+
+Suddenly, she noticed a colorful bag on the floor. Excited, she ran to pick it up. As she opened it, she saw all kinds of colorful things inside. She was so surprised that she dropped the bag on the mattress and colors filled the room.
+
+"Oh, no!" She exclaimed.
+
+Her Mom heard her and came running. When she saw the colorful mess all over her daughter's bed, she smiled softly. 
+

+
+He asked his friend, a little turtle named Terry, "What is on the page Terry?"
+
+Terry laughed and said,"It's a map! It shows you the way to the other side of the pond. But be careful, the pond is deep and you only have two legs and arms so you have to be careful when you're bouncing around".
+
+Tom was very excited and thanked Terry. He said, "I'll be careful. I promise!"
+
+And so, Tom started bouncing around the pond. He hopped, skipped and even jumped over the deep part of the pond and made it to the other side safely.

+
+He squished it between his fingers and said, "It feel so soft! Can I taste it?" His mother said, "Yes, now you can taste it"!
+
+Tom put the tomato in his mouth and said,"It tastes so yummy! Can I eat more?"  His mother laughed and said, "Yes, but not too much. Some children are poor and don't have enough food to eat".
+
+Tom quickly said, "No worries mom, I will share with them". Tom learned an important lesson. It is better to share our food with those who don't have enough and not to waste it.

They told them that they should never go to places they did not know without asking. They told them that the penguins were not toys, but wild animals that needed respect and space.
+
+Tom and Lily said they were sorry. They learned their lesson. They said they would never do it again. They said they loved their mom and dad. Their mom and dad said they loved them too. They said they were fine, but they needed to go home and rest. They said they would come back to the zoo another day, but only if they stayed together and listened. Tom and Lily agreed. They said goodbye to the zoo and the animals. They hoped the penguins were fine too.
+Timmy and Lily were playing in the garden. They liked to hop like rabbits and make funny noises. They hopped over the flowers, the grass and the stones. They laughed and had fun.
+
+But then they saw a big, hairy dog. The dog was barking and running towards them. It looked angry and scary. Timmy and Lily were afraid. They stopped hopping and ran to the fence. They tried to climb over it, but it was too high.
+
+"Help! Help!" they shouted. "The dog is coming!"
+
+Their mom heard them and came out of the house. She saw the dog and yelled at it. "Go away! Leave my children alone!" She picked up a stick and threw it at the dog. The dog stopped barking and ran away.
+
+Timmy and Lily hugged their mom and thanked her. They were safe and happy. They went inside the house and had some cookies and milk. They did not want to hop in the garden anymore. They liked the silence and the warmth of the house. They decided to play with their toys instead.
+Jack and Jill were twins who liked to play outside. One day, they saw an old man walking with a cane. The cane was shiny and had a big handle. Jack wanted to have the cane, so he whispered to Jill, "Let's steal the cane from the old man. He is slow and weak. We are fast and strong."
+
+Jill was scared and said, "No, Jack, that is bad. The cane helps the old man walk. He needs it. We have many toys. We don't need the cane."
+
+But Jack did not listen to Jill. He ran behind the old man and grabbed the cane. The old man stumbled and fell. He cried out, "Help! Help! Someone stole my cane!"
+
+Jill felt sorry for the old man. She ran to him and helped him up. She said, "I'm sorry, sir. My brother is naughty. He took your cane. I will get it back for you."
+
+She ran after Jack, who was laughing and swinging the cane. She said, "Jack, stop! Give the cane back to the old man. You hurt him. You are mean."
+
+Jack said, "No, Jill, this is my cane now. It is fun. It is mine."
+
+Jill was angry and brave. She grabbed the cane from Jack and pulled it hard. Jack fell and dropped the cane. Jill picked it up and ran back to the old man. She said, "Here, sir, this is your cane. I'm sorry for what my brother did. He is not tough. He is silly."
+
+The old man smiled and thanked Jill. He said, "You are a good girl, Jill. You are kind and honest. You are tough. You are smart."
+
+Jill felt happy and proud. She said, "Thank you, sir. I'm sorry for the trouble. I hope you are okay."
+
+The old man said, "I'm okay, Jill. Don't worry. You and your brother should go home now. And tell your brother to be good. Or else I will use my cane to teach him a lesson."
+
+Jill nodded and took Jack by the hand. She said, "Come on, Jack. Let's go home. And say sorry to the old man."
+
+Jack was ashamed and sorry. He said, "Sorry, sir. I was wrong. I won't steal again."
+
+The old man said, "That's good, Jack. Learn from your sister. She is a good example for you."
+
+Jack and Jill went home and hugged their mom. They told her what happened. Their mom was angry with Jack and proud of Jill. She said, "Jack, you are grounded. You have to stay in your room and think about what you did. Jill, you are a hero. You have to choose a treat from the cookie jar."
+
+Jack and Jill learned a lesson that day. They learned that stealing is bad and helping is good. They learned that being tough is not about being mean, but about being brave and kind. They learned to love and respect each other and other people. They learned to be happy with what they have and not to want what they don't need.
+Tom likes to play with his toy truck. He makes it go fast and loud on the floor. He pretends it is a powerful truck that can do anything. He likes to shake it and make it jump over his blocks.
+
+One day, Tom's mom says it is time for a shower. Tom does not want to stop playing. He says no and runs away. He hides under his bed with his truck. He thinks mom will not find him there.
+
+But mom is smart. She knows where Tom is. She comes to his room and says, "Tom, I have a surprise for you. Come and see." Tom is curious. He likes surprises. He comes out from under the bed and follows mom.
+
+Mom takes him to the bathroom. She shows him a new shower head. It has different colors and shapes. It can make water spray like a rainbow. Mom says, "This is a special shower. It is like your truck. It is powerful and fun. You can shake it and make it change. Do you want to try it?"
+
+Tom is amazed. He thinks the shower is cool. He wants to try it. He says yes and gets in the tub. He shakes the shower head and makes it spray. He laughs and splashes. He has a lot of fun. He forgets about his truck. He thinks the shower is his new favorite toy.
+Tom and Lily were playing in the garden. They had a bow and some arrows that their dad made for them. They liked to pretend they were hunters and shoot at the trees and the flowers.
+
+"Look, Lily, I see a big bird!" Tom said, pointing at the sky. "Let's try to hit it with our arrows!"
+
+"Okay, Tom, but be careful. Don't spoil the bird. It is pretty and sings nice songs," Lily said, picking up an arrow.
+
+They both aimed their bows at the bird and pulled the strings. The arrows flew in the air, but they missed the bird. The bird saw the arrows and flew away, making a loud noise.
+
+"Oops, we scared the bird!" Tom said, feeling sorry.
+
+"Maybe we should not shoot at birds. They are alive and can feel pain," Lily said, feeling sad.
+
+They heard their mom calling them from the house. "Tom, Lily, come inside. It's time for lunch!"
+
+They ran to the house, leaving their bow and arrows in the garden. They did not see the cat that was hiding behind a bush. The cat was alert and hungry. It saw the bow and arrows and thought they were toys. It jumped on them and started to play. It bit the strings and scratched the wood. It spoiled the bow and arrows.
+
+When Tom and Lily came back to the garden after lunch, they saw their bow and arrows ruined by the cat. They were very upset and angry.
+
+"Bad cat! You spoiled our bow and arrows! How can we play now?" Tom shouted, chasing the cat away.
+
+"Tom, Lily, don't be mad. The cat did not know. It was just having fun. I'm sorry your bow and arrows are spoiled. I can help you make new ones," their dad said, coming to the garden.
+
+"Really, dad? You can make new ones?" Lily asked, wiping her tears.
+
+"Sure, I can. And this time, we can make them stronger and better. And maybe we can find something else to shoot at, not birds. How about some cans or balloons?" their dad said, smiling.
+
+"Yay, that sounds fun! Thank you, dad!" Tom and Lily said, hugging their dad.
+
+They went to the garage with their dad and started to make new bow and arrows. They learned how to use different tools and materials. They had a lot of fun and forgot about the spoiled bow and arrows. They were happy.
+Ben and Lily went to the farm with Mom and Dad. They wanted to find a big pumpkin for Halloween. They saw many pumpkins in the field. Some were small, some were big, some were round, some were bumpy.
+
+Ben saw a very big pumpkin. He ran to it and tried to lift it. But it was too heavy for him. He felt angry. He kicked the pumpkin hard. The pumpkin rolled away and hit a scarecrow. The scarecrow fell down and lost its hat.
+
+Lily saw what Ben did. She felt sad. She liked the scarecrow. She ran to it and tried to fix it. But it was too broken for her. She felt helpless. She hugged the scarecrow and cried.
+
+Mom and Dad saw what happened. They came to Ben and Lily. They were not happy. They told Ben that kicking was not nice. They told Lily that crying was not helpful. They said they had to say sorry to the farmer and the scarecrow.
+
+Ben and Lily felt sorry. They said sorry to the farmer and the scarecrow. The farmer was kind. He gave them another pumpkin. He said they could keep the scarecrow's hat. He said they could help him make a new scarecrow.
+
+Ben and Lily felt happy. They thanked the farmer and the scarecrow. They helped him make a new scarecrow. They gave him a smile and a hat. They took their pumpkin home. They carved a face on it. They put a candle inside. They said it was the best pumpkin ever.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big stand with many books on it. The stand has a sign that says "Free Books".
+
+Lily and Ben are curious. They want to see the books. They go to the stand and look at the books. Some books have pictures of animals, some books have stories of princesses and dragons, some books have puzzles and games.
+
+"Wow, look at this book!" Lily says. She picks up a book with a picture of a lion on the cover. "It says 'The Lion King'. Do you know this story?"
+
+"No, I don't," Ben says. He picks up another book with a picture of a boy and a girl on the cover. "It says 'The Cat in the Hat'. Do you know this story?"
+
+"No, I don't," Lily says. "But they look fun. Do you want to read them?"
+
+"Yes, I do," Ben says. "But how can we read them? We don't know how to read."
+
+Lily has an idea. "We can act them!" she says. "We can look at the pictures and make up the words. You can be the boy and I can be the girl. Or you can be the lion and I can be the king. Or we can switch. It will be fun!"
+
+Ben likes the idea. "OK, let's act them!" he says. "But we have to be quiet. We don't want to bother the other people in the park."
+
+Lily and Ben take the books and sit on a bench. They open the books and start to act them. They make funny faces and voices. They laugh and have fun. They act the books until it is time to go home. They put the books back on the stand and say thank you. They are happy. They learned something new. They had a good day.
+Lily and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of fun making noises and pretending to be animals. Lily had a hairy bear that she hugged and Ben had a shiny car that he zoomed around.
+
+"Roar!" Lily said, making her bear talk. "I am a big bear and I am hungry. Do you have any honey for me?"
+
+"Vroom!" Ben said, making his car talk. "I am a fast car and I am thirsty. Do you have any gas for me?"
+
+Lily and Ben looked at each other and laughed. They did not understand how a bear could eat honey or a car could drink gas. They knew that bears and cars were not real, but toys.
+
+Just then, their mom called them from the kitchen. "Lily and Ben, it's time for lunch. Come and wash your hands."
+
+Lily and Ben put down their toys and ran to the kitchen. They smelled something yummy. Their mom had made them sandwiches and fruit. They sat down at the table and thanked their mom.
+
+"Mom, can we ask you something?" Lily said.
+
+"Sure, what is it?" their mom said.
+
+"How do bears eat honey and cars drink gas?" Ben said.
+
+Their mom smiled and explained to them that bears like honey because it is sweet and cars need gas because it makes them go. She told them that honey and gas are different kinds of food for different kinds of things.
+
+Lily and Ben nodded and said they understood. They ate their lunch and enjoyed it. They thought their mom was very smart and kind. They loved their mom, their toys, and each other.
+Sara was very scared. She had to go to the hospital and get an x-ray. She hurt her arm when she fell from the swing. She cried and hugged her mom.
+
+"Mom, I don't want to go. It will hurt. I don't like the big machine. It makes a loud noise."
+
+Her mom smiled and kissed her head. She said, "Don't worry, my sweetie. The x-ray will not hurt. It will help the doctor see your arm and make it better. The big machine is just a camera. It takes a picture of your bones. The loud noise is just a beep. It tells us when the picture is done."
+
+Sara looked at her mom. She still felt scared, but she trusted her mom. She said, "Okay, mom. I will try to be brave. But can you hold my hand?"
+
+Her mom nodded and said, "Of course, I will hold your hand. I will be with you all the time. You are not alone. You are very strong and brave. I am proud of you."
+
+They walked to the x-ray room. The nurse was very nice. She gave Sara a sticker and a teddy bear. She said, "Hi, Sara. I am here to help you. You can hold your teddy bear and your mom's hand. I will put a special apron on you to protect you. Then I will ask you to lie down on this table and stay still for a few seconds. That's when the x-ray will take the picture. Can you do that for me?"
+
+Sara nodded. She felt a little better. She said, "Yes, I can do that. Thank you for the sticker and the teddy bear. They are very cute."
+
+The nurse smiled and said, "You are very welcome. You are a very good girl. You are ready for the x-ray. Are you ready to count with me?"
+
+Sara said, "Yes, I am ready to count with you."
+
+The nurse said, "Okay, let's count together. One, two, three, beep!"
+
+Sara heard the beep and saw the flash. She did not move. She did not cry. She did it!
+
+The nurse said, "You did it, Sara! You did a great job! The x-ray is done. You can get up now and hug your mom. The doctor will look at your picture and tell you what to do next. You are very brave and strong. I am proud of you."
+
+Sara got up and hugged her mom. She said, "Mom, I did it! I was not scared. The x-ray was easy. The nurse was nice. The teddy bear was soft. I am brave and strong. I am proud of me."
+
+Her mom hugged her back and said, "I am proud of you, too, Sara. You are brave and strong. You are my hero. I love you."
+
+Sara smiled and said, "I love you, too, mom. Thank you for being with me. Thank you for encouraging me. You are my hero, too."
+
+The moral of the story is: Sometimes we have to do things that scare us, but we can overcome our fears with the help of our loved ones and the people who care for us. They can encourage us and make us feel safe and loved. We are not helpless. We are brave and strong.
+Ben and Mia were twins who loved to play outside. They liked to dig in the dirt, splash in the puddles, and chase the birds. They did not like to wash their hands or faces before they ate. They thought it was a waste of time.
+
+One day, their mom made a special dessert for them. It was a big cake with chocolate and sprinkles. She put it on the table and called them inside. "Ben, Mia, come and see what I have for you!" she said.
+
+Ben and Mia ran to the kitchen, but they stopped when they saw the cake. It looked so yummy, but they also saw their mom's face. She looked angry and sad. "What is this?" she asked, pointing at their hands and faces. "You are filthy! How can you eat cake when you are so dirty?"
+
+Ben and Mia looked at each other. They knew they had done something wrong. They wanted to eat the cake, but they also wanted to make their mom happy. They did not know what to say.
+
+"Mom, we are sorry," Ben said. "We were having fun outside. We forgot to wash."
+
+"Mom, we love you," Mia said. "We love your cake. Can we please have some?"
+
+Their mom sighed. She loved her twins, but she also wanted them to be clean and healthy. She decided to give them a chance. "Okay," she said. "But you have to do something first. You have to go to the bathroom and wash your hands and faces with soap and water. Then you can have some cake. But only if you promise to wash every time before you eat. Do you understand?"
+
+Ben and Mia nodded. They ran to the bathroom and did what their mom said. They scrubbed their hands and faces until they were shiny and clean. Then they ran back to the kitchen and hugged their mom. "Thank you, mom," they said. "You are the best. You provide us with everything we need. And we provide you with hugs and kisses."
+
+Their mom smiled and cut them a big slice of cake. They ate it with joy and thanked their mom again. They learned their lesson and never forgot to wash before they ate. And they always enjoyed their mom's desserts.
+Sam liked to play with his drum. He liked to make loud noises and bang on it with his sticks. He had a red drum with yellow stars on it. It was his favorite toy.
+
+One day, he went to the park with his mom. He saw an elderly man sitting on a bench. The man had a guitar and was playing songs. Sam liked the songs and wanted to join in. He ran to the man and said, "Hello, can I play with you?"
+
+The man smiled and said, "Sure, you can play with me. Do you have an instrument?"
+
+Sam nodded and showed him his drum. The man said, "That's a nice drum. Can you lend it to me for a minute? I want to try it."
+
+Sam was happy and said, "Okay, you can lend it. But be careful, it's my favorite toy."
+
+The man took the drum and thanked Sam. He started to play it with his guitar. He made a lot of noise and sang loudly. Sam clapped and danced along.
+
+But then, the man did something bad. He got up and ran away with the drum. He stole Sam's drum and did not give it back. Sam was shocked and sad. He cried and shouted, "Hey, that's my drum! Give it back!"
+
+But the man was too fast and disappeared. Sam's mom came and hugged him. She said, "I'm sorry, Sam. That was a bad man. He took your drum and did not share. He was very mean and rude."
+
+Sam sobbed and said, "I want my drum back. I liked my drum. It was my favorite toy."
+
+His mom said, "I know, Sam. I'm sorry. Maybe we can find another drum for you. But you have to be careful who you lend your toys to. Some people are not nice and do not care about you."
+
+Sam nodded and said, "Okay, mom. I will be careful. But I still miss my drum."
+Lila and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to pretend they were detectives and solve mysteries. They had a magnifying glass, a notebook and a hat.
+
+"Look, Tom, what is that?" Lila pointed to a distant hill. She saw something shiny on top of it.
+
+Tom looked through the magnifying glass. "I don't know, Lila. Maybe it's a treasure. Do you want to go and see?"
+
+Lila nodded. She was curious and brave. She took Tom's hand and they ran towards the hill.
+
+As they got closer, they saw that the shiny thing was a big balloon. It had many colors and a string. It looked like someone had lost it.
+
+"Wow, it's so pretty!" Lila said. She reached for the string.
+
+"Wait, Lila, be careful!" Tom said. He heard a loud noise. He saw a big dog running towards them. It was barking and growling.
+
+Lila and Tom were scared. They dropped the magnifying glass, the notebook and the hat. They ran away from the dog and the balloon.
+
+They hid behind a tree and hugged each other. They were safe.
+
+"Maybe that was the mystery, Tom. Maybe the dog wanted the balloon," Lila said.
+
+"Maybe, Lila. But I don't think we should go back there. Let's go home and tell mom and dad," Tom said.
+
+Lila nodded. She agreed with Tom. They had enough adventure for one day. They picked up their things and walked back to the park. They still liked to pretend they were detectives, but they decided to solve smaller mysteries next time.
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys in the living room. One day, they find a new toy in a box. It is a big dinosaur with sharp teeth.
+
+"Wow, look at this!" Lily says. "It is a dinosaur. It can roar and bite."
+
+"Let me see, let me see!" Ben says. He tries to grab the dinosaur from Lily. Lily does not want to share. She holds the dinosaur tight.
+
+"No, it is mine!" Lily shouts. "You have your own toys. Go away!"
+
+Ben is angry. He shouts back. "No, it is ours! We have to share. Give it to me!"
+
+They pull and tug on the dinosaur. They make a lot of noise. They do not hear their mom coming.
+
+"Hey, what is going on here?" Mom says. She sees Lily and Ben fighting over the dinosaur. She is not happy. She takes the dinosaur from them.
+
+"Stop it, you two!" Mom says. "You are being very rude and loud. You have to learn to share and play nicely. Or else, no more toys for you."
+
+Lily and Ben feel sorry. They say sorry to Mom and to each other. They hug and make up.
+
+"Can we have the dinosaur back, please?" Lily asks.
+
+"Only if you promise to share and take turns," Mom says.
+
+"We promise, we promise," Ben says.
+
+Mom gives them the dinosaur back. They thank her and smile.
+
+They play with the dinosaur together. They make it roar and bite. They pretend it is eating tasty leaves and fruits. They have fun and laugh. They are happy.
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play in the living room. They have many toys and books. But sometimes they get bored of their toys and books.
+
+One day, they see a newspaper on the table. They do not know what a newspaper is. They think it is a big paper with many pictures and words. They want to look at the pictures and words.
+
+They take the newspaper and sit on the floor. They open the newspaper and see many things. They see a light house, a light car, a light cake, and a light dog. They point at the things and say their names.
+
+"Look, Lily, a light house!" Ben says.
+
+"Wow, a light house! And a light car!" Lily says.
+
+They turn the page and see more things. They see a dark tree, a dark hat, a dark cat, and a dark fish. They point at the things and say their names.
+
+"Look, Ben, a dark tree!" Lily says.
+
+"Wow, a dark tree! And a dark hat!" Ben says.
+
+They turn the page and see something else. They see a big mouth with big teeth. The mouth is eating the newspaper. They do not know what the mouth is. They think it is a scary monster. They are afraid of the monster.
+
+"Look, Lily, a monster!" Ben says.
+
+"Wow, a monster! It is eating the newspaper!" Lily says.
+
+They scream and drop the newspaper. They run to their mom and dad. They tell them about the monster.
+
+"Mom, Dad, there is a monster in the newspaper!" Ben says.
+
+"It is eating the newspaper!" Lily says.
+
+Mom and Dad look at the newspaper. They see the monster. They laugh and hug Lily and Ben.
+
+"It is not a monster, Lily and Ben. It is a crocodile. A crocodile is an animal that lives in the water. It has a big mouth and big teeth. It likes to eat meat and fish. It does not eat newspapers. The newspaper is just a joke. It is a funny picture." Mom says.
+
+"A crocodile? A joke? A funny picture?" Lily and Ben say.
+
+"Yes, a crocodile, a joke, a funny picture. Do you want to see more funny pictures?" Dad says.
+
+"Yes, yes, yes!" Lily and Ben say.
+
+Mom and Dad take Lily and Ben to the couch. They show them more funny pictures in the newspaper. They see a cow wearing glasses, a pig wearing a dress, a duck wearing a hat, and a rabbit wearing shoes. They laugh and have fun. They forget about the scary monster. They like the newspaper.
+Tom and Sue were playing in the park. They saw a big pond with many ducks. Tom liked the ducks. He wanted to feed them. He had some bread in his bag.
+
+"Can I give some bread to the ducks?" he asked Sue.
+
+"Okay, but be careful. Don't go too close to the water. It is deep and wet," Sue said.
+
+Tom nodded. He took some bread and walked to the edge of the pond. He saw a big duck with a long neck and a funny beak. It was not like the other ducks. It was ugly.
+
+"Hello, ugly duck," Tom said. He threw some bread to the duck. The duck ate the bread and made a loud noise.
+
+"Quack, quack, quack!" the duck said.
+
+Tom laughed. He threw more bread to the duck. The duck ate more bread and made more noise.
+
+"Quack, quack, quack!" the duck said.
+
+Sue watched Tom and the duck. She thought the duck was not a duck. She thought it was something else. She remembered a book she read with her mom. It had a picture of an ugly duck that became a beautiful swan.
+
+"Tom, I think that duck is not a duck. I think it is a swan," she said.
+
+Tom looked at Sue. He looked at the duck. He realized she was right. The duck was a swan. It had white feathers and a long neck and a funny beak. It was not ugly. It was pretty.
+
+"Wow, you are right, Sue. It is a swan. It is not a duck. It is not ugly. It is pretty," he said.
+
+He smiled at the swan. The swan smiled back. It made a soft noise.
+
+"Honk, honk, honk!" the swan said.
+
+Tom and Sue were happy. They had made a new friend. They gave more bread to the swan. The swan ate more bread and made more noise.
+
+"Honk, honk, honk!" the swan said.
+Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play in their room. They had many toys and books, but they also liked to look at the vase on the shelf. The vase was big and shiny, with flowers and birds on it. It was a gift from their grandma, who was very generous and kind.
+
+One day, when their mom was busy in the kitchen, Anna and Ben decided to play with the vase. They climbed on a chair and reached for the shelf. They took the vase and put it on the floor. They pretended it was a castle, a spaceship, a drum. They had a lot of fun, but they also made a lot of noise.
+
+"Anna, Ben, what are you doing?" their mom asked from the door. She saw the vase on the floor and gasped. "That's grandma's vase! It's very precious and fragile! You shouldn't touch it!"
+
+Anna and Ben felt scared and sorry. They knew they had done something wrong. They quickly picked up the vase and put it back on the shelf. They hoped their mom wouldn't be too angry.
+
+But as they did, they heard a crack. The vase had a big crack on the side. It was broken. Anna and Ben started to cry. They hugged each other and said, "We're sorry, mom. We're sorry, grandma. We didn't mean to break the vase."
+
+Their mom was sad and disappointed, but she also loved her children. She hugged them and said, "I know you didn't mean to break the vase, but you should have listened to me. The vase was not a toy. It was a special gift from grandma, who loves you very much. She gave it to us because she wanted us to enjoy its beauty and remember her. Now the vase is broken, and we can't fix it."
+
+Anna and Ben felt very bad. They wished they could fix the vase and make their mom and grandma happy. They thought of a way to say sorry. They went to their room and drew a picture of the vase with flowers and birds. They wrote, "We love you, mom. We love you, grandma. We're sorry for breaking the vase. Please forgive us."
+
+They gave the picture to their mom and asked her to give it to grandma. Their mom smiled and said, "That's very sweet of you. I'm sure grandma will appreciate your picture and your apology. She loves you, too. And I love you, too. But next time, please don't touch the vase. And if you want to play with something, ask me first. OK?"
+
+Anna and Ben nodded and said, "OK, mom. We promise. We won't touch the vase again. And we'll ask you before we play with something."
+
+Their mom kissed them and said, "Good. Now, let's go to the kitchen and have some cookies. And then, we'll call grandma and tell her what happened. Maybe she'll have a story to tell us about the vase. How does that sound?"
+
+Anna and Ben smiled and said, "That sounds good, mom. Thank you. We love you."
+
+They followed their mom to the kitchen, holding hands. They learned a lesson that day. They learned to respect other people's things, to listen to their mom, and to say sorry when they make a mistake. They also learned that their mom and grandma were generous and forgiving, and that they loved them no matter what.
+Lila and Ben were playing in the snow. They made a big snowman with a hat, a scarf and a carrot nose. They gave him a name: Frosty.
+
+"Hello, Frosty!" Lila said. "You are our friend."
+
+"Yes, you are," Ben agreed. "You have a happy face."
+
+But then the sun came out and it was very warm. The snow started to melt. Frosty's hat fell off. His scarf got wet. His nose dropped.
+
+"Oh no!" Lila cried. "Frosty is melting!"
+
+"We have to save him!" Ben said. "Let's move him to a shady place."
+
+They tried to push Frosty, but he was too heavy. They asked for help from their dog, Spot. Spot was a fierce dog, but he was also kind. He barked and ran to Frosty. He bit his scarf and pulled him.
+
+"Good boy, Spot!" Lila and Ben cheered. "You are a hero!"
+
+They moved Frosty to a shady place under a big tree. They fixed his hat, his scarf and his nose. They hugged him and thanked him.
+
+"Thank you, Frosty," Lila said. "You are a brave snowman."
+
+"Thank you, Spot," Ben said. "You are a loyal dog."
+
+Frosty smiled. He felt a warm spirit in his cold body. He was happy to have such good friends. He hoped the sun would not melt him too soon. He wanted to play with them again.
+Ben and Mia liked to spin around in the park. They spun so fast that they felt dizzy and happy. They spun until they fell on the grass and laughed.
+
+One day, they saw a new boy in the park. He had a big hat and a funny accent. He said his name was Leo and he came from another country. Ben and Mia wanted to play with him, but they did not know what to say.
+
+"Can you spin with us?" Mia asked.
+
+"Spin? What is spin?" Leo asked.
+
+"Spin is when you turn around and around, like this!" Ben showed him.
+
+Leo tried to spin, but he felt sick and scared. He stopped and said, "No, no, I don't like spin. Spin is bad. In my country, we don't spin. We only walk and run."
+
+Ben and Mia felt sorry for Leo. They wanted to make him happy. They thought of something else to do.
+
+"Do you like candy?" Ben asked.
+
+"Candy? What is candy?" Leo asked.
+
+"Candy is something sweet and yummy, like this!" Mia gave him a piece of candy.
+
+Leo put the candy in his mouth, but he made a face. He spit it out and said, "No, no, I don't like candy. Candy is sour. In my country, we don't eat candy. We only eat bread and cheese."
+
+Ben and Mia felt sad for Leo. They wanted to share with him. They thought of something else to give him.
+
+"Do you like flowers?" Mia asked.
+
+"Flowers? What are flowers?" Leo asked.
+
+"Flowers are something pretty and colorful, like this!" Ben picked a flower and gave it to him.
+
+Leo looked at the flower, but he did not smile. He threw it away and said, "No, no, I don't like flowers. Flowers are useless. In my country, we don't have flowers. We only have rocks and dirt."
+
+Ben and Mia felt angry with Leo. They wanted to be friends with him, but he did not like anything. They decided to leave him alone.
+
+"Come on, Mia, let's go spin some more. Maybe he will learn to like it someday." Ben said.
+
+"OK, Ben, let's go. Maybe he will find something he likes someday." Mia said.
+
+They ran away and spun and spun, while Leo sat on a bench and looked bored.
+
+The moral of the story is: You should try new things and be open to different cultures. You might find something you enjoy and make new friends.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the park with their rubber balls. They liked to bounce them on the grass and catch them in the air. But then it started to rain. The rain was cold and wet and made them sad.
+
+"Let's go home, Lily," Ben said. "We can play with our balls inside."
+
+"OK, Ben," Lily said. "But we have to dry our balls first. They are wet and dirty."
+
+They ran to their house and went inside. They saw their mom in the kitchen. She was making cookies.
+
+"Hi, kids," mom said. "Did you have fun in the park?"
+
+"Yes, mom, but it rained," Lily said. "Can we dry our balls, please?"
+
+"Sure, honey," mom said. "You can use this towel. It is soft and warm."
+
+Lily and Ben took the towel and rubbed their balls with it. They made them dry and clean. They smelled the cookies and smiled.
+
+"Mom, can we have some cookies, please?" Ben asked.
+
+"Of course, sweetie," mom said. "But first, I have a surprise for you. Look what I found in the attic."
+
+She showed them a big book. It had a brown cover and yellow pages. It had pictures and words in it.
+
+"This is an ancient book," mom said. "It is very old and special. It tells stories about dragons and fairies and magic. Do you want to hear one?"
+
+"Yes, mom, yes!" Lily and Ben said. They put their balls on the floor and sat on the couch. They cuddled with mom and opened the book. They listened to her voice and looked at the pictures. They felt happy and curious. They forgot about the rain.
+Tom is a big boy. He is three years old. He likes to play with his toys and his dog. He has a new toy. It is a scale. He can weigh things with it. He puts his toys on the scale and sees the numbers.
+
+One day, Tom sees a bird on the window. The bird is small and brown. It has a yellow beak and black eyes. It sings a song. Tom likes the bird. He wants to weigh it. He opens the window and calls the bird. The bird flies to him. Tom is happy.
+
+He puts the bird on the scale. The bird is very light. It weighs less than his toy car. Tom smiles. He thinks the bird is cute. He wants to keep it. He puts the bird in a box. He gives the bird some seeds and water. He thinks the bird is his new friend.
+
+But the bird is not happy. It does not like the box. It wants to fly and sing. It misses its family and friends. It does not want to be Tom's toy. It wants to be free. It wants to live its life.
+
+The bird pecks the box. It makes a hole. It escapes from the box. It flies to the window. It sees the sky and the trees. It feels the wind and the sun. It hears the other birds. It joins them. It sings a song of joy.
+
+Tom sees the bird fly away. He is sad. He cries. He wants the bird back. He does not understand why the bird left. He thinks the bird does not like him. He thinks he did something wrong.
+
+His mom sees him cry. She hugs him. She tells him the bird is not a toy. It is a living thing. It has feelings and needs. It belongs to the wild. It is not happy in a box. She tells him he can still watch the bird from the window. He can still listen to its song. He can still love it. But he has to let it go. She tells him he did nothing wrong. He was just curious. She tells him he is a good boy. She kisses him.
+
+Tom feels better. He understands. He wipes his tears. He looks at the window. He sees the bird. The bird sees him. The bird sings a song. Tom sings along. He smiles. He knows the bird is his new friend. But he also knows the bird has its own life. He is happy for the bird. He is happy for himself. He learns something new. He grows a little. He is a big boy.
+Lily and Ben are young. They like to play with cars and trucks. They have many cars and trucks in their room. They make roads and bridges with blocks and books.
+
+One day, Lily and Ben want to order pizza for lunch. They ask their mom to call the pizza place. Their mom says yes, but they have to help her clean their room first. Lily and Ben say okay. They put their cars and trucks in a big box. They stack their blocks and books on a shelf. They make their bed and pick up their clothes.
+
+Their mom is happy. She calls the pizza place and orders cheese pizza and juice. She tells Lily and Ben to wash their hands and wait for the pizza. Lily and Ben are hungry. They run to the bathroom and wash their hands. They sit on the couch and watch TV.
+
+Soon, the doorbell rings. It is the pizza man. He has a big bag with pizza and juice. He gives the bag to their mom. He says hello to Lily and Ben. He sees their cars and trucks in the box. He says he likes cars and trucks too. He says he has a big truck with four tires. He says he drives his truck to deliver pizza.
+
+Lily and Ben are curious. They ask the pizza man if they can see his truck. The pizza man says yes, but only for a minute. He takes them outside and shows them his truck. It is red and shiny. It has four big tires and a sign that says pizza. Lily and Ben think it is cool. They say thank you to the pizza man. They go back inside with their mom.
+
+Their mom gives them plates and napkins. She opens the bag and takes out the pizza and juice. She cuts the pizza into slices and pours the juice into cups. She says bon appetit to Lily and Ben.

+Lily and Tom were twins who liked to play in the house. One day, they saw a fireplace in the living room. It was cold outside, so they wanted to make a fire. They found some wood and matches in a box.
+
+"Let's go and make a fire," Tom said. "It will be warm and fun."
+
+"No, Tom, we can't," Lily said. "Mom and Dad said fire is dangerous. We should wait for them to come back."
+
+But Tom did not listen to Lily. He was curious and stubborn. He took some wood and matches and went to the fireplace. He put the wood inside and lit a match.
+
+"Look, Lily, I made a fire," Tom said. "It is useful and pretty. Come and see."
+
+Lily was scared and angry. She ran to Tom and tried to stop him. But it was too late. The fire was too big and strong. It jumped out of the fireplace and caught the curtains. The curtains burned and made more fire. The fire spread to the sofa and the carpet. The house was full of smoke and flames.
+
+"Help, help!" Lily and Tom cried. "We are sorry, we are sorry!"
+
+But no one heard them. Mom and Dad were not home. The neighbors were not home. The firemen were not near. Lily and Tom were trapped in the fire. They hugged each other and cried. They wished they had listened to Lily. They wished they had not played with fire.
+
+The moral of the story is: Fire is dangerous and not a toy. You should always listen to your parents and follow the rules. If you do not, you may get hurt or worse.
+Lily and Max were playing in the park with their mom. They saw a big cooler under a tree. They were curious and wanted to see what was inside.
+
+"Mom, can we look in the cooler?" Lily asked.
+
+"Sure, but be careful. It might belong to someone else," Mom said.
+
+Lily and Max ran to the cooler and opened it. They saw many yummy things: sandwiches, fruits, juice, cookies. They felt hungry and wanted to try some.
+
+"Wow, this looks delicious!" Max said.
+
+"Can we have some, Mom?" Lily asked.
+
+Mom came over and looked at the cooler. She saw a note on top of it. It said: "To the park staff, thank you for your hard work. Enjoy this picnic from the grateful visitors."
+
+Mom smiled and said, "This cooler is a gift for the people who take care of the park. It is not for us. We have our own snacks in our backpack."
+
+Lily and Max felt sorry. They did not want to take someone else's food. They closed the cooler and put the note back.
+
+"Mom, we are sorry. We did not know," Lily said.
+
+"It's okay. You did not mean to be rude. You were just curious. But now you know, and you can solve this problem. How can you make it up to the park staff?" Mom asked.
+
+Lily and Max thought for a moment. Then they had an idea.
+
+"We can make them a thank you card. And we can help them clean the park. And we can share our snacks with them," Max said.
+
+"That sounds like a great plan. Let's do it," Mom said.
+
+Lily and Max were happy. They learned to respect other people's things. They also made some new friends at the park. They had a fun and delicious day.
+Sara and Ben are twins. They like to play together. Sometimes they play with dolls, sometimes they play with cars, sometimes they play with blocks. But today they want to do something different. They want to relax.
+
+They go to their mom and ask her, "Mom, can we relax?"
+
+Mom smiles and says, "Sure, you can relax. What do you want to do?"
+
+Sara and Ben think for a moment. Then they say, "We want to make masks!"
+
+Mom nods and says, "Okay, that sounds fun. I have some paper, scissors, glue, and crayons. You can use them to make your masks. But be careful with the scissors, okay?"
+
+Sara and Ben say, "Okay, mom. Thank you!"
+
+They take the paper, scissors, glue, and crayons and go to their room. They sit on the floor and start to make their masks. Sara makes a mask of a cat. She cuts out two ears, a nose, and whiskers. She glues them on the paper and colors them with crayons. Ben makes a mask of a robot. He cuts out a square, two circles, and a mouth. He glues them on the paper and colors them with crayons.
+
+They put on their masks and look at each other. They giggle and say, "You look funny!"
+
+They pretend to be a cat and a robot. They make noises and move around. They have a lot of fun.
+
+After a while, they get tired. They take off their masks and lie down on their bed. They look at the ceiling and feel peaceful. They close their eyes and relax. They fall asleep.
+
+Mom comes to their room and sees them sleeping. She smiles and says, "They are so cute!"
+
+She covers them with a blanket and kisses them. She turns off the light and leaves them to dream.
+Lila and Ben are friends. They like to play with blocks. They want to build a big tower. They plan how to do it. They put thick blocks at the bottom. They put smaller blocks on top. They are careful and happy.
+
+But Tom is not nice. He wants to break their tower. He waits for them to look away. He runs and pushes their tower. It falls down. He laughs and says, "Ha ha, I win!"
+
+Lila and Ben are sad and angry. They do not like Tom. They want to have victory. They plan again. They build another tower. But this time, they have a trick. They put a sticky block on top. They pretend to look away. They wait for Tom to come.
+
+Tom sees their tower. He thinks he can break it again. He runs and tries to push their tower. But he cannot. His hand is stuck to the sticky block. He cannot move. He says, "Help, help, let me go!"
+
+Lila and Ben smile and say, "No, no, you lose!" They have victory. They are proud and happy. They hug and play with their tower. They do not care about Tom. He is silly and mean. They are friends and smart. They have fun.
+Mia and Leo were friends. They liked to play together. One day, Mia's mom said, "Mia, we are going to a party. It is for your cousin Lily. She is four years old today."
+
+Mia was happy. She liked parties. She asked, "Can Leo come too?"
+
+Mia's mom said, "Yes, he can. But he has to ask his mom first."
+
+Mia ran to Leo's house. She knocked on the door. Leo's mom opened it. She smiled and said, "Hello, Mia. What can I do for you?"
+
+Mia said, "Leo, can you come to a party with me? It is for my cousin Lily. She is four years old today."
+
+Leo said, "Yes, I want to come. Can I, mom?"
+
+Leo's mom said, "Sure, you can. But you have to wear your nice clothes. And you have to be polite and share."
+
+Leo said, "OK, mom. I will."
+
+Mia and Leo went to the party. It was at Lily's house. There were balloons and cake and games. Mia and Leo had fun. They played with Lily and her friends. They ate cake and ice cream. They sang happy birthday.

+The party was mild. It was not too loud or too wild. Mia and Leo liked it. They felt they belonged there. They were happy. They thanked Lily and her mom for inviting them. They said goodbye to their friends. They went home with their moms. They hugged and said, "See you tomorrow." They were tired but happy. They had a good day.
+Tom and Anna are brother and sister. They like to play in their room with their toys. But sometimes Tom is naughty and he disturbs Anna. He takes her dolls and throws them on the floor. He makes loud noises and laughs. Anna does not like that. She tells him to stop and leave her alone.
+
+One day, Mom tells them to stay in their room and be quiet. She has to work on her computer and she needs clear space and no noise. Tom and Anna say okay and go to their room. Anna wants to play with her dolls and Tom wants to play with his cars. But Tom gets bored and he decides to disturb Anna again. He grabs her dolls and runs away with them. He says, "Ha ha, I have your dolls, you can't catch me!"
+
+Anna gets angry and chases him. She says, "Give me back my dolls, you are mean!" They run around the room and knock over their toys and books. They make a big mess and a lot of noise. Mom hears them and comes to their room. She sees the mess and the noise and she is very upset. She says, "What are you doing? You did not listen to me! You did not stay in your room and be quiet! You disturbed me and your sister! You are in big trouble!"
+
+She takes away their toys and sends them to bed. She says, "You have to stay in your bed and think about what you did. You can't play with your toys until you say sorry and clean up your room. And you can't watch TV or have dessert tonight. You are very naughty!"
+
+Tom and Anna are sad and sorry. They wish they had listened to Mom and not disturbed each other. They have no toys, no TV, no dessert and no fun. They have a bad ending.
+Lily and Tom were going on a big trip with their mom and dad. They were very happy and excited. They packed their bags and toys and got in the car. Mom and dad said they had to go to a place where they would get a passport. A passport is a book with your name and picture that lets you go to other places.
+
+When they got to the place, they saw a lot of people waiting in a line. Mom and dad said they had to wait too. Lily and Tom were bored and tired. They wanted to play and run. They saw a sign on the wall that had a lot of words and pictures. They did not know what it said, but they liked the pictures. They wanted to touch the sign.
+
+Lily and Tom got out of the line and ran to the sign. They reached for the sign and pulled it. The sign was not strong. It broke and fell on the floor. It made a loud noise. Everyone looked at Lily and Tom. They were scared and sad. Mom and dad came and saw what they did. They were angry and sad too. They said sorry to the people and picked up the sign. They said Lily and Tom were very bad and naughty. They said they had to pay for the sign and maybe they could not get a passport now.
+
+Lily and Tom felt very ashamed. They knew they did something wrong. They wished they had listened to mom and dad and stayed in the line. They said sorry to mom and dad and hugged them. They said they would not do it again. Mom and dad said they loved them, but they had to learn to be good and respectful. They said they were lucky that the people were nice and let them get a passport anyway. They said they hoped Lily and Tom would behave better on the trip.
+
+Lily and Tom learned their lesson. They said thank you to the people and got their passport. They were happy and excited again. They promised to be good and respectful on the trip. They also learned to not touch things that are not theirs and to read signs before they touch them. They had a lot of fun on the trip and saw many new things. They were proud of their passport and showed it to their friends when they came back. They also said sorry to the sign and hoped it was fixed.
+Sara was a girl who liked to go out and meet new things. She wanted to see the world and have fun. One day, she saw a big bus that was going to the city. She thought the city would be fine and full of wonders. She did not tell her mom or dad where she was going. She just ran to the bus and got on.
+
+The bus was loud and crowded. Sara did not know anyone on the bus. She felt scared and alone. She tried to find a seat, but no one let her sit. She asked a lady, "Can I sit here, please?" The lady said, "No, go away, you little brat. This is my seat." Sara felt sad and hurt. She looked for another seat, but there was none.
+
+The bus stopped at the city. Sara got off the bus and looked around. She saw many big buildings and cars and people. She did not see any trees or flowers or animals. She did not hear any birds or laughter or music. She only heard horns and sirens and shouts. She felt lost and confused. She wanted to go back home, but she did not know how.
+
+She walked on the street, hoping to find someone who could help her. She saw a man who looked kind and friendly. He had a big smile and a red hat. He said, "Hello, little girl. What are you doing here? Do you need help?" Sara felt happy and relieved. She said, "Yes, please. I want to go home. I came on a bus, but I don't know where it is. Can you take me there?" The man said, "Sure, I can. Come with me. I have a car. I will take you home." Sara trusted the man and followed him.
+
+The man did not take Sara to the bus. He took her to a dark and dirty place. He locked the door and said, "You are not going home. You are staying with me. You are my toy. I will do whatever I want with you. And if you scream or cry, I will hurt you." Sara felt terrified and helpless. She wished she had never left her home. She wished she had never met the man. She wished she had never seen the world. She wished she could die.
+Tom and Sue were playing with their toys in the living room. Tom had a laser that made red lights and sounds. Sue had a doll that could talk and sing. They were having fun, but they also wanted to see what the other had.
+
+"Can I try your laser?" Sue asked Tom.
+
+"OK, but be careful. It is very bright and loud," Tom said. He gave Sue his laser and took her doll.
+
+Sue was curious about the laser. She pressed the button and saw a red light on the wall. She liked it. She pressed the button again and again. She moved the laser around and made shapes with the light.
+
+Tom was curious about the doll. He pressed the button on its belly and heard it say "I love you". He liked it. He pressed the button again and again. He hugged the doll and made it sing.
+
+But then, something went wrong. Sue pressed the button too hard and the laser started to increase. The light became bigger and brighter. The sound became louder and louder. It hurt Sue's eyes and ears. She dropped the laser and cried.
+
+Tom heard Sue's cry and saw the laser increase. He was scared. He dropped the doll and ran to Sue. He tried to turn off the laser, but he couldn't. The laser was too hot and strong. It burned the carpet and the sofa. It made a hole in the wall. It set off the fire alarm.
+
+Mom and Dad heard the fire alarm and smelled the smoke. They ran to the living room and saw the laser increase. They were angry and worried. They grabbed Tom and Sue and took them outside. They called the firemen and the police.
+
+Tom and Sue were sorry and sad. They had broken their toys and their house. They had made a big mess and a big trouble. They hugged Mom and Dad and said "We are sorry. We were curious. We won't do it again."
+Ben and Lily like to cook with Mom. They help her chop, stir and taste the food. Mom says they are good helpers. But sometimes they are competitive. They want to do more than the other.
+
+One day, Mom is making soup. She gives Ben and Lily some herbs to add to the pot. Ben has parsley and Lily has basil. They both smell good. Ben and Lily run to the pot with their herbs. They want to add them first.
+
+"Me first!" Ben says. He tries to put his parsley in the pot.
+
+"No, me first!" Lily says. She tries to put her basil in the pot.
+
+They both push and pull. The herbs fall on the floor. The pot tips over. The soup spills everywhere. Mom is not happy.
+
+"Ben and Lily, what are you doing?" Mom says. "You made a big mess. You have to share and take turns. Cooking is not a competition. It is fun."
+
+Ben and Lily feel sorry. They say sorry to Mom. They help her clean up the mess. They hug her and say they love her. Mom smiles and hugs them back. She says she loves them too.
+
+She gives them new herbs to add to the pot. This time, they do it nicely. They take turns and say please and thank you. The soup smells good again. They are happy. They are not competitive anymore. They are good helpers.
+Ben and Mia were playing in the garden. They liked to dig holes and find bugs. They had a big jar to keep the bugs in. They wanted to provide a nice home for them.
+
+But then they heard a loud noise. It was their dog, Rex. Rex liked to chase bugs. He saw the jar and ran towards it. He wanted to play with the bugs too.
+
+"Stop, Rex!" Ben shouted. "Those are our bugs!"
+
+But Rex did not stop. He knocked over the jar and the bugs came out. They ran and flew in all directions. Rex tried to catch them with his mouth and paws.
+
+"Help, Mia!" Ben said. "We have to save the bugs!"
+
+Mia grabbed a net and ran after the bugs. She tried to catch them and put them back in the jar. Ben helped her too. They worked fast and hard.
+
+But some bugs were too quick or too small. They found an escape. They went under the fence or into the bushes. They did not want to be in the jar anymore.
+
+Ben and Mia felt sad. They had lost some of their bugs. They looked at the jar. It was not full anymore.
+
+"Sorry, bugs," Mia said. "We did not mean to scare you."
+
+They put the jar in a dark corner of the garden. They hoped the bugs would be happy there. They hoped Rex would not find them again. They went inside to have a snack. They decided to play with something else.
+Lily and Max are friends. They like to play in the park. They have a red bike and a blue bike. They take turns to ride the bikes.
+
+One day, they see a big truck in the park. The truck has many boxes. The boxes have words on them. Lily and Max do not know the words. They are curious.
+
+They go to the truck and ask the man. The man is nice. He says, "Hello, kids. I am selling fruits and vegetables. Do you want to buy some?"
+
+Lily and Max look at the boxes. They see apples, bananas, carrots, and celery. They like apples and bananas. They do not like carrots and celery.
+
+They say, "No, thank you. We do not want carrots and celery. We want apples and bananas."
+
+The man says, "Sorry, kids. I do not have any apples and bananas. They are all sold out. I only have carrots and celery. They are good for you. Do you want to try some?"
+
+Lily and Max shake their heads. They say, "No, thank you. We do not like carrots and celery. We want to ride our bikes."
+
+The man says, "OK, kids. Have fun. Maybe next time I will have apples and bananas for you."
+
+Lily and Max say, "Bye, bye." They run to their bikes. They ride their bikes in the park. They are happy. They do not want carrots and celery. They want apples and bananas.
+Lily and Tom were friends who liked to play at the beach. They liked to make sand castles, look for shells and splash in the water. One day, they saw a big boat on the ocean. It looked shiny and fun.
+
+"Let's go see the boat!" Tom said. "Maybe they have toys and snacks!"
+
+"I don't know," Lily said. "Mommy said we should not go too far from the shore. The ocean can be dangerous."
+
+"Don't be scared," Tom said. "I'm sure the people on the boat are nice. They will let us play with them. Come on, it will be fun!"
+
+Tom grabbed Lily's hand and ran to the water. They swam towards the boat, but it was farther than they thought. They got tired and cold. They started to cry.
+
+"Help! Help!" they shouted. "We want to go back!"
+
+The people on the boat heard them and looked over the side. They saw Lily and Tom in the water. They did not look happy. They looked angry and rude.
+
+"Go away, you little brats!" one of them yelled. "This is our boat, not yours! You have no right to be here!"
+
+"But we are lost and scared!" Lily said. "Please help us!"
+
+"Too bad!" another one said. "You should have listened to your mommy. Now you will learn your lesson. Bye bye!"
+
+The people on the boat turned away and ignored Lily and Tom. They laughed and drank and played music. They did not care about the children.
+
+Lily and Tom felt very sad and alone. They wished they had never left the beach. They wished they had followed their mommy's advice. They wished someone would help them. But no one did. The ocean was big and dark and cold. They never saw the shore again.
+Tom and Lily are twins. They are three years old. They like to play with their toys and books. But they do not like to go to the doctor. The doctor is nice, but he makes them do exams. Exams are when the doctor looks at their eyes, ears, mouth and nose. He also listens to their heart and lungs.
+
+One day, Mom says they have to go to the doctor for a check-up. Tom and Lily do not want to go. They are stubborn. They say no, no, no. They hide under the bed. Mom tries to find them. She says, "Come on, Tom and Lily. It's time to go to the doctor. It won't hurt. It will be quick. The doctor has stickers and lollipops for you."
+
+Tom and Lily still say no, no, no. They hold each other's hands. They do not want to release their hands. They think Mom will take them away. Mom is patient. She says, "Please, Tom and Lily. The doctor is waiting for you. He wants to see how big and strong you are. He wants to help you stay healthy and happy. He is your friend."
+
+Tom and Lily are curious. They peek from under the bed. They see Mom smiling. They see her holding their favorite teddy bears. They hear her saying, "Look, Tom and Lily. Your teddy bears are going to the doctor too. They are not afraid. They are brave. They want to show you how easy it is. Do you want to join them?"
+
+Tom and Lily look at each other. They think about their teddy bears. They think about the stickers and lollipops. They think about the doctor. They release their hands. They crawl out from under the bed. They say, "Okay, Mom. We will go to the doctor. But we want to hold our teddy bears. And we want to hold your hand too."
+
+Mom hugs them. She says, "Of course, Tom and Lily. You can hold your teddy bears and my hand. I'm proud of you. You are brave too. Let's go to the doctor. He will be happy to see you."
+Lily and Ben were very happy. They had a ticket to see the big animals at the zoo. They liked the lions, the elephants and the monkeys. They wanted to see them all.
+
+But when they got to the gate, a mean man stopped them. He said their ticket was bad. He said they could not go in. He took their ticket and tore it in half. He threw it in the trash.
+
+Lily and Ben were very sad. They cried and cried. They wanted to see the big animals. They did not understand why the mean man was so mean.
+
+Then they saw a big truck. The truck had a big arm. The arm had a big claw. The claw could grab things and destroy them. The truck was near the trash.
+
+Lily had an idea. She said to Ben, "Let's go to the truck. Maybe we can get our ticket back. Maybe we can fix it. Maybe we can go in."
+
+Ben nodded. He said, "OK. Let's go. But we have to be careful. The truck is very strong. It can hurt us."
+
+They ran to the truck. They looked in the trash. They saw their ticket. It was in two pieces. They reached for it. But the truck saw them. The truck moved its arm. The truck grabbed their ticket with its claw. The truck destroyed their ticket. It made it into tiny pieces.
+
+Lily and Ben were very scared. They ran away from the truck. They ran back to the gate. They saw the mean man. He was laughing. He said, "Ha ha ha. You silly kids. You can't get your ticket back. You can't see the big animals. Go away."
+
+Lily and Ben were very angry. They shouted at the mean man. They said, "You are very mean. You are very bad. You destroyed our ticket. You made us sad. We don't like you. We don't want to see you. Go away."
+
+Then they saw a nice lady. The nice lady worked at the zoo. She heard them shout. She came to them. She said, "What's wrong, kids? Why are you so sad? Why are you so angry?"
+
+Lily and Ben told her what happened. They told her about the ticket, the mean man and the truck. They showed her the tiny pieces of their ticket.
+
+The nice lady was very sorry. She said, "Oh, no. That's terrible. That's not fair. That's not right. I'm so sorry, kids. You don't deserve that. You deserve to see the big animals. You deserve to have fun."
+
+She took them by the hand. She said, "Come with me. I have a new ticket for you. A good ticket. A ticket that works. A ticket that lets you in. A ticket that makes you happy."
+
+She gave them the new ticket. She smiled at them. She said, "Here you go, kids. Enjoy the zoo. Enjoy the big animals. Enjoy your day."
+
+Lily and Ben were very happy. They thanked the nice lady. They hugged her. They said, "Thank you, thank you, thank you. You are very nice. You are very good. You made us happy. We like you. We want to see you. Come with us."
+
+They went in the zoo. They saw the big animals. They had fun. They had a good day. They never forgot the nice lady. They never forgot their new ticket. They never forgot their story.
+Ben and Lily were bored. They wanted to do something fun. They asked their mom if they could make popcorn. Mom said yes, but they had to be careful and helpful.
+
+They went to the kitchen and got a big pot and some corn. Mom showed them how to put oil and salt in the pot and turn on the stove. She said they had to wait until they heard a ring sound. That meant the popcorn was ready.
+
+Ben and Lily watched the pot. They saw the corn start to pop. Pop, pop, pop! It was loud and exciting. They smelled the popcorn. It was yummy. They heard the ring sound. It was the timer. Mom said it was time to turn off the stove and take the pot.
+
+Ben and Lily were helpful. They got oven mitts and a big bowl. They helped mom take the pot and pour the popcorn into the bowl. They said thank you to mom. They took the bowl to the living room and sat on the couch. They shared the popcorn and watched a movie. They were happy. They liked popcorn. They liked being helpful.
+Lily liked to talk to her toys when she took a bath. She had a yellow duck, a blue fish, a red boat and a gray elephant. She made them splash and swim and play in the water.
+
+One day, she asked the gray elephant, "Why are you so big and gray? Do you like being an elephant?"
+
+The gray elephant said, "I am big and gray because that is how elephants are. I like being an elephant, but sometimes I wish I could fly like a bird or swim like a fish."
+
+Lily said, "You can pretend to fly and swim with me. Look, I have a boat and a fish. You can ride on the boat and talk to the fish. They are very nice."
+
+The gray elephant said, "Thank you, Lily. You are very kind. I would like to try that."
+
+So Lily and the gray elephant played with the boat and the fish. They had a lot of fun and talked a lot. Lily was happy and the gray elephant was happy too. They were good friends.
+Anna and Ben were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of fun making noises and pretending to be animals. But soon they felt tired and hungry. They wanted to eat something and rest.
+
+"Mom, can we have a snack?" Anna asked.
+
+"Sure, sweetie. Come to the kitchen. I have some cookies and milk for you," Mom said.
+
+Anna and Ben put their toys away and followed Mom to the kitchen. They saw a plate of cookies and two glasses of milk on the table. They smiled and said thank you to Mom.
+
+"Can we eat in the living room, Mom? We want to see the fireplace," Ben said.
+
+"Okay, but be careful. Don't spill your milk or drop your cookies. And don't touch the fireplace. It's very hot," Mom said.
+
+Anna and Ben nodded and took their snacks to the living room. They sat on the couch and watched the fireplace. They saw the flames dancing and the wood crackling. They felt warm and cozy.
+
+"This is nice, Anna. I like the fireplace," Ben said.
+
+"Me too, Ben. It's pretty and warm," Anna said.
+
+They ate their cookies and drank their milk. They felt their eyes getting heavy. They leaned on each other and closed their eyes. They quit playing and fell asleep on the couch.
+
+Mom came to the living room and saw them sleeping. She smiled and covered them with a blanket. She kissed their cheeks and whispered, "Good night, my loves. Sweet dreams."
+Anna liked to play with books. She had many books in her room. Some books had pictures, some books had stories, and some books had hard words. Anna's favorite book was a big book with many hard words. It was called a dictionary.
+
+One day, Anna wanted to show her book to her friend Ben. She took the dictionary and lead Ben to her room. Ben saw the big book and was curious. He asked Anna what it was. Anna said it was a dictionary. She said it had many hard words and their meanings.
+
+Ben wanted to learn some hard words. He opened the dictionary and pointed at a word. He asked Anna what it meant. Anna looked at the word and tried to remember. She did not know the meaning, but she was creative. She made up a meaning that sounded fun. She said the word meant a big, green, friendly monster that liked to eat cookies.
+
+Ben liked Anna's meaning. He laughed and said it was a funny word. He pointed at another word and asked Anna what it meant. Anna looked at the word and made up another meaning. She said the word meant a small, red, angry bird that liked to sing songs.
+
+Ben liked Anna's meaning. He smiled and said it was a silly word. He and Anna had fun making up meanings for many hard words. They used their imagination and their dictionary. They learned new words and had a good time.
+Anna and Ben like to play hide and seek in the library. They take turns to hide and count. Anna counts to ten and then looks for Ben. She sees his shoes under a table. She runs to the table and says, "I found you, Ben!"
+
+Ben laughs and says, "You are good at finding, Anna. Now it is my turn to count. You go and hide." Anna nods and runs away. She looks for a good hiding place. She sees a big shelf with many books. She thinks, "Maybe I can hide behind the books. Ben will not see me there."
+
+She climbs on a chair and pushes some books aside. She makes a small space for herself. She crawls into the space and pulls the books back. She is happy. She thinks, "This is a good hiding place. Ben will never find me here."
+
+But Anna does not know that the shelf is unusual. It is a magic shelf. The books are not normal books. They are books that can talk and move. When Anna pushes the books aside, they get angry. They start to whisper and grumble. They say, "Who is this? Why is she here? She is rude. She is not a book. She does not belong here."
+
+Anna hears the books. She is scared. She thinks, "What is this? The books are talking. They are mad at me. I want to get out of here." She tries to push the books aside again. But the books do not let her. They hold her tight. They say, "You cannot leave. You are our prisoner. You will stay here forever."
+
+Anna cries. She says, "Help! Help! Ben, where are you? Please find me. Please save me." She hopes that Ben will hear her. She hopes that Ben will come and rescue her. She hopes that Ben will not think that she is a book. She hopes that the magic shelf will let her go.
+Lily liked to create things with her toys. She had many blocks, dolls, cars and books. She could make houses, towns, stories and games. She was happy when she created.
+
+One day, she wanted to create a big rug for her dolls. She took all her clothes and blankets and put them on the floor. She made a colorful and soft rug. She was proud of her rug.
+
+But her brother Max was grumpy. He wanted to play with his cars on the floor. He saw Lily's rug and got angry. He said, "Move your rug! It is in my way! I want to play here!"
+
+Lily said, "No, this is my rug! I created it for my dolls! You can play somewhere else!"
+
+Max said, "No, this is my floor! I don't care about your rug or your dolls! I will make them go away!"
+
+He grabbed Lily's rug and pulled it hard. He made it fall apart. He threw Lily's clothes and blankets everywhere. He made a big mess.
+
+Lily cried. She was sad and mad. She said, "You are mean! You ruined my rug! You are a bad brother!"
+
+Max laughed. He was mean and rude. He said, "You are silly! Your rug was ugly! You are a baby sister!"
+
+Lily ran to her mom. She told her what Max did. Mom was not happy. She said, "Max, you are in trouble! You have to say sorry to Lily and help her fix her rug. You have to be nice and share the floor. You have to learn to create, not destroy."
+
+Max was not happy. He said, "But I don't want to!"
+
+Mom said, "You have to. Or you will have no toys, no TV, no snacks and no fun."
+
+Max said, "Fine. I'm sorry, Lily. I will help you."
+
+Lily said, "Thank you, Max. I will help you too."
+
+They hugged. They worked together. They created a new rug. They played with their toys. They were happy.
+Lily and Ben were playing with blocks in the playroom. They liked to build towers and bridges and houses with the blocks. Lily was very organized. She sorted the blocks by color and shape and put them in neat piles. Ben was not very organized. He mixed the blocks and threw them around.
+
+"Ben, stop it!" Lily said. "You are making a mess. You have to be organized like me. Look, this is how you do it." She showed him how to stack the blocks in a row.
+
+Ben watched her for a moment. Then he smiled and said, "Okay, I will try." He picked up some blocks and tried to copy Lily. But he did not pay attention to the color and shape. He just put them on top of each other. Soon his tower fell down and the blocks scattered.
+
+"Ben, you did it wrong!" Lily said. "You have to repeat what I do. Look, this is red and this is square. You have to match them. And this is blue and this is circle. You have to match them too. Do you understand?"
+
+Ben nodded and said, "Yes, I understand." He picked up some more blocks and tried to repeat what Lily did. He looked at the color and shape and matched them. He made a tower that looked like Lily's. He was proud of himself.
+
+"Good job, Ben!" Lily said. "You are very organized now. You repeated what I did. You are a good learner. Do you want to make a bridge next?"
+
+Ben nodded and said, "Yes, I want to make a bridge. Let's do it together." He gave Lily a hug and they started to make a bridge with the blocks. They had fun playing with the blocks. They were happy.
+Tom and Mia are friends. They like to play in the park. They gather leaves and flowers and make a big pile. They pretend the pile is a castle and they are the king and queen.
+
+One day, a new boy comes to the park. His name is Sam. He is gifted at drawing. He has a big book and many colors. He draws animals and cars and stars. Tom and Mia want to see his book. They ask him if they can play with him.
+
+Sam is shy. He does not know Tom and Mia. He says no. He wants to stay alone. He hugs his book and colors. Tom and Mia are sad. They think Sam does not like them. They go back to their pile.
+
+But then, Sam sees their pile. He thinks it is beautiful. He likes leaves and flowers. He wants to make a castle too. He gathers some more leaves and flowers and adds them to the pile. He smiles and says sorry. He says he likes Tom and Mia. He says they can see his book and colors.
+
+Tom and Mia are happy. They say thank you. They say they like Sam. They say he is gifted at drawing. They share their pile and his book and colors. They play together and have fun. They are friends.
+Lila and Tom were playing in the park. They saw a big hill with a lot of rocks. They wanted to climb it and see what was on the other side.
+
+"Come on, Lila, let's go up the hill!" Tom urged. He liked to explore new things.
+
+"OK, Tom, but be careful. The rocks are hard and sharp." Lila said. She followed Tom up the hill.
+
+They reached the top and looked around. They saw a lot of trees and flowers and birds. They also saw a shiny thing in a hole. It was a jewel. It was red and round and sparkled in the sun.
+
+"Wow, look at that! It's a jewel!" Tom said. He ran to the hole and reached for the jewel.
+
+"Wait, Tom, don't touch it! It might be someone's or it might be a trap!" Lila said. She was scared.
+
+But Tom did not listen. He grabbed the jewel and pulled it out. It was very heavy and thick. He felt proud and happy.
+
+"Ha, ha, I got it! It's mine!" Tom said. He held the jewel in his hands and smiled.
+
+But then he heard a loud roar. He turned around and saw a big bear. The bear was angry and hungry. It had been hiding in the trees and had seen Tom take the jewel. The jewel was the bear's treasure. It wanted it back.
+
+"Roar! Give me back my jewel!" The bear said. It ran towards Tom and Lila.
+
+Tom and Lila were very scared. They dropped the jewel and ran down the hill. They did not look back. They ran all the way to the park gate and found their mom.
+
+"Mom, mom, there was a big bear and a jewel and we were in trouble!" Tom and Lila said. They hugged their mom and told her everything.
+
+Their mom was shocked and relieved. She was glad they were safe. She told them they should never take things that are not theirs and they should always listen to their friends. She also told them they should never go near bears.
+
+Tom and Lila said they were sorry and they learned their lesson. They decided to play with their toys instead of climbing hills. They also decided to share their toys and be nice to each other. They did not want to see the bear or the jewel ever again.
+Tom and Sue wanted to cook a cake for Mom. They found a book with a picture of a cake. They looked at the words under the picture. They did not know what some of the words meant. They tried to guess.
+
+They put some things in a big bowl. They mixed them with a spoon. They poured the mix in a pan. They put the pan in the oven. They waited for a long time.
+
+They smelled something bad. They opened the oven. The cake was black and hard. It looked like a rock. They were sad.
+
+Mom came home. She saw the cake. She smiled. She said, "What a nice surprise! Did you cook this for me?"
+
+Tom and Sue nodded. They felt shy. They said, "We wanted to make you happy. But we did not know how to cook. We followed the book. But the cake is bad."
+
+Mom hugged them. She said, "You are very sweet. I love you. Cooking is not easy. It takes practice and patience. Sometimes you have to do a test to see if the cake is done. You poke it with a stick. If the stick is clean, the cake is done. If the stick is sticky, the cake needs more time. And you have to be careful with the oven. It is very hot and harsh. It can burn the cake if you leave it too long."
+
+Tom and Sue learned something new. They said, "Thank you, Mom. Can we try again tomorrow?"
+
+Mom said, "Of course. I will help you. We will cook a yummy cake together."
+Lily and Ben were twins who liked to play together. One day, they found a big box of crayons and stickers in their room. They decided to decorate their walls with them.
+
+"Look, I made a flower!" Lily said, showing Ben her drawing.
+
+"That's nice, but I made a rocket!" Ben said, pointing to his sticker.
+
+They kept decorating until their walls were full of colors and shapes. They were very proud of their work.
+
+But then, their mom came in and saw the mess. She was not happy.
+
+"What did you do to the walls?" she asked, frowning.
+
+"We decorated them!" Lily and Ben said together.
+
+"You can't decorate the walls with crayons and stickers. That's not how you use them. You have to clean this up right now!" mom said.
+
+Lily and Ben felt sad. They did not want to clean up. They liked their decorations.
+
+"Please, mom, can we keep them?" Lily asked.
+
+"No, you can't. They will ruin the walls. Come on, help me get a sponge and some soap." mom said.
+
+Lily and Ben followed mom to the bathroom. They got a sponge and some soap and went back to their room. They started to wipe off the crayons and stickers from the walls. It was hard work. Their arms and hands got tired and sore.
+
+"Ow, my arm hurts!" Lily said.
+
+"Me too!" Ben said.
+
+Mom saw them rubbing their arms. She felt sorry for them.
+
+"I know, it's not fun to clean up. But you have to learn to use your things properly. How about I give you a massage to make you feel better?" she offered.
+
+"A massage? What's that?" Lily asked.
+
+"It's when I rub your muscles gently to make them relax. It feels good. Do you want to try?" mom asked.
+
+"Okay!" Lily and Ben said.
+
+Mom took them to the couch and made them lie down. She started to massage their arms and hands with her fingers. She moved them in circles and pressed them softly.
+
+"Wow, this feels nice!" Lily said.
+
+"Yeah, it does!" Ben said.
+
+Mom smiled. She was glad they liked it.
+
+"You know, you have very flexible muscles. That means you can bend and stretch them easily. That's good for playing and moving. But you also have to take care of them. Do you know how?" she asked.
+
+"No, how?" Lily and Ben asked.
+
+"Well, you have to eat healthy food, drink water, get enough sleep, and exercise. That will make your muscles strong and happy. And you also have to be careful with what you do with them. Don't draw on the walls, or anything else that's not meant for drawing. Use paper, or a board, or a book. That way, you can decorate without making a mess. And you can keep your drawings and show them to me. I would love to see them." mom said.
+
+"Okay, mom, we understand. We're sorry we drew on the walls. We won't do it again." Lily and Ben said.
+
+"That's good. I forgive you. I love you very much. And I love your creativity. You have a lot of imagination. You can make beautiful things with your crayons and stickers. Just use them the right way." mom said.
+
+She hugged them and kissed them. They hugged her back and kissed her.
+
+"Thank you for the massage, mom. It was very nice." Lily said.
+
+"Yes, thank you, mom. It was very nice." Ben said.
+
+"You're welcome, my sweeties. Now, how about we go and decorate some cookies? I have some icing and sprinkles in the kitchen. Do you want to help me?" mom asked.
+
+"Yes, please!" Lily and Ben said.
+
+They got up from the couch and followed mom to the kitchen. They decorated some cookies with icing and sprinkles. They made flowers, rockets, stars, and hearts. They had fun and laughed. They ate some cookies and shared them with mom. They were happy. They learned a new word, a new feeling, and a new lesson. They decorated their day with love.
+Sara and Ben were best friends. They liked to play together in the park, and share their toys and snacks. One day, they saw a big dog in the park. The dog was barking and running towards them. Sara and Ben were fearful. They ran away and hid behind a tree.
+
+"Are you okay, Sara?" Ben asked.
+
+"Yes, I'm okay, Ben. Are you okay?" Sara asked.
+
+"Yes, I'm okay, Sara. But I'm scared of the dog. He is big and loud," Ben said.
+
+"Me too, Ben. I don't like the dog. He is mean and scary," Sara said.
+
+They hugged each other and waited for the dog to go away.
+
+"Ben, you are my best friend. You make me feel safe," Sara said.
+
+"Sara, you are my best friend. You make me feel brave," Ben said.
+
+They smiled at each other and held hands.
+
+"Ben, do you want to marry me?" Sara asked.
+
+"Sara, do you want to marry me?" Ben asked.
+
+They nodded and kissed each other on the cheek.
+
+They were happy and forgot about the dog. They decided to marry in the park, with their toys and snacks as guests. They put flowers in their hair and rings on their fingers. They said "I do" and hugged each other again.
+
+They were married and they were safe. They were not fearful anymore. They were in love.
+Ben and Lily were twins, but they were very unique. Ben liked to play with cars and trucks, and Lily liked to play with dolls and flowers. They had different colors, toys, and clothes.
+
+One day, they were playing in their room, when they saw a big bird outside the window. It had bright feathers and a long tail. Ben and Lily ran to the window to look at the bird.
+
+"Wow, what a pretty bird!" Lily said. "I want to give it a name. How about Rainbow?"
+
+"No, that's a silly name!" Ben said. "It's a cool bird. It needs a cool name. How about Rocket?"
+
+Ben and Lily started to disagree. They both wanted to name the bird their way. They raised their voices and argued.
+
+"Rainbow! Rainbow! Rainbow!" Lily shouted.
+
+"Rocket! Rocket! Rocket!" Ben shouted.
+
+The bird heard them and got scared. It flew away from the window, leaving behind a few feathers. Ben and Lily stopped shouting and looked at the empty window. They felt sad and sorry.
+
+They looked at each other and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be mean. You can name the bird whatever you want."
+
+They hugged and smiled. They picked up the feathers and decided to share them. They made a necklace for Lily and a hat for Ben. They both agreed that the bird was unique and beautiful, just like them.
+Lily liked to paint. She had many colors and brushes. She painted on paper, on wood, on rocks. She painted flowers, animals, stars. She was happy when she painted.
+
+One day, she saw a big wall of bricks near her house. It was gray and dull. She thought it would look better with some paint. She took her colors and brushes and went to the wall. She started to paint a big rainbow on the bricks.
+
+But soon, a man came and shouted at her. He said the wall was his and she had no right to paint on it. He said he would call the police and make her pay for the damage. He took her colors and brushes and threw them away. Lily was scared and sad. She ran back to her house and cried.
+
+Her mom saw her and hugged her. She asked her what happened. Lily told her everything. Her mom said she was sorry and that the man was very mean. She said Lily had a good heart and wanted to make the world more beautiful. But she also said Lily had to be careful and ask for permission before she painted on other people's things. She said some people did not like colors and wanted to keep things gray and dull.
+
+She said she had an idea. She took Lily to the garage and showed her a big pile of bricks. She said they were left over from when they built the house. She said Lily could paint on them as much as she wanted. She said they could use them to make a garden or a playhouse or anything else. She said they could also give some to their friends and neighbors who liked colors.
+
+Lily smiled and hugged her mom. She said thank you and sorry. She said she learned her lesson. She said she would only paint on things that were hers or that people let her. She said she still wanted to make the world more beautiful, but in a peaceful way. She said she loved her mom and her colors and her bricks. She said she was happy again.

+Lily was happy to hear that and asked her mom to send her to the store to buy some tea bags. Her mom agreed and gave her some money to buy the tea bags.
+
+When Lily got to the store, she saw a man who looked very harsh. He was yelling at the cashier and making her cry. Lily felt scared and didn't know what to do. But then she remembered the herb and decided to give some to the man.
+
+She walked up to him and said, "Here, this herb will make you feel better." The man took the herb and smelled it. Suddenly, his face softened and he smiled at Lily. He apologized to the cashier and left the store.

Harry was sad, but he learned that sometimes it's okay to surrender and walk away.

+
+Lily's friend, Tommy, said, "Wow, that tree is so big! Can you climb it?"
+
+Lily replied, "No, I can't climb it. But I can run around it really fast! Watch me speed around the tree!"

+
+Tom's mom was alert and came to see what happened. She saw the trouble on the floor and told Tom not to worry. She cleaned it up and told Tom to be careful next time. Tom learned to be more alert when he stirred things in the kitchen.
+Lila and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to skip and run and jump. They saw a big object on the grass. It was round and shiny and had many colors.
+
+"What is that?" Lila asked.
+
+"Let's go and see!" Ben said.
+
+They skipped to the object. It was a balloon. It had a string tied to it. They pulled the string and the balloon came down.
+
+"Wow, it's so pretty!" Lila said.
+
+"Can we keep it?" Ben asked.
+
+They looked around. They did not see anyone who owned the balloon. They saw a distant man walking a dog. They saw a distant woman pushing a stroller. They saw a distant boy riding a bike.
+
+"Maybe it's a gift for us!" Lila said.
+
+"Maybe it's a magic balloon!" Ben said.
+

+
+They took the jug to their room. They tried to open the lid, but it was stuck. They pushed and pulled, but it did not move. They decided to use their blocks to help them. They built a big ramp with blocks. They put the jug on the ramp. They hoped the jug would roll down and break open.
+
+They pushed the jug hard. The jug rolled down the ramp. It went very fast. It hit the wall with a loud bang. The lid flew off. The jug broke into pieces. Lily and Ben were happy. They ran to see what was in the jug.
+
+But they did not find anything good in the jug. They found something bad. They found a big spider. The spider was angry. It had been trapped in the jug for a long time. It wanted to bite. It jumped out of the jug. It ran towards Lily and Ben. Lily and Ben were scared. They screamed and ran away. The spider chased them. The spider was faster. The spider caught them. The spider bit them. Lily and Ben cried. They wished they had never found the jug. The end.
+Anna and Ben like to race each other. They race to the door, to the swing, to the tree. They have fun and laugh a lot. But sometimes they race too fast and bump into things.
+
+One day, they race to the kitchen. Mom is making cookies. She wears a blue apron. She smiles and says, "Do you want to help me?" Anna and Ben say yes. They love cookies.
+
+Mom gives them each a bowl and a spoon. She says, "Mix the flour and the sugar and the butter." Anna and Ben try to mix. But it is difficult. The flour is powdery. The sugar is sticky. The butter is hard. They make a mess. The flour and the sugar and the butter go everywhere. On the table, on the floor, on their clothes, on Mom's apron.
+
+Mom sees the mess. She is not angry. She laughs and says, "You are very good racers, but not very good mixers. Let me help you." She takes the bowls and spoons and puts them in the sink. She wipes the table and the floor and their clothes and her apron. She says, "Now we can make the cookies together. But first, let's wash our hands."
+
+Anna and Ben wash their hands. They help Mom roll the dough and cut the shapes. They put the cookies in the oven. They wait and smell the cookies. They are happy. They say, "Thank you, Mom. You are the best." Mom hugs them and says, "You are welcome, my sweeties. You are the best, too." They eat the cookies and share them with Dad. They are delicious. They race to the couch and cuddle. They are tired. They close their eyes and dream of more cookies.
+Ben and Mia are twins. They like to play together, but sometimes they fight. One day, they are hungry and want a snack. They go to the kitchen and see a plate of sandwiches on the table.
+
+"Yum, sandwiches!" Ben says. He grabs one and takes a big bite.
+
+"Hey, that's not fair!" Mia says. "You took the biggest one! I want that one!"
+
+She tries to take the sandwich from Ben, but he holds it tight. They pull and tug and yell.
+
+"Stop it, you two!" Mom says. She comes into the kitchen and sees the mess. "What are you doing? You are making a lot of noise and crumbs!"
+
+"Ben took my sandwich!" Mia says.
+
+"No, I didn't! It was mine!" Ben says.
+
+Mom sighs. She is not happy. She puts the plate of sandwiches away and says, "No more sandwiches for you. You need to learn to share and be calm. If you want a sandwich, you have to request it nicely, not grab it."
+
+Ben and Mia feel sorry. They don't want to make Mom sad. They say, "We're sorry, Mom. Can we have a sandwich, please?"
+
+Mom smiles. She is glad they are polite. She says, "Yes, you can. But first, you have to hug and say sorry to each other."
+
+Ben and Mia hug and say sorry. They are friends again. Mom gives them each a sandwich and a glass of milk. They eat and drink and say, "Thank you, Mom. We love you."
+
+Mom hugs them and says, "I love you too. Now, go and play nicely."
+Tom and Lily like to play in the garden. They see many bugs there. Some bugs are big and some bugs are small. Some bugs are red and some bugs are green. Tom and Lily want to build a home for the bugs.
+
+They find some sticks and some leaves and some stones. They put them together on the ground. They make a big pile. They leave some holes for the bugs to go in and out. They say, "This is our bug home. We are good builders."
+
+They look for some bugs to put in their home. They see a ladybug, a worm, a spider and a snail. They pick them up gently and put them in the pile. They say, "Hello, bugs. This is your new home. We hope you like it."
+
+The bugs crawl and slide and spin and hide in the pile. They seem happy. Tom and Lily watch them and smile. They say, "We are good friends to the bugs. We are ready to play with them." They sit next to the pile and talk to the bugs. They have fun in the garden.
+Tim and Sam were brothers. They liked to play outside in the yard. One day, they woke up very early and saw the sunrise. It was big and bright and made the sky look like a painting.
+
+They ran outside to see it better. They saw a big pile of mud near the fence. They thought it would be fun to jump in it and get dirty. They took off their shoes and socks and ran to the mud.
+
+But when they got closer, they smelled something disgusting. It was not mud, it was poop! A dog had pooped in their yard and they almost stepped in it. They stopped and screamed. They ran back to the house and told their mom.
+
+Mom was not happy. She said they had to take a bath and wash their clothes. She said they should not play in the poop, it was yucky and could make them sick. She said they should look before they jump.
+
+Tim and Sam learned their lesson. They never played in the poop again. They still liked to see the sunrise, but they stayed away from the fence. They found other things to play with in the yard, like balls and bikes and bubbles. They had fun and stayed clean.
+Lily was a little girl who liked to explore. She liked to find new things and learn about them. One day, she saw a big green plant with purple flowers in her garden. She wondered what it was and how it smelled.
+
+She walked closer to the plant and reached out her hand to touch a flower. But as soon as she did, she felt a sharp pain in her finger. She looked and saw that the flower had teeth and it had bitten her. She screamed and ran away from the plant.
+
+"Ow, ow, ow!" she cried. "Mommy, mommy, help me!"
+
+Her mommy heard her and came running. She saw Lily's finger bleeding and the plant with the purple flowers.
+
+"Oh, Lily, what happened?" she asked.
+
+"Mommy, the flower bit me!" Lily said. "It has teeth and it bit me hard!"
+
+Her mommy looked at the plant and recognized it. It was a venus flytrap, a plant that eats bugs. She had bought it from a shop that sold mysterious plants. She had forgotten to tell Lily not to touch it.
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily, I didn't know you would go near it. It's a venus flytrap, a plant that eats bugs. It bites when it feels something touch it. It's a very mysterious plant. Let me clean your finger and put a band-aid on it. It will be okay soon."
+
+She took Lily inside and washed her finger and put a band-aid on it. She gave her a hug and a kiss and said she was sorry.
+
+"Thank you, mommy. I love you," Lily said.
+
+"I love you too, Lily. Next time, be careful with the plants. Some of them are not friendly. And if you want to learn about them, you can ask me or look at a book. Okay?"
+
+"Okay, mommy. I will. Can I have a cookie?"
+
+"Sure, Lily. You can have a cookie. But don't bite it too hard. It might bite you back."
+Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with toy guns. They have many toy guns in their room. Some are big, some are small, some are red, some are blue.
+
+One day, Tom finds a new toy gun in a box. It is very big and black. It has a button and a light. Tom thinks it is a powerful toy gun. He wants to try it.
+
+"Look, Sam, I have a new toy gun!" Tom says. "It is powerful. It can make a loud noise and a bright flash. Do you want to play with me?"
+
+Sam looks at the toy gun. He is curious. He wants to play with Tom. But he is also scared. He does not like loud noises and bright flashes. They hurt his ears and eyes.
+
+"OK, Tom, I will play with you," Sam says. "But you have to be careful. Do not point the toy gun at me or at anything else. And do not press the button too much. You might run out of supply."
+
+"Supply? What is supply?" Tom asks.
+
+"Supply is what makes the toy gun work," Sam explains. "It is like the batteries in your car or the juice in your cup. If you use too much, you will have none left. And then the toy gun will not work."
+
+Tom nods. He understands. He does not want to run out of supply. He wants to play with his new toy gun for a long time.
+
+"OK, Sam, I will be careful," Tom says. "Let's go outside and find a good place to play. Come on, follow me!"
+
+Tom and Sam go outside with their toy guns. They have fun. They pretend to be soldiers or spies or heroes. They make noises and flashes with their toy guns. But they are careful. They do not point their toy guns at each other or at anything else. And they do not press the button too much. They save some supply for later. They are good friends.
+Anna liked to play with her mom's jewelry. She liked the shiny rings and necklaces and bracelets. She liked to pretend she was a princess or a fairy. But her mom told her not to touch the jewelry. She said it was very special and expensive and she could lose it or break it.
+
+One day, Anna was alone in her room. She saw her mom's jewelry box on the dresser. She wanted to play with it so much. She thought her mom would not know. She opened the box and took out some rings and necklaces and bracelets. She put them on and looked at herself in the mirror. She felt very pretty and happy.
+
+But then she heard a loud noise. It was a scary noise. It sounded like a monster or a ghost. Anna was very afraid. She ran to the door and tried to open it. But it was locked. She could not get out. She started to cry and scream. She wished she had not touched the jewelry. She wished her mom was there.
+
+The noise was her dad. He had come home from work and wanted to surprise Anna. He had put on a mask and made a funny voice. He thought Anna would laugh and hug him. He did not know she was in her room with the jewelry. He heard her cry and scream and felt very sorry. He took off the mask and unlocked the door. He hugged Anna and said he was sorry.

+
+Anna was happy to see her dad. She hugged him back and said she was sorry too. She said she had played with the jewelry and she knew it was wrong. She said she would never do it again. She said she loved him too.
+
+Her dad smiled and said he was glad. He said he understood she liked the jewelry. He said he had a gift for her. He took out a small box and opened it. Inside was a necklace with a heart pendant.

+
+"Lily, what did you do?" she asked. "Why did you write on my shoe?"
+
+Lily was scared. She tried to hide the crayon behind her back. She said, "I'm sorry, mom. I wanted to make the shoe pretty."
+
+But her mom did not think it was pretty. She thought it was ruined. She took the shoe and the crayon from Lily. She said, "You are a bad girl, Lily. You are not allowed to write on anything that is not yours. You are in big trouble. Go to your room and stay there."
+
+Lily cried. She ran to her room. She felt sad and sorry. She wished she had not written on the shoe. She wished her mom was not mad at her. She wished she had a happy ending.

+Lila and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to slide, swing and run. They saw a big box near the trees. It was brown and had a hole on one side.
+
+"Look, a box!" Lila said. "Let's go inside!"
+

+Lila and Ben were scared. They did not know the man. He looked mean and dirty.
+
+"Sorry, mister!" Lila said. "We did not know!"
+
+They quickly got out of the box and ran away. They did not look back.
+
+They found their mom and dad. They told them what happened.

+
+"We know, mom," Ben said. "We won't do it again."

+They hugged their mom and dad. They were glad they were safe.
+
+They learned a lesson that day. They decided to play with their own toys and not with stupid boxes.
+Anna and Ben like to play with blocks. They build houses, towers, bridges and cars with the blocks. They have fun making different things with the blocks.

+
+But then, Tom comes along. Tom is a big boy who likes to break things. He sees Anna and Ben's landscape and he laughs. He says, "What is this? This is not a landscape. This is ugly. I can make a better landscape." He pushes Anna and Ben away and starts to break their blocks. He throws the blocks everywhere and makes a big mess.
+
+Anna and Ben are sad and angry. They cry and shout, "Stop, Tom! Stop breaking our landscape! You are mean and rude. Go away!" They try to save their blocks, but Tom is too strong and fast.
+
+Then, Mom comes in. She sees the broken blocks and the crying children. She is mad at Tom. She says, "Tom, what have you done? You have broken Anna and Ben's landscape. You have hurt their feelings. You have to say sorry and help them fix it. Or you will go to time out." She makes Tom apologize and pick up the blocks. She hugs Anna and Ben and helps them rebuild their landscape.

+
+Sara and Tom are scared. They do not want to give the things. They like the things. They say, "No, they are not yours. They are ours. We found them in the box." Jack and Lily do not listen. They try to grab the things. They pull and push. Sara and Tom hold on. They cry.
+
+Then, Sara has an idea. She remembers her wand. She says to Tom, "Let's unite. Let's use the wand together. Maybe it will work." Tom nods. He says, "OK, let's try." They hold the wand with both hands. They point it at Jack and Lily. They say, "Stop. Go away. Leave us alone."
+
+The wand makes a sound. It makes a flash. It makes a start. A start is a small fire. Jack and Lily see the start. They are surprised. They are scared. They think the wand is real. They do not know it is fake. They let go of the things. They run away. They say, "Sorry. Sorry. Sorry."
+
+Sara and Tom are happy. They hug. They say, "We did it. We united. We used the wand. We scared them away." They laugh. They put the things back in the box. They say, "Thank you, wand.

+Anna and Ben were friends who liked to play together. They lived near the ocean and often went to the beach. One day, they saw a big boat with many people on it. The people looked wealthy. They had nice clothes and shiny things. Anna and Ben wanted to see the boat up close.
+
+They swam in the water and got closer to the boat. They saw a rope hanging from the boat. Ben had an idea. He said to Anna, "Let's climb the rope and see what's on the boat. Maybe we can find some shiny things too." Anna was scared. She said, "No, Ben, that's not right. The boat is not ours. The people might get angry. We should go back to the beach and play with our toys."
+
+But Ben did not listen. He climbed the rope and got on the boat. He saw many shiny things and grabbed some. He put them in his pockets. He was happy. He did not see the people coming. They saw Ben and shouted at him. They were angry. They grabbed Ben and took him to a room. They locked the door. Ben was scared. He cried.
+
+Anna saw what happened. She was sad. She wanted to help Ben. She swam back to the beach and ran to find help. She saw a man who worked at the beach. She told him what happened. The man was kind. He said, "Don't worry, Anna. I will help you. Come with me." He took Anna to his boat and they went to the big boat. He talked to the people and explained what happened. He asked them to let Ben go. The people were still angry, but they agreed. They gave Ben back to the man and Anna. They also took back their shiny things. Ben was sorry. He said, "I'm sorry, Anna. I'm sorry, people. I was wrong. I should not have taken your things. I should have listened to Anna." Anna hugged Ben. She said, "I'm glad you're okay, Ben. I forgive you. But don't do that again. It's not nice to take things that are not yours. It's better to play with what we have and be happy."
+
+The man took Anna and Ben back to the beach. He gave them some ice cream and said, "You are good friends. You should take care of each other and respect other people. The ocean is a beautiful place, but it can also be dangerous. Be careful and have fun." Anna and Ben thanked the man and ate their ice cream. They learned their lesson. They played with their toys and enjoyed the ocean. They were happy.
+Lily and Ben liked to play with their toy cars. They had many cars of different colors and sizes. They liked to make them go fast and make loud noises. But they had a problem. Their cars needed batteries to work, and they only had a few left.
+
+One day, they found a big box in the garage. It had a picture of a car on it. They opened the box and saw a shiny new car. It was bigger and faster than their other cars. It had lights and sounds and a remote control. They were very happy. They wanted to try it right away.
+
+But the car also needed a battery. And it needed a special battery, not like the ones they had. They looked in the box, but there was no battery. They looked in the garage, but they could not find one. They looked in the house, but they could not see one. They were very sad. They wanted to play with their new car, but they could not.
+
+Then they had an idea. They remembered that their dad had a big battery in his car. They thought maybe they could use that battery for their new car. They ran to the driveway and opened the hood of their dad's car. They saw the big battery. It had wires and clips and stickers. They did not know what they were, but they did not care. They tried to pull the battery out, but it was too heavy and stuck.
+
+They needed help. They looked around and saw their dog, Spot. Spot was a big and wild dog. He liked to run and jump and bark. He liked to play with Lily and Ben. They called him and showed him the battery. They told him to help them get it out. Spot wagged his tail and barked. He bit the wires and pulled the clips. He made sparks and smoke and noise. He got the battery out.
+
+Lily and Ben were very happy. They thanked Spot and hugged him. They took the battery and ran to their new car. They put the battery in the car and turned it on. The car made lights and sounds and moved. They grabbed the remote control and made the car go. They had fun with their new car.
+
+But they did not know that they had made a big mistake. They did not know that they had taken their dad's battery. They did not know that their dad needed his battery to go to work. They did not know that their dad would be very angry when he saw what they had done. They did not know that they would be in big trouble. They did not know that their new car would soon stop working. They did not know that they had united their dad's car and their new car in a bad way. They did not know that they had made a wild mess. They did not know that they had foreshadowed their own punishment. They only knew that they liked to play with their toy cars.

+
+One day, Anna saw a new toy in the store. It was a stuffed wolf that looked very soft and cute. She wanted it so much that she ran to it and grabbed it. She did not care that another boy was holding it first. She pulled it from his hands and said, "Mine!"

+The boy was very sad and angry. He tried to get his wolf back, but Anna was stronger. She pushed him away and ran to her mom and dad. She said, "I want this wolf! Buy it for me!"
+
+Her mom and dad were very tired of her bad behavior. They said, "No, Anna. You have enough toys. You cannot take things from other children. That is very rude and mean. Put the wolf back and say sorry to the boy."
+
+Anna did not listen. She threw a big tantrum. She kicked and screamed and threw the wolf on the floor. She said, "I hate you! I hate this wolf! I hate everything!"
+
+The wolf was very hurt and scared. It did not like being thrown and yelled at. It wished it could find a nice and kind child who would love it and play with it.

+Anna felt very ashamed and sorry. She realized she had made a big mistake. She said, "I'm sorry, boy. I'm sorry, wolf. I was very bad. Please forgive me."

+"Yes, please!" Anna and Ben said. They took a cookie and ate it. It was sweet and crunchy.
+
+They hugged Mommy and said, "We love you, Mommy."
+
+"I love you too, my playful children," Mommy said.
+Lily and Max were having lunch with their mom. They had cheese sandwiches and apple juice. Lily liked to eat neatly and use a napkin to wipe her mouth. Max liked to make a mess and throw his napkin on the floor.
+
+"Max, please use your napkin," mom said. "Don't be rude."
+
+Max disagreed. He thought napkins were boring and silly. He wanted to have fun and play with his food. He stuck his tongue out at Lily and mom.
+
+"Max, stop that," Lily said. "You are making a big mess. Mom will be angry."
+
+Lily was persistent. She tried to give Max her napkin and show him how to use it. But Max did not listen. He pushed Lily's napkin away and spilled his juice on the table.
+
+"Max, that's enough," mom said. "You are being naughty. You need a time out."
+
+Mom took Max to his room and made him sit on his bed. He had to stay there until he said sorry and cleaned up his mess. Max was not happy. He wished he had used his napkin.
+Tim and Sam were playing with their cars on the floor. They liked to make noises and pretend they were racing. Tim had a red car and Sam had a blue car. They were having fun.
+
+Suddenly, they heard a loud siren outside. They ran to the window and saw a big white truck with a red cross on it. It was an ambulance. It was going very fast and had lights flashing.
+
+"Wow, look at that!" Tim said. "It's an ambulance. It helps people who are hurt."
+
+"Maybe it's going to the hospital," Sam said. "I wonder what happened."
+
+They watched as the ambulance turned the corner and disappeared. They wanted to see more, but their mom called them.
+
+"Boys, it's time for lunch. Come to the kitchen, please."
+
+Tim and Sam groaned. They didn't want to stop playing. They wanted to see the ambulance again.
+
+"Can we play a little more, mom?" Tim asked. "Please?"
+
+"No, you can't," mom said. "You need to eat. You can play later."
+
+Tim and Sam were not happy. They felt mom was being mean. They wanted to delay lunch. They dragged their feet and walked slowly to the kitchen.
+
+When they got there, they saw a big surprise. Mom had made them fancy sandwiches with cheese and ham and lettuce. She had also cut them into shapes like stars and hearts. She had put them on a tray with some grapes and cookies.
+
+"Look what I made for you," mom said. "Do you like it?"
+
+Tim and Sam's eyes widened. They forgot about the ambulance. They smiled and hugged mom.
+
+"Wow, thank you, mom!" Tim said. "This is the best lunch ever!"
+
+"Yes, thank you, mom!" Sam said. "You are the best mom ever!"
+
+They sat down and ate their fancy sandwiches. They were happy and full. They decided mom was not mean after all. She was very nice. They told her they loved her.
+
+Mom smiled and kissed them. She was happy too. She loved them very much. She said they could play with their cars again after they cleaned up. They agreed.
+
+They finished their lunch and put their plates in the sink. They ran back to their cars and resumed their game. They hoped to see the ambulance again, but they didn't mind if they didn't. They had each other and mom. They had everything they needed. They were happy.
+Lily and Max were going to the park with Mom. They put on their coats and hats and shoes. Mom helped them with their buckles in the car. Lily and Max liked the buckles. They made a click sound when they closed.
+
+On the way to the park, Mom gave them some crackers to chew. Lily and Max liked the crackers. They were crunchy and salty. They chewed and chewed and made funny faces at each other. Mom smiled and said they were silly.
+
+When they got to the park, they saw a big slide. Lily and Max wanted to go on the slide. They ran to the slide and climbed the steps. The slide was high and shiny. Lily went first. She sat on the slide and pushed herself down. She went fast and felt the wind in her hair. She laughed and said it was fun.
+
+Max wanted to go next. He sat on the slide and pushed himself down. But he did not go fast. He went slow and stopped in the middle. He was stuck. He tried to move but he could not. He felt heavy and scared. He cried and said he wanted Mom.
+
+Mom heard Max and ran to the slide. She saw him stuck and said it was okay. She climbed the steps and reached for him. She pulled him out of the slide and hugged him. She said he was brave and she loved him. She asked him what happened. Max said he did not know. He said he ate too many crackers. He said they made him heavy. Mom laughed and said that was not true. She said he was just too big for the slide. She said he could try another one. Lily and Max nodded and said okay. They followed Mom to another slide. They hoped it was not too small or too big. They hoped it was just right.
+One day, Ben and Lily went to the park with their mom. They saw a big hill of snow. Ben and Lily wanted to play on the snow. They ran to the hill and started to make snowballs.
+
+"Let's make a snowman!" Ben said. He rolled a big snowball for the body and a smaller one for the head. Lily helped him put them together.
+
+"We need something for the eyes and the nose and the mouth," Lily said. She looked around and saw some rocks and sticks. She picked up two rocks and put them on the snowman's face for the eyes. She picked up a stick and put it on the snowman's face for the nose.
+
+"What about the mouth?" Ben asked. He looked around and saw some coal. He ran to the coal and picked up some pieces. He brought them back to the snowman and put them on the snowman's face for the mouth.
+
+"Look, our snowman has a smile!" Lily said. She was happy.
+
+"Let's give him a hat and a scarf," Ben suggested. He saw a hat and a scarf on a bench. He ran to the bench and took the hat and the scarf. He put the hat on the snowman's head and the scarf around the snowman's neck.
+
+"Wow, our snowman looks great!" Lily said. She was proud.
+
+"Let's take a picture with him," Ben suggested. He called their mom. Their mom came with her phone and took a picture of Ben and Lily and their snowman.
+
+"Say cheese!" their mom said.
+
+"Cheese!" Ben and Lily said. They smiled with their snowman. They had fun.
+Tom and Lily are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big slide. They want to go on the slide.
+
+Tom goes first. He climbs up the ladder. He sits on the slide. He slides down fast. He laughs and says, "That was fun!"
+
+Lily goes next. She climbs up the ladder. She sits on the slide. But she is scared. She holds on to the slide with her hands. She does not slide down. She says, "This is difficult!"
+
+Tom sees Lily. He wants to help her. He climbs up the ladder again. He reaches Lily. He says, "Don't be scared. I will hold you." He puts his arms around her waist. He says, "Ready? One, two, three!"
+
+Tom and Lily slide down together. They go fast. They feel the wind in their hair. They laugh and say, "That was fun!"
+
+They run to the slide again. They want to slide more. They are happy. They are brave. They are friends.
+Lily was eager to help her mom make cookies. She loved cookies and wanted to learn how to make them. She put on her apron and climbed on a chair to reach the counter.
+
+Mom showed Lily how to mix the flour, sugar, butter and eggs in a big bowl. Lily stirred with a wooden spoon and smiled. She liked to make the dough. Mom said they had to roll the dough and cut out shapes with cookie cutters. Lily picked a star, a heart and a flower.
+
+Mom put the cookie shapes on a baking sheet and said they had to go in the oven. Lily wanted to see the oven, but Mom said no. She said the oven was very hot and could hurt Lily. She said Lily had to stay away from the stove and the oven. Lily nodded, but she was curious.
+
+When Mom went to get the milk from the fridge, Lily saw the oven door was open a little. She thought she could peek inside and see the cookies. She reached for the oven handle, but it was very hot. She burned her hand and cried out. Mom heard her and ran to her. She saw Lily's hand was red and sore. She hugged Lily and said she was sorry. She said she would put some ice on her hand and make it feel better.
+
+Lily cried and said she hated the stove and the oven. She said they were mean and bad. Mom said they were not mean and bad, but they were dangerous. She said Lily had to be careful and listen to Mom when she said no. She said she loved Lily and wanted her to be safe. She said they could still have cookies when they were done. Lily said she loved Mom and wanted to have cookies. She said she would not touch the stove and the oven again. Mom kissed her and said she was a good girl.
+Lily and Ben were going to visit Grandma in her big building. They liked Grandma, but they did not like the elevator. The elevator was ugly and loud and scary. It had a big door that opened and closed by itself, and a lot of buttons that made it go up and down.
+
+Lily and Ben held Mom's hands as they walked to the elevator. Mom pushed a button and the door opened. They saw a man inside. He was ugly too. He had a big nose and a big beard and a big hat. He looked at Lily and Ben and smiled.
+
+"Hello, little ones," he said. "Are you going to see Grandma?"
+
+Lily and Ben did not say anything. They hid behind Mom. They did not want to go in the elevator with the ugly man.
+
+Mom smiled at the man and said, "Yes, we are. Thank you for holding the door for us."
+
+She pulled Lily and Ben into the elevator and pushed another button. The door closed and the elevator started to move. It made a loud noise and shook a little. Lily and Ben felt scared.
+
+Mom hugged them and said, "Don't worry, it's okay. The elevator is just taking us to Grandma's floor. It will be over soon. You know what? The man in the hat reminds me of someone. Do you know who?"
+
+Lily and Ben shook their heads.
+
+Mom said, "He reminds me of Santa Claus. He has a big nose and a big beard and a big hat, just like Santa. Maybe he is Santa's cousin or friend. Maybe he is here to bring presents to good children like you."
+
+Lily and Ben looked at the man again. He was still smiling. He did not look so ugly anymore. He looked kind and friendly. Maybe he was Santa's cousin or friend. Maybe he had presents for them.
+
+They smiled back at him and said, "Hello, Santa's cousin."
+
+The man laughed and said, "Hello, little ones. You are very smart and brave. I like you. Maybe I have something for you in my bag."
+
+He reached into his bag and pulled out two candy canes. He gave one to Lily and one to Ben.
+
+"Here you go," he said. "A treat for you. Merry Christmas."
+
+Lily and Ben said, "Thank you. Merry Christmas."
+
+They took the candy canes and licked them. They were sweet and minty. They liked them.
+
+The elevator stopped and the door opened. Mom said, "Here we are. Grandma's floor. Let's go."
+
+She thanked the man and said goodbye. Lily and Ben thanked him too and said goodbye. They waved at him as they left the elevator.
+
+They walked to Grandma's door and knocked. Grandma opened the door and hugged them. She was happy to see them.
+
+"Hello, my darlings," she said. "Come in, come in. I have cookies and milk for you. And a surprise."
+
+Lily and Ben wondered what the surprise was. Maybe it was another present. Maybe it was from Santa's cousin. They followed Grandma into her apartment. They were not scared of the elevator anymore. They were happy. They liked Grandma. They liked Santa's cousin. They liked candy canes. They liked Christmas.
+Tim and Jen are friends. They like to play in the yard. They have a ball and a hoop. They take turns to throw the ball in the hoop. They count how many times they can do it.
+
+"Your turn, Jen!" Tim says. He gives her the ball. Jen runs to the hoop. She throws the ball. It goes in. "One!" she says.
+
+"Good job, Jen!" Tim says. He claps his hands. Jen smiles. She throws the ball again. It goes in. "Two!" she says.
+
+"Wow, Jen! You are good!" Tim says. He cheers for her. Jen throws the ball again. It misses the hoop. It bounces away. "Oh, no!" she says.
+
+Tim and Jen run after the ball. They see a big dog. The dog has the ball in his mouth. He looks at them. He wags his tail. He drops the ball. He barks.
+
+"Hi, dog!" Tim says. He picks up the ball. He pets the dog. The dog licks his face. "You are a nice dog!" Tim says.
+
+"Can we play with you, dog?" Jen says. She pets the dog too. The dog barks again. He runs to the hoop. He jumps. He puts his paws on the hoop. He looks at Tim and Jen.
+

+
+They have fun in the yard. They play with the ball and the hoop and the dog. They are fine.
+Lila and Ben were playing in the park. They liked to gather leaves and make piles. They found many leaves of different colors and shapes. They had fun throwing them in the air and jumping on them.
+
+But then they saw a big dog. The dog was barking and running towards them. It looked angry and scary. Lila and Ben were afraid. They did not know what to do.
+
+"Run!" Lila said to Ben. "We have to find a way to get away from the dog!"
+
+They ran as fast as they could. They looked for a place to hide. They saw an ancient house. The house was old and broken. It had no windows or doors. It looked spooky.
+
+"Let's go in there!" Ben said to Lila. "Maybe the dog will not follow us!"
+
+They ran into the house. They hoped the dog would not see them. They found a corner and hugged each other. They were shaking and crying.
+
+But then they heard a voice. The voice was soft and kind. It said, "Don't be afraid, little ones. I am here to help you."
+
+They looked up and saw a lady. The lady was old and wrinkled. She had white hair and a long dress. She smiled at them. She had a basket of cookies and milk.
+
+"Who are you?" Lila asked.
+
+"I am the owner of this house," the lady said. "I have lived here for a long time. I saw the dog chasing you. I scared him away with my broom. He will not bother you anymore."
+
+"Thank you, lady," Ben said. "You are very nice. We are sorry for coming into your house. We were looking for a way to be safe."
+
+"That's all right, dear," the lady said. "You are welcome to stay here for a while. I have some cookies and milk for you. They will make you feel better."
+
+Lila and Ben smiled. They felt happy and grateful. They took the cookies and milk from the lady. They ate and drank. They felt warm and cozy.
+
+They talked to the lady. They learned that she was lonely and had no friends. They told her their names and where they lived. They invited her to come and play with them in the park.
+
+The lady was touched. She thanked them for their kindness. She said she would love to join them. She said they could come and visit her anytime.
+
+They hugged the lady. They said goodbye. They left the house. They went back to the park. They gathered more leaves and made more piles. They played and laughed. They were happy. They had made a new friend.
+Lily and Ben are playing in the garden. They like to look for insects and flowers. Lily sees a ladybug on a leaf. She thinks it is adorable. She picks up the leaf and shows it to Ben.
+
+"Look, Ben, a ladybug! It is red and black and has spots. It is so cute!" Lily says.
+
+Ben looks at the ladybug. He likes it too. He has an idea. He runs to the house and comes back with a hat. He puts the hat on his head. He says to Lily:
+
+"I have a hat. It is blue and has a star. It is cool. Do you want to wear it?"
+
+Lily nods. She likes hats. She gives the leaf with the ladybug to Ben. She takes the hat from him and puts it on her head. She says to Ben:
+
+"Thank you, Ben. I like your hat. It is pretty. Do you want to hold the ladybug?"
+
+Ben nods. He likes ladybugs. He takes the leaf with the ladybug from Lily. He holds it gently in his hand. He says to Lily:
+
+"Thank you, Lily. I like your ladybug. It is adorable. Do you want to play with me?"
+
+Lily nods. She likes to play with Ben. They are good friends. They run and laugh and chase each other in the garden. They wear the hat and hold the ladybug. They have fun.
+Lily loved to watch the jets in the sky. She liked how they made loud noises and left white trails behind them. She wanted to fly in a jet one day and see the clouds up close. She asked her mom and dad if they could go on a jet, but they said it was too expensive and far away.
+
+One day, Lily's dad came home with a big smile and a surprise. He said he had a special job in another city and they could all go on a jet together. Lily was so happy and excited. She packed her favorite toys and clothes in a small bag. She hugged her mom and dad and said she was ready to go.
+
+They drove to the airport and got in a long line. Lily saw many jets on the ground and in the air. She pointed at them and said their colors and shapes. She was not scared at all. She was eager to get on a jet and fly away.
+
+But then, something bad happened. A loud voice said that their jet was broken and they could not fly today. They had to wait for another jet or go back home. Lily's dad looked very worried. He said he had to be in the other city by tomorrow or he would lose his job. He tried to find another jet, but they were all full or too expensive.
+
+Lily felt sad and confused. She did not understand why they could not fly. She wanted to help her dad and make him happy. She realized that flying on a jet was not as fun as she thought. She wished they could just go back home and play with her toys and watch the jets in the sky. She hugged her dad and said she was sorry. She said she loved him and did not need to fly on a jet. She said they could watch the jets in the sky together and pretend they were flying. She said maybe one day they could fly on a jet, but not today.
+
+Lily's dad smiled and hugged her back. He said he was sorry too. He said he loved her and was proud of her. He said she was very smart and brave. He said they would go back home and watch the jets in the sky together. He said maybe one day they could fly on a jet, but not today. He said today they had each other and that was enough.
+Tom and Lily liked to play in the park. They had a ball and a kite. They ran and laughed and had fun. But there was a big dog in the park too. The dog was black and hairy and had sharp teeth. The dog did not like children. He barked and growled and chased them.
+
+Tom and Lily were scared of the dog. They ran away from him. But the dog was fast and strong. He caught up with them. He jumped and bit the kite. He tore it to pieces. Tom and Lily cried. They wanted their kite back.
+
+Then they heard a whistle. It was loud and clear. It came from a man. The man was wearing a blue shirt and a hat. He was the dog's owner. He was looking for the dog. He saw the dog and the children. He was angry and sorry. He called the dog. He said, "Bad dog! Come here! Leave the children alone!"
+
+The dog heard the whistle. He stopped biting the kite. He looked at the man. He was alert. He knew he was in trouble. He ran to the man. He wagged his tail. He tried to act nice. But the man was not fooled. He grabbed the dog. He said, "I'm sorry, kids. He is a naughty dog. He should not have done that. Are you OK?"
+
+Tom and Lily nodded. They were OK. They were not hurt. But they were sad. They looked at their kite. It was ruined. It was on the ground. They could not fly it anymore. The man saw their kite. He felt bad. He said, "I'm sorry, kids. I will buy you a new kite. What color do you like?"
+
+Tom and Lily smiled. They liked the man. He was kind. They said, "We like red and yellow. Thank you, mister."
+
+The man smiled too. He said, "You're welcome, kids. Come on, dog. Let's go home. And no more chasing children!"
+
+He took the dog and left. Tom and Lily picked up their ball. They decided to play with it instead. They still had fun. They forgot about the dog and the kite. They were happy.
+Lily liked to sing. She sang when she woke up, when she played, and when she went to bed. She sang to her toys, her mom, and her dad. She sang happy songs, sad songs, and silly songs.
+
+One day, Lily wanted to sing a new song. She looked around her room for something to sing about. She saw her hairy teddy bear, her yellow butter, and her red ball. She thought for a moment, and then she started to sing.
+
+"This is a song about my hairy teddy bear. He is soft and cuddly and he likes to share. He gives me hugs and kisses and he listens to me. He is my best friend, my hairy teddy bear.
+
+This is a song about my yellow butter. It is smooth and tasty and it makes me flutter. I spread it on my bread and I eat it with a smile. It is my favorite food, my yellow butter.
+
+This is a song about my red ball. It is round and bouncy and it makes me fall. I throw it in the air and I catch it with my hand. It is my funniest toy, my red ball."
+
+Lily sang her song over and over, until her mom came to her room. She smiled and clapped and said, "What a wonderful song, Lily! You are very creative and clever. I love your hairy teddy bear, your yellow butter, and your red ball. And I love you, my sweet Lily."
+
+Lily hugged her mom and said, "Thank you, mom. I love you too. And I love to sing."
+Tom and Lily liked to play by the river. They saw many things in the water. They saw fish and ducks and frogs. They liked to count them.
+
+One day, they saw a big, lazy turtle. It was on a rock in the sun. It did not move much. Tom and Lily wanted to count its legs and toes.
+
+They went closer to the turtle. They said hello. The turtle did not say anything. It closed its eyes. Tom and Lily counted its legs. It had four legs. They counted its toes. It had five toes on each leg.
+
+They were happy. They had counted twenty toes. They said goodbye to the turtle. They went to find more things to count by the river. They had fun. The turtle was still lazy. It did not care. It liked to sleep.
+Tom and Mia are best friends. They like to play in the park every day. They swing, slide, run and laugh. They have a lot of fun.
+
+One day, it is very cold and rainy. Tom and Mia cannot go to the park. They are sad. They stay at home with their moms. They watch TV and read books. But they miss the park.
+
+"Tom, do you remember the park?" Mia asks on the phone.
+
+"Yes, I do. I remember the sound of the birds and the wind. I remember the sound of our voices and the swing. Do you remember?" Tom says.
+
+"Yes, I do. I remember the sound of the water and the leaves. I remember the sound of the slide and the ball. The park is so lively. I wish we could go there now." Mia says.
+
+"Me too. But don't worry. The rain will stop soon. And then we can go to the park again. And we can make more sounds and have more fun." Tom says.
+
+"OK. I hope so. I love the park. And I love you, Tom." Mia says.

+
+They smile and hang up the phone. They wait for the sun to come out. They dream of the park. They are happy.
+Lily and Tom are friends. They like to play in the park. They like to swing, slide and run. One day, they see a big dog in the park. The dog is black and brown. It has a loud bark.
+
+"Look, a dog!" Lily says. "Can we talk to it?"
+
+"I don't know," Tom says. "It looks strong. Maybe it is not nice."
+
+Lily and Tom are not afraid. They walk to the dog. They say hello. The dog wags its tail. It licks their faces. It is a friendly dog.
+
+"Hi, dog!" Lily says. "What is your name?"
+
+The dog barks. It sounds like "Rex".
+
+"Rex, do you want to play with us?" Tom asks.
+
+The dog barks again. It nods its head. It is a happy dog.
+
+Lily and Tom play with Rex. They throw a ball. They run after him. They hug him. They have a good time.
+
+Soon, it is time to go home. Lily and Tom say goodbye to Rex. They thank him for playing with them. They hope to see him again.
+
+"Bye, Rex!" Lily says. "You are a strong and nice dog!"
+
+"Bye, Rex!" Tom says. "You are a fun and smart dog!"
+
+Rex barks. He waves his paw. He is a sad dog. He likes Lily and Tom. He wants them to stay.
+
+But Lily and Tom have to go. They walk to their moms. They tell them about Rex. They ask if they can come back to the park tomorrow.
+
+Their moms smile. They say yes. They are glad that Lily and Tom have a new friend. They are proud of them for being brave and kind.
+
+Lily and Tom are happy. They look forward to seeing Rex again. They know he will be waiting for them. They know he will be their best friend.
+Tom and Mia were playing outside with their ball. They liked to kick the ball to each other and catch it. Sometimes they missed the ball and it rolled away. Then they had to run after it and bring it back.
+
+"Look, Tom, look!" Mia shouted. She pointed to the sky. "What is that?"
+
+Tom looked up and saw a bright light in the sky. It had a long tail and it moved very fast. It was a comet. Tom had seen a picture of a comet in his book. He was very excited.
+
+"It's a comet, Mia! A comet!" he said. "It's a big rock that flies in the sky. It's very rare and very pretty. We are lucky to see it!"
+
+"Wow, a comet!" Mia said. "It's perfect! Can we make a wish on it?"
+
+Tom nodded. He remembered that his book said that some people make wishes on comets. He thought of something he wanted very much.
+
+"OK, let's make a wish. But we have to hurry. The comet will not stay for long. It will go away soon. Close your eyes and say your wish in your head. Don't tell anyone. Then it will come true."
+
+Mia closed her eyes and thought of something she wanted very much. She hoped the comet would hear her wish. Tom closed his eyes and thought of his wish too. They both wished very hard.
+
+They opened their eyes and looked at the sky again. The comet was still there, but it was getting smaller and smaller. It was almost gone.
+
+"Bye, bye, comet!" Mia said. "Thank you for letting us see you. And thank you for our wishes. I hope they come true."
+
+"Bye, bye, comet!" Tom said. "You are the best comet ever. And I hope our wishes come true too."
+
+They hugged each other and smiled. They felt happy and hopeful. They wondered if the comet would come back someday. They hoped it would. They wanted to see it again. And they wanted to make more wishes.
+Lily loved her pony very much. His name was Spot, because he had many spots on his coat. Lily liked to ride Spot in the field and brush his hair. She also gave him apples and carrots to eat.
+
+One day, Lily wanted to play with Spot all day long. She did not listen when her mom told her that Spot needed to rest. She rode him fast and far, and did not let him drink water. She made him jump over fences and rocks, and did not say thank you.
+
+Spot became very tired and thirsty. He felt sad and hurt. He wanted to go back to his stable and sleep. He tried to tell Lily, but she did not hear him. She only wanted to have fun.
+
+Then, Spot stumbled and fell. He twisted his leg and cried out in pain. Lily fell off and scraped her knee. She also cried out in pain. Her mom heard them and ran to help them. She saw that Spot was injured and Lily was bleeding. She was very worried and angry.
+
+She scolded Lily for being selfish and careless. She said that Spot was her friend, not her toy. She said that Lily had to take care of him and respect him. She said that Lily had to say sorry to Spot and help him heal.
+
+Lily felt very sorry and ashamed. She realized that she had been a bad owner and a bad friend. She hugged Spot and said sorry. She gave him water and a blanket. She helped her mom take him to the vet. She promised to be more gentle and kind to him.
+
+Spot forgave Lily and licked her face. He knew that she loved him and learned her lesson. Lily and Spot became closer and happier. They still played in the field, but they also rested and thanked each other. They learned that friendship is about caring and sharing, not about taking and breaking.
+Sam and Tom are brothers. They like to play with cars and trucks. One day, they find a big bottle of oil in the garage. They think it is fun to pour oil on the floor and make slides for their cars and trucks.
+
+"Look, Tom, my car goes very fast on the oil!" Sam says.
+
+"Me too, me too!" Tom says. He pours more oil on the floor and slides his truck.
+
+But Mom is not happy. She sees the oil on the floor and gets very angry. She says oil is not for playing. She says oil is for cooking and for the car. She says oil can make a fire and hurt them.
+
+"Sam, Tom, what are you doing? This is very bad and very dangerous!" Mom says. She has a serious face.
+
+Sam and Tom are scared. They say they are sorry. They did not know oil is bad and dangerous. They only wanted to have fun.
+
+Mom tells them to help her clean the oil. She gives them towels and soap. They rub and rub until the floor is dry. They say sorry again and again.
+
+Mom hugs them and says she loves them. She says they should not play with oil again. She says they should play with water or sand or paint. She says they are good boys.

+Lily was a flower who lived by the river. She liked to look at the water and the fish and the birds. She was happy and kind to the other flowers.
+
+One day, a new flower came to the river. His name was Thorn. He was big and red and had sharp spikes. He was selfish and mean to the other flowers.
+
+Thorn wanted to have the best spot by the river. He pushed Lily and the other flowers away. He said, "This is my place. You go away. I am the best flower. You are ugly and small."
+
+Lily and the other flowers were sad and scared. They did not know what to do. They did not want to fight with Thorn. They wanted to be friends.
+
+Then, something wonderful happened. It was spring, and the sun was warm and bright. Lily and the other flowers started to bloom. They opened their petals and showed their colors. They smelled sweet and looked beautiful.
+
+Thorn did not bloom. He stayed closed and dull. He did not smell good and looked ugly. He was angry and jealous. He said, "Why do you bloom? You are still ugly and small. I am still the best flower."
+
+But the water and the fish and the birds did not agree. They liked Lily and the other flowers. They did not like Thorn. They said, "You are not the best flower. You are selfish and mean. You do not bloom. You do not share. You do not have friends."
+
+Thorn felt lonely and sad. He realized he was wrong. He said, "I am sorry. I was selfish and mean. I want to bloom. I want to share. I want to have friends."
+
+Lily and the other flowers heard Thorn. They felt sorry for him. They said, "It is not too late. You can bloom. You can share. You can have friends. We will help you."
+
+They moved closer to Thorn and gave him some water and some sun. They talked to him and sang to him. They were kind and gentle.
+
+Soon, Thorn started to bloom. He opened his petals and showed his color. He smelled good and looked beautiful. He was happy and grateful. He said, "Thank you. You are the best flowers. You are pretty and big. I am happy and proud. We are friends."

+
+She ran to the kitchen, where her mom was making a cake. She held the penny in her hand and said, "Look, mom, look what I can do!" She put the penny on the counter and pushed it again. But this time, it did not spin. It slid and slid and slid. It slid off the counter and into the cake batter.
+
+"Oh no!" Lily cried. "My penny!" She reached for it, but her mom stopped her. "Don't touch that, Lily, it's hot!" her mom said. "You could get hurt. And you don't put pennies in cakes. That's not good."
+
+Lily felt sad and sorry. She did not mean to ruin the cake. She wanted to be helpful, not naughty. She said, "I'm sorry, mom, I'm sorry. I just wanted to show you how it spins. It was fun. But now it's gone."
+
+Her mom hugged her and said, "It's okay, Lily, it's okay. I know you didn't mean it. Accidents happen. We can get the penny out later, when it cools down. And we can still make a cake. Maybe a different one. How about a chocolate one?"
+
+Lily smiled and said, "Yes, mom, yes. I like chocolate. And I like you. You are helpful. And nice. And I love you."

+But Tim still refuses. He turns off the light and crawls deeper under the bed. He does not want to give up the flashlight.

+
+"I go first," said Ben. He opened the book and pointed to a picture of a big gray animal with a long nose and big ears. "What is this?"

+
+Ben and Lily told their mom about the game and how they wanted to win. Their mom said, "I see. But do you know what the game is really about?"
+
+The twins shook their heads. Their mom said, "The game is not about winning or losing. The game is about learning and sharing. The book has many animals that you don't know.

+
+The twins looked at each other and felt sorry. They realized that their mom was right. They said, "We're sorry, mom. We were wrong. We were too competitive. We want to learn and share and have fun."
+
+Their mom smiled and said, "That's good. I'm proud of you. Now, why don't you pick an animal that you both don't know and try to find out more about it?"
+
+The twins nodded and opened the book. They saw a picture of a big black and white animal with stripes. They said, "What is this?"
+
+Their mom said, "That's a zebra. It's a kind of horse that lives in Africa. It has stripes to hide from predators. Do you want to know more?"
+
+The twins said, "Yes, please. Tell us more."
+
+Their mom said, "Okay. Let me tell you more about the zebra. But first, can you mention another animal that lives in Africa?"
+
+The twins thought for a moment and said, "An elephant!"
+
+Their mom said, "That's right. An elephant lives in Africa too. And do you know what else?"
+
+The twins said, "What else?"

+Sam liked to grow things in his garden. He had carrots, beans, and tomatoes. He was very proud of his tomatoes. They were big and red and juicy. He liked to eat them with salt and cheese.
+
+One day, he saw a big, green bug on one of his tomatoes. He was scared. He ran to his mom and told her. His mom said, "Don't worry, Sam. That is a rare bug. It won't hurt your tomato. It just wants to eat a little bit. Let it have some. It will go away soon."
+
+Sam did not like that. He wanted all his tomatoes for himself. He did not want to share with the bug. He thought his mom was wrong. He grabbed a stick and ran back to his garden.

+
+His mom was not happy. She was angry and sad. She said, "No, Sam. You can't eat it. You ruined your tomato. You wasted your food. You hurt a rare bug. That was very bad. You should have listened to me. You should have let it eat some. Now you have nothing. Go to your room and think about what you did."
+
+Sam was not happy. He was sorry and sad. He cried and cried. He wished he had let the bug eat some of his tomato. He wished he had not been so greedy and mean. He learned a hard lesson. He hoped he would find another rare bug someday. He hoped he would be kinder to it.

+
+The man sighed. He was not so angry anymore. He smiled a little.
+
+"It's okay, kids," he said. "But be careful. Some of this junk is broken or sharp. You could hurt yourself. If you want, you can come to my yard sale tomorrow and see if there is anything you like. Maybe you can find a treasure in the junk."

+
+“Ahoy there!†Pat shouted. But the boat didn't answer. Pat started to jog towards it, thinking he would be able to discover what it was. When Pat got close to the boat, he saw two shady looking pirates waving at him.

+One day, the sun spoke again. "You are getting bigger and stronger," he said. "Why don't you find something to eat?" The plant thought that was a great idea. He searched around, and eventually he found some tasty food.
+
+From then on, the plant ate more and more food each day. As he ate, he grew even bigger and stronger. His branches spread out, and his roots dug down deep into the ground.
+
+Soon, the plant became too big for the pot it was in. He felt uncomfortable and asked the sun for help. The sun said "You need to find a bigger pot".
+
+So the plant searched and searched, until he found a larger pot. He moved himself into the pot, and finally he was comfortable again. He was so happy, and kept growing bigger and stronger every day.

I hope you like it." She sings and dances with all her heart. She makes her mom and dad smile and laugh. They give her a big applause and a hug. They say, "You did a wonderful job, Anna. You are amazing. We are so proud of you."
+
+Anna feels warm and proud. She says, "Thank you, mom and dad. I love you. Can we go to the store now and get a new battery?"
+
+Her mom and dad say, "Yes, we can, Anna. But you know what? You don't really need a battery. You have something better. You have your own voice and your own magic."
+Lily and Sam were best friends. They liked to play in the park every day. One day, they saw some big kids playing baseball. They had bats, gloves and a ball. Lily and Sam wondered what baseball was.
+
+"Can we play with you?" Lily asked the big kids.
+
+"No, you are too small and weak. Baseball is for strong kids only. Go away!" one of the big kids said. He was mean and rude.
+
+Lily and Sam felt sad and angry. They wanted to play baseball too. They thought it looked fun and exciting.
+
+"Let's make our own baseball game!" Sam said. He had an idea.
+
+They found a stick, a pine cone and some rocks. They made a diamond with the rocks. They took turns hitting the pine cone with the stick. They ran around the rocks. They had a lot of fun.
+
+"Wow, you are good at baseball!" Lily said to Sam.
+
+"So are you!" Sam said to Lily.
+
+They smiled and hugged. They did not care what the big kids said. They were strong and happy. They loved baseball.
+Sara and Tom want to go to the shop. They ask Mom if they can go. Mom says yes, but they have to be back soon. She permits them to go.
+
+Sara and Tom walk to the shop. They see many things. They see toys, books, candy, and fruit. They want to buy something. They have some money.
+
+They look at the candy. It is colorful and sweet. They look at the fruit. It is fresh and juicy. They do not know what to choose.
+
+"Can we buy candy?" Tom asks Sara.
+
+"No, candy is not good for us. Mom says so. Let's buy fruit. Fruit is tasty and healthy." Sara says.
+
+"OK, fruit is good. But can we buy one candy too? Just one?" Tom says.
+
+Sara thinks. She likes candy too. But she does not want to make Mom angry. She says, "OK, one candy. But only one. And we have to brush our teeth later."
+
+They buy some fruit and one candy. They pay the shopkeeper. They say thank you. They walk back home.
+
+They eat the fruit. It is tasty. They share the candy. It is sweet. They are happy.
+
+They see Mom. She smiles. She says, "Did you have fun at the shop?"
+
+"Yes, Mom. We bought fruit and one candy. The fruit was tasty. The candy was sweet. We will brush our teeth later." Sara and Tom say.
+
+Mom hugs them. She says, "I'm proud of you. You made good choices. You can go to the shop again."
+Lily was playing with her dolls in her room. She liked to make them talk and have tea parties. She had a pink teapot and some cups and saucers. She poured some water from the teapot and pretended it was tea. She gave some to her dolls and said, "Here you go, my friends. This is delicious tea. Do you like it?"
+
+She heard a knock on the door. She said, "Who is it?" She hoped it was her mom or dad. She liked when they played with her. She heard a voice say, "It's me, your brother. Can I come in?" Lily frowned. She did not like her brother. He was mean and noisy. He always took her toys and broke them. She said, "No, go away. I'm busy."
+
+She heard the door open anyway. She saw her brother appear in her room. He had a big smile on his face. He was holding something behind his back. He said, "Hi, Lily. I have a surprise for you. Do you want to see it?" Lily felt scared. She did not trust her brother. She said, "No, I don't. Leave me alone."
+
+Her brother ignored her. He moved his hand from behind his back. He showed her what he had. It was a big, green frog. It was slimy and wet. It croaked loudly. Lily screamed. She hated frogs. They were gross and scary. She said, "Ew, get that away from me. That's not a surprise. That's a trick."
+
+Her brother laughed. He said, "It's not a trick. It's a wonder. Look how cool it is. It can jump and swim and eat bugs. Don't you want to touch it?" He moved the frog closer to Lily. Lily cried. She threw her teapot at him. She said, "No, I don't. Go away. You're a bad brother."
+
+The teapot hit her brother on the head. He dropped the frog. It hopped away. He said, "Ow, that hurt. You're a mean sister." He ran out of the room. Lily was glad. She picked up her dolls and hugged them. She said, "I'm sorry, my friends. That was a bad surprise. Let's have some more tea. This is delicious tea. Do you like it?"
+Lila and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big hill with a temple on top. The temple is old and has many doors and windows.
+
+"Let's go to the temple!" Ben says. "Maybe we can find something fun inside."
+
+"OK, but we have to be careful. The temple might be dangerous." Lila says. "And we have to be back before dark."
+
+They climb the hill and enter the temple. It is dark and quiet inside. They see many statues and paintings and pots. They also see many places to hide.
+
+"Let's play hide and seek!" Lila says. "You count to ten and I will hide."
+
+"OK, but don't go too far." Ben says. He closes his eyes and starts to count.
+
+Lila runs to find a good hiding spot. She sees a little door that leads to a small room. She thinks it is a good place to hide. She opens the door and goes inside. She closes the door behind her.
+
+But the door is not a real door. It is a trap. As soon as Lila closes it, it locks and she cannot open it again. She hears a loud noise and feels the floor moving. She is scared.
+
+"Ben! Ben! Help me!" She shouts. "I'm in the little room!"
+
+Ben hears Lila's voice. He stops counting and runs to find her. He sees the little door and tries to open it. But it is locked and he cannot open it. He hears the loud noise and feels the floor moving. He is scared too.
+
+"Lila! Lila! I'm here! Don't worry!" He shouts. "I will find a way to get you out!"
+
+He looks around and sees a big lever on the wall. He thinks it might be the key to the trap. He pulls the lever and hopes it will work.
+Poppy was a small dog who liked to play with his friends. He had a red ball that he loved very much. He always brought it with him to the park, where he met other dogs and ran around.
+
+One day, he saw a big dog who had a blue ball. Poppy thought the blue ball looked very fun. He wanted to try it. He ran up to the big dog and barked.
+
+"Can I play with your ball?" he asked.
+
+The big dog looked at Poppy and growled. He did not like to share his ball.
+
+"No, you can't. This is my ball. It belongs to me. Go away!" he said.
+
+Poppy felt sad and scared. He ran back to his red ball. He picked it up and hugged it. He was glad he had his own ball. It belonged to him.
+
+But then he heard a loud noise. He looked up and saw the big dog running towards him. He had his blue ball in his mouth. He wanted to take Poppy's red ball too.
+
+"Give me your ball!" he shouted.
+
+Poppy was very afraid. He did not want to lose his red ball. He tried to run away, but the big dog was faster. He caught up with Poppy and bit his tail.
+
+"Ow!" Poppy cried.
+
+He dropped his red ball and the big dog grabbed it. He had both balls now. He laughed and ran away.
+
+Poppy felt very sad and hurt. He had no ball to play with. He felt embarrassed. He wondered if his friends would laugh at him too.
+
+But then he heard a friendly voice. It was his best friend, Daisy. She was a small cat who liked to play with Poppy. She had a yellow ball that she loved very much. She always brought it with her to the park, where she met Poppy and other animals.
+
+"Poppy, are you okay?" she asked.
+
+She saw Poppy's tail and his tears. She felt sorry for him.
+
+"That big dog was very mean. He took your ball. He should not do that. That was your ball. It belonged to you." she said.
+
+She nuzzled Poppy and licked his tail. She made him feel better.
+
+"Here, you can play with my ball. I don't mind. We can share it. It belongs to both of us. We are friends." she said.
+
+She gave Poppy her yellow ball. Poppy smiled and wagged his tail. He was happy again.
+
+"Thank you, Daisy. You are very kind. You are my best friend." he said.
+
+They played with the yellow ball together. They had fun. They did not care about the big dog or his balls. They had each other. They belonged together.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They saw a big tree with many flowers. They wanted to smell the flowers and see if there were bees.
+
+Lily climbed on a branch and reached for a flower. She saw a bee flying out of it. She was not scared. She liked bees. They made honey. Honey was sweet and yummy.
+
+Ben wanted to climb too. He followed Lily on the branch. But he was not careful. He stepped on a weak spot and the branch broke. He fell down with a loud thud.
+
+"Ouch!" he cried. "That hurt!"
+
+Lily looked down and saw Ben on the ground. She was worried. She wanted to help him. But she did not know how to get down. She was stuck on the tree.
+
+"Ben, are you okay?" she called.
+
+"I'm okay, but I'm smelly," he said. "I fell on some mud. And there is something sticky on my head."
+
+Lily saw that Ben had honey on his head. The branch had broken a honeycomb and the honey had spilled on him.
+
+"Ben, you have honey on your head!" she said. "That's why you are smelly. The bees will come and want their honey back."
+
+Ben was scared. He did not like bees anymore. They could sting him. He wanted to get rid of the honey.
+
+"Lily, help me!" he said. "How can I get the honey off?"
+
+Lily thought hard. She had an idea. She saw a bucket near the tree. It had water in it.
+
+"Ben, I have an idea," she said. "See that bucket? It has water. You can use the water to wash the honey off."
+
+Ben saw the bucket. He was happy. He ran to the bucket and dipped his head in it. The water was cold and wet. He rubbed his head and the honey came off.
+
+"Yay, I did it!" he said. "The honey is gone. I'm not smelly anymore."
+
+Lily was happy too. She wanted to get down from the tree. She saw a ladder near the tree. It had been left by the gardener. She used the ladder to get down.
+
+She was careful. She did not want to fall. She balanced on the ladder and climbed down. She reached the ground and hugged Ben.
+
+"Ben, I'm so glad you are okay," she said. "And I'm sorry I made you climb the tree. It was not a good idea."
+
+Ben hugged her back. He was not mad at her. He loved her. She was his sister.
+
+"It's okay, Lily," he said. "It was an adventure. And we learned something. We learned that bees make honey. And that honey is sweet and yummy. But also sticky and smelly. And that we should not touch it."
+
+They laughed and went back to their house. They told their mom what had happened. She was not angry. She was proud. They had been brave and smart. She gave them a hug and a cookie. They ate the cookie and smiled. It was a good day.
+Lia and Tom are playing with blocks in their room. They like to build towers and houses and cars. But Tom is bored of blocks. He sees a cell on the shelf. It is round and shiny and has two wires. He wants to see what it does.
+
+He takes the cell and puts one wire on the lamp and one wire on the metal bed. He thinks it will make the lamp light up. But it does not. He tries again and again. He does not see the smoke coming from the cell. He does not hear Lia saying, "Stop, Tom, stop!"
+
+Suddenly, the cell makes a loud pop and a bright flash. It burns Tom's hand and the bed. Tom screams and drops the cell. Lia runs to him and hugs him. She is scared and sad. She says, "Tom, you are hurt! Why did you do that? The cell is not a toy. It is for daddy's car. It has fire inside. It is dangerous!"
+
+Tom cries and says, "I'm sorry, Lia. I did not know. I wanted to see the light. It looked fun. But it was not. It was bad. It hurt me and the bed. I'm sorry, Lia. I'm sorry."
+
+Lia says, "It's okay, Tom. I forgive you. But you have to be careful. You have to listen to me. I am your big sister. I know more things. I can help you. Come, let's go to mommy. She will make your hand better. She will love you. And I love you, too."
+
+They hold hands and go to mommy. Mommy sees the smoke and the burn and the cell. She is angry and worried. She says, "What happened here? Who did this? How did you get the cell?"
+
+Lia and Tom tell her the truth. They say they are sorry. They say they learned their lesson. Mommy is still angry, but she is also glad. She says, "I'm glad you are not more hurt. I'm glad you told me the truth. I'm glad you love each other. But you have to be more careful. You have to ask me before you touch anything. You have to follow the rules. You have to be safe."
+
+She hugs them and kisses them. She puts some cream and a bandage on Tom's hand. She says, "I love you, Lia. I love you, Tom. But no more playing with cells. Okay?"
+
+They say, "Okay, mommy. We love you, too. We are sorry. We will be good."
+
+They go back to their room. They play with blocks again. They do not touch the cell. They do not want to burn anything. They want to be happy and light.
+Tim and Sue went to the zoo with Mom and Dad. They saw many animals, like lions, monkeys, and birds. But their favorite was the seal. The seal was humble and friendly. He did not roar or jump or bite. He just swam and played with a ball.
+
+"Can we have a seal, Mom?" Tim asked. "He is so nice and cute."
+
+Mom smiled and shook her head. "No, Tim, we cannot have a seal. Seals need a lot of water and fish and space. They are happy in the zoo, where they have friends and keepers who take care of them."
+
+"But I want a seal, Mom," Sue said. "He can be my friend and play with me."
+
+Mom hugged Sue and said, "I know, Sue, but seals are not pets. They are wild animals. They belong to the sea, not to our home. You can be their friend by visiting them and learning about them, but you cannot have them."
+
+Tim and Sue felt sad, but they understood. They waved goodbye to the seal and thanked him for his show. The seal waved back and smiled. He was humble and happy, too. He had a good home and many friends. He did not need anything else.

+
+Tim and Jen are polite. They say, "Hello, Sam. We are Tim and Jen. This is our wheel. We can share it with you, if you want. But you have to wait for your turn."

+Lily and Tom are hungry. They want to eat some food. They see a big tree with red and green apples. The apples look lovely and sweet.
+
+"Let's pick some apples!" Lily says to Tom. "We can make a yummy pie with them."
+
+They run to the tree and try to reach the apples. But the apples are too high. They cannot pick them.
+
+"Maybe we can use a stick," Tom says. He finds a long stick and tries to poke the apples. But the stick is too short. He cannot pick them.
+
+"Maybe we can climb the tree," Lily says. She finds a low branch and tries to pull herself up. But the branch is too slippery. She cannot pick them.
+
+They are sad. They cannot pick any apples. They sit under the tree and sigh.
+
+Then they hear a voice. "Hello, children. Do you want some apples?"
+
+They look up and see a friendly farmer. He has a big basket full of apples. He smiles and walks to them.
+
+"I saw you trying to pick some apples. But they are too high for you. I have plenty of apples here. You can have some if you like."
+
+"Really?" Lily and Tom say. They are happy. They thank the farmer and take some apples.

+They are not hungry anymore. They are glad they met the farmer. He is very kind. They decide to make a pie for him next time. They run home with their apples.
+One day, a little girl named Mia wanted to see the world. She asked her mom, "Can we go outside and see the world, mom?"
+
+Her mom smiled and said, "Yes, we can, Mia. But we have to be patient. The world is very big and there are many things to see. We can't see them all in one day."
+
+Mia nodded and said, "Okay, mom. I will be patient. But can we see the flowers and the birds and the trees?"
+
+Her mom said, "Yes, we can, Mia. Come, let's put on our shoes and coats and go outside."
+
+Mia and her mom went outside and saw the world. They saw the flowers and the birds and the trees. They also saw the sun and the clouds and the sky. Mia was very happy and said, "The world is so beautiful, mom. Thank you for showing me the world."

+Her mom hugged her and said, "You're welcome, Mia. I'm glad you like the world. And I'm proud of you for being patient. You are a very good girl."
+Mia and Ben are twins. They like to play with toys and make things with paper and glue. Today is their birthday. They are very happy.
+
+Mama and Papa give them a big box. They open it together. Inside the box, there are many things. There are books, crayons, stickers, and puzzles. There is also a big bottle of glue.
+
+"Wow, look at all these things!" Mia says. "We can make so many things with glue!"
+
+"Yes, we can!" Ben says. "But we have to share the glue. It is fair."
+
+Mia and Ben nod. They agree to share the glue. They take out some paper and crayons. They draw pictures of their family and their pets. Then they use the glue to stick stickers on their pictures. They make them very pretty.
+
+Mama and Papa smile. They are proud of Mia and Ben. They hug them and say, "Happy birthday, Mia and Ben! We love you very much. You are very good at sharing and making things with glue."

+Ben says, "No, I don't want to look at your skull. It is not cool. It is bad. I want to play with my car. It is fast and shiny. It can go vroom vroom and make you happy."
+
+Sam says, "No, your car is not cool. It is boring. It can only go on the floor. My skull can go anywhere. It can fly and scare you. Watch this."
+
+Sam throws his skull at Ben. Ben dodges the skull. He is angry and scared. He says, "Stop it, Sam. You are mean. You are not my brother. You are a monster."
+
+Ben grabs his car and runs out of the room. Sam is sad and sorry. He says, "Come back, Ben. I am sorry. I was only playing. You are my brother. I love you."

+Lily and Sam were twins who liked to play together. They had many toys, but their favorite was a big red ball. They liked to bounce it, roll it, and throw it in the air.
+
+One day, the ball went too high and landed on the roof of their house. Lily and Sam were sad. They could not reach the ball. They asked their mom and dad to help them, but they were busy. They asked their big brother, but he said no. They asked their dog, but he could not climb.
+
+Lily had an idea. She said to Sam, "Let's pray to God. Maybe he will help us get our ball back." Sam nodded. They closed their eyes and folded their hands. They said, "Dear God, please help us get our ball back. We love our ball and we miss it. Thank you. Amen."
+
+They opened their eyes and looked at the roof. The ball was still there. They felt disappointed. Sam said, "Maybe God did not hear us. Let's try again." Lily agreed.

+
+They opened their eyes and looked at the roof. The ball was still there. They felt angry. Sam said, "Maybe God does not care. Let's try again." Lily shook her head. She said, "No, Sam. I don't think praying will work. We need to find another way."
+
+Sam looked at Lily. He saw that she was persistent. He said, "Okay, Lily. What is your idea?" Lily smiled. She said, "Follow me." She ran to the garage and got a ladder. She carried it to the side of the house and leaned it against the wall. She climbed up the ladder and reached the roof. She grabbed the ball and threw it down to Sam. Sam caught the ball and cheered.

+
+They ran to the backyard and played with their ball. They were happy. They thanked God for giving them their ball and their idea. They learned that praying is good, but sometimes they also need to work hard and be persistent.

+"Yuck!" she said, spitting out the melon. "This is not good!"
+
+Just then, a man came out of a nearby house. He saw Lila and Tom with his melon. He was angry and shouted at them.
+
+"Hey, you! That's my melon! What are you doing with it? Give it back to me!"
+
+Lila and Tom were scared and sorry. They dropped the melon and ran away.
+
+"I'm sorry, mister!" Lila said.
+
+"Me too!" Tom said.
+
+They learned a lesson that day. They should not take things that are not theirs. And they should always ask before they eat something new.
+Lily liked to feed the pigeons in the park. She had some bread that she broke into small pieces and threw on the ground. The pigeons came and ate the bread. They made soft cooing sounds and flapped their wings.
+
+One day, a big dog came to the park. He saw the pigeons and ran after them. He barked loud and tried to catch them. The pigeons were scared and flew away. Lily was sad and angry. She shouted at the dog.
+
+"Go away, dog! You are bad and mean! You make the pigeons go away! They are my friends!"
+
+The dog did not listen. He kept chasing the pigeons. He wanted to play with them, but he did not know how to be gentle. He was harsh and rough.
+
+Lily ran to her mom, who was sitting on a bench. She told her what happened. Her mom hugged her and said,
+
+"I'm sorry, Lily. The dog does not know better. He thinks the pigeons are toys. But they are not. They are living things that feel pain and fear. We have to part from them and let them be."
+
+Lily nodded. She understood. She still liked the pigeons, but she knew they needed space and peace. She hoped they would come back another day. She and her mom left the park and went home.
+Tom and Mia were playing in the park. They saw a big tree with many leaves. They liked the tree. They wanted to climb the tree.
+
+"Can we climb the tree?" Tom asked Mia.
+
+"Yes, let's climb the tree!" Mia said.
+
+They climbed the tree. They saw a bird's nest on a branch. They saw three eggs in the nest. They were blue and speckled. They were pretty.
+
+"Look, eggs!" Tom said.
+
+"Wow, eggs!" Mia said.
+
+They touched the eggs. They were warm. They heard a loud squawk. They looked up. They saw a big bird. It was angry. It was the mother bird.
+
+"Go away, go away!" the bird said.
+
+Tom and Mia were scared. They dropped the eggs. The eggs fell to the ground. They broke. They saw the baby birds inside. They were dead.
+
+"Uh-oh, uh-oh!" Tom said.
+
+"Sorry, sorry!" Mia said.
+
+They climbed down the tree. They ran away. They felt bad. They hurt the bird and the eggs.
+
+They went to their mom. They told her what happened. She was sad. She hugged them.
+
+"It's okay, it's okay," she said. "You didn't mean to do it. But you have to be careful. The eggs were the bird's babies. They were alive. Now they are dead. You can't restore them. You can't make them alive again."
+
+Tom and Mia nodded. They understood. They said sorry to the bird in their hearts. They hoped the bird would find new eggs and new babies. They learned to respect the wonder of life. They never touched the eggs again.
+Lily and Max were having a picnic with their mom and dad. They had sandwiches, cheese, grapes, and cookies. Lily saw a small, round, green thing on her mom's sandwich. She asked, "What is that?"
+
+Mom smiled and said, "That is an olive. It is a fruit that grows on a tree. Some people like to eat it, but some people don't. Do you want to try it?"
+
+Lily was curious. She took the olive from her mom's sandwich and bit it. She made a face and said, "Yuck! It is sour and salty. I don't like it."
+
+Max laughed and said, "I like olives. They are yummy and crunchy. Can I have yours, Lily?"
+
+Lily gave the olive to Max and said, "Here, you can have it. I like grapes better. They are sweet and juicy."
+
+Mom said, "That's okay, Lily. Everyone has different tastes. You don't have to like everything. But it is good to try new things sometimes. You are a brave girl."
+
+Lily smiled and said, "Thank you, Mom. Can I have a cookie now?"
+
+Mom nodded and said, "Yes, you can. But only one. You don't want to get too chubby."
+
+Lily and Max giggled and shared a cookie. They enjoyed their picnic and had fun.
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play together. They have many toys in their room. But today they are bored. They do not want to play with their toys.
+
+"Let's go to the kitchen," Lily says. "Maybe Mom has a snack for us."
+
+"OK," Ben says. They go to the kitchen. They see Mom. She is busy. She is making a cake. She has eggs, flour, sugar, and butter on the table.
+
+"Hi, Mom," Lily and Ben say. "Can we have a snack?"
+
+Mom smiles. She says, "Not now, my loves. I am busy. I am making a cake for Dad. It is his birthday. You can have a snack later. Why don't you go to the living room and listen to some music?"
+
+Lily and Ben nod. They go to the living room. They turn on the radio. They hear a song. They like the song. They start to dance. They jump and spin and clap. They have fun.
+
+But soon they feel hungry. Their stomachs make noises. They look at each other.
+
+"I want a snack," Lily says.
+
+"Me too," Ben says.
+
+They go back to the kitchen. They see Mom. She is still busy. She is putting the cake in the oven. She has frosting and sprinkles on the table.
+
+"Mom, can we have a snack now?" Lily and Ben ask.
+
+Mom looks at them. She sees their hungry faces. She says, "OK, OK. You can have a snack now. But only a small one. You don't want to spoil your appetite for the cake. Here, have some crackers and cheese. And some juice. But be careful. Don't make a mess."
+
+Lily and Ben say, "Thank you, Mom." They take the crackers and cheese and juice. They sit on the floor. They eat their snack. They are happy. They love Mom. They love Dad. They love cake. They can't wait to sing happy birthday.
+Ben and Lily were playing soccer in the park. They wanted to win a trophy. They kicked the ball hard and ran fast. They had fun.
+
+But then a big dog came. The dog was fierce. It barked loud and chased the ball. Ben and Lily were scared. They ran away from the dog.
+
+"Help, help!" they said. "The dog is fierce! It wants our ball!"
+
+A man heard them. He was the dog's owner. He called the dog. The dog came back to him. He put a leash on the dog.
+
+"I'm sorry," he said. "My dog likes soccer too. He didn't mean to scare you. He just wanted to play."
+
+He gave the ball back to Ben and Lily. He also gave them a trophy. It was a toy trophy. It had a dog on it.
+
+"Here," he said. "You can have this trophy. You played well. And you were brave."
+
+Ben and Lily smiled. They thanked the man. They liked the trophy. They liked the dog too. They were not scared anymore.
+
+They went back to playing soccer. They shared the trophy. They had fun.
+Lily and Tom were playing with their toys in the living room. They had a lot of fun making noises and pretending to be animals. Lily was a lion and Tom was a monkey. They roared and jumped around the sofa and the table.
+
+But then, Mom came in and said, "Kids, it's time to get ready for bed. You have to brush your teeth and put on your pajamas."
+
+Lily and Tom did not want to stop playing. They liked their game too much. They said, "No, Mom, we want to play more. Just a little more, please."
+
+Mom said, "No, you have to go to bed now. It's late and you need to sleep. Come on, let's go to the bathroom."
+
+Lily and Tom tried to delay Mom. They hid behind the chair and the curtain. They said, "You can't find us, Mom. We are invisible. We are not here."
+
+Mom said, "Don't be silly, kids. I can see you. You are not invisible. You are just hiding. Come out and follow me."
+
+Lily and Tom came out, but they were not happy. They pouted and dragged their feet. They said, "This is stupid, Mom. We don't want to go to bed. We want to play."
+
+Mom said, "I know, kids, but you have to go to bed. It's good for you. You will have sweet dreams and wake up happy. And you can play again tomorrow. Now, give me a hug and a kiss and say good night."
+
+Lily and Tom hugged and kissed Mom. They said, "Good night, Mom. We love you."
+
+Mom said, "I love you too, kids. Sleep tight and don't let the bedbugs bite."
+
+Lily and Tom went to their room and got into their beds. They closed their eyes and fell asleep. They dreamed of lions and monkeys and more fun games.
+Tom and Sue are playing in the park. They like to slide, swing and run. They see a big sign that says "Exit". They do not know what it means.
+
+"Let's go there!" Tom says. He runs to the sign and points at it.
+
+"Maybe it is a fun place!" Sue says. She follows Tom and they go through the exit.
+
+They find themselves in a busy street. There are many cars and bikes and people. They are scared and confused. They hear a loud horn and see a big truck coming fast.
+
+"Look out!" Sue screams. She grabs Tom and pulls him back. They jump to the sidewalk and fall down.
+
+The truck passes by and makes a lot of noise. Tom and Sue are shaking and crying. They see a man lying on the road. He is not moving. He is dead.
+
+"Help! Help!" Tom and Sue shout. They want to go back to the park. They want their mom and dad.
+
+A lady hears them and comes to them. She is kind and gentle. She picks them up and hugs them.
+
+"Don't worry, little ones. I will help you. What are your names? Where are your parents?" She asks.
+
+"Tom and Sue. We are from the park. We went through the exit. We saw a bad thing. We are sorry." They say.
+
+"It's not your fault. You didn't know. The exit is for grown-ups only. It leads to the street. It is dangerous. You should never go there again. Come with me. I will take you back to the park. I will find your parents. They must be very worried." She says.
+
+She holds their hands and walks with them. She is nice and friendly. She tells them stories and jokes. She makes them laugh and smile. They feel better and safer.
+
+They reach the park and see their mom and dad. They are happy and relieved. They run to them and hug them.
+
+"Mom! Dad! We are sorry! We went through the exit! We saw a bad thing! We were scared!" They say.
+
+"Tom! Sue! We are so glad you are okay! We were looking for you! We were scared too! What happened? Who is this lady?" They say.
+
+The lady explains everything. She says she is a nurse and she was on her way to work. She says she saw the accident and tried to help. She says she found Tom and Sue and brought them back. She says they are brave and smart.
+
+The mom and dad thank the lady. They say she is a hero and a friend. They say they are very grateful. They invite her to join them for a picnic. She says yes.
+
+They all sit on a blanket and eat sandwiches and cookies. They talk and laugh and have fun. They forget about the bad thing. They are happy and safe. They are a big family.
+Lily was a gifted girl. She could draw, sing, and dance very well. She liked to make things for her friends and family. One day, she wanted to make a card for her brother Ben, who was sick in bed.
+
+She took some paper, crayons, and stickers. She drew a big heart and wrote "I love you, Ben". She also drew a funny monster with horns, teeth, and spots. She thought Ben would like the monster. She put some stickers on the card and smiled.
+
+She went to Ben's room and knocked on the door. "Ben, I have something for you," she said. She opened the door and saw Ben lying on his bed. He looked sad and tired.
+
+"Hi, Lily," he said weakly. "What do you have?"
+
+Lily showed him the card. "I made this for you. It's a monster. He's your friend. He will make you feel better."
+
+Ben looked at the card and smiled. He liked the monster. He thought it was funny and cute. He took the card and hugged Lily. "Thank you, Lily. You are a gifted girl. You made me happy."
+
+Lily hugged him back. She was happy too. She wanted Ben to get well soon. She said, "You're welcome, Ben. I love you. And the monster loves you too."
+Tom and Lily want to go to the park. They ask Mom to take them. Mom says yes, but first they have to eat some food. She gives them soup and bread. Tom and Lily do not like soup and bread. They want candy and cake.
+
+"Soup and bread are stupid!" Tom says. He pushes his bowl away.
+
+"No, they are not. They are good for you. Candy and cake are bad for you. They make you sick." Mom says. She tries to make Tom eat his soup.
+
+Lily eats her soup and bread. She likes them. She wants to go to the park soon. She does not want to wait for Tom.
+
+"Tom, please eat your soup and bread. Then we can go to the park and play. There are swings and slides and sand. It will be fun." Lily says.
+
+Tom looks at Lily. He looks at the park outside the window. He wants to play too. He does not want to be left behind. He picks up his spoon and eats his soup and bread. He does not like them, but he eats them anyway.
+
+"Good boy, Tom. You ate your soup and bread. Now we can go to the park." Mom says. She puts on their coats and shoes. She takes them to the park.
+
+Tom and Lily are happy. They run and jump and laugh. They play on the swings and slides and sand. They forget about the soup and bread. They have fun at the park.
+Lily and Sam wanted to see the parade. They put on their hats and coats and went outside with Mom. They walked to the big street where the parade was. They saw many people and cars and flags and balloons.
+
+"Look, Sam, a big red truck!" Lily said. She pointed to the fire truck that was in the parade. It had a loud siren and a shiny ladder.
+
+"I want to touch it!" Sam said. He ran to the fire truck, but Mom stopped him.
+
+"No, Sam, you can't touch it. It's not safe. And it's dirty. See the mud on the wheels?" Mom said. She held Sam's hand and brought him back to Lily.
+
+Sam was sad. He wanted to touch the fire truck. He liked big things that made noise.
+
+"Maybe you can touch something else, Sam. Look, there's a clown!" Lily said. She saw a man in a funny costume and a big red nose. He was throwing candy to the children.
+
+"Can I touch him?" Sam asked.
+
+"Maybe. But you have to ask him first. And say please and thank you," Mom said.
+
+Sam nodded. He walked to the clown and said, "Hello, clown. Can I touch your nose, please?"
+
+The clown smiled and bent down. He let Sam touch his nose. It was soft and squeaky.
+
+"Thank you, clown. Your nose is funny," Sam said.
+
+"You're welcome, Sam. You're very polite," the clown said. He gave Sam a candy and a sticker.
+
+Sam was happy. He touched the clown's nose and got a candy and a sticker. He ran back to Lily and Mom and showed them.
+
+"Wow, Sam, that's awesome!" Lily said.
+
+"Good job, Sam. You were very brave and nice," Mom said.
+
+They hugged and watched the rest of the parade. They saw many more things that they liked, but they didn't touch them. They just looked and smiled and clapped. They had a lot of fun.
+Sara liked to study. She liked to look at books and learn new things. She had many books in her room. Some books had pictures of animals, some books had stories, and some books had numbers and letters.
+
+One day, Sara found a book that was different. It had pictures of a man who could do many things with his body. He could bend his legs and arms and twist his back. He could stand on his hands and feet and make shapes. He could even put his feet behind his head. Sara was amazed. She wanted to do what the man could do.
+
+She tried to copy the man in the book. She tried to bend her legs and arms and twist her back. She tried to stand on her hands and feet and make shapes. She tried to put her feet behind her head. But she could not do it. She felt sad and frustrated.
+
+She showed the book to her mom and said, "Mom, look at this man. He is so flexible. He can do many things with his body. I want to be like him. But I can't do it. Why can't I do it?"
+
+Her mom smiled and hugged her. She said, "Sara, you are a wonderful girl. You are smart and curious and brave. You like to study and learn new things. That is very good. But you can't do everything that the man in the book can do. He is a special man. He has practiced a lot to be so flexible. He has trained his body and his mind. He has worked hard and had fun. You can't do what he can do right now, but you can try. You can practice and train and work hard and have fun. You can be flexible in your own way. And you can be proud of yourself for trying. Do you want to try with me?"
+
+Sara nodded and smiled. She said, "Yes, mom. I want to try with you. Thank you for helping me. I love you."
+
+Her mom said, "I love you too, Sara. Let's try together."
+
+They opened the book and looked at the pictures. They tried to copy the man in the book. They bent their legs and arms and twisted their backs. They stood on their hands and feet and made shapes. They even tried to put their feet behind their heads. They could not do everything that the man could do, but they did some things. They laughed and cheered and clapped. They had fun. They were flexible.
+One day, Tom and Lily went to the park with their mom. They saw many flowers and trees and birds. They also saw some bugs on the grass. Tom liked bugs. He wanted to catch them and look at them. Lily did not like bugs. She thought they were icky and scary.
+
+"Look, Lily, a big bug!" Tom said. He ran to a thick, green bug with long legs and wings. He picked it up and held it in his hand. He showed it to Lily.
+
+"Yuck, Tom, put it down!" Lily said. She backed away from Tom and the bug. She did not want to touch it or see it.
+
+"No, Lily, it is cool. It can fly and jump and make noise. Do you want to hear it?" Tom said. He brought the bug closer to his ear and listened. The bug made a loud, buzzing sound.
+
+"Tom, no, stop it! That is gross!" Lily said. She covered her ears and closed her eyes. She wished Tom would leave the bug alone.
+
+Tom smiled. He liked the bug and its sound. He wondered what it would taste like. He opened his mouth and put the bug in it. He tried to eat it.
+
+"Tom, what are you doing? Spit it out!" Lily said. She opened her eyes and saw Tom with the bug in his mouth. She was shocked and scared. She ran to their mom and told her what Tom did.
+
+Mom heard Lily and saw Tom. She was surprised and worried. She ran to Tom and took the bug out of his mouth. She threw it away and checked Tom's mouth. She was glad he did not swallow it.
+
+"Tom, that was very naughty. You do not eat bugs. They are not food. They can make you sick. Do you understand?" Mom said. She was angry and stern.
+
+Tom nodded. He did not understand why he could not eat bugs. He thought they were fun and tasty. He was sorry he made Mom and Lily upset. He said he was sorry and hugged them.
+
+Mom and Lily hugged Tom back. They were glad he was okay. They decided to leave the park and go home. They did not want to see any more bugs. They wanted to eat some real food. They hoped Tom would not eat any more bugs.
+One day, Tom and Lily went to the park with their mom. They saw a big tree with many flowers and bees. Tom liked the bees and wanted to get closer. He said, "Look, Lily, the bees are busy and make honey. Can we see their hive?"
+
+Lily was scared of the bees and said, "No, Tom, the bees will sting us if we go near. They do not like us to touch their hive. It is their home and it is unique. No other hive is like theirs. Let us play somewhere else."
+
+But Tom did not listen to Lily. He walked to the tree and tried to whistle like a bee. He thought the bees would like him and let him see their hive. He whistled louder and louder, but the bees did not like it. They thought Tom was a bad noise and wanted to chase him away. They flew out of their hive and buzzed around Tom.
+
+Tom was scared and ran away. He cried, "Help, help, the bees are after me!" Lily and mom heard him and ran to him. Mom hugged Tom and said, "Shh, shh, it is okay. The bees are gone. You are safe. But you should not whistle at the bees. They do not like it. You should respect their hive and leave them alone. They are unique and special, just like you."
+
+Tom said, "I am sorry, mom. I did not know. I just wanted to see their hive. It looked so pretty and sweet." Mom said, "I know, Tom. But you can see their hive from far away. You do not need to whistle at them. You can whistle at the birds or the flowers. They will like it more." Tom said, "Okay, mom. I will whistle at the birds and the flowers. And I will not bother the bees again." Lily said, "That is good, Tom. Come on, let us play on the swings. They are fun and do not sting." Tom and Lily smiled and went to the swings. They had a good time at the park.
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play pretend. Today, they pretend to be famous teachers at a big university. They gather their toys and books and put them in a big pile. They take turns to teach their toys and books what they know.
+
+"Hello, toys and books," Lily says. "I am Lily. I am a famous teacher. I will teach you about colors. This is red. This is blue. This is yellow. Can you say the colors with me?"
+
+The toys and books nod and repeat the colors. Lily smiles and claps. She gives them stickers.
+
+"Now, it is Ben's turn," Lily says. She gives Ben a hat and a pointer. Ben puts on the hat and picks up the pointer.
+
+"Hello, toys and books," Ben says. "I am Ben. I am a famous teacher. I will teach you about animals. This is a dog. This is a cat. This is a bird. Can you make the sounds of the animals with me?"
+
+The toys and books nod and make the sounds. Ben smiles and claps. He gives them candy.
+
+Lily and Ben are happy. They like to be famous teachers at a big university. They hug their toys and books and say thank you. They put them back in their places and go to have lunch. They wonder what they will pretend to be tomorrow.
+Sam and Lily were best friends. They liked to play with rubber toys. They had rubber ducks, rubber balls, rubber cars and rubber animals. They had a lot of fun with them.
+
+One day, Sam and Lily went to the park with their rubber toys. They saw a big slide, a swing, a seesaw and a sandbox. They wanted to try them all. They left their rubber toys on a bench and ran to the slide.
+
+"Look at me, Lily!" Sam shouted as he slid down. "I'm so fast!"
+
+"Me too, Sam!" Lily said as she followed him. "I'm so brave!"
+
+They laughed and went to the swing. They pushed each other higher and higher. They felt like they were flying.
+
+"Wow, Sam! You're so high!" Lily said.
+
+"Wow, Lily! You're so strong!" Sam said.
+
+They smiled and went to the seesaw. They bounced up and down. They felt like they were jumping.
+
+"Yay, Sam! You're so light!" Lily said.
+
+"Yay, Lily! You're so heavy!" Sam said.
+
+They giggled and went to the sandbox. They dug and built. They made castles and mountains.
+
+"Look, Sam! I made a famous castle!" Lily said.
+
+"Look, Lily! I made a famous mountain!" Sam said.
+
+They were very proud of their work.
+
+But then, they heard a loud noise. It was a big dog. It ran to the bench where their rubber toys were. It grabbed them with its mouth. It chewed and tore them. It made them into pieces.
+
+"Hey, stop!" Sam and Lily cried. "Those are our rubber toys!"
+
+They ran to the bench. They tried to get their rubber toys back. But the dog was too big and too mean. It growled and barked at them. It scared them away.
+
+Sam and Lily were very sad. They lost their rubber toys. They hugged each other and cried.
+
+"Sorry, Sam. Sorry, Lily." A voice said. It was the dog's owner. He came to the bench. He saw the mess. He felt bad.
+
+"Here, take these." He said. He gave them some new rubber toys. He had rubber ducks, rubber balls, rubber cars and rubber animals. He had more than Sam and Lily had before.
+
+"Wow, thank you!" Sam and Lily said. They wiped their tears. They smiled.
+
+They looked at their new rubber toys. They were shiny and colorful. They liked them a lot.
+
+They thanked the dog's owner again. They said goodbye to him and his dog. They went back to the sandbox. They played with their new rubber toys. They had a lot of fun with them.
+
+They were happy again. They were still best friends.
+Lily and Max were playing in the bathtub. They had many toys to make bubbles and splash. Lily had a yellow duck and Max had a blue boat. They were having fun and laughing.
+
+"Look, Lily, I can make my boat go fast!" Max said. He moved his boat back and forth in the water.
+
+"Wow, Max, your boat is fast!" Lily said. She tried to catch it with her duck, but it was too hard.
+
+"Let's play a game, Lily. Let's see who can spin the fastest in the water!" Max said. He liked to spin and make whirlpools.
+
+"OK, Max, let's spin!" Lily said. She liked to spin too. They both started to spin in the water, faster and faster.
+
+They spun so fast that they got dizzy. They felt funny and silly. They stopped spinning and looked at each other.
+
+"Max, I feel dizzy. Do you feel dizzy?" Lily asked.
+
+"Yes, Lily, I feel dizzy too. Everything is spinning!" Max said.
+
+They giggled and hugged each other. They were happy and dizzy. They liked to play in the bathtub.
+Sara and Ben love to bounce on the big bed. They jump and laugh and make funny faces. They pretend they are giant frogs or kangaroos or birds. Sometimes they bounce so high they touch the ceiling.
+
+One day, they find a new toy in the closet. It is a big, round ball with many colors. It has a string attached to it. Sara and Ben are curious. They take the ball to the bed and try to bounce it.
+
+"Wow, this is fun!" Sara says. "The ball bounces higher than us!"
+
+"Let me try!" Ben says. He grabs the string and pulls the ball. But the ball is too strong. It pulls Ben off the bed and into the air.
+
+"Help!" Ben shouts. "The ball is taking me away!"
+
+Sara is scared. She runs to the window and sees Ben flying over the trees and houses. The ball is a giant balloon!
+
+Sara thinks fast. She remembers her original idea. She grabs a pair of scissors and runs outside. She follows the balloon and waits for the right moment. She jumps and cuts the string. The balloon pops and Ben falls down. Sara catches him in her arms.
+
+"Are you okay?" Sara asks.
+
+"Yes, I'm okay. Thank you, Sara. You are very brave and smart." Ben says.
+
+They hug and smile. They decide to never bounce with the balloon again. They go back to the bed and bounce with their pillows. They are happy and safe.
+Tom and Mia are twins. They like to play with their toys on the floor. They have many toys: cars, dolls, blocks, balls, and books. They share their toys and have fun.
+
+One day, they see a new toy on the floor. It is a big, furry, brown bear. It has a red bow around its neck and a shiny nose. Tom and Mia are curious. They go near the bear and touch it.
+
+"Hello, bear," Tom says. "Do you want to play with us?"
+
+The bear does not answer. It does not move. It does not make any sound. Tom and Mia are puzzled. They look at each other.
+
+"Is it a real bear?" Mia asks.
+
+"I don't think so," Tom says. "It does not smell like a real bear. It smells like candy."
+
+They try to make the bear lively. They tickle it, hug it, shake it, and roll it. But the bear still does not do anything. Tom and Mia are bored. They leave the bear and go back to their other toys.
+
+"Maybe it is a sleeping bear," Mia says.
+
+"Maybe it is a broken bear," Tom says.
+
+They forget about the bear and play with their cars and dolls.
+
+The next day, they see the bear again on the floor. But this time, the bear is not alone. There is a girl sitting next to it. She has long, curly, blond hair and a pink dress. She is holding the bear and talking to it.
+
+"Who are you?" Tom and Mia ask.
+
+"I'm Lily," the girl says. "I'm your cousin. I came to visit you with my mom and dad. This is my bear. His name is Teddy. He is my best friend."
+
+Tom and Mia recognize Lily. They have seen her in pictures and heard her voice on the phone. But they have never met her in person. They are surprised and happy.
+
+"Hi, Lily," Tom and Mia say. "We are Tom and Mia. We are your cousins. Do you want to play with us?"
+
+Lily smiles. She nods. She puts Teddy on the floor and joins Tom and Mia. They show her their toys and share them with her. They play together and have fun.
+
+The bear is still not lively. But he is not lonely. He has three new friends. And they have a new friend too.
+Anna liked to record her voice with her toy phone. She would pretend to talk to her friends, her family, or her toys. She would say hello, ask questions, and tell stories. She would press a button to listen to her voice again and again.
+
+One day, she decided to record a letter for her grandma, who lived far away. She wanted to make her grandma happy. She picked up her phone and said, "Hi, grandma, this is Anna. I miss you and I love you. I am learning new things at school. I can count to ten and write my name. I also made a picture for you. It is a flower with many colors. I hope you like it. Bye, grandma!"
+
+She was very proud of her letter. She showed it to her mom and asked her to send it to grandma. Her mom smiled and said, "That is a very nice letter, Anna. I'm sure grandma will love it. You are very successful at recording your voice. But you know, this phone is not a real phone. It can't send letters. We need to use a different phone to call grandma and let her hear your letter."
+
+Anna was surprised. She didn't know that her phone was not a real phone. She asked her mom, "Can we use your phone, mom? Can we call grandma now?"
+
+Her mom nodded and said, "Of course, we can. Let's go to the living room and use my phone. You can hold your phone and play your letter for grandma. She will be very happy to hear your voice."
+
+Anna was excited. She ran to the living room with her phone and her mom. She waited for her mom to dial grandma's number. She heard a ring and then grandma's voice. She said, "Hello, grandma, this is Anna. I have a letter for you. Listen!" She pressed the button and played her letter. She heard grandma say, "Oh, Anna, that is a wonderful letter. I miss you and I love you too. You are very smart and creative. I can't wait to see your picture. Thank you for making my day. Bye, Anna!"
+
+Anna smiled and said, "Bye, grandma!" She hung up the phone and hugged her mom. She was very happy. She had recorded a letter for her grandma and made her happy. She was very successful.
+Lily and Sam were going to the station with Mom and Dad. They wanted to see the big trains and hear them go choo-choo. They were very excited and happy.
+
+But when they got to the station, they saw a long line of people waiting to buy tickets. Mom and Dad said they had to wait in the line too, or they would miss the train. Lily and Sam did not like waiting. They were bored and tired.
+
+"Can we go play over there?" Lily asked, pointing to a playground near the station.
+
+"No, sweetie, we have to stay here," Mom said. "We have to be patient and wait our turn."
+
+Lily and Sam did not want to be patient. They wanted to play and have fun. They started to whine and cry.
+
+"Please, please, please, can we go play?" Sam begged.
+
+"No, no, no, we have to wait," Dad said. "We are almost there. Look, the line is moving."
+
+Lily and Sam did not care. They refused to wait. They refused to listen. They refused to be quiet. They threw a big tantrum. They kicked and screamed and stomped their feet.
+
+Mom and Dad were very embarrassed and angry. They tried to calm them down, but they could not. The other people in the line looked at them with frowns and shakes of their heads.
+
+"Shh, shh, shh, it's okay, it's okay," Mom said.
+
+"Stop, stop, stop, behave, behave," Dad said.
+
+But Lily and Sam did not stop. They did not behave. They made a lot of noise and trouble.
+
+They missed the train.
+Mira and Rani were best friends. They liked to play in the hut near the big tree. The hut was made of sticks and leaves. It was cozy and fun. Many other children wanted to play in the hut too. It was a popular hut.
+
+One day, Mira and Rani were in the hut. They were playing with their dolls and making tea. They were happy and quiet. But then, they heard a loud noise. It was a big dog. The dog was barking and running. It came to the hut and started to sniff and scratch. It wanted to get in. It disturbed Mira and Rani.
+
+"Go away, dog!" Mira shouted. "You are not nice. You are scary. You are ruining our game."
+
+"Leave us alone, dog!" Rani cried. "You are not welcome. You are noisy. You are breaking our hut."
+
+But the dog did not listen. It kept barking and scratching. It made a hole in the hut. It poked its head inside. It saw Mira and Rani. It wagged its tail. It wanted to play.
+
+"Hello, children!" the dog said. "I am Lila. I am friendly. I am lonely. Can I play with you?"
+
+Mira and Rani looked at the dog. They saw its big eyes and soft fur. They saw its happy smile and wagging tail. They felt sorry for the dog. They realized it was not mean. It was just curious.
+
+"Hello, Lila," Mira said. "We are Mira and Rani. We are sorry we yelled at you. We were scared. You surprised us."
+
+"Hello, Lila," Rani said. "We are sorry we were rude to you. We were angry. You damaged our hut."
+
+Lila licked Mira and Rani. She apologized for disturbing them. She asked if she could join their game. Mira and Rani agreed. They fixed the hut. They gave Lila a doll and a cup of tea. They played together. They became friends. They were happy and loud. The hut was still popular. But now, it had a new guest.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and laugh. But they did not like the big wall that was at the end of the garden. The wall was tall and gray and had sharp spikes on top. They wanted to see what was on the other side of the wall.
+
+One day, they found a hole in the wall. It was small and dark and had dirt and bugs inside. Lily and Ben looked at each other. They were curious and brave. They decided to crawl through the hole and see what was on the other side of the wall.
+
+They pushed and squeezed and crawled through the hole. It was hard and scary, but they did not resist. They wanted to see the new place. They came out of the hole and looked around. They saw a big field with green grass and yellow flowers. They saw a blue sky with white clouds. They saw a pond with ducks and frogs. They saw a swing and a slide and a sandbox. They saw a lot of things that they liked.
+
+They ran and played and had fun. They forgot about the wall and the hole. They did not hear their mom calling them. They did not see the big dog that was coming towards them. The dog was black and brown and had sharp teeth and loud barks. The dog did not like strangers. The dog saw Lily and Ben and ran after them.
+
+Lily and Ben were scared. They screamed and ran away from the dog. They tried to find the hole in the wall, but they could not. The dog was faster and stronger. The dog caught up with them and jumped on them. The dog bit and scratched and growled. Lily and Ben cried and hurt and wished they were home.
+
+Then they heard a voice. It was a calm and kind voice. It said, "Stop, boy, stop. Leave them alone. They are just kids. They did not mean any harm." The voice belonged to a man. He was the owner of the dog and the field. He came and took the dog away from Lily and Ben. He said, "I'm sorry, kids. My dog is not friendly. He does not like strangers. Are you okay? Do you need help?"
+
+Lily and Ben nodded and said, "Yes, please. We want to go home. We are sorry. We did not know this was your place. We were just curious. We found a hole in the wall and came through. We did not mean any harm."
+
+The man smiled and said, "It's okay, kids. I understand. You were just curious. But you should not go through the hole. It is dangerous. The wall is there for a reason. It is to keep you safe and to keep my dog in. Come, I will show you the way back. I will fix the hole in the wall. And I will teach my dog to be nicer. Maybe one day, you can come and play here again. But only with my permission and my supervision. Okay?"
+
+Lily and Ben agreed and said, "Okay. Thank you, sir. You are very nice. And your place is very beautiful. But we like our garden better. And we like our mom better. And we like our dog better. He is small and white and has soft fur and gentle licks. He is friendly. He likes strangers. He likes you. Do you want to meet him?"
+
+The man laughed and said, "Sure, kids. I would love to meet your dog. And your mom. And your garden. Maybe we can be friends. And maybe my dog can be friends with your dog. And maybe we can all play together. But only with the wall and the hole fixed. And only with calm and kind words. And only with respect and care. Okay?"
+
+Lily and Ben smiled and said, "Okay. That sounds good. Let's go home. Let's go see our mom and our dog and our garden. Let's go be happy. And let's not go through the hole in the wall again. Okay?"
+
+The man nodded and said, "Okay. Let's go." And they all went home. And they all were happy. And they all learned a lesson. The end.
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play school. Lily is the teacher and Ben is the student. They have a blackboard in the playroom.
+
+"Welcome to school, Ben!" Lily says. She writes on the blackboard with a white stick. "Today we will learn about fast animals. Do you know any fast animals, Ben?"
+
+Ben thinks hard. He likes animals. He says, "A cheetah is fast. It can run very fast."
+
+Lily nods. She draws a cheetah on the blackboard. It has spots and a long tail. "Yes, a cheetah is fast. It is the fastest animal on land. Can you think of another fast animal, Ben?"
+
+Ben thinks again. He remembers a book he read with his mom. He says, "A peregrine falcon is fast. It can fly very fast."
+
+Lily smiles. She draws a peregrine falcon on the blackboard. It has wings and a beak. "Yes, a peregrine falcon is fast. It is the fastest animal in the air. You are very smart, Ben. You know a lot about fast animals."
+

+Lily and Ben hug. They are happy. They like to play school. They like to be friends.
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to help their mom in the garden. Today, they are picking potatoes. Mom shows them how to dig with a shovel and find the brown balls under the dirt.
+
+"Look, mom, I found a big one!" Lily says, holding up a potato.
+
+"Good job, Lily! That's a nice potato. Put it in the basket, please," mom says.
+
+Ben digs harder. He wants to find a big potato, too. He sees something shiny in the dirt. He pulls it out. It is not a potato. It is a spoon.
+
+"Mom, look, I found a spoon!" Ben says, waving it in the air.
+
+"Wow, Ben, that's a surprise! I wonder how it got there. Maybe someone buried it a long time ago," mom says.
+
+"Can I keep it, mom?" Ben asks.
+
+"Sure, Ben, you can keep it. It's your treasure. But don't forget to pick some potatoes, too," mom says.
+
+Lily and Ben pick some more potatoes. They fill the basket. They are happy. They carry the basket and the spoon to the house. Mom makes them soup with the potatoes. They eat the soup with the spoon. It is warm and yummy. They feel comfortable and full. They hug mom and say thank you. They go to bed and dream of potatoes and spoons.

+
+One morning, Lila and Ben wake up before their mom and dad. They put on their coats and shoes and sneak out of the house. They run to the hill behind their garden. The hill is high and they can see far.
+
+They climb the hill and sit on a rock. They see the sky changing colors. They see the sun peeking out. They are happy and excited.
+
+"Look, Lila, the sun is coming!" Ben says.
+
+"Yes, Ben, it is so pretty!" Lila says.
+
+They hug each other and watch the sun rise higher and higher. They feel warm and cozy.
+
+They see some flowers on the hill. They are purple and yellow and white. They smell nice. They decide to pick some flowers for their mom and dad.
+
+They pick some flowers and make a bouquet. They hold the bouquet and run back to the house. They want to surprise their mom and dad with the flowers and tell them about the sunrise.
+
+They knock on the door and wait. Their mom and dad open the door and see them. They are surprised and happy.
+

+
+"We went to see the sunrise, mom! It was so beautiful! And we picked some flowers for you and dad!" Lila says.
+
+"We love you, mom and dad!" Ben says.
+
+They give the flowers to their mom and dad and hug them. Their mom and dad thank them and hug them back. They tell them they love them too.

+Lia and Tom were playing in the jungle. They liked to climb trees and look for animals. They saw monkeys, birds, and snakes. They were having fun.
+
+But then they heard a loud roar. It was a lion! The lion was hungry and angry. He saw Lia and Tom and ran towards them. Lia and Tom were scared. They did not know what to do.
+
+"Freeze!" Tom said. "Maybe he will not see us if we do not move."
+
+Lia and Tom froze. They did not blink or breathe. They hoped the lion would go away. The lion came closer and closer. He sniffed them and growled. He opened his mouth to bite them.
+
+But then they heard another roar. It was a bigger lion! The bigger lion was the king of the jungle. He did not like the other lion trying to eat his friends. He chased the other lion away. He saved Lia and Tom.
+
+"Thank you, king lion!" Lia and Tom said. "You are very brave and kind."
+
+The king lion smiled and nodded. He licked them and let them pet him. He was their friend.
+
+Lia and Tom were very lucky. They had a new friend in the jungle. They played with him until it was time to go home. They said goodbye and promised to come back soon. They were happy.
+Lily and Tom were playing in the park. They liked to run and jump and slide and swing. They saw a big pile of leaves. They wanted to play in the leaves.
+
+"Let's scatter the leaves!" Lily said. She ran to the pile and kicked some leaves in the air. Tom followed her and threw some leaves with his hands. They laughed and shouted as the leaves flew everywhere.
+
+But then Lily saw something in the leaves. It was a glove. It was pink and soft and had a flower on it. Lily liked the glove. She picked it up and put it on her hand. It was a perfect fit.
+
+"Look, Tom, I found a glove!" Lily said. She showed him the glove. "It is pretty and warm. I like it."
+
+Tom looked at the glove. He liked it too. He wanted a glove. He looked in the leaves for another glove. But he could not find one. He felt sad.
+
+"Lily, can I have the glove?" Tom asked. He reached for the glove. "Please, I want a glove too."
+
+Lily did not want to give the glove. She liked the glove. She held it tight. "No, Tom, it is my glove. I found it. You can't have it."
+
+Tom and Lily started to fight. They pulled and pushed and yelled. The glove ripped in half. They both fell on the ground. They both cried.
+
+A lady came to the park. She saw Tom and Lily crying. She saw the ripped glove. She knew the glove. It was her glove. She had lost it in the leaves.
+
+"Hello, children, what is wrong?" the lady asked. She went to Tom and Lily. She picked up the glove. "Oh, this is my glove. I was looking for it. Thank you for finding it."
+
+Tom and Lily stopped crying. They looked at the lady. They felt sorry. They had broken her glove.
+
+"We are sorry, lady, we did not know it was your glove. We wanted to play with it. We fought over it. We ripped it. We are sorry." Tom and Lily said.
+
+The lady smiled. She was not angry. She was kind. She had another glove in her pocket. She gave it to Tom and Lily.
+
+"It is okay, children, I forgive you. You can have this glove. It is a pair with the other one. You can share it. It is big enough for two hands. You can play with it. But be nice to each other. And don't scatter the leaves too much. They are for the trees." the lady said.
+
+Tom and Lily thanked the lady. They took the glove. They put it on their hands. They hugged each other. They were happy. They had a glove. They had a friend. They learned a lesson. They played in the park. They did not scatter the leaves. They were good.
+Tom and Sue like to print. They have a big box of paper and many colors. They print shapes and animals and letters. They like to show their prints to mom and dad.
+
+One day, they see a big hive in the tree. The hive is brown and round and has many bees. The bees fly in and out and make a loud buzz. Tom and Sue are nosy. They want to see the hive closer.
+
+They take their prints and go to the tree. They stand under the hive and look up. They see the bees and the holes. They think the hive is pretty. They want to print the hive.
+
+They hold their paper and colors and try to print the hive. But the bees do not like that. The bees think Tom and Sue are bad. The bees get angry and fly out. The bees sting Tom and Sue. Tom and Sue cry and drop their prints.

+
+They remembered that their mom had a phone in her bag. They thought maybe they could use the phone to call the number on the tag. They asked the dog to lead them to the hill. The dog barked and nodded. It ran ahead and showed them the way.

+Anna and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys in the living room. Sometimes they share, and sometimes they fight.
+
+One day, Mom is making coffee in the kitchen. She tells Anna and Ben to mind their toys and not make a mess. She says coffee is a drink for grown-ups, and they cannot have any.
+
+Anna and Ben nod, but they are curious. They want to know what coffee tastes like. They see Mom leave her cup on the table and go to the bathroom. They sneak to the table and look at the cup.
+
+"Let's try it," Ben says. He picks up the cup and takes a sip. He makes a face and spits it out. "Yuck! It's spicy and bitter!"
+
+Anna laughs. She thinks Ben is silly. She wants to try it too. She takes the cup from Ben and takes a sip. She also makes a face and spits it out. "Yuck! It's spicy and bitter!"
+
+They hear Mom coming back. They quickly put the cup back on the table and run to their toys. They pretend to play, but they feel bad. They know they did something wrong.
+
+Mom sees the cup and the mess on the table. She sees Anna and Ben looking guilty. She knows what they did. She is not happy. She says, "Anna and Ben, did you drink my coffee?"
+
+Anna and Ben look at each other. They nod. They say, "We're sorry, Mom. We wanted to try it. But we didn't like it. It was spicy and bitter."
+
+Mom sighs. She says, "Coffee is not for children. It can make you sick. You have to mind me when I tell you something. And you have to mind your toys and not make a mess. Do you understand?"
+
+Anna and Ben nod. They say, "We understand, Mom. We're sorry. We won't do it again."
+
+Mom smiles. She says, "It's okay. I forgive you. But next time, listen to me. And if you want a drink, you can have some juice or milk. They are good for you. And they are not spicy and bitter."
+Lily liked to help her mom cook. She liked to stir and pour and taste. But she did not like onions. Onions made her eyes water and her nose run. She did not like how they smelled or how they looked.
+
+One day, her mom asked her to help make soup. Lily was happy. She liked soup. She liked carrots and potatoes and noodles. But then her mom took out an onion. Lily frowned. She did not want to touch the onion.
+
+"Mom, can we make soup without onion?" she asked.
+
+"No, sweetie, we need onion for flavor. Onion makes the soup yummy. Trust me, you will like it," her mom said.
+
+She chopped the onion and put it in a pot with water and oil. Lily watched from a distance. She saw the onion sizzle and turn brown. She smelled something different. Something sweet.
+
+"Mom, what is that smell?" she asked.
+
+"That is the onion, Lily. When you cook onion, it changes. It becomes sweet and soft and delicious. Do you want to try a little bit?" her mom asked.
+
+Lily was curious. She walked closer to the pot. She saw the onion pieces in the soup. They looked different. They looked like candy. She nodded.
+
+Her mom gave her a spoon with a little bit of onion and broth. Lily blew on it and put it in her mouth. She was surprised. It was sweet and warm and good. She smiled.
+
+"Mom, I like onion!" she said.
+
+Her mom hugged her and kissed her cheek. "I'm glad, Lily. You are a brave and smart girl. Now, let's finish the soup and share it with dad. He will love it too."
+
+They added the carrots and potatoes and noodles and salt and pepper. They stirred and waited and tasted. The soup was ready. They poured it into bowls and brought it to the table. Dad was waiting for them. He smelled the soup and smiled.
+
+"Mmm, this smells amazing. What did you make, Lily?" he asked.
+
+Lily beamed. She was proud. She helped her mom cook. She learned something new. She liked onion.
+
+She said, "We made soup, dad. Soup with onion. Onion is sweet. You will like it. Try it!"
+
+She gave him a spoon and watched him eat. He slurped and smiled and nodded.
+
+"You are right, Lily. This is the best soup ever. You and mom did a great job. Thank you for sharing it with me."
+
+They ate and talked and laughed. They enjoyed the soup and each other. Lily was happy. She liked to help her mom cook. She liked soup. She liked onion. She liked her family. She shut her eyes and said a silent thank you. She was grateful.
+Anna and Ben were hungry. They wanted to eat spaghetti for lunch. But Mom said they had to wait. She was busy on the phone.
+
+Anna and Ben saw a big pot of spaghetti on the stove. It smelled good. They wanted to eat it now. They had a plan. Ben would distract Mom. Anna would steal some spaghetti.
+
+Ben went to Mom and said, "Mom, can I show you something?" He took her hand and led her to the living room. He pointed to a picture he had drawn. It was a fierce lion with big teeth and claws.
+
+Mom smiled and said, "Wow, Ben, that's a very nice lion. You are a good artist."
+
+While Mom was looking at the picture, Anna sneaked into the kitchen. She grabbed a fork and a plate. She scooped some spaghetti from the pot. She was about to run away when she heard a loud roar.
+
+She turned around and saw a real lion in the kitchen. It was fierce and hungry. It had followed the smell of spaghetti. It saw Anna and the plate. It wanted to eat them.
+
+Anna screamed and dropped the plate. The spaghetti fell on the floor. The lion pounced on it and gobbled it up.
+
+Mom heard the scream and the roar. She ran to the kitchen. She saw the lion and Anna. She was scared and angry.
+
+She grabbed a broom and chased the lion away. She yelled, "Go away, you bad lion! Don't steal our spaghetti!"
+
+The lion ran out of the door. It was full and scared. It never came back.
+
+Mom hugged Anna and said, "Are you okay, Anna? That was a very dangerous lion. You should never steal spaghetti from the pot. It's hot and not ready. And you could get hurt."
+
+Anna nodded and said, "I'm sorry, Mom. I was hungry and silly. I won't steal spaghetti again."
+
+Mom said, "It's okay, Anna. I love you. But next time, listen to me and wait for lunch. And don't let any more lions into the house."
+
+Anna and Ben said, "We love you too, Mom. And we won't let any more lions into the house."
+
+They all laughed and hugged. Then they ate spaghetti for lunch. It was delicious and safe.
+Lily and Ben were hungry. They wanted to eat beef for lunch. Mom said beef was in the big cold box. Lily and Ben opened the big cold box and saw a lot of things. They saw milk, cheese, eggs, and beef.
+
+"Look, Ben, there is the beef!" Lily said. She took the beef out of the box. It was wrapped in paper. She tried to open the paper, but it was hard. She pulled and pulled, but the paper did not open.
+
+"Let me try, Lily," Ben said. He took the beef from Lily and pulled the paper too. He pulled harder and harder, but the paper did not open. He got angry and snapped the paper with his teeth. He made a loud noise.
+
+"Ben, what are you doing?" Mom said. She came into the kitchen and saw Ben and Lily with the beef. She saw the paper with a hole and Ben's teeth marks. She was not happy. She took the beef from Ben and put it back in the box. She closed the box and locked it.
+
+"Ben, you are crazy!" Mom said. "You cannot eat raw beef. It is bad for you. And you cannot snap the paper. It is not food. You have to wait for me to cook the beef. Now go and wash your hands and face. And say sorry to Lily."
+
+Ben felt sorry. He did not mean to be crazy. He just wanted to eat beef. He said sorry to Lily and Mom. He went to the sink and washed his hands and face. Lily followed him and gave him a hug. They waited for Mom to cook the beef. They hoped it would be yummy.
+Ben and Lily were playing in the park. They liked to slide on the big slide. It was fun and fast. They took turns to go down the slide.
+
+One day, they saw a boy with a toy gun. He was pointing it at the birds and making loud noises. He said, "Bang! Bang! You are dead!"
+
+Ben and Lily did not like the boy. They thought he was mean and scary. They did not want to play with him.
+
+They ran to the other side of the park. They found a swing and a seesaw. They had fun on the swing and the seesaw.
+
+The boy with the toy gun followed them. He said, "Hey, you two! Give me your slide. It is mine now. I have a gun. I am important."
+
+Ben and Lily did not listen to him. They said, "No, you are not important. You are rude and bad. The slide is for everyone. You cannot have it. Go away!"
+
+The boy with the toy gun got angry. He tried to grab the slide. But Ben and Lily pushed him away. They said, "Stop it! Leave us alone!"
+
+The boy with the toy gun fell down. He dropped his gun. He started to cry.
+
+A lady came to the park. She was the boy's mom. She saw what happened. She said, "I am sorry. He is my son. He does not know how to share. He does not know how to be nice. He likes to play with his gun. But it is not a real gun. It is a toy. He should not point it at anyone. It is not safe. It is not fun."
+
+She picked up the boy and the gun. She said, "Come on, we are going home. You need a time out. You need to learn how to play with others. You need to say sorry to Ben and Lily."
+
+The boy with the toy gun said, "Sorry, Ben. Sorry, Lily. I was wrong. I will not do it again."
+
+Ben and Lily said, "It is okay. We forgive you. But next time, be kind and gentle. And do not bring your gun to the park. It is not a good toy. It is not a good game."
+
+The lady and the boy left the park. Ben and Lily went back to the slide. They slid down together. They smiled and laughed. They were happy and safe. They were friends.
+Anna and Ben love to visit the farm with their mom and dad. They like to see the animals and feed them carrots and hay. There is a big cow, a pink pig, a fluffy sheep and a funny goat. The goat is Ben's favorite. He thinks the goat is beautiful, with its white fur and long horns.
+
+One day, Anna and Ben are playing near the goat pen. They see the goat eating some grass and they want to pet it. They climb over the fence and run towards the goat. The goat sees them and runs away. Anna and Ben chase the goat around the pen, but they cannot catch it. The goat is too fast and smart.
+
+"Come here, beautiful goat!" Ben shouts. "We just want to be your friends!"
+
+The goat does not listen. It runs to the other side of the pen and jumps over another fence. It lands in the vegetable garden, where the farmer is working. The goat starts to eat the lettuce and the carrots. The farmer is angry. He sees the goat and yells.
+
+"Hey, you naughty goat! Get out of my garden! You are not behaving!"
+
+The farmer picks up a rake and tries to shoo the goat away. The goat does not like the rake. It lowers its head and charges at the farmer. The farmer dodges the goat and drops the rake. The goat picks up the rake with its mouth and runs away.
+
+Anna and Ben see the goat with the rake. They think it is funny. They laugh and clap their hands.
+
+"Look, mom and dad!" Anna says. "The goat has a rake!"
+
+Mom and dad see the goat with the rake. They do not think it is funny. They are worried. They run to the goat pen and call Anna and Ben.
+
+"Anna and Ben, come here right now!" mom says. "You are not behaving either! You should not climb over the fence and chase the goat! You could get hurt or make trouble!"
+
+Anna and Ben feel sorry. They did not mean to make trouble. They climb back over the fence and go to mom and dad. They hug them and say sorry.
+
+"We are sorry, mom and dad," Ben says. "We just wanted to pet the beautiful goat."
+
+Mom and dad hug them back and say it is okay. They tell them to be careful and listen to the rules. They also tell them to say sorry to the farmer and the goat. Anna and Ben nod and say okay.
+
+They go to the farmer and the goat. The farmer is still angry, but he is also glad that the goat did not hurt him or break anything. He takes the rake from the goat and puts it away. He tells Anna and Ben to be more respectful of his animals and his garden. Anna and Ben say sorry to the farmer and thank him for letting them visit the farm. The farmer smiles and says it is okay. He gives them each a carrot to feed the goat.
+
+They go to the goat and say sorry to it too. They give it the carrots and pet its fur. The goat likes the carrots and the petting. It bleats and licks their hands. Anna and Ben smile and say goodbye to the goat.
+
+They go back to mom and dad. They are ready to go home. They have learned a lesson. They will behave better next time they visit the farm. They will also remember the beautiful goat and the funny rake.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and laugh. They saw a big tree with many vines. The vines were green and long and curly.
+
+"Let's climb the tree!" Ben said. He ran to the tree and grabbed a vine. He pulled and pulled, but the vine did not move. He tried another vine, and another, but they were all stuck to the tree.
+
+Lily watched Ben. She saw a pretty flower on the ground. It was yellow and red and smelled nice. She picked it up and smelled it. She smiled.
+
+"Look, Ben, a pretty flower!" Lily said. She ran to Ben and showed him the flower.
+
+Ben looked at the flower. He did not smile. He wanted to climb the tree, not look at flowers.
+
+"That's nice, Lily, but I want to climb the tree," Ben said. He turned away and tried another vine.
+
+Lily felt sad. She wanted to play with Ben, not alone. She sighed and put the flower in her hair. She looked at the tree. She saw a vine that was loose and hanging. She had an idea.
+
+"Ben, I found a vine that we can climb!" Lily said. She ran to the vine and grabbed it. She swung it back and forth. It was fun.
+
+Ben heard Lily. He looked at her. He saw her swinging on the vine. It looked fun. He smiled.
+
+"Can I try, Lily?" Ben said. He ran to Lily and grabbed the vine. They swung on the vine together. They laughed and laughed.
+
+They were happy. They played in the garden until it was time to go home. They hugged and said goodbye. They had a good day.
+Tom and Sam are friends. They like to play with trucks in the yard. They have big trucks and small trucks. They make roads and bridges with dirt and sticks.
+
+One day, it starts to rain. The rain is wet and cold. It makes the dirt muddy and the sticks slippery. Tom and Sam run inside the house. They are sad. They cannot play with trucks in the rain.
+
+"Can we play with trucks inside?" Tom asks his mom.
+
+"No, trucks are for outside. They are dirty and noisy. You can play with other toys inside. How about puzzles or books?" Mom says.
+
+Tom and Sam do not like puzzles or books. They are boring. They want to play with trucks.
+
+They look out the window. The rain is still falling. They see a big truck on the street. It is a fire truck. It has red lights and a loud siren. It is going to help someone.
+
+"Wow, look at that truck!" Sam says. "It is so big and fast and brave. I wish I had a truck like that."
+
+"Me too," Tom says. "That truck is intelligent. It knows how to stop fires and save people. It is the best truck ever."
+
+Tom and Sam watch the fire truck until it disappears. They forget about the rain. They pretend they are firemen. They use pillows and blankets to make a fire truck. They turn on the lights and make siren noises. They rescue their stuffed animals from the fire.
+
+They have fun. They are happy. They love trucks.
+Lily loved to play with her marbles. She had many marbles of different colors and sizes. She liked to roll them on the floor and watch them zoom around. She also liked to make patterns with them and count them.
+
+One day, Lily had a playdate with Ben. Ben was her friend from preschool. He also liked marbles, but he did not have as many as Lily. He only had a few marbles that were old and chipped. He wanted to play with Lily's marbles, but Lily did not want to share.
+
+"Can I have some of your marbles, Lily?" Ben asked.
+
+"No, they are mine!" Lily said. "You can only play with your own marbles."
+
+"But you have so many, and they are so pretty!" Ben said. "Please, Lily, can I have just one?"
+
+"No, no, no!" Lily shouted. "Go away, Ben! You are a bad friend!"
+
+Lily was very spoiled. She did not know how to share or be kind. She grabbed all her marbles and put them in a big bag. She ran to her room and locked the door. She did not care about Ben's feelings.
+
+Ben was very sad. He felt hurt and lonely. He did not understand why Lily was so mean. He wished he had a better friend. He picked up his few marbles and put them in his pocket. He said goodbye to Lily's mom and went home.
+
+Lily's mom was very disappointed. She knew that Lily was wrong. She knocked on Lily's door and tried to talk to her.
+
+"Lily, open the door, please. We need to talk."
+
+"No, I don't want to talk!" Lily said.
+
+"Lily, you were very rude to Ben. You should share your marbles with him. He is your friend."
+
+"No, he is not my friend! He wanted to take my marbles!"
+
+"Lily, he did not want to take your marbles. He just wanted to play with them. You have enough marbles for both of you. You should be generous and nice. Sharing is caring."
+
+Lily did not listen. She was too angry and selfish. She hugged her bag of marbles and ignored her mom. She did not realize that she was losing a real friend for some shiny stones. She did not know that she was making a big mistake.
+Tom and Mia are playing with their blocks. They are making a big tower with many colors. Tom puts a red block on top of the tower. Mia wants to put a blue block on top of the red block. She reaches for the blue block, but she bumps the tower. The tower falls down and the blocks go everywhere.
+
+"Oh no!" Mia says. She feels sad. She starts to cry. Tears come out of her eyes.
+
+Tom sees Mia crying. He feels sorry for her. He wants to make her feel better. He says, "Don't cry, Mia. It's okay. We can make another tower."
+
+He picks up a soft cloth. He goes to Mia. He wipes her eyes with the cloth. He says, "Look, your eyes are dry now. Do you want to play with me again?"
+
+Mia looks at Tom. She sees his kind face. She feels a little better. She nods her head. She says, "Yes, Tom. I want to play with you again. Thank you for wiping my eyes."
+
+Tom smiles. He says, "You're welcome, Mia. You're my friend. I'm glad you're not sad anymore."
+
+They hug each other. They pick up the blocks. They start to make another tower. They are happy. They are not worried. They have fun.
+Lila and Ben like to design things. They use paper, crayons, scissors and glue. They make cards, hats, animals and more. They have fun and show their mom and dad.
+
+One day, it is very cold outside. The ground is white and icy. Lila and Ben want to play in the snow. They put on their coats, boots, gloves and caps. They go outside and see a big snowman.
+
+"Wow, look at the snowman!" Lila says. "He has a carrot nose, a scarf and buttons. But he has no cap. He must be cold."
+
+"Let's design a cap for him!" Ben says. "We can use some of our paper and crayons. Come on, let's go back inside and make one."
+
+They run back inside and find some paper and crayons. They draw a big circle and cut it out. They fold it in half and glue it together. They make a pom-pom with some yarn and glue it on top. They color the cap with red and green stripes.
+
+"Look, our cap is done!" Lila says. "It is very pretty and warm. Let's go and put it on the snowman."
+
+They go outside again and climb on a chair. They put the cap on the snowman's head. They step back and smile.
+
+"Wow, he looks great!" Ben says. "He looks happy and cozy. We are good designers."
+
+"Yes, we are!" Lila says. "And we are good friends. Let's give him a hug."
+
+They hug the snowman and laugh. They play in the snow until it is time to go inside. They are happy and proud of their design.
+Lily and Ben were friends who liked to play on the farm. They liked to feed the chickens, pet the cows and run with the dogs. But their favorite animal was the goat. The goat was black and had horns and a beard. He was funny and friendly and liked to eat grass and apples.
+
+One day, Lily and Ben decided to play hide and seek with the goat. They took turns hiding behind the trees, the barn and the fence. The goat had to find them and make a loud sound. "Baa!" he would say when he saw them. Lily and Ben would laugh and run to a new spot.
+
+But then, Lily had a clever idea. She hid behind a big pile of hay and covered herself with some straw. She waited for the goat to find her. She heard him looking for her and saying "Baa!" But he could not see her. She smiled and stayed very quiet.
+
+Ben was watching from behind a bush. He saw the goat walking around the hay pile. He wanted to help him. He whispered to the goat, "Look behind the hay, goat. Lily is there. She is hiding from you."
+
+The goat heard Ben and turned his head. He saw a little bit of Lily's hair sticking out from the straw. He walked closer and sniffed. He recognized Lily's smell. He nudged her with his nose and said "Baa!"
+
+Lily felt the goat's nose and heard his sound. She jumped out of the hay and hugged him. She said, "You found me, goat! You are so smart and good. I love you, goat."
+
+The goat licked her face and said "Baa!" He loved her too. He reminded her of his friend, the sheep. He was happy to play with Lily and Ben. They were his friends too. They had fun on the farm.
+Ben and Mia were eager to see the big yacht in the water. They ran to the dock with their dad and looked at the shiny boat with many windows and flags. They wanted to go inside and explore.
+
+"Can we go on the yacht, dad?" Ben asked.
+
+"No, son, that yacht belongs to someone else. We can only look at it from here," dad replied.
+
+"But why?" Mia wondered.
+
+"Because it is not polite to go on someone else's things without asking. The yacht is very expensive and the owner might not like it," dad explained.
+
+Ben and Mia felt sad. They wished they had a yacht of their own. They saw some people on the yacht, laughing and waving. They looked happy and fun.
+
+"Hello, there!" one of the people on the yacht shouted. "Do you like our yacht?"
+
+Ben and Mia nodded. They were shy and did not know what to say.
+
+"Would you like to come on board and have a look? We have some cookies and juice for you," the person offered.
+
+Ben and Mia looked at their dad. He smiled and nodded.
+
+"Really? Can we?" Ben asked.
+
+"Sure, why not? They seem nice and friendly. But remember to say thank you and be careful," dad replied.
+
+Ben and Mia were eager again. They thanked the person on the yacht and followed their dad to the ladder. They climbed up and entered the yacht. They saw many rooms and things. They smelled the cookies and juice. They met the other people on the yacht. They were kind and funny. They told them stories and jokes. They gave them cookies and juice. They let them play with some toys and games.
+
+Ben and Mia had a lot of fun on the yacht. They forgot they were sad. They made some new friends. They learned some new things. They thanked the people on the yacht and said goodbye. They climbed down the ladder and went back to the dock with their dad.
+
+"Did you enjoy the yacht, kids?" dad asked.
+
+"Yes, dad, it was awesome!" Ben replied.
+
+"It was the best!" Mia agreed.
+
+They hugged their dad and smiled. They were happy and grateful. They had a wonderful day.
+Lily and Ben like to play at the gym. The gym has many toys and mats and balls. Lily and Ben run and jump and roll on the mats. They have fun.
+
+One day, a big boy comes to the gym. He is gray and mean. He takes the toys and balls from Lily and Ben. He says, "These are mine. Go away." Lily and Ben are sad and scared.
+
+Lily and Ben try to get their toys and balls back. But the big boy pushes them and laughs. He says, "You are too small and weak. I am big and strong." Lily and Ben are angry and hurt.
+
+Lily and Ben see a teacher at the gym. They run to the teacher and shout, "Help! Help! The big boy is mean. He takes our toys and balls. He pushes us and laughs. Please help us." The teacher hears them and looks at the big boy.
+
+The teacher goes to the big boy and says, "Stop! Stop! You are not nice. You cannot take the toys and balls from Lily and Ben. You cannot push them and laugh. You have to share and be kind. Say sorry to Lily and Ben." The big boy is scared and sorry. He says, "Sorry, Lily. Sorry, Ben. I was mean. Can we play together?" Lily and Ben are happy and brave. They say, "Yes, we can play together. But you have to share and be kind." The big boy nods and smiles. They play together at the gym. They have fun.
+Anna liked to play in the garden with her dolls. She was very independent and did not need anyone to help her. She made a house for her dolls with some stones and leaves. She pretended that her dolls were a family and gave them names.
+
+One day, she saw a big hole in the fence. She was curious and wanted to see what was on the other side. She told her dolls to wait for her and crawled through the hole. She found herself in a strange place with many flowers and trees. She felt like she was in a fairy tale.
+
+She saw a small bottle on the ground. It had a label that said "Drink me". She thought it was juice and drank some. She felt a funny feeling in her tummy and then she started to shrink. She became smaller and smaller until she was the same size as her dolls.
+
+She was scared and wanted to go back to her garden. She looked for the hole in the fence but it was too far away and too high. She did not know what to do. She wished she had listened to her mom and stayed in the garden.
+
+She heard a voice behind her. It was a friendly mouse. He said, "Hello, little girl. What are you doing here? You look lost."
+
+Anna told him what happened and asked him for help. The mouse said, "Don't worry, I can help you. I know where the bottle is. If you drink some more, you will grow back to your normal size. Follow me."
+
+Anna was happy and thanked the mouse. She followed him to the bottle and drank some more. She felt another funny feeling in her tummy and then she started to grow. She became bigger and bigger until she was the same size as before.
+
+She hugged the mouse and said, "Thank you, mouse. You are very kind and smart. I'm sorry I was so silly and drank the juice. I learned my lesson. I will never go through the hole in the fence again."
+
+The mouse said, "You're welcome, Anna. I'm glad you're safe. Now go back to your garden and your dolls. They must be missing you."
+
+Anna said goodbye to the mouse and crawled through the hole. She ran to her dolls and hugged them. She was happy to be back in her garden. She decided to be more careful and listen to her mom. She played with her dolls until it was time to go inside. She had a big adventure that day, but she also learned a lot.
+Sara and Ben were very enthusiastic to enter the shop. They had been saving their coins for a long time. They wanted to buy a new toy for themselves.
+
+They held their mom's hand as they crossed the street. They saw the big sign that said "Toys R Us". They smiled and ran to the door. Mom opened the door for them and they went inside.
+
+The shop was full of colorful and shiny toys. There were dolls, cars, trains, puzzles, books, and more. Sara and Ben looked around with wonder. They wanted to play with everything.
+
+"Mom, can we buy this?" Sara asked, holding a pink unicorn. "It has a horn and wings and it makes a sound."
+
+"Mom, can I have this?" Ben asked, pointing to a red fire truck. "It has a ladder and a hose and it lights up."
+
+Mom looked at the price tags and shook her head. "I'm sorry, sweeties, but those toys are too expensive. We only have enough coins for one small toy each. Why don't you look for something else?"
+
+Sara and Ben felt sad. They put back the unicorn and the fire truck. They walked around the shop, looking for something cheaper. They saw some stickers, some crayons, some balls, and some books. They tried to find something they liked.
+
+After a while, they found two small toys that made them happy. Sara picked a yellow duck that squeaked. Ben picked a blue car that rolled. They showed them to mom and she nodded. "Those are good choices. Let's go pay for them."
+
+They went to the counter and gave their coins to the lady. The lady smiled and put their toys in a bag. She gave them the bag and a receipt. "Thank you for shopping at Toys R Us. Have a nice day."
+
+Sara and Ben thanked the lady and took the bag. They hugged their mom and said, "Thank you, mom, for taking us to the shop. We love our new toys."
+
+Mom hugged them back and said, "You're welcome, my darlings. I'm glad you're happy. Now let's go home and play with them."
+
+They left the shop and walked back to the car. They were very enthusiastic to play with their new toys. They had a lot of fun. They were very grateful. They were very happy.
+Lily liked to sing and dance. She wanted to be on the stage like the big kids. She asked her mom if she could join the show.
+
+"Maybe next year, Lily. You are too little for this show. But you can watch and learn," her mom said.
+
+Lily was sad, but she nodded. She put on her pink dress and her shiny shoes. She followed her mom to the theater. She saw the big kids in costumes and makeup. They looked so pretty and cool.
+
+Lily saw a big stage with lights and curtains. She wanted to go there. She saw a door that said "stage". She opened it and sneaked in.
+
+She saw a lot of things on the stage. She saw a piano, a guitar, a drum, a microphone, a stool, and a big cake. She wanted to play with them. She ran to the cake and touched it. It was soft and sticky. She took a bite. It was disgusting. She spit it out and wiped her mouth.
+
+"Yuck! What is this?" she said.
+
+She heard a voice behind her. It was a big kid. He was angry.
+
+"Hey! What are you doing here? That's not a real cake. That's a prop. You ruined it!" he said.
+
+He grabbed Lily and dragged her to the door. He opened it and pushed her out.
+
+"Go away! You don't belong here. You are a troublemaker!" he said.
+
+Lily fell on the floor. She was scared and hurt. She started to cry.
+
+Her mom heard her cry and ran to her. She hugged her and kissed her.
+
+"What happened, Lily? Are you okay?" she asked.
+
+Lily told her mom what she did. She said she was sorry. She said she just wanted to be on the stage.
+
+Her mom looked at her and smiled.
+
+"I know, Lily. I know you love to sing and dance. But you have to wait for your turn. And you have to respect other people's things. The stage is not a playground. It's a place for work and art," she said.
+
+She wiped Lily's tears and dirt. She gave her a tissue and a candy.
+
+"Come on, Lily. Let's go watch the show. Maybe you can learn something from the big kids. And maybe next year, you can be on the stage too," she said.
+
+Lily nodded and smiled. She took her mom's hand and walked to the seats. She watched the show and clapped and cheered. She saw the big kid who yelled at her. He was in the show. He had to pretend to eat the cake. He made a funny face and spit it out. The audience laughed.
+
+Lily laughed too. She thought it was funny. She thought maybe he was not so bad. She thought maybe she could be his friend. She thought maybe she could be on the stage someday. She thought maybe she could be a star.
+Tom and Lily went to the beach with Mom and Dad. They liked to play in the sand and splash in the water. They saw a big red slide near the shore. It looked like fun.
+
+"Can we go on the slide, Mom?" Tom asked.
+
+"Sure, but be careful. The tide is coming in and the water is getting higher," Mom said.
+
+Tom and Lily ran to the slide. They took turns to climb up the steps and slide down into the water. They laughed and screamed as they slid. They felt the water splash on their faces and legs.
+
+"Look, Lily, the water is touching the slide now!" Tom said.
+
+"Wow, it is! Let's slide one more time before it gets too high," Lily said.
+
+They climbed up the steps again and slid down together. They felt the water lift them up and carry them away from the slide. They were scared.
+
+"Mom! Dad! Help!" they shouted.
+
+Mom and Dad heard them and ran to the water. They grabbed Tom and Lily and pulled them to the shore. They hugged them and dried them with towels.
+
+"Are you okay, kids?" Mom asked.
+
+"Yes, Mom, we are okay. But we are sorry. We did not listen to you. The tide was too high for the slide," Tom said.
+
+"It's okay, Tom. We are glad you are safe. Next time, you have to pay attention to the tide and the water. They can be dangerous," Dad said.
+
+"We will, Dad. We learned our lesson. Can we still play in the sand?" Lily asked.
+
+"Of course, Lily. But stay close to us and don't go near the water again," Mom said.
+
+Tom and Lily nodded. They went to play in the sand and make a castle. They did not look at the red slide anymore. They had enough of sliding for today.
+Lily and Ben were playing in the yard. They liked to find junk and make things with it. They found a big box, some cans, and a string. They made a car with the box and the cans. They tied the string to the front of the box.
+
+"Let's go for a ride!" Lily said. She got in the box and held the string. Ben pushed the box from behind. They went around the yard, making noises like a car.
+
+They saw a bird on a branch. It was brown and white, with a long tail. It was singing a pretty song. Lily and Ben stopped to look at it.
+
+"Wow, what a graceful bird!" Lily said. She liked how it moved its head and wings. She wanted to say hello to it.
+
+She clapped her hands and said, "Hi, bird! Hi, hi, hi!" The bird looked at her and tilted its head. It stopped singing and flew away.
+
+Lily was sad. She wanted the bird to stay and sing. She asked Ben, "Why did the bird go away?"
+
+Ben shrugged. He said, "Maybe it was scared of your clap. Or maybe it had to go somewhere else. Don't be sad, Lily. There are more birds in the sky."
+
+Lily nodded. She said, "You're right, Ben. Maybe we can see another bird later. Let's keep playing with our car."
+
+They smiled and got back in their car. They went around the yard, making noises like a car. They had fun with their junk.
+Tom and Ann are friends. They like to play in the garden. One day, they find a big pot. It is wet and shiny.
+
+"Look, a pot!" Tom says. "Let's play with it."
+
+"OK," Ann says. "What can we do with it?"
+
+Tom thinks. He has an idea. He puts the pot on his head. He pretends to be a robot.
+
+"Beep, beep, I am a pot robot," he says. "I can do anything."
+
+Ann laughs. She thinks Tom is funny. She wants to be a robot too. She looks for another pot. She sees one near the fence. She runs to get it.
+
+But the pot is not empty. It has water in it. When Ann lifts the pot, the water spills on her. She is wet and cold.
+
+"Ah, help!" she cries. "The pot is wet. I am wet."
+
+Tom hears Ann. He takes the pot off his head. He runs to help her.
+
+"Are you OK, Ann?" he asks. "I am sorry. I did not know the pot was wet."
+
+Ann is sad. She shivers. She does not want to be a robot anymore. She wants to be dry and warm.
+
+"It's OK, Tom," she says. "You did not mean it. But I don't like this pot. Let's find another one."
+
+Tom nods. He agrees. He does not like this pot either. He throws it away. He looks for a dry pot. He finds one under a tree. He gives it to Ann.
+
+"Here, Ann," he says. "This pot is dry. You can put it on your head. You can be a robot again."
+
+Ann smiles. She takes the pot. She puts it on her head. She feels better.
+
+"Thank you, Tom," she says. "You are a good friend. You are a good robot."
+
+They hug. They are happy. They play with the pots. They are robots. They have fun.
+Mia was a spoiled girl who always wanted more toys. She had a big room full of dolls, cars, books, and puzzles, but she was never happy. She always asked her mom and dad for new things, and cried when they said no.
+
+One day, her mom and dad told her they had a surprise for her. They took her to a park where there were many other children playing. Mia saw a big slide, a swing, a sandbox, and a merry-go-round. She ran to the slide and climbed up the ladder. She saw a boy waiting at the top, smiling at her.
+
+"Hi, I'm Leo. Do you want to slide with me?" he asked.
+
+Mia nodded and sat down next to him. They slid down together, laughing and squealing. Mia liked Leo. He was nice and fun. She wanted to slide with him again.
+
+But when they reached the bottom, Mia saw a girl holding a teddy bear. She wanted the teddy bear. She ran to the girl and tried to grab it.
+
+"Hey, that's mine!" the girl shouted.
+
+"No, it's mine!" Mia yelled back.
+
+She pulled the teddy bear hard, but the girl held on. They started to fight over the toy. Leo watched them, feeling sad.
+
+"Stop it, Mia!" he said. "That's not nice. You have to share."
+
+But Mia didn't listen. She pushed the girl and made her fall. The girl cried and dropped the teddy bear. Mia picked it up and hugged it.
+
+"Ha! I win!" she said.
+
+But then she heard a loud voice behind her.
+
+"Mia, what are you doing?" It was her mom. She looked angry and disappointed.
+
+Mia turned around and saw her mom and dad. They had seen everything. They were not happy with her.
+
+"Mia, you are a spoiled girl. You have so many toys at home, and you still want more. You don't care about other people's feelings. You hurt that girl and took her toy. That's very bad. You have to say sorry and give it back."
+
+Mia felt ashamed. She knew her mom and dad were right. She had been mean and selfish. She didn't like the teddy bear anymore. She wanted to be friends with Leo and the girl.
+
+She walked to the girl and gave her the teddy bear. She looked at her eyes and said, "I'm sorry. I was wrong. Can we be friends?"
+
+The girl nodded and smiled. She wiped her tears and said, "It's okay. I'm Anna. Thank you for giving me back my teddy bear."
+
+Mia smiled too. She felt better. She said, "I'm Mia. Do you want to play with me and Leo?"
+
+Anna nodded and said, "Yes, I do. Let's go to the swing."
+
+They ran to the swing, where Leo was waiting for them. He smiled and said, "Hi, Anna. I'm Leo. Do you want to swing with us?"
+
+Anna nodded and said, "Yes, I do. You're very nice, Leo."
+
+They took turns swinging, pushing each other, and having fun. Mia felt happy. She had learned a lesson. She didn't need more toys. She needed more friends. She had found a surprise in the park. A surprise that made her a better girl.
+Sara and Ben like to play with sand. They have a big bucket and a small shovel. They go to the park with Mom and find a good spot. They start to make a castle with the sand.
+
+"Look, Sara, I put a door on the castle," Ben says. He digs a hole in the sand with his shovel.
+
+"Wow, Ben, that's nice. I put a flag on the castle," Sara says. She sticks a twig in the sand on top of the castle.
+
+They are very happy with their castle. They want to show Mom. They call her and she comes to see.
+
+"What a beautiful castle you made, Sara and Ben," Mom says. She smiles and hugs them. "You are very good at playing with sand."
+
+"Thank you, Mom," Sara and Ben say. They feel proud and calm. They like their castle and their Mom. They keep playing with sand until it is time to go home.
+Tom and Lily were playing with their toys in the living room. Tom had a big iron that he liked to pretend was a spaceship. Lily had a doll that she liked to dress up and comb. They were having fun, but they also made a big mess.
+
+"Tom, Lily, time to clean up!" Mom called from the kitchen. "We have to send some clothes to Grandma today. She is sick and needs some warm and clean things to wear."
+
+Tom and Lily did not want to stop playing. They liked their toys and did not like to put them away. They tried to hide them under the sofa and behind the curtains.
+
+"Mom, we are done!" they shouted.
+
+Mom came to the living room and looked around. She saw the toys peeking out from their hiding places. She was not happy.
+
+"Tom, Lily, this is not clean. This is messy. You have to put your toys in the toy box. And you have to help me fold the clothes. Grandma will be happy to see your iron, Tom. It is shiny and heavy. But you have to wrap it well, so it does not break. And Lily, you can send your doll to Grandma, too. She is pretty and soft. But you have to comb her hair and put on a clean dress. Grandma will love to hug her."
+
+Tom and Lily felt sorry for making Mom angry. They also wanted to make Grandma happy. They took their toys and put them in the toy box. Then they helped Mom fold the clothes and wrap the iron and the doll. They wrote a card that said "We love you, Grandma. Get well soon."
+
+Mom smiled and hugged them. She said, "Thank you, Tom and Lily. You are good and helpful. Grandma will be very happy to receive your gifts. She will feel better soon. Now, let's go to the post office and send them."
+Lily and Ben are friends. They like to play in the park. One day, they see a big dog. The dog has long, dirty hair. It looks sad and hungry.
+
+"Hello, dog," Lily says. "Do you want to play with us?"
+
+The dog wags its tail. It follows Lily and Ben to the slide. They have fun together.
+
+"Can we keep the dog, Mom?" Ben asks when his mom comes to pick him up.
+
+"I don't know, Ben," his mom says. "The dog needs a home, but it also needs a bath. It has very dirty hair."
+
+"I have an idea," Lily says. "Why don't we take the dog to the pet shop? They can wash its hair and make it clean. Maybe they can also find a good home for it."
+
+"That sounds like a good idea, Lily," Ben's mom says. "You are very smart. I recommend that we do that."
+
+Lily and Ben smile. They hug the dog and say goodbye. They hope the dog will be happy and find a loving family. They are glad they met the dog and played with it.
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play with their toys. They have many toys, but their favorite is a big red vehicle. It has four wheels and a horn. They can sit inside and pretend to drive.
+
+One day, they hear a loud noise outside. They run to the window and see a real vehicle. It is a fire truck. It is shiny and has a ladder and a hose. It also has a horn and a siren. The fire truck stops near their house.
+
+"Wow, look at that!" Lily says.
+
+"Can we go see it?" Ben asks.
+
+"OK, but we have to listen to Mommy," Lily says.
+
+They put on their shoes and jackets and run to the door. Mommy is there. She smiles and says, "Do you want to see the fire truck?"
+
+"Yes, please!" Lily and Ben say.
+
+"OK, but you have to be careful and stay with me," Mommy says. "The fire truck is here to help someone. We have to be respectful and grateful."
+
+They nod and follow Mommy outside. They see some firefighters in yellow suits. They are talking to a neighbor. The neighbor's house has some smoke coming out of the window. The firefighters are using the hose to put out the fire.
+
+Lily and Ben are curious and scared. They hold Mommy's hand and watch. They see the fire truck's ladder go up. A firefighter climbs up and rescues a cat from the window. The cat is scared and meows. The firefighter brings the cat down and gives it to the neighbor. The neighbor hugs the cat and thanks the firefighter.
+
+Lily and Ben clap and cheer. They love animals. They are happy that the cat is safe. They are also happy that the fire is out. They are grateful for the firefighters.
+
+The firefighters see Lily and Ben. They smile and wave. One of them comes over and says, "Hi, kids. Do you like our fire truck?"
+
+"Yes, we do!" Lily and Ben say.
+
+"Would you like to see it up close?" the firefighter asks.
+
+"Yes, please!" Lily and Ben say.
+
+"OK, but you have to listen to me and be careful," the firefighter says. "The fire truck is a big and powerful vehicle. It has many tools and buttons. You can look, but don't touch."
+
+They nod and follow the firefighter. He shows them the fire truck. He lets them sit inside and honk the horn. He tells them what the siren and the lights do. He shows them the ladder and the hose. He gives them stickers and hats.
+
+Lily and Ben are amazed and excited. They thank the firefighter. They say, "You are brave and kind. You help people and animals. You have a cool vehicle. We want to be like you when we grow up."
+
+The firefighter laughs and says, "You are welcome, kids. You are sweet and smart. You listen and learn. You have a bright future. Maybe you will be firefighters one day."
+
+They hug the firefighter and go back to Mommy. They show her their stickers and hats. They tell her what they saw and learned. They say, "We love you, Mommy. We love the fire truck. We love the firefighters. We are grateful for everything."
+
+Mommy hugs them and says, "I love you, too, Lily and Ben. I'm proud of you. You are good and brave. You are grateful and respectful. You make me happy."
+
+They smile and go back to their house. They play with their big red vehicle. They pretend to be firefighters. They honk the horn and say, "We are here to help!" They have fun and feel good. They are grateful for their toys and their family. They are grateful for their day.
+Tommy liked to whistle. He whistled when he played, when he ate, and when he went to bed. He whistled so much that his mom and dad sometimes asked him to be quiet. But Tommy did not want to stop whistling. He said whistling made him happy.
+
+One night, Tommy heard a strange sound in his room. It was like a soft whistle, but not like his own. He looked around and saw a bright light under his bed. He was scared, but also curious. He got out of his bed and peeked under it.
+
+There he saw a small spirit. It looked like a ball of fire, but it did not burn. It had eyes and a mouth, and it was whistling. Tommy said hello to the spirit. The spirit said hello back. It said it liked whistling too, and that it came to visit Tommy because it heard him.
+
+Tommy and the spirit became friends. They whistled together and played with Tommy's toys. The spirit told Tommy stories about the stars and the moon. Tommy told the spirit stories about his mom and dad and his dog. They had fun until Tommy felt sleepy.
+
+The spirit said it was time to go. It said it had to go back to its home in the sky. It said it would come back another night, if Tommy wanted. Tommy said he wanted. He said he liked the spirit very much. He asked the spirit to be careful and not get lost. The spirit said it would. It said it was very obedient and always listened to its mom and dad. It said goodbye to Tommy and flew out of the window. Tommy waved and whistled. He went back to his bed and fell asleep with a smile.
+Lily loves her dog, Max. Max is big and brown and has soft fur. He is obedient and listens to Lily when she tells him what to do. Lily likes to hold Max's paw and hug him.
+
+One day, Lily and Max go to the park with Mom. Mom says they can play on the swings and the slide. Lily and Max are happy and run to the playground. Lily holds Max's paw and says, "Come on, Max, let's go!"
+
+But when they get to the slide, Lily sees a problem. The slide is too high for Max. He cannot climb the ladder. He looks at Lily with sad eyes. Lily feels sorry for Max. She says, "Don't worry, Max, I have an idea!"
+
+Lily runs to the other side of the slide. She sees a big pile of leaves. She says, "Max, come here!" Max obeys and follows Lily. Lily says, "Look, Max, we can make our own slide with the leaves!"
+
+Lily and Max start to pile up the leaves. They make a big hill. Then they climb on top of the hill. Lily holds Max's paw and says, "Ready, Max?" Max nods and wags his tail. Lily says, "One, two, three, go!"
+
+Lily and Max slide down the hill of leaves. They laugh and bark. They have fun. Mom watches them and smiles. She says, "Lily and Max, you are very clever and creative!" Lily and Max are proud and happy. They love each other and their mom. They hug and hold paws. The end.
+Lisa liked to play with her toy car. It was red and shiny and made loud noises. She thought it was very attractive. She got it for her birthday from her grandma. She always remembered to say thank you and give her a hug.
+
+One day, Lisa wanted to play with her toy car in the garden. She took it outside and put it on the grass. She pressed the button and waited for it to move. But nothing happened. The toy car was silent and still. Lisa felt sad and confused.
+
+She ran inside and looked for her mom. She found her in the kitchen. She showed her the toy car and said, "Mom, my car is broken. It doesn't make noises or move. Why?"
+
+Mom looked at the toy car and smiled. She said, "Don't worry, Lisa. Your car is not broken. It just needs a new battery. A battery is something that gives power to your car. Sometimes, it runs out and you have to change it. Do you want to help me find a new battery?"
+
+Lisa nodded and smiled. She said, "Yes, please. I want to play with my car again. Where are the batteries?"
+
+Mom said, "They are in the drawer in the living room. Come on, let's go and get one." She took Lisa's hand and they walked to the living room. They opened the drawer and found a pack of batteries. Mom took one out and showed it to Lisa. She said, "This is a battery. It is small and round and has two ends. We have to put it in the right place in your car. Can you help me?"
+
+Lisa said, "Yes, I can. I want to learn how to do it." She followed Mom to the garden. Mom opened the back of the toy car and took out the old battery. She gave it to Lisa and said, "This is the old battery. It is empty and has no power. We have to throw it away in the bin. Can you do that for me?"
+
+Lisa said, "Yes, I can." She took the old battery and walked to the bin. She threw it away and said, "Bye, old battery. Thank you for making my car work." She ran back to Mom and said, "I did it. Now what?"
+
+Mom said, "Now we have to put the new battery in your car. See this hole? This is where the battery goes. You have to match the ends of the battery with the ends of the hole. Like this." She showed Lisa how to insert the new battery in the toy car. She said, "There. We did it. Now your car has power again. Do you want to try it?"
+
+Lisa said, "Yes, I do." She pressed the button and the toy car came to life. It made loud noises and moved on the grass. Lisa clapped and laughed. She said, "Yay, my car works. It is so attractive and fun. Thank you, Mom. You are the best."
+
+Mom hugged Lisa and said, "You are welcome, Lisa. You are a good helper and a good learner. I am proud of you. Now go and enjoy your car. But remember to be careful and not to lose it."
+
+Lisa said, "I will, Mom. I love you." She kissed Mom and ran to play with her toy car. She was very happy. She remembered to be grateful and to have fun.
+Sara liked to play the piano. She had a big piano in her room. She learned many songs from her teacher. But some songs were hard. Sara had to practice a lot.
+
+One day, Sara was playing a hard song. She made many mistakes. She got angry. She wanted to quit. She said, "I don't like this song. It is too hard. I quit!"
+
+Her mom heard her. She came to her room. She saw Sara's piano book. She saw a note on the book. The note said, "Sara, don't give up. You can do it. Be patient. Love, your teacher."
+
+Her mom smiled. She said, "Sara, look at this note. Your teacher believes in you. She knows you can play this song. You just need to practice more. Be patient. Don't quit."
+
+Sara looked at the note. She felt sorry. She said, "Mom, you are right. I was too angry. I should not quit. I will try again. I will be patient. Thank you, mom."
+
+Her mom hugged her. She said, "You are welcome, Sara. I am proud of you. You are a good piano player. Now, let's play this song together."
+Sara was a stubborn girl. She did not like to learn new things. She only liked to play with her toys and eat her favorite foods. She did not like to try new foods, especially fruits and vegetables.
+
+One day, her mom took her to the park. There were many trees and flowers and birds in the park. Sara liked to run and swing and slide. But she did not like to look at the plants and animals. She said they were boring.
+
+Her mom saw a bush with red berries. She said, "Look, Sara, these are berries. They are sweet and juicy and good for you. Do you want to try one?"
+
+Sara shook her head. She said, "No, I don't like berries. I only like cookies and candy."
+
+Her mom said, "But berries are better than cookies and candy. They have vitamins and fiber and antioxidants. They help you grow and stay healthy. And they taste yummy. Please, just try one."
+
+Sara said, "No, no, no. I don't want to learn about berries. I don't want to taste berries. I want to play and eat what I like."
+
+Her mom sighed. She said, "Okay, Sara, you can play and eat what you like. But I hope one day you will learn to try new things and enjoy them. You are missing out on a lot of fun and flavor."
+
+She picked a berry and ate it. She smiled and said, "Mmm, this is delicious. I wish you would try it, Sara. You don't know what you are missing."
+
+Sara watched her mom eat the berry. She saw her smile and heard her say it was delicious. She felt curious. She wondered what the berry tasted like. She thought maybe it was not so bad. She thought maybe she could learn to like it.
+
+She reached out her hand and picked a berry. She looked at it. It was red and shiny and round. She smelled it. It was sweet and fresh and fruity. She bit it. It was soft and juicy and tangy. She liked it. She said, "Mmm, this is delicious. You were right, mom. Berries are good. I'm glad I tried it. I learned something new today."
+
+Her mom hugged her and said, "I'm proud of you, Sara. You were brave and curious and open-minded. You learned to try new things and enjoy them. That's a good skill to have. You will have a lot of fun and flavor in your life."
+
+Sara smiled and said, "Thank you, mom. I love you. And I love berries. Can I have another one?"
+
+Her mom said, "Of course, Sara. You can have as many as you want. But don't forget to share with the birds. They love berries too."
+Sara and Ben like to play in the garden. They have a big box of toys. They have cars, dolls, balls and books. They share their toys and have fun.
+
+One day, Sara has a new idea. She says, "Let's bury some toys in the dirt. Then we can dig them up later and pretend they are treasure." Ben thinks this is a good idea. He likes to dig and find things.
+
+They take some toys and a shovel and go to a corner of the garden. They dig a hole and put some toys in it. They cover the hole with dirt and pat it down. They make a mark with a stick so they can find it again.
+
+Then they go to another corner and do the same thing. They bury more toys and make another mark. They do this until they have four holes with toys in them.
+
+They are about to dig up the first hole when they hear a voice. It is Mom. She says, "Sara, Ben, time to go to the shop. We need to buy some food and some clothes. Come on, hurry up."
+
+Sara and Ben groan. They don't want to go to the shop. They want to play with their toys. They say, "But Mom, we are having fun. Can we stay a little longer?"
+
+Mom shakes her head. She says, "No, you can't. We have to go now. The shop will close soon. And you have to wear clean clothes. You are all dirty from playing in the dirt. Go and wash your hands and faces and change your clothes."
+
+Sara and Ben think Mom is very bossy. They don't like to do what she says. They want to do what they want. They say, "OK, Mom, we will go. But can we come back later and play with our toys?"
+
+Mom nods. She says, "Yes, you can. But only if you are good at the shop and help me carry the bags. And don't touch anything you are not supposed to. And don't run away from me. And don't make a mess. And don't whine. And don't fight. And don't..."
+
+Sara and Ben roll their eyes. They think Mom has too many rules. They say, "OK, OK, we get it. We will be good. But can we go now?"
+
+Mom smiles. She says, "Yes, we can go now. Come on, let's go to the car. And don't forget to bring your shovel. You will need it to dig up your toys later."
+
+Sara and Ben grab their shovel and follow Mom. They hope the shop will not take too long. They can't wait to come back and play with their toys. They wonder what they will find in the holes. They hope it will be treasure.
+Lily and Ben are twins. They like to play and laugh together. But today, Lily has a sore mouth. She does not want to eat or drink. She cries and holds her mouth.
+
+Ben is sad. He wants to help his sister. He asks Mom, "Why is Lily's mouth sore?"
+
+Mom says, "Lily has a cavity. It is a small hole in her tooth. It hurts her mouth. She needs to go to the dentist. The dentist will fix her tooth and make her mouth healthy again."
+
+Ben says, "I don't like the dentist. He has a big chair and a loud drill. He makes my mouth open wide. It is scary."
+
+Mom says, "I know, Ben. But the dentist is nice and gentle. He only wants to help you and Lily. He will give you a sticker and a toy after he fixes your tooth. If you brush your teeth every day, you will not get cavities. You will have a healthy mouth and a happy smile."
+
+Ben says, "OK, Mom. I will brush my teeth every day. And I will go with Lily to the dentist. I will hold her hand and tell her it is OK. I love Lily. I want her to have a healthy mouth and a happy smile too."
+Anna liked to play with her fan. It was a fancy fan with pink and purple feathers. She liked to turn it on and off and make the feathers move. She pretended she was a princess with a fan.
+
+One day, she wanted to show her fan to her friend Ben. She brought it to his house and said, "Look at my fan! It is fancy and fun. Do you want to play with it?"
+
+Ben looked at the fan and nodded. He took it from Anna and turned it on. He liked how the feathers tickled his face. He laughed and said, "This fan is cool! Can I keep it?"
+
+Anna frowned and shook her head. She wanted her fan back. She said, "No, you can not keep it. It is mine. Give it to me!"
+
+Ben did not want to give it to her. He said, "No, I like it. It is mine now. Go away!"
+
+Anna and Ben started to fight over the fan. They pulled and pushed and shouted. The fan was in the middle of their tug-of-war. Suddenly, the fan broke. The feathers flew everywhere. The fan stopped working.
+
+Anna and Ben stopped fighting. They looked at the broken fan and felt sad. They both said, "Sorry. I did not mean to break it."
+
+They hugged and said, "It is okay. We are still friends. We can share other toys."
+
+They picked up the feathers and threw them in the air. They pretended they were snowflakes and danced. They forgot about the fan and had fun.
+Anna and Ben were twins who liked to play with their toys. One day, they found an ashtray in their dad's room. It was shiny and round and had a lid that could open and shut. Anna wanted to play with it, but Ben grabbed it first.
+
+"Give it to me!" Anna said. "It's my turn!"
+
+"No, it's mine!" Ben said. "I saw it first!"
+
+They pulled and pushed and shouted. The ashtray fell on the floor and broke. The lid came off and some gray stuff spilled out. It smelled bad and made them cough.
+
+"Look what you did!" Anna said. "You broke dad's ashtray!"
+
+"You did it too!" Ben said. "You were too rough!"
+
+They heard their dad coming up the stairs. They were scared. They tried to hide the ashtray and the gray stuff under the bed.
+
+Their dad opened the door and saw them. He looked angry. He saw the ashtray and the gray stuff. He looked sad.
+
+"Who did this?" he asked. "Who broke my ashtray?"
+
+Anna and Ben looked at each other. They felt bad. They knew they had done something wrong. They wished they had not fought over the ashtray. They wished they had not been envious of each other. They wished they had shared.
+
+They said sorry to their dad. They said sorry to each other. They hugged and made up.
+
+Their dad said he was not mad at them. He said he loved them. He said he was glad they were sorry. He said he did not need the ashtray. He said he wanted to quit smoking. He said he wanted to be healthy for them.
+
+He hugged them and kissed them. He said they were his best gifts. He said they could play with his other toys. He said they could have fun together.
+
+Anna and Ben smiled. They felt happy. They said they loved their dad. They said they loved each other. They said they would not fight again. They said they would share.
+
+They went to play with their dad's other toys. They had fun together. They forgot about the ashtray and the gray stuff. They were a happy family.
+Anna liked to play in the park with her friends. They had fun on the swings, the slide and the seesaw. But Anna's favorite thing was the climbing equipment. It had ropes, ladders and bars to hang from. Anna was very good at climbing and she felt brave and strong.
+
+One day, Anna saw a new boy in the park. He was bigger than her and he had a mean face. He went to the climbing equipment and shouted, "This is mine! No one else can play here!" He pushed away the other children who tried to climb with him. Anna was angry and sad. She wanted to play too.
+
+She went to her mom and said, "Mom, can I play on the climbing equipment? The new boy won't allow me. He is very rude and selfish."
+
+Her mom looked at the new boy and said, "No, Anna, you can't play there right now. He is not being nice and he might hurt you. Why don't you play with your friends on the other equipment? Maybe he will learn to share later."
+
+Anna nodded and went to join her friends. She was still curious about the climbing equipment, but she knew her mom was wise and wanted her to be safe and happy. She hoped the new boy would change his mind and be friendly soon. She thought, "Maybe I can teach him how to climb better. Then we can have fun together."
+Sam and Mia like to play with rockets. They have many rockets of different colors and sizes. They pretend to fly them to the moon and the stars. Sometimes they make noises like zoom and boom.
+
+One day, they find a big rocket in the garage. It is red and shiny and has a button on it. Sam says, "Let's play with this rocket. It looks fun and reliable. Maybe it can really fly." Mia says, "OK, but be careful. It is not ours. It is Dad's. He is working on it."
+
+They take the rocket outside and put it on the grass. Sam pushes the button and waits. Nothing happens. He pushes it again and again. Still nothing. He says, "This rocket is broken. It does not work." Mia says, "Maybe it needs batteries. Let's look inside."
+
+They open the rocket and see wires and tubes and things they do not know. They touch them and pull them and twist them. They hear a beep and a hiss. The rocket starts to shake and smoke. Sam says, "Uh-oh. We did something bad. Let's run away."
+
+They drop the rocket and run back to the garage. They hear a loud bang and see a flash. The rocket explodes and flies into the air. Pieces of it fall everywhere. Sam and Mia hide behind a box. They are scared and sorry. They say, "We are in big trouble. Dad will be very mad. We should not have played with his rocket."
+Sam likes to play with his toy train. He has a big engine and many cars. He makes the engine go fast and pull the cars around the track. He likes to make noises like a real train. Choo-choo!
+
+One day, his sister Lily wants to play with him. She asks Sam if she can have a car. Sam says no. He says the engine needs all the cars. He says it is his train and he can do what he wants. Lily is sad. She says that is not fair. She says they can share the train and have fun together.
+
+Sam does not listen. He insists that he has the engine and he has all the cars. He says Lily can play with something else. He makes the engine go faster and faster. He does not see that the track is broken. The engine hits the gap and falls off the track. It breaks into pieces. Sam is shocked. He cries. He says his engine is bad. He says he wants a new one.
+
+Lily hears Sam cry. She comes to see what happened. She sees the broken engine and the cars. She feels sorry for Sam. She says she can help him fix the engine. She says they can use glue and tape and make it good again. She says then they can play with the train together. She says she will let Sam have the engine and she will have one car.
+
+Sam stops crying. He looks at Lily. He says he is sorry. He says he was mean to her. He says he will share the train with her. He says he will let her have two cars. He says she is a good sister. He says thank you. Lily smiles. She says you are welcome. She says she is a happy sister. They hug. They fix the engine and play with the train. They make noises like a real train. Choo-choo!
+Lily loved sunflowers. She liked to look at their big yellow faces and feel their soft petals. She wanted to grow her own sunflower in her garden. She asked her mom for some seeds and a pot. Mom helped her plant the seeds and water them. She told Lily to be patient and wait for the sunflower to grow.
+
+Every day, Lily checked on her pot. She looked for a green sprout or a bud. But she saw nothing. She felt sad and wondered if her sunflower would ever come. She asked her mom, "Why is my sunflower not growing?"
+
+Mom smiled and said, "Sometimes, things take time. You have to keep watering and caring for your pot. And you have to trust that your sunflower is growing under the soil. One day, you will see a surprise."
+
+Lily nodded and tried to be hopeful. She kept watering and caring for her pot. She talked to her sunflower and sang to it. She hoped it could hear her and feel her love.
+
+One morning, Lily woke up and ran to her garden. She gasped and clapped her hands. There, in her pot, was a tall green stem with a big yellow flower. It was her sunflower! It had grown and bloomed. It was beautiful and bright. It looked like a happy smile.
+
+Lily hugged her mom and said, "Thank you, mom! You were right! My sunflower was a surprise. I love it so much!"
+
+Mom hugged her back and said, "You're welcome, Lily. I'm proud of you. You were patient and kind. You helped your sunflower grow. You are a good gardener."
+
+Lily smiled and kissed her sunflower. She felt a tight warmth in her heart. She felt happy and grateful. She had a sunflower and a mom who loved her. She had everything she needed.

+One day, Tom wants to go for a ride with his friend Sam. Sam has a blue motorcycle that is smaller than Tom's. They decide to meet at the park and have fun. Tom goes to his garage and prepares his motorcycle. He checks the tires, the oil and the gas. He puts on his helmet and his jacket and starts his motorcycle.
+
+He rides to the park and sees Sam waiting for him. Sam waves and smiles. They greet each other and talk about their motorcycles.
+
+"Hi, Tom. Your motorcycle is very nice. I like the red color," Sam says.
+
+"Thank you, Sam. Your motorcycle is nice too. I like the blue color," Tom says.
+
+They decide to ride around the park and see the trees, the flowers and the birds. They have a lot of fun and laugh. They are careful not to go too fast or too close to the people and the cars.
+
+The sun starts to go down and the sky becomes dark. Tom and Sam see the stars and the moon. They decide to go back to their homes. They say goodbye and thank each other for the ride.
+
+"Bye, Tom. I had a lot of fun. See you tomorrow," Sam says.
+
+"Bye, Sam. Me too. See you tomorrow," Tom says.
+
+They ride their motorcycles to their homes and park them in their garages. They take off their helmets and their jackets and go inside. They are happy and tired. They have a snack and a drink and go to bed. They dream of riding their motorcycles again.
+Ben and Mia were playing in the garden. They saw a big, red bird on the fence. It had a long, yellow beak and shiny, black eyes.
+
+"Hello, bird!" Ben said. "What is your name?"
+
+The bird did not answer. It looked at Ben and Mia with its head tilted.
+
+"Maybe it is shy," Mia said. "Let's give it some food."
+
+They ran inside and got a plate from the kitchen. They put some bread and seeds on the plate and carried it outside.
+
+"Here, bird, here!" Mia called. "We have a snack for you!"
+
+The bird flew down from the fence and landed on the plate. It was so big that it covered the whole plate. It pecked at the bread and seeds with its beak.
+
+"Wow, you are enormous!" Ben said. "You must be very hungry!"
+
+The bird nodded and made a loud, happy sound. It ate all the food on the plate and then looked at Ben and Mia again.
+
+"Thank you, children!" the bird said. "You are very kind!"
+
+Ben and Mia were surprised. The bird could talk!
+
+"What is your name?" Ben asked again.
+
+"My name is Ruby," the bird said. "I am a parrot. I can repeat what I hear."
+
+"Ruby, Ruby, Ruby!" Mia said.
+
+"Ruby, Ruby, Ruby!" the bird said.
+
+They laughed and played with the bird until it was time to go inside. They said goodbye to Ruby and hoped to see her again.
+Tom and Sam were playing cowboys and robbers in the garden. Tom had a hat and a pistol. Sam had a scarf and a stick. They ran and hid behind the trees and the bushes.
+
+"Bang, bang, you're dead, Sam!" Tom shouted, pointing his pistol at Sam.
+
+"No, I'm not, you missed me, Tom!" Sam shouted back, waving his stick.
+
+They laughed and chased each other. They pretended to shoot and fall and get up again.
+
+But then it started to rain. Big drops of water fell from the sky. They made the grass and the dirt wet. They made Tom and Sam wet too.
+
+"Let's go inside, Tom, it's too wet!" Sam said.
+
+"No, let's stay, it's fun!" Tom said.
+
+He ran to the slide and climbed up. He slid down fast. He splashed in a puddle. He laughed.
+
+Sam followed him. He climbed up too. He slid down too. He splashed too. He laughed too.
+
+But then Tom saw something. A big dog was coming. It had black fur and sharp teeth. It barked loud. It looked angry.
+
+"Sam, look, a dog!" Tom said.
+
+He was scared. He grabbed his pistol. He pointed it at the dog.
+
+"Go away, dog, or I'll shoot you!" Tom said.
+
+But the dog did not go away. It came closer. It barked louder. It looked angrier.
+
+Sam was scared too. He grabbed his stick. He stood next to Tom.
+
+"Tom, I'll help you, we'll protect each other!" Sam said.
+
+They held their pistol and their stick. They faced the dog. They were brave.
+
+But then they heard a voice. It was Mom.
+
+"Tom, Sam, what are you doing? Come inside, it's raining!" Mom said.
+
+She saw the dog. She saw the pistol and the stick. She was not happy.
+
+"Tom, Sam, that's not a real dog, that's a toy dog. And that's not a real pistol, that's a water pistol. And that's not a real stick, that's a plastic stick. You're making a mess, you're wet and dirty!" Mom said.
+
+She took the pistol and the stick. She took Tom and Sam. She brought them inside. She gave them towels and clothes. She gave them cookies and milk.
+
+"Tom, Sam, you can play cowboys and robbers, but not with a water pistol and a plastic stick. And not in the rain. And not with a toy dog. You have to be careful and safe. And you have to listen to me. Do you understand?" Mom said.
+
+Tom and Sam nodded. They were sorry. They hugged Mom.
+
+"We understand, Mom. We love you, Mom. You protect us, Mom." Tom and Sam said.
+Anna liked to play with her dolls. She had many dolls, but her favorite was Lily. Lily had long hair and a pink dress. Anna liked to brush Lily's hair and make her look pretty.
+
+One day, Anna found a mirror in her mom's room. It was a big mirror that showed her whole body. Anna thought it was fun to see herself and Lily in the mirror. She decided to add some things to make them look more fancy.
+
+She put a hat on Lily's head and a scarf around her neck. She put a necklace on herself and a bracelet on her wrist. She smiled and said, "Look, Lily, we are so beautiful!"
+
+But then, she saw something strange in the mirror. There was another girl who looked just like her, and another doll who looked just like Lily. They had the same hat, scarf, necklace, and bracelet. They smiled and said, "Look, Anna, we are so beautiful!"
+
+Anna was scared. She did not know who the other girl and doll were. She thought they were not ordinary. She thought they were magic. She ran away from the mirror and hugged Lily. She said, "Lily, I don't like the mirror. It makes us have twins. Let's go play somewhere else."
+Sara likes to play princess. She has a pink dress, a shiny crown, and a wand. She pretends to be a princess in her room. She says, "I am a princess and I can do anything I want."
+
+One day, her brother Tom comes into her room. He is holding a frog. He says, "Look, Sara, I found a frog in the garden. Do you want to see it?" He puts the frog on her bed.
+
+Sara is scared of the frog. She thinks it is disgusting. She says, "No, Tom, I don't want to see it. Take it away. It is disgusting. It will make my bed dirty."
+
+Tom laughs. He says, "But, Sara, don't you know? This is a magic frog. If you kiss it, it will turn into a prince. Then you can marry him and be a real princess."
+
+Sara is angry. She says, "That is not true, Tom. That is a silly story. I don't want to kiss a frog. I don't want to marry a prince. I just want to play princess by myself. Go away, Tom, and take your frog with you."
+
+Tom shrugs. He says, "OK, Sara, suit yourself. But you are missing a chance to be a real princess. Come on, frog, let's go find someone else who will kiss you." He picks up the frog and leaves the room.
+
+Sara is happy. She says, "Goodbye, Tom. Goodbye, frog. I don't need you. I am a princess and I can do anything I want." She picks up her wand and waves it in the air. She says, "I wish for a cake, a doll, and a pony." She smiles and waits for her wish to come true.
+Lily and Ben were playing with their toy cars and trucks in the backyard. They liked to make roads and bridges with sand and sticks. They also liked to pretend that they were fixing the cars and trucks when they broke down.
+
+One day, they found a big box in the garage. Inside the box, there was an old toy car that looked very dirty and rusty. It had no wheels, no doors, and no lights. Lily and Ben wondered who owned the car and why it was in the box.
+
+They decided to ask their grandpa, who was sitting on the porch. He was elderly and had white hair and glasses. He liked to read books and tell stories.
+
+"Grandpa, what is this car?" Lily asked, holding the car in her hands.
+
+"Oh, that's my old toy car. I got it when I was a little boy, just like you. It was my favorite toy. I used to play with it all the time. But then it got damaged and I couldn't fix it. So I put it in the box and forgot about it." Grandpa said, smiling sadly.
+
+"Can we fix it, grandpa? Can we restore it?" Ben asked, looking at the car with curiosity.
+
+"Well, I don't know, Ben. It's very old and broken. You would need a lot of tools and parts and skills to restore it. And I don't have any of those things anymore." Grandpa said, shaking his head.
+
+"But we have tools and parts and skills, grandpa! We have hammers and nails and glue and paint and scissors and tape and paper and stickers and crayons and buttons and beads and feathers and yarn and... and... and..." Lily said, listing all the things they had in their playroom.
+
+"And we have bands, grandpa! We can use bands to hold the wheels and the doors and the lights!" Ben said, showing grandpa a box of colorful rubber bands.
+
+Grandpa looked at Lily and Ben and their bright eyes and eager voices. He felt a warm feeling in his heart. He thought that maybe, just maybe, they could restore his old toy car. And maybe, just maybe, they could restore his old joy.
+
+"Okay, okay. Let's give it a try. Let's restore the car. But you have to be careful and gentle and creative. And you have to work together and have fun. Can you do that?" Grandpa said, getting up from his chair.
+
+"Yes, yes, yes!" Lily and Ben said, nodding and clapping.
+
+They took the car and the box of bands and ran to their playroom. Grandpa followed them, carrying his tools and parts and skills. He was ready to help them and to watch them restore his old toy car. He was also ready to restore his old memories and his old dreams.
+Lily was very excited to meet her new baby brother. She had been waiting for a long time to see him. She wanted to hug him and play with him and show him her toys.
+
+When Mom and Dad came home with the infant, Lily ran to the door and shouted, "Hello, baby! I am Lily, your big sister!" She peeked into the blanket and saw his tiny face and hands. He was sleeping and looked very cute.
+
+Mom and Dad smiled and said, "Lily, this is Ben. He is your baby brother. He is very happy to meet you, too. But he is very small and needs a lot of rest and care. You can help us by being gentle and quiet with him, okay?"
+
+Lily nodded and said, "Okay, Mom and Dad. I will be a good sister. Can I hold him, please?"
+
+Mom and Dad said, "Sure, Lily. But first, let's sit on the couch and we will show you how to hold him safely. You have to support his head and back and be very careful not to drop him or squeeze him too hard."
+
+Lily followed Mom and Dad to the couch and sat between them. They helped her hold Ben in her arms and she felt his warm breath and soft hair. She looked at him with wonder and love and said, "Hi, Ben. I love you. You are my brother and I am your sister. We will have a lot of fun together. I will teach you many things and we will be creative. We will draw and sing and dance and make stories. You will like it, I promise."
+
+Ben opened his eyes and looked at Lily. He made a small noise and smiled. Lily smiled back and said, "He likes me, Mom and Dad. He likes me!"
+
+Mom and Dad hugged Lily and Ben and said, "We love you, Lily. And we love you, Ben. You are our children and we are a family. We are very lucky and happy."
+Mia and Leo were playing in the garden. They liked to run and jump and hide behind the trees. They also liked to look for animals and bugs. Sometimes they saw birds and butterflies and ants. But they never saw a rabbit.
+
+One day, they saw something white and fluffy behind a bush. They ran to see what it was. It was a rabbit! It had soft fur and long ears and a cute nose. It looked at them with big eyes.
+
+"Hello, rabbit!" Mia said. "Do you want to play with us?"
+
+The rabbit did not say anything. It was shy. It moved a little bit, but did not come out of the bush.
+
+"Please, rabbit, don't be scared," Leo said. "We are nice. We have carrots for you."
+
+He took out a carrot from his pocket and held it out to the rabbit. The rabbit smelled the carrot and liked it. It came out of the bush and took the carrot from Leo's hand. It ate the carrot and made a happy sound.
+
+Mia and Leo smiled. They were happy to make a new friend. They gave the rabbit more carrots and stroked its fur. The rabbit liked them too. It let them hug it and play with it.
+
+They played for a long time. They ran and jumped and hid behind the trees. The rabbit followed them and had fun. It was not shy anymore. It was ready to have fun. Mia and Leo were glad they found the rabbit. They hoped it would appear again.
+Lily was sleeping in a big bed in the hospital. She was sick and had to stay there for many days. She missed her home and her toys and her dog. She wanted to see her mom and dad, but they could only visit her sometimes.
+
+One morning, she heard a soft voice say, "Hello, Lily. Do you want to wake up?" She opened her eyes and saw a lady in a white coat. The lady had a kind face and a stethoscope around her neck. She was a doctor.
+
+"Hi, doctor," Lily said. She felt tired and sore.
+

+
+"Let's go down the slide together!" Anna says.
+
+"OK!" Ben says.
+
+They climb up the stairs and sit on the slide. Anna holds Ben's hand. They are ready to go.
+
+But then, Anna has an idea. She thinks of a joke. She lets go of Ben's hand and says, "Part!"
+
+Ben does not understand. He looks at Anna. She smiles and pushes him down the slide.
+
+"Ha ha ha!" Anna laughs. "That was a joke! Part means go away!"
+
+Ben feels a bump on his bottom. He slides down very fast. He is scared and angry. He does not think it is funny.
+
+He gets up and runs to his mom. He tells her what Anna did. His mom hugs him and says, "I'm sorry, Ben. That was not a nice joke. Anna should not have done that."
+
+Anna sees Ben crying. She feels bad. She did not mean to hurt him. She just wanted to make him laugh. She runs to him and says, "I'm sorry, Ben. I was just joking. Please don't be mad at me. Can we still be friends?"
+
+Ben looks at Anna. He sees that she is sorry. He is still a little embarrassed, but he is not angry anymore. He says, "OK, Anna. I forgive you. But don't do that again. It was not fun."
+
+Anna nods and says, "I promise. I won't do that again. Can we play some more?"
+
+Ben smiles and says, "OK. Let's play some more. But no more jokes like that."
