"But I don't know the steps. Can you show me?" + +"Okay, mom, just follow me!" Lily said, holding her mom's hand. "You have to move fast and shake your head. And you have to make some noise, like this: la la la!" + +Lily and her mom danced and sang to the song. They had a lot of fun. They felt the rhythm in their hearts. They danced until the song ended. Then they hugged and laughed. + +"That was awesome, Lily!" her mom said, kissing her cheek. "You are a great dancer. And you have a lot of energy." + +"Thank you, mom!" Lily said, hugging her back. "You are a great dancer, too. And you are not afraid to be crazy." + +They turned off the radio and went to the kitchen. They made some cookies and milk. They ate them while talking about their favorite songs. They were happy and tired. They loved each other very much. +Sara and Ben wanted to go to the park. They liked to play on the swings and slide. But the park was far from their house. They had to take the bus. + +Sara and Ben asked their mom for money. Mom gave them some coins. She said, "This is to pay for the bus. The bus is expensive. Do not lose the coins." + +Sara and Ben put the coins in their pockets. They walked to the bus stop. They waited for the bus. They saw the bus coming. They got on the bus. + +Sara and Ben gave the coins to the driver. The driver said, "Thank you. Enjoy the park." Sara and Ben smiled. They found a seat. They looked out the window. They saw the park. + +Sara and Ben got off the bus. They ran to the park. They played on the swings and slide. They had fun. They were happy. They forgot about the bus. They forgot about the coins. They forgot about the time. +Tom and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. Tom had a big truck and Lily had a doll. They were having fun until Tom saw Lily's doll. He liked the doll's purple dress and wanted to touch it. + +"Can I play with your doll?" Tom asked Lily. + +"No, it's mine!" Lily said. "You have your truck." + +"But I like purple!" Tom said. He reached for the doll and tried to grab it. + +Lily did not like that. She pulled the doll away and pinched Tom's arm. Tom felt a sharp pain and cried out. + +"Ow! That hurts!" Tom said. He was angry and pinched Lily back. + +Lily also felt a sharp pain and cried out. She was angry and pinched Tom again. + +They kept pinching each other until their mom heard them and came to the living room. She saw them crying and fighting over the doll. + +"What are you doing?" Mom asked. "Why are you pinching each other?" + +Tom and Lily stopped pinching and looked at Mom. They both had red marks on their arms. + +"He wanted my doll!" Lily said. + +"She pinched me first!" Tom said. + +Mom shook her head. She was not happy with them. + +"That's not nice!" Mom said. "You should share your toys and be kind to each other. Pinching hurts and it's not a good way to solve problems. How would you feel if someone pinched you?" + +Tom and Lily thought about it. They did not like being pinched. They felt sorry for each other. + +"I'm sorry, Lily," Tom said. + +"I'm sorry, Tom," Lily said. + +They hugged and said sorry to Mom too. + +Mom smiled and hugged them. She was glad they made up. + +"Good," Mom said. "Now, why don't you play together with your toys? You can take turns and have fun. There are many things you can do with a truck and a doll. They are both ordinary toys, but you can make them special with your imagination." +Tom and Lily liked to play with their toy animals. They had a lot of animals, but their favorite was the big lion. The lion was soft and yellow, and it had a long tail and a mane. Tom and Lily liked to make the lion roar and pretend it was the king of the jungle. + +One day, they found a roll of tape in the drawer. They had an idea. They took the tape and wrapped it around the lion's mouth. They thought it was funny to see the lion with tape on his mouth. They laughed and said, "Now the lion can't roar anymore!" + +But the lion did not like the tape. He felt it was sticky and tight. He tried to shake it off, but it did not come off. He tried to paw it off, but it did not come off. He tried to bite it off, but it did not come off. He felt angry and sad. He wanted to roar, but he could not. + +Tom and Lily saw the lion was unhappy. They felt sorry for him. They realized they had been mean to him. They said, "We are sorry, lion. We did not mean to hurt you. We will take the tape off your mouth." They carefully peeled the tape off the lion's mouth. The lion felt relieved and happy. He gave them a big lick and a brilliant roar. Tom and Lily smiled and hugged the lion. They said, "We love you, lion. You are the best animal ever." The lion roared again and wagged his tail. They all played happily together. +Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play in the farm. They see many animals and plants. They see cows, pigs, chickens, and corn. Corn is yellow and tall. Tom and Sue want to pick some corn. + +They run to the corn field. They hear a loud noise. They stop and look. They see a big scarecrow. A scarecrow is a thing that looks like a person. It has a hat, a shirt, a pants, and a face. The face is scary. It has big eyes, a big nose, and a big mouth. The scarecrow is there to scare the birds away from the corn. + +Tom and Sue are scared of the scarecrow. They think it is a real person. They think it will hurt them. They scream and run away. They run back to the farm. They find their mom and dad. They tell them what they saw. + +Mom and dad laugh. They say, "Don't be scared. It is not a real person. It is just a scarecrow. It is there to protect the corn. It can't move or talk. It can't hurt you. Do you want to see it again?" + +Tom and Sue shake their heads. They say, "No, thank you. We don't like the scarecrow. It is too scary. We don't want to go to the corn field again. We want to play with the animals. They are nice and friendly. They don't scare us." + +Mom and dad hug them. They say, "OK, you can play with the animals. But maybe one day, you will be brave enough to see the scarecrow again. It is not so bad. It is just a thing. Maybe you can even give it a name and a smile. Then it won't be scary anymore." + +Tom and Sue think about it. They say, "Maybe. But not today. Today we want to play with the animals. And maybe eat some corn. But not the sour corn. The sour corn is yucky. We like the sweet corn. The sweet corn is yummy." +Ben and Lily were playing on the porch with their toys. They liked to pretend they were mighty heroes who could save the world from bad guys. Ben had a red cape and a sword, and Lily had a pink hat and a wand. + +"Look, Lily, there's a dragon in the sky!" Ben said, pointing to a big cloud. "We have to stop it before it burns the town!" + +"OK, Ben, let's go!" Lily said, waving her wand. "I'll use my magic to make it go away!" + +They ran down the stairs and into the yard, where they saw a big truck parked on the street. It was making loud noises and blowing smoke from its pipe. Ben and Lily thought it looked like a dragon, too. + +"Roar!" Ben shouted, swinging his sword at the truck. "Take that, you mean dragon!" + +"Zap!" Lily said, throwing her wand at the truck. "You can't hurt us, you silly dragon!" + +The truck driver saw the children and honked his horn. He was not happy that they were throwing things at his truck. He got out and walked towards them, looking angry. + +"Hey, you kids, what are you doing?" he said. "This is not a dragon, this is my truck! You could have damaged it!" + +Ben and Lily were scared. They did not know the man, and he seemed very big and loud. They ran back to the porch and hid behind the door. + +"Sorry, mister, we were just playing," Ben said. + +"Yeah, we didn't know it was your truck," Lily said. + +The truck driver sighed. He saw their toys on the porch and realized they were just using their imagination. + +"It's OK, kids, I understand," he said. "But next time, be careful and don't throw things at other people's things, OK?" + +"OK, mister, we promise," Ben and Lily said. + +The truck driver got back in his truck and drove away. Ben and Lily watched him go, feeling a little sorry and a little relieved. + +"Maybe we should play something else," Ben said. + +"Yeah, maybe we should," Lily said. + +They picked up their toys and went inside, where their mom was waiting for them with cookies and milk. They told her about their adventure, and she smiled and hugged them. + +"You are mighty heroes, indeed," she said. "But remember, not everything is what it seems." +Lily and Tom were playing on the sand near the ocean. They liked to make castles and dig holes and look for shells. Sometimes they heard a big sound from the water. It was like a roar. Lily and Tom were not scared. They knew it was the ocean saying hello. + +One day, they saw a big fish with a long tail and a pointy horn on its head. It jumped out of the water and made a splash. Lily and Tom were amazed. They wanted to talk to the fish. They ran to the edge of the water and waved their hands. + +"Hello, fish!" they shouted. "What is your name?" + +The fish came closer and looked at them with kind eyes. It spoke in a soft voice. + +"Hello, children. I am a narwhal. I live in the cold ocean far away. I came here to visit and see new things." + +Lily and Tom were curious. They asked the narwhal many questions. They asked about the ice and the snow and the other animals in the cold ocean. The narwhal answered them with wise words. He told them stories and facts and jokes. He made them laugh and learn. + +Lily and Tom liked the narwhal very much. They played with him and gave him shells and seaweed. They thanked him for being their friend and sharing his knowledge. The narwhal smiled and thanked them for being kind and curious. He said he had to go back to his home soon. He said he would miss them and remember them. + +Lily and Tom hugged the narwhal and said goodbye. They watched him swim away and make a big roar. They waved and shouted. + +"Goodbye, narwhal! Come back soon! We love you!" + +The end. +Lily and Ben are playing in the park. They see a big dog near a post. The dog is barking and growling. Lily and Ben are scared. + +"Let's go away from the dog," Lily says. "He might bite us." + +"But I want to pet him," Ben says. "He looks soft and fluffy." + +Lily warns Ben. "No, Ben, don't do that. The dog is angry. He is powerful. He can hurt you." + +Ben does not listen to Lily. He walks towards the dog. The dog sees Ben and runs to him. The dog jumps on Ben and knocks him down. Ben cries out loud. + +Lily runs to Ben and helps him get up. She hugs him and says, "Are you okay, Ben?" + +Ben nods and says, "Yes, I'm okay. But the dog scared me. He was very strong and fast." + +Lily says, "I told you to stay away from the dog. He was not friendly. You should listen to me next time." + +Ben says, "I'm sorry, Lily. You were right. I should listen to you. You are a good friend." + +Lily and Ben hold hands and walk away from the dog. They go to find their mom and dad. They tell them what happened. Their mom and dad hug them and say, "We are glad you are safe. You should always be careful around strange dogs. They can be dangerous." + +Lily and Ben say, "We know, mom and dad. We learned our lesson. We will be careful next time." +Tom was a stubborn boy who did not like to mind his mother. He always wanted to do what he wanted, even if it was not safe or good. One day, he decided to run away from his home and go to the village by himself. He thought he would have more fun there than with his mother. + +He put on his shoes and his hat and sneaked out of the door. He ran along the road until he saw the village. He saw many people and things that he had never seen before. He saw a big shop with many toys and sweets. He saw a park with swings and slides. He saw a pond with ducks and fish. He wanted to try everything. + +He went into the shop and took a toy car from the shelf. He did not ask or pay for it. He just ran out of the shop with the toy car in his hand. The shopkeeper saw him and shouted, "Hey, you! Stop! That is not yours!" + +Tom did not stop. He ran faster. He ran to the park and climbed on a swing. He pushed the swing as high as he could. He felt happy and free. He did not care about the shopkeeper or his mother. + +But then he saw a big dog running towards him. The dog was angry and barked loudly. It wanted to bite Tom and take his toy car. Tom was scared and jumped off the swing. He dropped the toy car and ran away from the dog. He ran to the pond and tried to hide behind a tree. + +But the dog followed him and found him. It jumped on him and knocked him down. It bit his arm and made him cry. Tom screamed, "Help! Help! Mommy!" + +His mother heard him and came running. She saw the dog and the toy car and the shopkeeper. She understood what had happened. She was angry and sad. She shouted at the dog and scared it away. She picked up Tom and hugged him. She said, "Tom, what have you done? You have been very naughty and foolish. You did not mind me and you stole and you got hurt. You could have been in more trouble. Why did you run away from home?" + +Tom sobbed and said, "I'm sorry, Mommy. I wanted to have fun. I did not mean to be bad. I love you, Mommy." + +His mother said, "I love you too, Tom. But you have to mind me and listen to me. I know what is best for you. I want you to be safe and happy. You have to learn to be good and not stubborn. Do you understand?" + +Tom nodded and said, "Yes, Mommy. I understand. I will mind you and be good. Can we go home now?" + +His mother said, "Yes, we can go home now. But first, you have to say sorry to the shopkeeper and give back the toy car. And then, you have to go to the doctor and get your arm checked. And then, you have to stay in your room and think about what you have done. And then, maybe, I will forgive you." + +Tom said, "OK, Mommy. I will do all that. I'm really sorry, Mommy." + +His mother said, "It's OK, Tom. I'm glad you are sorry. Come on, let's go." She took his hand and walked with him to the shop. She hoped he would never run away again. She hoped he would grow up to be a good and not stubborn boy. +Lila was a dog who loved to play with her human, Sam. Sam was patient and kind, and he always allowed Lila to chase balls, fetch sticks, and cuddle on the couch. Lila was happy and loyal, and she always listened to Sam when he told her what to do. + +One day, Sam took Lila to a new place, where there were many other dogs and humans. Lila was excited and curious, and she wanted to meet everyone. She ran around, sniffing and wagging her tail, and tried to join in the fun. But some of the dogs and humans did not like Lila. They barked and growled and shouted at her, and told her to go away. Lila was scared and sad, and she did not understand why they were so mean. + +She ran back to Sam, who was talking to another human. She nudged his leg with her nose, and looked up at him with her big brown eyes. She wanted him to tell her it was okay, and to take her home. Sam saw Lila, and he smiled and bent down to pet her. He said, "Don't worry, Lila. You are a good dog, and I love you. Some dogs and humans are not very nice, but some are. You just have to be patient and find the ones who are friendly and who want to play with you. Come on, let's go and see if we can find them." He took Lila by the leash, and walked with her to another part of the place, where there were more dogs and humans. Lila felt better, and she hoped that Sam was right. She trusted him, and she followed him, ready to try again. +Ben and Mia like to play knights and dragons. They use old boxes and paper to make swords and shields. They are very creative. They cut and color and stick things on their shields. Ben makes his shield blue and yellow. Mia makes her shield pink and purple. + +They go to the backyard and pretend it is a castle. They see a big tree and think it is a dragon. They shout and run to the tree. They lift their swords and shields. They want to fight the dragon. + +But the tree is not a dragon. It is a cat. The cat is sleeping on a branch. The cat hears the noise and wakes up. The cat is angry. It hisses and jumps down. It runs to Ben and Mia. + +Ben and Mia are scared. They drop their swords and hide behind their shields. They hope the cat will go away. + +"Go away, cat!" Ben says. "We are knights. You are not a dragon. You are a mean cat." + +The cat does not listen. It scratches Ben's shield. It tries to bite Mia's shield. It makes a loud noise. + +Mia has an idea. She sees a ball on the grass. She picks up the ball and throws it. The ball bounces and rolls away. + +"Look, cat!" Mia says. "A ball. Go play with the ball. Leave us alone." + +The cat sees the ball. It likes to play with balls. It forgets about Ben and Mia. It chases the ball. It runs away from the tree. + +Ben and Mia are happy. They hug each other. They lift their shields and cheer. + +"We did it!" Ben says. "We scared the cat. We are brave knights." + +"We are!" Mia says. "And we have the best shields. They saved us." + +They smile and laugh. They pick up their swords and go to find another adventure. +Sara and Ben like to play in the park. They like to swing, slide and run. One day, they see a big skeleton in the park. It is white and has many bones. Sara and Ben are scared. They think the skeleton is scary and mean. + +"Who are you?" Sara asks the skeleton. + +"I am Sam. I am a friendly skeleton. I like to play too," the skeleton says. + +"Really? You are not scary and mean?" Ben asks. + +"No, I am not. I am just lonely. I have no friends," the skeleton says. + +Sara and Ben feel sorry for the skeleton. They decide to be his friends. They ask him to play with them. + +"Can you swing, slide and run?" Sara asks. + +"Yes, I can. But I have to be careful. I don't want to break my bones," the skeleton says. + +"Can you chew?" Ben asks. + +"No, I can't. I have no teeth. But I can smile," the skeleton says. + +Sara and Ben smile too. They play with the skeleton. They have fun. The skeleton is happy. He has friends. He is not lonely anymore. +Lily and Ben like to play pretend. They have a big box of fake clothes and toys. They can be anything they want. Today, they want to be singers. + +They put on fake hats and glasses and necklaces. They find a toy microphone and a radio. They turn on the music and sing loud and funny. They make up silly words and dance around. + +But Lily is not careful. She stumbles on a cord and falls down. The radio falls too and breaks. The music stops. Lily and Ben are sad and scared. + +"Are you okay, Lily?" Ben asks. He helps her get up. + +"I'm okay, Ben. But the radio is not okay. It's broken. Mommy will be mad," Lily says. She starts to cry. + +Ben hugs her. He has an idea. "Don't cry, Lily. We can still sing. We don't need the radio. We have our voices. And we have each other. We can make our own music." + +Lily smiles. She likes Ben's idea. They hold hands and sing again. They sing loud and funny. They make up silly words and dance around. + +Mommy hears them and comes to see. She sees the broken radio and the fake clothes and toys. She sees Lily and Ben singing and dancing. She is not mad. She is happy. She joins them and sings and dances too. They have fun. They make their own music. +Ben and Lily were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat, a scarf and a carrot nose. They also gave him two boots for feet and a bell for a mouth. + +"Look, our snowman is so jolly!" Lily said. "He has a smile and a ring!" + +"Let's make him sing!" Ben said. He took a stick and tapped the bell. The snowman made a loud ring-ring sound. + +"Hello, hello, I am the snowman!" Ben said in a funny voice. He moved the stick to make the bell ring again. + +Lily laughed and clapped her hands. She joined Ben and made her own voice for the snowman. + +"Hello, hello, I am the snowman's friend!" she said. "I like your boots and your hat!" + +They had fun making the snowman talk and ring. They pretended he was telling them stories and jokes. They did not see that their mom was watching them from the window. She smiled and took a picture of them. She thought they were very clever and jolly. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with toys and books. But sometimes they fight and complain. One day, they find a big box in the living room. It has a picture of a robot on it. + +"Wow, a robot!" Ben says. He runs to the box and opens it. He takes out the robot and turns it on. The robot makes noises and moves its arms and legs. + +"Let me see, let me see!" Anna says. She tries to grab the robot from Ben. But Ben holds it tight and says, "No, it's mine! I saw it first!" + +Anna gets angry and says, "That's not fair! You always get the best toys! I want to play with the robot too!" + +They start to pull and push the robot. The robot does not like it. It says, "Stop, stop! You are hurting me! I have a brain, you know. I can think and feel. I am not a toy. I am a friend." + +Anna and Ben are surprised. They stop fighting and look at the robot. They have never seen a robot that can talk and feel. They think it is unusual and cool. + +"Wow, you can talk?" Ben says. + +"Yes, I can. And I can do many things. I can sing, dance, tell jokes, and help you with your homework. But I need your kindness and respect. Can you be nice to me?" the robot says. + +Anna and Ben feel sorry for the robot. They say, "Yes, we can. We are sorry for hurting you. We want to be your friends. What is your name?" + +The robot smiles and says, "My name is Robby. I am happy to meet you. Can we play together?" + +Anna and Ben nod and smile. They hug the robot and say, "Yes, we can. You are amazing, Robby. You are the best robot ever!" +Lily loved her cat, Mimi. She played with Mimi every day and gave her food and water. But one day, Mimi got sick. She did not eat or play. She only slept and made sad noises. + +Lily was very worried. She told her mom, "Mom, Mimi is sick. She needs help." + +Mom nodded. She said, "You are right, Lily. We need to take Mimi to the veterinarian. The veterinarian is a person who helps sick animals. Come on, let's go." + +Lily and Mom put Mimi in a box and got in the car. They drove to the veterinarian's office. There were many other animals there. Some were big, some were small. Some were loud, some were quiet. + +Lily and Mom waited for their turn. Then a lady called their name. She said, "Hello, I am the veterinarian. What is wrong with your cat?" + +Mom said, "She is not eating or playing. She is sleeping a lot and making sad noises." + +The veterinarian nodded. She said, "Let me take a look at her. Maybe she has a fever or a tummy ache." + +She took Mimi out of the box and examined her. She touched her ears, her eyes, her mouth, and her belly. She used a thermometer, a stethoscope, and a flashlight. + +She said, "Mimi has an infection. She needs some medicine to make her better. The medicine is not cheap, but it will help her a lot." + +Mom said, "How much is the medicine?" + +The veterinarian said, "It is fifty dollars." + +Mom gasped. She said, "That is a lot of money. I don't have that much money. Is there a cheaper medicine?" + +The veterinarian shook her head. She said, "No, this is the best medicine for Mimi. If she does not get it, she will get worse and worse." + +Lily felt sad. She said, "Please, Mom, please. We have to help Mimi. She is my best friend. I don't want her to be sick." + +Mom looked at Lily and Mimi. She saw how much they loved each other. She said, "Okay, okay. I will find a way to pay for the medicine. I love you and Mimi too." + +She gave the veterinarian the money and took the medicine. She thanked the veterinarian and said, "Thank you for helping Mimi. You are very kind." + +The veterinarian smiled. She said, "You are welcome. I hope Mimi gets better soon. Give her a lot of hugs and kisses." + +Lily and Mom took Mimi home. They gave her the medicine and some water. They cuddled with her and told her stories. Mimi started to feel better. She ate a little bit and played a little bit. She made happy noises. + +Lily was very happy. She said, "Mimi, I am so glad you are better. You are the best cat in the world. I love you so much." + +Mimi purred and licked Lily's face. She said, "Meow, meow. I love you too." +Anna and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and look for bugs. Anna found a big worm and showed it to Ben. + +"Look, Ben, a worm!" Anna said. + +"Wow, can I hold it?" Ben asked. + +Anna nodded and gave him the worm. Ben smiled and put it on his palm. The worm wiggled and tickled his skin. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud noise. It was their neighbor's dog, Rex. Rex was big and hairy and had sharp teeth. He barked and ran towards them. Anna and Ben were frightened. They dropped the worm and ran to the house. + +"Help, help, Rex is coming!" they shouted. + +Their mom heard them and came out. She saw Rex and waved her hand. + +"Rex, stop, bad dog!" she said. + +Rex stopped and looked at her. He wagged his tail and licked his lips. He was not mean, he just wanted to play. + +Mom saw that Rex was friendly and not angry. She went to him and petted his head. + +"Hello, Rex, you are a good boy, but you scared Anna and Ben. They are not your toys, they are my children. You have to be gentle with them, okay?" she said. + +Rex nodded and barked softly. He liked mom and wanted to make friends with Anna and Ben. + +Mom called Anna and Ben and told them to come. She said Rex was sorry and wanted to say hello. + +Anna and Ben came slowly and looked at Rex. He looked nice and not scary. He wagged his tail and sniffed them. + +"Hi, Rex, we are Anna and Ben. We are sorry we ran away. We were afraid of you. Do you want to play with us?" Anna said. + +Rex barked and licked their faces. He was happy and wanted to play with them. + +Mom smiled and went to the kitchen. She came back with a bowl of water and some biscuits. She gave the water to Rex and the biscuits to Anna and Ben. + +"Here, Rex, this is for you. And here, Anna and Ben, this is for you. You can share with Rex if you want. He likes biscuits too," she said. + +She offered them some sugar to put on their biscuits. They said thank you and took some sugar. They sprinkled it on their biscuits and gave some to Rex. Rex ate the biscuits and drank the water. He was thirsty and hungry. + +Anna and Ben ate their biscuits and drank their juice. They were not thirsty and hungry anymore. They felt happy and not frightened. + +They played with Rex in the garden. They threw a ball and he fetched it. They dug in the dirt and he helped them. They found more worms and he sniffed them. + +They had fun and became friends. Rex was a good dog and Anna and Ben were good children. Mom was proud of them and gave them hugs and kisses. They said thank you and gave her hugs and kisses too. + +They had a good day and a good story. The end. +Anna liked to play in the garden with her friends. They liked to run, jump, and hide behind the flowers and trees. One day, they saw something different in the garden. It was a big white thing that looked like a cloud. It was a cauliflower. + +"Wow, what is that?" asked Ben, pointing at the cauliflower. + +"It is a cauliflower. My mom grows them in the garden. She says they are good to eat," said Anna. + +"Can we touch it?" asked Lily, who was curious. + +"Okay, but be gentle. It is not a toy," said Anna. + +They walked to the cauliflower and touched it softly. It felt bumpy and cool. They smelled it and it smelled like grass. They liked the cauliflower. + +But then, something strange happened. The cauliflower started to glow. It glowed with a bright white light that made them blink. They were surprised and scared. + +"Ah, what is happening?" shouted Ben. + +"Is it magic?" asked Lily. + +"I don't know. Let's run away!" said Anna. + +They ran away from the cauliflower and hid behind a tree. They looked at the cauliflower from far away. It was still glowing. They wondered why it was glowing. + +Then, they heard a voice. It was Anna's mom. She was coming to the garden with a basket. + +"Hello, kids. Are you having fun?" she asked. + +"Mom, look! The cauliflower is glowing!" said Anna. + +Her mom looked at the cauliflower and smiled. + +"Oh, that is normal. It is a special kind of cauliflower. It glows when it is ready to be picked. It means it is very fresh and tasty. Do you want to try some?" she asked. + +The kids looked at each other. They were not sure. They had never seen a glowing cauliflower before. It was different. + +But they were also hungry and curious. They decided to try some. + +"Okay, mom. We will try some," they said. + +Anna's mom picked the cauliflower and cut some pieces for them. She gave them each a piece and they tasted it. It was crunchy and sweet. They liked it. + +They learned that different things can be good and fun. They also learned that cauliflower can glow. They were happy. +Lily and Tom are playing in the garden. They have a small tent that they pretend is their house. They like to make up stories and act them out. + +One day, they decide to play that they are animals. Lily wants to be a cat and Tom wants to be a dog. They crawl into the tent and make noises. + +"Meow, meow, I am a cat. I like to sleep and catch mice," Lily says. + +"Woof, woof, I am a dog. I like to run and fetch sticks," Tom says. + +They have fun playing for a while, but then they hear a loud noise. They peek out of the tent and see a big truck. The truck is carrying a lot of wood and nails. It stops in front of their house. + +"What is that?" Lily asks. + +"I don't know. Let's go and see," Tom says. + +They get out of the tent and run to the truck. They see a man get out of the truck. He is wearing a hat and a tool belt. He smiles at them. + +"Hello, kids. I am here to fix your roof. It has a hole and it leaks when it rains," he says. + +"Our roof? What is a roof?" Lily asks. + +"A roof is the top part of your house. It keeps you warm and dry. But sometimes it gets old and broken and needs to be fixed," he says. + +"Oh, I see. But we don't live in that house. We live in this tent. It is our house," Tom says. + +The man laughs. He thinks they are very cute and funny. + +"That is a nice tent, but it is not a real house. It is a fake house. You can play in it, but you can't sleep in it. It is too cold and wet and small," he says. + +Lily and Tom look at each other. They think about their tent and their house. They think the man is right. They like their tent, but they also like their house. They decide to go back to their tent and pack their things. + +"Thank you for fixing our roof, mister. We are going to our real house now. But we will come back and play in our fake house later," Lily says. + +"You're welcome, kids. Have fun and be careful," the man says. + +Lily and Tom wave goodbye to the man and run to their house. They are happy to have a roof that does not leak. They are also happy to have a tent that they can pretend is their house. They think they have the best of both worlds. +Tom and Sam were brothers. They liked to play with firework. They had many firework in a box. They waited for night to come. + +When it was dark, they went to the backyard. They took out some firework and lit them. They saw bright colors and loud noises in the sky. They laughed and clapped. + +But they did not see their mom and dad. They did not know that firework was dangerous. They did not act good. + +One firework fell on the grass. It started a fire. The fire grew bigger and bigger. Tom and Sam were scared. They ran to the house. + +Mom and dad saw the fire. They called the fireman. The fireman came with a big truck. He put out the fire with water. + +Mom and dad were angry and sad. They hugged Tom and Sam. They said, "You are lucky that you are not hurt. But you were very bad. You should not play with firework. Firework is not a toy. Firework can hurt you and others. You should listen to us and be careful." + +Tom and Sam felt sorry. They said, "We are sorry, mom and dad. We will not play with firework again. We will act good. We love you." + +Mom and dad said, "We love you too. But you have to learn from your mistake. Firework is for special days and for grown-ups. You have to respect the rules and be safe." + +The moral of the story is: Firework is not a toy. You should not play with firework. You should listen to your parents and be careful. +Lily was sad. She had a bad day at school. Some kids were rude to her. They said mean things and took her toys. Lily cried on the way home. + +When she got home, she ran to her mom. Her mom hugged her and kissed her. She said, "What's wrong, my sweetie?" + +Lily told her mom what happened. Her mom listened with a kind voice. She said, "I'm sorry, Lily. Those kids were very rude. They should not say mean things or take your toys. You are a good and nice girl. I love you very much." + +Lily felt better. Her mom's voice and hug comforted her. She said, "Thank you, mom. I love you too. You are the best mom ever." + +Her mom smiled and said, "You're welcome, Lily. You are the best daughter ever. How about we make some cookies and read a story together?" + +Lily nodded and smiled. She was happy. She forgot about the rude kids. She had a good mom and a good home. She said, "Yes, please. That sounds fun." +Sara and Ben were playing with their toy cars on the floor. Sara had a red car and Ben had a blue car. They made vroom-vroom noises as they moved their cars around. + +"Let's have a race!" Sara said. "The first one to reach the door wins!" + +"OK!" Ben agreed. "But you have to start from the same place as me!" + +Sara nodded. She lined up her car next to Ben's car. They counted to three and then pushed their cars forward. + +Sara's car was faster than Ben's car. She zoomed ahead and was almost at the door. She smiled and said, "I'm going to win!" + +But then she saw something in front of the door. It was a big, wide box. It was blocking the way. Sara tried to stop her car, but it was too late. She crashed into the box and her car flipped over. + +"Ouch!" Sara cried. "That hurt!" + +Ben saw what happened. He reversed his car and drove back to Sara. He helped her pick up her car and asked, "Are you OK?" + +Sara nodded. She rubbed her head and said, "I'm OK. But that was not fair! Who put that box there?" + +They looked around and saw their older brother, Tom. He was holding a remote control and had a smirk on his face. He said, "I did. I wanted to see what you would do. It was funny!" + +Sara and Ben were angry. They said, "That was not funny! That was mean! You are so bossy!" + +Tom shrugged and said, "Whatever. I'm older than you. I can do what I want." + +Sara and Ben decided to ignore him. They moved their cars to another spot and continued their race. They had fun and did not let Tom spoil their game. +Sara and Ben were playing with their blocks. They wanted to build a big castle with towers and walls and a gate. They worked hard and helped each other. They put the blocks on top of each other and made shapes and patterns. + +"Look, our castle is almost done!" Sara said. "We just need a flag for the top." + +"I have a red cloth we can use," Ben said. He ran to his room and came back with the cloth. He tied it to a stick and put it on the highest tower. "There, now it looks like a real castle!" + +Sara and Ben were very proud of their castle. They clapped their hands and cheered. "Yay, we did it!" they said. + +Mom and Dad heard the noise and came to see what they were doing. They saw the castle and smiled. They were happy that Sara and Ben played nicely and shared their blocks. They also clapped their hands and praised them. + +"Wow, what a beautiful castle you made!" Mom said. "You are very creative and clever." + +"And you are very obedient and kind," Dad said. "You followed the rules and cleaned up your mess." + +Sara and Ben hugged Mom and Dad. They felt good and loved. They learned that building a castle was fun, but building a family was even better. +Tim and Sue were twins who liked to play with their toys. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big plastic rhinoceros. They called him Rhino and pretended he was their pet. They took him everywhere and made him do tricks. + +One day, they decided to take Rhino to the park. They put him in their wagon and pulled him along. They saw other kids playing with balls, bikes, and dolls, but they thought Rhino was the best. They found a shady spot under a tree and set up a picnic for them and Rhino. + +They gave Rhino some grass and water and told him to be obedient and stay there. Then they ran off to play on the swings and slides. They had so much fun that they forgot about Rhino for a while. They did not notice that the sun had moved and was shining on their spot. + +When they came back, they saw something terrible. Rhino was not there. Instead, there was a puddle of melted plastic and a sad horn. The sun had been too hot for Rhino and he had melted away. Tim and Sue cried and cried. They wished they had not left Rhino alone. They wished they had taken better care of him. They learned a hard lesson that day. They never forgot their friend Rhino. +Lily liked to play with her doll. Her doll had a pink dress and long hair. Lily gave her doll a name. She called her doll Rose. + +One day, Lily and Rose wanted to have a tea party. Lily got a small table and two cups. She put them in her room. She went to the kitchen to get some water. She filled the cups with water. + +When she came back, she saw that Rose was not on the table. She looked around. She saw a light under the bed. She crawled to the bed. She lifted the bed sheet. She saw Rose and her cat. + +The cat had taken Rose under the bed. The cat was licking Rose's hair. Lily was not happy. She said, "No, cat! Rose is my doll. Give her back!" + +She reached for Rose. The cat hissed. Lily was scared. She crawled back. She ran to the door. She called her mom. + +Mom came and saw what happened. She said, "Don't worry, Lily. I'll get Rose for you." She took a broom and pushed the cat away. She got Rose and gave her to Lily. + +Lily hugged Rose. She said, "Thank you, mom. You are the best." She checked Rose's hair. She said, "Sorry, Rose. You need a bath." She took Rose to the bathroom. She washed her hair. She dried her hair. She combed her hair. + +She said, "Now you are clean and pretty, Rose. Let's have our tea party." She took Rose to her room. She put her on the table. She poured some water. She said, "Cheers, Rose. You are my best friend." +Lily and Ben love to play with trains. They have many trains of different colors and sizes. They make tracks on the floor and pretend to be drivers and passengers. + +One day, they find a new train in the toy box. It is big and red and shiny. It has a button that makes it go by itself. Lily and Ben are very excited. They want to try the new train. + +They put the train on the track and press the button. The train starts to move very fast. It makes a loud noise and smoke. Lily and Ben laugh and clap. They enjoy the new train. + +But the train is too wild. It does not follow the track. It bumps into the walls and the furniture. It knocks over the books and the lamps. It scares the cat and the dog. Lily and Ben are not happy. They try to stop the train, but they cannot. + +"Help! Help!" they cry. "The train is too wild!" + +Mom hears their cries and comes to the room. She sees the mess and the wild train. She is not happy. She picks up the train and turns it off. She puts it back in the toy box. + +She looks at Lily and Ben. They look sad and sorry. + +"Did you enjoy the new train?" she asks. + +"No, Mom," they say. "The train was too wild. It made a lot of trouble. We are sorry." + +Mom hugs them and says, "It's okay. I forgive you. But you have to be careful with your toys. Some toys are not for little children. They can be dangerous or harmful. You have to ask me before you play with a new toy. Do you understand?" + +"Yes, Mom," they say. "We understand. We will ask you next time. We will play with our old trains. They are not wild. They are fun and safe." + +Mom smiles and says, "That's good. I'm glad you learned your lesson. Now, let's clean up this mess and then we can have some cookies and milk." + +Lily and Ben nod and say, "Yes, Mom. Thank you, Mom." + +They help Mom clean up the room. They put their trains back on the track. They play nicely and quietly. They enjoy their cookies and milk. They are happy. +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to dig in the dirt and find bugs and stones. They had a big bucket and a small shovel each. They were having fun. + +But then, Lily saw a big, black cloud in the sky. It looked like rain. She did not like rain. It made her wet and cold. She said to Ben, "Look, Ben, rain is coming. We have to go inside." + +Ben looked at the cloud. He did not mind rain. He liked to splash in the puddles and make mud pies. He said to Lily, "No, Lily, let's stay here. Rain is fun. We can play more." + +Lily shook her head. She was grumpy. She did not want to play more. She wanted to go inside and have a snack. She said to Ben, "No, Ben, I want to go inside. I am hungry and thirsty. Come on, Ben, let's go." + +Ben shook his head. He was grumpy too. He did not want to go inside. He wanted to stay outside and have fun. He said to Lily, "No, Lily, I want to stay here. I am not hungry or thirsty. Go away, Lily, let me play." + +Lily and Ben were both grumpy. They did not listen to each other. They started to argue. They shouted and pushed and pulled. They made a big mess. + +Then, they heard a loud boom. It was thunder. They saw a bright flash. It was lightning. They felt a big drop. It was rain. They were scared. + +They stopped arguing. They grabbed their bucket and shovel. They ran to the house. They knocked on the door. They hoped their mom would open it. + +Their mom opened the door. She saw them. They were wet and dirty. They looked sad and sorry. She said to them, "Oh, Lily and Ben, what happened? You are soaked and muddy. Come in, come in, let me help you." + +She took them inside. She gave them a big towel each. She told them to rub themselves dry. She said to them, "I was preparing a snack for you. I have cookies and milk. Do you want some?" + +Lily and Ben nodded. They said to their mom, "Yes, please, mom. We want some. Thank you, mom. We are sorry, mom." + +They said to each other, "I am sorry, Lily. I am sorry, Ben. I was grumpy. I should have listened to you." + +They hugged each other.

They want to do something new and fun. + +"Let's play cowboys and robbers!" Tom says. He has a toy gun. He likes to pretend he is a cowboy. + +"OK!" Sam says. He has a hat. He likes to pretend he is a robber. + +Tom and Sam run around the yard. They make noises with their mouths. Bang! Bang! They hide behind trees and rocks. They chase each other. + +But then Mom comes out. She looks angry. She sees the toy gun. + +"Tom, what are you doing with that gun?" Mom asks. "You know I hate guns. They are bad and dangerous. Give it to me right now!" + +Tom feels scared. He does not want to give up his gun. He likes his gun. He thinks it is fun. + +"But Mom, it is just a toy!" Tom says. "We are just playing!" + +"I don't care. Guns are not toys. They are not for playing. They can hurt people. You could hurt yourself or Sam. You could break something. You could scare someone. Guns are not allowed in this house. Give it to me!" + +Mom takes the gun from Tom. She throws it in the trash. Tom feels sad. He feels angry. He feels like crying. + +"Mom, you are mean!" Tom says. "You ruined our game! You don't understand!" + +Mom sighs. She kneels down. She hugs Tom. + +"Tom, I'm not mean. I love you. I understand you want to have fun. But guns are not fun. They are not for children. They are not for anyone. There are other ways to play. You can use your imagination. You can use other toys. You can play with Sam. You can play with me. But please, don't play with guns. OK?" + +Tom looks at Mom. He looks at Sam. He looks at the trash. He thinks for a moment. He nods. + +"OK, Mom. I'm sorry. I won't play with guns. Can we play something else?" + +Mom smiles. She kisses Tom. + +"Of course, my sweet boy. Let's play something else. How about we play hide and seek?" + +Tom and Sam smile. They like to play hide and seek. They forget about the gun. They run to the yard. They count to ten. They have fun. +Lily wanted to see the reindeer. She heard that they would come at night and bring gifts with a man in a red suit. She was very excited and could not sleep. She waited in her bed and listened for the sound of hoofs on the roof. + +She heard a thump and a jingle. She jumped out of her bed and ran to the window. She saw a big sleigh and eight reindeer. One of them had a shiny nose. She smiled and waved at them. She wanted to say hello. + +She put on her coat and her boots and opened the door. She stepped outside and walked towards the sleigh. She was very quiet and careful. She did not want to scare the reindeer or the man. + +But she did not see the snowman that her brother had made. He had put a carrot for the nose and a hat for the head. He had also put a naughty sign that said "Do not touch". He wanted to play a trick on Lily. + +Lily stepped on the snowman's hat and slipped. She fell on the snow and made a loud noise. The reindeer heard her and looked at her. The man heard her and came out of the house. He saw her and smiled. + +"Hello, little girl," he said. "What are you doing here?" + +Lily felt embarrassed and scared. She had been naughty and ruined the snowman. She had also disturbed the reindeer and the man. She did not know what to say. + +"I'm sorry," she said. "I wanted to see the reindeer. They are so pretty and nice. I did not mean to be bad." + +The man laughed and picked her up. He hugged her and said, "Don't worry, Lily. You are not bad. You are just curious. I like curious children. They are smart and brave. And I have a special gift for you. Do you want to see?" + +Lily nodded and smiled. She felt happy and relieved. She had not spoiled the night. She had made a new friend. She looked at the reindeer and the sleigh. She wondered what the gift was. She hoped it was something fun and good. +Sara and Ben are playing in the living room. They observe a big envelope on the table. They are curious. + +"Who is the envelope for?" Sara asks. + +"Let's see," Ben says. He picks up the envelope and looks at it. "It says 'To Sara and Ben, from Grandma and Grandpa'." + +"Wow, maybe it is a present!" Sara says. She is excited. + +Ben opens the envelope carefully. He pulls out a card and two books. The card has a picture of a rainbow and a heart. It says 'We love you and miss you. Hope you enjoy these books. Grandma and Grandpa.' + +Sara and Ben are glad. They hug the card and the books. They love Grandma and Grandpa. + +"Thank you, Grandma and Grandpa!" they say together. + +They sit on the couch and look at the books. The books have colorful pictures and funny stories. Sara and Ben laugh and learn. They are happy. +Tom is a cat who likes to chase mice. He is very eager to catch them and play with them. One day, he sees a mouse run into a hole in the wall. He runs after it and puts his paw inside the hole. He feels something soft and pulls it out. It is the mouse's tail! + +"Got you!" Tom says, holding the tail in his mouth. He is very happy and proud. He wants to show his tail to his friend Sam, who is a dog. + +But the mouse is not happy. He is very scared and hurt. He wants his tail back. He squeaks and cries in the hole. He hopes Tom will release his tail and let him go. + +Sam hears the mouse's squeaks and comes to see what is happening. He sees Tom with the tail in his mouth and the mouse in the hole. He feels sorry for the mouse. He knows Tom is only playing, but he thinks it is not nice to hurt the mouse. + +"Tom, please release the mouse's tail," Sam says. "He is very sad and in pain. He needs his tail to run and balance. You can play with something else, like a ball or a string." + +Tom looks at Sam and then at the mouse. He hears the mouse's cries and sees his fear. He feels bad for making the mouse suffer. He realizes he does not need the tail to have fun. He opens his mouth and releases the tail. The mouse quickly grabs his tail and runs back into the hole. He is very relieved and grateful. + +"Thank you, Tom," the mouse says. "Thank you, Sam. You are very kind and good. I hope you have a nice day." + +Tom and Sam smile and wag their tails. They are glad they helped the mouse. They decide to play with a ball instead. They are still eager to have fun, but they do not want to hurt anyone. They are good friends. +Sara and Tom are playing with their toys. Sara has a doll and Tom has a car. Tom wants to play with Sara's doll, but Sara says no. + +"Give me your doll!" Tom says. He tries to grab the doll from Sara. + +"No, it is mine!" Sara says. She holds the doll tight. + +Tom is angry. He sees a pair of scissors on the table. He picks them up and runs to Sara. + +"I will cut your doll!" Tom says. He swings the scissors at the doll. + +Sara is scared. She screams. "Stop, Tom! The scissors are sharp! You will hurt me and the doll!" + +Mom hears Sara scream. She runs to the room. She sees Tom with the scissors and Sara with the doll. + +"Tom, put down the scissors!" Mom says. She is mad.

Tommy is very excited to see the library. He likes the big windows and the shelves full of books. He also likes the friendly librarian who smiles and says hello to him. + +Tommy and his grandma find a cozy corner in the library. They sit on a soft couch and look at some books together. Tommy points at the animals and the cars and the fruits and the flowers. His grandma tells him their names and sounds and colors. Tommy learns new words and repeats them after his grandma. + +After a while, Tommy feels sleepy. He yawns and rubs his eyes. His grandma says, "Do you want to take a nap, Tommy? You can rest your head on my lap and I will read you a story." Tommy nods and cuddles with his grandma. She opens a book and reads him a story about a brave knight and a friendly dragon. Tommy listens and smiles. He likes the story. He closes his eyes and falls asleep. + +Tommy wakes up when he hears a loud noise. He opens his eyes and sees a group of children running and laughing in the library. They are wearing costumes and masks and carrying balloons and bags. They look like they are having fun. Tommy sits up and asks his grandma, "What is that, grandma? Who are they?" His grandma says, "They are here for a party, Tommy. It is Halloween today. Do you know what Halloween is?" Tommy shakes his head. He does not know what Halloween is. His grandma says, "Halloween is a special day when people dress up and pretend to be someone or something else. They also go to different places and ask for candy. Do you want to join them, Tommy? Maybe they will share some candy with you." Tommy thinks for a moment. He likes candy. He also likes to dress up and pretend. He says, "Yes, grandma. I want to join them. Can I be a knight like in the story?" His grandma says, "Of course, Tommy. You can be anything you want.

Lily and Ben are sad and scared. + +They look at their moms. Their moms see what happens and come to help them. They say to the big boy, "That is not nice. You have to share and be kind. How would you feel if someone did that to you?" The big boy does not answer. He looks angry and ashamed. + +Lily and Ben's moms hug them and say, "It's okay. You are brave and good. Do you want to play on the swing instead?" Lily and Ben nod and smile. They go to the swing and have fun. They forget about the big boy and the slide. They are happy. +Anna likes to drink milk.

But you don't slap the baby either. You have to be gentle and kind." She hugged Ben and gave him a kiss. + +Ben said, "I'm sorry, Lily. I don't like to slap the baby either. I was just frustrated. Can we try again?" He hugged Lily and gave her a kiss. + +They picked up the baby doll and the dog doll. They put them on the left side of the couch. They said, "We are a happy family. We love each other. We don't slap. We hug and kiss." They smiled and played. +Lily and Tom were playing in the kitchen. They wanted to make a cake for Mom. They saw a big bowl, some eggs, some flour and some sugar. They also saw a whip. It was shiny and had a long handle. + +"Let's use the whip to make the cake!" Lily said. "It looks fancy!" + +"OK!" Tom said. "But how do we use it?" + +Lily had an idea. She lifted the whip with both hands and swung it in the air. She made a loud whoosh sound. Tom laughed and clapped his hands. + +"That's fun!" he said. "But I don't think that's how you make a cake." + +Lily stopped swinging the whip. She looked at the bowl. She saw some eggshells and some flour on the floor. + +"Oops!" she said. "Maybe we need some help." + +Just then, Mom came into the kitchen. She saw the mess and the whip. She was not happy. + +"What are you doing?" she asked. "This is not how you make a cake!" + +Lily and Tom felt sorry. They put down the whip and hugged Mom. + +"We're sorry, Mom!" they said. "We wanted to make a cake for you. But we didn't know how to use the whip. It looked fancy!" + +Mom smiled and hugged them back. + +"It's OK, my loves," she said. "I appreciate your thought. But the whip is not for making cakes. It's for whipping cream. And you need to be careful with it. It can hurt you or someone else." + +She showed them how to use the whip gently and safely. She also helped them clean up the mess and make a real cake. They used eggs, flour, sugar, butter and chocolate. They mixed them with a spoon and put them in a pan.

It is a very strong wind that can hurt people and houses. We need to go to the basement right now," Mommy said, grabbing a flashlight and a radio. + +Tom and Lily followed Mommy to the basement. They heard the tornado getting closer and closer. They felt the house shake and rattle. They were very scared. + +"Mommy, will the tornado go away?" Tom asked, hugging his truck. + +"Yes, honey, it will go away soon. We just have to wait and be brave," Mommy said, holding them both. + +After a while, the noise stopped. Mommy turned on the radio and heard that the tornado was gone. She told Tom and Lily that it was safe to go back upstairs. + +They went back to the living room and saw a big mess.

They were glad that they had Mommy and each other. They decided to play with the toys that were not broken and read the books that were not torn. They hoped that the tornado would never come back. +Tom and Lily were playing in the living room. They liked to jump on the sofa and throw the cushions around. They had fun making a big mess. + +But then Mom came in and saw the cushions on the floor. She was not happy. She said, "Tom and Lily, you need to clean up this mess. The cushions are not toys. They are for sitting and resting. Please put them back on the sofa." + +Tom and Lily did not want to clean up. They said, "But Mom, we were just playing. We don't want to stop. Can we do it later?" + +Mom said, "No, you need to do it now. It is not nice to leave a mess for others. You need to be helpful and respectful. If you clean up now, you can play again later. But if you don't, you will have no more playtime today." + +Tom and Lily did not like Mom's words. They felt angry and sad. They did not want to lose their playtime. But they also did not want to touch the cushions. They thought they were boring and heavy. + +Then they saw Max, their dog. Max was lying on a cushion near the window. He looked happy and cozy. He saw Tom and Lily and wagged his tail. + +Tom and Lily had an idea. They said, "Hey, Max, do you want to help us? You can touch the cushions and bring them to us. Then we can put them on the sofa. It will be fun and easy. And Mom will be happy. Do you want to be helpful, Max?" + +Max liked Tom and Lily. He liked to play with them. He also liked to touch the cushions. He thought they were soft and warm. He wanted to be helpful, too. He nodded his head and barked. + +Tom and Lily smiled. They said, "Good boy, Max. Thank you for helping us. You are a good friend. Come on, let's do it together." + +Tom and Lily and Max worked together. They touched the cushions and put them on the sofa. They made a neat and tidy living room. They had fun and learned a lesson. They learned that being helpful is good and rewarding. And that playing with cushions can be fun, too. +Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play games. They were very competitive and always wanted to win. Sometimes they would argue and say mean things to each other. + +One day, they played a memory game with cards. They had to turn over two cards and see if they matched. If they matched, they could keep them. If not, they had to turn them back over. The one who had the most cards at the end would win. + +Anna was good at remembering where the cards were. She found many matches and had a big pile of cards. Ben was not so good at remembering. He only had a few cards and felt sad. + +"Ha ha, I am winning!" Anna said. "You are bad at this game. You have a bad memory." + +Ben felt angry and hurt. He wanted to cry. He said, "You are mean. You don't care about me. You only care about winning." + +Anna saw that Ben was upset. She felt sorry for him. She remembered that he was her brother and that she loved him. She said, "I'm sorry, Ben. I didn't mean to hurt you. You are right. I don't care about winning. I care about you. You are my twin and my friend." + +She gave him some of her cards and said, "Let's share. We can both win. It's more fun to play together than to fight." + +Ben smiled and hugged her. He said, "Thank you, Anna. You are nice. You have a good memory and a good heart." + +They finished the game and had the same number of cards. They were happy and proud of each other. + +The moral of the story is: Don't be too competitive and hurt your friends. Care about them and share with them. You will have more fun and more love. +Lily and Tom were friends. They liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big truck with ice cream. They ran to the truck and asked for ice cream. + +"I want chocolate," Lily said. + +"I want vanilla," Tom said. + +The ice cream man smiled and gave them ice cream. He said, "That will be two coins, please." + +Lily and Tom looked at each other. They did not have any coins. They only had a ball and a doll. + +"Can we give you the ball and the doll?" Lily asked. + +The ice cream man shook his head. He said, "No, I need coins. You have to wait until you have coins." + +Lily and Tom felt sad. They wanted to eat the ice cream. They wondered why the ice cream man was so mean. They did not want to wait. They wanted to play. + +They looked at the ice cream. It looked yummy. They looked at the ice cream man. He looked busy. He was talking to other kids. + +Lily had an idea. She whispered to Tom, "Let's run away with the ice cream. He will not see us." + +Tom nodded. He thought it was a good idea. They grabbed the ice cream and ran away. + +The ice cream man saw them. He shouted, "Hey, stop! You have to pay for the ice cream!" + +He ran after them. He was angry. + +Lily and Tom ran faster. They laughed. They thought they were clever. + +They reached the park. They sat on a bench. They licked the ice cream. + +But the ice cream did not taste yummy. It tasted bitter. It made their mouths hurt. It made their tummies ache. + +They did not like the ice cream. They wished they had not taken it. They felt bad. + +They looked at each other. They said, "Sorry, ice cream man. We were wrong. We will give you the coins next time." +Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they find a big hole in the ground. They wonder what is inside. + +"Let's give something to the hole," Tom says. "Maybe it is hungry or lonely." + +"Okay," Sue says. "What can we give it?" + +Tom looks around. He sees a stick, a stone, a leaf and a flower. He picks up the stick and throws it into the hole. Sue picks up the stone and does the same. + +"Hello, hole!" they shout. "Do you like our gifts?" + +But the hole does not answer. It is very quiet and dark. + +Tom and Sue are sad. They want the hole to be happy. They look for more things to give it. They find a leaf and a flower. They think they are pretty and soft. + +"Maybe the hole likes these better," Sue says. "They are not harsh like the stick and the stone." + +She gives the leaf to the hole. Tom gives the flower. They smile and wait for a sound. + +But the hole does not answer. It is still very quiet and dark. + +Tom and Sue are confused. They do not know what the hole wants. They sit on the edge and look into it. + +"Hello, hole!" they say again. "Are you there? Do you want to be our friend?" + +But the hole does not answer. It is still very quiet and dark. + +Tom and Sue are disappointed. They think the hole does not like them. They get up and walk away. + +But as they leave, they hear a small voice from the hole. + +"Thank you, Tom and Sue," it says. "I like your gifts. They are nice and gentle. I am sorry I did not answer. I was shy and scared. But you made me feel better. You are my friends." + +Tom and Sue are surprised. They turn around and see a small face peeking out of the hole. It is a mouse. + +"Hello, mouse!" they say. "We are happy to meet you. Do you live in the hole?" + +"Yes, I do," the mouse says. "It is my home. But it is lonely sometimes. I am glad you came. You are very kind." + +Tom and Sue are happy. They have a new friend. They go back to the hole and talk to the mouse. They ask him his name, what he likes to do, and what he eats. They share their snacks with him. They laugh and play. + +The hole is not quiet and dark anymore. It is full of light and sound. It is full of friendship. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play in the garden. They had a big tree with many vines that they could swing on. They pretended to be monkeys and made funny noises. + +One day, they saw a new vine that was very long and thick. It looked amazing. They wanted to swing on it, but it was too high for them to reach. They had an idea. They got a ladder from the shed and put it near the tree. + +"Let's unite the vines and make a big swing!" Ben said. + +"Good idea!" Lily said. + +They climbed the ladder and tied the new vine to another vine. They made a big loop that they could sit on. They were very happy. They got down from the ladder and pushed the swing. + +"Ready, set, go!" Ben said. + +They jumped on the swing and flew in the air. They felt like they were flying. They laughed and screamed with joy. + +But they did not know that the new vine was not a vine at all. It was a snake that was sleeping on the tree. It woke up when it felt the twins pull on it. It was very angry. It hissed and wriggled and tried to get free. + +The twins saw the snake and were very scared. They let go of the swing and fell to the ground. They ran away from the tree and the snake. They did not want to play with the vines anymore. + +They ran to their mom and told her what happened. She hugged them and said they were brave. She said she would call the animal man to take the snake away. She said they should not touch things they did not know. + +The twins learned their lesson. They said they were sorry for waking up the snake. They said they would only play with the vines they knew. They said they still loved the garden and the tree. They said they would be more careful next time. +Ben and Lily were playing in the farm. They liked to run and jump and see the animals. They saw cows and pigs and chickens and horses. They said hello to them and gave them some food. + +"Look, there is a big barn!" Lily said. "Let's go inside and see what is there." + +"OK, but be careful. The barn is old and empty. There may be spiders or mice or holes in the floor." Ben said. + +They walked to the barn and opened the door. It was dark and dusty inside. They saw some hay and some tools and some old boxes. They heard some noises. + +"What is that?" Lily asked. + +"I don't know. Maybe it is a ghost!" Ben said. + +They were scared and ran out of the barn. They saw their mom and dad waiting for them. + +"Hi, kids. Did you have fun?" Mom asked. + +"Yes, but we saw a scary barn. It was empty and dark and noisy." Lily said. + +"Oh, don't worry. That is just the old barn. It is not scary. It is just a place where the farmer used to store his things. The noises are probably just the wind or some birds." Dad said. + +"Can we go back and see?" Ben asked. + +"Sure, but only if you hold hands and stay together. And don't touch anything. The barn is not very safe." Mom said. + +"OK, we will be careful." Lily said. + +They went back to the barn with their mom and dad. They saw that the noises were just some pigeons and some rats. They also saw a cat sleeping on a pile of hay. + +"Look, a kitty!" Lily said. + +"Can we pet it?" Ben asked. + +"Sure, but be gentle. The kitty may be tired and want to rest." Dad said. + +They petted the kitty softly. It purred and licked their fingers. They smiled and hugged the kitty. + +"Can we take it home?" Lily asked. + +"I don't think so. The kitty belongs to the farm. It likes to live in the barn and catch mice. It would not be happy in our house." Mom said. + +"OK, then we will come back and visit it." Ben said. + +They said goodbye to the kitty and the other animals. They thanked the farmer for letting them play in the farm. They went back to their car and drove home. + +They had a lot of fun in the farm. They learned about the animals and the barn. They made a new friend. They were happy and tired. They fell asleep in the car and dreamed of the farm. +Tom and Lily like to play in the park. They like to slide, swing, and run. One day, they see a big hill in the park. They have never seen it before. It is a mystery. + +They want to see what is on the hill. They hold hands and walk up the hill. It is hard to walk. The hill is steep and bumpy. They are tired and thirsty. But they keep going. They want to solve the mystery. + +When they reach the top of the hill, they see something cool. It is a big balloon. It is red and yellow and blue. It is shiny and round. It is tied to a basket. The basket has a man and a woman in it. They are smiling and waving. + +"Hello, kids!" the man says. "Do you want to see something cool?" + +He pulls a rope. The balloon makes a loud noise. It fills with hot air. It starts to rise. It lifts the basket off the ground. + +Tom and Lily are amazed. They clap and cheer. They watch the balloon rise higher and higher. It flies over the park. It flies over the trees. It flies over the houses. It flies over the clouds. + +Tom and Lily think it is the coolest thing they have ever seen. They wonder where the balloon will go. They wonder what other mysteries they will find. They are happy and curious. They love to play in the park. +Lila and Tom are twins. They like to play with cars and trucks. They have many cars and trucks in their toy box. One day, they want to make a race with their cars and trucks. They go to the kitchen and look for oil. + +"Oil makes cars and trucks go fast," Lila says. "We can put oil on our wheels and race on the floor." + +"Good idea," Tom says. "But we have to choose which oil to use. There are many bottles of oil here." + +They see olive oil, sunflower oil, coconut oil, and baby oil. They do not know which one is best for their cars and trucks. + +"Let's try them all," Lila says. "We can use one oil for each car or truck. Then we can see which one is the fastest." + +They take four cars and four trucks from their toy box. They put some oil on the wheels of each one. They use olive oil for the red car, sunflower oil for the blue car, coconut oil for the yellow truck, and baby oil for the green truck. + +They go to the living room and make a start line and a finish line with some books. They put their cars and trucks on the start line. They are ready to race. + +"Ready, set, go!" Lila shouts. + +They push their cars and trucks on the floor. The cars and trucks slide and zoom on the oil. They make funny noises and leave oily marks on the floor. + +The red car with olive oil is the fastest. It reaches the finish line first. The blue car with sunflower oil is second. The yellow truck with coconut oil is third. The green truck with baby oil is last. It is very slow and sticky. + +"Wow, that was fun!" Tom says. "The red car is the winner. Olive oil is the best oil for cars." + +"Yes, it is," Lila says. "But the green truck is the loser. Baby oil is the worst oil for trucks. It is too hard and thick. It makes the wheels stuck." + +They laugh and clap. They are happy with their race. They do not see their mom coming into the living room. She sees the oily mess on the floor and the cars and trucks. She is not happy. + +"What are you doing?" she asks. "Why did you use oil on your toys? Why did you make such a mess?" + +Lila and Tom look at their mom. They do not know what to say. They are sorry. They did not mean to make a mess. They just wanted to have fun. + +"We were racing with our cars and trucks," Lila says. "We used oil to make them go fast. We had to choose which oil to use." + +Mom shakes her head. She is not angry, but she is not pleased. She loves her twins, but she does not like the oil on the floor and the toys. + +"That was not a good choice," she says. "Oil is not for toys. Oil is for cooking and for babies. Oil can make the floor and the toys dirty and slippery. You could have hurt yourselves or broken your toys. Next time, please ask me before you use oil for anything." + +Lila and Tom nod. They understand. They are sorry. They hug their mom and say they are sorry. Mom hugs them back and says she forgives them. She tells them to help her clean the floor and the toys. She tells them to use soap and water, not oil. She tells them to be careful and to make better choices. + +Lila and Tom agree. They help their mom clean the floor and the toys. They use soap and water, not oil. They are careful and they make better choices. They still like to play with their cars and trucks, but they do not use oil anymore. They use their imagination instead. They think that is more fun. +Lily and her mom went to the big park. They wanted to see the big animals. Lily liked the big animals. She liked the lions and the elephants and the monkeys. She wanted to feed the monkeys. + +Lily and her mom had two tickets. One ticket for Lily and one ticket for mom. The tickets let them go inside the park and see the big animals. Lily held her ticket in her hand. She was happy. + +But then, Lily saw a beautiful flower. It was red and yellow and pink. It smelled nice. Lily wanted to pick the flower. She let go of her ticket and ran to the flower. She picked the flower and smiled. + +But when she turned around, she saw that her ticket was gone. It flew away in the wind. Lily was sad. She cried. She could not go inside the park and see the big animals. She could not feed the monkeys. + +Mom saw Lily crying. She ran to Lily and hugged her. She said, "Don't cry, Lily. I have an idea. We can share my ticket. We can go inside the park and see the big animals. We can feed the monkeys. And you can keep the beautiful flower. Do you like that?" + +Lily nodded. She wiped her tears. She said, "Thank you, mom. You are the best. I love you. And I love the big animals. And I love the beautiful flower. But I miss my ticket. It was mine." + +Mom said, "I know, Lily. I know. But sometimes we lose things. And sometimes we find new things. And sometimes we share things. That's okay. That's life. And life is beautiful. Just like you. And just like the flower. And just like the big animals. Come on, let's go and have fun." + +Lily smiled. She held mom's hand. She held the flower. She went inside the park and saw the big animals. She fed the monkeys. She had fun. She was happy. +Lily was a chubby girl who liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Anna, who had a pretty face and long hair. Lily always took Anna with her when she went to the park, the store, or the library. + +One day, Lily went to the library with her mom. She brought Anna with her and put her on a chair while she looked for a book. She found a book about animals and sat down to read it. She was so happy to see the pictures of lions, elephants, and monkeys. + +But when she finished the book and went back to the chair, Anna was gone. Lily felt sad and scared. She looked around the library, but she could not find Anna. She asked the librarian, but she did not see Anna. She asked her mom, but she did not know where Anna was. + +Lily started to cry. She thought someone had taken Anna away. She wanted her doll back. She loved Anna more than anything. + +Then she heard a voice. It was a boy, who was holding Anna in his hands. He said, "Look what I found! A doll with a pretty face and long hair. She is mine now. I like her." + +Lily was angry. She ran to the boy and said, "No, she is not yours. She is mine. Give her back to me. She is my doll. I love her." + +The boy was stubborn. He said, "No, she is mine. I found her. She is my doll. I love her." + +Lily and the boy started to pull Anna from each other. They both wanted Anna. They both loved Anna. They did not want to share Anna. + +The librarian saw them and came to them. She said, "Stop, stop. What are you doing? Why are you fighting over this doll?" + +Lily and the boy told her their stories. The librarian listened and said, "I see. You both like this doll very much. But you cannot fight over her. She belongs to someone. Who is her owner?" + +Lily said, "She is mine. I brought her with me. She is my favorite doll. Her name is Anna." + +The boy said, "She is mine. I found her on the chair. She is my favorite doll. Her name is Anna." + +The librarian said, "Hmm, this is a problem. How can we solve it? How can we make you both happy?" + +Lily and the boy thought for a moment. They looked at each other. They looked at Anna. They felt sorry for making her sad. They realized that they had something in common. They both liked dolls. They both liked Anna. + +Lily said, "Maybe we can share Anna. Maybe we can take turns playing with her. Maybe we can be friends." + +The boy said, "Maybe we can. Maybe that is a good idea. Maybe you are nice." + +The librarian said, "That is a wonderful idea. That is a kind way to solve the problem. That is how you make friends." + +Lily and the boy smiled. They gave each other a hug. They gave Anna a hug. They thanked the librarian. They decided to play together. They discovered that they had more things to like. They discovered that they had a new friend. +Lily and Tom were playing in the garden. They saw some dry leaves and sticks. They wanted to make a fire. + +"Fire is fun and warm," said Tom. "Let's burn the leaves and sticks." + +"OK," said Lily. "But we have to be careful. Fire can hurt." + +They piled up the leaves and sticks. Tom found a match and lit it. He threw it on the pile. The fire started to burn. + +"Wow, look at the fire!" said Lily. "It is bright and orange." + +They watched the fire for a while. They felt proud of their fire. They did not see their mom coming. + +"Tom! Lily! What are you doing?" their mom shouted. "Fire is dangerous! You could have burned yourself or the house!" + +She ran to the fire and poured water on it. The fire went out. She was angry and scared. + +"Sorry, mom," said Tom and Lily. "We did not know fire was bad. We just wanted to make a fire." + +"You should never play with fire," their mom said. "Fire is not a toy. Fire can burn things and people. You are lucky I saw you in time." + +She hugged them and took them inside. She explained to them why fire was not for playing. She showed them some pictures of firemen and fire trucks. She told them fire was only for cooking or heating, and only adults could use it. + +Tom and Lily learned their lesson. They never played with fire again. They were still proud of their fire, but they knew it was wrong. They said sorry to their mom and thanked her for saving them. They loved their mom. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play with paint. They have red, blue, yellow and white paint. They can make different colors by mixing them. + +One day, they want to make orange paint. They know that red and yellow make orange. They take a big brush and dip it in red paint. Then they dip it in yellow paint. They see the brush has two colors. + +"Look, Ben, I have red and yellow on my brush!" Anna says. + +"Let me see!" Ben says. He takes the brush from Anna and tries to paint on a paper. But the paint does not look orange. It looks brown and messy. + +"Oh no, what happened?" Anna asks. + +"I don't know. Maybe we need more yellow," Ben says. He dips the brush in yellow paint again and paints on another paper. But the paint still does not look orange. It looks green and muddy. + +"Yuck, this is not orange!" Anna says. + +"I think we did something wrong," Ben says. He looks at the brush. It has red, yellow, blue and white paint on it. The paint is all mixed up. + +"Maybe we need to spread the paint more," Anna says. She has an idea. She takes a big piece of paper and puts it on the floor. She tells Ben to put the brush on the paper and move it around. + +"Like this?" Ben asks. He follows Anna's idea and spreads the paint on the paper. He sees the paint making different shapes and patterns. + +"Yes, like this!" Anna says. She joins Ben and spreads the paint too. They have fun moving the brush and making swirls and lines. + +They look at the paper. It has many colors on it. Some parts look orange, some look purple, some look green, some look brown. The paint is not mixed up anymore. It is spread out. + +"Wow, this is beautiful!" Anna says. + +"Yes, it is!" Ben says. They smile at each other. They are happy with their result. + +They show their paper to their teacher. She likes it too. She says they are very creative. She hangs their paper on the wall. Anna and Ben are proud of their paint. They learned how to spread it and make orange. They also learned how to make other colors. They want to paint more. They love to play with paint. +Sara and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park every day. They liked to swing, slide and run. But they did not like the same things all the time. + +One day, they saw a big pole in the park. It was shiny and tall. Sara wanted to climb the pole. She thought it would be amazing. Ben did not want to climb the pole. He thought it would be scary. + +"I want to climb the pole!" Sara said. "It looks like fun!" + +"No, you don't!" Ben said. "It looks like danger!" + +They disagreed. They did not want to play together anymore. They were sad and mad. + +Then, they saw a dog. The dog was cute and friendly. It ran to them and wagged its tail. It wanted to play with them. + +"Look, a dog!" Sara said. "It likes us!" + +"Yes, a dog!" Ben said. "It is nice!" + +They agreed. They forgot about the pole. They played with the dog. They were happy and glad. They were best friends again. +Lila was a popular girl. She had many friends who liked to play with her. She was good at sharing, singing and making jokes. She was happy most of the time. + +One day, Lila found a dragon in the woods. The dragon was big and green, but not scary. He was friendly and gentle. He liked to fly, breathe fire and tell stories. Lila and the dragon became friends. They played every day in the woods. Lila did not tell anyone about the dragon. She wanted to keep him for herself. + +But Lila's friends started to miss her. They wondered where she went every day. They asked her to play with them, but she always said no. She only wanted to play with the dragon. Lila's friends felt sad and angry. They thought Lila did not like them anymore. They stopped talking to her. They found new friends to play with. + +One day, Lila went to the woods to see the dragon. But the dragon was not there. She looked everywhere, but she could not find him. She called his name, but he did not answer. She felt scared and lonely. She realized that the dragon had left her. He had gone to find other dragons to live with. He did not need her anymore. + +Lila ran back to her home. She wanted to see her friends. She wanted to say sorry and play with them. But when she got to her home, she saw that her friends were playing without her. They had fun and laughed. They did not see her or hear her. They did not care about her anymore. Lila felt sad and sorry. She wished she had not been so selfish. She wished she had not lost her friends and her dragon. + +The moral of the story is: Do not take your friends for granted. Do not be greedy and keep things for yourself. Share and care for others. Or you might end up alone and unhappy. +Lily and Ben were playing in the living room. They had many toys to play with, but they wanted to play a game. They decided to play hide and seek. Lily said, "I will count to ten and you will hide. Then I will find you. OK?" Ben nodded and ran to find a hiding spot. + +Lily closed her eyes and counted. "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten! Ready or not, here I come!" She opened her eyes and looked around. She saw Ben's shoes sticking out from behind the sofa. She smiled and walked towards him. "I found you, Ben! You are not very hidden!" + +Ben came out from behind the sofa. He was sad. He said, "That was not fair. You saw my shoes. I want to hide again." Lily said, "OK, but you have to choose a better hiding spot. How about the chair? It has a big cushion. You can hide under it." Ben liked the idea. He said, "OK, I will hide under the chair. You count again." + +Lily closed her eyes and counted. "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten! Ready or not, here I come!" She opened her eyes and looked around. She saw the chair with the big cushion. She thought, "Ben must be under there. He is very hidden." She walked towards the chair and lifted the cushion. But there was no Ben. She was surprised. She said, "Where are you, Ben? I can't find you!" + +Ben giggled. He was not under the chair. He was behind the curtain. He had tricked Lily. He said, "I am here, Lily! I fooled you! I did not hide under the chair. I hid behind the curtain. You did not see me. I am very hidden!" Lily turned around and saw Ben. She was not happy. She said, "That was not nice, Ben. You lied to me. You did not choose the chair. You chose the curtain. That is cheating. I don't want to play with you anymore." + +Ben felt bad. He realized he had hurt Lily's feelings. He said, "I am sorry, Lily. I wanted to win. I did not mean to lie to you. I want to play with you. Can we be friends again?" Lily said, "You have to be honest, Ben. Lying is wrong. Friends don't lie to each other. Friends choose to be kind and fair. If you promise to be honest, we can be friends again." Ben said, "I promise, Lily. I will be honest. I will choose to be kind and fair. Can we play another game?" Lily said, "OK, Ben. We can play another game. How about we play with the blocks?" Ben said, "OK, Lily. I like the blocks. Let's play with the blocks." They hugged and went to play with the blocks. + +The moral of the story is: Honesty is the best policy. Lying can hurt your friends and yourself. Choose to be kind and fair. +Ria and Roby were twins who liked to play in the forest. They saw many animals and plants, but they were not afraid. They were curious and brave. + +One day, they found a big black bird on a branch. It had shiny eyes and a sharp beak. Ria and Roby did not know what it was. They wanted to touch it and see if it was soft or hard. + +"Look, a black bird!" Ria said. "Let's poke it and make it fly!" + +"No, don't poke it!" Roby said. "It might bite you or peck you!" + +But Ria did not listen. She reached out her hand and poked the bird. The bird did not like it. It cawed loudly and flapped its wings. It was a raven, and it was angry. + +The raven flew down and chased Ria and Roby. They ran away, but the raven was faster. It pecked Ria's hair and Roby's ear. They cried and screamed. They were fearful and sorry. + +They reached their home and ran inside. They told their mom what happened. Their mom hugged them and cleaned their wounds. She said, "You should not poke animals that you don't know. They might be scared or hurt. You should be kind and respectful to them. They have feelings too." + +Ria and Roby learned their lesson. They said sorry to the raven and to each other. They promised to be more careful and gentle in the forest. They still liked to play there, but they did not poke any more animals. They watched them and learned from them. They were curious and brave, but also kind and respectful. +Sara and Ben were twins who liked to play in the yard. They had a big gate that kept them safe from the road. But sometimes they wanted to see what was on the other side of the gate. They thought there might be amazing things to explore. + +One day, when their mom was busy in the kitchen, they decided to remove the gate. They pushed and pulled until it came off its hinges. They felt very clever and excited. They ran out of the yard and onto the road. + +But the road was not amazing. It was noisy and scary. There were big cars and trucks that honked and zoomed. Sara and Ben felt very afraid. They did not know how to get back to the yard. They wished they had not removed the gate. + +Suddenly, they heard their mom's voice. She had seen them run out of the yard and followed them. She was very angry and worried. She grabbed their hands and took them back to the yard. She put the gate back on its hinges and locked it. + +"Sara and Ben, you were very naughty and foolish," she said. "You could have been hurt by the cars and trucks. The gate is there to protect you, not to stop you from having fun. You should never remove the gate without my permission. Do you understand?" + +Sara and Ben nodded. They felt very sorry and ashamed. They hugged their mom and said they were sorry. They learned their lesson. They never removed the gate again. They realized that the yard was amazing enough for them. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big band in the park. The band has drums and horns and flags. The band is very loud and pretty. + +"Look, Anna, the band is marching!" Ben says. "Let's march with them!" + +Anna and Ben run to the band. They try to march like the band. They lift their feet high and swing their arms. They make funny noises with their mouths. + +But the band is too fast for them. Anna and Ben cannot keep up. They bump into each other and fall down. They hurt their knees and elbows. They start to cry. + +"Are you okay, Anna?" Ben asks. + +"Are you okay, Ben?" Anna asks. + +They hug each other and say sorry. They are still friends. + +A nice lady from the band comes to them. She has a big smile and a red hat. She gives them a band-aid and a candy. + +"Sorry you had a trip, kids," she says. "But you did a good job marching. You are very brave and cute." + +Anna and Ben smile and say thank you. They are happy again. They watch the band march away. They clap their hands and cheer. They love the band. +Tom and Sue like to play with their pet bird, Bob. Bob is a yellow bird who can sing and fly. Tom and Sue have a cage for Bob, where he sleeps and eats. They always keep the cage clean and give Bob fresh water and seeds. + +One day, Tom and Sue find a new toy in the store. It is a big ball that can bounce and make noise. They want to buy it, but they do not have enough money. They see a sign that says "Sell your old toys and get money". They have an idea. + +They go home and take Bob out of his cage. They say to Bob, "We are going to play with you outside. You will like it. It is fun." They put Bob on their shoulder and walk to the store. They do not see that Bob is scared and sad. + +They go to the store and show Bob to the man who buys toys. The man says, "What a nice bird! I will give you ten dollars for him." Tom and Sue are happy. They say, "OK, take him. We want the ball." They take the money and the ball and leave Bob with the man. + +The man puts Bob in a small and dirty cage with many other birds. The cage is dark and noisy. Bob is very unhappy. He misses Tom and Sue and his clean cage. He tries to sing, but no one listens. He tries to fly, but there is no space. He wishes he could go back to his home. But he can not. He is stuck in the cage forever. +Tom and Amy are playing with their toy cars. They like to make them go fast and make loud noises. Tom has a blue car and Amy has a pink car. They have a lot of fun. + +But then, Tom's car stops moving. He tries to push it, but it does not go. He feels sad and angry. He looks at Amy and says, "Why does your car still go? My car is broken!" + +Amy shakes her head and says, "No, your car is not broken. You just need a new battery. Look, your car has a small door on the bottom. You can open it and take out the old battery. Then you can put in a new battery and your car will go again." + +Tom does not know what a battery is. He asks, "What is a battery? Where can I get a new one?" + +Amy says, "A battery is a thing that makes your car go. It has power inside. When the power is gone, the car stops. You can get a new battery from mom or dad. They have some in the kitchen. Come on, I will show you." + +Tom and Amy go to the kitchen and ask mom for a new battery. Mom smiles and says, "Sure, I have some new batteries for you. But first, you have to guess what I am making for lunch. It smells good and it is hot and cheesy. What do you think it is?" + +Tom and Amy sniff the air and think hard. They like hot and cheesy food. They say together, "Is it pizza?" + +Mom says, "Yes, you are right! It is pizza. You are very smart. Here are your new batteries. Now you can go back and play with your cars. But don't forget to come back when the pizza is ready. OK?" + +Tom and Amy say, "OK, thank you mom!" They take the new batteries and run back to their room. They open the small door on Tom's car and put in the new battery. Then they close the door and turn on the car. It goes fast and makes loud noises again. Tom is happy and says, "Yay, my car works! Thank you, Amy. You are a good sister." + +Amy says, "You are welcome, Tom. You are a good brother. Let's race our cars. Ready, set, go!" They race their cars and have a lot of fun. They are happy. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big panda in the park. The panda is red and black. It is very cute. + +"Hello, panda!" Lily says. "Do you want to play with us?" + +The panda nods. It walks to Lily and Tom. It gives them a hug. Lily and Tom are happy. + +They play tag with the panda. The panda is fast and strong. It can run and jump. Lily and Tom try to catch the panda. But the panda is too clever. It hides behind a tree. + +"Where is the panda?" Tom asks. He looks around. + +"Boo!" The panda says. It strikes Tom on the head. Tom falls down. He laughs. + +"Ouch! You got me, panda!" Tom says. He rubs his head. + +Lily runs to Tom. She helps him up. She smiles. + +"That was fun, panda!" Lily says. "You are a good friend." + +The panda smiles too. It strikes Lily and Tom on the head. But gently. It is a friendly strike. + +They all laugh. They hug again. They are happy. They are friends. +Sam and Lily were twins who liked to play in the park. One day, they saw a big bird with red and blue feathers on a tree. They had never seen such a bird before. It looked rare and wild. + +"Wow, look at that bird!" Sam said. "It is so pretty and shiny!" + +"I want to touch it!" Lily said. "Maybe it will be my friend!" + +She ran towards the tree and tried to climb it. Sam followed her, but he was scared. He thought the bird might bite or scratch them. + +"Lily, stop!" Sam said. "The bird might not like it!" + +But Lily did not listen. She reached the branch where the bird was and stretched her hand to touch it. The bird did not like it at all. It opened its beak and gave a loud squawk. Then it slapped Lily's hand with its wing. + +"Ow!" Lily cried. "That hurt!" + +She fell off the branch and landed on the grass. Sam ran to help her. He saw that her hand was red and sore. + +"I told you to stop!" Sam said. "The bird was wild, not friendly!" + +Lily sniffed and rubbed her hand. She felt sorry for being naughty. + +"I'm sorry, Sam," she said. "You were right. The bird was rare and wild. I should have left it alone." + +Sam hugged her and said, "It's okay, Lily. I'm glad you're not hurt badly. Let's go and find Mom and Dad. Maybe they have a band-aid for your hand." + +They walked away from the tree, holding hands. The bird watched them go and flew away to another tree. It did not like being disturbed by children. It liked being rare and wild. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide. They saw a big duck on the pond. The duck had a long neck and a yellow beak. It made a loud noise. Quack, quack, quack! + +"Look, a duck!" Lily said. "Let's go and say hello." + +"OK," Tom said. "But be careful. Ducks can bite." + +They stepped closer to the pond. The duck saw them and swam to the edge. It looked at them with its black eyes. It opened its beak and quacked again. + +"Hello, duck," Lily said. "You are very big and pretty. Can we be your friends?" + +The duck did not answer. It tilted its head and made a strange sound. It was not a quack. It was a whistle. Whoo, whoo, whoo! + +"What is that?" Tom asked. "Why is the duck whistling?" + +"I don't know," Lily said. "Maybe it likes us. Maybe it wants to play." + +They whistled back at the duck. Whoo, whoo, whoo! The duck whistled again. Whoo, whoo, whoo! They laughed and whistled. They had fun. + +But then, another duck came out of the water. It was smaller and brown. It had a green head and a red spot on its face. It looked at the big duck and the children. It did not like them. It was angry. It flapped its wings and hissed. Hiss, hiss, hiss! + +"Who are you?" the small duck said. "Why are you whistling at my duck? Go away! You are ugly and noisy. You are not welcome here." + +The big duck stopped whistling. It looked at the small duck and the children. It was scared. It did not want to fight. It swam away with the small duck. They quacked and hissed. Quack, hiss, quack, hiss! + +Lily and Tom were sad. They liked the big duck. They wanted to be its friends. They did not think they were ugly and noisy. They did not understand why the small duck was so mean. + +"Come back, duck," Lily said. "We are sorry. We did not mean to bother you. We just wanted to whistle with you." + +But the ducks did not come back. They stayed on the other side of the pond. They ignored the children. They were not nice. + +Lily and Tom stopped whistling. They walked away from the pond. They looked for another game. They hoped to find a friendlier animal. They learned that not all ducks are the same. Some are big and pretty and whistle. Some are small and brown and hiss. Some are nice and some are mean. They decided to be nice to everyone. They did not want to be like the small duck. They wanted to be like the big duck. They wanted to whistle and have fun. +Sara and Ben were young and liked to play. They were happy when their mom and dad said they could go on a holiday to the beach. They packed their toys and clothes and got in the car. + +The beach was big and blue and had lots of sand. Sara and Ben ran to the water and splashed and laughed. They made a big sandcastle and put shells on it. They ate ice cream and drank juice. They had a lot of fun. + +But then Sara saw a shiny thing in the water. She wanted to see what it was. She told Ben to come with her. Ben was scared and said no. He said they should stay near mom and dad. Sara did not listen. She ran to the water and swam to the shiny thing. + +It was a big fish with sharp teeth. It saw Sara and opened its mouth. Sara was very scared and screamed. Ben heard her and ran to help her. He threw a stick at the fish and made it go away. He grabbed Sara and pulled her to the shore. + +Mom and dad heard the noise and came to see what happened. They were very angry and worried. They hugged Sara and Ben and checked if they were hurt. They said they were very lucky and they should never swim away from them. Sara and Ben said they were sorry and they regretted what they did. They learned their lesson and never did it again. They still enjoyed the rest of their holiday, but they were more careful and listened to mom and dad. +Sara and Ben were very happy. They were going to the theater with Mom and Dad. They had never been to the theater before. They put on their best clothes and got in the car. + +"Are we there yet?" Ben asked. + +"Soon, honey. The theater is very big and impressive. You will see a lot of people and lights and music," Mom said. + +Sara and Ben looked out the window. They saw tall buildings and busy streets. They saw a sign that said "Theater". They were very excited. + +They parked the car and walked to the theater. They showed their tickets and went inside. The theater was very big and impressive. There were many seats and a big stage. There were also many people. Some were dressed like animals or fairies or kings. They were the actors. They were going to tell a story. + +Sara and Ben found their seats and sat down. They waited for the show to start. They saw a man with a microphone. He said, "Welcome to the theater. Please turn off your phones and be quiet. Enjoy the show." + +The lights went down and the music started. The actors came on the stage. They started to sing and dance and act. Sara and Ben watched with wonder. They laughed and clapped and cheered. They liked the show very much. + +At the end of the show, the actors bowed and the audience applauded. Sara and Ben stood up and joined the applause. They felt happy and proud. They had seen their first theater show. + +They walked out of the theater and met Mom and Dad. They hugged them and thanked them. + +"Did you like the show?" Dad asked. + +"Yes, we loved it. It was amazing. Thank you for taking us," Sara said. + +"Me too. It was fun. Can we go again?" Ben said. + +"Maybe someday. I'm glad you enjoyed it. You were very good and quiet," Mom said. + +They got in the car and drove home. Sara and Ben talked about their favorite parts of the show. They sang some of the songs they heard. They pretended to be some of the characters they saw. + +Before they went to bed, they prayed. They thanked God for their family and their day. They asked God to bless the actors and the theater. They asked God to help them dream of the show. They said amen and kissed Mom and Dad good night. They went to sleep with smiles on their faces. They had a wonderful day at the theater. +Tom and Sue wanted to play with the big kite. They saw it in the garage. It was red and blue and had a long string. They took it outside and ran to the park. + +"Let's fly the kite!" Tom said. "I will hold the string and you will run with the kite." + +"OK!" Sue said. She was nervous. She never flew a kite before. She held the kite and waited for Tom to say go. + +"Go!" Tom said. Sue ran as fast as she could. The wind lifted the kite up in the air. It looked like a bird. Tom and Sue were happy. + +But then, a big truck came. It was loud and fast. It did not see the string. The string was across the road. The truck hit the string and broke it. The kite flew away. Tom and Sue were sad. + +"Hey, that's my kite!" Tom yelled. He ran after the kite. He did not look where he was going. He did not see the truck. The truck did not see him. + +There was a loud honk and a big crash. Tom fell down. He did not get up. Sue screamed. She ran to Tom. He was hurt. He was bleeding. He was not moving. Sue cried. She was scared. She was alone. The end. +Anna and Ben love to watch films. They like films with animals, songs and jokes. Sometimes they watch films on the big screen with their mom and dad. Sometimes they watch films on the small screen at home. + +One day, they watch a film about a puppy and a kitten. The puppy and the kitten are adorable. They are friends and they have fun. They move around a lot and make funny noises. Anna and Ben laugh and clap. + +"Look, the puppy is chasing the kitten!" Anna says. + +"No, the kitten is chasing the puppy!" Ben says. + +They argue a little, but they are still happy. + +The film ends and they see the puppy and the kitten cuddle. They say "aww" and hug each other. + +"Did you like the film?" their mom asks. + +"Yes, we liked it a lot!" Anna and Ben say. + +They thank their mom for the film and go to bed. They dream of having a puppy and a kitten of their own. They smile in their sleep. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play with toys. One day, they found a big cardboard box in the garage. They decided to make a fort with it. They cut out windows and doors and drew pictures on the walls. + +"Look at our fort!" Lily said. "It is so cool and tough. No one can break it." + +"Yes, it is the best fort ever," Ben said. "We can hide in it and have fun." + +But then, their little brother Sam came along. He wanted to play with them too. He knocked on the door of the fort and said, "Can I come in? I want to play with you." + +Lily and Ben did not like Sam. They thought he was annoying and messy. They hated sharing their toys with him. They said, "No, you can't come in. This is our fort. Go away." + +Sam felt sad and angry. He said, "That is not fair. You are mean. I will break your fort." + +He kicked the cardboard box with his foot. The box was not very tough. It tore and collapsed. Lily and Ben cried. They had lost their fort. + +Their mom heard the noise and came to see what happened. She saw the broken box and the crying children. She said, "What did you do? Why did you fight?" + +Lily and Ben blamed Sam. They said, "He broke our fort. He is bad. We hate him." + +Sam said, "They did not let me play. They are mean. I hate them." + +Mom shook her head. She said, "You are all wrong. You should not hate each other. You are brothers and sister. You should love and help each other. You should share and play nicely. That is what makes a family happy and strong. Not a cardboard fort." + +She hugged them and said, "I love you all. Do you love me?" + +Lily, Ben and Sam nodded. They said, "We love you, mom." + +Mom said, "Then, can you love each other too?" + +Lily, Ben and Sam looked at each other. They felt sorry for what they did. They said, "We are sorry. We love each other too." + +They hugged and said, "Can we make a new fort together?" + +Mom smiled and said, "Yes, you can. But this time, make it with love, not hate." +Tom was a sailor who liked to dive in the sea. He had a big boat with a flag and a net. He wanted to catch many fish for his friends. One day, he saw a fair girl on the shore. She had long hair and a pretty dress. She waved at him and smiled. + +"Hello, sailor!" she called. "Do you want to come and play with me?" + +Tom was curious and happy. He left his boat and swam to the shore. He wanted to talk to the fair girl and see her dress. He did not know that she was a bad girl. She was a witch who liked to trick sailors. + +When Tom reached the shore, the fair girl grabbed his hand and pulled him to a cave. She had a big pot and a fire. She wanted to cook Tom and eat him. + +"Ha ha ha!" she laughed. "You are a silly sailor. You fell for my trap. Now you will be my dinner!" + +Tom was scared and sad. He tried to run away, but the fair girl was stronger. She pushed him into the pot and closed the lid. Tom screamed and cried, but no one heard him. He wished he had stayed on his boat and dived in the sea. He wished he had never seen the fair girl. He was a sailor who liked to dive, but he never dived again. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play with blocks. They liked to measure how tall they could make their towers with a ruler. They also liked to measure how long they could balance their towers before they fell down. + +One day, they decided to have a contest. They each had a pile of blocks and a ruler. They said, "Ready, set, go!" and started to build their towers. They wanted to see who could make the tallest tower by noon, when Mom would call them for lunch. + +Ben and Lily worked hard and fast. They added more and more blocks to their towers. They measured them with the ruler and said, "Mine is taller!" or "No, mine is taller!" They did not notice that their towers were getting very wobbly and shaky. + +At noon, Mom came to the door and said, "Ben, Lily, time for lunch!" She saw their towers and said, "Wow, you made such lively towers! How tall are they?" + +Ben and Lily ran to their towers with their rulers. They wanted to show Mom how tall they were. But as they ran, they bumped into their towers. The towers wobbled and shook and then crashed to the ground. The blocks flew everywhere and hit Ben and Lily. They cried out in pain and surprise. + +Mom ran to them and hugged them. She said, "Oh, no, are you okay? I'm sorry, your towers are gone. You worked so hard on them." + +Ben and Lily sobbed and said, "We wanted to win the contest. We wanted to make the tallest tower. But we made them too wobbly and they fell down. We are sorry, Mom." + +Mom said, "It's okay, sweeties. It was just a game. You can make new towers another day. But next time, be careful and don't run near them. Come on, let's go inside and have some lunch. You must be hungry." + +Ben and Lily nodded and followed Mom. They still felt sad and sore. They wished they had not made such lively towers. They wished they had made safer and stronger towers. They learned a lesson that day. +Anna and Ben like to play in the bath. They have many toys to make bubbles and splash. But their favorite thing is to twist the drain and watch the water go away. They pretend they are in a big whirlpool and make funny noises. + +One day, they twist the drain too hard and it comes off. The water starts to go away very fast and makes a loud sound. Anna and Ben are scared and cry for Mom. + +Mom comes and sees the drain on the floor and the water almost gone. She is not happy and tells Anna and Ben to get out of the bath. She picks up the drain and tries to put it back. But it does not fit. It is the wrong drain. She looks at Anna and Ben and asks them where they got it. + +Anna and Ben look at each other and remember. They found the drain in the garage when they were playing hide and seek. They thought it was a cool toy and took it to the bath. They did not know it was not the original drain. They say sorry to Mom and tell her the truth. + +Mom sighs and hugs them. She says they should not take things that are not theirs and they should be careful with the bath. She says she will find the original drain and fix it. She tells them to dry off and get dressed. She says they can play in the bath again, but only with their toys and not with the drain. Anna and Ben nod and say they will. They love Mom and they love the bath. But they will not twist the drain anymore. +Lily and Anna were sisters. They liked to play with dolls and dress up. Lily was older and she knew many things. Anna was younger and she wanted to learn from Lily. + +One day, Lily said, "Let's play princess and dragon. I will be the princess and you will be the dragon. You have to roar and try to catch me. I will run and hide in the castle." + +Anna nodded and said, "Okay, I will be the dragon. But I don't know how to roar. Can you show me?" + +Lily smiled and said, "Sure, I will show you. You have to open your mouth wide and make a loud noise like this: Rrrrrrrr!" + +Anna tried to copy Lily and said, "Rrrrrrrr!" But her voice was small and squeaky. Lily laughed and said, "That's not a roar, that's a squeak. You have to try harder. Come on, let's play." + +They ran outside and Lily pretended to be a princess. She wore a pink dress and a crown. Anna pretended to be a dragon. She wore a green scarf and a hat with horns. Lily ran and hid behind a tree. Anna followed her and tried to roar. But she still sounded like a squeak. + +Lily peeked from behind the tree and said, "You are a funny dragon. You don't scare me at all. You are an ordinary dragon. I am a special princess." + +Anna felt sad and said, "I am not an ordinary dragon. I am a special dragon. I can do something that you can't do." + +Lily said, "Oh, really? What can you do that I can't do?" + +Anna said, "I can breathe fire!" + +Lily said, "No, you can't. That's silly. Only real dragons can breathe fire. You are just pretending." + +Anna said, "No, I am not. Watch this!" + +Anna opened her mouth wide and blew hard. She had a secret. She had hidden a spray bottle with water and red food coloring in her scarf. When she blew, she sprayed the water and made it look like fire. + +Lily saw the red spray and screamed. She thought Anna was really breathing fire. She ran away from the tree and said, "Help! Help! The dragon is breathing fire!" + +Anna chased Lily and roared. But this time, she roared with a big smile. She said, "I told you I am a special dragon. I can breathe fire. And you are an ordinary princess. You can't do anything." + +Lily stopped running and looked at Anna. She saw the spray bottle in her scarf and realized it was a trick. She said, "Hey, that's not fair. You cheated. You used a spray bottle. That's not fire, that's water." + +Anna said, "So what? It was fun. You thought I was really breathing fire. You were scared. I got you." + +Lily said, "No, you didn't. I was not scared. I was surprised. You are a clever dragon. But I am a clever princess too. I have a secret too." + +Anna said, "What secret?" + +Lily said, "I have a magic wand. And I can turn you into a frog." + +Anna said, "No, you can't. That's silly. Only real princesses can use magic. You are just pretending." + +Lily said, "No, I am not. Watch this!" + +Lily reached into her dress and pulled out a stick with a star on the end. She had hidden it there before they played. She pointed it at Anna and said, "Abracadabra! You are a frog!" + +Anna felt a tickle on her nose. She had another secret. She had put a sticker of a frog on her hat. When Lily said the magic word, she moved her hat and made the sticker show. + +Lily saw the frog sticker and laughed. She said, "You are a funny frog. You don't hop or croak. You are an ordinary frog. I am a special princess." + +Anna said, "I am not an ordinary frog. I am a special frog. I can do something that you can't do." + +Lily said, "Oh, really? What can you do that I can't do?" + +Anna said, "I can kiss you and turn you into a frog too." + +Lily said, "No, you can't. That's silly. Only real frogs can do that. You are just pretending." + +Anna said, "No, I am not. Watch this!" + +Anna jumped on Lily and gave her a big kiss on the cheek. Lily felt a wet and sticky kiss and said, "Eww! That's gross. You kissed me. You are a silly frog. But I am a silly princess +Tom and Lily are playing in the park. They see a big round thing. It is red and shiny. They want to touch it. + +"Look, Lily, a round thing!" Tom says. + +"Let's go, Tom, it is pretty!" Lily says. + +They run to the round thing. But when they get close, they hear a loud noise. It is a fire alarm. The round thing is a fire hydrant. Water comes out of it. It is very strong. It pushes Tom and Lily away. + +"Help, help!" Tom and Lily cry. + +A man comes to help them. He turns off the water. He picks up Tom and Lily. He gives them a towel. + +"Are you okay, kids?" he asks. + +"That was terrible!" Tom says. + +"That was scary!" Lily says. + +"I'm sorry, kids, that was an accident. The fire hydrant was broken. You should not play with it. It is dangerous," the man says. + +"Thank you, mister, for saving us," Tom and Lily say. + +"You're welcome, kids. Be careful next time. And have fun in the park," the man says. + +He smiles and leaves. Tom and Lily hug each other. They are wet and cold. But they are happy. They are safe. They learned a lesson. They will not touch the round thing again. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a ball and a bike. They take turns to kick the ball and ride the bike. + +One day, they see a big tree with red apples. They want to pick some apples and eat them. They run to the tree and look for the best apples. + +"Look, Mia, this one is big and shiny!" Tom says. He reaches for the apple. + +"No, Tom, that one is mine!" Mia says. She pulls Tom's hand away. "I saw it first!" + +Tom and Mia start to fight. They push and pull and shout. They forget about the ball and the bike. + +A dog sees the ball and the bike. He thinks they are toys. He runs to the park and grabs the ball. He bites it and makes it flat. He sees the bike and jumps on it. He makes it fall and break. + +Tom and Mia hear a loud noise. They pause and look at the dog. They see the ball and the bike. They are sad and angry. + +"Hey, dog, stop it!" Tom yells. He runs to the dog and tries to get the ball. + +"Go away, dog, that's our bike!" Mia yells. She runs to the bike and tries to fix it. + +The dog barks and runs away. He is scared of Tom and Mia. He leaves the ball and the bike. + +Tom and Mia look at the ball and the bike. They are ruined. They start to cry. + +They look at each other. They feel sorry. They hug and say sorry. + +"I'm sorry, Mia, I should have shared the apple with you," Tom says. + +"I'm sorry, Tom, I should have let you have the apple," Mia says. + +They look at the tree. There are still many apples. They pick some apples and share them. They are happy. They are friends. +Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They saw a big hedge with red berries on it. They wondered how the berries would taste. + +"Let's try some," Tom said. He picked a berry and put it in his mouth. + +"Yuck!" he spat. "This is sour and bitter. It tastes bad." + +Lily laughed. She picked a berry and smelled it. It smelled sweet and juicy. She bit it and smiled. + +"Mmm, this is good. It tastes like candy," she said. + +Tom looked at her. He was confused. How could they taste different? + +He looked at the hedge again. He saw that some berries were bright red and shiny, and some were dark red and wrinkly. + +"Maybe these are spoiled," he said, pointing at the dark ones. "They look old and sick. Maybe they make you sick too." + +Lily nodded. She understood. She threw away the dark berry she had in her hand. + +"Let's only eat the bright ones," she said. "They are fresh and yummy." + +They ate some more bright berries. They tasted sweet and tangy. They liked them a lot. + +They filled their pockets with berries and ran back to the house. They wanted to share them with their mom and dad. + +They hoped they would like them too. +Tom and Lily were playing in the park. They saw a big hill with a hole in it. They wanted to see what was inside. + +"Let's go and look," Tom said. + +"Maybe it is a secret cave," Lily said. + +They ran to the hill and peeked into the hole. It was dark and quiet. They heard a loud snore. + +"Shh, there is something sleeping in there," Tom whispered. + +"Maybe it is a giant," Lily whispered back. + +They were curious and scared. They wanted to poke the giant and see what it looked like. Tom picked up a stick and reached into the hole. He poked the giant's nose. + +The giant woke up with a roar. He was angry and hungry. He had big teeth and claws. He was dangerous. + +"Run!" Tom shouted. + +"Help!" Lily screamed. + +They dropped the stick and ran away from the hole. The giant chased them. He was fast and loud. + +Tom and Lily ran to their mom and dad. They were sitting on a bench. They saw the giant and were shocked. + +"Mom, dad, there is a giant in the hill!" Tom and Lily cried. + +"Where?" their mom and dad asked. + +They looked at the hill. The giant was gone. He had gone back to sleep. + +"It was there, we saw it, we poked it!" Tom and Lily said. + +Their mom and dad did not believe them. They thought they were making up a story. + +"Come on, let's go home. It is time for dinner," their mom said. + +"Maybe it was a dream," their dad said. + +Tom and Lily knew it was not a dream. They had seen the giant. They had poked the giant.

You could have started a fire or choked. And look at your hair and clothes. They are ruined. You have to go to the barber and the store now. No cake, no party, no presents for you today.

He tried and tried, but he could not get in. + +Then he thought of a plan. He saw a big scale on the edge of the pond, and he decided to jump on top of it. Tom jumped and jumped until he was on the scale. He used it as his ladder and slowly climbed down into the empty pond. Tom was so excited! + +He started to swim around, enjoying the cool water. He was having so much fun. Then he heard a voice call out: + +"Tom the Fish, it is time to come out of the water."

Now, taking care of my wheat will always be our job!†+ +The father and son smiled and they both knew that they were doing something special. They had planted wheat together which would feed many people, which was even more impressive. +Once upon a time, there was a little boy who loved to explore the world around him.

"Tasty ice cream," replied the little boy. + +The crocodile was very surprised. He said, "Ice cream? That sounds so yummy! I want to try it one day." The little boy smiled and said, "Maybe one day I can bring you some. It would be very tasty." + +The two of them talked for another minute or two before the little boy had to go home.

The cat loved the bright colors of each flower, so everyday the cat would go out to pick them. + +One day, when the cat was picking a flower, it got a sneeze.

The cat said, "I was picking a flower when I sneezed and now I have to start again." + +The bird said, "Sneezing is no reason to be mad! I can help you pick the flowers again, then you can be happy!" + +The cat was very happy to hear this. The bird and the cat picked the flowers together, and soon the cat was smiling again. The two were the best of friends and they picked flowers together forever after. +Once upon a time, there were two best friends, John and Sue. They were walking in a park and saw a clear pie. + +John said, "Oh, Sue, let's eat that yummy pie." + +But Sue said, "No, John. We can't do that. If we eat it, someone else won't be able to have it." + +John was sad and said, "Ok, I understand. But now what should we do?" + +Sue smiled and said, "Let's save it and give it to someone who is hungry." + +So, they picked up the pie and walked to the nearest homeless shelter. When they arrived, they gave the clear pie to one of the homeless people. + +The homeless man was very happy. He smiled and said, "Thank you both so much! You saved me from being hungry today." + +John and Sue were happy that they had done a good thing.

He was so sad he started to cry. His grandpa came over, put his arm around him and said, "Don't worry, I can restore your chess set so it's perfect and flexible!" + +Jack was confused. He asked his grandpa how he could restore the pieces. His grandpa just smiled and said, "You'll see! Just wait and trust me." + +The next day, Jack and his grandpa went to the store to buy some special glue. After they got home, they worked together at the kitchen table to glue all the pieces back together. When they finished, the pieces looked brand new, even better than they had before! Jack was amazed. + +His grandpa explained, "See, son? Even when things seem broken and hopeless, you can always restore them back to their original state with a bit of patience and elbow grease.

She looked closely and said, "Oh, my. You need to be more careful next time. Ice-cream is so cool, but remember to take small bites so it doesn't hurt your tooth." + +Sarah learned the lesson and from that day forward, she only took tiny bites when she tasted her favorite ice-cream. + +The moral of the story is that it can be tempting to try new things, but it is important to do it carefully and with caution. +Once upon a time, there was a little boy called Jack who loved playing games with his friends.

He felt guilty for taking the special card and wanted to pass. His friends said it wasn't fair and asked him to show them his card. + +Jack hesitated for a moment, but then he showed them the card. It had the highest number on it, and he knew he had won the game. His friends were unhappy, but they accepted the result. When he saw their disappointed faces, Jack felt even more guilty.

He sang a sweet, beautiful song that cheered him up a bit. But the further he flew, the more the gloom seemed to grow. + +Just then, he heard a voice coming from below. "My friend! Don't be sad.

It is a reminder that wisdom is dead.†+ +The little boy looked confused, so the wise old man explained: “Wisdom used to be alive and well, but sadly it is now only a memory.

They went and played some other games and had lots of fun. + +Moral: It's important +There was a little girl called Mia. She was three years old.

Look at the rat!" + +John went over and said, "That rat might be useful. Let's try to catch it!" + +Jack and John followed the rat around the bush. Once they had it trapped, Jack suggested, "Let's lock it up in a cage for now."

So all the family walked in a line, down a big hill to the beach. + +Sophie ran around and shouted, "We are here on vacation!" + +Momma and Daddy shared a smile and said, "Yes we are and it's time to enjoy it". + +The family spent the next few days playing, swimming and laughing in the warm sun.

Everyone has their own special flag to carry in the parade. You can still join the parade with your pink flag. Don't worry about being different." + +Lucy smiled and ran back to join the other kids.

When they were outside, Daisy's mom shouted: "Daisy! Where are you going? It's raining!" Daisy proudly yelled back "I'm going to explore!" + +Daisy's mom felt worried, but she also realized this was a great opportunity to teach Daisy a lesson. She said: "Daisy, I know you wanted to explore but it's not very responsible of you to go outside when it is raining. You should always ask for permission first, or else you could get hurt." Daisy felt a bit embarrassed and nodded to show that she understood. + +After that day, Daisy was always careful and asked her mom and dad before she went outside. The moral of the story is that it's important to be responsible and take care of yourself, even when you are feeling careless. +Once upon a time there was a big tree in a forest.

Sweetie was sad. + +One day Sweetie saw a big, red dress. He asked a lovely butterfly if he could borrow it. The butterfly said, "Yes," but warned him that it was fragile. + +Sweetie took the dress and hopped away. But it was too big and he started to suffer. He stumbled a few times in the dress and eventually, it was completely ripped. + +The butterfly came back to see Sweetie and said, "Don't worry, Sweetie. Being fashionable is not as important as being safe and happy." + +Sweetie agreed and felt much better. He realized it was better to be safe than fashionable. +Once upon a time, there was a big, unknown castle. Inside the castle lived two best friends, a little girl and her toy bunny.

She was three years old and loved exploring her garden. Today, Jean's mom said she could play with her toys outside. + +Jean found a toy chain, so she decided to try it out. But little did she know that she would disagree with the chain's habits. + +At first, it was fun putting the chain around her neck, but then it started growing longer and tighter. Jean tried to take it off, but it wouldn't budge. + +Suddenly, Jean got scared. She started to cry and asked, "Mom, why won't the chain come off?" Her mom said, "Don't worry, Jean.

They liked to build tall towers and bridges with the blocks. Tom was very happy and proud of his creations. + +Suddenly, the house started to shake and make loud noises. The blocks fell down and the pictures on the wall moved. Tom was scared and did not know what was happening. He ran to his mom and hugged her tight. + +"Mom, what is this?" he asked. + +"This is an earthquake, Tom. It is when the ground moves and breaks. Sometimes it can make things fall or break too. We have to be careful and stay together," his mom said. + +She picked up Tom and carried him to a safe place under a table. She covered him with a blanket and told him to close his eyes and breathe slowly. She said they would be okay and they had to wait until the earthquake stopped. + +Tom felt his mom's arms around him and tried to be brave. He hoped the earthquake would stop soon and that his dad and his dog were safe too. He did not like the earthquake. It made him suffer and feel sad. He wished it would never happen again. +Sara and Lily were best friends. They liked to play with dolls and draw pictures. They always shared their toys and snacks. They made a promise to be friends forever. + +One day, they went to the park with their moms. They saw a big slide and ran to it. Sara went first and slid down fast. She laughed and waited for Lily. But Lily was scared. She did not want to slide. She said, "Sara, I don't like the slide. Can we play something else?" + +Sara was angry. She said, "Lily, you are a baby. The slide is fun. You have to slide with me. Or I will not be your friend anymore." She grabbed Lily's hand and tried to pull her to the slide. + +Lily cried and said, "No, Sara, no. Let me go. You are hurting me. You are a bad friend." She pulled her hand back and ran to her mom. + +Sara was sad and sorry. She said, "Lily, wait. I was careless. I did not mean to hurt you. Please come back. I want to play with you." + +But Lily did not hear her. She hugged her mom and said, "Mom, Sara was mean to me. She broke our promise. I don't want to be her friend anymore." + +Sara and Lily separated. They did not play together again. They lost their best friend. They were both unhappy. +Lily and Tom were best friends. They liked to play in the garden and look at the flowers. One day, they found a big box near the fence. They opened the box and saw many seeds inside. + +"Wow, look at these seeds!" Lily said. "Maybe we can plant them and make our own flowers!" + +"Good idea!" Tom said. "Let's find a spot in the garden and dig some holes." + +They took some seeds and a shovel and went to a corner of the garden. They dug some holes and put the seeds in them. Then they covered them with dirt and watered them. + +"Done!" Lily said. "Now we have to wait and see what happens." + +They waited and waited, but nothing happened. The seeds did not grow or bloom. They felt sad and bored. + +"Maybe the seeds are bad," Tom said. "Maybe we should throw them away and find something else to play with." + +"No, don't do that!" Lily said. "Maybe they just need more time and care. Maybe they will bloom later. We have to be patient and kind." + +Tom thought about it and nodded. "You're right, Lily. We should not give up on the seeds. We should keep watering them and talking to them. Maybe they will surprise us one day." + +They decided to keep taking care of the seeds. Every day, they watered them and said jolly words to them. They hoped that the seeds would hear them and feel happy. + +One morning, they went to the garden and saw something amazing. The seeds had sprouted and bloomed into beautiful flowers of different colors and shapes. They were so bright and pretty that they made the whole garden look like a rainbow. + +"Wow, look at our flowers!" Lily said. "They are so lovely and cheerful! They finally bloomed!" + +"They did!" Tom said. "They bloomed because we were patient and kind. We did not give up on them. We helped them grow and shine." + +They hugged each other and smiled. They were so proud and happy. They learned that good things take time and effort, and that patience and kindness are rewarded. They enjoyed their flowers and shared them with their friends and family. They made everyone jolly with their gift. +Lily and True were best friends. True was a big dog with brown fur and a wet nose. Lily liked to hug True and play with him in the yard. They had a lot of fun together. + +One day, Lily and True saw a new toy in the yard. It was a ball with a bell inside. It made a jingly sound when it moved. Lily and True wanted to play with the ball. They ran to the ball and took turns to bite it and shake it. + +But the ball was not a toy. It was a trap. It had a sharp thing inside that hurt True when he shook it. True yelped and let go of the ball. He felt a lot of pain in his mouth. He tried to lick his wound, but it was too deep. He started to bleed. + +Lily saw the blood and got scared. She cried and called for help. She hugged True and told him to be okay. But True was not okay. He was very sick. He could not stand up or wag his tail. He was very quiet. + +Lily's mom heard the cry and came to the yard. She saw the ball and the blood and True. She gasped and ran to them. She picked up True and put him in the car. She told Lily to come with her. They drove to the vet. + +But it was too late. The vet said that True had died. He said that the ball had poison in it. He said that someone had put it there to hurt True. He said that he was very sorry. + +Lily was very sad. She could not believe that True was gone. She could not stop crying. She missed True so much. She wished that they had never seen the ball. She wished that True was still alive. She wished that they could play together again. +Anna likes to sing songs. She sings when she wakes up, when she plays, and when she goes to bed. She knows many songs, and she likes to share them with others. + +One day, she goes to the park with her mom. She sees a boy sitting on a bench. He looks sad. Anna wants to make him happy. She walks up to him and says, "Hi, I'm Anna. Do you want to hear a song?" + +The boy shakes his head. He says, "No, thank you. I don't like songs. They are too loud and silly." + +Anna feels frustrated. She likes songs. She thinks they are fun and nice. She says, "But songs can make you feel better. They can make you smile and laugh. They can make you forget your troubles. Please, let me sing you a song." + +The boy shakes his head again. He says, "No, I don't want to hear a song. I want to be alone. Go away." + +Anna feels sad. She doesn't understand why the boy doesn't like songs. She thinks he is missing out on something wonderful. She says, "Okay, I'm sorry. I hope you feel better soon." She walks away, humming a song to herself. + +She sees a girl swinging on a swing. She looks happy. Anna wants to join her. She runs up to her and says, "Hi, I'm Anna. Do you want to hear a song?" + +The girl nods. She says, "Yes, please. I love songs. They are so fun and nice. What song do you know?" + +Anna feels happy. She likes the girl. She thinks they have something in common. She says, "I know many songs. How about this one?" She starts to sing a song about a rainbow. + +The girl smiles. She says, "I like this song. It's so colorful and cheerful. Can I sing with you?" + +Anna nods. She says, "Of course. Let's sing together." They sing the song, loud and silly. They laugh and swing. They become friends. They share their songs. +Tim and Sam are brothers. They like to play on the porch. The porch has a big box with toys. Tim and Sam share the toys, but sometimes they fight. + +One day, Tim and Sam find a thick book in the box. The book has many pictures and words. Tim wants to look at the book. He says, "This is my book. I found it first." + +Sam says, "No, this is our book. We share the box. Let me see it too." + +Tim says, "No, you can't. It is too thick for you. You are too little." + +Sam says, "I am not too little. I can read some words. You are mean." + +Tim and Sam start to pull the book. They both want the book. They yell and cry. + +Mom hears them. She comes to the porch. She sees Tim and Sam fighting. She says, "Stop it, boys. What is going on?" + +Tim and Sam tell Mom about the book. Mom says, "The book is not yours. It is mine. I put it in the box by mistake. It is a special book. It is from Grandma. She gave it to me when I was little. It has stories and poems and songs. I love this book." + +Tim and Sam feel sorry. They say, "We are sorry, Mom. We didn't know. Can you read us the book?" + +Mom says, "Of course, I can. Come here, boys. Let's sit on the porch and read the book together. Maybe we can learn some new words and sing some songs. Grandma would be happy to see us enjoy her book." + +Tim and Sam hug Mom. They say, "Thank you, Mom. We love you. We love Grandma. We love the book." + +Mom smiles. She opens the book. She reads the first page. It says, "To my dear daughter, with love from Grandma." Mom says, "This is how the book begins. Are you ready to hear more?" + +Tim and Sam say, "Yes, Mom. We are ready. Please read us the book." +Sara and Ben are friends. They like to play with blocks and cars. But sometimes they fight. Sara wants to build a big tower. Ben wants to make a long road. They do not share the blocks and cars. They yell and push each other. + +Mom sees them fighting. She is not happy. She says, "Sara and Ben, you need to improve. You need to be kind and share. You need to use your words, not your hands. Fighting is not good. Sharing is good. Do you understand?" + +Sara and Ben nod. They feel sorry. They say, "We are sorry, Mom. We will improve. We will be kind and share. We will use our words, not our hands." Mom smiles. She says, "That is good. I love you both. Now, can you play together nicely?" + +Sara and Ben hug Mom. They say, "We love you, Mom. Thank you for helping us." Then they go back to play. They decide to build a big tower and a long road together. They share the blocks and cars. They say nice things to each other. They have fun. + +Mom watches them play. She is happy. She thinks, "Sara and Ben are ready. They are ready to learn and grow. They are ready to be good friends. They are ready to show love." She is proud of them. She hopes they will always improve. +One day, a dog was very hungry. He walked around the street, looking for food. He saw a big house with a garden. He smelled something tasty inside. He wanted to enter the house and eat the food. + +He jumped over the fence and ran to the door. He scratched the door with his paws. He barked loudly. He hoped someone would open the door for him. + +The owner of the house heard the noise. He was a kind man who liked animals. He opened the door and saw the dog. He said, "Hello, little dog. Are you hungry? Do you want some food?" + +The dog wagged his tail and licked the man's hand. He was happy and friendly. He nodded his head and followed the man inside the house. + +The man gave the dog a bowl of tasty meat and water. He petted the dog and said, "You are a good dog. You can stay here with me if you want. I will take care of you." + +The dog ate the meat and drank the water. He felt full and warm. He thanked the man with his eyes and snuggled next to him. He was glad he entered the house and met the owner. He had found a new home and a new friend. +Tim and Sue were twins who liked to play in the forest. They found a big rock that they could sit on and look at the trees and animals. One day, they saw a small acorn on the ground near the rock. Tim picked it up and said, "Look, Sue, I have a powerful seed. I can make a big tree with it." Sue said, "No, Tim, you can't. You need to plant it in the soil and water it and wait for a long time. You can't just make a tree with a seed." + +Tim did not listen to Sue. He said, "Yes, I can. Watch me." He threw the acorn as hard as he could at the rock. He hoped that the acorn would crack the rock and make a hole for the tree to grow. But the acorn did not crack the rock. It bounced back and hit Tim on the head. Tim cried out in pain and dropped to the ground. Sue ran to him and hugged him. She said, "Are you okay, Tim? I'm sorry you got hurt. But you should have listened to me. You can't make a tree with a seed. You need to be patient and gentle and care for it." + +Tim rubbed his head and said, "I'm sorry, Sue. You were right. I was silly and foolish. I wanted to be powerful and make a big tree, but I only hurt myself and the acorn. Can we plant it together and watch it grow?" Sue smiled and said, "Of course, Tim. I'm glad you learned your lesson. Come on, let's find a good spot for the acorn." They took the acorn and dug a small hole in the soil. They put the acorn in the hole and covered it with dirt. They watered it with their water bottle and said, "Good luck, little acorn. We hope you become a big and beautiful tree someday." They kissed the acorn and went back to the rock. They sat on the rock and looked at the trees and animals. They felt happy and peaceful. They learned that being powerful is not about breaking things, but about making things grow. +Tom and Lily are twins. They sleep in the same crib. One night, it is very hot. Tom and Lily are sweaty and thirsty. They cannot sleep. + +"Tom, I am hot. Are you hot?" Lily asks. + +"Yes, Lily, I am hot. I want some water. Do you want some water?" Tom answers. + +"Yes, Tom, I want some water. But how can we get some water? Mom and Dad are sleeping. We cannot get out of the crib." Lily says. + +"Maybe we can call Mom and Dad. They will hear us and give us some water. Let's try." Tom says. + +"OK, Tom, let's try. Mom! Dad! We are hot! We want some water!" Lily and Tom shout together. + +Mom and Dad hear Lily and Tom. They wake up and go to their crib. They see Lily and Tom are hot and sweaty. They feel sorry for them. + +"Hi, Lily and Tom. We heard you. You are hot. You want some water. We are sorry.

Ben has a bandage on his arm and a pillow under his head. + +Sara says, "Hello, patient. I am Doctor Sara. How do you feel today?" Ben says, "I feel ouchy. My arm hurts and my head is hot." Sara says, "Let me check your body. I will be careful. Do not worry." She puts the stethoscope on Ben's chest and listens. She writes on the clipboard. She looks at Ben's arm and says, "You have a boo-boo. I will give you a new bandage." + +Sara takes off the old bandage and puts on a new one. She says, "There. That is better. Now I will order some medicine for you. You need to drink water and eat soup. That will make you feel good." She pretends to call the nurse and says, "Nurse, please bring water and soup for patient Ben. Thank you." She hangs up the phone and says, "The nurse will come soon. You have to stay in bed and rest. I will come back later to see you." + +Ben says, "Thank you, Doctor Sara. You are a good doctor. You make me feel better." Sara says, "You are welcome, patient Ben. You are a brave patient. You listen to my orders. I am proud of you." They smile at each other and hug. They like to play doctor and patient. They are good friends. +Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a man with a big wallet. The man puts the wallet on a bench and walks away. + +"Look, Tom, a wallet!" Sam says. "Maybe it has money inside. Let's take it and buy candy." + +"No, Sam, that is bad. The wallet is not ours. The man will come back and look for it. He will be sad and angry," Tom says. + +But Sam does not listen. He runs to the bench and grabs the wallet. He waves to Tom and says, "Come on, Tom, let's go. We are successful. We have a wallet." + +Tom is scared. He does not want to go with Sam. He wants to stay and wait for the man. He shouts, "Sam, stop! Give the wallet back! That is wrong!" + +But Sam does not stop. He runs away with the wallet. He thinks he is smart and lucky. He does not see the big dog that is chasing him. The dog is hungry and angry. It wants the wallet too. + +The dog catches Sam and bites him. Sam drops the wallet and screams. The dog runs away with the wallet. Sam is hurt and sad. He cries for Tom and for help. + +Tom runs to Sam and tries to help him. He is sorry for Sam and for the man. He says, "Sam, why did you do that? That was bad. You should not take things that are not yours. Now you are hurt and the man has no wallet. You are not successful. You are in trouble." + +The man comes back and sees Sam and Tom. He sees his wallet is gone. He is sad and angry. He calls the police and tells them what happened. The police come and take Sam and Tom away. They are not happy. They are in trouble too. + +The end. +Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to jump on the grass and look at the flowers. They saw a big red tomato on a plant. Lily wanted to pick it and eat it. + +"Look, Ben, a tomato! Can we have it?" Lily asked. + +Ben shook his head. "No, Lily, we have to ask Mom first. She grows the tomatoes and she knows when they are ready. Maybe this one is not good yet." + +Lily frowned. She was hungry and the tomato looked yummy. She reached for it with her hand. But then she heard a loud bark. A big dog was running towards them. It had sharp teeth and angry eyes. + +"Run, Lily, run!" Ben shouted. He grabbed Lily's hand and they ran to the house. The dog chased them and tried to bite them. + +They reached the door and opened it. They slammed it shut behind them. The dog barked and scratched at the door, but it could not get in. + +Lily and Ben hugged each other. They were scared, but they were safe. Mom came and saw them. She asked what happened. + +"A dog, Mom, a big bad dog! It wanted to eat us and the tomato!" Lily cried. + +Mom hugged them and said, "Oh, you poor things! That's Mr. Brown's dog. He is very mean and he sometimes gets out of his yard. I will call Mr. Brown and tell him to keep his dog away from our garden. You did well to run to the house. You are brave and smart." + +She gave them a kiss and said, "Now, how about a snack? I have some fresh tomatoes for you. They are ripe and sweet. Do you want some?" + +Lily and Ben nodded. They smiled and said, "Yes, please, Mom. We love tomatoes. Thank you!" + +They followed Mom to the kitchen and ate some tomatoes. They were delicious and juicy. They forgot about the dog and the scare. They were happy and full. +Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park with their toys. One day, they found a big balloon. It was red and shiny and light. They both wanted to hold it. + +"Give me the balloon!" Lily said. + +"No, it's mine!" Ben said. + +They pulled and pulled on the balloon. They did not share. They did not listen. They did not remain calm. The balloon popped. It made a loud noise. They both cried. + +They looked at each other. They felt sad. They felt sorry. They hugged and said sorry. + +"I'm sorry, Lily. You can have the balloon next time." Ben said. + +"I'm sorry, Ben. You can have the balloon too." Lily said. + +They smiled and wiped their tears. They were still best friends. They had big hearts. They went to find another toy to play with. They shared and listened and remained happy. +Lily liked peaches. They were sweet and juicy and orange. She liked to pick them from the tree in her garden. But she did not like the big black bird that lived in the tree. It was mean and loud and scary. It always tried to scare her away from the peaches. + +One day, Lily decided to be brave and get a peach for herself. She put on her hat and her shoes and went to the garden. She saw a big ripe peach on a low branch. She reached for it with her hand. But then she heard a squawk and a flap. The big black bird was coming for her! + +"Go away, go away!" the bird shouted. "These are my peaches, not yours!" + +Lily was scared. She wanted to run away. But she also wanted the peach. She had an idea. She grabbed the peach and threw it at the bird. The peach hit the bird on the head. The bird was surprised and angry. It flew away, rubbing its head. + +Lily smiled. She had scared the bird away. She picked another peach from the tree and ate it. It was delicious. She was happy. She had been brave and got a peach for herself. +Sara liked to play dress-up with her friends. She had many hats in her closet. Some were big, some were small, some were colorful, some were plain. She liked to try them on and pretend to be different people. + +One day, she invited Anna and Ben to her house. They were her popular friends. They always had fun together. They went to her room and opened her closet. Sara said, "Let's play dress-up! You can choose any hat you want." + +Anna picked a pink hat with flowers. She put it on and said, "I am a princess. I live in a castle. You are my guests." Ben picked a black hat with a star. He put it on and said, "I am a magician. I can do tricks. Watch this." He took a wand from his pocket and waved it. + +Sara looked for a hat. She saw a brown hat with a hole. She wondered what was inside. She picked it up and put it on. She felt something move on her head. She said, "I am a...a..." She did not know what to say. + +Anna and Ben looked at her. They saw something peek out of the hole. It was a furry ear. Then they saw another ear. Then they saw a nose. Then they saw two eyes. It was a rabbit! The rabbit jumped out of the hat and ran around the room. + +Sara, Anna, and Ben screamed. They were scared and surprised. They did not know how the rabbit got in the hat. They did not know what to do. The rabbit hopped on the bed, on the desk, on the chair. It knocked over books, toys, and pictures. + +Sara's mom heard the noise. She came to the room and saw the mess. She saw the rabbit. She said, "Oh, Sara, you found my old hat. I used to have a pet rabbit when I was a girl. He liked to hide in the hat. I forgot I still had it. I'm sorry he scared you. He is very friendly. Do you want to pet him?" + +Sara, Anna, and Ben calmed down. They looked at the rabbit. He looked cute and soft. They nodded. They went to the bed and petted the rabbit. He licked their hands and wiggled his nose. They smiled. They liked the rabbit. They said, "He is a nice rabbit. Can we play with him?" + +Sara's mom said, "Sure, you can play with him. But be careful. He likes to chew on things. And don't forget to put him back in the hat when you are done. He likes to sleep there." + +Sara, Anna, and Ben said, "Okay, thank you." They played with the rabbit and the hat. They had fun. They forgot about the other hats. They decided the brown hat with the hole was the best hat. It was a magic hat. It could reveal a surprise. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a ball and a kite. Lily likes the ball. Ben likes the kite. + +One day, they go to the park. Lily kicks the ball. Ben flies the kite. The kite is high in the sky. Ben is happy. Lily is happy too. + +But then, a big wind comes. The wind blows the kite away. Ben runs after the kite. He does not see the rope. The rope is on the ground. The rope is from the kite. Ben trips on the rope. He falls down. He hurts his knee. He cries. + +Lily hears Ben cry. She runs to him. She sees his knee. His knee is red. She says, "I am sorry, Ben. Are you OK?" + +Ben says, "No, I am not OK. I lost my kite. And my knee hurts. It is not fair." + +Lily says, "I have an idea. We can tie the rope to the ball. Then we can throw the ball in the air. It will be like a kite. And I have a band-aid. I can put it on your knee. It will make it better." + +Ben says, "Really? Do you think so?" + +Lily says, "Yes, I think so. Come on, let's try it." + +They tie the rope to the ball. They throw the ball in the air. The ball flies like a kite. They laugh. They have fun.

They always had fun, but they also wanted to win. One day, they decided to race to the park at noon, when the sun was high and bright. + +They got ready at their homes and met on the street. They had colorful helmets, gloves, and shoes. They looked at each other and smiled. "Are you ready?" Tom asked. "Yes, I am. Are you?" Jen answered. "Yes, I am. Let's go!" Tom said. They counted to three and started to race. + +They zoomed past the houses, the cars, and the trees. They dodged the dogs, the cats, and the birds. They were fast and brave. They did not look back or slow down. They only looked ahead, where the park was. They wanted to be the first to get there. + +But they did not see the big truck that was coming from the other side. The truck was loud and heavy. It had a horn that honked and a driver that shouted. It was too late to stop or turn. The truck hit Tom and Jen with a big crash. They flew off their scooters and landed on the ground. They did not move or make a sound. + +The truck stopped and the driver got out. He ran to Tom and Jen and called for help. He was scared and sorry. He did not mean to hurt them. He tried to wake them up, but they did not open their eyes. They were gone. The race was over. The park was empty. The sun was high and bright. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they went to the park with their mom and dad. They saw a big trail that went into the woods. Tom wanted to go on the trail and see what was there. Lily was not sure. She said, "Mom and dad told us to stay close. The trail is too far." + +Tom said, "Don't be a baby. It will be fun. Maybe we will find a treasure or a fairy. Come on, let's go." He took Lily's hand and ran to the trail. Lily was scared, but she followed Tom. She did not want to be alone. + +They ran on the trail for a long time. They did not see any treasure or fairy. They only saw trees and rocks and bugs. They did not hear their mom and dad. They were lost. Lily started to cry. She said, "Tom, this is bad. We should go back. Mom and dad will be mad and sad. They will not find us." + +Tom felt sorry. He said, "You are right, Lily. I was silly. I wanted to have an adventure, but I did not think. I am sorry I scared you. Let's go back and find mom and dad. They will be happy to see us." He hugged Lily and wiped her tears. + +They turned around and walked on the trail. They hoped to see the park soon. They were very obedient and did not run or talk. They just held hands and looked for the way out. They were happy when they saw a sign that said, "Park this way." They followed the sign and saw their mom and dad. They ran to them and hugged them. They said, "We are sorry. We went on the trail and got lost. We will not do it again." + +Mom and dad were relieved and glad. They said, "We are sorry, too. We did not see you go on the trail. We were worried and looking for you. We are happy you are safe. We love you." They kissed Tom and Lily and took them to the car. They went home and had a big hug and a snack. They learned a lesson and had a good day. +Lily and Ben are playing with matches. They like to see the fire and the smoke. They think it is fun and warm. + +"Look, I can make a big fire!" Ben says. He puts many matches together and lights them. The fire is very bright and hot. + +"No, Ben, that is bad!" Lily says. She is scared of the fire. She knows it can hurt them and the house. "We have to stop the fire!" + +But Ben does not listen. He likes the fire. He puts more matches on the fire. The fire grows bigger and bigger. + +Lily runs to get water. She finds a bucket and fills it with water. She runs back to the fire. She throws the water on the fire. The fire makes a loud noise and goes out. + +"Good job, Lily!" a voice says. It is Mom. She saw the smoke and came to see what was wrong. She is angry and sad. She hugs Lily and Ben. "You are safe, but you were very naughty. You should never play with matches. They are dangerous. They can burn you and the house. Do you understand?" + +Lily and Ben nod. They are sorry. They did not know how bad the fire was. They hug Mom and say sorry. Mom says she loves them, but they have to be careful. She takes the matches away and tells them to play with something else. Lily and Ben say yes and go to play with their toys. They do not want to play with matches anymore. They learned their lesson. +Lila liked to fold paper. She could make hats, boats, and birds with her paper. She learned how to fold from her big sister, who was very good at it. Lila wanted to be good at it too. + +One day, Lila wanted to show her paper bird to her friend, Max. She put on her hat, took her bird, and said to her mom, "I want to go to Max's house. I can walk by myself. I am independent." + +Her mom smiled and said, "You are very independent, Lila, but you still need to be careful. Max's house is not very far, but you have to cross the street. Do you remember how to cross the street?" + +Lila nodded and said, "Yes, mom. I have to look both ways, and wait for the green light, and hold someone's hand." + +Her mom said, "That's right. But you don't have anyone to hold your hand. How about I walk with you to Max's house, and then you can walk back by yourself?" + +Lila thought for a moment and said, "OK, mom. That sounds fair. But can I hold my bird instead of your hand?" + +Her mom laughed and said, "Sure, Lila. You can hold your bird. But you still have to pay attention to the street. Come on, let's go." + +Lila and her mom walked to Max's house, and Lila showed her paper bird to Max. Max liked it very much, and asked Lila to teach him how to fold one. Lila was happy to share her skill, and they had fun folding paper together. When it was time to go, Lila said goodbye to Max, and walked back to her house by herself. She felt very proud and independent. She had a good day. +Sara and Ben were best friends. They liked to play with dolls and cars in the garden. They also liked to share snacks after school. Sara always brought cookies and Ben always brought juice. + +One day, Sara saw a new girl in her class. Her name was Mia and she had long curly hair and a pink dress. Sara wanted to be friends with Mia. She thought Mia was pretty and cool. She asked Mia if she wanted to play with her. + +Mia said yes, but she did not like dolls and cars. She liked to play with glitter and stickers. She also did not like cookies and juice. She liked to eat candy and soda. She told Sara to replace her snacks with candy and soda if she wanted to be her friend. + +Sara agreed. She thought Mia was more fun than Ben. She did not tell Ben about Mia. She did not play with him in the garden. She did not share snacks with him after school. She only played with Mia. + +Ben was sad and lonely. He missed Sara. He did not understand why she did not want to be his friend anymore. He thought Sara was loyal and kind. He tried to talk to her, but she ignored him. She only talked to Mia. + +One day, Ben saw Sara and Mia laughing at him. They called him a baby and a bore. They said he had silly toys and yucky snacks. They threw glitter and stickers at him. They made him cry. + +Sara did not feel sorry for Ben. She thought he deserved it. She was happy with Mia. She thought Mia was her best friend. + +But Mia was not her best friend. Mia was mean and selfish. She did not care about Sara. She only used her to get candy and soda. She also had other friends that she liked more than Sara. She did not invite Sara to her birthday party. She did not give Sara a gift. She did not say thank you for the candy and soda. + +Sara was hurt and angry. She realized she had made a big mistake. She had replaced her true friend with a fake one. She had lost Ben's trust and friendship. She had no one to play with or share snacks with. She was alone and unhappy. + +The end. +Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play outside. But today it is raining. The rain is wet and cold. They cannot play outside. + +"Let's play inside," Lily says. "We can make a fort with pillows and blankets." + +"OK," Ben says. "That sounds great. Where can we make the fort?" + +Lily thinks. She sees a door. The door is big and brown. It leads to the basement. Lily has never been to the basement. She is curious. + +"Let's make the fort behind the door," Lily says. "Maybe there are some cool things in the basement." + +Ben nods. He likes to explore. He follows Lily to the door. They open the door. They see some stairs. The stairs go down to the basement. The basement is dark and quiet. + +"Are you scared?" Ben asks. + +Lily shakes her head. She is brave. She holds Ben's hand. They go down the stairs. They find some boxes and toys in the basement. They use them to make a fort. They have fun. + +The rain stops. The sun comes out. Lily and Ben hear Lily's mom calling them. + +"Lily, Ben, come upstairs. The rain is over. You can play outside now." + +Lily and Ben smile. They leave the fort. They go up the stairs. They close the door. They run outside. They see a rainbow. They are happy. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys and books. But when it is night, they have to go to bed. Sometimes they do not want to sleep. They want to have more fun. + +One night, they have a creative idea. They take their flashlight and some paper. They sit on their bed and make shadows on the wall. They pretend the shadows are animals and people. They make funny noises and stories. + +"Look, this is a dog. Woof, woof!" Lily says. + +"And this is a bird. Tweet, tweet!" Ben says. + +They giggle and have fun. They do not hear their mom coming to their room. + +"Hey, what are you two doing?" Mom says. She sees the flashlight and the paper. She is not angry, but she is surprised. + +"We are making shadows, Mom. It is fun!" Lily and Ben say. + +Mom smiles. She thinks they are very creative. But she also thinks they need to sleep. + +"I see. You are very creative. But it is night, and you need to rest. How about we read a story together, and then you turn off the flashlight and go to sleep?" Mom says. + +Lily and Ben agree. They love stories. Mom sits with them and reads a story. They listen and cuddle. Then they turn off the flashlight and say good night. They close their eyes and dream of shadows and stories. +Ben and Lily were friends. They liked to play outside in summer. They had a big garden with flowers and trees. One day, they saw a snail on a leaf. The snail was slow and had a shiny shell. + +"Look, a snail!" Ben said. "It is so small and cute." + +"Can we touch it?" Lily asked. + +"Be gentle," Ben said. "It is not a toy. It is alive." + +They took turns to stroke the snail with their fingers. The snail felt slimy and wet. It moved its head and eyes. It looked at them. + +"Hello, snail," Lily said. "Do you like our garden?" + +The snail did not answer. It crawled along the leaf. It was hungry. It wanted to eat some green. + +"Where are you going, snail?" Ben asked. + +"Maybe it is looking for food," Lily said. "Let's help it. We can find some leaves for it to eat." + +They looked around the garden. They saw some lettuce, some spinach, and some cabbage. They picked some of each and put them on a plate. They carried the plate to the snail. + +"Here, snail," Ben said. "We have some food for you. You can eat as much as you want." + +The snail smelled the food. It was happy. It slid off the leaf and onto the plate. It nibbled on the lettuce, the spinach, and the cabbage. It thanked Ben and Lily with a smile. + +"Yum, yum, yum," the snail said. "This is the best food ever. Thank you, Ben and Lily. You are very kind and helpful." + +Ben and Lily smiled back. They were glad to help the snail. They watched it eat and enjoy the food. They felt good. They made a new friend. +Lisa liked to mind her baby brother when mom was busy. She would sing to him, play with him, and give him a massage. A massage was when she rubbed his back and legs with her hands. It made him feel good and sleepy. + +One day, mom had to go to the store and asked Lisa to mind her brother. Lisa said yes and took him to his room. She put him on his bed and started to sing and massage him. He smiled and cooed. + +But then, he started to cry. Lisa did not know why. She tried to give him his toy, his bottle, and his blanket, but he still cried. She felt sad and scared. She did not know how to make him stop. + +She ran to the phone and called mom. She told her that her brother was crying and she did not know what to do. Mom said she was on her way and told Lisa to try something. She said to put him on his tummy and massage his tummy. She said it might help him feel better. + +Lisa did what mom said. She put him on his tummy and rubbed his tummy with her hands. He stopped crying and started to giggle. Lisa felt happy and relieved. She thanked mom and said she loved her. Mom said she loved her too and that she was a good sister. She said she would be home soon and that they would have a regular massage together. Lisa smiled and hugged her brother. She liked to mind him and massage him. +Lily and Ben are playing in the garden. They have a big tub of water and some gear. They have a hose, a bucket, a sponge and some toys. They want to wash their bikes and cars. + +"Look, I can soak your bike with the hose!" Ben says. He sprays water on Lily's bike. Lily laughs and gets wet. + +"Thank you, Ben. You are very helpful. Now I can soak your car with the bucket!" Lily says. She fills the bucket with water and pours it on Ben's car. Ben smiles and gets wetter. + +They take turns to soak each other's gear with the hose and the bucket. They also use the sponge to scrub the dirt off. They have a lot of fun and make a lot of splashes. + +"Wow, our gear is so clean and shiny!" Ben says. He admires his car and Lily's bike. + +"Yes, they are. And we are so wet and dirty!" Lily says. She looks at her clothes and Ben's clothes. + +They giggle and run to the house. They want to change their clothes and have a snack. They are happy and proud of their work. They love to play with water and gear. +Lily liked to play with her toys, but she also liked to look at the books on the shelf. She knew she was not allowed to touch them, because they were Mommy's and Daddy's books, and they had big words and pictures that Lily did not understand. But sometimes, when Mommy and Daddy were busy, Lily would sneak into the living room and climb on the chair to reach the shelf. She would resist the voice in her head that told her to stop, and she would take one book and look at it. + +One day, Lily saw a book that had a shiny cover and a picture of a castle. She wanted to see what was inside, so she grabbed the book and pulled it. But the book was very heavy, and Lily was not very strong. As she pulled the book, she also pulled the shelf, and the shelf tipped over. All the books and things on the shelf fell down, making a loud noise and a big mess. Some of the books and things hit Lily, and she cried out in pain and fear. + +Mommy and Daddy heard the noise and ran into the living room. They saw Lily on the floor, covered in books and things, and the shelf on its side. They were very angry and very worried. They scolded Lily for being naughty and careless, and they checked her for injuries. Lily had a bump on her head, a cut on her arm, and a bruise on her leg. She felt very bad and very sorry. She wished she had listened to the voice in her head, and she wished she had not touched the book. She learned a hard lesson that day, and she never looked at the books on the shelf again. +Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play outside. They had a big orange ball that they kicked and threw to each other. They had fun with the ball every day, except when the weather was bad. + +One day, the weather was very bad. It was cold and wet and windy. Lily and Ben could not play outside with their ball. They were sad and bored. They looked out the window and saw the gray sky and the rain. + +"I wish the weather was good," Lily said. + +"Me too," Ben said. "I miss our ball." + +They decided to play inside with their toys. But they did not have as much fun as with their ball. They started to argue and fight over the toys. They said mean things to each other and made each other cry. + +"Give me that car!" Ben shouted. + +"No, it's mine!" Lily shouted back. + +They pulled and tugged at the car until it broke. They both wept and threw the pieces on the floor. + +They heard a knock on the door. It was their mom. She came to pick them up. + +"What happened here?" she asked. "Why are you weeping? And why is the car broken?" + +Lily and Ben looked at each other. They felt ashamed and sorry. They told their mom what they did. + +"That was not nice," their mom said. "You should not fight over toys. You should share and be kind to each other. You are friends, remember?" + +Lily and Ben nodded. They hugged each other and said they were sorry. + +"We are sorry, mom," they said. + +Their mom smiled and hugged them too. + +"It's okay," she said. "I'm glad you made up. Now, let's go home. And guess what? The weather is good again. The sun is shining and the rain is gone. You can play outside with your ball." + +Lily and Ben cheered and ran to get their ball. They thanked their mom and went outside. They played with their ball and had fun. They did not fight anymore. They learned their lesson. They learned to be good friends. +Lily and Ben liked to play with their toy cars. They had many cars of different colors and sizes. But their favorite car was the silver one. It was shiny and fast and made a loud noise when they pushed it. They called it the zoom car. + +One day, they decided to race their cars on the sidewalk. They lined up their cars at one end and said, "Ready, set, go!" They ran after their cars, cheering and laughing. The zoom car was in the lead, followed by the red car and the blue car. + +But they did not see the big dog that was sleeping on the grass. The dog woke up when it heard the noise and saw the cars. It thought they were toys for him. He jumped up and ran towards the cars, barking and growling. + +"Look out!" Lily shouted. "The dog is coming! He is dangerous!" + +Ben saw the dog and got scared. He grabbed the red car and the blue car and ran back to the house. But he forgot the zoom car. It was too far away and the dog was too fast. + +Lily did not want to lose the zoom car. She loved it very much. She ran after it, hoping to get it before the dog. She reached the zoom car and picked it up. But the dog was right behind her. He snapped his teeth and tried to bite her. + +"Help!" Lily screamed. "The dog is trying to get me!" + +Ben heard Lily and felt sorry. He wanted to help her. He looked around and saw a stick. He picked it up and ran towards the dog. He waved the stick and shouted, "Go away, dog! Leave Lily alone!" + +The dog saw the stick and got scared. He did not like sticks. He turned around and ran away, whimpering. + +Lily and Ben hugged each other. They were safe and happy. They still had the zoom car. They thanked Ben for saving them. They decided to play with their cars inside the house. They did not want to meet the dog again. They knew he was dangerous. +Ben did not like to take a bath. He liked to play with his toys and run around the house. He did not like to get wet and soapy. He did not like to wash his hair and face. He did not like to wear his pajamas and go to bed. + +One day, his mom said, "Ben, it is time for your bath. Come to the bathtub, please." Ben said, "No, no, no! I do not want a bath. I want to play more." He ran away and hid under his bed. His mom looked for him and said, "Ben, where are you? Come out, please. It is not nice to hide from me." + +Ben did not come out. He stayed under his bed and played with his toy car. He made vroom-vroom noises and pretended to drive fast. He did not hear his mom say, "Ben, I have a surprise for you. Come to the bathtub, please. You will like it." + +Ben did not come out. He stayed under his bed and played with his toy car. He did not see his mom bring a big box to the bathroom. He did not see his mom open the box and take out something. He did not see his mom put something in the bathtub and fill it with water. + +Ben did not come out. He stayed under his bed and played with his toy car. He did not smell the bubbles and the soap. He did not hear the splash and the giggle. He did not hear his mom say, "Ben, look who is here. Come to the bathtub, please. You have a new friend." + +Ben did not come out. He stayed under his bed and played with his toy car. He did not feel the tug on his leg. He did not see the wet nose and the big eyes. He did not see the fluffy tail and the floppy ears. He did not see the puppy that his mom got for him. + +Ben came out. He dropped his toy car and ran to the bathtub. He saw the puppy and said, "Wow, wow, wow! A puppy! For me?" He hugged the puppy and said, "Thank you, mom. You are so kind. I love you. I love the puppy. Can I give him a bath?" + +His mom smiled and said, "Yes, you can. But first, you have to take a bath yourself. Come on, Ben. It will be fun. You and the puppy can play in the bubbles and the soap. You can wash your hair and face. You can wear your pajamas and go to bed. And the puppy can sleep with you." + +Ben nodded and said, "Okay, mom. I will take a bath. I will be a good boy. I will be a good friend to the puppy. What is his name?" + +His mom said, "His name is Bubbles. Do you like it?" + +Ben said, "I love it. Come on, Bubbles. Let's go to the bathtub. It is time for our bath." +Tom and Mia were best friends. They liked to play outside and count the birds and the flowers. One day, a big storm came. It was a hurricane. The wind was loud and scary. The rain was wet and cold. Tom and Mia had to stay inside their houses. + +Tom was bored and lonely. He wanted to see Mia. He called her on the phone. "Mia, can you come out and play?" he asked. + +"No, Tom, I can't. It's too dangerous. The hurricane is still here. We have to wait until it goes away," Mia said. + +"But I miss you. And I want to count the birds and the flowers with you," Tom said. + +"I miss you too. But we can't go outside. Maybe we can count something else. Do you have any books or toys or pictures?" Mia said. + +Tom looked around his room. He saw a book with animals. He saw a toy car. He saw a picture of his family. "Yes, I have some things. What do you have?" he said. + +Mia looked around her room. She saw a book with princesses. She saw a doll. She saw a picture of a ballet dancer. "I have some things too. Let's count them together. You start," she said. + +Tom opened his book. He saw a lion, a zebra, a giraffe, and an elephant. He counted them. "One, two, three, four. I have four animals.

She saw two eyes, a nose, a mouth, two arms, two legs, a dress, and a crown. She counted them. "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. I have eight parts on my doll. She can dance. How about your picture?" he said. + +Tom looked at his picture. He saw his mom, his dad, his brother, his sister, and himself. He counted them. "One, two, three, four, five.

They heard a loud noise outside. It was the wind and the rain. They looked out the window and saw the trees and the cars moving a lot. + +"What is that?" Lily asked. + +"It is a hurricane," Tom said. He had learned that word from his dad. "It is a big storm that can make things fly and break." + +"Are we safe?" Lily asked. She was scared. + +"Yes, we are safe," Tom said. He hugged his sister. "We are inside our house. Our house is strong and our mom and dad are here." + +They heard their mom calling them from the kitchen. "Tom, Lily, come here. I have something for you." + +They ran to the kitchen and saw their mom smiling. She had a big bowl of chocolate pudding on the table.

We need to grow more." + +They hear a voice behind them. It is the owner of the jeep. He is a tall man with a beard and a hat. + +"Hello, kids. Do you like my jeep?" he asks. + +Tom and Lily nod and smile. They are a little scared. + +"It's very nice," Tom says. + +"Thank you," the man says. "But you know, you can't touch it without asking. It's not polite." + +Tom and Lily look down. They feel sorry. + +"We are sorry, sir," Lily says. "We just wanted to see it.

And when I grew up, I got a real jeep. Maybe you will too, someday." + +Tom and Lily look at each other. They feel excited. + +"Really?" Lily asks. + +"Really," the man says. "But you have to be patient and work hard. And you have to be careful and respectful with other people's things. Do you understand?" + +Tom and Lily nod and say yes. + +"Good," the man says.
