He can make sure it's not infected and give you some medicine if you need it," her mom said. + +"OK, mom. But I'm scared of the doctor. He has a big needle and a stethoscope and a white coat," Lily said. + +"Don't worry, Lily. The doctor is very nice and gentle. He won't hurt you. He just wants to help you feel better. And I'll be with you the whole time," her mom said. + +They got in the car and drove to the doctor's office. Lily held her mom's hand and tried to be brave. The doctor smiled and greeted them.

He hopes she will let him zoom in the house again someday. He still loves his car. He thinks it is the best car ever. He wants to make mom proud of him. He thinks of a new idea. He will zoom in his room and make a nice drawing for mom. He will show her how much he loves her and his car. He hopes she will like it. He runs to his room and zooms to his crayons. He starts to draw. He is happy again. +Lisa liked to do yoga with her mom. Yoga was when they made funny shapes with their bodies and breathed slowly. Lisa thought yoga was fun and good for her. + +One day, Lisa wanted to show her friend Ben how to do yoga. She invited him to her house and set up a mat in the living room. She told Ben to sit on the mat and follow her. + +"First, we do the cat pose," Lisa said. "We go on our hands and knees and make our backs round like a cat. Then we make our backs flat like a table. We do this five times. Meow!" + +Ben tried to do the cat pose, but he was chubby and his belly got in the way. He felt silly and started to giggle. Lisa giggled too. + +"Next, we do the tree pose," Lisa said. "We stand on one leg and lift the other leg and put it on our knee. We put our hands together and raise them over our heads. We balance like a tree. We do this on both legs. Tweet!" + +Ben tried to do the tree pose, but he was wobbly and fell over. He felt embarrassed and started to cry. Lisa hugged him and said, "It's okay, Ben. Yoga is hard. You did great. I like you just the way you are." + +Ben smiled and said, "Thank you, Lisa. You are a good friend. Can we do more yoga?" + +Lisa nodded and said, "Yes, we can. But first, let's have a snack. I have some cookies and milk. Come on!" + +They went to the kitchen and ate some cookies and drank some milk. They felt happy and full. Then they went back to the living room and did more yoga. They had a lot of fun and laughed a lot. They learned that yoga was not only good for their bodies, but also for their hearts. +Sam liked to whistle. He whistled when he woke up, when he ate, when he played, and when he went to bed. He whistled all kinds of songs, from nursery rhymes to his own tunes. He whistled so much that his mom and dad sometimes asked him to be quiet. + +One night, Sam was whistling in his bed, under his blanket. He was not sleepy yet, and he wanted to keep whistling. But his mom came to his room and said, "Sam, it's time to stop whistling and go to sleep. You need to rest, and so do we." + +"But mom, I like to whistle. It makes me happy," Sam said. + +"I know, Sam, but you can whistle again tomorrow. Now, please, turn off the light and close your eyes," his mom said. + +Sam did not want to stop whistling, but he did not want to make his mom angry. He turned off the light and closed his eyes, but he kept whistling softly under his blanket. He hoped his mom would not hear him. + +But his mom did hear him. She came back to his room and said, "Sam, I can still hear you whistling. You are being very persistent, but you need to stop. It's not polite to whistle at night. It can bother other people who are trying to sleep." + +Sam felt sorry for his mom. He did not want to bother her or anyone else. He said, "OK, mom, I will stop whistling. I'm sorry. I love you." + +"I love you too, Sam. Good night," his mom said. She kissed him on the forehead and left the room. + +Sam stopped whistling. He hugged his blanket and tried to sleep. He still felt happy, but he also felt a little sad. He missed whistling. He decided to whistle again in the morning, when the sun came up. He thought that maybe his mom and dad would like to whistle with him then. He smiled and fell asleep. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play with blocks and cars and dolls. One day, they decide to make a big house with their blocks. They work hard and use many blocks. They make walls and a roof and a door. They also make a window. + +"Look, we have a window!" Mia says. "We can see outside and wave to Mom and Dad." + +"Yes, we have a window!" Tom says. "We can see the sun and the birds and the trees." + +They are very proud of their house. They include their cars and dolls in their house. They pretend to live there and have fun. They show their house to Mom and Dad. + +"Wow, what a great house!" Mom says. "You are very clever and creative." + +"Wow, what a nice window!" Dad says. "You are very smart and careful." + +Tom and Mia smile. They are happy. They hug Mom and Dad. They love their house and their window. They love their friends and their family. +Lily and Tom were very excited to see the parade. They put on their hats and coats and went with Mom and Dad to the big street. They saw many people and cars and balloons and animals. They heard music and drums and horns. It was incredible! + +"Look, Lily, a clown!" Tom said, pointing to a man with a red nose and big shoes. "He is funny!" + +"Yes, he is!" Lily said, laughing. "And look, a horse! It is so pretty!" + +The clown saw Lily and Tom and smiled. He walked towards them and gave them each a balloon. "Hello, little ones!" he said. "Do you like the parade?" + +"Yes, we do!" Lily and Tom said. "Thank you for the balloon!" + +The clown nodded and winked. "You're welcome. But do you know what is even more fun than a balloon?" + +"What?" Lily and Tom asked. + +"A ride in my car!" the clown said. "Come with me, I'll show you!" + +The clown grabbed Lily and Tom by their hands and tried to pull them away from Mom and Dad. Lily and Tom were scared. They did not want to go with the clown. They wanted to stay with Mom and Dad. They tried to resist. They screamed and kicked and cried. + +"Help! Help!" Lily and Tom shouted. "Mom! Dad!" + +Mom and Dad heard their children and turned around. They saw the clown and ran to them. They pushed the clown away and hugged Lily and Tom. They were angry and scared. + +"Let go of our children, you creep!" Mom said. "How dare you!" + +"Sorry, sorry, it was just a joke!" the clown said. "I didn't mean any harm!" + +But Mom and Dad did not believe him. They called the police and told them what happened. The police came and took the clown away. He was in big trouble. + +Lily and Tom were safe, but they were not happy. They lost their balloons and their fun. They did not like the parade anymore. They wanted to go home. They cried and hugged Mom and Dad. + +The parade was over. It was a bad ending. +Tom and Anna liked to play school in the basement. They had a big blackboard, some chalk, and some books. Tom was the teacher and Anna was the student. Tom wrote some words on the blackboard and asked Anna to guess what they meant. + +Anna looked at the words and tried to guess. She said, "Cat is a furry animal that says meow. Dog is a furry animal that says woof. Snake is a long animal that says hiss. Lion is a big animal that says roar. Shark is a big animal that lives in the water and has sharp teeth." + +Tom nodded and said, "Very good, Anna. You are a smart student. But be careful, some of these animals are dangerous. You should not touch them or go near them. They can bite you or hurt you." + +Anna said, "I know, Tom. I only like to look at them in books or on TV. I would not want to meet a snake or a lion or a shark in real life. They are scary." + +Tom said, "Yes, they are. But you know what is not scary? Playing school with you. You are my best friend." + +Anna smiled and said, "You are my best friend too, Tom. Can we play some more?" + +Tom said, "Sure, let's play some more. I have more words for you to guess." +Tommy liked to play with his toys, but he did not like to share them with his sister Lily. He always wanted to have the best and the most toys, and he would not let Lily touch them. He would say, "Mine, mine, mine!" and push Lily away. + +One day, Tommy found a shiny cup in the kitchen. He thought it was a special cup, and he wanted to keep it for himself. He took the cup to his room and hid it under his bed. He did not know that the cup was a regular cup that Mommy used for her tea. + +Lily saw Tommy take the cup and followed him to his room. She knocked on the door and asked, "Tommy, can I see your cup? It looks pretty." Tommy said, "No, go away! This is my cup, and you can't have it!" He slammed the door in Lily's face. + +Lily felt sad and ran to Mommy. She told Mommy what Tommy did, and Mommy was not happy. She went to Tommy's room and opened the door. She saw Tommy holding the cup and said, "Tommy, what are you doing with my cup? This is not a toy, this is a regular cup that I need for my tea. You should not take things that are not yours, and you should share with your sister. How would you feel if Lily took your toys and did not let you play with them?" + +Tommy felt ashamed and realized that he was wrong. He said, "I'm sorry, Mommy. I thought this was a special cup, and I wanted to have it. But I see that it is a regular cup, and you need it. And I see that I was mean to Lily, and I made her sad. I don't want to be mean, I want to be nice. Can I give the cup back to you, and say sorry to Lily?" + +Mommy smiled and said, "Yes, you can. That is very good of you, Tommy. I'm proud of you for learning your lesson. Sharing is caring, and being nice is better than being mean. Come on, let's go find Lily and make her happy." + +Tommy and Mommy went to Lily and gave her the cup. Tommy said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I was wrong to take the cup and not share with you. This is a regular cup, not a special cup. You can have it if you want, or we can play with it together. Do you forgive me?" + +Lily smiled and hugged Tommy. She said, "I forgive you, Tommy. Thank you for being nice to me. I don't need the cup, but I would like to play with you. Can we play with your toys?" + +Tommy nodded and said, "Yes, we can. I will share my toys with you, and we can have fun together. I love you, Lily." + +Mommy watched them and felt happy. She said, "I love you both, Tommy and Lily. You are good children, and I'm glad you learned to share and be nice. Now, let's have some tea and cookies, and enjoy our regular cup." +Ben and Lily wanted to go to the festival. They liked the music, the games, and the food. They asked their mom if they could go. + +"Sorry, kids, we can't go today. The car is broken. It won't reverse. We have to wait for the mechanic to fix it," mom said. + +Ben and Lily were sad. They really wanted to go to the festival. They looked out the window and saw other kids walking to the festival. They felt left out. + +"Mom, can we please go to the festival? We can walk. It's not far. Please, please, please," Ben begged. + +"Me too, me too, me too," Lily echoed. + +Mom sighed. She knew how much they loved the festival. She checked her phone. The mechanic said he would be there in an hour. + +"Okay, kids, we can go to the festival. But we have to be back in an hour. And we have to be careful. The road is busy. And we have to stay together. Do you understand?" mom said. + +Ben and Lily nodded. They were happy. They put on their jackets and shoes. They grabbed their backpacks. They followed mom to the door. + +"Let's go to the festival. It will be fun. It will be light. It will be loud. Yay!" Ben said. + +"Yay!"

She buckled her seat belt. She told Ben and Lily to do the same. + +They got in the car. They buckled their seat belts. They waved to the mechanic. + +Mom started the car. She reversed. She drove home. + +Ben and Lily were tired. They were happy. They had a good day. + +They told mom they loved her. They told mom they loved the festival. + +Mom told them she loved them. She told them she was proud of them. + +They hugged. They kissed. They went to bed. They dreamed of the festival. +Lily and Max are playing in the park. They like to pretend they are spies and they have a secret mission. They use their gear to talk to each other and to find clues. Their gear is made of things they find at home, like a tin can, a string, a magnifying glass and a hat. + +"Max, do you copy?" Lily says into her tin can. She holds the string to her ear and waits for Max to answer. + +"Lily, I copy. I see something shiny near the slide. Maybe it is a clue. Over." Max says into his tin can. He holds the string to his eye and looks at the slide. + +"Good work, Max. I will meet you there. Over and out." Lily says. She puts her tin can in her pocket and runs to the slide. + +Lily and Max look at the shiny thing. It is a coin. They think it is very important for their mission. + +"Maybe this is the key to the treasure." Lily says. + +"Or maybe it is a trap." Max says. + +They are very creative and make up different stories about the coin. + +Suddenly, they hear a voice. + +"Hey, kids. What are you doing with my coin?" The voice belongs to a man who is sitting on a bench. He looks angry. + +Lily and Max are scared. They think the man is the enemy. + +"Run, Max. He is after us." Lily says. + +They grab their gear and run away from the man. They hide behind a tree and wait for him to go away. + +They are very brave and smart. They have completed their mission. They are happy. +Lily and Ben like to play near the creek. They find sticks and stones and make boats and bridges. One day, they see a big box by the road. It has a picture of a bike on it. + +"Look, a bike!" Lily says. "Can we have it?" + +Ben shakes his head. "No, it is not ours. Maybe someone will come for it." + +But no one comes for the box. Lily and Ben wait and wait. They get bored of playing with sticks and stones. They want to see the bike. + +"Let's open the box," Lily says. "Just a little peek." + +Ben is scared. "What if someone gets mad at us?" + +Lily says, "No one will know. Come on, it will be fun." + +They go to the box and tear the tape. They lift the lid and see the bike. It is shiny and red. It has two wheels and a bell. + +"Wow, it is so pretty!" Lily says. "Can we ride it?" + +Ben nods. "Yes, let's try it." + +They take the bike out of the box and put it on the ground. They take turns to ride it. They go up and down the road. They ring the bell. They feel happy. + +But the bike is not very good. It is cheap and weak. The wheels are wobbly and the bell is loose. The bike makes noises and shakes. + +Lily rides the bike to the creek. She wants to cross the bridge. But the bridge is made of sticks and stones. It is not strong enough for the bike. + +As Lily rides on the bridge, the bike breaks. The wheel falls off and the bell flies away. The bike and Lily fall into the creek. Lily gets wet and cold. She cries. + +Ben runs to help her. He pulls her out of the creek. He hugs her and says, "Are you okay?" + +Lily nods. She is okay, but she is sad. The bike is broken. She says, "I'm sorry, Ben. We should not have opened the box. We should not have taken the bike. It was not ours." + +Ben says, "It's okay, Lily. We made a mistake. We can say sorry to the owner. Maybe they will forgive us." + +They look at the box. It has a note on it. It says, "To the kids who live near the creek. Enjoy the bike. It is a gift from me. Love, Grandpa." + +Lily and Ben feel more sad. They did not know the bike was a gift. They did not know Grandpa was so nice. They wish they had not broken the bike. + +They decide to write a note to Grandpa. They say, "Dear Grandpa, thank you for the bike. It was very pretty. But we broke it. We are very sorry. We did not mean to. We hope you are not mad at us. Love, Lily and Ben." + +They put the note and the broken bike in the box. They hope Grandpa will see it. They hope Grandpa will understand. They hope Grandpa will still love them. +Mia likes to dance. She dances in her room, in the garden, and in the park. She dances with her dolls, her dog, and her friends.

She runs to her mom. + +"Look, mom, look! I found a ring!" Anna says. + +Mom looks at the ring. She smiles. She knows what it is. It is not a ring. It is a washer. It is a thing that people use to fix things. + +"That is a nice ring, Anna. But it is not a ring. It is a washer. It is a thing that people use to fix things. Do you want to keep it?" Mom says. + +Anna nods. She likes the washer. She thinks it is pretty. She wants to keep it. + +"Okay, you can keep it. But be careful. It is not a toy. It is a thing that people use to fix things.

Come on, let's go play on the swings." + +They hold hands and go to the swings. They are happy. They say thank you to the park. The park says welcome. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play outside. They had a big tree in their yard with many branches. They wanted to climb the tree and see the sky. + +"Can we climb the tree, Mom?" Tom asked. + +"Yes, but be careful. Don't go too high. And come down when I call you for lunch," Mom said. + +Tom and Lily put on their white hats and ran to the tree. They helped each other to reach the first branch.

We climb it every day. Please don't cut it," Tom said. + +The truck driver felt sorry for them. He looked at the tree and saw how big and beautiful it was. + +"I'm sorry, kids. I didn't know. I have a job to do, but I don't want to make you sad. Maybe I can find another tree to cut," he said. + +He called his boss and asked if he could change his plan. His boss agreed. He told the kids that he would leave their tree alone. + +"Thank you, thank you!" Tom and Lily said. + +They hugged the truck driver and the tree. They were happy again. + +They climbed the tree one more time and said goodbye to the birds and the clouds. Then they came down and went to their mom. + +"Mom, mom, guess what?

Mom cut the toast into small pieces for them and put them on their plates. + +"Thank you, Mom," Tom and Lily said. + +"You're welcome, my loves," Mom said. "But remember to eat nicely and not play with your food." + +Tom and Lily nodded. They picked up their forks and started to eat. But soon, Tom got bored. He looked at his toast and had an idea. He thought it would be fun to throw his toast like a frisbee. + +"Hey, Lily, look at this!" Tom said. He took a piece of toast and threw it across the table. It flew in the air and landed on Dad's head. + +"Tom, what are you doing?" Dad asked. He was surprised and annoyed. He took the toast off his head and looked at Tom. + +"That's not nice, Tom," Lily said. She did not like Tom's idea. She thought it was rude and wasteful. + +"Sorry, Dad," Tom said. He did not mean to make Dad angry. He just wanted to have some fun. + +"Tom, toast is not a toy. It is food. You should not throw it. You should eat it. It is good for you and it is useful. It gives you energy and makes you strong and smart," Mom said. She was calm and gentle. She wanted to teach Tom a lesson. + +"I understand, Mom," Tom said. He felt a little ashamed.

Sorry, Dad," Tom said. + +"It's OK, Tom. I forgive you. But next time, please don't throw your toast at me," Dad said. + +"I won't, Dad.

He was very angry. + +"Hey, what are you doing with my fireworks?" he shouted. He ran towards them. He had a lighter in his hand. + +Tom and Mia were scared.

Jill and Ben are scared. + +"Go away, dog!" Ben shouts. He throws the ball at the dog. The dog does not go away. It runs to the ball and bites it. The ball pops. The dog growls. + +"Help, help!" Jill cries. She holds the doll tight. She runs to the bike. She tries to get on the bike. The dog chases her. It jumps on the bike. The bike falls. Jill falls. The dog sniffs the doll. The doll squeaks. + +"Leave her alone, dog!" Ben yells. He picks up a stick. He runs to the dog. He hits the dog with the stick. The dog yelps. It runs away. Ben helps Jill up. He hugs her. + +"Are you okay, Jill?" Ben asks. + +"I'm okay, Ben. Thank you," Jill says. She smiles. She hugs him back. + +They look at the doll. The doll has a hole in her dress. The dog bit her. But she is still cute. Jill and Ben love her. + +They go inside the house. They tell their mom what happened. Their mom is proud of them. She gives them cookies and milk. She mends the doll's dress. She says they are brave. + +Jill and Ben are happy. They are friends. They have a ball, a bike and a doll. They are not scared of the dog. They hope the dog finds a home. +Anna liked to do yoga with her mom. Yoga was when they made funny shapes with their bodies and breathed slowly. Anna thought yoga was fun and good for her. She liked to copy her mom and stretch her arms and legs. + +One day, Anna and her mom went to a big room with many other people who also liked yoga. They put their mats on the floor and waited for the teacher. The teacher was a nice lady who smiled a lot and wore a colorful dress. She said hello to everyone and told them to follow her. + +Anna was excited to do yoga with so many people. She looked around and saw that some of them were very old. She wondered if they could do yoga as well as her mom. She decided to ask one of them. + +She walked up to a man who had white hair and a long beard. He looked very ancient to Anna. She tapped his shoulder and said, "Hello, mister. Can you do yoga?" + +The man turned around and looked at Anna. He was surprised by her question. He said, "Well, hello, little girl. Yes, I can do yoga. Why do you ask?" + +Anna said, "Because you are very old. And old people are not good at yoga. They are slow and stiff and tired. My mom is young and good at yoga. She can do all the shapes." + +The man frowned and said, "That's not very nice, little girl. Age doesn't matter for yoga. Yoga is for everyone. Old people can do yoga too. They are wise and calm and flexible. I can do all the shapes too. Watch me." + +The man then did a very difficult pose. He lifted his legs over his head and balanced on his hands. He looked very proud of himself. + +Anna was amazed by the man's pose. She said, "Wow, mister. You are very good at yoga. I'm sorry I said you were not. You are not old. You are ancient. And ancient is cool." + +The man smiled and said, "Thank you, little girl. You are very sweet. And you are very smart. Ancient is cool. And so is yoga. Come, let's do some more yoga together." + +Anna nodded and followed the man. She did some more yoga with him and learned some new shapes. She had a lot of fun. She also learned a new word. She learned that embarrass was when you said something wrong and felt bad. She felt embarrass when she said the man was not good at yoga. But she also learned that sorry was when you said something right and felt good. She felt sorry when she said the man was ancient and cool. She decided to use sorry more than embarrass. She liked to feel good. And she liked to do yoga. +Tom and Mia are twins. They like to play games and have fun. Sometimes they are competitive. They want to win and be the best. + +One day, they play a game of who can stretch the most. They stand on the grass and try to reach the sky with their hands. They also try to touch their toes with their fingers. They laugh and giggle as they stretch. + +"Look at me, I can stretch more than you!" Tom says to Mia. + +"No, you can't, I can stretch more than you!" Mia says to Tom. + +They keep stretching and stretching. They do not notice that their mom has brought them a snack. She puts a plate of cookies and a glass of milk on the table. + +"Tom, Mia, come and have a snack!" mom calls. + +But Tom and Mia do not hear her. They are too busy stretching. + +They stretch so much that they feel a pain in their stomachs. They stop stretching and hold their stomachs. They groan and moan. + +"Ow, ow, ow, my stomach hurts!" Tom says. + +"Ow, ow, ow, my stomach hurts too!" Mia says. + +They look at each other and feel sorry. They realize that they have stretched too much. They also realize that they have missed their snack. + +They walk slowly to the table. They see the cookies and the milk. They feel hungry and thirsty. + +"Sorry, mom, we were stretching too much," Tom says. + +"Sorry, mom, we were stretching too much too," Mia says. + +Mom smiles and hugs them. She says, "It's okay, my loves, but next time, don't stretch too much. And don't be too competitive. Stretching is good, but sharing is better." + +Tom and Mia nod and smile. They agree with mom. They sit down and share the cookies and the milk. They enjoy their snack and each other. They are happy and full. They do not stretch anymore. They cuddle with mom. They say, "We love you, mom." + +Mom says, "I love you too, Tom and Mia." +Tom liked to help his mom with the chores. He liked to fold the clothes, wash the dishes, and sweep the floor. But his favorite chore was to feed the iron. The iron was a big metal thing that made the clothes smooth and warm. Mom said the iron needed water to work, so Tom would fill a cup with water and pour it into the iron's mouth. + +One day, Tom was feeding the iron when he heard a loud noise. He looked out the window and saw a fire truck. It had red lights and a siren. Tom loved fire trucks. He wanted to see them up close. He forgot about the iron and ran outside. + +Mom was in the kitchen when she smelled something burning. She ran to the living room and saw the iron on the floor. It was smoking and sparking. The water had spilled out of the iron and onto the cord. The cord was on fire. Mom was very scared. She grabbed the iron and threw it outside. Then she called the firemen. + +The firemen came and put out the fire. They checked the house and said it was safe. They also saw Tom outside. He was watching the fire truck. He did not know what had happened. The firemen told him he was lucky. They said the iron could have burned the house down. They said he should never play with the iron. They said it was very serious. + +Tom felt bad. He did not mean to cause a fire. He just wanted to feed the iron. He said he was sorry to Mom and the firemen. He said he would never do it again. Mom hugged him and said she was glad he was okay. She said she loved him. She said he could still help with the chores, but only with the safe ones. She said he could feed the fish instead of the iron. Tom liked the fish. He said okay. He learned his lesson. +Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play outside. One day, they decided to go to the valley near their house. The valley was full of colorful flowers, trees and birds. Lily and Ben loved to see all the different colors and hear all the different sounds. + +"Look, Ben, a yellow flower!" Lily said, pointing to a daisy. "It is so pretty!" + +"Yes, it is, Lily. And look, a red bird!" Ben said, pointing to a cardinal. "It is so bright!" + +Lily and Ben picked some flowers and made a crown for Lily and a necklace for Ben. They felt like a princess and a prince. They decided to skip around the valley and pretend they were in a fairy tale. They skipped and sang and laughed. + +"Skipping is so fun!" Lily said, feeling happy. + +"It is, Lily. And you are so fast!" Ben said, feeling proud. + +They skipped until they were tired and hungry. Then they sat under a big tree and ate some cookies and juice that they had brought with them. They shared their food and thanked each other. + +"This is the best day ever!" Lily said, smiling. + +"It is, Lily. You are the best friend ever!" Ben said, hugging her. + +They finished their snack and packed their things. They said goodbye to the valley and the flowers and the birds. They held hands and walked back to their house. They were happy and grateful for their adventure. +Tom likes to play with his toy car. He can make it go fast and slow, and turn left and right. He likes to make it zoom around the floor and pretend it is a race car. + +One day, he is playing with his toy car when it stops moving. He tries to make it go, but it does not. He feels sad and angry. He thinks his toy car is broken. + +He shows his toy car to his mom. She looks at it and says, "It is not broken, Tom. It just needs a new battery. A battery is something that makes your toy car work. It has power inside, but sometimes it runs out of power. Then you need to put a new battery in." + +She takes out the old battery and puts a new one in. She says, "Now try it, Tom." Tom pushes the button and his toy car starts moving again. He feels happy and excited. He says, "Thank you, mom. You fixed it!" + +He plays with his toy car again. He makes it go fast and slow, and turn left and right. He likes to make it zoom around the floor and pretend it is a race car. + +But he also remembers to pause sometimes. He pauses to hug his mom and say, "I love you, mom. You are the best." He pauses to share his toy car with his sister and say, "Do you want to play with me?" He pauses to eat his snack and say, "This is yummy, mom. But not as yummy as you." + +He does not like bitter things. Bitter things make his face scrunch up and his tongue feel bad. He likes sweet things and salty things and sour things. But most of all, he likes his mom and his toy car. They make him feel good and happy. He thinks they are the best things in the world. +Anna and Ben are playing in the snow. They make a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They give him a carrot nose and two buttons for eyes. They are very happy. + +"Look, our snowman is smiling!" Anna says. + +"Yes, he is very nice. Do you think he can talk?" Ben asks. + +They go closer to the snowman and listen. They hear nothing. + +"Maybe he is shy. Or maybe he is cold. He has no coat," Anna says. + +She takes off her coat and wraps it around the snowman. Ben does the same with his mittens. They hug the snowman and say, "We are your friends. Don't be afraid." + +The snowman feels warm and loved. He wants to say thank you, but he cannot. He is made of snow. He can only shiver and wonder. + +He wonders how long he can stay with Anna and Ben. He wonders what they will do next. He wonders if they will come back tomorrow. + +He hopes they will. He likes them very much. + +But the sun is getting brighter and warmer. The snowman feels himself melting. He feels his hat and scarf and coat and mittens slipping off. He feels his carrot nose and buttons falling down. He feels his smile fading. + +He is very sad. + +He wishes he could tell Anna and Ben goodbye. He wishes he could go with them. He wishes he could be a real boy. + +But he cannot. He is made of snow. He can only shiver and wonder. + +He shivers and wonders until he is gone. +Tim had a lot of toys, but his favorite was his soldier. He liked to play with him every day, and make him march and fight and save the world. He gave him a name, Sam, and a hat, and a gun. He put him on his bed, on his table, on his chair, and sometimes in his pocket. + +One day, Tim's mom said they had to go to the store. She said he could bring one toy with him. Tim wanted to bring Sam, but he could not find him. He looked under his bed, on his table, on his chair, but he was not there. He felt sad and scared. Where was Sam? + +He asked his mom, "Mom, where is Sam? I want to bring him to the store." + +His mom said, "I don't know, Tim. Maybe you left him somewhere. Let's go, we are late." + +Tim followed his mom, but he was not happy. He missed Sam. He hoped he would find him soon. + +At the store, Tim saw a lot of things. He saw food, and clothes, and books, and toys. He saw a big shelf with many soldiers, like Sam. He ran to the shelf and looked at them. They were all different colors and sizes, but none of them was Sam. He felt sad and angry. He wanted his Sam, not these soldiers. + +Then, he saw something that made him gasp. He saw Sam, on the shelf, with a price tag on his hat. He could not believe it. How did Sam get here? Who put him here? He grabbed Sam and hugged him. He was so happy to see him. He said, "Sam, I found you! You are my soldier, not theirs. I love you, Sam." + +He heard a voice behind him. It was a girl, with long hair and a dress. She said, "Hey, that's my soldier. I saw him first. He is beautiful. Give him to me." + +Tim turned around and saw the girl. He did not like her. He did not think she was beautiful. He thought she was mean and rude. He said, "No, he is not your soldier. He is my soldier. I had him first. He is not beautiful. He is brave and strong. Go away." + +The girl did not go away. She reached for Sam and tried to take him from Tim. Tim held on to Sam and pulled him back. They started to fight and yell. They made a lot of noise. + +Tim's mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw Tim and the girl fighting over Sam. She said, "Tim, what are you doing? Stop fighting. That's not your soldier. That's the store's soldier. You can't take him. You have to pay for him." + +Tim said, "No, mom, that's my soldier. That's Sam. He was on my bed, on my table, on my chair. Someone took him and put him here. He is mine. I want him." + +Tim's mom looked at Sam. She recognized him. She remembered that she had put him in a bag with some old toys that she wanted to donate to the store. She had forgotten to tell Tim. She felt sorry and guilty. She said, "Oh, Tim, I'm sorry. I made a mistake. I put Sam in the wrong bag. I didn't mean to give him away. He is your soldier. You can have him." + +She took Sam from Tim and gave him a kiss. She said, "I'm sorry, Sam. You are a good soldier. You belong to Tim. He loves you." + +She paid for Sam and gave him back to Tim. Tim hugged Sam and smiled. He said, "Thank you, mom. Thank you, Sam. You are my best friend. Let's go home." + +He followed his mom, with Sam in his hand. He was happy. He had his soldier back. He did not care about the girl or the other soldiers. He only cared about Sam. He was his soldier, and he was beautiful. +Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play with lumber. Lumber is wood that people use to make things. Tim and Sam have many pieces of lumber in their backyard. They use them to build forts, bridges, and towers. + +One day, Tim and Sam want to make a big tower. They stack the lumber high and wide. They are very cheerful. They think their tower is the best. They want to show it to their mom and dad. + +But then, a strong wind comes. It blows hard on the tower. The tower starts to shake and wobble. Tim and Sam are scared. They run away from the tower. They hear a loud noise. The tower falls down. The lumber breaks into many pieces. + +Tim and Sam are sad. They look at their broken tower. They cry. They worked hard to make it. They think their mom and dad will be mad at them. + +But then, their mom and dad come. They see the broken tower and the lumber. They hug Tim and Sam. They say, "Don't cry, boys. We are not mad at you. We are proud of you. You tried to make something great. Sometimes things break. That's okay. You can try again. We will help you. We love you." + +Tim and Sam smile. They feel better. They say, "Thank you, mom and dad. We love you too. We will try again. Can we keep the lumber?" + +Mom and dad say, "Yes, you can keep the lumber. But be careful. And have fun." + +Tim and Sam are cheerful again. They hug their mom and dad. They pick up the lumber. They start to make a new tower. They hope the wind will not blow it down. +Ben and Lily were playing in the park with their dog Spot. Spot liked to run and chase the ball that Ben threw for him. Lily liked to watch Spot and clap her hands. + +One day, a big car came to the park. It was very loud and fast. Ben and Lily saw the car and ran to the side of the road. They told Spot to come with them, but Spot did not hear them. He was too busy with the ball. + +"Spot, come here!" Ben shouted. "The car is coming!" + +But Spot did not listen. He ran across the road to get the ball. The car did not see Spot. It did not stop. It did not yield. It hit Spot with a big thud. + +Ben and Lily heard the thud and screamed. They ran to Spot and hugged him. But Spot did not move. He did not bark. He did not wag his tail. He was dead. + +Ben and Lily cried and cried. They loved Spot very much. They did not want to lose him. The car drove away and did not say sorry. Ben and Lily were very sad and angry. + +They buried Spot in the park under a big tree. They made a cross with sticks and wrote his name on it. They said a prayer for Spot and thanked him for being their friend. They said goodbye to Spot and kissed him. They missed him a lot. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play in the garden. They have a big tub of water and some toys. They splash and soak each other. They laugh and have fun. + +"Look, Anna, the sky is pink and orange!" Ben says. He points to the sunset. "It is so pretty!" + +Anna looks up and nods. She likes the sunset too. She sees a bird flying by. She waves to the bird. "Hello, bird!" she says. + +The bird chirps and flies away. Anna and Ben smile. They are glad they have each other. They are glad they have a nice garden. They are glad they can see the sunset. + +"Let's go inside, Anna. It is getting dark," Ben says. He picks up his toys and puts them in the tub. + +"OK, Ben. Let's go," Anna says. She does the same. They hold hands and walk to the house. They are wet and cold, but they are happy. They hug their mom and dad. They have a warm bath and a cozy bed. They dream of the sunset and the bird. +Ben and Sam were best friends. They liked to play with their toy cars and trucks. They had many colors and shapes of cars and trucks. They made roads and bridges with blocks and books. + +One day, Ben saw a new car in Sam's hand. It was red and shiny and had a big horn. Ben wanted the car very much. He said to Sam, "Can I play with your car?" + +Sam said, "No, this is my car. My mom gave it to me. You have your own cars." + +Ben felt angry and sad. He thought Sam was not a good friend. He waited until Sam was not looking. Then he ran and took the car from Sam's hand. He ran away with the car. + +Sam saw Ben take his car. He shouted, "Hey, that's my car! Give it back!" He ran after Ben. Ben ran faster. He did not want to give back the car. He wanted to keep it. + +But Ben did not see where he was going. He ran into a big rock. He fell down and dropped the car. The car hit the rock and broke. The horn fell off and the wheels came out. The car was a wreck. + +Ben and Sam both cried. They looked at the wrecked car. They felt sorry and ashamed. They knew they did a bad thing. They said to each other, "I'm sorry. I was wrong. I should not have taken your car. I should not have been selfish. I should have shared with you." + +They hugged and forgave each other. They learned a lesson. They learned that taking what is not yours is wrong. They learned that sharing is good. They learned that friendship is more important than a toy. They learned that a mighty car is not as mighty as a mighty heart. +Timmy was very excite to help his mom with the dishes. He liked to turn the faucet on and off and make bubbles with the soap. He wanted to show his mom how good he was at washing the plates and cups. + +"Can I wash this one, mom?" he asked, holding a big glass. + +"Sure, Timmy, but be careful. It's very fragile. That means it can break easily," his mom said. + +Timmy nodded and put the glass under the faucet. He rubbed it with the sponge and made it shiny. He was very proud of his work. He lifted the glass to show his mom, but he did not see the cat behind him. + +The cat was curious and wanted to play with the bubbles. He jumped on the counter and bumped into Timmy. Timmy lost his balance and dropped the glass. It fell on the floor and broke into many pieces. + +"Oh no!" Timmy cried. He felt very sad and scared. He thought his mom would be angry with him. + +His mom heard the noise and came to see what happened. She saw the broken glass and the cat. She was not angry. She was glad that Timmy was not hurt. + +"It's okay, Timmy. It was an accident. The glass was not important. You are important. I'm proud of you for trying to help me," she said. She hugged him and kissed him. + +Timmy felt better. He hugged his mom back and said he was sorry. He also said sorry to the cat, who looked sorry too. + +They cleaned up the mess together and finished the dishes. Timmy learned to be more careful with fragile things. He also learned that his mom loved him no matter what. He was happy and excite to help his mom again. +Lily loved to draw with her crayons. She liked to make images of animals, flowers and people. She had a big book of images that she looked at for ideas. One day, she saw an image of a famous singer that she liked. She decided to draw her with her purple crayon. + +She drew a big circle for the head, two dots for the eyes, a line for the mouth and some curly lines for the hair. She drew a dress with stars and a microphone in the hand. She was very proud of her image and showed it to her mom. + +"Wow, Lily, that's a beautiful image!" her mom said. "Who is it?" + +"It's Anna, the famous singer!" Lily said. "She sings very nice songs. I want to be like her when I grow up." + +Her mom smiled and hugged her. "You can be anything you want, Lily. You have a lot of talent and imagination." + +Lily was very happy and hugged her mom back. She put her image on the fridge with a magnet. She hoped that Anna would see it someday and like it too. + +The next day, Lily and her mom went to the park. They saw a big crowd of people near a stage. They heard music and singing. Lily recognized the voice. It was Anna, the famous singer! She was performing live in the park! + +Lily was very excited and pulled her mom to the front of the crowd. She wanted to see Anna up close. She saw her on the stage, wearing a dress with stars and holding a microphone. She looked just like her image! + +Lily waved her hand and shouted, "Anna, Anna, look at me! I drew you with my crayon!" + +Anna heard her and looked at her. She saw the image on Lily's hand. She smiled and waved back. She said, "Hello, Lily! Thank you for drawing me! You are very sweet and talented!" + +Lily was overjoyed. She couldn't believe that Anna saw her and talked to her. She felt a warm feeling in her chest. She trembled with happiness and joy. She said, "Thank you, Anna! You are my favorite singer! I love you!" + +Anna said, "I love you too, Lily! You made my day!" She blew her a kiss and continued to sing. + +Lily and her mom watched and listened to Anna. They clapped and cheered along with the crowd. Lily felt like she was in a dream. She had met her idol and made her happy. She thought, "This is the best day ever!" +Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They liked to make noises and pretend they were animals. Lily was a cat and Ben was a dog. They chased each other and had fun. + +But then Mom came in and said, "Stop, stop, stop! You are making too much noise. It is time for bed. Put away your toys and brush your teeth. You have to sleep now." + +Lily and Ben did not want to stop. They wanted to play more. They said, "No, no, no! We are not tired. We want to play. Just one more minute, please." + +Mom was not happy. She said, "No, you have to listen to me. You have to be kind and obey. If you don't stop, you will be in trouble. I will take away your toys and you will have no stories." + +Lily and Ben did not listen. They kept playing and making noise. They thought Mom was not serious. They thought she would not do what she said. + +But they were wrong. Mom was very serious. She came back and saw them still playing. She was very angry. She said, "That's it. You did not stop. You did not obey. You were not kind. Now you have to face the consequences." + +She took away their toys and put them in a box. She said, "You will not see these toys again for a long time. You will have no stories tonight. You will go to bed without a hug or a kiss. You will be very sad and sorry." + +Lily and Ben cried and cried. They realized they made a big mistake. They wished they had stopped and listened to Mom. They wished they had been kind and obeyed. They wished they had a good ending. But it was too late. They had a bad ending. +Anna liked to help her grandma in the kitchen. She wore a small apron that grandma made for her. She helped to stir the soup, wash the salad, and cut the bread. She felt very happy and proud. + +One day, grandma had to go to the store to buy some milk. She told Anna to stay in the kitchen and not to touch anything. She locked the door and said she would be back soon. Anna nodded and said, "Okay, grandma, I will be good." + +But after a while, Anna got bored. She saw a shiny key on the table. She wondered what it could unlock. She picked it up and tried it on different drawers and cabinets. She found some spoons, some napkins, some cookies, and some spices. She tasted some of the cookies and spices. They were yummy and spicy. + +Then she tried the key on the oven. It fit and turned. She opened the oven and saw a big cake inside. It smelled so good. She wanted to have a bite. She reached for the cake, but it was very hot. She burned her hand and cried out loud. + +Grandma heard her cry and ran back to the kitchen. She saw Anna with the key, the oven, and the cake. She was very angry and worried. She took Anna to the sink and ran some cold water over her hand. She said, "Anna, why did you unlock the oven? You could have hurt yourself very badly. You should have listened to me and not touched anything. That cake was for your birthday. Now it is ruined." + +Anna felt very sorry and ashamed. She said, "I'm sorry, grandma. I was curious and hungry. I wanted to see what the key could unlock. I didn't mean to spoil the cake. Please forgive me." + +Grandma hugged her and said, "I forgive you, Anna. But you have to learn to be patient and obedient. Curiosity is good, but not when it leads you to do dangerous or naughty things. The key was old and broken. It should not have unlocked the oven. It was a mistake. Next time, you have to wait for me and ask me before you touch anything. Do you understand?" + +Anna nodded and said, "Yes, grandma. I understand. I love you, grandma. And I love your cake. Can we still have some?" + +Grandma smiled and said, "Yes, we can still have some. But only after we clean up this mess. And after you put some cream on your hand. And after you say sorry to the cake." + +Anna laughed and said, "Okay, grandma. I'm sorry, cake. You are still beautiful and delicious. Thank you for being my birthday cake." + +Grandma and Anna cleaned up the kitchen and ate some cake. They were happy and grateful. Anna learned her lesson and never unlocked the oven again. +Ben and Lily were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make food for their toys. Ben opened the cabinet to get some plates, but it was empty. There were no plates, no cups, no bowls, nothing. + +"Where are all the plates?" Ben asked. + +"I don't know," Lily said. "Maybe Mommy took them." + +Ben was sad. He wanted to give his teddy bear some cake, but he had no plate. He looked around the kitchen, but he could not find any plates. + +"Maybe we can use something else," Lily said. She saw a big hat on the table. It was Daddy's hat. He wore it when he went outside. Lily took the hat and put it on the floor. She said, "Look, Ben, this can be a plate. It is round and flat." + +Ben smiled. He thought that was a good idea. He took some cake from the box and put it on the hat. He said, "Here, teddy, this is for you. Enjoy your cake." + +Teddy did not say anything, but he looked happy. Ben and Lily were happy too. They did not need plates to play. They had a hat and a lot of imagination. They gave their toys more food and had a lot of fun. +Ben and Lily were twins. They liked to play in their house. They had many toys and books. But they did not like to share. + +One day, they found a big ball in the closet. It was red and shiny. They both wanted to play with it. + +"Give me the ball!" Ben said. + +"No, it is mine!" Lily said. + +They pulled and pushed. The ball flew out of their hands. It rolled down the stair. + +"Oh no!" Ben and Lily said. + +They ran after the ball. They did not want to lose it. But the ball was too fast. It bounced and rolled. It passed the living room, the kitchen, and the door. + +Outside, a boy saw the ball. He was Sam. He was their neighbor. He liked to play with balls. He caught the ball and smiled. + +"Wow, what a nice ball!" Sam said. + +He threw the ball in the air. He kicked it with his foot. He had fun. + +Ben and Lily came outside. They saw Sam and the ball. They were angry. + +"Hey, that is our ball!" Ben said. + +"Give it back!" Lily said. + +They ran to Sam. They tried to grab the ball. But Sam was bigger and stronger. He held the ball tight. + +"Sorry, I found it. It is mine now." Sam said. + +He laughed. He ran away with the ball. + +Ben and Lily were sad. They had no ball. They had no fun. + +They looked at each other. They felt sorry. + +"Maybe we should have shared the ball." Ben said. + +"Yes, that would have been fair." Lily said. + +They hugged. They went back to their house. They decided to play with their other toys and books. And they decided to share. +Sara and Tom are in the car with Mom. They are going to the park. But there is a lot of traffic on the road. The cars are not moving. Sara and Tom are bored. + +"Mom, why are we not moving?" Sara asks. + +"Because there is too much traffic, Sara. We have to wait until the road is clear," Mom says. + +"Can you tell us a story, Mom?" Tom says. + +"Okay, I can tell you a story. Do you see that big orange truck over there?" Mom says. + +"Yes, we see it. It is very big and orange," Sara and Tom say. + +"Well, that truck is carrying a lot of oranges. It is going to the market to sell them. But on the way, it met a monkey. The monkey was hungry and wanted some oranges. So he jumped on the truck and opened the back door. He started to take the oranges and eat them. He also threw some oranges at the other cars. That is why there is so much traffic. The monkey made a big mess," Mom says. + +"Wow, that is a funny story, Mom. Did the truck driver see the monkey?" Sara says. + +"Yes, he saw the monkey. He was very angry. He stopped the truck and got out. He tried to catch the monkey. But the monkey was too fast and smart. He ran away with some oranges. He climbed a tree and laughed at the truck driver. The truck driver had to pick up the oranges and put them back in the truck. He also had to say sorry to the other drivers. He was very late for the market," Mom says. + +"That is a silly monkey. He should not take the oranges. He should ask nicely," Tom says. + +"You are right, Tom. The monkey should not take the oranges. He should ask nicely. And he should not throw the oranges at the other cars. He should share them. That is what good friends do," Mom says. + +"Mom, you are a good friend. You share your stories with us. We like your stories," Sara and Tom say. + +"Thank you, Sara and Tom. You are good friends too. You listen to my stories. I like your questions," Mom says. + +"Look, Mom. The traffic is moving. We can go to the park now," Sara says. + +"Yes, we can.

Lily thought it would make a good wand. She picked it up and waved it in the air, pretending to do magic. + +She ran around the woods, saying magic words and pointing her branch at different things.

We were too rough with our cars. We are sorry." + +They hug each other and say, "It's okay. We still have other cars to play with. And we can find other ways to race them. We don't need the wire.

He has red stamps, green stamps, yellow stamps, and more. He likes them all. He does not want to give any to Lily. + +"No, Lily, these are my stamps," he says. "You have to find your own." + +Lily starts to cry. She does not think that is fair. She wants to play with the stamps too. + +"Ben, that is not nice," she says. "You have to share. Sharing is good." + +Ben thinks for a moment. He sees that Lily is very sad. He remembers that Lily is his sister and his friend. He does not want to make her cry. + +"OK, Lily, I'm sorry," he says. "You can have some of my stamps. Here, you can have this one." + +He gives her a dirty stamp with a dog on it. It is not very pretty, but it is a stamp. + +"Thank you, Ben," Lily says. She smiles.

He saw the owl was using its talons to dig around in the ground! He decided to investigate and discovered a small pile of eggs. He got so excited and decided to tell the park ranger. + +At first the park ranger was just as amazed as the boy. But soon the ranger realized there were some bald owl eggs and that meant mama owl would soon be there to guard them. So the ranger set up a sign warning people not to park in that spot so as not to disturb mama owl. + +The boy was happy knowing he had discovered the bald owl's eggs and helped to protect them.

She ignored her mom and kept watching the show. + +After a while, Lily got bored of the show and looked around her room. She saw that her toys were making a big mess. She decided to clean them up so she could play with them later. + +From that day on, Lily learned that sometimes it's okay to ignore the TV and do other things, like playing with toys or listening to her mom. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She had a black cat named Midnight. One day, Midnight vanished! Lily searched everywhere for her cat, but she couldn't find her. She felt very sad and pale. + +Lily asked her friend, Tommy, if he had seen Midnight. Tommy said, "No, but don't worry, I'll help you find her." They looked under the bed, in the closet and even outside, but Midnight was nowhere to be found. + +Finally, they went to the park and saw a little boy playing with a black cat. It was Midnight! Lily was so happy to find her cat. The little boy said, "I found her wandering around the park. I was going to keep her, but I knew she belonged to someone else." + +Lily thanked the little boy and learned a valuable lesson: always keep an eye on your pets so they don't vanish. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She loved animals, especially dogs. One day, Lily went to the park and saw a cute puppy. She wanted to pet the puppy, but the puppy bit her finger! + +Lily's mom took her to the doctor for an exam. The doctor said that Lily's finger was okay, but she needed to be careful around dogs. + +After the exam, Lily's mom asked her if she wanted to go to the library. Lily said yes, because she loved books. At the library, Lily found an interesting book about animals. She showed the book to her mom and said, "Look, Mommy! This book has pictures of dogs. Can we read it together?" + +Lily and her mom sat down and read the book. Lily learned a lot of new things about dogs and how to be safe around them. She was happy that she could still learn new things even after a scary experience. +Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Lily. She loved to play in the park with her friends. One day, while they were playing, they saw a big dog running towards them. They got scared and ran away. Lily's friend, Emily, fell and hurt her knee. It was an emergency! They needed to call for help. Lily quickly ran to the nearby phone booth and called 911. The ambulance came and took Emily to the hospital. After the emergency was over, Lily's friends admired her for being brave and smart. They said she was a hero! When Lily went home, her mom was happy to see her clean and safe. She hugged her and told her how proud she was of her. +Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Timmy. Timmy loved to play hide-and-seek with his friends. One day, he found a towel and decided to hide under it. + +As he was hiding, he saw a little mouse run by. The mouse led Timmy to a hidden door. Timmy was curious and decided to open the door. Inside, he found a treasure chest full of shiny jewels. + +Excitedly, Timmy grabbed as many jewels as he could and ran back home. But as he was walking, he tripped and fell. All the jewels spilled out of his hands and rolled down the street. + +Timmy was sad that he lost the treasure, but he learned a valuable lesson. He realized that sometimes following others can lead to trouble, and that it's best to be careful and not be too greedy. +Once upon a time, there was a bird. It was a big bird with colorful feathers. The bird loved to fly high up in the sky. It would flap its wings and soar through the clouds. + +One day, the bird saw a shiny rock on the ground. It was black and hard, and the bird didn't know what it was. It asked its bird friends, and they told it that it was coal. Coal is what people use to make fire and heat their homes. + +The bird thought that the coal was very interesting. It picked up a piece in its beak and flew away. It flew and flew until it found a rich man's house. The rich man was happy to see the bird and gave it some food. The bird dropped the coal at the rich man's feet and flew away. The rich man was surprised and grateful for the gift. He used the coal to heat his home and was very happy. +Lily and Tom are playing with paper and glue. They want to make a big ball with paper and glue. They tear paper into small pieces and put glue on them. Then they roll the pieces into balls and stick them together. + +"Look, Tom, I made a big ball!" Lily says. She holds up her paper ball. It is bigger than her head. + +"Wow, Lily, that is a big ball!" Tom says. He tries to make his ball bigger too. He rolls more paper and glue. + +But then, a hairy cat jumps on the table. The cat sees the paper balls and thinks they are toys. The cat bats at the balls with its paws. The balls roll off the table and onto the floor. + +"Hey, cat, stop that!" Lily says. She runs after the cat and the balls. Tom follows her. + +The cat thinks this is a fun game. The cat chases the balls and Lily and Tom chase the cat. They run around the room, making a mess with paper and glue. They laugh and have fun. +Lily was ready for bed. She put on her pajamas, brushed her teeth, and hugged her teddy bear. She climbed into her bed and asked her mom to read her a story. + +Mom picked a book with pictures of animals and stars. She read the words in a soft voice and pointed to the pictures. Lily liked the story, but she was feeling sleepy. She yawned and closed her eyes. + +Mom kissed her goodnight and turned off the light. She left the door open a little bit, so Lily could see the moon. The moon was big and bright and round. It looked like a friendly face in the sky. + +Lily smiled and cuddled her teddy bear. She felt warm and cozy and safe. She whispered, "Goodnight, moon. Goodnight, mom. Goodnight, teddy." + +She sighed and fell asleep. She dreamed of animals and stars and the moon. +Lia and Ben were lost in the big sand. They walked and walked, but they could not find their way back to their home. They were very thirsty and tired. They saw nothing but sand and sun. + +"Ben, I'm scared," Lia said. "Where is Mommy and Daddy?" + +"I don't know, Lia," Ben said. "But we have to keep walking. Maybe we will find some help." + +They walked some more, until they saw something green and blue in the distance. It looked like a small lake with trees and grass around it. + +"Look, Lia, look!" Ben said. "Maybe that is an oasis. Maybe there is water and food there." + +"What is an oasis?" Lia asked. + +"An oasis is a place in the big sand where there is water and plants and animals," Ben said. "It is like a little home in the sand. Come on, let's go there." + +They ran towards the oasis, hoping it was real and not a trick of their eyes. As they got closer, they saw that it was indeed an oasis. There was a clear pool of water, surrounded by palm trees and flowers. There were also some camels and goats resting in the shade. + +"Wow, it's so beautiful," Lia said. "And it's so cool and comfortable here." + +"Yes, it is," Ben said. "Let's drink some water and eat some dates. Maybe we can also pet the animals." + +They drank from the pool and filled their bottles. They picked some dates from the trees and ate them. They also stroked the camels and goats, who were friendly and gentle. + +"Hello, little ones," a voice said. "Who are you and where are you from?" + +They turned and saw a man with a long robe and a turban. He had a kind face and a smile. He was the owner of the oasis. + +"We are Lia and Ben," Ben said. "We are lost. We were with our parents, but we got separated. We don't know how to go back." + +The man nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will help you. I know the people who live near here. Maybe they have seen your parents. Come with me, I have a tent where you can rest and wait. You are welcome to stay in my oasis as long as you need." + +"Thank you, sir," Lia and Ben said. "You are very nice." + +They followed the man to his tent, where he gave them some blankets and pillows. They felt safe and happy in the oasis. They hoped their parents would find them soon. They thanked the man again and closed their eyes. They fell asleep, dreaming of water and trees and animals. +Lily and Tom were friends who lived on a farm. They liked to play in the fields of wheat, where they could hide and run and make shapes with the stalks. One day, they saw a big truck with a loud noise and a long pipe. The truck was sucking up the wheat and putting it in a big box. + +"What is that?" Lily asked Tom. + +"I don't know," Tom said. "Maybe it is taking the wheat to make bread or cake." + +Lily and Tom were curious. They wanted to see where the truck was going. They ran after it, but they were too slow. The truck went out of the farm and onto a road with many cars and signs and lights. Lily and Tom had never seen such a place before. It was unknown and scary. + +"Let's go back," Lily said. "We don't belong here." + +But Tom was stubborn. He wanted to see more. He said, "No, let's follow the truck. Maybe we can find something fun or yummy." + +Lily was afraid, but she did not want to lose Tom. She said, "Okay, but promise me you will stay close to me. And promise me we will go back soon." + +Tom nodded. He said, "I promise, I promise. Come on, let's go." + +They crossed the road, holding hands. They dodged the cars and the people and the noises. They followed the truck to a big building with a sign that said "Mill". They saw the truck stop and unload the wheat into a hole. They heard a grinding sound and saw a white powder come out of another hole. + +"Look, it's making flour!" Tom said. "Maybe we can get some and make our own bread or cake." + +He ran towards the hole, but Lily stopped him. She said, "No, Tom, it's dangerous. We don't know what else is in there. And we don't know who owns the wheat. Maybe they will be angry if we take some." + +Tom shrugged. He said, "Who cares? It's just wheat. And we're hungry. And we're brave." + +He pulled his hand away from Lily and went to the hole. He reached in and grabbed a handful of flour. He smiled and said, "See, it's fine. It's soft and white and smells good. Here, try some." + +He offered some to Lily, but she shook her head. She said, "No, Tom, I don't want any. I want to go back. You promised me we would go back soon." + +Tom rolled his eyes. He said, "Fine, fine, we'll go back. But first, let me taste some." + +He put some flour in his mouth, but he spat it out right away. He said, "Yuck, it's bitter and dry and sticky. It's not good at all." + +He wiped his mouth and looked around. He saw a man with a hat and a coat and a clipboard. The man was looking at them with a frown. He said, "Hey, you two, what are you doing here? This is private property. You can't touch the wheat or the flour. It's for the bakery, not for you." + +He walked towards them, waving his clipboard. He said, "Come here, I need to talk to you. Who are you? Where are you from? How did you get here?" + +Lily and Tom were scared. They realized they had made a mistake. They wished they had stayed on the farm. They wished they had listened to Lily. They wished they had kept their promise. + +They ran away from the man, back to the road, back to the farm, back to the fields of wheat. They hugged each other and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Let's never do that again." + +They learned their lesson. They never followed the truck again. They never left the farm again. They never broke their promise again. They stayed in the fields of wheat, where they could play and be happy and safe. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big slide and ran to it. Lily got there first and climbed up the ladder. Ben followed her, but he was slower. + +"Me first!" Lily shouted. She slid down the slide and laughed. She liked the wind in her hair and the sun on her face. + +"Me too!" Ben said. He tried to slide down, but his zipper got stuck on the slide. He felt a pull on his jacket and a tear on his sleeve. He cried out in pain and fear. + +Lily heard Ben's cry and ran back to the slide. She saw Ben hanging from his zipper. She felt sorry for him and wanted to help. + +"Ben, don't worry! I'll help you!" Lily said. She climbed up the slide again and reached for Ben's zipper. She pulled it hard and freed Ben from the slide. Ben fell into Lily's arms and hugged her. + +"Thank you, Lily! You are very generous!" Ben said. He looked at his jacket and saw a big hole in it. He felt sad and ashamed. + +"It's okay, Ben. It's just a jacket. You can cover the hole with a patch or a sticker. Or you can wear my jacket. I don't mind." Lily said. She took off her jacket and gave it to Ben. Ben smiled and put on Lily's jacket. It was a bit big for him, but it was warm and cozy. + +"Thank you, Lily! You are very kind! Can we be friends?" Ben asked. + +"Of course, Ben! We are friends now!" Lily said. They hugged each other and went to play some more. They had a lot of fun in the park. They shared their toys, their snacks, and their stories. They were happy and grateful for each other. +Sara and Tom were playing in their room. They liked to pretend they were singers and dancers. They had a toy microphone and a toy guitar. They also had a telephone that could make noises. + +"Let's perform a show for Mommy and Daddy," Sara said. "We can sing and dance and make them happy." + +"OK," Tom said. "But we have to be quiet. Mommy and Daddy are working in the other room. They said we should not bother them." + +Sara and Tom put on their hats and scarves. They turned on the music and started to sing and dance. They had fun and smiled. + +But then Tom had a naughty idea. He picked up the telephone and pressed a button. The telephone made a loud ring. + +"Hello, hello, who is this?" Tom said into the phone. He laughed. + +Sara gasped. "Tom, stop it! That's not funny. You are being naughty. You are making noise. Mommy and Daddy will be angry." + +But Tom did not listen. He pressed another button. The telephone made a beep. + +"Beep, beep, beep, this is a message. You have won a million dollars. Please call this number to claim your prize." Tom said into the phone. He laughed again. + +Sara was scared. She grabbed the phone from Tom and turned it off. She put it away. + +"Tom, you are very naughty. You are not playing nice. You are lying. You are not a singer. You are a troublemaker." Sara said. + +She was about to cry. + +Just then, Mommy and Daddy came into the room. They heard the noise and they were not happy. + +"What are you doing, Sara and Tom?" Mommy asked. "We told you to be quiet. We are working. Why are you making so much noise?" + +Sara and Tom looked at each other. They felt sorry. They did not want to make Mommy and Daddy angry. + +"We were playing," Sara said. "We were pretending to be singers and dancers. We wanted to perform a show for you. But Tom was naughty. He used the telephone and made loud noises. He lied and said he won a million dollars. He was not playing nice." + +Mommy and Daddy looked at Tom. Tom looked down. He felt ashamed. + +"Tom, is that true?" Daddy asked. "Did you use the telephone and make loud noises? Did you lie and say you won a million dollars? Why did you do that?" + +Tom did not answer. He knew he was wrong. He knew he had to say sorry. + +"I'm sorry, Mommy and Daddy," Tom said. "I'm sorry, Sara. I was naughty. I was not playing nice. I was bored. I wanted to have fun. But I made a mistake. I won't do it again. Please forgive me." + +Mommy and Daddy sighed. They were not happy, but they loved Tom. They knew he was still learning. + +"It's OK, Tom," Mommy said. "We forgive you. But you have to learn to be good. You have to listen to us. You have to play nice with Sara. You have to tell the truth. You have to be quiet when we are working. Do you understand?" + +Tom nodded. He understood. + +"Yes, Mommy. I understand. I will be good. I will listen to you. I will play nice with Sara. I will tell the truth. I will be quiet when you are working." Tom said. + +Mommy and Daddy smiled. They hugged Tom and Sara. + +"That's good, Tom. We are proud of you. We love you and Sara very much. You are our sweet children." Daddy said. + +"Thank you, Mommy and Daddy. We love you too. You are our best parents." Sara said. + +Mommy and Daddy kissed Tom and Sara. + +"Why don't you show us your show now?" Mommy said. "We have a break. We want to see you sing and dance. We are sure you are very talented." + +Sara and Tom smiled. They were happy. They picked up their microphone and guitar. They turned on the music. They sang and danced. They performed a show for Mommy and Daddy. + +Mommy and Daddy clapped and cheered. They were happy too. They enjoyed the show. They praised Tom and Sara. + +"You are amazing, Sara and Tom. You are wonderful singers and dancers. You are very creative and fun. You make us happy." Mommy said. + +Sara and Tom bowed and thanked Mommy and Daddy. They hugged each other. They were proud of themselves. They were good children. They were happy. +Sara and Ben are playing with their toys. Sara has a doll and Ben has a car. They like to make noises and pretend they are driving or talking. + +But then, Ben's car breaks. The wheel falls off and he is sad. He tries to put it back, but it does not stay. He says, "Oh no, my car is broken. What can I do?" + +Sara sees Ben's car and has an idea. She says, "Don't worry, Ben. I have something that can help. I have glue. Glue can stick things together. Do you want to try?" + +Ben nods and says, "Yes, please. Can you show me how to use glue?" + +Sara takes her glue and squeezes some on the wheel and the car. She says, "You have to be careful with glue. It is sticky and wet. You have to press the wheel and the car together and wait for a while. Then, the glue will dry and the wheel will stay." + +Ben does what Sara says and presses the wheel and the car together. He says, "Thank you, Sara. You are very smart and kind. I hope it works." + +They wait for a while and then Ben tries to move his car. The wheel does not fall off and the car rolls again. He is happy and says, "Yay, it works. My car is fixed. You are the best, Sara. You have glue and you know how to use it. You are lucky." + +Sara smiles and says, "You are welcome, Ben. I am glad your car is fixed. You are lucky too. You have a car and you know how to play with it. We are both lucky. We have toys and we have each other. We are friends." + +They hug and laugh and play some more. They have fun with their toys and their glue. They are lucky friends. +Sara and Tom were twins who liked to play outside. But winter was harsh this year. The snow was deep and the wind was cold. They had to wear many clothes to keep warm. + +One day, their mom said, "You can choose what to do today. You can stay inside and play with your toys, or you can go outside and build a snowman." + +Sara and Tom looked at each other. They both loved snowmen, but they also liked their toys. They did not know what to choose. + +"Can we do both?" Sara asked. + +Mom smiled. "Yes, you can. But you have to be careful outside. The snow is slippery and the wind is strong. You have to wear your hats and gloves and boots. And you have to come back inside when I call you." + +"OK, mom," Tom said. "We will be careful. Thank you for letting us choose." + +Sara and Tom put on their clothes and went outside. They rolled big balls of snow and stacked them on top of each other. They found a carrot, a scarf, and some buttons for the snowman's face and clothes. They gave him a name: Frosty. + +They were very happy with their snowman. They hugged him and said hello. They pretended he was their friend. + +"Hello, Frosty," Sara said. "Do you like winter?" + +"Hello, Sara and Tom," Frosty said in their imagination. "I love winter. It is my favorite season. But I also like you. You are very kind and fun." + +Sara and Tom laughed. They played with Frosty until they heard mom's voice. + +"Time to come inside, kids. It is getting dark and cold. You can play with your toys now." + +Sara and Tom said goodbye to Frosty. They promised to visit him again tomorrow. They ran inside and took off their clothes. They were warm and cozy. They played with their toys and told mom about their snowman. + +Mom listened and smiled. She was proud of her twins. They had chosen well. They had enjoyed winter, but they had also been safe and smart. She gave them a hug and a kiss. She said, "I love you, Sara and Tom. You are my best gifts." +Lily and Ben were friends. They liked to play with tops. Tops were toys that spun very fast. They had many tops of different colors and shapes. + +One day, Lily and Ben went to the park. They brought their tops with them. They found a smooth and flat spot to spin their tops. They had a lot of fun. + +"Look at my top!" Lily said. "It is red and shiny. It spins faster than yours!" + +"No, it doesn't!" Ben said. "My top is blue and cool. It spins longer than yours!" + +They argued and argued. They did not want to share their tops. They did not want to play together. They were very angry. + +Then, a big dog came. The dog saw the tops. The dog liked to chase things that moved. The dog ran towards the tops. He barked and jumped. + +Lily and Ben were scared. They tried to grab their tops. But it was too late. The dog caught the tops in his mouth. He bit them and broke them. He ran away with the pieces. + +Lily and Ben cried. They had no more tops. They had no more fun. They wished they had been nice to each other. They learned a hard lesson. They spent their day being sad. +Lily and Tom are playing in the living room. They see a big, hairy thing on the table. It is brown and black and has a long tail. They do not know what it is. + +"Look, Lily, what is that?" Tom asks. + +"I don't know, Tom. It is big and hairy. Maybe it is a toy?" Lily says. + +They go closer to the thing. They touch it with their fingers. It is soft and warm. It moves and makes a sound. + +"Meow!" the thing says. + +Lily and Tom jump back. They are scared. + +"It is not a toy, Tom. It is a cat!" Lily says. + +"A cat? Where did it come from?" Tom says. + +They hear a voice from the kitchen. + +"Fluffy, where are you? Come here, Fluffy!" the voice says. + +It is Mom. She is looking for the cat. + +"Mom, we found Fluffy!" Lily and Tom call. + +Mom comes to the living room. She sees the cat on the table. She sees the ashtray next to the cat. The ashtray is full of cigarette butts. Mom does not like cigarettes. She does not like the ashtray. + +"Fluffy, what are you doing on the table? You know you are not allowed there. And what is this ashtray doing here? Who left it here?" Mom says. + +She picks up the cat and the ashtray. She puts the cat on the floor and the ashtray in the trash. + +"Sorry, Mom. We did not know it was a cat. We thought it was a toy. We did not touch the ashtray. We don't like cigarettes either." Lily and Tom say. + +Mom smiles. She hugs Lily and Tom. + +"It's okay, my loves. I know you did not mean any harm. Fluffy is a good cat, but he is very curious. He likes to explore new things. And the ashtray was from Uncle Bob. He came to visit yesterday. He smokes a lot. I told him not to smoke in the house, but he did not listen. I will talk to him later. Now, let's go and have some cookies. Do you want some milk, too?" Mom says. + +Lily and Tom nod. They love cookies and milk. They follow Mom to the kitchen. Fluffy follows them, too. He is hungry and thirsty. He hopes Mom will give him some tuna and water. He likes tuna and water. He does not like cigarettes or ashtrays. He thinks they are bad and smelly. He is a good cat. He is a big, hairy cat. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play outside in spring. Spring is when the sun is warm, the flowers are pretty and the birds are happy. + +One day, they go to the park with their moms. They see a big pond with ducks and frogs. Lily and Tom want to feed the ducks. They have some bread in their bags. + +"Can we feed the ducks, mom?" Lily asks. + +"Sure, but be careful. Don't go too close to the water. And listen to me if I call you," mom says. + +Lily and Tom nod. They take some bread and walk to the pond. They throw some bread to the ducks. The ducks quack and swim to get the bread. Lily and Tom laugh. + +They see a frog on a rock. It is green and shiny. It croaks and jumps into the water. Lily and Tom want to catch the frog. They forget about the ducks and the bread. They run to the rock. + +"Look, a frog! Let's catch it!" Tom says. + +"OK, let's go!" Lily says. + +They get closer to the water. They lean over the rock. They try to grab the frog. But the frog is too fast. It jumps away. Lily and Tom lose their balance. They fall into the water. Splash! + +They are wet and scared. They cry for help. Their moms hear them. They run to the pond. They are alert. They pull Lily and Tom out of the water. They hug them and dry them. + +"Are you OK?" mom asks. + +"Yes, mom. We are sorry. We didn't listen to you. We wanted to catch the frog," Lily says. + +"We learned our lesson. We won't go too close to the water again. We will listen to you," Tom says. + +Mom smiles. She is glad they are safe. She is proud they are honest. She says, "I'm happy you are OK. And I'm happy you learned your lesson. Listening is important. It can keep you out of trouble. And it can show you respect others. Now, let's go home and change your clothes. And maybe we can come back another day and feed the ducks again." + +Lily and Tom agree. They say goodbye to the ducks and the frog. They hold their moms' hands. They walk home. They are happy. They are friends. They listen. +Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to pretend they were knights and princesses. Tom had a stick for a sword and Lily had a ribbon for a crown. + +"Look, Lily, I found a bow and an arrow!" Tom said, holding up a toy bow and a rubber arrow. "I can shoot the bad dragon and save you!" + +"Wow, Tom, you are very brave!" Lily said, clapping her hands. "But where is the bad dragon?" + +Tom looked around and saw a big chair under a tree. He decided that the chair was the bad dragon. He aimed his bow and arrow at the chair and shouted, "Take that, dragon!" + +But as he shot the arrow, a loud noise came from behind the chair. It was a cat, who had been sleeping under the tree. The cat was frightened by the arrow and the noise. It jumped out from behind the chair and ran towards Tom and Lily, hissing and spitting. + +Tom and Lily were frightened too. They dropped their stick and ribbon and ran away from the cat. They hid behind a bush and hugged each other. + +"Tom, that was not a dragon, that was a cat!" Lily said, shaking. + +"I know, Lily, I'm sorry, I didn't see the cat!" Tom said, sorry. "Are you okay?" + +"Yes, Tom, I'm okay, but I don't want to play knights and princesses anymore!" Lily said, sad. + +"Me neither, Lily, let's go inside and have some juice!" Tom said, agree. + +They got up and ran inside, holding hands. They decided to play something else, something that did not have dragons or cats. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play together. One day, they find a big box of cream in the kitchen. They think it is fun to make things with cream. + +"Look, I made a snowman with cream!" Anna says. She puts two balls of cream on a plate and adds a carrot for a nose. + +"That's creative!" Ben says. He makes a cream hat and puts it on the snowman's head. "Now he is warm." + +They make more things with cream. They make a cream cake, a cream flower, a cream star and a cream cat. They are very happy. + +But then, Mom comes into the kitchen. She sees the mess. She is not happy. + +"Anna and Ben, what are you doing?" Mom asks. "This cream is for the pie. You wasted it all!" + +Anna and Ben feel sorry. They did not know. + +"We are sorry, Mom," they say. "We wanted to play with cream. It is soft and white and yummy." + +Mom sighs. She loves her twins, but they make trouble sometimes. + +"I know you like to play, but you have to stay away from the cream," Mom says. "It is not a toy. It is for eating. Next time, ask me before you use something in the kitchen." + +Anna and Ben nod. They promise to be good. + +"Can we help you make the pie, Mom?" Anna asks. + +"Can we lick the spoon, Mom?" Ben asks. + +Mom smiles. She gives them each a hug and a kiss. + +"Okay, you can help me and lick the spoon," Mom says. "But only a little bit. And then you have to clean up the kitchen." + +Anna and Ben agree. They help Mom make the pie. They lick the spoon. They clean up the kitchen. They are still creative, but they are also careful. +Anna liked to play with her toys in her room. She had many toys, but her favorite was a stuffed parrot. She named him Polly and pretended he could talk. She would ask him questions and make funny noises for him. + +One day, Anna's mom came to her room and said, "Anna, it's time to clean up your toys. You have too many on the floor." + +Anna did not want to clean up. She was feeling lazy. She said, "But mom, I'm playing with Polly. He is my friend." + +Mom said, "Polly can be your friend, but you still have to clean up. Why don't you include him in your cleaning? You can put him on your shoulder and he can help you." + +Anna thought that was a good idea. She said, "Okay, mom. Come on, Polly. Let's clean up." She put Polly on her shoulder and started to pick up her toys. She put them in a box or on a shelf. She said, "Polly, can you help me find the red car?" Polly made a beep sound. Anna said, "Good job, Polly. You are a smart parrot." + +Mom smiled and said, "You are doing great, Anna. I'm proud of you. And Polly is a good helper." Anna felt happy and said, "Thank you, mom. And thank you, Polly. You are the best parrot ever." She gave Polly a hug and finished cleaning up her room. +Lily liked to help her mom in the garden. She liked to dig, plant, and water the flowers.

They wished he was nicer and let them play. + +"Maybe we can play with the helicopter later, when he's not here," Mia said. + +"Maybe," Tim said. "But he's always here. He never goes anywhere." + +They sighed and went inside. They hoped they could find another way to have fun. They still liked helicopters, but they did not like rude neighbors. +Sam and Mia are young cats who live in a shelter. They have many friends there, but they also want a home. One day, a nice lady comes to the shelter and looks at all the cats. She stops at Sam and Mia's cage and smiles. + +"Hello, you two. You are very cute. What are your names?" she asks. + +Sam and Mia are shy, but they want to answer. Sam meows softly and Mia purrs. The lady nods and opens the cage. She picks up Sam and Mia and cuddles them. + +"You are so sweet. I think I will take you home with me. How do you like that?" she says. + +Sam and Mia are happy. They like the lady and they want a home. They answer by licking her face and nuzzling her neck. The lady laughs and hugs them. + +"Good. Then it's settled. You are coming with me. I have a big house and a garden and lots of toys for you. You will love it there," she says. + +Sam and Mia are excited. They say goodbye to their friends and thank the shelter people. They go with the lady to her car and snuggle in a basket. They look out the window and see the world. They can't wait to see their new home. They have found their family. +Ben and Lily were in the car with Mom and Dad. They were going to visit Grandma and Grandpa. Ben and Lily liked Grandma and Grandpa. They had a big house with a lot of toys and a dog named Spot. + +Mom was driving the car. She saw a sign that said "yield". She slowed down and looked left and right. She saw another car coming fast. She waited for the car to pass. Then she drove on. + +"Mom, what does yield mean?" Ben asked. + +"Yield means to let other cars go first," Mom said. "It is polite and safe." + +"Oh, I see," Ben said. "Can I yield my cookie to Lily?" + +Mom smiled. "That is very kind of you, Ben. Yes, you can yield your cookie to Lily." + +"Thank you, Ben!" Lily said. She took the cookie and ate it happily. + +Dad was sitting next to Mom. He looked at the gas meter. It showed a low number. He said to Mom, "We need to stop for gas soon." + +"OK, I see a gas station ahead," Mom said. "We will stop there and fill up the tank." + +"What is gas, Mom?" Lily asked. + +"Gas is what makes the car go," Mom said. "It is like food for the car." + +"Oh, I see," Lily said. "Can I give Spot some gas?" + +Mom laughed. "No, Lily. Gas is not good for dogs. Spot eats dog food." + +"Oh, I see," Lily said. + +They reached the gas station. Mom parked the car and got out. She paid for the gas and put the nozzle in the tank. She waited for the tank to be full. + +Ben and Lily watched from the car. They saw a lot of other cars and people. They saw a big truck with a lot of boxes. They saw a motorcycle with a loud noise. They saw a bus with a lot of windows. + +They felt sleepy. They yawned and rubbed their eyes. They leaned on each other and closed their eyes. + +Mom finished filling the tank. She got back in the car and started the engine. She looked at Ben and Lily. They were asleep. + +"Look, they are so tired," Mom said to Dad. + +"Yes, they are," Dad said. "They had a busy day." + +Mom drove the car. She followed the signs to Grandma and Grandpa's house. She hoped they would have a good time there. She smiled and kissed Dad. She was happy. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play in the park with their mom. One day, they see a shiny thing on the ground. It is a penny. + +"Look, Ben, a penny!" Lily says. "Let's get it!" + +They rush to the penny, but they are not careful. They bump into each other and fall down. They both cry. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Ben says. "You hurt me, Lily!" + +"No, you hurt me, Ben!" Lily says. "You pushed me!" + +Mom hears them and comes to help. She picks them up and hugs them. + +"Shh, shh, shh," she says. "It's okay, it's okay. You are both fine. You just had a little accident. You need to be calm and share." + +She shows them the penny. "See, this is a penny. It is not very important. It is just a small coin. You can have it if you want, but you have to be nice to each other. Can you do that?" + +Lily and Ben nod. They are sorry for fighting. They say sorry to each other and hug. + +"Can we share the penny, Mom?" Lily asks. + +"Sure, you can," Mom says. "You can take turns holding it, or you can put it in your piggy bank, or you can give it to someone who needs it. What do you want to do?" + +Lily and Ben think for a moment. Then they smile. + +"Let's give it to someone who needs it, Mom," Ben says. + +"Me too, me too," Lily says. + +Mom is proud of them. She smiles and kisses them. + +"Good idea, my loves," she says. "You are very kind and generous. Come on, let's go find someone who needs a penny." +Lila and Tom were best friends. They liked to play in the park and share their toys. One day, they saw a big bird in the sky. It was flying very fast and making loud noises. + +"Wow, look at that bird!" Tom said. "It can fly so high and far. I wish I could fly like that." + +"Me too," Lila said. "But we can't fly. We are not birds. We are people." + +They watched the bird until it disappeared behind the clouds. Then they went to the playground and had fun on the swings and the slide. + +After a while, they got hungry. They went to the snack bar and asked for waffles. Waffles were their favorite food. They were warm and sweet and crunchy. + +"Here you go, kids," the lady at the snack bar said. "Two waffles for you. Enjoy!" + +"Thank you, lady," Lila and Tom said. They took their waffles and sat on a bench. They put butter and syrup on their waffles and took big bites. + +"Mmm, these are yummy," Lila said. + +"Yummy, yummy," Tom said. + +They ate their waffles and smiled at each other. They were happy and humble. They did not need to fly like the bird. They had each other and their waffles. That was enough for them. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a new ball on the grass. It is big and red and shiny. + +"Wow, look at the ball!" Tom says. "Can we play with it?" + +Lily nods. "Yes, let's go and kick it!" + +They run to the ball and take turns to kick it. The ball bounces and rolls and flies in the air. Tom and Lily laugh and clap. + +But then, a big boy comes. He is angry and mean. He says, "That is my ball! Give it back!" + +He grabs the ball and pushes Tom and Lily away. He kicks the ball hard and it goes far away. + +Tom and Lily are sad and scared. They cry and hug each other. + +"Hey, stop that!" a voice says. It is Sam, the park keeper. He is kind and nice. He sees what the big boy did. + +He walks to the big boy and says, "That is not nice. You should share and be gentle. Say sorry to Tom and Lily." + +The big boy is ashamed and sorry. He says, "Sorry, Tom and Lily. I was wrong. Can we be friends?" + +Tom and Lily wipe their tears and smile. They say, "OK, we can be friends. But can we play with the ball too?" + +The big boy nods. He says, "Yes, we can play together. The ball is more fun with friends." + +They all go to the ball and kick it. The ball bounces and rolls and flies in the air. Tom and Lily and the big boy laugh and clap. Sam watches and smiles. He is happy. +Lily was sick. She had a hot head and a sore throat. Mommy put a thermometer in her mouth to check her temperature. Lily did not like the thermometer. It was hard and cold and made her tongue feel funny. + +"Beep, beep!" The thermometer made a sound. Mommy looked at it and frowned. "Oh, Lily, you have a fever. You need to stay in bed and drink some water. I will call the doctor and get some medicine for you." + +Lily felt sad. She wanted to go outside and play with her friends. She wanted to dress in her pink dress and her shiny shoes. She did not want to stay in bed and drink water. She did not want to see the doctor and take medicine. + +"Mommy, please, can I go outside? I feel better. I don't have a fever anymore." Lily said in a small voice. + +Mommy shook her head. "No, Lily, you can't go outside. You are still sick. You need to rest and get well. Going outside will make you worse. You don't want to get more sick, do you?" + +Lily sighed. She knew Mommy was right. She did not want to get more sick. She wanted to get well. She looked at Mommy and nodded. "Okay, Mommy, I will stay in bed and drink water. I will see the doctor and take medicine. But can I dress in my pink dress and my shiny shoes? They make me happy." + +Mommy smiled. She hugged Lily and kissed her forehead. "Of course, Lily, you can dress in your pink dress and your shiny shoes. They are very pretty. And they will make you happy. And when you are happy, you will get well faster. I love you, Lily." + +Lily smiled back. She loved Mommy too. She was still sick, but she was not worried. She had Mommy and her pink dress and her shiny shoes. She knew she would get well soon. + +The moral value of the story is: Listen to your parents when they tell you what is good for you. They want you to be healthy and happy. +Sam liked to go to the gym with his dad. The gym had many big machines and toys that made him strong and happy. Sam's dad was very popular at the gym. He knew many people and they always said hello and smiled at him. + +One day, Sam saw a new toy at the gym. It was a big ball that bounced and rolled. Sam wanted to play with it. He ran to the ball and tried to grab it. But the ball was too big and fast for him. He stumbled and fell on the floor. He hurt his knee and started to cry. + +"Are you okay, buddy?" his dad asked. He ran to Sam and picked him up. He hugged him and kissed his knee. "It's okay, it's just a little scratch. You're very brave." + +Sam stopped crying and looked at his dad. He saw that his dad had a band-aid on his arm. "What happened to your arm, dad?" he asked. + +"Oh, this? I got it yesterday at the gym. I was lifting a big weight and I stumbled and dropped it on my arm. It hurt a lot, but I'm okay now. I'm very brave, too." his dad said. + +Sam smiled and hugged his dad. He felt better. He realized that his dad was not only popular, but also strong and kind. He wanted to be like him when he grew up. He said, "I love you, dad. You're the best." + +"I love you, too, Sam. You're the best, too." his dad said. They went back to the gym and played with the ball together. They had a lot of fun. +Mia and Leo were playing with blocks. They liked to make patterns with different colors and shapes. Mia made a pattern with red and blue blocks. She said, "Look, Leo, I made a pattern. Do you like it?" + +Leo nodded. He said, "Yes, I like it. It is pretty. Can I make one too?" He looked for some blocks to make his own pattern. + +But then, Ben came over. He was a big boy who liked to take things. He saw Mia's pattern and he wanted it. He said, "I want this pattern. It is mine now." He grabbed Mia's blocks and ran away. + +Mia was very upset. She cried, "No, Ben, that is not yours. That is my pattern. Give it back!" She ran after Ben, but he was too fast. + +Leo was upset too. He said, "Ben is mean. He should not take things. He should share. Mia, I will help you. Come on, let's go get your pattern back." He ran after Mia and Ben, hoping to get the blocks back. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play with their toys. But sometimes they would quarrel over who got to play with what. One day, they found a big box in the garage. It had many colorful blocks and shapes inside. They decided to make a factory with the blocks and shapes. + +Lily wanted to make a factory that made cakes and cookies. She used the round and square blocks to make ovens and mixers. Ben wanted to make a factory that made cars and planes. He used the long and triangle blocks to make wheels and wings. They each made their own side of the factory, but they were not happy. + +"I want to make cakes and cookies too!" Ben said. He grabbed some of Lily's blocks and tried to put them on his side. + +"No, those are mine!" Lily said. She pulled the blocks back and knocked over some of Ben's blocks. + +"Hey, stop it!" Ben said. He pushed Lily and made her drop the blocks. + +"Ow, you're naughty!" Lily said. She cried and hit Ben with a block. + +"Ouch, you're naughty too!" Ben said. He cried and threw a block at Lily. + +The twins were so busy quarreling that they did not hear their mom come into the garage. She saw the mess they had made and the blocks flying in the air. She was very angry. + +"What are you doing?" she asked. "Why are you quarreling and throwing blocks at each other?" + +Lily and Ben stopped and looked at their mom. They felt ashamed and sorry. They knew they had been naughty and had ruined their factory. + +"We're sorry, mom," they said. "We wanted to make a factory, but we could not agree on what to make." + +Mom sighed and hugged them. "It's okay to have different ideas, but you have to share and take turns. And you have to be gentle and kind to each other. Quarreling and throwing blocks is not nice. It can hurt you and break your toys." + +Lily and Ben nodded and said they understood. They said they were sorry to each other and hugged. They decided to work together and make a new factory that made both cakes and cookies and cars and planes. They used the blocks and shapes to make a big and beautiful factory. They played happily and did not quarrel anymore. Mom smiled and watched them. She was proud of them. +Tom and Lily were hungry. They played a lot today. They ran, jumped, and sang. They had fun, but they also used a lot of energy. They wanted to eat something yummy. + +Mom and Dad were in the kitchen. They cooked dinner for Tom and Lily. They made chicken, rice, and carrots. They smelled good. Tom and Lily liked chicken, rice, and carrots. They were happy. + +Mom and Dad called Tom and Lily to the table. They washed their hands and sat down. They said thank you to Mom and Dad. They took big bites of their food. They enjoyed their dinner. It was warm and tasty. They felt full and satisfied. + +After dinner, Tom and Lily helped Mom and Dad clear the table. They put their plates and forks in the sink. They wiped their mouths and hands. They said good night to Mom and Dad. They hugged and kissed them. + +Tom and Lily went to their bedroom. They brushed their teeth and put on their pajamas. They climbed into their beds. They were tired, but they also felt happy. They had a good day. They enjoyed their dinner. They loved their family. They closed their eyes and fell asleep. +Lily and Max were best friends. They liked to play with their scooters in the park. They zoomed and turned and laughed. They had so much fun. + +One day, a big boy came to the park. He had a big scooter too. He saw Lily and Max and said, "Hey, you two, get out of my way. This is my park. You have silly scooters. Mine is better." + +Lily and Max were scared. They did not know the big boy. He was mean and rude. He was ignorant. He did not care about other people. He pushed Lily and Max with his scooter. He made them fall down. He laughed at them. + +Lily and Max were sad and hurt. They cried. They wanted to go home. They picked up their scooters and ran away. The big boy chased them. He wanted to catch them and push them again. + +But then, a nice lady saw what was happening. She was a teacher. She worked at the park. She shouted, "Stop, you big boy. What are you doing? Why are you bullying Lily and Max? That is not nice. That is wrong. You should apologize to them and share the park." + +The big boy was surprised. He did not expect the nice lady to see him. He was afraid. He stopped chasing Lily and Max. He looked down. He felt ashamed. He said, "I'm sorry, Lily and Max. I was ignorant. I did not know how to play with you. Can we be friends?" + +Lily and Max looked at the big boy. They saw that he was sorry. They were kind and forgiving. They said, "It's okay, big boy. We can be friends. You can play with us and our scooters. We can teach you how to zoom and turn and laugh. We can have fun together." + +The big boy smiled. He was happy. He said, "Thank you, Lily and Max. Thank you, nice lady. You are good people. You are not ignorant. You are smart and friendly. I want to learn from you. Can we go to the park again tomorrow?" + +Lily and Max nodded. They said, "Yes, big boy. We can go to the park again tomorrow. We can play with our scooters and have fun. We can be best friends." + +The nice lady smiled too. She said, "That's wonderful, children. You have learned a valuable lesson today. You have learned how to be respectful and kind to each other. You have learned how to make new friends. You have learned how to enjoy the park. You have made me proud." + +The end. +Tom and Sam were brothers. They liked to play in the garden. One day, they saw a big green caterpillar on a leaf. They both wanted to touch it. + +"Let me see it!" Tom said. + +"No, it's mine!" Sam said. + +They began to fight over the caterpillar. They pulled and pushed and shouted. The caterpillar was scared. It curled up into a ball. + +"Stop it, boys!" Mom said. She came out of the house. She saw them fighting. She was not happy. + +"Look what you did!" Mom said. "You scared the poor caterpillar. It was busy eating the leaf. Now it is hiding. How would you like it if someone fought over you?" + +Tom and Sam felt sorry. They stopped fighting. They looked at the caterpillar. It was still in a ball. + +"Sorry, caterpillar," Tom said. + +"Sorry, caterpillar," Sam said. + +They gently put the caterpillar back on the leaf. They watched it uncurl and start eating again. + +"Can we share it, Tom?" Sam asked. + +"OK, Sam," Tom said. "We can share it. It is a nice caterpillar." + +Mom smiled. She was glad they made up. She hugged them and said, "That's better. Now, why don't you go and find some more caterpillars? Maybe you can see them turn into butterflies." + +Tom and Sam nodded. They ran off to look for more caterpillars. They played nicely in the garden. The caterpillar was happy too. It ate and ate and ate. One day, it made a cocoon. And then, it became a beautiful butterfly. +Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big teddy bear that their grandma gave them. The teddy bear was old and reliable. He was always there to hug and comfort them when they were sad or scared. + +One day, Anna and Ben were playing with the teddy bear in the garden. They pretended he was a king and they were his knights. They had a lot of fun, but they also got very dirty. Their clothes and faces were covered with mud and grass. The teddy bear was also dirty. + +When their mom called them for lunch, they ran inside. They left the teddy bear on the ground. Mom saw them and said, "You two are very dirty! You need to wash before you eat. And what about your teddy bear? He is dirty too. You should wash him as well." + +Anna and Ben did not want to wash the teddy bear. They said, "But mom, he is old and reliable. He does not mind being dirty. He likes to play with us. If we wash him, he might lose his fur or his eyes or his smile. We love him the way he is." + +Mom smiled and said, "I know you love him, and he loves you too. But being old and reliable does not mean being dirty. He needs to be clean and healthy, just like you. Washing him will not change his fur or his eyes or his smile. It will only make him look nicer and feel better. And he will still be your best friend." + +Anna and Ben thought about it and realized mom was right. They decided to wash the teddy bear. They took him to the bathroom and gently rubbed him with soap and water. They rinsed him and dried him with a towel. They saw that he looked brighter and softer. His fur was fluffy and his eyes were shiny. His smile was still the same. + +They hugged him and said, "We are sorry, teddy bear. We did not mean to make you dirty. We hope you are not angry with us. We still love you very much. You are still our old and reliable friend." + +The teddy bear did not say anything, but he felt happy and grateful. He knew that Anna and Ben cared for him and wanted him to be well. He loved them too. He was still their old and reliable friend. + +The moral of the story is: We should take care of our belongings, especially those that are old and reliable. Washing them does not mean losing them, but showing them respect and appreciation. +Mia likes to paint. She has many colors of paint. She paints on paper, on walls, on rocks, and sometimes on herself. She likes to make pictures of her family, her friends, and her cat. + +One day, Mia wants to paint her hair. She thinks it will be fun and pretty. She finds a big brush and some orange paint. She dips the brush in the paint and starts to paint her hair. She paints it all over her head. She looks in the mirror and smiles. She likes her orange hair. + +But her mom does not like it. She sees Mia and gasps. "Mia, what did you do to your hair?" she asks. She is not happy. She takes Mia to the bathroom and tries to wash the paint off. But the paint is hard to wash off. It makes Mia's hair sticky and messy. + +Mom says, "Mia, we have to go to the salon. You need a haircut. The paint has ruined your hair." She puts Mia in the car and drives to the salon. Mia is sad. She does not want a haircut. She likes her orange hair. + +At the salon, the lady cuts Mia's hair. She cuts it very short. She says, "Don't worry, Mia. Your hair will grow back. And next time, don't paint your hair. Paint on paper instead." Mia nods. She looks in the mirror and sees her new haircut. She does not like it. She misses her orange hair. She says, "Sorry, mom. I won't paint my hair again." Mom hugs her and says, "It's okay, Mia. I love you. And I love your hair, no matter what color it is." Mia smiles. She loves her mom. And she still likes to paint. +Lily and Max were very happy. They were going to a hotel with their mom and dad. The hotel was very big and had a pool and a playground. Lily and Max loved to swim and play. + +When they got to the hotel, they saw a sign that said "Welcome to the Amazing Race Hotel". Lily and Max wondered what that meant. They asked their mom and dad. + +"It means that there is a fun game here for the guests. You can race around the hotel and find clues and prizes. Do you want to try it?" their mom said. + +"Yes, yes, yes!" Lily and Max shouted. They were very excited. They put on their hats and backpacks and followed their mom and dad to the lobby. + +There, they met a nice lady who gave them a map and a clue. She said, "The first clue is in the garden. Go and find it. Good luck and have fun!" + +Lily and Max ran to the garden. They looked at the flowers and the trees and the birds. They saw a big sign that said "Clue 1". They ran to the sign and read it. + +"Clue 1: To find the next clue, you have to go to the place where you can eat yummy food. What is it called?" + +Lily and Max thought hard. They knew the place where they could eat yummy food. It was the restaurant. They said, "The restaurant!" and raced to the restaurant. They hoped to find the next clue and more prizes. They were having an amazing time at the Amazing Race Hotel. +Lily and Tom were playing in the kitchen. They saw a big pot on the stove. They wanted to see what was inside. + +"Let's look in the pot," Tom said. + +"OK," Lily said. + +They climbed on a chair and lifted the lid. The pot was full of hot soup. The soup smelled good. + +"Can we taste it?" Lily asked. + +"Maybe," Tom said. + +He reached for a spoon. But he was not careful. He knocked over the pot. The hot soup spilled everywhere. It burned Lily and Tom. They screamed. + +Mom and Dad heard them. They ran to the kitchen. They saw the mess and the children. They were angry and worried. + +"What did you do?" Mom asked. + +"We looked in the pot," Tom said. + +"Why did you do that?" Dad asked. + +"We wanted to taste the soup," Lily said. + +"You should not touch the pot," Mom said. "It is hot and dangerous. You could have hurt yourself badly." + +"We are sorry," Lily and Tom said. + +Mom and Dad took them to the bathroom. They put cold water on their burns. They gave them hugs and kisses. They said they loved them. But they also said they were naughty. They said they had to go to bed early. They said they could not have any soup. + +Lily and Tom felt sad and sore. They wished they had not looked in the pot. They learned a hard lesson. They hoped they would not happen again. +Anna liked to cook with her mom. She helped her mom cut the carrots, stir the soup, and sprinkle the cheese. She felt happy when her mom said she was a good helper. + +But Anna did not like when her brother Tom played with his laser. He had a big toy that made red lights and sounds. He said it was a spaceship that could fly to the stars. He did not let Anna touch it or play with it. He said she was too little and would break it. Anna felt envious of Tom and his laser. + +One day, Anna had an idea. She waited until Tom was busy with his books. She sneaked into his room and took his laser. She ran to the kitchen and hid it under the table. She thought she would cook with it and make it her own. + +She turned on the laser and pointed it at the pot. She hoped it would make the soup boil faster. But instead, it made a loud noise and a big hole in the pot. The soup spilled everywhere and made a mess. Anna was scared and dropped the laser. + +Mom and Tom heard the noise and came to the kitchen. They saw Anna, the laser, and the soup. Mom was angry and Tom was sad. They asked Anna what she did and why she took the laser. + +Anna felt sorry and ashamed. She said she was envious of Tom and his laser. She said she wanted to cook with it and make it her own. She said she did not mean to make a hole in the pot and a mess in the kitchen. + +Mom and Tom hugged Anna and said they forgave her. They said they understood how she felt, but she should not take things that were not hers. They said they loved her and they would share with her. They said they would help her clean the kitchen and make a new soup. + +Anna smiled and said she loved them too. She said she was sorry and she would not take the laser again. She said she would like to play with Tom and his spaceship. She said she would like to cook with Mom and her helper. They all agreed and went to work. Anna felt happy and not envious anymore. +Ben and Lily were bored. They had no toys to play with and no books to read. Their mom was busy in the kitchen and their dad was at work. The sky was dull and gray. It looked like it was going to rain. + +"Let's go outside and see the chickens," Ben said. He liked the chickens. They were funny and noisy and sometimes they gave them eggs. + +"Okay," Lily said. She followed Ben to the backyard. They saw the chickens in their coop. They were pecking at the ground and clucking softly. + +"Hello, chickens!" Ben said. He reached out his hand to pet one of them. The chicken did not like that. It flapped its wings and squawked loudly. It pecked at Ben's hand and made him cry. + +"Ow! Ow! Ow!" Ben said. He ran back to the house, holding his hand. Lily ran after him. She was scared of the chicken too. + +"Mom! Mom! The chicken hurt Ben!" Lily said. She found their mom in the kitchen. She saw Ben's hand. It had a small red mark on it. + +"Oh, poor Ben," their mom said. She took Ben's hand and kissed it. She put a band-aid on it and gave him a hug. "The chicken was just scared, Ben. It did not mean to hurt you. You have to be gentle with the chickens. They are not toys." + +"I'm sorry, mom," Ben said. He sniffed and wiped his tears. "I just wanted to pet the chicken." + +"I know, Ben. But the chicken did not know that. Maybe next time you can try to feed the chicken some corn or bread. They like that. And maybe they will let you pet them then." + +"Okay, mom," Ben said. He smiled a little. He liked corn and bread too. + +Their mom looked out the window. She saw the sun was starting to rise. It made the sky bright and colorful. It chased away the dull clouds. + +"Look, Ben and Lily," their mom said. "The sun is rising. It's a new day. Do you want to go outside and play?" + +"Yes, mom!" Ben and Lily said. They forgot about the chicken and their boredom. They ran outside and played. They saw the chickens again. They gave them some corn and bread. The chickens clucked happily. They let Ben and Lily pet them. Ben and Lily were happy too. They had fun with the chickens. They thanked them for the eggs. They said goodbye to the sun. They went back to the house. They had a good day. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They like to slide, swing and run. One day, they see a big spot on the grass. It is red and white. It is a picnic blanket. + +"Look, Ben, a picnic!" Lily says. + +"Yummy, Lily, let's go!" Ben says. + +They run to the spot. They see a basket. They see bread, cheese, fruit and juice. They are hungry. They want to eat. + +"Hello, children, do you want to join us?" a voice says. + +They look up. They see a man and a woman. They are smiling. They are the owners of the picnic. + +"Who are you?" Lily asks. + +"We are Sam and Mia. We are new in town. We came to the park to have fun and make friends. Do you want to be our friends?" Sam says. + +"Yes, we do!" Ben says. + +"Can we have some of your food?" Lily says. + +"Of course, you can. There is plenty for everyone. Come, sit with us and share our picnic. We can talk and play together. We can unite and have a good time." Mia says. + +Lily and Ben are happy. They sit on the spot. They eat the yummy food. They talk and play with Sam and Mia. They make new friends. They unite and have a good time. They are glad they found the spot. +Sara and Ben were restless. They wanted to play outside, but it was too cold and snowy. They looked at the big white hill in their backyard. It looked like an igloo. + +"Let's make an igloo!" Sara said. + +"Yes, let's!" Ben agreed. + +They put on their coats, hats, gloves and boots. They ran outside with a shovel and a bucket. They dug and packed the snow into blocks. They stacked the blocks into a circle. They left a hole for the door. They crawled inside their igloo. + +"It's cozy in here!" Sara said. + +"It's like a fort!" Ben said. + +They pretended they were explorers in the Arctic. They told stories and jokes. They laughed and had fun. + +But then they heard a loud noise. It sounded like a growl. They looked at the door. They saw a big black nose and two shiny eyes. It was a bear! + +"Help!" Sara and Ben screamed. + +They grabbed their shovel and bucket. They tried to scare the bear away. But the bear was hungry and curious. It pushed its head into the igloo. It knocked down the blocks. It made the igloo collapse. + +Sara and Ben ran out of the snow. They ran to their house. They slammed the door behind them. They were safe. + +They looked out the window. They saw the bear sniffing the snow. It found their shovel and bucket. It played with them. It looked happy. + +Sara and Ben felt sorry for the bear. It was lonely and cold. They wished they could be friends with it. + +"Maybe we can make another igloo tomorrow," Sara said. + +"Maybe we can share it with the bear," Ben said. + +They smiled at each other. They were not restless anymore. They were ready to settle down for the night. They hugged their mom and dad. They went to bed. They dreamed of igloos and bears. +Lily and Ben are twins.

But you have to share them with each other. And you have to be good and listen to me." + +Lily and Ben nod and say, "Yes, Mom. We will share and be good." They are happy with their new toys. They thank Mom and hug her. + +They go home and play with their toys. Lily lets Ben cuddle the teddy bear. Ben lets Lily make the clown squeak. They have fun and laugh together. They are good twins.

Sometimes they pretended they were in the jungle or the zoo. + +One day, they saw a poster on the wall. It said there was a contest at the park. Whoever could make the best animal sound would win a prize. Tim and Kim wanted to win the prize. They wondered what it was. Maybe a new toy, or a book, or a candy. + +They decided to practice their animal sounds. They took out their toy animals and made them roar and growl and hiss. They tried to sound like the real animals. They had fun, but they also wanted to sound good. + +The next day, they went to the park with their mom. There were many other kids there. They all wanted to win the prize. The contest started. The judge called the kids one by one. They made their animal sounds. Some sounded like birds, some like dogs, some like monkeys.

She picked up her toy tiger and made a soft roar. She sounded very cute. The judge smiled and clapped. + +The judge said it was time to announce the winner. He said it was very hard to choose, because all the kids did a great job. But he said there was one kid who made a very special sound. A sound that was not normal, but very funny. A sound that made everyone laugh. He said the winner was Kim! + +Kim was surprised and happy. She ran to the judge and hugged him. He gave her the prize. It was a big stuffed animal.

They have fun with their toys and their friends. But they have to be alert. They have to listen for the bell. + +The bell is on the gate of the park. It rings when it is time to go home. Mom and dad permit them to play until the bell rings. Then they have to pack their toys and say goodbye to their friends. + +One day, Lily and Ben are playing with their kite. They run and laugh as the kite flies high in the sky. They do not hear the bell. They do not see mom and dad waving at them. They are too busy with their kite. + +Mom and dad are worried.

They see a big castle with a king and a queen. They see knights and horses and swords. They see a dragon. The dragon is fierce. It has red scales and yellow eyes. It breathes fire and roars. + +The king and the queen are scared of the dragon. They ask the knights to fight the dragon. The knights put on their armor and ride their horses.

It is morning. Time to get ready for school. + +Tom and Anna open their eyes. They see their mom. They see their beds. They see their book of history. They smile at each other. They remember their dream. They say to their mom: + +"Mom, we had a great dream. We were in the history book. We saw a castle and a dragon. We were brave and we saved the king and the queen. Can we tell you our story?" + +Their mom smiles and hugs them. She says: + +"Of course, my loves. I want to hear your story. You are my little heroes. You have a big imagination. You make history come alive." +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big tree with red and yellow fruits. They are apples. + +"Look, Lily, apples!" Tom says. "Let's pick some and eat them." + +"OK, Tom, but be careful. The tree is very high and the apples are wild. They may be sour or have worms," Lily says. + +They start to climb the tree. They find a branch with many apples. They pick some and put them in a bag. They are happy. + +But then, they hear a loud bark. It is a dog. A big, black dog. It runs to the tree and jumps. It wants the apples. + +"Help, Lily, a dog!" Tom says. "It is angry and scary. What do we do?" + +"Quick, Tom, throw an apple at it. Maybe it will go away," Lily says. + +Tom throws an apple at the dog. The dog catches it and bites it. It makes a face. The apple is sour. The dog spits it out and runs away. + +"Phew, Lily, we are safe. The dog did not like the apple. It was a bad apple," Tom says. + +"Yes, Tom, it was a bad apple. But we have good apples. Let's go and eat them. They are sweet and juicy," Lily says. + +They climb down the tree and go to a bench. They eat the apples and share them with some birds. They are happy. They like apples.

Anna and Ben looked at the car and saw a screw was loose. + +"Oh no, the car is broken!" Anna said. + +"Maybe we can fix it," Ben said. He picked up the screw and tried to put it back in the hole. But the hole was too small and the screw was too big. + +"It doesn't fit," Ben said. He looked around for another screw. He saw one on the floor. It was smaller than the first one. He tried to use it, but it was too small and it fell out. + +"It's too small," Ben said. He was sad. He liked the car and he wanted to play with it. + +Anna saw a boy sitting on a bench. He had a toolbox with many screws and tools. He was shy and he did not talk to anyone. Anna had an idea. + +"Maybe he can help us," Anna said. She took Ben's hand and walked to the boy. + +"Hello, what is your name?" Anna asked. + +The boy looked up and saw Anna and Ben. He was surprised. He did not have many friends. + +"My name is Leo," he said. + +"We are Anna and Ben. We have a problem. Our car is broken and we need a screw. Can you help us?" Anna asked. + +Leo looked at the car and saw the loose screw. He smiled. He liked to solve problems and he knew a lot about screws and tools. + +"Sure, I can help you. I have many screws and tools. Let me see what I can do," Leo said. + +He took the car and opened his toolbox. He found a screw that was just right for the hole. He used a tool to tighten it.

They hug and say, "Bye, bye, temple!" +Lily loved her fish tank. She liked to watch the fish swim and play. She gave them names and food every day. She had a red fish, a blue fish, a yellow fish and a green fish. They were her friends. + +One day, Lily went to visit her grandma. She was happy to see her, but she also missed her fish tank. She wondered if they were lonely without her. She asked her grandma if she could call her mom and dad. + +"Sure, sweetie. You can use my phone. Do you want to talk to them?" Grandma said. + +"Yes, please. I want to say hello and ask about my fish," Lily said. + +Grandma dialed the number and gave the phone to Lily. Lily heard her mom's voice. + +"Hi, Lily. How are you? Are you having fun with grandma?" Mom said. + +"Hi, mom. I'm good. Grandma is nice. She gave me cookies and milk. But I miss you and dad and my fish tank. Are my fish okay?"

Mom said. + +"Yes, please. I want to hear them," Lily said. + +Mom put the phone near the tank and Lily heard the water and the fish noises. She smiled and felt a little better. + +"I hear them, mom. They sound happy. I love them. And I love you and dad. Can I come back soon?" Lily said. + +"We love you too, Lily. And yes, you can come back soon. We will pick you up tomorrow. But enjoy your time with grandma. She has a surprise for you. A soft and cuddly surprise. Do you want to know what it is?" Mom said. + +"What is it, mom? Tell me, tell me," Lily said. + +"It's a secret. You have to wait and see. But I'll give you a hint. It's something you can hug and sleep with. And it has fur and whiskers," Mom said. + +Lily gasped and clapped her hands. + +"Is it a kitty? A kitty for me?" Lily said. + +"Maybe. You'll find out tomorrow.

Your fish tank and your surprise will be waiting for you," Grandma said. + +They went to Lily's room and read a story. Lily felt happy and sleepy. She dreamed of her fish tank and her kitty. And she knew she would see them soon. +Lily was a lucky girl. She had a big life with many toys and books and friends. She liked to play with her dolls and dress them up in pretty clothes. She had a big box full of clothes for her dolls. + +One day, she wanted to play with her new doll, Anna. She took Anna out of the box and looked for a dress for her. She tried to put on a pink dress, but it was too small. It did not fit Anna. She tried to put on a blue dress, but it was too big. It did not fit Anna either. She tried many dresses, but none of them fit Anna. Lily was sad and angry. She did not understand why Anna did not fit any of her clothes. + +She went to her mom and showed her Anna and the dresses. She said, "Mom, why does Anna not fit any of my clothes? I want to play with her, but she has nothing to wear. It is not fair!" + +Her mom smiled and hugged her. She said, "Lily, Anna is a special doll. She is not like your other dolls. She is a baby doll. She needs baby clothes, not big girl clothes. Look, I have a surprise for you. I bought some baby clothes for Anna. They are in this bag. Do you want to see them?" + +Lily nodded and smiled. She opened the bag and saw many cute baby clothes for Anna. There were onesies, bibs, hats, socks, and blankets. Lily was happy and excited. She said, "Thank you, mom! These are perfect for Anna. She will look so cute in them. Can I try them on her?" + +Her mom said, "Of course, my dear. You can play with Anna and her new clothes. You are a lucky girl, Lily. You have a big life with many toys and books and friends.

She is the best doll ever. We are going to have so much fun together." She took Anna and her new clothes and went to her room. She dressed Anna in different outfits and played with her. She was a lucky girl. She had a big life. +Ben and Lily were best friends. They liked to play together every day. They had a big box of toys and they pretended to be different things. Sometimes they were pirates, sometimes they were doctors, sometimes they were superheroes. + +One day, they decided to play marriage. They put on some old clothes and hats and rings. They held hands and said, "I do". They kissed and hugged and smiled. They were very happy. + +Then, Ben's mom came to pick him up. She said, "It's time to go home, Ben. Say goodbye to Lily." + +Ben did not want to go. He said, "But mom, we are married. We have to stay together. We are powerful. We can do anything." + +Lily nodded. She said, "Yes, mom. We are married. We love each other. We are powerful. We can do anything." + +Ben's mom laughed. She said, "You are very cute, but you are not really married. You are just playing. You can play again tomorrow. But now, you have to go home and have dinner and sleep. You need to wake up early for school." + +Ben and Lily looked sad. They did not understand. They thought they were really married. They thought they were powerful. They thought they could do anything. + +They gave each other one more kiss and hug. They said, "Bye, bye. See you tomorrow. I love you." + +They waved and smiled. They hoped to play marriage again. They hoped to be powerful again. They hoped to do anything again. +Ben and Mia were playing in the park. They liked to climb the big slide and go down fast. They laughed and shouted as they slid down again and again. + +But then they saw some smoke in the sky. It was black and thick and scary. They wondered what it was and where it came from. + +"Look, Ben, smoke!" Mia said, pointing at the sky. + +"Maybe it's a fire," Ben said, feeling worried. + +"Let's go see," Mia said, feeling curious. + +They ran to the gate of the park. But they could not go out. There was a big man in a yellow coat. He had a hat and a hose. He was a firefighter. + +"Sorry, kids, you can't go out. There's a fire in the street. It's not safe," he said, blocking the gate. + +"But we want to see the fire," Mia said, feeling impatient. + +"You can't see the fire. It's too dangerous. You have to stay in the park until it's over," he said, sounding firm. + +Ben and Mia felt sad and angry. They did not like to wait. They wanted to see the smoke and the fire. They did not understand why they had to stay in the park. + +They went back to the slide. But they did not feel like playing anymore. They just sat on the slide and looked at the smoke. They hoped the fire would go away soon. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big bird in the sky. The bird can fly very high and fast. + +"Wow, look at the bird!" Anna says. "I wish I could fly like that." + +"Me too," Ben says. "Maybe we can make wings and fly." + +They run to the shed and find some paper and tape. They cut the paper into shapes and tape them to their arms. They are very happy with their wings. + +"Let's go and fly!" Anna says. They run to the hill and flap their arms. They feel the wind on their faces. + +But they do not fly. They only run and jump. They are sad. + +"Maybe we need more wind," Ben says. He sees a big fan on the side of the shed. It is for the cows. He has a nosy idea. + +"Come on, Anna, let's try the fan!" He says. He runs to the fan and turns it on. The fan makes a loud noise and blows a lot of air. + +Anna follows him. She is scared of the fan. It is too big and loud. + +"Ben, I don't think this is a good idea," she says. + +But Ben does not listen. He holds his wings and stands in front of the fan. He hopes to fly. + +But he does not fly. The fan blows him away. He falls on the grass. He hurts his knee. He cries. + +Anna runs to him and hugs him. She is sorry for him. + +"Ben, are you okay?" She asks. + +"No, I'm not okay," Ben says. "I wanted to fly, but I only fell. The fan was too strong. And my wings are broken." + +Anna looks at his wings. They are torn and crumpled. She feels sad too. + +"I'm sorry, Ben," she says. "Maybe we can't fly like the bird. Maybe we can only fly in our dreams." + +They sit on the grass and look at the sky. They see the bird fly away. They wish they could fly too. But they are still friends. And they still have fun. +Lily and Max were best friends. They liked to play in the park and look at the sky. One day, they saw a big, shiny ball in the sky. It was the sun. + +"Hello, sun!" Lily said. She waved her hand at the sun. "You are so bright and warm!" + +Max waved his hand too. "Hello, sun!" he said. "You are so big and round!" + +The sun smiled at them. It was happy to see them. "Hello, Lily and Max!" the sun said. "You are so sweet and smart!" + +Lily and Max were surprised. They did not know the sun could talk. They wanted to know more about the sun. + +"Sun, what are you?" Lily asked. + +"I am a star," the sun said. "I am one of many stars in the universe." + +"What is the universe?" Max asked. + +"The universe is everything," the sun said. "It is all the stars and planets and moons and space." + +Lily and Max looked at the sky again. They saw many tiny, twinkling lights. They were the other stars. + +"Wow, the universe is so big and beautiful!" Lily said. + +"Yes, it is," the sun said. "And you are part of it. You are special and wonderful." + +Lily and Max felt happy and proud. They hugged each other and thanked the sun. + +"Thank you, sun!" they said. "You are our friend!" + +The sun winked at them and said, "You are welcome, Lily and Max! You are my friends too!" + +Then, the sun started to go down. It was time for night. + +"Goodbye, sun!" Lily and Max said. They waved their hands again. + +"Goodbye, Lily and Max!" the sun said. "Have a good night! I will see you tomorrow!" + +Lily and Max went home with their parents. They told them about the sun and the universe. Their parents smiled and hugged them. They were happy and proud too. + +Lily and Max had a good night. They dreamed of the sun and the stars. They were chubby and cozy in their beds. They were happy and loved. +Lily and Ben liked to play pretend. They had a stage in their room, made of boxes and blankets. They put on hats and dresses and acted out stories. Lily was the princess and Ben was the dragon. + +One day, they decided to play a new story. Lily said, "I am the princess and you are the knight. You have to save me from the dragon." Ben said, "OK, but where is the dragon?" Lily said, "The dragon is hiding under the stage. He will rise up and roar when I call for help." + +They went to the stage and started to play. Lily said, "Oh, no, I am trapped in the tower. Help, help, a dragon is coming!" Ben said, "Don't worry, princess, I am here to save you. I have a sword and a shield." He pretended to fight the dragon under the stage. + +But the dragon was not pretending. It was a real dragon that had sneaked into their room. It was hungry and angry. It rose up from under the stage and roared. It had big teeth and claws and fire. It bit Ben and burned Lily. They screamed and cried, but no one heard them. The dragon ate them both and left. + +Their mom came to check on them later. She saw the stage and the hats and the dresses. She saw the blood and the ashes. She saw the dragon tracks. She was very sad and scared. She wished they had been more wise and not played with a dragon. +Tom and Sam like to play football. They have a big ball and a small goal. They take turns to kick the ball and try to score. They count how many goals they make. They number them: one, two, three, four, five. + +One day, a new boy comes to play with them. His name is Ben. He says he is very good at football. He says he can score more goals than Tom and Sam. He says he can number them: six, seven, eight, nine, ten. + +Tom and Sam say they want to see him play. They let him join their game. They kick the ball to him. But Ben does not kick the ball. He picks it up with his hands. He runs with it to the goal. He throws it in. He says: "That is one goal for me!" + +Tom and Sam are angry. They say: "That is not how you play football! You have to kick the ball with your feet! You are not allowed to use your hands! You are cheating!" + +Ben says: "No, I am not cheating. I am playing my way. I am better than you. I can number more goals than you. Watch me!" + +He picks up the ball again. He runs with it to the other goal. He throws it in. He says: "That is two goals for me!" + +Tom and Sam are very angry. They say: "That is not football! That is foolish! You are not playing with us. You are playing by yourself. You are not fun. You are not our friend. Go away!" + +They take their ball and their goal. They leave Ben alone. Ben is sad. He does not understand why they are mad. He does not know how to play football. He does not know how to number. He does not know how to be a friend. He is foolish. +Ben and Lily were friends. They liked to play with toys and books. One day, Ben brought a new toy to school. It was a red car that could make noises and move. Lily saw the car and wanted to play with it too. + +"Can I see your car, Ben?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, Lily. You can see it, but it is mine. You have to give it back," Ben said. + +Lily took the car and looked at it. She pressed a button and the car made a loud honk. She smiled and pressed another button. The car moved forward and bumped into a chair. Lily laughed and held the car close to her. + +"Give me back my car, Lily. It is mine," Ben said. + +"No, I want to play with it more. It is fun," Lily said. + +Ben felt angry and jealous. He wanted his car back. He did not like that Lily did not listen to him. He tried to grab the car from Lily, but she pulled it away. + +"Stop it, Ben. You are mean. I don't want to be your friend," Lily said. + +The teacher saw Ben and Lily fighting. She came over and took the car from them. + +"Ben, Lily, what is going on? Why are you fighting over the car?" the teacher asked. + +"Teacher, Lily took my car and did not give it back. It is mine," Ben said. + +"Teacher, Ben let me see his car, but then he wanted it back. He was jealous," Lily said. + +The teacher sighed and looked at them. + +"Ben, Lily, you need to learn to share and trust each other. The car is Ben's, but he can let you play with it if he wants to. Lily, you need to respect Ben's toy and give it back when he asks you. You can play with other toys or books. Fighting is not nice. Do you understand?" the teacher said. + +Ben and Lily nodded. They felt sorry for making the teacher sad. They said sorry to each other and hugged. + +"Can we still be friends, Ben?" Lily asked. + +"Yes, Lily. We can still be friends. Do you want to play with my car together?" Ben asked. + +"Okay, Ben. Thank you for sharing your car with me. It is very cool," Lily said. + +They smiled and took the car from the teacher. They played with the car and had fun. They learned to share and trust each other. They were happy. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. Lily had a big doll that she liked very much. Ben had a small car that he liked very much. They were happy and shared their toys. + +But then, Ben saw a shiny necklace on the table. It was Mom's necklace. Ben wanted to play with it. He thought it was a snake. He reached for it and took it. + +"Ben, no!" Lily said. "That is Mom's necklace. You cannot play with it. It is not a toy. It is very pretty and very important. You have to put it back." + +But Ben did not listen. He was naughty. He ran away with the necklace. He wanted to make it hiss and coil. He did not care about Mom. + +Lily was worried. She knew Mom would be sad and angry if she saw the necklace was gone. She was obedient. She wanted to make Mom happy. She ran after Ben. She caught him and said, "Ben, please, give me the necklace. You have to remove it from your neck. It is not yours. It is Mom's. She will be very upset if you lose it or break it. Please, be a good brother and share." + +But Ben did not listen. He was stubborn. He held the necklace tight and said, "No, it is mine. It is a snake. It is fun. Go away." + +Lily was sad. She did not know what to do. She tried to be gentle and nice. She said, "Ben, I love you. You are my brother. I want to play with you. But you have to be kind and respectful. You have to follow the rules. You have to give back what is not yours. You have to remove the necklace and say sorry to Mom. Then we can play with our toys again. Please, be a good brother and share." + +Ben looked at Lily. He saw her eyes were wet and her voice was soft. He felt sorry. He realized he was wrong. He was ashamed. He said, "Lily, I love you. You are my sister. I want to play with you. But I was bad and selfish. I did not follow the rules. I did not give back what was not mine. I did not remove the necklace and say sorry to Mom. I am sorry. Please, forgive me." + +He removed the necklace from his neck and gave it to Lily. Lily smiled and hugged him. She said, "Thank you, Ben. You are a good brother. I forgive you. Let's put the necklace back on the table and say sorry to Mom. Then we can play with our toys again. I am proud of you." + +They put the necklace back on the table and said sorry to Mom. Mom was happy and proud. She hugged them and kissed them. She said, "I love you, Lily and Ben. You are my children. You are obedient and brave. You learned a valuable lesson. You have to be honest and generous. You have to respect what belongs to others. You have to remove what is not yours and say sorry. Then you can be happy and play. Well done, my children." + +Lily and Ben were happy and played. They learned a valuable lesson. They were obedient and brave. They were honest and generous. They respected what belonged to others.

They were going to see their grandma and grandpa in another place. Lily and Tom liked to look out the window and see the view. They saw clouds and birds and mountains and water. + +"Look, Tom, there is a big lake!" Lily said, pointing. + +"Wow, it is so blue and clear!" Tom said, smiling. + +They watched the lake for a while, then they started to feel sleepy.

Lily asked. + +"Sure, honey, you can rest your head on my lap," their mom said. + +Lily and Tom snuggled up to their mom and closed their eyes. They felt the plane go up and down and heard the noise of the engine. + +But then, something bad happened. The plane started to shake and make loud sounds. The people on the plane screamed and cried. The pilot said something on the speaker, but Lily and Tom did not understand. Their mom and dad looked scared and hugged them tight. + +The plane went down and down, faster and faster. Lily and Tom opened their eyes and saw the lake again, but it was not clear and blue anymore. It was dark and scary. They felt a big bump and a splash. The water came in and filled the plane. Lily and Tom could not breathe. They could not see their mom and dad. They were very afraid. + +The end. +Lily and Ben were at the zoo with their mom. They liked to see the animals and learn their names. They saw lions, elephants, monkeys, and many more. + +"Look, mom, a gorilla!" Lily said, pointing to a big, black, hairy animal in a cage. "He is so big and strong!" + +"Yes, he is, Lily. But he is also modest. He does not like to show off or fight with other gorillas. He likes to eat bananas and play with his friends," mom said. + +"Can we give him a banana, mom?" Ben asked. + +"Sorry, Ben, we can't. The zookeepers feed the gorillas and we have to respect their rules. But we can wave to him and say hello," mom said. + +Lily and Ben waved to the gorilla and said hello. The gorilla looked at them and smiled. He waved back and made a funny sound. + +"Wow, he is so nice and friendly!" Lily said. + +"Maybe he wants to be our friend," Ben said. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud noise. It was the zoo alarm. Something was wrong. + +"Attention, visitors, please rush to the nearest exit. There is an emergency. Please stay calm and follow the instructions of the staff," a voice said over the speakers. + +"What's happening, mom?" Lily asked, scared. + +"I don't know, Lily, but we have to go. Come on, Ben, hold my hand. Let's go," mom said. + +They rushed to the exit, along with many other people.

They hoped he would remember them. +Lily and Max are twins. They like to play and share. But sometimes they want the same thing. One day, Mom made muffins for breakfast. She gave one muffin to Lily and one muffin to Max. But Lily wanted Max's muffin. She said, "Your muffin is bigger and yummier. I want it!" + +Max did not want to give his muffin to Lily. He said, "No, this is my muffin. You have your own muffin. It is the same as mine. Eat it!" + +Lily and Max started to fight. They pulled and pushed each other. They made a lot of noise. Mom heard them and came to the kitchen. She saw the mess and the muffins. She was not happy. She said, "Stop fighting, Lily and Max. You are both lively and hungry, but you need to be nice and fair. You can have half of each muffin. Then you can have the same amount and the same taste. OK?" + +Lily and Max looked at each other. They felt sorry for being mean. They said, "OK, Mom. We are sorry. We will share the muffins." They cut the muffins in half and swapped one half with each other. They said, "Thank you, Mom. Thank you, Lily. Thank you, Max." They ate the muffins and smiled. They were happy and full. They hugged Mom and each other. They said, "We love you, Mom. We love you, Lily. We love you, Max." They went to play and share. They were good twins. +Lila and Ben were playing with cubes. They liked to stack them and make towers and houses. Lila had a red cube, a blue cube, and a yellow cube. Ben had a green cube, a purple cube, and a white cube. + +"Look at my tower!" Lila said. "It is very tall and bright. Your tower is dull and small." + +Ben felt sad. He did not like Lila's words. He wanted to have a bright tower too. He looked at Lila's cubes and had an idea. He reached for the yellow cube and tried to take it. + +"Hey, stop!" Lila shouted. "That is my cube. Give it back!" + +"No, I want it!" Ben said. "You have too many bright cubes. I only have one." + +They pulled and pushed the yellow cube. It fell to the floor and broke into pieces. Lila and Ben gasped. They had spoiled the cube. They looked at each other and felt sorry. + +"I'm sorry, Lila," Ben said. "I should not have taken your cube. It was not nice." + +"I'm sorry, Ben," Lila said. "I should not have said your tower was dull. It was not true." + +They hugged and said they were friends. They picked up the pieces of the yellow cube and tried to fix it. They decided to share their cubes and make a new tower together. It was not very tall or bright, but it was fun and fair. +Anna likes to step on the earth. She likes to feel the soft grass and the hard stones under her feet. She likes to see the flowers and the bugs that live on the earth. She likes to smell the fresh air and hear the birds sing. + +One day, Anna goes to the park with her mom and dad. They bring a big blanket and a basket of food. They find a nice spot under a big tree and spread the blanket on the earth. Anna steps off the blanket and runs to the swings. She swings high and low, feeling the wind on her face. + +Then she sees a big puddle of water on the earth. She runs to the puddle and jumps in. She splashes and laughs, making the water fly in the air. She gets wet and muddy, but she does not care. She is happy. + +Her mom and dad call her to come back to the blanket.

He takes the crystal from Sara. He holds it up to the sun. It makes many colors. + +"It is like a rainbow!" Ben says. He smiles. + +But then, they hear a loud voice. It is Mom. + +"Kids, come inside now!" Mom says. "It is going to rain soon. And be careful with that crystal. It is not a toy. It is very sharp. It can hurt you." + +Mom warns them. She knows the crystal is not safe. + +"Okay, Mom," Sara and Ben say. They put the crystal back in the grass. They run to the house. They take their toys with them. They do not want them to get wet. + +They go inside. They hug Mom. They say sorry for taking the crystal. + +"It is okay," Mom says. "I am glad you are safe.

Bad Tommy, bad!" + +Mom heard the noise and came into the room. She saw Anna crying and Tommy with the torn paper in his mouth. She took the paper from Tommy and hugged Anna. She said, "I'm sorry, Anna. Tommy didn't know. He's too little to understand. He didn't mean to hurt your bell. He just wanted to play." + +Anna sniffed and looked at her mom. She said, "But mom, I worked hard on my bell. It was a good bell. Now it's gone." + +Mom smiled and said, "I know, Anna. You are gifted at drawing. You can make another bell. And maybe you can teach Tommy how to draw when he grows up. He might be gifted too." + +Anna nodded and wiped her tears. She said, "OK, mom. I'll try. But can you keep Tommy away from my crayons?" + +Mom laughed and said, "Of course, Anna. I'll keep Tommy away from your crayons. And I'll keep your drawings safe. Come on, let's go to the kitchen. I have a surprise for you." + +Anna followed her mom to the kitchen. She wondered what the surprise was. She hoped it was something sweet and yummy.

"You are so pretty and tall. Can I pet you?" + +The big giraffe looked at Lily and yawned. He was not interested in her. He wanted to eat and sleep. The baby giraffe was curious.

He glared at Lily and showed his teeth. + +"Hey, stop that!" Lily said. "That is not nice. The baby giraffe is not yours. He can play with me if he wants to. You are mean and rude." + +The big giraffe did not listen. He kept pushing the baby giraffe and making noises. The baby giraffe was scared and sad. He wanted to play with Lily, but he did not want to make the big giraffe mad. + +"Mom, dad, help!" Lily said. "The big giraffe is hurting the baby giraffe. He is not nice. He is bad." + +Lily's mom and dad saw the big giraffe and the baby giraffe. They were worried and angry. They called the staff of the zoo. + +"Excuse me, can you help us?" Lily's dad said. "The big giraffe is bullying the baby giraffe. He is not letting him play with our daughter. He is being aggressive and mean." + +The staff of the zoo heard Lily's dad and came to the fence. They saw the big giraffe and the baby giraffe. They were shocked and sad. They knew the big giraffe was the baby giraffe's father. He was supposed to protect him and love him, not hurt him and hate him. + +"Sir, we are sorry for this. We will take care of it." The staff of the zoo said. "The big giraffe is having some problems. He is not feeling well. He is not happy. He needs some help. We will take him to the vet and give him some medicine. We will also give him some toys and friends. We hope he will get better soon." + +The staff of the zoo opened the gate and went inside the fence. They used a rope and a stick to catch the big giraffe. They put him in a big truck and drove him away. The baby giraffe was left alone. He was confused and lonely. He missed his father, but he also missed Lily. + +"Bye, baby giraffe!" Lily said. "I hope you will be okay. I hope your father will be okay too. I hope he will be nice to you and to me. I hope I will see you again.

She put the coin under her pillow and went to sleep. + +That night, Lily had a dream. She dreamed that a fairy came to her room and asked her what she wished for. Lily thought for a moment and then said, "I wish I had a friend to play with, and a park to go to, and a pet to cuddle and feed." + +The fairy smiled and said, "Your wish is very sweet, Lily. But you already have a friend, and a park, and a pet. You just have to look around and see them." + +Lily opened her eyes and saw that the fairy was right. She saw that her mom and dad were her friends, and that they loved her very much. She saw that her backyard was her park, and that it had many flowers and bugs to explore.

The fairy winked and said, "You're welcome, Lily. And remember, you don't need a coin to make a wish. You just need to use your imagination and your heart." + +Lily nodded and smiled. She understood what the fairy meant. She was a very obedient and a very lucky girl. +Tim and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. They see a big tree with many fruits. The fruits are red and round. They are apples. + +"Look, Sam, apples!" Tim says. "Let's pick some and eat them. They are yummy." + +"OK, Tim, but we have to be careful. The tree is not ours.

It is better to be generous than to be greedy. It is better to be friends than to be enemies. +Sara and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to smell the flowers and chase the butterflies. Sara saw a big red rose and ran to pick it. She wanted to give it to her mom. + +But Ben saw it too and he wanted it for himself. He ran faster than Sara and grabbed the rose first. He pulled hard and the rose came off the stem. + +"Hey, that's not fair!" Sara cried. "I saw it first! Give it back!" + +"No, it's mine!" Ben said. He held the rose close to his chest. "I like it more!" + +Sara was very angry and sad. She tried to take the rose from Ben, but he pushed her away. She fell on the grass and scraped her knee. She started to cry. + +Mom heard the noise and came out of the house. She saw Sara crying and Ben holding the rose. She frowned and asked them what happened. + +Ben shrugged and said, "I don't know. Sara wanted my rose, but I found it." + +Mom looked at the rose and saw that it was dull and wilted. It had lost its petals and its smell. She shook her head and said, "That's not a nice rose, Ben. You hurt it and Sara when you took it. You should say sorry and share." + +Ben felt ashamed and sorry. He looked at Sara and saw that she was still crying. He walked to her and gave her the rose. He said, "I'm sorry, Sara. I was mean. You can have the rose. It's pretty, like you." + +Sara smiled and wiped her tears. She took the rose and hugged Ben. She said, "Thank you, Ben. I'm sorry too. We can share the rose. It's still nice, like you." + +Mom smiled and hugged them both. She said, "That's better. I'm proud of you. Now let's go inside and get a band-aid for Sara's knee.

Sometimes, we get sick because of germs or other reasons. But God is always with us and he helps us get better. He also gives us people who love us and care for us, like me and dad and your friends. You can still talk to God and thank him for his love and ask him for his help. He will hear you and answer you." + +Lily felt a little better. She prayed to God and thanked him for his love and asked him for his help. She also asked him to bless her friends and the church. She then rested and drank some water.

The sun was very hot and bright. It made their skin red and sore. They felt itchy and ouchy. They ran inside to find their mom. She saw their skin and said, "Oh no, you have sunburns. You should always put on lotion before you go outside. It protects your skin from the sun. Come, I will put some lotion on you and give you some water." + +She took them to the bathroom and put some lotion on their skin. It felt cool and nice. She also gave them some water to drink. They said, "Thank you, mom. We are sorry we forgot to put on lotion. We will remember next time." She said, "That's good. I love you, Ben and Lily. Now, you can rest for a while and then play with your house again. But remember to stay in the shade and wear hats and clothes that cover your skin." + +Ben and Lily hugged their mom and said, "We love you too, mom. You are the best." They learned their lesson and never forgot to put on lotion again. They also enjoyed playing with their house in the shade. They had fun and stayed safe. +Tom is a human boy who likes to dress up. He has many clothes in his closet. He has shirts, pants, hats, shoes and more. He likes to mix and match different colors and styles. He thinks he looks very cool and fun. + +One day, he wants to dress up as a pirate. He finds a long coat, a long scarf, a long belt and a long sword. He puts them on and looks at himself in the mirror. He says, "Arrr, I am a pirate! I am the best pirate in the world!" + +He goes to the living room, where his mom is reading a book. He says, "Mom, look at me! I am a pirate! Do you like my long coat, my long scarf, my long belt and my long sword?" His mom smiles and says, "You look very nice, Tom. But you know, being a pirate is not only about dressing up. Being a pirate means being mean, stealing, fighting and hurting other people. That is not good, Tom. That is bad." + +Tom feels sad. He says, "But I like to dress up, mom. I don't want to be mean, steal, fight or hurt anyone. I just want to have fun." His mom hugs him and says, "I know, Tom. Dressing up is fun, and you can dress up as anything you want. But you should also remember that what you wear does not make you who you are. Who you are is what you do, what you say and how you treat others. You can be a pirate, but you can also be a kind, honest, brave and helpful pirate. That is a good pirate, Tom. That is a good human." + +Tom thinks for a moment. He says, "You are right, mom. I want to be a good human. I want to be a good pirate. Can I still wear my long coat, my long scarf, my long belt and my long sword?" His mom says, "Of course, Tom. You can wear whatever you want, as long as you are happy and good. Now, how about we read a book together about some good pirates who help other people?" Tom says, "Yes, mom. That sounds fun. Thank you, mom. I love you, mom." His mom says, "I love you too, Tom. You are my favorite pirate in the world." +Ben and Sam were friends who liked to play outside. One day, they went to the park and saw a bridge over a stream. They wanted to cross the bridge and see what was on the other side. + +"Let's go, Ben!" Sam said. "Maybe we can find something fun over there." + +But Ben was scared of the bridge. He thought it was too high and too shaky. He did not want to fall into the water. + +"No, Sam, I don't want to go," Ben said. "The bridge is scary. Let's play here instead." + +Sam was disappointed. He thought Ben was boring. He wanted to have an adventure. + +"Fine, Ben, you can stay here," Sam said. "But I'm going to cross the bridge and have fun. Bye!" + +Sam ran to the bridge and started to cross it. He did not see that the bridge was old and broken. He did not hear the wood creak and crack. He did not feel the bridge sway and tilt. + +Ben watched Sam from the shore. He saw Sam get to the middle of the bridge. He saw the bridge break and fall. He saw Sam splash into the water. + +"Sam!" Ben shouted. "Are you okay?" + +Sam was wet and cold and scared. He tried to swim to the shore, but the water was too fast and too deep. He cried for help. + +"Help me, Ben! Help me!" + +Ben was scared too, but he wanted to help his friend. He looked around and saw a big stick. He ran to the stick and picked it up. He ran back to the water and reached the stick to Sam. + +"Grab the stick, Sam! Grab the stick!" Ben said. + +Sam grabbed the stick and Ben pulled him to the shore. They were both safe. + +"Thank you, Ben! Thank you for saving me!" Sam said. + +"I'm sorry, Sam. I'm sorry for calling you boring. You are not boring. You are brave and fun," Ben said. + +"I'm sorry, Ben. I'm sorry for leaving you behind. You are not scary. You are smart and kind," Sam said. + +They hugged and smiled. They learned to respect each other's feelings and to stick together. They were still friends who liked to play outside. But they never crossed the bridge again. +Lily liked to write with her crayons. She had many colors and she made pictures of her family, her dog, and her toys. She liked the texture of the paper, how it felt smooth and soft under her fingers. + +One day, she found a new paper in the kitchen. It was white and shiny and had letters and numbers on it. Lily thought it was pretty and she wanted to write on it. She took her crayons and started to draw a big flower. + +But the paper was not like the other paper. It was hard and slippery and the crayons did not make nice marks. They made scratches and smudges and tore the paper. Lily was sad and angry. She tried to erase the marks with her hand, but it only made them worse. + +Mom came into the kitchen and saw the mess. She was very mad. She saw that Lily had written on her important paper, the paper that she needed for her work. She yelled at Lily and took away her crayons. She said Lily was a bad girl and she had to go to her room. + +Lily cried and ran to her room. She felt sorry and scared. She wished Mom was compassionate and understood that she did not mean to ruin the paper. She wished she had her crayons and her old paper. She wished she could write a sorry note to Mom and make her happy again. But she could not. She had nothing to write with and nothing to write on. She felt very alone. +Lily liked to play dress-up with her mom's clothes. She found a thin blouse in the closet and put it on. It was too big for her and the sleeves covered her hands. She looked in the mirror and smiled. She felt like a grown-up. + +She went to the living room to show her mom. Her mom was reading a book on the couch. She saw Lily and said, "Oh, Lily, what are you wearing? That's my blouse. It's not for you." + +Lily felt sad. She liked the blouse and wanted to keep it. She said, "But mom, I want to wear it. It's pretty. Please, can I have it?" + +Her mom shook her head. She said, "No, Lily, you can't have it. It's mine and it's not your size. You have your own clothes that fit you and are pretty too. You should respect other people's things and ask before you take them. That's the right thing to do." + +Lily realized she was wrong. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I didn't ask you. I won't do it again. I'll take it off and put it back in the closet." She hugged her mom and said, "I love you, mom. You're the best." + +Her mom hugged her back and said, "I love you too, Lily. You're a good girl. You can play dress-up with your own clothes or with the ones I give you. But always remember to be polite and honest." +Sara loves to paint. She has many colors of paint and a big paper. She likes to make pictures of flowers, animals and rainbows. She is very happy when she paints. + +One day, she sees a new boy in her class. His name is Ben. He looks sad and lonely. He does not have any paint or paper. He sits by himself and watches Sara paint. + +Sara feels sorry for Ben. She is a compassionate girl. She wants to help him and make him happy. She decides to ask him a question. + +"Hi, Ben. Do you want to paint with me?" Sara asks. She smiles and holds out her paint and paper. + +Ben looks surprised and shy. He does not know Sara. He does not know how to paint. He shakes his head and says, "No, thank you." + +Sara does not give up. She thinks of another question. She says, "Do you like flowers? I can show you how to paint a flower. It is easy and fun." + +Ben looks curious and interested. He likes flowers. He nods and says, "Yes, I like flowers." + +Sara is happy. She moves closer to Ben and gives him some paint and paper. She says, "Look, this is how you paint a flower. You make a circle for the center and some lines for the petals. Then you can choose any color you want." + +Ben watches Sara and tries to copy her. He makes a circle and some lines. He chooses yellow and blue. He paints his flower. He smiles and says, "Look, I made a flower." + +Sara looks at Ben's flower and claps her hands. She says, "Wow, you made a beautiful flower. You are a good painter. Do you want to paint more?" + +Ben nods and says, "Yes, I want to paint more. Thank you, Sara. You are a nice friend." + +Sara and Ben paint more flowers, animals and rainbows. They talk and laugh. They have fun. They become friends. They are happy. +Tim and Lily went to the zoo with Mom and Dad. They saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and giraffes. But Tim's favorite animal was the penguin. He liked how they waddled and slid on the ice. + +"Can I have a penguin, Mom?" Tim asked. + +"No, Tim, you can't have a penguin. Penguins live in very cold places, and they need a lot of fish and water. They are not pets, they are wild animals." Mom said. + +"But I want a penguin!" Tim cried. He stamped his feet and crossed his arms. He was a spoiled boy who always got what he wanted. + +Lily rolled her eyes. She was older and smarter than Tim. She knew that penguins were not toys. She also knew that Tim was being rude and silly. + +"Tim, stop being a baby. Look, the penguins are blinking at you. They are saying hello. Why don't you wave and smile at them?" Lily said. + +Tim looked at the penguins. They were blinking their black eyes and making funny noises. They seemed happy and friendly. Tim felt a little ashamed of his tantrum. He waved and smiled at the penguins. + +"Hello, penguins. You are very cute and cool. I'm sorry I was mean. I hope you have a nice day." Tim said. + +The penguins blinked and nodded. They seemed to understand Tim. Tim felt better. He hugged Lily and Mom and Dad. + +"Thank you for taking me to the zoo. I love you and I love the penguins." Tim said. + +The end. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide on the grass. They saw a big oak tree with many leaves. They wanted to climb the tree and see the birds and the sky. + +They ran to the tree and grabbed the branches. They pulled themselves up and moved from one branch to another. They felt like monkeys. They laughed and shouted. + +"Look, Lily, I can see the pond from here!" Tom said. + +"Wow, Tom, you are so high! Be careful!" Lily said. + +Tom looked down and saw the water shining in the sun. He wanted to get closer. He reached for another branch, but it was too thin. It broke with a snap. Tom lost his balance and slipped. He screamed. + +Lily heard Tom scream and looked for him. She saw him falling from the tree. She was scared. She wanted to help him. + +"Tom, Tom, are you okay?" Lily shouted. + +Tom landed on the grass. He felt a pain in his arm. He cried. He saw Lily running to him. He wanted her to hug him. + +"Lily, Lily, it hurts!" Tom cried. + +Lily reached Tom and hugged him. She saw his arm was red and swollen. She felt sorry for him. She wanted to make him feel better. + +"Tom, Tom, don't cry. I'm here. We will get help. You will be okay." Lily said. + +She helped him stand up and walk to the bench. She saw a lady with a dog. She waved to her. + +"Excuse me, lady, can you help us? My friend fell from the tree and his arm is hurt." Lily said. + +The lady saw Tom and Lily. She saw Tom's arm. She felt sorry for them. She wanted to help them. + +"Of course, dear, I can help you. Come with me. I have a phone. I will call your parents and a doctor. You are brave and kind." The lady said. + +She took them to her car and gave them some water and a cookie. She called their parents and a doctor. She waited with them until they came. She praised them for being good friends. + +Lily and Tom felt better. They thanked the lady and the dog. They hugged each other. They learned a lesson. They decided to be more careful when they climbed trees. They still liked the oak tree, but they liked each other more. +Lily and Tom were twins who liked to play outside. They had a big tree in their yard with many branches. They wanted to climb the tree and see the sky. + +"Can we climb the tree, Mom?" Lily asked. + +"Yes, but be careful. Don't go too high or too far. And don't let go of the branch," Mom said. + +Lily and Tom nodded and ran to the tree. They grabbed the lowest branch and pulled themselves up. They felt the bark under their hands and the wind in their hair. They smiled and looked at each other. + +"Wow, this is fun!" Tom said. + +"Let's go higher!" Lily said. + +They climbed higher and higher, until they reached a thin branch that swayed in the breeze. They saw a bird's nest with three eggs inside. They also saw a big cloud that looked like a spirit. + +"Look, Tom, a spirit cloud!" Lily said. + +"Where?" Tom said. + +"There, in the sky. It has eyes and a mouth and a nose. It looks friendly," Lily said. + +Tom looked and saw the cloud. He agreed that it looked friendly. He waved at the cloud and said hello. + +"Hello, spirit cloud! We are Lily and Tom. We are climbing the tree. Do you like to climb too?" he said. + +The cloud seemed to smile and nod. It moved closer to the tree and touched the thin branch with Lily and Tom. The branch shook and made a cracking sound. + +"Uh-oh, the branch is breaking!" Lily said. + +"Quick, let's go down!" Tom said. + +They let go of the thin branch and slid down the tree. They landed on the grass and rolled over. They were not hurt, but they were scared. + +"Are you okay, Lily?" Tom asked. + +"Are you okay, Tom?" Lily asked. + +They hugged each other and said yes. They looked up and saw the cloud. It looked sad and sorry. It made a raindrop fall on their heads. + +"Sorry, spirit cloud. We didn't mean to break your branch. We just wanted to see you," Lily said. + +"It's okay, spirit cloud. We are not mad at you. We still like you," Tom said. + +The cloud seemed to smile and nod again. It made a rainbow appear in the sky. It was a beautiful rainbow with many colors. + +"Wow, look, Lily, a rainbow!" Tom said. + +"Wow, look, Tom, a rainbow!" Lily said. + +They smiled and clapped their hands. They thanked the cloud and the rainbow. They ran to Mom and told her what they saw. + +Mom hugged them and said she was proud of them. She said they were brave and kind and had a lot of spirit. She said they could climb the tree again, but only on the strong branches. She said they could also make friends with the cloud and the rainbow, but only from a safe distance. + +Lily and Tom agreed and said they loved Mom. They loved the tree and the cloud and the rainbow too. They were happy and had a lot of fun. +Anna and Ben liked to swim in the sea. They had a big boat with their dad and mom. They saw many fish and shells and plants under the water. They wore masks and tubes to breathe. + +One day, they saw a big reef. It was like a wall of rocks and corals. It had many colors and shapes. Anna and Ben wanted to go closer and see more. But their dad said, "No, it is too deep and dangerous. You can get hurt or lost. We have to go back to the boat." + +Anna and Ben were stubborn. They did not listen to their dad. They swam away from the boat and towards the reef. They thought they could see better and have more fun. They did not see that the water was getting darker and colder. They did not hear that the waves were getting bigger and louder. + +Soon, they reached the reef. They saw many strange and beautiful things. They saw a starfish, a turtle, a clownfish, and a shark. They were happy and curious. They did not notice that the reef was getting higher and higher. They did not know that the tide was increasing. + +Their dad saw them from the boat. He was angry and worried. He shouted, "Anna! Ben! Come back! The tide is increasing! The reef is too high! You can't swim over it! You are in danger!" + +Anna and Ben heard their dad. They looked around. They saw that the water was very high and the reef was very close. They felt scared and sorry. They tried to swim back to the boat. But the water was too strong and the reef was too sharp. They could not move. They cried, "Dad! Mom! Help us! We are stuck!" + +Their dad and mom jumped into the water. They swam fast and hard. They reached Anna and Ben. They pulled them away from the reef. They carried them back to the boat. They hugged them and kissed them. They said, "We are so glad you are safe. But you were very naughty and foolish. You should have listened to us. You should never swim near the reef when the tide is increasing. It is very dangerous. Do you understand?" + +Anna and Ben nodded. They said, "We are sorry, dad and mom. We understand. We will never do it again. We love you. Thank you for saving us." + +Their dad and mom smiled. They said, "We love you too. But next time, please be careful and obey us. The sea is beautiful, but it can also be dangerous. You have to respect it and learn from it." + +Anna and Ben agreed. They learned a lesson. They never swam near the reef when the tide was increasing. They still liked to swim in the sea, but they always stayed close to the boat and listened to their dad and mom. They saw many fish and shells and plants under the water. They wore masks and tubes to breathe. +Tom and Anna are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big tree with many leaves. They wonder what is inside the tree. + +"Let's go and look," Tom says. + +"OK," Anna says. + +They walk to the tree and see a hole. They peek inside the hole and see a bird. The bird has a nest with eggs. The bird looks at them and makes a noise. + +"Hello, bird," Tom says. + +"Shoo, shoo," the bird says. + +Tom and Anna are scared. They do not understand the bird. + +"Why is the bird angry?" Anna asks. + +"Maybe the bird thinks we want to take the eggs," Tom says. + +"We don't want to take the eggs," Anna says. "We just want to see." + +They are honest. They do not want to hurt the bird or the eggs. + +"Sorry, bird," Tom says. "We will go now." + +"Thank you," the bird says. + +Tom and Anna leave the tree. They are happy. They have seen something new. They have learned to be kind to the bird. They have been good friends. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They saw a big slide and wanted to go on it. But there was a problem. A mean boy was sitting on the top of the slide and did not let anyone else go on it. He said he had the power of the slide and no one could take it from him. + +Lily and Ben were sad and scared. They did not know what to do. They wanted to have fun on the slide, but they did not want to fight with the mean boy. They sat on a bench and whispered to each other. + +"Maybe we can wait until he goes away," Lily whispered. + +"Maybe we can ask him nicely to share," Ben whispered. + +"Maybe we can make him laugh and be friends," Lily whispered. + +They thought of different ideas, but none of them seemed to work. The mean boy was still on the slide and did not care about anyone else. + +Then they saw something funny. A big dog came running to the park. The dog was clumsy and did not watch where he was going. He bumped into the mean boy and made him fall off the slide. The mean boy was not hurt, but he was very angry and scared. He ran away from the dog and the slide. + +Lily and Ben smiled and cheered. They thanked the dog and gave him a hug. Then they ran to the slide and took turns going on it. They had a lot of fun and felt happy. They learned that sometimes power is not as important as kindness and friendship. +Once upon a time, there was a little bunny named Benny. Benny loved to play outside in the sunshine, but today was gloomy and gray. Benny didn't feel like playing, so he went to his burrow to take a nap. + +As he was dozing off, he heard a noise outside. He peeked out and saw a little bird named Billy. "Hi, Benny!" chirped Billy. "Can I come in and play?" + +Benny thought for a moment and then said, "Sure, but first you have to answer a question. What is your favorite food?" + +Billy thought for a moment and then said, "Worms! I love worms!" + +Benny laughed and said, "Okay, you can come in and play." They played together for a while, but then Benny heard another noise outside. "Uh oh, I think it's time for me to escape," said Billy. "Thanks for playing with me, Benny!" + +Benny waved goodbye and went back to his nap, feeling happy that he had made a new friend. +Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Timmy.

Timmy was sad because he didn't receive his new toy. When they got home, Timmy went to bed and fell asleep. He dreamed about his new toy, but when he woke up, he realized it was just a dream.

Timmy was curious and asked his mom, "Mommy, why is that man bald?" His mom replied, "Some people just don't have hair, Timmy." + +Timmy continued to clean, but he couldn't stop looking out the window. He saw a bird fly by and said, "Mommy, watch the bird!"

The squirrels were worried about their home in the tree, and Tweetie knew she had to help. + +She flew to the tree and used her beak to poke and prod until she made a cozy little nest for the squirrels. They were so grateful and thanked Tweetie for her kindness.

She missed her friends and the joy of making delicious meals. One day, a kind man came to her door and offered to fix her stove for free. The lady was so grateful and happy that she cried tears of joy. From that day on, she was able to cook again and invite her friends over for dinner. +Once upon a time, there was a big train made of steel. It had many wagons and it liked to travel far and wide. One day, the train stopped at a station and the conductor said, "We need to separate some of the wagons because they are too heavy and foolish to keep going." + +So, the train separated into two parts. One part had the heavy wagons and the other had the lighter ones. The heavy wagons were made of steel and they were too much for the train to carry. The lighter wagons were easier to carry and the train could go faster. + +After the separation, the train continued its journey and it was much happier.
