But you have to keep your promise. You have to come back and help me with the laundry. Do you understand?" she said. + +Lily and Max nodded and smiled. They said, "Yes, Mom, we understand. We will keep our promise. We will come back and help you with the laundry." + +They kissed Mom and ran outside. They were happy and eager to play. They hoped Mom would not forget their promise. They did not want to miss the fun. +Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play outside. They saw a big tree with many branches and leaves. They wanted to climb the tree and see the sky. + +"Can we climb the tree, please?" Lily asked Tom. + +"Okay, but be careful. The tree is very high and the branches are not strong," Tom said. + +They climbed the tree slowly and carefully. They reached a big branch and sat on it. They looked at the sky and the birds. They felt happy and proud. + +"Look, I can see our house from here!" Lily said. + +"Me too! And I can see the park and the road and the cars!" Tom said. + +They smiled and waved at each other. They did not see the cut on the branch. The cut was made by a man who wanted to cut the tree. The cut was deep and made the branch weak. + +Suddenly, the branch broke and Lily and Tom fell down. They screamed and cried. They hurt their arms and legs and heads. They were very scared and sad. + +The man who cut the tree heard the noise and ran to see what happened. He saw Lily and Tom on the ground. He felt sorry and guilty. He called for help and tried to comfort them. + +"I'm so sorry, kids. I didn't know you were in the tree. I was supposed to cut the tree today. It was not organized. I should have checked first," he said. + +But Lily and Tom did not listen to him. They only felt pain and anger. They wished they never climbed the tree. They wished they stayed on the ground and played with their toys. They learned a hard lesson. Climbing the tree was not a good idea. It was a bad ending. +Lily liked to play with her tube. It was a big tube that she could crawl inside and pretend it was a tunnel or a cave. She liked to make noises and hide from her mom and dad in the tube. + +One day, Lily took her tube to the park with her mom. She wanted to show it to her friends and have fun. She put the tube on the grass and ran to the swings. She forgot to watch her tube. + +A big dog came to the park. He saw the tube and thought it was a toy. He grabbed the tube with his teeth and ran away. He wanted to chew it and play with it. + +Lily came back from the swings and looked for her tube. She could not find it. She felt sad and angry. She missed her tube. She asked her mom where it was. Her mom said she did not know. She said maybe someone took it or it rolled away. + +Lily and her mom looked around the park. They asked other people if they saw the tube. No one saw it. Lily started to cry. She was worried that she would never see her tube again. She wished she had watched her tube better. + +Then, they heard a loud bark. They saw the big dog running back to the park. He had the tube in his mouth. He dropped it on the grass and wagged his tail. He looked happy and proud. + +Lily ran to the tube and picked it up. She was so happy to see it. She hugged it and thanked the dog. The dog licked her face and barked again. He wanted to be her friend. + +Lily's mom smiled and said, "I'm glad you found your tube, Lily. But you should be more careful with your things. You don't want to lose them or let them get damaged. You should always keep an eye on them and put them away when you're done playing." + +Lily nodded and said, "I'm sorry, mom. You're right. I learned my lesson. I will take good care of my tube and my other toys. And I will share them with the dog. He is nice and he likes my tube too." + +The end. +Ben and Lily liked to swim in the pond near their house. The pond had many fish and frogs and ducks. They had fun splashing and playing in the water. + +One day, they saw a big sign near the pond. The sign said: "Do not swim here. The pond is dirty and sick. We need to restore it and make it clean and healthy again." + +Ben and Lily were sad. They wanted to swim in the pond. They did not like the sign. They thought it was silly and mean. + +They decided to swim in the pond anyway. They said: "We don't care about the sign. The pond looks fine to us. We are not afraid of a little dirt." + +They took off their clothes and jumped into the pond. The water was cold and dark. They felt something slimy and sticky on their skin. They smelled something bad and rotten in the air. They heard something loud and angry in the bushes. + +They looked around and saw a big, wide, scary crocodile. The crocodile was hungry and angry. It saw Ben and Lily and opened its mouth. It had many sharp teeth and a long tail. It swam fast towards them. + +Ben and Lily were scared. They screamed and tried to swim away. But it was too late. The crocodile caught them and ate them. + +The moral of the story is: Do not ignore signs that warn you of danger. They are there to protect you and the environment. Sometimes, things that look fine are not fine. Sometimes, things that are dirty and sick can hurt you. Listen to the people who know better and want to help. +Sara likes to polish her shoes. She does it every morning before she goes to school. She uses a soft cloth and a shiny tin. She rubs the cloth on the tin and then on her shoes. She makes them look very clean and bright. + +She is proud of her shoes. She thinks they are the best shoes in her school. She likes to show them to her friends and teachers. She says, "Look at my shoes! They are so shiny and pretty!" + +One day, she meets a new boy in her school. His name is Ben. He has very dirty shoes. They are brown and muddy. He does not polish them. He says, "I don't care about my shoes. They are just for walking." + +Sara thinks he is very silly. She says, "You should polish your shoes. They will look nicer and you will feel happier." + +Ben says, "No, thank you. I have more interesting things to do. I like to read books and draw pictures and play games. Shoes are boring." + +Sara is surprised. She thinks books and pictures and games are interesting too. She says, "Maybe you are right. Maybe shoes are not the most important thing. Can I see your books and pictures and games?" + +Ben says, "Sure. Come with me. I will show you." + +Sara follows Ben. She forgets about her shoes. She sees his books and pictures and games. They are very interesting. She likes them. She says, "You are very smart and creative. I like your books and pictures and games." + +Ben says, "Thank you. You are very kind and friendly. I like your shoes too. They are very shiny and pretty." + +Sara and Ben smile. They become friends. They learn from each other. They have fun. They polish their shoes sometimes, but not always. They have more interesting things to do. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a ball and a kite. They have fun. + +One day, a big dog comes to the park. The dog is not nice. He barks and runs at Lily and Tom. He wants to take their ball and kite. Lily and Tom are scared. + +Lily has an idea. She has a sweet cookie in her pocket. She breaks the cookie in half. She gives one half to Tom. She says, "Let's prevent the dog from taking our things. Let's rub the cookie on the ball and the kite. Then the dog will smell the cookie and leave us alone." + +Tom likes the idea. He rubs the cookie on the ball. Lily rubs the cookie on the kite. They throw the ball and the kite far away. The dog smells the cookie. He runs after the ball and the kite. He forgets about Lily and Tom. + +Lily and Tom are happy. They hug each other. They say, "We are smart. We prevented the dog from taking our things. We still have our cookie. Let's share it and eat it. It is sweet and yummy." They eat the cookie and smile. They are friends. They have fun. +Ben and Jen were twins who liked to play outside. They had a big red ball that they kicked and threw to each other. One day, they saw a sign on a tree that said "Lost Dog". The sign had a picture of a brown dog with a blue collar. Ben and Jen felt sad for the poor dog and wanted to help. + +"Let's look for the dog, Jen," Ben said. "Maybe we can find him and take him back to his home." + +"OK, Ben," Jen said. "But we have to be careful. There are cars and big people on the street." + +They took their ball and walked around the block, looking for the dog. They did not see him anywhere. They were about to give up when they heard a bark from behind a fence. They ran to the fence and saw the brown dog with the blue collar. He was tied to a post and looked scared and hungry. + +"Look, Jen, it's the dog from the sign!" Ben said. "He's here, but he's not happy. We have to help him." + +They climbed over the fence and went to the dog. The dog wagged his tail and licked their faces. He was happy to see them. Ben and Jen untied him from the post and hugged him. + +"Come on, dog, we'll take you home," Jen said. "You don't have to be here anymore." + +They took the dog's collar and used it as a leash. They climbed back over the fence and walked to the tree with the sign. They saw a phone number on the sign and asked a big person to call it for them. The big person was nice and called the number. He told them that the dog's name was Spot and that his owner was looking for him. He said that the owner would come soon to get him. + +Ben and Jen waited with Spot under the tree. They played with him and gave him some water and snacks. They told him that they were sorry that he was lost and that they were glad that they found him. Spot barked and wagged his tail. He was happy and grateful. + +Soon, a car stopped by the tree. A man got out of the car and ran to them. He was Spot's owner. He hugged Spot and thanked Ben and Jen for finding him. He said that Spot had run away from his yard and that he had been looking for him for days. He said that he was very worried and that he loved Spot very much. + +Ben and Jen smiled and said that they were happy to help. They said that they liked Spot and that he was a good dog. They said goodbye to Spot and his owner and watched them drive away. They felt proud and happy. They had done a good thing. They took their ball and went back to their home. They had a new friend and a new story to tell. +Anna and her mom went to visit her dad at the hospital. He was a patient there because he hurt his leg. Anna was sad because she missed her dad and wanted him to come home. + +They walked down the hall and saw many rooms with beds and machines. Some people looked sick and some looked happy. Anna held her mom's hand and asked, "Where is dad?" + +Mom said, "He is in room 12. He is waiting for us. He will be happy to see you." + +They found room 12 and knocked on the door. Dad was lying on the bed with a big cast on his leg. He smiled when he saw Anna and her mom. He said, "Hello, my loves. I'm so glad you came to visit me." + +Anna ran to the bed and hugged her dad. She said, "I love you, dad. I'm sorry you hurt your leg. Does it hurt a lot?" + +Dad said, "I love you too, Anna. It hurts a little, but it will get better soon. The doctor said I can go home in a few days. Then we can play and read and watch movies together." + +Anna said, "That sounds fun, dad. Can I see your cast? It looks big and hard." + +Dad said, "Sure, you can see it. But be careful, don't touch it too hard. It's still healing. Do you want to sign your name on it?" + +Anna said, "Yes, please. Can I use a pink marker?" + +Dad said, "Of course. Here you go. You can write your name anywhere you want." + +Anna took the marker and wrote her name in small letters on the cast. She said, "There. Now everyone will know you are my dad." + +Dad said, "Thank you, Anna. That's very sweet of you. You are the best daughter in the world." + +Mom said, "You are both very brave and strong. I'm proud of you. Now, let's have some cookies and juice. The nurse brought some for us." + +Anna said, "Yay, cookies and juice. My favorite. Can I have one with chocolate chips?" + +Dad said, "Sure, you can have any one you want. You deserve a treat. You are such a good visitor." + +Anna said, "Thank you, dad. You are such a good patient. I hope you feel better soon. I love you." + +Dad said, "I love you too, Anna. And I love you, mom. You are the best family in the world." +Lily was a brave girl who liked to run and play. But one day, she fell down and hurt her knee. It was red and bleeding, and it gave her a lot of pain. She cried and cried, and her mom came to help her. + +Her mom cleaned her wound and put a bandage on it. She gave her a hug and a kiss, and told her to rest on the couch. She said that rest would make her knee heal faster. She also gave her a glass of water and a cookie, and turned on her favorite show. + +Lily felt a little better, but she was still sad. She wanted to go outside and play with her friends. She did not like to rest and miss the fun. She looked out the window and saw the sun shining and the birds singing. She wished she could join them. + +But then she heard a loud noise. It was a harsh noise, like a big truck or a plane. She saw a big cloud of smoke and dust in the sky. She heard people screaming and sirens wailing. She felt scared and confused. What was happening? + +Her mom came back and hugged her tight. She told her that there was an accident nearby, and that they had to stay inside. She said that they were safe, but that some people were hurt and needed help. She said that they had to be quiet and calm, and wait for the noise to stop. + +Lily felt sorry for the people who were hurt. She thought that they must have a lot of pain, more than her knee. She realized that she was lucky to have her mom and her home. She decided that rest was not so bad, after all. She snuggled with her mom and watched her show. She hoped that the people who were hurt would get better soon. She thanked her mom for taking care of her. She closed her eyes and rested. +Lily and Ben were excited to make cookies with Mom. They helped Mom mix the flour, sugar, butter and eggs in a big bowl. Then they rolled the dough and cut out shapes with cookie cutters. Mom put the cookies in the oven and told them to wait. + +Lily and Ben waited and waited. They smelled the cookies and their mouths watered. They wanted to taste the cookies so much. They saw Mom go to the bathroom and had an idea. + +"Let's sneak a cookie!" Lily whispered to Ben. + +"OK!" Ben whispered back. They tiptoed to the oven and opened the door. The cookies were hot and golden. They reached for a cookie, but it was too hot. They dropped the cookie and it broke on the floor. + +"Ow! Ow! Ow!" they cried, shaking their hands. + +Mom heard the noise and came back. She saw the broken cookie and the open oven. She was not happy. + +"What are you doing?" she asked. "You could have burned yourselves! And you ruined a cookie!" + +Lily and Ben felt sorry. They hung their heads and said, "We're sorry, Mom. We just wanted to taste the cookies." + +Mom sighed and hugged them. She said, "I know you were excited, but you have to be patient and careful. The cookies are not ready yet. They need to cool down. Then we can taste them together, OK?" + +Lily and Ben nodded and said, "OK, Mom. We love you." + +Mom smiled and said, "I love you too. Now let's clean up this mess and wait for the cookies." +Tom and Anna liked to play with their toy trains. They had a big engine that made noise and smoke, and many cars that they could hook together. They liked to make the engine go fast around the track, and pretend they were going to different places. + +One day, it was very cold outside, and the window was icy. Tom and Anna wanted to see the snow, so they moved their track near the window. They put on their hats and scarves, and started to play with their engine. + +"Choo choo!" said Tom, making the engine sound. "We are going to the mountains!" + +"Can I be the driver?" asked Anna, holding the controller. + +"OK, but be careful," said Tom. "The track is icy, too. Don't make the engine go too fast, or it might slip." + +Anna nodded, and pressed the button. The engine started to move, slowly at first, then faster and faster. Anna liked to see the engine zoom around the track, and the snowflakes on the window. + +"Look, Tom, it's so fun!" she said, smiling. + +But Tom was worried. He saw the engine go faster and faster, and he saw the icy curve ahead. He tried to warn Anna, but it was too late. + +"Anna, stop! The engine is going to slip!" he shouted. + +But Anna did not hear him. She pressed the button harder, and the engine went even faster. It reached the curve, and then it slipped. It flew off the track, and crashed into the window. The window broke, and the engine fell outside, into the snow. + +Tom and Anna gasped. They ran to the window, and saw their engine lying in the snow, broken and silent. They felt very sad, and very cold. + +They wished they had listened to Tom, and not made the engine go too fast on the icy track. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. The park has a lot of space. They can run, jump, and slide. They enjoy the park very much. + +One day, they see a new thing in the park. It is a long, shiny rocket. It has a door and a window. Tom and Mia are curious. They want to see the rocket. + +"Can we go inside?" Tom asks Mia. + +"Let's try!" Mia says. They hold hands and walk to the rocket. They push the door. It opens. They go inside. + +The rocket is cool. It has buttons, lights, and screens. Tom and Mia pretend they are astronauts. They say, "Blast off! We are going to space!" + +They have fun in the rocket. They enjoy their adventure. They are happy. +Lily and Max liked to play in the bath. They had many toys that could float and splash. They also had a big yellow duck that could squirt water. Lily and Max laughed and had fun. + +But one day, the duck stopped squirting water. Lily and Max tried to squeeze it, but nothing came out. They looked at the duck and saw a hole in its belly. The water had gone out of the hole and into the drain. The drain was a hole in the bath that made the water go away. + +Lily and Max were sad. They loved their duck and wanted it to squirt water again. They asked their mom if she could fix it. Mom said it was difficult to fix a hole in a duck. She said they could try to use some tape, but it might not work. + +Lily and Max decided to try. They got some tape from mom and wrapped it around the duck's belly. They hoped the tape would stop the water from going out. They put the duck back in the bath and filled it with water. They squeezed the duck and waited. + +But the tape did not work. The water still went out of the hole and into the drain. The duck did not squirt water. Lily and Max were very sad. They did not want to play in the bath anymore. They took out their toys and settled for a quick wash. They said goodbye to their duck and hoped it would be happy in the drain. +Sara was a normal girl who liked to play with her toys and eat grapes. She had a big dream: she wanted to fly like a bird. She asked her mom, "Mom, can I fly?" + +Her mom smiled and said, "No, Sara, you can't fly. Only birds and planes can fly. You are a girl, and girls have feet, not wings." + +Sara was sad. She wanted to fly so much. She thought, maybe if I eat a lot of grapes, I will grow wings. Grapes are purple, and purple is a magic color. She went to the kitchen and found a big bowl of grapes. She ate and ate and ate, until she felt very full. + +She ran to the backyard and jumped in the air. She flapped her arms and shouted, "I can fly, I can fly!" But she fell down on the grass. She did not fly. She only hurt her knee. + +Her mom came and hugged her. She said, "Sara, I'm sorry, but eating grapes won't make you fly. Grapes are good for you, but they are not magic. You are a normal girl, and normal girls can't fly. But you know what? Normal girls can do many other things. They can run, and sing, and draw, and read, and laugh, and love. And they can pretend to fly, with their imagination. Do you want to pretend with me?" + +Sara nodded. She wiped her tears and smiled. She said, "Yes, mom, I want to pretend. Let's fly together!" She took her mom's hand and they ran around the backyard, flapping their arms and making bird noises. They had fun and felt happy. They did not fly, but they felt like they did. +Timmy loved planes. He was very enthusiastic about them. He had many toy planes in his room. He liked to make them fly and zoom in the air. He dreamed of being a pilot one day. + +One day, his mom took him to the airport. She had a surprise for him. She knew a pilot who worked there. He was her friend. He said he could show Timmy a real plane. Timmy was very happy and excited. + +They went to the hangar where the plane was. The pilot was very nice. He let Timmy sit in the cockpit. He showed him the buttons and the levers. He told him what they did. Timmy felt like he was flying. + +But then, Timmy saw something shiny. It was a pin. It was stuck in a wire. Timmy was curious. He wanted to touch it. He reached for it. He did not know it was dangerous. He did not know it was a part of the plane's engine. + +He pulled the pin out. He pinched it between his fingers. He heard a loud noise. He saw sparks and smoke. He felt heat and pain. He screamed. The pilot screamed. The plane was on fire. Timmy had made a big mistake. He had broken the plane. He had hurt himself and the pilot. He was very sorry. He wished he had not touched the pin. He wished he had listened to the pilot. He wished he could fly away. But it was too late. The end. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big truck. The truck has many vegetables. Carrots, tomatoes, potatoes, and more. + +"Wow, look at all the vegetables!" Lily says. "They are so colorful and fresh." + +"I bet they are yummy, too," Ben says. "Do you like vegetables, Lily?" + +"Yes, I do. I like carrots the best. They are crunchy and sweet. What about you, Ben?" + +"I like tomatoes the best. They are juicy and sour. Do you want to race to the truck and see who can get a vegetable first?" + +"Okay, let's race. On your mark, get set, go!" + +Lily and Ben run as fast as they can. They are very excited. They want to get a vegetable. But they do not see the man who drives the truck. He is angry. He does not want them to touch his vegetables. + +"Hey, you kids, stop! These are my vegetables. I worked hard to grow them. I sell them to rich people who pay me a lot of money. You cannot have them for free. Go away!" + +Lily and Ben are scared. They stop running. They look at the man. He is big and loud. He has a mean face. + +"Sorry, mister," Lily says. "We did not know. We just wanted to see the vegetables. We like them a lot." + +"Yeah, sorry, mister," Ben says. "We did not mean to make you angry. We were just having fun. We like to race." + +The man looks at Lily and Ben. He sees that they are small and cute. He sees that they are sorry. He feels a little bad. He remembers that he was a kid once. He liked to play and race, too. + +"Okay, okay," he says. "I forgive you. But you have to promise me something. You have to promise me that you will eat your vegetables every day. They are good for you. They make you strong and healthy. Do you promise?" + +"Yes, we promise," Lily and Ben say. + +"Good. Then, as a reward, you can each have one vegetable. But only one. Choose wisely." + +Lily and Ben are happy. They thank the man. They look at the truck. They see so many vegetables. They have to think hard. Which one do they want? + +Lily picks a carrot. Ben picks a tomato. They smile at each other. They have their favorite vegetables. They are ready to race again. + +"Let's race to the swings and see who can eat their vegetable first," Lily says. + +"Okay, let's race. On your mark, get set, go!" + +Lily and Ben run as fast as they can. They are very happy. They have fun. They eat their vegetables. They are good kids. The end. +Lily and Ben were twins. They liked to play with their toy cars. One day, their dad said, "Do you want to go for a drive?" They said, "Yes, yes, yes!" + +Dad took them to the car and buckled them in. He drove for a long time. They saw many things. They saw cows, sheep, trees, and houses. They said, "Wow, wow, wow!" + +Then, dad stopped the car near a big field. He said, "Do you want to run in the field?" They said, "Yes, yes, yes!" They got out of the car and ran to the field. The field was green and soft. They saw flowers, bugs, and birds. They said, "Wow, wow, wow!" + +But then, Lily saw something else. She saw a pale boy sitting under a tree. He looked sad. She said, "Ben, look, a boy!" Ben said, "Let's go say hi!" They ran to the boy and said, "Hi, we are Lily and Ben. Do you want to play with us?" + +The boy looked up and smiled. He said, "Hi, I am Sam. I would love to play with you. Thank you for being nice to me." They played with their toy cars, made flower crowns, and chased the birds. They had a lot of fun. They said, "Wow, wow, wow!" +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big hill with a long road. They wanted to go down the road on their bikes. + +"Let's speed down the road!" Tom said. "It will be fun!" + +"OK!" Lily said. "But be careful. The road is busy." + +They got on their bikes and pedaled fast. They felt the wind in their hair and the sun on their faces. They laughed and shouted. + +But they did not see the big truck coming. The truck was very loud and very fast. It did not stop for the red light. It hit Tom and Lily on their bikes. + +Tom and Lily flew in the air. They felt a lot of pain. They saw a bright light. They heard a soft voice. + +"Hello, Tom and Lily. I am an angel. I am here to take you to heaven." + +"Where is heaven?" Tom asked. + +"Heaven is a place where you are happy and safe. There is no more pain or sadness. You can play with other angels and see your family again." + +"Can we go back to the park?" Lily asked. + +"No, you can't. You are not normal anymore. You are dead. The truck killed you. You have to come with me." + +Tom and Lily did not want to go with the angel. They wanted to stay in the park. They wanted to be normal. They wanted to live. But they had no choice. They had to follow the angel. They said goodbye to the park, to their bikes, to their friends, to their parents. They cried and cried. They were very sad. The end. +Lila liked to look at the stars at night. She wondered what was out there, beyond the sky. She asked her dad to tell her stories about the universe, the big place where the stars and planets lived. Her dad said he would give her a book with pictures and words about the universe, but he had to go to work first. + +The next day, Lila waited for her dad to come home. She wanted to see the book and learn more about the universe. She saw a big truck outside her house. It had a picture of a rocket on it. She ran outside to see what it was. + +"Hello, little girl," a man said. He was wearing a suit and a hat. He had a big smile. "Do you like rockets?" + +"Yes, I do," Lila said. "They go to the universe, right?" + +"That's right," the man said. "And I have a special offer for you. If you give me your dad's book, I will give you a ticket to ride on this rocket. You can see the universe for yourself. How does that sound?" + +Lila thought for a moment. She wanted to see the universe, but she also wanted to read the book with her dad. She looked at the man. He looked nice, but something felt wrong. + +"No, thank you," Lila said. "I want to keep the book. It is a gift from my dad. He will be home soon." + +The man frowned. He tried to grab the book from Lila's hands. "Don't be stupid, girl," he said. "This is a once in a lifetime chance. Give me the book, or you will regret it." + +Lila screamed. She held the book tight. She ran back to her house. She locked the door. She called her dad on the phone. She told him what happened. + +Her dad was angry. He said the man was a bad man. He said he was trying to steal the book. He said the book was very special. It had secrets about the universe that no one else knew. He said he would be home soon. He said he would call the police. + +Lila was scared. She hugged the book. She looked out the window. She saw the man get in the truck. He drove away. He looked angry. He looked stupid. + +Lila smiled. She was glad she did not give him the book. She was glad she listened to her dad. She was glad she had the book. She could not wait to read it with her dad. She could not wait to learn more about the universe. She loved the universe. She loved her dad. She loved the book. +Lily and Max were playing with their blocks in the living room. They liked to build towers and houses and cars with the blocks. They had many blocks of different colors and shapes. + +"Look, I made a big orange tower!" Lily said, showing Max her creation. + +"That's nice, but I made a better one!" Max said, pointing to his own tower. He had used more blocks than Lily and made his tower taller and wider. + +"No, mine is better!" Lily argued. She did not like that Max said his tower was better. She wanted to have the best tower. + +She reached out to grab some of Max's blocks, but he pushed her hand away. "No, those are mine! Don't touch them!" he shouted. + +Lily got angry and pushed Max's tower with both hands. The blocks fell down and scattered all over the floor. Some of them hit Max and made him cry. + +"Hey, stop that! You broke my tower!" Max yelled, rubbing his eyes. + +Their parent heard the noise and came to the living room. They saw the mess of blocks and the crying children. They were not happy. + +"What happened here?" their parent asked, frowning. + +"Lily pushed my tower and made it scatter!" Max said, pointing at Lily. + +"She said her tower was better than mine and tried to take my blocks!" Lily said, pointing at Max. + +Their parent sighed and shook their head. They knew that Lily and Max were both wrong. They had to learn to share and play nicely. + +"Both of you, say sorry to each other and pick up the blocks. Then you can play together again, but with respect and kindness. Do you understand?" their parent said, sternly. + +Lily and Max nodded and muttered "sorry" to each other. They did not like to fight, but they also did not like to lose. They hoped that next time they could have more fun with their blocks. +Ben and Lily liked to play with their toy cars. They had many cars of different colors and sizes. They liked to make them go fast on the floor and pretend they were in a race. + +One day, they decided to have a parade with their cars. They lined them up in a row and made noises like horns and sirens. They marched around the room with their cars, waving to their mom and dad. + +But then, Ben saw that Lily had more cars than him. He felt sad and angry. He wanted to have more cars too. He tried to take some of Lily's cars, but she said no. They started to fight and pull the cars. + +Mom and dad heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. They saw Ben and Lily crying and yelling. They asked them why they were fighting. + +Ben said, "Lily has more cars than me. It's not fair. I want more cars for the parade." + +Lily said, "Ben tried to take my cars. They are mine. I don't want to share." + +Mom and dad looked at the cars and saw that they had many cars. They said, "You have enough cars for both of you. You don't need to fight. You can share and have fun together. You can supply each other with cars and make a bigger parade." + +They helped Ben and Lily to calm down and say sorry to each other. They showed them how to share and trade the cars. They gave them some stickers and ribbons to decorate the cars. They said, "Now you have a beautiful parade. You can show us your cars and tell us their names and stories." + +Ben and Lily smiled and hugged each other. They thanked mom and dad for their help. They picked up their cars and continued their parade. They made them go fast and slow, loud and quiet, happy and silly. They had a lot of fun with their cars and with each other. +Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to pretend they were brave hunters. They had sticks for arrows and a big box for a bow. They looked for animals to shoot with their arrows. + +"Look, there is a rabbit!" Lily said, pointing to a brown furry thing under a bush. She took an arrow and aimed at it. + +"Wait, Lily, don't shoot!" Ben said. He ran to the bush and peeked behind it. He saw that the rabbit was not real. It was a toy with a broken ear. "This is not a rabbit, this is a toy. Someone left it here." + +Lily came to the bush and peeked too. She saw the toy rabbit and felt sorry for it. "Oh, poor toy. It has a broken ear. Maybe someone lost it and misses it." + +Ben nodded. He picked up the toy rabbit and hugged it. "Maybe we can take it home and fix it. Then we can find its owner and give it back." + +Lily smiled. She put down her arrow and hugged Ben and the toy rabbit. "That is a good idea, Ben. You are a kind hunter. Come on, let's go home and find some glue." +Sara and Tom were jolly twins who liked to play in the garden. They had a big sandbox where they made castles and roads and bridges. One day, they saw a shiny red truck on the shelf in the garage. They wanted to bring it to the sandbox and pretend it was a fire truck. + +"Can we have the truck, Mom?" they asked. + +"Sure, but be careful. It's very old and dusty. It was your grandpa's when he was a boy. He loved that truck very much," Mom said. + +Sara and Tom ran to the garage and took the truck. They wiped off some of the dust with their hands and carried it to the sandbox. They had so much fun making sirens and hoses and rescuing animals. They forgot about the time and the sun. + +"Look, the truck is sparkling!" Sara said. + +"It's not dust, it's glitter!" Tom said. + +They looked closer and saw that the truck had tiny stars and moons and hearts on it. They were amazed and happy. + +"Wow, this is a magic truck!" Sara said. + +"Maybe grandpa put the glitter on it for us," Tom said. + +They heard Mom calling them for lunch. They decided to leave the truck in the sandbox and come back later. + +But when they came back, the truck was gone. They looked everywhere, but they could not find it. They were sad and confused. + +"Where did it go?" Sara asked. + +"Maybe someone took it," Tom said. + +They ran to Mom and told her what happened. Mom hugged them and said, "Don't worry, my loves. Maybe the truck went back to grandpa. Maybe he missed it and wanted to play with it again. Maybe he will send it back to you someday, with more glitter and surprises." + +Sara and Tom felt a little better. They hoped that grandpa was happy with his truck, and that he would remember them. They went back to the sandbox and made a new castle. They left a space for the truck, just in case. +Lily liked purple. She had a purple dress, a purple hat, and a purple bike. She wanted to paint her room purple, too. But her mom said no. + +"Mom, please, can I paint my room purple?" Lily asked. + +"No, Lily, you can't. Purple is too dark for your room. It will make it look small and sad. How about yellow or pink?" Mom said. + +Lily refused. She did not like yellow or pink. She only liked purple. She crossed her arms and pouted. + +"Mom, purple is my favorite color. It makes me happy. It is the color of life. Flowers are purple, and grapes, and butterflies. Please, please, please, can I paint my room purple?" Lily begged. + +Mom sighed. She loved Lily, but she did not want to give in. She thought purple was too much for a little girl's room. She tried to explain. + +"Lily, I know you love purple, but you have to trust me. Purple is a nice color, but not for your room. It will make it hard to sleep and play. It will not match your other things. It will not look good. You can have purple things, but not a purple room. OK?" Mom said. + +Lily refused again. She did not care about matching or sleeping or playing. She only cared about purple. She started to cry. + +"Mom, you are mean. You don't love me. You don't let me have what I want. I want a purple room. I want a purple room. I want a purple room." Lily shouted. + +Mom felt sad. She did not want to make Lily cry. She did not want to be mean. She did love her. She wanted her to be happy. But she also wanted her to be reasonable. She hugged Lily and said. + +"Lily, I'm sorry. I'm not mean. I do love you. I do want you to be happy. But I also want you to be smart. Purple is not a good choice for your room. It is not good for your eyes or your mood. It is not good for your life. You can have a purple room when you are older, if you still want it. But for now, you have to pick another color. How about blue or green? They are also nice colors. They are the colors of the sky and the grass and the sea. They will make your room bright and calm and fun. How about that?" Mom said. + +Lily stopped crying. She looked at Mom. She saw that Mom was not mean. She saw that Mom loved her. She saw that Mom wanted her to be happy. She thought about blue and green. She liked them, too. They were also nice colors. They were also colors of life. She nodded and said. + +"OK, Mom. I'm sorry, too. I was silly. I don't need a purple room. I can have a blue or green room. They are also pretty. They will also make me happy. Thank you, Mom. I love you." Lily said. + +Mom smiled and kissed Lily. She was proud of Lily. She was glad that Lily was smart. She was happy that Lily was happy. She said. + +"I love you, too, Lily. You are a good girl. You are a smart girl. You are a happy girl. Come on, let's go and pick a color for your room. I'm sure it will look wonderful." Mom said. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play together. One day, they find a big box in the garage. They want to make a fort with the box. + +"Let's cut a door and a window in the box," says Anna. + +"OK, I will get the scissors," says Ben. + +They cut a door and a window in the box. They put a blanket on top of the box. They crawl inside the box. They pretend they are in a castle. + +"This is fun," says Ben. + +"Yes, it is," says Anna. + +They hear their mom calling them. It is time for lunch. + +"Come on, let's go," says Anna. + +They crawl out of the box. They part the blanket. They see their mom smiling at them. + +"Wow, you made a nice fort," says mom. + +"Thank you, mom," says Anna and Ben. + +They hug their mom. They are grateful for the box and the blanket. They are also grateful for their mom and each other. + +They go to the kitchen. They wash their hands. They sit at the table. They eat their lunch. They talk about their fort. They are happy. +Lily was a little girl who liked to play with her toys. She had a doll, a bear, a ball and a clock. The clock was her favorite toy, because it made a tick-tock sound and had a face with two hands. Lily liked to pretend that the clock was her friend, and she would talk to it and hug it. + +One day, Lily's mom said they had to go to the store. Lily wanted to bring her clock, but her mom said no. She said the clock was too big and heavy, and she might lose it or break it. Lily was sad, but she did what her mom said. She left her clock on her bed and went to the store with her mom. + +When they came back, Lily ran to her room to see her clock. But her clock was not there. Lily looked everywhere, but she could not find it. She asked her mom, but her mom did not know. She said maybe someone took it or threw it away. Lily felt very bad. She felt angry and sad and lonely. She cried and cried and cried. + +She did not want to play with her other toys. She did not want to eat or sleep or talk. She only wanted her clock. She missed its tick-tock sound and its face and its hands. She wished she had brought it with her to the store. She wished she had not left it alone. She wished she had a real friend. +Lily was very happy. Today was her birthday. She had a cake with candles and a big balloon. She had many friends to play with. She liked her birthday. + +But Lily wanted one thing more. She wanted a pony. She loved ponies. She had a book with pictures of ponies. She had a toy pony that she hugged at night. She dreamed of riding a pony. + +She asked her mom and dad for a pony. They smiled and said, "Maybe, Lily. Maybe." Lily hoped they would say yes. + +After the cake and the games, Lily's mom and dad said, "Lily, we have a surprise for you. Come outside with us." Lily followed them to the yard. She saw a big truck with a trailer. She wondered what was inside. + +The truck driver opened the trailer. Lily saw a pony. A real pony. It was brown and white and had a long mane and tail. It looked at Lily with big eyes. Lily gasped. She could not believe it. + +"Lily, this is your pony. His name is Spot. He is very gentle and friendly. We received him from a nice lady who had to move away. She wanted him to have a good home. Do you like him?" Lily's dad asked. + +Lily nodded. She ran to the pony and hugged his neck. The pony nuzzled her hair. Lily felt his warm breath and soft fur. She was so happy. She had a pony. + +"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" Lily said to her mom and dad. "This is the best birthday ever! Can I ride him?" + +"Of course, Lily. But first, you have to put on this helmet. It will protect your head. And we will help you get on the pony. He is very high, but he will be gentle with you." Lily's mom said. + +Lily put on the helmet and climbed on the pony. Her mom and dad held the reins and walked with her. Lily felt like she was flying. She smiled and laughed. She had a pony. She loved her pony. And her pony loved her. +Sara and Ben like to play with their stickers. They have many stickers of animals, flowers, cars and stars. They stick them on their books, their walls and their toys. But sometimes they fight over their stickers. They want the same ones or they lose their own ones. + +One day, their mom gave them a big envelope. She said, "This is for you to organize your stickers. You can sort them by color, by shape, by size or by whatever you like. Then you can put them in the envelope and keep them safe. That way, you won't fight or lose them anymore." + +Sara and Ben were happy. They opened the envelope and started to organize their stickers. Sara liked to sort them by color. She made piles of red, blue, yellow, green and pink stickers. Ben liked to sort them by shape. He made piles of round, square, star, heart and flower stickers. + +They worked hard and had fun. They showed each other their piles and admired them. They said, "Look at my stickers! They are so pretty and neat!" + +But then they saw a problem. They had some stickers that were both round and red, or both star and yellow, or both heart and pink. They did not know where to put them. They looked at each other and said, "Where do these stickers go? They belong to both of us!" + +They thought for a while. Then they had an idea. They said, "Let's make a new pile for these stickers. We can call it the special pile. We can share these stickers and use them together. That way, it will be fair and fun!" + +They smiled and nodded. They made the special pile and put it in the middle of the envelope. They said, "We did a good job! We organized our stickers and we solved our problem. We are good friends!" + +They hugged each other and closed the envelope. They thanked their mom and put it on their shelf. They said, "We love our stickers and we love each other!" +Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play with toys. One day, Tom sees a new toy in Anna's room. It is a big truck with wide wheels. Tom wants to play with it. + +"Can I borrow your truck, Anna?" Tom asks. + +Anna thinks for a moment. She likes her truck, but she also likes Tom. She decides to share. + +"Okay, you can borrow it. But be careful. It is my favorite toy," Anna says. + +Tom is grateful. He takes the truck and makes it go vroom vroom on the floor. He pretends it is a fire truck and he is a firefighter. He has a lot of fun. + +"Thank you, Anna. Your truck is awesome," Tom says. + +Anna smiles. She is happy that Tom likes her toy. She is also happy that he is her friend. + +"You're welcome, Tom. You are a good friend," Anna says. + +They hug and play some more. They are both grateful for each other. +Lily and Ben were playing with the snow in the garden. They made a big snowman with a hat, a scarf and a carrot nose. They also found some ornaments in a box and put them on the snowman. They gave him a shiny star, a red ball and a silver bell. + +"Look, our snowman is so pretty!" Lily said. + +"Yes, he is! And he has a nice smile too!" Ben said. + +They hugged the snowman and took a picture with him. + +The next day, the sun was very bright and warm. Lily and Ben went outside to see their snowman. But they saw something very sad. The snowman was melting! His hat and scarf were on the ground. His carrot nose was gone. And his ornaments were falling off. + +"Oh no, our snowman is going away!" Lily cried. + +"Don't cry, Lily. We can make another one when it snows again." Ben said. + +"But what about his ornaments? They are so pretty. We can't lose them!" Lily said. + +They ran to the snowman and picked up the ornaments. They put them in a basket and took them inside. They decided to hang them on their Christmas tree. + +"Look, our ornaments are still shiny and pretty!" Lily said. + +"Yes, they are! And they remind us of our snowman. He was a good friend." Ben said. + +They smiled and hugged each other. They were happy to have the ornaments and each other. +Lily was a big girl. She was three years old. She liked to play with her toys and her books. She had a lot of fun with her mom and dad. + +One day, Lily went to the park with her mom. She saw a boy with a red ball. She wanted to play with the ball. She asked the boy, "Can I play with your ball?" + +The boy said, "No, this is my ball. Go away." He was very rude. He did not want to share. + +Lily was sad. She did not like the boy. She said, "That is not nice. You should share." + +The boy said, "No, I don't have to share. This is mine." He stuck out his tongue at Lily. + +Lily was angry. She did not want to be friends with the boy. She had an idea. She waited for the boy to look away. Then she ran to the ball and took it. She threw it far away. She said, "Ha ha, now you can't play with your ball." + +The boy was shocked. He cried. He said, "Hey, that is not fair. Give me back my ball." + +Lily said, "No, you were rude. You did not share. Now you have no ball." + +The boy ran after the ball. He tried to get it back. Lily ran to her mom. She said, "Mom, let's go home. I don't like that boy. He was rude." + +Her mom said, "Lily, that was not nice. You should not take things that are not yours. That is rude, too." + +Lily said, "But he did not share. He was mean." + +Her mom said, "I know, but two wrongs don't make a right. You should say sorry to the boy and give him back his ball." + +Lily said, "But I don't want to." + +Her mom said, "Lily, you have to. That is the right thing to do. How would you feel if someone took your toys?" + +Lily thought about it. She did not like it when someone took her toys. She felt bad. She said, "Okay, mom. I will say sorry and give him back his ball." + +Her mom said, "Good girl. That is very brave of you. Come on, let's go find the boy." + +Lily and her mom walked to the boy. He was still crying. He had found his ball, but it was dirty and wet. Lily said, "I'm sorry, boy. I should not have taken your ball. That was rude. Here, you can have it back." + +The boy looked at Lily. He was surprised. He said, "Thank you, girl. I'm sorry, too. I should have shared my ball. That was rude, too. Do you want to play with me?" + +Lily smiled. She said, "Yes, I do. That would be fun." + +The boy smiled, too. He said, "Okay, let's play. What is your name?" + +Lily said, "My name is Lily. What is yours?" + +The boy said, "My name is Ben. Nice to meet you, Lily." + +Lily and Ben played with the ball. They had a lot of fun. They became friends. Lily's mom was happy. She said, "See, Lily? Sharing is caring. You made a new friend today." + +Lily said, "Yes, mom. You are right. Sharing is caring. I like Ben. He is nice." + +Lily and Ben played until it was time to go home. They said goodbye and hugged. They said, "See you soon. Have a good year." + +Lily and Ben had a good year. They played together often. They learned to share and be kind. They were happy. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play in the garden. One day, they found a big jar of mints in the kitchen. They wanted to eat them, but their mom said no. She said they were for guests and they had to share. + +Tom and Lily did not listen. They took the jar and ran to the garden. They hid behind a bush and opened the jar. They started to eat the mints. They were sweet and crunchy. They ate and ate until the jar was empty. + +Then, they heard their mom calling them. She said it was time for lunch. Tom and Lily felt sick. Their stomachs hurt and their mouths were dry. They tried to drink some water, but it did not help. They looked at each other and felt sorry. + +They went to their mom and told her the truth. They said they ate all the mints and they were sorry. Their mom was not happy. She said they were naughty and greedy. She said they had to learn to share and to listen. She said they could not have any lunch or dessert. They had to go to their room and rest. + +Tom and Lily went to their room and lay on their beds. They wished they had not eaten the mints. They wished they had shared them with their guests. They learned their lesson. They decided to be good and to listen to their mom. They said they would never eat mints again. +Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. Sara has a big ball. Ben has a small car. + +"Can I play with your ball?" Ben asks Sara. + +"OK, but be careful. It is heavy," Sara says. She offers the ball to Ben. + +Ben tries to lift the ball, but it is too heavy for him. He drops the ball on the ground. The ball rolls away. + +"Oh no! Where is the ball?" Sara says. + +They run after the ball. They see a dog. The dog has the ball in its mouth. The dog is happy. It shakes the ball and makes it squeak. + +"Hey, that is our ball!" Ben says. He tries to get the ball from the dog, but the dog growls. + +"Be nice, doggy. Please give us our ball," Sara says. She offers the dog a treat. The dog likes the treat. It drops the ball and eats the treat. + +"Thank you, doggy. You are a good dog," Sara says. She picks up the ball and gives it to Ben. + +"Thank you, Sara. You are a good friend," Ben says. He gives Sara his car. + +They play with the ball and the car. They have fun. The dog watches them and wags its tail. +Ben and Lily liked to play in the garage. They had many toys and games there. But they also knew they had to be careful. There were some things in the garage that were not for kids. Like the fire box. Dad said the fire box could make fire and burn things. He said only grown-ups could use it. + +One day, Ben and Lily were in the garage. They saw the fire box on a shelf. It looked shiny and red. Ben wanted to see it better. He climbed on a chair and reached for the fire box. Lily saw him and said, "No, Ben! That is not for us! That is bad!" + +But Ben did not listen. He grabbed the fire box and pulled it down. But it was heavy and he dropped it. The fire box hit the floor and opened. A spark came out and lit a paper. The paper caught fire and burned. The fire spread to a cloth and a box. The garage was full of smoke and flames. + +Ben and Lily were scared. They ran to the door and opened it. They saw Mom and Dad in the yard. They yelled, "Help! Help! Fire in the garage!" + +Mom and Dad heard them and ran to the garage. They saw the fire and grabbed a hose. They sprayed water on the fire and put it out. They took Ben and Lily out of the garage and hugged them. They said, "Are you okay? Are you hurt?" + +Ben and Lily said, "We are okay. We are sorry. We touched the fire box. We were bad." + +Mom and Dad said, "We are glad you are okay. But you were very naughty. You could have been hurt or burned. You should never touch the fire box. It is dangerous. You should always stay away from it. Do you understand?" + +Ben and Lily said, "Yes, we understand. We are sorry. We will never touch the fire box again. We love you." + +Mom and Dad said, "We love you too. But you are in trouble. You have to go to your room and think about what you did. And you have to help us clean the garage. It is a mess." + +Ben and Lily said, "Okay. We will do that. We are sorry." + +Mom and Dad said, "Come on. Let's go inside. You are safe now. But you have to be more careful next time." +Tommy was a big boy who liked to play with his toys. He had many cars, trains, and planes that he could zoom around the floor. He also liked to pretend that he was a boss in an office, and he had a desk, a chair, and a phone that he could use to make important calls. + +One day, his mom had to go to the real office for work, and she asked Tommy to stay with his grandma. Tommy was not happy, because he wanted to go with his mom and see the real office. He thought it would be more fun than staying with his grandma, who only liked to knit and read. + +When his mom left, Tommy had an idea. He decided to dare himself to sneak out of the house and follow his mom to the office. He put on his coat and shoes, and grabbed his phone. He waited until his grandma was busy in the kitchen, and then he ran out of the door. + +He ran and ran, trying to catch up with his mom. He did not know where the office was, but he thought he could find it by following the big cars and buses. He crossed the street, dodged the people, and looked for signs. He was very confused, because everything looked different and noisy. He wished he had his toys with him. + +He ran for a long time, but he could not find the office. He started to feel scared and tired. He wanted to go back to his grandma, but he did not know how. He did not have his mom's number on his phone, and he did not know anyone who could help him. He started to cry. + +A nice lady saw him crying and asked him what was wrong. He told her that he was looking for his mom's office, but he got lost. The lady felt sorry for him and asked him his mom's name and where he lived. She called his mom and told her where he was. She also called his grandma and told her not to worry. + +Soon, his mom came and hugged him. She was very angry and worried, but also relieved. She thanked the lady for helping him, and took him back to his grandma. She scolded him for daring to sneak out of the house, and told him that he could have been hurt or lost. She told him that he should never do that again, and that he should listen to his grandma and be a good boy. + +Tommy felt very sorry and ashamed. He realized that he had made a big mistake, and that he had caused a lot of trouble. He apologized to his mom and his grandma, and promised to behave. He learned that the office was not as fun as he thought, and that he was happier and safer at home with his toys and his family. He also learned that daring himself to do something bad was not smart or brave, but foolish and dangerous. He decided to only dare himself to do something good, like learning new words or helping his grandma. He hugged his mom and his grandma, and said that he loved them. They hugged him back, and said that they loved him too. +Tom and Sam were friends who liked to play with toys. One day, they saw a big toy missile in the store. It was shiny and red and made loud noises. Tom wanted it very much, but he had no money. Sam had some money, but not enough to buy the missile. + +"Let's steal it," Tom said. "No one will see us. It will be fun." + +Sam was scared. He knew stealing was bad. He did not want to hurt the store or the missile's owner. He did not want to get in trouble. + +"No, Tom," Sam said. "Stealing is wrong. We should save our money and buy it later. Or we can ask for it as a gift. Or we can play with other toys. There are many toys here." + +Tom did not listen. He was greedy and sneaky. He waited until the store was busy and grabbed the missile. He ran out of the door with it. Sam followed him, but he was sad and angry. + +"Tom, stop!" Sam shouted. "You are making a big mistake. Give the missile back. It is not yours." + +But Tom did not stop. He ran to his house and hid the missile under his bed. He thought he was clever and happy. He did not care about Sam or the store or the missile's owner. + +The next day, Tom wanted to play with the missile. He took it out of his bed and pressed the button. But nothing happened. The missile was broken. It did not make any noises or fly or shine. It was dull and useless. + +Tom was confused and sad. He had stolen a toy that did not work. He had lost a friend who did not trust him. He had hurt a store that did not like him. He had wronged a missile's owner who did not know him. + +He wished he had listened to Sam. He wished he had not stolen the missile. He wished he had been good and honest and kind. + +He learned a hard lesson. Stealing is bad. It makes you unhappy and lonely. It hurts others and yourself. It is better to share and care and be fair. +Anna liked to question everything. She wanted to know why the sky was blue, why the grass was green, and why the sun was hot. She asked her mom and dad many questions every day. + +One day, Anna saw a butterfly in the garden. It was yellow and black, and it had big wings. Anna wanted to know more about it. She ran after the butterfly, trying to catch it. She asked, "Butterfly, where do you come from? What do you eat? How do you fly?" + +The butterfly heard Anna's questions, but it did not answer. It was afraid of Anna. It flew away from her, hoping to find a safe place. It did not want to be caught by Anna. + +Anna followed the butterfly, but she could not catch it. She was sad. She said, "Butterfly, please don't go. I just want to talk to you. I think you are beautiful and amazing." + +The butterfly heard Anna's words, and it felt sorry for her. It realized that Anna was not mean, but curious. It decided to give Anna a chance. It flew back to Anna, and landed on her hand. It said, "Hello, Anna. I am a butterfly. I come from a cocoon. I eat nectar from flowers. I fly with my wings." + +Anna was surprised and happy. She said, "Wow, butterfly, you can talk! Thank you for telling me about yourself. You are very smart and kind. I am sorry for scaring you. I am grateful for your friendship." + +The butterfly smiled and said, "You are welcome, Anna. You are very brave and sweet. I am sorry for running away from you. I am grateful for your interest." + +Anna and the butterfly became friends. They talked and played in the garden. They learned from each other. They had fun. They were happy. +Lily liked to lay on the grass and look at the sky. She saw clouds, birds, and sometimes planes. She liked to make shapes with the clouds and name them. She saw a cloud that looked like a cat, a cloud that looked like a flower, and a cloud that looked like a hat. + +She heard a sound and turned her head. She saw her dog, Rex, running towards her. Rex was a big, brown dog. He was very friendly and reliable. He always came when Lily called him and played with her. He liked to chase balls, sticks, and squirrels. + +Rex jumped on Lily and licked her face. Lily laughed and hugged him. She said, "Hello, Rex! Do you want to see the clouds with me?" Rex wagged his tail and lay down next to her. He looked at the sky, too. He did not see the shapes, but he saw Lily's smile. He was happy to be with her. + +They lay on the grass for a long time, enjoying nature. They felt the sun, the breeze, and the grass. They heard the birds, the bees, and the leaves. They smelled the flowers, the dirt, and each other. They were happy and peaceful. They loved each other. +Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park with their toys. One day, they saw a big yellow flower in the grass. It was very pretty and smelled good. + +"Look, Ben, a yellow flower!" Lily said. "Can we pick it?" + +Ben nodded. He liked yellow flowers too. He reached out his hand to grab the flower. But he did not see the bee that was on it. The bee was angry and stung Ben's finger. Ben cried out in pain and dropped the flower. + +"Ow, ow, ow! It hurts!" Ben said. He held his finger and tears came out of his eyes. + +Lily felt sorry for Ben. She wanted to help him. She remembered what her mommy told her when she got hurt. She said, "Don't worry, Ben. I have something for you. It will make you feel better." + +She put down her toys and ran to Ben. She wrapped her arms around him and gave him a big hug. She said, "This is a hug. It is a way to say I love you and I care about you. Hugs can heal boo-boos and make you happy." + +Ben felt the warmth and kindness of Lily's hug. He stopped crying and smiled a little. He said, "Thank you, Lily. You are a good friend. I love you too." + +They hugged for a long time. Then they picked up their toys and the flower. They decided to share the flower and spread its petals on the ground. They made a yellow circle around them. They sat inside the circle and played happily. They felt the sun on their faces and the wind in their hair. They were glad they had each other. +Lila and Ben are friends. They like to play with blocks and shapes. They have many blocks and shapes in different colors and sizes. They can make houses, cars, animals and more. + +One day, they decide to play with symbols. Symbols are shapes that mean something. For example, a heart means love, a star means bright, a cross means plus. Lila and Ben have a book with many symbols. They look at the book and try to find the symbols in their blocks and shapes. + +Lila finds a heart. She says, "Look, Ben, I have a heart. It is red and pretty. It means love. I love you, Ben. You are my friend." She gives the heart to Ben. + +Ben smiles and says, "Thank you, Lila. I love you too. You are my friend." He finds a star. He says, "Look, Lila, I have a star. It is yellow and shiny. It means bright. You are bright, Lila. You are smart and funny." He gives the star to Lila. + +Lila and Ben hug and say, "We are friends. We have symbols. Symbols are fun and attractive. They make us happy." They continue to play with symbols and blocks and shapes. They have a good time. +Lily and Max were playing in the park. They liked to slide, swing and run. They had a lot of fun. But after a while, they felt tired. They wanted to rest. + +"Let's sit on the bench," Lily said. "I have a notebook and some crayons. We can draw." + +"OK," Max said. He followed Lily to the bench. Lily opened her notebook and gave Max a crayon. They started to draw. + +Lily drew a flower. Max drew a car. They showed each other their drawings. They smiled. + +But then, a big boy came. He saw the notebook and the crayons. He wanted them. + +"Hey, give me that!" he said. He grabbed the notebook from Lily. He ran away. + +Lily and Max were shocked. They felt sad and angry. + +"Hey, come back!" Max shouted. He ran after the big boy. He wanted to get the notebook back. + +Lily ran after Max. She wanted to help him. She wanted to get her notebook back. + +They chased the big boy across the park. They yelled at him. They tried to catch him. + +But the big boy was fast. He ran to the gate. He threw the notebook over the fence. He laughed. + +"Ha ha, too bad!" he said. He ran away. + +Lily and Max reached the fence. They saw the notebook on the other side. They felt worse. + +They couldn't get the notebook. They couldn't draw anymore. They couldn't have fun anymore. + +They sat on the ground. They cried. They hugged each other. + +They wished the big boy was nice. They wished they had their notebook. They wished they were happy. +Jen and Sam were very tired after a long day of playing. They wanted to go to bed, but they heard loud noises from downstairs. They heard their mom and dad talking and laughing with some friends. They smelled something sweet and sour in the air. + +"What are they doing?" Jen asked Sam. + +"I think they are having wine," Sam said. "It is a drink for grown-ups. It makes them happy and silly." + +"Can we have some?" Jen wondered. + +"No, we can't. It is not for kids. It can make us sick," Sam said. "We have to drink water or milk or juice." + +Jen and Sam were curious, but they knew they had to listen to Sam. He was older and smarter. They decided to sneak down the stairs and peek at their mom and dad. They saw them sitting on the couch and holding glasses of wine. They saw them smiling and hugging and telling jokes. + +"Look, they are having fun," Jen whispered. + +"Yes, they are," Sam whispered back. "They are glad to see their friends. They work hard and they need to relax." + +Jen and Sam felt happy for their mom and dad, but they also felt sleepy. They crept back up the stairs and went to their room. They put on their pajamas and brushed their teeth. They climbed into their beds and cuddled with their teddy bears. + +"Good night, Jen," Sam said. + +"Good night, Sam," Jen said. + +They closed their eyes and settled into their pillows. They dreamed of playing and laughing and having fun. They knew their mom and dad loved them and would tuck them in soon. They felt safe and warm and cozy. They were glad to be a family. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play together. One day, they found a big box in the garage. They wanted to see what was inside, so they opened the box. Inside, they saw many shiny things that looked like toys. They were very happy and started to take them out. + +But they did not know that the shiny things were not toys. They were tools that their dad used to fix things. Some of them were sharp, some of them were heavy, and some of them were dangerous. Their dad had put them in the box to keep them away from the children. + +When their dad came home, he saw the mess in the garage. He saw the tools scattered on the floor, and some of them broken or bent. He was very angry and worried. He asked Lily and Ben what they had done. + +Lily and Ben were scared. They did not want to get in trouble. They tried to explain that they thought the tools were toys, and that they just wanted to have fun. But their dad did not listen. He said that they were foolish to play with things they did not know, and that they could have hurt themselves or others. He said that they had to put everything back in the box, and that they could not play in the garage anymore. + +Lily and Ben felt sorry. They realized that they had made a mistake. They helped their dad to clean up the garage, and put the tools back in the box. They said that they were sorry, and that they would not do it again. Their dad hugged them and said that he loved them, but that they had to be careful and ask before they touched anything. He said that he would show them how to use the tools when they were older, and that they could play with other toys that were safe and fun. Lily and Ben nodded and smiled. They learned their lesson, and went to play with their dolls and cars on the other side of the house. +Tim and Sam are friends. They like to swim in the sea. They want to see a dolphin. They swim far from the shore. They look for a dolphin. + +"Where is the dolphin?" Tim asks. + +"I don't know. Maybe it is hiding." Sam says. + +They swim more. They are tired. They see a big wave. The wave is coming to them. + +"Help! The wave is too big!" Tim cries. + +"Swim fast! We can make it!" Sam shouts. + +They swim fast. They try to reach the shore. The wave is faster. It catches them. They go under the water. + +They are scared. They can't breathe. They can't see. They feel something touch them. It is a dolphin. The dolphin is friendly. It helps them. It pushes them to the surface. It takes them to the shore. + +They are safe. They are happy. They thank the dolphin. + +"Wow! You are a hero, dolphin!" Tim says. + +"Yes, you are amazing, dolphin!" Sam says. + +The dolphin smiles. It jumps in the air. It makes a noise. It says goodbye. It swims away. + +Tim and Sam hug. They are proud. They succeeded. They saw a dolphin. It was not easy. But it was worth it. They learned a lesson. They will never swim too far again. They will always respect the sea. And they will always love the dolphin. +Tom and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of fun making noises and pretending to be animals. But then Tom saw a shiny thing on the table. It was a knife that Mom had used to cut the bread for dinner. + +"Look, Lily, a sharp thing!" Tom said, reaching for the knife. + +"No, Tom, don't touch it!" Lily said, trying to stop him. "It is not a toy. It can hurt you!" + +But Tom did not listen. He grabbed the knife and waved it around. He felt powerful and brave. He cut the air and the sofa and the curtains. He made a big mess. + +"Tom, stop it!" Lily shouted. "You are making everything dirty! Mom will be angry!" + +But Tom did not stop. He cut Lily's doll and her dress. He made a big hole and a big tear. Lily cried and screamed. + +"Tom, you are mean! You broke my doll and my dress! I hate you!" + +Mom heard the noise and came to the living room. She saw the knife and the mess and the crying. She was very angry and scared. + +"Tom, what have you done?" Mom yelled. "Give me that knife right now! You could have hurt yourself or Lily! How could you be so naughty?" + +Tom felt ashamed and sorry. He dropped the knife and ran to his room. He hid under his bed and cried. He wished he had listened to Lily. He wished he had not touched the sharp thing. He wished he could say sorry to Lily and Mom. He wished he could have dinner with them and hug them. He wished he could be a good boy. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to ride bikes in the park. Tom has a big bike with two wheels. Lily has a small bike with four wheels. Lily wants to learn how to ride a big bike like Tom. + +One day, Tom says to Lily, "Do you want to try my bike? It is fun and fast. You can do it!" + +Lily says, "Yes, I want to try. But I am scared. What if I fall?" + +Tom says, "Don't be scared. I will help you. Hold on to the handle and push the pedals. I will hold the bike for you." + +Lily nods and gets on Tom's bike. She holds on to the handle and pushes the pedals. Tom holds the bike and runs with her. Lily feels the wind in her hair. She smiles and says, "This is fun! I like your bike, Tom!" + +Tom says, "You are doing great, Lily! Now, let go of the handle and balance. I will let go of the bike too. You can do it!" + +Lily says, "OK, I will try." She lets go of the handle and balances. Tom lets go of the bike too. Lily rides the bike by herself. She feels proud and happy. She says, "Look, Tom, I can ride your bike!" + +Tom says, "Wow, Lily, you are amazing! You are a big bike rider now!" + +But then, Lily sees a big dog in the park. The dog is playful and friendly. He runs towards Lily and barks. Lily gets scared and stops pushing the pedals. She loses her balance and falls off the bike. She scrapes her knee and cries. + +Tom runs to Lily and helps her up. He says, "Are you OK, Lily? I am sorry. The dog did not mean to scare you. He just wanted to play." + +Lily says, "I am OK, Tom. But it hurts. And I lost your bike." + +Tom says, "Don't worry, Lily. The bike is fine. It is just a pedal. I can fix it. And you are fine too. You are brave and strong. You did a great job riding my bike. I am proud of you." + +Lily smiles and hugs Tom. She says, "Thank you, Tom. You are a good friend. Can we ride bikes again tomorrow?" + +Tom says, "Of course, Lily. We can ride bikes again tomorrow. And maybe we can play with the dog too. He is nice and playful. He just wants to have fun." + +Lily says, "OK, Tom. That sounds good. I like bikes and dogs and you." +Lily and Ben are playing in the garden. They see a big box with many things inside. They want to see what is in the box. + +"Look, Lily, a hammer and nails!" Ben says. He takes the hammer and a nail. He tries to hit the nail on the box, but he misses. The nail falls on the ground. + +"Ouch!" Lily says. She steps on the nail with her bare foot. It hurts a lot. She cries and sits on the grass. + +"Sorry, Lily, sorry!" Ben says. He drops the hammer and runs to Lily. He sees blood on her foot. He is scared. + +"Mommy, mommy, help!" Ben shouts. He waves his arms. Mommy hears him and comes to the garden. She sees Lily and Ben. + +"What happened, my loves?" Mommy asks. She kneels down and hugs them. + +"Lily stepped on a nail, mommy. It was my fault. I was playing with the hammer and the nail," Ben says. He is sorry and sad. + +Mommy looks at Lily's foot. She takes the nail out gently. She cleans the wound with water and a soft cloth. She puts a band-aid on it. + +"It's okay, Ben. It was an accident. You didn't mean to hurt Lily. But you have to be careful with tools. They are not toys. They can be dangerous," Mommy says. She kisses Lily and Ben. + +"Thank you, mommy. I love you," Lily says. She smiles and hugs Mommy. + +"I love you, too, Lily. And I love you, Ben. You are a good brother. You helped Lily and called me," Mommy says. She smiles and hugs Ben. + +They go inside the house. Mommy gives them some cookies and milk. They sit on the couch and watch a funny show. They laugh and forget the pain. They are happy. +Anna and Ben are playing doctor and patient in the garden. Anna has a toy stethoscope and Ben has a bandage on his arm. + +"Hello, patient Ben. I am doctor Anna. How are you feeling today?" Anna asks. + +"I am feeling ouchy. I fell down from the slide and hurt my arm. It is red and sore," Ben says. + +"Oh, no. That is not good. You are very clumsy, patient Ben. You need to be careful when you play. Let me check your arm with my stethoscope," Anna says. + +She puts the stethoscope on Ben's arm and listens. She makes a serious face. + +"Hmm, I hear something. It sounds like a beep beep beep. Do you know what that is, patient Ben?" Anna asks. + +Ben shakes his head. He does not know what a beep beep beep is. + +"That is your heart, patient Ben. It is beating very fast. You are scared of the doctor, aren't you?" Anna says. + +Ben nods. He is scared of the doctor. He does not like needles and medicine. + +"Don't worry, patient Ben. I am a nice doctor. I will not hurt you. I will just give you a sticker and a hug. And you will feel better soon," Anna says. + +She peels off a sticker from a sheet and puts it on Ben's bandage. It is a sticker of a dinosaur. Ben likes dinosaurs. He smiles. + +"Thank you, doctor Anna. You are a good doctor. I like your sticker. It is cool," Ben says. + +"You are welcome, patient Ben. You are a brave patient. I like your smile. It is cute," Anna says. + +They hug each other. They are happy. + +"Can I mention something, doctor Anna?" Ben asks. + +"Sure, patient Ben. What do you want to mention?" Anna asks. + +"Can we play something else now? I don't want to be a patient anymore. I want to be a pirate. Arrr!" Ben says. + +Anna laughs. She likes pirates too. + +"Okay, patient Ben. Let's play pirates. But be careful. Don't fall down again. Or you will need another sticker and a hug," Anna says. + +They run to the sandbox and pretend to sail a ship. They have fun. They are friends. +Ben and Mia liked to play knights and dragons in the garden. They had a big cardboard box that they cut into a shield and a sword. They painted them with bright colors and put stickers on them. + +One day, they saw a new boy in the house next door. He was watching them from the window. Ben and Mia waved at him and invited him to play. The boy smiled and ran outside. He said his name was Leo and he was three years old, like them. + +Leo wanted to be a knight too, but he did not have a shield or a sword. Ben and Mia said he could share theirs. They took turns using the shield and the sword, and pretended to fight the dragon, which was a big teddy bear. + +But Leo liked the shield more than the sword. He did not want to give it back to Ben or Mia. He said it was his shield now and he ran away with it. Ben and Mia chased him, but he was too fast. He hid behind a tree and held the shield close to him. + +Ben and Mia were sad and angry. They said Leo was not nice and not a good friend. They asked him to give back the shield, but he did not listen. He said he liked the shield and he wanted to keep it. + +Then, Leo heard his mom calling him. She said it was time to go inside and have lunch. Leo looked at the shield and felt guilty. He knew he did something wrong. He learned that he should not take things that did not belong to him. He learned that he should share and be kind. + +He ran back to Ben and Mia and said he was sorry. He gave them back the shield and said they could play again later. Ben and Mia forgave him and said they were still friends. They hugged and smiled. They learned that everyone makes mistakes and that saying sorry is important. They learned that friendship is more fun than fighting. +Sara and Tom are playing in the park. They like to run and jump and slide. They see a big hill with many flowers. They want to climb the hill and see what is on the other side. + +They hold hands and start to walk up the hill. They notice something shiny in the grass. They go closer and see a big egg. It is blue and green and has spots. They wonder what is inside the egg. + +"Maybe it is a bird," Sara says. + +"Maybe it is a dinosaur," Tom says. + +They touch the egg gently. It is warm and smooth. They hear a crack. The egg starts to move. They are scared and excited. They back away and watch. + +The egg breaks open. A small creature comes out. It has wings and a tail and a horn. It is a dragon. It looks at Sara and Tom with big eyes. It makes a noise like a whistle. + +"Hello, dragon," Sara says. + +"Hello, dragon," Tom says. + +The dragon smiles and wags its tail. It likes Sara and Tom. It wants to play with them. It flies around them and lands on their heads. It tickles them with its horn. They laugh and hug the dragon. + +They are happy and dizzy. They have a new friend. They name the dragon Spot. They take Spot with them to the other side of the hill. They have more fun and adventures. They do not want to leave the park. They want to stay with Spot forever. +Lily and Max were playing in the park. They saw a big, shiny gem on a bench. It was red and sparkly. Lily wanted to have it. + +"Look, Max, a gem! Let's take it home!" Lily said. + +"No, Lily, that is not ours. That is stealing. Stealing is bad. Someone will be sad if we take their gem." Max said. + +But Lily did not listen. She grabbed the gem and ran away. Max followed her. He was scared. + +They ran to their house and hid the gem under Lily's bed. Lily was proud. She had a gem. She smiled. + +But then they heard a knock on the door. It was a lady. She looked angry and sad. + +"Hello, I am looking for my gem. I left it on the bench in the park. It is very special to me. It was a gift from my grandma. Have you seen it?" She asked. + +Lily and Max looked at each other. Lily felt bad. She knew she did something wrong. She took the gem out from under the bed and gave it to the lady. + +"I am sorry, lady. I took your gem. I thought it was pretty. I did not know it was yours. Please forgive me." Lily said. + +The lady smiled. She was happy to have her gem back. She hugged Lily and Max. + +"Thank you for being honest and giving me back my gem. I forgive you. But please don't steal again. It hurts people's feelings. And it is not nice." She said. + +Lily and Max nodded. They learned their lesson. They said sorry again and goodbye to the lady. They decided to play with their own toys and not steal anymore. They felt better. +Sara and Ben like to play in the garden. They see many flowers and bugs. They see a butterfly. It is yellow and black. It is fast and pretty. + +Sara and Ben want to catch the butterfly. They run after it. They try to grab it. But the butterfly is too fast. It flies away. Sara and Ben are sad. They want to play with the butterfly. + +They think of a way to solve the problem. They look for a net. They find one in the shed. They take the net and go back to the garden. They see the butterfly again. It is on a pink flower. + +Sara and Ben sneak up to the butterfly. They hold the net. They swing the net. They catch the butterfly. They are happy. They look at the butterfly. It is soft and shiny. + +They decide to let the butterfly go. They open the net. The butterfly flies out. It flaps its wings. It says thank you. Sara and Ben say you're welcome. They watch the butterfly fly away. They smile and hug. They are friends. +Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and sing. They saw a big box near the fence. It was brown and had a hole in it. + +"What is in the box?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know. Let's look," Tom said. + +They went to the box and peeked inside. They saw a big toy bear. It had fur and eyes and a nose. It looked nice. + +"Wow, a bear!" Lily said. "Can we play with it?" + +"Sure, let's take it out," Tom said. + +They pulled the bear out of the box. It was heavy and soft. They hugged it and smiled. + +"Hello, bear. We are Lily and Tom. Do you want to play with us?" Lily said. + +But the bear did not say anything. It did not move. It did not smile. + +"Maybe it is sleeping," Tom said. + +"Maybe it needs music," Lily said. + +She ran to the house and got her toy piano. She brought it to the garden and played a song for the bear. She played loud and fast. + +"Listen, bear. This is music. Do you like it?" Lily said. + +But the bear did not like it. It did not wake up. It did not clap. It did not dance. + +Suddenly, the bear made a noise. It was a loud and scary noise. It was a roar. + +"ROAR!" the bear roared. + +Lily and Tom were scared. They dropped the piano and the bear. They ran to the house and screamed. + +"Mommy, mommy, help! The bear is naughty! The bear is scary!" they cried. + +Mommy came out of the house. She saw the bear and the piano. She saw the hole in the box. She saw a wire and a button. + +She laughed and shook her head. + +"Oh, you silly kids. That is not a real bear. That is a prank bear. It is a toy that makes a roar when you press the button. Daddy bought it for a joke. He wanted to scare me, but he scared you instead. He is naughty too," she said. + +She picked up the bear and the piano. She put them back in the box. She hugged Lily and Tom. + +"Don't worry, my loves. The bear is not naughty. The bear is not scary. The bear is just a toy. It can't hurt you. It can't play with you. It can only roar. You are brave and smart. You can play with other toys. You can play with each other. You can play with me. I love you," she said. + +Lily and Tom felt better. They smiled and hugged mommy. They said sorry for the noise. They said thank you for the hug. They said they loved her too. + +They went back to the garden. They played with their ball and their doll and their car. They did not play with the bear. They did not like the roar. They liked the music. They liked each other. They were happy. +Tim and Sam were playing with their toy soldiers in the garden. They had a big box full of different soldiers, some with hats, some with guns, some with horses. They liked to make up stories about their soldiers and pretend they were in a war. + +One day, they decided to make a big cake for their soldiers. They found some mud, some water, some leaves and some flowers. They mixed them all together in a big bowl. They used a stick to stir the mixture. They said, "Stir, stir, stir, we are making a cake for our soldiers. They are hungry and need some food." + +They poured the mixture into a tin and put it in the sun to bake. They said, "Bake, bake, bake, our cake is almost done. It will be yummy and sweet for our soldiers. They will be happy and strong." + +They waited for a while, then they took out the tin and cut the cake into pieces. They gave each soldier a piece of cake. They said, "Eat, eat, eat, this is your cake. We made it for you. You are our brave soldiers. We love you." + +But the soldiers did not eat the cake. They did not move or talk. They just lay on the ground, covered in mud and leaves and flowers. Tim and Sam looked at them and wondered why they did not like their cake. They said, "Why don't you eat the cake? Don't you like it? Is it not good?" + +Then they heard a voice behind them. It was their mom. She said, "What are you doing, boys? What is this mess? You made a cake for your soldiers? That is very nice of you, but you know you can't use mud and water and leaves and flowers to make a cake. That is not food. That is dirt. Your soldiers can't eat that. They are toys, not real people. You need to clean them up and put them back in the box. And you need to wash your hands and faces. You are dirty too." + +Tim and Sam looked at their mom and felt sorry. They said, "We are sorry, mom. We wanted to make a cake for our soldiers. We thought they would like it. We thought they were hungry and needed some food." + +Mom smiled and hugged them. She said, "I know, boys. You have good hearts and big imaginations. But you need to learn what is food and what is not. And you need to take care of your toys and yourself. Come on, let's go inside and have some real cake. I made one for you. It is chocolate and has sprinkles on top. Do you want some?" + +Tim and Sam nodded and smiled. They said, "Yes, mom. We want some. Thank you, mom. You are the best mom. We love you." + +They followed their mom inside and left their soldiers in the garden. They hoped they would forgive them for their bad cake. They hoped they would still be their friends. They hoped they would still play with them tomorrow. +Sam and Lily were playing with their puppy, Spot. They loved Spot very much. He was soft and warm and liked to lick their faces. They threw a ball for him and he ran after it. + +"Let's see who can win the ball from Spot!" Sam said. + +"Okay!" Lily said. "But be nice to him. He is our friend." + +They both ran after Spot, who had the ball in his mouth. He wagged his tail and barked. He liked to play with them. He ran around the yard, trying to keep the ball away from them. + +Sam and Lily chased him, laughing and shouting. They tried to grab the ball, but Spot was too fast. He ran under the tree and then behind the fence. He was having fun. + +But then, something bad happened. A big car came down the street. It was loud and fast. Spot did not see it. He ran across the road, still holding the ball. The car hit him. He yelped and fell down. The ball rolled away. + +Sam and Lily saw what happened. They stopped running. They felt scared and sad. They ran to Spot. He was not moving. He was not breathing. He was dead. + +"Spot! Spot!" Sam cried. "Wake up! Wake up!" + +Lily hugged Sam. She cried too. "He can't wake up, Sam. He is gone. He is in heaven now." + +They stayed with Spot, holding him and crying. They did not care about the ball or the car or the game. They only cared about Spot. He was their puppy. He was their best friend. They missed him very much. +Tom and Sam were brothers. They liked to play with cars and trucks. One day, Mom said, "We are going to the store. Do you want to come?" Tom and Sam were eager to go. They hoped to see some new toys at the store. + +Mom drove them to the store. She gave them a rule. "You can look at the toys, but you cannot touch them. That is the law of the store. If you touch them, you might break them or lose them. Do you understand?" Tom and Sam nodded. They said, "Yes, Mom." + +Mom left them in the toy aisle. She went to buy some food. Tom and Sam looked at the toys. They saw many cars and trucks. They wanted to play with them. Sam saw a big red truck. He said, "Look, Tom, a big red truck! I want it!" Tom said, "Me too! But we cannot touch it. Mom said so." Sam said, "But it is so nice. Just one touch. Mom will not know." + +Sam reached for the big red truck. He grabbed it. He pulled it. But the truck was tied to a string. The string was tied to a bell. The bell rang loud. It made a noise. Mom heard the noise. She came back. She saw Sam with the truck. She saw the bell. She was angry. She said, "Sam, what did you do? You broke the law of the store. You touched the toy. You made a mess. You are in trouble." + +Sam was scared. He dropped the truck. He said, "I'm sorry, Mom. I just wanted to touch it. I did not mean to make a noise." Mom said, "Sorry is not enough. You have to pay for the truck. And you have to say sorry to the store man. And you have to go home. No more toys for you today." Sam cried. He said, "Please, Mom, no. I don't want to pay. I don't want to say sorry. I don't want to go home." Mom said, "Too bad. You should have listened to me. Come on, let's go." She took Sam by the hand. She left the store. Tom followed them. He was sad. He did not get to see the toys. He wished Sam had not touched the truck. He learned a lesson. He would never break the law of the store. +Lily and Tom were playing in the backyard. They found a big stick and some dry leaves. They wanted to make a fire, like they saw on TV. + +"Fire is fun and warm," Tom said. "Let's burn the leaves with the stick." + +Lily was not sure. She remembered that Mom and Dad always said fire was dangerous. "But what if we get hurt?" she asked. + +Tom laughed. "Don't be scared, Lily. It's easy. Look, I have a message for you." He scratched some letters on the stick with a rock. "It says 'Tom loves Lily'. See?" + +Lily smiled. She liked Tom. He was her best friend. She took the stick and read the message. "That's nice, Tom. Thank you." + +They put the stick and the leaves in a pile. Tom found a match in his pocket. He struck it and threw it on the pile. The leaves caught fire and made a big flame. + +"Wow, look at that!" Tom said. "It's so pretty." + +Lily felt the heat on her face. She was scared. The fire was too big and too close. She wanted to run away, but Tom held her hand. + +"Don't worry, Lily. It's okay. We can watch the fire together." + +But the fire was not okay. It spread to the grass and the flowers. It made a lot of smoke and noise. Lily and Tom coughed and cried. They were confused. Why did the fire do that? They thought fire was fun and warm. + +Mom and Dad heard the commotion. They ran outside and saw the fire. They were angry and scared. They grabbed Lily and Tom and took them away from the fire. They called the firemen to put out the fire. + +Mom and Dad scolded Lily and Tom. They told them fire was not a toy. They told them fire could hurt them and others. They told them fire could destroy things. They told them they were very naughty and foolish. + +Lily and Tom felt sorry and ashamed. They apologized to Mom and Dad. They realized they made a big mistake. They learned their lesson. They never played with fire again. + +The moral of the story is: Fire is dangerous and not a toy. You should never play with fire or matches. You should listen to your parents and follow their rules. You should be careful and responsible. +Ben and Mia were bored. They had no toys to play with. They looked around the room and saw a big white skull on the shelf. It was from a cow that their dad had found on the farm. + +"Let's paint the skull!" Ben said. He liked to paint things. He got some paint and a brush from the drawer. + +"OK!" Mia said. She liked to paint too. She got another brush and some paint. They climbed on a chair and took the skull down. + +They painted the skull with many colors. They made it red, blue, yellow, green, and purple. They painted eyes, a nose, a mouth, and horns on it. They laughed and had fun. + +But they also made a big mess. They spilled paint on the floor, the wall, the shelf, and themselves. They did not notice. + +Their mom came in and saw the mess. She was not happy. She saw the skull and was surprised. + +"What did you do?" she asked. + +"We painted the skull!" Ben and Mia said. + +"Why did you paint the skull?" she asked. + +"Because we were bored!" Ben and Mia said. + +"You were lazy!" she said. "You should have cleaned your room or read a book or played outside. Now you have to clean this mess and wash the skull and yourselves. And no more painting today!" + +Ben and Mia were sad. They liked their colorful skull. They did not like to clean. They wished they had something else to play with. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a trail of candy on the grass. They are curious. They want to follow the trail and find more candy. + +"Look, Sam, candy!" Tom says. He picks up a red candy and eats it. It is sweet and yummy. + +"Wow, Tom, you are lucky!" Sam says. He picks up a yellow candy and eats it. It is sour and yucky. + +"Yuck, Sam, this candy is bad!" Tom says. He spits out the candy. He sees more candy ahead. He runs to get it. + +"Wait, Tom, maybe this is a trap!" Sam says. He is nervous. He thinks someone is trying to trick them. He does not run after Tom. + +Tom does not listen to Sam. He follows the trail of candy. He sees a big house at the end of the trail. He thinks there is more candy inside. He opens the door and goes in. + +"Tom, no, come back!" Sam shouts. He is scared. He hears a loud noise from the house. He hears Tom scream. + +Sam runs to the house. He sees a big, bad wolf. The wolf has Tom in his mouth. The wolf is eating Tom. Sam is too late. He cannot save Tom. + +Sam cries. He wishes he did not follow the trail of candy. He wishes he listened to Sam. He lies on the ground and hopes the wolf does not see him. He is very sad and very sorry. The end. +Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big hole in the ground. It looked like a fun place to hide. + +"Let's go in the hole!" Ben said. + +"OK!" Lily said. + +They ran to the hole and jumped in. But it was not a fun place to hide. It was a trap. A mean man had dug the hole to catch animals. He had put a net over the hole. Ben and Lily could not get out. + +"Help! Help!" they shouted. + +A dog heard them. He ran to the hole and saw the net. He used his teeth to bite the net. He made a hole in the net. Ben and Lily crawled out. + +"Thank you, dog!" they said. + +The dog wagged his tail. He was a polite dog. He did not bark or bite. He licked their faces. + +"You're welcome, kids!" he said. + +Ben and Lily hugged the dog. They were happy. They had made a new friend. They decided to stay away from the trap. They played with the dog instead. They had fun in the park. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play in the park with their mom and dad. One day, they see a big slide. They want to go on the slide, but mom says they have to wait for their turn. + +"Can we go on the slide now, mom?" Anna asks. + +"Not yet, sweetie. There are other kids in line. We have to be patient and obedient," mom says. + +Anna and Ben nod. They know mom is right. They look around the park and see other fun things to do. They see a swing, a sandbox, a seesaw, and a merry-go-round. + +"Can we play with those, mom?" Ben asks. + +"Sure, honey. But stay close to me and dad. Don't wander too far, okay?" mom says. + +Anna and Ben agree. They run to the swing and take turns pushing each other. They giggle and squeal as they go higher and higher. Then they go to the sandbox and make a castle with a bucket and a shovel. They decorate it with sticks and stones and leaves. Then they go to the seesaw and balance each other up and down. They laugh and clap as they bounce and tilt. Then they go to the merry-go-round and hop on the horses. They hold on tight as they spin and spin. + +Anna and Ben have a lot of fun in the park. They are obedient and don't wander too far from mom and dad. They are happy and tired when they go home. They hug mom and dad and say thank you for the fun day. Mom and dad hug them back and say they are proud of them. They love their twins very much. +Anna liked to play in the garden with her doll Lily. She gave Lily a hat and a dress and pretended they were having a tea party. She poured water from a cup and said, "Here you go, Lily. Drink some tea. It is good for you." + +But then the sky became dark and the wind blew hard. Anna heard a loud noise and saw a big dog running towards her. The dog was barking and growling. Anna was scared. She picked up Lily and ran to the house. She shivered as she felt the dog's breath on her neck. + +She reached the door and opened it. She ran inside and slammed it shut. She hugged Lily and cried. She hoped the dog would go away. + +Her mom heard her and came to see what was wrong. She saw Anna and Lily and the dog outside. She opened the door and shouted, "Go away, dog! Leave my Anna alone!" + +The dog was surprised and ran away. Anna's mom hugged her and said, "It's okay, Anna. You are safe now. You are a brave girl. And Lily is a good doll. She stayed with you." + +Anna smiled and said, "Thank you, mom. I love you. And I love Lily. She is my best friend." +Tom and Mia liked to play in the bath. They had many toys to make bubbles and splash. But they did not like when Mom said it was time to get out. They always tried to resist and stay longer. + +One day, Mom had a surprise for them. She said she had a new toy for the bath. It was a big yellow duck that could squirt water. Tom and Mia were very happy and wanted to try it. They ran to the bathroom and filled the tub with warm water. + +They played with the duck for a long time. They made it squirt water at each other and at the wall. They laughed and had fun. But they did not notice that the water was getting lower and lower. The duck had a hole in its bottom and was leaking water into the drain. + +Mom came to check on them and saw the problem. She said, "Oh no, the duck is broken! It is letting all the water out. Look, the tub is almost empty. You have to get out now, or you will be cold and wet." + +Tom and Mia were sad and angry. They liked the duck and did not want to stop playing. They tried to resist and said, "No, no, we want to play more. The duck is not broken, it is fun. Please, Mom, let us stay." + +But Mom was firm and said, "No, you have to get out. The duck is not a good toy for the bath. It is wasting water and making a mess. Come on, I have towels and pajamas for you. You can play with the duck another time, but not in the bath." + +Tom and Mia realized that Mom was right. They saw that the water was almost gone and that the floor was wet. They felt cold and sorry. They got out of the tub and let Mom dry them and dress them. They said, "We are sorry, Mom. We did not mean to make trouble. We are grateful for the duck, but we understand that it is not a good toy for the bath. Can we play with it outside tomorrow?" + +Mom smiled and hugged them. She said, "It's okay, I forgive you. I know you were having fun, but you have to be careful with water. It is precious and we have to use it wisely. Yes, you can play with the duck outside tomorrow, but only with a bucket of water, not with the hose. And you have to share it with each other, okay?" + +Tom and Mia nodded and said, "Okay, Mom. Thank you for the duck and for the bath. We love you." + +Mom said, "I love you too. Now, let's go to bed. You must be tired after all that playing. Good night, sweeties." + +Tom and Mia went to bed and fell asleep. They dreamed of the duck and the bubbles and the splash. They were happy and grateful. +Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they found a big rock near the fence. They wanted to climb on it and see what was on the other side. + +"Let's go, Ben!" Anna said. "Maybe we can see the west. Mom said the west is where the sun goes to sleep." + +"OK, Anna," Ben said. "But be careful. The rock is hard and rough. And don't go too far. Mom said we have to stay close to the house." + +They climbed on the rock and looked over the fence. They saw a field with some cows and a barn. They also saw an elderly man sitting on a chair. He had white hair and a beard. He was holding a book and a pipe. + +"Hello, kids," the elderly man said. "What are you doing up there?" + +"We are looking at the west," Anna said. "Do you live in the barn?" + +"No, I live in the house over there," the elderly man said, pointing to a small cottage. "The barn is for the cows and the hay. I like to read and smoke here. It's quiet and peaceful." + +"Can we come and see your house?" Ben asked. "It looks cozy and nice." + +"Sure, you can," the elderly man said. "But you have to ask your mom first. And be careful when you get down from the rock. It's high and steep." + +"OK, we will," Anna said. "Thank you, sir. You are very kind." + +"You're welcome, kids," the elderly man said. "Maybe I'll see you again. Have a good day." + +Anna and Ben waved to the elderly man and climbed down from the rock. They ran back to the house and told their mom about their adventure. Their mom smiled and said they could visit the elderly man another day. They were happy and excited. They liked the rock and the west and the elderly man. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to find nuts and put them in a basket. They wanted to make a cake with nuts for their mom. + +"Look, I found a big nut!" Lily said. She showed Ben a brown nut with a hard shell. + +"Wow, that's a good nut!" Ben said. He tried to crack it with his teeth, but it was too hard. "How can we open it?" + +Lily had an idea. She saw a big rock near a tree. "Let's unite the nut and the rock!" she said. She meant that they should smash the nut with the rock. + +They carried the nut and the rock to a flat spot. Lily held the nut and Ben lifted the rock. He was about to hit the nut when they heard a loud hiss. + +They looked and saw a smelly skunk behind the tree. It was angry because they took its nut. It sprayed a stinky liquid at them. + +"Run!" Lily and Ben shouted. They dropped the nut and the rock and ran away. The skunk took back its nut and ate it. + +Lily and Ben were sad. They lost their big nut and they smelled bad. They went home and told their mom what happened. + +Their mom hugged them and gave them a bath. She said, "Don't worry, I have some nuts in the kitchen. We can still make a cake with nuts. And next time, be careful of smelly animals in the park." +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys and watch cartoons. They have a big van that their dad drives. The van is blue and has many seats. + +One day, their dad says, "We are going to the park today. It is a sunny day and there are many slides and swings. Do you want to go?" + +Lily and Ben shout, "Yes, yes, yes! We love the park!" + +They rush to get their hats and shoes. They put them on and run to the van. Their dad helps them buckle their seat belts. He starts the van and drives to the park. + +When they get to the park, they see many other kids. Some of them are their friends from school. The park is very popular. Lily and Ben wave to their friends and say, "Hi, hi, hi!" + +They jump out of the van and run to the slides and swings. They have a lot of fun. They slide, swing, climb, and laugh. They are happy. Their dad watches them and smiles. He is happy too. +Sara is a nurse. She helps people who are sick or hurt. She likes her job, but sometimes she is very tired. She works all day and all night. + +One night, she has a patient who is very dirty. He fell in the mud and hurt his leg. He is sad and scared. Sara wants to make him feel better. + +She gets a big bowl of warm water and a soft cloth. She says, "I am going to wash you, okay? It will not hurt. It will make you clean and cozy." She gently washes his face, his arms, his chest, and his leg. She dries him with a towel and puts a bandage on his wound. She gives him a clean shirt and a blanket. + +The patient smiles and says, "Thank you, Sara. You are very kind. You made me feel better." Sara smiles back and says, "You are welcome. You are very brave. You will get better soon." + +Sara feels happy. She is still tired, but she is also proud. She did a good job. She helped someone who needed her. She is a good nurse. +Sam was a naughty boy who liked to play tricks on animals. One day, he saw a big dog sleeping in the park. He thought it would be funny to tie a can to the dog's tail. He crept up to the dog and tied the can with a string. Then he ran away and hid behind a tree. + +The dog woke up and felt something on his tail. He tried to shake it off, but it made a loud noise. The noise scared the dog and he ran around the park, barking and howling. The can banged on the ground and hurt his tail. The dog was very sad and angry. + +Some people saw the dog and tried to help him. They saw the can and the string and realized what had happened. They untied the can and threw it away. They petted the dog and gave him some water and a treat. They looked around for the person who did this, but they did not see Sam. + +Sam was still hiding behind the tree. He thought it was funny to see the dog run and bark. He laughed and laughed. He did not care that he hurt the dog. He did not know that the dog had a friend, a big cat, who lived in the park. The cat saw what Sam did and did not like it. The cat decided to teach Sam a lesson. + +The cat waited until Sam came out of his hiding place. Then he jumped on him and scratched his face. Sam screamed and cried. He tried to run away, but the cat was faster. The cat chased him all the way to his home. Sam was very scared and sorry. + +The moral of the story is: Do not be mean to animals. They have feelings and they can fight back. Be kind and respectful to all living things. +Lily and Ben are playing with their toys in the living room. Lily has a big dollhouse with many rooms and furniture. Ben has a small car that he can push around. Lily likes to pretend that her dollhouse is a castle and she is the princess. Ben likes to pretend that his car is a race car and he is the driver. + +"Ben, do you want to play with me?" Lily asks. "You can be the prince and I can be the princess. We can live in the castle and have tea parties and dances." + +"No, thank you," Ben says. "I want to play with my car. It is fast and fun. I can zoom around the room and make noises." + +Lily feels sad. She wants to play with her brother, but he does not want to play with her. She thinks of a way to make him play with her. She sees a key on the table. It is the key to the car's battery. Without the key, the car cannot move or make noises. + +Lily takes the key and hides it behind her back. She walks over to Ben and says, "Ben, I have something for you. It is a surprise. Do you want to see it?" + +Ben is curious. He likes surprises. He stops playing with his car and looks at Lily. "What is it?" he asks. + +Lily smiles and says, "It is a key. A very special key. It is the key to the castle. If you want to enter the castle, you need the key. And I have the key. Do you want the key?" + +Ben is confused. He does not care about the castle. He cares about his car. He looks at his car and sees that the key is missing. He realizes that Lily has taken his key. He feels angry and shouts, "That is not fair! That is not the key to the castle. That is the key to my car. You took my key. Give it back to me. Give it back now!" + +Lily is scared. She did not expect Ben to be so mad. She thinks that he will hit her or take her dollhouse. She runs away from him and says, "No, I will not give it back. It is my key now. You have to play with me if you want the key. You have to be the prince and I have to be the princess. That is the rule." + +Ben chases after Lily. He wants his key back. He does not want to play with her. He does not want to be the prince. He wants to be the driver. He thinks that Lily is mean and selfish. He thinks that she is not a good sister. + +They run around the room, yelling and fighting. They knock over the furniture and the toys. They make a big mess. They do not have fun. They do not listen to each other. They do not share. They do not play. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play outside. They are adventurous. They want to find a treasure. + +They make a map with crayons. They draw a big X where the treasure is. They put the map in a backpack. They say, "We are a team. We can find the treasure together." + +They follow the map. They walk across the grass. They climb over a fence. They crawl under a bridge. They see a big tree. The map says the treasure is under the tree. + +They dig with their hands. They find a box. They open the box. They see shiny things. They see necklaces and rings and coins. They say, "Wow! We found the treasure!" + +They are happy. They hug each other. They say, "We did it! We finished our adventure!" They put the treasure in their backpack. They go back home. They show their parents what they found. Their parents are proud of them. They say, "You are a great team. You are very adventurous." Anna and Ben smile. They say, "Thank you. We had fun." They share the treasure with each other. They are good friends. +Lily and Max were best friends. They liked to play together every day. They liked to draw, to sing, to run and to laugh. They shared their toys and their snacks. They were very happy. + +One day, they found a big box in the garage. It was full of old clothes and hats and shoes. They decided to play dress-up. Lily put on a long white dress and a veil. Max put on a black suit and a tie. They looked at each other and smiled. + +"You look pretty, Lily," Max said. + +"You look handsome, Max," Lily said. + +They held hands and walked to the garden. They saw a big tree with pink flowers. They thought it was perfect. + +"Let's get married, Lily," Max said. + +"OK, Max," Lily said. + +They stood under the tree and said, "I do, I do, I do." They kissed each other on the cheek. They were very happy. + +They heard a voice from the house. It was Lily's mom. + +"Lily, Max, time for lunch!" she called. + +They ran to the house, still holding hands. They told Lily's mom they got married. She smiled and hugged them. + +"That's wonderful, my darlings," she said. "But you know, marriage is not just a game. It's a big promise. You have to love and respect and help each other always." + +"We know, mom," Lily and Max said. "We do, we do, we do." They were very happy. +Tom and Mia like to play in the park. They see many things in the park. They see trees and flowers and birds and swings. They also see a big rock. The rock is gray and hard and smooth. + +One day, Tom and Mia want to climb the rock. They think it is fun to be high and look around. They take turns to go up and down the rock. They are careful not to fall or hurt themselves. + +But then, Tom has a bad idea. He wants to make Mia laugh. He picks up a stick and draws a face on the rock. He draws two eyes, a nose, a mouth and some hair. He thinks the face is funny and silly. + +Mia sees the face and does not laugh. She is angry and sad. She likes the rock and does not want to see it with a face. She thinks Tom is mean and rude. She tells Tom to stop and erase the face. + +Tom does not listen. He thinks Mia is boring and silly. He draws more faces on the rock. He draws big teeth, long ears, a hat and a beard. He laughs and laughs. + +But then, a man comes to the park. He is the park keeper. He sees the faces on the rock and does not laugh. He is angry and stern. He tells Tom and Mia to come here. He asks them who did this and why. + +Tom is afraid and ashamed. He knows he did something wrong. He does not want to tell the truth. He points at Mia and says she did it. + +Mia is shocked and hurt. She knows she did not do it. She wants to tell the truth. She points at Tom and says he did it. + +The park keeper does not know who to believe. He looks at Tom and Mia and sees their faces. He sees that Tom is lying and Mia is telling the truth. He tells Tom to apologize and erase the faces. He tells Mia to forgive and forget. + +Tom is sorry and ashamed. He says he is sorry to Mia and the rock. He erases the faces with his stick. He promises not to do it again. + +Mia is happy and relieved. She says she forgives Tom and the rock. She hugs Tom and the rock. She hopes they can be friends again. + +The park keeper is glad and proud. He says he is glad they learned their lesson and he is proud they made up. He gives them a smile and a pat. He tells them to enjoy the park and respect the rock. He leaves them to play. + +Tom and Mia play in the park. They see many things in the park. They see trees and flowers and birds and swings. They also see a big rock. The rock is gray and hard and smooth. And they like it that way. +Ben and Jen are twins. They like to play and have fun. But they do not like to help Mom and Dad. They are lazy. + +One day, Mom makes a big cake. It smells good. She says, "Ben and Jen, come and eat some cake. But first, you have to help me set the table. Take these forks and put them on the plates." + +Ben and Jen do not want to help. They say, "No, Mom. We want to eat cake now. We do not want to hold forks. That is boring." + +Mom is sad. She says, "Ben and Jen, you are not nice. You have to learn to help and share. If you do not hold forks, you cannot eat cake." + +Ben and Jen do not listen. They run to the cake and try to grab it with their hands. But the cake is hot. They burn their fingers. They cry and drop the cake. The cake falls on the floor. It breaks into pieces. + +Mom says, "Oh, no. Look what you did. You wasted the cake. Now no one can eat it. You should have held forks. Forks are not boring. They are useful. They help you eat without hurting yourself. And they help you be polite and neat. Maybe next time, you will not be lazy and you will help me set the table." + +Ben and Jen are sorry. They say, "We are sorry, Mom. We were wrong. We were lazy and greedy. We did not think about you or the cake. We will hold forks next time. We will help you set the table. We will be nice and share. Can you forgive us?" + +Mom says, "Of course, I forgive you. I love you, Ben and Jen. But you have to learn from your mistake. Being lazy and greedy is not good. Being helpful and sharing is good. Now, let's clean up this mess and see if we can save some cake." + +Ben and Jen hug Mom. They say, "Thank you, Mom. We love you too. We will try to be better. We will hold forks and help and share." + +The end. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play outside, but today it is gloomy. The sky is gray and the wind is cold. They do not want to go out. + +"Can we play with our toys?" Anna asks Mom. + +Mom is busy in the kitchen. She is making oat cookies for them. She says, "Yes, you can play with your toys, but first you have to sit at the table and eat your oat porridge. It will make you warm and strong." + +Anna and Ben do not like oat porridge. They think it is boring and mushy. They want to eat oat cookies instead. They make faces at their bowls. + +"Please, Mom, can we have oat cookies now?" Ben begs. + +Mom shakes her head. She says, "No, you have to eat your oat porridge first. Oat cookies are for later. They are a treat, not a meal. Oat porridge is good for you. It has vitamins and fiber. It will help you grow and learn." + +Anna and Ben sigh. They do not care about vitamins and fiber. They care about oat cookies. They look at each other and have an idea. They pretend to eat their oat porridge, but they hide it under their spoons and napkins. They hope Mom will not notice. + +Mom is busy in the kitchen. She does not notice. She is happy that Anna and Ben are eating their oat porridge. She says, "Good job, Anna and Ben. You are such good eaters. Now you can have one oat cookie each. But only one, okay?" + +Anna and Ben smile. They say, "Okay, Mom. Thank you, Mom." They run to the kitchen and grab one oat cookie each. They bite into them and make yummy noises. They think they are clever and sneaky. + +But Mom is clever and sneaky too. She knows what they did. She sees the oat porridge under their spoons and napkins. She says, "Anna and Ben, I see what you did. You did not eat your oat porridge. You hid it. That is not nice. That is wasteful and dishonest. You have to eat your oat porridge now. And no more oat cookies for you today." + +Anna and Ben are shocked. They say, "Oh, no, Mom. We are sorry, Mom. We did not mean to be bad. We just do not like oat porridge. We like oat cookies. Please, Mom, can we have one more oat cookie? Please, please, please?" + +Mom shakes her head. She says, "No, you cannot have one more oat cookie. You have to eat your oat porridge now. And you have to learn to like it. It is good for you. Maybe tomorrow, if you eat your oat porridge, you can have two oat cookies. But today, you have to eat your oat porridge. No more oat cookies for you today." + +Anna and Ben are sad. They do not want to eat their oat porridge. They want to eat oat cookies. They think it is not fair. They think it is a gloomy day. They wish they could play outside. +Lily and her mom were going to the airport. They had big bags and a small furry cat. The cat was Lily's best friend. She did not want to leave him at home. + +At the airport, there were many people and noises. Lily held her mom's hand and followed her to a big desk. The man at the desk looked at their bags and gave them some papers. He said they could take the cat with them on the plane. + +Lily was happy. She put the cat in a small cage and carried it with her. She followed her mom to a big gate. There were more people and noises. Lily saw a big plane outside the window. She was excited and scared. + +She asked her mom, "Where are we going?" + +Her mom smiled and said, "We are going to visit grandma. She lives far away, but the plane will take us there fast. Don't worry, the cat will be with us all the time." + +Lily nodded and hugged the cage. She felt the cat purr. She followed her mom to the plane. She hoped grandma would like her furry friend. +Lily and Tom were best friends. They liked to play in the park every day. They liked to skip on the grass, swing on the swings, and slide on the slide. They had a lot of fun together. + +One day, they saw a big hill in the park. It looked very high and steep. Lily had an urge to climb the hill. She wanted to see what was on the other side. She said to Tom, "Let's go up the hill. It will be an adventure." + +Tom was not sure. He thought the hill was too scary. He said to Lily, "No, thank you. I like to stay on the ground. The hill is too high and steep. We might fall and hurt ourselves." + +Lily was not afraid. She was clever and brave. She said to Tom, "Don't worry. I have a plan. We can use this rope to help us climb. We can tie it to a tree and hold it as we go up. It will be safe and fun." + +Tom was still not sure. He liked Lily, but he did not like the hill. He said to Lily, "I don't know. I think the rope might break. And what if there is something bad on the other side? Maybe a monster or a snake?" + +Lily laughed. She said to Tom, "Don't be silly. There is no monster or snake. There is only a beautiful view. And the rope is strong and sturdy. It will not break. Come on, Tom. Trust me. It will be an adventure." + +Lily took Tom's hand and pulled him to the hill. She tied the rope to a tree and gave the other end to Tom. She said to Tom, "Hold the rope and follow me. We can do it. We can climb the hill." + +Tom held the rope and followed Lily. He was still scared, but he wanted to be with Lily. He wanted to be clever and brave like her. He wanted to have an adventure. + +They skipped on the hill, holding the rope. They went up and up, until they reached the top. They looked around and saw the park, the trees, the flowers, and the sky. They saw a rainbow and a bird. They saw a pond and a boat. They saw a lot of things they had never seen before. They were happy and amazed. + +They smiled at each other and said, "Wow! This is an adventure. We did it. We climbed the hill. We are clever and brave. We are best friends." +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play and explore. One day, they saw a big package in the living room. It was brown and had a red bow on it. + +"Wow, what is that?" Lily asked. + +"Maybe it is a present for us!" Ben said. + +They ran to the package and tried to open it. But it was too high and too heavy. They could not reach the bow or the tape. + +"Let's climb on the sofa and jump on it!" Ben said. + +"OK, but be careful!" Lily said. + +They climbed on the sofa and jumped on the package. But it was not a good idea. The package was not strong enough and it broke. Inside, there was a big mess of papers and books and pens. + +"Oh no, what have we done?" Lily said. + +They heard their mom coming from the kitchen. She had a surprised and angry look on her face. + +"What are you doing, kids?" she asked. + +They tried to explain, but they knew they were in trouble. They did not know that the package was for their dad, who was a writer. He had just finished his new book and was going to send it to the publisher. But now, his book was ruined. + +They learned a lesson that day. They should not touch things that are not theirs. And they should not climb on things that are not safe. And they should not judge things by their appearance. Sometimes, a package can be very interesting, but not in a good way. +Sam and Mia liked to play in the park. They had a big hut made of sticks and leaves. They pretended it was their home and they had many toys inside. + +One day, they saw a new boy in the park. He had a red bike and a blue helmet. He looked fast and fun. Sam and Mia wanted to be his friend. + +"Hi, I'm Sam and this is Mia. What's your name?" Sam asked. + +"I'm Leo. I like your hut. It's very creative," Leo said. + +"Thank you. Do you want to play with us?" Mia asked. + +"Sure. What do you like to play?" Leo asked. + +"We like to race. We run from the hut to the big tree and back. Do you want to race with us?" Sam asked. + +"OK. But I have a bike. Is that fair?" Leo asked. + +"It's OK. We can run fast. And you can share your bike with us later," Mia said. + +"Deal. Let's race. Ready, set, go!" Leo said. + +They all raced to the big tree and back. Leo was faster on his bike, but Sam and Mia were close behind. They had fun and laughed a lot. They became good friends and played in the hut together. They shared their toys and stories. They were happy. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play together. One day, they find a big box in the park. They open the box and see many shiny things inside. They see rings, necklaces, bracelets and earrings. + +"Wow, look at these!" Anna says. She picks up a ring and puts it on her finger. "This is so pretty!" + +Ben nods. He likes the ring too. He picks up another ring and holds it out to Anna. "Do you want to play marriage?" he asks. + +Anna looks at him and smiles. "Yes, I do!" she answers. She takes the ring from Ben and puts it on his finger. "Now we are married!" + +They hug and laugh. They pretend to be a married couple. They share the shiny things and make a house with the box. They are very happy. + +But they are not careful. They do not see the man who is looking for his box. He is angry. He sees Anna and Ben playing with his things. He runs towards them and shouts. + +"Hey, you little thieves! Give me back my things! Those are mine!" + +Anna and Ben are scared. They drop the shiny things and run away. They leave the box and the rings behind. They hold hands and run to their homes. + +They are not married anymore. They are just friends. But they still like each other. They hope the man will not find them. They hope they can play together again. +Lena liked to play in her room. She had many toys and books and a big wardrobe. She liked to open the wardrobe and look at the clothes. Sometimes she put on the clothes and pretended to be someone else. + +One day, Lena was bored. She wanted to have some fun. She opened the wardrobe and saw a big hole in the back. She was curious. She crawled into the hole and found a dark tunnel. She thought it was a secret place. She wanted to explore. + +She walked and walked in the tunnel. She did not see any light or hear any sound. She felt scared. She wanted to go back. But she did not remember the way. She was lost. She cried and cried. She wished she had stayed in her room. + +No one heard her cry. No one knew she was in the tunnel. No one came to find her. She was alone. She was hungry and cold and tired. She had no hope. She had no fun. She had a bad ending. +Sara likes to work with her mom. Mom is a baker. She makes cakes and pies and cookies. Sara helps her in the kitchen. She stirs and pours and rolls. She likes to make shapes with the dough. + +One day, mom has a big order. She has to make a lot of cakes for a party. Sara wants to help. Mom gives her a small cake to decorate. Sara is happy. She gets a bowl of pink frosting and a spoon. She spreads the frosting all over the cake. She makes swirls and dots and lines. She thinks it looks pretty. + +She puts the cake on a tray and carries it to the other side of the kitchen. She wants to show mom her work. But she does not see the cat. The cat is sleeping on the floor. Sara trips over the cat and falls. The cake falls too. It lands on the cat. The cat wakes up and meows. It is covered in pink frosting. + +Mom hears the noise and runs to Sara. She sees the cake and the cat and Sara. She is not angry. She hugs Sara and helps her up. She says, "It's okay, Sara. Accidents happen. You did a good job with the cake. It was very creative. But maybe next time, we should check the floor for cats first." + +Sara nods and says, "Sorry, mom. Sorry, cat." She wipes some frosting from the cat's fur and gives it a pat. The cat licks its paw and purrs. Sara smiles and says, "I still like to work with you, mom. Can I help you with another cake?" + +Mom smiles and says, "Of course, Sara. You are a great helper. Come on, let's go to the other side and find a new cake for you to decorate. And maybe a towel for the cat." They walk to the other side, holding hands. Sara is happy. She likes to work with her mom. And she likes pink frosting. And she likes the cat, even when it is pink. +Lily and Tom were playing with blocks in the living room. They liked to build towers and houses and cars with the blocks. Lily had a lot of triangle blocks, and she used them to make roofs and wheels. Tom had a lot of square and rectangle blocks, and he used them to make walls and doors and windows. + +"Look at my house, Lily!" Tom said. "It has four windows and a big door. Do you like it?" + +"Yes, Tom, your house is very nice," Lily said. "But look at my car, Tom! It has four wheels and a roof and a horn. Do you like it?" + +"Yes, Lily, your car is very cool," Tom said. "But can I have some of your triangle blocks? I want to make a bigger roof for my house." + +Lily did not want to share her triangle blocks. She liked them too much. She said, "No, Tom, these are my triangle blocks. You have enough blocks. Go away!" + +Tom felt sad and angry. He said, "That's not fair, Lily! You have to share! Give me some of your triangle blocks, or I will knock down your car!" + +Lily felt scared and worried. She said, "No, Tom, don't do that! That's mean! Leave my car alone!" + +Tom did not listen to Lily. He reached for her car and pushed it hard. The car fell down and broke into pieces. The triangle blocks flew everywhere. Lily cried out loud. + +"Tom, you are bad! You broke my car! I hate you!" + +Lily and Tom started to fight. They threw blocks at each other and yelled and screamed. They did not see that their mom was coming into the living room. She saw the mess and the noise and the tears. She was not happy. + +"Stop it, both of you!" she said. "What are you doing? Why are you fighting?" + +Lily and Tom stopped fighting. They looked at their mom. They felt ashamed and sorry. They said, "We are sorry, mom. We were playing with blocks, and we had a fight. We broke our toys and made a mess." + +Mom said, "I see. Why did you have a fight?" + +Lily said, "Tom wanted some of my triangle blocks, and I did not want to give them to him. He knocked down my car and broke it." + +Tom said, "Lily did not want to share her triangle blocks, and I wanted to make a bigger roof for my house. I pushed her car and made it fall." + +Mom said, "I understand. But you know, blocks are just blocks. They are harmless. They are not worth fighting over. You can always build something new with them. But you are brother and sister. You are family. You are worth more than blocks. You should love each other and share with each other and help each other. Do you understand?" + +Lily and Tom nodded. They said, "Yes, mom, we understand. We are sorry. We love each other. We will share and help." + +Mom said, "That's good. Now, why don't you hug each other and say sorry?" + +Lily and Tom hugged each other and said sorry. They felt better. They smiled and said, "Can we play with blocks again?" + +Mom said, "Yes, you can. But this time, play nicely and share your blocks. And remember, triangles are harmless. They are just shapes. They are not worth worrying about." + +Lily and Tom said, "Okay, mom. Thank you, mom. We love you, mom." + +Mom said, "I love you too, Lily and Tom. Now, have fun and be good." + +Lily and Tom picked up their blocks and started to build again. They used their triangle blocks and their square and rectangle blocks. They made a big house and a big car and a big boat. They played happily and peacefully. They did not worry about triangles anymore. They were happy. +Lily and Ben were playing in the living room. They saw a shiny thing on the table. It was an iron. Lily wanted to touch it. + +"Look, Ben, a shiny thing!" Lily said. "I want to touch it." + +"No, Lily, don't touch it!" Ben said. "It is hot and it can hurt you. Mommy said it is for making clothes smooth. It is not a toy. It is expensive." + +But Lily did not listen to Ben. She wanted to try the shiny thing. She reached out her hand and grabbed the iron. She screamed. It was very hot. It burned her hand. She dropped the iron. It fell on the floor and broke. + +Mommy heard the noise and came to the living room. She saw Lily crying and Ben scared. She saw the broken iron on the floor. + +"What happened here?" Mommy asked. + +"Lily touched the iron and it burned her hand and it broke," Ben said. + +Mommy was angry and sad. She took Lily to the bathroom and put some cream on her hand. She hugged her and said, "Lily, you should not touch things that are not yours. You should listen to your brother. He was trying to protect you. The iron was hot and it can hurt you. It was also expensive and now we have to buy a new one. You have to be careful and respectful." + +Lily felt sorry and ashamed. She said, "I'm sorry, Mommy. I'm sorry, Ben. I was curious and I wanted to try the shiny thing. I did not know it was hot and expensive. I will not touch it again. I will listen to you and be careful and respectful." + +Mommy and Ben forgave Lily. They hugged her and said, "We love you, Lily. We are glad you are okay. We hope you learned your lesson." + +Lily nodded and said, "I love you, Mommy. I love you, Ben. I learned my lesson." +Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They liked to match the animals with their sounds. Lily had a cow, a pig, a duck and a wolf. Ben had a dog, a cat, a bird and a lion. + +"Lily, what sound does the wolf make?" Ben asked. + +"The wolf says 'awoo, awoo'," Lily answered. + +"Like this?" Ben tried to make the sound, but it sounded more like a squeak. + +Lily giggled. "No, Ben, like this." She made a loud and long 'awoo, awoo'. + +Suddenly, they heard a knock on the door. They stopped playing and looked at each other. + +"Who is it?" Lily asked. + +"Aw, aw, aw," a voice said from outside. + +Lily and Ben gasped. It sounded like a wolf! + +They ran to their mom, who was in the kitchen. They hugged her and told her what they heard. + +"Mom, there is a scary wolf at the door!" Lily cried. + +"Mom, it wants to eat us!" Ben added. + +Mom smiled and hugged them. "Don't worry, my loves. It's not a wolf. It's your uncle Joe. He likes to play tricks on you. He's wearing a wolf mask and a furry coat. He's here to visit us and bring you some treats." + +Lily and Ben looked at each other. They felt silly and relieved. They followed their mom to the door and opened it. There was uncle Joe, holding a big bag of candy and a wolf mask. + +"Aw, aw, aw," he said, then took off the mask and laughed. "Surprise! Did I scare you?" + +Lily and Ben smiled and hugged him. They were not scared anymore. They were happy to see him. + +"Uncle Joe, you are so funny!" Lily said. + +"Uncle Joe, you don't match the wolf sound!" Ben said. + +They all laughed and went inside to enjoy the candy and play some more. +Lily was a shy girl who did not like to talk to new people. She liked to play with her dolls and read her books at home. But today, she had to go to school for the first time. She was scared and nervous. + +She packed her lunch in her pink bag. She had a sandwich, an apple and a cookie. She hoped no one would take her lunch or make fun of her. She hugged her mom and got on the bus. + +At school, she sat in a corner and did not say anything. She saw other kids laughing and playing, but she did not join them. She felt lonely and sad. + +At lunch time, she opened her bag and took out her sandwich. She was about to bite it when a boy came up to her. He had a big smile and curly hair. He said, "Hi, I'm Ben. What's your name?" + +Lily was surprised and scared. She did not know what to say. She held her sandwich tightly and looked down. + +Ben did not give up. He said, "I like your lunch. It looks yummy. Do you want to trade with me? I have a cheese stick, a banana and a cracker. They are also yummy." + +Lily looked at his lunch. She liked cheese sticks and bananas. She thought maybe he was nice and friendly. She said, "OK, I'll trade with you. My name is Lily." + +Ben smiled and said, "Nice to meet you, Lily. Do you want to sit with me and my friends? They are also nice and friendly." + +Lily felt a warm feeling in her chest. She nodded and said, "OK, I'll sit with you and your friends." + +She traded her lunch with Ben and followed him to his table. She met his friends and they talked and shared their food. She found out they liked some of the same things as her, like dolls and books. She laughed and smiled. + +She was glad she changed her lunch with Ben. She made a new friend and had fun. She was not shy anymore. She was happy. +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and laugh. They saw some flowers with pretty colors. They wanted to smell them. + +But when they got closer, they heard a loud buzz. They saw many bees flying around a hive. The hive was on a tree. The bees looked angry. + +"Let's go away!" Lily said. "The bees might sting us!" + +But Ben was curious. He wanted to see the hive. He said, "Wait a minute. I want to look." + +He took a step forward. But then a bee flew near his face. It made a scary noise. Ben was afraid. He ran back to Lily. + +"Ouch! That bee almost got me!" he said. + +Lily hugged him. She said, "I told you to go away. The bees don't like us near their hive. They want to protect it." + +Ben nodded. He said, "You're right. Let's play somewhere else. Maybe we can find some butterflies." + +They held hands and ran to another part of the garden. They saw some light and soft butterflies. They smiled and chased them. They forgot about the bees and the hive. They had fun. +Lila and Tom were adventurous kids. They liked to explore the farm and see the animals. One day, they decided to collect some corn from the field. They asked their mom if they could go. + +"Okay, but be careful and don't go too far," their mom said. "And come back before lunch." + +Lila and Tom nodded and ran to the field. They saw many tall plants with yellow ears. They pulled some ears and put them in a basket. They were happy and proud of their work. + +"Look, we have so much corn!" Lila said. + +"Yes, we do!" Tom said. "Let's take some to the chickens. They will like it." + +They carried the basket to the chicken coop. They saw many chickens clucking and pecking. They threw some corn to them and watched them eat. + +"Hello, chickens!" Lila said. "Do you like the corn?" + +"Bawk, bawk, bawk!" the chickens said. + +Lila and Tom laughed. They liked the chickens. They stayed with them for a while and then remembered their mom. + +"Oh, we should go back now," Tom said. "Mom will be waiting for us." + +"Okay, let's go," Lila said. "But first, let's take some corn for us too. We can eat it for lunch." + +They picked some more ears and put them in the basket. They waved goodbye to the chickens and ran back to the house. They showed their mom their corn and told her about their adventure. + +"Wow, you did a great job!" their mom said. "You are very adventurous kids. And you are very kind to the chickens. I'm proud of you." + +She hugged them and kissed them. She cooked some corn for them and they ate it. It was delicious. They thanked their mom and smiled. They had a fun and tasty day. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big slide. They want to go on the slide. + +"Me first!" Tom says. He runs to the slide. He does not wait for Lily. He does not look where he is going. He bumps into a boy. The boy falls down. He cries. He has a cut on his leg. It is red and open. + +"Sorry!" Tom says. He is scared. He does not help the boy. He runs away. He hides behind a tree. + +Lily sees what happens. She feels sad for the boy. She goes to the boy. She says, "Are you OK?" She gives him a hug. She helps him get up. She takes him to his mom. His mom says, "Thank you, Lily. You are very kind." + +Lily looks for Tom. She sees him behind the tree. She says, "Tom, why did you run away? You should say sorry to the boy. You should help him. That is what friends do." + +Tom feels bad. He says, "You are right, Lily. I was wrong. I was rude. I was not a good friend. I will say sorry to the boy. I will help him. I will be a better friend." + +Tom and Lily go to the boy and his mom. Tom says, "I am sorry, boy. I did not mean to hurt you. Can I help you?" The boy says, "It is OK, Tom. I forgive you. You can help me by playing with me." Tom says, "OK, boy. I will play with you. We can be friends." + +Tom, Lily, and the boy play together. They have fun. They share the slide. They are happy. They learn to be kind, to say sorry, and to help each other. That is what friends do. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They were having fun and making a lot of noise. Mommy was in the kitchen, making lunch for them. + +"Ben, I'm hungry," Lily said. "Can we have a snack?" + +"Me too," Ben said. "Let's go and see what Mommy has." + +They ran to the kitchen and saw a plate of cookies on the counter. They smelled yummy and looked crunchy. + +"Wow, cookies!" Lily said. "Can we have one, Mommy?" + +Mommy turned around and smiled. "Yes, you can have one each, but only after you wash your hands. And don't touch the rest of the cookies, they are for later." + +Lily and Ben nodded and went to the sink. They washed their hands with soap and water and dried them with a towel. Then they each took a cookie from the plate and bit into it. + +"Mmm, delicious!" Lily said. + +"Yummy!" Ben said. + +They finished their cookies and licked their fingers. Then they looked at the plate again. There were still many cookies left. + +"Can we have another one, Mommy?" Lily asked. + +"No, sweetie, that's enough for now. You have to save some room for lunch. And remember, the rest of the cookies are for later. Now go and play some more, I'll call you when lunch is ready." + +Lily and Ben sighed and went back to the living room. But Ben had a naughty idea. He whispered to Lily. + +"Let's take some more cookies when Mommy is not looking. She won't notice." + +Lily hesitated. She knew that was wrong. But the cookies were so good. And she was still hungry. + +"OK, but only one more each," she said. + +They waited until Mommy was busy with something else. Then they sneaked back to the kitchen and took two more cookies from the plate. They stuffed them in their mouths and ran away. + +But Mommy heard them. She followed them and saw the crumbs on their faces and clothes. + +"Hey, what did you do?" she asked. "Did you take more cookies?" + +Lily and Ben looked guilty. They nodded and hung their heads. + +"I'm sorry, Mommy," Lily said. + +"Me too," Ben said. + +Mommy was not happy. She scolded them. + +"That was very naughty of you. You disobeyed me and you lied to me. And you spoiled your appetite for lunch. You have to learn to share and to wait for your turn. Now go to your room and think about what you did. And no more cookies for you today." + +Lily and Ben felt bad. They knew they had made a mistake. They said sorry again and went to their room. They wished they had listened to Mommy and not taken more cookies. They learned their lesson. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with toys. Tom has a big chest full of toys. Sam has a small bag with some toys. + +One day, Sam comes to Tom's house. He sees Tom's chest and says, "Wow, you have so many toys! Can I play with them?" + +Tom says, "Yes, you can play with them. But you have to lend me some of your toys too. That is fair." + +Sam says, "OK, I will lend you some of my toys. But you have to be careful with them. They are my favorite toys." + +Tom says, "OK, I will be careful with them. You have to be careful with my toys too. They are my favorite toys." + +They open the chest and the bag and start to play. They have fun with each other's toys. They share and take turns. They are clever and kind friends. +Lily and Ben were very happy. They were going to the theater with Mom and Dad. They had never been to the theater before. They wondered what they would see and hear. + +They got in the car and drove to the big building. Mom gave them tickets and they went inside. It was very dark and quiet. Lily and Ben held Mom and Dad's hands. They saw many seats and a big stage. They found their seats and sat down. + +Soon, the lights went down and the music started. Lily and Ben saw people in costumes and masks. They were telling a story with their voices and their bodies. They made funny faces and noises. Lily and Ben laughed and clapped. They liked the theater. They wondered what other stories they could see and hear. +Lily and Sam were at the beach with their mom and dad. They liked to play in the sand and splash in the water. They saw some dolphins jumping in the waves. They were big and gray and shiny. + +"Look, mom, dolphins!" Lily shouted. + +"Wow, they are beautiful!" mom said. "Do you want to go closer and see them?" + +"Yes, yes!" Lily and Sam said. They ran to the water with their mom. Dad stayed on the sand with the towels and the snacks. + +Lily and Sam were very happy to watch the dolphins. They made funny noises and did tricks. One dolphin came very close to them and smiled. Lily and Sam smiled back. + +"Can we catch him, mom?" Sam asked. + +"No, Sam, you can't catch a dolphin," mom said. "They are wild animals. They live in the sea. They are not pets. You can only look at them and be nice to them." + +"But I want to catch him!" Sam said. He was foolish. He did not listen to his mom. He tried to grab the dolphin's tail. The dolphin did not like that. He splashed Sam with water and swam away. + +"Sam, that was not nice!" mom said. "You scared the dolphin. You could have hurt him. You have to say sorry." + +Sam was wet and sad. He realized he was foolish. He said sorry to the dolphin. The dolphin came back and nodded. He forgave Sam. He did one more trick and then he left with his friends. + +Lily and Sam learned a lesson. They learned to respect the dolphins and not try to catch them. They thanked their mom for taking them to the beach. They went back to their dad and told him what they saw. They had a fun day at the beach. +Lily and Ben are playing in the park. They see a squirrel on a tree. The squirrel has a big nut in its mouth. Lily and Ben want to see the squirrel closer. + +They walk to the tree and say hello to the squirrel. The squirrel looks at them and makes a noise. Lily and Ben think the squirrel is friendly. They have some bread in their bag. They break a piece of bread and offer it to the squirrel. + +The squirrel smells the bread and drops the nut. It comes down from the tree and takes the bread from Lily's hand. It eats the bread and makes a happy noise. Lily and Ben smile and pet the squirrel. The squirrel likes them. + +But then they smell something smelly. It is the nut that the squirrel dropped. It is old and rotten. Lily and Ben make a face and say yuck. The squirrel does not care. It likes the smelly nut. It picks up the nut and runs back to the tree. + +Lily and Ben laugh and wave goodbye to the squirrel. They are glad they offered the bread to the squirrel. They think the squirrel is funny and cute. They go back to playing in the park. +Ben and Mia were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but they wanted more. One day, they saw a big box in the living room. It had a sign that said "For Mom and Dad". + +"What is in the box?" Ben asked. + +"Let's find out!" Mia said. + +They opened the box and saw a lot of books. They were big and heavy and had words they could not read. + +"These are not toys!" Ben said. + +"Maybe we can use them for something else," Mia said. + +They took the books out of the box and piled them up on the floor. They made a tower, a bridge, a fort, and a slide. They had fun with the books, but they also made a mess. + +"Look what you did!" Mom said, when she came home. She was angry. "These books are not for playing. They are for reading. And they are not yours. They are a gift for your aunt and uncle. They love books. You have to put them back in the box and say sorry." + +"But we don't like books," Ben said. + +"They are ugly and boring," Mia said. + +"That is not nice," Mom said. "Books are not ugly. They are beautiful and interesting. They have stories and pictures and information. They can teach you new things and make you happy. You should not judge them by their covers. You should try to read them and enjoy them. Maybe you will gain something from them." + +"Like what?" Ben asked. + +"Like knowledge, imagination, and wisdom," Mom said. + +"What are those?" Mia asked. + +Mom smiled. She took a book from the shelf and sat down with Ben and Mia. She opened the book and showed them the words and the pictures. She read them a story about a brave knight, a clever princess, and a scary dragon. Ben and Mia listened and looked. They forgot about the mess and the box. They wanted to hear more. + +"Wow, this is a good book," Ben said. + +"Yes, it is," Mom said. + +"Can we read another one?" Mia asked. + +"Of course," Mom said. "But first, we have to clean up and say sorry. And then, we can read as many books as you want. There are many more on the shelf. And they are not ugly. They are wonderful." +Anna and Ben were very excited to go to the festival with their mom and dad. They had never seen so many lights, colors, and sounds before. They wanted to try everything: the rides, the games, the food, and the shows. + +"Look, mom, look, dad, a big wheel!" Anna shouted, pointing to the Ferris wheel. "Can we go on it, please?" + +"Sure, sweetie, but you have to wait in line with us, okay?" Mom said, holding her hand. + +Ben saw a clown making balloons into different shapes. He ran over to him and asked for a balloon. The clown smiled and asked, "What do you want, little boy?" + +"A dog, please!" Ben said. + +The clown took a long balloon and twisted it until it looked like a dog. He gave it to Ben and said, "Here you go, a balloon dog for you. Be careful, don't let it pop!" + +"Wow, thank you, mister!" Ben said, hugging his balloon dog. He ran back to his mom and dad and showed them his prize. + +"That's very impressive, Ben," Dad said, patting his head. "You have a very talented friend." + +Anna and Ben enjoyed the festival very much. They went on the big wheel, played some games, ate some cotton candy, and watched a magic show. They saw many things that made them laugh, wonder, and cheer. They learned that the festival was a place where people could change their normal day into a special day. They were very happy and grateful for their mom and dad. +Tim and Sue like to play in the park. They like to swing, slide and run. One day, they see a big hill. They want to climb the hill and see what is on the other side. + +They hold hands and start to climb. The hill is steep and slippery. Tim and Sue have to be careful. They are almost at the top when Tim slips and falls. He rolls down the hill and bumps his head on a rock. He cries out loud. + +Sue is very worried. She runs down the hill to help Tim. She sees blood on his head. She is scared. She hugs Tim and says, "It's okay, Tim. I'm here. Don't cry." + +Tim stops crying. He feels Sue's hug. He says, "Thank you, Sue. You are a good friend. My head hurts. Can we go home?" + +Sue nods. She helps Tim stand up. She holds his hand and walks with him to the park gate. They see their mom and dad waiting for them. They are happy to see them. + +Mom and dad are frustrated. They see Tim's head and Sue's clothes. They ask, "What happened? Are you okay?" + +Tim and Sue tell them what happened. They say, "We are sorry. We wanted to climb the hill. But Tim fell and hurt his head. Sue helped me. She is a good friend." + +Mom and dad hug them. They say, "We are glad you are okay. We are proud of you for helping each other. But next time, be more careful. Don't climb hills that are too high or too slippery. Okay?" + +Tim and Sue nod. They say, "Okay. We love you, mom and dad." + +Mom and dad take them home. They clean Tim's head and put a bandage on it. They give them some juice and cookies. They read them a story and tuck them in bed. They kiss them good night and say, "Sweet dreams, Tim and Sue." + +Tim and Sue smile. They say, "Sweet dreams, mom and dad." They close their eyes and fall asleep. +Lily and Ben were twins. They liked to play and have fun. But sometimes they were naughty and did not listen to Mom and Dad. + +One day, Mom and Dad had to go to a big meeting. They called a taxi to take them there. They told Lily and Ben to be good and stay with Grandma. + +Lily and Ben said yes, but they did not mean it. They wanted to go with Mom and Dad. They thought the meeting would be fun. They did not know it was boring. + +When Mom and Dad got in the taxi, Lily and Ben ran after them. They opened the door and jumped in. They shouted, "We want to go too!" + +Mom and Dad were very surprised and angry. The taxi driver was also angry. He said, "Get out of my taxi! You are making me late!" + +Lily and Ben felt very bad. They had embarrassed Mom and Dad. They had also made the taxi driver mad. They got out of the taxi and said sorry. + +Mom and Dad hugged them and said, "We love you, but you have to listen to us. We are going to a meeting, not a party. It is not for kids. It is boring. You will have more fun with Grandma. She has cookies and games for you." + +Lily and Ben understood.

If you stay inside and play nicely today, I will let you wear your white dress and go outside with Lily tomorrow, when the sun is shining. How does that sound?" + +Sara thinks about it. She really likes her white dress and she does not want to spoil it. And she does not want to hurt herself either. She also likes the idea of playing with Lily tomorrow, when the sun is shining.
