried to open the window, but it was locked. He looked for a rock and smashed the window. He heard a loud noise and a voice that said, "Who is there? Who is breaking my window?"
+
+Ben and Mia were scared. They saw a man coming out of the house. He was big and angry. He had a gun in his hand. He said, "You little thieves, you little rats. How dare you come to my house and break my window? I will teach you a lesson. I will shoot you." He pointed the gun at Ben and Mia.
+
+Ben and Mia screamed and ran away. They tried to climb over the fence, but the man was faster. He shot at them and hit them. Ben and Mia fell to the ground. They were bleeding and hurting. They cried and said, "Help, help, someone help us." But no one heard them. No one came to help them. No one gave them a bandage. They died on the ground. The man did not permit them to live. He did not care. He went back to his house and called the police. He said, "I killed two kids who tried to rob me. Come and take them away." He was rich, but he was not nice. He was not sorry. He was not sad. He was bad. The end.

+
+But Lily did not listen. She was too upset. She turned away and ignored Tim. Tim felt lonely and sad. He packed his game and left.
+
+He learned a lesson that day. He learned that games are not fun if you are harsh to your friend. He learned that being harsh can make you lose your friend. He learned that he should be kind and gentle if he wants to keep his friend. He hoped that Lily would forgive him and play with him again.

+
+"I like red cars. They are pretty and shiny," Tim says. He wants to see the car better.
+
+"Tim, no! Stay here!" Sam's mom says. She sees Tim run to the street. She is scared.
+
+But Tim does not listen. He enters the street. He does not see the light. The light is green for the cars. The cars do not stop. They hit Tim.
+
+"Tim!" Sam cries. He runs to Tim. He sees blood and tears. He is sad and angry.
+
+"Why did you enter the street, Tim? Why did you not listen?" Sam asks. He hugs Tim. He hopes Tim will be okay.
+
+But Tim does not answer. He does not move. He does not breathe. He is gone.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to look for things that were green, like grass, leaves and frogs. They found a big green rock that had strange marks on it.
+
+"What is this?" Lily asked.
+
+"It is an ancient rock," Ben said. "It has numbers on it."
+
+"Numbers? What are numbers?" Lily wondered.
+
+"Numbers are things you use to count. Like one, two, three," Ben explained. He pointed to the marks on the rock. "See? This is one, this is two, this is three."
+
+Lily looked at the marks. She tried to say them. "One, two, three," she repeated.
+

+Ben and Mia were twins who liked to act. They had a big box of costumes and props that they used to pretend to be different people and animals. Sometimes they acted out stories from books or movies, and sometimes they made up their own.
+
+One day, they decided to act like they were rich and famous. They put on fancy clothes and jewelry and sunglasses. They used their mom's perfume and dad's watch as luxury items. They pretended to have a big house and a car and a pool. They talked in funny voices and said things like "darling" and "fabulous".
+
+"Look at us, we are so glamorous and cool!" Ben said to Mia. "We have everything we want and need!"
+
+"Yes, we do!" Mia agreed. "We are the best actors ever! Everyone loves us and wants to be us!"
+
+They were having so much fun that they did not hear their mom calling them for lunch. They did not see their little brother, Sam, who was watching them from the door. Sam was only two years old and he did not understand what they were doing. He thought they were being mean and selfish. He wanted to play with them, but they ignored him. He felt sad and angry.
+
+He decided to teach them a lesson. He sneaked into their room and took their box of costumes and props. He hid them under his bed and locked his door. Then he went to the kitchen and ate his lunch.
+
+When Ben and Mia finally came downstairs, they were hungry and thirsty. They saw their mom and dad eating at the table. They said hello and asked for some food.
+
+"Sorry, kids, there's nothing left for you," their mom said. "We ate it all. You should have come when we called you."
+
+Ben and Mia were shocked and confused. They looked at their plates and saw only crumbs and bones. They felt their stomachs growl and their mouths dry.
+
+"But, mom, we were acting!" Ben said. "We were pretending to be rich and famous!"
+
+"Well, that was a silly game," their dad said. "You should know that acting is not real. You can't live on luxury and fame. You need real things like food and water and love."
+
+Ben and Mia realized their mistake. They felt ashamed and sorry. They wanted to apologize and hug their parents. They wanted to go back to their room and change their clothes and take off their accessories. They wanted to find their box and put everything back.
+
+But they could not. Their room was empty and their box was gone. They looked for Sam and saw him smiling from his room. He had the key in his hand and he waved it at them.
+
+"Ha ha, I have your stuff!" he said. "You can't have it back! You were mean and selfish! You did not play with me! Now you have nothing!"
+
+Ben and Mia felt angry and scared. They tried to open Sam's door, but it was locked. They begged and cried, but he did not listen. They looked at their mom and dad, but they did not help. They said it was their fault and they had to learn their lesson.
+
+Ben and Mia were stuck. They had no food, no water, no love, no fun, no box, no costumes, no props, no luxury, no fame, no acting. They had nothing.
+
+They were not glad. They were very sad.
+Tom and Lily are happy. They are going to the beach with Mom and Dad. They put on sun hats and swim suits. They take a big bag with toys and snacks.
+
+At the beach, Tom and Lily run to the water. They splash and play with the waves. They see fish and shells. They make a big sand castle with a moat and a flag. They dig a hole and bury Dad's feet.
+
+"Look, Mom, we made a castle!" Tom says.
+
+"It's very nice, Tom. You and Lily are good builders," Mom says.
+
+"Can we go on the boat, Mom?" Lily asks.
+
+"Sure, Lily. Let's go on the boat. We can see more of the sea," Mom says.
+
+Tom and Lily run to the boat. They put on life jackets and get on board. Dad starts the engine and steers the boat. They see more fish and birds. They feel the wind and the sun.
+
+"This is fun, Dad!" Tom says.
+
+"I'm glad you like it, Tom. The sea is beautiful, isn't it?" Dad says.
+
+"I love the sea, Dad. And I love the beach. And I love you and Mom and Lily," Tom says.
+
+"I love you too, Tom. And I love Mom and Lily and the sea and the beach," Dad says.
+
+Tom and Lily are happy. They have a wonderful day at the beach.
+Lila liked to play with her zip. It was on her red coat. She could pull it up and down. It made a funny sound. Zip, zip, zip.
+
+One day, she went to the park with her mom. She saw a big slide. She wanted to go on it. She ran to the slide. She forgot her zip.
+
+Her mom called her. "Lila, stop! Your zip is open!" But Lila did not hear her. She was too excited. She climbed the slide. She sat on the top.
+
+She looked down. She saw her mom. She saw her zip. It was hanging from her coat. It was very long. It was very loose. It was very bad.
+
+She tried to grab her zip. But it was too late. Her zip got caught on the slide. It pulled her down. She slid very fast. She screamed. "Help!"
+
+Her mom ran to her. She caught her. She hugged her. She was not hurt. But she was scared. She cried. "Mommy!"
+
+Her mom said. "It's okay, Lila. I'm here. You're safe. But next time, please listen to me. And zip your coat." She kissed her. She smiled.
+
+Lila said. "I'm sorry, Mommy. I love you. And I love my zip. But not on the slide." She laughed. She learned.
+Lily and Ben wanted to fly a kite. They had a big kite with a long tail and many colors. They went to the park with their mom and dad. The park had a lot of grass and a small hill.
+
+"Look, the wind is strong today!" Lily said. "We can make the kite go high in the sky!"
+
+"Yes, let's go to the top of the hill!" Ben said. "We can run and let go of the kite!"
+
+They climbed the hill with their mom and dad. They held the kite and the string. They waited for a big gust of wind.
+
+"Ready, set, go!" Lily shouted. They ran and let go of the kite. The kite flew up and up. It looked like a bird.
+
+"Wow, it's so beautiful!" Ben said. "Can I hold the string, Lily?"
+
+"OK, but be careful!" Lily said. She gave the string to Ben. Ben felt the kite pull and tug. He tried to balance the kite in the air.
+
+But the wind was rough. It made the kite shake and twist. Ben lost his grip on the string. The kite flew away.
+
+"Oh no, our kite!" Lily cried. "We have to get it back!"
+
+They ran after the kite. They saw it land on a big tree. The tree had many branches and leaves.
+
+"Mom, dad, help us!" Lily and Ben said. "Our kite is stuck in the tree!"
+
+Their mom and dad came to the tree. They looked at the kite.
+
+"Don't worry, kids," their dad said. "I can climb the tree and get the kite. You stay here and watch."
+
+Their dad climbed the tree. He was careful not to fall. He reached the kite and untangled it from the branches. He threw it down to the kids.
+
+"Yay, we got our kite!" Lily and Ben said. They caught the kite and hugged it.
+
+"Thank you, dad!" they said.
+
+"You're welcome, kids," their dad said. He climbed down the tree and joined them.
+
+"Let's try to fly the kite again," their mom said. "But this time, hold the string tight and work together."
+
+"OK, mom," Lily and Ben said. They smiled and nodded. They held the kite and the string. They ran and let go of the kite. The kite flew up and up. They balanced the kite in the air. They had fun.
+Lily and Tom were restless. They did not want to nap. They wanted to play. They saw a big box in the corner of the room. They ran to the box and climbed inside.
+
+"What can we do with this box?" Lily asked.
+
+"Let's make a fort!" Tom said. "We can hang a blanket over the top and pretend we are in a cave."
+
+They found a blanket and hung it over the box. They crawled under the blanket and made noises like bears and lions.
+
+"Roar!" Tom said.
+
+"Grrr!" Lily said.
+
+They had fun in their fort. They forgot about napping. They did not hear their mom calling them.
+
+"Lily! Tom! It's time to wake up!" Mom said. "Come out of the box, please."
+
+Lily and Tom peeked out of the blanket. They saw Mom smiling at them.
+
+"Hi, Mom," they said.
+
+"Did you have a good nap?" Mom asked.
+
+"No, we did not nap," Lily said. "We played in the box."
+
+"We made a fort," Tom said.
+
+Mom laughed. "You are very creative," she said. "But now you need to get out of the box and have some snack. You must be hungry."
+
+Lily and Tom nodded. They got out of the box and followed Mom to the kitchen. They were still restless, but they were also happy. They liked their box fort. They decided to play in it again later.
+Tom and Sam were brothers who liked to play with cars and balls. One day, they saw a woman who was carrying a big bag of food. She looked serious and tired. Tom and Sam wanted to help her, but they did not know how.
+
+"Hello, woman," Tom said. "Do you need help with your bag?"
+
+The woman smiled and said, "Thank you, but I can manage. I have to take this food to my children. They are hungry and sick."
+
+Tom and Sam felt sad for the woman and her children. They wanted to do something nice for them.
+
+"Can we give you some of our toys?" Sam asked. "Maybe they will make your children happy."
+
+The woman was touched by the boys' kindness. She said, "That is very sweet of you, but you don't have to. Your toys are yours. You should keep them and enjoy them."
+
+Tom and Sam thought for a moment. Then they had an idea.
+
+"We have an idea," Tom said. "We can support you with our words. We can say nice things to you and your children. Maybe that will make you feel better."
+
+The woman was surprised and happy. She said, "That is a wonderful idea. Words are very powerful. They can make people feel good or bad. You are very smart and kind boys. Thank you for your support."
+
+Tom and Sam smiled and said, "You are welcome. We hope your children get well soon. You are a good woman and a good mother. We are your friends."
+
+The woman hugged the boys and thanked them again. She took her bag and walked away. Tom and Sam waved goodbye and went back to their play. They felt happy and proud. They learned that support can come in different ways, and that words can make a difference.
+Tom and Sam were brothers who liked to eat a lot of cake. Every day, they would ask their mom for more cake and she would give them a small piece. But they were not happy with that. They wanted to eat the whole cake by themselves.
+
+One day, when their mom was out, they saw a big cake on the table. It was for their dad's birthday. They looked at each other and smiled. They decided to add more cake to their plates and eat it all. They did not care that it was their dad's cake. They only cared about their own tummies.
+
+They ate and ate until there was no cake left. They felt very full and sick. They also felt very guilty and scared. They knew their mom and dad would be angry when they came back. They tried to hide the empty plate under the sofa, but it was too big.
+
+Soon, their mom and dad came back. They saw the empty plate and the crumbs on the floor. They also saw Tom and Sam's big waists and sad faces. They knew what had happened. They were very disappointed and upset.
+
+They said to Tom and Sam, "Why did you eat the whole cake? It was for your dad's birthday. You were very greedy and selfish. You did not think about how he would feel. You also did not think about your health. Eating too much cake is bad for you. It can make you sick and fat. You need to eat more healthy food, like fruits and vegetables. They are good for you. They can make you strong and happy."
+
+Tom and Sam felt very sorry. They said, "We are sorry, mom and dad. We were wrong. We will not eat so much cake again. We will eat more healthy food. We will also make a new cake for dad's birthday. We love you and we want you to be happy."
+
+Their mom and dad hugged them and said, "We love you too, Tom and Sam. We forgive you. But you need to learn from your mistake. You need to be more careful and respectful. You need to share and care. You need to think about others, not just yourselves. That is the right thing to do."
+
+Tom and Sam nodded and said, "We understand, mom and dad. We will do better next time. Thank you for teaching us."
+
+The moral of the story is: Don't be greedy and selfish. Think about others and their feelings. Eat healthy and balanced food. Share and care.
+Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play outside. One day, they see a big box in the yard. They want to see what is inside.
+
+They open the box and find many colorful things. There are balls, ribbons, hats, and books. They are happy and start to play with them.
+
+But then, the sky becomes dark. It is night time. Sara and Tom are scared. They cannot see well in the dark.
+
+"Tom, I want to go home," Sara says.
+
+"Me too, Sara. But how can we find the way?" Tom says.
+
+They look around and see a small light. It is a flashlight. They pick it up and turn it on. It shines bright.
+
+"Look, Sara, we have a light. We can use it to see the path," Tom says.
+
+"Yes, Tom, you are smart. Let's go," Sara says.
+
+They hold the flashlight and walk to the house. They are not scared anymore. They are glad they have the light. They say goodbye to each other and go to bed. They dream of the colorful things in the box.
+Lily and Ben liked to play pirates in the park. They had a big cardboard box that they pretended was a ship. They used sticks as swords and hats as helmets. They also had a shield that Lily's dad made for them. It was round and shiny and had a star on it.
+
+One day, they decided to sail to a new island. They pushed their box to the pond and climbed inside. They used a branch as a mast and a towel as a sail. They sang pirate songs and waved to the ducks. They saw a big rock in the water and decided to land there.
+
+"Look, Ben, we found treasure!" Lily said, pointing to a shiny bottle on the rock. She jumped out of the box and ran to get it. Ben followed her, holding the shield.
+
+They opened the bottle and saw a piece of paper inside. It had a picture of a map and a message. It said: "Follow the clues to find the hidden gold. But beware of the dragon!"
+
+"Wow, this is so cool!" Ben said. "Let's go and find the gold!"
+
+"OK, but we have to be careful of the dragon," Lily said. "Maybe he is big and scary and breathes fire."
+
+They looked at the map and saw that they had to go to the big tree, then to the slide, then to the bench. They took the bottle, the shield, and their swords and started to follow the clues.
+
+They had fun running and jumping and solving the puzzles. They found more bottles with more messages. They also saw some attractive flowers and butterflies along the way. They picked some and put them in their hats.
+
+They reached the bench and saw the last bottle. It said: "You are almost there. The gold is under the bench. But watch out for the dragon. He is guarding it. You have to use your shield to protect yourself."
+
+They looked under the bench and saw a small box with a lock. They also saw a toy dragon that was making noises and moving its wings. It was red and green and had shiny eyes.
+
+"Roar! I am the dragon! You cannot have the gold!" the toy dragon said.
+
+Lily and Ben were not afraid. They knew it was just a toy. They laughed and said: "We are the pirates! We can have the gold! We have a shield and swords!"
+
+They used their shield to block the dragon's fire. They used their swords to tickle the dragon's belly. The dragon stopped roaring and started giggling.
+
+"OK, OK, you win! You can have the gold!" the dragon said.
+
+They opened the box and saw some chocolate coins wrapped in gold paper. They were very happy and shared them with the dragon. They also gave him some flowers and butterflies.
+
+They became friends and played together. They sailed back to their ship and had a pirate party. They ate the chocolate and drank some juice. They sang and danced and told stories.
+
+They had a lot of fun and decided to come back to the island another day. They thanked the dragon and said goodbye. They took their shield and their bottle and their hats and went home. They hugged their parents and told them about their adventure. They were very proud and happy. They had a good day.
+Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They had many toys of different shapes, colors and sizes. Lily liked to sort her toys by color. She had a big box for red toys, a small box for blue toys, and a bag for yellow toys. Ben liked to sort his toys by size. He had a rope that he used to measure his toys. He had a pile for big toys, a pile for medium toys, and a pile for small toys.
+
+"Look, Lily, this toy car is bigger than this toy train," Ben said, holding the rope next to them.
+
+"Look, Ben, this toy ball is red and yellow," Lily said, holding the ball in her hand.
+
+They showed each other their toys and talked about how they sorted them. They were having fun and learning new things.
+
+Suddenly, they heard a loud noise from the kitchen. It was their mom, who had dropped a plate on the floor.
+
+"Oh no, I made a mess," their mom said.
+
+Lily and Ben ran to the kitchen to see what happened. They saw the broken plate and the food on the floor.
+
+"Don't worry, mom, we can help you," Lily said.
+
+"Yes, mom, we are intelligent," Ben said.
+
+They grabbed a broom, a dustpan, and a trash can. They worked together to sort the pieces of the plate and the food. They put the plate pieces in the trash can and the food in the dustpan. They swept the floor until it was clean.
+
+"Thank you, Lily and Ben, you are very helpful and intelligent," their mom said, hugging them.
+
+They smiled and hugged their mom back. They were happy and proud. They went back to the living room to play with their toys. They continued to sort them by color and size. They had a lot of fun.
+Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with blocks. They build towers and bridges and houses. They have fun.
+
+One day, Tom has a new block. It is big and red and shiny. Sam likes the new block. He wants to play with it. He asks Tom, "Can I have the new block, please?"
+
+Tom says, "No, this is my block. I got it from my mom. It is mine."
+
+Sam is sad. He says, "But we can share. Sharing is good. We can take turns. Please, Tom, let me have the new block for a little while."
+
+Tom thinks. He likes Sam. He does not want to make him sad. He says, "Okay, Sam, you can have the new block for a little while. But only for an inch of time. Then you have to give it back to me. Do you understand?"
+
+Sam nods. He is happy. He says, "Thank you, Tom. You are a great friend. I understand. I will give it back to you after an inch of time."
+
+Tom and Sam smile. They play with the new block and the other blocks. They build more towers and bridges and houses. They have more fun.
+Tim and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to slide, swing and run. But they also liked to look at the big bikes that some older kids had. The bikes had shiny wheels, loud horns and cool helmets.
+
+One day, a new kid came to the park with a bike. His bike was not shiny, but filthy. It had mud, rust and scratches all over it. His helmet was also filthy. It had a big crack, a missing strap and a sticker that said "Bad Boy".
+
+Tim and Lily stared at the new kid and his bike. They had never seen such a filthy bike and helmet before. They wondered why he did not clean them or get new ones.
+
+"Hey, what are you staring at?" the new kid shouted at them. He did not sound friendly. He sounded angry and mean.
+
+Tim and Lily were scared. They did not want to make the new kid mad. They did not know what to say.
+
+"We...we...we just like your bike and helmet," Tim lied. He hoped the new kid would believe him and leave them alone.
+
+The new kid snorted. He did not believe Tim. He thought Tim and Lily were making fun of him and his bike and helmet.
+
+"You like them? Then you can have them!" he said. He threw his helmet at Tim and his bike at Lily. Then he ran away.
+
+Tim and Lily dodged the helmet and the bike. They fell to the ground. They were not hurt, but they were shocked and confused.
+
+They looked at each other. They did not like the new kid and his bike and helmet. They liked their own toys and clothes better. They decided to ignore the filthy bike and helmet and go back to their fun games.
+Anna was a big girl. She liked to learn new things and play with her friends. She went to a big place called university, where she learned many things. She liked to read books, write stories, and draw pictures.
+
+One day, Anna had to do a big thing. She had to finish her last paper for university. She had to write about what she learned and what she liked. She was nervous. She wanted to do a good job and make her teacher happy. She also wanted to finish on time and go to the park with her friends.
+
+Anna worked hard on her paper. She used her words and her pictures to show what she learned and what she liked. She checked her paper for mistakes and fixed them. She put her paper in a folder and wrote her name on it. She was proud of her paper.
+
+Anna took her paper to her teacher. She gave it to her and said, "I finished my paper, teacher. I hope you like it." The teacher smiled and said, "Thank you, Anna. I'm sure I will like it. You did a great job. You should be proud of yourself. You finished university."
+
+Anna was happy. She finished university. She learned many things and had fun. She hugged her teacher and said, "Thank you, teacher. You helped me a lot. I will miss you." The teacher hugged her back and said, "You're welcome, Anna. I will miss you too. You are a smart and kind girl. I wish you all the best."
+
+Anna left the university and went to the park with her friends. They played and laughed and had a good time. Anna was not nervous anymore. She was excited. She finished university. She was ready for new things.
+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big dog. The dog is brown and has a long tail. The dog looks strong and fast.
+
+"Wow, look at that dog!" Tom says. "He is so big and strong. I want to pet him."
+
+"Be careful, Tom," Mia says. "We don't know the dog. He might be mean or bite."
+
+Tom does not listen to Mia. He runs to the dog and tries to touch him. The dog does not like Tom. He barks and growls. He shows his teeth. Tom is scared. He runs back to Mia.
+
+"Help, Mia, help!" Tom cries. "The dog is angry. He wants to hurt me."
+
+Mia is smart. She knows what to do. She sees a bench near the park. She grabs Tom's hand and pulls him to the bench. They sit on the bench. They are high and safe. The dog cannot reach them.
+
+"Shoo, shoo, go away, dog!" Mia shouts. "You are not nice. You are not our friend."
+
+The dog hears Mia. He stops barking and growling. He looks at Tom and Mia. He sees that they are not afraid. He loses interest. He turns around and walks away.
+
+Tom and Mia sigh. They are relieved. They hug each other.
+
+"Thank you, Mia," Tom says. "You are brave and smart. You saved me from the dog."
+
+"You're welcome, Tom," Mia says. "You are my friend. I care about you. But next time, listen to me. Don't run to strange dogs. They might not be friendly."
+
+Tom nods. He learns his lesson. He says sorry to Mia. They smile and hold hands. They are happy. They enjoy the sight of the park. They see birds and flowers and children. They forget about the dog. They have fun.
+Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play in the snow. They make a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They give him a carrot nose and two rocks for eyes.
+
+"Hello, snowman!" Sara says. "Do you want to play with us?"
+
+The snowman does not say anything. He is cold and still.
+
+Ben has an idea. He runs to his house and gets a match. He comes back and rubs the match on the snowman's hat. The match makes a start. The start is warm and bright.
+
+"Look, Sara!" Ben says. "The snowman has a start on his hat. Maybe he will talk to us now."
+
+Sara and Ben wait for the snowman to talk. But the snowman does not talk. He only melts. The start is too warm for him. The hat and the scarf fall to the ground. The carrot nose and the rocks roll away.
+
+"Oh, no!" Sara says. "We made the snowman go away. We are sorry, snowman."
+
+Sara and Ben are sad. They hug each other and cry. They miss the snowman. They wish they did not rub the match on his hat. They wish they could play with him again.
+Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play together in the park. One day, they saw a big truck with many candies. The truck was very far away, but they could smell the sweet candies.
+
+"Wow, look at all those candies!" Ben said. "I wish we could have some."
+
+"Me too," Lily said. "But the truck is too distant. We can't go there."
+
+They sighed and sat on the grass. They felt sad and hungry.
+
+Then, they saw a man with a basket. He was walking near them. He smiled and said, "Hello, children. Do you want some apples? They are fresh and juicy. And they are good for you."
+
+Lily and Ben looked at the man. They looked at the apples. They looked at the truck.
+
+They thought for a moment. Then, they nodded and said, "Yes, please. Thank you, sir."
+
+The man gave them each an apple. They bit into the apples and felt happy. They thanked the man again and waved goodbye.
+
+They learned that sometimes, the things that are distant are not the best. And sometimes, the things that are near are the ones that make you happy.
+Ben and Lily liked to play with their toy boat in the pond. They pretended to be pirates and sailors, and had many adventures. One day, they found a glove floating in the water. It was big and black, and had four fingers and a thumb.
+
+"Look, a glove!" Ben said. "Maybe it belongs to a giant!"
+
+"Or a monster!" Lily said. "Let's sail to it and see!"
+
+They sailed their boat closer to the glove, and saw that it had a hole in it. They wondered what was inside. They reached out to touch it, but then they heard a loud voice.
+
+"Hey, that's my glove!" the voice said. "Give it back!"
+
+Ben and Lily looked up and saw a man standing on the shore. He was wearing a coat and a hat, and had a fishing rod in his hand. He looked angry and wet.
+
+"Your glove?" Ben asked. "How did it get in the pond?"
+
+"I dropped it when I was fishing," the man said. "You ignorant kids, don't you know how to respect other people's things?"
+
+Ben and Lily felt scared and sorry. They didn't mean to take the man's glove. They just wanted to see what it was.
+
+"We're sorry, mister," Lily said. "We didn't know it was yours. We thought it was a giant's or a monster's."
+
+The man snorted and walked into the water. He grabbed his glove from their boat and put it on his hand. He glared at them and said, "You should learn to mind your own business. Now go away and leave me alone."
+
+He turned around and walked back to the shore. He threw his fishing rod over his shoulder and left.
+
+Ben and Lily felt sad and confused. They didn't understand why the man was so mean to them. They didn't think they did anything wrong. They sailed their boat back to the other side of the pond, and decided to play something else. They hoped they would never see the man or his glove again.
+Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. Lily had a soft bunny with long ears and a fluffy tail. Ben had a truck with big wheels and a loud horn. They were having fun, but they did not share very well.
+
+"Give me the bunny!" Ben said. He wanted to play with the bunny too.
+
+"No, it's mine!" Lily said. She hugged the bunny tight.
+
+Ben was angry. He grabbed the bunny's tail and pulled hard. Lily screamed. The bunny's tail tore off. Lily was very sad. She cried and cried.
+
+"Look what you did!" Lily said. "You are careless and mean! You broke my bunny!"
+
+Ben felt sorry. He did not mean to break the bunny. He just wanted to play.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily," Ben said. "I did not want to hurt the bunny. Can I fix it?"
+
+Lily stopped crying. She looked at the bunny's tail. It was ripped and loose.
+
+"Maybe," Lily said. "But you have to be gentle and careful. The bunny is soft and fragile."
+
+Ben nodded. He took the bunny's tail and the bunny. He found some glue and a bandage. He glued the tail back to the bunny. He wrapped the bandage around the tail. He gave the bunny back to Lily.
+
+"Here you go," Ben said. "I fixed the bunny. I hope it feels better."
+
+Lily smiled. She touched the bunny's tail. It was still fluffy, but a little sticky.
+
+"Thank you, Ben," Lily said. "You are kind and helpful. Do you want to play with the bunny?"
+
+Ben smiled too. He nodded. He liked the bunny.
+
+"Yes, please," Ben said. "But can I also play with the truck?"
+
+Lily nodded. She liked the truck.
+
+"Sure," Lily said. "But we have to share and take turns. And we have to be gentle and careful with our toys."
+
+They agreed. They played with the bunny and the truck. They had fun, and they did not fight. They were good friends.
+Tom likes to polish his red car. He has a cloth and a bottle of shiny stuff. He rubs the cloth on the car and makes it sparkle. He is very proud of his car.
+
+One day, he sees a bug on his car. It is a big bug with six legs and two wings. It is gray and fuzzy. Tom does not like the bug. He thinks it will make his car dirty. He says, "Go away, bug! You are not welcome on my car!"
+
+But the bug does not go away. It crawls on the car and makes a loud buzz. It likes the shiny stuff on the car. It thinks it is sweet and tasty. It says, "Mmm, this is a good car! I want to eat it!"
+
+Tom is angry. He tries to shoo the bug away with his cloth. But the bug is fast and dodges the cloth. It laughs at Tom and says, "Ha ha, you can't catch me! I am the king of the car!"
+
+Tom is sad. He thinks he will never get rid of the bug. He does not know what to do. He wishes he had a friend to help him.
+
+Then he hears a voice. It is his sister, Lily. She is walking by with her doll. She sees Tom and his car and the bug. She says, "Hi, Tom. What are you doing?"
+
+Tom says, "I am trying to polish my car, but there is a mean bug on it. It won't leave me alone. It wants to eat my car!"
+
+Lily says, "Don't worry, Tom. I can help you. I have an idea. Let me borrow your bottle of shiny stuff."
+
+Tom gives her the bottle. Lily opens it and pours some of the shiny stuff on her doll's hair. She makes it wet and sticky. Then she says, "Hey, bug, look at this! I have something better than the car. I have a doll with shiny hair. Don't you want to try it?"
+
+The bug hears Lily and sees the doll. It is curious. It thinks the doll's hair might be sweeter and tastier than the car. It says, "Ooh, what is that? Let me see!"
+
+The bug flies off the car and lands on the doll's hair. It tries to bite it, but it gets stuck. The shiny stuff is too sticky. It can't move. It can't fly. It can't buzz. It says, "Help! Help! Let me go!"
+
+Lily says, "Gotcha, bug! You are not the king of the car. You are the king of the doll. And you are not going anywhere. You are my new pet."
+
+Tom says, "Thank you, Lily. You are very smart and brave. You saved my car from the bug. You are my best friend."
+
+Lily says, "You're welcome, Tom. You are very nice and polite. You let me use your shiny stuff. You are my best friend, too."
+
+Tom and Lily hug and smile. They are happy. They share the car and the doll and the bug. They play together until it is time to go home.
+Tom and Sam are two dogs who live in a big house with their human, Ben. Ben loves his dogs and gives them good food and toys. Sometimes, he takes them to the park to play and run. Tom and Sam are happy dogs.
+
+One day, Ben has to go away for a long time. He tells his dogs to stay in the house and be good. He puts some steak in their bowls and says he will be back soon. Tom and Sam wag their tails and lick his face. They love steak and Ben.
+
+But after Ben leaves, Tom and Sam get bored. They finish their steak and look for something else to do. They see a door that is open. It leads to the basement. They have never been there before. They are curious.
+
+They go down the stairs and sniff around. They find many things that smell funny. They find a box of old shoes, a pile of dirty clothes, and a bag of trash. They think these are toys and start to chew and tear them. They have fun.
+
+But then, they smell something else. Something very smelly. It is in a corner, under a blanket. They go closer and pull the blanket away. They see a big bone. It is old and rotten. It has flies and worms on it. It makes them sick.
+
+They bark and run away. They want to go back to their bowls and their beds. They want Ben to come back. They are sorry they went to the basement. They learned their lesson. They will stay in the house and be good. They hope Ben will not be mad at them. They hope he will bring them more steak. They love steak and Ben.
+Tom and Anna were twins who liked to play together. One day, they found a big box in the garage. They decided to make it their secret fort. They took some pillows, blankets and toys inside the box and closed the flap.
+
+"Let's pretend we are in an unknown land, full of magic and adventure," said Tom.
+
+"OK, but we need some food and drink too," said Anna. "I'm hungry and thirsty."
+
+Tom agreed. He crawled out of the box and went to the kitchen. He saw a carton of milk on the counter. He grabbed it and ran back to the box. He opened the flap and gave the milk to Anna.
+
+"Here, we can share this," he said.
+
+Anna smiled and took a sip. She passed the milk back to Tom. He took a sip too. They felt happy and cozy in their fort.
+
+Suddenly, they heard a loud noise outside. It was their mom, looking for them.
+
+"Tom, Anna, where are you?" she called. "It's time for lunch."
+
+Tom and Anna looked at each other. They did not want to leave their fort. They wanted to stay in their unknown land.
+
+"Let's hide," whispered Tom. "Maybe she won't find us."
+
+"OK," whispered Anna. "But what about the milk?"
+
+Tom had an idea. He saw a hole in the corner of the box. He poured the rest of the milk into the hole.
+
+"There, now the milk is gone," he said. "It vanished."
+
+Anna nodded. She thought it was a clever trick. They hugged each other and waited for their mom to go away.
+
+But their mom did not go away. She heard them whispering inside the box. She walked over and lifted the flap.
+
+"Hello, there you are," she said. "What are you doing in there?"
+
+Tom and Anna looked up. They saw their mom's face. They felt surprised and guilty.
+
+"We were playing," said Tom.
+
+"We made a fort," said Anna.
+
+Their mom smiled. She saw the pillows, blankets and toys. She also saw the empty carton of milk.
+
+"I see," she said. "That looks like fun. But you know you shouldn't take the milk without asking. And you shouldn't pour it on the floor. That's wasteful and messy."
+
+Tom and Anna felt sorry. They did not mean to be bad. They did not know the milk would make a puddle under the box.
+
+"We're sorry, mom," they said.
+
+Their mom hugged them. She was not angry. She was glad they were safe and creative.
+
+"It's OK, I forgive you," she said. "But next time, please ask me first. And use a cup or a bottle. And come when I call you. OK?"
+
+Tom and Anna nodded. They agreed to follow the rules. They crawled out of the box and followed their mom to the kitchen. They washed their hands and sat down for lunch. They ate their sandwiches and drank some juice. They still liked their fort, but they also liked their mom. They decided to play in their unknown land later, after they cleaned up the mess.
+Lily liked to help her grandma sort the clothes. Grandma was elderly and had a lot of clothes. Some were big, some were small, some were bright, some were dark. Lily and grandma made piles of clothes that looked the same.
+
+One day, Lily found a belt in the clothes. It was long and brown and had a shiny buckle. Lily did not know what it was. She asked grandma, "What is this?"
+
+Grandma smiled and said, "That is a belt. You can wear it around your waist to hold up your pants or make your dress look nice. It was your grandpa's belt. He used to wear it a lot."
+
+Lily wanted to try the belt. She put it around her waist and pulled the buckle. But the belt was too big for her. It hung down to her knees and made her trip. Lily laughed and said, "This belt is silly. It does not fit me."
+
+Grandma laughed too and said, "No, it does not fit you. But maybe you can use it for something else. You can make a loop with it and hang it on the wall. You can put your toys or books or hats in it. You can make a belt basket."
+
+Lily liked that idea. She made a loop with the belt and hung it on a hook. She put her favorite doll and her teddy bear and her ball in it. She said, "Look, grandma, I made a belt basket. It is very pretty and useful."
+
+Grandma hugged her and said, "Yes, it is. You are very clever and creative, Lily. You can sort and make anything with the clothes. I am very proud of you."
+Tommy was a boy who liked to name things. He named his toys, his books, his clothes, and even his food. He had a name for every vegetable he ate. Carrots were orange sticks, broccoli was green trees, corn was yellow dots, and so on.
+
+One day, Tommy went to the market with his mom. He saw a lot of vegetables he had never seen before. He saw purple balls, white flowers, red stars, and brown roots. He was very curious and anxious to name them all. He asked his mom what they were.
+
+His mom smiled and told him the names of the vegetables. She said the purple balls were called eggplants, the white flowers were called cauliflowers, the red stars were called peppers, and the brown roots were called potatoes. She also told him they were all good to eat and make different dishes.
+
+Tommy was amazed and excited. He wanted to try them all. He asked his mom if they could buy some and take them home. His mom agreed and put some in the basket. Tommy was happy and proud. He had learned new names and new vegetables. He couldn't wait to eat them and name them again.
+Anna and Ben were playing in the park with their mom. They liked to swing, slide and run on the grass. They saw some big kids making a fire with sticks and leaves. They wanted to see the fire, but their mom said no.
+
+"Fire is hot and can hurt you. Stay away from it," mom said.
+
+But Anna and Ben were curious. They waited until mom was talking to another mom. Then they sneaked to the fire. They saw the big kids laughing and throwing more sticks. The fire was bright and crackling.
+
+"Wow, look at the fire!" Anna said.
+
+"Can we touch it?" Ben asked.
+
+"No, it's hot. But maybe we can pinch it," Anna said.
+
+She reached out her hand to pinch the fire. But as soon as she touched it, she felt a sharp pain. She screamed and pulled back her hand. It was red and sore.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow! It hurts!" Anna cried.
+
+Ben was scared and anxious. He ran to get mom. Mom came and saw Anna's hand. She was angry and worried.
+
+"What did you do? You pinched the fire? Why did you do that?" mom asked.
+
+"I'm sorry, mom. I was curious. It looked pretty," Anna said.
+
+Mom hugged Anna and Ben. She took them to the water fountain and poured some water on Anna's hand. She said they had to go to the doctor.
+
+"Fire is not a toy. You have to listen to me. I don't want you to get hurt," mom said.
+
+Anna and Ben nodded. They said they were sorry. They learned their lesson. They never pinched the fire again.
+Tom was a fisherman. He liked to catch fish in the lake. He had a boat, a net and a rod. He used the rod to throw a hook with a worm into the water. He waited for a fish to bite.
+
+One day, he felt a big tug on his rod. He pulled hard and saw a huge fish jumping out of the water. It was shiny and scaly and had sharp teeth. Tom was very happy. He wanted to catch the fish and take it home.
+
+But the fish was very strong and smart. It did not want to be caught. It shook its head and tried to get rid of the hook. It splashed water on Tom and made him wet. It swam fast and dragged Tom's boat to a hidden place. It was a cave under the lake. Tom did not know the cave was there.
+
+"Help! Help!" Tom shouted. He was scared. He could not see anything in the dark. He did not know what was in the cave. He heard strange noises and felt cold.
+
+"Who are you?" a voice asked. It was a deep and grumbly voice. It came from the cave.
+
+"I am Tom. I am a fisherman. Please let me go!" Tom said.
+
+"Why did you try to catch me?" the voice asked. It was the fish. It could talk.
+
+"I did not know you could talk. I am sorry. I just wanted to catch a fish for dinner. You are a very big and beautiful fish. Please let me go. I will not bother you again." Tom said.
+
+The fish thought for a moment. It felt sorry for Tom. It did not want to hurt him. It was lonely in the cave. It wanted a friend.
+
+"Okay. I will let you go. But you have to promise me something. You have to come back and visit me sometimes. You have to talk to me and tell me stories. You have to be my friend." the fish said.
+
+"Really? You want to be my friend?" Tom asked. He was surprised. He had never met a talking fish before.
+
+"Yes. I do. I am lonely. I have no one to talk to. Will you be my friend?" the fish asked.
+
+"Yes. I will. I promise. You are a very nice fish. What is your name?" Tom asked.
+
+"My name is Finn. What is yours?" the fish asked.
+
+"My name is Tom. Nice to meet you, Finn." Tom said.
+
+"Nice to meet you, Tom. Come on. I will show you the way out of the cave. And then you can come back and visit me again." Finn said.
+
+"Thank you, Finn. You are very kind. I will come back and visit you soon." Tom said.
+
+And so Tom and Finn became friends. They talked and played and learned from each other. Tom still caught fish in the lake, but he never tried to catch Finn. He respected him and loved him. And Finn was happy to have a friend. He was not lonely anymore. They were both happy.
+Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play with toys. Today, they have a new toy. It is a car. The car can drive.
+
+"Can I drive the car?" Tom asks Sue.
+
+"Yes, you can," Sue says. "But be careful. Do not drive too fast."
+
+Tom takes the car and drives it on the floor. He makes vroom-vroom sounds. He is happy. He drives the car around the room.
+
+Sue watches Tom. She sees a squash on the table. The squash is big and orange. Sue has an idea. She takes the squash and puts it on the floor.
+
+"Look, Tom," Sue says. "A big hill. Can you drive the car over the hill?"
+
+Tom sees the squash. He thinks it is a hill. He wants to try. He drives the car towards the squash. He pushes the car hard.
+
+But the car is little. And the squash is big. The car cannot go over the squash. The car hits the squash and stops. The car is stuck.
+
+"Oh no," Tom says. "The car is stuck. How can we get it out?"
+
+Sue laughs. She thinks it is funny. She helps Tom to pull the car out of the squash. The car is dirty. The squash is squished.
+
+"Sorry, Tom," Sue says. "The squash was not a good hill. Let us clean the car and find a better hill."
+
+Tom is not mad. He smiles. He likes Sue. He likes the car. He says, "OK, Sue. Let us find a better hill. And then we can drive the car again."
+Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to find acorns and make marks on them with sticks. They made faces, letters and shapes on the acorns.
+
+"Look, I made a happy face!" Lily said, showing Tom her acorn.
+
+"That's nice, but I made a smart face!" Tom said, showing Lily his acorn. He had made glasses and a hat on his acorn.
+
+"No, you didn't. That's a silly face!" Lily said, laughing.
+
+"Yes, I did. It's a smart face and I'm smart too!" Tom said, getting angry.
+
+They started to argue about who was smarter and whose acorn was better. They did not want to share or play together anymore.
+
+A squirrel was watching them from a tree. He saw the acorns on the ground and thought they looked tasty. He jumped down and ran towards them.
+
+"Hey, that's our acorns!" Tom and Lily shouted, seeing the squirrel.
+
+They forgot their fight and ran after the squirrel. They wanted to get their acorns back.
+
+But the squirrel was faster and smarter than them. He grabbed the acorns and ran up the tree. He ate them and made a happy noise.
+
+Tom and Lily stopped and looked at each other. They felt sad and silly. They had lost their acorns and their fun.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily. Your acorn was nice too." Tom said.
+
+"I'm sorry, Tom. Your acorn was smart too." Lily said.
+
+They hugged and smiled. They decided to find more acorns and make new marks on them. They also decided to be nice and share with each other.
+
+They learned that being friends was more important than being smart or right. And they learned to watch out for squirrels.
+Tom and Jen are twins. They like to play outside. But today it is raining. They are sad. They want to go to the store with Mom. Mom says no. The store is far and the car is broken. They have to wait for Dad to fix it.
+
+Tom and Jen are bored. They look for toys in their room. They find a ball, a doll, a truck and a puzzle. They try to play with them. But they are not fun. The ball is too small, the doll is missing an eye, the truck has no wheels and the puzzle has too many pieces. They are angry. They start to fight.
+
+They throw the toys at each other. They yell and cry. Mom hears them. She comes to their room. She is not happy. She sees the mess. She sees the broken toys. She scolds them. She tells them to stop fighting and to share. She tells them to clean up. She tells them to be nice.
+
+Tom and Jen are sorry. They hug Mom. They hug each other. They say sorry. They pick up the toys. They put them in a box. They find some glue and tape. They try to fix the toys. They make them look better. They are happy. They play with them. They share. They laugh.
+
+Mom smiles. She is proud. She tells them they are good. She tells them Dad is home. He fixed the car. He can take them to the store. They are excited. They run to the car. They thank Dad. They go to the store. They have fun. They forget the rain.
+Ben and Lily liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big rhinoceros. The rhinoceros was gray and soft and had a horn on its nose. Ben and Lily liked to hug it and pretend it was their friend.
+
+One day, Ben and Lily had a fight. They both wanted to play with the rhinoceros at the same time. Ben said, "It is mine!" and Lily said, "No, it is mine!" They pulled and pulled on the rhinoceros, but it did not move. They pulled harder and harder, until they heard a rip.
+
+They had torn the rhinoceros in half. They looked at the rhinoceros and saw its stuffing coming out. They felt sad and sorry. They had broken their favorite toy. They started to cry.
+
+Mom heard them crying and came to see what was wrong. She saw the torn rhinoceros and the stuffing on the floor. She said, "Oh, no! What happened?" Ben and Lily told her they had a fight and tore the rhinoceros. Mom said, "That was not nice. You should share your toys and be kind to each other. And you should be gentle with your toys. They are not alive, but they can still get hurt."
+
+Mom hugged Ben and Lily and said, "I love you both, but you need to say sorry to each other and to the rhinoceros. Maybe we can fix it with some thread and a needle. But first, you need to learn a lesson. Do you know what a rhinoceros is?" Ben and Lily shook their heads. Mom said, "A rhinoceros is a big animal that lives in Africa. It has a horn on its nose and thick skin. It is very strong and can run fast. But it is also deaf. It cannot hear very well. That is why it needs its horn and its skin to protect itself from other animals. Sometimes, other animals try to hurt it or take its food. But the rhinoceros does not give up. It fights back and defends itself. It is brave and proud."
+
+Ben and Lily listened to Mom and looked at the rhinoceros. They felt bad for tearing it. They said, "We are sorry, rhinoceros. We did not mean to hurt you. You are brave and proud. We want to be like you. We want to be your friends." They hugged the rhinoceros and each other. Mom smiled and said, "That is good. I am proud of you. Now, let's go and fix the rhinoceros. Maybe we can give it a name. How about Rocky?" Ben and Lily liked the name. They said, "Yes, Rocky. We love you, Rocky." They followed Mom to the kitchen, where she had some thread and a needle. They helped her sew the rhinoceros back together. They were careful and gentle. They did not want to hurt Rocky again.
+
+When they were done, they thanked Mom and took Rocky to their room. They played with him and told him stories. They shared him and were kind to him. They made him a bed and a blanket. They said, "Good night, Rocky. You are our best friend. We will take care of you." They kissed him and went to sleep. Rocky smiled and felt happy. He was not deaf to their love. He heard it in their hearts.
+Lily and Max are friends. They like to play in the park. They observe many things in the park. They see birds, flowers, dogs and people.
+
+One day, they observe a new thing in the park. It is big and round and shiny. It has many colors on it. It looks like a ball, but it is not a ball. It is a balloon.
+
+"Wow, look at that!" Lily says. "What is it?"
+
+"I don't know," Max says. "It is very pretty. Do you think we can play with it?"
+
+Lily and Max run to the balloon. They want to touch it and hold it. But when they get close, the balloon moves away. It is tied to a string. The string is in the hand of a man. The man is sitting on a bench. He is reading a book.
+
+"Hey, mister, can we play with your balloon?" Lily asks.
+
+The man looks up from his book. He smiles at Lily and Max. He says, "Sure, you can play with my balloon. But be careful. Don't let it go. It will fly away."
+
+Lily and Max are confused. They don't understand how a balloon can fly. They think it is magic. They take turns holding the string. They feel the balloon pull on the string. They laugh and giggle.
+
+They play with the balloon for a long time. They have fun. They thank the man for letting them play with his balloon. They go back to their parents. They tell them about the balloon. They say it is the best thing they ever observed in the park.
+Lily and Sam are best friends. They live next door to each other and play every day. They like to run, jump, sing and draw together. They share their toys and snacks and secrets.
+
+One day, Sam tells Lily that he is going to visit his grandma for a week. He says he will miss her a lot. Lily feels sad and hugs him. She says she will miss him too. She gives him a picture of them holding hands. She says it is for his heart.
+
+While Sam is away, Lily is bored and lonely. She tries to play with her other friends, but they are not as fun as Sam. She tries to play with her toys, but they are not as interesting as Sam. She tries to draw, but she can only think of Sam.
+
+She decides to go to Sam's house and see if he left anything for her. She knocks on the door, but no one answers. She sees a window that is open. She is very nosy and wants to peek inside. She climbs on a chair and looks through the window.
+
+She sees Sam's room. She sees his bed, his books, his toys and his clothes. She also sees something that makes her smile. She sees her picture on his pillow. She knows that Sam misses her too. She feels happy and warm in her heart.
+
+She gets down from the chair and runs back to her house. She waits for Sam to come back. She knows that they will play again soon. She knows that they are best friends.
+Sara and Tom are playing in the park. They see a big tree with a hole. They want to look inside the hole.
+
+"Maybe there is a treasure in the hole," Sara says.
+
+"Or a monster," Tom says.
+
+They go near the tree and peek into the hole. They see a file. It is brown and has many papers inside. They do not know what the papers say. They are mysterious.
+
+"Who put the file in the hole?" Sara asks.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe a spy or a detective," Tom says.
+
+They are curious. They want to take the file and see the papers. But they are also scared. Maybe someone is watching them. Maybe the file is a trap.
+
+"What should we do?" Tom asks.
+
+Sara thinks for a moment. Then she has an idea.
+
+"Let's pretend we don't see the file. Let's play something else. Maybe the person who put the file in the hole will come back and take it. Then we can follow them and see who they are," Sara says.
+
+Tom likes the idea. He nods.
+
+"OK. Let's play tag. You are it!" Tom says.
+
+He runs away from Sara. Sara chases him. They laugh and have fun. But they also keep an eye on the hole. They hope to see the mysterious person who put the file in the hole. They hope to solve the mystery.
+Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play in the woods. They had a big tent, a ball, and some books. One day, they found a weird thing in the grass. It was an axe. It was shiny and sharp.
+
+"Look, Ben, a new toy!" Lily said.
+
+"No, Lily, that's not a toy. That's an axe. It can hurt you. We should leave it alone," Ben said.
+
+But Lily did not listen. She picked up the axe and swung it around. She felt strong and brave. She wanted to chop something.
+
+"Let's play lumberjack, Ben. I'll chop this tree and you can watch," she said.
+
+Ben was scared. He knew that chopping trees was not a game. He tried to stop Lily, but she was too fast. She ran to a big tree and raised the axe.
+
+"Lily, no, don't do it!" Ben shouted.
+
+But it was too late. Lily swung the axe and hit the tree. But the tree was not a normal tree. It was a magic tree. It did not like being chopped. It made a loud noise and shook its branches. It dropped a lot of nuts and leaves on Lily and Ben. It also dropped a big sign that said: "Do not chop me. I am a friend of the forest."
+
+Lily and Ben were very surprised. They dropped the axe and ran away. They did not want to make the tree angry. They learned their lesson. They decided to spend their time playing with their ball and books instead. They never touched the axe again. They also said sorry to the tree and gave it a hug. The tree forgave them and became their friend. They all lived happily in the woods.
+Sara and Ben are playing with their toys in the living room. Sara has a lovely doll with long hair and a pink dress. Ben has a car with four wheels and a loud horn. They are having fun, but they want different things.
+
+Sara wants to play with Ben's car, but Ben does not want to share. He says, "No, this is my car. You have your doll." Sara gets angry and tries to grab the car from Ben. Ben holds on tight and shakes his head. He says, "Stop, Sara. You are being mean."
+
+Sara does not stop. She pulls harder and harder, until the car breaks in two. Ben starts to cry. He says, "Look what you did, Sara. You broke my car. It had a lock and a key, and now they are gone." Sara feels sorry and says, "I'm sorry, Ben. I did not mean to break your car. I just wanted to play with it."
+
+They look around and see the lock and the key on the floor. They pick them up and try to fix the car. They push and twist and turn, but the car does not fit together. They are sad and frustrated. They say, "What can we do? How can we make the car work again?"
+
+Then they hear a knock on the door. It is their mom. She comes in and sees the broken car and the sad faces. She says, "What happened here, Sara and Ben? Why are you so upset?" They tell her what happened and show her the car. She says, "Oh, I see. Well, don't worry. I have an idea. Why don't we use the lock and the key to make a necklace for your doll? It will look lovely on her. And then we can glue the car back together and put some stickers on it. It will look like new. How does that sound?"
+
+Sara and Ben smile and nod. They say, "That sounds great, mom. Thank you for helping us." They hug their mom and give her the lock and the key. They work together to make the necklace and fix the car. They say, "We are sorry for fighting, mom. We love you and we love each other." They hug again and go back to playing with their toys. They are happy and friends again.
+Tom and Lily liked to play with their toy train. They had a big track with bridges and tunnels and stations. They made the train go fast and slow and stop and honk.
+
+One day, they heard a loud noise outside. They ran to the window and saw a real train passing by. It was huge and shiny and had many cars. They waved at the train and the train honked back.
+
+"Wow, look at that train!" Tom said. "It is so big and loud and fast!"
+
+"I want to ride on that train!" Lily said. "It looks like fun!"
+
+"Maybe we can ask Mom and Dad to take us to the train station someday," Tom said. "They might know how to get tickets."
+
+"Good idea!" Lily said. "Let's go and mention it to them!"
+
+They ran to the kitchen where Mom and Dad were making lunch. They told them about the train they saw and asked if they could go to the train station.
+
+Mom and Dad smiled and said, "We're glad you like trains. They are very useful and interesting. We can take you to the train station next weekend and show you how they work. Maybe we can even ride on a friendly train that goes to a nice place."
+
+Tom and Lily were very happy and thanked Mom and Dad. They went back to their room and played with their toy train some more. They pretended they were going to the train station and riding on a friendly train. They had a lot of fun.
+Lily was anxious. She had to go to the toilet, but she did not know where it was. She was at her friend's house for a play date, and she was too shy to ask. She looked around the room, but she did not see a door with a sign that said "toilet". She saw a door with a sign that said "closet", and another door with a sign that said "bedroom". She wondered if the toilet was in one of them.
+
+She decided to try the closet door first. She opened it and saw a lot of clothes and toys. She did not see a toilet. She closed the door and tried the bedroom door. She opened it and saw a big bed and a dresser. She did not see a toilet. She closed the door and felt more anxious. She had to go to the toilet very soon, or she would have an accident.
+
+She saw another door at the end of the hall. She hoped it was the toilet. She ran to it and opened it. She saw a sink and a tub and a toilet. She was so happy. She ran to the toilet and pulled down her pants. She sat on the toilet and peed. She felt much better. She reached for the toilet paper, but there was none. She looked around and saw a basket with some towels. She grabbed one and wiped herself. She threw the towel in the trash can and flushed the toilet. She pulled up her pants and washed her hands.
+
+She opened the door and saw her friend's mom standing there. She looked angry. She asked Lily what she was doing. Lily said she had to go to the toilet. Her friend's mom said she should have asked her. She said she was rude to use a towel and throw it away. She said she had to add a new towel to the basket. She said she had to apologize to her friend. Lily felt sad and sorry. She said she was sorry. She said she did not know where the toilet was. She said she was anxious. Her friend's mom said she understood. She said she was sorry too. She said she should have shown her where the toilet was. She said she was not mad at her. She said she was glad she did not have an accident. She said she was still her friend. She gave her a hug and a smile. Lily felt happy and relieved. She hugged her back and thanked her. She said she was still her friend too. They went back to the play room and joined her friend. They played with the dolls and had fun. Lily was not anxious anymore. She was happy.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big bird with a long neck and a pink feather. It is a flamingo. They are very happy to see it.
+
+"Look, Anna, a flamingo!" Ben says. "It is so pretty and delicate. Can we go closer?"
+
+"Yes, Ben, let's go. But we have to be quiet and gentle. We don't want to scare it," Anna says.
+
+They walk slowly to the flamingo. It is standing on one leg in the water. It looks at them with a curious eye. Anna and Ben smile and wave.
+
+"Hello, flamingo. We are Anna and Ben. We are your friends," Anna says softly.
+
+The flamingo makes a low sound. It bends its neck and touches Anna's cheek with its beak. Anna giggles. It is like a kiss.
+
+"Wow, Anna, the flamingo likes you. It kissed you," Ben says.
+
+"Really? That is so nice. Thank you, flamingo. You are very sweet," Anna says.
+
+She kisses the flamingo back on its feather. The flamingo flaps its wings and makes a louder sound. It is happy.
+
+Anna and Ben hug each other. They are very happy too. They have a new friend.
+
+"Anna, Ben, this is amazing news. You kissed a flamingo. How did you do that?" a voice says.
+
+They turn around and see their mom. She has a camera in her hand. She took a picture of them and the flamingo.
+
+"Mom, we are so glad you are here. We want to tell you everything. We met a flamingo and it kissed us. It is so delicate and pretty. We love it," Anna and Ben say.
+
+Mom smiles and hugs them. She is proud of them. They are brave and kind.
+
+"That is a wonderful story, Anna and Ben. You are very lucky. A flamingo kiss is very special. I am happy for you. Let's go home and show dad the picture. He will be amazed too," Mom says.
+
+They wave goodbye to the flamingo. It waves back with its wing. They hope to see it again. They have a lot of news to share.
+Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play in the snow. They made a big igloo with snow blocks and a hole for the door. They put some blankets and toys inside and pretended it was their house.
+
+One day, they found a shiny necklace in the snow. It had many colors and sparkles. Lily wanted to wear it, but Ben wanted to keep it. They started to fight over the necklace.
+
+"Give it to me, it's mine!" Lily shouted.
+
+"No, it's mine, I saw it first!" Ben yelled.
+

+
+Lily and Ben stopped fighting and looked at their igloo. They were sad and scared. The igloo was their favorite place to play, and now it was ruined. They heard a loud noise and saw a big piece of snow fall on the hole. They were trapped inside the igloo with no way out.
+
+They cried and hugged each other. They wished they had not fought over the necklace. They wished they had shared it or left it alone. They wished they had been nicer to each other. But it was too late. The igloo was their tomb.

+
+Her mom looked at Sara and the box. She was not happy. She was very angry. She said, "Sara, those are not yours! Those are very expensive and important jewels. They belong to Grandma. She gave them to me for safekeeping. You should not touch them. You could lose them or break them. You are very naughty. You are in big trouble."
+
+Sara felt very sad and scared. She did not mean to be naughty. She did not know the jewels were not for her. She wanted to make her mom happy, not angry. She said, "I'm sorry, Mommy, I'm sorry. I thought they were a surprise. I wanted to be like you. Please don't be mad at me."
+
+Her mom took the jewels from Sara and put them back in the box. She said, "Sara, you have to learn to respect other people's things. You have to ask before you touch anything that is not yours. You have to be more careful and helpful, not careless and selfish. You have to go to your room and think about what you did. You are grounded for a week. No more playing with jewelry or anything else. Go now."
+
+Sara cried and went to her room. She felt very bad. She wished she never opened the box. She wished she could make her mom happy again. She wished she could have a surprise that was good, not bad.

+
+But the food was old and bad. It had rot in it. Tom did not know that. He felt sick and his tummy hurt. He lay down on the grass and moaned. His fur was dirty and sticky. He wanted to go home and drink water.

+
+Ben nods and smiles. He says, "Yes, Lily, a good stick! What show do we do?"
+
+Lily thinks for a moment. She says, "We can do a dance show! We can use the stick as a drum. You hit the stick on the ground and I dance. Then we switch!"
+
+Ben likes the idea. He says, "OK, Lily, let's do it! I go first. You watch me and clap."

+Mia and Leo were twins who loved to eat blueberries. One day, their mom brought home a big basket of blueberries from the market. She told them they could have some after lunch, but not before.
+
+Mia and Leo were very impatient. They wanted to eat the blueberries right away. They sneaked into the kitchen when their mom was not looking and grabbed a handful of blueberries each. They ran to their room and closed the door.
+
+"Yum, these are so sweet and juicy!" Mia said, popping a blueberry in her mouth.
+
+"Let's see who can eat more!" Leo said, eating two at a time.
+
+They ate and ate until their mouths and fingers were stained purple. They did not notice that their mom was knocking on their door.
+
+"Mia, Leo, open the door! It's time for lunch!" their mom said.
+
+Mia and Leo looked at each other. They knew they were in trouble. They had eaten all the blueberries in the basket. There were none left for lunch.
+
+"What do we do?" Mia whispered.
+
+"Let's disappear!" Leo whispered back.
+
+They quickly hid under their bed and hoped their mom would not find them. But their mom was not fooled. She opened the door and saw the empty basket and the purple stains.
+
+"Mia, Leo, come out right now! You ate all the blueberries! That was very naughty!" she said.
+
+Mia and Leo crawled out from under the bed. They felt sorry and ashamed. They said sorry to their mom and promised to share next time.
+
+Their mom hugged them and forgave them. She said she still loved them, but they had to eat their lunch first. She made them some sandwiches and milk. She also gave them a surprise.
+
+"Look, I have some more blueberries for dessert! I bought two baskets, just in case. But you have to wait until you finish your lunch, okay?" she said.
+
+Mia and Leo smiled and nodded. They learned their lesson. They ate their lunch and waited for their dessert. They enjoyed the blueberries more because they shared them with their mom. They did not disappear again.
+Tim and Sam were brothers. They liked to bake cookies with Mom. Mom said they could bake today, but they had to wait for her to come back from the store. She gave them a big bowl, some flour, some sugar, some eggs, and some chocolate chips. She said, "Be good boys and don't make a mess."
+
+Tim and Sam poured the flour and the sugar in the bowl. They mixed them with a spoon. Then they wanted to add the eggs. Tim said, "I can crack the eggs. I am older and stronger." Sam said, "No, I can crack the eggs. I am smarter and faster." They both grabbed an egg and tried to crack it on the edge of the bowl.
+
+But they cracked the eggs too hard. The eggs broke and spilled all over the bowl, the table, and the floor. The shells were sharp and rough. They cut their fingers and made them bleed. They cried and dropped the eggs. The chocolate chips rolled away and got lost.
+
+Mom came back from the store. She saw the mess and the blood and the tears. She was very angry and sad. She said, "What did you do? You ruined the cookies and hurt yourselves. You were not good boys. You were naughty boys. You have to go to your room and no cookies for you."
+
+Tim and Sam felt sorry and ashamed. They said, "We are sorry, Mom. We wanted to bake cookies with you. We did not mean to make a mess and hurt ourselves. We were fighting over the eggs. We were silly boys." Mom said, "I know you are sorry, but you have to learn to share and be careful. Maybe next time you can bake with me, but not today. Today you have to go to your room and think about what you did."
+
+Tim and Sam went to their room. They did not have any cookies. They did not have any fun. They had only pain and guilt. They wished they had listened to Mom and waited for her to come back. They wished they had not fought over the eggs. They wished they had been good boys.

+
+One night, they were looking at the stars together and Mia said, "Look, Tom, there is a shooting star! Make a wish, quick!" Tom looked at the star and said, "I wish I had a rocket to go to the moon." Mia said, "That's a silly wish, Tom. You can't go to the moon. It's too far and too cold and too dark. You should wish for something real, like a new toy or a candy."
+
+Tom felt sad and angry. He said, "No, Mia, you are wrong. I can go to the moon if I believe hard enough. My dad told me that anything is possible if you believe in yourself and your dreams. He said that the stars are like magic and they can help you if you are brave and kind. You are not brave and kind, Mia. You are mean and boring. You don't understand anything about stars and rockets and moons."
+
+Mia felt hurt and confused. She said, "No, Tom, you are wrong. I am brave and kind, and you are mean and silly. You don't understand anything about stars and wishes and reality. My mom told me that the stars are like friends and they can listen to you if you are honest and polite. She said that the stars are not magic and they can't make things happen for you. You have to work hard and be smart and be happy with what you have."
+

+
+Tom peeks out. He sees the dog's big teeth. He shakes his head. He says, "No, thank you. You are too loud and too big. I like my ball."
+
+The dog wags his tail. He says, "But I like your ball too. It is round and shiny. Can I have it?"
+
+Tom thinks. He likes his ball, but he does not want to be rude. He nods. He says, "Okay, you can have it. But be careful. Do not break it."
+
+The dog is happy. He takes the ball and runs away. He says, "Thank you, cat. You are very nice. Maybe we can play together another day."
+
+Tom watches the dog go. He feels a little sad. He misses his ball. But he also feels a little curious. He wonders if the dog is fun to play with. Maybe he will try it another day. He goes back to his sofa and takes a nap.

+
+"Yes, we do. It is perfect," Anna and Ben say.
+
+The man smiles. He tells them that the zebra is going to the zoo. He says they can visit the zebra there.
+
+"Can we touch the zebra?" Anna asks.
+
+"Sure. But be gentle. The zebra is shy," the man says.
+
+He opens the cage. He lets Anna and Ben pet the zebra. The zebra is soft and warm. It makes a funny sound. Anna and Ben giggle.

+Sara and Tom are twins. They like to play and laugh together. But they do not like to eat the same food. Sara loves carrots, but Tom hates them. Tom loves cheese, but Sara hates it.

+Mom said, "Tom, you have to eat some salad. It has carrots, too. You need to try new things."

+Tom shook his head and said, "No, no, no. I do not like carrots. They are hard and bitter. I refuse to eat them."
+
+Sara said, "Tom, carrots are not hard and bitter. They are soft and sweet. Here, have one of mine." She offered him a carrot.
+
+Tom said, "No, thank you. I do not want your carrot. I want cheese."
+
+Sara said, "But cheese is not good for you. It has too much fat. Carrots have vitamins. They make you strong and healthy."
+
+Tom said, "I do not care. I like cheese. I do not like carrots."
+
+Mom said, "Tom, you are being stubborn. You have to eat some salad, or you will not get any dessert."
+
+Tom said, "I do not want dessert. I want cheese."
+
+Mom said, "That is enough. You have to eat what I give you, or you will go to your room."
+
+Tom said, "Fine. I will go to my room. I do not want to eat with you."
+
+He got up and ran to his room. He slammed the door and cried.
+
+Sara said, "Mom, I am sorry. Tom is being silly. He does not know what he is missing. Can I have his dessert?"
+
+Mom said, "Yes, you can. You are a good girl. You ate your salad and you were polite. You make me happy."
+
+Sara said, "Thank you, Mom. You make me happy, too."
+
+She hugged Mom and ate her dessert. She was happy. She liked carrots.

+
+But then, she heard a loud voice. It was the owner of the wall. He was not happy. He was angry. He saw Lily's painting and shouted. He said it was his wall and she had no right to paint on it. He said she had ruined his wall and he wanted her to clean it up. He said he was a painter too, but he painted houses, not parades. He said he had just painted the wall white and now it was a mess.
+
+Lily was scared. She did not mean to make the man angry. She did not know it was his wall. She thought it was a blank canvas. She thought he would like her painting. She thought it was beautiful. She ran away from the wall and the man. She ran back to her house. She hid in her room. She cried. She wished she had never painted the parade.

+
+"Ben, that is not fair!" Lily says. She is sad. She likes to share. She wants to play with the arrow.
+
+"Fine, Lily, you can play with the arrow. But only if you give me something from your box!" Ben says. He is greedy. He wants to have more things.
+
+Lily thinks for a moment. She looks at her box. She sees a shiny rock. She likes the shiny rock. But she likes Ben more. She decides to trade the rock for the arrow.

+
+"Lily, why did you do that?" he said. "You ruined the blocks! Mom will be mad at us!"
+
+Lily did not understand. She thought Ben would like her art. She thought mom would like it too. She did not know ink was bad for blocks. She started to cry.
+
+"I'm sorry, Ben, I just wanted to make something pretty," she said.
+
+Ben felt sorry for Lily. He did not want to make her cry. He hugged her and said, "It's okay, Lily, don't cry. Maybe we can clean the blocks. Maybe mom will not be mad. Let's try to wash them with water and soap."
+
+They took the blocks to the sink and tried to wash them. Some of the ink came off, but some of it stayed. The blocks looked messy and stained. They were still worried.
+
+They heard their mom coming home. They put the blocks in a box and hid it under the bed. They hoped their mom would not find it. They hoped their mom would not be mad.

+Lily and Tom felt sorry for the man and the baby. They realized they had been rude and careless. They went to the man and said, "We are sorry, sir. We did not mean to hurt you and the baby. We were running from the dog. He wanted our ball."
+
+The man looked at them and saw the dog. He understood why they were scared. He said, "It's okay, kids. I forgive you. But you should be more careful in the park. It is very busy. And you should also be more kind to the dog. He just wanted to play with you. Maybe you can share the ball with him. He is not a bad dog. He is just a playful dog."
+
+Lily and Tom thought about what the man said. They agreed that he was right. They decided to share the ball with the dog. They threw the ball to the dog and let him catch it. The dog was happy. He wagged his tail and licked their faces. Lily and Tom laughed. They made a new friend.
+
+The moral of the story is: Be careful and kind in the park. Share your toys with others. You can make new friends.

+
+One day, Bella had to go to a big city with her owner. Her owner put a leash on her and said, "Come on, Bella, we have to go to the studio. You have to be a good girl and do your tricks."

+
+Bella saw many things in the city. She saw cars and buses and bikes and people. She saw birds and squirrels and cats and dogs. She wanted to chase them and make friends. But she could not. She was on a leash.

+
+When they got to the studio, her owner said, "OK, Bella, it's time to shine. You have to smile and wave and roll over and fetch. The camera is on. Everyone is watching. You are a famous dog."

+
+She cried loud and long. She cried so much that the camera stopped. She cried so much that the people were shocked. She cried so much that her owner was embarrassed. She cried so much that she made a puddle on the floor.
+
+Bella cried until her owner took off the leash. She cried until her owner hugged her and said, "I'm sorry, Bella. I was wrong. You are not a famous dog. You are my dog. And I love you." Bella stopped crying. She licked her owner's face and wagged her tail. She was happy. She was free. She was a dog.

+
+They see the rare lizard they saw on the rock. It is called a gecko.
+
+"That is the lizard we saw!" Sam says. "It is a gecko!"
+
+The lady smiles. "Yes, it is. Geckos are very special. They can stick to walls and change colors. They are also very shy. They do not like to be touched or chased. They run away when they feel scared."
+
+Tim and Sam understand. They feel sorry for the gecko. They did not mean to scare it.
+
+"We are sorry, lizard lady," Tim says. "We did not know. We just wanted to see the gecko."
+
+The lady nods. She is not angry. She is happy that they like lizards.
+
+"It is okay, boys," she says. "I understand. You are curious and kind. But you have to be careful and respectful with lizards. They are wild animals. They need their space and freedom. You can watch them from a distance, but do not touch them or chase them. Do you understand?"

+
+Sara was angry. She said, "They are not stupid. They are sunflowers. They are my friends. They make me happy. You are stupid. You are mean. Go away."
+
+Tom laughed. He said, "You are silly. They are not your friends. They are just plants. They cannot talk or play. I can do something fun. Watch this." He picked up a stick and ran to the sunflowers. He swung the stick and hit the sunflowers. He broke their stems and knocked off their petals. He said, "Ha ha ha. Look at them now. They are ugly and sad. They are not sunflowers anymore. They are trash."
+
+Sara cried. She ran to the sunflowers and tried to fix them. She said, "I'm sorry, sunflowers. I'm sorry, I'm sorry." She looked at Tom and said, "You are bad. You are very bad. You hurt my sunflowers. You hurt me. You have to pay."
+
+Tom stopped laughing. He saw Sara's face and felt scared. He said, "What do you mean? What are you going to do?" He tried to run away, but Sara was faster. She grabbed the stick and ran after him. She said, "You will see. You will see." She caught up with him and hit him with the stick. She hit him hard and made him fall. She said, "This is for my sunflowers. This is for me. This is what you get for being stupid and mean."
+
+Tom cried. He said, "Ow, ow, ow. Stop, stop, stop. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Please, please, please." He looked at Sara and said, "You are crazy. You are very crazy. You are worse than the sunflowers. You are a monster."
+
+Sara stopped. She dropped the stick and looked at Tom. She said, "No, I'm not. I'm not crazy. I'm not a monster. I'm just a girl who loves sunflowers. And you are just a boy who doesn't. But you should. You should love sunflowers. They are beautiful and good. They supply food and seeds and oil. They supply joy and hope and light. They are not stupid. They are smart. They are not boring. They are fun. They are not trash. They are treasure. You should learn from them. You should be like them. You should be a sunflower." She smiled and walked away. She left Tom on the ground, bleeding and crying. She went back to her garden and hugged her sunflowers. She said, "I love you, sunflowers. I love you, I love you." She looked at the sun and said, "Thank you, sun. Thank you, thank you." She was happy. She was a sunflower.

+They shivered. They were afraid of the turkey.
+
+"We're sorry, turkey. We just wanted to see you. You're very pretty," Lily said.
+
+"Pretty? Me? No, I'm not pretty. I'm old and ugly. Everyone hates me. That's why I live here alone," the turkey said.
+
+They felt sorry for the turkey.
+
+"That's not true, turkey. You're not old and ugly. You're ancient and beautiful. And we don't hate you. We like you. You're very friendly," Tom said.
+
+"Really? You like me? You're friendly?" the turkey said.
+
+"Yes, we do. We're your friends. Can we play with you?" Lily said.
+
+The turkey smiled. He was happy.
+
+"Of course you can. Come, I'll show you my toys. I have a lot of them. They're ancient too, but they're fun," the turkey said.

+They forgot they were shivering. They forgot they were scared. They were happy. They were friends.

+
+"Oh no!" Lily said. "The pool is broken. We can't swim anymore."
+
+Tom was brave. He said, "Don't worry, Lily. I can fix the leak. I have a big patch and some glue. I will swim to the hole and stick the patch on it."
+
+Lily was scared. She said, "But Tom, the hole is very deep. And the water is very cold. And what if there are sharks?"
+
+Tom smiled. He said, "Lily, there are no sharks in the pool. And I have a warm suit and a mask. And you can watch me from the side. I will be back soon."

+
+"Can I see?" Tom asks. He reaches for the necklace, but Lila pulls it away. "No, it's mine!"
+
+They start to fight over the necklace. They pull and tug and shout. The necklace breaks and the blue stone falls on the ground. It gets dirty and dull.
+
+"Oh no, what have we done?" Lila says. She feels sad and sorry.
+
+"Let's wash it and fix it," Tom says. He feels sad and sorry too.
+
+They run to the hose and wash the blue stone. It becomes shiny and bright again. They find some string and tie the stone to it. They make a new necklace.

+
+"Welcome to the circus!" Ben says. "We have many amazing acts for you. But first, let me introduce our star, the funny clown Sara!"
+
+Sara comes out of the closet, making funny faces and noises. She makes Ben and her stuffed animals laugh. She juggles balls and balloons. She rides a bike and falls down. She is a very good clown.
+
+But then, she sees something that makes her stop. She sees a spider on the wall. Sara is very afraid of spiders. She screams and drops everything. She runs to the other side of the room. She freezes and does not move.
+
+"What's wrong, Sara?" Ben asks. "Why did you stop? The show must go on!"
+
+Sara points to the spider. "Spider! Spider! Help!" she cries.
+
+Ben looks at the spider. He is not afraid of spiders. He thinks they are cool and interesting. He has an idea. He picks up a paper cup and a paper plate. He goes to the wall and traps the spider with the cup. He slides the plate under the cup. He has caught the spider.
+
+"Don't worry, Sara. I have the spider. It can't hurt you. Look, it's just a little spider. It's not scary. It's cute." He shows Sara the spider in the cup.
+
+Sara looks at the spider. She sees that it is small and fuzzy. It has eight legs and two eyes. It moves slowly in the cup. She feels a little curious. She does not scream anymore. She moves closer to Ben.
+
+"Can I see the spider?" she asks.
+
+"Sure, Sara. But be careful. Don't touch it. It might bite." Ben says.
+
+Sara and Ben look at the spider together. They see that it has different colors and patterns. They wonder what it eats and where it lives. They forget about the circus. They are ready to learn more about the spider. They are happy.
+Tim and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run, jump and slide on the grass and the swings. But they did not like the old merry-go-round. It was boring and slow.
+
+"Let's go on the merry-go-round," said Tim. "Maybe it will be fun today."
+
+"No, thank you," said Lily. "It is boring and slow. I want to play on the slide."
+
+"Please, Lily," said Tim. "Just one time. I will push it fast and we will have fun."
+
+Lily did not want to, but she did not want to make Tim sad. So she said yes and climbed on the merry-go-round. Tim pushed it hard and it started to turn.
+
+"See, Lily, it is fun!" said Tim. "It is not boring and slow. It is fast and fun!"
+
+But Lily did not think it was fun. She felt sick and dizzy. She wanted to get off, but she could not. The merry-go-round was turning too fast. She held on to the bar and tried not to cry.
+
+"Tim, stop!" she said. "I don't like it! I want to get off!"
+
+But Tim did not hear her. He was having too much fun. He pushed the merry-go-round faster and faster. He laughed and shouted.
+
+"Tim, stop!" Lily said again. "Please, Tim, stop!"
+
+But Tim did not stop. He pushed the merry-go-round so fast that it broke. The bar snapped and Lily flew off. She landed on the ground and hurt her waist. She cried and cried.
+
+Tim stopped laughing and shouting. He saw Lily on the ground and ran to her. He was scared and sorry.
+
+"Lily, Lily, are you okay?" he said. "I'm sorry, Lily, I'm sorry!"
+
+But Lily did not answer. She was too hurt and angry. She did not want to talk to Tim. She did not want to play with him. She did not want to be his friend. She hated the merry-go-round. She hated Tim. She wished she had never said yes.
+Anna liked to look at things with her microscope. She could see tiny bugs and hairs and dots. She put a leaf on the glass and turned the knob. She saw green lines and holes on the leaf.
+
+"Wow, this is so cool!" she said.
+
+Ben, her brother, came into the room. He wanted to play with the microscope too.
+
+"Let me see, let me see!" he said. He tried to grab the microscope from Anna.
+
+"No, it's mine! Go away!" Anna said. She pushed Ben with her hand.
+
+"Ow, that hurts! You're mean!" Ben said. He pushed Anna back with his hand.
+
+The microscope fell off the table and broke. The glass cracked and the knob snapped.
+
+Anna and Ben stared at the broken microscope. They felt sad and sorry.
+
+"Mama, mama, we broke the microscope!" they cried.
+
+Mama came into the room. She saw the mess and the tears.
+
+"What happened here?" she asked.
+
+"We were fighting and we pushed the microscope and it broke," Anna said.
+
+"We're sorry, mama, we're sorry," Ben said.
+
+Mama hugged them and said, "It's okay, I know you didn't mean to break it. But you have to learn to share and be gentle. The microscope is not a toy, it's a tool. It's not easy to fix it. Next time, you have to ask before you use it and take turns."
+
+Anna and Ben nodded and said, "Yes, mama, we understand. We're sorry."
+
+Mama smiled and said, "It's okay, I forgive you. Now, let's clean up this mess and find something else to play with. How about some blocks?"
+
+Anna and Ben smiled and said, "Yes, mama, we like blocks. Thank you, mama."
+
+They helped mama clean up the room and then played with the blocks. They built a tower and a bridge and a house. They didn't fight or push anymore. They had fun and learned to share.
+Lisa liked to help her mom in the kitchen. She wanted to learn how to cook and bake. She also liked to keep things organized. She had a special place for her toys, her books and her clothes.
+
+One day, her mom asked her to help put away the groceries. Lisa was happy to accept. She took the eggs, the milk and the cheese and put them in the refrigerator. She made sure they were in the right shelves. She liked how the refrigerator looked organized.
+
+Then she saw a big box on the counter. It had a picture of a cake on it. Lisa loved cake. She asked her mom, "What is this, mom?"
+
+Her mom smiled and said, "This is a surprise for you, Lisa. It's your birthday cake. I bought it from the bakery. Do you like it?"
+
+Lisa's eyes lit up. She hugged her mom and said, "I love it, mom. Thank you so much. You are the best mom ever."
+
+Her mom hugged her back and said, "You are welcome, Lisa. You are the best daughter ever. Happy birthday, my sweet girl."
+Lila and Ben were twins, but they liked different things. Lila loved to draw and paint, and Ben loved to run and jump. One day, they went to the park with their mom. Lila brought her crayons and paper, and Ben brought his ball and bat.
+
+"Can I play with you, Lila?" Ben asked. He was bored of his ball and bat.
+
+"No, Ben. I want to draw by myself. I am independent," Lila said. She did not want to share her crayons and paper.
+
+"Fine. I will find someone else to play with. I am independent, too," Ben said. He ran away to look for other kids.
+
+Lila started to draw a big flower on her paper. She used many colors. She was happy with her drawing. Then, she looked up at the sky. She saw something beautiful. It was a rainbow. It had many colors, too. Lila smiled. She wanted to show her drawing to the rainbow.
+
+"Hello, rainbow. Do you like my flower?" Lila asked. She held up her paper.
+
+The rainbow did not answer. It just shone in the sky.
+
+"Please, talk to me, rainbow. I want to be your friend," Lila said. She felt lonely.
+
+The rainbow did not answer. It started to fade away.
+
+Lila felt sad. She wished she had someone to play with. She wished she had not been so mean to Ben. She gazed at the sky, hoping the rainbow would come back.
+
+Then, she heard a voice.
+
+"Lila, look what I found!" It was Ben. He came back to her. He had a big smile on his face. He held something in his hand. It was a butterfly. It had many colors, too.
+
+"Wow, Ben. That is a beautiful butterfly. Can I see it?" Lila asked. She forgot about the rainbow.
+
+"Sure, Lila. Here, you can hold it. But be gentle. It is fragile," Ben said. He gave the butterfly to Lila.
+
+Lila held the butterfly carefully. She felt its wings tickle her palm. She smiled.
+
+"Thank you, Ben. You are a good brother. I am sorry I did not want to play with you before," Lila said.
+
+"That's okay, Lila. I am sorry I ran away from you. You are a good sister. Do you want to play with me now?" Ben asked.
+
+"Yes, Ben. I do. Let's play together. We can share our things. We can be independent, but we can also be friends," Lila said.
+
+They hugged each other. Then, they played with the butterfly, the crayons, the paper, the ball and the bat. They had fun. They did not notice that the rainbow came back. It watched them from the sky. It smiled, too.
+Anna and Ben were friends who liked to draw. They had many colors and shapes to make pictures with. One day, they found a new box of crayons that had a symbol on it. The symbol was a star with a circle around it.
+
+Anna and Ben opened the box and saw many crayons that were different from the ones they had. They were shiny and bright, and some of them had sparkles. Anna and Ben wanted to try them, so they picked one each and started to draw.
+
+Anna chose a purple crayon and drew a flower. Ben chose a green crayon and drew a frog. They were happy with their pictures, but then they noticed something strange. The crayons started to glow in the dark. Anna and Ben were scared and dropped the crayons. The crayons rolled away and left glowing marks on the floor.
+
+Anna and Ben ran to their mom and told her what happened. Mom looked at the box of crayons and saw the symbol. She said, "These are not crayons, these are magic markers. They have a special power that makes them glow, but they can also be dangerous. You should not use them without asking me first."
+
+Anna and Ben felt sorry and said they were sorry. Mom hugged them and said, "It's okay, I know you were curious. But you should always be careful with things that are different. Sometimes they can be fun, but sometimes they can be harmful. You should always ask before you try something new."
+
+Anna and Ben learned their lesson and said they would ask next time. They gave the box of crayons back to mom and asked her to keep them safe. They decided to use their old crayons instead, and they were still happy with their pictures. They realized that they did not need magic markers to make beautiful art. They only needed their imagination and their friendship.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play together. They have a big box of toys. They pretend to be a family. Anna is the mom and Ben is the dad.
+
+One day, they decide to get married. They find a ring and a veil in the box. Anna puts on the veil and Ben puts on the ring. They hold hands and say, "I do."
+
+Then they have a party. They make food out of clay and paper. They have cake, pizza, and salad. They invite their stuffed animals and dolls. They share their food and say, "This is delicious!"
+
+They dance and sing and laugh. They are happy. They hug and kiss. They say, "We love each other."
+
+They play until it is dark. Then they say goodbye. They put their toys back in the box. They go to their homes. They sleep and dream of their wedding. They are friends.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to look for bugs and flowers. They saw a big mushroom under a tree. It was brown and round and had white spots.
+
+"Look, Ben, a mushroom!" Lily said. "Can we touch it?"
+
+Ben shook his head. "No, Lily, mushrooms can be bad. They can make you sick. We can only look."
+
+They looked at the mushroom. It was very beautiful. The sun was shining on it and it made it glow. They saw a little bug crawling on it. It was green and had wings.
+
+"Wow, a bug!" Ben said. "What is it?"
+
+Lily smiled. "It is a fairy, Ben. A fairy that lives on the mushroom. It is shining too. Maybe it has magic."
+
+They watched the fairy bug fly away. They wished they could fly too. They decided to make a wish on the mushroom.
+
+"I wish I could fly like a fairy," Lily said.
+
+"I wish I could fly like a bird," Ben said.
+
+They closed their eyes and wished hard. Then they opened them and looked at each other.
+
+"Did it work?" Lily asked.
+
+Ben shrugged. "I don't know. Let's try."
+
+They flapped their arms and jumped. They did not fly. They fell on the grass and laughed.
+
+"Maybe we need more magic," Ben said.
+
+"Or maybe we just need to have fun," Lily said.
+
+They got up and ran to the swing. They swung high and felt the wind in their hair. They felt like they were flying. They were happy. They forgot about the mushroom and the fairy. They only remembered their wish.
+Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play together. One day, they decided to bake a cake for their mom, who was at work. They found a recipe book and some ingredients in the kitchen. They mixed flour, sugar, eggs, butter, and chocolate in a big bowl. They poured the batter into a pan and put it in the oven.
+
+While the cake was baking, they went outside to play with their toy automobiles. They raced them on the sidewalk and made loud noises. They did not hear the timer beep or smell the smoke. The cake was burning in the oven!
+
+A neighbor saw the smoke and called the fire department. The firemen came with a big truck and a loud siren. They knocked on the door and Lily and Ben ran inside. They saw the firemen take out the black and disgusting cake from the oven. They felt scared and sorry.
+
+The firemen told them that they should never bake without an adult. They said that baking can be fun, but also dangerous. They said that they were lucky that the fire did not spread. They said that they should always pay attention to what they are doing and not leave the oven unattended.
+
+Lily and Ben nodded and apologized. They thanked the firemen for saving their house. They hugged each other and promised to be more careful next time. They learned that baking is a responsibility, not just a game. They hoped that their mom would not be too angry with them. They decided to make her a card instead of a cake.
+Lily likes to write. She writes with her crayons on paper. She writes her name, and her mom's name, and her cat's name. She writes big and small and many colors. She is happy when she writes.
+
+One day, Lily wants to write a letter to her grandma. She asks her mom for an envelope and a stamp. Her mom gives them to her and says, "That's very nice, Lily. Grandma will love your letter." Lily writes her letter and puts it in the envelope. She sticks the stamp on it and writes Grandma's address.
+
+Lily runs to the door. She wants to put her letter in the mailbox. But the door is locked. Lily tries to open it, but she can't. She looks for the key, but she can't find it. She asks her mom, "Mom, where is the key?" Her mom says, "I'm sorry, Lily. I don't have the key. Dad has the key, and he is at work. He will be back soon."
+
+Lily is sad. She can't send her letter to Grandma. She sits on the floor and cries. She hugs her letter and says, "I want to send you to Grandma. I miss her. I love her." Her mom hugs her and says, "I know, Lily. I miss her too. I love her too. But don't worry. Dad will be back soon, and he will unlock the door. Then you can send your letter to Grandma. She will be very happy to get it. She will write you back. She will say thank you and I love you."
+
+Lily stops crying. She wipes her tears and smiles. She says, "Okay, Mom. I will wait for Dad. I hope he comes soon. I want to send my letter to Grandma." Her mom says, "He will come soon, Lily. He loves you. He loves Grandma. He loves us all." They hug and kiss and wait for Dad. Lily holds her letter and hopes Grandma will like it. She is still sad, but not so much. She is also a little bit happy. She likes to write.
+Anna liked to play in the park with her big brother Tom. They ran and jumped and slid on the grass. Anna saw a big tree with many leaves. She asked Tom what it was.
+
+"That is an oak tree," Tom said. "It is very old and strong. It gives us shade and acorns."
+
+Anna wanted to touch the oak tree. She ran to it and hugged its thin trunk. She felt the rough bark and the smooth leaves. She looked up and saw a squirrel on a branch.
+
+"Hello, squirrel!" Anna said. "Do you live in the oak tree?"
+
+The squirrel looked at Anna and made a noise. It ran along the branch and jumped to another tree.
+
+"Where are you going, squirrel?" Anna asked. "Don't you like the oak tree?"
+
+Tom came to Anna and smiled. He said, "The squirrel likes to change trees. It likes to explore and find new things. Sometimes it comes back to the oak tree, sometimes it goes to another park."
+
+Anna nodded. She said, "I like to change too. I like to try new games and toys and books. But I also like the oak tree. It is very nice and pretty. Can we come back to the park tomorrow?"
+
+Tom said, "Yes, we can. The oak tree will be here, waiting for us. And maybe the squirrel too."
+Tim and Mia like to play zoo. They have many toys of animals. They put them in boxes and pretend they are cages. They make signs with the names of the animals. They display them for their parents to see.
+
+One day, they find a new toy. It is a big lion. It has yellow fur and a long tail. It can roar and move its head. Tim and Mia are very happy. They want to show their parents their new toy.
+
+They make a big cage for the lion. They use a big cardboard box and cut out some holes. They put the lion inside and make a sign that says "Lion". They display it in the living room.
+
+They call their parents to come and see. Their parents are very surprised. They see the lion in the cage. They hear it roar. They think it is very realistic. They praise Tim and Mia for their successful zoo.
+
+Tim and Mia are very proud. They hug their parents and their lion. They love to play zoo. They have many toys of animals. They display them for their parents to see.
+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play outside in the snow. They wear warm coats and hats and gloves. They zip up their coats and go out the door.
+
+They see a big hill with lots of snow. They want to slide down the hill. They find a big sled and sit on it. They hold on tight and push with their feet. The sled goes fast down the hill. They feel the icy wind on their faces. They laugh and shout.
+
+But at the bottom of the hill, there is a fence. The sled does not stop. It goes under the fence and into the road. There are cars and trucks on the road. They are loud and scary. Anna and Ben are afraid. They want to escape.
+
+They jump off the sled and run back to the fence. They look for a hole to go through. They see one and crawl under it. They are safe on the other side. They hug each other and breathe hard.
+
+"Are you okay?" Anna asks Ben.
+
+"Yes, I'm okay. Are you okay?" Ben asks Anna.
+
+"Yes, I'm okay. That was scary!" Anna says.
+
+"Let's go back home. I don't like the road," Ben says.
+
+"Me too. Let's go," Anna says.
+
+They leave the sled behind and run back to their house. They zip down their coats and go inside. They tell their mom what happened. She is glad they are okay. She gives them hot chocolate and cookies. They feel warm and happy. They decide to play inside for the rest of the day.
+Tim and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. Tim had a big truck that was powerful and loud. Lily had a doll that was pretty and soft. Tim liked to make his truck zoom and crash into things. Lily liked to make her doll talk and dance.
+
+One day, Tim saw Lily's doll on the floor. He thought it would be fun to run over it with his truck. He drove his truck towards the doll and hit it hard. The doll's head came off and rolled away. Lily saw what Tim did and was very sad. She screamed and cried.
+
+"Mama, mama, Tim broke my doll!" she shouted.
+
+Mama heard Lily's scream and came to the living room. She saw the broken doll and the truck. She was angry and scolded Tim.
+
+"Tim, how could you do that? That was Lily's doll and you ruined it. You need to say sorry and share your toys. And no more crashing your truck into things. That is not nice."
+
+Tim felt bad and ashamed. He said sorry to Lily and gave her his truck to play with. He picked up the doll's head and tried to fix it. Mama helped him glue it back on. Lily stopped crying and hugged her doll. She thanked Tim and gave him a kiss. They decided to play together nicely. They made the truck and the doll go on a round trip around the house. They had fun and were happy.
+Mia liked to poke things. She poked her toys, her food, her mom and dad. She thought it was fun to see what would happen. Sometimes things would make a noise, or move, or break. But Mia did not care. She just wanted to poke.
+
+One day, Mia saw a dog in the park. The dog was big and brown and had a long tail. Mia wanted to poke the dog. She ran to the dog and reached out her hand. But the dog did not like to be poked. The dog growled and barked and showed his teeth. Mia was scared and ran away.
+
+Mia's mom saw what happened and came to Mia. She hugged Mia and said, "Mia, you should not poke the dog. The dog is delicate. He does not like to be poked. He might bite you. You could hurt him or yourself. You should be gentle and kind to the dog. Then he might be your friend."
+
+Mia felt sorry. She did not want to hurt the dog or herself. She wanted to be gentle and kind. She looked at the dog and said, "I'm sorry, dog. I did not mean to poke you. Can we be friends?"

+Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump on the grass. They saw a big bird with white feathers and a long neck. It was a swan.
+
+"Wow, look at the swan!" Lily said. "It is so graceful. It moves like a dancer on the water."
+
+"I want to touch it!" Ben said. He ran towards the swan. He did not see the sign that said "Do not feed or disturb the swans".
+
+The swan did not like Ben. It hissed and flapped its wings. It bit Ben's hand. Ben cried out in pain.
+
+"Ben, are you okay?" Lily asked. She ran to help him.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Ben said. "The swan is mean. It hurt me."
+
+Lily looked at the sign. She read it to Ben. "Do not feed or disturb the swans. They are wild animals. They need their space."
+
+Ben felt sorry. He did not know that. He did not mean to bother the swan.
+
+"I'm sorry, swan," Ben said. "I did not want to make you angry. I just wanted to say hello."
+
+The swan looked at Ben. It did not reply. It swam away.
+
+Lily hugged Ben. She gave him a band-aid for his hand.
+
+"Next time, we should be more careful," Lily said. "We should respect the animals and their homes. They are not toys. They have feelings too."
+
+Ben nodded. He learned his lesson. He thanked Lily for being a good friend. They went back to playing on the grass. They watched the swan from a distance. They admired its graceful beauty.
+Sara loves her toy bunny. She hugs it every night when she sleeps. But one day, her bunny stops making noises. Sara tries to press its paw, but nothing happens. She feels sad and scared. Why is her bunny so quiet?
+
+She runs to her mom and shows her the bunny. Mom looks at it and smiles. She says, "Don't worry, Sara. Your bunny is not broken. It just needs a new battery. A battery is something that makes your bunny talk. Sometimes, a battery gets empty and needs to be changed."
+
+Mom takes Sara to the kitchen and opens a drawer. She takes out a small thing that looks like a metal stick. She says, "This is a battery. It has power inside. We need to put a new battery in your bunny, so it can have power too." She flips the bunny over and opens a small door on its back. She takes out the old battery and puts in the new one. She closes the door and flips the bunny over again.
+
+She gives the bunny back to Sara and says, "Now, try to press its paw." Sara does as mom says and presses the bunny's paw. She hears a familiar sound. "I love you, Sara," the bunny says. Sara feels happy and relieved. She hugs the bunny and says, "I love you too, bunny. Thank you, mom." Mom hugs Sara and the bunny and says, "You're welcome, Sara. I'm glad your bunny is talking again. Now, let's go to your room and read a story. How about that?" Sara nods and smiles. She follows mom to her room, holding her bunny close. She feels comforted by mom and the bunny. She knows they love her and will always be there for her.
+Sara loved to visit her grandma at the ranch. Grandma was elderly, but she was very kind and fun. She had many animals, like cows, horses, chickens and dogs. Sara liked to feed them and pet them.
+
+One day, Sara and grandma decided to bake a cake. They went to the kitchen and put flour, sugar, eggs, butter and milk in a big bowl. They mixed everything with a spoon and poured it into a pan. Then they put the pan in the oven and waited.
+
+"Grandma, can I lick the spoon?" Sara asked.
+
+"Of course, dear. But be careful, it might be sticky," grandma said.
+
+Sara licked the spoon and smiled. It was sweet and yummy. She gave grandma a hug and said, "Thank you, grandma. I love you."
+
+"I love you too, Sara. You are my sweetie pie," grandma said.
+
+They sat on the couch and read a book while the cake was baking. They smelled the cake and it made them hungry. When the cake was ready, they took it out of the oven and let it cool. Then they cut a slice for each of them and ate it with some cream. It was the best cake ever. Sara and grandma were very happy. They had a wonderful day at the ranch.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make yummy food with pots and pans. Lily saw a big red knob on the wall. She wondered what it did.
+
+"Ben, look at this knob!" she said. "Let's turn it and see what happens."
+
+Ben shook his head. "No, Lily, that's a bad idea. Mommy said we can't touch that knob. It's for the fire alarm. It makes a loud noise and brings the firemen."
+
+Lily didn't listen. She felt an urge to turn the knob. She thought it would be fun and exciting. She reached for the knob and twisted it.
+
+BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
+
+The fire alarm went off. It was very loud and scary. Lily and Ben covered their ears and cried. Mommy came running into the kitchen. She saw the knob and the kids.
+
+"What did you do?" she asked. "Why did you turn the knob?"
+
+Lily tried to explain. "I was curious. I wanted to see what it did. I'm sorry, Mommy."
+
+Mommy was angry and worried. She turned off the alarm and hugged the kids. "Lily, that was very rude and dangerous. You could have caused a lot of trouble. You have to listen to me and Ben. You can't touch things you don't know. Do you understand?"
+
+Lily nodded. She felt bad. She said sorry to Mommy and Ben. She learned her lesson. She never touched the knob again.
+Sam likes to ride his bike. He has a red bike with a bell and a flag. The flag is blue and white and has a star on it. Sam's bike is reliable. It never breaks or falls.
+
+One day, Sam rides his bike to the park. He sees his friend Mia. Mia has a pink bike with a basket and a flag. The flag is yellow and green and has a flower on it. Mia's bike is not reliable. It sometimes squeaks or wobbles.

+
+"Hi, Mia!" Sam says. "Yes, I want to play with you. What do you want to play?"
+
+"Let's play race!" Mia says. "We can ride our bikes around the park and see who is faster. The first one to reach the big tree is the winner."

+
+"Ouch!" Mia says. "My bike is broken. My flag is gone. I lost the race."
+
+Sam hears Mia. He stops his bike. He turns around. He sees Mia on the ground. He feels sorry for her. He does not care about the race. He cares about his friend.
+
+"Are you OK, Mia?" Sam says. He rides his bike to her. He helps her get up. He picks up her flag. He gives it to her.
+
+"I'm OK, Sam," Mia says. "Thank you for helping me. You are a good friend. You have a reliable bike. You won the race."
+
+Sam smiles. He hugs Mia. He says, "You are welcome, Mia. You are a good friend too. You have a pretty bike. You have a nice flag. The race does not matter. What matters is that we have fun."
+
+Mia smiles. She hugs Sam. She says, "You are right, Sam. The race does not matter. What matters is that we have fun. And we have each other."
+
+Sam and Mia hold their flags. They ride their bikes together. They go to the swings. They have more fun. They are happy.
+Tom and Anna were friends who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big hole under a tree. They wondered what was inside.
+
+"Let's go and look," Tom said. "Maybe we can find something fun."
+
+"OK, but be careful," Anna said. "It looks dark and scary."
+
+They crawled into the hole and saw a tunnel that went deeper and deeper. They followed the tunnel until they reached a big room. There, they saw a lot of shiny things.
+
+"Wow, look at all the gold!" Tom said. "It's so bright and pretty. Can we take some?"
+
+"I don't know," Anna said. "Maybe it belongs to someone else. Maybe it's a trap."
+
+Just then, they heard a loud roar. A big dragon came out of another tunnel. It had red scales, yellow eyes, and sharp teeth. It saw Tom and Anna and was very angry.
+
+"Who are you?" the dragon said. "Why are you in my home? This is my gold. I provide it for myself. You are thieves. Go away or I will eat you."
+
+Tom and Anna were very scared. They dropped the gold they had picked up and ran back to the hole. They crawled out as fast as they could and ran to the park.
+
+"Let's never go there again," Anna said. "That was too dangerous."
+
+"I agree," Tom said. "That was not fun at all. Let's play on the swings instead."
+
+They played on the swings and forgot about the dragon and the gold. They were happy to be safe and together.
+Anna loves ponies. She has a blue pony toy that she plays with every day. She calls her pony Bluey and gives her hugs and carrots. One day, Anna cannot find Bluey in her room. She feels sad and scared. Where is Bluey?
+
+She asks her mom, "Mom, where is Bluey? I want to play with her."
+

+

+
+Tom says, "Oh, Bluey? I saw her this morning. She was in the trash can. I threw her away. She was old and dirty and broken. You don't need her. You have other toys."

+
+Anna tells Mom what Tom did. Mom is shocked and angry. She says to Tom, "Tom, how could you do that? Bluey was Anna's favorite toy. You had no right to throw her away. You hurt your sister's feelings. You owe her an apology."
+
+Tom says, "I'm sorry, Anna. I didn't know you loved Bluey so much. I thought she was just a toy. I was wrong. Please forgive me."
+
+Anna says, "No, I don't forgive you. You are a bad brother. You ruined my day. You ruined my life. I want Bluey back. I want Bluey back!"

+
+Anna says, "No, I don't accept that. I don't calm down. I want Bluey back. I want Bluey back!"

+"Yes, please," her doll said in a high voice. Lily smiled and went to the kitchen to get a cup and a plate.
+
+But on the way, she did not see the cable that was on the floor. It was from the TV that her dad was watching. She stumbled on the cable and fell down. She dropped the cup and the plate and they broke. She also hurt her knee and it started to bleed.

+
+Lily felt more scared and sad. She did not mean to do anything bad. She just wanted to play with her doll.
+
+"I'm sorry, dad," she said. "I did not see the cable. I was playing with my doll. She is a princess and I am her friend."
+
+Her dad sighed and calmed down. He saw that Lily was not lying and that she was hurt. He picked her up and hugged her.
+
+"I'm sorry too, Lily," he said. "I should not have shouted at you. I was worried about you and the TV. But you are more important than the TV. And the cup and the plate are not very expensive. We can buy new ones. But you have to be more careful next time. The cable is dangerous. It can make you fall and hurt yourself. And it can make the TV stop working. Do you understand?"
+
+Lily nodded and hugged her dad back.
+
+"Yes, dad," she said. "I understand. I will be more careful next time. And I will say sorry to the princess too. She must be lonely in the castle."
+
+Her dad smiled and kissed her.
+
+"That's a good girl," he said. "Now let's go and clean your knee and put a band-aid on it. And then we can have tea with the princess together. How does that sound?"
+
+Lily smiled and nodded.
+
+"That sounds good, dad," she said. "Thank you. I love you."
+

+
+"Stop it!" Lily shouted. She pulled the crayon back. She made a big mark on the paper. It was not a nice mark. It was a mean mark.

+

+
+"Can I try it?" Ben asks. He swings the whip in the air. It makes a loud noise. SNAP!

+
+The rabbit nodded his head and smiled. He said.
+
+"Thank you, little girl, you are very nice and friendly. I promise I will not eat any more of your plants. And I will help you with your garden. I can dig holes and pull weeds and scare away the crows. Can we be friends?"

+The purple cat is very funny. He likes to play and sing. He has many friends. One day, he sees a butterfly. The butterfly is yellow and blue. The purple cat wants to catch the butterfly. He jumps and runs after the butterfly. He springs from the grass to the tree. He springs from the tree to the fence. He springs from the fence to the roof. He is very fast and agile.
+
+"Look, mom, the purple cat is springing!" Sara says. She laughs and claps her hands.
+
+"Yes, he is, Sara. He is very good at springing," mom says. She smiles and hugs Sara.
+
+But the butterfly is smarter than the purple cat. The butterfly flies away from the roof. The purple cat tries to follow the butterfly. He springs from the roof to the air. But he misses the butterfly. He falls down to the ground. He lands on a pile of leaves. He is not hurt, but he is sad.
+
+"Uh-oh, the purple cat fell down," Sara says. She makes a sad face.
+
+"Don't worry, Sara. The purple cat is okay," mom says. She turns the page and shows Sara the next picture.
+
+The next picture shows the purple cat with his friends. They are all happy and smiling. They help the purple cat to get up. They give him a hug and a kiss. They tell him that he is brave and clever. They invite him to play and sing with them. The purple cat forgets about the butterfly. He is happy with his friends.
+
+"Look, mom, the purple cat is happy again," Sara says. She makes a happy face.
+
+"Yes, he is, Sara. He has good friends who love him," mom says. She kisses Sara and says, "And you have a good mom who loves you."
+
+"I love you, mom," Sara says. She cuddles with mom and the book.
+
+The end.
+Sara and Ben are playing with their toys in the living room. Sara has a doll and Ben has a car. They are having fun making noises and moving their toys around.
+
+"Look, Sara, my car can go fast!" Ben says, pushing his car on the floor.
+
+"That's nice, Ben, but my doll can do something better," Sara says, holding her doll up. "She can display her thumb!"
+
+Sara shows Ben how her doll can bend her hand and stick out her thumb. She makes the doll say, "I like my thumb. It is useful. I can suck it when I am sad or sleepy."
+
+Ben is curious. He looks at his own hand and tries to bend it like the doll. He can do it too. He sticks out his thumb and says, "I have a thumb too. What can I do with it?"
+
+Sara thinks for a moment. She says, "You can do many things with your thumb. You can point at things you want. You can press buttons. You can thumb up when you are happy."
+
+Ben nods. He likes his thumb. He says, "You are right, Sara. Our thumbs are useful. And they are also fun. We can play a game with them."
+
+Sara smiles. She says, "What game?"
+
+Ben says, "The thumb war game. We hold our hands together and try to catch each other's thumb. The one who catches the most thumbs wins."
+
+Sara likes the idea. She says, "OK, let's play. One, two, three, four, I declare a thumb war!"
+
+They hold their hands together and start to play. They giggle and wiggle their thumbs. They have a lot of fun with their thumbs.
+Tim and Sue are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a cart. They put their toys in the cart. They push the cart around the grass.
+
+One day, they see a big dog. The dog is playful. It runs to them and barks. Tim and Sue are scared. They hug each other. They want the dog to go away.
+
+The dog does not go away. It wants to play with the cart. It jumps on the cart and bites the toys. It breaks the toys. Tim and Sue cry. They are sad. They love their toys.
+
+The dog's owner comes. He sees the dog and the cart. He is angry. He shouts at the dog. He shouts at Tim and Sue. He says they are bad. He says they have to pay for the toys.
+
+Tim and Sue do not have money. They do not know what to do. They are sorry. They are afraid. They wish they never saw the dog. They wish they never played with the cart.
+Lily liked to sell things. She had a small table in her garden. She put things on the table that she did not want. She made signs with paper and crayon. The signs said how much the things cost.
+
+One day, she found a pink hat in her closet. It was too small for her. She thought someone else might like it. She put it on the table and made a sign. The sign said "Pink hat, one coin".
+
+A boy came by. He saw the pink hat. He liked it. He had a coin in his pocket. He gave the coin to Lily and took the hat. He put it on his head. He said "Thank you, Lily. I like your pink hat. It is very pretty".
+
+Lily smiled. She was happy. She said "You are welcome, boy. I am glad you like it. You are very clever. You can have this sticker too". She gave him a sticker with a star on it. He stuck it on his hat.
+
+They both waved goodbye. Lily counted her coins. She had two coins now. She wondered what she could buy with them. She looked around her garden. She saw more things she could sell. She was a good seller. She liked to sell things.
+Lily and Max were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They gave him a carrot nose and two rocks for eyes. They were very happy with their snowman.
+
+But then, a big boy came. He was very bossy. He said, "This is my snowman. You have to go away." He pushed Lily and Max and tried to take their hat and scarf. Lily and Max were very sad and scared.
+
+They ran to their house and told their mom. Their mom was very angry. She went outside and yelled at the big boy. She said, "This is not your snowman. This is Lily and Max's snowman. You have to be nice and share. If you are not nice, you will get no presents from Santa."
+
+The big boy was very surprised. He looked at the chimney on the roof. He wondered if Santa was watching. He felt very sorry. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily and Max. I was very bossy. Can I play with you and your snowman?"
+
+Lily and Max smiled. They said, "Yes, you can play with us and our snowman. But you have to be nice and share." They gave him a snowball and a stick. They made a snowdog with him. They had fun in the snow.
+Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a well in the park. The well is deep and dark.
+
+"Let's tie a rope to the well and go down," Tom says. He has a rope in his bag.
+
+"No, Tom, that is not a good idea," Sam says. He is serious. "The well is dangerous. We can fall and get hurt."
+
+But Tom does not listen to Sam. He ties the rope to the well and climbs down. He wants to see what is in the well.
+
+"Tom, come back!" Sam shouts. He is scared for Tom.
+
+But Tom does not hear Sam. He goes deeper and deeper into the well. He sees nothing but black. He feels cold and wet. He is sorry he did not listen to Sam.
+
+"Help! Help!" Tom cries. He wants to go back to the park. He wants to see Sam. He wants to play.
+
+But no one hears Tom. He is alone in the well. He is sad and afraid. He wishes he had a friend.
+Tim and Sam were best friends. They liked to play in the park every day. They liked to swing, slide and run. They also liked to wave at the people who walked by. They waved at the old lady with the dog, the man with the bike and the kids with the ball.
+
+One day, they saw a new person in the park. He wore a uniform. It was green and brown and had a big hat. He had a big bag on his back and a big gun in his hand. He looked very hot and tired. Tim and Sam were curious. They wanted to know who he was and what he was doing.
+
+They ran to him and said hello. The man smiled and said hello back. He told them he was a soldier. He said he came from far away to help the people here. He said he was looking for a place to rest and drink some water. He said he was very happy to see them.
+
+Tim and Sam liked the soldier. They wanted to help him. They asked him if he wanted to play with them. The soldier said he would love to, but he had to go soon. He said he had a very important job to do. He said he had to protect the people from the bad guys. He said he had to be brave and strong.
+
+Tim and Sam wanted to be brave and strong too. They asked him if they could wear his hat and hold his gun. The soldier said no. He said his hat and his gun were not toys. He said they were very dangerous and could hurt them. He said they should never touch them. He said they should only play with safe things.
+
+Tim and Sam were sad. They did not understand why the soldier said no. They thought he was mean and did not want to share. They decided to wait until he was asleep and then take his hat and his gun. They thought it would be fun to pretend to be soldiers. They thought they would look cool and make the soldier proud.
+
+They waited until the soldier lay down under a tree and closed his eyes. They crept up to him and reached for his hat and his gun. But as soon as they touched them, the soldier woke up. He saw them and shouted. He was very angry and scared. He grabbed his hat and his gun and pushed them away. He told them they were very naughty and foolish. He told them they could have hurt themselves or him or someone else. He told them they had to listen to him and respect his things. He told them they had to say sorry and promise to never do it again.
+
+Tim and Sam were very sorry and scared. They realized they had made a big mistake. They apologized to the soldier and promised to never do it again. They asked him to forgive them and be their friend. The soldier forgave them and hugged them. He told them he was still their friend. He told them he understood they were curious and wanted to have fun. He told them he was proud of them for saying sorry and learning their lesson. He told them they were brave and strong in their own way.
+
+He also told them he had a surprise for them. He opened his bag and took out two small flags. They were the same color as his uniform. He gave one to Tim and one to Sam. He told them they were his gifts to them. He told them they were symbols of friendship and peace. He told them they could wave them whenever they wanted to remember him and his country. He told them he had to go now, but he would always think of them.
+
+Tim and Sam thanked the soldier and waved their flags. They told him they would always think of him and his country too. They told him they hoped he would be safe and happy. They told him they hoped he would come back to the park someday. They told him they loved him.
+
+The soldier smiled and waved back. He told them he loved them too. He put on his hat and his gun and walked away. Tim and Sam watched him until he disappeared. Then they ran to the swing, the slide and the run. They played with their flags and their friends. They waved at the people who walked by. They waved at the old lady with the dog, the man with the bike and the kids with the ball. They also waved at the sky, where they imagined the soldier was flying. They were happy and grateful. They learned to be careful and respectful. They learned to be kind and peaceful. They learned to be friends.
+Lily and Tom were helping Mom with the shopping. They had many bags to carry from the car to the house. Mom said, "Thank you, my helpers. You are very good."
+
+They put the bags on the floor in the kitchen. Mom opened one bag and took out a big box. It had a picture of a cake on it. "Look, this is for your birthday, Lily. Do you like it?" Mom asked.
+
+Lily smiled and clapped her hands. "Yes, Mom, I like it. It is a pink cake. Can I have some now?"
+
+Mom laughed and said, "No, not now, Lily. We have to put it in the fridge first. It is too hot outside. The cake will melt if we leave it here. Can you help me load it in the fridge?"
+
+Lily nodded and said, "Yes, Mom, I can help. Come on, Tom, let's load the cake in the fridge." She took one end of the box and Tom took the other. They walked slowly to the fridge and opened the door.
+
+The fridge was very cold and clear. They could see many things inside. There were eggs, milk, cheese, fruit, and juice. They made some space for the cake and slid the box in. They closed the door and looked at each other. They were proud of their work.
+
+"Good job, Lily and Tom. You loaded the cake in the fridge very well. Now it will stay fresh and yummy for your party tomorrow. Do you want a hug?" Mom said.
+
+Lily and Tom ran to Mom and hugged her. They said, "Thank you, Mom. We love you. And we love the cake."
+Anna and Ben were playing in the park. They had a basket full of toys and snacks. They liked to swing, slide and run on the grass.
+
+"Look, a squirrel!" Ben said, pointing to a tree. "It has a big tail and a nut in its mouth."
+
+"Let's follow it!" Anna said, excited. "Maybe it will show us its home."
+
+They left their basket under a bench and ran after the squirrel. They followed it from tree to tree, but they did not see where it went.
+
+"Where is the squirrel?" Anna asked, looking around.
+
+"I don't know," Ben said, scratching his head. "Maybe it hid in a hole."
+
+They looked for the hole, but they could not find it. They also could not find the way back to their basket.
+
+"Ben, I'm hungry," Anna said, feeling her tummy. "And I want my teddy bear. It's in the basket."
+
+"Me too," Ben said, feeling his throat. "And I want my water bottle. It's in the basket too."
+
+They started to walk around, looking for the bench. But they only saw more trees and more squirrels. They did not see any people or swings or slides.
+
+"Ben, I'm scared," Anna said, holding his hand. "Where is our basket? Where is Mommy?"
+
+"Me too," Ben said, squeezing her hand. "I'm worried. What if we can't find our basket? What if Mommy can't find us?"
+
+They started to cry. They wished they had not followed the squirrel. They wished they had stayed with their basket.
+
+Then they heard a voice.
+
+"Anna! Ben! Where are you?"
+
+It was Mommy. She had been looking for them. She had seen their basket under the bench, but she had not seen them.
+
+"Mommy!" Anna and Ben shouted, running to her. "We're here! We're here!"
+
+They hugged Mommy and told her what had happened. They told her about the squirrel and the trees and the hole and the basket.
+
+Mommy listened and smiled. She was not angry. She was happy to see them.
+
+"I'm glad you're safe," she said, kissing them. "But next time, don't leave your basket. And don't follow squirrels. They are fast and tricky. They can lead you to trouble."
+
+"OK, Mommy," Anna and Ben said, nodding. "We're sorry. We won't do it again."
+
+Mommy took their hands and led them to their basket. They picked up their toys and snacks and water bottles. They were hungry and thirsty and tired.
+
+They said goodbye to the park and the squirrels. They returned to their car and drove home. They were happy to be with Mommy. They were happy to have their basket.
+Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with a ball in the park. They kick the ball to each other and run after it. Sometimes they kick the ball very high and it goes over the fence. Then they have to ask someone to get it for them.
+
+One day, it is very hot. The sun is bright and the air is warm. Tom and Sam are thirsty and tired. They want to drink some water and sit in the shade. But they do not want to stop playing with the ball. They kick the ball harder and faster. They think it is fun.
+
+But then something incredible happens. They kick the ball so hard that it flies up in the sky. It goes higher and higher. It does not come down. It goes behind the clouds. Tom and Sam cannot see it anymore. They are amazed. They wonder where the ball went. They look at each other and laugh. They decide to go and drink some water and sit in the shade. They hope the ball will come back someday. They think it is a very special ball.
+Tommy liked to play with his dog, Rex. Rex was big and furry and liked to run and jump. Tommy and Rex were best friends. They always listened to Mommy and Daddy and were obedient.
+
+One day, Tommy and Rex went to the park with Mommy. They saw many other dogs and people there. Tommy wanted to pet the other dogs, but Mommy said no. She said some dogs might not be friendly and might bite. Tommy was sad, but he obeyed Mommy.
+
+But then, he saw a small dog that looked cute and fluffy. He thought it was like a toy. He ran to the dog and tried to hug it. But the dog did not like that. It growled and bit Tommy's hand. Tommy screamed and cried. Mommy ran to him and saw the blood. She was scared and angry. She picked up Tommy and took him to the hospital.
+
+At the hospital, the doctor looked at Tommy's hand. He said it was not too bad, but he had to clean it and put a bandage on it. He also gave Tommy a shot to prevent infection. Tommy did not like the shot. It hurt. He cried some more. Mommy hugged him and said sorry. She said he was brave and good.
+
+Rex was waiting outside the hospital with Daddy. He was worried about Tommy. He licked Tommy's face when he saw him. Tommy smiled and hugged Rex. He said he loved him. He said he was sorry for leaving him. He said he learned his lesson. He said he would never pet a strange dog again. He said he would always be obedient. Mommy and Daddy nodded and smiled. They said they were proud of him. They said they loved him and Rex. They went home together.

+
+One day, mom is busy in the kitchen and Anna sees the phone on the table. It has a long cord that goes to the wall. Anna thinks the cord is beautiful. It is shiny and curly. She wants to touch it and pull it. She reaches for the phone and the cord.
+
+But then, the phone rings. Anna hears a voice say "Hello, hello, is anyone there?" Anna is curious. She picks up the phone and puts it to her ear. She says "Hi, I'm Anna. Who are you?"

+
+Mom is surprised. She sees Anna holding the phone and the cord. She says "Anna, you answered the phone? You shouldn't do that. It's not safe. You could get hurt by the cord."
+
+Anna feels sad. She says "I'm sorry, mom. I just wanted to say hi to grandma. She loves me."
+
+Mom smiles. She says "I know, Anna. I love you too. And I'm glad you talked to grandma. But next time, please ask me first before you answer the phone. OK?"

+
+One morning, Lily and Ben were very hungry. They ran to the kitchen and saw Mom take out two waffles from the iron. They smelled so good!
+
+"Can we have waffles, Mom?" they asked.
+
+"Of course, my sweeties. But be careful, they are very hot. You have to wait a little bit before you eat them." Mom said.
+
+She put the waffles on two plates and gave them to Lily and Ben. She also gave them some butter and syrup to put on top.
+
+Lily and Ben were so excited. They wanted to eat their waffles right away. They did not listen to Mom. They took big bites of their waffles.
+
+"Ow! Ow! Ow!" they cried. They burned their mouths. The waffles were too hot.
+
+Mom heard them and came to see what was wrong. She saw them holding their mouths and tears in their eyes.
+
+"Oh, no! You did not wait for the waffles to cool down, did you?" she asked.
+
+"No, Mom. We were too hungry. We wanted to speed and eat them fast." Lily and Ben said.
+
+Mom hugged them and gave them some cold water to drink. She said, "I know you love waffles, but you have to be patient. If you eat them too fast, you will hurt yourself. Next time, wait for them to cool down a little bit, okay?"
+
+"Okay, Mom. We are sorry. We will wait next time." Lily and Ben said.
+
+They drank their water and felt better. Then they ate their waffles slowly and carefully. They were still yummy and sweet. They thanked Mom for making them waffles. Mom smiled and kissed them. She was happy they learned their lesson.

+Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play with cars and balls. But they do not like to eat spicy food. Mom makes spicy soup for lunch. She says it is good for them.
+
+"Please eat your soup, Tom and Sam. It will make you strong and healthy," Mom says.
+
+Tom and Sam look at the soup. They see red peppers and green herbs. They smell hot and sharp. They shake their heads.
+
+"No, Mom. We do not want spicy soup. It will hurt our mouths and tummies. We want bread and cheese," Tom says.
+
+"Me too," Sam says.
+
+Mom is sad. She worked hard to make the soup. She knows it is good for them. She tries to explain.
+
+"Spicy soup is not bad for you. It has many vitamins and minerals. It will help you fight germs and colds. It will also make your taste buds happy. Bread and cheese are good too, but you need to try new things sometimes. You might like them if you give them a chance," Mom says.
+
+Tom and Sam still refuse. They cross their arms and pout. They do not want to try new things. They only want bread and cheese.
+
+Mom sighs. She does not want to force them. She wants them to learn. She has an idea.
+
+"Okay, Tom and Sam. You do not have to eat the soup. But you have to do something else for me. You have to rub my feet. They are very tired and sore from cooking and cleaning. If you rub my feet, I will give you bread and cheese," Mom says.
+
+Tom and Sam look at Mom's feet. They see dirt and cracks. They smell sweaty and sour. They make faces.
+
+"Ew, Mom. We do not want to rub your feet. They are gross and smelly. We want bread and cheese without rubbing your feet," Tom says.
+
+"Me too," Sam says.
+
+Mom smiles. She knows they do not like her feet. She wants them to see how it feels to refuse something good.
+
+"Sorry, Tom and Sam. You have to rub my feet if you want bread and cheese. It is a fair deal. You refused my soup, I refuse your bread and cheese. If you do not rub my feet, you will have nothing to eat," Mom says.
+
+Tom and Sam are hungry and angry. They do not want to rub Mom's feet. But they do not want to have nothing to eat. They do not know what to do.
+
+They look at each other. They look at the soup. They look at Mom's feet. They think hard.
+
+They decide to try the soup.
+
+They take a small spoonful. They blow on it. They put it in their mouths. They wait.
+
+They are surprised. The soup is not bad. It is not too hot or too sharp. It is warm and tasty. It makes their mouths and tummies happy. They want more.
+
+They eat the soup. They finish their bowls. They smile.
+
+"Mom, the soup is good. We like it. Thank you for making it," Tom says.
+
+"Me too," Sam says.
+
+Mom is happy. She hugs them. She gives them bread and cheese. She does not need them to rub her feet. She is proud of them.
+
+"You are welcome, Tom and Sam. I am glad you liked the soup. You did a good thing. You tried something new. You learned something new. You were brave and polite. That is the moral of the story," Mom says.
+
+The end.
+Ben and Lily were playing in the woods. They liked to pretend they were hunters and look for animals. They had a stick that they used to measure things. They measured trees, rocks, flowers and bugs.
+
+"Look, Ben, a cute bunny!" Lily said, pointing to a brown and white rabbit. "Let's measure it!"
+
+Ben nodded and they ran after the bunny. The bunny was scared and ran away. Ben and Lily followed it, but they did not see where they were going. They did not see the big hole in the ground.
+
+"Watch out, Ben!" Lily shouted, but it was too late. Ben fell into the hole. He screamed and cried. Lily tried to help him, but the hole was too deep and dark. She could not reach him.
+
+"Ben, Ben, are you okay?" Lily called, but Ben did not answer. He was hurt and scared. Lily was scared too. She did not know what to do. She wanted to find help, but she did not know the way back. They were lost in the woods.
+
+The sun was setting and it was getting cold. Lily hugged herself and cried. She wished they had never chased the cute bunny. She wished they had stayed with their mom and dad. She wished they were not hunters. She wished they were home.
+Tom loved to play the piano. He liked to make loud and fast sounds with his fingers. He felt powerful when he played the piano. He did not like to share the piano with his sister, Lily. He always wanted to play by himself.
+
+One day, Lily asked Tom if she could play the piano too. Tom said no. He said the piano was his and he did not want to hear her silly songs. Lily felt sad and angry. She went to her room and cried.
+
+Tom played the piano for a long time. He did not care about Lily. He did not hear his mom calling him for dinner. He did not see the dark clouds outside. He did not notice the thunder and lightning.
+
+Suddenly, the power went out. The piano stopped making sounds. Tom was scared. He could not see anything. He could not play the piano. He wished he had listened to his mom. He wished he had been nice to his sister.
+
+He called for Lily. He said he was sorry. He said he wanted to share the piano with her. He said he wanted to hear her songs. He said he needed her help.
+
+Lily heard Tom. She felt sorry for him. She got a flashlight and went to find him. She hugged him and said it was okay. She said she forgave him. She said she loved him.
+
+They went to the kitchen and ate dinner with their mom. They told her what happened. She was glad they were safe. She was proud they learned to share and care. She said the piano was for both of them. She said they could play together and make beautiful sounds. She said they were powerful when they were kind.
+Lily and Tom were playing with their toys in the living room. Lily had a big doll and Tom had a small car. They liked to pretend that the doll and the car were friends and went on adventures together.
+
+One day, they found a strange bottle on the shelf. It had a label that said "Shrink". Lily was curious and wanted to see what it was. She opened the bottle and smelled it. It smelled sweet, like candy. She poured some of the liquid on her doll's head.
+
+"Oh no!" Tom shouted. "What did you do, Lily? Your doll is shrinking!"
+
+Lily looked at her doll and saw that it was getting smaller and smaller. Soon, it was the same size as Tom's car. Lily felt sad and scared. She wanted her big doll back.
+
+"I'm sorry, Tom. I didn't know it would shrink. How can we make it big again?" she asked.
+
+Tom thought for a moment. He looked at the bottle and saw that there was another label on the other side. It said "Grow". He had an idea.
+
+"Maybe we can use this to make your doll big again. But we have to be careful. We don't want to make it too big," he said.
+
+He took the bottle and poured some of the liquid on the doll's head. The doll started to grow again. Lily and Tom watched with wide eyes. The doll grew bigger and bigger, until it was bigger than Lily and Tom.
+
+"Wow!" Lily exclaimed. "Look at my doll! She's huge!"
+
+The doll looked down at Lily and Tom and smiled. She picked them up with her hands and hugged them.
+
+"Hello, my sweet friends. Thank you for making me big. I love you," she said.
+
+Lily and Tom were surprised and happy. They hugged the doll back and told her they loved her too. They decided to play with the doll and the car together, and have more fun adventures. They also learned to be careful with strange bottles.
+Tim and Tom were twins who liked to play with cars and trucks. One day, they found a big box in the garage. It had a picture of a robot on it. They opened the box and saw a shiny metal robot with wires and buttons.
+
+"Wow, this is cool!" Tim said. "Let's play with it!"
+
+"OK, but be careful," Tom said. "It looks like it needs an operation. See, there is a hole in its chest."
+
+They took the robot to their room and put it on the floor. They tried to make it move and talk, but nothing happened. They looked at the hole and saw a deep gap with a red light inside.
+
+"Maybe we need to send something in there," Tim said. He grabbed a small car and pushed it into the hole. The car got stuck and the red light blinked faster.
+
+"Oops, that was a bad idea," Tom said. "Now the robot is angry. Look, it is shaking and making noises."
+
+They heard a loud beep and saw sparks fly out of the robot. They got scared and ran out of the room. They heard a big boom and saw smoke coming from the door.
+
+They ran to their mom and told her what happened. She was very upset and took them to the garage. She showed them a note on the box. It said: "This is a special robot for dad. He needs it for his work. Do not touch it. It is very fragile and expensive. It has a deep operation inside. If you send anything in there, it will break."
+
+Tim and Tom felt very sorry and ashamed. They hugged their mom and said they were sorry. They learned a lesson. They learned to respect other people's things and not to play with what they do not understand.
+Sam and Mia liked to play in the park. They had a yellow ball that they kicked and threw to each other. Sometimes they shared the ball with other kids, but sometimes they wanted to keep it for themselves.
+
+Yesterday, they saw a big dog in the park. The dog had a long tail and a shiny collar. It looked friendly, but Sam and Mia were scared of dogs. They hid behind a tree and watched the dog run around.
+
+"Who does the dog belong to?" Sam asked.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe it is lost," Mia said.
+
+"Maybe we should help it find its home," Sam said.
+
+He picked up the yellow ball and threw it to the dog. The dog chased the ball and brought it back to Sam. It wagged its tail and licked Sam's hand.
+
+"See? It likes us. Maybe it wants to play with us," Sam said.
+
+He threw the ball again and the dog ran after it. Mia came out from behind the tree and joined Sam. They took turns throwing the ball and petting the dog.
+
+They had so much fun that they forgot about the time. They did not notice that the sun was setting and the park was getting dark. They did not hear the voice that was calling for the dog.
+
+"Rex! Rex! Where are you, boy?" the voice said.
+
+It was a man with a hat and a coat. He was looking for his dog. He had a leash in his hand. He was worried that his dog had run away.
+
+He walked around the park and saw the yellow ball. He followed the ball and found his dog. He also found Sam and Mia.
+
+"Hello, kids. Have you seen my dog?" he asked.
+
+Sam and Mia looked at the dog and then at the man. They realized that the dog was not lost. It had a owner.
+
+"Yes, sir. We have. He was playing with us. He is very nice," Sam said.
+
+"Thank you for taking care of him. He is very friendly, but he likes to wander off sometimes. He is a good leader, but not a good follower," the man said.
+
+He took the leash and put it on the dog's collar. He smiled at Sam and Mia and gave them the yellow ball.
+
+"Here, you can keep this. It is his favorite toy. He wants you to have it. Maybe you can play with him again sometime," he said.
+
+Sam and Mia thanked the man and said goodbye to the dog. They watched him lead the dog away. They felt happy and sad at the same time.
+
+They hugged the yellow ball and walked home. They had a new friend and a new toy. They had a good story to tell. They had a good yesterday.
+Lily and Ben were playing hide and seek in the park. Lily was the seeker and Ben was the hider. Lily counted to ten and then opened her eyes. She looked around and saw a big tree. She thought Ben might be hiding behind it. She ran to the tree and shouted, "Guess who I found!"
+
+But when she got to the tree, there was no Ben. There was only a small cat. The cat meowed and rubbed against Lily's leg. Lily liked the cat. She picked it up and hugged it. She said, "You are not Ben, but you are very cute. What is your name?"
+
+The cat did not answer. It just purred and licked Lily's face. Lily decided to call the cat Fluffy. She said, "Do you want to play with me, Fluffy? I can be your friend."
+
+The cat nodded and snuggled in Lily's arms. Lily was happy. She forgot about Ben and the game. She walked around the park with Fluffy, looking at the flowers and the birds. She did not notice that the sun was setting and the sky was getting dark.
+
+Ben was still hiding. He had found a good spot under a bench. He waited and waited for Lily to find him. He wondered why she was taking so long. He started to feel bored and cold. He peeked out from under the bench and saw that the park was empty. He did not see Lily or anyone else. He felt scared and alone. He said, "Where is Lily? Where is everyone? I want to go home."
+
+He got out from under the bench and ran to the gate. He hoped to see his mom or dad waiting for him. But there was no one there. He did not know what to do. He did not know how to get home. He started to cry. He said, "I'm lost. I'm lost. Help me, please."
+
+Just then, he heard a familiar voice. It was Lily. She had seen Ben from across the street. She had realized that she had left him behind. She felt ashamed and sorry. She ran to Ben and said, "Ben, Ben, I'm here. I'm so sorry. I forgot about you. I found a cat and I played with it. I was silly and bad. Please forgive me."
+
+Ben saw Lily and stopped crying. He was angry and hurt, but he was also glad to see her. He said, "Lily, you made me scared. You left me alone. You were not a good friend. Why did you do that?"
+
+Lily hugged Ben and said, "I know, I know. I was wrong. I'm sorry. I love you, Ben. You are my best friend. Can we still be friends?"
+
+Ben looked at Lily and saw that she was sincere. He also saw the cat in her arms. He said, "Who is that?"
+
+Lily said, "This is Fluffy. He is the cat I found. He is very nice. Do you want to meet him?"
+
+Ben nodded. He was curious about the cat. He said, "OK. Let me see him."
+
+Lily gave Fluffy to Ben. Ben petted Fluffy and said, "Hello, Fluffy. You are soft and warm. You are a good cat."
+
+Fluffy meowed and licked Ben's nose. Ben smiled and said, "I like you, Fluffy. You are a good cat."
+
+Lily smiled and said, "I'm glad you like him, Ben. Can we share him? Can he be our friend?"
+
+Ben said, "Yes, yes. We can share him. He can be our friend."
+
+Lily said, "Good. Then let's go home. It's getting late. Mom and dad must be worried. Maybe they will let us keep Fluffy. What do you think?"
+
+Ben said, "I hope so. I hope they will let us keep Fluffy. He is a good cat."
+
+Lily said, "Me too. Me too. He is a good cat."
+
+They held hands and walked to the street. They saw their mom and dad waiting for them. They ran to them and said, "Mom, dad, we're sorry. We're sorry. We lost track of time. We found a cat. His name is Fluffy. He is a good cat. Can we keep him? Please, please, please."
+
+Mom and dad looked at Lily and Ben. They looked at Fluffy. They saw that Lily and Ben were happy and sorry. They saw that Fluffy was cute and friendly. They said, "Well, well, well. You two have been very naughty. You made us worried. You should not have left each other. You should have come home sooner. But we can see that you love each other and you love
+Sara and Ben live on a farm with their mama and papa. They have many animals, like cows, pigs, chickens and a mule. The mule is big and brown and has long ears. His name is Max.
+
+One day, Sara and Ben want to help mama make a cake. Mama says they can stir the batter in a big bowl. Sara and Ben take turns to stir with a wooden spoon. They stir and stir until the batter is smooth and creamy. They are very happy.
+
+But Max is very hungry. He smells the cake batter from outside. He thinks it is yummy. He sneaks into the kitchen when mama is not looking. He sees the bowl on the table. He reaches his long neck and licks the batter with his big tongue.
+
+Sara and Ben hear a noise. They turn around and see Max eating their cake batter. They are very angry. They shout at Max and try to pull him away. But Max is stubborn. He does not want to stop. He kicks and brays and makes a big mess.
+
+Mama hears the commotion and comes back to the kitchen. She sees Max and the children and the batter all over the floor. She is very surprised. She scolds Max and tells him to go back to his barn. She hugs Sara and Ben and tells them not to worry. She says they can make another cake together. Sara and Ben smile and hug mama back. They love mama and they love cake. But they do not love Max very much.
+Lily loved to watch cartoons on TV. She liked the funny animals and the songs they sang. Her favorite cartoon was about a dog named Spot who was loyal to his friends. Spot always helped them when they were in trouble.
+
+One day, Lily saw a big box in the living room. It was from her grandma, who lived far away. Lily was curious and wanted to see what was inside. She asked her mom if she could open it. Her mom said yes, but she had to be careful.
+
+Lily opened the box and saw a big surprise. It was a stuffed toy of Spot, the loyal dog from her cartoon. Lily was so happy. She hugged the toy and thanked her grandma. She wanted to play with Spot right away.
+
+She took Spot to her room and showed him her toys. She had a lot of dolls and cars and books. She tried to fit Spot in her dollhouse, but he was too big. She tried to fit Spot in her car, but he was too wide. She tried to fit Spot in her bookshelf, but he was too tall. Lily was sad. She wanted to find a place for Spot to play.
+
+Then she had an idea. She took Spot to her bed and made a cozy spot for him. She put a blanket and a pillow and a teddy bear. She said to Spot, "This is your new home. You can sleep here with me every night. You are my loyal friend, just like in the cartoon." Spot smiled and wagged his tail. He was happy. He fit in Lily's bed perfectly. Lily and Spot cuddled and watched cartoons on TV. They were the best friends ever.
+Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a pool in the park. The pool is big and blue. It has water and fish.
+
+"Let's go to the pool!" Sara says. "We can swim and see the fish."
+
+Ben nods. He likes to swim and see the fish. They run to the pool. They take off their shoes and socks. They put their feet in the water. The water is cold and wet.
+
+"Look, there is a thin bridge over the pool!" Sara says. "We can walk on the bridge and see the fish better."
+
+Ben looks at the bridge. The bridge is thin and old. It has holes and cracks. He is scared.
+
+"I don't want to walk on the bridge," Ben says. "The bridge is thin and old. It can break and we can fall in the water."
+
+Sara laughs. She is not scared. She thinks Ben is silly.
+
+"Don't be silly," Sara says. "The bridge is fine. It will not break. Come on, it will be fun."
+
+She walks on the bridge. She is careful. She does not step on the holes and cracks. She stands on the middle of the bridge. She looks down at the water and the fish.
+
+"See, Ben, it is fun!" Sara says. "Come and join me!"
+
+Ben shakes his head. He does not want to join Sara. He stays on the edge of the pool. He watches Sara.
+
+Sara smiles. She wants to show Ben that she is brave. She jumps on the bridge. She jumps up and down. She makes noise.
+
+"Look, Ben, I can jump on the bridge!" Sara says. "It is fun!"
+
+Ben gasps. He is worried. He sees the bridge shake and bend. He hears the bridge creak and crack.
+
+"Sara, stop!" Ben says. "The bridge is thin and old. It will break and you will fall in the water!"
+
+Sara does not stop. She does not listen to Ben. She thinks Ben is silly. She jumps more and more. She makes more and more noise.
+
+"Look, Ben, I can jump higher and higher!" Sara says. "It is fun!"
+
+Then, the bridge breaks. Sara falls in the water. She screams. She is scared. She cannot swim. She sinks in the water. She cannot see the fish. She cannot breathe.
+
+Ben cries. He is sad. He cannot help Sara. He runs to get help. He hopes Sara is okay.
+
+The moral of the story is: Do not be foolish and ignore your friends' warnings. Do not do dangerous things that can hurt you. Listen to your friends and be careful.
+Lila and her dad were going to the park. They had to take a taxi, because their car was broken. Lila liked taxis, because they were yellow and fast. She also liked to talk to the drivers, who were always nice to her.
+
+"Hello, Mr. Taxi Driver," Lila said, as they got in. "Where are you from?"
+
+"Hello, little girl," the driver said, with a smile. "I am from India. Do you know where that is?"
+
+Lila shook her head. She did not know many places, only her home and the park and the store.
+
+"It is very far away, across the ocean," the driver said. "I came here to work and make money for my family. They are still in India. I miss them a lot."
+
+Lila felt sad for the driver. She knew how it felt to miss someone. She missed her mom, who was in the hospital. She had a bad cough, and the doctors were trying to fix her.
+
+"I miss my mom, too," Lila said. "She is sick, and I can't see her. Dad says she will be better soon, but I don't know when."
+
+The driver nodded. He understood. He said, "I am sorry, little girl. I hope your mom gets well soon. You know, sometimes, when I feel lonely, I sing a song. It makes me feel better. Do you want to sing with me?"
+
+Lila smiled. She liked to sing, too. She said, "Yes, please. What song do you know?"
+
+The driver said, "I know a song from my country. It is called 'Lakdi Ki Kaathi'. It is about a wooden horse that a boy rides. It is a fun song. Do you want to try?"
+
+Lila said, "Yes, please. How does it go?"
+
+The driver taught her the words and the tune. They sang together, as the taxi drove to the park. The song was smooth and happy, and it made them both feel better. Lila and the driver became friends, and they learned something new from each other.
+
+The moral of the story is: Singing can cheer you up when you are sad, and you can make friends with people who are different from you.

+"Hello, dog!" Tom says. He wants to pet the dog. Mia is scared. She does not like big dogs.
+
+"Tom, no!" Mia says. "The dog is not nice. The dog can bite. We need to run. Run, Tom, run!"
+
+Tom and Mia run away from the dog. They run to the slide. The slide is high and shiny. They climb up the slide and sit on top. The dog cannot reach them.
+

+Tim and Anna are married. They are husband and wife. They like to organize their home. They have a place for everything. They have a box for toys, a shelf for books, a closet for clothes, and a drawer for tools.
+
+One day, Tim wants to fix the table. It is broken. He needs a hammer and some nails. He goes to the drawer for tools. But he cannot find them. The drawer is messy. There are pencils, papers, scissors, and stickers in the drawer. He is angry.
+
+He calls Anna. He says, "Anna, where are the tools? I need them to fix the table. The drawer is messy. You did not organize it."
+
+Anna comes to the drawer. She says, "Tim, I did organize it. I put the tools in the box for toys. I thought they were toys. They are shiny and fun. Look, here they are."
+
+Tim sees the tools in the box for toys. He is surprised. He says, "Anna, these are not toys. These are tools. They are for fixing things. They are not for playing. They can hurt you. You have to be careful."
+
+Anna is sorry. She says, "Tim, I am sorry. I did not know. I wanted to help you. I wanted to organize the home. I like to organize. It makes me happy."
+
+Tim is not angry anymore. He says, "Anna, I love you. You are a good wife. You are modest and kind. You always try to help me. But you have to learn the difference between toys and tools. I will teach you. Come, let me show you how to fix the table."

+
+"Wow, look at the jet!" Ben says. "I want to fly in a jet!"
+
+"Me too!" Mia says. "Let's pretend we have a jet!"
+
+They run to the toy box and look for a jet. But there is only one jet, and it is Ben's. It is clean and blue.
+
+"Can I borrow your jet, Ben?" Mia asks. "Please?"
+
+Ben thinks for a moment. He likes his jet, but he also likes Mia. He decides to share.
+
+"Okay, you can borrow my jet, Mia. But be careful with it. It is my favorite toy."

+
+They take turns flying the jet around the room. They make zooming and whooshing noises. They have fun pretending to be pilots.
+
+After a while, they put the jet back in the toy box.
+
+"Here is your jet, Ben. It is still clean and blue. I had fun playing with it."
+
+"Thank you, Mia. You are a good friend too. I had fun playing with you."
+
+They hug and smile. They are happy to have a jet and a friend.
+Lily and Tom were friends. They liked to play outside. One day, it rained a lot. Lily and Tom saw many puddles. They wanted to jump in them.
+
+"Let's jump in the puddles!" Lily said.
+
+"OK!" Tom said.
+
+They ran to the biggest puddle. They jumped and splashed. They laughed and had fun.
+
+But then, they saw a big dog. The dog was ugly. It had long hair and sharp teeth. It barked and growled. It ran to Lily and Tom.
+
+"Help!" Lily and Tom said.
+
+They tried to run away. But the puddle was too deep. They got stuck. The dog got closer and closer.
+
+"Listen!" Lily said. "Maybe we can make the dog go away. Let's say nice things to it."
+
+"OK!" Tom said.
+
+They said nice things to the dog. They said, "Good dog. Nice dog. We are your friends."
+
+But the dog did not listen. It did not like nice things. It liked to bite and hurt. It jumped on Lily and Tom. It bit them hard. They cried and screamed.
+
+No one heard them. No one helped them. The dog ate them up. The end.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big box. The box has many shoes inside. Some shoes are red, some shoes are blue, some shoes are shiny, some shoes are fancy.
+
+"Wow, look at these shoes!" Lily says. "They are so pretty. I want to try them on."
+
+"Me too!" Ben says. "Let's see who can find the best shoes."
+
+They open the box and take out the shoes. They try on different pairs. Lily finds a pair of fancy shoes. They have pink flowers and sparkles. Ben finds a pair of race shoes. They have stripes and wheels.
+
+"Look at my shoes!" Lily says. "They are so fancy. I feel like a princess."
+
+"Look at my shoes!" Ben says. "They are so fast. I feel like a car."
+
+They both like their shoes. They want to show them to each other.
+
+"Let's have a race!" Ben says. "We can see who is faster. The winner gets a sticker."
+
+"OK!" Lily says. "But be careful. Don't fall down."
+
+They go to the path. They get ready to race. They count to three.
+
+"One, two, three, go!" they say.
+
+They run as fast as they can. Lily's fancy shoes make her feel happy. Ben's race shoes make him feel strong. They are both having fun.
+
+But then, something happens. Lily's fancy shoes are too big. They slip off her feet. She stops to pick them up. Ben's race shoes are too small. They hurt his toes. He slows down to take them off.
+
+They both look at each other. They see their shoes on the ground. They see their feet without shoes. They start to laugh.
+
+"These shoes are silly!" Lily says. "They are not good for racing."
+
+"These shoes are funny!" Ben says. "They are not good for running."
+
+They put their shoes back in the box. They put on their own shoes. They hug each other.
+
+"Let's play something else!" Lily says.
+
+"OK!" Ben says. "You are my friend. I don't care who is faster."
+
+They go to the swings. They forget about the shoes. They are happy.
+Tim and Sam were playing in the park. They liked to dig in the sand and look for things. Sometimes they found coins, or shells, or rocks. But today they found something else.
+
+"Look, look!" Tim shouted. He held up a white thing with holes and bumps. "What is this?"
+
+Sam ran over and looked at it. He felt scared. It looked like a head, but with no skin or hair. He remembered what his mom had told him about bones.
+
+"That is a skull," he said. "It is what is inside your head. It is very old and pale. Someone died here a long time ago."
+
+Tim dropped the skull and screamed. He did not like bones. He did not like dead things. He wanted to go home.
+
+"Let's go, let's go!" he cried. He grabbed Sam's hand and ran away from the sand.
+
+Sam followed him. He felt sorry for Tim. He also felt sorry for the skull. He wondered who it was and what happened to them. He hoped they were happy in heaven.
+
+They ran to their mom, who was sitting on a bench. She saw their faces and hugged them.
+
+"What's wrong, boys?" she asked. "Did something scare you?"
+
+Tim and Sam told her about the skull. She looked surprised and worried.
+
+"Where did you find it?" she asked.
+
+"In the sand, over there," Sam pointed.
+
+She took them to the sand and looked for the skull. But it was gone. Someone else had taken it. She sighed and shook her head.
+
+"Come on, boys," she said. "Let's go home. It's not safe to play here. There might be more bones or other things. We'll find a better park tomorrow."
+
+Tim and Sam nodded. They were glad to leave. They did not want to see any more skulls. They wanted to play with toys and books and animals. They wanted to forget about the pale skull in the sand.

+
+"Wow, Tom, your rocket is so colorful and cool!" she says.
+
+"Thank you, Lily. Do you want to play with me?" Tom asks.
+
+"Yes, please. Can I go inside your rocket?" Lily says.
+
+"Of course. You can be the co-pilot. I will be the pilot. We can go to the moon and the stars," Tom says.
+
+He offers his hand to Lily. Lily takes his hand. They go inside the rocket. They pretend to fly and explore the space. They have a lot of fun. They are happy.
+Tom and Lily were eager to go to the park with Mom. They put on their hats and shoes and ran to the car. Mom had a big cooler with snacks and drinks for them. She put it in the trunk and drove to the park.
+
+At the park, there were many things to do. Tom and Lily saw swings, slides, sand, and a pond. They wanted to try everything. Mom said they could play for a while, but they had to stay close and listen for her whistle. She gave them a small whistle each and said they could use it if they needed her.
+
+Tom and Lily ran to the swings first. They pushed each other and laughed. Then they went to the slide and slid down fast. They liked the feeling of the wind in their hair. They decided to go to the sand next and make a castle. They found some sticks and stones and shells to decorate it.
+
+They were having so much fun that they did not hear Mom's whistle. She whistled again and again, but they did not notice. She got worried and walked to the sand. She saw them playing and smiled. She called their names and they looked up. They saw her and whistled back. They ran to her and hugged her.
+
+Mom said it was time to eat. She took them to a bench and opened the cooler. She gave them sandwiches, fruit, and juice. They ate and drank and thanked her. They told her about their castle and asked if they could go to the pond. Mom said yes, but they had to be careful and not go too close to the water. She said she would whistle when it was time to go home. Tom and Lily nodded and ran to the pond. They saw ducks and fish and frogs. They whistled to them and threw some bread. They were happy and had a good day.

+Lily was a cheerful girl who liked to play with her toys and her dog, Max. She always gave Max a big hug and a treat before she went to bed. Max was a good dog who loved Lily and protected her from scary things.
+
+One night, Lily had a nightmare. She dreamed that a big monster with sharp teeth and claws was chasing her in the dark. She ran and ran, but the monster was faster. She screamed for Max, but he was nowhere to be seen. The monster caught her and bit her hard. Lily woke up with a loud cry.
+
+She looked around and saw that it was still dark. She felt something wet and warm on her arm. She turned on the light and saw that Max had bitten her. He was growling and showing his teeth. He looked angry and mean. Lily was shocked and scared. She didn't understand why Max would hurt her. She loved him so much.
+
+She tried to calm him down and reach for the phone, but Max bit her again. He was stronger than her and dragged her to the floor. He bit her all over, making her bleed and cry. Lily wished it was all a bad dream, but it was real. She didn't know that Max had a sickness in his head that made him act crazy. She didn't know that he had bitten other people and animals before. She didn't know that he was going to die soon.
+
+She only knew that she was going to die too. And she was very sad.

+Mom hears Mia and Sam. She comes to their room. She sees Mia crying and Sam poking. She is not happy.
+
+"What is going on here?" Mom says. She picks up Mia and hugs her. She looks at Sam. "Why are you poking Mia, Sam? Don't you see she is tired and wants to sleep?"
+
+"I want to play, Mom. Mia is boring. She doesn't want to play with me." Sam says. He pouts.
+
+"Sam, you are not being fair. You are being rude. You should respect Mia's feelings. She has the right to sleep. You can play in the morning. But now it is night. And night is for sleeping." Mom says. She puts Mia back in the bed. She tucks her in. She kisses her. "Good night, Mia. I love you."
+
+"Good night, Mom. I love you too." Mia says. She smiles. She feels better.
+
+Mom turns to Sam. She takes his hand. She leads him to the bed. She tucks him in. She kisses him. "Good night, Sam. I love you."
+
+"Good night, Mom. I love you too." Sam says. He is quiet. He feels sorry.
+
+Mom turns off the light. She leaves the room. She hopes they will sleep well.
+
+Mia and Sam look at each other. They say sorry. They hug. They close their eyes. They fall asleep. They dream of fair and fun games.
+Lily and Ben like to play with their dog, Max. Max is big and brown and very friendly. He likes to run and jump and catch a ball. Sometimes, he gets wet when he plays in the water.
+
+One day, Lily and Ben take Max to the park. They see a big pond with ducks and fish. Max runs to the pond and jumps in. He splashes and swims and chases the ducks. Lily and Ben laugh and clap.
+
+"Max, come back!" Lily calls. "You are too wet!"
+
+Max hears Lily and swims back to the shore. He shakes his fur and sprays water everywhere. Lily and Ben get wet too. They giggle and hug Max.
+
+"Good boy, Max!" Ben says. "You are so fun!"
+
+He rubs Max's ears and belly. Max wags his tail and licks Ben's face. Lily rubs Max's back and neck. Max closes his eyes and smiles.
+
+They are all happy and wet. They love to play together.
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys in their room. They have many toys, but their favorite is a big blanket. The blanket is soft and colorful. They can make tents, capes, and forts with the blanket.
+
+One day, Lily and Ben have a new idea. They want to make a big picture with the blanket. They ask their mom for some scissors and glue. Mom says yes, but she tells them to be careful. She gives them the scissors and glue and goes to the kitchen.
+
+Lily and Ben start to cut and glue the blanket. They make shapes, letters, and animals. They have fun and laugh. They are proud of their picture. They want to show mom.
+
+They call mom and ask her to come to their room. Mom comes and sees the picture. She is surprised and angry. She says, "What have you done? You ruined your blanket! That was your original blanket, the one grandma made for you. How could you cut and glue it?"
+
+Lily and Ben are sad and scared. They did not know the blanket was special. They say, "We are sorry, mom. We wanted to make a picture. We did not mean to hurt the blanket. We love the blanket."
+
+Mom sighs and hugs them. She says, "I know you love the blanket. And I love you. But you should not cut and glue things without asking. You should respect your things and take care of them. The blanket was original, but now it is not. It is broken and ugly."
+
+Lily and Ben feel bad. They say, "Can we fix the blanket, mom? Can we make it original again?"
+
+Mom says, "I don't know, sweeties. Maybe we can try. But it will not be the same. It will have holes and patches. It will not be as soft and colorful. But maybe we can still use it. And maybe we can make a new picture with paper and crayons. Would you like that?"
+
+Lily and Ben nod and smile. They say, "Yes, mom. We would like that. Thank you, mom. We are sorry, mom. We love you, mom."
+
+Mom says, "I love you too, Lily and Ben. Now let's go to the kitchen and have some cookies. And then we can try to fix the blanket and make a new picture. OK?"
+
+Lily and Ben say, "OK, mom. Let's go." They hold mom's hand and go to the kitchen. They are happy again. They learned a lesson. They will not cut and glue their blanket again. They will respect their original things.
+One day, a little girl named Anna went to the park with her mom. She saw a big tree with many shiny things on it. She ran to the tree and touched the things. They made a loud sound. "Ring, ring, ring!" she said.
+
+"Anna, be careful!" her mom said. "Those are ancient bells. They are very old and special. They belong to the park. You can look at them, but not touch them."
+
+Anna did not listen. She wanted to play with the bells. She pulled one of them hard. It fell off the tree and broke. Anna was scared. She heard a voice behind her.
+
+"Who did this?" the voice said. It was a man with a red coat and a white beard. He had a big bag and a sleigh with reindeer. He looked angry.
+
+"I did, sir," Anna said. She was sorry. "I'm sorry, sir. I didn't know. I just wanted to hear the bells."
+
+The man sighed. He picked up the broken bell. He said, "This bell was very important to me. It was a gift from a friend long ago. It helped me find my way in the dark and the snow. Now it is gone."
+
+Anna felt bad. She said, "I'm sorry, sir. Can I do anything to help?"
+
+The man looked at her. He saw that she was sincere. He said, "Well, you can help me by learning a lesson. The bells are not toys. They are treasures. You should respect them and the people who own them. Do you understand?"
+
+Anna nodded. She said, "Yes, sir. I understand. I will respect the bells and the people. I will not touch them again."
+
+The man smiled. He said, "That's good. You are a smart and kind girl. I forgive you. Here, take this." He gave her a small bell from his bag. It was shiny and new. It made a soft sound. "Ring, ring, ring!" Anna said.
+
+"This is a new bell for you," the man said. "You can keep it and play with it. But remember, it is also a treasure. Take good care of it and use it wisely. Maybe it will help you find your way too."
+
+Anna thanked the man. She hugged him. She said, "Thank you, sir. You are very nice. What is your name?"
+
+The man winked. He said, "You can call me Santa. Now, I have to go. I have many gifts to deliver. Merry Christmas, Anna!"
+
+He got on his sleigh. He said to his reindeer, "Let's go, boys. We have a lot of work to do." He waved to Anna and her mom. He said, "Ho, ho, ho!"
+
+Anna and her mom waved back. They watched him fly away. They heard the bells. "Ring, ring, ring!" they said. They smiled. They learned a lesson. They felt happy.
+Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw a big snowman in their yard. He had a hat, a scarf, and a carrot nose. He looked very happy.
+
+"Let's play with the snowman!" Ben said.
+
+"OK!" Lily said.
+
+They ran to the snowman and hugged him. He was cold and wet, but they did not mind. They wanted to make him their friend.
+
+"Hello, snowman!" Ben said. "What is your name?"
+
+The snowman did not answer. He just smiled.
+
+"Maybe he can't talk," Lily said. "But he can listen. Let's tell him a story."
+
+They sat on the ground and told the snowman a story about a chubby bunny who lived in a bush. The bunny was very kind and shared his carrots with other animals. The snowman listened and nodded.
+
+The twins were having fun, but they did not notice that the sun was shining brighter and brighter. The snowman started to melt. His hat fell off, his scarf slipped, and his carrot nose dropped.
+
+"Oh no!" Ben said. "The snowman is melting!"
+
+"What can we do?" Lily said.
+
+They tried to put the snowman back together, but it was too late. He was gone. They felt very sad.
+
+"I'm sorry, snowman," Ben said. "We wanted to be your friends."
+
+"Me too," Lily said. "You were a good listener."
+
+They looked at the puddle where the snowman used to be. They saw something shiny. It was a button.
+
+"Look!" Ben said. "The snowman left us a gift. A button!"
+
+"Wow!" Lily said. "Maybe he wanted to say thank you for the story."
+
+They picked up the button and smiled. They felt a little better.
+
+"Let's keep the button," Ben said. "It will remind us of the snowman."
+
+"OK," Lily said. "And let's make another snowman when it snows again."
+
+They hugged each other and went inside. They learned that snowmen can melt, but friendship can last.
+Anna and Ben were twins. They liked to play on the porch with their toys. They had a big birthday cake and balloons. They were going to celebrate their fourth birthday.
+
+"Look, Mommy and Daddy are coming!" Anna said. She saw the car in the driveway. She ran to the door. Ben followed her.
+
+"Happy birthday, my sweeties!" Mommy said. She hugged them and gave them presents. Daddy did the same. They all went to the porch.
+
+"Let's cut the cake and sing!" Daddy said. He put the cake on the table. He gave Anna and Ben each a knife. They smiled and held the knives.
+
+"Wait, be careful with those!" Mommy said. She saw the knives were sharp. She tried to take them away.
+
+But it was too late. Anna and Ben did not know how to use the knives. They cut the cake and themselves. They screamed and cried. They saw blood on the cake and their hands.
+
+Mommy and Daddy were shocked and scared. They dropped the presents and ran to help them. They called 911.
+
+The cake and the balloons were ruined. The porch was a mess. Anna and Ben were hurt and unhappy. It was a bad birthday. They did not celebrate. They were uncomfortable.
+Sam and Mia are friends. They like to play outside. One day, they find a new map in a box. The map has many colors and pictures. Sam and Mia want to see what the map shows.
+
+"Look, Mia, this is a map of the park. We can go there and find the big slide and the pond and the swings," Sam says.
+
+"Yes, let's go, Sam. Maybe we can see some ducks and flowers and trees," Mia says.
+
+They take the map and run to the park. They follow the map and find the big slide. They take turns to slide down and laugh. Then they go to the pond. They see some ducks and feed them bread. They also see some fish and frogs. They are happy.
+
+But then, Sam feels a tickle in his nose. He tries to stop it, but he can't. He sneezes very loud. "Achoo!"
+
+The ducks get scared and fly away. The fish and frogs hide under the water. Mia looks at Sam and giggles.
+
+"Sam, you sneezed so loud. You scared the ducks and the fish and the frogs," Mia says.
+
+"Sorry, Mia. I didn't mean to. I have a cold. Maybe we should go back home and rest," Sam says.
+
+"OK, Sam. Let's go back home and rest. But first, let's find the swings. They are on the map, too. Maybe we can swing a little and have some fun," Mia says.
+
+They take the map and find the swings. They swing high and low and smile. They have fun. Then they go back home and rest. They are still friends. They like the new map. They want to play with it again. The end.
+Lila was sick. She had a bad cough and a fever. She felt very hot and tired. Her mom gave her some medicine, but it was bitter and made her face scrunch up.
+
+"Mom, why do I have to take this medicine?" Lila asked.
+
+"Because it will help you get better, sweetie," her mom said. "The medicine will fight the germs that make you sick."
+
+Lila did not like germs. She wished they would go away. She wondered if other kids had germs too, or if they were healthy and happy.
+
+"Mom, do wealthy kids get sick too?" Lila asked.
+
+Her mom smiled and hugged her. "Wealthy kids are kids who have a lot of money and things, but that doesn't mean they don't get sick. Money can't buy health, honey. All kids can get sick sometimes, no matter how wealthy they are. What matters is that they have someone who loves them and takes care of them, like I do for you."
+
+Lila felt a little better. She knew her mom loved her very much. She decided to take her medicine and rest, so she could get well soon. She hoped the germs would leave her alone, and that all the kids in the world, wealthy or not, would be healthy and happy too.
+Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big slide. They want to try it.
+
+"Let's go to the slide!" Sara says.
+
+"OK!" Tom says.
+
+They run to the slide. They take turns to go down. They have fun.
+
+But the slide is very hot. The sun makes it hot. Sara and Tom do not know. They do not feel it at first.
+
+Sara goes down the slide again. She feels something hurt. She screams.
+
+"Ow! Ow! Ow!" Sara says.
+
+Tom hears her. He looks at her. He sees her legs. They are red. They have burns.
+
+"What happened?" Tom says.
+
+"The slide is hot! It burned me!" Sara says.
+
+Tom is scared. He wants to help her. He runs to her. But he is too fast. He trips. He falls. He hits his head. He bleeds.
+
+Sara and Tom cry. They are hurt. They are alone. They do not know what to do.
+
+They lose their fun. They lose their place. They lose their smile. They have a bad day.
+Lily and Tom were playing with blocks in the living room. They liked to build towers and houses and cars with the blocks. Lily was very compassionate. She always shared her blocks with Tom and helped him when he was stuck.
+
+"Look, Lily, I made a big tower!" Tom said, showing his creation to Lily.
+
+"Wow, Tom, that's amazing!" Lily said, smiling. "Can I see it closer?"
+
+"Sure, Lily, come here!" Tom said, moving aside to let Lily reach the tower.
+
+Lily reached for the tower, but she was not careful. She bumped into the table and knocked over a vase. The vase fell on the floor and broke into pieces. Some of the pieces flew into the air and hit Tom in the head.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Tom cried, holding his head. "Lily, you hurt me!"
+
+Lily was scared and sorry. She did not mean to hurt Tom. She ran to Tom and hugged him.
+
+"I'm sorry, Tom, I'm sorry!" Lily said, sobbing. "Are you okay?"
+
+Tom did not answer. He was not okay. The pieces of the vase had cut his head and his brain. He was bleeding a lot and he felt very dizzy. He closed his eyes and fell on the floor.
+
+Lily screamed and called for help. But it was too late. Tom was gone. Lily had lost her best friend. She wished she had been more careful. She wished she could take it back. But she could not. She was very sad and alone.
+Sara likes to help her mom in the kitchen. She likes to serve food to her dad and her brother. She feels like a big girl when she does that.
+
+One day, Sara sees a big bowl of salad on the table. She wants to serve some salad to her dad. She picks up the bowl and walks to the living room. But the bowl is too heavy for her. She drops the bowl on the floor. The salad spills everywhere. There are green strips of lettuce and red strips of tomato on the carpet.
+
+Sara feels bad. She starts to cry. Her mom hears her and comes to see what happened. She sees the mess on the floor. She is not angry. She hugs Sara and tells her it is okay. She says they can clean it up together.
+
+Sara helps her mom pick up the strips of salad. She puts them in a trash bag. Her mom gets a cloth and some water. She wipes the carpet. Sara tries to help, but she is tired. She yawns and rubs her eyes.
+
+Her mom sees that Sara is sleepy. She tells her it is time for a nap. She takes her to her room and tucks her in. She kisses her and says she loves her. Sara smiles and says she loves her too. She closes her eyes and falls asleep. She dreams of serving food to her family.
+Tom and Lily were eager to go to the zoo. They put on their hats and coats and followed Mom and Dad to the big building. Mom and Dad pressed a button and waited for the elevator.
+
+Ding! The elevator came and opened its doors. Tom and Lily ran inside and looked at the buttons. There were many buttons with numbers and pictures. Tom wanted to press the button with the picture of a lion. Lily wanted to press the button with the picture of a bird.
+
+"Let me press it!" Tom said.
+
+"No, me!" Lily said.
+
+They both reached for the buttons and pushed them at the same time. The elevator made a loud noise and stopped moving. The lights went off and the doors stayed closed.
+
+"Uh-oh," Mom said. "The elevator is broken. We need to solve this problem."
+
+"How?" Tom asked.
+
+"Maybe we can call for help," Dad said. He looked for a phone or a speaker in the elevator, but he could not find any.
+
+"Maybe we can yell for help," Mom said. She and Dad started to yell, "Help! Help! We are stuck in the elevator!"
+
+Tom and Lily felt scared and hugged each other. They did not like the dark and the noise. They wanted to go to the zoo.
+
+Suddenly, they heard another noise outside the elevator. It sounded like someone was banging on the doors.
+
+"Hello? Is anyone in there?" a voice said.
+
+"Yes! Yes! We are in here!" Mom and Dad yelled back.
+
+"Don't worry, I'm here to help. I'm the elevator man. I can fix the elevator and open the doors. Just stay calm and wait a little bit," the voice said.
+
+Tom and Lily felt a little better. They hoped the elevator man could solve the problem soon. They still wanted to go to the zoo and see the animals.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big hill with a path. The path is not straight. It is a zigzag.
+
+"Let's go up the hill!" Lily says. "It looks fun!"
+
+"OK!" Ben says. "But how do we go up? The zigzag is hard."
+
+Lily thinks. She has a plan. "We can take turns," she says. "You go first, then I go. We follow the zigzag, but we don't cross it. We stay on our side."
+
+Ben nods. He likes the plan. He is independent. He can do it by himself. He starts to walk up the hill. He follows the zigzag on his side. He looks back at Lily. She smiles and waits for her turn.
+
+Lily watches Ben. She is proud of him. He is doing well. She is also independent. She can do it by herself. She waits for Ben to reach the top. Then she starts to walk up the hill. She follows the zigzag on her side. She looks ahead at Ben. He waves and cheers for her.
+
+They both reach the top of the hill. They hug and laugh. They did it! They followed the plan. They followed the zigzag. They are independent. They are happy. They look at the park. It is beautiful. They see their parents. They wave and call them. They want to share their adventure. They run down the hill. They are friends. They like to play in the park.
+Tim and Lily were playing in the yard. They liked to run and jump and laugh. They saw a big chicken in the coop. The chicken had white feathers and a red comb.
+
+"Look, a chicken!" Tim said. "I want to lift it."
+
+"No, Tim, don't!" Lily said. "The chicken will peck you. It will hurt."
+
+But Tim did not listen. He ran to the coop and opened the door. He tried to lift the chicken, but the chicken was angry. It pecked Tim on the hand. Tim cried out and let go of the chicken. The chicken ran away.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Tim said. He held his hand and ran to Lily. Lily hugged him and said, "I told you so. You should listen to me."
+
+They went to the house and told their mom what happened. Mom washed Tim's hand and put a band-aid on it. She said, "Tim, you should not lift the chicken. The chicken does not like that. The chicken is not a toy. The chicken is for eggs and meat."
+
+Then she said, "I have a surprise for you. We are having chicken for dinner. It will be tasty. Do you want some?"
+
+Tim and Lily looked at each other. They nodded and said, "Yes, please."
+
+They hoped it was not the same chicken that pecked Tim.
+Tom and Lily wanted to make a cake for Mom. They saw a box of powder in the kitchen. The box said "Cake Mix". Tom and Lily thought it was easy to make a cake with powder.
+
+They opened the box and poured the powder in a big bowl. They added some water and stirred with a spoon. They did not question the powder. They did not read the instructions. They did not see the picture on the box.
+
+They put the bowl in the oven and turned it on. They waited for the cake to be ready. They smelled something bad. They saw smoke coming out of the oven. They ran to the oven and opened it. They saw a big mess. The powder was not cake mix. It was cheap laundry detergent. It made bubbles and foam and burned in the oven.
+
+Mom came home and saw the disaster. She was very angry. She scolded Tom and Lily. She told them they were naughty and careless. She told them they wasted money and ruined the oven. She told them they had to clean up and go to bed without cake.
+
+Tom and Lily cried. They felt sorry and sad. They wished they had questioned the powder. They wished they had read the instructions. They wished they had seen the picture on the box. They learned a hard lesson. They never used powder again.
+Ben and Lily love music. They have a huge box of instruments. They like to play drums, guitars, flutes and bells. They make loud and happy sounds.
+
+One day, they want to play music outside. They ask their mom if they can. Mom says, "You can play music outside, but only if you permit me to join you. I like music too."
+
+Ben and Lily are happy. They say, "Yes, mom, you can join us. We will play music together." They take their instruments and go outside.
+
+They find a nice spot under a big tree. They start to play music. They sing and dance too. Mom plays the flute. She is very good.
+
+They have a lot of fun. They see a bird on the tree. The bird likes their music. It sings along. They see a dog on the street. The dog likes their music. It barks along. They see a man on a bike. The man likes their music. He smiles and waves.
+
+Ben and Lily are proud. They say, "Mom, we make good music. Everyone likes our music." Mom says, "You do make good music. I am proud of you. You are very talented." They hug and kiss. They play music until the sun sets.
+Lily was a gifted girl. She liked to act in plays with her friends. She could pretend to be a princess, a pirate, a doctor, or anything she wanted. She had a lot of fun making costumes and props with her mom and dad.
+
+One day, Lily and her friends decided to act out a story about a farm. Lily was the farmer, and her friends were the animals. They had a cow, a pig, a sheep, and a chicken. They made noises and moved like the animals. Lily pretended to feed them and take care of them.
+
+But there was a problem. The cow was sick. She could not give any milk. Lily was worried. She wanted to make cream and butter for her friends. She asked the pig, the sheep, and the chicken for help. They tried to think of a way to make the cow feel better.
+
+They decided to give the cow some flowers, some hay, and some water. They also sang a song for her. The cow liked the flowers, the hay, and the water. She liked the song too. She felt happier and stronger. She thanked her friends for being so kind.
+
+Then, she gave a big moo and squirted some milk. Lily was happy. She collected the milk in a bucket. She took it to the kitchen and made some cream and butter. She shared it with her friends. They all enjoyed the tasty treat. They praised Lily for being a gifted farmer and a good friend. They hugged the cow and thanked her for the milk. They all smiled and said, "The end!"
+Tim and Mia are friends. They like to play in the garden. They see many flowers that bloom. They are pretty and smell good.
+
+"Look, Tim, this flower is yellow and big. Do you like it?" Mia asks.
+
+"Yes, I like it. It is like the sun. Can I touch it?" Tim says.
+
+"Be careful, Tim. Some flowers have thorns. They are hard and sharp. They can hurt you." Mia warns.
+
+Tim nods. He does not want to get hurt. He sees a tool near the flowers. It is a shovel. He picks it up.
+
+"What are you doing, Tim?" Mia asks.
+
+"I want to dig. Maybe I can find something in the dirt. Do you want to help me?" Tim says.
+
+"Okay, Tim. Let's dig together. Maybe we can find a worm or a stone. That would be fun." Mia says.
+
+They dig with the shovel. They make a big hole. They find a worm and a stone. They are happy. They show their finds to each other.
+
+"Look, Mia, this worm is long and wiggly. Do you like it?" Tim asks.
+
+"Yuck, Tim, I don't like it. It is slimy and gross. Put it back in the dirt." Mia says.
+
+"Okay, Mia. How about this stone? It is hard and shiny. Do you like it?" Tim asks.
+
+"Yes, Tim, I like it. It is pretty and smooth. Can I have it?" Mia says.
+
+"Sure, Mia. You can have it. It is a gift for you. You are my friend." Tim says.
+
+"Thank you, Tim. You are my friend too. You are nice and kind." Mia says.
+
+They hug each other. They are happy. They play some more in the garden. They see more flowers that bloom. They are pretty and smell good.
+Lily and Max were twins who liked to play pretend. One day, they decided to put on an opera for their mom and dad. They found some old clothes and hats and made a stage in the living room.
+
+"Welcome to our opera!" Lily said in a loud voice. "I am the princess and Max is the prince. We are going to sing a beautiful song about love."
+
+Max nodded and took Lily's hand. They started to sing, but they did not know any real opera words. They just made up some sounds that sounded funny and fancy.
+
+Their mom and dad watched and smiled. They thought their twins were very cute and clever. They clapped and cheered when Lily and Max finished their song.
+
+"Thank you, thank you!" Lily and Max bowed. "We hope you liked our opera!"
+
+"We loved it!" their mom said. "You are very talented and creative. But now it is time to settle down and get ready for bed. You have a big day tomorrow."
+
+Lily and Max nodded. They hugged their mom and dad and said good night. They put away their clothes and hats and went to their bedroom. They brushed their teeth and put on their pajamas. They climbed into their beds and snuggled with their teddy bears.
+
+They felt happy and proud of their opera. They closed their eyes and fell asleep. They dreamed of singing and dancing on a big stage. They had a slow and peaceful sleep.
+It was a cold day and Lily wanted to play outside. She put on her coat, hat and boots, but she could not find her mittens. She looked everywhere, but they were not in her room, or in the closet, or in the drawer. She felt sad and asked her mom, "Mom, where are my mittens?"
+
+Mom smiled and said, "I have a surprise for you, Lily. Come with me to the living room." Lily followed her mom, feeling curious and eager. In the living room, she saw a big pile of colorful paper on the table. Mom said, "I made you some paper mittens, Lily. Do you want to see how I did it?"
+
+Lily nodded and climbed on a chair. Mom took a square paper and showed her how to fold it in half, then in half again, then in half one more time. She cut a small curve on the edge and opened the paper. It looked like a mitten! Lily clapped and said, "Wow, Mom, that's amazing! Can I try?"
+
+Mom gave her another paper and helped her fold it and cut it. Lily made her own paper mitten and was very proud. She put it on her hand and said, "Look, Mom, I have a paper mitten! Can we make more?"
+
+Mom said, "Of course, Lily. We can make as many as you want. But remember, paper mittens are not for outside. They are only for fun and for learning. If you want to play outside, you need real mittens that keep your hands warm and dry."
+
+Lily understood and said, "OK, Mom. I will keep my paper mittens inside. But can we play with them for a while?" Mom said, "Sure, Lily. Let's play with them and pretend we are in a winter wonderland." They made more paper mittens and had a lot of fun together.
+
+The moral value of the story is: Sometimes, you can make something out of nothing with a little creativity and imagination. Paper mittens are not as good as real mittens, but they can still bring joy and learning.
+Lily and Sam are best friends. They like to play together at school and at home. One day, Lily has a good idea. She wants to invite Sam to her house for pizza.

+
+Sam says, "That sounds perfect, Lily. Thank you for inviting me. You are a good friend."
+
+Lily and Sam hug and go back to their class. They are happy and excited. They can't wait for pizza time.
+Lily and Ben like to play pretend. They have a big box that they use as a house. Lily is the mom and Ben is the dad. They have a toy pot and a spoon that they use to cook. Lily likes to stir the soup and tell Ben what to do. She is very bossy.
+
+One day, they hear a loud noise outside. They look out the window and see a police car. The police have a siren and a light. They are chasing a bad man. Lily and Ben are scared and curious. They want to see what is happening.
+
+They run out of the box and go to the street. They see the police catch the bad man and put him in the car. The police are brave and strong. They tell Lily and Ben to go back to their house and be safe. Lily and Ben listen and run back to the box.
+
+They are happy that the police got the bad man. They hug each other and go back to play. Lily says she wants to be a police when she grows up. Ben says he wants to be a police too. They agree to be police partners and help people. They forget about the soup and the spoon. They are not bossy anymore. They are friends.
+Sara and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to swing and slide and run. But they did not like the big dog that lived near the park. The dog was filthy and mean. It barked and growled at them.
+
+One day, the dog got out of its yard and ran to the park. It saw Sara and Tom and chased them. Sara and Tom were scared. They ran to the fence and tried to climb over it. But the fence was too high.
+
+"Help!" Sara cried. "The dog is coming!"
+
+Tom saw a big stick on the ground. He picked it up and said, "Don't worry, Sara. I have a plan. Trust me."
+
+He threw the stick as far as he could. He threw it with a big pitch. The dog saw the stick and ran after it. It forgot about Sara and Tom.
+

+
+One day, he saw a poster for a talent show at his school. He wanted to join and show everyone his drum skills. He asked his mom if he could sign up. She said yes, but he had to practice hard every day. Tom agreed and went to his room to play his drum.

+Anna was lonely. She had no friends to play with at school. She liked to draw and read, but the other kids liked to run and shout. They did not want to talk to Anna or share their toys with her.
+
+One day, Anna saw a new girl in her class. She had a red coat and a big smile. Anna wanted to be her friend, but she was shy. She did not know how to say hello. She watched the new girl from a corner, hoping she would notice her.
+
+At recess, the new girl went to the swings. Anna followed her, but stayed far away. She saw the new girl swing high and laugh. She wished she could join her. She whispered to herself, "Maybe she will like me. Maybe she will be my friend."
+
+The new girl heard Anna's whisper. She looked around and saw her. She smiled and waved. She jumped off the swing and ran to Anna. She said, "Hi, I'm Lily. What's your name?"
+
+Anna was surprised and happy. She said, "I'm Anna. I like your coat. It's very pretty."
+
+Lily said, "Thank you. I like your drawing. It's very nice. Do you want to play with me?"
+
+Anna nodded. She felt her heart warm. She took Lily's hand and they ran to the slide. They played and talked and laughed. Anna was not lonely anymore. She had a new friend.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big tree with red fruits. They are strawberries. Anna and Ben love strawberries.
+
+"Can we pick some?" Anna asks Ben.
+
+"Yes, but we have to be careful. The tree is very high. We need a ladder," Ben says.
+
+They find a ladder near the shed. They carry it to the tree. They take turns to climb up and pick some strawberries. They put them in a basket. They are very happy.
+
+They see a lively dog running towards them. It is Spot, the park keeper's dog. He likes to play with children. He barks and wags his tail.
+
+"Hello, Spot!" Anna and Ben say. They pat his head and give him a strawberry. He likes it very much.
+
+They share the rest of the strawberries with each other. They are sweet and juicy. They thank the tree for the fruits. They put the ladder back in the shed. They say goodbye to Spot and the park keeper. They go home with their basket. They have had a fun day.
+Lily and Ben were playing with blocks. They wanted to make a big tower. Lily put one block on top of another. Ben did the same. They were happy.
+
+But then, Tom came. Tom was older and bigger. He did not like to share. He pushed Lily and Ben away. He took their blocks. He made his own tower. He laughed.
+
+Lily and Ben were sad and angry. They tried to get their blocks back. But Tom was too strong. He pushed them again. He made his tower bigger and bigger. He said, "This is my tower. It is the best. You are losers."
+
+Lily and Ben felt very uncomfortable. They did not know what to do. They looked at each other. They had an idea. They waited for Tom to put the last block on his tower. Then, they ran to him. They kicked his tower. The blocks fell down. Tom's tower was gone.
+
+Lily and Ben shouted, "This is our victory. You are the loser." They hugged each other. They smiled.
+
+Tom was shocked and angry. He could not believe it. He looked at his broken tower. He looked at Lily and Ben. He started to weep. He cried and cried. He ran away.
+
+Lily and Ben picked up their blocks. They made a new tower. They shared and helped each other. They were happy.
+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. There is a big slide in the park. Lily and Tom want to go on the slide.
+
+But there is a problem. There is a boy on the slide. He is big and mean. He does not let anyone go on the slide. He says, "This is my slide. Go away!"
+
+Lily and Tom are sad. They do not know what to do. They want to have fun on the slide.
+
+Then Lily has an idea. She says, "Tom, I have a stamp. It is a good stamp. It has a star on it. Let's climb on the slide when the boy is not looking. Then we can stamp his back with the star. He will be surprised and angry. Then we can slide down and run away."
+
+Tom thinks this is a good idea. He says, "OK, Lily. Let's do it. But we have to be quick and quiet."
+
+Lily and Tom wait for the right moment. When the boy is looking at the birds, they climb on the slide. They are careful not to make any noise. They get close to the boy. Lily takes out her stamp. She stamps his back with the star. The boy feels something on his back. He turns around and sees Lily and Tom.
+
+He shouts, "Hey, what are you doing? Get off my slide! You stamped me with a star! That is not nice!"
+
+Lily and Tom do not wait for him to say more. They slide down and run away. They laugh and cheer. They are happy. They say, "We did it! We stamped the mean boy! We are good climbers! We are good friends!"
+Lily and Tom are playing in the park. They like to slide, swing and run. But they do not like to share. They always want the same toy or the same spot.
+
+One day, they see a big maze. It has many walls and paths. They want to go inside and find the exit. They run to the maze and enter from different sides.
+
+Lily thinks she is very wise. She follows the signs and the arrows. She thinks they will lead her to the exit. She does not look around or listen.
+
+Tom thinks he is very smart. He does not follow the signs or the arrows. He thinks they are tricks. He looks around and listens. He tries to remember where he came from and where he is going.
+
+After a while, Lily is lost. She does not see the exit. She only sees walls and dead ends. She is scared and sad. She cries and calls for Tom.
+
+Tom hears Lily's voice. He follows it and finds her. He sees that she is stuck in a corner. He is happy and proud. He says, "I found you, Lily! I know the way to the exit. Follow me!"
+
+Lily is glad and relieved. She says, "Thank you, Tom! You are very smart. I was wrong to follow the signs and the arrows. They were tricks. How did you find the way?"
+
+Tom says, "I used my eyes and my ears. I looked for clues and sounds. I remembered where I came from and where I was going. That is how I found you and the exit."
+
+Lily and Tom hug and smile. They follow Tom's path and reach the exit. They are happy and proud. They have learned a lesson. They say, "We are both wise and smart. But we are wiser and smarter when we work together and help each other."
+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play soccer in the park. Tom is a good player. He can kick the ball very far. Mia is a good player too. She can run very fast.
+
+One day, they see a new boy in the park. He has a big ball. He is very tall and strong. He has a mean face. He looks ugly. Tom and Mia do not like him.
+
+The new boy comes to them. He says, "I want to play with you. Give me your ball. My ball is better. You are bad players. You are silly and small."
+
+Tom and Mia are scared. They do not want to play with him. They want to keep their ball. They say, "No, go away. We do not want to play with you. You are rude and mean. You are ugly."
+
+The new boy gets angry. He tries to take their ball. He pushes Tom and Mia. They fall down. They cry.
+
+A big man sees them. He is the new boy's dad. He comes to them. He says, "What are you doing? Why are you hurting Tom and Mia? They are nice kids. You are a bad boy. You are ugly."
+
+The new boy is ashamed. He gazes at the ground. He says, "I am sorry. I just wanted to play. I do not have any friends. I am lonely."
+
+The big man hugs him. He says, "I know. But you cannot make friends by being mean and rude. You have to be kind and polite. You have to share and take turns. You have to say nice things. Then you will find friends. You are not ugly. You are beautiful."
+
+Tom and Mia hear him. They feel sorry for the new boy. They get up. They say, "It is okay. We forgive you. Do you want to play with us? We can use both balls. We can be friends."
+
+The new boy smiles. He says, "Yes, please. Thank you. You are nice. You are beautiful."
+
+They all play together. They have fun. They are happy. They are friends.
+Lily and Ben are playing with their toy cars on the floor. They make them zoom around the room, making loud noises. Lily likes the red car and Ben likes the blue car.
+
+"Zoom, zoom, zoom!" Lily says. "My car is faster than yours!"
+
+"No, it's not!" Ben says. "My car is faster and cooler!"
+
+They zoom their cars towards each other, trying to win the race. But then, they crash into each other and their cars break. The wheels fall off and the doors come loose. Lily and Ben are sad and angry.
+
+"That's not fair!" Lily says. "You broke my car!"
+
+"You broke mine too!" Ben says. "You are a bad driver!"
+
+They start to cry and shout at each other. They don't want to play anymore.
+
+Mom hears the noise and comes to see what's wrong. She sees the broken cars and the unhappy children. She feels sorry for them and tries to help.
+
+"What happened here?" Mom asks. "Why are you crying?"
+
+"Lily and Ben tell Mom what happened. They both blame each other for the crash. Mom listens and nods.
+
+"I see," Mom says. "It's not fun when your toys break. But it's not nice to fight with your friend either. Maybe you can say sorry and share your cars. Then you can fix them together and play again."
+
+Lily and Ben look at each other. They feel a little bit sorry and a little bit silly. They don't want to be mad anymore. They want to have fun.
+
+"Sorry, Lily," Ben says. "Sorry, Ben," Lily says.
+
+They hug and smile. They give each other their cars and look for the missing parts. They find some glue and tape and try to put them back together. They make them look new and shiny.
+
+"Look, Mom!" Lily says. "We fixed our cars!"
+
+"Wow, that's great!" Mom says. "You did a good job! I'm proud of you!"
+
+She gives them a hug and a kiss. She has some news for them.
+
+"Guess what?" Mom says. "I have a surprise for you. We are going to the park today. You can bring your cars and zoom them on the grass. How does that sound?"
+
+Lily and Ben are very happy. They love the park. They love their cars. They love their mom.
+
+"Yay!" Lily and Ben say. "Thank you, Mom! You are the best!"
+
+They run to get their coats and shoes. They are ready to go. They forget about the crash and the fight. They only remember the fun and the love.
+
+They zoom out of the door, holding their cars and their mom's hand. They can't wait to see the park. They hope there are no sour lemons there. They only want sweet things.
+Tom and Anna are playing in the park. They like to run, swing and slide. They see a big tree with many leaves. They want to climb the tree and see what is up there.
+
+They hold hands and walk to the tree. They see a hole in the trunk. They look inside the hole. They discover a bird nest with three eggs. They are happy and curious. They want to touch the eggs.
+
+"Look, Anna, eggs!" Tom says.
+
+"Can we touch them, Tom?" Anna asks.
+
+"I don't know. Maybe they are not ours. Maybe they have a mama bird." Tom says.
+
+They hear a loud noise. They turn around and see a big dog. The dog is barking and running to them. The dog is angry and scary. They are afraid and scream.
+
+"Help, help, a dog!" Tom and Anna shout.
+
+They run away from the tree and the dog. They run to their mom and dad. They hug them and cry. They tell them what they saw and what happened.
+
+Their mom and dad are glad they are safe. They tell them they did the right thing to run away from the dog. They tell them they should not touch the eggs because they belong to the mama bird. They tell them they are brave and smart.
+
+They give them a reward. They buy them ice cream and balloons. They eat the ice cream and play with the balloons. They are happy and forget the dog.
+
+They do not know that the mama bird is dead. She was hit by a car. She will not come back to her eggs. The eggs will not hatch. The dog will find them and eat them. The nest will be empty and sad.
+Tom and Lily wanted to go out with Mom and Dad. They liked to eat at the restaurant. The restaurant had pizza and ice cream and toys. Tom and Lily put on their coats and shoes and hats. They were ready to go.
+
+But when they opened the door, they saw rain. Lots of rain. The rain was loud and wet and cold. It made the sky dark. Tom and Lily did not like the rain. They wanted to stay inside. They did not want to get wet.
+
+Mom and Dad said, "Don't worry, we have umbrellas. The rain will not hurt us. The restaurant is not far. We can walk and have fun. Maybe we will see a rainbow. Do you like rainbows?"
+
+Tom and Lily nodded. They liked rainbows. They were pretty and bright. They made them happy. They took Mom and Dad's hands and held the umbrellas. They walked to the restaurant. They splashed in the puddles. They laughed and sang. They saw a rainbow. They were happy.
+
+They reached the restaurant. It was warm and cozy. It smelled good. They sat at a table and ordered pizza and ice cream and toys. They ate and played and talked. They forgot about the rain. They had a good time. They loved the restaurant. They loved Mom and Dad. They loved each other.
+Lily was a cat who loved to play with her tail. She would chase it, catch it, and bite it. She thought her tail was the best toy ever. She did not need any other friends or toys.
+
+One day, a big dog came to her yard. He saw Lily playing with her tail and wanted to join. He ran to her and barked. Lily was scared and ran away. The dog chased her and tried to grab her tail. He was not nice. He wanted to hurt her.
+
+Lily ran and ran, but the dog was faster. He caught her tail and pulled hard. Lily cried and tried to get away. She felt a lot of pain. The dog let go of her tail, but it was too late. Her tail was broken. It hung limp and sad. Lily was poor. She lost her best toy and friend.
+
+Lily hid under a bush and licked her tail. She hoped it would get better, but it did not. She could not play with it anymore. She was lonely and sad. She wished she had someone to love her and make her feel better.
+
+One day, a boy came to her yard. He saw Lily under the bush and felt sorry for her. He called her and offered her some food. Lily was hungry and curious. She came out of the bush and sniffed the food. It smelled good. She ate it and felt happy. The boy smiled and petted her. He was gentle and kind. He saw her broken tail and said, "Poor kitty, what happened to your tail?"
+
+Lily meowed and rubbed her head against his hand. She liked him. He liked her too. He said, "Do you want to come home with me? I have a nice house and a warm bed. I will take care of you and love you. You can be my kitty." Lily purred and nodded. She wanted to go with him. She felt safe and loved. She did not need her tail anymore.

+Lily liked to paint. She had many colors and brushes. She painted flowers and trees and animals on paper. She was happy when she painted.

+One day, Lily wanted to paint on the wall. She thought it would be fun. She took a big brush and a red color. She painted a big heart on the wall. She smiled.
+
+But Mom saw the heart on the wall. She was angry. She said, "Lily, what did you do? You cannot paint on the wall. That is bad. You have to clean it now."
+
+Lily was sad. She did not want to clean the wall. She said, "But Mom, I love you. I painted a heart for you."
+
+Mom said, "I love you too, Lily. But you have to ask me before you paint on the wall. And you have to use a handle. A handle is a thing that you stick on the wall. It lets you hang your paper. Then you can paint on the paper and not on the wall."
+
+Lily said, "Oh, I see. I am sorry, Mom. I did not know. Can you show me how to use a handle?"
+
+Mom said, "Yes, I can. Come with me. I have some handles and paper and tape. We can make a place for you to paint on the wall. But first, we have to clean the heart."
+
+Lily said, "OK, Mom. I will help you. And then I will paint a new heart for you. On paper."
+
+Mom said, "Thank you, Lily. You are a good girl. I am not angry anymore. I am proud of you."
+
+They hugged and cleaned the wall. Then they made a place for Lily to paint. Lily painted a new heart for Mom. And Mom painted a star for Lily. They were happy.
+One day, a foolish rabbit was very thirsty. He saw a big lake with clear water. He wanted to drink some water. He did not see the big alligator that was hiding under the water.
+
+The alligator saw the rabbit and smiled. He thought, "What a tasty snack!" He waited for the rabbit to come closer. He did not make any noise.
+
+The rabbit hopped to the edge of the lake. He bent down to drink some water. He did not look around. He did not hear the splash.
+
+The alligator jumped out of the water and opened his big mouth. He tried to catch the rabbit. But the rabbit was very fast. He jumped back and ran away. He shouted, "Help! Help! There is an alligator in the lake!"
+
+The other animals heard the rabbit and came to see. They saw the alligator and laughed. They said, "You are very foolish, rabbit. You should not drink water from the alligator's lake. He will eat you. You should drink water from the stream. It is safe and clean."
+
+The rabbit felt very silly. He said, "I am sorry, I did not know. Thank you for saving me. I will not drink water from the alligator's lake again. I will drink water from the stream."
+
+The alligator was very angry. He said, "You are very lucky, rabbit. Next time, I will catch you. You will not escape from me."
+
+The rabbit did not listen to the alligator. He ran to the stream and drank some water. He was happy and safe. He learned his lesson. He was not foolish anymore.

+
+"I am sorry, Anna. I should not have tried to take the kite." Tom says.
+
+They hug. They are friends again. They play with the ball. They have fun.

+Lily and Max were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of fun making noises and pretending to be animals. Lily was a cat and Max was a dog. They chased each other around the sofa and the table.
+
+Suddenly, they heard a loud knock on the door. They stopped playing and looked at each other. Who could it be? They ran to the door and opened it. It was their daddy! He had a big smile on his face and a funny hat on his head. He was holding a big cake with candles on it.
+
+"Surprise!" he shouted. "Happy birthday, Lily and Max! You are both three years old today!"
+
+Lily and Max were very happy to see their daddy. They hugged him and thanked him for the cake. They were also very confused. They did not know it was their birthday. They did not know what a birthday was.
+

+
+Lily and Max smiled and nodded. They did not understand everything daddy said, but they liked the sound of cake and presents and fun. They followed daddy to the kitchen, where mommy was waiting for them. She also had a big smile on her face and a funny hat on her head. She gave them each a kiss and a hug.
+
+"Happy birthday, my sweet twins!" she said. "Are you ready to blow out the candles and make a wish?"
+
+Lily and Max nodded again. They did not know what a wish was, but they liked the idea of blowing out the candles. They stood on a chair and leaned over the cake. They saw their names and the number three written in frosting. They thought it was very pretty.
+
+"Ready, set, go!" daddy said. He lit the candles with a match and handed it to mommy. Lily and Max took a deep breath and blew as hard as they could. The candles went out and everyone clapped and cheered.
+
+"Yay! You did it!" mommy said. "Now, what did you wish for?"
+
+Lily and Max looked at each other. They did not know what to say. They did not make a wish. They did not know they had to. They felt a little silly.

+Sara and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a squirrel on a tree. The squirrel had a big tail and brown fur. Sara and Ben wanted to hug the squirrel. They ran to the tree and tried to climb it.
+
+"Come here, squirrel! We want to hug you!" Sara shouted.
+
+The squirrel was scared. It did not want to hug Sara and Ben. It ran to another tree. Sara and Ben followed it. They did not listen to their mom, who told them to be careful.
+
+The park was cold. The wind blew and the leaves fell. Sara and Ben were not wearing warm clothes. They started to shiver and sneeze.
+
+"Let's go home, Sara. I'm cold and tired." Ben said.
+
+"Me too. But I still want to hug the squirrel." Sara said.
+
+They saw the squirrel on a third tree. They ran to it again. But this time, the squirrel was angry. It threw a nut at Sara and Ben. The nut hit Sara on the head. She cried.
+
+"Ow! That hurt!" Sara said.
+
+"Are you okay, Sara?" Ben asked.
+
+"Yes, but I don't like the squirrel anymore. It's mean." Sara said.
+
+They ran back to their mom. She hugged them and gave them a tissue.
+
+"I'm sorry, mom. We were naughty. We chased the squirrel and it threw a nut at us." Ben said.
+
+"That's not nice, Ben. You should not chase animals. They are afraid of you. They need their space and respect." Mom said.
+
+"We know, mom. We learned our lesson. We won't chase animals anymore. We will only hug you and each other." Sara said.
+
+Mom smiled and kissed them.
+
+"That's good, Sara. I love you both. Now let's go home and have some hot chocolate. You need to warm up and rest." Mom said.

+Sara and Ben nodded. They held mom's hand and walked home. They learned that hugs are good, but only with people who want them. And that animals are not toys, but friends who need care.
+Tom and Sam were friends. They liked to play and have fun. One day, they went to the park. They saw a big pool. They wanted to swim.

+Sam looked at his body. He saw red and blue and green. He thought it was funny. He said: "I like the paint. I look different. I look cool."
+
+Tom did not think it was funny. He said: "No, you don't. You look silly. The paint is bad. It can hurt you. We have to get out."
+
+But Sam did not want to get out. He said: "No, I want to stay. I want to swim. I want to paint. You are boring. You are no fun."
+
+Tom and Sam started to fight. They pushed and pulled and yelled. They were not happy.
+
+Then, they heard a loud voice. It was the park man. He was angry. He said: "What are you doing? You are not supposed to swim in the pool. The pool has paint. The paint is not for you. The paint is for the pool. You are naughty. You are dirty. You have to pay for the paint. You have to go home."
+
+Tom and Sam were scared. They got out of the pool. They put on their clothes. They were wet and sticky and colorful. They looked at each other. They were not friends. They were sad.

+The moral of the story is: You should follow the rules. You should respect other people's things. You should listen to your friends. You should not fight. You should be careful. You should be good.
+Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park, draw pictures and share snacks. One day, they decided to play pretend. They found some flowers, a ring and a scarf.
+
+"Lily, you be the bride and I be the groom," Ben said. "We can marry and be happy."
+
+"OK, Ben, that sounds fun," Lily said. "But when do we marry?"
+
+Ben thought for a moment. He looked at the sky and saw the sun shining. He remembered what his mom had told him.
+
+"We marry on Sunday," he said. "Sunday is a special day. People go to church and wear nice clothes."
+
+Lily nodded. She wrapped the scarf around her head like a veil. She gave Ben a flower to put in his pocket. Ben slid the ring on her finger. It was too big, but they didn't mind.
+
+They held hands and walked around the park. They smiled and said hello to everyone they met. They felt powerful and happy. They were married, at least in their pretend game. And they loved each other very much.
+Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play in the garden. They had a big box full of toys, but their favorite was a red car with a horn. They would take turns to drive the car and honk the horn, pretending to be powerful drivers.

+One day, they saw a big ant hill near the fence. They were curious and wanted to see the ants. They left the car on the grass and crawled to the ant hill. They watched the ants carrying bits of food and leaves. They thought the ants were very busy and clever.
+
+"Can we touch them?" Sam asked.
+
+"No, they might bite us," Tim said.
+
+But Sam did not listen. He reached out his hand and poked the ant hill. Suddenly, hundreds of ants came out and crawled all over his hand. Sam screamed and shook his hand, but the ants did not let go. They bit him hard and made him cry.
+
+Tim ran to the car and honked the horn. He hoped the horn would scare the ants away. He also wanted to call their mom, who was inside the house. He honked the horn louder and louder, until their mom heard it and came out.
+
+She saw Sam crying and covered with ants. She quickly brushed the ants off and took him inside. She put some cream on his bites and gave him a hug. She was angry with Sam for poking the ant hill, but also glad he was not hurt badly.
+
+She told Tim to put the car back in the box and come inside. She said they could not play in the garden anymore today. She said they had to learn to respect the ants and their home.
+
+Tim felt sorry for Sam and for the ants. He realized the ants were powerful too, in their own way. He decided to leave them alone and play with something else. He hoped Sam would feel better soon and they could play with the car again. He liked the car and the horn, but he liked his brother more.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the kitchen. They saw a big jar of sauce on the shelf. They wanted to taste it.
+
+"Let's open it," Ben said.
+
+"OK," Lily said.
+
+They climbed on a chair and reached for the jar. But the jar was too heavy. It slipped from their hands and fell on the floor. The sauce splashed everywhere.
+
+"Oh no!" Lily and Ben said.
+
+They heard their mom coming. They were scared. They hid under the table.
+
+"What happened here?" Mom asked. She saw the broken jar and the sauce mess. She looked under the table and saw Lily and Ben.
+
+"Did you do this?" Mom asked.
+
+Lily and Ben nodded. They felt guilty.
+
+"Come out," Mom said. "You have to clean this up."
+
+Lily and Ben came out. They said sorry to Mom.
+
+"It's OK," Mom said. "But you have to be careful. And you have to ask before you touch things."
+
+Lily and Ben agreed. They helped Mom clean the sauce. They learned their lesson. They surrendered the jar.
+Tom and Mia were friends who liked to play in the woods. They had a hut made of sticks and leaves where they kept their toys and snacks. One day, they decided to go to the hut and have a picnic.
+
+"Look, I have some cookies and juice for us," Mia said, showing Tom her backpack.
+
+"Yum, that excites me!" Tom said, smiling. "Let's go to the hut and eat them."
+
+They walked to the hut, holding hands. They saw a big bird sitting on the roof of the hut. It had black feathers and a yellow beak. It was making loud noises.
+
+"Wow, what is that?" Tom asked, pointing at the bird.
+
+"I don't know, but it scares me," Mia said, hiding behind Tom. "It looks angry."
+
+The bird saw them and flew down from the roof. It landed in front of the hut and blocked the door. It flapped its wings and opened its beak.
+
+"Go away, this is my hut now!" the bird said, in a harsh voice.
+
+"No, this is our hut, we made it!" Tom said, bravely. "You can't have it!"
+
+The bird hissed and pecked at Tom. Tom dodged and threw a stick at the bird. The bird dodged and threw a leaf at Tom. They started a fight.
+
+Mia was worried. She didn't want Tom or the bird to get hurt. She had an idea. She took out a cookie from her backpack and waved it in the air.
+
+"Hey, bird, look what I have!" she said, in a sweet voice. "A yummy cookie! Do you want it?"
+
+The bird stopped fighting and looked at the cookie. It smelled good. It wanted it.
+
+"Yes, I want it!" the bird said, in a greedy voice. "Give it to me!"
+
+"OK, but you have to do something for me first," Mia said, smartly. "You have to leave our hut and let us in. Then I will give you the cookie."
+
+The bird thought for a moment. It wanted the cookie more than the hut. It agreed.
+
+"Fine, I will leave your hut and let you in. But hurry up and give me the cookie!" the bird said, impatiently.
+
+Mia nodded and threw the cookie to the bird. The bird caught it and flew away, happily. Tom and Mia ran to the hut and opened the door. They hugged each other and smiled.
+
+"We did it, we got our hut back!" Tom said, proudly.
+

+
+Lily was sad. She cried. She wanted her helmet back. Ben was angry. He said, "Give it back. You are a bully."
+
+The big boy said, "No. I will eat it. It looks yummy." He pretended to bite the helmet. He made loud noises.
+
+Ben and Lily were scared. They ran to their mom. They told her what happened. Mom was upset. She said, "That is not nice. He should not do that. Let's go get your helmet."
+
+They went to the trash. They saw the helmet. It was dirty and smelly. They washed it with water. They put it back on Lily's head.
+
+Lily smiled. She said, "Thank you, Ben. Thank you, Mom. You are the best."
+
+Ben hugged her. He said, "You are welcome, Lily. You are my sister. I love you."
+

+They got on their bikes and rode home. They were happy. The big boy was miserable. He had no friends. He had no cookies. He had a bad taste in his mouth.
+Tom and Mia were playing with their toy ship in the garden. They liked to pretend they were pirates and sail to different islands. They made a map with crayons and paper and followed it to find treasure.
+
+"Look, Mia, the map says we have to roll the ship down the hill to reach the island with the palm trees," Tom said, pointing to the drawing.
+
+"Okay, Tom, let's do it. But be careful, the hill is steep and bumpy," Mia said, holding the ship with both hands.

+Tim and Lily were friends who liked to play at the park. They saw a big slide that looked fun. Tim ran to the slide and climbed up the ladder. Lily followed him, but she was scared.
+
+"Come on, Lily, slide with me!" Tim said.
+
+"I don't know, Tim, it's too high and fast," Lily said.
+
+"Don't be a baby, Lily, it's easy and fun. Watch me!" Tim said. He slid down the slide and laughed. He landed on the grass and got up.
+
+"See, Lily, it's not scary. It's like being an otter in the water. Otters love to slide," Tim said.
+
+Lily looked at the slide and the otter picture on the wall. She wanted to be brave like Tim and like an otter. She took a deep breath and slid down the slide. She felt the wind in her hair and the sun on her face. She smiled and giggled. She landed on the grass and got up.
+
+"Wow, Lily, you did it! You're an otter too!" Tim said.

+They saw a lady with a basket of flowers walking by. The lady smiled and gave them each a flower. She said, "You're such good friends. I'm happy to see you enjoy the slide and the park. Here, take these flowers. They're fragile, so be gentle with them. They're a gift from nature, like you."
+

+Anna liked to fold paper. She made paper hats, paper boats, paper flowers and paper animals. She liked to give them to her friends and family. She was very good at folding paper.
+
+One day, she went to the park with her mom and dad. She saw a big mushroom under a tree. It was white and round and had red spots. It looked like a paper hat. Anna wanted to fold it.
+
+She ran to the mushroom and touched it. It was soft and wet. She tried to fold it, but it broke. She was sad. She heard a voice.
+
+"Hey, what are you doing?" The voice came from the mushroom. Anna was surprised. She looked at the mushroom. It had a face. It had eyes, a nose, a mouth and ears. It was not a mushroom. It was a fairy.
+
+"I'm sorry, I thought you were a paper hat," Anna said.
+
+"A paper hat? How silly. I'm a fairy. My name is Ruby. And you are very rude. You broke my house," the fairy said.
+
+"Your house? This is your house?" Anna asked.
+
+"Yes, this is my house. I live in this mushroom. It's very cozy and attractive. Or it was, until you came along and ruined it," the fairy said.
+
+"I'm sorry, I didn't know. I like to fold paper. I can make you a new house. A paper house. Do you want a paper house?" Anna offered.
+
+"A paper house? Hmm, that sounds interesting. Can you make it look like a mushroom?" the fairy asked.
+
+"Yes, I can. I can make it any shape and color you want. Come, I'll show you," Anna said.
+
+She took the fairy to her mom and dad. They had a picnic basket with some paper and crayons. Anna told them about the fairy and asked them to help her make a paper house. They agreed. They were curious and kind.
+
+They worked together and made a beautiful paper house. It looked like a mushroom, but bigger and brighter. It had windows and doors and flowers. The fairy was happy.

+Tim and Sam were brothers who liked to play in the park. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big stuffed leopard. They named him Leo and took him everywhere. They were very spoiled and did not like to share Leo with anyone.
+
+One day, they met a girl named Mia in the park. She saw Leo and wanted to play with him. She asked Tim and Sam nicely, but they said no. They said Leo was theirs and they did not need any friends. Mia felt sad and walked away.
+
+Tim and Sam decided to play a game with Leo. They would hide him somewhere in the park and then count to ten. Whoever found him first would win. They took turns hiding and counting, but they always cheated. They peeked or ran before ten. They did not have much fun.
+
+The last time, Sam hid Leo behind a big tree. He ran back to Tim and said, "Ready, set, go!" Tim counted to ten very fast and ran to the tree. But when he got there, Leo was gone. He looked around and saw Mia holding Leo. She smiled and said, "I found him! He was lonely and wanted a friend. Can I play with you?"
+
+Tim and Sam felt angry and ran to Mia. They tried to grab Leo from her, but she held him tight. They shouted and pulled, but she did not let go. They made a lot of noise and attracted a crowd.

+
+Tim and Sam felt ashamed and sorry. They realized they had been selfish and rude. They apologized to Mia and asked her to be their friend. They gave her Leo and said she could play with him.

+Sam and Mia liked to play on the beach. They made sand castles and looked for shells. One day, they saw a big jellyfish in the water. It was pink and shiny and had long tentacles.
+
+"Wow, look at that jellyfish!" Sam said. "It's so pretty. I want to touch it."
+
+"No, Sam, don't touch it!" Mia said. "It can hurt you. It can sting you with its tentacles. Mommy told us to stay away from jellyfish."
+
+"But I want to see it closer. It won't hurt me. I'm brave." Sam said. He ran towards the water.
+
+"Sam, stop!" Mia shouted. She ran after him. She was scared for him.
+
+Sam reached the water and bent down to touch the jellyfish. But before he could, he felt a sharp pain in his hand. He screamed and pulled back his hand. It was red and swollen. The jellyfish had stung him.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" Sam cried. "It hurts so much. Help me, Mia!"
+
+Mia ran to him and hugged him. She saw his hand and felt sorry for him. She said, "I'm sorry, Sam. You should have listened to me. You should have been honest. You were not brave. You were silly. Come on, let's go to Mommy. She will make it better."
+
+She helped him get up and they walked to their mom. She saw them and asked, "What happened? What's wrong?"
+
+Mia told her what happened. She said, "Sam touched a jellyfish and it stung him. He was not honest. He was silly."
+
+Mom said, "Oh, Sam, that was not a good idea. Jellyfish are dangerous. You should never touch them. You should always be honest and listen to your sister. She cares for you. Come here, let me see your hand. I have some cream that will help."
+
+She took out a tube of cream from her bag and applied it to Sam's hand. She said, "This will make it feel better. But you have to be careful next time. Do you understand?"
+
+Sam nodded. He said, "I'm sorry, Mom. I'm sorry, Mia. I was not honest. I was silly. I won't touch jellyfish again. I love you."
+
+Mom and Mia smiled. They said, "We love you too, Sam. We're glad you're okay. Now, let's go and complete our sand castle. It's almost done."
+
+They went back to their sand castle and finished it. They put shells and seaweed on it. They were happy and proud. They had fun on the beach. They learned a lesson. They were honest and careful. They were a good family.
+Sam and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big pile of leaves. They wanted to jump in it and have fun.
+
+"Let's go, Lily!" Sam said. He ran to the pile and jumped in. He laughed and threw leaves in the air.
+
+Lily followed him. She jumped in too. She smiled and made a leaf angel.
+
+But then they smelled something bad. Very bad. They looked around and saw a wrap on the ground. It was brown and green and had flies on it. It was disgusting.
+
+"Yuck!" Sam said. He got out of the pile. He felt sick.
+
+"Me too!" Lily said. She got out too. She felt sick.
+
+They ran to their mom. She was sitting on a bench. She saw them and was worried.
+
+"What's wrong, kids?" she asked.
+
+"We found a disgusting wrap in the leaves!" Sam said.
+
+"It smelled bad!" Lily said.
+
+"Oh, no!" mom said. "That's not good. Come here, let me see you."
+
+She hugged them and checked them. They were not hurt, but they were dirty.
+
+"Let's go home and clean up," she said. "And then we can have some cookies and milk."
+
+"Okay, mom," Sam and Lily said.
+
+They walked to the car. Mom lay the wrap in a trash can on the way. She did not want anyone else to find it.
+
+They were happy to leave the park. They did not like the disgusting wrap. They liked cookies and milk better.
+Tom and Lisa were playing in the park. They liked to pretend they were cowboys and cowgirls. They had hats, boots and pistols made of plastic. They ran around, chasing each other and saying "bang, bang!"
+
+One day, they saw a new boy sitting on a bench. He looked sad and lonely. He had no toys and no friends. Tom and Lisa felt sorry for him. They decided to be compassionate and share their pistols with him.
+
+"Hi, what's your name?" Tom asked the new boy.
+
+"Sam," he said in a low voice.
+
+"Do you want to play with us?" Lisa asked. "We have pistols. You can pick one."
+
+Sam looked at them with surprise and gratitude. He nodded and smiled. He picked a red pistol and followed Tom and Lisa to the playground. They taught him how to play cowboys and cowgirls. They had a lot of fun together.

+Lily liked to imagine that she was a princess. She had a pink dress, a crown, and a wand. She pretended that she had a big castle, a horse, and many friends. She felt happy when she imagined.
+
+One day, she wanted to show her mom her dress and wand. She ran to the kitchen, where her mom was cooking. She said, "Look, mom, I am a princess!" She waved her wand and smiled.
+
+But her mom was busy and tired. She did not look at Lily. She said, "Not now, Lily. I have to make dinner. Go play somewhere else." She sounded angry.
+
+Lily felt sad and weak. She did not understand why her mom did not care. She thought her mom did not love her. She ran to her room and cried. She threw her dress and wand on the floor. She did not want to imagine anymore.
+
+She did not have success. She had a bad ending.

+
+"Look at our pit!" Ben said. "It is the best pit ever!"
+
+"Yes, it is!" Mia agreed. "But we have to be careful. We don't want to fall in the pit."
+
+They put a stick in the sand next to the pit. The stick had a red cloth tied to it. The cloth was a flag. The flag meant that the pit was there and that they had to be careful.
+
+"Let's pretend that the pit is a restaurant," Mia said. "We can serve food to our toys."
+
+"OK!" Ben said. "That sounds fun!"
+
+They got their toys and put them around the pit. They had a teddy bear, a doll, a truck and a dinosaur. They used leaves and stones and flowers as food. They took turns to serve the food to their toys.
+
+"Here you go, teddy bear," Mia said. "This is a leaf salad. It is very yummy."
+
+"Thank you, Mia," the teddy bear said. Mia made the teddy bear talk with her voice.
+
+"Here you go, dinosaur," Ben said. "This is a stone burger. It is very crunchy."
+
+"Thank you, Ben," the dinosaur said. Ben made the dinosaur talk with his voice.
+
+They had a lot of fun serving food to their toys. They were careful not to fall in the pit. They were happy and proud of their pit. They played until it was time to go home.
+Tom and Sam were brothers who liked to play army. They had toy guns and helmets and pretended to be soldiers. One day, Tom decided he wanted to be the leader and give orders to Sam.
+
+"Sam, you have to march with me and do what I say. I am the captain and you are the soldier. March, march, march!" Tom shouted.
+
+Sam did not like Tom's orders. He wanted to play his own way and have fun. He felt uncomfortable in his helmet and gun. He did not want to march all the time.
+
+"Tom, I don't want to march. I want to play something else. Can we be pirates or astronauts or cowboys?" Sam asked.
+
+"No, Sam. You have to march and follow my orders. That's what soldiers do. If you don't march, you are not a good soldier. You are a bad brother. March, march, march!" Tom yelled.
+
+Sam felt sad and angry. He did not like Tom's words. He did not think Tom was a good leader or a good brother. He wanted to stop playing with Tom.
+
+"Tom, you are not a nice captain. You are a mean boss. You don't care about me or my feelings. You only care about yourself and your orders. I don't want to play with you anymore. I am going to play with someone else who is kind and fun. Goodbye, Tom!" Sam said.
+
+He took off his helmet and gun and ran away. Tom was left alone with his orders. He realized he had made a mistake. He had hurt his brother and lost his friend. He felt sorry and lonely.
+
+"Sam, wait! Come back! I'm sorry, Sam. I was wrong. I don't want to be a mean boss. I want to be a good brother. I want to play with you and have fun. Can we play something else? Can we be pirates or astronauts or cowboys? Please, Sam, please!" Tom cried.
+
+But Sam did not hear him. He had found another friend who was kind and fun. He was happy and free. Tom learned a lesson. He learned that being a leader is not about giving orders and making people uncomfortable. It is about caring and listening and sharing. He hoped Sam would forgive him and play with him again. He hoped he could be a good brother and a good friend.

+
+One day, Tom and Mia find a big car in the garage. It is their dad's car. It is shiny and red. It has a motor that makes a loud noise when dad turns it on. Tom and Mia want to see the motor. They open the door and climb inside the car.
+
+They look at the buttons and the wheel and the mirrors. They see a handle that says hood. Tom pulls the handle. The hood pops open. Tom and Mia get out of the car and go to the front. They see the motor under the hood. It is black and dirty and has many wires and pipes.
+
+Tom and Mia are curious. They touch the motor. It is cold and hard. They pull some wires. They hear a click. They see a spark. They smell smoke. They get scared. They run away from the car.
+
+Dad comes to the garage. He sees the smoke and the open hood. He sees Tom and Mia hiding behind a box. He is angry and worried. He asks them what they did. Tom and Mia are sorry. They tell him they wanted to see the motor. They mention they pulled some wires. They say they are sorry.
+
+Dad sighs. He tells them they should never touch the car without him. He tells them the car is dangerous and they could get hurt. He tells them the motor is not a toy and they should not play with it. He tells them they are lucky nothing bad happened. He tells them to be safe and careful.
+
+Tom and Mia nod. They say they understand. They say they are sorry again. They hug dad. Dad hugs them back. He tells them he loves them. He tells them to go play with their cars in the living room. He tells them he will fix the car. He closes the hood and goes to get his tools.
+Ben and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. They had cars, dolls, blocks and books. They liked to make up stories and pretend they were different people. Ben was a firefighter and Lily was a doctor.
+
+"Help, help!" Ben shouted. "There is a fire in the house! I need to save the people and the animals!"
+
+"Don't worry, Ben!" Lily said. "I am a doctor and I can help them. I have a bag with bandages, medicine and gum."
+
+"Gum?" Ben asked. "Why do you have gum?"
+
+Lily smiled. "Gum is good for many things. It can make you happy, it can make bubbles, and it can stick things together. See?" She took out a piece of gum and chewed it. Then she blew a big bubble and popped it.
+
+Ben laughed. "That's funny, Lily. But how can gum help the people and the animals in the fire?"
+
+Lily thought for a moment. Then she said, "Well, maybe we can use the gum to cover the fire and make it stop. Or maybe we can use the gum to make a rope and pull the people and the animals out. Or maybe we can use the gum to make a sign and call for help."
+
+Ben nodded. "Those are good ideas, Lily. You are very smart and dependable. You are a good doctor."
+
+Lily smiled. "Thank you, Ben. You are very brave and dependable. You are a good firefighter."
+
+They hugged each other and continued to play. They were having so much fun that they did not notice that it was getting dark outside. They did not hear their mom calling them for dinner. They did not see their dad coming home from work. They only heard their own voices and their own laughter.
+
+But soon they started to feel tired. Their eyes became heavy and their mouths became wide. They began to yawn. They put their toys away and crawled into their bed. They snuggled under their blanket and closed their eyes.
+
+"Good night, Ben," Lily said.
+
+"Good night, Lily," Ben said.
+
+They fell asleep, dreaming of fire, gum and adventure.
+Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big, modern swing. It has a long, red whip that you can hang on. Anna and Ben want to try it.
+
+"Can I go first?" Anna asks.
+
+"OK, but be careful," Ben says.
+
+Anna runs to the swing. She grabs the whip and hangs on. She feels the wind in her hair. She laughs and says, "This is fun!"
+
+Ben waits for his turn. He watches Anna swing high and low. He claps and says, "You are good!"
+
+Anna stops the swing. She jumps off and says, "Thank you! Now it's your turn!"
+
+Ben runs to the swing. He grabs the whip and hangs on. He tries to swing high and low. But he is not as good as Anna. He swings too fast and loses his grip. He falls to the ground and says, "Ouch!"
+
+Anna runs to Ben. She sees that he has a scrape on his knee. She says, "Are you OK?"
+
+Ben nods and says, "I'm OK. But that swing is too hard for me."
+
+Anna hugs Ben and says, "Don't worry. You can try again later. Or we can play something else."
+
+Ben smiles and says, "OK. You are a good friend."
+
+Anna and Ben hold hands and walk to the slide. They play and have fun. They like the park. They like the swing. But they like each other more.
+Lily loved to read books. She had many books in her room. She liked to read them before she slept. She would pick a book and sit on her mattress. Her mattress was soft and cozy. It was perfect for reading.
+
+One night, she chose a book about animals. She opened the book and saw pictures of lions, monkeys, elephants and more. She read the words under the pictures. She learned their names and sounds. She was happy and curious.
+
+She wanted to share her book with someone. She called her mom. "Mom, come and see my book! It has animals!" she said.
+
+Mom came to her room. She smiled and sat next to Lily on the mattress. "What a nice book, Lily. Do you want to read it to me?" she asked.
+
