Maybe we can build a store with your blocks. A store where you can buy anything you want. A store where you can have fun and learn and imagine. A store where you can be happy. How does that sound?" + +Lily said, "That sounds awesome, Daddy! Let's go! Let's play! Let's build a store!" + +Daddy and Lily went to her room and played with her blocks. They built a store and pretended to buy and sell things. They laughed and talked and hugged. They had fun and learned and imagined. They were happy. + +Mommy came back from the store and saw them. She smiled and joined them. She gave Lily the new book and praised her for being a good girl. She said, "I'm sorry I couldn't take you to the store today, Lily. But I'm glad you had fun with Daddy. And I'm glad you like your new book. It's a special book. It's a book about a little girl who goes to the store with her mommy. It's a book about you and me. It's a book that I wrote for you. I +Tom and Lily were playing in their room. They liked to listen to the radio and sing along. But their mom was very busy. She had to cook and clean and do many things. She did not like the noise from the radio. She told Tom and Lily to turn it down. + +But Tom and Lily did not listen. They turned the radio up louder. They sang louder too. They thought it was fun. They did not care about their mom. + +Their mom was very angry. She came to their room and saw the radio. She grabbed it and threw it out of the window. The radio broke into many pieces. Tom and Lily were shocked. They stopped singing. + +"Why did you do that?" Tom asked. + +"Because you were very rude and noisy. You did not obey me. You made me very mad. You should be ashamed of yourselves." Their mom said. + +Tom and Lily started to cry. They were very sad and scared. They wanted their radio back. They wanted their mom to be happy. But it was too late. The radio was gone. Their mom was gone too. She left them alone in their room. She did not hug them or say sorry. She did not love them anymore. + +Tom and Lily felt very bad. They wished they had listened to their mom. They wished they had not complained. They wished they had been good. But they had not. They had been bad. And now they had no radio, no mom, and no fun. They had nothing. +Lily liked to print pictures with her crayons. She had many papers with flowers, animals and stars. She wanted to show them to her mom, who was in the kitchen. She ran to the kitchen with her papers in her hand. + +"Mom, look at my pictures!" Lily said. "I printed them with my crayons. Do you like them?" + +Mom was busy making dinner. She had a big pot on the stove and a knife in her hand. She looked at Lily's pictures quickly and said, "Yes, they are very nice, Lily. But you have to be careful in the kitchen. It is hot and sharp here. Go play in your room, please." + +Lily felt sad. She wanted Mom to look at her pictures more. She wanted Mom to say something more. She thought Mom was boring. She did not want to go to her room. She wanted to stay in the kitchen. + +"But Mom, I want to help you. I want to be with you. I don't want to play in my room. It is boring there. Can I print something for you? Can I print a picture of you and me?" Lily asked. + +Mom sighed. She loved Lily, but she was tired and busy. She did not have time to play with Lily. She wanted to finish dinner and have some rest. She said, "No, Lily, you can't help me. You can't print anything in the kitchen. You will make a mess. You will get hurt. You have to go to your room. Now." + +Lily felt angry. She did not like Mom's words. She did not like Mom's tone. She did not want to obey Mom. She wanted to do what she liked. She said, "No, Mom, I won't go to my room. I will print something in the kitchen. I will print something on the wall. I will print something on the pot. I will print something on the knife. You will see. You will like it." + +Mom gasped. She saw Lily grab a crayon and run to the wall. She saw Lily draw a big red circle on the white wall. She saw Lily move to the pot and try to reach it. She saw Lily look at the knife and smile. She dropped the knife and ran to Lily. She said, "No, Lily, stop! You can't do that. You can't print on the wall. You can't print on the pot. You can't print on the knife. You will ruin everything. You will burn yourself. You will cut yourself. You will make me mad. You will make me sad." + +Lily stopped. She saw Mom's face. She saw Mom's eyes. She saw Mom's tears. She felt sorry. She did not want to ruin everything. She did not want to hurt herself. She did not want to make Mom mad. She did not want to make Mom sad. She said, "I'm sorry, Mom. I was bad. I was silly. I was wrong. I love you, Mom. Can you forgive me, Mom?" + +Mom hugged Lily. She said, "I'm sorry, too, Lily. I was busy. I was tired. I was rude. I love you, too, Lily. Of course, I forgive you, Lily. But you have to promise me something, Lily. You have to promise me that you will never print on the wall, on the pot, or on the knife again. You have to promise me that you will be careful in the kitchen. You have to promise me that you will listen to me when I tell you something. Can you promise me that, Lily?" + +Lily nodded. She said, "I promise, Mom. I will never print on the wall, on the pot, or on the knife again. I will be careful in the kitchen. I will listen to you when you tell me something. I promise, Mom." + +Mom smiled. She said, "Thank you, Lily. You are a good girl. You are a smart girl. You are a sweet girl. Now, let's clean up this mess. And then, let's have some dinner. And then, let's look at your pictures together. How does that sound, Lily?" + +Lily smiled, too. She said, "That sounds great, Mom. That sounds fun, Mom. That sounds like the best thing ever, Mom." +Sara and Ben are playing with their toys in the living room. Sara has a doll and Ben has a car. They are having fun, but Sara needs to go to the bathroom. + +"Sara, can I play with your doll?" Ben asks. + +"No, Ben, it's my doll. You have your car," Sara says. + +"But I want to play with your doll. It's pretty and soft," Ben says. + +"No, Ben, you can't. It's mine," Sara says. + +Sara puts her doll on the couch and runs to the bathroom. She thinks Ben will not touch her doll. But Ben is curious and sneaky. He grabs the doll and looks at it. He likes the doll's hair and dress. He tries to make the doll talk. + +"Hello, I'm Sara's doll. I like Ben. He is nice and funny," Ben says in a high voice. + +He does not hear Sara coming back from the bathroom. Sara sees Ben with her doll and gets angry. + +"Ben, give me back my doll! You took it without asking!" Sara shouts. + +"No, Sara, it's my doll now. I like it more than you," Ben says. + +He holds the doll tight and runs away. Sara chases him around the living room. They yell and fight. They knock over the toys and the books. They make a big mess. + +Mom hears the noise and comes to see what is wrong. She sees Sara and Ben fighting over the doll. She sees the mess they made. She is not happy. + +"Sara, Ben, stop it right now! What are you doing?" Mom says. + +"Sara, Ben, stop it right now! What are you doing?" Mom says. + +"Mom, Ben took my doll! He is mean and bad!" Sara says. + +"Mom, Sara won't let me play with her doll! She is selfish and rude!" Ben says. + +Mom sighs and shakes her head. She takes the doll from Ben and gives it back to Sara. She makes them sit on the couch and look at her. + +"Sara, Ben, you both need to learn to share and be nice. The doll is Sara's, but she can let you play with it sometimes, Ben. And Ben, you can't take things that are not yours, especially without asking. You both need to say sorry and hug each other. And then you need to help me clean up this mess. Do you understand?" Mom says. + +Sara and Ben nod and look down. They feel bad for making Mom angry and for hurting each other. They say sorry and hug each other. They tell Mom they love her and they will be good. They help Mom clean up the living room. They put the toys and the books back where they belong. They make the couch comfortable again. They sit with Mom and cuddle. They are happy and calm. They know they are a family and they love each other. +Anna and Ben were bored. It was a gloomy day and they could not go outside. They looked at their toys, but they did not want to play with them. They wanted to do something fun and new. + +"Let's go to the kitchen and see what we can find," Ben said. He grabbed Anna's hand and they ran to the kitchen. They opened the fridge and saw a bunch of celery. Ben took one and broke it in half. He gave one piece to Anna and kept the other. + +"What can we do with this?" Anna asked. She bit the celery and made a crunching sound. + +"We can pretend it is a sword and have a fight," Ben said. He waved his celery in the air and made a swooshing sound. + +"Or we can pretend it is a microphone and sing a song," Anna said. She held her celery to her mouth and sang a silly song. + +"Or we can pretend it is a swing and swing on it," Ben said. He tied his celery to a string and hung it from a chair. He sat on the celery and swung back and forth. + +Anna laughed and did the same. She tied her celery to another string and hung it from another chair. She sat on the celery and swung with Ben. + +They had so much fun swinging on their celery that they forgot about the gloomy day. They swung and swung until their mom came and saw them. + +"What are you two doing?" she asked, smiling. + +"We are swinging on celery," Anna and Ben said together. + +"That's very creative," mom said. "But you know what? I have a better idea. Why don't we go to the park and swing on the real swings? The sun is out and it's not gloomy anymore." + +Anna and Ben cheered and ran to get their coats. They left their celery swings behind and followed mom to the park. They swung on the real swings and felt the wind in their hair. They were happy and not bored anymore. +Tom and Anna went to the zoo with Mom and Dad. They saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and giraffes. They liked the animals, but they liked the zebras best. The zebras had black and white stripes and long tails. + +"Look, Mom, look!" Tom said. "That zebra is chubby! He ate too much grass!" + +Mom smiled and said, "Yes, he is a bit chubby, but he is still healthy and happy. Zebras need to eat a lot of grass to have energy and stay warm." + +Anna pointed to another zebra and said, "That zebra is not chubby. He is thin and fast. He can run away from the lions!" + +Dad nodded and said, "That's right, Anna. Some zebras are thin and fast, and some are chubby and slow. They are all different, but they are all zebras." + +Tom and Anna wanted to pet the zebras, but Mom and Dad said no. They said the zebras might bite or kick, and they were not pets. They were wild animals. + +Tom and Anna were sad, but they understood. They said bye to the zebras and went to see other animals. They had fun at the zoo, but they never forgot the chubby and the thin zebra. +Lily and Ben were very excited. They were going on a tour of the zoo with their class. They wanted to see all the animals, especially the lions. Lions were big and powerful and had loud roars. + +When they got to the zoo, their teacher told them to stay close and listen. She said they had to be quiet and respectful of the animals. Lily and Ben nodded and held hands. They followed the teacher and the other kids to the lion enclosure. + +There they saw a big lion and a lioness lying on a rock. They looked sleepy and bored. Lily and Ben wondered if they ever roared or played. They wanted to hear them roar. They leaned over the fence and whispered to each other. + +"Maybe if we say hello, they will roar back," Lily whispered. + +"Or maybe if we roar first, they will roar too," Ben whispered. + +They decided to try. They took a deep breath and roared as loud as they could. "ROAR!" + +The lion and the lioness opened their eyes and looked at them. They did not look happy. They roared back, louder and angrier. "ROAR!" + +Lily and Ben were scared. They jumped back and hid behind the teacher. The teacher was not happy either. She scolded them for being rude and noisy. She said they had to apologize to the lions and the other visitors. Lily and Ben felt sorry and ashamed. They whispered "sorry" to the lions and the teacher. + +They learned their lesson. They did not roar or whisper anymore. They listened and watched quietly as they continued the tour. They saw many other animals, but none as powerful as the lions. They never forgot the day they roared at the zoo. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to run, jump and slide. But they hated the pit. The pit was a big hole in the ground. It was orange and dirty. It smelled bad. + +One day, a big dog came to the park. It was black and hairy. It barked loud. Lily and Tom were scared. They ran away from the dog. But the dog ran after them. It wanted to play. + +Lily and Tom ran to the slide. They climbed up fast. They hoped the dog would not follow them. But the dog was smart. It jumped on the slide too. It slid down with them. + +Lily and Tom screamed. They did not want to play with the dog. They wanted to get away. They ran to the swings. They got on the swings. They swung high. They hoped the dog would not catch them. But the dog was strong. It pulled the swings with its teeth. It made them stop. + +Lily and Tom cried. They did not know what to do. They looked around. They saw the pit. They had an idea. + +"Let's go to the pit!" Lily said. + +"But we hate the pit!" Tom said. + +"It's better than the dog!" Lily said. + +They jumped off the swings. They ran to the pit. They jumped in the pit. They hid in the pit. + +The dog came to the pit. It looked in the pit. It saw Lily and Tom. It wagged its tail. It wanted to join them. It jumped in the pit too. + +Lily and Tom were not happy. They were stuck in the pit with the dog. They hated the pit more than ever. They wished they had never gone to the pit. They wished the dog would go away. They wished someone would help them. +Lily and Ben like to build with blocks. They make towers and houses and cars. They have fun and share their blocks. + +One day, they find a new block. It is red and shiny and smells good. Lily wants to try it. She says, "This block looks yummy. I want to taste it." + +Ben says, "No, Lily, don't do that. It is not food. It is a block. You can't eat blocks. They are hard and bad for your teeth." + +But Lily does not listen. She is curious and hungry. She bites the block. It is not yummy. It is sour and bitter and spicy. Lily spits it out. She makes a face. She says, "Yuck! This block is awful. It hurts my mouth." + +Ben laughs. He says, "I told you, Lily. It is not food. It is a soap block. It is for washing, not eating. You are foolish to taste it." + +Lily feels silly and sorry. She says, "You are right, Ben. I am foolish. I should have listened to you. I am sorry. Can we still be friends?" + +Ben says, "Of course, Lily. We are still friends. But next time, ask me before you taste something. I know more things than you. I am older and smarter." + +Lily nods. She says, "OK, Ben. I will ask you next time. Can we build something else now?" + +Ben says, "Sure, Lily. Let's build something else. But not with the soap block. Let's put it away." + +They put the soap block away. They find some other blocks. They build something else. They have fun and share their blocks. They are happy. +Tim and Mia were young squirrels who liked to play in the forest. They climbed trees, chased butterflies and hid nuts for winter. One day, they found a big acorn on the ground. It was shiny and brown and looked very tasty. + +"Wow, look at this acorn!" Tim said. "It is the biggest one I ever saw. Let's share it!" + +"OK, but how do we open it?" Mia asked. "It is very hard and we have no teeth to crack it." + +Tim thought for a moment. He had an idea. "Let's find a big rock and smash it!" he said. "Then we can eat the inside. Come on, follow me!" + +Tim and Mia ran to a nearby hill where they saw a big rock. They carried the acorn with them and put it on the ground. Tim lifted the rock with his paws and was about to drop it on the acorn when he heard a voice. + +"Stop! Don't do that!" the voice said. + +Tim and Mia looked around and saw an old squirrel sitting on a branch. He had a long tail and a gray fur. He looked very wise and serious. + +"Who are you?" Tim asked. + +"I am Mr. Oak, the oldest squirrel in the forest," the old squirrel said. "And that acorn is not for eating. It is for planting." + +"Planting?" Mia asked. "Why?" + +"Because that acorn is a seed," Mr. Oak said. "If you plant it in the ground and water it, it will grow into a new oak tree. And oak trees give us more acorns and shade and homes. They are very important for us squirrels." + +Tim and Mia were amazed. They did not know that acorns could grow into trees. They felt sorry for wanting to smash the acorn. + +"Wow, that is amazing," Tim said. "We are sorry, Mr. Oak. We did not know. Can you teach us how to plant the acorn?" + +"Of course, I can," Mr. Oak said. "But you have to promise me one thing. You have to remain patient and careful. It takes a long time for an acorn to become a tree. You have to protect it from birds and bugs and storms. You have to visit it every day and talk to it. You have to love it like a friend." + +Tim and Mia nodded. They liked the idea of having a tree friend. They promised Mr. Oak to do as he said. Mr. Oak smiled and showed them how to dig a hole, put the acorn in it and cover it with soil. He told them to water it with a leaf and to mark the spot with a stick. + +"Thank you, Mr. Oak," Tim and Mia said. "You are very kind and smart. We will take good care of our acorn." + +"You are welcome, Tim and Mia," Mr. Oak said. "You are very young and curious. I hope you will learn many things from your acorn. And maybe one day, when you are old and gray, you will see it grow into a mighty oak. And you will be proud and happy." + +Tim and Mia hugged Mr. Oak and ran back to their nest. They were excited to start their new adventure. They decided to name their acorn Oaky. They hoped Oaky would grow big and strong and be their friend forever. +Anna and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to pretend they were explorers in the jungle. They had a big stick for a sword and a hat for a helmet. + +"Look, Ben, a lion!" Anna said, pointing to a yellow dog. "We have to be brave and fight it!" + +Ben shrugged. He was not afraid of the dog. He thought it was friendly and wanted to pet it. "It's not a lion, Anna. It's a dog. It won't hurt us." + +Anna did not believe him. She thought the dog was enormous and fierce. She hid behind a tree and shouted, "Help, help, a lion!" + +The dog heard her and ran towards her. It wagged its tail and licked her face. Anna screamed and dropped her stick. Ben laughed and picked it up. + +"See, Anna, it's a nice dog. It just wants to play with us. It's not a lion at all." + +Anna peeked from behind the tree and saw the dog. It looked happy and harmless. She felt silly and embarrassed. She smiled and came out of her hiding place. + +"Sorry, Ben. You were right. It's a dog. Can we play with it?" + +Ben nodded and handed her the stick. "Sure, Anna. Let's play with the dog. Maybe it can be our friend in the jungle." +One day, a squirrel and a mouse were looking for food in the forest. They saw a big tree with many acorns on it. The squirrel climbed up the tree and picked an acorn. The mouse waited under the tree and hoped the squirrel would share. + +But the squirrel was greedy and did not want to share. He hid the acorn in his mouth and climbed down the tree. He ran away from the mouse and looked for a place to bury his acorn. + +The mouse was sad and angry. He felt the squirrel was not a good friend. He followed the squirrel and saw him digging a hole in the ground. He decided to take the acorn from the squirrel. + +He ran up to the squirrel and bit his tail. The squirrel was surprised and dropped the acorn. The mouse grabbed the acorn and ran away. He was happy and proud. + +But the squirrel was hurt and angry. He chased the mouse and shouted, "Give me back my acorn! You are a bad mouse! You are a thief!" + +The mouse ran into a bush and hid. He saw a big owl sitting on a branch. The owl saw the mouse and the acorn. He was hungry and wanted to eat them. + +He swooped down and grabbed the mouse and the acorn in his claws. He flew away to his nest. The mouse was scared and sorry. He wished he had not taken the acorn from the squirrel. + +The squirrel saw the owl and the mouse. He felt sorry for the mouse. He realized he had been selfish and mean. He wished he had shared the acorn with the mouse. + +He ran after the owl and shouted, "Please, let go of the mouse! He is my friend! I forgive him for taking my acorn! Please, spare him!" + +The owl heard the squirrel and looked at him. He saw the squirrel was sincere and brave. He decided to be kind and generous. He let go of the mouse and the acorn. He flew away to find another food. + +The mouse fell to the ground and dropped the acorn. He was relieved and grateful. He saw the squirrel and said, "Thank you, squirrel! You saved my life! I am sorry for taking your acorn! You are a good friend! Can you forgive me?" + +The squirrel smiled and said, "Of course, I forgive you, mouse! You are a good friend, too! Let's share the acorn and be happy!" + +They hugged and ate the acorn together. They learned to be fair and kind to each other. They became the best friends in the forest. + +The end. +Lila and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to swing on the swings and slide on the slide. They saw a big dog with a chain around its neck. The dog was barking and pulling on the chain. + +"Look, a dog!" Lila said. "Can we pet it?" + +"I don't know," Tom said. "It looks angry." + +They walked closer to the dog. The dog saw them and growled. The chain was tied to a bench, but it was loose. The dog pulled harder and harder on the chain. + +"Maybe we should go back," Tom said. "The dog is not nice." + +But Lila wanted to pet the dog. She thought the dog was just scared. She reached out her hand to touch the dog's fur. + +"Hi, doggy," she said. "Don't be afraid. We are fine." + +The dog did not like Lila's hand. It snapped at her and bit her. Lila screamed and cried. Tom was scared and ran to get help. The dog did not pause. It bit Lila again and again. The chain broke and the dog ran away. + +Lila was hurt and bleeding. Tom came back with a grown-up. The grown-up called for an ambulance. Lila was taken to the hospital. She had many stitches and a big scar. She was not fine. She was sad and afraid of dogs. She wished she had listened to Tom. +Lily and Ben were best friends. They liked to play in the park and share their toys. One day, they saw a big box under a tree. It had a sign that said "Free Stuff". They ran to the box and looked inside. + +"Wow, look at all these things!" Lily said. She saw a doll, a ball, a book, and a pair of sunglasses. "Can we take them?" + +Ben nodded. He picked up the sunglasses and put them on. He felt very cool. He said, "Let's go show everyone our new stuff!" + +Lily agreed. She took the doll and the ball. She left the book in the box. She said, "Who needs a book? Books are boring." + +They walked around the park, showing off their new stuff. They saw their friend Sam, who was reading a book on a bench. Sam smiled and said, "Hi, Lily and Ben. What do you have there?" + +Lily and Ben showed him their new stuff. They said, "We found them in a box. They are free. Do you want some?" + +Sam looked at the box. He saw the book that Lily and Ben left behind. He said, "No, thank you. I have my book. It is very interesting. It is about animals and their habitats." + +Lily and Ben laughed. They said, "Books are not interesting. They are boring. You should play with us. We have fun stuff." + +Sam shook his head. He said, "No, thank you. I like to read. Reading is fun for me. It helps me learn new things." + +Lily and Ben shrugged. They said, "Suit yourself. Come on, Lily, let's go." + +They left Sam and went to the playground. They played with their new stuff for a while. But soon, they got bored. The doll was dirty and had a broken arm. The ball was flat and had a hole. The sunglasses were too big and kept falling off. They said, "These things are not fun. They are bad. Why did we take them?" + +They decided to go back to the box and return them. But when they got there, they saw that the box was gone. Someone had taken it away. They said, "Oh no! What do we do now?" + +They looked around and saw Sam. He was still reading his book. He looked happy and calm. They walked to him and said, "Hi, Sam. We are sorry we laughed at you. We were wrong. Books are not boring. They are good. Can we read with you?" + +Sam smiled and said, "Sure, you can. I have another book here. It is about stars and planets. It is very cool. Do you want to see?" + +Lily and Ben nodded. They said, "Yes, please. Thank you, Sam. You are a good friend. You are dependable." + +Sam gave them the book and said, "You are welcome. You are good friends, too. You are honest. Come, let's read together." + +They sat on the bench and read the book. They learned new things and had fun. They whispered to each other, "Reading is fun. Reading is good. We are glad we have a friend like Sam." +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big bird in a tree. The bird has red and yellow feathers. It is very pretty. + +"Look, Ben, a bird!" Anna says. + +"Wow, Anna, it is so bright!" Ben says. + +They want to tell the other kids about the bird. They run to the swings, where Lily and Sam are playing. + +"Hey, Lily, Sam, we have news!" Anna says. + +"What news?" Lily asks. + +"We saw a big bird in the tree. It has red and yellow feathers. It is very pretty. Come and see!" Ben says. + +Lily and Sam follow Anna and Ben to the tree. They see the bird too. They are amazed. + +"Wow, it is a parrot!" Sam says. + +"A parrot? How do you know?" Lily asks. + +"My dad told me. He is wise. He knows a lot of things. He said parrots can talk. They can say hello and bye and other words. They are smart birds." Sam says. + +"Really? Can we talk to the parrot?" Anna asks. + +"Maybe. Let's try. Hello, parrot!" Sam says. + +The parrot looks at them. It opens its beak. It says: + +"Hello, kids. I am Polly. I am a parrot. I can talk. I am smart. Do you want to be my friends?" + +The kids are very happy. They have a new friend. They talk to Polly. They ask her questions. They learn new things. They spread the news to the other kids in the park. They all want to see Polly. They all want to be her friends. They have a lot of fun. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play in the garden. They have a big box of rocks. They call them minerals. They say minerals are shiny and pretty. + +One day, they find a new mineral. It is red and sparkly. Anna wants to keep it. Ben wants to share it. They start to fight. They pull and push. They shout and cry. + +"Stop!" says Mom. She comes out of the house. She looks angry. "What are you doing? You are not behaving. You are being naughty. You could hurt each other or break the mineral. You need to be careful." + +Anna and Ben feel sorry. They say sorry to Mom. They say sorry to each other. They hug and make up. They decide to share the mineral. They put it in a special place in the box. + +Mom smiles. She says, "That's better. I'm proud of you. You are behaving. You are being nice. You are being careful. Now you can have a snack. Do you want some cookies?" + +Anna and Ben nod. They say, "Yes, please!" They run to the kitchen. They leave the box of minerals in the garden. They are happy. +Sara was hungry. She wanted a sandwich. She went to the kitchen and looked for bread. She saw a big machine on the counter. It was shiny and had many buttons. It was a modern toaster. + +Sara did not know how to use the toaster. She wanted to make toast for her sandwich. She thinked hard. She saw a picture on the machine. It showed bread and toast. She thinked that maybe the machine could make toast for her. + +She took two slices of bread and put them in the slots. She pushed a button. The machine made a noise and a light. Sara waited. She smelled something good. The machine popped up the toast. Sara was happy. She took the toast and put cheese and ham on it. She made a sandwich. She ate it. It was yummy. She thinked that the modern toaster was very useful. She smiled. +One day, a soldier came to the farm where Tom and Lily lived with their mom and dad. He wore a green hat and a green coat and had a big bag on his back. He knocked on the door and asked if he could stay for the night. + +"Who are you?" Tom asked, peeking from behind his mom. + +"I'm a soldier. I'm walking to the big town. I need a place to sleep and some food to eat. Can you help me?" the soldier said. + +Mom looked at dad and nodded. "Of course, you can stay with us. We have a spare room and some soup and bread. Come in, please." + +"Thank you, thank you. You are very kind." the soldier said, smiling. + +Tom and Lily were curious about the soldier. They wanted to see what was in his bag and what he did. They followed him to the spare room and watched him unpack. He took out a blanket, a pillow, a book, a toy car, and a medal. + +"What's that?" Lily asked, pointing to the medal. + +"This is a medal. I got it for being brave and helping my friends. It's very special to me." the soldier said. + +"Wow, that's incredible. Can I see it?" Tom asked. + +"Sure, you can see it. But be careful, don't drop it or lose it. It's very important to me." the soldier said, handing the medal to Tom. + +Tom held the medal in his hand and looked at it. It was shiny and had a star and some words on it. He felt proud and happy. He wanted to keep it. + +"Can I have it?" he asked. + +"No, you can't have it. It's mine. I told you it's very special to me. Give it back, please." the soldier said. + +"But I like it. It's pretty. I want it." Tom said, holding the medal tighter. + +"Tom, that's not nice. You have to give it back. It's not yours. It's the soldier's. He was nice to share it with you. You have to be nice too." Lily said. + +"Tom, listen to your sister. You have to accept that the medal belongs to the soldier. He earned it. He deserves it. You have to respect that. Now, give it back, please." mom said, coming into the room. + +Tom looked at the soldier, then at the medal, then at his mom. He felt sad and angry. He didn't want to give it back. He wanted to keep it. But he knew he had to do the right thing. He sighed and gave the medal back to the soldier. + +"Thank you, Tom. I appreciate that. I know it's hard to give up something you like. But you did the right thing. You are a good boy." the soldier said, putting the medal back in his bag. + +"I'm sorry, soldier. I'm sorry I was mean. I'm sorry I wanted your medal. You are a good soldier. You are brave and helpful. I want to be like you." Tom said. + +The soldier smiled and hugged Tom. "You don't have to be sorry, Tom. You are a good boy. You are brave and helpful too. You can be anything you want to be. Maybe one day, you will be a soldier too. And maybe one day, you will get your own medal. But until then, you have to be kind and respectful to others. And you have to accept that some things are not yours to have. Do you understand?" he said. + +Tom nodded and smiled. He understood. He felt better. He was happy. He hugged the soldier back. "I understand, soldier. Thank you for teaching me. Thank you for staying with us. You are welcome here anytime." he said. + +The soldier thanked Tom and Lily and their mom and dad for their hospitality. He ate some soup and bread with them and read them a story from his book. He played with them with his toy car and told them some jokes. He made them laugh and smile. He was a good friend. He was a good soldier. He was incredible. +Tommy was a little boy who liked to eat cookies. He knew that his mom kept some cookies in the cupboard, but she told him not to take them without asking. Tommy was impatient and did not want to wait for his mom to come home. He decided to sneak into the kitchen and open the cupboard. + +He climbed on a chair and reached for the cookie jar. He was so happy when he saw the cookies inside. He grabbed a handful and stuffed them in his mouth. He did not notice that the chair was wobbly and the cookie jar was heavy. He lost his balance and fell to the floor. The cookie jar smashed and the cookies scattered everywhere. + +Tommy was scared and hurt. He started to cry. His mom heard the noise and ran to the kitchen. She saw the mess and Tommy on the floor. She was angry and worried. She picked up Tommy and checked if he was okay. She saw that he had a cut on his arm and a bruise on his head. She cleaned his wound and put a band-aid on it. She hugged him and told him that he was lucky that he was not more hurt. + +She also told him that he was naughty and that he should not have taken the cookies without asking. She said that he had to learn to be patient and to respect the rules. She said that he had to help her clean up the mess and that he could not have any more cookies for a week. Tommy felt sorry and ashamed. He said that he was sorry and that he would not do it again. He helped his mom clean up the mess and said that he loved her. + +The moral of the story is that being impatient and greedy can lead to trouble and pain. It is better to be patient and obedient and to listen to your mom. +Sara loves to play with her mom's makeup. She likes to put on lipstick, eyeshadow, and blush. She thinks they make her look pretty and grown-up. Sometimes, she pretends she is a princess or a fairy or a star. + +One night, Sara has a sweet dream. She dreams that she is in a big castle with many dresses and jewels. She meets a nice prince who wants to dance with her. He tells her she is the most beautiful girl in the world. Sara feels happy and shy. + +But then, she hears a loud noise. It is her mom, who is angry. She sees Sara sleeping on her bed, with makeup all over her face and pillow. She says, "Sara, what have you done? You made a big mess with my makeup! You are not allowed to touch it without asking me!" + +Sara wakes up and cries. She says, "I'm sorry, mom. I was just dreaming. I wanted to be a princess." Her mom hugs her and says, "You are my princess, Sara. But you don't need makeup to be beautiful. You are beautiful just the way you are. Now, let's clean up this mess and go back to sleep." Sara nods and says, "I love you, mom." Her mom says, "I love you, too, Sara." They kiss and cuddle and fall asleep. +Ben and Sam were brothers. They liked to play with blocks. They could build many things with blocks. They could build houses, cars, towers, and animals. + +One day, they decided to build a big castle. They used all the blocks they had. They made walls, doors, windows, and a flag. They were very proud of their castle. + +"Look at our castle!" Ben said. "It is the best castle ever!" + +"Yes, it is!" Sam agreed. "No one can break it!" + +But they did not see their baby sister, Lily. Lily was crawling on the floor. She saw the castle. She liked the blocks. She wanted to play with them. + +She crawled to the castle. She reached for a block. She pulled it out. The castle started to shake. + +"Uh-oh!" Lily said. + +Ben and Sam heard a noise. They turned around. They saw Lily and the castle. The castle was falling down. + +"Noooo!" Ben and Sam shouted. + +They ran to the castle. They tried to save it. But it was too late. The castle was gone. Only a pile of blocks was left. + +Lily looked at them. She smiled. She clapped her hands. + +"Yay!" Lily said. "Fun!" + +Ben and Sam were not happy. They were angry. They looked at Lily. They looked at each other. They had an idea. + +They picked up some blocks. They started to build again. But this time, they did not build a castle. They built a cage. They put Lily inside the cage. They locked the door. + +"There!" Ben said. "Now you can't ruin our castle!" + +"Ha-ha!" Sam said. "We got you!" + +Lily did not like the cage. She did not smile. She did not clap. She cried. + +"Help!" Lily said. "Let me out!" + +But Ben and Sam did not let her out. They went back to their castle. They built it bigger and stronger. They were happy. + +They did not see their mom. She was coming to the room. She saw Lily and the cage. She saw Ben and Sam and the castle. + +She was not happy. She was angry. She had an idea. + +She picked up a block. She threw it at the castle. The castle started to shake. + +"Uh-oh!" Ben and Sam said. +Sara and Ben love to play in the pool with their aunt. Their aunt is very fun and kind. She throws them in the air and catches them. She makes funny faces and noises. She splashes them with water and they splash her back. + +One day, their aunt is sad. She does not want to play in the pool. She sits on a chair and looks at the sky. Sara and Ben ask her what is wrong. She says she misses her friend. Her friend is far away and she cannot see her. + +Sara and Ben want to make their aunt happy. They think of a plan. They get some paper and crayons. They draw a picture of their aunt and her friend. They write "We love you" on it. They give it to their aunt and hug her. + +Their aunt smiles and hugs them back. She says they are very sweet and thoughtful. She says she loves them too. She says she is still sad, but a little less. She says she will play with them in the pool later. Sara and Ben are happy. They hope their aunt's friend will come back soon. They want their aunt to be happy again. +Ben and Sam were best friends. They liked to play with cars and trucks in the yard. One day, Ben got a new vest from his mom. It was blue and shiny and had a big car on the front. Ben was very happy and showed it to Sam. + +"Wow, your vest is so cool!" Sam said. "Can I try it on?" + +"OK, but be careful," Ben said. "It is new and I don't want it to get dirty or torn." + +Sam put on the vest and ran around the yard. He pretended to be a race car driver and made loud noises. He had a lot of fun, but he did not see the sharp rock on the ground. He tripped and fell and ripped the vest. + +"Oh no!" Sam cried. "I'm sorry, Ben, I ruined your new vest!" + +Ben ran to Sam and saw the big hole in the vest. He felt very sad and angry. He snatched the vest from Sam and said, "You are a bad friend! You don't care about my things! Go away and don't talk to me again!" + +Sam felt very sorry and sad too. He wanted to say sorry again, but Ben did not listen. He walked away and went inside his house. Sam went home and cried. + +The next day, Sam came to Ben's house with a big smile. He had something in his hands. He knocked on the door and Ben opened it. He looked surprised and curious. + +"Hi, Ben," Sam said. "I came to say sorry again and to give you this." + +He handed Ben the vest. Ben took it and saw that the hole was gone. Instead, there was a patch with a truck on it. It matched the car on the front. + +"I asked my mom to help me repair your vest," Sam said. "She said it was not easy, but she did it because she loves me and you are my friend. She also said that friends make mistakes, but they can fix them if they say sorry and try to make things better. Do you like it?" + +Ben looked at the vest and then at Sam. He felt a warm feeling in his chest. He realized that Sam was a good friend and that he was too harsh on him. He smiled and said, "I like it a lot. Thank you, Sam. You are a good friend too. I'm sorry I was mad at you. Can we play again?" + +Sam nodded and hugged Ben. They put on their vests and went to the yard. They played with cars and trucks and had a lot of fun. They learned that friendship is more important than things, and that repair can make things new again. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play outside in the snow. They make snowmen, snowballs and snow angels. They have fun and laugh a lot. + +One day, they see a cute little bird on a branch. It is brown and white and has a red spot on its head. It sings a pretty song. Anna and Ben want to listen to the bird. They stop playing and walk slowly to the tree. + +"Hello, bird," Anna says softly. "We like your song. Can you sing more?" + +The bird looks at them and nods. It opens its beak and sings again. Anna and Ben smile and clap their hands. They think the bird is their friend. + +But then, they hear a loud noise. It is a big black cat. It jumps from the fence and runs to the tree. It wants to catch the bird. The bird sees the cat and gets scared. It flies away quickly. + +"Watch out, bird!" Ben shouts. "The cat is bad. It will hurt you!" + +Anna and Ben are sad. They lose their friend. They hope the bird is safe. They do not like the cat. They throw snowballs at the cat. The cat hisses and runs away. + +Anna and Ben hug each other. They go back to their snowmen. They make a hat and a scarf for their snowmen. They pretend the snowmen are singing like the bird. They listen to their snowmen and feel happy again. +Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to slide and swing and run. They saw a big white dog near the fence. The dog was filthy. He had mud and leaves in his fur. + +"Look, a dog!" Lily said. "Can we pet him?" + +"I don't know," Tom said. "He looks dirty. Maybe he is sick or mean." + +Lily was not afraid. She loved dogs. She ran to the fence and called the dog. "Hello, doggy! Come here, doggy!" + +The dog heard Lily and wagged his tail. He ran to the fence and licked Lily's hand. He was friendly and happy. + +"See, he is nice!" Lily said. "He just needs a bath. Can we take him home?" + +Tom came closer and touched the dog. He felt soft and warm. He liked the dog too. "Maybe we can," he said. "But we have to ask mom and dad first." + +They took the dog by the collar and walked to their house. They hoped mom and dad would let them keep him. They wanted to give him a name and a bed and a toy. They felt like they had won a prize. They had found a new friend. +Tom and Lily were twins who liked to play with water. They had a big tub in their backyard where they filled it with water from the faucet. They splashed and laughed and had fun with their toys. + +One day, they saw a new toy in the tub. It was a yellow duck that quacked when you squeezed it. Tom and Lily both wanted the duck. They grabbed it and pulled it from each other. + +"Mine!" Tom shouted. + +"No, mine!" Lily shouted back. + +They tugged and tugged until the duck ripped in half. The duck stopped quacking and water came out of it. Tom and Lily looked at the broken duck and felt sad. + +"Who put this duck here?" Tom asked. + +"I did," a voice said. It was their neighbor, Ben, who was standing by the fence. He looked sad too. "It was my birthday present. I wanted to share it with you, but I forgot to ask. I'm sorry." + +Tom and Lily felt sorry too. They realized they had been selfish and rude. They went to Ben and gave him the duck halves. + +"We're sorry, Ben," they said. "We didn't know it was yours. We should have asked first." + +"Thank you," Ben said. "But it's okay. You can keep it. Maybe you can fix it or make something new with it." + +Tom and Lily smiled. They thanked Ben and invited him to play with them in the tub. They were happy to have a new friend. They learned that toys belong to someone and they should always ask before taking them. They also learned that sharing is better than fighting. They played with water and had fun with their toys and their friend. They were enthusiastic and kind. +Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play and have fun. But sometimes they do not behave. They make a mess and do not listen to Mom and Dad. + +One day, Mom and Dad are busy. They have to work and cook and clean. They tell Lily and Ben to behave and play nicely. They give them some toys and books and crayons. + +Lily and Ben say yes, but they do not mean it. They get bored and start to fight. They throw the toys and books and crayons. They rip the pages and break the crayons. They make a lot of noise and a lot of mess. + +Mom and Dad hear the noise and the mess. They are angry and sad. They come to the playroom and see Lily and Ben. They say, "What are you doing? Why do you not behave? Look at this mess! You are naughty and unkind!" + +Lily and Ben feel sorry and scared. They say, "We are sorry, Mom and Dad. We do not mean to be naughty and unkind. We just want to have fun. Please do not be angry and sad." + +Mom and Dad sigh and hug Lily and Ben. They say, "We love you, Lily and Ben. But you have to behave and play nicely. You have to respect the toys and books and crayons. You have to listen to us and follow the rules. Do you understand?" + +Lily and Ben nod and say, "We understand, Mom and Dad. We will behave and play nicely. We will respect the toys and books and crayons. We will listen to you and follow the rules. We love you, too." + +Mom and Dad smile and say, "Good. Now let's clean up this mess and have some dinner. We have beef and potatoes and carrots. And for dessert, we have orange cake. Do you like that?" + +Lily and Ben say, "Yes, we like that. Thank you, Mom and Dad. You are the best." They help Mom and Dad clean up the mess and go to the kitchen. They have a yummy dinner and a sweet dessert. They behave and play nicely. They are happy and proud. +Lily and Tom were playing in the living room. They liked to pretend they were pirates and explorers. They used the curtain as a sail and a blanket as a treasure map. They had fun making noises and finding clues. + +"Look, Lily, I found a spicy pepper!" Tom said, holding a red thing he took from the kitchen. "This is our pirate treasure. We can use it to scare away the bad guys." + +Lily was curious. She wanted to see the pepper. She asked Tom to share it with her. Tom said no. He said it was his pepper and he found it first. He said Lily could have something else. + +Lily was angry. She wanted the pepper too. She thought Tom was being mean and selfish. She tried to grab the pepper from Tom's hand. Tom pulled it back. They started to fight over the pepper. + +The pepper was very spicy. It made their mouths burn and their eyes water. They screamed and cried. They dropped the pepper on the floor. They ran to the sink to drink some water. They forgot about the curtain and the blanket. + +The pepper rolled under the curtain. It touched the lamp. The lamp was hot. The pepper caught fire. The fire spread to the curtain and the blanket. The living room was full of smoke and flames. + +Lily and Tom were scared. They ran to the door. They called for help. But it was too late. The fire was too big and too fast. It reached the door and blocked their way. They could not get out. They could not be saved. They were trapped by the fire. +Tim and Lily were playing in the garden. They saw a big red truck with a long ladder. The truck stopped near a house. Tim and Lily ran to see what was happening. + +"Look, Lily, the truck can lift the ladder very high!" Tim said. + +"Yes, Tim, and there are people on the ladder. They are wearing yellow hats and coats. They are fire-fighters!" Lily said. + +The fire-fighters climbed the ladder and went inside the house. They came out with a cat and a dog. The cat and the dog were scared and dirty. The fire-fighters gave them water and hugs. + +"Wow, Lily, the fire-fighters are very brave and kind. They saved the cat and the dog from the flame!" Tim said. + +"Yes, Tim, the flame was very hot and bright. It was naughty. It made the house smoke and burn!" Lily said. + +The fire-fighters put out the flame with a big hose. They made the house wet and safe. They talked to the people who lived in the house. They were sad and thankful. + +"Tim, Lily, come here. It is time to go home," their mom called. + +"Okay, mom. Bye, fire-fighters. Thank you for your work!" Tim and Lily said. + +They waved to the fire-fighters and went home with their mom. They learned a lot from the fire-fighters. They decided to be brave and kind too. They also decided to never play with matches or candles. They knew that flame was naughty and dangerous. +Sara and Ben are playing with their toys. They have many toys of different colors and shapes. Sara likes to sort her toys by color. She puts the red toys in one box, the blue toys in another box, and so on. Ben likes to sort his toys by shape. He puts the round toys in one basket, the square toys in another basket, and so on. + +"Look, Sara, I sorted my toys by shape. Do you want to see?" Ben asks. + +"OK, Ben, show me your toys. I sorted my toys by color. Do you want to see?" Sara replies. + +They walk to each other's boxes and baskets and look at the toys. They see that some toys are both the same color and the same shape. For example, they have a red ball and a blue ball, and a yellow square and a green square. + +"Hey, Sara, we have some toys that are the same. Do you want to swap?" Ben suggests. + +"Sure, Ben, let's swap. Then we can have more toys of the same color and shape," Sara agrees. + +They swap some toys and put them in their own boxes and baskets. They are happy with their new toys. + +"Look, Sara, now I have more round toys. And you have more red toys," Ben says. + +"Look, Ben, now I have more square toys. And you have more blue toys," Sara says. + +They smile and hug each other. They like to sort and swap their toys. They are good friends. +Sam and Mia liked to play with cubes. They had many cubes of different colors and sizes. They liked to build towers and houses and bridges with the cubes. But they also liked to knock them down with their toy guns. They would shoot the cubes and watch them fall and break. + +One day, they found a new cube in their toy box. It was white and shiny and had a red button on it. Sam picked it up and said, "Look, Mia, a new cube! I wonder what it does." + +Mia looked at it and said, "Maybe it makes a sound or a light when you press the button. Let me see it, Sam." + +Sam did not want to share the cube. He said, "No, it's mine. I found it first. I want to shoot it and see what happens." + +Mia was angry. She said, "That's not fair, Sam. You always shoot the cubes and break them. This cube looks fragile. It might be special. You should not shoot it." + +Sam did not listen to Mia. He said, "I don't care. It's just a cube. I want to have fun. Watch this, Mia." He aimed his toy gun at the cube and pressed the trigger. + +But the cube was not just a cube. It was a bomb. When Sam shot it, it exploded with a loud bang and a bright flash. The explosion made a big hole in the wall and sent pieces of cube and toy gun flying everywhere. Sam and Mia were scared and hurt. They cried and screamed. + +Their mom and dad heard the noise and ran to their room. They saw the mess and the smoke and the blood. They were shocked and angry and sad. They hugged Sam and Mia and took them to the hospital. They said, "Why did you do that, Sam and Mia? Why did you shoot the cube? You could have killed yourselves and us. You should have listened to Mia. She was right. The cube was fragile. It was not a toy. It was a dangerous thing. You should never play with things you don't know." +Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play with toys. They have a big ship toy. They can use the ship to pretend they are pirates or sailors. + +One day, they want to play with the ship, but they see that Sam has it. Sam is busy. He is making the ship go in the water. He does not want to share. + +"Sam, can we play with the ship too?" Tom asks. + +"No, it is my ship. Go away!" Sam says. + +"But we want to play with the ship. It is not fair!" Lily says. + +Sam does not listen. He keeps playing with the ship. Tom and Lily are sad and angry. They think of a plan. + +They wait until Sam is not looking. Then they run to the ship and grab it. They run away with the ship. + +"Hey, give me back my ship!" Sam shouts. + +He chases them, but they are too fast. They hide behind a tree with the ship. + +"Ha ha, we have the ship now!" Tom says. + +"Let's play with the ship. We can be pirates or sailors!" Lily says. + +They use the ship to have fun. Sam is sad and angry. He thinks of a plan. +Lily and Ben were adventurous kids. They liked to explore new places and find new things. One day, they saw a big building with many windows and doors. They wanted to see what was inside. + +They sneaked past the gate and found an open door. They went in and saw many rooms with desks and chairs and computers. They also saw many files with papers and pictures. They were curious and took some files to look at them. + +"Wow, look at this file! It has a map of a treasure island!" Ben said. + +"Let me see! Maybe we can find the treasure!" Lily said. + +They opened the file and saw a colorful map with a big X on it. They also saw a note that said: "This is a secret file. Do not touch. If you do, you will be in big trouble." + +They did not care about the note. They wanted to find the treasure. They took the file and ran out of the building. They did not see the man who was watching them from a window. + +The man was angry. He was the boss of the building. He worked for a spy agency. The file was a fake map that he used to trick the bad guys. He did not want anyone to know about it. He called his men and told them to catch the kids and get the file back. + +Lily and Ben did not know they were in danger. They followed the map to a park. They looked for the X and started to dig. They hoped to find gold and jewels and toys. + +But they did not find anything. They only found a big hole. And then they heard sirens and saw cars and men with guns. The men were the boss's men. They were angry and scary. They grabbed the kids and the file and put them in a car. + +"Let us go! We did nothing wrong!" Lily and Ben cried. + +"You did something very wrong. You stole a secret file. You are spies and thieves. You will go to jail and never see your parents again." The boss said. + +Lily and Ben were very sad and scared. They wished they never went to the building. They wished they never took the file. They wished they listened to the note. They learned a hard lesson. They learned that being adventurous is not always good. They learned that they should not touch things that do not belong to them. They learned that they should follow the rules and respect the secrets. +Lila and Tom were playing with their toys in the living room. Lila had a whip that she liked to swing around and make noises with. Tom had a truck that he liked to drive on the carpet and make vroom sounds with. + +"Look at my whip, Tom!" Lila said. "It is so long and fun. I can make it go snap, snap, snap!" + +Tom looked at Lila's whip and wanted to try it. He asked Lila if he could have a turn. Lila said no, it was her whip and she did not want to share. + +"Please, Lila, just one turn!" Tom begged. "I will give you my truck. It is so fast and strong. You can make it go vroom, vroom, vroom!" + +Lila thought about it and decided to trade with Tom. She gave him her whip and took his truck. She drove the truck on the carpet and made vroom sounds. She felt comfortable and happy. + +Tom took the whip and swung it around. He made snap sounds. He felt excited and curious. He wanted to see what else he could do with the whip. He saw a lamp on the table. He thought it would be fun to hit the lamp with the whip. He aimed the whip at the lamp and snapped it hard. + +The whip hit the lamp and made a loud crash. The lamp fell off the table and broke into pieces. The light went out. Lila and Tom heard their mom scream from the kitchen. + +"What was that?" Mom said. "Who broke the lamp?" + +Lila and Tom felt scared and guilty. They dropped their toys and ran to their mom. They tried to explain what happened, but Mom was very angry. She took the whip and the truck away from them. She said they were naughty and careless. She said they had to go to their rooms and stay there until dinner. She said they had no dessert. + +Lila and Tom cried and hugged each other. They wished they had not played with the whip. They wished they had been more careful. They wished they had a different ending. +Tom and Sam were brothers who liked to play in the woods. They found a big stick that was good for making noises and hitting things. They both wanted the stick, but there was only one. + +"Give me the stick!" Tom said. He tried to pull the stick from Sam's hands. + +"No, it's mine!" Sam said. He held on to the stick with all his might. + +They both struggled with the stick, pulling and pushing and shouting. The stick was mighty and did not break. + +Then they heard a loud roar. It was a bear! The bear was hungry and angry. It saw the boys and the stick. It wanted to eat them. + +"Run!" Tom and Sam said. They let go of the stick and ran away as fast as they could. + +The bear chased them, but it was slow and clumsy. It tripped over the stick and fell down. The stick hit its nose and made it hurt. + +"Ow!" the bear said. It rubbed its nose and growled. It did not want the stick anymore. It went away to find something else to eat. + +Tom and Sam were safe. They hugged each other and said sorry. + +"Sorry for fighting with you," Tom said. + +"Sorry for being mean to you," Sam said. + +They decided to share the stick and play nicely. They were happy and brave. They learned that sticks are good for many things, but not for fighting. +Tom and Ben are friends. They like to play with their toys. Today, they are playing with soldiers. They have many soldiers. Some are green, some are red, some are blue. They are rich in soldiers. + +They make a big fort with a box and some pillows. They put some soldiers inside the fort. They say, "This is our army. We are the bosses. No one can beat us." + +They also have a bucket of water. They say, "This is our lake. We can splash in it. It is fun." + +They take some soldiers and put them in the bucket. They say, "These are our boats. They can swim and fight. They are strong." + +They splash the water with their hands. They make waves and noises. They say, "Boom! Bang! Splash! We are winning. We are the best." + +But then, their mom comes in. She sees the mess. She sees the water on the floor. She sees the wet soldiers. She is not happy. She says, "What are you doing? You are making a big mess. You are not playing nice. You are wasting water. You are ruining your soldiers." + +Tom and Ben are scared. They say, "Sorry, mom. We were just playing. We did not mean to make a mess. We like our soldiers. We will clean up." + +Their mom says, "You have to be more careful. You have to respect your toys. You have to share your water. You have to listen to me. Now, help me clean up. And no more splashing." + +Tom and Ben say, "OK, mom. We will help you. We will be good. We will not splash anymore." + +They help their mom clean up. They dry their soldiers. They put them back in the box. They hug their mom. They say, "We love you, mom. You are the best." +Anna and Ben are twins. They are three years old. Today is their birthday. They are very happy. They want to celebrate with their friends. + +They put on their party hats and go to the living room. There are balloons, cake, and presents. Their friends are waiting for them.

Today is their birthday. They are very happy. +Tom and Lily were brother and sister. They liked to play in the forest near their home. One day, they saw a big lake in the forest. It looked very blue and smooth. + +"Let's swim in the lake!" Tom said. He took off his shoes and ran to the water. + +"Wait, Tom!" Lily said. "We don't know if the lake is safe. Maybe there are fish with sharp teeth, or plants that can hurt us, or mud that can make us sink." + +"Don't be silly, Lily. The lake is fine. Look how smooth it is. You are just scared." Tom said. He jumped into the lake and splashed the water. + +Lily was worried, but she did not want to be left alone. She followed Tom and got into the lake. The water was cold and deep.

She wanted to run and jump and get dirty. + +The prince tried to be nice to Lily. He gave her a rose and a ring. He said she was pretty and smart. He said he loved her. Lily did not like the rose or the ring. She did not think she was pretty or smart. She did not love him. She wanted to play with her dolls and her cat. + +Lily had an idea. She took the rose and the ring and ran away. She found her cat and her dolls. She put the ring on her cat's tail and the rose in her doll's hair. She said, "This is my prince. He is better than you. He does not smell like flowers and soap. He does not have a big nose and a small mouth. He likes to run and jump and get dirty. He knows me. He loves me." + +The prince was sad and angry. He did not understand Lily. He did not like her cat or her dolls. He wanted to marry her. He wanted to take her to his castle. He said, "You are a bad princess. You are rude and silly. You do not know me. You do not love me." + +Lily did not care. She was happy with her cat and her dolls. She did not want to be a good princess. She did not want to be rude or silly. She wanted to be herself. She knew herself. She loved herself. +Sara liked to read novels. Novels were big books with many words and pictures. She had a novel about a girl who went to a magic school. She wanted to read it every day. + +One day, Sara found a big orange marker in her room. She thought it was pretty. She wanted to use it on her novel. She opened the novel and marked some words and pictures with the orange marker. She thought it looked nice. + +But then, her mom came in and saw what Sara did. She was not happy. She said, "Sara, you should not mark your novel with a marker. You ruined it. Now you cannot read it anymore. And you cannot borrow any more novels from the library. That is very bad." + +Sara felt sad. She did not know she did something bad. She liked her novel. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I just wanted to make it pretty. I like orange. I like novels. Please don't be mad at me." + +Her mom sighed. She said, "I know you like orange and novels, Sara. But you have to be careful with them. They are not toys. They are for reading and learning. If you want to mark something, you can use paper or a coloring book. But not a novel. Do you understand?" + +Sara nodded. She said, "I understand, mom. I won't mark novels anymore. Can I still read them?" + +Her mom smiled. She said, "Yes, you can still read them. But only if you promise to take good care of them. And to say sorry to the library for the one you marked." + +Sara hugged her mom. She said, "I promise, mom. And I'm sorry. I love you." + +Her mom hugged her back. She said, "I love you too, Sara. Now, let's go and find a new novel for you. And a paper and an orange marker for you to mark." +Ben and Mia were playing in the snow. They saw a big pine tree with many green needles. They wanted to make the tree look pretty. + +"Let's shake the tree and make snow fall on it," Ben said. + +"OK, but be careful. The tree is very tall and strong," Mia said. + +They ran to the tree and grabbed its branches. They shook them hard and laughed as the snow came down. The tree looked like it had a white coat. + +But then they heard a loud noise. Something fell from the tree and landed near them. It was a big, dull, brown cone. + +"What is that?" Mia asked. + +"It is a pine cone. The tree makes them to grow new trees," Ben said. + +"Can we play with it?" Mia asked. + +"Sure, why not? Maybe we can make a snowman and give him a pine cone nose," Ben said. + +They picked up the pine cone and ran to a pile of snow. They rolled the snow into balls and stacked them up. They gave the snowman a pine cone nose, two rocks for eyes, and a scarf for a smile. + +They looked at their snowman and felt happy. They had made a new friend from the pine tree. +Lily liked to play with her hair. She had long, brown hair that she could make into braids, buns, or ponytails. She had a box of clips, ribbons, and bows that she used to decorate her hair. She was very proud of her hair. + +One day, she saw a pair of scissors on the table. She wondered what they were for. She picked them up and felt the blades. They were sharp. She thought they could cut things. She had an idea. She wanted to cut her hair and make it look different. + +She took the scissors and snipped a piece of her hair. It fell to the floor. She looked at it and smiled. She cut another piece, and another, and another. She did not notice that her hair was getting shorter and shorter, and uneven and messy. + +When she was done, she looked in the mirror. She did not like what she saw. Her hair was not long and pretty anymore. It was short and ugly. She felt sad and angry. She threw the scissors on the floor and started to cry. + +Her mom heard her cry and came to see what was wrong. She saw Lily's hair and the scissors and the hair on the floor. She was shocked and upset. She hugged Lily and asked her why she did that. Lily said she wanted to change her hair, but she did not know it would look so bad. She said she was sorry and asked her mom to fix her hair. + +Her mom said she could not fix her hair right away. She said hair takes time to grow back. She said she loved Lily no matter what her hair looked like, but she also said that Lily should not play with scissors. She said scissors are sharp and dangerous. They can hurt Lily or someone else. She said Lily should only use scissors with an adult and for the right things, like paper or fabric. She said Lily should be careful and responsible with things that are sharp. + +Lily learned her lesson. She felt sorry for cutting her hair and for making her mom worried. She promised to never play with scissors again. She waited patiently for her hair to grow back. She realized that her hair was beautiful the way it was, and that she did not need to change it. She also realized that she should respect her things and not waste them. She was more careful and grateful for what she had. +Ben and Lily are twins. They like to help Mom and Dad in the kitchen. Today is a special day. It is Thanksgiving. Mom and Dad are making a big meal for the family. + +Mom says, "We need to put the turkey in the oven. It is very heavy. Can you help me, Ben and Lily?" Ben and Lily nod. They want to help. They put on their aprons and wash their hands. Mom lifts the turkey from the sink. She puts it on a big tray. She says, "Be careful. It is hot." + +Ben and Lily each hold one side of the tray. They walk slowly to the oven. They are very strong. They do not drop the turkey. They slide the tray into the oven. Mom says, "Good job, Ben and Lily. You are very helpful. Now we have to wait for the turkey to cook. It will take a long time. Do you want to make some decorations for the table?" + +Ben and Lily say, "Yes, please." They love to make decorations. They go to the living room. They find some paper, scissors, glue, and crayons. They cut out some shapes. They make some leaves, some pumpkins, some acorns, and some turkeys. They color them with crayons. They glue them on a long piece of paper. They make a beautiful banner. + +They show their banner to Mom and Dad. Mom and Dad smile. They say, "Wow, Ben and Lily. You are very creative. Your banner is very pretty. It will look great on the table. Thank you for making it. We are very proud of you." + +Ben and Lily are happy. They hug Mom and Dad. They say, "You are welcome. We love you. We are excited for the meal. We are thankful for our family." Mom and Dad say, "We love you too. We are thankful for you. You are our sweet twins." They all hug and kiss. They smell the turkey in the oven. It smells very good. They can't wait to eat it. They are very hungry. +Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play with blocks. They build houses and towers and bridges with the blocks. They use pencils to draw doors and windows and flags on the blocks. + +One day, they decide to build a very tall tower. They stack the blocks higher and higher. They use many pencils to make the tower look nice. They are happy and proud of their tower. + +"Look at our tower!" Tom says. "It is the tallest tower ever!" + +"Yes, it is!" Mia says. "Let's see how it looks from far away!" + +They run to the other side of the room. They turn around and look at their tower. But the tower is so tall that it makes them dizzy. They see the tower spinning and wobbling. + +"Wow, the tower is moving!" Tom says. + +"No, it is not!" Mia says. "We are moving!" + +They feel sick and fall down. They close their eyes and hold their heads. + +"Maybe we built the tower too tall," Tom says. + +"Maybe we should build something else next time," Mia says. + +They get up and hug each other. They are still friends. They still like to play with blocks. But they do not build very tall towers anymore. +Mia loves her puppy. Her puppy is unique. He has one brown eye and one blue eye. He has soft fur and a curly tail. He likes to play and cuddle with Mia. + +One day, Mia and her puppy go to the park. They see many other puppies there. Some are big, some are small. Some are black, some are white. Some have spots, some have stripes. Mia thinks they are all cute, but her puppy is the most unique. + +Mia and her puppy run and jump on the grass. They chase a ball and a stick. They make new friends with other puppies and kids. They have a lot of fun. + +But then, Mia hears a loud noise. It is a big truck. It is coming to the park. It is carrying a big cage. Mia and her puppy are scared. They hide behind a tree. + +The truck stops near the park. A man gets out. He has a net and a rope. He looks mean. He says he wants to catch all the puppies. He says he will sell them for money. He says he does not care if they are happy or sad. + +Mia and her puppy are very scared. They do not want to go with the man. They do not want to leave the park. They do not want to leave each other. + +Mia thinks fast. She sees a big rock near the tree. She picks it up. She throws it at the truck. She hits the cage. The cage opens. All the puppies inside the cage run out. They are free. They are happy. They run to their owners. They lick and hug them. + +The man is angry. He shouts and chases the puppies. But he is too slow. The puppies are too fast. They run away from him. They run to the other side of the park. They are safe. + +Mia and her puppy are happy. They did a good thing. They helped the other puppies. They are brave. They are unique. They love each other. They go home. They have a snack. They take a nap. They dream of the park. They are happy. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play with toys and books. One day, they go to the park with their moms. They see a big fountain with water and many coins. The coins are shiny and different colors. + +Anna wants a coin. She asks her mom for one. Her mom says no. She says the coins are not theirs. They are for the fountain and for wishes. Anna is sad. She sees a green coin. She thinks it is pretty. She runs to the fountain and takes the green coin. She puts it in her pocket. + +Ben sees Anna take the coin. He is shocked. He knows it is wrong. He wants to tell Anna to give it back. But he is scared. He does not want to lose his friend. He says nothing. + +Later, Anna and Ben go to the ice cream truck. They want ice cream. Anna takes out the green coin. She says she will buy ice cream with it. She gives it to the ice cream man. The ice cream man looks at the coin. He says it is not a real coin. He says it is a plastic toy. He says he cannot take it. He says Anna has to give him a real coin or no ice cream. + +Anna is confused. She looks at the coin. She sees it is not shiny anymore. She sees it is not metal. She sees it is fake. She feels bad. She realizes she took something that was not hers. She realizes she made a mistake. She says sorry to the ice cream man. She says sorry to Ben. She says sorry to her mom. + +Her mom is angry. She says Anna has to return the coin to the fountain. She says Anna has to learn to respect other people's things. She says Anna has to be honest and kind. Anna nods. She says she understands. She says she will not do it again. She runs to the fountain. She throws the coin back. She makes a wish. She wishes to be a good friend. + +The moral of the story is: Do not take what is not yours. Be honest and kind. +Lila and her mom went to the mall. They wanted to buy a new dress for Lila. Lila liked the mall. She saw many things that she wanted. She saw toys, books, candy, and shoes. + +"Mom, can I have this?" Lila asked, pointing to a pink doll. + +"Not today, sweetie. We are here for a dress, remember?" Mom said. + +"But I love this doll. She has a pretty dress too. Please, mom, please!" Lila begged. + +Mom sighed. She knew Lila had many dolls at home. She did not want to buy more things that Lila did not need. But she also did not want to make Lila sad. + +"OK, Lila. I will make you a deal. If you can find a dress that you like and that fits you well, you can have the doll. But you have to be clever and quick. We don't have much time. Can you do that?" Mom said. + +Lila nodded. She was happy. She thought she was clever. She could find a dress and get the doll. She ran to the dress section. She looked at the dresses. She saw a blue dress, a green dress, a yellow dress, and a red dress. She tried them on. She did not like the blue dress. It was too big. She did not like the green dress. It was too small. She did not like the yellow dress. It was too plain. She liked the red dress. It was just right. It had flowers and ribbons. It made her look pretty. + +"Mom, look! I found a dress!" Lila said, showing mom the red dress. + +Mom smiled. She was proud of Lila. She was clever and quick. She found a dress that she liked and that fit her well. + +"That's a lovely dress, Lila. You did a great job. Come on, let's go pay for it. And don't forget your doll." Mom said. + +Lila hugged mom. She was happy. She had a new dress and a new doll. She thanked mom. They walked to the cashier. They had to wait in line. Lila saw a sign that said "yield". She did not know what it meant. + +"Mom, what does yield mean?" Lila asked. + +Mom looked at the sign. She explained to Lila. + +"Yield means to let someone else go first. Sometimes, when there are many people or cars, we have to yield to be polite and safe. For example, when we cross the street, we have to yield to the cars. We have to wait for them to pass before we can go. Do you understand?" Mom said. + +Lila nodded. She understood. She thought yield was a good word. She wanted to be polite and safe. She looked at the line. She saw a little boy behind them. He had a toy car in his hand. He looked bored. Lila had an idea. She was clever. She wanted to yield. + +"Mom, can I give my doll to the boy?" Lila asked. + +Mom was surprised. She looked at Lila. She looked at the boy. She looked at the doll. + +"Why do you want to do that, Lila?" Mom asked. + +"Because I want to yield. I want to be polite and safe. I have many dolls at home. He has only one toy. He might like the doll. He might be happy. Can I, mom, can I?" Lila said. + +Mom was touched. She was proud of Lila. She was clever and kind. She agreed to Lila's idea. + +"OK, Lila. You can give your doll to the boy. But you have to ask him first. Maybe he does not want the doll. Maybe he wants something else. You have to respect his choice. Can you do that?" Mom said. + +Lila nodded. She was happy. She walked to the boy. She showed him the doll. + +"Hi, I'm Lila. Do you want this doll? She is pretty and soft. You can have her. I want to yield. I want to be polite and safe. Do you like her?" Lila said. + +The boy looked at Lila. He looked at the doll. He smiled. He liked the doll. He thought Lila was nice. + +"Hi, I'm Max. Thank you for the doll. She is pretty and soft. I like her. You are polite and safe. You are clever and kind. Do you want to play with me?" Max said. + +Lila smiled. She liked Max. She thought he was nice. + +"Yes, I want to play with you. What do you want to play?" Lila said. + +Max thought for a moment. He had an idea. He was clever too. + +"Let's +Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to run on the grass and look at the flowers. They saw a big tree with red and yellow fruits. Ben said, "Let's pick some fruits and eat them. They look yummy." + +They climbed the tree and picked some fruits. They each took a big bite. But the fruits were not yummy. They were sour. Ben and Lily made funny faces and spit out the fruits. They said, "Blech! These fruits are sour. They are not good." + +A man was walking by with a dog. He saw Ben and Lily and smiled. He said, "Hello, children. Do you know what kind of fruits these are?" Ben and Lily shook their heads. The man said, "These are lemons. They are sour. Some people like to make lemonade with them. But they are not good to eat by themselves." + +The man gave Ben and Lily a bottle of water. He said, "Here, drink some water. It will help you wash away the sour taste." Ben and Lily drank some water and thanked the man. The man said, "You're welcome. You are very brave to try new fruits. I applaud you for that." He clapped his hands and the dog barked. + +Ben and Lily smiled and clapped their hands too. They said, "Thank you, mister. We like to try new things. But we don't like sour lemons. We like sweet apples and bananas." The man said, "Me too. And so does my dog. Have a nice day, children." He waved and walked away with his dog. Ben and Lily waved back and went to play some more. They had fun in the park. +Lily was a little duck who loved to bathe in the pond. She liked to splash and swim and play with her friends. She also liked to find shiny things at the bottom of the pond, like stones and shells and coins. + +One day, Lily saw something very big and round and white in the water. She was curious and swam closer to see what it was. It was an egg! A very big egg! Lily wondered who laid the egg and what was inside it. She touched it gently with her beak and felt it move. + +Lily was nervous. She did not know if the egg was friendly or not. She did not know if the egg's mother was nearby or not. She did not know if she should stay or swim away. She looked around and saw no other ducks or animals. She decided to stay and watch the egg. + +The egg started to crack and make noises. Lily heard a peep and a chirp and a snort. She saw a hole in the egg and a nose poking out. Then she saw two eyes and two ears and two horns. Then she saw a whole head and a body and a tail. It was a baby rhino! + +Lily was surprised and scared. She had never seen a rhino before. She did not know what to do. She backed away from the egg and the rhino. The rhino looked at her and smiled. He was happy and friendly. He wanted to play with her. He said, "Hi, I'm Remy. Will you be my friend?" + +Lily did not know what to say. She was still nervous. But she also felt sorry for Remy. He had no mother or friends. He was alone in the pond. He looked lonely and sad. Lily thought for a moment and then said, "Hi, I'm Lily. I'll be your friend. But you have to be careful. You are very big and I am very small. You have to be gentle and kind. And you have to learn how to bathe in the pond. Do you want me to teach you?" + +Remy nodded and said, "Yes, please. I want to learn how to bathe in the pond. I want to splash and swim and play with you. I want to be a good friend. Thank you, Lily. You are very nice." + +Lily smiled and said, "You're welcome, Remy. You are very nice, too. Come on, let's bathe in the pond. It's fun. Follow me." + +And so, Lily and Remy became friends. They bathed in the pond every day. They learned from each other and had fun together. They also met other animals and made more friends. They were happy and safe in the pond. They were glad they found each other. They were the best of friends. +Lily and Ben went to the zoo with Mom and Dad. They saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and giraffes. Lily liked the giraffes best. They had long necks and spots. Ben liked the monkeys best. They jumped and played and made funny noises. + +Lily and Ben wanted to feed the animals, but Mom and Dad said no. They said the animals had their own food and it was not good to give them other things. Lily and Ben were sad, but they listened to Mom and Dad. + +They walked to the next cage, where there was a big bear. The bear was brown and furry, but he looked very dirty. He had mud and leaves on his fur. He was lying on the ground and did not move much. Lily and Ben wondered why he was so dirty and sleepy. + +They saw a sign that said, "Do not disturb. The bear is sick and needs rest." Lily and Ben felt sorry for the bear. They wanted to make him feel better. They looked around and saw no one was watching. They crept closer to the cage and whispered to the bear. + +"Hello, bear. We are Lily and Ben. We hope you get well soon. You are a good bear. We like you." They whispered softly and gently. They thought the bear would like to hear nice words. + +The bear heard their whispers. He opened his eyes and looked at them. He saw their smiling faces and heard their kind words. He felt a little better. He lifted his head and made a low growl. It was not a scary growl. It was a thank you growl. + +Lily and Ben were happy. They thought the bear understood them. They waved to the bear and said goodbye. They ran back to Mom and Dad, who were waiting for them. They did not tell them what they did. It was their secret with the bear. They hoped the bear would get clean and happy soon. They said they would come back to the zoo and visit him again. +Lila and Sam were best friends. They liked to play with dolls and cars and blocks. But one day, Lila got a new toy. It was a big red balloon with a shiny ribbon. Lila loved her balloon. She held it tight and did not let go. + +Sam was jealous. He wanted a balloon too. He tried to grab Lila's balloon, but she pulled it away. They started to fight. They pulled and pushed and shouted. The ribbon got tangled in a knot. The balloon flew away. + +Lila and Sam were sad. They lost their balloon and their friend. They cried and cried. Then they looked at each other. They said sorry. They hugged and made up. They decided to share their toys and not fight. They released their anger and felt happy again. They were best friends. +Anna loved to bathe her cow, Daisy. She would fill a big bucket with water and soap, and use a sponge to make Daisy clean and shiny. Daisy liked it too, and would moo happily as Anna rubbed her fur. + +But Anna's brother, Ben, did not like it. He was jealous of Daisy. He wanted Anna to play with him, not with a cow. He thought Daisy was silly and smelly, and he did not want to bathe her. He wanted to play with his cars and trucks, and make loud noises. + +One day, Ben had a plan. He took his cars and trucks, and hid them under the hay in the barn. Then he waited for Anna to come with her bucket and sponge. When he saw her, he said, "Anna, come and see what I have for you. I have a surprise in the barn. You will love it." + +Anna was curious. She left her bucket and sponge by the fence, and followed Ben to the barn. She hoped he had a nice surprise for her. Maybe a new toy, or a book, or a candy. + +But when she got to the barn, she saw nothing but hay. She looked around, and asked, "Where is the surprise, Ben? I don't see anything." + +Ben laughed, and said, "The surprise is that there is no surprise. I tricked you, Anna. Now you can't bathe Daisy, and she will be dirty and ugly. Ha ha ha!" + +Anna was angry and sad. She ran out of the barn, and saw Daisy waiting for her by the fence. She hugged Daisy, and said, "I'm sorry, Daisy. Ben is mean. He lied to me. He does not like you. But I do. I love you, Daisy. You are my best friend." + +Daisy mooed softly, and licked Anna's face. She did not care about Ben, or his cars and trucks, or his lies. She only cared about Anna, and her bucket and sponge, and her baths. She was happy with Anna, and Anna was happy with her. They were both clean and shiny, inside and out. +Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys in their room. One day, they find a new toy in a box. It is a big car that can make noises and lights. + +"Wow, look at this car!" Ben says. "Can we play with it?" + +"Yes, let's play with it!" Anna says. They open the box and take out the car. They push a button and the car starts to make noises and lights. + +They are very happy and excited. They take turns to drive the car on the floor. They pretend to go to different places and have fun. + +But then, something bad happens. Ben pushes another button and the car stops. He tries to push it again, but nothing happens. He looks at the car and sees a wire sticking out. + +"Uh-oh, what is this?" Ben says. He touches the wire with his finger. + +"Ben, don't touch that!" Anna says. But it is too late. Ben feels a shock in his finger. He drops the car and cries. + +"Ow, ow, ow! That hurts!" Ben says. He holds his finger and runs to Anna. + +Anna hugs him and tries to comfort him. She is scared and worried. She does not know what to do. + +"Mommy, mommy, help!" Anna shouts. She hopes that mommy will hear them and come to their room. + +Mommy hears them and comes to their room. She sees the car, the wire, and the twins. She understands what happened. She is angry and sad. + +"Who gave you this car?" Mommy asks. "This is not a normal toy. This is a dangerous toy. It can hurt you." + +"We don't know, mommy," Anna says. "We found it in a box. We thought it was a gift." + +Mommy shakes her head. She picks up the car and the box. She looks at the label. It says "Warning: High Voltage. Not for children. For adults only." + +Mommy is shocked. She wonders who left this car in their room. She thinks it is a mistake or a prank. She decides to call daddy and ask him. + +She puts the car and the box in a safe place. She takes the twins to the sofa. She lays them down and covers them with a blanket. She kisses them and says sorry. + +"I'm sorry, my loves," Mommy says. "You did nothing wrong. You were just curious and playful. But you have to be careful with new things. Some things are not for children. Some things can hurt you." + +She checks Ben's finger. It is red and sore, but not bleeding. She puts some ice and a band-aid on it. She tells him it will be better soon. + +She hugs them and tells them she loves them. She says they can play with their other toys later. She says she will find out who gave them the car and why. + +She hopes they will be okay. She hopes they will forget this bad day. She hopes they will have normal and happy days again. +Sara and Tom like to play in the park. They run and jump and slide and swing. They have fun with their friends and their toys. But sometimes they see a big bin with a lot of trash. The bin smells bad and has flies and ants. Sara and Tom do not like the bin. + +One day, Sara and Tom see a cat near the bin. The cat is black and white and has long fur. The cat looks sad and hungry. Sara and Tom want to help the cat. They go to the bin and call the cat.

They hug the cat and say goodbye. + +They tell the cat to stay near the bin. They say they will come back and visit it. They say they love the cat and the cat is their friend. The cat meows and nods. It stays near the bin and waits for Sara and Tom. Sara and Tom go home and think about the cat. They hope the cat is happy and safe. They hope the cat remembers them. +Tom and Sue were playing in the park. They saw a big dog with black fur and sharp teeth. The dog was barking and running towards them. Tom and Sue were scared. They trembled and hid behind a tree. + +"Go away, dog! Go away!" Tom shouted. He threw a stick at the dog, but the dog did not care. The dog came closer and closer. + +Sue cried and held Tom's hand. She felt weak and cold. She wished her mom and dad were here. She did not like the dog. + +"Help! Help!" Sue screamed. She hoped someone would hear her and save them. + +Then, they heard a whistle and a voice. It was the dog's owner. He was a nice man with a hat and a smile. He called the dog's name and the dog stopped barking. He came to the tree and put a leash on the dog. + +"I'm sorry, kids. He is not a bad dog. He just likes to play. He won't hurt you. Do you want to pet him?" the man said. + +Tom and Sue looked at the dog. He was wagging his tail and licking his lips. He did not look so scary now. They felt a little better. + +"Maybe," Tom said. He reached out his finger and touched the dog's nose. The dog sniffed and licked his finger. Tom smiled. + +"Me too," Sue said. She also touched the dog's nose. The dog wagged his tail more. + +The man smiled too. He said, "See? He is a good dog. He likes you. What are your names?" + +"I'm Tom and this is Sue. We are sorry we threw a stick at your dog," Tom said. + +"That's OK. He doesn't mind. His name is Rex. Do you want to play with him?" the man said. + +Tom and Sue nodded. They felt brave and happy. They played with Rex and the man. They threw the stick and Rex fetched it. They ran and laughed. They forgot they were trembling and weak. They had fun. +Tom is a pupil at a big school. He likes to learn new things and play with his friends. But he does not like his teacher, Mrs. Lee. She is sour and mean. She always yells at Tom and gives him hard work. + +One day, Tom has an idea. He sees a lemon on the lunch table. He thinks it is funny to replace Mrs. Lee's water with lemon juice. He sneaks to her desk and pours out her water. He squeezes the lemon and fills the bottle with juice. He smiles and runs away. + +At the end of the day, Mrs. Lee is thirsty. She picks up her bottle and drinks. She makes a face and spits out the juice. It is sour and bitter. She is angry and looks around. She sees Tom laughing. She knows he did it. + +She calls Tom to her desk.

Sam took a bite and smiled. He said it was the best jam he ever tasted. Lily was glad. She gave some more jam to her other friends. They all liked it too. + +Lily and her friends celebrated with the rare jam. They thanked Lily's mom and grandma for the special treat. They said it was a very good party. Lily felt warm and happy. She blew out the candles and made a wish. She wished for more days like this. +Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play in the field near their house. The field has many flowers and bugs and birds. Tom and Sue like to run and jump and look at the field. + +One day, they hear a different sound in the field. It is not a bird or a bug or a flower. It is a big, loud, scary sound. Tom and Sue stop and look around. They see a big, black, shiny thing in the field. It has four round things and two bright things and a long thing. It makes the big, loud, scary sound. + +"What is that?" Tom asks Sue. + +"I don't know," Sue says. "It is not a flower or a bug or a bird. It is different. It is not from the field." + +The big, black, shiny thing moves in the field. It comes closer to Tom and Sue. It makes the big, loud, scary sound louder. Tom and Sue are afraid. They hold hands and run away from the field. They run to their house. They tell their mom and dad what they saw and heard in the field. + +Mom and dad listen to Tom and Sue. They smile and hug them. They say, "Don't be afraid. That was a car. A car is a thing that people use to go to different places. It is not scary. It is just different. Sometimes, different things come to the field. But the field is still your field. You can still play in the field. Just be careful and watch out for the car." + +Tom and Sue nod and say, "OK." They are not afraid anymore. They still like the field. They still like to play in the field. But they also like to learn about different things. They ask mom and dad to tell them more about the car and other things that are not from the field. Mom and dad are happy to tell them. Tom and Sue are happy to listen. They are friends. They like to play and learn together. +Lily and Max were hungry. They wanted to eat something yummy. They went to the kitchen and opened the fridge. They saw a big purple cake inside. + +"Wow, look at the cake!" Lily said. "It looks so good. Can we have some?" + +"I don't know," Max said. "Mom said we have to wait for dinner. Maybe we can have a little bit. She won't notice." + +They took the cake out of the fridge and put it on the table. They cut a small slice and ate it. It was sweet and soft. + +"Mmm, this is the best cake ever," Lily said. "Let's have some more." + +They cut another slice and ate it. Then another, and another. Soon, they ate half of the cake. + +"Oh no, what have we done?" Max said. "Mom will be so mad. We have to hide the cake." + +They put the cake back in the fridge and tried to cover it with a towel. They hoped Mom would not see it. + +But Mom came home soon. She smelled the cake in the air. She went to the fridge and opened it. She saw the half-eaten cake and the towel. + +"Who ate my cake?" Mom asked. "I made it for Grandma's birthday. It was a special cake." + +Lily and Max were scared. They did not want to tell Mom. They shook their heads and said nothing. + +Mom was not happy. She knew Lily and Max were lying. She took them to the living room and sat them on the couch. + +"You have to tell me the truth," Mom said. "Why did you eat the cake? Don't you know it was wrong?" + +Lily and Max felt bad. They knew they made a mistake. They looked at each other and then at Mom. + +"We're sorry, Mom," Lily said. "We were hungry and the cake looked so good. We only wanted a little bit, but we ate too much. We didn't mean to ruin Grandma's birthday." + +Mom sighed. She was still angry, but she also loved Lily and Max. She hugged them and said, "I'm glad you're sorry, but you have to learn to listen and to share. The cake was not for you, it was for Grandma. She loves purple, that's why I made it purple. Now we have to make another cake for her. And you have to help me and say sorry to Grandma." + +Lily and Max nodded. They said sorry to Mom and hugged her back. They went to the kitchen and helped Mom make a new cake. They made it purple again, and added some sprinkles. They hoped Grandma would like it and forgive them. They learned their lesson and never ate Mom's cake again. +Lily and Sam went to the park with Mom. They saw a big fountain with water. The water was cool and clear. Lily and Sam wanted to play with the water. + +"Can we splash, Mom?" Lily asked. + +"Yes, but be careful. Don't get too wet," Mom said. + +Lily and Sam ran to the fountain. They put their hands in the water. It felt nice. They splashed each other and laughed. They saw the sun make colors on the water. They saw red, yellow, blue and green. + +"Look, Sam, colors!" Lily said. + +"Wow, pretty!" Sam said. + +They tried to catch the colors with their hands. But the colors moved and changed. They were like magic. + +Lily and Sam had fun with the water and the colors. They forgot about time. Mom watched them and smiled. She was happy to see them happy. +Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play outside. One day, they decided to celebrate their friendship by having a picnic near the stream. They packed some bread, cheese, apples and juice in a basket and walked to the stream. + +They found a nice spot under a big tree and spread a blanket on the grass. They ate their food and drank their juice. They were very happy and talked about their favorite games and animals. + +"Let's go to the stream and look for fish and frogs!" Ben said. + +"Okay, that sounds fun!" Lily agreed. + +They put their basket and blanket under the tree and ran to the stream. They took off their shoes and socks and dipped their feet in the water. It was cold and clear. They saw some fish swimming and some frogs jumping. They laughed and splashed each other. + +Suddenly, they heard a loud noise. It was a big dog. It had escaped from its owner and was running towards them. It looked angry and hungry. It barked and growled. + +"Help! Help!" Lily and Ben screamed. + +They tried to run away, but the dog was faster. It jumped on them and bit them. It tore their clothes and scratched their skin. It hurt them a lot. + +They cried and begged the dog to stop, but it did not listen. It wanted to eat them. + +No one heard their screams. No one came to help them. The dog ate them. + +The end. +Tom and Mia were friends. They liked to play together. One day, they found a big box in the park. The box had a sign that said "Do not touch". But Tom and Mia were curious. They wanted to see what was inside the box. + +"Let's peek inside the box," Tom said. "Maybe there are toys or candy." + +"No, Tom, we should not peek," Mia said. "The sign says do not touch. Maybe there are bad things in the box." + +But Tom did not listen to Mia. He was not a reliable friend. He opened the box and saw many colorful sticks. He thought they were firework. He liked firework. He wanted to make them go boom. + +"Look, Mia, firework!" Tom said. "Let's take some and play with them." + +"No, Tom, we should not take them," Mia said. "Firework are not for playing. They are dangerous. They can hurt us." + +But Tom did not listen to Mia. He was not a smart friend. He took some firework and ran away. He found a lighter and lit one of the firework. He did not know how to hold it. He did not know how to throw it. He did not know how to be safe. + +The firework exploded in his hand. It made a loud noise and a bright flash. It burned his hand and his face. It made him scream and cry. Mia heard him and ran to him. She was scared and sad. She tried to help him. She called for help. + +But it was too late. Tom was badly hurt. He had to go to the hospital. He had to stay there for a long time. He lost his fingers and his eye. He could not play anymore. He was sorry for what he did. He wished he had listened to Mia. He wished he had been a reliable and smart friend. +Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play with clay. Clay is soft and can make many shapes.

"It is blue and red and can fly." + +They decide to trade their creations. Lily gives Tom her flower and Tom gives Lily his bird. They say thank you and hug. They are good friends. +Ben and Lily were twins who liked to play in the park. They had a favorite slide that was big and shiny. They would take turns to go down the slide and laugh. One day, they saw a new boy in the park. He was bigger than them and had a mean face. He went to the slide and said, "This is my slide. Go away!" + +Ben and Lily felt anxious. They did not want to go away. They liked the slide. They looked at each other and decided to be brave. They walked to the slide and said, "No, this is our slide. We can share." + +The new boy did not like that. He pushed Ben and Lily and made them fall. He said, "No, this is my slide. You are weak and silly." + +Ben and Lily felt sad and angry. They wanted to stand up and fight, but they were scared. They looked at the slide and wished they could go down again. They felt a warm and soft touch on their backs. They turned around and saw a bright light. It was a spirit. The spirit smiled and said, "Don't be afraid. You are strong and smart. You can lean on me. I will help you." + +Ben and Lily felt happy and calm. They leaned on the spirit and felt its power. They stood up and walked to the slide again. They said, "No, this is our slide. We can share.

Can we be friends?" + +Ben and Lily nodded and smiled. They said, "Yes, we can be friends. But you have to share and care." + +The new boy agreed and apologized. He shared the slide and played with Ben and Lily. They had fun and laughed. The spirit watched and winked. It said, "Well done, Ben and Lily. You are brave and kind. I'm proud of you." + +The end. +Lily and Ben were friends in the classroom. They liked to play with the toys and draw with the crayons. One day, they found a delicate butterfly in the garden. It had yellow and black wings and a long antenna. + +"Wow, look at the butterfly!" Lily said. "It is so pretty!" + +"Can we keep it?" Ben asked. "We can put it in a jar and show it to the teacher." + +"Okay, but we have to be careful. The butterfly is delicate. It can break easily." Lily said. They found a jar and gently caught the butterfly. They made some holes in the lid and put some leaves and flowers inside. + +They brought the jar to the classroom and put it on their desk. They were very happy and proud of their butterfly. They wanted to show it to everyone. + +But then, it was nap time. The teacher told the children to lie down on their mats and sleep. Lily and Ben did not want to sleep. They wanted to watch their butterfly. But the teacher said they had to sleep or they would be in trouble. + +Lily and Ben lay down on their mats, but they did not close their eyes. They looked at the jar on their desk. They saw the butterfly moving its wings and antenna. They smiled at each other. + +But then, something bad happened. A big boy named Tom saw the jar on the desk. He was curious and bored. He did not want to sleep either. He got up from his mat and walked to the desk. He picked up the jar and shook it hard. + +"Hey, what is this?" Tom said. "Is this a toy?" + +Lily and Ben saw Tom shaking the jar. They were scared and angry. They jumped from their mats and ran to the desk. + +"Stop it! Stop it!" Lily shouted. "That is our butterfly! You are hurting it!" + +"Give it back! Give it back!" Ben yelled. "That is not a toy! That is a living thing!" + +But Tom did not listen. He laughed and shook the jar harder. He did not care about the butterfly. He thought it was fun to make it bounce and spin. + +The butterfly was not happy. It was scared and hurt. It could not breathe or fly. It felt its wings and antenna breaking. It felt its life fading. It wished it was back in the garden, free and safe. + +Then, the teacher heard the noise and saw the children fighting. She was angry and shocked. She took the jar from Tom and looked inside. She saw the butterfly lying still and broken. She saw its yellow and black wings and long antenna torn and twisted. She saw its eyes closed and its body limp. + +She knew the butterfly was dead. She felt sad and sorry. She looked at Lily and Ben. They were crying and hugging each other. They felt sad and sorry too. They loved their butterfly. They wanted to keep it alive and happy. + +The teacher looked at Tom. He was quiet and scared. He did not know what he had done. He did not understand why the butterfly was dead. He did not mean to kill it. He just wanted to play. + +The teacher sighed and shook her head. She did not know what to say. She had to teach the children a lesson. She had to make them understand. + +She said, "Tom, you have done a very bad thing. You have killed a butterfly. A butterfly is not a toy. A butterfly is a living thing. A living thing has feelings and needs. A living thing can be delicate and beautiful. A living thing can die. You have to respect and care for living things. You have to say sorry to Lily and Ben. You have to say sorry to the butterfly. And you have to sleep on the floor. You are in big trouble." + +Tom felt ashamed and sorry. He did not want to kill the butterfly. He did not want to hurt Lily and Ben. He did not want to sleep on the floor. He wanted to say sorry. He wanted to be forgiven. He wanted to be a good boy. + +But it was too late. The butterfly was dead. Lily and Ben were sad. The teacher was angry. The classroom was quiet. The jar was empty. The end. +Tim and Lily are young.

She says, "Tim, you have to pay attention. Math is important. You have to learn math. If you don't learn math, you will have problems later." + +Lily feels sorry for Tim. She says, "Tim, math is not so bad. Math is like a game. You can use your fingers or blocks or toys to help you. I can help you too. Do you want to be my math friend?" + +Tim looks at Lily. He sees that she is kind and smart. He says, "Yes, I want to be your math friend. Thank you, Lily. Can you teach me how to do math?" + +Lily smiles. She says, "Yes, I can teach you how to do math.

She said, "No, you are wrong. The slide is pink. I am right. You are bad. Go away!" + +The boy did not go away. He said, "Please, be nice. We can be friends. We can play together. We can have fun. You are not bad. You are just confused. Look, the sun is shining. It makes the slide look pink. But it is really red. See?" + +Lily looked. She saw the sun. She saw the slide. She saw the boy. She saw that he was right. The slide was red. She was wrong. She felt sorry. She said, "I am sorry. You are right. The slide is red. I was wrong. I was mean. Please, forgive me. Can we share? Can we be friends? Can we play together? Can we have fun?" + +The boy smiled. He said, "Yes, we can. I forgive you. You are not mean. You are just silly. Come on, let's go on the slide. It is fun. It does not matter what color it is. What matters is that we are happy and healthy and kind." + +Lily smiled too. She said, "Yes, you are right. It does not matter what color it is.

They want to see more frogs. + +They spend a long time by the pond. They watch the frogs jump, swim and croak. They try to count the frogs. They make frog sounds too. + +They have a lot of fun with the frogs. They forget about the time. + +"Come on, Lily, Ben, it is time to go home!" Mom says. She comes to the pond. + +"Mom, look, frogs!" Lily and Ben say. They show Mom the frogs. + +Mom smiles. She likes the frogs too. She says they are cute. + +"Can we come back to see the frogs, Mom?" Lily and Ben ask. + +"Sure, we can come back another day," Mom says. "But now we have to go. Say bye to the frogs." + +"Bye, frogs!" Lily and Ben say. They wave to the frogs. + +The frogs wave back with their legs. They croak goodbye. + +Lily and Ben are happy. They had a fun day with the frogs. They can't wait to see them again. +Tom and Lily liked to play with their toys in the garden. They had a lot of toys, but their favorite was a big crane.

They just threw their toys in a big pile in the corner. They did not put them in their boxes or shelves. They thought their mom would not notice. + +But their mom did notice. She came to check on them and saw the pile of toys. She was very angry. She said, "Lily and Max, this is not cleaning. This is hiding. You have to put your toys in their places. Or you will not get any dessert or any hugs." + +Lily and Max did not want to miss dessert or hugs. They loved cake and ice cream and hugs. So they started to clean their room again. This time they did a good job. They put their toys in their boxes and shelves. They made their beds and threw away their trash. They even dusted their gray dresser and their gray lamp. + +Their mom came to check on them again and saw their clean room. She was very happy. She said, "Lily and Max, this is cleaning.

They asked their mom if they could go. Their mom said yes, but they had to be careful and come back before dark. + +Tom and Sam ran across the valley and started to climb the hill. It was hard to climb. The hill was steep and rocky. They had to use their hands and feet to move up. They were tired and thirsty, but they did not stop. They wanted to reach the top. + +They finally got to the top of the hill. They looked around and saw a beautiful view. They saw the valley, their house, and the sun shining in the sky. They felt happy and proud. They decided to relax on the hill for a while. + +"Wow, this is amazing!" Tom said. + +"Yes, it is!" Sam said. "But we should go back soon. It will be dark soon." + +"No, let's stay here a little longer. It's so nice and quiet. We can relax and enjoy the view." Tom said. + +"But mom told us to come back before dark. She will be worried and angry if we are late." Sam said. + +"Don't worry, we have time. Mom won't mind. Come on, relax." Tom said. + +Sam did not agree, but he did not want to argue with Tom. He followed Tom and lay down on the grass. They closed their eyes and relaxed. + +They did not notice that the sun was setting and the sky was getting dark. They did not hear the sound of a big bear coming up the hill. They did not smell the bear's breath or feel its claws. They did not wake up until it was too late. + +The bear attacked Tom and Sam. It was hungry and angry. It bit and scratched them. They screamed and cried, but no one heard them. They tried to fight back, but they were too weak and scared. The bear was too big and strong. It killed Tom and Sam and ate them. + +Their mom waited for them at home. She looked at the clock and the window. She wondered where they were. She called their names and looked for them. She did not find them. She was worried and sad. She did not know what happened to them. + +The moral of the story is: Listen to your mom and do not relax when you should be careful. +Lila and Ben are friends. They like to play outside. But today it is very hot. The sun is bright and the air is dry. They see dust in the wind. + +"Let's go swim in the pond!" Lila says. "It will be cool and fun!" + +"OK!" Ben says. "But we have to ask our moms first." + +They run to their houses and ask their moms. Their moms say yes, but they have to be careful and not go too deep. They also have to wear hats and sunscreen. + +Lila and Ben put on their swimsuits and hats. They take their towels and sunscreen. They walk to the pond. It is not far. They see frogs and ducks and fish. They hear birds and crickets. + +They put on sunscreen and go into the water. It is cold and wet. They splash and laugh and swim. They feel happy and fresh. + +"Look, I can swim like a fish!" Lila says. She moves her arms and legs fast. + +"Me too!" Ben says. He follows her. They swim around the pond. + +They play for a long time. Then they get out and dry themselves. They eat some snacks and drink some water. They thank the pond for the swim. + +They walk back to their houses. They hug and say goodbye. They promise to play again soon. + +They go inside and tell their moms about their swim. Their moms are glad they had fun. They wash their faces and hands. They are tired and sleepy. + +They go to bed and dream of the pond. They smile in their sleep. +Lila likes to run. She runs in the park, in the yard, and in the house. She runs so fast that her hair flies behind her. She thinks she is the best runner in the world. + +One day, she meets a boy named Sam. Sam likes to run too. He says he can run faster than Lila. Lila does not believe him. She says, "Let's race and see who is faster." + +They line up at the start. They say, "Ready, set, go!" They speed away. Lila runs as fast as she can. She looks at Sam. He is ahead of her. She tries to catch up. She runs and runs. But Sam is still ahead. He reaches the end first. He wins the race. + +Lila is sad. She did not win. She feels bad. She thinks she is not the best runner anymore. She looks at Sam. He smiles at her. He says, "You are a good runner, Lila. You were very close. Do you want to race again?" + +Lila nods. She smiles back. She says, "Yes, I want to race again. You are a good runner, Sam. You are very fast. And you are very humble. You are not mean. You are nice." + +They race again. They have fun. They become friends. They learn to share and to be humble. They run and run. They enjoy running. They are happy. +Sam and Mia were twins who liked to help their mom. One day, mom said, "We need to go to the store and buy some things for dinner. Can you two be good and help me?" + +Sam and Mia nodded and put on their shoes and coats. They got in the car and drove to the store. Mom gave them each a small basket and said, "You can pick one thing you want for dinner, but it has to be healthy and not too expensive. OK?" + +Sam and Mia agreed and ran to the aisles. Sam saw some apples and put them in his basket. He liked apples a lot. Mia saw some cheese and put it in her basket. She liked cheese a lot. They met mom at the checkout and showed her their choices. + +Mom smiled and said, "Good job, Sam and Mia. You picked healthy and not too expensive things for dinner. We can make a salad with the apples and cheese and some lettuce and carrots. How does that sound?" + +Sam and Mia said, "Yummy!" and helped mom put the things in the car. They drove back home and went to the kitchen. Mom washed the lettuce and carrots and cut them into small pieces. Sam and Mia washed the apples and cheese and cut them into small pieces too. They mixed everything in a big bowl and added some dressing. + +Mom said, "Dinner is ready. Let's go to the table and eat." Sam and Mia followed mom to the table and saw their dad sitting there. He had just come back from work and looked tired and filthy. He had dirt and grease on his clothes and hands and face. + +Mom said, "Hi, dad. How was your day?" Dad said, "It was hard and long. I had to fix a lot of broken cars and trucks. I'm hungry and thirsty and dirty." + +Mom said, "I'm sorry, dad. You can wash up in the bathroom and then join us for dinner. We have a nice salad that Sam and Mia helped me make. They picked the apples and cheese from the store." + +Dad said, "That sounds great. Thank you, mom. Thank you, Sam and Mia. You are very helpful and sweet. I'll be right back." He got up and went to the bathroom. + +Sam and Mia smiled and said, "You're welcome, dad. We love you." They waited for dad to come back and then ate their salad together. They all enjoyed their dinner and talked about their day. They were a happy family. +Sam and Ben are brothers. They like to play outside on the porch. The porch has a big slide and a swing. Sam and Ben take turns to go on the slide and the swing. + +One day, it rains a lot. The porch gets wet and slippery. Sam and Ben do not know that. They run outside to play. Sam goes on the slide first. He slides down very fast. He slips off the slide and falls on the grass. He hurts his knee and cries. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Sam says. "My knee is red and sore!" + +Ben hears Sam and runs to him. He sees Sam's knee and feels sorry for him. He hugs Sam and says, "It's okay, Sam. I will help you. Let's go inside and get a band-aid." + +Ben helps Sam to stand up. They walk to the door. But the porch is still wet and slippery. Ben slips on the porch and falls on his butt. He bumps his head on the wall. He feels a bump on his head and cries. + +"Ow, ow, ow!" Ben says. "My head is big and hard!" + +Sam hears Ben and runs to him. He sees Ben's head and feels sorry for him. He hugs Ben and says, "It's okay, Ben. I will help you. Let's go inside and get some ice." + +Sam helps Ben to stand up. They walk to the door. They see their dad inside. Their dad is bald. He has no hair on his head. He smiles at them and says, "What happened to you two? You look like you had a lot of fun." + +Sam and Ben look at each other. They look at their dad. They giggle and say, "We slipped on the porch. We have a sore knee and a big head. But we are okay. We love you, dad." + +Their dad hugs them and says, "I love you too, Sam and Ben. You are brave and sweet. But next time, be careful on the porch. It can be wet and slippery. And don't worry about your head, Ben. Bald is beautiful." +Tom and Lily were going to fly in a big plane with Mom and Dad. They were very happy and excited. They packed their bags and toys and went to the airport. The airport was very big and noisy. There were many people and cars and planes. + +Tom and Lily followed Mom and Dad to a long line. They had to show their tickets and bags to a man. The man looked at their bags and said, "No, no, no. You can't take these. They are too big and heavy. You have to leave them here." + +Tom and Lily were very sad and angry. They did not want to leave their bags and toys. They said, "No, no, no. We want our bags and toys. They are ours. We need them." They cried and screamed and kicked. They made a big fuss. + +Mom and Dad were very embarrassed and worried. They tried to calm Tom and Lily down. They said, "Please, please, please. Stop crying and screaming and kicking. We can buy new toys later. We have to go to the plane now. We don't want to miss it." + +But Tom and Lily did not listen. They kept crying and screaming and kicking. They did not care about the plane. They only cared about their bags and toys. They were very crazy. + +The man was very angry and tired. He said, "Enough, enough, enough. You are making too much trouble. You can't go to the plane. You have to stay here. Go away. Go away. Go away." + +Mom and Dad were very shocked and scared. They said, "What? What? What? You can't do that. We have tickets. We have to go to the plane. We have to fly. Please, please, please. Let us go." + +But the man did not listen. He called some other men. They came and took Tom and Lily away. They said, "You are bad kids. You are not allowed to fly. You have to go to a bad place. Bye bye. Bye bye. Bye bye." + +Mom and Dad were very sad and helpless. They could not do anything. They could not see Tom and Lily. They could not fly. They could not smile. They only cried. They cried and cried and cried. +Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to slide, swing and run. They saw a big, thick cloud in the sky. It was dark and scary. + +"Look, Ben, it is going to rain!" Lily said. + +"I don't like rain. It makes me wet and cold," Ben said. + +They ran to the big tree. They hid under the leaves. They heard thunder and saw lightning. They were afraid. + +"Ben, Lily, where are you?" They heard Mom's voice. She was looking for them. + +"Mom, we are here, under the tree!" Ben shouted. + +Mom came to the tree. She saw Ben and Lily. She hugged them. + +"Are you OK, my sweeties?" Mom asked. + +"Yes, Mom, we are OK. But we are scared of the storm," Lily said. + +"Don't worry, the storm will pass soon. Let's go home and have some hot chocolate," Mom said. + +She took Ben and Lily by the hand. They walked to the car. On the way, they saw a beautiful rainbow in the sky. It had many colors. + +"Look, Mom, a rainbow!" Ben said. + +"It is a sign of hope and happiness," Mom said. + +"Can we rescue the rainbow, Mom?" Lily asked. + +"No, my darling, we can't rescue the rainbow. It is not in trouble. It is just a gift from nature. But we can enjoy it and thank it for making us smile," Mom said. + +Ben and Lily smiled. They liked the rainbow. They liked Mom. They felt safe and warm. They went home and had some hot chocolate. They were happy. +Sara was a lazy cat. She liked to sleep all day on the sofa and did not want to play with the other cats. She did not like to go outside and see the birds and the trees. She only wanted to eat and nap. + +One day, Sara's owner brought home a new toy. It was a big ball of yarn. Sara's owner put it on the floor and said, "Look, Sara, a new toy for you! You can chase it and roll it and have fun!" But Sara did not care. She yawned and turned away. + +The other cats were curious. They ran to the ball of yarn and started to play with it. They pounced on it and kicked it and dragged it around. They made a big mess of yarn all over the house. Sara watched them from the sofa and thought they were silly. + +But then, something happened. The ball of yarn rolled under the sofa, where Sara was sleeping. It bumped into her and woke her up. Sara was annoyed. She hissed and scratched at the ball of yarn. She wanted it to go away. + +But the ball of yarn did not go away. It was stuck under the sofa. And so was Sara. The other cats had pulled the yarn so tight that it wrapped around the sofa legs and trapped Sara inside. Sara tried to escape, but she could not. She was too lazy to wiggle and push. She meowed and cried for help. + +The other cats heard her and came to see. They saw Sara under the sofa, tangled in yarn. They laughed and teased her. They said, "Look at Sara, the lazy cat! She has no style. She can't play with the yarn. She can only sleep with it!" + +Sara felt ashamed. She wished she had played with the ball of yarn when she had the chance. She learned a lesson. She decided to be more active and playful from now on. She hoped her owner would come home soon and free her from the yarn. She hoped the other cats would forgive her and be her friends. She hoped she would find a new toy that she liked. And she hoped she would never see the ball of yarn again. +Tim and Sam like to play at the beach. They dig in the sand and splash in the water. They also look for shells and crabs. Crabs are small and hard and have claws and legs. They can pinch and run and hide. + +One day, Tim and Sam find a big crab under a rock. They want to take it home and show it to their mom. They put it in a bucket and carry it to their car. But the crab is not happy. It wants to go back to the sea. It tries to climb out of the bucket and snaps its claws. + +Tim and Sam are scared of the crab. They don't want to get pinched. They drop the bucket and run away. The crab falls out of the bucket and crawls to the water. It is free again. + +Tim and Sam are sad. They lost their crab. They go back to their mom and tell her what happened. She hugs them and says it's okay. She says the crab is better off in the sea. She says they can still display their shells and tell her about their beach adventure.

It was dark outside, and they had a flashlight to see inside the tent. They liked to tell stories and make funny faces with the flashlight. + +But then, the flashlight stopped working. It was very dark in the tent, and they could not see anything. Tom and Lily were scared. They did not like the dark. They wanted to go back to the house, but they did not know how to find the way. + +They heard a noise outside the tent. It sounded like a big animal. Tom and Lily screamed. They thought it was a monster. They hugged each other and hoped the monster would go away. + +But the noise came closer and closer. It was their dad. He had heard them scream and came to check on them. He had another flashlight with him. He opened the tent and shone the flashlight inside. He saw Tom and Lily, who were very happy to see him. + +He asked them what was wrong. Tom and Lily told him that their flashlight broke and they heard a monster. He smiled and hugged them. He explained that their flashlight just needed new batteries, and that the noise was not a monster, but a raccoon. He showed them the raccoon, who was looking for food in the trash can. He said the raccoon was not dangerous, but they should not touch it. + +Tom and Lily felt silly and relieved. They were glad that their dad came to help them. They said sorry for screaming and making him worry. He said it was okay, and that he loved them. He asked them if they wanted to stay in the tent or go back to the house. Tom and Lily said they wanted to go back to the house. They took their flashlight and followed their dad. They said goodnight to the raccoon and went to bed. They were not scared of the dark anymore. +Tom and Lily are brother and sister. They like to play on the shore. The shore is where the water and the sand meet. They can make castles with the sand and splash in the water. + +One day, they find a big shell on the shore. It is shiny and pretty. They both want the shell. They start to pull on it. They say, "It is mine! Give it to me!" + +Their mom sees them. She is not happy. She says, "Stop! You are not being nice. You are not being honest. You both found the shell. You should share it." + +Tom and Lily feel sorry. They do not want to make their mom sad. They do not want to fight. They say, "Sorry, mom. Sorry, brother. Sorry, sister. We will share the shell. We will take turns to hold it." + +Their mom smiles. She says, "That is good. That is honest. That is kind. I am proud of you. Now, let's go and have some fun on the shore." +Anna loves to sing. She sings all day, at home, at school, and in the park. She sings loud and happy, and makes up her own songs. She wants to be an opera singer when she grows up. + +One day, Anna goes to the library with her mom. She sees a big book with a picture of an opera on the cover. She asks her mom what it is. Her mom says, "It's a story that people sing on a stage. They wear fancy clothes and have big voices. It's called an opera." + +Anna is curious. She wants to see an opera. She asks her mom if they can go. Her mom says, "Maybe someday, but operas are very expensive and far away. We don't have enough money to go." + +Anna is sad. She wishes she could go to an opera. She thinks, "Maybe I can own an opera someday. Then I can sing and watch and invite everyone I know." + +She goes home and makes a plan. She finds a big box and some paper and crayons. She draws a stage and some curtains and some people. She cuts them out and sticks them on the box. She makes a sign that says, "Anna's Opera. Come and see." + +She puts the box in the living room and calls her mom and dad and her little brother. She says, "I have a surprise for you. I made an opera. Do you want to see it?" + +Her mom and dad and her little brother smile. They sit on the couch and watch Anna. Anna sings her own songs and moves the paper people. She pretends they are singing too. She is very happy. + +Her mom and dad and her little brother clap and cheer. They say, "Anna, you are a great opera singer. You have a beautiful voice. We are very proud of you." + +Anna beams. She says, "Thank you. I love you. This is my opera. I own it." + +Her little brother says, "Can I sing too?" + +Anna says, "Of course. You can be my opera friend. Come and join me." + +They sing together and have fun. They don't care if they are loud or off-key. They don't care if anyone else can hear them. They don't care if anyone else is deaf. They only care that they are happy and that they have each other. They own their own opera. +Sara and Tom were playing near the sea. They saw a big cliff with many rocks and shells. They wanted to climb the cliff and find more shells. + +"Come on, Sara, let's go up there!" Tom said. + +"OK, Tom, but be careful. The cliff is very high and steep," Sara said. + +They started to climb the cliff, holding on to the rocks and shells. They found some smooth and shiny shells that they liked. They put them in their pockets. + +But then, Tom saw a very big and beautiful shell on the edge of the cliff. He wanted to have it. He reached out his hand to grab it, but he lost his balance. He slipped and fell down the cliff. + +"Tom, Tom, are you OK?" Sara shouted. + +She looked down and saw Tom lying on the sand. He was not moving. She was very scared and sad. She ran down the cliff to help him. + +She reached Tom and saw that he was hurt. He had blood on his head and his arm. He opened his eyes and looked at Sara. + +"I'm sorry, Sara. I was silly. I wanted the big shell. I regret it now. It was not worth it," he said. + +Sara hugged him and cried. She wished they had never climbed the cliff. She wished they had stayed on the beach and played with the sand and the water. She regretted it too. +Sara liked to play with water. She had a spray bottle that she filled with water and soap. She liked to spray the bubbles on the plants and the windows. She thought it was fun and funny. + +One day, Sara saw her mom's new skirt. It was red and shiny and pretty. Sara wanted to try it on. She put it on over her pants and ran to the mirror. She felt like a princess. She twirled and danced and smiled. + +Then she saw her spray bottle. She had an idea. She wanted to make the skirt more pretty. She sprayed the bubbles on the skirt. She sprayed and sprayed and sprayed. The skirt became wet and sticky and soapy. The bubbles dripped on the floor. + +Sara's mom came into the room. She saw Sara and the skirt and the spray bottle and the mess. She was not happy. She was angry and sad. She took the spray bottle from Sara and took off the skirt. She said, "Sara, what did you do? You ruined my new skirt! You can't spray things that are not yours! You have to ask first!" + +Sara felt bad. She did not mean to ruin the skirt. She wanted to make it more pretty. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I wanted to play with the skirt and the spray. I didn't know it would be bad. Please don't be mad at me." + +Sara's mom sighed. She was still angry and sad, but she also loved Sara. She said, "I'm not mad at you, Sara. I'm mad at what you did. You have to be careful with your things and other people's things. You have to learn to respect them. Do you understand?" + +Sara nodded. She understood. She said, "I understand, mom. I will be careful next time. I will ask before I spray. I love you, mom." + +Sara's mom hugged Sara. She said, "I love you too, Sara. Now let's clean up this mess. And then you can take a nap. You look tired." + +Sara agreed. She was tired. She helped her mom clean up the mess. And then she took a nap. She dreamed of bubbles and skirts and spray. But she also dreamed of her mom and her love. +Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play with different things. Sara likes soft things, like her teddy bear and her blanket. Ben likes hard things, like his blocks and his car. One day, they find a big book in their room. It has many pictures and words. + +"Look, Sara, this is a book!" Ben says. He opens the book and shows Sara a page. It has a picture of a lion. "This is a lion. It is big and yellow. It has a mane and a tail." + +Sara touches the picture. It feels rough and bumpy. "This is a texture, Ben. It is how something feels. The lion has a rough texture. It is not soft like my teddy bear." + +Ben turns the page. He sees a picture of a cloud. "This is a cloud. It is white and fluffy. It floats in the sky." + +Sara touches the picture. It feels smooth and soft. "This is a texture, too, Ben. It is how something feels. The cloud has a smooth texture. It is soft like my blanket." + +They keep turning the pages and touching the pictures. They see and feel many different textures. They see and feel a snake, a flower, a rock, a feather, and more. They learn many new words and things. + +They come to the last page. It has a picture of an owl. "This is an owl. It is brown and gray. It has big eyes and a beak. It can fly at night." Ben says. + +Sara touches the picture. It feels fuzzy and warm. "This is a texture, too, Ben. It is how something feels. The owl has a fuzzy texture. It is warm like my teddy bear." + +They look at the owl. It looks at them. It seems to know a lot. "The owl is wise, Sara. It is smart and knows many things. It can see in the dark and hear very well." Ben says. + +Sara nods. She likes the owl. She thinks it is friendly and kind. "The owl is wise, Ben. It is nice and helps other animals.

Sam asks. + +"Yes, Sam. Let's go!" Tom says. + +Tom starts the plane and drives it to the runway. He waits for the signal from the tower. He hears a beep and pushes a button.

Tom says. + +"OK, Tom. Don't worry. I see you on the radar. Follow my instructions. You can do it!" Sam says. + +Sam tells Tom where to go and how to slow down.

It is nap time," Mom says. + +Tom and Anna do not want to stop bouncing. They want to play more. + +"Please, Mom, can we bounce a little more?" Tom asks. + +"No, Tom, you need to rest. Bouncing is fun, but it also makes you tired. Come on, get off the bed and get ready for nap time," Mom says. + +Tom and Anna make a sad face. They do not like nap time. They like bouncing. + +"Can we bounce again after nap time?" Anna asks. + +"Maybe, if you are good and stay in your beds. Nap time is good for you. It helps you grow and learn. And you will have sweet dreams," Mom says. + +She helps them get off the bed and tucks them in. She gives them a kiss and a hug. + +"Sleep well, my happy bouncers. I love you," Mom says. + +Tom and Anna close their eyes. They think about bouncing. They smile. They are happy. They stay in their beds and fall asleep. +Sara and Ben like to play with their cart. They put their toys in the cart and push it around the yard. They have fun and laugh a lot. + +One day, they see a big hill near their house. They think it would be fun to go down the hill with their cart. They ask their mom if they can go. + +"Mom, can we go to the hill with our cart?" Sara says. + +"No, you can't. The hill is too steep and dangerous. You might fall and get hurt. Stay in the yard, please." Mom says. + +But Sara and Ben do not listen. They wait until mom is busy and sneak out with their cart. They run to the hill and get ready to go down. + +"Are you ready, Ben?" Sara says. + +"Yes, I am. This will be easy and fun." Ben says. + +They hop in their cart and start to go down the hill.

They cry and cry. + +Mom hears their cries and comes to see what happened. She sees them lying on the ground with their broken cart and their toys scattered. She is very angry and worried. + +"What did you do? I told you not to go to the hill. You could have been killed. How could you be so foolish and disobedient?" Mom says. + +She picks them up and takes them to the house. She cleans their wounds and puts bandages on them. She tells them they are grounded and can't play with their cart or their toys for a long time. They have to stay in their room and think about what they did. + +Sara and Ben are very sorry and sad. They wish they had listened to mom. They hug each other and say they will never do it again. They learn their lesson the hard way. +Anna and Ben are happy.

Tom said, laughing and dodging Lily's gun. + +Tom ran to the shed and hid behind the door. He thought he was safe, but Lily was smart. She sneaked around the shed and saw Tom's feet sticking out. + +"Got you, robber!" Lily said, jumping out and pointing her gun at Tom. "You are going to jail!" + +"Aw, no, cop, please don't take me to jail!" Tom begged, dropping his bag of money. "I'm sorry, I won't rob again!" + +"Too late, robber, you have to go to jail!" Lily said, grabbing Tom's arm and dragging him to the sandbox. She made him sit in the sandbox and covered him with sand up to his neck. "This is your jail, and you have to stay here until I say so!" + +"But, cop, this is not fair!" Tom complained, feeling the sand in his hair and mouth. "This jail is not attractive, it's dirty and itchy!" + +"Too bad, robber, you should have thought of that before you robbed the bank!" Lily said, smiling and sitting on the edge of the sandbox. "Now you have to learn your lesson!" + +Lily and Tom played like this for a while, until their mom called them for lunch. Then Lily let Tom out of his jail and they ran to the house, holding hands and giggling.

It's sharp and it hurts. Can you take it out?" Tommy said. + +"Of course, Tommy. Let me see Fluffy." Mom said. She took Fluffy from Tommy and put her on the table. She got a pair of tweezers and a band-aid. She gently pulled out the thorn from Fluffy's paw. Fluffy whimpered, but she was brave. Mom put a band-aid on Fluffy's paw. She kissed Fluffy and Tommy. + +"There, Fluffy. You're all better now. But you need a bath. You're filthy." Mom said. + +"Can I give Fluffy a bath, Mom?" Tommy asked. + +"Sure, Tommy. But be careful. Fluffy might not like water." Mom said. + +Tommy and Mom took Fluffy to the bathroom. They filled the tub with warm water and soap. They put Fluffy in the tub. Fluffy hissed and splashed. She didn't like water. But Tommy and Mom were gentle. They washed Fluffy's fur and rinsed her off. They wrapped Fluffy in a towel and dried her. Fluffy looked clean and fluffy again. She purred and licked Tommy's face. + +"Fluffy, you're so pretty now. I love you." Tommy said. + +"I love you too, Tommy. And Fluffy. You're both good." Mom said. + +They hugged and smiled. They were happy. +One night, Lily was in her bed, ready to sleep. She heard a buzz near her ear. It was a mosquito. The mosquito wanted to bite Lily and make her itch.

He used the spade to make a door. He was very careful. He did not want to break the castle. Lily used her fingers to make some windows. She was very happy. + +"Can we read a story in our castle?" Ben asked. He loved to read. He had a book in his backpack. It was about a dragon and a knight. + +"Sure, that sounds fun!" Lily said. She liked to read too. She had a book in her backpack. It was about a princess and a fairy. + +They went inside their castle. They made a cozy spot with their towels. They took out their books. They started to read. + +But then, they heard a loud noise.

Do you remember what dad told you about tools?" + +Tom and Ben stopped fighting and looked at their mom. They remembered what their dad told them. He said, "Tools are for making things, not for hurting people. Tools are fun, but they can also be dangerous. You have to be careful and respectful with tools. You have to use them the right way and put them away when you are done. And you have to share them with others, because sharing is caring." + +Tom and Ben felt sorry for fighting. They said, "We are sorry, mom. We remember what dad said. We were not wise. We will share the hammer and help each other." They gave each other a hug and a smile. They gave the hammer to their mom and said, "Thank you for the tools, mom. We love you." + +Their mom smiled and said, "I love you too, boys. I'm glad you remember what dad said. You are wise now.

It is green and has long legs. Tom wants to look at it. He goes near the leaf and says hello to the insect. + +The insect does not say hello back. It does not like Tom. It is scared of Tom. It thinks Tom is big and loud. It wants to get away from Tom. It springs from the leaf and flies in the air. It makes a buzzing sound. + +Tom is surprised. He did not know the insect can spring and fly. He thinks it is fun. He wants to catch the insect. He runs after it and tries to grab it. He laughs and shouts. + +The insect does not think it is fun.

He is scared. He does not like the sound. He thinks the insect is angry. He does not want to hold the jar. He drops the jar and runs away. He cries and calls for his mom. + +The jar falls on the ground and breaks. The insect is free. It flies out of the jar and away from the park. It is glad to escape from Tom. It looks for a quiet place to rest. It does not want to see Tom again. +Lily liked to play dress-up with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Anna. Anna had a delicate skirt that was pink and shiny. Lily liked to put the skirt on Anna and pretend she was a princess. + +One day, Lily wanted to play dress-up with her friend Mia. She brought Anna and her skirt to Mia's house. Mia had a doll too, but her doll was different. Her doll had a big skirt that was blue and fluffy. Mia liked to put the skirt on her doll and pretend she was a fairy. + +"Can I try your skirt?" Lily asked Mia. + +"OK, but be careful. It is very delicate," Mia said. + +Lily took off Anna's skirt and put it on Mia's doll. She liked how it looked, but it was too small. The skirt did not cover the doll's legs. Lily tried to pull the skirt down, but it ripped. + +"Oh no!" Lily cried. "I broke your skirt!" + +Mia looked at her doll and saw the tear. She was very sad. She liked her skirt a lot. She started to cry too. + +"I'm sorry, Mia. I didn't mean to break it," Lily said. + +"It's OK, Lily. It was an accident," Mia said. + +They hugged each other and stopped crying.

Do you know who ordered this?" + +Tom and Mia look at each other. They do not know the man or the box. They feel fearful. They do not want to talk to strangers. + +"Who are you?" Tom asks. "We did not order anything." + +The man smiles. He shows them a paper. "See? This is your address. And this is your name. Tom and Mia Smith. Someone ordered this for you. Maybe your mom or dad?" + +Tom and Mia shake their heads. They do not believe the man. They think he is lying. They want to run away. + +"Spot, come!" Mia calls. She grabs the dog's leash. "Tom, let's go home!" + +But the man blocks their way. He tries to give them the box. "Wait, wait! Don't be afraid. This is a gift for you. It has something nice inside. Something you will like. Do you want to see?" + +Tom and Mia scream. They do not want the box. They do not want the man. They want their mom and dad. They push the man and run to the park gate. They see a police car nearby. They wave their hands and shout for help. + +"Help, help! There is a bad man in the park! He has a scary box! He wants to give it to us! Help, help!" + +The police car stops. Two officers get out. They see the man with the box. They see Tom and Mia with Spot. They run to them. + +"What's going on here?" one officer asks. "Are you OK, kids?" + +Tom and Mia tell the officer what happened. They show him the paper. The officer looks at it. He frowns. + +"This is not your address. This is not your name. This is a fake paper. This man is a thief. He stole this box from someone else. He wanted to trick you and take your things. He is a very bad man." + +The officer puts handcuffs on the man. He puts him in the car. He calls for backup. He tells Tom and Mia they are brave and smart. He asks them where they live. He says he will take them home and talk to their parents. + +Tom and Mia hug each other. They hug Spot. They thank the officer. They are happy and safe. They do not like the big truck or the loud horn or the scary box or the bad man.

They always stay together. +Lila was a curious girl who liked to explore new things. One day, she saw a shiny box in the corner of her room. She wondered what was inside. She walked over and opened the lid. + +"Wow!" she said. "Look at all these pretty things!" She saw a necklace, a bracelet, a ring and a brooch. They sparkled and glittered in the light. She wanted to try them on. + +She put the necklace around her neck, the bracelet on her wrist, the ring on her finger and the brooch on her shirt. She felt like a princess. She looked at herself in the mirror and smiled. + +But then she heard a voice behind her. It was her mom. + +"Lila, what are you doing?" her mom asked. "Those are not your things. They belong to grandma. She gave them to me for safekeeping. They are very old and precious. You can't play with them." + +Lila felt a cold feeling in her chest. She had done something wrong. She did not mean to upset her mom or grandma. She took off the jewelry and put them back in the box. She closed the lid and gave it to her mom. + +"I'm sorry, mom," she said. "I was just curious. They are so pretty. I wanted to see how they look on me." + +Her mom hugged her and kissed her head. + +"I know, sweetie," she said. "You are a curious girl and that's a good thing. But you have to ask before you touch things that are not yours. Some things are special and have stories behind them. Maybe one day, grandma will tell you the stories of her jewelry and let you wear them for a little while. But for now, you have to respect them and leave them alone. OK?" + +Lila nodded. She understood. She said sorry to her mom and grandma. She learned a lesson that day. She still liked to explore new things, but she always asked first.

She decided to go and say sorry. + +She opened the door and saw her mom sitting on the couch. She was holding the wrap and smiling. She said, "Lily, I'm glad you came. I have something to show you." She opened the wrap and Lily saw something amazing. The wrap had a big picture of Lily and her grandma. They were holding hands and smiling. The picture was made of many colors, but they looked beautiful together. + +Lily gasped. She said, "Mom, this wrap is wonderful. I love it. I love you and grandma. I'm sorry for being rude. Can I try it on?" Her mom hugged her and said, "Of course, my dear. I'm proud of you for being brave and kind. You learned a valuable lesson. Colors are not bad. They make the world more interesting and fun. And they show how much we love each other." + +Lily smiled and wrapped herself in the wrap. She felt warm and happy. She said, "Mom, can I draw a picture of us and the wrap? I want to use all the colors." Her mom said, "Yes, you can. And I will help you. Let's go and get your crayons."

You could get hurt or lost." + +Sara hugged him back and said, "I'm sorry, Ben. I was silly. I wanted to see the butterfly. But I did not see the pond. Thank you for saving me. You are a good brother." + +Mom came and saw Sara and Ben. She was happy that they were safe. She was also proud of Ben for being brave and kind. She dried Sara and gave her a new bow. She also gave Ben a new car. She said, "You are both very good children. I love you very much. But please, stay close to me when we are in the park. There are many things that can be dangerous or scary. And always look where you are going." + +Sara and Ben nodded and said, "Yes, mom. We will. We love you too." + +They learned their lesson and did not panic anymore. They played together and had fun. They also watched the butterfly fly away. They were happy and sleepy. They went home and had a nice nap. +Tom and Sue are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big hole in the ground. They want to know what is in the hole. + +"Let's plan a way to look in the hole," Tom says. + +"OK, how?" Sue asks. + +"Maybe we can use a stick or a rope," Tom says. + +They look around and find a long stick. They hold the stick and walk to the hole. They lean over and try to poke the stick in the hole. But the stick is too short. They cannot see anything. + +"Maybe we can use a rope," Sue says. + +They look around and find a rope. They tie the rope to the stick. They hold the rope and walk to the hole. They lower the stick and the rope in the hole. They feel something tug on the rope. + +"Wow, what is that?" Tom says. + +"Maybe it is a treasure or a monster," Sue says. + +They pull the rope and the stick. They see something come out of the hole. It is a dirty old shoe. + +"Aw, that is not a treasure or a monster," Tom says. + +"That is a lie," Sue says. + +They throw the shoe back in the hole. They are sad and angry. + +"Who put the shoe in the hole?" Tom asks. + +"I don't know, but it is not the truth," Sue says. + +They decide to leave the hole and find another game to play. They hope to find the truth someday. +One day, a duck and a frog were friends. They liked to swim in the pond and play games. The duck was good at diving and the frog was good at jumping. + +One day, they saw a twig floating on the water. The twig was long and flexible. The duck said, "Let's see who can bend the twig the most with their beak or mouth. That will be fun!" + +The frog agreed. He jumped on the twig and tried to bend it with his mouth. He could bend it a little bit, but not much. He said, "This twig is hard. I can't bend it much." + +The duck said, "Let me try. I have a strong beak. I can bend it more." He dived under the water and grabbed the twig with his beak. He pulled and pulled, but the twig did not bend much either. He said, "This twig is tough. I can't bend it much either." + +They both tried again and again, but they could not bend the twig much. They started to get tired and frustrated. They said, "This game is not fun. This twig is not flexible. It is stubborn and boring." + +Then, they heard a voice from the shore. It was a squirrel. He said, "Hello, duck and frog. What are you doing with my twig?" + +The duck and the frog were surprised. They said, "Your twig? We found it on the water. We were trying to bend it, but we couldn't." + +The squirrel said, "That twig is not for bending. It is for building. I was going to use it to make my nest. It is strong and sturdy. That is why it is not flexible." + +The duck and the frog felt sorry. They said, "We are sorry, squirrel. We did not know it was your twig. We thought it was just a toy. We will give it back to you." + +The squirrel said, "Thank you, duck and frog. You are kind. Next time, before you take something that is not yours, ask first. Maybe it belongs to someone else. Maybe it has a different purpose. Maybe it is not what you think it is." + +The duck and the frog learned their lesson. They said, "You are right, squirrel. We will ask first next time. We will not judge things by how they look. We will respect other animals and their things." + +They gave the twig back to the squirrel and said goodbye. They swam away and looked for another game to play. They were still friends, but they were more careful and respectful. They had fun, but they also learned. +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 an orange on the table. + +"Look, an orange!" Tom said. "I want it!" + +He ran to the table and grabbed the orange. He peeled it and ate it in big bites. + +Lily followed him and saw what he did. She was angry and sad. She liked oranges too, but Tom did not share. + +"Tom, that was not nice!" Lily said. "You should share with me! You are greedy!" + +Tom did not listen. He finished the orange and threw the peel on the floor. He smiled and said, "Too bad, Lily. I got the orange and you did not. I am the best!" + +Lily felt tears in her eyes. She did not want to play with Tom anymore. She turned around and walked to her room. + +Tom felt lonely. He looked at his truck and his doll. They did not make him happy. He looked at the peel on the floor. He felt sorry. He wished he had shared the orange with Lily. He wished he had been humble. + +He got up and ran to Lily's room. He knocked on the door and said, "Lily, I am sorry. I was wrong. I should have shared the orange with you. Can we be friends again?" + +Lily opened the door and saw Tom. She saw that he was sorry. She smiled and said, "It's okay, Tom. I forgive you. You are my brother and I love you. Come, let's play together." + +Tom hugged Lily and said, "Thank you, Lily. You are my sister and I love you too. Come, let's play together." + +They went back to the living room and played with their toys. They shared and helped each other. They were happy and humble. They remained friends. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play on the beach. They make sand castles and look for shells. Sometimes they pretend they are on an island far away. + +One day, they find a big boat on the shore. It is old and broken. But they think it is fun. They climb inside and pretend they are sailors. They have a map and a compass. They look for treasure and pirates. + +"Ahoy, matey!" Ben says. "Do you see land?" + +Anna looks out of the window. She sees a small island with palm trees and flowers. "Yes, I do!" she says. "Let's go there!" + +They take their map and compass and jump out of the boat. They swim to the island. They are happy and excited. They explore the island and find a cave. Inside the cave, they see a chest. They open it and find gold and jewels. + +"Wow!" Anna says. "We are rich!" + +"We are the best sailors ever!" Ben says. + +They play with the treasure and put some in their pockets. They are tired and hungry. They find some bananas and coconuts on the island. They eat them and drink the coconut water. They feel better. + +They decide to take a nap on the island. They find a soft spot under a palm tree. They lie down and close their eyes. + +"Good night, Anna," Ben says. + +"Good night, Ben," Anna says. + +They sleep and dream of their adventure. They are kind and happy friends. +Anna and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a ball, a bike and a kite. They have fun in the sun. + +But Anna is hungry. She says to Ben, "I want lunch. I miss lunch. Do you have lunch?" + +Ben says, "No, I don't have lunch. I miss lunch too. Let's go home and ask mom for lunch." + +They go home and find mom in the kitchen. She is making soup and sandwiches. She says, "Hello, Anna and Ben. You look happy. Did you have fun in the park?" + +Anna and Ben say, "Yes, mom. We had fun. But we are hungry. Can we have lunch?" + +Mom says, "Of course, you can have lunch. But first, you have to wash your hands. They are dirty and smelly. Go to the bathroom and use soap and water." + +Anna and Ben go to the bathroom and wash their hands. They use soap and water. They make bubbles and splash. They laugh and giggle. + +Then they go back to the kitchen and sit at the table. Mom gives them soup and sandwiches. They say, "Thank you, mom. This is a good lunch. We don't miss lunch anymore." + +Mom says, "You're welcome, Anna and Ben. I'm glad you like it. Eat well and enjoy your lunch." + +Anna and Ben eat well and enjoy their lunch. They are not hungry anymore. They are happy. They love mom and lunch. +Lily and Max were playing by the river. They liked to watch the fish and the ducks. Sometimes they saw an otter. The otter was brown and furry. He had a long tail and a funny nose. He liked to swim and dive and catch fish. + +One day, they saw the otter with a shiny thing on his neck. It was a fancy necklace. It had many colors and sparkles. Lily and Max wanted to see it better. They went closer to the otter. The otter saw them and got scared. He ran away with the necklace. + +"Wait, otter, wait!" Lily called. "We just want to look at your necklace. It is so pretty. Where did you get it?" + +But the otter did not stop. He hid under a big rock. Lily and Max followed him. They tried to peek under the rock. But they could not see the otter or the necklace. + +"Please, otter, please!" Max said. "We are not bad. We are your friends. We will not take your necklace. We just want to say hello." + +But the otter did not come out. He was too afraid. He started to cry. Lily and Max heard his cry. They felt sorry for the otter. They did not want to make him cry. They wanted to make him happy. + +"Sorry, otter, sorry!" Lily and Max said. "We did not mean to scare you. We will go away now. We hope you are okay. We hope you like your necklace. It is very fancy. You are very lucky." + +Lily and Max walked away from the rock. They looked back at the river. They hoped the otter would come out and play again. They hoped he would not cry anymore. They hoped he would be their friend. +Lily loved her kitten, Snowy. Snowy was white and fluffy and liked to play with Lily. Lily and Snowy were popular in their street. All the other kids wanted to pet Snowy and play with him. + +One day, Lily and Snowy were playing in the garden. Snowy saw a bird on the fence and ran after it. Lily followed him.

Snowy will be fine." + +Lily nodded and wiped her tears. She said, "I'm sorry, Snowy. I love you. You are my best friend. I hope you get well soon." She kissed Snowy and held his paw. Mom smiled and said, "You are a good girl, Lily. And Snowy is a brave kitten. Come on, let's go to the car. The vet is waiting for us." She carried Snowy and Lily followed her. They got in the car and drove to the vet. Lily hoped that Snowy would be happy and healthy again. +Tim and Kim liked to play in the kitchen. They liked to look at the pots and pans, the spoons and forks, and the bottles and jars. But they knew they had to be careful, because some things were hot or sharp or messy. + +One day, they saw a big red bottle on the counter. It had a picture of a tomato and some words they could not read. They wondered what was inside. They climbed on a chair and reached for the bottle. They opened the lid and smelled it. It was sweet and sour and spicy. They liked it. + +They decided to try some. They poured some on a plate and dipped their fingers in it. It was sauce. They licked their fingers and smiled.

They are happy. +Anna and Ben were playing in the park with their dolls. They liked to pretend that their dolls were doctors and nurses who helped sick people. They used sticks as their staffs to check the people's hearts and ears. + +"Hello, I am Doctor Anna and this is Nurse Ben," Anna said to a lady on a bench. "We are here to restore your health. Can we see your doll?" + +The lady smiled and handed her doll to Anna. It was a very old and dirty doll, with a torn dress and a missing eye. Anna and Ben felt sorry for the doll. They wanted to make it look new and pretty again. + +They took the doll to a nearby fountain and washed it with water. They tried to scrub off the dirt and fix the dress. They found a button and sewed it on as a new eye. They combed the doll's hair and tied a ribbon around it.

"She is very adorable now, don't you think?" + +The lady looked at the doll and screamed. She snatched the doll from Anna and threw it on the ground. She stomped on it and ripped it apart. She yelled at Anna and Ben, "How dare you touch my doll! You ruined it! You stupid kids, go away!" + +Anna and Ben were shocked and scared. They started to cry and ran away from the park. They did not understand why the lady was so mean and angry. They thought they were doing something nice. They felt very sad and hurt. They never played with dolls again. +Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play in the park. They ran to the swings and took turns to push each other. They laughed and shouted as they flew high in the air. + +"Look at me, Lily! I'm a bird!" Ben said. + +"You're a silly bird, Ben! I'm a rocket!" Lily said. + +They swung faster and faster, until they felt dizzy and jumped off. They landed on the grass and rolled around. They were happy and tired. + +They decided to go home, but they saw a path that led to the woods. They were curious and wanted to explore. They followed the path and saw many trees and flowers and animals. They felt like adventurers. + +But the path was also muddy and dirty. They stepped on puddles and leaves and sticks. They got filthy and wet. They didn't notice until they reached the end of the path and saw a fence. + +"Oh no, Lily! Look at us! We're filthy!" Ben said. + +"Oh no, Ben! Look at us! We're filthy!" Lily said. + +They looked at each other and saw mud and dirt and stains on their clothes and shoes and faces and hair.

But I hope you will be happy with your bike. Goodbye, Sue." + +Tom walks away from the store. He does not look back. He does not see Sue crying. She realizes she made a big mistake. She does not love the bike more than Tom. She loves Tom more than anything. She wants to say sorry to Tom. She wants to go home with Tom.

Tom asked. + +Mama laughed and said, "Maybe in your dreams, Tom. But not in real life. Dinosaurs are not here anymore. They lived a long, long time ago." + +Sara and Tom felt sad. They wanted to see dinosaurs and play with them. Mama hugged them and said, "Don't be sad, my loves. You can still imagine dinosaurs and make stories about them. And maybe, you will dream of them tonight. Now, it's time to settle down and sleep. Good night, Sara. Good night, Tom." + +Sara and Tom said good night to Mama and cuddled with their stuffed animals.

The tractor is very big and loud. And we have to be slow. We don't want to hurt the corn." + +He takes them to the field. He shows them how to attach a machine to the tractor. The machine has sharp teeth. It can cut the corn and put it in a big box. + +"This is how we get corn," he says. "We drive the tractor along the rows of corn. The machine cuts the corn and fills the box. Then we take the box to the barn. There we can store the corn or sell it or eat it." + +"Wow, that's amazing!" Tom and Sue say. "Can we help you?" + +"Sure, you can help me," he says. "You can sit with me on the tractor and watch. But don't touch anything. It can be dangerous. And remember, we have to be slow.

They said sorry to each other and hugged too. + +"Can we play with our cars again?" Lily asked. + +"Sure, but this time, let's play a different game.

"Let's go home and rest." + +"But mom, we want to play more," Tom and Lily said. + +"Sorry, sweeties, but you need a nap. You will feel better after you sleep. And maybe we can play more later." + +Mom took Tom and Lily by the hand and walked them to the car. On the way, they saw a big house. It was very old and had a lot of cracks and holes. It looked scary. + +"What is that, mom?" Tom asked. + +"That is an ancient house, Tom. It is very, very old. Nobody lives there anymore. It is not safe." + +"Why is it not safe, mom?" Lily asked. + +"Because it can fall down, Lily. And because it has smoke inside. Smoke is bad for you. It can make you cough and sick." + +"Who made the smoke, mom?" Tom asked. + +"I don't know, Tom. Maybe some bad people. Or maybe a fire. We should stay away from it." + +Mom drove them home and tucked them in their beds. She gave them a kiss and a hug. + +"Sleep well, my loves. I will be here when you wake up." + +Tom and Lily closed their eyes and fell asleep. They dreamed of the park and the ancient house and the smoke. They wondered what was inside.

It is mine, I found it first!" Sara says. + +"No, it is mine, I want it too!" Ben says. + +They pull harder and harder, until the rock slips from their hands and falls on Ben's foot. Ben cries out in pain. Sara drops the rock and runs to him. + +"I'm sorry, Ben, I'm sorry!" Sara says. "Are you okay? Does it hurt?" + +Ben nods and sobs. He holds his foot and points at the rock. "Bad rock, bad rock! It hurt me!" + +Sara feels sorry for Ben. She picks up the rock and throws it away. She hugs Ben and says, "I don't want the rock anymore. You are more important than the rock. Come on, let's go inside and tell Mommy." + +They go inside and tell Mommy what happened. Mommy looks at Ben's foot and sees that it is swollen and red. She says, "Oh, poor Ben, you need to go to the doctor. Maybe you have a broken bone. We need to get an x-ray." + +"What is an x-ray?" Sara asks. + +"An x-ray is a picture of your bones. It helps the doctor see if they are okay or not." Mommy says. + +"Will it hurt?" Ben asks. + +"No, it won't hurt. It will be quick and easy. But it will be expensive. X-rays cost a lot of money." Mommy says. + +Sara and Ben don't know what expensive means, but they think it is something bad. They feel sad and scared. They wish they never found the rock. They hug Mommy and say, "We're sorry, Mommy. We didn't mean to make trouble." + +Mommy hugs them back and says, "It's okay, my loves. It's not your fault. Accidents happen. I'm not mad at you.

"You have to share this room and respect each other's things. Anna, you can't tell Ben how to clean his side. Ben, you can't leave your things all over the place.

"But be careful, he might lick you." + +Lily and Ben reach out their hands and touch the dog's fur. It is soft and warm. The dog licks their faces and makes them giggle. They hug the dog and say, "We love you, Max." + +The lady says, "You are very sweet, thank you for being nice to Max. He is a good dog, but sometimes he is hard to train. He likes to chase squirrels and birds." + +Lily and Ben laugh and say, "We like to chase them too." + +They play with the dog for a while, then they say goodbye and thank the lady. They go back to their mom and dad, who are sitting on a bench. They tell them about Max and how much they enjoyed meeting him. + +Mom and dad are happy to see them smiling. They say, "We are proud of you for being brave and polite. You made a new friend today." + +Lily and Ben hug their mom and dad and say, "We love you too." + +They feel peace in their hearts. They have a good day in the park. +Lily and Ben were twins who liked to help their mom and dad with the Christmas tree. They had a big box of ornaments that they could hang on the branches. Some ornaments were shiny, some were fuzzy, some were round, and some were funny. + +Lily and Ben wanted to see who could load more ornaments on the tree. They were competitive and liked to win. They each took a handful of ornaments and ran to the tree. They tried to find the best spots to hang them. They did not share or take turns. + +"Look, I have more ornaments than you!" Lily said. She pointed to her side of the tree, which was full of sparkly and fluffy ornaments. + +"No, I have more ornaments than you!" Ben said. He pointed to his side of the tree, which was full of colorful and silly ornaments. + +They kept loading more and more ornaments on the tree, until it was too heavy and started to lean. Mom and dad saw what was happening and ran to the tree. They caught it before it fell and made a loud noise. + +"Whoa, whoa, whoa!" Mom said. "What are you two doing? You can't load the tree with so many ornaments. It will break!" + +"Sorry, mom," Lily and Ben said. They looked at each other and felt bad. They did not mean to make the tree fall. They just wanted to have fun. + +Mom and dad smiled and hugged them. They said it was okay, but they had to be more careful and work together. They helped them unload some of the ornaments and put them back in the box. They showed them how to load the tree with fewer ornaments and make it look pretty and balanced. They also let them choose one special ornament each to hang on the top. + +Lily and Ben learned their lesson. They stopped being competitive and started being cooperative. They loaded the tree with their mom and dad and had a merry Christmas. +Tom and Lily are playing in the garden. They have a big box of tools. They like to pretend they are builders and fix things. + +"Look, I have a hammer and nails. I can make a house for my teddy bear," Tom says. + +"I have a saw and a ruler. I can make a fence for my doll," Lily says. + +They work hard and have fun. They make a lot of noise. + +Mom comes out and sees what they are doing. She smiles and brings them some juice and cookies. + +"Wow, you are very good builders. You have made a nice house and a fence. Can I join you and play too?" Mom asks. + +"Yes, Mom, you can join us. We have more tools. You can have a screwdriver and a wrench. You can help us make a door and a gate," Tom says. + +"Thank you, Tom. That sounds fun. I like to play with tools too," Mom says. + +They share the tools and the juice and the cookies. They play together and make a door and a gate. They are happy and proud of their work. They hug Mom and say, "We love you, Mom. You are a good builder too." +Sara and Ben love to play in the park. They like to swing, slide and run. One day, they see a dove on a tree. The dove is white and soft. It makes a cooing sound. + +"Look, a dove!" Sara says. "It is so pretty!" + +"Can we touch it?" Ben asks. + +They go closer to the tree. The dove does not fly away. It looks at them with its black eyes. + +"Hello, dove," Sara says. "We are Sara and Ben. We want to be your friends." + +The dove coos again. It hops down from the tree and lands on Sara's shoulder. Sara giggles. She strokes the dove's feathers. + +"Wow, it likes you!" Ben says. "Can I hold it too?" + +Sara nods. She carefully passes the dove to Ben. The dove snuggles in his arms. Ben smiles. He feels happy. + +The dove is important to Sara and Ben. They decide to name it Coco. They bring some bread and water for it. They play with it every day in the park. Coco is their new friend. They love Coco and Coco loves them. +Lily liked to stretch in the morning. She stretched her arms, her legs, and her toes. She felt good and ready for the day. She jumped out of bed and ran to the kitchen. She smelled something spicy. + +"Mommy, what are you making?" she asked. + +"I'm making a magic soup, Lily. It has carrots, potatoes, and a special spice. It will make you strong and smart and happy," Mommy said. + +"Can I help you, Mommy?" Lily asked. + +"Of course, sweetie. You can wash the carrots and peel them. Be careful with the knife, though. It's sharp," Mommy said. + +Lily washed the carrots and peeled them. She liked to see the orange skin come off. She put the carrots in a big pot with water. Mommy added the potatoes and the spice. She stirred the soup with a wooden spoon. + +"Mommy, what is the spice?" Lily asked. + +"It's a secret, Lily. It's a magic spice. It comes from a faraway land. It makes the soup taste good and warm and different," Mommy said. + +Lily was curious. She wanted to try the magic spice. She reached for the jar on the counter. But it was too high for her. She stretched her arm as much as she could. She almost touched the jar. But then she lost her balance and fell on the floor. + +"Ouch!" she cried. + +Mommy heard her and ran to her. She picked her up and hugged her. + +"Are you okay, Lily?" she asked. + +"I'm okay, Mommy. I just wanted to see the magic spice," Lily said. + +Mommy smiled and kissed her. + +"You don't need to see it, Lily. You can taste it. The soup is ready. Let's have some. It will make you feel better," Mommy said. + +She poured some soup in a bowl and gave it to Lily. Lily blew on it and took a sip. It was hot and spicy and delicious. She felt a warm tingling in her mouth and her belly. She smiled and said, + +"Yummy! This is the best soup ever, Mommy. Thank you for the magic soup!" +Sara and Ben like to play in the snow. They make a big snowman with a hat and a carrot nose. They give him two rocks for eyes and a smile. They are very happy. + +But then a big dog comes. He is black and loud. He runs to the snowman and barks. He bites the hat and the carrot. He makes the snowman fall down. Sara and Ben are very scared. They run to their house. + +"Mommy, mommy, a big dog broke our snowman!" Sara cries. + +"Oh no, that's not nice. Are you OK?" Mommy asks. + +"Yes, we are OK, but we are sad. We worked hard on our snowman," Ben says. + +Mommy hugs them and says, "I'm sorry, my loves. How about we make some hot chocolate and cookies? That will make you feel better." + +"Yes, please!" Sara and Ben say. + +Mommy goes to the kitchen and makes hot chocolate and cookies. She puts some salt in the cookies to make them tasty. She brings them to Sara and Ben. They sit on the couch and drink and eat. + +"Thank you, mommy. You are the best," Sara and Ben say. + +"You're welcome, my loves. You are the best, too," Mommy says. + +They smile and hug. They are not scared anymore. They are warm and happy. They watch the snow fall outside. It is white and pretty. They hope the big dog will not come back. They hope they can make another snowman tomorrow. +Tom and Mia were playing in their room. They liked to pretend they were pirates and look for treasure. They had a big box full of toys and clothes that they used as their ship and their loot. + +One day, they found a lamp in the box. It was shiny and had a funny shape. Tom picked it up and rubbed it with his hand. He hoped it was a magic lamp like in the story. + +Suddenly, a loud noise came from the lamp. It was a voice that said, "Hello, I am the genie of the lamp. You have three wishes. What do you want?" + +Tom and Mia were very confused. They did not know what a genie was or what wishes were. They looked at each other and then at the lamp. + +"Who are you?" Tom asked. "Where did you come from?" + +"I told you, I am the genie of the lamp. I live inside the lamp. You rubbed the lamp, so you freed me. Now I have to grant you three wishes. Anything you want, I can do it for you," the voice said. + +Tom and Mia did not believe the voice. They thought it was a trick. They decided to test the voice. + +"OK, if you are a genie, then make a cake appear on the table," Mia said. + +"Your wish is my command," the voice said. "But be careful, you only have two more wishes left." + +In a flash, a big cake appeared on the table. It had chocolate and cream and sprinkles on top. It smelled very good. + +Tom and Mia were amazed. They ran to the table and grabbed a slice of cake. They tasted it and it was delicious. + +"Wow, this is real!" Tom said. "The lamp is really magic!" + +"Maybe we should wish for more things," Mia said. "What else do you want?" + +Tom and Mia thought hard. They had so many ideas. They wanted to have more toys, more books, more clothes, more friends, more fun. + +But before they could say anything, they heard their mom shout from downstairs. + +"Tom! Mia! Time for dinner! Come down now!" + +Tom and Mia looked at each other. They did not want to leave the lamp and the cake. They wanted to stay and play and wish. + +But they also did not want to make their mom angry. They knew they had to obey her. + +They put the lamp back in the box and hid it under the bed. They took one more bite of cake and ran downstairs. + +They decided to save their wishes for later. They hoped the genie would still be there when they came back. They wondered what he would do while they were gone. They were very curious and excited. They could not wait to see him again. +True was a little dog who loved to play with his friends. He liked to run, jump, bark and chase balls. He was not afraid of anything, except for one thing: thunder. When he heard the loud noise in the sky, he would tremble and hide under the bed. + +One day, True was playing with his friends in the park, when he saw dark clouds in the sky. He knew that thunder was coming soon, and he felt scared. He wanted to go home, but his friends did not want to stop playing. They said, "Don't be silly, True. Thunder can't hurt you. It's just a sound. Come on, let's have fun!" + +True tried to be brave, but he could not. He heard the first boom of thunder, and he ran away from his friends. He looked for a place to hide, but he could not find one. He felt alone and sad. He wished he was at home, with his family. + +Then, he saw a girl sitting on a bench. She had a mild smile on her face, and she was holding a book. She saw True running towards her, and she said, "Hello, little dog. Are you lost? Are you afraid of the thunder?" + +True nodded, and he whimpered. He felt the girl's hand on his head, and he felt a little better. She said, "Don't worry, little dog. I'm afraid of the thunder, too. But I have a trick to make it go away. Do you want to hear it?" + +True nodded again, and he wagged his tail. He liked the girl, and he wanted to hear her trick. She said, "When I hear the thunder, I close my eyes, and I think of something nice. Like a rainbow, or a flower, or a hug. Then, I say to myself, 'Thunder, thunder, go away. Come again another day.' And I repeat it until the thunder stops. Do you want to try it with me?" + +True nodded once more, and he closed his eyes. He thought of his family, and his friends, and his toys. He said with the girl, "Thunder, thunder, go away. Come again another day." And he repeated it until the thunder stopped. + +When he opened his eyes, he saw the sun shining again. He felt happy and calm. He licked the girl's face, and he thanked her. She said, "You're welcome, little dog. You're very brave, and very cute. What's your name?" + +He barked, and he said, "My name is True." + +She smiled, and she said, "That's a nice name. My name is Hope. Do you want to be my friend?" + +He barked again, and he said, "Yes, I do." + +And they became friends, and they played together until True's family came to pick him up. And True never felt afraid of the thunder again. +Anna liked to play with wool. She had many colors of wool and she made things with them. She made hats and scarves and dolls and animals. She was very intelligent and she knew how to tie the wool in different ways. + +One day, she wanted to make a wool dog. She took some brown wool and some black wool and she tied them together. She made a head, a body, four legs and a tail. She used some buttons for the eyes and the nose. She was very happy with her wool dog and she named him Spot. + +She showed her wool dog to her mom and dad. They smiled and said, "Wow, Anna, you are very clever! You made a beautiful wool dog with wool and buttons. How did you do that?" + +Anna said, "I used my wool and I tied it. I like to tie wool. It is fun and easy. Do you want to try?" + +Her mom and dad nodded and said, "Yes, we want to try. Can you teach us how to tie wool?" + +Anna said, "Yes, I can teach you. Come, I will show you. It is easy. You just need wool and your fingers." + +Anna took some wool and gave it to her mom and dad. She showed them how to tie the wool in different ways. They followed her instructions and they made some wool things too. They made a wool cat, a wool bird and a wool flower. They had a lot of fun and they laughed and hugged. + +Anna said, "Look, we made a wool family. We have a wool dog, a wool cat, a wool bird and a wool flower. They are all different and they are all beautiful. I love wool and I love you." + +Her mom and dad said, "We love wool and we love you too, Anna. You are very intelligent and very creative. You make us very proud and very happy. Thank you for teaching us how to tie wool." + +They put their wool things on the table and they admired them. They played with them and they told stories about them. They had a wonderful time with wool and with each other. +Anna and Ben love to go to the lake with their dad. They have a big kayak that can fit all of them. Dad paddles the kayak and Anna and Ben sit in the front and look at the water and the trees. + +One day, they see a lot of ducks on the lake. They are brown and white and have orange feet. They make loud quacks and swim together. Anna and Ben want to see them closer, so they ask dad to paddle near them. + +"Can we feed the ducks, dad?" Anna says. + +"Sure, we have some bread in the bag. But we have to be gentle and quiet, or we will scare them away," dad says. + +He gives Anna and Ben some pieces of bread and they hold them in their hands. They toss the bread into the water and watch the ducks come closer. The ducks eat the bread and make happy noises. Some of them even swim up to the kayak and nibble on Anna and Ben's fingers. + +Anna and Ben giggle and pat the ducks softly. They like their soft feathers and their funny faces. They feel happy and warm. + +But then, a big splash makes them jump. A fish jumps out of the water and lands on the kayak. It is shiny and slippery and wiggles a lot. The ducks get scared and scatter. They fly away in different directions, quacking loudly. + +Anna and Ben scream and drop their bread. Dad laughs and picks up the fish. He throws it back into the water and it swims away. + +"That was a surprise, huh?" dad says. + +Anna and Ben nod and hug dad. They are still a little scared, but also curious. + +"What was that, dad?" Ben says. + +"That was a fish, son. A big fish that wanted some bread too. But don't worry, it won't hurt us. It was just playing," dad says. + +Anna and Ben smile and look at the water. They see the fish make another splash and wave at it. They hope the ducks will come back soon. They want to feed them more bread and say sorry for the fish. They love the lake and the kayak and the ducks and the fish. They love their dad too. He is the best. +Tom and Anna like to play with their toy cars. They have many cars of different colors and sizes. They drive them on the floor, on the sofa, and on the table. Sometimes they make noises like vroom, beep, and honk. + +One day, they find a big sack in the closet. It is full of old clothes that Mom wants to give away. Tom and Anna have an idea. They empty the sack and put their cars inside. Then they tie the sack with a string. + +"Let's go for a ride!" Tom says. He puts the sack on his back and holds the string. Anna follows him. They pretend they are driving a big truck. They go around the house, up and down the stairs, and into the yard. + +They see Dad working in the garden. He looks up and smiles. "What are you doing, kids?" he asks. + +"We are driving a truck!" Anna says. "We have many cars in our sack. Do you want to see?" + +"Sure, I do!" Dad says. He walks over to them and helps them open the sack. He takes out some cars and looks at them. "Wow, these are very nice cars. You have a perfect collection. Can I play with you?" + +"Yes, you can!" Tom and Anna say. They are happy that Dad likes their cars. They give him some cars and they all play together. They drive, they honk, and they have fun. They forget about the old clothes in the closet. They only care about their cars and their truck. They are a perfect team. +Ben and Lily are twins. They are three years old. They like to play and learn new things. They are very intelligent. + +Today is a special day. It is New Year's Eve. Ben and Lily are going to see fireworks with their mom and dad.

Ben says. He points to the sky. He sees a firework. It is red and green and yellow. It makes a loud bang and a bright spark. + +"Wow, wow!" Lily says. She sees another firework. It is blue and purple and white. It makes a soft whistle and a pretty star. + +They clap their hands and laugh. They see more and more fireworks. They are all different colors and shapes and sounds.

They hug and kiss their mom and dad. + +They are happy and grateful. They have a wonderful family and a wonderful night. They are very intelligent and very lucky. +Lily and Tom were playing with snow in the yard. They made a big snowman with a hat, a scarf and a carrot nose. They were very happy. + +But then the sun came out and it was very warm. The snowman started to melt. His hat fell off, his scarf got wet and his carrot nose dropped. Lily and Tom were sad. + +They ran to the house and got a bucket. They wanted to save the snowman. They filled the bucket with snow and ran back to the yard. But the bucket had a leak. The snow dripped out and made a trail on the ground. + +"Oh no, our bucket is broken!" Lily cried. + +"Maybe we can find another one," Tom said. + +They looked around, but they could not see any other buckets. They saw a big dog, a red car and a swing, but no buckets. + +The snowman melted more and more. He was very small now. He looked fearful. + +"Please don't go, snowman," Lily said. "We love you." + +The snowman smiled weakly. He said, "I love you too, Lily and Tom. But I have to go. The sun is too hot for me. Maybe I will come back when it is cold again." + +Lily and Tom hugged the snowman. They felt a tear on their cheek. They said goodbye to the snowman and went inside. They hoped they would see him again. +Ben and Mia liked to play golf with their dad. He had a big bag of golf sticks and small white balls. He showed them how to hit the balls with the sticks and make them fly far. Ben and Mia had fun trying to do the same. + +One day, they went to the park to play golf. Dad found a nice spot with some grass and trees. He put the bag of golf sticks on the ground and took one out. He gave one to Ben and one to Mia. He said, "Now, watch me and repeat what I do. Hold the stick like this, swing it like this, and hit the ball like this." He hit the ball and it flew high and far. + +Ben and Mia watched him and tried to repeat what he did. Ben held the stick like dad, swung it like dad, and hit the ball like dad. His ball flew high and far too. He was happy and said, "Look, dad, I did it!" + +Mia held the stick like dad, swung it like dad, but missed the ball. She tried again and again, but she could not hit the ball. She was sad and said, "I can't do it, dad, it's too hard!" + +Dad said, "Don't worry, Mia, you can do it. Just keep trying and repeat what I do. You'll get better with practice." + +Mia nodded and tried again. She held the stick like dad, swung it like dad, and hit the ball like dad. But this time, her ball flew too high and too far. It hit a tree and bounced back. It hit dad on the head and made him fall down. + +Mia gasped and ran to dad. She said, "Oh no, dad, are you okay? I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hit you!" + +Dad rubbed his head and got up. He said, "I'm okay, Mia, don't worry. It was an accident. You did hit the ball like me, but you hit it too hard. Next time, try to hit it softer and aim for the hole." + +Mia felt guilty and hugged dad. She said, "I'm sorry, dad, I love you. Can we play golf again?" + +Dad smiled and hugged Mia.

How does that sound?" + +Ben and Mia cheered and said, "Yes, please, dad, let's go get some ice cream!" + +They picked up the golf sticks and the balls and followed dad to the car. They had a good day playing golf and eating ice cream. They learned how to repeat what dad did and how to say sorry when they made a mistake. They were happy and loved dad very much. +Anna liked to watch the birds in the big birdcage at the park. She wanted to touch them, but they were shy and flew away when she came near. One day, she saw a new bird in the cage. It was yellow and had a long tail. It looked sad and lonely. + +Anna walked slowly to the cage and said, "Hello, bird. What is your name?" The bird did not answer. It just sat on a branch and looked at Anna with big eyes. Anna smiled and said, "Don't be shy. I am Anna. I want to be your friend." + +The bird blinked and tilted its head. It opened its beak and made a soft sound. Anna was happy. She said, "Do you want to play with me? I have a ball and a doll. You can share them with me." The bird nodded and made another sound. It flapped its wings and stretched its neck. + +Anna reached for the cage door and opened it. She said, "Come on, bird. Let's go outside and have fun." The bird hopped off the branch and flew out of the cage. It landed on Anna's shoulder and nuzzled her cheek. Anna giggled and said, "You are so sweet. I will call you Sunny. Come on, Sunny.

They did not like spring or fall, when the weather was not too cold or too hot. + +One day, in spring, they found a broken bike in the park. It was red and shiny, but it had a flat tire and a bent wheel. Tom admired the bike. He wanted to fix it and ride it. He said to Lily, "Look at this bike! It is so cool! I wish it was mine!" + +Lily did not admire the bike. She thought it was old and ugly. She wanted to play with something else. She said to Tom, "This bike is not cool. It is broken. You cannot ride it. Let's go and find some butterflies!" + +Tom and Lily argued about the bike. They did not agree. They did not want to share. They did not want to play together. They were sad and angry. + +Then, they saw a man walking towards them. He had a toolbox and a smile. He said to them, "Hello, kids. I see you found my bike. I left it here because I had to go to the store. I was going to fix it and give it to my nephew. Do you like it?" + +Tom and Lily looked at each other. They felt ashamed. They had been selfish and rude. They said to the man, "We are sorry, sir. We did not know it was your bike. We were fighting over it. We like it, but it is not ours." + +The man laughed. He said to them, "That's okay, kids. I'm glad you like it. Maybe you can help me fix it. Then, you can take turns riding it. What do you say?" + +Tom and Lily nodded. They said to the man, "Yes, please. Thank you, sir. You are very kind." + +They helped the man fix the bike. They learned how to pump the tire and straighten the wheel. They had fun and made a new friend. They also learned to admire each other's likes and dislikes. They realized that every season had something good to offer. They decided to play together more often. They were happy and grateful. +Lily and Ben are playing with blocks. They want to make a big tower. They have many blocks of different colors and shapes. + +"Let's measure how tall our tower is," Lily says. She takes a ruler and puts it next to the tower. "It is ten inches tall. That is very good." + +"I want to make it taller," Ben says. He takes a block and tries to put it on top of the tower. But the block is too big and the tower falls down. "Oh no! Our tower is gone!" + +Lily and Ben are sad. They look at the mess of blocks on the floor. They do not know what to do. + +"Maybe we can try again," Lily says. "But we have to be careful. We have to use blocks that fit well. We do not want them to be too tight or too loose."
