He stopped to look at it and noticed a large fat fish swimming in the water. The bear was feeling brave so he take the fish and ate it. The bear was now full, so he slowly made is way back home.

They lined up in a row and started to march. One of the frogs, named Terry, was very ignorant and he stepped on a lime. Terry felt a strange sensation in his webbed foot, so he hopped and skipped around the pond. He was so ignorant that he had no idea what the lime would do. + +Eventually, Terry's foot started to get bigger and bigger, causing the other frogs to laugh and tease Terry. He hopped away feeling embarrassed. Suddenly, Terry's foot burst into a bright yellow colour and he could see the lime inside of him. + +The other frogs crowded around him and told Terry that the lime inside his foot would help him to march better. Terry was surprised and delighted to find that he could now march with the other frogs. He was no longer ignorant and soon he was marching around the pond with the other frogs. + +The other frogs and Terry were so happy that they decided to march everywhere they went, and they still do to this day. +Once upon a time there was a little boy who wanted to play.

Jake remembered his favorite thing - mints! He quickly returned to his desk and started to work. + +When he was finished, his mom gave him one mint and a big smile. He was so happy! With one hand he held the sweet treat and with the other he waved goodbye to his mom. Outside, he played and laughed with his friends all day. + +At the end of the day, he returned home.

Dad felt relieved but still a bit sad. + +Mom said, "It's okay. Everyone makes mistakes. Just make sure you remember the oil next time!" + +Dad smiled and finished washing the dishes. From then on, Dad never forgot to put the oil on the pan again. +Once upon a time, there was a car with an engine. It was small and red, and it was all alone. It was feeling a bit sad and grumpy. + +One day, the car thought of something fun. It decided to take a bath! So it drove to a big object filled with water. The car drove in and out, splashing and having a lot of fun. + +Afterwards, the car was feeling much better. It felt happy and sparkly! It even had a funny feeling, like it was lighter than before. The car was so glad it had taken a bath - it was the best day ever! +Anna and Ben were friends who liked to play with blocks. They built houses, towers, bridges and cars with their blocks. One day, they found a big box of nails in the garage. They wondered what they could do with them. + +"Let's use the nails to make our blocks stronger," Ben said. "We can hammer them into the blocks and make them stick together." + +"That sounds fun," Anna said. "But how do we hammer them? We don't have a hammer." + +Ben looked around and saw a big rock. He picked it up and said, "This can be our hammer. It is heavy and hard. It can hit the nails." + +Anna nodded and took a nail. She put it on a block and held it with her fingers. Ben lifted the rock and swung it down. But he missed the nail and hit Anna's finger instead. Anna cried out in pain and dropped the nail and the block. + +"Ow, ow, ow! You hurt me, Ben! You are mean!" Anna said, holding her finger. + +"I'm sorry, Anna! I didn't mean to hurt you! I was trying to hit the nail!" Ben said, feeling sorry and scared. + +They heard a voice from the house. It was Mom. She heard Anna's cry and came to see what happened. She saw Anna's finger bleeding and Ben's rock. She understood what they were doing and shook her head. + +"Anna, Ben, what are you doing with the nails and the rock? You know you are not supposed to play with them. They are dangerous. You could hurt yourself or someone else. Come here, let me see your finger, Anna. And you, Ben, put down that rock and come with me. We need to talk." + +Mom took Anna and Ben to the house. She cleaned Anna's finger and put a band-aid on it. She hugged Anna and said, "I'm glad you are okay, Anna. But you should not play with nails. They are sharp and can make holes in your skin. They are not toys. They are for grown-ups who know how to use them." + +She turned to Ben and said, "And you, Ben, you should not use a rock as a hammer. It is too heavy and hard. It can break things or hurt people. You should be careful and gentle when you play with your friends. You should not weigh them down with your rock. You should lift them up with your words." + +Ben looked down and said, "I'm sorry, Mom. I'm sorry, Anna. I was trying to make our blocks stronger. I didn't want to hurt Anna. I wanted to help her." + +Mom smiled and said, "I know, Ben. You have a good heart. But you need to use your head too. You need to think before you act. You need to ask before you use something that is not yours. You need to listen before you speak. And you need to be kind before you are strong." + +Anna and Ben nodded and said, "We understand, Mom. We will be more careful and kind next time. We will not play with nails and rocks anymore. We will play with blocks and toys." + +Mom hugged them and said, "That's good, my loves. I'm proud of you. Now, why don't you go and play with your blocks and toys in your room? And maybe you can make a card for Anna to say sorry and make her feel better." + +Anna and Ben smiled and said, "Okay, Mom. Thank you, Mom. We love you, Mom." + +They went to their room and played with their blocks and toys. They made a card for Anna with a picture of a flower and a heart. They wrote, "I'm sorry, Anna. You are my friend. I hope your finger is better. Love, Ben." + +Anna saw the card and smiled. She hugged Ben and said, "Thank you, Ben. You are my friend too. My finger is better. Love, Anna." + +They played happily and peacefully. They learned their lesson. They learned to be careful and kind. They learned to not weigh each other down, but to lift each other up. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. Lily had a big jet that made noises and lights. Ben had a small car that was quiet and dull. Lily liked her jet very much and did not want to share it with Ben. + +"Can I play with your jet, Lily?" Ben asked. "My car is boring." + +"No, you can't!" Lily said. "This is my jet and it is only for me. You have your own toy. Go away!" + +Ben felt sad and angry. He thought Lily was selfish and mean. He wanted to play with the jet too. He did not like his car anymore. + +"Please, Lily, let me play with your jet for a little while. I will be careful and nice. We can take turns," Ben said. + +"No, no, no!" Lily shouted. "This is my jet and it is only for me. You are not my friend. Go away!" + +Ben started to cry. He did not understand why Lily was so selfish and mean. He wished he had a friend who would share and play with him. + +Mom heard Ben crying and came to the living room. She saw Lily and Ben and their toys. She knew what was wrong. + +"Lily, why are you making Ben cry?" Mom asked. "What are you doing with your jet?" + +"I am playing with my jet, Mom. It is mine and I don't want to share it with Ben. He has his own toy. He is bothering me," Lily said. + +Mom shook her head. She was not happy with Lily. She wanted Lily to be kind and generous. + +"Lily, that is not nice. You are being selfish and mean. You should share your toys with Ben. He is your brother and he wants to play with you. Playing with your jet is more fun when you include Ben. Sharing is caring, Lily. Do you understand?" Mom said. + +Lily looked at Mom and then at Ben. She saw Ben's tears and his sad face. She felt sorry for him. She realized she was being selfish and mean. She did not want to make Ben cry. She wanted to make him happy. She wanted to be his friend. + +"I understand, Mom. I am sorry, Ben. I was selfish and mean. You can play with my jet, Ben. We can take turns. We can play together. You are my friend, Ben. Do you want to play with me?"

They are eager to go inside the tube. + +"Let's go in the tube!" Lily says. "It looks fun!" + +"OK!" Ben says. "But we have to hold hands. The tube is dark inside." + +They hold hands and run to the tube. They go inside the tube. It is dark and cool. They hear their voices echo in the tube. + +"Hello, hello, hello!" Lily shouts. + +"Hello, hello, hello!" Ben shouts. + +They giggle and shout some more. They feel happy and brave in the tube. + +But then they hear a loud noise. It is a dog. It is barking outside the tube. It sounds angry and scary. + +"Uh-oh!" Lily says. "There is a dog outside!" + +"Uh-oh!" Ben says. "What do we do?" + +They are afraid of the dog. They do not want to go out of the tube. They hold hands tighter and stay in the tube. They hope the dog will go away. +Sara and Ben were playing with their blocks. They wanted to complete a big tower. They put one block on top of another, and another, and another. They were very careful not to make the tower fall. + +"Look, Sara, we almost did it!" Ben said. + +"Yes, Ben, we are very good at this!" Sara said. + +But then, they heard a loud bark. It was Rex, their chubby dog. He ran into the room, wagging his tail. He saw the tower and thought it was a toy. He jumped on it and knocked it down. The blocks went flying everywhere. + +"Rex, no!" Sara and Ben shouted. + +Rex looked at them with his big eyes. He did not understand why they were angry. He thought they wanted to play with him. He picked up a block in his mouth and ran away. + +Sara and Ben were sad. They worked hard on their tower. They did not want to play with Rex. They wanted to complete their tower. + +They looked around and saw their dad. He was sitting on the couch, reading a book. He had a leather jacket on. He liked leather. It was soft and warm. + +"Dad, can you help us?" Sara and Ben asked. + +"Sure, what happened?" Dad asked. + +"Rex ruined our tower. He took our block. We want to complete our tower. Can you get our block back?" Sara and Ben said. + +Dad smiled. He put down his book and got up. He saw Rex hiding under the table, chewing on the block. + +"Rex, come here. Give me the block. It's not yours. It's Sara and Ben's. They need it to complete their tower." Dad said. + +Rex wagged his tail. He liked Dad. He dropped the block and ran to Dad. He licked his face. + +"Good boy, Rex. Now, go play with your bone. Leave the blocks alone." Dad said. + +He gave the block to Sara and Ben. They thanked him and hugged him. They went back to their blocks. They started to build their tower again. They hoped to complete it this time. They hoped Rex would not bother them again. They were happy. +Tom and Sam are brothers. They like to play with their toy cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. But their favorite car is a big black metal car. It can make loud noises and go very fast. + +One day, they are playing with their car in the yard. They pretend they are racing on a road. They make vroom-vroom sounds and laugh. But then, the car hits a rock and breaks. The wheel falls off and the car stops. Tom and Sam are sad. They love their car. + +They run to their dad and show him the broken car. They ask him to help them. Dad is good at fixing things. He takes the car and the wheel and goes to his workshop. He tells Tom and Sam to wait for him. + +Dad has many tools in his workshop.

Lily and Ben were very excited, because they had never been on a plane before. + +They packed their bags, hugged their mom and dad, and got in the car. They drove to the airport, where they saw many people and planes. They gave their tickets to a lady, who smiled and said, "Have a nice trip!" They boarded the plane, and found their seats. They buckled their seatbelts, and listened to the pilot. He said, "Welcome aboard, we are flying to Canada, where it is very icy and snowy. Please enjoy your flight!" + +Lily and Ben looked out the window, and saw the clouds and the sky. They felt the plane go up and down, and heard the engine roar. They ate some snacks, played some games, and took a nap. After a long time, the pilot said, "We are about to land, please stay in your seats and look at the beautiful scenery." Lily and Ben woke up, and looked out the window again. They saw mountains and lakes, and lots of white. They realized it was snow, and they gasped. + +"Wow, look at all the snow!" Lily said. + +"It's so pretty and shiny!" Ben said. + +They landed, and got off the plane. They felt the cold air, and shivered. They put on their coats, hats, and gloves.

They saw a moose, a bear, and a beaver. They learned their names, and how they lived in the cold. They arrived at their house, which was cozy and warm. They had some hot chocolate, and some cookies. They talked and laughed, and felt happy. + +Lily and Ben learned that even though their grandma and grandpa lived in a different country, they loved them very much. They also learned that there were many things to see and do in the icy country, and that they could have fun and make memories. They thanked their grandma and grandpa for inviting them, and said they wanted to come back again. They learned that the world was big and beautiful, and that they could recognize their family and friends, no matter where they were. +Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. The park has a big lake. In the lake, there is a small island. The island has trees and flowers. + +One day, Sara and Tom go to the park with their moms. They see a boat near the lake. The boat is bright red. Sara and Tom want to go to the island. + +"Mom, can we go to the island?" Sara asks. + +"Mom, can we go to the island?" Tom asks. + +The moms look at each other.

One day, they saw a big boat on the water. It looked like a pirate ship. They wanted to see it closer. + +"Let's swim to the boat," Tom said. "Maybe we can find treasure." + +"No, Tom, that's too far and too dangerous," Sam said. "We don't know who is on the boat. They might be bad people. And the water might be deep and cold. We should stay on the shore." + +But Tom did not listen to Sam. He was brave, but also foolish. He jumped into the water and started to swim to the boat. Sam watched him with worry. + +Soon, Tom realized that he had made a mistake. The boat was farther than he thought. The water was deeper and colder than he expected. And he saw some men on the boat who looked angry and scary. They had swords and guns and shouted at him. + +"Help, help!" Tom cried. "I want to go back to the shore!" + +Sam heard his brother's cry. He was brave, but also smart. He ran to the shore and looked for help. He saw a man with a fishing rod. He told him what had happened. + +"Please, sir, can you help my brother?" Sam said. "He is in the water and he is in trouble. There is a bad boat with bad people." + +The man with the fishing rod was kind and brave. He took his boat and went to rescue Tom. He reached him just in time, before the bad people could catch him. He brought him back to the shore, where Sam hugged him. + +"Thank you, sir, thank you!" Sam said. "You saved my brother!" + +"You're welcome, son," the man said. "But you should also thank your brother. He was brave to swim to the boat, but he was also brave to call for help. And you were brave and smart to look for help. You are both good boys, but you should also be careful. The shore is a fun place to play, but the water can be dangerous. Always stay close to the shore and listen to each other." + +Tom and Sam learned their lesson. They thanked the man again and went home with their mother. They never swam to the boat again. They still played near the shore, but they always stayed safe and happy. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a bucket and a shovel.

The girl puts the leash and the collar on the dog. The girl pulls the dog away. + +"I'm sorry, kids," the girl says. "My dog is naughty. He likes to play with everything. He did not mean to hurt your castle." + +Anna and Ben stop crying. They look at the girl and the dog. + +"It's okay," Anna says. "We know he is just a dog. He does not know better." + +"Yes, it's okay," Ben says. "But we are still sad. We worked hard on our castle." + +The girl feels sorry. She wants to make them happy. + +"I have an idea," the girl says. "Why don't you come with me? I have some cookies in my bag. They are sweet and yummy. You can have some, if you want." + +Anna and Ben smile. They like cookies. They are sweet and yummy. + +"Okay," Anna says. "Thank you, girl. You are nice and kind." + +"Yes, thank you, girl," Ben says. "You are nice and kind, too." + +The girl smiles. She likes Anna and Ben. They are nice and kind, too. + +They walk together to a bench. They sit down. They share the cookies. They talk and laugh. + +The dog sits next to them. He is calm and quiet. He does not jump or break anything. + +They are all happy. They are all friends. +Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play with dolls and cars and books. They also liked to learn new words. They knew words in their own language and in other languages too. They thought learning languages was amazing. + +One day, they went to the park with their moms. They saw some kids playing on the swings and slides. They wanted to join them and make new friends. But when they said hello, the kids did not understand them. They spoke a different language. They looked at Lily and Ben and laughed. They said mean words. Lily and Ben felt sad and scared. + +They ran back to their moms and hugged them. Their moms comforted them and said, "Don't worry, my loves. You are smart and kind and brave. You can learn any language you want. And you can find friends who like you for who you are. Those kids were not nice. They don't know how to be friendly." + +Lily and Ben nodded and smiled. They felt better. They thanked their moms and said, "We love you, mommy. You are the best." They decided to play with each other and with their toys. They also decided to keep learning languages. They knew languages were amazing. And they knew they were amazing too. +Ben and Lily were playing with magnets. They liked to stick them on the fridge and make shapes. Ben had a big magnet and Lily had a small one. Ben wanted to measure how strong his magnet was. + +"Look, Lily, my magnet is hard and big. It can hold many things. How many things can your magnet hold?" Ben asked. + +Lily did not know. She tried to stick her magnet on a spoon, but it fell off. She tried to stick it on a paper clip, but it was too weak. She felt sad. + +"Your magnet is soft and small. It is not good. My magnet is better. Give me your magnet. I want to have two magnets," Ben said. He grabbed Lily's magnet and pulled it away. + +Lily cried. She wanted her magnet back. She tried to get it from Ben, but he was stronger. They started to fight. They pulled and pushed and shouted. + +Mom heard the noise and came to see what was wrong. She saw Ben and Lily fighting over the magnets. She was angry. + +"Ben, Lily, stop it! Why are you fighting? Magnets are for sharing, not for taking. You are being selfish and mean. Give Lily her magnet back. Now!" Mom said. + +Ben did not listen. He held on to the magnets. He thought he was smarter and stronger than Lily. He did not care about her feelings. + +Mom had enough. She took the magnets from Ben and put them in a drawer. She said they could not play with them anymore. She said they had to go to their rooms and think about what they did. + +Ben and Lily were sad. They lost their magnets and their fun. They wished they had been nice and fair. They learned that being greedy and rude does not pay. +One day, Lily and Tom went to the park with their mom. They saw a big tent with many colors. Mom said, "That is a circus. They have animals and clowns and tricks. Do you want to see?" + +Lily and Tom nodded and clapped. They were very excited. Mom bought tickets and they went inside the tent. They found seats and waited for the show to start. + +Soon, a man with a loud voice said, "Welcome to the circus! Are you ready to have fun?" The crowd cheered and clapped. The man said, "First, we have a lion who can perform amazing jumps. Watch and see!" + +A big cage rolled out with a lion inside. The lion had a mane and a tail and sharp teeth. He looked grumpy and bored. He did not want to jump. The man with the loud voice tried to make him jump with a stick and a hoop. But the lion just growled and lay down. + +The crowd booed and hissed. The man with the loud voice said, "Sorry, folks. The lion is not in the mood today. Let's move on to the next act. How about a monkey who can ride a bike?" + +A small cage rolled out with a monkey inside. The monkey had a hat and a shirt and a bike. He looked happy and smart. He wanted to ride. He jumped out of the cage and got on the bike. He pedaled and balanced and waved. He even did a wheelie. + +The crowd cheered and clapped. The monkey smiled and bowed. The man with the loud voice said, "Wow, what a great performance! Give it up for the monkey!" + +Lily and Tom loved the monkey. They laughed and clapped. They forgot about the grumpy lion. They wanted to see more of the circus. They had a lot of fun. +Tom and Mia are twins. They like to play in their room. They have many toys and books and a big bed. Sometimes they make a tent with their blanket. They put the blanket over the bed and use chairs to hold it. Then they go inside the tent and pretend they are in a forest or a castle. + +One day, they hear a loud noise outside. They look out the window and see a big truck. The truck is making holes in the ground. It is very noisy and dirty. Tom and Mia are scared. They think the truck is dangerous. They run to their tent and hide under the blanket. They hug each other and hope the truck will go away. + +But the truck does not go away. It comes closer and closer to their house. The ground starts to shake. The chairs start to fall. The blanket starts to slide. Tom and Mia scream. They think the truck will break their house and their tent. They want their mom and dad to come and save them. + +But mom and dad are not home. They are at work. They do not know about the truck and the holes and the shaking. They do not hear Tom and Mia scream. They do not see the blanket fall. + +But someone else does. It is Rex, their dog. Rex is big and furry and friendly. He loves Tom and Mia. He hears them scream and sees the blanket fall. He runs to their room and barks. He tries to move the chairs and the blanket. He wants to help Tom and Mia. He is not afraid of the truck. He is brave and strong. + +Rex manages to lift the blanket and the chairs. He sees Tom and Mia under the bed. They are crying and shaking. He licks their faces and wags his tail. He tells them it is okay. He tells them he is here. He tells them he loves them. Tom and Mia stop crying and shaking. They hug Rex and thank him. They tell him he is a good dog. They tell him they love him too. + +The truck stops making holes. It turns around and leaves. The noise and the dirt and the shaking stop. The house is quiet and safe again. Tom and Mia and Rex come out of the room. They look for mom and dad. They see a note on the fridge. It says: "We will be home soon. Love, mom and dad." They smile and wait. They are happy. They have each other. They have Rex. They have their blanket. They do not need a tent. They have a home. +Tom and Lily were playing with their toy cars on the floor. They made loud noises and pretended to race each other. Lily had a red car and Tom had a blue car. + +"Vroom, vroom, I'm faster than you!" Lily said. + +"No, you're not, I'm faster than you!" Tom said. + +They zoomed their cars around the room, bumping into each other and the furniture. They had a lot of fun. + +But then, Tom saw something shiny on the table. It was a jar of salt. He liked shiny things. He left his car and climbed on a chair to reach the jar. + +"What are you doing, Tom?" Lily asked. + +"I want to see this shiny thing. It looks brilliant!" Tom said. + +He opened the jar and poured some salt on his hand. It felt like tiny rocks. He wondered what it tasted like. He licked his hand. + +"Yuck!" Tom said. "This is not good. It is very salty. It makes me thirsty." + +He made a face and spat out the salt. He wanted some water. + +"Tom, you're silly. That's not for eating. That's for cooking. Quit playing with the salt and come back to the cars!" Lily said. + +She was still holding her red car. She liked playing with the cars more than the salt. + +"Okay, okay, I'm coming. The salt is not fun. The cars are fun. Let's play some more!" Tom said. + +He put the jar back on the table and climbed down from the chair. He picked up his blue car and joined Lily on the floor. + +They smiled at each other and resumed their race. They forgot about the salt and had a brilliant time. +Lily and Ben like to draw with crayons. They have many colors and papers. They make pictures of animals, flowers, cars and houses. Sometimes they show their pictures to mom and dad. + +One day, Lily draws a big green monster with six eyes, four arms and two tails. She thinks it is funny and scary. She shows it to Ben and says, "Look at my monster! Do you like it?" + +Ben looks at the monster and makes a face. He does not like it. He thinks it is weird and ugly. He says, "No, I don't like it. It is too weird. Why do you draw a monster like that?" + +Lily feels sad. She likes her monster. She says, "I like it. It is different and fun. I want to make a print of it and hang it on the wall." + +Ben shakes his head. He does not want to see the monster on the wall. He says, "No, don't do that. Mom and dad will not like it either. They will think it is weird too. You should draw something else. Something nice and pretty. Like a butterfly or a rainbow. I recommend you draw a butterfly or a rainbow." + +Lily thinks for a moment. She likes butterflies and rainbows too. But she also likes her monster. She says, "I can draw both. I can draw a butterfly and a rainbow on another paper. And I can keep my monster on this paper. I can make a print of both and hang them on the wall. Then I can have both. Do you think that is a good idea?" + +Ben thinks for a moment too. He still does not like the monster. But he likes Lily. He does not want to make her sad. He says, "OK, I guess that is a good idea. You can have both. But I like the butterfly and the rainbow better. Can I have a print of them too?" + +Lily smiles. She says, "Sure, you can have a print of them too. We can share our pictures. We can make prints of all our pictures and hang them on the wall. Then we can have a colorful and fun wall. Do you think mom and dad will like it?" + +Ben nods. He says, "Yes, I think they will like it. They will like our pictures. They will like that we are creative and happy. They will be proud of us." + +Lily and Ben hug. They are happy. They go to mom and dad and show them their pictures. Mom and dad smile. They like their pictures. They like that they are creative and happy. They are proud of them. They help them make prints and hang them on the wall. They have a colorful and fun wall. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play together. They had a big box of toys that they shared. But sometimes they wanted different toys and they fought. + +One day, they found a mysterious toy in the box. It was a shiny ball that changed colors when they touched it. Lily and Ben both wanted the ball. They grabbed it and pulled it hard. + +"Let go! It's mine!" Lily shouted. + +"No, it's mine!" Ben shouted back. + +They pulled and pulled until the ball split in two. They each held a half of the ball in their palm. But the ball was not shiny anymore. It was dull and gray. + +They looked at each other and felt sad. They had broken their new toy. They wished they had not fought. + +They hugged and said sorry. They decided to separate their toys into two piles. One pile for Lily and one pile for Ben. They agreed to share and take turns. They put the two halves of the ball together and hoped it would be shiny again. They learned to play nicely. +Anna loves to play with her colorful purse. She puts her toys and books inside and pretends to go shopping. Sometimes she lets her little brother Tom play with her purse too, but only if he is nice. + +One day, Anna decides to teach Tom how to use her purse. She says, "Tom, this is my purse. It is colorful and pretty. You can put things inside and close the zipper. Do you want to try?" + +Tom nods and takes the purse from Anna. He opens the zipper and looks inside. He sees a teddy bear, a ball, and a crayon. He picks up the crayon and says, "I like this. It is blue. Can I draw with it?" + +Anna smiles and says, "Yes, you can draw with it. But you have to be careful. Do not draw on the walls or the floor. Only draw on paper. I will show you how." She takes a piece of paper from her book and gives it to Tom. She takes another crayon and says, "Look, I can draw a flower. It has a circle and some petals. Do you want to draw a flower too?" + +Tom nods and tries to copy Anna. He draws a circle and some lines. He says, "This is my flower. It is not very good. But I like it." + +Anna hugs Tom and says, "Your flower is very good. I like it too. You are a good learner. I like to teach you. Do you want to learn more things with me?" + +Tom hugs Anna back and says, "Yes, I want to learn more things with you. You are a good teacher. I like to play with you. And I like your purse. It is colorful and fun." +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big pond with ducks. They want to feed the ducks. + +"Look, Ben, ducks!" Lily says. "Let's give them some bread." + +"OK, Lily, but be careful. The pond is wet and deep," Ben says. + +They find some bread in their bags and break it into small pieces. They walk to the edge of the pond and throw the bread to the ducks. The ducks swim to the bread and eat it. They make loud noises. + +"Quack, quack, quack!" the ducks say. + +Lily and Ben laugh. They try to call the ducks. + +"Come here, ducks! We have more bread for you!" Lily says. + +"Hello, ducks! You are so cute and fluffy!" Ben says. + +The ducks like Lily and Ben. They swim closer to them. They form a row in the water. They look at Lily and Ben with their round eyes. + +"Wow, they are in a row! How clever!" Lily says. + +"Yes, they are very smart! And friendly!" Ben says. + +They give the ducks more bread. They have fun with the ducks. They are happy. +Lily and Max were best friends. They liked to play in the park and share their snacks. One day, Lily brought some celery to the park. She liked celery because it was crunchy and green. + +"Look, Max, I have celery. Do you want some?" Lily asked. + +Max looked at the celery and made a face. He did not like celery. He thought it was bitter and boring. + +"No, thank you, Lily. I have something better. I have a fancy cookie. It has chocolate and sprinkles and sugar. It is yummy and sweet. Do you want some?" Max said. + +Lily looked at the cookie and felt curious. She had never had a fancy cookie before. It looked tasty and fun. + +"Yes, please, Max. I want some of your cookie. Can we trade?" Lily said. + +Max nodded and smiled. He took the celery from Lily and gave her the cookie. He thought he had made a good deal. He bit into the celery and spit it out. He did not like it at all. He felt angry and sad. + +"Lily, this celery is awful. I don't want it. Give me back my cookie!" Max said. + +Lily had already eaten half of the cookie. She liked it very much. She felt happy and full. + +"Sorry, Max. We traded. You can't have your cookie back. You should have tried the celery first. Maybe you would have liked it. It is good for you. It makes you strong and healthy. The cookie is not good for you. It makes you sick and tired. You should not eat too much of it." Lily said. + +Max realized that Lily was right. He had been greedy and rude. He had not given the celery a chance. He had not been a good friend. He felt sorry and ashamed. + +"Lily, I'm sorry. You are right. I was greedy and rude. I did not give the celery a chance. I was not a good friend. Can you forgive me?" Max said. + +Lily saw that Max was sorry. She felt sorry for him too. She was a good friend. She wanted to share with him. + +"Of course, Max. I forgive you. You are my best friend. Here, you can have the rest of my cookie. And I will have some of your celery. Maybe we can both learn to like new things. That is what friends do. They help each other and share with each other." Lily said. + +Max and Lily hugged and smiled. They ate their snacks and played in the park. They learned a lesson. They learned to be open-minded and generous. They learned to speak nicely and listen well. They learned to be good friends. +Sara and Ben were playing in the kitchen. They liked to pretend they were chefs and make yummy food. Sara was stirring a pot of soup on the stove. Ben was cutting some bread on the counter. They were having fun. + +But then, Ben saw a big cake on the table. It was Mom's birthday cake. It had pink frosting and sprinkles. Ben wanted a taste. He climbed on a chair and reached for the cake. He did not see the knife on the edge of the counter. + +The knife fell down and hit Ben's foot. Ben cried out loud. He stumbled and knocked over the cake. The cake landed in the sink. It made a big mess. + +Sara heard Ben's cry. She ran to help him. She saw the cake in the sink. She saw the knife on the floor. She saw the blood on Ben's foot. She was scared and sad. + +She hugged Ben and said, "I'm sorry, Ben. Are you okay?" She got a towel and wrapped it around his foot. She was thoughtful and brave. + +Mom heard the noise and came to the kitchen. She saw Sara and Ben. She saw the cake in the sink. She saw the knife on the floor. She saw the blood on the towel. She was shocked and worried. + +She hugged Sara and Ben and said, "What happened here?" She took Ben to the bathroom and cleaned his wound. She put a band-aid on it. She was gentle and kind. + +She came back to the kitchen and saw Sara. Sara was crying. She said, "I'm sorry, Mom. We ruined your cake. We were playing and Ben wanted a taste. He got hurt and the cake fell in the sink. We didn't mean to." + +Mom smiled and said, "It's okay, Sara. I'm glad you and Ben are okay. The cake is not important. You are important. You were thoughtful and brave to help Ben. I'm proud of you." + +She hugged Sara and said, "Happy birthday to me. I have the best kids in the world." She kissed Sara and Ben and said, "Let's go and have some ice cream instead. How does that sound?" + +Sara and Ben smiled and said, "Yes, please. We love you, Mom." They followed Mom to the freezer. They forgot about the cake in the sink. They were happy. +Ben and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big ice cream truck. The truck has many colors and sounds. + +"Can we have ice cream, please?" Ben asks his mom. + +"Me too, me too!" Mia says to her dad. + +"OK, but only one each, and you have to be polite and say thank you," their parents say. + +Ben and Mia run to the truck. They see many flavors of ice cream. Ben picks chocolate. Mia picks strawberry. The ice cream man gives them cones. + +"Thank you, sir!" Ben and Mia say. + +"You're welcome, kids. Enjoy your ice cream," the ice cream man says. + +Ben and Mia lick their ice cream. It is sweet and cold. They smile and giggle. + +"Yummy, yummy!" Ben says. + +"Delicious, delicious!" Mia says. + +They sit on a bench and eat their ice cream. They share bites and talk about their favorite games. They are happy and polite. They finish their ice cream and throw away their cones. + +"Let's go play on the swings!" Ben says. + +"OK, let's go!" Mia says. + +They hold hands and run to the swings. They have fun in the park. They are good friends. +Lily was a curious girl who liked to draw with her crayons. She had many colors and shapes to make on her paper. She was happy when she made a mark that looked like a flower or a star. + +One day, she saw a big book on the shelf. It had many pictures and words inside. Lily wanted to see what was in the book. She climbed on a chair and took the book down. She opened it and saw a picture of a castle. She thought it was pretty, but it needed more colors. + +She took her crayons and started to draw on the picture. She made a mark that looked like a sun and a mark that looked like a cloud. She made more marks on the other pages. She thought she was making the book more beautiful. + +But then, her mom came in and saw what she had done. She was angry and sad. She said, "Lily, what have you done? You have spoiled the book! This book was very special to me. It was a gift from your grandma. You should not draw on books that are not yours. You should ask before you touch anything that belongs to someone else." + +Lily felt sorry and scared. She did not mean to spoil the book. She did not know it was special to her mom. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I just wanted to make the book more pretty. I like to draw with my crayons. I was curious about the book." + +Her mom sighed and hugged her. She said, "I know you like to draw, and I know you were curious. But you have to be careful and respectful of other people's things. You have to learn to ask before you take something that is not yours. And you have to learn to use your crayons only on your own paper. Do you understand?" + +Lily nodded and said, "Yes, mom. I understand. I will not draw on books again. I will ask before I touch anything. I will use my crayons only on my paper. I'm sorry I spoiled your book. Can you forgive me?" + +Her mom smiled and said, "Of course I forgive you, Lily. You are my sweet girl. But you have to promise me you will not do this again. And you have to help me fix the book. Maybe we can find some stickers or tape to cover the marks. Will you help me?" + +Lily said, "Yes, mom. I will help you. I love you, mom." + +Her mom said, "I love you too, Lily. Come on, let's go and find some stickers and tape." + +The moral value of the story is: You should respect other people's things and ask before you touch them. You should also be careful with your crayons and use them only on your own paper. And you should apologize and try to fix your mistakes if you spoil something. +Tim and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big gray animal with a long nose. It was an elephant. The elephant was drinking water from a pond. + +"Look, Lily, the elephant can spray water with its nose. That is its trunk. Let's go closer and see," Tim said. + +"OK, Tim, but be careful. The elephant is very big and strong. It can hurt us with its trunk or its feet," Lily said. + +They walked slowly towards the elephant. The elephant saw them and lifted its trunk. It made a loud noise. It was angry. + +"Tim, Lily, run away! The elephant is mad. It will spray us with water or hit us with its trunk," a man shouted. He was a zookeeper. He tried to calm the elephant down. + +But Tim and Lily did not listen. They wanted to touch the elephant. They thought it was fun. They ran to the elephant and reached for its trunk. + +The elephant did not like that. It sprayed water at them with its trunk. The water was hard and cold. It hurt their eyes and mouths. They cried and coughed. + +Then the elephant swung its trunk and hit them with it. The trunk was hard and heavy. It knocked them down. They felt pain and fear. + +The zookeeper ran to them and picked them up. He took them to a safe place. He called for help. He was angry and sad. + +"Tim, Lily, you are very naughty and foolish. You did not listen to me or the elephant. You made the elephant angry and scared. You could have died. You are lucky to be alive. You need to go to the hospital and see a doctor. You will have bruises and cuts. You will not play in the park for a long time. You will be in trouble with your parents. You have learned a hard lesson today," he said. + +Tim and Lily were sorry and ashamed. They wished they had listened. They wished they had not played with the elephant. They wished they had a good ending. But they did not. They had a bad ending. +Anna and Ben were bored. It was a gloomy day and they could not go outside to play. They looked around the house for something fun to do. + +"Look, Ben, I found some paper and tape!" Anna said. She held up a roll of paper with colorful dots on it. "It is print paper. We can use it to wrap things!" + +"Wrap things? Like what?" Ben asked. He was curious. + +"Like anything! We can wrap our toys, or our books, or our pillows, or our clothes!" Anna said. She was excited. "It will be like a surprise game. We can wrap something and then guess what it is!" + +"OK, that sounds fun!" Ben agreed. He took the paper and tape from Anna and looked for something to wrap. He saw his teddy bear on the couch and decided to wrap it. + +Anna watched him and smiled. She thought of something else to wrap. She saw a banana on the table and grabbed it. She wrapped it with the paper and tape. + +"Look, Ben, I wrapped something too!" Anna said. She showed him the wrapped banana. + +"What is it?" Ben asked. He tried to guess. + +"Is it a car?" + +"No." + +"Is it a ball?" + +"No." + +"Is it a snake?" + +"No, silly! It is a banana!" Anna said. She peeled off the paper and tape and revealed the yellow fruit. + +"Wow, you tricked me!" Ben said. He laughed. He gave Anna his wrapped teddy bear. "Can you guess what I wrapped?" + +Anna took the wrapped teddy bear and felt it. She guessed. + +"Is it a book?" + +"No." + +"Is it a pillow?" + +"No." + +"Is it a teddy bear?" + +"Yes, you got it!" Ben said. He unwrapped the teddy bear and hugged it. + +"Yay, I guessed right!" Anna said. She hugged the banana. + +They both laughed and clapped. They decided to wrap more things and play the surprise game. They had fun and forgot about the gloomy day. +Lily and Tom are twins. They like to play and have fun. But today, they have to go to a lecture with Mom and Dad. A lecture is when a person talks a lot and other people listen. Lily and Tom do not like lectures. They think they are boring. + +Mom and Dad give Lily and Tom some snacks and toys to keep them quiet. They say, "Be good and listen to the lecture. It is about animals and plants. You like animals and plants, right?" Lily and Tom nod, but they are not happy. + +The lecture starts. The person talks about lions and tigers and bears. He shows pictures and makes sounds. Lily and Tom look at the pictures and try to make sounds too. But they are too loud. Mom and Dad say, "Shh, shh, you are disturbing the lecture. Be quiet, please." + +Lily and Tom are hungry. They eat their snacks. Lily has a cracker and Tom has a cookie. But Tom's cookie is spicy. It has pepper in it. Tom does not like spicy food. He makes a face and spits out the cookie. He says, "Yuck, yuck, this cookie is spicy. I do not like it." He cries and coughs. + +Mom and Dad are embarrassed. They say, "Sorry, sorry, we did not know the cookie was spicy. Tom, are you okay?" They give him some water and a hug. They say, "We are sorry, but we have to go. The lecture is not for us. We will go to the park instead. You like the park, right?" Lily and Tom nod, and they are happy. They say, "Yes, yes, we like the park. Let's go, let's go." They pack their snacks and toys and leave the lecture. They go to the park and have fun. +Lily was a dog who lived in a big house with her family. She liked to play with her toys, run in the yard, and cuddle with her humans. But sometimes, she felt itchy and scratchy. She had a flea on her fur, and it made her uncomfortable. + +One day, she saw a new toy on the floor. It was round and soft and squeaky. She wanted to play with it, but she was too itchy. She scratched her ear, her neck, and her tail. The flea laughed and jumped from one spot to another. + +"Ha ha, you can't catch me, silly dog!" the flea said. "I'm having so much fun on your fur!" + +Lily was annoyed. She tried to bite the flea, but it was too fast. She tried to shake it off, but it was too sticky. She tried to ignore it, but it was too noisy. + +"Please, leave me alone!" Lily said. "You are not a nice flea. You are a bad flea. You make me itchy and scratchy and unhappy." + +The flea did not care. It kept jumping and laughing and biting. Lily felt miserable. She wished she had a friend to help her. + +She looked around the house. She saw her humans, but they were busy. They had work and school and chores. They did not have time to play with her or check her fur. She saw her toys, but they were boring. They did not talk or move or squeak. They did not have fur or fleas. + +She saw a cat on the couch. It was fluffy and sleepy and snoring. It did not have fleas. It looked happy and cozy. + +Lily walked over to the cat. She hoped the cat would be her friend. She hoped the cat would share its couch and its fur and its happiness. She hoped the cat would help her get rid of the flea. + +She nudged the cat with her nose. The cat opened one eye and looked at her. It did not look happy. It looked annoyed. + +"What do you want, dog?" the cat said. "Can't you see I'm sleeping? Go away and leave me alone." + +Lily felt sad. She wanted to be friends with the cat, but the cat did not want to be friends with her. The cat did not care about her or her flea. + +She yawned. She was tired and itchy and lonely. She wished she had a friend who was available and nice and helpful. + +She turned around and walked away from the cat. She saw a new toy on the floor. It was round and soft and squeaky. She decided to play with it, even if she was itchy. Maybe it would make her feel better. Maybe it would make the flea go away. + +She picked up the toy with her mouth and shook it. It squeaked. She liked the sound. She wagged her tail. She felt a little happier. + +She did not notice the flea falling off her fur and landing on the couch. She did not notice the cat waking up and feeling a bite on its ear. She did not notice the flea laughing and jumping and saying: + +"Ha ha, you can't catch me, silly cat! I'm having so much fun on your fur!" +Lily liked to help her mom in the kitchen. She wanted to be a good cook like her mom. One day, her mom gave her a big white cauliflower and a small knife. She told Lily to cut the cauliflower into small pieces. + +Lily was very careful with the knife. She held it with both hands and cut the cauliflower slowly. She made a pile of small white pieces on the cutting board. She felt proud of her work. + +"Good job, Lily!" her mom said. "You are very thoughtful and helpful. Now we can make a yummy soup with the cauliflower and some cheese and milk." + +Lily smiled and hugged her mom. She loved her mom and her mom's soup. She asked her mom, "Can I help you stir the soup, too?" + +"Of course, you can, my sweetie," her mom said. "But first, let's wash our hands and the knife. We don't want any germs in our soup, do we?" + +Lily nodded and followed her mom to the sink. She washed her hands and the knife with soap and water. Then she dried them with a towel. She was ready to help her mom stir the soup and enjoy a warm and tasty lunch. +Ben and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. Ben had a big truck and Lily had a pair of scissors. Lily wanted to cut some paper, but she could not find any. She saw Ben's truck and had an idea. + +"Ben, can I cut your truck?" she asked. + +"No, you can't!" Ben said. "That's my truck! You will break it!" + +"But I want to cut something!" Lily said. "It's fun to cut!" + +She tried to grab the truck, but Ben held it tight. They started to pull and tug, and the truck made a loud noise. + +"Stop it!" Ben shouted. "You are hurting my truck!" + +"Give it to me!" Lily cried. "I want to cut it!" + +They were so busy fighting that they did not see the lamp on the table. The lamp was hot and bright, and it had a long cord. As they pulled the truck, they knocked the lamp over. The lamp fell on the floor and broke. The cord sparked and made a fire. The fire was very hot and scary. + +"Help!" Ben and Lily screamed. "Fire! Fire!" + +Mom and Dad heard them and ran to the living room. They saw the fire and grabbed a blanket. They threw the blanket on the fire and put it out. They were angry and worried. + +"What happened here?" Mom asked. "Why did you break the lamp and start a fire?" + +Ben and Lily looked at each other. They felt sorry and ashamed. They knew they did something bad. + +"We were fighting over the truck," Ben said. "Lily wanted to cut it, and I didn't let her." + +"That was very silly and dangerous," Dad said. "You could have hurt yourselves or the house. You should never play with scissors or fire. And you should never fight over toys. You should share and be nice to each other." + +Ben and Lily nodded. They said sorry to Mom and Dad, and to each other. They hugged and made up. They decided to play with something else, something that was not hard or hot or cut. They learned their lesson. +Anna and Ben are best friends. They like to play together every day. They share their toys, their snacks and their secrets. They help each other when they are sad or scared. They love each other very much. + +One day, Anna and Ben go to the park with their moms. They see a big slide, a swing, a sandbox and a merry-go-round. They are very happy and excited. They run to the slide and take turns to slide down. Whee! + +But then, Ben slips and falls. He hurts his knee and starts to cry. Anna runs to him and gives him a hug. She says, "Don't cry, Ben. I am here. You are brave. It will be okay." She kisses his knee and helps him stand up. + +Ben stops crying and smiles. He says, "Thank you, Anna. You are kind. You are my best friend. I am grateful for you." He hugs her back and kisses her cheek. + +Anna and Ben hold hands and go to their moms. They tell them what happened and show them their hugs and kisses. Their moms are proud of them and give them more hugs and kisses. They say, "We love you, Anna and Ben. You are good friends. You are grateful for each other." Anna and Ben nod and smile. They are happy and grateful. They love their moms and their best friend. +Lily was a furry cat who liked to play with her toys. She had a ball, a mouse, and a fish that made noises. She also liked to nap on the sofa and watch the birds outside the window. She was a happy cat. + +One day, Lily saw a new thing in the bathroom. It was white and shiny and smelled nice. Lily was curious and wanted to touch it. She jumped on the sink and poked the thing with her paw. It was soap! + +But the soap was slippery and it fell off the sink. It landed on the floor and broke into pieces. Lily was scared and ran away. She hid under the bed and hoped no one would find out. + +Mom came home and saw the mess in the bathroom. She was angry and looked for Lily. She found her under the bed and pulled her out. She scolded Lily and said she was a bad cat. She took her to the kitchen and washed her with water and soap. Lily hated water and soap. She meowed and scratched and tried to escape. + +Lily was very sad and sorry. She wished she had not touched the soap. She prayed to God and asked him to forgive her and make Mom happy again. She also prayed for a treat and a hug. + +Mom finished washing Lily and dried her with a towel. She saw that Lily was wet and shivering and felt sorry for her. She hugged her and said she was a good cat. She gave her a treat and a toy. She also said she loved her. + +Lily was happy and grateful. She licked Mom and said she loved her too. She prayed to God and thanked him for answering her prayers. She also thanked him for the soap, even though she did not like it. She learned her lesson and never touched the soap again. +Lily and Ben like to go to the pond with their dad. They like to see the fish swim and jump in the water. Sometimes they feed the fish with bread crumbs. But today, Lily and Ben have a problem. They both want to feed the same fish. + +"Look, dad, that fish is so big and shiny!" Lily says. She throws a bread crumb to the fish. The fish swims fast and eats the bread. + +"No, Lily, that's my fish!" Ben says. He throws another bread crumb to the fish. The fish swims fast and eats the bread. + +"Stop, Ben, you are greedy!" Lily says. She throws more bread crumbs to the fish. The fish swims fast and eats the bread. + +"Stop, Lily, you are bossy!" Ben says. He throws more bread crumbs to the fish. The fish swims fast and eats the bread. + +Dad sees that Lily and Ben are fighting. He urges them to share and be nice. He says, "Lily, Ben, there are many fish in the pond. You don't have to feed the same fish. Why don't you look for another fish to feed?" + +Lily and Ben look around. They see a fish that is very lazy. It does not swim fast or jump. It just floats near the surface. It looks bored and sleepy. + +"Let's feed that fish, Lily," Ben says. He throws a bread crumb to the lazy fish. The lazy fish does not move. It does not eat the bread. + +"Let's feed that fish, Ben," Lily says. She throws a bread crumb to the lazy fish. The lazy fish does not move. It does not eat the bread. + +Lily and Ben throw more bread crumbs to the lazy fish. The lazy fish does not move. It does not eat the bread. It just yawns and blinks. + +Lily and Ben look at each other. They laugh. They say, "That fish is so funny! It does not like bread. Maybe it likes something else." + +They look for something else to feed the lazy fish. They find a worm on the ground. They throw the worm to the lazy fish. The lazy fish sees the worm. It swims fast and eats the worm. It wiggles and smiles. + +Lily and Ben are happy. They say, "That fish is not lazy. It is smart. It knows what it likes. We like that fish." + +Dad is happy too. He says, "Lily, Ben, you are good. You learned how to share and be nice. You made a new friend. The lazy fish likes you." + +The end. +Sam was a little boy who liked to play with his toy cars. He had many cars of different colors and sizes, and he made them zoom and crash on the floor. One night, he took his favorite car, a red one, to bed with him. He hugged it and fell asleep. + +But Sam had a bad dream. He dreamed that a big monster came and took his car away. The monster had sharp teeth and claws, and it laughed at Sam. Sam was very scared and sad. He wanted his car back. He tried to run after the monster, but he was too slow. + +"Give me my car!" Sam shouted in his dream. + +"No, it's mine now!" the monster said. "You can't have it!" + +Sam felt angry and brave. He saw a stick on the ground. He picked it up and threw it at the monster. The stick hit the monster's nose and made it hurt. The monster dropped the car and ran away. + +Sam ran to his car and picked it up. He was happy and relieved. He hugged his car and said, "I love you, car. You are incredible. You are the best car ever." + +Then he heard a loud noise. It was his mom. She had heard him scream and came to check on him. She turned on the light and saw Sam with his car. + +"Sam, are you okay?" she asked. "Did you have a nightmare?" + +Sam nodded. He was still a little scared, but he felt better. He showed his mom his car and told her what happened in his dream. + +"Wow, that was a scary dream," she said. "But you were very brave and smart. You snapped the monster with the stick and saved your car. I'm proud of you, Sam." + +She kissed him and tucked him in. She said, "Don't worry, Sam. There are no monsters here. Only you and your car and me. I love you, Sam. Good night." + +Sam smiled and said, "I love you too, mom. Good night." + +He snuggled with his car and closed his eyes. He had no more bad dreams. He only dreamed of happy things. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with their bikes. They pretend they are mail people and deliver letters to their friends. They have a big bag full of paper and crayons. + +One day, they decide to make their letters more fun. They use different colors and shapes to write their names and draw pictures. They call this their style. They think their style is rare and cool. + +They ride their bikes to their friend Sam's house. They knock on the door and say, "Mail for Sam!" Sam opens the door and sees their letters. He smiles and says, "Wow, these are awesome! I love your style. It is rare and cool. Thank you for delivering them to me." + +Lily and Ben are happy. They say, "You're welcome, Sam. We're glad you like them. Do you want to play with us?" Sam says, "Yes, I do. Let me get my bike and we can go to the park." They all hop on their bikes and ride to the park. They have a lot of fun together. +Sam and Mia are friends. They like to play with toys. One day, they find a big scale in the garage. It is shiny and has numbers on it. + +"Let's play with the scale!" Sam says. He steps on the scale and sees the numbers change. "Look, I am six!" he says. + +Mia wants to try too. She steps on the scale next to Sam. The numbers change again. "Look, I am five!" she says. + +But the scale is old and broken. It makes a loud noise and drops to the floor. Sam and Mia are scared. They run away from the scale. + +"Are you okay?" Sam asks Mia. + +"Yes, I am okay. Are you okay?" Mia asks Sam. + +"Yes, I am okay. That was a bad scale. It scared us." Sam says. + +They hug each other. They are loyal friends. They do not like the scale. They go back to their toys. They are happy. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, Anna invites Ben to her house. She says, "Do you want to come to my house? We can have cake and play with my toys." + +Ben says, "Yes, I want to come to your house. Thank you for inviting me, Anna." + +They go to Anna's house. Anna's mom gives them cake and juice. They go to Anna's room. Anna has many toys. She has dolls, cars, books, and a big teddy bear. She says, "This is my teddy bear. His name is Mr. Fluffy. He is my best toy. You can play with the other toys, but not with Mr. Fluffy. He is only mine." + +Ben says, "OK, Anna. I will play with the other toys. But can I look at Mr. Fluffy? He is very big and soft." + +Anna says, "No, Ben. You cannot look at Mr. Fluffy. He is only for me. If you touch him, I will be angry." + +Ben feels sad. He thinks Anna is not a good friend. He plays with the other toys, but he is not happy. He looks at Mr. Fluffy. He thinks Mr. Fluffy is lonely. He wants to hug him and make him happy. + +He waits until Anna is not looking. He takes Mr. Fluffy from the bed. He hugs him and says, "Hello, Mr. Fluffy. You are a nice teddy bear. Do you want to be my friend?" + +Anna sees Ben. She screams, "Ben, what are you doing? You are touching Mr. Fluffy. You are a bad boy. Give him back to me. Now!" + +She runs to Ben. She grabs Mr. Fluffy. She pulls him hard. Ben does not want to let go. He pulls him too. They fight over Mr. Fluffy. They are not graceful. They are rough. + +Mr. Fluffy cannot take it. He rips. His stuffing comes out. He is broken. He is not a teddy bear anymore. He is a mess. + +Anna and Ben stop fighting. They look at Mr. Fluffy. They are shocked. They are sad. They are sorry. + +Anna's mom hears the noise. She comes to the room. She sees Mr. Fluffy. She sees Anna and Ben. She is angry. She is the judge. She says, "What have you done? You have ruined Mr. Fluffy. He was Anna's favorite toy. How could you be so mean and selfish? You have to go home, Ben. You are not welcome here anymore. And you, Anna, you have to go to your bed. You are not allowed to play with any toys for a week. You have to learn to share and be kind." + +Anna and Ben cry. They say, "We are sorry, mom. We are sorry, Mr. Fluffy. We did not mean to hurt you. We were stupid. We want to be friends again." + +But it is too late. Mr. Fluffy is gone. Anna and Ben are not friends anymore. They have a bad ending. +Lily and Tom were hungry. They wanted to eat pasta for lunch. They went to the kitchen and saw a big pot on the stove. They smelled the pasta and the sauce. It smelled good. + +"Can we have some pasta, please?" Lily asked. + +"Wait a minute, kids. The pasta is still hot. You need to gather some plates and forks first," Mom said. + +Lily and Tom nodded. They went to the cupboard and took out two plates and two forks. They put them on the table. They were ready to eat. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud noise. It was a thunder. They saw a flash of light. It was a lightning. They were frightened. They ran to Mom and hugged her. + +"Don't be scared, kids. It's just a storm. It will pass soon," Mom said. She hugged them back and kissed their heads. + +"Can we eat pasta now?" Tom asked. + +"Of course, you can. Come on, let's enjoy our lunch. Pasta will make you feel better," Mom said. + +She took the pot from the stove and poured some pasta and sauce on each plate. She gave them to Lily and Tom. They thanked her and started to eat. They liked the pasta. It was yummy. + +They ate and talked and laughed. They forgot about the storm. They were happy. +Lily and Ben were playing in the park. They had a big hoop and a small hoop. Lily liked the big hoop. She could roll it fast and jump inside it. Ben liked the small hoop. He could spin it on his arm and toss it in the air. + +"Look at me, Lily!" Ben said. "I can fit the small hoop on my nose!" + +He put the hoop on his nose and made a funny face. Lily laughed. She tried to do the same, but the big hoop was too big. It fell off her nose and rolled away. + +"Oops!" Lily said. "The big hoop does not fit on my nose. It is too big!" + +She ran after the hoop. Ben ran after her. They saw a dog chasing the hoop too. The dog was fast and barked loud. Lily and Ben were scared. + +"Help!" Lily said. "The dog wants our hoop!" + +They reached the hoop before the dog. Lily picked up the hoop and held it tight. Ben had an idea. + +"Let's go inside the big hoop, Lily!" he said. "The dog cannot fit inside the hoop. He is too big!" + +They went inside the big hoop and hugged each other. The dog stopped and sniffed the hoop. He could not fit inside the hoop. He was too big. He wagged his tail and walked away. + +Lily and Ben were happy. They had their hoop and each other. They rolled the hoop slow and talked. + +"The big hoop is good, Lily," Ben said. "We can fit inside the hoop. We are not too big!" + +"Yes, Ben," Lily said. "The big hoop is good. And the small hoop is good too. We can share them and play together. We are friends!" +Tom and Lily were playing outside with their toys. They liked to make pretend houses with sticks and stones and leaves. They had a lot of fun together. + +But then the sky became dark and loud. It started to rain. Big drops of water fell on their heads and their toys. Tom and Lily were wet and cold. They ran to their real house to find their mom. + +"Mom, mom, it's raining!" they shouted. "Can we play inside?" + +Mom was in the kitchen. She was making a fire in the stove. She wanted to cook some soup for them. She smiled and hugged them. + +"Of course you can play inside, my loves. But be careful with the fire. It can hurt you if you touch it. It is very hot and bright. Only mom can use the fire to make food. Do you understand?" + +Tom and Lily nodded. They understood. They did not want to get hurt by the fire. They wanted to be warm and safe. They thanked mom and went to their room. They took some books and puzzles and played on the floor. They waited for the rain to stop and the soup to be ready. They were happy. +Lily and Ben were going to camp with their mom and dad. They were very happy. They packed their bags, their toys and their snacks. They got in the car and drove to the woods. + +When they got to the camp, they saw a big tent, a fire and some chairs. Mom and dad said they could explore the camp, but they had to stay close and listen for their voices. Lily and Ben nodded and ran to the tent. They looked inside and saw two sleeping bags, a lantern and a book. + +"Let's play in the tent!" Lily said. She grabbed the book and opened it. It had pictures of animals and words. She liked books. + +"OK, but I want to see the fire too!" Ben said. He liked fire. It was warm and bright. He walked to the fire and saw some sticks and marshmallows. He wanted to roast a marshmallow. + +He picked up a stick and put a marshmallow on it. He held it over the fire. It started to melt and turn brown. He smiled. It looked yummy. + +"Lily, come and see!" he called. "I made a marshmallow!" + +Lily heard Ben and put down the book. She ran to the fire and saw Ben's marshmallow. It looked yummy too. + +"Can I have one?" she asked. + +"Sure, here you go!" Ben said. He gave her a stick and a marshmallow. She put it over the fire and waited. + +They both ate their marshmallows and licked their fingers. They were sweet and gooey. + +"Thank you, Ben!" Lily said. "That was fun!" + +"You're welcome, Lily!" Ben said. "You're my best sister!" + +They hugged and laughed. They heard mom and dad calling them. + +"Come on, kids, it's time for dinner!" mom said. + +"OK, we're coming!" Lily and Ben said. They ran to the chairs and sat down. Mom and dad gave them plates of food. They ate and talked. + +They told mom and dad about their tent, their book and their marshmallows. Mom and dad smiled and listened. + +They said they were proud of them for being strong and brave. They said they trusted them to be careful and kind. + +Lily and Ben felt happy and safe. They loved their mom and dad. They loved their camp. They had a good day. +Lily and Tom are twins. They like to play outside in the park. They have a big red ball and a yellow kite. They run and laugh and have fun. + +But one day, it is very cold and windy. Mom says they need to wear their coats. Lily has a pink coat and Tom has a blue coat. They put on their coats and go outside. + +The wind is very strong. It blows the kite high in the sky. Tom holds the string and tries to control the kite. Lily runs after the ball. She kicks it hard and it bounces on the grass. + +But then, the ball rolls into a big puddle of mud. Lily runs after it and tries to catch it. But she slips and falls into the mud. Her pink coat is all dirty and wet. She starts to cry. + +Tom sees Lily and runs to help her. He drops the kite and it flies away. He hugs Lily and says, "Don't cry, Lily. It's OK. We can clean your coat. Mom will help us." + +They go back home. Mom sees them and says, "Oh, no! What happened to you? You are all muddy and cold. Come inside, quick. Let's take off your coats and wash them." + +She takes their coats and puts them in the washing machine. She gives them warm towels and hugs. She says, "Don't worry, my loves. Your coats will be clean and bright again. You can play with them tomorrow. Now, let's have some hot chocolate and cookies." +Lily and Max were best friends. They liked to play in the park with their toys. One day, Lily brought a new toy to the park. It was a shiny red car that made noises when she pushed it. Max liked the car very much. He asked Lily if he could play with it. + +"Sure, you can play with it, but be careful. It is my original car. I got it for my birthday. It is very special to me," Lily said. + +Max nodded and took the car. He pushed it on the grass and made it go fast. He was having fun. But then he saw a big hill. He wanted to see how far the car could go. He pushed it harder and harder until it flew off the hill and landed in a bush. + +"Oh no! Where is the car?" Max said. He ran to the bush and looked for the car. He could not find it. He started to worry. What if he lost Lily's original car? What if she got angry with him? What if she did not want to be his friend anymore? + +He searched and searched, but he could not see the car. He felt sad and scared. He did not know what to do. He wished he had not pushed the car so hard. + +Meanwhile, Lily was waiting for Max. She wondered where he went. She saw him run to the hill with her car, but he did not come back. She started to worry. What if something happened to him? What if he got hurt? What if he did not like her car anymore? + +She decided to go and look for him. She walked to the hill and saw the bush. She heard Max crying. She ran to him and asked him what was wrong. + +"Max, what happened? Are you okay?" Lily said. + +Max looked up and saw Lily. He felt ashamed. He told her what he did. He said he was sorry. He said he could not find her car. He said he was a bad friend. + +Lily hugged him and said he was not a bad friend. She said she was glad he was okay. She said she did not care about the car. She said he was more important to her than the car. + +Max felt better. He hugged her back and said he was sorry again. He said he was glad she was not angry with him. He said she was the best friend ever. + +They smiled and looked at each other. Then they heard a noise. It was the car. It was still working. It had fallen out of the bush and into Lily's pocket. They laughed and took the car out. They played with it together. They were happy. They learned to be careful with their toys and to be kind to their friends. They were best friends forever. +Tom and Jen were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they found a flashlight in the grass. It was big and shiny. + +"Look, a flashlight!" Tom said. "Let's see if it works." + +He pushed a button and a bright light came out. Jen smiled. + +"Wow, that's cool!" she said. "Can I try?" + +Tom gave her the flashlight. She pointed it at the trees, the birds, and the sky. They enjoyed the flashlight very much. + +They decided to keep the flashlight and take it home. They walked to Tom's house. It was getting dark. + +"Maybe we can use the flashlight to tell stories," Jen said. "Like scary stories or funny stories." + +"That sounds fun," Tom said. "But we have to be quiet. My mom and dad don't like noise at night." + +They reached Tom's house and went to his room. They closed the door and turned off the light. They turned on the flashlight and put it under their faces. + +"Are you ready?" Tom asked. + +"Yes, I'm ready," Jen said. + +Tom started to tell a story. It was about a monster that lived in the closet. He made scary noises and faces. Jen listened and gasped. + +But then, they heard a knock on the door. It was Tom's mom. + +"Tom, Jen, what are you doing?" she asked. "It's time for bed." + +They turned off the flashlight and opened the door. Tom's mom saw the flashlight in Tom's hand. + +"Where did you get that?" she asked. + +"We found it in the park," Tom said. + +Tom's mom looked at the flashlight. She recognized it. It was her flashlight. She had lost it in the park a few days ago. + +"That's my flashlight!" she said. "I've been looking for it everywhere. Thank you for finding it." + +She took the flashlight and hugged Tom and Jen. + +"You're welcome, mom," Tom said. + +"You're welcome, Mrs. Tom," Jen said. + +Tom's mom smiled. + +"You're very sweet, both of you," she said. "But now, it's time for bed. Jen, I'll call your mom and tell her you're here. You can sleep over if you want." + +"Okay, thank you," Jen said. + +Tom and Jen went to bed. They were a little sad to lose the flashlight, but they were happy to have each other. They said good night and fell asleep. They dreamed of the flashlight and the stories they could tell. They had a fine day. +Tom and Lily were playing in the living room. They liked to pretend they were spies and hide behind the armchair. The armchair was huge and soft and had a colorful blanket on it. + +"Shh, Lily, I hear someone coming!" Tom whispered. He peeked over the armchair and saw their mom walking in. He quickly ducked back and said, "It's mom! She's the enemy! We have to freeze and not make any noise!" + +Lily nodded and held her breath. She hoped mom would not see them. She was a little scared, but also excited. She liked to play with Tom. + +Mom looked around the living room and smiled. She knew Tom and Lily were hiding somewhere. She decided to play along and pretend she did not see them. She walked to the armchair and said, "Oh, what a nice armchair! I think I'll sit here and read a book." + +She sat down on the armchair and opened a book. She felt something under the blanket and said, "What's this? A lump? A pillow? A toy?" + +Tom and Lily giggled. They could not hold it any longer. They jumped out of the armchair and shouted, "Surprise! We got you, mom!" + +Mom laughed and hugged them. She said, "You got me, indeed! You are very good spies! But now it's time for a snack. How about some cookies and milk?" + +Tom and Lily cheered and ran to the kitchen. They loved mom and they loved playing with her. They forgot about the armchair and the book. They only wanted cookies and milk. +Ben and Lily liked to play with their toy boats in the pond. They made them sail with the wind and pretended they were pirates. But one day, a big boy came and took their boats. He said they were his now and he would not give them back. + +"That is not fair!" Ben said. "Those are our boats! We made them with our dad!" + +The big boy laughed. "I don't care. I am bigger and stronger than you. I can do what I want. You are just babies. Go away and cry." + +Lily felt sad and angry. She did not like the big boy. He was mean and spoiled. He did not know how to share or be nice. She had an idea. She whispered to Ben. + +"Ben, look. There is a duck over there. Maybe he can help us. Ducks like water and boats. Maybe he can scare the big boy away." + +Ben nodded. He liked Lily's idea. He and Lily walked to the duck and gave him some bread. The duck was happy and quacked. Ben and Lily pointed to the big boy and their boats. They asked the duck to help them. + +The duck understood. He swam to the big boy and hissed. He pecked at his legs and his hands. He flapped his wings and splashed water. The big boy was scared and surprised. He dropped the boats and ran away. He cried for his mom. + +Ben and Lily cheered. They thanked the duck and gave him more bread. They took their boats and sailed them again. They were happy and proud. They had a new friend and they had their boats back. They had followed the law of the pond: be kind and share. The big boy had learned a lesson: don't be mean and spoiled. +Ben and Mia are friends. They like to play with toys and eat snacks. One day, they find a big brown cookie in the kitchen. It looks yummy and sweet. + +"Can we have the cookie?" Ben asks his mom. + +"Yes, but you have to share it. It is too big for one child," mom says. + +Ben and Mia nod. They break the cookie in half. But Ben's half is bigger than Mia's half. Ben smiles. He thinks he is lucky. + +"Look, my half is bigger. I have more cookie than you," Ben says to Mia. + +Mia feels sad. She wants more cookie too. She thinks Ben is not fair. + +"That is not nice. You should share the cookie equally. Mom said so," Mia says to Ben. + +Ben shakes his head. He does not want to share more. He likes his big half. He puts it in his mouth and bites. + +"Too bad. This is my cookie. You have your own. Go away," Ben says to Mia. + +Mia feels angry. She thinks Ben is mean. She does not want to be his friend anymore. She runs away and cries. + +Mom hears Mia crying. She comes to see what is wrong. She sees Ben with the big half of the cookie in his mouth. She sees Mia with the small half of the cookie in her hand. + +"What happened?" mom asks. + +Ben tells mom what he did. He says he does not want to share more cookie with Mia. He says he is happy with his big half. + +Mom looks at Ben. She is not happy. She thinks Ben is selfish. + +"That is not how you treat your friend. You should offer some of your cookie to Mia. She is sad because you were not fair. Sharing is caring. Do you want to make Mia happy?" mom asks. + +Ben thinks for a moment. He feels sorry for Mia. He remembers how they play and laugh together. He does not want to lose his friend. He takes out some of his cookie from his mouth. He walks to Mia and offers it to her. + +"I am sorry, Mia. I was not nice. Do you want some of my cookie? We can share it equally. You are my friend," Ben says to Mia. + +Mia looks at Ben. She sees the cookie in his hand. She sees he is sorry. She smiles. She takes the cookie and hugs Ben. + +"Thank you, Ben. I forgive you. You are my friend too. Let's share the cookie and play together," Mia says to Ben. + +Mom smiles. She is proud of Ben and Mia. She thinks they learned a good lesson. She thinks they are good friends. She gives them a glass of milk and a kiss. They eat the cookie and drink the milk. They are happy. They play with toys and share them. They are good friends. +Ben and Mia were playing in the sand at the park. They liked to make castles and dig holes with their buckets and shovels. They were having fun until a big boy came and kicked their sand castle. + +"Hey, stop that!" Ben shouted. "That's not nice!" + +The big boy laughed and said, "I don't care. It's my sand. Go away!" + +Ben and Mia were scared. They did not want to fight with the big boy. They wanted to play in peace. + +"Please, can we share the sand?" Mia asked. "We can make a bigger castle together." + +The big boy looked at Mia and frowned. He did not like to share. He liked to be the boss. + +"No, you can't. This is my park. You have to do what I say." He said. + +He grabbed Mia's bucket and threw it away. Mia started to cry. + +Ben was angry. He did not like how the big boy treated his sister. He wanted to protect her. + +He picked up his shovel and ran towards the big boy. He hit him on the head with the shovel. + +"Ow! That hurts!" The big boy cried. He dropped Mia's bucket and ran away. + +Ben and Mia hugged each other. They were brave. They stood up to the bully. + +They picked up their buckets and shovels and went to another spot in the sand. They made a new castle and decorated it with shells and stones. They were happy. They had each other. +Tim and Jen like to play in the garden. They have a furry dog named Spot. Spot likes to dig in the soil. He makes big holes and gets dirty. + +One day, Tim and Jen want to go to the park with their mom. They put on their shoes and coats. They call Spot to come with them. But Spot does not want to go. He wants to stay in the garden. He barks and runs away. + +Tim and Jen are sad. They want Spot to come with them. They try to catch him, but he is too fast. He digs more holes and gets more dirty. He thinks it is fun. + +Mom says they have to go now. She says Spot will be okay. She says he will stay in the garden until they come back. She says they will give him a bath later. + +Tim and Jen say bye to Spot. They hope he will not be lonely. They hope he will not make more mess. They get in the car and go to the park. They have fun there, but they miss Spot. They want to see him again soon. +Lily and Ben were playing in the yard. They found a big box with a lock on it. They wanted to see what was inside. + +"Let's open it!" Lily said. She tried to pull the lock, but it was too hard. + +"Maybe we need a hammer," Ben said. He ran to the shed and got a hammer. He came back and hit the lock with the hammer. Bang! Bang! Bang! + +"Stop! Stop!" Lily shouted. "You are making too much noise. Mom will hear us and get mad." + +Ben did not listen. He kept hitting the lock with the hammer. He wanted to open the box. He did not care about the noise. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud voice. "What are you doing?" It was Mom. She came out of the house and saw the box and the hammer. She was very angry. + +"Ben, Lily, how dare you use the hammer without asking me? And what is this box? Where did you get it?" + +Ben and Lily were scared. They did not know what to say. They looked at the box and saw that the lock was broken. The box was open. + +Mom looked inside the box and gasped. She saw something shiny and sparkly. It was a necklace with a big diamond. It was Mom's necklace. She had lost it a long time ago and thought it was gone forever. + +"Mom, is this your necklace?" Lily asked. + +"Yes, it is. How did you find it?" Mom asked. + +"We found it in the box. We wanted to see what was inside. We are sorry, Mom. We did not mean to break the lock and use the hammer," Ben said. + +Mom smiled. She was not angry anymore. She was happy. She hugged Ben and Lily and thanked them for finding her necklace. + +"It's okay, my loves. You did not know. But next time, please ask me before you use the hammer. And don't make so much noise. You might wake up the baby," Mom said. + +Ben and Lily nodded. They were happy too. They had opened the box and found a treasure. They had made Mom happy. They had learned a lesson. They refused to use the hammer again without asking. They put the box and the hammer back in the shed and went inside with Mom. They had a nice dinner and a good night. The end. +Tom and Lily are playing in the garden. They have a ball and a bucket. They like to throw the ball to each other and catch it. Sometimes they miss and the ball bounces on the grass. + +"Throw it to me, Tom!" Lily shouts. She is ready to catch the ball. + +Tom throws the ball, but he throws it too hard. The ball flies over Lily's head and lands in the flower bed. It makes a hole in the soil and dirties the ball. + +"Oh no!" Tom says. "Mum will be angry. She likes her flowers." + +He runs to the flower bed and picks up the ball. He tries to wipe the soil off the ball, but it is sticky and wet. He looks for a clear spot to clean the ball, but he can't find one. + +Lily comes to help him. She sees the hole in the soil and the dirty ball. She feels sorry for Tom. + +"Don't worry, Tom," she says. "We can fix it. Look, there is some water in the bucket. We can wash the ball and fill the hole with some soil." + +She takes the ball from Tom and dips it in the bucket. She rubs the ball with her hands until it is clear and shiny again. Then she gives it back to Tom. + +Tom smiles and says, "Thank you, Lily. You are a good friend." + +He takes some soil from the bucket and fills the hole in the flower bed. He tries to make it look like before. He hopes Mum won't notice. + +Lily and Tom go back to playing with the ball. They throw it gently and carefully. They have fun and they are careful not to make any more mess. +Sara and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to pick daisies and make chains with them. They also liked to run and chase each other. + +"Look, Sara, I found a big daisy!" Tom said, holding a flower in his hand. + +"Wow, it is big!" Sara said. "Can I see it?" + +Tom ran away with the daisy. "No, you can't! It is mine!" he said. + +Sara ran after him. "Tom, come back! Share the daisy with me!" she said. + +They ran and ran until they reached the fence. They saw a big road with many cars and trucks. The road was very noisy and busy. They could not cross the road. It was too dangerous. + +"Tom, we have to go back. Mommy said we can't go near the road," Sara said. + +"But I want to see what is on the other side. Maybe there are more daisies there," Tom said. + +He looked at the road. He saw a distant hill with a big tree on it. He wondered what was behind the hill. + +"Tom, please, let's go back. Mommy will be angry if we delay. She is making lunch for us," Sara said. + +She pulled Tom's hand. "Come on, Tom. We can play with the daisy later. Maybe we can make a crown for you with it." + +Tom looked at Sara. He looked at the daisy. He looked at the road. He looked at the hill. + +He sighed. He knew Sara was right. He did not want to make Mommy angry. He did not want to miss lunch. He did not want to get hurt by the cars. + +"Okay, Sara. Let's go back," he said. + +He gave Sara the daisy. "Here, you can have it. You are my sister. I love you." + +Sara smiled. She hugged Tom. "I love you too, Tom. You are my brother. Thank you for the daisy." + +They held hands and walked back to the garden. They were happy. They had each other. They had the daisy. They had Mommy. They did not need anything else. +Tommy is a squirrel who likes to find nuts and hide them in his tree. One day, he finds a big nut that is shiny and hard. He thinks it is a special nut and he wants to keep it for himself. He runs to his tree and puts the nut in a hole. + +"Ha ha, this is my nut!" he says. "No one can take it from me!" + +But then he hears a loud noise. He looks out of his tree and sees a big truck. The truck is yellow and has a big arm. The arm is moving towards his tree. + +"Oh no!" Tommy says. "The truck is going to cut my tree! What can I do?" + +He runs out of his tree and tries to stop the truck. He jumps on the wheel and bites the tire. He scratches the door and squeaks at the driver. But the driver does not see him or hear him. He is wearing a big hat and headphones. + +"Go away, squirrel!" the driver says. "I have to finish my job!" + +The driver pushes a button and the arm swings towards the tree. Tommy is scared and confused. He does not understand why the driver wants to cut his tree. He loves his tree and his nut. + +He runs back to his tree and grabs his nut. He holds it tight and hopes the arm will miss his tree. But the arm hits his tree and makes a loud crack. The tree shakes and falls to the ground. Tommy falls with it and lands on the grass. + +He opens his eyes and sees his nut. It is broken and has wires inside. It is not a nut at all. It is a toy. + +Tommy is sad and angry. He feels tricked and cheated. He throws the toy away and looks for a new tree. He hopes to find a real nut and a safe home. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys and books. One day, they see a big bus outside their house. It is red and yellow and has many windows. + +"Look, Lily, a bus!" Ben says. "Can we go on it?" + +Lily nods. She likes buses. They run to the door and ask their mom. + +"Mom, can we go on the bus?" they say. + +Mom smiles. She has a surprise for them. + +"Yes, you can. The bus is for us. We are going on a tour. Do you know what a tour is?" + +Lily and Ben shake their heads. They do not know. + +"A tour is when you go to different places and see new things. We are going to see the zoo, the park, and the museum. Are you excited?" + +Lily and Ben clap their hands. They are very excited. + +"Yay, a tour! We love the zoo, the park, and the museum!" they say. + +Mom gives them each a backpack. She helps them wrap their snacks, their water, and their hats in the backpacks. + +"Wrap them well, so they do not fall out," she says. "We have to be careful on the bus. It is a serious bus. We have to listen to the driver and stay in our seats. Do you understand?" + +Lily and Ben nod. They understand. They want to be good on the bus. + +They put on their backpacks and follow Mom to the bus. They see other kids and parents on the bus. They wave and say hello. They find their seats and buckle their belts. They are ready for the tour. + +The bus starts to move. Lily and Ben look out the window. They see many things. They see cars, trees, birds, and houses. They see a big sign that says "Zoo". They are happy. They can't wait to see the animals. They hope to see a lion, a monkey, and a penguin. + +They have a lot of fun on the tour. They learn new things and make new friends. They thank the driver and Mom for the tour. They go back to their house. They are tired but happy. They hug their toys and books. They have a new story to tell. They had a great day. +Lily did not like yellow clothes. She liked pink and purple and blue. But today, her mom gave her a yellow dress to wear. Lily did not want to wear it. She said, "No, no, no! I do not like yellow!" + +Her mom said, "Lily, you have to wear this dress. It is a gift from your grandma. She made it for you with love. She will be very sad if you do not wear it." + +Lily did not care. She threw the dress on the floor and ran to her room. She cried and cried. She did not want to wear the yellow dress. + +Her mom followed her and knocked on the door. She said, "Lily, please open the door. I want to talk to you." + +Lily opened the door. She saw her mom holding the yellow dress. She said, "Go away! I do not want to see that dress!" + +Her mom said, "Lily, I know you do not like yellow. But you have to be kind and grateful. Your grandma worked very hard to make this dress for you. She loves you very much. She wants you to be happy. How do you think she will feel if you do not wear it?" + +Lily thought for a moment. She remembered her grandma. She remembered how she hugged her and kissed her and gave her cookies. She remembered how she read her stories and sang her songs. She loved her grandma very much. She did not want to make her sad. + +Lily said, "I'm sorry, mom. I was very rude. I will wear the yellow dress. I love grandma. I want to make her happy." + +Her mom smiled and hugged her. She said, "I'm proud of you, Lily. You are a good girl. You learned to resist your own feelings and think of others. That is a very important lesson. Come on, let's go and see grandma. She will be very happy to see you in the yellow dress." + +Lily put on the yellow dress. She looked at herself in the mirror. She still did not like yellow. But she liked her grandma more. She smiled and said, "Let's go, mom. I'm ready." +Sara and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. They run and jump and slide and swing. They have fun. + +One day, they see a big dog in the park. The dog is brown and furry. The dog has a long tail and a wet nose. The dog runs to Sara and Tom. He wants to play too. + +"Hello, dog!" Sara says. "What is your name?" + +The dog does not say anything. He wags his tail and licks Sara's face. Sara giggles. The dog likes Sara. + +Tom tries to pet the dog. He reaches for the dog's head. But the dog is too fast. He jumps and bites Tom's leg. Tom yelps. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Tom says. "Bad dog! Let go of my leg!" + +The dog does not let go. He shakes his head and growls. He thinks Tom's leg is a toy. He likes Tom's leg. + +Sara sees Tom in pain. She wants to help him. She grabs a stick and hits the dog. The dog drops Tom's leg and barks. He is angry. + +"Go away, dog!" Sara says. "You are not nice! You hurt my friend!" + +The dog runs away. He does not want to play anymore. He is scared of Sara and her stick. + +Tom rubs his leg. It is red and sore. He cries. Sara hugs him. She is sorry. + +"I'm sorry, Tom," Sara says. "Are you okay?" + +Tom nods. He is brave. He stops crying. He smiles. + +"I'm okay, Sara," Tom says. "Thank you for saving me. You are a good friend." + +Sara smiles too. She is happy. She is a good friend. + +They laugh. They laugh loud. They forget about the dog. They go back to play. They have fun. +Lily and Ben were playing with their toy kitchen. They liked to pretend they were making food and drinks for their dolls and animals. Lily had a big jug of water and a cup. She wanted to pour some water into the cup and give it to her teddy bear. + +"Can I have the button, please?" she asked Ben. The button was a shiny red thing that made a funny noise when you pressed it. Lily liked to press it and pretend it was a blender or a microwave. Ben had the button in his hand and he was not using it. + +"No, it's mine!" Ben said. He did not want to share the button with Lily. He liked to hold it and look at it. He did not care about the toy kitchen or the water or the cup. + +Lily felt sad and angry. She wanted the button too. She thought Ben was being mean and selfish. She tried to grab the button from Ben, but he pulled it away. They started to fight over the button. They did not see the unknown cat that sneaked into the room. + +The cat was curious and hungry. It saw the jug of water on the table and wanted to drink from it. It jumped on the table and knocked over the jug. The water spilled everywhere. It wet the button, the toy kitchen, the dolls, the animals, and Lily and Ben. + +Lily and Ben stopped fighting and screamed. They saw the water and the cat and they were scared and surprised. The button made a loud and strange sound and then stopped working. The cat ran away and hid under the sofa. + +Lily and Ben looked at each other and felt sorry. They realized they had been silly and rude. They hugged and said sorry. They decided to share the button and the toy kitchen and to clean up the mess. They learned that fighting over things was not fun and that sharing was better. They also learned to be careful with water and to watch out for unknown cats. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had a lot of toys, but they also liked to share them with each other. Sometimes they had a row, but they always said sorry and hugged afterwards. + +One day, they found a new toy in their room. It was a big teddy bear with soft fur and a red bow. It was adorable. They both wanted to hug it and play with it. + +"Can I have the teddy bear first?" asked Ben. + +"No, I want it first!" said Lily. + +They both reached for the teddy bear and pulled it from each other. They started to have a row. + +"Give it to me!" shouted Ben. + +"No, it's mine!" shouted Lily. + +They pulled harder and harder, until the teddy bear ripped in half. They both gasped and dropped the pieces. They felt very sad and sorry. + +They looked at each other and saw tears in their eyes. They felt bad for hurting the teddy bear and each other. + +"I'm sorry, Ben," said Lily. + +"I'm sorry, Lily," said Ben. + +They hugged each other and picked up the pieces of the teddy bear. They decided to fix it with some tape and glue. They also decided to share it and take turns playing with it. + +They learned that refusing to share was not nice and that having a row was not fun. They learned that being kind and gentle was better and that the teddy bear was more adorable when it was whole. +Lila and Ben were playing with their toy cars in the garden. They liked to make them zoom and crash and honk. Lila had a red car and Ben had a blue car. They pretended they were racing on a big road. + +"Look at me, I'm so fast!" Lila said, making her car go forward. + +"I can catch you, watch this!" Ben said, making his car go reverse. + +But Ben was not looking where he was going. He reversed his car into a big flower pot. The pot fell over and broke. Dirt and flowers spilled everywhere. + +"Oh no, you broke Mom's pot!" Lila said, stopping her car. + +"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to!" Ben said, looking sad. + +They heard Mom coming out of the house. They were afraid she would be angry. + +"What happened here?" Mom asked, seeing the mess. + +Lila and Ben told her what happened. They said they were sorry and they would help clean up. + +Mom smiled and hugged them. She said it was okay, accidents happen. She said she was glad they were honest and kind. She said they had sweet spirits. + +Lila and Ben felt happy. They said they loved Mom. They helped her pick up the dirt and the flowers. They put them in a new pot. They gave it to Mom as a gift. + +Mom said it was the best gift ever. She said they were the best kids ever. They all laughed and hugged. They went inside to have some cookies. +Lily liked to design things. She had many crayons and papers. She drew houses, flowers, animals and people. She wanted to be a designer when she grew up. + +One day, she went to visit her uncle, who was a farmer. He had a big farm with many cows, pigs, chickens and sheep. He also had a tractor, a barn and a field. Lily was very happy to see the farm. She wanted to draw everything. + +"Can I design something for you, uncle?" she asked. + +"Sure, Lily. What do you want to design?" he said. + +"I want to design a pink pig," she said. She liked pink. It was her favorite color. + +"A pink pig? That's very creative, Lily. But why pink?" he asked. + +"Because pink is pretty. And pigs are cute. And I want to make them happy," she said. + +She took a paper and a pink crayon. She drew a big circle for the body, a smaller circle for the head, two ears, a snout, two eyes, a curly tail and four legs. She also drew some flowers around the pig. + +"Look, uncle. This is my pink pig. Do you like it?" she said. + +"I love it, Lily. It's very beautiful. You are a great designer. Can I keep it?" he said. + +"Of course, uncle. It's a gift for you. Maybe you can hang it in your barn. Then the other pigs can see it and be happy too," she said. + +"Thank you, Lily. You are very sweet. And very smart. Maybe one day, you can design a real pink pig for me," he said. + +They hugged and laughed. Lily was very proud of her design. She had a lot of fun at the farm. She learned a lot from her uncle. She decided to design more things for him next time. +Lily and Sam are playing in the library. They like to look at the books with many pictures and words. They see a big book on a table. It is a dictionary. It has many words and what they mean. + +"Let's see what this book says," Lily says. She opens the book and tries to read a word. "A-p-p-l-e. Apple. I know this word. It is a red fruit that is yummy." + +Sam looks at another word. "S-u-p-p-l-y. Supply. What does this word mean?" He asks. He does not know this word. + +Lily looks at the book. She sees a picture of a box with many things inside. "I think supply means things you need or want. Like toys or food or clothes. See, this box has a supply of pencils and paper and crayons." + +Sam nods. He understands. "That makes sense. We have a supply of books here. We can read many books and learn many words." + +They smile and turn the page. They want to find more words and pictures. They like the dictionary. It is an open book that teaches them new things. +Sara and Ben were twins who liked to play with their toys. But they did not like to put them away when they were done. Their room was always messy and their mom was not happy. + +One day, mom said, "I have a surprise for you. If you can mind me and keep your room tidy for a week, you will get a prize. But if you leave your toys on the floor, you will get nothing. Do you understand?" + +Sara and Ben nodded and said, "Yes, mom, we understand. We will mind you and keep our room tidy." + +They tried their best to put away their toys every day. They helped each other and made it a game. They were proud of their room and how clean it was. + +At the end of the week, mom came to check their room. She smiled and said, "You did a great job, Sara and Ben. You minded me and kept your room tidy. I am very proud of you. Here is your prize. You can each choose a new book from the bookstore. I hope you enjoy reading them." + +Sara and Ben hugged mom and thanked her. They were very happy and excited. They learned that minding mom and keeping their room tidy was not only good, but also fun. They also learned that they could get a prize for doing the right thing. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park with their toys. They liked to pretend they were pirates and explore the big slide and the swings. They had a lot of fun and did not want to go home. + +But then they heard their mom calling them. "Lily, Tom, it's time to go! We have to get ready for dinner!" she said. + +Lily and Tom did not listen. They wanted to remain in the park and play some more. They hid behind a tree and hoped their mom would not see them. + +"Where are you, kids? Come on, we have to go!" their mom said again. She sounded worried and angry. + +Lily and Tom felt scared. They did not want to make their mom worried and angry. They also did not want to miss dinner. They had a wish. They wished they could play in the park and have dinner too. + +They came out from behind the tree and ran to their mom. They said sorry and gave her a hug. + +"It's okay, kids. I'm glad you're safe. But next time, please listen to me when I call you. We have to go home now. Maybe we can come back to the park another day," their mom said. + +Lily and Tom nodded and smiled. They followed their mom to the car. They still liked to play in the park, but they also liked to make their mom happy. They learned to listen and to not remain when it was time to go. +Tom liked to whistle. He whistled when he was happy, when he was bored, and when he wanted to call his dog. He whistled loud and clear, and his dog always came running. + +One day, Tom saw a big towel in the store. It was red and soft, and it had a picture of a train on it. Tom loved trains. He wanted the towel very much. He asked his mom if he could have it. + +"Sorry, Tom, we can't buy that towel. It's too expensive. Look, here's a cheap towel. It's blue and thin, and it has no picture. But it will dry you just as well." + +Tom was sad. He did not like the cheap towel. He wanted the train towel. He whistled a sad song as they left the store. + +The next day, Tom went to the park with his mom and his dog. He brought his cheap towel with him. He played on the swings, the slide, and the sandbox. He had fun, but he still wished he had the train towel. + +Then he saw a boy with a train towel. The boy was sitting on a bench, eating a sandwich. His train towel was on the ground, next to his bike. Tom had an idea. He whistled to his dog, and pointed at the train towel. His dog understood. He ran to the train towel, grabbed it with his teeth, and ran back to Tom. + +Tom was happy. He had the train towel. He wrapped it around his shoulders, and whistled a happy song. He did not see the boy looking for his towel. He did not see the boy's angry face. He did not see the boy running towards him. He did not see the trouble coming. +Lily and Ben love to watch TV. They like to see the people sing and dance and tell jokes. They always clap their hands when they see something they like. They call it applaud. + +One day, they see a show about a big circus. They see clowns and lions and elephants and acrobats. They are very excited. They want to go to the circus and see it for real. + +They ask their mom if they can go to the circus. Their mom says yes, but they have to wait for the weekend. Lily and Ben are happy. They count the days until the weekend. + +On Saturday, they get ready to go to the circus. They wear their best clothes and bring their hats and snacks. Their mom drives them to the big tent. They see a lot of people and cars and animals. They are very excited. + +They find their seats and wait for the show to start. They see the lights and hear the music. They see the ringmaster come out and say, "Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, welcome to the greatest show on earth!" + +But then, something bad happens. A loud noise makes everyone jump. They see smoke and fire coming from the back of the tent. They hear people scream and run. They see the animals panic and break free. They see the clowns and acrobats fall and get hurt. They are very scared. + +Their mom grabs them and tries to get out. But it is too late. The fire spreads fast and the tent collapses. They are trapped inside. They can't see or breathe. They cry and hug each other. They wish they never came to the circus. They wish they stayed home and watched TV. They wish they could applaud again. +Tom was a musician. He liked to play his guitar and sing songs. He had a big show today. He was very happy. + +But when he got to the stage, he saw a problem. His guitar was broken. Someone had stepped on it and made a big hole. Tom felt helpless. He could not play his guitar. He could not sing his songs. He did not know what to do. + +He sat on the floor and cried. He did not see his friend Sam. Sam was also a musician. He played the piano. He saw Tom and his broken guitar. He felt sorry for him. He had an idea. + +He ran to his piano and started to play. He played a song that Tom knew. He waved at Tom and smiled. He wanted Tom to sing with him. Tom heard the piano and looked up. He saw Sam and his smile. He felt a little better. + +He got up and walked to the piano. He opened his mouth and sang with Sam. He forgot about his broken guitar. He only heard the music and his friend. The people in the show clapped and cheered. Tom and Sam were happy. They hugged each other. They were good musicians and good friends. +Lila and Ben are playing with their dog, Rex, in the park. Rex is a big dog, but he is very friendly and loves to run and fetch. Lila throws a stick and Rex runs after it, wagging his tail. + +"Good boy, Rex!" Lila says. "Bring it back!" + +Rex picks up the stick and runs back to Lila, but he does not give it to her. He holds it in his mouth and growls. + +"Hey, Rex, don't be silly!" Ben says. "Give Lila the stick!" + +Rex shakes his head and runs away, still growling. He sees a man walking with a small dog on a leash. Rex thinks the small dog is a toy and runs towards it, barking. + +"Rex, no!" Lila and Ben shout. "Come back!" + +The man and the small dog are scared of Rex. They think he is a dangerous dog who wants to hurt them. The man pulls the leash and tries to protect the small dog. + +"Go away, you bad dog!" the man yells. "Where is your owner?" + +Lila and Ben run after Rex, but they are too slow. Rex reaches the man and the small dog and tries to grab the small dog with his mouth. The man kicks Rex and Rex drops the stick. He yelps and runs back to Lila and Ben. + +"Rex, you are a naughty dog!" Lila says. "You scared the man and the small dog! You could have hurt them!" + +"Sorry, sorry, sorry!" Ben says to the man. "Rex is not a dangerous dog, he is a good dog. He just likes to play. He did not mean to be bad." + +The man is still angry, but he sees that Lila and Ben are sorry. He sees that Rex is not a dangerous dog, he is a big puppy who does not know better. + +"OK, OK, I forgive you," the man says. "But you have to teach your dog to behave. He cannot chase other dogs or people. He has to listen to you. You have to be his owner, not his friend." + +Lila and Ben nod. They hug Rex and say sorry to him too. They promise to train him and teach him to be a good dog. They repeat the word "no" when he does something wrong, and the word "yes" when he does something right. They give him treats and toys when he is good, and take them away when he is bad. They love Rex, and Rex loves them. He learns to be a good dog, and they learn to be good owners. They are happy together. +Tom and Lily were twins. They liked to play with their toys and their infant brother, Ben. Ben was very small and cute. He had soft hair and big eyes. Tom and Lily loved to hug him and make him laugh. + +One day, their mom went to the kitchen to make lunch. She told Tom and Lily to watch Ben and be careful. She gave them a pair of scissors to cut some paper and make shapes. Tom and Lily said yes and took the scissors. + +They cut some paper and made stars and hearts. They were having fun. They wanted to show their mom how successful they were. They looked at Ben. He was sleeping in his crib. They had an idea. + +"Let's cut Ben's hair," Tom said. "He will look funny and mom will laugh." + +"OK," Lily said. "You cut first, then I cut." + +They took the scissors and went to Ben's crib. They cut some of his hair. It fell on the blanket. They giggled. They cut some more. Ben woke up. He felt something pulling his hair. He cried. + +"Shh, Ben, don't cry," Tom said. "We are making you pretty." + +They cut some more. Ben cried louder. He moved his head. The scissors slipped. They cut his ear. Blood came out. Ben screamed. + +Mom heard the scream. She ran to the room. She saw Ben bleeding. She saw Tom and Lily holding the scissors. She was very angry and very scared. + +"What did you do?" she yelled. "How could you hurt your brother?" + +Tom and Lily dropped the scissors. They were very sorry and very afraid. They didn't mean to hurt Ben. They wanted to make him laugh. They started to cry. + +Mom picked up Ben and wrapped a towel around his ear. She called the doctor. She told Tom and Lily to stay in the corner. She said they were very bad and very naughty. She said they would be punished. + +Tom and Lily felt very sad and very guilty. They wished they never cut Ben's hair. They wished they listened to their mom. They wished they could say sorry to Ben. They wished they could make him happy again. But they couldn't. They had done a terrible thing. They had hurt their brother. They had made their mom cry. They had ruined everything. +Sara and Ben were twins. They liked to do everything together. They liked to play with their toys, read their books, and sing their songs. They were very happy. + +But today was a special day. It was their birthday. They were turning four years old. They were very excited. Their mom and dad had planned a big party for them. They had invited their friends, baked a cake, and bought some presents. They wanted to celebrate with their family and friends. + +But there was a problem. It was raining very hard. The sky was dark and the wind was loud. Sara and Ben looked out the window and felt sad. They could not go outside and play. They could not have their party in the garden. They wondered if their friends would come. + +"Don't worry, my darlings," their mom said. "We can still have a charming party inside. We have plenty of games and balloons and snacks. We can make our own fun. And I'm sure your friends will be here soon. They love you very much." + +Sara and Ben smiled. They hugged their mom and said thank you. They decided to be brave and cheerful. They helped their mom decorate the living room with streamers and banners. They put on their party hats and blew their whistles. They sang their favorite songs and danced around. + +Soon, they heard a knock on the door. It was their friends. They had come with their parents, umbrellas, and gifts. They were wet and cold, but they were happy to see Sara and Ben. They said hello and happy birthday. They came inside and joined the party. + +Sara and Ben were overjoyed. They welcomed their friends and shared their toys. They played pin the tail on the donkey, musical chairs, and hide and seek. They ate cake and ice cream and opened their presents. They laughed and clapped and cheered. + +They had a wonderful time. They forgot about the rain and the wind. They felt warm and cozy in their home. They felt loved and grateful for their family and friends. They had the best birthday ever. They celebrated with all their hearts. +Anna and Ben are in school. They like to play with their friends. Today, they have a new game. They spin around and around until they feel dizzy. Then they try to walk to the blackboard and draw something. + +"Look at me, Anna!" Ben says. He spins very fast and then stops. He walks to the blackboard, but he falls down. He laughs. "I am so dizzy!" + +Anna spins too. She feels funny. She walks to the blackboard and picks up a green crayon. She tries to draw a flower, but it looks like a circle. She giggles. "My flower is green!" + +The teacher sees them. She smiles. She likes to see them have fun. But she also wants them to learn. She says, "Anna and Ben, you are very good at spinning. But can you also write your names on the blackboard?" + +Anna and Ben nod. They go to the blackboard again. They write their names with the green crayon. They are proud. They show their names to the teacher and their friends. + +The teacher claps. She says, "Well done, Anna and Ben! You are very smart. Now, let's sit down and read a story together." + +Anna and Ben sit down. They still feel a little dizzy, but they are happy. They like to spin, but they also like to learn. They listen to the teacher and look at the pictures. They enjoy the story. +Lily and Ben were playing hide and seek in the garden. Lily was the seeker and Ben was the hider. Lily counted to ten and then opened her eyes. She started to search for Ben behind the trees, the flowers and the rocks. She could not find him anywhere. + +"Ben, where are you?" she called out. "It is getting dark and we have to go inside for dinner." + +There was no answer. Lily felt scared and lonely. She wished Ben would come out of his hiding place. She wondered if he was lost or hurt. + +She ran to the house and told her mom what happened. Her mom hugged her and said, "Don't worry, we will find him. Maybe he is hiding in the shed or the garage. Let's go and look together." + +They took a flashlight and went back to the garden. They searched in the shed and the garage, but Ben was not there. They searched in the bushes and the pond, but Ben was not there. They searched in the swing and the slide, but Ben was not there. + +"Ben, please come out!" Lily cried. "I am sorry I searched for you too long. I just wanted to play with you. Please don't be mad at me." + +Then they heard a giggle from the tree house. They looked up and saw Ben peeking out of the window. He was smiling and waving. + +"Here I am!" he said. "I found the best hiding place ever. You could not find me, ha ha!" + +Lily and her mom were relieved and angry. They climbed up the ladder and reached the tree house. Lily gave Ben a big hug and then a big scold. + +"Ben, that was not nice!" she said. "You made me worry and sad. You should not hide for so long. You should come out when I call you. It is dark and we have to go inside for dinner. And you are not supposed to go to the tree house without mom or dad. It is dangerous and you could fall." + +Ben looked down and said, "I am sorry, Lily. I did not mean to make you worry and sad. I just wanted to have fun and win the game. I did not know it was dark and we had to go inside for dinner. And I did not think the tree house was dangerous. I was careful and I had a flashlight." + +Lily and her mom forgave him and said, "It is okay, Ben. We are glad you are safe and sound. But next time, you have to listen and follow the rules. And you have to be kind and fair to your sister. Playing hide and seek is fun, but not when you hurt someone's feelings." + +Ben nodded and said, "I understand, Lily. I am sorry I was not kind and fair to you. Next time, I will listen and follow the rules. And I will come out when you call me. Playing hide and seek is fun, but not when I make you scared and lonely." + +They hugged and said, "I love you, Lily. I love you, Ben." Then they went inside for dinner. They ate and talked and laughed. They learned their lesson and they were happy. +Anna was very happy. Today was her birthday. She saw a big package on the table. She ran to the package and opened it. She hoped it was a doll or a book or a toy. + +But it was not a doll or a book or a toy. It was a big, green, slimy frog. Anna screamed and dropped the package. The frog jumped out and landed on her head. Anna felt the frog's wet skin and sticky tongue. She cried and cried. It was disgusting. + +"Surprise!" said her brother Tom. He laughed and laughed. He had put the frog in the package. He thought it was funny. He did not like Anna. He was mean. + +"Tom, how could you?" said Mom. She was angry. She took the frog off Anna's head and put it in a box. She gave Anna a hug and a kiss. She said she was sorry. She said she had a real present for Anna in her room. + +But Anna did not want a hug or a kiss or a real present. She was sad and scared. She did not trust Mom or Tom. She ran to her room and locked the door. She did not want to see anyone. She did not want to celebrate her birthday. It was the worst day ever. +Tim and Lily were best friends. They liked to play outside in the sun. One day, they saw a big puddle on the grass. They wanted to see how deep it was. + +"Let's measure the puddle!" Tim said. He found a stick and put it in the water. "Look, it's up to here!" He showed Lily the wet part of the stick. + +Lily nodded. She had an idea. She ran to the sandbox and got a bucket. She filled it with sand and carried it to the puddle. "I can make the puddle smaller!" She said. She poured the sand into the water. The puddle became smaller and smaller. + +Tim clapped his hands. He was amazed. "You are so gifted, Lily! You can make the puddle disappear!" He said. + +Lily smiled. She was proud. "Thank you, Tim! You are gifted too! You can measure the puddle!" She said. + +They hugged each other. They were happy. They had fun with the puddle. They were best friends. +Lily and Ben are twins. They share a big bed with a soft mattress. They like to sleep and play on the bed. But sometimes they fight over the toys and the blankets. They make the bed very messy. + +One day, Mom says, "Lily and Ben, you are too big to share a bed. You need to separate. You will have your own beds in your own rooms. You can choose your own toys and blankets. But you have to keep them tidy." + +Lily and Ben are sad and angry. They do not want to separate. They like to be together. They say, "No, Mom, we do not want to separate. We want to share. We do not care if the bed is messy. We love our bed and our mattress." + +Mom says, "I know you love each other, but you also need your own space. You will still see each other every day. You can play together in the living room or the garden. But you have to sleep in your own beds at night. It will be good for you. Trust me." + +Lily and Ben are not happy, but they listen to Mom. They help Mom to move the mattress and the bed to their new rooms. They pick their own toys and blankets. They say goodbye to their old bed and their old room. They hug each other and say, "We will always be twins. We will always be friends. We will always share our love." +Lily and Max are twins. They like to play with their toys, but sometimes they fight. One day, they both want to play with the same phone. The phone can make funny sounds and lights. + +"Give me the phone!" Lily says. + +"No, it is mine!" Max says. + +They pull the phone from each other. The phone breaks. They both cry. + +Mom hears the noise and comes to see. She is sad and angry. + +"Why did you break the phone?" Mom asks. + +"Lily wanted it!" Max says. + +"Max wanted it!" Lily says. + +Mom shakes her head. She says, "You need to learn to share and take turns. The phone is for both of you, not just one. Now you have no phone to play with. How do you feel?" + +Lily and Max feel sorry. They say, "We feel bad. We are sorry, Mom." + +Mom hugs them. She says, "It is okay. I forgive you. But next time, you have to be more careful and kind. You are twins, you should love each other, not fight. Fighting makes everyone unhappy. Sharing makes everyone happy. Do you understand?" + +Lily and Max nod. They say, "We understand, Mom. We will share and take turns. We love each other, and we love you." + +Mom smiles. She says, "I love you too. Now, let's go and find another toy to play with. Maybe we can fix the phone later." + +Lily and Max hold hands. They go with Mom to find another toy. They play together peacefully. They are happy. +Lila and Ben were twins who liked to play in the park. They had many toys, but they always wanted more. They were spoiled children who did not share or say thank you. + +One day, they saw a big oak tree in the park. It had many leaves and acorns. Lila and Ben ran to the tree and started to pick the acorns. They wanted to take them all home and keep them for themselves. + +"Look at all these acorns!" Lila said. "They are shiny and brown. I want them all!" + +"Me too!" Ben said. "They are mine! You can't have them!" + +They began to fight over the acorns. They pulled and pushed and shouted. They did not see the squirrel who lived in the oak tree. The squirrel was angry. He did not like the children who took his food. He decided to teach them a lesson. + +He climbed down the tree and jumped on Lila's head. He bit her ear and scratched her hair. Lila screamed and dropped the acorns. She ran away from the tree. + +The squirrel then jumped on Ben's head. He bit his nose and scratched his face. Ben cried and dropped the acorns. He ran away from the tree. + +The squirrel took back his acorns and hid them in his nest. He blinked his eyes and smiled. He was happy. He had taught the children a lesson. + +Lila and Ben ran to their mother, who was sitting on a bench. They had tears and blood on their faces. They told their mother what happened. + +Their mother was angry and sad. She scolded them for being greedy and rude. She told them to say sorry to the squirrel and to each other. She told them to share and be kind. + +Lila and Ben felt ashamed. They nodded and said sorry. They walked back to the oak tree and gave some acorns to the squirrel. They also gave some acorns to the other children in the park. They learned their lesson. They were not spoiled anymore. They were good children. +Lily and Ben were very excited to see the fireworks. They had never seen them before. Their mom and dad took them to the park where many people were waiting for the show. + +"Mom, what are fireworks?" Lily asked. + +"Fireworks are things that make bright colors and loud noises in the sky. They are for fun and to celebrate special days," mom explained. + +"Who makes them?" Ben wondered. + +"Some people who know how to make them provide them for us. They are very careful and safe. They use a big truck and a remote to set them off," dad said. + +Soon, the sky was dark and the show began. Lily and Ben watched in awe as the fireworks burst into different shapes and colors. They saw stars, flowers, hearts, and even a smiley face. They clapped and cheered with the crowd. + +But then, something weird happened. One of the fireworks did not go up. It stayed on the ground and started to spin and whistle. It moved towards the people and made them scream and run. + +"Look out!" dad shouted. He grabbed Lily and Ben and moved them away from the firework. Mom followed them and hugged them tight. + +The firework stopped and fizzled out. No one was hurt, but everyone was scared and confused. + +"What was that?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know. That was a bad firework. It did not work right. It was dangerous," dad said. + +"Are there more bad fireworks?" Ben asked. + +"No, I don't think so. That was a rare mistake. The people who provide the fireworks will check them and make sure they are good," mom said. + +"Can we still watch the show?" Lily asked. + +"Yes, we can. The show will go on. But we will stay a little farther away, just in case," dad said. + +They found a new spot and watched the rest of the show. The fireworks were beautiful and amazing. Lily and Ben forgot about the weird firework and enjoyed the night. They thanked their mom and dad for taking them to the park and giving them a special treat. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big house with a fence. The house looks old and scary. + +"Let's go see the house," Tom says. + +"No, it is too scary," Lily says. + +"Come on, it will be fun," Tom says. He climbs over the fence and runs to the house. Lily follows him. + +They find a door that is open. They go inside the house. It is dark and dusty. They see a lot of things that they do not know. They see a group of keys on a table. + +"Look, keys!" Tom says. He picks up a key and tries it on a door. The door does not open. He tries another key. The door opens. + +"Wow, what is in there?" Tom says. He goes into the room. Lily follows him. + +They see a bed, a chair, a lamp, and a closet. They see a picture of a man and a woman on the wall. They look old and sad. + +"Who are they?" Lily says. + +"I don't know," Tom says. He opens the closet. He sees a lot of clothes and shoes. He sees a hat and a coat. He puts them on. + +"Look at me, I am the man in the picture," Tom says. He laughs. + +"You look funny," Lily says. She laughs too. + +They hear a noise. They hear footsteps. They hear a voice. + +"Who is there? Who is in my house?" The voice says. It sounds angry. + +Tom and Lily are scared. They run to the door. They try to open it. It does not open. + +"Oh no, we are locked in!" Tom says. + +"Help, help!" Lily says. + +They bang on the door. They cry. They hope someone will hear them. They hope someone will help them. They are sorry they went into the house. They wish they stayed in the park. +Tom was a cat who liked to explore. He liked to find new things and smell new smells. One day, he saw a big truck outside his house. The truck had a picture of a cow on it. Tom was curious. He wanted to see what was inside the truck. + +He jumped on the truck and looked inside. He saw many boxes and bags. He smelled something good. He opened one of the bags and discovered meat. It was red and juicy and smelled like cow. Tom was happy. He wanted to eat the meat. He took a big bite and felt a sharp pain. He spat out the meat and saw a metal hook in it. It had hurt his mouth. Tom was confused. Why was there a hook in the meat? He looked at the other bags and saw more hooks. He realized that the meat was not for cats. It was for people who wanted to catch fish. + +Tom felt sorry for the fish. He did not like to be hurt. He did not want the fish to be hurt either. He decided to leave the truck and the meat. He ran back to his house and found his bowl of cat food. He ate his cat food and felt better. He learned that not all meat was good for him. He learned that he should be careful when he explored. He learned that he should respect other animals. He was a wise cat. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with cars and balls. One day, they see a new toy store. It has many shiny and colorful toys. They want to go inside and look. + +"Can we go, Mom?" Tom asks his mom. + +"OK, but we have to be quick. We have to go home soon," Mom says. + +Tom and Sam run inside the toy store. They see a big train, a soft bear, a loud robot, and many other toys. They want to play with all of them. But then, Tom sees something special. It is a red cap with a star on it. The cap has a button. When Tom presses the button, the star lights up and makes a sound. + +"Wow, this is a powerful cap!" Tom says. "I want it!" + +He puts the cap on his head. He feels like a superhero. He runs around the store, making noises and pretending to fly. + +"Tom, look at me!" Sam says. He has found a green cap with a moon on it. It also has a button. He presses it and the moon glows and makes a sound. + +"Wow, this is a powerful cap too!" Sam says. "I want it!" + +He puts the cap on his head. He feels like a space explorer. He jumps around the store, making noises and pretending to blast aliens. + +"Tom, Sam, come here!" Mom says. She has found them in the store. She looks at their caps. She sees the price tags. They are very expensive. + +"Boys, you have to take off those caps. They are not yours. You have to pay for them if you want them," Mom says. + +"But Mom, we love these caps! They are powerful! They make us happy!" Tom and Sam say. + +"I know, but we don't have enough money for them. They are too much. Maybe you can save your money and buy them later. Or maybe you can ask for them for your birthday. But now, you have to give them back," Mom says. + +Tom and Sam feel sad. They don't want to give back their caps. They like them so much. But they know Mom is right. They have to pay for things they want. They can't just take them. They take off their caps and put them back on the shelf. They say goodbye to their caps. + +"Maybe we can see you again someday," Tom says to his cap. + +"Maybe we can play with you again someday," Sam says to his cap. + +They follow Mom out of the toy store. They still feel sad, but they also feel proud. They did the right thing. They did not steal. They are good boys. And they still have each other. They are still friends. They can still play with cars and balls. And they can still pretend to be powerful. They don't need caps for that. They have their imagination. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play games. One day, they pretend to have a restaurant in their room. Anna is the cook and Ben is the waiter. + +"Hello, what do you want to eat?" Ben asks Mom and Dad, who sit on the bed. + +"I want a pizza, please," Mom says. + +"I want a salad, please," Dad says. + +Ben writes their orders on a paper. He gives it to Anna in the kitchen. Anna looks at the paper. She is lazy. She does not want to make pizza and salad. She takes two pillows and covers them with a blanket. She puts them on a tray. She gives the tray to Ben. + +"Here is your food," Anna says. + +Ben takes the tray to Mom and Dad. He puts it on the bed. + +"Thank you," Mom and Dad say. They lift the blanket. They see the pillows. + +"This is not pizza and salad!" Mom says. + +"This is not food!" Dad says. + +Anna and Ben laugh. They think it is funny. Mom and Dad pretend to be angry. They tickle Anna and Ben. They all have fun. +Lily and Ben love to play with their toy pigs. They have many pigs of different colors and sizes. They like to make them talk and do funny things. + +One day, they decide to play a game with their pigs. They want to see who has more pigs. They put all their pigs in a big pile and take turns to pick one. + +"I have a pink pig," Lily says. "She is very pretty and smart. She can number to ten." + +"Wow, that is brilliant," Ben says. "But I have a brown pig. He is very strong and fast. He can run and jump." + +They keep picking pigs and saying what they can do. They have pigs that can sing, dance, paint, and fly. They have so much fun that they forget to count how many pigs they have. + +"Who has more pigs?" Lily asks. + +"I don't know," Ben says. "Let's number them together." + +They start to number their pigs, one by one. They point to each pig and say the number out loud. + +"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten," Lily says. + +"Eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty," Ben says. + +They look at each other and smile. They have the same number of pigs. They are both happy. + +"Let's share our pigs," Lily says. + +"OK, let's share," Ben says. + +They hug each other and their pigs. They are the best friends. They love to play with their toy pigs. +Lily and Ben are playing in the living room. They have many toys, but they want to watch TV. They see a big TV on the shelf, but it is too high for them to reach. + +"Let's get the TV down," Ben says. "We can watch cartoons." + +"How?" Lily asks. "The TV is heavy. We are small." + +Ben has an idea. He gets a chair from the kitchen and puts it near the shelf. He climbs on the chair and tries to reach the TV. + +"Be careful, Ben," Lily says. "You can fall." + +"I can do it," Ben says. He grabs the TV and pulls. The TV is heavy and Ben is not strong. The TV falls off the shelf and lands on the floor with a loud crash. + +"Ben, are you okay?" Lily shouts. She runs to Ben and sees that he is not hurt, but he is scared. The TV is broken and there are pieces everywhere. + +Mom and Dad hear the noise and come to the living room. They see the mess and the broken TV. They are angry and worried. + +"What happened here?" Mom asks. "Who did this?" + +Ben and Lily look at each other. They do not want to get in trouble. They do not reply. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play in the park. They see a big pond with ducks. Lily and Ben want to feed the ducks. They ask their mom for some bread. + +"Can we feed the ducks, mom?" Lily says. + +"Sure, but be careful and patient. Don't scare the ducks or throw too much bread," mom says. + +Lily and Ben take some bread and walk to the pond. They see a row of ducks swimming in the water. They break the bread into small pieces and toss them to the ducks. + +"Quack, quack, quack!" the ducks say. They swim to the bread and eat it. + +Lily and Ben are happy. They smile and clap their hands. + +"Look, mom, the ducks like the bread!" Ben says. + +"Yes, they do. You are very kind to the ducks," mom says. + +Suddenly, a big dog runs to the pond. He barks and chases the ducks. The ducks are scared. They spring out of the water and fly away. + +"Hey, stop that, dog!" Lily says. + +"Bad dog, bad dog!" Ben says. + +The dog's owner comes and calls the dog. He says sorry to Lily and Ben and their mom. + +"I'm sorry, he likes to chase ducks. He didn't mean to spoil your fun," he says. + +"It's okay, we understand. He's just a playful dog," mom says. + +Lily and Ben are sad. They miss the ducks. + +"Will the ducks come back, mom?" Lily says. + +"Maybe, if we wait and are patient. They might be hungry again," mom says. + +Lily and Ben nod. They sit on a bench and wait. They hope the ducks will come back. They love the ducks. +Lily and Max liked to play in the park. They liked to slide, climb and swing. One day, they saw a new thing in the park. It was a big red knob on a pole. They wondered what it was. + +"Let's go see it," Max said. He ran to the knob and touched it. It was cold and smooth. He tried to turn it, but it did not move. + +"What do you think it does?" Lily asked. She was fearful of the knob. It looked strange and scary. + +"Maybe it makes a sound, or a light, or a fountain," Max said. He pushed and pulled the knob, but nothing happened. + +"Maybe it's broken," Lily said. She wanted to go back to the swing. She did not like the knob. + +"Or maybe it's a secret," Max said. He had a bright idea. He whispered to Lily, "Maybe we have to say a magic word to make it work." + +Lily was curious. She liked magic words. She asked, "What word?" + +Max thought hard. He remembered a word he heard on TV. He said, "Abracadabra!" + +As soon as he said the word, the knob made a loud noise. It was a siren. It wailed and flashed. Lily and Max were shocked. They did not expect that. + +The noise was so loud that it scared the birds, the dogs and the people in the park. Everyone looked at the knob and at Lily and Max. They did not look happy. They looked angry. + +Lily and Max realized that they had done something bad. They had turned on the fire alarm. They were in trouble. + +They ran away from the knob and hid behind the swing. They hoped that no one would find them. They were very sorry and very scared. They wished they had never touched the knob. +One day, Ben and Lily went to the park with their mom. They saw a big tree with many flowers and bees. Ben wanted to pick some flowers for mom, but Lily said no. + +"Bees live in the hive. The hive is their home. If you take their flowers, they will be mad," Lily said. + +But Ben did not listen. He ran to the tree and pulled a flower. The bees saw him and buzzed loudly. They flew out of the hive and chased Ben. Ben was scared and ran away. He dropped the flower and bumped into a rock. He fell down and hurt his knee. It was hard and red and it bled. + +Ben started to weep. He cried and cried. Mom heard him and came to help. She hugged him and cleaned his knee. She put a band-aid on it and kissed it. + +"Mom, I'm sorry. I was bad. I took the bees' flower and they stung me," Ben said. + +Mom nodded. "I know, Ben. You made a mistake. But you learned a lesson. You should not take what is not yours. You should respect the bees and their hive. They work hard to make honey and pollinate the flowers. They are important for the park and the world. Do you understand?" + +Ben nodded. He looked at Lily. She was holding a flower. She had asked a bee if she could have one and the bee said yes. She smiled and gave the flower to Ben. + +"Here, Ben. This is for you. I'm sorry you got hurt. Bees are nice if you are nice to them. They share their flowers if you ask nicely. Do you want to be friends with the bees?" + +Ben smiled and took the flower. He said thank you to Lily and the bee. He felt better. He learned to be kind and respectful. He wanted to be friends with the bees. He said sorry to the hive and the bees. They buzzed happily and flew back to their home. Ben, Lily and mom went home too. They had a good day at the park. +Lisa and Tom are twins. They like to play in the garden. One day, they see a big tree with red fruits. They are cherries. Lisa and Tom want to try them. + +They ask their mom, "Mom, can we have some cherries?" + +Mom says, "Yes, you can, but be careful. Some cherries have pits. Pits are hard and you cannot eat them. You have to spit them out." + +Lisa and Tom say, "OK, mom, we will spit out the pits." + +They pick some cherries and eat them. They are sweet and juicy. Lisa and Tom make funny faces when they spit out the pits. They laugh and giggle. + +But then, the sun gets very hot. Lisa and Tom feel thirsty. They want some water. + +They ask their mom, "Mom, can we have some water?" + +Mom says, "Yes, you can, but first you have to wash your hands and faces. They are sticky from the cherries." + +Lisa and Tom say, "OK, mom, we will wash our hands and faces." + +They go to the sink and wash their hands and faces. They use a towel to dry them. They feel fresh and clean. + +They drink some water and say, "Thank you, mom, for the cherries and the water. They were yummy and cool." + +Mom says, "You're welcome, Lisa and Tom. I'm glad you enjoyed them. Now, do you want to play some more in the garden?" + +Lisa and Tom say, "Yes, mom, we do. We love the garden and the cherries." + +They run back to the garden and play some more. They are happy. +Lily was restless. She did not want to nap. She wanted to play with her toys and run around the house. But Mom said she had to nap, or she would be too tired later. + +Mom took Lily to her room and tucked her in. She gave her a kiss and said, "Sleep well, sweetie. I'll be back soon." + +Lily closed her eyes, but she could not sleep. She heard noises from the kitchen. She smelled something yummy. She wondered what Mom was making. + +She got out of bed and tiptoed to the door. She opened it a little and peeked outside. She saw Mom in the kitchen, stirring a pot. She also saw a bowl of yogurt on the counter. + +Lily loved yogurt. She wanted some. She decided to go to the kitchen and ask Mom for some. She walked quietly, hoping Mom would not notice. + +But Mom did notice. She turned around and saw Lily. She smiled and said, "Hello, Lily. Did you have a good nap?" + +Lily shook her head. She pointed to the yogurt and said, "Yogurt, please." + +Mom laughed and said, "You're hungry, huh? Well, I guess you can have some yogurt. But only a little, because dinner will be ready soon." + +She took the bowl of yogurt and a spoon and offered them to Lily. "Here you go. Enjoy." + +Lily took the bowl and the spoon and said, "Thank you, Mom." She sat on a chair and ate the yogurt. It was creamy and sweet. She liked it a lot. + +Mom watched her and said, "You're welcome, Lily. But after you finish, you have to go back to your room and try to nap. OK?" + +Lily nodded. She finished the yogurt and gave the bowl and the spoon back to Mom. She said, "Yogurt was good. Nap now." + +Mom hugged her and said, "That's my good girl. I love you." + +She took Lily back to her room and tucked her in again. She gave her another kiss and said, "Sleep well, sweetie. I'll be back soon." + +Lily closed her eyes and felt sleepy. She thought about the yogurt and Mom. She smiled and fell asleep. +Lily liked to dream. Every night, she closed her eyes and saw many things in her head. She saw animals, stars, flowers, and places she wanted to go. Sometimes, she dreamed of being a princess or a fairy or a superhero. + +One night, she dreamed of a big red dress. It was shiny and fluffy and had many ribbons. She put on the dress and felt very pretty. She wanted to show it to her friend Max, who lived next door. She went out of her room and knocked on his door. + +"Hi, Lily!" Max said. He was wearing his pajamas, which had cars on them. "What are you doing?" + +"I have a red dress!" Lily said. "Do you want to see?" + +"Sure!" Max said. He followed Lily to her room. He saw the red dress on her bed. It was very big and bright. He thought it looked funny. + +"Wow, that's a nice dress," he said. He did not want to hurt Lily's feelings. "Where did you get it?" + +"I dreamed it!" Lily said. "I can dream anything I want. Do you want to try?" + +Max was curious. He liked to dream too, but he never dreamed of clothes. He dreamed of rockets, dinosaurs, pirates, and robots. He wondered what he could dream if he tried. + +"Okay," he said. "How do we do it?" + +Lily smiled. She took Max's hand and led him to her bed. She pulled the covers over them and said, "Close your eyes and think of something you like. Then, it will come true in your dream." + +Max closed his eyes and thought of something he liked. He thought of a red car. It was fast and loud and had many buttons. He wanted to drive it and go on adventures. + +Lily closed her eyes and thought of something she liked. She thought of a red crown. It was sparkly and pretty and had many jewels. She wanted to wear it and be a queen. + +They both dreamed of red things. They both had fun. They both felt happy. They did not know that they were dreaming together. They only knew that they were friends. +Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play in the park. Tim is big and Sam is small. Tim can run fast and Sam can not. Tim likes to follow Sam and make him fall. Sam does not like that. He cries and runs to Mom. + +Mom sees Tim and Sam. She is not happy. She tells Tim to stop being mean to Sam. She tells Sam to be brave and stand up to Tim. She gives them both a hug and a snack. She says they have to share and be nice. + +Tim and Sam eat their snack. They have bread and jam. Tim likes jam. He eats his bread fast. He wants more jam. He sees Sam's bread. He takes it from Sam. Sam is sad. He says that is not fair. He wants his bread back. + +Tim does not listen. He eats Sam's bread too. He laughs and says he is hungry. He says Sam is slow and silly. He says he can have all the jam. Sam is angry. He pushes Tim. Tim falls and hits his head. He cries and holds his head. + +Mom hears Tim and Sam. She runs to them. She sees Tim's head and Sam's bread. She is very mad. She scolds Tim and says he is greedy and rude. She says he has to say sorry to Sam and give him some jam. She says he has to go to bed early. She says he has a bad stomach from eating too much. + +Tim feels sorry and sick. He says sorry to Sam and gives him some jam. He says he will be nice to Sam from now on. He says he does not want to follow Sam and make him fall. He says he wants to play with Sam and have fun. Sam forgives Tim and hugs him. He says he loves Tim and they can be friends. Mom smiles and says she loves them both. She says they can play in the park again tomorrow. +Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to dig holes with their spades and look for worms and stones. They also liked to make mud pies and pretend they were cakes. + +One day, they found something shiny in the dirt. It was a ring with a big red stone. Lily picked it up and put it on her finger. She felt like a princess. + +"Wow, Lily, you look so pretty!" Tom said. "Where did you find that ring?" + +"I found it in the hole, Tom. Maybe it was a fairy's ring. Do you think she will be angry if I keep it?" Lily asked. + +Tom shrugged. He did not know much about fairies. He wanted to find something shiny too. He dug deeper and deeper with his spade. + +Suddenly, he heard a loud roar. He looked up and saw a big dog running towards them. It had sharp teeth and angry eyes. It was the mean dog from next door. It had escaped from its yard. + +Tom and Lily were very frightened. They dropped their spades and ran to the house. They screamed for their mom. + +"Mom, mom, help! There is a big dog in the garden! It wants to bite us!" they cried. + +Mom heard them and came out. She saw the dog and grabbed a broom. She waved it at the dog and shouted. The dog was scared of mom and ran away. + +Mom hugged Tom and Lily and took them inside. She gave them some cookies and milk. She checked them for scratches and bites. They were OK. + +"Thank you, mom, you saved us!" Tom and Lily said. + +"You're welcome, my darlings. I'm glad you're safe. But where did you get that ring, Lily?" mom asked. + +Lily looked at her finger. She still had the ring on. She felt guilty. She did not want to make the fairy angry. She did not want to keep something that was not hers. + +"I found it in the garden, mom. But I think it belongs to a fairy. Can we give it back to her?" Lily asked. + +Mom smiled. She did not believe in fairies, but she liked Lily's imagination. She said they could go back to the garden and put the ring in the hole. Maybe the fairy would find it there. + +Tom and Lily agreed. They went back to the garden with mom. They found the hole and put the ring in it. They covered it with dirt. They hoped the fairy would be happy. + +Then they prayed. They prayed that the fairy would forgive them. They prayed that the dog would not come back. They prayed that they would always be safe and happy. + +The end. +Tim and Liz are twins. They like to play in the garden. They see a big onion in the dirt. They want to pick it up. + +"Can I have it?" Tim asks. + +"No, I saw it first!" Liz says. + +They pull the onion together. It is rough and smelly. They do not like it. + +"Yuck!" Tim says. "This is not a good toy." + +"Let's give it to Mom," Liz says. "Maybe she can cook it." + +They run to the house with the onion. Mom is in the kitchen. She is surprised to see them. + +"Look, Mom, we found this in the garden!" Tim says. + +"Wow, what a nice onion!" Mom says. "Thank you for giving it to me. I can make some soup with it." + +"Soup?" Liz asks. "Can we have some?" + +"Of course, my sweeties," Mom says. "But first, you need to wash your hands. They are dirty from the onion." + +Tim and Liz wash their hands. They are happy to help Mom. They wait for the soup to be ready. They hope it will taste good. +Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They liked to look for rocks and make shapes with them. Lily found a big round rock that looked like a ball. She rolled it to Tom and said, "Look, Tom, a rock ball!" + +Tom was happy. He kicked the rock ball and it flew in the air. But then it landed on a cheese that was on the table. The cheese was for their snack. It was fragile and soft. The rock ball made a big hole in the cheese. + +"Oh no!" Lily and Tom said. They ran to the table and saw the cheese. It was ruined. They felt sad and sorry. They liked cheese. They did not want to waste it. + +Mama came out of the house. She saw the cheese and the rock ball. She was not angry. She smiled and said, "What happened here?" + +Lily and Tom told Mama what they did. They said they were sorry. Mama hugged them and said, "It's okay. I know you did not mean to break the cheese. You were just having fun. But next time, be careful with your rock ball. It can hurt fragile things." + +Mama gave them a new cheese and some crackers. She also gave them some paint and brushes. She said, "Why don't you paint your rock ball and make it more colorful? Then you can play with it in a safe place." + +Lily and Tom liked the idea. They thanked Mama and took the rock ball and the paint. They painted the rock ball with different colors and patterns. They made it look like a rainbow. They were proud of their rock ball. They played with it in the sandbox, where it could not hurt anything. They had fun and learned a lesson. +Tom and Lily love to play in the water. They have a large pool in their backyard. Sometimes they pretend they are dolphins and swim fast and jump high. They make funny noises like "ee-ee-ee" and "click-click-click". + +One day, they find a toy gun in the garage. It can shoot water very far. Tom and Lily think it is fun to shoot water at each other. They run and splash and laugh. They say "bang-bang-bang" and "pew-pew-pew". + +But then, they see a real dolphin in the pool. It is not a toy. It is alive and friendly. It swims up to them and makes noises like "hello-hello-hello". Tom and Lily are surprised and happy. They want to play with the dolphin. + +They put down the toy gun and touch the dolphin gently. The dolphin likes them and lets them ride on its back. It takes them around the pool and jumps high. Tom and Lily feel like they are flying. They hug the dolphin and say "thank you-thank you-thank you". + +The dolphin smiles and says "you're welcome-you're welcome-you're welcome". It waves its tail and dives back into the water. Tom and Lily wave back and say "bye-bye-bye". They hope to see the dolphin again. They think it is the best friend ever. +Lily and Tom were playing in the backyard. They saw a big box under a tree. It was brown and had no pictures on it. It looked mysterious. + +"Let's open it!" Lily said. She ran to the box and tried to lift the lid. + +"Wait!" Tom said. He followed her and grabbed her hand. "Maybe it's not for us. Maybe it's for someone else. Maybe it has something bad inside." + +Lily looked at him. She was curious. She wanted to see what was in the box. She pulled her hand away. + +"No, it's for us. I can feel it. It has something good inside. Something fun. Come on, help me open it!" She said. + +Tom was scared. He did not want to open the box. He did not want to get in trouble. He did not want to find something bad. + +"No, let's leave it. Let's go play with our toys. Maybe Mom or Dad will tell us what's in the box later." He said. + +Lily shook her head. She did not want to leave it. She did not want to play with her toys. She wanted to open the box. + +"No, I want to open it now. You can go if you want. I don't need you." She said. + +Tom felt sad. He did not want to leave Lily. He did not want to lose his friend. He wanted to play with her. + +"Please, Lily, don't open it. Please, come with me. Please, be my friend." He said. + +Lily looked at him. She saw his sad face. She felt sorry. She did not want to hurt him. She wanted to be his friend. + +"Okay, Tom, I'm sorry. I won't open it. I'll come with you. You're my friend." She said. + +They hugged and smiled. They left the box under the tree. They went to play with their toys. They did not know what was in the box. They did not care. They were happy. +Anna and Ben were twins who loved to play outside. They liked to run, jump, climb and explore. But sometimes they also liked to sit and watch the birds and the clouds. One day, they saw a big white bird with long wings and a long neck. It was a swan. + +"Look, Anna, a swan!" Ben said, pointing at the sky. + +"Wow, it's so pretty!" Anna said, admiring the bird. "Where is it going?" + +"Maybe it's looking for a pond to settle in," Ben said. "Let's follow it and see." + +They ran after the swan, keeping their eyes on it. They crossed the field, the bridge, and the road. They came to a park with a big lake. There they saw the swan land on the water, graceful and smooth. It joined other swans and ducks that were swimming and quacking. + +"Look, it found its friends!" Anna said, happy for the swan. + +"Let's go say hello," Ben said, eager to get closer. + +They walked to the edge of the lake and waved at the swan. The swan looked at them and gave a soft honk. It seemed to smile at them. + +"Hello, swan!" Anna and Ben said together. + +"Hello, children!" the swan said, surprising them. + +They gasped and stared at the swan. They had never heard a bird talk before. + +"How can you talk?" Anna asked, curious. + +"I can talk because I'm a magic swan," the swan said, proud. "I can grant you one wish each, if you are kind and polite." + +Anna and Ben looked at each other, excited and amazed. They had found a magic swan. They wondered what they could wish for. They thought hard and then smiled. They knew what they wanted. + +"Can we wish to fly like you?" they asked the swan. + +The swan nodded and said, "Yes, you can. But only for one day. And you have to be back before sunset, or you will lose your wings." + +Anna and Ben agreed and thanked the swan. The swan touched them with its beak and said, "Now you have wings. Enjoy your flight, but be careful and have fun." + +Anna and Ben felt a tingling in their backs. They looked and saw that they had grown white feathers and wings. They flapped them and felt a lift. They giggled and squealed. They could fly! + +They flew up in the air and joined the swan. They felt the wind and the sun on their faces. They saw the trees and the houses and the people below. They felt free and happy. They flew with the swan and learned how to glide and soar and dive. They had the best day of their lives. They thanked the swan again and again for their wish. + +But they also remembered the swan's warning. They watched the sky and saw that it was getting darker. They knew they had to go back soon. They said goodbye to the swan and flew back to their home. They landed on their porch and hugged each other. They felt their wings disappear and their feathers fall off. They were children again. + +They ran inside and told their mom and dad about their adventure. Their mom and dad smiled and hugged them. They said they were proud of them and glad they were safe. They said they had a surprise for them. They took them to the backyard and showed them a big wooden swing set. They said they had built it for them while they were gone. + +Anna and Ben gasped and clapped. They loved the swing set. They thanked their mom and dad and ran to try it. They swung high and low and felt the thrill of flying again. They laughed and sang and felt the joy of being together. They had the best night of their lives. They settled in their beds and dreamed of swans and wings and wishes. They smiled and slept. +Sara and Ben are playing in the garden. They like to dig and look for bugs and worms. Sara has a small shovel and Ben has a big spoon. + +"Look, Sara, I found a radish!" Ben says, holding up a red and white root. "It is round and smooth and has green leaves." + +"Wow, Ben, that is a good find!" Sara says. "Can I see it?" + +Ben gives Sara the radish. She smells it and rubs it on her dress. "It is fresh and clean," she says. "Do you think we can eat it?" + +Ben shrugs. "I don't know. Maybe we should ask Mom." + +They run to the house with the radish. Mom is in the kitchen, making lunch. She sees them and smiles. + +"Hello, Sara and Ben. What do you have there?" she asks. + +"We found a radish in the garden, Mom!" Sara says. "Can we eat it?" + +Mom takes the radish and washes it under the tap. She cuts off the leaves and slices the root. She gives Sara and Ben each a piece. + +"Here you go. You can eat it. It is good for you. It has vitamins and minerals," she says. + +Sara and Ben bite the radish. They make a face. It is crunchy and spicy. + +"It is hot, Mom!" Sara says. + +"It is not hot, Sara. It is spicy. It has a strong flavor. Some people like it, some people don't. Do you like it?" Mom asks. + +Sara and Ben look at each other. They shake their heads. + +"No, Mom. We don't like it. It is too spicy for us," they say. + +Mom laughs. "That's okay. You don't have to eat it. You can have something else. I have some cheese and crackers available. Do you want some?" + +Sara and Ben nod. They put down the radish and take the cheese and crackers. They munch happily. + +"Thank you, Mom. We like cheese and crackers. They are yummy," they say. + +Mom hugs them. "You're welcome, Sara and Ben. I'm glad you like them. And I'm proud of you for finding and trying the radish. You are good explorers," she says. +Sara and Ben are playing outside in the snow. They make a big snowman with a hat and a scarf. They throw snowballs at each other and laugh. They are having fun. + +But soon they feel cold and tired. Their noses are red and their fingers are numb. They want to go inside and warm up. + +"Let's go home, Sara," Ben says. "We can rest and have some hot cocoa." + +"OK, Ben," Sara says. "But first we have to say goodbye to our snowman." + +They hug their snowman and thank him for playing with them. They promise to come back tomorrow. + +They run to their house and open the door. Their mom is waiting for them with a smile. + +"Hello, my sweeties," she says. "You look like snowflakes. Come here and let me dry you off." + +She gives them each a big towel and a warm sweater. She helps them take off their wet clothes and put on their dry ones. + +"Here you go," she says. "Now you are cozy and comfy. How about some hot cocoa and cookies?" + +"Yes, please, mom," Sara and Ben say. "You are the best." + +They sit on the couch and sip their hot cocoa. They eat their cookies and tell their mom about their snowman. They feel good and happy. + +They snuggle with their mom and their sweaters. They rest their eyes and their bodies. They fall asleep with a smile. +Anna and Ben are twins, but they are very different. Anna likes to eat salad and read books. Ben likes to eat pizza and play games. One day, their mom made salad for lunch and asked them to eat it. + +"Yuck, I don't like salad!" Ben said. He pushed his plate away and ran to his room. + +"Ben, come back here! You have to eat your salad or you will be punished!" Mom said. She was angry. + +Anna ate her salad quietly. She liked the green leaves and the red tomatoes. She thought salad was good for her. + +"Anna, you are a good girl. You can have a cookie after you finish your salad," Mom said. She smiled. + +Anna was happy. She thanked Mom and ate her salad. She wondered why Ben was so different from her. She hoped he would not be punished too much. She loved her brother, even if he did not like salad. +Tommy liked to eat pizza on Wednesday. It was his favorite food. He liked the cheese and the sauce and the bread. He did not like spicy things. They made his mouth hurt. + +One Wednesday, Mommy brought home a pizza for Tommy. But when he opened the box, he saw something red and green on the pizza. They were peppers. Tommy did not like peppers. They were spicy. + +Tommy frowned. He did not want to eat the pizza. He wanted a plain pizza. He told Mommy, "No peppers, please. They are spicy. I want plain pizza." + +Mommy smiled. She said, "Don't worry, Tommy. I have another pizza for you. It is plain. No peppers. I got the spicy pizza for Daddy. He likes spicy things. You can have the plain pizza." + +Tommy was happy. He said, "Thank you, Mommy. You are the best. I love plain pizza." He gave Mommy a hug and a kiss. Then he ate the plain pizza. It was yummy. He did not frown anymore. He smiled. +Anna and Ben were playing with their toy cars.

Anna said. + +"No, you're not, I'm faster!" Ben said. + +They drove their cars faster and faster, until they bumped into each other. Anna's car fell on its top and Ben's car rolled away. + +"Hey, that's not fair, you made my car fall!" Anna said. She was grumpy. + +"Sorry, it was an accident, I didn't mean to!" Ben said. He was grumpy too. + +They looked at each other and frowned. They didn't want to play anymore. They picked up their cars and sat on opposite sides of the room. + +Mom came in and saw them. She wondered what was wrong. + +"Why are you both so grumpy?" she asked. + +"Anna made my car roll away!" Ben said. + +"Ben made my car fall on its top!" Anna said. + +Mom smiled and hugged them. + +"It's okay, accidents happen sometimes. You don't have to be grumpy. You can share your cars and play nicely. How about you drive them to the park together and have some fun?" she said. + +Anna and Ben looked at each other and nodded. They were not grumpy anymore. They said sorry and gave each other a high five. They drove their cars to the park and had a lot of fun. +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play with cars and pencils. They have many cars and pencils in their room. One day, they want to drive their cars on the floor. But the floor is dirty. There are many papers and toys on the floor. + +"Let's clean the floor first," Lily says. "Then we can drive our cars better." + +"No, I don't want to clean," Tom says. "I want to drive now. You clean, I drive." + +Lily is sad. She thinks Tom is not nice. She starts to clean the floor. Tom drives his car on the floor. He does not see a pencil on the floor. He drives over the pencil. The pencil breaks. The car stops. Tom is angry. + +"Who put this pencil here?" Tom shouts. "It broke my car. It is your fault, Lily. You did not clean well." + +Lily is hurt. She says, "No, Tom. It is your fault. You did not help me clean. You were selfish. You only cared about your car. You did not care about me." + +Tom feels sorry. He sees that Lily is right. He says, "I'm sorry, Lily. You are right. I was selfish. I only cared about my car. I did not care about you. You are my friend. I should have helped you clean. Can you forgive me?" + +Lily smiles. She says, "Yes, Tom. I forgive you. You are my friend. I'm glad you are sorry. Let's fix your car and the pencil. Then we can drive together." + +Tom and Lily hug. They fix the car and the pencil. They clean the floor.

From that day on, Biff and the furry bunny were best friends. They would both move around the forest together and have lots of fun. + +The End. +Once upon a time there was a little girl. She was very troubled. She went for a walk in the woods and noticed a tree. She saw that the tree was stretching very high, almost as if it was trying to reach the sky. + +She wished she could stretch too, so she could be as tall as the tree. The little girl closed her eyes and wished very hard. Suddenly, the tree started to lower down until it was the same size as the little girl! + +The tree said in a friendly voice, "I know how much you wanted to stretch, so I made your wish come true". The little girl smiled and thanked the tree. She said, "This is the best day ever." + +And they both lived happily ever after. +Once upon a time there was a poor family. They had a lot of love, but only a little money. One day, the dad went out to buy some food. He could only afford a few potatoes and a little bit of milk. So the family had to be careful and spend their money wisely. + +The dad knew they needed more food, but he had very little money. So he was very careful when buying food that would last. He made sure to buy things that would not go to waste. + +The family was so poor, they could not afford to waste anything. Everything had to count, so they cut back on things they didn't need. They even had to eat the smallest meals so they would get more out of what they had. + +In the end, the family cleverly spent their money and were able to get through the tough times. They were glad they did not waste their money and were thankful for what they had. +Once upon a time there were two rabbits named Hop and Jump. Hop liked to read and Jump liked to keep busy. They were the best of friends. + +One morning, they thought it would be fun to try out something new. Hop wanted to write a story and Jump decided to help. So they went to the store to buy some ink. + +At home, they started to write with the ink. Hop thought about the story he wanted to tell. Jump focused on the words and spelling. + +They worked together for a very long time. In the end, they were successful. They had written a wonderful story and were both very proud. + +After the story was done, Jump said to Hop, "We did it! I'm so happy we were successful!" And Hop smiled and said, "Yes, we did it! We made our own story and it was fun!" +Once upon a time there was a bright steam engine. Every day it would deliver heavy cargo from one town to the next. + +One day, when the engine was taking its heavy cargo down a hill, it encountered an old man who was struggling to climb the hill with a cart full of vegetables. + +The engine asked the old man why he was struggling to climb the hill. The old man replied "I need to get these vegetables to the other side of the hill to the market by tomorrow or else I won't have money to buy food for my family." + +The steam engine saw the old man's predicament and agreed to help him. It delivered the old man and his vegetables to the market. + +The moral of this story is that helping others can make everyone feel a little brighter. +Once upon a time, there was a nosy old woman who wanted to find out all the news. Every day, she got out of bed, put on her shoes, and ran to the mailbox. +
